PolemusCoppermine: i am not sure how00:00
onetinsoldierSlasher`: roger.. good luck00:00
rem11are both problems a bug?00:00
rem11or just the crap logo00:00
duffydackrem11, i only see it for 1 second anyway so its not a problem00:00
Slasher`onetinsoldier; i'll need it haha, thanks00:00
CopperminePolemus: i only know for nvidia, u have nvidia or what gpu?00:00
duffydackrem11, that page has the fix00:00
kwtm2z3ro3x: Not sure how to answer your question, but I have one for you: how do you restart Xorg?  What key combo?00:00
newbie_Is there any reason why a KDE session shouldnt work when i select it at ubuntus login screen? Its just a big black nothing00:00
z3r0-c001How do I USB boot from a mac00:00
xeer0Does someone have a clue about why my xvideo scaling stopped working from 9.10 to 10.04? I use Ati HD240000:00
rem11i can live with the logo, the main issue is the inability to control the backlight with the nvidia drivers00:00
Jon-jrib: Why is it everytime I want to do ONE small thing in Ubuntu, it takes a day?00:00
rem11not even my function brightness keys work00:00
PolemusCoppermine: yes i have nvidia00:00
z3ro3xkwtm2, I used System Monitor to kill xorg.00:00
jribJon-: because it's fun!00:01
Jon-jrib: FYI it's #videolan by the way.00:01
onetinsoldierSlasher`: i know how you feel :-)00:01
jribJon-: ah00:01
tomhome21i just installed compiz-fusion and it screwed up everything. it got rid of all the hotkeys (not even in the menu anymore) and wont let me use the effects tab in appearance. how can i get this corrected without reinstalling the whole os?00:01
CopperminePolemus: open terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings00:01
david_brentkwtm2: you can set the ctrl-alt-bcksp at preferences keyboard->layout->layout options00:01
domjohnsong'night00:01
CopperminePolemus: u should be able to config it all there :)00:01
Jon-jrib: A good 190 users vs... 4. :P00:01
Slasher`tomhome21; try pressing alt+f2 and typing "metacity --replace" without the quotes00:01
kwtm2Jon-: Because, although Ubuntu is riddled with problems, each of these problems are considered "small" by the developers because they know how to get around it easily.  Unfortunately, they don't see that, for most people who don't know how to get around this, the problems can be showstoppers.00:01
z3ro3xkwtm2, It's in System -> Administration.  When it opens click View -> All Processes.00:02
histobastid_raZor: yeah it should be around 6.5MB/s00:02
josvukWhat does link quality:0 signal level:0 in iwconfig mean? Does my wireless device don't recieves a signal from a other wifi device?00:02
kwtm2david_brent: Umm... if I have a completely blank screen that I can't use (which is why I need to restart), what key combo can I use without having to use the GUI which has become unusable?00:02
Jon-kwtm2: Can't agree more. I'm in second year computer science but because I am a command prompt guru but bad with BASH/xterm and a Linux environment, I get my shit tossed like a grandma ;O00:02
leagrisAnyone can help with sound input in wine as it worked in Karmic but no longer show alsa wave input device in Lucid?00:02
kwtm2z3ro3x: Thanks for reply.  I am using Kubuntu; different menu system.00:02
PolemusCoppermine: sudo: nvidia-settings: command not found00:02
histojosvuk: what kind of wireless card do you have?00:03
david_brentkwtm2: just restart gdm00:03
histojosvuk: and when you are connected you should see a link quality and signal noise level.00:03
david_brentsudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart00:03
xeer0kwtm2: Well put. Although Ubuntu has improved alot, it still has a long way to go to become as easy to use as Windows if you're not a IT-dude. On the other hand, Windows has viruses and all sorts of malware, which noobs get anyway00:03
onetinsoldierkwtm2: you should be able to get to a virtual console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 or, F2, F3, ect00:03
z3ro3xkwtm2, I don't remember, I haven't used KDE in a while.  I switched to Gnome about the same time KDE 4 came out.00:03
Coppermineanyone here to help me plz00:04
PolemusCoppermine: Could it be because it's busy downloading the nvidia 3d driver?00:04
tomhome21metacity replace worked, but it wont let me put the effects on medium00:04
Jon-jrib: Gotta eat dinner. Tans00:04
tomhome21if i do, it kills the hotkeys again00:04
kwtm2david_brent: Thanks for info.  How do I restart GDM?  Kill GDM?  I actually have a second instance of the GUI running (with Ctrl-Alt-F8) but am trying to restart the main instance (Ctrl-Alt-F7)00:04
josvukhisto: one is build in the apple g4 the other is build into the playstation3 runing linux, must I log in to activate the wireless on the playsttion00:04
histojosvuk: you have to change the settings for the wireless yes00:05
kwtm2z3ro3x: I hear ya.  I'm just switching to KDE4 now myself after clinging to KDE3.  Disappointing, to say the least.00:05
david_brentkwtm2: just type to a terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"00:05
histojosvuk: depending on the card you may need firmware as well. But that would show in restricted drivers manager00:05
CopperminePolemus: yes, otherwise u can install it using sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings00:05
duffydackalt+sysrq+k ?00:05
duffydackto restart gdm..00:05
octologhow do I change default save fornat for abiword?00:05
kwtm2david_brent: GOod idea!  I'll do that with KDM (which is what I'm using) but isn't there just a different key combo that they replaced Cltr-Alt-Bkspace with?  It's Ctrl-Alt-F29 or something like that.00:05
z3ro3xkwtm2, I didn't see your previous messages.  I didn't see the blank screen comment.  In that case you can hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 to get you to the shell.00:06
PolemusCoppermine: thanx... will shout if i struggle :)00:06
krabadorwhen i shutdown/restart Lucid, i've some hard audio cracks, to the speaker, all pulseaudio volumes are less than 50%, how can i solve it?00:06
david_brentkwtm2: oh then restart kdm00:06
z3r0-c001Can I boot from disk on a mac to install Linux00:06
CopperminePolemus: good luck, but u have nvidia so it should all work out fine00:06
Monotokoz3r0-c001, yeah i believe so00:06
z3r0-c001How00:07
z3ro3xkwtm2, Log on your account name then type sudo killall Xorg00:07
PolemusCoppermine: after that... i am gonna sit trying to get my 3rd monitor to work... :)00:07

jpt9Hey.  I'm having an odd problem with eSpeak on Ubuntu 9.10.  Whenever I have it read something using the command line espeak program, or set Orca to use GNOME Speech Services, it talks extremely fast/distorted, and isn't at all understandable.  However, if I switch Orca to Speech Dispatcher (the default) it works fine.  Any idea what's going on?  Generating wave files from espeak via the command line works fine.  I don't really care about Orca, but I'd like t00:19
_micahFinboySlick: odd. Could you do me a favor and: cat /etc/apt/sources.list00:19

x-ip_dpratt71, look with lspci wich chipset do u have00:32

niko-mojoHi room - when I boot my machine sometimes the Ubuntu splash screen goes really blurry. Think its resolution related. Not sure though. Only recently installed Karmic as a dual boot  . Thoughts ?00:43
MikeChelenNarya: it should appear there automatically, sometimes logout and login will help refresh it00:43
Savage308ZykotiK9: Well... Not exactly. theres no minimize button and I'm not gonna run it in windowed mode.00:44
MikeChelenCoppermine: try system -> admin -> hardware drivers? dunno that card00:44
CoppermineMikeChelen: MikeChelen dxr3.sourceforge.net/ was the linux drivers00:44

dpratt71is there any reasonable troubleshooting or configuration I can try while I don't have a network connection at all under Ubuntu?00:47
onetinsoldierNarya: you can use 'dpkg'. for example.... dpkg -l <package_name> | grep bin00:47

krazykrivda(1st time on ubuntu) i'm dual booting... and trying to set up a shared partition for media.. is there a specific partition type?00:47
MikeChelenCoppermine: try searching ubuntuforums.org for the video card name?00:48
foxmulder881niko-mojo: so try installing the radeon drivers. That should fix your resolution issues. Hopefully. ;-)00:48
pfifook this is really messed up, i have an audio cd  in my cdrom drive but cannot access it through /dev/cdrom, Ive always used /dev/cdrom for as long as i can remember. but seeing as this is an audio CD it appears to be a different situation. what is happening?00:48
MikeChelenNarya: try the command "which" from terminal, like "which firefox"00:48

niko-mojofoxmulder881 - the radeon drivers for ubuntu you mean (sounds like a stupid question) . Are they easy to find ?00:49
Naryaonetinsoldier: that worked wonderfully thank you00:49
onetinsoldierNarya: you can use 'dpkg'. for example.... dpkg -L <package_name> | grep bin00:49
MikeChelenNarya: it is supposed to00:49
dpratt71can someone explain the differences between the two driver choices I am given for my wireless card (Broadcom)?00:49
CoppermineMikeChelen: did that too, aswell as google for a good hour :p00:49
onetinsoldierNarya: you're welcome.. cheers :-)00:49
dpratt71is one more reliable than the other?00:49
pfifoplease help, this has been a major headache for me over the last 6 months00:49
foxmulder881niko-mojo: Check Google. Keywords "Ubuntu 9.10 radeon drivers install".00:50
justin22885so, does anyone know of a good program on ubuntu that uses the desklet/applets?00:50
NaryaMikeChelen, let me try again hold on00:50
krazykrivdai'm dual booting... and trying to set up a shared partition for media.. is there a specific partition type?00:50
niko-mojothx foxmulder881 - the truth is out there :-)00:50
foxmulder881niko-mojo: if I had exact linky, I'd post it. Sorry, but I don't.00:51
MikeChelenCoppermine: it looks like that driver is the best bet, the install process looks difficult though00:51
pfifohow can i copy an audio cd from the command line?00:51
krazykrivdawhat is NTFS partition vs an exFAT partition?00:51
foxmulder881pfifo: you mean copy it or rip it?00:52
CoppermineMikeChelen: and really outdated so what do i do with my questions about compiler errors haha, bet i'd better go win 98 with the drivers they offer00:52
pfifoOR how can i copy an audio cd with only a single mouse click? my mom is an areobics instructor and cannot handle copying her cds with linux if it requires more than 2 clicks of the mouse00:52
RambJoehow can i make windows resize in like real time instead of seeing that rectangle please?00:52
MikeChelenCoppermine: ubuntu should be able to run without special drivers, only 3d won't work00:52
foxmulder881pfifo: if it's not copy-protected, just use Brasero.00:52
foxmulder881pfifo: or wodim.00:53
duffydackpfifo, thats all it is..  right click, copy00:53
pfifobasero is way way WAY~!~ too complex for my mom's 30 iq points00:53
duffydackpfifo, if its too much to right click make iso, right click iso, burn.. then good luck in windows.00:53
justin22885how do i configure compiz on gnome? it says its installed by default00:54
CoppermineMikeChelen: im not using 3d im on a pentium 3.... i just want my pci videocard working,l even if it is my pci vga instead of my onboard vga that would give some spark of hope00:54

CoppermineMikeChelen: works fine, and shows it on my onboard vga out not on my pci vga out00:55
yoyonedpfifo: if you are witing a script, there are CLI cd ripping tools.  one I remember is abcde00:55
pfifothe ricght click and copy dosent work cause it tries to dump 700MB of data into /tmp which only has 40mb available00:56

