I'm not even sure which service is requesting it.....

[00:00] sourceforge* [00:01] rahduke, disabling autologin is the easiest way to get rid of the keyring issue. [00:01] Rahduke: check Ubuntu one settings. [00:01] dick-richardson: Not sure what you mean or why that means you need the deprecated cli-version [00:01] dugger5688: Iill look into it [00:01] ubottu: i am having trouble with grub [00:01] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:01] ZykoticK9: disabling autologin defeats the purpose [00:01] rahduke: one can enter an empty password to the keyring in order to get rid of the annoying additional password checks [00:02] i am having trouble with grub [00:02] garrett_: I sent you a Direct Chat invte [00:02] rahduke: of course that might be a security problem [00:02] !grub\ [00:02] !grub2 | garrett_ [00:02] garrett_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:02] garrett_: ubottu is a computer program a bot, what is your problem with Grub? Which version of Ubuntu? Grub or Grub 2? [00:02] hmw: what if I've already set it to a specific password? It doesn't seem a keyring manager has been included by default [00:03] rahduke: i would like to know that, too. Chances are good, that Google knows the answer. Just type the full question into google. [00:03] GeekSquid, thank @"'- [00:03] Yeah the problem Geeksquid is that that is the old version [00:03] sebsebseb: grub 2 [00:03] sweb: perhaps you missed my previous question, why are you using sourceforge ? [00:03] garrett_: well look at hte page the bot gave [00:03] garrett_:is xp installed? [00:03] hmw: I've already been there...lol. I really prefer to just disable the popup somehow [00:04] george_: there may be a newer version compiled already @ https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [00:04] rahduke: hmm... let me try my luck [00:04] sebsebseb: i have already looked there with no luck [00:04] SealedWithAKiss, haven't found any ways of getting flash yet, you had any luck? [00:04] garrett_: sudo updtate-grub [00:04] garrett_: sudo update-grub [00:04] hmw: I remember seahorse used to manage the keyring, i'm gunna look in the repos [00:04] rahduke: i just got 35.000 entries when i googled "how to disable keyring ubuntu" === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [00:04] rahduke, hmw to disable the keyring you need to remove the current one, then reset all your password for networking selecting no password - then agreeing to the "unsafe storage" option. which does make your system much less secure. as i origionally said, disabling autologin in the "easy" way [00:04] DeathMetalDean, I have been playing the PS3 so no I haven't. [00:05] SealedWithAKiss, lol xD ok [00:05] ZykoticK9: remove == uninstall?? [00:05] hmw, not uninstall! [00:05] hey all, anyone have any ideas what it might mean when on installation of lucid only one of my neighbors shows up in my wireless? lol, is just new to me... usually either wireless works or it doesn't, not partially. [00:05] hmw, just the keyring file [00:05] ZykoticK9: well this is a media center so ideally there wouldnt be a login screen and it XBMC would launch fullscreen [00:05] hmw, yes - if you use purge it will also remove any configs [00:06] cosmicjoke: it means his router is not running wep/wap protection [00:06] ZykoticK9: it was working fine w/ 9.10 [00:06] Grizmawe: ZykoticK9: aargh... why dont you tell us, what file it is *grin* [00:06] rahduke, i use Mythbuntu successfually without a login on both karmic and lucid [00:06] ahhh, so any idea why mine is hidden? [00:06] Türkce yazisalim [00:06] Using the lowest speed to burn my iso failed. What's odd, is that the CD's setup / integrity check fails the MD5 checksum verification on the same file all the time: ./dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz. Any ideas? [00:06] 1tr | uso_ [00:06] !tr | uso_ [00:06] uso_: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [00:06] hmw, i won't directly support it sorry [00:06] cosmicjoke: can you be more specific as to what your question is, all in a single line (not multiple posts) ? [00:06] ZykoticK9: this unit doesn't have a cablecard, didnt see a need for mythbuntu.... [00:06] *sigh* [00:07] rahduke, i was just pointing out [00:07] jorozco: use windows to burn the iso. You might need the utility from feinman [00:07] sometimes i really doubt this "not supported" issues, like using sudo for becoming root permanently. So what? well... Ubuntu. [00:07] where is the appropriate place to file a bug for a kernel/Xorg segphault? [00:07] ZykoticK9: I'm not sure how to see what service is requesting the key, do you have any idea? [00:08] Can you delete pulseaudio and install just ALSA? [00:08] hmw: sudo -i [00:08] jorozco: isorecorder.alexfeinman.com [00:08] GeekSquid: i know. and SHHH! thats not supported [00:08] rahduke, 9 out of 10 it's nm-applet (network manager) [00:08] ubuntu-tr veriyorum ama nafile [00:08] ChrisC_: you can remove it some how, but probably won't be that easy, where as some distros you can easilly disable it and just use alsa [00:08] cya guys [00:08] currently my list of wireless network connections only includes one my neighbors (not mine or any of my other neighbors) - i'd like it to work again is all, lol. i have a realtek 8172 wireless card in my thinkpad. any ideas? [00:08] ZykoticK9: what happen to the network icon in indicator-applet? [00:08] hmw: if I am not root how can I break anything, ha ha [00:08] ZykoticK9: it only shows up when on Wifi [00:09] rahduke: google for "how to disable keyring ubuntu" [00:09] ZykoticK9: Nope,I still get: Input can't be opened... What the heck? [00:09] sorry if i'm inept at explaining my problem :/ [00:09] Does anyone know how to do it? [00:09] ChrisC_: also if you remove it in Ubuntu, it might effect sound applet [00:09] cosmicjoke: what is the question? [00:09] ChrisC_: do WHAT? [00:09] hmw: what do u think i typed into google? How to make assumtions people know nothing about google? [00:09] hmw, gnome-keyring i think. Dont know about uninstalling it though. You may want to delete ~/gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring, see if that helps first [00:09] ChrisC_: uninstalling pulseaudio causes a automatic fallback to alsa [00:10] Remove pulseaudio and havej just ALSA. [00:10] hmw: if i had found a result that satisfied my question i would not turn up here [00:10] GeekSquid: Oh does it I'll have to try that now. [00:10] Does ANYONE know how to solve the error: Input can't be opened in the vlc player when trying to play a dvd? [00:10] do you think there might be a problem w/ wireless driver that lucid selected for me on install? [00:10] rahduke: because i just found a lot of instructions there? uhm... Grizmawe just gave the answer, what file needs to be removed, btw. Thanks Grizmawe btw [00:10] cosmicjoke: very possible. realtek drivers are a pain. [00:10] cosmicjoke: is your wireless working ? [00:10] where is the appropriate place to file a bug for a kernel/Xorg segphault? I'm using fglrx [00:10] rahduke: i gave you the search term, i was not "LMGTFY"ing you ;-) [00:10] Hello #ubuntu [00:11] no, not w/ lucid... i'm currently booted into windows atm [00:11] Is it because the dvd is auto mounted? I believe I had that issue in a diff distro and unmounting solved it but unmounting it doesn't seem to be that easy... [00:11] !hello | Black_Dog [00:11] Black_Dog: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[00:12] yea [00:12] Hello, I can't find anything online on how to uninstall Ubuntu from my flash drive. Anyone know a good place to look? [00:12] cosmicjoke: so the hardware is fine, its the driver [00:12] I installed Cairo-dock, downloaded a new theme and now I cannot log into my box. I can see the login screen, but when I put in my password it will flash my background and then voila back to the log in screen. If someone would like to help me I would be very happy! [00:12] !usb | Droopsta915 [00:12] Droopsta915: 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 [00:12] rahduke: hmm i see ... [00:12] cosmicjoke: did you try the Ubuntu forums, looking for your type of wireless card yet ? [00:12] Gotta go wipe the headcrab blood off my crowbar. cya. [00:12] epkugelmass: here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer [00:12] right, i tried the driver though from realtek's website --- it worked w/ karmic, but doesn't seem to w/ lucid [00:12] rahduke: what ubunt version? how can i reproduce the situation? must be some setting somewhere in the dephts of gnome [00:13] ill keep at it [00:13] Anyone? Someone? Plz? :P [00:13] ZykoticK9: thanks for your effort :) [00:13] rahduke: perhaps a stupid question: did you relogin? [00:13] rahduke, may also help to install gnome-keyring-manager [00:13] I tried to reboot and relog in [00:14] Droopsta915: You could try re-formatting the flash drive. That's worked for me in the past (using gparted) [00:14] SealedWithAKiss, you may call me a genius, I fixed the problem [00:14] Grizmawe: i've just done that and added seahorse plugins, gunna messaround [00:14] thanks [00:14] later [00:14] cosmicjoke: are you using a 64bit OS, did you use a 64bit OS before ? [00:14] SealedWithAKiss, lol xD go to Ubuntu Software Centre and search "flash" then just install the Adobe Flash Plugin [00:14] Grizmawe: shouldt the manager be installed by default? [00:14] Is there a "safe mode" for ubuntu [00:14] it is 10.04 [00:14] 64bit [00:15] Black_Dog: LiveCD might be what your looking for.... [00:15] Black_Dog: or recovery mode from Grub [00:15] Black_Dog: from the boot loader [00:15] hi any one know where can i down load the correct flash for ubuntu 64 bit [00:15] theGman: did you try opening the file with command line? [00:15] GeekSquid, I already have fglrx installed. this is not an installer issue. anyway, the fglrx-installer package no longer exists. how am i supposed to use ubuntu-bug? [00:15] i'm not using 64 bit atm, as i had troubles w/ my wireless driver in 64 bit for karmic (it wouldn't stay connected) - 32 bit for karmic worked fine, so for lucid i went 32 bit [00:15] !flash [00:15] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:15] Anyone to help getting vlc to play a dvd? Getting: Input can't be opened. Movie player works fine. [00:15] Black_Dog: on boot it says "press esc for grub" (or "boot menu") should be 2 seconds i believe. This brings up a boot menu, you should have an alternative entry somehow like what you want. But perhaps booting the live cd is a better option [00:16] Okay, thank you! [00:16] theGman: what kind of DVD? [00:16] sebsebseb: Regular store-bought dvd. [00:16] theGman: commercial bought DVD? One you made yourself? [00:16] theGman: ok [00:16] a noob here, just installd ubuntu on a netbook alongside win 7. i get sent to the build-in shell (ash_ initramfs .. ive read some solutions on google, but way beyond my head [00:16] theGman: did you install the program for DVD support or not? [00:16] i could always try the 64 bit version and see if somehow it has a working wireless driver, but i'm not optimistic lol [00:16] my fakeraid array (raid5) is no longer mounted at boot time, causing booting to fail... not sure how I can fix it without reinstalling everything? [00:17] grub will not load windows xp [00:17] sebsebseb: Like I said, movie player works fine. I installed the libdvdread thing from the Ubuntu website.. [00:17] theGman: yes that's what I mean [00:17] sebsebseb: It's just the vlc player says the input can't be opened for some reason.. [00:17] garrett_: Clean install of Ubuntu? Please provide more details [00:18] dassouki: your install went sour somehow. installing again _might_ help perhaps. Sometimes does. Also check the drive for health. This shouldnt be happening usually. [00:18] theGman: did you install css? [00:18] jorozco: I'll give it a whirl. Thanks [00:18] sebsebseb: what details u need? [00:18] !details | garrett_ [00:18] garrett_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:18] mkquist: Didn't know I needed to? what's the pkg name? [00:18] theGman: libdvdcss2 [00:18] garrett_: saying that XP can't be booted from Grub, doesn't answer, how you installed Grub for example [00:18] theGman: css encryption [00:18] garrett_: if you put Ubuntu on recently or not, and that kind of thing [00:19] is dvdcss2 included in ubuntu-restriced-extras? [00:19] garrett_: and whch version of Ubuntu you have installed [00:19] mkquist: Thx. [00:19] Just curious about downgrading, is there any way to retain programs that I've installed [00:19] garrett_: can you boot to ubuntu? [00:19] theGman: np =) [00:19] chid: Downgrading the whole of Ubuntu that is not supoprted, but you can clean install [00:19] !downgrade | chid [00:19] chid: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:19] chid: *eek* i wouldnt dare do that to my install. [00:20] sebsebseb but if I clean install I'll lose everything I installed [00:20] sebsebseb: version 10.04, i can boot into ubuntu, i turn on the computer, i am brung up with the choices, i choose windows xp, i select it and then all i get is a screen with a blinking cursor [00:20] can I keep the deb packages [00:20] Hey guys. How're you today? [00:20] !grub2 | garrett_ [00:20] garrett_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:20] hmw, how can i check the drive for health [00:20] sebsebseb: yes grub 2 [00:21] chid: you might use live cd to repartition, install a second ubuntu (the "new older" version) and mount the "old newer" version for fetching config files. [00:21] My audio device is: VIA 1708S Sound output works fine, however I'm hoping to get sound input setup. Is anyone familiar with the VIA 1708S? [00:21] garrett_: right well that's a start to read that page, if you don't understand it though, which you probably won't exactly if your new, well people here can help and such [00:21] dassouki: can you still boot w7? use that [00:21] garrett_: boot into ubuntu and open terminal and 'update grub2' see if that helps... just a suggestion [00:21] hmw, don't think that'll work easy :p [00:21] garrett_: usually grub2 is pretty good at picking up on installed os's [00:21] ti xpress 200 Radeon? [00:21] chid: i know, but might save some of your work [00:21] garrett_: you might have to edit Grub 2, and get it booting XP yourself [00:22] @ubottu thanks a lot [00:22] Guys [00:22] I need help [00:22] !ask | PC [00:22] PC: 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. :-) [00:22] garrett_: or maybe this is the sign, time to no longer use a pshyical install of XP, only Ubuntu, and Windows for stuff that isn't say 3D games inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine, if the computer can handle it [00:22] whenever i try to run a live session or try to install ubuntu is all shaking and fuzzy [00:22] its on a ati xpress radeon 200 [00:22] chid: btw. having another ubuntu on the drive allows you to boot into it, thus not having the other file system mounted, so you can back it up with parted or dd [00:22] PC: what version of ubuntu? [00:23] chid: partimage, i meant [00:23] 10.04 [00:23] hmm [00:23] lucid [00:23] but I can backup any time anyway [00:23] PC: Laptop? [00:23] sebsebseb: well i need the physical version, but how can i get grub 2 to boot windows? it doesnt work [00:23] No desktop [00:23] sebsebseb: on that note, quick question, can a 3rd person shooter like cod2 be run in vbox? effectively? if the hardware is up to task? [00:23] H ppavlion a1130n [00:23] well... i was just brainstorming [00:23] i added extra ram [00:24] garrett_: That depends on the apps you want to run, if you really do need a pshyical install or not, and if your computer has at least well I would say 1GB RAM for a Windows vm. [00:24] my friend gets this error when trying to install: could not start device/dev/mapper/asr_pictures-no such file or directory [00:24] sebsebseb: yes i need the physical copy [00:24] mkquist: I think if you got good enough hardware, you can actsauly now days run loads of 3D games in Virtualbox and quite well.

It boots fine [00:26] But, the screen quivers [00:26] mkquist: yes and to no sucess [00:26] And shakes [00:26] dassouki: do a physical check for the drive (the full check, i cant tell how to do in windows) [00:26] Fallyn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

If so: right click to the panel, "add to panel" scroll all the way down, drag "window list" to the panel.

Do I need some sort of special fan driver? Or is there a way to make it spin up more? [00:39] Who keeps changing the UI every six months? I mean, how hard is it just to not change what isn't broken? [00:39] freezway: if you dont have an old computer, you can boot from a USB stick, thats even more cool, since you can add software permanently. [00:39] freezway: nice, yeah grab it dude, you can install the nvidia driver in the livecd and test too [00:39] Anyone?

[00:46] My problem is I am unable to secure shell to my ubuntu 10.04 server unless I have an active session logged in locally to the server, I believe this is due to my home drive being encrypted, anyone have an idea how to work around this?

[00:47] Stevenwaldon, anyone who will assist me :) but no [00:47] I have a lcd Sylcvian monitor [00:47] garrett_ i suggest ya get ya winblows cd and go into recovery mode and fixmbr fixboot to test if winblow is ok.... then reinstall grub after.... actually i reccomend you get ride of winblows all together but..... [00:47] garrett_, try http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [00:47] hmw, yes, I only get "Change Desktop Background" when I initially installed UNR, I did have this top toolbar. [00:47] benjamintheyon: sounds likely, go for it. You can always remove it [00:47] hey.. sorry for this direct question. I just confused how i can make my FD be writeable when I'm running my Lucy thru FD. Is it any way to make it writeable? [00:48] ActionParsnip: it work like magic :D thanks a lot for your help. I am quite new to linux so ... :D [00:48] Chetic: sounds like your graphic card was not recognized by lucid lynx. do your panels/windows have shadows? if not, you need to find out "how to enable compiz", might be impossible perhaps [00:48] I think it has to do with the fact my drive is not mounted until I'm logged in locally so it's not able to see my public key... [00:48] duongthaiha: Linux isn't hard at all, just think logically and the answer is there [00:48] iflema:i will try that, i will come back to let u know [00:48] Cryp71c: that sounds very weird. i dont know UNR tough. I assume, you alread rebooted? [00:48] but I can't be the only one who wants his home drive encrypted, but still wants to use a keypair for secure shelling [00:48] hello does anyone know how to enable two finger scrolling on the asus 1005ha in ubuntu 10.04 [00:48] ActionParsnip: What I'm saying is I don't see an option under the "Add to Panel" dialog that references a folder or folder view. Possibly a plug-in or something that I don't have...? [00:48] should i use another moniroe hmw [00:48] hmw, yes, several times :( [00:48] ActionParsnip, any idea? [00:49] iflema, not exactly helpfull suggestions to tell a user to drop another os ...... end of day each and every os out there achives at least some part of what is needed by the user regardless of other peoples opinions [00:49] while im here... how could i make it so i'd have both 64 and 32 bit ubuntu on my flash drive? [00:49] atmosphere: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/encfs/+bug/319909 is related (has a workaround) [00:49] ActionParsnip, it appears I don't have gnome-panel even installed, attempting to run it from terminal gives me such info. [00:49] PC: try a healthy monitor, that can display the resoluition, your ubuntu was trying to display. Flickering is usually a bad sign for CRTs [00:49] garrett_ that ok with me........ have a looking supergrub disk aswell.... will boot ubuntu and maybe windows [00:49] Cryp71c: then install it, sounds like you removed it [00:49] yea [00:49] Ill try it [00:49] hmw: there doesn't seem to be a problem in the hdd, live cd works fine too [00:50] Thanks hmw [00:50] Hm. [00:50] ActionParsnip, ah hell, I removed evolution and several of its things without paying much attention. [00:50] jrib ... that sounds like it should work!!, I'll give it a go... how did you find that so fast [00:50] atmosphere: see also http://superuser.com/questions/61057/ssh-with-authorized-keys-to-an-ubuntu-system-with-encrypted-homedir and https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/362427/comments/12 [00:50] Cryp71c: yeah removing evolution does that (very weird) [00:50] jrib i've googled that hundreds of times already :\ [00:50] wulfy whatever...... it sounds like winblows is screwed need to verify if its so important [00:50] In 10.04, the close and minimise buttons are on the left, instead of the right. Any way to switch this and keep the same theme? [00:50] ok 4 people in webmin yay! [00:50] Cryp71c: that necessarily means your data is gone. Check your home folder for hidden fiels [00:50] Cryp71c: You can try creating another user. If that does not help or you cannot do it, then: do you have the option of re-installing? that would be my next step. [00:51] !controls | EntityReborn [00:51] EntityReborn: 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 [00:51] I've tried k3b to burn ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso. It burned the image successfully, even verification passed after burning. Still, when I try to install Ubuntu Server 10.04, the integrity fails at Packages.gz. Has anyone else experienced this issue? [00:51] wulfy whatever...... it sounds like winblows is screwed need to verify if its so important [00:51] atmosphere: I googled "ssh encrypted home" [00:51] winblows is ALWAYS screwed [00:51] EntityReborn: there are thousands of guides for that exact thing, did you not websearch any ata ll?? [00:51] Does anybody know how to enable two finger scrolling in ubuntu 10.04 at all? [00:51] ActionParsnip, as always, thanks :) [00:51] MarcWeber: for what purpose? There are a few things which perform similar functions, debsums is one, tripwire and aide log md5sums for the whole system (or as much of it as you want) and can be quite useful as intrusion detection tools [00:51] To a reinstall! [00:51] sigh is it so hard for people to understand something like be objective? [00:51] funkyHat: debsums [00:51] jrib: thank you very much this looks very promising [00:51] THANKS! [00:51] Thanks gents. [00:51] atmosphere: yep, seems like it should work, good luck [00:52] Cryp71c: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-panel [00:52] dassouki: in this case, just try another go for the install. You might get lucky. I had that 2 times out of very many installs already, strange "hickup" when installing. Try to send some positive karma waves onto your pc first ;-) [00:52] MarcWeber: yes, that is the name of the package. [00:52] funkyHat: I mounted the same partition by accident twice. I get some segfaults running terraView. So I want to ensure that my double mounting didn't cause too much troube. [00:52] ActionParsnip: What I'm saying is I don't see an option under the "Add to Panel" dialog that references a folder or folder view. Possibly a plug-in or something that I don't have...? sorry I can see you're crazy busy. [00:52] ActionParsnip, well...if only it were that simple, I have to muck around my wireless to get it to pickup a signal. [00:52] ActionParsnip, network tools doesn't seem very useful, what's a wifi manager I can launch from terminal to make this simple? [00:52] Cryp71c: use the installation CD as a repo [00:53] is there any way to get the latest versions of software over the next 6 months rather than simply bug and security fixes? [00:53] ActionParsnip, oooo, that's nice. [00:53] Has anyone had any weird problems with glipper? [00:53] silvernode: no, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro [00:53] silvernode, you can update the individual packages / applications as they make their updates available. [00:53] benjamintheyon: if you right click some empty panel space you will see add to panel [00:53] where do I put UpStart scripts in Lucid? [00:53] silvernode: another linux distribution. Ubuntu isnt very "bleeding edge" [00:53] ActionParsnip: That's not my issue. I can get there. I do not see anything about a folder within that dialog. [00:53] Grexeo: /etc/init iirc [00:53] ActionParsnip, how can I use the cd as a repo for installations? [00:54] is there a way to enable two finger scrolling in ubuntu when the checkbox has been grayed out? [00:54] What's a good way to make it bleeding edge? [00:54] benjamintheyon: http://images.howtoforge.com/images/ubuntu_system_panel/big/2.jpg [00:54] silvernode: use a different distro. Ubuntu is not the distro for you if you want bleeding edge [00:54] Cryp71c: look in software sources in administration [00:54] jrib: thanks [00:54] Can someone give me a hand or answer a question in regards to samba and ubuntu ? [00:54] dominicdinad: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) === KindTwo46 is now known as KindOne [00:54] ActionParsnip: That's not my issue. I see that option. I can add many things. I cannot find a way to add a FOLDER specifically. [00:54] !commands [00:54] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

Any ideas? [00:55] silvernode: if you like ubuntu, I would recommend debian testing or maybe testing/unstable mix if you are comfortable doing that [00:55] does anyone know how to install "x3 reunion" on 10.04 i keep getting this error when trying to run the installer with wine "Setup.exe is not marked as an executable , if this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source it may be dangerous to run" [00:55] Flipper has crashed? Oh No! [00:55] chrometiger, right click properties permisons click allow to run as executible [00:56] wulfy: its on a cd [00:56] would this be the right place to get some help with a problem i'm having with upstart not setting runlevel on lucid? [00:56] I have audio in all users except one. Any ideas to fix it? [00:56] ActionParsnip, this netbook has no cd-rom drive, and I've already mounted the thumb drive that has the source. How can I trick the software sources into thinking this is a cdrom? [00:56] JetPackTuxedo, glipper has had problems for a while now, there are fixes, however it isn't simple. Best thing to do is install parcellite [00:56] chrometiger, no clue then :) normaly i run things right off the hdd [00:57] jrib, I come from Arch Linux. I was a loyal Ubuntu user for many years before. With the latest release of Ubuntu I am impressed. I was simply trying to see if it was possible to maybe add a repo or something to get the latest and greatest. [00:57] does anyone know how to install "x3 reunion" on 10.04 i keep getting this error when trying to run the installer with wine "Setup.exe is not marked as an executable , if this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source it may be dangerous to run" [00:57] silvernode: http://distrowatch.com/ [00:57] ne1 here upgraded to ubuntu 10 and running multi-head video on Nvidia? [00:57] silvernode: just not how ubuntu works. You could run the development version of ubuntu if you want, but it breaks and is meant for developers and testers [00:58] Gah WINE [00:58] benjamintheyon: just fired up my desktop system (adding stuff to panels seems hard in UNR) and indeed it isnt there [00:58] silvernode: maybe run that bleeding edge stuff in vbox? [00:58] jrib, I was using 10.04 beta for a while so I know what you mean. [00:58] ActionParsnip: Ok at least I'm not simple. Haha...any ideas? It doesn't appear built-in, do you know of a method? [00:59] hmw, I have tried over 100 distros on distrowatch and I came back to arch every time. Although Ubuntu still strikes a little love with me still. [00:59] shane2peru, is parcellite basically the same thing? [00:59] Cryp71c: i think if you use the apt-cdrom (or whatever the command is) then you can add it as a repo. There will be guides around on how to add it [00:59] benjamintheyon: let me websearch [00:59] silvernode: honestly, there's not much point in a rolling release. You probably have a handful of apps that you like and want the latest version of (for some reason; I won't go into that). If they are popular you can find ppas for them and if they aren't you can maintain them yourself. So you could use ubuntu that way [00:59] JetPackTuxedo, yes, it is the same thing [00:59] JetPackTuxedo, runs a little more stable though on the system [01:00] silvernode: I love Ubuntu. I hate Ubuntu. I can't decide. It's support is really awesome. [01:00] shane2peru, alright, thanks! [01:00] JetPackTuxedo, no problem [01:00] would ext4 and swap5 b my linux partitions [01:00] ActionParsnip: Thanks a bunch! The only thing I turned up was an ability to browse folders; I'm more interested in displaying a single folder's contents. I could do it via launchers but I'd have to update that manually. [01:00] benjamintheyon: so what do you exactly need [01:01] hmw, silvernode I too love ubuntu and then something breaks or something, but I just decided I'm going to stick with it, and keep a good running system, and I quit bouncing around. :) [01:01] I need to display the contents of a single folder in a panel, without having to simply create launchers for each of its items and manually update those when the folder contents change. [01:01] * acerimmer waves hello [01:01] shane2peru_ i want something with less magic. Perhaps I will build an LFS again. [01:02] benjamintheyon: you could use a gdesklet but it would display on the desktop and not the panel [01:02] hmw, enjoy, I just ran out of time to keep doing that. :) that is what draws me back every time, simple have a desktop running in about 40min. [01:02] !hi | acerimmer [01:02] acerimmer: 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! [01:02] hmw, When I tried Arch Linux I have to admit I was confused. Over time Arch Grew on me. Especially the AUR. There are so many programs in the AUR that I cannot find in Ubuntu. Now I am an avanced Arch user and I love it. [01:02] hmw: finally found the irc commands. just testing. [01:03] ActionParsnip: Hmm. That's strange, I feel like what I'm trying here is not that bizarre to not exist. But I suppose I'll look into gdesklet and get back to ya if I have questions. Thanks! [01:03] acerimmer: might be better to do that in another channel. try /join #ubuntu-offtopic or creat your own room [01:03] * iflema smoke me a kipper.... ill be back for breakfast.... [01:03] * iflema what a guy... [01:03] benjamintheyon: it did used to exist [01:03] iflema: FISH!

[01:04] ActionParsnip: Weird! seems like a no-brainer to me. Maybe a different DE or something. I'll check out the gdesklets. thanks.

Do you use 64bit? [01:06] ActionParsnip: I saw that and it's a little different than my goal. I was hoping to replace icons/files on my desktop with an auto-hiding panel to clean things up, but it doesn't look like that's possible. I really appreciate your wild goose chase though haha [01:06] how do I run programs installed by gem as root? [01:07] wow,so many person [01:07] benjamintheyon: seems to fit the bill from what I can see [01:07] Hello fellows. Recenly I've downloaded DVD ISO images of Lucid from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com and checked their sha256 hash sums - everything is correct. But when I check the authenticity of SHA256SUMS file with gpg - it says file have BAD signature from "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key". [01:07] Am I doing something wrong with checking the signature? Or SHA256SUMS.gpg file on ubuntu mirrors really did not match the SHA256SUMS file hosted there? Did anyone except me tried to check the signature? [01:07] Without checking the signature we can't trust in authenticity of ISO images. [01:07] Full output of sha256sum, wget and gpg commands you can see here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ECyj7zaF [01:07] benjamintheyon: cairo-dock possibly.. it has an auto-hide feature plus is a dock for your launchers [01:07] what is the command to show where all the files for a package are installed ?? [01:08] if I do sudo rake, I get command not found, I added /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to root's .bashrc, I removed evn_reset from sudoers [01:08] chrometiger: you may need to copy the data to your HDD to set the executable bit [01:08] ActionParsnip: In all honesty, it's an aesthetics thing. I just wanted a single panel to monitor everything in a particular folder, and display an icon for each in the panel, with that panel auto-hiding. I feel bad that you're still looking for me, I'm being picky and I know it. haha [01:08] Lichte: "dpkg -L packagename" [01:08] bastid_raZor: I'll look into cairo-dock, thanks [01:08] thanks skyrider [01:08] I'm trying to run a game under Ubuntu running on VirtualBox; perhaps not surprisingly, I get an error: OpenGL Warning: XGetVisualInfo returned 0 visuals for 9a5a0e0 [01:08] I can always do sudo su -, but it seems subversive [01:08] benjamintheyon: well if its not right you won't install it so makes sense [01:08] MadWombat: use: sudo -i instead [01:08] ActionParsnip: tried that, same result [01:09] MadWombat: where do the apps get installed to? [01:09] is there any hope that I could reconfigure something and get it working, or should I just give up? [01:09] ActionParsnip: /var/lib/gems/1.8 [01:09] MadWombat: it could also be that the program you want to start is not in your current users' $PATH, try running it with the full pathname [01:09] it is [01:09] hi, i want ti install joomla on localhost but i have LAMPP so i dont have a htdocs but my path is in /var/www/ so i put there the joomla files but when i typed http://localhost/joomla/ the installation page didnt came up [01:09] ActionParsnip: That's exactly it. I just want all icons off my desktop, but still have easy and aesthetically pleasing access to them. I'll come up with something that suits me, thanks again for all your help! [01:09] any ideas? [01:09] siropio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:10] dpratt71, have you checked if your game will run under Wine? [01:10] !it [01:10] 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) [01:10] ActionParsnip: i was hoping for a work around, i was going to do that as last resort [01:10] !patience | dpratt71 [01:10] dpratt71: 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. [01:10] Trellian: I checked, it is in the path [01:10] dpratt71: Applications which require direct hardware access are probably not best run under an emulator [01:10] benjamintheyon: look into 'shortcuts' or 'quick browser' plugins === ahmed is now known as Guest58229 [01:10] slm [01:10] bastid_raZor: Is this for cairo-dock or gnome-panel? [01:10] benjamintheyon: cairo-dock [01:10] MadWombat: i assume it's also chmod +x ? [01:10] chrometiger: the file is read only so you cannot change the files unfortunately [01:11] dpratt71: also don't assume, that everyone has read the text, you are referring to with "someone knows it?". Keep posting your issue every now and then (perhaps something between 5 and 15 minutes) while you try finding a soluition on google. [01:11] Trellian: yes [01:11] bastid_raZor: Ok will do. One last -- does cairo-dock play nice with gnome/gnome-panel? [01:11] hmw: or any other search engine ;) [01:12] ActionParsnip: oh, i almost forgot, that there are some. my bad. [01:12] benjamintheyon: yes, it has the ability to replace the bottom panel with some of its plugins also the top if you desire. it is a do-all dock. [01:12] ActionParsnip: got it finally in terminal switch user, then wine "drag exe from cd into ternimal" works [01:12] hmw: thats why i ALWAYS say websearch. I think the phrase "google it" and suchlike is constrictive and immature [01:12] bastid_raZor: Beautiful. As soon as I get file sharing set up on this thing I'll give it a whirl! [01:13] hmw: I am a bit confused by your responses [01:13] ActionParsnip: yea. i'll try memorize that phrase of yours [01:13] chrometiger: switch use to what? [01:13] I do not want to dual boot but I have three 250 gig hard drives, one is sata and two are ide, if I unplug the windows 7 on the sata and install ubuntu on the ide and tell the bios to boot from sata first I could still F8 and pick the ide ubuntu to boot to that one when I want to right??? [01:13] root [01:13] my xorg.0.log has "EE: Failed to Initilize GLX (NVIDIA compatible driver not found)" <<- and i dont even have an nvidia card... intel. help? [01:13] drpratt71: don't forget the ubuntu forum [01:13] chrometiger: then it will need to be ran as root as it will install to /root/.wine and not /home/$USER/.wine [01:14] woodyjlw: that's correct [01:14] dpratt71: sorry, i was just confused about your question "can someome help me with that" and i didnt know, what "that" you were refering to. ;-) also, there is no use in asking ever 10 seconds, people here tend to help, if they can. Welcome to Ubuntu, btw. [01:14] woodyjlw: Much depends on how the bios reports what drives it sees to the operating system [01:14] woodyjlw: techically all drives are IDE, you mean PATA [01:14] rythmbox not add file [01:14] why ? [01:14] Anyone have a link to a great simple Samba tutorial for sharing between two Ubuntu machines on a LAN? I'm finding a ton that are not relevant [01:14] sweb: permissions. check em. [01:14] ActionParsnip: ah right, crap let me start over lol [01:15] Trellian, I thought so , thanks [01:15] woodyjlw: Unplugging a drive re-arranges the order the bios reports them for instance [01:15] damn borked upgrdes... every time... liek you guys are aiming at me... [01:15] djustice, it's a network folder that i can play by dblclick with totem [01:15] woodyjlw: or you can just disable the drives you want leaving in BIOS. Much easier [01:15] benjamintheyon: for simple filesharing i would use NFS instead of samba, it is just that much easier to configure [01:15] benjamintheyon: one needs to set a smb password somehow. weird thing. perhaps this helps: http://80.109.22.34/micro-cms/self-pc/howto/ubuntu-linux/network/gnome-file-sharing.html [01:15] genii, I know . I would have to reconfigure bios when done [01:16] Hello! Anyone here use moc to listen to shoutcast streams? I just installed streamtuner and it closes when I try to listen to a shoutcast stream - any ideas? [01:16] ActionParsnip, yes that too [01:16] !samba > benjamintheyon .. follow the links [01:16] benjamintheyon, please see my private message [01:16] Trellian: That'll be perfect - does it allow for Windows file sharing down the line? That is an eventual goal. If not, I should probably start with Samba? [01:16] hmw: it was intended as a two-part question: state the circumstances and then ask the question; apologies if I annoyed anyone [01:16] hmw: I'll take a peak at that, thank you. [01:16] bastid_raZor: Thanks! [01:16] dpratt71: you didnt annoy me, i was trying to be helpful. [01:16] in karmic I was running the Zopier Communicator (alsa) SIP client but I found I could not have skype and zoiper running as they would steal each others audio. There is also an OSS version of zoiper, so now that I'm on lucid and about to re-install it which would be recommended ? [01:16] benjamintheyon: well, yes and no... windows does have support for nfs, but if your ultimate goal is to also use windows clients then i would advice not to use nfs [01:17] djustice, any idea ? [01:17] benjamintheyon: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/80811 has a sample of my smb.conf file, you will need to run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER to add a samba account if you are sharing your home folder some. Just paste the snippet in /etc/samba/smb.conf and reboot, you can now access the samba share nice, obviously chamge user names and such as you need [01:17] I love 10.04 but still cant get my gaming where I want it with my ati 2600 hd. the proprietary ati driver still sucks. unless there is a better open source one [01:17] I would love to boot MS completely [01:17] Trellian: OK. I do have a windows server I'd eventually like to connect to. But maybe I'll just throw together NFS real quick to get some music on my brothers brand new Ubuntu machine. Thanks!! [01:18] ActionParsnip: Hmm that's almost over my head. I'll save that message and review it when I understand. I think I'll start with NFS for the time being. Thanks for the help [01:18] benjamintheyon: the page pretty much shows how to configure samba :). You will need to install samba too: sudo apt-get install samba [01:18] benjamintheyon: if it's just to quickly exchange some files, you could also just scp them to your brothers' machine [01:19] i cannot load network derive with rythmbox please help me [01:19] benjamintheyon: if you read the page its actually hugely simple :) [01:19] add file add folder not work in rythmbox [01:19] Hello! Anyone here use moc to listen to shoutcast streams? I just installed streamtuner and it closes when I try to listen to a shoutcast stream - any ideas? [01:19] Trellian: I'm not sure what that is. I'd like to keep it permanently available. [01:19] ActionParsnip: Ok you've persuaded me to take the plunge. Samba it is. Hahaha [01:19] sweb: mount it and then tell rhythmnbox to use the mount point folder [01:20] it may also be worth mentioning that this is an open source game (and compiles under Linux) and I am running a VirtualBox VM with hardware acceleration enabled [01:20] is there a better way to configure my ati 2600hd without using the hardware drivers to fetch it? I still get a lot of screen tearing in WOW [01:20] benjamintheyon: scp is like copy, but then over the network [01:20] I should say "3D acceleration enabled" [01:21] Trellian: I see... [01:21] woodyjlw: are you running wow in directx or opengl mode? [01:21] eed some upgrade help. Can I upgrade from ubuntu 9.10 to kubuntu 10.04 [01:21] ActionParsnip? how can mount 'smb://vashka-desktop/1tb/' ? [01:21] benjamintheyon: whats also cool is if you use the text file config you can ssh over, edit the file in nano / vi etc, restart the service and BAM another share [01:21] benjamintheyon, for a longer term and better solution, consider looking at something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezebox_Server [01:21] sweb: you can add samba mounts in /etc/fstab [01:21] Anyone know why streamtuner keeps shutting down when I try to play a shoutcast stream? [01:22] sweb: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ [01:22] mdg: have run it in a terminal to see if it prints an error? [01:22] Trellian, umm not sure, but I bet in direct x... lol I bet that would be why. I will try to run in opengl then. I bet that would fix it [01:22] ActionParsnip: In other words remotely add shares? Also real quick if I have a partition called "Storage" mounted, what would the terminal path be to that? [01:22] mdg: launch it from terminal, the output may help [01:22] okay... [01:22] hipitihop: Hmm...I'll check it out! [01:22] woodyjlw: from the top of my head you use the '-opengl' switch to start Wow.exe [01:22] benjamintheyon: indeed, and you wont need silly vnc to do it either ;) [01:22] sweb: nope. just permissions. what does 'add' mean? add the file's location to the current playlist? bc it doesnt support that particular file protocol i guess... dunno. i dont use it.

