| iDope | yes liddell that should do the trick. What distro are you using? | 00:00 |
| Homely_Girl | sebsebseb: My ex, who introduced me to linux will do it 4 me, I'm sure! He may even have lucid on cd already. :) | 00:00 |
| FoxWolf | I have a problem with Flash on ubuntu, for example, i can not for some reason use chatroulette as the plugin crashes | 00:00 |
| jjr | hello | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | G-man: What do you mean fruitcake? | 00:00 |
| Vigo | ChrisC_: Do you have the download site? | 00:00 |
| liddell | Kubuntu 10.04 | 00:00 |
| G-man | sebsebseb: Last time i checked, that word was pretty straight-forward, as well as self explanatory :D | 00:00 |
| G-man | sebsebseb: Need I say more.... ? | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | G-man: yeah, well I mainly did that since I wanted to use the factoid :D | 00:01 |
| ChrisC_ | For Ekiga? | 00:01 |
| thebruce | hey fellas i have a question about something i changed in gconf-editor | 00:01 |
| jjr | It seems I've two sound outputs; the classical one (the jack output) and an USB one. The latter interests me since I wand the sound on my wireless usb headset. However, on startup, it's the classical output that is activated by default. How to make that the USB out is automatically chosen? | 00:01 |
| gmccreight | I used to see an "encrypt" contextual menu dropdown in nautilus... I'm on a new computer and don't see it... do I need to install something like PGP? | 00:01 |
| wolfjb | anyone have difficulties with nvidia cards in lucid? I use compiz, but when I logoff, it loses that setting so my screen is borken when I logon again | 00:01 |
| Homely_Girl | Thanks for the help wolfjb and sebsebseb, am sure you'll see me again. Hey, wot's the apt-get for the restricted packages plse? | 00:01 |
| ChrisC_ | I would prefer to use Skype. | 00:01 |
| G-man | sebsebseb: I think it was because of the fruitcake, in your blood :D | 00:01 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, ? | 00:01 |
| Vigo | ChrisC_: It looks like it is in the Repositories. | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | Homely_Girl: I think I seen you before | 00:02 |
| wolfjb | Homely_Girl: you are welcome | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Homely_Girl: by the way there's even a good manual for learning 10.04 | 00:02 |
| ChrisC_ | It is. That's where I'm getting it from. | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Homely_Girl: free PDF download | 00:02 |

| thebruce | TommyThaGun, i changed something in metacity | 00:02 |
| shelldude | gah. what's the name of that thing that is similar to a newyears resolution, but you put your "newyears resolution" in a letter and stamp it shut and then open it next year or something... any synonym for this or is it just called newyears resolution? | 00:02 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, what was it you changed? | 00:02 |
| Homely_Girl | sebsebseb: Do I seem like the kinda of woman with patience to read thru all the higher geek? :P | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | Homely_Girl: it's aimed at beginers | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | !manual | Homely_Girl | 00:02 |
| ubottu | Homely_Girl: 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/ | 00:02 |

| Scouris | Homely_Girl, it's actually really easy for non-geeks to understand | 00:02 |
| thebruce | i was moving the buttons back to the right side | 00:03 |
| Homely_Girl | sebsebseb: I know how to use sudo apt-get...so wot's the filename for the restricted files? | 00:03 |
| awells527 | Hi all, it seems that gnome-app-install has been replaced with a dummy package. Is there a way to get it back? I don't like the software center because it installs one package at a time. | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | thebruce: oh right | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Homely_Girl: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:03 |
| thebruce | well, i made a typo and type minimum and not minimize | 00:03 |
| TommyThaGun | !controls | thebruce | 00:03 |
| ubottu | thebruce: 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 | 00:03 |
| acicula | jjr under preferences->sound can you select the other output there? | 00:03 |
| duffydack | I wish the manual included a screenshot without the crash report icon.. :( | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | TommyThaGun: yeah except it seems thebruce messed up when trying to do that | 00:04 |
| jjr | acicula, yes, and it works, but then at next startup it's again the other one who's selectd by default :/ | 00:04 |
| Homely_Girl | sebsebseb: *mwah* thanks bye for now ;) | 00:04 |
| lucas_ | su | 00:04 |
| benjamintheyon | how can I turn off auto scroll in here? I'm using Empathy for IRC. | 00:04 |
| thebruce | so now, i have to right click 'unset key' and it goes back to default | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | duffydack: well tell them that in #ubuntu-manual or something | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | duffydack: a second version will be coming out in a month or so | 00:04 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, this thread talks about the proper way to change them: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469475 | 00:04 |
| thebruce | but when i reboot it has the typo i put it | 00:04 |
| ChrisC_ | In Ekiga I can choose the sound in Skype I can't how do I change this? | 00:05 |
| Scouris | benjamintheyon, I don't know if you can with Empathy, but you can with Pidgin | 00:05 |
| duffydack | sebsebseb, well if its an ongoing project........just seemed unprofessional at the time..thats just me. | 00:05 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, if you do that that page says to fix it, then it should be okay. basically you will be creating a new theme | 00:05 |
| benjamintheyon | Scouris, thank you. Pidgin might be the way to go huh? The Facebook part of Empathy doesn't appear to work for me either. | 00:06 |
| acicula | jjr, ah, dunno about that | 00:06 |
| thebruce | TommyThaGun, also i see in the settings i can change the number of workspaces. i changed it to 7 but nothing happend | 00:06 |
| gperaltascura | What is the difference between x86-64 packages and amd64 packages? | 00:06 |
| acicula | gperaltascura, they are the same | 00:06 |
| krachny | hi | 00:06 |
| unsure | gperaltascura, intel processor is x86, AMD CPU = md64 | 00:06 |
| jjr | Ok, some unrelated question then: what's a dummy package? And why does it exists? | 00:06 |
| unsure | jjr, dummy?? no idea | 00:07 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, no difference - generally just different naming convensions for the same thing | 00:07 |
| acicula | jjr, dummy/metapackages exist to pull in other packages | 00:07 |
| Vigo | ChrisC_: Sound works on everything else, like Sound Recorder, IM stuff, Ekiga? | 00:07 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, so long as your processor supports long mode it will run either binaries | 00:07 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, I don't know anything about the number of workstations... I think there are several different ways to change the number of them, so I wonder if one overrides another. I don't know where the proper place that change that is | 00:07 |
| gperaltascura | But what happens if there are two versions of the same .deb package with those names? | 00:07 |
| ChrisC_ | Yes | 00:08 |
| acicula | gperaltascura, the package manager will complain probably | 00:08 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, not seen that before - example... | 00:08 |
| === b12core_ is now known as B12CORE | ||
| thebruce | might be in compiz | 00:08 |
| gperaltascura | Sorry, there are i386 and amd64 packages. | 00:08 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, yeah, I know you can control it in compiz properly | 00:08 |
| gperaltascura | not x86-64. | 00:09 |
| artatama | !manual sudo | 00:09 |
| acicula | gperaltascura, those arent interchangeable, trying to install an i386 package should ussually result in a complaint from the packagemanager | 00:09 |
| sweb1 | hail | 00:09 |
| sweb1 | i cant mount my drive into samba | 00:09 |
| acicula | gperaltascura, when on an x86_64 system and vice versa | 00:09 |
| thebruce | TommyThaGun, do you know where that option is compiz might be? | 00:09 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, not off the top of my head. I currently am not using compiz | 00:10 |
| gperaltascura | So, if I have an Intel processor (doesn't matter if I'm w | 00:10 |
| artatama | !manual su | 00:10 |
| thebruce | TommyThaGun, ahh ok are you using Gnome? | 00:10 |
| soreau | thebruce: #compiz | 00:10 |
| TommyThaGun | yes | 00:10 |
| spawn | can i get some help setting up hybrid crossfire | 00:10 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, yea - i386 is for standard 32bit CPUs amd64 for 64 bit. FreeBSD introduced the amd64 name as far as I know (AMD had the only 64 bit processors at the time) and it stuck widely in the *nix world. x86-64 name was championed by intel to draw away from AMD. | 00:11 |
| thebruce | thanks soreau | 00:11 |
| acicula | gperaltascura, unless you have <4GB ram the 64 bit arch is a good choice | 00:11 |
| G-man | lol? | 00:11 |
| unsure | ? | 00:11 |
| sweb1 | please see the big problem with samba : http://pastebin.com/YZ76YTMm | 00:11 |
| hiexpo | !ask | 00:11 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 00:11 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, doesnt matter at all. I have i5 - amd64 runs just fine. if you really want to know the history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 | 00:12 |
| cordell | Can anybody tell me of a native linux alternative to Autodesk Inventor. | 00:12 |
| === root is now known as Guest99724 | ||
| gperaltascura | Ahhh, so amd64 .deb packages are not just for AMD 64 bits processors? | 00:12 |
| thebruce | got it | 00:12 |
| thebruce | thanks fellas | 00:12 |
| Guest99724 | I hate to sound like a n00b (because I'm not), but I made a mistake, and I need emergency help on how to fix it. | 00:13 |
| thebruce | now to test the issue with a login-logout | 00:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | gperaltascura, amd64 = x86_64 | 00:13 |
| Scouris | cordell, http://bit.ly/d41jUb this is a list of possible alternatives for you | 00:13 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, no - amd64 is just the naming convension used in linux circles for 64bit binaries | 00:13 |
| unsure | ZykoticK9, oh? I thought these are intel and amd, I thought they're different? | 00:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | unsure, nope | 00:14 |
| unsure | oh ok | 00:14 |
| CogitoErgoSam | amd designed the intial 64bit stuff | 00:14 |
| sweb1 | no ones here to answer my question about samba | 00:14 |
| spawn | when ever i install the ati drivers for my ubuntu 10.04 amd 64 machine it never cant find screens and i usally do a fresh install of ubuntu after that so im using the generic drivers is there a way to set up hybrid crossfire? | 00:14 |
| Sedated | intel adopted AMD's 64 bit extensions, so they are refered to as amd64 | 00:14 |
| unsure | !samba | 00:14 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | unsure, 32bit = x86 64bit = x86_64 OR AMD64 | 00:14 |
| Sedated | even though intel calls them something like EMT64 | 00:14 |
| iDope | sweb1: just a sec lemme find it.. | 00:14 |
| Guest99724 | I was trying to get a module to work, and I installed linux-source, then I did `make modules_install`. It failed, but not before it removed all of the modules. Now I can boot but not do anything. | 00:14 |
| unsure | ZykoticK9, okay | 00:14 |
| gperaltascura | Grizmawe: Ok, so 32 bits binaries=i386 and 64 bits binaries=amd64 | 00:14 |
| rww | or i686 | 00:14 |
| sweb1 | thank, iDope | 00:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Guest: Do you get a grub menu | 00:15 |
| thebruce | TommyThaGun, that theme method did not work | 00:15 |
| ChrisC_ | Too late now, sort this tomorrow. | 00:15 |
| Grizmawe | gperaltascura, thats it | 00:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | i386 is dead at this point, they will be i686 | 00:15 |
| thebruce | my gconf is whacked out | 00:15 |
| gperaltascura | Thank you guys. | 00:15 |
| thebruce | anyway to 'reinstall' gconf settings | 00:15 |
| Guest99724 | How can I fix this with no internet, and only the kernel source to work from. | 00:15 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: Ubuntu 32-bit labels its ISOs i386 and installs an i686 kernel. Go figure. | 00:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | You'll also see i386/i686 referred to just x86 for short | 00:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | as long as its not followed by _64 of course | 00:15 |
| iDope | sweb1: what exactly are you trying to do. Can you explain in detail what you want accomplished? | 00:16 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ok nm Zyko beat me on that point | 00:16 |
| duffydack | I read that grub2 with no other OS detected shows no menu and needs SHIFT holding down during boot. Well this does not work. | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, i'm guessing that is to lower confusion (or increase it) | 00:16 |
| doktoreas | #qgis | 00:16 |
| Guest99724 | it's the default kernel for 10.04 (2.6.32) | 00:16 |
| Grizmawe | ZykoticK9, i386 will be around for a while yet - legacy systems wont run if using strict i686 compiler flags | 00:16 |
| duffydack | to show boot menu that is... instead of Escape... | 00:16 |
| sweb1 | iDope, i have a 1TB external hard drive that shared with samba, with guest access and writable option | 00:17 |
| acicula | Grim76__, you mean everything before a p5? | 00:17 |
| sweb1 | when i want open it tell me that i can not mount | 00:17 |
| Grizmawe | ZykoticK9, many distros may well move to i686 by default - some have already but i386 is not dead | 00:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | Grizmawe, i'm under the impression that much of i386 has been dropped from linux kernel already. I could be wrong/misinformed. I'm sorry to have claimed it was "dead" sorry :) | 00:17 |
| acicula | err meant Grizmawe | 00:18 |
| thebruce | anyone got much experience in gconf? | 00:18 |
| B12CORE | Hi, just confirming: updating from 8.04 to 10.04, none of my personal files will be deleted during this process, correct? | 00:18 |
| iDope | ok so this drive is on a different server? And does it open correctly on other clients? | 00:18 |
| soreau | When I switch to tty1 and run 'DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace' the box stops responding. What gives? Can anyone else reproduce this in lucid? | 00:18 |

| dapimp53 | CogitoErgoSam: the email is still on the server though. It is not syncing up with thunderbird | 00:20 |

| iDope | sweb1: and does it work? | 00:23 |
| Grizmawe | Dougshell, would suggest either a bad burn of the CD or power management issues. What machine? also try disabling apic | 00:23 |

| sweb1 | iDope, yeah | 00:24 |
| sweb1 | does not work | 00:24 |
| Grizmawe | awells527, synaptic is a good choice for GUI, its installed by default | 00:24 |
| sweb1 | still problem | 00:24 |
| sweb1 | :( | 00:24 |
| SamWeasley | the mencoder output is on http://pastie.org/946035 | 00:24 |
| CogitoErgoSam | awells527: Synaptic for gui or the command line with apt-get or aptitude | 00:24 |
| Dougshell | well other verison of ubuntu work fine also burn is fine | 00:24 |
| Theravadan | so what new /old features of ubuntu make it more productive than it already is? | 00:24 |
| iDope | then there is a problem with your samba config.. can you pastebin that? | 00:24 |
| Dougshell | intel i5 ati 5850 4gb ram | 00:24 |
| CogitoErgoSam | awells527: If you use the command line you just type all of the package names separated by a space | 00:24 |
| CogitoErgoSam | awells527: ie apt-get install package1 package2 package3 ...etc | 00:25 |
| iDope | Dougshell: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004.. Check out the "Desktop installer sometimes crashes on startup" section.. maybe that is related to your issue | 00:25 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, did you get it fixed? | 00:25 |
| Grizmawe | awells527, if you want to use terminal I always recommend aptitude over apt-get. It tracks packages better | 00:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | SamWeasley, If you are outputting to MP4, I'm not sure if mencoder uses libfaac for the AAC encoding - but if it does, then you might be experiencing an issue with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900 but i'd guess mencoder doesn't use ffmpeg so this wouldn't apply. Sorry only made the issue worse ;) | 00:26 |

| Grizmawe | ubuntudude, if it is the local hard disk then it should show up in places. Launch Nautilus and see if it shows there - just click on it and it should mount | 00:27 |
| Dougshell | that wont help as it never gives an error | 00:27 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, I can tell you that my value for button_layout at apps/metacity/general is "close,minimize,maximize:" | 00:27 |
| TommyThaGun | without the quotes | 00:27 |
| awells527 | Grizmawe: the only problem is that I liked how gnome-app-install organized the packages. Synaptic lists by the cryptic package names. I install the packages I can remember through the CLI, and I usually scan through the categories in gnome-app-install for anything I missed. | 00:27 |
| ubuntudude | it is mounted but it says i dont own it so i cant access it :( | 00:28 |
| Dougshell | installing to ssd btw | 00:28 |
| Dougshell | but that shoudl nto make a difference | 00:28 |
| Grizmawe | awells527, very true. Dont know of a GUI that has the best of both.... | 00:28 |
| mavromatis | solved it, seems that using ~ in the command after wine was not working, instead I used whole path | 00:28 |
| acicula | mknarr, specify a different db | 00:28 |

| digitalfiz | the network icon is also a red circle with a line in the middle but i still have internet | 00:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | SamWeasley, ya i has having a look through your paste, looks like you *might* be having the issue i suggested, it's certainly using ffmpeg for encoding, and the version in Ubuntu repo (and upstream) is crippled currently due to the bug i sent ya. You might want to give Handbrake-cli a try (the gui is currently not working in lucid) | 00:31 |
| tamran | hey guys, are there any risks upgrading if I'm using an Nvidia driver chipset? | 00:31 |
| thebruce | anyway to restore default gconf settings? | 00:32 |
| === infogulch1 is now known as infogulch | ||
| test34 | tamran, there is always a risk | 00:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | thebruce, is this about the button settings? | 00:32 |
| SamWeasley | zyotick9 i think so | 00:32 |
| thebruce | ZykoticK9, well yes and no | 00:32 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, did you see what I said a minute ago? | 00:32 |
| tamran | test34: any special issues with nvidia drivers | 00:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | SamWeasley, good luck | 00:32 |
| thebruce | no i left im sorry | 00:32 |
| thebruce | TommyThaGun, what did you say | 00:32 |
| TommyThaGun | thebruce, I can tell you that my value for button_layout at apps/metacity/general is "close,minimize,maximize:" | 00:33 |
| SamWeasley | zyotick9 had you tried it before? | 00:33 |
| tamran | something about plymouth not working with nvidia drivers | 00:33 |
| test34 | tamran, but if you keep your live CD that works, you should be able to recover (my nvidia card seems to work fine) | 00:33 |
| baddog | Does anyone know of a way to see bootup messages with a Live USB? 10.04, preferably | 00:33 |
| thebruce | changing the value is the problem TommyThaGun | 00:33 |
| digitalfiz | thebruce, deleteing the .gconf folder in ~/ will restore all defaults :P | 00:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | SamWeasley, handbrake - yes. but not for a psp or whatever device you are using. | 00:33 |
| thebruce | digitalfiz, yea? | 00:33 |

| TommyThaGun | thebruce, .gconf/ | 00:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | thebruce: The usual hierarchy to check is your home directory first for hidden files (usually has the user-specific settings for programs), then /etc/<appname> | 00:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | thebruce: So, like Tommy said, the first place to check would be ~/.gconf/ | 00:37 |
| thebruce | CogitoErgoSam, with natilus? | 00:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | thebruce, gconf-editor and browse to the key in question, then right click on button_layout and see if "mandatory" is selected | 00:37 |

| jjr | acicula, I'm looking at daemon.conf but it seems there's nothing useful there | 00:37 |
| CogitoErgoSam | thebruce: With the command line you'd look for them with ls -a | 00:37 |

| PC_ | Anyone here? | 00:38 |
| Hornet- | just a few | 00:38 |

| thebruce | CogitoErgoSam, i see the folder | 00:39 |
| _entropy_ | Can someone here help me with the nvidia driver? | 00:39 |
| acicula | jjr, either you have to change the pulseaudio config directly or do it in the same way gnome chnages the settings, but dont have anything more specific then that | 00:39 |

| Hognonymous | I understand ther is (was?) an issue with dual booting the new ubuntu. I don't suppose any of you can tell me if that's been patched (in the iso, or otherwise) yet, eh? | 00:41 |
| acicula | Klevi, that depends on how you access gmail and if you use pop3 wether you set it to fetch&delete or not | 00:41 |

| Scouris | damnyankee, this link can help you with your problem: http://bit.ly/9dXPvz | 01:11 |
| PMantis | |rt|: su can only give you a shell and asks for the ROOT password when opening a root shell. sudo uses the /etc/sudoers file to determine access (on a per user and per command basis) and asks for the "user" password to authorize. sudo is also not meant to give you a shell, although you can. Instead use things like 'sudo adduser' or whatever. | 01:11 |

| Nirra | I need open 3334 for psybnc example | 01:12 |
| Nirra | How ? | 01:12 |
| iDope | then its probably not ubuntu. Your internet connection is giving you trouble.. | 01:12 |
| pookie_ | Nirra configure psybnc to use port 3334 | 01:12 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: use the terminal to run it | 01:12 |
| |rt| | PMantis: well sudo -i still uses the /etc/sudoers | 01:12 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Nirra: If you're talking about changing the ports that a specific app listens on, the normal procedure is to change the settings for that app or service and then restart it | 01:12 |
| FAJ | iDope: confirm this is also happning on sisters 10.04 install.... but this laptop is a 10.04 install working fine. | 01:12 |
| PMantis | |rt|: Exactly. | 01:12 |

| dkulchenko | Hi all! I'm drawing a blank, how can I check which libraries an executable is linked to? | 01:14 |
| Nirra | pookie_ what? | 01:14 |
| PMantis | |rt|: sudo is meant to be used on a server where you want to control who has root access to what command, and LOG who did what. with su, you don't have any log, and there's only one password that every user knows... the root password. | 01:14 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Nirra: I think the problem is you're using the wrong terminology. "Opening" a port means stopping it from being blocked, like a router or firewall would do | 01:15 |
| pookie_ | connecting to it locally. | 01:15 |
| frostschutz | dkulchenko, ldd executable? | 01:15 |

| Nirra | I connect from Internet from other computer. | 01:15 |

| |rt| | PMantis: it may log differently than sudo -i though | 01:15 |
| hackel | ChogyDan: of anything. | 01:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Nirra: It sounds like the changes you need to make aren't on the linux computer, but the router its behind | 01:15 |
| pookie_ | Nirra: its very likely a firewall / router problems. | 01:16 |
| pookie_ | Nirra: nothing to do with ubuntu. | 01:16 |
| |rt| | PMantis: depending on if every command in the shell you get from sudo -i is logged vs sudo su - only logging that one command | 01:16 |

| ThomasG33K | In Ubuntu 10.04 on a Macbook 5,1 (or others) is the heating issue still a problem? | 01:16 |
| Nirra | And I think. | 01:16 |
| PMantis | |rt|: What? I thought we were talking about sudo -i vs su - (to sudo or not to sudo) | 01:16 |
| Nirra | Thanks alot. Bye ) | 01:16 |
| Nirra | :) | 01:16 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, seems to create feedback immedaitely when using ALSA with default device picked (which is the only choice for input) | 01:16 |
| pookie_ | youre welcome | 01:16 |
| FAJ | iDope: yes it is wireless; i am using wicd v. 1.5.9 .... have something to do w/ it maybe? | 01:16 |
| |rt| | PMantis: no sudo -i vs sudo su - | 01:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | |rt|, PMantis could you please move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:16 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Nirra: Hold up a sec, pm me and i can probably help you | 01:16 |
| ChogyDan | hackel: in theory, the default install is all pulled in by ubuntu-desktop | 01:16 |
| |rt| | ZykoticK9: how is this offtopic? | 01:16 |
| hackel | ChogyDan: Well, e.g. ubuntu-desktop, but not any of the packages it depends on. And every other "parent" package like that, so that I can re-create my current system. | 01:16 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: is that working feedback or nonworking feedback | 01:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | |rt|, you are debating - this is NOT a support issue at this point | 01:17 |
| iDope | wicd isn't the problem.. I just remember intel 5300 wireless cards have issues on linux with Wireless-N capable routers. | 01:17 |
| PMantis | |rt|: That... I have no comment on, then. I prefer sudo -i, since it's less typing. | 01:17 |
| Klevi | cant tell yah for sure | 01:17 |
| ChogyDan | hackel: why not just all the packages? | 01:17 |
| |rt| | ZykoticK9: i'm not arguing i'm just trying to understand what the difference is | 01:17 |
| Klevi | Ill use headphones and let you know ChogyDan | 01:17 |
| pookie_ | Hauppauge WinTV 1250 tv tuner, cam anybody help getting it to work? | 01:17 |
| hackel | ChogyDan: So that those dependences will be automatically removed when I no longer need them (especially if I won't need them in lucid but did in karmic) | 01:17 |
| FAJ | iDope: it's not a wireless n capable router | 01:17 |
| LJ_Scott | Anyone able to help me with an error I'm getting when trying to use MPlayer? - "Error opening/initializing the selected video_output device (-vo)." i just upgraded to 10.04. | 01:18 |
| andres_ | i need someone who spek spanish | 01:18 |
| FAJ | iDope: no probs before upgrade... idk if that helps..... but both probs on both computers now.... which both have wicd 1.5.9 | 01:18 |
| ChogyDan | !clone | hackel | 01:18 |
| ubottu | hackel: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 01:18 |
| PMantis | ZykoticK9: Just saw your msg... I'm done anyhow. | 01:18 |
| iDope | then its not that issue... what speed are you getting on your synaptic activity? | 01:18 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:18 |
| hackel | ChogyDan: Aha, that looks like what I want, thank you. | 01:19 |
| |rt| | Here's a support question....in Lucid for some reason the first location you put into the clock applet isn't showing up as home so I'm not getting any weather info...any idea how to set a location as home? | 01:19 |
| EzeQL | hi | 01:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | LJ_Scott, try "mplayer -vo xv $file" other vo option include gl, x11, gl2 -- see "mplayer vo help" for full list. | 01:19 |
| ChogyDan | hackel: I believe those commands will save what was auto installed, etc | 01:19 |
| pookie_ | =/ | 01:19 |
| EzeQL | question , i just added a previuously executed program as a service | 01:19 |
| |rt| | doh never mind...just hit the set button next to it | 01:19 |
| iDope | FAJ: I really don't think wicd can be the culprit here.. | 01:19 |
| EzeQL | question , i just added a previuously executed program as a service . It is failing while writing a file now | 01:19 |
| LJ_Scott | thanks ZykoticK9 , will give that a try. | 01:19 |
| pookie_ | EzeQL: did you run it as root? | 01:19 |
| EzeQL | previously yes | 01:20 |
| EzeQL | now i have no idea :) | 01:20 |
| EzeQL | how can i check that? | 01:20 |
| pookie_ | try running it again the same way | 01:20 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:20 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, yes its working | 01:20 |
| pookie_ | if it fails, chances are its a permission related problem. | 01:20 |
| Guest31920 | The encryption is tkip and aes | 01:20 |
| Klevi | So i should just need to tell skype to use ALSA for input andf be fine then right ChogyDan | 01:21 |
| EzeQL | pookie_ failed again | 01:21 |
| FAJ | iDope: one is an rt2870... the other one i think i used ndiswrapper on last time... | 01:21 |
| EzeQL | manually executed works | 01:21 |
| EzeQL | service doesnt work | 01:21 |
| jef91 | The webcam on my netbook is failing to work - can't find anything online about it... Any suggestions on debugging? Model is an Asus T91MT | 01:21 |
| pookie_ | EzeQL: you need root privledges. | 01:21 |
| EzeQL | how can i change the .. rights for such service? | 01:21 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: I kinda forget, but I think you have to have gstreamer-props set correctly, and then have skype setup the same | 01:21 |
| pookie_ | add gksudo to the beginning of the command, or setup sudo to allow that program to execute as root. | 01:21 |
| Klevi | yeah ( ChogyDan ) Skype only sees PulseAudio | 01:22 |
| Guest31920 | Oh and I can also connect to a adhoc network so its something with ubuntus wpa certificates but I don't know bwhat to do | 01:22 |
| billy2007 | hey guys i downloaded highgrow 4.20 program its installed but dosnt open ? any ideas.... im using wine | 01:22 |
| iDope | FAJ: I'm afraid you have me stumped.. can't really pinpoint anything right now.. | 01:22 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: can you get gstreamer-properties to work with pulseaudio? | 01:22 |
| pookie_ | billy2007: its probably not compatible out of the box. You will need to copy some dll's | 01:22 |
| FAJ | iDope: .... any thoughts? ima try to upgrade wicd.... | 01:22 |
| djbeenie_ | hey guys, I can not move my menus around | 01:23 |
| Klevi | .... possibly.. will try ChogyDan | 01:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | billy2007, try asking in #winehq i think is the channel, noticed it didn't have an entry on winedb - good luck man. | 01:23 |
| pookie_ | billy2007: sorry I can't help more than that. It's a pain in the 4$$ | 01:23 |
| LJ_Scott | Thanks ZykoticK9, got it working on gl2. | 01:23 |
| EzeQL | thanks POC|Farmer | 01:23 |
| PMantis | Anyone see this error on 8.10 server upgrade? http://pastebin.com/4WidyZcN | 01:23 |
| EzeQL | thanks pookey_ | 01:23 |
| moegreen | hey guys is there an app i can use to format my usb thumb drive to boot into dos? | 01:23 |
| thebruce | wow this gconf issue is killing me | 01:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | LJ_Scott, if you usually use a GUI just change the vo to gl2 then :) | 01:23 |
| pookie_ | moegreen: Windows. :p | 01:23 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:23 |
| ChogyDan | PMantis: did you do it with sudo? | 01:23 |
| billy2007 | pookie_, ZykoticK9 cheers guys ill see if i can sort it | 01:23 |
| pookie_ | see ya | 01:23 |
| moegreen | i dont want to use windows :) | 01:24 |
| ircuser | How to install firefox while upgrading using alternate-cd? it wasn't working so I removed and then reinstalled. The error is : http://pastebin.com/YcKEKvNa | 01:24 |
| PMantis | ChogyDan: No, i'm logged in as root | 01:24 |
| FAJ | iDope: mirrors.kernel.org is working fine through packages.ubuntu.com on this laptop | 01:24 |
| llynix | upgraded to 10.04 and now my cifs share drive doesn't automount via fstab: //192.168.1.101/Messenger /media/Messenger cifs noexec 0 0 | 01:24 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, it does seem to work with my mic on pulse audio as well as alsa in gstreamer-properties | 01:24 |
| pookie_ | moegreen: you could maybe create a FreeDOS disk? Other than that Windows is the only option. | 01:24 |
| llynix | yet when I mount /media/Messenger it seems to work fine | 01:24 |
| PMantis | ChogyDan: Note the prompt "#". :) | 01:24 |
| thebruce | no matter what i do to the .gconf or .gconfd folders i cannot write to /apps/metacity/general/button_layout | 01:24 |
| iDope | FAJ: if its plain slow try upgrading wicd, and test bandwidth between local wireless nodes... if the transfer speeds are fine then it most definitely isn't related to wicd.. | 01:24 |
| iDope | or wireless drivers for that matter | 01:24 |
| thebruce | i deleted them, chmodded | 01:24 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: then I would leave it set as pulseaudio. Try the test call with your current setup | 01:25 |
| FAJ | iDope: how would i do that? | 01:25 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:25 |
| djbeenie_ | running ubuntu 10.4 and I have no menu options like maximize or minimize my menus, also I can not move my windows around nor close them out. | 01:25 |
| thebruce | the only way to get my buttons back to normal is to right click them in gconf-editor and select 'unset key' | 01:25 |
| iDope | for example scp something from your laptop (im assuming its a laptop) to your sister's laptop | 01:25 |
| codygman | how do I install a .bin file? | 01:25 |
| codygman | lugaru to be xact | 01:25 |
| iDope | if you have ssh installed on both | 01:25 |
| unsure | !bin | 01:25 |
| POC|Farmer | EzeQL: no problem, whatever | 01:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | djbeenie_, to start "metacity --replace" in a terminal for from alt+f2 | 01:25 |
| iDope | or just share a file with samba and try copying it over at the other laptop | 01:25 |
| unsure | codygman, mhm, maybe you need wine for that | 01:25 |
| codygman | it says it is for linux unsure | 01:25 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, skype doesnt hear me | 01:25 |
| FAJ | iDope: recognizing the other computers i doubt will work as of now | 01:26 |
| iDope | if you get dismal speeds then its a wicd/wireless issue. Otherwise its just something wrong with your internet connection | 01:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | codygman, what is it? | 01:26 |
| codygman | Lugaru | 01:26 |
| pookie_ | .bin files are not executable if im not mistaken. Typically they have a third party tool that will say flash a firmware. | 01:26 |
| codygman | the game | 01:26 |
| djbeenie_ | ZykoticK9, that did it, why did that happen? | 01:26 |
| pookie_ | but if it is an executable | 01:26 |
| iDope | FAJ: by that you mean? | 01:26 |
| pookie_ | you could try chmod +x file.bin;./file.bin | 01:26 |
| jove | hello, I download firefox to save it in /var/tmp/firefox.tar.bz2; then untar it....how to install it under Unbuntu command ? | 01:26 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: hmm, so you can use your mic with gst-props, but you can;t with skype? I would just keep trying different skype settings, and pray | 01:26 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | codygman, bin should be an executable -- chmod +x $filename.bin -- then ./$filename.bin | 01:26 |
| pookie_ | jove: don't install firefox like that. | 01:26 |
| FAJ | iDope: as in my internet is running so slow, idk if i will be able to even share... | 01:26 |
| pookie_ | jove: it is not recommended. | 01:27 |
| jove | pookie, how do you do ? | 01:27 |
| codygman | ok cool, I was doing ./$filename.bin, but I overlooked changing the permissions. | 01:27 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, Skype only sees pulseaudio as a selectable input/output source.. | 01:27 |
| pookie_ | good. | 01:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | djbeenie_, no idea, it has something to do with your graphics card drivers | 01:27 |
| trevor | how can i fix the notification bubbles from being 1/4 of the way down my screen instead of below the panel | 01:27 |
| iDope | it won't have anything to do with internet... but you would need to have either samba or ssh installed | 01:27 |
| SkyRawk | #ubuntu-br | 01:27 |
| * Klevi has the same question as trevor | 01:27 | |
| jove | pookie? any suggestion ? | 01:27 |
| pookie_ | codygman: again, .bin is more likely to be a firmware, or BIOS upgrade. | 01:27 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:27 |
| iDope | because it would probably take ages to install them with your slow internet | 01:27 |
| peleg | I don't know what to do. I have tried to change a partition size, and it said it might take long; though, 40 minutes passed and it is still on 0%, and it doesn't make any harddrive noises. Should I force reboot? | 01:28 |
| POC|Farmer | EzeQL: im always inspiring by my mere presence | 01:28 |
| iDope | i guess ssh can still be done its less than 1 MB | 01:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | trevor, i've seen patches to try and fix that - but the best thing would be to ignore it. Good luck man. | 01:28 |
| CogitoErgoSam | trevor: I'll dig around since I'm not sure offhand, but there might be something for that in gconf-editor | 01:28 |
| pookie_ | jove: hit alt h2 and run gksudo apt-get install firefox | 01:28 |
| codygman | yes pookie_, I remember reflashing my router with .bin's and such. | 01:28 |
| GleasonGrails | Anyone have a good way of integrating compiz and fullscreen virtualbox without taking the keyboard focus off the virtualbox | 01:28 |
| EzeQL | POC|Farmer , wrong times pressed tab :) | 01:28 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: try to configure your sound through the sound icon, maybe there is something misset there | 01:28 |
| Agrajag- | g'day, using 10.04, in google chrome, when i visit certain pages, my whole monitor brightness changes (very bright, everything goes blurry). didn't happen in 9.10. only happens when i go to some websites - very strange - anyone know what might be causing this? | 01:28 |
| POC|Farmer | :D | 01:28 |
| GleasonGrails | so like I can still do ctrl Alt arrow | 01:28 |
| POC|Farmer | thats karma | 01:28 |
| pookie_ | codygman: if you do file file.bin | 01:29 |
| ChogyDan | pookie_: a bin is just something you execute. I would look for a readme, as executing it can do who knows what to your system. | 01:29 |
| pookie_ | it should tell you what it is... | 01:29 |
| pookie_ | ChogyDan: it can be. | 01:29 |
| ChogyDan | oops, codygman ^ what I said | 01:29 |
| FAJ | iDope: on another note, my sisters computer says that it cannot lock directory for update... i have absolutely NO updating occuring, help? | 01:29 |
| jove | pookie, not working | 01:29 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, everything looks good there.. Reinstall Skype? | 01:30 |
| cmpsalvestrini | FAJ: Do you have any instnces of Synaptic running? | 01:30 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:30 |
| pookie_ | jove: goto Application, Ubuntu Software and search for firefox | 01:30 |
| FAJ | cmpsalvestrini: not that i saw at all. | 01:30 |
| iDope | FAJ: Update Manager is probably running. Or synaptic is running.. (even if there is no update running synaptic acquires the lock) | 01:30 |
| CogitoErgoSam | FAJ: Or any other apt-get or aptitude processes running in a console | 01:30 |
| Klevi | Guest31920, try to reset your router? | 01:30 |
| joel_ | anyone help me with mod_pywebsocket? | 01:30 |
| pookie_ | jove almost everything you need will already be included in ubuntu. | 01:30 |
| FAJ | CogitoErgoSam: iDope not that i saw... how can i ensure these are off? | 01:30 |
| pookie_ | joel_: I dont think this is the place to ask. | 01:30 |
| iDope | in the terminal ps aux | grep synaptic and ps aux | grep apt | 01:31 |
| jrib | joel_: just ask your question, though if it's apache specific you should try their channel | 01:31 |
| iDope | both should show nothing | 01:31 |
| CogitoErgoSam | FAJ: idope beat me to it | 01:31 |
| joel_ | pookie_ lol i thought i was in #apache | 01:31 |
| pookie_ | joel_: :> | 01:31 |
| Guest31920 | Klevi yes | 01:31 |
| Klevi | joel_, happens allot.. | 01:31 |
| jrib | joel_: you mean #httpd I hope | 01:31 |
| cmpsalvestrini | FAJ: Try restarting your box, that should reser all updates | 01:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | pookie_, just an FYI but your direction to jove "hit alt h2 and run gksudo apt-get install firefox" wouldn't work, the "gksudo apt-get.." will fail, it needs to run a terminal for apt-get to work. | 01:31 |
| cmpsalvestrini | *reset | 01:31 |
| Guest31920 | Klevi all my other computers can connect but there wiindows also my phone can aswell | 01:31 |
| Klevi | Guest22032, try restarting your computer, i assume as well? | 01:31 |
| iDope | cmpsalvestrini: thats SO windoze like :P | 01:32 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: what device is selected in gstreamer-properties? | 01:32 |
| iDope | but cmpsalvestrini has a point.. its the most common solution to so many problems :) | 01:32 |
| pookie_ | ZykoticK9: I was trying to short cut it :> | 01:32 |
| pookie_ | ZykoticK9: thanks :> | 01:32 |
| Klevi | Guest22032, disable your phones wifi and try again with your laptop. Sometimes they interfere | 01:32 |
| FAJ | iDope: ah killed synaptic, nw updateing | 01:33 |
| CogitoErgoSam | FAJ: A problem that can occur sometimes is that if the computer gets shut off or interrupted in the middle of doing package management stuff that involves dpkg (so Software Center, Synaptic, apt-get or aptitude) it can lock the dpkg files | 01:33 |
| hiexpo | i watched avatar again last night and those are some rally big smurfs | 01:33 |
| FAJ | iDope: however still having majoooor problems on the rt2870 wireless | 01:33 |
| CogitoErgoSam | FAJ: Sounds like that isn't your prob though. Glad its working now. | 01:33 |
| bazhang | !ot > hiexpo | 01:33 |
| ubottu | hiexpo, please see my private message | 01:33 |
| iDope | FAJ: hmmm where was I on that... need to run some sort of local bandwidth tests... | 01:34 |
| FAJ | CogitoErgoSam: well it's 'updating... so we will see" iDope i am seeing many more 'fails' than hit and done on dl package information... on the rt2870 | 01:34 |
| === baddog_ is now known as baddog | ||
| ChogyDan | Klevi: I have the same problem as you actually, and I JUST FIXED IT :p | 01:34 |
| FAJ | iDope: yah. and i can't get internet open.... | 01:34 |
| pookie_ | ZykoticK9: gksudo gnome-terminal -c apt-get install firefox | 01:34 |
| pookie_ | :> | 01:34 |
| pookie_ | err | 01:34 |
| pookie_ | -e | 01:34 |
| Klevi | rofl how did you ChogyDan | 01:34 |
| pookie_ | anyway | 01:34 |
| CogitoErgoSam | FAJ: If that locking problem I mentioned was present, it wouldn't have let you start updating at all. So you're fine in that regard. | 01:34 |
| FloodBot1 | pookie_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:34 |
| arpa | Hey, I installed postfix + SASL on my ubuntu box, getting emails works 100%, sending out emails does not work. i'm getting "554 5.7.1 - Relay access denied". Any ideas what the problem could be? (main.cf = http://pastebin.com/uEzkMWjN). Thanks! | 01:34 |
| FAJ | CogitoErgoSam: now we just have to see if it will update..... | 01:34 |
| iDope | its 3:30 AM in my part of the world.. I can't think of a way to check transfer speeds between two nodes if none have sshd or samba installed | 01:34 |
| hiexpo | bazhang, - i know :) | 01:34 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: go to the sound preferences > input, and make sure the proper device is selected. You should see varience on the input levels | 01:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | pookey, nice :) yup with -e it would work! | 01:34 |
| iDope | anyone? | 01:34 |
| cmpsalvestrini | iDope: I know, but it does work sometimes | 01:35 |
| Guest31920 | Klevi, yes I have | 01:35 |
| pookie_ | I'm becoming very frustrated with ubuntu =/ | 01:35 |
| enriq | where in the file tree are iso mounted by gnome? | 01:35 |
| iDope | cmpsalvestrini: agreed.. totally | 01:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | pookie_, see above | 01:35 |
| unsure | enriq, somewhere in nautilus? | 01:35 |
| hiexpo | IdleOne, - how it goes there? | 01:35 |
| pookie_ | does anything ever work out of the box? Other than the basic desktop. | 01:35 |
| Klevi | Guest22032, A bit beyond me sadly, without being there myself to t/s it. | 01:35 |
| CogitoErgoSam | enriq: Most external media gets mounted in /media/ | 01:35 |
| FAJ | iDope: working on trying to get onto my laptop from my desktop... but currently b/c i don't have samba i don't think it's enabled. pretty sure i have ssh however. | 01:35 |
| pookie_ | ZykoticK9: see what sorry? | 01:35 |
| IdleOne | hiexpo: heya | 01:36 |
| iDope | ok... | 01:36 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:36 |
| FAJ | iDope: yes i do, but currently ports not enabled for ssh.... | 01:36 |
| FAJ | wait... | 01:36 |
| FAJ | maybe it is. | 01:36 |
| pookie_ | ZykoticK9: this is connected to my TV...its hard to read. | 01:36 |
| ChogyDan | pookie_: yeah, that's a problem. It just takes so much darn testing to get everything right | 01:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | FAJ: Samba works well enough for movin files around, but if you want to connect from outside your lan (ie, from a cafe, airport, etc) I would recommend sticking to SSH | 01:36 |
| Sylphid | iDope, netcat | 01:36 |
| Scouris | Guest31920, does your wireless router have MAC security activated? Where it allows/denies access based on your MAC address? | 01:36 |
| Sylphid | iDope, http://deice.daug.net/netcat_speed.html | 01:36 |

