[00:00] sebsebseb: fruitcake much ?!?!? LOL [00:00] yes liddell that should do the trick. What distro are you using? [00:00] 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] I have a problem with Flash on ubuntu, for example, i can not for some reason use chatroulette as the plugin crashes [00:00] hello [00:00] G-man: What do you mean fruitcake? [00:00] ChrisC_: Do you have the download site? [00:00] Kubuntu 10.04 [00:00] sebsebseb: Last time i checked, that word was pretty straight-forward, as well as self explanatory :D [00:01] sebsebseb: Need I say more.... ? [00:01] G-man: yeah, well I mainly did that since I wanted to use the factoid :D [00:01] For Ekiga? [00:01] hey fellas i have a question about something i changed in gconf-editor [00:01] 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] 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] 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] 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] I would prefer to use Skype. [00:01] sebsebseb: I think it was because of the fruitcake, in your blood :D [00:01] thebruce, ? [00:01] ChrisC_: It looks like it is in the Repositories. [00:02] Homely_Girl: I think I seen you before [00:02] Homely_Girl: you are welcome [00:02] Homely_Girl: by the way there's even a good manual for learning 10.04 [00:02] It is. That's where I'm getting it from. [00:02] Homely_Girl: free PDF download === pr0gr4mm3r1 is now known as awells527 [00:02] TommyThaGun, i changed something in metacity [00:02] 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] thebruce, what was it you changed? [00:02] sebsebseb: Do I seem like the kinda of woman with patience to read thru all the higher geek? :P [00:02] Homely_Girl: it's aimed at beginers [00:02] !manual | Homely_Girl [00:02] 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] /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [00:02] Nobody? [00:02] Homely_Girl, it's actually really easy for non-geeks to understand [00:03] i was moving the buttons back to the right side [00:03] sebsebseb: I know how to use sudo apt-get...so wot's the filename for the restricted files? [00:03] 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] thebruce: oh right [00:03] Homely_Girl: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:03] well, i made a typo and type minimum and not minimize [00:03] !controls | thebruce [00:03] 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] jjr under preferences->sound can you select the other output there? [00:03] I wish the manual included a screenshot without the crash report icon.. :( [00:04] TommyThaGun: yeah except it seems thebruce messed up when trying to do that [00:04] acicula, yes, and it works, but then at next startup it's again the other one who's selectd by default :/ [00:04] sebsebseb: *mwah* thanks bye for now ;) [00:04] su [00:04] how can I turn off auto scroll in here? I'm using Empathy for IRC. [00:04] so now, i have to right click 'unset key' and it goes back to default [00:04] duffydack: well tell them that in #ubuntu-manual or something [00:04] duffydack: a second version will be coming out in a month or so [00:04] thebruce, this thread talks about the proper way to change them: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469475 [00:04] but when i reboot it has the typo i put it [00:05] In Ekiga I can choose the sound in Skype I can't how do I change this? [00:05] benjamintheyon, I don't know if you can with Empathy, but you can with Pidgin [00:05] sebsebseb, well if its an ongoing project........just seemed unprofessional at the time..thats just me. [00:05] thebruce, if you do that that page says to fix it, then it should be okay. basically you will be creating a new theme [00:06] 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] jjr, ah, dunno about that [00:06] TommyThaGun, also i see in the settings i can change the number of workspaces. i changed it to 7 but nothing happend [00:06] What is the difference between x86-64 packages and amd64 packages? [00:06] gperaltascura, they are the same [00:06] hi [00:06] gperaltascura, intel processor is x86, AMD CPU = md64 [00:06] Ok, some unrelated question then: what's a dummy package? And why does it exists? [00:07] jjr, dummy?? no idea [00:07] gperaltascura, no difference - generally just different naming convensions for the same thing [00:07] jjr, dummy/metapackages exist to pull in other packages [00:07] ChrisC_: Sound works on everything else, like Sound Recorder, IM stuff, Ekiga? [00:07] gperaltascura, so long as your processor supports long mode it will run either binaries [00:07] 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] But what happens if there are two versions of the same .deb package with those names? [00:08] Yes [00:08] gperaltascura, the package manager will complain probably [00:08] gperaltascura, not seen that before - example... === b12core_ is now known as B12CORE [00:08] might be in compiz [00:08] Sorry, there are i386 and amd64 packages. [00:08] thebruce, yeah, I know you can control it in compiz properly [00:09] not x86-64. [00:09] !manual sudo [00:09] gperaltascura, those arent interchangeable, trying to install an i386 package should ussually result in a complaint from the packagemanager [00:09] hail [00:09] i cant mount my drive into samba [00:09] gperaltascura, when on an x86_64 system and vice versa [00:09] TommyThaGun, do you know where that option is compiz might be? [00:10] thebruce, not off the top of my head. I currently am not using compiz [00:10] So, if I have an Intel processor (doesn't matter if I'm w [00:10] !manual su [00:10] TommyThaGun, ahh ok are you using Gnome? [00:10] thebruce: #compiz [00:10] yes [00:10] can i get some help setting up hybrid crossfire [00:11] 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] thanks soreau [00:11] gperaltascura, unless you have <4GB ram the 64 bit arch is a good choice [00:11] lol? [00:11] ? [00:11] please see the big problem with samba : http://pastebin.com/YZ76YTMm [00:11] !ask [00:11] 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. :-) [00:12] 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] Can anybody tell me of a native linux alternative to Autodesk Inventor. === root is now known as Guest99724 [00:12] Ahhh, so amd64 .deb packages are not just for AMD 64 bits processors? [00:12] got it [00:12] thanks fellas [00:13] 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] now to test the issue with a login-logout [00:13] gperaltascura, amd64 = x86_64 [00:13] cordell, http://bit.ly/d41jUb this is a list of possible alternatives for you [00:13] gperaltascura, no - amd64 is just the naming convension used in linux circles for 64bit binaries [00:13] ZykoticK9, oh? I thought these are intel and amd, I thought they're different? [00:14] unsure, nope [00:14] oh ok [00:14] amd designed the intial 64bit stuff [00:14] no ones here to answer my question about samba [00:14] 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] intel adopted AMD's 64 bit extensions, so they are refered to as amd64 [00:14] !samba [00:14] 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] unsure, 32bit = x86 64bit = x86_64 OR AMD64 [00:14] even though intel calls them something like EMT64 [00:14] sweb1: just a sec lemme find it.. [00:14] 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] ZykoticK9, okay [00:14] Grizmawe: Ok, so 32 bits binaries=i386 and 64 bits binaries=amd64 [00:14] or i686 [00:15] thank, iDope [00:15] Guest: Do you get a grub menu [00:15] TommyThaGun, that theme method did not work [00:15] Too late now, sort this tomorrow. [00:15] gperaltascura, thats it [00:15] i386 is dead at this point, they will be i686 [00:15] my gconf is whacked out [00:15] Thank you guys. [00:15] anyway to 'reinstall' gconf settings [00:15] How can I fix this with no internet, and only the kernel source to work from. [00:15] ZykoticK9: Ubuntu 32-bit labels its ISOs i386 and installs an i686 kernel. Go figure. [00:15] You'll also see i386/i686 referred to just x86 for short [00:15] as long as its not followed by _64 of course [00:16] sweb1: what exactly are you trying to do. Can you explain in detail what you want accomplished? [00:16] ok nm Zyko beat me on that point [00:16] 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] rww, i'm guessing that is to lower confusion (or increase it) [00:16] #qgis [00:16] it's the default kernel for 10.04 (2.6.32) [00:16] ZykoticK9, i386 will be around for a while yet - legacy systems wont run if using strict i686 compiler flags [00:16] to show boot menu that is... instead of Escape... [00:17] iDope, i have a 1TB external hard drive that shared with samba, with guest access and writable option [00:17] Grim76__, you mean everything before a p5? [00:17] when i want open it tell me that i can not mount [00:17] ZykoticK9, many distros may well move to i686 by default - some have already but i386 is not dead [00:17] 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 :) [00:18] err meant Grizmawe [00:18] anyone got much experience in gconf? [00:18] Hi, just confirming: updating from 8.04 to 10.04, none of my personal files will be deleted during this process, correct? [00:18] ok so this drive is on a different server? And does it open correctly on other clients? [00:18] When I switch to tty1 and run 'DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace' the box stops responding. What gives? Can anyone else reproduce this in lucid? [00:19] B12CORE, correct [00:19] ?DCC SEND STARTKEYLOGGER 0 0 0 [00:19] Ok I am completely stumped. I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNewClamAVSpamAssassin to setup my email server. If I am logged in to the server I can get the email but when I use IMAP or POP3 from my windows box on a different network, it never shows me a new email. How can I get the email to sync with my inbox [00:19] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [00:19] iDope, maybe for firewall option ubuntu 10.04 have firewall for this options ? [00:19] ZykoticK9, may well be so for general purpose distros... dont know to be honest. Will ask my brother, he writes kernel code...... [00:19] Hello guys n gals, I'im having this really weird problem, after a power outage a few days ago i cant login to phpmyadmin im getting this error """#1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)""" any ideas on how to fix this ?. ||| Ubuntu 8.04LTS | MYSQL 5.0.51 ||| [00:19] what a good hypervsior for 3.0 ghz p4 with 3 gigs of ram two 500 gigs disk [00:20] dapimp: most clients have a setting that determines whether or not it deletes emails from the server when it retrieves a copy for the client [00:20] sweb1: I don't think so... [00:20] CogitoErgoSam: the email is still on the server though. It is not syncing up with thunderbird [00:20] mknarr, I cannot imagine that that was caused by the outage, more likely something that happend the same day. [00:20] dapimp53: Using SSL at all? [00:20] brb bio [00:21] no [00:21] is ubuntu indexed? [00:21] sweb1: try this.. open Nautilus and enter smb:/// [00:21] does it work like that? [00:21] so that you can quickly search for files? [00:21] mknarr try connecting to mysql through command line. Check if thats working [00:21] why on earth would someone want to exploit an open source community D: [00:22] gop1, virtualbox? my P4 3.2ghz never had VT stuff enabled.. [00:22] hey guys i cant get my ubuntu live cd to load. it boots and shows teh ubuntu logo (after i select install or try) then just puts my screen to sleep [00:22] anyone tried installing 10.04 on fake raid? [00:22] can't set a hotkey with wine, trying a basic command like beep works with hotkey but with wine it does nothing yet the command works on terminal [00:22] iDope, your mean is try to open with same machine ? [00:23] is there an alternative to gnome-app-install? I do not like the software center because only one package can be done at once. [00:23] Hi! I'm with some problems on mencoder. I have a script for psp video encoding that worked really okay on karmic. I update to Lucid, though, and all videos turned incompatible with PSP. [00:23] iDope, i do it [00:23] sweb1: and does it work? [00:23] Dougshell, would suggest either a bad burn of the CD or power management issues. What machine? also try disabling apic [00:23] mknarr: are you able to connect with mysql server via commandline. [00:23] how do i make a backup of my system that i can recover from the recover kernel in grub? [00:23] back [00:24] hey. Im coming from fedora and copied my old home into my new home. I changed the ownership of my files but still cant access them..any ideas? [00:24] iDope, yeah [00:24] does not work [00:24] awells527, synaptic is a good choice for GUI, its installed by default [00:24] still problem [00:24] :( [00:24] the mencoder output is on http://pastie.org/946035 [00:24] awells527: Synaptic for gui or the command line with apt-get or aptitude [00:24] well other verison of ubuntu work fine also burn is fine [00:24] so what new /old features of ubuntu make it more productive than it already is? [00:24] then there is a problem with your samba config.. can you pastebin that? [00:24] intel i5 ati 5850 4gb ram [00:24] awells527: If you use the command line you just type all of the package names separated by a space [00:25] awells527: ie apt-get install package1 package2 package3 ...etc [00:25] 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] thebruce, did you get it fixed? [00:25] awells527, if you want to use terminal I always recommend aptitude over apt-get. It tracks packages better [00:26] 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] iDope, in /etc/samab/smb.conf ? [00:26] hi irc is there any way to acces my harddrive from a live cd ? [00:26] iDope, here you are : http://pastebin.com/PvGuD2rA [00:26] sweb1: yeah... pastebin the contents [00:26] my upgrade boots to a black screen. i am using an nvdia 9800 gtx [00:26] sweb1: ok looking at them [00:27] "" and i get the error ""ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'root' [00:27] """ it dosnt even give me the chance to enter a pasword for the root acc [00:27] 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] that wont help as it never gives an error [00:27] thebruce, I can tell you that my value for button_layout at apps/metacity/general is "close,minimize,maximize:" [00:27] without the quotes [00:27] 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. [00:28] it is mounted but it says i dont own it so i cant access it :( [00:28] installing to ssd btw [00:28] but that shoudl nto make a difference [00:28] awells527, very true. Dont know of a GUI that has the best of both.... [00:28] solved it, seems that using ~ in the command after wine was not working, instead I used whole path [00:28] mknarr, specify a different db [00:28] one that exists by default [00:29] Anyone knows how to change manually the default output audio device in command linde? The command needed to do it? [00:29] i really want to get my dual boot going, but for somereason i just cant get thsi darn cd to instal [00:29] jjr, gconftool something probably [00:29] ZykoticK9: Okay,.. I'm sad on this... But it's life. PS: if helps, alog of a video encoding after Lucid - http://pastie.org/946035 [00:29] assuming its stored in gnome-settings [00:30] hello room [00:30] hello occupant [00:30] hi [00:30] ...ok maybe that doesn't work as well [00:31] when i right click the network icon and edit connections nothing comes up [00:31] im on lucid 64bit [00:31] the network icon is also a red circle with a line in the middle but i still have internet [00:31] 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] hey guys, are there any risks upgrading if I'm using an Nvidia driver chipset? [00:32] anyway to restore default gconf settings? === infogulch1 is now known as infogulch [00:32] tamran, there is always a risk [00:32] thebruce, is this about the button settings? [00:32] zyotick9 i think so [00:32] ZykoticK9, well yes and no [00:32] thebruce, did you see what I said a minute ago? [00:32] test34: any special issues with nvidia drivers [00:32] SamWeasley, good luck [00:32] no i left im sorry [00:32] TommyThaGun, what did you say [00:33] thebruce, I can tell you that my value for button_layout at apps/metacity/general is "close,minimize,maximize:" [00:33] zyotick9 had you tried it before? [00:33] something about plymouth not working with nvidia drivers [00:33] 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] Does anyone know of a way to see bootup messages with a Live USB? 10.04, preferably [00:33] changing the value is the problem TommyThaGun [00:33] thebruce, deleteing the .gconf folder in ~/ will restore all defaults :P [00:33] SamWeasley, handbrake - yes. but not for a psp or whatever device you are using. [00:33] digitalfiz, yea? [00:34] Can someone look at this thread and answer it? [00:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1460581 [00:34] thebruce, using the following should set default for the buttons key -- gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "close,minimize,maximize:" [00:34] I need someone that can help me recover from a mistake. I ran 'make modules_install' and it removed all of the kernel modules, and then failed. I need to restore them. PLEASE HELP. [00:34] thebruce, try just moving it first and see if thats what you want [00:34] acicula, it seems to be possible with alsamixer -c, but I don't get it [00:34] zyotick9 thanks a lot. I'll give a try. As we say in Brazil, "Perdido por um, perdido por mil" (lost by one, lost by many) [00:34] what is the samba init script in lucid [00:34] /etc/init.d/samba right? [00:34] or /etc/init.d/smb or /etc/init.d/smbd? [00:34] SamWeasley, that's a good saying actually [00:34] go have a look iDope [00:35] jjr, that tells alsamixer to use another card [00:35] jjr, not what you are looking for [00:35] this is what i get Could not change key value. Error message: [00:35] Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/metacity/general/button_layout' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path === artatama is now known as ururus [00:35] thebruce, ahh you need to set it to writable [00:35] jjr, what you need to set is the output card used by pulseaudio, ie the sound daemon [00:35] ZykoticK9, how do i set it to writable. im a bit of an ubuntu n00b. [00:35] Hmm pulseaudio [00:35] chmod? [00:35] hi guys === entropy is now known as Guest55821 [00:35] chmod +w [00:36] im not sure where this gconf file is located [00:36] Anyone else having issues with XvBA and the new Catalyst 10.4? [00:36] What about ubuntu without hal? [00:36] I'm new in ubuntu, well my question is how come everytime I changed for example genres in my music library in rhythmbox it goes back were it was before. It only happens when I turn my computer back on or restart it. [00:36] don't have it installed yet.. so was wanting a quickfire answer [00:36] what is it using now? [00:36] Can someone give me a hint why the new 10.04 release always fails with the provided nvidia-current hardware driver? [00:36] thebruce, .gconf/ [00:36] thebruce: The usual hierarchy to check is your home directory first for hidden files (usually has the user-specific settings for programs), then /etc/ [00:37] thebruce: So, like Tommy said, the first place to check would be ~/.gconf/ [00:37] CogitoErgoSam, with natilus?

[00:52] pacostacos, that message you are getting about Antivirus 2010 is a popup on a website - you can safely ignore it [00:52] it's like I have to make sure and ppush hard, but i've never had an issue on this notebook before [00:52] pacostacos, Norton is one of the worse antiviruses there are [00:52] and it's pretty amazing when i am amazed by anything because i think everything sucks ;) [00:52] i want it. [00:52] bye [00:52] yeah, virtual private server [00:52] 10.04 seems fun but it required more tweaks to get running on my two boxes than jaunty or karmic did [00:52] Scouris, ok thank you~ [00:52] i have a offshore server [00:52] pacostacos, it doesn't even detect as many viruses as free antiviruses, like AVG [00:52] i want NORTON. [00:52] it worked in every way, out of the box on my macbook pro [00:53] it detects more, AVG sucks. [00:53] Yea norton = bloated and lacks most of the protection that are free av's provide [00:53] pacostacos, then go buy it.

[01:05] <|rt|> ZykoticK9: just curious but how is that different than sudo su -...I was under the understanding that the - makes the environment be reset [01:05] damnyankee: After installing, look at /var/apt/cache/archive [01:05] damnyankee: why not run the same apt-get command? [01:06] i can write to my harddrve i just cant boot from it is weird idk y [01:06] PMantis, thanks. [01:06] damnyankee: Sorry, that might be /var/cache/apt/archive, instead. :) [01:06] Pookie_ because the other computer isnt conected to the net [01:06] |rt|, it's just not the supported method, things can probably break that way - i just know it's a big "no no" don't know specifically why [01:06] <|rt|> ZykoticK9: ok...reading the sudo and su man pages it looks like it's the same to me [01:07] :( damn this tv tuner. [01:07] <|rt|> ZykoticK9: sudo -i creates a login shell as does su - [01:07] it works with media center in windows :P [01:07] hello I am having some problems with 10.04. currently it says i am on the internet, but i cannot successfully access a site via firefox, or finish a dl of the repoes. ping -c5 google.com shows no packet loss [01:07] for some reason my *.pyc and __init__.py have python icons, but not any other .py file [01:07] FAJ what error do you get? [01:07] |rt|, you'd need to talk to someone more knowledgeable on the subject then me. But i'd still recommend against it ;) [01:07] does anyone else have this problem? [01:08] iDope: no error at all, that's whe weird part. [01:08] FAJ can you telnet to port 80 of google.com? [01:08] <|rt|> ZykoticK9: I guess it's easy to for the - at the end of su...which can be dangerous [01:08] FAJ: get a white page in firefox? but apt-get hast to say something [01:08] telnet google.com 80 [01:08] whats telnet? [01:09] HEAD / HTTP/1.0 [01:09] iDope: currently apt-get is working away...... realllllly slowly.... pookie_ idk what that means. [01:09] pacostacos: a magical program. [01:09] damnyankee: No idea if it would work, but maybe if you put the downloaded packages on a CD you could use it as a software source on the isolated computer via the Software Sources app === shadowmaster is now known as Kuchen [01:09] Hi to all. [01:09] Anybody know how to open ports ? [01:09] FAJ goto a command prompt and type telnet google.com 80 [01:09] FAJ: well pookie_ is telling you the uber geeky method of testing your internet connection :) [01:09] thats basicly what im trying to do. [01:09] Nirra: you do so on your router. You need to reference you router vendors manual. [01:10] how do i make a sony vaio pcg-7y2l start from the disk? [01:10] any body know how can i mount the /media/XXX path with samba [01:10] pookie_: says "connected to google.com [01:10] " [01:10] pookey at Ubuntu [01:10] damnyankee: Guessing it doesn't pick them up on the cd? [01:10] On routers are opened [01:10] FAJ do you have any plugins installed in firefox? [01:10] damnyankee, /var/cache/apt/archive hold all the downloaded DEBs i copy that folder to new systems. good luck. [01:10] pookie_: only 'ubuntu ff mods' [01:10] FAJ: type in "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" without the quotes [01:10] and press enter twice [01:11] thanks. Yeah. its this cheap belkin usb wifi device [01:11] pookie_ ? [01:11] hey all can i somehow get audio to work on skype> [01:11] damnyankee, this link can help you with your problem: http://bit.ly/9dXPvz [01:11] |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] I can hear/see the other person, they can see me. but my minc doesnt work [01:11] Klevi: make sure it works in gstreamer-properties first [01:11] On router are opened. but how in ubuntu to open ports?? [01:11] Klevi: you don't hear anything or the other person does not hear you speak? [01:11] iDope: "200 ok Content lenght 862...." [01:11] damnyankee, sorry it's /var/cache/apt/archives/ -- type on origional missing "s" [01:11] Nirra: you run services. you do not need to "open ports" [01:12] Nirra: for example apache will run on port 80. [01:12] idope: they cannot hear me just a highpitch whine [01:12] pookie_ [01:12] Yeah, I figured it out. thanks for you help guys. im gunna see if I can get it to work [01:12] ChogyDan, not sure what you mean [01:12] I need open 3334 for psybnc example [01:12] How ? [01:12] then its probably not ubuntu. Your internet connection is giving you trouble.. [01:12] Nirra configure psybnc to use port 3334 [01:12] Klevi: use the terminal to run it [01:12] <|rt|> PMantis: well sudo -i still uses the /etc/sudoers [01:12] 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] iDope: confirm this is also happning on sisters 10.04 install.... but this laptop is a 10.04 install working fine. [01:12] |rt|: Exactly. [01:12] pookie_ i do, but when i try said "Connection Refused" [01:13] iDope, its not my internet connection. I can guarentee that [01:13] <|rt|> PMantis: so sudo su - has the same security involved and prompts the user for their password === tien is now known as jove [01:13] Nirra: can you connect to it localy? i.e 127.0.0.1 3334 ? or the IP address it is bound to in the configuration. [01:13] <|rt|> PMantis: so I still don't see why one method would be frowned on [01:14] pookie_ nop because i connect from other computer [01:14] FAJ: so what error do you get when you do an apt-get update? [01:14] From net not locally [01:14] Nirra: I don't have experience with that application specifically but I'd find whatever config file it uses, see if it sets the port in it, and if it does, make the change there then restart the service [01:14] or is the slowness the only problem? [01:14] to me sudo can be a security problem. =/ === rohit is now known as Guest61405 [01:14] evolution can apparently read /var/mail , is it possible to do so from another machine on same network ? === budlust1 is now known as budlust [01:14] hello everybody [01:14] Okay. [01:14] Nirra: =/ [01:14] Thanks alot. [01:14] iDope: i purposely changed the repo to a different site (mirrors.us.kernel). currently running update through synaptic, so nothing, should i try to restart it in term? [01:14] :) [01:14] Nirra: TRY IT! ;p [01:14] hello folks, after upgraded Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04; firefox has crashed; removed it and reinstalled it; but it's unable to launch....your advice is appreciated [01:14] Hi all! I'm drawing a blank, how can I check which libraries an executable is linked to? [01:14] pookie_ what? [01:14] |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. [01:15] 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] connecting to it locally. [01:15] dkulchenko, ldd executable? [01:15] <|rt|> PMantis: that's not true [01:15] pookie_ but i`m not locally [01:15] jove: try running it on a command line, see what the error is [01:15] Is there an easy way to get a list of all installed packages that are *not* dependencies? (for re-installation) [01:15] Nirra: If you're just talking about changing the port that an app uses, that's something else [01:15] I connect from Internet from other computer. [01:15] <|rt|> PMantis: sudo su - still relies on each users password [01:15] frostschutz: thanks [01:15] hackel: of what? [01:15] Nirra: I understand that. [01:15] * pookie_ gives up [01:15] Process work [01:15] All [01:15] FAJ: nope.. if its just slow it could be your wireless drivers screwing up.. but thats farfetched (if you are even using wireless in the first place) [01:15] 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)." [01:15] But i cant connect from here. [01:15] <|rt|> PMantis: it may log differently than sudo -i though [01:15] ChogyDan: of anything. [01:15] Nirra: It sounds like the changes you need to make aren't on the linux computer, but the router its behind [01:16] Nirra: its very likely a firewall / router problems. [01:16] 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] hackel: I don't really understand what you mean by "not dependencies" [01:16] In Ubuntu 10.04 on a Macbook 5,1 (or others) is the heating issue still a problem? [01:16] And I think. [01:16] |rt|: What? I thought we were talking about sudo -i vs su - (to sudo or not to sudo) [01:16] Thanks alot. Bye ) [01:16] :) [01:16] ChogyDan, seems to create feedback immedaitely when using ALSA with default device picked (which is the only choice for input) [01:16] youre welcome [01:16] 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] |rt|, PMantis could you please move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:16] Nirra: Hold up a sec, pm me and i can probably help you [01:16] hackel: in theory, the default install is all pulled in by ubuntu-desktop [01:16] <|rt|> ZykoticK9: how is this offtopic? [01:16] 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. [01:17] Klevi: is that working feedback or nonworking feedback [01:17] |rt|, you are debating - this is NOT a support issue at this point [01:17] wicd isn't the problem.. I just remember intel 5300 wireless cards have issues on linux with Wireless-N capable routers. [01:17] |rt|: That... I have no comment on, then. I prefer sudo -i, since it's less typing. [01:17] cant tell yah for sure [01:17] 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] Ill use headphones and let you know ChogyDan [01:17] Hauppauge WinTV 1250 tv tuner, cam anybody help getting it to work? [01:17] 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] iDope: it's not a wireless n capable router [01:18] 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] i need someone who spek spanish [01:18] 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] !clone | hackel [01:18] 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] ZykoticK9: Just saw your msg... I'm done anyhow. [01:18] then its not that issue... what speed are you getting on your synaptic activity? [01:18] 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 [01:19] 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] hi [01:19] LJ_Scott, try "mplayer -vo xv $file" other vo option include gl, x11, gl2 -- see "mplayer vo help" for full list. [01:19] hackel: I believe those commands will save what was auto installed, etc [01:19] =/ [01:19] 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] FAJ: I really don't think wicd can be the culprit here.. [01:19] question , i just added a previuously executed program as a service . It is failing while writing a file now [01:19] thanks ZykoticK9 , will give that a try. [01:19] EzeQL: did you run it as root? [01:20] previously yes [01:20] now i have no idea :) [01:20] how can i check that? [01:20] try running it again the same way [01:20] 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] ChogyDan, yes its working [01:20] if it fails, chances are its a permission related problem. [01:20] The encryption is tkip and aes [01:21] So i should just need to tell skype to use ALSA for input andf be fine then right ChogyDan [01:21] pookie_ failed again [01:21] iDope: one is an rt2870... the other one i think i used ndiswrapper on last time... [01:21] manually executed works [01:21] service doesnt work [01:21] 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] EzeQL: you need root privledges. [01:21] how can i change the .. rights for such service? [01:21] Klevi: I kinda forget, but I think you have to have gstreamer-props set correctly, and then have skype setup the same [01:21] add gksudo to the beginning of the command, or setup sudo to allow that program to execute as root. [01:22] yeah ( ChogyDan ) Skype only sees PulseAudio [01:22] 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] hey guys i downloaded highgrow 4.20 program its installed but dosnt open ? any ideas.... im using wine [01:22] FAJ: I'm afraid you have me stumped.. can't really pinpoint anything right now.. [01:22] Klevi: can you get gstreamer-properties to work with pulseaudio? [01:22] billy2007: its probably not compatible out of the box. You will need to copy some dll's [01:22] iDope: .... any thoughts? ima try to upgrade wicd.... [01:23] hey guys, I can not move my menus around [01:23] .... possibly.. will try ChogyDan [01:23] billy2007, try asking in #winehq i think is the channel, noticed it didn't have an entry on winedb - good luck man. [01:23] billy2007: sorry I can't help more than that. It's a pain in the 4$$ [01:23] Thanks ZykoticK9, got it working on gl2. [01:23] thanks POC|Farmer [01:23] Anyone see this error on 8.10 server upgrade? http://pastebin.com/4WidyZcN [01:23] thanks pookey_ [01:23] hey guys is there an app i can use to format my usb thumb drive to boot into dos? [01:23] wow this gconf issue is killing me [01:23] LJ_Scott, if you usually use a GUI just change the vo to gl2 then :) [01:23] moegreen: Windows. :p [01:23] 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] PMantis: did you do it with sudo? [01:23] pookie_, ZykoticK9 cheers guys ill see if i can sort it [01:23] see ya [01:24] i dont want to use windows :) [01:24] 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] ChogyDan: No, i'm logged in as root [01:24] iDope: mirrors.kernel.org is working fine through packages.ubuntu.com on this laptop [01:24] 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] ChogyDan, it does seem to work with my mic on pulse audio as well as alsa in gstreamer-properties [01:24] moegreen: you could maybe create a FreeDOS disk? Other than that Windows is the only option. [01:24] yet when I mount /media/Messenger it seems to work fine [01:24] ChogyDan: Note the prompt "#". :) [01:24] no matter what i do to the .gconf or .gconfd folders i cannot write to /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [01:24] 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] or wireless drivers for that matter [01:24] i deleted them, chmodded [01:25] Klevi: then I would leave it set as pulseaudio. Try the test call with your current setup [01:25] iDope: how would i do that? [01:25] 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] 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] the only way to get my buttons back to normal is to right click them in gconf-editor and select 'unset key' [01:25] for example scp something from your laptop (im assuming its a laptop) to your sister's laptop [01:25] how do I install a .bin file? [01:25] lugaru to be xact [01:25] if you have ssh installed on both [01:25] !bin [01:25] EzeQL: no problem, whatever [01:25] djbeenie_, to start "metacity --replace" in a terminal for from alt+f2 [01:25] or just share a file with samba and try copying it over at the other laptop [01:25] codygman, mhm, maybe you need wine for that [01:25] it says it is for linux unsure [01:25] ChogyDan, skype doesnt hear me [01:26] iDope: recognizing the other computers i doubt will work as of now [01:26] if you get dismal speeds then its a wicd/wireless issue. Otherwise its just something wrong with your internet connection [01:26] codygman, what is it? [01:26] Lugaru [01:26] .bin files are not executable if im not mistaken. Typically they have a third party tool that will say flash a firmware. [01:26] the game [01:26] ZykoticK9, that did it, why did that happen? [01:26] but if it is an executable [01:26] FAJ: by that you mean? [01:26] you could try chmod +x file.bin;./file.bin [01:26] 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] 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] 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] codygman, bin should be an executable -- chmod +x $filename.bin -- then ./$filename.bin [01:26] jove: don't install firefox like that. [01:26] iDope: as in my internet is running so slow, idk if i will be able to even share... [01:27] jove: it is not recommended. [01:27] pookie, how do you do ? [01:27] ok cool, I was doing ./$filename.bin, but I overlooked changing the permissions. [01:27] ChogyDan, Skype only sees pulseaudio as a selectable input/output source.. [01:27] good. [01:27] djbeenie_, no idea, it has something to do with your graphics card drivers [01:27] how can i fix the notification bubbles from being 1/4 of the way down my screen instead of below the panel [01:27] it won't have anything to do with internet... but you would need to have either samba or ssh installed [01:27] #ubuntu-br [01:27] * Klevi has the same question as trevor [01:27] pookie? any suggestion ? [01:27] codygman: again, .bin is more likely to be a firmware, or BIOS upgrade. [01:27] 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] because it would probably take ages to install them with your slow internet [01:28] 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] EzeQL: im always inspiring by my mere presence [01:28] i guess ssh can still be done its less than 1 MB [01:28] trevor, i've seen patches to try and fix that - but the best thing would be to ignore it. Good luck man. [01:28] trevor: I'll dig around since I'm not sure offhand, but there might be something for that in gconf-editor [01:28] jove: hit alt h2 and run gksudo apt-get install firefox [01:28] yes pookie_, I remember reflashing my router with .bin's and such. [01:28] Anyone have a good way of integrating compiz and fullscreen virtualbox without taking the keyboard focus off the virtualbox [01:28] POC|Farmer , wrong times pressed tab :) [01:28] Klevi: try to configure your sound through the sound icon, maybe there is something misset there [01:28] 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] :D [01:28] so like I can still do ctrl Alt arrow [01:28] thats karma [01:29] codygman: if you do file file.bin [01:29] 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] it should tell you what it is... [01:29] ChogyDan: it can be. [01:29] oops, codygman ^ what I said [01:29] iDope: on another note, my sisters computer says that it cannot lock directory for update... i have absolutely NO updating occuring, help? [01:29] pookie, not working [01:30] ChogyDan, everything looks good there.. Reinstall Skype? [01:30] FAJ: Do you have any instnces of Synaptic running? [01:30] 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] jove: goto Application, Ubuntu Software and search for firefox [01:30] cmpsalvestrini: not that i saw at all. [01:30] FAJ: Update Manager is probably running. Or synaptic is running.. (even if there is no update running synaptic acquires the lock) [01:30] FAJ: Or any other apt-get or aptitude processes running in a console [01:30] Guest31920, try to reset your router? [01:30] anyone help me with mod_pywebsocket? [01:30] jove almost everything you need will already be included in ubuntu. [01:30] CogitoErgoSam: iDope not that i saw... how can i ensure these are off? [01:30] joel_: I dont think this is the place to ask. [01:31] in the terminal ps aux | grep synaptic and ps aux | grep apt [01:31] joel_: just ask your question, though if it's apache specific you should try their channel [01:31] both should show nothing [01:31] FAJ: idope beat me to it [01:31] pookie_ lol i thought i was in #apache [01:31] joel_: :> [01:31] Klevi yes [01:31] joel_, happens allot.. [01:31] joel_: you mean #httpd I hope [01:31] FAJ: Try restarting your box, that should reser all updates [01:31] 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] *reset [01:31] Klevi all my other computers can connect but there wiindows also my phone can aswell [01:31] Guest22032, try restarting your computer, i assume as well? [01:32] cmpsalvestrini: thats SO windoze like :P [01:32] Klevi: what device is selected in gstreamer-properties? [01:32] but cmpsalvestrini has a point.. its the most common solution to so many problems :) [01:32] ZykoticK9: I was trying to short cut it :> [01:32] ZykoticK9: thanks :> [01:32] Guest22032, disable your phones wifi and try again with your laptop. Sometimes they interfere [01:33] iDope: ah killed synaptic, nw updateing [01:33] 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] i watched avatar again last night and those are some rally big smurfs [01:33] iDope: however still having majoooor problems on the rt2870 wireless [01:33] FAJ: Sounds like that isn't your prob though. Glad its working now. [01:33] !ot > hiexpo [01:33] hiexpo, please see my private message [01:34] FAJ: hmmm where was I on that... need to run some sort of local bandwidth tests... [01:34] 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 === baddog_ is now known as baddog [01:34] Klevi: I have the same problem as you actually, and I JUST FIXED IT :p [01:34] iDope: yah. and i can't get internet open.... [01:34] ZykoticK9: gksudo gnome-terminal -c apt-get install firefox [01:34] :> [01:34] err [01:34] -e [01:34] rofl how did you ChogyDan [01:34] anyway [01:34] 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] pookie_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:34] 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] CogitoErgoSam: now we just have to see if it will update..... [01:34] 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] bazhang, - i know :) [01:34] 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] pookey, nice :) yup with -e it would work! [01:34] anyone? [01:35] iDope: I know, but it does work sometimes [01:35] Klevi, yes I have [01:35] I'm becoming very frustrated with ubuntu =/ [01:35] where in the file tree are iso mounted by gnome? [01:35] cmpsalvestrini: agreed.. totally [01:35] pookie_, see above [01:35] enriq, somewhere in nautilus? [01:35] IdleOne, - how it goes there? [01:35] does anything ever work out of the box? Other than the basic desktop. [01:35] Guest22032, A bit beyond me sadly, without being there myself to t/s it. [01:35] enriq: Most external media gets mounted in /media/ [01:35] 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] ZykoticK9: see what sorry? [01:36] hiexpo: heya [01:36] ok... [01:36] 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] iDope: yes i do, but currently ports not enabled for ssh.... [01:36] wait... [01:36] maybe it is. [01:36] ZykoticK9: this is connected to my TV...its hard to read. [01:36] pookie_: yeah, that's a problem. It just takes so much darn testing to get everything right [01:36] 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] iDope, netcat [01:36] Guest31920, does your wireless router have MAC security activated? Where it allows/denies access based on your MAC address? [01:36] iDope, http://deice.daug.net/netcat_speed.html [01:36] CogitoErgoSam: samba isn't enabled by default? [01:37] ChogyDan, i have only one input avail [01:37] ChogyDan: Microsoft VPN connections haven't worked since version 8.....I have battled the same problem every install. [01:37] FAJ: I honestly don't remember if I had to install it, its been a while [01:37] it is selected already ( ChogyDan ) [01:37] Scouris nope when I dual boot on this rig I connect fine to my network on vista [01:37] failed grub2 install after uprading from version 9 [01:37] CogitoErgoSam: i don't think the repoes are working here... === baddog is now known as Guest72533 [01:38] FAJ: Can you follow this: http://deice.daug.net/netcat_speed.html? [01:38] Klevi: really? I have 2, one for my mobo, one for my webcam [01:38] iDope: that's a lot.... a little over my head? [01:38] ChogyDan, its NBR im on, running 10.4 [01:38] 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] Klevi: are you getting readings on Input Level? [01:38] ChogyDan, nope [01:38] pookie_: is there a bug report? [01:39] 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] ChogyDan: 6 million of them? [01:39] Klevi: then I don't know. Might be a bug [01:39] 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] ChogyDan: Cisco VPN also doesn't work. [01:39] FAJ: hmmm thought so.. its outdated as far as the commandline options go too [01:39] requires tuning kernel paramters...using applications other than the network-manager [01:39] VPN = EPIC fail in ubuntu. [01:39] what is epic?? [01:39] ChogyDan, will reinstall skype anyway and see if itll let me choose a default sound driver other than Pulse [01:40] pookie_ I dont know how to fix this :( , i've added the service with this line service resman start [01:40] Klevi wait [01:40] <_Ba_> how do I install flash player for ubuntu 64 lucid ? [01:40] Klevi: you probably have to get it working in the sound prefs though [01:40] iDope: my repoes aren't establishing here...... somethings seriously up with the wifi... [01:40] EzeQL: gksudo gnome-terminal -e service resman start [01:40] 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] ChogyDan, Probably. Unsure, what is it? [01:40] _Ba_: install flashplugin-installer [01:40] Klevi, skype, edit, preferences, (aka tools options) audio section, the available ones should be listed there [01:40] why gksudo instead sudo [01:40] well its either your wifi or your internet connection... we just need to find out which one it is. [01:41] 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] i am working on a console based Ubuntu [01:41] iDope: ssh is installed already. tried to install something.... didn't work. [01:41] _Ba_: goto the software center under applications. (if you are running version 10 it should be very obvious in the menu) [01:41] "something seriously wicked happened resolving..." [01:41] anybody else finding grub2 really slow on ubuntu 10.04? [01:41] 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 [01:42] phoenix_srv, no, your specs? [01:42] so ya, as usual..nobody helps with my problem :p [01:42] pookie_, what is your issue again? [01:42] 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] FAJ: then try this from your desktop "scp /boot/initrd.img* @:/tmp " [01:42] pookie_, tv tuner? its model / specs? [01:42] unsure: Hauppauge 1250 tv tuner, drivers loaded. /dev/dvb/adapter0 exists. [01:43] 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] Klevi: another option is to just use gtalk from google [01:43] it should ask you for your laptop username's password. And then it will transfer the file.. and show the speed tooo [01:43] thats as far as I get. [01:43] pookey, - :) [01:43] unsure: 4GB DDR2-800, 2.2Ghz pentium dual core, 512MB 4500 series GPU [01:43] I would check if the TV card is support prior to using it in linux [01:43] it's not a terribly slow/old system [01:43] and grub from ubuntu 9.10 was fine [01:43] oops [01:43] ChogyDan, Id rather not switch from skype... as thats my phone service other than my cellphone [01:43] if its anything slower than 800 KB/s.. then its definitely your wifi which is causing the problem [01:43] no channels can be found on the device... [01:43] iDope, scp requires ssh which was unavailable as i recall [01:43] 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] pookie_, - :) [01:43] no singal via mythtv [01:43] hiexpo: :> [01:44] hi. since i upped to lucid, X does not register mouse clicks any more :( [01:44] Sylphid: well FAJ claims its there.. [01:44] iDope: connection refused.... but i dont think i am set up for ssh to laptop [01:44] i can run xev switch to the window with keyboard, nada [01:44] Klevi skype works nicely in xubuntu with a standard headset (non-usb) [01:44] hmmm FAJ then you don't have sshd (the server) installed [01:44] tried unplugging mouse, replugging, tried the trackpoint in the laptop, nada [01:44] 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] Intel 4500MHD chip [01:44] btw the desktop also has internet right? [01:44] iDope, is the concern upload or download [01:44] iDope: install ssh now [01:45] unsure: I've tried EVERYTHING. even stuff that makes absolutely no sense. lol [01:45] johnny_buffalo, am using NBR... everything is built into this laptop [01:45] iDope: well yes,,,,, it says it has internet... but i cannot get onto internet, or update packages [01:45] iDope: same thing, even after ssh installed, no route to host. [01:45] 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] Sylphid: his internet is painfully slow for some odd reason.. and he thinks its related to ubuntu 10.04 [01:45] pookie_, rebooting doesnt help either? [01:45] FAJ sounds like an MTU problem. [01:46] cal your ISP ? [01:46] unsure: no. [01:46] pookie_: sound greek to me ;) [01:46] FAJ, what type of service do you have? [01:46] Sylphid: using wifi...? [01:46] 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] FAJ far from. :) But you can imagine i am. [01:47] FAJ, is it DSL ... cable... fiber [01:47] pookie_: he meant he doesn't have the faintest idea what MTU means.. [01:47] 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] Sylphid: cable.... right now over wifi however. [01:47] Sylphid: connected via one computer on 10.04 [01:47] I made some changes to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. How do I reload it? [01:47] 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] Guest31920, - wpa supplicant [01:47] FAJ: but your desktop is connected via wired cable right? [01:48] FAJ, not likely an MTU issue then as they usually only occur on PPP connections [01:48] iDope: no [01:48] 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] FAJ: that has a wifi card too? [01:48] Guest31920, System - Administration - Log file viewer might help you [01:48] ya [01:48] it its cable, chances are its not that. [01:48] iDope: yes, usb wifi rt2870 driver. [01:48] How do I start a script detached? [01:48] FAJ, could be dns.... try the following "time nslookup google.com" [01:48] johnny_buffalo, i saw your PM [01:48] opps [01:49] FAJ, do sudo route | grep default [01:49] Sylphid: nslookup not installed === Kuchen is now known as shadowmaster [01:49] I made some changes to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf. Do I have to reboot to active the changes? [01:49] odd [01:49] err [01:49] you don't need to be root. [01:49] route |grep default should do it. [01:50] FAJ: erk, seems like there's something fubar'd [01:50] pookie_: this post seems to have got your card working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1234274 [01:50] pookie_: default: 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 [01:50] UGGGHHH SON === chookie is now known as dankus [01:50] FAJ do traceroute google.com [01:50] FAJ, try "mtr google.com" and let me know what the largest jump is [01:50] is the first hop 192.168.1.1 ? [01:50] pookie_: not installed [01:50] WHich package contains the -lpg postgresql libraries? [01:51] hey guys, why when you release the ppc64/ps3 versions of ubuntu.....why still use kboot when its been a known bug since 9.10 [01:51] FAJ, under the avg column [01:51] FAJ: nslookup and traceroute are there by default in almost ALL ubuntu distros [01:51] Sylphid: its still workingggg....... [01:51] No duh wpa supplicant you wanna elaborate? [01:52] FAJ, it will keep going till you tell it to stop [01:52] IdleOne: I tried. it doesn't compile. and after extensive reading.... [01:52] FAJ, ctrl+c will stop it [01:52] it is not required... [01:52] my upgrade boots to a black screen. nvidia 9800 gtx. any takers?? [01:52] FAJ, but what is the largest before you do [01:52] Sylphid: it said no such file or directory. [01:52] ;/ [01:52] 2.6.32 kernel includes the driver for the hardware IdleOne [01:53] dmesg indicates it has loaded without error [01:53] to all helping; currently i have two wifi cards in computer;;;; only one is showing up, the rt2870 is the one i want to use/ showing up [01:53] ./dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 exists. [01:53] jimerickson: what sort of black screen? [01:53] and where does it get too before that? [01:54] IdleOne: actually, if you read the rest of that post...someone makes note of that. [01:54] 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] IdleOne: the drivers/firmware are in place. the /dev entries exist. But i get absolutely nothing when i do a channel scan, either via mythtv or using the command line dvb tools. [01:54] Sylphid: same thing for http://www.google.com [01:55] 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 [01:55] damn son, no more support for the ps3 port? [01:55] Guest31920: a number of people have attempted to help you with that justb efore [01:55] Guest31920: done spam [01:55] dont* [01:55] when i try to log into a text console i am presnted with black screen with white dots.