ZykoticK9Coppermine, so "intel corp 82815" is your graphics card - are you using Lucid?  I believe there may be some issue with 8xxxx series01:12
justin22885this compiz keeps referring to a "super" button... what are they talking about?01:12
Merlinthe one you set as the super button01:12
ZykoticK9justin22885, super = windows (not in real life)01:12

crdlbWage: either that or kill the nofication-daemon process01:55
mgolischroberto_: now localhost should work again hopefully01:55
ezrafreeeAnyone who can tell me how to update my logitech mx5000 drivers?01:55
JammetWage: Yes, use notify-send to send any text to that thing.01:55
acerimmerabstrakt: chekc out the "digital media" book.  It's got links to some "created by ubuntu" media01:56
luciano_acerimer: this black list isnt something set by apt, itself? I should read more about it, but didnt do it yet01:56
roberto_mgolisch: yea it does :) thank you.01:56
mattucfapparently from a quick google search I guess you have to somehow identify a correct driver for your hardware? I am very unsure where to start but very willing to try and have moderate to advanced windows knowledge01:56
shortRadio-b: can I change the permission on that file to 777 to unlock it?01:56
JammetIf I find some kind of package related bug in current Ubuntu, to whom do I mail this information? Or tell'em right here?01:56

Pelomarkus_, the notification zone icon is there, i'Musing the new 10.04,  should be somewhere toward the bottom of the list,  it might just be nogify or somethign similar, I'm not sure of the english name I'm using a french version ,   "zone de notification" translates roughly as notification zone,  you might want to try restarting,  you might just have hidden it somehow,02:37

abstraktthat works fine03:17
bazhangNecrosporus, please stay on topic03:17
abstraktnow, for the audio capturing03:17
abstraktalso, any ideas how to stream something live to the computer "while" it's recording?03:17
zetheroogreezmunkey: mine says Powered On: 44.9 days ... does that mean it's 44.9 days old?03:17
Necrosporusbazhang, which topic?03:17
Zburatorulyou need to add an .xml file in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/03:17
bazhangNecrosporus, ubuntu support.03:17

kpear78hi how do i install wubi03:18
nixboxi am running lucid lynx, and have a laptop with atheros wireless card (using ath5k drivers), for some reason, network manager does not connect automatically to the wireless network I have configured, it only connects when i manually select the network from the list03:18
michael1982is it worth it upgrading to 10.0403:18
sebsebsebmichael1982: browse Software Centre and/or  Synaptic for games03:18
acerimmerabstrakt: yeah03:18
kpear78every time i restart just automaticlt loads xp03:18
sebsebsebmichael1982: yes and no, depends what you want to do, and what version you are on03:18
abstraktacerimmer, heh, yeah to what now?03:18

zetheroowhats this? "$echo -e \\033c = Ctrl L, Alt + F9 =???"   bambang PM'ed me with this ... :P03:19
coolbtkI'm going to ask one more time, since Necrosporus obviously wants to help me by convincing me to switch to another distro... I did a network upgrade from 9.10 Netbook Remix to 10.04 LTS this morning on my Acer Aspire One D150. All my sound settings still look the same in PulseAduio and ALSA. I had sound before, I have none now. The PulseAudio level meters show that sound is at least getting that far, and it detects my sound card, bu03:19
abstraktacerimmer, lol wtf?03:19
abstraktacerimmer, text?03:19
frmdstryrcan someone help me getting to the #python room?03:19
sebsebsebkpear78: make sure Wubi is removed, before doing such an install though03:20
abstraktacerimmer, what do you mean by text creations?03:20
acerimmerabstrakt: books, manuals, flyers, folders.03:20
roberto_how do I get the page up/page down keys to work in gedit ?03:20
bazhang!register > frmdstryr03:20
ubottufrmdstryr, please see my private message03:20
roberto_I mean the gnome ternminal03:20
acerimmerabstrakt: i.e. i haven't yet created my film or music materpiece03:20
abstraktroberto_, you switch to gvim instead :P03:20
frmdstryris your keyboard layout correct03:20
cyrus_mcI just updated to 10.04. In my fstab I have an NFS mount. Sometimes the end point is not turned on and with this versino of Ubuntu it stops the boot process and asks me to skip or wait, anyway to get around that?03:20
abstraktacerimmer, uhhh, ok do you run ubuntu studio?03:20
roberto_abstrakt: lol03:20
bambangin shell, Ctrl + L is  "$echo -e \\033c", Alt + F9 =???03:21
roberto_how do I get the page up/page down keys to work in the gnome terminal ?03:21
acerimmerabstrakt: studio had the tools that plain ubuntu did not.03:21
abstraktroberto_, when you say "work"03:21
Necrosporuscoolbtk, not really, I just offer you one of possible solution... But if you like ubuntu, it's better to stay on it, because on other distro you will get other problems03:21
abstraktroberto_, what do you want them to do?03:21
Necrosporusprobably03:21
abstraktacerimmer, do you run studio?03:21
acerimmerabstrakt: everyday03:22
abstraktacerimmer, and what tools were those?03:22
roberto_abstrakt: oo, I mean I guess they do work .. right now they play a drum sound.  but I'd like to scroll up the lines in the buffer instead :)03:22
Necrosporuscoolbtk, try to disable pulse audio daemon03:22
acerimmerabstrakt: sribus for one03:22
Necrosporus/etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop or somehing03:22
abstraktacerimmer, you mean scribus?03:22
abstraktacerimmer, i don't think i have the real time kernel installed03:23
acerimmerabstrakt: yes.03:23
abstraktacerimmer, how can i find out if i have the realtime kernel installed...03:23
acerimmerabstrakt: new kernel will show up in the grub menu at boot03:23
roberto_abstrakt: uname -a I would guess shows rt if it is the rt kernel ?03:23
acerimmerabstrakt: linux - kernel - yada yada "rt"03:23
abstraktacerimmer, yeah i don't have that at boot03:24
abstraktacerimmer, i made a note when you asked me to reboot03:24
abstraktacerimmer, and uname -a doesn't report an "rt" kernel either03:24
=== nikolam_ is now known as nikolam
abstraktacerimmer, synaptic finds an rt-kernel image03:24
acerimmerabstrakt: what method did you use to install stuio03:24
zetheroohow can I tell if the version of Virtual Box I have installed is the 64bit version or not?03:24
abstraktacerimmer, but it's not installed03:24
ouyeshi all when i try to make a makefile there are errors but i have all the requirements,glibc 2.4 pthreads,libxml2(i use sudo apt-get install glibc, but it can not find it ) what is wrong?03:24
acerimmerabstrakt: what method did you use to install studio?03:24
abstraktacerimmer, i just installed the ubuntustudio-desktop package from synaptic03:25
Klickhi03:25
acerimmerabstrakt: wiait 103:25
Klickis there a program in ubuntu to compile several flash video files into one?03:25
crypt-0avidemux should do it Klick03:26
coolbtkwow. I feel like an idiot now. Apparently all I had to do was switch the output to the speakers... I didn't have the option to switch between the speakers and the jack before, now i do.03:26
abstraktacerimmer, k03:26
acerimmerabstrakt: any new applications??03:26

bazhangtrystan, need to take all steps, no skipping version03:28
* abstrakt wonders if he needs to run those as root as well03:28
onetinsoldierouyes: i'd guess that you don't have the header files installed, the -dev packages for the libs03:28
abstrakti had to run kino as root to get it to work03:28
acerimmerabstrakt: just checking.  It's possible that synaptic missed some packages.  Wait one for cli03:28

trystani mean, i know i should have back ups03:30
kprav33nI figured out why my volume control icon disappeared after upgrade. It is now merged with the indicator applet.03:30
bazhangtrystan, keep backups of course :)03:30
MarquisDeMizzleafter upgrading to 10.04 my /etc/hosts file is getting replaced by NetworkManager on every reboot.  anyone seen something similar?03:31
trystanbazhang - of course.  but i shouldn't need them... should i?03:31
acerimmerabstrakt: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt03:31

ubuntitudehey, guys, i have a weird issue: when i reactivate out of screensaver, the screen will momentarily light up before fading again, and then re-activate, and appear normal, however, the keyboard becomes disabled for whatever application i had pulled up when the screensaver appeared. Any ideas how to remedy this?04:56
anthonyyes i install it already04:56
anthonycan i buckup what i install already04:56
histoanthony: well if the applications are installed from the repos all will be there when you upgrade04:56
histoanthony: if you've downloaded debs and source code those won't be.04:57
primetimehisto:  just want to make sure that my comp should be able to run 10.04 right?04:57
DanDareubuntitude, not sure but I think you can start disabling any visual effects for a troubleshoot. You think it may be good ?04:57
histoprimetime: possible kind of have to figure otu what the issue is first to make that assumption04:57
theadminhisto: Uh, they will. Updates don't delete anything. They might break em, though.04:57
anthonyyou mean i can't buckup what i install already04:57
ubuntitudeDanDare: I'll try that; now that i think of it, this first started happening when i enabled some stuff in compizconfig.04:57
DanDareubuntitude, i had some issues with 1 mouse button not responding... i think it was a compiz problem04:57
Corrineyou can backup the settings04:58
histotheadmin: anthony well thats what i mean dependencies etc.. might be broken with updates of packages that were installed from source.04:58
theadminanthony: You can't back up the apps themselves, yes.04:58
histoCorrine: settings for what?04:58
Corrinethe apps he wants to back up04:58
histoCorrine: settings are usually all in /home for user specific stuff.04:58
highonbienM04:58
CorrineUm, yes, thats what I'm talking about04:58
histoCorrine: global settings are in /etc/ most likely thsoe won't be deleted by an upgrade04:58

kwtm2Hi.  I have Kubuntu 8.04 installed.  What's the easiest way to upgrade to 10.04 if I can't burn a CD?  Will "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" consider 8.04 a LTS version and jump directly to 10.04?05:58

Gneachet: it almost sounds like you installed the nvidia driver from nvidia.com itself, but yeah, maybe I misunderstood06:26
chetmy specific laptop, the samsung x460-44g has some issues with brightness controls. the brightness applet doesnt work, xgamma DOES work, but it just washes out colors and doesnt touch the backlight. nvidia settings does the same as xgamma. power management display brightness had no effect. after editing xorg.conf the power management slider works.06:27

bullgard4silv3r_m00n: The tool that you should use, is GParted. You can reach your goal in 2 steps. 1.) Enlarge your partition to the right. 2.) Shrink your partition from the left.06:33
karma_police_i'm sorry.. i'm just tired and frustrated is all.. i know a lot of this is from me being a noob.. just gets old is all06:33
xeer0karma_police_: You are correct. On the other hand, I've used WIndows for 7 years, yet in the couple of months with linux I realized how little I know about computers. I think the learnings is fun too ... but I understand that many doesn't, and until Linux is as much install-and-forget as windows or mac osx, it'll have a marginal market share06:33
Gneachet: that might help narrow the problem down a bit more. it might just be that there's a new routine for samsung's hardware that nvidia needs to address06:33

mannyvkarma_police_, after spending the last 5 hours trying to get lucid server to boot I can TOTALLY relate to you06:35

silv3r_m00nI installed ubuntu on the first partition , and now need to install windows , is that possible ?06:39
Gartralsilv3r_m00n: thats still a bad idea.. think of the liklyhood of a specific partition randomly failing versus if the entire disk fails.. which happens all too often06:39
karma_police_its better to install windows first06:39