[01:24] hry [01:24] hey [01:24] how do i auth myself on this server? [01:24] djustice: that's happening because you installed the nvidia driver at some point [01:24] can someone help me debug an upstart issue i'm having where the runlevel is not properly set? it's not because there's no 'lo' entry in /etc/network/interfaces as many launchpad bugs state.

[01:47] ActionParsnip, ok thanks.. i will download the 64bit version [01:47] i know this probably doen't have anything to do with ubuntu [01:47] after updating kernel it says "keep the local version currently installed" [01:47] Kinda like "read" my mind on what I was looking for. (FYI, it's not ctrl+f2) [01:47] iAccepted, I think that Synaptic just has the one 'perl' application there. [01:47] anyone use Evolution Mail? if so, I want to know how to switch from one synchronize account mailbox to another. [01:47] i just want the new kernel! [01:47] pad_s: remember to md5 test the iso before downloading [01:47] help! [01:47] not downloading, burning [01:48] k0d3g3ar: Synaptic, Sorry im a noob by the way.

[01:48] ActionParsnip, is that to make sure its downloaded properly ? [01:48] I've sifted thru log files and haven't really found anything pertaining to my problem [01:48] pad_s: exactly ;) [01:48] ActionParsnip configuration file grub [01:48] ActionParsnip, sure will do.. thank you [01:48] iAccepted, Go to your System Menu, select Administration, and then Synaptic Package Manager. Then do a search for 'perl' and you can download it right from there [01:48] can someone tell me how to get the gnome filemanager to stop opening up new windows? [01:48] Can anyone help me with Evolution Mail. It's a very simple question. [01:49] !ask | CloudMonkee [01:49] CloudMonkee: 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. :-) [01:49] any command line junkies here tonight who listen to internet radio? [01:49] uLinux: I'd say install the maintainers, if you check the differences you can see whats shaking but usually the maintainers is ok [01:49] anyone? lol. [01:49] ok ill do it [01:49] !anyone | lol [01:49] lol: 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? [01:49] mdg: yes, but not via the cli [01:49] Who was talking earlier about removing things from the tray bar in UNR? Is there anyway to do that? [01:49] StevenX: sounds like gnomedo [01:50] reboot brb [01:50] !lol | hmw [01:50] hmw: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks.

[01:50] StevenX: try launchy [01:50] iAccepted, you can use GEdit or any IDE for your code. They are just text files afterall [01:50] @gnac: open up a folder and go to Edit -> Preferences [01:51] hmw: what do you mean [01:51] As I use ubuntu more and more my biggest fear is in buying accessories. How do you know if they will work with Ubuntu? For instance, do I need be picky when buying an external hard drive to use as a back up drive? === kenny is now known as Guest52771 [01:51] vsingh165: I didn't see anything there about new windows.

I must be doing something wrong [01:51] dominicdinad: i was refering to someone else, who used LOL. nevermind. i am usually not using any abbrevations [01:51] maestrojed, you should be fine with any devices that use common interfaces (ie. USB, Firewire, etc.). Ubuntu has excellent interface support built in [01:51] k0d3g3ar: Ugh, this is going to be hard ill look it up i don't want to bother you,. [01:51] @gnac: go to "Behavior" tab, and there's an option "Open each folder in its own window" [01:51] can anyone help with my Ubuntu 10 wifi signal on my laptop? for some reason it seems to flash for packets either received or transmitted [01:52] K0d3g3ar: thank you [01:52] now i have 2 different kernel entries [01:52] vsingh165: ty [01:52] I'm running Ubuntu 9.04, and, for some reason, I can't get my Nvidia Geforce GT 220 card to be recognized to run proprietary drivers. Anyone, at all, know the solution to the problem? [01:52] uLinux: if the current kernel is ok, you can remove the old one. i'd test for a while just to be sure [01:52] CloudMonkee, do you have the NVidia drivers installed? [01:52] gnac: np...by the way, are you having issues with gnome in 10.04 (if you're running that) [01:53] vsingh165: no, not yet. [01:53] CloudMonkee: add the nvidia vpau ppa and install the nvidia-lx-185 package which will install the latest 195 driver [01:53] gnac: my cursor sometimes goes nuts and cycles thru all the menus and buttons for a few seconds, then comes back to normal again. it's weird [01:53] k0deg3ar, no i don't. it usually just recognizes it. In 9.10 & 10.04, it does, but I have to run 9.04 for vmware workstation [01:53] lol, no, haven't seen that. [01:53] vsingh165: after it happens run: dmesg | tail -n 20 [01:54] ubuntu shows a weird color when is shutting down [01:54] vsingh165: see if it gives any clues [01:54] but this happens since lucid [01:54] vsingh165: do you have a mobile phone near the mouse cable (if its a wired one) [01:54] uLinux, its desired [01:55] and before showing Login window [01:55] uLinux: that should be not a problem. they just are too lazy to program some clearing of the video RAM. I wonder, why they dont fix this. On my computers, Linux often looks weird, while shutting down. [01:55] ActionParsnip: found something in dmesg (lemme pastebin it) [01:55] it shows something but the image is weird [01:55] vsingh165: pastebin away [01:55] Hrm, trying to get wireless working, sudo ifconfig -a lists a "wlan0" ; I try "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" and get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" [01:55] maybe thats because they dont shutdown too often [01:55] Cryp71c: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see SSIDs? [01:55] uLinux: heh. that might be it. [01:56] how can i get python-lxml 2.2.2 or better? apt-get is choosing lxml 2.1.5 [01:56] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/HN1X7A5j [01:56] and sometimes i have to reajust the displaying image [01:56] ActionParsnip: it logs that everytime the mouse gues nuts [01:56] ActionParsnip, wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [01:56] after boot [01:56] ActionParsnip: i do have wireless keybd but mouse is wired, maybe that has to do with it? [01:56] vsingh165: ok now use that output in websearches to find bugs and/or guides [01:56] ActionParsnip: this never happens in win7 [01:56] k [01:57] vsingh165: what windows does or doesnt do is moot [01:57] !windows [01:57] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[01:58] ahhh!! lol some help. Was following the tutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM and it wants me to install grub but ive no idea what to chose [01:58] vsingh165: windows is a completely different OS with different drivers and different support [01:58] can someone help me debug an upstart issue i'm having where the runlevel is not properly set? it's not because there's no 'lo' entry in /etc/network/interfaces as many launchpad bugs state. The system boots, but stalls halfway during the boot process, if i then ssh into the box the runlevel command returns unknown, manually doing telinit 2 will compleet the boot process [01:58] vsingh165: if it didnt happen in say redat then thatis of interest [01:58] vsingh165: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6105 [01:58] how can i get a package from lucid if i'm using jaunty?

[02:26] ActionParsnip: always "tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive" [02:26] aaron-n-nikki: "unrar" [02:26] aaragh, i hate upstart :( [02:26] is that the name of it? [02:26] unop: My end goal is to run a script that will log me into my network - I get kicked off after an hour of inactivity. So the only time I have to log back in is when I wake up in the morning [02:27] ActionParsnip, flash is still not working on firefox after following all instructions [02:27] !unrar\ [02:27] that is the command [02:27] aaron-n-nikki: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [02:27] aaron-n-nikki: Install the unrar-nonfree package. It has rar and unrar command line programs [02:27] Narya: what browser do you use? [02:27] Firefox ActionParsnip [02:27] unop: er, rather, resume my computer* (I have a script to handle all the other inactivity [02:27] hi I download via synaptic Solar theme now, how I can install it? [02:27] sudo apt-get install unrar free [02:27] anybody know? [02:28] How do I get a command to work without a path prepended? I tried putting the script in /bin, but it still can't find it. [02:28] vago_: for Plymouth? [02:28] in system>> preference there is broadcast too but gwibber's not loading [02:28] sebsebseb, yes [02:28] vago_: remove the other theme's and it should use that one instead [02:28] Cornwall, I would keep the connection alive perhaps to avoid the inactivity - like pinging a host every set interval [02:28] Apparently the system is looking for the script in my home directory [02:28] Dark_Wolf: Did you mark the script as executable? [02:28] vago_: well that Ubuntu text boot one, can probably stay [02:28] sebsebseb, what is Plymouth? [02:28] are u sure? and how I can remove default theme? [02:28] Plugh: Yeah [02:29] Dark_Wolf, /bin has to be in your PATH variable [02:29] unop: During sleep? How would I achieve that? [02:29] vago_: in Synaptic [02:29] !plymouth [02:29] vago_: there may be another way to do this, but this is the way I know works [02:29] I have to reset my bluetooth visibility every time I reboot or wake to reconnect my mouse and it wont save the bluetooth name after I enter it in... using 10.04 [02:29] unop: /bin isn't by default? O-o [02:29] ok I will try it right now [02:29] hiexpo: no factoid yet, but maybe there should be one [02:29] hy everybody [02:29] yes [02:29] Plugh: how do I install the package? [02:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/428665/ this is the error that pops up after trying gwibber in the terminal [02:29] Dark_Wolf, do check. echo "$PATH" [02:29] I miss a volume control in the panel. where can I find that? [02:29] shane2peru_: the graphical boot up that Fedora and Mandriva had before Ubuntu, unfortuatnly it does not like propritary Nivida or ATI drivers, well I guess that depends on the driver [02:29] Cornwall, hmm, well - wicd then [02:29] ah [02:30] sebsebseb, which one I need to remove? there is no any default theme in synaptic [02:30] is it that a file is missing or some problem with proxy? [02:30] unop: Thanks :) [02:30] how do i go about enabling custom keyboard shortcuts? I cannot assign a key combo to the shortcuts [02:30] vago_: search synaptic for plymouth [02:30] sebsebseb, ahh, ok, thanks [02:30] Dark_Wolf, is it? because if i remember correctly, for non-root users ubuntu has a skewed PATH [02:30] It's /usr/bin [02:30] aaron-n-nikki: You can install it using Synaptic [02:30] sebsebseb, I search but there is no something like default theme.. [02:30] shane2peru_: your not on 10.04 yet? [02:30] ActionParsnip, the Adobe Flash Player 64 bit alpha installer is installed [02:30] unop: I really like networkmanager, though.... :(. Do you not know of a way to run a script on resume? I have found /etc/pm/suspend.d, but that runs a script on both suspend and resume, I believe. My script blocks will suspend from working. [02:31] aaron-n-nikki: sudo find / -name "libflashplayer.so" [02:31] vago_: no it won't say default theme, just look to see what thems are installed [02:31] vago_: have you got more than one theme installed? [02:31] sebsebseb, no [02:31] splash(while booting) isn't shown in ubuntu lucid. how could i fix this? [02:31] Narya: cool, but it doesnt run in firefox? [02:31] vago_: no plymouth ubuntu-text or anything like that? [02:31] nevermind, found it ^.^ [02:31] sudo find rar unrar [02:32] Henry_BR: ok what do you see instead? [02:32] Is there a way to bunch wallpapers together in the same way the space ones are bunched? [02:32] plymouth-ubuntu-logo [02:32] and [02:32] Narya: sudo find / -name "libflashplayer.so" what is output? Did you restart firefox after installing it? [02:32] plymouth-ubuntu-text [02:32] vago_: right those are the defaults [02:32] aaron-n-nikki: can use: which rar; which unrar [02:32] remove and logo and text? [02:32] vago_: text can probably stay, but be sure to remove plymouth-ubuntu-logo if you want the solor theme instead === diabolical is now known as dominicdinada [02:32] can someone help me debug an upstart issue i'm having where the runlevel is not properly set? it's not because there's no 'lo' entry in /etc/network/interfaces as many launchpad bugs state. The system boots, but stalls halfway during the boot process, if i then ssh into the box the runlevel command returns unknown, manually doing telinit 2 will compleet the boot process [02:33] Cornwall, I believe I've used a script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ sometime ago [02:33] sebsebseb, oh, I have been on 10.04 for over a month now, guess I'm just not up on this stuff, I spend too much time using my computer instead of tinkering lately. :) [02:33] sebsebseb, I find this way [02:33] sudo update-alternatives --install \ [02:33] /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth default.plymouth \ [02:33] /lib/plymouth/themes/solar/solar.plymouth 100 [02:33] vago_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:33] sebsebseb, a black window [02:33] I will try it right now, after that I will try how u say :-) [02:33] that was the problem forgot to restart FF. Thanks again ActionParsnip [02:33] Henry_BR: right yeah I know about this kind of issue [02:33] Henry_BR: Which graphics card you got? [02:33] is there an easy way in ubuntu to set up a network scanner? [02:33] Almost done with my upgrade from Karmic->Lucid. Round of applause please? [02:33] Cornwall, you have to check what $1 is in the script - it can be one of "suspend", "hibernate", "resume" or "thaw" -- so you can base your actions on this condition [02:33] sorry looks like a bug has already been reported [02:33] intel g950 i guess [02:33] unop: my problem is that my script uses the lynx text browser in the background to log in. When I suspend, I cannot get to that login page because I haven't been timed out yet. I tried setting a timeout for the script, but it still inhibits suspend.. === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:34] Narya: cool, thought it would be ;) [02:34] unop: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with $1 [02:34] I crashed ubuntu 10.04 on my dual boot. I am going to install on different drive and dont want to have to reinstall windows7 so is there a way to fix the boot sector for windows and delete the broken ubuntu? [02:34] Henry_BR: or if you don't know, well Nivida or ATI? Intel maybe? === qwerty is now known as Guest45649 [02:34] does anyone know where the empathy tray icon images are located in the filesystem? [02:34] unop: Alright now...new problem: It's only running one dock at a time. It waits until one closes before opening the other [02:34] markl_: do you mean access one or setup ubuntu as a network scanning server? [02:34] Cornwall, $1 being the first argument passed to the script when it is called. [02:35] Is there a way to bunch wallpapers together in the same way the space papers are bunched? [02:35] easy way synaptic unrar free [02:35] sebsebseb, it work but only when I shutdown computer [02:35] sebsebseb, When I start it, it use old login form, and no animation.. just black screen.. default loading is not show too [02:35] unop: How would I go about basing actions via condition? You don't have to tell me, but I don't really know how to google for this [02:36] Dark_Wolf, you might want to send the task into the background .. add a & to the end of your command. [02:36] vago__: hrm [02:36] vago__: Which graphics card? [02:36] ActionParsnip: Says no such file or directory. I did sudo apt-get install rar unrar [02:36] !info rar | aaron-n-nikki [02:36] sebsebseb, is an intel... let me see... INTEL 950 128MB [02:36] ubuntunewb: Have you tried something like /usr/share/empathy? [02:36] sebsebseb, Intel HD 4100 or something like that.. Dell Inspiron default card [02:36] :-) [02:36] aaron-n-nikki: rar (source: rar): Archiver for .rar files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:3.9.b2-1 (lucid), package size 542 kB, installed size 1164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) === debian is now known as Guest10750 [02:36] is there any console/terminals that blend into the desktop background [02:36] aaron-n-nikki: make sure you have multiverse repo enabled [02:37] unop: ah, I'm guessing I use if/then. So would I say "if pm-suspend"? [02:37] sebsebseb, now i remove it from synaptic [02:37] will try again [02:37] right you both got Intel Henry_BR and vago__ you both should be able to use Plymouth with that === Guest10750 is now known as manchot [02:37] Cornwall, in the script you'd have something like. case "$1" in suspend) my_suspend_command_here;; resume) my_resume_command_here;; esac [02:37] ActionParsnip: how i do that? [02:37] manchot: The default terminal is transparent in Lucid. You can also set earlier versions to do this with profiles. [02:37] aaron-n-nikki: use software sources in administration [02:37] Dark_Wolf: i looked for it, but didn't find it; maybe i overlooked it. let me try again. === shonen is now known as codingjester [02:37] Cornwall, yea, basically conditional checking - you can use your if/then/else if you like [02:37] Where can i get help with 10.04 [02:38] jdsanderson: here :P [02:38] jdsanderson: yeah here [02:38] !ask | jdsanderson [02:38] jdsanderson: 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. :-) [02:38] I am having video driver problems [02:38] sebsebseb, now it work :-) [02:38] unop: excellent. I'll fiddle with this. Ubuntu does use pm-utils, doesn't it? [02:38] !details | jdsanderson [02:38] jdsanderson: 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 ..." [02:38] sebsebseb, do you know, how change login form ? [02:38] sebsebseb, I have tried to do: sudo aptitude reinstall Plymouth... didn't work [02:38] Cornwall, well, check out some of the other scripts in that directory - should give you an idea of how to construct the script of yours [02:38] and cant find xorg.conf [02:38] vago_: what's up with your log in screen? [02:39] Henry_BR: uhmm plymouth is already installed by default [02:39] sebsebseb, for example from art.gnome.org [02:39] ubuntunewb: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux_customize_terminal.html <-- Check there [02:39] Cornwall, I'm not too sure actually - I run a system that's far removed from ubuntu as it stands [02:39] ati radion moble m6 ly [02:39] Henry_BR: in 10.04 [02:39] sebsebseb, it use default login form, but I wanna change it :-( [02:39] ActionParsnip: don't see multiverse repo [02:39] jdsanderson, What exactly is the driver problem ? [02:39] unop: ha, okay. Well, I will try this out. Thanks so much for your help [02:39] jdsanderson: lucid annoyingly doesnt ship with an xorg.conf [02:39] vago_: there is some sort of program in the repo that can get a background from Gnome and put as background in GDM 2. GDM 2 sucks though, may as well use KDM or something else really :) [02:39] sebsebseb, i tried to (re)install [02:39] sebsebseb, KDM? what is that ? :-) [02:40] vago_: KDE Display Manager [02:40] vago_: of course if you never installed a KDE app on there before, it is going to want to put on quite a lot of stuff [02:40] aaron-n-nikki: under the ubuntu software tab iths the 4th tickbox down [02:40] ubuntunewb: The only annoying thing about versions of the terminal pre-Lucid is that the transparency goes straight to the desktop; it doesn't show underlying windows [02:40] aaron-n-nikki: it says multiverse in the brackets [02:41] sebsebseb, :-D but Gnome not bad too :-) I watched some videos in Youtube ;-) I never installed KDE yet :-) [02:41] sometimes ti works, sometimes it freezes, sometimes it 3ds some times it dosent sometimes i close the lid and it starts workin when i open it again sometimes i have to re boot............ [02:41] sebsebseb, which program u can advice to change login screen ? [02:41] Dark_Wolf: terminal? I'm trying to fix empathy. It has a bugged icon for one of its functions, and i'm trying to fix it :P [02:41] vago_: well since uhmm I guess 2004 or was that 2005, I have mixed Gnome and KDE apps [02:41] jdsanderson, are you using the restricted drivers ? [02:41] ActionParsnip: ubuntu software center? [02:41] vago_: so Gnome usauly with KDE apps in it, sometimes other way round though [02:41] no [02:41] full screen flash updates screen very slowly and/or hangs (lucid amd64) [02:41] im having slow transfer rate with ubuntu i have a iw3945abg wireless card, is it any bug reported? [02:42] I got the min/max/close gadgets appearing where I wanted them by resetting the theme via System->Preferences->Appearance [02:42] no restricted drivers preasent [02:42] ubuntunewb: Sorry... helping two people at once is hard xD [02:42] vago_: since neither Desktop environment is good enough for me on it's own [02:42] this was working all throught the alphas and only got broke on the last RC [02:42] manchot: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux_customize_terminal.html <-- Check there [02:42] aaron-n-nikki: no, under the system menu -> administration -> software sources [02:42] manchot: The only annoying thing about versions of the terminal pre-Lucid is that the transparency goes straight to the desktop; it doesn't show underlying windows [02:42] is it ok to set /boot to noauto? will apt dist-upgrades automount it? [02:42] right now it is working [02:42] but took three boots [02:42] jdsanderson, I'd recommend using the restricted drivers [02:42] aaron-n-nikki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=mainmenu.png [02:42] cause the FOSS version are rather buggy i think. [02:43] aaron-n-nikki: i can't make it any clearer now [02:43] vago_: KDM yeah :) uhmm LXDM by default that will say Lubuntu if you install from Ubuntu repo, a rather nice screen though. There's slim as well which will say Debian if you install from the repo, and that one is rather customizable it seems by the site that it woudn't take much to make your own theme. [02:43] Hello all! [02:43] ActionParsnip: i'm there just don't see it [02:43] I'm considering to remove EMPATHY because this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/573814 . Does anyone know what program should I use instead of Empathy? [02:43] Dark_Wolf, thank you. I am reading it. [02:43] there isn't one all the old ati drivers are open sorce [02:43] sebsebseb, I have not installed Desktop Environment [02:43] vago_: even a way to get the old GDM working, but that's a bit pointless [02:43] sebsebseb, I install it right now :-)) [02:43] Henry_BR, pidgin? [02:43] vago_: uh no you don't understand then [02:43] Dark_Wolf: It's fine :) [02:43] aaron-n-nikki: http://cybernetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/ubuntu-software-sources-proprietary-drivers.jpg its the bottom tick box in the highlighted area [02:44] sebsebseb, ? :-) [02:44] ActionParsnip: check marked [02:44] Dark_Wolf: I've looked high and low for the icon stash, and i can't seem to find the set i'm looking for. [02:44] vago_: you already have one it's called Gnome [02:44] jdsanderson, I dunno, there's two differnet sets of ATI drivers floating.. one community built, one built by ATI themselves. [02:44] vago_: KDE is another popular one [02:44] i would like to force hardy's driver it worked perfecrt [02:44] sebsebseb, but I find in repo GNOME Desktop Enviroment package [02:44] aaron-n-nikki: ok click close and run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get rar unrar [02:44] vago_: and you can mix Gnome and KDE apps together [02:44] Dark_Wolf, can I launch a borderless, transparent, maximized terminal that goes into the background? [02:44] vago_: Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE [02:45] manchot: I think I know what you're looking for, or something similar. Give me a sec. [02:45] sebsebseb, I uninstall kubuntu because it not work with my wifi [02:45] hang on , i'll find which one he is using right now [02:45] Hello all! === phantom is now known as Guest44568 [02:45] vago_: Lubuntu uses LXDE.

[02:47] vago_: yes [02:47] manchot: yakuake may be as close as you can get [02:47] vago_: one of them will be the default, and you can choose the other one from the log in screen, when you want it [02:47] sebsebseb, really I install Ubuntu for skype, because when I install kubuntu, I can't install skype I don't know why :-( [02:47] manchot: http://weichen.files.wordpress.com/2007/02/screenshot5.png [02:48] sebsebseb, I try again same package, but no changes.. [02:48] vago_: you should be able to run Skype in Kubuntu as well [02:48] jdsanderson, I'd try the restricted drivers if it's not enabled [02:48] they may be more stable === flamekebab_ is now known as Flamekebab [02:48] ? [02:48] Dark_Wolf, yakuake is the program to have that effect?

[02:49] sebsebseb, is it ok that I install ubuntu and kubuntu with Wubi? [02:49] hiexpo: after you 'identify' to the services on connection. [02:49] ChromiumChris, you may want to consolidate your question to one line, and give them a minute [02:49] vago_: just like you don't need the whole of Lubuntu installed to have it's LXDM log in screen [02:49] ok [02:49] manchot: Yakuake slides a teminal down from the top of the screen. It's transparent and spreads the width of the screen. It's also borderless except for the bottom, but that may be removable. [02:49] ChromiumChris, right, like that. :) [02:49] sebsebseb, there is not chance change login screen and add effect in Gnome?

[02:55] So, I installed 10.04 and now I can't figure out how to add depth to the windows in my rotating cube, I have the feeling those settings have been moved somewhere else... [02:55] vago_: indeed it's not that configurable unlike the old version [02:55] vago_: look for the tool 'gdm2setup' or other unoffical tools. [02:55] vago_: you will need another program to change the background [02:55] Dark_Wolf, I have yet to test the pompous kde environment. [02:56] facugaich, are you using Compiz? === eric is now known as Guest53747 [02:56] Dr_Willis: there is something in the repo that will change background by the way [02:56] hey that guake is pretty neat [02:56] Hi everithing [02:56] ActionParsnip, here people, free software community, says that gnu/linux should be used... in schools, home, etc... But, I feels like it cause more hating than loving... I feels like first the community should implement a better OS before want people, simple users, using it. I don't know... [02:56] Dr_Willis: or at least get from Gnome website first, and then be able to do it [02:56] manchot: The terminal's going to work the same in GNOME as it would in KDE [02:56] Dr_Willis: when the user has picked a background [02:56] ChromiumChris, yes and CompizConfig [02:56] sebsebseb: You can run the gnome-setings tool as the 'gdm' user and cahnge a fews things [02:56] some chilean ? [02:56] Henry_BR: thats the goal of ubuntu [02:56] Dr_Willis: right, but this person is a new user [02:56] Hmm [02:56] uhm, my 10.04 is barfing on me. my sudo password isn't working. wtf [02:56] facugaich, under Effects, the first option should be 3D Windows [02:57] sebsebseb: or just edit that ugly default wallpaper in gimp [02:57] wo_spill: your "sudo password" should be the same as your user's password [02:57] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/change-gdm-login-screen-background-in.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28Omg!+Ubuntu!%29 [02:57] wo_spill: boot to root recovery mode and run: passwd foo replace foo with your usual username [02:57] !info python [02:57] Dr_Willis, I find it, now install it [02:57] python (source: python-defaults): An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version).

[02:57] manchot: Scratch that, yakuake is buggy in GNOME. Use Tilda instead. [02:57] sebsebseb: it should. [02:57] jrib -- I know. I'm not a total newb, but I'm really suprised that 10.04 isn't working (wifi) 'out of the box' [02:57] Dark_Wolf, trying guake now. will test Tilda in a moment. Thank you ! [02:57] Dr_Willis: anyway you calling both default backgrounds ugly so 9.10 and 10.04 or? [02:57] sebsebseb: i set up grub, gdm, and my user to use the same wallpaper. :) that way i dont see it ever really change [02:58] wo_spill: is your issue wifi or sudo? [02:58] ActionParsnip: scanner, i have an HP all in one printer/scanner with an ethernet port. i'm also a total n00b at scanners. what is the easiest way to set it up? [02:58] ActionParsnip, but Ubuntu has many bugs... I'm considering try another system. I don't know. With 9.10 i didn't have problems, but now... 10.04 is fucking stressing me [02:58] Dr_Willis: I was like bugger GDM 2, i'll just use KDM instead :) [02:58] mc_: Under "Effects" there's Animations, Blur Windows, Fading Windows, Minimize Effect, Water Effect, Windows Decoration and Wobbly Windows [02:58] can it scan and dump the files on a samba share or something, or should I configure it via usb [02:58] sebsebseb: i perfer a simple solid color.. so Yes.. I find most of the 'dithered gradient rorshack tests' ugly :) [02:58] ? [02:58] manchot: though Tilda may not be very pretty. Either way, good luck. Time for me to go [02:58] Dr_Willis: also what I like about KDM is with more than one user on the computer, it will have the user name, of the last person that was on it ,showing in text === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:58] Henry_BR: windows also has many bugs [02:58] sebsebseb: set it to auto login, and you never notice it. :) [02:58] hay guys hows everyone doing ??? [02:58] Is there an easy way to add my HP All-In-One with wireless printing to Ubuntu? [02:58] jrib -- I just tried 'sudo iwlist scan', and it won't take my password [02:58] hi, can sombody tell me how to start network-admin? [02:59] facugaich, hmm, ok no idea then... [02:59] arg. I just installed it two days ago. [02:59] im nw :$ [02:59] Dr_Willis: could do auto log in, but nah [02:59] wo_spill: what *exactly* happens? What do you mean by "take" your password?

[03:01] vago_: as for eye candy when it comes to Ubuntu/Gnome and Kubuntu/KDE, KDE is well I guess nicer looking by default in most distros, but it's also more geek to customize than Gnome [03:01] ActionParsnip, for me it is only more slowly, and things works, splash works, msn works, webcam works, etc... (little things like webcam and msn are keys to conquer people). or... internet banking, for exemple... i have to boot in windows to login in my account. I'd like to remove windows, but... I can't. :\ [03:01] ChromiumChris, if you have an HP, and you plug it in (USB) it should recognize it and set it up, others perhaps too [03:01] ChromiumChris, no problem [03:02] Henry_BR: webcams are hugely supported, if you run lsusb you will see identifiers which you can use to find guides [03:02] ChromiumChris, otherwise System -> Prefrences -> Printers [03:02] ActionParsnip: can a network printer scan documents onto my network hard drive? [03:02] shane2peru, I know, but it's a wireless printer [03:02] Henry_BR: yeah silly banks, some/many will even force people to use the rather insecure Internet Explorer for Internet banking [03:02] ChromiumChris, ahh, ok, in that case see the above. [03:02] Henry_BR: for msn there is amsn and emesene and even pidgin [03:02] ChromiumChris, bluetooth [03:02] i have a problem whit the bottons in the flash web pages, like youtube :O how i can fix it?

But... try http://twitcam.com/. or another websites with language learning or something like, that use flash, etc, with webcam... [03:04] vago_: how much space did you give Ubuntu? Hard disk space for Ubuntu really isn't an issue, as long as you didn't give it a totally stupid amount of space. Linux programs hardly take up much hard disk space unlike Windows. However since you probably haven't installed a KDE app before... [03:04] flotopoco, ok ;-) [03:04] !help | Bigbucks2518 [03:05] sebsebseb, like 50Gb [03:05] Am i allowed to use the pictures avaiable in http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/1004features in my website to promote ubuntu ? or should i send a mail to somene for permission ?

[03:06] Sudha: See http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/ if you are unsure [03:06] vago_: sudo apt-get install kdm it will probably want to put on quite a lot of KDE programs, but that's fine. then in the terminal it will ask which one to use, and with arrow keys select KDM and hit enter. [03:06] Sudha, just a second and I will find it [03:06] if only I could remember what it was. [03:06] What should I do [03:06] sebsebseb, It ask Do you want to continue? [03:07] 351mb [03:07] Hmmm... [03:07] markl_, for my hp network all in 1 printer/scanner, I used xsane to connect to it and and scan stuff. [03:07] vago_: ah right yes, and yes you do [03:07] Henry_BR: the flash plugin can use webcam afaik [03:07] ah, I think I know what's wrong [03:07] If I could just ask again how to mount my hard drive to / from initramfs...

[03:09] vago_: KDM [03:09] ok [03:09] But I can still move the mouse and type [03:09] Bigbucks2518: did you md5 test the iso youo downloaded? [03:09] What should I do? [03:09] ade2_: is that installed by default? i see a sane-utils package [03:09] ActionParsnip, how? in skype I have to write "x=yyy/zzz skype" in terminal for it works with webcam... but with flash i don't know. And x=yyy/zzz... is not human being =\ [03:09] 9.10 still better [03:09] If I download Ubuntu Studio from their site, will I have an option to choose Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio when I start up my laptop or will it overwrite Ubuntu? [03:09] The printer worked! [03:09] DeathMetalDean: you don't need to get it from the site [03:09] markl_, probably not, but if you run xsane, it should tell you how to get it. [03:10] DeathMetalDean: you can install it into your Ubuntu install [03:10] Henry_BR: just remember what ubuntu is and the masses of money which other OS developers have [03:10] sebsebseb, :o how do I do that? [03:10] DeathMetalDean: You can use the package manager to add all the UbuntuStudio files [03:10] sebsebseb, and what now? [03:10] reboot? [03:10] DeathMetalDean, if you install it on a separate partition you can use either. [03:10] So, I installed 10.04 and now I can't figure out how to add depth to the windows in my rotating cube, I have the feeling those settings have been moved somewhere else... [03:10] I have a lucid iso. Can I check if it corrupted before I burn it? [03:10] vago_: yeah you need xorg restarted properly before KDM shows, re booting the computer will do the trick [03:10] ActionParsnip, and about webcam in flash... [03:10] vago_: then come back here one you seen it, and tell me if you like this one better :) [03:11] ok [03:11] :-) [03:11] Henry_BR: not sure, i dont use webcams. I think they are creepy [03:11] facugaich, you probably need to install compiz config manager [03:11] skyl, Yes, you have to compute its md5 sum and then compare it to the one supplied by Canonical [03:11] skyl, yes md5suns [03:11] shane2peru, Yeah I have it, that's where I'm looking [03:11] !md5 [03:11] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:11] !studio | DeathMetalDean [03:11] DeathMetalDean: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation.