| Klevi | ChogyDan, its NBR im on, running 10.4 | 01:38 |
| quietone | How do I get my external monitor back? It was there a few hours ago. Then I disconnected and reinserted HDMI cable and monitor gone. Reboot and still not there. | 01:38 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: are you getting readings on Input Level? | 01:38 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, nope | 01:38 |
| ChogyDan | pookie_: is there a bug report? | 01:38 |
| johnny_buffalo | Have a problem that occured after changing DVD drive. Drive no longer mounts. Device is recognized in Dmesg, but has no listing (dev/sr0) | 01:39 |
| pookie_ | ChogyDan: 6 million of them? | 01:39 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: then I don't know. Might be a bug | 01:39 |
| arpa | Hey, I installed postfix + SASL on my ubuntu box, getting emails works 100%, sending out emails does not work. i'm getting "554 5.7.1 - Relay access denied". Any ideas what the problem could be? (main.cf = http://pastebin.com/uEzkMWjN). Thanks! | 01:39 |
| pookie_ | ChogyDan: Cisco VPN also doesn't work. | 01:39 |
| iDope | FAJ: hmmm thought so.. its outdated as far as the commandline options go too | 01:39 |
| pookie_ | requires tuning kernel paramters...using applications other than the network-manager | 01:39 |
| pookie_ | VPN = EPIC fail in ubuntu. | 01:39 |
| unsure | what is epic?? | 01:39 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, will reinstall skype anyway and see if itll let me choose a default sound driver other than Pulse | 01:39 |
| EzeQL | pookie_ I dont know how to fix this :( , i've added the service with this line service resman start | 01:40 |
| unsure | Klevi wait | 01:40 |
| _Ba_ | how do I install flash player for ubuntu 64 lucid ? | 01:40 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: you probably have to get it working in the sound prefs though | 01:40 |
| FAJ | iDope: my repoes aren't establishing here...... somethings seriously up with the wifi... | 01:40 |
| pookie_ | EzeQL: gksudo gnome-terminal -e service resman start | 01:40 |
| iDope | FAJ: try this aptitude install ssh. Does it say its already installed or does it say it will have to download and install something? | 01:40 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, Probably. Unsure, what is it? | 01:40 |
| IdleOne | _Ba_: install flashplugin-installer | 01:40 |
| unsure | Klevi, skype, edit, preferences, (aka tools options) audio section, the available ones should be listed there | 01:40 |
| EzeQL | why gksudo instead sudo | 01:40 |
| iDope | well its either your wifi or your internet connection... we just need to find out which one it is. | 01:40 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:41 |

| unsure | phoenix_srv, no, your specs? | 01:42 |
| pookie_ | so ya, as usual..nobody helps with my problem :p | 01:42 |
| unsure | pookie_, what is your issue again? | 01:42 |
| Klevi | Unsure, that was the first thing i looked for lol ive tried gstreamer-properties and it works there under pulse audio which skype has selected and is the only choice there. I get incoming/outgoing video but only incoming audio. the party im talking with hears only a highpitch whine from me | 01:42 |
| * pookie_ deletes ubuntu. It's USELESS if I can't get this tv tuner working. | 01:42 | |
| iDope | FAJ: then try this from your desktop "scp /boot/initrd.img* <yourusername>@<your-laptops-ip>:/tmp " | 01:42 |
| unsure | pookie_, tv tuner? its model / specs? | 01:42 |
| pookie_ | unsure: Hauppauge 1250 tv tuner, drivers loaded. /dev/dvb/adapter0 exists. | 01:42 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:43 |
| ChogyDan | Klevi: another option is to just use gtalk from google | 01:43 |
| iDope | it should ask you for your laptop username's password. And then it will transfer the file.. and show the speed tooo | 01:43 |
| pookie_ | thats as far as I get. | 01:43 |
| hiexpo | pookey, - :) | 01:43 |
| phoenix_srv | unsure: 4GB DDR2-800, 2.2Ghz pentium dual core, 512MB 4500 series GPU | 01:43 |
| johnny_buffalo | I would check if the TV card is support prior to using it in linux | 01:43 |
| phoenix_srv | it's not a terribly slow/old system | 01:43 |
| phoenix_srv | and grub from ubuntu 9.10 was fine | 01:43 |
| hiexpo | oops | 01:43 |
| Klevi | ChogyDan, Id rather not switch from skype... as thats my phone service other than my cellphone | 01:43 |
| iDope | if its anything slower than 800 KB/s.. then its definitely your wifi which is causing the problem | 01:43 |
| pookie_ | no channels can be found on the device... | 01:43 |
| Sylphid | iDope, scp requires ssh which was unavailable as i recall | 01:43 |
| phoenix_srv | but the new one, it's really slow getting to ubuntu (though once it reaches there, it boots within around 3 seconds), and it hangs and never gets to windows 7 | 01:43 |
| hiexpo | pookie_, - :) | 01:43 |
| pookie_ | no singal via mythtv | 01:43 |
| pookie_ | hiexpo: :> | 01:43 |
| chx | hi. since i upped to lucid, X does not register mouse clicks any more :( | 01:44 |
| iDope | Sylphid: well FAJ claims its there.. | 01:44 |
| FAJ | iDope: connection refused.... but i dont think i am set up for ssh to laptop | 01:44 |
| chx | i can run xev switch to the window with keyboard, nada | 01:44 |
| johnny_buffalo | Klevi skype works nicely in xubuntu with a standard headset (non-usb) | 01:44 |
| iDope | hmmm FAJ then you don't have sshd (the server) installed | 01:44 |
| chx | tried unplugging mouse, replugging, tried the trackpoint in the laptop, nada | 01:44 |
| blbrown | I have "turn off display in 30 minutes" enabled but the display does not turn off. This is with my recent upgrade to Lucid Lynx | 01:44 |
| chx | Intel 4500MHD chip | 01:44 |
| iDope | btw the desktop also has internet right? | 01:44 |
| Sylphid | iDope, is the concern upload or download | 01:44 |
| FAJ | iDope: install ssh now | 01:44 |
| pookie_ | unsure: I've tried EVERYTHING. even stuff that makes absolutely no sense. lol | 01:45 |
| Klevi | johnny_buffalo, am using NBR... everything is built into this laptop | 01:45 |
| FAJ | iDope: well yes,,,,, it says it has internet... but i cannot get onto internet, or update packages | 01:45 |
| FAJ | iDope: same thing, even after ssh installed, no route to host. | 01:45 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:45 |
| iDope | Sylphid: his internet is painfully slow for some odd reason.. and he thinks its related to ubuntu 10.04 | 01:45 |
| unsure | pookie_, rebooting doesnt help either? | 01:45 |
| pookie_ | FAJ sounds like an MTU problem. | 01:45 |
| pookie_ | cal your ISP ? | 01:46 |
| pookie_ | unsure: no. | 01:46 |
| FAJ | pookie_: sound greek to me ;) | 01:46 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, what type of service do you have? | 01:46 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: using wifi...? | 01:46 |
| Guest31920 | Hey can someone help me connect to my wpa2 network? I have the correct key and it connects to my network and gets stuck at the 2 dots and a line circling around them | 01:46 |
| pookie_ | FAJ far from. :) But you can imagine i am. | 01:46 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, is it DSL ... cable... fiber | 01:47 |
| iDope | pookie_: he meant he doesn't have the faintest idea what MTU means.. | 01:47 |
| unsure | pookie_, oh, Hauppauge 1250 tv tuner, drivers loaded. /dev/dvb/adapter0 exists. The tv tuner does not work even after reboot. ok please hang on | 01:47 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: cable.... right now over wifi however. | 01:47 |

| onetinsoldier | when i use fwbuilder to create a firewall in Lucid Lynx, it crashes when i try to save what i made. so i never get a .fwb file saved, let alone compile and install the firewall script since it's crashing. anyone have any idea? or use fwbuilder and is having the same issue so i know i'm not alone? ;-) | 01:47 |
| hiexpo | Guest31920, - wpa supplicant | 01:47 |
| iDope | FAJ: but your desktop is connected via wired cable right? | 01:47 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, not likely an MTU issue then as they usually only occur on PPP connections | 01:48 |
| FAJ | iDope: no | 01:48 |
| johnny_buffalo | Klevi skype is aware of issues with ubuntu (emailed them several times). I ended up buying a 2.5mm jack headset and it fixed most of my problems | 01:48 |
| iDope | FAJ: that has a wifi card too? | 01:48 |
| test34 | Guest31920, System - Administration - Log file viewer might help you | 01:48 |

| pookie_ | IdleOne: actually, if you read the rest of that post...someone makes note of that. | 01:54 |
| cmpsalvestrini | jimerickson: something similar happened to me with an ATI driver, logging to a text console and editing the xorg config to use "nv" driver and then reinstalling the proprietary nvidia driver may do the trick. | 01:54 |

| Las1 | neverblue: no, normal install | 02:08 |
| Las1 | neverblue: just started recently | 02:08 |
| neverblue | draginx: do you want to add to /etc/apt/sources.list instead ? | 02:08 |
| martianixor | U-b-u-n-t-u: for sure, my guess was that the forum was where I found the number of files note | 02:08 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04). For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support. | 02:09 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | martianixor, sounds like we had different issues sorry I couldnt help... | 02:09 |
| gizmobay | yes, when booting | 02:09 |
| martianixor | U-b-u-n-t-u: actually I'll check startup as well ... | 02:09 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | ok | 02:09 |
| gizmobay | no when logging out | 02:09 |
| martianixor | U-b-u-n-t-u: No on the contrary thanks for replying :-) | 02:09 |
| gizmobay | have to ssh in and sudo reboot | 02:09 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | martianixor, I used boot manager so I could kill them at the time I removed them so I could watch the cpu | 02:09 |
| andres_ | which tool do you recommend nagios or wireshark | 02:10 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | martianixor, I wish you luck | 02:10 |
| pookie_ | andres_: they both serve very different purposes. depends on what you are trying to do. | 02:10 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Whenever I attempt to install a new package I receive this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xn9gfKH0 - Does anybody know what's up? | 02:10 |
| FoxWolf | hmm, im bored. are there any apps that i should download for linux? | 02:10 |
| CogitoErgoSam | gizmobay: I'm not sure if its the "right" way to fix it, but you could probably add something to /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default - its the script that runs when a user ends a session | 02:11 |
| FoxWolf | ubuntu* | 02:11 |
| ChogyDan | SealedWithAKiss: do you want fglrx installed? | 02:11 |
| Streetboys | ok thanksss | 02:11 |
| Streetboys | problem solve | 02:11 |
| CogitoErgoSam | gizmobay: you'd probably have to restart gdm for it to take effect, which would restart your session | 02:11 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ChogyDan, nopeee the Vidalia bundle. | 02:11 |
| ridz16 | hey yall | 02:11 |
| fausto | Anyone knows how can I install the wifi driver (b43) without an internet connection? The "hardware drivers" gui doesn't offers any offline option. | 02:11 |
| ghost_ | my s video on tv is black and white how do I change it to color? | 02:11 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, use an ethernet | 02:11 |
| gdfuego | hey folks, do you know if anyone else is experiencing soft lockups after an upgrade to lucid? | 02:11 |
| ridz16 | i got a question, any linux expert here? | 02:11 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: when i try and update it always stays stuck on 'waiting of headers' | 02:11 |
| haavaros | I'm using xfce, and haven't even got gnome, so why does update manager suggest gnome-relevant updates, and how do I disable it? | 02:11 |
| gizmobay | what should I add? | 02:11 |
| ChogyDan | SealedWithAKiss: vidalia? I dunno, but you may get it working by removing fglrx.prerm | 02:11 |
| andres_ | i have a little doubt, because i want to check the packets in my laptop but i do not have enough knowledge about it | 02:11 |
| fausto | FoxWolf: I don't have ethernet | 02:11 |
| ridz16 | i got a question, any linux expert here? | 02:12 |
| un214 | try also removing and reinstalling xorg-driver-fglrx | 02:12 |
| haavaros | !ask | ridz16 | 02:12 |
| ubottu | ridz16: 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. :-) | 02:12 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, you should get one they are really cheap | 02:12 |
| un214 | SealedWithAKiss: try also removing and reinstalling xorg-driver-fglrx | 02:12 |
| FoxWolf | also | 02:12 |
| hiexpo | ghost_, we need to know what wireless card and the model and version of it | 02:12 |
| pookie_ | andres_: then wireshark should be used. | 02:12 |
| peleg | I have started a fresh install (from cd), again, this time without playing with partitions. For 20 minutes (+/-) now it is on 0% on "removing conflicting operating system files..." - do you think it is ok? Should I worry / do something? It doesn't look like it is going somewhere... | 02:12 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, im trying to find a reference but i dont believe installing wicd removes network manager | 02:12 |
| martianixor | U-b-u-n-t-u: with 9.10 I tried to replace Nautilus with pcmanfm it was very light weight, that was when I could kill nautilus now I'm unable to even kill nautilus and gvfsd-metadata, that got me interested to figure out why is that behaviour is present in the first place | 02:12 |
| gdfuego | It has been working great on my laptops, but I upgraded my server and now it locks up on boot with "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s!" | 02:12 |
| pookie_ | andres_: nagios will not analyze the payload of the packets. | 02:12 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, if you have a router you have internet, just borrow it for a little bit (unless you have ADSL) | 02:12 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: yes... yes it does. | 02:12 |
| FAJ | they cannot exist together.... | 02:12 |
| ChogyDan | FoxWolf: http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2010/04/ubuntu-1004-post-install-guide-what-to.html | 02:12 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: ergo nm got removed... by me. | 02:12 |
| fausto | FoxWolf: the problem is my router's ehternet port is broken | 02:12 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, im pretty sure that uninstalling wicd and rebooting reinstates nm | 02:13 |
| martianixor | U-b-u-n-t-u: but anyway ... :-) good luck for you too | 02:13 |
| dominicdinada | !virbr | 02:13 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, do you have adsl or cable | 02:13 |
| FoxWolf | thanks ChogyDan | 02:13 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, i know they cannot run simultaniously but I believe they both can be installed | 02:13 |
| fausto | FoxWolf: adsl | 02:13 |
| ridz16 | on the GRUB screen I pick which one I should load, then I pick either window 7 or Ubuntu 10, after that I see a black screen with "I" on it blinking, it does that for like... 10-15 seconds, how do I remove it so when I pick ubuntu or win7 to load it goes to the log in screen? | 02:13 |
| ghost_ | i have dsl | 02:13 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: i installed nm | 02:13 |

| andres_ | really, ok i am goint to download it | 02:14 |

| FoxWolf | fausto, you are telling me all 4 of the ports on the ADSL are broken? | 02:14 |
| djbeenie_ | hey guys how do I play wmv files? | 02:14 |
| djbeenie_ | I have vlc installed | 02:14 |
| martianixor | U-b-u-n-t-u: Oh do you think it might be "user folders update"? | 02:14 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ridz: send me a PM and I'll help you with that grub setting | 02:15 |
| n06 | is there a way to repair the EFI after installing GRUB to /dev/sda on an apple? | 02:15 |
| pookie_ | djbeenie_: if you use the gnome/ubuntu provided media player it will prompt you to install the correct codec. | 02:15 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ChogyDan, it's only been giving me this error since I upgraded to 10.04 | 02:15 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, oop sorry told you the wrong package name | 02:15 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ChogyDan, where can I find fglrx.postrm ? | 02:15 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, apt-cache showpkg network-manager-gnome | 02:15 |
| haavaros | I'm using xfce, and haven't even got gnome, so why does update manager suggest gnome-relevant updates, and how do I disable it? | 02:15 |
| fausto | FoxWolf: belive me, ethernet is not an option (at least not an easy one). So there is no way of intalling the wifi driver offline? | 02:15 |
| djbeenie_ | pookie_, it said it couldnt find one | 02:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | dejbeenie: The best way to get the different codecs is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras from the software center, synaptic, or command line | 02:15 |
| hiexpo | if anyone needs to know why wifi does not work we can answer your ? but we need to know what brand model number and the version of it to make it work every card has a differant chipset in it | 02:16 |
| ChogyDan | SealedWithAKiss: /var/cache/dpkg/info maybe? | 02:16 |
| CogitoErgoSam | dejbeenie: that will get you the whole package of diff codecs | 02:16 |
| FAJ | Sylphid: what am i lookin for? | 02:16 |
| ChogyDan | SealedWithAKiss: try using locate | 02:16 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, do you have any other device that can connect to the internet? | 02:16 |
| FoxWolf | and fausto how are you on the internet now? | 02:16 |

| fausto | FoxWolf: I'm using wifi now. But I want to do a clean lucid install and for this I need a way of installing the wifi driver later | 02:19 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ridz16: I started a PM with ya | 02:19 |
| pookie_ | djbeenie_: have you played this file before? | 02:19 |
| djbeenie_ | pookie, i have in windows, not in linux | 02:19 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, create a partition, and download the drivers to that partition, then when you do a clean install you can access the file you downloaded | 02:19 |
| Sylphid | FAJ, yes but i dont know the deb config line off the top of my head | 02:19 |
| FoxWolf | or fausto you can have a dual boot | 02:20 |
| juanca | I'm trying sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup but i get sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, can anyone help me? | 02:20 |
| airtonix | fausto, /home on a seperate partition makes reinstalls easy and clean. | 02:20 |
| fausto | FoxWolf: but I don't know what I need to download, the "hardware drivers" gui doesn't specify what I need | 02:20 |
| fausto | airtonix: I already have home on a separate partition | 02:21 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, what are you using? a laptop or a netbook? and what is thename of your wifi device? | 02:21 |
| airtonix | fausto, also. for this scenario just download the ndissrapper debs then grab the windows drivers for your wifi card | 02:21 |
| mj8741 | Hi everyone. with Ubuntu 10.04 - after clicking install without trying - just blank screen. Graphic is nvidia geforce 6150 le | 02:21 |
| airtonix | fausto, ndiswrapper* | 02:21 |
| fausto | airtonix: I don't want to use nsdiswraper, the opensource b43 driver is better | 02:22 |
| hiexpo | 1ndiswrapper \ fausto | 02:22 |
| CogitoErgoSam | mj8741: Installing from a cd? | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | NerdsMcGee: update-grub should pick up Windows automatically, unless you installed the EFI version of windows. | 02:22 |
| airtonix | fausto, its also more difficult to manually obtain all the bits for | 02:22 |
| mj8741 | cd install - yes | 02:22 |
| fausto | FoxWolf: the device is a broadcom, it uses the open source b43 driver, but needs a proprietary firmware | 02:22 |
| NerdsMcGee | Jordan_U: I ran os-prober, and it found it, but how do I edit the menu? Apparently I'm not supposed to edit grub.cfg? | 02:22 |
| CogitoErgoSam | mj8741: Before you burned the cd did you check the md5 to make sure it verified? | 02:22 |
| FoxWolf | fausto, wouldnt know then | 02:22 |
| Jordan_U | NerdsMcGee: Just run "sudo update-grub" | 02:22 |
| airtonix | fausto, when you are reinstalled and running again then you can remove the ndis drivers and instal b43 again | 02:23 |
| hiexpo | oh geez | 02:23 |
| NerdsMcGee | Jordan_U: No, I did that, I mean customize the entries. | 02:23 |
| mj8741 | cd checked - yes, is fine | 02:23 |

| Silly | I have a desktop machine with a wireless card. I generally don't have a monitor attached and access this machine through ssh. I want this machine to conect to my appartments wifi internet service automatically. I can't seem to figure out how to keep the wireless card connected to the network and ignore all other wifi networks. | 02:33 |
| shishire | quietone, are you sure you don't have it set as a secondary display? As opposed to mirroring? | 02:33 |
| Silly | Every 10 minutes or so the card seems to disconnect (and the network leaves the little menu in network manager) and I have to tell it to reconnect to a hiden network with the wifi network name to get it to reconnect. I have tried setting the allow this network to be accessed from all users but it didn't seem to have any effect that I could see. What should I do? | 02:33 |

| CogitoErgoSam | crazy6: In the Software Sources control panel, click on the "Download from" menu, and select other. This will open up a new window with lists of mirrors, and a button named "Select Best Server" | 02:45 |
| CogitoErgoSam | crazy6: If you click that button, it will ping the list of mirrors and select the best one for you | 02:46 |
| CogitoErgoSam | crazy6: However, just because that mirror is the best right now doesn't mean it will be the most consistent, so its usually best to change your source back to the main server after you're done | 02:46 |

| mae_tae | bazhang, do you have idea about it? | 03:17 |
| h00k | kerog1: I would definitely not stop it, it might be moving data if necessary when resizing or something | 03:17 |
| mezquitale | kerog1, did you back up your files ? | 03:17 |
| W43372 | For about the last week anything flash based in firefox hasn't had sound, youtube, google voice, any of it. What do I do to fix it? | 03:17 |
| kerog1 | Ah, it just spit out an error. It says an error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted | 03:18 |
| klh | mezquitale check out swftools | 03:18 |
| mae_tae | what topic will i search in google? | 03:18 |
| RedXIII`Alt | Is there a better way to recursevly grep for a file name than piping 'find' results to grep? | 03:18 |

| bazhang | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN mae_tae this? | 03:19 |
| alex87 | as linux users do you find you are more averse to online apps? | 03:19 |
| mezquitale | klh, i will, thanks! | 03:19 |
| mae_tae | ok | 03:19 |
| _pg_ | how do i enable compiz or composting in lxde? | 03:19 |
| bazhang | alex87, is that related to Ubuntu support , or a poll | 03:19 |
| mezquitale | kerog1, first back up all your data, then defrag your hard drive, and run a scandisk, then try resizing again | 03:19 |
| primordialstew | need help logging in as root; I could do this (and sudo from my user acct) I swear | 03:20 |
| soreau | _pg_: Just install compiz and run it | 03:20 |
| primordialstew | currently says I'm not in sudoers file | 03:20 |
| alex87 | bazhang: sorry, probably doesn't belong here | 03:20 |
| primordialstew | and that my root authentication fails | 03:20 |
| bazhang | alex87, try #ubuntu-offtopic please | 03:20 |
| alex87 | bazhang: thanks | 03:20 |
| mae_tae | bazhang, using VPN, do you think i can able to configure remotely? | 03:20 |
| soreau | _pg_: You will probably want to install a decorator too, like emerald so you can have window borders | 03:20 |
| kerog1 | mezquitale crap, under the partition manager it now says its empty, let's see what happens when I boot into an os | 03:20 |
| rootlinuxusr | monitor works fine in Win, when I boot to Ubuntu(after upgrade from 9.10) the entire viewing area is "wobbly" I assume this is an X11 setting, but where should I look? | 03:21 |
| kerog1 | its mostly media though, so like 300+gb of backing up is not really an option right now | 03:21 |
| theGman | Ok, I was right in the middle of the upgrade where it was installing all the stuff it dowbloaded and it locked up...ok, so I rebooted but now my boot hangs at the gkrellm daemon...how can I remove that so it can continue? | 03:21 |
| _pg_ | soreau, i have both installed already it doesnt seem to use them. and when i do anything in emerald it crashes | 03:21 |

| hornets | mdel: lol, I've installed Monaco.. but it doesn't work fine here | 03:23 |
| hornets | maybe is ubuntu fault? | 03:23 |
| wildbat | anyone know how do is set the menu bind to just <super> key instead of <alt>+F1? | 03:23 |
| Streetboys | http://esoriano.wordpress.com/ | 03:23 |
| theGman | wildbat: Yeah, but when it drops to a root prompt and asks for the root pword it's not letting me type it. | 03:23 |
| _pg_ | soreau, whoa. a ton of stuff changed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/428020/ | 03:24 |
| wildbat | theGman, you set a root password?~ | 03:24 |

| oblib | Help. I updated to Lucid Lynx and now many of my start up scripts don't run the daemons they are supposed to (apache, courier imap, even cron). Why? | 03:26 |
| morg | I can't switch the ttys with Ctrl+Alt+F1-F7 Oô If I push Ctrl+Alt+F1, my cursor hides and I can't use my keyboard, but see all programs and so on... if I go to Ctrl+Alt+F7 again, all is okay... | 03:26 |
| theGman | rafaelsoaresbr: It should have installed grub there when you installed. :) | 03:26 |
| wildbat | CogitoErgoSam, the system want <super>+ something but i want just the super~ | 03:26 |
| hornets | did it. | 03:27 |

| theGman | Can someone tell me how I can remove a daemon (it hangs at boot) in a system I can't boot into? | 03:28 |
| mdel | hornets: nice | 03:28 |
| CogitoErgoSam | wildbat: I'm looking around but I bet there's a way to set the hotkey somewhere in the gconf settings (in ~/.gconf/) | 03:28 |
| CogitoErgoSam | wildbat: If I find it I'll let ya know | 03:28 |
| oblib | theGman, maybe remove its startup script from /etc/init | 03:29 |
| grubvictim_ | anybody got any advice, whenever i try to boot into win7 it just reloads grub2 | 03:29 |
| G-man | ? | 03:29 |
| theGman | rafaelsoaresbr: Unfortunately you have done things completely backwards. :( When you install windows it is going to install to the hd0,0 mbr and you will never see your ubuntu install unless you boot to a resc cd and re-install grub. | 03:29 |

| Prez00 | ok guys, going nuts here... upgraded to 10.04 from karmic and the new kernel does not boot, to be fair at first reboot it booted an old custom kernel, isntead of new one.. | 03:31 |
| Prez00 | I can boot from an old 2.6.31 kernel | 03:32 |
| amabo | how do i restart the power manager? | 03:32 |
| wildbat | theGman, you can always boot to liveCD and change the shadow file or root back to ! , and i change my root passwd to @123 , and boot recovery ~ it is ok to type@123 ~ just it won't show **** | 03:32 |

| SealedWithAKiss | How do I install the Java plugin for Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04? | 03:34 |
| h00k | ubottu: java | SealedWithAKiss | 03:34 |
| ubottu | SealedWithAKiss: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository (!partner repository in Lucid) | 03:34 |
| soreau | _pg_: Yea so if you're on lucid, this looks normal. and you will have to start this command every time or put it in your startup session | 03:34 |
| _pg_ | soreau, it was ubuntu and ive installed lxde on top. does that matter? | 03:35 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | SealedWithAKiss: activate partner repository | 03:35 |
| theGman | wildbat: But if one could change it to @123 then why can't I type MY root pass that starts with @ ? | 03:35 |
| soreau | _pg_: It does because you have to find out how that DE does session startup | 03:35 |
| SealedWithAKiss | rafaelsoaresbr, how do I do that? | 03:35 |
| soreau | _pg_: I haven't used it so I don't know | 03:36 |
| kerog1 | Phew no data loss | 03:36 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | SealedWithAKiss: system -> admin -> synaptc | 03:36 |
| _pg_ | soreau, allrighty then. thanks!. any hints for emerald? | 03:36 |
| wildbat | theGman, i have not idea ~ :> may be you have sticky key or different key map? ~ anyway editing shadow file can set you back to no passwd for root | 03:36 |
| morg_ | I can't switch the ttys with Ctrl+Alt+F1-F7 Oô If I push Ctrl+Alt+F1, my cursor hides and I can't use my keyboard, but see all programs and so on... if I go to Ctrl+Alt+F7 again, all is okay... | 03:37 |

| dos000 | onetinsoldier, ah! i did not know that | 04:00 |
| onetinsoldier | dos000: roger. if you use -9, that's not default | 04:01 |

| Guest35590 | hi, i tried upgrading to 10.04 and i got an error about libc6 and the upgrade had to terminate. i think rebooted and all commands on the command line give seg faults. I think I need to fix the libc6 package, but I don't know how to do that with the LiveCD, I booted with LiveCD and mounted my box and then did chroot, but all the commands still segaulted , of course. any ideas? | 04:19 |
| wolf_pup | anyone know why /etc/rc.local is ignoring sleep cmds? | 04:20 |
| psusi | wolf_pup, it isn't? | 04:21 |
| wolf_pup | it is | 04:21 |
| psusi | wolf_pup, what makes you think so? | 04:21 |
| wolf_pup | tried diff cmds with sleep, ignores sleep =( | 04:22 |

| wildbat | Guest35590, try cp the /usr/lib from the LiveCD over to your hd one ~ backup frist as always~ | 04:23 |
| psusi | wolf_pup, what makes you think the sleep was ignored? you aren't there to watch | 04:23 |
| Guest35590 | wildbat: thanks, i will try that. i did try to copy over /bin, but those all still segfaulted. /usr/lib makes more sense | 04:23 |
| Guest35590 | will back upt too | 04:23 |

| bootstrap | hololight, yes you can, my friend did it, I can't help beyond letting you know you can do it. my friend is on vacation, i'll shoot him an email. you need to select the sd in bios, or as my friend did and use a usb sd (as he was looking for easy mobility) | 04:27 |

| poohstix | y007ghg7: by any change is the partition full? That will prevent you from being able to write. | 04:46 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | y007ghg7: create the file on dektop or home and then ALT+F2 gksudo nautilus, that will let you copy to /etc | 04:47 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Guest54869: You mean where it downloads packages to? It installs files in packages depending on the packages requirements. You can use synaptic itself and look at a packages properties and see what files it put on your machine and where it put them. | 04:53 |

| siavashserver | sorry, bad place for discussing. we are going to release a commercial game, and we are going to use an opensource lib that it's licensed under gpl2 . can we use that lib for free in our engine or there is conflicts? | 05:01 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | bippity: System->Admin->System monitor, find skype and kill it. | 05:01 |
| NerdsMcGee | Any idea why rhythmbox is segfaulting on libusb? | 05:01 |
| h00k | so_what: was it working previously? | 05:01 |

| Guest40186 | What is the name of that audio editing software? | 05:02 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | NerdsMcGee: if you have a new bug then perhaps you should report with "ubuntu-bug rhythmbox"? | 05:02 |
| h00k | Guest40186: Audacity? | 05:02 |
| bippity | Which? | 05:02 |
| silentx | onetinsoldier, thanks a lot but it hanged three times when i install it .. | 05:02 |
| Guest40186 | Yeah, thanks much. | 05:02 |
| Flynsarmy | greezmunkey, ok. if my laptop explodes i know who to blame :) | 05:02 |
| bippity | Lol | 05:02 |
| Guest40186 | It's audacity | 05:02 |
| NerdsMcGee | I can't tell though. It pops the window up and segfaults | 05:02 |
| greezmunkey | bippity: right click on the panel across the top of your screen, select add to panel, look for force quit, and click o.k | 05:02 |
| onetinsoldier | silentx: hmmm, interesting | 05:02 |
| onetinsoldier | silentx: don't know why | 05:03 |
| h00k | so_what: perhaps check the Software Center and ensure it is installed properly | 05:03 |
| silentx | onetinsoldier, thanks .. bbye .. | 05:03 |

