I gave a link to someone yesterday on a workaround (just store .authorized_keys somewhere that's not encrypted and update settings). I can grep the logs from yesterday for the link if you want [00:53] @_@ since when does apt download multiple streams? [00:53] then digit ./ffmpeg2theora-0.26.linux32.bin movie.avi and press enter [00:53] LinuxGuy2009: Ok this is strange, if I press the down key immediately between post and the grub menu, it moves down once or twice, but once the grub screen shows up, the selection will not move at all [00:53] Hi, when trying to run vncviewer via terminal, I get the following error "unable to bind listening socket: Address already in use (98)" Please help [00:53] jrib: yes...

[01:14] h00k: and modified the font config file or something [01:14] Jordan_U: I have already, but it doesn't want to sync. [01:14] i was writing data to a external hard drive (It is my backup) and browsing the web and now everything is frozen and REISUB doesnt work along with ctrl alt F1-F7 [01:14] perryarmstrong: Are you unplugging the speakers and then plugging in the headset or whatever?

Unfortunately occasionally it crashes at random times. Before I used 9.10 and before that Fedora 12 on the same hardware, and on both 9.10 and Fedora the system froze from time to time, except that I could move the mouse pointer. I suspect a problem with X, but I'm not sure. Can anyone give me any advice, or tell me how to find out what might be wrong? [01:24] onetinsoldier: it's a window-matching utility. it basically adds a capability that several other window managers (notably KDE) have built in: saving the settings of windows and restoring them. [01:24] fynn, plus it has true transparency if you like [01:24] pinguin1031: and don't mind me.. i see you did use my nick... above the link [01:24] j #rabbitmq [01:24] gc_maru_batsu: have you concidered your sytstem may be over heating? [01:24] greezmunkey: Yeah, obviously. You know, seeing as I am in the Ubuntu HELP channel, being told to look at the script and do it myself is a bit disrespectful and I don't appreciate it. [01:24] gc_maru_batsu, have you looked into the logs for a clue ? [01:24] LinuxGuy2009: it was not locked out, the ipod was not on the home screen. I just verified that if it is at the "locked" screen w/ the passcode, it will not load, but if on home it will. [01:24] fynn: compiz can do that [01:25] gc_maru_batsu, random guess your computer is overheating...oops sorry mickster lol [01:25] UbuntuJeff: lol [01:25] onetinsoldier: yeah, I'm a programmer, and like to run on a minimal environment, so no compiz :) [01:25] fynn: you just have to enable like... session management in the compiz settings manager. maybe one or two other things as well, but it can do that [01:25] fynn: oh.. i see [01:25] oldgregg:ok so unlock it. [01:25] fynn: I'm a programmer, and compiz makes me happy :) [01:25] Jon--: we don't apprieciate people that are not willing to help themselves either. I told you how to fix your problem. [01:26] mickster04: UbuntuJeff: I guess it could be overheating, but the behavior is always the same, and changed from freezing in 9.10 to crashing in 10.04... so I'm not sure [01:26] hi, how can i make the windows to move between one desktop and another? by grabbing them and moving through the desktop borders. Which module should I enable in compiz? [01:26] Pelo: which logs should I look at? [01:26] Jon: Not everyone on at one time has all the answers. A little patience and respect will go a long way. Additionally, someone's response may seem tough but will help you more int he long run. Give a man a fish, teach him to fish, etc etc [01:26] I used to be able to edit menu.lst to define the startup things for grub. Where can I find it now in 10.04? [01:26] Hi guys...sorry, I'm having a problem: I can't activate audio on ubuntu 9.10. I tried to download the packets that I always downloaded but nothing happened... My audio card is the default integrated card of the MSI K8MM-v motherboards... [01:26] gc_maru_batsu: what happens before it crashes? anythi ng repeatdly seems to be the cause? [01:26] ubottu: grub2 | zruty [01:26] zruty: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:26] hi all. running 10.04 and don't like default GDM theme. how do i change it to a theme i downloaded [01:26] gc_maru_batsu, here is a way you can test it, take the side of your case off and run it for a while like that. if it doesn't freeze the it is probably overheating [01:26] gc_maru_batsu, system, error , msg ... xorg possibly , there is a log viewer applet in the admin menu , that might be quicker [01:27] pinguin1031: ok, i just downloaded it [01:27] greezmunkey: Have you even LOOKED at the script? I can't simply reverse it, it modified ~/.fonts.conf. If you know where I can find my old one / the default, then by all means, I'd like to know [01:27] k4ever: there should be an option to install a new one, just locate the one you downloadeD? [01:27] so, I have a problem that's weird enough that I just need some ideas on where to even look. While I'm typing on my usb keyboard, my usb mouse is unresponsive. but only for keys that provide an actual input, so I can hold ctrl, alt, or super and still move the mouse fine :S [01:27] mickster04, i wish. k4ever [01:27] mickster04: There's no predictable pattern [01:27] onetinsoldier: and does it work? === thibow is now known as thb[OFF] [01:27] mickster04: not with 10.04 [01:27] Jon--: dude, that file has like 6 lines in it by default. [01:28] doesn't matter what usb ports the devices are plugged into, worked fine prior to lucid upgrade [01:28] pinguin1031: just extracted it... hang on [01:28] greezmunkey: Then tell me what they are. [01:28] onetinsoldier: thanks a lot for your friendly help [01:28] ZykoticK9: k4ever there is an option to install new themes, system preferences > appreareances [01:28] mickster04, not GDM themes [01:28] gc_maru_batsu: then check logs:/ [01:28] i have a lcd support 1440*900 on windows, but dont have such option on ubuntu, help me to set it? [01:28] ZykoticK9: ooh yeah i c... [01:28] greezmunkey: I spent the past 2-3 days making my own script for something and doing some manual config. I came to this channel for HELP, not to be told to do it myself (especially considering this feels like one of those "screw this up and reinstall" things) [01:28] Well, I'll try and keep the computer from overheating and see if the problem recurs. Thanks mickster04, UbuntuJeff, Pelo for the advice!! [01:28] Bye!! [01:29] Jon--: How about you ask nicely :P [01:29] gc_maru_batsu, you might want to kill fancontrol if the computer overheats [01:29] greezmunkey: I won't grovel. [01:29] mickster04: only works for gnome themes. not gdm themes [01:29] i have a lcd support 1440*900 on windows, but dont have such option on ubuntu, help me to make it? [01:29] greezmunkey: I asked nicely originally to the entire channel before you told me to do it myself, then I gave you a little attitude. [01:29] k4ever: yeah just realised that... what have you found on google? [01:30] Jon--: Please chill. We are all volunteers, here. [01:30] Lyndsy Fonseca = hotstuff [01:30] pinguin1031: hang on.. be back in a minute [01:30] !ot | thul [01:30] thul: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:30] h00k: I don't like feeling like I am being talked down to or dismissed [01:30] not promising on google. thats why i'm here. hoping someone here knows how to do it [01:30] h00k: (not by you) === Irked is now known as Annoyed [01:31] zhxk, got a special graphic card ? [01:31] k4ever: ok, just checking:/ === Annoyed is now known as Irked [01:31] k4ever, chances are you're more-or-less stuck with the default GDM theme -- you could check out https://launchpad.net/epidermis but it didn't work for me, perhaps you'll have better luck. There is also GDM2SETUP (or similar name), but it also didn't work for me. Good luck man. === Irked is now known as Annoyed [01:31] Anyone know where I can find/restore the default ~/.fonts.conf ? [01:31] Jon--, look fora .fonts.conf~ see if you can rename it [01:32] Pelo:it have the option now, i dont know why [01:32] Pelo: Can I rename it safely? [01:32] Pelo: And ubuntu will restore original? [01:32] Jon--, I don'T see why not [01:32] Jon--, after a reboot or a session restart I expect so [01:32] always keep a backup of the backup handy though :) [01:33] Jon--: no guarentees though: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:33] * Pelo is busy braking lucid with a speical xserver ppa [01:33] greezmunkey: You want me to pastebin my ~/.fonts.conf ? [01:33] Jon--, I thnk he got the wrong nick === Annoyed is now known as Irked- === Irked- is now known as Annoyed [01:34] Appologies, it's not ~/ it's /etc/fonts/ [01:34] hello, does anybody know how I can find the path to JDK5 or JDK6 in Ubuntu? I'm prompted for this when trying to uninstall an application using it [01:35] I need to change my screen resolution ...I cannot find program...lucid [01:35] Jon--: not really, I spent nearly a half an hour yesterday searching, and finding the exact document you needed to fix your videolan issue, after another similar rant as today, only to have you tell me that the problem you had was something you created yourself, and that you fixed it [01:35] Jon--, can'T see a backup file in there, I think you're screwed [01:35] moes, System / Preferences / Monitor [01:35] this is kind of odd. just did 9.10 update and fixed bad splash with startupmanager. now when I alt-ctrl-F1 my display is disabled (monitor goes to powersave) and I can't get it back with alt-ctrl-F7 or any other. [01:35] bfabry, I have looked around and not sure why your usb is having a problem like that sorry :(. but I had a question out of curiousity what DE do you use and what language do you program? [01:35] *10.04 [01:36] Random question: has anyone had problems with the Broadcast app? I can't seem to get it open, even through clicking it. What would be the command I would use if I were to open it using a terminal? [01:36] greezmunkey: I am not ranting, I asked nicely the first time, and you said "read the script, reverse engineer it, do the opposite. not hard". That sounds like a LOT of attitude, and I really don't appreciate that. [01:36] greezmunkey: It sounds like "why the hell are you here? any IDIOT could do this! lol" [01:36] Seven_Six_Two, if you're messed with framebuffer resolution with Nvidia - this happens to me too, until i remove the customized Plymouth resolution - then i get my VTs back. Good luck man. [01:37] Jon--: I gave you a default script [01:37] reboot brb [01:38] how can i have a nicklist on the rightside? [01:38] Accidently closed firefox [01:38] UbuntuJeff: Currently a rails app, which I just use gvim for. I'm starting to get a bit jealous of the refactoring tools my workmate gets with rubymine though [01:38] I missed any messages sent with my name in them [01:38] how can i have a nicklist on the rightside of irssi? [01:38] Please resend. [01:38] ZykoticK9, you had to customize Plymouth res? were you getting low res splash too? After splash fix I got low res mode. I chose to set up again and then restarted X. this issue came next. [01:38] Jon--: there wasn't anything while you wre away [01:38] Seven_Six_Two, are you using Nvidia? [01:38] Anyone know what they replaced services-admin with? gui utility for managing what starts at boot? Things like cupsd ? [01:39] h00k: I heard a beep as I was closing ChatZilla, like I just missed one. [01:39] h00k: can I safely nuke all config files related to fonts and restart? [01:39] Annoyed: manual labor :) What do you want to do? [01:39] Seven_Six_Two, when my Plymouth resolution is High = no VTs. Using default 640x480 plymouth resolution - VTs work. [01:40] ZykoticK9, yes. and I just ssh'd in and see from dmesg "fb1: nouveaufb frame buffer device" then "registered panic notifier" [01:40] Jon--: you can do whatever you want in ~. Anyway, there is no defaults ~/.fonts (see /etc/skel/) === thb[OFF] is now known as thibow [01:40] how do I purge X from the system. I'm only running a command-line server [01:40] jrib: I am in /etc/fonts actually, typod before [01:40] !away > thibow [01:40] thibow, please see my private message [01:40] jrib: The script modified /etc/fonts, added fonts, modifed and added config files, etc. [01:40] Jon--: I don't know, actually. [01:40] Jon--: you ran a script with sudo that you didn't understand? :/ [01:40] Seven_Six_Two, are you using nouveau or Proprietary nvidia driver? [01:40] !doh [01:41] ZykoticK9, and "nouveau 0000:01:00.0: allocated 1680x1050" ok. how did you change it? I want to use proprietary, but autoconfiged after low res mode on reboot [01:41] jrib: It was the Lucid start script, was meant to make installing packages and such easier, and is SUPPOSED to have undos for anything. Issue is, the sharp fonts was labeled with "firefox" on them, so I just supposed it was for firefox and tried it out. it's global and I find it kind of ugly. [01:41] Jon--: "lucid start script"? [01:42] jrib: It's not malware/purposely malicious lmao. hold on [01:42] jrib: https://launchpad.net/ubuntustart/ [01:42] Anyone know what they replaced services-admin with? gui utility for managing what starts at boot? Things like cupsd ? Or why cupsd isn't starting at boot? [01:42] ZykoticK9, do I still sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [01:42] Seven_Six_Two, it's only Proprietary that give the broken VTs when plymouth set to high resolution. see my notes on http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/plymouth-resolution [01:42] oh, finally [01:42] Seven_Six_Two, it's not an xorg issue [01:43] i recovered all the partitions [01:43] jrib: The sharp fonts install is my only issue, rest went very smoothly. [01:43] ZykoticK9, thanks for the link. my dmesg indicates nouveau and still no VTs [01:43] Jon--: pastebin: ls -l /etc/fonts/conf.d/ [01:44] Hi, I have a problem with my WiFi speed. I can't go over 20 MBits while I am using a N router (up to 300 Mbits, or at least 54 Mbits in G mode) [01:44] Seven_Six_Two, not sure then. Good luck man. [01:44] jrib: http://pastebin.org/215355 [01:44] Hi! Thanks for your help! Is there any way to figure out if an executable is 32 bit or 64 bit just with the executable [01:44] anyway is from crazy to grant people the possibility to umount the os on which are working [01:44] I have a question. I am in Kde and google chrome installed. Everytime I right click in there or hit the back button and a few other parts I click on. It makes noises, how do I turn those off? [01:45] 230 [01:45] poi77, "file $bin_name" will tell you [01:45] if on a disk there is an operative system which is mounted will not be accessible to umount the volume [01:46] Jon--: oh right, I modified mine too so I can't help you. You can probably just reinstall fontconfig-config and tell it to include conf files. Maybe: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install [01:46] ZykoticK9: Thanks! [01:46] poi77, glad to help [01:46] Jon--: or wait a few minutes, because I'm going to go read the script [01:46] alowww all [01:46] jrib: Okay. Thanks. [01:47] Jon--: script is garbage... [01:47] jrib: I've realised this now. I ran it on a whim, I was happy with my setup already [01:47] dear all [01:47] morning [01:48] jrib: it is, it's true. I've glanced at it briefly [01:48] jrib: it looks like another automatix or something :( [01:48] ZykoticK9, i restarted gdm and now it reboots when I log in....oh man [01:48] Jon--: see if removing ~/.fonts.conf and reinstalling that package the way I said is enough [01:48] at the moment near me i got a bottle of water, next time i could offer any other things, why in the next days i must to star for Berlin (Wireless Community Weekend starting from 14 May till 16 May) i hope is possible to fly [01:48] jrib: How do I reinstall the package again? [01:48] Jon--: oh right, I modified mine too so I can't help you. You can probably just reinstall fontconfig-config and tell it to include conf files. Maybe: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install [01:49] jrib: Did you forget the package name in that command? === chadgobs is now known as chad [01:49] Jon--: yes, I always give commands that do nothing so people actually have to read them [01:50] Seven_Six_Two, i have NO idea man - best of luck. [01:50] jrib and what is the font package name? [01:50] Jon--: fontconfig-config [01:50] hi, is there a psd viewer? [01:50] jrib: i typod, thanks. =P [01:50] Hello all, I just installed ubuntu for the first time on my mac, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good (better than Pidgin) IRC client to use. [01:50] quassel irc [01:51] ichristopher, xchat is a popular GUI IRC client [01:51] ichristopher: xchat, irssi, quassel [01:51] psd viewer exist on ununtu? [01:51] jrib: ah-hah. reinstallation mentioned missing config file, reinstalling as suggested. rebooting now. if it works, much love =D === clayton is now known as Guest68330 [01:52] ichristopher: firefox addon chatzilla [01:52] PeterDrop, try opening it with OpenOffice - no joke [01:52] i am reading you in English, watching a Movie in French and thinkig what to write to you from Italian to English [01:52] i know, iam looking for a viewer [01:52] i can see them on gimp too [01:53] Pavlz, I'M impressed, if you're watching Kaamelott I'll be even more impressed [01:53] PeterDrop, oh, I'd heard Gimp didn't work - good to know it does, thanks. [01:53] say I want some command to execute when i log in -- where can I put it? [01:53] !startup | crankharder [01:53] crankharder: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [01:53] crankharder: use gnome-session-properties [01:53] anyone have trouble with ubuntu and the broadcom wireless card? I just put ubuntu on my dell inpiron B120 [01:54] * jrib wishes he could just memoserv Jon- that he needs to remove {alias,local,misc,msfonts-rules}.conf [01:55] thanks PeterDrop, h00k, ZykoticK9, and who else suggested clients [01:55] chad:download the driver for linux wifi from broadcom. [01:55] chad: not native but it did find the Broadcom driver when i did a hardware drivers check hp z5600 [01:55] jrib: Thanks. fixed. now I just have to deal with all the other garbage this script did =/ [01:56] jrib: note to self: don't run scripts. [01:56] :) [01:56] no a strange movie, i don't remember the title, but if you got TV SAT you can watch on RAI3 [01:56] Jon--: note it probably added {alias,local,misc,msfonts-rules}.conf to /etc/fonts that didn't get removed [01:57] Pavlz: that doesnt seem on-topic === piju is now known as piju[QRT] === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [01:59] got called away for a while. so no luck with changing gdm. read someone that ubuntu devs were arrogant enough to make it so you can't change gdm in 10.04. guess its true. [01:59] Jon--: where's this script? i want to run it! :P [02:00] Jon--: seriously, you cold maybe look at the script and try to see what it did. then you could try to undo it [02:00] could* [02:00] gdm is not needed for any productive work [02:01] ...correction changing gdm themes. guess i'll just switch login managers. === Alonely is now known as Katie [02:03] hey guys... just wondering if any of you have a problem with Empathy occasionally refusing to open chat windows after being left idle for a while. [02:03] can't figure out the problem for the life of me. [02:03] has anyone tried to use mysql as database backend for evolution? [02:03] albech: eugh. mysql. [02:03] :) [02:03] I'm working with a friend to get his wifi working and and reading this page http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-360426.html , How do I tell what kernel we have. [02:04] I cant change the desktop icons or nautilus appearance and it looks horrible, but gnome-appearance-properties dont have any effect on that, it just changes just the panel and menu icons. Any suggestion please? [02:04] do you work on your computer or just look at logon screen all day? [02:04] linxeh, postgresql? i dont really care as long as i can host my own sql based backend ;) [02:04] smc: uname -r [02:04] @albech : why would you use MySQL? seems like a lot of work for nothing, unless you're working with massive loads of emails you aren't deleting- which in that case, you're better off using IMAP as a protocol. [02:04] albech: I just dont like mysql - too many bad experiences. not really used evolution much, but might be soon [02:05] Demolitio: unless you want to host the emails on your machine [02:05] onetinsoldier, thanks [02:05] !smc|uname [02:05] smc: you're welcome [02:05] Demolitio: eg, I've got years of emails I need to refer to (gigabytes), but I want them on my machine not on a server [02:05] linxeh, Demolitio its for storing addresses, notes, calender entries etc, not mails [02:05] linxeh, Demolitio i should have been more clear on that [02:06] acerimmer, the other way around with spaces !uname | smc [02:06] Has there been a deliberate attempt to simplify the "Diplay" control panel since vesrion 8.04? On or about May 4, somebody was asking a questing about setting diplay resoution with an "Unknown" monitor. Little did i reliase I would encounter the same problem. The only 16:10 mode listed is 1440x900. [02:06] Pelo: :~ ty [02:06] hy everybody [02:07] phillipsjk: it only displays the resolutions that the display reports it can handle [02:07] @linxeh point made... never thought of it that way.. however leaving it on a server and just caching emails you need to access even offline nomatter what- seems like a better policy. [02:07] hey [02:07] is it possible to listen to music with a bluetooth speaker? [02:07] people [02:07] howdy [02:07] phillipsjk, if you have a special video card you might have to setup the driver first [02:07] someone can help me? [02:07] anybody here playing STARCRAFT 2 ?

[02:16] Mace: mace I just checked the Version: 1.1 in /var/log/Xorg.0.log under 8.04 -- the monitor does not list support for 1440x900, so I don't know why 10.04 would default to that mode. [02:16] *EDID [02:16] you should see shared folders on Ubuntu machines [02:17] Hey uh, can someone help me out with the gspcav1 drivers? [02:17] I'm trying to manually compile them and I'm getting errors [02:17] can you browse network by netbios names? [02:17] anyone? [02:18] hjdshjsd, no, like i said, when i go to 'Windows Network' it doesnt list any of my windows machines [02:18] Ret, I'd look for a channel or a forum by the ppl who made the drivers [02:18] scyTh3, don't feel ignored , just repeate your question periodicaly [02:18] you said *from my windows machines* [02:18] Mace: nevemind; found it:(II) CHROME(0): Modeline "1440x900"x0.0 106.50 1440 1520 1672 1888 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync (56.4 kHz) [02:18] Pelo, tnx.

I know people have had success, especially with the microphone portion, but I can't get it working on Skype. [02:20] Pelo, will do. I have checked a few places though. I know my card is very old and was figuring I had to recompile the kernel..not sure, a bit new to ubuntu.

[02:23] guitarman888: at which stage it happens? [02:23] markus_: yes, it should just if you pair the speakers, then select the bluetooth output in sound settings [02:23] guitarman888, there's a spin down option in power management [02:23] *should just work [02:23] hjdsjsd: hey, it happens right after my POST test [02:23] guitarman888: try hold down shift after reboot [02:23] so when the bios finishes, ubuntu just doesnt boot up at all. I see no grub or anything [02:23] ok [02:23] hjdshjsd, i dont really get it.. with 9.10 my windows machines used to show fine under Place/Network/Windows Network [02:24] ok, well that brought up grub [02:24] helloi [02:24] !grub|guitarman888 [02:24] guitarman888: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10).

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:24] g0tcha: can you connect to them providing IP address directly? [02:25] ahh, ok, so it must be something with the default kernel cause its doing it again [02:25] Am I allowed to ask where I could get help with transcode? [02:25] trying recovery [02:25] hjdshjsd, i know how to do that in a windows machine.. how can i do that in ubuntu?

[02:26] wdaim: Your experience with an Ubuntu release is likely to be highly dependent on your hardware configuration and preferred applications. That said, I personally find it more stable than 9.10 and about the same speed. [02:27] ubottu: documentation | Demolitio [02:27] Demolitio: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com [02:27] i am going to keep it, but it just feels a little sluggish at the moment [02:27] Anyone know where I can get a ubuntu installable for wine 1.1.44? The latest that appears to be avail in the pkg mgr is 1.1.43... [02:27] it feels buggy and slower than 9.10 did for me [02:27] ok, it seems its not booting in recovery mode either.it seems to have crashed trying t get a sata device working. [02:27] theGman: winehq keep a ppa with development version [02:28] hjdshjsd: Hm, will have to check it out. [02:28] hjdshjsd: I've been there but don't recall seeing it...