How could i have my webcam recognized by flash/websites in firefox? [03:15] vago__: there's also LXDM and slim that you can install in the same way and try in the same way. as for going back to GDM, just remove another one that you installed, and it will ask you to set up the log in screen again and which one to use [03:15] ChromiumChris, no you can run kde apps, they do pull in the some kde dependencies though === fclaude is now known as help [03:16] sebsebseb, and how I can uninstall KDM now? and use my older one ? :-) [03:16] Thank you shane2peru [03:16] hi all. i'm attaching a monitor to my notebook.

Is it possible to show different screens on the notebook screen and the monitor? [03:17] SingAlong: yes [03:17] Does Ubuntu support the Macbook Multitouch trackpad? [03:17] vago__: LXDM is worth trying really. However to remove KDM. well you can do sudo apt-get remove KDM or well when I remove programs from Ubuntu i'll use purge instead of remove, so it does config files as well [03:17] vago__: sudo apt-get purge kdm [03:17] so, if the md5 sum is not matching, the iso is bad. What are the most common causes? [03:17] ChromiumChris: i think so, you may have to set up binndings to do the same stuf mac does tho... [03:17] skyl: bad download [03:18] now which one u advice to do? purge or remove?:-) [03:18] vago__: purge [03:18] mickster04: any particular pkg you can point me to? [03:18] Would someone tell me what app I use to start/stop services as well as difining which ones are automagically started at bootup? [03:18] I have lucid (stable). How do i remove entries from the new GRUB menu? [03:18] sebsebseb, ca u actualy use the short forms to uninstall the kubuntu KDM manager i thought u had to use sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop manager ??? [03:18] well...it does it by default, so i have misinterpreted your question? [03:19] mickster04: Does it support the two-fingered scrolling? [03:19] mknarr: yes you can use the short [03:19] ChromiumChris: yes that should be default [03:19] ChromiumChris: altho on lucid mayb not [03:19] mickster04: so do i just hookup the other monitor and it works? [03:19] ChromiumChris: but easy to fix [03:19] :O [03:19] sebsebseb, kool thx [03:19] mknarr: also package kubuntu-desktop-manager won't exist or whatever, I think it's just known as KDM, but maybe not [03:19] SingAlong: should do [03:19] mk [03:19] I have just installed Ubuntu server (lucid) and SSH isn't starting automatically. How do I fix this? [03:19] Would someone tell me what app I use to start/stop services as well as difining which ones are automagically started at bootup?

[03:20] Grexeo: is openssh-server installed?

[03:21] melrokz: no not really [03:22] mknarr: instead of standard message [03:22] melrokz: what are you trying to do? [03:22] ActionParsnip, interestingly enough, if i run `killall gnome-panel' in a terminal, it appears to restart the process and then the panel shows up [03:22] i need to remove 2 lines - 'memtest 86' and 'windows xp' [03:22] So, I still haven't any idea what to use to start/stop services or what to use to define ones to automatically start when booting? [03:22] ActionParsnip, kinda strange, its like the process loaded but forgot to display anything [03:22] mknarr: you just did it again by mistake, it seems [03:23] sebsebseb, lol srry haha [03:23] Patrinstar: hmm, usually nautilus draws the desktop [03:23] melrokz: you can edit grub.cfg directly, but you will lose the changes any time update-grub gets called, which includes whenever there's a kernel update...

Will apply and report back. [04:01] vago_: however... [04:01] shazbotmcnasty: Most commands only give output if that is their purpose (e.g. ls) or there is an error. [04:01] ActionParsnip, no the lshw [04:01] shazbotmcnasty: then try: sudo lshw -C disk [04:02] vago_: someone earlier suggested getting some program that isn't in the repo for changing background, someone else suggested editing the default background. I suggested just using KDM, LXDM or Slim instead. [04:03] sebsebseb, .. I will try to google with that problem [04:03] ActionParsnip, that showed all disks [04:03] but it's okay [04:03] I got it [04:03] I just tried to play the dvd with vlc :) [04:03] shazbotmcnasty: yes as well as the names it goes under like /dev/sr0 etc [04:04] vago_: Why don't you like the default look anyway?

I have a softlink ~/bin ---> /media/something/bin. When I cd ~/bin, touch TEST, mv TEST .., ls .., i see the test file alongside with the files of /media/something/bin. If I the try to mv ../TEST . i cannot, because it accesses the home directory (test it with mv ../FileInHome .). This is somewhat strange, might it be a bug? Is this wanted? Why?

[04:15] no, just a weather, calendar, volume control panel applet and couple of launchers on panel [04:15] hmw: i think I follow what you're saying. maybe the way to consider it is that your ~/bin area is still within the context of your home area, as much as possible, since you dropped the symlink in place there. but the moment you move a file *out* of that area, it sort of gets out of dodge, and gets kicked out. for all other intents and purposes you're still operating under your little virtual... [04:15] ...home area [04:15] UbuntuJeff: pulse [04:16] arnpro, what next steps should I take to troubleshoot further? [04:16] eross: the panel items are most likely python based [04:16] how do i get those cool popups in rhythmbox ? [04:16] Jordan_U, yes, there are no other processes using it [04:16] IdleOne: My money is on gnome-media [04:16] IdleOne, add back to your panel something called Indicator Applet [04:16] every other time I open rythmbox.... there are stores... the others... there are not [04:17] wtf is going on?... [04:17] stores? [04:17] ieynr: i continued playing, mv ../TEST . actually works, but tab completion doesnt. If I mv ../ . i get "no such file or directory" - so its a bash issue, i suppose [04:17] UbuntuJeff: that gives me an envelop [04:17] jamendo [04:17] gbear14275 Rythmbox is both a particle and a wave. [04:17] Hey guys, I formatted my /home hard-disk during 10.04 installation. I don't think I checked format, but whatever....it's ext3, and I chose to mount it ext4 at installation. What's the best tool to unformat a partition with? [04:17] lol [04:17] hmw: the only thing I can suggest is that something like zsh (z shell) might have a clever override or something simple you can do to tweak or override that behavior. i have a feeling it will take a long time to find, however. right maybe zsh has different behavior, it's worth a try [04:18] IdleOne, it should give you a volume icon to, well it does for me. [04:18] scot: you cant "unformat" a partition [04:18] IdleOne, well a volume icon and the enevelope [04:18] Null, fine, what's the best tool to recover the files? [04:18] UbuntuJeff: do I need to reboot after reinstalling pulseaudio? [04:18] scot: You can't unformat. :( [04:18] wyrlss: lol, I'm probably a little too frustrated right now... but I didn't change a dang thing and all of the sudden this is jacked up... was looking forward to giving ubuntuone another shot... but now its up and disappeared like a fart in the wind [04:18] IdleOne, it wouldn't hurt, its worth a shot [04:18] scot: you could try formost but its only really ood for user data [04:18] ieynr: although i was only curious, i wanted to try other shells forquite a while, but i am still not really as familiar with bash as i would like to be, before comparing. Thanks for the hint. [04:19] that and the little battery tab on my brand new batter broke so it doesn't even stay in my computer anymore [04:19] I only care about user data, foremost also only supports graphics files for the most part [04:19] gbear14275: it's probably because it automatically detects what's up and what's not. kind of nice, actually, so that I don't accidentally click on something that's not there, thus not wasting my time. [04:19] scot: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [04:19] IdleOne: Did you play my bet? [04:19] gbear14275: duct tape. [04:19] Gnea: so you're saying ubuntuone is down [04:20] Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to change my gui resolution via terminal in Lucid ^^, think someone can shine some light on this? [04:20] Gnea: thats why I'm not seeing it? [04:20] gbear14275: seeing as how I don't run rythmbox very often, and I've never seen ubuntuone as an authorized music store, no [04:20] hmw yes I'm pretty happy with bash and actually perhaps bash has improved over the years too. i've always known of zsh being out there as the mega swiss army knife of shells I guess [04:20] !tty | Xzulien [04:20] Xzulien: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [04:20] Here is my issue after the next steps... http://pastebin.com/PixUn5nq [04:21] IdleOne, are you still here Idle? [04:21] it seemed evolution was my issue, account wasn't set up but was running in background [04:22] eh [04:22] sekyourbox: Try "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" :X [04:22] hi [04:22] gbear14275 one is up. I'm looking at the store right now. [04:22] what should I do in the case of a custom/nonstandard resolution? [04:23] i need help with my copmuter science hw. i am supost to create a table using html and the same one using php i don't understand what i would do differently [04:23] lol [04:23] this is a linux help channel, not computer science help [04:23] red2kic, somehow that doesn't sound like a good thing to try [04:23] dexter: read your textbook [04:23] dexter, google, #php, and #html [04:23] dexter i can help [04:24] k [04:24] * winXPuser hides [04:24] Xzulien: TTY is often used temporarily most of the time. I say leave it alone and use a terminal instead. If you need TTY, then okay and do what you must do. Suck it up with large texts. [04:24] ieynr: if you feel like chatting about zsh, i'd be interested in hearing about the differences/pros. PM me if you like. [04:24] sekyourbox: Because of my emotion? I think that'll resolve your E: issues with administrative. [04:25] Xzulien: i love to watch videos with the ASCII-out codec of mplayer on the console *g* [04:25] Does anyone else find compiz a little annoying? [04:26] So I take it you have no idea? =\... I use the command line enough, I have too many things I plan to be doing via gui on this machine. [04:26] red2kic lol [04:26] sorry i copied and pasted... [04:26] This is a really newbie question, but I lost my irc password [04:26] How do I reset it? [04:26] UbuntuJeff, use metacity or openbox instead ;) [04:26] Hey, I've got a slight annoyance. I upgraded from 9.10, and I'm stuck with two empathy panel icons: the new one, and the old one. Is this a common problem with an easy fix? Or is this first time it's come up? [04:26] I was wondering what the hell you were talking about lmao [04:27] jabirali, lol do you use openbox? just curious. Plus I was just asking out of curiousity. I like some features in it, but overall not sure seems to lag my stuff. lol [04:27] I have to reinstall nvidia every other reboot after upgrading to 10.04. I only have good graphics every other boot. This is terribly frustrating and I'd love any advice! thanks! [04:27] Hello. I have Win7 and Ubuntu on this machine. If i just restore an WinXP image to some partition and run grub2 from Ubuntu it will detect stuff, add on boot, and boot into XP ? [04:28] DanDare: sudo update-grub should fix it [04:28] sounds pretty cool, thanks acerimmer [04:29] magn3ts, are you running the one that comes from the Hardware Drivers in Ubuntu, or the one from the Website? [04:29] UbuntuJeff, running gnome+metacity on my desktop, just switched to standalone openbox on my laptop (after a period of using "awesome", a tiling windowmanager) [04:29] and brrr... there's any way to resize a Ubuntu partition (i think that's ext4) ? [04:29] !gparted [04:29] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [04:29] Alternatively I could deal with a way to force a detection of the proper monitor I have on the machine. It's a dell mini, so it has an Epson 10'' monitor [04:29] DanDare ^ [04:29] UbuntuJeff, but I've used gnome+openbox on desktop before, works like a charm :) [04:29] UbuntuJeff, I am using Hardware Drivers but I have the nvidia vdpau's team PPA loaded up as well [04:29] nice, thanks winXPuser [04:29] :) [04:29] Anyone? Help with reseting irc pass [04:29] UbuntuJeff, do you think they are conflicting? I never had this problem with 9.10 [04:29] anybody get syntaxhighlight-geshi in the mediawiki-extentions package to work? [04:29] senthil. join #freenode [04:30] I copied the script from available -> enabled [04:30] magn3ts, you install it and it works fine after what a restart? or does it just not load? [04:30] nothing happens when I save a media wiki entry. [04:30] winXPuser: I'm connected [04:30] jabirali, I have used openbox before, but I don't know I like the panels, and xfce looks odd to me lol. so mainly just been using gnome. [04:30] UbuntuJeff, I install, reboot, its fine. I reboot, its in graphical safe mode, I uninstall the kernel module, reinstall, repeat. [04:30] UbuntuJeff, like I said, very strange and very frustrating [04:30] senthil. /join #freenode <-this is a channel, irc://irc.freenode.net/freenode [04:31] i want to master all ubuntu commands [04:31] where do I go? [04:31] How it's called that program to make CD image files bootable from USB stick? ubootanything cant remember the name now [04:31] magn3ts, did you update your kernel? [04:31] senthil. that is network support channel [04:31] winXPuser: Cool, thanks. [04:31] anyone knows where to get updated mono packages? [04:31] launchpad is not helping [04:31] magn3ts, how long has it been doing this? like since you upgraded or just recently? [04:31] UbuntuJeff, well, initially when upgrading but this happens multiple times a day, not just from a simple kernel upgrade sadly. [04:31] hey dandare [04:31] UbuntuJeff, both. I just upgraded recently. [04:31] hello ridz16 [04:32] all: knows we can change the query area font size for mysql query browser? [04:32] eazel7, sudo apt-get update mono ? [04:32] unetbootin.sourceforge.net [04:32] What is the nature of plymouth's issue with Nvidia binary drivers? [04:32] that's what i Use for ubuntu 10 [04:32] Ahh that, many thanks ridz16 [04:32] are you here ertz? [04:32] funny, ubuntu is lagging in mono versions [04:32] eazel7: Three words: "Time based releases" [04:33] magn3ts, I would go through synaptic and uninstall anything nvidia graphics related that is installed and set it for COMPLETE removal, that should remove the config files and all that. Reboot should bring you back to simple graphics. then install it again, maybe a config file is staying there from your upgrade and its causing a problem. [04:33] what exactly is ubuntu? [04:33] !ubuntu [04:33] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [04:33] I hope xubuntu ppl use chrome instead of firefox cuz it uses 10mb less memory [04:33] UbuntuJeff, already did that :) apt-get remove --purge all the nvidia packages by name, hand [04:33] ridz16: read the book on www.linuxfromscratch.org and build your own Linux system. Then read all the source codes until you explode from the overload. [04:33] !documentation | ridz16 [04:33] ridz16: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [04:33] UbuntuJeff, never tried using openbox along with the rest of gnome? That is, you keep the panels, desktop and everything gnome - the only difference is that window handling is done by openbox instead of metacity or compiz :) [04:33] hmw: lol [04:34] hey how do I do the reply in red msg thingie [04:34] magn3ts, lol dang it. only other guess I have is try installing the one from Nvidia's website itself. That is the one I am using after having trouble with the one from the Hardware Drivers. [04:34] ridz16: also read http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ very informative [04:34] ridz16: say someone's name at the beginning of the line, like I just did to you. [04:34] jabirali, no I haven't is it really any better? [04:34] tonyyarusso: so? can't I ask for updated packages? === senthil is now known as senthilnambi [04:34] thnx for the suggestion [04:34] Hi, on the ubuntu website they show how to upgrade from 8.04 lts to 10.04 lts. Im using 8.04 but i dont know if its lts. all 8.04 are lts? [04:34] tonyyarusso thnx [04:34] UbuntuJeff, I think I'm going to disable the nvidia vdpau repo, try that, if that doesn't work, I'm going to do what you suggested and instlal it from nvidia, though when I do that I always have to Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get to X when my PC boots. :( oh well [04:35] hello anybody knows how we can change the query area font size for mysql query browser? [04:35] tony it didnt work [04:35] eazel7: Not really, no. Occasionally a few things will be backported, but usually those are relatively small things to avoid breaking other stuff. [04:35] magn3ts, yeah you have to install it from X without a graphical running. hopefully it works for ya. [04:35] r3m: Yes. [04:35] tonyyarusso thanks, how non lts version are called? [04:36] r3m: update manager should give you the option to upgrade the distro to 10.04 [04:36] ridz16: It will only be red on the client of the person you're talking to. For instance, on my client I actually see the beginning of the line in yellow. [04:36] ridz16: type 'tony' then hit tab for autocompletion. The name has to be exact... [04:36] UbuntuJeff, no, I just meant that the driver causes Ubuntu to stay on TTY1 when it boots rather than switching to tty7 which X runs on... it's strange and it only happens after manually installing the nvidia driver. the repo versions never do that to me [04:36] tonyyarusso: I'm not asking for 'official' packages, just updated one [04:36] So, I am attempting to install 10.04 server and have the fakeraid bug. I've managed to get partman to complete successfully in the installer switching to CLI and renaming the partitions but once complete, it does not boot. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? I've done some reading and fiddling but I don't really know enough to know what i should be looking for. [04:36] acerimmer: thanks [04:36] eazel7: In that case, there *may* be a PPA available. [04:36] if anyone thinks they can help i can provide more detailed info, of course [04:36] eazel7: If you need the latest and greatest, normally a ppa or external repository is required (with the safety considrations included) [04:36] I selected the folder I want to share btw ubuntu and virtual box (xp) how do access this folder with in the virtual machine? [04:36] magn3ts, that is really weird, mine just loads normal not sure which tty it loads on. [04:37] r3m: 6.06, 8.04, and 10.04 are LTS. 4.10, 5.04, 5.10, 6.10, 7.04, 7.10, 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10 are normal releases. [04:37] arand: thanks, I know, that's what I'm asking, I cannot find anything in launchpad, so I though someone here might know a source [04:37] tonyyarusso: thanks [04:38] updated http://pastebin.com/CkKDH2Rm please help [04:39] hi all... anyone can recommend a TV card for ubuntu?? [04:39] eazel7: https://edge.launchpad.net/~directhex/+archive/ppa, https://edge.launchpad.net/~directhex/+archive/monoxide [04:40] sekyourbox: It means to run 'sudo apt-get -f install' literally, without any package arguments. [04:40] oh wait, you did, later. [04:41] tonyyarusso, lol sorry... [04:41] tonyyarusso, I hit up and modify, and mess around and such [04:41] eazel7: http://www.mono-project.com/DistroPackages/Ubuntu says "...Mono is considered a "core framework" in Ubuntu, meaning it has many applications depending upon it (roughly 40 applications). Due to this, the chance of one of those applications breaking due to unexpected changes in their underlying framework is considered too high to risk an update....". (So it might be hard, if not impossible, to get updates)... [04:41] eazel7: Lucid comes with 2.4.4~svn151842-1ubuntu4 isn't that fairly recent no? [04:42] sekyourbox: maybe try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mountall' ? [04:42] sekyourbox: Well, did you? [04:42] red2kic, did i what? [04:42] sekyourbox: rm! [04:43] UbuntuJeff, not really. I find openbox to be more flexible; it is easy to e.g. make firefox automatically open in fullscreen on desktop #2, which I use in order to dedicate my workspaces to different tasks (browsing, coding, reading, etc) and set some standard setting for e.g. all Wine-apps. Other than that, it seems to be faster than metacity on older machines - but if your machine is that old, perhaps running gnome isn't the best idea [04:43] afterall... [04:43] arand: considering the progress done in the last year with mono, I want desperately to move to the 2.6.x versions [04:43] how can I access ubuntu files from xp in virtual box I've already selected the folder but I can't find it in my virtual machine [04:43] red2kic, no [04:43] arand: also, mono is a virtual machine, it's rare if they break a running app [04:43] tonyyaruzzo, no luck [04:44] eazel7: Since Debian is still on 2.4, so I reckon that would be the firts hurdle... [04:44] sekyourbox: bother. I think that was my only guess... [04:44] jabirali, my machine is 2gb ram, nvidia 8400 512mb graphics card, and a core 2 duo. I just don't like compiz all that much and figure see whats the best way to get even more speed out of my machine. lol [04:44] IdleOne: Was it gnome-media? [04:44] jabirali: how do you make firefox open in fullscreen on desktop #2 in openbox? [04:44] red2kic, I don't think hes actually here, he went quiet. [04:44] darn power-save features ruined the upgrade [04:44] Anyone want to help me get my display back? [04:45] UbuntuJeff, I see, hehe :P [04:45] red2kic: what? [04:45] UbuntuJeff: Hence the highlighted messages. :P [04:45] jabirali, what are you using currently using like atm? [04:45] IdleOne: I believe it is gnome-media that'll get you your volume icon.

[04:46] IdleOne: Fine. You want to argue. Just do "aptitude show ubuntu-desktop | grep media" It's in the repo and I know you probably didn't use ubuntu-desktop. :) [04:46] Tried to install GRUB again but it failed [04:47] eazel7: mono-project.com has this very quote on their page: " Mono is considered a "core framework" in Ubuntu, meaning it has many applications depending upon it (roughly 40 applications). Due to this, the chance of one of those applications breaking due to unexpected changes in their underlying framework is considered too high to risk an update. [04:47] Hey guys, I am trying to install Ubuntu on my netbook (while keeping windows on it) but when i go to install it, the installer doesnt recognize any partitions. How do i fix this? [04:47] Then system crashed [04:47] and X hasn't started up since [04:47] UbuntuJeff, I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and haven't really set it up much, so it runs gnome with metacity (haven't installed proprietary nvidia drivers yet). My laptop runs archlinux, with standalone openbox. [04:47] red2kic: i don't see where I was arguing when I said thank you [04:47] I'm currently 100% command line [04:47] UbuntuJeff, on my desktop computer right now :) [04:47] noone interested / able to assist with 10.04 fakeraid bug workaround assistance then I take it? :) [04:47] ollie: any error msgs? [04:47] yeah [04:47] UbuntuJeff : Thanks [04:47] It said it could recognize my Logitech Wireless receiver [04:47] presumably for my mouse [04:47] jabirali, sorry a lot of questions, will you stay on metacity or openbox? on your desktop. [04:47] Removing that did nothing [04:48] eazel7: And I assume that that makes it tricky to simply slap up packages for a new version. [04:48] arand: I'm sure they're quoting ubuntu [04:48] ollie: Keep everything in one line. Plz. [04:48] Sorry [04:48] eazel7: Possibly..

There may be others... [04:54] red2kic, cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 |grep Codec [04:54] Codec: Realtek ALC268 [04:54] donaldo: You might have to enable it. Try alsamixergui (it's GUI!) [04:54] Loshki, use the command "xprop|grep WM_CLASS" to get the window class to use in the -tag [04:54] jabirali: I like it better than the configs I've seen for other window managers, some of which predate XML [04:54] FluffyMaster: It's a little bit of a shot in the dark, but I'd start with running Windows chkdsk on the Windows install. You can still boot Windows, yes? [04:55] tonyyarusso: i can still boot windows fine, and all partitions are marked as healthy in disk management [04:55] shazbotmcnasty: ok, that's easier. Wikipedia has three or four listed on the "Tracker" section of the BitTorrent page I believe. [04:55] mmmk [04:56] tell me about your self [04:56] Loshki, hehe, I know the feeling :) [04:56] red2kic, Hello. I have a Toshiba x205-S9349, with a Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller. After I installed lynx I only get sound from 2 speakers. I'm trying to get to work my 4.1 built in speakers, I have tried several ways with no luck. [04:56] hello. my locale is qazaq, my sister's is russian. but both firefox are english. i cannot find how to change or install language, russian for my sister, at least. in #firefox ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.5.9/linux-i686/xpi/ is suggested to me, i installed ru.xpi , changed general.useragent.locale to ru and tried RU , in about:config, but it is still english, this is in my ubuntu account. [04:56] isurit: #ubuntu-offtopic [04:57] jabirali: I'm using fvwm right now but I'm shopping for a new window manager... [04:58] qdb: I dunno the answer to your question, but if you speak Russian, I bet someone on #ubuntu-ru will know how to do it... [04:58] donaldo: Did you tried alsamixer though? You said several ways but that's not quite what I wanted to know. [04:59] Loshki, Aha, cool. Last time I tried fvwm was in 2004, I gave up before I learned to configure it lol [04:59] Loshki i understand english [04:59] =P [04:59] fvwm is nice [04:59] red2kic, yes no LFE control [04:59] even better is Xfce [05:00] anybody good with intel socket 478 IGP graphics? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361 [05:00] Lubuntu is way better than xfce [05:00] donaldo: #alsa or #pulseaudio -- Try them. Also, what card? I'll try and find you something useful. [05:00] may be this is because my hack to ubuntu locale system. [05:00] Fvwm seems really flexible [05:00] hi anyone ok with wine? [05:00] hi, after upgrading to lucid, SSH X11 forwarding no longer works -- I've tried many servers it used to work with. I get the following error: connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory [05:00] I've always liked lxde, might try Fvwm now though xp [05:00] I'm wondering the default gnome terminal font information [05:00] Anyone writing Upstart configs? [05:00] i got a big problem now :( [05:00] anyone here use LVM? [05:01] Absolut, i cant drink too much... give me horrible headaches [05:01] lol [05:01] sorry for the joke [05:01] Need help with wireless [05:01] <_pg_> are there any self proclaimed grub experts in the house? I have been fighting it all day and could really use some help [05:01] First play with Upstart for me.. I have a dead-simple one; I can 'start' it and it runs, gives me the PID, but afterwards it thinks the service is stopped. A status shows 'stop/waiting' even though the process is indeed running [05:01] _pg_: There are! In #grub! [05:01] anyone here familar with runescape? [05:01] qdb: I'm sure that someone in #ubuntu-ru has fixed this problem before and will know what to do. [05:01] dravidan1234, this is not support channel, try #ubuntu ? [05:01] err oops [05:02] sorry [05:02] <_pg_> red2kic: i was harrassed in there earlier. i think ill take my chances in here [05:02] ok [05:02] dravidan1234 state your issue in full then [05:02] What do you need help with specifically pg? ^^ [05:02] qdb: you sound like a native speaker to me. But I meant that the guys there would know the answer, I didn't mean to imply there was any reason you shouldn't be here, Please excuse me if it sounded that way... [05:02] _pg_: I see. Well, ask the real question. If anybody here know, they'll be likely to respond. [05:02] tonyyarusso: chkdsk came back clean [05:02] ok [05:02] red2kic, alsa ubuntu 10.04, Realteck alc268, toshiba x205 4 speakers harman/kardon whit subwoofer [05:02] I am on #ubuntu [05:02] is the chromium browser in the synaptics package manager the same thing as the chromium browser on the Google site? [05:02] anyone have Wireless Realtek RTL8187B driver ? [05:02] FluffyMaster: I'm fresh out then... [05:03] fourcolors: yes, although possibly a different version. [05:03] the best about Ubuntu is its community so far [05:03] can somone tell me the terminal sudo line to install google desktop search? [05:03] fourcolors, the same [05:03] tonyyarusso, thank you [05:03] fourcolors: On the google site is probably more up-to-date, but it is the same browser as chromium (but not the same as chrome) [05:03] _pg_: What sort of grub issues? I can't help (I have grub related issues myself) just curious [05:03] laptop is picking up a strange up from my wireless ap [05:03] undecim, not the same as Chrome? you mean Chrome OS? [05:04] undecim, is that the difference you mean? [05:04] can somone tell me the terminal sudo line to install google desktop search? [05:04] red2kic, my computer http://laptops.toshiba.com/laptops/satellite/X205/X205-SLI1, Audio device info [05:04] i have 10.04 fakeraid bug and manually sorting out the partitioning / grub is a little confusing to say the least. [05:04] <_pg_> Xzulien: I had a working triple boot on my macbook pro until I upgraded to 10.04 last night. After it finished, i tried rebooting and grub says: error: image_put_ not found (or very similar). I tried reinstalling grub from rescue cd and I get an error warning about blacklists and using --force. [05:04] fourcolors: No, i mean not the same as chrome the browser. Chromium is the open source browser than chrome is based on. Chrome is the closed-source browser that Google built based on chromium. Chrome OS is a cloud OS in development by Google. [05:05] heh... Grub 2 is annoying. [05:05] jabirali, in openbox now. even got my favorite dock working, I like it. lol its changed a lot since when I used it a year back. [05:05] undecim, oh.... what do you think is better? Hum... I like to support the open source stuff more though [05:05] tonyyarusso: i mean i dont want to get rid of windows if i dont have to. i tried using wubi and it said something about "no root file system is defined" when i installed it [05:05] UbuntuJeff, cool :P [05:05] <_pg_> Xzulien: putting it lightly. [05:06] fourcolors: I would stick with Chromium, because of potential privacy issues with Chrome. [05:06] <_pg_> Smeh: I had a working triple boot on my macbook pro until I upgraded to 10.04 last night. After it finished, i tried rebooting and grub says: error: image_put_ not found (or very similar). I tried reinstalling grub from rescue cd and I get an error warning about blacklists and using --force. [05:06] undecim, I like that, google knows too much about me anyway haha [05:06] oh right. obs different issue then, though i've come across that while doing my usual googling [05:06] donaldo: Are you Jose? [05:06] http://www.petitemarion.com/?id=1295358 [05:07] probably related to the same partman bug though i guess [05:07] red2kic, no [05:07] UbuntuJeff, a copy of the parts of my ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml that defines standard settings for new windows is posted at http://pastebin.com/DfS5SqNE [05:07] fourcolors: Google knows everything, lol. At least they are one of the less evil companies out there... [05:07] hmm.. give me a sec pg. [05:07] donaldo: Did you try this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [05:07] undecim, ya ya agreed, I hope it stays that way for a while at least [05:07] <_pg_> Xzulien: i will give you all the time you need. I will map my drive for you. I will pastebin and reboot and do whatever it takes to be as open to help as possible [05:07] hi all.. anyone with expirence with TV cards? [05:08] TV dinners.. [05:08] jabirali, since you seem more fluent in openbox the me, how do I set what starts up with it? like the programs I want to auto run when openbox starts. [05:08] red2kic, I did not find that information helps. I have to go, thanks for your attention. see you later. [05:08] UbuntuJeff, most of the options are self-explanatory. The name you put in the class="" in the -tag, you get from running "xprop|grep WM_CLASS" and clicking on a graphical window. [05:08] Does anyone know how to fix the "no root file system is defined" error when you install ubuntu with wubi? [05:08] wubi?? [05:08] donaldo: Good luck. [05:09] jew__: google turned this up: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/06/28/how-to-install-setup-and-use-google-desktop-search-in-ubuntu/, It says there's a google-desktop package but I can't find a match on http://packages.ubuntu.com [05:09] [05:09] thank you . is there a list somwhere with all the downloads on the repos? [05:09] i've one question [05:09] UbuntuJeff, I usually run my automatically started applications from ~/.xinitrc, but if you use GDM or something, I think you can put it at the end of ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh [05:10] problem is cdrom mount [05:10] why not mount? [05:10] what's the best torrent app? [05:10] !best | Theravadan [05:10] Theravadan: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:10] Howdy all - so just updated my system to the .22 kernel [05:10] FluffyMaster: Unfortunately, Wubi has a lot of boot problems and the more advanced Ubuntu users seldom have experience with it and therefor can't help you much with it. When it works, it's good for testing out Ubuntu, but you should do a normal install of Ubuntu if you want it to be reliable. [05:10] Theravadan: Transmission are already installed. Use that. It's a "best" torrent apps IMO. [05:10] And now I cannot access my tty logins any longer [05:10] How do I turn on 64-bit software virtualization in VirtualBox? [05:11] red2kic, thx [05:11] thank you . is there a list somwhere with all the downloads on the repos? [05:11] let me know cdrom mount? [05:11] jew_: you can browse packages by release via http://packages.ubuntu.com. Is that what you need? [05:11] I cant mount cdrom [05:11] tumenjargal, what exactly happens? Do you get an error? [05:11] undecim: i would LOVE to do a normal install, but i want to keep windows on the system. when i try to install, it says that my harddrive has no operating systems on it [05:12] no error [05:12] <_pg_> Xzulien: i have tried a lot already, let me know if you need info or output [05:12] not mount cdrom [05:12] loshki: yes thank you [05:12] !FluffyMaster|wubi === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [05:12] !wub|FluffyMaster [05:12] !wubi | FluffyMaster [05:12] FluffyMaster: 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. [05:12] let me know format cd? [05:13] tumenjargal, what happens when you go to Places -> Computer, and click on CD/DVD drive? [05:13] FluffyMaster: When you are installing, if you choose the option to set up partitions manually, do you see your Windows partition? [05:13] what happend to gnome-terminal transparecy on Lucid? [05:13] bug? [05:13] hornets: Do you have desktop effects enabled? [05:13] thereis not showing [05:13] cdrom [05:13] undecim: no, it just shows the harddrive as empty, but its not, as i can still boot and function in windows [05:14] which desktop envirorment is best to use if your new to linux? ubunto? [05:14] tumenjargal, is this an empty CD? Do you want to burn music or data to it, or do you want to access something on it? [05:14] FluffyMaster: Did you at any point convert your hard drive to a dynamic disk in Windows? [05:14] undecim: lemme see [05:14] i want burn xp boot [05:14] undecim: i dont know? [05:14] jew__, Ubuntu and Kubuntu are both fine, but I'd personally start with Ubuntu [05:14] jabirali, is there a run application for openbox? like alt f2 does in gnome? [05:15] undecim: I have desktop cube enabled [05:15] okay thank you for information jabirali [05:15] and expo [05:15] FluffyMaster: Maybe "dynamic disk" isn't the correct term (been a while since I've messed with that), but it's something you would have done manually from the storage manager under administrative tasks. [05:15] Q: Screem editor used to be in the ubuntu repositories for the last version, I upgraded to the latest version and it is no longer there. Do some apps take longer to get into the repositories than others? I am debating compiling from source from www.screem.org, does anyone have a better way? [05:15] hornets: Do you have the transparency enabled, in gnome-terminal in the profile settings? [05:15] undecim: then no, i dont think i have [05:15] tell me about your self [05:16] jew__: we usually avoid the question, because it comes to no consensus, but my opinion is that beginner's should stick to the defaults until they know what to expect, and where lots of support is available, so yes, that means: ubuntu running the default desktop [05:16] FluffyMaster: have you tried the alternate install? [05:16] isurit: please stop that, you are clearly in the wrong channel... [05:16] lol, I changed the option and back to transparent [05:16] it works!!11 [05:16] FluffyMaster: Are you sure you have the correct drive selected? [05:16] thanks undecim [05:16] hornets: np [05:16] undecim: yeah, i only have one drive [05:16] are there any good applications that i can use that will get me used to using the terminal and exploring ubunto? [05:17] and its wonderful power? :) [05:17] Sorry my network dropped out. What is the best way to download yourtube video with Ubuntu 10.04? [05:17] addon [05:17] digifor: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl [05:17] Loshki that's funny joke! [05:18] FluffyMaster: You're not installing from USB are you? USB drives will show up too. [05:18] digifor: check firefox plugins OR just play the vid, go to the /tmp and copy the media file [05:18] digifor https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15002 [05:18] isurit: Actually, I thought you might be a bot. We don't chat here, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like to chat... [05:18] FluffyMaster: though they shouldn't show up as empty... [05:18] anyone worked with an Arduino under Ubuntu? [05:18] the software poackage is giving me fits [05:18] undecim: I am installing from an external CD Drive, as this is my netbook [05:19] Hello, I have done a completely fresh successful installation of Ubuntu 10.04. However, when I try to upgrade I get an error for one of the packages: "linux-libc-dev" more specifically the error is: "unable to stat './usr/include/asm-generic/mman.h' (which I was about to install) " Yes, that last part in the parenthesis is a part of the error message. Any ideas? perhaps I could install mman.h manually? [05:19] UbuntuJeff, I don't think so. I usually run all my stuff from either keyboard shortcuts or directly in a terminal (I have setup the system to spawn a terminal with Super+return). [05:19] does anyone know if this bug has progressed? [05:19] let me know CDROM mount problem? [05:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/568050 [05:19] are there any good applications that i can use that will get me used to using the terminal and exploring ubunto, and its wonderful power? :) [05:19] having followed a few of the workarounds i'm still having no luck [05:19] FluffyMaster: Are you getting the error from Wubi the first time you try to boot it, or have you ever been able to boot into your Wubi install? [05:19] UbuntuJeff, but I remember using a GTK2-based "run command"-dialog some years ago, don't remember the name of it though [05:20] jew__: try the server edition === snoopy is now known as Guest79858 [05:20] hey, i recently installed 10.04 and seem to have killed grub or something, i'm not quite sure [05:20] i'm dual-booting windows 7 and ubuntu [05:20] let me know CDROM mount problem? [05:20] cybertaur1 : welcome to 10.04 :) [05:20] how do i do that? [05:20] Smeh: thanks, haha [05:20] I dont see cd rom on computer:/// [05:20] tumenjargal : you're not explaining your problem with sufficient detail for anyone to help you. [05:21] undecim: first boot. it says "no root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu" [05:21] jew__: well, i installed virtual box and installed ubuntu server as a virtual computer [05:21] Loshki Why so serious? [05:21] jew__: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal. Also, there is a ubuntu manual now, at http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [05:21] cybertaur1: describe what happens [05:21] FluffyMaster: ]I think the Wubi error and the problem with real installs is caused by the same problem. [05:21] jabirali, lol only problem I have is I can't figure out how to get my gnome panel to go back to the same look it had in gnome, instead of this weird grey color. lol [05:21] isurit: to keep the noise down in a very busy channel... [05:21] so right now what happens is that when i select the windows 7 option ("Windows 7 (load) (on /dev/sda1)"), it brings me right back to the same menu [05:21] Problem is cd rom not mount [05:21] should i get virtual box and mess around? [05:22] FluffyMaster: Can you boot to a live CD, open a terminal, and run "sudo fdisk -l" and give me a pastebin of the output? [05:22] cybertaur1: can you get the grub terminal? [05:22] i'm going to guess cybertaur1 had a working multiboot until he installed 10.04 :] [05:22] cybertaur1: Can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc"? [05:22] immediately before this, i was getting a different error when selecting windows 7: "grub_getcharwidth not found" [05:22] Smeh: 100% correct :D [05:22] UbuntuJeff, I found it. The program is called "gmrun", it is in the repos. [05:22] undecim: yeah, give me a second to boot it up [05:22] acerimmer: i'm something of a newb... i can boot up ubuntu but not windows. do i have to be logged in to do what you or Jordan_U describe? [05:22] UbuntuJeff, run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in the end of your autostart.sh ;) [05:23] cybertaur1: wait 1 [05:23] let me know cd format? [05:23] Hey there ... [05:23] oh, for what it's worth, i "fixed" the grub_getcharwidth problem with the command `grub-install /dev/sda` [05:23] jabirali, that worked lol thanks man [05:23] it's possible i typed `grub-install /dev/sda1` but i'm not sure [05:23] im having some trouble with installation.. is there a help channel [05:23] or i ask here [05:23] anybody good with intel socket 478 IGP graphics? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361 [05:23] '~$ ps -ef | grep flush; root 252 2 0 May05 ? 00:00:00 [flush-8:0]' What process spawns this process?