| iflema | so_what i never have any trouble...... I dont use whats in the repositories, I create a folder ~/.mozilla/plugins and manually extract/add the flash .so file. The way its supposed to be done........ if you use 64bit... then get the 64bit plugin....... | 05:05 |
| IdleOne | !wfm | 05:06 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 05:06 |
| greezmunkey | IdleOne: Am I guilty for telling Flynsarmy that my virtualbox still works for me after an upgrade? ;) | 05:07 |
| y007ghg7 | yeah the alt + f2 thiong didnt work | 05:08 |
| so_what | iflema: i did that you told me but it does not worked for me. It says that you dont have installed flash. :( so i go to synaptic and i install flashplugin-nonfree. It was worked for 5 days. But now when i open my pc i see that is not working. :( | 05:08 |

| uLinux | LimeWire doesn't connect... why? | 05:08 |
| iflema | so_what all other versions must be uninstalled...... and its ~/.mozilla/plugins | 05:08 |
| y007ghg7 | LinuxGuy2009; no but the firefox wont find my bookmarks | 05:09 |
| so_what | iflema: i know . i have remove every package from synaptic. but it does not worked for me. | 05:09 |
| Webtester01 | I have a ssh server set up and I do remote support, I want to know if I can have the user ssh to the server for VNC purposes, and have my VNC viwer connect to my server and have the server foward the ports to the client. | 05:09 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | y007ghg7: Yeah that bites. Thats why I switched to chrome for the bookmark syncing. | 05:09 |
| y007ghg7 | there is chrome in ubuntu? | 05:10 |
| iflema | so_what OK | 05:10 |
| binil | nop | 05:10 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | y007ghg7: cool | 05:10 |
| Webtester01 | y007ghg7, There is a chrome beta for linux. | 05:10 |
| IdleOne | y007ghg7: it's called chromium-browser | 05:10 |
| greezmunkey | Webtester01: I'm thinking that won't work, you would have to have a tunnel of some sort for VNC to do that. | 05:11 |
| Agrajag- | costre: sorry, was away for a bit. have you found a solution for it? i know it wasn't happening in 9.10, but is in 10.04 | 05:11 |
| y007ghg7 | but why i am tring to get my bookmarks back is i have windows and ubuntu on the same hdd and i am tring to copy my bookmarks off windows to ubuntu | 05:11 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 can someone explain to y007ghg7 how to log in as root?? firefox new profile etc should be easy! | 05:11 |
| y007ghg7 | because windows wont boot | 05:11 |
| h00k | !root | 05:12 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:12 |
| so_what | iflema h00k : I take this error from terminal when i open the firefox and i go to a flash site : LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/yusuf/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/home/yusuf/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64] | 05:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | y007ghg7: Did you try safe mode? | 05:12 |
| Webtester01 | greezmunkey: That is an idea I had: Customer -<-> server <--> me | 05:12 |
| y007ghg7 | yes | 05:12 |
| y007ghg7 | it has a virus that evds the system processes | 05:12 |
| y007ghg7 | ends* | 05:12 |
| Webtester01 | Some customers are behind firewalls.. etc. | 05:12 |
| unsure | LinuxGuy2009 windows wont boot he is migrrating the profile safe mode is not relevant | 05:12 |
| h00k | so_what: I'm not sure, perhaps uninstall and reinstall it | 05:12 |
| gaelfx | I was wondering how the nouveau drivers do if you're hooked up to an HDTV via HDMI? Are there any audio issues and how's the quality? | 05:12 |
| greezmunkey | Webtester01: check this out, it may be possible after all! : http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/ssh-tunnel.html | 05:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | y007ghg7: If you use Chrome or Firefox(make sure you have the correct plugin or whatever installed for firefox) you can sync your bookmarks to your gmail or ubuntu-one accounts. | 05:12 |
| unsure | !root | y007ghg7 | 05:12 |
| ubottu | y007ghg7: 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 | 05:12 |
| unsure | oh | 05:13 |
| Webtester01 | Thanks, greezmunkey! | 05:13 |
| greezmunkey | Webtester01: you would have to take that example and make it work for VNC though... | 05:13 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 did you try running sudo firefox -P ? | 05:13 |
| greezmunkey | Webtester01: That's pretty cool, me thinks I'll play with that one. | 05:13 |
| h00k | don't run firefox as sudo | 05:13 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 did you try running sudo something bout nautilus? | 05:13 |
| G-man | can anybody help me get itunes to work on ubuntu | 05:14 |
| h00k | y007ghg7: don't run firefox as root (with sudo) because it will break your permissions | 05:14 |
| h00k | G-man: iTunes will not run on Linux | 05:14 |
| jew_ | itunes does work on linux :) | 05:14 |
| h00k | G-man: alternatively, you can use Rhythmbox to manage your iPods and the Ubuntu One software center to purchase DRM free music | 05:14 |
| so_what | h00k: i re-installed now the flashplugin-nonfree but the problem still... :( | 05:14 |
| onetinsoldier | want root? sudo -i for anything as root on command line. your home is /root and config files created there are persistent. gksu does the same for x-windows stuff. you can even run nautilus as root with 'gksu' | 05:14 |
| G-man | whats the sudo for rhythmbox | 05:14 |
| y007ghg7 | im sad that my ipod wont work with rythembox | 05:14 |
| G-man | sudo apt-get install rhythmbox? | 05:15 |

| h00k | y007ghg7: I think that should work now in 10.04 | 05:15 |
| G-man | nice | 05:15 |
| y007ghg7 | i have a ipod shuffle 3rd generation | 05:15 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 05:18 |
| y007ghg7 | it let me copy everything | 05:18 |
| cobra-the-joker | acerimmer ,ok . thank you | 05:18 |
| gaelfx | econtomawesome: tarball is a compressed file, maybe something inside it is for installation, but there may be a better way | 05:18 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 so now you have windows profile migrated? | 05:18 |
| y007ghg7 | no | 05:18 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 to the new OS? | 05:18 |
| econtomawesome | !tty h00k | 05:18 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 why? what is the problem? | 05:18 |
| y007ghg7 | firefox dont recognise the bookmarks | 05:18 |
| onetinsoldier | i can tell him how to install tarball here... but i've been told before that it's consider OT for this channel | 05:18 |

| vinpan | i have 3 computers on network, ubuntu,xp,win7, now i can go to xp and see the files but when i go on win7 i go to the folders and it dose not show anything, any ideas? | 05:19 |
| gaelfx | econtomawesome: what are you trying to install? | 05:19 |
| Viking667 | hi all. How do I find what package a particular (old) library is in? | 05:20 |
| crazy6 | ugh maybe I should just back up my home dir and start frmo scratch | 05:20 |
| econtomawesome | gaelfx: google gadgets, at http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/downloads/list | 05:20 |
| h00k | econtomawesome: Google Gadgets are in the repositories | 05:20 |
| y007ghg7 | ok im back | 05:20 |
| gaelfx | vinpan: I have an idea, but it's not a great one. You could set up a LAN-website for file sharing (like do a LAMP stack and create a crummy webpage for listing all the stuff) | 05:20 |
| econtomawesome | h00k thanks | 05:20 |
| gaelfx | econtomawesome: like I said, there's probably a better way ;) | 05:21 |
| y007ghg7 | but my bookmarks didnt inport | 05:21 |
| y007ghg7 | import* | 05:21 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder | 05:21 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder - do you see it? | 05:21 |
| vinpan | thank but i dont want to do that.lol, you think there is a conflict with 10.04 and win7? | 05:22 |
| gaelfx | so has anyone used the nouveau drivers with hdmi yet? does it look pretty good or what? | 05:22 |
| y007ghg7 | yes i copyed it | 05:22 |
| econtomawesome | gaelfx: true, but its about time I've learned how to install one from memory anyhow. Been using Ubuntu now for 1.5 years, done it a few times, but long and ardous to remember how | 05:22 |
| unsure | y007ghg7 try opening places.sqlite with this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817 | 05:22 |
| gaelfx | econtomawesome: yeah, I know what you mean. usually you just have to use gzip with a few options and them make install blah blah blah | 05:23 |
| greezmunkey | Webtester01: You will need to set LocalForward yes for the client connectors to do what you want | 05:23 |
| G-man | whats a good p2p music program that is ubuntu friendly | 05:23 |

| vinpan | dose anyone know if there is issues with networking from 10.04 to win7? | 05:24 |
| econtomawesome | gaelfx: fair enough. I should probably start later in the day | 05:24 |
| gaelfx | G-man: BitTorrent | 05:24 |
| econtomawesome | gaelfx earlier, rather | 05:24 |
| gaelfx | haha, yeah, coffee is your frien | 05:24 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: no, were you using it prior to 10.04? | 05:24 |
| gaelfx | *friend | 05:24 |
| vinpan | it worked fine with 9.04 | 05:25 |
| Canti_ | Is there a way to see old versions of files with the text editor nano? I accidentally over-wrote some fortran source code | 05:25 |
| vinpan | i mean 9.10 | 05:25 |

| D-coy | hi all | 05:25 |
| * Viking667 shudders. Can't be as bad as COBOL | 05:25 | |

| gaelfx | vinpan: are you using SAMBA? | 05:27 |
| vinpan | ubuntu to win7 | 05:27 |
| Zombie_Will | I am also installing win7 | 05:27 |
| gaelfx | Zombie_Will: glad to hear it. should be fun for you D | 05:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Viking667: do you know the name of it? for example... libgif.so.4 | 05:27 |
| vinpan | thats the thing i can get into xp file sharing and i didnt use samba for that | 05:27 |
| Viking667 | yes. | 05:27 |
| Viking667 | libgtk-1.2.so | 05:28 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: ok, open Nautilus find a folder in your home directory that you want to share, right click the icon and select share. | 05:28 |
| Viking667 | You can see what I mean by "old" | 05:28 |
| mdel | i could have sworn that rhythmbox could connect to my itunes share at home | 05:28 |
| Zombie_Will | I'm seeing conficting things with the variuos guides I read about installing both OSs.... anyhelp? :/ | 05:28 |
| mdel | but its not working over VPN | 05:28 |
| Zombie_Will | fresh hard drive :D | 05:28 |
| Zombie_Will | so should make this easier | 05:28 |

| G-man | how do i use the bit torrent for music | 05:28 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: once you have that done, type smbtree in a terminal see what you get. | 05:28 |
| G-man | i hit enter and it does nothing | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Viking667: ok, i usually try 'apt-file'... install it and try it you like. if you give me name i can search for it now if you want | 05:28 |
| Viking667 | I have resources here.. I'll try apt-file. Thanks, I wasn't sure if that command even existed. | 05:29 |
| vinpan | Nautilus? | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Viking667: roger. use my nick to address me if you can | 05:29 |

| Viking667 | dunno. All I know is: I'm trying to run ePSXe and it wants that old lib (and probably other stuff from that era too) | 05:30 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: he's looking for old gtk... libgtk-1.2.so | 05:30 |
| Viking667 | If I can't find it in the repos, I might have to copy them over from my Mandriva machine... yeesh. | 05:31 |

| intok | Viking667 I'm guessing so, as I've got a box with the i845GL chipset that has a weird set of graphics errors http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361 | 05:33 |
| jew_ | well i found one and they said to make another account to mess with | 05:33 |
| * Viking667 goes blank | 05:33 | |
| jew_ | and i did ..and it wont even load it | 05:33 |
| Viking667 | intok: I suspect the 845 is one I've never met. | 05:34 |
| greezmunkey | Viking667: look here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/where-to-find-32bit-libgtk-1-2-so-0-a-754619/ | 05:34 |
| isurit | hello | 05:34 |
| Viking667 | greezmunkey: that may be another option. Thanks. | 05:34 |
| Viking667 | Now, let me clear off from here and go do some of this... | 05:34 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: what did smbtree show you, don't flood-paste here | 05:34 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: did it show you the folder you shared? | 05:35 |
| mdel | can rhythmbox connect to itunes 9 shares?? | 05:35 |
| vinpan | i guess the share folders | 05:35 |
| vinpan | ya | 05:35 |
| crazy6 | is there a file that keeps record of the install packages? maybe I can resolve this byu going in and manually removing it from the list | 05:35 |
| mrbook1 | Why when I boot Ubuntu as guest it asks to be installed. i quit this screen and reboot. It reboots correctly. | 05:35 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: good, samba is working then. Are you running a firewall of any soft on your ubox? | 05:36 |
| luckymurali | Hi all | 05:36 |
| luckymurali | my ubuntu version is 6.0\ | 05:36 |
| vinpan | nope | 05:36 |
| onetinsoldier | crazy6: yes. i've had people do that before. have to be careful though. make a backup of the file first for sure. it's --> /var/lib/dpkg/status | 05:36 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: can you ping the ubox from win7? | 05:36 |
| luckymurali | Im not able to install gpart on it | 05:36 |
| mrbook1 | !webcam | 05:36 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 05:36 |
| luckymurali | even using apt also | 05:37 |
| mrbook1 | !install | 05:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 05:37 |
| luckymurali | gpasrted | 05:37 |
| Viking667 | gparted ... | 05:37 |
| luckymurali | yes | 05:37 |
| vinpan | ok now from win7 i can see the folder | 05:37 |
| vinpan | so it should work now | 05:37 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: problem solved? You just needed a shared folder! :) | 05:38 |
| vinpan | thx for the help bra | 05:38 |
| jew_ | it says this | 05:38 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: :) | 05:38 |
| jew_ | You're not logged in as root, are you? | 05:38 |
| jew_ | Don't operate the computer as the superuser. You should only become the superuser when absolutely necessary. Doing otherwise is dangerous, stupid, and in poor taste. Create a user account for yourself now! | 05:38 |
| luckymurali | the problem is the previous person who worked on that machine made "/" as 17 gb and rest as left | 05:38 |
| jew_ | how do i do that? | 05:38 |
| _pg_ | im using wicd and ubuntu studio x64, I can see wireless networks but i always get "connection failed: unable to get an ip address". it used to work, before I installed E i think. | 05:38 |
| FloodBot1 | jew_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:38 |
| greezmunkey | vinpan: better than bein' called panties ;) | 05:38 |
| luckymurali | I want to gain the space becoz my 17gb almost full | 05:39 |
| luckymurali | give me some ideas | 05:39 |
| z3row3b | has anyone played with cloud servers? | 05:39 |
| mrbook1 | Newbie here and i am really frustrated with ubunti | 05:39 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: what's the problem? | 05:39 |
| greezmunkey | luckymurali: delete some stuff, compress rarely used stuff, add a HDD, ... | 05:39 |
| jew_ | take a look pleaseee http://paste.ubuntu.com/428073/plain/ | 05:40 |
| luckymurali | greezmunkey, hi | 05:40 |
| luckymurali | that is a svn server | 05:40 |
| onetinsoldier | jew_: you probably want to use the 'adduser' command. look at the manual for it with the following command 'man adduser' | 05:40 |
| luckymurali | I cannot delete any stuff | 05:40 |
| _pg_ | im using wicd and ubuntu studio x64, I can see wireless networks but i always get "connection failed: unable to get an ip address". it used to work, before I installed E i think. Prop. broadcom driver is in use. someone please help me. | 05:40 |
| mdel | seems like a simple question.... rhythmbox- can it connect to itunes 9 shares??? | 05:40 |
| mrbook1 | Name it - i got it. 1st I am running ubuntu as a vbox guest running windows xp. When I boot up it asks me to reinstall. I cancell reboot and it's ok | 05:40 |
| luckymurali | so I tried gparted | 05:40 |
| luckymurali | but I m not able to install it | 05:40 |
| codygman | where does ubuntu keep the video cache? | 05:40 |
| phoenix_srv | hey guys, question; i've had ubuntu 9.10, and recently updated to ubuntu 10.04, but it went straight to low graphics mode. So i downloaded the latest nvidia driver and attempted to install it in recovery mode. It gave me an error about being unable to unload nvidia.ko, so I've basically pasted a few things about my PCI devices, nvidia installer logs, loaded modules, etc., so if someone could point some light on the issue, that'd be great. pasted here http | 05:40 |
| jew_ | nothings there | 05:41 |
| z3row3b | mrbook: You're running Ubuntu inside a virtual computer running on top of windows? | 05:41 |
| greezmunkey | luckymurali: whoa slow down there chainsaw, how about you explain your situation, gparted can easily destroy your data if you are not *careful* | 05:41 |
| jew_ | there is no adduser or man adduser | 05:41 |
| phoenix_srv | jew_: could always use useradd | 05:42 |
| luckymurali | yes please advice me | 05:42 |
| mrbook1 | z3row3b: Yes I installed vbox in Windows XP then installed Ubuntu in vobox. | 05:42 |
| onetinsoldier | jew_: there should be. there is on my Ubuntu system | 05:42 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: okay, so you installed ubuntu? As in, the entire installation process completed and it says to reboot into your new installation? | 05:42 |
| arand | mrbook1: Is the ubuntu liveCD iso still attached to the virtualbox machine? | 05:42 |
| z3row3b | arand: Just what I was about to ask. :-) | 05:43 |
| mrbook1 | z3row3b: The only things that work well is the internet.. and firefox. I can't get my webcam to work or the mic - both built in | 05:43 |
| greezmunkey | luckymurali: I'm not sayin' a word until you describe exactly what it is that you need to do. | 05:43 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: Be sure you remove the ISO image from the virtual drive. | 05:43 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: You're using it within a virtual computer -- I doubt it has access to all your peripherals. | 05:43 |
| Naixs | join #ubuntu-cn | 05:43 |
| jew_ | okay i typed in adduser and it sayed only a root user can add a user ..then i typed in man adduser and a bunch of stuff poped up | 05:43 |
| mrbook1 | arand: I download the iso file and used that to install | 05:43 |
| onetinsoldier | jew_: ok | 05:44 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! When I run audacity, it plays about a quarter of a second of the file then stops. What gives? | 05:44 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: That's a side-effect of using a virtual computer. | 05:44 |
| luckymurali | greezmunkey, I have ubuntu 6 installed on it which is acting as a svn server | 05:44 |
| jew_ | now what? | 05:44 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: If you actually ran it in a LiveCD rather than in a virtual system, you'd have better luck, because it'll actually have access to your peripherals. | 05:44 |
| luckymurali | it has 80 gb HDD | 05:44 |
| onetinsoldier | jew_: you can use page-up and page down to browse through a man page. press 'q' to quit out of it | 05:44 |
| mrbook1 | z3row3b: are you saying I may be luckier to install it on it's own partition, | 05:44 |
| luckymurali | they made partition of "/" drive to 17 GB | 05:45 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: Yes. But if you want to use it in VirtualBox, you'll find that you won't have access to all of your computer's hardware because the Vbox is simulating a completely different computer. | 05:45 |
| jew_ | how do i add a user to my computer? | 05:45 |
| arand | jew_: use sudo | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | jew_: if you were want to create a new user, that man page tells you how to use the 'adduser' command to do it | 05:45 |
| mrbook1 | z3row3b; I'll burn a cd and try it on a live cd and see what happens. | 05:45 |
| arand | !sudo | jew_ | 05:45 |
| ubottu | jew_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 05:45 |
| luckymurali | it is almost full now and showing less disk space but If i check for entire disk it having aroung 40 GB free space | 05:45 |
| z3row3b | mrbook1: Sounds good. Any more questions, feel free to contact me. | 05:45 |
| luckymurali | I want to add the free space to the "/" drive | 05:46 |
| unsure | is this a drive?? | 05:46 |
| mrbook1 | z3row3b: Thanks | 05:46 |
| unsure | could be C: or something?? | 05:46 |
| luckymurali | means a partition | 05:46 |
| unsure | still, C:, D:, F:, etc | 05:46 |
| luckymurali | like /./boot etc | 05:46 |
| dsnyders | How do I edit audio files? I used to use audacity but it no longer works. | 05:46 |
| unsure | /./boot?????? is this a path?? | 05:47 |
| jew_ | whats the diff between my account now and a root account? | 05:47 |
| unsure | !root | 05:47 |
| ubottu | 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 | 05:47 |
| unsure | !rootaccount | 05:47 |
| unsure | !rootuser | 05:47 |
| unsure | ummm... | 05:47 |
| dsnyders | jew_, a root account has special privileges. | 05:47 |
| unsure | in one line, root is the user that can do anything with the system | 05:47 |
| jew_ | oh okay ..well since i just started using linux today i shouldnt use root account? lol | 05:48 |
| Silly | root can bring a system it its knees in one fell swoop | 05:48 |
| dsnyders | jew_, By using the sudo command you can grant yourself temporary root privileges. | 05:48 |
| Flannel | jzacsh: Ubuntu uses sudo instead of a root login. Basically, you say "I give myself permission" and then you've got permission for that command | 05:49 |
| onetinsoldier | sudo = super user do | 05:49 |
| crashdata | u can do sudo su | 05:49 |
| binil | how is kubuntu verses ubuntu | 05:49 |
| luckymurali | i saind /,"/boot" etc | 05:49 |
| crashdata | and have permanent root | 05:49 |
| jew_ | well i just want another account on her so i can play with the terminal commands and not hurt anything . every guide i see they say not to use YOUR account to mess with terminals .. | 05:49 |
| jebss | (Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (localhost) | 05:49 |

| red2kic | Hello [Global], what is the best way to set up Xsession autologin? rc.local? minigetty? (In other word, how can I run "startx" automatically? Sane too.) | 05:49 |
| luckymurali | greezmunkey, any tips for me | 05:49 |
| crashdata | red2kic, i dont think rc.local exist on ubuntu | 05:50 |
| dsnyders | !audio | 05:50 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:50 |
| arand | luckymurali: If you have unpartitioned space it should be a rather simple procedure to resize a current partition using a liveCD. | 05:50 |

| greezmunkey | luckymurali: hmm, ok. It sounds to me like you need to do some serious disk maintenance on the server. You may consider using dd to image the existing disk to a new, larger disk. Look here: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/152592, then google for the other tools you'll need to make this all work. | 05:51 |
| crashdata | hmm that didnt exist on 9.04 | 05:51 |
| dsnyders | jew_, the sudo command will prompt you for a password. That is your password, not the root password. | 05:51 |
| crashdata | i guess 10.04 its back | 05:51 |
| phoenix_srv | anyone had a chance to look at my earlier request for help? | 05:51 |

| xxkitexx1 | but it keeps giving me a vcdk error | 05:54 |
| greezmunkey | luckymurali: you will likely be running that of of a live CD, as I said Google for upgrading a hadr drive, but look a several posts before deciding on an approach. | 05:54 |
| ejv | ctrl + l is a super short cut red2kic / phoenix_srv | 05:54 |
| mae_tae | i've tried to type this apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (192.168.4.250), where will i change the settings of that IP? | 05:54 |

| red2kic | crashdata: I'm going to try it. Yes. No gdm or xdm. | 06:00 |
| greezmunkey | crazy6: Your system is running though, right? | 06:00 |
| crazy6 | greezmunkey: yeah, seems to be | 06:00 |
| red2kic | ejv: There are a new feature in nautilus (released in Lucid). F3 (for split-window). Making it easier to manage movies. | 06:00 |
| Guest35590 | test | 06:01 |
| greezmunkey | crazy6: I had the same issue, I'll see If I can find the fix I used, brb | 06:01 |
| xxkitexx1 | this is way to much trouble just to install a driver | 06:01 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, there's no error, it just try to connect to our proxy (192.168.4.250), supposedly it just directly downloaded those listed in source list | 06:01 |
| qwm | someone wish me luck. i've removed shitloads of programs (somehow a the whole lot of xfce and kde packages had found their way into my system), and now i intend to reboot, and HOPEFULLY pulseaudio will work again | 06:01 |
| ejv | red2kic nice find | 06:01 |
| xxkitexx1 | would me being crossfired have anything to do with it | 06:02 |
| greezmunkey | crazy6: check here, I found this very useful: http://itechlog.com/linux/2008/12/18/fix-broken-package-ubuntu/ | 06:02 |
| greezmunkey | crazy6: just be sure to work through it slowly, you'll have to read into it a bit. | 06:03 |
| phoenix_srv | xxkitexx1: possible | 06:03 |
| phoenix_srv | mae_tae: could i still grab a paste? | 06:03 |
| crashdata | red2kic, it should be in /etc/inittab but this doesnt exist in ubuntu | 06:03 |
| mae_tae | ok, for a while | 06:03 |
| Guest35590 | if i have a 9.10 install that is ext3, will i be able to rsync it to an external hard drive that is formatted ext4? | 06:03 |
| Guest35590 | i'm wondering if i should format my external hard drive as ext3 or ext4 | 06:03 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, here's the link http://pastebin.com/8BKi0GaA | 06:03 |
| crashdata | where is the inittab in ubuntu? | 06:04 |
| Asa-Thor | Video problem: when I enter full screen in a couple of games, some graphics are redrawn an inch or so down | 06:04 |
| greezmunkey | Guest35590: I makes sense to me that it should be the same as your internal HDD's, I could be wrong. | 06:04 |
| dsnyders | crashdata, /etc/event.d | 06:04 |
| xxkitexx1 | i just disabled it | 06:04 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, how will i fix those error, http://pastebin.com/8BKi0GaA | 06:05 |
| Guest35590 | greezmunkey, thanks. yeah, what i am probably goint to do though is upgrade to 10.04 | 06:05 |
| Guest35590 | and then upgrade to ext4 | 06:05 |
| crashdata | dsnyders, doesnt exist | 06:05 |
| xxkitexx1 | could it be virtual boc | 06:05 |
| Viking667 | /discon/bye | 06:05 |
| xxkitexx1 | box | 06:05 |
| phoenix_srv | mae_tae: seems one of a few possible issues, either the IP is wrong, or the proxy doesn't accept connections of that type/size (i.e., blocking that file type), or the proxy server is down at the moment | 06:05 |
| phoenix_srv | xxkitexx1: if you're running it in virtualbox | 06:06 |
| greezmunkey | Guest35590: It is a Linux box, so just about anything is possible, but why invite trouble, right :) | 06:06 |
| phoenix_srv | you'll need to install the virtualbox graphics drivers, because the system only sees a virtual graphics card, not your real graphpics card | 06:06 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, the proxy is running, where will i change the ip of that? | 06:06 |
| Omen_20 | hi. Did the fstab file change any between 9.10 and 10.04? | 06:06 |
| Guest35590 | greez, ok, thanks. yeah, i'm gonna format to ext3 | 06:06 |
| phoenix_srv | so when you try and install the ati drivers, it will just think "no card exists" | 06:06 |
| Guest35590 | thanks for your help | 06:06 |
| dsnyders | !inittab | 06:06 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 06:06 |
| xxkitexx1 | oo | 06:06 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, provided that IP is wrong, so where will i set that? | 06:07 |
| phoenix_srv | mae_tae: system > preferences > network proxy is probably where its set | 06:07 |
| xxkitexx1 | so how do i install or find it for virtual box | 06:07 |

| Guest35590 | I just wanted to say that I was using gopher and archie back in 1994, but I never got IRC. this is my first time on IRC ever and it was very helpful | 06:07 |
| Ferb | is there any virtual webcam drivers available for Ubuntu?? | 06:07 |
| phoenix_srv | xxkitexx1: google for "virtualbox graphics drivers" | 06:07 |
| red2kic | crashdata: I guess the suggestion from a website does not work. | 06:07 |
| dsnyders | crashdata, ubuntu doesn't use inittab like other linux systems. It has been replaced with upstart. | 06:07 |
| phoenix_srv | or, you may be able to click to install it in the virtualbox menu | 06:07 |
| greezmunkey | Guest35590: There you go, what...no veronica??? | 06:07 |
| red2kic | !runlevels | crashdata | 06:07 |
| ubottu | crashdata: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 06:07 |
| crashdata | red2kic, then how do u change the run level? | 06:08 |
| dsnyders | crashdata, sorry about the quick but wrong /etc/event.d reference | 06:08 |
| phoenix_srv | mae_tae: if you can't get it working, you may have to proxy it, in which case, you need to have a valid proxy that you know works (such as an ssh socks proxy), and then install proxychains, and then run update like this: sudo proxychains apt-get update | 06:08 |
| phoenix_srv | and that will put all your traffic through your proxy | 06:08 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, i see, but we're not using GUI, sorry im just new to linux | 06:08 |
| phoenix_srv | ah ok, i cant recall where the proxy is set in the conf files, but a quick google search should tell you | 06:09 |
| phoenix_srv | proxychains is not a gui though, mae_tae, so that may work | 06:09 |
| phoenix_srv | alternatively, if all your details for the proxy are correct, you could just get the admins to allow that file type through | 06:09 |
| crazy6 | greezmunkey: argh, it's stuck on cpio, and I already removed that from the status file... any ideas? | 06:10 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, ok, actually i just want to remove that setting of that of why it connects to proxy, my problem is where will i edit that setting | 06:11 |
| Marmaduke | Would anyone be willing to help me with a dual booting issue? | 06:11 |
| acerimmer | Marmaduke: state it | 06:11 |
| Marmaduke | I installed ubuntu on one harddrive, and windows 7 on another but windows 7 automaticaly runs on startup. I want to be able to chose the OS I want at startup. I installed windows 7 second. | 06:11 |
| phoenix_srv | mae_tae: it's possibly been specified in /etc/apt/apt.conf | 06:12 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, something that apt-get update somewhat being rerouted to 192.168.4.250 | 06:12 |
| arand | Marmaduke: You need to reinstate grub mbr | 06:12 |
| Marmaduke | how do I do that? | 06:12 |
| arand | !grub2 | Marmaduke | 06:12 |
| ubottu | Marmaduke: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 06:12 |
| chut | hi people, i have a question, is there a way to make it from the terminal when i just type the name of the app and it always open with nohup? | 06:12 |
| phoenix_srv | mae_tae: or, it may be in your ~/.bashrc file, as a line like this: export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/ | 06:12 |
| arand | Marmaduke: wiki page has a guide for "reinstalling grub" | 06:12 |
| greezmunkey | crazy6: try to remove the rpm2cpio package, the apt-get clean | 06:13 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, aside from apt.conf, what file might be involve, ok ill look at it | 06:13 |
| greezmunkey | then apt-get clean, sorry | 06:13 |
| Asa-Thor | Hi guys. I'm having an issue with full screen. | 06:13 |
| chut | anyone? | 06:13 |
| Marmaduke | Ok I'll try that thanks guys | 06:13 |
| greezmunkey | crazy6: let me guess, you don't keep a log of installs, changes, etc to your puter... | 06:14 |
| AbuMaia | chut: it doesn't already do that? | 06:14 |
| kifo | A while ago i had used a command that printed detailed info on mouse/keyboard input to stdout, anyone know what im talking about? | 06:14 |
| chut | yeah nope | 06:14 |
| mae_tae | phoenix_srv, where can i find that bashrc | 06:15 |
| chut | we have to type nohup programname right | 06:15 |
| MurielGodoi | Hi guys, any mencoder expert to help me to convert m2ts file to avi/h.264 file? | 06:15 |
| chut | so i dont want to type nohup | 06:15 |
| chut | is it possible? | 06:15 |
| AbuMaia | what is nohup? | 06:15 |
| greezmunkey | no HangUP | 06:15 |
| chut | it's a run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty | 06:15 |
| phoenix_srv | in your home folder | 06:15 |
| phoenix_srv | so if you typed the following, mae_tae, it would show you the contents of it: | 06:16 |
| phoenix_srv | cat ~/.bashrc | 06:16 |
| crazy6 | sigh, ok, giving up, will just reinstall | 06:16 |
| thebruce | YAY for fresh installations of Lucid! | 06:16 |
| Omen20 | 10.04 has screwed up mounting. It flips my partitions between sdb and sda every boot. So the partition will be sdb1 and then after a reboot it will be sda1. | 06:16 |
| greezmunkey | chut: you could write a simple shell script to start the program that way, maybe even an alias... | 06:16 |
| AbuMaia | hm, I hadn't heard of that. if I want to run gedit, I just type gedit. if I want mplayer, just type mplayer. it always works fine | 06:16 |
| chut | oh, so it's possible? | 06:17 |
| thebruce | can anyone guide me in the right direction of setting up my swap partition | 06:17 |
| greezmunkey | chut: I don't know why not. If you can type it at a terminal it can be automated. | 06:17 |
| acerimmer | thebruce: during install or post install? | 06:17 |
| chut | oh, so i just need to grab the input right | 06:17 |
| thebruce | acerimmer, postinstall now | 06:18 |

| AnakinSkywhopper | HI. | 06:59 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: should be: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras - that should have worked | 06:59 |
| theadmin | cdw32: It's there o-O Do you have the Multiverse repo enabled? | 06:59 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: no it did i tried three times. | 07:00 |
| cdw32 | theadmin: what is that | 07:00 |
| theadmin | cdw32: Does "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep 'multiverse'" return anything? | 07:01 |
| greezmunkey | theadmin: good call... | 07:02 |
| jimtuv | senthil did you try sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 07:03 |

| cdw32 | theadmin: greezmunkey; in progress | 07:05 |
| theadmin | apstanto: Is it a RAID hard drive? | 07:05 |
| cdw32 | theadmin: complete | 07:05 |
| theadmin | cdw32: Now try installing again | 07:05 |
| apstanto | No. I want to dual boot. It has windows vista on it already. | 07:06 |
| cdw32 | theadmin: package could not be found | 07:06 |
| theadmin | apstanto: *AH*! It might fail to resize because disk is too fragmented, defrag it in windows | 07:06 |
| ynk | good evening, guys. | 07:06 |
| apstanto | Ok. but what should I do while its frozen? | 07:07 |

| ynk | i'm trying to install Pidgin and getting the error, "You must have GLib 2.4.0 or newer development headers installed to build. If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so I can find them." | 07:08 |
| theadmin | hm. I have a weird problem here, Update manager icon is still there after installing updates | 07:08 |
| skarri | I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off tap to click in xubuntu? | 07:08 |
| ynk | i tried installing the "pkg-config" package but it says i already have it. | 07:08 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: i did it second time and its working should i still do what you just sent | 07:09 |
| indus | ynk, which version of ubuntu are you using | 07:09 |
| xangua | ynk: to build¿¿ you can install pidgin frrom the repositories | 07:09 |
| ynk | i'm using Karmic | 07:09 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: no | 07:09 |
| cdw32 | ok | 07:09 |
| apstanto | theadmin: what should I do while its frozen? | 07:09 |
| skarri | I cannot find it under the mouse settings, and my xorg.conf is pretty much empty | 07:09 |
| theadmin | ynk: See instructions on downloading on www.pidgin.im | 07:09 |
| theadmin | apstanto: Don't think you can really do much, dunno | 07:09 |
| xangua | ynk: sudo aptitude install pidgin | 07:09 |
| theadmin | xangua: nope. Pidgin package in Karmic repos is broken | 07:10 |
| ynk | theadmin: hmm. i was trying to use "./configure" to install it | 07:10 |
| ynk | xangua: i will try your method. | 07:10 |
| skarri | also, I use an hp pavilion tx2500 | 07:10 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: did you buy your pc from dell? | 07:10 |
| xangua | theadmin: if they were then how could i be here¿¿, using pidgin as irc client | 07:10 |

| san | guyz it will be soo great if anyone of you help me | 07:10 |
| ynk | theadmin xangua: hopefully, i get the latest version because i'm running Karmic. | 07:10 |
| theadmin | xangua: I dunno, it was broken for me | 07:10 |
| ynk | i'm going to use the repository. | 07:11 |
| apstanto | Should I hold down the power button? | 07:11 |
| marupa | Hi all, is there a way to, from command line, kill any other sound daemons and pump audio directly from a single (and only one) program? | 07:11 |

