[00:05] LinuxPhreak: I have full system encryption [00:05] chookie: not that no-one knows.. it's that Sony officially removed support for the otheros ability and therefore #ubuntu cant help without sony breathing down our necks~! your on your own until sony get off their nazi-kick [00:06] <_pg_> chookie: proboly because sony took it away haha [00:06] chookie: missed ps3 question. Are your trying to get linuxon it. If so you may want to try a linux distro designed for ps [00:06] phr0stbyte, Problems with flash are covered at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting and the latest version for Windows/Linux/Mac is 10.0.45.2 (Released 2/11/10) @ http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer [00:06] phr0stbyte: download flash player from firefox addons [00:06] guys is it safe to backup my fstab and then delete it? will the system generate a new one? [00:06] <_pg_> Gartral: its going to court in CA [00:06] will flash work any better in 10.04 than it used to? [00:06] infid: yep, my desktop running 9.10 went to 10.04 beta 1 smoothly enough, theres no reason, in theory anyway, why that shouldnt work [00:06] you can no longer install linux on PS3 without hardware hacking [00:06] whats lastest version of totem on repos? [00:06] Hello. can someone tell me why packages like nmap, traceroute or Xchat aren't in the default repositories anymore ? [00:07] on an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 should I be worried if my system's stuck on "stopping portmap daemon" for more than a few minutes? [00:07] _pg_: and germany, japan, switzerland, and almost every EU counrty in the world [00:07] infid, not much, but on May 13 Firefox 3.6.4 will come out with out of process plugins, & it'll be &Bmuch&B more stable and fast [00:07] <_pg_> infid: flash isnt great on any platform. sorry. [00:07] <_pg_> Gartral: will the people get it back? [00:07] sorinello, they still are. [00:08] _pg_: actually flash runs quite nice and consistently on macs, and in my experience almost as well on windows. it's linux that it's flakey [00:08] may laptop seems to be running hotter since installing 10.04, anyone else heard of this? [00:08] i can't wait for html5 to replace flash [00:08] _pg_: one of two outcomes are forseeable: Sony reverts it's EUAL changes and gives back OtherOS.. while issuing a public apology.. or.. they fold, ending playstation as a console and dropping support permenatly for everything Sony. [00:08] How else could I fix the mbr for Ubuntu and Windows? From the terminal I mean [00:08] <_pg_> infid: ? steve jobs himself admits that Flash runs awfully on macs [00:08] infid, ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6rc2/ has the plugins much better than the 3.6.3, really pretty stable & fast [00:08] slw : I had to enable third party packages to be able to install it from the console. I checked from software source Universe and Multiverse too, but still nothing [00:08] How else oculd I repair the grub from the terminal?

[00:10] hi [00:10] It says done. [00:10] I had no lst, but it said it generated one for me. Does it mean I have grub now? [00:10] Calin_Cosmin, it should be, try rebooting [00:10] Calin_Cosmin: only way to tell is reboot with fingers crossed.. but thats not to say it found both oses [00:11] Thank you guys.. [00:11] I have a modem and sound card conflict [00:11] 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 [00:11] dove posso trovare una chatt italiana [00:11] sorinello: for me, nmap appears to be in ubuntu lucid main [00:11] Before entering here, whene I started the computer it loaded grub and said that I could edit the bash line and stuff like that [00:11] dove posso trovare una chatt italiana [00:11] Whenever* [00:12] Calin_Cosmin: some really knowledgable people about grub are in the grub irc channel [00:12] And if I do root(hd0, 1) for example and set (hd0), either it does not recognize the root comand, either the set does not work. [00:12] I have a question about flash? [00:12] Can I use the flash for 9.10... Even if I'm running 10.04? [00:12] Here's my /proc/net/wireless: http://paste.debian.net/71580/ ; what's wrong? Why is it empty? [00:12] Thank you very much to all of you for the effort you are putting in helping so many people.. [00:12] dove posso trovare una chatt italiana [00:12] I had to enable other (partner) software to be able to install it. Before that, nmap wasn't found in the package list [00:12] I'm connected to a WAP [00:13] how can I check where is a package ? main, universe, multiverse [00:13] Kaprenakis: in theroy.. yes.. in practice, depends on what flash has for dependencies [00:13] sorinello: apt-cache showpkg (package) should show where it comes from [00:13] sorinello: type !packagename in this channel ;) [00:13] Gartral: Ok so it will probably crash now and then? [00:13] when setting up chat accounts under indicator applet session... why dont they login after rebooting? [00:14] Or we can try Gartral's idea... [00:14] !nmap [00:14] I think "cat /proc/net/wireless" should output this: http://paste.debian.net/71582/ [00:14] michaelxq: I am running on x64 - I see no info on this. I have searched all this already and would not be here if it was as simple as that. [00:14] Kaprenakis: no, it will either work.. as far as flash ever worked... or it will fail to load [00:14] Hello, there! I had to reinstall Jaunty because of a failed fresh install of Lucid; before doing the latter I re-partitioned the hard drive [seemed like a good idea at the time...]; but the partitioning was done from inside the Windows OS itself, not with GParted or similar: it worked well when I first installed Jaunty; the problem now is that I have Jaunty running ok, but cannot boot Windows: all I get is an option in the G [00:14] !packagename nmap [00:14] Gartral: haha alrighty thanks much!

[00:23] ActionParsnip: sure can gimmie 1 sec [00:23] no sound applet in 10.04? [00:23] Little bug since upgrade to 10.04: Authentications dialogs (e.g. for kpackagekit) pop up in the background instead of foreground [00:23] ok, so it seems that finally the window buttons position depends on the theme. This is good. But there are two problems: 1) the theme preview doesn't place the buttons on the left, 2) there's no graphical way to customize the position of the buttons, and if you select a theme with buttons on the left and a window border with buttons on the right, the buttons appear on the left [00:23] "gnome-power-manager: Depends: devicekit-power (>= 011) but it is not installable [00:23] .... etc with a few more... then "this may be caused by held packages" and says unable to correct... [00:24] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/sXCUCuQu [00:24] there should be a toggle button on the Window border tab to select the position [00:24] slw, yeah, that fixed it.. I forgot some aspects after a fresh install :P [00:24] _pg_, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/426126/ [00:24] Does anyone know how to get to the Rescue option of the live cd?

[00:25] !slow | tux_ [00:25] tux_: 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 [00:26] do i need to just cut and run and reinstall? because that would suck [00:26] tux_: its still withing 2 weeks of release... EVERYONE and EVERY mirror are prettymuch bogged 24/7 [00:26] oh so the servers are heavy? [00:26] ActionParsnip: what do you think could be wrong?

[00:28] the instructions say when doing a full upgrade apt isn't the tool to use [00:28] Gartral: it's a pen that goes with the OQO pamtop computer, it's a Wacom Serial [00:28] g-ram: a torrenting version of apt-get. I haven't used it personally, but it sounds oh so cool. [00:28] apt is NO GOOD for doing full upgrade. [00:28] I've already finished downloading everything [00:28] but it was slow [00:28] <^paradox^> i have ubuntu 8.04 lts and im waiting a couple of months before upgrading to 10.04. i have sun java 6 update 17 and open java 6 as well. are further sun java updates compatible with ubuntu 8.04?

Normally an MS style mbr just chainloads the "active" partition. [00:57] I know how to install Ubuntu. I dont know how to make grub2 turn my PC into a brick. [00:57] anyone know how to debug bind DNS queries? adding "-d 1" to OPTIONS in /etc/default/bind9 (and restarting bind9) seems to have no effect. [00:57] got a prob using the HEX-Key for a wep-wifi i cracked [00:57] how not to* [00:58] Omen_20: What exactly happens when you try to boot?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:58] hello [00:58] Omen_20: Do you have more than one drive? [00:58] is there a way I can get lynx to work with files that do not have a file extension? [00:58] for example [00:58] is it possible a wep key only has 5 chars? [00:58] lynx -dump -listonly 8951966.1 | egrep jpg$ [00:59] Yeah, 2. Ubuntu has my TB, and Vista sits on the old 40GB. [00:59] Raserei: password maybe, but not key [00:59] well, i guess what aircrack gave me is a key [00:59] Omen_20: Try changing the boot order, you're probably booting from a drive with an older grub install rather than the one lucid installed grub to. [00:59] aircrack said the key should be E8:D5:C4:2B:96 [00:59] which is appearently isnt [01:00] didnt give me ASCII either [01:00] Jordan_U, I already tried booting to them separately but I either get that error, or nothing at all. I never see GRUB or an OS. [01:00] any suggestions? [01:01] Jordan_U: yes im sure... have you ever pulled the data off a OEM drive before wiping it? the MBR ussually takes several megabytes cause it holds the bootloader too [01:01] Raserei, omit the : when you eneter the key [01:01] . [01:01] how do I reset an ubuntu root password? [01:01] I followed these directions but it didnt change anything: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD [01:01] sudo passwod root [01:01] sudo passwd, goddard [01:02] if I dont know the old one [01:02] goddard: reboot into the recovery shell and run passwd then reboot [01:02] Gartral i read about that but couldn't figure out how to reboot into recovery shell [01:02] goddard: we've all forgotten our passwords at least once :P [01:03] Hello, everyone. I just reinstalled 10.04, and I was able to narrow down my problem to a graphics driver one. Whenever I enable my accelerated nVidia graphics driver to play games and use Compiz, my computer will either freeze, or go to a blank screen after awhile. Upon booting while using said driver, the logo screen is distorted, however, everything else is normal upon logging in. This excludes the freeze or blank screen after lo [01:03] gging in, that is. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? [01:03] Woah, back up. An additional reboot has seemed to maybe fix it. Let me do a couple more and test the OSes and see if I'm in business. [01:03] hi [01:03] Gartral how do I use the recovery mode? [01:03] _pg_, Wireless is working now; I just had to turn it on :P (I had never done this before or needed to, but some googling revealed how and now it works). Thanks :) [01:03] Gartral I tried pressing esc and it didnt work [01:04] Goddard: Reboot your system and hold down shift after the BIOS screen and select the recovery mode kernel. [01:04] Azdaya: for the boot screen thing see http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [01:04] goddard: when your booting up, you should see grub for 3-5 seconds with a few selections, normally it reads : Ubuntu then Ubuntu recovery, then memtest, then windows loader [01:04] Hi I just installed ubuntu about a hour ago and was wondering what are some fun things that I can do with it? [01:04] hi does any one know where the screen brightness config [01:04] why are movie files not showing thumbs? anyone have ideas? [01:04] Gartral i dont see grub [01:04] goddard: if you dont see grub, hold shift while booting and that will force a grub selection screen [01:04] anything you want not_an_andy [01:04] Azdaya will try that [01:05] ok === levi_ is now known as ritlee [01:05] what do you WANT for it to do?

[01:06] not_an_andy: ubuntu tweak is a cool configurator that you can play with [01:06] #join #ubuntu-cn [01:06] Well, I was eyeballing lynx's '-startfile' option. [01:06] in compiz settings .. how i can turn on grid mode ? so i can set windows to imaginary grid ...i can't find it ?? ... [01:06] Or seeing if it would accept input from a pipe. [01:07] Uh, what was the more "sane" solution, out of curiousity? [01:07] deeeed, try your account passwd ;p [01:07] not_an_andy: press alt+F2 and type "free the fish" without quotes. [01:07] anyone know where i can download cool login icons ? [01:07] login icons? [01:07] not icon themes [01:08] Is there a keyboard shortcut for the Messaging Menu (indicator applet)?

Whenever I enable my accelerated nVidia graphics driver to play games and use Compiz, my computer will either freeze, or go to a blank screen after awhile. Upon booting while using said driver, the logo screen is distorted, however, everything else is normal upon logging in. This excludes the freeze or blank screen after lo [01:13] aguitel, and to be honest lucid runs faster than dell's version of ubuntu 8.04 [01:13] gging in, that is. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? [01:13] Azdaya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:29] Typos_King there isnt, the options i have are: demonstration and complete installation, install from windows, discover more - i did not even see the 'usb-creator.exe' in the cd content [01:29] i'm having trouble using a graphics card in my laptop with an external monitor - it seems to run two different instances of ubuntu. any tips?

[01:29] I accidentally (by clicking on CD/DVD creator) switched my interface from the UNR one to the normal gnome one (where you have a desktop, etc.). How can I switch it back? [01:29] Typos_King do you think by copying all content from the cd into my pen drive it may work? [01:29] how do I set cups as default so I can get my printing back PLEASE? [01:29] so no one else upgraded and their keyboard/mouse just stopped working? [01:30] my 'pen drive' is a creative zen vision:m 60gb player [01:30] wolfo: in this case, I'd backup the home directory to another partition.