[05:23] cybertaur1: If you typed /dev/sda1 it would explain the problem you are having [05:24] grub-install should fail if you try to target a device that doesn't exist, so i doubt it [05:24] UbuntuJeff, good :P [05:24] cybertaur1: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/05/fix-restore-grub-boot-loader.html [05:24] ahhh sweet, sorry some irc are picky bout that stuff [05:24] cybertaur1: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [05:25] so if i type in `grub-install /dev/sda` that should fix it? or add another entry to the menu?

[05:26] make install-libs install-headers [05:26] Jordan_U: thanks, i'm going through them now [05:26] Yes the Lanwire works fine, jus the wifi wont work, ir does see it or something [05:26] it has additional arguments, and I'm not sure if or how checkinstall can handle that [05:26] cybertaur1: try to run windows repair. You might have scrambled your master boot record. If repair works, you might then need to restore grub. [05:26] Ok, 2 issues. 1. Why is it that since upgrading to 10.4 my usb wifi keeps dropping the conn, it eventually get's it back but it's frustrating.. [05:27] Android: While connected via Ethernet, go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, and you should see a wireless drive there. Activate it, reboot, and you should have wireless.

[05:42] UbuntuJeff, that one looks correct. You clicked "Reconfigure" or something like that in the openbox menu, tried running mplayer again and it still doesn't open on desktop 2?

[05:43] why distro it!??!?!?!?! [05:43] its a CTR [05:43] theGman: I seem to recall that's a system option setting. I'll look [05:43] FluffyMaster: Then see if the installer detects the partition after that [05:43] jabirali, nope, does it matter that I am trying to open it via mplayer command in terminal? [05:44] pawan_tejwani: yes, you can do manual [05:44] UbuntuJeff, no. "gmplayer" and "mplayer" both had the same WM_CLASS on my machine. Wait 2 sec, I'll bring out my lappy and test there [05:44] hi folks [05:44] jabirali, okay thanks [05:44] FluffyMaster: Just make sure you have a complete backup though, because as far as I can tell, there is something wrong with your partition table.

[05:46] well , i've got osx Snow Leopard/Windows7/Lucid but only on ONE disk.

[05:47] pawan_tejwani: The number of HD has nothing to do with it. You will need a way to select which os to boot to, ie a grub menu or something.Until yesterday my main os was fedora 12 [05:47] shishire: Yes, why? [05:47] oh snap! [05:47] Jordan_U, trying to figure out the best way to provide links to bug reports in general === patrick is now known as Guest22263 [05:47] pawan_tejwani: I understand the confusion. The sys is STILL dual or tri booting, regardless of how many hd's there are. [05:48] pawan_tejwani: Making it dual boot simply means that the grub menu will have options to boot the other OSs, you can tell grub not to create such menu entries. [05:48] same problem tstavrop [05:48] i believe the live cd has wireless drivers on board [05:48] pawan_tejwani: Meaning, it's not a single os sys. [05:48] I can always link the URL, but it's generally better if it gets some context too. [05:48] so i think if you pop it it then select it in the software sources, you could load it off there [05:48] theGman: the boot device priority settings from your boot loader of motherboard itself does much more simple work:P [05:48] help I have a gateway netbook with win 7 starter I installed ubuntu netbook via wubi and after install i rebooted and all I get is (after hitting enter to load ubuntu) is a flashing curser (underscore) and never load but if I edit the command in grub for recovery mode (chande hd to 0,1 insted of 0,2 it loads [05:48] can you help me?

X11 doesn't start on boot, but it works when i call sudo gdm from cli. [06:02] have linuxreviews lol only one review up though >_> [06:02] Chookie: wt? OK, but I KNOW you have bootloaer options in a text install including the option to NOT install a loader. [06:02] aye any1 knows how to set vuze to auto start on boot? [06:02] then linux wont go from ps3. [06:02] UbuntuJeff, you mean a twitter account? Or a page of some sorts? [06:02] w/o bootloader right? [06:02] Is it possible to get tab completion for self made shell scripts? how is this done? [06:02] jabirali, a twitter account [06:03] slxo: /usr/bin/add-apt-repository is provided by the package python-software-properties [06:03] bullgard4: thanks [06:03] Chookie: me: NOT a ps3 hacker.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [06:03] I got ubuntu 10.04 running on my ps3 by installing the petitboot bootloader.

[06:03] found a diff bootloader ;))) [06:04] Chookie: Have you filed a bug report? [06:04] yeah since 9.10... [06:04] UbuntuJeff, where do you live btw? [06:04] jabirali, Indiana you? [06:04] Chookie: link? [06:04] greezmunkey: no. [06:04] UbuntuJeff, Norway :) [06:05] jabirali, good wheter? [06:05] jabirali, weather lol [06:05] kasun_: wow, that took a while :) [06:05] jabirali, I added you to my friends list if thats okay with you [06:05] !#ubuntu-ps3|chookie [06:05] hey guys, i'm outside the US and i want to listen some streaming radio stations but since i'm not in america can't listen any of them.

[06:06] greezmunkey: sorry, i just saw it :) [06:06] UbuntuJeff, it's unstable lol. I currently live in Trondheim, and there is a saying that here, there are 3 seasons per day [06:06] Hey guys, I'm trying to install 10.04 LTS on a SC1425, without an active Internet connection. Is that possible? [06:06] !info lwiod [06:06] jabirali, lol as long as you don't loose an arm a leg or electricity its all good [06:06] should be, you don't need an internet connection for cd [06:06] Package lwiod does not exist in lucid [06:06] mianosm: Yes, you can install it, unsure what's a "SC1425", but normally you would not need to use networking during install [06:07] rootlinuxusr: I'm getting stuck at the "choose your mirror" portion. [06:07] Even after choosing to setup my (static) network later, it still lets me know that it can't touch any of the mirror archives. [06:07] UbuntuJeff, two days ago it was sunny outside so I put on shorts to walk the 10 minutes to my closest grocery store. It had started snowing before I got there, and when I got home again it was raining :-/ [06:07] Chookie: http://psubuntu.com [06:07] UbuntuJeff, I'm from eastern norway so I'm not really used to this unstable weather yet lol :P [06:07] jabirali, I feel your pain [06:08] mianosm: I always installed without networks. I just choose a location, then it complains that it can't connect to apt mirrors or some stuff like that, then it goes on installing normally, just have to apt-get update after installing [06:08] jabirali checkinstall works as it should when not using sudo command as prefix [06:08] anon^_^, great :) [06:08] problem is there's no way to tell if the commands follow work [06:08] it keeps kicking me back to the selection screen. :( theadmin [06:08] mianosm: hm. [06:08] without using sudo and letting it run its course [06:08] go back and continue are definitely the choices, but continue kicks me back [06:08] Uh how do you dual boot with 2 hdd? [06:09] mianosm: Maybe Lucid install procedure is different a bit... is there any kind of "skip"? [06:09] xp and ubuntu [06:09] PC: Install XP on one, install Ubuntu on another? [06:09] No, just and [06:09] both seem to have the same effect. [06:10] anon^_^, if it is successful, it will create a .deb package in your working directory. IIRC, the .deb is basically a .tar.gz-file, so you can try to look inside it to see if the correct files are there. [06:10] Hey all. [06:10] I somehow lost my little main icon that allowed me to get to my chat/email/broadcast easily. === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy [06:10] and idea how to get it back? [06:10] anon^_^, if the package is how it should be, you can install it with "sudo dpkg -i" or double-clicking graphically [06:10] it doesn't get that far jabirali. checkinstall attempts install first, if it fails it cleans up and exits [06:11] a deb normally is created after install [06:11] basttrax: Right click the panel, add to panel, Indicator Applet Session [06:11] theadmin, Thanks :) [06:11] that's what I meant by the only way to find out is using sudo [06:11] theadmin: dose it change the boot loader if i use 2 hdd? [06:11] Awesome [06:11] Okay, there was no virtualization options in my BIOS menu. [06:11] hey guys, i'm outside the US and i want to listen some streaming radio stations but since i'm not in america can't listen any of them. I've tried with several free proxy servers with no success. Can somebody give me ideas on how to get it? thanks in advance [06:12] anon^_^, it doesn't give any error before exiting? [06:12] anon^_^, and you did run it like "checkinstall make install-headers install-libs"? [06:12] actually it did [06:12] pm [06:12] anon^_^, ok [06:12] checkinstall doesnt work for everything, by the way [06:12] acerimmer: Hey, I got the tweak thing avail. But it's under system->preferences and shows four diff menu opts...galeon, nautilus, menus and sessions...whichone do I use? [06:12] its really not the proper way to make a deb. id suggest #ubuntu-packaging if you'd like to learn to do it right [06:13] theGman: what?

Only under system->preferences with four menu choices... [06:14] acerimmer: All with a gTeakUI - Prefix. [06:14] theGman: OKay that IS weird. How did you install tweak? Synaptic?

[06:16] Will I be able to install a JeOS off of a livecd? [06:16] I'll give it a whirl theGman [06:16] How do I grant sudo permission to an existing user that is lacking? [06:16] acerimmer: No doubt, but I don't/didn't see anything else to install for it? Maybe I should remove it and do it again?

[06:22] Still haven't figured out how to make my sys stop killing my usb stuff... [06:22] this supposed to happen? [06:22] undecim, aetaric: relogged and still happening. trying reboot [06:22] nixjr: add the "indicator applet" to the panel [06:22] slxo: Reboot won't do anything [06:22] slxo: you shouldn't need to reboot for permissions [06:22] slxo: Have the user run "groups" to verify s/he is in the admin grou[ [06:23] group* [06:23] darn I wish it was easy to just get text console at bootup in FB, not the splash [06:23] errrrrr [06:23] undecim, ah think you, i was looking for "volume applet" [06:23] Anyone had any luck setting up a G25 Steering wheel.

[06:24] Question regarding the ln command: I want to create a link to a directory off of "/" that I created. The directory is chown/chgrp to my user already. Can I ln to this directory (from my $HOME) with "ln -s /directory Linkname"? If I do, can I redily access it as if it were in my home dir? [06:24] acerimmer: Thx. Already got it, thus the "it's all good" part. ;) [06:24] Xgates: i wish i didn't have to start GDM/X11 every time i reboot === Locos_epraix is now known as chinchi29 [06:24] anyone know how you can boot Lucid with just the text showing in the console instead of the splash/plymouth running in framebuffer for the text? [06:24] is there anyway I can get a .deb (or other ubuntu-friendly package) for gcc or build-essential (if gcc is included in that) ? [06:25] greezmunkey: should work, yeah [06:25] Xgates: remove the "quiet splash" from the grub line [06:25] theGman: Cool. Enjoy. [06:25] Usually you would snag that through apt-get, but I'm trying to get internet connectivity working on a fresh UNR installation of 10.04. [06:25] undecim: I did that already, that's not all there is to it [06:25] when i try to install server 10.4 i386 edition using an ide dvd drive, i receive a message that says "no common cd drive found" [06:25] i hate plymouth so far [06:26] maco: Seems to have - I am curious about being able to use that as part of my home dir. Will I end up creating screwey permissions on files I place there? [06:26] greezmunkey: nope [06:26] Nvm, it IS apparently using the correct one. Ignore the question. :P [06:26] maco: cool, thx :) [06:26] Xgates: Doing that from grub will make it happen for one boot. If you want to remove it permanently, you need to remove it from /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" [06:26] maco: testing that now... [06:26] greezmunkey: if some /other/ user puts files in there, theyll be owned by that user [06:26] aetaric: well I did a custom install from the alternate iso for Lucid only installing LXDE and it's great, I just want to kill what little of plymouth is taking over the boot process [06:26] vd [06:27] Cryp71c use the install media as a package source and see how far ya get...... [06:27] maco: I chown/grp only to me [06:27] Cryp71c: so if don't have connectivity, how are you going to get the .debs to the laptop? [06:27] gcc is in synaptic in lucid [06:27] Loshki, thumb drive. [06:27] i've heard good things about lxde [06:27] undecim: I did that too and that's not all there is to it either, you need to do some more hacking to get it to boot only text in framebuffer [06:27] iflema, I tried to add the thumb drive (installation media) as a cd-rom but got no where with it. I've resorted to trying to snag the packages and move them across -_- [06:27] greezmunkey: if thats part of your usecase, i suggest setting the directory to be setgid (chmod g+s) and putting you and the other users into the same group, setting the dir's group as that one, and setting owner & group permissions to match [06:28] Anyone had any luck setting up a G25 Steering wheel. Mine does not work correctly.. Force feedback, 900 degree steering angle not working. [06:28] iflema, if you have advice regarding setting the thumb drive as a software source, I would rather attempt that. [06:28] i remember a greasemonkey script? i think that allowed me to change the color of the ubuntu forums site. anybody know what that was? i think it was greasemonkey [06:28] Cryp71c i dont know... ill have a look.....

[06:29] undecim: just removing quiet splash does nothing [06:29] iflema, I googled around for a while and found apt-cdrom but I couldn't get that working. [06:29] i accidently deleted my main panel with all my info on it ..is there any way i can restore the defualt main panel on the top of ubunto? [06:29] just installed 10.04 on an old dell dimension computer and the resolution is horrible.. installed a proprietary nvidia driver and cannot adjust it. [06:29] Loshki, yeah, iflema's solution is better, but I can't get any clear-cut instructions on how to use a thumb drive as software source. [06:29] maco: I think I see, that would preserve individual users file permissions, like in a shared directory?? [06:30] jew_: no, but you can add a panel and start from scratch [06:30] jew: right click, create a new panel and add the applets. [06:30] apt-cdrom is as far as I got, but no matter how I use it, I can't get it to recognize properly. [06:30] maco: I can read up on that! [06:30] i remember a greasemonkey script? i think that allowed me to change the color of the ubuntu forums site. anybody know what that was? i think it was greasemonkey [06:30] undecim, aetaric: $ groups | asdf admin | $ sudo apt-get update | [sudo] password for asdf: | asdf is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [06:30] Ok, I tried "grub-install --root-directory=" with the appropriate directory for the drive but it doesn't do anything [06:30] greezmunkey: yeah thatd be a shared directory. the creator would always be listed as the owner, but if you make it setgid & give group rwx permisions they can all operate on the files equally [06:30] ubuntu and old nvidia do not coincide [06:30] but i dont know what is on the other one ..i tryed to add the same ones ..but like the volume control and the wifi thing and all that isnt on the list [06:30] k4k nothing or Nothing?

[06:41] piss off [06:41] i don't have a facebook nor ever will i [06:41] good to hear the mrs has you by the nads too [06:41] ShadeS: watch the language pls [06:42] offtopic [06:42] oohh [06:42] ShadeS:i dont know what drivers my ubuntu has [06:42] how do i activate shockwave on lucid? [06:42] circuitman: are you sure it's not an eq setting that you're missing? [06:42] or does it just sound like a low bit rate mp3 instead of a full quality sound? [06:42] zipper_: do you have a file you want to view? [06:43] scunizi: i wanna play games online but they want me to install shockwave [06:43] ShadeS:there is no equilizer setting in the media player [06:43] zipper: have you restarted after upgrade..... I had to do that before shockwave would work [06:44] circuitman: what areyou using currently for your media player? [06:44] ShadeS:wma and mp3 audio [06:44] dbum: are you talking about shockwave or flash? [06:44] And also how do i activate java on chrome [06:44] those sounds like file formats not media players [06:44] flash [06:45] ShadeS:the defalult media player [06:45] I'm ot sure what that is for ubuntu.. [06:45] sho> [06:45] zipper_: Adobe doesn't make a Shockwave Linux client. Your best bet for shockwave is to download and install Firefox on Wine and install shockwave in it. [06:45] undecim: aye okay [06:45] another question [06:46] how do i activate java on chrome [06:46] zipper_: Have you isntalled restricted extras? [06:46] circuitman: install ubuntu-restricted-extras for those codecs [06:46] undecim: yea i did [06:46] Executing grub-install without the --no-floppy flag can also lead to this when there is a problem detecting the path of the floppy device [06:46] zipper_: no idea then. [06:46] undecim: it doesn't seem to work on chrome [06:46] undecim: it worked for mozilla! [06:47] Who pastebinned the "Auto-detection of a filesystem module failed" err? [06:47] mozilla uses a different plugin architecture than chrome. [06:47] for some unknown reason i lost my network icon from the top right panel anyone know how i can get it back ? [06:47] moetunes: i installed the codecs to play mp3 and wma audio. But the quality of playing is not good as it is in windows [06:47] Google Chrome requires Java 6 Update 12 or greater (Java 6u12+), as indicated in the Google Chrome Help Center. The Chrome browser is new and not officially supported by Sun for Java 6. We at Sun are working hard to add support for Chrome as soon as possible, and we expect to announce support in the near future. Please check back for updates. [06:48] zipper_: Well, It's Oracle now, not Sun. There's no telling what will happen to Java. [06:48] White-Horse: indicator applet [06:48] White-Horse: Wait, no, maybe. [06:49] undecim: that's easy. It will be [06:49] "monetized" [06:49] White-Horse: network manager applet [06:49] moetunes: i installed the codecs to play mp3 and wma audio. But the quality of playing is not good as it is in windows [06:49] anybody try to use emapthy with myspace contacts in lucid? it shows I connect to server but no one can see me and I can't see myspace offline contacts. I think its just myspace chat... it sux [06:50] Ok so I'm stumped, I've tried several variations of using grub-install including "grub-install --root-direcotory=/boot /dev/sda1" and it tells me to make sure sda1 is mounted (which it is) and suggests running "grub-probe /dev/sda1" to find out the modules to use in --modules= and I found it was ext2 so I did --modules=ext2. Thoughts? [06:50] how do i get a full new desktop theme for panels and everything? [06:50] circuitman: I read it the first time - can't add more than what others have suggested [06:51] jew art manager [06:51] k4k Executing grub-install without the --no-floppy flag can also lead to this when there is a problem detecting the path of the floppy device: [06:51] k4k http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2 [06:51] is there one in the software manager? [06:51] acerinmer there is no network manager applet in the add to panel [06:51] hi i just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, but am having a problem printing...it's just giving blank pages; with ubuntu 9.04 it was working properly [06:51] jew yes install it. [06:52] moetunes:how to get good sound same like in windows [06:52] oh okay i found it . thanks again guys [06:52] subir: I had to untinstall drivers and reinstall (I upgraded though) [06:52] i have run the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 and it is stuck on "installing the upgrades" and the terminal is saying "found linux image: ..." what should i do? [06:52] subir: go to http://localhost:631 and verify you have the right driver.. if it looks ok try adding another printer (same one) .. sometimes it just takes adding it again to make it work. [06:53] circuitman: I never have sound issues so i can't suggest anything sorry [06:53] circuitman: maybe if you describe the actual issue [06:53] doing "grub-install /dev/sda1 --no-floppy" gave me a message that auto-detection of filesystem module failed and again recommends the --modules arg [06:53] wyrlss: ^^ [06:53] hm [06:53] circuitman: it's pretty hard for us to know what you mean by "same like in windows" [06:53] k4k kick it [06:54] is there some app that i can install that will allow my to drag the pointer to select multiple files in GNOME? [06:54] liam, "found linux image:...." don't sound like a error why don't you give us more details? [06:54] wyrlss: could it be because it's on an EXT4 FS? [06:54] hateball: what i can tell u is just listen an mp3 song both in linux and windows then you will know the difference [06:54] holy freaking Crud what's it going to take just to boot this dang Lucid with a text console [06:54] I'm on ubuntu 10.04 with a corrupt mysql installation. I'm unable to remove mysql and need some help. dpkg --purge .. apt-get remove etc doesnt seem to wanna work [06:54] GodricBrutus: you can't already do that? where exactly is this? [06:54] * Xgates bangs head [06:54] k4k I don't know, I am damn near retarded. [06:55] crdlb, nautilus [06:55] come on there must be some Ubuntu geeks around here that know how to hack this thing.... [06:55] crdlb, in list view [06:55] circuitman: I dont use Windows. *What* is the difference? More bass? Do you need to adjust an equalizer? [06:55] dbum, scunizi ok thnx will try that [06:55] curcuitman try installing someform of graphic equiliser plugin to the software you are using for playback. Also check your drivers for your soundcard [06:56] k4k http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8942566 [06:56] hateball:its not about bass or treble. its about the overall sound [06:56] you will only know when u play the same song in both [06:56] k4k has some similarity. [06:56] I wanted to record audio streams from other apps in audacity, installed jackd, and am presently soundless (running 9.10). Anyone able/care to advise whether it would be better to try to configure jack or roll back? [06:56] circuitman Can you quantify that? [06:57] Development and MOTU Q&A Session in 3m [06:57] wyrlss: you're a genius, that did it! [06:57] k4k Again, I am damn near retarded. [06:57] wyrlss: in linux it's like listening in a tape recorder [06:57] ;-) [06:58] solved: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9238002 [06:58] wyrlss: in windows its a different thing [06:58] hey guys, since i did an upgrade to lucid my volume control in the top panel disappeared and i can't find another one! i tried right click on the panel, add to panel, but no volume control in that list to select. [06:58] circuitman Like it's playing at a lower bitrate? [06:58] mikubuntu: any chance you disabled pulseaudio right before it disappeared? [06:58] GodricBrutus: ah, I don't think that's possible, but you can use Ctrl and Shift [06:59] wyrlss: may be thats the problem [06:59] thanks guys have a good night/day [06:59] crdlb, yeah, i know. was wondering if there was an app or something that will allow me to do that [06:59] How do i use the brain fuck scheduler [06:59] wyrlss: You think it's necessary to follow through with the "update-grub" step? Because now it's not working... [06:59] !langauge [06:59] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:59] maco, not that i know of [07:00] seriously, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Fuck_Scheduler [07:00] k4k I think updating grub after you get fix is a good idea. [07:00] how would i check into that maco [07:00] GodricBrutus: that would require modifying nautilus itself [07:00] k4k to fix the fix. Maybe. [07:00] Hi ! I am using Ubuntu 10.04. My adobe flash is crashing after hours. I mean i can using after fresh format but it is crashing a few hours later even i am not doing any thing on Ubuntu as configuration or installation. Opera and firefox can not use the flash at the same time. I dont have any other problem on my system. Can you help me please! [07:00] wyrlss do you know how to configure a G25 force feedback wheel in lucid? [07:00] wyrlss: I'll do some more poking because update-grub gives me cannot find device for / [07:00] so idk... [07:00] anyone know if audacity + pulseaudio can capture sound from other apps, or if something like jack is needed? [07:00] mohawkboi I don't know what that is. [07:01] crdlb, i see. i thought it might have been like that app that lets you cary the clipboard over to different apps when the source app is closed. [07:01] crdlb, in comparison [07:01] can i disable the fact that my right-click acts as a left-click sometimes? like if i were to right click on my desktop and accidentally right click again on one of the menu items that come up, it acts as if i right clicked on the menu item because it activates the clicked item [07:02] maco, how would i check that pulseaudio angle? [07:02] mikubuntu: ps -ef | grep pulse [07:03] k4k http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Howto_Fix_Grub [07:03] Well, this is a bummer... I'm trying to work out a way to do a real (non-wubi) install of Ubuntu from Windows without any removable media at all, but the installer always thinks it has to change the partition table, and won't do it because /cdrom is mounted to that drive... Time to try the alternate install I guess.. [07:03] maco, just b4 you said that i entered pulseaudio in term and got this: E: pid.c: Daemon already running. E: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. [07:03] k4k mebbe you can get this super grub disk thing? It looks like it slices dices and makes julienne fries. [07:03] I am using Ubuntu 10.04. My adobe flash is crashing after hours. I mean i can using after fresh format but it is crashing a few hours later even i am not doing any thing on Ubuntu as configuration or installation. Opera and firefox can not use the flash at the same time. I dont have any other problem on my system. Can you help me please! [07:03] how often is ubuntu released? === MortenTemp is now known as Morten_ [07:03] sudo grub-mkconfig [07:03] er... [07:03] wrong shell [07:03] every 6 months [07:04] Cytotonic [07:04] maco, to be sure do you mean enter ps -ef | grep pulse into terminal? [07:04] undecim: you can't do the install from inside windows.. you have to boot to it either from cd/usb/dvd or there's also a netboot option. [07:04] Xgates: did you try this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313789 [07:04] mikubuntu: yeah but sounds like you already got the answer i was looking for...that yes its runnign [07:05] maco, so i wonder where it swallowed my volume control to? [07:05] hi [07:05] is someone have a asus eeepc 1201nl under ubuntu 10.04 ? [07:05] mikubuntu: dunno. i just know that the applet requires pulse and that often people remove pulse and get the surprise that their volume thingy is gone too [07:06] scunizi: I've managed to isntall the live environment to the hard drive with Unetbootin and boot into it by installing syslinux manually (and botching the DOS bootloader, but grub should eventually replace that), but the installer won't install, because no matter what I do, the isntaller thinks it has to commit partition table changes, even though I already have all the partitions and filesystems set up before installation. [07:07] hi people. I installed a newer kernel just for testing, and indeed resolved my problem (support for WEP-shared key on ath9k) [07:07] undecim: undecim are you using the manual partitioning section of the install or automatic? even with manual you need to tell the partitioner assign your precreated partitions to the appropriate mount points.. ie / and /home and /swap [07:08] but now I'm getting segfaults and I can't install some apps. wireless-backports didn't help me [07:08] maco, i found a pulseaudio launcher in the menu and just put it back up to the panel, gonna go check it now .. thx [07:08] I am using Ubuntu 10.04. My adobe flash is crashing after hours. I mean i can using after fresh format but it is crashing a few hours later even i am not doing any thing on Ubuntu as configuration or installation. Opera and firefox can not use the flash at the same time. I dont have any other problem on my system. Can you help me please! [07:09] does ubuntu support HT? [07:09] hyperthreading [07:09] maco, its a different icon then used to be there, so maybe thats why it wasn't automagically put back up after upgrade [07:09] CytotoxicTCell: use to .. [07:09] dbum: no that's Karmic I'm using Lucid [07:09] CytotoxicTCell: not sure if it still does or if you might need a special kernel [07:09] CytotoxicTCell, I suppose it depends on your CPU [07:09] Intel Atom [07:10] Xgates: I'm guessing it don't work then..... I would also like to know how to do this [07:10] scunizi: Yes. I used partition wizard to resize all the partitions beforehand and setup a FAT32 for unetbootin/shared between Windows and Ubuntu, a swap partition and a root partition, and used the live environment to set up all the filesystems in advance. I went to the manual partitioning (was forced there actually) and just set mount points (no resize, no formatting) but on the last step it says it can't install because it has to commi [07:10] t partition table changes and can't do it because /cdrom is mounted there. [07:10] bye! [07:11] scunizi: I'm going to try the alternate install next to see if that works. This is all in virtual machine for testing so it's easy to start over. [07:11] undecim: the cdrom is mounted where? [07:11] undecim: do you have usb available? [07:11] wyrlss: yea...the stuff in that wiki page isn't working [07:11] scunizi: /cdrom is mounted at /dev/sda2, because unetbootin installed to the hard drive. [07:12] how do i change th boot order in my dual boot laptop? [07:12] undecim: so unetbootin is in the same partition that you're tring to install to? [07:12] scunizi: no, I'm installing to a partition adjacent to it [07:12] ah [07:13] undecim: sounds like it should work.. no usb ports huh? [07:13] scunizi: It's just that ubiquity is over-cautious [07:13] how do i change th boot order in my dual boot laptop [07:14] scunizi: Well, like I said, it's on a vm, so I could really just use an iso, but I'm trying to work out a way to do it with no external media. [07:14] undecim: netboot and install from there? [07:14] mikeubuntu: run gnome-volume-control-applet for original [07:15] scunizi: Yeah, I guess that could be done, but I'm assuming that whoever would be doing this doesn't have a server to netboot from. [07:15] !grub2 > blackshell this will give a clue [07:15] blackshell, please see my private message [07:16] undecim: I think ubuntu has something in the cloud for you to do that with.. possibly on an ec3 server.. hang on [07:16] how can I find the size of a directory? [07:16] du [07:16] or df [07:16] mtx_init, so, "du /directory/"? [07:16] jeeves: Either with the Disk Usage Analyzer, or from the command line with "du -s directory" [07:16] how do I logon to existing session on a windows machine from ubuntu like mstsc /admin or mstsc /console in windows [07:16] hi again [07:17] does anyone know why nm-applet will connect to a network, but for some reason dhclient will not establish an IP alone, and WICD will not connect to a network either? [07:17] jeeves: try du -hs --apparent-size /path [07:17] dbum: all I can get is 640x480, not sure if it's the radeonfb that don't work cause I use the radeon X driver [07:17] so has anyone got this card to work? http://en.store.creative.com/products/product.aspx?catid=1&pid=16770&nav=1 [07:17] moetunes, thanks. [07:17] Xgates, Did you do a distro upgrade? [07:17] np [07:18] Xgates: I use that driver too (X800) [07:18] both WICD and dhclient fail to establish an IP address, but network manager works fine- I really need internet from command line.. Arch linux works fine. dhcpcd doesnt establish an IP either [07:18] Xgates: I was looking @ splashy (synaptic) [07:18] wyrlss: ended up having to run grub-install --recheck --root-directory=/mnt --no-floppy /dev/sda1 [07:18] works now [07:18] Xgates: haven't tried it yet though [07:18] has ubuntu 64 bit 10.04 general problem with adobe flash ? can somebody use it here properly at lest 10 hours the adobe flash ? [07:19] GSF1200S, Open network utility from gnome. Tell it to allow connections for all users on the system [07:19] Hmm. Many web pages I see say that Evolution should have a "Google" option in "New Calendar", but I don't seem to have one. [07:20] xiambax: I dont have gnome- what package is it so I can install it, run it, and remove it [07:20] Okay, so I need someone with a little more ssh-foo than I have at the moment. If I have 3 computers, such that A | B C, where '|' is a one-way firewall, what ssh command can I do from A to B to make it so connections to port 2000 on B are tunneled to port 2000 on A? [07:20] Huh. Odd. Suddenly it's there after restarting, even though I ran Evolution for the first time a few minutes ago. [07:20] does anyone know how to configure nvidia for multihead on a laptop + lcd monitor that will autodetect and change configuration when i attach / detach the second screen? Is that even possible? [07:20] its just part of the network applet [07:20] !flash64 | serkan_14 tried this link?

[07:22] o [07:22] xiambax: is there anyway I can apply this to all networks, even the ones I havent connected to yet? I see what you mean- I enabled that checkbox- thanks alot [07:22] No problem [07:23] scunizi: Thanks. I'll take a look at it. [07:23] Yeah it should work with future ones too [07:23] That will connect to your networks on boot [07:23] Xgates: What do you mean "just want the console to boot"? [07:23] xiambax: cool beans.. thanks :) [07:24] is there a later skype than that in synaptic for ubuntu 8.04 [07:24] skype will not sign in for me [07:25] maco: That link works great - I needed to do some filesystem maintenance! [07:25] scunizi: No good. This is the same thing unetbootin does, but with a different boot loader. It's going to have the same problems. [07:25] greezmunkey: yay :) [07:26] undecim: too bad.. good project.. when/if you get it working you should try to add it to the community docs [07:26] scunizi: I was going to put it on my blog, and copy it to a howto in the tutorials section of the forum. I guess I can copy to the docs, too. [07:27] time for bed.. night all.

My router does not have patced firmware and kvric does not let me set network specific port.

[07:56] i thought the lts versions where supported for 3 years y is skyoe not able to [07:56] meowbuntu I wouldn't suggest it except that you appear to be crazy. [07:57] wyggler2, not crazy just sencable man [07:57] Pyrokinetics: I don't use the default ubuntu vnc connection tho - I set it up myself... [07:57] xgates: don't really want 640x480... thanks though..... gonna google some more [07:57] i use what works not what does not [07:57] bruciee: Did you try rm and get that error between booting and running dmesg? [07:57] meowbuntu LTS means Canonical. [07:57] moetunes: how do I do that [07:57] meowbuntu Canonical does not make Skype. [07:57] dbum: yes that's not exactly FB, LOL... [07:57] ha [07:58] Pyrokinetics: on the comp you want to connect to sudo apt-get install portmap vnc-server [07:59] Jordan_U, rm returns the same error. [07:59] dbum: this seems to be still in affect, at least for me: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/401514 [07:59] moetunes: and you can control it? [07:59] Jordan_U, rm -f doesn't work either [07:59] How do I give put myself in the CD/DVD group so I can write cd/dvds??? It's /dev/sr0. [07:59] Pyrokinetics: I set it to show the fluxbox desktop I set up so yes [08:00] meowbuntu Are you sure it's an issue with the Skype program? [08:00] Hello all. I'm trying to learn how to irssi. Is it usually to have red "!" before the channel name? [08:00] shazbotmcnasty: are you in the cdrom group? [08:00] d [08:00] kasun: I meant did you get that error before running dmesg. dmesg displays the kernel log and I didn't see any io errors there. If you did run rm and get that error, and it didn't produce a message in dmesg, then that means it's less likely to be a hardware problem. [08:00] moetunes, well i need to do that to, how would I go about doing so? [08:01] red2kic-irssi, yo9u should ask in the irssi channel or read their documentation [08:01] dbum: ahh I just noticed something on that URL: After struggling a lot with kernel modules and boot options I finally found by accident that adding the "fbdev" kernel option allows my system to provide framebuffer devices [08:01] I removed gnome.... so I can't use the gnomenu [08:02] Jordan_U, yes, i got the error before running dmesg. [08:02] dbum: this is what that guy is running on the kernel : ro quiet splash radeon.modeset=0 video=uvesafb:2560x1600-60 fbdev === phillip is now known as count0nz [08:02] bazhang: I have done that and have customized some things so far. However, I'm comfortable in asking experts (such as you) since I'm not getting the layout the way I like. [08:02] xgates: hum.... gonna play with it tomorrow.... gotta get some sleep for now.... thanx [08:02] k [08:02] shazbotmcnasty: I would edit /etc/group and add your user to cdrom line [08:03] cool [08:03] Jordan_U, and after it too. As I remember (not sure) my pen got removed (physicaly) and got connected again when I was copying the same files. [08:03] moetunes, it is on that line D: [08:03] I join to ubuntu channel! [08:04] Xgates: dbum: kernel mode setting in the radeon driver is usually a better way to go to get full resolution console than uvesafb [08:04] shazbotmcnasty: does your user show in the cdrom group when you type groups in terminal? [08:04] sudook: are you sure? [08:04] Jordan_U, I got that assumption because, my pen folder 'autorun' opened in the middle of copying, but seemed copying went smoothly [08:04] hope you have a good time for everyone. [08:04] Jordan_U: what video=radeonfb? [08:04] moetunes: fluxbox?