| ynk | theadmin: thanks, buddy. i'll go back and read the instructions. | 07:11 |
| san | guyz first i installed karmic then xp so my grub went then through live cd i repaired grub but now in grub xp is not loading it says no such file system | 07:11 |
| theadmin | apstanto: Dunno, try Alt+SysRQ and type "REISUB" | 07:11 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: maybe you can contact them regarding your video issue as well. I think Dell sells PCs with ubuntu installed - I could be wrong. | 07:11 |
| san | please anyone of you help me | 07:11 |
| san | or else i will have to format and install both OS again | 07:12 |
| darolu | !anyone | san | 07:12 |
| ubottu | san: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 07:12 |
| theadmin | darolu: He asked his question | 07:12 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: yes they sold this to me with ubuntu 8.04 on it.... | 07:12 |
| san | another thing is that i dont have xp boot cd | 07:12 |
| darolu | theadmin: oh I see, sry :) !patience? :p | 07:12 |
| theadmin | darolu: :D | 07:12 |
| xangua | san you did wrong, firs one installs windows and then any other OS, remember that next time | 07:12 |
| darolu | san: what grub version do you have? | 07:12 |
| skarri | any ideas folks? | 07:13 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: the restricted extras might help right | 07:13 |
| Nhawdge|work | Hey all, I'm having some trouble getting 8.04 LTS server to upgrade to 10.04 it refuses to acknowledge that their is a new release available | 07:13 |
| darolu | skarri: if you know how to do it via xorg.conf file, you can create it; I know you can do it with that file | 07:13 |
| san | xangua: ya i know that dear but i needed ubuntu very desperatly and i dint had xp cd that time thats y | 07:13 |
| san | darolu: 1 | 07:13 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: Dells page doesn't mention Linux/Ubuntu anywhere? | 07:13 |
| skarri | haven't messed with xorg.conf in ages | 07:13 |
| marupa | Sorry about that...glitchy. Anyone? | 07:13 |
| senthil | Is anyone having trouble with gedit running amok on processing power? | 07:13 |
| twiztid | how would i go about updateing to glx version 1.3? cause cario dock is toggleing indirect rendering... | 07:14 |
| skarri | and I'm trying to avoid that | 07:14 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: ubuntu.dell.com | 07:14 |
| san | darolu: i repaired grub through live cd as said in forum then came in ubuntu and sudo apt-get install grub | 07:14 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: they sold it to me like this and i think they are kicking themselves for it | 07:14 |
| san | in grub it shows last option as xp but throws an error no such file system | 07:14 |
| skarri | darolu: I don't even know how to begin writing the setting for my trackpad | 07:14 |
| darolu | san: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab and menu.lst files? that way we will have a better idea of what's wrong | 07:14 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: heh :) | 07:14 |
| jimtuv | senthil it could be that your grub didnot update correctly and is not reflecting the right kernel. check uname -r and see what it gives you | 07:15 |
| theadmin | darolu: fstab is not responsible for GRUB stuff, menu.lst is deprecated. | 07:15 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: and dell dose not have any support with ubuntu you have to to call cononical | 07:15 |
| senthil | jimtuv: 2.6.34-020634rc6-generic | 07:15 |
| cdw32 | andi refuse to pat | 07:16 |
| cdw32 | pay | 07:16 |
| darolu | san: my bad fstab won't help but the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 07:16 |
| charley_ | hello, I'm wondering how if I could add my uni apt-proxy to my sources.list | 07:16 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: fair enough | 07:16 |
| san | darolu: sad there is no file or folder in etc named fstab | 07:16 |
| jetole | Hey guys. I am setting up or, well changing my preseed on a server and one item I just changed is that hostname is assigned via dhcp however the installer is still asking me to set the hostname. It shows the dhcp assigned hostname by default but how can I make it auto use this hostname without asking me about it? | 07:16 |
| charley_ | oh,http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/lib/debian-sources.list by the way itsays, I think it says hardy only | 07:16 |
| charley_ | so I'm wondering if it'll work, I'm using Feisty I think | 07:16 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: i dont know | 07:16 |
| twiztid | this is what i got when trying to open glx cairo dock (opengl version) http://pastebin.com/tkXzAEQT | 07:16 |
| darolu | theadmin: yeah I just re-read what I said XD now I'm thinking he may have installed grub2 with the apt-get install grub | 07:16 |
| san | darolu: ya i know that commands shows all drives my linux drive is in sda8 | 07:17 |
| darolu | san: there must be one, but nevermind; you said you have grub legacy right? | 07:17 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: once this is done the extras is there anything i need to do | 07:17 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: the restricted extras will provide the codecs and what not that ubuntu can't legally package into their OS - some legal thing, go figure. I think I read somewhere that Mint includes them though. | 07:17 |
| san | darolu: legacy? | 07:17 |
| darolu | san: legacy = 1 | 07:17 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: mint | 07:18 |
| senthil | jimtuv: I could've swore I just installed the new kernel, but it isn't updating | 07:18 |
| san | darolu: extremely sorry i dont know what it is | 07:18 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: no you shouldn't have to restart. Mint / ubuntu derivitive(?) | 07:18 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: I don't mint... | 07:18 |
| darolu | san: uhmmm you said "1", nevermind, did you install karmic or upgraded from jaunty? | 07:19 |
| theadmin | Mint is meh. And we don't support it here anyway. | 07:19 |
| san | darolu: karmix fresh install through boot cd | 07:19 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: i have no clue what is it | 07:19 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: I have heard about issues with flash a lot here lately, that's why I asked what videos you were having issues with. | 07:19 |
| darolu | san: ok so you have grub 2, run "sudo update-grub" it should add your windows entry to the grub | 07:19 |
| wildbat | san, do this for us to help you, pastebin those : sudo fisk -l , your grub error msg, your grub.cfg | 07:19 |
| san | darolu: actually my both os were working find but then virus came in xp so i had to reinstall it so grub vanished then when i repaired through live cd xp doesnt work | 07:20 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: all of them | 07:20 |
| cdw32 | streaming, | 07:20 |
| cdw32 | internet | 07:20 |
| cdw32 | and tohers | 07:21 |
| san | darolu: updated | 07:21 |
| darolu | san: I see, try running "sudo update-grub" see if it prints your windows entry | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | san: That's normal, grub was previously searching for your old XP install (its filesystem UUID specifically), if you run "sudo update-grub" it will look for the new XP install. | 07:21 |
| san | darolu: nope it doesnt | 07:22 |
| twiztid | this is what i got when trying to open glx cairo dock (opengl version) http://pastebin.com/tkXzAEQT any ideas on what to do next??? | 07:22 |
| san | sorry to ask but where is grub.cfg located? | 07:22 |
| Jordan_U | san: /boot/grub/ | 07:22 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: so i may never have good vid again | 07:22 |
| theadmin | Grah, help me. VLC keeps freezing videos (while audio keeps playing), it's impossible to watch anything :'( | 07:23 |
| darolu | san: lets make see what is in your grub.cfg in your terminal run "grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg" (no quotes) | 07:23 |
| san | well its a big file how to i upload it here? | 07:23 |

| rizzuh | How do I change the root password in US 10.04? | 07:24 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: not true, you just need to keep at it. There are several layers that have to work together for your video to be solid. You may have to addess each of them - don't know. | 07:24 |
| theadmin | rizzuh: There is NO root password. | 07:24 |
| darolu | rizzuh: you don't need it; use sudo | 07:24 |
| SoNick | rizuh: Use pwd to set one, if you want to enable root..? | 07:24 |
| san | darolu: i think grub has not located where xp is | 07:24 |
| rizzuh | Well there is. Logged in as root via SSH. | 07:24 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: thats the think i have no clue what the layers are lol | 07:24 |
| xsj | when i reboot my ubuntu,i must install the driver for it | 07:24 |
| theadmin | SoNick: Don't recommend people that | 07:24 |
| darolu | san: I forgot to mention the pastebin part, sorry; did you see your winxp entry there? | 07:25 |
| wildbat | san, use pastebin~~~ | 07:25 |
| rizzuh | Password is a bunch of numbers, looks liek a hash (which probably is) | 07:25 |
| wildbat | !pb | 07:25 |

| theadmin | rizzuh: You can use passwd to set the password. Careful with that, however. | 07:25 |
| SoNick | You're right, this is the Ubuntu IRC channel and although I don't agree with your reasoning for disabling root it was a conscious design decision. | 07:25 |

| greezmunkey | cdw32: np problem, you should do this... Boot into your BIOS, see if it tells you *exactly* what video adapter is installed. Write that down, it will go a long way for getting it set up right. | 07:26 |

| darolu | gl | 07:26 |

| SoNick | *them | 07:27 |
| jimtuv | senthil 2.6.34 isn't stable why use it. 10.04 ships with 2.6.32?? | 07:27 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: is there a command or something i have to run | 07:27 |
| theadmin | greezmunkey, jnss, as posted above, VLC keeps sluttering the video (that is, it freezes and audio keeps going), pretty much for all of em | 07:27 |
| senthil | jimtuv: My screen kept flickering and my function keys weren't working properly | 07:28 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: for what? | 07:28 |
| wildbat | does anyone know how to use <super>(aka winkey ) as Alt+F1 just like windows? | 07:28 |
| jnss | theadmin, is the cpu getting raped or could it be vlc that's going awry | 07:28 |
| jimtuv | oh so one fix killed something else isn't that always the way | 07:28 |
| lorenzosu | Hi all. In karmic when I try to connect to a hidden network which I had already entered, the connect button is greyed out. I have to start each time over. | 07:28 |
| darolu | wildbat: what does Alt+F1 does in Windows? | 07:28 |
| jnss | theadmin, try mplayer, the command like player. it is way better than vlc | 07:28 |
| bronto2 | theadmin, what kind of video? 1920x1080 or something smaller? | 07:28 |
| twiztid | need to make wify happy lol... help! http://paste.ubuntu.com/428106/ how do i get GLX 1.3? | 07:28 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: to find out what vga componant is installed | 07:28 |
| theadmin | bronto2: Let me check | 07:28 |
| bronto2 | theadmin, and whats happening with the cpu usage? | 07:28 |
| SoNick | Alt+F1 opens the applications menu, I assume | 07:29 |
| gsalah | hello guys, I'm looking for a good antivirus for my file server, is there any apt-able one | 07:29 |
| SoNick | I haven't tried it and I'm watching a streaming video on this machine right now so I can't walk over to my ubuntu box to check | 07:29 |
| darolu | SoNick: that's what gnome does but I'm not sure what wildbat wants to do | 07:29 |
| ynk | is there a reason i shouldn't install apps in the "usr" directory? | 07:29 |
| theadmin | bronto2: Hm. Nevermind. Was transmission's fault :/ it eats a lot | 07:29 |
| san | darolu:error: no such device found: f809034...... - press any key to continue... | 07:29 |
| wildbat | darolu, that what i want ;p | 07:29 |
| san | darolu: thats waht happns when i choose xp | 07:30 |
| Fudge | anyone know of a cli video player | 07:30 |
| SoNick | mplayer | 07:30 |
| theadmin | Fudge: mplayer? | 07:30 |
| wildbat | darolu, <super> key insteads of alt-f1 to pull the menus | 07:30 |
| darolu | san: do you see your windows partition with "sudo fdisk -l"? | 07:30 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: well you ran lspci, you could try this: sudo lshw, but I don't think it's going to give you anything more. | 07:30 |
| bronto2 | theadmin, btw, sligtly OT, the other day i realized my old rig can actually play HD stuff (h.264) with gpu decoding, cpu stays almost at 0%, so if you are lucky enough to have proper nvidia , check that | 07:30 |
| san | darolu yup first one sda1 in boot row there is a * | 07:31 |
| theadmin | bronto2: nvidia? mehaz ATI | 07:31 |
| CogitoErgoSam | wildbat I got good news and bad news | 07:31 |
| xsj | nvidia | 07:31 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: i meant in bios is there anything i need to do | 07:31 |
| san | darolu:/dev/sda1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS | 07:31 |
| wildbat | CogitoErgoSam, hey ~ you still there xD | 07:31 |
| CogitoErgoSam | wildbat: bad news, can't use gconf to bind something like the menu to the super key exclusively because its a modifier | 07:31 |
| === piju is now known as piju[QRT] | ||
| greezmunkey | cdw32: no, when you power on it should be F2 as it comes up to get into the BIOS | 07:32 |
| theadmin | CogitoErgoSam: xmodmap? Not sure how to use that, but... | 07:32 |
| CogitoErgoSam | wildbat: good news, might be able to via compizconfig if I can find the right command-line options to bind to Super | 07:32 |
| bronto2 | theadmin, bad luck then (i think ati doeant have anything like VDPAU, but i could be wrong...) | 07:32 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: power up hit F2 once a sec or so as it powers up. | 07:32 |
| CogitoErgoSam | wildbat: But it does look like you can bind actions to JUST super via compizconfig | 07:32 |
| san | darolu: actually this is my windows drive-/media/2E5439DB5439A70D but in grub when i choose xp it shows different 9B30234.. | 07:32 |
| theadmin | bronto2: It started happening since update to Lucid | 07:32 |
| darolu | san: there is a chance your windows xp installation is corrupted, I find it weird update-grub didn't remove the entry if it didn't find it; can you mount the filesystem? | 07:32 |
| wildbat | CogitoErgoSam, i tried that too ~ no luck ;p | 07:33 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: f2 is the options isnt it | 07:33 |
| san | darolu: i think grub is searching for xp in another drive | 07:33 |
| theadmin | bronto2: And, really, that is no good. Gotta do a clean install of Maverick when that's out... | 07:33 |
| bronto2 | theadmin, what? slow playback? | 07:33 |
| luckymurali | Hi | 07:33 |
| theadmin | bronto2: Well, yeah, that... sluttering. | 07:33 |
| san | darolu: can we specify grub that in which drive is our windows located? | 07:33 |
| skarri | darolu: do you have any idea whether xinput will help my situation and if so how to use it? | 07:33 |
| san | darolu: may be it can solve | 07:34 |
| theadmin | bronto2: Then again, if i kill some apps (which i could run on Karmic while playing vids :/), it's fine | 07:34 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: do this, open up a new terminal, then run: dmesg > dmesg.txt - and paste the entire thing. | 07:34 |
| darolu | san: yes it's possible the change of UUID is causing this, well you can force it using a custom entry | 07:34 |
| luckymurali | if I use apt-get remove python 2.4 will it remove all components (includes gnome-terminal) ?? | 07:34 |
| wildbat | CogitoErgoSam, i doubt if it can be done ~ but if ibus can switch input method with use modifier key like ctrl+shift, it should be ;p | 07:34 |
| luckymurali | im using ubuntu 6.0 edgy eft | 07:34 |
| bronto2 | theadmin, i'd guess then there is something wrong with drivers, but no idea really | 07:34 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: to pastbin, that is...It'll tell what driver is being loaded. | 07:34 |
| theadmin | luckymurali: That's soooo EOL | 07:34 |
| san | darolu: cos i just dont want to reformat it, i already formated 2 times in this month | 07:34 |
| baddog | Hi, I just installed ttf-inconsolata, but rxvt doesn't seem to be using it, if I call `rxvt -fn "Inconsolata"`, it tells me it can't find the font | 07:34 |
| baddog | Is there something I need to do before it can see it? | 07:35 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: there will be a file called dmesg.txt in you home directory... | 07:35 |
| luckymurali | theadmin, Im not getting you | 07:35 |
| luckymurali | please explain me a bit | 07:35 |
| darolu | san: yes, you can do it; first you need to disable os-prober, go to /etc/grub.d and remove the execution permission to the OS-PROBE entry with "sudo chmod a-x 30_os-prober" then we create the custom entry; give me a second I'll paste bin an example | 07:35 |
| wildbat | san, you can just do a testdisk to cure up corrupted ntfs partition ~ | 07:35 |
| theadmin | luckymurali: Edgy. It's EOL. | 07:35 |
| luckymurali | ya | 07:35 |
| rizzuh | Is there a downloadable version of the Ubuntu docs? | 07:35 |
| darolu | skarri: I have no experience with xinput, sorry | 07:35 |
| luckymurali | but my question is will removing of python will remove other components?? | 07:36 |
| san | wildbat: testdisk? command? | 07:36 |
| skarri | darolu: thanks anyway | 07:36 |
| luckymurali | like administartive tools | 07:36 |
| wildbat | san, there is chance that grub write on NTFS parition as you point to sda1 instead of sda | 07:36 |
| luckymurali | or svn server etc | 07:36 |
| wildbat | san, testdisk is the command | 07:36 |
| san | i m sure my grub is searching for windows in wrong drive | 07:36 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: can you send that to me again pls | 07:36 |
| theadmin | luckymurali: Maybe, maybe not. We don't support EOL releases here. Most likely yes though | 07:36 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: do this, open up a new terminal, then run: dmesg > dmesg.txt - and paste the entire thing. | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | san: Have you run "sudo update-grub"? | 07:36 |
| san | yes | 07:37 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: there will be a file called dmesg.txt in you home directory... | 07:37 |
| san | wildbat: its not installed | 07:37 |
| luckymurali | now please tell me how can i revert it back | 07:37 |

| ramindia | iam located in india, how come ubuntu changing time of Bios, how can i ask ubuntu use bios time | 07:43 |
| wildbat | san, ya i think you need to do testdisk~ you have only one active primary partition and grub may have written on it | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | wildbat: His symptopms don't match that. | 07:44 |
| ramindia | every reboot its changing time | 07:44 |
| ramindia | even i set UTC=no at rcs | 07:44 |
| darolu | san: I don't think that's necessary, I think changing the UUID in your winxp entry will fix it, it's using the previous UUID; use "sudo blkid" to find the new one, from there we will be able to tell you how to change it so your winxp works normally again | 07:44 |
| san | wildbat: what do i choose? analysis?,advanced? | 07:44 |

| san | wildbat: what should i choose in testdisk there is a menu full of options | 07:46 |
| darolu | san: there's the error I think, your grub.cfg is using a f00something UUID when the real one is 2E5439DB5439A70D | 07:46 |
| wildbat | san, refer to the http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector | 07:46 |

| Jordan_U | san: Did you ever pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? | 07:47 |
| darolu | san: I suggest you to disable the OS-prober entry in /etc/grub.d so the update-grub doesn't add the old UUID and use a custom entry instead; to do this first remove the execution permission to 30_os-prober and then add the entry manually to your 40_custom | 07:47 |

| san | wildbat: thanks a lot | 08:03 |
| econtomawesome | bp0 It worked fine under 9.10--what happened? Should I install 32-bit firefox? | 08:03 |
| san | but is this problem solved totally? what to do if in future i get this prob? | 08:03 |
| econtomawesome | bp0 ah, I see what you said | 08:03 |
| econtomawesome | bp0 kk | 08:03 |
| san | darolu: is it solved permanently? | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | san: You're welcome, now let's check that update-grub alone works (so that new kernels will be added to your grub.cfg) | 08:04 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: is there anything i can do to help | 08:04 |
| ramindia | CogitoErgoSam: yes i linkied to kolkotta to /etc/localtime it worked. but my other application GUI shows still US time | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | san: Run: echo "test" | sudo tee -a /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 08:05 |
| darolu | san: I'm glad it worked; Jordan_U seems to know how to fix the update-grub issue | 08:05 |
| san | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428123/ | 08:05 |
| san | darolu: update-grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/428123/ | 08:05 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: no, I'm a bit dissappointed, that's all. There are a number of things that can probably be done, but I have to get some sleep now. I am sorry, but maybe someone else here can help. Again, sorry man. | 08:06 |
| san | Jordan_U: nothing happend.. | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | san: That's the problem, it's updating your menu.lst instead of grub.cfg. Run | 08:06 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ramindia: What other application gui | 08:06 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: thats cool | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | san: ... run "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" | 08:06 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: i feel the same what | 08:06 |
| ramindia | CogitoErgoSam: xbmc GUI | 08:06 |
| cdw32 | way | 08:06 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: i am still trying to understand linux | 08:07 |
| san | Jordan_U: command not found | 08:07 |
| hozeHoze1 | can any1 tell me where i can configure the notify popups in 10.04, i want to change the location of the notify popups | 08:07 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: good luck, but it's not anyones fault, Your harware is "difficult", and not a lot in the way of help on Google. You have to promise to post the fix - should you get it - to the forums so others can benefit, ok. | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | san: "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" | 08:08 |
| cdw32 | greezmunkey: yeah thanks will do...i have been blowing google up the past days | 08:08 |
| san | done.. | 08:08 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ramindia, try this too: right click on the clock on your panel, select "Preferences". Click on the "Locations" tab. Remove any incorrect ones and add your accurate one. | 08:09 |
| greezmunkey | cdw32: no doubt, g'night. | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | san: Now run "sudo update-grub" again and the output should say "generating grub.cfg..." | 08:09 |

| san | Jordan_U: yup | 08:10 |
| ramindia | CogitoErgoSam: no right clicks..its media center | 08:10 |
| Jordan_U | san: If it now talks about grub.cfg instead of menu.lst then the problem is permanently fixed. | 08:10 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ramindia: Sorry I should have phrased that better; I was referring to the clock on your gnome-panel | 08:11 |

| Jordan_U | san: You're welcome :) | 08:13 |
| san | wildbat: even you help me a lot thanks to you to bro.. | 08:14 |

| san | lols if there is anything that i can do for you 3 then just tell :D though i know v r thousands miles away and i cant help much heh | 08:14 |
| Jordan_U | poui: Feisty is not supported and has known serious security vulnerabilities, upgrade to a supported release. | 08:15 |
| poui | Jordan_U: i have lack of space and hoping to stick to fesity as long as i could | 08:15 |
| poui | any work around? | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | poui: It's past as long as you can keep feisty. | 08:15 |
| vak | hi all | 08:15 |
| san | Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: mmmm.. i think i will be mean but.. can i ask for one more help? ehh. please heh | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | san: Sure :) | 08:16 |
| darolu | san: just ask :) | 08:16 |
| poui | so Jordan_U u mean no other way | 08:16 |
| san | Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: but this one is much worse i am trying to solve it from 6 months my bluetooth is disabled when i attach usb bluetooth it shows applet but it is disabled and cant enable it | 08:17 |
| Jordan_U | poui: There are no updates to get, and again there are *known* *serious* security vulnerabilities in feisty that will *never* be fixed. Is that not reason enough to upgrade? | 08:17 |
| darolu | poui: I would install 8.04 it's similar in size and system requirements. | 08:17 |
| vak | "Visual Effects" feature in Gnome conflicts with default adobe flash in web browsers (youtube & etc work bad). Any recipe how to fix this?.. | 08:17 |
| san | Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: i came here in IRC and asked many times even i read many forums but never helped | 08:17 |
| san | Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: none of forums had any solution i think in karmic some USB Bluetooths dont work | 08:18 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ramindia: I think I found your fix. Run the command "hwclock --systohc" | 08:18 |
| bullgard4 | !google | dwatkins | 08:19 |
| ubottu | dwatkins: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 08:19 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ramindia: That should set the hardware clock to the current system time | 08:19 |
| san | hey what happened | 08:19 |
| vivi | Hi ubuntu users ! | 08:20 |
| san | wildbat: can you help me install bluetooth in my karmic? | 08:20 |
| san | darolu: what to do to install bluetooth in karmic? | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | poui: If you install 10.04 now you'll be able to stay with it untill, 2013 (2015 if you really want to push it). | 08:20 |
| darolu | san: I have never used a USB bluetooth so I don't think I can't help you; other than link you to the bluetooth docs... I'm affraid I can't help you further | 08:20 |
| poui | sadly, i dont have any space left | 08:20 |
| poui | :( | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | poui: 10.04 is exaclty the same size as Feisty. | 08:21 |

| matunda | hey guys anyone who knows how to limit download by size using squid....help!!! | 08:22 |
| dirtyharold | is there room for a hardware question here? | 08:22 |
| Jordan_U | san: Try a 10.04 liveCD, there is a chance it's been fixed in 10.04 (and even if it hasn't you might want to upgrade). | 08:22 |
| ramindia | CogitoErgoSam: it show US/Eastern | 08:22 |
| ramindia | CogitoErgoSam: how to change to Asia/Kolkotta | 08:23 |
| CogitoErgoSam | you could gksudo gedit it, or use a diff editor like vi/nano/etc | 08:23 |

| apstanto | I'm trying to install 10.04 and dual boot windows vista. The install crashed the first time and told me to try again. Now it says I have vista and ubuntu on the disk already, but won't let me remove the ubuntu and install it fresh. How do I do this? | 08:50 |
| padski | should I have an /etc/init.conf file ? | 08:50 |
| Sorcererbob | apstanto, during the install process can't you select which partitions to use? just select the existing ubuntu partition | 08:50 |
| bullgard4 | When I shut down Ubuntu 10.04, it says: "Unmounting weak filesystems..." What are 'weak' filesystems? | 08:50 |

| twiztid | Jordan_U: i applied the repositories, are they installed? or how do i install them | 08:52 |
| llutz | elnur: read "man 5 interfaces" | 08:52 |
| apstanto | Sorcererbob: you mean manually specify p artitions. I tried that, but it says "no root file system is defined" when I choose the free 20GB partition where ubuntu was/is. | 08:52 |
| xro | hi, how can i know processor, cpu and ram of a computer without reboot my computer? | 08:53 |
| elnur | llutz, thanks | 08:53 |
| Jordan_U | twiztid: "sudo apt-get ugrade" beware though, there is a chance these packages will cause X to fail to start, you should know how to recover if this happens. | 08:53 |
| padski | should there be a manual page for init.conf ? | 08:54 |
| apstanto | xro: Use "Administration->System Monitor" | 08:54 |
| xro | apstanto, i don't have a GUI | 08:54 |
| derpderpderp | Is it a bad thing if nvidia-detector doesn't detect my nvidia card? | 08:55 |

| Jordan_U | twiztid: Yes, using chroot to revert the packages. | 08:56 |
| apstanto | xro: oh. Not sure then...but there is a way | 08:56 |
| AnxiousNut | will it work if i installed synergy on both linux and windows? | 08:56 |
| Sorcererbob | check out synergy-plus from google | 08:56 |
| padski | can I just change upstart out for sysv-init, will stuff break ? | 08:57 |
| twiztid | Jordan_U: chroot apt-get update? a little shaky on the reverting part... | 08:57 |
| xro | apstanto, like that --> /proc/cpuinfo, /proc/meminfo, dmidecode, hwinfo | 08:57 |
| apstanto | cool! | 08:57 |

| LinuxRevolution | hi all | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | twiztid: No need to be using KMS while upgrading (though you'll need to reboot *after* upgrading) | 09:04 |
| LinuxRevolution | I wanna make an ISO file from an Ubuntu live cd, how to? | 09:04 |
| llutz | LinuxRevolution: cat /dev/sr0 >file.iso | 09:05 |
| Jordan_U | LinuxRevolution: Use brasero (GUI, comes with Ubuntu). You can also use dd, but be *very* carefull if you do. | 09:05 |

| stodorovic | Hi. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades is incomplete. | 09:06 |
| twiztid | Jordan_U: k then cool cool, gunna give it a shot and see how it goes, thank you very much for all your help | 09:06 |

| guest1 | i use network manager applet to connect to wireless network or wired | 09:07 |
| apstanto | I got to the last step of the tutorial on the website, and it says Select "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk" ...but there is no option for that in the partitioner. Why? | 09:08 |
| quietone | guest1: no need to be sorry. I wish I could help. I haven't used network manager applet in a while, isn't there something in properties to auto connect? | 09:08 |
| guest1 | use that option for Auto connect is checked and yet it will not auto connect | 09:08 |
| guest1 | i deleted connected and re added it again ensuring auto connect flag is turned on and it is. still no go | 09:09 |
| guest1 | deleted connection* | 09:09 |
| quietone | quest1: hope some one else around help can help. | 09:09 |
| guest1 | i am wondering if this is because my not broadcasting my SSID (hidden network ) | 09:10 |
| bullgard4 | When I shut down Ubuntu 10.04, it says: "Unmounting weak filesystems..." What are 'weak' filesystems? | 09:10 |
| Mandrew | hiya fellow citizens i cant get the tethering working properly in 10.04 over bluetooth any ideas? | 09:10 |

| * man8 hasta luego | 09:10 | |
| guest1 | thanks for trying qietone | 09:10 |
| stodorovic | bullgard4: maybe they are filesystems that are not permamently attached to the box? | 09:11 |
| bullgard4 | stodorovic: What box do you refer to? | 09:12 |
| Mandrew | your linux box ;) | 09:12 |
| stodorovic | bullgard4: whichever box you are refering to.... your box? | 09:12 |
| Mandrew | the computer :P | 09:13 |
| stodorovic | surely, *everyone* must know what the box is? :) | 09:13 |
| bullgard4 | stodorovic: Take notice: I am using Ubuntu 10.04, and my filesystems are not attached to any box. | 09:14 |
| stodorovic | bullgard4: they must be. or are you saying you can't mount anything? | 09:14 |
| llutz | bullgard4: find the upstart-script, look what kind of fs it handles | 09:14 |
| root____ | a | 09:15 |
| IronChef | why is ubuntu so frigid about root logins? | 09:15 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: not sure. maybe because it stops noobs from trashing their systems. | 09:16 |
| llutz | stodorovic: they will trash it using sudo, no difference | 09:16 |
| bullgard4 | llutz: '~$ locate upstart-script' does not produce any output. What do you mean? | 09:17 |
| stodorovic | llutz: i know :/ | 09:17 |
| llutz | bullgard4: grep -ri "weak filesystem" /etc/* and if there are hits, do what i said before | 09:18 |
| IronChef | i've just installed 10.04 on my lappy and at work, it's slick - but i still can't login as root or see the boot messages - it's a bit infuriating :-) | 09:18 |
| IronChef | i had 8.04 on my lappy before that - i'm an lts kinda guy with work machines | 09:19 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: boot messages have something to do with usplash (or whatever ubuntu uses) + 'silent' grub/kernel option | 09:19 |
| IronChef | you'd hope it was that simple i agree ;-) | 09:19 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: did you disable silent? | 09:20 |
| stodorovic | and any reference to splash? | 09:20 |
| IronChef | i'm still getting my head around grub2 to be honest | 09:21 |
| jimlovell777 | I've been having issues with DNS resolving since upgrading to Lucid. My wifi settings are typical noting above what's provided by the network manager. I've tried using my ISP's DNS, OpenDNS and Google's DNS services and they all seem to fail regularly. It's only occurring on my computer running Lucid. Nothing else in my home exhibits the behavior. Is there reports of others having issues? | 09:21 |
| IronChef | i like it though - looks like it will be heaps easier to use - just everything is in different places now | 09:21 |
| elnur | What are nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf? | 09:21 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: i used grub2 for a while after gentoo/slamd64/slackware13 did not boot correctly on a 3rd disk with the old grub | 09:22 |
| IronChef | jimlovell777: i had a problem like that with 10.04 when it forgot my gateway... | 09:22 |
| vivek_ | hii have any updates/upgrades for lucid come yet.. I am a little sceptical about my settings as I have not received any updates till now | 09:22 |
| jimlovell777 | elnur: cat /etc/resolv.conf shows 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 and 8.8.8.8 | 09:23 |
| blayze | vivek_: yes | 09:23 |
| IronChef | stodorovic: ahh gentoo, that's my favorite, i run it on my home desktop :-) solid! | 09:23 |
| === ubuntu is now known as StPiere | ||
| jimlovell777 | IronChef: Gateway info looks valid. | 09:23 |
| paraintj | hi | 09:23 |
| vivek_ | blayze:but i have not received any... what could be the prob with my thing | 09:23 |
| elnur | jimlovell777, mine shows other addresses. | 09:23 |
| === StPiere is now known as dPetrovic | ||
| IronChef | jimlovell777: what is 8.8.8.8?? | 09:24 |
| llutz | elnur: those where opendns +google | 09:24 |
| blayze | vivek_: have you tried updating manually | 09:24 |
| jimlovell777 | elnur: I have mine set to OpenDNS | 09:24 |
| Speedy2 | Hey all. Does Karmic (9.10) by default use cron or anacron to do anything important? | 09:24 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: yeah I like gentoo, but could never get it working on my desktop. ebuild blocks prevented me getting an X11 system :( Used to run it for a while on the laptop and it was great | 09:24 |
| jimlovell777 | IronChef: Google's NameServers are located at 8.8.8.8 | 09:24 |
| IronChef | wow cool IP :-) | 09:24 |
| vivek_ | blayze:yes in fact i am doing this sudo apt-get update and upgrade since past morning | 09:25 |
| icqn | my / populates about 7 gigabytes after several years of using and upgrading ubuntu, and I need to free some space to be able to upgrade to 10.04, where can I start? | 09:25 |
| blayze | vivek_: dunno then | 09:25 |
| vivek_ | blayze:in my software sources though this proposed updates(lucid-proposed) is not checked | 09:25 |
| IronChef | stodorovic: yeah, it's high maintenance - those build flags are a pain - they have a utility called udev that manages them great though | 09:25 |
| dPetrovic | every time i want to go in internet i have to type dhclient3 eth0 in terminal.is there ahy way to set it automaticaly ? | 09:25 |
| vivek_ | blayze:only recommended updates and important securty updates are checked | 09:26 |
| IronChef | having said that, i think build flags rock if you like tweaking stuff | 09:26 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: not udev, surely? was it not ufe or something like that? | 09:26 |
| IronChef | oops | 09:26 |

| IronChef | ufed :-) | 09:27 |
| dPetrovic | every time i want to go in internet i have to type dhclient3 eth0 in terminal.is there ahy way to set it automaticaly ? | 09:27 |
| IronChef | "Use Flag EDitor" | 09:27 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: that's it! :D | 09:27 |
| IronChef | heheh | 09:27 |
| stodorovic | dPetrovic: check /etc/network/* files | 09:28 |
| icqn | my / populates about 7 gigabytes after several years of using and upgrading ubuntu, and I need to free some space to be able to upgrade to 10.04, where can I start? | 09:28 |
| dPetrovic | hvala :) | 09:28 |
| stodorovic | dPetrovic: lol :P | 09:28 |
| leagris | dPetrovic, sudo gedit /etc/network interfaces and ensure dh0 is set up as suggested here: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 09:29 |
| IronChef | i love the new theme on 10.04 - had to change the min/max/close buttons back though | 09:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | me too iron | 09:30 |
| ubuntuaddicted | D: | 09:30 |
| derpderpderp | I've got a problem with 10.04, every time I enable the nvidia driver a whole bunch of other things stop working | 09:30 |
| stodorovic | what does the new theme look like? | 09:30 |
| IronChef | black | 09:30 |
| leagris | dPetrovic, oups file is /etc/network/interfaces and interface is eth0 not dh0 (Ireally should finishing my coffee now :) | 09:30 |
| IronChef | and minimal | 09:30 |
| stodorovic | is that the Vista route? | 09:31 |
| ubuntuaddicted | derp what exactly stops working | 09:31 |
| IronChef | not that annoying brown anymore (appologies) | 09:31 |
| jepes28 | Hi, I have an atom desktop comming and I'll be using it as headless server to download files (and some media conversion). the ram does'nt go above 2 Gig, should I use 64 bit lucid server or just the 32bit lucid server? | 09:31 |
| stodorovic | i quite liked the brown/orange :) | 09:31 |
| derpderpderp | sound, external drives automounting, and a few other things | 09:31 |
| IronChef | stodorovic: no, much simpler and snappy than vista imho | 09:31 |
| dPetrovic | stodorovic: what do you mean with vista route ? | 09:31 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: yeah but ubuntu's playign catch-up to vista ? | 09:31 |
| vivek_ | in my software sources this proposed updates(lucid-proposed) is not checked , the only two things hecked are important security updates and recommended updates.. I have not been getting any updates either.. should the proposed updates be checked | 09:32 |
| IronChef | i'm too old school - it needs to be blue or black, or maybe green for me :-( | 09:32 |
| progesterone | Question: My computer login as my account automatically when booting. How can I make it to ask for password? | 09:32 |
| ubuntuaddicted | derp you activate through hardware driver? | 09:32 |
| leagris | jepes28, 64bit has some RAM usage penalty so you should stay in 32bit. I don't know of the specific atop abilities in 64bits | 09:32 |
| stodorovic | dPetrovic: i thought vista was first to have the black crystal theme? | 09:32 |
| ubuntuaddicted | who cares about wista | 09:32 |
| IronChef | lol | 09:32 |
| derpderpderp | ubuntuaddicted: yes, through jockey-gtk | 09:32 |
| stodorovic | ubuntuaddicted: haha | 09:32 |
| IronChef | win 7 is pretty nice (if you have to use windows that is) | 09:32 |
| IronChef | but vista was just another win 98 imo | 09:33 |
| derpderpderp | ubuntuaddicted: if I disable the driver everything fixes itself (but I'm back to nouveau) | 09:33 |
| guest1 | who can help me? my wireless connection does not auto connect when machine is rebooted | 09:33 |
| stodorovic | to upgrade to new releases, is it the general rule to run do-release-upgrade? (judging from some of the wiki upgrade pages, it is the way to go) | 09:33 |
| IronChef | designed to sell / designed to fail | 09:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | derp already tried to manually install drivers?or maybe a try through envy? | 09:33 |
| ubuntuaddicted | yep iron | 09:33 |

