After I did that, Ubuntu didn't boot anymore, it just blocks at the boot loadscreen. I entered the repair mode and checked the xorg.conf file, but it was totally empty. Then i did "sudo nvidia-xconfig", and it added a few lines to xorg.conf, but Ubuntu still won't boot. Can anyone help? [00:26] acicula, correct, but that's because the passphrase is the same as my password I think.

[01:28] !alien [01:28] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[01:30] because seriously ,that's ridiculous. upgrading should just work [01:30] Grexeo, The size depends on your hard disk. [01:30] Grexeo: ... your harddisk .. and your needs... [01:30] LinuxGuy2009: yup, nice page but it didn't provide an answer (useradd/adduser without login-screen / gui-privileges)? [01:30] Grexeo, the automatic method, which I never use, sets the /partition as ext4 and creates a swap partition.

[01:32] tar-: User and group privledges do not seem to have a setting for keeping them from a desktop environment. [01:32] tar-: Just remove the desktop environment and problem solved. [01:32] also how do I get the window buttons on the right side? all the theme previews show the buttons on the right side but they show up on the left side [01:32] except google chrome [01:32] which is correct [01:32] !controls [01:32] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[01:33] binbrain: it should.. do a "sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and then check System>Admin>update manager to see if it's listed.. [01:33] LinuxGuy2009: I need the desktop-environment for my regular account, unless i can remove it for a specific user? [01:33] PythonPup: ahhh, gotcha [01:33] LinuxGuy2009: thx though :) [01:33] tar-: like i said through the user and group settings no it cant be done there. [01:33] acicula, yes..but cant do anything [01:33] acicula: /j #winehq [01:33] all is in read only mode [01:33] gartral, ? [01:33] 10.04 install seems painfully slow. Is that caused by using ext4? [01:33] for this... [01:34] how can I make my startup time even faster (update, not fresh install) [01:34] acicula, want try of another system [01:34] but cant too [01:34] sudo-su, hmm that may prevent it from working [01:34] acicula: that i have no idea.. ive never used the open source vbox [01:34] ade2_, There are cases when ext4 is slow, but they are not common. It is probably something else. [01:34] LinuxGuy2009: I think you're wrong, as the system comes with several users without a login-screen.. the root-account for instance. but thx for answering. [01:34] final question: I upgraded my netbook to 10.04 and I get static on the right channel of my headphones in ubuntu, but not in windows. this didn't happen in 9.10 and it doesn't happen with speakers, only headphones [01:35] tar-: there is no root account by default. Your wrong. [01:35] !sudo [01:35] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:35] sound will still play, but the right channel will get random bursts of static [01:35] !root [01:35] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:35] sudo-su, remounting rw may help, or checking the disk to see whats wrong/fix the filesystem may help it to boot normally again [01:35] heya, is ext4 stable enough to be recommended yet? [01:35] PythonPup, I saw the comment about ext4 being slow with dpkg... It's weird, 9.10 didn't take particularly long to install on this box... [01:35] c3l: yel [01:35] anyone know if there are issues upgrading a wubi install of 9.10 to 10.04? [01:35] LinuxGuy2009: try running "sudo su" in your terminal [01:35] Which files in /boot are safe to get rid of? Do I then have to edit grub.conf (menu.lst?) afterward? I'm getting ready to upgrade from hardy to lucid, but /boot is full [01:35] c3l: yes [01:35] c3l: 10.04 is considered to be an LTS long term support. So in general yes. [01:36] !lts [01:36] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [01:36] c3l, I think the official word is that ext4 is stable. My own recommendation is that it is not ready for prime time. [01:36] LinuxGuy2009, so just in general? ;) [01:36] tar-: su, sudo, gksudo are not a root account [01:36] craigbass1976: full of what? [01:36] PythonPup, thats what ive heard to, I guss I'll stay on ext3 for a extra while then =) [01:37] c3l: Well you have to understand that ubuntu is based on unstable code from debian. debian doesnt use it yet in what they consider stable. [01:37] Scunizi, full of kernels. Boot is it's own partition, and I only gave it a couple hundred megs [01:37] c3l: Hense the term generally. [01:37] googling around gives me https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/266927 but that's the wrong channel (and yes I did check to see if my headphones were on backwards :P [01:37] c3l: I haven't had any issues with it in the last several months of running it. [01:37] ) [01:37] ade2_, dpkg is horrible slow at me....currently upgrading to lucid [01:37] LinuxGuy2009, ahh now I get it [01:37] craigbass1976: update should take care of what's there. [01:37] ade2_, ext4 [01:37] c3l: cool [01:38] im having an issue where my sound doesnt work at all. unmuted it and screwed with teh settings and stilln o luck [01:38] any idea how to fix this [01:38] Scunizi, I'm told (as the upgrade is borking) that /boot is full. === zz_b0w is now known as b0w [01:38] zasthur: onboard sound or pci card? [01:38] ext3 is stable. In most cases the performance is decent. I have seen cases where switching to xfs speeded things up a lot. I don't mean to suggest everyone do that. But, sometimes a particular filesystem fills your needs better than others. [01:38] onboard [01:38] Scunizi, ya it seems to be working fine for most, but ive heard about some issus, assumingly not much to worry about [01:38] acicula, gartral, Scunizi, yep that all worked like a charm.. happily running fully migrated vm now on clean lucid from previous karmic. Many thanks [01:38] craigbass1976: ouch.. didn't know that would happen.. I've never run a seperate /boot before.. [01:38] MadMike: the repos are getting hammered by everyone upgrading at the same time. [01:38] hipitihop: cool [01:39] !slow [01:39] The Ubuntu repositories and ISO mirrors are currently under heavy load. Please consider using !torrents to download ISO images, and be patient with APT updates. Also, try changing !mirrors [01:39] Has anyone here used creative MP3 players with ubuntu? If so, what's the experience been like? [01:39] !mirrors [01:39] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Lucid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [01:39] craigbass1976, I have had that happen. How big is your /boot partition. I always use a seperate /boot [01:39] kswan, download is finished, so it cant be with the repos.... [01:39] Scunizi, there was a logic to it when I installed hardy, but I can't remember what it was [01:39] brb [01:39] Guest30062: Why not just try it and see? You might be surprised. [01:39] hipitihop: glad to be of help man [01:39] Guest30062: I have an old Rhomba that works great [01:40] craigbass1976: do you have a seperate /home partition? [01:40] LinuxGuy2009: using onboard sound [01:40] software sources wont launch. please help [01:40] how can i store a synaptic configuration? I hate disable RTCornerButton and RBCornerButton on my touchpad D= [01:40] craigbass1976: get rid of old kernels [01:40] LinuxGuy2009: then to make it more explicit, try running "sudo su root" in your terminal. I may have misunderstood entirely, but I don't think so. the shell seems to think a root account exists, and anything i create then is with user:group = root:root. [01:40] you probably only ever boot to the most recent one anyway [01:41] !root [01:41] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:41] anyone know why so many packages in getdeb.net are broken? (when you click on "Install this now" they just throw a message back - "Could not find package 'nameofpackage'.")? [01:41] Does anybody know why gnome-terminal would be starting in / (root directory) instead of ~ (home directory) every time I open it? [01:41] !root > tar- [01:41] tar-, please see my private message [01:41] Scunizi: roomba + wii remote = vacum with lag :P [01:41] gartral: :) ...

I can't get them to work together [01:46] On board Intel [01:46] hipitihop: Start it up and select install instead of try and then install from desktop.Otherwise use the alternate CD.

[01:48] LinuxGuy2009, how often can one expect to get a corrupt ISO? [01:48] !apache [01:48] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:48] ^Lem^: try IDE in the bios and see what happens [01:48] CheckMate: nothing. it happens even if I'm not playing any sound [01:48] Alright, thanks guys. [01:49] Blah forget about lampp [01:49] if I reboot it works for a few minutes, then static starts again [01:49] ^Lem^, What Filesystem are you using? Are the drives using LVM? [01:49] !php [01:49] PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/php5.html [01:49] <^Lem^> LinuxGuy2009: Ok i'll give that a go next time i reboot [01:49] LinuxGuy2009: put in sudo lshw -C audio into the terminal... flashed a few lines then went that disappeared [01:49] Guest30062: One can expect to get a failed ISO......never. How could you ever know in advance? [01:49] <^Lem^> Guest30062: Default ext4 filesystems on all partitions, no LVM, all regular primary partitions [01:49] LinuxGuy2009, IDE bad [01:49] this is on an acer aspire one. I don't think I have any esoteric hardware [01:49] LinuxGuy2009, it doesn't get as far as that choice [01:49] AngryParsley: even stranger. I am thinking PulseAudio is still messing things up [01:49] Guest30062: IDE bad why? [01:50] CheckMate: yeah I gave up and just used windows on that machine [01:50] battery life on windows is longer anyway [01:50] dominicdinada: if you're calling the bot for your own use then do it so it doesn't spam the channel.. use /msg ubottu ! and it will PM you with the answer [01:50] LinuxGuy2009, I thought there might be a precedent or statistic for bad images [01:50] Does Kubuntu support compiz ? [01:50] Guest30062: No the image is perfect on the server always. [01:50] hey there. anyone else has Scribes crashing on ubuntu 10.04? it won't launch for me. [01:50] ok Scunizi Just looking for the walk through for apache,php,mysql not the lamp one [01:51] Fraxtil: hit Alt-F2 and type in gedit .bashrc (notice the period in front of bashrc) Scroll down to the bottom and put cd /home/username (while substituting username) [01:51] LinuxGuy2009, Block level controller in IDE mode doesn't seem to like modern OS's much. I was thinking he should check the drive's firmware however dangerous if one doesn't [01:51] bobbyyu: You can install and run compiz in kubuntu just fine [01:51] dominicdinada: on how to install?

I just changed it back and will restart... see if that resolves it [01:57] Oe this program cannot translate into Spanish casually that you know of it man [01:57] <^Lem^> Guest30062, LinuxGuy2009: thanks for your input guys, I'll give IDE mode a go, see if it's the same. i think it's either 1. the drive is dying (though no SMART errors, surface scans are fine, no bad sectors recorded), 2. kernel issue and/or filesystem options perhaps, or 3. driver for chipset causing strange behaviour. Never happened in Ubuntu 9.10 or earlier, immediately with 10.04 [01:57] !sources [01:57] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[01:57] Kapace_: sources.list needs edited [01:57] does anyone how to repair Touchpad' [01:58] no utility to do it for me, LinuxGuy2009? [01:58] Kapace_: /etc/apt/sources/list [01:58] My Touchpad works in KDE [01:58] Kapace_: nano [01:58] Is there a vnc-ish native to ubuntu, or am I going to have to install something? [01:58] does anyone know how i can get access of my bookmarks? i have upgraded to lucid and can't get past the login page cause my mouse and keyboard stopped working [01:58] but not in GNOME [01:58] LinuxGuy2009, if do go to trouble of another download for alternate, can that still do automated side by side install ? [01:58] Kapace_, sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [01:58] LinuxGuy2009, thanks anyway.. ill stick with gui then ... [01:58] dominicdinada: L=linux a=apache m=mysql p=php or pearl [01:58] dominicdinada: default for p is php [01:58] hipitihop: Should have the same partition options yes. Ask the room to make sure. [01:58] Scunizi, p, p is also Python [01:58] I know this === Tcalp- is now known as Tcalp [01:58] PythonPup: true.. [01:58] and PythonPup there are different versions [01:59] Kapace_: nano has menus its easy [01:59] devunt, I want other thing. What I want is to open a konsole with alt+ctrl+f1 (etc...) in case I need. I can do this using any linux. But, I am having issues with lucid [01:59] LinuxGuy2009, yeah but GUI is easier.. [01:59] via Apachefriends obviously has the most current including php 5.3.2 [01:59] hmm [01:59] Kapace_: Either way [01:59] thank you anyways :_ [01:59] Since I first installed Ubuntu, the fans in my Toshiba laptop have not been working properly. The symptoms overall are similar to those in this bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/461675 [01:59] My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5897.

[01:59] dominicdinada: you on desktop? open synaptic and search for php .. you'll see different versions.. search for apache .. same .. search for mysql .. ditto [01:59] *gdm* [01:59] with the latest versions of mysql, The repo's might however have an OLD version with an older php [02:00] Strife89: subscribe and follow the bug, wait for a fix === Guest9022 is now known as carlosgs91 [02:00] Does the alternate iso/cd install provide same automated partioning options so I can install side by side with existing Karmic install ? [02:00] Atamisk, It is not really the root password. Put your user password. [02:00] dominicdinada: default is to install the latest in the repositories [02:00] Touchpad' [02:00] craigbass1976: find out which one you're booting with [02:00] It works in KDE, not in GNOME [02:00] solutions [02:00] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop . and you will going there. [02:00] Atamisk, That assumes you are an administrator, which most users are. [02:00] gdm stop is for me' [02:00] devunt, You did not get yet [02:00] Atamisk: root password is the same one you used at install. Same one you use for everything that needs the elevated privileges. [02:00] :-( [02:00] PythonPup, no, it doesn't ask for my password, but root's specifically. i sudoed it and it still didn't work [02:00] i always grabbed the ones from apachefriends before and My question basically was if the repo's are up to date with the Php 5.3.2 :/ [02:00] :( ; [02:01] do sudo su [02:01] Are there any good tutorials for turning my Ubuntu laptop into a router for my Desktop running windows 7? [02:01] sudo su [02:01] Atamisk, What command were you running? [02:01] Atamisk: Thats because there is no default root account or password enabled. [02:01] My desktop doesnt have a wifi card, and the internet access is wifi only, meaning i want to plug an ethernet into my laptop, and be able to use the internet from there [02:01] dominicdinada: take a look.. http://packages.ubuntu.com [02:01] Random832, I guess there's a way to do it in synaptic. http://gaarai.com/2009/03/05/cleaning-out-old-linux-kernels-in-ubuntu/ I'm rolling butts now though, so I'll try it when I can get down the hall to the box in question [02:01] christo_m: easy if you are using Network Manager.

[02:02] christo_m: You have internet to your ubox, and want to pass that through to your win7box, right? [02:02] what is now the correct way to install latest skype on lucid ? [02:02] LinuxGuy2009: correct. I used to use ubuntu on my netbook and screwing around with lucid has made me go back to windows [02:03] devunt, It is not necessary to stop gdm. Because Alt+ctrl+f7 is the X and I want to be able to open other terminals from f1 up tu f6 [02:03] hipitihop: did you try downloading and installing skype?

From a terminal window, just type gdmsetup [02:04] orion_X11_: yes. I know, but I have a same problem as you [02:04] Ok folks have a great wherever you may be. Im outta here. [02:04] LinuxGuy2009, no, just remeber in karmic or earlier there were issues, hence the question [02:04] christo_m, I had a headless cent box routing for me here until the motherboard crapped out; if I had a box I could load an IDE drive in, I'd give you my iptables file [02:05] devunt, Is that a bug then? [02:05] Atamisk, Then unlock it by typing in your user password. Set whoever you want it to login as there and close it. [02:06] PythonPup, nope. no joy asks for root's password. i can ctcp or host a screenie [02:06] Atamisk: did you do a sudo su root command at one point or something?

Done! Set win7 for dhcp, and you're up. [02:07] PythonPup, yes [02:07] what's the command to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu? [02:07] PythonPup, i can sudo though, so my sudoers file is fine [02:08] StrangeCharm: in desktop or server?

In my book "A Practical Guide to Ubuntu" 2nd edition which covers 8.10 it tells me "It advises against upgrading systems that have had packages i [02:16] nstalled from repositories.

[02:32] Maxpayne - On the EeePC 1005PE, you need to select the USB drive as the primary active hard drive to get the install going. It is treating the USB disk as a hard drive rather than removable media. [02:32] any messages ? [02:33] i either loose connection or laptop goes to sleep and its not saving the packages so i download like 900 packages and then have to start all over [02:33] funkycat90210: follow the discussion. Intel is not my playground ;) [02:33] Atamisk, Then you type the password wrong. You may have caps lock on or some other input problem. You could have changed your password and forgotten.

I have recently upgraded to 10.04, and I like it a lot. I noticed after boot up, before logging in, there is an option to switch to a kde session, I tried this, and it was just a black screen. I'm wondering if there is a way to enable the kde option so I can try it out? [02:34] stitchlin: is there a way to free some space quickly? [02:34] anyone running 10.4 in vmware? [02:34] (by removing old unused packages) [02:34] have to stop the installer and resize the Partition [02:34] thevor: in terminal type .... sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:34] thevor: install kde-desktop [02:34] hope that you have the space and it finishes [02:34] how come that 10 GB is not enough? [02:34] Scunizi: Just pull everything on this partition (9.04) onto the Ex. HDD & then do a fresh install? That doesn't sound too awfully bad [02:34] ow thats plenty [02:34] oh ok thanks... [02:34] misreckoning: this is a windows trick, i would run a whole computer search and try to prioritize the search result by size [02:34] stitchlin: yeah me too :) even if it fails, I guess I can restart it [02:35] that's pretty simple [02:35] Still dont log in [02:35] PythonPup, http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a187/Usagi190/Screenshot.png note the ROOT password is requested [02:35] dunno if that made enough sense [02:35] 10.04 is a 1.5 gig install [02:35] i got it working [02:35] RPS: you don't have to pull everything.. just what is in /home/ .. from terminal type ls -a /home/ .... that's what you want to keep [02:36] I like the purple terminal [02:36] Guest19933 ...can you login to the aol website ok ?

[02:36] I added a new group. used chgrp to add that group to a dir of another user. I then gave the group permissions with chmod 775. I still cant make a dir in that dir. [02:36] But it don't log me in pidgin [02:36] What am I doing wrong? [02:36] ok ....do me a favor [02:36] Scunizi: Hmm might be easier to just mover everything in case I make a mistake.

[02:43] I was under an impression that NTFS had to be partition 1 for windows to read the disk, and USB needs partition 1 to be ext4 to boot. Is this correct? [02:43] <^paradox^> any idea on that anyone? [02:44] acicula: hmmm ok have you used ruby-debug-ide GEM with VIM & ruby-debug plugin to actually debug ruby code ?

I dont think so. [02:48] hello everyone [02:48] <_Techie_> i need to initialise the preamp on my soundcard, driver module snd-ca0106. does anybody know how to do this? [02:48] hey has anyone found decontrution effect on compiz in lynx? [02:48] bharat_: deconstruction effect? [02:48] AlphaBeta, i just recommend installing windows first. then ubuntu. [02:49] * theGman thinks his question is getting lost in the volumnous chatter :P [02:49] now that I have side by side install working ... and I have cleaned up some space on old 9.10 partition, can I use gparted to grow my lucid and shrink the old ? do I need to do that from livecd ? [02:49] Which Ubuntu do I download for my 64bit Computer to run with Windows [02:49] so, I can use ext4 as my partition 1, and NTFS as partition 2? and windows will be able to skip over the ext4 and just grab the NTFS? [02:49] well, this is an external drive [02:49] dhruvasagar, no i havent [02:49] well its like a cylinder that used to work in karmic [02:49] I'm not installing windows on it at all [02:49] acicula: ok [02:49] but I want to use it as a massive flash drive as well as an OS [02:49] has anybody debugged ruby code using VIM ? [02:49] heh i got cut off...anyhow even the desktop and home folder locations do not work [02:49] AlphaBeta, just ubuntu? then use EXT4 [02:49] bharat_: You mean Cube Reflection and Deformation?

[02:49] ubuntu lucid doesn't install on my laptop. It simply displays a blank screen after I enter installation menu. What happened? [02:50] and those are not listed as bookmarks in nautilus...thus pointing to a deeper issue [02:50] hey everyone [02:50] AlphaBeta, the only reason you would need to do a partition in fat32 or ntfs is if windows needs to read that drive.

What is lynx? [02:50] maxxist: yes, windows should be able to read the contents of the drive as well [02:50] AlphaBeta: Actually, to get a properly dual booting sys, that has a win os in it, win needs to be installed FIRST since it writes to the mbr, then install your linux flavor and it will also write to the mbr (if you want it to) but allows booting to the win install from a menu.

[02:57] I am having trouble to connect with xchat, I get a connection time out [02:57] rodd =| [02:57] after installing 10.04 (which went fine), when booting ubuntu 10.04 i get the message: mounting /root on /host failed | /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist, dropping to shell [02:57] anyone using a dell studio 15? [02:57] server seems to be set up properly though [02:57] GhostWolf: You could save the entire ~/.mozzilla directory [02:57] ghost wolf copy the .mozilla folder in your home [02:57] <^paradox^> is there any way that setting up a ppa for vlc so i could get the latest version and the libs codecs etc have caused the uprgade from 8.04 to 10.04 to abort? [02:58] hey. The Ubuntu Desktop widgets things [02:58] I have problem getting high resolution connecting my laptop to an external display. There are not any high resolutions avaiable in the Monitors dropdown menu. Could it be the graphics card that is the problem? [02:58] what are they called and how do I add them [02:58] I have a msft troll harassing me and whinning about gnome which I don't use [02:58] anyone know what the progam's name is for the menu bar, maybe i can purge it and reinstall it and fix that issue [02:58] <_Techie_> soreau, whenever i play ANY sound through the card, all i get is white noise (distorting preamp), however i can adjust the volume levels right down to a point where the preamp is no longer distorting the audio excessively, but the quality is still horrible [02:58] soreau, where would that be at? i can access files from this comp which is a windows xp comp [02:58] Is there a way to import apple podcasts to Rhythmbox music player [02:58] I found it most expediant to change feisty to lucid and run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [02:58] realubot: More likely than not, the graphics driver. Which card do you have? [02:58] can somebody point me to a webpage that details the proper boot options grub is supposed to pass to the new kernel in 10.04? [02:58] zelozelos: i just spent a bunch of time looking at /usr/share/mime and not getting very far figuring out how they map the mimetype to actual handlers [02:59] GhostWolf: It would be in /home/user/.mozilla/ [02:59] soreau, ok thanks [02:59] i see all the mime decls but not where theyre linked to actual executables [02:59] Ok, no takers on my lack of ubuntu wifi conn, how about someone telling me how I can remove network-manager so I can install wicd WITHOUT the removal process trying to uninstall my mysql-server and other things that logically seem unrelated... [02:59] Can anyone tell me how to configure upstart services? I want to control what services start at boot. [02:59] Ghost wolf just copy the whole .mozilla folder it will also save youre prefrences and addons [03:00] soreau: I have two card. Therefore I have compiled a module that shall stop one of the cards. So I think I use the integrated graphics card from Intel, but I also have a nVidia 210m (I think). [03:00] <_Techie_> soreau, also when i bot into windows, it initialises the preamp and if i softreboot into ubuntu it works, but from a cold boot... all i get is distortion [03:00] _Techie_: That sounds horrible. Have you tried disabling pulseaudio already? [03:00] *, speaker icon in the tray is missing, how do i get it back? [03:00] <_Techie_> soreau, how would one go about doign that? [03:00] Briareos|9, what im thinkin is that the handlers are links within the menubar that arent shown, but im not sure either [03:00] realubot: Which do you connect your monitor to? [03:00] soreau: It's a hybrid. There are two cards. I use a module to shutdown the nVidia card. [03:00] ! pulseaudio | _Techie_ [03:00] _Techie_: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [03:00] zelozelos: yeah ic ouldnt find anything in nautilus prefs in the actual ui either [03:00] _Techie_: please file a bug report against pulseaudio [03:00] FeasibilityStudy: On my system, under the system->Preferences menu there (near the bottom) is an option for startup applications that you can set that stuff. [03:01] soreau: No, I have only one VGA port on my laptop, but inside I have twio grpahic cards. [03:01] *teo [03:01] *two [03:01] please? I've been in windows for 3 minutes now and it's turning my stomach [03:01] realubot: If you are using the intel care, pastebin the output of xrandr from your terminal to pastebin.org [03:01] theGman: I am on kubuntu, so I guess we get screwed [03:01] card* [03:01] _Techie_: just as a note, it's very probable that your symptom is actually broken sound drivers and not broken pulseaudio [03:01] soreau: Ok, I'll. [03:01] _Techie_: install pulse audio volume control [03:01] looks like it might be linked to gvfs [03:01] FeasibilityStudy: Possibly. :P [03:01] has anyone been having trouble in lucid with gwibber and twitter accounts? [03:01] <_Techie_> crimsun, i already know its a problem to do with the drivers [03:01] FeasibilityStudy: Why not ask in #kubuntu? [03:02] _Techie_: do you have a bug report filed that I can look at? [03:02] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/425606/ [03:02] soreau: There you are. [03:02] realubot: now which resolution do you want? [03:02] Just installed Ubuntu 10.04, my Broadcom 4312 will not work, I've tried installing via jockey, via terminal, and compiling from source with suggested modifications. Help! [03:02] Broadcom?? what is it [03:02] i have sound in other apps, but none in flash within mozilla (ie: youtube, etc) anyone know the fix for this? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:02] winXPuser, Wifi card. [03:02] <_Techie_> crimsun, no, however i can get you any information you want if you think it would make you happy [03:02] soreau: I can only use the 1024x768 resolution, no higher resolutions are avaiable. [03:03] FeasibilityStudy, system services like app armor, or user apps like kopete? [03:03] Barridus, sure, tools, addons, plugins, check for updates button [03:03] ubotu: the first line o thepage you suggested pretty well explains it all "This page is not really written for people who are new, or relatively new to Ubuntu, and Linux" also it seems to all relate to add on cams rather than theinbuilt thing. Any more ideas? [03:03] Barridus, make sure that your flash plugin is up to date [03:03] _Techie_: at this point, it would be most helpful to use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base" so that we (the audio dev team) can look at it. [03:03] :)) [03:03] realubot: Which screen do you want to change the resolution? Or both? [03:03] I'm still treading water waiting to see if someone wouldn't mind assisting with a network manager failure to connect my wifi in ubuntu 9.10. :P [03:03] realubot: what resolution do you want is the question [03:04] Barridus: are you on 64-bit and using the 32-bit Flash plugin? [03:04] alright, just installed 10.04, but it doesn't have my wireless card driver installed already, how do i find it and install the correct driver? I don't know what my wireless card is, but I have whatever is the default in Dell Inspiron 1521 [03:04] <^paradox^> i need to know about this anyone. is there any way that setting up a ppa for vlc so i could get the latest version and the libs codecs etc have caused the uprgade from 8.04 to 10.04 to abort? === ganesh is now known as Guest23759 [03:04] any good soul around that can give me a hand? [03:04] crimsun, 32 bit for both [03:04] theGman, Your network manager needs help not connecting? [03:04] * theGman thinks everyone is so excited/wrapped up with 10.4 that us 9.10 guys are forgotten.... ;P [03:04] Barridus: are you using adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-installer? [03:04] soreau: I have a laptop that I use as desktop computer. So I want to get a higher resolution at the external monitor. The resolution using the laptop display is just fine, but not when I connect the computer to an external display. === panix is now known as pani[x] [03:05] ^paradox^: That doesn't make too much sense. Are you saying you've tried an upgrade from 8.04->10.04 and it failed? and is causing some problem? === Guest23759 is now known as lordganesh [03:05] Is there a way to import apple podcasts to Rhythmbox music player [03:05] !ask rodd [03:05] !ask | rodd [03:05] rodd: 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. :-) [03:05] realubot: So when you connect the external monitor, the resolution for the main one drops too? [03:05] The wifi in this computer was working perfectly in Gentoo yesterday, but I managed to bork my Gentoo install and I can't afford the time to re-build it, so I installed Ubuntu... and now I've got a beautiful new system with no wi-fi. It detects the card, but the card doesn't find any wifi networks. [03:05] PythonPup: Nope, it "not connects" perfectly. I need help making it connect. :P Oddly, I'm even trying to conn to a NON secured AP if you can believe that. And it's STILL can't seem to do it! [03:05] undecim: system apps. I am confused because Ubuntu has a mish mash of upstart and rc services. === pani[x] is now known as rAzzOr [03:06] I know how to disable .rc services. [03:06] what is a keyring and why does it pop up when connecting to the wireless network? [03:06] I swear I have to relearn where to make changes to suspend and resume in every release [03:06] soreau: No, the laptopresolution is just fine, the problem is that I can't use a higher resolution than 1024x768 at the external display. [03:06] mcsenna: it's something that stores your passwords [like the wireless wep key] [03:06] realubot: ok sec [03:06] quiescens: what sorts of changes? [03:06] mcsenna, it's a place to store your passwords. It's probably retrieving a wifi key. [03:06] But I am confused about upstart. I asked this question in here a while back and the consensus was "no one knows how to disable upstart services" [03:06] Can someone walk me through step by step on installing mercurial and tortoise hg. I can't seem to get them to work together. [03:06] realubot: You still haven't said what resolution you want for the external monitor though [03:06] FeasibilityStudy: mv the file from /etc/init/ [03:07] realubot: What resolution do you want??? [03:07] theGman, Good, I wondered if you were the pointy haired boss from this week's dilbert about wireless. I don't do wireless a lot, but I'll try and help you, if you have no other offers. [03:07] FeasibilityStudy: keep in mind that doing so may have unintended consequences, so make sure you read the conf files carefully [03:07] Well, like 1680x1050 would be nice, I think. [03:07] crimsun: That's what i am doing.. That's .rc services.. [03:07] soreau: 1680x1050 would be nice. [03:07] crimsun: ones that make it work properly for my silly laptop [03:07] I thinl [03:07] crimsun: But I want to know which services use upstart and which dont [03:07] *think [03:07] hmm, apparently flash isn't installed right, that's why i think. it doesn't show up in the addons screen [03:07] crimsun: Ubuntu is moving away from sysv. [03:07] <^paradox^> soreau: yesterday i tried to upgrade got this error message http://pastebin.com/5e5q4Z71 [03:07] PythonPup: Thx. So far the guys that WERE seem to have dc'd. [03:07] yet it works but no sound [03:07] ok thnsk do I have to have keyring or can I get ridof it [03:07] FeasibilityStudy: eh? /etc/init has only upstart jobs [03:07] plattypus1, have you tried installing ndis-wrapper I think... haven't used wireless in awhile... it may see your card, but firmware for it may not be installed.. I believe the wrapper package will auto get the firmware and install it.. if not, you may need to get the window firmware file and install in the proper place [03:08] crimsun: Does Ubuntu use sysv-rc at all then? [03:08] theGman, I don't know what dced means. Is that good or bad? [03:08] realubot: Alright, try this command in your terminal: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 [03:08] FeasibilityStudy: only as compatibility, yes [03:08] <^paradox^> soreau: so i talked to a few people in here and decided to wait a couple of months before retrying the upgrade [03:08] PythonPup: I know some, I've had to wrestle with it a few times in the earlier vers of Fedora (my default OS) but this is bizzarre... [03:08] graelin, I'm not terribly interested in using NDISwrapper. The card was working fine with native drivers, in linux, yesterday. [03:08] FeasibilityStudy: if you look at /etc/init.d, you'll notice the symlinks to /lib/init/upstart-job [03:08] PythonPup: dc'd = diconnected. [03:08] crimsun: see that's what confuses me. if i use a tool like sysv-rc-conf, i can remove services, but they are still there at boot because sysv-rc does not know how to handle upstart === homer is now known as Guest17521 [03:08] FeasibilityStudy: that should be a good starting point. [03:09] soreau: I use the default driver in Ubuntu 10.04 because the proprietary driver Ubuntu wants to install is the nvidia driver and I don't use that card really since I have shutdown the nVidia card using the internal graphics card instead. [03:09] ^paradox^: My recommendation to you is to download a Lucid image and use it to perform aclean installation [03:09] a clean* [03:09] techzg: http://picklemonkey.net/flipper/convert.php?feed= [03:09] what's the easiest way to reinstall flash? [03:09] quiescens: but what sort? video? keypress/release? [03:09] soreau: Well, that worked! [03:09] realubot: I don't blame you.. [03:10] soreau: What do you mean? [03:10] PythonPup: Sorry, throw an "s" after the "di" in that last post. :P (SHEESH! ny typing sucks tonight!) [03:10] <^paradox^> soreau: a friend thinks that installing a ppa for vlc so i could the latest version and its codecs libs etc mightve aborted the upgrade. is that possible? [03:10] GAH! [03:10] theGman, Can we go to a pm channel? === b0w is now known as zz_b0w [03:10] realubot: I'm not sure why it didn't work through gnome-display-properties but anyway.. glad it worked for you [03:10] i've install Doom3 on a external HD and format/installed 10.04 on primary HD how do i make a symbolic link to the Doom3 game [03:10] how do I determine what wireless card I have built in? [03:10] soreau: Ok, me too. But why did this trick work then? [03:10] My computer won't play mp3s [03:10] Crayboff: built-in? usually see lspci -v [03:10] ^paradox^: I have no idea and it sounds like a long stretch for wasted time IMHO [03:11] ^paradox^: clean fresh installation FTW [03:11] I keep getting error that the mp3 is too large, and its only a few megs [03:11] where can i buy Ubuntu DVD's?

[03:11] if i was to use the terminal to open nautilus to a specific location say /home/user/Desktop, what would i type exactly? [03:11] ! cd [03:11] I am trying to install gnome-inform7_5Z71-0ubuntu2_i386.deb from inform7.com, which depends on libossp-uuid15. However, after upgrading to Lucid, this dependency is no longer satisfiable. I do appear to have libossp-uuid16 installed. Is there any way I can either force it to use that or to install the old one? [03:12] ah alright thanks, now do any of you know how i can get a driver for my wireless card? and how would i go about installing said driver [03:12] Zelozelos: nautilus /home/user/Desktop [03:12] ^paradox^, I downloaded the iso burnt into a cd > added the cd to source.list > updated > and did an upgrade koala to Lucid > and worked like a charm > :-) [03:12] crimsun: don't know for sure yet, its a little bit odd, first suspend/resume works fine, the second suspend flickers a bit before suspending, resumes to a black screen and requires me to switch to a console and back and breaks compiz, 3rd suspend/resume works, 4th doesn't etc [03:12] Zelozelos: nautilus /desired/path [03:12] Briareos|9: thanks! works ::) [03:12] !purchase [03:12] which website should i buy ubuntu dvd's from? [03:12] i just rebooted after a dist upgrade to 10.04, and i can't reboot. there is maybe two issues, i don't know which is causing it. in the terminal where it stops, that's on alt-f7 it says init: plymouth main process (1593) killed by SEGV signal and init: plymouth-splash main process (2638) terminated with status 2 [03:12] FF dies, soon after reboot acd system freeze. WTF? I gave up on this and was bandaging but not again! Ubuntu-9.10 [03:12] crimsun: i'm just trying to work out where to start looking for what the issue is [03:12] quiescens: ok, so video? Can you reproduce it with a kernel kernel, say, mainline 2.6.34-rc6? [03:12] on another terminal there is an udevd init message that's almost the same [03:12] zelozelos: nautilus ~/Desktop [03:12] techzg: great!

[03:31] Hi all! I've been having an issue with Ubuntu since at least version 8.10, and that is that when I suspend the computer (standby), the screen darkens, disks spin down, everything shuts off other than the main power supply fan. After that point, the power button has *no* effect, and I have to press and hold the button to power down the computer completely, then start up again. Very inconvienent. What can I do about this?

[03:37] narselon: It seems like a lot of people are having problems with this card.

[03:39] Lasivian, you may just have to create the xorg.conf file to get it work [03:39] tachiro: You can try XMMS, if you like Winamp.

[03:41] Lasivian, well device hacking is never easy ;) [03:41] Are the ubuntu devs solving Ctrl+Alt+F1(F2 etc...) issue in Lucid? Is that a bug? [03:41] well i'll check synaptic for xmms. now foobar you mentioned i'll need wine.... man i tried run jet audio with wine and, it acts like i'm accessing the program from some distant location.. so i can't seem to get it to associate with mp3 when i double click them. it just kinda opens and sits there [03:42] EvaZq: yes it has a green check under it [03:42] trism: yeah, thanks trism, it's seems i need to get in gconf-editor, i think it should working when i'll reboot [03:42] orion_X11_, itsnot abug [03:42] orion_X11_, its a feature :D === cpg is now known as cpg|away [03:42] narselon: Do you see the wireless icon change, or did you just lose connectivity?

[03:43] oit [03:43] ot [03:43] tachiro: Eh, wine adds a real layer of complexity. it maps a directory (say /home/username/.wine/c-drive) to C:\. If you MP#'s are not in that dir, it can't play it. [03:43] By the way, just a bit of an update - apparently Deep Burner (Currently having to burn from a Windows machine) will only burn the DVD at 2x. Is it possible that an alternate DVD might provide a workaround? [03:43] how can i rescue my installation? i have a finnix live-cd, and i need to compile in a kernel option or get a standard ubuntu kernel to reboot. [03:43] but the live-cd has no make/compiler [03:43] trism: thanks, i think it'll remove the sound [03:43] narselon: Okay, probably a wireless level issue then. I would definitely look into the BIOS option and Wicd, if I were you. [03:43] *MP3* [03:44] Anyone had some luck with the a76c50x wireless driver with 10.04? at76_usb was working with the previous kernel but at76c50x doesn't seem to authenticate properly. [03:44] ok i dialed it down even further, it seems that gnome-do is the culprit, it handles gnome's bookmarks, i figd this out because i cannot even drag a location to the panel, it has the same error, no program registerd to handle this [03:44] will do. Again, thanks for attempting to help. [03:44] so can i sudo apt-get purge gnome-do then reinstall it? do you think that may repair it? [03:44] raspe [03:45] orion_X11_, admittedly its fast becomming an ancient relic, but ubuntu has many ttys on which you can run multiple x's which you can attach to different monitors. But i guess it will go the way of the dodo just like ctrl-alt-{ESC,backspace} [03:45] Yo. Is there a way to hide the tab bar in Gnome Terminal?

Unfortunately, every new version they hide things and cut config options :-) [03:48] ugh - i need to figure out how to set these two options i used to boot the live cd and i don't remember how [03:48] where do i find the .config folder? [03:48] mdadm was seen by the i386 alternate CD, and the partitions were made properly, but when I rebooted, they seem to have disappeared -- /proc/mdstat shows nothing. I fear that when I reboot again, it will be broken, and I'll have wasted another four hours. [03:48] orion_X11_, i dont mind easy defaults that just work, grunt work on linux and windows doesnt happen via guis [03:48] Zelozelos: Deleting the directory is what I would do if I was having problems with Do.