[01:36] bahadunn, you have a usb keyboard that fails to work? what is its model? [01:36] bahadunn, you have a wireless keyboard that fails to work? what is its model? [01:36] winXPuser: logitech mx5500 [01:36] bahadunn, okay, I'll look it up [01:36] and the mouse dont work either [01:36] I see [01:36] Does anyone know how I can get back to the UNR interface? [01:36] bahadunn: i never experienced issues with'em on an aspire revo... logitech stuff usually has decent support [01:36] winXPuser: I have not been able to find anything about it [01:36] it worked fine in 9.10 before I upgraded [01:36] THE_GFR|WORK: There are many ways. The easiest is probably to install package bum, then run it under sudo, and set cups to run. [01:36] FiReSTaRT: yeah [01:36] bahadunn, ask at the ubuntu forums then? [01:37] winXPuser: I guess [01:37] bahadunn, ask at the ubuntu forums then? or at the ubuntu users mailing list? [01:37] I am bummed out [01:37] bahadunn: i think there's some usb option in bios that you need to look into.. i know it's a common fix for that type of an issue [01:37] I might just go back to debian [01:37] mikebot in lucid 10.04 you can change between gnome or unr interface at the login screen [01:37] FiReSTaRT: no [01:37] rodd: what about using a 9.1 bootable usb? tried that :) [01:37] bahadunn: i don't remember exactly which one it was b/c i only had to do it on 1 machine [01:37] FiReSTaRT: I have legacy support in the bios [01:37] ratcheer: why was it uninstalled when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04? [01:37] Nautilus segfaults whenever I try to access a particular ext4 partition on my external drive. [01:37] Typos_King what annoys me is that 9.10 was working fine until it couldnt boot anymore [01:38] there is something not right in 10.04 [01:38] Any ideas what might be the problem? [01:38] and I am not the only person having a problem [01:38] iflema: I had it on UNR 2d when I logged in; and it changed while I was logged in (after I clicked on CD/DVD creator) for some reason. [01:38] but seems no one knows of a fix [01:38] so I am stuck [01:38] some hack my promt?? | bazhang [01:38] ratcheer: it says cups is already the latest version [01:38] hello [01:38] rodd: can't fix it? [01:38] all [01:38] THE_GFR|WORK: I don't know, but it did it to mine, too. That's how I answered you so quickly. [01:38] ratcheer: it says cups is the latest version... how do I get it working? [01:38] bahadunn, What you probably need is a comparison of the output of dmesg both on 9.10 and 10.04 [01:39] Typos_King i search all around even here but couldnt find any help, so i decided i should just remove and install the 10.04 [01:39] bahadunn: do you use bluetooth on your machine? bluez might be causing the issue [01:39] THen i tried installing inside windows but that didnt work either [01:39] THE_GFR|WORK: Didn't starting the service work? [01:39] FiReSTaRT: I removed bluez [01:39] bahadunn, that way you can see what part did not connect right. [01:39] Stereocaulon: not possible at this point [01:39] bahadunn: in that case i'm stumped.. sorry i couldn't be of more help, buddy [01:40] bahadunn, It's possible if you boot your box from a Live CD of 9.10 [01:40] ratcheer: no it says "unrecognized service" [01:40] THE_GFR|WORK: But, it says cups is installed? [01:40] rodd: ok... hehe..... I think if you can boot from a 9.1 bootable usb, and have the 10.04 cd files in another usb stick, you can just run the installer on the 2nd usb, which I gather will be ubiquity [01:41] bahadunn, *if* your WL desktop was supported out of the box without any extras that is. [01:41] ratcheer: yes it says its the latest version [01:41] mikebot can you reproduse the results/problem after logging in again? is it persistant? [01:41] THE_GFR|WORK: I don't know. It started right up, for me. [01:41] ratcheer: restarting the machine [01:42] any of you lads with nvidia having issues with usplash messing up after installing drivers? [01:42] rodd have you ever tryed something like this http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [01:42] ratcheer: it says "the server of cups is not accessible at the moment and to try setting cups as default to get it working again [01:42] TraceRoute: How did you install the drivers? [01:43] TraceRoute, yes several times throughout my updates from one version to another [01:43] there is no "add this computer" button in ubuntu one [01:43] hey is there anyway to eliminate old grub entries [01:43] after the update [01:43] iflema: I can't get the UNR one back [01:43] noladesi, yes, just remove them from the grub config and reinstall grub [01:43] THE_GFR|WORK: Sorry, I don't know what that means. [01:43] bp0: i experienced the same issue and am wondering what i've been doing wrong :) [01:44] is the grub config within the OS [01:44] hey how do you disable the keyring on empathy [01:44] ratcheer I used hardware driver the first time, then tried synaptic, then I tired nvidia installer but I assume it didn't like my kernel [01:44] FiReSTaRT, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/FAQ#How%20do%20I%20add%20my%20computer? [01:44] noladesi: /etc/grub/grub.cfg he meant, if you can't using the templates at /etc/default/grub [01:44] i guess there is a bug [01:44] noladesi, I belive there is also a GUI program do that, but I can't remember it's name. [01:44] that is the workaround [01:44] ratcheer: me either :O [01:44] is there a new sound volume applet for 10.4? [01:44] bp0: let's see :) [01:44] ubuntu tweak [01:45] Hi, im having some problems with the gnome-panel [01:45] icewaterman: have you lost it from the panel? [01:45] bp0: thanks :) [01:45] Rave1 cool i may give it a try, do u know if ubuntu has ntfs read/write support? [01:45] at bootup after Grub loads I get a message ' cannot reserve mmio region' so I thought I'd set dmesg to 'dmesg -n 1' which I thought would slience this bootup message in the console but it's not. I thought -n 1 is suppose to silence all bootup messages in the console except a kernel panic? [01:45] rodd: it does [01:45] cool thanks [01:45] edh: ask away in full [01:45] rodd: it does since version 7.1 [01:45] TraceRoute: Oooh, whet a mess. Supposedly, Hardware Drivers (jockey) is the only supported way in Lucid. [01:45] noladesi, under 9.10 it's called Startup-Manager [01:45] hello, just a contribution .. installed 10.04 on old Dell Optiplex 240 with no major issues except ATI max resolution is 800 x 600, 60Hz and Keyring keeps asking me for pass after bootup .. looking into those matters [01:45] Hi Guys. I've just installed Lucid, and I've run into a rather concerning problem. Plymouth doesn't show up until about 1-2 seconds before the login screen fades in. [01:46] peterwang: is that really concerning, or just a minor aesthetic quibble/ [01:46] Where is panel volume control???!!! [01:46] peterwang: That is pretty normal. [01:46] goddard: you ever get setup? [01:46] orion_X11: check you've got the notification area added. [01:46] bp0: doesn't seem to have worked in this case [01:47] i still cant use search in synaptic if my system language is spanish... is it a bug? ive been upgrading ubuntu since RC, any ideas? im almost crazy trying to find a solution [01:47] ratcheer: is this due to my Radeon 4350 card? [01:47] how can I downgrade some file? to a previous version? [01:47] worked for me [01:47] When i restarted Ubuntu, the volume icon appeared twice replacing the network icon (i cant use it), plus all the icons on left disappeared [01:47] ratcheer well what a shame that is. [01:47] but i dont know what folder is the ubuntu one sync folder? [01:47] daftykins, How do I check that? [01:47] fglrx only makes it worse somehow... [01:47] peterwang: Mine is about the same with an nVidia card. [01:47] hi everyone! I try to boot a custom iso via GRUB2 I made with remastersys. Why do I always get an init error of type "/dev/sr0 cannot find media"? [01:48] peterwang: can i pm you? [01:48] anyone know how to silence the console messages at bootup? [01:48] bp0: i'll try making ff my default and see if that works [01:48] Hello, I am using Lucid Lynx final, and I would like to know if it possible to have Notify-OSD notifications not "flicker" when they come in, as they do out of the box. Is this possible? [01:48] Gartal: Um...sure....why? [01:48] ratcheer: its now working imagine that I did nothing but reboot the system again... :o [01:48] oh yeah 10.04 is out [01:48] and skype is still broken :P [01:48] Gartral: Um...sure....why? [01:48] shiznebit, blame Skype for that [01:48] THE_GFR|WORK: I'm glad to hear it. [01:49] pokeh, notify-osd is many ways broken [01:49] peterwang: make sure you arent blocking pms, ive sent three and none have spawned a new window [01:49] bp0: now i think its working... lets see when it loads up [01:49] how can i convert covergloobus.tar.gz to deb? [01:49] orion_X11: right click, add to panel, add the notification area ? [01:49] Stereocaulon: i would, but it always comes down to pulse-audio and the interaction with skype [01:49] daftykins, I have done that [01:49] so its still a problem with pulse [01:50] bp0: On the contrary, it works phenominally well for me. I just want to have them not appear in a twitch-y way. [01:50] where are fonts installed at? [01:50] Hi, im having some problems with the gnome-panel when i restarted Ubuntu, the volume icon appeared twice replacing the network icon (i cant use it), plus all the icons on left disappeared [01:50] shiznebit, The last time I checked with Skype they had a version for Ubuntu 8.10...The Lenny version seems to work fine, but only if you have 32-bit... [01:50] how can i convert covergloobus.tar.gz to deb? [01:50] bp0: now it did :) [01:51] another question... Why is booting grub2 on external usb sooo slow? I am using Lucid Lynx 32 bit [01:51] #ubuntuone btw [01:51] can somebody help me? [01:51] my wireless isnt working with 10.04, it was working with 9.10, is this expected? [01:51] TAEL, that's not so straightforward. [01:51] daftykins, And now? [01:51] Anyone who could assist me with .asoundrc? I need to update .asoundrc to use the alias that is already created by the drivers (I think). Atleast I can do aplay -D surround51:CARD=CK804,DEV=0 surround.wav and it works. [01:51] orion_X11: no idea (: [01:51] Stereocaulon, explain more please [01:51] bp0: thanks :) [01:52] TAEL: get the source code, extract it and run automake.. if you want to distribute it to others... then go read up on becoming a package mantainer.. it's a true pain in the ass [01:52] TAEL, you can just extract the files and use a Debian packager to make it into a debian package, but that needs a lot of work. You need to specify dependencies, architecture, destination and whatnot. [01:52] daftykins, after adding the notification area applet should volume control appear? Is that the idea? [01:53] OK, so I upgraded to 10.04 recently and now I'm having problems with grub2 and my dual boot Windows 7. I searched the forums, and they told me to run update-grub, which I did. Windows 7 shows up in Grub, but it won't boot into it. I think grub is pointing it to the wrong place, but I'm having some prolems correcting it. Help? === peterwang is now known as boodroscotch [01:53] hey all [01:53] TAEL, if it's a useful program, the community will be grateful if you provide a package that allows them to use the conscious tools such as apt-get, synaptic and such. [01:53] orion_X11: in lucid the volume control was moved to the indicator applet, you should add that to the panel [01:53] hey everyone I can get my printers to show up if I turn it on, and the printers are not showing then reboot and they might show up, then they won't show up if I reboot again this is on 10.04 any ideas? [01:54] What's the proper way to modify my path in Ubuntu? (also, how do I "fix" ls so that the . files come before the a-z files?)

[01:59] trism, Many thx I have got that :-) [01:59] Mathuin, that sounds rather cynical, what's up? [01:59] winXPuser: yes, ls.

[02:02] hi folks, how do I make the close, minimize and and maximize buttons in 10.04 go on the right side, like they used to!! :( [02:02] help, i screwed up my /etc/network/interfaces -- how do i boot from grub without network [02:02] !controls | JenniferB [02:02] JenniferB: please see above [02:02] JenniferB, install Ubuntu Tweak [02:02] winXPuser: yes, I know that they moved, and _that_ was documented well (though funny that Mark Shuttleworth posted the "and that's final" message on April Fool's Day. [02:02] ubottu: what above? [02:02] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:02] JenniferB, http://alturl.com/x5d6 === spencer is now known as Ilsy === Guest85776 is now known as jeff1010 [02:03] so suspend doesnt work [02:03] anyone who knows about the /dev/sr0 media not found error? [02:03] -.- [02:03] looks like if i install broadcom proprietary dirvers that will work but suspend is fubar'ed [02:03] hey everyone I can get my printers to show up if I turn it on, and the printers are not showing then reboot and they might show up, then they won't show up if I reboot again this is on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas? [02:03] Can someone help me get ndiswrapper working with my Linksys WMP300n on 10.04? [02:03] winXPuser: thanks :) [02:03] Mathuin, I do agree on that fully. It's for those reasons that I still bide my time on 9.10, waiting until the most blatant bugs and usability issues have been fixed in this so-called "stable" release. Yes, that's a rant. [02:03] hey [02:03] anyone know where to get drivers for an NVIDIA 8600GTS? the ones from NVIDIA.com seem to not work on ubuntu 9.04 [02:04] does anyone here know how to install the firefox nightlies (minefield) on ubuntu? [02:04] is there a way to get back files that has been removed [02:04] as in, nvidia's drivers are in .run format, don't know how to open them [02:04] Zuka, the .run format implies an executable [02:05] Zuka, try this: Administration > Hardware drivers [02:05] it does nothing when i double click it or run from chrome [02:05] Stereocaulon: I was on the fence myself, and decided to give day-one (well, -two due to bugs) a try to see just how bad it is. It's frustrating, and I lose some features I really like, but I'm willing to try since it's not really a production box. === spencer is now known as Ilsy [02:05] nothing in there, edh? [02:05] hey everyone I can get my printers to show up if I turn it on, and the printers are not showing then reboot and they might show up, then they won't show up if I reboot again this is on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas? [02:05] sudo ./nvidiaxxx.run [02:05] edh: Personally, I prefer the nVidia proprietary drivers. [02:05] No proprietary drivers are in use on this system. [02:05] Mathuin, I was more cautious, I used a VM instead. [02:06] Stereocaulon: I took out the drive with Vista and 9.whatever and put in two new drives for software raid. Sadness. :-) [02:06] getting the error "could not download release notes\n please check your internet connection" no matter what server I choose. I am afraid some configuration might be broken on my machine since I cancelled a previous upgrade when it was downloading something [02:06] I got Ubuntu One to work with tomboy, but the Ubuntu One Preferences app I am unable to connect! [02:06] hmm suspend doesnt work, maybe hiberrnate does [02:06] is there any way out? [02:06] so does anyone know what i could do? [02:06] anyone who knows about the "/dev/sr0 media not found" error on booting an iso? [02:06] nsahoo: redo the network configuration? [02:06] ratcheer, after i istalled the propietary drivers, my loading screen change of resolution..do you know why? [02:06] Mathuin: how do i do that? [02:06] nsahoo: laziest easiest way is to reboot and start over. Alternatively, hit 'back' if you can. [02:06] Ubuntu One Preferences also shows under Devices instead of the correct hostname of my machine. [02:07] edh: it is because the nouveau drivers are blacklisted once you install the nvidia one [02:07] Mathuin: did the restart, no good. what do yo mean by back? [02:07] I have a Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter model #FSD8053v4 that seems to be recognized in Ubuntu 10.04 but when prompted for network password, always prompts for password over and over even though correct password is being entered....any ideas? [02:07] edh: Yes, the proprietary driver is not built to work with plymouth. Nothing is wrong with either, they just don't work together. reams have been written about this. [02:07] edh: The same goes for the ATI proprietary drivers. [02:08] Mathuin, I use *hardware* RAID myself and it took quite some time for me to understand that I had to answer no to the question "Do you want to use RAID?". That question referred to software-raid without specifying that. [02:08] nsahoo: by 'back' I meant stepping backwards through your installation to the part where it tries to do the DHCP thing again. [02:08] ratcheer, have you trived the nouveau driver? [02:08] Hello, everyone. I just reinstalled 10.04, and I was able to narrow down my problem to a graphics driver one. Whenever I enable my accelerated nVidia graphics driver to play games and use Compiz, my computer will either freeze, or go to a blank screen after awhile. Upon booting while using said driver, the logo screen is distorted, however, everything else is normal upon logging in. This excludes the freeze or blank screen after lo [02:08] gging in, that is. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? [02:08] Stereocaulon: the only RAID I have is the fake kind, so I ignored the controller after a few hours of frustration and focused on software raid. [02:08] Azdaya, I'm afraid that this is a known bug [02:08] hey [02:08] i'm so happy, lol, windows 7 wouldn't work with my sound card. i installed ubuntu and suddenly i'm hit with a blast of sound. :P the only problem is, i'm not able to get hardware graphics acceleration working yet. [02:08] edh: Only long enough to start the system and install the nVidia driver. [02:08] i need to recover some files [02:08] Mathuin: you mean re-install? there got to be an easier way [02:08] is there a way [02:09] nsahoo: there may be, but that's how I solved the problem when I came across it. [02:09] so, what do i do with this .run file? [02:09] Azdaya: I personally switch off compiz when I go gaming [02:09] Mathuin: ok. thanks [02:09] ratcheer, so by default the noveau driver is istalled in ubuntu 10.04? [02:09] i've noticed the top half of the left monitor flickers black when i run it [02:09] Stereocaulon: Are there currently any workarounds until a bug fix is implemented? [02:09] hmm hibernate works [02:10] Zuka, try this: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [02:10] Zuka: To run it, the gdm must be stopped. That means it must be run from a console, not a regular terminal. [02:10] well I have to say as of right now I do not like lucid at all [02:10] have an old x1650 from ATI. Any ideas on what drivers to install? [02:10] ahhh. [02:10] Zuka, if possible use the builtin driver dialog instead, if you don't do that, you run a big risk of breaking your installation to a point that can only be fixed by adding kernel parameters and diving into config files on the terminal [02:10] no wireless keyboard/mouse and no fix [02:10] Hi [02:10] help, i screwed up my /etc/network/interfaces -- how do i boot from grub without network -- single still tries to load the network [02:10] i'm afraid. :P [02:10] sucks big time [02:11] can any one help me how to run identd? [02:11] hey everyone I can get my printers to show up if I turn it on, and the printers are not showing then reboot and they might show up, then they won't show up if I reboot again this is on ubuntu 10.04 any ideas? [02:11] i'm experimenting with ubuntu one... my right-click "publish" option has just disappeared. anyone know about ubuntu one? [02:11] i installed pidentd, but it is not running. [02:11] yeah. how do i get to the built-in driver dialog [02:11] ? [02:11] I have a Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter model #FSD8053v4 that seems to be recognized in Ubuntu 10.04 but when prompted for network password, always prompts for password over and over even though correct password is being entered....any ideas? [02:11] they better get this sorted out quick cause this is a sucky way to be greeted after an upgrade [02:11] I want some help about covergloobus, please. [02:11] bahadunn: same for me [02:11] Zuka: For Lucid, Stereocaulon is correct. [02:11] THE_GFR|WORK: what keyboard mouse do you have? [02:11] bahadunn, Please file a bug with as much meaningful info on your hardware setup as possible [02:11] i'm on jaunty [02:11] Gartral, can you make a DEB? [02:11] helppppppppppppppppp [02:12] bahadunn: generic PS2 keyboard and USB mouse inland I think [02:12] Stereocaulon: right now I am just doing what I can do have a usuable computer [02:12] tdnicho: maybe your adapter can't cope with wpa2 encryption [02:12] Stereocaulon: I am not really in the frame of mind to file bug reports [02:12] bahadunn: I have a crappy printing issue with ubuntu 10.04 I cannot solve [02:12] Zuka: Do you know how to get to a console? [02:12] Stereocaulon: I'll assume silence is a synonym for no. ;) [02:12] Help. How can i run pidentd?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:13] edh: Yes, nouveau is the default for Lucid. [02:13] hellyeah, with what? [02:13] i did fsck and remove some file [02:13] -_- [02:13] I am trying to uninstall launchy and I cannot ! [02:13] i have a thesis file [02:13] Azdaya, I was reading other people's comments too, you know... :-/ [02:13] i need to get back [02:13] what is nouveau ?? [02:13] can someone create a linux distro for me [02:14] how can i recover file that is removed [02:14] hellyeah: its in the folder's lost and found folder, but you have to be root to look at it [02:14] winXPuser: nouveau is the new open source video driver. [02:14] mininessie, try www.linuxfromscratch.org ? [02:14] !botsnack [02:14] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [02:14] Stereocaulon: Sorry - the !patience comment just seemed kind of unnecessary. :p [02:14] Flare-Laptop: does fsck store the entire file named after the first inode, or each individual inode? [02:14] I wonder what GUI debian uses by default [02:14] tdnicho: I have the same adapter and it worked quite well even in snow leopard! Never tried it in ubuntu though [02:14] ratcheer, oh i see, thank you :) [02:15] so there is no diagnosis for the "could not download release notes" problem? [02:15] I guess I'll give it a try [02:15] hi! [02:15] Flare-Laptop, i remove file from lost+found [02:15] is it gone forever [02:15] Mathuin: idk I think its first inode's # [02:15] Azdaya, well, you started with " I'll assume silence is a synonym for no. ;)" [02:15] winXPuser: i don't understand that i've looked at that and it confused me [02:15] hellyeah: if you ran fsck and the file was put in lost+found, and then you deleted it from lost+found, I don't think you're going to be able to get it back. [02:15] i just upgraded to karmic koala. the computer desktop icon and the "show desktop" button are purple. wtf. can i change those? [02:16] ratcheer, im having some problems with the gnome-panel when i restarted Ubuntu, the volume icon appeared twice replacing the network icon (i cant use it), plus all the icons on left disappeared [02:16] edh: Some people stay with nouveau. It will not do compiz advanced effects, though. [02:16] lucus: too bad for me...worked well for me as well until I loaded Ubuntu...perhpas Ubuntu does not support Belkin (or the other way around...?) [02:16] Azdaya, in the meantime, I was trying to find the bugreport I have seen before, so I could point you to it. [02:16] anyone tried to boot a custom iso and got /dev/sr0 media not found error?

[02:20] klawd, New packages might have been renamed to reflect that change of ownership [02:21] it's still sun java, right? [02:21] it's not oracle java all of a sudden, is it?