| guest1 | i will try that .. thanks IC | 09:34 |
| IronChef | nps | 09:34 |
| jepes28 | leagris: ok thanks, one last question, should I use the new lucid or the 8.04 server LTS? I was'nt able to try the beta for 10.4 | 09:34 |
| === sajuuk is now known as Guest89745 | ||
| IronChef | jepes28: go for it :-) 10.04 - although i'm strictly rh/centos for servers | 09:35 |
| bullgard4 | llutz: The message is produced by the executable file (bash script) /etc/init.d/umountfs. To understand it better, I need to know what the variable WEAK_MTPTS designates. | 09:35 |
| stodorovic | and what happens if you want to do from 8.04 LTS -> 9.10 ? IntrepidUpgrades does not list an upgrade process. Is it the same as all the other ones? | 09:35 |
| === Votan|off is now known as Votan | ||
| computerx | Hi all, can I please beg for some help with xorg, modeline and my ancient monitor.... | 09:36 |
| leagris | hello, I can not install enigmail-locale-fr as dependencies versions are broken http://paste.ubuntu.com/428155/ is it a know issue or do you know a workaround? I did an apt-get update beforehand. | 09:36 |
| IronChef | stodorovic: i killed 8.04 completely - and reinstalled, imho a fresh install is always better than an upgrade - too many variables in upgrading | 09:36 |
| llutz | bullgard4: i don't use lucid (actually i don't use *buntu here at all), so i cannot help you any further | 09:36 |
| _TexNick_ | i've just installed 10.04 64 bit ... any comments on performance gain ??? | 09:36 |
| IronChef | stodorovic: all gnome settings/home directory stuff (like .ssh) worked fine when copied back | 09:37 |
| leagris | jepes28, final non-beta lucide Ubuntu 10.04 is an LTS and has a server edition. You may try this last one | 09:37 |
| stodorovic | IronChef: well i dont know if it's 8.04 - it might be even earlier release! I'll see when the client drops off the laptop. | 09:37 |
| IronChef | cat /etc/*release* | 09:37 |
| llutz | bullgard4: but grepping for that variable might give you an idea | 09:37 |

| elnur | Somebody, please tell me, if I edit /etc/resolv.conf and then don't restart anything (like processes), will my changes be applied? If yes, then how? | 09:40 |
| sajuukthanatoskh | he seemed willing to help me | 09:40 |

| IronChef | elnur: well no | 09:40 |
| llutz | elnur: they will | 09:40 |
| stodorovic | sajuukthanatoskh: who? | 09:40 |
| ubuntuaddicted | texnick depends on applications..all in all i would say yes..for example blender rendering is really better | 09:40 |
| IronChef | elnur: hmm actually... maybe - i shut up now :-) | 09:40 |
| llutz | elnur: new connections will use the changed settings | 09:40 |
| stodorovic | elnur: yes it will be applied. might take a few moments. not sure why. it might be that apps cache dns results. | 09:41 |
| sajuukthanatoskh | stodorovic, root___, its alright its an easy problem, movies won't play for some strange reason | 09:41 |

| bradley | join | 09:41 |
| elnur | llutz, stodorovic, so, i don't restart anything, right? or there is some process i can restart to make changes apply quicker? | 09:41 |
| llutz | elnur: consider using the package "resolvconf" and specify your dns inside /etc/network/interfaces, no need to modify /etc/resolv.conf manually | 09:42 |
| Ian_Corne | Where can i find the post-install script so i can fix it to remove a package? : http://pastebin.com/m1Z4D20a | 09:42 |

| dhruvasagar | btw | 09:53 |
| old_r | no takers on the rssdler problem? | 09:53 |
| dhruvasagar | since I saw Pyrokinetics mention vnc | 09:53 |
| dhruvasagar | you should check out teamviewer | 09:54 |

| Lunar_Lamp | I've upgraded to lucid, and now I constantly get network errors when I attempt to sign into my MSN accounts using empathy. Jabber accounts work in empathy, and the same MSN accounts work in pidgin. Are there any known issues and/or fixes? | 09:54 |
| omac | The usb key boots, but while the bootup is starting it give the "unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,1)" | 09:54 |
| dhruvasagar | Pyrokinetics: you might want to check out teamviewer | 09:54 |
| Pyrokinetics | dhruvasagar: yeah teamviewer works great until i tried with multiple screens and now it hangs :D | 09:55 |
| omac | and let me say it's the first time I see the caps and scroll lock keys blink like crazy when it locks up. | 09:55 |
| dhruvasagar | Pyrokinetics: multiple screens ? | 09:55 |
| computerx | Sooo, any ideas why ubuntu is ignoring my xorg.conf? | 09:55 |
| stodorovic | omac: missing usb drivers? missing sata/scsi/block/ext2/ext3/$your_filesystem_driver ? | 09:55 |
| Pyrokinetics | dhruvasagar: i got two monitors and a TV connected (seems like teamviewer doesn't like that) | 09:55 |
| ibuclaw | omac, fyi - blinking caps + scroll is a kernel panic. | 09:55 |
| dhruvasagar | Pyrokinetics: hmmm interesting i've never tried that :) | 09:55 |
| stodorovic | omac: blinking keyboard lights are signs of kernel panic. VFS cant find your root-fs so it panics up. | 09:56 |
| omac | that's right! It is a kernel panic. | 09:56 |
| Pyrokinetics | dhruvasagar: its still beta for linux suport so im praying for a new version to see if that solves it | 09:56 |
| leagris | omac, installing from the alternate CD may help | 09:56 |
| omac | It can't find my root-fs when it should. It is an 8GB flash drive. It has 4GB for persistent storage and then the other 4GB seems to be used in the vfat. | 09:57 |
| dhruvasagar | Pyrokinetics: yea its beta. I found it one of the better options too. | 09:57 |
| lbt | with upstart do you have to teach other services about your service? ..... eg autofs needs statd. statd says "start on (started portmap or mounting TYPE=nfs)" which I assume needs to go to "start on (started portmap or started autofs or mounting TYPE=nfs)" | 09:57 |

| ibuclaw | omac, what are the 2 filesystems formatted as? | 09:58 |
| omac | on the usb-key that is? | 09:58 |
| Pyrokinetics | dhruvasagar: do you know about any viewers that locks the computer when i connect to it (like MS remote desktop does) | 09:58 |
| omac | in order to boot with windows compatibility, the main one is vfat. | 09:58 |
| omac | Then the usb creator tool asks to create persistent storage...4GB for that. | 09:59 |
| omac | I would assume it is ext3 or ext4 for the persistent storage....I don't know. | 09:59 |
| quietone | I was happily using the external monitor and then I brought up the display-properties gui and bye bye external monitor. how can i get it back? | 09:59 |
| stodorovic | omac: /boot/grub/menu.* ? hmm it would depend on whether the other devices are detected and read... sdd1 might be your USB drive when you installed, but if the usb drive does not detect all the disk controllers due to missing drivers, then it would be sda1... though i'll need to check what block 8,1 is | 09:59 |
| quiritius | how do i change default locale? i want to have en_US, but no matter what i do the 'locale' still lists en_GB. in files /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale en_US.utf8 is set. | 09:59 |

| omac | stodorovic: I would love to tell you more diagnostic information, but ubuntu's last startup stuff has taken off all the debug info with this user gui. I remember when startups were verbose. I liked it that way. Right now I have no clue about wrong drivers or not. Usually sda1 should be my one and only usb drive. | 10:04 |
| omac | But it shouldn't rely on that. | 10:04 |
| quiritius | kjele_: locale lists all params to be set to en_GB.utf8 | 10:04 |

| DavidJHeinrich | hi all | 10:04 |
| stodorovic | omac: do you have any IDE hard drvies? (ie. PATA drives) | 10:04 |
| DavidJHeinrich | can anyone tell me, do the SATA 6GB/s ports make any difference? | 10:05 |
| omac | all things considered, it is a usb key and it's not supposed to persist the hardware config information. It defeats the purpose of the live usb drive. | 10:05 |
| kjele_ | quiritius: Have you exported that locale in .bashrc or similiar files? | 10:05 |
| DavidJHeinrich | hard-drives (except $2k SSDs) aren't even up to 10% of the capacity of 3 GB/s SATA | 10:05 |

| bronto2 | gucko, i'd backup my home folder, things that start with a dot that is | 10:07 |
| omac | I don't have my usb flash drive plugged into my computer right now. I don't trust the 10.04 usb key any more. | 10:07 |
| bronto2 | gucko, in nautilus try ctrl+h to show you those | 10:07 |

| gucko | bronto2: does it contain all the configuarations I did? | 10:08 |
| omac | Anyways, I've said my say. There are issues with this release. | 10:08 |
| bronto2 | gucko, not sure | 10:08 |
| stodorovic | omac: so it's as if the usb pen drive's boot config is getting the usb kernel to use sda1 (your swap) as the rootfs and it just doesnt encounter a valid filesystem there | 10:08 |
| geekphreak | gucko: you can also use something like clonezilla or partimage | 10:08 |

| leagris | hello geekphreak, news from two days ago my troubles with thunderbird are solved. A process from thunderbird was still running and blocked me from seeing changes in configuration. | 10:11 |
| wildbat | stodorovic, kinda but different algorithm of coz | 10:11 |
| stodorovic | coz? | 10:11 |
| omac | The usb-key should not be using my hard-drive at all! It is a live usb key after all! | 10:11 |
| geekphreak | leagris: oh ok kewl :) | 10:11 |
| kjele_ | quiritius: So you might have files that is exporting the wrong locale in your home | 10:11 |
| stodorovic | omac: sounds like it's a boot key rather than a full live cd key. ie. it's only used for booting an installed linux if the boot process is broken. Slackware did this also AFAIK. | 10:12 |
| Jie_Sheng | geekphreak: thanks. | 10:12 |
| stodorovic | omac: especially if it was created during the install process. | 10:12 |
| omac | the usb-key should not be accessing anything from sda. It should stick to the sdb device because it is not supposed to write anything to the harddrive or touch the harddrive while booting from the live usb-key. That was the point. | 10:12 |
| geekphreak | Jie_Sheng: what problem you facing, i know mysql is locked by remote normally, check iptables rules? | 10:12 |
| Jie_Sheng | geekphreak: erm, i disable ufw, does iptables still in effect? | 10:13 |
| wildbat | stodorovic, coz = cause ;p | 10:13 |
| quiritius | kjele_: hm, the new user indeed has en_US.utf8 both cli login and GUI. the 'old' user cli login also shows en_US. So it is exported somewhere. but where? | 10:13 |
| geekphreak | Jie_Sheng: yes | 10:13 |

| stodorovic | haha | 10:14 |
| wildbat | stodorovic, bad habit from online game chatting ;p | 10:14 |
| omac | stodorovic: It's a live usb-key, but the usb-creator does ask If I want some persistent storage on the key. I said 4GB. From what I understand, it's still a live bootable usb key. It shouldn't ever touch the hard-drive unless I specifically mount it after the gui boots up. | 10:14 |
| stodorovic | omac: are you sure it's a live usb key? where did you get the image from? | 10:15 |
| === Galerien__ is now known as Gal | ||

| Gal | Hi every one, I was just wondering if there was any news about the ati proprietary drivers and ubuntu 10.04?? | 10:16 |
| omac | ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso | 10:16 |
| kjele_ | quiritius: Well that would be hard to see. ~/.bashrc ~/.profile ~/.bashprofile | 10:16 |
| omac | ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 10:16 |
| stodorovic | omac: so you ran dd of the image to the pen drive? | 10:16 |
| omac | no. | 10:16 |
| omac | I ran the usb-creator from ubuntu 9.10 and told it to use the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso on the usb-key. | 10:17 |
| kjele_ | quiritius: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)#Startup_scripts | 10:17 |
| wildbat | Gal, not that i know of | 10:17 |
| omac | system->adminstration->usb startup disk creator | 10:18 |
| stodorovic | omac: in that case, ubuntu's probably doing some black-magic-art there and I dont know what usb-creator does. It could just create a usb version of the install CD image without the live-cd desktop support, or perhaps just copy the image to the usb drive so you can use it like that. who knows. | 10:18 |
| Gal | wildbat: ok, because I managed to get direct render actif and to get back some desktop effect, but I can't use opengl or anything... | 10:18 |
| wesguin | Gal, I saw a web page yesterday that showed a fix for it... something about fixing the splash | 10:18 |
| qwd | How can I do a minimal install with 10.04? I just want the absolute basics so I can then download the rest from the repos as the installation hangs otherwise and this might be the solution. | 10:18 |
| Gal | wesguin: fixing the splash? don't know what this is... | 10:19 |
| quiritius | kjele_: thanks! i will try to dig this up. some of the settings are several years old on my system so it will take me some time :) | 10:19 |
| Jie_Sheng | geekphreak: erm there is man but it is not in /etc/init.d | 10:19 |
| stodorovic | omac: but like i said, i have encountered another distro that creates a usb startup disk and all it is is a boot platform to boot up your *already installed* system | 10:19 |
| geekphreak | well try to dsiable it for test | 10:19 |
| wesguin | Gal, well its the new one ubuntu switched to | 10:19 |
| wildbat | wesguin, you have a url taht i can follow? | 10:19 |

| geekphreak | Jie_Sheng: no iptables? | 10:22 |
| omac | stodorovic: this is not a rescue image. It really is a cd-image that I installed on a usb-key. It worked yesterday on one the computers at work, but when I tried it on another computer at work, it didn't and then the usb-key hasn't recovered from that state. It really is saving some hardware-detection state in the persistent storage when it shouldn't. At least that's what I perceive. | 10:22 |
| Jie_Sheng | geekphreak: i cant find a way to disable the iptables | 10:22 |
| Jie_Sheng | geekphreak: and i dont think it is configured also | 10:22 |

| coolape | okay.. and then? | 11:04 |

| Guillem_ | My upgrade process frozen during the package configuration process. I could go on since at startup reached the console login, where it asked me to do a "dpkg --reconfigure all" or something alike. It frozen again, but at the third I finished the process. The question is, is there any pending task? | 11:05 |
| wesguin | dillon, any luck adding a new user account? | 11:05 |
| wesguin | or do you need sudo... haha | 11:05 |

| callum1 | Hi all, Using gnome-do I have managed to hook it up to my thunderbird contacts. This works fine. I have also changed my default mail to thunderbird. My problem is when i type in an email address -> tab -> email -> enter it opens a new compose email but the "TO" field is not populated with the address I selected. any ideas? | 11:45 |
| pepee | jrib, codification | 11:45 |
| jrib | pepee: you need to be more specific... | 11:46 |
| jud | dhruvasagar: another strange thing is that when i do a search on that email, about 15 reference emails comeup but searching them doesn't reveal that address? | 11:47 |

| dhruvasagar | raven: it's just like irb | 11:48 |

| MacB | Excuse me, what does holdin down "c" key during the boot of the Live CD do? | 11:51 |
| MacB | Since that is the only way I can get it to boot? :D | 11:51 |
| Oprtz | i am using TP Link wirless Card for connecting to Internet, my wirless router is barley 5 feet away from the pC, but it shows only 14% connectivty. why is that? | 11:51 |
| wesguin | yeah it'll say 64 usually at the end | 11:51 |
| jrib | MacB: on macs, that's how you tell it you want to boot from cd | 11:51 |

| boso | is there an ubuntu games channel? | 11:51 |
| jud | dhruvasagar: i was just gonna say, they must either be lying or forgot setting up forwarding but why would a search on their address reveal vacant references? | 11:52 |
| e-DIO-t | : on macs, that's how you tell it you want to boot from cd | 11:52 |
| e-DIO-t | <theadmin> e-fr | 11:52 |
| theadmin | e-DIO-t: wha. | 11:52 |
| MacB | jrib no, I mean AFTER telling it that | 11:52 |
| e-DIO-t | "Linux **** 2.6.31-19-server #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 03:40:48 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux" yep you where right | 11:52 |
| MacB | I choose to boot it from the CD by pressing the alt/option key, and after that I have to hold down "c" or it will freeze up :P | 11:52 |
| MacB | Sounds slightly voodoo if you ask me, but it actually works... :D | 11:52 |
| nikhil_ | assistance will be appreciated... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9239913 | 11:53 |
| jrib | MacB: erm don't know. But if you don't use alt/option and just hold c, that works for booting for cd | 11:53 |
| wesguin | yay | 11:53 |
| MacB | But I'm just quite scared of installing for real since I got no idea what happens | 11:53 |
| dhruvasagar | jud: well you searched for their addresses, but if they're forwarding, then you need to look for address which are forwarding emails to those addresses, which I don't think is possible anyways | 11:53 |
| e-frame | theadmin: pm | 11:53 |
| jrib | MacB: are you planning on dual booting? | 11:53 |
| MacB | Yeye but jrib, what does holding c do after I've choosen to boot from the CD... | 11:53 |
| MacB | jrib, yes | 11:53 |
| dhruvasagar | jud: I think it might be a better idea to perhaps try and create the groups again | 11:53 |
| Oprtz | i am using TP Link wirless Card for connecting to Internet, my wirless router is barley 5 feet away from the pC, but it shows only 14% connectivty. why is that? | 11:53 |

| MacB | Yup, have it installed | 11:53 |
| MacB | Have the needed space here | 11:53 |
| budlust | i installed wine then uninstalled it, now when I go to "open with" it has stuff like "a wine application" and "wine browser" . is there anyway to remove this? | 11:54 |
| MacB | All I'm looking for now is the answer to "what does holding down 'c' button during bootup of the live cd do?" :D | 11:54 |
| MacB | As in, do I have the balls to go for the actual install ;) | 11:54 |
| pepee | jrib, nevermind, now konsole is working fine | 11:54 |

| wesguin | VirusTB, thanks for what? | 11:55 |
| theadmin | ? | 11:55 |
| jud | dhruvasagar: yeah but i'm just wondering why a search on that address would find 15 references that when you open them, they're are vacant. my search wouldn't pickup their forwarding arrangements would it? | 11:55 |
| jquiterio | theadmin, i was type the command "startx" but i can't see my desktop | 11:55 |
| budlust | kjdro: ya | 11:55 |
| jrib | MacB: you should be fine then, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook (or the page for the type of mac you have) and make sure you checksum the cd. For the question about holding down 'c', maybe try the mac channels | 11:55 |
| kjdro | i wonder what wnet wrong with my install ? (it's a fresh install, the one i'm chating from) | 11:56 |

| VirusTB | wesguin, "uname -a" thanks | 11:56 |
| MacB | jrib I think it should be something about the liveCD | 11:57 |
| wesguin | oh np :) | 11:57 |
| dhruvasagar | jud: no it wouldn't pickup any forwarding stuff, that's a setting that the person would have done on that accounts side. I think its possible to have duplicate entries for same addresses or something of that sort, something must have gone wrong in your mail address list. Gmail has some features relating to contacts that can be rather strange | 11:57 |
| Mandrew | now i cant get the bluetooth to find my phone :( | 11:57 |
| jrib | MacB: shouldn't be | 11:57 |
| MacB | Since at this point I'm through the basic boot stuff... That is what is puzzling me | 11:57 |
| MacB | Yes, I know. :P Shouldn't be, but is! | 11:57 |
| MacB | That's the whole reason why I'm here ;) | 11:57 |
| jrib | MacB: you're using refit to boot from the cd though | 11:57 |
| jud | dhruvasagar: ok, so, even if i set up the groups again, how would i cross correlate an address with one that is detected yet doesn't seem to exist in the data bank? | 11:58 |
| dhruvasagar | jud: it adds email addresses in your address book automatically if you send an email to them / chat with them, so over time your email address list tends to bloat a lot and you are bound to end up having a lot of addresses (often similar) in your address book | 11:58 |

| wesguin | krazykrivda, the ubuntu 10.04 has the nicest desktop features.. at least in my opinion | 12:09 |

| benjamintheyon | krazykrivda: On Ubuntu. Go ahead and hit ctrl+alt+right arrow...then ctrl+alt+left arrow to come back, for instance. You can quickly switch between several workspaces. Maybe a project in one, a reference for a command you don't use often in another? No minimizing windows, just quick swap | 12:11 |

| benjamintheyon | krazykrivda: The real beauty of Ubuntu for me is kind of intangible. For me, it wasn't like LOOK AT THIS CRAZY FEATURE! It is more of a subtle undercurrent...everything is just designed smoothly and with cleverness and easily usable function in mind, if that makes sense | 12:16 |
| leagris | VirusTB, I guess there are several sections in Ubuntu docs about development tools. I am a very casual developer myself. The environment you choose will most depend on your expectations. Eclipse is a very common industry wide multi-platform IDE but it is like a heavy lawnmower :). Some old school geeks prefer console tools with gnu-emacs or just vi and editing build files and sources. Development tool choice in Ubuntu/Linux is quite extended. | 12:17 |
| krazykrivda | benjamintheyon: yeah, that makes sense.. | 12:17 |

| Grexeo | scunizi: Skype - we need to send messages to staff and unfortunately they only provide a client API | 12:20 |
| scunizi | stodorovic: fine.. don't complain here .. help is offered when someone knows the answer.. if you don't get an answer right away.. wait a while.. more people will be logging in. If you dislike it that much switch distros | 12:20 |

| scunizi | Grexeo: ouch.. so you need a minimal install of the gui environment.. by installing xfce4 (xubuntu's default desktop) or gnome it should pull the required x libraries needed.. don't install ubuntu-desktop .. that will pull in the entire environment | 12:23 |

| wesguin | budlust, hey maybe it's in /usr/share/applications | 12:23 |
| noobdude | hi, could someone help me with a small problem? | 12:23 |
| leagris | Grexeo, really there are free and more server able tools like XMPP or SIP protocol message gateways to send voice and text. If you really need skype and its client only work with X. You may try only installing xserver-xorg and some lite window manager like windowmaker or XFCE. | 12:23 |
| theadmin | noobdude: Name the problem. | 12:24 |
| llutz | stodorovic: on most desktops you easily can remove nm and use ifupdown | 12:24 |
| SandGorgon | !ask | noobdude | 12:24 |
| ubottu | noobdude: 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. :-) | 12:24 |

| Chripher | jrib: i took very long time to hash this cd anyway to speed it up would be nice | 12:25 |
| noobdude | i got very low download speeds when im using wireless lan | 12:25 |
| stodorovic | llutz: well that might be the case but it took too long to figure out what it could be causing the problem. I suspect it is the NM, but not proved it. there's just no feedback to the user as to what could be wrong. | 12:25 |
| llutz | scunizi: desktop ~ no roaming between different networks | 12:25 |

| stodorovic | bs=1 ouch that will be slow | 12:26 |
| theadmin | noobdude: Is it only on Ubuntu? | 12:26 |
| Grexeo | leagris: Skype is a requirement as it's the only client which provides us with free mobile messaging | 12:26 |
| noobdude | yep | 12:26 |
| llutz | Chripher: use "bs=4k" and no count= | 12:26 |
| SandGorgon | noobdude, are you using bittorrent ? is the download faster when on wired - the assumption being wireless and wired connection are going through the same router (not a situation like wireless is through router and wired is connected directly to modem) | 12:26 |
| scunizi | llutz: oh.. I haven't played with it for wireless.. but it's the only one that allows me to set a static ip.. NM I could but it wouldn't stick for reboots.. real pain | 12:27 |
| llutz | Chripher: "md5sum /dev/sr0" | 12:27 |
| noobdude | yep the download is on highspeed if wired and no im not using bittorrent or any othe p2p prgrams | 12:27 |
| llutz | scunizi: all that "userspace" tools are pointless imho on 99% of installations. just set /e/n/interfaces once (+wpa-supplicant for wifi) and be happy | 12:28 |
| leagris | Grexeo, too bad, you could had nice and powerfool phone gateway with Asterisk, but this one needs gateways for SMS and MMS | 12:28 |

| theadmin | VirusTB: Yeah, Netbeans is cross-platform | 12:31 |
| leagris | VirusTB, yes. This is a java based runtime so it can work on any platform using java | 12:31 |

| SandGorgon | theadmin, cant it be stripped down - we need it for grails + java with maybe mercurial integration | 12:37 |
| VirusTB | stodorovic, and/or its in my class schedule that we gonna learn them both, at this momment, i know NOTHING about them.. i only know HTML :P | 12:38 |

| halicon | thanks eein, i read that alot of people were able to get it working i am just not knowledgeable enough to get around it heh. I didn't know if there was a way to boot into a term rather than gnome | 13:16 |
| bullgard4 | [Inkscape] I have drawn an equilateral triangle. How can I rotate it by 40°? | 13:16 |
| llutz | eein: grep DHCPACK /var/log/syslog | 13:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | bullgard http://www.inkscape.org/doc/tips/tutorial-tips.html | 13:16 |
| landswipe | sorry that should have been 'sudo mount -o loop ~/.android/avd/MyAvd/sdcard.img /media/sdcard' | 13:16 |
| ubuntuaddicted | look for object rotation | 13:16 |
| eein | halicon, take a look at this http://communities.vmware.com/thread/261454 | 13:17 |
| === phnom_ is now known as phnom | ||
| Pici | landswipe: If you prefer, I believe you can use fuse to mount cd images so you don't have to involve root at all. One application that does this is furiusisomount. I don't recall the cli method to do this off the top of my head. | 13:17 |
| id10t | anyone familiar with samba and veto'ing files? trying to solve a mac issue on a stand alone samba box | 13:18 |
| halicon | thankyou very much eein im gonna check it out | 13:18 |
| geekphreak | landswipe: you talking about iso's right? | 13:18 |
| === pixel is now known as pixil | ||
| landswipe | i guess | 13:19 |
| landswipe | i think the problem is that the filesystem itself that is mounted is clamped to root | 13:19 |
| landswipe | so I tried 'sudo chmod 777 /media/sdcard' and it tells me permission denied | 13:20 |
| eein | llutz, thanks hm looks like i get leases from both not so good | 13:20 |
| artypig78 | technically, is a version number "4.20" older or newer than a version number "4.3 | 13:23 |
| orestis_ | could you please answer to that 10 question survey, its for my uni project. thankss http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=t553mepp3adyuun753902 | 13:23 |
| BobMarley | Hi. How can i get "projectM" working in Lucid? | 13:23 |
| physically_fit | so in lucid i updated from grub to grub2. everything went fine until i used the command $sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy to finish it and now i can't boot my pc: it says "grub loading, please wait ERROR 15" i think i should've marked all the devices not just linux. what do i do next? :( | 13:23 |
| artypig78 | technically, is a version number "4.20" older or newer than a version number "4.3 | 13:23 |
| orestis_ | sorry for being off topic | 13:23 |
| llutz | orestis_: version 20 is higher/newer than 3 | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 13:24 |
| durre | is this the right way of uninstalling mysql on ubuntu? sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server-5.1 .... cause it seems to hang the terminal :( | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | artypig78: not to be cofnused with version 4.2.0 vs 4.3.0 :) 20 is higher. | 13:24 |
| geekphreak | durre: yes sir | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | is plymouth reliant on GTK? | 13:24 |
| artypig78 | thanks Dr_Willis and llutz ;) | 13:24 |
| geekphreak | durre: shutoff mysql server first to be on safe side | 13:25 |
| marienz | artypig78: and of course that's just according to the rules the package manager uses. Some projects may have different rules (which makes it a bit harder to package them sanely) | 13:25 |
| geekphreak | Dr_Willis: hello buddy | 13:25 |
| halicon | eein thankyou very much the work around worked | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | hay geekphreak | 13:25 |
| barberan | what I can do interesting on my ubuntu | 13:25 |
| physically_fit | help me what did i do wrong? | 13:25 |
| geekphreak | durre: sudo service mysqld stop | 13:25 |
| geekphreak | barberan: sorry? | 13:26 |
| marienz | ActionParsnip: you should probably poke around a bit with "apt-cache show" or the like. Looks like plymouth itself does not, but plymouth-label (used by the default logo theme) does depend on pango (not gtk itself though) | 13:26 |
| physically_fit | how do i use the command $sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy after it shows me all the devices? do i mark them all? | 13:26 |
| === trogdor is now known as Guest8449 | ||
| durre | geekphreak: shut down with /etc/init.d/mysql stop? cause that one gives me: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; .... and so on | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | marienz: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24328/ found this and wondered if the guy was talking crap | 13:26 |
| geekphreak | durre: use sudo , that will work too | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | physically_fit: you want to mark the HD you are booting from normally ie: /dev/sda NOT /dev/sda1 | 13:27 |
| geekphreak | durre: think it is mysqld | 13:27 |
| BobMarley | Anyone here use "projectM" visuals on a music player? If so, how can I set it up? | 13:27 |
| physically_fit | Dr_Willis, one disk i have win XP and linux on diff partitions | 13:28 |
| durre | sudo service mysql stop stop: Job has already been stopped | 13:28 |
| marienz | ActionParsnip: ah, he's right, I missed that package | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | marienz: gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up :) | 13:29 |
| durre | geekphreak: it says mysql is already stopped. mysqld was not recognized | 13:29 |
| physically_fit | Dr_Willis, it's just one disk | 13:29 |
| id10t | dang i love doing updates and dist upgrades from a local apt mirror | 13:29 |
| SandGorgon | is there a upstart service manager that lets me choose services (like mysql.etc.) that should be started/not-started on boot ? | 13:29 |
| geekphreak | durre: well thats good then , try uninstalling now or do sudo dpkg -r --purge package | 13:29 |
| Stavros | hello | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: bum may do it | 13:29 |
| BobMarley | SandGorgon: No, unfortunately not | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | Stavros | 13:29 |
| ubottu | Stavros: 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! | 13:29 |
| Stormcr0w | Hi everyone: I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit). When I select Ubuntu in the bootloader, there is a delay and inactivity period of about 40 seconds when the screen is completely blank and the HD makes no sound before the system starts to boot. This is my grub.cfg: http://pastebin.com/AJQB94GD. This is my kern.log: http://pastebin.com/L3DGFad2. A video of my boot-up sequence... | 13:29 |
| Stavros | how can i list all the upstart jobs that run on startup? | 13:29 |
| marienz | SandGorgon: I'm pretty sure that's still controlled through the sysv compatibility layer | 13:29 |
| Stormcr0w | ...in verbose mode can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUnc2iBeXmw. Any ideas? | 13:29 |
| hateball | !oem | 13:30 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 13:30 |
| BobMarley | Upstart has no front-end | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: do you eventually get a desktop? | 13:30 |
| SandGorgon | marienz ActionParsnip, BobMarley I used to use sysv-rc-conf, but that may no longer be applicable, since I dont see entries for mysql in there | 13:30 |
| jpds | Stavros: initctl list | 13:30 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Yes, I do. | 13:30 |
| BobMarley | So if that's what you want, you will have to wait. The devs are working on one. | 13:30 |
| marienz | Stavros: and that's somewhat impossible, since it's event-driven, it doesn't have a target set of services it tries to get started. | 13:30 |
| === Test is now known as Guest51500 | ||
| === zand_ is now known as xand | ||
| BobMarley | SandGorgon: Sysv-rc-conf is for SysV services, not upstart jobs. It has no effect on upstart. | 13:30 |
| Stavros | BobMarley: nah, command line is fine | 13:30 |
| geekphreak | durre: just use the -r , it should work | 13:30 |
| marienz | SandGorgon: I haven't checked if mysql has a pure upstart init script. If it does you may have to edit the script directly. | 13:31 |
| Stavros | jpds: that lists all of them :/ | 13:31 |
| stavros_ | I have mounted my previous home drive as an external drive and my wrapped-passphrase file has been overwritten with a different one, making my files inaccessible. Any way I can save them? This is my entire life's work :/ | 13:31 |
| Stavros | marienz: hmm, so how can i prevent one from starting at startup? | 13:31 |
| marienz | Stavros: that depends on why it is getting started. | 13:31 |
| Stavros | marienz: and how can i see that? :P | 13:31 |
| marienz | Stavros: which job is it? | 13:31 |
| BobMarley | all scripts in /etc/init are upstart | 13:31 |
| SandGorgon | BobMarley, what I meant was that _earlier_ I used sysv-rc-conf | 13:31 |
| marienz | Stavros: I'm not very good at this yet, but I may be able to figure ito ut. | 13:31 |
| BobMarley | to stop them from booting go into the foo.conf file and edit out the "start on" lines (may be more than one). | 13:31 |
| Stavros | marienz: mongodb, but i need to know generally | 13:31 |
| patrickd | I've been trying to add my facebook account to empthy on a fresh install of lucid but the 'chat' connection won't authenticate. Anyone any suggestions | 13:31 |
| Stavros | BobMarley: hmm, where is this conf file? | 13:32 |
| durre | geekphreak: says: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process ... I'll try a restart and do it again but I dont have much hope :s | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: your kern.log doesn't have any massive gaps which you describe, strange, is there anything suspect in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 13:32 |
| geekphreak | durre: , please do restart bud | 13:32 |
| BobMarley | Stavros: /etc/init | 13:32 |
| Stavros | BobMarley: since it's event-driven, i'm trying to find all the events and remove them, but hmm | 13:32 |
| Stavros | ah, let me check | 13:32 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Let me have a quick look. Please see the vid, to see what I mean. My suspicion is that the gap comes before the log begins to be taken. | 13:32 |
| marienz | Stavros: it's using the sysv runlevel compat stuff. I think you'll have to just edit /etc/init/mongodb and change which runlevels it starts in. | 13:33 |
| Stavros | ah, there it is, thanks | 13:33 |
| Stavros | marienz: indeed, looks like it, thanks | 13:33 |
| physically_fit | so i can't boot lucid anymore. i have a ubuntu karmic cd, how can i fix my grub (i tried to update from grub to grub2 and it went bad :( what command or menu do i use? | 13:33 |
| blackratdog | my check mail option in kmail is greyed out. if this is because it it is in offline mode, how do i get it onine | 13:33 |
| Stavros | however, the command line doesn't have any "start not on <whatever>" | 13:33 |
| marienz | Stavros: (the "start on" line, as mentioned by BobMarley) | 13:33 |
| Stavros | it only has "stop on" which will probably create a "stop on" line under the "start on" line | 13:33 |
| Stavros | isn't this a bit odd? | 13:33 |
| geekphreak | physically_fit: did you read the link for grub2? | 13:33 |
| optimus_t | guys any problems with lucid? should i install ;) | 13:33 |
| physically_fit | geekphreak, no, i'll scroll up | 13:34 |
| marienz | Stavros: wait, what? | 13:34 |
| geekphreak | optimus_t: sure go for it | 13:34 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: This is my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/XiQvZKAH | 13:34 |
| geekphreak | !grub2 | physically_fit | 13:34 |
| ubottu | physically_fit: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 13:34 |
| marienz | Stavros: where do you see a "stop on" commandline thing? | 13:34 |
| Stavros | marienz: ah, i misunderstood, i thought "start on" was also a command-line command | 13:34 |
| Stavros | apparently not and the only way to add events is to edit the config file, thanks | 13:34 |
| marienz | Stavros: you can manually start/stop upstart jobs, but that is terrifying and I'm not doing it anymore. Let me find you the bug. | 13:34 |
| Stavros | marienz: hmm, why is it terrifying? i want to remove the job from startup so i can start it manually, shouldn't i? | 13:35 |
| marienz | Stavros: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/557177 | 13:35 |
| Stavros | marienz: wtf | 13:36 |
| marienz | Stavros: so you *really* shouldn't manually mess with jobs unless you've read and understood the init script first. | 13:36 |
| Stavros | marienz: isn't doing "start mongodb" the same as starting it on startup? | 13:36 |
| Stavros | or does it hit this bug? | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: very weird, well its before the kernel is loaded and after grub. Have you tested your ram for errors? I also suggest you pull down the ultimate boot cd and check your drive for issues | 13:36 |
| marienz | Stavros: now the ones that are normally "start on runlevel [...]" I'm pretty sure you can still start/stop by hand. | 13:36 |
| marienz | Stavros: but you *really* do not want to manually mess with them without checking first, at least not until that bug gets fixed. | 13:37 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Test RAM for errors? Through the BIOS you mean? | 13:37 |
| Stavros | marienz: i guess what i'm saying is, is "initctl start" exactly the same as "start"? | 13:37 |
| marienz | Stavros: just because it's in /etc/init/ apparently doesn't mean it's something you can safely start/stop | 13:37 |
| Stavros | hmm | 13:37 |
| marienz | Stavros: I believe it is. | 13:37 |
| thesheff17 | for startup scripts you can use update-rc.d foobar remove | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: no, its in the grub menua (hold shift at boot) | 13:37 |
| marienz | Stavros: (but you should check! upstart scares me and I haven't had a reason to really dig into it yet) | 13:37 |
| thesheff17 | and it won't start during startup | 13:37 |
| Maximo | I am a newbie: can any1 tell the command for upgrading to 10:04LTS? | 13:38 |
| Maximo | thanks | 13:38 |
| Stavros | thesheff17: that doesn't work with upstart, i think :/ | 13:38 |
| theadmin | Maximo: sudo do-release-upgrade | 13:38 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Ah, ok, thanks. And download UBCD... | 13:38 |
| Stavros | marienz: hmm, i will, thanks, all i need to stop is this db | 13:38 |
| Maximo | theadmin: thanks alot | 13:38 |
| geekphreak | theadmin: hello sir | 13:38 |
| SandGorgon | hmm.. in "/etc/init/mysql.conf" adding "start on (runlevel [!0123456])" will disable the job from starting up on boot | 13:38 |
| theadmin | geekphreak: ohai | 13:38 |
| Stavros | SandGorgon: that should work, yep | 13:39 |
| marienz | unfortunately upstart doesn't seem to actually have a configuration layer (and I have no clue why those scripts are in /etc/ either, they don't really seem to belong there imho) | 13:39 |
| SandGorgon | Stavros, sigh... painful.. | 13:39 |
| Stavros | :/ | 13:40 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Which drive test tool do you recommend from the UBCD? | 13:40 |
| theadmin | marienz: they were in /etc/ with sysvinit as well. | 13:40 |
| marienz | theadmin: I didn't like it then either :) | 13:40 |
| Stavros | marienz: that bug is terrifying in that the maintainer said "yeah, don't run it then | 13:41 |
| theadmin | marienz: Well, a lot of stuff goes to /etc :D | 13:41 |
| marienz | Stavros: yes :( | 13:41 |
| marienz | Stavros: hence my earlier recommendation not to run *any* script in /etc/init/ you haven't read, since apparently making these foolproof is *absolutely* not a priority for upstream | 13:41 |
| Stavros | yeah :/ | 13:42 |
| geekphreak | hmm interesting | 13:42 |
| balkierode | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Hsfy9N4t | 13:42 |
| balkierode | this the error i get when i try invoking ubuntuone-preferences | 13:42 |
| balkierode | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Hsfy9N4t | 13:42 |
| marienz | theadmin: normally if it's in /etc/ it's something you can edit. I don't think I've ever edited in /etc/init.d/, I always edited /etc/default/ or something else that gets read by /etc/init.d/ | 13:42 |
| theadmin | what th--- why is /dev/sda2 suddenly unmounted o_O | 13:42 |
| Draiden | I've got a small question. How can I connect to my remote desktop on Ubuntu | 13:43 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Also, do you thing it might be a problem with Grub? | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: the CD has the main manufacturers tools on there, use the one for your make to low level test | 13:43 |
| Draiden | so I have a Ubuntu machine and I want to connect towards it through remote desktop | 13:43 |
| SandGorgon | is there any alternative for upstart as a service manager ? I can see how this can be very painful for a server setup, where any custom services may have a dependency and all | 13:43 |
| marienz | theadmin: see also for example udev, which keeps the rules you should edit in /etc/udev/rules.d/ but keeps rules installed by packages you shouldn't need to edit in /lib/udev/rules.d/. I think init scripts really should be doing something similar. | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: could be but ive never messed with grub except to disable ipv6 | 13:43 |
| theadmin | marienz: Well, it is possible to edit stuff in /etc/init/ or in /etc/init.d/ - i just don't really see any point to | 13:44 |
| SandGorgon | ActionParsnip, you can disable ipv6 through sysctl.cnf.. just FYI | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Draiden: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html | 13:44 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: I haven't been following along, but if you're thinking of hd testing make sure you've tried running a smart selftest | 13:44 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: I see, thank you all the same. I am downloading the cd now. Will restart and test. Will let you know if you are still here when I get back. | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: i do it at kernel level in /etc/defaul/grub | 13:44 |
| Maximo | admin: are you there? | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Stormcr0w: remember to md5 test ;) | 13:44 |
| marienz | theadmin: yeah, you're not supposed to need to for /etc/init.d/ Usually /etc/init.d/ has code, with configurable variables sourced in from /etc/default/ | 13:44 |
| Draiden | ActionParsnip, Thanks a lot :) | 13:44 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: from within Lucid? | 13:45 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: for example. | 13:45 |
| SandGorgon | ActionParsnip, is it more appropriate/effective that way ? | 13:45 |
| Stormcr0w | ActionParsnip: Indeed | 13:45 |
| theadmin | Draiden: You might also want to take a look at TeamViewer, for simplicity's sake. | 13:45 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: or off a livecd. "smartctl -t long" iirc (but check the manpage) and there are gui tools as well. | 13:45 |
| theadmin | Maximo: Was that intended to go to me? :D | 13:45 |
| Draiden | theadmin, yeah I know that app :) | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: not sure but it works. I do add a lot of other guff in there to make the web a little faster | 13:45 |
| Maximo | admin: I did the sudo do-release-upgrade and it says no upgrade available what is wrong? | 13:45 |
| Maximo | thanks | 13:45 |
| theadmin | Draiden: They have a Linux version, really worth a shot, i sezzit | 13:45 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: the vast majority of drives support smart, and it usually does a pretty good job of testing (comparable to running drive-specific tools) | 13:45 |
| SandGorgon | ActionParsnip, could you paste your config ? | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: sure | 13:46 |
| theadmin | Maximo: hm. sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade | 13:46 |
| Maximo | admin: wanted to ugrade latest version. | 13:46 |
| theadmin | Maximo: What is your current version? | 13:46 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: I've found smartmontools on Synaptic | 13:46 |
| marienz | yeah, those :) | 13:46 |
| Maximo | 8:10LTS | 13:46 |
| barberan | how do I make gvim to put TABs after { symbol, when I am wring C code ? | 13:46 |
| theadmin | Maximo: 8.04 or 8.10? | 13:46 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: Which contain smartctl | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: http://pastebin.com/s3kRnnyu | 13:46 |
| theadmin | Maximo: 8.10 is not LTS, it's EOL as well. | 13:47 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: yes | 13:47 |
| Maximo | the last LTS | 13:47 |
| theadmin | Maximo: The last is 10.04 | 13:47 |
| Maximo | before that on | 13:47 |
| Maximo | before that one | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Maximo: hardy 8.04 | 13:47 |
| Maximo | correct | 13:47 |
| zvacet | Maximo: do you use desktop or server | 13:47 |
| theadmin | Maximo: I see, so 8.04 "Hardy Heron", me guesses. Hm. I'm unsure, never did LTS => LTS updates | 13:48 |
| Maximo | desktop | 13:48 |
| SandGorgon | ActionParsnip, thanks | 13:48 |
| marienz | Maximo: I'm pretty sure the release notes cover upgrading. | 13:48 |
| ChogyDan | Maximo: upgrades for 8.04 won't be enabled till later this month | 13:48 |
| Oer | Maximo .. no upgrade is there ? check again :-) | 13:48 |
| Maximo | oh | 13:48 |
| Maximo | ok | 13:48 |
| zvacet | Maximo: under synaptic you canchoose to upgrade from LTS>LTS I'm not at Ubuntu right now so search for your self | 13:49 |
| Maximo | admin: should be a warning automatically once is out | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: not sure what it does but i found it on the ubuntugeek site, makes a mild difference. If you use a local dnsmasq service you can get faster web too (keeps name resolves local rather than going out to the web for every name resolution) | 13:49 |
| Maximo | ok | 13:49 |
| marienz | Maximo: I'm pretty sure there is, but I don't have a hardy system around to check. | 13:49 |
| ActionParsnip | !upgrade | Maximo | 13:49 |
| ubottu | Maximo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 13:49 |
| theadmin | Maximo: It IS out, maybe updates are not ready. | 13:49 |
| Maximo | zvvacet | 13:49 |
| Maximo | okay | 13:49 |
| ChogyDan | Maximo: you can add a -c to the command to force the upgrade | 13:49 |
| geekphreak | Maximo: would suggest clean install imo | 13:50 |
| Maximo | ChogyDan: I am a newbie can you write the command for me please -----> | 13:50 |
| Maximo | thanks | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | SandGorgon: makes name resolution take 0ms rather than 50ms | 13:50 |
| Maximo | to force it | 13:50 |
| Maximo | upgrade | 13:50 |
| ChogyDan | Maximo: upgrade-manager -c | 13:50 |
| ActionParsnip | ChogyDan: will need sudo too ;) | 13:50 |
| theadmin | ChogyDan: That'd be update-manager | 13:50 |

| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Wrong. Update-manager uses some gksu-ish authenication layer when you click on check/install buttons | 13:51 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: I am afraid these tools will not apply to me as the drive is an external USB (enclosure SATA) | 13:51 |
| SandGorgon | ActionParsnip, do u have stuff in ur default/grub as well? I dont see it on the paste | 13:51 |
| ChogyDan | aye, I'm terrible !! Maximo: gksu update-manager -c | 13:51 |
| Maximo | geekphreak: will need to save on it the disk | 13:51 |

| EgYPaRaDoX | I installed lucid, then I installed kubuntu-desktop, I logged out, changed the session and logged in as a KDE session, and came back to GNOME, I updated lucid then I found my pointer is ox-white although I am logged in as a GNOME session | 14:19 |
| Gal | EgYPaRaDoX: On gnome you have to right clic on you desktop, chose the last option (change background i guess), then Theme and pointer | 14:21 |
| allquixotic | EgYPaRaDoX: confirmed, same here... it's just the Oxygen cursor from the KDE theme, probably a leftover from having installed/run KDE. | 14:21 |
| Gal | That would be the way to fix it, but why did it do that on the first place : no idea | 14:21 |

| arand | EgYPaRaDoX: I've seen that as well, I didn't find any solution though I'm afraid. | 14:23 |
| theadmin | EgYPaRaDoX: You can. Most probably it's just the GNOME, so... "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop" | 14:23 |
| noobdude | ~60 kbps when it should normally be at 420 kbps | 14:23 |
| Gal | EgYPaRaDoX: You can report it, but you will have to wait a bit, it's not a critical one | 14:23 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: Sorry to bother again. I believe that the problem with the boot latency I am having could also be related to the type of my motherboard. I have just found out that 10.04 does not auto-mount my DVD-RWs which are both PATA (IDE) on the same bus | 14:24 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: where did you say the latency was again? can you see it in dmesg? | 14:24 |
| allquixotic | theadmin: depends on what you're trying to connect *to* -- if you're going to localhost, it'll usually not even use your NIC, so it'll be lightning fast... if you're going to a LAN host, it'll probably max out your router (or your NIC / wifi card)... if you're going over the internet, it's moderated by your upstream/downstream on the public internet | 14:25 |
| marienz | Stormcr0w: I haven't really been following along, just wanted to mention smartctl when drive checking came up | 14:25 |
| allquixotic | theadmin: in the latter case, you can use sites like speedtest.net, as long as you have flash in your browser | 14:25 |
| EgYPaRaDoX | Gal: I belive its not critical , yet annoying | 14:25 |
| EgYPaRaDoX | believe* | 14:25 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: Not really. It comes before that. However, in dmesg you can see a couple of cannot probe smb1 errors | 14:25 |
| theadmin | allquixotic: Well, i know that. Console browsers don't really usually have flash so I have to use Firefox and the likes | 14:25 |
| Stormcr0w | marienz: Sorry. I was wondering, is there a way to locate the DVD-RW's UUIDs? | 14:25 |

| allquixotic | theadmin: well with speed testing, it's entirely dependent upon which host you're trying to contact -- the procedure for speed testing is identical to that of any other operating system. Find a host that has the desired attributes (geographical distance, LAN or Internet, sufficient upstream/downstream) and transfer a few random files | 14:27 |

| mrwizeguy1983 | this seems kinda dumb, but my touchpad stopped working right when i upgraded to 10.04, anybody know what might have caused that? | 14:31 |
| allquixotic | patdk-wk: possibly, but a real world test is more revealing IMO... and since I have several PCs sitting around it's not an issue for me. The more interesting thing isn't raw IP speed, but transfer rate in KB or MB/s for things like Samba, FTP | 14:31 |

| theadmin | greezmunkey: Yeah, I just need to close most other apps such as transmission and pidgin as a workaround | 14:38 |

| onetinsoldier | ianwizard: hello. you have an old kernel installed you can boot with? you sure you'll be ok deleting the old one before reinstalling it? you can do that, or you might be a able to force a reinstall over the top if itself | 14:56 |
| greezmunkey | noobdude: ok, now do this: iwconfig - you should see your wireless interface, like ra0, wlan0, or the like. Once you have that, repeat the iwlist like this: iwlist {interface} scanning. Paste the result. | 14:56 |
| ubuntuaddicted | kasun tried to create a new user is there the same issue?have you compized activated=? | 14:56 |

| ubuntuaddicted | kasun try another user | 14:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | maybe sthg messed up with the profile.. | 14:59 |

| greezmunkey | noobdude: is that the entire thing, just one access point? | 15:00 |
| noobdude | yep | 15:00 |
| ianwizard | reinstalling should suffice, if not I'll know soon enough. do I only need the kernel, headers, and modules? | 15:00 |
| vince | airtonix, well, I've noticed that empathy lacks so many options...especially for msn and the way it handles the contact list | 15:00 |
| kasun | ubuntuaddicted, touchpad is not working too. im using a usb mouse and it works fine | 15:00 |
| ianwizard | thx all | 15:00 |

| vince | airtonix, for instance, you can't block anyone in your contact list with empathy | 15:01 |
| noobdude | greezmunkey: its just a private wlan network, for my pc, psp and laptop | 15:01 |
| airtonix | vince, well instead of complaing about it you have two options : 1) help program plugins/features for empathy 2) use pidgin instead. | 15:01 |

| onetinsoldier | ianwizard: to see what all you'll need, do the following command --> dpkg -l *'2.6.32-21*' | grep '^ii' | 15:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | sry | 15:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | capshack :D | 15:02 |
| kasun | ubuntuaddicted, compiz is not activated | 15:02 |
| vince | airtonix, I'm not complaining, I switched back to pidgin anyway. I'm just saying that IMO, Empathy is not mature enough to fully replace pidgin and consequently that is a shame :) | 15:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | ok kasun so your touchpad is not working? | 15:02 |
| ianwizard | onetinsoldier: thanks :D | 15:02 |
| onetinsoldier | ianwizard: opps.. i messed up that command.. sorry | 15:02 |

| airtonix | illuminatus, evolution is the one that puts appointments in the date/time applet on gnome panel | 15:07 |
| illuminatus | ah ok | 15:08 |
| CloudLevi | airtonix: Evolution works with the message applet (Indicator-Applet) but only when the window is up...which means closing it is not an option. I want to be able to close it and still get alerts. | 15:08 |

| CGI-Inc0 | geekphreak: not by my own. As i wrote before, the configuration is the original one from the package. | 15:42 |

| gswain | so i tried to install lts server with software raid 10 last night and it installed and everything but when i booted up it said it couldnt find the volumegroup on my raid 10 im guessing because the install process didnt finish syncing the array? any ideas? | 15:46 |
| onetinsoldier | valentin_: ok, roger. good luck | 15:47 |
| peleg | I have this very silly problem. Since the upgrade to 10.04, in console (but only in console!), ctrl-a becomes the hebrew ש, ctrl-d the hebrew ג and so on. That makes it impossible to use screen, for example. | 15:48 |
| gswain | im guessing no one here has any experience with LVM and software raid 10 then? | 15:48 |
| peleg | If I remove the israeli layout, the problem disappears. When I add it, it comes back. | 15:48 |

| ActionParsnip | CloudLevi: then run: sudo apt-gt update; sudo apt-get install thunderbird-3.0 | 16:09 |
| CloudLevi | ActionParsnip: o_O.... uhm.... | 16:09 |
| Claw_ | stoneman is it installed ? (sudo apt-get xxx) | 16:09 |

| ActionParsnip | CloudLevi: can you try and be constructive rather than pointless emoticon stuff | 16:09 |
| _pg__ | wtf-can grub be made ease in a future release? I ALWAYS have problems with it. it is a huge hurdle to people that arent already linux geniuses | 16:09 |
| Claw_ | abhijain are you using windows? | 16:09 |

| abhijain | Claw_: no at this time i m on wubi | 16:10 |

| jabirali | Jiong: Like I said, check out fbterm at http://code.google.com/p/fbterm/. It seems like console fonts are limited to maximum 512 characters, which won't be enough to cover chinese/japanese; but fbterm is a terminal emulator that _runs in the tty_, and lets you use the same fonts you use in X in the tty. I think this is what you are looking for. | 16:13 |

| maco | stodorovic: i use kde | 16:22 |
| jabirali | nikitis: Yup, upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 means you upgraded your kernel, so you would have to reinstall the nvidia driver afterwards. | 16:22 |
| smiley979879 | I would hop someone here knows about unix...ha | 16:22 |

| maco | stodorovic: so /etc/network/interfaces configured with wpa_supplicant syntax doesnt work? | 16:24 |
| stodorovic | maco: and the kernel version - i wonder if it's a regression in the driver. Funny think is my dad had problems with this and I could never fix it - so had to install Slackware for him isntead of Kubuntu | 16:24 |
| nikitis | jabirali, no output, just went to next prompt | 16:24 |
| coll | hello. i was doing an update and it was interrupted.. the machine was shutdown by mistake. now it wont boot. is there a way to recover the OS? maybe reinstalling the OS without formatting the filesystem? | 16:24 |

| jabirali | nikitis: That's kind of weird. It means that the nvidia driver is now loaded without problems... | 16:24 |

| nikitis | jabirali, yes, this is why i'm here | 16:25 |
| stodorovic | maco: this laptop is supposed to be "roaming" so it should let the user select which SSID to connect to and let them provide authentication credentials. not hardwired by editing the config file manually | 16:25 |
| nikitis | because i'm not a noob, and I need real help ;) | 16:25 |

| andeeeuk | did anyone get the ati drivers working with ubuntu 10.04? | 16:26 |
| maco | stodorovic: to rule out network manager problems | 16:26 |
| coll | ActionParsnip, following that, my data will remain intact? | 16:26 |
| jabirali | nikitis: I see :P. What exactly is the problem now then? Xorg uses the wrong driver, or it tries to use nvidia but fails? | 16:26 |
| stodorovic | maco: that paste is a bunch of porn links.... :/ | 16:26 |
| itsme2010 | erUSUL: Right click on my username and click on info. You will get my IP address. | 16:26 |

| stodorovic | maco: :) thanks | 16:27 |
| jabirali | nikitis: It tries to autodetect your hardware with HAL, although it should be possible to force it to use an xorg.conf instead. I did that on my laptop, since my good ol' xorg.conf worked fine :P | 16:27 |

| ubottu | melter: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyyu: what speed is the link? | 16:28 |
| bobbyyu | I don't know. 10/100 | 16:28 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:28 |
| stodorovic | maco: hmm interesting. Your kernel is slightly older than mine. | 16:28 |
| nikitis | jabirali, how would i go about telling it to use xorg.conf? | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | bobbyyu: and is it consistantly 10/100 or does the speed cange in places? | 16:28 |
| DarkStar1 | Is ext4 fully supported in Lucid or should I stick to 3 | 16:28 |
| maverick340 | can i access wired shares using wireless ? | 16:28 |
| nikitis | jabirali, i prefer it anyways as I can manually customize nvidia features | 16:28 |
| maco | stodorovic: yeah i dont use that computer much so havent installed updates | 16:28 |
| Wiggly | ActionParsnip: MD% is 100% | 16:28 |
| bobbyyu | I think it ranges | 16:28 |
| scratchme | bobbyyu: 911MB would normally go 1-1.2MB/sec for 10Mbit, 10-12MB/sec for 100Mbit, and 30-125MB/sec for 1Gbit. | 16:28 |
| theadmin | DarkStar1: It's fully supported ever since Karmic :/ | 16:28 |
| erUSUL | itsme2010: then you will have to ask in the other's network support channels. ip visibility is inherent to irc nothing a client (pidgin) can do | 16:28 |
| Wiggly | MD5* | 16:28 |
| melter | DarkStar1: stick with ext3 if you can | 16:29 |

| stodorovic | maco: your is 2.6.31-16-generic and mine's 2.6.31-21-generic i wonder if that makes the difference. But I think those would be ubuntu patches for the kernel... | 16:29 |
| DarkStar1 | melter: why? | 16:29 |
| coll | ActionParsnip, will that format the filesystem and reinstall the entire OS? | 16:29 |
| rabidweezle | (if you wanna meet the man behind ubuntu, goto #ubuntu-classroom, he's answering questions) | 16:29 |

| DarkStar1 | Whoopsies!! | 16:38 |

| _pg__ | theadmin: no one has!!! lol | 16:57 |
| geekphreak | Beelsebob: just to be on the safe side backup /var/lib/mysql | 16:58 |
| Flamekebab | I originally installed the OS onto the card from a VM, then put in the machine. It worked fine and then suddenly stopped booting | 16:58 |
| JyZyXEL | why don't we have a damn on-screen keyboard | 16:58 |
| DarkStar1 | Flamekebab: what issues? | 16:58 |
| theadmin | _pg__: Basically, your Linux hard drive's bootsector... | 16:58 |
| JyZyXEL | ud think there was something as basic as that | 16:58 |
| JyZyXEL | but no | 16:58 |
| _pg__ | theadmin: how can i list my partitions so i can make a best guess where to put it | 16:58 |

I resolved this problem by following a fix that I saw online, and the fix worked and managed to solve my problem.

After performing the fix I turned the PC off and went to b | 17:11 |

| Stormcr0w | SealedWithAKiss: Well, your applications can be re-downloaded from Synaptic and I am sure you can google the location of themes on the drive so you can save those. But a new install is always time-consuming. You will have to gauge between how much time it will take you to fix your current one (including looking for answers) and how much time it will take to re-install and re-configure | 17:27 |
| noobert | that pretty much sux | 17:27 |
| lastelement0 | hey all, how can i disable tapping the corner of my touchpad from pasting? | 17:27 |

| wulfy | SealedWithAKiss, only way around that is take steps like prevent booting from cd securing pc case and hard drive encryption | 17:29 |
| SealedWithAKiss | wulfy, doesn't that strike you as worrying? | 17:29 |
| z3r0-c001 | how long should the full upgrade take | 17:29 |
| VCoolio | noobert: compile e17 from svn, will take a while; or try to pimp openbox with xcompmgr | 17:29 |
| wulfy | SealedWithAKiss, indeed but thats the nature of the beasr | 17:29 |
| wulfy | beast^ | 17:29 |
| Stormcr0w | SealedWithAKiss: Not particularly. We are talking about access to a physical device. | 17:29 |
| Slart | SealedWithAKiss: when someone has physical access to your computer you'll need some very crafty security measures to keep them out | 17:29 |
| DarkStar1 | SealedWithAKiss: Ok since I don't know how much damage could have been done with the fix you implemented I would recommend you re-install the fglrx packages then try re-installing the latest drivers for your GPU | 17:30 |

| littlepenguin | slart some kind of big electronic magnet and a indiana jones like trap to activate ;d | 17:30 |
| z3r0-c001 | i should need to reboot afterward right | 17:30 |
| wulfy | littlepenguin, lasers ftw! | 17:30 |
| andeeeuk | no support forum, think thats what it should be called. Fundamental errors with graphics cards in ubuntu | 17:30 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Stormcr0w, I understand. It's a unneccesary security risk anyway. Authentication should be implemented, so that mounting can't be peformed without a password. | 17:30 |
| Bert- | Hi here | 17:30 |

| noobert | so i was thinkin xubuntu? how would that run on my peice of shyt pc | 17:31 |
| Bert- | Does anyone know if there are some issues with intel graphics driver in Lucid ? | 17:31 |
| andeeeuk | ........... | 17:31 |
| Slart | noobert: slightly better than ubuntu does | 17:31 |
| noobert | just slightly | 17:32 |
| noobert | damn | 17:32 |
| Bert- | Specially with 3D | 17:32 |
| Slart | Bert-: It works on my laptop.. I think it has an intel.. g4500 HD or something like that | 17:32 |
| Stormcr0w | SealedWithAKiss: To be honest with you, if someone has physical access to your machine, even if your partitions are password protected/encrypted or whatever, there are always ways to get hold of the data. | 17:32 |
| Slart | Bert-: but there are lots of intel graphics cards out there.. it's quite possible that one model works and one doesn't | 17:32 |
| littlepenguin | storm liek freezing the dimm to get the data like encryption key :d | 17:32 |
| Pici | SeySayux: It looks like it was dropped from debian, and therefore dropped from Ubuntu as well. See http://bugs.debian.org/566579 for more information. | 17:32 |
| Slart | noobert: the difference isn't that big.. no | 17:33 |
| noobert | thats what i thought, thats why i was asking | 17:33 |
| noobert | so what do u think would be best | 17:33 |

| Stormcr0w | SealedWithAKiss: I think you need to back up /etc/networking/interfaces | 18:24 |
| simar | CogitoErgoSam, AbuMaia Actually i want to run the application from the console by giving the path like i do in windows eg c:\windows\command.exe so how will I do this in linux for the application in home/crclient/crclient when my terminal opens in my home directory simar@simar-laptop:~ | 18:24 |
| haavaros | Dr_Willis: Yes, I've googled my eyes out. I just want to see a working fstab entry | 18:24 |
| Izinucs | haavaros: check this out http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/49757 | 18:24 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Stormcr0w, that's a text file right? | 18:24 |
| Stormcr0w | DarkStar1: When you access Software sources, are you asked for admin pass? | 18:24 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Stormcr0w, then I replace my old one with the one on my new installation? | 18:24 |
| Stormcr0w | SealedWithAKiss: I would assume so | 18:24 |
| mickster04 | _pg__: i guess not | 18:24 |
| Stormcr0w | SealedWithAKiss: For more information, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 18:24 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: You can use ~ to create a path that always starts in the home directory | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | haavaros: you could always put it in rc.local to start it at boot time | 18:25 |
| Izinucs | haavaros: it looks to be an older post but might be functional.. fusefs is already in ubuntu I believe. | 18:25 |
| AbuMaia | simar: same way, just give the path to the file: ~/crclient/crclient | 18:25 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: here would be the path for your app: ~/crclient/crclient | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | haavaros: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/04/27/39-mounting-a-fuse-filesystem-form-etcfstab | 18:25 |
| teh_AJ | can anyone help me with my hard drive issue? | 18:25 |
| AbuMaia | simar: or the long way: /home/simar/crclient/crclient | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | sshfs#my-remote-user@my-remote-host:/home/my-remote-user /my-local-filesystem/remotefs fuse user,noauto 0 0 | 18:26 |
| Izinucs | haavaros: you can also put it in ~/bash_aliases as described in ~/.bash_rc | 18:26 |
| AbuMaia | simar: or whatever your computer account name is | 18:26 |
| haavaros | Dr_Willis: I think that's what I have to do .... it's so weird, I can mount it from terminal with sshfs command, but when I add it to fstab, I don't get access the files, even if I chowned and chmodded as if my life depended on it | 18:26 |
| Dr_Willis | haavaros: perhaps the user option is needed. | 18:26 |
| xyz | i like ubuntu 10.04 | 18:27 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: Another option if you want it accessible all over is to add a symbolic link to your app to /usr/bin | 18:27 |

| simar | CogitoErgoSam, AbuMaia how to add the symbolic link ..by the way calling it ~crclient/crclient gives error './crclient: You can run the executable with name `crclient' only. | 18:28 |
| mickster04 | xyz: have you enabled animations in compixconfig? | 18:28 |

| xyz | every animation works except menu animation | 18:28 |
| markl_ | and even worse, "scanner" is a tough word to search for on google | 18:29 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: You are missing a slash in "~crclient/crclient" | 18:29 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: It should be "~/crclient/crclient" | 18:29 |
| mickster04 | xyz: have you looked at the animation settings in compiz config | 18:29 |
| mickster04 | ? | 18:29 |
| DarkStar1 | It is a fresh install. In fact the only thing I've installed on the system thus far in this IRc client | 18:29 |

| simar | CogitoErgoSam, I 'm sorry for typing error actually i run ~/crclient/crclient and got that error | 18:30 |
| mickster04 | xyz: yeah underneath that you have to select what counts as random, i think by default there is nothing selected | 18:30 |
| Dr_Willis | haavaros: ive had VERY bad issues with 10,04 and Plymouth when it cant get all mounts mounted at boot time. doing it from rc.local may be a MUCH better idea | 18:30 |
| DarkStar1 | Stormcr0w: Actually, I tell a lie. I didn't get asked for the admin password | 18:30 |

| mickster04 | xyz: hummm. well im out then | 18:30 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AbuMaia: Yeah I think that should do it | 18:30 |
| mickster04 | datacrusher: grub -v | 18:30 |
| datacrusher | or 10.04 is grub2 for sure? | 18:30 |
| thebruce | hey guys, i was wondering if there was a way to display the results from "df" in MB and not KB | 18:30 |
| mickster04 | datacrusher: it should be 1.97 methinks | 18:31 |
| enteL | i put lts on a usb stick but is booting moblin on my netbook...? | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | thebruce: grub2 by default yes. | 18:31 |
| Stormcr0w | DarkStar1: That might explain it. So the question is why you didn't. I would review what your user is allowed to do under users and groupd. | 18:31 |
| dansilva | folks, good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever you may be. I have a question not related to OCDC, but related to Ubuntu: whenever I plug in my headfone via the headphone jack on my computer, the speaker does not get muted. I keep on listening to the sound via the speakers instead of the headphones. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 32bit. Has anyone seen this before? | 18:31 |
| dansilva | <dansilva> hardware is working fine, no issues when tested in Windows | 18:31 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: abumaia's command should make the link for you: "ln -s /home/username/crclient/crclient /usr/bin/crclient" | 18:31 |
| thebruce | Dr_Willis, grub2? | 18:31 |
| guntbert | thebruce: df -h | 18:31 |

| Dr_Willis | Stormcr0w: check dmesg output for some clues perhaps | 18:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: Once you have created the symbolic link correctly you'd just use "crclient" from anywhere | 18:36 |

| haavaros | Dr_Willis: Something is terribly wrong here ... I try mounting the remote folder with 'sudo mount -a', and it appears on my desktop. I can't access it, "the file type is unknown". Then, if I 'sudo umount -a' an error popus says it disagrees with fstab | 18:39 |
| Rave1 | Hi I thought I would try 10.04 NBR on my EEEPC 701 installed to an external SD card and it would not boot nor would any other new realeases of netbook variants ..Is this a Grub 2 issue or just my bad luck..This netbook has had ubuntu 8.10 installed and working fine for well over a year.So I really suspect Grub 2 has issues with booting from USB devices | 18:39 |
| cafaro | When I want to install Ubuntu 10.04, I get the following error: "BUG: soft lockup - CPU #0 stuck for 61s", anyone can help me with this? | 18:39 |
| hololight | dfase_: to unpack you would run 'tar -xvf filename.tar.gz' | 18:40 |
| hololight | dfase_: there should be a readme file in there that tells you what you need to do | 18:40 |
| BrightFrank | I think I have the same problem as Rave1 | 18:40 |
| dfase25_ | and what do I do when I get the files unpacked? | 18:40 |
| simar | AbuMaia, CogitoErgoSam Well thanks friends So it means that when ever we have to run binaries in ubuntu we have to enter that particular directory and then use ./ binaryname ... thats the only way right (if it is not a usr/bin binary) and also it cannot be called directly from the parent directory by using something like ./crclient/crclient sort .. | 18:40 |
| oly562 | cancelerx: i am also using a wireless, yet i still select cable connected under advanced at the bottom. its virtual so, think of it as an eth connection as that is only way VB works at present | 18:40 |

| mickster04 | dfase25_: see what hololight wrote last | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Chetic: lack of cpu power to decode it fast enoguh is one reason | 18:41 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all | 18:41 |
| Stormcr0w | Dr_Willis: Point is, shouldn't I be able to mount them, even if there are no media in the devices? | 18:41 |
| Chetic | Dr_Willis: besides that.. my cpu is more than enough, I'm sure | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Stormcr0w: you cant mount a cd drive if tehres no disk in the drive. | 18:41 |
| CogitoErgoSam | simar: Any time you prefix something with ./ that path starts in the current directory. ../ will start in the parent directory | 18:42 |
| Rave1 | BrightFrank, no not same problem I had it installed to an SD card | 18:42 |

| haavaros | gmatt: Yeah, lucid feels like alpha-quality. Reinstall jaunty or karmic, or try e.g. Mint 8 | 18:43 |
| mickster04 | dfase25_: there should be three commands, you go into the unpacked folder (created when u unzipped the tar file) then run the commands | 18:43 |
| simar | CogitoErgoSam, ok thanks | 18:43 |
| Stormcr0w | Dr_Willis: Fair enough. But what makes Ubuntu so "sensitive" to their input that they cannot be mounted, while they work fine under other OSs? | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | dfase25_: give the channel the url to what it is you are trying to compile/work with. perhaps someone can work throught it with your | 18:43 |