[03:49] thank you undecim ill give it a go i guess, not sure what all ill be loosing however [03:49] orion_X11_, and tbh i havent had to use any form of three finger salutes to kill the system, x or x program in recent years, so its not all bad [03:49] for the output of "lspci -v", "Network controller" is my wireless card? [03:49] Zelozelos: to see any files that start with ".", you need to press Ctrl + H in the file manager, or use the "-a" option with ls if you are in the terminal [03:49] i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and i want to know if my video card was propietly detected ????? [03:49] EvaZq, why would it not be? [03:50] undecim, thank you, i usually just goto view, view hidden files in nautilus ;) [03:50] EvaZq, having trouble with resolution still? [03:50] WOW!!! this is a big channel - this is my first time on ubuntu - im adding a ubuntu box to my lineup. on redhat boxes there is rpm -qa to list all installed pkges to the console so i can do things like rpm -qa | grep pkgname. what is the ubuntu equivilent? [03:50] EvaZq: Better question, what video card do you use? [03:50] Zelozelos: Also, rename the directories or leave them in the trash instead of deleting them. You can try one directory at a time and see if it fixes whatever issues you are having. [03:50] Hey. I installed some kde packages a little while ago, so I could try loading the ubuntu kde desktop, but now I have found that there seem to be some kde features sort of mixed in with my gnome desktop, such as the cursor, and the spinning balls, and other stuff like that. Just wondering if there is a way to keep this mixing seperate, and still have both optinos available at boot [03:50] taroven intel gma 4500m [03:50] undecim, good idea, thank you again [03:51] acicula, I have ubuntu in my laptop and debian in my pc and becoming upset with ubuntu. I also do not mind ubuntu becoming easy for beginners, but they should have preserve the way of linux does things. [03:51] Hi, what is the difference between fglrx-driver and xorg-fglrx-driver ? [03:51] kronos003: dpkg -l [03:51] kronos003:I like to use `aptitude search pkgname | grep "i "` [03:51] kronos003, apt-get, apt-cache, dpkg-* , not sure what you need to do to get a full list though [03:51] EvaZq: One moment, looking up some info [03:52] undecim, i bet its gonna be local/share ill start there [03:52] How can you convert nautilus breadcrumbs back to text? [03:52] tnkx [03:52] does ubuntu use something other than iptables? [03:52] kronos003, everyone uses iptables [03:52] benji12: I think that fglrx-driver is just a dummy package that requires xorg-fglrx-driver [03:52] kronos003: It doesn't? [03:52] dpkg --get-selections kronos003 [03:52] kronos003, it uses ufw to wrap the firewall managment [03:52] undecim, hm ok thanks [03:53] k -l might be better [03:53] one second - im going to ssh into the box - the framebuffer on my vm is PAINFULL [03:53] no i dont have resolution problemss [03:54] I have a ATI radeon HD 4670, I successfully installed the proprietary driver but I do not have 3D acceleration. What are the steps to debug that? [03:54] EvaZq: What exactly is the problem then? [03:54] Flynsarmy: I think I might be confused in the terminology, but you want to be able to type in a location, or copy your current location to the clipboard? [03:54] orion_X11_, well i never liked debian much, it was too archaic and just as much work as gentoo was(pre2006) switched and never looked back [03:54] taroven i can send you a youtube video that shows the problem [03:54] please wait [03:55] Flynsarmy: ctrl+l [03:55] undecim, in 9.10 and earlier the breadcrumb buttons at the top (the current path) could be set to always display as a text path instead...in 10.04 they removed this option [03:55] taroven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSPS7y6MCXc here you have that is my problem, not the scan lines the glitch [03:55] trism, that only works once. if you change directories it goes back to the buttons [03:55] hmm, another angle, is there a way for me to look at system events in a log or something? maybe i can dial it down some more that way [03:55] Flynsarmy: You can use Go -> Location or press Ctrl + L [03:56] you dont have to hit ctrl l, just hit / ;) [03:56] ok fresh install of lucid, the nouveau driver seems to have no vertcal hold on my tv (1080p plasma) via svideo, so I decided to install the properitary nvidia driver but it cannot write to xorg.conf since it is not there [03:56] Flynsarmy: I suspect there may be a gconf option that can put that button back... [03:56] undecim, yea i was looking but didn't find one [03:56] Zelozelos: You can use System-->Administration-->Log file viewer [03:56] really really need tv out [03:56] whats the command for finding what graphics driver is in use? [03:56] Flynsarmy: there is an always_use_location entry in gconf, under /apps/nautilus/preferences [03:56] orion_X11_, having said that i suppose ubuntu could do with a bit more consistency [03:57] trism, aha, perfect. thanks! [03:57] yesterday downloaded 10.04 x386 version - from ubuntu.com. i could not write that to a CD - since it was in .zip format. Is this really an .iso file format. Need your help [03:57] acicula, Well I like debian very much. For me that is the best, but it is my opinion although I respect yours and do not want to fight over linux distributions :-) [03:57] taroven what do you think ? [03:57] EvaZq: Afraid I won't be of much help there, sorry. I'm pretty decent with general hardware issues, but something like that is probably beyond what I have experience. [03:57] Is there anyone who's working on the RAID problems? I'd like to file a it-affects-me bug report update. [03:57] o i see [03:57] thanks for your help [03:57] anyone know why I wouldnt have permission to extract files to file:///usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? [03:58] hey guys xD, it's no-ip safe to use ? [03:58] orion_X11_, debian has a philosophy that works really well + apt == win. [03:58] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all, minor issue I could use a hand with. I upgraded 9.10 to 10.04 and have lost my volume icon in the notification area that I had on my gnome panel. Can't seem to find where to add it back. Anyone got a quick tip for me? [03:58] if i was to save this log could someone take a look at it and find any changes related to the file associated with the bookmarks? [03:58] Raspe, did you sudo? [03:58] Raspe: write access to /usr/... is restricted. Use sudo. [03:58] Raspe: because it is not in your home, its in /usr. use sudo [03:58] has anyone had luck installing the nvidia binary driver in 10.04? [03:58] [TK]D-Fender: add the indicator applet to your panel, and you should see it === asdlgfj is now known as engteacher [03:58] yesterday downloaded 10.04 x386 version - from ubuntu.com. i could not write that to a CD - since it was in .zip format. Is this really an .iso file format. Need your help [03:58] whats the command for finding what graphics driver is in use? [03:58] taroven: I'm brand new to linux and I don't know what sudo is [03:59] i'm trying to automount a secondary hdd that is ntfs... i know i have to mess with fstab but i am a noob and have never done so.. where do i begin? [03:59] i will explain it to you [03:59] raspe [03:59] OxDeadC0de: Yep, about twenty minutes ago. Had to reboot for it to work though, restarting X didn't work. [03:59] how come office spreadsheet "greys" out when I try to paste from firefox off a java/xml page it then crashes after attemtpting any pastes [03:59] !sudo | Raspe [03:59] Raspe: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [03:59] hello. i have a problem. can you help me? [03:59] what command can i identify which hdd is witch? [04:00] <[TK]D-Fender> trism: Got it... was kinda vauge and sounds just like the indication area... [04:00] karma_police: sudo fdisk -l [04:00] <[TK]D-Fender> trism: thanks a bunch [04:00] on the ubuntu 10.04 LTS vm minimal install does it install a firewall of any kind? [04:00] you know, actually, i have spent more time trying to fix this stupid thing then it would have taken me to reinstall the entire os---again---incl all the changes i made, pgs ive installed and everything [04:00] karlsson, usually disks are mounted under /media/ [04:00] quiver dont ask to ask, just ask... if someone knows they will tell you. [04:00] nobody is using the properitary driver in lucid [04:00] s/karlson/karma_police [04:00] Raspe: TLDR version of what arand linked = You need admin access to write to things outside your home directory, in most cases. If you're coming from Windows Vista or 7, think of it like you're trying to change a file in your Program Files - It doesn't let you without a password. [04:00] taroven: it won't install for me.. dmesg says device not found [04:00] acicula, anyway, I have used debian and ubuntu and I only would like to know if ctrl+alt+f1 is a bug or not :) [04:00] oh ok. thanks. i was being polite, thats all. [04:01] Is there a way to make my mouse move fast in 4.1 [04:01] i did sudo fdisk -l but i don't know which is which.. i cannot see the volume label that way [04:01] 0 [04:01] taroven, well it asks you if its ok to do it [04:01] My lucid update screwed up my computer. [04:01] yep, heh [04:01] OxDeadC0de, what card do you use? [04:01] spat_hero me too haha [04:01] i just though i could make this one a learning expierance since its such a minor technical difficulty, heh, so, im just gonna deal with it for now untill i really mess somehting up, then start all over again rofl [04:01] quiver, its all good. for future... [04:01] came here looking for answers <.< [04:01] karma_police: You can ls -l /dev/disk/by-label [04:01] orion_X11_, dont know, file it on launchpad and see what happens :D? [04:01] whats the command for finding what graphics driver is in use? [04:01] i cant connect to the Internet via wifi, it says im connected but i cant ping, connect etc. Im using my phone to tether internet right now anyone got any ideas? im using Lucid [04:01] taroven: Geforce Go 6150 [04:01] yesterday downloaded 10.04 x386 version - from ubuntu.com. i could not write that to a CD - since it was in .zip format. Is this really an .iso file format. Need your help [04:02] ugh, dist-upgrade crashed and now my system isn't bootable [04:02] karma_police: I would suggest installing pysdm for easier configuring of it. [04:02] Why is ext2 used for boot? Is it just the journal overhead involved with ext4? [04:02] My Lucid update took about 4 hours but seems to be running fine!!! :-) [04:02] Sorry I meant /boot [04:02] !info pysdm | karma_police [04:02] im deff wearing a groove in my ext4 partition muahhhaahaa [04:02] karma_police: pysdm (source: pysdm): Graphical Storage Device Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 28 kB, installed size 292 kB [04:02] taroven: I'm going to try nvidia-current from the repo's instead of the binary installer package [04:02] rcsheets, overhead for small fs yes [04:02] well, i upgraded to lucid lynx, but when i tried to go on to ubuntu, i get this error: 'error: unknown command 'loadfont'. error: file not found'. it then restarts itself. so i could not go into the login screen. [04:02] OxDeadC0de: Prolly a good idea. [04:02] acicula: great. thanks! :) [04:02] ubuntu 10.04 killed my netowrking, both my r8169 ethernet and wifi :/ [04:03] rcsheets, or reversely ext2 > ext3/4, except managing large ext2 is hell [04:03] eeek, Rhythmbox tray icon dont work like karmic D:< [04:03] i have pysdm.. it will mount every volume but the ntfs volume that i am wanting to mount [04:03] Is there a way to remove evolution from the notification thing on the dock? [04:03] OxDeadC0de: Actually, use System->Hardware Drivers first [04:03] is it not the default image is an .iso in 10.04 [04:03] rcsheets, hence we all use ext3/4 because we dont want to wait the entire day for diskchecks to finish [04:03] its /dev/sda1 and it has all my data and music files on it.. i want to automount it upon startup [04:03] taroven: jockey didn't show the nvidia driver for me [04:03] tried clean installing too but no luck...9.10 live cd and installs connect just fine to ethernet [04:03] taroven: (kubuntu) [04:03] so basically i cant go into the login screen at all [04:03] guides I've had to follow so far to fix bugs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1438703 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/atk1.0/+bug/547244 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466696 [04:03] 10.04 just doesn't notice that a cable is plugged in :/ [04:03] anyone able to help me with some wifi issues? [04:04] acicula: fair enough. i was just trying to determine if i'd screwed myself by making my 5GB /boot an ext4 fs, and it sounds like i haven't [04:04] Does anyone have a HP Mini 1000? I need help with the wireless card, i followed all the instructions i found on the fourms but nothing works. [04:04] and some windows networking issues :p [04:04] yesterday downloaded 10.04 x386 version - from ubuntu.com. i could not write that to a CD - since it was in .zip format. Is this really an .iso file format. Need your help [04:04] OxDeadC0de: lspci | grep nVidia [04:04] rcsheets, well you are never going to use that much in a /boot [04:04] coldfire, pastebin (not paste) your lspci -nnk output [04:04] do i need to have something else installed? ntfs-tools or something? i remember having this issue when i had linux mint and can't remember how i figured it out [04:04] rcsheets: 5GB /boot?? I usually make mine under 150MB. [04:04] I tried to update to Lucid, and the update dialog vanished. Went back to the update manager and it said that update from karmic to lucide was not supported. Then the mouse stopped working so I restarted. Now it won't proceed past a certain part of the boot process. I'm stuck. Not even a command prompt. :( [04:04] hi very one [04:04] acicula, PMantis: yeah... it was a mistake. [04:04] taroven: 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce Go 6150] (rev a2) [04:04] Is there a way to remove evolution from the notification thing on the dock? [04:05] karma_police, i think you actually want sda/dev2 not 1, but not sure bout that [04:05] Hi, after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 ..It takes me to terminal , I have to type startx everytime [04:05] if your /boot is more than a gigabyte, as an absolute maximum, there ceases to be a point in having a /boot at all [04:05] rcsheets: Ahh. :) kinda wasteful... [04:05] since the purpose it serves is to deal with cylinder limits on some bioses [04:05] why have a separate /boot partition at all? [04:05] karma_police: if you want something to mount when you boot, add the HDD to /etc/fstab. Thats it. [04:05] can anyone help me on how to install flash player on ubuntu 5.X.X [04:05] Circa 2001, right? [04:05] can anyone help me on how to install flash player on ubuntu 5.X.X [04:05] karma_police: Try using pysdm. Amazing little tool to handle mount issues. [04:05] rcsheets: If you're an advanced user, you can resize the partitions with a GParted boot cd. [04:05] how do i browse videos on a windows server? [04:05] psusi: because some hardware has problems with booting from stuff that's not near the beginning of the disk [04:05] yeah i was thinking i might resize it later [04:05] any computer less than what? 10 years of age? should not have those old cyl limits [04:06] karma_police, mount sda2 and check it out, you prob will only be allowed to access the public folder, esp if theres any encryptions [04:06] do i have to reinstall ubuntu, because i cant go to the login screen? [04:06] i just wasn't sure if grub had some odd problem with ext4 or something [04:06] Hi, after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 ..It takes me to terminal , I have to type startx everytime .GDM is installed.. [04:06] taroven.. i have been using pysdm and it will mount everything but the one i want [04:06] i use a separate /boot on vms to ad netboot images, makes boostrapping via net a bit easier [04:06] psusi: mine has problems like that and is newer than that [04:06] I wish I could re-install ubuntu. I can't even boot after attempting to upgrade to lucid. [04:06] anyone know why i can not run system testing on ubuntu 10.04 ? [04:06] *grumble* I missed an 87-degree satellite pass for this. [04:06] OK, how do I move the X/close buttons to the irght [04:06] right [04:06] karma_police: Doh. Sorry if you'd said that before, hard to keep tabs on everything at once in here. [04:06] most stuff doesn't use the bios, so it doesn't often come up with e.g. windows [04:07] !control | blbrown [04:07] !controls| blbrown [04:07] blbrown: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [04:07] mikebot, did you get your answer? [04:07] karma_police: I'm using this http://pastebin.com/HSuLN7Lw ... You will likely want to change it, but it's an example... [04:07] hi [04:07] hi, how on ubuntu 8.10 64 bit, 2.6.27-14-generic install gspca? [04:08] spat_hero, i think that i have the same problem too [04:08] acicula, is that a common question [04:08] how can i know if the Vesa driver is in use or not? [04:08] hi [04:08] Guts -> ../../sda1 [04:08] quiver, can you boot up to anything? [04:08] marekw2143, 8.10 is outdated and not supported anymore and im not sure what your real question is? [04:08] zetheroo, look at the output from xvinfo. [04:08] blbrown, it comes up every now and then [04:08] no [04:08] how can i look at xcinfo ? [04:08] acicula: i just want to use my camera [04:08] not even to the recovery mode screen or whatever [04:08] xvinfo* [04:09] I am in dependency hell right now. I try to do apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade and I get tons of messages about unmet dependencies [04:09] acicula: and I've read that I need to install gspca [04:09] please tell me how to autostart xscreen .. [04:09] marekw2143, ic, an that doesnt work or? [04:09] EvaZq, Open a terminal window. Type xvinfo. Look at results on screen. [04:09] AngryParsley: does the online documentation for apt-get discuss how to force a dist-upgrade? [04:09] I have to type startx everytime [04:09] there is apt-get dist-degrade? >.< [04:09] PythonPup: cannot see any driver info there ... [04:09] quiver, yeah, something is really messed up. [04:09] AngryParsley: what are you upgrading from? [04:09] Mathuin: beats me. I've just been googling for errors that come up and stumbling through what other people did [04:09] LOving Ubuntu 10.04 [04:09] 9.10 [04:09] hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.com/NiByNPW3 [04:09] ZykoticK9: Hello there [04:09] perberos, nope [04:10] Did you reboot after attempting the upgrade, quiver? [04:10] yeah [04:10] AngryParsley: did you try this method? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:10] upgrade complete 8) [04:10] AngryParsley: sigh, you are me dealing with RAID foo for the past 30 hours or so. [04:10] well there was a problem with the upgrading [04:10] anyone able to help me with some wifi issues? [04:10] plutonium45, sudo service gdm start should do it, but best reinstall gdm to ensure it also starts at boot [04:10] zetheroo, Ther is usually a line that says Adapter #0, or higher numbers. What does it show there? [04:10] What problem? [04:10] h00k: umm yeah and it crashed in the middle [04:10] atomicsunset: Fire away. [04:10] PythonPup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/425633/ [04:11] i cant connect to the Internet via wifi, it says im connected but i cant ping, connect etc. Im using my phone to tether internet right now anyone got any ideas? im using Lucid [04:11] @acicula: gdm is already installed.. [04:11] well the volume control kind of messed up the upgrading [04:11] how do i stop notifications from firefox downloads? [04:11] AngryParsley: try sudo do-release-upgrade [04:11] I did: sudo m-a build gspca and got that: http://pastebin.com/qua5XZqi [04:11] exact error was "trying to overwrite '/usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir', which is also in package gobject-introspection-repository 0:0.6.5-0ubuntu1" [04:11] coldfire, from what I can see you have the driver installed, it should be listed as ethX (X meaning it could be from 0-9 or more) [04:11] to install iptables all i need is apt-get install iptables and it will sort out the rest? and it will load at startup with my chosen saved config? [04:11] h00k: says there's no new release [04:11] plutonium45, can you start it via sudo service gdm start? [04:11] kronos003: Already installed. [04:11] how can i edit grub [04:11] it says im connected with internet but i get 404 errors and cant ping anything [04:11] I did sudo -i [04:11] and started it [04:11] how do i make it stop sreen locking automatuicly? [04:11] like it was installing the upgrades, but while i was asleep, something happened to the volume control, and that messed everything up [04:11] 'lo. [04:11] You got an error message related to volume control? [04:11] zetheroo, You are using an Intel driver, not Vesa. [04:11] Well I got it installed on my EeePC 1005PE. [04:12] atomicsunset, have you checked iwconfig yet? [04:12] it started since the upgrade to lucid... [04:12] patx: it's in your screensaver preferences: System -> Preferences -> Screensaver [04:12] can anyone tell me how can i install something like widows firewall [04:12] thanks [04:12] how do you start the network during boot ASAP so mounting network drives doesn't fail? [04:12] so i restarted, and went to recovery mode, and fix the packages there [04:12] !firewall | ravenkhan [04:12] ravenkhan: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [04:12] !grub [04:12] 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. [04:12] hatake_kakashi: it will not see any hotspots [04:12] acicula: I did: sudo m-a build gspca and got that: http://pastebin.com/qua5XZqi [04:12] taroven, im very ignorant to linux like a majority of us [04:12] then after that, yeah... [04:12] jpds: its a vm bare minimum install - apparently ubuntu REALLY means it when they say minimal [04:12] PythonPup: ok ... so if i am using the correct driver ... why is desktop effects not working ... hmmm [04:12] AngryParsley: I'm not sure, but stick around or check the forums, I'm sure someone will know [04:12] @ravenkhan: you can make use of IPtables, I had used SNORT some time ago.. [04:13] Hey all - looks like the default IM client is having issues connecting to AIM's login server... [04:13] spat_hero, are you dualbooting? [04:13] For Lucid, fresh install [04:13] im willing to learn, hence why im runnin ubuntu and here:P [04:13] Nope. [04:13] coldfire, check dmesg for info, if need be pastebin it [04:13] Are you? [04:13] Anyone else experiencing this? [04:13] atomicsunset: No worries. Open up a terminal (alt-f2, gnome-terminal), type 'iwconfig' without the quotes. [04:13] What chipset do you have? I understand there are problems on some Intel Chipsets. [04:13] yeah [04:13] h00k: yes, I've been doing that. today I tried upgrading my netbook and my media box to 10.04. both have failed miserably [04:13] There's been some problems with that. [04:13] zetheroo, What chipset do you have? I understand there are problems on some Intel Chipsets. [04:13] AngryParsley: That is less than optimal :( [04:13] Hello, I am using Gnome-Do on Ubuntu. It works fine, except I notice that some icons (Such as the Ubuntu Software Center in Lucid), or some other icons, are extremely pixelated, because Gnome-Do is displaying an icon that is too small to have good quality. Can anyone instruct a linux-noob on how to change an icon to eliminate this problem? [04:13] plutonium45: can u please explain me that [04:14] marekw2143, you are trying to build kernel module, it seems that its already integrated in newer kernels, so just upgrading to a newer ubuntu would sort that? [04:14] http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/357631/ubuntu-10-04-launches-after-major-bug-squash [04:14] PythonPup: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [04:14] i have a red pepper flake stuck between my teeth :( [04:14] PythonPup: was working great in Karmic and Jaunty [04:14] wow...that must really sucks, that you cant access ubuntu at all, spat_hero [04:14] http://www.snort.org/-- uses IPTables [04:14] atomicsunset: That's your general check to make sure that you've got a healthy connection to the network. Use 'ifconfig' next to see the status of the internet connection itself. [04:14] on my netbook I just wiped the ubuntu partition and used windows. I'm done [04:14] :( [04:14] what command is it to update my 9.10 net book remix to the new 10.04 netbook remix [04:14] Oh, yeah. It just halts. I'm lucky to have multiple computers in the house. [04:14] I don't dare try to upgrade any others. [04:14] says im connected but im not [04:14] asd [04:15] REMIX: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:15] haha. thats good thinking [04:15] @REMIX: why don't you do it from update manager ? [04:15] !upgrade | REMIX [04:15] REMIX: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:15] erg. i didnt back up my personal data to an external [04:15] Is flash available for 64 bit? [04:15] REMIX: DON'T try to upgrade to lucid. It's not working right. [04:15] PythonPup: and the driver info in Synaptic says its for the 965 chipset ... so it's the right driver ... no!? [04:15] @REMIX: btw you can try apt-get dist-upgrade [04:15] Jacen, yes [04:15] Upgrade, that is. [04:15] zetheroo, That can happen. I had some Intel 815 based systems that worked in Jaunty. When I upgraded to Karmic, they lo longer could start x. The video driver supplied at that time did not work. It was fixed a little later, [04:16] plutonium45: You’ve reached this page because you’ve clicked on a link that does not exist. [04:16] thanks maxxist....any chance I can get a walkthru? [04:16] Jacen, adobe has a beta 64bit linux version. [04:16] REMIX: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades [04:16] Xel-: I just noticed the same problem with empathy being unable to login. [04:16] Jacen, tons of em on google... [04:16] k thanks [04:16] atomicsunset: Does ifconfig show you as having an IP address? [04:16] thx [04:16] acicula: maybe, but I just have many programs intalled on current installation (postgres, ssh keys, nginx etc), and would like not to install it and configure once more [04:16] PythonPup: so even though I am using the correct driver for this chipset it still not technically "right" ... hehe ... love it ... :P [04:16] taroven: it should.. [04:16] switch10: Occam's razor. =P [04:17] apt-get snort will install it [04:17] I actually chose 32bit for my 64bit-capable machine because much of the software I want to use is 32bit. :-( Maybe next year. [04:17] quit [04:17] zetheroo, It sounds like it is the right driver. The driver may have a bug, like I saw. I switched my system to VESA and ran that way for a couple of weeks until the problem was fixed. Did you find something? [04:17] so have you guys encountered this error after upgrading: "error: unknown command 'loadfont'"? [04:17] spat_hero: its not working right?? alot of bugs still? [04:17] REMIX, its fine [04:17] Mathuin - Think AOL did the old block-eroo again? [04:17] today has been a ridiculous amount of failure for me. netbook upgrade? failed, gave up. server upgrade? failed, still trying. tried to get a mighty mouse at the apple store and it was *closed* at 3:30PM because of the ipad launch. those apple guys really didn't want to take my money [04:18] anyone heard when the 10.04 LTS respin is due out? [04:18] marekw2143, understood, but given that 8.10 is not maintained anymore you will have to switch at some point [04:18] anon^_^, its out [04:18] Jacen, http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/install-64-bit-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-904/ [04:18] @AngryParsley --- sorry to hear. [04:18] Mathuin: That's what I hate about 64bit... we're forced into 32bit anyway 90% of the time. [04:18] Can we get a updated torrent? [04:18] Xel-: either that, or the latest version of empathy somehow included the old magic. [04:18] PythonPup: nothing so far .. pretty disappointed though ... oh well .. [04:18] why don't you install ia32-libs on 64 bit machine and use 64 bit OS ? [04:18] Maxxist, you rule :P [04:18] i just installed lucid (install not upgrade) and now i cannot start evolution.. it just hangs and i have to force quit it.. anyone else experience this.. When starting it from terminal i am getting no errors [04:18] taroven: it's a catch-22. can't run 64 until apps are there, apps won't get there until people can run it. [04:18] Ubuntu's been getting better and better. and faster, too. [04:18] Nice. [04:18] pdtpatri1k: at least my 23andme kit came today [04:18] Mathuin - sort of seems bad that the default IM client can't connect to AIM... [04:19] that does seem a little bad [04:19] acicula I'm talking about a respin of i386, and amd64, also dvd's. respin is to address a critical bug found with grub2 [04:19] Xel-: I have 80 friends on google chat and 2 on AIM, so I'm not _totally_ woried. [04:19] PythonPup: maybe i can get the latest drivers straight from Intel [04:19] Mathuin: Funny thing is, most processors made in the last 5 years are capable and quite happy to run 64bit. [04:19] Anyone care to help us with a little device problem? [04:19] anon^_^, im aware of what you are talking about [04:19] We're trying to get the UUID for a PSP, but UUID isn't detecting the device. [04:19] anon^_^: link? [04:19] http://pastebin.com/kFjKB452 [04:19] anon^_^, the respin was done yesterday [04:19] Mathuin, I only use AIM. [04:19] We can mount it, though. [04:19] taroven: except netbooks, that does seem to be the case at least with my gear. [04:19] anon^_^: it was fixed on the release day... [04:19] anon^_^, for the dvd and i386/amd iso's [04:19] so the respin was done before the final images went live? [04:19] of course knowing my luck the report will say "sorry you gave us retarded monkey DNA" [04:19] anon^_^: that was fixed and respun before it was released. [04:19] hey guys! this probably is not an ubuntu issue, but anyone know why my laptop hard-drive started making that "working" sound when the comp is loaded or working? [04:19] is apt-get update the same as yum update [04:19] or after [04:19] anon^_^: yes [04:19] is anyone using ubuntu with toshiba? [04:19] Mathuin: Silly low-power processors. [04:19] anon^_^: before it went live [04:19] @Angry -- its always good when one thing works for you. I had a rough day as well. Got wacked pretty good in the stock market. Ubuntu should have a stock ticker haha.. i'll invest :) [04:20] anon^_^, already addressed and fixed [04:20] heh [04:20] ah, interesting [04:20] thanks === \home\tanner is now known as TannerF [04:20] hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.com/kFjKB452 [04:20] taroven: battery life is for losers. :-) [04:20] anyone know how to configure nolapic and nomodeset on boot after a fresh install [04:20] kronos003, yes [04:20] can anyone help me that if i do suspend then my system still consumes same power as in general. what should i do so that it uses power just to keep ram alive. [04:21] zetheroo, That could work. [04:21] progre55: Hard drive noise is common stuff (unless you're running a SSD drive, in which case I'd be worried...). I wouldn't worry about it unless it's constant. [04:21] Can anyone assist me in changing the icon of a program? (Ubuntu Software Center) [04:21] heya.. got 9.10 and trying to upgrade to 10.04 via cdrom.. but when i try it doesn't do anything. no screen no details. help? [04:21] if anyone is using ubuntu on toshiba, does anyone know why the volume toggle on the laptop messes everything up? [04:21] pokeh: you're trying to change the icon in the Software Center itself? [04:21] <_Tristan> synaptic/update manager/apt should have an option to torrent packages. That'd be cool. [04:21] ravenkhan: Hibernate instead. [04:22] there was something on reddit about a "brain wave" sound program. Does anyone remember what that was? [04:22] pokeh: isn't that done through Main Menu, which is under System > whatever-is-not-Preferences ? [04:22] taroven: hmm.. how do I find out my drive type? =) [04:22] quiver, update ur bios [04:22] Has anyone ever seen this issue before? http://www.youecho.com/nvidia-blue.png [04:22] taroven: i dont want to hibernate [04:22] drugal or something [04:22] blbrown: you mean some sort of binaural recording? [04:22] coldfire, hmm eth0 is your wireless, so sudo iwlist eth0 scanning yields nothing? [04:22] progre55, thats easy [04:22] taroven: it's sda [04:22] mortal [04:22] AngryParsley, yea [04:22] oops, sorry wrong window [04:22] h00k: I'm trying to change it because it is too small (and hence pixelated and bad-looking) with my Dock, Gnome-Do. So I need to change the icon to fix this. [04:22] i run this and nothing happens it seems: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" === lresende_ is now known as lresende [04:22] taroven: i want something like standby as we have in windows [04:22] probot, is it a netbook ie small, or are your rich? [04:22] taroven, acicula: just ran /mount [04:22] I mean, mount [04:22] ugh this is getting frustrating [04:23] progre55: If you can hear it, it's a standard platter drive. [04:23] pokeh, Go to System/Preferences/Main Menu. You can change icons there. [04:23] pokeh: drag the launcher to the desktop, you can change the icon from there, and drag it down to docky [04:23] <_Tristan> ryankrizan: yes, but it got better when I sobered up. [04:23] munz, if i update my bios, then would the volume slider work with ubuntu? [04:23] blbrown: gnaural you mean? [04:23] heeeeeelp? [04:23] demonotaku, Many perople would consider it an honor to frustrate a demon. [04:23] taroven, sound/vibration is a good check, but unless its asmall netbook, or a very xpensive one it will not have an ssd [04:23] Well I'm out. Hopefully Empathy will get patched to resolve that issue. [04:23] #kubuntu [04:23] blbrown: can't help you besides http://www.reddit.com/search?q=binaural&sort=top&t=all [04:23] taroven, acicula: so do you mean there is nothing to worry about if my harddisk is making noises? ) but it's a damn new sony vaio computer, bought 3 weeks ago.. [04:24] progre55, well depends on the kind of noise i guess [04:24] how can i switch betwen channels [04:24] http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/09/top-things-to-do-after-installing.html [04:24] progre55: it's most likely fine. hard drives are mechanical devices. now if it suddenly starts making a new, louder sound, that would be bad [04:24] AngryParsley, here we go. http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/09/top-things-to-do-after-installing.html [04:24] i0m using mIRC [04:24] quiver, possibly, my volume on one ltop didnt work, on the other buggy, both toshibas....great ltops but bios first rev is buggy most of the time [04:25] Well considering I had to get my 4 year old Alienware ALX machine up on 10.4 but i can only boot from the CD via the noLapic and NoModeset command [04:25] can anyone help me that if i do suspend then my system still consumes same power as in general. what should i do so that it uses power just to keep ram alive. [04:25] if i run it form the shell i get told ... sh: Can't open /cdrom/cdromupgrade [04:25] hatake_kakashi: eth0 interface does not support scanning [04:25] _Tristan, I wish that were the case. [04:25] I do wish it was possible to build a USB boot stick that would run enough DOS to let me flash the BIOS. Grr. [04:25] but /cdrom is mounted and browsable [04:25] ah i see [04:25] progre55: If the disk is thrashing nonstop when you're doing nothing at all, I'd look into it. If you're just noticing it while the computer's booting up, that's normal and nothing to be concerned with. [04:25] cdromupgrade however doesnt exist [04:25] <_Tristan> ryankrizan: just tell your camera to lay off the mushkins. [04:25] Mathuin, you can [04:25] has anyone figured out how to upgrade when that file isn't there? why is it even missing??? [04:25] damn, too bad it's not possible to simulate a sound in text =) [04:25] Mathuin: Have you tried FreeDOS? [04:25] _Tristan, Unfortunately, it's not the camera. [04:26] Mathuin, some vendors will provide you with a cdimage though [04:26] Mathuin that sounds pretty simple... have you even tried it? [04:26] Mathuin: or you can download a DOS bootdisk and use memdisk [04:26] burn, inser and wait [04:26] <_Tristan> ryankrizan: you too? Shame shame. [04:26] taroven, acicula, AngryParsley: well, thanks guys, appreciate the advises =) [04:26] this just saved a few questions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromLinux/%20RedHatEnterpriseLinuxAndFedora - my hat is off to whomever wrote it [04:26] jmigel: I looked on bootdisk.com where I used to go, and they now charge -- silly. [04:26] progre55: if you want to dramatically increase the performance of your laptop, get an SSD [04:26] (it also gets rid of the hard drive sound) [04:26] acicula: the Shuttle folks only offer .bin's and awdflash.zip :-( [04:26] can anyone help me that if i do suspend then my system still consumes same power as in general. what should i do so that it uses power just to keep ram alive. [04:26] I recommend the intel x-25m [04:26] how can i configure nolapic and nomodeset to be default [04:27] AngryParsley: is that some kind of a hard-disk type? [04:27] anyone have issues with gma 4500m video cards? [04:27] coldfire, check that eth0 is actually wireless, iwconfig [04:27] progre55: it uses flash memory instead of a spinning metal platter to store your data [04:27] munz, the latest bios update is 3.30, and that was last year [04:27] kronos003, the last paragraph is dated [04:27] heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp pls [04:27] it's solid state so it makes no noise, and the read/write latency is practically nonexistent compared to a hard drive [04:27] AngryParsley: oh I see.. then I assume it costs a fortune =) [04:27] so who else is pumped for Valve releasing steam and the source engine on linux [04:27] *hard disk drive [04:27] kronos003, its service start/stop/restart/dieinafire [04:28] progre55: it's pricey, but worth it IMO. the 80GB x25-m is probably under $300 now [04:28] Hi, i want to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 but upgrade button is not visible in the update manager [04:28] hello [04:28] x-25 80gb can be found for $200 [04:28] hatake_kakashi: iwconfig only lists lo and eth1 [04:28] can anyone help me that if i do suspend then my system still consumes same power as in general. what should i do so that it uses power just to keep ram alive. [04:28] considering a decent laptop costs around $1200, it's not a bad deal [04:28] acicula: service dieinafire is an option? [04:28] hey can anyone tell me the difference between pppoe(ppp over ethernet) and pppoa(ppp over atm) [04:28] possibly a little less [04:28] quiver, not sure then, worked w/both of mine....is urs 3.30? [04:28] anon^_^: I'll only be excited about the steam linux if the apps I paid for on my steam account work on linux. :-) [04:28] kronos003, iwish :D [04:28] coldfire, does eth1 have wireless extensions? [04:28] AngryParsley: let me check some online Swedish stores then ) [04:28] anon^_^: amazon has it for $220 [04:28] dca: Head to a terminal. sudo apt-get update -> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:29] so I guess they have gone down in price [04:29] I bought mine in march of 2009 for $350 [04:29] it was totally worth it [04:29] AngryParsley, i doubt that many people will spend 1200 on a laptop tbh [04:29] and whoever suggested FreeDOS, thanks! Looks like they have everything I'll need. [04:29] taroven: help [04:29] acicula: $1200 is the base model macbook pro [04:29] acicula: in fedora its killall -KILL [04:29] taroven, Thanks [04:29] munz, how can i check on that? im sure that i updated the bios last year. [04:29] hatake_kakashi: how do i fing that out? [04:29] how do you regenerate the thumbnail on an individual file? [04:29] Mathuin, Valve has already stated that if you bought a game for Windows, your license will apply to MacOSX, so the same policy should apply when steam and source based games are released on linux [04:29] no one knows? [04:29] AngryParsley, thats hardly a baseline for what everyone buys [04:29] demonotaku, what was the question? [04:29] coldfire, iwconfig eth1| wc -l [04:29] anon^_^: believe it when I get to play Portal again. :-) [04:29] AngryParsley, campus !=the world ;) [04:30] kronos003, its the same on ubuntu [04:30] taroven: help? [04:30] taroven, I will try it out now.. no need to take any backup , right? [04:30] How can i configure nolapic and nomodeset to be the default boot option in grub2.0 [04:30] hatake_kakashi: 4 [04:30] ravenkhan, is this your first Ubuntu install on that computer? [04:30] acicula: hmm? the majority of people in the crowd at OSCON last year had macs [04:30] ravenkhan: If not, has standby had different results in the past? [04:31] Ubuntu noob here - I just installed Lucid Lynx and I'm having trouble with typing Hangul (Korean). I am using IBus and have the Input Method set to Hangul, but when I type it stills comes up in English. ANy ideas? [04:31] coldfire, hmm ok, so sudo iwlist eth1 scanning === homer is now known as Guest54651 [04:31] AngryParsley: 80Gb - 180eur, 160Gb - 365eur [04:31] demonotaku, You should just be able to add them to the end of the kernel lines in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. How to make it "automagic" on future kernel updates, I don't know. [04:31] Dunkirk, try editing /etc/default/grub [04:31] JNGodbout: There are local channels, I would assume they're likelier to know. [04:32] AngryParsley, unless people who visit oscon are a nice crossection of society as a whole that fact is statistically insignificant [04:32] dca: i suggest you dont upgrade instead download image on 10.04 so in future you can install anytime. but in upgradation it will take same time to download but you can use this 10.04 only once. Anything goes wrong in future you will still have to use image. [04:32] there's only one conference I've seen that didn't have a majority of macs: DEF CON [04:32] demonotaku: Try this: http://blog.cyril-ravat.fr/post/2009/10/25/Ubuntu-karmic-freeze-on-Asus-M2n [04:32] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade showing 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. i want to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 [04:32] quiver, not sure, depends on model, may say on bios splash screen [04:32] so how do you fix the icons so they're on the right, rather than left [04:32] !kr | JNGodbout [04:32] arand: Oh, thank you [04:32] AngryParsley, that just says that well payed tech geeks like apple computers [04:32] this is fucken useless [04:32] is there an issue with linux RAID in 10.04? After the install completes, I can't get it to boot up with it saying "degraded RAID" [04:32] PythonPup, Ah. Cool. Thanks. [04:32] can any help to install javabridge [04:32] JNGodbout: try shift + ctrl + space [04:32] AngryParsley, wich i would say is true [04:32] PHP javabridge [04:32] How do I copy the home folder on a remote computer to this computer? [04:32] demonotaku: Just make sure you read up on what you're doing, doing things to Grub without thinking can lead to huge headaches. [04:32] !ko | JNGodbout [04:32] JNGodbout: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [04:32] acicula: I don't care what the majority of all people use. I care about what smart/wealthy/technically-inclined people use [04:32] joshthecoder: I had that same problem, and when I rebooted a second time, I lost the entire thing. :-( [04:32] hatake_kakashi: failed to read scan data: invalid argument [04:32] all drives are working fine, so no clue what the issue is [04:32] munz, ah i see. well im going to check. brb [04:32] taroven - my pc boots from the cd with this option [04:33] the most popular car in the US is the ford F-150. I'm definitely not going to buy one of those any time soon :) [04:33] PythonPup, I don't have one. Should I? How do I see what should go in there? [04:33] taroven: yes [04:33] coldfire, hmm, probably an issue with wl driver [04:33] !ot [04:33] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [04:33] ah, yes [04:33] taroven: this is only install of ubuntu under windows [04:33] Dunkirk, Are you using grub2? If so, it should be there. [04:33] ravenkhan, even i am not able to upgrade directly [04:33] hatake_kakashi: what should i do? any suggestions? [04:33] PythonPup, Bingo. I'm not. I'm on fake raid, and stuck on grub 1. [04:33] so how do you fix the icons so they're on the right, rather than left [04:34] AngryParsley, well thats nice, but your personal preferences hardly factor into an argument of what an average consumer would buy, anyway stopping since ot [04:34] Hello. Does anybody know, how to hide this new keyboard layout indicator in Lucid Lynx? [04:34] !controls | osubuck [04:34] osubuck: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[04:34] Mathuin, yeah this is my second try at installing, getting reallyl tired of this :\ [04:34] IdleOne: Thank you [04:34] dca: then wait a min [04:34] osubuck, sure thing [04:34] Dunkirk, Then there is no good solution., You have to re-edit the boot file every time a kernel update comes in. [04:34] coldfire, no there isn't much you can do afaik, wl is a proprietary driver from broadcrap that has its limitations as you can see, if you want support from wl, I suggest you email broadcom for support [04:34] PythonPup, 10-4. [04:35] joshthecoder: I have been at this for *hours*. I tried every combination of mdadm and "fakeraid", 32 and 64 bit, alternate and desktop. :-( [04:35] acicula: always got to get the last word in, eh? [04:35] survey: whatcha all runnin? 32 or 64 bit? [04:35] tommyfun, please dont take polls here [04:35] ravenkhan: Alright, had to check. It may be that some devices on your computer don't directly support standby mode under linux. [04:35] ravenkhan, yup i have been doing it since 8.10 ( directly from internet ) and ubuntu was pretty good in the network upgrade . so i trust it [04:35] hatake_kakashi: i wonder why it works for some but not others? Thank you for your help [04:35] Mathuin, yeah I'm about to ditch ubuntu (after using it for the past 4 years) and finding a new distro [04:35] so how do I fix this problem? google gives me nothing [04:35] ravenkhan, Thanks i appreciate [04:36] ravenkhan: It's been quite some time since I've owned a laptop, so I'm not entirely sure how much help I can be here. [04:36] joshthecoder: I still have a Vista install sitting around, I'd get just as much work done with that as this. [04:36] hey, every app i open in ubuntu restarts my pc, but then i get straight back into the desktop, is that swap being a pita? [04:36] taroven: ok [04:36] joshthecoder: allow me to recommend arch linux. You'll learn stuff. [04:36] dca: u are using 9.10? [04:36] How do i disable the login user list ?? I want the one that is similar to the older versions of ubuntu .. I want to enter both the username and the password .... anyone knows a way ? [04:36] Okay, I opened Main Menu and located a larger sized icon. However upon closing the dialouge box, and even restarting Gnome-Do, the icon is still small. I also tried h00k's method of making a launcher and changing it from there. Maybe the problem is permissions? [04:36] AngryParsley, if there something you'd like to discuss further best to do that via pm. [04:36] ravenkhan, Yes [04:36] Dunkirk, you may be tempted to let the update merge your changes, but that always corrupts the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for me. I hand edit and everything works. I wrote a littel python script once, but the edit is really pretty quick. I would alway take quiet off the boot kernel options. [04:37] coldfire, I believe it could be kernel versions and the way the package is to be made, do rememeber that wl is proprietary at the end of the day.. if it wants to play up it will, its broadcrap for youo [04:37] coldfire, s/youo/you/ [04:37] How do I copy the home folder on a remote computer to this computer? [04:37] ideally I'd like to remove the package gobject-introspection-repository, but apt wants to remove ubuntu-desktop [04:37] pokeh, I think you should be able to change the icon, but I'd guess the size stays the same. [04:37] dca: i think u are using ubuntu ervers? [04:37] ravenkhan: The best solution I can give is to use hibernate instead until Google-fu provides you with something better, but that doesn't exactly work well if you're looking to have the laptop go to standby when you shut the lid (or similar situations). [04:37] hey guys, I installed konversation from kde on my ubuntu, and it installed a bunch of kde packages (around 200+ Mb). is it possible to remove it together with all those kde-based packages? when I try to remove konversation, it just wants to remove libindicate-qt0, konversation. Suggestions, please? [04:37] AngryParsley, that is fine to remove its a metapackage [04:37] dca: servers [04:37] IdleOne, rsync [04:38] is there any way to create the equivalent of a restore point in ubuntu? [04:38] AngryParsley: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package. safe to remove and you can install it afterwards [04:38] bazhang: umm… ok [04:38] AngryParsley, removing the ubuntu-desktop package is not an issue, its just a meta-package [04:38] PythonPup: Well that's the thing. I pointed the icon to a 128x128 icon as opposed to a 48x48, however the changes are not applied. Perhaps I need to restart/reboot? [04:38] pumpy: rsync [04:38] Hey any1 know what could be wrong with slow compiz performance on an out of the box installation? I have ati x1300 radeon and a 2ghz sempron cpu... =P [04:38] pumpy, a snapshot? [04:38] ravenkhan, noops.. desktop [04:38] pumpy, If you run your Ubuntu in a VM like VirtualBox, then it is easy. [04:38] bazhang: yes like a snapshot [04:38] AngryParsley, though it may get used again for doing a release upgrade to pull in all th desktop dependencies, dunno about that [04:39] obiwan_: thanks I'll check that out [04:39] pokeh, I doubt it, but try. I bet it is conveniently resizing it for you. [04:39] anyone else experiencing problems launching evolution? mine just hangs... === Nomad_ is now known as Wanderer [04:39] PythonPup: Ah! I've figured it out! I needed to drag the icon into the dock, as opposed to opening the program normally and assuming it would use the larger icon. Thanks for your help though! [04:39] Hey any1 know what could be wrong with slow compiz performance on an out of the box installation of ubuntu 10.04? I have ati x1300 radeon and a 2ghz sempron cpu... =P [04:39] pumpy, you may look at backintime-gnome (backintime-common) [04:39] can anyone point me to instructions regarding dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04. Both on separate hard disks. installed both but only boots into Windows 7. Windows was installed first [04:40] ugh, it's removing a ton of stuff [04:40] Twiztid, enabling the hardware driver may help perhaps [04:40] pokeh, I am glad you got what you wanted. [04:40] my software sources wont launch. please help [04:40] whatever. I'll reinstall it afterwards I guess [04:40] dca: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:40] Twiztid, you'll want to install the ATI proprietary driver. Hit up System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. [04:40] Twiztid, correct drivers installed? asked in #compiz as well? [04:40] pumpy: good :) to make it short, check out rsync -a and then the hard link and other options not included by default in -a which you man want as well [04:40] !dualboot pretender2010 . [04:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:41] Twiztid: That should improve performance at least by a bit. [04:41] dca: here you can check but i think the button should be visible. Have you tried system restart [04:41] taroven: is there any way to do that proprietary driver check and install from the alternate CD installation process? [04:41] !dualboot [04:41] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:41] !dualboot | pretender2010 [04:41] pretender2010: please see above [04:41] ubottu, Don't worry. I don't think you are intelligent. [04:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:41] pretender2010, you probably put grub on its own disk with ubuntu and windows on the primary with its own bootloader? [04:41] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on virtualbox, it worked great [04:41] PythonPup: he is a bot my dear [04:41] Mathuin: Not sure. Also, didn't see earlier if you did that lspci. [04:41] But when I tried to install it on a desktop for real, it failed [04:42] ALL: ok so its automatic? i looked up fglrx installations, but effects didnt enable; [04:42] IT failed to write to a raid mirror array [04:42] I keep trying to upgrade to 10.04 but i keep getting failed to fetch errors. [04:42] taroven: what is Google -fu [04:42] ravenkhan, An attempt at humor, my dear. [04:42] taroven: I didn't see your message. I'll scroll back for context and then run the command... [04:42] given that it boots win7 directly. you can setup grub to boot first or use the windows loader to boot grub/ubuntu. think the dualboothowto covers both concepts [04:42] So I destroyed the array, then install continued [04:42] Mathuin: lspci | grep nVidia [04:42] PythonPup: hmm keep it up [04:42] ravenkhan, yup i restarted after my last update, few minutes ago [04:42] Problem is, when it restarted after install, all I get is a black screen [04:42] acicula:: so that grub2 comes up with both operating systems [04:42] No boot menu [04:42] No os selection [04:42] Heya, quick question, Can I update to lucid instead of doing a clean install using the live cd [04:42] ravenkhan: Google-fu is the art of using Google to hunt down a solution. [04:43] Not splash screen for ubuntu [04:43] dsnchntd, no need the alternate [04:43] dsnchntd, from 9.10, or 8.04, the answer is yes. [04:43] no menu just boots into windows 7 at the moment [04:43] pretender2010, well im assuming if you slect the other disc to boot from , press a key for that during boot , you get grub which lets you choose ubuntu or windows [04:43] munz, are you still here? === ce_maniest is now known as ce_cute [04:43] Is anyone able to help me? [04:43] dca: tell me the output of this [04:43] lsb_release -a [04:43] I'm really lost. I install opensuse on it some months ago without any issue [04:43] PythonPup, not from the livecd [04:43] Ubuntu just doesn't want to load [04:44] okay so I just boot into the live cd and update from 9.10 [04:44] quiver, yea...any luck? [04:44] taroven: I have a GeForce 8800 GT in the desktop, which is correctly detected by lspci. [04:44] pretender2010: boot up the live cd and run fdisk -l (or open up gparted) to make sure ubuntu really is installed. If it is, restore grub2 (I'll look for a link to this). If not, install it. [04:44] o.o.... [04:44] dsnchntd, no [04:44] bazhang, I almost always use the alternate CD. You may be right that that is the disk to use. [04:44] taroven: can u explain me? [04:44] munz, i have version 3.30 [04:44] ravenkhan, LSB Version: core-2.0-ia32:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-ia32:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch [04:44] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [04:44] Description: Ubuntu 9.10 [04:44] Release: 9.10 [04:44] Codename: karmic [04:44] dca: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:44] taroven: so i can check myself [04:44] noooo :[ [04:44] pretender2010, to get that you have to setup grub to be installed on the ubuntu disk but set the mbr to the win7 disc, since that is the one that is loaded by the bios. Or just set your bios to boot the ubuntu disc instead of the win7 disc. but not all bios have that option [04:44] I had the install erase the entire disk and format, which should be the easiest way right? [04:44] I keep trying to upgrade to 10.04 but i keep getting failed to fetch errors. What is the problem? [04:44] ravenkhan, soory [04:44] <[Screamo]> uhm [04:44] guess I'll do it some other time [04:44] dca: what happened? [04:45] k776, did you md5 the iso? do the disk integrity check after burning at low speed? [04:45] jake_, can you pastebin the errors === z is now known as Guest38001 [04:45] quiver, im not sure then bro, sorry i dont have any other ideas :( [04:45] ubuntu is installed as i am using easybcd go handle the dual boot menu [04:45] <[Screamo]> Is there anyway to not have to type your password in when you sudo something? [04:45] ravenkhan: Start by searching for 'ubuntu standby problem', refine your search if need be with your laptop's manufacturer and/or model number. [04:45] ravenkhan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/425646/ === cpg|away is now known as cpg [04:45] [Screamo], you can configure the sudoers file. [04:45] ravenkhan: Most importantly, be prepared to read. A lot. [04:45] [Screamo], why would you want that [04:46] munz: aww...thanks for your help though. [04:46] pretender2010: I think the instructions here are worth a try: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [04:46] taroven: yeah but how use Google -fu [04:46] quiver, no prob... good luck! [04:46] thanks guys [04:46] dca: ok [04:46] bazhang: it is a common request for those who don't agree with the philosophy of authenticating every privileged action the box takes. Personally, I _like_ entering in my password, it makes me think about whether I want the box to do that or not. [04:46] acicula, http://paste.ubuntu.com/425647/ [04:46] <[Screamo]> bazhang, because in order to use internet i have to do sudo wvdialconf and sudo wvdial [04:46] [Screamo], generally, it is a bad idea, though. It makes your system much less secure. [04:46] ravenkhan: Google-fu isn't a site, it's a term for general knowledge of Google or other search engines applied to find a result. [04:46] has anyone experience software sources not launching? [04:47] [Screamo], sudo -i [04:47] has anyone encounterd an error while retarting after the upgrade? [04:47] [Screamo]: can you fix that problem by changing permissions on the dialer? [04:47] has anyone had issues with the 10.04 upgrade? [04:47] <[Screamo]> so its annoying to allwyas have to put in a password [04:47] jake_, select a different mirror in software sources [04:47] bazhang: No to the md5 (how?), yes to the disk integrity check [04:47] PythonPup: can you give me an example command to copy from the pc on my LAN to this pc please? [04:47] i need to change repositories. please help [04:47] [Screamo], you can configure just those commands to not need a password. I do that to pkill so I can kill the update-notifier. [04:47] http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM k776 [04:47] is u1 stability still an issue for people? [04:47] <[Screamo]> PythonPup, yea thats what i want to do [04:47] <[Screamo]> but i forgot how [04:47] I am running out of disk space so, is there a way I can use an USB drive to add more space [04:48] <[Screamo]> Today was a FML day :( [04:48] dca: i suggest then you should download the image since it will be useful in future also. [04:48] i had to re-configure my applets, some were missing [04:48] IdleOne, What was your original question? I don't know what to paste. [04:48] 10.04 is beautiful... [04:48] <[Screamo]> my main comps mobo fried and i lost everything =/ [04:48] PythonPup: using rsync to copy /home from remote to /home on this box [04:48] is there a difference between a clean install compared to an upgrade? [04:48] Mathuin: Hmm... So basically, lspci lists the card correctly but the driver refuses to install? (Checking to make sure I've got everything right before digging into forums) [04:49] dca: and make a backup of your homefolder [04:49] Is there a reason setxkbmap doesn't change the keyboard map for me in karmic? [04:49] dca: before installing 10.04 [04:49] I am running out of disk space so, is there a way I can use an USB drive to add more space [04:49] ravenkhan, okay cool.. will do that.. :) thanks a lot!! [04:49] bazhang: command not found: md5sum [04:49] <[Screamo]> so PythonPup how do i do that? [04:49] taroven: the driver failed to install on the 64-bit install I had, both 173(?) and current. [04:49] k776, did you read the link? [04:49] bazhang: yes [04:50] Mathuin: What was the error message again? No device found? [04:50] taroven: ok means that just check the thing in google.com . I thought this might be a channel [04:50] techzg: probably not unless you had the foresight to install lvm. It sounds hackish anyway, there has to be some other way for you to free up space. Maybe by removing docs and stuff. [04:50] k776, just curious, what are you using to burn the iso? [04:50] IdleOne, I can't be very specific without knowing more about how these machines are connected. You need some method of the machines getting files from one to another. You can setup an ssh server or a samba server, but you need something. [04:50] ravenkhan: Correct, I wasn't implying that you go anywhere you wouldn't normally. [04:50] Mac OS X Disk Utility [04:50] [Screamo], can we go to a pm? [04:50] ok this is weird [04:50] PythonPup: ssh server is already installed. [04:50] I can't boot in to x now [04:50] The unnamed window had something about installSomething() failing. I was more focused on the RAID problems I was having, I should have written it down. It did cause a crash report which was automagically submitted. [04:51] hey people, I installed konversation from kde on my ubuntu, and it installed a bunch of kde packages (around 200+ Mb). is it possible to remove it together with all those kde-based packages? when I try to remove konversation, it just wants to remove libindicate-qt0, konversation. Suggestions, please? [04:51] dca: [04:51] tar -cvpzf backupDATE.tar.gz /home/ create backup [04:51] tar -xvpzf /path/to/backupDATE.tar.gz -C /home/ [04:51] slw: but docs are pretty useful sometimes right? [04:51] <[Screamo]> PythonPup, Sure [04:51] !puregnome | progre55 [04:51] progre55: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [04:51] whas the command to test long a program takes to run? [04:51] slw: I thought, I could connect a Usb drive to add extra space [04:51] techzg: Sure. Maybe try an apt-get clean [04:52] i need to convert videos to play on my nexus one. what gui app can you recommend? [04:52] techzg: you could mount it and use it like a folder. [04:52] Jacen, whats new and beautiful about the new version? [04:52] gusty1: 'time date' will tell you how long it takes to run the date command. [04:52] ravenkhan, oh ya.. cool ... thanks again [04:52] hey there - trying to do something tricky with disk mirroring - any mdadm or lvm experts here? [04:52] ah ok thanks [04:52] bazhang: Mac OS X Disk Utility [04:52] I am totally amused that Mark Shuttleworth posted his "and that's final" message on the movement of the close button etc to the left on April first. [04:52] dca: these are commands to make a backup of your homefolder. And then to restore after installing 10.04 [04:53] speaker icon is missing in tray, how do it restore it? [04:53] I am freaking in love with the highlight mode in gedit. anyone know good open source apps for win/mac that do this too? [04:53] oh, if you are dualbooting, is it all right to have two ubuntu options? [04:53] bazhang: Ok, the md5 at the release.ubunut.com and the one I downloaded match [04:53] And the integrity of the disk is good [04:53] bazhang: any other ideas? [04:53] IdleOne: thanks man, appreciate [04:53] quiver: it's okay to have two ubuntu options as long as you can tell which is which. :-) [04:54] what if its the same, like two ubuntus? [04:54] where do i install the java advanced imaging library to? it keeps giving me an error saying its installing to the worong location [04:54] IdleOne, let me work out some exact syntax and I'll PM you. Is that OK? [04:54] maxxist: I <3 Notepad++. Like you would not believe. [04:54] hi, I installed gspca in ubutnu8.10, my cam shows video but can't record voice [04:54] k776, I suggest burning a t a lower speed if possible and trying again; if it persists you can try some of the bootoptions, and failing that use the alternate installer only cd that works when the live cd (at times) can't get the job done [04:54] PythonPup: yes that would be fine thanks :) [04:54] also is the sun jvm in the repos yet [04:54] maxxist: Notepad++ is like gedit given happy pills. [04:54] hello [04:55] hpf: Hi. [04:55] !hi [04:55] 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! [04:55] bazhang: Well, the install itself went fine. It only wouldn't load after the restart at the end [04:55] so, Mathuin, its possible to have ubuntu and kubuntu when dualbooting? [04:55] bazhang: The live cd boots fine, I can use it, etc [04:55] taroven : I can boot but now my X doesn't start up [04:55] quiver: I see no technical reason why not. [04:55] k776, did you try to boot in recovery mode [04:56] So maybe an incompatible system? I'm not sure. The live cd works fine with the graphics card etc [04:56] Mathuin: Might've gotten lost in the shuffle. What was demsg saying earlier? [04:56] k776, you said yu destory a array didn't you? [04:56] bsmith093, yeah, enab;e partner repos [04:56] oh ok [04:56] k776, wait this is with raid array? [04:56] are you try 10.04? [04:56] taroven: the dmesg wasn't very informative. In about thirty minutes, I will be able to try it again. [04:56] finally im on lucid lynx! [04:56] sweet [04:56] k776, that's not fine in my dictionary.

[05:18] all right, well I'll give my guess on what has happened, I think I messed up boot order or something like that by incorrectly turning off an external hard drive while using windows which I have partitioned ubuntu onto [05:18] taroven, i was in the wrong folder its in there [05:18] got the link the bot sent me... looking into it now [05:18] denali: Any progress?

Is there a way to change that? [05:19] In the old days, I had a sandblaster... [05:19] taroven, im trying to hook up my wiimote [05:19] faploid: wired networking works for me as it always has just plug in the ethernet cable and I'm up just like that [05:19] Mathuin: I used thermite and 7.62x54R :) [05:20] sain, need to see the url of your sources.list; also what errors does sudo apt-get update return, please paste.ubuntu.com with those as well [05:20] bazhang, then a menu in "preferences" should have a check box to do this.... will that be in meerkat / [05:20] ?

[05:20] gameware, just plugin it in [05:20] bazhang url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/425657/ [05:20] randal: I'm going to assume that you haven't set permissions manually for uinput, which according to http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/wiki/wminput, is preferable. [05:20] faploid: just need my wireless working :( [05:20] OriginalNickname, So you have Linux installed on external drive. When you try to boot to windows with external drive unplugged, you get a grub menu? [05:21] taroven, any ideas have you ever hooked up a wiimote [05:21] randal: In which case, just use 'sudo wminput' [05:21] i plugged it in and nothing and works fine on other linux machines [05:21] and no errors with sudo apt-get update. [05:21] speaker icon is missing in tray, how do it restore it? [05:21] sain, you are running karmic then? [05:21] i think an induction furnace would 'declassify' a drive rather thoroughly [05:21] is appropriate for me https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [05:21] please [05:21] ok so weird stuff [05:21] graelin, no I have Ubuntu installed on my C drive, I installed it through windows XP [05:21] yes i am on ubuntu studio. [05:21] randal: No, but I've worked quite a lot with the xbox controller userspace driver, which also has uinput quirks. Running wxinput as root (via sudo) should work fine. [05:21] Asim, for the minimal iso? yes [05:22] yes [05:22] bazhang, yes [05:22] sain, so what is the issue exactly? you cannot upgrade? [05:22] I can get ubuntu 10.xx to boot with one GTX260 but when I add the second it doesn't boot..... [05:22] following the command on the linked website did the trick! Thanks! [05:22] denali: Ping. Still having trouble? [05:22] OriginalNickname, dual boot.. both os on same drive? [05:22] taroven, WOW IM so dumb that was my problem im an idiot [05:22] Asim, so download it?

[05:23] Is there a way in Lucid that I can find the fastest repository from the console? [05:23] graelin, yes. I was having some trouble with Windows and I was frustrated with it so I decided to DL/install Ubuntu and dual boot it [05:23] zer0hz, any error messages or could it be they're not plugged in SLI correctly or some other hardware problem?

My Windows is infected to hell and back with viruses right now, is it possible that they actually went into the linux folder on my C drive and deleted a bunch of vital files? So the best thing I can do right now is just back as much of the data I had on the Ubuntu partition as I can and start over? [05:34] abhijain-> you cant its only 10.04 [05:34] adhijain: As long as desktop composition works, Compiz should work. What video card do you use? [05:35] does anyone elses 10.04 take a million years to log in? boot is fast, but login is painful [05:35] i just installed ubuntu netbook remix yesterday and have to say this is really good, thank you fellows! [05:35] con-man: I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. [05:35] the quicktime player and when i click on that it opens mplayer and says error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device [05:35] taroven, lucky you :( [05:35] caldwell_, the quicktime player? on Ubuntu? [05:35] now why won't my nvidia settings stay, keeps resetting that damned twinview [05:36] con-man: Then again, I'm running a clean install which is about two hours old, so my results are likely much different from yours if you upgraded. [05:36] I am running a clean install thats 30 mins old [05:36] I got a question Idk if any1 can answer it or not. [05:36] my installs like 5 hours old lol [05:37] On my nix copy I've got version 185 nvidia drivers installed. And my fan speed isnt adjusting when needed, is there a way I can manually adjust it? [05:37] ahem.. seems nothing has changed since 6.1 upgrade method is still boggered [05:37] What is devhelp? [05:37] brb, must restart X. Silly emerald... [05:37] how can i give a proftpd user the ability to modify file permissions on ubuntu 9.10? [05:37] brous-kee: intel graphics [05:37] im using firefox to look at the video then when i click on the video it loads partially then stops then when i click on the black screen mplayer opens then i get the fatal error [05:37] OriginalNickname, Not likely.. not even sure a windows app could even see the linux partition.. unless you chose FAT or NTFS to install linux on. But a clean install has never failed me before. If you can back up your data... a clean linux/windows install is a beautiful thing [05:37] nvidia gfx. [05:37] any new developments? [05:37] caldwell_, from apple's website? [05:37] speaker icon is missing in tray, how do it restore it? [05:38] does chromium have a dl plugin like firefox does for youtube and other stream site videos? [05:38] denali: Any luck? [05:38] not from apple website its a school website called coursecompass.com [05:38] MichaelSP1991-> same o sameo [05:38] system preferences sound === ezra is now known as Guest6317 [05:38] Blacklisting nouveau isn't working. Any suggestions? [05:38] just drag it over to the tray icon === Guest6317 is now known as taroven [05:38] brous-kee: damn, that sucks, im looking for something new to do with my iDroid lol [05:38] caldwell_, tried to wget it then play on your computer that way? [05:38] all right thanks graelin, I'll get on my way to getting a new kernel installed! [05:38] ...why did xchat decide not to keep my nick? [05:38] Anyway. [05:39] Can i adjust my fan speeds on my nvidia card or not? [05:39] hm, would "eth0: no IPV6 routers present" in my dmesg relevant to my broken ipv4 networking, or should I ignore it ? [05:39] im new so when you say wget it im lost lol [05:39] MichaelSP1991-> oh there is version just for the droid/iphone size system [05:39] Did you register your nick taroven?? [05:39] caldwell_, download it from the website using wget then watch it [05:39] anyone know how to force 800x480 video in X? [05:39] faploid: the no-IPv6-routers-present line is not relevant when dealing with IPv4 problems. [05:39] faploid-> what kind of networking issues you're having? [05:40] jimtuv: I've had this nick registered for about two years. Xchat just randomly decided to default to my username. Probably from me forcequitting it a second ago. [05:40] Lucid 10.04 is Awesome! [05:40] I'm having video card overheat issues -.- [05:40] anyone here using Handbrake with ubuntu "10.04"? [05:40] Ferb, :) you might wish to join #ubuntu-offtopic [05:40] prestonc, from the PPA? from handbrake's homepage?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:40] denali: I saw references to another module noveau uses, gimme a minute and I'll see what I can dig up. Dealing with a minor issue of my own atm. [05:40] They restict quick logons to avoid channel takeovers [05:41] taroven: I blacklisted nouveau and nvidiafb [05:41] taroven: They still load, though. [05:41] bazhang, So the 0.9.4 version is it, then, right? [05:41] denali-> there is also rmmod to unload modules or modprobe -r [05:41] brous-kee: wired networking not working at all. interface shows up in lspci, I can ifconfig it with an address, netmask, etc, I can ping myself, but can't get out or in. ifconfig claims I've sent 0 packets despite pinging out lots of times [05:41] prestonc, from which source? [05:42] denali: Issue dealt with. Which file did you use for the blacklist? [05:42] winXPuser: :) [05:42] I can't get it to work? (Thus asking if anyone has it working is my real question). [05:42] oops, minus the ? [05:42] taroven: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:42] I installed the 64-bit 9.10 deb [05:42] faploid-> can you pastebin the results of route -n and ifconfig ? [05:42] prestonc, the PPA version is working fine here, though PPA are entirely at the user's own risk [05:42] its been so long since I've used IRC i forget how to register an account. [05:42] I am about to do the upgrade anything I should consider before hitting that button? === zenergi_ is now known as zenergi [05:42] savage308 /msg nickserv help register [05:43] !register | savage308 [05:43] savage308: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[05:43] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [05:43] jimtuv-> may i suggest do a fresh install instead of an upgrade? [05:43] abhijain: did you try doing what the error suggests? [05:43] brous-kee: I'd have to type it up by hand since I have no network :) I'll just keep browsing the forums for a bit and then revert back to Karmic when I've had enough [05:43] denali yep a fx5200 [05:43] abhijain, and did you run that command? [05:43] jimtuv: Good luck. [05:43] Will doing a fresh install of Ubuntu amd64 have ill effects on my /home? what I mean is are the configs and all that the same for 32bit and 64bit apps? [05:43] denali: lsmod | grep noveau & lsmod | grep nvidiafb [05:44] IdleOne: should be fine [05:44] thanks, bazhang. Now I just need to figure out how to setup the PPA. Never done that before. [05:44] I cannot make my network card to work. It is a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC [05:44] IdleOne I think new install erases home dir, yes, backup it first [05:44] denali: I can never be sure on my ampersands, you might want to type those individually. [05:44] IdleOne-> one thing i learned, i cant seem to mix ext4 and ext3 file systems [05:44] yeah [05:44] prestonc, its quite simple, there are detailed instructions on the PPA 's respective page [05:44] it wipes everything doesn't it (fresh install)? [05:45] How to install VLC player on Lucid?? [05:45] winXPuser, he has a separate home partition [05:45] jimtuv yes I think fresh install wipes out everything [05:45] jimtuv nope, it should not, you can use new partitions [05:45] >> [05:45] I don't knwo what the respective page is. Never heard of PPA, honestly. And I've used Linux over a decade [05:45] << no idea [05:45] Ferb, via the package manager or the command line [05:45] Can anybody help me out with my vid card overheatin issues on ubuntu? [05:45] on the ubuntu 10.04 cd im trying to run "grub-install /dev/sdc2" but it just says "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)." [05:45] taroven: nouveau is loading, nvidiafb isn't. [05:45] Hi All.. I just sttarted the 10.04 installer.. and in the manual partition screen.. I'm not being shown my existing partitions [05:45] !anyone | savage308 [05:45] savage308: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:45] prestonc, search terms ubuntu ppa handbrake will give you the necessary link [05:45] any ideas? [05:45] savage308 staate your issue in full :) [05:46] is VLC package now available as vlan?? [05:46] anilg: Mind a screenshot? (Just press printscreen, save the file, and upload to imageshack or something) [05:46] bazhang: dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [05:46] I tried sudo apt-get install vlc [05:46] My video card (EVGA 9800GT) Nvidia card, Its just basically getting hot while playing games and such on ubuntu, my fan speed will not rise. [05:46] abhijain, you used sudo? [05:46] it stays at a solid 30% [05:46] taroven: it's the live CD.. I cant connect as I need to setup the modem after the install [05:46] I could grab a picture with my ell [05:46] * [05:46] cell* [05:46] bazhang: NO [05:46] ya [05:47] abhijain, then do so [05:47] caldwell_, lets keep it in channel please [05:47] its one and the same... [05:47] any ideas? [05:47] bazhang: plz tell me exact command for flash installation [05:48] o srry [05:48] Flash plugin?? [05:48] is there a boot recovery utility on the ubuntu cd? [05:48] Ferb-> on 10.04 or previous vesion? [05:48] Is there a way in Lucid that I can find the fastest repository from the console? [05:48] anilg: Suppose that would work, long as we can see exactly what you're talking about. This is one of those things where it's either long and complicated or a simple 'look here instead'. [05:48] in my 10.4 there was a message "passphrase for something", is it possible that my /home is somehow encrypted? [05:49] brous-kee: 10.04 [05:49] is this a bug that when listening to a streaming radio station in rhythmbox and then trying to enable the visualization it interrupts the stream? [05:49] beilabs-> at this moment, servers are so busy as lots are doing an upgrade, so perhaps you just wait two to 3 days [05:49] I'm about to set up Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop that currently has Fedora 12 on it, and would like some help setting up GRUB... [05:49] denali: Having a sparring match with google, gimme a minute. [05:49] my daughter managed to switch off her computer whilst updating to 10.04, now it won't boot. Any ideas? [05:49] Ferb-> it may just not be ready for 10.04 yet [05:49] hello i installed xammp server on my ubuntu , and removed it using rm -rf /opt/lampp but now i try to install it i found this error message whi installing (tar: lampp/RELEASENOTES: Cannot open: No such file or directory [05:49] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [05:49] ) [05:49] beilabs, fastest repo? you mean a place where you can download files from? they should all be fast [05:49] whats the error [05:49] !info vlc [05:49] vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.5-2ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 1611 kB, installed size 3832 kB [05:50] taroven: No problem. I'm working on it while muttering various methods of torture I'd use on the person who decided to use this gods forsaken driver. [05:50] Ferb, see above [05:50] I'd like to have Ubuntu's GRUB as the default, as pointed to by the MBR, but handing control off to Fedora's GRUB for booting Fedora, so that Fedora can update its GRUB with a new kernel when needed. [05:50] DaveSiberia: what is the error you get when trying to boot? [05:50] May be.. Let me check on VLC's site.. [05:50] bazhang, I installed the PPA (at least I think I did it right) and it says I'm on the current one. 0.9.4. [05:50] WindPower, I'm using the Amazone EC2 instance of Ubuntu, the default repo is the US, I think the server is located in Singapore, want to find the fastest one around that area! [05:50] Ferb see bazhang comments [05:50] prestonc, ok [05:50] winXPuser, see above! [05:50] denali: dpkg -l | grep nouveau [05:51] How do i add users to a group? [05:51] nog - let me just check exactly [05:51] can anyone tell me how i will fix the wireless in 10.04 ubuntu...in hp pavilion dv6 [05:51] MTughan, You want to chain load grub. Google for that. I have set it up before, but only once. [05:51] denali: (We'll try this the good old fashioned method) [05:51] PythonPup: Thanks, will do. [05:51] I mean, I ran sudo add-apt-repository ppa:handbrake-ubuntu/ppa and it shows up in synaptic as current. [05:51] TannerF-> you can use vim to edit /etc/group as root off course [05:51] taroven: Did that. It appears nouveau is compiled into the kernel. === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [05:51] I'm trying to set up sshfs, following the common instructions listed in various places, but at the step "sudo modprobe fuse" it's failing: "FATAL: Module fuse not found." I then tried continuing to see what would happen and when it got to "sudo chmod +x /dev/fusermount" that also failed, file doesn't exist. [05:51] denali: Ewwwwwww. [05:51] what does this error mean error opening/initializiing the selected video_out (-vo) device [05:51] By the way, do you have to do anything special to go from beta to release? [05:51] Other than dist-upgrade? === skynet is now known as Guest10713 [05:51] Whoopi... VLC got installed by `$sudo apt-get install vlc` [05:51] taroven: Not exactly what I said, but it's close! [05:52] tavoren: it looks like this .. http://cache.techie-buzz.com/images/posts/Screenshot-Install-4.jpg .. except the top bar is empty (no blue/green/orange), and the list of partitions has one line that says /dev/sda [05:52] prestonc, simply update and upgrade [05:52] Where can I learn more about what grub thinks it's doing, and ideally, how to tell it to do mdadm magic before trying to mount filesystems and the like? [05:52] denali: Though unless you actually did the compiling yourself, it's probably just a kernel module, which is still more of a pain to completely get rid of. Do me a favor and doublecheck your blacklist? [05:52] ChrisMorgan: those sound like outdated instructions, no hand editing of permissions is usually needed [05:52] denali: Stranger things have happened than entries in there disappearing. [05:52] MikeChelen: oh? So I can just do it straight off? [05:52] ChrisMorgan-> if you do mount is fuse listed anywhere? [05:53] and here we go again, a regression reported 3 months ago still in the release :| https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/514032 [05:53] They were just the instructions I found in various places. [05:53] Ferb, what problem are you having with VLC? It works fine on my system with 10.04 Beta upgraded to current and I am installing it now on a system with 10.04 final. [05:53] one more question: how do i chown to a group? [05:53] taroven: They're still there. Only thing I can figure is that they moved the blacklist or changed it's name subtlely. [05:53] beilabs, pong, what? "WindPower, I'm using the Amazone EC2 instance of Ubuntu, the default repo is the US, I think the server is located in Singapore, want to find the fastest one around that area!" I see, I think just by trial and error [05:53] denali: I doubt it. [05:53] TannerF: chown user:group [05:53] brous-kee: there's the gvfs fuse thing [05:53] MikeChelen: what do you mean? [05:53] denali: Might be time to check your init.d and whatever else Ubuntu runs at startup. [05:53] Hmm, it does seem to be working. [05:53] ChrisMorgan-> that should be it then, its already there [05:54] eg, i want to chown to group of svadmins [05:54] hey, i have a dell c400 with an intel (i think 82830) graphics chip. i am getting some overlap on command line install and cant see crap. anyway to fix this? [05:54] So all I /actually/ needed was to sudo apt-get install sshfs and it was ready? [05:54] TannerF: that is how to set the user and group owner [05:54] nod first: mounting on /dev failed, then start: unknown job: S49console-setup [05:54] oh [05:54] ChrisMorgan: that usually works for me [05:54] hmm.. what is a user group? [05:54] denali: Depending on how sadistic the programmers felt like being, they may have seen it as 'fun' to add it to every possible start script. [05:54] In that case I think that should be documented somewhere official. I think it'd be considered a very useful feature. [05:54] i'm confused... [05:54] Hutch[S]-> try tput reset [05:54] Ferb, VLC 1.06 was installed and works fine. [05:55] That'll make transfer between my web server and local system much easier :-) [05:55] ChrisMorgan: which part? installation is similar to any other package [05:55] so, something like sudo chown -R tanner:svadmins ./pywikipedia ? [05:55] denali: At this point I'd be tempted to try killing X, manually deleting the module files, and seeing what happens. [05:55] DaveSiberia: in grub, can you try booting to an older version of the kernel? or a rescue kernel? [05:55] !chown [05:55] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [05:55] denali: But... that's just me and I'd stand little to lose but half an hour doing a reinstall. [05:56] A search for it on the internet showed lots of results, all with fairly complex instructions (well, handling installing things, groups, permissions etc.). [05:56] hi, what is ubuntu one? [05:56] !ubuntuone [05:56] Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [05:56] nod: how do i get into grub? [05:56] denali: (Read: Might not be the best idea in the world, but in a case like this you may be looking at a reinstall anyway just to be done with it) [05:56] it won't work... [05:56] yeah, PPA isn't working for me, apparently. During update I get an error saying "W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/handbrake-ubuntu/ppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" [05:56] can someone help me to get quicktime player to work cant play any quicktime videos [05:56] is ubuntu one is free web space? [05:57] is it free? [05:57] but I don't get what the chown command is from the ubottu's output, where can I read about user groups and chown command syntax?? [05:57] all distros are free [05:57] yes [05:57] ChrisMorgan: yeah all those guides from old versions are still around, try including the release name (lucid) to filter for more recent docs [05:57] OriginalNickname: not all. [05:57] nod: I just rebooted now I have a command line! [05:57] except redhat. But theres centos for that [05:57] i just closed it nvm [05:57] DaveSiberia: when you first start booting, there should be an area to choose what kernel you want, thats grub, the bootloader [05:57] winXPuser-> man chown and man man [05:57] a vast majority of them are, not all though [05:57] >_> [05:57] Hmm. Matter of fact I'm still on Karmic, but once I've finished my current assignment I'll be updating to Lucid. [05:57] is ubuntu one free? and what does it do? [05:58] PythonPup: I ran sudo apt-get update then installed it worked, preveiously I hav't done dat.. [05:58] really?