Your internetz are going down :> [01:56] Sylphid: reooting now. sorry. interesting b/c update goes fine on laptop (also 10.04) [01:56] why is it that when logging in, when you input the correct password it immediately continues the login process, but when you input the wrong password it sits there thinking about it for several seconds before complaining about the bad password? If it can recognize a correct password immediately, why can't it recognize a bad password equally as quickly? [01:56] ./kick Guest31920 [01:57] AbuMaia: may be to prevent "brute force" attacks [01:57] AbuMaia: its to prevent bruteforcing. to delay the login attempts. [01:57] ? [01:57] guest31920: your card probably does not support wpa2, try installing an ndiswrapper driver for it [01:57] Cmp [01:57] Guest31920, - relax if someone can help they will ok [01:57] It does vista let's me connect [01:57] AbuMaia: it also prevents timing attacks [01:57] 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? ;-) [01:58] Guest31920: probably the linux driver for your card does not support wpa2, try using ndis2wrapper === andrew- is now known as Andrew12 [01:58] Guest31920, - this is not windows vista don't compare [01:59] phonenix_srv, pookie_, ChogyDan: thanks, I never thought of those possibilites. [01:59] onetinsoldier: I'm not too familiar with fwbuilder, but ubuntu comes with a firewall app already called ufw for "uncomplicated firewall". There's also a simple gui front-end available called gufw [01:59] hi [01:59] !hi [01:59] 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! [01:59] does anyone have any knowledge with swapping cd drives and it doesn't work after? [01:59] Hiexpo obviously I'm proving my card supports wpa2 [01:59] how to install my video card [01:59] CogitoErgoSam: roger. i might go ahead and use that for now. but fwbuilder is awesome :) [01:59] nvidia 256 vga [01:59] agp rather [01:59] Guest31920, - in vista [02:00] linux1 [02:00] thanks to some helpful people in here, i have lucid lynx now installed! next battle, how do i "fix" the maximize/minimize/close buttons location? [02:00] Hiexpo the chipset does not change [02:00] If anyone knows a good ufw tutorial, I'd love to save a copy [02:00] could help onetinsoldier if he tries ufw too [02:00] Streetboys, go to System - Administration - Hardrive Drivers [02:00] !controls > linuxgecko [02:00] linuxgecko, please see my private message [02:00] Sylphid: any ideas?

[02:02] Ok I am completely stumped. I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixAmavisNewClamAVSpamAssassin to setup my email server. If I am logged in to the server I can get the email but when I use IMAP or POP3 from my windows box on a different network, it never shows me a new email. How can I get the email to sync with my inbox [02:02] Guest31920: therefore, the linux driver for your card does not have wpa support yet. [02:02] Guest31920, - if u put your card and version and chipset people might like myself know more about why it is not working in linux [02:03] i forgot my administrative password what should i do [02:03] !password | Streetboys [02:03] Streetboys: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [02:03] martianixor, check what you have starting on startup [02:03] Streetboys: you can change the password by booting into single usermode. [02:04] what is single user mode how do i go there [02:04] Streetboys: please read the first link ubottu gave you [02:04] Streetboys: google will help you. [02:04] thanks anyway guys [02:04] U-b-u-n-t-u: anything specific to look for? [02:04] U-b-u-n-t-u: and thanks for the reply by the way :-) [02:04] Whenever I attempt to install a new package I receive this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xn9gfKH0 - Does anybody know what's up? [02:05] I had the same issue and it was a laptop app and it was on my desktop [02:05] Cmp I have connected before, just in a different usb port and different bios version and wrtusb54g linksys I think its made by ralink [02:05] martianixor, it ran 1 core up to 100% [02:05] can anyone tell me how to install packages via cd??? [02:05] martianixor, I am supposing there might be something using it on startup that shouldnt be [02:06] how do i go to single user mode [02:06] U-b-u-n-t-u: well, it kept switching between the cores 100% each for some period of time then somehow stop, I remember reading that it was an issue with the number of files within a certain directory [02:06] Streetboys: why are you ignoring what I tell you? [02:06] wrt items are all by linksys [02:06] anybody using SoX - Sound eXchange ? [02:07] Hiexpo I know I'm talking about the manafactuer not the brand name [02:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: So I simply moved the rubbish from the Desktop to a subdir, gvfsd-metadata started to behave and be nice to the cores [02:07] FAJ, is this a new install or upgrade? [02:07] martianixor, I am not sure about that but I had the same issue however it was another app using it on start up and I couldnt kill it so I had to install boot manager and kill the apps until I found it [02:07] Wireless bridge question... does the card have to be in either Ad-Hoc or Master mode fore the bridge to work ? [02:07] is there any known issue with Ubuntu 9.x and missing/dropped keystrokes? [02:07] Sylphid: well i installed wicd,,, ,but now it's broken, so trying to reinstall network-manager via disc. [02:07] martianixor, aha then my advice might be useless =/ [02:07] U-b-u-n-t-u: but still whenever I try to move something files around CPU usage rises [02:07] Whenever I attempt to install a new package I receive this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xn9gfKH0 - Does anybody know what's up?

[02:08] 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] If I logout, I get a black screen. Anyone know how to fix? [02:09] Guest31920, - wrtusb54g is made by linksys now wrtusb54g what ver. # the chipset set is ? [02:09] neverblue, i just want my ubuntu machine to check on this PPA...

[02:09] 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] martianixor, sounds like we had different issues sorry I couldnt help... [02:09] yes, when booting [02:09] U-b-u-n-t-u: actually I'll check startup as well ... [02:09] ok [02:09] no when logging out [02:09] U-b-u-n-t-u: No on the contrary thanks for replying :-) [02:09] have to ssh in and sudo reboot [02:09] martianixor, I used boot manager so I could kill them at the time I removed them so I could watch the cpu [02:10] which tool do you recommend nagios or wireshark [02:10] martianixor, I wish you luck [02:10] andres_: they both serve very different purposes. depends on what you are trying to do. [02:10] 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] hmm, im bored. are there any apps that i should download for linux? [02:11] 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] ubuntu* [02:11] SealedWithAKiss: do you want fglrx installed? [02:11] ok thanksss [02:11] problem solve [02:11] gizmobay: you'd probably have to restart gdm for it to take effect, which would restart your session [02:11] ChogyDan, nopeee the Vidalia bundle. [02:11] hey yall [02:11] 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] my s video on tv is black and white how do I change it to color? [02:11] fausto, use an ethernet [02:11] hey folks, do you know if anyone else is experiencing soft lockups after an upgrade to lucid? [02:11] i got a question, any linux expert here? [02:11] Sylphid: when i try and update it always stays stuck on 'waiting of headers' [02:11] 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] what should I add? [02:11] SealedWithAKiss: vidalia? I dunno, but you may get it working by removing fglrx.prerm [02:11] 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] FoxWolf: I don't have ethernet [02:12] i got a question, any linux expert here? [02:12] try also removing and reinstalling xorg-driver-fglrx [02:12] !ask | ridz16 [02:12] 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] fausto, you should get one they are really cheap [02:12] SealedWithAKiss: try also removing and reinstalling xorg-driver-fglrx [02:12] also [02:12] ghost_, we need to know what wireless card and the model and version of it [02:12] andres_: then wireshark should be used. [02:12] 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] FAJ, im trying to find a reference but i dont believe installing wicd removes network manager [02:12] 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] 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] andres_: nagios will not analyze the payload of the packets. [02:12] fausto, if you have a router you have internet, just borrow it for a little bit (unless you have ADSL) [02:12] Sylphid: yes... yes it does. [02:12] they cannot exist together.... [02:12] FoxWolf: http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2010/04/ubuntu-1004-post-install-guide-what-to.html [02:12] Sylphid: ergo nm got removed... by me. [02:12] FoxWolf: the problem is my router's ehternet port is broken [02:13] FAJ, im pretty sure that uninstalling wicd and rebooting reinstates nm [02:13] U-b-u-n-t-u: but anyway ... :-) good luck for you too [02:13] !virbr [02:13] fausto, do you have adsl or cable [02:13] thanks ChogyDan [02:13] FAJ, i know they cannot run simultaniously but I believe they both can be installed [02:13] FoxWolf: adsl [02:13] 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] i have dsl [02:13] Sylphid: i installed nm === Guest72533 is now known as baddog [02:13] *uninstalled [02:13] FAJ, check by running apt-cache showpkg nm-applet [02:13] SealedWithAKiss: oops, fglrx.postrm [02:14] really, ok i am goint to download it [02:14] Sylphid: unable to locate [02:14] fausto, you are telling me all 4 of the ports on the ADSL are broken? [02:14] hey guys how do I play wmv files? [02:14] I have vlc installed [02:14] U-b-u-n-t-u: Oh do you think it might be "user folders update"? [02:15] ridz: send me a PM and I'll help you with that grub setting [02:15] is there a way to repair the EFI after installing GRUB to /dev/sda on an apple? [02:15] djbeenie_: if you use the gnome/ubuntu provided media player it will prompt you to install the correct codec. [02:15] ChogyDan, it's only been giving me this error since I upgraded to 10.04 [02:15] FAJ, oop sorry told you the wrong package name [02:15] ChogyDan, where can I find fglrx.postrm ? [02:15] FAJ, apt-cache showpkg network-manager-gnome [02:15] 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] 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] pookie_, it said it couldnt find one [02:15] dejbeenie: The best way to get the different codecs is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras from the software center, synaptic, or command line [02:16] 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] SealedWithAKiss: /var/cache/dpkg/info maybe? [02:16] dejbeenie: that will get you the whole package of diff codecs [02:16] Sylphid: what am i lookin for? [02:16] SealedWithAKiss: try using locate [02:16] fausto, do you have any other device that can connect to the internet? [02:16] and fausto how are you on the internet now? [02:16] Can someone help me configure grub to boot Windows 7 on my Macbook? [02:16] FAJ, hmm i thought it showed if it was installed in there [02:17] !grub2 [02:17] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:17] sam how do I pm you [02:17] here I'll start it [02:17] !pm [02:17] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [02:17] FAJ, dpkg show network-manager-gnome [02:17] hiexpo: But EFI is a different beast :( [02:17] FAJ, if it starts with ii then its installed [02:17] Anyone? Should I wait and wait and wait? Come back in half an hour? Or should I reboot, and try something else? Please, I just can't install that OS, I can't see why... [02:18] Sylphid: both have cc [02:18] cs [02:18] cflow didn't install correctly and I can't correct the error reported by apt [02:18] under sudo aptitude search network-manager [02:18] NerdsMcGee, yep and understanding it is to [02:18] I have am on the current ubuntu-restricted-extras, I get error video/x-asf-unkonw decoder plugin which is not installed [02:18] FAJ, ok looks like its not installed then [02:19] if I change the tags to music in rhythmbox, does that change the actual ID tags of each individual file? [02:19] subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [02:19] Sylphid: is it possible to install via the cd??? [02:19] 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] ridz16: I started a PM with ya [02:19] djbeenie_: have you played this file before? [02:19] pookie, i have in windows, not in linux [02:19] 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] FAJ, yes but i dont know the deb config line off the top of my head [02:20] or fausto you can have a dual boot [02:20] I'm trying sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup but i get sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, can anyone help me? [02:20] fausto, /home on a seperate partition makes reinstalls easy and clean. [02:20] FoxWolf: but I don't know what I need to download, the "hardware drivers" gui doesn't specify what I need [02:21] airtonix: I already have home on a separate partition [02:21] fausto, what are you using? a laptop or a netbook? and what is thename of your wifi device? [02:21] fausto, also. for this scenario just download the ndissrapper debs then grab the windows drivers for your wifi card [02:21] Hi everyone. with Ubuntu 10.04 - after clicking install without trying - just blank screen. Graphic is nvidia geforce 6150 le [02:21] fausto, ndiswrapper* [02:22] airtonix: I don't want to use nsdiswraper, the opensource b43 driver is better [02:22] 1ndiswrapper \ fausto [02:22] mj8741: Installing from a cd? [02:22] NerdsMcGee: update-grub should pick up Windows automatically, unless you installed the EFI version of windows. [02:22] fausto, its also more difficult to manually obtain all the bits for [02:22] cd install - yes [02:22] FoxWolf: the device is a broadcom, it uses the open source b43 driver, but needs a proprietary firmware [02:22] 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] mj8741: Before you burned the cd did you check the md5 to make sure it verified? [02:22] fausto, wouldnt know then [02:22] NerdsMcGee: Just run "sudo update-grub" [02:23] fausto, when you are reinstalled and running again then you can remove the ndis drivers and instal b43 again [02:23] oh geez [02:23] Jordan_U: No, I did that, I mean customize the entries. [02:23] cd checked - yes, is fine [02:23] fausto, give output of lspci -nn | grep Broadcom [02:23] all previous ver of ubuntu worked fine [02:23] !wifi [02:23] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:24] airtonix: Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g [14e4:4312] (rev 01) [02:24] NerdsMcGee: You can add custom entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but a windows entry should already exist. Can you pastebin your grub.cfg? [02:24] where is the file that contains the list of installed packages? I am just going to try and remove it from there manually [02:24] fausto, is this a netbook ? does the wifi card also have intergrated bluetooth ? [02:24] if I change the tags to music in rhythmbox, does that change the actual ID tags of each individual file? [02:24] crazy6: if you remove it, dpkg won't function [02:24] airtonix: it is a laptop, and no it doesn't have bluetoth [02:24] Jordan_U: One second please. [02:24] Anyone here have issues where LL 64 periodically logs you out? [02:25] crazy6: can you pastebin the whole error? [02:25] does anyone have any idea how to set up 2 finger scrolling in ubuntu? [02:25] i have a dell mini 10v [02:25] crazy6: if you remove it, dpkg won't function, but i think the file your looking for is /var/lib/dpkg/status [02:25] fausto all you need. to install bcm4312, both b43-fwcutter and b43/STA, is on the install cd....... [02:25] zee: System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad tab [02:25] crazy6: you don't need to edit that, just remove the offending script [02:25] iflema, its actually not everything you need. [02:26] What's the best way to report a bug marked in launchpad as fixed, but which is still showing symptoms of the same bug? [02:26] yeah but the 2 finger scroll is greyed out? [02:26] airtonix explain? [02:26] * airtonix has a broadcom card too. [02:26] FAJ, per the wiki "The new desktop-cd has no deb packages on it anymore so this works for the alternative-install-cd only. This makes this feature less important, but it should still be provided. " [02:26] is the httpd.conf file for apache2 supposed to be a zero length file? [02:26] !fixed [02:26] It's fixed! [02:26] http://pastebin.com/EwG1iLH2 [02:26] Hello, I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 9.10 i386 to my 300 gb hard drive, it is undetected in the installer, but everything else does (Pamplist, GTprated, etc...) [02:26] iflema, I don't think so, when I tried enabeling on the "hardware drivres" gui it tried to download something and failed [02:26] iflema, runnign those debs causes it to head off to the internet somewhere obscure to get yet more files. [02:26] can anyone explain why when I booted recovery mode to root my HDMI output started working? Previously, a 'normal' reboot would not get it working. [02:27] fausto you need to add the install media as a package source first [02:27] I've tried all versions of the buntu's 10.04 - all blank screen after selecting try without installing - any ideas? === xcfdj is now known as Se7en [02:27] I need some personal help here any volunteers ? [02:27] crazy6: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/cflow.prerm [02:27] iflema, I'll try that, thanks [02:27] FAJ, does the live cd run as expected? [02:27] !broadcom | fausto [02:27] fausto: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [02:27] quietone: I can't explain that, but I have problems with HDMI too [02:27] Se7en, just ask the channel [02:27] quietone: if you type aplay -l in terminal, what's the output? [02:27] ChogyDan: that did it, thanks [02:27] mj8741: probably need to know what video card before anyone might have an idea [02:27] sometimes i wish i could not be a nice guy :) but i must be nice and notcall names [02:28] Hello, I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 9.10 i386 to my 300 gb hard drive, it is undetected in the installer, but everything else does (Pamplist, GTparted, etc...)

Can anyone help me? [02:29] NerdsMcGee: There is already a Vista entry there, does it work? [02:29] haavaros: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]. [02:29] Chandler243, sounds like a corrupt iso or bad burn; md5 the iso, reburn at low speed and do the disk integrity check. [02:30] Jordan_U: Yes, but I would like to customize the naming, such as making it Windows 7 like it's supposed to be. [02:30] Chandler243, if the problems persist try the alternate cd (install only) text-based [02:30] And enabling themes for grub [02:30] bazhang: Thank you very much! It also gives me an xcuse to use 10.04! haha [02:30] !ssh [02:30] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

Plus Vista would not work today either. [02:32] heeeey [02:32] bazhang, sometimes i for the name so i wake him up [02:32] Jordan_U: Also, my OSX entries don't work.

[02:32] Ill goto the spanish channel next time and wake him up [02:32] NerdsMcGee: Ok, then copy it (and your OSX entries if you want them) to /etc/grub.d/40_custom and disable os-prober by adding "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" to /etc/default/grub [02:32] the bots name [02:32] haavaros: It is working right now.

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] quietone, are you sure you don't have it set as a secondary display? As opposed to mirroring? [02:33] 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?

Seeing your wallpaper means that it's getting recognized and set up, but you don't necessarily know how to get to it.

Any Help Would be greatly appreciated. PM Me if you do have any Ideas to help. [02:45] 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" [02:46] crazy6: If you click that button, it will ping the list of mirrors and select the best one for you [02:46] 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 === magic_ninja420 is now known as magic_ninja [02:46] Ok I would like to black list the ati driver and use the old xorg driver and specify a resolution and color depth [02:46] CogitoErgoSam: aha, that'll be alot easier than trying to add lines to my sources.list file manually [02:46] manchot, - did someone use that on you ?

[02:48] sdfghjkl : Just connect it once and next time you are logged automatically. [02:48] if you go into the network manager you can edit the entry for that particular connection to connect automatically [02:48] hiexpo, pink_panther, it's not doing that for me. I have to manually choose the network name from the list. It remembers the password, but I have to click on it each boot (fresh install of 10.04 this weekend) [02:48] arinda, like pinacle studio?

[03:00] i just updated a remote machine to 10.04 from 8.04 and it hasn't come back from rebooting [03:00] a-new-man yes there is, let me tinker and i'll remember [03:01] amabo, su then cd [03:01] haavaros: Dell can't rule out hardware issues.

[03:02] a-new-man give it a second, it took a while to show up for me. [03:02] robert__: If so choose manual install and specify the mountpoints on the already existing partitions [03:02] If Ubuntu does not support my machine for 10.04, is there a way to go directly from 8.04 to 9.04? 9.04 is the latest that seems to be supported and 8.10 is bye-bye. [03:03] In Ubuntu 10.04 on a Macbook 5,1 (or others) is the heating issue still a problem? [03:03] a-new-man if that doesn't work for you it should be under System>Preferences>Main Menu as well.

[03:03] pvl1 in a terminal lspci -v [03:03] ok [03:03] amabo: yes, but you will likely need to change permissions after copying as well, since they'll be owned by root [03:03] For some reason anything flash based in firefox doesn't have a sound.

[03:05] a-new-man did accessing it through the GUI not work? [03:05] amabo: well, you don't need the sudo -s shell to copy, just "sudo cp /path/file /home/user/" and then "sudo chown user:user /home/user/file" I assume [03:05] where I can find cool console fonts?