Add to it the fact that it used to work just prior to my installing 10.04 a week ago, I feel there is something wrong with the software and not with the hardware. | 18:46 |

| e01 | ohhh... it will be more easy to call my gf to go my room and just press the power button | 19:14 |
| e01 | :( | 19:14 |
| hmw | anders_: i dont see a way to make a drive mount, when a file in the fs is being accessed. you could make a scritp, that mounts the drive, before opening the file | 19:14 |
| llutz | e01: if your ethernet-adaptor isn't set in "listening" mode, it won't react on magic-packets. check it with ethtool | 19:14 |
| Arimil | fluxdust: some of them do have negative effects on your computer though even though they don't technically run correctly sometimes they max out your processor etc. | 19:15 |
| domjohnson | quite often on boot, I get an error with my graphics, which brings up the dialogue for running Ubuntu in low-graphics mode. | 19:15 |
| Odd-rationale | How can I make grep scan through a list of files for a srting? | 19:15 |
| minimec | llutz: THX Just learned something. | 19:15 |
| domjohnson | Does anyone know how to fix this? | 19:15 |
| hmw | Odd-rationale: use "for" | 19:15 |
| Odd-rationale | hmw: good idea! | 19:15 |

| Patrinstar | can anyone help me with docky? i cant figure out how to get rid of the black background???? and how to get it to resize the windows so its not overlapping | 19:24 |
| minimec | llutz: That is a good thing an you start to inspire me... I am on the wakeonlan tools now... ;) | 19:24 |
| rocket16 | anders_: Yes, I know. So, I gave that Wikipedia link. It can give you an introduction, and you can download it from Ubuntu repository. | 19:24 |
| Dracari | was it a smart move to install Beta 2 and run "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 19:24 |
| hmw | Guest88319: intersting question. I don't know how to do that with usual means. Perhaps it is something with sed or awk. I would write a PHP script in this case ;-) | 19:25 |
| guntbert | squiddy: if you are certain that it provides the same functionality you *can* do it with dpkg (it has an option --force) -- but I only know from hearsay - never did it myself -- and it is not supported because that might break your system | 19:25 |
| Guim | hi. does MySQL install 'php5-mysql', or PHP? | 19:25 |
| Guim | :P | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Dracari: sure, you will get the latest install then | 19:25 |
| Finity | llutz, hmmm, not sure, exactly, where the command is found o.O | 19:25 |
| mlbbarnes | Guim: you have to install it :p | 19:25 |
| Dracari | i guess atm then thats the way around the Nvidia bug | 19:25 |

| dominicdinada | !lamp | guim | 19:26 |
| ubottu | guim: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Dracari: what nvidia bug? | 19:26 |
| Dracari | i asked ealier about Why it kept going out of my monitors range | 19:26 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Where about in Linux is the configuration information (IP addresses) for my VPN connections stored? | 19:26 |
| Guest88319 | hmw: it started as a file with random line breaks and extra junk at the top. so i've already ran a few pre-processing to it with a bash script i'm writting. grep removes the top lines, and then tr -d "\n" removes the lines | 19:26 |

| Dracari | i even tested my friends 1month old LCD monitor | 19:26 |
| hmw | bp0: uhm =:-| never noticed that. i like it due to mouse support and framebuffer | 19:26 |
| Finity | llutz, oh, it looks like it's a function defined in a shell script | 19:26 |
| Guim | How can I reset mysql to when I got mysql? | 19:26 |
| Dracari | it went out of its range too | 19:26 |
| llutz | minimec: there is a howto for dd-wrt | 19:26 |
| GeertJohan | Hey, I have a wierd problem, I've installed the linux kernel, ubuntu-standard with kubuntu-desktop package manually because the kubuntu installers do no work with my raid. however, the problem now is that I cant install sun-java6-jre trough apt-get,, it says the package is not there. though I have all ubuntu repositories enabled (main, universe, multiverse and restricted on lucid, lucid-security, lucid-updates and lucid-backports)... any | 19:26 |

| mguy | linusoleander: Play it? You can only download them! | 19:40 |
| Cheech | ok, thanks I have it set to blank screen. So that will not crash the system if I suspend or hibernate?? | 19:40 |
| dominicdinada | a torrent is a text file used by torrent clients | 19:40 |
| mguy | Cheech: Suspend/hibernate is another bag of worms | 19:40 |
| linusoleander | Yes, i know that its possible to download a movie using a torrentfile | 19:40 |
| dominicdinada | !torrent | linusoleander | 19:40 |
| ubottu | linusoleander: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 19:40 |

| dominicdinada | but you dont play the torrent | 19:40 |
| Cheech | just wondering.... thanks | 19:40 |
| mguy | linusoleander, after the torrent is complete you will have a file downloaded that is a regular video/audio file | 19:41 |
| linusoleander | dominicdinada: Why not, ? | 19:41 |
| plazia | alarm, I don't think you even need to use apt. You can just go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 19:41 |
| dominicdinada | ktorrent or transmission parses the text in the torrent it contains people sharing and the md5's | 19:41 |

| MrVestek | I have no idea how do I check from command line? | 19:43 |
| linusoleander | dominicdinada: I know exactly how the torrent protocoll works, I've been using the torrent techuniq for 6 years | 19:43 |
| mguy | Tom22: Start out by telling us what error you are getting upon boot | 19:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | linusoleander: you'd need to force your torrent client to download sequentially, and then there might be an option to play the file in different stages of download, but i have no idea how to force the client to do that, in any case thats a bad idea and it will increase the download time | 19:43 |

| brontosaurusrex | linusoleander: me neither, but i suspect there are some that can be 'told' | 19:44 |
| MrVestek | can anybody please help? | 19:44 |
| linusoleander | dominicdinada: Yes, the torrentfile can speak to the tracker, to know where to download the missing parts of the file, why not just play them on the fly | 19:44 |
| dominicdinada | linusoleander: this is a general question that torrents are so fast etc because of the swarm system and if you force the order of things being downloaded you can infact slow the entire download | 19:44 |
| mguy | There are P2P methods of streaming data but torrent isn't one of them | 19:44 |
| moes | Hardrive with Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Lenny installed How do I find out which /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb6 is Ubuntu Hardy | 19:45 |

| minimec | MrVestek: Ok. I did not follow the discussion, but I wonder why you cannot get a GUI with an intel card. | 19:45 |
| alarm | looks that there is no official package for nvidia drivers on 10.04 | 19:45 |
| MrVestek | I can get a GUI | 19:45 |
| linusoleander | But right now, there is no why to stream a torrentfile on the fly without downloading the hole thing? | 19:45 |
| MrVestek | but it's running in 'low graphics' mode | 19:45 |
| mguy | moes: There should be an /etc/debian file on the Lenny install | 19:45 |
| Tom22 | ActionParsnip, I have a 2nd ubuntu install, can I just use that one to sudo apt-get -f install ? | 19:45 |
| apn | gmatt: I'm sorry. (just joking) | 19:45 |
| shishire | I have an unusual keyboard design. Where can I find out which keymap I should set? I can try each and every single one, but that's tedious. | 19:46 |
| mguy | linusoleander: no | 19:46 |
| MrVestek | it mentions some problem with agpgpart and drm or something like that | 19:46 |
| gmatt | apn: ubuntu no longer really supports eve online with wine...or however you want to say it. can't get it running at all | 19:46 |
| linusoleander | Then I'll write my own app | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Tom22: as long as you can chroot to the bad one, sure | 19:46 |
| dominicdinada | as for getting a .torrent for the same file with new trackers for the same file are more rare since .torrents are so portable so many sights mirror the torrents but yes if u have the updated torrent for the same file it will ask to update trackers\ | 19:46 |
| maco | shishire: unusual how? like your delete and insert and home keys are in a funny place? or like your letters are in a different order? | 19:46 |
| askhader | Is it possible to downgrade my version of radeon-drivers using aptitude? | 19:46 |
| minimec | MrVestek: so you could try to unable the Kernel Mode Settings (kms) for a try... | 19:46 |
| hmw | shishire: the installer of Lucid Lynx has a nice feature: "guess keymap" - you could boot the live cd 10.04 | 19:46 |
| dominicdinada | linusoleander: as for getting a .torrent for the same file with new trackers for the same file are more rare since .torrents are so portable so many sights mirror the torrents but yes if u have the updated torrent for the same file it will ask to update trackers\ | 19:46 |

| apn | gmatt: understandable. I like opensuse myself :-) | 19:47 |
| greedo | i don't know how to fix this | 19:47 |
| minimec | MrVestek: ... or force the card in PCI mode. I had to do that with an ATI card. Just a moment... | 19:47 |
| diddy | hi | 19:48 |
| apn | greedo: remove the file, and re-log-in. | 19:48 |
| Cheech | linusoleander: i dont think that the best way to go because torrents download random pieces at a time | 19:48 |
| shishire | er, forgot to mention, on Karmic here. Unusual in that it's a laptop keyboard with a numpad, but everything's been squished together. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but some things, like the right alt key don't do anything | 19:48 |
| maco | gmatt: wine regression? | 19:48 |
| gmatt | i just read a post on the forum that a guy got it going easily, so i am all for it | 19:48 |
| gmatt | maco: it keeps telling me i have a write fault or something similar | 19:48 |
| maco | shishire: right alt is probably being altgr | 19:48 |
| linusoleander | Cheech: But it is possible to download everything in the corrent order | 19:48 |
| MrVestek | it's an integrated graphics card on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop if that helps | 19:48 |
| diddy | How can I uninstall the Ubuntu WLAN manager in Ubuntu 10.04 so that I can reinstall it again? | 19:48 |
| shishire | maco: how can I change that | 19:48 |
| maco | shishire: the layout options should let you configure whether right alt acts as a third level chooser (so you can type accents) | 19:49 |
| MrVestek | diddy: apt-get remove network-manager | 19:49 |
| Cheech | right, but like the other guy said it will slow the overall torrent speed | 19:49 |
| shishire | maco, altgr = 3rd level? | 19:49 |
| maco | shishire: yeah | 19:49 |
| Tom22 | ActionParsnip, this is going to seem stupid, I am kinda new to ubuntu commanding. How do I "chroot" to the install files?. BTW, the broken install is on sda1 | 19:49 |
| adnyxo | hello, i am in need of some help with my dual monitors. Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit uses the same picture twice, once on each monitor. I would like it to just use one picture that spans both monitors | 19:49 |
| diddy | MrVestek, but then how can I reinstall it after it is gone if I can not connect to the network? | 19:49 |
| dominicdinada | linusoleander: app to do what? torrents are so fast because of how they transfer files.... you can force certain files priorities but that may slow the download because of the way it downloads you can write an app but 1 that wont change how the hundreds of other torrent clients work and 2 you would have to conform to the way they work | 19:49 |
| Cheech | and that is going to make it a nightmare to watch | 19:49 |
| apn | diddy: sure. | 19:49 |

| altavatar | I'd like to run 3 monitors w/ 2 vid cards. 2 monitors w/ 1 desktop, and 1 independant desktop (i have a separate bluetooth keyb & mouse). OR the 3rd monitor as a clone of the 1st (but at a dif resolution). Which of these sounds most doable? (2 ati graphics cards btw) | 20:00 |
| apn | MacB: in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | hedin: some of it isn't, just paste the text and next boot you should be ok. I hope you used ext2 for the SSD, it reduces writes as ext3 and ext4 use a journal | 20:00 |
| hedin | ActionParsnip, do i need to reload some services or even reboot for it to take effect? | 20:00 |
| shaul | i update my netbook bios and since then ubuntu doesnt reconize my soundcard, what to do? | 20:01 |

| ActionParsnip | hedin: ext4 writes quite a lot to the journal, using ext2 makes it write a LOT less so will prolong the SSDs life | 20:02 |
| apn | dick-richardson: yes, it does. | 20:02 |

| kerebrus | Bah there is so much for me to break on 10.04 | 21:02 |
| esarandon | if Igo to sound preferences and then out. I have 2 options: analog speakes or analog output | 21:02 |

| esarandon | guntbert: my problem is with my speakers. They won't disable when I am pluging my headphones | 21:03 |
| flodin | well, if anybody is wondering why update-alternatives --config default.plymouth didn't work, it's because it doesn't update the initrd | 21:03 |
| minimec | Giles: That should do too, I guess. No Idea, but I guess as the gstreamer framework can handle it. | 21:03 |
| littlegirl | Hey there, I use an older release of Kubuntu, but a friend uses Ubuntu 10.4 and has messed up some of his configuration. I know that in Kubuntu there's a hidden folder in the home directory that you can delete to force the system to recreate it with default settings. Is there a folder like that in Ubuntu, and if so, what's it named? | 21:03 |
| flodin | a dpkg-reconfigure plymouth helped | 21:03 |
| dvheumen | SandGorgon, change of plans. I'm going to do a reinstall. I want my system clean and functioning. I'll backup /var/log/dpkg.log first, do you have any other suggestions for logs or so to backup? | 21:03 |

| minimec | esarandon: Your headphone entries are set 'OO' and you still hear your speakers when you plug the headphone? If that is so, you would have a alsa (soundsystem) problem | 21:04 |
| dvheumen | SandGorgon, in the mean time I'll post the dpkg log on, so you can have a look too | 21:04 |
| recon69_lap | esarandon: you got 5.1 sound? I had a similar problem, had to mute some channels to get headphones to work right | 21:04 |
| Williamj | kk | 21:05 |

| rodriguezjfz | ruben23: yes | 21:05 |
| maco | haavaros: itll only suggest what you have installe | 21:05 |
| maco | haavaros: so if its suggesting gnome apps, its because you installed a few | 21:06 |

| recon69_lap | esarandon: try using alsamixer to mute the channels that are comming out of the speakers when you have headphones pluged in, might work | 21:08 |
| maco | haavaros: no. the update manager just updates what's already installed. doesnt normally add anything new (exception: occasionally an update will want a new package, but then update manager should say something about it, such as when a new kernel is installed) | 21:08 |

| minimec | Giles: As I don't have any v4l device, I cannot help you further. You could try to check gstreamer-properties. In the Video section you should be able to test your device. | 21:11 |

| datacrusher | hello everyone. iv changed my plymouth theme, but i still got a very long blank screen before it loads, and it stays just a few seconds before gnome asks for login, is that a bug? | 21:32 |
| recon69_lap | icepeda: sorry, did not realise that 10.4 was relesed | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | datacrusher: are you using an nvidia video card? | 21:33 |
| th1_ | I have a Logitech mouse with left/right actions on the wheel. in Windows I have assigned these moves to Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab so I can surf my tabs in chrome/firefox. Can I set a similar mapping in Ubuntu 10.04? | 21:33 |
| tom_fishy | Hi, I just installed ubuntu as a guest OS with Vbox. I then installed the guest additions and it worked fine. I could maximize the screen, move the mouse without taping the host control and so on. Then I installed a few apps with synaptic that said that ubuntu must be restarted so I did that. But after that it was like my guest addionts isn't installed anymore. All I did was unmount it and... | 21:33 |
| tom_fishy | ...removed it as a "disc from vbox". Can't I un-mount it after I have installed it? | 21:33 |

| h00k | !upgrade | bonez2046 | 21:34 |
| ubottu | bonez2046: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 21:34 |
| sebsebseb | boolean: 9.04 is still good and you got until end of October before it goes end of life, and no more updates | 21:34 |
| recon69_lap | icepeda: the next version of ubuntu, as i said , did not realise the had released 10.4 | 21:34 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: ^ | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tom_fishy: i'd ask in #vbox | 21:34 |
| datacrusher | ActionParsnip, no, its intel onboard | 21:34 |

| ActionParsnip | datacrusher: tey are usually ok, its a bug with nvidia cards afaik | 21:34 |

| datacrusher | ah ActionParsnip ok then | 21:35 |
| sebsebseb | boolean: depending on features you want and to some extent hardware, 9.04 may be the better release | 21:35 |

| onetinsoldier | howdy | 21:35 |
| edwardthefma | hi | 21:35 |
| icepeda | recon69_lap: ok, yup, 10.04 is ready, I saw that 386 is working well, but I face that issue in amd64, so be careful if you will use amd64 | 21:35 |
| littlepenguin | hi | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | datacrusher: i'd check your theme install | 21:35 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: You have to put the file directly into the windows parition | 21:35 |
| hdtdi | ActionParsnip, and what if this md5 is ok ? i mean.. why is this needed at first place? | 21:36 |
| bert_ | I would like to know if it is possible to have 3D acceleration working in ubuntu 10.04 with an intel 845g ? | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | datacrusher: you may need to run: sudo update-initramfs -u | 21:36 |
| th1_ | minimec, thanks! I'm looking at imwheel now | 21:36 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: you could try upgrading through 9.10 if your going to do 10.04, or just clean install and get Ext4 and Grub 2 by default, altough those two features aren't really needed anyway | 21:36 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: And that, you have to do with your Linux is | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hdtdi: so you know the data you are using is complete and consistant | 21:36 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: OS* | 21:37 |
| edwardthefma | ok | 21:37 |
| datacrusher | holy crap! i removed acidentaly network icon from the pannel, how do i get it back? | 21:37 |
| h00k | datacrusher: nm-applet | 21:37 |
| sebsebseb | !language | datacrusher | 21:37 |
| ubottu | datacrusher: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | datacrusher: alt+f2 type: nm-applet press enter | 21:37 |
| clrg | datacrusher: Add to panel --> Notification bar | 21:37 |
| hdtdi | ActionParsnip, so.. basically .. there should be no logon screen when you run ubuntu "demonstration and install" ? | 21:37 |
| datacrusher | ActionParsnip, the update worked! | 21:37 |
| minimec | th1_: Give it a try and be aware of the philosophy... It allows you to give any option to the tilt function of your Logitech Mouse depending in which window the mouse is. | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | datacrusher: sweet :) | 21:37 |
| datacrusher | plymonth just fine now, ill put the nm back | 21:38 |
| esarandon | When i plug in my speakers or headphones in the jack on my laptop i expect the laptop's own small speakers to stop playing sound. However i get double sound output, both through the plugged in headphones/speakers and the laptop's speakers | 21:38 |
| bonez2046 | sebsebseb: I erred. I am running 9.10 so I see I can just run 'update-manager' to upgrade directly | 21:38 |
| clrg | datacrusher: I meant notification area. If nm-applet is already running. | 21:38 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: yes | 21:38 |
| bonez2046 | sebsebseb: so you don't put much stock either in Ext4 or in Grub2? | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | hdtdi: usually yes, If you restart the x server using the key shortcut, does it autologin | 21:38 |
| Guest20876 | liquidmeson I tried and it came back with E: DPKG was interupted you must run sudo dpkg --configure -a and i ran that and I get dpkg: unable to access dkpg status area read only | 21:38 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: I do it everytime, so I change the default repertory of firefox's download directly into the my documents' windows folder | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: what you mean much stock? | 21:39 |
| h00k | esarandon: actually, from what I know, it's hardware that controls that | 21:39 |
| hdtdi | ActionParsnip, what key swhortcut ? | 21:39 |
| jorozco | I've been trying to get a copy of ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso which won't fail the integrity test. Is anyone else experiencing this? | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | hdtdi: alt+K+PrintScreen | 21:39 |
| Arsin | I'm getting no sound in Lucid, had it in Karmic, check my ALSA config looks right, anyone know what might be wrong? | 21:39 |
| bonez2046 | sebsebseb: stock meaning value... to you Ext4 and Grub2 represent little reason to upgrade to them, right? | 21:39 |
| clrg | jorozco: Try ftp://mirror.switch.ch | 21:39 |
| edwardthefma | ok | 21:39 |
| esarandon | h00k: how can I fix it? | 21:39 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: Ext4 is good, Grub 2 isn't | 21:39 |
| edwardthefma | thx Siantoine | 21:40 |
| recon69_lap | later, I'm off to buy a cheap phone | 21:40 |
| liquidmeson | @Guest20876 if you have a ubuntu cd I would use it to access your computer and back up files, after that I reccomend a fresh insteall | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jorozco: try torrents, the protocol adds extra data checks | 21:40 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: Np | 21:40 |
| edwardthefma | Siantoine can i pm | 21:40 |
| h00k | esarandon: good question. I don't know if you are able to | 21:40 |
| sebsebseb | bonez2046: however both provide little reason to upgrade specifdally for them | 21:40 |
| bonez2046 | Arsin: did you try killing npviewer.bin and retrying the sound? | 21:40 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: good is an opinion so is not concrete | 21:40 |
| bonez2046 | sebsebseb: fair enough | 21:40 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: What? | 21:40 |
| liquidmeson | @Guest20876 I would also use the disk utility on the cd to check if your hard drive is failing, system>administration<disk utility | 21:40 |
| esarandon | h00k: :s ok.. I will keep playing around. than you | 21:40 |
| Arsin | Also, Compiz (Appearance Settings Extra) with flash is not working anyone know why? | 21:40 |
| * clrg is tired | 21:40 | |
| hdtdi | ActionParsnip, nothin happens with alt+k+printscreen | 21:40 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: I don't understand | 21:40 |
| Arsin | bonez2046, hmm.. how do I do that? | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yeah and best, pretty, ugly, and beautiful are opinons as well | 21:41 |
| edwardthefma | privet messege | 21:41 |
| h00k | esarandon: most that I know of, anyway, are hardware controlled, the actual card/plug determines connectivity and turns speakers off | 21:41 |
| bonez2046 | ps ax | grep npviewer.bin | 21:41 |
| h00k | !pm | edwardthefma | 21:41 |

| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: sebsebseb I was going to say that grub2 works fine on my machines but like ActionParsnip pointed out WFM is relative | 21:41 |
| Guest20876 | liquidmeslon, I hate that, I have a CD around here somewhere or I will burn one. | 21:41 |
| bonez2046 | Arsin: and then kill the numbered process | 21:41 |
| jorozco | I've tried the torrents, as well as the ubuntu download page itself. I've even checked the MD5 checksums - they all match. However, after I burn onto a CDR, and try to install, it fails. | 21:41 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: it works sure, but old version is easier to configure and such | 21:41 |
| h00k | jorozco: Verify the md5 after you burn as well, there's an option to do that | 21:42 |
| joe234 | can help me? wont boot, it says init: networking main process (584) terinated with status 1 | 21:42 |
| esarandon | h00k: i found this: The fix is to first turn down the volume to 0 in everything in Kmix mixer, then edit as root the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file. Add this line to the end, then save and reboot. options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch | 21:42 |
| Siantoine | edwardthefma: English is not my motherlanguage and im only 16 so I don't understand English very well when It's written in SMS | 21:42 |
| liquidmeson | @Guest20876 if you back up your home folder including hidden files and copy it into your new install, same folder most of your settings will be saved | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hdtdi: i believe the credentials are: username=ubuntu password=ubuntu | 21:42 |
| jorozco | Thanks h00k. Will try your suggestion | 21:42 |
| esarandon | h00k: do you know how to edit the alsa-base file? | 21:42 |
| liquidmeson | @Guest20876 all you have to do after that is reinstall the extra programs you want | 21:42 |
| joe234 | anybody? | 21:43 |
| h00k | esarandon: you can type 'gtksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' in a terminal or when you press alt+f2 | 21:43 |

| KRiMoRaL | Here's the question I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing: Moving the window controls from the left back to the right... how to? | 21:43 |
| Arsin | <bonez2046> Nothing happened | 21:43 |
| icepeda | does somebody can help me?, I just upgrade my ubuntu distro to 10.04 amd64, but the windows manager is not working, I try to enable it but it depends from swfdec-mozilla and that crash with epiphany-extensions ( one remove the other) and both are needed for install gnome package, any idea how to take out one if these dependencies?, or does someone face this error? | 21:43 |
| esarandon | h00k: ok | 21:43 |
| sebsebseb | !controls | KRiMoRaL | 21:43 |
| ubottu | KRiMoRaL: 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 | 21:43 |
| esarandon | I will try something else before that | 21:43 |
| h00k | esarandon: just make sure to write down what it was, just in case ;) | 21:44 |
| sebsebseb | KRiMoRaL: no I like when people ask that and I see it, since about 200 people complained about this, when it happended in development | 21:44 |
| fluxdust | has any one had trouble with the ub. up grade it crashed my lap top any ideas ? | 21:44 |
| th1_ | minimec, I dont think I can use that imwheel | 21:44 |

| sebsebseb | KRiMoRaL: yeah odd order on the left and such it's a bit uh. easy to change though for those themes, or just change theme, altough to begin with it was going to be for all themes, which really did get at people | 21:45 |
| minimec | th1_: Why not? I use it with an Logitech Air, a Logitech G5, even with my Laptop Touchpad... | 21:45 |
| juanca | I don't have internet in Ubuntu Server as guest in Ubuntu desktop, using virtualbox... how can check in the guest any possible problems? | 21:45 |
| ChogyDan | joe234: the ureadhead msg just means you have more than one partition | 21:46 |
| KRiMoRaL | crazy | 21:46 |
| icepeda | fluxdust: are you using ub 10.04 amd64? | 21:46 |

| superdug | I remember seeing a unofficial ubuntu control panel ... makes quick changes of some of the stuff not by default configurable | 21:46 |

| === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather | ||

| ubottu | PJAMA: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:51 |
| IdleOne | PJAMA: ask and someone will try to help if they know | 21:51 |
| _pg__ | KRiMoRaL: it seems to be taking me to the installer process right away | 21:51 |
| fluxdust | take care and thanks | 21:51 |
| _pg__ | im trying it again, its taking an awfully long time to boot up | 21:51 |
| KRiMoRaL | _pg__, in the window enviroment? | 21:51 |
| IdleOne | _pg__: you sure that is the Live CD and not Alternate? | 21:51 |
| KRiMoRaL | IdleOne, touche | 21:52 |
| _pg__ | IdleOne: yessir its not the alternate | 21:52 |
| PJAMA | I have a problem with Installing Wubi on Windows 7. Everytime I boot it up, It gives me error numbers with brackets and words. | 21:52 |
| IdleOne | _pg__: ok | 21:52 |
| _pg__ | its beautiful tho i must say | 21:52 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: ok that's a good thing in a way, and here's why | 21:52 |
| littlepenguin | alternate is better to encrypt disk before installing and creating a lvm | 21:52 |
| PJAMA | why? | 21:52 |
| _pg__ | KRiMoRaL: stll booting...hold fast... | 21:52 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: Wubi can really mess up on people, and oh yes it happens sometimes, also it's only really ok for short term Ubuntu testing, not for proper long term useage | 21:52 |
| KRiMoRaL | _pg__, just let it load up, and in the first window of the installation process, near the top middle I would say, is the Live button. | 21:52 |
| cr33p | hi, does somebody know why my wireless connection slowed down? it was with 420 kb/s after i changed the encryption to wpa2 but after 10 minutes it slowed down to 100kb/s | 21:52 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: may as well do a proper dual boot set up, not that difficult to do | 21:52 |
| ParkerM | I have a problem with rhythmbox on lucid. It keeps giving an error on id3 tag demuxer and when i try to download it it says it can't be found. | 21:52 |
| juanca | what is "internet superserver" ? | 21:53 |
| PJAMA | Is there a Way to install Wubi with compatability mode? | 21:53 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: and with one of those, if something was to ever happen where you can't just boot up into the system, you can stick the LIve CD in and access the partition from it, and get hold of any data | 21:53 |
| _pg__ | KRiMoRaL: ah. i restarted befoire that cause i expected a splash screen like always lol | 21:53 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: compatabilty mode oh in WIndows you mean | 21:53 |
| littlepenguin | !ubottu: internet superserver | 21:53 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:53 |
| PJAMA | yea | 21:53 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Argh. Finally, I've installed Grub to root partition. here is the trick: sudo grub-install --force /dev/sdxy 2> /dev/null | 21:53 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: What do you think Wubi does? | 21:53 |
| whitecat | does anyone know how to create low bitrate screencasts like this one http://bpython-interpreter.org/screenshots/ ? | 21:54 |
| PJAMA | Installs Ubuntu without harming windows | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | hdtdi: weird, well the username is ubuntu. I know that for sure | 21:54 |
| === jexmex is now known as jexmex_ | ||
| KRiMoRaL | _pg__, yeah I was a little confused the first time I ran 10 as well like that. | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: if it goes wrong it can effect booting up Windows. | 21:54 |
| littlepenguin | pjama the boot record is the problem..the data is untouched | 21:54 |
| _pg__ | KRiMoRaL: im so impatient some times haha | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | PJAMA: also no you don't use Wubi whilst also running Windows | 21:54 |
| hdtdi | ActionParsnip, when i write ubuntu with no pass.. the screen changes for a second and then.. again the login screen | 21:54 |
| PJAMA | oh darn. have 2 go. bye | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | hrm | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | sebsebseb: I don't see how wubi would affect windows' ability to boot. | 21:54 |

| ahmose | hey all, quick question on update manager.... | 21:55 |
| KRiMoRaL | Does Wubi make WindowsBootLoader not the default? Can't remember... | 21:55 |
| juanca | when an installation of ubuntu server starts with 'not starting internet superserver...' does it mean I won't have internet access? because I don't have it | 21:55 |
| sebsebseb | Jordan_U: only problem with that, is since he had to leave so soon, and didn't fully understand me, now he might not try Ubuntu, Live CD, or Wubi, hrm or virtual machine | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | hdtdi: try the last suggestion here | 21:55 |
| sudo-su | i have a problem...the system give me this msj when is booting: "An error occurredd while mounting /disc | 21:55 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: You think that is what it was? | 21:55 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: What do you mean? | 21:56 |
| ahmose | after a new release [like 10.04]... Should I have both the "recomended updates, and security updates checked off? or is it ok to still just have it to get security updates? | 21:56 |
| ahmose | or does a new release NEED the recomened updates as well? | 21:56 |
| IdleOne | sebsebseb: I mean I think you focus to much on explaning what could go wrong instead of focusing on what the persons issue is | 21:56 |
| Durf | liquidmeson>dirf: system>admin>disk utility see if it shows up? | 21:56 |
| Durf | no it does not | 21:57 |

| MojoWork | so is there a somewhat painless way to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit yet? | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ahmose: yes it will need updates | 21:57 |
| cr33p | does somebody know why my wireless connection slowed down? it was with 420 kb/s after i changed the encryption to wpa2 but after 10 minutes it slowed down to 100kb/s | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | MojoWork: not without a reinstall, no | 21:57 |
| justin22885 | question:.... whats the best flash player to use with 64 bit ubuntu 10.04? | 21:57 |
| MojoWork | or is it still bascially a "save you list of .." | 21:57 |
| _pg__ | KRiMoRaL: so far so good. thanks for that | 21:57 |
| MojoWork | ActionParsnip: that's what i thought | 21:57 |
| sudo-su | i have a problem...the system give me this msj when is booting: "An error occurredd while mounting /disc | 21:57 |
| liquidmeson | durf: well assuming different usb slots don't work? open a terminal and try | 21:57 |

| dhrosa | heya, trying to install 10.04, and the installer hangs after I choose my keyboard layout | 21:58 |

| ashi | Pici: arrrr | 21:58 |
| Durf | try what in terminal? | 21:58 |
| MojoWork | justin22885: there's a package that installs the 32bit adobe plugin | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | dhrosa: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 21:58 |
| dhrosa | yes | 21:58 |
| justin22885 | that ndswrapper or something? | 21:58 |
| MojoWork | justin22885: adobe-flashplugin | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | justin22885: sometimes when people uninstall Wubi, the bootloaders mess up, and then they can't boot up Windows | 21:59 |
| MojoWork | justin22885: it uses ndiswrapper i think | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | dhrosa: good. Try some boot options and/or disable unnecessary hardware in BIOS for the duration of the install | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | no not you justin22885 | 21:59 |
| MojoWork | justin22885: the packages makes it painless and it just works | 21:59 |

| ahmose | steve, try turning compiz off | 22:00 |
| apparle | when you install that package (flashplugin-installer). a deb file is downloaded. and when the deb file is being installed, another file is downloaded. Why is it that whole thing can't come in a deb file. | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | stevewaldon: does it unfreeze on its own? | 22:00 |
| stevewaldon | no | 22:00 |
| dhrosa | Jordan_U, the window still responds, but it makes no progress | 22:00 |
| Jordan_U | sebsebseb: Bug report? | 22:00 |
| stevewaldon | it freezes and stays that way. | 22:00 |
| dhrosa | Jordan_U, lets me quit just fine | 22:00 |

| stevewaldon | i have to wait for my battery to die | 22:00 |

| === nitin is now known as nit | ||
| ActionParsnip | apparle: flash is proprietary, the deb file downloads the flash from the Adobe website. I'm not sure of the legality of Ubuntu hosting the plugin | 22:01 |
| ahmose | go into "appearance" click the visual effects tab, and check off "none" | 22:01 |
| Jordan_U | dhrosa: Probably won't be any since 10.04 was just released, but have you tried the button to "Update the installer"? | 22:01 |

| skybinary | hiyaz :) | 22:01 |
| stevewaldon | so, does anyone have any hints? | 22:01 |
| apparle | ActionParsnip: but I think the file is downloaded from a canonical server itself | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | short: network manage has an option to use dhcp for IP address only, allowing you to set DNS servers manually | 22:02 |
| short | ActionParnship, I selected Network Tools From System -> Preferences, but I can't see any active network connection although from ifconfig I can see one | 22:02 |
| ahmose | Steve~ go to System/Admin/appearance.. and see if you can turn off "visual effects" | 22:02 |
| KRiMoRaL | lol | 22:02 |
| KRiMoRaL | _pg__, we're in here now I think n;) | 22:02 |

| Durf | It failed. | 22:03 |
| skybinary | i wondered is there an easy way to enable my bluetooth headset ffwd/rwd controls? | 22:03 |

I can start the 2nd xsession with: startx -- :1 -layout tv; but all key/mouse events go to either of the Xsessions instead of 1 set of key/mouse being assigned to each xsession. I've listed the keyb/mouse for each in the ServerLayout but that doesnt seem to have the desired effect, any ideas? | 22:04 |

| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I'm already <-> close to re-installing. I just gotta hit install. Since you've asked I'll let you see what you can do. The PC boots up and peforms POST as normal, and then a cursor appears in the upper left corner, no GRUB menu is displayed, and then my monitor says 'No input' and goes into standby. Blank. Nothing. Occasionally when I press random keys the whole things reboots, and then just goes blank again. I don't k | 22:16 |
| SealedWithAKiss | now what's wrogn. | 22:16 |
| |Trend| | ActionParsnip, thank you kindly | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | short: so it never says: generated by network manager | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | chrispche: as for Skype yes, it can be rather annoying at times to set up | 22:17 |
| short | ActionParsnip, no | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | chrispche: and not that much can be done about that, since it's closed source software | 22:17 |
| hmw | chrispche: make sure to torture it thoroughly before throwing it. Perhaps you might consider my method: throw it out the window, go down to the street, collect the rest, walk up again and repeat until only dust is left over :P just try to stay calm. Ubuntu can be very annoying sometimes. One gets used to it over time. Always remember, you get what you paid for. | 22:17 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Try holding shift during boot and choose the recovery mode option from the grub menu. | 22:17 |

| chrispche | maco: Thanks. Is there a support number in the UK I could ring? I don't mind paying for it. Skype is very very important. | 22:19 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, it's not the monitor as I have checked it with another one. One thing worth noting, after the upgrade Synaptic wouldn't work so I used a fix that I saw online which (I think) involved removing xorg-driver-fglrx. It was after that reboot (the second reboot since the upgrade) that my problem started. | 22:19 |

| short | ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll give it a try | 22:20 |
| chrispche | It's not a skype problem is f'ing pulseaudio not picking up my voice from the mic. | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | radhika: disable the controller in bios (assuming no other devices are attatched to the same controller | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | chrispche: oh pulse audio issuss ah yes | 22:20 |
| maco | sebsebseb: it's not a well-staffed channel | 22:20 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: If you removed fglrx without fixing (or simply removing) your xorg.conf that might explain some of the problem. | 22:20 |
| IdleOne | chrispche: you were already asked once to watch the language. Please keep it family friendly | 22:20 |

| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, would recovery mode resolve that problem? Also if I removed xorg.conf now would that resolve the problem? | 22:21 |

| unspin | has anyone had any luck (network) tethering an iphone to a Ubuntu 10.04 machine (either bluetooth or usb)? | 22:49 |
| mickster04 | ricko: if the user isnt in the sudoers file they can't get sudo access | 22:49 |
| BlueEagle | ricko: Are you sure that you're recieving an error about not having privileges and not an error that some file is already in use? | 22:49 |
| Grizmawe | ricko, root password is not used in ubuntu by default. each user you wish to use synaptics or other root programs must be in the sudo file | 22:49 |
| winXPuser | Mandrew, what does 'tether' stand for in this context? | 22:50 |
| cached | So is an alias pretty much just binding a command? | 22:50 |
| ricko | yes its privilages | 22:50 |
| Mandrew | unspin i have a article from the magazine linux user that you might get something out | 22:50 |
| ricko | i open synaptic it asks me for pass | 22:50 |
| unspin | i've been playing with it all afternoon | 22:50 |
| hmw | ricko: is it a user, you added yourself? | 22:50 |
| BlueEagle | winXPuser: You teather a phone to a machine (typically a laptop) with a cable and then use the phone as a modem to access the internet. | 22:50 |
| Paul_C | ricko, put in your password, not root's | 22:50 |
| Mandrew | winXPuser it stands for using the iphone as a modem | 22:50 |
| mickster04 | ricko: use the cli and it may give you more info | 22:51 |
| winXPuser | Mandrew, okay, re-install the iphone driver? | 22:51 |
| unspin | after plugging in the USB cable the network connection is created and i can access the iphone through its default ip (192.168.20.1) | 22:51 |
| unspin | but it doesn't respond to DHCP requests | 22:51 |
| unspin | and manually setting the iphone ip address as the default gateway doesn't fly | 22:51 |
| ricko | its a user i added and i used its pass whats cli | 22:51 |
| Mandrew | winXPuser i dont know if i have one and if i do i have no clue how to do that | 22:51 |