[08:06] Pyrokinetics: yep - my choice for a desktop for the server I connect to occasionally with vnc [08:06] Jordan_U, sorry I had to leave right now. Please post a possible solution if you have. Ill try it in a little time. thanks in advance! [08:06] sudook: keke [08:06] moetunes: why can't things just work x) im so lostr [08:06] sudook: but do you know how to part channel!? [08:07] Xgates: It's a kernel parameter, modeset=0 disables kernel mode setting, modeset=1 enables it. What version of Ubuntu are you using, and what GFX card? [08:07] I have a problem in ubuntu 10.04.The volume control icon is not coming in the takbar.Any solution with anyone [08:07] ? [08:07] flodin: no, just to see ...

[08:08] Xgates: Do you have fglrx installed?

[08:14] Jordan_U: I've been trying to also use GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 with no success [08:14] Xgates: The video=radeonfb:1024x768-60 fbdev shouldn't be necessary (but then again KMS should also be working by default in 10.04) [08:14] Xgates: Ubuntu's kernel doesn't honor the video mode passed to it by the bootloader, for whatever reason. [08:15] Hi, is there any virtualbox with usb support for lucid ? [08:15] well this thing doesn't seem to like FB for my ati chip then, or I'm not setting things correct then [08:16] Jordan_U: so far all I'm doing is running GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768 & GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 and then I 'blacklisted vga16fb' and then tried loading vesafb to /etc/modules, that's it [08:16] did anyone elses MPD broke upon upgrading to Lucid [08:16] Xgates: If radeon KMS doesn't work, and 1024x768 is supported by vesa on your machine, then uvesafb should work (it's just nicer to use native drivers when possible) [08:17] Xgates: Does the grub menu show up in 1024x768? [08:17] uvesafb, that's the same as vesafb? [08:17] Jordan_U: yeah grub shows up in 1024x768 === baddog is now known as Guest27073 [08:18] Hey, does anyone know what the status is with "switchable graphics" in linux/ubuntu?

[08:20] <--- issues [08:20] was just wondering what you did, maybe i could learn from it [08:20] Jordan_U: since I did a custom install with only LXDE all that's installed is just plymouth, but not any splash stuff, so after grub loads the screen goes blank then I'll get some console text, not sure why it's not just booting straight to verbose instead of to a blank screen first, like it's trying to load something, maybe plymouth trying to load a splash [08:20] Gal, can you elaborate on your ati fix? Link? [08:21] how do i fix the $PATH when something is showing up 20+ times when i only have it once in my bashrc file? i have the same effect when i remove the path from $PATH as well [08:21] Jordan_U: that video=uvesafb:2560x1600-60 is just something I posted, I'd make it for my box instead ----> video=uvesafb:1024x768-60 [08:21] i get mails that got forwarded (as attachment) by ubuntu. how would i properly view those? [08:21] Xgates in grub check vbeinfo ... check if there urs resulition listed or not [08:22] AniX: how do I check that? [08:22] Hi. How can I make Empathy sign in automatically? I always have to select the envelope icon and then chat to make it sign in. (I'm running lucid) [08:22] Xgates: Try that then, you may need to add uvesafb to your initramfs but try first without. [08:22] stanman246: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9218816 [08:22] uneed to reboot ..and open grub comman [08:22] hope that helps [08:23] Jordan_U: try first without what? [08:23] Xgates: AniX: Since grub can use 1024x768 that mode is a supported VBE mode. [08:23] Xgates: Adding uvesafb and v86d to your initramfs [08:23] whats urs resulition? [08:23] Is there a global .Xdefaults? I can make on in my home directory, but I would like to make on somewhere in /etc that applies for all users.

[09:50] :) [09:50] msinfosec: If it "didn't do that before o_O" that doesn't mean that "problem is not with the card", they might have messed up teh drivers [09:50] xsist10: ntfs3g handles it fine, it just doesn't seem to expose it :/ [09:50] roky, I think you need to install the "equinox" theme engine [09:50] ok thanks let me try that [09:50] roky, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Equinox+GTK+Engine?content=121881 [09:50] luketheduke: no idea i'm afraid.. will need to poke someone with more expirience [09:51] xsist10: yeah, thanks anyway [09:51] roky, there are ubuntu debs on that page, try installing it and reload the theme - I think it might work :) [09:51] thanks :) [09:51] I have upgraded an installation of 9.10 to 10.04 on a toshiba a15-s129 laptop with a dead display, using an external display. when the upgrade was done and after reboot the external display will display some booting and then go off. using the Function - F5 key doesn't make a difference.

[09:59] who here knows about installs on pendrive, and a trick to do the same with a alternate versions please ? :) [10:00] that no one can ping me?

[10:00] even my isp pings me [10:00] theos: its stupid to drop pings [10:00] most `theos most routers have a disable icmp reply buttons [10:01] theadmin, can you get a regular one to not install grub ? [10:01] wulfy: to see who is online? so i can be sure before i started to download a huge files [10:01] melodie_: hm... uh... maybe. But no idea how. What's wrong with GRUB? [10:01] theos: no security-benefits at all but problems to check networking-issues [10:01] llutz, people pinging me from all over the world take my money away [10:01] does anyone know a room that would specialize on xserver stuff in ubuntu 10.04? [10:01] squiddy, well in that case a lan scanner would be a waste of time, you would simply ping target machines ip and wait for a reply [10:01] what's wrong is that it's grub2 and I don't want to dive into it's complex config to realize a multiboot that I know to do eyes closed with old grub :D [10:02] IsleVegan: #xorg is the X channel [10:02] thanks theadmin [10:02] llutz, most routers diable external icmp but allow lan side pings to travel round [10:02] theos: you pay for being pinged? next time read what you undersign [10:02] theadmin, ok, never mind, I'll install ubuntu, then install pclinuxos with regular old grub...

[10:03] wulfy: thanks :) [10:03] llutz, lol it uses bytes in pinging. i pay per byte [10:03] wulfy: no security-benefits at all, so why care? [10:03] I've had problems connecting to my locally stored mysql server since upgrading. I try to start the service, but get told its already running. Had no problems before the upgrade to 10.04. Any ideas on how to fix this? [10:04] theos: man iptables [10:04] Lord`Saladin: Tried anything similar to "sudo service mysqld restart"? [10:04] llutz, i can think of several high profile sites that disallow pining to there servers... im sure theres a reason behind it [10:04] wulfy: ping of death? [10:04] do someone know if there is a difference between : install Lucid then install the ubuntu-netbook-remix package AND OR install directly Ubuntu Netbook Remix ? [10:04] ...

[10:05] wulfy: that they do doesn't mean it makes sense ;) [10:05] theadmin: Yeah, but it just hangs in the terminal, giving no output. [10:05] melodie_: That is, you'll get two different desktops... uh... graphical environments... howdyawantit... [10:06] Lord`Saladin: huh. [10:06] theadmin, and LTS support ? Right ? :D [10:06] melodie_: Uh. Actually, I'm unsure about that. Not a Canonical staff member. [10:07] could anyone pls help me with this? http://pastebin.org/204407 [10:07] theadmin: By hanging, I mean that the restart program is running but doesn't seem to do anything. When I try closing terminal, it says the program is still running, but nothing is happening. [10:07] theadmin, thanks anyway. :) [10:07] Lord`Saladin: I'm not stupid, i know what hanging is.

And ah, okay. [10:08] simple as that? === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [10:08] Error403: Yes, Upstart ignores anything in /etc/init that doesn't end in "conf" so it will ignore GDM and won't start it [10:08] Error403: you prefer "sudo aptitude purge gdm"? [10:09] Error403, indeed no startup conf for gdm no gdm [10:09] llutz do not want to get rid of GDM all together [10:09] Error403: on a server? why not? [10:10] I say server, its not really a server, its more just a headless workstation for me to learn command line linux [10:10] k [10:10] i guess i should keep gdm for the rare occasion i cant deal with something via CLI [10:10] hi, yesterday I did do-release-upgrade on a 9.10 machine over screen remotely. Every once in a while I would answer some prompts, today it asked to restart and then did a bunch of things on restart. Now when the machine is back, cat /etc/lsb-release-info says 9.10.... any idea what happened ? it didn't upgrade ? [10:10] what is the name of the program used in opensuse for their menu in gnome? [10:10] in fact do-release-upgrade is now offering me to upgrade... so what happened to all the stuff it did yesterday [10:10] Error403: or you could just install ubuntu server edition [10:10] Error403, shouldnt you just tell gdm to step back i remaber doing that a few years back command eludes me basicly tell gdm to bog off while you play in bash [10:11] Hello all, I'd like a for-loop in bash command in a certain folder? (ie start, command , do next?) [10:11] what is the simplest way to set up a multi boot (vista-ubuntu-another gnu/linux)? [10:11] blip-: That file is outdated.

[10:11] quietone: install all other OSs, then install ubuntu === horza_ is now known as dbr [10:11] quietone: Install Windows first. [10:11] quietone: Best piece of advice one can give.

I'll know where to put the command in. [10:12] http://pastebin.com/Dsbwweu1 <-- can somebody explain to me why java won't install? [10:12] blip-: uh. That's a command. Just run this: "lsb_release -rc" [10:12] llutz: If you want to know, it's HandBrakeCLI :) [10:12] theadmin: ah :) ok it says 9.10 too [10:13] hi I am a Linux Expert I can help your all the questions. [10:13] LinuxExpert: you know how to expose ntfs compression? ntfs3g handles it transparently, but doesn't seem to expose it [10:13] red2kic: use find (-exec or |xargs) [10:13] try this one [10:13] blip-: Hm, it seems it did not update. [10:13] llutz: who are xargs [10:14] red2kic: "man xargs" or like: for file in *pr0n.avi; do handbrake some-option $file; done [10:14] the monitor off button doesn't monitor off with 10.04 T_T [10:14] (Eee laptop) [10:14] llutz: The commands looks like this: script.sh llutz-diary [10:14] theadmin what is the point of the line in the /etc/default/grub file which says: [10:14] # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) [10:14] GRUB_TERMINAL=console [10:14] llutz: looooool o_O [10:14] Even when uncommented it still boots to gui [10:14] llutz: I'll do a dryrun.; [10:14] Error403: I'm unsure who that is. [10:14] although your way worked, i am just interested to know [10:14] red2kic: test with "echo" lines [10:15] theadmin: have you try to update-grub ? [10:15] So, that means that the installer will set up grub correctly and I don't need to edit anything (except of course have sensible partitions) [10:15] cheche: Uhm, why would I? [10:15] llutz: How about directory instead of file? [10:15] quietone: that's the idea [10:15] theadmin: ups, I think that the message ewas for Error40 [10:15] red2kic: find . -type d -exec ......

I can setup IRC just fine [11:00] Pleeese Can anyone offer a suggestion as to why I cant see all the icons in my system menu, botom 4 are missing below screen [11:00] farvito_: if you have pidgin setup, just use import option in empathy :p [11:00] geekphreak: I was making a joke as the fact that I couldnt find IRC options [11:01] Lord`Saladin: of course you casnt connect to mysql if you havent start it...

I'm unsure, run htop and search for "update" or something [11:15] jae: It might as well be done trough Synaptic, on second thought [11:15] theadmin: I do know about how to stop/continue processes (I even know that you can leave out the "SIG" part)...

[11:20] i've got no sound in youtube videos after upgrade to lucid lynx [11:20] bullgard4: schematic capture is the drawing of the circuit all simulation programs use the term [11:20] from where can i get ibus doc [11:20] mr_boo do you have any other processes open that use audio? mplayer or vlc etc? [11:20] nope [11:21] mr_boo, I found that they tended to be muted. the video controls on the youtube video, check if the volume is muted [11:21] theadmin: i think you didn't get my problem. I can only see my cursor on the screen. Everything is black. (i'm writing in a live cd session) [11:21] erUSUL: Thank you for explaining. [11:21] tkbros: See their homepage on http://code.google.com/p/ibus/ [11:21] bullgard4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schematic_capture [11:21] nelsonsmoreira19: chroot then sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm [11:21] i just detected that i can't even watch the video in youtube [11:22] mr_boo: Reinstall flash? [11:22] Grizmawe: just wondering if I can pause the 10.04 upgrade... if pausing the "lucid" process works [11:22] theadmin: sorry, i'm very, very noob on this. what do you mean with chroot? [11:22] theadmin, gonna try [11:22] hy there, what packages to use to have an own chanserv nickserv on my irc server? [11:22] jae, how far along is it? if it is still downloading the packages then should be fine. If it is installing them then I wouldnt! [11:23] nelsonsmoreira19: Mount your Linux partition and run "sudo chroot /wherever/you/mounted/it/to/" [11:23] erUSUL: Thank you very much for providing me this link. [11:23] bullgard4: no problem [11:24] Grizmawe: well, installing it... if it was downloading packages, I'd just cancel the upgrade when I run out of time :P [11:24] jae, not sure what pausing the process would do... you could always try hibernating the machine, will save all states then so should in theory come back up as it was.... in theory.... [11:24] erUSUL: wow it can be hidden ?!?! my grub entries are correct. XP on hda0,1 and 9.10 on hda0,2. I will reboot and try shift. Perhaps plugging in sata drives mucked up the volumes.

I try not to touch the thing at all when updating [11:24] What I'm basically looking for is the equivalent of hitting ctrl-s in the shell during an "apt-get dist-upgrade"... :P [11:25] neddludd2: 0,1? what the... is this GRUB1? [11:25] i want ibus input method bengali -itrans keyboard layout.where can i get it?and also doc about it.

(i use lucid) [11:26] ispudum: do not think so [11:26] ok thanks erUSUL ;) [11:26] erUSUL: Everything is possible in the world of FOSS ;) just recompile it [11:26] erUSUL : grub loading stage 1.5 grub loading plese wait. error 17. hmmmmmmmmmmm. I may have to re install. Its ok I have a seperate HOME partition.Its just fustrating with 64k internet. thank you for your help [11:26] neddludd2: no problem [11:26] jae, using the gui upgrade process in turn launches the dpkg in background so would have to work out all processes it has spawned. Wouldnt recommend it! [11:26] Btw, is there even a console-only equivalent to the upgrade-manager? [11:27] jae: do-release-upgrade [11:27] Thanks [11:27] This could be interesting I'm updating from karmic to lucid using the update manager [11:27] jae: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (or that thing which erUSUL said, it's equivalent to release upgrade in UM) [11:27] "See 'man 7 undocumented' [...]" Sweet. Not. [11:27] jae, you can install update-manager-text [11:28] theadmin: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <<< only works if you edit sources by hand ... and it is not recomended to do it. the update manager does more than that (for better or worse) [11:28] hi guys, i'm wanting to add a script to run at boot-time. (similar way to autoexec.bat on windows) - can someone help me with the runlevels idea and where to put my script? thanks! [11:28] erUSUL: Well, that is for just checking for package updates [11:29] paul1: just use /etc/rc.local [11:29] theadmin, i reinstalled flash and restarted firefox but no improvement [11:29] paul1 add the script to /etc/rc.local [11:29] erUSUL: is it normal for 9.10 to NOT have 'recover a broken system' on boot cd menu ? [11:29] paul1: what does the script do? [11:29] paul1, is it a daemon (service) or something for your desktop session? [11:29] paul1: put the commands in the file before the esit 0 [11:29] neddludd2: dunno; been ages i needed something like that [11:29] the script would be to do a little housekeeping, nothing serious [11:30] paul1: be more specific so we can give you a proper answer [11:30] erUSUL: yes I have it on my older 8.04 etc but I think that wont help with newer grub version now. [11:30] paul1: Like they said, autoexec.bat in Linux world is /etc/rc.local [11:30] hi , i'm searching for some software similar to "virtual dj" on windows for a friend ? i'd like him to discover ubuntu :) [11:30] Grizmawe: thanks! Will do so... as soon as this upgrade is through [11:30] i'll be more specific once i have more details lol [11:30] jae, np [11:30] but thanks for the pointer [11:30] paul1: as you wish... [11:31] Mikerhinos: that one complicated tool :) [11:31] * jae is not a big fan of graphical-everythings [11:31] paul1, if it is a housekeeping task you may want to look at cron to automate running it at regular intervals. [11:31] Mikerhinos: dont think it has nix equivlent afaik mate [11:32] theadmin: well, i'm realy noob :s i tried what you said, but it replyed: operation not permited (sorry, english is not my first language, i had to translate. don't now if it is correct). I wrote :chroot /home/ubuntu/Desktop [11:32] @grizmawe: yeah thats might be a better way actually [11:32] geekphreak, :s damn he won't leave windows so [11:32] is there a good way to reinstall flash entirely?

[11:33] * jae wonders... if he'd just stop dpkg... should work, as long as "lucid" doesn't have a timeout [11:33] anyone here running UNR 10.04?

[12:05] nils_: not a mysql issue. can run manually using sudo -u mysql mysqld. must be upstart related [12:05] erUSUL, crypt-luka [12:06] luks* [12:06] casual: is the partition mounted ? you have to umount them before fscking [12:06] * jae will, if running out of time for the upgrade (don't ask) just kill it and hope he can repair whatever may be broken... [12:06] knoptik: so you can connect to mysql? [12:06] erUSUL, it isnt mounted [12:06] nelsonsmoreira19: are you using gdm or kdm? [12:07] geekphreak: sorry. I don't even know what that is... [12:07] geekphreak: yep, i just found out i can start it manually. so mysql works fine, but upstart fails to start/stop/do anything with mysql [12:07] How long does it take to compile the kernel source? [12:07] casual: then i dunno; should ask someone familiar with encrypted partitions... i do not use them [12:07] EgoDeus1: depends on you machine and config [12:07] like hours?

When i execute "sudo lshw -C disk" i can see it and it has been given a logical name and everything, but i cant browse it in nautilus.

[12:18] ok no problem [12:18] Shvonder, I assume because empathy can do IRC and they needed to reduce space to fit gwibber on the CD. xchat is only an apt-get away [12:19] geekphreak: by mount it you mean go to local and choose the disk where the ubuntu is instaled.

Their docs use the "xml" command, you just replace "xml" with "xmlstarlet" [12:21] it's the install exe for Zmud, a MUD client. I know people have gotten it to run on linux through wine before...

Alternatively just run "sh " === triton is now known as SpandexDude [13:30] thanks everyone [13:30] fbxxkl: dont install java [13:30] Tesssa: sorry if I wasn't much of help [13:30] im not [13:30] although why shouldn't I? [13:30] fbxxkl: just kidding [13:30] jrib, There used to be a default root account located in Users and Groups. By changing the password you used to be able to access it. There are some instances where sudo does not understand how to pass a command. For this I wish to have root available. I could make another user with admin rights but I find it highly unlikely that root doesn't already exist. [13:30] fbxxkl: running random .sh files is a great way to break your system [13:31] silvernode: root exists. But you don't need it. Just use sudo [13:31] its for xdvdshrink [13:31] silvernode: add user to the sudo group ?

[13:33] Jrib, I have come across some programs in the past that sudo will not recognize. I am not at all a beginner at Linux. All I wish is the answer to my question. Sudo is not what I want. Is there a way to change th password for the already existing root account? or will I have to make a user with admin rights?

[13:34] mr_boo, sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [13:34] zvacet, didn't work [13:34] mr_boo: you better use your package manager to install [13:35] Hi all. Does anyone know how to access the Grub console and start Ubuntu verbose from there? [13:35] silvernode: why would making a user with admin rights help you? Anyway, I am telling you that for whatever reason you *think* you need a root account, you do not. If you want to actually learn as to why this is, you can tell me your reasons, and I'll try to tell you how you would do it with sudo. If you want to ignore me and think I don't know what I am talking about, yet still want help from me, well...

OK then. Thanks. I'm looking for the CSS::DOM module, but I don't even know if it's part of a package. If it is, I'd rather use that than CPAN...

Does anyone know how to start Ubuntu verbose/debug mode from within the grub console?

[13:45] mr_boo: Even if .mozilla exists, plugins doesn't exist by default. [13:45] silvernode: this isn't some magical secret invocation. This is standard usage of a basic command. If you aren't comfortable with this, I seriously recommend you learn more about sudo [13:46] distress, the .mozilla folder exists [13:46] mr_boo: then create the dir by mkdir -p ~./mozilla/plugins [13:46] pranav: sudo tasksel install kubuntu-desktop [13:47] hi all ... how could I set the cpu scaling policy to 'ondemand' by default ?

I have an ubuntu disk from back when they were sending them out free (9.04), and tried installing it on my laptop. Everything seemed to work fine and it connected to the wireless Internet great, but the problem came when I tried to upgrade to 9.10 from there. I admittedly restarted my computer on accident during mid-installation while it was updating, but once it was fully rebooted, I believe it r [13:47] Sorry for the wall of text, but there's my problem. [13:47] now flash works but there is no sound [13:48] mr_boo: you can also make a link in ~/.mozilla to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ [13:48] mr_boo: set you mixer [13:48] mr_boo: UP the volume [13:48] So... as mentioned, I killed my X in some way [13:48] distress, no PCM signal at all [13:48] anybody ?

[13:49] silv3r_m00n, why the alternate cd ? do not use it, use the uuntu cd to upgrade. [13:49] distress, yes [13:49] hi guys... I have a problem with php5-cli... the output is not sent to the shell... php test.php ... nothing, when I pipe the output to a file it shows up just fine though ( php test.php > test.log ) [13:50] c/ubuntu [13:50] pranav: no it will not you can choose witch desktop you want to use [13:50] jrib, Excuse my wild assumptions kind sir. I am not debating whether or not you are correct. I simply have not used Ubuntu in awhile so sudo is not something I have used in a long while. Although maybe I should listen to you and start. Thank you for providing your logical and simple thinking. [13:50] anyone know how to change the primary monitor in ubuntu 10.04? [13:51] consult xorg.conf manual [13:51] Oer: alternate cd is for upgrades ( and other thing too,but...) [13:51] pranav: do you want just kde [13:51] distress, will flash always attempt to use pulseaudio? [13:52] zvacet then you get these errors, strange thinking to use an other version to upgrade. [13:52] when upgrading from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 using the alternative cd , I get this error >> http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/4171/errortv.jpg , how do I fix it ? [13:52] Is there a way to upgrade from 9.04 directly to 10.04? [13:52] mr_boo: dont know about pulseaudio sorry [13:53] Oer: I never get errors upgrading with alternate CD but I can not help OP [13:53] does anyone know if it's possible to have different color calibration profiles when connected to a monitor? ie - one for my laptop and one for the external [13:53] distress, do you know if it is possible to configure sound in flash? [13:53] ANY help on this would be awesome! [13:53] mr_boo: it should work with alsa [13:53] silv3r_m00n, trry: sudo aptitude updage && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade in a konsole. [13:53] silvernode: basically, most people's complaint about sudo is that they don't like to type sudo before each command (with « sudo -i » you basically get a root shell where all commands are ran with superuser privileges). There's nothing wrong with using root, there's just no advantage to doing it. And often, people believe it's "better" somehow mostly because they are unaware of what you can do with sudo. [13:53] silv3r_m00n, after that try to upgrade again [13:53] Feel free to explore both. You can set a root password with « sudo passwd root ». You can lock the root account again later with « sudo passwd -l » if you change your mind [13:53] JoshuaL: hmm let me do that [13:53] !root | jrib [13:53] jrib: 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 [13:53] mr_boo: if you dont have sound with flash then i doubt its a flash issue [13:54] DrDuck: Its not recommended, some people have been known to miss a version while upgrading, but its not always successfull, so its going to be safer and less likely to break doing both the 9.10 & 10.04 upgrades [13:54] hmm thought it was another msg, nevermind [13:54] JoshuaL: it shows linux kernel is being upgraded, so after this upgrade I shud try the alternate cd ? [13:54] thank you Sir zvacet , [13:54] mr_boo: its more like user rights thing or so but you said your sound is working ... [13:54] pranav: yw :) [13:54] silv3r_m00n, why not upgrade via the update manager? [13:54] my internet connection is slow [13:55] ah [13:55] that's why need to use the alternate cd [13:55] mr_boo: try to look for an error messge somewhere in your browser (error console) or system (var/log) [13:55] silv3r_m00n, never used the alternate cd, but yo might give it a new try afterwards :) (make sure you have to stable release) === alexfpms is now known as alexfpms_ [13:55] yes it's the 10.04 stable release [13:55] thanks JoshuaL I needed that message lol [13:56] h!

Apologies if I was harsh earlier regarding reading the man page [13:59] :)) halt [13:59] molfar: That is the CUI shell for Linux, [13:59] Lok: its way less typing :) [13:59] sry frxstrem :D tried to reburn the cd?

[14:02] I know the codename, dagnabit [14:02] pranav: Yes but that is given via that command. You can also use "sudo passwd root" in Terminal. [14:02] pici, i think he's referring to a process [14:02] Lok: if it does shutdown properly then its your GUI [14:02] There's a process in my ps. Name of "lucid".

I see the command line but I am not sure if anything is happening [14:03] Lok: well [14:03] ubuntuaddicted: I doubt that it is the problem too, because I later removed and recreated the partition on another place on the hard drive (moved from the space between 20 and 28 GB to the space between 0 and 10 GB), and it still stops at the exact same place - I have also not had any other problems with the hard drive itself, although I have had some problems when booting up from the LiveCD [14:03] As I mentioned (about 15 minutes ago), I managed to somehow kill my X, but that "lucid" process is still there [14:03] Lok: its the proper way to shutdown and its what should be used by KDE or GNOME [14:03] pranav, NetBeans 6.8 [14:03] How to format Pen Drive?

[15:21] ActionParsnip, I am asking in compiz, thought i'd check in here though since this channel is never dead [15:21] <_romeo_> wng-, what do mean by alway? [15:21] can I still get Python2.5 on Ubuntu? [15:21] <_romeo_> always* [15:21] _romeo_: whenever you start top it'll show both cores by default instead of you having to press 1 if you save it [15:21] <_romeo_> ok and how do we save it [15:22] <_romeo_> pressing q [15:22] hmw: xor.conf is obeyed if it exists, just copy the file in and restart the x server, should be ok [15:22] <_romeo_> pressing w [15:22] toastedmilk: i'd ask in both [15:22] ActionParsnip: the one from the live cd? [15:22] _romeo_: yea, W [15:22] hi all [15:22] ActionParsnip, a few actually responded in compiz, thanks for the help! [15:22] unop, I see.. so now my new CSV file just has the mobile number without Mobile in the line. how do i match a digit with grep? using \d doesn't work [15:22] hmw: if you are using the livecd you can copy over an archived xorg.conf and restart x, it will be used :) [15:23] toastedmilk: sweeeeet [15:23] ActionParsnip: rebooting. thanks meanwhile. [15:23] unop, nevermind, i just used [0-9] [15:23] luist, my treminator background is black by default - open properties to change the colour [15:23] <_romeo_> wng-, i pressed w but again next time it opened like b4 [15:23] <_romeo_> i had to press 1 [15:23] <_romeo_> :( [15:23] ActionParsnip: but it does no longer work from the live cd... !!! [15:23] _romeo_: did you press W and not w? [15:23] <_romeo_> ohh [15:24] <_romeo_> my mistake [15:24] it looks like 800x600 again... [15:24] hmw: then the xorg.conf file isnt right, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues [15:24] it should say something like saved to ~/.toprc [15:24] is there anyway I can match a digit without @ in the word too? grepping [0-9] will match both the phone number and emails that have digits [15:24] <_romeo_> wng-, thanks man u rock!!!!!!!!

There must be something stored in the GPU. They do that, i am 100.0% sure. i tested it with my radeon. they remember stuff.

There is a user who has the same make/model device and sounds quite happy, you could post on there to get a first hand experience od someone who actually has the keyboard with ubuntu to discuss the definite functionality of the device as the dude has one.

[15:40] nagchampa: I'd check the HCL, Logitech are notoriously bad with Linux support [15:40] nagchampa: therefore your best chance will be to google [15:40] man i love ubuntu and everything but i just can't get a good color profile going - can anyone help me out? [15:40] hmw glxinfo should show under opengl renderer [15:40] display profile* [15:40] nagchampa: absolutely [15:40] nagchampa: now go go away and be rude to someone else on a forum ;) [15:40] thunsucker: i've been googling for the last hour [15:40] ubuntitude, with lucid there is no xorg.conf needed [15:40] if you have nvidia, you can use nvidia-xconfig commandd to generate one [15:40] thansucker :D nice :) [15:40] thunsucker: so you think because there's little chance i'll get help here i shouldn't even try? [15:40] bert_: oh, really? Is there just a native command built in for touchpad orientation?

[15:43] i'll write my own driver if i have to :P [15:43] bert_: yes, since that seems to be the only way to modify the touchpad orientation that i've found [15:43] ubuntuaddicted: that gave me a window border and window buttons [15:43] it says mesa intel. xorg.log no EE, but: WW Falling back to old probe method for vesa, then fbdev. WW Disabling Xv because no adaptors could be initialized. Does that mean anything? There is nothing else wrong in the log, i think [15:43] One thing about Lucid that is driving me mad is that using main volume seems to do basically nothing until muted. I have to use individual app volumes, and before that my ears get blasted [15:43] geekphreak: no, autologin is not enabled [15:43] suncuigang: Hi, if you have a support question, just ask and someone will answer you if they know. [15:43] ubuntuaddicted: That is not what he said though. He said "when I log into ubuntu (9.10) I am getting a small white terminal, how can I determine why gnome won't start up properly" [15:43] (before I find the particular app) [15:43] hi all, how to play tscc coded vid such as this http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/tscc/oneminute.avi in 10.04? [15:43] ok my fault soreau [15:43] soreau: it's ubuntu desktop so X is started automatically at login [15:43] ubuntitude, try lspci | grep -i vga in a term to see what card do you have [15:44] Anyone else experiencing this, and is it peculiar to my admittedly crappy intel sound card? [15:44] thx [15:44] Hey all, I was doing the upgrade to the new LTS and now when it boots grub shows "unknown command: initrd" [15:44] c0: ok wanted to make sure you choosing right session type [15:44] Is the ASUS Ferrari One Ubuntu compatible? [15:44] c0: What happens exactly when X starts? [15:44] Soyo: depends on the hardware used === EdwinGrubbs_ is now known as EdwinGrubbs [15:44] Soyo: I'd imagine probably [15:44] h00k: hi bud [15:44] bert sry dunnot have nvidia possibility here.. [15:44] hi [15:44] it says mesa intel. xorg.log no EE, but: WW Falling back to old probe method for vesa, then fbdev. WW Disabling Xv because no adaptors could be initialized. Does that mean anything? There is nothing else wrong in the log, i think ActionParsnip [15:44] Soyo: like the exact chips used [15:44] hey, geekphreak [15:45] Hrm I get an error : "SystemError: installArchives() failed" when attempting to activate the BCM B43 wireless driver, following the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx Under "Installing b43/STA hybrid drivers" subsection "No Internet Access" [15:45] bert_: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [15:45] ubuntuaddicted, ok np :) === NoX is now known as Guest29044 [15:45] soreau: I type in my password to login and then a small white terminal appears in the top left hand of the screen [15:45] bert_: so no Nvidia for me [15:45] AMD M780G [15:45] hmw: i'd check your xorg.conf dude, you wil probably be able to get away with leaving resolutions out of the screen section if you define the driver and monitor refresh rates etc [15:46] Soyo: like the exact wireless chip and the exact sound chip used, that sort of thing [15:46] c0: when did this start happeneing, did you upgrade or something? [15:46] so anyone out there that got the tethering with bluetooth working under lucid 10.04? [15:46] how to play tscc coded vid such as this http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/tscc/oneminute.avi in 10.04? [15:46] I have question : I'm on ubuntu server 10.04. It connect to the internet automatically but after some time, the connexion is lost [15:47] how can I do to stay online [15:47] geekphreak: it started happening this morning, the only thing system change I made yesterday was to remove evolution [15:47] ? [15:47] ActionParsnip: we already tried that without success. It worked without that in the beginning. I remain puzzled. Thanks for your help though. [15:47] Guest29044: when it drops, run: dmesg | tail [15:47] hmw: strange stuff dude === Guest29044 is now known as Siantoine [15:47] Nevermind, closing Synnaptic fixes the "SystemError: installArchives() failed" error. [15:47] geekphreak: I reinstalled it now, but it didn't help [15:47] c0: if you press alt+f2 >> any run pops up? [15:47] Siantoine: and also check /var/log/syslog [15:47] can anyone help me with my network manager problem? [15:48] indeed. as i stated some days before: i am cursed. people do not want to believe me, but I have to believe myself ;-) [15:48] causal: what's the problem? [15:48] hi all, how to play tscc coded vid such as this http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/V-codecs/tscc/tscc.avi in 10.04? [15:48] causual: what's the problem? [15:48] ubuntitude, it's not appearing [15:48] i get such strange problems often in the last time... cursed. full moon. bad karma waves. [15:48] geekphreak: no [15:48] c0: can you open terminal anything? [15:48] Acer InviLink 802.11a/b/g/Draft-N Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Not sure the sound... [15:48] causual: strange. Are you trying to connect to wireless or something? [15:49] anyone else having trouble connecting to msn with empathy after the latest update? [15:49] ubuntitude, yes [15:49] Soyo: doesnt say much, you need to know the chip, you could email them [15:49] causual: okay. Do you have the greyed out wireless bars visible in the upper right of your screen? [15:49] geekphreak: I can launch gnome-terminal but it also goes to the top left corner of my screen as there is no window manager running [15:50] ubuntitude, no, btw this is 10.04 [15:50] ActionParsnip & nibbier : I will see it but I'm not sure I can resolve it by this way... I'm not very used to Linux [15:50] c0: what happens when yoy type gnome-session or gnome-panel anything? [15:50] causual: yeah, i have lucid as well. Hmm...I had the same issues when i first started using ubuntu as well. [15:50] ActionParsnip & nibbier : thx [15:50] ubuntitude, how did you fix it? [15:50] geekphreak: if I type in metacity --replace I get window borders and can move the terminal windows around the screen [15:50] Siantoine: well, there is 138423 reasons for an network (internet) connection to drop, without log entries or such... no way of diagnosing [15:51] causual: uh, one second, let me try to find the website i used [15:51] hi, gdm doesn't get me into the gnome-session. but kdm does, any ideas? (after upgrade to lucid) [15:52] causual: here, try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html [15:52] what about 3d effect in sis chipset? [15:52] nebo: sounds odd [15:52] causual: once you run the lshw.... command, give me the results [15:52] c0: dont actually think evolution would have caused it ummm [15:53] geekphreak: will try gnome-panel in a second, rebooting [15:53] ok [15:53] coltox, yes it is... startxfce without gdm/kdm oder xdm works too [15:53] so its not a x bug, i guess [15:53] does anyone know how to rotate touchpad input orientation on a non-Nvidia platform? [15:53] what do i have to do to be able to play zynga poker on facebook, i have already updated adobe flash, the frames show up now but the game room and the friend lists don't [15:54] nebo: what graphic chipset do you have?