[02:24] what are some good offensive nicknames to raid christian paltalk rooms with? [02:25] madkat: Yes, steady connections are good. [02:25] INsaneMonkey02: right yeah [02:25] What...? [02:25] INsaneMonkey02: I know the problem [02:25] INsaneMonkey02: you have to install the windows bootloader again [02:25] :D [02:25] maple1: that's not appropriate here. This channel is for ubuntu support only [02:25] it won't stay connected for more than 30 seconds. I don't know if theres a short with my cord, or what [02:25] INsaneMonkey02, you should restore the MBR [02:25] I don't have an XP cd though. [02:25] scott__: From here? http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html [02:25] jrib, not sure what you mean...I use chrome [02:25] INsaneMonkey02: no recovery partiton either? [02:25] hello, i need some help... I'm updating to Lynx and i'm on Grub-pc config... it is asking me to select in what drives i want to install it? i have 2 physical disks, 1 with ubuntu and 1 with linux, should i select both or just linux drive? [02:25] yes from there [02:25] It's on D: [02:26] INsaneMonkey02: maybe you can find some bartpe cd [02:26] but I cant extract into /lib/ or /lib64/ as I don't have root access to my machine for some reason... [02:26] INsaneMonkey02, a new grub install from the liveCD should recognize WinXP, unless you have also deleted NTLoadr. [02:26] INsaneMonkey02: 1. why did you get rid of Ubuntu? 2. if nessarey you can install only Grub, instead of the whole of Ubuntu [02:26] and I cant su into root to do it [02:26] How do I install Grub then? [02:26] as the password is preset? idk this is a brand new install [02:26] ratcheer, oh I see, the problem can be solved? [02:26] INsaneMonkey02: usually there is a recovery console [02:26] I'd just like to get rid of everything Ubuntu and grub and only have XP. [02:26] The reason is I need more room on my HD. [02:26] INsaneMonkey02: altough actsaully the way I am thinking would mean install Ubuntu, and then get rid of everything, but Grub [02:26] any advice on getting a WPA2 Personal wlan working with UNE 10.04? [02:27] scott__: You have to use sudo. If you're going to do it globally, it needs to go in a global directory. [02:27] INsaneMonkey02: Ubuntu does not need much hard disk space [02:27] jrib: +1 Thank you. [02:27] ok so I should get in a terminal and use sudo to extract, but what command do I use for a tar.gz [02:27] scott__: Although I think Chrome will search the .mozilla directory in your home. I'm not a hundred percent sure on that. [02:27] INsaneMonkey02: you can get by with 8GB less than that even, as long as you don't start filling up home with big files [02:27] help, i screwed up my /etc/network/interfaces -- how do i boot from grub without network -- single still tries to load the network [02:27] Anorion|T61, which Wifi-card do you use? please pastebin your lspci output [02:27] I tried to install Ubuntu again but when I got to the part where I had to partition, it said there were no other Operating Systems on my hard drive.

[02:28] help please lol [02:28] torment: what? Boot from grub without network? I don't understand what you mean there. [02:28] there isnt even a .mozilla directory in my home [02:28] Hi, i tried installing 10.04, but it aborted, package fglrx (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: dpkg-divert: mismatch on package [02:28] scott__: Okay, otherwise, I'll just tell you what I like to do. [02:28] INsaneMonkey02: right and Ubuntu hardly needs any of that space. also you should back up important or just data you want to keep ages to some where else. e.g. external hard disk [02:28] edh: Not without a lot of trouble. To me, the problem is not that big a deal. [02:28] artistxe: how do you installed it¿ [02:28] INsaneMonkey02, it seems that you have removed NTLoadr. [02:29] Stereocaulon, I can't, as I am unable to get on the network on that system. It is the default card that comes in the eee pc 901, which is a ralink rt2860 [02:29] sebsebseb: universe and multiverse were already checked but still no candidate [02:29] Stereocaulon: he doesn't have a XP CD that can fix it [02:29] xangua . with a deb package [02:29] BlacKnight: your question is confusing, Ubuntu is linux. [02:29] How to I put NTLoadr back on? [02:29] Does anyone have experience using a broadband card on the lynx netbook edition? [02:29] ok bob, since I cant find a .mozilla directory, Ill do it your way [02:29] klawd: that's for karmic [02:29] klawd: you need partner repo enabled for Lucid [02:29] BlacKnight: and what is lynx? [02:29] dabar: lts [02:29] In Python, I get the error "ImportError: No module named glade". How can I fix this? [02:29] dabaR: my machine is trying to init the network and it hangs. [02:29] ubuntu 10.04 [02:29] Ah [02:29] hey everyone how do I start/restart cups? [02:29] cause there is a program called lynx [02:29] scott__: .mozilla is a hidden directory in your home directory [02:29] ah [02:29] Peddy: install python-glade2 probably [02:29] ratcheer, I see, well, thank you very much for all your help :) [02:30] !cups | THE_GFR|WORK [02:30] artistxe: so you remover it completly with the package manager but is still there¿¿ [02:30] THE_GFR|WORK: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [02:30] I have to show hidden files [02:30] Peddy: s python|frep glade [02:30] I love having a powerline networking setup upstairs [02:30] Peddy: start with what jrib said [02:30] but I'd like to put it globally anyway [02:30] THE_GFR|WORK: might be useful [02:30] Anorion|T61, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1002096 [02:30] torment: so you think the machine does not boot because the network is not found? [02:30] ya well, i'm updating to ubuntu 10 and the grub-pc config ask me to select in wich drives should i install grub... [02:30] madkat: Yes, I have one, too. [02:30] torment: not highly likely. [02:30] So do I need to get NTLoadr or do I need to get rid of Grub? [02:31] sebsebseb: not helpful sometimes when I start the system I can see the printers most of the time I can't [02:31] scott__: Okay, here's what I do. Would you like to have flash active in Firefox too or do you not care? [02:31] I need to get a second one for my bedroom so my wifi issues are over [02:31] BlacKnight: the primary one [02:31] jrib, dabaR, that package is already installed. [02:31] INsaneMonkey02: you have already gottin rid of Grub, except for the tiny bit of it left on your hard disk MBR, and that's the problem [02:31] Also, does Ubuntu recognize etherhet if it is built into the motherboard? I've had problems with that in the past... [02:31] dabaR: I changed /etc/network/interfaces to change the MTU to 9000, now it hangs when trying to configure it... [02:31] Peddy: what are you trying to run? [02:31] INsaneMonkey02: to remove it from the MBR, you need something else to overwrite it, e.g. the windows boot loader [02:31] might as well I suppose [02:31] gah, firefox crashed again [02:31] Can I download the boot loader or...? [02:31] INsaneMonkey02: Master Boot Record, first section of the hard disk [02:31] Peddy: why do you want to import glade? [02:31] jrib: and the primary is the one that boot the system right? [02:31] torment: that's what you changed, and now it does not boot any more, and you think if you were able to change it it would boot again? Is that correct? [02:32] BlacKnight: exactly [02:32] WHat's the Master Boot Record? [02:32] INsaneMonkey02, if you have *any* bootupdisk of *any* windows version, you should be able to fix the mbr, by using fdisk/ mbr from a DOS promt. [02:32] !mbr [02:32] jrib: nice thanks :D [02:32] 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. [02:32] ok, I have internet now, why won't you download my wifi driver [02:32] Stereocaulon, I do not have access to the router to change it to those settings. It worked fine out of the box in 9.10, after a few weeks of waiting for a bugfix, anyway [02:32] INsaneMonkey02: maybe the reason you got rid of Ubuntu is really, since you found it rather differnet to Windows, if that's the case, there is a great manual a free PDF download, aimed at beginners [02:32] I don't. The only CD of any OS I have is Ubuntu [02:32] dabaR: yes [02:32] scott__: Want to PM me? This might get to be a lot of text for the channel. [02:32] sure [02:32] torment: do you have a live CD? [02:32] That's not the reason, I actually like Ubuntu more than Windows. [02:32] sebsebseb: thanks. finally. i hooked partner but it was the karmic partner repos. changed it in source.list and it works now [02:32] It's just I need more space for now and I'll put it back on later. [02:33] klawd: ok good :) === naum is now known as tehxed [02:33] jrib, I need to use gdk.pixbuf in this program [02:33] INsaneMonkey02: if you install Ubuntu again, or at least temporily, it will sort out Grub for you, and the default install will only take up about 1GB. and when it has sorted out Grub for you, Windows will boot as well [02:33] Anorion|T61, as far as I can see, none of the suggestions should impact your router, only your Eee Netbook. [02:33] now i only got to get rid of that ugly purple. :D [02:33] Hey, so I have these random side panels show up accidentally [02:33] is there any reasonably easy way to return ot 9.10 ? [02:33] but there's NOTHING there [02:33] INsaneMonkey02: that's the easiest way to do it without a Windows CD really [02:33] Also, does Ubuntu recognize etherhet if it is built into the motherboard? I've had problems with that in the past... [02:33] so it's just taking up screenspace [02:33] i'm in ubuntu 10.04 [02:34] Peddy: so...? It sounds like you're probably reading some old documentation anyway. It's gtk.glade that you want. I would recommend you visit #python and explain what you are trying to accomplish exactly [02:34] Ziber: I've never had Ubuntu not recognize an integrated NIC. [02:34] But what about when it said there were no other Operating Systems on my HD? [02:34] tehxed: and right click -> remove panel does not work? [02:34] I don't want it to overwrite Windows [02:34] /join #scalpel [02:34] /join #scalpel [02:34] hellyeah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:34] Ziber, if Ubuntu detects a builtin Ethernet or not depends on the make of the chipset providing ethernet functionality [02:34] INsaneMonkey02: Which version of WIndows? [02:34] my /home dir is maxed out at 2.8GB and my one user account /home/xman is maxing out too. i added 4GB to the parent partition and cleaned out some crap but the limits didn't budge: http://pastebin.com/teF0Y8hG [02:34] XP [02:34] jrib, I am using 'import gtk.glade', but I'll talk to #python. Thanks. [02:34] PhotoJim: alright, good. i've had it not in the past... but as long as it *should* work [02:34] I have a Belkin N Wireless USB Adapter model #FSD8053v4 that seems to be recognized in Ubuntu 10.04 but when prompted for network password, always prompts for password over and over even though correct password is being entered....any ideas? [02:34] Stereocaulon, that how-to says that the router encryption is set to "WPA_PSK_AUTO" the router I am trying to connect to is "WPA2_PSK_TKIP+AES" [02:35] lucus: the same adapter worked well in windows 7, using wpa2 encryption....thought it would work in ubuntu but no luck [02:35] INsaneMonkey02: one hard disk or two in there? [02:35] is the ubuntu music store live yet [02:35] towlie: yes [02:35] sebsebseb: I just have one Hardrive [02:35] I've tried both ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, after a fresh install, I get this error when I choose ubuntu from the grub menu: error: You must load kernel first [02:35] sebsebseb, how do i get to it ? [02:35] Ziber: it doesn't matter if it's integrated. most integrated NICs act as if they're PCI or PCI-Express, even though they aren't removable. [02:35] INsaneMonkey02, you can use: partition magic, acronis, or something like that...some of them have an option that can restore de MBR... [02:35] tdnicho: remove password, then reenter the same password into the router, then try again on the ubuntu [02:35] towlie: in Rythombox or you can install Banshee and an optional plug in [02:35] Ziber: so if the NIC is a chipset that Ubuntu supports, Ubuntu will find it. [02:35] Peddy: well then did you install stuff manually? Because python-glade2 provides gtk.glade [02:35] INsaneMonkey02: well if your Windows install is ok [02:35] PhotoJim: hope this one is supported then. [02:36] edh: How do I do that if I can't get into Windows? Is there a way to boot into Windows from Ubuntu? [02:36] INsaneMonkey02: Ubuntu should detect it no probelm [02:36] sebsebseb, i just want to browse the available music. do i have to use rhythym box for that ? [02:36] tdnicho: sorta sanity check the router side. remove password, connect that way, etc. I have a problem like that where I have to reboot whenever I switch networks, etc. [02:36] how so i reload to a previous installation of ubuntu [02:36] dabaR: thanks, I'll give it a try [02:36] Ziber: if not, you may need to load a module. it's the rare NIC indeed that isn't supported by Linux. [02:36] towlie: don't think so, I think you can go on the 7digital site [02:36] towlie: and do that [02:36] HOW can I get rid of the usplash screen in karmic? (a link to doco would be fine) [02:36] Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I added these side panels accidentally (by right clicking on the top gnome panel and clicking on "New Panel"). Now there is a side panel to the left of my screen. Rather, it's not there. Nothing is there. I just can't maximize the window to take up that part of the screen. So there might be something there but I want to get rid of this side panel. How do I go about doing that? [02:36] Anorion|T61, Ouch, yes that might present a problem...You might try the ntwrapper to see if that will give you the desired support, if you are desperate [02:36] jrib, that package was installed, but I reinstalled it and gtk.glade now works. Thanks. [02:36] Peddy: ok [02:36] My Thinkpad runs a lot hotter with Ubuntu 10.04 than with 9.10... [02:36] sebsebseb: I only deleted the partitions that weren't C: or D: [02:37] tehxed: you logged out and back in already? === log|in is now known as log|fail [02:37] INsaneMonkey02: how? [02:37] C: has Windows and D: has recovery partition [02:37] dabaR: I can try again? brb [02:37] INsaneMonkey02: ok you do have a recovery partition [02:37] I used a partition program...hold on I'll find the name [02:37] Stereocaulon, already did. it looks like the kernel module was not compiled with the necessary flags for WPA2 support. A recompiling I will go.... [02:37] INsaneMonkey02: that's instead of a CD, for re installing Windows [02:37] maco thanks that gave me function back. -- but I still want to have my resolution back to 1024 x 768 (now is 800x600) [02:37] INsaneMonkey02, you'll have to use a boot cd [02:37] INsaneMonkey02: they are pretty stupid, but if you know what to do, you could probably use that [02:37] sebsebseb: Good. How do I boot into it? [02:37] Anorion|T61, Good luck on the recompile :-) [02:37] It was always cool to the touch before. Now it is unpleasantly warm. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do about it... [02:37] INsaneMonkey02: don't know, but ##windows can probably help [02:38] sebsebseb, oh cool. the music is drm free mp3's right ? [02:38] * BlacKnight cant wait for lts lol 20 mins left [02:38] Highest preset resolution 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz - Dell e551 monitor -- but I am only getting 800x600 - was ok until yesterday's upgrade, 9.10 -- any tips? -- (I cant even change the iconsize because I cant get to the save button on the dialog) [02:38] towlie: yes and something about how 50% of the profit will go to saving the Lucid Lynx animal or something to a charity [02:38] Stereocaulon, not too big of a deal for me, since I'm a developer anyway, but it's pretty sad that this bug has been present in 3-4 releases in a row, now [02:38] how do i undo the installation of 10.04 from the terminal. Because i didnt get it to install properly [02:38] sebsebseb: Is there a way to boot into partitions from Ubuntu? [02:38] towlie: however the songs are expensive by the sounds of it [02:39] sebsebseb, do they embed the user account info like some other drm free music sites into the mp3 file? [02:39] INsaneMonkey02: no, but you can use the Live CD, to access your WIndows files, and any data [02:39] I've tried both ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, after a fresh install, I get this error when I choose ubuntu from the grub menu: error: You must load kernel first, I never had this problem before recently... [02:39] sebsebseb: How do I do that? [02:39] towlie: no I don't think so [02:39] sebsebseb, no 0.77 or 0.99 cents each [02:39] dabaR, I guess thirt time's the charm? The panel showed up this time and I just right clicked and removed the panel. [02:39] tehxed: I guess [02:39] Anorion|T61, I agree, but that is usually a combination of vendor support + driver developer devotion for that specific chipset... [02:39] INsaneMonkey02: stick Live CD, and access your Windows partition, not sure, but I think the manual for Lucid may even cover that [02:39] !manual | INsaneMonkey02 [02:39] INsaneMonkey02: 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/ [02:39] dabaR, while I have your attention, you wouldn't happen to know how to get the volume icon back on the top panel, would you? (third*) [02:40] INsaneMonkey02: stick in Live CD, above [02:40] Stereocaulon, quite possible :-) [02:40] sebsebseb: Is there actually a lucid lynx animal, or just a lynx animal? [02:40] update-rc.d what would I have to do to make that make cups start automatically if its not? [02:40] Anorion|T61, Eee PC's are wildly popular, so I'm a bit surprised that it is not fixed in this case. [02:40] dabaR: uh I guess I mean Lynx [02:40] yes the lynx is a mountain cat [02:40] Stereocaulon, me too. I was greatly looking forward to having this release fire right up and go [02:40] !soundicon [02:41] INsaneMonkey02, http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd maybe that can help you [02:41] can i show additional info about a specific package? [02:41] ciao a tutti [02:41] ciao davisote [02:41] dhrosa: I had that once back in Lucid Alpha. I reinstalled and it went away. haven't seen it, since. [02:41] Anorion|T61, It might even help if you post something on the blog of Mark Shuttleworth as he's claiming to have significant focus on Netbooks for the coming release...Maverick Meerkat [02:41] klawd: well software centre and synaptic show descriptons of packages, also you can do !man packagename [02:41] ho bisogno d'aiuto [02:42] klawd: or do I mean man packagename, in the terminal [02:42] klawd: additional? like apt-cache show packagename? [02:42] ratcheer, I've installed at least 5x today :/ [02:42] Stereocaulon, will do. [02:42] ok, thanks [02:42] !it | davisote [02:42] davisote: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

How do i delete the duplicates have tried the update grub command but that does not work [02:43] THE_GFR|WORK: Use bum, I told you earlier. [02:43] !grub2 | pretender2010 [02:43] pretender2010: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:43] sebsebseb: Well...I put in the CD and then the Compaq logo came up and I spammed F10 for Recovery Console and it did nothing [02:43] tehxed: you know, I saw someone answer that here a couple of days ago [02:43] dhrosa: Ouch! [02:43] There is something to install [02:43] Cause it says Recovery Console at the bottom [02:43] pretender2010, be very careful with that as Windows Vista, Win2008 Server and Win7 seem to have a double layered approach chaining to their own bootloader [02:43] INsaneMonkey02: I meant boot from the Ubuntu CD, into the live session, and then access your Windows partition [02:43] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04, without any luck :| [02:43] ok i can speak english [02:43] can anyone help me?