You all know that means that all system files were deleted.I relized this also deleted the instructions for my WLAN to turn on and off. Now,I can only connect to the internet via ethernet. Does anybody know where i might be able to get this system file , or if there is another way to [02:31] use my WLAN again? [02:31] theGman, do y ou understand how the ppa works ? [02:31] hello, i need help setting up a webcam for empathy [02:31] courtni: go to system, administration, hardware drivers, then see if ubuntu can find any drivers for your card [02:31] thanks a lot [02:32] hi, anyone knows how to start pidgin from indicator applet when you click on "Setup Chat..." in indicator applet. Or how to remove that entry [02:32] hjdshjsd, yes, i can connect that way [02:32] hjdshjsd, used windows user/pass as well [02:32] is samba set a master browser? check smb.conf file [02:32] as a* === Mutesounds is now known as HighOnAmbien [02:33] has anyone elses ubuntu 10.4 returned to the standard gnome theme unexpectedly [02:33] morroc: uninstalling empathy should get rid of that entry (after you log out and back in) [02:34] how do I replace iced tea java plugin with sun java plugin? [02:34] oh, i didn't relog. will try that thanks [02:34] iced tea plugin doesn't work [02:34] un214, remove icedtea - then install Sun's plugin (you need to add the Partner repo) [02:35] hjdshjsd, i didnt set it to master and i dont see that option there [02:35] got a link w/ instructions? [02:35] ok, so after getting into grub, trying the freshly installed system in standard and recovery mode, it wont boot in either [02:35] un214, see blue note at top of http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java [02:35] i have no idea what I should do, would one reccomend going back to 9.10? [02:36] i keep getting random messages via empathy/msn and can't see how to stop it like you can in pidgin, any ideas? [02:36] g0tcha: it should be there, set it up [02:36] hello, i need help setting up a webcam for empathy, i have it plugged in but it's not letting me choose the video call option [02:37] hjdshjsd, do i have to do anything after changing settings in smb.conf? [02:37] Hey guys, wtf's up with 10.04? I installed it using ext3, now i'm getting that stupid initramfs message and well GRUB2 doesn't even load just moves straight to ubuntu load which then dies.... 64 bit system, Dual booted with Windows 7 64 bit, 6gb ram, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo I'm sure that's the main stuff you need to know right? [02:37] guitarman888, there was a problem with the original batch of installation cds, they wouldn'T boot properly, a grub problem, sounds like what you are expeeriencing, install again with a freshly downloaded decktop cd from the website [02:37] pchater, see what I just told guitarman888 [02:37] Does anyone know how to autolaunch a perlscript placed in Autostart in a terminal? [02:37] g0tcha: if you have samba demon running, restart it and wait about 15 minutes [02:38] Pelo: ok. Im using Xubuntu install, and I just downloaded the ISO not 2 hours ago. I will try again though. thanks [02:38] pchater: grub must load if its booting at all. it just doesnt display anything. hit shift when the black screen comes up after your bios === Slix is now known as Slix` [02:38] Pelo: Oh, I got the download cd from the website. But still no joy. [02:38] guitarman888, ifyou got it two hours ago from the ubuntu.com website that might not be the problem then [02:38] Pelo: where did you hear this? nothing about it on ubuntu-devel-announce or ubuntu-devel [02:38] Some window border styles hide the icon of the application (top left, usually showing the orange FireFox icon in the browser). How can I make those evil window border styles show the icon? [02:38] Pelo: Hell, I even upgraded the distro first to see if that worked... but yet i'm still getting initramfs errs. [02:38] maco, diggs couple of days after the initial lauch [02:38] funkyHat: cooool. Got it working. Ubuntu rocks! [02:39] Wow. I just instaleld the fluidsynth-gm and fluidsynth-gs soundfont files to use with Timidity, and the provided .cfg files that use the .sf2 files (included with timidity) sound horrible. It's an awesome soundfont, but hte volumes are all skewed with the configs--the guitar is really, really loud for example [02:39] pchater: to open the grub menu, you either hold shift during boot or press escape when the screen goes black after post [02:39] Pelo: well, now that I think of it, I used a usb program to autodownload the ISO and write it to USB. it may have grabbed an older one, so Im not sure. gunna try anyways. thanks again [02:39] And if I just load the sf2's directly in timidity, most of it works but certian instruments are mixed up (saxophone playing as a violin in one song) [02:39] Any ideas? [02:39] Radio-l: What do I do from there then? [02:39] Pelo: interesting that its not in the release notes... is there a bug report / evidence that isos were re-rolled? [02:40] #jakarta [02:40] if anyone can at least give me some clue as to why when I try to stream things through Samba or SSHFS or even DLNA my connection with the ubuntu server drops after about 30 minutes... it may have something to do with my router (airport extreme)? [02:40] Radio-l: How would I get rid of this initramfs err? lol. (Using EXT3 btw) [02:40] please, i'm at my wits' end [02:40] hello, i need help setting up a webcam for empathy, i have it plugged in but it's not letting me choose the video call option [02:40] maco, someone in here mentionned it as well, I didn'T investigate this further, I just took it as a warning and waited until I was ready to install to dl a fresh copy [02:41] Pelo: there have been no new isos released http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [02:41] Is there a way for command line tab completion to display results in ls colors? [02:41] Pelo: was a particular case where it would break mentioned? because those isos have worked for the vast majority of people and were tested before being released [02:42] Anybody? [02:42] How can i skip this stupid initrafms err? [02:42] Pelo, on the day of Lucid's release, the ISOs where re-spun PRIOR to being released [02:42] pchater: whicj error? [02:43] hjdshjsd: I dunno, i boot; then i just get busybox all the time. [02:43] ZykoticK9, something like that yes [02:43] karrot: what exactly do you mean by streaming? Watching a video via a shared folder? I am just curious... [02:43] pchater, I recommend you do a forum search for hte error msg [02:43] hjdshjsd: I installed it using ext3, now i'm getting that stupid initramfs message and well GRUB2 doesn't even load just moves straight to ubuntu load which then dies.... 64 bit system, Dual booted with Windows 7 64 bit, 6gb ram, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (My original post) [02:43] pchater: try to provide kernel and init manually [02:43] how do I get rid of a package in a .deb file [02:43] Pelo, but the ones there where released where fine (it was an issue with booting Windows BTW) [02:43] What is mtab in the message "umount: /blah is not mounted (according to mtab)"? [02:44] ZykoticK9: oh *that*?? [02:44] i accidentally chmod'd wrong, how do i use chmod to set permissions back to default? [02:44] hmw: that's what I mean. I have the sshfs mount and then I just double click the video and let it run in quicktime/vlc [02:44] I have the .deb installed but I don't know the package name (package name != basename of .deb!) [02:44] Mace: the Display I was asking about is a TV. It appears to only report support for 16:9 and 4:3 resolutions despite a native resolution of 1280x768. Apparently it has a "Virtual Resolution" (for overscan?) of 1440x900. [02:44] hey people [02:44] hjdshjsd: I don't know how to do that. I've never had to deal with initramfs before so why now lol. [02:44] karrot: I can only try to do a web search [02:44] can you give the name of the chanel in spanish [02:44] how do i use chmod to get folders back to "normal" === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [02:44] memo_, #ubuntu-es [02:44] un214: do you know the name of the app at all? [02:44] thx [02:44] /etc/mtab [02:44] hmw: I hope your websearching skills far outweigh mine, I'm thinking about just popping 10.04 server on there as I have 9.10 desktop and hoping that it just fixes things [02:45] pchater: at grub prompt drop to grub console [02:45] karrot: get a live cd and use it as "server" for testing [02:45] hjdshjsd: then what? [02:45] hi, someone can tell me how was fixed the bug #554283, about usb harddrives ? [02:45] nvr mind I extracted the package to get the name [02:45] karrot: did you check the logs? [02:45] ar x works on .deb files [02:45] un214: ok [02:45] Try man mount for a short description of mtab [02:45] guitarman888, pchater: the issue Pelo is talking about was fixed *before* release and did not affect linux's ability to boot (only windows') [02:45] tomatoes7: What does "default" mean? You can just chmod *** file [02:45] hmw: I'm not exactly sure how I would check the logs [02:46] which update fix the problem?? [02:46] maco: ahh, ok. I have no clue whats up then [02:46] I dont have windows installed at all [02:46] gak, "not installed" but it is installed [02:46] than find your ubuntu partition and provide correct initrd and kernel commands [02:46] Does anyone here use a system configuration and monitoring application, such as Landscape? [02:46] mikelifeguard i typed "chmod -r 755 *" on everything in my /home directory...i regret this [02:46] Does anyone here use ident2? [02:47] maco: I only downloaded the disc today. So it's definitely Canonical's fault my system is screwed. [02:47] I can't figure out how to configure the ident [02:47] so it doesn't reply raptors [02:47] karrot: In a terminal (on the server, perhaps on the client also), type: tail -f /var/log/messages You can also search for specific lines with grep: cat /var/log/messages | grep samba be creative with the greps [02:47] ident2 -r [02:47] doesn't seem to work [02:47] well no wonder it errors out on install late enough that it acutally works but dpkg thinks it doesn't [02:47] pchater: can you boot from live CD? [02:47] un214: what's wrong? [02:47] hjdshjsd: That's what i'm doing now. [02:47] We're trying to build a driver from source with module-assentant and I get this error, which I don't understand what went wrong http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/628 [02:47] hjdshjsd: I'm on the live cd as we speak :) [02:48] hmw: I don't really know how to grep at all... [02:48] badly broken java package [02:48] pchater: so just chroot to your system and reinstall linux-image and grub-pc [02:48] karrot: i just told you [02:48] guys, i did a mistake .. i installed nvidia drivers 185 & such stuffs via aptitude, & after i restarted my system .. i get a bad resolution & no more rendering ( glxinfo | grep -i rendering ) does not return yes anymore [02:48] hmw: I'm sorry I have to go run and eat dinner, but thank you (yea I was just gonna copy and paste what you said [02:48] everything's was ok before ..; i 'm using ubuntu lucid [02:48] hjdshjsd: Got a guide? [02:48] my card is nvidia [02:48] I installed it awhile ago to try to get java web start working when iced tea wouldn't work for one site [02:48] tomatoes7: No easy way to undo that, sadly. You could `chmod -R 644 *`, but that doesn't undo it, really. [02:48] didn't realize until later that iced tea didn't work period [02:48] un214: roger [02:48] Some window border styles hide the icon of the application (top left, usually showing the orange FireFox icon in the browser). How can I make those evil window border styles show the icon? [02:49] is there a way to restore my xorg.conf ? [02:49] to default from lucid [02:49] anyway I think it's gone now I install the right one from the repository [02:49] tomatoes7: For example, stuff in ~/.ssh has different permissions than that. You might have chat logs that should be chmod 600... etc [02:49] pchater: check the web, there's a couple moments which I cannot remember now [02:49] un214: ok, good luck [02:49] nobody knows ? [02:50] mikelifeguard....damn stickyfingers of mine [02:50] !patience | paissad [02:50] paissad: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:50] paissad, Lucid doesn't use an xorg.conf by default [02:50] heh nice factoid change. thanks [02:50] paissad: i think the default is no xorg.conf file [02:50] wi am running 10.04 live usb with persistence. when i run update i get a crash with linux-image 2.6.32-22 generic.. when i reboot it says cannot read file system. should i not update a live usb even with persistence? i am using pendrivelinux with 10.04 and am a noob [02:50] why to fiddle with permissions at all? they're useless [02:51] tomatoes7: Yeah, the -r/-R options can be really troublesome :\ [02:51] pchater: just because grub doesnt print anything doesnt mean it doesnt load. if its trying to boot ubuntu at all, grub has loaded [02:51] pchater: hitting shift during boot should bring up the grub menu [02:51] tomatoes7: TBH, I'm surprised nobody has made a script to handle this case, it is areasonably common error [02:51] pchater, holding shift down is perhaps a better suggestion then simply "hitting" it [02:51] mikelifeguard....i was in the wrong directory when i ran it, fortunately its just my home directory [02:52] paissad: there is some command with dpkg-reconfigure or something. Lucid usually does not have a xorg.conf, one can create it, tho, if something is needed. Therefore you might just remove/rename it and see, if it works. [02:52] anyone? someone knows about bug#554283 "USB-Hard drive A-DATA SH93 does not work" ?? [02:52] where can I make that cuestion?? [02:52] what update fix that bug? [02:53] paissad: try Xorg -configure [02:53] paissad, if you want to create an xorg.conf see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [02:53] i am running 10.04 live usb with persistence. when i run update i get a crash with linux-image 2.6.32-22 generic.. when i reboot it says cannot read file system. should i not update a live usb even with persistence? i am using pendrivelinux with 10.04 and am a noob [02:53] 10.04 seems to have messed up the framebuffer output when i boot up, i can't see anything during the boot, but i can switch to virtual terminals just fine.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:53] karma_Police: dont use updates on a persistant live USB. [02:54] right brb, followed the chroot guide [02:54] i'll see if it freakin' works now. [02:55] so, I have a problem that's weird enough that I just need some ideas on where to even look. While I'm typing on my usb keyboard, my usb mouse is unresponsive. but only for keys that provide an actual input, so I can hold ctrl, alt, or super and still move the mouse fine :S [02:55] karma_police, perhaps INSTALLING onto the USB would be better then persistence, if what guitarman888 says is true [02:55] karma_police: updating the kernel might be a bad idea, perhaps. Don't know for sure. It might have to do with the initramfs, booting from persistance is special. Perhaps update everything except the kernel [02:55] ok... i ran the update and just omitted the linux-image. just haven't reboted yet.. hopefully it will be fine... i like the fact i can plug in into any pc and have a useable linux box :) [02:55] out of curiousity is it possible to install to a subdir of a filesystem? [02:56] BarryCanada: update a Live CD? Wow... how?? *grin* [02:56] e.g. so the bootloader can load several instances on the same filesystem? [02:56] if i install it i couldn't install on other pc's using the usb... that and i hear it would wear the usb down a lot quicker if it was installed on the usb. swap file or not.. i like showing it off.. been pretty helpful at converting windoze users.. lol [02:56] yooo i'm desperate need of help... i'm a noob to ubuntu right and i want to know if i can change the login screen on Lucid Lynx? [02:57] un214: I would install to different partitions. Sometimes I have 2 or 3 Ubuntus on one machine for maintainance, backup and experiment resons. They all mount the very same /home, btw. [02:57] I said "do not" [02:57] rhymiz, short answer is "you can't" sorry [02:57] karma_police: I know a way to do it but it would rather weird you out. [02:57] that and with live usb it has all the drivers needed for just about any pc i can think to plug it into as long as usb boot is supported [02:57] BarryCanada: I meant: How could one update the Kernel on a CD? Updating the rest should be OK, or not?? [02:57] ZykoticK9, are you sure? [02:57] updates would require slack space somewhere equal to the system size [02:58] shazbotmcnasty, why do you know a way? [02:58] gdm has been changeable on every other one... [02:58] i have a 2nd monitor (dvi) that since updating to 10.04, seems to change brightness depending on what's displayed on the screen. even when scrolling through a webpage in google chrome the brightness changes. if i use "display" to display a large image, it also goes very bright. it's extremely annoying, anyone know what might be causing this? [02:58] i'm pretty wierd so i'd try anything.. i am still a linux noob tho so it may be over my head for now ;) [02:58] karma_police: the live usb seems already optimized, logs go to the ramdisk (tmpfs). Check with: mount [02:58] shazbotmcnasty, GDM with Karmic/Lucid is a newer version that the old config tools can't use yet [02:59] karma_police: I wouldn't dare try to teach a noob how to pull this one off [02:59] ZykoticK9, so how exactly did the makers of ubuntu change it? [02:59] Does anyone here use ident2? [02:59] I can't figure out how to configure the ident [02:59] sorry [02:59] It's changable, it might be harder, but it's possible [02:59] ZykoticK9, rhymiz read this: http://www.n00bsonubuntu.com/content/how-change-login-screen-ubuntu-1004-lucid-lynx [02:59] shazbotmcnasty, well, when you find a way to do it - please share with the rest of us :) [02:59] ubuntu lucid lynx is becomming like mac... why did they stop the tweaking of the login screen? [03:00] that's one of the coolest things! [03:00] i just get scared to update as of late... have to start from scratch if it messes up.. i am assuming that the live usb doesn't take too well to linux-image updates.. must be designed for a full install [03:01] shazbotmcnasty, that seems to be Plymouth rather then GDM related? [03:01] Some window border styles hide the icon of the application (top left, usually showing the orange FireFox icon in the browser). How can I make those evil window border styles show the icon? [03:01] shazbotmcnasty, ok that will change GDM a little, but not allow installation of new themes [03:01] * guitarman888 waits while the freshly downloaded ISO of xubuntu extracts to USB to be prepared to reinstall [03:02] How could I do a web search for that Icon-Problem? [03:02] ZykoticK9, it's still changing it... [03:02] shazbotmcnasty, whatever [03:02] ZykoticK9, " yooo i'm desperate need of help... i'm a noob to ubuntu right and i want to know if i can change the login screen on Lucid Lynx?" [03:04] or rhymiz: http://www.zimbio.com/Ubuntu+Linux/articles/3QDP9PPt1Ai/how+change+login+screen+background+Lucid+lynx [03:04] Still no dice guys. [03:04] Keeps dropping to busybox. [03:04] tnx man shazbotmcnasty [03:05] hi all [03:05] Now I can't even boot into WINDOWS. [03:05] because the freakin' thing isn't in the menu.lst. [03:05] rhymiz, no prob [03:05] mikelifeguard, i don't have the proper permissions to download files using firefox [03:05] Pelo: Sry, got caught up in something away from chan, yes, I sort of understand how a ppa works but not well... [03:05] pchater: try chainloader +1 [03:05] !grub2 | pchater [03:05] pchater: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:05] i upgraded to lucid and now my usb drive won't show up on desktop so I need to mount it manually [03:05] via command line ... any way to fix this? [03:05] hmw: Been there done that, chrooted still dies. [03:06] Grub2 sucks. [03:06] oh [03:06] tomatoes7: wait, what? chmod 755 shouldn't cause that [03:06] alakhia, why via command line? [03:06] Has there been any update to fix sound on 10.04 from an update? [03:06] hmw: Isn't a problem with grub2 really tbh... it's more the fact i'm getting busybox. [03:06] Also, how does one go about installing the Enlightenment desktop in ubuntu? [03:06] i'm using xfce ... no places menu [03:06] I previewed it in OpenGEU and I really liked it. [03:06] mikelifeguard, what about chmod 644, does that do that? [03:06] theGman, meaning that you add the ppa to your sources.list ( repository) and when the latest wine relase becomes available you will get upgraded automaticaly [03:07] theGman, "sudo apt-get install e16" should work [03:07] mikelifeguard, i ran chmod 644 and it looked like all my files disappeared or when invisible [03:07] Pelo: Yeah, that's the part I got. I thought you were referring to a bit more in-depth. [03:07] xfce is sying horse, I'd migrate to gnome [03:07] shazbotmcnasty: i used to be able to click on the desktop icon for thumb drive and it would mount for me [03:07] shazbotmcnasty: now, it doesn't do anything when I plug the drive in [03:07] alakhia, oh it's a thumb drive? [03:07] pchater: reinstall grub from a live CD doesnt help? Try using a windows CD and use the recovery console to restore the MBR and other boot stuff, then reinstall Grub over it. I gotta check out, what busybox really is... [03:07] OHHHH [03:07] ZykoticK9: Thx. But isn't the current vers 17? Not sure though... [03:07] k sorry read problem wrong [03:07] shazbotmcnasty: yes, it's a thumb drive ... same for cdrom too [03:08] why would rhythmbox conflict with winbind [03:08] ZykoticK9: I'm sure I can figure that part out. :) [03:08] wine is still failing to run some of my windows apps... i wish Ubuntu couldn't partner up with Adobe, but i guess it wouldn't happen cause Adobe is after money ubuntu is after open source [03:08] theGman, e17 is not in repo - might be possible to find a PPA or manually install [03:08] hmw: initfrms or something like that. [03:08] easy solution: not to use obsolete, obscure desktops [03:08] i wish ubuntu could! [03:08] alakhia, http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-mount-usb-flash-drive-from.html [03:08] shazbotmcnasty: any idea what could be wrong? does lucid need hal? [03:08] Anyone have trouble with their sound disappearing after upgrade to 10.04? [03:08] ZykoticK9: Ah. [03:08] rhymiz: try "playonlinux" [03:08] alakhia, I don't run lucid, I don't know about it's problems [03:08] pchater: i will do a web search and learn, what it is exactly. It seem to be a very useful tool [03:09] shazbotmcnasty: i know how to mount from command-line ... i would rather not have to do that though [03:09] hmw: Something evil which doesn't let me boot >:(! [03:09] tomatoes7: 644 gives you rw, and everyone else read-only access... I guess you should use find to set o+x on directories... Yes, I suppose not being able to chdir into a directory might make firefox unable to save a file (that shouldn't be the case, but I don't know how firefox innards work) [03:09] Guys I have a problem with volume sliding ... The PCM slider moves only after master=0, and vice versa.. (dell inspiron 9400 : hda intel ich7 ) http://tinypic.com/m/a2y6nc/1 (video) it is very hard to control the volume.. is there a way I can make only the PCM slider move when i increase or decrease the volume.. [03:10] alakhia: perhaps your Nautilus is just not displaying the icons for drives? If no drive shows up at all, then try: gconftool --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible true [03:10] tomatoes7, directories need to have execute permission in order to enter them - if you're using recursive 644 I'm guessing it will cause A LOT of permission issues [03:10] mikelifeguard, yeah chmod made all my permissions go "-rw-r--r--"....i want everything to go to "-rwxr-xr-x" how do i do that? [03:10] dear all [03:10] tomatoes7, files shouldn't be executable! [03:10] tomatoes7: chmod 755, which is what you had previously O__o [03:10] moning fr jakarta indonesia [03:11] good morning makdin [03:11] hi all [03:11] hmmm [03:11] hmw: ok, did that and reinserted thumb drive ... nothing [03:11] tomatoes7: just make them all 777 [03:11] hjdshjsd, no man...no [03:11] hmw: do i need to restart xfce? [03:12] hjdshjsd: um, no [03:12] um why not? it's a home directory? [03:12] alakhia: oops... i wasnt aware that your'e not in Gnome, sorry, no clue here === Prodego is now known as ershad === ershad is now known as Prodego [03:12] hjdshjsd, please don't make such suggestions [03:12] Hello, how do I remove the current keyboard layout indication from the panel? [03:12] hmw: no problem ... thanks for trying [03:12] mikelifeguard, i ran mkdir Apps, and got a folder with permissions "drwxr-xr-x" so i figured i'd want "-rwxr-xr-x" but perhaps not [03:13] tomatoes7, directories should have the x, but files shouldn't [03:13] ZykoticK9, ok thanks that makes sense [03:13] ZykoticK9: what's wrong with that suggestion? care to explain? [03:13] tomatoes7: no, you don't. x on directories means you can 'cd' into the directory. On files, it makes them executable. [03:14] hjdshjsd, the logical progression of your suggestion would be to install Windows and forget about security [03:14] Time to help people. :) [03:14] tomatoes7: you can recursively set perms, you need 2 commands, one for dirs, the other for files. If you want 0755 for dirs and 0644 for files, issue: cd find . -type file -exec chmod 0644 {} \; find . -type directory -exec chmod 0755 {} \; [03:14] hmw, thanks [03:14] tomatoes7: the . in the find commands is the directory, where it starts, btw [03:14] bumping my question again Guys I have a problem with volume sliding ... The PCM slider moves only after master=0, and vice versa.. (dell inspiron 9400 : hda intel ich7 ) http://tinypic.com/m/a2y6nc/1 (video) it is very hard to control the volume.. is there a way I can make only the PCM slider move when i increase or decrease the volume.. [03:15] hjdshjsd: x shouldn't be set on things that don't need to be executable; and allowing other users to edit your files is an even worse idea [03:15] ZykoticK9: what kind of security? is he hiding his home dir from FBI or something? it's a single-user machine, permissions only get in the way [03:15] tomatoes7: hmw clearly knows what they're doing better than I do [03:15] * mikelifeguard peaces out [03:15] dude [03:15] Hey, how would I make the windows equivalent of a file sharing server thing? [03:15] Like where I can have a shared folder on my network that my laptop can access? [03:15] hello, my NIC using e1000e is sporadically getting disconnected. How can I track the problem? syslog or messages does not report any errors. This problem was also with karmic (currently lucid) Then I had installad wicd instead of network manager, and that helped decreasing the frequency of experiencing the problem [03:16] brax, look into Samba [03:16] Sorry to disturb here.. I'm having a panic moment. Just accepted the update to 10.04 from 9.10 (64bit).. and now Ubuntu is hanging at boot on fsck. [03:16] omg methinks i am no longer a newbie [03:16] brax: ask in ##windows about windows stuff? :) [03:16] anyone know if you can sync an ipod touch when using the livecd with 10.04? [03:16] how do i add extra workspaces in 10.04? [03:16] hmw, :) [03:16] mikelifeguard: No, I wanted the windows equivalent of a server on _ubuntu_. [03:16] aha [03:16] They don't know the definition of "open source". [03:16] litlle bit of knowledge.... [03:16] !samba | brax [03:16] brax: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:16] How do I remove the current keyboard layout indication from the panel? [03:17] brax: well, some of them do. I did [03:17] is anybody in lucid experiencing nautilus crashes when one checks the trash? [03:17] Dang it. You don't get my question... [03:17] How do I install the source for postgre under ubuntu 8.04? there must be a package [03:17] Wavesonics, right click the switcher / preferences / add columns [03:17] Like how would I have a shared folder on *ubuntu*? [03:17] brax, yes, in samba [03:17] Oh. [03:17] brax or ftp, or bluetooth [03:17] wolter, i'm not - but someones was mentioning that earlier [03:17] brax: Samba is the typical answer. I've never used samba, so I can't help you with specifics. [03:17] ZykoticK9, ah ok that was easy "D [03:17] brax: check out scp too [03:17] Another question: [03:17] brax, samba is compatible with window's sharing system [03:18] if that matters to you [03:18] How do I adjust the resolution during the plymouth bootup process? [03:18] SSH is like basically using a terminal in someone's computer on your network right? [03:18] sudo -u gdm gnome-controle-central didn't work for me [03:18] so, I'm listening to audio (in audacious), pause, leave, came back, hit play, audacious starts going back and forth 1 second... I played with some stuff, and now everything looks fine, but I still have no audio, any ideas? [03:18] unles u have win 7 [03:18] come on, no audio guys here? [03:18] can you sync an ipod touch in the live cd of 10.04? [03:18] it says can't find command [03:18] amikrop: it will be removed if you remove your extra keyboard layouts (it is hard coded to appear if you have more than one) [03:18] windows can access the files in a ubuntu box very easily with "WinSCP" [03:18] brax not limited to your network, but yes [03:18] brax ssh is sooo much more as well my man [03:18] So, how would I say... access my laptop from my desktop? [03:18] brax I would recommend you samba above everything [03:18] google ssh scp tunneling X11 forwarding bracx [03:19] brax: windows can access the files in a ubuntu box very easily with "WinSCP" - you dont have to configure anything, just log in with your username and password [03:19] Okay. [03:19] ZykoticK9, maybe it was me hehehe [03:19] brax: Yes, SSH allows you to securely access a computer's CLI remotely. [03:19] rhymiz, it's gnome-control-center - notice the spelling [03:19] wolter, perhaps [03:19] trism: I have 2 keyboard layouts, none of which is "extra". [03:19] Just so you no longer suggest windows solutions, both of my computers run ubuntu. So yeah. [03:20] oh.. yea tnx lol [03:20] amikrop: so the layout will stay [03:20] brax: it is way cooler to use *nix stuff for file sharing. If you wanna feel "nerdy" learn how to use nfs [03:20] brax, you can still use Samba - but NFS is the Unix/Linux file sharing default (not as easy to setup mind you) [03:20] if you use samba you would see folders vis Places>Network,,,,, from the ubuntu side | brax [03:20] any suggestion on my issue? I also tried to start in rescue mode, but it still hangs the same way on fsck. [03:20] amikrop: old layout applet has been discontinued [03:20] brax: You need to create an SSH key on the client computer. It has 2 halves - the public half goes in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote computer (you'll need some kind of pre-existing access to do that, or ask the owner of the computer). Then just run `ssh 192.168.0.x` (or any IP/hostname) to login. [03:20] !evolution [03:20] I was trying to do audio chat for the first time in empathy and it's killed all my system sound [03:21] Lupo^: huh? what happened? [03:21] hjdshjsd: I want the indicator to leave, without removing any of my 2 layouts. [03:21] Guys isn't there anyway to compose rich text email msgs in evolution? [03:21] Lupo^: i mean, does it ask you to manually fsck?? [03:21] brax: The remote computer (server) must have sshd running and properly configured for you to gain access. There are plenty of excellent tutorials on both server- and client-side configuration out there. [03:21] to developers: ubuntu lost his own identity trying to copy to mac [03:21] ok so i corrected the spelling and it says, can't open display [03:21] amikrop: write a feature request in launchpad [03:22] rhymiz, are you using an export command first? [03:22] yep [03:22] hmw: I just let 9.10 update to 10.04, and at the reboot, it just hangs there. No, it doesn't ask, it shows /dev/sda1 clean, a non-total count of files, and sits there forever. [03:22] amikrop: the indicator can be removed with a right-click / remove from panel. Should not affect the keyboard settings. Get the applet back: right click the panel / add to panel [03:22] export display=:0.0 [03:22] right? [03:22] hmw: this is not true for the keyboard indicator [03:22] hmw: in lucid anyway [03:22] hjdshjsd: OK. But can't I do it via gconf-editor or something. [03:22] trism: indeed? Oh my... amikrop: disregard what I said [03:23] hmw: it is a part of notification are now [03:23] hmw: There is no such an option. [03:23] amikrop: you can't remove it, it is hard coded, you could remove the notification area if you wanted, but then you'd lose other things, if that is a problem, you should file a bug with gnome-settings-daemon [03:23] this might not be the right place to ask but i searched the forums wiith no results. I created a disk to boot ubuntu 10.04 but when i reboot computer the set up process with not start [03:23] amikrop: why would someone ever considered this? you know people usually want to see their current layout [03:23] trism: if you remove the whole applet, it deletes keyboard layouts? I doubt that. You just loose other indications, then, i suppose [03:24] trism: OK, I will. [03:24] hmw: no, I mean, the keyboard indicator is a status icon in the notification area now, so if you really didn't want to see it, you could remove that (but as you said, you could lose other things you want to see) [03:24] i used the commands given.. export display=:0.0 then i sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center [03:24] hjdshjsd: But some may don't want that indicator (eg for keeping a minimal interface [03:24] ) [03:24] trism: right [03:24] ok, I did a reinstall of Xubuntu, with the same result. Ubuntu refuses to boot with only a flashing underscore [03:25] hello [03:25] I need some help [03:25] guitarman888: What does "the same result" mean? Is this underscore at POST? grub? while ubuntu boots? [03:25] !ask | pG|KiLLa [03:25] pG|KiLLa: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:26] ~KevinR does the disc image load? [03:26] mikelifeguard: it is after grub, when it tries to boot up. I have tried recovery mode and standard mode with the same result. its xubuntu 10.04 [03:26] if i press any key i can get to install menu but it will not do anything [03:26] you know, I'm kind of tempted to make the build/update scripts for karma_police's updatable usb installation [03:26] When i am installing ubuntu, it freezes as I choose the option "install ubuntu" i am using version 8.10. I have an acer laptop. Can someone please help me? [03:27] Thanks, anyway, guys. [03:27] if i dont press is just goes to ubuntu graphic with status bar progressing [03:27] Lupo^: I won't be able to help in this case. Just a hint for the future: I always try the live CD before using a new Ubuntu. I usually delete the old one and do a fresh install. I make scripts with all the apt-gets and gconf-tool commands. Check out my karmic-post install at http://paste.ubuntu.com/430844/ [03:27] KevinR, for how long? [03:27] guitarman888: No error messages whatsoever? Have you tried booting without 'quiet splash' on the grub command line? [03:28] no one is replying! lol... oh well.. peace! i'll be back tomorrow [03:28] mikelifeguard: no error messages what so ever. what does quiet splash do? [03:28] how to remove boot splash screen in lucid? [03:28] Lupo^: Are you still there? [03:28] kgs: yes [03:28] Okay. [03:28] quite about to cry ;P [03:29] hi [03:29] indefinately. If i press left arrow key I can see Log of whats going on and there is an error that user number is (0) [03:29] Lupo^: do you have your home on a separate partition? [03:29] guitarman888: 'quiet splash' gives you the purty spashscreen while booting instead of scrolling wall of Scary Text (TM) [03:29] Don't worry. What is happening to you is normal. There is bug and it effects everyone who is on 10.04. You haven't done anything wrong. [03:29] When i am installing ubuntu, it freezes as I choose the option "install ubuntu" i am using version 8.10. I have an acer laptop. Can someone please help me? [03:29] guitarman888: But in this case, clearly you want that text, if there is any to be had [03:29] Nope, the only partition on the hd is swap [03:29] guitarman888: I suspect you might be trying to boot from a wrong UUID [03:30] Lupo^: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/571707 <-- This is the bug report. [03:30] mikeflifeguard: the text would be welcoming. its a fresh install to the HD, and when I select the default boot in grub, all i get is a flashing underscore [03:30] Lupo^: You could boot from a Live CD (with the version you had before), resize partitions, create a new one, copy all stuff from your old /home to the new partition, then install the older Ubuntu and let it mount the new /home [03:31] Lupo^: When you boot up the purple screen comes up and the fsck gets stuck at around 70%, right? [03:31] kgs, Lupo^: A lovely bug :P ... but there is a fix that looks good in lucid-proposed now [03:31] @guitar man did you try the other kernel? [03:31] if it is relevant i am current dual booted with win Xp and Ubuntu Lucid. I used windows installer for set-up. I am now attempting to do a full install of Ubuntu [03:31] my net book wont load .22 but loads .21 [03:31] does samba go under a different name in 10.04? I have it installed, yet when I run service --status-all in terminal, samba doesnt show up [03:31] mfpockets: which one, the recoverymode one? [03:31] Kgs: the screen doesn't come up, but if I hit any alt-F* key it does show the splash. [03:31] the only kernel installed is 2.6.32-21-generic [03:31] hmw: NO. That is not going to fix it. This bug has been with Lucid since beta. [03:31] the normal one [03:31] samba4 [03:32] kgs: what are you refering to? [03:32] I have an acer aspire 1 532h running 10.04 i386 desktop and it does not correctly detect battery charge from wake up. It is always way off, any suggestions? [03:32] When i am installing ubuntu, it freezes as I choose the option "install ubuntu" i am using version 8.10. I have an acer laptop. Can someone please help me? [03:32] KevinR, to get this straight you want a dedicated ubuntu mach, you have a nice freshly burnt copy of 10,04 and you have thrown it in the drive and restrted? [03:32] pG|KiLLa, burn another cd and retry [03:32] pG|KiLLa: stay in the channel please [03:32] hmw: Lupo^'s issue. I think. [03:32] kgs: if his prior ubuntu worked, he could re-install it [03:32] ichristoper yes that is correct [03:32] @DIL i have burnt 2 CD's now with the same outcome. [03:33] Lupo^: When it happened to me I restarted (ctrl+alt+del).. Then it skipped fsck on the next boot. [03:33] ive made new livecd with fresh download with same result [03:33] kgs: I tried about a dozen times =P [03:33] pG|KiLLa, reboot and choose check cd to be sure [03:33] how do I access hidden folders such as ./mozilla? [03:33] pG|KiLLa: I assume, 8.10 might just be too old for your Computer. Drivers are compiled into the kernel and old drivers could crash on newer hardware. Check out, if a newer Live CD can boot [03:33] hmw: That's not the best solution in my opinion. Everyone is suffering from this bug, you included. Are we all going to revert to 9.10? [03:34] xpike: Ctrl+H in nautilus, -a in ls [03:34] kgs: dist upgrade makes the boot of 10.04 hang at fsck? [03:34] @xpike press ctrl-h in nautilus [03:34] kgs sorry for being nosy, what bug? [03:34] I'm not getting the bug [03:34] i mean in the terminal [03:34] @DIL I have rebooted and tried it multiple times, and i do check CD and it still freezes [03:34] hmw: That is correct. [03:34] Sensiva: Give me a moment. [03:34] kgs: so what option is there besides reinstalling? [03:34] k [03:35] i like remix alot the only quirk is prism is usless cause you have to go to the desktop folder to get to the web apps created it should be made so you can add them to your favs [03:35] if I ever got that one I would replace plymouth and upstart immediately [03:35] see what hmw said [03:35] kgs: moving his /home is a good idea anyways [03:35] okay, still nfc why my audio players appear to be working, but I don't hear anything. [03:35] hmw, Lupo^, Sensiva: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/571707 <-- THIS is the bug report for the issue at hand. I am no expert, but it seems to me that this is the issue that is effecting Lupo^ at the moment. [03:35] my google chrome keeps crashing [03:35] that would be the case that would drive me write my own bootscripts again [03:35] hello, my NIC using e1000e is sporadically getting disconnected. How can I track the problem? syslog or messages does not report any errors. This problem was also with karmic (currently lucid) Then I had installad wicd instead of network manager, and that helped decreasing the frequency of experiencing the problem [03:35] @HMW what version should i use? [03:36] hmw: Definately move home. I have always kept a seperate partition for personal, non-system files. [03:36] anyone know how to help me? I've got a fresh install of Xubuntu that hangs after grub. i am using the default kernel "2.6.32-21-generic" on xubuntu 10.04. when I select this option, all that appears is a flashing underscore, and it sits there untill I hard reboot. I know its doing nothing, because the hard disk spins down, and absolutely nothing happens.I havnt had this issue with with any other editions of [03:36] ubuntu, and the system is not duel booted (xubuntu is the only one on there) [03:37] kgs: it looks accurate. I don't have a precise % .. just 297725/9520512 blocks. [03:37] pG|KiLLa: Hmm... The last 2 releases didnt like my hardware very much. I have no idea, what you should use. Karmic perhaps, or simply the current one [03:37] but.. on my end, it -never- completes. [03:37] remix is also good cause it gives you the coice to use remix or desktop and also terminal and UNE 2d [03:37] plymouth stinketh rotten [03:37] hello can anyone tell me the simplest way to migrate from an nvidia video card to an ATI video card? should i uninstall the driver. shut down then just reboot? [03:37] pG|KiLLa: I'd use a USB thumb drive, to save on CD media. Perhaps you will download Jaunty in case Lucid wont boot [03:37] n/m. found it. [03:38] there is no good reason to need a userspace app like that one to manage io [03:38] hmw, Lupo^, Sensiva: As I said previously, this bug has been with 10.04 since beta. It effects everyone. But the good news is that it is being worked on and a fix will be available in the standard repos in a few days... I hope. [03:38] I read a lot of documentation about encrypted file system, but they seem to be for older versions. I know on Lucid they give you the option to encrypt the home folder during installation, but is there an easy way to encrypt the whole file system on Lucid and is it beneficial? [03:38] harry-houdini1: Just shut down, install it and see what happens. [03:38] kgs: thanks for the info. Knowing, that the bug is known wont help Lupo^ much, did I miss something? [03:38] kgs thanks for the info [03:38] kgs: I guess I need to download an iso and get it running on live at least, so I could dump MySQL and all the config files and stuff.. and wait. [03:39] okie doki thanks te_ [03:39] harry-houdini1: You might first do: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:39] can you make the location bar in nautilus editable instead of crumbs without using ctrl+l? [03:39] hmw: No I don't think so.. I am a little flustered. I may be repeating myself. This channel is so big, and moves to fast. [03:39] kgs: so why the hell they made a release before fixing it? [03:39] Lupo^, try mounting your system from the livecd and adding "quiet nosplash" to the boot parameters [03:39] aiother: Encrypting everything is a good idea, if you really need to be sure. There are log- and config files etc on the main file system probably containing sensitive data [03:39] im a total newb to nix (switched 3 days ago) and i was wondering how to install apt-get to an sd card for use with an acer aspire one [03:39] so im beond lost right now i just bought a usb wifi adapter d-link dwa-130 and downloaded the driver from d-links site and now have no idea what to do [03:39] KevinR_, did you use this disk for installing when you dual booted with XP? [03:40] hjdshjsd: I don't think that they were aware of it at the time. It is only in retrospect that they noticed it has been around that long. [03:40] like for example if i wanted to install vlc on an sd like i did for windows [03:40] aiother: for private use, encrypting /home will be OK [03:40] quick question. anyone know how to make an install disc or an ISO of your current os after it is all configured how you want it? i have all my drivers configured etc. [03:40] mfpockets: use apt-get -d install .... than copy it from /var/cache/apt to a drive [03:40] when trying to run livecd i get (process:245):Glib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) [03:40] hjdshjsd: The piece of 100% bug free OS has yet to be released on this planet. (Ubuntu is as close as it gets.) :) [03:41] ichristopher, No i use windows installer [03:41] moderndayzero: Dunno how to make an install disc, but you can make an image with dd, I think [03:41] used* [03:41] well thats what i want [03:41] Does any1 know where i can find a matrix rain code video in HD? ( i know it has nothing to do with ubuntu xD, i just want to use the video as wallpaper :P ) [03:41] what is dd [03:41] moderndayzero do you mean make a LiveCD iso out of your current installation? [03:41] moderndayzero: It might be possible, but I don't know. You could create a boot-USB-stick and redo configs, perhaps copying config files etc to the USB's persitance file system. YOu could later use partimage to make a backup/copy of that USB disk [03:41] KevinR_, have you tried the cd image found @ ubuntu.com [03:42] hjdshjsd: sorry total news here.. what is the -d comman doing exactly? [03:42] hey i cant change my poiunter [03:42] pointer [03:42] yes i am running lucid and i have all my drivers fixed and running accelerated3d etc [03:42] moderndayzero: maybe aptoncs [03:42] moderndayzero: `man dd` [03:42] katsuru: perhaps you want to (ab)use the screensaver as "wallpaper": http://80.109.22.34/micro-cms/self-pc/howto/ubuntu-linux/gui/animated-matrix-desktop.html [03:42] so i wanted to make an install iso out of it [03:42] mfpockets: it just downloads *.deb files, without install [03:42] moderndayzero: aptoncd [03:42] its not a problembut i cant change my pointer [03:42] moderndayzero: you might try....Ghost For Unix, g4u --> http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ [03:42] broblem [03:43] but [03:43] hjdshjsd: ok and then when i move it to other drive, what is the terminal comman to just instasll an apt? [03:43] ichristopher, yes that is where i downloaded the cd image Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS 32 but [03:43] i cant change my pointer style in appearence [03:43] hooga booga [03:44] hmw, i already tried that, the Screensaver looks awesome, but as soon as applied it looks choppy and has glitches, any way to convert the screensaver into avi? :$ [03:44] Okay. So I have sshd set up and ON on this desktop. [03:44] I went to my laptop currently work-- wait a sec. [03:44] what pc are you using? [03:44] can someone help me? [03:44] anyone know how to help me?