[15:55] geekphreak: I tried gnome-session. it loads my background and gives me output about my screenlets, but no windows actually show up [15:55] and the panels don't appear [15:56] bert_: not a bad res [15:56] coltox, its just back in gdm again [15:56] c0: hmm ok [15:56] Hi all, i dunno how to let my geforce8400 pass the audio signal trought the HDMI to my tv, any tips?

[15:57] nebo: nothing, it will start the same, you will have qt libs installed on the gnome desktop system to make kdm run [15:58] ActionParsnip: the problem is that gdm is not working and kdm does :/ [15:58] ActionParsnip: it was better first [15:58] ActionParsnip, kdm works. it starts gnome, but gdm does not. [15:58] coltox: thats fine, use kdm [15:58] ;o) [15:59] geekphreak: i think possibly some gnome python binding might be missing all the screenles can't do win.propert_get it's saying can't get a window manager [15:59] now it isn't 800x600 nor 1024x768 :( [15:59] Mornings!

One often see CC as an environment variable for the compiler. You would usually just define which compiler you want in your Makefile. [16:07] Ddorda: ubuntu-netbook-remix (source: netbook-meta): Transitional package for the Ubuntu Netbook system. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.024 (lucid), package size 31 kB, installed size 60 kB [16:07] Anyway...

[16:08] geekphreak: that's for debugging that with me, I appreciate it. that was wierd. [16:08] weird* [16:08] c0: welcome [16:08] it's #ubuntu-fr the french chan ?

[16:09] :-7 [16:09] thank you [16:09] vanscot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:09] Lok, If you are using make with Makefile, you can type makefile -p to print out make's database of rules and variable values. There is also makefile -d to see what make is doing in deciding what rules/commands need to be run. [16:10] oops... make -p and make -d [16:10] So sad, the only reply I got was a flood control bot. [16:10] vanscot, ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [16:10] ActionParsnip: i got the add-on and used the command line you gave me. no change, still have frames for the lists, but no actual lists.

[16:11] there's no way [16:11] cschamber: can you give the pastebin of the output of the command, the command i give doesnt change anything on your system. It only lists some packages [16:12] How do I change the default size of a gnome-terminal window?

Functionality needs to be *added* to profile management in gnome-terminal, not *removed* [16:13] haavaros: yeah, profile settings and there you can change it. [16:14] Removed? [16:14] karma_police: what is tis bug people rattle on about. I havent had a single hitch except plymouth not showing (which I am not bothered about) [16:14] im new in ubuntu [16:14] I see it right now...

[16:24] melrokz: Correct, the server install does not have a GUI [16:24] It doesnt? :O [16:24] thanks pici [16:24] ack! [16:24] melrokz, you can add a gui, but most servers don't tend to need a GUI [16:24] melrokz:you can install one [16:24] akx8: One possibility would be to extract the files from the ISO and put them in to the spare partition. Make sure to preserve the directory structure. I'm not sure how you would tell Ubuntu's install to look at the spare partition though for its files. [16:24] invisibleprison: so if you connect to a server you have to get its key first === sarah is now known as Guest26556 [16:25] no, not the install, the installed server! No GUI!

[16:25] yeah if you copy that its the most easy workaround [16:25] you actually have to copy the key with xauth over the network [16:25] melrokz: Thats what I was talking about. Ubuntu Server has no GUI, only command line. [16:26] distress, do I copy it over my own .Xauthority?

[16:28] man i never get this sound stuff right [16:28] Hello all... anyone have expertise with keyboard layouts? I've got a minor conflict between KDE and a Gtk program... [16:28] geekphreak: I just check Synaptic and discovered there is an indicator-sound package. [16:28] ManDay: welcome to the club :-p [16:29] distress, I'm not wanting to forward X, I want to run a command on a remote computer and have it open it on that remote computer [16:29] ManDay: You know how they said they got rid of HAL? Well, it was still installed on my computer, so I figured I could remove it... Bad idea. [16:29] If Im on 10.4 and have php 5.3.2 with suhosin patch 0.9.29 how can I update the suhosin patch to 0.9.31? It fixes a lot of the 5.x branch bugs and this seems fitting for ubuntu to keep updated since its security/segfault fixes, but yer no updates :( [16:29] ManDay, I'm also fighting a sound problem. Seems like was much simpler before PulseAudio. [16:29] invisibleprison: i think you can use: DISPLAY 0.0 command [16:29] Plugh: i think its installed by default [16:30] invisibleprison: to run a remote command u use ssh, to have it open up a graphical application you want to forward that app to your local X server for which you need to set xauthorization [16:30] IsmAvatar, LOL @ the hal thing [16:30] invisibleprison: i foget the exact syntax but its something to do with the DISPLAY bit [16:30] thats awful [16:30] geekphreak: It might be on a fresh install but it wasn't installed on my machine. I have installed it now. [16:30] yeah export DISPLAY=:0 is done by ssh -X [16:30] ActionParsnip, I tried export DISPLAY=:0 (which worked with localhost, but not a remote host) [16:30] Plugh: custom install? [16:31] distress, as I said, I DO NOT want it to forward. That is the opposite of what I want. [16:31] invisibleprison: i see, try a different display number is all i can suggest [16:31] What's the default font of gnome terminal ? [16:31] geekphreak: Not exactly. Upgrade from 9.10 [16:31] invisibleprison: then its a non option afaik [16:31] ok [16:31] IsmAvatar, i guess i should have learned by now that you better remove nothing from the vanilla ubuntu - no matter how bloated it is. if you remove minesweeper the keyring might stop functioning out of the sudden [16:31] Pip: terminal is te font name too [16:31] invisibleprison: or you run 2 X servers [16:31] geekphreak: I do get rid of some stuff I don't need (like Evolution) [16:31] ActionParsnip, would it be a permissions issue? [16:31] no its an xauth issue [16:31] invisibleprison: try the command with sudo [16:31] does any one have the shell script to display first 100 number of the fibonacci sequence [16:32] Plugh: that can cause issue sometime, but hey you can always try to reset panels [16:32] ManDay: not seen that, i rip the guts out of a fresh install [16:32] Plugh? may I ask some more questions? [16:32] I'm sure I've removed Evolution in 9.10 and About me still worked but it seems part of it is needed for About Me to work. Not that I need About Me. [16:32] ActionParsnip, terminal ? [16:32] akx8: that sounds incredibly useful [16:32] distress, ActionParsnip: This is what I am essentially wanting to do: http://www.lamolabs.org/blog/2708/one-liner-getting-remote-desktop-sharing-compiz-to-play-nice-under-ubuntu-9-04-with-gnome/ [16:32] Pip: yeah i believe the font is terminal, let me check [16:32] Lok, ask.

I am also unable to boot the 10.04 CDROM on this machine (black screen after showing the Ubuntu logo).

In my case, the system is an Acer Travelmate 2300 [16:41] llutz: :) [16:41] BiggFREE_: dpkg does the work after apt-get does its trick, you use dpkg to manually install individual files [16:41] If Im on 10.4 and have php 5.3.2 with suhosin patch 0.9.29 how can I update the suhosin patch to 0.9.31? It fixes a lot of the 5.x branch bugs and this seems fitting for ubuntu to keep updated since its security/segfault fixes, but yer no updates :( [16:41] I will read man dpkg [16:41] Mean_Admin, make sure that there are networks available. sudo iwlist scan [16:41] err, ManDay ^ [16:41] invisibleprison: then if you ssh without the -X option it should work [16:41] Hi am from kanchi LUG Ubuntu 9.10 & 10.04 is hanged after logging please give solution for me [16:42] ActionParsnip: sigh, now which god forsaken config I must edit to get rid of them?

I tried to use && as well, and that didn't work either. [16:46] geekphreak, yes, i had the top for programs and was using docky for the bottom [16:46] I want to print the manual. Who will supply ink for my printer? *giggle* [16:46] lol [16:46] ActionParsnip, nice. I'll have to give that a try. "I see you..." ;-D [16:46] For what Staples wants, I could buy a thick book... from Barnes and Noble. [16:46] Hi guys. I need solution [16:46] ubuntitude: if a shell script doesn't work, that suggests to me that it's either not capable of running what you input at all, or you did the shell script wrong. [16:47] ManDay: you can uninstall the ubuntu documentation too, saves 250Mb [16:47] mdisieno: you can try to reset them [16:47] Hi, have rights, by default, a ubuntu user to create a chroot jail? [16:47] ubuntitude: make sure the shell script has appropriate permissions - especially execute permissions [16:47] geekphreak, how do i go about that, is there a config file i can delete?

[17:08] hi, is there a way to see what ip's are trying to ssh you or have tried to? [17:08] geekphreak, I thought perhaps, but wasn't sure since you had mentioned something. [17:08] oh. also I had no audio whatsoever on upgrade, but that was solved by going into alsamixer and unmuting some channels pulse had muted [17:08] came to the "Official Support Channel" looking for support...can no one say hello, or refer me somewhere else? [17:08] GeekSquid, U dont have system-preferences-sound [17:08] AryanA: check /var/log/auth.log [17:08] AryanA: iptraf is good application for that [17:08] my tentative theory is pulse is using the wrong channels, something is just screwed up there. like, it seems that one of the other channels is being used, instead of main. [17:08] tnx === lyndon_ is now known as imanc [17:09] and the slider on main basically does nothing [17:09] shane2peru: i do aplogize [17:09] the per app one only works 'cause that is pre-output [17:09] ManDay: I don't?

[17:10] shane2peru: its wierd it does tell you partition type , no worries [17:10] GeekSquid, i just removed the sound package too [17:10] maybe that helps .D [17:10] geekphreak, right, it is 83, which doesn't mean much to me. :) [17:11] shane2peru: sorry late reply, to get a filesystem, use "blkid" [17:11] <.< [17:11] IsmAvatar: well, I'm slowly working through my apps, so ear blasting is becoming less [17:11] IsmAvatar: I guess I can mute the sound before launching any app [17:11] shane2peru: on it right side under system, it tell you type too :p [17:11] then go to prefs and reduce it. [17:11] Anyone getting problem where sometimes you boot up and your NTFS driver aren't visible in nautilus? and yet other times they are there and mountable?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:21] Anyone here a thunderbird user? Running my messages filters does nothing now, just wondering if it's a common issue [17:21] Flare-Laptop: sorry ;p [17:21] if anyone wanna to install flash to watch videos can use GNASH and TOTEM ( totem /tmp/flash*) [17:21] QueNon: np :P [17:21] Ok, maybe its no band-ait - what does a white X on a directory-icon imply in nautilus? [17:22] ah [17:22] unreadable.. [17:22] DAMN IT [17:22] !enter | manday [17:22] manday: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:22] ManDay: means that root can read it you can' [17:22] can't* [17:22] my problem is that all my vids and sounds in all applications are in max speed,and without sound [17:22] ManDay: no permissions, gksudo nautilus [17:22] Is there a way, aside from mounting a filesystem read-only, to disallow the root user from being able to write to a filesystem? [17:22] Flare-Laptop, I very much hope so [17:22] if that data is corruped ill go all nuts [17:22] djssupp: root user? [17:22] lol'd [17:22] root. [17:23] hey guys! quick question: My Ubuntu machine shows up to windows users in our workgroup as "compname (ubuntu, linux server)" how do i remove the "(ubuntu, linux server)" from the machine name? [17:23] did a update fix ppl 's wireless disconnecting in 10.04? [17:23] !details | stopsign [17:23] stopsign: 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 ..." === skizorager_ is now known as Skizorager [17:23] I'm testing a program, and one test point is ability to write to a filesystem. [17:23] How can I change my wallet password? [17:23] kong_: Yeah but you'll have to edit your smb config [17:23] hello there. I'm on ubuntu 9.1, I've moved all data from one hard disk to another, and now this disk won't boot (because of different UUIDs for the hard disks). How do I find the current UUID for a hard disk? [17:24] can anyone help me? [17:24] Flare-Laptop, ok ill look in smb.config thanks!! [17:24] I believe you mean 9.10 [17:24] wildman: "sudo blkid" [17:24] kong_: when you type hostname, in terminal what do you see [17:24] kong_: np :) [17:24] and when the program executes as root, it can write to whichever path I point it to. [17:24] llutz: thx [17:24] kong_: no its in his samba's config, samba adds the stuff in the () [17:24] QueNon: What's your sound card [17:25] lspci to see it :) [17:25] llutz: so, just changing the uuid in grub's config will do? or will I have to reinstall grub too? (grub started to boot, but stopped stating it couldn't find a device with the uuid - which was expected cuz this disk is different) [17:25] anonymouse_: don't know,what is the command to know that? [17:25] wildman: should do, check /etc/fstab too [17:25] QueNon: lspci [17:25] llutz: rite, thx [17:25] Anyone here having trouble getting audio input to work with skype and pulseaudio on 10.04? I just upgraded with a clean install and now the builtin mic on my laptop won't work with skype. I can do the test call but it won't hear my voice. However I can record into audacity with the same mic. [17:26] QueNon: sudo lspci [17:26] Will i have to reinstall ubuntu if i upgrade my cpu from Pentium dual to core 2 duo? [17:26] Is there anyone from MOTU team ? [17:26] lspci | grep audio [17:26] yes, sorry [17:26] djssupp: in what context? root can effectively do whatever they want, pushing random bits to hardware any way it likes... even mounting-read-only doesn't stop root from changing the mount mode... what is it exactly you're trying to do? [17:26] CytotoxicTCell: no [17:26] alket: Try #ubuntu-motu [17:26] or... sudo su and after, lspci:) [17:26] do you even need to sudo to use lspci? [17:26] yes [17:26] not for me [17:26] pere, dont recommend that here [17:26] pere: not really [17:26] rister: I know they had some people in here last night trying to figure that out too......don't know what ever came out of it though [17:26] IsmAvatar: not for me either [17:26] thanks pici [17:26] IsmAvatar, no you dont need it [17:27] because lspci read some /proc/ files :) === root is now known as Guest79644 [17:27] hi [17:27] * Flare-Laptop knows better [17:27] hi:) [17:27] djssupp: by default, root can write anywhere on the filesystem, which is why it is not reccomended to run programs as root, obviously your program needs to be able to write "somewhere" but not everywhere, so make sure the paths that it needs to write to are owned by the user from which it is to be run, and you'll be running the program the reccomended way [17:27] pere: which are user-readable [17:27] i search how to inatall vlc [17:27] ok, anonymouse_ ,it's a Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) [17:27] *an [17:27] atrus: doing some qa testing of a utility one of my devs put together. One requirement is throw an error when a target filesystem is not writable, but the backup program is meant to be rn as root. [17:27] i have a slight issue with a shell script i'm trying to use: i found it on the ubuntu forums, but it's not working... anyone mind taking a look at it? [17:28] I can help you... but only a person... tell me:) [17:28] !who | poloyc [17:28] poloyc: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:28] poloyc: oops, sorry. [17:28] ubuntitude: pastebin :D [17:28] wildman: so, you should have to change /tec/default/grub and /etc/fstab, then run 'sudo update-grub', that should be it. [17:28] i think. [17:28] pere: Please prefix your replies with the person who you are talking to, otherwise they won't realize you're trying to reply to them. [17:28] QueNon: okay, what do you mean that your applications are in max speed, please explain further [17:28] Hi, is anybody available to help me with a partition problem? [17:28] yes me! [17:28] GeekSquid, atrus: Thanks for the input. I thin I have to talk to my dev to see if the script _needs_ to be run as root. [17:28] !ask | rivet_ [17:28] rivet_: 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. :-) [17:29] What do you want rivet? [17:29] none of my players is able to play wma-files. the medibuntu-packs, w64codecs, ubuntu-restricted-extras and gstreamer-ugly are all installed. what might be the reason for the disability? [17:29] RIVET¿? [17:29] is there any way to select packages to not install when setting up ubuntu? [17:29] atrus: there's no reference to the UUID in /etc/default/grub :) [17:29] fasp: not even vlc? [17:29] atrus: anyway, thx for your help ;) [17:29] I have an exclamation mark by one of my partitions in GParted [17:29] Flame-Laptop: http://pastebin.com/KnXLk2Nd [17:29] I run Mint, not Ubuntu, but things should be relatively the same I think [17:29] QueNon: all vids and sounds are in speed max,like five second passed in an only second,and sounds are not played [17:29] upload to imagemagick or some server [17:29] tell me the link to see exacly:) [17:30] vbundi: Yes, there are a few ways. [17:30] Arf :/ [17:30] !mint > rivet_ [17:30] rivet_, please see my private message [17:30] anonymouse_: all vids and sounds are in speed max,like five second passed in an only second,and sounds are not played [17:30] ubuntitude: I see it, but like all it does is tell some commands to xrandr [17:30] fasp: tried vlc? [17:30] geekphreak: vlc plays without the sound, all other players show an error message: "The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported." [17:31] wildman: what was the actual error you had? if the uuid isn't et /etc/default/grub, my thinking is that it was actually booting linux okay, in which case linux got confused partway through booting because /etc/fstab was wrong [17:31] Vigo: is it right in the graphical installer or do you have to do some hacking? [17:31] fasp: drm issues perhaps i think [17:31] geekphreak: so vlc doesnt work either [17:31] Pici: would drm cause error like that ? [17:31] are you here rivet_? [17:31] Flame-Laptop: basically all i'm trying to do is get the system to run synclient Orientation=x whenever xrandr -o xxxxxx is run. [17:31] geekphreak: it might [17:32] pere: rivet_ is using mint, which is unsupported here. [17:32] Yes, I'm here, still [17:32] OKs [17:32] what do you want? [17:32] !mintsupport | rivet_ pere [17:32] rivet_ pere: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [17:32] I'm pretty sure that GParted should run the same, though, right? [17:32] vbundi: I am looking up the page now, most times the Alternate Install CD does that, I think the net install also does it, easier. [17:32] fasp: its windows drm , right managment thing, :) [17:32] QueNon: Try downloading VLC and play a video file and tell me if it's the same, maybe it's a totem (gstreamer) problem [17:32] ubuntitude: yeah and I think your doing it right. I think lol [17:32] geekphreak: do you know a solution? [17:32] ubuntu 10.04 + gigabayte U8000? [17:32] fasp: nope afaik [17:33] the same that... what*-)? [17:33] geekphreak: I'm sure it would have something to do.....There are programs to break DRM.....(don't know names off the top of my head though) [17:33] Flare-Laptop when i run the xrandr commands, they work, but the associated synclient command isn't getting run. [17:33] dbum: not this room to discuss that :) [17:33] Vigo: alright. thanks I was just curious, I'll check it out [17:33] k [17:33] it worked on jauny one week ago [17:33] ubuntitude: then you've got something wrong with your config [17:33] vbundi: Here is one way:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization [17:34] or something like that [17:34] atrus: I've rsynced content from one partition on one disk (working fine) to a new partition on a new disk (bigger). I've then tried to boot and of course, since both were different, it didn't boot [17:34] Hi all, i dunno how to let my geforce8400 pass the audio signal trought the HDMI to my tv, any tips? I can't also raise upe IEC958 from alsamixer (is unmuted) [17:34] anonymouse_: i'm using VLC [17:34] hey guys trying to watch a vid in wmv and getting this error: video/x-asf-unknown decoder actual link: http://labs.idefense.com/software/download/?downloadID=19 [17:34] wildman: right, but what was the error message you got? [17:34] anonymouse_: and it doesn't works,and in firefox no more [17:34] atrus: I've edited the grub entry and put /dev/sda1 instead of the uuid of the old disk, and here I am, booted fine with all my system+data as it was in the other disk [17:34] atrus: now I want to make that fix 'permanent' so next reboot I won't have to do that thing by hand again [17:34] geekphreak: my black screen on boot issue seems to be X. When I boot to recovery mode, I can boot it to a point where I can login through a console. As soon as I "startx" screen goes black and hangs. Is there a way to reconfigure X from that point? [17:35] wildman: "it didn't boot" could mean hundreds of different things :) === jexmex_ is now known as jexmex [17:35] vbundi: and here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [17:35] anyone around who knows the equivalent command for "Safely Remove"? [17:35] atrus: cannot remember the exact one, but it was something about it couldn't find the device uuid, which is expected cuz this disk is not the other [17:35] delac: unmount [17:35] geekphreak: hang on, i'll google. [17:35] atrus: so, I've changed the line to say /dev/sda1 (non-permanent change) and it booted, here I am [17:35] Flame-Laptop: know of any way to remedy it? I've tried running a string of commands through the keyboard shortcut app, but it doesn't like multiple commands. All im trying to do is make my touchpad rotate relative to my screen. [17:35] Flare-Laptop: it doesnt power down the device... [17:36] wildman: i need the exact error message before I could even make a guess. [17:36] delac: doesn't matter [17:36] KaiForce: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [17:36] Flare-Laptop: in my case it does [17:36] wildman: ideally with a line or 2 preceeding it as well. [17:36] ubuntitude: I'm not sure [17:36] delac: o.O Why? [17:36] Flare-Laptop: need to get rid of the icon in the menus too [17:36] geekphreak: sounds familiar, i will try. thanks! [17:36] atrus: I've already made some changes with the new uuid... [17:36] <_pg__> is there a mactel channel for ubuntu? [17:36] djbeenie_: a workaround for your link is to use wget. i dont know the actual solution. [17:36] atrus: next time it should reboot fine, w/o errors :) [17:36] KaiForce: you will have to restart x [17:36] delac: lol just unplug it, then the icon will go poof :P [17:37] atrus: if it doesn't I'll be back here and will let you know ;) [17:37] DrMrHorse, I still cant play it [17:37] QueNon: has it worked before? I've had that same problem (timer running too fast + no sound) and I had to reinstall Ubuntu :( === eric is now known as Guest835 [17:37] xbox [17:37] <_pg__> any mac users here suffering from the upgrade to Lucid? is there a mactel channel? [17:37] hi, how do i config TOR to work as node but not to as exit-node? [17:37] <_pg__> orson: #tor [17:37] _pg__: you still working with it [17:37] djbeenie_: im getting audio but no video on vlc [17:37] anonymouse_: it had work after,and on ubuntu 10.04 [17:38] orson: change /etc/tor/torrc to "ExitPolicy reject *:*" [17:38] Flare-Laptop: I still actually need the device. It's Huawei 3G stick, and the drive I want to remove is the emulated CD that has the windows drivers. [17:38] vbundi: I still like the way Debian is set up like that by default, so Ubuntu is able to do it also, is very much like a net install, but you can graphically select which packages, alternately one can do a Minimal Install, then add what they want as they want. [17:38] does anyone here know if it is possible to have an 3d accelerated 32bit guest system on a 64bit host Virtualbox? [17:38] <_pg__> geekphreak: haha yes. I found a 5 page post in the forums about it. it seems lots of people that use macs or have multiple hdds are having similar problems. most of them just reinstalled everything. i really dont want to do that. [17:38] Flare-Laptop: and all this should happend automatically [17:38] does anyone know if it's possible to assign multiple commands to one keyboard shortcut? [17:38] djbeenie_: it works in my mplayer from the command line [17:38] <_pg__> geekphreak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9249066&posted=1#post9249066 (im the last post) [17:38] Hi all, i dunno how to let my geforce8400 pass the audio signal trought the HDMI to my tv, any tips (with aplay -l i can't see any NVidia sound card? [17:38] hi [17:39] is asoundconf not part of the ubuntu repos? [17:39] _pg__: fair enough, hard to belive, an upgrade would mess up filesystem type :) [17:39] cant find it :/ [17:39] delac: stuff like that doesn't work on linux :/ [17:39] i have an 64bit ubuntu 10.04 running and seen a youtube video with someone having 3D support on a windowsXP guest. here everytime i try it the 3D app crashes [17:39] lun4tic: what are you using virtualbox? [17:39] does anyone here know if Clonezilla/DRBL work with Lucid? [17:39] <_pg__> geekphreak: i dont know if thats what is messed up I think grub is just botched. but i cant reinstall grub no matter what i try so why knows [17:39] <_pg__> geekphreak: why/who [17:40] etsorbme8: does clonezilla support ext4? [17:40] Flare-Laptop: what doesnt? There is the "Safely Remove" command in the right click menu that does shut down the device for good. [17:40] histo: clonezilla has live cd to backup [17:40] geekphreak: I know what it is [17:40] QueNon: I tried looking and asking for a solution for a week, I had to reinstall Ubuntu in the end :( [17:40] histo: yes [17:40] delac: emulated CD drives [17:40] they don't work [17:40] Flare-Laptop: but I want the command line equivalent [17:40] histo; not sure? [17:40] histo: the standard version from ubuntu 10.04 [17:40] QueNon: Sorry, I can't help you [17:40] 64bit [17:40] _pg__: nope , aint grub, grub needs a / to work with , did not see any nix partition , only windows/mac [17:40] lun4tic: ahh you may need the non ose version [17:40] lun4tic: and you ahve to have guest additions installed [17:41] but i've seen videos where they installed the OSE [17:41] anonymouse_: arf :/ but thanks ;p [17:41] lun4tic: there is #virtualbox channel around somewhere also [17:41] histo: well i am glad you do :) [17:41] anyone else? [17:41] I'm having a port-security or other related issue and I'm seeing no errors why that interface is not working. Interface is up/up with port-security (dynamic). [17:41] histo: yes even with 3d and in windows safe mode [17:41] lun4tic: you may want ot ask there. [17:41] Flare-Laptop: Well I dont exactly know what it is, but it is mounted as CD, but it definitely ain't one. [17:41] histo: #vbox [17:41] <_pg__> geekphreak: ive had so many people try to help me I dont remember how far we got, but in that post its pretty well explained. my ubuntu partition is definately there [17:41] geekphreak: well why areyou telling me its for cloning disks then? [17:41] histo: driver signature stuff disabled so windows wont argue about replacing system files [17:41] delac: then it won't work then :/ [17:41] oops wrong channel [17:41] _pg__: i check your sudo fdisk -l and so did erUSUL , we did not see nix partition [17:41] lun4tic: #vbox may be of more assistance than anyone around here [17:41] Flare-Laptop: what doesn't work? [17:42] <_pg__> geekphreak: but gparted sees it, so it has to be there [17:42] delac: emulated CD drives [17:42] <_pg__> geekphreak: right? [17:42] etsorbme8: are you just trying to image a drive? [17:42] no? [17:42] _pg__: huh? [17:42] etsorbme8: it looks like it supprots ext4 on their site. [17:42] Hello, Yesterday I shut down my computer and restarted it today (10.04). Now when I get to gnome, it asks me to login, I enter password and it just does back to the login screen. Cant get to my desktop. any ideas? [17:42] Flare-Laptop: right. well, i still have something mounted that i want to power down. [17:42] i just upgraded to 10.04 and lost all system borders after a restart [17:43] like all window borders [17:43] help would be appreciated [17:43] _pg__: if i remember right from what i saw u had sda1 pbt, mac, other 2 were ntfs [17:43] lun4tic: did you enable it? http://maketecheasier.com/enable-3d-acceleration-in-virtualbox/2009/05/21 [17:44] <_pg__> geekphreak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9249066&posted=1#post9249066 is the map I made from what i see in gparted in a live cd [17:44] _pg__: wierd i tell you [17:44] <_pg__> geekphreak: i even see all my correct options when i ru update-grub [17:44] histo; i am currently running karmic DRBL server and trying to figure out if i should upgrade it to the lucid [17:44] cool!

[17:45] <_pg__> geekphreak: from a live cd. but i cant install grub. and when i --force it It says it installed but i get the same thing: symbol 'image_puts_' not found [17:45] airtonix: you cannot [17:45] <_pg__> geekphreak: im on the osx side atm. === davidp is now known as Guest18195 [17:45] llama_, or that you can even login to your own account via terminal ? [17:45] _pg__: oh ok [17:45] airtonix: I can via terminal, as well as any other user. Just not with gnome. [17:45] T.T nobody? [17:46] etsorbme8: ahh [17:46] llama_, what steps have you taken to try and remedy this ? [17:46] etsorbme8: let me check some things [17:46] quit [17:46] histo; okay, thanks [17:46] airtonix: I tried to recover corrupted packeges with the Rescue mode, and now im in a live CD, so I know my graphics work fine. [17:47] llama_, have you tried restarting gdm yet ? [17:47] airtonix: Ive restarted the computer 10x, same every time [17:47] hii... i was working with gnome shell and its a bit unstable [17:48] llama_, graphics card drivers used in the livecd are not exactly the same as what you might have setup on your install [17:48] airtonix: It prompts me for a password, which it is not supposed to do and then just comes back to the login page. [17:48] airtonix: I relize this, I was more checking for a hardware problem. [17:48] dbum: sure i did enable each end every damn checkbox that was labeled with "3D ..." [17:48] llama_, you mean after you login it asks again for a password ? [17:48] hola [17:49] Pici: you there? [17:49] airtonix: I click my username, enter password, the nvidia screen comes up, then a black one, then it shoots back to the login screen. If I enter a wrong password, it says authetification failed. [17:49] dbum: that is why i even ask if it is a 32/64 bit compatibility issue [17:49] geekphreak: what do you need? [17:49] i did exactly the same stuff all howtos tell me [17:49] llama_, and obvious question : what happens if you disable nvidia drivers ? [17:49] lun4tic: And your using OSE? cause the closed source ver. I find to be much more useful ..... I hear ya.... might be [17:49] how to enter to ubuntu spanish?? [17:50] etsorbme8: Did you set it up with third party repos or anything like hat? [17:50] hey guys are bash scripting questions kosher even if its not technically ubuntu-specific? [17:50] mneptok: needed to ask something [17:50] etsorbme8: like that [17:50] airtonix: havent tried that yet. [17:50] llama_: look in .xsession-errors .. it may have a hint as to why things are not working [17:50] mneptok: will it be ok if i pm ? [17:50] geekphreak: not at all a problem [17:50] llama_, also : try comparing ~/.profile on your install with ~/.profile on the livecd [17:50] enable 3D go to windows safe mode, install guest addons with 3D experimental checked restart and then you'll have happy happy joy joy 3D support [17:50] bs... doesn't work ^^ [17:51] CogitoErgoSam, #bash [17:51] lun4tic: I think you're missing the "experimental" part there [17:51] llama_: my guess would be that the nvidia driver is causing X to crash, I'd boot into recovery mode and run the xfix [17:51] CogitoErgoSam: #bash exists, but just ask and see what happens:) [17:51] lun4tic: and I would ask in #vobx [17:51] dbum: the guy from the yutube vid had the OSE from the software center [17:51] so i think it must be some 64bit issue [17:51] GeekSquid: OK great, il try it. [17:51] thanks airtonix, I'm new to the linux irc channels [17:51] lun4tic: #vbox [17:51] hi there.. why does the konsole not support shift+arrow or shift-delete for jumping/deleting whole words? [17:51] histo: yes. if there was someone inside whos not a bot XD [17:51] when I run 'update-grub' it says that it "cannot find list of partitions" - how do I fix this? [17:51] any php developer is there ? [17:52] lun4tic: I used OSE for like a day then realized you can't do half of the stuff as the closed source..... and there both free [17:52] frxstrem: are you running sudo update-grub?

Is there any way to create a file that can contain an automatically expanding encrytped filesystem that I can mount in my fs? I want to create such a file on a remote server so I can mount it locally. [17:52] no one can help me? [17:52] airtonix: .profile is the same.

Should I install another flash player somehow? [17:53] QueNon, what is problem ? [17:53] Hi @ all. I try to install the current ubuntu a few minutes ago, but at startup from CD there is a username/password-promt. Is that an error or what is expected there? [17:54] bastid_raZor: Here is the .xsession-errors http://pastie.org/948725 [17:54] hi guys... i would like to learn java... where the easiest place to start ??? [17:54] frxstrem: not sure how running in chroot is going to effect hardware access, technically you have to give access to chroot, guessing you'll have to edit grub files manually [17:54] IcHx: w3schools [17:54] jongleur1983: the LiveCD should not require a password. Try blank password. [17:54] while we're here... [17:55] hi there.. why does the konsole not support shift+arrow or shift+delete for jumping/deleting whole words?

[17:56] I've read about doing that with the dd-wrt firmware for my WRT54G router, and managed to make it work, but it was rather unstable... [17:56] IcHx: have you checked http://java.sun.com/ for any links to docs/tutorials [17:56] i don't need PHP channel [17:56] bastid_raZor: well I see it, but dont really understand it. I assume, once X is loaded it reads .profile? [17:56] how would i go about making a script start running when ubuntu boots up, and keep it running in the background the entire duration of the session? [17:56] so I've put a 2nd NIC on this Ubuntu machine (desktop), anyone has experience with load-balancing 2 Internet conns through 2 different NICs on the same machine?

[17:58] IcHx: Did you check the "Training" link on their menu? They have online classes & curriculum [17:58] wildman: I don't think you would be able to do that since it would require configuration on the ISP side. [17:58] DarkMasterHalo: how comes? which configuration? [17:58] ok thks... I'll check it now... [17:58] hidensoft: whats the connection to php there? [17:58] I can't copy an openoffice spreadsheet cell to a terminal emulator. Anyone know what could be the cause?

[17:59] wildman: Well, to do load balancing, you need to do it on both ends, in which case you can't. [17:59] dk0: Ctrl-Shift-C Ctrl-Shift-V [17:59] <_pg__> any mac users in here?

If I select the cell and copy (ctrl+c) and then paste (shift+ctrl+v) it won't work. I first have to double click on the cell and then ctrl+c and then shift+ctrl+v in the emulator.

I thought it said there [18:27] no username/no password don't work, root and empty pass don't work - no idea what to try [18:27] Jongleur: ok good so far.

[18:29] <_pg_> Jordan_U: hmmm I dont have a bios, only EFI :/ [18:29] <_pg_> Jordan_U: to make things MORE confusing lol [18:29] ActionParsnip: Alt+F1 don't work [18:29] caotic_: strange, gnome keyring doesn't have anything to do with svn [18:29] SealedWithAKiss: have you tried removing old kernels with 'dpkg' commands? [18:29] _pg_: Unless you are using grub-efi, grub is being loaded with BIOS compatability. [18:30] is there a way to make transmission download to my ntfs external hardrive ? [18:30] it just says permission denied.... [18:30] GeekSquid: right [18:30] What was that volume/sound related standard package again? [18:30] plitter: need to have write perm. [18:30] dkrider: the server install doesn't install an x server by default. This makes it lighter and more secure. If you need a desktop, install the desktop system [18:30] if I use user "ubuntu" and an empty pass as you said, the screen refreshes with a black screen in between, but the prompt appears again [18:30] (that i meant to install?) [18:30] ManDay: pulse? [18:31] geekphreak, that is cool. [18:31] geekphreak: how do i get that? [18:31] VCoolio, thanks gonna check it out [18:31] erm no something volume manager like [18:31] ManDay: gnome-volume-manager [18:31] ah right thanks geekphreak [18:31] Jongleur: its a combo like that. I think you can select console login from gdm [18:31] sorry GeekSquid [18:31] geeksquid: the thing is, i installed it using wubi already. when it boots for the fist time, i get the error message. I just uninstalled it, and am looking at the wubi installer right now. It just has me select a drive (C:/) to install to and how big i want the installation to be [18:31] plitter: you can mnaully mount it with rw perm. or add it to fstab [18:31] GeekSquid, that package doesnt exist [18:31] ManDay: a geek is a geek, But I have eight legs [18:32] littlepenguin, thanks [18:32] geekphreak: hmmm, k i will try, coming back if i need help mounting it [18:32] np [18:32] _pg_: The reason why grub is being loaded when you select windows is that you installed grub to your windows partition (the person who suggested that did so in error). [18:32] plitter: welcome , read man mount :) [18:32] Fluffymaster: did you md5 test the wubi installer and/or iso you downloaded? [18:32] anyone knows ehre to find Google Tech Talk About Ubuntu where Mark Shuttleworth in 2006 shows presentation? I think that presentation could be standing in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Presentations [18:32] onetinsoldier, I haven't no how do I do that? I'm actually using the oldest version displayed in GRUB, and want to remove the two newer versions.