[05:59] kelvinella-> there is google for you to use, kindly use that resource [05:59] MikeChelen, Ubuntu One is the personal cloud service that simplifies your digital life. Imagine buying music and getting it delivered to the computers of your choice. Or synchronizing your files and notes and accessing them from anywhere. Or consolidating your computer and mobile phone contacts and safely sharing documents and pictures with them. Ubuntu One can already do this and more.

[06:00] denali: I hear ya. I personally don't mind because I only ever keep temp files and such on my OS partitions, but it's still annoying as all sin. Check /etc/init.d/ for any references to noveau, we may strike gold there. [06:00] how activate the wireless in 10.04...hp pavilion dv6 ????? [06:00] Fireking300, last time i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, couple things are broken [06:00] do you guys think lucid lynx looks like mac os? [06:00] ahaios_-> make sure the driver is loaded, and you can then check with iwlist wlan0 scan [06:00] DaveSiberia: if you have the cli, you should have a dev, do you have network connectivity on the machine?

When you do a new install, you do have to update the repository information. That is normal. Glad you got it working. [06:01] Fireking300, this is my working machine, dont have time to deal with problem [06:01] kelvinella, oh okay. well I just do fresh installs every 6 months. [06:01] hm, would an assload of ACPI errors in dmesg have any relevance on broken networking ? [06:01] BLANK SCREEN && BLINKING CURSOR after fresh install of 10.04. Any solutions?

Actually an new to Ubuntu... Am completely switched to Ubuntu from Windows...

That is very clearly Apple's fault, and not Ubuntu's. [06:03] Ferb, this usually is "sudo apt-get appnamehere" in Terminal [06:03] DaveSiberia-> may as well do a fresh install [06:03] greezmunkey, ASUS P7P55D, Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM [06:03] winXPuser, you left out the word install, I believe.

[06:28] brous-kee Essentially if I manage to blank a disk via Brasero it seems to bork it [06:28] brous-kee and sometimes when I just put a disk in it will recognize it for a second and then go away [06:28] abhijain: try rebooting , you can kill it too [06:28] nog: It seems to be working [06:28] DaveSiberia: hrrm... that /could/ be a problem, hopefully that command chain i sent will work correctly [06:28] DaveSiberia: cool [06:28] thak insert a non-blank dvd after.. can it read it? [06:28] geekphreak: is der any command for kill the synaptic [06:28] vtorri, yes you can upgrade, install download and do whatever you want [06:28] i ask because i was not able to upgrade to a non LTS ubuntu with a 8.** LTS one [06:28] geekphreak, yep my pref too but it is my workhorse I develop on for a living so was not brave enough to totally blow it away ;-) [06:29] vtorri, that was probably some other issue.. you can always upgrade [06:29] ok [06:29] thank you [06:29] abhijain: kyou can use kill command [06:29] vtorri: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is your friend. =P [06:29] vtorri, anyway you have another 6 months to worry about that.. for now, just go for the latest [06:29] Anyone can help me with 10.04 install problem? [06:29] nog: does that mean that the update had already downloaded the new packages, but had only partially installed them? [06:30] ok, thanks all [06:30] !ask | distrachi [06:30] distrachi: 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. :-) [06:30] DaveSiberia: yes [06:30] abhijain: did you manually start synaptic? [06:30] wildbat: you beat me to it [06:30] Does anyone here know enough about grub to tell me why "grub-probe -t fs_uuid -d /dev/md0" gives me one value and "mdadm --detail /dev/md0 | grep UUID" gives me another? [06:30] repeating myself because no one answered. has anyone else had trouble with Gwibber software? (I know how to report errors and such, just asking) I'm guessing I should try this in another group. [06:30] aetaric, lol~ high five [06:30] DaveSiberia: it downloads everything and then installs them in order, looks like since you had boot problems that it had already started installing packages [06:30] !repeat [06:30] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [06:30] 9.10 is not LTS [06:30] DaveSiberia: we are just finishing up the process [06:31] geekphreak: no from software center i start it [06:31] nog: looks like it will take a while, I'll let you know how it works out [06:31] ubottu: thanks. [06:31] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [06:31] can someone show me how a file im trying to download can be installed under ubuntu ~~ im not sure what im doing and i dont wannt to break anything.... [06:31] abhijain: then close it manually, instead of killing it, it aint recommened :) [06:31] HOLY CRAP. Just now I realize that 10.04 changed wallpaper handling to be done on each monitor separately. Cool, now where's my option for separate wallpaper for each screen? =D [06:31] boot params don't include option for disabling network it seems. Maybe blacklist a module, but I don't know the module name and it might be compiled in. Maybe I can disable the hw in the BIOS and go from there. [06:31] sam_2007: what file? [06:31] sam_2007: what kind of file are you downlaoding? [06:31] DaveSiberia: kk, i may not be monitoring this channel closely enough, /msg me the results [06:32] FF dies, soon after reboot acd system freeze. WTF? I gave up on this and was bandaging but not again! Ubuntu-9.10 [06:32] geekphreak bilet, actually im not sure http://www.paperb.us/ its on this website. i dont think it has an extention ~ [06:32] wildbat, ok. so, how should i install that grub? [06:32] I have asked this 4 times over the last 4 houts [06:32] !wtf > tripelb [06:32] tripelb, please see my private message [06:32] I'm not able to boot to the 10.04 install CD (Desktop 64-bit version). When I try it does nothing and then after a few seconds, the computer boots to the hard drive. [06:32] geekphreak: can u tell me command guideline for ubuntu user guide [06:32] greezmunkey, that didn't help [06:32] elnur, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:32] brous-kee I put a music CD in and it wasn't recognized [06:32] bazhang, so should i waste another day downloading the alternate image for upgrading, or should i do a clean install? i have a lot of data and apps installed which will take a long time to backup and reinstall [06:32] nog: it's done all ready. Time to reboot? [06:32] distrachi: at what speed did you burn the disc? [06:32] Anyway when i click on it, nothing ahppends. so maybe i need to install it in terminal ? [06:32] abhijain: linuxcommand.org or .com good site to learn [06:32] brous-kee I can eject by going eject /dev/cdrom but it doesn't automount, although it does show up for a moment [06:32] sam_2007: thePaperBus-1.1.1-Linux-x86-Install file? [06:32] geekphreak, I used no bad language. So your warning was uncalled for. [06:32] Bilet yeah [06:32] DaveSiberia: really? done already, must have been close to the end then.. yes, reboot see if it works... [06:33] actually its the X32 [06:33] elnur: sorry man, try the install again, I heard that helped someone in your situation here yestarday. Unless someone else has a better idea? [06:33] FF dies, soon after reboot acd system freeze? I gave up on this and was bandaging but not again! Ubuntu-9.10 [06:33] sorry geekphreak I do see it now. [06:33] DaveSiberia: if you didnt catch, i have never had this problem so i am somewhat guessing at what needs to be done [06:33] thak look in your /etc/fstab file to see how the cdrom/dvd is mounting [06:33] <-- too much reddit [06:33] tripelb: no worries [06:33] geekphreak: once again thanx alot [06:33] tripelb: using that is against the rules. if you don't like it i'm sure an op will see you out. [06:33] abhijain: no worries [06:33] aetaric, I saw it and apologize [06:33] greezmunkey, i tried reinstalling it for several times already, including trying 64-bit version. thank for you help [06:34] sam_2007: open a console, go to the directory you dl'd it to, type "chmod +x filename", press enter, then "./PaperBusrestofthefilename [06:34] sam_2007, you first need to make the file executable either by right clicking and adjusting the properties or via console, [06:34] I resurrected an old inspiron 8000, 192MB RAM, ati rage m4 128, 60 GB hdd. It all works, internet, wireless, sound - dog meat slow though! [06:34] brous-kee Once more I have no idea what this should look like: http://pastebin.com/irvfHDT8 [06:34] I've been on this problem for over a month -- FF dies, soon after reboot acd system freeze? I gave up on this and was bandaging but not again! Ubuntu-9.1 [06:34] 10.04 that is... [06:34] hello ,gays [06:35] how to i ajust it? [06:35] adjust [06:35] tripelb: try 10.04 [06:35] luoky hi gay ~ [06:35] Mathuin, grub don't read raid it read the first device UUID [06:35] tripelb: I had the same issue. I installed chromium-browser [06:35] sam_2007, either by right clicking and adjusting the properties or via console, [06:35] nog: thanks, the system is back up [06:35] sam_2007: open a console, go to the directory you dl'd it to, type "chmod +x filename", press enter, then "./PaperBusrestofthefilename" [06:35] greezmunkey: Nice. You might do better with a distro meant for older computers though. IIRC Puppy Linux was pretty decent, or it might've been Damn Small... there's a bunch out there based on Ubuntu. [06:35] ok.. bilet hold on ... ill try that. [06:35] DaveSiberia: sweet man, [06:36] thak looks okay to me [06:36] by console u mean terminal right???? [06:36] taroven: I think I'll dump some ram in it, and see what it does. [06:36] sam_2007: yes [06:36] IdleOne: howdy bud :) [06:36] for old boxes, i just use my oldest ubuntu disc...5 [06:36] wildbat: why might I be getting "invalid argument" errors when mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/38b... on /root ? [06:36] nog: booting into a recovery kernel (or even an older version of the kernel) is a great tool for fixing problems like what you had [06:36] ok one moment... :D [06:36] haha.. whoa.. [06:37] greezmunkey: Heh, throw a gig in there if it'll support it, just for the lulz? [06:37] DaveSiberia: booting into a recovery kernel (or even an older version of the kernel) is a great tool for fixing problems like what you had [06:37] Mathuin any details?~ [06:37] taroven: for the lutz of it :) why not! [06:37] wildbat: that's the first error after waiting 10-15 seconds at the grub2 black screen and flashing prompt. [06:37] heya geekphreak :) [06:37] DaveSiberia: one really nice thing about linux.... VERY seldom will you ever have to do a fresh install, there is always a way to fix it [06:37] I love fresh installs tho. :'( [06:38] greezmunkey: Reminds me of the time I put 8.10 on a 486DX... Good times. [06:38] Ubuntu doesnt recognize my inbuilt notebook webcam, any ideas guys? [06:38] taroven: if you bill by the hour, sure... [06:38] i cant open desktop [06:38] idleone I have chrome. So I'll try using only chrome [06:38] Mathuin: Always, good sir. Always. [06:38] nog: if it was windows my data would have been toast! [06:38] aetaric how will 10.04 help me? I thought it was best to wait a while on new releases. [06:39] nog: i will read up on recovery kernels [06:39] tripelb: FF is nice but has issues. took a little time for me to get used to chrome/chromium but like it much better now [06:39] badblocks checks and marks blocks on a hard drive and you can use it if the hard drive has ntfs too , right? [06:39] sam_2007, it's Desktop not desktop [06:39] no wonder [06:39] hah [06:39] tripelb: i'm running 10.04 now. no issues with it. [06:39] I do like chrome IdleOne - I wish it had the noflash option. uses less bandwidth. but I can cope [06:40] even on a macbookpro [06:40] DaveSiberia: i dont know if you use the cli much, but reading up on that is most important if you dont use it [06:40] Mathuin, idk may be you pastbin the grub.cfg and you UUID info ? [06:40] Hey guys, I just upgraded to 10.04. I am wondering why the close, minimize, maximize buttons are to the left instead of the right? [06:40] geekphreak: sudo kill is not working [06:40] Yo yo yo [06:40] DaveSiberia: if you know how to work in the cli, if you can get the computer to a cli you can fix anything [06:40] !controls > elzoog [06:40] elzoog, please see my private message [06:40] elzoog, I can help you with that [06:40] I had to reinstall 10.04 a billion times for it to finally work [06:40] tripelb: you may as well get through the pain now, if you have a bit of time. I upgraded this one without any major issues, not to menting the old laptop install - all good. [06:40] haha [06:40] aetaric, good to hear that. I've got an old PC .. amd [06:40] brous-kee What does the manual mount command look like? Would that help? [06:40] greezmunkey, thanks. [06:40] i'm sorry. [06:40] how can i install flash player on amd63 ubuntu 10.4 ??? [06:40] wildbat: if this trip through rescue doesn't fix it, I'll try that. [06:40] 64* [06:40] abhijain: sudo kill PID , read man pages [06:40] elzoog, hit alt + f2 to get the run box and type gconf-editor [06:40] DaveSiberia: Been running Linux and Windows alongside for years. After losing data and an annoying number of hard-to-find programs/scripts, I took to the habit of portable installs and keeping EVERYTHING on the second drive and backed up. =P [06:41] tripelb: iirc it does have flashblock or something similar as addon [06:41] Tripleb: use a light de like lxde or fluxbox for lightness [06:41] speaker icon is missing in tray, how do it restore it? [06:41] thak man mount please and i believe it has a sample command there n the man pages [06:41] i have a fast desktop and a slow laptop that I want to use as an X Terminal. I know I can do X11 forwarding for single apps, but is there a way to forward an entire Gnome desktop? [06:41] brous-kee sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 doesn't work, but could I do something similar to recognize the disk? [06:41] taroven: looks like I need a second partition [06:42] Olson: after the config editor then what? [06:42] bcgrown: i think you can if you open gdm? [06:42] Dhbiker: install flashplugin-nonfree for 32bit+64bit wrapper or download the 64bit linux plugin and put the .so in you browsers plugin folder [06:42] Are all the block sizes in NTFS a size of 4096 kb? [06:42] dhbiker, try using Ubuntu Software Center to search for Adobe Flash [06:42] DaveSiberia: In the absence of a second hard drive, ALWAYS keep a data partition. [06:42] bytes i mean [06:42]
ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed in vmware player 3.01 won't let me login [06:42] sp0spo: by default yes. [06:42] aetaric: gdm on which pc? [06:42] thak-> off hand i cant remember, but that looks okay of a command [06:42] why is sun-java not in the repos anymore? [06:42] elzoog, hit alt + f2 to get the run box and type gconf-editor. find apps -> metacity -> general and then button layout. Change it to menu:minimize,maximize,close [06:42] Thak: run: cat /etc/fstab ,the optical drive will be named. Might work: sudo mount -a [06:43] i know there's icedtea, but it's being buggy [06:43] DaveSiberia: I keep just about nothing on my Windows partition, even less on Linux, and everything else on the second drive. [06:43] Ubuntu doesnt recognize my inbuilt notebook webcam, any ideas guys? [06:43] !java | cyphase [06:43] cyphase: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository (!partner repository in Lucid) [06:43] ActionParsnip Would it be /dev/scd0 or /media/cdrom0? [06:43] bcgrown: ummm instead of running an app like you are try running the program gdm over the X11 forward [06:43] mcsenna, first you got to tell us make and model. [06:43] Mcsenna: run: lsusb ,websearch for the 8 character hex id fore the camera [06:44] ah, partner.. thanks ActionParsnip [06:44] Thanks Olson [06:44] What keyboard shortcut will open the conversation applet in the panel? I know that Windows key + S opens the seession applet, but what kombination opens the chat/twitter applet? [06:44] Thak: mount -a attempts to mount everything in fstab [06:44] fireking300 its an acer orbicam does that help? [06:44] and speaking of java.. why is the plugin finder in firefox not working? [06:44] elzoog, no probs :) [06:44] DaveSiberia: when it comes to data preservation, i actually run 2 seperate hdd's one holds my /home directory, the other is the actual system.. so i can wipe and reload the system without losing data === Sp0t is now known as Sp0t_away [06:44] Olson: Why did they put them on the left side to begin with? [06:44] aetaric: i'm guessing i want to be out of X and at a regular command line before i try that? [06:45] mcsenna, if you can find model of the obricam that would help [06:45] Cyphas: log a bug. You can symlink the .so file to your browsers plugin folder and it will work [06:45] ty ActionParsnip and Jacen [06:45]
ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed in vmware player 3.01 won't let me login , Always prompt authentication failed [06:45] nog: hear hear [06:45] No problem dhbike [06:45] brous-kee: whats the default mount location for a usb hard drive? === acooda is now known as acooda3 [06:45] ActionParsnip, the plugins work, it's the plugin finder that's not working [06:45] Fireking300: Sorry mate hats well above me, any other ideas === acooda3 is now known as acooda[Su-woon] [06:45] morning folks [06:45] nog: I went into the update manager, some packets are corrupt, the packet manager won't let me update them [06:45] Dl: boot to root recovery mode (hold shift at boot) then run: passwd yourusername [06:46] Hutch[S]: Take a look in /media/ [06:46] Cyphase: is that some firefox thing? [06:46] taroven: just see floppy and floppy0 [06:46] mcsenna, thats the only way I can see the webcam model. so i got no ideas [06:46] IdleOne, I can check about chrome and flashblock (the neat thing is you can activate any flash when you want to. (what's iirc?) [06:46] So, why did they put the buttons on the left to begin with? [06:46] Hutch[S]: Hm. Is it not auto-mounting when you plug it in? [06:46] elzoog, I believe they liked the way the mac looks [06:46] ActionParsnip That didn't mount even a regular CD... I think it might mount something once if I restart, but do you know what might stop things from working? [06:46] ActionParsnip, yea. it's always worked for me, but it's not in lucid [06:46] wildbat, reinstalling grub didn't help [06:46] tripelb: if i recall correctly [06:46] tripelb: iirc == if I recall correctly [06:47] taroven: naw, i did a minimal CLI install, i need usb drivers? [06:47] Dl: you can then set your password. You may have to boot back and make sure you own all of your home folder [06:47] Hutch[S]-> there is none really, you can modify the udev rules for those .. look under /etc/udev/rules.d [06:47] Hi everyone - I was hoping you all could help me. I'm actually running off the Lucid 10.04 Live CD right now because I can't get into the actual operating system. I had just finished putting all my files back in their folders, updating all my programs, and then all of the sudden it froze, and I got stuck at a blank screen. Now, everytime I boot into 10.04, I get a blank screen either... [06:47] ...immediately or within 10-15, EVEN in Failsafe GNOME. Any ideas? [06:47] elzoog, also.. it actually makes some sense if you have the show desktop on the left, to also have the window controls on the left as well [06:47] Hutch[S], prolly. [06:47] is there some good way to _de_install the kde4 desktop environment again? I've had a look at it and decided kde4 is still too broken to work with [06:47] bcgrown: well i would do it that way.... [06:47] Also, why is that that when I boot, the message "Starting..." sits there for some time? It seems like the computer is hanging at that point [06:47] taroven: apt-get install usb ? [06:47] Thak: check the output of: dmesg ,for hints [06:47] DaveSiberia: whats the exact errors you are getting? [06:47] elnur, grub 2or 1? [06:47] Fireking300: Ok understand, but all I know is is inbuilt into the screen top and is an acer aspire368 [06:47] nog: I get could not update system first correct errors in packets [06:47] Cyphase: I haven't used firefox in ages dude. All I can say is log a bug [06:47] elzoog, but I just guess. it's the first thing I changed back as well [06:47] wildbat, 2 [06:48] nog: I get: could not update system first correct errors in packets [06:48] brous-kee: a BIOS upgrade fixed the network issues, fyi. not sure why the old bios worked fine under Karmic and not under Lucid, though. [06:48] aetaric: ok i'll have to try this! [06:48] ActionParsnip, yea, i was just saying :) [06:48] DaveSiberia: ok, hold on.. checking something [06:48] elnur, try 1 then [06:48] Hutch[S]: No idea honestly. [06:48] brous-kee: ah ok, i did a minimal CLI install with just sudo apt-get install xorg xterm gdm icewm menu firefox gksu synaptic --no-install-recommends. i need to get usb drivers? if so, how? [06:48] arvind_khadri: howdy sir [06:48] Hutch[S]: You likely have some digging to do. [06:48] I'm going to assume that my issue is too generic to address, eh? :P [06:48] IdleOne, I found it, clickflash This extension removes flash elements and replaces them with a clickable element [06:49] geekphreak, m fine, how are you :) [06:49] wildbat, i'll try it as a last resort. thank you. for now gonna try a solution from this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466337 [06:49] nog: I am in synaptic manager with the filter for packets with mistakes [06:49] arvind_khadri: all's well ;) [06:49] corrrection: IdleOne, I found it, kill-flash This extension removes flash elements and replaces them with a clickable element [06:49] tripelb: on your way to freedom from FF [06:50] IdleOne, and how it does not free up memory. IMHO [06:50] Kawiii: use live cd to reinstall grub2. You can also chroot to the installed system to see what state the packages are in [06:50] brous-kee: no response on lsmid | grep ftdi_sio or sudo modprobe ftdi_sio [06:50] mcsenna, I looked but i couldnt find any solutions [06:50] It seems that linux is sort of going the way of windows in the sense of adding features that you don't really want [06:50] tripelb: I don't believe memory usage is a decent reason to switch off from firefox unless you're running on an extremely low-end system. [06:51] ActionParsnip: Can you explain how I'd reinstall Grub from the Live CD, by chance? [06:51] Fireking300: Ok thanks anyway for trying [06:51] Elzoog: ubuntu is, many others dont [06:51] elzoog, it was ubuntu's choice to arrange it like that to be fair [06:51] IdleOne, I'd like to use a newsgroup reader. Prolly in a shell. I used to use them but I forgot the name of one. trs ? and one other. [06:51] !grub2 | kawiii [06:51] kawiii: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:51] oh great now aptitude search for anything gives 0 results [06:51] Hutch[S]-> umm i did not give you those commands, what are you seeking? [06:51] brous-kee: to see if usb drivers are installled and working [06:51] Olson: How is moving the buttons to the left fair? [06:51] Faploid: run: sudo apt-get update [06:51] taroven my computer freezes and I do believe it is linked to using flash, prolly in firefox. I'm going to test it by using only chrome. [06:51] DaveSiberia: any luck that way? [06:52] wildbat: I think I know the problem. For whatever reason, the raid array isn't being recognized as a raid array. I have to restart it each and every time with mdadm. I'm truly in hell. [06:52] Elzoog: mac do it, so why not [06:52] progress [06:52] tripelb: apt-cache search newsreader might give some results [06:52] tripelb: Ah. [06:52] ActionParsnip: I'm looking at the "Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD" section of the article, yes? [06:52] elzoog, It's not for me to say if it's fair or not. What is fair is that Ubuntu chose to release the gnome desktop with buttons on the left. It's up to them. [06:52] Hutch[S]-> dmesg should show if its loaded i think [06:52] IdleOne, oh cool. I didnt know that command. [06:53] nog: no. Looking at the properties it seems none of the damaged packets are essential [06:53] Olson: Sort of like it's up to Windows if they want to make a bloated and slow operating system like Vista right? [06:53] Hutch[S]-> or it will indicate that it is loaded and functioning === infogulch1 is now known as infogulch [06:53] elzoog, though, as you can see it's easily fixed, as most things are [06:53] IdleOne, tin is what I used to like [06:53] nog: is there a way to remove them, them reinstall? === TannerF is now known as TannerF-zzz [06:53] Kawiii: makes sense doesn't it :) [06:53] elzoog, yeah. Like that. [06:54] ActionParsnip: Shhh - I'm bad with command lines and stuff. I just wanna make sure I'm copy and pasting from the right place. :) [06:54] Olson: Yeah, easily fixed. I don't know about you though, but I like actually using my computer, not fixing bugs on my computer. [06:54] My problem with USB flash drives has reappeared after some days after reinstalling Lucid [06:54] Elzoog: it can all be fixed as linux is very maleable [06:54] elzoog: It's insanely easy to switch the buttons back to the right side if you dislike them that way. Personally I was doing just fine with them that way until I got around to installing my usual emerald theme, at which point I found that I really didn't mind either way. [06:54] I need real help. I rm'd etc/samba and reinstalling it (even as root) will not re-install the folder! [06:54] I insert a USB flash drive and nothing happens, not even the creation of /dev/sd* [06:54] hello there, I've just installed lucid lynx - upgraded from karmic koala, and i have a problem. when booting the computer grub doesnt seem to work. it says error: the symbol grub_puts not found [06:54] Kawiii: if you read and it makes sense then it is quite possibly right [06:54] elzoog, I think it wasn't a bug, more a feature you didn't like :P [06:55] Anyone could help me fix this problem? I also have windows installed on this box but i never use it anyway, so i dont even mind if i lose that entry on the grub menu [06:55] elzoog, and if you'd like to compile and build your own linux O/S... [06:55] DaveSiberia: yes, in synaptic you should be able to find the packages that it lists and choose reinstall... or in the cli (my preferred way) apt-get --reinstall [06:55] Being easy to fix is not the point. There was no good reason for me to have to fix it in the first place. At the very least, it should have asked me if I wanted the buttons that way [06:55] Elzoog: ubuntu always comes with firefox which I hate but I can remove that. Just like the buttons in metacity [06:55] anyone a kde pro? (i know #kubuntu exists, but not getting an answer there). is there a launcher menu editor anywhere that might work in the netbook KDE? [06:56] Barridus: kmenuedit [06:56] brous-kee: dmesg seems to have found the usb hard drive. just wondering where it is mounted, so i can access the files [06:56] evol_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/509797 [06:56] elzoog, things change sometimes. [06:56] nog: I'll try that [06:56] Action: I don't mind firefox (even though it is a resource hog) because I don't have to spend a lot of time getting it to work. [06:56] hey guys i got an issue here. [06:56] ActionParsnip: May I ask why the Grub loader would be the issue? I'm able to reach the login screen, it's just when I type the login in, I get the blank screen. === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [06:56] brous-kee: says device found at 3 [06:56] Hutch[S]-> mount command will tell you if it i smounted [06:56] taroven, i will try this now but i have already tried several fixes that i found online and none seems to be working. [06:56] Kawiii: bad postinst process maybe. Not sure [06:57] I have a dell inspiron mini with 804 running on it. this is the pre net book remix versioin of the dell mini. [06:57] Kawiii: never had the isuue [06:57] Olson: Just so I know, what were some more things that you had to fix when you upgraded? [06:57] I have a question: I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop and desktop. I have the "Me Menu" on my laptop, but I don't have it on my desktop (probably due to old settings in my home directory). How can I enable it? Thanks! [06:57] i want to upgrade it to 10.04 but i am not getting the upgrade distro option. [06:57] evol_: I was mainly referring to the second post in there by Felix, who explains the error. [06:57] ActionParsnip, thank you! i knew i remembered your name from my last KDE attempts XD [06:57] brous-kee: doesnt seem to be mounted [06:57] ActionParsnip++ thanks [06:57] taroven, yeah i just noticed it. let me see. [06:58] now the repos for apt all point to some specific dell repositorys. what do i have to do to upgrade this to 10.04? [06:58] Barridus: total guess dude. I guess kde honour the menu like gnome does with their NBR [06:58] Hutch[S]-> then it is not, [06:58] no help? [06:58] Faploid: huh? [06:58] * LucidFox waits for attention [06:58] elzoog, I erm.. "fixed" it by switching to debian .. but.. I probably shouldn't mention that here. The main problem was with audio and the pulseaudio subsystem - but that may not affect you at all. === jussi^ is now known as incd [06:58] What advantages in upgrading to10.04 anyone got an opinion? [06:58] Ggervais: right click panel-> add item [06:58] brous-kee: how do i mount then? fdisk -l doesnt show it either [06:59] brous-kee: ah nvm, /dev/sdb [06:59] mcsenna: one bad thing...ati drivers are broke(last i heard) [06:59] Hutch[S]-> can you give me the background story, i dont think i recall what you said earlier [06:59] ActionParsnip: Assuming that it's not a GRUB issue (I'm in the middle of updating it anyway), do you have any other suggestions? [06:59] Mcsenna: later kernel supports new hardware for one. I'd search for: lucid lynx what's new [06:59] Olson: Looks like audio works. Was able to open an mp3 file. Question is, will firefox hog the audio output like it usually does [07:00] Hello, I'm trying to install 10.04, after selecting "Install Ubuntu" in grub loader, I get BusyBox prompt saying: (initramfs): mount mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument [07:00] ive seen 10.04 on this machine it works great..i just cant figure out why i cant upgrade to it [07:00] Kawiii: you could remove the newest kernel from the system if you have multiple kernels [07:00] evol_: Looking again at that post, looks like exactly what you're looking for. Just follow the guide linked and you should be in business. [07:00] Thanks guys [07:00] incd: did you a test md5sum on the iso? [07:00] you can check ntfs in linux using ntfsresize and -fi /dev/device right? [07:00] taroven, already on it [07:00] elzoog, your experience may be different to mine. My computer is very old. Firefox hogs more stuff dependant on the plugins you have [07:00] how meta, i had to create a shortcut to kmenuedit via kmenuedit [07:00] sp0spo: for errors? [07:01] evol_: Great, lemme know how it goes. [07:01] The only other thing I have noticed so far that I don't like, is it says "starting..." when I boot and then hangs there for a minute. I can't tell whether it is really starting, or whether it is hanging. [07:01] Grendel_prime: what is the output of: lsb_release -c [07:01] nog: I found an option in synaptic manager to do a repeat install [07:01]
I can't type password use keyboard in ubuntu log in screen in wmware player [07:01] !upgrade | grendel_prime [07:01] grendel_prime: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:01] geeek, filesystem errors, yes [07:01] ActionParsnip: I don't recall having installed a new kernel - I downloaded the latest 10.04 off the website yesterday, burned it, and installed it today. I do recall installing two updates before the blank screen errors occured though. Maybe those could be the issues? [07:01] any of you use badblocks to check for bad sectors in linux ... even on ntfs systems? [07:01] I wouldn't recommend upgrading, I'd recommend a fresh install [07:01] Dl: i'd ask in #vmware sounds like the keyboard settings are bad [07:01] sp0spo: i would recommened using windows tool for ntfs :d [07:01] it runs so much faster [07:01] elzoog, yeah, that's ubuntu trying to make it less "flashy" and smooth when boooting up. I fyou want to see the kernel messages you can press escape [07:02] DaveSiberia: cool.. i still suggest learning the cli [07:02] Also, it doesn't seem like Ubuntu has upgraded Openoffice. Not that it's much of a problem. [07:02] im having this problem every time i want to install software with synaptic... http://paste.ubuntu.com/425697/ [07:02] but how do I get back a filesystem folder I deleted (rm'd deleted!) [07:02] Kawiii: use: dpkg -l | grep linux-image ,to see if you have multiple kernels [07:02] When I plug a USB flash drive, the only udevadm output I get is http://paste.ubuntu.com/425698/ [07:02] before, it used to be veeeery long [07:02] hello [07:02]
keyboard settings are bad ,what ever I typed it is blank [07:02] and it used to see the drive [07:02] as early as tomorrow [07:02] thanks, it worked! [07:02] Olson: I would rather see a progress bar, or something telling me that it's doing something rather than hanging. [07:02] it was "Indicator Panel" or something like that === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [07:03] elzoog, you can upgrade Oo.org manually or you have to wait for members to build and test it for the latest ubuntu build then get accepted in to the repositories. [07:03] brous-kee: alrite, i have a dell c400 with an old intel graphics driver and it looks all wonky in 10.04. can i install an old version or something? [07:03] Elzoog: its on 3.2 which is the latest. There's the sribblers ppa (I think its named that) but I don't think you will get any love for a while [07:03] the_e, here are options, but they are not pretty, google ubuntu data recovery, and you'll see what I mean. [07:03] elzoog, but yah.. i know what you mean about the boot [07:03] any hacker here? [07:03] ActionParsnip: 2.6.32-21-generic (2.6.32-21.32) and generic (2.6.32.21.22 [07:03] ) [07:03] the_e: there [07:03] Olson: Yeah, but why is the newest version of Ubuntu using the same version as the old one? [07:03]
but after I logged in use onscreen keyboard ,my physical keyboard works again [07:03] How can i make inactive windows' titlebars transparent so it's easier to tell which window is active? [07:03] kungfuman, why? O.o [07:03] but the thing is...shouldn't reinstalling samba reinstall /etc/samba too? [07:04] Kawiii: bah. Try some bootoptions then [07:04] does 10.4 work with the new core i5/i3 intels? [07:04] ActionParsnip: Boot options meaning? [07:04] Flynsarmy: you could use emerald if its still around. There may be a theme for it [07:04] funkycat90210: i am on i5 intel [07:04] elzoog, because the community hasn't got round to building the latest version for release in the repositories yet. If you'd like to help out, there is a place to go on the website where you could devote some of your time to helping the project [07:04] Fireking300, just asking. Some time i see they talk in #hackergroup [07:04] the_e, No. To do that, you need to do a complete removal and then reinstall. [07:05] !bootoptions | kawiii [07:05] kawiii: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [07:05] Hutch[S]-> am in ubuntu 8.10 myself, i have not touched the 10's yet [07:05] !ot | kungfuman [07:05] kungfuman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:05] thats really, really poor design [07:05] the_e, That is really good design, actually. [07:05] geekphreak, how recent is your i5? [07:05] ActionParsnip, I want to keep everything about hte default theme the same other than the inactive window titlebars. don't want a new theme [07:05] the_e: you probably need to remove / purge it then reinstall to do that... [07:05] I did! [07:06] funkycat90210: i month old, so pretty new mate on 10.4 here [07:06] I removed AND purged samba and reinstalled it [07:06] even as root [07:06] and it still wont create the folder again [07:06] or create the files [07:06] Flynsarmy: emerald only changes the window decorator. I'm unsure how supported it is though [07:06] geekphreak, nice, so you have the new 32nm technology w/ integrated gpu so mine should work [07:06] geekphreak, phew all this grub2 seems a lot more involved ... all I want to do is change existing entry pointing @ (hd0,6) to (hd0,1) [07:06] elzoog, it's worth remembering that linux is free and relies on people devoting their spare time to make it better [07:06] elzoog: OOO 3.2.0 is a very new release, as far as operating system timelines go. Using a previous, known-to-be-stable version is par for the course for both Ubuntu and Debian. [07:06] hey all, i just upgraded to 10.4, and when i start "empathy" it opens the "import accounts" dialogue! eek! what happened to my IM accounts? anyone know where empathy stores settings? [07:06] it's poor design because purging/removing samba doesn't delete the conf files [07:06] funkycat90210: yup [07:06] ActionParsnip, would it mess with compiz? [07:06] the_e: exactly what commands did you use? [07:07] The_e: I believe /etc/samba is present even if samba is not [07:07] sudo apt-get purge (and remove) samba [07:07] taroven, grub will not install on sda3 [07:07] then sudp apt-get install samba [07:07] I posted my question on the forums. Hopefully, hopefully, someone will know what to do. :-( :-( :-( [07:07] geekphreak: unable all process . also reboot . the synaptic package manage given error :You have 1 broken package on your system! [07:07] Use the "Broken" filter to locate it. unable to quit from synaptic manager [07:07] Flynsarmy: no, compiz is required and compiz is a window manager [07:07] Hi! I upgraded to lucid. Problem is that the screen is black during boot. This applies to an intel gma and an old enough radeon [07:07] im in synapic now downloading things related to samba with the Ubuntu logo next to it. I assume those are the standard packages on the install [07:07] pvh_sa|wrk, were you using Empathy previously? [07:07] the_e, that is a good thing. But, I don't think I will persuade you. It saves a lot of work for people, usually. [07:07] abhijain: does it give sudo apt-get -f install option ? [07:07] taroven, and im starting to get pissed off, i might just format everything and reinstall the OS [07:08] Vimbai: /highfive - we have similar issues. [07:08] speaker icon is missing in tray, how do it restore it? [07:08] we'll have to disagree [07:08] :P [07:08] Vimba: try reinstalling plymouth and / or log a bug [07:08] agree to disagree* [07:08] geekphreak: no [07:08] the_e, sure. [07:08] evol_: Yikes. Before doing that though, what's your setup? How many drives, etc? === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [07:08] abhijain: whats the package? [07:09] can someone explain to me how from one release to the next things break? - Is this the universal model for Linux distros, that with every new release you are back to square one and it's a toss-up whether or not what worked previously will work now? [07:09] elzoog, taroven debian squeeze has OO.Org 3.2.0 [07:09] sun-java6 [07:09] Kawiii: any ideas so far? [07:09] abhijain: uninstall it for now please [07:10] Wildbat: in terminal type: gnome ,then press tab a few times. If you spot something that smells right press ALT+F2 and run it there [07:10] geekphreak: he can't it's broken. sudo apt-get install -f [07:10] taroven, well I have two HDD, and they're split into several partitions. i have two for storage, a ext2 (linux), an ext4 (swap) and a windows one [07:10] Zenity seem to use one of the items in my checklist if there is only one item in the list. If I only have one item and leave it unchecked, why do Zenity belive it's chosen anyway? [07:10] zetheroo, That happens sometimes, but I rarely see it. So, I can't explain something that does not happen regurly. Bad karma, maybe? [07:10] ActionParsnip I fixed a small hardware message that I saw in dmesg, but it still does the same thing. Can you look at this and suggest a next step for making it recognize CDs? http://pastebin.com/fBQZbQJs [07:10] IdleOne: right [07:10] Olson: ...just now I checked the version, I hadn't looked myself [07:11] abhijain: run that command sudo apt-get -f install [07:11] Hi i need some help installing this program that is in tar format plz help [07:11] geekphreak: also if Synaptic is frozen he needs to killall synaptic or the sudo command won't work either [07:11] geekphreak: after uninstallation [07:11] elzoog: What crack are you smoking? 3.2 is the latest stable release of OOO, do you expect a LTS Ubuntu release to come with betas and RCs? [07:11] IdleOne: i did tell him to reboot mate [07:11] zetheroo: Regressions always happen, all boils down to how long you take to fix them, a rolling releas gives it no time, ubuntu gives it some time, debian stable gives it ages... [07:11] geekphreak: ahh ok :) [07:11] PythonPup: I have 4 laptops and 2 desktops all running Ubuntu here ... and with each new release there is at least one machine which will loose some prior function after upgrading ... usually it's more than one computer .... so I don't think "karma" has anything to do with it - ha [07:12] abhijain: so its uninstalled? [07:12] Thak: seems ok to me, try websearching the dmesg lines. See if anyone has the same. Can you mount other optical media? [07:12] ActionParsnip, nothing smeel right >.< [07:12] evol_: Where are linux and windows installed relative to eachother? Different drives, or same drive? [07:12] randal, You usually take apart a tar file with a command like tar -xvf filename.tar Instructions for installing are included, by convention in a readme file. [07:12] zetheroo, upgrade does occasionally breaks something here 2. so i dont upgrade anymore [07:12] taroven, same drive === Sp0t_away is now known as Sp0t [07:13] geekphreak: in progress [07:13] zetheroo: Also, if that is the case, you should participate in prerelease testing, report bugs and make sure it's all fixed by the release ;) [07:13] Wildbat: not sure then, maybe someone else can contribute [07:13] evol_: The plot thickens further... [07:13] ActionParsnip I get a different busy inodes message from a CD [07:13] arand: so is it a matter of the Ubuntu team (for example) changing/updating/replacing packages and thinking "oh well, this will probably f**k things up for some people.... but heck ... "? [07:13] python ya im trying to install dolphin gc emulator [07:13] abhijain: ok mate [07:13] ActionParsnip, np thanks ^^ i may not have the command installed thpu ~ ut no idea what is that ;p [07:13] Hi, everyone. Can I replace the "unlink" command in this tutorial with "rm"? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [07:14] Wildbat: or volume and press tab a few times, in terminal... [07:14] zetheroo, So, 1 out of thousands of packages has a problem during an upgrade on one of a batch of machines. That sounds like a pretty good record. I have better luck than that and I manage 30 machines, but one problem does not seem too bad. [07:14] arand: this particular issue was sounded off before the official release ... I don't think it really makes a difference [07:14] zetheroo: It's either that or not upgrade anything at all, they can't possibly test everything. [07:14] Hii all, Just did a fresh install of lucid lynx on my system. However the problem is , while I am able to add my twitter accounts etc in gwibber, (through the memenu and even gwibber itself), it actually does not show any messages , in there. I have refreshed the gwibber app umpteen times but still no, gwibber does not show any mesages....although when i tried with live cd everything was working properly.. someone please help [07:14] Wildbat: search software centre. It may help [07:14] ActionParsnip, volname is the only match ;p [07:15] Hi all, how to rename all files in a folder (from uppercase to lowercase)? [07:15] vishalparkar, install krename [07:15] Hi! I upgraded to lucid. Problem is that the screen is black during boot. This applies to an intel gma and an old enough radeon [07:15] arand: not 'everything' but is there no quality control that says "make sure that what was working previously is still going to work"? - obviously not ... [07:15] just do [07:15] evol_: Before doing anything drastic, give this a try if you haven't already - http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [07:15] arand: Is that why they call this a "community", because we *help* each other?!? [07:15] vishalparkar, I'd write a python script to do that. Be careful that there are no name conflicts. [07:16] Thanks [07:16] zetheroo: We as the community are supposed to provide that quality control ;) [07:16] Pl let me know how to [07:16] ActionParsnip I don't have that much optical media with me, but I get the same thing with a CD and 3 DVD-RWs [07:16] vishalparkar, krename will do it with a nice GUI for you [07:16] evol_: That, btw, is linked from http://forums.skyfallgames.com/index.php?topic=131.0 - May or may not wholly apply, but worth a shot and won't destroy much/anything. [07:16] in UNR 9.10, nautilus is hanging when copying from mounted CIFS shares. Any help would be appreciated. [07:16] taroven, when it comes to point where im meant to choose where to install it, shouldnt that be my linux partition? [07:16] ActionParsnip: Just reloaded and checked the OS - no change. Do you think it could be a graphic related problem? I noticed that the loading Ubuntu screen (the purple one) is a distorted quality compared to the Live CD one, however, all graphics are normal at the login screen. [07:17] vishalparkar: for i in *; do mv -i "$i" "`echo "$i" | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`"; done [07:17] goodmorning. is there a way to "clean" my OS ? meaning repair maybe faulty links, remove unneeded packages etc [07:17] hii could someone please help me with gwibber [07:18] vivek_: i use pidgin for twitter, dont use gwibber [07:18] greezmunkey: Of course, canonical would hardly be able to make ubuntu by themselves right? [07:18] evol_: Honestly not sure. Gimme a sec to do more research. [07:18] vishalparkar, Use perl, if you are more comfortable with it. I am not going to be on long enough to do custom programming for you. It should be a short program. Probably 20 or 30 lines. [07:18] arand: absolutely they couldn't [07:18] evol_: I'm going to assume yes, but I don't muck with grub enough to be sure. [07:18] OK [07:19] arand: I guess what I am realising in the Linux world (and Open Source) is that we the users are the testers ... and there will probably never be a consistently functioning and dependable release ... it will always be "beta" or "testing" even after official release ... [07:19] Ubuntu Studio is only available as a alternate disk? No live dvd huh? [07:19] evol_: Correction. You'll want to install it directly to the MBR. [07:19] ActionParsnip changing the order of udf and iso9660 in the fstab seemed to fix the issue [07:20] vishalparkar: or you could use the one-liner i pasted [07:20] vishalparkar: i just tested it on some test files and it looks like it works, but ymmv [07:20] taroven, okay but now i don't exactly know where to choose when it asks me [07:20] evol_: So if your drive is sda1, you're installing to sda, NOT sda1 [07:20] zetheroo, There is no operating system that has no bugs. Linux has fewer than any of similar complexity. [07:20] oh [07:20] okay let me try [07:20] ActionParsnip brous-kee Thanks for your help! [07:20] evol_: Best of luck. [07:21] zetheroo, This is really off topic, so I'll stop responding on this. [07:21] PythonPup: it's not even about not having any NEW bugs ... but when the same issues continue to arise release after release ... it's not fun anymore [07:21] hi people! when booting, my splash-screen is really bad quality, like 480x600 or smth.. and it looks so bad. any ways to improve it?? [07:22] I mean, 640x480 =) [07:22] zetheroo: That all depends on how much time is allocated for the testing. The more time, the more stabe... Ubuntu is very quick in releases in my opinion at least.. [07:22] zetheroo: By nature, open source is more stable than closed source. Closed source, if you get a bug you're stuck with it. Open, you're not. [07:22] Any of you able to identify this icon: http://85.17.201.68/icon.png ? [07:22] thak your'e welcome [07:23] Deiz, shutter === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather === max is now known as Guest58669 [07:23] I'm bicurious [07:23] arand: do me a favor, please run grub --version, and post the result please. TIA [07:23] I like both windows and linux [07:23] Deiz: nope [07:23] arand: right ... so it's more or less that really to get a "better" Ubuntu experience you would upgrade maybe 3 months after the official release date [07:23] is ext4 more powerful than ExT3? [07:23] it's 1 more powerful than 3 [07:23] that's why it's 4 [07:24] !ext4 [07:24] darn [07:24] !ext4 [07:24] Is it possible to somehow use a original Windows 7 installation, system backup, recovery CD etc to install Windows inside VirtualBox in Ubuntu? [07:24] NO [07:24] taroven: don't know about "open source is more stable than closed source" part ... maybe in the long run ... but for those who like to keep things fresh and updated it's usually a nightmare ... [07:24] zetheroo: Would you not do the same with Windows? Most companies hold off updating to the next Windows release until the first service pack, which is usually a year down the line. [07:24] if you try I'm going to call the police [07:24] realubot: yes, [07:25] i just microwaved my windows 7 disks =) [07:25] realubot: oh recovery cd, my bad no [07:25] guys someone please help me with gwibber [07:25] man i need more coffee [07:25] taroven: no ... I started using Windows 7 in the week it was released ... and honestly .. no issues for me ... even on older hardware [07:25] geekphreak: it happens [07:25] hey, how can I use the "ALT+NUM" method in linux? i tried Ctrl+shift+U but the combinations are not the same, is that the only way? [07:25] progre55, there has been a kernel option in the past to set your screen resolution during boot. I don't know where to look for Plymouth. [07:25] h00k: htanks bud [07:25] greezmunkey: I've got no grub-legacy installed I'm afraid... [07:25] geekphreak: :D [07:25] vivek_: did it ever work? [07:25] zetheroo: And I started using Ubuntu 10.04 the day it was released with zero issues at all. [07:26] taroven: how many systems? [07:26] how can i resize ext4? [07:26] taroven, that would be yesterday, then. [07:26] zetheroo: Yea, and stick to LTS... [07:26] I just deleted my 200GB NTFS partition [07:26] geekphreak: it was working when i checked it with the live cd... help me resolve it.. i will buy you gallons of coffee:-) [07:26] geekphreak: I have red that it may be possible creating a system backup iso and then boot the recovery and then import the iso using the recovery CD in Virtual Box? [07:26] zetheroo: Three so far. Only a moderate niggle with the wrong sound card being selected on a netbook that happened to have a usb headset plugged in. [07:26] PythonPup: oh thanks.. [07:26] CytotoxicTCell: using gparted, but like with any partition bfore you proced , make backups [07:26] arand: well God forbid I would still be using 8.04 ... :P [07:26] arand: I ask because when i run it I get: grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) - seems odd, I should have the latest grub as of 9.10 here... [07:27] vivek_: lol thats kinda of you , [07:27] Can anyone help me with the nvidia hardware drivers on a fresh installation of ubuntu 10.04 64 bit edition? The display works correctly until I use the hardware drivers tool to install the nvidia-drivers for 3d support, after that I get a screeen resolution of 640x480 and the desktop is displayed as 6 copies which overlap each other slightly. [07:27] geekphreak: Then import the system backup iso in Virtual Box by booting Recovery CD in Virtual Box. The problem is that some people say that the EULA will be a problem? [07:27] zetheroo: See, that's why, you want the latest, hence you will also get the latest bugs that comes with it... [07:27] zetheroo: And mind you, most issues I've experienced with Linux have been immediately apparent. I run 'em through the ringer to make sure things are working as intended before handing computers off to the wife and kids. [07:27] taroven: good for you :) ... I have 6 system here ... 2 of which are having issues with Lucid ... [07:27] geekphreak: would you know how to resolve it [07:27] Hey everyone - I was talking to ActionParsnip earlier, but he seems to have gone. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 today, just finished moving my files back over and updating my programs and it worked fine up until a little while ago. I boot the system, get my BIOS screen, get a distorted Ubuntu logo with the dots telling me it's loading, and then the login screen. I login, and either immediately... [07:27] realubot: possibly [07:27] ...or within 10-15 seconds, I receive a blank screen where I can do nothing. (IE~ Pressing capslock does not cause the light to show up on the keyboard.) Does anyone have an suggestions on what I can do to correct this? [07:27] PythonPup: wow, but how to use it? ) === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [07:28] I'm trying to ask a question on #ubuntu-kernel, but I get "cannot send to channel". It doesn't appear to require +v; is there something else I need to do in order to speak there? [07:28] dutch release party today, right? [07:28] vivek_: i am not talking bout live cd, on installed system did it ever work, it could be just a bad setting mate [07:28] realubot, then you read the EULA and you will know by yourself. some version of vista (if not all) are forbidden to virtualise [07:28] greezmunkey: Yep, that's grub-legacy alright. Is this an upgrade from jaunty or earlier? [07:28] geekphreak:i installed lucid yesterday and since then it is not working... [07:28] blue-frog: Forbidden is not the same as impossible or possible for MS to detect. [07:29] can anyone tell me the terminal command to install the gui login screen for backtrack 4 [07:29] arand: well this is the thing right .. Ubuntu is released and people want to have the latest ... but if it's not fully tested why is it being released as a "stable" release? [07:29] arand: no, but I may have opted to use grub-legacy when I installed this - I honestly can't remember. I probably did, being used to lilo in the past... === gemini is now known as robotfactory [07:29] geekphreak: bad setting? where .. i cant see any thing there.. i can add my accounts and all but nothing comes up in gwibber [07:29] How can anything ever be 'fully' tested.. [07:29] progre55, I don't know. I'd look for Plymoth boot or similar on google. Before this release, you would add a kernel option for vga=791 or similar. [07:29] Will Virtual Box have different hardware info than the sam computer have when Windows 7 is instaleld default. [07:29] arand: it should be released every 6 months as a "testing" release and then every year there should be a "stable" release - That would be honest! [07:30] realubot, why not asking at ##windows then what do we have to do with your windows virtualisation problems? [07:30] vivek_: open account setting in gwibber , make sure send messages and recieve messages are ticked [07:30] hi all ... does anyone has a solution for the minimizing issue of 10.04? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9207776#post9207776 [07:30] can someone help me [07:30] blue-frog: Well, I want to run Win7 virtual in Ubuntu.

I'm running into lack of responses everywhere I go. [07:30] corrrection: IdleOne, I found it, kill-flash This extension removes flash elements and replaces them with a clickable element NOPE; not working well. I think there is also flashblock by the same as in ff. [07:30] greezmunkey: Well, you can always install the grub-legacy tools, that might be what you did? [07:30] arand: hey, as long as it boots, right! [07:30] arand: let me man -k that... [07:31] zetheroo: Release schedules are a pain like that. If Canonical decided to delay Ubuntu until it was perfect, we'd never see a release. [07:31] <[Screamo]> Can anyone help my with automaticly mounting harddrives? [07:31] geekphreak:it is already checked(both send and recieve messages) [07:31] arand: yup, sure looks like it..it's all good though [07:31] zetheroo: Well feel free to convince the techincal board ;) [07:31] taroven, No program is ever finished. It is only abandoned. [07:31] vivek_: try to delete the account, then recreate it [07:31] [Screamo]: You have read up on the proper use of the fstab? if not thats there to start.

[07:33] <[Screamo]> uhm [07:33] randal, have you installed the restricted-extras package? [07:33] <[Screamo]> you really dont remeber? [07:33] taroven, yes i have [07:33] taroven: not about perfection ... but it's common knowledge that in 6 months the Ubuntu team cannot test a great deal of things ... and an extra 6 months of testing would definitely improve the quality of the release ... [07:33] Please can someone help with the binary nvidia-drivers? I used the System > Administration > Hardware Drivers tool to install the nvidia drivers, but after reboot the display is set to 640x480, and 6 copies of the desktop are displayed on my screen overlapping each other slightly.