[03:45] not sure if thats what i need [03:45] ill try that [03:45] im going to dual boot [03:45] hjdshjsd: ah! double clicking will do. Transition from windows to linux is quite overwhelming at first. Thanks!

[03:46] douglas: restart Gnome with /etc/init.g/gdm restart [03:46] Guys is there anyway to convert a ubuntu screensaver into Avi??? [03:47] douglas: restart Gnome with sudo /etc/init.g/gdm restart [03:47] ok [03:47] hmw: It is actually sudo restart gdm now... [03:47] ichristoper, yes ---duel booted Xp and 10.04 [03:47] douglas: `sudo restart gdm` [03:47] crucialhoax: uhm ok [03:47] maybe do a screen record? [03:47] IIM trying to do full wipe and install fo 10.04 [03:47] Kevin`, does your machine boot from the CD? [03:47] moderndayzero, i tried, with Recordmydesktop, it is toooo slow :S [03:48] you need to config it [03:48] my bad `` KevinR_ [03:48] its ok [03:48] when i 1st used it it was horriable [03:48] moderndayzero, i did, somehow it was still too slow, which config u using?

Is there a simple way to encrypt everything in Lucid or is it a complicated project? === KevinR_ is now known as KevinR [03:48] howe can I remove animationn on system boot? [03:48] moderndayzero, i am runing x64 ubuntu on a E8600 with 4Gb ram [03:49] i ttried that second command [03:49] aiother: it is somewhat complicated, but there are tutorials on the web [03:49] didnt work [03:49] hjdshjsd: remove `splash` from the kernel line in the file `/etc/default/grub [03:49] I am needing to install svn for e17 install but I can't seem to find just that, what should I be installing?

[03:50] theGman: subversion [03:50] when I first logged in there was a solid aguablue screen for a milliseond three though -- that's new [03:50] hjdshjsd: then on the line that says `quite splash` remove `splash` but leave the "quite" [03:50] crucialhoax: would that setting be lost at next kernel uodate? [03:50] its interesting when i come to an edge on a window it when i want to change text whenever its not a normal pointer it changes to the setting i set it to [03:50] aiother: you cannot easily access the file systems in case of emergency, when you dont know how to or forgot the keys. it is some work to do. It might affect performance or SSD-life time [03:50] trism: That will satisfy the last part of this: http://paste2.org/p/820572 ? [03:51] hjdshjsd: Then after the file is edited. In a terminal issue: `sudo update-grub` [03:51] does that give any more inf to what im dealling with [03:51] Quick Question; what bittorrent client would you recommend ?

I had accidently dropped something on it that held a random key down. some letters went accross the screen and bang, it booted up. interested, I rebooted it, held down the same key, and it did not boot up, but left me with the flashign underscore again [03:54] boa noite [03:54] !pt [03:54] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[03:55] Actually, looking on the wiki, I see a page for doing one from the ground up, I'll look at that [03:55] guitarman888: ok, now I suspect witchcraft :P [03:55] I have samba installed, yet /etc/init.d/samba restart isn't a recognized command. I don't understand - how can I start/stop samba? [03:55] Roasted: sudo restart samba [03:55] put my finger into a socket once to see what wud happen [03:55] Roasted: crucialhoax types faster than me [03:55] crucialhoax, restart: Unknown job: samba [03:55] theGman: that guide is really really old. i wouldn't follow it [03:55] in ludic when trying to install packages from software center, I always get "software cannot be authenticated"warnings. But doesnt give me the option to allow them anyways. so i have to install from the cli in order to accept it. How can i fix it so i can allow the install from software center? [03:55] mikelifeguard: hahahahha that would make things simple wouldnt it? 9.04 and 9.10 both installed without a hitch, and now ive got this crap going. [03:56] guitarman888: Is it a totally new install? [03:56] onetinsoldier: Ok then, better suggestion? === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [03:56] mikelifeguard: yes, its a totally fresh install. I even went as far as doing a complete format, and redoing the partition tables myself. no dice [03:56] crucialhoax, any idea? [03:56] Roasted: Type `service` in a terminal then do a quick double tap of the TAB key, it will list all services, is Samba there? [03:57] onetinsoldier: Since I'm unable to find out what the diffs are between e16 and e17.. [03:57] mikelifeguard: as it stands, ive reinstalled about 6 times [03:57] guitarman888: it's called opensource: more working systems -> less support contracts-> bad thing [03:57] LuckySMack: I think you're missing the keys the software is signed with... is there a metapackage to pull those in maybe? I suppose it must be possible somehow to do it manually too... dunno [03:57] crucialhoax, I ran service --status-all, and I did not see "samba" in the list. I saw "smbd" but thats the closest thing I found. [03:57] theGman: i might be interested in getting the e17 svn source as well for the heck of it. so i am looking. so far, i've landed here --> http://svn.enlightenment.org/ [03:57] mikelifeguard: when I downloaded torrents in vista I used a peer block program, Is there one for ubunut, and should I use it ? [03:57] crucialhoax, samba is installed tho. apt-get install samba = 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove. [03:57] guitarman888: It took me about that many times to finally get 10.04 on mine from 9.10 live cd. :) [03:57] guitarman888: Are you sure the iso or whatever you used to install is correct [03:58] mikelifeguard, yea they are packages that are in the standard repos. I havent added any [03:58] SSDF: what do you use it for? transmission has a block list... but I don't know if that's the same thing [03:58] SSDF: Transmission has a block list (dunno offhand where it comes from) that you can use. Might as well use it [03:58] theGman: this guy doesn't exactly go over the differences, but it might give you an idea --> http://linux-blog.org/enlightenment-17-review/ [03:58] Roasted: That is probably it then. [03:58] LuckySMack: you still need the signing keys to verify the downloads though :\ [03:58] rtorrent is a joy and a dream once you let yourself settle with it for a couple torrents. [03:58] brax: im pretty sure its correct. I grabbed it from the xubuntu website, and used one of the mirrors listed. it also runs in live mode flawlessly [03:58] guitarman888: Sorry, I really have no clue at this point [03:58] How can I make icons appear under the System menu? [03:58] mikelifeguard: thanks anyways man, I appreciate it [03:59] brax: you disappeared :P [03:59] onetinsoldier: Thx :) [03:59] crucialhoax, not sure. I kind of doubt it tho the way its acting. [03:59] amikrop: Right click on the menu and choose `edit menus` then you can add what you need. [03:59] theGman: and if you want to use a nice gui to download svn, i can recommend 'esvn' [03:59] crucialhoax, just sorta frustrating, since I rely on samba heavily and just upgraded to 10.04 [03:59] mikelifeguard: Whu? [03:59] Roasted: ? [03:59] brax: you were having some wifi problem, weren't you? Did you fix it? [03:59] theGman: you're welcome :) [04:00] Roasted: samba frustrations? [04:00] guitarman888: That's curious. Perhaps you should download again? I know it seems like it won't work, but it appears you've done almost everything within your control already. [04:00] crucialhoax: No, I mean bring the icons before the menu entries, back (like in 9.10). [04:00] brax: I've tried redownloading from a different mirror already with the same result. im really baffled by this [04:00] mikelifeguard: Nope. I think since the laptop is booting off of a live usb and the proper drivers aren't installed, the wifi isn't appearing. [04:00] Thanks mikelifeguard and joshuah [04:01] mkquist, Im pretty familiar with samba, so when I installed 10.04 earlier today I went through the regular motions of adding users, re-linking up my shares, etc. but the samba service isnt running, and yet samba is installed, I've rebooted, etc, but when I sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart (like 9.10 and before) it fails to do anything. nothing samba related is listed in /etc/init.d and service --status-all doesnt show samba as running. [04:01] amikrop: I do not know what you are talking about. [04:01] brax: the only thing ive managed to get to boot successfully is the memory test [04:01] guitarman888: Well, then. I'm sorry, my level of experience has been surpassed. [04:01] Roasted: try sudo smbd restart.... [04:01] mkquist, I did. [04:01] brax: thanks anyways. I appreciate it [04:01] Roasted: know you pain [04:01] LOL I've installed updates and now GDM is crashing, gg [04:01] Roasted: if it's not running try "start" [04:01] mkquist, wait a second. [04:01] * iamthefrenchman doesnt like 10.04.... too much has changed without aparrent rationale nor reason... like stuff has just been changed on a whim, just for the heck of it... [04:01] Roasted: I have samba installed as well and running `sudo restart smbd` I got a service restart, however using `samba` did not work. [04:01] Roasted: smbd? [04:01] brax: Entirely possible. You can install the drivers to get wifi on the laptop working though... it wouldn't be permanent though. But why are you using a LiveUSB instead of installing it? O.o [04:02] hjdshjsd: Can i delete all other debs in var/cache/apt/archives ? [04:02] * iamthefrenchman also didnt get the minimal version to work :P [04:02] Roasted: had the same problem the other night and was more than a little frustrated, but got samba sorted out finally across my three machines [04:02] I ran sudo restart smbd, but service--status-all shows [ ? ] smbd [04:02] amikrop: there are supposed to be icons next to each program in system -> preferences or system -> administration [04:02] Roasted: sudo smbd start? [04:02] what's the command to join another room? [04:02] mikelifeguard: My laptop absolutely detests anything but that-which-shall-remain-unnamed. [04:02] mkquist, let me fire up my laptop to see if I can connect [04:02] I accidentally closed a document with an enourmous amount of work and discareded the changes. I didn't save it (shame on me!). Is there any way at all to recover it? [04:02] mfpockets: they are usually removed automatically, but yes, you can [04:02] uncannywhizz: /join [04:02] uncannywhizz: /join #room [04:02] heh [04:02] mkquist, neither start or restart shows smbd as running. its always ? [04:02] uncannywhizz: /j #whatever [04:02] Roasted: seems to be [04:02] does the ubuntu-server kernel have the XTS modue once installed?