When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [02:44] dabaR, is there a way I can search for what the answer was? [02:44] tehxed: maybe indicator-sound [02:44] Instead of showing the installer when I boot it, it shows the purple background and a white square... [02:44] davisote, of course, just ask your question? [02:44] sebsebseb: Alright, well I'm in a live session now. The F10 part was from a few minutes ago [02:44] tehxed: search to see whether you have that installed [02:44] davisote: With what? [02:44] what is (+k) ?? [02:44] sebsebseb: And what do you mean access? [02:44] I can't figure out how to get it to install... [02:44] INsaneMonkey02: uh what are you trying to do? I thought you wanted to gain access to your Windows files? [02:45] davisote: what is the context of your questino? [02:45] sebsebseb: I wanted to boot into Windows [02:45] sebsebseb: any ideas? [02:45] dabaR, no dice [02:45] irc [02:45] sebsebseb: So I could fix the MBR [02:45] Electric|Master: ok now I could guide through install, but there is also a manual aimed at beginners that has been nicely done [02:45] Electric|Master, try using a lower graphics specification as kernel parameter from the boot menu [02:45] davisote: The IRC channel mode? Password-protected channel. [02:45] tehxed: what do you mean? [02:45] ubottu: modes | davisote [02:45] davisote: There are many different channel and user modes on !freenode. Here's a list: http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [02:45] yes [02:45] sebsebseb: It doesn't even show me the boot menu [02:45] Electric|Master: oh [02:45] Electric|Master: right ok [02:45] dabaR, searched for indicator-sound, did not find [02:45] what's the meaning of (+k) ??????

[02:46] sebsebseb: I wanted to boot into Windows from the Live Session from the LiveCD and fix the MBR [02:46] davisote, ask in #freenode [02:46] davisote: I just told you. It means the channel is password-protected. [02:46] sebsebseb: yeah [02:46] tehxed: it's in main [02:46] INsaneMonkey02: no you can't use the Ubuntu CD for that [02:46] ok [02:46] This sounds like "Who's on first?" [02:46] ubuntu [02:46] INsaneMonkey02: you need to either, install Grub like I was saying, by installing Ubuntu again, or asking ##windows about your recovery partition and how to use that [02:46] davisote: shouldn't you have asked that in #freenode? [02:46] good lord! they moved the close window setting over to left, how rude [02:46] tehxed: meaning, you must be able to find it, I think. Just aptitude search indicator-sound in a terminal [02:46] ubottu: controls | gh0zt [02:46] gh0zt: 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 [02:47] dabaR, I do believe I've found it... [02:47] sebsebseb: Is there a way to bypass the initial Grub prompt upon bootup and just go straight into Windows [02:47] the windows system reserved partition is on the 1st hard disk with ubuntu and then windows is installed on the second hard disk and when you select the second windows 7 entry pointing to the C: it does not boot windows. 1st wont pointing to system reserved partition boots windows 7 [02:47] just tried upgrading to lucid, and now my computer appears to be frozen during the boot splash, is there a way to see what error occured or something? [02:47] sebsebseb, is it not true that Ubuntu also has a way of restoring the bootsector from the copy that is left at the end of the drive? [02:47] peepsalot: you can try hitting escape [02:47] INsaneMonkey02: sure, if the Windows boot loader goes on there, but you can't just install that since no CD [02:47] peepsalot: that should remove the splash [02:47] sebsebseb, because that's exactly what fdisk/ mbr does. [02:47] so I feel like an old man since upgrading. I can no longer maintain a wirless connection [02:47] peepsalot: not really a thing that always helps a lot, tho. But maybe worth a shot [02:47] Hey guys, you probably get this a lot.. But are there any problems I should know about before upgrading to Lucid from Karmic? [02:48] dabaR, escape does not appear to do anything [02:48] Stereocaulon: oh that sounds familur [02:48] can anyone help me figure out why firefox tells me i have flash 9 installed, but synaptic says i have 10.x [02:48] dabaR, now what? [02:48] INsaneMonkey02: seems Stereocaulon has another idea, well i'll let him take over then [02:48] ... [02:48] So what do I do..? [02:48] chu_: Read the release notes. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [02:48] tvoet_: Because the wron plugin is linked in to your Firefox library. [02:48] tehxed: you found it? Install it :-) [02:48] tvoet_: you may have upgraded flash some how [02:48] tehxed: sudo aptitude install indicator-sound [02:48] I mean, "wrong" [02:49] Stereocaulon: have fun trying to help INsaneMonkey02 :D [02:49] tvoet_: the ine that snaptic installed is old but not being used by firefox [02:49] Hey guys, I just installed 10.04 and I am trying to get kde 4 installed. Before it was kubuntu package, but now I don't see it. How do I get KDE4? [02:49] dabaR, guessing it's time to log out and back in after installing? [02:49] Electric|Master: you can't install using the desktop CD? [02:49] Electric|Master: because you can not boot into it? [02:49] sanguisdex i'll check the firefox plugin folder [02:49] dabaR: I can boot into it [02:49] Stereocaulon: oh and do it in the channel [02:50] daharon: why dud you not just install kubuntu? [02:50] did* [02:50] tehxed: dunno. YOu don't have to log out and back in all the time, eh? [02:50] INsaneMonkey02, this just might work: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ [02:50] But it won't show the menu or anything [02:50] daharon: The "kubuntu-desktop" package installs a KDE4 Kubuntu desktop. kubuntu-kde4-desktop was removed a few releases ago.

[02:50] My keyring manager is a little messed up, it won't accept my password. How can I reset it? (Of course I still have my root password, but something's messed up with my regular user account Keyring). [02:50] Electric|Master: the one that offers to check CD integrity? [02:50] can someone help me troubleshoot, i can't boot after upgrading. it's frozen at the boot splash [02:50] dabaR: Probably [02:50] dabaR, that did not end up succesful [02:50] Hi, I've just upgraded to Lucid with the alternate CD, my wireless connection doesn't work anymore [02:50] But I can't get to the main menu [02:50] I've tried both ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, after a fresh install, I get this error when I choose ubuntu from the grub menu: error: You must load kernel first, I never had this problem before recently...

[02:51] sanguisdex the reason i'm looking is that since i upgraded to lucid, i've lost all sound from flash apps [02:51] dabaR: the one with all the options, with like install, CD check, live, [02:51] tehxed: oh, do you have a notification area in your panel? [02:51] juanca: is it that you can't maintain a wireless conection or you can't even see the networks? [02:51] tvoet_: Does your machine have multiple sound cards? [02:51] INsaneMonkey02, before you try anything on the page I linked you to, mind this warning and I quote: Be cautious here - you’re working with your disks in a very direct manner. If you don’t have everything backed up or are unsure of anything, you may want to wait until you have a standard Windows CD/DVD." [02:52] tehxed: never mind, that's not it [02:52] queso: You can't reset keyring passwords, you need to delete the keyring if you don't have a working password for it. You can do that with Applications -> Accessories -> Passwords and Encryption Keys -> Passwords tab -> right-click the keyring -> Delete [02:52] dabaR, no :( [02:52] Electric|Master: try another copy, or try the alternate install CD [02:52] Im having an issue where my sound isnt working at all, using the onboard sound from my mobo [02:52] dabaR: ok [02:52] gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. error what should i go anyone ? [02:52] ratcheer no, just an onboard one. [02:53] dabaR, I guess.. I've sort of solved the issue? I added the notification area and the volume icon showed up? [02:53] Did it? [02:53] tvoet_: Ok, I don't know, then. [02:53] It's confusing cause you are telling me, and then you have a ? at the end as if you are askin [02:53] sanguisdex: can't even see the networks i guess. The icon says the "wired" connection is.. not connected, but I don't know how to change to "wireless" [02:53] nmudgal: what gives you that error? [02:54] dabaR, My mistake. It did show up. I'm just trying to figure out how to get my logitech usb desktop mic working [02:54] Zas0120: do you have a sound icon in the top? [02:54] dabaR: while trying to set up ppa to install pidgin [02:54] dabaR, Thank you for your help and I most definitely appreciate your patience. [02:54] man im awesome? [02:54] * ejv chuckles [02:54] juanca: ok sorry I don't know what up with yours I am having a simaler problem [02:54] sebsebseb, I managed to help this andriucha1982 guy from some hours ago. He had never used a terminal, but in 4 hours of help he had just installed his first driver manually... [02:54] tehxed: That's what I'm here for. You're welcome. What app are you using to check whether the microphone works? [02:55] seems the usb dongle wont connect [02:55] !ppa [02:55] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [02:55] this the right place to come for Karmic Ubuntu help? [02:55] dabaR, I was just checking the recorder that comes pre-installed [02:55] nmudgal: Any particular reason you're trying to use a PPA instead of just installing pidgin from the repositories? [02:55] hi, anyone knows how i can devide which monitor is the main one when using dual monitors_ [02:55] Fretta: yes [02:55] dabaR, it's a Logitech desktop USB mic http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam_communications/microphones/devices/221 [02:55] Fretta: sure [02:55] bahadunn, does the USB dongle show up in lsusb? [02:55] switch10 k cool [02:55] Stereocaulon: well the guy just now it said left, and yeah give newbies enough time, and some of them will learn quite quickly actsualley [02:55] gcc is not included in the default install?..... [02:55] dabaR: me on backtrack 4 /ubuntu 8.10 so outdated repos rww [02:55] Stereocaulon: yeah [02:56] list [02:56] Anorion|T61: not installed by default, correct [02:56] ratcheer thanks :) [02:56] does virtualbox.com work on lucid. i gotta run win apps for work,,, or can i convert my revelation passwords over to this seahorse password manager [02:56] Hello all. If anybody is available to help me please let me know. Right now I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and when I upgrade to try to get to 10.04 it all goes down hill. [02:56] can someone that uses usb storage drives to please paste for me on pastebin what your fstab looks like? THANKS [02:56] nmudgal: Backtrack isn't supported by this channel. Try #backtrack-linux [02:56] I'm willing to do whatever I need to do for this machine to be able to run 10.04 [02:56] nmudgal: where are you trying to get the backported version from? [02:56] jrib, that's not very useful when you're trying to rebuild the kernel so you can get it online [02:56] justin2: try a fresh install? [02:56] Stereocaulon: I done that before, spent a few hours or so, trying to help people, or well yeah helping them [02:56] doobiean: I have not been able to get it to work [02:56] bahadunn, did you try to compare the dmesg output from the 9.10 LiveCD with your current dmesg? that might give some clues [02:56] daBar: yes i do [02:56] rww: Great, thank you for your help [02:57] Anorion|T61: build-essential should be on the cd (at least it was a few releases ago) [02:57] Well, I can't get the live CD to run. [02:57] !ask | justin2 [02:57] justin2: 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. :-) [02:57] dabaR: from pidgin server ! to install it only [02:57] justin2: A clean install is probably your best bet. Make a good backup of your old stuff, first. [02:57] Stereocaulon: I don thave a 9.10 live cd [02:57] That is why I went back to an older version that would boot the live CD [02:57] justin2: what error are you getting when you upgrade? [02:57] sebsebseb, I remember a certain session qith you and me trying to get my soundcard workiing again... [02:57] nmudgal: what's the command you are running? [02:57] rww: Wait, under the Passwords tab there is no keyring -- it only says "Passwords: login" [02:57] I've just upgraded to 10.04 and my wireless connection doesn't work anymore [02:57] doobiean, I am actually using Ubuntu 10.04 in virtualbox right now [02:58] Zas0120: and did you try to see inside there whether something is muted? [02:58] Stereocaulon: are you sure it was me, probably not, since sound isn't really my area [02:58] sebsebseb, Please excuse my terrible spelling. I must be almost sleeping on my keyboard by now... [02:58] juanca: are you on a netbook? [02:58] Stereocaulon: in fact, when have I ever tried to help someone get a sound card working properly [02:58] queso: That's a keyring, the program just labels them weirdly. [02:58] dabaR: apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8 [02:58] lmnopqrs: laptop, hp [02:58] rww: Ahh, okay, so I'll delete that. Thanks again for your help [02:59] Stereocaulon: yep I don't do sound issues, may give a bot factoid for it, but that's basically it [02:59] sebsebseb, I might mistake you for someone else, as I am terrible with names. I remember all faces, but that doesn't exactly help on IRC channels, now does it? :-P [02:59] nmudgal: are you following a howto? [02:59] I've just upgraded to 10.04 and my wireless connection doesn't work anymore [02:59] can someone that uses usb storage drives to please paste for me on pastebin what your fstab looks like? THANKS [02:59] daBar: yes i have nothing is shown muted [02:59] dabaR: yes yes [02:59] texed, are you using the one out of the repository? [02:59] juanca: is your wireless sensing networks? [02:59] Xgates: just plug them in, they will get mounted [02:59] Stereocaulon: oh yeah and I may tell people about a distro, where they can easilly disable pulseaudio, without issues, something that can't just be done in Ubuntu [02:59] tehxed: can you try to google for microphone make+model+ubuntu? Then give me a link that you like. [02:59] I just upgraded to 10.04 and the computer takes forever to go into lock/screensaver. Nvidia gfx [02:59] tehxed: if there is anything [03:00] lmnopqrs: how do I know that? [03:00] what is the command find out my graphics card [03:00] nmudgal: which one? [03:00] sebsebseb, you've got me curious there, but that's slightly offtopic n'est-ce pas? [03:00] dabaR, I'm doing this now. Just reading a bit now. Thanks again [03:00] dabaR: http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ [03:00] nathan406: you can try lspci and lshw [03:00] juanca: if you click on your wifi symbol, does it see your network, and you just can't login to it, or do you not see any networks at all [03:00] jrib: I did a custom install of Ubuntu with only LXDE installed, so no they don't get automounted I need to do some hacking that's why I asked [03:00] thanx [03:00] Stereocaulon: yes we are a bit off topic, but pm if you want [03:00] Alright, I have a green light in the hardware drivers for my Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver, but in network manager I get "Device not ready" [03:01] WTF, i can't even boot a livecd CD now [03:01] madkat: Which card do you have? [03:01] * qwm sighs [03:01] !language | peepsalot [03:01] peepsalot: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:01] lmnopqrs: I don't see any networks at all. The icon says the "wired" connection is off.. But I don't know how to change to "wireless" [03:01] Xgates: that's relevant information, yes. Why don't you want to use a daemon to mount them automatically? Are these drives always going to be connected? [03:01] anyone know about my screensaver problem? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [03:02] juanca: only thing i have to suggest is, try installing packages "bcmwl-kernel-source" and "patch". i had to do this with my hp netbook for a similar problem [03:02] jrib: don't you have to have the blkids in fstab for them to automount? [03:02] I don't know what wifi card its using, either Wmp300n or WMP54GS [03:02] Xgates: no... [03:02] I've tried both ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, after a fresh install, I get this error when I choose ubuntu from the grub menu: error: You must load kernel first, there is nothing "non-standard" about my PC, except for perhaps the existing windows XP install [03:02] ubuntu has always worked for me before [03:02] madkat: run "lspci" in the terminal, copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/, link the page it creates here [03:02] ok [03:03] jrib: what daemon is automounting them? [03:03] give me a minute - rebooting for my graphics driver [03:03] Xgates: in gnome, it's gnome-volume-manager [03:03] Screensaver takes about 30 seconds to lock [03:03] dabaR ^ === scott__ is now known as aule [03:03] jrib: well that takes care of that, hehe, I only have LXDE installed [03:03] nmudgal: what, the link to the howto? [03:03] lmnopqrs: i did it for the 9.04... but now that I've upgraded from the alternate CD it doesn't work anymore... I've tried unistalling bcmwl-kernel-source, but it didn't work... therefore I don't have bcmwl-kernel-source in synaptic anymore [03:03] Xgates: you aren't answering my questions === aule is now known as Narya [03:03] dabaR: yes you asked for it ! [03:04] jrib: sorry what questions? [03:04] Xgates: Why don't you want to use a daemon to mount them automatically? Are these drives always going to be connected? [03:04] juanca: i did it for 9.04 too but it screwed up again for me with 10.04. you can download the packages from packages.ubuntu.com, put them on a flash drive and move them to your laptop [03:04] i chose to boot from CD, and somehow it's falling back to my hard drive, which has a broken ubuntu install on it. how is this possible [03:04] LOL nevermind, reboot worked! [03:04] !settings [03:04] madkat: awesome :) [03:04] Does anyone know if I can map the "Show Desktop" function to a mouse button? [03:04] i can't get anything to boot any more , not even a freaking rescue CD [03:05] whats the thing about putting stuff on the right instead of the left? [03:05] pokeh: sure, learn about xbindkeys and wmctrl [03:05] jrib: yeah sure daemon is cool, but then I don't want to have any gnome installed either that's why I'm running LXDE, I'm just talking about using a portable usb drive or flash drive from time to time, plugging in is all... [03:05] nmudgal: I know, I am looking into it still :-P [03:05] Screensaver takes 30 seconds to load [03:05] Xgates: if you don't want to have to type a command to mount them, use some sort of daemon. You can use gnome-volume-manager or halevt for example [03:05] jrib: care to point me in the right direction? [03:06] pokeh: I thought I just did :/ [03:06] dabaR: that how to is correct someone else just tried too but don't know why not working form :-/ [03:06] worst upgrade ever [03:06] how do I put the close/min/max back on the right? I like them over there [03:06] !controls | Narya [03:06] Narya: 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 [03:06] What the hell.. this whas a enormous channel :-D [03:06] thank you [03:06] oops, forget to put "upgrade" in quotes [03:07] pokeh: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts, scroll down to the "Window Management" section and edit the "Hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop" setting. Defaults to Ctrl-Alt-D. [03:07] lmnopqrs:there's no bcmwl-kernel-source under "network", where should i look for it? [03:07] peepsalot: this channel is for ubuntu support [03:07] Screensaver takes about 30 seconds to load, anyone know how to fix that? [03:07] nmudgal: can you show the exact output on pastebin?