Gartralsilv3r_m00n: yes.. just a pain06:40
dacsSandGorgon: that sucks :)06:40
xeer0silv3r_m00n: Yes, but grub will be overwritten, so you'll need to fiddle with a live usb or cd afterwards06:40

silv3r_m00nya I shall get back grub using a live cd06:40
PlayXis in the kdenlive a bug? i have white stripe in all of my videos06:40
SandGorgonsilv3r_m00n, it is preferable that you install windows first... since it wipes out the multiboot. But if you install windows now - you'll have boot once with a livecd to write grub to your boot partition and get multiboot back06:40
karma_police_brb06:41
Gneachet: I'm not sure, have you tried to see if there are any alternative brightness-type controls for the gui?06:41
Gartralsilv3r_m00n: it;s just one extra step06:41
SandGorgonis there a way to get a plymouth theme that behaves like usplash - simple, no KMS and still looks good on my 1280x800 laptop ?06:41

svscvsczhengshi, because what I run on it works06:49
zhengshioh i see06:49
svscvsczhengshi, there is an audio issue with later versions, so I have a script that works on this version06:50
svscvscIt's not like its my damn ($#*& computer06:50
svscvscits a machine on a box that sits in a room06:50
svscvscso why do I care06:50
svscvscI care that i get two idiotic repsonses06:50
zhengshiOh I see06:50
datacrusherhello everyone. i got a pc with windows xp installed, and started an installation with ubuntu 10.04, but my cd for some reason got corrupted. i went with 9.10 desktop boot to install and upgrade, but its not finding my disks on the partitons part of the installation06:50
svscvscWow Gartral you posted a trigger, good one06:50
Gartralsilv3r_m00n: no.. Linux describes a MASSIVE range of hundred of seperate flavors or distributions.. i use windows for gaming, and keep a FAT32 "bitlocker" partition. or just inject from linux into windows (as theres no etx4 driver for windows yet, i cant go vise-versa)06:50
zhengshiI am sorry06:50
svscvscAnyway, there is a 40406:50
mossiWhat would be the exact command if i would wan't to connect to my wlan named "Penttila"06:50
svscvscseems fairly obvious some issue with the server unless there is something local that can cause that.06:50
svscvscI'll switch mirrors06:50
Gartralsvscvsc: Hardy is EOL, you cant update anymore, you have to grab an alternat install cd06:51
silv3r_m00nwhat is FAT32 "bitlocker" partition ?06:51
zhengshianyone use Gentoo? I have strong interest in it06:51
Gartralsilv3r_m00n: a partition thats formatted to fat32.. names bitlocker :P06:51
silv3r_m00nfirefox isn't following the font setting of gnome06:52
silv3r_m00nwhy?06:52
chetbitlocker is a vista and windows 7 encryption thing i think06:52
silv3r_m00nhow do I fix it ?06:52

aioobeYes.07:00
red2kicsilv3r_m00n: I'm just saying... is all. You can fix KDE font issues. I use GNOME. You can ask somebody here or #kubuntu or maybe #kde too.  Backup your data and work. Also, see !home (in future, it's easier to have home on different partition (or hard drive even).07:00

histomicrohaxo: what kind of card is it?07:38
histoskrite: what is compiz standalone?07:38
steven__how do i copy in past what the hot keys07:38
coz_steven__,   the easiest way to copy and paste in linux is to highligh text...like the command I gave...and simply middle click inside terminal window...or  a text editor07:38
histosteven__: ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shft+v07:38
microhaxohisto: GE780 Wireless  its an Asus Eee 1000he07:39
robscomputerI saw some screenshots of Ubuntu desktops with a cpu/performance widget, what is that called?07:39
histomicrohaxo: do you know what chipset it has?07:39
histomicrohaxo: you may need to install restrcited drivers or firmware for your card.07:39
skritehisto, well, i mean i am running compiz as a window manager without useing a desktop environment like gnome or kde or xfce407:39
bazhangrobscomputer, conky, most likely07:39
coz_steven__,  well highlight and middle click are the easiest however in terminal  to copy from a terminal it is  shift+ctrl+c  and to paste into a terminal it is  shift+ctrl+v07:39
microhaxohisto: rt2860sta07:39

TyanColtefigured it would create it07:55
TyanColtenvm problem solved07:56

airtonixTyanColte, your mount folder is the door to the block device you are trying to mount.... no door no access to device.07:56
histoTyanColte: fstab doesn't understand sudo but understands the rest of your line07:56
histoTyanColte: also your mount folder has to be there as a place holder07:56
daiatlus79histo: and my wlan as well07:56
histoTyanColte: and your UUID has to be correct. After you get your fstab fixed just sudo mount -a   should mount it07:56
histoTyanColte: and it will be mounted on boot for you.07:57
histodaiatlus79: thats just odd.  I'm at a loss for why ifconfig wouldn't see it.07:57

TyanColtehisto: http://s375.photobucket.com/albums/oo197/TyanColte/?action=view&current=Screenshot-Error.png08:13
TyanColtethat's what happens when i take out the sudo from fstab08:13
jimtuvI had to completely unistall nouveau to get my Nvidia to work08:13
TyanColteand try to mount the device08:13
TyanColteand i did create the folder08:13
histoTyanColte: yes root is the only one that can moutn like I said08:14
TyanColteso why did it not mount when i typed mount -a08:14
histoTyanColte: you could sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Windows7Drive08:14
histoTyanColte: and it would get mounted08:14
yaboohisto think i nailed the samba problem08:14
histoTyanColte: cuz you would need to sudo mount -a08:14
histoyaboo: what was it firewall or something in config?08:15
Linuxhisto: I just found fotoxx, i hope this will work08:15
airtonixTyanColte, histo is talking about the commandline now not entries in fstab.08:15
yaboohisto don't think firewall, because windows can find windows shares08:15
TyanColtewell that's all well and good but why won't it automount when i start my computer08:16
DjAngo23hey guys, Got a problem booting since the update to 10.04. First i had the problem : An error occurred while mounting /proc/bus/usb, but that is solbved with /etc/fstab, but now, when Ubuntu is doing the disk check (because the system says : file system still has error) i get the following error : The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present ? But i can cd to /tmp... Any idea ?08:16
histoTyanColte: try moutning it manually first open a terminal08:16
jimtuvI did some looking around and a search for nouveau brought me to the  BinaryDriverHowtoNvidiaNouveau page and the first thing on it is Note: Ubuntu 10:04 will use Nouveau out of the box. {X} WARNING: THE DRIVER IS MOSTLY UNSTABLE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.08:16
airtonixTyanColte, where is a pastebin of your /etc/fstab  ?08:16
yaboohisto this is my error standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option08:16
TyanColtei did, and it is mounted, but it won't remount when you restart the computer08:16
histoTyanColte: and type in :     sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/Windows7Drive08:16
jimtuvwhy would they put an unstable driver as default?????08:17
histoTyanColte: okay well maybe the uuid is wrong in fstab then try replacing it with /dev/sda1 instead of UUID=blah08:17

perplexedDr willis any ideas how to reverse the damage?09:22
nocturnusdamagu: maybe you should go to hell, because i'm clearly wasting my time offering you help09:22
greezmunkeyouyes: in your browser: http://localhost:631 will get you to CUPS admin, you can add your printer there.09:22
Jordan_Uouyes: With most printers you just plug the printer in and in a few seconds you'll see a message like "Printer foo is now ready to be used". If you don't though, there is a good chance that your printer is completely unsupported :(09:22
Dr_Willisperplexed:  to fix windows. You will have to boot some windows cd and use the proper commands to restore the  bootloader. the commands vary depending on your windows version.  fixmbr/fixboot may be what you need.09:22
damagunocturnus: I didn't see you offer any help09:22
damaguDr_Willis: Thanks I'll look into that.09:23
nocturnusyou can take that as a retracted offer09:23

Jordan_UMXGamer101: The practical difference is that to be able to boot from the drive you need to create partitions on the drives *before* doing anything with RAID, selecting the whole disk as RAID then partitioning afterward leaves no space for GRUB to safely install itself.09:40

ouyesgreezmunkey, yes09:42
guntbertThe_ManU_212: did you enable "connect automatically" ?09:42
The_ManU_212guntbert: yes :( doesnt help09:43
greezmunkeyouyes: color is up to the driver you selected, or the print options you chose when submitting the print job, i.e. in you application.09:43
wildbatraven, if you need to wipe the disk you can use something like :sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx909:43
greezmunkeyThe_ManU_212: is the cable connected?09:43
guntbertThe_ManU_212: how many connections do you have in the previous dialog?09:43

The_ManU_212guntbert: bwhere to do this?09:46
ruby_on_tailsDr_Willis: can you go here and ctrl+F "dpi" ?09:46
greezmunkeyouyes: the cups server webpage X.X.X.X:631 is pretty cool. You could have done the same thing in System>Administration>Printing, but the CUPS server gives much more options.09:46
=== paulcc_ is now known as paulcc
guntbertThe_ManU_212: ah sorry - I misread - because "everyone has an auto connection" :-)09:46

ManDayoh in the dir with the images i take it09:50
Dr_WillisManDay:  in a subdir..09:50
ruby_on_tailsJordan_U: its being done server side, is there any other tool to do this server side ?09:50
Dr_WillisYou can make your own. seen guides on it at omgubuntu and/or webupd809:50
greezmunkeyouyes: well, I'm glad I made your life easier.09:50
Jordan_Uruby_on_tails: In fact, wkhtmltopdf itself is available in the repositories.09:50
ManDayOther question: I use audacious with pulse and play mp3 files but sometimes in some files the volume drops and i have a certain noise for a few seconds. this is not replicable by rewinding to the position where it occured - what could be the problem here?09:51
ruby_on_tailsJordan_U: yes I installed it09:51
ManDaythanks Dr_Willis09:51
The_ManU_212guntbert: no i have only the setting home which i created manually09:51
ruby_on_tailsJordan_U: but its an application that's gonna be hosted.09:51
ouyesgreezmunkey, what is the difference between short edge and long edge09:51
guntbertThe_ManU_212: you can also try to enable "available for all users"09:52
The_ManU_212guntbert: i dnt have this option but i have system connection which is greyed out09:52
greezmunkeyouyes: one edge is longer than the other??09:52
Jordan_Uruby_on_tails: Ahh, you're running into the mentioned "reduced functionality"09:53
ruby_on_tailsJordan_U: didn't get you what's reduced functionality ?09:53
guntbertThe_ManU_212: oops - we are talking about different ubuntu versions I guess - what is yours?09:53
Jordan_Uruby_on_tails: python-pisa looks like it may do what you want.09:53
Jordan_Uruby_on_tails: wkhtmltopdf needs a patched version of the QT toolkit to be able to work without X11 running, QT in the repositories does not contain these patches so the wkhtmltopdf in the repos can only be run if you have an X server running (GUI)09:55
The_ManU_212guntbert: jaunty09:56
nocturnusJordan_U: ...what?09:56
ouyesgreezmunkey, how to set it print on both sides of the paper?09:57

MXGamer101hey Jordan_U i think i made a mistake. I moved the installation of ubuntu studio to my other hard drive that is not linkedto the RAID but now the system boots directly to UbuntuStudio10:17
ruby_on_tailsJordan_U: is this a normal rule or is this written in the documentation and I missed it ?10:17
raviepic3what the, since a month nobody answers me for what ever i ask10:17
noxiThank you for sending me to a page all about grub2, at 4 am I am still not quite getting the problem here. I have been reading online for hours and still nothing has worked. I have never managed a dual boot before but the concept seems simple enough. I still would like maybe a little attention other then a page. Thanks for the read though.10:17
aburrabeetHow to upgrade Ubuntu using command line interface?10:17
raviepic3and i found that am not asking dumb questions for a starter10:17
MXGamer101also the command sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst = blank file10:17

raviepic3so how can i upgrade my firefox up to date ?10:18
Dr_Willisraviepic3:  i would guess the extension may be to blame.10:18
greezmunkeyIowahc: exactly what I said, so you got X forwarding to run to one machine?10:18
raviepic33.0.1910:18

raviepic3Iowahc, 9.0410:20
Seveasraviepic3, upgrade to lucid, it has 3.610:20
Dr_Willisraviepic3:  installed firebug 1.5.4 on my firefox 3.6.310:20
greezmunkeyIowahc: I've played with that, it should be do-able. I'm checking some docs I dl'd ...10:20