[03:50] i connect on windows with no problems [03:50] i have a 2nd monitor (dvi) that since updating to 10.04, seems to change brightness depending on what's displayed on the screen. how do i stop this? [03:50] ops =x [03:51] it seems that if i have grpahics on the screen it goes very bright but if i only have text (e.g. in a browser) it's goes dim [03:51] acerimmer: that tuto is for grub legacy. but don't worry. i'm looking for [03:52] I doubt that anyone here will be able to help but I'll try anyway. I have 2 problems. I can't install ubuntu 32bit without breaking X when I install the NVIDIA drivers. 64bit works great with the NVIDIA drivers but mediatomb and xbmc media servers don't work any ideas? [03:54] I mean that neither show up on my upnp devices using 64bit versions but show up fine on 32bit systems [03:54] how can i close ( not kill) an X11 that i cant see the window ? i am on nomachine and i need to close (not kill) other processes of the same app [03:55] x11 app [03:56] dos000, kill app [03:57] dos000: wmctrl? [03:57] marcuy, i dont want to kill [03:57] crdlb, i am looking in wmctrl now [03:58] How do I make a link to a folder? I want the link on my desktop [03:58] dos000: kill does the same as close it. at least kill -15 which i guess is the default [03:58] dos000, u can't close it's interface without killing it [03:59] how can I log in to 10.4 on vmware? the keyboard doesnt work [03:59] marcuy, all i am saying is i need to gracefully kill it .. so not -9 [03:59] dahlia: right ctrl ?? [03:59] dos000: kill -15 [03:59] onetinsoldier, thanks ! [03:59] dos000: and... -15 is the default [03:59] I can't get mediatomb 64bit or xbmc 64bit media stream to show up on upnp devices any ideas as to why? [03:59] dahlia: nevermind, that was wrong. [03:59] dos000: you're welcome [04:00] is there a way to do a console login? I dont see the option on the login screen [04:00] thank to all of you indeed [04:00] dos000: kill does the same as close it. at least kill -15 which is the default... so, kill does the same thing as kill -15 , fyi [04:00] onetinsoldier, ah! i did not know that [04:01] dos000: roger. if you use -9, that's not default [04:01] dos000: you should be able to send a delete event to the window with wmctrl, which is even more graceful [04:01] Hello? [04:01] as long as the window doesn't try to confirm the request :) [04:01] no console login option? [04:01] Hello. Which packages do I need to install on ubuntu 10 to enable file sharing on gnome's app? It tells me I need to install packages but doesn't tell me which. I found there is a bug report about this but it also doesn't tell the packages names [04:01] dos000: try looking at 'man kill' and things will become clearer [04:02] brunotorres: i'm not sure. but, do you have samba installed?

Didn't help. I even restarted the computer... [04:03] since I am getting no responses I will assume that the group here right now just doesn't have the knowledge to help me. I'll try later when more advanced users are on. thanks anyway [04:04] brunotorres: are you trying to connect to you ubox from another puter?

[04:07] brunotorres: did you try this?: To begin the process of sharing, open a file browser window by selecting, for example, Places->Home Folder. Navigate using the file browser until the folder to be shared is visible. Right click on the icon for this folder and select Sharing Options from the resulting menu [04:07] in terminal with purge [04:07] brunotorres: try searching on samba in Synaptic, or try the following on a command line.. apt-cache search samba | sort [04:07] but now i already have it [04:08] acerimer [04:08] is there anyway i can have a certain wallpaper for each workspace [04:08] Songer: System>Preferences>Main Menu>Internet - click on firefox so it shows in your menu [04:09] yes i already have it , acerimer === TannerF is now known as Tanner-afk === Tanner-afk is now known as TannerF-afk [04:10] greezmunkey it worked.

[04:10] youtube says i need to upgrade java [04:10] brunotorres: you da man :) [04:10] songer: so it DOES show up. I don't understand the problem you're describing [04:10] Guys, help.. whenever I reboot, my screen resolution reverts back to 640x480? [04:10] this version of ubuntu has taken two steps forward and 5 steps backward. does not work with raid at all while 9.10 worked perfect [04:11] there's file sharing and personal file sharing. What's the difference? [04:11] acerimer this is the 3 time that i install it and now i got it [04:11] acerimer [04:11] rolsworth, if you cant fix it i highly highly suggest you file a bug report, remember lucid is LTS [04:12] i found this. same bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/568050?comments=all [04:13] how can I stop it that when I leave my computer it goes to sleep?

[04:18] anybody know how to let openoffice base/mysql gui tools access a mysql database? Access from the cli, works fine. [04:18] I have a feeling this is a stupid question... i have a feeling I am overthinking this... can I install (like a real/ full/ normal install) to a SD card? [04:18] hololight: I believe startup disc creator can do that [04:19] 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? [04:20] anyone know why /etc/rc.local is ignoring sleep cmds? [04:21] wolf_pup, it isn't? [04:21] it is [04:21] wolf_pup, what makes you think so?

[04:40] y007ghg7, why don't you make another profile in your home directory itself [04:40] i cant [04:40] nimbiotics: Don't use that to run gnome (or any other graphical) apps!

[04:42] LinuxGuy2009, ive tried optipng and pngcrush [04:42] Hey I've found two bugs in lucid and i hope to help me to fix it .. the first one is that netcat is not working anymore ..

[04:43] draginxx: PNG is lossless and if its a full scale photo your not gonna get 30kb with png [04:43] Ive tried compressing it to maximum [04:43] LinuxGuy2009, true ill try jpg :) === mike is now known as Guest54869 [04:43] draginxx: open it in gimp and try jpeg with a custom quality === treelizard is now known as eigenman [04:43] if i try to make a new file in my /etc folder i dont have permssions [04:43] draginxx: when you save it, save as jpg, and you can adjust the quality from the save-as dialog and it will give you a file-size preview [04:43] acerimmer: thanks though. [04:43] I have this bad feeling I know the answer to this, but [04:43] y007ghg7:gksudo nautilus and now you can.

Where should I look for information about which directories are used? [04:44] there's no way to make A join C, is there? [04:44] Narya: yes and no.... look into LVMs [04:44] Narya: no [04:45] hi room. quick question: how can I find the package that replaces libglx? I have accidently overriden that file. [04:45] Guys ..

That will prevent you from being able to write. [04:47] y007ghg7: create the file on dektop or home and then ALT+F2 gksudo nautilus, that will let you copy to /etc [04:47] hmm... it seems the bulk of it may be in /usr/share/apache2... [04:47] i have a 2nd monitor (dvi) that since updating to 10.04, seems to change brightness depending on what's displayed on the screen. even when scrolling through a webpage in google chrome the brightness changes. if i use "display" to display a large image, it also goes very bright. how do i stop this?

[04:53] 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.

Today I open my computer i see that Adobe Flash is not working fine :( I did not do any thing yesterday as configuration on Ubuntu. How it is possible ? Can you help me please ? [05:01] 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] bippity: System->Admin->System monitor, find skype and kill it. [05:01] Any idea why rhythmbox is segfaulting on libusb? [05:01] so_what: was it working previously?

[05:02] NerdsMcGee: if you have a new bug then perhaps you should report with "ubuntu-bug rhythmbox"? [05:02] Guest40186: Audacity? [05:02] Which? [05:02] onetinsoldier, thanks a lot but it hanged three times when i install it .. [05:02] Yeah, thanks much. [05:02] greezmunkey, ok. if my laptop explodes i know who to blame :) [05:02] Lol [05:02] It's audacity [05:02] I can't tell though. It pops the window up and segfaults [05:02] 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] silentx: hmmm, interesting [05:03] silentx: don't know why [05:03] so_what: perhaps check the Software Center and ensure it is installed properly [05:03] onetinsoldier, thanks .. bbye .. [05:03] h00k: ok im looking for it.. [05:03] silentx: cheers [05:04] so_what: Check for it under "Canonical Partners" [05:04] siavashserver: If the library is GPL, and not LGPL, then no, your proprietary application cannot link to it.

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [05:05] h00k: it is installed. [05:05] 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....... [05:06] !wfm [05:06] 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/ [05:07] IdleOne: Am I guilty for telling Flynsarmy that my virtualbox still works for me after an upgrade? ;) [05:08] yeah the alt + f2 thiong didnt work [05:08] 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. :( === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [05:08] y007ghg7: You still having trouble copying a file to /etc? [05:08] LimeWire doesn't connect... why? [05:08] so_what all other versions must be uninstalled...... and its ~/.mozilla/plugins [05:09] LinuxGuy2009; no but the firefox wont find my bookmarks [05:09] iflema: i know . i have remove every package from synaptic. but it does not worked for me. [05:09] 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] y007ghg7: Yeah that bites. Thats why I switched to chrome for the bookmark syncing. [05:10] there is chrome in ubuntu? [05:10] so_what OK [05:10] nop [05:10] y007ghg7: Yeah in the software center. [05:10] brb [05:10] * y007ghg7 checkiing [05:10] y007ghg7: cool [05:10] y007ghg7, There is a chrome beta for linux. [05:10] y007ghg7: it's called chromium-browser [05:11] 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] 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] 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] y007ghg7 can someone explain to y007ghg7 how to log in as root?? firefox new profile etc should be easy! [05:11] because windows wont boot [05:12] !root [05:12] 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] 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] y007ghg7: Did you try safe mode? [05:12] greezmunkey: That is an idea I had: Customer -<-> server <--> me [05:12] yes [05:12] it has a virus that evds the system processes [05:12] ends* [05:12] Some customers are behind firewalls.. etc. [05:12] LinuxGuy2009 windows wont boot he is migrrating the profile safe mode is not relevant [05:12] so_what: I'm not sure, perhaps uninstall and reinstall it [05:12] 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] Webtester01: check this out, it may be possible after all! : http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/ssh-tunnel.html [05:12] 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] !root | y007ghg7 [05:12] 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 [05:13] oh [05:13] Thanks, greezmunkey! [05:13] Webtester01: you would have to take that example and make it work for VNC though... [05:13] y007ghg7 did you try running sudo firefox -P ? [05:13] Webtester01: That's pretty cool, me thinks I'll play with that one. [05:13] don't run firefox as sudo [05:13] y007ghg7 did you try running sudo something bout nautilus? [05:14] can anybody help me get itunes to work on ubuntu [05:14] y007ghg7: don't run firefox as root (with sudo) because it will break your permissions [05:14] G-man: iTunes will not run on Linux [05:14] itunes does work on linux :) [05:14] G-man: alternatively, you can use Rhythmbox to manage your iPods and the Ubuntu One software center to purchase DRM free music [05:14] h00k: i re-installed now the flashplugin-nonfree but the problem still... :( [05:14] 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] whats the sudo for rhythmbox [05:14] im sad that my ipod wont work with rythembox [05:15] sudo apt-get install rhythmbox? [05:15] G-man: It should already be installed, actually [05:15] y007ghg7; try gtkpod [05:15] n8 [05:15] i have an ipod shuffle 3rd gen [05:15] y007ghg7: what iPod do you have? [05:15] gtkpod doesndt work either [05:15] y007ghg7: I think that should work now in 10.04 [05:15] nice [05:15] i have a ipod shuffle 3rd generation [05:15] y007ghg7; try mac osx [05:15] G-man: which iPod do you have? [05:16] i tried everyting for my ipod in 10.04 and it wont work [05:16] or how about vdpau? is that supported in the nouveau drivers for NVidia? [05:16] best bumper sticker i ever saw --> got root? [05:16] lol [05:17] y007ghg7 wait did you start nautilus as root or not? [05:17] hrm, dist-upgrade didn't work ... http://pastebin.com/y1DuUxWr [05:17] yers i did [05:17] Hey guys ... is the ubuntu DVD contains all the Desktop enviroments [05:17] ? [05:17] y007ghg7 did it not let you access all folders then? [05:17] 1 sec trying to load chrome [05:17] How do I install a tarball? [05:17] yes it did [05:17] econtomawesome: /msg me [05:17] y007ghg7 what did it not let you to copy? [05:18] cobra-tje-joker: yes it does [05:18] !pm | econtomawesome, onetinsoldier [05:18] econtomawesome, onetinsoldier: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [05:18] it let me copy everything [05:18] acerimmer ,ok . thank you [05:18] econtomawesome: tarball is a compressed file, maybe something inside it is for installation, but there may be a better way [05:18] y007ghg7 so now you have windows profile migrated? [05:18] no [05:18] y007ghg7 to the new OS? [05:18] !tty h00k [05:18] y007ghg7 why? what is the problem? [05:18] firefox dont recognise the bookmarks [05:18] 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] y007ghg7 I see [05:19] wait brb [05:19] y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder [05:19] 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] econtomawesome: what are you trying to install? [05:20] hi all. How do I find what package a particular (old) library is in? [05:20] ugh maybe I should just back up my home dir and start frmo scratch [05:20] gaelfx: google gadgets, at http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/downloads/list [05:20] econtomawesome: Google Gadgets are in the repositories [05:20] ok im back [05:20] 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] h00k thanks [05:21] econtomawesome: like I said, there's probably a better way ;) [05:21] but my bookmarks didnt inport [05:21] import* [05:21] y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder [05:21] y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder - do you see it? [05:22] thank but i dont want to do that.lol, you think there is a conflict with 10.04 and win7? [05:22] so has anyone used the nouveau drivers with hdmi yet? does it look pretty good or what? [05:22] yes i copyed it [05:22] 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] y007ghg7 try opening places.sqlite with this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817 [05:23] 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] Webtester01: You will need to set LocalForward yes for the client connectors to do what you want [05:23] whats a good p2p music program that is ubuntu friendly [05:23] ? [05:24] hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 64-bit from alt install CD, but it keeps freezing up when it hits the "cleaning up" stage [05:24] any ideas what to do? [05:24] dose anyone know if there is issues with networking from 10.04 to win7? [05:24] gaelfx: fair enough. I should probably start later in the day [05:24] G-man: BitTorrent [05:24] gaelfx earlier, rather [05:24] haha, yeah, coffee is your frien [05:24] vinpan: no, were you using it prior to 10.04? [05:24] *friend [05:25] it worked fine with 9.04 [05:25] 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] i mean 9.10 [05:25] fortran, yikes [05:25] hi all [05:25] * Viking667 shudders. Can't be as bad as COBOL [05:25] how do i run the addon from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817 i have it installed [05:26] can rhythmbox connect to itunes shares? [05:26] vinpan: what type of networking please, details. [05:26] Viking667: hello. still looking for old library? [05:26] yup. [05:26] umm, just file sharing [05:26] Hello, fine people. [05:26] I will be installing Ubuntu for the first time shortly. [05:27] vinpan: ubox to win7, or win7 to ubox? [05:27] vinpan: are you using SAMBA? [05:27] ubuntu to win7 [05:27] I am also installing win7 [05:27] Zombie_Will: glad to hear it. should be fun for you D [05:27] Viking667: do you know the name of it? for example... libgif.so.4 [05:27] thats the thing i can get into xp file sharing and i didnt use samba for that [05:27] yes. [05:28] libgtk-1.2.so [05:28] 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] You can see what I mean by "old" [05:28] i could have sworn that rhythmbox could connect to my itunes share at home [05:28] I'm seeing conficting things with the variuos guides I read about installing both OSs.... anyhelp? :/ [05:28] but its not working over VPN [05:28] fresh hard drive :D [05:28] so should make this easier [05:28] vinpan: now that is pretty interesting, not sure what the problem could be then [05:28] how do i use the bit torrent for music [05:28] vinpan: once you have that done, type smbtree in a terminal see what you get. [05:28] i hit enter and it does nothing [05:28] 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 [05:29] I have resources here.. I'll try apt-file. Thanks, I wasn't sure if that command even existed. [05:29] Nautilus? [05:29] Viking667: roger. use my nick to address me if you can [05:29] G-man: the same as with everything else, you find a torrent file, of the legal variety, and open it with your bit torrent client [05:29] vinpan: file browser, places menu [05:29] onetinsoldier: sure. [05:29] hey could someone help me with the cario dock workin in opengl? [05:29] G-man: you need to download the .torrent files from the internet [05:29] what can I do about texlive-latex-base-doc not installing correctly? http://pastebin.com/LcRxFZ10 [05:29] Viking667: If not, you can check at packages.ubuntu.com (scroll down to the second set of form stuff) [05:29] anyone have a solution to "IOError in chroot_setup(): No such file or directory: '/target/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" ? [05:29] Viking667: dang. sorry. doesn't look like Lucid has that lib [05:30] Viking667: you looking for libglx by chance? [05:30] just installing apt-file now. [05:30] Viking667: roger. [05:30] 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] greezmunkey: he's looking for old gtk... libgtk-1.2.so [05:31] If I can't find it in the repos, I might have to copy them over from my Mandriva machine... yeesh. [05:31] * Viking667 nods [05:31] Viking667: my bad, that was someone else, carry on! :) Got it onetinsoldier [05:31] greezmunkey: cheers [05:32] Well, I may well need libglx, I don't know.

[05:34] Now, let me clear off from here and go do some of this... [05:34] vinpan: what did smbtree show you, don't flood-paste here [05:35] vinpan: did it show you the folder you shared? [05:35] can rhythmbox connect to itunes 9 shares?? [05:35] i guess the share folders [05:35] ya [05:35] 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] Why when I boot Ubuntu as guest it asks to be installed. i quit this screen and reboot. It reboots correctly. [05:36] vinpan: good, samba is working then. Are you running a firewall of any soft on your ubox? [05:36] Hi all [05:36] my ubuntu version is 6.0\ [05:36] nope [05:36] 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] vinpan: can you ping the ubox from win7?

[05:38] 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] the problem is the previous person who worked on that machine made "/" as 17 gb and rest as left [05:38] how do i do that?

[05:40] 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] so I tried gparted [05:40] but I m not able to install it [05:40] where does ubuntu keep the video cache? [05:40] 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 [05:41] nothings there [05:41] mrbook: You're running Ubuntu inside a virtual computer running on top of windows? [05:41] 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] there is no adduser or man adduser [05:42] jew_: could always use useradd [05:42] yes please advice me [05:42] z3row3b: Yes I installed vbox in Windows XP then installed Ubuntu in vobox. [05:42] jew_: there should be. there is on my Ubuntu system [05:42] mrbook1: okay, so you installed ubuntu? As in, the entire installation process completed and it says to reboot into your new installation? [05:42] mrbook1: Is the ubuntu liveCD iso still attached to the virtualbox machine? [05:43] arand: Just what I was about to ask. :-) [05:43] 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] luckymurali: I'm not sayin' a word until you describe exactly what it is that you need to do. [05:43] mrbook1: Be sure you remove the ISO image from the virtual drive. [05:43] mrbook1: You're using it within a virtual computer -- I doubt it has access to all your peripherals. [05:43] join #ubuntu-cn [05:43] 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] arand: I download the iso file and used that to install [05:44] jew_: ok [05:44] Hi all! When I run audacity, it plays about a quarter of a second of the file then stops. What gives? [05:44] mrbook1: That's a side-effect of using a virtual computer. [05:44] greezmunkey, I have ubuntu 6 installed on it which is acting as a svn server [05:44] now what? [05:44] 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] it has 80 gb HDD [05:44] jew_: you can use page-up and page down to browse through a man page. press 'q' to quit out of it [05:44] z3row3b: are you saying I may be luckier to install it on it's own partition, [05:45] they made partition of "/" drive to 17 GB [05:45] 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] how do i add a user to my computer? [05:45] jew_: use sudo [05:45] 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] z3row3b; I'll burn a cd and try it on a live cd and see what happens. [05:45] !sudo | jew_ [05:45] 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] 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] mrbook1: Sounds good. Any more questions, feel free to contact me. [05:46] I want to add the free space to the "/" drive [05:46] is this a drive?? [05:46] z3row3b: Thanks [05:46] could be C: or something?? [05:46] means a partition [05:46] still, C:, D:, F:, etc [05:46] like /./boot etc [05:46] How do I edit audio files? I used to use audacity but it no longer works. [05:47] /./boot?????? is this a path?? [05:47] whats the diff between my account now and a root account? [05:47] !root [05:47] 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] !rootaccount [05:47] !rootuser [05:47] ummm... [05:47] jew_, a root account has special privileges. [05:47] in one line, root is the user that can do anything with the system [05:48] oh okay ..well since i just started using linux today i shouldnt use root account? lol [05:48] root can bring a system it its knees in one fell swoop [05:48] jew_, By using the sudo command you can grant yourself temporary root privileges. [05:49] 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] sudo = super user do [05:49] u can do sudo su [05:49] how is kubuntu verses ubuntu [05:49] i saind /,"/boot" etc [05:49] and have permanent root [05:49] 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] (Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (localhost) [05:49] on here* [05:49] 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] greezmunkey, any tips for me [05:50] red2kic, i dont think rc.local exist on ubuntu [05:50] !audio [05:50] 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] luckymurali: If you have unpartitioned space it should be a rather simple procedure to resize a current partition using a liveCD. [05:50] hello people [05:50] seems like a simple question.... rhythmbox- can it connect to itunes 9 shares??? [05:50] hi mae_tae [05:50] (Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (localhost). I am tring to open a site and got this message. can anybody please tell me what's the problem and how to resolve it? [05:50] jew_: try --> sudo adduser user_name_here [05:50] thanks [05:50] crashdata: "file /etc/rc.local" [05:50] crashdata: It exist! :) [05:51] i've apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (192.168.4.250), how will i change the settings of that IP? [05:51] 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] hmm that didnt exist on 9.04 [05:51] jew_, the sudo command will prompt you for a password. That is your password, not the root password. [05:51] i guess 10.04 its back [05:51] anyone had a chance to look at my earlier request for help? [05:51] phoenix_srv: what's up? [05:51] greezmunkey thanks [05:52] 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 [05:52] red2kic, but thats nto where u edit it though... [05:52] Hi all! What program do you use to edit audio files? [05:52] i've apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (192.168.4.250), how will i change the settings of that IP? [05:52] z3row3b: that's what i wrote before ^ [05:52] luckymurali: It goes without saying the you will want a *tested* backup... [05:52] yay thanks guys [05:52] crashdata: What? [05:52] phoenix_srv: unfortunately that's outside my realm of experience, sorry :-/ [05:52] jew_: cheers, you're welcome [05:52] ok [05:52] z3row3b: thanks anyway :) [05:52] wassup everyone [05:52] how do I bring back the path bar in Nautilus? [05:53] (using 10.04) [05:53] preludelinux: howdy [05:53] ejv: Ctrl + L in nautilus.

I stop the gdm and it stops flashing. But what do I do from here? I want to install ubuntu. [05:53] i have a maxtor onetouch 500GB, if i reformat this as ext4, should i leave the preinstalled drivers etc. on there? or does it not matter? [05:53] 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? [05:53] becouse It is not supporting ubuntu 6.0 [05:53] awesome! thanks red2kic / phoenix_srv [05:54] was REISUB removed in 10.04? [05:54] ejv: for my part, no worries [05:54] im trying to install my graphics card driver [05:54] xxkitexx1, nobody can help you. you haven't told anyone the problem. [05:54] but it keeps giving me a vcdk error [05:54] 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] ctrl + l is a super short cut red2kic / phoenix_srv [05:54] 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] ;) [05:54] s/of of/off of [05:54] i went to the amd website and downloaded the drivers for linux for a particular card [05:54] ok [05:55] apstanto: try 10.04 first, if you have new hardware it might be a driver problem. [05:55] mae_tae: what is the output of the following command: cat /etc/apt/sources.list [05:55] so i dont understand why it doesnt install [05:55] how to install wine on ubuntu [05:55] !ask > xxkitexx1 [05:55] xxkitexx1, please see my private message [05:55] im using the newest one [05:55] !wine > abhijain [05:55] abhijain, please see my private message [05:55] mae_tae: (put it in pastebin.com) [05:55] phoenix_srv, ok ill try that [05:55] !enter | xxkitexx1 [05:55] xxkitexx1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:55] SwedeMike: Is 10.04 out? [05:55] apstanto: yes. [05:55] could someone running lucid confirm something for me? right click at the very top of the top panel (ie: the top of the screen); does the menu pop up? [05:55] !dependcies>xxkitexx1 [05:55] kilrae: correct [05:55] kilrae: right or left? [05:55] kilrae: yes [05:56] SwedeMike: Didn't know, last I heard it was still unstable. I'll give it a shot ;) [05:56] abhijain: apt-get install wine [05:56] Hi. [05:56] so does anyone know whats the problem [05:56] phoenix_srv, i dont find any ip in there, only list of url [05:56] kilrae: yep [05:56] xxkitexx1: what happens when you try? [05:56] red2kic, in regular linux it exist in /etc/rc.d [05:56] I personally got lost in the sea of people talking, try typing out your problem fully on one line [05:56] real quick, i'm using the 10.04 liveCD right now [05:56] it gives me a vckd error [05:57] mae_tae: so just to confirm, the url's are all ubuntu related? as in, they're not your organisations IP's? [05:57] vcdk error sorry [05:57] xkcd error? you should be so lucky.... /me drumrolls [05:57] i have my external USB maxtor 500GB hooked up. it's virtually empty, should I just repartition it to ext4 with GParted? [05:57] arand: your mouse pointer is at the very top pixel of the screen? if you push the cursor all the way to the top left and left click, does the the Applications menu still open? [05:57] xxkitexx1: not a vkd error? [05:57] phoenix_srv, yes, no ip's in there [05:57] ah [05:58] im runing it right now from terminal [05:58] mae_tae: could you paste an output of an attempted apt-get update command please? into pastebin.com [05:58] ok [05:58] also, can i change my handle easily? [05:58] wow this problem has only spiral way out of control: http://pastebin.com/p9euuVnh [05:58] crashdata: Well, I'm going to try it. (Using commands in .bash_profile). [05:58] it says vcdk is missing [05:58] has ubuntu packaged wgetpaste yet? they really need to get on that... [05:58] ejv: Where did you hail from? Here, we call it pastebinit [05:59] kilrae: Ah, no, on my karmic system it doesn't at least, in virtualbox lucid it seems to work... [05:59] red2kic: gentoo [05:59] i have been looking all over the place and i cant figure it out [05:59] Has anyone got audacity working in 9.04? [05:59] !audacity [05:59] ejv: I see! I know Fedora call it fgetpaste -- Something like that. :) [05:59] uhm [05:59] xxkitexx1: unfortunately, i dont have a lot of experience with ati cards, so maybe the forums will be your best bet? [06:00] red2kic, u just wnat ur ubuntu to log u in directly to xwindows right [06:00] red2kic: haha yea this whole gnome gui nautilus thing is new to me ;) [06:00] test [06:00] arand: you wouldn't be able to hit that pixel too easily in a VM I'd expect, but you're having it in Karmic? (/me runs upstairs to try this on Karmic) [06:00] oo [06:00] crashdata: I'm going to try it. Yes. No gdm or xdm. [06:00] crazy6: Your system is running though, right? [06:00] greezmunkey: yeah, seems to be [06:00] ejv: There are a new feature in nautilus (released in Lucid). F3 (for split-window). Making it easier to manage movies. [06:01] test [06:01] crazy6: I had the same issue, I'll see If I can find the fix I used, brb [06:01] this is way to much trouble just to install a driver [06:01] 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] 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] red2kic nice find [06:02] would me being crossfired have anything to do with it [06:02] crazy6: check here, I found this very useful: http://itechlog.com/linux/2008/12/18/fix-broken-package-ubuntu/ [06:03] crazy6: just be sure to work through it slowly, you'll have to read into it a bit. [06:03] xxkitexx1: possible [06:03] mae_tae: could i still grab a paste? [06:03] red2kic, it should be in /etc/inittab but this doesnt exist in ubuntu [06:03] ok, for a while [06:03] 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] i'm wondering if i should format my external hard drive as ext3 or ext4 [06:03] phoenix_srv, here's the link http://pastebin.com/8BKi0GaA [06:04] where is the inittab in ubuntu? [06:04] Video problem: when I enter full screen in a couple of games, some graphics are redrawn an inch or so down [06:04] Guest35590: I makes sense to me that it should be the same as your internal HDD's, I could be wrong. [06:04] crashdata, /etc/event.d [06:04] i just disabled it [06:05] phoenix_srv, how will i fix those error, http://pastebin.com/8BKi0GaA [06:05] greezmunkey, thanks. yeah, what i am probably goint to do though is upgrade to 10.04 [06:05] and then upgrade to ext4 [06:05] dsnyders, doesnt exist [06:05] could it be virtual boc [06:05] /discon/bye [06:05] box [06:05] 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 [06:06] xxkitexx1: if you're running it in virtualbox [06:06] Guest35590: It is a Linux box, so just about anything is possible, but why invite trouble, right :) [06:06] 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] phoenix_srv, the proxy is running, where will i change the ip of that? [06:06] hi. Did the fstab file change any between 9.10 and 10.04? [06:06] greez, ok, thanks. yeah, i'm gonna format to ext3 [06:06] so when you try and install the ati drivers, it will just think "no card exists" [06:06] thanks for your help [06:06] !inittab [06:06] 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] oo [06:07] phoenix_srv, provided that IP is wrong, so where will i set that? [06:07] mae_tae: system > preferences > network proxy is probably where its set [06:07] so how do i install or find it for virtual box === brico- is now known as brico [06:07] 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] is there any virtual webcam drivers available for Ubuntu?? [06:07] xxkitexx1: google for "virtualbox graphics drivers" [06:07] crashdata: I guess the suggestion from a website does not work. [06:07] crashdata, ubuntu doesn't use inittab like other linux systems. It has been replaced with upstart. [06:07] or, you may be able to click to install it in the virtualbox menu [06:07] Guest35590: There you go, what...no veronica??? [06:07] !runlevels | crashdata [06:07] 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. [06:08] red2kic, then how do u change the run level? [06:08] crashdata, sorry about the quick but wrong /etc/event.d reference [06:08] 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] and that will put all your traffic through your proxy [06:08] phoenix_srv, i see, but we're not using GUI, sorry im just new to linux [06:09] ah ok, i cant recall where the proxy is set in the conf files, but a quick google search should tell you [06:09] proxychains is not a gui though, mae_tae, so that may work [06:09] alternatively, if all your details for the proxy are correct, you could just get the admins to allow that file type through [06:10] greezmunkey: argh, it's stuck on cpio, and I already removed that from the status file... any ideas? [06:11] 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] Would anyone be willing to help me with a dual booting issue? [06:11] Marmaduke: state it [06:11] 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. [06:12] mae_tae: it's possibly been specified in /etc/apt/apt.conf [06:12] phoenix_srv, something that apt-get update somewhat being rerouted to 192.168.4.250 [06:12] Marmaduke: You need to reinstate grub mbr [06:12] how do I do that? [06:12] !grub2 | Marmaduke [06:12] 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] 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] 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] Marmaduke: wiki page has a guide for "reinstalling grub" [06:13] crazy6: try to remove the rpm2cpio package, the apt-get clean [06:13] phoenix_srv, aside from apt.conf, what file might be involve, ok ill look at it [06:13] then apt-get clean, sorry [06:13] Hi guys. I'm having an issue with full screen. [06:13] anyone? [06:13] Ok I'll try that thanks guys [06:14] crazy6: let me guess, you don't keep a log of installs, changes, etc to your puter... [06:14] chut: it doesn't already do that? [06:14] 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] yeah nope [06:15] phoenix_srv, where can i find that bashrc [06:15] we have to type nohup programname right [06:15] Hi guys, any mencoder expert to help me to convert m2ts file to avi/h.264 file? [06:15] so i dont want to type nohup [06:15] is it possible? [06:15] what is nohup? [06:15] no HangUP [06:15] it's a run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty [06:15] in your home folder [06:16] so if you typed the following, mae_tae, it would show you the contents of it: [06:16] cat ~/.bashrc [06:16] sigh, ok, giving up, will just reinstall [06:16] YAY for fresh installations of Lucid! [06:16] 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] chut: you could write a simple shell script to start the program that way, maybe even an alias... [06:16] 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 [06:17] oh, so it's possible? [06:17] can anyone guide me in the right direction of setting up my swap partition [06:17] chut: I don't know why not. If you can type it at a terminal it can be automated. [06:17] thebruce: during install or post install? [06:17] oh, so i just need to grab the input right [06:18] acerimmer, postinstall now [06:18] my swap is located at /dev/sdb2 [06:18] chut: what exactly are you doing? [06:18] if i try mkswapon /dev/sdb2 says drive is busy [06:18] i'm trying to run all my programs from the terminal with nohup command [06:18] but i dont want to type nohup [06:18] lolz [06:19] chut: Use Gnome-Do or something. :3 [06:19] df -h doesn't show my swap partition, but i know i made one. b/c one of my partitons shows up as sdb3 [06:19] compiz says it cannot find any animation plugin for 'extra animations' how can i get it? [06:19] !compiz [06:19] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [06:19] chut: ALT+F2 and type in there. :( [06:19] so if I type nohup gedit, it will open gedit as normal, but I can then close terminal and it won't kill gedit?

[06:30] greezmunkey: well my videos are very choppy and the audio and visual tracks do not match up [06:31] Okay, so I've got Windows XP and, as of about an hour ago, Ubuntu on my machine. I've got a wireless adapter which I need to connect to the internet, but apparently the driver's only compatible with Windows. So how do I connect Ubuntu? [06:31] greezmunkey: and and the visual reactions are not fluid. if that makes sense [06:31] BladeNBrocade, can you open the programs manually (ie. through the standard menu)? [06:31] I have a nvidia fx5200 graphic card and am having no plymouth animations on bootup.

[06:34] 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 [06:34] Scouris: it works correctly on my laptop where the main difference is 64 bit vs 32 laptop being the 64 bit...

Help please? [06:35] is there anything i can do about lucid's fsck disk integrity checks being very slow compared to how karmic was [06:35] I've got an issue with the plymouth startup screen. It is just blank except for the console cursor. Removing "quiet" but keeping "splash" spews out kernel messages. The splash screen works on shutdown. Is there any way to debug this kind of issue? [06:35] phoenix_srv I saw a post about that somewhere. [06:35] BladeNBrocade, I can't see the issue reported elsewhere. Is anything reported in the system logs?