(like in 9.10) [04:03] I'm using open office [04:03] hjdshjsd: any reason you think they wouldnt have? i have 280 mb of debs in there [04:03] MikeBanks: like in System->About GNOME [04:03] How do I auth my self with server [04:03] mkquist, seems as if it worked - my mac is asking me what share to connect to... [04:03] Roasted: there you go.. =) [04:03] amikrop: icons for what, Help and Support or About GNOME? [04:03] Roasted: smbd start/running, process 2850 That is my output, you do not see any of that? [04:03] Can someone tell me the files that are in their /boot/grub directory? I accidentally installed grub into a partition instead of the whole disk, and I think I have extra files [04:03] Here is my /boot/grub: http://pastebin.com/0ZJWxcFh [04:03] help my GDM is crashing when I press 'login' button, and X restarts too!!

[04:06] i tried sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 [04:06] hehe [04:06] but thats not working [04:06] !botabuse [04:06] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [04:06] Another Quick question; When you click on a drop down menu, it is totally empty except the selected option, however if you run your mouse up and down it high lights the one it is over. It used to actually show them all. [04:06] hjdshjsd: i cannot drag them to trash. error says denied [04:06] !botabuse [04:06] hello i have an old ati rage theater 9950AA I am trying to get it to work with 10.04 anyone know where to find drivers [04:06] SSDF: That's not normal, AFAIK :) [04:06] mkquist, what do you mean, share ntfs folders? you have ntfs partitions you share out by samba? [04:07] mikelifeguard: whats not normal ? The options not actually showing up unless moused over ? [04:07] yes [04:07] SSDF: At least, if I understand what you're describing correctly [04:07] tomatoes7: i think the bot doesn't repeat the same factoid into the channel quickly in succession. you have to wait a few minutes [04:08] Can someone post the files in their /boot/grub? I think mine has extra files: http://pastebin.com/0ZJWxcFh [04:08] MikeBanks: yes, and I found ti here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468099 [04:08] Well say you go to a preferences in well tranmission, click the drop down menu for save to : [04:08] Roasted: there just network shares... [04:08] Text does not show up [04:08] KnifeySpooney: this is mine http://pastebin.com/3dC3u4Ye [04:09] mkquist, right... but if theyre network shares, what does ntfs folders have to do with the equation? [04:09] Icons do, and when you mouse of the icons the text to the right appear. [04:09] I am having issues getting FGLRX to work properly. I have fglrx installed but when i do fglrxinfo there is no output. 3d is also inoperable [04:09] Roasted: just had a problem sharing the ntfs folders initially after new install is all [04:09] hi people i got a problem using ubuntu server edition... i cant make ebox run propertly... can i have some help here??? [04:09] gimme a sec DM [04:10] MikeChelen: thanks, I guess that solves that [04:10] i have a good tut for you [04:10] moderndayzero: kk [04:10] mkquist, *shrug* I'm not sharing anything ntfs. Just allowing windows/linux/mac users to connect to their samba share accordingly on my ubuntu box :P [04:10] does ubuntu server use the same kernel as desktop? [04:10] moderndayzero: I even tried to install the driver directly from ATI, but that made things worse [04:10] Roasted: just a comment, in case you might have been [04:10] enav: you can try #ubuntu-server, which is much quieter, and might have better expertise [04:11] crypt-0 is the same kernel but different configuration and without xorg graphic environment [04:11] crypt-0: NO - according to the official book there is a custom server kernel [04:11] mikelifeguard thanks mate [04:11] DM|: i'd recommend to try, renaming the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then... as root, run aticonfig --initial [04:11] moderndayzero: One sec, somehow installing FGLRX again wiped my xorg.conf clean [04:11] sorry think I messed up the pastebin but i pasted mine KnifeySpooney [04:11] DMnhere ya go [04:11] moderndayzero: aye, i restored it to a previous setup, gonna reboot and try [04:11] http://ubuntugeek.com/forum/index.php/topic,223.msg763.html#msg763 [04:12] linuxmonster: thanks I see it, posted by linuxwolf? [04:12] gah, I think im just gunna drop kick my laptop and get a life. [04:12] Yes thats the name I always used but someone took it on here as I was away for a few years lol [04:13] Ok.. I've decided to upgrade 8.04 to 10.04 via live cd.. as in fresh install.. when I get to the partitioning section and choose manual it does not show the 7 partitions on the drive. (laptop 1 drive, dual boot w/XP) .. How do I assign already created partitions? [04:14] K, my question is, what all can be removed without messing up the install? I've heard `sudo apt-get purge totem` can remove ubuntu-desktop, etc [04:14] If I could, I want to take the existing LiveCD and remove most of the things [04:14] Scunizi: did you choose Advanced and then to manually select partitions? [04:14] Hi! [04:15] non trovo un programma per agg e rimuovere prog [04:15] onetinsoldier: Does it matter that the script at the svn link you gave is getting from debian trunk? [04:15] onetinsoldier: didn't see an "Advanced button".. just one for manually choosing partitions [04:16] theGman: sorry, i haven't tried to get the svn yet. but no, that probably doesn't matter. should be fine [04:16] linuxmonster, final question, what is written inside your /boot/grub/video.lst ? Mine is missing and one forum thread says to just put 'vbe' into it and chmod 644 [04:16] onetinsoldier: K. [04:16] Scunizi: ok, sorry. but that's what you want [04:16] !hi |NinoScript [04:16] NinoScript: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [04:16] moderndayzero: Yeah... that didnt work at all, now its telling me FGLRX isnt a module, even though its installed. [04:16] onetinsoldier: k.. I'll take a look. [04:16] hpw to unpack rpm file in ubuntu? [04:16] I have an acer aspire 1 532h running 10.04 i386 desktop and it does not correctly detect battery charge from wake up. It is always way off, any suggestions? [04:16] moderndayzero: I didnt try that link yet. Thats quite a bit of work arounds: P [04:17] hjdshjsd: Why would you? Not trying to be smart here... [04:17] Scunizi: i think it's after you choose to manually select your partitions that it'll say 'Advanced' === sant0 is now known as santobob [04:17] That and my edge scrolling STILL doesnt work. Been a bug for 3 1/2 months [04:17] my buddy wrote the tut and worked from both him and i [04:17] hjdshjsd: I would suggest finding an ubuntu/debian compat file first. :) [04:17] hjdshjsd: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/23/installing-using-an-rpm-file/ [04:17] I want to write japanese as I did it on MacOSX, I think the name of the input method is: Kotoeri. With that method, for the syllabe ゕ(ka) I just typed k-a [04:17] theGman: it's a data file, not a program [04:18] hjdshjsd: yeah.. what theGman said. i've been down that road before. i said forget it [04:18] KnifeySpooney, I dont have a video.lst in mine. And doing a locate video.lst which should check the entire drive returned no such file/dDir [04:18] NinoScript: most input methods work like this [04:18] onetinsoldier: i'll look [04:18] hjdshjsd: Ah, Whew! :P [04:18] i did it! [04:19] linuxmonster, I'm getting an error that says "head: cannot open `/boot/grub/video.lst' for reading: No such file or directory" when I run update-grub2 [04:19] hjdshjsd: Just lookin' out for ya man. Got yer bak right? :) [04:19] hjdshjsd, But the japanese layouts I see, write 1 kana for each letter I type :S [04:19] Anyone else's edge scrolling on their laptop not functional? [04:19] NinoScript: there's a swith to latin mode [04:19] KnifeySpooney, cant help ya sorry as I have no such file either but I dont get grub or boot-up errors either. [04:19] onetinsoldier: nope.. no advanced button [04:19] oxyrosis: Uh, did what exactly? o.O [04:19] linuxmonster, okay thanks [04:20] hjdshjsd: if it's just a data file, you could maybe try 'alien' [04:20] Helping people is fun. [04:20] so linux gurus, i have a problem with ubuntu. I updated recently and now i have no more functionallity of VLC or GIMP. i think it is a python related issue, and synaptic doesn't see any broken packages. how can i help you help me? [04:20] oxyrosis: What exactly is happening? [04:21] Scunizi: ok, well, just choose to manually select/make your partitions. see if what you were looking for shows up in there now [04:21] well let me get an exact erroro message, hold on [04:21] hjdshjsd, can't find anything like it :( [04:21] oh, look at that, they are not avaliable for selection anymore, its almost as if they have vanished [04:21] hi, my name is peter and im from brazil, my english is not very good [04:21] i need a help for understand [04:22] oxyrosis: output of "sudo apt-get install gimp vlc" ? [04:22] avuordep, /join #ubuntu-br [04:22] two secs. . . [04:22] oxyrosis: any errors there? [04:22] onetinsoldier: nope.. 7 partitions exist already and it wants me to "repartition" the entire drive. [04:22] DM|: Define edge scrolling? Do you mean moving your mouse beyond the edge of the desktop to go to the next that kinda thing? [04:22] sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0666, should be 0440 [04:22] " [04:23] mode 666 is pretty ominious [04:23] theGman: touchpads on laptops have the right side dedicated to the same functionality of a mouse's scroll wheel [04:23] Scunizi: none of your partitions show up in there? what 'type' of partitions were they? [04:23] oxyrosis: hurrmmm [04:23] !br | avuordep [04:23] avuordep: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:23] DM|: Ah, right. Hang on, let me see what mine does. [04:23] how can i load a modue on the server cd ? [04:23] hurrmmm is ominious too [04:23] DM|: Mine works fine. [04:23] Scunizi: up on the far upper right corner, have you selected the proper drive? does this system have more than one drive? [04:24] oxyrosis: sounds like your permissions are screwed up, Im not confident enough how to advise you to fix it [04:24] oxyrosis: i think u have to change back atributes [04:24] how do i do that uspenok? [04:24] help me input japanese characters as with macs :D [04:24] oxyrosis: do u have another linux ? [04:24] ok, tks [04:25] onetinsoldier: It's a Dell vostro 1400.. so 1 fat32 for the "media" button, NTFS, 1 hidden fat32, ext3 /, ext3 /home & swap.. Even gparted shows no allocated space on the drive [04:25] as in another installation? yes. but i cannot access it anymore [04:25] I'm having issues with transcode. The output is choppy, like the video lags for a sec, is fine for a sec, then lags, etc. The player is not lagging, I checked that already. [04:25] brb [04:25] oxyrosis: Ok. u should have ubuntus livecd, don't u ? [04:25] i have one on a thumb drive [04:26] Scunizi: if you type in --> sudo parted -l ....on a command line, do they show up in the output? [04:26] The source video is fine. If I should ask elsewhere, point me in the right direction. :) [04:26] oxyrosis: I think uspenokMay be having you go for re-install #7! :P [04:26] hello can someone give me a hand? I lost access to some of my Internet radio stations on rhythmbox. says I am missing a plugin [04:26] yeah, i am having trouble with that one too [04:27] !plugins |motkue [04:27] sometimes it works, most of the time it tells me that my bios cannot support linux and i should complain. [04:27] seeing as i am on linux RIGHT NOW, i am confused by that error [04:27] ubuntu to be exact, 9.04 [04:27] oxyrosis: u need to boot from livecd and change permissions to file /еtc/sudoers [04:28] onetinsoldier: "error" can't have overlapping partitions.." which doesn't make any sense since this laptop has been and is still running XP and 8.04 with no issues since the 8.04 release.. [04:28] guess i'll stay on debian until they fix all those horrendous bugs; good morning all [04:28] oxyrosis: by the command "chmod /path/to/the/mounted/drive/etc/sudoers 044" [04:28] oxyrosis: by the command "chmod /path/to/the/mounted/drive/etc/sudoers 0444" === Intey is now known as PhilippK87 [04:29] Scunizi: yeah. well, i'm not shocked. it means you'll need to repartition from scratch. linux doesn't like something about your partition tables [04:29] uspenok: you have it backwards.. sudo chmod 0444 [04:29] where can I go to get help getting UBunrtu to recognize my USB Wireles adapter? [04:29] locke: dmesg [04:29] onetinsoldier: or just do the standard online upgrade [04:29] tonsofpcs, dmesg? [04:29] oxyrosis: by the command "chmod /path/to/the/mounted/drive/etc/sudoers 0440" - that is wright [04:30] Scunizi: yeah. you could do that i reckon [04:30] how can i load a modue on the server cd ? [04:30] moderndayzero: So installing that new kernel fixed my touchpad issue. :D still going through the long long long tut [04:30] locke, if Ubuntu does not see it when you plug it in, then you may need to use ndiswrappers. I would google for that and have the windows driver disk handy [04:30] what would an example of the path look like? [04:30] how come since I updated to 10.04, the view in Nautilus is changed, i.e., I cannot get the "buttons" to move around folders anymore? [04:31] ? i thought u had 3d problems [04:31] Alright thanks linuxmonster [04:31] How much space does a ubuntu repo take? [04:31] moderndayzero: I did, the touchpad was a different issue [04:31] onetinsoldier: maybe testdisk will see if there is an issue? [04:31] Scunizi: i once had the same problem. linux didn't like something about my current partition tables at the time. i wanted to install fresh anyway, so i repartitioned [04:31] I created a 100gig partion and I can access it but I can't put files on it, it says I don't have permission..? [04:31] I'd like to mirror a repo [04:31] locke, typing lsusb will also give you an idea if its being seen at all and what chipset it is using [04:31] moderndayzero: It just fixed another issue while im trying to fix this one, :D [04:31] oxyrosis: sorry one more correction "chmod 0440 /media/some_thing_here/etc/sudoers" [04:32] I created a 100gig partion and I can access it but I can't put files on it, it says I don't have permission..how do i stop this? I know the password it just says because of lost and found or something...anyone got an idea? I've tried formatting it [04:32] onetinsoldier: but then I'm reinstalling *everything* including windows.. I really don't want to go there if I don't have to . [04:32] i'm having a bit of a trouble with firefox (please don't tell me to go there, wait for it ;) ) with a fresh upgrade from karmic to lucid : when clicking on a link in any other application, if firefox is already running, the link will load but ffox won't get focus. so far, the closest explanation i've got, after tweaking about:config, is a compiz-related problem [04:32] but the trouble is, there was no further explanation about it... [04:32] linuxmonster, in terminal? [04:32] hey! Do I have to do anything to my ubuntu accept tcp packets, no hum? [04:32] oxyrosis: but before u have to mount it of course. just click on item in menu on youre disc [04:32] FloodBot4: Nautilus [04:33] Scunizi: i hear you. it's what i did though. just letting you know [04:33] oxyrosis: and after that reboot to youre system and "sudo apt-get install vlc gimp" [04:33] Durf: Sounds like you may have it mounted ro instead of rw. [04:33] so all this is to be done on the live cd? [04:33] onetinsoldier: thanks.. [04:33] Durf: You could create a fstab entry for it. [04:33] locke, yes in terminal you dont need to be root at all, also see what dmsh says both are helpful. if its not a usb adapter then use lspci instead [04:33] Scunizi: you're welcome. good luck [04:33] te_ how? [04:33] what do u type in the terminal to get a admin file browser? [04:33] hum... my ubuntu is accepting ping requests [04:33] when launching firefox, everything goes smoothly, the new firefox window will pop up as a charm ; but when not, it'll stay in the background, with the tray blinking to tell me something happened : i have then to click on it/alt-tab to it [04:33] locke, dmsg sorry [04:34] jew_ : did you try "sudo nautilus" === Guest70367 is now known as vblando [04:34] onetinsoldier: isn't it called testdisk? or is it a different name? [04:34] no i put 2 "l"'s haha thanks [04:34] Durf: Would first have to see what the device is and what partition you have created. [04:34] jew_: gksu nautilus [04:34] oxyrosis: 1) boot from live cd 2) click on the disk in the menu 3) chmod 0440 /media/some_thing_here/etc/sudoers" 4) reboot to youre system and "sudo apt-get install vlc gimp" [04:35] linuxmonster, what is dmsg? [04:35] okay, thanks alot, i'll try it [04:35] Durf: pastebin the results of fdisk -l [04:35] oxyrosis: gl [04:35] What are "debugging symbols"? [04:35] Durf: sudo fdisk -l [04:35] Hi, for some reason Compiz is blurring behind ALL window titlebars when I only want blur behind Docky. I have the window filter "class=notification | class=Docky" for Blur windows in compizconfig-settings-manager, but I still see a blur behind all titlebars (when I make the window transparent) [04:35] !gksu > mezimezim [04:35] mezimezim, please see my private message [04:35] oxyrosis: good luck i mean [04:36] This is a problem because having the blur on all titlebars makes moving windows sluggish for me [04:36] KnifeySpooney: That's an OR, you want an AND I think [04:36] Durf: How do you have it mounted now? mount === Irok is now known as haavaros [04:37] linuxmonster, what is dmsg? and more importantly how do I use it, where do I find it etc. [04:37] my typing sucks tonight locke sorry dmesg is something another also suggested. but having used it just now I think that would list to much. Just use lspci or lsusb to try see if it can atleats see what the chipset is [04:37] mikelifeguard, I want an OR because class=notification will blur all the notify-osd bubbles, and class=Docky will blur my transparent Docky bar (window list manager) [04:37] The window doesn't necessarily have to be both, in fact it should never be both [04:37] Durf: mount | pastebinit [04:37] what is this (from dmesg)? [ 37.554617] [drm] nouveau 0000:0a:00.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon [04:37] locke: dmesg its a loging function in linux, just tape dmesg in terminal [04:38] KnifeySpooney: Sorry, I misread 'class' [04:38] uspenok: I meant, what is that specific message from dmesg? [04:38] no worries :) [04:38] help [04:38] hello, my NIC using e1000e is sporadically getting disconnected. How can I track the problem? syslog or messages does not report any errors. This problem was also with karmic (currently lucid) Then I had installad wicd instead of network manager, and that helped decreasing the frequency of experiencing the problem [04:38] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ieA0FBuX te_ [04:38] my comp keeps overheating and shutting down [04:38] hey guys I'm with a question of which I only partly know the reply: Does automatic log on significantly decrease ubuntu's security? [04:38] KnifeySpooney: does that blur go away if you blank the rule entirely? [04:38] help [04:39] or does it merely protect against peers getting in your account [04:39] michael1982, open the case and see if your fan on the cpu has died or is loose heatsink [04:39] freshlyinstalled, no [04:39] freshlyinstalled: yes, if others have access to your machine. [04:39] michael1982 did you chek the fan cooler? i mean is clear no dust in there? [04:39] physical access [04:39] crdlb: Hmmmmm nope, so I guess that is not the issue. The blur does disappear if I disable the whole effect however [04:39] it only got replaced 3 months ago [04:40] freshlyinstalled, fro remote access you still need to log in with your password [04:40] roberto_: can't understand what u about. dmesg- logging most important event on youre system. Errors, warringe etc. [04:40] in other words: auto log on is no problem as long as nobody phisically comes behind my pc and "hacks" my account [04:40] and is there a program that can tell me how hot my comp is getting [04:40] linuxmonster, it at least picks it up! using lsusb it picke dup the NETGEAR adapter [04:40] roberto_: what specific messages do u mean [04:40] michael1982, okay but I would still check to make sure the heatsink has not come unclip or is loose. or the fan died it happens trust me I build computers for a side living [04:41] freshlyinstalled: that is true. [04:41] nice thanks guys! [04:41] uspenok: you're right, you don't understand. I'm not asking "what is dmesg" I'm asking, "what is that message I pasted at the end?" [04:41] oh ok ill do it tonight [04:41] actually te_ I just want to increase space on my current partition [04:41] does it list the chipset it is using like ralink #### or something similar [04:41] ummm can i get a diagram for opening my dv51004ax computer? [04:41] te_ The partition I am using, but to edit it in gparted I need to unmount it, if I unmount the partition I am currently using what'll happen? [04:42] freshlyinstalled: if you're the only user of the system, and you not worried about someone being able to come in and turn on the power and be logged in automatically, then turn on auto login if you want [04:42] what does this log mean (from dmesg)? [ 37.554617] [drm] nouveau 0000:0a:00.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon [04:42] and will ubuntu still warn me whenever it wants to install something after activating autologon (which I don't mind and rather like than dislike)? [04:42] Durf: Nothing. [04:42] freshlyinstalled: Yes, that's a security feature. [04:43] freshlyinstalled: you'll need admin password still to update the system or programs [04:43] Durf: Oh the one you are currently using? You can not umount it. [04:43] freshlyinstalled: autologin just means it logs you in automatically at boot. [04:43] a there poeple from indonesia? [04:43] roberto_: don't know sorry :( [04:43] ? [04:43] te_ How do increase the size of my ubuntu partition then? [04:43] could someone spot what is wrong with my makefile? http://pastebin.com/jkyTb3yS i keep getting "linker input file unused because linking not done" [04:43] AWESOME! thanks MrKeuner port80web onetinsoldier TheNerdAL [04:44] ada yang bisa bahasa indonesia di sini? [04:44] freshlyinstalled: cheers [04:44] well... I have to do a portknocking project for homework, and I'm doing it in java, I created my pkClient and I guess it is sending ok tcp packets but I dont see requests in my ubuntu... [04:44] Durf: start ubuntu's live cd and run disk utility [04:44] kay [04:44] freshlyinstalled: party on! [04:44] Durf: I think you need to tell us exactly what you want/need to do? [04:44] locke, does it list the chipset it is using like ralink #### or something similar [04:44] hey - can anybody tell me what 0900 CEST is in NY right now? [04:45] port80web lol quite funny as I've just returned from install party today :p [04:45] te_ I wanna increase my ubuntu partition (I am currently using it right now) size without damaging it in any way === vblando is now known as pinoyskull [04:45] linuxmonster, it lists which device on the bus it is, I can copy/paste it to you if you wish? [04:45] want to make sure i set my clock correctly for the uds keynote [04:45] japanese input method? anyone? === pinoyskull is now known as Guest52565 [04:45] Durf: What size is / are our hard drives? [04:46] What is the new "Disk Utility" controlling? fdisk? I ask because in system > admin > there is Disk Utility and gparted.. gparted doesn't see my partitions but disk utility does.. [04:46] locke, sure you can paste it in /msg but if the module needs to be loaded and your cfg changed to load at boot I cant help you there. I am not that advanced to get into kernel builds etc. [04:46] aliciapg: pastebin the build log -- maybe someone can see what's going on [04:46] locke, but hopefully we see what chipset it is and module it needs anotrher person can help you insmod it into your kernel and make it load everytime [04:47] Where are the icons of the default "home folders" (Videos, Pictures, Documents...)?

[05:14] surgy, run "alsamixer" in a terminal and turn up the "speaker" volume manually. That will give you sound at least until you change output or reboot [05:14] I upgraded to 10.04 using sudo apt-get upgrade. now instead of going right to X I receive a command prompt at startup..

But I also hard that there were boot time improvements in UNR. Do these exist in the standard desktop install now? [05:22] greezmunkey: ok I purged and reinstalled and smbd is running. That's something at least [05:22] whyameye: and your config files? [05:22] I upgraded to 10.04 using sudo apt-get upgrade. now instead of going right to X I receive a command prompt at startup..

[05:39] greezmunkey: on the xp machine the printer says "access denied. unable to connect" but the xp machine is still able to send jobs successfully to the printer (via samba). weird. But OK I guess. [05:40] raddy: my live Cd is not mouted by UUID: it is mounted by /dev/sr0 [05:40] greezmunkey, thanks [05:40] whyameye: the printer is attached to your ubox then?

[05:42] dose anyone know hoy to get foristwire running on 10.04? because it will say this sudo update-alternatives --config java [05:42] whyameye: you probably just need to make some minor tweaks in your smb.conf file to clear that up. Here's a couple of links from my scratch file: http://www.prash-babu.com/2008/05/how-to-setup-samba-in-linux.html [05:42] http://linux.bihlman.com/tag/samba/ [05:42] greezmunkey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:42] yikes! [05:42] For some reason, even when adding custom entries to the Grub2 menu, when I boot my computer, it immediately boots into Ubuntu Lucid, without the option to choose another entry. I set default timeout to 10 seconds, but this eems to be ignored. [05:44] I am using jaunty on a Lenovo T61. I can't seem to connect to a belkin g router no matter how hard I try.