[07:50] morning [07:50] raj: I have used ubuntu for over 2 years now [07:50] raj: "Works for me" doesn't cut it when you know there are plenty of other people that have exactly zero problems with it. [07:50] raj what is your specific question? [07:50] dhruvasagar, go and try something else and you will see [07:50] raj: I can't say i've faced somet hickups, but things have been very good [07:50] vivek_: folder is hidden in naulius, press ctrl+h to view hidden files [07:50] winXPuser: it says can enable desktop effects when i try [07:51] <[Screamo]> hey Dr_Willis its asking: enable write support for internal device and external device [07:51] How are terminal windows transparent in the default hteme if edit - profile preferences - background is set to 'solid colour' ? is it a compiz option somehwere or what? [07:51] <[Screamo]> =/ [07:51] raj: something else ? like what ? don't say windows :P [07:51] Dr_Willis: please tell from where [07:51] [Screamo]: so enable them? [07:51] I had problems with installation and running it [07:51] just took a couple of reinstallations [07:51] dhruvasagar, debian / linux mint / fedora / pclinuxos mandriva.. or even opensuse [07:51] geekphreak: i m unable to install anything now . [07:51] Flynsarmy: I was kinda wondering that myself, I'll have to remind myself to take a look. [07:51] Dr_Willis: i have 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [07:51] <[Screamo]> Its not like it describes what they are exactly [07:51] ravenkhan: I use the hardware manager icon in the system menu to install the proper video card drivers for my machines. Then i can use all the compiz eyecandy [07:51] the only people who really face problems with ubuntu are those who are used to spoon feeding [07:51] It's free, and still a baby...you have to work with it [07:51] raj: Mint is based on Ubuntu. [07:51] ravenkhan: SiS? You proberly should just give up on compiz now... [07:51] the rewards a beautiful though [07:51] raj: fedora sucks imho [07:52] raj: If you've checked the bug report and there is no fix or workaround yet, you'll just have to be patient until get it fixed [07:52] what is krename? [07:52] Flynsarmy: solid colour should, i think just mean "not a pattern" but the colour can have an alpha channel (iirc) [07:52] winXPuser, my problem was the shutdown / restart bug in ubuntu 10.04 [07:52] ravenkhan: im not sure SiS has ANY 3d support in linux. [07:52] hi [07:52] Assuming that I mount sda1 on my Live CD, would I be able to move all the files from my Linux installation to my external HDD via the Live CD? [07:52] ravenkhan: That card is not capable of running compiz [07:52] Dr_Willis: dear there under hardware manager i have only for modem [07:52] Kawiii: yep [07:52] raj: Well, was, think they're doing the direct-to-Debian switch for some reason next release. [07:52] h00k: Thanks. [07:52] raj, what is the exact issue? can you not restart or can you not shutdown? [07:52] soreau: please suggest some other way then [07:52] ravenkhan: i do know sis is proberly one of the most problamtic video cards/chipsets/company out for linux. So it may not be doable. [07:53] taroven, no mint is an improvment over ubuntu.. based on it but doesnt do everything like it [07:53] abhijain: yes there is ok button there, click ok man [07:53] ravenkhan: To run compiz? Get an ati, nvidia or intel chipset made in this century [07:53] raj: Do you have any more support questions? [07:53] geekphreak: I am in .gconf/apps/gwibber.... which one do i change here.. there is a folder here client/%gconf.xml and an indivdual file %gconf.xml..... i know i know am being a pain [07:53] raj: also if there's no fix/workaround posted in the *ubuntu* bug report but its software for which ubuntu is not upstream, check upstream's bugtracker / version control system and see if they've got it fixed. if so, put a link to the commit in their version control (cvs, svn, git...) that fixed it into the ubuntu bug report [07:53] vivek_: you have to change the gwibber folder itself [07:53] maco, even if you click 'transparent background', set it to maximum then go back to 'solid colour' it just goes back to transparent when you click solid colour. i like it - was just wondering how it was done. it doesn't appear to be caused by the terminal preferences htemselves [07:53] geekphreak: its not working [07:53] soreau: is SIS out of this century? [07:53] Are one supposed to always have an ~/.Xauthority file? [07:53] raj: nothing anything like it before! [07:53] abhijain: use tab key to highlight ok man [07:53] WindPower, exactly when i restart/ shutdown it only logs out. i have to shut it from hadrware .. even from the terminal [07:54] geekphreak:okkk should i need to make a back up or somehitng [07:54] soreau: i asked for the suggestion for SIS not to change card dear [07:54] raj: The only real differences between Mint and Ubuntu are a few of the default programs, and Mint includes restricted packages by default. [07:54] Can someone help with installing 10.4 on a Proliant using SCSI [07:54] ravenkhan: I see dozens of 'sis' problems in here a week. and SiS is just sadly a company that does not support linux very well. [07:54] ravenkhan: No, but it's not of the aforementioned brand names ;) [07:54] vivek_: rename it to gwibber.bak [07:54] ravenkhan: You cannot run compiz on SiS. Period/ [07:54] Sis ? [07:54] raj: Laptop OR PC ? [07:54] geekphreak: no process after tab+ click [07:55] Dr_Willis: you are regular you might have solved or heard of the solution please help [07:55] dhruvasagar: yeah SIS please help [07:55] Anyway, I digress, it's time for bed. G'night/morning, peoples. [07:55] ravenkhan: there is no 'instant fix' and last i even checked there were several 100+ pages of 'sis' threads on the forums.. [07:55] ravenkhan: its verry VERY likely it cant do 3d so cant do compiz. [07:55] taroven, not really mint qrites their own programs to include. and fixes the bugs that ubuntu never fixes. try ubuntu vs mint of any computer .. ubuntu works 70% while mint works 90% [07:56] Has anyone got 10.4 installed on a Proliant [07:56] It's more than likely, it is a fact [07:56] taroven: are they doing it "free-of-charge"? [07:56] hi can someone help me. Have installed ubuntu 10.4. All working well except the internet connection keeps being dropped when using software centre. This occurs on wireless and wired connection. [07:56] raj: if you don't have any more questions, please stop advertizing mint here [07:56] h00k: I second that [07:56] ravenkhan: i would say check tghe forums for your Exact chipset and if its being worked on . the threads/pages at the end of the threads proberly mention how to do it. If its possible [07:56] Hi there, I have the problem that I don [07:56] hey guys, what was the name of that application for mac-like menu icons? [07:56] XanderX, its a laptop [07:56] geekphreak:no it did not help [07:56] dhruvasagar: do you know way out dear regarding SIS [07:56] Hmm, I'm installing Ubuntu from USB stick, I'm getting "Failed to copy file from CD-ROM. Retry?" in "Load installer components from CD" -par [07:56] progre55: globalmenus [07:56] t [07:56] raj: if you like mint, go to that channel [07:56] progre55: or somthing like that [07:57] ravenkhan: no sorry dude [07:57] Dr_Willis: ok . 771/671 is my card no.

[07:57] Dr_Willis: unetbootin and ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso [07:57] progre55: if you want a 'dock' use 'docky' its the dock of gnome-do split off.. [07:57] geekphreak: i think its a bug [07:57] raj: this is the wrong place to wait for mint [07:57] geekphreak:thanks a lot buddy ... and yeas sorry for all the trouble [07:57] incd: thats the issue. I dont think the server works with unetbootin. [07:57] can anyone tell me how to kill NetworkManager and keep it from returning? [07:57] no, just software centre, even small downloads [07:58] docky is the bomb! [07:58] Dr_Willis: ok thanks [07:58] vivek_: no need to be, you did great [07:58] raj: ATI comptibility is a real issue, try i Ubuntu 9.10 [07:58] dhruvasagar, no1 said anything about waiting .. i have a bug that is annoying me.

[07:58] incd: at least ive herd of it not working befor. its possible there may be a way to get it going.. but ive never looked into it [07:58] can anyone tell how can i upgrade from .iso of 10.04 from 9.10 [07:58] ok [07:58] XanderX, its nvidia and card work great [07:58] geekphreak:lol.. sounds good.. bye take care [07:58] can anyone tell how can i upgrade from .iso of 10.04 from 9.10 without losing my any settings or stuff [07:58] !upgrade | ravenkhan [07:58] ravenkhan, why not just download new ISO? [07:58] ravenkhan: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:58] downloaded opera using firefox, no problem. === SMIRNOFF is now known as Alisa [07:59] ravenkhan: i belive if you have the alt-installer iso - you can mount it.. and upgrade from it. but ive never done so. [07:59] dhruvasagar, untill mint comes out im on ubuntu [07:59] geekphreak: i need java and tomcat installation asap . [07:59] hi [07:59] Fireking300: yeah i have see my question [07:59] raj: Ubuntu 9.10 works great; got to try it. [07:59] raj: suit yourself [07:59] Anyone has idea why bash reponses to my key presses so slow? [07:59] ravenkhan, then you phrased your question wrong. [07:59] carae: and if you use "sudo apt-get install packagename" instead of the software centre? [07:59] Sami345 your ram & cpu? [07:59] Can someone who sees the volume control bottom on his top panel tell me what the related process is called? [07:59] CPU dual core 3.20 GHz [08:00] geekphreak: ping [08:00] RAM 4 Gt 1066 MHz [08:00] rbutler: it's in the Indicator Applet [08:00] how do i use that [08:00] Fireking300: i said can any1 tell how to upgrade from .iso of 10.04 in 9.10 system. GOT? [08:00] Hi h00k, how do I access it? I cannot add it, because it is not listed within the list of applets [08:01] carae: applications -> accessories -> terminal ... type in "sudo apt-get install" and then the name of the package you want to install. for example "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" [08:01] raj: ever heard of google ? [08:01] raj: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=1859 [08:01] raj: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/42160 [08:01] !google > dhruvasagar [08:01] XanderX, yeah .. sure but i have to compile the new alsa.. then disable the power save option on it to make sound work.. even then i cant play more than 1 source of sound at a time. tried all kinds of fixes with no luck mint works a bit better but same bug. so i was hoping 10.04 would fix that.. and no luck still cNT PLAY FLASH ON FIREFOX WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC [08:01] dhruvasagar, please see my private message [08:01] dhruvasagar: hahaa lol [08:01] cool will try.... [08:01] Hello, I am a little put off reboot after some errors from upgrading to ubuntu 10.04 [08:01] learning as i go.... [08:01] ravenkhan: for starters I think you need to have the 'alternative installer iso' not the desktop iso. and I belive you just mount the iso to some place like /media/cdrom and start the package manager. [08:01] rbutler: right click of your panel -> add to panel -> Indicator Applet [08:01] rbutler: are you on 10.04? [08:02] ZykoticK9: well thanks :) [08:02] raj: Ubuntu 9.10 have you tried before. Y/N [08:02] has anyone got 10.4 to installed on a RAID SCSI.. I get no live available, and it drops into console [08:02] raj, try killall pulseaudio may fix the audio problem, at least it works for me here [08:02] dhruvasagar, ive been using linux longer than you have.. dont give an attitude [08:02] ZykoticK9: but technically I didn't ask him to google, I asked him if he had heard of google [08:02] raj: what makes you say that ? [08:02] XanderX, yes.. and went with mint 8.... [08:02] Hello ppl!! [08:02] I am using Lucid desktop edition, system always checks disk for errors...its really irritating....can anyone help......... [08:02] Caesi: Enable Viewport Switcher plugin in ccsm then set ccsm->Viewport Switcher->Desktop-based Viewport Switching->Move Next/Move Prev to Button4/Button5 respectively [08:02] Dr_Willis: i have .iso of 10.04 desktop and currently using 9.10 in my system.. want to upgrade using that iso [08:03] h00k Yes, and it seems that I'm not alone with that issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466400 [08:03] raj: you are the one giving attitude here my friend [08:03] ravenkhan, you need to phrase it. "How do I upgrade my Operating system of 9.10 Ubuntu to 10.04 Ubuntu using the CD I burned the ISO to.) [08:03] ravenkhan: i do NOT think the desktop cd iso can do that. [08:03] " [08:03] raj: you need to seriously check yourself first [08:03] Does it help if I buy a new keuboard? xD [08:03] I pasted some errors in here on release day, things were pretty chaotic... The errors are related to evince. I did install adobe 9 reader prior to upgrading, so I'm unsure if the upgrade is really the culprit. If I want to resolve the dependencies of evince, should I purge and then reinstall? Or is there a better way? [08:03] dhruvasagar, ravenkhan: both of you, chill, please [08:03] geekphreak: ping [08:03] hsr, You may not be shutting down properly. That is normally why it checks. [08:03] Some USB-model [08:03] raj: MINT is not in the list of discussion; unable to comply to that. [08:03] XanderX, 9.10 was okay. but mint really worked better on my laptop... [08:03] h00k: well alright [08:03] Orca will not read the text I highlight in adobe reader or in the default document viewer [08:03] Fireking300: i also wrote same thing. there are 100 ways to say a line === bibek is now known as bibstha [08:04] PythonPup: ther is no such problem, it does shutdown properly [08:04] dhruvasagar, no im not im stating my problems / fact .. your just a diehard ubuntu fan [08:04] raj: What kind of motherboard do you have? [08:04] h00k: whats wrong? [08:04] raj: it is not a fact that MINT is better than Ubuntu, it is merely your opinion [08:04] ravenkhan: hrm? [08:04] abhijain: ping? [08:04] pl explain the command rename 's/\.bak$//' *.bak [08:04] raj, how good is mint compare to ubuntu? [08:04] raj: Please check yourself first [08:04] h00k: what? [08:04] raj, never try mint b4 [08:04] How do I get orca to read pdf documents? [08:04] geekphreak: now what to do [08:05] raj: try using swfdec instead of adobe flash. nothing ubuntu devs can do about adobe devs doing things in silly ways [08:05] installed new keyboard [08:05] geekphreak: need to reintall ubuntu ?? [08:05] trying reboot to ubuntu* [08:05] !ot | kelvinella, raj and Mint discission [08:05] kelvinella, raj and Mint discission: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:05] raj: if adobe flash was open source, it might have a chance of being fixed, but it's not, so try using something that's actually fixable when it breaks [08:05] vishalparkar: looks like its trying to rename some files like 'foo' to 'foo.bak' but i rarely use rename. [08:05] vishalparkar: make a test dir. with some test files and try it in that dir and see what it does [08:05] hsr, You say it shuts down properly and you may think that. But, it probably is not. The check only happens for two reasons. One, is the disk was not marked as having been shut down properly. Second is after a configurable number of boots, it checks. This number is usually 30 boots.(Maybe 40, that's from memory) [08:06] Newbie needing some help with installing Ubuntu [08:06] kelvinella, ubuntu is always buggy im my opinion. either sound / video or both some bug is always present. mint just fixes it thats all .. im just trying out 10.04.. and now the bug of restart/shutdown is just a huge turn off. [08:06] kASPer_58: where are you getting stuck? [08:06] maco... seems to be working but do you know why problem occurs [08:06] abhijain: no yaar [08:06] u know mint it is based on ubuntu ? [08:06] vishalparkar: Removes all .bak endings for files in the current directory [08:06] h00k: this raj doesn't seem to budge, he is yapping only about MINT [08:06] raj: If your bug is known and reported, there is nothing more we can do to help. [08:06] carae: no i dont know why but now you have an extra data point to add in when you file a bug about it ;-) [08:07] geekphreak: den [08:07] maco installing 10.4 to a proliand.. states there is no Live and drops to console [08:07] kASPer_58: proliand? is that a brand of computer? and what do you mean "no Live"? [08:07] dhruvasagar: I'm aware [08:07] maco, yeah ... i didnt mention flash... did you hear about the new default open java? it really sucks had to add repo and get sun java 6 [08:07] !mint | UbuN2 [08:07] UbuN2: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [08:07] abhijain: try suing dpkg [08:07] using* [08:07] vishalparkar: ive seen dosens of scripts/commands/alias/tools to rename .html to .htm its a common task one EASY/gui way to do it.. use 'rox-filer' and its 'rename' feature has a bulk rename tool that defaults to that extension [08:07] raj: you did mention flash. you said you couldnt use flash and music player simultaneously. [08:07] i know about mint [08:08] open java is a joke, i immediately install sun java after [08:08] hello all [08:08] openjdk is certified by sun as being compatible... [08:08] open java is the only one worth using. [08:08] (also, works fine for me, but meh ymmv) [08:08] I have aquestion regarding lucid on a mac powerbook g4 [08:08] im not asking for help fot it [08:08] Dr_Willis: Is it a package? [08:08] dhruvasagar, wow your a dir hard fan boy!!! i am not yapping i said what bugs i have... now go and help someone else if you cant help me [08:08] <[Screamo]> Hey Dr_Willis, can you help m real quick? [08:08] u cant upload files in facebook with open java, u have to use sun java [08:08] im stating the fact it based on ubuntu [08:08] !info rox-filer | vishalparkar [08:08] vishalparkar: rox-filer (source: rox): A simple graphical file manager for X11.

[08:08] [Screamo]: and the issue is? [08:08] @anyone not busy. I recently installed Ubuntu on a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ260E via flash drive and unetbootin. The Factory OS is gone. I did a FTP install and now when Ubuntu trys to boot, it just leaves me with a flashing curser. Something I noticed though was that the SATA drive was recognized as a IDE now. Any help is apreciated :) [08:09] raj: you already have been told that if the bug you mention has already been raised there is nothing that we can do about you. [08:09] I am trying a clean install but it keeps failing on select and install software [08:09] raj: and yes I will === dynamicpda is now known as Minger [08:09] <[Screamo]> Dr_Willis, fstab [08:09] kelvinella, you say that as if it is a bad thing. If it bothers you, get facebook to fix it. [08:09] PLz help. I am legally in need of accessibility . orca will not read pdf files for me [08:09] maco, yeah it was from pulseaudio... it works when i take it off but i lose alot of things .. ubuntu is just TOOO dependent on pulseaudio [08:09] UbuN2: That discussion is offtopic for this channel, this channel is for support. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [08:09] raj: I have no shame in admitting that I am a die hard ubuntu fanboy [08:09] [Screamo]: you can be a little more verbose.. no need to split thins into 2 words or less.. [08:09] PythonPup, not just facebook, among other websites too [08:09] :) [08:09] <[Screamo]> Can we take this to pm? [08:10] it seems like I had a similar problem with karmic but I can't remember how I fixed it [08:10] !pm | [Screamo] [08:10] [Screamo]: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [08:10] raj: its actually not very dependent upon it. kubuntu and xubuntu don't include pulse at all. [08:10] geekphreak: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [08:10] my /home dir = 2.8 GB and my user dir /home/xman is ~ 2.8 GB. i'm running out of space. how do i increase this limit? i don't see any quotas in place. [08:10] abhijain: again ? [08:10] <[Screamo]> Maybe i dont wan to ask it in the channel, and i asked his permission...... [08:10] kelvinella: That's odd, because one would think that an officially certified java would work whereever java works. I guess "official" doesn't really mean much of anything [08:10] [Screamo]: its possible i may have leave at any time. so its best to keep it in here. [08:10] abhijain: how many apps you got running there? [08:10] <[Screamo]> meh [08:10] [Screamo]: im here/gone/back all day long. [08:10] hey people, still, the wallpaper that is shown after the grub menu, before the login screen is really bad quality (low resolution). Any fixes, please? [08:11] Thanks very much soreau - The info Button 4 & 5 was what I was looking for :) [08:11] progre55: are you using proprietary drivers? [08:11] is anyone running lucid on a mac? [08:11] maco, gnome is wrpped around pulseaudio try taking it off. you wont have volume you lose your volume controls on your keyboard you lose abiliity to edit videos and music [08:11] ppc [08:11] carae: can you file a bug? run "ubuntu-bug software-center" in a terminal and itll collect info and take you to a website called launchpad.net which is where ubuntu's bug tracking happens. make sure you include the fact that apt-get on its own works fine [08:11] progre55: thats part of the Plymouth stuff. and it seems to depend on the video card for me. some times it uses a 16 color image. :( [08:11] plz help i am sick and may not live much longer. all i want to do is be able to hear this letter file that was sent to me. but orca won't do it for me [08:11] h00k: yep [08:11] raj: that's a gnome decision [08:11] Minger, use lvm to add some spare drive space to the /home logical volume. That's what I would do. Your solution may be different, depending on your setup.

I think they know about it. Nouveau looks great, though. [08:12] [Screamo]: basics are /dev/device /media/MOUNTPOINT ext4 defaults 0 0 [08:12] h00k: Nouveau? what's that? ) [08:12] [Screamo]: you could use the UUID= type naming instead of /dev/device [08:12] !nouveau | progre55 [08:12] progre55: Nouveau is an experimental open-source nVidia driver, aiming for full 3d support.

I recently installed Ubuntu on a Sony Vaio VGN-FZ260E via flash drive and unetbootin. The Factory OS is gone. I did a FTP install and now when Ubuntu trys to boot, it just leaves me with a flashing curser. Something I noticed though was that the SATA drive was recognized as a IDE now. Any help is apreciated :) [08:13] abhijain: do you have a synaptic open? if so, close it [08:13] maco: unable to close [08:13] abhijain: only one application can get a lock on the dpkg at a time [08:13] abhijain: unable? why? [08:13] [Screamo]: so cut/paste the line in the fstab you have for the '/' partition. and change the UUID and Mountpoint. [08:13] h00k: oh I see [08:13] abhijain: if it gives you that error then it implies that something else has a lock [08:13] Usb creator fails, is there any .img for Lucid desktop that I can just dd?

[08:14] but it happens on every track [08:14] TimothyTimbers, I can try to help you, but not tonight. I'd have to setup orca on a system and experiment a bit. I'll do it, just not tonight. I have a computer show in the morning and I need to go home. [08:14] abhijain: you're getting that error because synaptic is running while you try to install stuff elsewhere. you can only use one at a time [08:14] donri: did you blank the drive? [08:14] donri, you can dd an iso [08:14] donri: theres some iso's for some disrots (not ubuntu) you can dd to flash drives and they work.. not sure how they are manageing that trick [08:14] maco: sudo kill all [08:14] ?? [08:14] thanks for the thought pythonpup [08:14] TimothyTimbers: there are other text-to-speech engines available in the repos, have you tried any others ? [08:15] donri: but this does not work for Ubuntu as far as i know. [08:15] LinuxGuy2009, What do you mean? [08:15] So USB install is a no-go?

[08:15] That IS what I'm saying [08:15] How do I specify a repository for "apt-get update"? [08:15] donri: if the ubuntu usb creator fails then just use unetbootin [08:15] carae: retry? launchpad appears to be up [08:15] maco: a red symbol created on my pannel for update manage and now also unable to close [08:15] How do i open "Nautilus" in terminal? [08:16] shazbotmcnasty, You sure that wasn't a netbook.img? [08:16] Dr_Willis, They store the boot image on the CD, instead of an iso9660 boot image, which is something different. It is not that tricky and Ubuntu does it too. [08:16] sain: nautilus & [08:16] abhijain: the one that tells you to install updates?

[08:16] abhijain: btw if you are unable to figure out what to do, you should restart the system perhaps [08:16] ubottu: tell Demon002 about tab [08:16] pepee : whats that ?

Lots of info out there. [08:36] LinuxGuy2009, im guesing write a script then put it in startup applications right [08:36] Penol: use the /etc/rc.local to generate a new motd. but that will only work on every reboot. [08:36] Penol: otherwise use a cronjob. [08:36] LinuxGuy2009, do you know how do do it i just want to get this done with [08:37] randal: no i dont offhand [08:37] LinuxGuy2009, k thanks [08:37] er irc.chatelsitio.com.ar [08:37] TimothyTimbers: ok nickserv says no. either register with nickserv so i can send you a message through irc's equivalent of voicemail or PM me your email address [08:37] Penol: you may want to limit fortune to shorter fortunes also. or otherwise tweak them . otherwise the cow can look ugly [08:37] randal: google for bash script looping [08:37] Please help. Brasero does not recognize external dvd burner. [08:37] TimothyTimbers: irc has this thing called memoserv that's like an answering machine for irc [08:37] LinuxGuy2009, k [08:38] TimothyTimbers: well at least /this/ irc server does ;-) [08:38] yes [08:38] fdf [08:38] TimothyTimbers /msg memoserv help send [08:38] winXPuser, what is the difference between mysql and oracle? [08:39] whats this i hear about a fault with the original final release and having the iso remade ? [08:39] MrNaz, fixed before release [08:39] MrNaz: a bug was fixed last minute before release [08:39] aah ok [08:39] so the final iso i downloaded is fine ? [08:39] yes [08:40] good, coz i'm about to install it [08:40] thanks [08:40] paris, mysql is a language you write quesries for a database in; oracle is the company that makes database software; once I downloaded and installed oracle I created new database via a "create table tablename(srguments)" and went to go go, filled it in, etc [08:40] !oracle [08:40] If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html [08:40] !mysql [08:40] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:40] winXPuser / paris mysql is NOT a language [08:40] ?? [08:40] New release is sick. Are people still having glx issues with ati cards [08:40] ok [08:40] winXPuser: the language is SQL [08:40] winXPuser mysql is a database system. SQL is the language [08:41] i am verified [08:41] winXPuser: mysql is a specific database implementation [08:41] excuse me.. how can i move a window ando go to second virtual desktop ? ubuntu 10.04 [08:41] winXPuser: as are oracle and postgresql and microsoft sql server [08:41] winXPuser mysql is a database system just like oracle's products [08:41] As anyone seen this pro facebook add for mysql [08:41] Dr_Willis: how do i limit it? [08:41] MrNaz, maco, then I know SQL language & Orcaale database system.thatis, I have no idea about mysql database system, I suppose [08:41] paris ^ [08:41] Apparently facebook is contributing to speed enhancements [08:41] maco, you should be able to do that message thing [08:41] MrNaz, but I would like to learn mysql and I need some help in that. [08:42] TimothyTimbers: ok when i hear back i'll send a message with memoserv to you and then when you connect to irc memoserv will tell you that you have a message and how to retrieve it [08:42] Penol: check the fortune command options. it has options [08:42] acces: my pers. tip would be to install+configure compiz fusion - i found infos on how to do with google... [08:42] acces: right click a window and move to desktop#, change desktops with the destop switcher applet on bottom right. [08:42] do i need swap with 4GB ram? [08:42] 4? [08:42] Nope. [08:42] I wouldn't. [08:42] MrNaz: though in fairness to winXPuser, mysql has some somewhat non-standard extra features on top of regular sql [08:42] Its always good to have swap [08:43] CytotoxicTCell: if you want to hibernate, yes [08:43] What if i want to hibernate? [08:43] oh [08:43] CytotoxicTCell: hibernate needs swap [08:43] My rule has always have double the swap for ram [08:43] CytotoxicTCell: You using hibernate/suspend? If so yes.. 4gb suggested.. if not.. proberly no.. but i always put 512mb swap on every machine - just in case [08:43] Well, hibernate, then yes. [08:43] xiambax: ditto [08:43] Unless its over 8 gigs [08:43] dam [08:43] But its always good [08:43] hibernate works ok on laptops right? [08:43] I keep a litlte swap on all HD's - becuse if nothing else.. Live cd's may use it :) when i am reovering things [08:43] CytotoxicTCell: the swap space has to be large enough to hold everything thats in ram in order to hibernate [08:43] why would 8gb not need swap for hibernate? [08:43] Back in my day. When i had 12 mb of ram running redhat 6 [08:43] CytotoxicTCell: yes it works fine on all my laptops [08:43] and slack 9 [08:43] CytotoxicTCell: ive had mixxed refults with hibernate [08:43] LinuxGuy2009: it would [08:44] you need it for suspend to? [08:44] exactly [08:44] LinuxGuy2009: xiambax was saying they dont do RAM*2 = swap if RAM >= 8GB [08:44] suspend i dought [08:44] !info doc-central [08:44] doc-central (source: doc-central): web-based documentation browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.2+nmu3 (lucid), package size 15 kB, installed size 168 kB [08:44] doubt [08:44] CytotoxicTCell: no i dont think so [08:44] ok =) [08:44] CytotoxicTCell: because suspend keeps things in memory. since hibernate goes to disk, it requires swap [08:44] o [08:44] hi everyone [08:44] maco: i see [08:44] ola [08:44] Gotta find the docs for doc-central :) [08:44] need help in something [08:44] salut [08:44] CytotoxicTCell: though i really do need to point out that with 4GB of RAM i /do/ frequently have my system swapping [08:44] just dragged out my music folder [08:44] !channels [08:44] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [08:44] I just got a i7 iMac and 8Gigs of ram [08:45] Me = HELLA STOKED [08:45] tot its a copy of it [08:45] then i went to delete it [08:45] i had windows 7 and that was swapping all the time [08:45] CytotoxicTCell: 100-120 firefox tabs using 1.2GB of RAM certainly contributes to that though :P [08:45] and the music file gone [08:45] where can I get help with building packages?

Sorry [08:58] Aww, that'll take a bunch of effort to get it back how I had it! :P [08:58] What's that with question mark in that factoid? :/ [08:58] OK crossing fingers on first Linux install XD [08:58] I'm having problems with the panel, but I think it involves Nvidia [08:58] Hey - can anyone instruct me on how to mount my home folder from the Live CD so I can copy all my files onto an external HDD? [08:58] Had anyone else experienced white lines while running a monitor from laptop? [08:59] Azdaya: is it on its own partition? or just a subdir under the main partition? [08:59] Icons on panel are drawn...near upside down [08:59] ziroday : i tried thath with the rescue option in fedora 12 dvd [08:59] Azdaya: short answer 'sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/MyHOME' then copy stuff over [08:59] Mindwolf: Hm... now that you mention it, I had some problems like that, except the lines weren't just white, some weird color [08:59] mount /media/home/ *destination of home [08:59] Yeah [08:59] Azdaya: the drive should also appear in nautilus [08:59] Most mine are blended from the icons [08:59] Dr_Willus: One sec, I'll try that. [09:00] Ziroday: I tried that and it wouldn't show. [09:00] But I tried to uninstall Nvidia - I think this did not help [09:00] I can't access my normal monitor config, physical or display manager [09:00] I use intel for the gfx, and have latest drivers [09:01] Hello guys. I want to activate scrolling with my touchpad on my dell laptop. How to do that. At first, how do I find out the driver for /dev/psaux? [09:01] Dr_Willis: Can you clarify the whole command again? [09:01] But it happened after removing Nvidia...I've been trying to fix it for about 5 days now [09:01] 4 AM and would like to solve this thing [09:01] Azdaya: mount /dev/device /media/mountpoint is the core of the command. [09:02] Azdaya: You might need to be root to access the files however. [09:02] pranay_09: Fedora uses grub legacy, so a grub recovery option in fedora probably wouldn't work as intended. Try following this guide (which will work fine from a fedora liveCD): http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [09:02] Azdaya: Don't forget "sudo", too. [09:02] Hi [09:02] Azdaya: and the mountpoint MUST exist befor you mount to it [09:02] Dr_Willis: I'm getting a 'mount point does not exist' error. So I'm getting the second part wrong. I'm not sure which folder I'm directing it to. [09:02] Azdaya: and the mountpoint MUST exist befor you mount to it [09:02] can I install ubuntu netbook version on my laptop?

But it keeps wanting to get new packages ... pls help [09:03] maco: unable to install any software [09:03] Hi... i cant boot from the 10.04 live cd... the message I get is "the installer encountered an unrecoverable error". The resolution is also wrong (badly wrong). Tried the nomodeset option which just causes the system to drop to a terminal instead. Any ideas? [09:03] maco: now what to do [09:03] rampageoberon: I am stuck with same issue [09:03] @SandGordon I tried that but even syndaemon complains that no synaptic device is installed [09:04] maco: also update manager uunable to quit [09:04] the /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade command connects to network during uogrades and upgrade is slowed down, this simply defeats the purpose of upgrading from CD [09:04] yesterday on the ubuntu site there was the netbook version today the desktop...

[09:06] hd1, i found getting used to the new grub very confusing [09:06] rampageoberon: let me know if you find a way out, disconnecting from net doesn't help :( [09:06] shleda: might just have to burn cd instead of mounting [09:07] Dr_Willis: Okay, this was the problem I was having earlier: "You do not have the necessary permissions to view "username." Is there a place I should be entering a password? [09:07] rampageoberon: not required, in case of cd, u will b still mounting it [09:08] shleda: true, wonder if more googling will help [09:08] rampageoberon: i guess no one in room knows the answer, google is helpless 2 [09:08] could someone please help with unbearably sloooow internet surfing on fresh install of 10.04? it seems like its connected and fast for about thirty seconds then for a few minuets it cant be bothered... please help =( [09:08] hey i have a problem with my gdesklets i installed it but when i press on it it doesn't or even start [09:09] eid: "it doesn't or"? [09:09] Azdaya: the permissions on the origianl Home are for your other user. You need to access the files as 'root' Not the live cd user [09:09] Azdaya: thats linux security :) [09:09] it doesn't start [09:09] Azdaya: Try "sudo -i", it will give you root access. [09:09] Dr_Willis: Forgive me, I'm not all too familiar with Linux. One second. [09:10] Hi... i cant boot from the 10.04 live cd... the message I get is "the installer encountered an unrecoverable error". The resolution is also wrong (badly wrong). Tried the nomodeset option which just causes the system to drop to a terminal instead. Any ideas? [09:10] Azdaya: in such a case i tend to install 'mc' and use 'sudo mc' to access such files and copy them around. [09:10] Eh [09:10] theadmin, it doesn't start [09:10] This is crazy :p [09:10] eid: I see. Well, can you run it from teh terminal?

[09:11] Whats up foks [09:11] theadmin: Am I unmounting everything and then mounting as root? And to your question at @Dr_Willis; I mentioned that nautilus didn't work for me.

[09:11] hello, since my update to 10.4, gwibber stopped workingi [09:11] Azdaya: if you run nautilus as root. it should be able to access the files.

I read the link you gave me, but there is about grub2 or grub1, and nothing about moving from grub2 to grub1 [09:12] ? [09:12] theadmin: the log file might help you solving the problem [09:12] twiztid, maybe you need to use open dns [09:13] Oh it's back up! I have never seen that name server be down!

(although the changes won't be saved) [09:48] maco: i think now synaptic is kill [09:48] ViperBorg: so "sudo apt-get install gparted" in a terminal will install it [09:48] Slart: Okay, thanks. As long as it gets everything sized up correctly. [09:48] Slart: Excellent, thanks. Going to try that right now. [09:48] cristopher: ok run: cvt 1024 768 [09:48] cristopher, thats not an intel video gpu [09:49] ViperBorg: well.. you still have to specify the sizes yourself.. but the actual resizing should be fine [09:49] abhijain: please use the command line until things are sorted === ubuntu1 is now known as Stpiere [09:49] Dr_Willis : i tredi to repair the grub through live option in ubuntu dvd , but it doesn't work [09:49] abhijain: can installation of anything work from apt-get?

[09:57] cristopher: ok so we can try telling the computer how to handle 1024x768 but its possible that your hardware wont do it. and if you say "but windows can!" thats because you have a specific driver for that card that works around / ignores the fact that the hardware doesnt know how and forces it. rihgt now you're using a generic video driver that cant do that, so lets just hope the hardware knows whats up [09:57] ViperBorg: nah.. lucid is fine.. although I don't know why it does that.. let me check my laptop.. I installed lucid on that a couple of days ago [09:57] cristopher: to do that, first run "cvt 1024 768" [09:57] Slart: Okay. [09:58] maco, based on the hw list he linked to hes running in virtualbox, so maybe there are some drivers for that?

[10:10] ViperBorg: you are encrypting the whole disk then? [10:10] maco, i use c or basic if there? [10:10] Dr_Willis: No encryption. [10:10] arinda: gtk is usually either C or Python. i dont know of anything that runs with basic... [10:10] abhijain: ok [10:10] arinda: oh there's ruby bindngs for gtk too. they're crappy and crash a lot though [10:11] !mountiso | trijntje [10:11] trijntje: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [10:11] !md5 [10:11] ViperBorg: I dont use wubi. so there may be ways to change teh settings. You may want to look into using virtualbox if you want more controll [10:11] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [10:11] Dr_Willis, thats cool, thanks a lot [10:11] maco. ok, so which IDE for it? [10:11] trijntje: there are some gui frontends to that terminal command as well.. end result is the same.. I think one is called gmount or something like that [10:11] hi all. 10.04 problem - random crashes that make me reboot bc I have no control of mouse and no apps/windows are accessible. /var/log/messages doesn't show anything. I think it's a unexpected error the OS can't handle. What other things can I do to diagnose the problem??? I want to guess it's a raid5 issue. Help please. [10:11] Dr_Willis: Rather not use a GM, the performance hit drives me nuts. [10:11] er... a VM* [10:11] good morning [10:11] arinda, thanks, but it turns out vlc understands iso, so i'm already happy [10:11] arinda: um i just use a text editor. i use vim. i guess you could use eclipse if you want a big IDE with buttons and things... though Kate is a nice syntax-highlighting graphical text editor [10:12] hello is it possible to upgrade 9.10 x64 server to 10.04 x64 desktop? [10:12] jbu, please format and install windows [10:12] ViperBorg: i would think using the os on flashdrive would be a very big hit also [10:12] oobe, already have it [10:12] does anybody here know about the LVM disk encryption when using alternate install CD? :P [10:12] any idea how i could read my yahoo! mails from thunderbird? [10:12] Slart, I knew the command line way, but its not for me. But Dr_Willis pointed out that vlc can read .iso's, so i'm happy [10:12] Dr_Willis: Strangly, not so much. [10:12] I'd like to know the encryption algorithm, key length etc. but it seems they're not available anywhere [10:12] geekphreak: thanx u too alot for assisting me and telling me about ubuntu . exercise makes me perfect [10:12] ViperBorg: I did a 'full/normal' install to a 8gb flash drive the other day as a test. that way i can boot it on the wiondows machines. No wubi needed [10:12] oobe not sure how that helps with the issue [10:12] hahha.. [10:13] trijntje: ah =) [10:13] I have a question, how to make ubuntu lighter than 2GB? [10:13] it doesnt lol [10:13] Hello! I have a problem booting ubuntu 10.4 live cd & usb. During the boot I have no screen anymore after the startup menu of the ubuntu live cd. Can someone help me with this problem? [10:13] oobe, I don't know if you're saying that bc you think the problem is too serious, or if you were just thinking i'm not ready for linux [10:13] !minimal | teiczer [10:13] teiczer: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:13] solved [10:13] teiczer: remove stuff you dont need. Openoffice is rather large. [10:13] jbu, sorry i didnt even fully read your question [10:13] teiczer: you can try using the minimal install cd.. and choose carefully what to install [10:13] teiczer: monitor your /var/cache apt's cache also. it can grow fast [10:13] please dont read anything into what i said as im just being a little bit cheeky [10:13] teiczer, I have a very big list of things that you might want to remove [10:14] my 1GB space will be freed with that [10:14] maco, ok. thanks. do you know good tutor about that? gtk+ programming through text editor? [10:14] teiczer: there are other distros out there that might be better for doing very small installs.. puppylinux or Damn Small Linux (DSL) are two.. there are others as well [10:14] jbu when does this happen? Is it after a period of inactivity or is it while you are actively using the machine? [10:14] arinda: read the GTK API docs? [10:14] does anybody here know about the LVM disk encryption when using alternate install CD? :P I'd like to know the encryption algorithm, key length etc. but it seems they're not available anywhere?! [10:14] DMRAID5 - can anyone confirm this is working fine in 10.04? [10:14] i've used that on my pendrive, but its 2,4GB, i deen 2 gigs free for documents [10:14] jbu, no i read your question have you checked what grapics card drivers you are using [10:14] I cannot seem to share any folders in my home directory and mpd cannot stat any files in my ~/Music directory. is there some thing in 10.04 that doesn't allow other usergroups from reading my home directory? === Bilge_ is now known as Bilge [10:14] arinda: its the same as you do any C programming. open a file...start typing, save it with a .c name, and then compile it [10:14] i would check that out as poorly configured xorg can cause freezes and crashs [10:14] Slart: I'm trying everything, but i need OO..org [10:15] Hello! I have a problem booting ubuntu 10.4 live cd & usb. During the boot I have no screen anymore after the startup menu of the ubuntu live cd. Can someone help me with this problem? [10:15] jbu: raid 5 is bad.. you didn't know? =) http://www.baarf.com/ [10:15] also cpu cooling [10:15] oobe, nvidia geforce 9600...i am not using any proprietary drivers at the moment, though on bootup, /var/log/messages says stuff about nouveau [10:15] zooming with the CTRL + Mouse scroll combination is working in Open Office but not working in Firefox [10:15] teiczer: ouch.. that's a lot of space, just that [10:15] try the nvidia ones [10:15] abhijain: what's going on? [10:15] maco, i don't have. i think i need some tutor how to compile it? [10:15] lets say, i need only core and gnome interface [10:15] kerel, what is the last thing you see when booting? [10:15] there's no md5 or sha1 for lucid linx https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:15] oobe, yeah i might want to try that...thanks [10:16] arinda: use gcc [10:16] jbu, i always start with somthing smart and snide before i offer real advise lol [10:16] arinda: gcc -o myexecutablename myprogramfile.c [10:16] teiczer: well.. create a minimal install with basically just gnome.. then install oo.org after that and see how much stuff it wants to install (it might be easier to try this in a vm first) [10:16] Slart, lol what is this [10:16] om26er: a cursor flickering in the left top corner [10:16] i should probably change that habit [10:16] maco. oh.... ok. thanks i see. [10:16] arinda: or if you want it to give you all available warnings... gcc -Wall -o myexecutablename myprogramfile.c [10:17] does anybody here know about the LVM disk encryption when using alternate install CD? :P I'd like to know the encryption algorithm, key length etc. but it seems they're not available anywhere?! [10:17] after that it went blanc [10:17] oobe yes you should [10:17] jbu: it's a site about why RAID is bad.. I'm not saying it's horrible.. it's just not as good as one might think [10:17] kerel, is there any pci card, maybe pci wifi in? [10:17] Is there a program to backup my entire user profile (Firefox settings, user environment settings, etc...) and then recover those settings on a clean installation? [10:17] there's no md5 or sha1 for lucid linx https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:17] Why is ubuntu+1 invite only>>!/ [10:18] kerel, also is it a laptop or a PC? [10:18] xXedixXx: because right now its closed. [10:18] ViperBorg all those settings are stored in directories inside your home directory [10:18] xXedixXx: lucid is out. :) Meerket is not even avail yet [10:18] mmvx: So just copy my home directory and I'm set? [10:18] Lucid is now properly released? I think I'm still on the BETA and the wireless is screwed up. [10:18] FAIL RELEASE.. [10:18] jbu: perhaps they haven't had time to do that yet.. I'm guessing it will show up in the next couple of days [10:19] xXedixXx: if you updated/upgraded recently you are final. [10:19] xXedixXx: if youve installed updates, youre on final [10:19] there's no md5 or sha1 for lucid linx https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:19] Well.. it's still broken.. [10:19] Explain that.. [10:19] xXedixXx: did ya file a bug? [10:19] om26er: I have pci and wifi. [10:19] ViperBorg yes, pretty much, that's all you need to do. Are you upgrading from one version to another? [10:19] ViperBorg, u can check u'r config in /home/user/.something/ [10:19] ... [10:19] pumpy: check the ftp sites. there is a md5sums file i recall for all of them [10:19] What's the point maco? [10:19] No bug report = no bug. [10:19] Dr_Willis: this is for the minimal cd [10:19] xXedixXx: if you file a bug, it might get fixed. if you don't, it won't. [10:19] kerel, so the wifi is usb? [10:19] pumpy: perhaps they haven't had time to do that yet.. I'm guessing it will show up in the next couple of days [10:19] I don't get why the wireless gets screwed up when you upgrade.. [10:19] mmvx: Nope, same version, installing to another medium. [10:19] Makes no sense. [10:20] xXedixXx: it happens. how many times have you got an out of the box Windows installation that "just works"? it's just not feasible for it to work 100% of the time, IMO [10:20] I don't know how to layout the bug or what to do etc.. [10:20] pumpy: there isn't even a link for the 64bit minimal yet.. [10:20] how do i run a windows computer on the network ? [10:20] mark3: Huh? [10:20] Windows does tend to work out of the box actually. But it's for noobs. [10:20] om26er: it's intergrated with the motherboard. but the wifi is diabled in the bios [10:20] mark3: huh? you mean share files with windows computer from your ubuntu computer? [10:20] kerel, which motherboard is it please [10:20] Dr_Willis, like if i have a file shared on a windows computer, how do i access that lol [10:20] xXedixXx: takes me 4+ hrs to get a windows machine set up 'out of the box' for it to be useabl for me e. but this is OT. [10:21] slart, no the other way round [10:21] !samba | mark3 [10:21] mark3: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [10:21] mark3: ebnable samba, and use the places -> network to browse the network [10:21] i have samba [10:21] xXedixXx: thats if its pre-installed. but a windows cd out of the windows box doesnt tend to support much of the hardware :P oh how many times while installing XP i'd wished it as ubuntu as then at least the wired internet and maybe wireless would work, while xp couldnt get even wired [10:21] om26er: ASUS P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP [10:21] really is it that easy [10:21] mark3: or use winscp on windows and ssh on linux to tansfer stuff from windows -> linux eaially [10:21] Well, CD installs from windows are usually fine, just install a few drivers and it works. [10:21] mark3: samba /shares can be a pain. it depends on your network [10:21] xXedixXx: "just install a few drivers" != ootb :P [10:22] What? [10:22] xXedixXx: and that's all you need for your ubuntu installation too, a few drivers [10:22] ViperBorg ok then you're all set. Some programs change the config files slightly between versions and using an old home directory can introduce problems, that's lal [10:22] Dr_Willis, thanks sorry i usually run it like in windows i type \\192.168.0.102 i didnt realise i could see it in network places, thanks a lot hey [10:22] xXedixXx: out of the box would mean you do /nothing/ after installing the OS. clearly fetching drivers is not "working out of the box" [10:22] Really? My wireless worked FINE in 9.10, I got to the Lucid beta and it doesn't work, I try to fix it, try EVERYTHING, still doesn't work, wait for proper release, STILL doesn't work. [10:22] hey all, what version of debian is lucid based on? is it lenny? I am trying to figure out what repository version I should be using [10:22] It's rediculous. [10:23] mark3: ive noticed a few cases where you have to hse the ip# in linux instead of the machine name. some tmes i have to type in the full path to the share also. smb:/server/sharename i then bookmark it. [10:23] it's not ridiculous, it's a regression, and should be filed as a bug to help other peple who have the same hardware as you [10:23] om26er: with nvidia 9600gt and soundblaster audigy se [10:23] or one of your 'fixs' broke the official fix. [10:23] how much time does it take to run md5sum /dev/cdrom for lucid installer? it's just taking too long [10:23] Jesus... this is so annoying. [10:23] Dr_Willis wow you read my my mind thanks dude cause the windows computer isnt in the network places folder [10:23] Apart from that, 10.04 is great.. [10:24] mark3: check the workgroups for all the machines. they may differ. that can hide them [10:24] xXedixXx do we have a Jesus here/ [10:24] kerel, try booting with nomodeset === hsa2|gone is now known as hsa2 [10:24] does anybody here know about the LVM disk encryption when using alternate install CD? :P I'd like to know the encryption algorithm, key length etc. but it seems they're not available anywhere?! [10:25] buffr: no :P [10:25] I wonder how it is that nobody knows, where I could go asking or something? [10:25] Dr_Willis, i did , there are computers in workgroup but not my laptop for some reason, but its weird cause my laptop can see my linux desktop [10:25] check on google [10:25] kerel, when you get the first screen there press enter select english then press F6 press spaebar on nomodeset press escape and then 'try ubuntu without installing' [10:25] om26er: thanks for your advise. I'm going to try it. hopefully I will be back in half an hour on u10.4 [10:25] teiczer, that it is! google tells nothing about it [10:25] mark3: ive had simler issues with my router and the wireless machines.. plugged in - they can be seen.. wireless - they hide... [10:25] few hype articles but no key lengths, encryption algorithms. [10:25] hi all, i have ubuntu 10.04 and nvidia geforce 6100 with 195 driver version. the problem is that it glitches, when i'm on firefox, or select some file in a folder, why? [10:25] speaker icon is missing in tray, how do it restore it? [10:26] I know it uses dm-crypt and LUKS but there are few encryption options too [10:26] oh you already knew that [10:26] Dr_Willis: could be a wireless isolation thing? I think I have that enabled on my tomato router so that wireless clients can't talk to each other, only to wired machines and the internet [10:26] can't remember why i use it now [10:26] Dr_Willis so how did you solve this ? cause smb:/192.168.7.102 didnt work [10:26] om26er: yes but thanks anyway :) [10:26] abhijain: hello? [10:26] lol [10:26] buffr: http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html it seems there are some settings you can see when you set it up [10:27] mark3: its smb://server/shre [10:27] buffr: i think it asks you which encryption scheme you want, doesnt it? [10:27] All that appears in my /etc/network/interfaces file is a couple of lines both referring to lo:- [10:27] auto lo [10:27] Dr_Willis, shre ? [10:27] and [10:27] buffr: iirc, default /should/ be AES [10:27] Dr_Willis, share ? === jofo_ is now known as jofo [10:27] buffr: I'm not sure if lvm knows about encryption.. it might be done on another level by something else.. luks, dm-crypt or similar [10:27] TVC-DAP: that's probably normal, network manager will take care of your other interfaces from the GUI [10:27] how I can register my nickname in freenode irc network? [10:27] hi [10:27] iface lo inet loopback [10:27] mark3: the name of the share. if the pc dosent support browing of shares [10:27] !register | ne7work [10:27] ne7work: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [10:27] does anyone know how to enable proprietary drivers on lucid live-cd? "sudo service gdm restart" or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" seems only to jam the whole system. [10:27] Slart: it is but lvm is required in order to make that work so referring to it as "lvm encryption" is fairly common [10:28] smb://server/public/ [10:28] How can I add a user to a group without removing him from other groups ? [10:28] Dr_Willis, ah thats a bit frustrating, i remember you said something about saving the link, how did you do so ? [10:28] maco, AES what length? :) [10:28] 256 or 512? :P [10:28] mark3: eih the bookmark feature of the file manager [10:28] despite having two ethernet interfaces installed [10:28] awaad usermod -a -G group user [10:28] awaad: use -a with usermod to keep it from removing [10:28] I still can't find a good sound card. Can you recommend something that does 5.1 and is supported in ubuntu? I was looking at the creative x-fi but most of it's extras aren't supported are they? [10:28] hi [10:28] maco, and I've installed it onto VirtualBox, it doesn't ask for the encryption method. [10:28] buffr: how silly [10:29] oh awesome [10:29] and Slart thanks for the link but Ive already checked that. [10:29] both showing up in the network manager as eth0 and eth1 [10:29] Dr_Willis, omg i just saw that thats awesome!!! [10:29] both refuse to came up. [10:29] I am having some trouble with my mic for ubuntu 10.04 in dell 1510 [10:29] any helps ? [10:29] how slow would lucid run on 1.7celeron 640 ram [10:29] buffr: I'm looking at a screenshot where it tells you the key length [10:29] om26er: I used to run karmic on such [10:29] and it was slow but workable [10:30] buffr: and also algorithm, which program is responsible for the encryption and so on.. [10:30] om26er: I think lucid will be faster, but I still recommend xubuntu [10:30] DexterLB, I am gonna install lucid on someone's today [10:30] DexterLB: do you want the card to decode 5.1 to analogue, or just do pass through to an AV amp, or over HDMI or ? [10:30] we'll se [10:31] hiya i need help with graphic card problem [10:31] !help [10:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:31] linxeh: I just want it to have the 6 needed analog outputs so I can connect it to a 6ch amp, and be able to use jack with it :) [10:31] anyone knows how to configure dell external mic in lucid ? [10:31] i am currently using a gainward 9400gt 512mb ddr2 it doesn't seem to work with linux any idea how to solve this problem? [10:32] linxeh: built-in prologic or something for 2ch streams would be neat, just as long as I'm able to do real 5.1 too [10:32] Slart, hmm? I think I missed it then [10:32] could you link it :P [10:32] There is no "Help" option on my menu to report a bug... [10:32] Shortly after installing 10.04 lucid I lost the volume button on the upper panel and I can't see anywhere where to put it back.

[10:33] Dr_Willis, hey i tried that and it works perfectly thank you, just have to try figure out what password it wants lol [10:33] oops soory i was trying to quit [10:33] DexterLB: what do the guys in #lad / #lau recommend ? [10:33] see #ubunt-help-dap-net [10:33] using ciso on Lucid gives 'floating point error', regardless of isofile or compression. Can someon verify this/tell me how to fix this?

[10:36] Slart, no? :S [10:36] TVC-DAP: that file is only used for "ifup" [10:36] sorry what i mean is that inside the ~/.media folder where all the things get mounted to, i deleted the CD ROM 0 mount and now i cant remount it :( [10:36] hareldvd: it is in the "indicator applet" [10:36] TVC-DAP: if network manager is handling things, that shouldnt matter [10:36] well, that would explain why ifup is not working [10:36] Wondering: where can i set the light theme?? It seems to be nowehere in my list [10:37] mark3: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0 [10:37] buffr: on this link http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html picture 4, "Disk partition for encrypted file systems" [10:37] does anyone know how to enable proprietary drivers on lucid live-cd?

Funny to mane it like that. Also I want to get rid of the envelop. Any idea? [10:37] Hmm, any particular reason the "visual effects" on the netbook edition are greyed out now?

[11:35] nazgul_: I've done a bit more research and it seems that it basically isn't possible to upgrade from the LiveCD. The alternative installer contains the packages from which you can do an upgrade but the liveCD does not because of its format [11:35] nazgul_: zetheroo: most ubuntu installs run without xorg.conf's, its perfectly normal [11:35] markit: thjres been ati driver updates all through beta testing [11:35] penguin42: I'm booting it, hold on :) [11:35] DDAZZA: evince file.pdf [11:35] abhi u here [11:35] Anyone install lucid to SDHC card yet?

If you create a xorg.conf it will be used. Why you need xorg.conf ? [11:43] can anyone help me with my graphics situation?