[06:39] Er... reverse those two [06:39] greezmunkey: just wireless driver [06:39] SoNick: I downloaded latest one to fix problem with Fn keys [06:39] But that seems to have broken my virtual box [06:41] Some googling tells me that the best solution [and most common one so far] is to use sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [06:42] Yea tried that [06:42] SIOCADDRT: File exists [06:42] SoNick: Yea, tried that, I got no file exist [06:42] Failed to bring up eth0.

If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so I can find them." [07:08] hm. I have a weird problem here, Update manager icon is still there after installing updates [07:08] I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off tap to click in xubuntu?

Pidgin package in Karmic repos is broken [07:10] theadmin: hmm. i was trying to use "./configure" to install it [07:10] xangua: i will try your method.

[07:10] xangua: I dunno, it was broken for me [07:11] i'm going to use the repository. [07:11] Should I hold down the power button? [07:11] 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: You need to add their repository the get the latest (as said, instructions on their site) [07:11] theadmin: thanks, buddy. i'll go back and read the instructions. [07:11] 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] apstanto: Dunno, try Alt+SysRQ and type "REISUB" [07:11] 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] please anyone of you help me [07:12] or else i will have to format and install both OS again [07:12] !anyone | san [07:12] 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] darolu: He asked his question [07:12] greezmunkey: yes they sold this to me with ubuntu 8.04 on it.... [07:12] another thing is that i dont have xp boot cd [07:12] theadmin: oh I see, sry :) !patience? :p [07:12] darolu: :D [07:12] san you did wrong, firs one installs windows and then any other OS, remember that next time [07:12] san: what grub version do you have? [07:13] any ideas folks? [07:13] greezmunkey: the restricted extras might help right [07:13] 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] 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] xangua: ya i know that dear but i needed ubuntu very desperatly and i dint had xp cd that time thats y [07:13] darolu: 1 [07:13] cdw32: Dells page doesn't mention Linux/Ubuntu anywhere? [07:13] haven't messed with xorg.conf in ages [07:13] Sorry about that...glitchy. Anyone? [07:13] Is anyone having trouble with gedit running amok on processing power? [07:14] how would i go about updateing to glx version 1.3? cause cario dock is toggleing indirect rendering... [07:14] and I'm trying to avoid that [07:14] greezmunkey: ubuntu.dell.com [07:14] darolu: i repaired grub through live cd as said in forum then came in ubuntu and sudo apt-get install grub [07:14] greezmunkey: they sold it to me like this and i think they are kicking themselves for it [07:14] in grub it shows last option as xp but throws an error no such file system [07:14] darolu: I don't even know how to begin writing the setting for my trackpad [07:14] 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] cdw32: heh :) [07:15] 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] darolu: fstab is not responsible for GRUB stuff, menu.lst is deprecated. [07:15] greezmunkey: and dell dose not have any support with ubuntu you have to to call cononical [07:15] jimtuv: 2.6.34-020634rc6-generic [07:16] andi refuse to pat [07:16] pay [07:16] san: my bad fstab won't help but the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [07:16] hello, I'm wondering how if I could add my uni apt-proxy to my sources.list [07:16] cdw32: fair enough [07:16] darolu: sad there is no file or folder in etc named fstab [07:16] 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] oh,http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/lib/debian-sources.list by the way itsays, I think it says hardy only [07:16] so I'm wondering if it'll work, I'm using Feisty I think [07:16] greezmunkey: i dont know [07:16] this is what i got when trying to open glx cairo dock (opengl version) http://pastebin.com/tkXzAEQT [07:16] 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 [07:17] darolu: ya i know that commands shows all drives my linux drive is in sda8 [07:17] san: there must be one, but nevermind; you said you have grub legacy right? [07:17] greezmunkey: once this is done the extras is there anything i need to do [07:17] 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] darolu: legacy? [07:17] san: legacy = 1 [07:18] greezmunkey: mint [07:18] jimtuv: I could've swore I just installed the new kernel, but it isn't updating [07:18] darolu: extremely sorry i dont know what it is [07:18] cdw32: no you shouldn't have to restart. Mint / ubuntu derivitive(?) [07:18] cdw32: I don't mint... [07:19] san: uhmmm you said "1", nevermind, did you install karmic or upgraded from jaunty? [07:19] Mint is meh. And we don't support it here anyway. [07:19] darolu: karmix fresh install through boot cd [07:19] greezmunkey: i have no clue what is it [07:19] 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] san: ok so you have grub 2, run "sudo update-grub" it should add your windows entry to the grub [07:19] san, do this for us to help you, pastebin those : sudo fisk -l , your grub error msg, your grub.cfg [07:20] 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] greezmunkey: all of them [07:20] streaming, [07:20] internet [07:21] and tohers [07:21] darolu: updated [07:21] san: I see, try running "sudo update-grub" see if it prints your windows entry [07:21] 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. [07:22] darolu: nope it doesnt [07:22] 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] sorry to ask but where is grub.cfg located? [07:22] san: /boot/grub/ [07:22] greezmunkey: so i may never have good vid again [07:23] Grah, help me. VLC keeps freezing videos (while audio keeps playing), it's impossible to watch anything :'( [07:23] san: lets make see what is in your grub.cfg in your terminal run "grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg" (no quotes) [07:23] well its a big file how to i upload it here? [07:23] menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-21-generic" { [07:23] menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-21-generic (recovery mode)" { [07:23] menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" { [07:23] menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)" { [07:23] menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" { [07:23] menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" { [07:23] san: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:24] my nvidia 9600GSO can not work! [07:24] How do I change the root password in US 10.04? [07:24] 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] rizzuh: There is NO root password. [07:24] rizzuh: you don't need it; use sudo [07:24] rizuh: Use pwd to set one, if you want to enable root..? [07:24] darolu: i think grub has not located where xp is [07:24] Well there is. Logged in as root via SSH. [07:24] greezmunkey: thats the think i have no clue what the layers are lol [07:24] when i reboot my ubuntu,i must install the driver for it [07:24] SoNick: Don't recommend people that [07:25] san: I forgot to mention the pastebin part, sorry; did you see your winxp entry there? [07:25] san, use pastebin~~~ [07:25] Password is a bunch of numbers, looks liek a hash (which probably is) [07:25] !pb [07:25] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:25] who can tell me why? [07:25] darolu: ya last 1 [07:25] rizzuh: You can use passwd to set the password. Careful with that, however. [07:25] 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] darolu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428105/ [07:25] san: OK if it's there in theory it should work, reboot and see if it works. [07:25] wildbat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428105/ [07:26] 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: ok trying [07:26] gl [07:26] restarting.... [07:26] help! http://paste.ubuntu.com/428106/ how do i get GLX 1.3?

[07:27] greezmunkey: is there a command or something i have to run [07:27] greezmunkey, jnss, as posted above, VLC keeps sluttering the video (that is, it freezes and audio keeps going), pretty much for all of em [07:28] jimtuv: My screen kept flickering and my function keys weren't working properly [07:28] cdw32: for what? [07:28] does anyone know how to use (aka winkey ) as Alt+F1 just like windows? [07:28] theadmin, is the cpu getting raped or could it be vlc that's going awry [07:28] oh so one fix killed something else isn't that always the way [07:28] 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] wildbat: what does Alt+F1 does in Windows? [07:28] theadmin, try mplayer, the command like player. it is way better than vlc [07:28] theadmin, what kind of video? 1920x1080 or something smaller? [07:28] need to make wify happy lol... help! http://paste.ubuntu.com/428106/ how do i get GLX 1.3? [07:28] greezmunkey: to find out what vga componant is installed [07:28] bronto2: Let me check [07:28] theadmin, and whats happening with the cpu usage? [07:29] Alt+F1 opens the applications menu, I assume [07:29] hello guys, I'm looking for a good antivirus for my file server, is there any apt-able one [07:29] 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] SoNick: that's what gnome does but I'm not sure what wildbat wants to do [07:29] is there a reason i shouldn't install apps in the "usr" directory? [07:29] bronto2: Hm. Nevermind. Was transmission's fault :/ it eats a lot [07:29] darolu:error: no such device found: f809034...... - press any key to continue... [07:29] darolu, that what i want ;p [07:30] darolu: thats waht happns when i choose xp [07:30] anyone know of a cli video player [07:30] mplayer [07:30] Fudge: mplayer? [07:30] darolu, key insteads of alt-f1 to pull the menus [07:30] san: do you see your windows partition with "sudo fdisk -l"? [07:30] 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] 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 [07:31] darolu yup first one sda1 in boot row there is a * [07:31] bronto2: nvidia? mehaz ATI [07:31] wildbat I got good news and bad news [07:31] nvidia [07:31] greezmunkey: i meant in bios is there anything i need to do [07:31] darolu:/dev/sda1 * 1 6374 51199123+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [07:31] CogitoErgoSam, hey ~ you still there xD [07:31] wildbat: bad news, can't use gconf to bind something like the menu to the super key exclusively because its a modifier === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [07:32] cdw32: no, when you power on it should be F2 as it comes up to get into the BIOS [07:32] CogitoErgoSam: xmodmap? Not sure how to use that, but... [07:32] wildbat: good news, might be able to via compizconfig if I can find the right command-line options to bind to Super [07:32] theadmin, bad luck then (i think ati doeant have anything like VDPAU, but i could be wrong...) [07:32] cdw32: power up hit F2 once a sec or so as it powers up. [07:32] wildbat: But it does look like you can bind actions to JUST super via compizconfig [07:32] darolu: actually this is my windows drive-/media/2E5439DB5439A70D but in grub when i choose xp it shows different 9B30234.. [07:32] bronto2: It started happening since update to Lucid [07:32] 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? [07:33] CogitoErgoSam, i tried that too ~ no luck ;p [07:33] greezmunkey: f2 is the options isnt it [07:33] darolu: i think grub is searching for xp in another drive [07:33] bronto2: And, really, that is no good. Gotta do a clean install of Maverick when that's out... [07:33] theadmin, what? slow playback? [07:33] Hi [07:33] bronto2: Well, yeah, that... sluttering. [07:33] darolu: can we specify grub that in which drive is our windows located? [07:33] darolu: do you have any idea whether xinput will help my situation and if so how to use it? [07:34] darolu: may be it can solve [07:34] bronto2: Then again, if i kill some apps (which i could run on Karmic while playing vids :/), it's fine [07:34] cdw32: do this, open up a new terminal, then run: dmesg > dmesg.txt - and paste the entire thing. [07:34] san: yes it's possible the change of UUID is causing this, well you can force it using a custom entry [07:34] if I use apt-get remove python 2.4 will it remove all components (includes gnome-terminal) ?? [07:34] 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] im using ubuntu 6.0 edgy eft [07:34] theadmin, i'd guess then there is something wrong with drivers, but no idea really [07:34] cdw32: to pastbin, that is...It'll tell what driver is being loaded. [07:34] luckymurali: That's soooo EOL [07:34] darolu: cos i just dont want to reformat it, i already formated 2 times in this month [07:34] 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 [07:35] Is there something I need to do before it can see it? [07:35] cdw32: there will be a file called dmesg.txt in you home directory... [07:35] theadmin, Im not getting you [07:35] please explain me a bit [07:35] 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] san, you can just do a testdisk to cure up corrupted ntfs partition ~ [07:35] luckymurali: Edgy. It's EOL. [07:35] ya [07:35] Is there a downloadable version of the Ubuntu docs? [07:35] skarri: I have no experience with xinput, sorry [07:36] but my question is will removing of python will remove other components?? [07:36] wildbat: testdisk? command? [07:36] darolu: thanks anyway [07:36] like administartive tools [07:36] san, there is chance that grub write on NTFS parition as you point to sda1 instead of sda [07:36] or svn server etc [07:36] san, testdisk is the command [07:36] i m sure my grub is searching for windows in wrong drive [07:36] greezmunkey: can you send that to me again pls [07:36] luckymurali: Maybe, maybe not. We don't support EOL releases here. Most likely yes though [07:36] cdw32: do this, open up a new terminal, then run: dmesg > dmesg.txt - and paste the entire thing. [07:36] san: Have you run "sudo update-grub"? [07:37] yes [07:37] cdw32: there will be a file called dmesg.txt in you home directory... [07:37] wildbat: its not installed [07:37] now please tell me how can i revert it back [07:37] san, install it then XD [07:37] what is this failed to bring up eth0 and SIOCADDRT file exists? anyone help me please [07:37] san: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo grub-mkconfig"? [07:37] theadmin, here is some basic info on vdpau btw: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU [07:38] san: edit your /etc/grub.d/40_custom file and add this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428112/ [07:38] bronto2: Interesting.

[07:44] every reboot its changing time [07:44] even i set UTC=no at rcs [07:44] 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] wildbat: what do i choose? analysis?,advanced? [07:45] any one have idea how to fix this issue.. [07:45] ramindia: A workaround might be to set your Time and Date settings to sync with an ntp server [07:45] I don't know why cron doesn't work after updating to ubuntu 10.04.

[07:46] Hey I have a keyboard that has a special key to put my comp into sleep mode, works in both Ubuntu and Windows XP but if I hit a key my comp wakes up in XP but not Ubuntu. Is there a way to change this? [07:46] wildbat: what should i choose in testdisk there is a menu full of options [07:46] san: there's the error I think, your grub.cfg is using a f00something UUID when the real one is 2E5439DB5439A70D [07:46] san, refer to the http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [07:46] darolu: ya thats the problem [07:46] Help! I've downloaded the x64bit flash for Ubuntu 10.04 and the only thing in the tarball is a .so file. What to do??? [07:47] san: Did you ever pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [07:47] 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] econtomawesome, put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins [07:47] Jordan_U: ya [07:48] cdw32: there? [07:48] bp0 just the .so file? [07:48] Music Player is stuck. It asked me to contribute it to some cloud-pool so I said yes. Then it paused and I couldnt do anything.

I just installed ubuntu 10.4 64bit, and there's no IRC option in the account creation dialog of empathy [07:49] darolu: ya i will do whatever you say but i dont know command to change [07:49] bp0 then what? [07:49] san: Not the output of grub-mkconfig (they should be pretty much the same but I suspect that for some reason they are not). [07:49] wildbat: Grub never touches the filesystem. [07:49] Jordan_U: ok pasting [07:50] san Jordan_U I see the boot.cfg is using lowercase letters while blkid prints uppercase; are UUID case-sensitive? [07:50] hello [07:50] greezmunkey: im back [07:50] darolu: No, (grub always uses lower case). [07:50] darolu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428120/ grub.cfg [07:50] bp0 then what?

RHYTHMBOX froze a blank screen.

[08:03] but is this problem solved totally? what to do if in future i get this prob? [08:03] bp0 ah, I see what you said [08:03] bp0 kk [08:03] darolu: is it solved permanently? [08:04] 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] greezmunkey: is there anything i can do to help [08:04] CogitoErgoSam: yes i linkied to kolkotta to /etc/localtime it worked. but my other application GUI shows still US time [08:05] san: Run: echo "test" | sudo tee -a /boot/grub/grub.cfg [08:05] san: I'm glad it worked; Jordan_U seems to know how to fix the update-grub issue [08:05] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428123/ [08:05] darolu: update-grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/428123/ [08:06] 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] Jordan_U: nothing happend.. [08:06] san: That's the problem, it's updating your menu.lst instead of grub.cfg. Run [08:06] ramindia: What other application gui [08:06] greezmunkey: thats cool [08:06] san: ... run "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" [08:06] greezmunkey: i feel the same what [08:06] CogitoErgoSam: xbmc GUI [08:06] way [08:07] greezmunkey: i am still trying to understand linux [08:07] Jordan_U: command not found [08:07] can any1 tell me where i can configure the notify popups in 10.04, i want to change the location of the notify popups [08:08] 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] san: "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" [08:08] greezmunkey: yeah thanks will do...i have been blowing google up the past days [08:08] done.. [08:09] 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] cdw32: no doubt, g'night. [08:09] san: Now run "sudo update-grub" again and the output should say "generating grub.cfg..." === nibbler is now known as nibbier [08:09] ramindia: From there you can also press the "Time Settings" button to further tweak the time [08:10] Jordan_U: yup [08:10] CogitoErgoSam: no right clicks..its media center [08:10] san: If it now talks about grub.cfg instead of menu.lst then the problem is permanently fixed. [08:11] ramindia: Sorry I should have phrased that better; I was referring to the clock on your gnome-panel [08:11] darolu,Jordan_U:,wildbat: new blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/428127/ [08:11] ramindia: The one thats normally next to your notification icons like mail, chat, etc [08:12] ramindia: Not the one inside XBMC [08:12] darolu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428128/ [08:12] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428128/ [08:12] wldbat: grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/428128/ [08:12] san: seems like it is permanently fixed (thanks to Jordan_U's instructions), it's updating grub.cfg and your winxp is there. [08:12] CogitoErgoSam: this is not xserver, its GUI loaded [08:12] hi guys..!! am stuck am using ubuntu 9.04 and i successfully configured squid with dansguardian bu i dont know how to limit downloads ,can anyone help me how to handle that!!!!thanx in advance [08:13] ramindia: Ohh....hmm...well, I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with xbmc to help on that one [08:13] Jordan_U: oh! thanks man you rock lols if you wouldnt have help i would have to reinstall xp and ubuntu both you saved lot of time thanks man! [08:13] hey..im using feisty fawn and i want to know whether how can i have an updated source list in order to do usual apt-get update ..etc.. [08:13] can anyone tell me what happens to cron in ubuntu 10.04? it doesn't work for me [08:13] darolu: thanks to you too man! you firstly sarted helping me.. [08:13] san: You're welcome :) [08:14] wildbat: even you help me a lot thanks to you to bro.. [08:14] san: :D glad it's working now. [08:14] 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 [08:15] poui: Feisty is not supported and has known serious security vulnerabilities, upgrade to a supported release. [08:15] Jordan_U: i have lack of space and hoping to stick to fesity as long as i could [08:15] any work around? [08:15] poui: It's past as long as you can keep feisty. [08:15] hi all [08:15] Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: mmmm.. i think i will be mean but.. can i ask for one more help? ehh. please heh [08:16] san: Sure :) [08:16] san: just ask :) [08:16] so Jordan_U u mean no other way [08:17] 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] 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] poui: I would install 8.04 it's similar in size and system requirements. [08:17] "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] Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: i came here in IRC and asked many times even i read many forums but never helped [08:18] Jordan_U:,darolu,wildbat: none of forums had any solution i think in karmic some USB Bluetooths dont work [08:18] ramindia: I think I found your fix. Run the command "hwclock --systohc" [08:19] !google | dwatkins [08:19] 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] ramindia: That should set the hardware clock to the current system time [08:19] hey what happened [08:20] Hi ubuntu users ! [08:20] wildbat: can you help me install bluetooth in my karmic? [08:20] darolu: what to do to install bluetooth in karmic? [08:20] 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] 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] sadly, i dont have any space left [08:20] :( [08:21] poui: 10.04 is exaclty the same size as Feisty. [08:21] san: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup looks pretty extensive and should help you === traveller__ is now known as traveller [08:21] darolu: heyy!!! its alright man!! no need to worry thats why i have kept xp cos bluetooth doesnt work and ip msg doesnt work [08:21] ramindia: Last thing to double check is /etc/timezone [08:21] darolu: well.. i m trying but i dont think i will get solution cos i went through many forums [08:22] darolu: ya i went through this one also [08:22] hey guys anyone who knows how to limit download by size using squid....help!!! [08:22] is there room for a hardware question here? [08:22] 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] CogitoErgoSam: it show US/Eastern [08:23] CogitoErgoSam: how to change to Asia/Kolkotta [08:23] you could gksudo gedit it, or use a diff editor like vi/nano/etc [08:23] Jordan_U: lol you may laugh but i think lucid isnt compatible with my pc whenever i start setup my keyboard and mouse stops working tried to upgrade and spoilt my karmic then with live cd same thing happens [08:23] CogitoErgoSam: what need to put to get india time [08:24] hello all, does anyone know why dvd::rip is always ripping short ? [08:24] ramindia: What city in india you want it set to, I can look it up with the gui here [08:24] hello, i set up openvpn on kubuntu 10, what do i do next? how do i connect? [08:24] ramindia: so you don't have to interrupt xbmc [08:24] India any location [08:25] wildbat: well.. do you know anything to setup bluetooth? [08:25] i belive it shows only kolkotta [08:25] No colors in midnight commander... why?

I'm trying to setup various mail alias on evolution but I can't find it. Doesn't anyone knows how to do this? [08:29] ramindia: Ooh now that I look at how it saves it on my system when I select kolkata, you'll need to save "Asia/Kolkata" instead [08:30] ramindia: Its doing a Continent/City format apparently, not Country/City like I thought [08:30] Can someone help me with nvidia and second display [08:30] wildbat: Comcast is evil. [08:30] arand: You'd need to use qemu, and it's not trivial (probably not worth it). [08:30] anybody know why lucid doesn't have fltk2? === mre is now known as jellow [08:31] Jordan_U: Ah, yea probably.

I have them all in separate files, except for one file which has two. [08:33] mikeliss: if your using separate configs for each vhost, look at the order in which they will get loaded [08:33] FyreFoX: How do you know what order they get loaded in? [08:33] ramindia: Did you run "hwclock --sysohc" ? [08:33] mikeliss: ls -l [08:33] Hi. How can I disable the startup of qemu-kvm? What's the right way of disabling it permanently? [08:33] FyreFoX: Ah. And how does that help diagnose? [08:33] ramindia: err....that's "hwclock --systohc" [08:34] mikeliss: is the top one your 'default' vhost? [08:34] FyreFoX: Could be, sure.

[08:36] how do i install the most stable release of the xorg edgers? [08:36] poui: Why would you want to go to dapper over lucid? They are the same size and lucid will be supported much longer. [08:36] cz i only have these two version atm [08:36] and i wanted to do a quick test on some R packages [08:37] mikeliss: your new vhost, where does it sit in the order of things?

[08:50] should I have an /etc/init.conf file ? [08:50] apstanto, during the install process can't you select which partitions to use? just select the existing ubuntu partition [08:50] When I shut down Ubuntu 10.04, it says: "Unmounting weak filesystems..."

[08:56] check out synergy-plus from google [08:57] can I just change upstart out for sysv-init, will stuff break ? [08:57] Jordan_U: chroot apt-get update? a little shaky on the reverting part...

[09:16] IronChef: not sure. maybe because it stops noobs from trashing their systems. [09:16] stodorovic: they will trash it using sudo, no difference [09:17] llutz: '~$ locate upstart-script' does not produce any output. What do you mean? [09:17] llutz: i know :/ [09:18] bullgard4: grep -ri "weak filesystem" /etc/* and if there are hits, do what i said before [09:18] 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 :-) [09:19] i had 8.04 on my lappy before that - i'm an lts kinda guy with work machines [09:19] IronChef: boot messages have something to do with usplash (or whatever ubuntu uses) + 'silent' grub/kernel option [09:19] you'd hope it was that simple i agree ;-) [09:20] IronChef: did you disable silent? [09:20] and any reference to splash? [09:21] i'm still getting my head around grub2 to be honest [09:21] 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] i like it though - looks like it will be heaps easier to use - just everything is in different places now [09:21] What are nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf?

[09:24] 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] IronChef: Google's NameServers are located at 8.8.8.8 [09:24] wow cool IP :-) [09:25] blayze:yes in fact i am doing this sudo apt-get update and upgrade since past morning [09:25] 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] vivek_: dunno then [09:25] blayze:in my software sources though this proposed updates(lucid-proposed) is not checked [09:25] 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] every time i want to go in internet i have to type dhclient3 eth0 in terminal.is there ahy way to set it automaticaly ? [09:26] blayze:only recommended updates and important securty updates are checked [09:26] having said that, i think build flags rock if you like tweaking stuff [09:26] IronChef: not udev, surely? was it not ufe or something like that? [09:26] oops [09:26] one sec [09:26] * stodorovic does not remember [09:27] 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 updated repos before. [09:27] ufed :-) [09:27] 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] "Use Flag EDitor" [09:27] IronChef: that's it! :D [09:27] heheh [09:28] dPetrovic: check /etc/network/* files [09:28] 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] hvala :) [09:28] dPetrovic: lol :P [09:29] 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/ [09:30] i love the new theme on 10.04 - had to change the min/max/close buttons back though [09:30] me too iron [09:30] D: [09:30] 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] what does the new theme look like? [09:30] black [09:30] dPetrovic, oups file is /etc/network/interfaces and interface is eth0 not dh0 (Ireally should finishing my coffee now :) [09:30] and minimal [09:31] is that the Vista route? [09:31] derp what exactly stops working [09:31] not that annoying brown anymore (appologies) [09:31] 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] i quite liked the brown/orange :) [09:31] sound, external drives automounting, and a few other things [09:31] stodorovic: no, much simpler and snappy than vista imho [09:31] stodorovic: what do you mean with vista route ? [09:31] IronChef: yeah but ubuntu's playign catch-up to vista ? [09:32] 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] i'm too old school - it needs to be blue or black, or maybe green for me :-( [09:32] Question: My computer login as my account automatically when booting. How can I make it to ask for password? [09:32] derp you activate through hardware driver? [09:32] 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] dPetrovic: i thought vista was first to have the black crystal theme? [09:32] who cares about wista [09:32] lol [09:32] ubuntuaddicted: yes, through jockey-gtk [09:32] ubuntuaddicted: haha [09:32] win 7 is pretty nice (if you have to use windows that is) [09:33] but vista was just another win 98 imo [09:33] ubuntuaddicted: if I disable the driver everything fixes itself (but I'm back to nouveau) [09:33] who can help me? my wireless connection does not auto connect when machine is rebooted [09:33] 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] designed to sell / designed to fail [09:33] derp already tried to manually install drivers?or maybe a try through envy?

I was'nt able to try the beta for 10.4 === sajuuk is now known as Guest89745 [09:35] jepes28: go for it :-) 10.04 - although i'm strictly rh/centos for servers [09:35] 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] 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? === Votan|off is now known as Votan [09:36] Hi all, can I please beg for some help with xorg, modeline and my ancient monitor.... [09:36] 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] 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] 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 ??? [09:37] stodorovic: all gnome settings/home directory stuff (like .ssh) worked fine when copied back [09:37] jepes28, final non-beta lucide Ubuntu 10.04 is an LTS and has a server edition. You may try this last one [09:37] 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] cat /etc/*release* [09:37] bullgard4: but grepping for that variable might give you an idea [09:38] hi all [09:38] hey guys im trying to play movies- i could before, but now it just crashes the program... i dont know whats happened [09:38] that one works on most *nixes [09:38] hey Guest, what program are you using? [09:38] computerx, yes:) [09:38] nice nic root____ :-) === Guest89745 is now known as sajuukthanatoskh [09:38] ubuntuaddicted: no, I haven't tried a manual install from the nvidia website because the lucid release notes mentioned it not working [09:38] ha, my client did it auto [09:38] yikes [09:39] texnick im satisfied with 64 bit [09:39] root____, it doesn [09:39] plymouth was the most bad decision for lucid [09:39] don't run irc as root ;-) [09:39] i just install netbook remix to dell inspiron 1011 [09:39] so when I log out my networks stops.... is this intentional? [09:39] exit [09:39] root____, it doesn't matter which one, none of them can play movies now, its a bit weird [09:39] exit [09:39] everything works fine [09:39] ha [09:39] root____: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[09:40] <_TexNick_> ubuntuaddicted ... does it seem quite a bit faster than 32 bit ??? [09:40] 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] he seemed willing to help me [09:40] I really need help with my xorg and modeline - I've done everything, including getting the modeline from Powerstrip, but it's just not working. [09:40] elnur: well no [09:40] elnur: they will [09:40] sajuukthanatoskh: who? [09:40] texnick depends on applications..all in all i would say yes..for example blender rendering is really better [09:40] elnur: hmm actually... maybe - i shut up now :-) [09:40] elnur: new connections will use the changed settings [09:41] elnur: yes it will be applied. might take a few moments. not sure why. it might be that apps cache dns results. [09:41] stodorovic, root___, its alright its an easy problem, movies won't play for some strange reason [09:41] movie player on gnome to be exact [09:41] lksjdfa [09:41] <_TexNick_> ubuntuaddicted ... ty for the input ... hope it works well :) [09:41] * IronChef was thinking ifup_eth* [09:41] sajuukthanatoskh: oh. I have /join and /part on ignore as there's too many people leaving and exiting. What video program? [09:41] join [09:41] llutz, stodorovic, so, i don't restart anything, right? or there is some process i can restart to make changes apply quicker? [09:42] elnur: consider using the package "resolvconf" and specify your dns inside /etc/network/interfaces, no need to modify /etc/resolv.conf manually [09:42] Where can i find the post-install script so i can fix it to remove a package? : http://pastebin.com/m1Z4D20a [09:42] elnur: no you cannot (afaik) [09:42] I guess i'll go with Centos 5.4 32 bit as server and use lucide server on vm. thanks people. [09:42] /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:42] stodorovic, its simply movie player, standard you get with 9.04, could there be something wrong with my video playback drivers? [09:42] computerx, use the program gtf: gtf 1024 768 56 -x [09:42] used to do stuff [09:42] hah. vim /etc/resolv.conf && chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf :) [09:42] llutz, resolvconf is not installed now and i'm not sure whether i need it if i got /etc/resolv.conf [09:42] so when I log out my networks stops.... is this intentional? [09:43] stodorovic: don't advertise hat here, please === root-dbone is now known as old_root____ [09:43] sajuukthanatoskh: i dont run ubuntu so i have no idea which movie player it is [09:43] lbt: intentional and annoying [09:43] hi again [09:43] * lbt facepalms [09:43] stodorovic, make it vlc then [09:43] lbt: google "ubuntu persistant network/wifi" for all the fun [09:43] elnur: if you only have one fixed connection, you won't need it [09:43] thanks IronChef :) [09:43] hello, I'm following http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/125977?theme=print. Unfortunately, myjob example provided there doesn't work for me (in ubuntu 9.10). Can someone help? [09:43] Aha, i've found the files but they are empty [09:43] llutz: that's what I had to do at home as ubuntu was messing with my dns settings :) [09:44] Morning all, Can anyone help me with this? When booting on a fresh install i have a nice crisp boot resoluition but as soon as i install the non free ATI Drivers the resolution is 640x480 [09:44] Ian_Corne: like my life lol [09:44] stodorovic: wrong way btw [09:44] llutz, it's for server machine [09:45] llutz: in linux there's no such thing as wrong way :) maybe not the ubuntu recommended way... I also had to do something similar due to firefox/flash conflicts with the 32bit flash loader [09:45] stodorovic: that IS the wrong way to fix dns-issues [09:45] llutz: why? [09:46] !netsplit [09:46] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show.

[09:47] stodorovic, dns issues? check /etc/resolv.conf too [09:47] llutz, thanks for you help [09:47] llutz: i dont use dhcp. it's annoying for small networks. [09:47] elnur, you can watch me in several channels ;) [09:47] ibuclaw: that's the file i edited :) [09:47] oh look - it's the flood...