If I found out, would it matter? I would need to reboot since I am now in windows xp (yuck) [05:45] dose anyone know why 10.04 says this when i downlaod limewire Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk [05:45] help [05:45] does the Ubuntu DVD have KDE on it too?

[05:46] Does anyone have an idea about my keyboard issue? [05:46] flan_suse, is the menu.lst you are editing actually in the /boot directory (Is grub actually using that copy of the /boot directory?) [05:46] uh oh [05:46] wrong channel [05:46] Radio-b: I can connect to other networks though [05:46] stepcut251: uh, run ipconfig /All and tell me what the wlan model is? [05:46] Guest60012: what is your problem mate [05:46] phillipsjk, it's Ubuntu Lucid 10.04, so it's using Grub2. [05:46] phillipsjk, there is no menu.lst. [05:47] phillipsjk, I can see the other entries in the list flash by in a split second before it boots into Ubuntu. [05:47] greezmunkey: I got it! the trick was "use client driver = yes" in the [printers] section of smb.conf. [05:47] enav: you from down under? [05:47] greezmunkey: thanks for your help. [05:47] whyameye: did the links help?

I set default timeout to 10 seconds, but this eems to be ignored. [05:48] zetheroo: :-) Finally yes [05:48] stepcut251: if you do an iwconfig in terminal, it should list the device and whatever driver its using [05:48] whyameye: I'll check it out, and maybe add it to my scratchpad, thanks :) [05:48] enav: did it work? [05:48] Guest60012 that is a Englis kb? [05:49] whyameye: good an ya ... are you doing it through CUPS? [05:49] Radio-b: right. But then what ?

[06:03] pallgone, that's not normal right? usually you have to do a bunch of things to get it like that [06:03] powertool08, but I'll look into it some more. [06:03] greezmunkey,I pasted the result of the command [06:04] enav: no, but you are incompetent: i know this because you're asking me what gdb is [06:04] pallgone, any ideas?

[06:10] hd1: rootlinuxusr I don't think that works anymore, if it doesn't, try printscreen+k [06:10] I'm having tremendous troubles with getting my home server to not disconnect while streaming video... after about 5 minutes of playing a video from a samba share it just disconnects and I cannot ssh in, or samba in or anything for about 5 minutes... [06:10] rww [06:10] shall I try to connect now?? [06:10] lgc. I just write "mkfs.vfat" or what should I add to the command line? [06:10] phillipsjk, would that affect the timeout? [06:10] luckymurali: you are checking this on the machine you want to connect TO correct? [06:10] faryshta, it depends where is your device mounted. Probably under /media/. [06:11] powertool08: wasn't aware of that, been a long time since i messed with X to the point where it required killing [06:11] greezmunkey ,yes [06:11] I have ubuntu 9.10 installing on my laptop and after i chose install it went to an icon in the middle of the screen that goes dim then bright again, how long is it supposed to stay on this screen? [06:11] faryshta, no, of course not. You need to give parameters to the instruction. [06:11] now I will go to other machine and try to connect this machine [06:11] I have looked into xargs for creating sha1sum, but how do I send the output to multiple file? [06:11] enav, I ran an "apt-get upgrade" on 910, and after 10.04 installed it doesn't automatically start to X. I login throug the command prompt, and run a startx. After x starts I loose all i/o (keyboard and mouse) but its not frozen and everything looks good.. When i hit the sigterm by pressing the power button, i notice that an error while its unloading.. After xorg.conf started there is an EE/HAL config -could not initalize cont [06:12] Ok, let me read the documentation, thanks lgc. [06:12] Flan_suse yes, but I don't know what those "if" statements do. The timeout is only set if recordfail=1 [06:12] the other thing you could do is login on a console, find the processes corresponding to X [06:12] phillipsjk, those were defaults, I didn't actually do that.

[06:15] yo yo yo [06:16] enav: have you considered installing windows? === FiReSTaRT is now known as Guest90133 [06:16] * phillipsjk wonders if the new GRUB2 configuration format is Turing-complete. (Why?!) [06:16] faryshta, how are you doing with that? [06:17] nocturnus we are here to help to each other no to destroy each other... im here because i enjoy help people... i you want to fight sorry for that bro but im not interested [06:17] phillipsjk: the grub config is generated using config files and scripts, directly modifying the file is not advised as the config will be lost the next time update-grub is executed [06:17] sebsebseb enav , i have oracle vm virtualbox 3.2.0 beta, and i use windows xp into ubuntu [06:17] phillipsjk, powertool08, I'm going to see if it makes a difference changing the -1 to 10 for "then timeout=-1" [06:17] lgc done! Thanks. [06:18] Radio-b: I ran ifconfig and iwconfig, and I didn't see anything useful about the driver being used.. I have conneceted to other wirelss networks okay though.. [06:18] dhikr: you are running Windows XP, inside Virutalbox, installed inside Ubuntu? [06:18] dhikr i mean your VB is OSE edition? [06:18] dhikr: which one is your host OS? Ubuntu or XP? [06:18] faryshta, glad to hear that. [06:18] enav: actually i'm the one who helped YOU [06:18] flan_suse, -1 should mean no time-out; it waits for your response. [06:18] phillipsjk, powertool08, nope, no difference. I'll work more on this tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys. [06:18] did you read the gdb man page? actually forget that, did you even find out what gdb is? [06:18] nocturnus very good... thanks for your help [06:18] phillipsjk, oh, well, it's still booting into Lucid immediately. [06:18] enav: great, now USE it [06:19] Radio-b: anyway, the it won't even associate with the router :( [06:19] It's alright. I'll figure it out tomorrow. [06:19] enav: i suggested switchign to windows because seeing as you're not willing to put in any effort in fixing your problem, windows is great for that [06:19] I am having trouble actually chatting with people on facebook using empathy or pidgin.. I am using Lucid Linux Ubuntu 10.04 and I am able to log on to facebook and grab the online contacts fine, however they do not get any chat messages I send them. Can anyone help? [06:20] that's why companies use it; because they are willing to pay for the fact that they don't have to debug things [06:20] nocturnus: please stop with the attitude [06:20] nocturnus dont worry mate im happy here on ubuntu [06:20] flan_suse, oops, I miss-read the if statemtn; the time out shou be at least 10 if it is reached. [06:20] So, I've just upgraded to 10.04 and keyboard/mouse are unresponsive in X. Currently at console. Thinkpad T61 laptop. [06:20] Upgrade from 9.04. [06:20] bastid_raZor: windows is not "crap", you're the one being an elitist [06:21] bastid_raZor: some people need to get their software working, and sometimes windows is the only alternative [06:21] and i'm not a windows fanboy [06:21] Once I'm in X, only way out is to hard boot. No keyboard response at al. [06:21] enav: you still didn't find out what gdb is? why are you avoiding the question [06:21] bastid_raZor: also get bent [06:21] nocturnus im asking to wikipedia [06:21] nocturnus: this channel is for supporting ubuntu. you're not supporting anything. you're harrassing people. [06:21] sebsebseb enav, i am sorry for my english poor , just ubuntu is on my computer. i don't want dualboot with xp... and my windows xp is virtual. for virtualbox i don't know if this is puel or ose [06:22] bastid_raZor: you're harassing me [06:22] bastid_raZor: do YOU know what gdb is? [06:22] dhikr: ok [06:22] bastid_raZor: have you used gdb before? [06:22] bastid_raZor: no? then shut up [06:22] dhikr: you installed Virtualbox from the repo? [06:22] bastid_raZor: enav: nocturnus: If there's something you need to settle, please do it out of this channel. [06:22] Appl6: who are you? [06:22] Appl6: will you stop making a big deal out of something where there is no big deal? [06:23] dhikr your english is not bad... btw VirtualBox Puel have USB support, VirtualBox OSE have no USB support [06:23] I am having trouble actually chatting with people on facebook using empathy or pidgin..

[06:23] okay, so i went ahead adn preformed the permission change to my sudoers file and am back now, does anybody remember me? [06:23] dhikr: version from website/webserver has USB support [06:23] dhikr: version from Ubuntu repo does not [06:23] dhikr: What's you rquestion then? [06:23] Appl6 im fine [06:24] dhikr: ... and do you need USB support? [06:24] enav: have you considered filing a bug report like i told you? [06:24] nocturnus i will as soon as i can [06:24] you'll need to produce a gdb log for that [06:25] So, what are the new things in 10.04?

[06:27] i have 5 machines, rest 4 are connecting to each other [06:27] nocturnus, I have found the goalposts mode: firsrt it is reproduce the bug, then it is attach GDB log or find the build where it breaks (binary search), then you are expected to submit a patch [06:27] greezmunkey, yes [06:27] yes, it would appear to be a problem with python [06:28] I'd like to view my desktop on my 50 inch HDTV. I have it plugged in, no errors in messages. what program can I use to test it out. I am running Xorg currently. hello, can someone give me a few tips on how to use my HDMI internal port?

[06:29] greezmunkey, I am able to connect from this machine from other machines [06:29] but not from other machines to this machine [06:29] question downloaded 10.4 live cd tried to install 10.4 got as far as 3of7 clicked forward jumped to 4of8 no partition manger just a blank white space yet i downloaded the server version 10.4 and up came a partition manager why does it work and not the desktop version i didn't install the sever version [06:30] greezmunkey, yes [06:30] display unrecognized char [06:30] gimp: [06:30] Depends: python-support (>=0.90.0) but 0.8.7ubuntu4 is to be installed [06:30] phillipsjk: why are you telling me this? [06:30] as usual a square [06:30] how do I check this [06:30] that is from synaptic [06:30] Tesssa: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [06:30] greezmunkey, I am able to connect from this machine to other machines [06:31] nocturnus, sometimes you can't drop everything to troubleshoot. You need a test machine (real or virtual) for that. [06:31] yes [06:31] oxyrosis: roger... hang on [06:31] can anyone help me? [06:31] Tesssa: and RAM tested ok? [06:31] enav because i think this is puel because juste i have registred and my 3 usb are ok. but no 1 my printer canon [06:31] seemed to be ok [06:31] !ask | pippin418 [06:31] pippin418: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [06:31] Tesssa: swhat seemed to be ok? [06:31] I followed these instructions: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html and now flash isnt working [06:31] phillipsjk: what is this, philosophy night it #ubuntu? make your point already please [06:31] actionParsnip, thanks! [06:31] the live cd desktop version [06:32] i already asked, but whatever. i cant install any new packages because of some corrupt ones i cant remove [06:32] luckymurali: I think I understand you now. the "local" machine is the one you checked sshd_config on? [06:32] pippin418: in all honesty, that sounds like a major fuck-up [06:32] heres a pastebin if my sudo apt-get -f install output [06:32] yes [06:32] http://pastebin.com/xKWKePGD [06:32] Tesssa: sure, but checking the ram is useful. MD5 testing the ISO is crucial to knowing the CD is good. [06:32] dhikr: you sure that verison is also for Ubuntu? that's the PUEL by the way the one that has USB [06:32] oxyrosis: you just upgrade to lucid? [06:32] * phillipsjk reads more backscroll (before "use Windows" suggestion) [06:32] pippin418: what packages can't yo uremove and why not (what error messages?)?

[06:33] no, im still 9.04 i was doing routine upgrades when all this silliness happened, and it was quite a while ago [06:33] pippin418: I can't, in console right now. [06:33] dhikr open virtual box, next click on Help, next click on about, and tell me what you see [06:33] not sure I explain this correctly [06:33] greezmunkey, I went to other machine tpo test vvv [06:33] pippin418: My problem is getting X to work (keyboard/mouse). [06:33] enav ok [06:33] luckymurali: Now were tracking :) [06:33] pippin418: looks like ushare is half installed [06:33] hi [06:33] ah... ummusare and libdnla0 [06:33] cp: cannot stat `install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so': No such file or directory [06:33] nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is not a valid NPAPI plugin [06:33] pippin418: That said: if you're having problems with postinst/postrm scripts, you may be able to run the m manually to sort your issue. [06:33] escuse me im news in this IRC [06:33] :) [06:33] actionParsnip: i used it just yesterday [06:34] oxyrosis: roger... i'm not sure. i'd have to look at the version you're supposed to have in 9.04 [06:34] some portion of text in the windows appear as square indicating that character cannot be displayed. [06:34] i reinstalled 9.4 no p[roblems and upgraded action parsnip [06:34] I surmize some font issue related to ibus install [06:34] i tried to install the restricted extras and something screwed up [06:34] luckymurali: so I can keep it straight, you are irc'ing from what is to be the "target" machine? [06:34] can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong [06:34] pippin418: your pastebin shows it as causing the issue and borking the packages [06:34] jean-pierresainf are you talking about ubuntu? [06:35] jean-pierresainf: You've got an invalid characterset / font combination. [06:35] yes [06:35] and yes [06:35] oxyrosis: what happens if you run.... sudo aptitude safe-upgrade ? [06:35] jean-pierresainf: ... and/or you're using an application with incomplete unicode support. [06:35] enav : http://ups.imagup.com/10/1273517370.png [06:35] actionParsnip: so should i remove ushare? [06:35] lets find out [06:35] but I am not sure how this hapened [06:35] how do I correct or debug this [06:35] hi [06:35] pippin418: Can you repost that pastebin URL? [06:35] just need a starting point [06:35] http://pastebin.com/xKWKePGD [06:36] greezmunkey , to avoid confusion i make irc machine to x and other machine as y [06:36] oxyrosis: it'll probably tell/show an option to fix the depends problems [06:36] trying to do fresh install of 10.04 and i get a black screen shortly after the red dots [06:36] how can i fix that? [06:36] now I am able to connect from X to Y [06:36] but not from Y to X [06:36] flanque: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [06:36] luckymurali: good, and x is what you can't connect to. [06:36] sebsebseb: don't do that again, please, it makes my screen flash un-necessarily [06:36] yes, it's fine [06:36] http://pastebin.com/iMUyRfDS [06:36] dhikr nice desktop .... give me asecond to check something [06:36] greezmunkey , yes [06:36] flanque: did you burn is slowly? [06:37] dear ubuntu users. Can anybody help me understand what the basic differences are between simply sharing a folder in nautilus (whcih requires samba) as opposed to editing the shares accordingly in your smb.conf file via samba? [06:37] pippin418: Try running ushare's pre-removal script manually with 'bash -x ' [06:37] flanque: you could try disabling unnecessary hardware in bios for the duration of the install [06:37] !bootoptions | flanque [06:37] flanque: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [06:37] I reinstalled the ssh server aslo [06:37] should i press yes? [06:37] karsten: i'm not sure where that's located [06:37] luckymurali: to recap, on X run: netstat -anp --tcp --udp | grep LISTEN -do you see 0.0.0.0:20 ? [06:38] ok [06:38] ubottu: well 9.10 works fine, so it's something to do with 10.04 [06:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:38] luckymurali: er, 0.0.0.0:22 [06:38] hey guys, I can't find kcolorpaint in synaptic package manager, karmic, any idea why? [06:38] I am having trouble actually chatting with people on facebook using empathy or pidgin.. I am using Lucid Linux Ubuntu 10.04 and I am able to log on to facebook and grab the online contacts fine, however they do not get any chat messages I send them. Can anyone help? [06:38] pippin418: under /var, I'm trying to remember myself. [06:38] nocturnus: actionParsnip did something similar as well [06:38] Roasted: i don't know. there might now be any difference. if they do the same thing, there's no difference [06:38] Roasted: i think if you use the nautilus way its stored in gconf (not 100% sure) smb.conf allows a lot of extra options and is the same in any linux you use, you can also easily manage shares via ssh which isnt an option if you use nautilus [06:38] now = not [06:38] greezmunkey , yes [06:38] nocturnus: since you broke the rules of the channel [06:39] sebsebseb: unlike you, i have enough courtesy not to polute the channel with things that have already been said [06:39] how many ubuntu channels are there? [06:39] enav : http://ups.imagup.com/10/1273517593.png [06:39] xpike: loads [06:39] !info kolorpaint karmic [06:39] karsten: oh lord, that could be a long day [06:39] luckymurali: paste /etc/ssh/sshd_config from X please [06:39] looks like it updated without a hitch onetinsoldier [06:39] but it is showing 0.0.0.0.0:22 [06:39] sebsebseb: so stop being a sponge and leave actionParsnip out of this [06:39] /var/lib/dpkg/info/ushare-.prerm [06:39] five 0's [06:39] oxyrosis: sweet :-) [06:39] actionParsnip: ? [06:39] luckymurali: right, typo on my end, you're ok [06:39] oxyrosis: so now you have gimp back? [06:39] onetinsoldier: soo, now what [06:39] leme try [06:39] actionParsnip, well, all Im doing is creating shares with a basic level of security (basically not allowing fred to get into bob's things, etc). It's appearing to me as if basic sharing in nautilus is all I need ASSUMING I get up nautilus folder permissions accordingly to block fred from bob's stuff, etc. I knew editing the smb.conf gave you more options, but I just wasnt sure if there was a "better" or more stable/robust option for ba [06:39] sic things like I need it for. [06:39] ok [06:40] dr0id: looks like ubottu is sleeping, she would usually say good stuff if you poke her right [06:40] pippin418: It's probably failing on some command. Run it invoking 'bash -x' to see commands as they're executed and see where it fais. [06:40] gimp: [06:40] Depends: python-support (>=0.90.0) but 0.8.7ubuntu4 is to be installed [06:40] greezmunkey, ok but I dont know why its is not connecting [06:40] hmm, but I need kcolorpaint now [06:40] immense need [06:40] no es bueno [06:40] after i upgraded to lucid, i can't login. i see a wallpaper, the mouse is responding, keyboard is not and no login screen shows up. i can, however ssh to my machine. any tips? [06:40] luckymurali: paste /etc/ssh/sshd_config from X please [06:40] ok [06:40] oxyrosis: no? [06:40] pippin418: If you can sort that out yourself, then fix the problem. Otherwise, just move the script (eg: foo.bak) and replace it with one that just returns 'tru'. [06:40] Roasted: you can also use smbpasswd and allow only certain users acces sto certain folders, its lots of fun [06:40] sebsebseb i have doing this page : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3456911 [06:40] no, same error as before [06:41] dhikr: is that in French? if so I won't understand it [06:41] pippin418: A kludge, but it gets you past the remova problem. Fixing the underlying error is preferred. [06:41] actionParsnip, well my setup is basic. I have 4 users and 5 shares. 1 public share, and 4 individual shares. I just have them in 1 big group and set group ID "Samba" to that public share. My setup is pretty basic I suppose. [06:41] any help pls? [06:41] sebsebseb ok sorry [06:41] installer.. black screen.. 9.10 is fine [06:41] dr0id: its kolourpaint4 in karmic [06:41] dhikr: download Virutalbox from their website, for Ubuntu and not Debian, and it should be ok [06:41] 10.04 [06:41] actionParsnip, like I said I'm just trying to understand if sharing via nautilus is any different. I just upgraded to1 0.04 so I'm redoing my config, and its appearing like going via nautilus might be easier overall. [06:41] greezmunkey,http://pastebin.com/2QrwWKC2 [06:41] actionParsnip: can't find it in package manager :( [06:41] yeah, there is no removal script in that dir [06:42] sebsebseb can you tell me an adress ? [06:42] pippin418: ls ushare* and see what's there. [06:42] pippin418: aptitude's hanging up on on something. [06:42] oxyrosis: i'm not sure what's wrong. perhaps something in your software sources.list file? [06:42] it appears that whenever i log out of gnome, it takes down the wifi interface and i can't figure out how to bring it back up in windowmaker or any different window manager-- grrr [06:42] well, then lets fix that [06:42] !info kolourpaint4 [06:42] help, anyone?

Still checking, brb [06:43] xpike, download from adobe and install it [06:43] dhikr: beta uh what? [06:44] oxyrosis: the file is /etc/apt/sources.list [06:44] xpike: can you use: http://pastebin.com to give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf [06:44] greezmunkey,ok [06:44] http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4025/screenshot1ce.png [06:44] dhikr: get a stable version [06:44] dhikr: not beta [06:44] that should be it right?

[06:47] luckymurali: ok, that's good - that leaves only a couple of possibilities. How many machines do you have there? [06:47] working. . . [06:47] 5 [06:47] oxyrosis: ok, roger [06:47] greezmunkey,5 [06:47] dhikr: plus there's a download for all distrubitons, which is a stupid .run, those are annoying to install [06:48] oxyrosis: see if that makes any difference. see if you can install gimp [06:48] http://pastebin.com/kM6fi1Dx [06:48] luckymurali: have you tried from all of them to X? [06:48] who can tell me if the new 10.04 version is mature enough to use... [06:48] yes [06:48] karsten: you still there? [06:48] from X Im able to connect all [06:48] jkjkdaiv: im having issues just installing the darn thing [06:49] jkjkdaiv: to some extent it depends on the hardware, for example what graphics card someone has [06:49] jkjkdaiv: depends on your requirements, it has a lot of users anyway, I have three machines running fine with it. [06:49] but not to X [06:49] pippin418: Yeah, I just tried to read your pastebin. [06:49] luckymurali: ok [06:49] how do you switch between a collection of wallpapers like the built in space wallpapers? [06:49] works very well for me just done a package update [06:49] oxyrosis: it looks like there's still something about that getdeb repository in your sources.list file [06:49] pippin418: OK. you ran 'bash -x' which means your shell's echoing commands, which sin't particularly useful.. [06:49] well had trouble installing it but oknow [06:50] karsten: yeah [06:50] pippin418: You want to run 'bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/ushare.prerm' [06:50] sebsebseb enav now i do and after i come tell the result [06:50] i removed it now [06:50] very thank [06:50] pippin418: 'set +x' should disable the command echo. [06:50] oxyrosis: ok [06:50] dhikr: enav? [06:50] dhikr very good [06:50] oxyrosis: then, you need to run this again --> sudo aptitude update [06:50] !list [06:50] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [06:50] pippin418: Limited screen real-estate and not page-up key so I can't see much scrollback. [06:50] ok [06:50] luckymurali: it is likely a ssh key thing, let me check on google a bit, see what I can find. === andrea is now known as Guest70428 [06:50] karsten: ooh: + bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/ushare.prerm [06:51] oxyrosis: then see if you can install gimp [06:51] xpot: still waiting for the output dude :) [06:51] karsten: that's what i got back [06:51] greezmunkey, ok [06:51] dhikr USB support is not enabled by default under Ubuntu to avoid security holes [06:51] anyone know what happened to the "shared folders" menu option in version 10.04? [06:51] <_Snark> alternatively, to my earlier question - anyone actually worked around the 10.04 fakeraid bug? and care to point me in the right direction. I've managed to get the installer to complete but grub is still not working (installing at all, potentially due to incorrectly named partitions due to partman?). [06:51] I'd like to view my desktop on my 50 inch HDTV. I have it plugged in, no errors in messages. what program can I use to test it out. I am running Xorg currently. hello, can someone give me a few tips on how to use my HDMI internal port? I haven't been able to find anything on google to do this. got links? suggestions? thanks. [06:51] pippin418: I tshould try to run and either succeed or fail. [06:51] allyourbass: did you install the samba package? [06:51] pippin418: 'echo $?' should give exit status [06:51] same error after all of that [06:52] karsten: status is 0 [06:52] actionParsnip, i just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, my samba share is still active i can see it from other machines on the network [06:52] oxyrosis: i don't know. have you restarted synaptic...? if that's what you're using [06:52] pippin418: Which suggests it worked. Try 'aptitude remove' again. [06:52] pippin418: ... or whatever you were trying. [06:53] enav ok, it's good [06:53] greezmunkey, should I upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 [06:53] onetinsoldier: yes, still no dice [06:53] will that fix this problem?? [06:53] allyourbass: thats good, not sure then. I've always used smb.conf :) [06:53] oxyrosis: try sudo aptitude install gimp [06:53] dhikr it works?

[06:54] enav sorry i'm to call phone [06:54] xpike: can you give the output of the command I gave, you dont need any script file. everything you need is on the repo [06:54] mstkrtfs, no data loss rite??

[06:54] greezmunkey, ok give me 2 mins [06:54] mine was not an upgrade. fresh install. but when i upgraded to 9.04, there was no data loss [06:54] My X problem appears similar to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1442724 [06:54] luckymurali: me too, back in 2 [06:54] karsten: Current status: 0 broken [-2]. [06:55] oxyrosis: answer Y [06:55] karsten: after it finished [06:55] pippin418: dpkg -l ushare [06:55] pippin418: ... should show that package's installed/removed status.