Iowahcgreezmunkey:  nevermind. have forgot to use the right option -.-10:21

atlanticaTake0n The font is called Wordmark and it's not available for use. Unfortunately.10:21
atlanticaOh, I read it was called Wordmark10:21
raviepic3Dr_Willis, i getthis Firebug 1.5.4 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 3.0.19.10:21
Iowahcraviepic3: then a apt-get upgrade should bring you up with a newer version of firefox i guess, or as Seveas  mentioned, update to lucid10:21
greezmunkeyIowahc: yeah, it shold work on a connection to connection basis - allowing multiple sessions.10:21
raviepic3Seveas, how do i upgrade to lucid ?10:21

daurnimatoranyone care to help with no sound?10:31
Appl6WormDrink: I use x64, and I don't have many problems.  But if you can't come up with a reason for x64, you're almost certain to have fewer problems with x86 (especially with flash!).10:32
MrokiiAppl6:  I have tried that, but it is all the same. Even when I use "ps aux" only, I get the message of conflicting format options10:32
red2kicWormDrink: It is possible that some 32-bit binaries does not exist for amd64. Overall, if you're going to use Ubuntu for everyday usage, then you're probably fine with either.10:32

heroidred2kic: yes gdm is installed10:36
Appl6Mrokii: Can you pastebin the output of "echo $SHELL ; which ps ; file `which ps` ; alias", please?10:36
musashiTwiztid, remove processes that you dont need. get rid of gnome and use fluxbox, lxde or xfce.10:37
Jordan_UTwiztid: Unless you have a particularly low spec computer speed is going to depend more on what application you are using to perform a given task than things like gnome vs fluxbox etc. For instance, for word processing Abiword on a standard Ubuntu install will blow away Open Office on even the most bare / optimized configurations.10:39
Twiztidmusashi: fluxbox, lxde, xfce  all equally fast? or u have a favorite?10:39
MrokiiAppl6:  http://pastebin.org/21006510:39
musashiTwiztid, i prefer lxde10:39
Appl6Twiztid: If you could "turn up the speed" without any other issues, then distribution maintainers would have done that already.  In general, you need to find out how much reliability, compatibility, or features you are willing to lose in order to get the extra speed.10:39
overmindTwiztid: xfce is like gnome. lxde like kde10:39
tjingboemafter i log in it takes 30 seconds before i can actually use the system. can i speed up this process?10:40
musashihaving said all that, if you install something that needs gnome libs or kde libs, your going to be screwed anyway10:40
Giles hi I upgraded to lucid, I have a splash screen at shutdown but not boot.10:41
Appl6Mrokii: Haha, you really aliased the hell out of your terminal.  That is why you were having issues with "ps aux".  To get around that, use "/bin/ps aux".10:41

Currently i am running this ubuntu on the sda7, and sda3 and 5 is not used. Is it possible to merge sda3 and 5 into sda7 which is currently running ubuntu without damaging anything?10:41
Appl6Mrokii: It's no problem at all.  But it can mess up commands that people tell you to use, so if someone gives you a command that breaks, you should show them the result of the "alias" command.10:42

Appl6Diverdude: By "not at all worth it" I mean that it would be a lot of work, and all that filesystem work means there's a fair chance that you will lose some of that data.  If you can back it up, then just wipe those partitions and copy it back.10:45

Jordan_UTwiztid: It's a different set of default applications also.10:54
DiverdudeAppl6, do you know if that may be done?10:54
Appl6Diverdude: Absolutely.  What you will do is this:  1.  Backup sda3 and sda5.  2.  Boot the liveCD and run gparted.  3.  Delete sda3 and sda5.  Resize sda7 so that it takes up all the space where sda3 and sda5 used to be.  4.  Hit Apply.  It will take a while, but when it's done you won't have sda3 or 5 any more, and sda7 will be big.10:54
Radim_no ubuntu iso image fits on 650MB disk?10:54
fredl 'service bluetooth start' doesn't work10:54
Jordan_U!minimal | Radim_10:54
ubottuRadim_: 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/MinimalCD10:54

hello242424hi there10:55

fredlbushbaby - nope. restart does stop/start. Start doesn't do anything, just says udev should take care of starting up bluetooth10:56
hello242424but nautilus can browser all partitions very fine10:56
DiverdudeAppl6, okay, i will do that...grat..ill just create a liveCD then10:56
TwiztidJordan_U: hrm, ok but theorettically i can use ubuntu compatable programs with it?, basically get a 'pre-slimmed' ubuntu... xfce faster than gnome but does it support eyecandy? im trying to get compiz running smooth WITH KMS enabled, so I can also use the cario-dock which requires GLX 1.3; compiz only seems to work for me with UMS... =(10:57
DiverdudeAppl6, thank you for your advice.10:57
DiverdudeAppl6, I hope it is ok if i ask you again later10:57
Appl6Diverdude: You're welcome.  Good luck!  And sure, come back when you're done.10:57
Jordan_UTwiztid: Any application you use in one version of Ubuntu can be used in any other, they share the same repositories with just a differet set of default applications10:58
ruby_on_tailson terminal if I pass a command to make me a pdf file, do I have to pass some more commands to close the process ?10:58
DiverdudeAppl6, this is the liveCD right? http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download10:58
An_Ony_Moosewhen I switch to a TTY and when I'm booting, the screen looks like this http://imagebin.org/96091 . Is the resolution not being set correctly, or is it something else? And how can I fix it?10:58
Appl6hello242424: When you choose the "Install" option and get to the point where it looks like it's not showing your partitions, choose the "Manually partition my hard drive" entry.  That should show you your partitions.10:58
ruby_on_tailsbecause suddenly my script wwas working but now terminal says that failed loading page http://filename.pdf10:58
Appl6Diverdude: That's right.10:59
hello242424let me try that10:59
fredlIf I reboot my computer, bluetoothd is actually started but the hci0 device remains down even though bluetooth applet thinks it's up10:59
hello242424Appl6, no that is not showing the partitions either11:00
hello242424fdisk -l is showing the partitions fine11:00
Jordan_Uruby_on_tails: What is the exact command being run (you can add "set -x" to the beginning of your script to see what commands are being run)11:00
hello242424but gparted or ubuntu installer are not able to list my partitions11:00
fredlwhen I manually do 'hciconfig hci0 up' the interface is in fact brought up11:00
ddas4hello11:01
Appl6hello242424: Are all your partitions on one hard drive?11:01
hello242424yes11:01
hello242424they all are on 1 hard drive11:01
irwanhi11:01
fredlbut when I then try to do anything through bluetooth-applet, bluetoothd crashes and cannot be restarted.11:01
hello242424and 1 partition has a lot of data11:01
bushbabyfredl: have you looked therough dmesg to see if bluetooth starts correctly and recognises the device after starting up?11:01
TwiztidJordan_U: awesome thx... whats this i hear about the gallium 3d driver? any good? or whats the best driver for my ati x1300 radeon card;; and lastly, how do i install the xorg edgers? i heard they help performance too...?11:01
ddas4just upgraded to lucid from karmic .. and firefox does not start. Begins and then kills itself11:01
hello242424i can browser all partitions fine with nautilus in live cd , fdisk -l is showing the partitions correctly11:01
Appl6hello242424: If you could, please pastebin "fdisk -l ; mount -l", and imagebin a screenshot of the installer at the Manual partitioning window.11:01
fredlbushbaby - yup, bluetoothd starts correctly but never brings hci0 up11:01

hello242424apple6 , i have data on all other partitions which are ext4 , cant loose them11:08
hello242424how do i get to view the partitions and install ubuntu11:08

Appl6ddas4: It appears to be a known Firefox bug.  Try "aptitude remove libmoon" and then try running firefox again.11:08
DiverdudeAppl6, does it matter if one of the partions i want to delete is formated in ntfs? can gparted see such a partion?11:09
michael1982hey all11:09
robertzaccourfirefox lags, been using chromium for a couple months now11:09
Dr_WillisDiverdude:  gparted can 'see' ntfs partitions. but in order for it to actually do most things to them. You need the ntfs tools package installed.11:09
michael1982i can't play flight sim without it shutting my comp down help11:09
hello242424did this happen because i formatted a partition in while installing windows11:09

agolnlspci sounds familar (and is probably what I was looking for)....... broadcom bcm4312.... that at least gives me something more to look for11:28

hello242424Appl6 , some pages on internet say that if any paritions overlap then gparted shows nothing11:28
jozefkthat's it broadcom... that's why it's not working out of the box, agoln11:28
SpasysheepAppl6: yea, there's 927gb free on the drive it's being recovered to, but still getting disk full error11:28
erUSULagoln: in that page there are instructions for offline install of the drivers11:28

erUSULagoln: FWIW this cards do not work out of the box in linux becouse broadcom does not let linux distros distribute the firmware.... so blame them and not linux11:29
Guest21909bazhang!11:29
agolnSweet, that's what I was looking for... thanks for the help! (I do appreciate it, but honestly this is one of the biggest gripes I have with Linux & why I couldn't recommend it to non-techs)11:29
Guest21909hahahaa11:29
Appl6hello242424: Oh, another problem is that you have to install Ubuntu on a primary partition, not extended.11:29
Dr_Willisagoln:  broadcom drivers have been getting a lot of work in differnt areas  in the last few releases.   But it also depends on the exact ### of the chipset.   You may want to check the ubuntu forums for the  bcm4312 info. there should be some threads on its setup11:29
erUSULTwiztid: yes ati cards should be able to support 3d just fine11:29
bazhangGuest21909, yes?11:29
bushbabyfrdl: Looks like the original bug poster was updating stats about the system and the dependencies etc. I'm looking for any solution now but to no avail..11:30
Appl6hello242424: That doesn't explain why gparted shows you nothing, but in order to install Ubuntu you'll need another primary partition.11:30

igoryonIt says: 400 Bad Request11:30
igoryonThe reason, I have to add this header is because, the server with this image doesn't provide Content-Length header, and download always breaks at different places in the middle, showing 100% downloaded, but I know that the download is incomplete, but the actual image on the server is complete.11:30
igoryonWhat am I doing wrong?11:30
bazhangGuest21909, did you have a support question?11:30
hello242424Apple6, but i have been installing ubuntu on a logical partition inside an extended partition11:30
fredldo Ubuntu maintainers actually get paid?11:30
FardadJaliliagoln: what is your problem?11:30
bazhangGuest21909, if not then chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here11:30
erUSULfredl: some do (main repo) some do not (motu)11:31
Appl6hello242424: Well, you can't boot from a logical partition.  Were you using the Windows bootloader instead of grub?11:31
fredlerUSUL, hmm.11:31
dattawell the problem persits to go on11:31
redhahi11:31
Dr_Willisagoln:  its very possible that the  hardware-drivers tool if you were 'wired' for a few minets. could find and install  the proper drivers with just a few clicks11:31
dattai have not a single clue on what has happened11:31
Guest21909not yet,I want to know why ubuntu keeps to be so silly after upgrading of times...haha11:32
sillycat98can you boot to a linux partiton using the windows loader? o.O11:32
redhahi11:32
redhaI said hi11:32
jozefkredha, hi11:32
agolnFardadJalili: 1.) Wireless didn't work out of box (i.e. it doesn't show avaialbe networks as I think it should), and 2.) when attempting to 'ifconfig wlan0 up', I get SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory11:32
erUSULsillycat98: ntldr can be configured to launch grub (installed in a partition mbr) iirc11:32
FardadJaliliagoln: did you tried the driver in the broadcom site?11:32
FardadJalili*try11:32
dattai have created the new user and logged in through that and still blogger.com now shows a "untrusted " site in firefox11:32
erUSULagoln: many people has already told you what you have to do11:32
Appl6Spasysheep: Two things I can think of.  Either your friend is copying things the wrong way by accident, or your friend is copying things onto the "liveCD" instead of onto the 1 TB drive.  If the liveCD runs out of space then things stop working.11:33
sillycat98had no idea about that11:33
Dr_Willisagoln: that chipset seems to use the (older b43) drivers. or the newer (sta) drivers11:33
redhacan you help me i need information for (wine) program11:33
erUSULagoln: also i told you what you have to blame for the disaster11:33
jozefkdatta, :) you are using some firefox add-ons most probably11:33
PeterNLHi, in what version of fglrx or amdccle do i have working overscan settings?11:33
Spasysheepappl6: hrmmm11:33
agolnyes, read those forums (which I am about to do), but the simple fact is, I downloaded the Ubuntu ISO, installed it, and when it booted, the wireless didn't work11:33
Appl6Spasysheep: By "copying onto the liveCD" I mean that the liveCD makes a small fake hard drive out of your extra RAM, and it fills up pretty fast.11:33
dattaand in epiphany, blogger.com shows a canonical page11:33
SalmonSamagoln, are you able to connect to the "internet" some other way?11:33
bazhangredha, sure; check the appdb and look for help in #winehq11:33

bazhangGuest21909, stay on topic11:34
Dr_Willisagoln:  i agree with  erUSUL  - broadcom has dosent care about Linux, so its basically their fault.11:34
Guest21909ok11:34
Spasysheepappl6: yea i know, im just trying to confirm what's going on with the copying. seems the external hdd was mounted at two places, which probably didn't help11:34
agolnBroadcom fault? So if I want to buy a laptop... I have to totally research which wireless chipset comes with the laptop before I buy it before I choose which to buy?11:34
agolnHow do I know that?11:34
Dr_Willisagoln:  if you want to use linux with it - Yes.11:34
bazhangagoln, yes11:34
jozefkagoln, right11:34
FardadJaliliagoln: bcm4312 doesn't work out of the box, you have to download the driver yourself and compile it as far as I know.11:34