When booting on a fresh install i have a nice crisp boot resoluition but as soon as i install the non free ATI Drivers the resolution is 640x480 [09:48] omac, try unetbootin. [09:49] I wasn't able to boot off of my ubuntu 10.04 usb key today at all. I had placed some. [09:49] ja660k, its ok, we didnt see that [09:49] what's unetbootin [09:49] omac, and what iso image are you using to copy to the key? [09:49] bronto yeah totally =( [09:49] yo, im trying to connect to my ubuntu (karmic) server via my macbook, I have tried various VNC clients and none of them are working, it is logging in and showing a black screen, anyone experience this before? [09:49] mandrey openoffice? [09:49] llutz: nah. static IP is the way to go. If you only have 2 boxen.. and you want to do DNAT [09:49] Did some who know how to dispose Gwibber to use QQ? [09:49] chobomuffin: try setting the settings on full color [09:50] !unetbootin | omac [09:50] omac: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent === zorzar_ is now known as zorzar [09:50] hmm [09:50] and the device probably does not support same IP address by MAC address [09:50] hey, does anyone know anything about rssdler? I'm getting an error when I try to run it: http://pastebin.com/JUcnZbtp [09:50] is there any particular reason why installing the proprietary nvidia driver in lucid would kill my sound? (among other things) [09:50] 10.04 ubuntu from last week as a torrent. i booted ok on a machine yesterday, but then I went home and tried it on my PC and it hasn't recovered from that. I keeps on giving the same unable to mount message and the keyboard caps and scroll keys blink. [09:50] stodorovic: in a setup like that, theres no need for nm at all === old_root____ is now known as old_r [09:50] Mandrew, http://bitprison.net/jpg_to_pdf [09:50] can you help me with enigmail-locale-fr: [09:50] Depends: enigmail (<2:0.96) but 2:1.0.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed [09:50] This inconsistency show even with main updated Lucid repository. [09:51] thanks bronto2 [09:51] llutz: true. but that's what KDE got me to setup afair. I now run fluxbox though so bleh :\ [09:51] I'm so f@#$ pissed. I was doing this as a favor for a windows user and put his backup on this usb key. It's a good thing I put in on another hard drive also. [09:51] stodorovic: those are only front-ends to nm, disable/deinstall nm completely and use ifupdown [09:51] Pyrokinetics: I try Remote Desktop for Mac and it pops up a connection log and the last item says "Receiving server init" [09:52] Hi again, I just did "gtf 1600 1200 60 -x", copied the modeline into my xorg.conf, restarted. Nothing changed. It's ignored my settings, despite having worked fine in 9.10 2 days ago. [09:52] omac: are there linux fil;es on the pen drive? (is your nick related to Tolans? :) ) [09:52] Pyrokinetics: VNC clients i have tried, just go as far as a black screen, even when setting full colors [09:52] I've been praising 5.0 to 9.10, but this 10.04 one has issues. I wouldn't trust it. [09:52] yes. [09:52] I have the pen drive with me. What do you want to see? [09:52] tolans? who is tolans? [09:53] not really. is it bootable? and never mind about Tolan if you don't know it :) === manio_ is now known as manio [09:53] how to make upstart re-read the init/*.config ? [09:53] chobomuffin: ok that was what I did 256 colors was checked and when i put on full color i could see my screen, but i cant control it :s something weird is going on with vnc [09:53] btw [09:53] no takers on the rssdler problem? [09:53] since I saw Pyrokinetics mention vnc [09:54] you should check out teamviewer [09:54] that's pretty good [09:54] and its free for non-commercial use [09:54] 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] 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] Pyrokinetics: you might want to check out teamviewer [09:55] dhruvasagar: yeah teamviewer works great until i tried with multiple screens and now it hangs :D [09:55] 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] Pyrokinetics: multiple screens ? [09:55] Sooo, any ideas why ubuntu is ignoring my xorg.conf? [09:55] omac: missing usb drivers? missing sata/scsi/block/ext2/ext3/$your_filesystem_driver ? [09:55] dhruvasagar: i got two monitors and a TV connected (seems like teamviewer doesn't like that) [09:55] omac, fyi - blinking caps + scroll is a kernel panic. [09:55] Pyrokinetics: hmmm interesting i've never tried that :) [09:56] omac: blinking keyboard lights are signs of kernel panic. VFS cant find your root-fs so it panics up. [09:56] that's right! It is a kernel panic. [09:56] dhruvasagar: its still beta for linux suport so im praying for a new version to see if that solves it [09:56] omac, installing from the alternate CD may help [09:57] 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] Pyrokinetics: yea its beta. I found it one of the better options too. [09:57] 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)" === Votan is now known as Votan|off [09:57] (this fixes bug #573919 BTW ... so not just being noisy....) [09:57] Are there any commands you could point me to find out what my root-fs is? [09:58] omac, what are the 2 filesystems formatted as? [09:58] on the usb-key that is? [09:58] dhruvasagar: do you know about any viewers that locks the computer when i connect to it (like MS remote desktop does) [09:58] in order to boot with windows compatibility, the main one is vfat. [09:59] Then the usb creator tool asks to create persistent storage...4GB for that. [09:59] I would assume it is ext3 or ext4 for the persistent storage....I don't know. [09:59] 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] 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] 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. [10:00] All I can say is that it booted up successfully once on a computer at work, but when I got home and tried it on my pc, it started to emit this error and hasn't stopped since. [10:00] since xubuntu lucid i can't select files in thunar. any idea how this can be fixed? [10:00] omac: wrong drivers? wrong device name? [10:00] quiritius, sudo python gnome-language-selector or from menus: /System/... [10:01] quiritius: For per user change it is in ~/.dmrc [10:01] locate locale [10:02] Pyrokinetics: haha im a mega newb [10:02] omac: according to Documentation/devices.txt, 8,1 would be sda1. Is your sda1 the usb pen drive? [10:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9240344 Can someone help me out [10:02] chobomuffin: me too :P [10:02] Pyrokinetics: nope... === FreezingFriday is now known as BPower [10:02] Pyrokinetics: I had the 'confrim every request' box checked, so everytime i tried to connect, it popped up a box saying 'Deny/ Allow' on the server [10:02] :( doh! [10:02] kjele_: .dmrc lists en_US.utf8 [10:02] chobomuffin: aha hehe :P [10:03] leagris: it does not help. [10:03] quiritius: what does the command locale says? [10:04] 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] But it shouldn't rely on that. [10:04] kjele_: locale lists all params to be set to en_GB.utf8 [10:04] I should rely on the usb id. [10:04] hey guys, is there available virtualbox version on lucid ? [10:04] hi all [10:04] omac: do you have any IDE hard drvies? (ie. PATA drives) [10:05] can anyone tell me, do the SATA 6GB/s ports make any difference? [10:05] 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] quiritius: Have you exported that locale in .bashrc or similiar files? [10:05] hard-drives (except $2k SSDs) aren't even up to 10% of the capacity of 3 GB/s SATA [10:05] omac: since apparently, now all PATA drives are detected as scsi drives much like usb-storage or sata drives [10:05] Can you help with: enigmail-locale-fr: Depends: enigmail (< 2:0.96) but 2:1.0.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed besides I did an apt-get update on the main Lucid repositories? [10:05] my harddrive at home would be sda1 [10:06] kjele_: no, checked it the first thing. at least .bashrc is clean. [10:06] that's why it f@#$ up my hard-drive yesterday. [10:06] omac: you mean sda? [10:06] hi guys, I did a lot of tweaks (configurations, apps installed..etc) to Lucid and I want to save those tweaks so when I reinstall Lucid again I get them all. How to do that please? [10:06] DavidJHeinrich, i don't have much different ~ except you are on RAID with many HD ~ [10:06] stodorovic: my pc harddrive: /dev/sda2 on / type ext3 [10:06] sda1 is swap. [10:07] wildbat: what do you mean? [10:07] quiritius: Try to create a new user and login to that user and see what its locale is [10:07] I don't know why I can't find named.conf ? any idea guys ? [10:07] wildbat: you can plug more than one HD into the same SATA port? [10:07] gucko, i'd backup my home folder, things that start with a dot that is [10:07] 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] gucko, in nautilus try ctrl+h to show you those [10:07] hello all [10:08] bronto2: does it contain all the configuarations I did? [10:08] Anyways, I've said my say. There are issues with this release. [10:08] gucko, not sure [10:08] 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] gucko: you can also use something like clonezilla or partimage [10:09] hey guys. is there an option to allow resizing of a maximized window? (with-out un-maximizing it first) [10:09] hi [10:09] DavidJHeinrich, the HD share the speed of the same controller of SATA [10:09] administrateur_, bind9 may have switched to a directory named.d or conf.d [10:09] gucko, let me check my 'what to backup' list, hold on [10:10] I don't understand, but when every applications are closed 50~70% of procs are allready used under last release of ubuntu. Where can I check please ? [10:10] wildbat: much like the pci bus has to share the bandwidth of all the devices on it? [10:10] leagris, it's ok I found it in /etc/bind/ [10:10] hi, anyone know if ubuntu server 10.04 server need to configure what to allow access from external network? [10:10] stodorovic: I'm sorry for confusing you. Let's try again. My usb key is not in the computer. I have an ide drive not sata. It's recognized as sda2. I booted yesterday with the key, but it gave that error on unknown block(8,1). [10:10] gucko, also /etc [10:10] hey could anyone here help me sort out a problem with rssdler, I get an error that looks like this: http://pastebin.com/JUcnZbtp [10:10] since xubuntu lucid i can't select files in thunar. any idea how this can be fixed? [10:11] Jie_Sheng: not sure [10:11] quiritius: I am testing on my system and the system locale file is at /etc/default/locale [10:11] 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] stodorovic, kinda but different algorithm of coz [10:11] coz? [10:11] The usb-key should not be using my hard-drive at all! It is a live usb key after all! [10:11] leagris: oh ok kewl :) [10:11] quiritius: So you might have files that is exporting the wrong locale in your home [10:12] 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] geekphreak: thanks. [10:12] omac: especially if it was created during the install process. [10:12] 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] Jie_Sheng: what problem you facing, i know mysql is locked by remote normally, check iptables rules? [10:13] geekphreak: erm, i disable ufw, does iptables still in effect? [10:13] stodorovic, coz = cause ;p [10:13] 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] Jie_Sheng: yes [10:13] wildbat: you meant "of course" :) === Votan|off is now known as Votan [10:14] stodorovic, oh right ;p ~ coz = course too ;p [10:14] haha [10:14] stodorovic, bad habit from online game chatting ;p [10:14] 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. [10:15] omac: are you sure it's a live usb key? where did you get the image from? === Galerien__ is now known as Gal [10:15] wildbat: that does make sense. typing is kept to a minimum to avoid being fragged :P [10:16] The image is the iso CD image from bittorrent as downloaded from ubuntu. [10:16] Hi every one, I was just wondering if there was any news about the ati proprietary drivers and ubuntu 10.04?? [10:16] ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso [10:16] quiritius: Well that would be hard to see. ~/.bashrc ~/.profile ~/.bashprofile [10:16] ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent [10:16] omac: so you ran dd of the image to the pen drive? [10:16] no. [10:17] 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] quiritius: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell)#Startup_scripts [10:17] Gal, not that i know of [10:18] system->adminstration->usb startup disk creator [10:18] 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] 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] Gal, I saw a web page yesterday that showed a fix for it... something about fixing the splash [10:18] 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. [10:19] wesguin: fixing the splash? don't know what this is... [10:19] 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] geekphreak: erm there is man but it is not in /etc/init.d [10:19] 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] well try to dsiable it for test [10:19] Gal, well its the new one ubuntu switched to [10:19] wesguin, you have a url taht i can follow? [10:19] Jie_Sheng: make sure firewall aint blocking it, else we will create a rule [10:20] wildbat, I'd just have to do a google search again [10:20] qwd: download alternate cd , and use command line mode install [10:20] Well, that's why I'm in this forum. I just wanted to share my unpleasant experience to prevent anyone the same pain. [10:20] wesguin: ok, so from Radeon to Splash? [10:21] amac, what's wrong? [10:21] Jie_Sheng: also check if router settings are ok [10:21] How do I install Netbook Remix on Dell Inspiron Mini please?< [10:21] geekphreak: thanks [10:21] geekphreak: erm, i disable ufw, that the firewall u talking about? [10:22] Jie_Sheng: no iptables? [10:22] 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] geekphreak: i cant find a way to disable the iptables [10:22] geekphreak: and i dont think it is configured also [10:22] Jie_Sheng: ok no worries [10:22] stodorovic: thanks for listening. I've gotta go. [10:22] How do I install Netbook Remix on Dell Inspiron Mini please? Is there a netbook channel? [10:22] is there a way to know what are the things i opened "photos, documents" , something like history ? [10:23] Gal, oh I found it but all it does is fix the ugly splash screen when you install the graphics driver [10:23] wesguin: I don't have any problem with that [10:23] Jie_Sheng: type this sudo ufw disable [10:23] I just can't use opengl and play video game [10:24] geekphreak: stopped and disable at system startup [10:24] visof: place recent docs? [10:24] hi, I just installed the new ubuntu 10.04 but whwn i try to run vmware workstation 7 i get an error message: See log file /tmp/vmware-root/setup-3560.log for details. Can somebody tell me what this is? [10:24] Jie_Sheng: can you connect now? [10:24] How do I install Netbook Remix on Dell Inspiron Mini please? Is there a netbook channel? [10:24] Gal, it was awful on my son's toshiba satellite so I disabled the ati radeon driver [10:24] Gal, plus the driver just didn't seen to be working right [10:24] LetsGo67: Eh download the cd at ubuntu.com and install it?

[11:51] Excuse me, what does holdin down "c" key during the boot of the Live CD do? [11:51] Since that is the only way I can get it to boot? :D [11:51] 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] yeah it'll say 64 usually at the end [11:51] MacB: on macs, that's how you tell it you want to boot from cd [11:51] e-frame: VLC [11:51] wait wesguin> checking [11:51] is there an ubuntu games channel? [11:52] 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] : on macs, that's how you tell it you want to boot from cd [11:52] e-fr [11:52] e-DIO-t: wha. [11:52] jrib no, I mean AFTER telling it that [11:52] "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] 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] Sounds slightly voodoo if you ask me, but it actually works... :D [11:53] assistance will be appreciated... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9239913 [11:53] 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] yay [11:53] But I'm just quite scared of installing for real since I got no idea what happens [11:53] 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] theadmin: pm [11:53] MacB: are you planning on dual booting? [11:53] Yeye but jrib, what does holding c do after I've choosen to boot from the CD... [11:53] jrib, yes [11:53] jud: I think it might be a better idea to perhaps try and create the groups again [11:53] 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: did you install refit? [11:53] Yup, have it installed [11:53] Have the needed space here [11:54] 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] 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] As in, do I have the balls to go for the actual install ;) [11:54] jrib, nevermind, now konsole is working fine [11:54] wesguin, thanks! [11:54] budlust, yeah use the menu editor [11:55] dose anyone whit unbutu 10.4 LTS try-ed to access windows network ? Is it working for them ? [11:55] How can I list all users a system has [11:55] VirusTB, thanks for what? [11:55] ? [11:55] 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] theadmin, i was type the command "startx" but i can't see my desktop [11:55] kjdro: ya [11:55] 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 [11:56] i wonder what wnet wrong with my install ? (it's a fresh install, the one i'm chating from) [11:56] some bud would go good with these beef sticks [11:56] i need some help with my 10.04 and tethering trough bluetooth on my iphone i used this guide and it just messed it all up http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1649987/Linux%20user%20issue%2086/Linux%20user%20issue%2086%20how%20to%20tether%20your%20iphone.pdf [11:56] hello i get problems with sound http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3a6bc7234264f812309dd7c298ebbd891a861d7d [11:56] wesguin, "uname -a" thanks [11:57] jrib I think it should be something about the liveCD [11:57] oh np :) [11:57] 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] now i cant get the bluetooth to find my phone :( [11:57] MacB: shouldn't be [11:57] Since at this point I'm through the basic boot stuff... That is what is puzzling me [11:57] Yes, I know. :P Shouldn't be, but is! [11:57] That's the whole reason why I'm here ;) [11:57] MacB: you're using refit to boot from the cd though [11:58] 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] 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] how do I open rar files? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [11:58] just updated the system, quite a few updates and I just saw this error http://pastebin.org/203043 anyone know what went wrong?

[11:59] jrib no, I'm using the OSX whatever to boot from the CD, options being rEFIt or boot from CD [11:59] Before rEFIt comes into play [11:59] jrib [11:59] budlust: i'm trying to access to see all the computers from the workgroup (HMM that gives me idea, maybe workgroup isn't configured) [11:59] Oh whoops, Thank you jrib, I did not see it as I was typing. [11:59] How come my computer does not boot the 10.04 32bit CD but it boots up the 64bit without any problem [11:59] Hello where can i get help to solve my sound card options? [12:00] Chripher: problem with the 32 bit maybe [12:00] Chripher: checksum the cd [12:00] dhruvasagar: wouldn't know what's correct or not....people just add themselves by sending an email with "add me" in the subject bar. I just add the email, no other details. [12:00] jrib: it boots on my other lappy [12:00] Anyone know how to copy encrypted DVD's with k3b... its a 200$ dvd that I will be traveling around with and I don't want to lose it to scratches [12:00] hmm [12:00] Chripher: doesn't matter [12:00] ARGH. [12:00] jud: :) tough one then :), but you would know who your friend is and whose not right !? [12:01] apt-get upgrade says it cant fetch packages duie to not being able to resolve ESSID $THIS_ESSID [12:01] jrib: ?? [12:01] Chripher: checksum the cd [12:01] jrib: how [12:01] Chripher: Could be a damaged medium, ddrescue and other utilities can test that. [12:01] Everytime I first boot the computer I get "MAC in deep sleep" and the WLAN is not recognized.. only after rebooting a few times, it starts. Any idea, what the problem maybe? [12:01] like wtf does that have to do with apt-get and the network. resolv.conf does not have that there and neither do the apt sources etc [12:02] dhruvasagar: i don't know many of them personally, they all subscribe to a pdf newsletter i put out monthly [12:02] hell i uploaded information in http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3a6bc7234264f812309dd7c298ebbd891a861d7d [12:02] cna somedody take a lokc I am new in ubuntu [12:02] jud: hmmm [12:02] jud: i am not sure what you can do them [12:03] Chripher: what ubuntu version [12:03] jud: except try to remove people who say they haven't subscribed === root is now known as Guest17702 [12:03] jrib: 10.04 [12:03] dhruvasagar: anyway, ok, thanks. [12:03] jrib: I got the iso how do I check if cd got burn right in linux [12:03] !verify | Chripher [12:04] Chripher: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:04] I'm sure you get this about 100 times a day.. but I had a spare PC and decided to try ubuntu out.. so I have 100% fresh instal.. anythings that I should really look into (coming from win 7) [12:04] jud: you're welcome :) [12:04] hello. what is the package name of totem showing video? its not showing but music is playing. i wanted to record with gtk-recordmydesktop but when its open then video works perfectly so i wanto use ubuntu-bug but for witch totem package? [12:04] And well jrib, I'll just go for it [12:04] Worst case scenario, it won't work [12:04] dhruvasagar: WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THOUGH IS THAT THE ONLY REAL EXPLANATION IS THAT THEY HAVE SET UP FORWARDING...YEAH? [12:04] rescuing a dvd camera record file - need help please [12:04] Atm the space is unallocated anyway so it won't fubar too bad (I hope :D) [12:05] krazykrivda, regarding something specific? [12:05] nope yofel [12:05] totem totem-gstreamer totem-plugins-dvb-daemon totem-common totem-mozilla totem-plugins-extra totem-dbg totem-plugins totem-xine ? witch one is for showing video? [12:05] jud: yeap [12:05] dima: you should just install the whole totem shebang [12:06] 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? [12:06] dhruvasagar: THANKS [12:06] wesguin: I have an android phone and was looking into getting into more serios programming and whatnot.. so that is the main reason i switched.. but just trying to get what the best features of ubuntu, since im' completely ignorant to it at this point [12:06] dima: there's a url somewhere I used [12:06] rescuing a dvd camera record file - need help please [12:06] wesguin, i want to file a bug for totem not showing video using ubuntu-bug [12:07] ......... Whats the best compiler in Ubuntu to write code in C and C++ ???? (prefferably with a nice GUI) [12:07] Solved: the problem was subsequent to ip/hostname mapping of isa server in etc/hosts ;) [12:07] krazykrivda, well to me the best feature is I don't have to worry about security issues as much I guess [12:07] VirusTB: a compiler doesnt get a ui? [12:07] VirusTB, the most common and available C is gcc GnuCC [12:07] dima: oh I dunno [12:07] dima: you sure it's a bug? === FreezingFriday is now known as BPower [12:08] jrib: how long shoud the hashing take [12:08] Chripher: a few minutes [12:08] dima: it's working great for me [12:08] to start gnome desktop.. can I before me it: aptitude install gdm ? [12:08] wesguin: fair enough... but since this is a secondary computer that I will be using more so for programming, and probably not a lot od downloading etc, but just was looking into any cool features [12:08] mickster04, well ok a "program" that can help me ( a beginner) write code and help me solve debug errors [12:08] krazykrivda: As someone who's in the middle of switching, one thing I love and miss when I DO use Windows is multiple desktops. Improves workflow hugely. [12:09] VirusTB: better, You want an IDE. there are plenty of good ones, i use CodeBlocks [12:09] !IDE [12:09] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [12:09] krazykrivda, well it's *nix so it's cool [12:09] leagris, thats like"apt-get install gcc" ?? [12:09] VirusTB, if you want a graphicale IDE there is Eclipse, Anjuta, Kdevelop and some others [12:09] very nice work to netbook remix edition [12:09] krazykrivda, the ubuntu 10.04 has the nicest desktop features.. at least in my opinion [12:09] VirusTB, you should install build-essentials [12:09] haha, agreed.. and benjamintheyon- you saying i can have multiple desktops on ubuntu? or windows.. and what do you do on multiple desktops? [12:09] wesguin: nope wasnt in there [12:10] my win7 desktop is littered with files and crap left and right.. anything I'm working on goes directly to the desktop [12:10] bud: where are you seeing it? [12:10] VirusTB, this meta-package will install base nessary tools, headers for compiling. You may then add an ide or program with a text editor and command lines [12:11] krazykrivda, I can't stand win7 or vista... xp isn't too bad [12:11] 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] Which Music player you suggest I should use? [12:11] PROJECT X - need help please [12:12] wesguin, when i try to open a file that isnt associated with an application then click open with and the list of programs show up [12:12] radhika, I tend to stick with vlc (VideoLan) for almost everything video/audio [12:12] leagris, thanks for the info! :D noted it all down :P i'm still a newbie in Ubuntu, [12:12] budlust, oh.. sorry I thought you meant it showed up in in the menu.. just a minute I think I know where to look [12:13] JHGVFTHGFTYDTCFGDCG [12:13] benjamintheyon: nice! that alone excited me.. ubuntu is completely un-explored for me, so every feature and trick.. is exciting :-\.. btw, I did find this http://www.rewardprograms.org/thefreegeek/features/17_musthave_free_apps_for_new_ubuntu_users.html, but nothing really seems that great to me... [12:13] leagris, BTW, i had a friend that convinced me to switch from VLC player to GOM :S [12:13] budlust: after changing smb.conf do i need to restart samba ? i cant find samba in /etc/init.d [12:13] I'm running Lucid Server Edition and need to run an application that requires Xorg but I don't want to install a full desktop environment if possible. What options have I got? [12:15] budlust, dang I saw it somewhere but I can't remember [12:16] 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 [12:17] 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] benjamintheyon: yeah, that makes sense.. [12:17] Grexeo: what's the app? [12:17] anyway to switch the minimize maximize to the other corner? lol [12:17] Ubuntu sucks. I just spend ages trying to figure out why i could not do an apt-get update and it turns out it's some Gnome stupidness with trying to use an ESSID *name* as a hostname to resolve ubuntu.com! [12:17] it sucks badly [12:18] krazykrivda: I know that's not exactly dazzling; but I also like the idea that it supports the free exchange of information, and almost anything can be changed with enough time and knowledge. You'll come to love it if you give it a serious chance [12:18] stodorovic: you're trolling.. [12:18] i dont get it i just installed the bluez-utils but when i try to restart it it doesnt want to mandrew@mandrews-msi-netbook:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/bluez-utils restart [12:18] sudo: /etc/init.d/bluez-utils: command not found [12:18] mandrew@mandrews-msi-netbook:~$ [12:18] im using 10.04 [12:18] Mandrew: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:18] scunizi: no i'm not. [12:19] stodorovic: if you wanted you could find out what *you* are doing wrong.. or if there is an error in the system.. to call something stupid because you don't understand it .. well.. [12:19] scunizi: i asked for help here and no one offered. this is not a troll. I only managed to get this working by quitting gnome. ubuntu suck as a result. it should not take a 10 year veteran Linux user and developer this long to sort this out [12:19] stodorovic, I can understand your frustrations but ranting here will not help you or anyone. Please, calm down and ask for help and anyone with knowledge may help you here or redirect to proper instructions. [12:19] stodorovic: Stating a post with "ubuntu sucks" in this chanel and beeing serious about it is trolling... [12:20] scunizi: Skype - we need to send messages to staff and unfortunately they only provide a client API [12:20] 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 [12:21] scunizi: it's not my machine and not my choice :/ [12:21] Grexeo: have you tried "mumble" [12:22] abyone in here have an android phone? [12:22] I suppose it's this network manager. does anyone think it's a good idea? [12:22] Gal: No I haven't, I'll take a look, thanks [12:22] krazykrivda: Yup, I've got one [12:22] krazykrivda: I have, but I'm only running version 1.5 === marius_ is now known as Tenebrus [12:23] DJones: which> and do either of you do an programming [12:23] 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] i need some help with my bluetooth problem [12:23] http://pastebin.com/YUhhdpnz [12:23] krazykrivda: Mine is a HTC Magic, I don't do any programming [12:23] budlust, hey maybe it's in /usr/share/applications [12:23] hi, could someone help me with a small problem? [12:23] 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. [12:24] noobdude: Name the problem. [12:24] stodorovic: on most desktops you easily can remove nm and use ifupdown [12:24] !ask | noobdude [12:24] 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] budlust, you could just delete them from there [12:24] llutz: stodorovic or wicd [12:25] jrib: i took very long time to hash this cd anyway to speed it up would be nice [12:25] i got very low download speeds when im using wireless lan [12:25] 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] scunizi: desktop ~ no roaming between different networks [12:25] scunizi: Ok, thanks [12:25] jrib: sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1 count=733419520 | md5sum [12:26] bs=1 ouch that will be slow [12:26] noobdude: Is it only on Ubuntu? [12:26] leagris: Skype is a requirement as it's the only client which provides us with free mobile messaging [12:26] yep [12:26] Chripher: use "bs=4k" and no count= [12:26] 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) [12:27] 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] Chripher: "md5sum /dev/sr0" [12:27] yep the download is on highspeed if wired and no im not using bittorrent or any othe p2p prgrams [12:28] 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] Grexeo, too bad, you could had nice and powerfool phone gateway with Asterisk, but this one needs gateways for SMS and MMS [12:28] llutz: without count it would calculate the free space alos [12:28] Hi, I want my terminal PS1 can show as colorful, how to set this PS1 variable? [12:28] when i start ubuntu, mouse and keyboard not not mouve [12:28] some body know wath is the problem ? [12:28] I know the PS1 variable is in .bashrc file. [12:29] Jiong: google for "fancy bash prompt" [12:29] can anybody help me? [12:29] llutz: I've tried living on cli for a while. great experience. but haven't dove into the networking stuff via conf files yet [12:29] llutz: thank you first. [12:29] Jiong: Try this: "export PS1='[\t] \[\033[1;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[1;32m\]\w\[\033[0m\]$'" [12:29] noobdude, there is a possibility that you are encountering a bug that slows down stuff becuase of IPV6 lookups (even if you dont have ipv6)- bug417757 [12:30] bug 417757 [12:30] ubottu, bug 417757 [12:30] ...:/ [12:30] VirusTB, I forgot to mention you the also famous and multiplatform NetBeans [12:30] scunizi: i don't live on cli but there are still some systemrelated things like networking etc which shouldn't be configured within X-apps (imo) [12:31] Netbeans? also on Windows [12:31] !bug 417757 [12:31] Netbeans? also on Windows leagris [12:31] and how can i disable that ipv6 lookup? or is it impossible for now? [12:31] VirusTB: Yeah, Netbeans is cross-platform [12:31] VirusTB, yes. This is a java based runtime so it can work on any platform using java [12:31] VirusTB: yes, multiplatform, just like eclipse or codeblocks [12:32] codeblocks? never heard. Oh well, not much of a developer. [12:32] theadmin: I use it for C/C++ on windows === lipsin__ is now known as lipin [12:32] jrib: You where right the cdrom hash did not match I hate Fuji cdr === lipin is now known as lipsin [12:33] theadmin: what's the [\t]\[\033[1;32M\] mean?

[12:33] theadmin: the bashrc [12:33] Jiong: That \[\033[1;32M\] thingy is some color code, \t is "Current time", and the language it uses is bash, obviously [12:33] man bash [12:33] Jiong: I stole that prompt from someone else in the channel :D [12:33] k, i'll try it. thanks [12:34] theadmin: hehe, it's ok [12:34] theadmin: nobody see you stole it. [12:34] heh [12:34] sweet i should give netbeans a try leagris theadmin Gal [12:35] VirusTB: Might be worth it. Not sure it's what you are looking for, but it's nice. [12:35] VirusTB: It's also huge, though. [12:35] theadmin, we are evaluating netbeans vs eclipse for Grails... is netbeans very slow though (slowe-er than eclipse ?)

You can download only Java part of it for instance, yeah, you can download em by "parts" [12:38] VirusTB: good luck. it usually takes years to learn them properly and then learn how to use them properly [12:38] wesguin, yes its working for me too on other 2 computers but on one its not working with fresh install. so i file a bug about witch package if in totem video not playing but when opened also recordmydesktop its working again- showing video [12:38] stodorovic, dont remind me :D i alreayd hate programming, [12:39] VirusTB: then why are you going to learn c/c++ ? :) [12:39] dima, ah ic [12:39] stodorovic, the course i picked has one sememster in those languages....

The drive shows up just fine when I do a sudo fdisk -l, and i even tried adding a Linux partition (83) to the drive, but unfortunately with the same result - any ideas on how to fix that? :S [12:56] henkedk why wouldn't it prompt you for partitioning? [12:58] thesheff17> well, it does not show anything i can patition - the "table" that normally shows the drive/partitions is just empty [12:59] hello, 10.04 new install - usb mouse stops selecting - can still move the mouse - help [13:00] john-b> what happens if you just replug the mouse? :) [13:01] rebonjour [13:01] sounds weird....can you fdisk it from the command line and remove all partitions and the write the changes to the disk...reboot and try again.

The only i can do from here is yank my mouse pointer back to the primary screen where it works fine. any idea what's wrong?? this is issue has been bugging me since the RC [13:13] i want to confirm my dhcp lease is coming from the server and that my dd-wrt is just using dhcp forwarding but do not know how to show the ip my lease is from. ifconfig doesnt seem to have an option to do so [13:13] good morning all :) i was wondering if i could trouble you with a question. I am trying to get ubuntu 10.04 working with VMware i am running into the issue with the keyboard not working at login. I read that i could "run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" i am just not sure how to run it without being logged in. Any suggestions "sorry i know its probably a very stupid question" [13:13] Does the OEM install option in 10.04 not work? Do I do a regular live boot and then pull in oem-config-packages and go from there?

[13:16] 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] [Inkscape] I have drawn an equilateral triangle. How can I rotate it by 40°? [13:16] eein: grep DHCPACK /var/log/syslog [13:16] bullgard http://www.inkscape.org/doc/tips/tutorial-tips.html [13:16] sorry that should have been 'sudo mount -o loop ~/.android/avd/MyAvd/sdcard.img /media/sdcard' [13:16] look for object rotation [13:17] halicon, take a look at this http://communities.vmware.com/thread/261454 === phnom_ is now known as phnom [13:17] landswipe: If you prefer, I believe you can use fuse to mount cd images so you don't have to involve root at all.