[03:07] beautiful [03:07] rww: Yeah :P [03:07] jrib, i've asked for support [03:07] Narya: get with the times! [03:08] I want some ubuntu-girl support [03:08] I have asked for support too [03:08] Several times [03:08] !patience [03:08] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [03:08] how can i make all processes open show up in the bottom bar not just the ones on the current workspace [03:08] peepsalot: the last couple of comments I've seen just seem to be sarcastic quips, take that elsewhere please [03:08] juanca: i don't know what you mean by "under network", try searching for it at packages.ubuntu.com under "Search package directories" [03:08] mernilio: What do you mean by "ubuntu-girl support"? [03:08] dabaR, sorry when you've done something one way for 20 years [03:08] hello [03:08] Guest99465: what do you mean it takes 30 seconds for the screensaver to load? [03:08] juanca: distribution lucid [03:08] changing it is going to be resisted [03:08] dabaR here is http://paste.ubuntu.com/426179/ [03:08] Narya: get with the times.... [03:09] Well, there is a very very long fade out where framerate just dies [03:09] rseeber: right-click the applet, click preferences, change the relevant setting in the preferences window [03:09] also: how do I make my laptop default to wired instead of wireless? [03:09] respire: ^^^ [03:09] rseeber: sorry, mistab [03:09] How do I change the location of the profile folder for firefox? [03:09] ubuntu tweak doesnt rreally work for clearing kernels [03:09] I tried the installing without the cD, and it said I need the i383 version. Will ubuntu 32 bit version work? [03:10] ... * i686 [03:10] Narya: do you have a network icon in the top on the panel? [03:10] rww: well, i know im good oraly, but i have just had creds from one girl in that respect. I dont know if ur a girl, but do you think a wide ... i dont think i should go on.. :-) [03:10] yeah, but it's only letting me choose wireless or VPN [03:10] Screw it. [03:10] nmudgal: remove the slash from the command you are running. [03:10] and my basement is anti wireless so I want to use the wired connection [03:10] I'm having an issue with my laptop - when running Ubuntu my pc is extremely slow. I can't play a mp3 and do anything else or the sound stutters. If I do manage to run another program it just crawls after taking a long time to open [03:10] dabaR: done still same error [03:10] mernilio: I don't know what you're on about, but I suspect it's off-topic for this channel. [03:10] nmudgal: show me again on pastebin, please. [03:10] mernilio, please stop [03:11] hi [03:11] rww: mm.. way off topic :-) [03:11] lmnopqrs: Ok, thank you, I have it, now how do I use it? [03:11] jrib, sorry, this is just the most frustrating thing to not be able to even boot a rescue cd. i can't get anywhere now [03:11] do I have to manually add the new network wired connection? [03:11] is i686 32 bit? [03:11] juanca: your ubuntu system should recognize it as a gdebi file, just double click on it [03:11] Ziber: yes [03:11] because one isnt listed for some reason [03:11] thanks :) [03:11] Ziber, yes [03:11] dabaR: http://paste.ubuntu.com/426181/ [03:11] juanca: you may also need to get the package "patch" [03:11] Narya: and if you right click, is there an option to check for wired? [03:11] peepsalot: I understand, just take it easy, focus on providing details (in a single line) about your problem. That's the best way to get help [03:12] how do i display timestamps in xchat?

[03:13] is there someoe knows how to use scalpel [03:13] juanca: same place, just replace "bcmwl-kernel-source" with "patch".

[03:20] need help with a wireless issue [03:20] but the damned thing isnt showing in fdisk [03:20] also, tried to format in windows [03:20] wb4whd, sorry - i don't know then, i know there is a graphics issue with intel [03:20] i get the usual unable to format error [03:20] gparted doesnt even see the drive [03:20] darkstone, what error does this give you: sudo fdisk /dev/sdd [03:20] can anyone help in this http://paste.ubuntu.com/426181/ [03:20] nmudgal: are you running this as root? [03:20] I did a live upgrade from 9.10 rebooted and ran fine all day yesterday, shut down PC today to clean with compressed air [03:21] Narya: fer sure [03:21] then system wouldn't boot 10.04 anymore, not even the live cd [03:21] dabaR: yes [03:21] xangua, what does that ppa get me? [03:21] had to go back to 9.10 [03:21] xangua, and where do i find it [03:21] flan_suse: unable to open /dev/sdd [03:21] you mean sdc? [03:21] darkstone, no, /dev/sdd, because /dev/sdc is the Ubuntu LiveUSB? [03:21] yeah [03:21] nmudgal: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [03:21] rseeber: for installing the latest xorg and card drivers https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers [03:22] fixed [03:22] right, no sdd then [03:22] rww: I told you ubuntu 8.10 [03:22] * dabaR curses at his network connection [03:22] what is the default mail program in 10.04?

[03:22] gah [03:22] yes it is [03:22] darkstone, okay, you can try one thing, but first MAKE SURE the problematic USB stick is in fact /dev/sdd [03:22] this firefox probelm is getting really annoying [03:22] just for some reason you have to make own shortcut [03:22] In Lucid, I have gnome-do as docky and oriented to the bottom, where there's also a panel. Clicking on the panel puts it on top of gnome-do. Clicking gnome-do puts it on top of the panel. Any way to permanently make sure gnome-do overrides the panel? [03:22] darkstone, unplug the stick and do this again: dmesg | tail [03:23] darkstone, and see what dynamic ID it is given. [03:23] in rhythmbox how best should i add music on another computer to my library? [03:23] ok [03:23] so I upgraded and now evolution is gone and thunderbird is in it;s place [03:23] weird [03:23] rseeber: if it doesn't work you can safetly remove them and go back to the previos version with: sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa [03:23] nmudgal: 8.10 reached End of Life on the 30th and is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported distribution. [03:23] evolution is there just make a shortcut [03:23] anyone help with a wireless issue?

[03:23] nmudgal: Besides, you told me "Backtrack 4", which as I said is not supported anyway in this channel. [03:23] Andorin: why not remove the panel¿ you can use docky theme instead [03:24] yeah, it's there too [03:24] xangua, will that automatically revert back to the standard xorg drivers? [03:24] my bad [03:24] nmudgal: Then why are you here? [03:24] xangua, so you think xorg is my issue? [03:24] flan_suse: yes [03:24] will this command work with lynx : grep "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wii.sceners.linux/wiithon-1.1/ubuntu karmic main" /etc/apt/sources.list || echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wii.sceners.linux/wiithon-1.1/ubuntu karmic main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1F882273 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wiithon && sudo gpasswd -a $USER disk [03:24] xangua, because xorg-edgers broke two different laptops I tried it on.

Every time, the terminal shows up in my taskbar and will cover other stuff for some silly reason.

[03:58] IdleOne: no, I meant, does that mean anything to him, or do I need to explain in detail [03:58] IdleOne, dabaR, well I have disabled the xorg-edgers PPA, but that doesn't seem to have removed the unsupported packages, if I look in that file now (/etc/apt/sources.list) I can see them in there commented out [03:58] tehxed: it's gone, but you can manually create one [03:58] I followed the steps for a CD-less install, but during the install process, it still asks me for a CD to install... I'm confused. Did I miss a step? http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [03:58] flan_suse: seems to be a dead drive [03:58] fatal error [03:58] then one, i got the result, what do i do then? download as text? [03:58] I've tried both ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, after a fresh install, I get this error when I choose ubuntu from the grub menu: error: You must load kernel first, there is nothing "non-standard" about my PC, except for perhaps the existing windows XP install [03:58] how might I go about finding a mentor?

QQ I wanted to adjust the resolution to a widescreen one. I don't know how to do that by creating a manual one! [03:59] johnofwax very funny [03:59] darkstone, not even with dd_rescue, dang.

[03:59] hnsr: maybe you did the same thing with a different tool. but you have to refresh your local cache after changing sources. That's the way to propagate changes [03:59] well if the people working on the updates had to answer questions like that every 5 minutes, there'd never be an update. [03:59] Hey Guys, i'm trying to dcc with Konversation... Don't know why it doesnt work on Ubuntu [03:59] darkstone, sorry. I hope you didn't have valueable data on there. [03:59] melanie: wrongo ne [03:59] millertimek1a2m3: for what? [03:59] flan_suse: not at all, im smart enough to make backups [04:00] i just found this stick in my drawer last night [04:00] sebsebseb, yea... I guess. I mean, it's not always fun having to learn all everything by myself. sometimes I want someone that I can always count on that will teach me and guide me on some issues [04:00] any good screen recorders i tried kdenlive but i dont see a record option for it [04:00] I think I have my issue fixed.

Did I miss a step? http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html [04:00] thought i'd give a go at repairing the filesystem [04:00] moderndayzero: recordmydesktop [04:00] thanks for you help anyway :) [04:00] your* [04:00] dabaR, hmm I'm not sure, but 'aptitude update' doesn't do a lot other than listing some package sources and then printing 'Reading package lists... Done" before exiting [04:00] is that in synapics? [04:00] moderndayzero: yes [04:00] works on 10.4? [04:01] darkstone, no problem. [04:01] Jordan_U, I fixed it! [04:01] moderndayzero: recorditnow for KDE [04:01] darkstone, at least we narrowed it down a lot. [04:01] how do you enable wireless from the command line?

[04:02] sebsebseb, no, I'm much more experienced than that [04:02] Jordan_U, I had to install the boot loader on sda [04:02] that fixed it [04:02] millertimek1a2m3: well this manual is great, it has a lot of info in it, but yeah contents page. good reading, and good screen shots, aimed at beginners [04:02] Can I change the stripe-width of a file system on a raid array when it's unmounted safely (with respect to my data)?

[04:04] my vnstat isnt updating in 10.04 [04:04] <_pg_> hello all. im getting a "no whitelist driver found error. " whenever i try to enable ecomorph in E17 on Ubuntu , I found the patch here: http://code.google.com/p/itask-module/issues/detail?id=125 but I cannot figure out how to maker it work. I made it excecuatable and got the following output when i try to run it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/426193/. Do I need to put it somewhere special before I run it? Thanks for any help! [04:04] torment how do you enable wireless from cli? [04:04] sebsebseb, well, I've taught myself how to program in C++ and I've been using Ubuntu for 3 years. I also know bash, and I frequently find myself having to explore some of the things that could have been given to me by someone with more experience for hours. And yes, i know just about everything is out ther eon the net... but I would like someone to be a little more personal and less boring than a manual. [04:04] voss: edit /etc/network/interfaces [04:04] dabaR, I'm not afraid of breaking stuff btw, i have everything backed up and if i can't get the upgrade to work I'll do a complete reinstall anyway [04:04] Why can you no longer map super to the Win keys? [04:04] <^paradox^> using ubuntu 8.04 lts for a couple more months. if wanna update say for instance gimp which is a little behind how can i do so? [04:05] millertimek1a2m3: well there are some pretty great people on this network, some of which will probably do what you want, but good luck trying to find them [04:05] ok i reposted the output of sudo apt-get install patch to the forum here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468927 [04:05] is there a way to reset gnome to the default settings? ive messed up my menubars really bad and i would like to start over [04:05] sebsebseb, yea I get you [04:05] my vnstat isnt updating in 10.04, can someone please help me get this working [04:05] <_pg_> snowhouse, yes. i dont know the command though [04:05] sebsebseb, what I frequently find about the people on the net, is that they are impatient with complete beginners. they want to deal with fundamental questions, not syntax problems [04:06] torment lets try another question how do you directly purge an nvidia driver that wont respond to a remove command even with a force flag [04:06] snowhouse: rm -rf ~/.gnome* [04:06] Torment: glad it worked out [04:06] will that delete any data other than theme settings ? [04:06] jrib: in /etc/groups what groups do I need to belong to for usb automount to work? [04:06] hnsr: are you saying aptitude update did not fix this? [04:06] xtremeshredder: what version of ubuntu and why are you running as root? [04:06] sebsebseb, I'm looking to converse with someone with experience. [04:06] snowhouse, there is a much cleaner way then Torment suggests [04:06] hnsr: I thnk you can make a paste of the sources.list, and of the output of sudo aptitude update [04:06] dabaR, it still doesn't let me upgrade no :( [04:06] version 10.04, and should i not be running as root? [04:07] hnsr: and the exact error message of the upgrade attempt [04:07] millertimek1a2m3: fundamental questions? if I knew how to actsaully program, then yes I would probably help people with that. Just like I know how to use Ubuntu and pretty well for basics, so I help people with that here and such. [04:07] yes? [04:07] hnsr: that will probably allow us to fix it [04:07] dabaR, ok will do, give me a few minutes though [04:07] what is it? [04:07] I'm trying to install ubuntu server on an old computer, whose CD drive is broken... I'm following the steps on http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html but it still checks the CD... can I avoid this step somehow? [04:07] <^paradox^> so how would i go about doing that? [04:07] how can i install the all available plugins of chromium browser only. Dont need other packages to upgrade? [04:07] sebsebseb, ok, that's cool man [04:07] snowhouse: that will reset your gnome settings [04:07] !root | xtremeshredder [04:07] xtremeshredder: 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 [04:07] snowhouse, you can use the gconf-editor to rearrange the window widgets and put them back at the right side [04:07] sebsebseb, do you want to get acquainted [04:08] thats not what im worried about, i did want to reset the gnome settings [04:08] boot error, udevd[379]: can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/z80_user.rules' , does uny one know why that file is empthy [04:08] !sex | ravenkhan [04:08] ravenkhan, please see my private message [04:08] millertimek1a2m3: I know some people who program and such on the net, but the two I am thinking of right now, are quite busy in their actsual lives at the moment. [04:08] so i should just be using just the command itself, just sudo, and not as root??? [04:08] how can i install the all available plugins of chromium browser only. Dont need other packages to upgrade? [04:09] sebsebseb, I get you [04:09] voss: your trying to rmmod ? [04:09] xtremeshredder: I don't know how or why you have a root account in Ubuntu. but yes use sudo [04:09] darmok and jalad at tanagra [04:09] um that didnt do anything?

[04:24] ^paradox^: the repos for your version will have the package that is installed on your system. Look in System > Administration > Software sources under the updates tab click on backports. that might have a updated version of gimp, it might not [04:25] pretender2010, go in to the applications menu, go to graphics and simple scan [04:25] ravenkhan: no, chromium doens't spy you and neither has EULA [04:25] im having a problem with my lappy and 10.04. whe i close the lid and resume, i dont get a login screen and when i reboot networking is disabled... any ideas? [04:25] xangua: so which is better u suggest?

[04:30] Ghosty: ls ~/Desktop | grep -i rail [04:30] dabaR, well, I've been programming for a while now, like since a little before August of last year [04:30] Ghosty: try cd /some/directory and then grep -r rail [04:30] Ghosty: try cd /some/directory and then grep -r rail * (that is) [04:30] dabaR, I would call that beginner [04:30] i deleted ubuntu :( [04:30] I mean it's a polite command line... Doesn't seem like there's anything wrong. just need the desktop up [04:30] dabaR, join me on offtopic?

[04:34] ^paradox^: the way Ubuntu does it is it only does security updates and major bug fixes after release. [04:34] xangua: I do not, I would prefer to use VLC to play streaming media as default from firefox. Is this possible? [04:34] can anyone tell about this http://pastebin.com/Bjdi2wEW [04:34] ^paradox^: so the version you have is current unless missing some major updated feature. that is why I suggested enabling the backports [04:35] is gwibber messing up for anyone else beside me? [04:35] Answered own question. Apparently 10.04 doesn't have a desktop :\ needs installed. I mean, wow.

[04:35] addakorn: you may wanna try mozplugger [04:35] ozzallos: 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' or xubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop etc. [04:36] also when I right-clicked on the file I changed it to vlc and that seemed to take affectr [04:36] hypetech: I had it working on 9.10.... now it won't set up int 10.04... I delete the account... then I click on the mail Icon... then it recreates the account [04:36] <^paradox^> IdleOne: i understand that securitys an issue, but it comes at the cost of being three steps behind? yes and when one sets up a ppa or goes another route for updates theyre penalized by not being able to upgrade their distribution or things break [04:36] ozzallos: if you installed the server version, yeah there is no GUI [04:36] any alternative to nm-applet except wifi-radar for connecting to wifi? Thanks [04:36] would you partition up a 500 GB hard drive or just let it do / ? [04:36] hypetech : does that also uninstall whatever you had before that ... [04:36] right-click -> properties -> open with then I changed that to vlc as the default [04:36] http://pastebin.com/Bjdi2wEW please help [04:36] I was just surprised. Assuming I install it, will it boot to the desktop from that point on or will it always be a command line thing? [04:37] ^paradox^: that is no a penalty that is an intended behavior to ensure that your upgrade goes as smooth as possible, if there are third party repos Ubuntu can't garanty how those packages will behave [04:37] ozzallos: Um, Ubuntu Server ships with no GUI, correct. If you set it up as a Desktop system instead, you'll get a GUI. [04:37] http://pastebin.com/Bjdi2wEW please help [04:37] i upgraded to Lucid, and now my computer freezes at GDM.