[18:33] littlepenguin, where do I put that "script" I am new to linux [18:33] !md5 | fluffymaster [18:33] fluffymaster: 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 [18:33] i had an xls file and now it has 0 bytes [18:33] SealedWithAKiss: do you know the version numbers of the kernels you want to remove? [18:33] is there a way to recover that? [18:33] hi, is there a way to select which os to boot inside ubuntu for next time the computer starts? [18:34] ActionParsnip: no idea how to go further...

[18:34] SealedWithAKiss: do you know the version numbers of the kernels you want to remove? if so, show me one [18:34] ActionParsnip, if there was a backup it could be easy, right? [18:34] ManDay: click it and see :p [18:34] Jongleur: I've seen forums on this but not an answer I can remember [18:34] geekphreak, he gave me a url for a command that gave you a progress bar, http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/ [18:34] ActionParsnip: I tried and liked LXDE very much, CPU temp dropped such, testing this now because esx asked about it. [18:34] geekphreak, i tried it just gets enabled sortof [18:35] ActionParsnip, but there is no backup [18:35] but doesnt do anything [18:35] Coordinador: sure, just restore the file [18:35] tom_fishy: oh ok :) === ord is now known as qwm [18:35] okay, I will search for it, tahnks - will write here again later [18:35] mavromatis: Yes, set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub". Then you will be able to set the default with "grub-set-default" or if you only want it changed for one boot, "grub-reboot" [18:35] Vigo: look into lubuntu ;) [18:35] I don't no, I know that the one that I want to keep end in -14 and the other I want to remove end in -20 and -21. How do I view the kernels on my system? Then I can give you the full versions. [18:35] onetinsoldier, [18:35] ManDay: its to launch empathy/evolution and all [18:35] How often is an ubuntu released? [18:35] every six months [18:35] CytotoxicTCell: Every 6 months. [18:36] Coordinador: I suggest you sort one out if your data is important. You have learned the reason backups are good the hardest way possible [18:36] !releases | CytotoxicTCell [18:36] CytotoxicTCell: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [18:36] thanks Jordan_U [18:36] hi guys [18:36] fishy you want it systemwide? [18:36] mavromatis: You're welcome. [18:36] ActionParsnip: I am running Lubuntu on an older Commadore I have, it spins up and down great. [18:36] i've got a question for you [18:36] ok ActionParsnip , ill do but this doesnt help me now, so.. is there a way to recover files with this problem? [18:36] SealedWithAKiss: looks like to tried to enter a message addressed to me, but all i saw was my nick, nothing after it [18:37] Cytotoxictcell: every 6 months, look at the version numbers. The first number is the year. 20(10) and the next number is the month. April is the 4th month. Hence 10.04 [18:37] so october and april? [18:37] CytotoxicTCell: You should act more like a HelperTCell bro [18:37] SealedWithAKiss: looks like you* tried to enter a message addressed to me, but all i saw on here was my nick...nothing after it [18:37] lol [18:37] Coordinador: not sure. Are there any hidden files with a trailing tilde character in the same folder? [18:37] _pg_: Have you tried installing to /dev/sda with --force yet? [18:38] i've ushare on my desktop and i need to restart it each time i'm adding a new file in the scope of the server. I would like to be able to restart this ushare deamon without root password. Is it possible ? [18:38] <_pg_> Jordan_U: yes. it didnt work. I'd I dont want to try anymore --force things before I get a recent backup. [18:38] Hi all. I had OS X and ubuntu dual booted on a MacBook. I wiped the OS X partition and installed BackTrack on the free space. Now when I try to boot up, I get the folder with a question mark on boot. I used a Live CD to boot from the primary hard drive, which started GRUB, but when I try to select the first Ubuntu partition (that was already installed), it gives me a Error 15: File not found. Is there any way I can update GRUB to find it [18:38] , or is this partition dead and gone? [18:38] CytotoxicTCell: you got it. Just explaining the number system ;) [18:38] my firebox toolbars are in an ugly gray - so are other toolbars in different apps - how about yours? [18:39] Jsec: backtrack isn't supported here [18:39] i just read through the fstab file and found this: [18:39] #Entry for /dev/sdb1 : [18:39] UUID=464C096C4C095857 /media/Stash_ ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=nn_NO.UTF-8 0 0 [18:39] i then read on a page that defaults is read and writeable, so why cant i write to the partission with transmission?

[18:39] ActionParsnip, I know... I can boot into Ubuntu, GRUB just won't boot all operating systems. Is that outside the scope of this chan? [18:39] CytotoxicTCell: I gusess [18:40] dosent matter [18:40] CytotoxicTCell: that was then, release cycles have changed a bit, it is really up to sabdfl, aka. Mark Shuttleworth [18:40] at least we get releases twice a year compared to every 3-6 years at redmond [18:40] <_pg_> Jordan_U: so if I install it to /dev/sda wont that mess with EFI? I just feel so much safer putting grub on /dev/sda5 [18:40] Jsec: there's an app called system detector or somesuch which can help. You'll need to fight grub til it plays nice [18:41] so I've finally goteen my wireless network but there is a red explamation point on the notification area for network manager, and when I run iwlist scan, it shows my network as encrypted, and when i do iwconfig it says encryption is off anybody see this before? [18:41] Coordinador: not sure then dude. Sometimes apps backup originals like that. Gedit does it for example [18:41] SealedWithAKiss: you can install startupmanager (synaptic) then >>system>>admin>>startup manager... it will show you your kernels and give you some grub options [18:41] i dont like it but i am forced to run windows in virtualbox thanks to ms office [18:41] ActionParsnip. ok thanks [18:41] CytotoxicTCell: and you don't have to wait till tuesday for a critical patch [18:41] how do i play my games [18:41] _pg_: No, it won't mess with EFI. You likely already have grub installed to your mbr, which you can confirm with: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [18:41] on ubuntu [18:41] in what log would the ip of a website I connected to yesterday be located ? [18:41] any help [18:41] Cytotoxictcell: some versions run in wine. You could also just use openoffice [18:42] i am having problem with downloading stuff to my external harddrive and thought that changing settings in fstab would help, but it was already read and writeable enabled, more information here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/429069/ [18:42] !games | jose1 [18:42] jose1: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [18:42] its microsoft office 2007, i know about wine but i need it working 100% as my college course requires it [18:42] Jose1: some games run via wine [18:42] kop_: browser history? [18:42] kop_: open it up, see the ip ;) [18:42] Cytotoxictcell: then its your course forcing you. Noyt ubuntu [18:42] <_pg_> Jordan_U: can I run that on osx? [18:43] i did everything put a it says the game is not trusted so it wont laungh [18:43] i know its not ubuntus fault [18:43] CytotoxicTCell: I have the same problem..... just use virtualbox though [18:43] littlepenguin, I just copied it in the terminal and it worked but it don't show just one line insteed my whole terminal says ex 14% [=====> and all the lines do the same thing [18:43] thats what i am using [18:43] thankfully the semister ends may 23 [18:43] Jose1: not heard that. Check the appdb for compatibility of your apps [18:43] CytotoxicTCell: Hmm ... Office 2007 works well enough for my mum to use it on linux [18:44] CytotoxicTCell: and she isn't that "computer native" [18:44] Cytotoxictcell: office 2007 can open odt files you know [18:44] ok i will [18:44] !appdb | jose1 [18:44] jose1: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:44] plitter: it is by default owned by root ... do: sudo chown plitter:plitter /media/stash_ -R in terminal to change ownership to your user [18:44] i know [18:44] i guess if i can find the time i will try office in wine [18:44] so fishy how did u use it?there are several options to do that [18:44] see am trying to run the game fear [18:44] Cytotoxictcell: so why is 2007 needed? [18:44] _pg_: No, you can run it from a LiveCD or use dd and grep from OSX to check manually. [18:44] but 5 finals next week =( [18:44] CytotoxicTCell: The only problem is installation: you have to use an "old" wine version in order to make that work [18:44] the class i take is intro to microsoft office [18:45] Jose1: check appdb and/or ask in #winehq [18:45] <_pg_> Jordan_U: which is harder to screw up? [18:45] Cytotoxictcell: aaaaah makes sense [18:45] fishy you need to coppy the script into a file and save it [18:45] but i get to take a linux next semister =) [18:45] k [18:45] geekphreak, that would be the problem , browser history does not give the ip I believe it has changed so I'm looking for the previous ip since all history redirects to a 403/404 [18:45] linux course [18:45] can someone tell me how to get rid of the ugly styled toobars in lucid? [18:45] _pg_: Running it from a LiveCD [18:46] be back [18:46] ManDay, use windows [18:46] littlepenguin, save it where?

Then I can give you the full versions. [18:46] kop_: then i think you are out of luck, unless you used something like tcpdump to monitor net [18:46] kop_: Thats not helpful. [18:46] It works but shows progress on every line [18:46] firstly into your profile [18:46] How do I reactive the middle-mouse button to display the scroll circle in Firefox? It's disabled in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). [18:46] @fishy [18:46] ManDay: Have you tried switching to a different theme?

There's nothin in gconf-editor either.

[18:47] Pici, im using dust, i used dust in karmic too and didnt have these toolbars [18:47] after that you can test it so when its saved in your profile try cp_p if you named it like this [18:47] !controls | ManDay [18:47] ManDay: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[18:48] ManDay: If its just the look then, you'll want to look at new themes like pici and vigo mentioned [18:48] onetinsoldier, I also need to add an entry for Windows Vista as GRUB didn't add one automatically. [18:49] hey everyone, is there a way to create a file which I can mount in my fy and put a dynamically expanding encrypted filesystem in? I want to use it on a remote computer to store data in.

The two are completely separate and can therefore co-exist. [18:50] SmokeyD: welcome [18:51] CogitoErgoSam: that bisigi ppa is sexy. I've used it a while now [18:51] Folks, can we move the non-support conversations in #ubuntu-offtopic ? Thanks [18:51] SealedWithAKiss: when you've had a look at what you want to remove... then do the following for each package you want to remove --> dpkg --purge [18:51] hello, i'm using pidgin as IM, and rhytmbox as music player, since the update to 10.04, rhytmbox updates my pidgin's status, something i'm very happy about, but everytime it does so, it logs out my pidgin, thus letting me the option to "re-enable" my account [18:51] <_pg_> Jordan_U: sweet. thanks. so you think install-grub --force /dev/sda will do the trick? [18:51] tcell me.i wanted to buy me one..now i don..also scary is that the ps3 sends encrypted data also if in standby-maybe a microphone in there :D [18:51] The bisigi package of themes is pretty big in file size, but they're worth it. Very rich and elegant themes. [18:51] Gieke: disable the plugin and log a bug [18:52] SealedWithAKiss: when you remove kernels, update-grub will be run automatically and your grub boot menu will is therefore updated automatically [18:52] Pici, CogitoErgoSam here is a screen http://img682.imageshack.us/i/201005061951131920x1080.png/ [18:52] CogitoErgoSam: 250mb for the whole show [18:52] see the ugly gray bars?

Could someone check if this bug is not only with my system? It wil not freezes anything.

[19:13] hm, i tried to add protocol for spotify, but firefox doesn't seem to recognize it.. [19:13] plitter: you have to unmount, then remount? [19:13] network.protocol-handler.external.spotify = true [19:13] none work properly.. so id like to install 32 bit firefox if its at all possible [19:13] ActionParsnip - sudo nvidia-xconfig "command not found" [19:13] Justin22885: if you have all those installed at the same time you won't get flash at all [19:13] simar: It didn't start an actual fire, but I think it blew a fuse. [19:13] ok i did downloaded now try the game? [19:13] geekphreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/429088/ [19:14] Justin22885: you only want ONE flash plugin package installed or they conflict [19:14] ActionParsnip - why cant i find my xorg.conf?

It'll boot without the chip in. Problem solved. :D [19:14] none of them work as well as the 32 bit setup [19:14] Zohar: karmic doesn't ship with one and nor does lucid.

It got worse after I updated [19:15] heyy [19:15] plitter: you need uid/gid to give non-root rw-access [19:15] how would i install 32 bit firefox to see if it helps the issue? [19:15] llutz: good idea [19:15] llutz: how do i do that? [19:15] Which sleeping screen glitch? [19:15] actionparsnip---i downloaded so now try the game [19:15] Nanashi, whats tha matter [19:16] where the graphics fail miserably? -> lo-res [19:16] Zohar: Note that if you're using the nvidia software, you might need to run nvidia-settings with elevated privs (gksudo) in order for it to save the xorg.conf [19:16] plitter: edit your /etc/fstab line, add "uid=1000" to options-field [19:16] jonathanisme: Computer sleeps the screen for innactivity and doesn't come back [19:16] Justin22885: remove all gnash swf and flashplugin packages then add the ppa outlines in the flash factoid and install flashplugin-installer64 [19:16] for install JFFNMS [19:16] ??????? [19:16] can anyone tell me whats the latest propriatery nvidia drivers? [19:16] ActionParsnip, to recover old xls deleted, corrupt files in /dev/sda5 I used the command: foremost -t xls -v /dev/sda5 [19:16] and it works :D! [19:16] for install JFFNMS???? [19:16] i downloaded that d3dx9 27.dl so wats next [19:17] Zohar: you will also need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add the hwcursor or swcursor lines [19:17] add ppa outlines in the flash factoid? [19:17] a [19:17] plitter: or if you need it for a group, use "gid=46" (plugdev) [19:17] hey dude for install JFFNMS???? [19:17] Coordinador: sweet.

[19:19] llutz: that i dont know:P [19:19] I had a question earlier, and have figured out the work around for it, if someone is looking for it (now or in the future): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474414 [19:19] plitter: "id" [19:19] llutz: did the remount though:) [19:19] E01: folks on ppc architecture need to use it as the is no ppc adobe flash [19:19] llutz: and yes i am:) [19:19] how would you rate gnash performance versus Flash? [19:20] your link didnt help [19:20] gnash is horrible in my experience [19:20] manday: remember that nvidia drivers need to be enabled manually System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [19:20] hmm [19:20] swfplayer was slightly better [19:20] that's sad :/ [19:20] Justin22885: isn't the ubuntu.com down right now? [19:20] i got the best result downloading the 64 bit flash plugin from the debian repositories [19:20] no [19:20] Action; is not down [19:20] histo, ActionParsnip, okay open source, but is there some serious difference, for example in performance ? [19:20] SealedWithAKiss: hello. get it sorted out yet? [19:21] What does 'The VPN service was invalid' mean? I am trying to connect to another network via VPN. Do I need to install PPPT? How do I do that in 9.10? [19:21] because flash is really havy for cpu [19:21] e01: justin rated it as poor [19:21] nanashi - if one of the packages got corrupted or more corupt after the upgrade then uninstalling and reinstalling the packages might fix the problem [19:21] poor performance, probably poor support [19:21] onetinsoldier, thanks so much. I have managed to remove the unneeded packages! [19:21] Justin22885: I see. Ok remove all gnash swf-dec and flashplugin packages then add the ppa on the page and install flashplugin-installer64 [19:21] SealedWithAKiss: cool, good deal. you're welcome :-) [19:21] SealedWithAKiss: What king of connection/VPN are you looking to create? [19:22] llutz: i am 1000 i mean [19:22] tiger237: Well, I've read about this glitch and it seems a bit too common to be a corrupt file [19:22] E01: as flash is proprietary the full capabilities in the adobe plugin are not present in the open plugins [19:22] leave [19:22] e01: The adobe one seems to work better at the moment. gnash is still undergoing heavy develpment. [19:22] ppa on what page? [19:22] quit [19:22] exit [19:22] plitter: still doesn't work? [19:22] greezmunkey, I don't understand the question. What are my options? I am trying to connect via an existing connection that no longer works. [19:22] SealedWithAKiss: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [19:22] what kind of soundsystem does Ubuntu 10.04 use by default, everything broke after I upgraded [19:22] how can I mass move using sudo mc?

[19:22] I had pulseaudio configured, but now everything is a mess [19:23] !flash64 | justin22885 [19:23] justin22885: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [19:23] geekphreak: I had alsa forwarded to pulse, now alsa is busy all the time [19:23] ActionParsnip - what should i install to run , nvidia-xconfig ? [19:23] i know that.. but its still glitchy [19:23] plitter:pastebin output of "mount |grep /media/Stash_" and "ls -ld /media/Stash_" please [19:23] Justin22885: there is a ppa outlined. It gives the full command which will add the ppa and plugin [19:23] SealedWithAKiss: I haven't been staring at the screen here. So, it worked - then something changed? [19:23] sometimes when i close a window playing flash, i will still hear the sound from it for the next 5 minutes [19:23] Has anybody ever used ProjectM? [19:24] And compiled it by himself? [19:24] Zohar: use the hardware driver app under system -> administration [19:24] Problem: when I log in as one user, then switch to a different user, then log out the second user, the screen goes blank and I can't see what's going on. Behind the scenes, it's asking for the password of the previous user, but even after typing it in and getting back into their account, the screen stays blank. [19:25] nanashi: I was having problems with the screen saver myself. I uninstalled the program that came with the download and installed a different screen saver program altogether. No problem after that... [19:25] llutz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/429091/ [19:25] tigger237: This is sleeping screen, not screensaver [19:25] greezmunkey, it's a long long story. I upgraded to 10.04 which wouldn't boot, then I attempted a fresh installation of 9.10 which fixed GRUB meaning that I could boot again. So now I'm using 9.10 and my VPN connections aren't working, I have also lost configurations and various software etc. [19:26] * JonathanIsMe wonders [19:26] SealedWithAKiss: What kind of vpns? PPTP? [19:26] Justin22885: or if you remove all the packages and manually download the .tar.gz you can extract the plugin file and throw it in your browsers plugins folder [19:26] I never have had problems with ubuntu not booting [19:26] SealedWithAKiss: ok, are you using network manager? [19:26] nanashi: oops my bad... [19:26] * airtonix loves partitions for /home [19:26] also, the problem ive been having with 64 bit flash is if i have just a couple flash windows open it would lag really bad [19:26] greezmunkey, yup. [19:26] tigger237: Thanks anyway [19:26] actually.. I've got a computer that will only run ubuntu.. nothing else will stick (the hdd is going out) [19:26] CogitoErgoSam, PPPT. [19:26] um, can I set permissions to a certain folder to a user by command line? [19:26] airtonix: why? [19:26] SealedWithAKiss: you will probably have to install the NM vpn plugin again. [19:26] Justin22885: that's usual. Flash sucks with ram [19:26] plitter: "touch /media/Stash_/ttest.dat" [19:27] !mediawiki [19:27] ActionParsnip: and cpu [19:27] well, on windows 7 i never had any problems with flash doing that [19:27] Hi all. Is there a way to configure ssh to use different ports depending on who I'm connecting to, without having to add the port on the command line? [19:27] plitter: "rm /media/Stash_/ttest.dat" [19:27] Histo: yep :( [19:27] however, i used 32 bit IE [19:27] !info mediawiki [19:27] flash for windows is more polished. No doubt [19:27] geekphreak, its been something i've done since before i started using linux. i'd put "my documents" on a seperate partition too. makes reinstalls less of an issue.

[19:27] Problem: When I log in as one user, then log in as another user, the screen goes black after I log out of the second user (when it's asking for the password of the first user). How do I fix this? [19:27] llutz: no [19:28] plitter: so its not ntfs/mount related, must be transmission [19:28] airtonix: always a good idea, much less to backup [19:28] llutz: hmmm, i guess then that u have never come across a problem like that [19:28] CogitoErgoSam, brb. [19:29] plitter: i avoid dealing with non-unix filesystems :) [19:29] plitter: and no, i never used transmission [19:29] llutz: did it work? [19:29] geekphreak: no, transmission thingy [19:29] plitter: just a guess: restart transmission and try [19:30] ActionParsnip - can i find it in synaptic? [19:30] SealedWithAKiss: should be like apt-get install network-manager-pptp, or for openvpn - network-manager-openvpn [19:30] plitter: you do know , you can go in transmisson option and specify default download folder [19:30] Since I installed a program there is a directory including subdirs in my gnome-menu which I cannot edit nor delete through any means - let alone the menu setup - does anyone know where that item could be configured?

Anyone knows how to restore it? [19:37] pici: o ok, thanks ;D [19:37] Pici: aah ok though he meant packages :) [19:37] budlust: If you want the source, you can use apt-get source packagename [19:37] hi guys , my name is Tony and i am new here [19:37] i was trying to patch john the ripper but couldnt find it =*( [19:38] i have problem in kubuntu 10.04 getting my wireless up and running [19:38] geekphreak: i can log in with a local user, but when i try the domain user, it authenticates, tries to initiate the desktop, but then kicks back to the login window [19:38] budlust: The package name is 'john' [19:38] I'm upgrading to Lucid and got a question about where to install grub. /dev/sda is my boot device but should I install grub to the sda, sda1, sda2 or sda5? [19:38] i did a fresh install of kubuntu and during the install my wlan0 was working [19:38] hi, could anyone help me a bit with mdam? [19:39] joab: Only to /dev/sda.

One disc is faulty i can see if i run mdadm -E sdb6 [19:39] still wont work [19:39] pici: dont think that made sense [19:39] I have a server running Lucid Server Edition. I need to run a program with a GUI, but I don't want to install a complete desktop. I have installed a VNC server (Xvnc) and can connect to it, but I see a checkered screen. What do I need to install to see GUI programs over VNC? [19:40] Still wondering what is the command behind the "Safely Remove". It would be nice to be able to shut down devices from command line in a similar manner as we are able to umount and eject. For the record, "Safely Remove" is not only a umount, but works like XP's safe remove, which shuts down the device. Finally Ubuntu has reached XP! Next stop, Vista! [19:40] budlust: You'll need to download the source, patch it, then recompile. [19:40] budlust: why not just apt-get it? [19:40] but i don't know how to use the raid to mount it and backup the data [19:40] ifconfig shows the interface wlan0, no ip, task bar misses the little icon for wireless [19:40] Grexeo: i have always used x11vnc [19:41] jose1: what i usually do is extract file / folder to desktop..... gksudo nautilus then drag from desktop to nautilus window.... is that what you tried?

[19:42] budlust: why not just apt-get the appliation ? [19:42] should i use mdadm --assemble? [19:43] tryed to copy to wine program system 32 [19:43] geekphreak: will that get the source code? [19:43] inveratulo: thanks, but I think the problem is that I don't have a window manager, etc. [19:43] budlust: it will let you run the program by just typing john :p [19:43] i have to put it in the folder i guess [19:43] geekphreak: i need the source code to patch it [19:43] buit it wont let me === brendan_ is now known as Guest57784 [19:44] Has anyone else noticed the bug in Ubuntu 10.4 regarding file uploads and the file browser? Try and use imageshack for a laugh, the file you select will not be the one chosen, it always uploads the one just above the file you select... :P [19:44] jose1: hum.... should be able to do it with sudo perms. that's about all I got.... sorry [19:44] oh ok no worries budlust was curious [19:44] k ill try [19:44] Is there a way I can change lucid's architecture from amd to intel?

So that the traffic is router into the VPN, and then onto the Tor network? [19:44] Grexeo: From what platform are you connecting to your server? You can always export the display over X if you absolutely need GUI tools, but typically they aren't required. [19:44] Guest57784: 64 bits linux is named amd64 becouse it was amd which designed the 64 bit extensions [19:45] oh ok [19:45] Guest57784: but it works in intel processors just fine [19:45] Hello [19:45] Grexeo: sorry, prev should say "export over ssh" [19:45] !amd64 [19:45] How do Install GRUB2 from the live CD? [19:45] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [19:45] Guest57784: no. they are one and the same. it's called 'amd' by name because they were the first to implement 64 bit [19:45] Because Windows erased it [19:45] !grub2 > domjohnson [19:45] domjohnson, please see my private message [19:46] this is my first time using kubuntu [19:46] actually intel was first... but it was not backwards compatible so amd chose to go with a different design [19:46] !time [19:46] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [19:46] hi [19:46] i am used to fedora and mandriva [19:46] hmm, does nautilus control the file browser? I need to file a bug if it hasn't been filed already. [19:46] which ended up winning out over intel's design [19:46] Guest57784: to install flash just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package or flashplugin-nonfree [19:46] Gaming4JC: it is the one [19:46] when using gnome the wireless worked fine also in version 9 [19:47] !flash [19:47] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [19:47] does anybody know about the mousepointer problem. my mousepointer is moving to the left top corner from time to time [19:47] can anyone help me [19:47] I am using empathy ubuntu but no voice with msn [19:47] !it [19:47] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Where is the other 96 MB of space? [19:47] geekphreak: Thanks. You wouldn't happen to know about any file upload issues would you? It occurs in firefox but seems to be linked to the nautilus file manager?... [19:47] Guest57784: that's an issue of 64 bit vs 32 bits not an isuue of amd vs intel [19:47] Is it possible to use Tor over a VPN connection? So that the traffic is router into the VPN, and then onto the Tor network? [19:47] Does anyone here use Handbrake for video encoding? [19:47] Gaming4JC: not that i can recall [19:47] I am using empathy ubuntu but no voice with msn [19:48] jbcoats: some hidden folder ? [19:48] any codecs plugin required [19:48] UbuntuLily, using here.. but have to use on Fedora as Lucid does not work [19:48] SealedWithAKiss: wasn't watching, did you get your vpn going?

[19:50] when using gnome the wireless worked fine also in version 9 [19:50] I don't understand how I can install the amd64 version of flash - will flashplugin-installer do that automatically?

Im going to walk away and come back later [19:50] this is my first time using kubuntu [19:50] ManDay: You need the flash plugin installer nonfree from synaptic. Then you need to add a line to a configuration file. [19:50] _pg_: cya [19:50] SealedWithAKiss, probably. It depends upon how your vps is set up. But you should be able to set tor up to use your vpn as it's interface [19:50] ManDay: yes it will [19:50] greetings [19:50] goodnight people [19:50] <_pg_> eikelmt: plug into ethernet and look for hardware drivers!

Have done it years ago by grabbing the source from kernel.org but dont want to break my system [19:51] shishire, so how does this work? My traffic goes through the internet and into the VPN, and then out of the VPN onto the Tor network? [19:51] i know it should work because during install it did work fine [19:51] hi [19:51] so the driver should be there [19:51] hi [19:51] Anyone knows how to downgrade libsdl?

[19:52] <_pg_> eikelmt: you still may need to look for proprietary wireless drivers. plug into ethernet and then go to hardware devices [19:52] <_pg_> geekphreak: will do lol see ya later [19:52] Stormcr0w, i ve now dl the amd64 from debian's [19:52] where does software manager install things?? I can't find it in application menu [19:52] sono nuovo e inesperto [19:52] SealedWithAKiss, think of the VPN as exactly the same type of thing as TOR. Both should act as transparent proxies to the external network. [19:52] shishire, what happens with a default configuration? I am connected to a VPN, I configure my browser to use Tor, and then visit www.google.com - does Google see the VPNs IP or the last Tor nodes IP? [19:52] but id prefer an ubuntu solution [19:52] <_pg_> eikelmt: gotta run. sanity is calling. hope you get it working. [19:52] ManDay: Why not Synaptic?

[19:54] jshriver: I think it's a standard process: you install the linux headers for your running kernel and then compile the module and then load it as needed. Poke around here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [19:54] Stormcr0w you said something about an additional line in some config file [19:54] what was that about?

[20:05] brunofsribeiro: what are you trying to install? [20:06] nomasteryoda, will try it now [20:06] Guest57784, in ubuntu software center, click on edit, click on software sources, click on ubuntu software tab, you'll see download from: mine has main server and server for united states [20:06] minjoo: prefix "LANG=xxx" for the command [20:06] I'm on Lucid Lynx with a gigabyte h55m-ud2h motherboard & intel i3 cpu - network connection has stopped working. I installed the ati & amd driver and since then it seems it hasn't been working. I then removed the driver & also removed the files via synaptic but still have no network. Any ideas? [20:06] i installed live 10.04 on a pendisk [20:06] Zelozelos: I want to change where the file downloads to... not from [20:06] minjoo: man -l locale [20:06] I have a problem with Kate :/ It tells me "Access denied. Could not write to /path/to/my/file/functions.php.part" while I have rights on it. It's an sftp file. What is the problem ? [20:06] shishire, okay then I'll take a look online now. [20:06] brunofsribeiro: okay how did you put it on the pendrive wiht the usb creator? [20:06] Stormcr0w, nvm as long as its working :) [20:06] thanks man [20:06] booted live and clicked "install ubuntu..." on desktop [20:06] tell me, who absolutely ROCKS at ssh rsa key login setup. i need someone with at least 3 years of experience. :-P seriously though, i can log in with the default user, but not as any other user. ##linux and #ubuntu-server are at a loss. [20:06] brunofsribeiro: k [20:06] followed instructions, rebooted...but it doesn't boot [20:06] brunofsribeiro: and what happens when you boot the machine after you installed? [20:07] thanx for help [20:07] meway: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/cups-unable-to-connect-to-server-184088/ [20:07] brunofsribeiro: What happens when you try to boot? [20:07] oh hahaa, nvm then, no you cant change where they dl to unless you re-write the entire thing to look at that location instead of the place it is now ;) [20:07] brunofsribeiro: can you describe "doesn't boot" keep in mind we can't see your screen [20:07] SealedWithAKiss, sorry, mispoke. I meant to say that I took a look online. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? [20:07] ManDay: No worries. I have just noticed the file npviewer is under the dir ../nspliginwrapper/i386 [20:07] ManDay: /linux/ [20:07] Soyo: ok thx I will read that [20:07] Does anybody know how to change where a file is saved after downloading from the Software Center? [20:07] gtg [20:07] Guest57784, why would you want to do that anyhow? [20:07] minjoo: you want to set the locale [20:07] tesseracter, take a look at /var/log/auth.log to see what happens (you can put your ssh server in debug mode for further infos) [20:07] i mean..i turn on the computer.. [20:08] ManDay: So there is a strong possibility you are right and this is the 32 bit [20:08] Stormcr0w, yep i see [20:08] brb [20:08] and it just stays black [20:08] minjoo: setlocale or lacale -a will show you availible locales [20:08] Guest57784: perhaps use 'apt-mirror' [20:08] Every time I run grub-install, I get these lines - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/429111/ [20:08] !info apt-mirror [20:08] apt-mirror (source: apt-mirror): APT sources mirroring tool.