Dr_Willisagoln:  we dont care about windows 7.11:35
FardadJalilijozefk: It didn't work for me11:35
jribagoln: dell only puts ubuntu on certain laptopts.  If a hardware manufacturer refuses to help linux devs, then things aren't going to work as well.  So if you want something that works, you should do some research, yes11:35

Dr_WillisXethron:  more ram is always better.. but that system should work.11:42
JackStonerXethron: maybe try xubuntu11:42
Dr_WillisXethron:  you might want to check out lubuntu, or xubuntu11:42

gorskiDr_Willis: but i get no 3d acceleration with package manager drivers.11:43

igoryonXethron: LiveCD is slow by itself, not because of a slow computer, but because of slow read from CD/DVD11:43

greezmunkeyerUSUL: (et.al) Next question: I did an update, I see now comparing uname -a here vs. a machine that I did a clean install on, that I am on 2.6.31-14-generic #48 instead of 2.6.32-22-generic #33 - Can I use grub-legacy to boot into the new kernel? (If you didn't know, the last linux bootloader I delt with was lilo)11:58
zhxkAppl6:i just installed ubuntu-10.411:59
Appl6greezmunkey: Yes, the old version of grub will boot into that new kernel just fine.11:59

Appl6Mrokii: Can you try just "sudo aptitude", then hit capital U to mark all upgrades, then hit "g" to start applying them.  Then move around with the arrow keys to move to the memtest86+ package and hit "-" (minus) to deselect it.  Then hit "g" again to start the upgrade.12:02
greezmunkeyerUSUL: (et.al) this is what I have: http://paste.ubuntu.com/429983/12:02

erUSULouyes: again: fat partitions are case *insensitive*. there is *no* *differences* between ASM and asm they are stored the same way12:05
Dr_WillisXethron:  and yes ive had good hard drives 'die' at a moments notice.12:05
greezmunkeyerUSUL: One of *many* entries: linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.32 on x86/x86_6412:05
ouyeserUSUL, you do not get the point, i want it show ASM instead of asm12:05
greezmunkeyerUSUL: I think I'm good so far...12:06
erUSULouyes: so what you see when you do an ls or use nautilus is just a convention. in linux is default to lowercase. DOS desfaults to uppercase12:06
ouyeserUSUL, it can show Python but not ASM12:06
zhxkAppl6:can i load the kernel manually?12:06
Appl6zhxk: Yes, you can, but you have to know the file name.  That's what the "find" command were for.12:06

Appl6zhxk: Yeah, you can install from a flash drive, or from inside Windows with wubi.12:22
greezmunkeyAppl6: So that's the piece I'm missing, SO it goes like this: Safe upgrade gets you all the code, configures the system for the latest kernel, then you manually make the new kernel, and configure grub to boot it???12:22

hmw2 identical monitors, 2 intel GPUs: 82865G and 82915G/GV/910GL, one can 1600x1200, the other causes weird colors, even with 50 Hz. Switched monitors, same effect. I don't understand, how the GPU can be the cause of weird colors on the same resolution/freq. Can you explain that? What can I do?12:26
zhxkAppl6:i guess its grub4dos dont support ex412:26
emghazalOn Karmic, I used to be able to drag a window to the side of the screen, and it would automatically switch to the next workspace. Now it doesn12:26
ManDayDr_Willis, my problem is that certain mp3s play wiht cracks and noise and i dont know why12:26
Dr_WillisManDay:  ive rarely seen  extra drivers for much else then wireless and video.12:26
ManDaythe diles are ok12:26
Appl6greezmunkey: 2.6.31 is the kernel version.  14 is 14th Ubuntu specific patch applied to the kernel.  SMP is a compilation option for the kernel.  I don't know what 48 is for.12:26
ManDay*files12:26
Dr_WillisManDay:  bugs in the alsa drivers for that soud chipset perhaps.12:26
gorskiwhere do i edit grub?12:27
ManDayDr_Willis, its a realtek HD - pretty common if you ask me12:27
Appl6greezmunkey: But I'm still not sure what you're asking.  Can you boot into Ubuntu?  What problems are you having?12:27
emghazalOn Karmic, I used to be able to drag a window to the side of the screen, and it would automatically switch to the next workspace. Now it doesn't work and I can't find the option to enable it. (and sorry for the chopped off message)12:27
ManDayDr_Willis, pulse uses alsa, right?12:27
MrokiiAppl6:  It says "rw" only on all entries. Though there is a warning at the end, saying that "etc/mtab" is not writeable and the it's possible that the infor is not up to date.12:27
hmw!grub2 | gorski12:27
ubottugorski: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub212:27
Dr_WillisManDay:  Pulse runs on top of alsa  - right12:27
zhxkAppl6:i would like install another bootloder on (hd0,6)12:27
MrokiiAppl6:  It says that I should check the "/proc/mounts"-file for more actual information.12:27
DiverDudeAppl6, hey there. Do you have a moment_12:28
Appl6DiverDude: Hey, um I'm working with other people but sure, go ahead, what's the deal12:28
ManDayDr_Willis, what does pulse do to the stream that alsa doesnt? if i select alsa output plugin in audacious the sounds is horrible with pulse tho its ok (apart from the cracks and noise in certain files as mentioned912:28
Appl6Mrokii: You can "cat /proc/mounts" then.12:28
greezmunkeyAppl6: It's all good - I am comparing this system to one right next to it. The other runs on 2.6.32.22-generic, this one is on 2.6.31-14-generic after doing the same update...12:28
Dr_Willispulse lets you do other 'tricks' with the sound stream and system. I can make the pc here play its output  to other pc's on the lan. using features of pulse.12:29
Appl6greezmunkey: Both Ubuntu?  It almost sounds like one of them isn't pulling from the lucid repositories.12:29
Dr_WillisManDay:  or i could use anohter pc's mic as input on this pc :)12:29
MachisujiHey, I just upgraded to 10.4 two days ago. But I still don't like the "blackness". Actually I liked the brownish gray from before better. Can I somehow change that? I can only find options to change the windows and stuff, but not the "system color?" which is black.12:29
Appl6greezmunkey: Either that or one didn't survive the upgrade process too well.12:29
jribMachisuji: system -> preferences -> appearance12:29
MrokiiAppl6:  There is one entry with "ro" in it: "/dev/disk/by-uuid/84da43ad-833c-4e7d-9c67-b742098b668a / reiserfs ro,relatime,notail 0 0"12:29

domjohnsonare trackballs any good for video editing and audio production?12:30
zhxkAppl6:how can i list partitions on grub console?12:30
greezmunkeyAppl6: I'm just trying to understand why - That's possible. This one is an upgrade, the other one is a clean install :)12:30
Dr_WillisManDay:  no idea on that. check the forums.  or try other media player12:30
DiverDudeAppl6, When i try to delete one of the partitions in gparted which i started from the liveCD *im on the live cd now* i get the error:    Unable to delete /dev/sda5       Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 512:30

NecrosporusDr_Willis, gdm2setup: command not found, ubuntu-tweak: command not found; gdmsetup exists, but doesn't allow me to do this12:31
ManDayDr_Willis, it took me a year to settle on audacious because i hate all other audio players for either how bloated they are or that they have neither a tray nor an equalizer -  I WILL NOT ABANDON audacious :)12:31
jribzhxk: ls?12:31
greezmunkeyAppl6: That (what you said) could explain some wierd error messeges I get on boot. The system still seems to run alright though.12:31
DiverDudejrib hmm so i need to unmount everything?12:31
Dr_WillisNecrosporus:  go read the url i gave.. and INSTALL gdm2setup. or go search/install ubuntu-tweak12:31
Appl6zhxk: I'm not sure how to do that, sorry.12:31

ManDayDr_Willis, wow, havent had such a thing for 20 years now i think.12:32
DiverDudejrib yes ok....what is the easiest way to unmount?12:32
NecrosporusHow to do this with tools from default install?12:32

emghazalOn Karmic, I used to be able to drag a window to the side of the screen, and it would automatically switch to the next workspace, but it doesn't work on Lucid. Where can I find the option to enable it?12:32
jribDiverDude: I think gparted might have some gui option for unmounting too12:32
Dr_WillisManDay:  look at the new 'chumbly one' --> http://www.chumby.com/pages/compare12:32
Machisujijrib: I can only change window colors there if I'm not missing something here. But I want to the black of the menu bar(s) to go away.12:33
zhxkjrib:ls not supported on grub4linux12:33
Appl6Mrokii: Oh dear, I'm sorry.  That's your root partition (the second field is root), and usually the only reason your root partition gets remounted read only is when it detects file system corruption.  Back up time, if you have a way to do it.12:33
om26erupdating kernel on a persistent flash will be useless?12:33
NecrosporusSlackware seems much easier to use for me: it doesn't require me to install anything, I can configure my system with only vim /etc/something12:33
MrokiiAppl6:  I have a recent backup of all my HD12:33
Appl6DiverDude: Can you show me the output of "mount -l" (mount dash ell)?12:33

Dr_WillisNecrosporus:  i had other issues with slackware12:33
jribMachisuji: you can choose a different theme12:33
Dr_WillisNecrosporus:  the gdm config files are editable by hand.. but i dont bother.12:33
NecrosporusSo gedit /etc/gdm.conf?12:34
ManDayDr_Willis, wut?12:34
Dr_WillisNecrosporus:  research the config files.. ubuntu and slackware do NOT use the same versions of GDM. so it may differ greately12:34
MrokiiAppl6:  So... that means I should do a clean install of 10.04? :/12:34
zhxkjrib:10.0412:34
MachisujiWell I like the theme apart from the black part so I clicked "change theme" or however it is labelled in English. But it doesn't help.12:34
zhxkjrib:i do apt-get grub12:34
Dr_WillisManDay:  it has a radio. and its a mini pc. :)  it can even work as a wireless access point for your 3g network with some tweaking.12:34
Machisujijrib: Well I like the theme apart from the black part so I clicked "change theme" or however it is labelled in English. But it doesn't help.12:34
jribMachisuji: then edit the theme I guess12:35