[06:57] oxyrosis what is your problem mate [06:57] enav: did you read gdb manpae yet? [06:57] it looks like it wanted to install newer versions of thos packages that gimp depends on from the repo you had in your sources.list file. but didn't want to install a newer version of gimp that depended on that new gimp libs and other stuff [06:57] greezmunkey, same message 'unable to connect the remote machine connection refiused' [06:57] actionParsnip, did some googling and found this, http://www.giannistsakiris.com/index.php/2008/07/30/missing-your-shared-folders-after-upgrading-ubuntu/ [06:57] oh, thanks onetinsoldier [06:57] karsten: it's still there and wont remove [06:57] thanks for your help!

[07:09] Madpilot: hmm thanks. i had no idea it's been.. since when? [07:09] *it's been out [07:09] pippin418: No, try *installing* it first. I think there's a "reinstall" option. You've got a partially misconfigured package from the looks of it. [07:09] Spyzer i recommend to install virtualbox and make all test you desire... [07:09] Madpilot: I think thats been for a while now. [07:09] enav: really!!!? thats weak dude :( [07:09] shimmr7, two weeks?

You seem to ridicule people asking question you perceive as stupid. Exibit b: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/05/08/%23ubuntu.txt 09:19 Going back to on or about May 4th, is see why you are frustrated: did you ever get Ubuntu installed without the "liveCd"/ [07:12] Reading state information...

[07:12] Flannel: mhm maybe you could answer a question. A laptop hardrive comeing from an acer put into a dell laptop. Why can the live disk not access an unproperly shutdown OS? on another hard drive. ( not even format.) [07:12] justin22885: it can with config [07:12] phillipsjk: kind of interesting reply to them I guess, however they have already been kicked out of the channel [07:12] mstkrtfs: 9.04 [07:13] with config? [07:13] 'k [07:13] Actionparsnip_ my just got the new macbook pro i5 to replace my shitty single core 2.53ghz desktop with 753 of 333mhz ddr ram [07:13] phillipsjk: he's no longer among us. [07:13] Flannel: not event to format* [07:13] phillipsjk: and it seems they haven't come back [07:13] mstkrtfs: will be upgrading to 9.10 within the month, but I've never had a problem playing movies on here before [07:13] JoeT: so not every OS then is it. [07:14] Gnea: did you use the software center or the site(terminal command)? and 9.10 has a lot of bugs ive heard. 10.04 is much better. using it now [07:14] shazbotmcnasty: I have no idea, just parroting what I read in that link. [07:14] Meway: If NTFS is shutdown uncleanly, then it wont mount by default since Ubuntu mounting it might damage the filesystem/data. You can force it if you really want to, but its better to stick it into a windows computer, boot, shutdown cleanly, and then use it. [07:14] JoeT, actionparsnip_: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [07:14] Gnea: I know you like 9.04, reminder you have untill end of October with 9.04 still being supported by security updates. [07:14] actionparsnip_ and I wiped the xp hdd and replaced it with ubuntu loving it on the older machine [07:14] Flannel thankyou mate [07:14] karsten: the stupid thing is, trying to install the restricted software package broke this. i ran ushare yesterday and it worked fine (for sharing files with my xbox 360) [07:14] i think im gunna downgrade to the 32 bit lol [07:14] mstkrtfs: I only use the terminal (apt-get, specifically) since I swapped out gnome with E17 [07:14] karsten gnome-terminal or console? [07:15] pippin418: Mind if I ask how you got into this pickle? Just Uubntu packages or third-party / source installs? [07:15] Fudge: ??? [07:15] xpike: provided you have no other flash plugins that ppa will work flawlessly [07:15] karsten: think i just answered that [07:15] Flannel I need to force it. The laptops power inport was damaged and can no longer be turned on [07:15] greezmunkey, ok [07:15] command not found [07:15] karsten: the stupid thing is, trying to install the restricted software package broke this. i ran ushare yesterday and it worked fine (for sharing files with my xbox 360) [07:15] Flannel: I was not aware of any force options [07:15] ok. try a reinstall. do the update command and then the install command for 9.04 and see tell me if it changes. [07:15] pippin418: Yeah, this is kinda annoying. Add 'exit 0' to the prerm script and try removal again. [07:15] sebsebseb: thanks, I knew it was going to run out at some point :) [07:15] luckymurali: it's a long shot, after the change - restart sshd, ok. [07:16] pippin418: Yeah, I'm a little aggy here. [07:16] I have a ext4 partition , what should be the line to mount it as writable , in fstab ? [07:16] Meway: In the past, there's been a window that pops up when you try to mount it, and it'll give you the command to force it, so try manually mounting it and see what happens [07:16] pippin418: If push comes to shove we can just mark the package removed and deal with it later. [07:16] mstkrtfs: after getting through the previews and clicking on 'play', it didn't crash... and it's playing the movie as it should. [07:16] Gnea: indeed [07:16] karsten: same deal. came up with same errors [07:16] * Gnea kicks back and watches the new Star Trek [07:16] greezmunkey, ok [07:16] Flannel: ok thanks I will do that [07:16] cant i just manually copy the .so file to the mozilla/plugins folder? [07:17] the only thing is I cant find it [07:17] Gnea: with a reinstall? [07:17] * karsten now thinks that "assistive technologies" is a BIOS setting. [07:17] its hidden and I cant CD to it [07:17] mstkrtfs: a reinstall of what? I'm using movie player. [07:17] ok. [07:17] its not displaying on HDTV [07:17] of VLC. movie player is fine. pretty much the same except VLC plays all format :] [07:18] brb gonna check laundry and pick up a snack [07:18] 2mins [07:18] karsten: now update manager is yelling at me to install packages aptitude just removed [07:18] mstkrtfs: I was using the default VLC installation, it was crashing, so I installed the PPA and it did the same thing. smplayer also crashes, so I figured I'd ask here, as 'movie player' has historically been broken. [07:18] * pippin418 wants to shoot his computer. Actually he just got this one as a replacement... so no. [07:19] quite ironic that the opposite is currently true on this system [07:19] how do I access other partitions as writable from nautliys [07:19] nautlus [07:19] pippin418: brute-force method is to edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and set the package to 'deinstall ok config-files' [07:19] I have advanced nautilus permissions showing - in that column, what is "sticky" for? [07:19] anyone know of a program like ventrilo or mangler i can use from cli [07:20] silv3r_m00n, same way you accesss them as writable from any other method of accessing a filesystemobject [07:20] karsten: yeah it said half-configured so i brute forced it [07:20] Gnea: did you check the multiverse? [07:20] silv3r_m00n, ie: nautilus doesn't require some special new way of accessing stuff [07:21] pippin418: Try your update/removal, or 'dpkg -l ushare' to confirm status. [07:21] karsten: now nothing can read the package lists [07:21] pippin418: Oh yeah -- did you back it up first? [07:21] (sorry) [07:21] lol [07:21] There has to be a simple easy way to install flash [07:21] airtonix: I don't want to do gksudo everytime [07:21] I want it writable from current user [07:21] for ubuntu 8.04 [07:21] karsten: no... but i can undo it [07:21] There's already a backup -- status-old [07:21] if i have to use the terminal might as well get gentoo lol [07:22] silv3r_m00n, too bad [07:22] what ? [07:22] xpike, if you don't want to use the terminal I don't suggest you use linux [07:22] this is a destop , and only I shall access it [07:22] but you can get flash without using the terminal [07:22] silv3r_m00n, so you say [07:22] karsten: k restored [07:22] ? [07:23] * airtonix is in silv3r_m00n s internets accessing the tubes [07:23] karsten: back to normal errprs [07:23] errors [07:23] mstkrtfs: multiverse is a default enable on my system [07:23] means? [07:23] shazbotmcnasty is not a good idea stay here to encourage people to not use linux by any reason [07:23] xpike, applications > add/remove - search 'adobe-flashplugin' and install t [07:23] enav, understood [07:23] !fstab | silv3r_m00n [07:23] silv3r_m00n: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [07:24] and enav I'm not in here to encourage people to not use it [07:24] if you looked at my pastebins, let me know your thoughts, k, thanks [07:24] I'm in here to help people [07:24] pippin418: first make a backup. Look through the file to find another deinstalled package. Make ushare' s entry look like that. [07:24] Is there a way to rig up a folder in nautilus so no matter WHAT user writes data to it, whether it be a shared connection through samba or a local user on the actual machine, that each file/folder inside gets the exact same pre-defined permissions? [07:24] and if that way is to get them another operating system, then so-be it [07:24] lol [07:24] none of these beryl themes are transparent like on kde4 [07:24] I have no problems using linux, such as gentoo or redhat but the fact that ubuntu is supposed to be use friendly and I still have to do configurations is kinda weird [07:25] xpike, lol k [07:25] is there a list of ubuntu ! commands to post ex: !fstab that is visible to reg non op users? [07:25] karsten: are you wanting dpkg to think the package isn't even installed anymore? [07:25] karsten: search for "deinstalled" in that file returns nothing [07:25] well do what I said and you'll be fine [07:25] irc commands i mean [07:25] xpike, applications > add/remove - search 'adobe-flashplugin' and install t [07:25] Roasted the only way i know to force nautilus to do whatherver you wnat is using this... sudo nautilus [07:25] ? [07:25] !bot | oly562 [07:25] oly562: Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins [07:25] xpike: no operating sytem is 100% user friendly, plus what is user friendly and what is not, is opinion, and not the same for everyone [07:25] onetinsoldier: Yes.

[07:26] karsten: gotcha [07:26] shazbotmcnasty: Can you just talk on channel? switching windows is a PITA. [07:26] !thanks [07:26] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [07:26] :) [07:26] so how do i make my windows go transparent? [07:26] pippin418: Try what onetinsoldier said. Make sure you've got a backup. [07:27] it works every time [07:27] this is funny even the gui synaptic cant find it " adobe-flashplugin " [07:27] justin22885: which version of Ubuntu? [07:27] karsten, I'm perfectly fine with talking in here. [07:27] shazbotmcnasty: Thanks ;-) [07:27] xpike: try going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP and selecting Ubuntu 8.04+ .deb or the other [07:27] xpike: flashplugin-nonfree [07:28] karsten: k killed the ushare area [07:28] also, where can i find posts for this irc room currently [07:28] im on 10.04 [07:28] I don't run gnome, and don't have 'assistive technologies' installed anymore, so I really have no clue how to disable assistive-tech via cli [07:28] oly562: logs you mean? [07:28] !find flashplugin | xpike [07:28] xpike: Found: flashplugin-installer, flashplugin-nonfree, flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound [07:28] sebsebseb: yes [07:28] its ok man im done, im just gunna go watch youtube videos on my droid lol [07:28] !logs | oly562 [07:28] oly562: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [07:28] pippin418: confirm w/ 'dpkg -l ushare' [07:28] does anyone know of a relatively easy way to setup my ubuntu server as a router? [07:28] pippin418: should show up uninstalled or unknown. [07:28] karsten: yes! no more ushare errors! but now all i have is the libupnp3 package thats giving me errors [07:29] duckwars: 'linux router howto' google that. [07:29] pippin418: Same drill. [07:29] karsten: unknown [07:29] karsten: I've done quite a bit of that, I was hoping someone knew of a specific program or something [07:29] sebsebseb: when does it take its snapshots? 15 min intervals or much later [07:29] karsten: every howto I've tried to go through ends up with an error somewhere === sean is now known as Guest49142 [07:29] Dell xps m1330 w/10.04 no wireless internet [07:29] maybe my synaptic is broken ubottu cuz i didnt find any of that [07:30] maybe god doesnt want me to have flash :( [07:30] karsten: solved. [07:30] karsten: now lets test installing a package [07:30] xpike, ubottu is a bot [07:30] when i search nothing comes up in the results [07:30] w00t [07:30] oly562: you mean when the logs get updated? [07:30] yes [07:30] pippin418: Once you get everything *else* straightened out, try manually removing all associated files (/var/lib/dpkg/info/ushare.list). DON'T remove the directories, just files. make sure none of them are owned by other packages. [07:30] oly562: every hour [07:30] 12:01am [07:30] oh ok [07:30] How do I change the default .wmv application to VLC? [07:30] thanks [07:30] Yo yo yo [07:30] xpike: yeah, God has it in for Adobe :) [07:30] pippin418: Another trick is to reinstall, then remove, the package. [07:30] If you get stuck again, yo uknow what to do now ;-) [07:31] !default | haavaros [07:31] haavaros: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting.

[07:31] anyone here using squirrel mail ? i need help with it as i can't find anything on this error . 554 554 : Relay access denied (state 14). [07:31] hi people i just installed xubuntu 10.04 and i have a problem with the thunar file manager, he doesnt let me browse a usb hdd? [07:31] is there a CLI version of ubuntu? lol [07:31] pippin418: NP. [07:31] justin22885: you can make panels transparant easilly. also have you seen the terminal? with the default theme and such, that's transparant [07:31] yes xpike [07:31] xpike: i think so.... ubuntu-minimal [07:31] Xpike: ubuntu-minimal or ubuntu server [07:31] xpike, in synaptic go to the top and hit "SETTINGS > repositories" [07:32] karsten: ushare.list is non-existent again [07:32] justin22885: they were actsaully going to have some sort of transparant feature in 10.04, but that's now been delayed untill 10.10 [07:32] im gunna use that instead [07:32] karsten: ushare.list is non-existent btw (not again) [07:32] sebsebseb: is that pac time? or GMT [07:32] xpike, I thought you said you didn't want to use cli [07:32] xpike, you're not very determined lol [07:32] xpike: yes. Remove (or don't install) the X packages. You can do a minimal install. [07:32] oly562: BST at the moment [07:32] * phillipsjk installs the adobe .so (library) file in ~/.mozilla/plugins makes for easy deletion as well :P [07:32] onetinsoldier, ActionParsnip: ubuntu-minimal is an only-barely-usable command-line system. ubuntu-standard is probably better to recommend. [07:32] xpike: ... or install Debian instead ;-) [07:32] oly562: British Summer Time [07:32] I dont mind CLI when im on a CLI system [07:32] Justin22885: look at the move window plugin in ccsm. It may allow you to specify stuff like that [07:32] (also commandline, much more usable.) [07:32] xpike: type ctrl+alt+f2 for the cli version [07:32] if im on a GUI system i expect GUI and ease [07:32] he doesnt even let me browse the system hdd, but in mc it works fine [07:32] xpike [07:32] rww: ahh, roger. thanks [07:32] pippin418: Hrm. OK. [07:32] if u want to use ubuntu in cli [07:32] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and I can not get any wireless internet, is it a quick fix? [07:32] looool [07:32] just hit ctrl alt 1 through 7 [07:32] sebsebseb: you have any thoughts on my issue? [07:32] Rww: its still a cli only OS by default ;) [07:32] just wondering [07:33] errr [07:33] Guest49142, generally no, it's not a quick fix [07:33] pippin418: I'm suspecting that the package got partially removed but something borked up. [07:33] karsten: installed ushare again, no problem [07:33] i mean ctrl alt f1 through whatever [07:33] it will take u to the shell side which is what u prolly want [07:33] Guest49142, you probably just need to install your wireless adapter driver [07:33] xpike: use 'ubuntu-standard' instead says user rww up above [07:33] Guest49142: run: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product loine relating to the adapter [07:33] can anyone help? [07:33] xpike: GUIs are always limiting. Only the common cases can be covered. [07:33] pippin418: Try removing it, see if it goes away cleanly. [07:33] karsten: now i just have to reconfigure ushares config files and ill be all set [07:33] xpike : ctrl alt f1 through fwhatever will take u to shells my friend [07:33] ;) [07:34] Ximal: or use guake :) [07:34] quake yes [07:34] ISSUE - i would like to use my laptop desktop on my HDTV.

[07:45] Flanque: you need to run: sudo update-grub ,after editting [07:46] greezmunkey, ok [07:46] hi am using Lubuntu. How do i use samba server capablilties of nautilus in Lubuntu [07:46] mstkrtfs: thank you, it looks like this all may be over my head.... I will give it a try though. If you happen to have any ideas as to why when I stream video from samba/sshfs server it disconnects after 5 minutes, I would not have to resort to making a router. I believe the problem is my router, so I'm trying to bypass it all together [07:46] luckymurali: results? [07:46] i see [07:46] can ubuntu 10.04 server rdp connections? [07:46] Dont worry about it guys, thanks for your help [07:46] Hello [07:46] greezmunkey, Im checking [07:46] Sorry if I was trolling [07:46] give me 2 mins [07:46] itilious: yes. [07:46] !ltsp | itilious [07:46] itilious: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [07:47] itilious: remote desktop, right? [07:47] yep [07:47] in nautilus in gnome one can do right-click and share, how do i that in lxde also?? [07:47] i do have samba server installed [07:47] http://pastebin.com/3n7KTibB <- could someone please point out the obvious error? :) [07:47] I get avahi .local notification even after I put "hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal mdns4". [07:47] Spyzer, you can't pcmanfm doesnt support gfvs like nautilus does. you need to use shares-admin [07:47] can someone help me with a conky config? [07:47] karsten, yes, i find it more productive in my case rather than VNC [07:47] greezmunkey, ;( same [07:47] I get avahi .local notification even after I put "hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal mdns4" in /etc/nsswitch.conf. [07:47] dbus-launch nautilus --no-desktop --browser & === ogen is now known as tripelb [07:47] Spyzer: I don't think pcfmanfm can do that. I'd use /etc/samba/smb.conf to configure shares [07:48] itilious: You can enable desktop sharing under GNOME or KDE, or run an RDP server that multiple users can connect to. [07:48] this is what i use to browse samba shares from nautilus [07:48] !info shares-admin | Spyzer [07:48] luckymurali: Man, I don't know then - can you remember doing anything custom to it? [07:48] Spyzer: Package shares-admin does not exist in lucid [07:48] itilious: I usually use it the other way -- accessing a 'Doze box in cases it's necessary. [07:48] karsten, is running the RDP server not something a noob to linux should attempt? [07:48] greezmunkey, never i did it [07:48] Spyzer: you can browse the shares using pcmanfm. I don't think it can set them up though [07:48] u please tell me to upgrade from 8.0 to 10.04 [07:49] itilious: Depends on the n00b ;-) [07:49] I think IT may solve my problem [07:49] ActionParsnip, no pcmanfm dos not understand smb:// [07:49] !upgrade | luckymurali [07:49] luckymurali: I don't want to be responsible for that :) [07:49] luckymurali: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:49] then?? [07:49] can't i use nautilus itself in such a manner that it can help me in sharing [07:49] Airtonix: I see [07:49] duckwars: no problem. so the problem is when you play a video, your router crashes? [07:49] Spyzer, obviously [07:49] itilious: My own preference is to have an X server on the box I want to access the Linux system *from*, and tunnel clients over SSH. [07:50] karsten, i'll look into it, thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction though :) [07:50] Spyzer, but not pcmanfm. unless you're using smbfs [07:50] it Maxcc OS X has an X server through the developers kit, and the Cygwin or XMing server's work pretty well on Linux. [07:50] erm, Windows, not linux. [07:50] plz,Is there any software can scan Bar-code or Qcode on ubuntu? my laptop has a camera.. [07:50] hmm [07:50] but i don't know how to do it, when i open nautilus sharing option is not coming [07:50] I got it to work!!! [07:50] in lxde [07:50] itilious: ^^ (sorry, laggy connection). [07:50] greezmunkey, any how thanks [07:50] Spyzer: install the samba package first [07:50] flash works!!!!! via remote desktop [07:50] lmao [07:50] that is present [07:50] xpike, fail [07:50] xpike: Heh. [07:51] now if only KDE4 menus werent so stupid.. i like gnomes... KDEs all the icons on everything are just way too big, and annoying, their icons are stupid.. cmon, trying to make all desktop icons be widgets.. so much about KDE i hate ever since version 4 [07:51] My ubuntu 9.10 froze again. And I am not using firefox at all. Grrr. [07:51] mstkrtfs: When I mount a samba or sshfs drive, then try to play a video off of it, after anywhere from 5-30 minutes my connection to the server is severed, and I can't even ssh in for about 5 minutes, then I can ssh in, or mount the samba drive or anything [07:51] OK, here's my bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/555169 [07:51] Spyzer: you will need to use smb.conf to share folders. Pcmanfm is very lean and so doesn't have all the bells and whistles which nautilus has [07:51] actionparsnip: I tried your link, and when activating the driver I got the error: SystemError: installArchives() failed [07:51] tripelb: 9.10 sucks. 10.04 is where its at [07:51] My ubuntu 9.10 froze again. And I am not using firefox at all. Grrr. 1.9G free space. Any clues. [07:51] (keyboard/mouse freeze) [07:51] just scan the Bar code or Qcode as Gphone does, any suggestions?

[07:52] Guest49142: use a wired connection and get updated. The system will also offer you the driver you need [07:52] woodorw: barcode scanners aren't too expensive and are just serial devices. If you're ooking for an optical scanner, I'm not sure. Google shoul dknow. [07:53] duckwars: can you send me a private chat? [07:53] which I can compare to any other distro lol [07:53] ActionParsnip: I have samba and both nautilus with me, only the sharing option is not appearing in the nautilus, is there anyway i can utilize samba with nautilus?? [07:53] i already tried to update but missed the chance to download the driver. [07:53] besides the packaging system [07:53] ok, i see, thanks [07:53] yeah mstkrtfs - kind of like the "reinstall windows" helpdesk folks.

[08:19] Sometimes "Different" is not "better". [08:20] i have installed already Ubuntu onto my system and now i downloaded later version. can i upgrade the system with this? [08:20] There's a reason, for example, why only one major automaker actually produces a car with a wankel rotary engine: [08:20] Spasticteapot: no idea but like I said.

[08:24] thanks, but then why does /proc/cpuinfo say that i have 1 core (which is true), but system monitor reports different loads for 2 cpus? [08:24] bandwidthcrunch: that's very odd. It is showing a list of countries here. [08:24] ActionParsnip, command please [08:24] bandwidthcrunch: could you try starting the wizard again? As far as I know locale does not affect it. [08:25] Except for the language in which the wizard is displayed, of course. [08:25] Moes: you'll need: dpkg -l | grep nvidia ,one will be the driver. Then you can run: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [08:25] can you use VNC if you're not currently logged into the ubuntu target machine? [08:25] niekie am using karmic and it for some reason just shows china and it is not showing list of countries, Tried restarting the applet , wizard etc but no luck [08:26] can anyone help me with this conky config? ill send you a screenshot to show what im dealing with [08:26] #!/bin/bash [08:26] # [08:26] # [08:26] cp libflashplayer.so $HOME/.mozilla/plugin [08:26] echo "it did it" [08:26] xpike: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I can't seem to find any known bugs relating to what you are experiencing too, I'm afraid :( [08:28] not xrander, but selecting the mode from a list.

It is also reported in the forum but i had no answer. -- if an user (say "second user") logs out and an other user ("first") was logged in before, i don't get the first user's screensaver to unlock, but a blank and irresponsive screen.

Only ctrl+artgr+rsist+k let me "solve" the situation, but it obviously kills my screen. -- using Lucid (fresh ins [08:42] tall) on Vaio VGN-NR... laptop, NVIDIA propertary, i386 (on a 64bit hardware) [08:42] karsten: doesnt seem real(#NFC) [08:42] mstkrtfs: NFC == No F* Clue.

[08:43] Hello, I'm using windows xp on my laptop and I want to do a dual boot-please notice that I'm a beginner. Can you please tell me how do i do that? [08:43] Illuminatus: ?? [08:43] Masterztuky: have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [08:44] karsten: like the "ipconfig /displaydns" in windows [08:44] Sacho: Ohhh no, thanks :) [08:44] Illuminatus: Not familiar with it. What does that give you? [08:45] the dns store in your cache [08:45] Illuminatus: Your DNS servers are configured in /etc/resolv.conf. Route is given by 'route -n' [08:45] Sacho: And if let's say my windows gets viruses trojans...keyloggers...when boot to ubuntu...I will be affected by them on ubuntu topo? [08:45] Sacho: too* [08:45] I know but I mean I suppose ubuntu store the request dns in a cache [08:46] Illuminatus: That's not visibile. If you're not running a nameserver (eg: bind) or possibly nscd (name service caching daemon) you've got no cache. [08:46] can anyone link me to a site that shows how to configure webcam I/O for ubuntu? [08:46] Illuminatus: and I don't think nscd caches bind. [08:46] Masterztuky: that really depends on the virus, but usually, no [08:47] karsten: no no I don't have bind installed [08:47] maybe route -C -n [08:47] Sacho: Thanks so much :) [08:47] xpike: tried cheese ? [08:47] Illuminatus: Then you've got no cache. Why do you care? [08:48] maybe he means the arp cache [08:48] no no arp is just local [08:48] cheese? I like cheese on my hamburgers but I cant eat cheese raw [08:49] wait ...im guessing thats a webcam app [08:49] lol [08:49] ... [08:49] if you enter in www.google.com you make a request to your dns, the next time you don't need to do that request because you have it in your cache for x minutes/hours [08:49] I wanna see that cache [08:49] Hello [08:49] xpike: it is also used for webcam io>:o [08:50] i want to recurse through all subdirectories of a project and copy the files within each folder (except .svn) to another location with the identical structure. (im trying to copy all the files from a strange, messed up svn project to a freshly checked out version that needs to be updated with newer stuff). e.g. all files in /broken/app/controllers/ must be copied to /new/app/controllers as files within subdirectories, but not the subdirectories themselves...