[12:02] (is there are any) [12:02] no, really, he was a true n00b :( [12:02] minimec: ok thanks [12:02] i don't mean newbie to ubuntu [12:02] DexterLB: at least he tried [12:02] I mean micro$oft user that's too used to windoze [12:02] ubuntu 10.4 is so good [12:03] hi there. After upgrading to Lucid Lynx x64, my mousepointer cannot be moved to the left of my two displays. It's working fine on the right display. When I try to move it onto the left, is gets stuck about 1 cm off the right edge of the left display and is flickering vividly. Any ideas? [12:03] jaypur: yup [12:03] jaypur: Hehehe doing an upgrade right now [12:03] Hi. Im having problems with Lynx boot time. Every time it hangs on init: ureadahead-other main process (827) terminated with status 4 (or similar) for 4 minutes. [12:03] I checked ubuntu software center and orca is installed but were can I find it? [12:03] but it breaks RMagick, i dont know how to solve the problem :( [12:03] Ek|mu5, clean installed is preferred for many ;) [12:04] om26er: cba [12:04] om26er: I know, just want to see if they improved the upgrade process [12:04] Ek|mu5: They didn't [12:04] sergiu14: then use « sudo apt-get source libc6 [12:04] sergiu14: then use « sudo apt-get source libc6 » [12:04] TigerDuck: Hahaha, I'll see if it's acceptable [12:04] quick and easy question for eyecandy? why cant i set the windows to pop off the compizcube in 10.04? [12:05] Were is orca ? [12:05] Ek|mu5: I'm stuck with a stable system WITHOUT a working mouse [12:05] twiztid: you mean "Raise windows"? [12:05] I can't seem to find that program. [12:05] belus: which orca [12:05] TigerDuck, Orca software. [12:05] belus: bash: which orca [12:05] Ek|mu5, its much improved. there were many upgrade tests done [12:05] i am trying to upgrade to 10.04 from 8.10, but there is not upgrade coming up in my update manager [12:05] TigerDuck: ouch [12:05] ok I did that .. but hodo I place them in the right place .. so gdb will know where they are :) [12:05] TigerDuck, orca reader [12:05] how do i still upgrade with all this? [12:06] TigerDuck, http://live.gnome.org/Orca [12:06] hey DexterLB [12:06] VeasMKII: i suppose, in karmic it looked so nice having the windows 'raise' and videos wraparound a corner... [12:06] belus: Type INTO your BASH: which orca [12:06] how do I stop Nvidia drivers from loading? [12:06] TigerDuck, i started it, thanks:) [12:06] any HACKER here ? [12:06] twiztid: You mean the 3D Windows thing in the Effects section? [12:06] om26er: hi [12:06] om26er: the end user will ALWAYS be the judge of that :D But anyways, I know I can recover as long as it's not too knackered [12:06] coder__: a rather vague and pointless question.. care to give more details in the ubuntu support issue? [12:06] for some reason i cant mount my hard drive from my computer, and even if i type sudo mount /media/400 it doesnt work anyone know why ? [12:06] zetheroo; yo should be able to deactive them in system>administration>hardware drivers [12:07] twiztid: If you've got compiz cube enabled then you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager and enable the 3d windows plugin [12:07] coder__: you're in the wrong channel my friend [12:07] * DexterLB is tired of n00banswering today... [12:07] mark3: you do have a fstab entry for the device? if so what does it look like? [12:07] Dr_Willis, let me check === Sp0t is now known as Sp0t_away [12:07] FlintWestWood: there are none in there [12:08] Well, backup is done ... going for a fresh install now *sigh* [12:08] [V]ortex`: how'd it go? [12:08] Dr_Willis, nope i do not [12:08] <[V]ortex`> Ek|mu5, i think the reboot did the trick thanks [12:08] mark3: then you need to use a proper mount command. [12:08] <[V]ortex`> hello how do i remove icons from my desktop? [12:08] ah ok ? [12:08] [V]ortex`: a reboot AFAIK wasn't needed [12:08] Dr_Willis, how do i do that ? [12:08] mark3: sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/THISDIRMUSTEXIST optionshere [12:08] !mount | mark3 [12:08] mark3: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [12:09] minimec, VeasMKII: ok, ya i ahve the manager set and all the effects i care about, except the lovely 3d raising windows, i dont see any option like i did in karmic's compiz [12:09] please, is the 10.04 out and if so why isn't ubuntu's site not changing to the new theme? [12:09] [V]ortex`: select and press Del button [12:09] Dr_Willis, thanks [12:09] [V]ortex`: just restart the program for it to load the plug-ins [12:09] <[V]ortex`> TigerDuck, i cant do that for the trash icon [12:09] hi, I'm trying to get skype working. I am on hardy heron on an nc6000 laptop, and I can't upgrade ubuntu so trying to get skype to read input from my mic [12:09] datta, I was wondering about that too maybe a few problems [12:09] <[V]ortex`> Ek|mu5, ok, i don't know why it didn't work before either [12:09] [V]ortex`: Why would you want to delete the trash icon??? [12:09] <[V]ortex`> Ek|mu5, but the reboot did the trick, so i'm not complaining [12:09] [V]ortex`: kernel upgrades and some kernel modules are what need reboots [12:09] om26er: heard that there is a bug on the loose, is it fixed yet? [12:10] zetheroo: may i pm you. [12:10] <[V]ortex`> TigerDuck, personal preference; i also want to delete the filesystem icons [12:10] twiztid: Oh, i see now :) I'm looking into finding the plugin (it's probably availble in the package manager) [12:10] I can make calls and hear things in skype but people can't hear me. The mic works fine in audacity though. [12:10] damn this ... how do I get nvidia to quit messing things up for me [12:10] datta, yes it was fixed before the release [12:10] twiztid: I on a e17 setup right now, but if I start cssm, I have the 3D Windows Plugin in the effects section and it's not greyed out or so. [12:10] I need to leave [12:10] any FEMALE programmer here ? [12:10] [V]ortex`: well, I don't know why exactly [12:10] FlintWestWood: sure [12:10] [V]ortex`: thers variouis gnome tweak progerams that let you hide/add icons on the desktop. ubuntu-tweak is one such tool. gtweakui is another [12:10] Dr_Willis, it seems to think that the mount point doesnt exist [12:10] coder__: why do you ask ? [12:10] minimec: did you upgrade, cause im on a fresh install of lucid... [12:10] then does anyone know when it's coming to the update manager? [12:10] because I want to talk to female programmers [12:10] mark3: sudo mount /dev/whatever /media/THISDIRMUSTEXIST <------------ does the dir exist? get the clue i gave? :) [12:11] coder__: try #comal [12:11] <[V]ortex`> Dr_Willis, ubuntu tweak did the trick, thanks! [12:11] coder__: but why FEMALE? [12:11] datta, its not yet there? [12:11] twiztid: True. I upgraded from karmic 9.10 [12:11] datta, sudo update-manager -d ? [12:11] or only update-manager -d [12:11] VeasMKII: i sure hope its available, otherwise im going back to karmic, and then upgrade...

Every time, I try to connect, it starts connecting, and then, as soon as it's about to get connected, it freezes the entire computer, so I have to hard reboot. Is there some file that got corrupt that I can replace? Ubuntu 9.04 64bit Gnome. [12:13] please help [12:13] why the 10.04 doesnt start in recovery mode. neither on pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 turns into virtual mode [12:13] om26er: it's been a day and still no release in their own systems?

[12:14] vipin, check oracle's support on google for it [12:14] Hey I've got somewhat out of a problem. I turned off my system running ubuntu 10.04 by holding the power-button for 5 seconds - Now, when I try to mount anything via GNOME it says I'm unauthorized [12:14] twiztid: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra? [12:14] uh, guys, I think I screwed up real bad: I left my computer while it was still downloading 10.04. What i'm afraid happened is that the charger disconnected (it does that all the time) and that the computer ran out of power while updating. Now it doesn't even get to the bootscreen before it shuts down by itself. Any tips? anything I should try myself, or should I send it to the manufacturer [12:14] is there any way to fix that? [12:15] VeasMKII: at thx to people like you make the ubuntu community great! =) [12:15] cryzed, to fix what? [12:15] Sia--, Simply being able to mount the devices via Nautilus again [12:15] Sia--, instead of getting an error message that I'm not authorized [12:15] Hello, I can't install Ubuntu 10 on my computer because it's saying there's something using the mount on the CDROM. There's nothing in the CDrom, I'm using a USB image, and there's no program accessing the CDROM, how do I fix this and make it let me install Ubuntu? [12:15] minimec: awesome! see? yall are awesome! thx alot! thats hella cool, thanks again all!!! [12:15] just reboot and do system check cryzed [12:16] cryzed: do a clean restart... fdisk should run automatically [12:16] Sia--, system check as in? fsck.ext4? [12:16] Alright then [12:16] hello, I am connecting to the internet via nm-applet, through a 3G/EDGE/HSDPA modem, recently, I started getting freezes on it. Every time, I try to connect, it starts connecting, and then, as soon as it's about to get connected, it freezes the entire computer, so I have to hard reboot. Is there some file that got corrupt that I can replace? Ubuntu 9.04 64bit Gnome. [12:16] twiztid: So you got it done? [12:16] (It's that way for CDs too just so you know) [12:16] why the 10.04 doesnt start in recovery mode. neither on pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 turns into virtual mode [12:16] So I don't know if it's related to a damaged hard-disk [12:16] igoryonya: see if you see some error in the system logs [12:16] Sia--, Why would that fix it? [12:16] Sia--, seems to me like a configuration file is messed up [12:17] ravenkhan, if that is happening it means the boot process is hanging very early [12:17] igoryonya: there are certain modem/SIM/ISP combinations that have that behavior... [12:17] when I try to upgrade ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10 I get "can't recalculate upgrade" - can I backtrack packages somehow so as to get past this?

[12:17] Sia--, uhh alright [12:17] joaopinto: what tha means? [12:17] ravenkhan, it means it may be related to plymouth/mountall [12:17] Ose: does not boot into recovery mode either? [12:17] minimec: yup yup, thx to u and VeasMKII! saw it in the software center and a even quicker terminal line; thx again all [12:18] viperborg, use alternate cd not live [12:18] can't... no burner.

[12:18] hi guys. I use Network Manager to connect to a DSL connection. Network Manager tries two times to connect, and if it fails, then it won't try again.

[12:39] Roddney: I do [12:39] vega, thanks, it was the problem, fixed [12:40] i installed lucid and now when i type in my password in gdm, it just returns me back to the initial login screen. i cna't log in. help! [12:40] hai [12:40] Roddney: I have two 'old' ones, a 9600 mobility, and a x1250 [12:40] is there an IRC channel for Network Manager? [12:40] gucko: yes [12:40] igoryonya: diff would help in tracking but that just takes a lot of time... If it does work with a new user then clear out the confs related to your problems [12:40] erUSUL: please tell me!

[12:41] viki, and still a problem? [12:41] om26er: yes [12:41] Roddney: They only use the opensource driver. Yours i newer. I guess you can use the fglrx driver. Check system administration hardware drivers, if you have the fglrx option. [12:41] erUSUL: is iirc an IRC network?! [12:41] recently i installed lucid lynx but after installation &restarting the computer the system is getting hanged up what should i do? [12:41] viki, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser what does that show? [12:41] the[V]oid: pkill qt-creator [12:41] erUSUL: or is the channel on freenode? [12:41] Ek|mu5: The reason I asked about diff is because, I have no Idea about how can I figure out which configs create the problem if the new user works. [12:42] Caesi: http://tinyurl.com/27mrltk && http://tinyurl.com/2davm2g [12:42] gucko: no iirc is if i recall correctly [12:42] abbumounik, same issue it gets hanged up at - [12:42] erUSUL: yes but how do I get qtcreator to runß [12:42] gonna copy/paste...

[12:43] but no working. [12:43] Ek|mu5: ok, thanx [12:43] !screen | cyy [12:43] cyy: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.

[12:44] cyy: start the app as a daemon? dunno how itd go if you have ui though [12:44] cyy: screen is one way, using nohup, or just disowning the job after running it are two other ways. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages [12:44] I was smart enough to start a do-release-upgrade on a machine at home, from the office. I left the office before the machine was done. Now, there's obviously a dialog or something that needs my input, because the upgrade hasn't completed. Can I start do-release-upgrade again, and it will continue where the other one left off? [12:44] damn lucid this new irc client is crap. can't scroll up to see what has been written before, it keeps scrolling down all the time [12:44] recently i installed lucid lynx but after installation &restarting the computer the system is getting hanged up what should i do? [12:45] Milligan: wouldn't count on that... [12:45] the[V]oid: use x-chat [12:45] it isn't a gui app, though getting access to its stdout/stdin again when I log in (even if I have to run a command) would be nice [12:45] I'll look at screen and nohup... [12:45] cyy: use screen then [12:45] abbumounik, black screen with a "-" ?? [12:45] my "vanilla" 9.10 crashed while updating to 10.4, did they even test this fucking release ?

I forgot what I did in karmic :) [12:56] pepee: no [12:56] is it possible to run windows vitually, without it being slow ? [12:56] gonna try removing some packages... [12:56] jrib: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librmagick-ruby/+bug/565461 [12:56] jrib: well the only difference listed is "possible installing and removing packages"... but it doesnt make a judgement as to which is better for a general update of the machine...

[12:57] Ek|mu5: i did used the command, but how to find out? [12:57] coz_, dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc does not help? [12:57] shouldn't the update procedure be more transactional, when it gets stuck in the middle just revert and when done commit ? [12:57] red: open hardware drivers in administration and look if there's a newer graphic driver, helped me [12:58] I have gparted [12:58] frikinz, no that wont do it [12:58] but will i be able to run flash, photoshop, visual studio, sql server, and programs like that with no problem, for example, will my ram and processing power be fine ? [12:58] WXZ: however it's a pain to install windows AFTER installing linux [12:58] I don't need to boot the install disk [12:58] WXZ: ubuntu can work without swap. but you may want to set up a swapfile [12:58] I already have win installed [12:58] PC_Nerd101: you want to use full-upgrade and read output before accepting what it will do [12:58] swapnap: find out what? [12:58] talmai: I'm using the same driver than I used before reinstall [12:58] can i revert somehow to 9.10 on the cmd line ?

[13:11] cyy, what is the problem? [13:11] cyy: I would tell you how if I knew, but I don't [13:11] zetheroo: yeah - though it must take quite an effort to have the entire site updated/modified for the new release given that most of the time is spent preparing the distro for release. If there is no word I pressume it will be out in a few days or so [13:11] how should I disable apparmor completely [13:11] K-4U: using the update-manager or the console?

SInce it hangs anyway you probably have no choice other than killing it and sort out the damage manually [13:18] hello all [13:18] c3l, the downside of a realtime kernel is a realtime kernel, you dont want that unless you run an embedded system [13:18] can someone please help me mount my hard drive for some reason i dont have permission to do so [13:18] anyone know the replacement for update-rc.d command? [13:19] acicula: realtime has nothing to do with being embedded [13:19] acicula, do you mind clarifying? [13:19] Prajwal: thanks. Looks like the ticket... [13:19] stefg: Okay then.. let's try to kill it and restart it again.. hopefully nothing will be badly damaged! Thanks for the help! :) [13:19] budiw: why? [13:19] Chousuke, how do you mean [13:19] K-4U: don't run update-manager yet, try sudo apt-get -f install first [13:19] c3l: a "realtime" kernel means that the latency of operations in the system is predictable [13:19] c3l, you can set a soft real time flag on a process but it breaks all kinds of stuff [13:19] is it possible to intall an older version of ffmpeg (the one that came with 9.10?) === Nomad_ is now known as Wanderer [13:20] MaT-dg1: why do you want to?

Checked setting in sound pref. and in terminal alsa mixer. no go yet. [13:20] c3l: it's usually done by trading throughput for decreased/more predictable latency [13:20] , it worked perfectly before the upgrade. now the led light indicates "ON" all the time, and the switcher switch just bluetooth. it used to switch both wifi and bluetooth. but still i can turn off wifi adapter using the network manager [13:20] Chousuke, ah I see, thanks [13:20] acicula: two different kinds of "realtime" here. [13:20] jrib om26er: current one doesn't have al the encoders that I want and now my vlc streams are broken [13:20] latenal, ah like so [13:20] budiw: if it uses upstart, just rename /etc/init/service.conf to /etc/init/service.conf.disabled (you can use something other than "disabled" if you prefer) [13:20] just thought i would say hi [13:21] MaT-dg1: be more specific [13:21] yo yo yo [13:21] ChosenOne, you mean hard and soft real time or something else [13:21] rsa, dsa.. which one is public, and which is private key?

[13:22] acicula: realtime priority basically means "let this process run whenever it wants" which can indeed break things. but a realtime kernel doesn't do that [13:22] yes [13:22] and i've got the private key from my vps [13:22] Hey, can somebody help? I've always been able to mount my external USB HDD without problems, but now I suddenly get an error 'Not authorized' when I try to mount it [13:23] Chousuke, ah like so [13:23] Craiggles: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-dsa suggests putty favors rsa [13:23] , any idea how to fix it? [13:23] K-4U: good. the idea is to fix broken dependencies and configure pending packages before you retry to do an upgrade. Maybe it that even completes the upgrade by itself [13:23] is there any MacOs style Dock application for Lucid?

[13:23] alright [13:23] Chousuke, its been awhile since i made the mistake of playing with the realtime option on processes :) [13:23] Craiggles: I think you have to use some sort of conversion tool though, at least to use my ssh keys with putty I had to [13:24] excellent, wireless works again. [13:24] with openssh rsa is default also... so better stick to that [13:24] can someone tell me what happend to hplip? [13:24] !dock [13:24] red: navigator nor manager ;) [13:24] Red: look at gnome-do and the "docky" theme [13:24] jrib: hold on, I can't open my v4l2 devices for some reason now so I can't reproduce the error [13:24] red, AWN is the best dock you can get, it rocks [13:24] caac: do you want normal releases or just LTS releases?

[13:25] pallgone, i'll check it out, thx for the tip [13:25] overmind, but how do I do it, then? I can't find the icon to double-click when navigating Nautilus as sudo [13:25] pallgone: hidden awn in comgination with gnome-do... ;) [13:25] Hi. I'm on 10.04 and since I installed it (RC) I have not received any updates. Why? [13:25] im just used to using a dock on my windows box and I find I miss it still [13:25] Markyyy: you use the « cd » command. Be more specific about what you are trying to do. Also, pastebin your (relevant) terminal session [13:25] !dock [13:25] oh, and by the way; im' having the same bug as what i've had with previous versions of ubuntu [13:25] what file do i need to edit to change my login screen's resolution? [13:25] i like my panel and apps separate [13:25] caac: yes, normal [13:25] my internet connectoin sometimes just disconnects [13:25] oik: The official version of 10.04 is out.. why are you still running the RC? [13:25] and it tries to reconnect, but never does [13:25] so I have to restart [13:25] it did this with 9.04 as well [13:25] Lademord: There was a command for terminal, mount or something like that, but I don't remember, maybe another one from this channel knows [13:25] oik: sorry.. i meant final, not official [13:25] red try docky [13:25] K-4U, right, shouldn't it update on it's own [13:25] jrib: ic.. so I just disabled the upstart? [13:26] K-4U: you should be wise enough to know 2 things: 1.) never do anything potentially dangerous without a backup. 2.) ubuntu releases are time-based.

To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [13:26] normal it is then, thx jrib [13:26] jrib: what is the command equivalent with update-rc.d ? [13:26] , try glx (cairo-dock) [13:26] brucey: will check it if awn isn't what I'm looking for [13:26] that too, ty [13:26] jrib, i'm trying to split a file that is in a folder within a folder within a folder within a folder [13:26] awns quite buggy tbh m8 [13:26] budiw: did you read our earlier discussion? I answered this [13:26] jri [13:26] oh [13:26] !pm > abbumounik [13:26] abbumounik, please see my private message [13:26] i am having some troubles with my hard disk 500GB completely fulled with data. i got some problems mounting it with 10.04. i got NFS something problem. the hard disk was formated in ext3. i ran sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdc1 on the disk and apparently it is stuck on "Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes". can someone tell me whether it is working or not. thanks [13:27] jrib: yes, you told me to edit /etc/init/services.conf [13:27] jrib, and i cant paste my terminal session becuase im on my ipod touch [13:27] stefg: Yeah.. i know.. well.. it wouldn't be that bad if i lost linux right now.. i only installed it 4 days ago [13:27] budiw: no, "service" is a variable [13:27] darksifer, let it run, it can take a loooong time [13:27] jrib: ic ic.. [13:27] How can I load X server on live cd with VESA instead of RADEON driver ? [13:27] ok thank you very much [13:27] darksifer: i got NFS something problem. <<< tha's not very informative. give as the exact command you used to mount it and the exact output [13:27] jrib: i just open my /etc/init/ [13:27] budiw: I mean, find the corresponding file for the service you want to disable [13:27] K-4U: you might consider a clean reinstall then anyway [13:27] i am not able to remove the python-lazr.restfulclient [13:27] package after upgrade from karmic to lucid (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JGkyjAti). Can anybody help me? [13:27] darksifer, it will finish or give an error eventually [13:28] stefg: well.. lets just hope this all works out right :) [13:28] jrib: yes.. [13:28] jrib: what if the service is not in /etc/init/ directory ? [13:28] Markyyy: all I can tell you is to use cd then. It shouldn't be too hard to type the command you are using so we can tell you why it doesn't do what you want [13:28] jrib: but always started up after a reboot. === Guest71668 is now known as Zensursula [13:29] budiw: Wasn't /etc/inid.d/ ? [13:29] budiw: /etc/init.d/ [13:29] erUSUL: when mounting it says "Error mounting: mount: Stale NFS file handle". so i ran e2fsk [13:29] budiw: then it's not using upstart. You should be able to use update-rc.d, BUT you shouldn't be using update-rc.d anyway. Use sysv-rc-conf or bum [13:29] whats the dafult launch thing for when we log into 10.04? (plasma-desktop?) [13:29] jrib: cd /media [13:29] budiw: many daemons use old SysV [13:29] Markyyy: yes, that puts you in /media...

[13:30] budiw: what service is this by the way? [13:30] its ok i see some progress [13:30] darksifer: but did you ever used nfs on the machine partition ? [13:30] jrib: then i try typing cd /D406F99B06F97EB4 [13:30] harjot: metacity is the window manager of the gnome environment. [13:30] Who's the one looking into the Poulsbo prob? Just curious [13:30] minimec: the process which showws the desktop and everything? [13:30] minimec: imtrying t find that [13:30] jrib: libvirtd and dnsmasq that loaded by libvirtd [13:30] minimec: cause my lucid isnt working [13:31] minimec: is it plasma-desktop? [13:31] i installed lucid lynx in my system it is doing fine within 2mts the system is getting hanged up what should i do? [13:31] harjot: Compiz is enabled by default if your PC is ready for 3D acceleration [13:31] jrib: btw, I did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' [13:31] jrib: and it then says No such file or directory [13:31] harjot: If you are using KDE, it would be plasma [13:31] jrib: so this installation is not a clean install [13:31] minimec: so plasma for kde [13:31] hey there [13:31] harjot: yes. [13:31] Markyyy: ok. do you understand what an initial '/' represents? That's the root of the partition, the top. That's not what you want. You are in /media and you want to go to the directory called "D406F99B06F97EB4" in it. So you would just use the /relative/ path: « cd D406F99B06F97EB4 » [13:31] minimec: ok thanks [13:31] pallgone, i check kupfer, imo it can't replace AWN [13:31] harjot: ... if you hace 3D support for your card. [13:32] I'm using a tiling window manager and was wondering what the appropriate way of configuring a static ip on the eth0 interface is, considering I dont have networkmanager [13:32] jrib: there's no sysv-rc-conf [13:32] budiw: apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't change releases [13:32] ok ok jrib, much appreciated [13:32] hey, does anybody know if the little video to usb adapters work in ubuntu?

I do this everytime I upgrade [13:34] ok [13:34] darksifer: i would not interrupt fsck while working [13:34] jrib: this computer installed from 8.10 release [13:34] Anyone had a problem with Totem that can help? [13:34] budiw: if it went smooth, you are probably okay... but that's not the recommended way [13:34] jrib: what should I do then?

I'm trying to get qcad to print - it apparently uses /etc/printcap which is hopelessly outdated! Is it ok to "rm /etc/printcap" , "ln -sf /var/run/cups/printcap /etc/printcap"? Maybe there's a better way? [13:36] hi guys. ubuntu got frozen 3 times today. Also I see some text during booting. How can I know the reason of the freeze also how can I read the text that I get during booting? I can't read it cuz it boots too fast! [13:36] How do I change the +/- buttons back to the Up/Down arrows? [13:36] afternoon - ive got a bluetooth gps dongle, and ive setup rfcomm. I can connect and xgps/gpspipe -r recieves data [13:36] hi guys [13:36] however any apps like gpsdrive, or gmapcatcher doesn't seem to be getting the gps data and won't display a location [13:36] hi [13:36] jrib: then I should install sysv-rc-conf then? [13:36] do you know why adobe flash in firefox uses 100% cpu? [13:37] ikm: bakcup the old file just incase, rather than deleting. If it works then you can then delete. If not you have a rollback path [13:37] gucko: Use recovery in grub, and read what fails [13:37] im sure ive had this before, but I can't remeber why, but perhaps its permissions related? [13:37] ikm: that's probably something that you may be able to get some added information for if you search bugs.ubuntu.com, no idea what the recommended thing for you to do would be however [13:37] oh wait, it is part of the themes, they've just been changed nevermind :) [13:37] budiw: if you want to, sure [13:37] darksifer: nope sorry; never been on such situation ... let me google a bit [13:37] ssn: firefox sucks with ram and so does flash [13:37] Hi, is there some device that allows tunneling of USB ports via network to connect USB printers/scanners via ethernet? Logilink UA0079 seems to do that, however there is no statement about linux or the need of proprietary drivers.

[13:37] budiw: did you answer my question about what service this was that you wanted to disable? [13:37] M0DCM_Dave: be more specific [13:37] ssn: if you use a 64bit OS you can use 64bit flash to make it a bit slicker [13:37] whats the difference of a green and a purple file in the console? I have some .mkv files that are green and some are purple, how come?

[13:58] yohannInt: I can't help you if you don't answer my questions [13:58] i tried using startup manager but with no luck [13:58] ActionParsnip_: so the wifi does not work at all... but on the other hand the list of the different wifi networks available is populated correctly... [13:59] err startup applications [13:59] jrib, okay thx .. [13:59] How do I remove ms ttf fonts, I hate those tiny webfonts! [13:59] lucid is just one big mistake so far -,- [13:59] lol. [13:59] I guess I found a bug on jaunty/karmic/lucid, [13:59] one? [13:59] I have found at least five [13:59] the[V]oid, i thought the same yesterday [13:59] jrib: i answered your questions [13:59] USB ports powering down after a random time [13:59] i'm using an nvidia card [14:00] it was totally fcked [14:00] MaT-dg: that should work afaik. Try to verify or disprove that. That's what I would do before trying to do something more drastic like rebuilding ffmpeg myself [14:00] I got that bug since jaunty [14:00] i am not able to connect to any wireless access point with my atheros card. it was working with karmic, after upgrade i can see the networks, but whenever i try to connect to my router, wicd says that my password is wrong [14:00] jrib: This has been fixed in Debian unstable package librmagick-ruby 2.13.0-1 but i do not know how to install this package [14:00] of course the password is correct [14:00] Ayla, file it as a bug please .. attach your zipped up /var/logs directory [14:00] yohannInt: you have not. I've asked you twice if you rebuilt the package and installed it... [14:00] jrib: yes i did === tom__ is now known as tca [14:00] SandGorgon: I already did, months ago [14:01] yohannInt: can you pastebin what happened exactly when you did? [14:01] in power management preferences, I can't see the "On Battery Power" tab. which software package should I install ? I'm using Lucid [14:01] SandGorgon: and the problem of that bug is that there's no trace of it on the logs :) [14:01] felon: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ [14:01] viki_: try using a wired connection to get fully updated. This can help [14:01] it gives me this librmagick-ruby_2.11.1-1_amd64.build [14:01] yohannInt: SO?

(Or, rather, how I should troubleshoot it?) [14:02] BusMaster, that mean its not detecting your batter [14:02] maybe [14:03] ty.VeasMKII [14:03] Hmm... Its speeding up now of its own accord... === tom__ is now known as tca === TannerF-zzz is now known as TannerF [14:03] yohannInt: give me a second while I test this on my laptop [14:03] ActionParsnip_: wired connection works... i have already upgraded the system... [14:04] why dont midle click wok in linux (on scroll bar?) [14:04] thank you jrib [14:04] om26er, but it was working when I installed lucid. Then I deleted some packages which had dependencies and caused other packages to get deleted..now i don't know what was kept and what was not [14:04] stimpie: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/532174 [14:04] When turning on my speakers I only got noise..

[14:07] stimpie: That's true. I forgot. [14:07] dancallo: oh, you can always switch servers or just download the alternate CD over bittorrent and upgrade from that [14:08] hadn't thought about the bittorrent route. thanks [14:08] SanGordon: I checked and the floppy drive was disabled.

[14:11] anodesni: menu.lst is gone grub2 has other config [14:11] !grub2 | anodesni [14:11] anodesni: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:11] anodesni: its gone [14:11] sh*t [14:11] why it works fine [14:11] toyman61: you would better just question perhaps somebody help you [14:11] can someone help me with the following: while running the livecd i get a blanc screen. using 'nomodeset' I can boot without a blanc screen but during the splash my system hangs. caps en scroll lock on.. Booting without the splashscreen shows the system booted hangs on running /scripts/init-bottom Last thing is displayed is: * setting sensors limit [ok] [14:11] grub2 is nice [14:11] Hi, does anyone know a way to run an always-on VNC server that presents the GDM login screen? This used to be possible with xinetd but that no longer works. [14:11] any of you guys notice *slowdown* during bootup from previous releases? [14:12] anodesni: you don't need it now [14:12] well, ubuntu has killed my mandriva grub entries [14:12] my new install seems to have slowed doesn booting up!

Grrrrrr [14:12] FoolsRun: try NXServer from NoMachine, way better than VNC [14:13] HollowPoint: I use NX for outside my network, but inside my network I use Mac clients and want to make user of the built-in VNC "share screen" buttons in Finder. [14:13] Unsurprisingly "use NX" is the only response anyone ever seems to get to this question. It's not what I asked. [14:13] I just did a fresh re-install of ubuntu 10.04 and so far so awesome, until I tried to set up my VPN. I had it working in 9.10, so I wrote down all my settings and then when I got over to 10.04, I installed network-manager-vpnc. So then I went in an entered all my settings exactly as I had had them in 9.10, but when I try to connect, it says "VPN Connection failed because there were no valid vpn secrets". What does that m [14:13] ean? [14:13] a [14:14] Klick: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock [14:14] yeah that probably won't work, VNC used by Apples Remote Desktop is very very adapted and proprietary FoolsRun [14:14] hello.

[14:15] HollowPoint: But that's an individual's desktop --I want the login screen so I don't have to have an autologin user [14:15] Attempting to load the system libmoon [14:15] minimec, then i checked the software center it says sun' java plugin is not available for this type of computer (amd64) [14:15] Segmentation fault [14:15] e.g. python-gps [14:15] Kine: YOU have to activate the 'Partner' repository in synaptics. [14:15] Klick: does the link i gave not help? [14:15] seismicmike: does your vpn use a group/password or a certificate? [14:15] xin chào [14:15] jure64: if you rename ~/.mozilla does it run? [14:15] jrib: No luck -> http://pastebin.com/22jAdKUv. I've read things about that codec being removed due to licensing issues. I think the older version of ffmpeg is my only option [14:16] to my knowledge there is no VNC server for Linux that will automatically show you the GDM login screen without you manually going and finding out what the "per-session" magic cookie is set to first [14:16] MaT-dg: the older version of ffmpeg has the same problem. It only works with unstripped libavcodec [14:16] HollowPoint: alright, thanks. [14:16] Ogg players?: Amarok has completely flipped out after my upgrade to 10.04, not showing my saved ratings or lyrics. Can anyone suggest an ogg player with rating and lyrics display like Amarok, but with the ability to easily save and reuse elsewhere e.g. like saving it as Vorbis comment fields? [14:16] minimec, Downloadable from the internet is all checked, where is the partner thing [14:16] hence the suggestion for NX, because it's the closest thing to VNC (Uses VNC hooks etc) and allows you to login as a local user. [14:17] !player | Jeandre [14:17] Jeandre: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [14:17] hoanghonmautim [14:17] It's a bit of a pain to be honest, I've been after the same thing as you (Although not to use with Macs because I hate them) for a long time, and never found anything. [14:17] HollowPoint: yeah, I use and love NX --it'd just be nice to use OSX's built-in functions rather than running another application [14:17] zonbiereagan: it uses a group password. I have that info entered in the "group password" field, like I did in 9.10 [14:17] yohannInt: unsurprisingly, rebuilding the package fixes the issue. Why are you wasting my time? [14:17] !codecs [14:17] 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 [14:18] FoolsRun: most apps have webUIs so you can control / modify them there, yuo can always use ssh + x forwarding for a secure link :) [14:18] Kine: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [14:18] renaming .mozilla did it. [14:18] jrib: sorry to have made you wasting times : i tried to do this and this did not work for me, can you give the exact way to do it please jrib? [14:18] ActionParsnip: (first of all, great name) yeah, I've looked into all of that and it's all perfectly useable. There's just that "share screen" button in OSX that I _really_ want to make work :) [14:18] Upgraded to lucid and now the logout/logout prompt do not have a timer. Is there a way to get the timer back? [14:19] yohannInt: I did what I told you. rebuild the package and install the resulting debs. What did you do? Because when I asked if you did that, you told me you did [14:19] ActionParsnip_: the problem is he's wanting to be able to just install a VNC server on the Linux box and connect to it from OSX by a single click, in a nutshell [14:19] zombiereagan: as crazy as this sounds, perhaps a restart will help....? [14:19] jure64: ok so we know its a profile issue, if the old profile had settings you can try renaming back and chowning the profile to your username (can happen if you backed it up) [14:19] minimec, ah seems like they popped up now, installing and praying [14:19] miner: most people hated the timer. so it was removed. i doubt if its re-enablable [14:19] How difficult is it to have gnome and kde 4.4 run side by side? Which display manager, ie. gdm or kdm, should be used? [14:19] it helped this guy: http://www.cjtreasurechest.com/blog/index.php/2009/05/ubuntu-904-the-vpn-connection-failed-because-there-were-no-valid-secrets/ [14:19] Any gotchas? [14:19] seismicmike: maybe, im assuming you already tried retyping the login/pass [14:19] Dr_Willis: I actually like the timer.... Oh well thanks for the info... [14:19] zomniereagan: yeah [14:20] seismicmike: if it makes you feel any better, i use it too and dont have any problems === dpup-user is now known as lupu-user [14:20] MaT-dg: I don't know the specific. If you don't really care why, just rebuild ffmpeg and read the debian/rules carefully. There are usually some nice commented sections that will enable most of the stuff if you uncomment it. Or at least that's how it looked a few releases ago [14:20] seismicmike: so give a reboot a shot and see what happens [14:20] specifics* [14:20] HollowPoint: you can script stuff in linux remember ;) [14:20] xavieran: that shouldn't be hard at all; you can choose your manager at login [14:20] miner: there may be a way. google would be our friend. but most hits you find will be people wanting to disable it [14:20] is there a tool that measures the system's performance like in Windows rating tool ?? [14:20] yeah, I used it for months on 9.10 and had no trouble, so it's weird... I'll try a reboot and see what happens.... sorry uptime :( [14:20] FoolsRun: Yes, I mean, will it use the gnome or kde login screen (manager) [14:20] hacked_kernel: theres some linux benchmarks out you could play with [14:21] Dr_Willis: If it can be disabled then following the reverse should re-enable it. Thanks! I'll see if I can google it... [14:21] Dr_Willis, like? [14:21] ActionParsnip_: I checked md5 and its correct [14:21] hacked_kernel: that pheronix or whatever its called web site has a bencmhark suite i belive. [14:21] hacked_kernel, you can try hardinfo [14:21] hacked_kernel: powertop and phoronix-testing-suite. [14:21] xavieran: every time I've set it up it uses the GDM login screen [14:21] Can i ask a question concerning my wireless network here? [14:21] k456: just ask [14:21] FoolsRun: Ah, ok... I can live with that :) [14:21] xavieran: but that's probably because I'm too lazy to try to change it [14:21] k456: as long as its ubuntu related, sure [14:22] I can no longer connect to my wireless network using WEP/WPA or any other encryption method. Without it works just fine. [14:22] Dr_Willis: hacked_kernel http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=phoronix&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names [14:22] [ 5008.290638] raid1: Disk failure on sdb2, disabling device. <-- YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING < [14:22] k456: connect using a wire and get fully updatd [14:22] That HDD is brand new [14:22] yohannInt: still here? [14:22] tried that [14:22] yep jrib [14:22] yohannInt: did you see my question? [14:22] ActionParsnip_ : i never backed it up :S i think it's something to do with libmoon [14:22] New question: how do I make the keyring stop prompting on every login to unlock so that Remote Desktop (VNC) can be enabled? I believe this is the same problem as prompting for wireless every login [14:23] jrib:yep [14:23] XgF: ive seen someone on launchpad show this, i'd say it was a bug wit S.M.A.R.T [14:23] Why in microsoft office 2007 everything works except of acces in wine? I checked appdb and it sais that everything works ! [14:23] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992 [14:23] :| [14:23] ActionParsnip_: It would explain why IO has been so slow... [14:23] yohannInt: can you answer it? I'm going to go watch some bsg soon [14:23] is it just me or is ubuntu awful with flash player plugin? === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [14:23] for ffmpeg see http://goo.gl/3rln Webupd8 [14:23] belus: check the wine forums and winehq channel/website perhaps? [14:23] wait a minute [14:23] isoman2kx: flash player is aweful in general [14:23] XgF: log a bug dude [14:23] I would like to set up a proxy for my whole network connection. I know I can do so via System > Preferences > Network Proxy, but this network proxy still performs DNS lookups over the 'normal' network. Is there a way that enables me to send DNS lookups over the proxy as well? [14:24] Dr_Willis, do they have a irc channel? #wine? [14:24] i have been attempting to ubgrade to lucid but it fails to get 4 packages --supertux, lib32 and a couple others. should i just uninstall them and proceed? [14:24] jrib: yeah, but it takes 80 tries to view a video [14:24] !wine [14:24] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:24] surely there is a better way for flash video viewing? [14:24] isoman2kx: well not that aweful [14:24] Dr_Willis, thanks [14:24] isoman2kx: specify problem, flash is not know as a very efficient plugin (on all platforms) [14:24] isoman2kx: I am streaming online tv via flash for one hour now. smooth... [14:24] isoman2kx: many better ways.. but dosent really matter much does it. :) if the sites dont use any other way [14:24] Finally found a system that will boot 10.04. How can I setup the touchscreen on this system? It's recognised by default but any tap only goes to the top left of the screen. [14:24] wadda: if they aren't important, that's what I would do. You can reinstall them later [14:24] ActionParsnip_: hmm... Definitely sounds like a bug. Drive's SMART healthcheck passes according to smartctl [14:24] i installed wicd to find some more information. It keeps saying bad password, my router log says wrong password as well. I double checked several times, but can not find the error === piju is now known as piju[QRX] [14:25] mat-dg: as in. I can see the preview of the video I'm about to click play on, but when I click play it doesn't play most of the time. and when I click play on the bottom left of a youtube video, doesn't work either [14:25] hi all [14:25] hey vak_ [14:25] XgF: i disable smart, i backup every 6 hours so I dont care if it craps out [14:26] is it recommended to use a antivirus with ubuntu, i know you dont have to but ... what about the avast for linux ? anyone using it ....?

[14:26] jrib i do it again : sudo apt-get source librmagick-ruby1.8 [14:26] jrib, okay. does update-manager keep a log so i can double check the file names? [14:26] yea i know that but im not on windows nor have it any more [14:27] mat-dg: I don't know if it's a mouse click bug (maybe on videos lol).