[20:08] minjoo: then you can change back i'm trying to think of a way to do it just on one man basis [20:08] Guest57784: Packages are installed after downloading from software-center. They do get cached into /var/cache/apt/archives/ though. [20:08] histo, ok i'll try it [20:08] I have a problem with Kate :/ It tells me "Access denied. Could not write to /path/to/my/file/functions.php.part" while I have rights on it. It's an sftp file. What is the problem ? [20:08] Guest57784: What are you actually trying to accomplish? [20:08] ManDay: I am just looking at adobe's site atm, and it looks like there are 64-bit tarballs available in alpha [20:09] I am trying to find an application because its not in my application menu.,.. [20:09] Guest57784: What application? [20:09] like it doesn't have an operative system installed... [20:09] anyone familiar with the sync software Unison? if I'm trying to sync two large replicas for the first time, which are already close to identical, and the Unison process stops running on the remote machine before the local, is it just going to fail at the end? [20:09] anyone using likewise w/ubuntu 10.04 and active directory [20:09] hardware lister [20:09] ? [20:09] domjohnson: Are you running grub-install from a LiveCD? [20:09] Guest57784: maybe a terminal app you can launch it from command line or run dialog [20:09] Jordun_U - yes [20:09] how do i change gnome desktop icons FONT COLOR? This is driving me nuts.. :-( [20:10] Guest57784: dpkg -L packagename [20:10] Guest57784: do you know the name of the package the application came in? is the name of it 'lshw'? [20:10] * Jordan_U - yes [20:10] why is it so hard to just find an application you can do anything else [20:10] earthling: system > preferences > appearence [20:10] histo? could you help me? [20:10] brunofsribeiro: yes if you describe what is happening === Avt is now known as Guest12239 [20:10] how am i supposed to know the package name [20:10] shishire, I'm not trying to accomplish anything in particular. I just enjoy fiddling about with things to gain a better understanding of how they work. Today I have chosen to explore WAPs, VPNs and TOR. It's about as simple at that. [20:10] Guest57784: I'm not familiar with the application. If you know the package name I might be able to help. === vitium1 is now known as vitium [20:10] brunofsribeiro: nevermind I see. How did you select the drive in the installer [20:11] i turn on the computer...and it goes black after bios info [20:11] Guest57784: it's not that hard once you know how to it. all you really need to know first and foremost, is the name of the package it came in [20:11] guys im in kubuntu and I want to install yahoo chat, actualy I used to use zinc chat in ubuntu but it wont install in kubuntu [20:11] I expected applications to go into the applications menu... [20:11] like it doesn´t have an OS installed [20:11] brunofsribeiro: is the computer set to boot the first hard drive? [20:11] yes [20:11] is there a way to figure out which Package an executable came with? [20:11] brunofsribeiro: Can you try holding shift during boot and see if that makes any difference? [20:11] i only have one hdd [20:11] ManDay: dpkg -S /path/to/exec [20:11] thanks [20:11] brunofsribeiro: and are you trying to dual boot or did you tell it just to format the drive and instlal? [20:11] i chose format and automatic install [20:12] only one disk [20:12] brunofsribeiro: well boot the usb and select try and see whats on the hd [20:12] Guest57784: Can you give me a better idea as to what the name of the application was? I don't see anything when I look for Hardware Lister [20:12] Guest57784: i hear you. it is hard to know the name of every single command(application) installed on the system since they're not all in a gui menu. [20:12] join #f-spot [20:12] brunofsribeiro: possibly the boot flag isn't set but we'll be able to check once you are up on the usb desktop [20:12] do I update gaim or something? [20:12] can anyone tell me what the difference between open source ati drivers and the "closed source" one is? I am using compiz with open source... [20:12] gaim just dont conenct to rooms [20:12] onetinsoldier: Guest57784 in a terminal hit tab three times and then y when prompted.. it will list all commands [20:12] on the hd theres the linux filesystem [20:13] its all greyed out [20:13] nou, there is only something called subpixel order but it does not allow me to choose the color i want... [20:13] brunofsribeiro: Can you try holding shift during boot and see if that makes any difference? [20:13] shift? what for? [20:13] Guest12239: you'd have to download a newer version from their site and build yourself. [20:13] thanks histo [20:13] Pici, dpkg -S evolution-alarm-notify [20:13] Guest12239: or you can check if gotdeb.net or someone else already has a deb built [20:13] evolution: /etc/xdg/autostart/evolution-alarm-notify.desktop [20:13] i selected f9 and chose boot from hdd [20:13] brunofsribeiro: shift? [20:13] histo: The boot flag is only read by Microsoft's bootcode (and some extremely braindead BIOS's) [20:13] Thats the output [20:14] brunofsribeiro: okay now hit alt+f2 and run gparted [20:14] SealedWithAKiss, ah! ok. VPNs are kind of unusual, in that they aren't actually a real tunnel. They're a selective forwarding of packets destined to a certain address to another address, after being encrypted. They can't accept generic proxying requests iirc. TOR is standard proxy, albiet a multi-hop one, which forwards packets between computers indiscriminately. [20:14] brunofsribeiro: you can see the partitions on the drive [20:14] would gyach be easier? [20:14] bastid_raZor: yeah. that's one way. another might be to do an 'ls | less' in /bin /sbin /usr/bin, ect... [20:14] ManDay: Then the pacakge is 'evolution' [20:14] brunofsribeiro: you also want to right click on the drive and manage flags [20:14] one minute please.. [20:14] SealedWithAKiss, For some good fun, I suggest looking up how to use ssh as a socks proxy of sorts. [20:14] brunofsribeiro: The grub menu is hidden by default in Ubuntu, I want to know if booting fails before or after grub is loaded. [20:15] Pici, nvm there are strange things going on here [20:15] lorenz: the closed source drivers support more functions dealing with your ATI card but they do not support cards forever..... like mine! [20:15] i removed a lot of packs like evolution but the apps are still there and in autostart [20:15] I'm looking to install/update my graphics driver. Do I need to find a general driver or one specific to my card? [20:15] i went to http://gnome-look.org/ and got a cursor theme ..i downloaded it .. how to i install it/ set it up [20:15] does kubutu do .deb comression? [20:15] before...i think..i'll install it again..just a minute [20:16] Guest12239: do you mean can you get kbuntu to make a .deb package for you? [20:16] brunofsribeiro: k [20:16] blue112, auth.log doesnt even show them trying to connect - debug mode? [20:16] I want to extract from deb to instal lgyachi [20:17] tesseracter, yes, try to put the ssh server in debug mode =) [20:17] shishire, I'm trying to gain a better understanding of networking essentially. I'll take a look at SSH as a SOCKS proxy now. [20:17] Hi! I've generated a keypair and put the public key on my server in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Yet when I connect it still asks for my pw. Anything else I gotta do? [20:17] Guest12239: i think you can use 'gdebi' to extract a .deb [20:17] tesseracter, and look into the /var/log/daemon.log too. [20:17] Guest12239: kubuntu should be able to install a stantalone deb package [20:18] Guest12239: oh, wait. not sure gdebi is in kbuntu... sorry [20:18] well it almost worked [20:18] but the deb was missing a dependancy [20:18] hello all [20:18] hi [20:18] I need to query something [20:19] updated linux kernel, restarting... [20:19] balzan, suit yourself [20:19] how do you get a xorg.conf built in 10.04. it says to run the dpkg-reconfigure but that didn't build it [20:19] SealedWithAKiss, networking is a tricky subject. One way or another, data has to go from one computer to another over a public line. VPN is a method of fooling the computer into thinking that certain IPs are local, even when they're not. Proxies are a way of getting another computer to do the talking to the remote server for you. [20:19] meaning? [20:19] whats the best 64bit screen recording program? === root is now known as OneLastSin [20:20] I just had a horrible update, where the kernel headers and image didn't configure correctly and I think that grub is all messed up... I still reboot just fine, but every apt-get I do results in a ton of errors and grub trying to reconfigure and ultimately failing... Would anyone like to see my apt-get output? [20:20] lorenz: gtk-record-mydesktop or whatever its called [20:20] thejam, sure, pastebin it. [20:21] lorenz: gkt-recordmydesktop [20:21] i went to http://gnome-look.org/ and got a cursor theme ..i downloaded it .. how to i install it/ set it up [20:21] ok gimme a sec [20:21] histo, thanks man found it [20:21] how can i open a terminal window with a specific height/width? [20:21] lorenz: thats the one i've had the most success with. not sure of any specific 64bit ones though [20:21] * vamps is here for help [20:21] jew_: grab it to the 'apprearence' window [20:21] azlon: what gnome-terminal? [20:21] hi, does anyone knews how i can find out if my switch runs in hub-mode? [20:21] * vamps please ask, i am borring [20:21] histo, well it apears in software center... [20:21] sivik: not really sure you want to do this. i know this used to work.... sudo service gdm stop (you'll be dropped out of X) then log in and... sudo Xorg --configure [20:21] histo: yes, gnome-terminal [20:21] How can I put Trash in Places? [20:21] lorenz: yeah but i'm saying there are other apps they may not be architecture specific [20:22] histo, going to try it and report back if it doesn't work [20:22] after compiling a program from source code, I dont see the program in the menu. Program is called dillo. [20:22] shishire, I understand those concepts completely. I have been playing around with VPNs for a few hours, I had trouble earlier on because both my LAN and my VPN were operating on the same subnet. I understand that proxies take data and pass it onto the destination server on your behalf making it appear as though the proxy made the initial request. [20:22] azlon: gnome-terminal --geometry=GEOMTRY [20:22] onetinsoldier, I just want to build the xorg.conf file so I can change it [20:22] original request* [20:22] marv_: open trash and book mark it [20:22] blazan: System>Preferences>main menu is the menu editor [20:23] http://pastebin.com/jSu0PrZN [20:23] azlon: like gnome-terminal --geometry=60x75 etc... [20:23] sivik: that will create an xorg.conf(or perhaps slightly different name) file that will be placed /root. you can then copy that to /etc/X11 [20:23] shishire, mind me sending you a PM? I don't want to go off topic. [20:23] histo: just tried it... didnt work... :| [20:23] onetinsoldier, Xorg --configure gives me a Unrecognized option [20:23] azlon: let me try it hold up [20:23] How can I put Trash in Places? [20:23] how do i older version of any software? for example the default available version for Ant is 1.7.1, but i need 1.7.0... how do i do that? [20:23] sivik: hang on [20:24] azlon: what was the command you tried because its working here [20:24] tanjir: search for Ant in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [20:24] histo: gnome-terminal --geometry=100x7 and it opened in full screen when i did that [20:24] thejam, can you try a "sudo apt-get -f" for me? [20:24] anyone had keyboard issues with 10.4? [20:24] sivik: ok, it's... sudo Xorg -configure [20:24] I have a PPA problem, is anyone here available for help? [20:25] hist [20:25] !ask | inglor [20:25] inglor: 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. :-) [20:25] azlon: its workign here make sure you don't have a typo [20:25] shishire: yes, but do I need the install in that too [20:25] histo: bah, i dont know what i did wrong, its working now... must have fat fingered it [20:25] otherwise it just give me the help screen [20:25] I'm aware of that, I'm asking if anyone here is available to help me with a PPA related question [20:25] help output, rather [20:25] inglor: ask the question' [20:25] thejam, yes, you're right. should be "sudo apt-get -f install [20:25] " [20:25] inglor: contact the ppa author [20:25] uLinux: make a bookmark for trash in nautilus, it should show up in places then [20:26] it's more general [20:26] shishire: it's running depmod again [20:26] inglor: the point is, it's hard to know if we can help without knowing more details of your problem... [20:26] soon it will run grub [20:26] histo: hrmm... ok how can i incorporate that into a launcher? i need a terminal window 100x7 to run watch cat /proc/mdstat... [20:26] cool, well, I'm using the docky PPA but the update manager doesn't update its version although in the actual PPA it's updated [20:26] thejam, is it encountering errors yet? [20:26] yeah [20:26] they are the same [20:26] so I get an older version although the PPA version is the new one [20:26] I'll pastebin in case they are a little diff [20:26] how can I find out what`s my ip without enter on websites like ipadress [20:27] danutz: ifconfig | grep inet [20:27] it wont drop into it ..it just flys back into the other window [20:27] shishire: http://pastebin.com/DV1K99HJ [20:27] inglor: the ppa was just updated today, it takes a bit for the package information to become available [20:27] danutz: if you cannect thrugh a router the only way is to use a website etc ... [20:28] trism, ok, but I'm getting a way outdated information (1309) where in my browser when I manually enter the PPA address I get the new one (1324) [20:28] inglor: what version do you got, says 2.1.0, r1323 ppa here? [20:28] thanks [20:28] danutz : 79.116.14.249 [20:28] histo, thanks for the program its really good... gona try turning up fps thanks for your help [20:28] lorenz: np [20:28] lorenz: very simple to use as well [20:28] brontosaurusrex: I got 1309, I'm guessing this is not a docky issue but a sources issue... I'm doing something wrong and I want to know what... this started when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 [20:29] inglor: it is called pinning, you need to set a pin on that PPA to a higher priority than the other repo, see pinning ubuntu in google [20:29] histo, yes really xD [20:29] thejam, hmm... they are identical [20:29] GeekSquid: ok, thank you, wasn't aware of that, will check it out and tell you how it went === Guest12239 is now known as Avttt [20:29] yeah [20:29] Hello [20:29] I had run that command before [20:30] is there a software in kubuntu that will connect to yahoo chatrooms? [20:30] thejam, what was updated that caused this?

I am sure they will fix by 10.04.2 [21:39] onetinsoldier: nothing yet [21:39] No the thing is it still states it has enough space about 50 MB [21:39] 500 i mean [21:39] huhwha [21:39] Tristan: private chat invite... [21:39] airtonix & GeekSquid : I tried ubuntu/ubuntu and / so far nothing [21:39] onetinsoldier: so i ran the setup after unpacking the .tar file, the install was successful, but there is no meaningful filename in the directory that i created [21:40] !puregnome [21:40] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [21:40] Won't allow me to accept the invite. [21:40] KimK: how about ubuntu/? [21:40] well it is working great as it is now but not being able to install updates is kind of a bugger [21:40] And I'm sorry about the silence there. [21:40] alex-hp: maybe it didn't install into the directory you thought it did. perhaps check /usr/local/bin [21:40] (Visitor.) [21:40] is there any way to customize the places menu? I would fx like the bookmarks as a separate menu directly on my gnome panel [21:41] Trista: ok - [21:41] : histo tnx histo [21:41] ubuntu: k [21:41] GeekSquid: no, didn't work either [21:41] KimK, you might try useing the tty terminal (alt + ctrl + f1) and hopefully there you wont need to login and then you can set a password... [21:41] alex-hp: since it's installed, for all i know, you could type the name of the app and it would run now.... if you knew the name to type in. did you use 'sudo' to install this? [21:41] j_s: i know you can add stuff to it by dragging items in nautilus to the places sidebar [21:42] I am stil astounished by the progress linux has made since Ubuntu has joined the development [21:42] Ubuntu: Astounded or astonished? ;) [21:42] lol [21:42] KimK: you're stuck, reboot, if you want to continue using the live disk, disable the screensaver, I'll get a bug report to the devs today [21:42] :tristan tnx ;_) [21:42] onetinsoldier: nothing in that directory. to install it i double clicked on the setup file and it began installation just like in a windows setting [21:42] I've installed tomcat6&eclipse&WTP and I'm trying to edit runtime environments in eclipse. How to find apache tomcat RTE? [21:42] j_s: let me try something hold up [21:42] airtonix: there should be a user and password already set, it's running from the CD, I just don't know what they are. [21:43] :Tristan Well a stoned ished??? [21:43] histo, yes, I have already done that, but when I reach about 5 items or so, the bookmarks are placed in a new folder inside the places menu. I would therefor like it to have its own menu directly at the gnome panel [21:43] alex-hp: roger. what is this and where'd you get it? perhaps to figure this out, i should install it... [21:43] KimK, no livecd is special in that the ubuntu user does not have a password set. [21:43] Has anyone here performed 9.10 -> 10.04 upgrade on a dual-boot, Win/Ubuntu, machine AND had grub2 properly detect both OSs? [21:43] I've read about problems with this in 10.04 and it is the one issue stopping me from upgrading. [21:43] arch0njw: Yes [21:44] alex-hp, you double clicked it? If it didn't ask for password, it can't have installed outside your home directory. [21:44] zen933k: Any trickery involved in getting the boot menu to work, or did it just work? [21:44] KimK, it seems that gnome-screensaver expects one to be set. [21:44] j_s: i'm not sure if you can add drop down bookmarks in nautilus [21:44] can anyone hold my hand? i installed samba and i see nothing about how to use it to acess my windows machine [21:44] arch0njw: By default it set a 7 second delay with a list. [21:44] j_s: maybe someone else would know [21:44] arch0njw: triple booting osx/win7/ubuntu no problems [21:44] zen933k: groovy. Thanks! [21:44] arch0njw: installed 10.4/win7 dual on netbook with no problems [21:45] onetinsoldier: you can find it at http://www.xilinx.com/tools/designtools.htm, it is a program to program FPGAs for building circuit designs and such, however it is a fairly large program and you have to register on the website to get it [21:45] ral_: Places>Network>windows network [21:45] arch0njw: I've done the setup a few times now. [21:45] acerimmer: wonderful. Thanks! [21:45] ubuntu: Ubuntu doesn't give much to upstream's, so most of the true progress is done else where. [21:45] ral_: access smb:// in the file manager [21:45] ral_, 1) places > network 2) ctrl + l 3) type : smb://ip-of-your-windows-machine [21:45] alex-hp: oh, i see. i'd rather not have to register. otherwise i'd do it [21:45] sooo... just installed b43-fwcutter... [21:45] airtonix & GeekSquid : OK, I'll reboot, I was trying to avoid that because it's a server with a complex set of drives (and maybe empty?) and it takes a long time to boot. So I thought I'd ask here first. But thanks for your help just the same, I appreciate it. And thanks to the devs for 10.04. [21:45] how might I enable the driver to be able to use nm-applet with it? [21:45] dmesg shows it loaded :) [21:45] histo, do you know if there is any way to customize which items to display in the places menu, perhaps? [21:46] j_s: yes its controlled by nautilus bookmarks [21:46] keith_hanson: if that's the case then nm should see it. « iwconfig » shows wlan0 ? [21:46] KimK: best bet, Install so you have a password and all changes are saved [21:46] j-s: left click places, right click edit [21:46] j_s: open your home folder and look int he bookmarks menu. You'll also see the places menu on the left of the home window. Youc an drag and drop folders there. [21:46] keith_hanson, output of : lspci -nn | grep Network [21:46] alex-hp: ok, we can track down what this installer does when you double-click on it, but you'll need to do it from a command line [21:46] erUSUL: unfortunately not. :( [21:46] alex-hp: do you want to do that? [21:46] tnx guys....c-ya [21:46] onetinsoldier: ok, yes that is fine [21:47] alex-hp: ok, hang on [21:47] histo, my places menu at the gnome panel contains much more than the nautilus show - network options and so on [21:47] j_s: you may want to google places menu customizing or asking someone else may know more. [21:47] airtonix: 0b:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 05) [21:47] keith_hanson: sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 && dmesg | tail -n25 [21:47] how do i check correct md5sum of ubuntu iso? [21:47] keith_hanson: pastebin the output [21:47] !!md5sum | yellowroost924 [21:47] yellowroost924: 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 [21:47] j_s: yeah those are created by default somehow. Probably in gconf somewhere [21:47] j_s: like recent documents etc.. [21:47] is xinerama the default system enabled by karmic for dual head, with intel i915 hardware? [21:48] Can you do ubuntu minimal install with a wireless computer or do you need to be on a hard connection. I'm pretty sure my wireless card gained support in kernel 2.6.27. [21:48] sebsebseb: thanks [21:48] erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/NxLqmLb9 [21:48] keith_hanson, pastebin output of : cat /etc/modules [21:48] acerimmer, the edit function the only for the programs and system menu - not the places menu. As far as I can see [21:48] yellowroost924: np [21:48] Hi, I am sort of a newb and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how I can access my modem to see if there is a way I could reset it from ubuntu 10.04. [21:48] keith_hanson, nvm [21:48] airtonix: all it says was lp :) === shishire is now known as Shishire [21:48] M82, internal modem or external? [21:49] Shishire, external [21:49] j_s: ? works perfectly fine on my side??? [21:49] keith_hanson: lloks like it loaded ok... you are sure,. « iwconfig » does not show wlan0 ? [21:49] alex-hp: ok, back. ok. go to the directory where the installed is on command line. lets say the installer is named 'installer' [21:49] Hey, does anyone know how to tell all the folders that your currently sharing? [21:49] erUSUL: one moment [21:49] onetinsoldier: ok [21:49] alex-hp: do --> ./installer > installer.log 2>&1 [21:49] M82, try pointing your browser to either 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.100.1 [21:50] http://pastebin.com/quRDmTis [21:50] erUSUL: ^^ [21:50] Shishire, thank you :D [21:50] acerimmer, when I select the edit menu option, I am only able to edit the items inside the program and system menu. Not the content of the places menu [21:50] Homer_Rox_Ya: You can right click the folder and hit properties. There's a tab labeled "Share". [21:50] j_s: i'm searching gconf but not finding much [21:50] Homer_Rox_Ya, ls /var/lib/samba/usershares/ [21:50] failed to receive share list from server [21:50] alex-hp: then do --> less installer.log and see if you tell where it installed to [21:50] j_s: I'm not sure if places is ubuntu specific or gnome specific [21:50] M82, if your modem has an http interface (most modern modems do), you should get a status page on one of those. [21:50] Homer_Rox_Ya, one file per share defining the share [21:50] keith_hanson: have you disabled the sta drivers ? blacklisted them even ? [21:51] Hello all , I recently changed my display card on my UBuntu 9.10 system and after the change I get no display after the logo for ubuntu comes up . [21:51] erUSUL: haven't blacklisted anything. I did deactivate them through the admin [21:51] erUSUL: how might I blacklist them? :) [21:51] Can you do ubuntu minimal install with a wireless computer? [21:51] j_s: trying to find more information on it for you. [21:52] Oak: are you talking about a net install like the mini.iso ? [21:52] histo: the mini.iso [21:52] j_s, places menu is not editable. [21:52] histo, okay :) I have already tried to google it, but without luck [21:52] onetinsoldier: it tells me no such file or directory [21:52] erUSUL: is there a command where I can see whether or not they are enabled? I also rebooted after uninstalling them, and install the cutter tool and rebooted after that (just to be sure) [21:52] #ubuntu [21:53] histo: if it makes a difference, I know my card gained support from the kernel in ver 2.6.27 [21:53] alex-hp: there's no installer.log file? [21:53] keith_hanson: echo "wl" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-broadcom.conf [21:53] keith_hanson: and reboot [21:53] Oak: last time I tried I don't beleive it supported WPA or something goofy [21:53] airtonix, :( I don't understand why it should be locked to a predefined setup - seems wrong to me [21:53] histo: oh that's a bummer, thanks [21:53] Oak: I think wpa2 passphrase wasn't suported or something. [21:53] onetinsoldier: no, there is not [21:54] :) wish me luck :) [21:54] histo: Do you think they added it for 10.04? [21:54] alex-hp: what happens if you just do ./installer [21:54] Hi there. If and old version of wine is installed on my machine, but apt-get, aptitude, and symantec all think it is not there, how can i remove it? If i try to install a newer version of wine through the ubuntu repos, "wine --version" still reads the old: wine-1.1.17 [21:54] !flash [21:54] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:54] j_s, because its hard coded as part of either : gnome-panel or nautilus [21:54] how do you disable double tab feature? i cant figure it out and it seriously messes me up [21:54] alex-hp: do you get any output at all? [21:54] I am having trouble getting my wireless card into mastermode :( [21:54] hi guy [21:54] s [21:54] Homer_Rox_Ya: in terminal type shares-admin should do it [21:54] j_s: nautilus bookmarks will manage some of this as it seems [21:55] onetinsoldier: i get no output [21:55] someone minid saying my name so I can test a script? [21:55] BinaryMan [21:55] j_s: looks like the recent documents uses a file in home called .recentused or something [21:55] airtonix: (in nautilus menu:) Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks [21:55] does anyone know how to disable double tab? [21:55] alex-hp: what output do you get from the following command --> file installer [21:55] I am having trouble getting my wireless card into mastermode :( [21:55] j_s: .recently-used [21:55] oarion7: much appreciated [21:56] BinaryMan, did it work? :) [21:56] i have a friend who runs Ubuntu Server (Lucid Lynx). after the upgrade, his resolution was very high. how do you change the resolution of the bash shell?

[21:58] I ran an update/upgrade on the Ubuntu on my laptop. It connected to my wireless network (which is setup to require NO password - I live in the middle of nowhere) and downloaded things fine, before the upgrade. Now it seems to think my wireless network wants a password, and as such is unable to connect to said network. Anyone have any suggestions? [21:58] alex-hp: and had this pop-up come up before when you had double-clicked on it? [21:58] has anyone similar pb [21:58] onetinsoldier: ok, so i get xsetup.log (END) after the less installer.log command [21:59] histo: Offhand, do you know if I did the mini.iso and checked ubuntu desktop to be installed, would it be any different from just using the ubuntu official installer? [21:59] onetinsoldier: yes, this is the same installer as when i double clicked it [21:59] my internal voice mic don't work with Ubuntu but my logitech usb one does. is this unusual? [21:59] jean-pierresainf: you probably didn't get a good burned image. [21:59] !minimal | Oak [21:59] Oak: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:59] jean-pierresainf: you probably didn't get a good burned image.

[22:13] Is is this a common problem? [22:13] FriedrichMan: recorded from a stream or from a source? Like actual radio [22:13] sebsebseb, yes [22:13] then i installed windows [22:14] licquor: and now you want to get rid of Windows? [22:14] Where's the jdk in Lucid? [22:14] eye-zak: do i have to do this on the wlan or the eth? [22:14] dopplerdeffect: that's because Mac hardware isn't supported by standard linux anymore. it's now a unofficial community port [22:14] on eth [22:14] tiemonster: openjdk [22:14] extor: correct: http://www.debianadmin.com/recover-data-from-a-dead-hard-drive-using-ddrescue.html [22:14] onetinsoldier: what is the unofficial community port called? [22:14] Where's the Sun JDK in Lucid? [22:14] dopplerdeffect: not sure [22:14] hp: you may need to get network manager to reconnect as well [22:14] !mac [22:14] extor: You could dban it and then dd_rescue to salvage it.

Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy.

[22:15] FriedrichMan: what site, perhaps there is a solution I can come up with [22:15] extor: I think dd_rescue would or should work. did you see the link? [22:15] toyman, open .xpi as a zip archive, extract, translate, re-compress, install [22:15] ahhh, PowerPC, that's it dopplerdeffect [22:16] erUSUL: hm. according to this page, my problems were due to a kernel module called ssb? Do you know what ssb is? (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=914697) [22:16] sebsebseb, for school [22:16] toyman61, open .xpi as a zip archive, extract, translate, re-compress, install [22:16] coachj: i could never get it to download them correctly. i eventually found a better album art displaying media player.. banshee [22:16] I has a crash during upgrade, and I am working from a live cd trying to save all that I can from an installation before reformatting. I am trying to copy the files and it is saying that I don't have permission. I know the reason is because I am not logged on with my username and password because with the live cd you don't log in. So is there a way to get around this so that I can copy the files from my HDD to my external drive? I've read about file per [22:16] licquor: only school? [22:16] facugaich, : That simple ? Wow! [22:16] Vigo, no I'm going to check the link out in a bit. So you are saying it doesnt just do raw disk image dumps but also gets involved in heuristics? [22:16] onetinsoldier: I thought that was for the older macs, this one has the intel 64-bit cpu [22:16] GeekSquid: http://www.fminfinita.com.ar/radio-en-vivo/ this is the site... right now there's nothing on.. [22:16] i can't get my Sound Properties menu back in the panel. [22:16] sebsebseb, mostly [22:16] facugaich: I really mean it!! :-) [22:16] licquor: you don't do 3D WIndows gaming for example?

[22:16] I got Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, using Chromium and I can't get java working could any of you be so kind and help me? :) [22:16] dopplerdeffect: i'm not sure, but that still probably the name to look for [22:16] eye-zak: inet seems to work fine, but unfortunately the ps3 cannot find the media server anymore then [22:16] coachj: i do not know, i do not have an ipod [22:16] sebsebseb, lol not to my knowledge [22:16] timposey: create a user and group with the same uid/gid as your original user or do stuff as root [22:17] licquor: ok good [22:17] toyman61, actually, if you're talking about add-ons rather than extensions, it's not that smple [22:17] licquor: right so you could re install Windows onto a dual boot, but having to boot out of Ubuntu to boot up WIndows, is a bit sucky really [22:17] onetinsoldier, dopplerdefect, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/mactel maybe? [22:17] licquor: got a Windows 7 CD? [22:17] toyman61, did you mean add-on as in flash 9 or extension as in AdBlock [22:17] facugaich, : It's extension (xpi's) [22:17] licquor: CD/DVD [22:17] facugaich: I mean add-ons with extension .xpi [22:17] I cant install ubuntu from a usb stick. All i get on restart is "verifying dmi... boot error [22:17] sebsebseb, i have windows xp professional [22:17] cd [22:18] hp: the issue is with the routes, i'm not sure exactly how best to set this up with networkmanager [22:18] coachj: i just installed ifuse and that made it to where I could mount my iPod touch... fhythmbox and nautilus works good with it .... don't know about banshee [22:18] licquor: you said you had Windows 7?

[22:18] Hi! :) I want to set or know more about my console resolution on a command line system (no X). vbeinfo in grub2 command line 800x600x32 as the highest resolution. When logged in sudo fbset shows a "1024x600" mode. How do I know which mode is used? How do I make it available in grub2 when vbeinfo doesn't show it? [22:18] extor: you've checked out most of the tools. The only one you haven't mentioned is EAESUS, which is a pain to use because although it works on ext2/ext3 it has to be run from windows (and it costs money). I don't think dd_rescue will to what you want... [22:18] sebsebseb, i have windows xp professional and have a new one on cd [22:18] toyman61, k, so yeah, they are a bunch of text files in a zip archive, you can read about the file structure of FF extensions then extract the .xpi and identify that which needs translating [22:19] licquor: what you could do is virtual machine WIndows inside UBuntu, works well for well most apps, not 3D ones probably though, well that would depend on hadware and so on [22:19] sebsebseb, think i installed a bad copy [22:19] coachj: rhythmbox [22:19] licquor: then you can use both OS's like that, and it's pretty awesome really [22:19] licquor: virtual machines :) [22:19] facugaich, : OK. Thanks! [22:19] sebsebseb, i have that already [22:19] FriedrichMan: unfortunatly that is a ustream.tv embedded stream, so the only way to record it is to connect to the output of your computer and record it on another computer or tape, or cd or other recording medium [22:19] licquor: oh ok [22:19] licquor: so your doing XP inside Ubuntu already? [22:19] dbum: rythumbox work great with it. But rythumbox has trouble with album art [22:20] sebsebseb, yes i am [22:20] licquor: however you still want Windows 7 on a dual boot, instead of in a vm? [22:20] Loshki, what about that one proggy given out by the USAF under GNU? [22:20] sebsebseb, just installed it yesterday [22:20] Vigo, isn't dban a data nuking proggy? [22:20] FriedrichMan: however, they record their shows and past shows are available here http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fm-infinita-live [22:20] sebsebseb, correct [22:20] licquor: Why not do 7 in a vm as well? [22:20] coachj: you can always install banshee to test it out.. [22:20] sebsebseb, but its windows xp pro [22:20] extor: http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/48092 and http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/114334-dban.html [22:21] sebsebseb, i dont have win 7 i have win xp pro [22:21] FriedrichMan: if you're streaming flash, the temporary file appears in your /tmp folder. Can be copy/saved from there. Used to do that with ytube until firefox came up with the add-on [22:21] licquor: ok [22:21] bastid_raZor correct [22:21] <_ikke_> sebsebseb: i will try it later. im now on my phone. [22:21] extor: Sorry, dunno. EASEUS is the only one I've used, and I had good luck with it. What's the USAF one called? [22:21] licquor: so you want XP Pro on a dual boot as well, not just in a vm? [22:21] sebsebseb, im actually a student in learning [22:21] oi. yeah. Just gonna have to use my usb dongle I suppose :) [22:21] eye-zak: playe a bit on the settings and it finally runs. thank you so much for your help! had been looking on google for half an hour without even a hint.. [22:21] sebsebseb, right [22:21] extor: Yes, nuke it then start fresh and no bugs, or use the Debian Recovery Console or utilities. [22:21] licquor: right ok [22:21] coachj: oh. ok... I don't think my rhythmbox has any problems with Album art... [22:21] licquor: thing is... [22:21] coachj: if you do, please let us know how well banshee does. [22:22] sebsebseb, i forgot which partition is which [22:22] I cant install from a usb stick. All i get on start up is "verifying dmi pool data... Boot error [22:22] sebsebseb, how can or do i know which one is windows and which is ubuntu [22:22] licquor: well normalley people say install Windows first before Ubuntu, because if you put Windows on after woulds, it will go over the part of Grub/2 that's in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of the computer [22:22] hp: what exactly did you do - i need to do this later [22:22] bastid_raZor i will r u here a lot? [22:22] licquor: first little section of the hard disk [22:22] GeekSquid: you're the coolest ever [22:22] eye-zak: I have tried using sudo but nothing works using sudo, when I try to make another user name with the same id, it will let me do that but when I try to switch to that user name it comes back the login screen but there is a message in front of the login screen that says Authentication failed. and I can't log in under the user name. [22:22] Loshki, I donno what the USAF one is called but it has forensic capability and was partly funded by some infosys-crypto agency too(not the NSA) and is now available to the public amazingly. I think ubuntu has the package too but the name escapes me. [22:22] FriedrichMan: thanks, I know [22:22] Does btnx work properly in the latest Ubuntu release? [22:23] licquor: oh Grub or Grub 2, can be re installed after woulds to the MBR, however that won't be that easy [22:23] coachj: just include my name in your message. i'll see it [22:23] dbum: is all your music from one source? [22:23] K [22:23] Vigo, hold on, you are telling me to secure erase all the data on the partition I am trying to recover data from? [22:23] sebsebseb, so its easier just to redo the whole thing [22:23] licquor: plus if you only doing Windows in a vm you get a nice securit advantage, that way if you get infected with a virus or something, oh well just delete the vm like a normal file, and you can easily use a clean copy. [22:23] licquor: typo up there, security [22:23] What is a good network util able to be run in gnome and console ? [22:23] eye-zak: I routed the static ip of the eth at the gateway ip of my wlan router and checked the setting below, then it worked [22:23] need help quick [22:24] licquor: it's probably better for you to just do Windows in a vm inside Ubuntu really, unless you do really need a pshyical install for something [22:24] diabolical: iptraf [22:24] projector isnt working with 10.4 [22:24] erUSUL: Thanks again for all the help :) [22:24] I have to present in 5 mins [22:24] extor: No, use the recovery dd_rescue or something like it, then I personally would nuke it and start fresh with any data saved.

[22:57] Vadtec: not boot up [22:57] craigbass1976: doesn't that conflict with what you said earlier about apache related things in those directories I listed? [22:57] ...is my guess.

[23:17] roberto__, hmmm idk then may be not support or named under language idk , i use chinese and jap ime only ';p ? [23:17] My wireless card requires the Broadcom STA driver. Unfortunately, the only network connection I have is wireless. Manually downlaoding the deb package in Windows and putting it on a flash drive so I can install it on Ubuntu doesn't look possible because of the number of dependencies. I have a huawei e5830 mobile broadband mifi dongle but I can't get ubuntu to recognise it using usb. Any ideas? [23:17] @LinuxPhreak, It works in Firefox but I don't like it much, is there a way to enable it in chromium? [23:17] ChromiumChris: don't quote me on the chrome thing [23:18] how to use keyboard shortcuts inside application with ubuntu? [23:18] I'm not sure. You'll have to find a flash plugin from the web that is made for chrome [23:19] MK [23:19] Kine, I was able to get 64bit Java working with Chromium - see details at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java [23:19] LinuxPhreak: ChromiumChris: I've been using Flash+chrome for awhile now. Just the regular defaults [23:19] mk* [23:19] ChogyDan: How? [23:19] but Im not 32bit [23:19] skruigner: Which keyboard shortcuts? You asked the question before, and if you answered me, I must have missed it. [23:19] *but im on 32bit [23:19] skruigner: are you talking about Ctrl + s = save. Stuff like that? [23:19] skruigner: I'm quite sure someone else answered your question, too. [23:19] icedwater: what is the filesystem of the usb [23:19] it just occured to me [23:20] i might be on 64-bit.... [23:20] wildbat: one other question - the other way to do this is to add a keyboard in preferences. but it feels like overkill. Do you know if the keyboards added that way are XKB keyboards? or how I can add 1 dead key to my current keyboard? === Noob`s is now known as McPeter [23:20] hi everyone [23:20] i have an applicathin (game) in with keyboard don't work [23:20] ChromiumChris: do uname -m I believe [23:20] keyboard don't work with playing application [23:21] LinuxPhreak: I get X86_64.

Is it only that one? [23:21] pastebin [23:21] your running 64 bit then [23:21] ohhh [23:21] No wonder.... [23:21] roberto__, not that i know of sorry ~ i ain't guru [23:21] nope can't map my shortcut , keyboarb is compleatly disabled [23:21] is there a flash file for x64? [23:22] ChromiumChris: yes [23:22] where can I find a standalone version of jaunty's grub legacy? the grub legacy package included in lucid and karmic does not support the uuid command. jaunty's does. and uuid command was very helpful [23:22] yea there are no keyboard layout files in /etc/X11/xkb :S [23:22] I believe the way flash works with 64 bit on ff is it use xurunner [23:22] ChromiumChris: /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [23:22] or something with name like that [23:23] robert__, try Spanish channel? they must know about it ^^b [23:24] supongo q sí :) [23:24] ChromiumChris: If I'm not mistaken it makes 32 bit plugins compatible with 64 bit [23:24] robert__, hehe what it means?

[23:57] airtonix: i don't think i configured compiz yet. [23:57] dto, or with system > preferences > keyboard [23:57] dto, when compiz is running, you need to set up the switching in compizconfig [23:57] ok.

[23:58] dto: ok, so know go to: System > Apparence > Visual Effects and chose None, know after boot it should work always with out run metacity [23:58] it's installed. [23:58] onetinsoldier, that's a nice one, but I have ubuntu dual booted on a MacBook, and I'd rather the linux end didn't look anything at all like OS X :) [23:58] dto: then you can use compiz again [23:58] Hi all, i have just fresh installed Ubuntu 10.4 and i tried to make my partition table ( /boot 512 MB, /home 109 GB, / 10 Gb and a swap) When i run fdisk i get this report with a problem on the first partition http://pastebin.com/0sGtKs6d How to fix this?

[23:58] :-D [23:58] I'm looking for some packages that I had in 9.10 ... but cannot find in 10.04 ... is there a web page that lists old packages and what now replaces them or their name change? [23:58] icepeda: ok brb [23:59] Lxndr: You may want to try Bennix. It ships with thunderbird by defualt. Bennix is built off of Ubuntu [23:59] here /dev/sda1 is / dev/sda2 is extended /dev/sda5 is swap [23:59] jsec: ahh, i see! don't blame you there. i think it's cool as heck looking... much due to the fact, i've never had a mac ;-) [23:59] FYI, I'm doing a fresh install of 10.04, not an upgrade from 9.10, but trying to get all the same extra packages installed [23:59] jrib: sorry? do you mean, the script? no, it does not start aMule [23:59] Skaperen, repartition it with gparted [23:59] hi i installed wubi on to windows7 and tried to reboot but all i get is "grub rescue" error: unknown filesystem [23:59] how can i find out where my usb drive is? [23:59] onetinsoldier, and now that my warranty has expired, this will be my last :D [23:59] jsec: oh, roger [23:59] wildbat: I'm not the one with the partition issue [23:59] I've lost grub after installing windows 7 on a partition. Then I reinstalled 9.10 on another partition to restore it. I have Grub, but it doesn't load Windows 7. Can I get grub to load it without having to reinstall 7? [23:59] Cyclist2: I mean use a while loop like I said. What did you try?