| skiwithpete | erUSUL, I have downloaded the alternate install CD. I mount it according to the instructions... and nothing happens!!!! | 23:07 |
| FluffyMaster | can anyone help me with an issue with a wubi install?? | 23:07 |
| mickster04 | hmw: lol i guess not, depends where the servers are | 23:07 |
| Jordan_U | radhika: If you are asking if you can install a bootloader to your external drive without loosing the files on it, the answer is yes. | 23:07 |
| Mandrew | how do i do this? edit/etc/default/bluetooth | 23:07 |
| radhika | Jordan_U, thanks | 23:07 |
| altavatar | Anyone have any luck witha multiseat setup with 10.04? Everything online is for the old GDM in 9.10 | 23:07 |
| mickster04 | !ask | FluffyMaster | 23:07 |
| ubottu | FluffyMaster: 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. :-) | 23:07 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, the volume icon is provided by the indicator applet. Right click on the panel and choose "add to panel" then select the "indicator applet" | 23:07 |
| mickster04 | hmw: i meant i guess so | 23:08 |
| skiwithpete | erUSUL, it does not load, or run a script, it just sits on my desktop, doing nothing!!! | 23:08 |
| kip | radhika: Sorry, but I really don't know. I have never used windows on a personal computer. | 23:08 |
| Loshki | VCoolio: you *can* combine find, xargs and grep to look thru files recursively, it's a traditional solution.... | 23:08 |
| hmw | Mandrew: type into the terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/default/whatever | 23:08 |
| melomane | i can't connect to DSL through network manager in ubuntu 10.04? Does the problem still exist in 10.04? | 23:08 |
| user__ | ok, just found the -R option in the manpage of grep; I will try; thanks to all ! | 23:08 |
| radhika | kip, no problem, Jordan_U answered the question | 23:08 |
| toyman61 | Lucid Lynx: Trying to get D-Link DWA-140 wireless adapter to work in 802.11n-mode. After installation it works in 802.11g-mode. Tried to compile and install from source from Ratek, but I'm a bit confused. The README-file talks about the 'ra0'-device, but on my version the device name is "wlan0". How do I solve this ? | 23:08 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: what are you trying to do | 23:09 |
| Mandrew | thanks hmw | 23:09 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: Yes how do you select the sound? | 23:09 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04.3 to 10.04 | 23:09 |
| zakmc | Where do I enter the neccessary info to browse windows shares (Workgroup comes to mind) using 10.4 netbook? | 23:09 |
| FluffyMaster | When i select "Ubuntu Netbook" from the windows bootloader(installed with wubi) i get an error that says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" How do I fix this? | 23:09 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, I can't see the upgrade through the update-manager | 23:09 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: so where does windows come in | 23:09 |
| kip | radhika: good to hear, sorry i wasnt more of a help | 23:09 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, I don't have windowws | 23:09 |
| Jordan_U | radhika: Mount the external, let's say to "/mnt" and run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb" Where your flash drive is /dev/sdb (be sure to check that you have the correct device before installing) | 23:09 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, there is no GRUB menu displayed whatsoever. | 23:10 |
| apparle | erUSUL: what did you suggest him to do? | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Even when you hold shift? | 23:10 |
| melomane | no idea about ubuntu 10.04 network manager DSL? | 23:10 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, even when I hold shift. | 23:10 |
| jthing | My web browser doesn't see Java.. | 23:10 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, I can't see the upgrade, so erUSUL suggested I download the alternateinstall CD | 23:10 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, which I did. | 23:10 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, what do you mean "select the sound"? do you have the icon? do you mean the sound source? go to sound preferences in the volume icon and select the card from the hardware tab | 23:10 |
| radhika | Jordan_U, thanks, got it | 23:11 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, and I mount it according to the instructions on the site, but it does not pop-up offering me to upgrade with the script | 23:11 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: just a min...I'll get back to you | 23:11 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Interesting, do you have more than one hard drive? Any other OS's installed? | 23:11 |
| Jordan_U | radhika: You're welcome. | 23:11 |
| Mandrew | gksudo gedit /etc/default/bluetooth is an empty document do i have a big problem? | 23:11 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, it does nothing | 23:11 |
| short | Can somebody help with network issues pls? | 23:11 |
| hmw | skiwithpete -c shuld show dist-upgrades | 23:11 |
| hmw | skiwithpete update-manager -c shuld show dist-upgrades | 23:11 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I have Windows Vista installed, however that's also unusable because of an update loop. | 23:12 |
| Grizmawe | jthing, if you havent done so yet you need to install the JRE: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: "update loop"? | 23:12 |
| skiwithpete | hmw, it does not show the upgrade | 23:12 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: There is no volume icon up in that area that's the problem I want it back. I was uninstalling pulseaudio and installing esound to see if I could get my voice recorded or picked up the computer. I know it's not my hardware as everything worked fine 9.10. Also I'm using 64bit if that makes any difference. | 23:12 |
| FluffyMaster | When i select "Ubuntu Netbook" from the windows bootloader(installed with wubi) i get an error that says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" How do I fix this? | 23:12 |
| jthing | Grizmawe, I have, but The browser(s) don't see it. | 23:13 |
| skiwithpete | hmw, I have already checked the upgrade tab in sources and selected LTS | 23:13 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I installed a Windows Vista update and every time the PC boots it says updating stage 3 of 3 and then reboots. That goes on and on and on until you get bored of watching the system reboot. | 23:13 |
| joth | Gnome won't start after I upgraded to 10.04 - can anyone help please? | 23:13 |
| mickster04 | FluffyMaster: with the partitioning menu | 23:13 |
| professional-are | how do i make my windows partition automatically mount when startup??? i have music files in there and i have to click it to open so my rythimbox will detect them and i would save em an extra click thanksyou :) | 23:13 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, so if you add the indicator applet to the top bar does is show the volume control? | 23:13 |
| ChrisC_ | No | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Can you boot windows currently (even if only to go through the loop)? | 23:14 |
| FluffyMaster | mickster04:how do i get there? | 23:14 |
| skiwithpete | hmw, I was told to download the alternate install CD - which I've done, but when I mount it, it does not say there is an upgrade | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | professional-are: you could add the script to the init.d folder? | 23:14 |
| altitron | How can you mount an iso file on ubuntu? | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | FluffyMaster: when you're installing dont you have to say where it goes? | 23:14 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, Also, go to System--> Preferences--> Sound. Can you select your audio card in there? | 23:14 |
| hmw | skiwithpete: i am not sure, what your issue is. i never used the alternate cd, also. | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | !iso | 23:14 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 23:14 |
| fosco_ | altitron, dobleclic on it | 23:14 |
| mickster04 | altitron: ^^^^ | 23:15 |
| FluffyMaster | mickster04:i installed this with wubi so i wouldnt have to partition | 23:15 |
| theGman | Ok,as Iamstillnew to ubuntu/deb, how does one go about getting regular dvd's to play and getting the mmms plugin for browsers to play streaming tv? I couldn't find anything on the ws. | 23:15 |
| Mandrew | mickster04 gksudo gedit /etc/default/bluetooth is an empty document do i have a big problem? | 23:15 |
| mickster04 | FluffyMaster: you still have to install it somewhere? | 23:15 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: No it doesn't and yes I can select my sound card from there. I just want it back on the task bar. I tried reseting gnome desktop that didn't work either. | 23:15 |
| Grizmawe | jthing, firefox should run java applets if you close and open it again after installing the JRE. If you bring up a terminal and do "java --version" what does it say? | 23:15 |
| altitron | fosco_, ^^ohh i thought it is like in windows, were you need to get software like alcohol...and daemon tools. | 23:15 |
| mickster04 | Mandrew: no idea, does the srevice thing work? | 23:15 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I can't no because there was an entry in GRUB to boot it, and I can't get the GRUB menu to display. I have had problems with Vista and GRUB in the past, GRUB doesn't automatically detect Vista so I have had to add an entry manually. | 23:15 |
| altitron | fosco_, thanks | 23:15 |
| joth | gdm won't start; it says "Connection :1.10 is not allowed to own the service org.gnome.DisplayManager due to security policies in the configuration file | 23:15 |
| fosco_ | ok | 23:15 |
| FluffyMaster | mickster04: i am assuming that i installed it with the default options, whatever taht might be | 23:16 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: it is a desktop right? | 23:16 |
| theGman | !dvd > theGman | 23:16 |
| ubottu | theGman, please see my private message | 23:16 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: not a server | 23:16 |
| george_ | hello is there anyone whoe is willing to help a noob | 23:16 |
| Mandrew | mickster04 no im having problems with my bluetooth and tethering on my iphone | 23:16 |
| leagris | Can you help with: enigmail-locale-fr: Depends: enigmail (< 2:0.96) but 2:1.0.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed besides I did an apt-get update on the main Lucid repositories? | 23:16 |
| skiwithpete | yeah, desktop (laptop) | 23:16 |
| mickster04 | FluffyMaster: i havent used wubi soryr | 23:16 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, yeah, desktop (laptop) | 23:16 |
| skybinary | !pastebucket | 23:16 |
| mickster04 | Mandrew: so you dont have a bluetooth service running, can you tab-complete sumat to do with bluetooth? | 23:16 |
| mickster04 | like sudo service bl[tab] , it should show you a list of options if there is more than one | 23:17 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: so you have mounted it? | 23:17 |
| iflema | !ask | george_ | 23:17 |
| ubottu | george_: 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. :-) | 23:17 |
| Mandrew | mickster04 im a newbie i have no clue about that :( | 23:17 |
| imanc | mounting .. kinky | 23:17 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe:I would love to pay for some support, but it's a bit of a steep price when you only have niggling problems. I'm sure there is a very simple solution to all this. | 23:17 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, yes, I mounted the CD | 23:17 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, so at the moment I have two operating systems and can use neither. There is a fix for the Vista update loop however I need a copy of the recovery CD which I don't have. | 23:17 |
| professional-are | mickster04, please explain i was thinking of adding it to the startup applications as a command but i do ot know what the command is | 23:17 |
| FluffyMaster | mickster04: i am assuming that i installed it with the default options, whatever taht might be | 23:17 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: I only need to know a few things. | 23:17 |
| FluffyMaster | aaagh, nvm | 23:17 |
| FluffyMaster | my bad | 23:17 |
| FluffyMaster | lol | 23:18 |
| peterkls | is anyone else having problems installing onto a raid drive? | 23:18 |
| FluffyMaster | When i select "Ubuntu Netbook" from the windows bootloader(installed with wubi) i get an error that says "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" How do I fix this? | 23:18 |
| george_ | where should i install teamspeak 2 | 23:18 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: Other than that I'm good. | 23:18 |
| FloodBot3 | FluffyMaster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Ok, my guess is that windows has overwritten grub. You can check this by running this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ and if that's the problem you can fix it with this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 23:18 |
| jthing | Grizmawe, 1.6.0_18 | 23:18 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: so did you read the note after 4th step in http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | Mandrew: well type in sudo service bl[tab key] it autocompletes stuff for you... | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | FluffyMaster: no idea, i dont use wubi | 23:18 |
| Mandrew | mickster04 i follow a guide from the magazine linux user on how to tether the iphone with bluetooth but i cant get it to work | 23:18 |
| linxeh | is there a UNR channel? I'm having issues with my netbook wireless (an asus eeepc 1001ha) | 23:18 |
| deshymers | I'm tring to debug a wireless network issue, I've been following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide it is a broadcom nic card, and I have the driver installed and activated. I get to the point where I check if the driver is loaded with the lsmod command, and it does show the driver but not the nic card, and when I use modprobe to add the module it doesnt add it or give an reason why. Is there somethi | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | Mandrew: yeah i don't use bluetooth | 23:18 |
| GeekSquid | Mandrew: follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195655 | 23:18 |
| mickster04 | thanks GeekSquid :D | 23:19 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, Windows was giving me problems for about a month, I had Ubuntu and GRUB working for ages. I can't boot now since upgrading to 10.04 and messing about with fglrx because the upgrade 'broke' Synaptic. | 23:19 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: You forgot about me :) | 23:19 |
| handjob | Hi. I just found out on grub's irc that ubuntu's kernal have aids and won't respect the vga settings passed via boot loader. How can i change my command line resolution then. Help? | 23:19 |
| Mandrew | thanks GeekSquid i have a look at it | 23:19 |
| george_ | should i install all my programs into one folder and if so what folder ... anyone? | 23:20 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, I feel like a twat. Thank you so much for going through this with me | 23:20 |
| theshadow | If I use Places >> Connect to Server >> Windows Share on Ubuntu 8.04 where does it mount it to on the drive? | 23:20 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, hmm seems ubuntu doesnt use the standard volume control applet. if you hit Alt-F2 and run gnome-volume-control-applet it places the standard gnome volume control | 23:20 |
| apparle | skiwithpete: no problem | 23:20 |
| iflema | george_ are you familiar with synaptic and/or the software centre? | 23:20 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: How do I get the standard one back again? | 23:20 |
| theGman | I think I've gotten it. :P | 23:20 |
| * skiwithpete twat | 23:20 | |
| GeekSquid | george_: programs? meaning what, most of the programs used in ubuntu are installed in a number of directories using .deb scripting, please explain further | 23:21 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, dont know.... yet | 23:21 |
| theGman | Once remembered...ubottu can be very helpful and expedient. :P | 23:21 |
| skiwithpete | apparle, I feel so shit for not having read the extra 2 lines down... owe you a beer. | 23:21 |

| mathew | hi, i have lost the use of my touch pad after i pressed the shortcut to disable it, pressing it again does nothing. I have googled this problem and it said something about going into System > Prefences > Mouse and tick something to do with the touchpad but i dont seee anythin there | 23:22 |
| mickster04 | mathew: it miht be a different tab? | 23:22 |
| short | I cannot see NetworkManager on the panel. If I open Network Connections no connections are shown but ifconfig shows connections. | 23:22 |
| mathew | nope | 23:22 |
| GeekSquid | mathew: have you rebooted? | 23:22 |
| mathew | i tried different tabs | 23:22 |
| mathew | yes i rebooted | 23:22 |
| george_ | yes i am familiar with the software center but when i have to install a program that isnt in the software center where should i extract the program...IE teamspeak 3 i downloaded the TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64.run and it extracted and installed it all in my downloads folder. I am used to windows where it all should be in program files folder | 23:22 |
| handjob | Once again nobody knews shit. I fucking love ubuntu community. | 23:22 |
| jthing | Grizmawe, OK, it works now thanks | 23:23 |
| Grizmawe | ChrisC_, dont know. Thought it was the standard applet. | 23:23 |
| Grizmawe | jthing, no prob | 23:23 |
| mathew | the only tabs i got was the default one and accessibilties | 23:23 |
| mathew | i did a thing to see if was being detected and it wasnt | 23:23 |
| short | GeekSquid, could you help? I'd like to setup my DNS permanently but everytime I reboot it gets resetted | 23:23 |

| GeekSquid | george_: put that file in your home folder and run in a terminal sudo ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64.run ... you are running 64bit version right? | 23:24 |
| george_ | yes 64 bit | 23:24 |
| zakmc | handjob, your attitude's so big, nobody noticed your problem... | 23:24 |
| ChrisC_ | Grizmawe: Now that's interesting. That sound control tells me the mic is inactive. So that means that's why Skype is not working. Anyway of enabling the mic? Command line or other method. I have tried to turn up all the volumes on all the mixers installed. | 23:24 |
| DeathMetalDean | hi, does anyone know how to get flash on ubuntu 10.04 on 64bit? | 23:24 |
| ChrisC_ | <DeathMetalDean> I do. | 23:24 |
| mathew | anyone have any idea how to get my touchpad working again :\ | 23:25 |
| GeekSquid | short: you will need to edit /etc/resolv.conf to set your nameservers .... lookup resolv.conf in google for syntax | 23:25 |
| ChrisC_ | Just a sec. | 23:25 |
| SealedWithAKiss | DeathMetalDean, wget http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_en.sh | 23:25 |
| SealedWithAKiss | DeathMetalDean, sudo bash ./flash10_en.sh | 23:25 |
| short | GeekSquid, I edited /etc/resolv.conf and that's why I'm chatting to you now. However if I reboot the system, the values get overridden | 23:25 |
| con-man | hey | 23:25 |
| ChrisC_ | Put this in your repos... | 23:25 |

| chid | can I ask about compile issues here? | 23:26 |
| ukixx | hallo world | 23:26 |
| ChrisC_ | hmw: Like I say I have tried all the mixers. | 23:26 |

| chid | I'm just wondering if there are precomiled binaries for 9.10 | 23:27 |
| chid | I don't really want to downgrade to 9.04 and download packages again | 23:27 |
| GeekSquid | short: you'll also need to set a static IP in order for the resolv.conf to not be overwritten | 23:27 |
| hmw | george_: if you are annoyed by always typing the password, check out pam_usb | 23:27 |
| ukixx | i need to ask about ubuntu need to more green less power win 7 still win on the power time on net book | 23:27 |

| mathew | anyone have any idea how to get my touchpad working again? | 23:27 |
| short | GeekSquid, I have got a static ip, assigned by my router | 23:27 |
| ChrisC_ | You get the option of 64bit flash. | 23:27 |
| SealedWithAKiss | DeathMetalDean, the file should be in your home folder, make sure that your running the command from your home directory. | 23:28 |
| DeathMetalDean | SealedWithAKiss, it's alright, got it working lol | 23:28 |
| kyle__ | anybody try getting web USB web cams to work? in lynx? | 23:28 |

| GeekSquid | short: yes, assigned by router, also needs to be setup in /etc/network/interfaces | 23:28 |
| SealedWithAKiss | DeathMetalDean, does flash work now? | 23:28 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: If you have a spare blank CD you can use super grub2 disk to boot Ubuntu, if you use the "Detect any OS" option you can edit the menu entry to add "modeset=0" also. | 23:28 |
| ChrisC_ | Question! Does anyone else use Skype here under 64bit 10.04? | 23:28 |
| george_ | no it is not about typing the password i right clicked and move to home folder and it says error moving file permission is denied | 23:28 |
| DeathMetalDean | SealedWithAKiss, dunno yet, it's doing something in the terminal, will let that finish | 23:28 |

| short | GeekSquid, could you tell me how to set it up? | 23:29 |

| mathew | im no good with keyboard shortcuts | 23:29 |
| DeathMetalDean | SealedWithAKiss, no, it doesn't work :S | 23:29 |
| ChrisC_ | OK then who uses Skype successfully on 10.04 just say yay or nay. | 23:29 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I don't have a blank CD. Do you think that it's just better to re-install? | 23:29 |
| mathew | how you expect me to bloody go to them pages to search | 23:29 |
| platius | ChrisC_; Skype works just fine on my PC running 10.04 amd64 | 23:29 |
| acerimmer | chrisc: skype yes | 23:29 |
| roxdragon | how to entry in the console grub2 rescue mode? | 23:29 |
| mathew | i had enough trouble doin it earlier but i closed the window | 23:29 |
| kyle__ | @chrisC I can get camera and hear people but it doesn't detect my mic | 23:30 |
| roxdragon | what's the command? | 23:30 |
| george_ | sorry guys not following .. what is gksudo | 23:30 |
| beast | the problem is that the fps is outrageous speeds. I cant play it properly | 23:30 |
| Mandrew | mickster04 if you could have a look at this guide a say what you can make out of it it wold be really nice http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1649987/Linux%20user%20issue%2086/Linux%20user%20issue%2086%20how%20to%20tether%20your%20iphone.pdf | 23:30 |
| jonazdnb | semi win/linux Q: anybody knows if its possible to access my home networks samba shares via internet when away from home? (im on windows..) | 23:30 |
| SealedWithAKiss | DeathMetalDean, it's not working for me either. I have Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and I'm trying to get flash working as well. I wanted to see whether the fix that didn't work for me worked for you. | 23:30 |
| ChrisC_ | platius: Whats your secret. Did it work out of the box. Or did you have fiddle? | 23:30 |
| hmw | ChrisC_: can you put in another sound card? | 23:30 |
| acerimmer | @kyle_: check your sound output settings | 23:30 |
| ChrisC_ | NO Laptop. Samsung R20. | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | roxdragon: Could you please rephrase your question. It's not clear what you mean. | 23:30 |
| mickster04 | acerimmer: you dont need to put the @ sign there, it will notify and highlight with just the nick | 23:30 |
| kyle__ | I have messed with the pulse drivers. Had the same issue on my EEEpc running 9.04 and mint 8 and it worked but no dice on 10.04 | 23:31 |
| silvernode | beast, Hmm not sure about that one, anyone else think they can help beast out with his graphics? | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: I don't think it's worth re-installing, do you have a spare flash drive? | 23:31 |
| hmw | !tab | acerimmer | 23:31 |
| ubottu | acerimmer: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:31 |
| acerimmer | mickster04: TY. irc/chatzilla noob here | 23:31 |
| Grizmawe | jonazdnb, that would be quite a security risk. Better would be to set up vsftp to serve the files | 23:31 |
| con-man | once I establish a VPN connection to my work office, how can I get Ubuntu on to the corp domain? I've heard there is a way? | 23:31 |
| DeathMetalDean | SealedWithAKiss, ok, I'll ask my brother about it later, I think he updated too and has flash | 23:31 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I don't want to re-install because it's gonna take a least a couple of days to get my system back to it's original state. | 23:31 |
| platius | ChrisC_; I loaded the software from the skype site nad initially the mic volume was low. I had to run alsamixer and turn the mic boost on. | 23:31 |
| mickster04 | acerimmer: no probs | 23:31 |
| SealedWithAKiss | DeathMetalDean, well I'll keep looking too, good luck with getting it working. | 23:31 |
| iflema | george_ _ gksu nautilus...... careful now :) if you cant move it for some reason you are not the owner.... gksu/sudo will give you superuser power to do all..... but.... why do you not own it... you can take ownership.... | 23:31 |
| roxdragon | i need access a rescue mode of grub2... what's the command?^ | 23:32 |

| kyle__ | @platius I tried that too. had to unlock the channels and set them a bit apart. worked once and won't work anymore | 23:32 |
| ChrisC_ | platius: That's not working for me. I wonder if a bug fix will be available one day? | 23:32 |
| acerimmer | !grub2|roxdragon | 23:32 |
| ubottu | roxdragon: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Can you boot from it? | 23:32 |
| beast | silvernode, i am going to try another game to check it out | 23:32 |
| powr-toc | I'm using 32bit lucid, and flash works on most sites, except the bbc say I need a newer flash version :-\ any ideas?? | 23:33 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I don't think so no. | 23:33 |
| ChrisC_ | OR, HANG ON. Will windows skype work in Crossover 9? I have that on my hdd, not installed yet. | 23:33 |
| silvernode | beast, I'm going to ask the Arch Linux IRC. They seem to know more. | 23:33 |
| GeekSquid | short: looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/428589/ | 23:33 |
| Grizmawe | con-man, ubuntu recommends likewise - install likewise-open | 23:33 |
| ChrisC_ | Actually I doubt it as it's not picking up sound right across Ubuntu. | 23:33 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, isn't there anything that I can do by mounting the FS? Examining GRUB? I don't know, what do you think is wrong? | 23:33 |
| mickster04 | ChrisC_: worth a shot | 23:33 |
| Jordan_U | SealedWithAKiss: Try re-installing grub from the LiveCD with the guide I linked to earlier. | 23:33 |
| george_ | how do i take ownership i just installed it by using the sudo sh teamspeak3amd64.run and it installed it and gave it root privilages | 23:33 |
| kyle__ | so can anyone offer advice with the ps3 camera issue? i have a tuturiol i am following but i am stuck and don't know what to do | 23:33 |
| mickster04 | ChrisC_: but i think the microphone issues are with ubuntunot skype | 23:33 |
| short | GeekSquid, the gateway, is my router IP address or the gateway that the router uses to go to the internet? | 23:34 |
| ChrisC_ | Yes they are. | 23:34 |
| george_ | the problem is it didnt put it where i wanted it | 23:34 |
| SealedWithAKiss | Jordan_U, I think that it has to be something to do with me messing about with (and I think deleting) fglrx. | 23:34 |
| platius | ChrisC_; must be some hardware diffs. I have another 10.04 64bit and it worked out of the box on that pc | 23:34 |
| con-man | Grizmawe, ty | 23:34 |
| DeathMetalDean | SealedWithAKiss, my brother updated his ubuntu 10.4 with 64bit and apparently his flash never broke, dunno what's wrong lol | 23:34 |
| short | Geeksquid, also, once set, shall I restart any services? | 23:34 |

| Grizmawe | con-man, Ive always found joining a domain over VPN is always error prone even with windows. Best to take your machine to the corporate network for the initial join. After that should be able to log in OK over VPN but policy scripts wont always run if the link is slow. YMMV may work fine for you though, good luck | 23:37 |
| Jordan_U | roxdragon: What are you actually trying to accomplish? | 23:37 |
| hmw | powr-toc: i can play that in Karmic, so i would be surprised if your version was "outdated". You could try boot the live cd, install flash and check, if your system is compormised | 23:37 |

| yurimxpxman | I'm trying to play a Star Wars DVD in VLC but it crashes. Most other DVDs work. Any ideas why? | 23:40 |
| acerimmer | roxdragon: do you get the grub menu on boot? | 23:40 |
| Grizmawe | con-man, lack of ping is likely due to no DNS resolution for internal domain. Try using the IP address. You will need to get that working first. After that you could just use terminal server app to connect remotely to your work box or use nautilus to browse to the shares using IP addresses | 23:40 |
| hmw | DonaldShimoda: because you didnt install mplayer-gui probably. mplayer is a command line prog | 23:40 |
| george_ | how do i uninstall TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64 i installed it with sudo sh TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64.run and it doesnt let me have permission of the folder and it has a lock icon that wont allow me to do anything | 23:40 |
| DonaldShimoda | mmm... then was disabled on the upgrade | 23:40 |
| acerimmer | yurimxpxman: bcz Lucas is the devil - copy protection | 23:41 |
| GeekSquid | george_: try installing it without sudo | 23:41 |

| shazbotmcnasty | I have put an ISO onto a USB drive, the computer can't boot to USB, but I'm not IN MY HOUSE, so I don't have the ISO, just the extracted ISO on my USB drive, I need to put it on a CD drive( I assume I need to make it an ISO again) , I was wondering if this was possible, and if so. How? | 23:41 |
| hmw | DonaldShimoda: it might just be "hidden" - there is some bug - go to the menu editor and uncheck/recheck the entry, if you find it | 23:41 |
| mickster04 | george_: check the readme | 23:41 |
| Jordan_U | roxdragon: I need to know your actual end goal, if you don't understand please read this link: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal | 23:41 |
| DonaldShimoda | ok | 23:41 |

| mickster04 | george_: did it tab complete that for you? | 23:44 |
| Grizmawe | con-man, depends very much on how the VPN is set up. can be set up to simply bridge the networks, or also provide DNS resolution (amongst many things) | 23:44 |
| toyman61 | Ubuntu 10.04: Fresh installation. My DWA-140 USB Adapter gives me only 54 Mbps. I have hoped for 300 (well, 270) Mbps. Compiling the source gives me lots of errors. What do I do ? | 23:44 |

| jorozco | What's the best app / alternative to Brasero for burning .iso files? Everytime I try to burn a good copy of ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso, the actual CD itself fails the integrity check ad md5checksum | 23:44 |
| george_ | yes i installed by script | 23:44 |
| hmw | not_an_andy: hard to answer. binaries are usually in /sbin, /bin, /usr/sbin and more. Read the file hierarchy standard to learn more, how and why *nix is organized into so many folders. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ | 23:45 |
| Grizmawe | con-man, if you know the IP address of any machine or server in your corporate domain try pinging it. Otherwise you will likely have to wait until tomorrow and get the IP address. | 23:45 |
| Jordan_U | jorozco: Probably not a problem with brasero, try burning at a lower speed. | 23:45 |

| tony_ | Hello! | 23:46 |
| Hans_Henrik | im gonna try to use ndiswrapper to use a windows driver on linux, i read up on the documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper , it says " * Before you install any wireless driver with ndiswrapper or ndisgtk, make sure there are no other drivers trying to use your wireless card. If there are, your ubuntu may freeze. " problem is, there is a driver... | 23:46 |
| Hans_Henrik | ...for my network cards, but due to the bugs, the native drivers are basically useless (due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rtl8187se/+bug/416488 ), how can i disable the native rtl8187se pci driver? | 23:46 |
| jorozco | Thanks everyone. Will try your suggestions :) | 23:46 |
| GeekSquid | jorozco: did you check the md5sum on the ISO prior to burning? | 23:47 |
| SealedWithAKiss | How do I chroot into a mounted partition? | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | Hans_Henrik: What version of Ubuntu? I have that card and it's working fine in 10.04. | 23:47 |
| GeekSquid | !chroot | SealedWithAKiss | 23:47 |
| ubottu | SealedWithAKiss: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 23:47 |
| toyman61 | GeekSquid, : I got it to work with 270 Mbps on Ubuntu 9.04.... | 23:47 |
| george_ | on permissions tab it says owner : root group: root and it wont let me have permission to delete or move the folder | 23:47 |
| Ganymede | is there a way for me to take an ubuntu server and like...pretty much restart it...but maintain its uptime? like maybe go into single-user no-network recovery mode and then back into multi-user mode? | 23:47 |
| tony_ | PHP Help please! | 23:47 |
| Hans_Henrik | Jordan_U: 10.04, clean install from release cd | 23:47 |
| mickster04 | tony_: #php? | 23:47 |
| GeekSquid | toyman61: there may have been a regression in 10.04, happens sometimes, there may be a fix in the ppas on launchpad | 23:47 |
| iflema | george_ sudo chmod +x ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.0-beta20.run << do that to the file in a terminal then type ./TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64-3.0.0-beta20.run --help | 23:48 |

| Hans_Henrik | Jordan_U: sure its "rtl8187se"? | 23:48 |
| tony_ | Yep! I got it set up juuuust right, BUT, how exactly do I include a file from my Home folder? | 23:48 |
| acerimmer | tony_: irc://irc.phpfreaks.com/ | 23:48 |
| Ganymede | snakesqzns, i don't know which one is acting up... =/ | 23:48 |
| hmw | Ganymede: why is uptime relevant? perhaps going to single user mode might do the trick, but i am not sure, if that works with ubuntu, it doesnt really use system-v-init, only for compatibility. | 23:48 |
| Jordan_U | Hans_Henrik: Yes. | 23:48 |
| toyman61 | GeekSquid, I'm a newbie - ppas on launchpad ?? | 23:48 |
| tony_ | Oh. OK. | 23:48 |
| GeekSquid | jorozco: I'd burn it at the lowest speed possible to see if that will help | 23:48 |
| snakesqzns | Ganymede, how do you know your server is acting up | 23:48 |
| Ganymede | hmw, well...the uptime is for...pride | 23:48 |
| hmw | Ganymede: it might be more wise, to only restart, what is broken. this way you "earn" the uptime ;-) | 23:49 |
| jorozco | GeekSquid: Thanks. 10X is the lowest speed avail from the options. Will try this first. | 23:49 |
| acerimmer | Ganymede: Pride Goeth Before a Fall :) | 23:49 |
| Ganymede | snakesqzns, the machine is an LDAP client but i can't log into any LDAP user, i can only log into local users...but on other machines using the same LDAP server, i can log into LDAP users...so LDAP seems to be broken on this one | 23:49 |
| Ganymede | or kerberos | 23:50 |
| GeekSquid | toyman61: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas ... search for the name of the driver | 23:50 |
| toyman61 | GeekSquid, : Thanks. I'll try that.. :-) | 23:50 |
| Jordan_U | Hans_Henrik: The one problem I do have is that it sometimes doesn't recover after using the physical rfkill switch on the laptop. | 23:50 |
| Hans_Henrik | Jordan_U: do you have range for ~10 meters away? //i cant leave the room of the wlan card without connection loss, but in win xp drivers i can stay several walls away outside the house with great connection | 23:50 |
| GeekSquid | Ganymede: you may get more specific help in #openldap | 23:51 |
| Ganymede | GeekSquid, thanks, i didn't know about that | 23:51 |
| Xgates | does anyone know for usb drives being automouted if udisks and gvfs need to be running? | 23:51 |
| Grizmawe | Ganymede, you could try "telinit 1" to put you in single user mode and then "telinit 2" to get back to full interactive mode. Not needed to do this since redhat 6 days so cant be sure of the outcome but telinit is the command in debian and ubuntu to change run levels. | 23:51 |

| ubottu | 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 | 23:51 |
| iflema | george_ its best to use the software in the repositories.... very simple.... if you must use apps that are not in the repos youll need to know a little more about linux basics..... | 23:51 |
| Grizmawe | Ganymede, may be best to swallow pride and reboot :P what is your uptime - just curious..... :D | 23:51 |
| Jordan_U | Hans_Henrik: Yes, I can. | 23:52 |
| hmw | Hans_Henrik: Jordan_U: i heard, one can configure signal strenght for wifi cards. Some drivers seem not to do that automatically in *nix. Perhaps this info helps you with googleing the issue. If you find something, i'd be courious. | 23:52 |
| george_ | where can i lear about linux basics then because i am in it for the long haul | 23:52 |
| acerimmer | george_: "Linux For Dummies" book | 23:52 |
| acerimmer | george_: NOT a reflection on you | 23:52 |

| GeekSquid | george_: start here www.ubuntupocketguide.com | 23:52 |
| Ganymede | Grizmawe, well, 340 days...not a lot, but more than any other machine in that building | 23:52 |
| george_ | lol thanks guys | 23:53 |
| pardus | Sysinfo for 'vedat-pardus': Linux 2.6.31.13-131 running KDE Development Platform 4.4.3 (KDE 4.4.3), CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz at 2392 MHz (4784 bogomips), HD: 23/35GB, RAM: 484/490MB, 122 proc's, 1.32h up | 23:53 |
| mickster04 | george_: there is also an online manual, check omg!ubuntu! | 23:53 |
| coz_ | george_, there a many sites that talk about linux command line creating scripts etc etc all free | 23:53 |
| hmw | george_: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ and http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html might be a good start. http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html is a good read, as well. | 23:53 |
| Grizmawe | Ganymede, certainly not to be sniffed at - and would be nice to see out a full year :P | 23:53 |
| Spiky | hej | 23:54 |
| Narya | !controls > Narya | 23:54 |
| Grizmawe | Ganymede, what is the issue, why do you need to reboot? | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Narya, please see my private message | 23:54 |
| Ganymede | Grizmawe, okay, telinit sounds like what i want...but i'm afraid if i type in a wrong command and networking doesn't come back up or the shell dies and it stays in runlevel 1... | 23:54 |
| Spiky | jest ktoś z polski? | 23:54 |
| sweb | some one help me | 23:54 |
| Ganymede | Grizmawe, the machine is an LDAP client but i can't log into any LDAP user, i can only log into local users...but on other machines using the same LDAP server, i can log into LDAP users...so LDAP seems to be broken on this one | 23:54 |
| Spiky | what is wrong? | 23:54 |

| macman_ | hi all . . trying to change my flash/shockwave settings in firefox/ubuntu .. i changed schockwave to gnash or swfdec but the video won't load in firefox .. how can i fix this ? | 23:55 |
| sweb | i cannot download from sf | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | Spiky: no your package manager seems to be broken, also what's that about sourceforge? | 23:55 |
| Grizmawe | Ganymede, will certainly down the network link. If cant get it back to how you want you can then use "shutdown -r now" to reboot | 23:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | awesome, there is an !manual factoid :) | 23:55 |
| hmw | Ganymede: i dont know LDAP really. Perhaps restarting the network might help? /etc/init.d/networking restart (or network restart perhaps) | 23:55 |
| sebsebseb | no not you spiky. you sweb above ^ | 23:55 |
| neverblue | sweb: can you ping the IP ? | 23:56 |
| GeekSquid | sweb: sourceforge is not an official repository, and not officially supported here | 23:56 |
| dick-richardson | Just an FYI, transmissioncli does NOT use the same settings as the transmission GUI. Symlinking ~/.config/transmissioncli to ~/.config/transmission works, though. | 23:56 |
| sebsebseb | sweb: yes what GeekSquid typed | 23:56 |
| Spiky | quit | 23:56 |
| garrett_ | hello? | 23:56 |
| sweb | GeekSquid, so tell me the way to off that f**** package | 23:56 |
| macman_ | does linux/ubuntu have any other kind of shockwave / future splash player other then adobe ? | 23:56 |
| acerimmer | garrett_: state your problem | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | !language | sweb | 23:57 |
| ubottu | sweb: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:57 |
| sweb | GeekSquid, i want to remove it clearly | 23:57 |
| neverblue | sweb: which package ? | 23:57 |
| iflema | george_ maybe keep asking here for good user docs??????? | 23:57 |

| theGman | Ok, my movie play (totem I'm presuimg) will ply my dvds but my vlc says "Your input can't be opened:" and according to vlc's forum I need to change the device. Apparently /dev/sr0 NOR /media/cdrom work...What DO I need to set it to? I can't find the setting in movie player for a clue...? | 23:57 |
| sweb | ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 23:57 |
| macinnisrr | I'm trying to add a gpg key to a repository I've set up using reprepro, does anyone know how to do this? | 23:57 |
| sweb | it not worked with apt-get | 23:57 |
| neverblue | Sweb why are you using sf then ? | 23:57 |
| geirha | dick-richardson: It's better to use the daemon + remote/webui | 23:57 |
| Grizmawe | Ganymede, have you tried restarting nscd to clear the credentials cache? | 23:57 |
| jorozco | I still think I may be experiencing a bug with Brasero in 10.04 Desktop. Burning ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso which is 668.0MB in size. Brasero currently states it's writing 4xx MiB of 667MiB. Crossing my fingers though. I hope burning this at a the lowest speed works :) | 23:58 |
| GeekSquid | sweb: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the line with sourceforge in it ... then f**** Ctrl-O and Ctrl-x ... then sudo apt-get update | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | sweb: Which package? | 23:58 |
| peterkls | is fakeraid 0 alot faster than single hard drives? | 23:58 |
| george_ | i need a friend close to me who could help anyone live neer casper wy | 23:58 |
| sweb | i use 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' for install broken packages | 23:58 |
| dick-richardson | geirha: I'm scripting the downloads - I don't want to think about it. | 23:58 |
| sweb | this package : ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 23:58 |
| Ganymede | hmw, indeed...restarting networking DID solve the trick, thanks a lot, you save 340 days of uptime...although i can't understand why it fixes LDAP...but it did so that's good | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | george_: I don't, but what problem are you having? | 23:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | theGman, see if looking at "ls -l /dev/dvd" helps. Good luck. | 23:58 |
| garrett_ | can anyone help me? | 23:58 |
| Ganymede | Grizmawe, i had tried restarting nscd but not sure about the credentials cache, anyway, restarting networking was the magic bullet | 23:58 |
| sweb | how can i clearly remove `ttf-mscorefonts-installer` | 23:59 |
| acerimmer | garrett_: Just State the PROBLEM | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | garrett_ | 23:59 |
| sweb | ? | 23:59 |
| ubottu | garrett_: 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. :-) | 23:59 |
| george_ | no problem just trying to learn the basics | 23:59 |
| neverblue | Sweb: aptitude search ttf-mscorefonts-installer: p ttf-mscorefonts-installer - Installer for Microsoft TrueType core font | 23:59 |
| papo | hello. Does tracker not index file names or am I doing something wrong? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | george_: oh right well in that case | 23:59 |
| hmw | Ganymede: restart networking does trigger a lot of things. I am happy, that it worked. I hereby claim 2 months of your uptime for my own server *smirk* | 23:59 |