[09:28] freetime: I don't think that file exists, i think it's caused by some other issue [09:29] freetime: also why are you using cvs? [09:29] then how combine Qt3 object with C++ code? [09:29] I don't like answering "how do I do X" with "don't use X" but in the case of cvs, it's really true :-p [09:29] in the action events, we can code, no?

My window decorator is missing on ubuntu 10.04... when i try compiz --replace i get the following error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/G1h0BYXS [09:53] I just buy a netbook Dell 1011. I have install netbook remix edition but the battery empty very quick. The command cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode [09:53] retuns 0 that it means laptop-mode off.

It works until the reboot then again the command cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode gives 0. The questions is. Is that a bug? Do i have to bug report it to launchpad?

[10:25] or hard drive. :) [10:25] is it? [10:25] why? [10:26] to save the files? [10:26] hmm [10:26] i see [10:26] PHP_Arun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:26] but what about the packages and cofigurations? [10:26] enter is not the new comma [10:26] err.... sorry..... [10:26] red2kic, Plymouth is only graphical right? Nothing different would happen if no plymouth was installed aside from what graphics are displayed at that moment? [10:27] PHP_Arun, packages will be uselss anyway. conf files are stored in your home folder... you should back up your essential confs in /etc/ anyway [10:27] PHP_Arun: It's not really evil. Some people prefer to keep their system 'clean' and when you upgrade, you don't get a pristine lucid. Packages in karmic will be rolled over to lucid. [10:27] hmm... i see... thanks for that [10:27] and one more question [10:27] PHP_Arun, dont let me stop you from using the evil dist-upgrade [10:27] PHP_Arun, infact i recommend you do so in order to feel the pain [10:28] PHP_Arun: In any case, you should back up important stuffs no matter what.

However i have seen that it takes more time than karmic to boot up .. could someone help.. it takes close to 46 seconds to get to the login screen and from there another 7 seconds... [10:31] mouse: it is silly to spend an hour or two of fiddling around with graphical boot screen when you're only going to see it for 10 sec or so everytime you boot up. [10:31] mouse: My humble opinion shouldn't stop you from doing it though. ;) [10:32] airtonix : how do i set a custom boot splash screen in ubuntu 9.04? like one of the Mac OsX?

Also, there are deborphan [10:46] PHP)_ARUN: no problem arun.. just pass it on [10:46] Pirate_Hunter: try autoremove after the purge [10:47] in the 10.04 it is supposed to show the update available icon in the notification area right?

[10:48] in the 10.04 it is supposed to show the update available icon in the notification area right? [10:49] red2kic, it doesn't work, when i choose "Specify partition manually" and a list of partitions come, i can't find my home partition, instead it is showed as unallocated [10:49] erUSUL, if xorg is installed it wont autremove that but at least that's the least of my problems don't want libraries/packages lying about that arent needed, isn't there a more specific approach?

[10:51] would someone know the solution to my problem [10:51] ya vivek40 [10:51] MikeChelen: Old topic backing to 2007? [10:52] vivek40, your bootup is slow, is that your problem, if yes i am also having the same problem. [10:52] vivek40: its weird to do that, I want the url to be localhost/phpmyadmin [10:52] PHP_ARUN: did you find it useful.. [10:52] slackjob: http://vcsco.com/?p=24 ? ^_^ [10:52] some blank screen stays for some time [10:52] obscurant1st:at least that is what is said.. however it is best to open the update manager osometime [10:52] obscurant1st: Yes. There must be package updates.. [10:52] red2kic, actually, i didn't make any changes to ubuntu. [10:52] Pirate_Hunter: dunno; see /var/log/apt/term.log ? remove packages ilisted there by hand ? [10:52] B4ckBOne: in the menu there is a options thingy where you can set it. [10:52] dr0id:you can do that too. wait .. i will connect with you through the im [10:52] bushbaby, well then the notifier icon never comes up. [10:53] B4ckBOne: This is easy answer that can be done by using search engines first. [10:53] red2kic, suddenly it says that it can't mount [10:53] PHP_ARUN: did you find it useful.. [10:53] err, a lil bit [10:53] obscurant1st: But there are updates? [10:53] but its not the exact splash screen i am talking about [10:53] cuz, wt i mean is the loading screen [10:53] Is TorrentFlux one of the better web based clients for Ubuntu, or are there some other alternatives with nicer interfaces? [10:53] before the login screen [10:53] after upgrading to 10.4 I get a lot of errors on my Torrentflux... I tried to re-install it from scratch but still get a lot of errors that look like this: http://pastie.org/953482 [10:53] waan: +1 for Transmission [10:53] erUSUL, thanks will do [10:54] obscurant1st: So the icon isn't coming up but there are updated available you mean? [10:54] Thanks guys, going hunting seeing what I can come up with [10:54] bushbaby, yeah, when i open the update manager update will be there, even now updates were there [10:54] red2kic: I tried to get transmission running but it doesn't seem to go anywhere after configuring and restarting the daemon [10:54] bushbaby, yes the icon is not coming! [10:54] but updates are there [10:55] m-g: red2kic: im connected via ssh so preferably by changing a config file. And i searched the internet for it and did not find anything. Please just tell me the file i have to change. Thank you :-) [10:55] weird aptitude doesn't understand command autoremove... hmmm...? [10:55] obscurant1st: Have you checked the settings or preferences of update-manager? There may be a way to enable or disable it? [10:55] waan: You need to configure /etc/transmission and probably /etc/default/trans* [10:56] B4ckBOne: Change it in ~/.bashrc [10:56] bushbaby, ok i havent changed anything over there, anyway let me check it. [10:56] @pirate_Hunter: Can u autoremove in aptitude??? I thought it was only with apt-get! [10:57] bushbaby, but when i upgraded to lucid from karmic, for the first few times that icon came [10:57] B4ckBOne: you mean, how many entries you can access with the cursor-up key? the people in #bash probably know. [10:57] thx red2kic. Do you by any chance remember the syntax? [10:57] red2kic: Yeah I did that, checked rdp whitelist and port numbers etc. I installed transmission-cli daemon and common. When using the transmission-remote it fails to connect. [10:57] waan: what is the package-name for the Transmission web-client if you're only running a server? [10:57] 没中文 [10:58] zord, not sure thought both use the same if not similar commands, im still fairly new to aptitude but do find it strange that it has autoclean but not autoremove... [10:58] obscurant1st: You haven't changed anything since then?. i.e. it stopped for no reason??

[10:58] bushbaby, i havent changed anything since then, atleast for something like this, cos i liked the way it looked! [10:58] ytyt [10:58] 谢谢 [10:59] Pirate_Hunter: yeah I haven't used much of aptitude. [10:59] waan: It probably failed because you never authorized a username in first place. ^_^ [10:59] B4ckBOne: You're welcome. [11:00] red2kic: I assumed the username/pass aren't just used in the address but through the interface? [11:00] waan: I should configure transmission again. I ended up not using it much because I find it easier to use it on my computer and then later, rsync to my HTPC machine when I'm done making pretty filenames and folder.jpg. [11:00] obscurant1st: That's odd.. I take it you've done updates if it's appeared before? [11:00] what would happen if started downloading an app using apt-get then removed the var lock and download another app using apt-get simultaneously? [11:01] my sound isn't working when I play flash videos (ehow, youtube). It works fine other than this issue... [11:01] Pirate_Hunter: Hello again. aptitude generally does autoremove automatically. [11:01] bushbaby, i dont know. :( [11:01] my sound isn't working when I play flash videos (ehow, youtube). It works fine other than this issue... I'm running 10.04 64it [11:01] Pirate_Hunter: Of course, it will prompt you before removing stuff, but it will offer to. [11:01] waan: There also are ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json [11:02] AnxiousNut: Theoretically that should corrupt some things, but depending on what u r installing it might give ur system the red signal of death. [11:02] hello everyone [11:02] Pirate _Hunter: Yeah the prompt is always there. [11:02] obscurant1st: So update-manager has alerted you of updates before? the icon has appeared in the systray? === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [11:02] PHP_ARUN: http://linux.dipin.info/2009/07/customise-or-remaster-ubuntu-904-jaunty.html [11:03] Appl6, hi how you doing? Hmmm true say noticed it I should pay attention maybe in a bit will make tea and apparently the purge function removed xorg and few other bits and bobs [11:03] but ,I don't know how to use gtalk Group chat [11:03] thanks animesh1 [11:03] bushbaby, only a few times, like 2 or 3 times, i think. and that too appeard just after i upgraded to lucid. [11:03] and yes it was on systray [11:03] zord, seems gonna try it one day :) probably before formatting :) [11:04] Yeah, but i'll try it in a Virtual Machine in VMWare! [11:04] Pirate_Hunter: Ouch. Hard way to learn aptitude eh? =\ [11:04] obscurant1st: Did you upgrade to the beta/RC or just the main release? [11:04] Pirate_Hunter: You could "cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep Install:" -- Make notes. [11:04] bushbaby, main release! [11:04] quit [11:04] Pirate_Hunter: You might want to try the interface it gives you if you just run "sudo aptitude". It will make it clearer what it's doing. [11:04] I never heard the end of the argument, are updates evil? [11:05] mouse: No. [11:05] mouse: Changes are always good for greater purposes. Old people often hate changes. :( [11:05] Appl6, it is still easier than apt-get in the sense of being more logical and neat do enjoy how search is in alphabetical order and not random and I have no need for the policy command to figure out if it is installed [11:05] PHP_ARUN: even that dint help ??? [11:05] obscurant1st: Prehaps some of the package updates interfered with the update-manager icon appearing? or there was an update to update manager that removed the feature? [11:06] mouse: But it does not mean changes are necessarily good too. As for upgrading or clean installation, just make your backup first. [11:06] mouse:not exactly evil but sometimes they screw up the OS. [11:06] Pirate_Hunter: You can use "aptitude show PACKAGE"; the second line is "State: " and it will say installed if it is. [11:06] animesh1 : i am already using the link u gave [11:06] hehehe [11:06] :) [11:06] so its helping me a lo [11:06] thanks [11:06] PHP_Arun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:06] :) [11:07] red2kic: I've tried to reinstall it but now there are no configuration files [11:07] red2kic, will do that soon instead of concentrating on three machines decided to just work on one at a time something a person can't multi-task [11:07] red2kic, And a backup would just be your personal files and /etc? [11:07] PHP_ARUN: arun what do you wanna do btw [11:07] am a student [11:07] waan: Try running it at least once. It should be generated. [11:07] hehe [11:07] and a serverside web dev [11:07] and a digital data forensic evidence analyst [11:07] :) [11:07] hello [11:08] oh grt.. [11:08] mouse: /home for Personal Files + Personal Configuration Files [11:08] now why do you wanna remaster an os ... [11:08] mouse: /etc for System-Wide Settings. [11:08] Appl6, but it aint needed unless I want more information on the package, aptitude search should tell me if it is installed or not since it indicates with the i, quite hard to believe I used to find the console version of it hard to use... [11:08] how I do, for join #hacker? [11:08] geraudk20001: /j #hacker [11:09] geraudk: it's invite only. you can't join unless you're invited [11:09] red2kic: No cigar, its using /var/lib/transmission/info/settings [11:09] CyberLazi: ok [11:10] I'm looking for someone with a Polish [11:10] Is there anyone here from the Polish?

[12:09] 0er & red2kic: i do have 64bit proc. but then someone says to me that it is not a wise option to install a 64bit OS with only 3GB's of RAM [12:09] erUSUL: I think I can use or set up 1rst Boot Device=USB in BIOS and do that, like a NetInstall or is the pushing it?

However, 32bit can't exceed more than 3GB RAM and to fix that because of physical address limitations, you would have to install PAE kernel or server kernel to fix it. [12:11] erUSUL: Thank you.

[12:14] ripe [12:14] anybody know how to pair bluetooth devices with a command?

Change the username and original path which leads to the said line above. [12:14] remoteCTRL: what wireless chip is built in your notebook?

[12:16] brah-: and then bot2 lagging behind the others [12:17] waan: Right. Change it to your username (and /home/waan/.config).... you get the idea. Debian/Ubuntu like to have daemon to have their own users. [12:17] red2kic: this package is very poorly setup [12:17] why doesn't amarok have a menu option for visualizations? [12:17] hi, does anyone know where i can get the source for lsof? [12:17] red2kic: you can't change the config folder to /etc/ either because you don't want torrent files going there. Have to use /home/username as you said [12:17] waan: Daemons are not originally designed to serve single user. Think of any other daemons.

[12:18] freshmeat requires some sort of password :( [12:18] i dont know [12:18] i cek again now [12:19] Dede_one: synaptic must give you some more information. You must enable the advanced view or install it per terminal, so you get the errors displayed [12:19] waan: There are cupsd, ssh, etc. System-wide config files resides in /etc. :) It's just following the protocols. Yeah, but now you know and it'll be much easier from now on. ;) [12:20] waan: Also, Transmissions have some amazing benchmarks compared to other torrents. :3 [12:20] and when i install ubunto-desktop how I can start graphic enviorment? [12:20] zege please dont lough but i just realized that this thingie has TWO buttons to turn wifi in, i activated the other one too now it works... *shrug* [12:20] ne7work: It'll be started automatically when you reboot the computer.

I don't remember and I think I have original ~/.config/ [12:21] when started with startx just log off in the desktopsession, when started with sudo start gdm : sudo stop gdm [12:22] waan: You should install transmission-qt (and in the terminal, link it to ~/.config/transmission-daemon). It's a little hack but that works wonders for me. [12:22] !gdm ne7work [12:22] !gdm [12:22] waan: That way you don't have to set up everything in the console. When you're done, just remove it afterward. [12:22] ne7work: startx [12:22] just a note though, http://people.freebsd.org/~abe/ still requires a password.

[12:31] dengar: I did see something on that, [12:31] how can I stop gnome panels from autoreswn after manually killing... anyone? [12:32] om26er: delete it? [12:32] zege, can't [12:32] om26er: mopm [12:32] dengar: I cannot recall what the fix is, but it is fixed now, or can be with a bit of coding. [12:32] om26er: mom [12:33] om26er, Do you have root on your box? === root_ is now known as Red-XIII [12:33] om26er: I don't think you can kill them, but I'm not 100% confident on that answer since gnome-panel is part of Gnome. Meanwhile, you could hide them as an alternative solution. [12:33] Stereocaulon, sudo su will make it root wouldn't it? [12:34] om26er, i think any two will do the trick; that is su or sudo [12:34] om26er: yes [12:34] om26er, i think sudo is just for a command and then it goes back to your normal account. [12:34] om26er, That's right. As a quick fix, you could chmod the application gnome-panels so that it cannot start anymore [12:35] om26er: try pkill gnome-panel [12:35] zege, won't work, will immediately respawn after that [12:35] om26er, is it a process? i believe kill -9 pid will work fine as well. [12:35] Vigo: thanks! [12:36] !rootshell | om26er [12:36] om26er: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [12:36] dengar: You are welcome, it is on Launchpad and other places. [12:36] red2kic: Do you know how to place an encrypted password in the config? [12:36] Vigo: Link? [12:36] Stereocaulon, om26er: Wouldn't it be easier to rename /usr/bin/gnome-panel to /usr/bin/gnome-panel-bak ? [12:36] Or any idea what to look for? [12:37] red2kic, That would also work, yes. [12:37] Because simply looking for 'Device Not Ready' keeps referring to usage of NDISWRAPPER and that sort of stuff [12:37] red2kic, trying your idea now [12:37] Don't need that really, cause the card works! [12:37] Unless it stops and then you can't get it on anymore === root_ is now known as Red-XIII [12:38] om26er, After you have renamed it, you still need a kill, but at least it won't respawn that way [12:38] any program that can add effects when i use a webcam? [12:38] i found few for windows but not for linux [12:38] waan: Not really. I'll tell you what I did in my time. Install transmission-qt, link ~/.config/transmission-qt to the daemon config. Configure your configuration using GUI then when you're done, just purge transmission-qt or leave it around for future configuration. It won't take lot of space. [12:38] red2kic, worked [12:38] mplayer could to the trick [12:38] with some trickery [12:39] om26er: Good. :D [12:39] om26er: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405721 [12:39] hey, my windows are shown twice.. like a shadow ... and its not a visual effect nor a monitor problem. someone a suggestion ?

[12:44] alpha: and 128.84.158.119 in your browser does the same? [12:44] waan: You're looking for two folder -- transmission-daemon and transmission-qt. Something like that. [12:44] jdv: thats weird.. try 'ubuntu' and just hit return for the password [12:44] shaullx: ah, ok, i didn't know u want that [12:44] Tried that Dr_Willis, doesnt work [12:44] jdv "root" ?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:46] Yea thats irrelevant. :/ [12:46] ?? [12:46] red2kic: http://pastebin.com/sZEjienS [12:46] zege anyway to do that in linux?

[12:47] alpha: sounds like some sort of router/network issue to me [12:47] red2kic: yeah, no x server [12:47] jdv: whoops, [12:47] waan: Look for .transmission-qt -- Something like that? [12:47] shaullx: i do not know any other app that allows u to apply effects to you webcam in live mode. [12:47] waan: Or .transmission? [12:47] jdv: i would wonder if the cd was not burnt properly. or the iso file was currupted. [12:48] waan: The files should look eerily same in both directories.

If something works with an older kernel and not with the new one. For experimentation... etc. etc. [13:41] simar, the old kernels don't autodelete so you can fall back to one if a new kernel doesn't work well on your system for example.. [13:41] turns out grub2 was with 9.04/.10... but I didn't upgrade to those [13:41] simar: see usr13 [13:41] simar: they hang around due to possible issues. Ifyou upgrade the kernel and the installer deletes the old ones then what do you do if the new kernel gives you issues. The system would be unusable. Keeping the old kernels allows you to boot to the old kernel, remove the new kernel and log a bug then continue to use the sysyem [13:41] Friends, in Terminal, is there a way to make a Python compiled file without running the .py?

If you have a 500G HD and the kernel is occupying 50M, well, I'd say that is not "a lot". [13:44] simar: when you upgrade kernel, try it a few days depending on PC use, if its find then the old can be removed [13:44] usr13: Thanks! It's all there, and it didn't check it. [13:44] simar: If you have a 500M HD, well, that is a different story.

[13:54] subspider: or just create symlink of your content directory in /var/www with ln -s [13:54] so i do not need to install every time [13:54] subspider: I suggest just using symlinks [13:55] ffsdftrr: "hat shit shows no userlist and crash when Button is pressed anyone?" no I'm not high, just keeping the rules of the channel [13:55] subspider: see /etc/apache2 configuration directory.

[13:56] thnks usr13 [13:56] subspider: you could start with the "default" file there, and based on that create your own configuration file. After that you have to create a link from "sites-available" to "sites-enabled" - the command "a2ensite" can do that for you [13:56] usr13, i allready have the folder there [13:56] michaelxq: if you use: http://pastebin.com to give te output I can help, clearly the output has confused you [13:56] i would unadvise symlinks though, because of permision problems possible [13:56] What is the command to set a shell script to be executed at logon of a particular account? (like .bashrc file in VC, Shell) [13:56] subspider: ln -s /home/subspider/public_html /var/www/MySite (If you want it to be a different name). [13:57] I know it can be done with GUI, but wish to make a script [13:57] ActionParsnip, thanks, i'll try and let you know [13:57] subspider: You can move the folder where ever you want and then symlink it to /var/www/ [13:57] usr13: that'll need sudo ;) [13:57] Hi all [13:57] gdm problem? anyone! has ufter recent updates?

[14:00] After update to 10.04 i have big black cursor on kde apps. If i run "systemsettings" command and set (already selected) orange one, then my mouse cursor becomes orange. [14:00] i would like ssh service be on whenever i logined to gnome console or not [14:00] But when i logoff/logon; becomes black again [14:01] anyone know of a tool that will show video codecs used by a file?

[14:02] @usr13 and it will automatic recreate? [14:02] chalet16: Or mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [14:02] diddy: that is governed by the current locale. what are you using ?

[14:05] chalet16: /etc/X11/xorg.conf will be used if it is there. If it is not there, the OpenSource driver will be loaded and your hardware will be automatically be dectected and configured as needed. [14:05] Cube``: try this: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER [14:05] zhxk: if you're not going to read the answers, why bother posting the question? [14:05] zhxk: read the answers given to you [14:05] ActionParsnip, which command should i run?? [14:05] zhxk: a service should start at boot time. thats why its a service [14:06] michaelxq: lsusb [14:06] ActionParsnip, w8 [14:06] michaelxq: it needs running in a terminal found under Applications menu -> accessories [14:06] ActionParsnip: ok thanks, its still running, but it already gave me this: chown: cannot access `./cube/.gvfs': Permission denied [14:06] what is the switch for grep to search for regexps? [14:06] UBUNTU [14:06] Cube``: gvfs is special. Thats 'ok' [14:06] ffsdftrr, -e i believe [14:06] ffsdftrr: grep -e will enable extended regex syntax [14:06] Cube``: thats fine, its a special file, you'll get a few more. Just makes sure your user is the owner of all its own data [14:07] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks [14:07] Dr_Willis: alright ofc rouse, thanks [14:07] kk [14:07] Dr_Willis: whats gvfs anyways?

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [14:07] Dr_Willis: ok. ActionParsnip: is it any bad that i set all the permission in my user folder to the same? [14:07] Pici: ffsdftrr is grep -E [14:08] Cube``: in theory they should all be owned by your user. and set to your users group. [14:08] Cube``: no, tis is normal. the home folder is your data and should be owned by you [14:08] Cube``: if you run some aps as root. it can goof things up [14:08] erUSUL: ah, you're right. I was thinking too much about egrep (which provides grep -E) [14:09] ok. [14:09] i run everything as root [14:09] have anyone empty user list in Lucid GDM or it's crashing restarting X? [14:10] Cube``: then stop it. [14:10] haha just kidding. thanks for your help guys, it seems to be working now. [14:10] !noroot | Cube`` [14:10] Cube``: We do not support having a root password set.

[14:11] ActionParsnip, this is what you meant? [14:12] sudo passwd should do the trick, but once you realise the point of changed your mind [14:12] you pasted in the wrong area [14:12] stevecam: its not advised and not supported [14:12] when upgrading ubuntu server from jaunty to lucid, do i have to do the intermediate step by karmic? [14:12] and pretty mych not needed. :0 [14:12] if you want to become root, sudo su [14:12] zamba: yes you will need karmic first [14:12] zamba: yes [14:12] I was wondering when the authority will apply this designed testing Ubuntu homepage http://wubuntu.co.cc/ in the main domain? Lucid is released 2 weeks > passed [14:12] that's stupid, most *commercially successful* distros have root pasword [14:12] ? [14:13] xfact: try #ubuntu-website [14:13] ffsdftrr, its not stupid [14:13] rhel, sled & their free ripoffs [14:13] its actually pretty logical [14:13] ffsdftrr: its a security thing [14:13] rww, Thanks [14:13] ok [14:13] the root password is randomised i believe [14:13] it's a reasonable choice to limit the number of access points into a system [14:13] ffsdftrr: get over it. Its the ubuntu way and not up for debate. The forums and other sites argue the point in 100000+s of pages of details and flamewars [14:13] ffsdftrr: It is not stupid. It is the way Ubuntu is designed. It works quite well actually. [14:13] stevecam: it is not. [14:13] stevecam: nope. it's just not there. [14:13] michaelxq: you paste in the box, not the address bar [14:13] even better [14:13] account is disabled. [14:14] root password is empty, so it cannot login [14:14] ffsdftrr: sudo su [14:14] i dont recall it being disabled, just not there [14:14] ffsdftrr: Never mind. [14:14] hi guys, i have a backup-script in /etc/rc0.d but isnt executed anymore in 10.04 ??? any hints? [14:14] ffsdftrr: no, the account is disabled so any password you try will fail [14:14] ondrejk: sudo -i is easier [14:14] is it possible to install other OpenOffice.org programs than the ones included in Ubuntu? [14:14] psi_, a service it depends on probably changed order [14:15] bastid_raZor:i see there is realdy a buildin ssh service already? [14:15] lucid_lynx: do they exist? o_O [14:15] i thought it was a stupid idea to begin with, but its pretty good [14:15] where a password hash would be, there is "!". "!" is not a hash of any password => can't log in [14:15] zhxk: to ssh out but you will need openssh-server to be able to accept ssh connections [14:15] prevents attacks from rootkits [14:15] Radio-b: what do you mean? [14:15] ActionParsnip:the buildin ssh service cant start at boot ? [14:15] michaelxq: or run this command: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lsusb | pastebinit [14:15] michaelxq: what is output? [14:16] ffsdftrr: yes, there are a few other ones too [14:16] zhxk: openssh-server not installed by default and once it is, it will start at boot [14:16] bastid_raZor:i see i can ssh in without open-ssh [14:16] lucid_lynx: Such as? [14:16] Is there somewhere you can download sound drivers for ubuntu? the sound works but sounds quite terrible and hacks.. [14:16] Pici: the one I am looking for is the one I think is called "OpenOffice.org Math" [14:16] bastid_raZor:but the connect break, when i logout from gnome [14:16] !sshd zhxk [14:17] !sshd | zhxk [14:17] zhxk: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH.