[04:45] ravenkhan: that's not sources.list, but basically the ppa.launchpad lines need to be commented out. [04:45] Izinucs, wait, you want 8.4 to 10.4? that isn't available yet it's in testing [04:45] ^paradox^: good idea :) [04:45] ravenkhan: are yyou trying to upgrade?

Suggestions? [04:50] _rahul_G_: 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 [04:50] hwilde_: It's not my primary install .. so really just a test of upgrade manager.

[04:59] it existed for me and i had to edit it - and he point is it is a module so it might not pick up the kernel boot param - worth a try anyway [04:59] numlock is most likely a bios setting [05:00] options i915 modeset=0, as the only line [05:00] <_rahul_G_> hypetech: Thanks. I'd have a look. [05:00] Random832: what's the full line again [05:00] What is "Wubi"? :S [05:00] oh [05:00] amabo: !wubi [05:00] wubi runs ubuntu inside windows [05:00] also, grep i915 * in that directory to make sure it's not set somewhere els [05:00] amabo: never mind, type [05:00] type [05:00] typo [05:00] jimtuv: I don't understand the point of that :P [05:00] Slix`: You can install Ubuntu as a windows application and get instant dual boot [05:00] just that file i created [05:00] Is it like a VM? [05:00] * dabaR stabs the keyboard [05:00] !wubi [05:00] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

[05:01] * dabaR considers sleep [05:01] Blargh. Okay. [05:01] Slix`: better to use virtualbox if you want to test in windows [05:01] there's no "www" folder located in /var dabaR [05:01] namely, it's more fragile in terms of if you don't shut down cleanly, and it's impossible to hibernate [05:01] amabo: tell me again what you need?

[05:02] flanque: lspci - if it still doesn't work, see if you can ssh into it, it'd be helpful to get dmesg info or anything [05:02] Flannel, lspcia [05:02] Can anyone tell me what the default X display is? I thought it was something like 0:0 but `metacity --display=0:0` doesn't work.

[05:03] amabo, do 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate index.htm' and you can find it [05:03] amabo: what server? ssh? web? samba? [05:03] Fraxtil2: should be 0:0 like you said [05:03] why can't netbooks and other computers be bought from shop.ubuntu.com or shop.canonical.com? [05:03] anybody here having SIS 771/671 card? [05:03] studentSF: logically it would be because they don't have a partnership with a manufacturer [05:03] studentSF: cause they don't sell them?

[05:04] because it seems that places to buy linux netbooks are hard to find after the MS assault [05:04] studentSF: there was a company something 76 or something like that [05:04] That was Ubuntu oriented [05:04] although I know X is still running, because Ctrl+Alt+F7 still brings up my windows, just without any borders [05:04] hypetech: well yeah but _almost_ every computer ever made has a windows ta [05:04] studentSF: any netbook is a linux netbook [05:04] tax [05:04] on amazon, all linux netbooks are "currently unavailable" [05:04] dabaR, i think its system 76??? [05:05] http://www.system76.com/ [05:05] hypetech: so... you _are_ aware that you pay about a hundred bucks for that copy of windows you don't use when you buy a laptop to install linux on, right? [05:05] at newegg, all linux netbooks are "out of stock" [05:05] yeah its the Intel 855GM [05:05] i dont want to pay MS [05:05] period [05:05] meh [05:05] amabo: to display web content in apache? if http://localhost doesn't work try http://127.0.0.1 .. if that does work then you need to edit the hosts file and add "localhost [05:05] and it didnt fix it [05:05] i would like to buy something with ubuntu on it [05:05] buy used [05:05] :P [05:05] it's a serious percentage of the cost; just dismissing it as "any netbook is a linux netbook" is kind of a crap attitude to take [05:05] studentSF: http://www.system76.com/ [05:05] if money is going into the OS, i would like it to go to canonical [05:06] amabo: try localhost:631 and see if you get the cup server [05:06] studentSF: dunno what that does for you,. [05:06] can't establish a connection at 127.0.0.1 [05:06] studentSF: try with dell [05:06] amabo: install apache2 [05:06] i got cups though [05:06] I have 8.04 and currently my flash plugin install is broken. [05:06] amabo, have you checkes if apache is installed [05:06] supporting a product i like versus paying for something i dont like? [05:06] amabo: then you don't have apache installed.. do sudo tasksel and choose lamp [05:06] that does a lot for me === marisa is now known as risa212 [05:06] amabo: Common Unix Printing Server === ryaxnb__ is now known as ryaxnb [05:07] there are other SMEs that also sell notebooks/netbooks with diferent linux distros [05:07] I have attempted using aptitude: install, remove, install, purge, install.

[05:07] Nevermind, got it to work eventually (keyboard wasn't working, but thankfully "metacity --replace" was still in the clipboard so I managed to "hack" gnome-terminal to run that command.

[05:08] Random832: it's gotta be the darn intel gfx [05:09] try 'sudo aptitude reinstall adobe-flashplugin' ? if you haven't done that [05:09] amabo: enter to install.. that installs a web server (apache) and php and mysql.. when you do a http://localhost without a port number the default port is 80 which is a web server [05:09] ravenkhan1, clearly no one here does. here is a quick link to the ubuntu forums on your video card. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=958967 [05:10] Random832: seems like it's cofnriemd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9209294 [05:10] Hi people , i wanted some help regarding passwords [05:10] Izinucs: i pressed enter but didn't get anything back [05:10] Has anyone had any luck getting a Logitech G25 Wheel to work correctly under 10.04 [05:10] !sis | lzinucs [05:10] Izinucs: sorry - no localhost is being hosted [05:11] amabo: tab to highlight the "OK" at the bottom of the screen then enter [05:11] mohawkboi: seems a lot of stuff is broken in 10.04 [05:11] Izinucs: there we go - thanks! [05:11] hypetech: I have tried that now and it doesn't work. [05:12] hypetech: keeps asking me to install the plugin. [05:12] just now i noticed, there is no vlume icon in the notification are aof the panel. But it used to be there before upgrading to lucid 10.04 from 9.10! [05:12] are you using firefox? [05:12] flanque Yeah. It has taken me ages to get my bluetooth to work.I just need to get the Force Feedback to work. In previous versions you had to patch the kernel and I can't find any info for this releease but it is meant to work properly. [05:12] how to bring bakc the volume icon? [05:12] hypetech: doesn't matter. I have both firefox and seamonkey. [05:12] Where in the settings can I move the close/minimize/maximize buttons are located? [05:12] I have automatic login enabled for ubuntu but even after my desktop shows it again asks for my password [05:13] SIS cards sucks [05:13] yep [05:13] c2d2: what happens if you just try to install the plugin in firefox from adobe's site directly instead of using the repo? [05:13] obscurant1st the vol icon is part of the indicator applet [05:13] hypetech: says not available plugin. [05:13] c2d2: that's odd... [05:13] jai, so what can i do? [05:13] :o [05:14] lzinucs : are you there? [05:14] jai...you have log in as automatically selected in the login preferences?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:14] and select add to panel [05:14] hypetech: I was going to attempt some flash dev months ago. That install corrupted this whole mess. I haven't figured out how to purge it.

I'm trying to get grub2 to boot (Debian Squeeze) from my fakeraid. It seems the Ubuntu crowd has been able to do this since at least 9.10, but I'm having issues. Has anyone gotten this to work? [05:14] Random832: hmm........ i guess no xorg.conf might break things [05:15] But there is a catch [05:15] vasez if you right click on the desktop and go change background then chose a different theme some have right drop down buttons and some on the left [05:15] could someone point me to that ubuntu newbie guide, I know there's a trigger for it here [05:15] i got a problem with the video player, if i play the wonder years the audio doesnt sound like audio [05:15] its totally missing from the system! [05:15] hypetech: I'd purge my firefox and seamonkey installs if I thought for one second that would fix it. [05:15] it wont show as volume icon [05:15] hmm - i've got a 915GM, so that issue doesn't apply to that [05:15] jimtuv: Thank you [05:15] choose indicator applet [05:15] that's kinda weird. That works for me. [05:15] Izinucs: now...where can I find that "It works!" html page? [05:15] well, by default it automatically configures itself [05:15] I've just set up Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, and Bluetooth is started whenever I power the machine on. Can I stop it from automatically turning on, or disable it semi-permanently? I rarely ever use BT. [05:16] SIS cards sucks [05:16] c2d2: if you go to tools > addons in firefox do you still see shockwave flash in the list? [05:16] i agree [05:16] you might be able to edit the failsafe conf to give you a better resolution at least [05:16] mtughan: system > preferences > startup applications, uncheck bluetooth [05:16] hypetech: no. [05:16] ravenkhan1, they dont seem to be well supported. [05:17] why steve jobs is now ubuntu standard?

[05:19] aperson: right click it and remove from panel [05:19] crap. freaking mousekeys is now wonky. [05:19] i installed darmok on ubuntu, but i got a problem to enable jalad, error in module tanagra [05:19] MTughan: not sure, it worked for my inspiron [05:19] hypetech, that would remove the whole indicator-applet [05:19] ravenkhan1, sorry man. I dont know what to do for any video card other than nvidia. [05:19] Jacen: up to date? thats not an issue [05:20] hypetech: Should there be an item just for BT support? I just have BT Manager. [05:20] aperson: are you just not wanting to use gwibber then? [05:20] Joelito: have you already installed restricted-extras¿ [05:20] hypetech: flash does not show anywhere under tools. Extensions or plugins. [05:20] Startup Disk Creator makes, for example, a USB stick that is also able to install Ubuntu to a computer?

I'm running Nvidia too [05:20] xangua yep [05:21] c2d2: can you choose apt ubuntu 9.04+ from the dropdown here? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP [05:21] hypetech, there is an envelope in my indicator applet that is essentially just taking up space [05:21] haha maxxist, you live in the south too? [05:21] Someone can help me [05:21] Joelito: then you should be able to [05:21] ?

[05:22] elvis4526: you could just configure compiz to do less [05:22] Elvis4526 you can turn off compiz. I don't use it as I need lots of speed for 3d modeling [05:23] Startup Disk Creator makes, for example, a USB stick that is also able to install Ubuntu to a computer? [05:23] ravenkhan1, are you on a desktop or laptop? [05:23] maxxist: laptop [05:23] ewww [05:23] hypetech, I did that , and its even slow [05:23] elvis4526: launch "gconf-editor"; go to apps/metacity/general and enable compositing-manager [05:23] elvis4526: yeah it's got to have. it's just not that fuzzy as compiz, but it's got certainly [05:23] xangua, It will have minimal effect of transparency ? :P [05:23] does anyone know of the beginner's guide PDF? I know its a ! trigger but can't remember what it was, someone gave it to me earlier I just forgot to save it [05:23] anyone have an intel gma 4500m ? [05:23] You'd have to tear that thing apart ravenkhan1 [05:23] Jacen: not possible? [05:23] ravenkhan1, you could buy a new system. hehe. sorry. keep at it. you may find a way to get SIS working. I am sure there is someone somewhere who got it working. [05:23] running ubuntu 10.04 ? [05:23] !newbie [05:24] possible...but not easy [05:24] !newbie [05:24] !new [05:24] documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [05:24] that one? [05:24] iup [05:24] maxxist: laptop dont support chip change? [05:24] ravenkhan1, no. [05:24] it was actually a link to a PDF document i believe [05:24] Izinucs: now, even the non-free shows as if no plugin is installed in firefox. [05:24] Thanks for the wonderful conversations and thoughts Keep the community strong! [05:24] i think you could buy it too if you wanted but I think it was available online as a PDF === gh0zt is now known as gh0zt_afk [05:25] elvis4526: no transparency [05:25] Startup Disk Creator makes, for example, a USB stick that is also able to install Ubuntu to a computer?

[05:25] I'm absolutely new to Linux and I want to get to know the OS with the same level of familiarity I do with Windows [05:25] elvis4526: maybe if your theme has rgba enable [05:25] I have the NVIDIA geforce GTS 360m [05:25] hypetech: no problem, thanks for the help though [05:25] maxxist: can you tell me how can i make a startup disk ? [05:25] i just activate it [05:26] xangua, and it does nothing special [05:26] why doesnt ubuntu have an irc client by default? [05:26] ravenkhan1, what kind of startup disk. [05:26] ? [05:26] lucid is so fast in live mode [05:26] maxxist: ubuntu [05:26] maxxist: 10.04 [05:26] papul|lucid: isn't xchat on there by default?

[05:27] hypetech: There is no xchat on my Lucid. [05:27] hoe fast is ubuntu default install boot? [05:27] hypetech: I can choose 9.04+ but... I am 8.04 and it gives an error for the 9.04+ [05:27] *how [05:27] maxxist: last time i followed one tutorial and ended up with my disk become unreadble [05:27] Empathy is an IRC client [05:27] jeff1010_: if you're doing that via the file manager that can sometimes happen.. much easier using terminal if you know the commands. [05:27] c2d2: oh didn't know you were running 8 [05:27] i too wish ubuntu had xchat pre install. [05:27] Izinucs: thanks, the information should still be the same even though I'm running 10.04? [05:27] Will ubuntu run on a commodore 64? :D [05:27] jimtuv: i cant find that option in empathy [05:28] no [05:28] c2d2: what happens when you choose 8.04's deb file then [05:28] ravenkhan1, check ubuntu forums. generally good tutorials in there. [05:28] c2d2: then click the agree and isntall now [05:28] maybe on a 128 [05:28] how fast is ubuntu default install boot? [05:28] you set up an IRC account go to account then add choose IRC [05:28] ubuntu will run on a C64, but you have to write a emulator ffor it [05:28] Izinucs: I'm using a terminal, doing rsync -av.. cp -rp did the same thing. it's locking up xchat as well, entire screen darkens and I can't do anything but keyboard keys are queued up [05:28] adriankeith: mostly.. you'll know when you try something and it doesn't work.. but most likely that won't happen until you really dive into the system.. .. there's a pretty steep learning curve but if you're open to it it's fun. [05:28] hey everyone... I've got a question regarding 10.04 and XFCE. anyone messed with it yet? [05:28] papul|lucid: depends on the machine, but it's less than 10 seconds on my shitty mobile processor [05:28] default ff install.

[05:29] EvaZq: no [05:29] adriankeith: what type of testing? that's pretty broad [05:29] I tried running BT4 but I was just completely overwhelmed with the amount of tools everything on there. [05:29] but it can be compiled ? [05:29] hypetech: it said it was through other channel and suggested using it. I have installed and haven't checked functionality just yet. [05:30] i want to try to make it faster [05:30] papul|lucid: it will be nearly instant boot [05:30] :D [05:30] hypetech: anything from troubleshooting to security testing [05:30] Startup Disk Creator makes, for example, a USB stick that is also able to install Ubuntu to a computer?

I only have LXDE installed in a custom install of Lucid, been wondering if there was anything for a GUI besides using the CLI for apt [05:31] empathy requires user password at startup how can i give it permanent permission [05:31] xangua: no >.< [05:31] is no-one else having real problems with firefox stability on ununtu 10.4? [05:31] xangua: is there? [05:31] hmm is there anything i should know about 10.04 and the new 32 nm i3/i5's? [05:31] hypetech: thanks, I've read about nmap but have yet to actually use it. I'll start there [05:31] how can i change the terminal color to blue or other ? [05:31] ravenkhan1: no [05:31] xangua: i heard no [05:31] witout change the letter colors [05:31] theres no way to upgrade from the normal cd? [05:31] disk copy = sporadic gnome hangs [05:32] Xgates: from cli you can use aptitude [05:32] xangua: then why antivirus? [05:32] daurnimator: no, you need the alternate [05:32] Xgates: the ubuntu software center in lucid works [05:32] can I at least point the do-release-upgrade script to the sources on the cd?

[05:33] Izinucs as I was saying looking for a lightweight gui and hypetech that's probably gnome based, I only have LXDE installed, I want to keep the OS light weight [05:33] empathy requires user password at startup how can i give it permanent permission so that it doesent bug me any more [05:33] wubi is a looplinux install. [05:33] wubi takes a disk performance hit, but you can uninstall it via windows add/remove programs [05:33] looplinux ? [05:33] and how i choose between operative systems ? [05:34] Xgates: you have limited options.. not sure what xubuntu uses but I suspect synaptic.. [05:34] EvaZq: enough of the windows kernel has to load to handle the NTFS or whatever filesystem to load your wubi from its file. [05:34] bjdooks, im having firefox problems [05:34] daurnimator: There's hardly any packages on the regular desktop cd. [05:34] Jai check here to learn how to register your nick and set up a password http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [05:34] apt-get remove moonlight-plugin-mozilla [05:34] seems to have fixed it [05:34] Izinucs: yeah xubuntu uses synaptic I've used it before [05:34] was your problem that javascript wasnt working?