Dr_WillisManDay:  i am goign to get one soon., when the wife lets me. :)12:35
hmwI can use 1600x1200 only rarely, because the mode is not "available" most of the time. I had a power outage, rebooted and suddenly it worked. Rebooted again, and still only 1280. Any ideas what's going on?12:35
Dr_WillisManDay: but as soon as i get it.. she will steal it.12:35
Appl6Mrokii: If it's not too inconvenient, I think that would be a good idea.  If not, you should reboot, because with readonly root nothing is really going to happen.12:35
caterhi. is there a filesystem suitable for shared media access, that doesn not require any complex cluster setup and daemons running?12:36
ManDayDr_Willis, forgive me but what is the advantage of that thing over a laptop?12:36
ManDayis it outdoor safe or something ?12:36
Appl6DiverDude: Can you try to delete the partition again?12:36
Dr_WillisManDay:  its a suped up clock radio12:36
cateri'd like to mount a disk via iscsi on multiple hosts simultaneously12:36
Machisujijrib: Ok thanks. I just thought you can change certain colors of a theme (besides the window colors). i'm gonna have to pick another one then.12:36
jribzhxk: why are you at this grub console?12:36
Dr_WillisManDay:  You sit it on your desk and let it run. :)12:36
caterhowever i need raw disk access on all hosts12:36
jribMachisuji: editing the theme is not difficult, just copy it from /usr/share/themes/ to ~/.themes and make your changes12:37
ManDayDr_Willis, ok, and the advantage over a laptop is... what exactly (not trying to spoil that i just dont get it)?!12:37
MrokiiAppl6:  but are you sure that this is the root-partition? I mean, there are other entries in that file, all with "rw". And only one is marked with "ro"12:37
DiverDudeAppl6, i managed to delete sda3 now12:37
Appl6DiverDude: Great.12:37
DiverDudeAppl6, but not sda512:37
Dr_WillisManDay:  its a supped up clockradio/electric picture frame that you set up how you want.   turn it on.. install the widgits you want..  and there it is.12:38
Appl6Mrokii: The first column is the device, the second is where it's mounted.12:38
DiverDudeAppl6, i keep getting this error12:38
DiverDudeAppl6, which i showed before12:38
Appl6DiverDude: Oh, well the error said to make sure you unmounted stuff, but it is already unmounted.12:38
MrokiiAppl6:  I see :(12:38
Appl6DiverDude: So the error doesn't make sense.12:38
Appl6DiverDude: Let me see if I can find some information about it.12:38
Machisujijrib: Ah I see, thank you!12:39
ManDayDr_Willis, hm okay, make sure to send me a photo once you have that thing sitting on your desk. i kinda cant imagine12:39
MrokiiAppl6:  Might be a stupid question, but I guess there is no way to "re-mount" it?12:39
DiverDudeAppl6, but i think it looks really strange actually the way the partitions is organized. In gparted it seems that sda5 is a subpartion to sda412:39
malikkitehi... I need help on upgrading 8.04 to 10.04... the first - i get the flashplugins-nonfree error the second - the installation doesn´t finish... the counter arrives to the end but pc doesn´t restart and if i do the grub menu is the old one but the boot sequence is not recognized... someone can help me?12:39
XethronCan anyone help me with the install of Ubuntu... I have a 20 GB drive split into two partitions. Windows is on the one and my backups on the other. Ubuntu wants to eather use the entire disk, or install it next to windows. I want it to use the entire Windows partition. How do I do that?12:39
DiverDudeAppl6, may i show you a screendump_12:39
Appl6DiverDude: Sure, that would be helpful.12:39
hmwXethron: select "manual"12:40
hmwXethron: and assign the partition as ext4 with mount point "/"12:40
Appl6Mrokii: Yes, you can remount it.  mount -o remount,rw /12:40
DiverDudeAppl6, ok, here it is: http://imagebin.org/9609712:40
Appl6Mrokii: I just figured (with no real evidence) that rebooting would be a "fresh start".12:41
Appl6DiverDude: Oh, now I see what's wrong.12:42
MrokiiAppl6:  *sigh* mounting doesn't seem to work, for whatever reason. it says: "mount: /dev/sda2: can't read superblock". I guess my only chance is to try a restart now.12:42
Dr_WillisManDay:  take the clock off your Bed stand.. and replace it with a chumby.. you roll over in the middle of the night  look at the time.. slap it once.. get a weather rport.. or  whatever...12:42
Appl6DiverDude: Right click on /dev/sda8 and select the "Swapoff" option.  Then use Reload in GParted.12:42
DiverDudeAppl6, i think i did something strange with the partions back in the days12:42
Dr_WillisManDay:  the origial one was a 'soft plush' design. :) newer one is more mondern12:42
XethronThanks hmw ill give it a try12:43
Appl6DiverDude: You should see the little silver keys go away next to /dev/sda6 and 8.12:43
DiverDudeAppl6, yeah12:43
Guest20073anyone know how to install my media system (mms) on ubuntu 9.1012:43
Appl6Mrokii: Yeah, it isn't sounding good.  Do you have another computer to chat on while you mess with that one?12:43
zhxkhow can i install grub from ubuntu?12:43
DiverDudeAppl6, so now i swapped it off, is it safe to delete_12:43
Appl6Mrokii: I'm concerned you won't be able to boot back into ubuntu.12:43
Appl6Appl6: Yep.  Actually, you have two swap partitions, you really only need one.12:44
krazykrivda_i could use some basic help editing and saving sources.list12:44
Appl6DiverDude: Yep.  Actually, you have two swap partitions, you really only need one.12:44
MrokiiAppl6:  nope, I don't have another one. And I fear the same. I guess I will meet a friend and ask him to download 10.04 for me. Or else use 9.10, which I should still have12:44
DiverDudeAppl6, aha interesting....So which one should i choose?12:44
ManDayDr_Willis, hm okay. if it doesnt use a lot of power and can be "slapped" i see the advantage then12:44
malikkitehi... I need help on upgrading 8.04 to 10.04... the first - i get the flashplugins-nonfree error the second - the installation doesn´t finish... the counter arrives to the end but pc doesn´t restart and if i do the grub menu is the old one but the boot sequence is not recognized... someone can help me?12:44

DiverDudeAppl6, maybe i need to swapp off sda6?12:46
MrokiiAppl6:  From 9.10, yes. I think I may even be able to download 10.04 here and burn it before rebooting.12:46
Dr_WillisManDay:  the chumvy site lets you make a virtual one. so you can see exactly what features it does/has/channels/applets12:46
oCean_krazykrivda_: that is probably because you don't have the right credentials. For example the "root" user might own the file12:46
Appl6krazykrivda_: If you want to edit it, you have to do "sudo nano FILENAME" because you don't have permissions to save it.12:46
hmw!sudo | krazykrivda_: you dont have access permissions as a user. You need to edit it as super user.12:46
ubottukrazykrivda_: you dont have access permissions as a user. You need to edit it as super user.: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with  superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For  graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with  sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo12:46

Appl6Mrokii: With a readonly root I don't think you could download anything.  But having a 9.10 install CD should be fine.12:49
DiverDudeAppl6, it seems sda7 has been renamed to sda6 now12:49
guntbertkrazykrivda_: so you started with sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list ?12:49

MrokiiAppl6:  my home is on another partition, and I have just tried a download to the desktop, which works. I guess only the system-partition itself is affected by the read-only-status12:50
guntbertkrazykrivda_: ok after your edits you press <esc> to leave the insert mode and the you press : (cursor goes to the bottom line) and then x (to save and exit)12:51
hmwkrazykrivda_: The mode thing was about vi12:51
Appl6Mrokii: Oh I didn't notice you had a separate home, then yes you're absolutely right.  You can download it to anywhere in your home directory.12:51

DiverDudeAppl6, most likely i did some strange stupid things and caused that strange construction when i installed ubuntu 9.1012:57
hmwkrazykrivda_: "better" = faster12:57
Appl6DiverDude: I don't know, you set it up that way?  Haha.  You can only have 4 primary partitions, so in order to get more than 4 partitions you had to make one extended partition (sda4) and stick a bunch of logical ones (sda5,6,7,8) inside of it.12:57

Ferbtry resizing window...12:59
Dr_Willisabhishek:  start with 'alt-f2' and 'metacity --replace'12:59
Appl6DiverDude: Right.  Actually, you can tell GParted to resize sda4, then resize sda6, and then when you hit Apply it will do both for you.12:59
krazykrivda_hmw: i dont' know what you mean12:59
Appl6DiverDude: That way you don't have to hang around and wait for it to finish, because it will probably take a long time.12:59
DiverDudeAppl6, okay, and tell it in the same time to use maximum possible space?12:59
Appl6DiverDude: Yes.13:00
Brc just download ext2 manager to view and tranfer files from windows 7..all went ok i can c the the linux partition but when i click to view files there are empty13:00

Appl6DiverDude: Set up what?13:01
hmwkrazykrivda_: Start in the System menu (top left) and look for those texts. Some are submenus, others buttons, etc. Just read your screen. If you have partial failing packages, or slow downloads, you have the option to select another repository. Only applies to Ubuntu of course. If you use an external repository, you would need an alternative one, but thats not common13:01
DiverDudeAppl6, to do bot resize sda4 then6 and use maximum possible space for both13:01

hmwShould I see something, when I enter the URL from a repository into the browser? I got 40413:12
Appl6ManDay: The assumption is that usually people are looking for the top N consumers of a resource, which is why there isn't scrolling.  And the other thing is that top sorts by CPU by default, and if you change it, you should remember what it's sorted by rather than it telling you.  Not that those are great assumptions to make, but they're understandable.13:13

Appl6ManDay: Some things are designed in a minimalist fashion, and top was also designed to fit the maximum amount of information in that space.  Adding an indicator would require the use of one row.  If you work in an 80x24 terminal, every row counts (especially if you can't scroll).13:15

hmwkrazykrivda_: you can have that without looking glass stuff... sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager. But first check, if Compiz works on your PC: Does the top menu have a shadow ---> Compiz is OK13:17

luboszhi, two-finger scroll is grayed out since lucid. it worked in karmic. how do i reenable it?13:29
Appl6ManDay: It already gives you mem usage.  VIRT = virtual memory usage, RES = resident memory usage, SHR = shared memory usage.  Usually when people want to see "memory usage" they're talking about resident (RES).13:29
roberto_in ruby -- system(firefox, url) -- this doesn't run, just returns nil -- but the spec says it should work. if I pass only 1 argument it does work, but clips the url. any ideas?13:29

jgracinHi! I'm switching back from OpenSolaris to Ubuntu 10.04 after 2 years.  Has 64-bit Ubuntu matured?  Are the still any 32-bit-only components/plugins/etc (flash?).  My machine supports at most 3GB of RAM, so that's not an issue.13:30
penguin42sugoruyo: That doesn't look too bad does it? Hmm I'm not too sure what to suggest, I'd probably try dumping the start of the md with od or other hex dumper and see if it looks like a filesystem13:30
TaodamDr_Willis : I'll try to remove et reinstall drivers13:30

=== neutrino is now known as tar-
jimi_jrib, yeah, it keeps defaulting to /bin/sh even after changing13:35
sugoruyopenguin42: well the funny thing is nothing really happened to make it do THAT in particular13:35
jribjimi_: pastebin your terminal session13:35
jribjimi_: wait.  /bin/sh isn't the default interactive shell anyway.13:35
jimi_jrib, It is when you create a new user13:36
sugoruyopenguin42: it was created by NAS device which at some point messed it up and couldn't read it, so I plugged the two HDDs in my PC and tried to see the RAID013:36
penguin42sugoruyo: Yeh that can be tricky - the only thing that comes to mind is if the two drives have got swapped at some point, but I don't know if md is smart enough to realise that; I know the detection order can be rather random these days13:36
penguin42sugoruyo: Oh, so have you ever had it work on your PC?13:36
jribjimi_: how are you creating the new user?13:36
sugoruyopenguin42: mdadm says one of them is an ext2 fs and the other a RAID0 member, however manually doing a mdadm --create makes the array operable13:36
warpihi! is it possible to download the "libusb-dev" package to enable installing on an offline computer?13:37
sugoruyopenguin42: on 9.10 I could just mount it as an ext2 fs13:37
jimi_jrib, I already created it. I am using it now. I just want to change from /bin/sh to /bin/bash , apparently you have to logout and back in for it to take affect. I just ssh'd into myself and its bash then.13:37
krowill tell you what worked forme it was root copy past and cutomizing xorg.conf13:37
jribjimi_: can you please answer my question?13:37
penguin42sugoruyo: My guess is that the one that says it's an ext2fs is the 1st drive in the array13:37