[14:28] congrats on another excellent release ubuntu-team, in 12 years of usage its the first time I've ever installed a linux distro and *nothing* needed fixing, impressive [14:28] rebooted [14:28] Which causes the computer slows down when a lot of applications are running, the RAM or CPU? [14:29] om26er: hi, so I installed pybootchart and restarted twice. What now? [14:29] speaking of which: HOLY FAST BOOT BATMAN!!! Including POST, I had a login screen in 18 seconds! [14:29] AnActivist: sounds horrible, my advice would be to seek a library (ask ##c) or if you can't find one, use a language that has one [14:29] AnxiousNut, mostly the hard drive (which is a shortage of RAM) [14:29] Mahara: http://ark.intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?familyID=22731 are those CPUs em64t or just 64? [14:29] removing moonlight solved the problem, ActionParsnip_. [14:29] gnoob: df -h ? [14:30] Hi, guys is Lucid 64bit can run 32bit programs or is it a complete 64bit system [14:30] sinux: you can use ia32-libs to run 32bit apps [14:30] sinux: see the ia32* packages [14:30] Mahara, df -h was just what I needed Thanks a lot.. was trying different ways of using "du" but "df" did the trick. thanks a lot [14:30] ciao a tutt [14:30] seismicmike: did you have to tweak anything or did you get the fast boot just by installing? my boot up have become much slower than *any* previous fresh ubuntu installation :( [14:30] stimpie: currently i have 512MB,so if i got another 512MB, it'll work faster and better? [14:31] sinux: you will need to satisy 32bit lib dependancies by putting the .so files in /usr/lib32 [14:31] ok, I had some trouble installing the Flash player [14:31] how do I disable +'s in nautilus's list view ? [14:31] is there bug in lucid wifi? [14:31] jure64: what was the magic bullet? === k is now known as Guest83482 [14:31] Avasz|DebXo: What are the symptoms? [14:31] gnoob: for more information see man df ; and read http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [14:31] that was the magic bullet, ActionParsnip_. removing moonlight solved the problem. [14:32] hao can I using c++ source? [14:32] ActionParsnip_, when I try to install it from the adobe site using the APT it give a error [14:32] freakabcd: I didn't time it right after install but it was pretty fast then too [14:32] jrib: i am running the command, thank you for your help, i hope you are right [14:32] sinux, I assume you tried sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree first? [14:32] if i run update-manager -d, does it keep a log? what is it called and where is it stored? [14:32] saying that the flash player plug-in is virtual [14:32] minimec, i cant conect to any wifi.. it connect at first but after 5 mins it disconnects and i cant reconnect bak.. it also lwyas saay wlan0 down [14:32] isoman2kx: 1) close firefox 2) remove current flash player(s) 3) Download http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz 4) extract libflashplayer.so to .mozilla/plugins 5) Done [14:32] vak_, : You have to click your specific CPU there and you will find more info [14:32] yohannInt: well that should have been exactly what you did already, there's nothing special there [14:33] AnxiousNut, more will always help. Look at how swap/cpu is used with the system monitor [14:33] sinux: install what? [14:33] mat-dg: will do captain. stand by [14:33] seismicmike: not just after ijnstall.. after a few reboots it is still the same slwo speed for me :( [14:33] dunno why it is happening [14:33] I would like to set up a proxy for my whole network connection. I know I can do so via System > Preferences > Network Proxy, but this network proxy still performs DNS lookups over the 'normal' network. Is there a way that enables me to send DNS lookups over the proxy as well? [14:33] noir_lord, I didin't do that [14:33] AnxiousNut: with more ram you can set a lower vm.swappiness value too :) [14:33] hmmm [14:33] hardware? [14:33] sinux, thats how I generally install the plugin, the package will pull down the latest flash and take care of installing it for you [14:34] * stimpie is spoiled with 8GB [14:34] hello all, [14:34] hola [14:34] I need some help please [14:34] seismicmike: dell laptop, nvidia 7400 go gpu, 2G ram [14:34] networkiing is difficult [14:34] hmmmmm [14:34] ne7work, just ask to ask, just ask [14:34] everyting on this laptop has been supported for a very long time by default on linux [14:34] so its not something that magically changed [14:34] not sure what the issue might be, sorry :( [14:34] Avasz|DebXo: Hmmm... I had that too. I reconfigured my router(!) and it passed away. I use WPA-PSK and I found an option WPA-PSK-AUTO in the router firmware. Could be a WPA thing. [14:34] jrib: waow thiw works, my command was not ok, as i did not installed it correctly [14:35] mat-dg: that last step you said about extracting... [14:35] how do i do that? [14:35] jrib: thank you very much [14:35] stimpie, I can't choose partition for install? [14:35] minimec, i wont even see any wifi essids [14:35] was there a netbook edition for 9.10, and if so where can I find it? I can't find the archives of past releases on ubuntu.com [14:35] yohannInt: ok, in the future it's better to say that you do not know how to do something than to guess [14:36] Avasz|DebXo: Check iwconfig in a console. Is the card available? then check dmesg, to see if the card loads correctly. [14:36] ActionParsnip_: OK, disabled SMART, rebooted, disk has dropped again [14:36] ok jrib, its very usefull to have guys like you here, i'll not forget [14:36] :) [14:36] I think I need to contact A) My PSU's manufacturer B) my disks manufacturer [14:36] !download | TomJ [14:36] TomJ: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Lucid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [14:36] minimec, ok [14:36] ActionParsnip_: thanks [14:36] isoman2kx: can't find th folder? [14:36] XgF: try some boot options [14:36] just downloaded the drivel source package.help how to compile it manually [14:36] ActionParsnip_, this the error got "Package 'adobe-flashplugin' is virtual." [14:37] sinux: use the 64bit flash dude, its pretty decent [14:37] ActionParsnip_: Before the disk dropped, it was writing at 75kb/s. I think its a dud [14:37] sinux: do not use the stupid deb from the adobe site, it causes a mess [14:37] yes, Then I installed it from the synaptic [14:37] now it's ok [14:37] was surprised by flash 10, it now plays grooveshark without hogging an entire core (its still not light on resources but its a step in the right direction) [14:37] minimec, in iwconfig wlan0 is not up [14:37] sinux: thats 32bit flash running through nspluginwrapper [14:37] I can't see partitions and i can't install please someone help me :( [14:38] i tried ifconfig wlan0up too [14:38] sinux: to install flash on a 64 system try this http://tinyurl.com/kkaa3e [14:38] but it doesnt seem to work [14:38] hi, my ubuntu keeps rebooting after upgrading to 10.04. i have a PCI nvidia graphic card. I suspect Nouveau was the cause. How can I disable Nouveau and use proprietary nvidia driver?  [14:38] ActionParsnip_, ok [14:38] just downloaded the drivel source package.help how to compile it manually [14:38] can someone help me? [14:38] while running the livecd i get a blanc screen. using 'nomodeset' I can boot without a blanc screen but during the splash my system hangs. caps en scroll lock on.. Booting without the splashscreen the system hangs on /scripts/init-bottom Last thing displayed: * setting sensors limit [ok] [14:39] Mahara, i'll do that and let you know [14:39] Avasz|DebXo: Ok. Is there a button on the laptop, which enables wlan? Is wlan on? again check dmesg, to see if the card loads correctly. [14:39] Is it dangerous to get rid of evolution? [14:39] sinux: as for your problem, there is a bug in Launchpad http://tinyurl.com/3y2avls [14:39] I've been trying to install 10.4 - both Desktop and Notebook versions - on a Dell Latitude 100L. It's old and slow, but it mostly worked in 9.10. in 10.4, it crashes when booting from the live CD; I get the 5 dot progress bar for a while, then a black screen, then shutdown [14:39] I hate the thing and never use it, but I don't want to break any other functionality [14:39] xavieran: remove the icons from the menus.. and dont worry about it? [14:39] xavieran: No, feel free, it is a bad email client anyways :) [14:40] what's a bad e-mail client? [14:40] hi folks [14:40] network is just bad in mine [14:40] hey guys, is there a way to minimize gwibber to the tray? or the indicator applet? [14:40] younger: reading a few sites - and this one mentions blacklisting the nouveau module - but its to use the drivers from nvidia.com - perhaps similer thing is needed -> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [14:40] mikelifeguard: Thanks :D , Dr_Willis, it has a few daemons which chew up my ram ... [14:40] xavieran: cant say that ive ever noticed [14:41] please someone help me [14:41] sinux: remove all flash lpugins and use this script: http://pastebin.com/rSzaSAhf I assume you use firefox [14:41] anyone reccomend a site showing must have apps? [14:41] hi [14:41] mewshi_: outlook-express ;) [14:41] Dr_Willis: We can't all afford shiny new i7's ... [14:41] Dr_Willis: thank you. I will have a look and try it [14:41] how do i uninstall something thats not in my installed applications [14:41] sinux: if you use a different browser, change the plugins path [14:41] anyone had any problems with lucid lynx? [14:41] leeb9972: www.getdeb.net [14:41] hello [14:42] felon: sudo apt-get --purge remove package [14:42] stuartziane: I have problems [14:42] hi alexi5 [14:42] xavieran: this is a 3 yr old pc.. other pc is older. I dont see any 'evolution' stuff running except the evolution-alarm-notify [14:42] stuartziane: zero since alpha3 [14:42] leeb9972: linuxappfinder.com/ [14:42] mat-dg: no, I can't. where are my program files installed ? [14:42] ActionParsnip_, I use FireFox I just love it [14:42] has had zero problems, the only thing I had to do after install was move the buttons to the right (still don't get what they where thinking), install nvidia drivers and customise gnome how I like it [14:42] guys i just downloaded a .targz archive of a blog editor called "drivel".but i dont know how to compile it manually.help me [14:42] Hi> I am downloading the new Ubuntu and was wondering if there were any major improvements in Kubuntu because I thought I would give KDE a run [14:42] everything just worked out the box [14:42] sinux: i cant stand it, too slow [14:42] i have to say, the upgrade from karmic koala took a while (servers would have been busy!) but it was well worth it! [14:42] everything runs great [14:42] stuartziane: while running the livecd i get a blanc screen. using 'nomodeset' I can boot without a blanc screen but during the splash my system hangs. caps en scroll lock on.. Booting without the splashscreen the system hangs on /scripts/init-bottom Last thing displayed: * setting sensors limit [ok] [14:42] or is a majority of the changes only effected ubuntu/gnome [14:43] UbuntuLily: try #kubuntu [14:43] i am trying to choose between ubuntu and debian OS for a database server (postgressql) i want to setup.what advantages does ubuntu offer over debian ? [14:43] it's nice stuart for sure : [14:43] :) [14:43] ActionParsnip_, wht do you use ? [14:43] kerel: I get that too with 10.4 - both netbook and desktop versions [14:43] stuartziane: upgrade 9.10 10.04 on hp nc8000 --> painless [14:43] ActionParsnip_, just curious ;-0 [14:43] kerel: when does it happen for you? I put in the Live CD, I get the Ubuntu screen with a 5 dot progress bar, that moves for a while, then the screen goes black and doesnt come back [14:43] isoman2kx: .mozilla is a hidden folder in your home directory, to see it open nautilus en press CTRL-H [14:43] stuartziane: only issue i hyave had is slightly longer bootup time. i'm using a dell latitude d610 . [14:43] TomJ: find a workaround? [14:43] nice to hear :) [14:43] sinux: arora mainly but chromium daily too [14:43] i downloaded the deb file tho [14:43] ActionParsnip_, ok [14:43] the boot up time does seem to vary quite alot every time you boot [14:44] jrib: sysv-rc-conf didn't work [14:44] i didnt install thro apt-get [14:44] alexi, for a server its not as clear cut as for a desktop, ubuntu server generally stays slightly ahead of debian in terms of newer versions of software but they share a common base [14:44] kerel: no, havent tried anything yet. do you get the black screen at hte same point as me, after the progress bar and before seeing any menus or info screens? [14:44] I installed ubuntu on my SATA drive and I have 2 pata drives and when the computer boots its comes up with a black screen after the bios info.. I checked boot order in the bios and its all correct even when I hit f8 and manually tell it to boot from the sata it wont... so I have to go though a few (normally 4 boot cycles) and it finally loads ubuntu... whats going on? [14:44] budiw: can you be less vague? [14:44] hot boots are really quick, slower for me, which is unusual [14:44] ciao [14:44] felon: then use: sudo dpkg -r packagename if you want to emove it [14:44] mat-dg: ok. I see it now under z:\home\isoman2kx\.mozilla\ [14:44] i don't see ap lugins folder though [14:44] plugins [14:44] jrib: about my problem, a libvirtd that always started upon boot [14:44] noir_lord:so i guess it doesn't matter ? [14:45] WOw, the interface for 10.4 is awful... Is there a way to downgrade back to 9.10? [14:45] jrib: finally I remove libvirt-bin packages. [14:45] budiw: you're still being vague, I can't guess what you did [14:45] jrib: sorry.. [14:45] TomJ: I have blanc screen before the dots.. Using ' nomodeset' The system runs without getting blanc [14:45] jrib: I already install sysv-rc-conf [14:45] alexi, they are basically the same platform ubuntu is derived from debain so the differences are minor compared to say either against red hat [14:45] what if i dont know the exact package name [14:45] isoman2kx: ok, the plugin folder probably doesn't exist yet, just create it :) [14:45] the interface should be the same pretty much as it was in 9.10 [14:45] kerel: ok, where do I specify that? [14:45] jrib: and set the flag of libvirt-bin so didn't start at boot [14:45] jrib: but it still started upon boot. [14:46] cool ok :) [14:46] budiw: you mean at runlevel 2 right? [14:46] Hello. What are the proper steps to configure a new device added to an Ubuntu system? I have installed a BlackMagic DeckLink HD card. Obviously Ubuntu does not pop-up saying "New hardware found". So how can go about checking to see if this card is even recognized? lspci? I tried, shows nothing in regards to that card, unless it's called something else. [14:46] Is there a way to downgrade back to 9.10? [14:46] jrib: so I remove the libvirt-bin package. [14:46] !downgrade | mikebot [14:46] mikebot: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [14:46] lol. [14:46] ugh [14:46] mikebot: Downgrades are not recommendables, and we don't support that [14:46] when booting the cd you can select nomodeset with f6 [14:46] alexi, Id be hard pressed to choose between them, when it comes to servers I'm conservative about what I'd run (I only just stopped using Slackware on my home servers) [14:46] jrib: yes. [14:46] WHy would they move the buttons to the left side? [14:46] the way to downgrade would be a clean install of the previous version [14:46] so 10.04 is out... and I can't find one good reason to bother upgrading XD [14:46] TomJ: on the first splash where you can specify your language [14:47] kerel: well I dont get that far [14:47] And is there a way to get rid of certain things on the Indicator Applet? And to make it match the color of the other things on that toolbar? [14:47] mikebot: because they can. and for 'future' expansion [14:47] oooh anyone got the window docking thingy like windows 7 (sorry for my language) to work? [14:47] mikebot: You can change that in theme configuration [14:47] mikebot, I've been asking myself that for a while [14:47] how can I see what my computer's specs (processor/ram/hd) in Xubuntu? [14:47] kerel: I dont get to any menu or any options. I get progress bar for a while, then black screen/crash [14:47] Migi32: Insanely fast startup times? [14:47] hi. karmic was very slow on my laptop due to bad graphics drivers for the built-in intel graphics controller. do you think it will be faster (i.e. better drivers) with lucid? [14:47] I installed ubuntu on my SATA drive and I have 2 pata drives (for storage) and when the computer boots the computer stops with a black screen after the bios info.. I checked boot order in the bios and its all correct even when I hit f8 and manually tell it to boot from the sata it wont... so I have to go though a few (normally 4 boot cycles) and it finally loads ubuntu... whats going on? [14:47] TomJ: It is before the dots [14:47] And it seems like they changed the mouse sutff too [14:47] noir_lord:ok.thanks for your response. i feel i might go with ubuntu 10.04 since its a LTS release [14:47] TomJ: when you see a keyboard icon [14:48] kerel: ah ok, what do I press then? [14:48] any key [14:48] Migi32: the other releases are equally supported so no hurry yet [14:48] overmind: Where in that menu? [14:48] * stuartziane will return shortly [14:48] mat-dg: ok done. I forget. how do I change folder permissions? I can't extract to plugins [14:48] ClaytonW, ok that's a reason. I'll upgrade :) [14:48] kerel: got it [14:48] stuartziane: AWN can make apps minimise to the button which launched them [14:48] TomJ: after that you get a menu for language and with F6 you can select nomodeselect [14:48] (Did they not realize that in UNR the close button is still on the right side when a window is fully expanded... it makes for a very funny interface...) [14:49] can anyone help me please? [14:49] jrib: I followed the instructions for using a2ensite what is the web address for said site i tried http://address/sitename but it doesn't work [14:49] how can I see what my computer's specs (processor/ram/hd) in Xubuntu? [14:49] kerel: thanks, trying it [14:49] alexi5, it would not be a bad choice, I also looked at CentOS which has some advantages in a commercial setting [14:49] and before downgrading backign up all your precious documents is highly recommended [14:49] kerel. what's up? [14:49] Guest37154: but weren't you asking me about UserDir? [14:49] Presario2500: lshw, there's also some gui way but I forget [14:49] sunk8: while running the livecd i get a blanc screen. using 'nomodeset' I can boot without a blanc screen but during the splash my system hangs. caps en scroll lock on.. Booting without the splashscreen the system hangs on /scripts/init-bottom Last thing displayed: * setting sensors limit [ok] [14:49] stop! collaborate and listen! [14:49] hi all [14:50] kerel. Did you check the LiveCD before burning? [14:50] jrib: yes it thought a2ensite was an ubuntu thing for UserDir [14:50] Guest37154: is that what I told you? (it's not) [14:51] Also, on the fra right of my screen where it should have my username to logout it says 'No Indicators" ... is there a way to fix that? [14:51] *far [14:51] sunk8: burned 2 cd's and the same problem on x32 and amd64 [14:51] kerel. The cd might be curropt. chk out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [14:51] mikebot: see it under system ? [14:51] Are Lucid Lynx's buttons still stuck on the left, or are they on the right, as they are in Hardy Heron? [14:51] kerel. what's the specs of your pc? [14:51] http://docs.google.com/View?id=dff9kd6v_0ks23nmdw [14:51] geekphreak: Sorry, no... under themes? [14:52] !controls | Ahren_The_Magus [14:52] Ahren_The_Magus: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [14:52] kubuntu http://docs.google.com/View?id=dff9kd6v_0ks23nmdw [14:52] mikebot: no, clic on system at top, should be there [14:52] http://www.noirlorduk.karoo.net/wallpaper.png (1440x900 wallpaper, inkscape is great!) [14:52] isoman2kx: you shouln'd have to change permissions for that [14:52] I installed ubuntu on my SATA drive and I have 2 pata drives (for storage) and when the computer boots the computer stops with a black screen after the bios info.. I checked boot order in the bios and its all correct even when I hit f8 and manually tell it to boot from the sata it wont... so I have to go though a few (normally 4 boot cycles) and it finally loads ubuntu... whats going on? [14:52] Guest37154: anyway, I'll repeat what I told you earlier. Use « a2enmod » to enable UserDir. Once you enable it, you can create public_html in a user's directory and it will be accesible at localhost/~username [14:52] #join archlinux [14:52] Ahren_The_Magus: there are thousands of guides to switch it over. Did you not websearch a little first? [14:52] ActionParsnip_, Mahara thx guys it worked [14:52] kerel: I still get black scree with nomodeset :( any of those other options I should try? [14:52] sinux: welcome to 64bit flash :) [14:52] ActionParsnip_, your script was perfect [14:53] isoman2kx: are you working in ubuntu atm? not windows? (Z:\....\...) [14:53] sinux: theres also 64bit java if yuo need it [14:53] yes please [14:53] ActionParsnip_: I did, but the information I was finding was contradictory, and I'm considering the move from HH to LL, but haven't done so yet. Especially since update manager isn't seeing that Lucid's released yet, oddly enough. [14:53] http://docs.google.com/View?id=dff9kd6v_0ks23nmdw [14:53] sunk8: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, Asus P5K-E Wifi/AP, 4 GB DDR2 PC6400 800MHz dual channel, Geforce 9600GT 512MB PCI-E, soundblaster Creative Audigy [14:53] how can i get the mainpanel smaller? [14:53] mat-dg: yes, ubuntu. [14:53] sinux: its part of my installation script for my desktop systems. it also guts about 1/3 of the apps out and installs good stuff [14:54] TomJ: I have no other options for you [14:54] What do I need to install to make ubuntu usable for media playback? ie. DVD's mp3's and whatnot? [14:54] http://docs.google.com/View?id=dff9kd6v_0ks23nmdw [14:54] ActionParsnip_, ok [14:54] afternoon [14:54] kerel: ok thans anyway [14:54] xavieran, take a look at medibuntu :) [14:54] xavieran: add the medibuntu ppa and install libdvdcss2 and ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:54] xavieran: vlc, and some plugins :d [14:54] http://www.medibuntu.org/ [14:54] noir_lord: I did this 3 years ago and it was hell. Is it happier now? [14:54] I'll go with vlc [14:54] geekphreak: is vlc still single core compiled these days? [14:54] ActionParsnip_, is there a place where I can get that script [14:55] Do I have to partition my hd before using the windows installer since I want to dual boot to windows 7 or does it partition for me. === richard is now known as Guest43305 [14:55] ActionParsnip_: not sure [14:55] kerel. Ur comp specs are better than mine. n i'm running lucid flawlessly. But I had an issue like u mentioned. Had a cool ati card and refused to boot. With the onboard card it worked. [14:55] mrguser: ask in #windows ? [14:55] kerel. Did u try on another pc? [14:55] sinux: download the 64bit bin from www.java.com and copy it to opt, mark it as executable and run the file using sudo, you can then symlink the .so file to your mozilla plugins folder [14:55] xavieran, I've never had any issues getting media to work on Ubuntu but I came from a slackware background so doing things from a shell was 2nd nature, last time I used medibuntu it all just worked === TMK is now known as Guest71898 [14:55] Would you recommend incrementally upgrading from HH to LL, or just scrapping and installing it fresh? [14:56] Do I have to partition my hd before using the windows installer since I want to dual boot to windows 7 or does it partition for me. [14:56] btw. I'm quite happy with the new theme :) [14:56] geekphreak: it used to be. hopefully isnt now, its also why mplayer rocks it hard [14:56] I got a problem I couldn't login to my ubuntu-server it says Login tamed out after 60 seconds [14:56] noir_lord: the list of packages on that medibuntu site is a 403 error. What does it include? [14:56] Ahren_The_Magus: i would do from scratch :) [14:56] hi, is there some kind of a writeup on how to install Lucid on LVM + encrypted partitions? [14:56] sunk8: didnt tried on another pc. Unfortunately I have no onboard card [14:56] geekphreak: Sorry, I'm using UNR [14:57] geekphreak: the aly-out is a little different [14:57] mrguser: aint a ubuntu question ask #windows [14:57] TomJ, it has versions of packages that ubuntu can't distribute for legal reasons or has to be careful off in regards patents [14:57] I found some old documentation, but nothing that'd explain Lucid and how integrated the support for that is, if at all [14:57] jrib: ok thanks. can I add public_html to the skel directory to get that folder created each time a user is added [14:57] kerel. I think u should try on another pc. If it doesn't boot then the iso is bad. [14:57] is there anybody who speak english ?? [14:57] I upgraded to Lucid... Having a problem where whenever I drag a window, the whole system just freezes up on me.. [14:57] kerel. or check the md5sum [14:57] How do I find a list of the current drivers that are loaded? kinda like blacklist, but the opposite :P [14:57] machin: no [14:57] kubuntu 10.04 networkmanagement is disabled,how [14:57] ActionParsnip_, OK THX man your gr8 [14:57] i'd like to report it as a bug...so would that be filed under xserver? [14:57] VeasMKII, lsmod [14:57] VeasMKII: modprobe -l or lsmod [14:57] noir_lord: sure i meant what sort of things specifically? is it the same stuff that gets installed by ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [14:58] I installed ubuntu on my SATA drive and I have 2 pata drives (for storage) and when the computer boots the computer stops with a black screen after the bios info.. I checked boot order in the bios and its all correct even when I hit f8 and manually tell it to boot from the sata it wont... so I have to go though a few (normally 4 boot cycles) and it finally loads ubuntu... whats going on? [14:58] VeasMKII: like lsmod ? === mushroom is now known as mushroom900 [14:58] Then I'm glad I partitioned my drive so /home is kept isolated...though I think reinstalling all these apps will be a bit of a pain. Ah well, good day to you all. [14:58] hi everybody, i'm having some trouble [14:58] sinux: something like this, the filename changes so you may need to tweak a little: http://www.profarius.com/content/64bit-java-flash-deathroll [14:58] Hi, im having problem with Lynx boot time, which takes about 5min. I have bootchart generated, although I cant read it much. [14:58] with my graphics card on ubuntu 10.04 [14:58] TomJ, the last time I looked ubuntu-restricted didnt install things like the w32codecs [14:59] wagnix: is it dul boot? [14:59] sinux: if you use native plugins instead of silly abstraction then it will run cleaner [14:59] dual* [14:59] sunk8: Thanks for the advise [14:59] noir_lord, xavieran thanks :) [14:59] geekphreak, nope [14:59] noir_lord: ok thanks, once they fix their site I'll have a look at what extra it gives. thanks [14:59] kerel. did u try the safe graphics mode? [14:59] wow #ubuntu-women banned me for being sexist >.>... I litterally wasn't even talking about a gender [14:59] hi everybody, how can i set "safe graphics mode" on ubuntu 10.04? [14:59] hi all [14:59] How can I get in the safe graphics mode? [14:59] TomJ, suspect they got over loaded with the release of 10.04 it should be back up in a couple of days Id hope [14:59] ActionParsnip_, Thats wht i want to do thx for helping me [14:59] isoman2kx: the owner of those hidden folders should be you so there is no need to change permissions [14:59] I'm having a problem for a while [15:00] DarkTatka: use: dmesg | less look at the timestamps on the left, if yuo see a big gap then thats your issue [15:00] Is there a way to get rid of the evolution mail/empathy chat thing from the Indicator Applet on the notification bar? [15:00] mat-dg: yes, you would think. lol [15:00] kerel. you could try the safe graphics mode and also the vga= line. [15:00] help me to install a source package [15:00] kerel. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions check for more info. [15:00] HinHin, "sudo fetch me a sandwhich"? ;) [15:00] I got around it using nautilus but it ended up crashing firefox when I put that libshared file in my plugins directory [15:00] mikebot: right click it remove from panel? [15:00] mrguser, Did u got a reply for your question ? [15:00] how do I disable + marks in nautilus's list view ? [15:00] ActionParsnip_: Are you sure you respond to me? [15:00] sunk8, vga=? [15:00] Is there a support channel for ubunto windows installer. [15:00] DarkTatka: yes, thats why I addressed you [15:01] oh, thanks [15:01] i typed the ./configure command.it configured properly.next tell me how to install [15:01] mat-dg: sudo nautilus /home/isoman2kx/.mozilla/plugins [15:01] I'm trying to have a local repo and I've pinned my updates to it, but apt-get doesn't respect it and everytime it wants to install from remote repos, how can I solve this problem? [15:01] mat-dg: but firefox crashed [15:01] geekphreak: I cannot remove or move it [15:01] noir_lord, :P PM [15:01] can someone help me get my mic working? :D [15:01] back [15:01] ./configure && make & make install will work if its using autotools and you have the correct dev packages installed for required libraries [15:01] circuitman: there is a INSTALL file in that folder read it [15:01] geekphreak: They are both grey'd out [15:01] anyone here has experienced making a local repository? [15:01] hmm... does Ubuntu have makepkg? [15:01] tuliohm. It's setting the framebuffer resolution to a VESA mode. Worked on my old PC with a CRT monitor. [15:01] sunk8: I will try vga=771 [15:02] isoman2kx: no need for sudo, extract it as your normal user [15:02] :) makepkg took tediousness of compling things from source [15:02] HinHin. makepkg? [15:02] mikebot: you can kill it , from system monitor if you want [15:02] kerel. Good luck. [15:02] Hey, I'm shocked! Where's this heretic new yahoo search page that's supposed to automatically come up on 10.04? :D [15:02] mikebot: is it bothering you? [15:02] sunk8, hmm, i will try this [15:02] brb [15:02] (: [15:02] sunk8, it can automatically compile + resolve dependices of source packages [15:02] still dislikes the way that debian systems frequently seperate packages into foo and foo-dev, I can see the logic but it can bite you if you have to install alot from source [15:02] geekphreak: Well I don't use either of those things, so it has no purpose there.. [15:02] xavieran: i think it was only in the beta/alpha stages afaik [15:02] kerel. When I had a similar issue, I had that page printed and got it resolved with the options. [15:03] geekphreak: i typed make but says No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [15:03] sunk8, :P even if the depencies are in source files themselfs [15:03] mat-dg: when you say extract... you mean place the file from the tar.gz file into plugins? [15:03] HinHin. U want to make a backup of installed packages? [15:03] kerel, take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers [15:03] I installed ubuntu on my SATA drive (I only have ubuntu installed on this computer) and I have 2 pata drives (for storage) and when the computer boots the computer stops with a black screen after the bios info.. I checked boot order in the bios and its all correct even when I hit f8 and manually tell it to boot from the sata it wont... so I have to go though a few (normally 4 boot cycles) and it finally loads ubuntu... whats go [15:03] ing on? [15:03] Question on Gwibber. Why do I see tweets on my home screen that I have actually deleted -and- why do I see *only* my own tweets on my home screen although the help says "all messages" when I hover the mouse over the home screen icon? [15:03] I have a dual monitor setup. How can I tell mplayer to create a video window on my primary monitor? It always creates the video window centered on the second monitor :( [15:03] geekphreak: Also, on the far right it says 'No Indicators' [15:03] Hello all [15:04] geekphreak: So I'm not sure how I'm even suppoesd to shut down my computer... [15:04] tuliohm: my resolution is not on the list so I just try 771 [15:04] wagnix: i'd use the tools on the ultimate boot cd to test the drive at a low level [15:04] ActionParsnip_: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SQ7LKPPx . Problem located. What does it mean? [15:04] HinHin. If you're okay with the command line, try 'dpkg-repack' or 'aptoncd' for a gui. They package dependencies too. [15:04] fr0nk: what video card? [15:04] kerel, ok [15:04] kerel. 771 might work. do try it. [15:04] sunk8, no... :P just you can compile source packages easilly with makepkg [15:04] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop for test purpose, after installing DTC I run /usr/share/dtc/admin/install/install - after the process I notice that the installion has changed my own personal user account password [15:04] Dr_Willis: 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2) [15:04] Hi [15:04] geekphreak: i typed make but says No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [15:04] I attempt to open nautilus as root, and it fails. Explain? [15:04] What [15:05] DarkTatka: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/270798 [15:05] one thing that does irritate me is that the default gnome window border seems to be 1 pixel, makes grabbing the handle to resize a fine motor skill ;) [15:05] sunk8: going to try. be right back [15:05] mikebot: there is 1 more thing you can do [15:05] And now I cannot login through GDM or through tty of course... [15:05] kerel. k [15:05] xavieran: are you use gksu to do so? [15:05] Do you know any issues like that? [15:05] Why is ubuntu 10.05 so slow? [15:05] mikebot: right click on empty space on panel >> add to panel and add logout and shutdown applets ok [15:05] undecim: No, I'm using a root terminal. [15:05] fr0nk: you are using the nvidia drivers and have twinview enabled? You could use compiz and have it place the program on a specfic location. here i just drag it to the 2nd monitor and fullscreen it. [15:05] Ruadh_: have you installed and configured video drivers? [15:06] fr0nk: the program may also take command line options as to where to start up [15:06] Ruadh_: try runing without desktop effects [15:06] Existance0: yu might need to use jack. although i am not absolutely certain.. [15:06] geekphreak: There also doesn't seem to be any spot on the panel I can right click [15:06] ActionParsnip_, the ultimate boot cd << that is part of the ubuntu.iso? [15:06] Dr_Willis: I use twinView to extend the desktop to the second monitor [15:06] mikebot: thats wierd man [15:06] ActionParsnip_ are you suggesting that [15:06] xavieran: You should use gksu, either from a user terminal, or from the ALT+F2 dialog. It handles environment variabls in a way that allows root to run graphical applications on the user's screen [15:07] mikebot: when did this start happening, did you do anything ? [15:07] geekphreak: i typed make but says No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [15:07] I should get rid of gnome? [15:07] geekphreak: I just updated to 10.4 last night [15:07] wagnix: no its a free bootable cd with a tonne of useful tools, go get it [15:07] HinHin. which distro? [15:07] hi everybody, i got problems with my wireless connection through my bcm4328 in my macbook, using wl sta driver. nybody experiencing same issue? [15:07] geekphreak: And it has been like this since [15:07] undecim: Right [15:07] ActionParsnip_, ok [15:07] sunk8, Arch Linux [15:07] fr0nk: if i drag gmplayer to monitor #2 and close it.. then reopen it. it rembers what monitor it was on [15:07] Ruadh_: no, compiz is not gnome [15:07] oh, when i say problems i mean it's really freakin slow [15:07] Dr_Willis: I always have to drag it to the primary monitor, which is kind of inconveniant. Do you know where I can set absolute window positions for specific windows (e.g. title) in compiz? [15:07] Can anyone help me get my mic working. In a private chat preferably. [15:07] Ruadh_: press alt+f2 type: metacity --replace [15:07] ir works, but slow, too much slow. ethernet works just fine [15:08] Dr_Willis: I don't use the gmplayer packet since I don't want a GUI [15:08] fr0nk: it rembers here for me. [15:08] ActionParsnip_ Then what do you mean [15:08] mikebot: is there just one user on that system? === goose is now known as Guest46379 [15:08] ? [15:08] xavieran: Also, check your DISPLAY variable with "echo $DISPLAY" [15:08] geekphreak: Yes [15:08] Ruadh_: that will stop compiz and you will use metacity which is lighter [15:08] fr0nk: then you need to look at the mplayer config/options/command line. === Guest46379 is now known as haggisLife [15:08] Ruadh_: if you have not installed video drivers then the desktop will run slow [15:08] mikebot: its prob. a setting messed up somewhere, wana run a test? [15:08] xavieran: It should be something like ":0" if you want to launch graphical things from the terminal. This is the default for gnome-terminal, unless you have done something to change it [15:08] isoman2kx: yes, extract the libflashplayer.so and copy it to .mozilla/plugins [15:09] Ruadh_: so if you run: lspci | grep -i vga this will tell you your video card and you can use the output to find guides === blueyed_ is now known as blueyed [15:09] ActionParsnip_, I didnt see it in the synaptic package manager? [15:09] HinHin. Here we let synaptic do all the dirty job for us... ;-) [15:09] mikebot: can you create a test user and log into it, if everything is ok there , we will reset panels here [15:09] wagnix: see what? [15:09] geekphreak: Sure [15:09] ActionParsnip_: If i read the bug comments correctly, nobody knows exactly whats going on. According to bootchart I generated with om26er it takes 300sec for fsck.vfat to fiinish. Is it relevant? === Nomad_ is now known as Wanderer [15:09] geekphreak: OK. But I don't really know how to do those thigns [15:09] I think I ought to return to ubuntu 9.10 and never install another ubuntu upgrade [15:09] ActionParsnip_, the ultimate boot cd [15:09] when I tried to join #ubuntu+1 I got the message "It needs invitation" What should I do to receive support on 10.04? [15:09] Hey, guys! Whats the problem with ubuntu 10.04LTS, whan I trying change mouse pointer, its dont work. Pointer dont changes ;/ [15:09] Dr_Willis: I already took a look at /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf but there's no option for positioning the window. Do you know where in compiz I can configure the positioning of windows? [15:09] wagnix: think about it, think about what I recommended. what do you think it is? [15:09] circuitman: i have no idea which package you installing , type cat INSTALL | more [15:09] researcher1: this is 10.04 support. === pretto_ is now known as Pretto [15:10] mikebot: its easy , is terminal open ? [15:10] geekphreak:i'm installing drivel [15:10] Dr_Willis: Thanks. My mouse has suddenly slowed down [15:10] DarkTatka: do you use vfat? [15:10] ActionParsnip_, I thought it was a tool that could be burned to cd to check the boot manager HOWEVER its not in the repos [15:10] yes [15:10] geekphreak:its a blog editor [15:10] mikebot: sudo adduser test [15:10] fr0nk: 'place windows' tool [15:10] researcher1: Did you check your mouse preferences? [15:10] wagnix: no, its a completely seperate thing, go grab the iso from the official site, md5 test it and burn it [15:11] how to past something [15:11] Does ubuntu 10.04 still have beagle? I can't seem to find it installed in synaptic. [15:11] circuitman: phpbb3? [15:11] ActionParsnip_, ah ok ty [15:11] !paste | mamous [15:11] mamous: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.9-3ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 1375 kB, installed size 4484 kB [15:11] geekphreak:what is it? [15:11] researcher1: system>>prefrence>>mouse i think [15:11] Hi all ive a prob! the new Version of kaffeine in lucid seems to do not read out from ~/.kde/apps/kaffeine/channels.dvb ... i made my own with w_scan, but there are no channels available in Kaffeine what do i do? [15:11] xavieran: enable universe ppa [15:11] geekphreak: ok [15:11] xavieran: repo, sorry [15:11] mikebot: now when you logout, it will sow you that user, loginto it, and see if panels ok tehre? [15:11] researcher1: Systemp -> Preferences -> Mouse. Look at "acceleration" and "sensitivity" under General tab [15:11] ActionParsnip_: I have 100GB FAT32 partition on /dev/sda4 with legacy data, ubuntu is on ext4 /dev/sda3 16GB . Previously I thought it was caused by fsck checking /dev/sda4 every single time at boot time [15:12] DarkTatka: yowser bet thats a LOT flakey at best [15:12] geekphreak: How do I log out? [15:12] How can I get synaptic to show all installed programs? [15:12] Ok. I have 10.04 beta2 installed on this system. I'm going to use update manager to update to 10.04..... Can I select a subset of updates from list and install them. Next time, I install some more. Another time, a few more a......like this? [15:12] ActionParsnip_: yowser and flakey? not following you mate [15:12] Dr_Willis: there's a option called "window placement" in ccsm but obviously I'm configuring it wrong since it's not working. I use window title=MPlayer and position 0:0 [15:12] Will I be use my packages of 9.04 if I upgrade to 9.10? [15:12] xavieran: i know in command line: dpkg -l * > ~/packages.txt; gedit ~/packages.txt [15:12] fr0nk: there seems to be a -geometry option [15:12] mikebot: not sure is it enabled, but try ctrl+alt+backspace [15:13] it read me file says to type "make" to compile it [15:13] geekphreak: Nothing. [15:13] ActionParsnip_: Erm, I want to see them in synaptic. nvm, I'm just using a filter... [15:13] Will I be use my packages of 9.04 if I upgrade to 9.10?:) [15:13] fr0nk: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20100315.234917.42ef8555.en.html [15:13] geekpheak:it read me file says to type "make" to compile it [15:13] DarkTatka: yowser is an exclamation of shock, fat32 really isnt robust and random power offs can garbage data [15:13] xavieran: have a look at Settings -> Filters [15:14] Dr_Willis: doesn't this also affect the absolute window size (that would imply scaling to non-native video resolutions) [15:14] I have checked mouse settings.It still moves slow.This used to happen in Windows when infected [15:14] geekphreak:this is what i got when i typed make "No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." [15:14] hi everybody, i got problems with my wireless connection it's 2 slow through my bcm4328 in my macbook, using wl sta driver. nybody experiencing same issue? ethernet works just fine. [15:14] fr0nk: i alwyas use fullscreen. so rarely have to mess with placement [15:14] xavieran: Interestingly, there is no filter for installed packages by default, but it's easy to make one. [15:15] Dr_Willis:Will I be use my packages of 9.04 if I upgrade to 9.10? [15:15] undecim: As I have found :) [15:15] mikebot: hmm [15:15] fr0nk: mplayer -geometry 1024x768+0+0 -screenw 1024 -screenh 768 [15:15] researcher1: do you use an nvidia video card? [15:15] mikebot: how about ctrl+alt+del [15:15] Hello everyone. Wireless question. I upgraded to 10.04 last night and my wireless has been lost. lsusb shows both my options for wireless cards as attached. (D-LINK DWL-G120 and a D-LINK WUA2340) How can I get EITHER of them working again? 9.10 the G120 worked out of the box [15:15] vishalparkar: care to repharse that question. [15:15] How do I check which card I have? [15:15] eekYeha that worked [15:16] geekphreak: I'll brb [15:16] mikebot: ok [15:16] danielsevigny: the make and model is fairly moot. Run: sudo lshw -C network to see the chips they use, websearch for their product lines for guides [15:16] sunk8, doesn't work [15:16] :x [15:16] I am trying to create a udev rule to make a certain script run each time a specific usb storage device (my phone) is connected. Someone care to help? (need a bit of hand-holding here) [15:16] geekphreak:downloaded that package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/drivel/files/ [15:16] tuliohm. What doesn't work? [15:16] vishalparkar: im not sure what you are asking, or what you are trying to do. [15:16] I am familiar with linux, but not so much with udev. [15:17] ActionParsnip_: Lets say its from days of yore. Anyway, I can switch it to ntfs if I really really need to, just not happy about it. Do you think it will help? [15:17] Anyone? [15:17] vishalparkar: 9.10 has all new packages it will download [15:17] I mean, the splash screen was ok with vga=771 , but the GDM [15:17] black screen... [15:17] bbl [15:17] DarkTatka: could try it to test [15:17] the only device the lshw came up with was the eth0 card. I'm looking for the usb wireless to connect. [15:17] hi everybody, i got problems with my wireless connection it's 2 slow through my bcm4328 in my macbook, using wl sta driver. nybody experiencing same issue? ethernet works just fine.

Old school. [15:19] obiwan_: wifi works good here mate [15:19] HEllo, is there anyway to get the buttons on the windowsboarder on the right side instead of the left side? It has allways been on the right side before but now with 10.04 the buttons on the dark ambient theme ar on the left side [15:19] it worked out of the box for me, just the wl issue [15:19] !control > lungan [15:19] geekphreak:i configured it by typing ./configure.it configured properly.but when i type make and make install.its not installing [15:19] !controls > lungan [15:19] lungan, please see my private message [15:19] whoops [15:19] DarkTatka: lucid is still very young so will have issues. canonical have a rigid release schedule as opposed to debians more flexible approach [15:19] if I change my nvidia driver in 9.10 from 173 to 185 do I need to recompile the kernel? [15:19] geekphreak: you got macbook too with wl & bmc43## ? [15:19] Does it hurt to remove pulse? [15:19] bazhang: you beat me man lol [15:19] <[clay]> any idea why a ubuntu desktop (karmic) install would detect some hardware but the mini version wouldn't? any way I can fix that? [15:19] DarkTatka: so you will get a few issues for a while after release [15:19] this is from synaptic package manager [15:19] geekphreak, I typoed :) [15:19] hello all, lucid painfully slow... what is the reason ? [15:20] obiwan_: i wish, send me your i will test it ;) [15:20] bazhang, geekphreak thank you [15:20] lucid is painfully slow... what is the reason ? * [15:20] ActionParsnip_: Well, I will switch to NTFS and we will see..

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [15:23] circuitman: stop it [15:23] Hi [15:23] circuitman, help you do what [15:23] tuliohm: live cd issnet using grub anyway i belive.

Dropping to shell". Any ideas? [15:23] bazhang:i cant install a package [15:23] can i add thirdparty software(pentesting software)? [15:23] circuitman, install drivel from the repos [15:24] where can I find a sources.list for feisty that will actually work? [15:24] Does anyone know why it says 'No Indicators' in the top right on my panel? (UNR 10.4) [15:24] Dr_Willis, yes, it is.. just tap any key when starting that you will see [15:24] bazhang:the version in the repos is old [15:24] :p [15:24] silasdavis, you won't [15:24] hola [15:24] danielsevigny, ok, thanks. Since it s someone i trust , i ll just tell him to stay in his home directory [15:24] !feisty | silasdavis [15:24] I just upgraded to 10.04 all is fine except I am missing the boot up animation. Anyone know how to resolve that? [15:24] silasdavis: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [15:24] exploit100, yes but you have to know about programming and the BASH shell [15:24] Is plymouth safe to remove? [15:24] well, guys, any chance of helping me with a NVidia X-Server problem? [15:24] silasdavis: feisty is long dead [15:24] bazhang:i wannt compile the newer version manually [15:24] hey all, how come my webcam is giving off wrong colours [15:24] mikebot: Probably because you have no applications using the notification area. [15:24] ubottu: can I use a different sources.list [15:24] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:24] Linux doesnt really like java, do they? [15:24] mikebot: i can manually create a shortcut , or ctrl+alt+del [15:25] bazhang:using the source code [15:25] mikebot: Open something like rhythmbox or empathy and it should change [15:25] I'm a gentoo user I just want to install screen on this old piece of .. [15:25] <[clay]> what's wrong with linux java? [15:25] rezzy: you may need some ptions on th module when it gets loaded [15:25] mat-dg: yeah, I don't know what I was doing last time. I went in, used ctrl h and created plugins under /.mozilla and moved the file over. [15:25] danielsevigny, but i ll know for a next time , not to use ssh for that [15:25] circuitman, then do so. install build-essential and /msg ubottu compile [15:25] worked like a charm [15:25] !java | Kine [15:25] Kine: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository (!partner repository in Lucid) [15:25] oh right ok [15:25] thanks :) [15:25] undecim: geekphreak: Is there a way to get it where my logout/shutdown/etc button is there again? [15:25] Kine, what do you mean, Doesn't like java? [15:25] bazhang: question for you , is there a bug or something after updates having applet issue? [15:25] Dr_Willis, I will search something about grub2 [15:25] mikebot: umm yes [15:25] geekphreak, which applet are you referring to [15:25] silasdavis: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ For the future ... ;) [15:25] solved the one pixel border issue, its determined by the theme, you can either edit the xml or switch to another theme (switched to a windows 7 theme, I like the bigger buttons) [15:25] geekphreak, thanks [15:25] Emerald ftw [15:26] bazhang:compiled it by typing ./configure [15:26] someone is getting a error page when try to login in launchpad? [15:26] Anyone with problems with Xinerama? [15:26] Well what i mean.. i have spent 5 hours today just to get my java to work in ubuntu 10.04 64 bit og google chrome and firefox... and now when it finaly works its slow as *** [15:26] mikebot: I believe that the applet for that is called "indicator applet session". Add that back to your panel. [15:26] danielsevigny, thanks, have a nice day [15:26] undecim: How do I add things to the panel? [15:26] geekphreak: Thank you [15:26] Kine: so it is not java is the java plugin for browsers ... [15:26] circuitman, you need to do some reading on how to compile if you want the latest, easier to just install from repos [15:26] bazhang:but cant instal it by typing make and make install commands [15:26] bazhang: any applet,mikebot cant add any applet, and his evolution /empathy notifier is greyed out too, cant work on it, even logout/shutdown gone, tried other account, gone there too, started happening after update [15:26] Kine, file a bug report [15:26] mikebot, right click in the panel and choose add to panel [15:26] mikebot: let me confirm === insert is now known as _insert [15:27] bazhang:but the one in the repos has a bug [15:27] FatGiant: he cant [15:27] mikebot: Right-click on a blank space on the panel and click "Add to Panel"... It might be different in UNR though, so no promises. === _insert is now known as insert_ [15:27] why? [15:27] bazhang: its a serious bug [15:27] erUSUL, jeje thanks.. . [15:27] FatGiant: There is nowhere I cna click that says 'add to pane'... in fact, I can't even remove things from the panel any more [15:27] FatGiant: he said after update , functionality is gone for some reason [15:27] hi i am trying to restore a file using debugfs...it shows file avaiable in there but i can't get it out....here is the display from debugfs 0 0 (1) 0 0 0 Windows XP.vdi how can i recover it [15:27] circuitman, then file a bug report [15:27] My mouse settings are correct.But it suddenly started moving slowly. My card report is here "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10) [15:27] " [15:27] FatGiant: undecim I cannot move things in the panel either [15:27] geekphreak, nope, can add multiple applets here [15:28] !undelete | Thraul [15:28] Thraul: 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 [15:28] Guest48285, how do I do that? [15:28] mikebot, can you use firefox? search for panel recover ubuntu [15:28] bazhang: kool [15:28] bazhang:why file a bug when i have the latest version [15:28] Kine, google it? [15:28] Hi, is there anyone here who has converted flv files from the /tmp cache to any other video format... ? [15:28] bazhang:also i dont know how to file a bug [15:28] it's a set of commands that restore the panel to original default [15:28] ok i selected the package in synaptic package manager, and marked it for removel, but how do i remove it ? [15:28] circuitman, you are having trouble compiling correct? [15:28] mikebot: I'm not familiar with UNR, but I was sure that it used gnome-panel. Perhaps your panel has locked up... can you open a terminal and run "killall gnome-panel" ? [15:28] Guest48285, no thanks then i rather skip it [15:28] felon: click Apply [15:28] erUSUL, its a ext2 file system.....and that DataRecovery page make no sense [15:29] Kine, then don't expect that it will be fixed [15:29] Guest48285, whatever [15:29] FatGiant: thing is mate, tried makin new test user, same there too, do you think reset will help [15:29] (2010-05-01 16:25:39) kutagh: Okay. Having issues with trying to install Xubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. Inserted the DVD (burned ISO to DVD) and restarted laptop. It then goes on to the language selection menu and the options menu, where I can first pick the language and then choose "Try out Xubuntu without installing", "Install Xubuntu", "Check the disc for errors" and such. At that point, the first two (Try out Xubuntu/Install Xubuntu) just.. hang.. [15:29] Any suggestions? (I tried getting help already at the #Xubuntu channel but no response yet). [15:29] undecim: Yes, that killed my panel [15:29] bazhang:ya [15:29] circuitman, you need to do some reading then [15:29] mikebot: It should come back on it's own. Did it? [15:29] bazhang: i've read the installfile properly [15:29] undecim: Wait, when I alt-tabbed back to my other terminal window the panel reappeared [15:29] geekphreak, it did for me after xinerama messed it up [15:29] undecim: Yes [15:29] jljkl [15:29] Hi, I just made a switch to Ubuntu from Windows. Before I made the switch I backed up a bunch of information on a DVD+R. Now I can't access the information. I get a 'Unable to mount UDF Volume' [15:29] dah! [15:29] ok mikebot try this [15:30] Kine, that attitude will get you kicked [15:30] !resetpanels | mikebot [15:30] mikebot: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:30] undecim: But the buttons for remove from panel, move, and lock to panel are all still grey'd out [15:30] Hi [15:30] hey guys...noticed that external drive with multiple partitions...when unmounting the drive...highlighting all partitions listed on Desktop ...right click ... no "safely remove" available but only availabe for each partition which then gives errors o0 [15:30] hey is ubuntu 10.04 any good before i start downloading? [15:30] bazhang:the install file says type "make" and "make install" to compile and install which i did [15:30] what is the fastest way to download ubuntu? [15:30] jb12: yes sir [15:30] Baatti, how did you burn the data? With the built-in DVD burning feature from windows? [15:30] gidna, torrents [15:30] Guest48285, well so stop provoking me im tired and bored after 5 hours of configuring something simple as javaplugin [15:30] jb12, it is good yes... it has a few issues but it works well [15:30] bazhang, I actually think FTP is fast enough :P [15:31] geekphreak, nice, I wished I had come here when I was in trouble... LOL [15:31] 1,5 MB/s ;) [15:31] Hi. I have a Vaio with an ATI Radeon HD 3400 series. On Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, the FN+brightness up/down keys worked just fine. Now on 10.04 64-bit, they're not working anymore. Anyone has an idea why? === insert_ is now known as insert [15:31] so i wont lose my desktop? or it will reboot by itself [15:31] FatGiant: :) [15:31] kutagh Yes [15:31] Hello. I just installed 10.04. Sunbird went away. What's the preferred replacement? I want some stand-alone calendar (I don't want an e-mail client -- I use a webmail) [15:31] Hello, so I installed BlackMagic driver. The card is in. It does not seem like the driver gets loaded automatically though. If I do dmesg | grep BlackMagic, nothing shows up. I have to sudo modprobe the driver all the time. So the card is installed, and the driver loaded, but when I try to start it's utility it says hardware not found. Any suggestions? Maybe I have to start utility by being root? I can't find [15:31] undecim: OK, did that. It came back and is in the same state :( [15:31] i know there is a long line, but i need help, my live cd wont install. [15:31] ok, guys, Xinerama anyone? [15:31] bazhang:shall i send u the screen shot of the files available in the drivel folder [15:31] everytime i click install or try ubuntu my screen goes blank and says no signal. [15:31] my net speed has dropped im on 10,04. Any help? [15:31] Baatti, that might be the issue, as Vista/7 can burn it in such a way that only Windows vista/7 OSes can read it... :( [15:31] undecim: (And still says 'No Indicators' where my logout button should be.) [15:32] i can not hit f6 nothing happens for some reason [15:32] kutagh so there is no way to recover that information inside of Ubuntu? [15:32] Can you install Vista/7 again on a seperate partition to see if they can read it, and then use that to copy over? [15:32] not sure but doubt it. [15:32] mikebot: I don't know what would cause that... I'm consulting Google right now. [15:32] How to convert .tar.bz2 to .tar? [15:32] I'm not an expert in linux ;) [15:32] pkkm [15:32] (2010-05-01 16:25:39) kutagh: Okay. Having issues with trying to install Xubuntu 10.04 on my laptop.

[15:33] ZykoticK9, thanks [15:33] gidna: are you talking about downloading ubuntu 10.04? [15:33] FatGiant, which video card are you using? [15:33] FatGiant: i think xinerama is being deprecated in favor of xrandr ... [15:33] hi [15:33] Nvidia GTXX 285 [15:33] gidna, likely a ports issue, you would need to open up the port for the torrent client (by default 6331 I thought?) [15:33] mikebot: How long has this been a problem? === insert is now known as purehate [15:33] ok [15:33] hey peeps is this the officail ubuntu help channel? === purehate is now known as pure_hate [15:33] FatGiant, ok then you probably want to use twinview with that [15:33] so I need to install xrandr?

[15:34] Twinview is not what I need, I need extended [15:34] FatGiant, otherwise you may have to have separate xscreens but that prevents windows from being dragged to either monitor [15:34] ok how may of you guys using the new ubuntu 10.4??

[15:44] Kine, or "ps" [15:44] mikebot: My guess is this is a result of the upgrade, but I could be wrong. [15:44] im on ati and with compiz the system gets slow [15:44] how the heck to I disable the framebuffer console in ubuntu 10.04 and go back to the "normal" console? [15:44] its hd 1080i [15:44] Guest48285, never heard about them [15:44] ah [15:44] hmm, yeah, ati and linux aren't best friends [15:44] nautilus-gksu aint working either [15:44] Kine, open a command line and type 'man top' [15:45] yeshbut on jaunty works just fine [15:45] so should be ok then, what resolution are you getting atm? [15:45] Kine, or 'man ps' [15:45] undecim: Yeah. I guess I'll wait a week or so to see if other people have the same problem./ [15:45] Hello, 10.04 came up today? [15:45] @tawd Short answer is yes. But symbolic links should still be there. For example a dead link to xchat, but when you reinstall all your setting should be available.

Do you have an account on the forums? [15:45] kine, that's what was supposed to happen [15:45] hey, can someone please help me? there is something changed in 10.04.... I have to find the /etc/Wireless [15:45] Bah, for some reason I can't get this card working. If I install a new card into the system, how can I find out if that card is at least recognized by Ubuntu?

[15:46] Kine, top and ps are your friends for determining performance issues [15:46] @dan_ tell me what your PC resolution is and the model of your TV [15:47] mikebot: If you want. I think this is an issue that would be best solved with a thread in the forums though. IRC is good for fast help, but for issues that are more difficult to pin down, the forums are a better option for support. [15:47] Guest48285, ok thank you ill look into it [15:47] undecim: OK, I'll make an account. [15:47] anyone? I want to find the new location of /etc/wireless [15:47] samsung tv , when i plug into pc monitor i can choose high reso, when i plug back into tv its limits me to 800x600 [15:47] I know this is offtopic, but, could someone recommend a decent GIMP book for sale?

I have 3 in the indicator applet [15:48] kroson: thanks, I was very away from linux-ubuntu world for a long time and now casually I enter yesterday to ubuntu.com and I was really surprised with this new release. It was about time that interface shoukd change, and I find it very cool by the way. Now it really looks like a modern OS (no offense). [15:48] ok dan_ lemme have a look for you [15:48] lvidal: no offense of course, i agree xD [15:48] its weird [15:48] you should give a test on it [15:48] thanks [15:48] lucas-arg: Can you tell from the processes listed in the System Monitor what the name of the Universal Access Preferences process is? [15:48] kroson: In fact I'm installing it right now using parallels. [15:49] its very good [15:49] lvidal: agreed. I recently got into it myself but sorta forced as I found it best to use for assembly language programming. now I like it though [15:49] fine [15:49] :) === ogen is now known as tripelb [15:49] hi i need start with vga=771 how can i do it? [15:49] guest48285, Graphics Editing for Linux doesn't exist I think... :p But for GIMP: http://www.gimp.org/books/ [15:49] dan_ can you pm me its easier [15:49] undecim: nope i dont see anything that is repeated 3 times or anything like that to know [15:49] ondra, are you using Lucid? [15:49] so i can see what you are typing [15:49] in case you have some problem, ask here [15:49] ZykoticK9: yes [15:49] When someone has a minute; When starting this box, it hangs for a couple minutes on 'loading hardware drivers', then fails that step. How do I go about seeing which driver is causing it to fail? [15:49] hey, my wifi says its connected but i cant browse or ping anything, im tethering with my phone right now w no problems but i cant get my wifi to work right [15:49] i am using ubuntu 9.10, how do i edit my fstab so that i will automatically mount a directory? [15:49] <_pg_> everytime I install e17 on ubuntu, I lose all network connectivity. I lose nm-applet, and the hardware appears to be seen I just cannot grab a dhcp lease via wireless. anyone know whats up? [15:49] ondra, Lucid doesn't support vga= lines, it's been updated to something new [15:49] Hmmm using nomodeset doesn't help anything :( [15:50] <[clay]> any idea why a ubuntu desktop (karmic) install would detect some hardware but the mini version wouldn't? any way I can fix that? it's for a usb network adapter [15:50] <_pg_> [clay]: what is the mini version? [15:50] <[clay]> 9.10 karmic [15:50] lucas-arg: "Universal Access Preferences"... I can't find that anywhere on my system or in the software center. How can I start it to check it myself? [15:50] Kutagh, isn't gimp available in linux? [15:51] Kutagh, I believe I'm running that on my machine [15:51] <_pg_> _pg_: no, I mean what is "mini ubuntu" [15:51] ondra, you can see my note (and warning for nvidia proprietary users) at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/plymouth-resolution [15:51] I have 9.10 and I just did the last update (plus restart) and my max display resolution is LOWER than it was before, messing up my desktop, meaning I cannot see the bottom (Ie buttons) of a dialog box. It is max 800x600 now. (Why is Ubuntu such a "project"?) [15:51] <[clay]> (software i'm using doesn't support lucid yet) [15:51] so I have this .sh file, what do? how to install? [15:51] guest48285, it is but I was talking about a general manual for graphics editing on linux :p [15:51] isoman2kx: Since I tried linux for the firt time I really like it, but because I need Adobe CS I had to go Mac, which I love by the way. What I can't stand is Windows never again. [15:51] <[clay]> oh, netbook install maybe? [15:51] since that would be too broad [15:51] ZykoticK9: but i need install sis driver 672 and whem i type sudo service gdm stop screen jumping up and down [15:51] when i try to mount my external hdd (called "elements"), i get the error message "unable to mount elements - not authorized". [15:51] i'm using 10.4 [15:51] <_pg_> tripelb: maybe you need to enable proprietary drivers [15:51] con-man: ./yourfile.sh [15:51] undecim: i did sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties to change gdm defaults [15:51] i can mount it as root [15:51] _pg_, I didnt have to do that previously. [15:51] ondra, i have NO idea about SIS graphics, good luck man [15:52] _pg_, It's an old dell monitor. [15:52] <_pg_> [clay]: have you ran the hardware drivers thing? to look for prop. drivers? [15:52] Kutagh, not really. I find plenty of generalist/mininalist manuals for specific tasks in linux, such as setting up lamp [15:52] lucas-arg aahh... you have a process started by gdm then... [15:52] undecim: ubuntuforums.orgA [15:52] ? [15:52] <_pg_> tripelb: I dont think the monitor has much to do with that [15:52] when i go to properties, it seems te be owned by "root" [15:52] HELP Please, I did sudo aptitude remove --purge wine but wine is still there [15:52] Gieke: you need to add yourself to the fuse group [15:52] undecim: how can i kill it? [15:52] how can i see if my wifi is configured correctly? [15:52] I have 9.10 and I just did the last update (plus restart) and my max display resolution is LOWER than it was before, messing up my desktop, meaning I cannot see the bottom (Ie buttons) of a dialog box. It is max 800x600 now. - I never had installed any drivers before. It is an old dell monitor. [15:52] ZykoticK9: i need only one thing framebuffer with vesa driver [15:52] <[clay]> _pg_: the detect hardware step in the console based installer? yeah, it flashes red and says it can't find anything [15:52] pallgone, how do i add myself to the fuse group [15:52] Guest48285: Graphics Editing is a lot broader then that ;) [15:52] lvidal: really? I still enjoy windows but windows 7 now. [15:52] <_pg_> teage: have you rebooted? [15:53] no [15:53] minimec, command not found :( [15:53] ok [15:53] i will try that [15:53] lvidal: I find it's easier to break in with linux as my secondary os than my primary. I just get too frustrated when I don't get something in linux [15:53] lucas-arg: Open a terminal and paste this: ps aux | grep gdm [15:53] Gieke: prefs, users and groups [15:53] <_pg_> [clay]: i meant the pci card looking thing in the gui called "hardware drivers" [15:53] When someone has a minute; When starting this box, it hangs for a couple minutes on 'loading hardware drivers', then fails that step. How do I go about seeing which driver is causing it to fail? [15:53] ondra, all i can say for sure is vga= is no longer used. [15:53] _pg_, you dont think what monitor I have has anything to do whith ubuntu setting linimtations on my allowed resolution? Thanks anyway. [15:53] <_pg_> isoman2kx: agreed [15:53] and then: properties==> open blahblahblah (FUSE) [15:53] !sh [15:53] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:53] i already tried that [15:53] doesn't works [15:53] <[clay]> _pg_: no using that; the desktop install finds it with no intervention from me. netbook/mini install is where i'm having the problem [15:54] can no one answer my question? [15:54] lucas-arg: you should be able to see the process name from that output, then run "sudo killall processname" from the terminal [15:54] _pg_, I suppose that noone then can use any resolution greater than 800x600 in ubuntu. NOT. [15:54] join #xubuntu [15:54] how do i edit fstab so that i can automatically mount directories [15:54] <_pg_> tripelb: cause thats what I said.

I don't need Windows at all. I wish Adobe release at least 4 Apps for Linux to begin with. [15:55] Gieke: so it should work [15:55] thanks [15:55] Ubuntuone not starting....Problem since upgrade to 10.04. [15:55] <_pg_> tripelb: if you had a higher res previuosly on that samew monitor and now youre stuck at 800x600 than obviously the monitor is capable of better, thus not the issue. do you have prop. drivers enabled? [15:55] *inserts drive* *gets error* [15:55] how do i configure which services upstart launches at boot time? [15:55] lvidal: thats fine, and now you also have a 3rd option: ubuntu :) [15:55] Hello. I installed the 64 bits Ubuntu 10.04 and installed the flashplugin-installer package for installing the Flash plugin. I can 't control flash buttons in Youtube now. Is there any solution to this? [15:55] Gieke: maybe you need to log out/log in [15:56] i'll try [15:56] lucas-arg: Sorry, I don't understand [15:56] salvad1: there are 2, uninstall the 32-bit flash and install the 64-bit one [15:56] minimec, /etc/init.d/vpnagentd_init: 68: /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpnagentd: not found [15:56] undecim: gnome-system-monitor thats it thanks man [15:56] <_pg_> everytime I install e17 on ubuntu, I lose all network connectivity.

[15:56] or just change a line in some file i dont remeber now xD [15:56] _pg_, Ubuntu had the correct driver BEFORE the update. And so? [15:56] salvad1, with 32bit flash this is how i fix the clicking not working - WON'T WORK WITH 64BIT VERSION - http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working [15:56] When someone has a minute; When starting this box, it hangs for a couple minutes on 'loading hardware drivers', then fails that step. How do I go about seeing which driver is causing it to fail? [15:57] pallgone, same problem remains [15:57] Gieke: not authorized? [15:57] is it normal that it marks my external hard drive as "owner: root" [15:57] Listen, I used to do help desk. I know the reinstall-windows type of help. The send em away style. [15:57] <_pg_> tripelb: mdid you try running "hardware drivers" again after your update? [15:57] hi [15:57] yes, not authorized [15:57] ZykoticK9: yes, thats it [15:57] con-man: That's the error you get when you launch that *.sh file?

[15:57] my keyboard and mouse suddenly freeze in ubuntu 10.04. how to fix it? [15:58] I have always found that ubuntu just works when windows needs special drivers. [15:58] slw, guest48285, Sheesh. Boot options (removing quiet and splash, using nomodeset, acpi=off) didn't help. I still got the same issue... Still not going on. [15:58] undecim: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9210365#post9210365 [15:58] kamran: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. IF there is anything listed there, that's all you need to install. If nothing is listed, you are already using the best available driver. [15:58] I got till the text stuff went off, then stuck at blanco screen [15:58] when I play video in full screen mode, it just like slide show of pics, How can I fix? [15:58] Gieke: hmm... that's how we solved it for a friend [15:58] is there any vmware build ready for 10.4 [15:58] hi guys. my disk partitioning seems to have been corrupted some way. fdisk sees it, gparted doesn't. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/167159/mirror/oh_boy.png . Any ideas how to fix this? partition recovery maybe? [15:58] If I need drivers then I did not need it before the last update. [15:58] Hey in evolution, for some reason, it only gets messages that are from like 2009. It has done this with two email addresses. Is this a common problem? [15:58] Hi. Just installed 9.4, but it somehow didn't create a user account. I booted rescue and did adduser, but that didn't place it in sudoers, so I can't do much :( [15:58] i just put in my ipod [15:58] same problem there [15:58] <_pg_> tripelb: there are good included generic drivers but often you can get higher res. etc when prop. ones are used [15:58] it worked this morning [15:59] undecim: thanks that would have been the right answer for me too. [15:59] <_pg_> everytime I install e17 on ubuntu, I lose all network connectivity. I lose nm-applet, and the hardware appears to be seen I just cannot grab a dhcp lease via wireless. anyone know whats up? [15:59] sunk8: thanks for the help. I finally managed to have ubuntu 10.4 installed on my pc [15:59] minimec, yup [15:59] kamran: have you installed any proprietary driver, or you are using ubuntu as it is ootb?

[15:59] mikebot: Question: Does your Mail/Chat icon work? [16:00] kerel. vga=771? [16:00] _pg_, undecim just gave the correct answer for me. Thanks for playing. [16:00] towb: boot in recovery mode an go to the root console, then add your username to the sudoers list [16:00] Thanks ZykoticK9, It seems to work OK now!. [16:00] I am using Benq, Joybook, s52 notebook. [16:00] undecim: Yeah. When I click on each they open up the programs theya re suppsed to (though I din't use those so it's the, like, Welcome screen). [16:00] Kutagh: My only thoughts at this point are to 1) try the forums, 2) try the alt. cd, and 3) research if anybody else has gone through the same problems with that laptop. What kind of laptop is it? [16:00] hi. are there backport-modules for 2.6.33 yet? where can i get them? [16:00] does anyone know how to edit the keyboard shortcuts on xubuntu 10.4 [16:01] sunk8: I had add "vga771 nomodeset xforcevesa" [16:01] slw, it's an ancient laptop.

So, don't know many terms you people may often use. [16:01] con-man: As I don't know what you wnat, I cannot know any solution. You asked, how to run a file via console... and you had some kind of success... ;) [16:01] kerel. Nice. i told u it would. ;-) [16:01] minimec: so adduser+videuso is the right way? I can't somehow launch the relevant part of the installer? [16:01] kamran: out of the box [16:01] i had the first edition of the netbook remix, jaunty. Then, a few days ago, I used the GUI update-manager to upgrade before the current 10.04 LTS was released. But I don't see "netbook" occuring anywhere in my sources.list. Did I blow away my netbook optimizations? [16:01] as it came after the installation [16:01] slw, just started downloading the alternate cd [16:01] <_pg_> is there a room for enlightenment? [16:01] minimec, lol k [16:01] need help with audio over hdmi. I get video working over hdmi, and i get audio per analog, but on separate channels.

[16:02] check hardware drivers in System -->Administration and see if you have something there [16:02] how can i check from command that which video driver i am using? [16:02] kroson: I installed Ubuntu completely on my pc, and the last time I installed, it was working great, but this time, I am facing the problem of bad quality video in full screen mode. [16:02] but probably not, so you are with the only option available, the opensource driver [16:02] this is a netbook, so i want the fast boot optimizations. How can I be sure I have them? [16:02] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS is out of date: "The two LTS releases so far are DapperDrake and HardyHeron. The next LTS release will be LucidLynx, released in April 2010. " [16:02] sunk8: yes thanks a lot. although nomodeset + xforcevesa also necessary was [16:03] need help with audio over hdmi. I get video working over hdmi, and i get audio per analog, but on separate channels. (lucid 10.04, nvidia gts250, sb audigy2)) [16:03] <_pg_> everytime I install e17 on ubuntu, I lose all network connectivity. I lose nm-applet, and the hardware appears to be seen I just cannot grab a dhcp lease via wireless. anyone know whats up? [16:03] really slick feeling the 'new' ubuntu [16:03] mikebot: Maybe try running this in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfiglibatk1.0-0 libbonobo2-0 libc6 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libindicator0 libpanel-applet2-0 libx11-6 gnome-panel indicator-appleture libatk1.0-0 libbonobo2-0 libc6 libglib2.0-0 libgtk2.0-0 libindicator0 libpanel-applet2-0 libx11-6 gnome-panel indicator-applet-session [16:03] kamran: sorry cant help you there. what was the release where the videos worked fine? [16:03] kerel. ;-) u can add me to ur friend's list so u know when I'm online. [16:03] and you are using lucid, right? [16:03] hello... i have problem with install libjack-dev [16:03] _pg_, I see, you gave that answer to kamran thru a bot. OK. but the only driver I needed was the modem driver. No more hardware drivers. But it worked yesterday when I shutdown. [16:03] kroson: this might be old integrated ati card, but the last time I installed ubuntu it was working great, but as I again re-install it, now its getting the problem. [16:03] i got error: libjack-dev: Depends: libjack0 (= 0.118+svn3796-1ubuntu2) but 0.118.0-karmic~ppa1 is to be installed [16:03] problem: i have ubuntu 10.04 on dell inspiron 1545, the screen flickers from time to time , the bottom half only, how to fix it ? [16:04] mikebot: that will reconfigure indicator-applet-session (the applet that's broken) and its dependencies. [16:04] i upgraded do 10.04 yestarday (i was other ppa sources for karmic) === anom01y_ is now known as anom01y [16:04] I'm looking for a way to change the color of links in Liferea. It's a GTK2 app so I probably want to change my GTK2 settings. What's the app for that? [16:04] korson: alright, thank you for cooperate. [16:04] kamran: that is even more strange, you had lucid before and now reinstalled it, and you are facing this problem? [16:04] how change default boot in grub ?? [16:04] how can i install this -dev package? [16:04] hello, somebody knows which is the empathy channel? [16:05] <_pg_> or the e17 channel? [16:05] majnoon, u want to edit options or change the default OS? [16:05] jordi1983: try #empathy [16:05] thanks [16:05] i have a program on my pc using ubuntu, when i use tty1,i can't see some word below [16:05] default os [16:05] undecim: sudo: dpkg-reconfiglibatk1.0-0: command not found [16:05] towb: The correct solutio is. Boot in recovery mode, go to the root console, then nano /etc/group, add your user to the admin group, then reboot [16:05] yeah, before I installed it, and all was working well, but then I installed Windows OS, after that my Ubuntu didn't work, so I again installed it by formating the previous drives. Now this is the problem I am facing. [16:05] Hello all, how can I "fall back to GLX 1.2" ? [16:05] hello, does anyone know how to change your keyboard shortcuts on xubuntu 10.04. before, it was something like setting -> keyboard, but how to edit the new settings editor ? [16:05] pallgone [16:05] majnoon. Easy way: install startup-manager [16:05] undecim: Oh, I need a space? [16:05] hello all, is that realy take over 8 hours for upgrade to ubuntu 10.04? [16:05] according to google, it would all be solved by rebooting [16:05] morsik, it looks as though you have some extra repositories enabled that have conflicting versions of those packages. You could disable those repositories, or try installing their version of libjack-dev; go into Synaptic, select the package, go to the menu called Package, and click Force Version [16:06] so i tried rebooting [16:06] seemed te be unable to do that [16:06] mikebot: oh, sorry, I managed to butcher that command... [16:06] so i logged in as root, rebooted, and all works fine now! [16:06] sunk8: thanks. I will [16:06] I wonder why nautilus is faster in lucid, scanning directories was taking an eternity in karmic [16:06] lol [16:06] undecim: Do I just need a space? [16:06] hello, i need help with audio over hdmi to tv, please: I get video working over hdmi, and i get audio per analog, but on separate channels. (lucid 10.04, nvidia gts250, sb audigy2) [16:06] kamran: weird stuff, sorry i cant help you more. Try reinstalling again, deleting all your partitions, and do the system upgrade. Of course, with the final version of lucid [16:06] because lucid is a newer version djzn? [16:06] was HAL that bad? [16:06] I have a problem with flash on my newly installed Ubuntu 10.04. I tried doing sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree but it is already installed and I tried the Deb package from the flash website but it says it has a conflict with flashplugin-installer can someone help me, Thanks. [16:06] [16:06] undecim: after "...reconfig" [16:06] Gieke: was HAL *THAT* bad ? [16:06] lol [16:06] aaron11, what's the problem? You have flash plugin already. [16:06] kamran: and btw, ubuntu is known for having problems with videos sometimes and others not, just keep trying :S [16:06] mikebot: should be sudo dpkg-reconfigure libatk.... [16:06] kroson: thanks for cooperate, Take care. [16:07] djzn: No, but it looks like the developpers where some kind of nerds... [16:07] good afternoon, anyone knows why the Vesa driver makes my screen with aliasing on ubuntu 10.04? [16:07] aaron11, let me guess: you can't see things like youtube in firefox? [16:07] hello, does anyone know how to change your keyboard shortcuts on xubuntu 10.04. before, it was something like setting -> keyboard, but how to edit the new settings editor ? [16:07] mikebot: I left out the "ure " [16:07] kamran. what's da issue? [16:07] Gieke: hmm... works with the normal user now? [16:07] hi, installed 10.4 [16:07] yes pallgone [16:07] reboot solved it [16:07] mudroom: welcome xD [16:07] tuliohm, Vesa drivers are always low-res, it's a limitation of the specification. Switch to drivers specific to your video card and/or motherboard. [16:07] LogicalDash: huh? i don't have synaptic, i'm using kde, and maybe apt-get just have some argument to force installation? [16:07] Gieke: Yes that right, You Tube tells me that I need to install Flash [16:07] I am having a lot of trouble downloading 10.04 (Lucid)... I have downloaded it 3 times (once with FF, twice with wget) and have not gotten the correct SHA256 sum [16:07] aaron11, i had exactly the same [16:08] i went to applications==>ubuntu software center [16:08] LogicalDash: and btw, that repos was disabled automatically by distro upgrader [16:08] sunk8: the issue is, before I had Ubuntu, all was working good, then some days ago I reinstall it, and now I am having problem of bad quality video in full screen mode. [16:08] morsik, oh, well, try the -f switch then [16:08] i searched for "adobe flash" [16:08] mathepic. try a different mirror. or use a torrent. [16:08] and installed them one by one === rude is now known as Guest55117 [16:08] untill i found one that worked for me [16:08] Hello again. I noticed that I can open the shutdown menu with the power button of the remote controller of the TV tuner card and I don 't even have LIRC installed. How this occur?; Can I configure thar button to execute a command or action? [16:08] Where can I find a list of mirrors? [16:08] LogicalDash, the driver for my graphics card doesn't work ( Via Chrome9 ), and the problem is not the resolution, is the aliasing [16:08] undecim: http://pastebin.com/cxkdXvCa [16:08] i had trouble installing lucid on an existing /home partition with same usernames being preserved.... [16:08] I have 9.10 and I just did the last update (plus restart) and my max display resolution is LOWER than it was before, messing up my desktop, meaning I cannot see the bottom (Ie buttons) of a dialog box. It is max 800x600 now. --- I did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and now I have a persistent pink box in the upper left that says unknown. (even worse!) [16:08] can someone remind me the app that's similar to ubuntu-tweak? alurius or something like that? [16:08] hi i installed 10.4 and when i resart my computer the screen goes blank. the monitor gets no signal when i select to start ubuntu. what shall i do??? [16:08] with xorg 7.3 on debian lenny I don't have aliasing.. [16:08] :X [16:09] kamran. check out medibuntu.org they have some good codecs that improve quality. The best that u can get in Ubuntu (for free). ;-) [16:09] it was: adobe flash plugin version 10 [16:09] tuliohm, um... right, I don't think vesa does antialiasing either. You might try tooling around with Compiz to see if you can get it to antialias for you. [16:09] hello [16:09] ubuntu-tweak does all tha for you, flash/medibuntu etc [16:09] hello, does anyone know how to change your keyboard shortcuts on xubuntu 10.04. before, it was something like setting -> keyboard, but how to edit the new settings editor ? [16:09] sunk8: thanks, I am gonna do that now. Thanks alot. [16:09] LogicalDash: doesn't works - also on disabled, and enabled that repos [16:09] <_pg_> everytime I install e17 on ubuntu, I lose all network connectivity. I lose nm-applet, and the hardware appears to be seen I just cannot grab a dhcp lease via wireless. anyone know whats up? [16:09] how to remount / in read only [16:09] kamran. no problem man. tc. [16:09] morsik: try uninstalling all your jack stuff first === bitModulous is now known as bitMod [16:09] Can anyone offer any help with audio over hdmi to tv, please? I get video working over hdmi, and i get audio per analog, but on separate channels. (lucid 10.04, nvidia gts250, sb audigy2) [16:09] mikebot: Doh! I didn't leave out the ure, I just pasted all those package names in the middle of the command.... take the "ure" off the end, lol [16:10] karmic was very slow on my laptop due to bad graphics drivers for the built-in intel graphics controller. do you think it will be faster (i.e. better drivers) with lucid? [16:10] mount -o remount,ro,noload / always return 'device is busy' [16:10] mikebot: sorry about that... [16:10] LogicalDash, I think that I cant use compiz without 3d acceleration or composite [16:10] tuliohm, oh right. Can't help you then. [16:10] boscop: definitely [16:10] undecim: Haha. No problem. One moment please. [16:10] ok :p [16:10] LogicalDash: the same... -.- [16:10] I guess no one has played w/ the keyboard shortcuts ? [16:10] yet [16:10] thank you anyway [16:10] drivers keep improving each release [16:10] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libjack-dev: Depends: libjack0 (= 0.118+svn3796-1ubuntu2) but 0.118.0-karmic~ppa1 is to be installed [16:10] I'm already running in recovery mode [16:11] ...weird... [16:11] yeah, nice [16:11] now i can't install jack [16:11] argh [16:11] kroson, really? they said karmic would be faster than jaunty, too, but I saw no change! [16:11] mikebot: You will need to log out and then back in after doing that to see if it works [16:11] I cant see the bottom of file management preferences window. Help me. (This only happened after 9.10 update yesterday. My resolution is lower and I dont have a higher choice anymore.) [16:11] boscop: i saw... at least on my netbook [16:11] by the way, the "me menu" and "gwibber" don't work to on lucid [16:11] 10.04LTS is much faster on my netbook [16:11] Hi! i need help to get my system to recognize my hdmi-audio thingy :) [16:11] time to upgrade hardware [16:11] Did the Max/Min/Close buttons move to the left permanently? Why? [16:12] i can't add a facebook account [16:12] kroson, with intel graphics card? [16:12] undecim: OK, one moment please. [16:12] * felon going i7 baby [16:12] LogicalDash: i got this: http://wklej.org/id/326370/ [16:12] boscop: yes [16:12] Gieke. There are a lot of bugs with 'em. [16:12] ok [16:12] then they will get solved i guess [16:12] boscop: just dont expect the same performance as an ati or nvidia [16:13] kroson, would reinstalling lucid ubuntu make a difference compared to just upgrading? [16:13] but it will be good, i hope [16:13] boscop: its safer than upgrading [16:13] Gieke: It was working fine on 9.10, I just upgraded and now its not working [16:13] i had the same [16:13] is there any way to read windows minidump files on ubuntu [16:13] i just installed all the adobe flash tings till i found one that worked [16:13] Hi! i need help to get my system to recognize my hdmi-audio thingy :) (nvidia gts250) [16:13] he [16:13] will all new changes be applied when upgrading? or do they omit some in order to not break the system? [16:14] !who | Gieke [16:14] Gieke: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:14] hello [16:14] boscop its easier and safer to just back up and install from scratch [16:14] hey what is the link for help in file permissions [16:14] hey i installed the netbook edition now but i dont wannt this desktop i wannte the normal how can i fix this ? [16:14] when upgrading to karmic I only noticed that it uninstalled my favorite apps like latex, and installed abiword for it (which is no valid replacement) [16:14] boscop: upgrading may break your system, backups and clean install are better [16:14] Hi! (sorry my english) after de upgrade 9.10 -> 10.04 all ok, but i can't see the tittle bar in the windows! [16:14] undecim: It's the same.