[05:35] geirha: wtf is on it then [05:35] nah i dont have that problem [05:35] !xubuntu > skwerlmaster [05:35] skwerlmaster, please see my private message [05:35] like doing 'firefox http://news.bbc.co.uk/' would barely bring a window up [05:35] jeff1010_: just press print screen [05:35] i just dont get any content when i go to facebook, and other similar sites [05:35] before firefox segfaulted [05:35] daurnimator: The live system, and some driver packages. When you install from it, the installer copies files from the live system rather than install packages. [05:36] jeff1010_: or go into accessories [05:36] Maneater: just use google chrome instead [05:36] regarding the netbook remix: I have an eeepc, but I want the normal interface etc, should I still install the remix or just normal ubuntu [05:36] daurnimator: There's no room for both [05:36] maneater: firefox is bloatware for my opinion [05:36] i installed Midori [05:36] which works nicely [05:36] Then choose add then IRC and Freenode.com as network. Put your nick in and your password your real name and any sign off you want and hit add you should be in business [05:36] ravenkhan1: shift prt screen works thx [05:36] yeah but i like noscript [05:36] yeah meowdori works fine, webkit [05:36] anyone know any other lightweight cd/dvd burn apps like Xfburn? [05:36] xangua: I tried installing Xubuntu 10.04, and couldn't get any sound out of either my on-board chipset or my card... so I went with Ubuntu 10.04, and noticed that there isn't a package for XFCE base in the repos there [05:36] jeff1010_: in my case simply prnt screen works dear [05:37] jeff1010_: u on which OS? [05:37] how might I go about completely purging firefox and any and all plugins so that I might reinstall them and restore my flash to proper working order? [05:37] actually gnome greys out my windows, typing doesnt register and i cant take a screenshot.. meh i'm going to go back to windows 7 as much as i dont like that [05:37] ravenkhan1, 10.04 [05:37] lunchtime [05:37] brunchtime [05:37] daurnimator: I'd go with the netbook version, but either should work. [05:37] jimtuv : well i am on xchat and kinda new to IRC i dont see add anywhere [05:37] jeff1010_: ok. is it working fine? [05:37] skwerlmaster: 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' [05:38] I suspect some lib file has been replace and is causing all my problems. [05:38] who invented ubuntu? [05:38] jeff1010: tried kubuntu? [05:38] ravenkhan1, no, it's sporadically locking up all gnome apps. [05:38] daurnimator: The netbook version has an option in the preferences to toggle between the netbook view and classic view [05:38] geirha: either work; but the UNR site goes on about atom optmizations [05:38] hypetech: thanks, will do. do you think it'll break my sound? that was why I couldn't use xubuntu in the first place. =\ [05:38] jeff1010_: i myself rolled back to 9.10. I didnt like 10.04 [05:38] jeff1010 or even mint or other 'buntu derivatives? [05:38] I was having flash trouble with firefox and found out I had two versions of flash installed. I went to /home/user/.mozzilla/plugins and renamed the flash and that solved it [05:38] ==> will I still have thoseoptmizations in normal ubuntu, or can I enable them somehow? [05:39] skwerlmaster: honestly I don't know, it should just give you the option to load XFCE at the login screen, it won't remove gnome. I can't imagine that it would remove your working sound drivers [05:39] I need help! Ubuntu 8.10. won't connect directly to my modem, but will connect to a router? [05:39] hypetech: sweet. thanks a lot- much appreciated [05:39] Hello everyone. I seem to be having a problem with enabling desktop effects. I installed the Nvidia drivers but am still unable to get desktop effects working. Any suggestions? [05:39] ..while i am doing a large 10gb or so copy from one partition to another on the same disk [05:40] westinghouse: asking who invented ubuntu is like asking who invented the Kia vehicle. there was one person who invented the basic idea, then different people made different versions of that initial idea [05:40] see.. it locks up and i can only get 1 message per 2 or so minutes into this channel [05:40] jeff1010_: maybe it's a bad disk [05:40] daurnimator: Should be just a matter of installing the right packages. [05:40] ylynfatt did it give an error message? [05:41] I've tried both ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, after a fresh install, I get this error when I choose ubuntu from the grub menu: error: You must load kernel first, there is nothing "non-standard" about my PC, except for perhaps the existing windows XP install [05:41] jimtuv: all it said was "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [05:41] jimtuv: oh and when I run glxinfo it says "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [05:42] ylynfatt: have desktop effects worked for you before? [05:42] if you go to system >> administration >> hardware drivers whats listed?? [05:42] hypetech: the laptop is 2 months old and I've had no problems until an hour ago, no bad disk errors in the logs === slide23 is now known as slide [05:42] acerimmer: yes it worked in the early alphas of 10.04 [05:42] i'm thinking something is up with the new 32nm i3/i5 intels, they have funky cpu scaling/integrated GPU [05:43] jimtuv: I have Nvidia accelerated drivers for version 173 and version current. With version current enabled. [05:43] jeff1010_: I've copied a few hundred gigs from partitions, shares, and devices since I installed this yesterday without any issue so far, I don't think it's ubuntu specific [05:43] Thats what I have as well [05:43] ylynfatt: not sure but I seem to recall that nvidia JUST released new drivers. Suggest you ensure you're using most updated drivers and try again [05:43] hypetech, it could be fs-related, are you using ext4? [05:43] jeff1010_: yes [05:44] can i install using qemu to an nfs mounted partition? [05:44] hypetech, do you have a 32nm i3/i5? [05:44] jeff1010_: my ubuntu install itself is on a single partition though, I didn't make a seperate partition for /home [05:44] jeff1010_: no, mobile pentium [05:44] acerimmer: I assume I'm running the latest nvidia drivers. As I've run 'sudo apt-get update' and 'upgrade' today and didn't get anything new. [05:45] acerimmer: and I reinstalled the drivers today as well. [05:45] ylynfatt: The new driver is not in the repository, yet. [05:45] Say, what's the trick to making a USB flash drive with Ubuntu latest on it? I used the startup disk creator and the resulting flash drive install tried to boot, but couldn't find itself. [05:45] hypetech, hmm.. well my copying is done and now it's not locking up. so that triggered the problem hmm [05:46] ratcheer: any idea when they will be? Or is there a way for me to test it now? [05:46] ratcheer: is new driver availabe at nvidia site? [05:46] hmm [05:47] ylynfatt: Probably a few days. I don't recommend a manual install in Lucid. What nvidia card are you using? [05:47] jeff1010_: were you running torrents or anything else that would have had heavy disk i/o? [05:47] acerimmer: Yes - 195.36.24 [05:47] hypetech, no.. i basically just installed it and had nothing else running. [05:47] jeff1010_: strang [05:47] e [05:48] ylynfatt: perhaps you've still got previous config files? I think those would be hidden files in your /home. Anyone with better info please correct me [05:48] ratcheer: I have Quadro FX 360M [05:48] ylynfatt 173.14.25 is the current drivers [05:48] hypetech, i'm doing tests on the fs now to see if it's disk related or perhaps ntfs/ext4 related [05:48] jimtuv: I'm actually running 195.36.15 [05:48] ylynfatt: Good, that is not one of the new cards that the new driver adds support for. [05:48] what card do you have?? [05:49] jimtuv: Quadro FX 360M [05:49] is there any known issues for intell wifi? I can connect to my AP but can't resolve anything and can't ping anything. I'm working on my Sprint 3G card right now. [05:49] intel [05:49] empathy asks for password after i login, how can i give it permanent access [05:50] Well I just noticed my divers are old so I am off to try a install of the new one [05:50] good luck jimtu [05:50] i just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and my application window borders are all gone, anybody experience that? how do i fix it? [05:50] and by login i mean login into ubuntu 10.04 [05:50] quizme: metacity --replace [05:50] ratcheer: do the new drivers have a changelog available [05:50] xangua thanks, what was that ? [05:50] thanks acerimmer I will need all the luck I can get [05:50] blackjack2121, in network settings try setting your aircard to the google dns server. That's 8.8.8.8 [05:50] Hello - since updating to ubuntu 10.04, whenever the screen blanks, I need to enter my password to log back in. Can I disable that? [05:51] ylynfatt: Probably. I haven't looked that closely. [05:51] how can it be that... I have 3 files that I can't remove as root? [05:51] how do i re-enable compiz fusion ? [05:51] SuperRoach, go to system, preferences, screensaver [05:51] SuperRoach: chekc your screensaver settings [05:51] SuperRoach: system > preferences > screensaver, untick the box that says password blahblahblah or w/e [05:51] quizme : compiz -replace [05:51] ratcheer: I guess I'll just have to wait on the update then and hope it helps. [05:51] root@C2D2:~# for a in `locate flash | grep plugin | grep mozilla`; do rm $a; done [05:51] rm: cannot remove `/etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin': No such file or directory [05:51] Say, what's the trick to making a USB flash drive with Ubuntu latest on it? I used the startup disk creator and the resulting flash drive install tried to boot, but couldn't find itself. [05:52] rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so': No such file or directory [05:52] what's the standard ip to access a routher configuration? [05:52] isaac_: I tried manually setting to google dns to see if it was a dns issue, but that didn't fix it. I also can't ping by IP. But I connect to the AP just fine. This broke when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 beta (about 8 days pre-release) [05:52] Tamnakz: generally either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 [05:52] ylynfatt: I'm late to this conversation. What prob are you having? [05:52] Tamnakz: depends on the router. [05:52] tamnakz: depends on the router. [05:52] isaaac_ did u configure the bios [05:52] blackjack2121 - weird. I'm stumped. [05:52] isaaac_: did u configure the bios [05:53] ratcheer: Desktop effects not enabled [05:53] is help site dowqn getting 593 [05:53] Tamnakz: 192.168.0.1 or 1.1 or 0.254 or 1.254 and rarely either 2.1 or 2.254 [05:53] isaac: CAN your box even boot from USB?? [05:53] jai_mani, this computer has booted from USB for a long time. It actually tried to boot, Ubuntu splash screen and all, but when it tried to find the kernel it got lost. [05:53] Why does Lucid insist on locking the screen on suspend/hibernate? [05:53] Thats wired [05:54] ylynfatt: I was on the driver test team for Lucid. I don't recall anyone having that problem. [05:54] is lucid related to the sky with diamonds? [05:54] gettuibg 503 err on ever help paqge [05:54] xangua: ok, I have the alternate cd now [05:54] jmspeex, go to system, preferences, screensaver [05:54] I tired doing sudo ./cdromupgrade [05:54] ratcheer: I keep getting 'Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"' when I check glxinfo [05:54] isaac_: didn't work. It only applies to the screensaver, not suspend/hibernate [05:54] thanks guys [05:54] isaac_: I had to go through gconf-editor to change it -- not particularly user-friendly [05:54] jmspeex: are you talking about it being locked when it recovers? [05:54] how do i make it so that compiz --replace runs when i login ? [05:54] it started, but failed with: Failed to add the CD: ubable to locate any package files, prehaps this is not an ubuntu disc" [05:55] It starts to boot, then spits out a very long row of /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: no medium found [05:55] hypetech: yes [05:56] jmspeex: It's just like that so people don't pick up your laptop and turn it back on to an open desktop. I'm not aware of a way to change that other than maybe setting up the auto login [05:56] ylynfatt: Sorry, no idea. [05:56] How do i give permanent access to empathy [05:56] ubuntu 10.04 simple scan Unable to connect to scanner as a normal user only works as root. [05:56] ratcheer: okay, thanks for trying. I appreciate you taking the time to try and assist. [05:57] hypetech: Well, the power-manager config *used* to have the option. I just don't understand why it got removed [05:57] anyone out there running lucid on a MacBookPro? just curious about multitouch support. at least two finger scrolling.... [05:57] yooo [05:57] On the other hand, going through the standard install process, selecting the flash drive as the destination (and being VERY careful to hit Advanced and specify GRUB installs to the flash drive in the last step) works like a charm. Bootable flash drive of Ubuntu, with all the programs I want to install. [05:57] Someone somewhere seems to think that less options in the preferences means more user friendly -- even when it means having to use gconf-editor. [05:57] I recently installed a lot of new updates and now my audio isn't working. [05:57] anyone know why the alternate cd won't work? [05:58] so, when I copy from ntfs to ext4, it locks up. When I copy from ext4 to ext4 it locks up. When I cat /dev/sda7 >/dev/null, the partition housing ext4, it doesn't lock up. This is a new laptop and i dont see disk errors, so it looks like ext4 is hosed. i didnt trust ext4 from the start honestly [05:58] jmspeex repeat to yourself "This is free. It does not cost me anything. I will be happy." over and over again. :) [05:58] daurnimator: check/match 32 or 64 bit versions? [05:58] acerimmer: ah, of course [05:58] * daurnimator idiots [05:58] i'm going to run gparted and convert ext4 to ext3 [05:59] ps, is there anyway to change from 32bit to 64bit? [05:59] jeff1010_; yeah ext3 is really stable [05:59] love it [05:59] Oh well. I'm headin for my beddin. Night y'all. At least normal install to a flash drive works. [05:59] daurnimator: don't think so... [05:59] jeff1010_: some hitachi hdds dont take kindly the ext4's extents feature [05:59] nisstyre65, agreed, i've used ext3 for years, ext4 scares me [06:00] I just don't need the features ext4 has over ext3 [06:00] isaac_: So I understand from what you're saying that "we are not interested in comments, feature requests, and bug reports", correct? [06:00] when i clicked 'ext4' on the install i knew i was taking a risk but that's life [06:00] ext4 can be slower than ext3 for some usage patterns [06:01] quizme: go to System > Prefrences > Startup application [06:03] quizma : click add/quit [06:04] jai_mani: thanks jai, you da man. [06:04] Wassup [06:04] Hey There need help in C programming [06:05] wrong channel [06:05] HaCkOr_Aneesh: ##c [06:05] hack0r_aneesh: go to the #c channel === shazbotmcnasty is now known as shazbotmcmurder [06:05] bye bye hackOr [06:06] Hey anybody knows some hacking channels [06:07] I smell a troll. [06:07] heh [06:07] hey anybody using 10.4 ? [06:07] HaCkOr_Aneesh: ##C is probably what you're looking for if you're hacking in C [06:07] for certain values of "hack" [06:07] yes 10.4 its nice [06:07] Would it be "sane" to update mono, or you think that will break stuffs :S [06:07] ? [06:07] hey i am trying to install 10.4 however the installer looks wierd http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5046/84960058.png [06:08] I just installed a lot of new updates and now the audio isn't working. [06:08] is there any way i can fix it so the installer is readable? [06:08] Any advice? [06:08] running xubuntu lucid:: any tweaks for my low resource machine? [06:08] * c2d2 reboots [06:08] someone know about how to configure venet0:0 card ? [06:09] hi [06:09] hello [06:09] xamp82: running xfce should be about as tweaked as you need :p [06:09] if i upgade what about installed programmes? [06:09] friends [06:09] friends, whats that? [06:10] i need more speed! [06:10] ifi upgrade what about installed programmes [06:10] my 10.04 system is not stable, could a shared irq be the cause? IRQ 19: 14587 IO-APIC-fasteoi Ensoniq AudioPCI, nvidia [06:10] chitti: if you upgrade via do-release-upgrade from 9 to 10, the programs will update as well [06:10] chitti: PlayonLinux is a wonderful tool [06:10] botanic: shut down other apps [06:10] acerimmer: that is a kvm [06:10] there is nothing else running on that server [06:10] its not a vitrual machine [06:11] anyone running lubuntu? [06:11] Didn't recognize it, i'm on vbox. [06:11] hmm my problem is i have installed java from sudo command and i am ypgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 .what about this programmes [06:11] xamp82, off topic. and I love xfce. but lubuntu runs LXDE and is going to be even lighter on resources. 10.04 version should be done soon. [06:11] xamp82; ubuntu with lxde? [06:11] the kvm driver might just not want to display that properly, you may need a dedicated monitor for the install [06:11] botanic; might wish to try the alternate install method [06:11] lubuntu is exciting for me. I will wait until 10.04 final is done. [06:11] where can i get the installer? [06:12] im using 10.4 server [06:12] maxxist; you could just get vanilla ubuntu and strip everything related to gnome [06:12] I did it with linux mint and installed xfce [06:13] yes. I mean lxde and xfce. I use their generic names because people are more familiar with them [06:13] botanic: [06:13] Hey guys when I install a bunch of debs from a folder simply by cd /folder and then sudo dpkg -i *.deb, it installs them all without a hitch. But when I want to remove a folder full of packages, what would I type? I know that any of them that were needed for other program dependencies would not be removed which is good so things dont break. Is this possible without manually naming each package on the same line? [06:13] Hi [06:13] So has anyone noticed poor performance in general in Lucid after upgrading from Karmic? I have a lower-end (ahem, legacy) laptop that was running smooth as silk under Karmic. Relatively clean Karmic install with only a few non-default packages installed. Upgraded to Lucid last night via update manager, and now the machine is practically unusable due to the lag from even basic actions (moving and resizing windows, typing into text box [06:13] es, etc). [06:13] nisstyre65, that might be a good idea too. [06:13] acerimmer: ? [06:13] botanic: whttp://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [06:14] I think I destroyed my grub boot loader when doing an upgrade [06:14] LinuxGuy2009; rm -R /directory [06:14] can I fix it with a live cd ? [06:14] nisstyre65: I dont want to delete files thats not the same. [06:14] do a fresh install from karmic to lucid. better performance [06:14] lsemple: easy to do. DON'T reinstall until you check all the grub fix solutions [06:14] acerimmer: there is no alternate for ubuntu server [06:14] LinuxGuy2009; what do you want to do then? [06:14] just desktop [06:14] How do I switch my system from vista 64bit to unbuntu? [06:14] when doing the upgrade, a screen appeared asking me "install device", I checked off sda1 and hit ok. then I saw a few error messages [06:15] probably should have left that sda1 part blank === agnel-away is now known as buntu [06:15] there was check boxes beside sda, sda1, sda2 [06:15] xamp82: My thought as well. I knew it was ill-advised to upgrade as opposed to doing a clean install, but...jeez. Is this typical with upgrade installs? [06:15] botanic: true. make sure you have the right version; 32 or 64. Even though my dell laptop is 64, it won't run, so i'm dloading 32 as I type. [06:15] LinuxGuy2009; I don't know if apt-get has the capability to take a bunch of .debs and remove the programs from your system [06:15] Deborah: just backup all your files to an external drive or CDs or something, then reformat and install Ubuntu :) [06:15] acerimmer: 32 bit isnt an option :( [06:15] deborah: you can just download the ubuntu iso image and install [06:16] nisstyre65: dpkg -i *.deb installs a bunch of debs. What command can I run with dpkg or something to uninstall the packages from the system just as fast without having to manually name them like sudo dpkg -r package1 package2 package3 etc? [06:16] i have 24gb of ram in the server === buntu is now known as mebuntu [06:16] deborah: why not just dual boot for now. === mebuntu is now known as agnel [06:16] deborah: you could also install ubuntu as a wubi "windows" application. [06:16] ejwaxx: that was my suggestion because that is what Ive heard too : ) [06:16] dsfsf [06:16] LinuxGuy2009; use the same regular expression (*.deb) you used with the original command [06:17] botanic: sorry, don't know what else to suggest. [06:17] can ubuntu communicate with windows programs? also, can ubuntu work on programs that say only windows? [06:17] nisstyre65: that doesnt work. [06:17] Deborah yep use wine [06:17] Deborah, you have two solutions, virtualize Windows, or use WINE [06:17] awesome ty [06:17] deborah: yes, but why would you wish to. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:17] nisstyre65: You cant specify file names, only packages installed it seems. Maybe there is another way I dont know yet Im hoping. [06:18] LinuxGuy2009; apt-get [06:18] nisstyre65: Any idea what the command would look like? [06:18] anyone dual boot ubuntu and windows 7? [06:18] LinuxGuy2009; you could write a bash script to take all of the filenames in a directory of .deb files and individually remove each of them : ) [06:18] hi, how would i solve problems related to hibernation in lucid, i have hibernation working in karmic but doesn't work in lucid.. [06:18] xamp82: I do at work with wubi [06:18] xamp82, i have on a friends computer. [06:18] xamp82: windows/osx/ubuntstudio [06:19] xamp: I don't anymore, but I did before my 7 RC started auto-shutting down [06:19] nisstyre65: thats actually not a bad idea. I could just have it make a list of the packages in the folder and remove all info except the package name. Maybe ill try that. Thank you. [06:19] ordered a netbook and Id like to play around with W7 but I really like Ubuntu. [06:20] xamp82: does it come with windows 7 "starter"? [06:20] hi,, i'm new to this community... i want to contribute to ubuntu .. [06:20] yes. [06:20] xamp: what w7 version does it come with? my sister's netbook came with the starter edition, and "play around with" isn't something you can do with it === snuffy is now known as snuphy [06:20] dhilip welcome [06:20] 10.04 is awesome :P [06:20] I am about 20 minutes away from dual booting my macbookpro with lucid and snow leopard. I hope i get it right. [06:20] @acerimmer [06:20] xamp82: tried Kubuntu 10.04? Looks and acts a bit like windows sort of. Even has the drag windows to the sides of the screen for split screen use like in the commercial. hehe [06:20] dhilip, what ideas do you have? [06:21] ejwaxx: what did you think of w7 starter? that is what it is coming with [06:21] mmm, I'm using the alternate install cd [06:21] I did the cdromupgrade [06:21] acerimmer: [06:21] acerimmer: how do I repair the grub from a live cd ? [06:21] xamp82: your locked to the theme it came with, and it can only run 30 streams (programs) at once... i highly recommend replacing it.. [06:21] and said no to "want to use a network connection" [06:21] LinuxGuy2009: `dpkg-deb -f [deb file] package` will return the package name for a specified deb file, with some script-fu, that should work for you. [06:21] actually as my first step i want to work in bug clearance.. [06:21] but its still downloading it [06:21] does anyone know how to change back from yahoo to google in firefox 3.6.3 [06:21] !grub2 | lsemple [06:21] lsemple: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