[13:18] anyone familiar with samba and veto'ing files? trying to solve a mac issue on a stand alone samba box [13:18] thankyou very much eein im gonna check it out [13:18] landswipe: you talking about iso's right? === pixel is now known as pixil [13:19] i guess [13:19] i think the problem is that the filesystem itself that is mounted is clamped to root [13:20] so I tried 'sudo chmod 777 /media/sdcard' and it tells me permission denied [13:20] llutz, thanks hm looks like i get leases from both not so good [13:23] technically, is a version number "4.20" older or newer than a version number "4.3 [13:23] could you please answer to that 10 question survey, its for my uni project. thankss http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=t553mepp3adyuun753902 [13:23] Hi. How can i get "projectM" working in Lucid? [13:23] 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] technically, is a version number "4.20" older or newer than a version number "4.3 [13:23] sorry for being off topic [13:23] orestis_: version 20 is higher/newer than 3 [13:24] yo yo yo [13:24] 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] artypig78: not to be cofnused with version 4.2.0 vs 4.3.0 :) 20 is higher. [13:24] durre: yes sir [13:24] is plymouth reliant on GTK? [13:24] thanks Dr_Willis and llutz ;) [13:25] durre: shutoff mysql server first to be on safe side [13:25] 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] Dr_Willis: hello buddy [13:25] eein thankyou very much the work around worked [13:25] hay geekphreak [13:25] what I can do interesting on my ubuntu [13:25] help me what did i do wrong? [13:25] durre: sudo service mysqld stop [13:26] barberan: sorry? [13:26] 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] how do i use the command $sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy after it shows me all the devices? do i mark them all? === trogdor is now known as Guest8449 [13:26] 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] marienz: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/24328/ found this and wondered if the guy was talking crap [13:27] durre: use sudo , that will work too [13:27] physically_fit: you want to mark the HD you are booting from normally ie: /dev/sda NOT /dev/sda1 [13:27] durre: think it is mysqld [13:27] Anyone here use "projectM" visuals on a music player? If so, how can I set it up? [13:28] Dr_Willis, one disk i have win XP and linux on diff partitions [13:28] sudo service mysql stop stop: Job has already been stopped [13:28] ActionParsnip: ah, he's right, I missed that package [13:29] marienz: gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up :) [13:29] geekphreak: it says mysql is already stopped. mysqld was not recognized [13:29] Dr_Willis, it's just one disk [13:29] dang i love doing updates and dist upgrades from a local apt mirror [13:29] is there a upstart service manager that lets me choose services (like mysql.etc.) that should be started/not-started on boot ? [13:29] durre: well thats good then , try uninstalling now or do sudo dpkg -r --purge package [13:29] hello [13:29] SandGorgon: bum may do it [13:29] SandGorgon: No, unfortunately not [13:29] !hi | Stavros [13:29] 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] 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] how can i list all the upstart jobs that run on startup? [13:29] SandGorgon: I'm pretty sure that's still controlled through the sysv compatibility layer [13:29] ...in verbose mode can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUnc2iBeXmw. Any ideas? [13:30] !oem [13:30] 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] Upstart has no front-end [13:30] Stormcr0w: do you eventually get a desktop? [13:30] 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] Stavros: initctl list [13:30] ActionParsnip: Yes, I do. [13:30] So if that's what you want, you will have to wait. The devs are working on one. [13:30] 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. === Test is now known as Guest51500 === zand_ is now known as xand [13:30] SandGorgon: Sysv-rc-conf is for SysV services, not upstart jobs. It has no effect on upstart. [13:30] BobMarley: nah, command line is fine [13:30] durre: just use the -r , it should work [13:31] 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] jpds: that lists all of them :/ [13:31] 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] marienz: hmm, so how can i prevent one from starting at startup? [13:31] Stavros: that depends on why it is getting started. [13:31] marienz: and how can i see that? :P [13:31] Stavros: which job is it? [13:31] all scripts in /etc/init are upstart [13:31] BobMarley, what I meant was that _earlier_ I used sysv-rc-conf [13:31] Stavros: I'm not very good at this yet, but I may be able to figure ito ut. [13:31] 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] marienz: mongodb, but i need to know generally [13:31] 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 [13:32] BobMarley: hmm, where is this conf file? [13:32] 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] 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] durre: , please do restart bud [13:32] Stavros: /etc/init [13:32] BobMarley: since it's event-driven, i'm trying to find all the events and remove them, but hmm [13:32] ah, let me check [13:32] 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. [13:33] 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] ah, there it is, thanks [13:33] marienz: indeed, looks like it, thanks [13:33] 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] 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] however, the command line doesn't have any "start not on " [13:33] Stavros: (the "start on" line, as mentioned by BobMarley) [13:33] it only has "stop on" which will probably create a "stop on" line under the "start on" line [13:33] isn't this a bit odd? [13:33] physically_fit: did you read the link for grub2? [13:33] guys any problems with lucid? should i install ;) [13:34] geekphreak, no, i'll scroll up [13:34] Stavros: wait, what? [13:34] optimus_t: sure go for it [13:34] ActionParsnip: This is my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/XiQvZKAH [13:34] !grub2 | physically_fit [13:34] 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] Stavros: where do you see a "stop on" commandline thing? [13:34] marienz: ah, i misunderstood, i thought "start on" was also a command-line command [13:34] apparently not and the only way to add events is to edit the config file, thanks [13:34] 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. [13:35] 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] Stavros: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/557177 [13:36] marienz: wtf [13:36] Stavros: so you *really* shouldn't manually mess with jobs unless you've read and understood the init script first. [13:36] marienz: isn't doing "start mongodb" the same as starting it on startup? [13:36] or does it hit this bug? [13:36] 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] Stavros: now the ones that are normally "start on runlevel [...]" I'm pretty sure you can still start/stop by hand. [13:37] 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] ActionParsnip: Test RAM for errors? Through the BIOS you mean? [13:37] marienz: i guess what i'm saying is, is "initctl start" exactly the same as "start"? [13:37] Stavros: just because it's in /etc/init/ apparently doesn't mean it's something you can safely start/stop [13:37] hmm [13:37] Stavros: I believe it is. [13:37] for startup scripts you can use update-rc.d foobar remove [13:37] Stormcr0w: no, its in the grub menua (hold shift at boot) [13:37] Stavros: (but you should check! upstart scares me and I haven't had a reason to really dig into it yet) [13:37] and it won't start during startup [13:38] I am a newbie: can any1 tell the command for upgrading to 10:04LTS? [13:38] thanks [13:38] thesheff17: that doesn't work with upstart, i think :/ [13:38] Maximo: sudo do-release-upgrade [13:38] ActionParsnip: Ah, ok, thanks. And download UBCD... [13:38] marienz: hmm, i will, thanks, all i need to stop is this db [13:38] theadmin: thanks alot [13:38] theadmin: hello sir [13:38] hmm.. in "/etc/init/mysql.conf" adding "start on (runlevel [!0123456])" will disable the job from starting up on boot [13:38] geekphreak: ohai [13:39] SandGorgon: that should work, yep [13:39] 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] Stavros, sigh... painful.. [13:40] :/ [13:40] ActionParsnip: Which drive test tool do you recommend from the UBCD? [13:40] marienz: they were in /etc/ with sysvinit as well. [13:40] theadmin: I didn't like it then either :) [13:41] marienz: that bug is terrifying in that the maintainer said "yeah, don't run it then [13:41] marienz: Well, a lot of stuff goes to /etc :D [13:41] Stavros: yes :( [13:41] 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 [13:42] yeah :/ [13:42] hmm interesting [13:42] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Hsfy9N4t [13:42] this the error i get when i try invoking ubuntuone-preferences [13:42] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Hsfy9N4t [13:42] 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] what th--- why is /dev/sda2 suddenly unmounted o_O [13:43] I've got a small question. How can I connect to my remote desktop on Ubuntu [13:43] ActionParsnip: Also, do you thing it might be a problem with Grub? [13:43] Stormcr0w: the CD has the main manufacturers tools on there, use the one for your make to low level test [13:43] so I have a Ubuntu machine and I want to connect towards it through remote desktop [13:43] 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] 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] Stormcr0w: could be but ive never messed with grub except to disable ipv6 [13:44] 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] ActionParsnip, you can disable ipv6 through sysctl.cnf.. just FYI [13:44] Draiden: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/share-your-ubuntu-desktop-using-remote-desktop.html [13:44] 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] 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] SandGorgon: i do it at kernel level in /etc/defaul/grub [13:44] admin: are you there? [13:44] Stormcr0w: remember to md5 test ;) [13:44] 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] ActionParsnip, Thanks a lot :) [13:45] marienz: from within Lucid? [13:45] Stormcr0w: for example. [13:45] ActionParsnip, is it more appropriate/effective that way ? [13:45] ActionParsnip: Indeed [13:45] Draiden: You might also want to take a look at TeamViewer, for simplicity's sake. [13:45] Stormcr0w: or off a livecd. "smartctl -t long" iirc (but check the manpage) and there are gui tools as well. [13:45] Maximo: Was that intended to go to me? :D [13:45] theadmin, yeah I know that app :) [13:45] 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] admin: I did the sudo do-release-upgrade and it says no upgrade available what is wrong? [13:45] thanks [13:45] Draiden: They have a Linux version, really worth a shot, i sezzit [13:45] Stormcr0w: the vast majority of drives support smart, and it usually does a pretty good job of testing (comparable to running drive-specific tools) [13:46] ActionParsnip, could you paste your config ? [13:46] SandGorgon: sure [13:46] Maximo: hm. sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade [13:46] admin: wanted to ugrade latest version. [13:46] Maximo: What is your current version? [13:46] marienz: I've found smartmontools on Synaptic [13:46] yeah, those :) [13:46] 8:10LTS [13:46] how do I make gvim to put TABs after { symbol, when I am wring C code ? [13:46] Maximo: 8.04 or 8.10? [13:46] marienz: Which contain smartctl [13:46] SandGorgon: http://pastebin.com/s3kRnnyu [13:47] Maximo: 8.10 is not LTS, it's EOL as well. [13:47] Stormcr0w: yes [13:47] the last LTS [13:47] Maximo: The last is 10.04 [13:47] before that on [13:47] before that one [13:47] Maximo: hardy 8.04 [13:47] correct [13:47] Maximo: do you use desktop or server [13:48] Maximo: I see, so 8.04 "Hardy Heron", me guesses. Hm. I'm unsure, never did LTS => LTS updates [13:48] desktop [13:48] ActionParsnip, thanks [13:48] Maximo: I'm pretty sure the release notes cover upgrading. [13:48] Maximo: upgrades for 8.04 won't be enabled till later this month [13:48] Maximo .. no upgrade is there ? check again :-) [13:48] oh [13:48] ok [13:49] Maximo: under synaptic you canchoose to upgrade from LTS>LTS I'm not at Ubuntu right now so search for your self [13:49] admin: should be a warning automatically once is out [13:49] 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] ok [13:49] Maximo: I'm pretty sure there is, but I don't have a hardy system around to check. [13:49] !upgrade | Maximo [13:49] Maximo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [13:49] Maximo: It IS out, maybe updates are not ready. [13:49] zvvacet [13:49] okay [13:49] Maximo: you can add a -c to the command to force the upgrade [13:50] Maximo: would suggest clean install imo [13:50] ChogyDan: I am a newbie can you write the command for me please -----> [13:50] thanks [13:50] SandGorgon: makes name resolution take 0ms rather than 50ms [13:50] to force it [13:50] upgrade [13:50] Maximo: upgrade-manager -c [13:50] ChogyDan: will need sudo too ;) [13:50] ChogyDan: That'd be update-manager [13:50] okay let me try that now. [13:51] thanks [13:51] hi [13:51] ActionParsnip: Wrong. Update-manager uses some gksu-ish authenication layer when you click on check/install buttons [13:51] marienz: I am afraid these tools will not apply to me as the drive is an external USB (enclosure SATA) [13:51] ActionParsnip, do u have stuff in ur default/grub as well? I dont see it on the paste [13:51] aye, I'm terrible !! Maximo: gksu update-manager -c [13:51] geekphreak: will need to save on it the disk [13:52] marienz: If it had been internal, SMART would work, but as an external, it throws an error message about its not being supported [13:52] ChogyDan: thanks alot [13:52] guys, i have just installed ubuntu 10.4 inside linux... after rebooting i get this error message find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /bootmgr Error 15: File not found ... and when i press enter it redirects me to GRUB4DOS 0.4.4... any idea how to fix this? [13:52] please help [13:52] SandGorgon: sure [13:52] #grub2 [13:52] Stormcr0w: ahh. Very recent versions of smartctl have some support for smart through usb, but it may not support the one you have. [13:52] be right back let me try all that... [13:52] Stormcr0w: apologies, I had missed that bit of information. [13:52] !grub2 [13:52] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

I see u play around with swappiness.. might I also suggest tinkering around with vm.overcommit_memory and vm.overcommit_ratio. I had better utilization of my RAM [13:54] theadmin: That IS the message. The first part is allright then i fucks up.

[13:55] gharz: boot to live cd and modify your /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib [13:55] SandGorgon: suggest away :) [13:56] ActionParsnip: let me check that... thanks [13:56] gharz: you will need to hack out the options giving you grief. I suggest you duplicate the line and comment one out so you can retain the original [13:57] is there a way to prevent openoffice writer from flashing the cursor each time i type something? [13:57] SandGorgon: what values do you suggest? [13:57] Hi, I have some troubles upgrading ubuntu. Here ist my main.log: http://nopaste.info/6a110c1371.html [13:58] hi does anyone know how i can change system-wide proxy?

Things dont slow down.. they just fail if I get out of memory... cue to close my browser then. love it for my rails dev work [14:00] Hi Helpers, I've just plugged my webcam in for the first time and it appears to be a purple tinge to the picture, anyone know of the best app to monitor/adjust webcam settings?

[14:06] imanc, assuming u have synaptics.. install gsynaptic [14:07] sasori2501: indeed I am, have been for months [14:07] ActionParsnip: does it have the option of siwtching desktop, like 9.04 does??? [14:07] sasori2501: if youtell me where it is I can check for you [14:08] ActionParsnip: System>preferences>swithc desktop mode [14:08] at least that is how it works on 9.04 [14:08] hi, I got an issue with rythmnbox I can't manage the song controls (forward,backward, play and pause) how can I fix this ? thans [14:08] is there any particular way of forcing notification panel icons to be transparent?

[14:21] That would be the way to fix it, but why did it do that on the first place : no idea [14:21] I changed the pointer it doesnt change [14:21] In terminal I put 'env LANG=nb_NO.ISO-8859-1 gnome-terminal --disable-factory' to open up a new terminal with my preferred char-coding. I have norwegian language support, yet I get the error msg: '(process:2711): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.' Do I have to install a separate library or something? [14:21] what do you think of lighting? [14:21] or would you suggest something else? [14:22] can anybody help me? i got got speed problems with my wlan connection. i already disabled ipv6 but i still have problems [14:22] Gal: I tried changing the pointer it doesnt change [14:22] EgYPaRaDoX: then I don't know what to tell you === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening [14:23] a bug? [14:23] @noobdude: what is your spped in kbps? [14:23] Gal: should I report this bug, if so how? [14:23] Come to talk about that, is there any way to measure connection speed in Ubuntu? [14:23] EgYPaRaDoX: I've seen that as well, I didn't find any solution though I'm afraid. [14:23] EgYPaRaDoX: You can. Most probably it's just the GNOME, so... "ubuntu-bug ubuntu-desktop" [14:23] ~60 kbps when it should normally be at 420 kbps [14:23] EgYPaRaDoX: You can report it, but you will have to wait a bit, it's not a critical one [14:24] 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] Stormcr0w: where did you say the latency was again? can you see it in dmesg? [14:25] 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] Stormcr0w: I haven't really been following along, just wanted to mention smartctl when drive checking came up [14:25] theadmin: in the latter case, you can use sites like speedtest.net, as long as you have flash in your browser [14:25] Gal: I belive its not critical , yet annoying [14:25] believe* [14:25] marienz: Not really. It comes before that. However, in dmesg you can see a couple of cannot probe smb1 errors [14:25] allquixotic: Well, i know that. Console browsers don't really usually have flash so I have to use Firefox and the likes [14:25] marienz: Sorry. I was wondering, is there a way to locate the DVD-RW's UUIDs? === general is now known as Guest77381 [14:25] um [14:26] Stormcr0w: I have no idea, sorry. [14:26] theadmin: how did console browsers come into this discussion? are you not running X? [14:26] im having issues w/ my server. [14:26] allquixotic: Well, i'd really preffer the CLI ways over X-ish ones :D [14:26] hello...i need recommendations for a vpn service for about 100 clients pptpd most of them below 2mb adsl connection...what cpu/ram/bandwidth i may need for that ? [14:26] In terminal I put 'env LANG=nb_NO.ISO-8859-1 gnome-terminal --disable-factory' to open up a new terminal with my preferred char-coding. I have norwegian language support, yet I get the error msg: '(process:2711): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.' Do I have to install a separate library or something? [14:27] i FINALLY got Sopme video support (i nee dto install latest drivers for nviudia cause even on my friends 1month old Monitor it goes outta range.) [14:27] EgYPaRaDoX: I know :D Just report it, but I don't think that's gonna be fixed soon, even if it will be fixed [14:27] but now i need to change my network settings. [14:27] but i cant get to the Network Manager. [14:27] They still have to work on the ATI problem :D [14:27] 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] did anybody else have an unpleasant upgrade to 10.04? [14:28] allquixotic: I see. [14:28] i did w/ Beta 2 to final. [14:28] i basicly had to redownload the enire Distro -_- + now this issue. [14:28] theadmin: if you just want to see how many bits your NIC or wifi chip can handle, the easiest way is to make a direct connection to another computer in your house with a known-good configuration and send a randomly generated 1GB file or so [14:28] ouch [14:28] and i thought it was a pain it made my firefox and touchpad stop working [14:28] allquixotic: "another computer in your house"... where'd i get that from. [14:28] and i dont wanna see network traffic >_> I just need to change to a static IP [14:29] Hi all, does anyone know how to find a DVD drive's UUID? The drive fails to automount and I would like to add it to fstab [14:29] allquixotic, wouldn't using iperf be easier? :) [14:30] anyone know how to get the notifications icon to flash for mentions (or do those count as messages)? [14:30] can anybody help me? i got got speed problems with my wlan connection. i already disabled ipv6 but i still have problems [14:30] amabo: What client? [14:31] amabo: you mean with xchat? [14:31] 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] 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.

[15:11] amabo: hello. i know a couple commands. not sure of the one to just log out. but to shutdown the computer, it's 'sudo shutdown'. to restart the computer, it's 'sudo reboot' [15:11] noobdude: what wifi adapter are you using? [15:12] onetinsoldier: sudo reboot -now [15:12] onetinsoldier: thanks! i'm looking for logout though :) [15:12] amabo: roger [15:12] ubuntuaddicted, what should do to the desktop issue? it worked when I restarted. but sometimes it goes wrong [15:12] amabo, use dbus [15:12] greezmunkey: netgear wg111v3 [15:12] airtonix: dbus... wha...

That'd be "sudo service gdm stop" [15:14] theadmin, concept of using dbus does not require the use of sudo [15:15] theadmin: yeah.. still waking up here. ;) === okidokia__ is now known as okidokia [15:15] Hm.

[15:16] airtonix, i'm working with vnc atm [15:17] zetheroo1, maybe because its not opensource ?

[16:19] tapan_chugh: run: sudo lshw -C sound | grep product websearch the line to find guides [16:19] nikitis: I think it is better to install the nvidia driver through the normal package manager though, unless you absolutely need the newest nvidia driver [16:20] anyone able to get iwl3945 wifi to work in WPA environments at all since about 9.04? I keep getting "Association request to the driver failed" + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/429246 [16:20] i just opened grub, types find /boot/grub/stage1, not found [16:20] Hi All. When I connect all my drives to my server, then install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server grub won't install right. I think it's because it doesn't handle the # of drives in the system right. If I disconnect hardware, it works again. I have 29 SCSI devices. [16:20] juanca: what host OS do you use? [16:20] nikitis: If you use the installer from nvidia.com, you have to recompile the driver manually every time you upgrade your kernel. [16:20] jabirali, i need it [16:20] The Ubuntu Update manager that should show I've got new updates as some kind of indicator, or that should show that I should reboot because of kernel upgrades, what could be the reason it doesn't come up at all? [16:20] stodorovic: yes, mine works in 9.10. i havent upgraded that machine to 10.04 yet [16:20] anyone knows how to get the source for "ubuntu-text" plymouth plugin? [16:20] jabirali, i [16:20] jabirali, i'm fine with that. [16:20] nikitis: OK. You haven't upgraded the kernel since you last installed the nvidia driver then? [16:21] kerebrus: do you know how to get the envyng-qt program working in ubuntu 10.04? [16:21] yenoh: apt-get source [16:21] <_pg__> grub how i loath thee [16:21] I just installed the netbook edition of 10.04 on my hp mini 311...is there anyway to set it up so that when I close the lid the laptop does not suspend? I looked in the power management settings...I want the netbook to stay on when I close the lid [16:21] any body here know anything about UNIX systems [16:21] andeeeuk sudo aptitude install envyng-qt install it then restart comp [16:21] pleze [16:21] i heard it doesnt work on the latest ubuntu release [16:21] jabirali, would upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 count? I think it's using a new kernel [16:21] !ot | besa [16:21] besa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [16:21] maco: we don't have the plugin source, there's the binary only [16:21] jabirali, i had manually compiled it in 9.10 successfully. [16:21] besa: UNIX in what way, why not ask your real question [16:22] maco: uname -r && modinfo iwl3945 | grep ^version: please? Also do you run gnome or NetowkrManager? [16:22] yenoh: even in the source package? O_O [16:22] maco: yes, I looked [16:22] stodorovic: i use kde [16:22] 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] I would hop someone here knows about unix...ha [16:22] jabirali, usually when a new kernel comes out i kill gdm, type sudo sh nvidia-pakage.run and it auto uninstalls and reinstalls new one [16:22] private_meta: you mean the icon in the panel? do you have update-notifier in your startup applications? [16:22] hi, i have just installed ubuntu 10.04 using the install inside windows option... i can now boot back in to windows fine but when i try to boot Ubuntu i get somthing like "GRUB>" is there some way of fixing this (i have windows 7 if thats any help)... anyone that knows the answer whisper me please and thank you [16:23] jabirali, i did that already, but they are not working. [16:23] jabirali, this is why I need help [16:23] stodorovic: which bit of that output do you want? [16:23] can i install ubuntu onto a blank hard drive using virtualbox? [16:23] and then boot it directly [16:23] I am using pidgin and how do I make pidgin now to show my IP address? [16:23] helo: Uhm, no, you'd do a real install for that. [16:23] nikitis: Yeah, that's the correct procedure alright... Hmm. What is the output of this command: "sudo modprobe nvidia" ? [16:23] My fresh Lucid install won't connect to my Ubuntu One account. When Ubuntu One Preferences tries to log in through the browser, the site recognizes my machine, asks if I want to add it, and when I add the machine, it returns a "can't connect" error. I don't have a clue how to troubleshoot this. Where should I start? [16:23] can anyone help at all? [16:23] maco: hmm. Well I cant even connect if i dont run gnome or kde when following the WPA guides. dmesg just seems to indicate that i cannot associate at all. the bit that says version: 1.2.26ks (on mine) [16:23] Wiggly: you may have to manually run grub stuff to get booted. I havent done this myself but know it can be done. Did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [16:23] theadmin: no cd, no ubuntu (for usb creator) [16:23] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514976 <== I'm having this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server. Any suggestions? [16:23] my university has a wired and wireless network , but i can t access the windows wired shares when i am on wifi [16:24] jabirali, went to next $ [16:24] stodorovic: so /etc/network/interfaces configured with wpa_supplicant syntax doesnt work? [16:24] 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] jabirali, no output, just went to next prompt [16:24] 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] while on windows, i can , by directly entering the shared name in run dialog box ( \\sharename0 [16:24] Got a problem just did a fresh install of 10.04 server, decided to change up my disk schema, and now my computer sees the MBR/Grub on the first disk but it is really on the 3rd, how do i wipe the mbr/grub from the first and 2nd disk? [16:24] nikitis: That's kind of weird. It means that the nvidia driver is now loaded without problems... [16:25] stodorovic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/428357 [16:25] jabirali, yes, this is why i'm here [16:25] 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] because i'm not a noob, and I need real help ;) [16:25] I am using pidgin and how do I make pidgin not to show my IP address? [16:25] coll: boot to live cd and chroot, you can then run: sudo apt-get -f install [16:25] jabirali, i was using an xorg.conf before [16:25] itsme2010: where? in irc ? === jexmex_ is now known as jexmex [16:26] stodorovic: but editing the interfaces file can let you test easier [16:26] itsme2010: ask for a cloak in #freenode [16:26] jabirali, i don't understand how ubuntu works without an xorg.conf file anymore [16:26] did anyone get the ati drivers working with ubuntu 10.04? [16:26] stodorovic: to rule out network manager problems [16:26] ActionParsnip, following that, my data will remain intact? [16:26] 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] maco: that paste is a bunch of porn links.... :/ [16:26] erUSUL: Right click on my username and click on info. You will get my IP address. [16:26] coll: what data? [16:26] files that i have [16:26] stodorovic: ew. sorry. 367 [16:26] jabirali, yeah, when i logout it crashes and I get the black screen with the option screen to run in low graphics mode. [16:27] itsme2010: ok again ask for a cloak in #freenode :) [16:27] maco: :) thanks [16:27] 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] I searched for eclipse in the software center and i got the following two results on top: 1) Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE (eclipse) 2) Eclipse (Integrated developmet enviroment Eclipse). which is the diference? [16:27] stodorovic: im copying the url from the other laptop's screen [16:27] Hey, usually how long is a longest file transfer over a LAN? [16:27] is there any way to downgrade x11 in 10.04 to an older, functional version? [16:27] bobbyyu: transfer of what? [16:27] what will happen if i cancell a install process in ubuntu software center? will that resume later? [16:27] erUSUL: What if I want to chat in other than freenode and what is cloak? [16:27] Say a 911MB file [16:27] !dwongrade | melter [16:28] !downgrade | melter [16:28] melter: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [16:28] bobbyyu: what speed is the link? [16:28] I don't know. 10/100 [16:28] ubottu: i don't want to downgrade ubuntu [16:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:28] maco: hmm interesting. Your kernel is slightly older than mine. [16:28] jabirali, how would i go about telling it to use xorg.conf? [16:28] bobbyyu: and is it consistantly 10/100 or does the speed cange in places? [16:28] Is ext4 fully supported in Lucid or should I stick to 3 [16:28] can i access wired shares using wireless ? [16:28] jabirali, i prefer it anyways as I can manually customize nvidia features [16:28] stodorovic: yeah i dont use that computer much so havent installed updates [16:28] ActionParsnip: MD% is 100% [16:28] I think it ranges [16:28] bobbyyu: 911MB would normally go 1-1.2MB/sec for 10Mbit, 10-12MB/sec for 100Mbit, and 30-125MB/sec for 1Gbit. [16:28] DarkStar1: It's fully supported ever since Karmic :/ [16:28] 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] MD5* [16:29] DarkStar1: stick with ext3 if you can [16:29] theadmin: thanks [16:29] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=514976 <== I'm having this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server. Any suggestions? [16:29] itsme2010: you can use something like tor too (if the irc network allows it) [16:29] 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] melter: why? [16:29] ActionParsnip, will that format the filesystem and reinstall the entire OS? [16:29] (if you wanna meet the man behind ubuntu, goto #ubuntu-classroom, he's answering questions) [16:29] Wiggly: good, remember to check BEFORE using the data. I'm guessing by the time you only just checked it now [16:29] hi people [16:29] itsme2010: try to find out my ip and you will se what a cloak is ...) [16:29] nikitis: there should be some X.log.0 or however it was called. and check dmesg|tail [16:29] stodorovic: right [16:29] coll: no, it will just continue the upgrade [16:29] ActionParsnip: lol yes but either way its fine :P === Moonwalker is now known as Destine [16:29] nibbier: nikitis /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:30] i want to know how to back up my linux system [16:30] So how long would the lowest possible setting be? [16:30] ActionParsnip, thanks. [16:30] Wiggly: thought so, MD5 test first in future, bad ISO wil make a bad install [16:30] for a 911MB file? [16:30] !backup | besa [16:30] besa: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [16:30] is there any way to tell what sets of patches were applied to a vanilla kernel to make it a ubuntu -xx-generic kernel ? [16:30] my system is xubuntu [16:30] besa: what do you mean? [16:30] bobbyyu: about 15 mins is my guess [16:30] nikitis: One moment, I'll go check my config ;) [16:30] how do i move window buttons to right? [16:30] Because I'm getting over an hour [16:30] Why doesn't my fresh Lucid install connect to my Ubuntu One account? When Ubuntu One Preferences tries to log in through the browser, the site recognizes my machine, asks if I want to add it, and when I add the machine, it returns a "can't connect" error. I don't have a clue how to troubleshoot this. Where should I start? [16:30] this is so irritating [16:30] erUSUL: Thank you for the information. [16:30] !controls | qwerty_guy [16:30] qwerty_guy: 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 [16:30] ActionParsnip: thanx noted for future [16:30] itsme2010: no problem. [16:31] itsme2010: asking fo a cloak is quick and easy [16:31] erUSUL, says Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module. Please see the system's kernel log for additional error messages [16:31] bobbyyu: http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/tips/filexfer.htm gives some speed numbers [16:31] anybody? [16:31] nikitis: dmesg | grep -i nvidia [16:31] twig111: is it fully updated? [16:31] qwerty_guy: i know of theme that has them on the right by default.. the Shiki-Brave theme [16:32] does anyone knows how to discover where grub2 is installed? [16:32] please make the right side default next time [16:32] its so irritating [16:32] erUSUL: Do we have any command to ask for a cloak [16:32] ActionParsnip: ......WHY is Thunderbird called "Shredder"???? >>;;; [16:32] qwerty_guy: i know of theme that has them on the right by default.. the Shiki-Brave theme. do --> apt-cache search shiki-brave [16:32] erUSUL, says nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [16:32] rafaelsoaresbr: sudo fdisk -l the asterisked partition will be the one [16:32] CloudLevi: its pre-release [16:33] ActionParsnip: I think so. It hasn't worked since I installed the RC, and I've fully updated it since release. [16:33] what mean by Happy hake! [16:33] how can i broadcast audio from my pc to my stereo wirelessly????????????? [16:33] onetinsoldier, i already moved them to the right [16:33] ActionParsnip: 3.0 is too... [16:33] ActionParsnip: the one on the machine is 9.10. can i just download the 10.04 and boot off that one? [16:33] qwerty_guy: ok, roger [16:33] * helo disapproves of the word "taint" [16:33] itsme2010: just go to #freenode and ask (politely) for one. a " Hi network staffers i would like to request an unaffiliated cloak for myself; thank you very much in advance » shoud be enough [16:33] nikitis: I think this is the relevant part: Section "ServerFlags" [16:33] Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" [16:33] EndSection [16:33] CloudLevi: http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/3.0a3/ [16:33] i guess no one can help me [16:33] qwerty_guy: this is no place for complaints - no developpers here [16:34] coll: sure if you want [16:34] ActionParsnip: named Shredder, I mean...they're both called Shredder...when the one I downloaded straight from Mozilla was Thunderbird... =/ (I downloaded it but I don't know how to install it- [16:34] erUSUL, http://fpaste.org/cEOD [16:34] gunbert: I'm using Ubuntu desktop as host and Server as guest (Lucid) [16:34] itsme2010: you have to set up your nick (register it etc ...)

[16:34] I'm using Ubuntu desktop as host and Server as guest (Lucid) [16:34] ActionParsnip: oh crap... seems it wasn't "not installed" before...it just doesn't WORK with the Indicator Applet!!! [16:34] maco: i'm installing 2.6.31-16-generic and will reboot with thaty [16:34] ActionParsnip: Whoa. Now I have 58 MB of updates waiting, and I just updated day before yesterday. I'll see if the updates fix it. [16:34] erUSUL: No I have't. So I am trying to setup one [16:35] CloudLevi: its alpha, it will have bugs. You could always run it with alltray ;) [16:35] stodorovic: and im installing updates. we'll see what happens :P [16:35] nikitis: dunno could be that you have to versions of the nvidia driver installed ? [16:35] !register | itsme2010 [16:35] itsme2010: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[16:35] guntbert, where can i get devs? [16:35] itsme2010: this is getting to offtopic. please "/join #freenode" more help there. thank you [16:35] i tried looking at a netflix video and it said streaming is not supported by your operating system [16:35] juanca: you can use the key to autocomplete nicks [16:35] nikitis: could you by the way also post /var/log/Xorg.log.0.old in pastebin? [16:36] nikitis: it all depends on how did you installed the drivers ... [16:36] erUSUL, manually [16:36] maco: :) [16:36] ActionParsnip: So if I install windows grub is not going to be overwritten. [16:36] ActionParsnip: All I want UbuntuOne for is for the music store. For everything else, I use Dropbox. Why would I use a file sync service that is bound to one OS? [16:36] nikitis: using the run from nvidia's site ? [16:36] CloudLevi: lets you run any app (except terminal afair) and it will minimise to the tray, you can also add some extra swithes to give a key combo to show / hise the app (sexy) [16:36] guntbert: thank you, how about my problem? [16:36] erUSUL, yes [16:36] ActionParsnip: I just want it to work with the indicator applet DXX [16:37] qwerty_guy: you *could* file a !bug - but as far as I know that has been a decision "from the top" - so not likely to change - and very easy to change yourself :-) [16:37] nikitis: only that ? you did not used System>admin>hardware drivers or installed nvidia-glx or anything else ? [16:37] haai [16:37] i am not getting volume control icon on the taskbar.any solution? [16:37] Q about panel buttons: [16:37] erUSUL, yes i promise, I always manually kill gdm, then run as root nvidia-package.run [16:37] then reload [16:37] can you say like "run as a bash script" without writing a real bash/shell script? [16:37] how do i wipe just mbr/grub from a disk? [16:37] erUSUL, except it didn't work this time [16:38] nikitis: if you only used the *.run you can uninstall it iirc with « sudo ./filename_etc_*.run --uninstall » or --remove [16:38] Whoopsies!! [16:38] rafaelsoaresbr: the windows installer will write its bootloader to the drive you install it to, if grub is there now, it will be lost when windows is done and will need to be reinstalled. The settings on the partition will still stand [16:38] grub stage1 doesnt exist.. what should i do [16:38] ? [16:38] I want to use the * notation of bash to denote which file the button needs to open with my program [16:38] -> a button with a custom command, lets say 'gedit /some/path/*.txt' [16:38] erUSUL, hmm would that work if i had two versions installed, but only have the later .run package still? [16:38] justin22885: huh? [16:38] juanca: please paste the output of ls -l /media/Chica/repos.vmdk [16:38] Bennit: try with zenity; install zenity, then do: gedit $(zenity --file-selection) [16:39] nikitis: well a new install of the run (i use it too) should clean up the older installs... never failed for me [16:39] psusi, i cant load ubuntu without having the installation USB plugged in [16:39] VCoolio: Why would one need to install Zenity? it's there by default [16:39] im trying to properly setup grub on the hdd so i wont need the usb drive anymore [16:39] erUSUL, okay i just uninstalled it according to the .run package [16:39] let me try and manually reinstall it [16:39] VCoolio: how do I specify my file then? just behind it? [16:39] theadmin: oh, that's since 10.04 then? didn't know [16:40] justin22885: follow the instructions to recover grub after installing windows ... [16:40] VCoolio: It was there in Karmic too, dunno [16:40] !grub2 | justin22885 [16:40] justin22885: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:40] Gal: may I pm you? ) [16:40] Bennit: the zenity thing will be a file chooser dialog like 'save as' or 'open file' in an app [16:40] Any ideas why ubuntu 10.04 will not let me log in [16:40] ???