[16:15] and remember which apps I need? [16:15] boscop: well, it did well for you, in jaunty-->karmic, so maybe it goes fine for you in karmic-->lucid [16:15] LogicalDash: lol. i fixed this! [16:15] i everyone [16:15] how can I make SCIM my default input method in lucid? [16:15] boscop: you should backup what you need [16:16] Why did the Max/Min/Close buttons move to the left permanently? [16:16] ive never done backups on ubuntu [16:16] morsik, coooool. It would be nice if you would post a description of the problem and the solution on the forums, unless it's already there. [16:16] anyone remembers the app's name that's like ubuntu-tweak, alarius, allurius, something like that? [16:16] undecim: Thank you very much for all your help. Best. [16:16] i dont know if there is an application for it [16:16] Gieke: Ok I got it working [16:16] LogicalDash: autoupgrader changed repos from "karmic" to "lucid" on my ppas, but lucid versions isn't ready yet. i changed "lucid" entries to "karmic" back [16:16] michael__: install ubuntu-desktop, then remove ubuntu-netbook [16:16] Gieke: Thanks [16:16] LogicalDash: and third-party packaged can be installed now [16:16] Hi!

[16:16] morsik, win! [16:16] ofc, ubuntu distro is still lucid [16:16] boscop: even if you are going for the upgrade, backup first, if you are lucky you dont need to do a clean install, but in case you arent you have your data safe [16:16] michael__: I THINK that will do it, but remember I haven't tested it, so carefully scan the list of what will be installed and removed to be sure that nothing crazy is happening [16:16] aurilliance: I think that the xserver handels this now.

I'm having some trouble with the touchpad on my macbook in gnome. I found a forum post about putting LockedDrags in my FDI file, but what is my FDI file? [16:22] it says im connected but i get nowhere [16:22] which one would be better just for MSN protocol? empathy, pidgin or emesene?? [16:22] . [16:22] ombra: You win, hehe [16:22] im using my droid to tether right now [16:22] It seems xorg.conf is no longer used, how do I configure X? [16:22] which i would think would be the more difficult to use :P [16:22] but im stumped. it says its working but i get nowhere [16:22] kronos003, depends what you wanna do with it. [16:23] had the problem too someday is it wpa or wep, did u ever try wpa-supplicant? atomicsunset [16:23] Kroson: I don't think it really matters, it would be mainly personal preference. I prefer Pidgin though (you can implement Xfire in it with the gfire plugin) [16:23] what's a good image -> pbm, pgm or ppm convertor? [16:23] well we know that with empathy you can only chat, no file / video / voice with msn. I haven't experienced it yet (so it may have been fixed) but with 9.10 I had problems where contacts statuses where not correctly displayed (online people appeared offline and visa versa) [16:23] hey guys [16:23] Kutagh: as long as they dont have big differences, any one would be fine [16:23] I really liked Ubuntu 10.04 [16:23] Zorge, no video and voice either in Pidgin, I think. [16:24] but if one has an important feature for MSN that other doesnt, i would prefer it i think [16:24] Kroson, I don't know in terms of features... [16:24] djzn: welcome xD [16:24] Zorge: did you try emesene or amsn to get video calls ? they suit it better [16:24] Hello, i'm a little problem with xchat and more particulary with IRC, someone can help me please? Thank you and sorry for my bad english [16:24] emesene supports video calls [16:24] shaggyoaf: if you write an xorg.conf, it will still be used. It's jut no longer required. [16:24] amsn is ugly lol [16:25] amsn 2 is coming sooon [16:25] amsn is crap [16:25] from what i remember [16:25] so emesene sounds like your choice then kroson? [16:25] I recommend empathy or emesene [16:25] Zorge: yes [16:25] it's astonishing, how Empathy took over Pidgin so fast.... I am using and loving it [16:25] I use skype for video/voice anyway... === snoopy is now known as Guest41024 [16:25] but i heard that empathy would also be supporting voice from lucid on... [16:25] is it possible to skype over emphaty [16:25] ?

[16:26] cesar_CR: LUCK!! lol [16:26] jordi1983: that's ok here in Brazil, since 100% of people use MSN [16:26] djzn: Empathy in ubuntu 9.10 was little bit "poor", but in 10.04 has more options, and now is cool [16:26] jordi1983: but Canada has got YahooMessenger as primary market share [16:26] cesar_CR: just make sure you have backups [16:26] djzn. MSN messenger works in WINE man... [16:26] sunk8: does it? [16:26] sunk8: And who wants that :P [16:26] which version? [16:27] kroson, yes, I have /home in a diff partition [16:27] kroson. Ya 1 of my friends uses it, [16:27] even if it works, i dont want that ad-full crap [16:27] I think pidgin developers relucted to not add video and audio support themselves, and this got them stuck in the past, making it possible for other applications be preferred over it [16:27] overmind. djzn wants. [16:27] cesar_CR: fine, but have the lucid CD with you [16:27] in case you need a clean install [16:27] why is wine in lucid 200+ mb? [16:27] if you are lucky, everything will go well or just minor issues [16:28] before it was like 70 mb [16:28] DeathKnight. It's dependencies not available by default. [16:28] Latest MSN works in Wine ? [16:28] i doubt [16:28] me 2 [16:28] Why did the Max/Min/Close buttons move to the left permanently? [16:28] msn on wine rotfl [16:28] djzn. Not tried the latest one. [16:28] appleblossomm: they are preparing a new feature for the right [16:28] in the next release [16:28] perhaps MSN 4.0, from ten years ago [16:28] djzn: ok, but what if you want to use Facebook, or GTalk o IRC messaging [16:28] i like buttons on the left [16:28] sunk8, oh.. so previous wine would also go to that size if it had dependencies? [16:28] !controls > appleblossomm [16:28] appleblossomm, please see my private message [16:28] jordi1983: facebook is a site... [16:29] jordi1983: but i'm ignorant to those social networks [16:29] kroson, what? Install OSX now? =P [16:29] sunk8: And what will be the next? Windows original copy checker in wine? [16:29] Jordi1983Laforge then use pighting [16:29] mount -o remount,ro [16:29] how can I make SCIM my default input method in lucid? [16:29] appleblossomm: you can change the buttons to the right if you want [16:29] djzn: yes, but also a, I think, jabber IM [16:29] kroson, if something goes wrong, how can I do a apt-get install {all the packets that I had in 9.10} ? [16:29] DeathKnight. Maybe the new WINE has some dependencies, outside the conventional Ubuntu install... [16:29] Tell you WHAT... .let's do a poll "Did you move your title bar buttons after lucid lynx install?" My answers = YES, I got them on the right side. [16:29] cesar_CR: dunno if you can do a packages backup [16:29] djzn: with you can chat with your facebook friends [16:30] but you should go with lucid... [16:30] djzn: I mean with empathy [16:30] overmind. I wouldn't mind that. Still we'll have less viruses here. [16:30] hi [16:30] you can move them? lol [16:30] kroson, yes, I know but it still is horrible to have that by default [16:30] Can anyone help me with Karmic to Lucid grub question? Grub install device? /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? Standard server Karmic install. [16:30] appleblossomm: i got used to it, you can change if you dont like, so dont blame [16:30] lol [16:30] sunk8: Yes, and I think we'll be all the time [16:30] I think 75% of users will move the title bar buttons.... [16:30] hello all [16:31] ok, I am considering going back to Karmic, at least I can use 2 monitors [16:31] does anybody here use empathy for MSN ? [16:31] hi all [16:31] FatGiant, oh the bug with desktop wallpapers? [16:31] i couldn't care less, i woldn't move those buttons because it doesnt make sense [16:31] no [16:31] kroson: i do [16:31] i can't get my ubuntu to recognize my hard drive for installation [16:31] the bug with xinerama [16:31] FatGiant, oh [16:31] kroson, thanks! I know but if I wanted a crapple computer I would have bought one [16:31] im trying to install ultimate edition [16:31] overmind. I have a vision that Linux will take over the world. And Microsoft will release a Linux emulator so that people can run Linux stuff on it... ;-) [16:31] ubuntu, before installing format the drive [16:31] krakerjak: is it any better than karmic? any new good features? [16:31] 2.5 64bit edtion [16:31] osx rocks [16:32] whats the command for installing updates? [16:32] FatGiant: Xinerama? I guess you don't need xinerama in Karmic. Xrandr is your friend [16:32] Ok.. i'lll try it [16:32] I can't find a way to use that [16:32] FatGiant, isnt there a xinerama option in nvidia settings? let me check [16:32] FatGiant, oh .. i was thinking of building a 2 monitor setup... how did you do it ? === bruno_ is now known as Wikand [16:32] yes there is, but it doesn't work [16:32] yes, I moved the buttons back to the right side-- min, max, spacer, close. [16:32] kroson: not really, but twitter and facebook are now supported [16:33] you get the 2 monitors, but you can't use the second [16:33] i tried using gparted and deleting the partitions i had there and reformatting it for ext4 [16:33] FatGiant, you have to open nvidia-settings with sudo first then make the changes [16:33] that didnt help [16:33] FatGiant: Odn't you use twinview with the nvidia property driver? [16:33] krakerjak: yes i know, but msn related, nothing new? like audio or video support? [16:33] Yes, twinview works perfectly [16:33] I have some trouble with my DVD drive on Lynx [16:33] hey, peeps [16:33] hello [16:33] hi how come when i comment out everything in fstab, my computer still reboots? [16:33] Jake2|cfl: I moved it too... no shutterworth autocracy here [16:33] but I need separated with xinerama [16:33] FatGiant: So why use Xinerama? [16:34] kroson they changed it to look a bit nicer, it seems to be more solid with peoples status, but its strictly text chat [16:34] so you have a bigger desktop [16:34] right side is the right side [16:34] FatGiant: ok. I don't know why but you will have your reasons. [16:34] is it possible that since of lynx release, this channel is twice as fat? [16:34] kroson: nope [16:34] FatGiant, no twinview is the bigger desktop it is a single BIG desktop [16:34] mark and space [16:34] On my Winblows setup with the exact same hardware, I have my front mic setup with Stereo mix. I was able to download a windows binary for VIA Audio 1708S, and that enabled stereo mix as well as my front mic. Is anyone familiar with getting VIA Audio 1708S setup? I'm mainly concerned about my microphone, but stereo mix would also be nice. [16:34] kroson: nothing really new msn-related [16:34] with or without xinerama? [16:34] Windows * haha, that's a habit now. [16:35] Zorge: ill keep with emesene then [16:35] its well integrated too [16:35] fatum, not sure but if no one knows here you could try the #alsa channel [16:35] kroson: video/audio was already supported, wasn't it? [16:35] i have a problem with lucid lynx. i have a packard bell easynote mb86 with Conexant audio chip, and under ubuntu, de volume is extremely loud and distorted, before installation(from live cd) and after. i tried editing a file (don't remember which, but i had to add something with volume=ignore but it didn't help. any thoughts? [16:35] not with msn [16:35] krakerjak: not with msn [16:35] Yesterday's 9.10 upgrade messed up my monitor settings. It worked before. [16:35] I'll try with twinview then [16:35] not that i use it, but i like a client with good features xD [16:35] how can I make a hotkey that either brings a running terminal to the top of the screen, or if none is active opening a new terminal window [16:36] if my only option was amsn, i would stick with empathy for sure [16:36] coz_, it didnt work...same gain....

[16:52] ama1. Y don't u just upgrade using update manager? [16:52] Kutagh: remember that XFCE isn't really all that light anymore. Something like LXDE may run even better.

It works just fine with a keyboard hotkey, but i'd like to activate it with my extra mouse button. [16:53] slw, so XFCE would be a bit better, I guess. If it isn't then it is time for LXDE [16:53] maco, I dont have sdb's, but i have usbmon0. Should this be the one ? [16:53] i have xp and download works great [16:53] felon: then you cant store passwords for wireless and suchlike [16:53] ama1: again sounds like your connection is poor [16:53] ahhh [16:53] bombel: maybe? not sure [16:53] pokeh.

[16:54] slw, I know, back then I liked the KDE looks the best when I tried it on my main PC. Not going to use ubuntu on it though since it is primarily for gaming.

[16:56] how do i change what kernel to boot? [16:56] felon: it stores them encrypted for you. annoyingly there's a gnome keyring and a kde keyring (called kwallet) so if you use kmail in a gnome desktop you've got two to unlock. i believe there's work going on to standardise this and make them have a share keyring [16:56] elnur: >system >preferences >mouse >touchpad? [16:56] Kutagh: X does, and Ubuntu uses X so yes [16:57] got a notice from update manager to upgrade to 10.04 [16:57] duffydack: but have you been able/know how to Show Desktop with a button?

[17:50] Dr_Willis, I have actually managed to unlock it for myself, and wanted to write a summary of the process as a workaround for the relevant bug, but I'm having problems, it just doesn't work as reliable as it should. So I've stumbled into gconf internals including these 'mandatories'. [17:50] gucko: just install it sudo aptitude install pavucontrol IIRC [17:50] caac: on the panel? [17:50] skyride: correct... the ubuntu drive has grub installed and recognizes the windows 7 drive but the windows 7 drive will not boot [17:50] attish: yea. the whole gconf stuff. is like system regestriy hacks. :) [17:50] pbmarcano, : Did he have a dual-boot setup ?

[17:58] Ubuntu 10.04 keeps freezing on my HP Mini 2133 netbook(VIA chipset). I think it's something to do with the wireless card (Broadcom), because all freezes happen once something's done with it. The last message in the debug log says: "NetworkManager: [long float] periodic_update(): Roamed from BSSID 00:11:22:33:44:55 (Name) to (none) ((none))" I've replaced the BSSID and the name of the wireless network.

[18:00] geekphreak: nope [18:00] toyman61: possibly but he is concerned that he has the "bugged" version that was released [18:00] toyman61 only thing, doing it that wait overwrites grub so you bassically need to boot ubuntu from a liveCD and fix it, not a disaster though, certainly a last resort [18:01] Hey guys anyone have a torrent for 10.04 netbook edition?????

[18:31] LinuxGuy2009: I've tried three, and googled around, but googling for "terminal linux sound charset" etc isn't specific enough [18:31] cause someone told me top type that so i can get 3d acceletation to work with my video card [18:31] i was wondering if u can help me with a question [18:31] what video card?

Go to edit and see if its in there but just not enabled? [18:32] Dr_Willis: I have checked the forum for a solution for my problem but I didn't find it, my next step was to go here for live aid but it seems futile when it's packed like this... :) [18:32] ie /scripts/init-top/brltty: 19: grep not found [18:32] LinuxGuy2009: it isn't. [18:32] dlb1980: #1 always research commands you get here, unless you are sure it won't bork your system. Beyond that, go edit that file manually and remove the line you added and restart your system. [18:32] greezmunkey - compiling that program is nearly impossible. Every time it tells me I am missing something I install it and then it has 900 other things it says I am missing. I've gotten to a point where I can't find what it wants me to have installed. Plus, why is getdeb doing this? I assumed the whole point of getdeb was to make installation easier, not to spit errors saying it doesn't have the file [18:33] hoonteke: CD quality lossy? not there at all? [18:33] ok thanks [18:33] well any body is it possible [18:33] LinuxGuy2009: CD releases are usually encoded from a 24 or 32-bit master. [18:33] is there software that can do it [18:33] Can anybody help me out with tweaking fan speeds on my video card?

The exact six options I showed you are the same entries in the edit dialog. The text is even the same, except without the extension hint.

[18:34] silasdavis: you can add it [18:34] hoonteke: no I dont think so. ogg is free and works out of the box as far as i know. [18:35] hoonteke: try reinstalling rhythmbox once and see what happens? [18:35] LinuxGuy2009: I am cynically wondering if Canonical is trying to remove support for ogg, since I note the Ubuntu One store distinctly does *not* have an open format. Just mp3. On the other hand maybe that's just licensing issues ... [18:35] LinuxGuy2009: "cd quality" is lossy.

[18:35] geekphreak, I can add it? to what, I want to bind the command that gives you the dialog to a key, and am looking for the excutable command [18:35] hoonteke: ogg will be around for a long long time [18:36] abadabad00: I can't answer that, you could look at http://www.apt-get.org - search to see if the pdfmon package exists there. [18:36] LinuxGuy2009: ah point about the portable music players. But still frustrating. [18:36] LinuxGuy2009: frustrating they don't give an option, like the Magnatune folks. [18:36] Ok, so reading the manual it states "Also check that the device file: /dev/blackmagic/card0 is present. If it is not, and the driver appears to be loaded, the UDEV rule (/etc/udev/rules.d/20-blackmagic.rules) may not be installed properly." This is exactly how it is, the dirver loads fine, but no card is present? Any suggestions on what I can try to do? I'm not sure what they mean by these "rules".

[18:37] trism, thanks again :D [18:37] hoonteke: Did you try reinstalling like I mentioned?

[18:40] But it isn't controlling it, it stays at 30% constantly. [18:40] usamahashimi: I'm not really sure, there used to be an xforcevesa argument, but that is gone, you could try nomodeset, I needed that in some of the early lucid releases [18:40] thevishy: could you describe more precisely what you're trying to do? Which window managers? Do you need to keep gnome around? [18:40] greezmunkey - http://www.getdeb.net/software/PDF%20Mod [18:40] I run dual monitors and I've watched it while I play a game.

[19:22] ubuntu-usr: Almost certainly you can just copy files. Is it not a FAT filesystem? [19:22] ubuntu-usr: To make a binary backup, you'd use dd. But it'd be a 8GB file. cpio could also work I guess. But I'm not sure what's significant for the nokia, you might look into nokia help sites instead.

[19:48] ActionParsnip: it would appear not. i've just installed "sound juicer" but i don't see ogg in the list in preferences [19:48] vikramsingh: nope sorry ask in mysql channel, this is ubuntu room [19:48] CyL, sounds like a permissions issue. [19:49] Kutagh: running it through sudo [19:49] LinuxGuy2009, can you run dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd and pastebin the output? [19:49] geekphreak: depends on gnome-desktop-data [19:49] hey this is the output of running update-grub from a livecd: pastebin.com/h5avdPfr [19:49] Kwoodl: possibly a bug.

I have problems when I try yo watch flickr slideshows. Only a black screen is displayed [19:50] ActionParsnip: but, if it's both apps, doesn't that imply that it's something they are both missing, so like a missing dll or something? [19:50] Jeezus... For some reason Xubuntu doesn't want to boot... First the normal install CD for Xubuntu doesn't want to install, I installed it with the Alternate CD, now rebooted.... And it got stuck after the logo...... Using the old Ubuntu disc I got, it actually booted into the Live CD environment (which the Xubuntu 10.04 one couldn't ....) [19:50] psusi: Have you run previous releases on same hardware and worked ok? This is a new problem with 10.04? [19:50] ActionParsnip: It only does this when I install any of the nvidia drivers [19:51] LinuxGuy2009, this seems to be because dvd+rw media can be formatted in two ways, and the one mine seems to be using reserves some space for spare sectors for automatic error recovery... but blockdev --getsz reports the size including the reserved area, which the drive errors when you try to read [19:51] any ideea, please?

[19:52] zeroXten: and a full backup before you start.... [19:52] LinuxGuy2009, did... right click, burn... works fine, except for the fact that running md5sum tries to read past the end of the user addressable area of the disc === blendhamster1024 is now known as canthus13 [19:52] SandGorgon, very high? hmm...

[19:53] How do I find out what is running on port 80? It's preventing nginx from binding to the port. I tried 'lsof -i tcp:80' - shouldn't that show me? [19:53] i hate mike suttleworth [19:53] CSSnub: sudo lsof -i :80 [19:53] qwerty01: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks [19:53] CSSnub: netstat -tupan [19:53] Cssnub: netsat -a | grep 80 [19:53] hi i added sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa to my sources.list and updated lucid, but i don't have nvidia-glx-195 in my repos, so my card isn't getting the right kernel drivers [19:53] can someone help [19:53] ActionParsnip: are you running lucid? [19:54] not sure if i'm doing this wrongly [19:54] jdeloach: thats your list [19:54] erUSUL: thansk [19:54] ActionParsnip: do you have the ogg option in your rhythmbox preferences? [19:54] Angei: install nvidia-glx-185 and 195 will install [19:54] geekphreak: yes. [19:54] Kwoole: on my desktops yes [19:54] Okey guys, maybe you found a solution: How to set the minimize, maximize and close buttons on *both* sides ? [19:54] Kwoodle: I don't use it [19:54] finky: hm [19:54] ActionParsnip: that doesn't make sense :/ [19:54] !controls | jabluszko [19:54] jabluszko: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [19:54] ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip Why not nvidia-current ? [19:54] JabLuszko: Hmm. I think thats doable with some of the controll tweaking tools. [19:55] jdeloach: do this mate [19:55] Jabluszko: simply change the code used in gconf [19:55] ActionParsnip: but do you have it handy to check, so I can figure out if it's just something i've done, or if it's a more systemic thing i have to change? [19:55] Dr_Willis: Nope, I tried ;< [19:55] jdeloach: sudo apt-get update [19:55] ActionParsnip: to what? [19:55] hokeySoL: can you pastebin the output of ssh -v to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and tell us the url? [19:55] hey, why does my workspace switcher no longer allow me to drag windows from one desktop to the next? [19:55] Angie: I know. But it works [19:55] JabLuszko: ive done it befor.. but that might of not been in gnome [19:55] ActionParsnip: i already have nvidia-current though [19:55] JabLuszko: or it may of been in emerald. [19:55] ActionParsnip: should i remove it? [19:55] Anytime I upgrade my nvidia driver to the recommended version it kills my system. [19:55] Lynx sucks [19:55] finky: I think I would go with an quick reinstall of eclipse maybe. I dont see why it doesn't work now. It reads the java executable, but seems to not be happy with it for some reason. [19:55] Spec1alk: I only advise it because it works here [19:55] geekphreak: no effect. [19:56] did it update? [19:56] ActionParsnip: so should i remove it or just install nvidia-glx-185 [19:56] Dr_Willis: If I put the minimize command two times into the gconf it is just ignored [19:56] Spec1alk: lynx isn't bad at all. Just no flash [19:56] geekphreak: yes, updated but ubuntu-desktop still doesnt install. [19:56] kwoodle: I have the option on lucid, and the ogg encoder is a dependency of rhythmbox so it makes no sense that it doesn't show up, can you add it manually? creating a new one and adding the line: audio/x-raw-float,rate=44100,channels=2 ! vorbisenc name=enc quality=0.5 ! oggmux [19:56] Angie: the ppa is great, add hardware stuff for video :) [19:56] Rockj, OK. Let me do another reinstall. Did that earlier but no luck, but cool with trying again [19:56] Loshki, I'll do my best since in logging onto itself using ssh. I should be able to capture output to a text file for that right? [19:56] ActionParsnip: Then why does 9.10 work with my nvidia card and driver, but 10.04 doesn't =s [19:56] kwoodle: for the gstreamer pipeline [19:56] finky: maybe even do a apt-get --purge sun-java-* and do a reinstall of those. [19:57] ActionParsnip: which ppa [19:57] hokeySoL: it's worth a try... [19:57] Sp3c1alk: lucid is young. Karmic is mature [19:57] JabLuszko: actually I may be thinkinf of kde4 where i was able to tweak the settings more. [19:57] Angie: nvidia-vdpau [19:57] ActionParsnip: should i add any other nvidia-* stuff? [19:57] Rockj, ok, will try that too [19:57] I'm trying to force a module to load, but when I use modprobe -f it says invalid module format. [19:57] finky: dpkg -l | grep sun-java to get your sun-java packages. [19:57] ActionParsnip: or just the nvidia-glx-185 [19:57] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I heard that too. Unfor~ I am using GNOME ;p [19:57] Angie: all you need is the 185 package and it will be fine [19:57] Rockj, have a bunch of dev. to do this weekend so this put a damper on that :) [19:58] i cannot login to mysql server [19:58] having issues with wireless connectivity in Karmic, my USB wireless adapter has quit working, bought a new one and its not workin either, can anyone help [19:58] finky: correction, apt-get remove --purge (as it remove config files too) . aptitude probably can do it too (I never managed to do the move from apt to aptitude ;p) [19:58] Gmonnie: run: sudo lshw -C network ,what is the product line for the wifi? [19:58] Its Belkin [19:59] * Rockj looks sad at his htpc and how difficult it should be to configure optical sound in and digital. hmf [19:59] Gmonnie: that is moot. Belkin don't make wireless chips [19:59] Anyone have any experience doing a full disk encrypt setup with 10.04 and a usb dongle? [20:00] Rockj, hah.

[21:01] sebsebseb: all automated systems make mistakes like that (sometimes, so do people). [21:01] D4mi4n: right ok, so you can use the old GDM and loads of themes, which is a bit silly really.

This allows for booting into a non graphical mode "Runlevel 1" then change /etc/X11/xorg.conf "Driver nvidia" to "Driver vesa" [21:02] "The fglrx binary driver for ATI video chipsets does not yet support the X server in Lucid.

[21:05] amabo: hold down alt, then click and drag the panel to wherever you want it [21:05] sebsebseb: will try:D any risk? [21:05] ryan_languagelab: I have no ideea because quality on both Fedora and Ubuntu is going downhill lately. [21:05] slw, will that set the default monitor? [21:05] Bayliners: thanks for your help! [21:05] anyone???please i need libgtk-1.2 [21:05] ryan_languagelab: Np. I use that on my Lucid as well unfortunately. [21:05] D4mi4n: sometimes upgrades, go wrong, but I think 9.10 to 10.04 upgrade will go rather well indeed. If it was to mess up, you could still access data on Live CD for example. Also any important data should be backed up else where anyway, hard disks can fail and so on. [21:05] I think it will save the setting as to which monitor to put the panel on, but it doesn't set the "default" monitor persay. [21:06] ryan_languagelab, you could try starting with a lower graphics spec as a kernel parameter. Just until you can install the propriatary drivers from nVidia...

[21:06] goodnight [21:06] D4mi4n: I was going to be upgrading the other computer at the moment, but will probably do it later instead [21:07] ryan_languagelab: To be fair i cant see how Lucid can be any good. They arent using the latest server versions etc and the QA is bordering on Microsoftyness /saddens me. === agnel is now known as agnel-away [21:07] sebsebseb: what about my programs.. will remain?

I had to open it and swap the jumper cables of my two hard drives. How can I fix this from happening over and over?

[21:10] i dont know why [21:10] D4mi4n: sounded like you wanted the best, well that's the best thing really to try those. sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [21:10] ryan_languagelab: Theres no reason ATI or Nvidia needs to keep the sources secret. The cards are not the same anymore. [21:11] from the begining, i am new like i sed :( [21:11] hokeySoL: ok, that usually means a problem in the shell startup files e.g. .bashrc or .login.

[21:15] how can I limit my localhost speed in ubuntu ? [21:15] hokeySoL: is there a .profile? If so, do the same thing but with .profile and see if that hangs... [21:15] madLyfe: well it's ok for just testing when it works, but when it mess's up it really does go uh on people [21:15] tomolac, ok, can you direct me to the right channel then? I thought you guys know ... by the way linux is inside that hardware! [21:15] madLyfe: uh maybe should be ah instead [21:15] Bayliners, probably. [21:16] Ken8521: Ok. [21:16] i cann't put my usb modem to the usb, because this usb modem is im my friend computer, and he is sharing internet, wirles, so thats how i have internet [21:16] cx [21:16] madLyfe: also RAID is a kind of fancy set up, I have a feeling Wubi isn't really designed for those, but I might be completly wrong [21:16] mkhanyisi: try ##hardware [21:17] Anyone help with Bluetooth K/B & Mouse connectivity? === nick1 is now known as foxymoron [21:17] is there a way to get my os back? [21:17] hello all [21:17] Loshki, bash -x .profile returns about 5 lines of output and gives me a prompt [21:17] hi there any one have configured successfully a nvidia gt 330m? [21:17] tomolac, guntbert thank you guys. let me go there right now [21:17] I got booted. how rude [21:17] or is there someplace better to go for help? [21:17] So I have a quick question for future reference... is the version number for this channel now 10? [21:17] Ksssh! I... Am your Father! :) [21:17] Stereocaulon: I am able to log in now after changing the setting. I was using the theme "Wildbush" and now I am using "Albatross" and it's fine. The file was in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml. [21:17] mkhanyisi: Good luck :-) [21:17] I finally installed 10.04, is there a way to move the close-minimize-maximize buttons to the right side of the window? === IP-v6_ is now known as IP-v6 [21:17] KRiMoRaL: uh this channel does not have a channel number, but yes you can get Ubuntu 10.04 support in here now === juan__ is now known as linuxuario [21:18] is this normal for lucid lynx install - server glx: 1.2 client glx:1.4 [21:18] KRiMoRaL, I would guess, any discussion for 10.10 would be in ubuntu+1 i guess [21:18] madLyfe, what kind of raid you was running? [21:18] raid 0 [21:18] 4 disks [21:18] is anyone else having trouble downloading packages with 10.04 minimal? [21:18] KRiMoRaL: This channel supports most all versions of ubuntu as long as it isn't ancient. The current released version of ubuntu is 10.04 [21:18] i donn't know how to find as a root user this usb_modeswitch.conf [21:18] at install stage [21:18] * foxymoron was so excited to try 10.04. But it doesn't boot on Dell D505 !!! What the ...! [21:18] hokeySoL: ok, last chance, can you do a login which hangs, and before typing ctrl-c, run 'ps ax' in another window to see what is running? Maybe that will tell us why it hangs? [21:18] hi there. I got a Dell Studio Desktop and lucid just freezes at plymouth. pressing a button sees the progress go very very slowly (5 mins to generating locales). I've burnt a new iso too. same thing. any ideas? [21:18] okat thanks sebsebseb any recos for a nice loking light weight desktop mgr [21:18] you guys are funny. I know this stuff. ;) [21:18] madLyfe, raid fro mothebroad? [21:18] ryan_languagelab, thanks! I will keep away from that theme then. Weird that something as simple as a them can invalidate your login screen...well, great that you have everything up-and-running again. [21:18] So if anyone cares, if you are having trouble with nouveau and tv out, and need to use the nvidia binary driver, but cannot get the nvidia settings gui to save to xorg. You must first run sudo nvidia-xconfig to get a copy of xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ then you must run sudo nvidia-settings and copy all the text from the show preview button. Then go to your home folder and create a new text file and paste all the text from the nvidia [21:18] -settings. Then chmod 644 to /home/yourname/xorg.conf and then move this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot [21:18] ya intel [21:18] thevishy: any what? [21:18] i donnt know how to conect as a root user :( [21:18] thevishy: oh recommednations [21:19] Ken8521: Geforce Ti 4200 8x Rev 1 [21:19] guntbert, "cannot join #hardware, channel is invite only" ... how can I get invited? [21:19] where would i find the icon for gvim? [21:19] thevishy: sure LXDE or XFCE, however there are loads of other ones as well that are quite popular really, such as Fluxbox [21:19] ! root | andriucha1982 [21:19] Bayliners, hmm, never heard of that one.. is it really old, or really new? [21:19] yeah [21:19] andriucha1982: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:19] andriucha1982, just use sudo -s and type your own password. [21:19] how do i know what audio ubuntu is using [21:19] .. /dev/dsp dosen't work [21:19] oh. and one other thing. now the volume control applet is missing.. why is that? [21:19] mkhanyisi: two ## :-) [21:19] mohawkboi: the USB transmitter of my Logitech bluetooth keyboard is now recognized as normal bluetooth dongle. That was strange to see... I did the configuration with a non bluetooth mouse... connect new device... [21:19] macman_: Ubuntu uses pulseaudio as of 8.04 by default [21:19] whats the best way to update jaunty to the latest lucid lynx? [21:19] why you need to know, macman_? [21:19] KRiMoRaL: 10.04 is now supported in this channel... [21:19] hello, i need some help. I am trying to install django on ubuntu 10.4. but with django-admin.py I receive the error: ImportError: No module named django.core.management [21:19] foxymoron: recording something [21:19] guntbert, well, that one doesn't work [21:20] Ken8521: Works on Ubuntu 0 uptil but not including Lucid and all Fedoras up til atleast 11 [21:20] tiggerMac << update-manager I believe [21:20] madLyfe, try rebuild your RAID ~ ...if possible [21:20] Hi can i get some help with grub i cant boot any OS at all just blank cursor. [21:20] natrixnatrix89: you need to add 'indicator applet' to get back volume control [21:20] mohawkboi: the device is working like charm and I don't need a bluetooth dongle anymore. [21:20] is this normal for lucid lynx install - server glx: 1.2 client glx:1.4 [21:20] ah cool macman_. its Pulse by default I think. What are you recording? [21:20] kerel: make sure that you installed django in the correct python site-packages directory [21:20] MaximLevitsky: thanks [21:20] mkhanyisi: I think you have to be registered to join there [21:20] artisan FYI Ijust tryed 10.04 alt with unetbootin and it booted just fine [21:20] !register | mkhanyisi [21:20] mkhanyisi: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode [21:20] Bunbury, as weird as it is, this is normal [21:20] tiggerMac: 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade might go wrong. if it doesn't and you then upgrade it no Ext4 support for you unless you did it optionatly in 9.04. No Grub 2 as well, but you can install it. Ext4 and Grub 2 aren't really needed. Ext3 can be converted to Ext4, but for the proper thing best to clean install. [21:20] i went into the raid setup and there isnt that option... it says the 4 drives are offline.. [21:21] kerel: it would seem like /usr/bin/python doesn't have django on its sys.path [21:21] tiggerMac: also in certain ways 9.04 is better than 10.04 [21:21] clean install of ubuntu 10.04 on boot im sent to busybox with initramfs due to the fact it doesn't pick up / on lvm, how do I go about correcting this? [21:21] Is it possible to scroll up on the IRC client? I keep trying to but whenever someone types something it goes back down. [21:21] Ken8521: ryan_languagelab also has this problem. What card do you have ryan ? [21:21] anyone? [21:21] tiggerMac: and for quite a lot of people it was better than 9.10 [21:21] Bayliners, 7900 [21:21] ryan_languagelab: i placed symbolic links in the only two folders on the filesystem [21:21] sebsebseb: how so? [21:21] Aha [21:21] I just can't get lucid to boot :-( [21:21] i've got an issue where gdm will not start on my lucid system, but doing startx works -- any ideas? [21:21] mathepic: what client? [21:21] Ken8521: Kind of universal then [21:22] madLyfe, that's y i hate raid0 ~ [21:22] Bayliners, i guess.. [21:22] tiggerMac: they haven't messed loads and loads with upstream Gnome in 9.04, however this is off topic really. [21:22] ok [21:22] Ken8521: Nvidia96 driver it sais. [21:22] i conected as a root [21:22] Bayliners: I have an nVidia corporation Gefore 7300 [21:22] guntbert: Default one in 10.04. I think it is Empathy. [21:22] how can i find file [21:22] sebsebseb: personally, I'm running 10.04 with ext3 and grub1, and I think it's better that way. I downgraded alsa and I'm tempted to downgrade gdm too. [21:22] and r etid [21:22] ryan_languagelab, then yours and mine should use the same driver, what prob are you having? [21:22] !enter | andriucha1982 [21:22] ryan_languagelab: I am following this manual: http://jeffbaier.com/articles/installing-django-on-an-ubuntu-linux-server/ [21:22] what should i type in [21:22] andriucha1982: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:22] ryan_languagelab: Ok, then its global issues and stuff with Kelly Bundy :) [21:22] unreal [21:23] tiggerMac: depends on the user what they want, and some extent there hardware, which version of Ubuntu is better === zorzar_ is now known as zorzar [21:23] mathepic: I don't know about that one -- but did you try to move the scroll bar with the mouse? [21:23] tiggerMac: also see what Loshki typed [21:23] Bayliners: I was able to fix my problem by changing the theme manually in the configuration file. All I can tell from my problem is that the "Wildbush" GTK theme will cause this [21:23] running lucid, i have a keyboard shortcut set up to eject my cd/dvd drive but when i hit it all that happens is the notification icon comes up in the upper-right, the drive never ejects (and it's empty so nothing is mounted). running `eject` from a terminal works fine. anyone know what i can do about this? === fujnky_ is now known as fujnky [21:23] is there a wubi channel? [21:23] Loshki: I thought it was a bit silly to use the old GDM, so as of Ubuntu 9.10 use KDM instead, which has also improved a lot since before. [21:24] kerel: type python in the command line and then import django [21:24] So dose grub-pc have a gui ? [21:24] madLyfe: yes this one [21:24] madLyfe: well you can do your wubi issues in ehre [21:24] madLyfe: hm this one [21:24] madLyfe, try #wubi [21:24] dang [21:24] ryan_languagelab: So the Nvidia96 driver is having problems with WilBush :P [21:24] 방가방가 우분투가 빠라바라밤 [21:24] sebsebseb: if you use kdm, are you obliged to use kde? [21:24] wildBushes haha [21:24] oops :) [21:24] 방가방가 우분투가 빠라바라밤 [21:24] can i make the grub loader look better? like a nice background img or smthing like that [21:24] !kr | sinsahoo [21:24] madLyfe, ubuntu may be write on a disk when installing grub which kill the raid ~ ,and it is raid0 , RIP >.< [21:24] Loshki: it will install KDE stuff sure, but you don't have to use the actsaul KDE [21:24] usb-creator has the same problem with alternate as unetbootin: grub is there, but installer "can't find the cdrom" ... [21:24] !kr | sinsahoo [21:24] !kr [21:24] ko? [21:24] !cn | sinsahoo [21:24] sinsahoo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [21:24] Loshki: you can use just it's log in screen if you want [21:25] any further hints how to boot alternate from usb? [21:25] i'd like to add the bottom panel again after deleting it - how would i do this? [21:25] oops again [21:25] !kr [21:25] !ko | sinsahoo [21:25] sinsahoo: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [21:25] sebsebseb: I like that idea... [21:25] !ko [21:25] Bayliners: Well, that was my issue at least. the driver does seem a bit whack... whenever i run a program the screen goes blank for a sec [21:25] hi, I'm just upgraded to Lucid from Karmic on my Thinkpad T60, sounds doesn't work in flash, my video is wavy on external monitor, and tomboy, and tasque stopped working... how do I revert back to my previous setup? [21:25] Loshki: it also looks a lot nicer in 10.04 by default, than 9.10 [21:25] amabo: do you still have the top panel? right click that [21:25] Loshki: since KDE 4.4. has improved it [21:26] take care everyone and thanks for your help [21:26] Loshki: the Lubuntu LXDM log in screen, is rather nice indeed as well, will say Lubuntu on it by default though [21:26] artisan, can't you point it to a remote CDRom-ISO image? [21:26] sebsebseb: I'm so old I prefer a text login and they type startx... [21:26] is there an ubuntu help channel? [21:26] VCoolio: it made a bunch of boxes on the left handside when i created a new panel [21:26] Trying to connect a Dinovo Wireless k/b and mouse. I click add new device in the blutooth manager and it asks me to grant it access and it connects for about 8 seconds but no keystrokes or mouse movements are ever detected. [21:27] adriankeith: this would be it. Ask a question... [21:27] how do I downgrade to Karmic from Lucid? [21:27] Loshki: 10.04 also has slim in the repo, which is rather customizable some themes from the site can be got for it, by default when getting from the Ubuntu repo, it will say Debian on it since it uses Debian theme. [21:27] adriankeith: it is here [21:27] !downgrade | romeus [21:27] romeus: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [21:27] Loshki: old/pro/Jedi ? [21:27] romeus: By the way, why do you want to downgrade? [21:27] artisan so you are saying that it boots but cannot carry out the install [21:27] hello [21:27] join #joomla [21:27] Anyone able to give me some ubuntu advise [21:27] Stereocaulon: have no cdrom in target machine :( [21:27] How do I send a message in here so it gets the users attention without sending them a private? [21:27] is there a way to specify desktop files area, just like in kubuntu? [21:27] DarkStar: such as? [21:27] amabo: ?? right click the boxes, see if it makes sense, or drag it down [21:27] Bayliners: old certainly. I wouldn't claim any other special status... [21:27] whats a good program to manage my tv tuner card ? [21:27] !ask | DarkStar [21:27] DarkStar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:27] hi there... i just upgraded to 10.04 and it seems my gnome-keyring-daemon isn't working anymore. seahorse says it can't connect. if i kill the instance and run it from a shell, it works. anyone seen something similar? [21:28] i cant even find it [21:28] mohawkboi: use the nickname as start of the line [21:28] Rave1: right, anyone else has problems with getting alternate install running from usb stick? or any hints, what else to try? [21:28] i just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. So, those nice GDM login themes are not available anymore? [21:28] Loshki: I also claim sexxi :P [21:28] Rave1: tried unetbootin and usb-creator ... [21:28] sebsebseb: I'm running on a T60, I have wavy video on the external monitor, sound in flash stopped working, tomboy doesn't work, and tasque no longer integrates with evolution... [21:28] artisan: I have a feeling that the alternate install isn't really meant to be run from USB stick, but I may be wrong [21:28] !usb | artisan [21:28] artisan: 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 [21:28] artisan, Sorry, should have realised that you didn't have a CDROM in your box... [21:28] Bayliners: off-topic I'm afraid... [21:29] chetnick: nope, but there is gdm2setup on launchpad with which you can choose background, gtk theme etc [21:29] Okay, now I can read the colors on the screen, but I've got to change the text size. Then, I'll be gone. Thanks for bearing with my using this as a tester. [21:29] sebsebseb: also, sound crackles in audacious as well [21:29] guntbert just like this? [21:29] mohawkboi: exactly [21:29] artisan, y don't you create in manually ~ is easiler then those tools [21:29] !tab | mohawkboi [21:29] mohawkboi: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:29] artisan sorry I dont know I did not try to install I thought you just could not get it to boot [21:29] I seem to not be able to associate with WPA-protected networks in current lucid [21:29] romeus: is that a clean install of 10.04? [21:29] thanks guntbert. I'm absolutely new to Linux and I've just installed the latest Ubuntu. I used the hardware drivers to install one of the two suggested drivers. Unfortunately I can't see any of the wireless networks. [21:29] sebsebseb: upgrade from karmic [21:29] Loshki, okay this is weird. I ran ps ax and it tells me that two instances of [update-motd-upd] have been running for about 1/2 hour. I found the script in /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-availabe. When I opened the file it just runs 'exec /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available' [21:29] VCoolio: yeah i saw that. Man that suck, big time, i had really nice DOD login theme. :S [21:29] romeus, crackles in sound mostly point to a faulty pulseaudio setup. Did you upgrade to Lucid, or did you install it from scratch? [21:30] just slow day, ain't it ?;) [21:30] okay, still grey is this blue? [21:30] oops [21:30] ITs blue! [21:30] Stereocaulon: upgraded from karmic [21:30] Yes, now the font size. [21:30] adriankeith: off topic from your issue, but there's a good free PDF manual for newbies, by the way [21:30] !wireless | adriankeith did you see that [21:30] adriankeith did you see that: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:30] VCoolio: it appears to be locked. i can right click it and change it's orientation but i can't alt+drag it [21:30] hokeySoL: good detective work. What happens when you run /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available by itself? Does it hang? [21:30] Is there a way in Ubuntu 10.04/gnome to have something close to xfce's iconbox? [21:31] without actually using Xfce's iconbox itself [21:31] amabo: try without alt; also if you can do it with context menu it's ok right? [21:31] essial: maybe that's a question for #xubuntu [21:31] Rave1: actually, if I'd get the alternate.iso to boot from usb stick would be great, then I'd be able to procede with install (need lvm&creypt, which is not on the desktop installer :/) [21:31] wow lot of people in here [21:31] guntbert: thanks for that, i'll check it. sebsebseb: i'll have to check it out, thanks. [21:31] No I know how to do it in xubuntu :p [21:31] A123: some aliens as well :D [21:31] minimec if I uninstall and reinstall bluetooth do you think that might work? [21:31] romeus, you could try to run the ppa for pulseaudio which will install the latest pulseaudio, as I did, but using such things in a stable release is always risky... [21:31] I'm talking about for ubuntu (which uses gnome) [21:31] adriankeith: Good luck :-) [21:31] Okay, :) ;) [21:31] essial: yes, but probably not that many people in here know much about XFCE [21:31] A123: but it's going fast atm, new ubuntu release you know... [21:32] Basically can you hide the wndow captions in the task bar [21:32] Okay, I'm done. 10.04 works well and I'm out of here. Thanks. [21:32] A123: more seriously, some bots in here as well [21:32] wildbat: how to boot the alternate on usb, manually? dd? [21:32] I hate having the bar fill up with 6 apps open [21:32] A123: that will also be part of the nick number [21:32] sebsebseb, I love XFCE. It's elegant and lightweight. [21:32] Wow, the 10.04 chat client's IRC is hard to use [21:32] what is XFCE? [21:32] KDE and windows 7 both have the ability to do that [21:32] essial: try an icon-only taskbar, like a dock, or the dockbarx-applet on gnome-look.org [21:32] artisan well mine booted fine I just did not carry onwith the install because I have it installed already from CD [21:33] What has happened to vim in 10.04? I can't install the vim package [21:33] my notebook has 4GB RAM but my linux recognize 3GB is there some way to recognize all? Im runnig 32bits version [21:33] dockbarx? thanks [21:33] mohawkboi, You could see it as a kind of Gnome-Light [21:33] !manual | adriankeith [21:33] adriankeith: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [21:33] that's waht I was asking about :) [21:33] D4mi4n: use the 64 bit version [21:33] in nautilus where is option now to disaplya full path? [21:33] artisan, with grub4dos~ just need to install grb4dos to usb, copy the casper, and edit the menu.lst [21:33] sebsebseb: thanks, will have a look. [21:33] mohawkboi: No. You don't change anything. You need a non bluetooth mouse to add your devices... I guess. In this point of you, it is definitly a bug, that the logitech transmitter is recognized as bluetooth dongle. [21:33] is it possible to upgrade from the 32bit ver to 64bit ver? [21:33] pcrov: is the only way? [21:33] adriankeith: ok :) [21:33] mohawkboi, check out http://www.xubuntu.org [21:33] VCoolio few months ago I tried to make use of ubuntu os and after many attempts could not get sound + few other things to work, So I gave up :( [21:33] damn, I'll be back with xchat [21:33] shtirlic: ctrl + l [21:33] mohawkboi, no... that requires a clean install [21:33] D4mi4n: only way i know of [21:33] Loshki, it looks like it's just running like an infinite loop. blinking cursor and no keyboard input. you are being mega helpful as well. this one is a doozy :D [21:34] essial: oh, yeah, sorry, I missed that; see if you can find it, there is both dockbar and dockbarx, the latter is better I think [21:34] mohawkboi: of Ubuntu you mean?

No Grub 2 for you by default or Ext4 support, but don't really need those anyway. Ext3 can be converted to Ext4, but better to clean install instead. and the old Grub for many of us is better than Grub 2 really [21:45] any help is greatly appreciated [21:45] I installed 10.04, connected to the internet fine, I ran the janitor and after that, when i load standard kernel i can't connect to the internet or network. i can do it when i use the recovery and netroot.

[21:58] guntbert: I never ever had this issue before running ubuntu... so i am just wondering. I DID just buy a new router though... [21:58] hokeySoL: interesting, in my clean 10.04 install, /etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available just contains the line exec /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available, which is equivalent to them having the same contents... [21:59] kjele, /dev/sdb1 /home/user/Documents/SharedFiles/Backup ext3 defaults 0 2 (rw,nosuid) [21:59] after updating to lucid 10.04 lts, do you need to update your software links or it is done automaticaly? [21:59] Dead_Pixel: please look at the mentioned website and the thank you to ask the support of that network [21:59] hokeySoL: so is the 'hang' problem solved. And the ssh problem? [21:59] kjele, I can mount it using the GUI manually each time but that's old [21:59] the volume applet changed it's appearance with the new ubuntu -- how can i change the way it looks? (give it a different image)? [21:59] Dead_Pixel: sorry, my keyboard ... and than try to ask.... [21:59] ePi, i doubt you can [21:59] *then [22:00] when I run disk utility on the new ubuntu it said I had a few bad sectors on both storage disk but I didnt get this with the 9.04 ubuntu could it be a false positive? [22:00] is gimp 2.7 out yet [22:00] ePi: go into system > preferences > appearance, then pick your theme and do customize.... then go over to icons [22:00] Guest4773: Can you post fdisk -l in pastebin? [22:00] Anyone help me to fix Time in linux? im using 24 clock format but sometimes it shows 12 clock! [22:00] ePi: the icon theme probably, the status folders [22:00] guntbert: that's just a lookup site, im wondering if this open proxy thing is on my new router or ubuntu or something [22:00] is gimp 2.7 out yet [22:00] Anybody having fan speed issues on nvidia cards and Nvclock will not adjust fan speeds, check out http://www.figured-it-out.com/figured-out.php?sid=227 [22:00] Guest4773: need root permission btw [22:00] hey peeps [22:01] but that would change the entire icon set, i'd like to only change the volume one -- or did i misunderstand? [22:01] mininessie: no [22:01] Dead_Pixel: it looks like it's just looking up your ip against a database rather than probing your comp for anything. you have a dynamic ip? if so it's probably just someone who had it before you with the problem [22:01] good and advanced calculator please... preferably enter on a multiline .. [22:01] anyone got a clue how to use a HEX Key to Access my wifi [22:01] Loshki, yes sir you helped me out big time. And yeah, both files had the same contents and the reinstall you suggested changed /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available to what it should be. Thank you much! [22:01] via terminal or otherwise [22:01] or freely with keyboard [22:01] hokeySoL: thank you for an interesting challenge. Best of luck! [22:01] pcrov: it DOES look like a new ip... so how would i go about fixing the issue? [22:01] looking for an anti-malware/adware for linux to scan windows partitions/networked pc's. Anyone know of any? [22:02] Dead_Pixel: it will definitely be on your router - but maybe you could get more info in #freenode - in the end you will have to talk to the ops of that network though [22:02] ooh.. i just noticed that you could go advanced with the ubuntu calculator :D [22:02] grr think im going back to 9.1 [22:02] kjele, http://pastebin.org/197335 [22:02] hello hello everyone [22:02] !av | rabidweezle [22:02] rabidweezle: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:02] Lady Gaga is not longer on Ubuntu Music Store?