[06:24] can i upgrade the to 10.04 through terminal [06:24] acerimmer, hehe. its all good. i was just wondering if you are using bootcamp. I guess not.. [06:24] geekyogi, try asking in ##windows [06:24] geekyogi: msft publishes a downloadable usb creator tool. [06:24] jb12: sudo do-release-upgrade [06:24] xangua, the 3rd paragraph mentions how to change nothing worked [06:24] jb12: i recommend a fresh install. to lucid [06:24] i can try anything [06:25] bastid_raZor: morning [06:25] have problems installing from disk [06:25] acerimmer i need a package tat i could install on linux [06:25] geekphreak: monring [06:25] i'm new to this so i have to learn lot..

[06:25] I could use some help sharing a printer and folders between Karmic and XP plz [06:25] jb12: listen to bastid : ) [06:25] geekyogi; you might be S.O.L.

[06:26] lsemple: Next time choose "sda", installing to a partition requires blocklists, which are unreliable. In fact you should run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" once you are booting again select only sda (the setting is used any time there is a grub update).

[06:28] !hello | nick__ [06:28] nick__: 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! [06:28] ..with 10.4 [06:28] nick__: please ask [06:28] i am trying to install 10.04 [06:28] nick__: Any time. [06:28] nick__: Anytime, just aska away so anyone can answer [06:28] but i lose video signal during the install [06:29] ubottu, scroll up :) trying to get files and printer shared across the network [06:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:29] after the ubuntu sign [06:29] I upgraded to 10.04 and now it's not booting (even in rescue mode). I think the problem is that before upgrading, while trying to make space I used the Computer Janitor and removed two nvidia-something packages as it told me to. I didn't upgrade right then and I was able to use (and reboot) the old version after that. But since I upgraded it's not booting [06:29] jeff1010_: ise brasero [06:29] under Hardy I could add an NTFS drive to my fstab and have it load with the system. Under Lucid I get an underpriviledged user error, and when I follow the instructions on the site, I get "Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure". Anyone know a workaround? [06:29] i use* [06:29] So how do I get help [06:29] nick: use the alternate install .iso - it's text based. [06:29] geekphreak, ooh pretty thx [06:29] my flash is wonky. [06:29] Audio: ask your questions [06:29] geekphreak : hello [06:29] well, i think it has something to do with my video card [06:29] dhilip: hello [06:30] bastid_raZor, how long does it take..its stuck on Calculating changes.. [06:30] nick__ : nick: use the alternate install .iso - it's text based. [06:30] what does that mean [06:30] tell me how to work with the bug issues [06:30] Wau; not booting or not starting x? [06:30] I tried this: "http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-broken-ubuntu-feisty-fawn.html" but that's giving error too [06:30] Everytime I try and install the new ubuntu when I press enter it goes to the ubuntu logo and freeze after about 5 secounds [06:30] jb12: it is calculating.. give it time. after it calculates you will be prompted to continue.. [06:30] yeah, same here [06:30] nick__ it means get get the 'alternate' installer from the ubuntu website. [06:30] nick: go back to the ubuntu site and download the "alternate" install *.iso [06:30] Wau: I had that problem for the last two days with 2 NVidia cards in my system. is that the case for you? [06:31] nisstyre65, : Not booting. It's getting stuck at one stage. Same thing happens in rescue mode as well [06:31] nick__: also run a md5sum test [06:31] will that help the no video signal problem [06:31] Wau; that guide is for an older version anyway [06:31] Wau; where does it stop? [06:31] where's a good place to start? [06:31] specifically [06:31] geekphreak: most people don't know how to run md5sum tests :) [06:31] nick: that really sounds more like a hardware/card issue. [06:32] ok thanks bastid_raZor [06:32] nisstyre65, : True, but "Thank you, very much for this. I just used these instructions to rescue an install of Lucid." [06:32] adobe's flex-flash whatever is what messed up my flash install. [06:32] well, i had no problems with ubuntu 9.1 but this one is a pain, i lose video signal during the install [06:32] nisstyre65, : First it does some disk checking, then it gets stuck. I can't remember the exact error message and can't find logs either [06:32] So what am I supposed to do [06:32] nick: in which case you might have to wait for a fix but I suggest you alos search the forums. Sounds like you're not alone in your pain. [06:32] ubuntu 10.04 scanner only works as root [06:32] who isn't having problems with 10.04 LTS ? lol [06:32] Wau; gonna need to know exactly where it's choking [06:32] Audiophile1411, did you use the Alternate installer? [06:32] early adopters pay the price. [06:33] :) [06:33] so you think the ubuntu team will have this issue fixed [06:33] jb12: the servers are still a bit hammered. when it starts to download the packages it may be somewhat slow.. 200KB/s or so is a decent speed right now [06:33] i'm sure my sound icon will return someday.. not haha [06:33] Wau; so chrooting in and updating again didn't work? [06:33] under Hardy I could add an NTFS drive to my fstab and have it load with the system. Under Lucid I get an underpriviledged user error, and when I follow the instructions on the site, I get "Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure". Anyone know a workaround? [06:33] and brightness key bindings will become magically responsive [06:33] some update, some day from now [06:33] keyhive: unfortunatetly i would have to agree with you on md5sum [06:33] How do i get my printer/shared folders to work across the network? [06:33] nomasteryoda, Where is it located [06:33] keyhive: aside from mild usb power issues and wine.. which wine issues are abundant everywhere.. im flying [06:34] One min, let me paste the output from that [06:34] I just installed 10.04, and all seems well, except my wifi (a ASUS PCI-G31) is not willing to connect. It sees SID's in the list, but I've tried to connect to two routers that I can connect to with other PC's, and it always fails. Both routers are OPEN (no security) what should I check? [06:34] how can I disable/purge the messaging menu in the indicator-applet? [06:34] anyone else have problems with ubuntuone? [06:34] Hey just wanted to share, I was way overthinking this. I ran aptitude and searched for whatever program package I had in the original folder that also includes all of its dependencies, and jumped down to the packages dependency list and selected all of its dependencies to be removed. So this worked perfectly removes the main app and all un-needed deps as well, and keep the ones that are required by other packages. Worked perfectly. Gotta [06:34] hi i am zoomed in and i need to zoom out again [06:34] my contacts are not downloaded :( [06:34] I downloaded a distro upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 - no problems. Dell 1545 laptop. [06:34] i hit the function key with some other button [06:34] CHArdrOS: for starters, which printer is it? [06:34] anyone, anyone? I feel like fucking Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller [06:34] :) [06:35] nisstyre65: http://pastie.org/942195 [06:35] is there a way to zoom back out [06:35] CHArdrOS: Please mind your language [06:35] That's what I get when I try to use chroot [06:35] hello.. any body guide me, how to contribute to ubuntu community [06:35] matt3206: what kind of zoom? browser or entire desktop? [06:35] Where is the alternative installer [06:35] aperson, remove indicator-messages [06:35] gartral: ah, good for you. my issues are very minor, i admit. i care about neither issue. lucid is great, it was nice to see it transform over beta / rc, and a clean install fixed all of that.. i guess it is the price early adopters pay. [06:35] does anyone have a problem with video signal while installing ubuntu 10.04 [06:35] i upgraded to beta, now i dont have the music store i cant drag windowns in the workspace selector and i dont have a me menue what should i do? [06:36] Epson, shared from XP, I see the printer if i manually enter in configuration, but it fails to print [06:36] Audiophile1411: they're stored in the same folders on the mirrors as the desktop installer [06:36] nick__ i did, when upgrading to the nvidia drivers [06:36] @Flannel. sure... sorry, no disrespect. [06:36] how did u install 10.04 [06:36] Wau; I think you made a mistake chrooting [06:36] i upgraded [06:36] if browser. press Ctrl-0 That is control zero. [06:36] douglas: some of those functions are broken for me as well. i think it's a compiz bug that wasn't addressed at launch. [06:36] Oh [06:36] ZykoticK9, thank you! [06:36] not sure [06:36] mahendra_: if browser. press Ctrl-0 That is control zero. [06:36] under Hardy I could add an NTFS drive to my fstab and have it load with the system. Under Lucid I get an underpriviledged user error, and when I follow the instructions on the site, I get "Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure". Anyone know a workaround? [06:37] what should we do? [06:37] It `is` the first time I'm doing it [06:37] Wau; your install is not named 'ubuntu' right? [06:37] probably your name or something [06:37] keyhive: funny.. i had swapped from karmic too beta1.. had no problems, hit beta 2 and the removal of hal borked me.. had to reinstall using the beta2 cd.. then b2>rc>rl all went smooth [06:37] It's katz [06:37] yeah [06:37] that should be root@katz [06:37] dhilip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community [06:37] Oh, right [06:37] Krionic, i am using a dell latitude d400, is this the problem [06:37] or katz@katz more like [06:38] gatral: and THAT'S why I finally started used vbox. [06:38] Let me try again === c2d2 is now known as uncmar [06:38] douglas: be patient, i think. check to see if the bug is filed. if it is, it will likely be fixed. i am concerned that some bugs will never get fixed, because i've heard of that happening but the major ones should get attention. so if your bug isn't filed you should open a bug ticket and RAIL for the fix. Get some attention :) [06:38] should i do an install cd and do a fresh install? [06:38] gartral: brutal! [06:38] how can i know if a packages is in ubuntu by default? [06:38] douglas: try the cdrom updgrade first. If it fails, do a fresh. [06:39] douglas: yeah, do a fresh install. it fixes a bunch of stuff, some of the time. [06:39] how do i do a cdrom upgrade?, [06:39] aafuentes: as in? [06:39] x_x [06:39] Krionic, i have a dell latitude d400, is this the issue [06:39] douglas: oh -_- [06:39] aafuentes, "apt-cache policy $packagename" and if it shows archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ then it's from default ubuntu [06:39] welp. looks like windows type problems all over again. Same old shit, different OS. [06:40] aafuentes: open terminal sudo apt-cache search package_name [06:40] douglas: $ ? [06:40] geekphreak, as in i need to know if i can find a file in a default ubuntu instalation [06:40] nick__, your comp uses a Integrated Intel 855GM graphics chipset; the problem i ran into had to do with the nvidia driver causing the screen to go blank [06:40] how do i solve this [06:40] ** intel integrated hell ** [06:40] If I browse, nothing. but if I enter: smb//[workgroup]/Emu/Epson it sees it, but gives errors [06:40] i know the packaged the file is in... so i need to know if that package is instaled by defautl geekphreak [06:40] douglas: from terminal gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" [06:40] geekphreak, apt-cache doesn't require sudo FYI [06:40] I just installed 10.04, and all seems well, except my wifi (a ASUS PCI-G31) is not willing to connect. It sees SID's in the list, but I've tried to connect to two routers that I can connect to with other PC's, and it always fails. Both routers are OPEN (no security) what should I check? [06:40] ZykoticK9: right mate , thanks [06:41] Krionic, how do i get around this issue [06:41] looks like my flash will be screwed until I reinstall fresh. Like I said. SOS DOS. Same Old Shit, Different Operating System. [06:41] * keyhive wishes AMD huge luck with its CPU/GPU Fusion platform because integrated intel graphics need to die. yesterday. [06:41] shadow0 is your wifi a broadcom card? [06:41] F|ReSTaRT, still there? [06:41] the packages is python-pygame... can i find it in a regular ubuntu installation? [06:41] shadow0, did you edit the connections, removing the automatic ones you have for those bssid's then reconnect? ... worked for me after my upgrade on this laptop [06:41] shadow0: what is the failure message? [06:41] CHArdrOS: am now :) [06:41] sh: Can't open /cdrom/cdromupgrade [06:41] !info python-pygame [06:42] ok acerimmer, or anyone else who knows how to install grub2 [06:42] want mail server on ubuntu like exchange server [06:42] python-pygame (source: pygame): SDL bindings for games development in Python. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.1release-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 2400 kB, installed size 7040 kB [06:42] ah, good :) [06:42] nick__ for me, my xorg.conf file was incorrectly created, referenced drivers that were not installed. I wound up having to uninstall the drivers and erase the file from live cd because I couldn't even get into recovery mode [06:42] I ran live cd, mounted /dev/sda1 to /media/sda1 [06:42] CHArdrOS: so which printer, is it connected to a machine or a router? [06:42] aafuentes: use the command posted by ZykoticK9 :) [06:42] keyhive: i went i7 860 too avoid the Intel-hell experience [06:42] lsemple: iit should have installed by default with 9.10 or 10.04 [06:42] want mail server on ubuntu like exchange server [06:42] then ran sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda1 /dev/sda [06:42] keyhive: i went i7 860 too avoid the Intel-intergrated-hell experience [06:42] Krionic, would this require changing the live cd before i install it === F|ReSTaRT is now known as FiReStaRT [06:42] want mail server on ubuntu like exchange server 2010 [06:42] gartral: DROOL :D [06:42] it's connected to an XP box, thru my router, a Linksys with dd-wrt installed [06:42] acerimmer: yeah I screwed it up when I upgraded from 9.10 to whatever version is latest === FiReStaRT is now known as FiReSTaRT [06:43] ryan_: no, it is a RaLink [06:43] I selected to re-install grub to /dev/sda1 [06:43] CHArdrOS: use my nickname when replying to me or i miss your posts :) [06:43] keyhive: may i pm you?