I changed the theme to see what the others looked like, and when I did it moved them to the right. Didn't like it so I changed them back, and it put them back on the left, but in the wrong order.  How can I change the order of the window controls back to CL15:22

theorosi am trying to use the 10.04 desktop ISO to create a liveusb. i have tried using unetbootin (latest version), and usb-creator-gtk but despite formatting the usb drive in all attempts, i get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" related to syslinux when booting from my laptop with windows on it. when i use my dell mini 10v, it loads the liveusb normally (proving it is not a corrupted ISO), what gives?16:02

ubottuDo 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/RootSudo17:11

MikeChelenairtonix: maybe check to see if there still a jdownloader or java process running17:24
zipperairtonix but its not inside the internet menu...17:24
|corpse|minimec: I belive i did the workaround correctly. I have no change in performance17:24
acicula!recover17:24
ubottuSome tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel17:24
doomedacicula: ok thanks let me see17:24
airtonixMikeChelen, no. i just removed ~/.jdownloader and it started up (although it took quite a while to start up)17:24
theGmanacicula: Ah, thx. Not enough brain cells assigned to the iss. :P17:24
aciculahmm thats not it17:25
maxowhen I start ubuntu, the icon indicators in the panel don't render properly. Is anyone else having this problem?17:25
minimecPolemus: There I see a problem. First... normally onboard GPU is disapled, when another card is added. SOme BIOS allow you to reactivate teh card, some not.17:25
MikeChelenairtonix: ok, you can remove ~/.jdownloader again if it won't start now17:25
aciculadoomed if you get it right it will ask you what system disk you want to use as root, which should be the disk that holds your ubuntu installation17:25
Polemusminimec: i set onboard to "Always on" in bios17:25
Roastedis medibuntu still down?17:25
aciculadoomed, then we check the grub version with grub-install -v17:25
minimec|corpse|: I you set the snd entry for kms to '0' and run update-initramfs... ?17:25
doomedacicula: i can modify the grub list. what should i do in it now?17:26
airtonixzipper, 1) remove the ~/.jdownloader folder, in terminal type : rm ~/.jdownloader -rf  2) run jdownloader : in terminal type : /usr/bin/jdownloader17:26
danilociao sono niki17:26
deancI elevated myself using "sudo -s"17:26

netharishey guys, does any of you know what is the matter with fglrx @ 10.04?17:27
* xangua impressed of how can one make an easier task the hardest of all17:27
minimecPolemus: You could try to uninstall the nvidia dirver and use the opensource nouveau driver... NO 3d :(  With tehse settings I guess Xrander recognizes both cards.17:27
aciculanetharis, can you phrase that as a specific question17:27
pkphey, i have an issue with making a bootable usb disk17:27
* Dr_Willis wonders what jdownloader actually does.17:27
IdleOneDr_Willis: I can confirm it takes 30 seconds if that to install jdownloader from PPA17:27
airtonixzipper, if you canceled the launch then you need to remove the ~/.jdownloader folder again. because interupting the initial launch corrupts the files within.17:27
netharisfor instance, netharis@FOX:~$ fglrxinfo17:27
netharisX Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)17:27
airtonixDr_Willis, pretty much the same as tucan.17:27
pkpit makes it and when checked with fdisk, it shows that it is bootable, i think it's something to do with some BIOS thing17:28
Dr_WillisIdleOne:  taking me longer to read the docs and figure out what it does. :)  there is some JD Update going on ritght now however.17:28
zipperairtonix: Its loading shitty slow17:28

netharisit's a known issue but, all the solutions the say, didn't work for me17:28
airtonixDr_Willis, 1) find link for something on rapidshare 2) insert link to tucan 3) start it 4) do something else 5)marvel at automatically downloaded file from rapidshare17:28
randomusr_how can I create a shortcut that points to another folder?17:29
airtonixDr_Willis, it might do, i prefer tucan to jdownloader because the plugins are in python format.17:29
acicularandomusr_, yeah with ln17:29
Dr_Willisairtonix:  heh.. err.. i got a firefox extension that auto does that allready.. :) but  i imagine this is all against the Rapodshare EULA.17:29
netharis@randomusr_, make a symblink17:29
xanguaDr_Willis: better to just copy the videos from your /tmp directory17:29
minimec|corpse|: so '-1' forces pci mode '0' disables KMS kernel mode settings.17:29
|corpse|minimec: ok trying that now, in the workaround he has modeset=117:29
netharisln -s /something/smth17:29

Noiano_is it possible to perform a netinstall making client download packages from local network and not the internet?17:40
roberto_I need help with Nautilus-actions17:40
CloudMonkeethe standard one.17:40
aciculaNoiano_, yes, you have to create a local repository17:41
MikeChelenfreeman: that applet has a funny name :)17:41
pokehDoes anyone know how to configure rhymbox to support playback control with an IR remote control? I have LIRC, and my remote is being recognized and the buttons are detected when pressed, I just can't get Rhytmbox to map itself to them..17:41
aciculaCloudMonkee, did the window decorations disappear or did the screen just freeze entirely17:41
CloudMonkeeacicula, i have no rela knowledge of ubuntu. I was using the one you get automatically... Is GNOME the name of one?17:41
RevChasguntbert: That works, but I'm still puzzled because I've been using this keyboard since last year.17:42
CloudMonkeeacicula, the top window where it has the name of the box it controls dissapeared17:42
Noiano_acicula, how? I mean I successfully create the ftfp thing etc but the client connect to the internet, not to local network in order to download installation packages17:42
* Dr_Willis wonders what CloudMonkee 's original bug was.17:42
aciculaCloudMonkee, Gnome is the environment, metacity is the default windows manager17:42
theGmanHow does one downgrade a specific app to a specific vers? Wine for instance..?17:42
aciculaCloudMonkee, yeah that is metacity crashing alright17:42
bazhangtheGman, use the wine repos17:42
freemanMikeChelen: yeah it couldn't be more vague, tbh17:42

CloudMonkeeacicula, how would i get passed this problem. I truly hate 9.10.17:42
bazhangtheGman, info on their site, perhaps in #winehq as well17:43
Dr_WillistheGman:  in the past ive also removed wine. then downloaded/installed the specicic version i needed17:43
magicbronsoni have update-manager-core installed but no update-manager executable is on my PATH. is there a command you can run to tell what package provides a particular executable?17:43
aciculaCloudMonkee, you'd have to start metacity manually and see the output of why it crashes17:43
RevChasguntbert: Did something change in the authentication stuff that it now won't work properly with a close paren, ), in the password?17:43
|corpse|minimec: it may have gotten worse17:43
magicbronson(trying to upgrade from karmic to lucid)17:43
minimecpokeh: In fact you have to configure gnome, as these keys are loaded with the gnome-settings-daemon. They also work with Exaile, Banshee, Listen...17:43
guntbertRevChas: it seems that there happened something in the meantime --- after log in check your keyboard - and there are keyboard settings in the gdm too17:43
magicbronson(using instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha2)17:43
Dr_WillisCloudMonkee:  if you mean the 'title bar/controlls vanished' then set up where you use metacity not compiz.17:43
CloudMonkeeacicula, is there a different windows manager htat I can use?17:43
pokehminimec: okay, how can I do that?17:43
Dr_WillisCloudMonkee:  the tool 'fusion-icon' can help automate this and recover when compiz crashes17:43
geolrHi there! In Nautilus how to get a adressfield where I can type17:43
theGmanDr_Willis: Thx! In an other dist I used that was "frowned upon" so I thought I had better ask first...still new to ubuntu :)17:43
Dr_WillisCloudMonkee:  theres dozens of window manages you can use17:44
aciculaCloudMonkee, loads, metacity and compiz are provided as default, under appearances when you select the lower listed options for more graphic gimmicks it will switch to compiz windows manager17:44
magicbronsonoh, this is a server that's not running X17:44
guntbertRevChas: no, but your keyboard may deliver a completely different character :)17:44
Dr_WillistheGman:  wine is very much a 'hammer it till it works with your app you need to run' sort of thing17:44
minimec|corpse|: Hmm... You can open a console and  'sudo rm /etc/modropbe.d/radeon.conf and then run sudo update-initramfs -u -k -all again. Like that, everythig is undone.17:44

danutzmileawell, i've downloaded the deb, tried the terminal, got a bunch of errors (dpkg -i bla bla) then removed it... then tried the package archive thingy that usually makes it all happen and nothing, still a bunch of errors. oh yes... and first i removed alsa and pulseaudio using a guide i found on the web17:51

minimec|corpse|: Hmm... You can open a console and  'sudo rm /etc/modropbe.d/radeon.conf and then run sudo update-initramfs -u -k -all again. Like that, everythig is undone.17:52
theGmanGuest58217: As long as the folder exists and isn't a system folder (meaning you have access to it as your user)17:52

aciculadanutzmilea, if you dont know what you are doing why not stick with alsa/pulseaudio instead of using tutorials which may not even be valid/relevant for your system? from what i gather the software oss4 packages are packaged for ubuntu 10.04, so if it says they are installed you will just need to configure them and your system to use the oss4 subsystem18:00

ashdojfiethe strange item is that in read-only mode i can see all18:03
ElladanGuest58217: Yes, I believe you need a user= and pass= in there18:03
ashdojfieso the mount problem where is?18:03
ElladanGuest58217: See man mount.smbfs or man mount.cifs18:03
aciculaashdojfie, it mounts in read only because there are filesystem errors detected, the read only is to avoid corrupting the filesystem further18:04

ubottufsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot18:08

Dr_Williszipper:  without resorting to a reformat/reinstall?18:21
aciculaCQ, SwedeMike typically drives manage badblocks themselves once detected, so you should not use badblocks to flag blocks yourself unless your disk is so far gone that it cant do that18:21

zipperDr_Willis: alright ciao18:23
GeekSquidgreezmunkey: Indeed, and in my expierence, most users here own their machines, or are super admins on them, so, they  can do what they want18:23
SwedeMikeCQ: then you can just mkfs that partition and restore, then the blocks will be fine when data is written to them again (if the drive still has spare sectors to use instead of the bad ones)18:23

Even though the LiveCD booted and installed fine, the first boot after installation froze with a screen corruption. It now only boots to the command line and recovery mode, resetting X defaults, and failsafeX have not helped.18:52

airtonixPolemus1, can't find the deb file ? you used wget right? so the deal with wget is that it dumps files you ask it to get in the current working directory. so assuming you still have the terminal window open that you used and haven't changed directory then that will indicate where it is19:42

Oddbiois using "netcat" a slow method of tansfering a file? I actually thought it was faster than other methods.  I ask because I recently wanted to send an 11.5 GB file using netcat and it took a few hours. Perhaps that is normal though, and it just seems like a long time because I've never sent a file that big before..  Also, The two computers are on the same network, so it's not across the internet.20:43

featherofmaatguest94303: i'm gonna pass that one on to someone else lol, i've never even considered using multiple monitors21:05
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: as a result of course an Internet connected,  vm could get infected by a virus or something,  However since it's a vm,  you get  a nice security advantage over a pshyical install21:05

Budsanyone know of a way to access a macbooks EFI (to disable floppy drive)??21:18