[22:02] !av [22:02] can anyone spare a minute and tell me where i could get infos regarding my problem? [22:02] kjele, I think I found the problem [22:02] anyone got a clue how to use a HEX Key to Access my wifi [22:02] Dead_Pixel: i doubt you have a real issue to fix. [22:02] !time [22:02] via terminal or otherwise [22:02] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [22:03] kjele, Imma reboot and if the issues persist I'll come back [22:03] xangua, as stated, I am looking for it to scan windows partitions/windows pc's on the network. [22:03] ePi: find the icons in the status folders of your icon theme, then replace or edit them [22:03] pcrov: well it won't let me on that irc server because of some open proxy. I just bought a new router, and i had to reboot my modem and i think it gave me a new ip address... [22:03] if i convert the HEX-Key into Ascii i get freaky characters which i cant enter in the password console of my wifi [22:03] can anyone help me settup AMD X64 version of ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD striped raid controller? [22:04] does 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' do the job of update or do I have to do it via package manager [22:04] apparle: You can run the do-release-upgrade program [22:04] rabidweezle: better info for your purposes here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [22:04] apparle: it does a few fixups that apparently were hard to do with straight apt [22:04] Loshki, thanks [22:04] VCoolio: oh, i see. Where is the status folder? [22:04] Dead_Pixel: ah, gotcha. give the modem another reboot and hope for the best [22:05] Dead_Pixel, usually means the person withe ip before you had an open proxy... [22:05] anyone know about HEX-Keys for wifi on ubuntu? [22:05] pcrov: thx for spotting that with Dead_Pixel -- I plainly missed it :-( [22:05] i got one and have no clue how to access my wifi [22:05] ePi: depends on the icon theme; just browse through it, either /usr/share/themes or ~/.icons, if it is in /usr... copy and rename to ~/.icons, edit without password and choose that icon theme [22:05] xD [22:05] can anyone help me settup AMD X64 version of ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD striped raid controller? i keep getting errors as the installation process wants to start [22:05] someone must know if its possible to revive the old way of using the notification area ? [22:05] Dead_Pixel: or find an irc server that doesn't rely on silly blacklists [22:05] ePi: sorry, /usr/share/icons of course [22:05] Dead_Pixel, has happend to me a few times... plenty of windows infected users on my isp. [22:05] VCoolio: Great, thanks! [22:06] ok, Rave1 I tried again. can boot alternate from usb, but installer cannot "detect and mont cdrom" .. can I do something from the shell to let the installer see the cd content? [22:06] penguin42: how to do it exactly and that would work for kubunt right [22:06] np, guntbert [22:06] I'd like to configure my machine so it never screenblanks the console, even if it just booted up and i'm at the login prompt. Some old documentation said to edit /etc/console-tools/config, but it's now a directory, config.d, and I can't find any documentation on what to put in this directory. So: where can i learn about /etc/console-tools? === TannerF is now known as TannerF-afk [22:06] kjele, still having issues. What could you tell from my pastebin? [22:06] umm in ubutnu 9.10 when i double clicked an sh file it would allow me to run it....... why doesn't it do that in 10.04??? [22:06] apparle: If you aren't sure the best way is the update manager, but if you prefer command line then just open a shell and do sudo do-release-upgrade [22:06] Any idea what's the fastest/simplest way to copy about 200GB of stuff between two machines? [22:06] jmv_: netcat or http [22:07] rahduke: I suspect it only lets you do it if you have made the shell executable with chmod +x [22:07] I only need to do that once, so I don't feel like setting up nfs [22:07] jmv_: rsync [22:07] artisan sorry I have no idea [22:07] penguin42: that is the only program for command line update? [22:07] <_JoshMalone> Hi - having serious problems with intel 830m and nomodeset doesn't work :( [22:07] randomusr_: yes! your /dev/sdb1 is not ext3. Looks like you need to use /dev/sdb2 [22:07] artisan, http would require setting up apache, but I think netcat's a good idea. I'll try that [22:08] pcrov: duffydack: unfortunately... even rebooting the router is giving me the same ip address, i dont know why it changed all of a sudden, usually it always stays the same... [22:08] penguin42: i've already tried that, no good..... [22:08] kjele, did that and it still no workie [22:08] rahduke: check what setting nautilus has for executables: ask, open with text editor or run. (nautilus > edit > preferences) [22:08] I'm just moving all my files to my new machine [22:08] whats the benefits in using sahredmemory fs? [22:08] <_JoshMalone> is there any other way to disable all mode setting and just install text-based in standard console? [22:08] any one ever use mupen64 or vba? i need a little help with some configuring of them [22:08] anyone know how to set history-search-backward and forward? [22:08] for bash [22:08] "/apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/hour_format" Can I change it to 24? [22:08] Dead_Pixel, sometimes you need to switch off for a while... (in my case approx 10mins with my isp) [22:08] "/apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/hour_format" Can I change it to 24? [22:08] VCoolio: no sir that did not work [22:09] penguin42: that is the only program for command line update? [22:09] duffydack: who is your isp? [22:09] VCoolio: i'm just trying to get my conky startup .sh to work [22:09] jmv_: there is way simpler http demons than apache. but indeed netcat is way easier, if you know hot to use it [22:09] apparle: Why would you need another? [22:09] inslar ubuntu 9.04, vale a pena ou instalar a verção nova [22:09] ombra: bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward' and bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward' work here. replay the \e[Blah with whatever key you like [22:09] penguin42: I meant to ask that whether its the official program for command line upgrade [22:09] does the server installer come with lvm and crypt ? [22:09] rahduke: and it works if you run it in a terminal? [22:10] apparle: Yes I believe it is [22:10] Dead_Pixel, a thieving monopolising bunch of backwards tech lovers [22:10] !pt > draggom [22:10] penguin42: thanx [22:10] draggom, please see my private message [22:10] #ubuntu-br [22:10] duffydack: with that probing website or whatever, i requested a removal of my IP address from their list and they should retest it so that will happen sometime in the next several hours, hopefully that works [22:10] VCoolio: nope i get a permission error [22:10] duffydack: yeah, aren't they all? but at least you choose the best one from your area [22:10] VCoolio: i ahve chmod'd it tho [22:10] Dead_Pixel, hours? you`ll have a new ip by then lol [22:10] randomusr_: Ok. Can you try to mount the disk and see what it is with df [22:11] Dead_Pixel, thats why I used the word monopoly.. they are the only one. [22:11] kjele, what's the full command? [22:11] randomusr_: df [22:11] VCoolio: even when i run sudo: unable to execute ./.conky_start.sh: Permission denied [22:11] duffydack: well my ip has been 68.149.149.xx for like, 2 years, even after at least 30 modem reboots, then i rebooted it to install this new router and bam... new ip [22:11] pcrow i have to do these commands only one time? [22:11] once [22:11] Dead_Pixel, adsl? [22:11] kjele, also, do i need to use root in the etc/fstab options? [22:11] can someone help me patch a package?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:12] xangua: não etendi o recado [22:12] rahduke: rahduke what does it say if you do 'ls -la | grep conky' ? are you the owner of the file?

[22:36] vic36: yea the new wubi installer is sweet [22:36] vic36: you can uninstall it through add/remove programs in windows [22:36] Brookss, Linux is a modular kernel with a monolithic core. [22:36] i see [22:36] hypetech, that's awesome [22:37] hello. i am install ubuntu from a cd and it is working until "Install the base system" at 6% and tells me that libc6 is corrupt. why is this? [22:37] is there a nice gui for rsync ? [22:37] ombra, put the \ before the e [22:37] cooper[desktop]: burn a new CD :P [22:37] a0lex: Probably, but I don't know of any. It's not bad from the command-line. === colin_ is now known as snowhouse [22:37] hypetech, i did [22:37] this is my third [22:37] none of them have worked. [22:37] k thnx i will try :-) [22:37] hypetech, so is ubuntu using the NTFS that windows is using? [22:37] Stereocaulon: If you describe something such as a building as monolithic, you do not like it because it is very large and plain with no character. [22:38] kappa: hmm... Try to search in your home directory if you can see other wine files. Eventually just delete the whole ~/.local folder since it is that one that holds all the information. And you need to reboot your system. I can't remember the update command. [22:38] Hi, i have fresh Lucid installation, but can't find GDebi in the menus.. its shows as installed in the Software center. Any ideas on why it doesn't show in menus? [22:38] kappa: find ~/ | grep wine [22:38] vic36: during the install it says it's formatting as ext4, so I'm really not sure [22:38] hypetech, any ideas? [22:38] pcrov, another \ ? [22:38] AbyBaby: gdebi isn't in the menu, anywhere [22:38] hello, is there any way to make ubuntu automatically connect to wi-fi networks instead of having to put all of the informantion in manually? [22:38] AbyBaby: well i makes little sense. gdebi is invocated when you double click on a deb file [22:39] cooper[desktop]: all the CDs have stopped at the same spot? [22:39] snowhouse: it does for me with network manager [22:39] Brookss, actually monolithic is not an emotional description, it is a formal one. [22:39] hypetech, vic36: I use it too. It seems to install a sort of virtual disk in a file inside of your NTFS filesystem. So you're formatting a virtual disk in a file as ext4. [22:39] what you run dpkg -l , what does the "rc" at the beginning mean? [22:39] ombra: your pastbin just has e[5~ while you want \e[5~ [22:39] hypetech, yes at 6%. i selected continue and the same thing happened again when it got to about 19% [22:39] the site has removed an \ :) [22:39] ah [22:39] h00k, erUSUL hmm .. it used to show in 9.10 .. anyways thanks [22:39] hypetech, hmmm thanks for the info. I remember it saying ext4 also. I'll look into it more. [22:39] Brookss: you should do a little research about that terms when aplied to kernels in wikipedia [22:39] is it possible to use HFSPLUS as /? [22:40] kjele: im doind it... [22:40] Brookss, here's a link for ya: [22:40] CytotoxicTCell: no [22:40] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel [22:40] CytotoxicTCell: why would you want to ? [22:40] snowhouse: yes, go to network icon, edit, search your network and set it to automac conect [22:40] checking... [22:40] manager or connections? [22:40] oh wait i mean NTFS [22:40] hypetech, perhaps i need to download the ISO again? could've been corrupt [22:40] cooper[desktop] request for a free cd and wait.. this happened to me for 9.10 , or try downloading the image again and reqrite [22:40] t [22:41] cooper[desktop]: you can check the md5sum if you want [22:41] cooper[desktop]: that's possible I suppose. Make sure next time you download it you validate the md5 [22:41] !md5 | cooper[desktop] [22:41] cooper[desktop]: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:41] Brookss, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Technical_features [22:41] pcrov, now is correct: http://paste.org/pastebin/view/18036 [22:41] ok possible to use ntfs as /? [22:41] CytotoxicTCell: if it is it's a bad idea [22:41] ok [22:41] erUSUL: network manager or connections [22:42] snowhouse: is the same thing afaics [22:42] ombra, that looks right to me as long as those are the right keys [22:42] CytotoxicTCell: If Windows compatibility's the reason for it, you can get a Windows Installable File System to talk to ext3. [22:42] kappa: I just find it strange since when you deleted the files in application everything should restore. You can check alacarte to see if you do see the wine menu there at all [22:42] ok [22:42] CytotoxicTCell: why would you want it, it's going to have bad performance [22:42] oh [22:42] CytotoxicTCell: ntfs less so; hfs+ is used by osx so it is somewhat unixy ntfs *no* *way* [22:42] 55618ad5f180692f9dac20cbff352634 ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso [22:42] hi. i've been having trouble installing ubuntu 10.04 from cd onto my laptop. it keeps stalling at various places throughout the installation, from the very beginning when choosing the timezone to somewhere in the installation phase. the most i've got to is around 35%. i've carried out a md5sum on the iso and everything checks out. any help would be appreciated. thanks [22:42] pcrov, how can i know if these are the kews uparrow and downarrow?

The one I found is incorrect (as in, the config details don't work) [22:52] The ubuntu webpage says that U10.04 removed HAL, so why is it still on my computer after upgrade? [22:52] Right, lucid upgrade broke my grub.

[22:54] so i should do a fresh install? and backup my files? [22:55] Glacer, are you running Windows as well? [22:55] no [22:55] vadi01__: anyway - you can enable the proposed part in the "updates" tab of software sources [22:55] sain: how come ? network manager is default install ? it has to come in the Cd too [22:55] I was on 9.04 did upgrade to 10.04 through update manager [22:55] infid: It should be fine, I can only assess my own instalation, but that went with no headaches. You should always back up crucial files just in case [22:55] can someone tell me how to properly set up xorg.conf for my system, i have a nvidia card [22:55] jack-desktop "sudo Xorg --configure" [22:56] jack-desktop: I'd use the nvidia binary driver for most of their cards, just seems to work better that way. :-) [22:56] douglas_ i can't really comment, but that is what happened with me.

I think that's my only way to fix this stuck upgrade process [22:57] Monotoko, it seems to be working fine for right now, maybe it will not do this again I hope [22:57] Monotoko, what is this? =/ [22:58] Are there any known performance issues with 10.04 over 9.10? I'm noticing a much higher average system load level after upgrading, with nothing else really changing on my server. === hexdump_ is now known as binary0011 [22:59] how do i upgrade to nvidia 195.36.24 [22:59] In fact, it went up 10-fold. My average system load used to be 0.03, now it's 0.3 [22:59] hey, whats the command to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 ? in terminal as i have no X [22:59] RandomTime: does doing a dist-upgrade keep files more messy, ie keep around a lot of unncessary files that are no longer needed, and old versions of stuff? [22:59] tamale1: what u see in top? [22:59] Xorg and compiz [22:59] How do I install G25 to work correctly with Force Feedback? Mine at the moment does not steer to the left corectly and has limited feedback when it feels like it. [23:00] * iWolf is now away: away :: P:Off :: Mynx mIRC === iWolf is now known as Mynx[a] [23:00] olfah: do-release-upgrade === heg is now known as votre-pseudo [23:00] !restricted [23:00] 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 [23:00] tamale1: thinks that compiz is harder in 10.04 [23:00] infid: I don't think it does that much, I remember it asked to remove some out-of date packages. Obviously nothing's as fresh as a full install, but that's a pain. As ubuntu's mostly modular packages, it works very well. [23:00] shtirlic: should I try turning it off? === votre-pseudo is now known as heg [23:01] tamale1: disable effects [23:01] 17:59:32 up 9 min, 2 users, load average: 0.53, 0.41, 0.21, should my load be like that with only Xchat going, firefox, gdesklet apps, general drivers and os? I am on AMD X2 64 5000+, then I got 2 GB DDR2 RAM. I have a spare amd X2 64 5500+ at 2.8 ghz dual core, would that help much? [23:01] pcrvo, thank you very very much :) [23:01] Hello [23:01] pcrov, , thank you very very much :) [23:01] How do I disable gdm in the new ubuntu?

Mine at the moment does not steer to the left correctly and has limited feedback when it feels like it. [23:02] !gdm [23:02] douglas_ yes you should... [23:02] !gdm [23:02] TheMudkip: I'd assume you could just do sudo apt-get install gdm, but I'm wondering why your install came without it. [23:02] hi. i've been having trouble installing ubuntu 10.04 from cd onto my laptop. it keeps stalling at various places throughout the installation, from the very beginning when choosing the timezone to somewhere in the installation phase. the most i've got to is around 35%. i've carried out a md5sum on the iso and everything checks out. any help would be appreciated. thanks [23:02] does anyone have problems with amarok on ubuntu 10.04? [23:02] I need to DISable it [23:03] oh [23:03] Not enable it [23:03] Anybody having fan speed issues on nvidia cards and Nvclock will not adjust fan speeds, check out http://www.figured-it-out.com/figured-out.php?sid=227 [23:03] Is there any way to open the .disk files from WUBI? [23:03] The old way doesn't work [23:03] my bad ;-) [23:03] wjazrawi: did u search on ubuntuforums your laptop name? [23:03] does anyone have problems with amarok on ubuntu 10.04? [23:03] It is not a startup service anymore [23:03] wjazrawi: is it an old laptop, or fairly new? [23:03] no i haven't. it's a compaq presario r3000 [23:03] I even tried fucking up its startup script [23:03] It still works :( [23:04] how about sudo apt-get remove gdm :-p [23:04] I want to remove Email icon from Indicator Applet help ! [23:04] I still want it to exist [23:04] I just dont want it to start [23:04] TheMudkip: I think you need to add something to grub, like 'text' on some line [23:04] Anyone tried using the "clamsmtp" addon for clamav? It doesn't seem to work at all? Supposed to allow clamav to work with postfix. Failing that, anyone know any AV software that works with Postfix? [23:04] just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and it's responsive on a 700mhz pentium 3 with 256mb ram lol [23:04] the skype repo in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype is not working.. [23:04] Please help. Network manager and dependencies did not install. Lucid [23:04] why they have to change for worst this stuff .............. [23:04] Oh , by the way , my grub is fucked up [23:04] had [23:04] All the text is weird [23:04] RandomTime, it's fairly old, around 6-7 years [23:05] uLinux: what changes don't you like? [23:05] It is all on top of top of the the screen [23:05] TheMudkip: right click and remove [23:05] maybe slightly less in fairness, i still used it right up until around 6 months ago [23:05] And it is like the letters are missing bottom halves [23:05] worked fine [23:05] !language | TheMudkip [23:05] TheMudkip: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:05] Sorry [23:05] RandomTime the session applet now i have 2 things... and the volume applet with the f*cking email icon [23:06] How do I install G25 to work correctly with Force Feedback? Mine at the moment does not steer to the left correctly and has limited feedback when it feels like it. [23:06] among other things [23:06] wjazrawi: ok, still quite odd that it doesn't finish. I havn't tried the live CD, but I remember an older version had a non-live installer as well. If that's the case with 9.10, try thbat [23:06] infid, try system monitor, file systems [23:06] TheMudkip: Can you take a picture? [23:06] indeed, LILO was always better than grub. Fuck knows why most distros switched to grub as the default [23:06] Yeah [23:06] anyone had network manager issues in 10.04? please help [23:06] hello, running a new install of Kubuntu (although this same thing happened with my previous ubuntu install), I select it in my grub menu and get: error: could not load file (or something like that) error: You need to load the kernel first [23:06] this happened on my previous ubuntu install, and a fresh kubuntu install [23:06] ok. i'll try that after i install the alternate install [23:06] uLinux: You can probably turn that off with some tweaking, the email icon's simpallly right click removed [23:06] i'll then try 9.10. thanks [23:07] RandomTime i tried that it removes the whole applet [23:07] uLinux: check Ubuntu Tweak app [23:07] gsfs: you the same person that wrote this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9208426&postcount=71 [23:07] anyone who knows how to install libgtk-1.2 to ubuntu 10.04? [23:07] shtirlic i have it [23:07] dhrosa: do you have other OSes in your grub menu? [23:07] hi guys, i have 2 nics on my laptop: eth0 and wlan0 , i want to forward all internet trafic from eth0 (10.0.0.1) to wlan0 (192.168.1.3). How can i do that? [23:08] krambiorix: nat! [23:08] hi to all [23:08] easy problem has easy solution [23:08] I had windows XP in it before, but I ran update-grub using chroot on my live CD [23:08] o/ angelus [23:08] one question [23:08] RandomTime: [23:08] where is .bashrc now???? [23:08] dhrosa: bah, you're ahead of me. [23:08] in ubuntu 10.04 [23:08] and grub-install* [23:08] angelus: same place it's always been [23:08] in your home directory [23:08] nop [23:09] it isnt [23:09] RandomTime: now it's just kubuntu and kubuntu recovery mode, but still problem [23:09] http://i.imgur.com/jJkJw.png [23:09] yes, it is, at least it should be [23:09] There [23:09] you can see it if you don't upgrade [23:09] * Vroomfondle just checked [23:09] clean 10.04 install, my .bashrc is in my home dir [23:09] mmmmm [23:09] dhrosa: have you tried to clean install again, just to see if it wasn't a patchy job on the last install [23:09] anybody know why my ubuntu server upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 reinstalls x, open office, rhythmbox and all sorts of misc. tools that I manually removed from 8.04? [23:09] TheMudkip: You can probably solve the problem by uncommenting "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in /etc/default/grub, but I wonder why it isn't working by default. [23:09] not yet, i've only clean installed once [23:09] -- /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mhash.so not found with php-cgi, anyone know why? (after upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04) [23:09] it doesn't make any sense -- this machine runs headless -- why the hell should it need X? [23:09] You mean I can fix the weird text? [23:09] g-ram: yeeh maybe id found old configs [23:09] @_@ i have a problem then [23:09] xDD [23:10] so, I am getting frustrated. neither alternate nor server iso are possible run from usb stick .. obviously because there is no casper on them, and all tools (unetbootin etc rely on casper) [23:10] ah ok [23:10] How do I install G25 to work correctly with Force Feedback? Mine at the moment does not steer to the left correctly and has limited feedback when it feels like it. [23:10] so long as that behavior's not default [23:10] have skype removed their linux repository? [23:11] not yet, i've only clean installed once [23:11] uLinux: you can remove the indicator-applet and add gnome-volume-control-applet back to System/Preferences/Startup Applications and you'll get the one from karmic back [23:11] RandomTime: not yet, i've only clean installed once [23:11] TheMudkip: Are you sure that's the grub menu? In Ubuntu the grub menu isn't shown by default (only if you have another OS installed or you hold shift). [23:11] hi.. after upgrade and install of nvidia driver ("version current") gfx are horrendously slow and compiz uses 95% CPU when moving a window [23:11] works fine in karmic and before [23:11] I mean the whole boot up process is like that [23:11] any ideas? [23:11] thx anyway Vroomfondle [23:12] RandomTime: I really doubt it was a patchy install, as my previous install had done it too after it ahd been working fine for months [23:12] can I get lvm & crypt running with installation of some packages from withing desktop installer ? [23:12] hi [23:12] darrend: report it to nvidia forums [23:12] Where is the grub config file? [23:12] TheMudkip: Ok, then that's not a grub issue (at least not likely) [23:12] dhrosa: That's strange [23:12] shtirlic: why? worked fine in karmic on same hardware [23:12] which package to install to get completion for git? [23:12] The text got messed up after using startupmanager [23:13] darrend: but not the same driver ;) [23:13] this is 10.04, using 2.6.32-21-generic-pae [23:13] TheMudkip: /etc/default/grub is where you change settings. [23:13] dhrosa: it might be grub, have you tried LILO? [23:13] shtirlic: which driver is in lucid? [23:13] LILO? [23:13] It's an alternitive boot loader [23:13] trism tks [23:13] i have 'bash-completion' and 'git-core' installed [23:13] hi [23:13] is i use: mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau file.mp4 i get gpu decoding, how to get some gpu downscaling as well? [23:14] Is there away to stop grub loading during startup. It only showing all the old installed kernels. I just want it to boot straight into my ubuntu 10.04 drive. [23:14] how can I remove status buttons and keep the other stuff (shutdown, restart etc) [23:14] So how do I fix the text issue? [23:14] brontosaurusrex: doesn't sound like an ubuntu-related question to me [23:14] darrend: 195.136 [23:14] It happened after usign startupmanager [23:14] LILO was the original bootloader - still better than grub tbh [23:14] TheMudkip: If startupmanager changed the tty resolution that might be what caused the problem, by default grub passes a value that works with all BIOSs. If you set a higher one your BIOS may or may not support it. [23:15] if LILO is better why doesn't everyone use it instead tbh [23:15] How do I revert the changes? [23:15] shtirlic: I don't see that version in "aptitude search nvidia" [23:15] the only reason distros use grub is because it allows them to put a pretty picture up during boot [23:15] darrend: i used synaptics [23:15] I have difficulties adding a autoshutdown to my crontab... what´s wrong with this? [23:15] 50 22 * * * zenity --warning --text="computer will shutdown in 10 minutes" && sudo shutdown -h +10 [23:15] shtirlic: is it installed under some other name? [23:15] Brookss: It's the whole GNOME vs KDE thing, again - people like choice. Ubuntu chose GRUB and LILO [23:15] darrend: 195.36.15-0ubuntu2 [23:16] hmm,, whow can I get LILO on 10.04? doesn't seem to be apackage for it [23:16] Linux gives you choice, however - it's better than microsoft saying "you'll boot like this" [23:16] uLinux: ok [23:16] uLinux: ty [23:16] LILO's a lot easier to use, especially if there's a boot problem - LILO allows you to simply choose an alternative, grub just throws you a blank command prompt with no help [23:16] opps [23:16] dhrosa: Do you have an old BIOS? [23:16] darrend: run synaptics and search nvidia [23:16] RandomTime: you wont see the zenity dialog [23:16] Lucid 64-bit: Trying to watch videos on youtube. Error message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video". Chose the deb-variant, but when I tried to install it I got the error message "wrong architecture i386". Where can I find a 64-bits version ? [23:16] my PC's MB is <2 years old, so I don't think so Jordan_U [23:16] dhrosa: I honestly can't remember on that, I think you might need the alternite install CD. Perhaps someone else here knows [23:16] How do I install G25 to work correctly with Force Feedback? Mine at the moment does not steer to the left correctly and has limited feedback when it feels like it. [23:16] I'm trying to get Wacom drivers working and the ubuntu site says "If updated to use the 1:0.8.2.2-0ubuntu2 versions of xserver-xorg-input-wacom and wacom-tools" and i'm not sure what it means [23:17] How do I revert the changes? [23:17] toyman61: search in synaptic flash installer [23:17] TheMudkip: Could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub? [23:17] Which is channel ubuntu in spanish [23:17] !es | elgordo1969 [23:17] elgordo1969: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:17] I upgraded from 8 to 9.04 and it says the wacom is current but it's not working, i'm wondering if there is an upgrade I missed [23:17] ok thanks [23:17] toyman61: flashplugin-installer [23:17] trism can you tell me how to add the session applet (lock screen, guest session, log out etc) because i want to remove stattus thing [23:17] shtirlic: can I get back to the 185.x version? [23:18] can anyone help me figure out why I can't double click .run and .sh files in nautilus and have them open in terminal or run? it just keeps opening gedit.... I just upgraded to 10.04 [23:18] darrend: not sure [23:18] Bah, the upgrade to 10.04 must have removed Konsole, :( - that's another package to reinstall [23:18] gnome-session ? [23:18] rahduke: is it have executable permission? [23:18] five hours to upgrade from Karmic to Lucid with very fast harddrive 6gb RAM and core i7 cpu :/ [23:18] uLinux: if you remove the indicator-applet-session, it will add those options back to the System menu (shutdown log out lock screen) [23:18] dhrosa: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg? [23:18] I have difficulties adding a autoshutdown to my crontab... what´s wrong with this line: ? [23:18] 50 22 * * * zenity --warning --text="computer will shutdown in 10 minutes" && sudo shutdown -h +10 [23:18] shtirlic: sure do [23:18] dhrosa: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:18] upgrading to 10.04 woohoo === Latty is now known as Lattyware [23:19] http://pastebin.com/CJCJFR13 [23:19] shtirlic: Flashplugin-installer version 10.0.45.2ubuntu1 is already installed...

[23:20] TheMudkip: Remove the vga=769 from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX [23:20] is there a way to slip "past" 9.10 from 9.04 and go straight to 10.04? i know for a fact the desktop im trying to upgrade will not run 9.10, period [23:20] uLinux: unfortunately I think it comes with the status part, but you could add shutdown/logout/lock screen applets instead [23:20] mohawkboi: uninstall old kernels [23:21] Gartral: no you can't [23:21] Gartral: well there may be a way, but it won't be supported, and could end up braking quite a few things [23:21] shtirlic, : All browser instances have been restarted. The same error when I try to launch a video from YouTube.. :-( [23:21] shtirlic How do I uninstall them? [23:21] sebsebseb: not at all, or "no, but theres an obscure way to force it"/ [23:21] shtirlic: this issue could cause me to have to start all over.... I think my problem stems from using the same home folder as 9.10 and user name.... when i installed i wiped my ubuntu parition and did a clean installthen pointed fstab to my old home folder on a different partition [23:21] yo yo yo [23:21] mohawkboi: in addition to removing your old kernels, you can reduce the timeout on the GRUB menu. I wouldn't recommind ditching the menu altogether [23:21] shtirlic, : No problems with this before I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid.. [23:22] mohawkboi: remove old linux-images and linux-headers [23:22] Gartral: you should just clean install 10.04 really anyway, since by default you will be running 9.04 with Ext3 and the old Grub, If you clean install 10.04 you get Ext4 and Grub 2 by default. Also you could easilly set up a seperate home partition which is a rather useful thing to have. [23:22] sebsebseb: i've had decent luck with ubuntu and "unsupported" methods of forcing my way with things.. [23:22] ActionParsnip: is a smart guy [23:22] hello [23:22] hello [23:22] toyman61: try to reinstall it [23:22] bye [23:22] rahduke: half right, I'm a guy :) [23:22] Gartral: right, but [23:22] has anybody succeeded Windows guest on 64bit ubuntu host via virtualbox with hardware virtualization enabled [23:22] toyman61: remove and install [23:22] ActionParsnip: you are the man [23:22] rahduke: thatnks though dude :) [23:22] toreuyar: Yes [23:22] this is sad [23:23] Still messed up [23:23] rahduke: keep using ubuntu and you will learn stuff [23:23] ActionParsnip: you know anything about permissions? [23:23] I have a question. Why does ubuntu by default installs some unwanted software which puts end users to difficult position. (bittorrent clients are highly dubious software that shouldnt be installed by default because their legal status is unclear) [23:23] rahduke: some, wassup [23:23] this is really sad [23:23] can someone help me with a partition mounting problem : upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10 [23:23] rahduke: so maybe permissions issue set it to 777 and see [23:23] sebsebseb: the motherboard fails with grub2, i've already tried, it keeps codelocking the cpu and freezing.. that was 0.98b2 [23:23] Any way I can get the default font size smaller, it's killing my space for productivity on Firefox [23:23] i cant run .sh or .run files by double clicking them after installing 10.04 [23:23] this issue could cause me to have to start all over.... I think my problem stems from using the same home folder as 9.10 and user name.... when i installed i wiped my ubuntu parition and did a clean installthen pointed fstab to my old home folder on a different partition [23:23] Codex_: you can use the minimal iso and build from the floor up [23:23] rahduke: chmod +x file.sh [23:23] this is really really sad [23:23] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. In Firefox where did the Java checkbox go? I can only see Javascript. [23:24] Gartral: ideally it's best to stay what is supported, or kind of supported so yeah ppa's [23:24] Codex_: everything you put between the () is BS sorry. bt clients do not have any unclear legal status [23:24] shtirlic: i've set the files to 775 [23:24] Codex_: Heh, bittorrent's legality isn't in question. Some of the content on some sites is. [23:24] jimbob? [23:24] Codex_: the legal status of bittorrent clients is entirely clear [23:24] Gartral: it sounds like some other distro may be better for you on that computer [23:24] Codex_: torrenting itself is not illega, though that's a big use of them [23:24] sebsebseb: and i know it's the motherboard cause i change the cables, drives, and cpu/ram [23:24] rahduke: try chmod +x [23:24] ActionParsnip: lol thats the 1st thing i did [23:24] rahduke: try 777 [23:24] Codex_: should ubuntu not come with a browser, as they let you download copyrighted files? [23:24] shtirlic: 777 is really unsecure [23:24] Codex_: Please remember, bitorrent is one major distribution channel for Ubuntu releases. :-) [23:24] shtirlic: should i 777 my entire home folder? [23:24] overall, i am loving 10.04 and the upgrade went very smoothly! [23:24] Gartral: well your hardware needs to be set up properly, or be working properly, or whatever OS your running on there, your likely to experience problems [23:24] Codex_: There is no country that I know of where bittorrent is illegal, only pirating. I would say that a large protion of the downloads for 10.04 were via bittorent and perfectly legal [23:24] rhulad: nope one file try only [23:24] rahduke: no do not 777 anything [23:24] How do I remove a program again including its config files? I remember it was some purge option. [23:24] umm ok [23:24] sebsebseb: the only other os i could get to run was suse.. and inm not signing my soul to novell... [23:25] diddy: sudo aptitude purge package [23:25] ActionParsnip: i suggesst just tets [23:25] diddy: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [23:25] I hate windows, I had its big crash, I want to install Ubuntu but have no blank CD to burn it to, only a 4gb flash drive, is it possible? [23:25] thx [23:25] diddy: it will not remove the config in $HOME though [23:25] Gartral: well yes OpenSuse isn't exactly good since... plus the Novell and Microsoft deal, and to some extent Mono [23:25] Gryllida: ah yes and moonlight [23:25] Gryllida: yes [23:25] diddy: you have to manually remove that [23:25] ActionParsnip, OK, thank you. [23:25] Gryllida: absolutely [23:25] ActionParsnip: so what do you suggest i do? [23:25] Gryllida: if your computer is working properly, you will be able to run loads of distros on it [23:25] kb1jwq: well, it seems that just using a service which has bad content in it is already questionable. And the client availability in the computer is all the proof they need. [23:25] Jordan_U: aggreed torrenting is legal being stupid should be ileagal [23:25] only a 4gb flash drive, how do I put the iso to it? [23:25] Gryllida: it depends on your BIOS, you *may* be able to get it to work, but some drives don't boot, and some BIOSes don't let you boot (most new BIOSes and drives do) [23:25] Gryllida: sure, check unetbootin [23:25] ActionParsnip, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04. In Firefox where did the Java checkbox go? I can only see Javascript. [23:25] sebsebseb: ok, puttting this into perspective, it's an ECS board with bios that dont let you adjust your clock.. (like, the time/date clock, not clockgen though it doesnt let you controll that either) [23:25] rahduke: so it's working with 777? [23:26] Gryllida: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [23:26] shtirlic: actionparsnip says dont 777 anything [23:26] 2 of my partitions are not getting mounted to the mount point specified in fstab..... or maybe the device order is changing on boot?? [23:26] RandomTime, ok! [23:26] i know it's probably been asked in here a thousand times already today... but what's the verdict on 10.04? ready for prime time, or wait a few weeks? [23:26] rahduke: whats the issue, chmod +x will make the file executable and you can then launch it in a terminal or launch it in nautilus [23:26] Gryllida: if 9.10 doesn't work, what makes you think 10.04 will? [23:26] rahduke: yeeh but for test u can always do this === Gryllida is now known as winXPuser [23:26] Gryllida: also 9.04 is still good untill October, it's supported untill October, and it's better in certain ways than 10.04 anyway [23:26] rahduke: in longterm it's bad to use 777 [23:26] Are there any other ways of fixing the text? [23:26] ActionParsnip: thats exactly the problem, that doesnt work... nor does changing the preferences in nautilus [23:26] rahduke: it allows everybody with access to the system, full access to the file so they can edit it and execute it [23:26] pacmanfan: it's running great here [23:26] anyone have any insight on my problem? [23:27] pacmanfan: wait few more days ;) [23:27] 10.04 in wine, esd sound thingy is gone, ?! I can no longer hear sound through spotify [23:27] pcrov, fresh install or upgrade? [23:27] sebsebseb: the fact that what was failing with 9.10 was HAL.. HAL is gone.. replaced by upstart, which i've never used on that hardware [23:27] Manfred-, why? [23:27] rahduke: do you change the directory in terminal to the directory of the file, then use ./filename [23:27] pacmanfan: upgrade from the beta, which was a fresh install [23:27] pacmanfan: lots of strange feedbacks [23:27] rahduke: just tping filename will not work, you must use ./filename [23:27] pcrov, thanks [23:27] Gartral: oh I been messaging the wrong user a lot. that's why you changed to winXPuser user? [23:27] Manfred-, that's what i read on Slashdot. [23:27] ActionParsnip: he has permissions issue so the best test to insure if it bug with nautilus to set 777 on executable file [23:27] sebsebseb: lets put it this way, the only windows os i can get running is ME.. [23:27] ActionParsnip: every time i double click a file gedit launches... and yes i am in the correct directory... i can run .sh files from terminal but when it goes to .configure i get permission denied errors [23:27] pacmanfan: wise sir [23:28] hmm i enables ip forwarding but the dns names aren't being resolved... [23:28] winXPuser: sorry about that, auto complete really does, mess up at times though [23:28] Manfred-, thanks for the input. :) [23:28] ActionParsnip: i've tried to sudo, SU, i'm almost positiive its some weird permissions issue [23:28] reckon the serious bugs will be solved in a week? [23:28] how do you escape ' in bash? [23:28] rahduke: what is the file for? [23:28] is it \' ? [23:28] sebsebseb: dont feel too bad, ive had to recorrect caus auto keeps putting sebner [23:28] Gartral: which RAM? which proccessor? which graphics card? etc? [23:28] rahduke: do u understand why i suggest u to test with 777 mode? [23:28] progre55: or "it's" [23:28] ActionParsnip: http://gloobus.wordpress.com/ trying to compile the new covergloobus for lucid [23:28] everytime i click the 'upgrade' button in the update manager, to upgrade to 10.04 it says 'could not download release notes. please check your internet connection'. but my connection is fine, using fios with ethernet plugged in [23:28] Gartral: I mess it up a lot in here though [23:28] also, the ISO won't be updated with bug fixes will it? the updates will be avaialble for download? [23:29] progre55: yes that will escape any character [23:29] Codex_: Bittorrent is not a service, it's a protocall. Can you find a single country where using a bittorrent client to download Free (as in freedom) software via bittorent is illegal, or even any type of grounds for suspicion of piracy? [23:29] I switched from Gentoo to Mac back in 2006. Yesterday I installed Ubuntu on a new laptop. Before I was using XMMS for playing music, and more recently iTunes. Given that, what would be recommended for a media player on Ubuntu? [23:29] thanks [23:29] shtirlic, : Then it worked!! Thanx!!! :-)) [23:29] hey, how to automatically save state of Wlan and BT before shutdown so its the same after it boots again [23:29] rahduke: the page doesn't mention a .sh file [23:29] can anyone help me????? [23:30] toyman61: welcome;) [23:30] g0tp0t: not until you ask [23:30] ty :P [23:30] Gartral: it sounds like your computer is rather messed up [23:30] sebsebseb, you say I should better try 9.10, not 10.4? why? [23:30] wasnt sure if anyone here was not afk [23:30] sebsebseb: ddr1 512 mb cas 5, P4 2.4 ghz, nvidia 6800 gt.. and the ECS board with bad gounds.. (my USB ports ground INTO the device... and it did that when i bought it!) [23:30] g0tp0t: I don't see your question [23:30] winXPuser: I messaged you by mistake, I was meant to message Gartral [23:30] oh, iright [23:30] ActionParsnip: well in this case the issue stems from ./autogen --prefix=/usr/ command [23:30] on a fresh kubuntu 10.04 install, I select it from the grub2 boot menu, and I get something like error: could not open file error: error: You need to load the kernel first" [23:30] g0tp0t: always easier to ask, not ask to ask! [23:30] rahduke: is the autogen file in the pwd? [23:30] ActionParsnip: when it goes to configure i get permission denied errors [23:30] ActionParsnip: im not sure what you mean [23:31] jordan_u: the main problem is that it's primarily used for pirating. The most common use of it for that purpose makes it bad for default installs in every computer. [23:31] i've tried re-running update-grub and grub-install /dev/sda5 from a live cd & chroot, it eliminated my XP entry, but I still get the same problem [23:31] mythtv needs pwgen but the package does not mark it as a dependency? [23:31] Gartral: 512MB RAM? [23:31] how do i stop sudo password in gnome? [23:31] rahduke: do you have write access to the place you downloaded the files to ($HOME is a good choice here) [23:31] sebsebseb: technically it has a gig.. the BIOS will only address 512 [23:31] rahduke: if you run: ls do you see the autogen file? [23:31] Gartral: ok I don't understand much of that, since not that good with hardware [23:31] Gartral: however [23:31] lucas-arg: it's not evil it's good [23:31] ActionParsnip: sure do... i'm running into all sorts of permission errors with .sh .run ./configure all sorts of stuff [23:31] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer if the screen lock password is entered too many times? [23:31] my question: i have a logitech G11 lkeyboard and it has a load of macro keys. to use the macro keys i must have installed a program for windows, but i cant get it under WINE [23:31] Gartral: take Puppy Linux for example, specifally designed for old computers [23:31] lucas-arg: exit [23:32] lucas-arg: the same as UAC on windows [23:32] Gartral: Damn Small Linux is another [23:32] Gartral: try them from a Live CD I suggest [23:32] Gartral: and if they don't run, there really is something wrong with your computer [23:32] probably easier to answer in private chat [23:32] ActionParsnip: yes i do see the file [23:32] sebsebseb: i really just need a new mobo for the PoS... but no one sells mobos with that socket anymore [23:32] !sortcut | g0tp0t [23:32] !shortcut [23:32] !shortcut | g0tp0t [23:32] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [23:32] g0tp0t: please see above [23:32] Gartral: stay with 9.04 then [23:32] rahduke: beacause you files doesn't belong to you try chown them [23:32] hello, join to ubuntu-spanish? [23:32] i dont want to read that its unsecure, just want to disable passwords in gnome, simple [23:32] hi, no problem if I install virtualbox karmic depot on my fresh lucid ?

[23:32] rafa_: /join #ubuntu-es [23:33] shtirlic: can i chown recursivly? if so how [23:33] sebsebseb: no good on puppy, they went paid for.. and dsl works well, except it has anchient software and cant build without heavy modification [23:33] -R [23:33] thank! :D [23:33] g0tp0t: there's a guide for the G15, might be simlar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LogitechG15 [23:33] Gartral: if you downgrade to 8.04, you have untill April next year on the desktop [23:33] rahduke: man chown [23:33] rahduke: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/how-to-install-gloobus-preview-in.html [23:33] i looked [23:33] diddy java checkbox is absent, look for java in tools, addons, plugins [23:33] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer if the screen lock password is entered too many times? [23:33] and g15 looks way diff [23:33] Gartral: Puppy went paid for what? I don't think so, as far as I know there are still loads of versions [23:33] rahduke: just add the ppa and install with apt-get [23:33] ok [23:33] sebsebseb: i know 10.04 boots from cd.. thats why i wanted to know if i could switch on the fly [23:33] diddy this is since 3.5 version === ohfhfaoaf is now known as Gla === Gla is now known as Gla2 [23:33] let me refase ok .. i want to grab a trailer from a website .. for some reason i can't grab teh flv .. does ubuntu have anything other then record my desktop to record a certin part of my screen that the trailer is playing ? [23:33] Gartral: if you put 8.04 on, you can directly upgrade to 10.04 [23:34] ActionParsnip: ok imma do that, the ppa is for 9.10 tho is that gunna cause issues? [23:34] g0tp0t: the app you are using is for windows as windows has garbage media key support. Linux has it built in [23:34] Does anyone have any experience with MacBooks and Ubuntu here? [23:34] sebsebseb: oh wait, i was confusing puppy for yellow dog [23:34] Gartral: however right if going to do that, may as well just install 10.04 clean install [23:34] rahduke: read the title on the page [23:34] Gartral: you say Grub 2 doesn't work on your computer? [23:34] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer if the screen lock password is entered too many times? [23:34] sebsebseb: yea, grub2 causes my cpu to burn and the system too freze [23:34] pumpy, hold on [23:35] Gartral: if you upgrade 8.04 to 10.04, then well yep you still have Ext3 file system and old Grub by default [23:35] lucas-arg: see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1285651 [23:35] rahduke: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gloobus-dev/gloobus-preview; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gloobus-preview [23:35] winXPuser, I can not find Java in plugins.

Not recomended but will most likely work [23:35] diddy, i'll help you there [23:35] Gartral: where as clean installs of 9.10, and 10.04, will use Ext4 file system by default and Grub 2 [23:35] LinuxPhreak: what are you referring to? [23:35] sebsebseb: i.. transverted my ext3 to ext4 :) im not a linux noob, just always had trouble with this one comp [23:35] Manfred-, i've been in here for 10 minutes, and out of 1700 users, i haven't seen any mentions of 10.04-specific problems so far... that doesn't seem bad. [23:35] everytime i click the 'upgrade' button in the update manager, to upgrade to 10.04 it says 'could not download release notes. please check your internet connection'. but my connection is fine, using fios with ethernet plugged in [23:35] ActionParsnip: if linux's media key support was so great it wouldn't have taken me 2 hours to get X to not drop the "dvd" keypress, and the thing *still* won't eject the cd rom drive [23:35] rahduke: its worth trying to find a ppa in ubuntu you often will find someone has already compiled [23:36] pcrov: depends on the DE [23:36] pumpy: your pw issue I mean 30 minutes [23:36] ---OK--- i hhave installed the g15 from the site you referred me too [23:36] i was just worried about the ppa being for 9.10 [23:36] pacmanfan: sure, early fixes work well ;p [23:36] infid: maybe servers down? [23:36] nothing looks differrent [23:36] Gartral: maybe Mandriva will work nicely on it even, or Puppy Linux OS, loads of distros you could try [23:36] infid: from you route [23:36] LinuxPhreak: I'm not having a password issue === root is now known as Guest95274 [23:36] power off pc via power button [23:36] pcrov: fluxbox can have scripts running on shortcut key [23:36] Manfred-, what do you mean? [23:36] empathy is refusing to connect to my jabber server saying "Disconnected - Network error" but it doesn't actually output any errors to the command line. Where can I find logs with a little more detail? [23:36] Lucid no more asks password for me to mount my other partition, how to make it ask [23:36] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer if the screen lock password is entered too many times?

I am using it on here since November, great distro [23:37] sebsebseb: mandriva is pretty sweet imho [23:37] pumpy: didn't you say Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer if the screen lock password is entered too many times? [23:37] Manfred-, no nVidia in this system anyway. [23:37] ActionParsnip: indeed it is [23:37] ---OK--- i hhave installed the g15 from the site you referred me too [23:37] nothing looks differrent [23:37] sebsebseb: well.. i never tried server 2003, nor win 7, but i know xp ran.. untill you logged on.. then crashed [23:37] ActionParsnip: When did you try it? [23:37] is 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' the exact command to run to upgrade to 10.04? [23:37] LinuxPhreak: yes, I want that set up for security: I want ubuntu to automatically do that [23:38] pacmanfan: have fun [23:38] Gartral, server 2003 is XP with a few server bits added in [23:38] ---OK--- i hhave installed the g15 from the g15 ubuntu help page. i have logitech g11 keyboard [23:38] nothing looks differrent [23:38] pumpy: sorry my mistake [23:38] ---OK--- i hhave installed the g15 from the g15 ubuntu help page. i have logitech g11 keyboard [23:38] nothing looks differrent [23:38] Monotoko: yes, but part of the difference is the nt kernal has some features removed that made xp suck :) [23:38] LinuxPhreak: np [23:38] Anyone here up for helping me with my grub.cfg problem :? [23:38] pumpy, why would you want Ubuntu to shutdown? [23:39] Monotoko: so no one can get my personal data [23:39] sebsebseb: i dropped it when mandriva one came out, i used it loads when it was mandrake [23:39] they could then use the single-user recovery mode [23:39] Gartral: Do you want built in Facebook and Twitter and such features by default in Ubuntu?

[23:39] Gartral: Or even better question, do you know what is in 10.04? [23:39] ActionParsnip: lol just realized i installed gloobus preview not covergloobus, which is what i was looking for.... adding that PPA didnt work in lucid [23:39] pumpy: haven't done this but you may want to try user groups settings their may be option in their [23:39] Fireking300: cause we didn't have devicekit yet.

[23:43] i thin kIBM does it [23:43] TheMudkip: aimed at beginners === spencer is now known as slw [23:43] !pm | g0tp0t [23:43] g0tp0t: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [23:43] i have been searching for days [23:43] the best i found, was stuff saying seatrch ubuntu for answer [23:43] whemn i search ubuntu [23:43] And the things I need are not in the manual [23:43] g0tp0t: then log a bug [23:43] i get people saying search ubuntu for answers [23:43] jordan_u: while the client itself could be ok, it still existing in computers puts end users to difficult position. They lack proof that they didn't have access to the clients of these bad evil networks. And this only because it was installed by default. [23:43] where does menu.lst live these days? [23:43] I need to fix text and disable gdm [23:44] samphippen: it doesnt exists [23:44] !grub2 | samphippen [23:44] samphippen: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:44] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer automatically if the screen saver password is entered too many times? [23:44] ActionParsnip: unfortuantely the ppa's for covergloobus don't work in lucid.... I'm sure its just a mkatter of time till someone updates the ppas [23:44] samphippen: grub.cfg is used now and it is generated so manually ditting it is pointless [23:44] its not a bug... i dont think so? [23:44] TheMudkip: you can use another log in screen, instead of GDM, and log in screens that are better than the new version of GDM [23:44] its not a bug... [23:44] what do i have to add to sources.list to dist-upgrade to 10.04? [23:45] But I don't need a log in screen [23:45] pumpy: what is keeping you from hard-rebooting? [23:45] pumpy: I'm assuming this is on a local pc? or via internet? if it is via internet I have solution [23:45] I don't even want to start xorg on startup [23:45] infid: You geerally don't use that method [23:45] Gartral: what do you mean? [23:45] I just need plain console [23:45] infid: you shouldnt have to enter anything, just do-release-upgrade [23:45] With 'login' [23:45] LinuxPhreak: local pc [23:45] rahduke: i'd just hang for a while or work out why the compile is failing [23:45] Codex_: Could we move this to #ubuntu-offtopic? [23:45] can someone help me with my logitech g11 keyboard? [23:45] i hhave installed the g15 from the g15 ubuntu help page. i have logitech g11 keyboard [23:45] nothing looks differrent [23:46] why do I only have the option to use nvidia 96/173/current ? current (195) is broken for me. I want 185 that I had in karmic [23:46] jordan_u: sure. Sorry about offtopic. [23:46] Gartral: what's 'do-release-upgrade' mean? [23:46] my ubuntu server is stuck on boot with these 2 lines being the last: Write protecting the kernel text: 5108k [23:46] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 1252k [23:46] darrend: add the nvidia-vdpau ppa and install nvidia-glx-185 you will get the 195 as well as optomised nvidia codecs [23:46] wow, I really loved how they improved Ubuntu! 10.04 is sooo nice. [23:46] :) [23:46] pumpy: why cant you just reboot.. if your account was locked cause of too many failed logon attempts (which isnt even possible by default) then rebooting should clear it.. unless theres a vital document open that you dont want to lose [23:47] CartoonCat: Have you tried associating with an AP that doesn't use any encryption? [23:47] can someone help me with my logitech g11 keyboard? [23:47] i hhave installed the g15 from the g15 ubuntu help page. i have logitech g11 keyboard [23:47] nothing looks differrent [23:47] vic36: How so? [23:47] g0tp0t, hold on, someone will just reply as soon as knows the answer [23:47] Gartral: the update manager button doesnt work for me when i try to install 10.04, it says it cant download release notes. so i just ran 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' which is currently installing, but i want to know if that will put 10.04 on my system or not [23:47] infid: it means what it says.. Do a Release Upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 [23:47] Gartral: I'm not trying to get into the machine. I want to prevent others from getting in the machine. [23:48] TheMudkip: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [23:48] Doesn't help [23:48] ActionParsnip how do I "add the nvidia-vdpau ppa" ? [23:48] infid: is it installing or downloading? do-release-upgrade is a little more interactive [23:48] Already tried [23:48] darrend, the nvidia-current is really the 195.x as far as I can tell with dpkg -L nvidia-current [23:48] does anyone HAVE? the answer? [23:48] ok, so i guess this would be the wrong channel to ask about GPU accelerated decoding in varius ubuntu players (video)? [23:48] g0tp0t, this is logitech g11 keyboard, and the g15 thing that you installed, and what is the probem? does the keyboard not work? [23:48] The gdm is literally indestructible on new ubuntu [23:48] I would have to write down and think about the changes. Right now It just seems to be easier to use. The eye candy is nice too. [23:48] TheMudkip: ubuntu is using upstart so it might be hard to disable it. But you should comment it out in /etc/init [23:48] !gdm [23:48] Barnabas: it is, yes. It doesn't work for me [23:48] pumpy: im afraid i dont understand.. [23:48] Barnabas: I want the same version that I had in karmic - that worked [23:48] i am using g11 right now [23:48] TheMudkip: I think just remove GDM, and you probably get some sort of text log in [23:48] brontosaurusrex, nice nick ;-) [23:49] Commenting it out doesn't help [23:49] darrend: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [23:49] darrend, ok - do not understand why the pkg was renamed [23:49] none of the macro keys light up, and i cant change the macroes for them [23:49] does not make things easier [23:49] I still need to be able to start it via startx [23:49] they are currently assigned fucnction keys [23:49] Gartral: Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer automatically if the screen saver password is entered too many times? I want it to shut itself down because I have total system encryption and that will prevent anyone from getting into it. [23:49] Gartral: i dont see anything about 'do-release-grade' in man apt-get [23:49] sebsebseb, I think the last version I tried was 8.04 or something like that. [23:50] ActionParsnip: thx [23:50] apt-get dist-upgrade didnt do much other than upgrade postgres anda couple other pacakges, it still says i have 9.10 installed though [23:50] ? [23:50] vic36: well ok sure, in that case, it may be quite the improvement for you, but it isn't really when compared to 9.04 for quite a lot of su [23:50] my ubuntu server is stuck on boot with these 2 lines being the last: Write protecting the kernel text: 5108k [23:50] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 1252k [23:51] g0tp0t, so the keyboard generally works but the lights & macros in it do not? [23:51] Athenon: boot to a liveCD and fsck the partition [23:51] sebsebseb, so are you happy with version 10.04? [23:51] ActionParsnip: its a vps.... [23:51] ActionParsnip: the install command installed nothing.. maybe because I already have that package installed? I want an earlier version of the driver [23:51] vic36: yes and no [23:51] Is there a way to get Ubuntu to Hibernate or Shut down your computer automatically if the screen saver password is entered too many times? I want it to shut itself down because I have total system encryption and that will prevent anyone from getting into it. [23:51] Athenon: i see, then test the host [23:51] If I'm using an Intel 64 bit laptop, do I download i386 w32codecs, or amd64 w64codecs? [23:51] lights work, i dont know why i saiud that -.-, i meant the three m keys and mr dont light up [23:51] pumpy: have you tried using gnome-system-tools to achieve what your attempting [23:52] infid: thats cause it's do-release-upgrade [23:52] ActionParsnip: test it....how? it pings ok, but i cant ssh in [23:52] infid: not do-release-grade [23:52] darrend: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/try-out-new-nvidia-195xx-graphics.html [23:52] ActionParsnip: cron jobs arent running either [23:52] vic36: us not su above (don't really need to correct this I guess, but anyway) [23:52] pumpy: i dont think so.. though, if your good with crontabs... yo might be able too.. [23:52] sebsebseb, tell me about the no. Did they change something you liked? [23:53] vic36: yes [23:53] vic36: a few things [23:53] LinuxPhreak: how do you access gnome-system-tools? [23:53] vic36: they started doing things I didn't like starting with 9.04 [23:53] im in lucid x64 , how was that command that forces archicteture to install x86 ? [23:53] ? [23:53] i use ubuntu 10.04 and i can't find my sound notification icon...how can i resolve this problem? [23:54] vic36: 8.10 maybe, if how ethernet woudn't just work on other computer counts, however that's probably not really there fault, plus it needs a driver in XP on there as well [23:54] pumpy: if not installed sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools should already be installed [23:54] hello.. can anyone help me to get Gwibber running behind a proxy or through an ssh connection as Facebook is blocked in my country !!? [23:54] vic36: over all since 8.04 even though that issue, 8.10 is my favourite. sadly that great release went end of life on the 30th April [23:54] can I recover my OpenPGP private key ?

[23:55] ok.. 10.04 isnt loading empathy at boot (the ability to set "availible" from the user-info notification applet) like it does in a vm... how do i fix this.. it's been hapening since beta1 [23:55] vic36: Going into details about what I don't like about Ubuntu is off topic really, but we can pm [23:55] darrend: not sure then dude, sorry [23:55] hi, I've updated from 9.10 to 10.04 using alternate-cd image. In the process I've installed grub2 (pc has also W7, but grub was not installed). Now ubuntu boots ok (and superfast!) but W7 does not, it just returns to grub menu when selected [23:55] vic36: if you want [23:55] I was able to get it to change from disabled to unclaimed now [23:55] sebsebseb, sorry to hear that.