[17:27] there seems to have been a problem with the upgrade [17:27] 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] that pretty much sux [17:27] hey all, how can i disable tapping the corner of my touchpad from pasting? [17:27] noobert, so you need to go more for userbility and look for a lightweight gui [17:27] wrapster system->language spport [17:28] z3r0-c001: sudo apt-get update only updates the database of apt - it doesn't change anything else in your system - after that you need sudo apt-get update [17:28] i run puppy linux off of flash, but i cant have wireless support with it [17:28] Stormcr0w, I understand. Just a quick question, I can access all of the information on my partition with a password. Does this mean that anybody could come along to my PC, insert a Live CD and browse through the data on my partition without any authentication? [17:28] and puppy linux is so gay lokkin [17:28] SealedWithAKiss, yes [17:28] Stormcr0w, without* [17:29] sealed therefor u use encryption [17:29] SealedWithAKiss: if you didn't encrypt it: yes [17:29] SealedWithAKiss, only way around that is take steps like prevent booting from cd securing pc case and hard drive encryption [17:29] wulfy, doesn't that strike you as worrying? [17:29] how long should the full upgrade take [17:29] noobert: compile e17 from svn, will take a while; or try to pimp openbox with xcompmgr [17:29] SealedWithAKiss, indeed but thats the nature of the beasr [17:29] beast^ [17:29] SealedWithAKiss: Not particularly. We are talking about access to a physical device. [17:29] SealedWithAKiss: when someone has physical access to your computer you'll need some very crafty security measures to keep them out [17:30] 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] Hey, where'd the "insight" package go in 10.04? [17:30] Hi folks.I solved my window manager problem by installing fusion-icon, which allowed me to reload the manager.

[17:30] no support forum, think thats what it should be called. Fundamental errors with graphics cards in ubuntu [17:30] Stormcr0w, I understand. It's a unneccesary security risk anyway.

I think it has an intel.. g4500 HD or something like that [17:32] 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.

[18:16] helo: yeah most people know wine kinda is an emulator:p [18:16] AbuMaia, fine [18:16] helo it doesn't emulate anything, it's just a reverse engineer job of various windows APIs [18:17] datacrusher: yeah the grub2 website helops [18:17] helps* [18:17] datacrusher: there is a /boot/grub/grub.cfg now.. not all the settings from grub 1 are available in grub 2 [18:17] CogitoErgoSam nope [18:17] what mean telnet 127.0.0.1 6566 [18:17] Trying 127.0.0.1...

Well, virtual machine [18:18] callumacrae: http://www.whatsmyip.com/ maybe your friend [18:18] callumacrae: open a terminal and type ifconfig [18:19] AbuMaia, another question actually the executable file is in home/crclient folder named crclient .. why i have to always enter the crclient folder by cd the call by using ./crclient . I mean what does this ./ mean and isn't there a way to run it right from the home folder ie without using the cd command .. like ./crclient/crclient -u fails .... please help [18:19] callumacrae: You can also see your IP with "ifconfig". If you're on a lan behind a router though it won't show your public IP, and you'll need to use that site darkstar1 mentioned to find it [18:19] hi [18:19] Slart, im on this wiki, on the middle bu now [18:19] looking forward to change grub image [18:19] DarkStar1: Are you back now or never left?

I think it's the "ln" command [18:20] haavaros: sshfs works for me in karrmic, lucid, and about every release ive ever tried it in [18:20] Stormcr0w: It would seem so. Though I'm back bearing problems [18:20] simar: typing ./ in front of a script tells the system that its looking for that file in the current directory. Otherwise it will look in the system's bin directories like /usr/bin [18:20] DarkStar1: Oh dear. Such as? [18:20] Dr_Willis: Ok, thx.

[18:24] DarkStar1: When you access Software sources, are you asked for admin pass? [18:24] Stormcr0w, then I replace my old one with the one on my new installation? [18:24] SealedWithAKiss: I would assume so [18:24] _pg__: i guess not [18:24] SealedWithAKiss: For more information, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient [18:25] simar: You can use ~ to create a path that always starts in the home directory [18:25] haavaros: you could always put it in rc.local to start it at boot time [18:25] haavaros: it looks to be an older post but might be functional.. fusefs is already in ubuntu I believe. [18:25] simar: same way, just give the path to the file: ~/crclient/crclient [18:25] simar: here would be the path for your app: ~/crclient/crclient [18:25] haavaros: http://www.debuntu.org/2006/04/27/39-mounting-a-fuse-filesystem-form-etcfstab [18:25] can anyone help me with my hard drive issue?

[18:27] i like ubuntu 10.04 [18:27] simar: Another option if you want it accessible all over is to add a symbolic link to your app to /usr/bin [18:27] i really really like it [18:27] xyz, : I do agree with you [18:27] anyone here read lifehacker?

[18:31] thebruce: grub2 by default yes. [18:31] 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] hardware is working fine, no issues when tested in Windows [18:31] simar: abumaia's command should make the link for you: "ln -s /home/username/crclient/crclient /usr/bin/crclient" [18:31] Dr_Willis, grub2?

It makes an attempt at mounting them, but for the system it's still like they are not there. [18:36] Stormcr0w: check dmesg output for some clues perhaps [18:36] simar: Once you have created the symbolic link correctly you'd just use "crclient" from anywhere [18:37] simar: making the link *should* let you run the ap the way you describe [18:37] cancelerx: whats the problem?

[18:40] 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 ..

But what makes Ubuntu so "sensitive" to their input that they cannot be mounted, while they work fine under other OSs?

Up-to-date packages, using ATI's proprietary drivers. Only thing I can find is http://pastebin.com/i2D19Rrd in /var/log/auth.log, but I can't find any information on the error. [18:45] gmatt: I'm gonna install Mint on my laptop, since my current installation seems broken [18:45] Brightfrank: That link from ubot should answer some of the more common questions about UNR, if it doesn't let us know [18:45] gmatt: Just 600 MB or so for the CD iso [18:45] ok [18:46] Dr_Willis: Well, I can appreciate that with respect to the second drive, which I have had for ages. However the other one is practically new. 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] ah ok, I'm trying to install Jotify from :http://jotify.felixbruns.de/ [18:46] BrightFrank: Be sure to check the link on the page to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [18:46] haavaros, i looked at mint, but want xfce 64-bit, and they don't offer it [18:46] gmatt: Ah, ok === peter_ is now known as Guest35946 [18:46] I created a working USB bootable drive.

One specifically addresses the EEEPC and might help.

[18:51] another question please. I have a nvidia gforce 9500 but my graphics are slow in Ubuntu 10.4, what's wrong with it? [18:51] <_pg__> anyone? were dyin here [18:51] gmatt: How about xubuntu 9.10, does that come in 64bit? [18:51] Stevinko: What's the problem?

[18:52] DarkStar1: Ok then :) [18:52] BrightFrank, I also am sure that some of the cheap flash media out there now is just as bad as cheap CD for ISOs [18:52] DarkStar1: well, i could try to explain it here, but i already posted my hole situation at forums, could i just give u a link? [18:52] costre: that sure did it! thanks man :) [18:52] DarkStar1: i am tired of explaining one problem over and over again, without any help :( [18:52] Stevinko: sure [18:53] DarkStar1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1471088 thank you, if you need any more info just ask [18:53] I was wondering if anyone here has had any problems during the boot menu (10.04) with "/dev/null" or if anyone would know a solution if i gave more of a description [18:53] chetic np [18:53] Rave1, can u remind me how to do checksums? [18:53] CogitoErgoSam, Actually I want to make the procedure of logging on to the server automatically . this will simplify the logging on procedure and my friends will like the ubuntu more ... which they complain that is much more command based ...!! [18:54] BrightFrank: md5sum [18:54] ok [18:54] thanks [18:54] Is anybody here using firefox under lucid lynx? [18:54] sound doesn't seem to work [18:54] Stevinko: gimme a min or so to read it [18:54] Hi [18:54] why when I put my usb stick ubuntu on 10.4, it is still called a different name? [18:54] Anyone know of a tool to batch resize images? [18:55] I am copying files from one USB hd to another and my Karmic gets really slow. What should I check? [18:55] Hmm. [18:55] DarkStar1: okey, its not like i am going anywhere (i am trying to find a solution for a long time) [18:55] id34l: what is its name, and what does ubuntu call it? [18:55] Arimil: imagemagick [18:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/535316 suggests purging plymouth but uh, plymouth is unpurgeable. [18:55] simar: You can set connections to start automatically through the GUI pretty easily; go to System->Preferences->Network Connections, find the one you want, press the edit button, and under the name of it will be a check box that says "Connect automatically" [18:55] Can't remove it at all, because removing it takes the whole system with it.

[18:56] brontosaurusrex: i'd guess etx2 would do the trick in any case [18:56] Pulse audio?

[18:57] Hi. Can I perform clean "only-essentials" install of ubuntu from minimal cd? [18:57] hmw: ok, can i format on winxp (cos thats the only box i have on that place) or ... ? [18:57] CogitoErgoSam, Please let me know that .. Thats the major issue to me??? [18:57] meatbun: a little more, according to Phoronix's tests the other day [18:57] id34l: it sounds like it's using the serial of the chip or something. I had a similar name with an sd card, but ubuntu always used the same set of numbers/letters for that card, it didn't change names on the card [18:57] Arimil: man convert/mogrify [18:57] Patrinstar: The weather applet can do, can't it? [18:58] mguy: i see [18:58] <_pg__> will donate firstborn for irc://irc.freenode.net/#grub help- i tried mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/; grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda and got an error about forcing and blocklists [18:58] anyone familiar with oracle in ubuntu ??

[18:58] acura: thanks [18:58] simar: Worst case scenario you can just add the crclient to your main menu [18:58] rocket16, it just says current condition [18:58] Patrinstar: I agreem [18:58] where are the official checksum values? [18:59] mguy: i am thinking of upgrading to new ubuntu :( [18:59] Stevinko: I assume WUBI is another bootloader? [18:59] Sound wont work on firefox... [18:59] mguy: my 9.x ubuntu too slow [18:59] meatbun: on 7 of my computers, Ubuntu always took much more than windows XP (800 MHz - 3 GHz P4). On a P4 2.6 GHz Karmic seems to be about 25% slower [18:59] !wubi | DarkStar1 [18:59] DarkStar1: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:59] is there a channel specifically for desktop/graphical improvements and bugs? [18:59] CogitoErgoSam, ya but automation is the best... [18:59] can anyone tell me a good application i can use for forecasting weather, like 3 days are displayed. and that shows up in my task bar all the time????????? [18:59] meatbun: perhaps you have a bad video driver active, that may slow down ubuntu [18:59] Will upgrading to lucid from karmic cause any problem? [18:59] simar: I know, I'm figuring out the best script for you. Just might take a few minutes though. [19:00] Patrinstar: Docky [19:00] hmw: karmic is 10.04? [19:00] I meant, direct upgrading? [19:00] Patrinstar: docky2 has this integrated [19:00] DarkStar1: wubi practically creates an "virtual" partition on existing windows partition, and install ubuntu inside (its the best solution when some1 doesnt want to reformat and create new partitions for linux) [19:00] Patrinstar: gnome-do and its weather docklet are quite good [19:00] ubottu: meh!! [19:00] rocket16: that depends on your hardware. I cant use Lucid on my PC currntly due to intel vga driver problems [19:00] meatbun: No, Karmic is 9.10 [19:00] CogitoErgoSam, ok === switchgirl_ is now known as switchgirl [19:00] jken146, Patrinstar docky2 is a next gen of gnome-do basically [19:00] DarkStar1: only down sid eof this is that disk performance is slightly reduced, but ubuntu runs like from native instalation [19:00] rocket16: I did just that and things got real weird for me. I don't think that's the most common experience, but anything is possible. Certainly worth it though [19:00] hmw: Oh, thanks [19:00] i added device entries to /etc/network/interfaces for the network setups i want to use (i don't use networkmanager), but they aren't being automatically started, despite "auto eth1" [19:00] i m going to the the new 10.x rocket16 [19:00] brontosaurusrex, what is docky exactly? [19:01] meatbun: Great, me too, :D [19:01] Patrinstar: a dock similar to mac's [19:01] meatbun: no, karmic is 9.10, but i guess, my expirience applies to lucid as well, even though it seems to be much faster (at least using it from the live cd is much faster here) [19:01] Hi. How can I specify options so that when I use 'service start' instead of ' -options ', 'service start' will just use those parameters that I specify without having to specify them each time? [19:01] brontosaurusrex, will it work for lucid? [19:01] Patrinstar: http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Main_Page [19:01] Rave1, where can I find the official checksum values?

So if you try to ssh your computer, that should send some data to the server, which should activate the server because of the activity of the network card (I guess). I never did that...

Perhaps it is something with sed or awk. I would write a PHP script in this case ;-) [19:25] 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] hi. does MySQL install 'php5-mysql', or PHP?

[19:44] 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] 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] There are P2P methods of streaming data but torrent isn't one of them [19:45] Hardrive with Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Lenny installed How do I find out which /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb6 is Ubuntu Hardy [19:45] dominicdinada: Okey, that was something new [19:45] yes mguy, 'we' had the video streaming working that way actually [19:45] jibadeeha: you are on the wrong channel. Go to #ubuntuone [19:45] mguy: thanks for your help [19:45] i think today marks the day i switch from ubuntu to opensuse, ladies and gentlemen [19:45] MrVestek: Ok. I did not follow the discussion, but I wonder why you cannot get a GUI with an intel card. [19:45] looks that there is no official package for nvidia drivers on 10.04 [19:45] I can get a GUI [19:45] But right now, there is no why to stream a torrentfile on the fly without downloading the hole thing? [19:45] but it's running in 'low graphics' mode [19:45] moes: There should be an /etc/debian file on the Lenny install [19:45] ActionParsnip, I have a 2nd ubuntu install, can I just use that one to sudo apt-get -f install ? [19:45] gmatt: I'm sorry. (just joking) [19:46] 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] linusoleander: no [19:46] it mentions some problem with agpgpart and drm or something like that [19:46] 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] Then I'll write my own app [19:46] Tom22: as long as you can chroot to the bad one, sure [19:46] 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] 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] Is it possible to downgrade my version of radeon-drivers using aptitude? [19:46] MrVestek: so you could try to unable the Kernel Mode Settings (kms) for a try... [19:46] shishire: the installer of Lucid Lynx has a nice feature: "guess keymap" - you could boot the live cd 10.04 [19:46] 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\ [19:47] ActionParsnip okay :) thanks, let me try [19:47] linusoleander: you will be a rich man [19:47] Could not update ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority [19:47] minimec, ok how do I do that? [19:47] gmatt: understandable. I like opensuse myself :-) [19:47] i don't know how to fix this [19:47] MrVestek: ... or force the card in PCI mode. I had to do that with an ATI card. Just a moment... [19:48] hi [19:48] greedo: remove the file, and re-log-in. [19:48] linusoleander: i dont think that the best way to go because torrents download random pieces at a time [19:48] 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] gmatt: wine regression? [19:48] i just read a post on the forum that a guy got it going easily, so i am all for it [19:48] maco: it keeps telling me i have a write fault or something similar [19:48] shishire: right alt is probably being altgr [19:48] Cheech: But it is possible to download everything in the corrent order [19:48] it's an integrated graphics card on a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop if that helps [19:48] How can I uninstall the Ubuntu WLAN manager in Ubuntu 10.04 so that I can reinstall it again? [19:48] maco: how can I change that [19:49] shishire: the layout options should let you configure whether right alt acts as a third level chooser (so you can type accents) [19:49] diddy: apt-get remove network-manager [19:49] right, but like the other guy said it will slow the overall torrent speed [19:49] maco, altgr = 3rd level? [19:49] shishire: yeah [19:49] 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] 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] MrVestek, but then how can I reinstall it after it is gone if I can not connect to the network? [19:49] 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] and that is going to make it a nightmare to watch [19:49] diddy: sure.  [19:49] i put lts on a usb and it boots moblin.. is it supposed to do this? [19:49] maco, ok, now I know how to fix it. thanks [19:49] diddy, well before you remove it download a .deb of the most recent network-manager [19:49] remove it and then reinstall from the .deb [19:50] or [19:50] apn: I'm moving a nfs drive [19:50] linusoleander: ideas for a torrent client are not really on topic here :) [19:50] Tom22: mount sda1 then run: sudo chroot /mount/point [19:50] mounting* [19:50] remove it and connect to your local network via the command line [19:50] <_pg__> grub help- i tried mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/; grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda and got an error about forcing and blocklists. i have a map of my partitions if that helps... [19:50] shishire: if you have a keymap that allows third level, like us international, itd mean you could hit altg+o and get ó ... in the keyboard settings click on whatever it says is your current layout, then below the box where its listing them there should be a button like "layout options" [19:50] MrVestek: Ok. This is the post for the radeon 9600... You would have to do the same with your driver. YOu can check that with lsmod i8* or i9* something and with lspci https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/413259/comments/30 [19:50] MrVestek, where can I download the latest network manager .deb? [19:50] guntbert: Okey, then I'll not spam the IRC [19:51] linusoleander: but there is #ubuntu-offtopic ....

If it is a partition, that can't be unmounted, use a live cd [19:51] mudassar: disk image file? are you talknig about virtual machines? [19:52] apn: I'm trying to do ldap auth [19:52] guntbert: yes [19:52] diddy, you could download it directly from the repos [19:52] apn: i do not have this problem with local users [19:52] oops mudassar sorry.. i misunderstood you [19:52] shishire: thatll bring up a window where you can do all the alt, windows key, ctrl, esc, caps lock... settings [19:52] Tom22: you need to specify the mount point [19:52] !mount | Tom22 [19:52] mudassar: what product? [19:52] maco: perfect! tyvm, never occurred to me that en-US might still contain an AltGr key. Not used to that. [19:52] Tom22: mount is used to attach devices to directories.

[19:54] mudassar: no idea sorry - but try to ask in ##xen [19:54] MrVestek, thx [19:54] hedin: set vm.swappiness low (assuming you have > 1Gb RAM. This will reduce writes to /swap [19:55] ActionParsnip, i got 8GB [19:55] ohhh my... is there a keyboard command to switch to a PM window in XChat? [19:55] Huh? Something weird just happened to me. [19:55] hedin: you can use vm.swappiness of 0 then [19:55] ActionParsnip, do i just have to write it in a shell? [19:55] hedin: no, its a setting in /etc/sysctl.conf [19:55] Hello [19:55] I have no sound in 9.10 [19:55] Sorry [19:55] 10.04 [19:55] !repo keys [19:56] i'm installing ubuntu 10.04 in a chroot environment, and after running debootstrap i'm ended up with a system with only 6 installed packages - not even apt. any ideas what's wrong? [19:56] just right click the name and select open dialogue window [19:57] hedin: run: gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf and add these lines. http://pastebin.com/8UJuGsKA [19:57] how can I copy the most recent file from a dir? [19:57] When my system booted today, it didn't load the X Server. I did a "sudo apt-get update", and noticed a lot of updates. I restarted, and again, X Server didn't load, so I went ahead and did a "sudo apt-get upgrade". There you go, new grub packages, gnome, and even a new kernel. What did just happened?!

[19:58] MrVestek: ctrl+pgdn/pgup [19:58] thanks [19:58] hedin: just change the swappiness to 0, the swappiness keeps the apps in ram and makes the OS not use swap unless you have exhausted RAM (not going to happen) [19:58] rapha ~ i have issues in that the icons sometimes appear double, and most of the time the volume knob goes bye bye [19:59] pgpkeys, 64bit? [19:59] yeah [19:59] ActionParsnip, okay :) [19:59] M300 [19:59] hedin: the other fluff makes your web access faster [19:59] might be a x64 bug then [19:59] * rabidweezle shrugs [19:59] ActionParsnip, everything in sysctl.conf was outcommented...

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] MacB: in /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:00] 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] ActionParsnip, do i need to reload some services or even reboot for it to take effect? [20:01] i update my netbook bios and since then ubuntu doesnt reconize my soundcard, what to do? [20:01] ActionParsnip, i used ext4 [20:01] Oh ye, grub I guess [20:01] shaul, try the ubuntu live cd to verify if it may work there [20:01] hedin: sudo sysctl -p  [20:01] does transmissioncli use the blocklist configured in the transmission gui? [20:01] hi everybody my volume icon gone from tray, what I can to do ? pulseaudio... [20:02] om26er i will thanks, if it does what should i do? [20:02] 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] dick-richardson: yes, it does. [20:02] and sometimes when i close my laptop then open sounds gone.. [20:02] I'm installing python2.4. I accidentally did the symlink backwards (ln -sf /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.4).

[21:33] im trying to get to a file i downloaded to my downloads folder in ubuntu in windows [21:33] Where are the configuration files located in Ubuntu for VPN connections? I am trying to access the configuration via a Live CD on a partition that no longer boots since an upgrade. I need the IP address of my VPN connection. Can anybody help please? [21:33] I currently run 9.04 as my production environment. How could I transfer my system over to running under 10.04, without losing stuff?

That one really rocks... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=imwheel&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names [21:34] ActionParsnip: ty for the link, looking into it [21:34] datacrusher: tey are usually ok, its a bug with nvidia cards afaik [21:35] !upgrade [21:35] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [21:35] ah ActionParsnip ok then [21:35] boolean: depending on features you want and to some extent hardware, 9.04 may be the better release [21:35] again, no not boolean ,but yes bonez2046 [21:35] Hello [21:35] howdy [21:35] hi [21:35] 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] hi [21:35] datacrusher: i'd check your theme install [21:35] edwardthefma: You have to put the file directly into the windows parition [21:36] ActionParsnip, and what if this md5 is ok ? i mean.. why is this needed at first place? [21:36] I would like to know if it is possible to have 3D acceleration working in ubuntu 10.04 with an intel 845g ? [21:36] datacrusher: you may need to run: sudo update-initramfs -u [21:36] minimec, thanks! I'm looking at imwheel now [21:36] 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] edwardthefma: And that, you have to do with your Linux is [21:36] hdtdi: so you know the data you are using is complete and consistant [21:37] edwardthefma: OS* [21:37] ok [21:37] holy crap! i removed acidentaly network icon from the pannel, how do i get it back? [21:37] datacrusher: nm-applet [21:37] !language | datacrusher [21:37] datacrusher: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:37] datacrusher: alt+f2 type: nm-applet press enter [21:37] datacrusher: Add to panel --> Notification bar [21:37] ActionParsnip, so.. basically .. there should be no logon screen when you run ubuntu "demonstration and install" ? [21:37] ActionParsnip, the update worked! [21:37] 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] datacrusher: sweet :) [21:38] plymonth just fine now, ill put the nm back [21:38] 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] sebsebseb: I erred. I am running 9.10 so I see I can just run 'update-manager' to upgrade directly [21:38] datacrusher: I meant notification area. If nm-applet is already running. [21:38] bonez2046: yes [21:38] sebsebseb: so you don't put much stock either in Ext4 or in Grub2? [21:38] hdtdi: usually yes, If you restart the x server using the key shortcut, does it autologin [21:38] 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 [21:39] edwardthefma: I do it everytime, so I change the default repertory of firefox's download directly into the my documents' windows folder [21:39] bonez2046: what you mean much stock? [21:39] esarandon: actually, from what I know, it's hardware that controls that [21:39] ActionParsnip, what key swhortcut ? [21:39] 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] hdtdi: alt+K+PrintScreen [21:39] 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] sebsebseb: stock meaning value... to you Ext4 and Grub2 represent little reason to upgrade to them, right? [21:39] jorozco: Try ftp://mirror.switch.ch [21:39] ok [21:39] h00k: how can I fix it? [21:39] bonez2046: Ext4 is good, Grub 2 isn't [21:40] thx Siantoine [21:40] later, I'm off to buy a cheap phone [21:40] @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] jorozco: try torrents, the protocol adds extra data checks [21:40] edwardthefma: Np [21:40] Siantoine can i pm [21:40] esarandon: good question. I don't know if you are able to [21:40] bonez2046: however both provide little reason to upgrade specifdally for them [21:40] Arsin: did you try killing npviewer.bin and retrying the sound? [21:40] sebsebseb: good is an opinion so is not concrete [21:40] sebsebseb: fair enough [21:40] edwardthefma: What? [21:40] @Guest20876 I would also use the disk utility on the cd to check if your hard drive is failing, system>administration h00k: :s ok.. I will keep playing around. than you [21:40] Also, Compiz (Appearance Settings Extra) with flash is not working anyone know why? [21:40] * clrg is tired [21:40] ActionParsnip, nothin happens with alt+k+printscreen [21:40] edwardthefma: I don't understand [21:41] bonez2046, hmm.. how do I do that? [21:41] ActionParsnip: yeah and best, pretty, ugly, and beautiful are opinons as well [21:41] privet messege [21:41] esarandon: most that I know of, anyway, are hardware controlled, the actual card/plug determines connectivity and turns speakers off [21:41] ps ax | grep npviewer.bin [21:41] !pm | edwardthefma [21:41] edwardthefma: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [21:41] ActionParsnip: sebsebseb I was going to say that grub2 works fine on my machines but like ActionParsnip pointed out WFM is relative [21:41] liquidmeslon, I hate that, I have a CD around here somewhere or I will burn one. [21:41] Arsin: and then kill the numbered process [21:41] 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] IdleOne: it works sure, but old version is easier to configure and such [21:42] jorozco: Verify the md5 after you burn as well, there's an option to do that [21:42] can help me? wont boot, it says init: networking main process (584) terinated with status 1 [21:42] 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] 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] @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] hdtdi: i believe the credentials are: username=ubuntu password=ubuntu [21:42] Thanks h00k. Will try your suggestion [21:42] h00k: do you know how to edit the alsa-base file? [21:42] @Guest20876 all you have to do after that is reinstall the extra programs you want [21:43] anybody? [21:43] esarandon: you can type 'gtksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base' in a terminal or when you press alt+f2 === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [21:43] esarandon: make sure that is your correct audio card, though [21:43] 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] Nothing happened [21:43] 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] h00k: ok [21:43] !controls | KRiMoRaL [21:43] 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] I will try something else before that [21:44] esarandon: just make sure to write down what it was, just in case ;) [21:44] 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] has any one had trouble with the ub. up grade it crashed my lap top any ideas ? [21:44] minimec, I dont think I can use that imwheel [21:44] it detects all my actiuons as "Left" [21:44] sebsebseb, lol I bet. I saw it during pre lts and I was like "great......." [21:45] anyone know if I need to do something in order to keep my guest addition installation? [21:45] edwardthefma: That's ok for me [21:45] anybody can help, i cant boot in server 10.04: init: ureadhead-other main process (572) terminated with status 4; init: networking main process (584) terinated with status 1 [21:45] 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] th1_: Why not? I use it with an Logitech Air, a Logitech G5, even with my Laptop Touchpad... [21:45] I don't have internet in Ubuntu Server as guest in Ubuntu desktop, using virtualbox... how can check in the guest any possible problems? [21:46] joe234: the ureadhead msg just means you have more than one partition [21:46] crazy [21:46] fluxdust: are you using ub 10.04 amd64? [21:46] KRiMoRaL: if you're happy with your theme, but dislike the buttons, you can move them, the buttons are also controlled by the theme, too [21:46] I remember seeing a unofficial ubuntu control panel ... makes quick changes of some of the stuff not by default configurable [21:46] KRiMoRaL: didn't bother me much personalley though, since I found out the fix to change, and that was that, basicalley === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [21:46] minimec, it doesn't detect any of the wheel actions other than up and down correctly [21:46] just interprets them all as "left" [21:47] it's an MX-1000 mouse [21:47] Ubuntu isn't picking up my USB, what do i do? [21:47] ChogyDan: i have, but server wont boot, and that are last messages in boot process [21:47] I guess I can see the use for the on the left... to open the right side of the bar like they said in the link, but I guess we'll have to see. For now, I'll probably be moving it back to the right ;) [21:47] yes [21:47] ActionParsnip, nope.. username - ubuntu 0 password - ubuntu .. is not working [21:47] how do I know if I have a firewall working? [21:48] Ubuntu isn't picking up my USB, what do i do? [21:48] KRiMoRaL: also I tried to get used to in development testing in vm, but no still haven't really. However on Ubuntu I will use the old human look usueaully the one before 9.10, so brown and some orange. [21:48] hdtdi: try username ubuntu with no password [21:48] Ubuntu isn't picking up my USB, what do i do? [21:48] KRiMoRaL: sebsebseb interresting convo but can I ask you to move it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [21:48] IdleOne: that was the end of it anyway :) [21:49] Durf, you gotta be more specific if you want an answer [21:49] IdleOne: unless maybe he replied to it [21:49] Nope. That was it. [21:49] sebsebseb: you were right the first time :) that was the end of it [21:49] DURR it's not registering my USB [21:49] I am not able to play a MP4 file in Totem...

[21:49] <_pg__> is ubuntu 64 disk live? how do i get to a terminal? it keeps trying to install [21:49] fluxdust: I have the same issue, if you install the 383 it will work, I think you can use that meanwhile someone fix the amd64 (it is not what we want but is the solution for now :s) [21:49] durf: usb stick? [21:49] ActionParsnip, :( nope [21:49] You pick after it starts up _pg_ [21:49] yes usb stick liquidmeson [21:49] th1_: You should have a .imwheelrc in you homedirectory. I always start it with imwheel -k in my startup scripts. [21:50] On the first window that pops up, there is a button near the top that lets you load live [21:50] thanks for the info icepeda [21:50] dirf: system>admin>disk utility see if it shows up? [21:50] th1_: It's the swissarmyknife for mouse extra buttons for Logitech devices... [21:50] it's just confusing for me... i am sure i have gstreamer plugins for MP4 installed... what gstreamer plugins do i need have in install exactly?? [21:50] hi there [21:50] has anyone else been having problems with rhythmbox on lucid? [21:51] @spiderman nope [21:51] I need help with wubi on windows 7 [21:51] got it _pg_ ? [21:51] !details | PJAMA [21:51] 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] 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] take care and thanks [21:51] <_pg__> im trying it again, its taking an awfully long time to boot up [21:51] _pg__, in the window enviroment? [21:51] _pg__: you sure that is the Live CD and not Alternate? [21:52] IdleOne, touche [21:52] <_pg__> IdleOne: yessir its not the alternate [21:52] 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] _pg__: ok [21:52] <_pg__> its beautiful tho i must say [21:52] PJAMA: ok that's a good thing in a way, and here's why [21:52] alternate is better to encrypt disk before installing and creating a lvm [21:52] why? [21:52] <_pg__> KRiMoRaL: stll booting...hold fast... [21:52] 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] _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] 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] PJAMA: may as well do a proper dual boot set up, not that difficult to do [21:52] 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. [21:53] what is "internet superserver" ? [21:53] Is there a Way to install Wubi with compatability mode? [21:53] 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] PJAMA: compatabilty mode oh in WIndows you mean [21:53] !ubottu: internet superserver [21:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:53] yea [21:53] Argh. Finally, I've installed Grub to root partition. here is the trick: sudo grub-install --force /dev/sdxy 2> /dev/null [21:53] PJAMA: What do you think Wubi does? [21:54] does anyone know how to create low bitrate screencasts like this one http://bpython-interpreter.org/screenshots/ ? [21:54] Installs Ubuntu without harming windows [21:54] hdtdi: weird, well the username is ubuntu. I know that for sure === jexmex is now known as jexmex_ [21:54] _pg__, yeah I was a little confused the first time I ran 10 as well like that. [21:54] PJAMA: if it goes wrong it can effect booting up Windows. [21:54] pjama the boot record is the problem..the data is untouched [21:54] <_pg__> KRiMoRaL: im so impatient some times haha [21:54] PJAMA: also no you don't use Wubi whilst also running Windows [21:54] ActionParsnip, when i write ubuntu with no pass.. the screen changes for a second and then.. again the login screen [21:54] oh darn. have 2 go. bye [21:54] hrm [21:54] sebsebseb: I don't see how wubi would affect windows' ability to boot. [21:55] hdtdi: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9193 [21:55] hey all, quick question on update manager.... [21:55] Does Wubi make WindowsBootLoader not the default? Can't remember... [21:55] 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] 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] hdtdi: try the last suggestion here [21:55] i have a problem...the system give me this msj when is booting: "An error occurredd while mounting /disc [21:55] sebsebseb: You think that is what it was? [21:56] IdleOne: What do you mean? [21:56] 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] or does a new release NEED the recomened updates as well? [21:56] 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] liquidmeson> dirf: system>admin>disk utility see if it shows up? [21:57] no it does not [21:57] IdleOne: oh right I see [21:57] is there a certain module i need to get my 3g wireless dongle to work? It is of the huawei brand [21:57] _pg__, how's it looking? [21:57] so is there a somewhat painless way to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit yet? [21:57] ahmose: yes it will need updates [21:57] 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] MojoWork: not without a reinstall, no [21:57] question:.... whats the best flash player to use with 64 bit ubuntu 10.04? [21:57] or is it still bascially a "save you list of .." [21:57] <_pg__> KRiMoRaL: so far so good. thanks for that [21:57] ActionParsnip: that's what i thought [21:57] i have a problem...the system give me this msj when is booting: "An error occurredd while mounting /disc [21:57] durf: well assuming different usb slots don't work? open a terminal and try [21:58] i mean, im sure it's possible, but probably more work than it's worth [21:58] please help [21:58] _pg__, n/p.. glad I could help :) [21:58] heya, trying to install 10.04, and the installer hangs after I choose my keyboard layout [21:58] thanks, I know it will need updates.. but my question is... Usually I only have the "security updates" enables.. but, should I also enable "recomended updates" being a nnew release? [21:58] Pici: arrrr [21:58] try what in terminal? [21:58] justin22885: there's a package that installs the 32bit adobe plugin [21:58] dhrosa: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [21:58] yes [21:58] that ndswrapper or something? [21:59] justin22885: adobe-flashplugin [21:59] justin22885: sometimes when people uninstall Wubi, the bootloaders mess up, and then they can't boot up Windows [21:59] justin22885: it uses ndiswrapper i think [21:59] dhrosa: good. Try some boot options and/or disable unnecessary hardware in BIOS for the duration of the install [21:59] no not you justin22885 [21:59] justin22885: the packages makes it painless and it just works [21:59] durf: "df -h" try to find what which one your usb is ex. /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1? [21:59] Jordan_U: see above, silly messed up auto complete [21:59] when ubuntu server starts with 'not starting internet superserver...' does it mean I won't have internet access? because I don't have it [21:59] !flash | justin22885 [21:59] justin22885: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:59] dhrosa: Is it just the installer window that seems to hang, or everything (mouse cursor etc)? [21:59] justin22885: i've tried the beta 64bit build, but it doesn't work for shit [21:59] hey, can someone help me with ubuntu freezing constantly?