NetLarIrvineOn 10.04?21:18
onetinsoldierbrad__: yes21:18
sky1GeekSquid:  so I figure my best course of action is to deal with it, or to backup the data and format it as NTFS instead.21:18
patdk-wksky1, ntfs is ok, but if you don't shutdown windows cleanly, then the ntfs driver in ubuntu will refuse to use them21:18
patdk-wkso fat32 *might* be a better solution21:18
Vigopun84: Do you know how to get into BIOS on that box?21:18
sky1fat32 is not a very good solution for 1+TB drives I do not think :P21:19
patdk-wkwhy I said *might*21:19
__-osh-__sky1: I'm told that ntfs support is somewhat dangerous so if it's just for storing data go for FAT or something. However my experience with NTFS on Linux isn't all that fresh. Things might have improved.21:19
roberto__modprobe: chat me in private please21:19
modproberoberto__: how?21:19
roberto__modprobe: see a sperate tab already opened from me ?21:19
sky1patdk-wk:  of course lol. Yeah I think NTFS is probably best as long as I shutdown nicely, but sadly it's going to be a pain to backup 2TB of data to format the drive from ext4. But as of right now its impossible to read/write from windows on them, which I think I'd rather be able to, even if ubuntu is going to the main OS21:20

tom_fishy_hi, I have just recently installed Ubuntu 10.4. I used 9.10 for a few months but stoped because my video drivers (ati card) wasn't perfect. If I for instance watched a movie in VLC the whole video was messed up. If I played it in gnome-mplayer it was "okey" but not good. Now I have installed ubuntu as a virtual guest os with Virtualbox running from Windows 7. And even though I only have half the ram and so on I can p21:21
tom_fishy_lay movies in VLC (720p x264) with no problem, which is very good! My question is now this, Will I get the same result If I install ubuntu not virtually or can I use virtualbox drivers (guest additions) because they seems to work better.21:21
GeekSquidanigma: yep, no GUI though21:21

pupis apache, mysql and php all I'll need? It's a wordpress blog21:27
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: yes I think Moonlight only has support for Silverlight 121:27
linux_is_my_herowhy does lucid 086 have 4 desktops but not on my x64 machine (only 2)?21:27
__-osh-__pup: What'll you use to power the website? Joomla? Drupal? Wordpress?21:27
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: or something like that21:27
linux_is_my_hero*x8621:27
brad__onetinsoldier: Ok, well I tried that, and it spat out more package errors21:28
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: the desktops on the panel you mean?21:28
sky1geeksquid: I'm kinda scared to fool with the ext2fsd now though since it almost killed my data the first time. Ah okay so it might be better to just make an NTFS instead since it does seem like its better support regardless if I have to backup data/format a drive.21:28
zleaplinux_is_my_hero, you can change the number of desktops21:28
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: it's two by default21:28
onetinsoldierbrad__: is it yet more kde packages?21:28
linux_is_my_herozleap: how?21:28
brad__onetinsoldier: so I just nuked the file, and created a blank one, and it had trouble installing libselinux21:28
__-osh-__pup: Wordpress. Yep. Fairly straightforward. Just use the install instructions.21:28
GeekSquidpup: yes, the installer for wordpress will tell you if you have everything you need installed, if you don't, install what you need and restart apache21:28
brad__onetinsoldier: No it was just standard libs that time21:28
zleaplinux_is_my_hero, right click and choose preferences, or i do that here21:28
savidI'm having this weird issue with my laptop -- when it's on battery power, 80% full,  it just shuts off,  and I can't power-on.  I can only power-on when plugged in.  Why might that be happening?21:28
jMylesWe are having an ubuntu expo today, and I'm trying to show Gwibber to people.  Is it true that Gwibber doesn't let you tag on facebook (like point to the @ubuntu page)?  This is a major flaw.21:29
mshadledoes anyone here have vmware server 1.x running on lucid? or, worst case, vmware server 2.x running (that doesn't crash?)21:29
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: when you do the vm, Virtualbox :)21:29
onetinsoldierbrad__: roger. i don't know what's going on there. might be too messy for me to know how to fix21:29
zleaplinux_is_my_hero, that means right click  on the panel section that shows the switcher thing21:29
brad__Does anyone else find it extremely annoying that empathy is the default IM client?21:29
Loshkisky1: ext3 is the most stable filesystem for Ubuntu. What ar you trying to do?21:29
patdk-wkI thought vmware server was dead years ago21:29
patdk-wkeither use workstation, or esxi21:29
brad__onetinsoldier: Yea, I think im just going to download the final release and reinstall21:29

linux_is_my_herozleap: thanks!21:30
linux_is_my_herosebsebseb: definately will21:30
mshadleesxi does not run on a host, workstation requires X. this is headless21:30
sky1Loshki: I just want the most compatible file system to use on both Windows and Ubuntu, and so far Windows ext support (at least ext4) seems very lacking. I suppose if ext2 or 3 works great on Windows that could be a viable solution as well.21:30
zleaplinux_is_my_hero, no probs21:30
linux_is_my_heroemail if u have details or recommendations bigtom21485@gmail.com21:30
GeekSquidsky1: sounds good in theory, I only use linux on my personal computers, some of my servers are windows, out of necessity & what the boss wanted, just shutdown windows properly everytime and you should be good21:30
linux_is_my_herosebsebseb: about the vm i mean21:30
patdk-wkheh, I would defently use esxi on headless21:30
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: uhmm21:30
patdk-wkdunno why you would want to burden a hostos with it21:30
sebsebseblinux_is_my_hero: not really the best idea to give out email addresses in here21:30
brad__esxi is its own OS amirite?21:30
patdk-wkyep21:30
onetinsoldierbrad__: roger. sounds like a good idea probably. you can see those postrm and postinst scripts in /var/lib/dpkg/info just to let you know21:30
brad__onetinsoldier: Ok, thanks for the help!21:31
sky1GeekSquid: yep that's theonly problem I see is the 'shutdown properly' but one should be doing that anyway :P, and I've used NTFS all the time on Ubuntu and it seems quite flawless as of late.21:31
duffydackAnyone elses rhythmbox cover art not displaying?21:31
onetinsoldierbrad__: good luck. cheers :-)21:31
duffydackPlaying some tracks, and there aint any covers being displayed.21:31
mshadlethis is an existing linux box, esxi isn't an option21:32
sky1GeekSquid: alright thanks a lot for the affirmation, going to stick with the original plan to switch them to NTFS filesystems I think. Going to take a bit and I'll need to find a place to backup the 1.5TB :P but we'll see haha.21:32
patdk-wkmshadle sure it is :)21:32
mshadleit's not a burden either, it worked fine, except it's had pam 32bit issues as well as kernel upgrades being incompatible. that's about it.21:32
patdk-wkinstall esxi on usb drive, boot usb drive, use vm-passthough on the harddrive controller21:32
patdk-wkhost os will boot like nothing happened it it inside esxi21:33
emghazalYay! I finally managed to remove the envelope icon from the indicator applet (http://imagebin.org/96127). Apparently it's not exclusive to Evolution. I removed the 'indicator-messages' package and it disappeared. (I just thought other people might want to know how I solved my problem)21:33
Pirate_Hunteris there any where I can find more info on the file common-passwords in lucid?21:33
Loshkisky1: no, you're right, ntfs is probably the way to go if you want to share between systems. There are ext3 drivers for windows but they're underused, and I wouldn't vouch for the stability. The main disadvantage of ntfs is that to do a proper file system check, you need to boot into windows. You can't do it from Ubuntu...21:33
realmobileAnyone have a clue why iPhone isnät stable on Ubuntu 10.04 connecting through bluetooth when it works just fine in 9.10? Anyone having the same issue connecting iPhone to Ubuntu 10.04?21:33
jribPirate_Hunter: dpkg -S?21:33
sebsebsebemghazal: yes envelope icon and such is a bit sucky really, how come you wanted to remove though21:34
sky1Loshki: ah okay, that shouldn't be to much of a problem. I will probably be switchingt alot between the two since I like ubuntu but I also play a lot of PC games which require windows (and I feel much better about that then trying to use wine or something).21:34
Pirate_Hunterjrib, I mean the current structure, it is split into four parts I wish to alter it so that it remembers user passwords and stop them from reusing them, however I am finding it confusing21:34
jribPirate_Hunter: I don't anything about it, read the documentation for the package it belongs to?21:35
serylDoes anyone have suggestions on installing ubuntu with nvidia raid controller? (can't seem to select sda/sdb for the install) It only wants to see the mapper, and in the bios raid is disabled.21:35

faxany ideas about getting ubuntu to work on the mac? (Installing seemed to work but it wont boot)21:37
jribfax: what does "it wont boot" mean?21:38
serylfax: and why are you installing a linux distro on mac?21:38
sebsebsebemghazal: if so you will get shut down and log out back in the system menu, where they should be really, and are in other Gnome 2 based distro's since that's how upstream does it.  Plus you'll have that nice upstream Gnome automatic shut down after a minute if untouched, after telling it to shut down, feature back :)21:38

airtonixTtech, i also noticed when booting my netbook off the usbdrive that lucid would let me do dual screen by default at any angle i wanted22:08

sebsebsebmuffin2: remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub22:09

jason__The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.22:10
noir_lordTtech, it works fine for me in 10.04 but not in 9.10, it took me hours to figure out it was the HorizRange setting in xorg.conf that was out of whack (it didnt show on any forums)22:10
airtonixTtech, same here22:10
CQLoshki: /tmp is taking long to mount and blocking the boot process... could be that /dev/random runs out of entropy and blocks... guess I can use urandom instead as a try22:10

sebsebsebmuffin2: there's xsplash in the 10.04 repo,  but I don't know how to get it using xsplash instead22:10

LinuxGuy2009Just wanted to share a solution to re-aranging netbook edition favorite launchers. gconf-editor, apps, netbook-launcher. There is a list of launchers that are numbered starting at 0. You can check to see what each one is simply by reading it. Then there is a master list that you can double click and click the up or down arrow to rearrange the order. Logout, then log back in to see changes. Piece of cake.22:43

acerimmerdominicdinada: doesn't mean your download stopped.  Check /Downloads for an active file22:50
daroluAdvent: open the /etc/default/grub file with super user powers and edit the line that says "GRUB_DEFAULT" to what you want, it can be a numeric value or the exact menuentry string in /boot/grub/grub.cfg22:50

dominicdinadaIs their any safe way to terminate the transfer since this is not a copy and paste this is me moving files from an external drive22:52
daroludominicdinada: dumping will copy the data (block by block), not move it (copy+delete)22:52
wildbat_laptopdominicdinada, ctrl -c?22:52
dominicdinadadarolu: so i can just kill the process and reboot?22:53
daroludominicdinada: yes you could but I wouldn't recommend it since it can damage your original information, how big the risk is depends (among other factors) on your filesystem; if the dumping is working you can let it finish22:54
dominicdinadawildbat_laptop: well I used the File Explorer (nautilus )   Is there a recovery option to run ? also my desktop windows lost all their close... etc buttons :/ This is like the 8th time lucid has done this22:54

bodomdarolu: if I wanted it to download mail locally, then I used pop3 instead. No, it's not normal, it's a panic... how to stop it?22:59
daroludominicdinada: nautilus graying can be normal when transfering that many information, let it finish and it should go back to normal, other processes in your computer can be slow as the transfer is using many of your resources22:59
darolubodom: IMAP will sync your e-mail, you can just kill thunderbird (the process) and then configure what you want to sync and what not23:00
dominicdinadadarolu: I understand that but this is 2 hours into the transfer I transfered a 10 gig block earlier... no problems...23:00
dominicdinadaNot to mention all my file windows unrelated to this are crashed as well sigh... sudo aptitude remove gnome-desktop-enviroment23:01
dominicdinadago with the gnome-core... no pretty flashy bullsnap23:01
danielbwg23:02
bodomdarolu: I have a "do not use more than 50Mb for cache" setting, doesn't this does the job?23:02
wolterit shouldn't crash either way...23:02
daroludominicdinada: if you have a large file (say a 4GB one) and you're trying to paste it to a filesystem that doesn't support files that large can cause the crashing23:02
wolterits a file transfer23:02

dominicdinadadarolu: This is not a size limit because I can just be browsing locally and this happens without warning... As the other guy said it crashes when in the trash also23:03

darolubodom: cancel the transfer then, you can configure what folders to sync later; to kill thunderbird use a terminal "sudo killall thunderbird" if it fails look for the processID with "ps -u <username>" and use "sudo kill -kill <processID>"23:07

bodomClayReiche: the problem (I guess) is that if you run your script on rc.local it will run with root credentials and it's not a good pratice to make it accept input from common users. That's why I guess interactivity is disabled on rc scripts23:24