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [22:00] steve, try turning compiz off [22:00] 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] stevewaldon: does it unfreeze on its own? [22:00] no [22:00] Jordan_U, the window still responds, but it makes no progress [22:00] sebsebseb: Bug report? [22:00] it freezes and stays that way. [22:00] Jordan_U, lets me quit just fine [22:00] Jordan_U: not happended to me, seen people with these kind of issues in here before though [22:00] i have to wait for my battery to die [22:00] do you have compiz on, steve? [22:00] i don't know what that is [22:00] ** Network problem ** How do I set the DNS servers in a stable way? Setting them in the /etc/resolv.conf file gets resetted everytime I restart Ubuntu. [22:01] durf: if you can't find it, what is the highest /dev/sd(b) letter you see? === nitin is now known as nit [22:01] 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] go into "appearance" click the visual effects tab, and check off "none" [22:01] dhrosa: Probably won't be any since 10.04 was just released, but have you tried the button to "Update the installer"? [22:01] short: set them in your network management software === nit is now known as notsonoob [22:01] Jordan_U, where's that? [22:01] <_pg__> KRiMoRaL: where were all the nice people this morning lol i practically got thrown out of #grub [22:01] hiyaz :) [22:01] so, does anyone have any hints? [22:01] ActionParsnip: but I think the file is downloaded from a canonical server itself [22:02] short: network manage has an option to use dhcp for IP address only, allowing you to set DNS servers manually [22:02] 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] Steve~ go to System/Admin/appearance.. and see if you can turn off "visual effects" [22:02] lol [22:02] _pg__, we're in here now I think n;) [22:02] stevewaldon: can you restart X during the hang? [22:02] ActionParnship, sorry Network Connections [22:02] i just installed lucid, v-shexy [22:02] it freezes at the load screen before.

I'm having some difficulty setting up multihead with 2 sets of keyb/vid/mouse. 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] and the usual tools to create a xorg.conf seem to be missing [22:04] ActionParsnip, why can I see my network conf from ifconfig but not from System -> Preferences -> Network Connections? [22:04] dhrosa: Odd, I could have sworn that option existed... [22:04] well, it loads, plays the intro music and then plays is again and again and again.

I botched it with my 10.4 upgrade this morning [22:04] i can't move my mouse [22:04] yes it failed liquidmeson [22:04] and it will just do that [22:04] forever [22:04] Durf: what did it say? [22:04] Can you try to download and burn the alternate CD steve? [22:04] when ubuntu server starts with 'not starting internet superserver...' does it mean I won't have internet access? because I don't have it [22:05] short: not sure, i use ifconfig to view connection details [22:05] liquidmeson this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TeGvzCpq [22:05] alternate cd?

[22:05] ActionParsnip, me too, but to set DNS in a way that it stays there, you suggested to use the Network Connection tool. But I can't see any connection there. Shouldn't be there some sort of relationship between the two?

According to the latter, I have no network connections setup, but I'm clearly on the net, as you can see [22:06] yes, it will be Ubuntu 10.04, but the installer will be text based.. much easier on your system.. but it will still be Ubuntu 10.04.. just without all the "extras".. bbut you can add them later as you wish [22:07] juanca, ifconfig ?

Occasionally when I press random keys the whole things reboots, and then just goes blank again. I don't k [22:16] now what's wrogn. [22:17] <|Trend|> ActionParsnip, thank you kindly [22:17] short: so it never says: generated by network manager [22:17] chrispche: as for Skype yes, it can be rather annoying at times to set up [22:17] ActionParsnip, no [22:17] chrispche: and not that much can be done about that, since it's closed source software [22:17] 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.

[22:18] Is there a way to reduce Icon size? [22:18] chrispche: i have to go do in-person tech support now, but if youre going to be online later, #ubuntu-audio-help might be useful [22:18] Every time I copy a text with 4 or more lines the program close [22:18] short: usually network manager autofills that out, and you can stop it [22:18] I'm in Lucid btw [22:18] chrispche: try reinstalling skyp, http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html [22:18] DarkStar1: right click it and select stretch icon, make it smaller [22:18] maco: oh there's a channel for audio issues? [22:18] sebsebseb: yes [22:18] maco: in person tech support, sounds good, have fun [22:18] ActionParsnip, how can I see if network manager has got issues (or re-install it)? [22:18] who can help me i cant install ubuntu themes [22:19] 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] 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] ActionParsnip: Cheers dude [22:19] chrispche: what is your problem? Skype not working properly? [22:19] my cairo-dock is starting with the -m option, but its not in the startup, whats going on-how do i stop it? [22:19] sebsebseb: its not official, but daniel (the audio dude) is in there all the time [22:19] Jordan_U, so you say press and hold shift? Anything else before I take the system down?

I want to boot with my external one, but the bios recognizes the internal one [22:19] n [22:19] short: sudo apt-get --reinstall install network-manager-gnome [22:19] it used to recognize it earlier, [22:19] oi [22:19] chrispche: i dont know if they would support skype though [22:19] http://forum.skype.com/topic/601211-kubuntu-10-04-and-pulse-audio/ [22:20] ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll give it a try [22:20] It's not a skype problem is f'ing pulseaudio not picking up my voice from the mic. [22:20] radhika: disable the controller in bios (assuming no other devices are attatched to the same controller [22:20] chrispche: oh pulse audio issuss ah yes [22:20] sebsebseb: it's not a well-staffed channel [22:20] SealedWithAKiss: If you removed fglrx without fixing (or simply removing) your xorg.conf that might explain some of the problem. [22:20] chrispche: you were already asked once to watch the language. Please keep it family friendly [22:20] and fwiw, i use skype with pulseaudio without a problem [22:20] Technically I'm not swearing. [22:21] maco: me too :) [22:21] hi guys [22:21] chrispche: obfuscated swearing counts [22:21] ActionParsnip, I tried that, I couldn't figure out how to, there is nothing in the bios, I am running dell xps m1530 a12 [22:21] The frustration. I'm prepared to pay for support to fix this. [22:21] I'm in 8.04 and I can't get it to see the 10.04 upgrade [22:21] i cant install ubuntu themes [22:21] is there a way to delay a start up item? [22:21] sebsebseb: daniel and a few people that pop in and out [22:21] Jordan_U, would recovery mode resolve that problem? Also if I removed xorg.conf now would that resolve the problem? [22:21] radhika: in the drive list, press enter on it and select none. It will be ignored [22:21] i cant install ubuntu themes [22:21] I'm in update manager, [22:21] it doesn't show up [22:21] chrispche: i had some computers, that wouldnt work with newer versions of ubuntu.

I've listed the keyb/mouse for each in the ServerLayout but that doesnt seem to have the desired effect, any ideas?

Perhaps you already have software center or synaptics open? this would block aptitude [22:48] nope im sure [22:48] ricko: is your user in the sudoers file?

[22:49] ricko: if the user isnt in the sudoers file they can't get sudo access [22:49] 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] 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 [22:50] Mandrew, what does 'tether' stand for in this context? [22:50] So is an alias pretty much just binding a command? [22:50] yes its privilages [22:50] unspin i have a article from the magazine linux user that you might get something out [22:50] i open synaptic it asks me for pass [22:50] i've been playing with it all afternoon [22:50] ricko: is it a user, you added yourself? [22:50] 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] ricko, put in your password, not root's [22:50] winXPuser it stands for using the iphone as a modem [22:51] ricko: use the cli and it may give you more info [22:51] Mandrew, okay, re-install the iphone driver? [22:51] 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] but it doesn't respond to DHCP requests [22:51] and manually setting the iphone ip address as the default gateway doesn't fly [22:51] its a user i added and i used its pass whats cli [22:51] winXPuser i dont know if i have one and if i do i have no clue how to do that [22:52] tethering is enabled on the iphone and the blue tethering bar comes up when i plug it in [22:52] ricko: command line interfacec, terminal [22:52] so i'm not sure whats going on [22:52] works on my mac [22:52] !sudo | ricko [22:52] ricko: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) .

I am looking for a tutorial... [22:54] preston_: go to system>admin>update? [22:54] mickster04: Thanks, the standard GNOME menu wasn't much help [22:54] ricko, you will need to add them to the admin group - As an already admin user, launch the users program (System -> Administration -> Users and groups). Find the user you want to be admin level and click advanced settings.

I would disconnect the data cable (dont bother to remove power, since you will be connecting the drive again). I doubt, that disabling the internal drive will help, usually that is not neccessary.

[23:04] mickster04: that wasn't OT, by the way [23:04] what port does vnc use?

[23:07] erUSUL, [23:07] !info aircrack-ng [23:07] aircrack-ng (source: aircrack-ng): wireless WEP/WPA cracking utilities. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.0-1 (lucid), package size 1529 kB, installed size 2748 kB [23:07] user__: grep has a -r option to recurse. I've never tried it... [23:07] cracking is illegal in _some_ countries, but not in mine. Am I forbidden to talk about this here? [23:07] user__: grep -R is recursive, I don't think find looks in files, it looks for files [23:07] erUSUL, I have downloaded the alternate install CD. I mount it according to the instructions... and nothing happens!!!! [23:07] can anyone help me with an issue with a wubi install?? [23:07] hmw: lol i guess not, depends where the servers are [23:07] 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] how do i do this? edit/etc/default/bluetooth [23:07] Jordan_U, thanks [23:07] Anyone have any luck witha multiseat setup with 10.04? Everything online is for the old GDM in 9.10 [23:07] !ask | FluffyMaster [23:07] 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] 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" [23:08] hmw: i meant i guess so [23:08] erUSUL, it does not load, or run a script, it just sits on my desktop, doing nothing!!! [23:08] radhika: Sorry, but I really don't know. I have never used windows on a personal computer. [23:08] VCoolio: you *can* combine find, xargs and grep to look thru files recursively, it's a traditional solution.... [23:08] Mandrew: type into the terminal: gksudo gedit /etc/default/whatever [23:08] i can't connect to DSL through network manager in ubuntu 10.04? Does the problem still exist in 10.04? [23:08] ok, just found the -R option in the manpage of grep; I will try; thanks to all ! [23:08] kip, no problem, Jordan_U answered the question [23:08] 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 ? [23:09] skiwithpete: what are you trying to do [23:09] thanks hmw [23:09] Grizmawe: Yes how do you select the sound? [23:09] apparle, I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04.3 to 10.04 [23:09] Where do I enter the neccessary info to browse windows shares (Workgroup comes to mind) using 10.4 netbook? [23:09] 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] apparle, I can't see the upgrade through the update-manager [23:09] skiwithpete: so where does windows come in [23:09] radhika: good to hear, sorry i wasnt more of a help [23:09] apparle, I don't have windowws [23:09] 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) [23:10] Jordan_U, there is no GRUB menu displayed whatsoever. [23:10] erUSUL: what did you suggest him to do? [23:10] SealedWithAKiss: Even when you hold shift? [23:10] no idea about ubuntu 10.04 network manager DSL? [23:10] Jordan_U, even when I hold shift. [23:10] My web browser doesn't see Java.. [23:10] apparle, I can't see the upgrade, so erUSUL suggested I download the alternateinstall CD [23:10] apparle, which I did. [23:10] 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 [23:11] Jordan_U, thanks, got it [23:11] 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] skiwithpete: just a min...I'll get back to you [23:11] SealedWithAKiss: Interesting, do you have more than one hard drive? Any other OS's installed? [23:11] radhika: You're welcome. [23:11] gksudo gedit /etc/default/bluetooth is an empty document do i have a big problem? [23:11] apparle, it does nothing [23:11] Can somebody help with network issues pls? [23:11] skiwithpete -c shuld show dist-upgrades [23:11] skiwithpete update-manager -c shuld show dist-upgrades [23:12] Jordan_U, I have Windows Vista installed, however that's also unusable because of an update loop. [23:12] 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] SealedWithAKiss: "update loop"? [23:12] hmw, it does not show the upgrade [23:12] 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] 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? [23:13] Grizmawe, I have, but The browser(s) don't see it. [23:13] hmw, I have already checked the upgrade tab in sources and selected LTS [23:13] 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] Gnome won't start after I upgraded to 10.04 - can anyone help please? [23:13] FluffyMaster: with the partitioning menu [23:13] 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] ChrisC_, so if you add the indicator applet to the top bar does is show the volume control? [23:13] No [23:14] SealedWithAKiss: Can you boot windows currently (even if only to go through the loop)? [23:14] mickster04:how do i get there? [23:14] 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] professional-are: you could add the script to the init.d folder? [23:14] How can you mount an iso file on ubuntu? [23:14] FluffyMaster: when you're installing dont you have to say where it goes? [23:14] ChrisC_, Also, go to System--> Preferences--> Sound. Can you select your audio card in there? [23:14] skiwithpete: i am not sure, what your issue is. i never used the alternate cd, also. [23:14] !iso [23:14] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [23:14] altitron, dobleclic on it [23:15] altitron: ^^^^ [23:15] mickster04:i installed this with wubi so i wouldnt have to partition [23:15] 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] mickster04 gksudo gedit /etc/default/bluetooth is an empty document do i have a big problem? [23:15] FluffyMaster: you still have to install it somewhere? [23:15] 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] 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] fosco_, ^^ohh i thought it is like in windows, were you need to get software like alcohol...and daemon tools. [23:15] Mandrew: no idea, does the srevice thing work? [23:15] 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] fosco_, thanks [23:15] 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] ok [23:16] mickster04: i am assuming that i installed it with the default options, whatever taht might be [23:16] skiwithpete: it is a desktop right? [23:16] !dvd > theGman [23:16] theGman, please see my private message [23:16] skiwithpete: not a server [23:16] hello is there anyone whoe is willing to help a noob [23:16] mickster04 no im having problems with my bluetooth and tethering on my iphone [23:16] 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] yeah, desktop (laptop) [23:16] FluffyMaster: i havent used wubi soryr [23:16] apparle, yeah, desktop (laptop) [23:16] !pastebucket [23:16] Mandrew: so you dont have a bluetooth service running, can you tab-complete sumat to do with bluetooth? [23:17] like sudo service bl[tab] , it should show you a list of options if there is more than one [23:17] skiwithpete: so you have mounted it? [23:17] !ask | george_ [23:17] 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] mickster04 im a newbie i have no clue about that :( [23:17] mounting .. kinky [23:17] 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] apparle, yes, I mounted the CD [23:17] 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] 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] mickster04: i am assuming that i installed it with the default options, whatever taht might be [23:17] Grizmawe: I only need to know a few things. [23:17] aaagh, nvm [23:17] my bad [23:18] lol [23:18] is anyone else having problems installing onto a raid drive? [23:18] 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] where should i install teamspeak 2 [23:18] Grizmawe: Other than that I'm good. [23:18] FluffyMaster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:18] 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] Grizmawe, 1.6.0_18 [23:18] skiwithpete: so did you read the note after 4th step in http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:18] Mandrew: well type in sudo service bl[tab key] it autocompletes stuff for you... [23:18] FluffyMaster: no idea, i dont use wubi [23:18] 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] is there a UNR channel? I'm having issues with my netbook wireless (an asus eeepc 1001ha) [23:18] 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] Mandrew: yeah i don't use bluetooth [23:18] Mandrew: follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195655 [23:19] thanks GeekSquid :D [23:19] 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] Grizmawe: You forgot about me :) [23:19] 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] thanks GeekSquid i have a look at it [23:20] should i install all my programs into one folder and if so what folder ... anyone? [23:20] apparle, I feel like a twat. Thank you so much for going through this with me [23:20] If I use Places >> Connect to Server >> Windows Share on Ubuntu 8.04 where does it mount it to on the drive? [23:20] 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] skiwithpete: no problem [23:20] george_ are you familiar with synaptic and/or the software centre? [23:20] Grizmawe: How do I get the standard one back again? [23:20] I think I've gotten it. :P [23:20] * skiwithpete twat [23:21] 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] ChrisC_, dont know.... yet [23:21] Once remembered...ubottu can be very helpful and expedient. :P [23:21] apparle, I feel so shit for not having read the extra 2 lines down... owe you a beer.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:21] short: 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? [23:21] skiwithpete: well I don't drink :D [23:22] /clear [23:22] Grizmawe: Do you mean yet as in a little while or yet as in some time in the far future? [23:22] 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] mathew: it miht be a different tab? [23:22] I cannot see NetworkManager on the panel. If I open Network Connections no connections are shown but ifconfig shows connections. [23:22] nope [23:22] mathew: have you rebooted? [23:22] i tried different tabs [23:22] yes i rebooted [23:22] 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] Once again nobody knews shit. I fucking love ubuntu community. [23:23] Grizmawe, OK, it works now thanks [23:23] ChrisC_, dont know. Thought it was the standard applet. [23:23] jthing, no prob [23:23] the only tabs i got was the default one and accessibilties [23:23] i did a thing to see if was being detected and it wasnt [23:23] GeekSquid, could you help? I'd like to setup my DNS permanently but everytime I reboot it gets resetted [23:24] !it [23:24] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [23:24] 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] yes 64 bit [23:24] handjob, your attitude's so big, nobody noticed your problem... [23:24] 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] hi, does anyone know how to get flash on ubuntu 10.04 on 64bit? [23:24] I do. [23:25] anyone have any idea how to get my touchpad working again :\ [23:25] short: you will need to edit /etc/resolv.conf to set your nameservers .... lookup resolv.conf in google for syntax [23:25] Just a sec. [23:25] DeathMetalDean, wget http://queleimporta.com/downloads/flash10_en.sh [23:25] DeathMetalDean, sudo bash ./flash10_en.sh [23:25] 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] hey [23:25] Put this in your repos... [23:25] http://ppa.launchpad.net/sevenmachines/flash/ubuntu [23:25] ChrisC_: perhaps alsa-mixer (command line) [23:26] can I ask about compile issues here? [23:26] hallo world [23:26] hmw: Like I say I have tried all the mixers. [23:26] how do i move a folder that has a lock icon on it? [23:26] chid yes [23:26] how do I connect to a windows domain once I have established a vpn connection? [23:26] george_: with sudo access:D [23:26] chid: Hmmm.... guess so. Ask. === Maarten- is now known as Maarten [23:26] well, I'm having problems with compiling psb-kernel-source [23:26] !domain [23:27] right is there a way to have sudo privilages in GUI [23:27] SealedWithAKiss, it says there's no such file or directory whenever I downloaded it and typed the command into the terminal [23:27] hey there i wonder if anyone could help me out? i am trying to patch a ps3 camera in and am following a guys terminal guide but have hit a dead end. Help?? [23:27] I'm just wondering if there are precomiled binaries for 9.10 [23:27] I don't really want to downgrade to 9.04 and download packages again [23:27] short: you'll also need to set a static IP in order for the resolv.conf to not be overwritten [23:27] george_: if you are annoyed by always typing the password, check out pam_usb [23:27] 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] I got nvidia drivers for SMC. And the game is running to fast. ANy help here? [23:27] : Add that repo to sn [23:27] a [23:27] synaptic. [23:27] george_: gksudo [23:27] anyone have any idea how to get my touchpad working again? [23:27] GeekSquid, I have got a static ip, assigned by my router [23:27] You get the option of 64bit flash. [23:28] DeathMetalDean, the file should be in your home folder, make sure that your running the command from your home directory. [23:28] SealedWithAKiss, it's alright, got it working lol [23:28] anybody try getting web USB web cams to work? in lynx? [23:28] !repeat | mathew [23:28] mathew: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [23:28] short: yes, assigned by router, also needs to be setup in /etc/network/interfaces [23:28] DeathMetalDean, does flash work now? [23:28] 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] Question! Does anyone else use Skype here under 64bit 10.04? [23:28] 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] SealedWithAKiss, dunno yet, it's doing something in the terminal, will let that finish [23:28] @chrisC I am trying and can't get it to work! [23:29] !anyone | ChrisC_ [23:29] ChrisC_: 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?

[23:29] george_: gksudo nautilus [23:29] gr [23:29] beast, What do you mean they go to fast? === UbuntuRouter is now known as Hypnoz [23:29] hi [23:29] im no good with keyboard shortcuts [23:29] SealedWithAKiss, no, it doesn't work :S [23:29] OK then who uses Skype successfully on 10.04 just say yay or nay. [23:29] Jordan_U, I don't have a blank CD. Do you think that it's just better to re-install? [23:29] how you expect me to bloody go to them pages to search [23:29] ChrisC_; Skype works just fine on my PC running 10.04 amd64 [23:29] chrisc: skype yes [23:29] how to entry in the console grub2 rescue mode? [23:29] i had enough trouble doin it earlier but i closed the window [23:30] @chrisC I can get camera and hear people but it doesn't detect my mic [23:30] what's the command? [23:30] sorry guys not following .. what is gksudo [23:30] the problem is that the fps is outrageous speeds. I cant play it properly [23:30] 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] 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] 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] platius: Whats your secret. Did it work out of the box. Or did you have fiddle? [23:30] ChrisC_: can you put in another sound card? [23:30] @kyle_: check your sound output settings [23:30] NO Laptop. Samsung R20. [23:30] roxdragon: Could you please rephrase your question. It's not clear what you mean. [23:30] acerimmer: you dont need to put the @ sign there, it will notify and highlight with just the nick [23:31] 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] beast, Hmm not sure about that one, anyone else think they can help beast out with his graphics? [23:31] SealedWithAKiss: I don't think it's worth re-installing, do you have a spare flash drive? [23:31] !tab | acerimmer [23:31] acerimmer: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:31] mickster04: TY. irc/chatzilla noob here [23:31] jonazdnb, that would be quite a security risk. Better would be to set up vsftp to serve the files [23:31] 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] SealedWithAKiss, ok, I'll ask my brother about it later, I think he updated too and has flash [23:31] 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] 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] acerimmer: no probs [23:31] DeathMetalDean, well I'll keep looking too, good luck with getting it working.

It's 8GB in size. === Camaro_09_ is now known as Camaro_09 [23:32] @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] platius: That's not working for me. I wonder if a bug fix will be available one day? [23:32] !grub2|roxdragon [23:32] 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] SealedWithAKiss: Can you boot from it? [23:32] silvernode, i am going to try another game to check it out [23:33] 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] Jordan_U, I don't think so no. [23:33] OR, HANG ON. Will windows skype work in Crossover 9? I have that on my hdd, not installed yet. [23:33] beast, I'm going to ask the Arch Linux IRC. They seem to know more. [23:33] short: looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/428589/ [23:33] con-man, ubuntu recommends likewise - install likewise-open [23:33] Actually I doubt it as it's not picking up sound right across Ubuntu. [23:33] 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] ChrisC_: worth a shot [23:33] SealedWithAKiss: Try re-installing grub from the LiveCD with the guide I linked to earlier. [23:33] 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] 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] ChrisC_: but i think the microphone issues are with ubuntunot skype [23:34] GeekSquid, the gateway, is my router IP address or the gateway that the router uses to go to the internet? [23:34] Yes they are. [23:34] the problem is it didnt put it where i wanted it [23:34] Jordan_U, I think that it has to be something to do with me messing about with (and I think deleting) fglrx. [23:34] ChrisC_; must be some hardware diffs. I have another 10.04 64bit and it worked out of the box on that pc [23:34] Grizmawe, ty [23:34] SealedWithAKiss, my brother updated his ubuntu 10.4 with 64bit and apparently his flash never broke, dunno what's wrong lol [23:34] Geeksquid, also, once set, shall I restart any services?

[23:34] short: router IP address, then sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [23:35] SealedWithAKiss: I think that either windows has overwriten grub because you should be able to get to the grub menu (and uninstalling fglrx would have no effect on grub) [23:35] i just : sudo dpkg --configure -a [23:35] roxdragon: check the url i sent. grub2 rescue is there i think.

[23:35] good england AndrewGee [23:35] Jordan_U, it's not like it isn't displaying grub, my monitor it literally saying 'The graphics card isn't giving me any input, so I'm turning myself off'. Why would that happen? [23:36] good england Guest39086 [23:36] roxdragon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:36] platius: I know, but it's not broken as it all worked in 9.10. Why did they have to change the sound setup. [23:36] hey, one of our LDAP clients probably lost connection with the LDAP server for a second or whatever...i cannot log in as an LDAP-based user via SSH (it says i supplied an incorrect password) but i can log in as the one non-LDAP administrative emergency user. other machines using the same OpenLDAP server seem to be fine. is there a way to fix this without rebooting? the client is an ubuntu 8.10 desktop [23:36] !intel [23:36] Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [23:36] Jordan_U, before this happened it would just boot into Ubuntu and wouldn't display the GRUB menu. Now it wont do either. I'm confused. [23:36] acerimmer, yes but gianni@R0x-Dr4g0n-Desktop:~# grub2 rescue [23:36] No command 'grub2' found, did you mean: [23:36] Command 'grub' from package 'grub' (main) [23:36] grub2: command not found [23:36] roxdragon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:37] 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] roxdragon: What are you actually trying to accomplish? [23:37] 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 [23:38] hey there i wonder if anyone could help me out? i am trying to patch a ps3 camera in and am following a guys terminal guide but have hit a dead end. Help?? [23:38] error processing ttf-mscorefonts-installer (--configure) [23:38] ???????? [23:38] GeekSquid, thanks. I'll try to restart the PC and see if that made a difference. I had also different DNS servers on the router and on my PC since the ISP changed the DNS addresses without telling us [23:38] lol it sent me to ubuntu-proxy, I'm using freenode webchat >_< [23:38] hwm: the bbc used to play fine in karmic for me too, it's only since upgrading [23:38] Grizmawe, all I want is access to my work box and network drives :( [23:38] ironically, the floodbot flooded a lot more [23:38] Grizmawe, VPN works great, but I cannot ping the network drives or my work computer [23:39] My sound card is an Intel HDA that any help to anyone? [23:39] powr-toc: my suggestion abtou the live cd is for the case, that your ubuntu got somehow damaged. I cant us lucid here, so i cant tell. [23:39] hey ppl [23:39] roxdragon: maybe I didn't understand what you're trying to accomplish. Plz restate problem [23:39] Jemand könnte deutsch schreiben [23:40] anyone know how I can check that dbus, udisks and gvfs are running correct?

[23:40] hwm: Does the livecd even come with the nonfree flashplayer? [23:40] I'll be back I'm going to do some research. Cheers all. [23:40] I'm trying to play a Star Wars DVD in VLC but it crashes. Most other DVDs work. Any ideas why? [23:40] roxdragon: do you get the grub menu on boot? [23:40] 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] DonaldShimoda: because you didnt install mplayer-gui probably. mplayer is a command line prog [23:40] 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] mmm... then was disabled on the upgrade [23:41] yurimxpxman: bcz Lucas is the devil - copy protection [23:41] george_: try installing it without sudo [23:41] george_: sudo apt-get remove team[tab button press] [23:41] 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] 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] george_: check the readme [23:41] 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] ok [23:41] Grizmawe, hmmmmm so I'd have to get the ip addy of my work box and bring it home [23:42] hmw, thanks [23:42] Grizmawe, "edmd04cdoran" just won't work :P [23:43] how do I remove a person from a group from the command line ? [23:43] roxdragon: hold SHIFT while booting to get to grub2 screen [23:43] this is what i get Package teamspeak-client is not installed, so not removed [23:43] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 33 not upgraded. [23:43] con-man, you could try to ping the full domain name of the box - edmd04cdoran. so edmd04cdoran.corporatedomain.pri for example. [23:43] where are the program files stored ? [23:43] hello all [23:43] not_an_andy: all over the place [23:44] GeekSquid, ok thnx [23:44] george_: did it tab complete that for you? [23:44] 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] 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] mickster04: george_ installed by script, not apt [23:44] ? [23:44] problem: gdm shows the splash screen, then doesnt't show the login screen afterwards. mouse cursor appears and is functional (no right lclick menu). sudo service gdm restart doesn't fix it (same behavior is repeated) [23:44] GeekSquid: ooooh ok [23:44] 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] yes i installed by script [23:45] 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] 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] jorozco: Probably not a problem with brasero, try burning at a lower speed. [23:45] jorozco: i like k3b myself [23:45] jorozco: 2nd Jordan-U advice [23:45] toyman61: wireless drivers are a little behind, not written for the New 802.11n(draft) specs, afraid 54mbit is all you will get for now [23:46] jorozco: xfburn works for me, 'best' is a big word tho [23:46] Hello! [23:46] 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] ...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] Thanks everyone. Will try your suggestions :) [23:47] jorozco: did you check the md5sum on the ISO prior to burning? [23:47] How do I chroot into a mounted partition? [23:47] Hans_Henrik: What version of Ubuntu? I have that card and it's working fine in 10.04. [23:47] !chroot | SealedWithAKiss [23:47] 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] GeekSquid, : I got it to work with 270 Mbps on Ubuntu 9.04.... [23:47] on permissions tab it says owner : root group: root and it wont let me have permission to delete or move the folder [23:47] 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] PHP Help please! [23:47] Jordan_U: 10.04, clean install from release cd [23:47] tony_: #php? [23:47] toyman61: there may have been a regression in 10.04, happens sometimes, there may be a fix in the ppas on launchpad [23:48] 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] Grizmawe, will do, thanks for your help [23:48] GeekSquid: Yes, the md5sum matches the one available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [23:48] con-man, no [23:48] con-man, np * [23:48] Ganymede, you can restart individual services [23:48] Jordan_U: sure its "rtl8187se"? [23:48] Yep! I got it set up juuuust right, BUT, how exactly do I include a file from my Home folder? [23:48] tony_: irc://irc.phpfreaks.com/ [23:48] snakesqzns, i don't know which one is acting up... =/ [23:48] 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] Hans_Henrik: Yes. [23:48] GeekSquid, I'm a newbie - ppas on launchpad ?? [23:48] Oh. OK. [23:48] jorozco: I'd burn it at the lowest speed possible to see if that will help [23:48] Ganymede, how do you know your server is acting up [23:48] hmw, well...the uptime is for...pride [23:49] Ganymede: it might be more wise, to only restart, what is broken. this way you "earn" the uptime ;-) [23:49] GeekSquid: Thanks. 10X is the lowest speed avail from the options. Will try this first. [23:49] Ganymede: Pride Goeth Before a Fall :) [23:49] 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 [23:50] or kerberos [23:50] toyman61: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas ... search for the name of the driver [23:50] GeekSquid, : Thanks. I'll try that.. :-) [23:50] 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] 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 [23:51] Ganymede: you may get more specific help in #openldap [23:51] GeekSquid, thanks, i didn't know about that [23:51] does anyone know for usb drives being automouted if udisks and gvfs need to be running? [23:51] 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] Ganymede, may be best to swallow pride and reboot :P what is your uptime - just curious..... :D [23:52] Hans_Henrik: Yes, I can. [23:52] 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.