[14:17] lucid_lynx: That package is in the repositories. You should be able to install it using software center, or you could just do: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-math on a terminal. [14:17] lucid_lynx: its the spreadsheet app [14:17] i dont want to run it on reboot, so only rc0.d an the links is S01backup [14:17] ActionParsnip: okay, thanks, but why isn't it in the main menu then? [14:17] michaelxq: yes the app will allow you to pastebin from command line, much easier [14:18] ActionParsnip: it's a formula editor actually [14:18] lucid_lynx: not sure, run alacarte and see what's going on [14:18] zhxk: look into using 'screen' .. if you do not fully shutdown just logout, it should stay running in the background .. man screen for more detailed information [14:18] psi_: try running the script directly and see what it says [14:18] Radio-b: it works great [14:18] ffsdftrr: true, i mixed it with calc [14:18] hi [14:18] Radio-b: is there a better way to run a shutdown script? [14:18] psi_: and it doesn't spit any messages out on shutdown? [14:19] somewhere to find sound drivers for ubuntu? the sound works great in win xp :( [14:19] ActionParsnip: well, I found it - it was just deactivated by default, so I just had to active it and there it was in the main menu :) [14:19] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/5p83We14 [14:19] lucid_lynx: top job :) [14:19] Radio-b: some warnings but its okay, its a selfwritten php script to exec rsync [14:19] how do i stop the 10.04 boot at grub? [14:19] ActionParsnip, sorry for the delay...i'm new at this!!

[14:20] Or is there a "rc.local.shutdown" ? [14:20] stevecam: inkscape, but it's not an analog sadly [14:20] michaelxq: ok so it's ID is 05ca:183b and is a R5U870 lets see what guides we can find [14:20] chalet16: What monitor do you have? [14:20] psi_: my best guess is that php is getting killed somewhere downstream [14:20] it's awful [14:21] psi_: or any of the processes invokved [14:21] i seem to have trouble getting inkscape to work properly [14:21] ActionParsnip, that just showed a list of stuff from my hw [14:21] @usr13 It's a laptop monitor [14:21] didn't install any driver, sound still sounds very "echo" [14:21] chalet16: It appears that the monitor is not being detected as it should. Are you using a KVM switch? or... something...?

[14:23] @usr13 [14:23] @usr13 ok thanks I will go to try [14:23] i dont speak chinese im just copying and pasting it from babelfish [14:23] simar: you can use computer janitor to clean up old kernel images, among other things [14:23] hi all [14:24] maco thats a good idea.. [14:24] I'm trying to install Plone 4, but the installation keeps failing, is say it failed to locate the zlib module. How do I fix that?

[14:24] ActionParsnip, i mean before..

[14:27] maco: just an interesting tidbit for you [14:27] usr13:thanks it works [14:28] maco: i saw in wiki it tells its not supported in hardy [14:28] ActionParsnip, sorry to interfere, but you typed "gibber" instead of "gwibber" back there. [14:28] does lsmod shows all the kernel stuff needed for my system to work? [14:28] !info gwibber [14:28] manohar: you can install gwibber, but it would have to be built from source [14:28] manohar: thats why the PPA ActionParsnip mentioned exists [14:28] maybe it out of question [14:28] ffsdftrr: you might be looking for dmesg [14:28] Radio-b: no you dont. theres a PPA [14:28] Omar87: I know, so did the user asking [14:28] bah.. i totally wrecked my mysql-installation, now it won't work no matter what i do :/ [14:28] but anyone know about vpon vp100?

[14:28] Hey what is difference between linux kernel image and linux kernel headers??? [14:29] ActionParsnip, I see. [14:29] usr13: no I need to know all kernel modules needed for my system and drop everything else [14:29] Seriously. What the hell retarded crap is ubuntu doing in pam.d/* to screw up the shell so that users can't set a filemax over 1024? [14:29] maco: for hardy? [14:29] simar: the headers are codes to help make kernel modules using dkms and suck, the kernel is the kernel itself [14:29] simar: headers are optional package wich enables you to compile drivers [14:29] because it's f'ing infuriating [14:29] Radio-b: yes [14:29] Radio-b, is there any link how to install from source [14:29] ffsdftrr: lsmod will show you what is being loaded now. [14:29] linenoise: submit a bug [14:29] manohar: nevermind what I said [14:29] ActionParsnip: what? seriously? No, I refuse to believe that it can't be done. [14:29] usr13: so what is not loaded can be removed from kernel safely? [14:30] hi there [14:30] manohar: listen to what ActionParsnip said. go to https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-team/+archive/ppa [14:30] how to check current init level? [14:30] ActionParsnip: That means that no user process can have more than 1024 open files + connections [14:30] ActionParsnip: Which means there are NO UBUNTU DISTROS RUNNING ORACLE [14:30] ActionParsnip: which is BS [14:30] linenoise: well its free to try [14:30] can i have linux running, without headers ??? [14:30] maco, ok [14:30] zhxk: if you havent run "telinit" yet, its 2 [14:30] simar: yes [14:30] simar: i believe its a dep of the kernl to have its eaders around the place [14:30] ffsdftrr: I'm not sure what you are getting at? Are you wanting to build a leaner kernel? [14:31] Wow. [14:31] usr13: exactly [14:31] how can i manage services to be run on diffrent init level? [14:31] !runlevels | zhxk [14:31] zhxk: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [14:31] ActionParnship: i am at ur link [14:32] ActionParnship: which one to download [14:32] oh my god!!! there's new kernel today, are they mad?? [14:32] can I not change permissions of something if it is on a seperate partition? if i can .. what are the filesystemtypes that wont' work w/ it? [14:32] and I'm done with ubuntu. Best of luck.

[14:33] ffsdftrr: Ubuntu is fast-track. [14:33] ok fine .. [14:33] !sysv | zhxk [14:33] Simultaneous question: any chance the recent keyring update fixes unlocking the keyring with autologin? [14:33] ActionParnship: anyways thanx [14:33] !seen bryceh [14:33] I have no seen command [14:34] zhxk: read up on the 'sysv' init system.. but ubuntu dosent really use the rc# stuff exctpe for rc2 [14:34] FoolsRun, no - that's a "feature" not a bug [14:34] zhxk: Please READ the responses from ubottu. We do not use the sysv init system in Ubuntu. [14:34] Dr_Willis: ubuntu doesnt use sysv anyway... [14:34] Pici:whats the alternative? [14:34] zhxk: upstart. [14:34] ZykoticK9: the fact that there's a big "cannot contact keyring process" (or something like that) error when trying to use the keyring with autologin is a feature? [14:34] zhxk: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [14:34] Pici:how to do with upstart? [14:35] @usr13 I have look at log and it tell that KMS not enabled [14:35] maco: sell theres still some serices launched by upstart from the rc.# dirs. but thats getting fewer with each release. :) which is good. [14:35] ZykoticK9: because autologin is pretty much broken as it stands [14:35] FoolsRun, oh sorry - that's not the usual autologin/keyring thing - sorry not sure about your issue. [14:35] ZykoticK9: ah. No worries. [14:35] can anyone tell tha difference between _generic_ and _virtual_ kernel? [14:35] @usr13 look like it's currently use failsafe driver ? [14:35] I guess I can try it to find out :) [14:36] Howdy [14:36] hello [14:36] chalet16: gksudo displayconfig-gtk [14:36] i recently upgraded to lucid. i am trying to install the latest nvidia modules, but it tells me can'f find kernel source tree. install kernel source file. i can't remember the command to do that. does anyone know the command? [14:36] inoh: why are You not using the nvidia drivers from the repositories? [14:36] FoolsRun, FYI even with Autologin, you'll (by default) have to type a password if you have encrypted wifi [14:36] @usr13 nothing happen [14:37] inoh: system -> admin -> hardware drivers [14:37] afternoon! [14:37] inoh: try to install linux-headers metapackage [14:37] boot window :) [14:37] FoolsRun: you can set a empty/blanlk password for your keyring so wifi auto-connects [14:37] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [14:37] halo [14:37] usr13: that hasnt done anything in years [14:37] Dr_Willis: the drivers from nvidia website work better [14:37] usr13: like, since 2007 [14:37] hei [14:37] coy [14:37] boy [14:38] inoh: good luck then.. its very possible they may not work at all [14:38] su [14:38] @usr13 nothing happen again [14:38] inoh: they are the exact same drivers... [14:38] @usr13 I'm currenly in failsafe mode [14:38] chalet16: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg.conf [14:38] usr13: that doesnt do anything [14:38] hi everybody... can anybody tell me how i can disable the sound the Gnome Login Screen makes when booting? It just makes a litte "Da-Dum". Even if I have my sound muted when logged in it still plays that noise... Is there any way to turn it off? [14:38] Dr_Willis: nvidia works pretty closely with linux on this stuff [14:38] jrib: i was thinking that also.. but wasent sure of the version #'s [14:38] Package `xorg.conf' is not installed and no info is available. [14:38] 195.36.24 is the latest [14:38] inoh: simply because something is more difficult or complicated to do does not make it better [14:38] ZykoticK9: I read a thing about editing /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin to match /etc/pam.d/gdm to automagically unlock the keyring. That's what I'm attempting. [14:38] repository has 195.36.18 [14:39] chalet16: i think usr13 is getting confused. dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg *used to* let you change drivers.... back in 2007 [14:39] jrib: not being difficult, had to do all this stuff with karmic as well [14:39] chalet16: sudo X -configure [14:39] inoh: not if you use Hardware Drivers [14:40] chalet16: sudo X -configure [Does that work?] [14:40] evident: sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-sounds [14:40] @usr13 I have done that and get error (EE) [drm] KMS not enabled [14:40] and I have to use failsafe mode now [14:40] chalet16, if you want an xorg.conf file you might want to see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file [14:40] Whomever is having nvidia issues: if it's an issue of resolution, there's an nvidia reconfigure command that fixed it for me... I don't remember what ti was. Something like nvidia-reconfigure [14:41] Question: How do I extract a .7z file? [14:41] FoolsRun: sudo nvidia-xconfig maybe? [14:41] !7z | ori [14:41] ori: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [14:41] evident, look in notifications to disable those annoying sounds [14:41] ActionParsnip: that was it [14:41] ori: sudo apt-get install p7* [14:41] actionparsnip: i just enter that into the terminal? [14:41] ori: you can now use: 7z x file.7z or use fileroller [14:41] Is ubuntu more GUI/user friendly less server friendly or is ubuntu great still for datacenter server? [14:42] ori: yes, you need to install the 7zip stff [14:42] Guys in Lucid if I want to install KDE what do I install kde-minimal? [14:42] ActionParsnip, or whomever is having the problem: my issue was with resolution on a media-center PC. Running nvidia-xconfig made all resolutinos available. [14:42] Kane_Hart: ubuntu works great as a server (see ubuntu server edition) [14:42] chalet16: May need to remove the Nvidia driver. [14:42] hello all [14:42] actionparsnip: ok did it. now what? [14:42] i was being told module erro: 0 at startup, driver not found, had to restart xserver. came across the forums stating that you dont need xserver in lucid and so it was removed [14:42] bastid_raZor: morning [14:42] ori: sudo apt-get install p7zip* is better [14:42] @usr13 I have already remove it [14:42] geekphreak: morning [14:42] I will going try something myself and will comeback soon [14:42] ori: then you can open the archive in fileroller using nautilus or the command: 7z x file.7z [14:43] but resolution is still off a little [14:43] FoolsRun: thats because it makes an xorg.conf the tried and tested way of configuring video and other stuff [14:43] i fixed this problem in karmic by installing latest modules from nvidia [14:44] ActionParsnip, thank you very much... [14:44] actionparsnip: so im gonna do this: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full [14:44] inoh: what you are saying doesn't make much sense. You removed xserver? [14:45] ActionParsnip: also either my videocard or TV is terrible at reading or transmitting EDID information. It only recognizes the TV by name every third boot or so. [14:45] actionparsnip: ok? [14:45] ori: sudo apt-get install p7zip* [14:45] ActionParsnip, it works but i can't edit module to make some changes === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [14:46] im trying to copy my home folder. when i view it in nautilus, it says its 10gb big. when i analyze it (with disc usage analyzer) it says its 10gb as well. but when i try to copy it, it's still preparing the operation and is at 40gb already. :(:(:( [14:46] !dvd [14:46] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [14:46] actionparsnip: thanx [14:46] how can I make grub2 menu always showing, without shiftpressing maddness [14:46] how can I set the default version of Python to be used by Ubuntu ? currently it is using 3.x and I want it to use 2.5, so apps referring to "#!/usr/bin/env python" actually work. [14:46] how to make /etc/init.d/ssh start run at boot? [14:47] zhxk: hello [14:47] does anyone know on ubu 10.04 how can i disable cupsd, anyone? thks [14:47] Samus_Aran: 3.x is not the default version of python in any ubuntu version [14:47] zhxk: can you open terminal please [14:47] geekphreak>:yes [14:47] zhxk: first, check which runlevel you are in (type in "runlevel") then add a symlink for it in /etc/initN.d/ where the "N" is the runlevel number [14:47] TuGa: you too please , both have same option [14:47] Anyone know how to copy inline html images in evolution [14:48] geekphreak:n 2 [14:48] I want to make a screencast tutorial hiding as much of my normal panels and icons as possible. Whats the best way to do this? [14:48] zhxk: sudo apt-get install rcconf., then run sudo rcconf to enable/dsiable service [14:48] Samus_Aran: Did you remove Python or Py3 ? [14:48] ok opened [14:48] jrib: okay, 2.6.1 apparently, but there are only modules for 2.4 and 2.5 [14:48] Also, I will want to edit that screencast to clip out any mistakes I make, whats the best program for that [14:48] Cube``: you have hidden config folders which store settings for apps. You can reduce this with bleachbit, close as many apps as you can [14:48] Samus_Aran: modules for what? [14:48] respire: set the panels to autohide [14:48] Vigo: sorry, I assume 3.x, but it's 2.6.x that isn't working [14:48] *assumed [14:49] cant i just kill them and tell them to stay dead [14:49] respire: "shoot" in a virtual machine then use avidemux to edit [14:49] not enough diskspace but good idea [14:49] jrib: I'm on an older Ubuntu version (8.10 if I recall) and some recentish updates have broken a number of Python apps. in this case python-wxversion only has 2.4 and 2.5 modules, but not one for 2.6 [14:49] Thanks everyone it's work now. [14:49] Samus_Aran: Have you ever used the Residential Config in Synaptic? [14:50] I reverted thing that I have done in http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [14:50] respire: try uninstalling some old kernels and/or apps you no longer use [14:50] !8.10 | Samus_Aran [14:50] Samus_Aran: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) was the ninth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30th, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [14:50] zhxk: rcconf is a handy tool, and I was going to recommend it. :) it sets up the symlinks for you, you only need to know which runlevel you are in [14:50] respire, is something mounted in ~/.gvfs by chance? [14:50] zhxk: but it doesn't hurt to look in /etc/rc3.d/ or whatever to familiarise yourself with how it all works [14:50] Samus_Aran: seems strange (from memory) that default python is 2.6 there, but in any case 8.10 is eol [14:50] can i use desktop effects in ubuntu 10.04 without nvidia ?? [14:51] ive got lots of custom panels and launchers that do fun things, can I save their config somehow then just nuke it back to ubuntu default [14:51] like some files in the .config dir [14:51] ActionParsnip: no, but i want these folders to be copied! thats why im doing it in the first place. but why arent they counted when nautilus analyzes the folders, and why the heck are they 30gb? :P thanks for your answers [14:51] geekphreak:i see rcconf, its good, how to conf it on diffrent runlevel? [14:51] Cube``, is something mounted in ~/.gvfs by chance? (sorry respire) [14:51] jrib: I'll be updating to 10.04 soon, via clean install. I am aware that it's old, I'm just wondering how one goes about setting the default python version ? or should I just us mv on the files in /usr/bin ? [14:51] Cube``: because they are hidden, if you press ctrl+ they will be visible [14:52] ActionParsnip: ctrl+? === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [14:52] ZykoticK9: how to check? [14:52] Cube``, cd ~/.gvfs [14:52] Cube``: you most likely have a tonne of temporary interet files and java cache guff as well as some flash anim files cluttering up the place [14:52] Cube``: ctrl + h [14:52] geekphreak:how to conf services to run before login to gnome? [14:52] Samus_Aran: you shouldn't change the default python version. Many scripts that are used by the operating system need the default python version to be what it is and stuff will likely break. If you need to have some particular script run with 2.5, just use env python2.5 (python2.5 should be in the repositories) [14:53] ZykoticK9, gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/me/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=me) [14:53] zhxk: 1 sec [14:53] respire: I am too much of a noob to know exactly how, but it seams plausible maybe gnome.conf [14:53] zhxk: ssh will automatically start if you install it from the repositories, there is no configuration that you need to do beyond that. [14:53] Cube``: bleachbit can help clean the files down, watch the browser options as there is an option to delete passwords etc (if you store them) and avoid the options wich say they will take a long time [14:53] respire, whatever is mounted there will also be included in your copy of ~ [14:53] #blender_es [14:53] ZykoticK9, i didnt grok [14:53] geekphreak, Samus_Aran: Please stop suggesting to use sysv-style init scripts. We do not use the sysv init system anymore, we are using upstart. [14:53] #blender-es [14:53] Pici:ssh wont starup untill i login to desktop [14:54] jrib: well, the point is kind of that some apps broke as the result of 2.6 being installed or set to default. I've run into this problem twice now, where modules don't exist for 2.6, so I wanted to fix future occurances as well [14:54] ZykoticK9: yeah, the samba share im trying to copy everything to is mounted there lol. but it gives me an error trying to copy that directory so i press skip everytime [14:54] hi people! I use Java under linux (k/ubuntu), but I have a couple of DLL libraries that I need to load in order to run a certain project. Is it somehow possible? on windows, I could just include those DLLs on the Path environment variable.. [14:54] Pici, except that doesn't seem true cause when i wanted to stop a service starting i had to remove the link from the SysV directory [14:54] jrib: Good call, could'nt Aran also use or dpkg and have two Python versions, one for the work now and the other for the stable kernel? === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [14:54] so maybe upstart isn't a script but it seems to work a lot like sysv [14:55] Pici: I am not familiar with upstart, have a link handy that explains it ? [14:55] zhxk: If you are using a wireless connection then networking will not start until you have logged into gnome. I assure you that ssh will always start automatically if you install it from the repos. [14:55] ActionParsnip: and see, i do understand the whole concept of hidden folders aka .folders . but still, why is nautilus not counting them!? [14:55] Vigo: sure, python should point to whatever ubuntu expects default to be. Then there are additional binaries like python2.5, python2.4, and python2.6 that can hang around === [daemon]_ is now known as [daemon] [14:55] !upstart [14:55] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [14:55] Samus_Aran: are you positive that python2.6 was not always the default. I really doubt that would change in an update [14:56] jrib: That rather makes sense to me and seems like a good resolution. [14:56] Pici:ok, it should be connection problems [14:56] Radio-b: thanks [14:56] Im am using empathy in lucid. In chat-rooms empathy is always auto-scrolling. How can I disable this behaviour? [14:56] Cube``: not sure dude [14:57] hi! [14:57] anyone know how to copy and paste inline html images in evolution [14:57] Hi, I just upgraded to Lucid and I lost all USB devices (including keyboard and mouse). I have sshd to the machine and lsusb comes back null. How do I fix it? [14:57] i installed gwibber in hardy just now from PPA instructions... but has problems starting GUI... No menu is available and when starting from terminal it gives few errors [14:57] how do i reset my seahorse [14:57] ActionParsnip: ok. [14:57] hi [14:57] jrib: all I know is that an app I've been using for years no longer loads (because it needs 2.4 or 2.5, not 2.6) and that my own app I was creating with PyGame also wouldn't work on 2.6, as there are again modules only for 2.4 and 2.5 [14:58] can I not change permissions of something if it is on a seperate partition? if i can .. what are the filesystemtypes that wont' work w/ it? [14:58] can anyone tell me what the command is in the xorg.conf to get compiz to show the top bar of individual windows [14:58] goldins: try: sudo rmmod usbhid; sleep 5; sudo modprobe usbhid [14:58] and not hide them behind the task menu [14:59] krazykrivda: not on external harddrive usually [14:59] krazykrivda: actually you can, but they are overridden with mount options [15:00] goldins: not sure why that happened, but try loading the kernel modules: for Mod in usbcore hid usbhid; do sudo modprobe "$Mod"; done [15:00] Samus_Aran: see if you can replicate this behavior on a supported version. You mentioned wx but it certainly works with 2.6 [15:00] how do i reset my seahorse password [15:00] ZykoticK9, I am not an ubuntu or gnome guru nor do i have the time to learn i have a LOT of work to do and most of it isn't IT so can you give me the short course? [15:01] ZykoticK9, ls: cannot access /home/me/.gvfs: Permission denied ----- WTF [15:01] ffsdftrr: i've symlinked /home/me/Downloads to a partition on the harddrive so al files are linked in either dualboot, but when i try to change permissions etc.. nothing works unless i move to a none symlinked partition (the system type is Fat32) [15:01] jrib: as I said, I'm on 8.10, and some update within the last month or so caused it to switch to a default of 2.6 Python, which has broke many apps. I'll go poke at it manually until I upgrade to 10.04, thanks. [15:01] respire: that is not a normal file [15:01] respire, I'm so sorry - i kept getting you wand Cube`` confused -- but i was always *trying and failing* to message Cube`` -- so sorry to confuse [15:01] anyone here up on IBM blades ? === _6i_AFK is now known as _6i [15:02] ZykoticK9, ok no worries [15:02] <_6i> hi everyone [15:02] hi there [15:02] Samus_Aran, what IS it? [15:02] blueking yea what about it? [15:02] Samus_Aran: as I said, I really doubt an update would change the default python version. I can't obtain too much info about intrepid however as I don't have an intrepid install and the online tools drop unsupported versions [15:02] rsk can you help me with a js22 blade ? [15:02] respire: I *think* it's something Gnome uses [15:02] blueking how? [15:02] Could someone with a fresh install of Lucid check something for me? I think I might have found part of my keyring problem [15:02] I have various questions [15:02] hey [15:02] gt [15:02] gt [15:02] jacopo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:02] gt [15:03] Pici:i checked its network problem, and fixed it now, thank you [15:03] zhxk: good :) [15:03] FoolsRun: sure, wassup [15:03] how do i reset my seahorse password everytime i bootup i have to insert manualy the wireless wep key, and a new key for the seahorse [15:03] Samus_Aran: if you have a broken system already and don't really care if it breaks more I guess you can mess with /usr/share/python/debian_defaults ... (caveat emptor) [15:03] respire: I would guess Gnome Virtual FileSystem, but I don't use Gnome and that's just a guess based on the acronym. check what type of file it is (ls -l) [15:03] FoolsRun: Did you md5 check it? [15:03] ActionParsnip: System/Preferences/Startup Applications/Certificate and Key Storage What is the full command in a non-upgraded Lucid? [15:04] cardozini: If you leave the password feild blank it should boot without asking for it again. [15:04] jrib: I'll probably just edit the broken app to use 2.5, seems safest after you've scared me about changing the system default [15:04] FoolsRun: gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=pkcs11 [15:04] though I don't see what apps would *need* from 2.6 over 2.5 [15:04] i can't install amazon mp3 downloader on lucid. i found the selection in the ubuntu store to be lacking in songs that i'd like to buy. [15:04] I have ubuntu 9.10, usb flash drive, winxp .iso image. Goal is instal winxp form usb. So, how to do it? How to create winxp-usb? [15:05] Samus_Aran: I would just install 10.04 and be done with it [15:05] How would you make a key in authorized_keys be able to use only a specified shell, /usr/bin/nologin? [15:05] chalet16: did you get it yet? [15:05] ActionParsnip: damn. I thought I'd found the problem "Error communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon" problem. [15:05] <_6i> hi, i'm experiencing problems with grub (lucid, not upgraded from karmic): [15:05] jamshot: Look at Pendrive [15:05] usr13: yes [15:05] bushbaby, the problem is that it doesn't save my wep password.... although it askes me everytime for it... [15:05] usr13: thanks a lot [15:05] jrib: not that simple, unfortunately. this system is an NFS server to other computers in the house, and it's also an Internet server, and it's also a multiseat desktop. so downtime ruins a lot of people's days. :p [15:05] it's so bothering... [15:05] chalet16: Very good. [15:05] , ok, thx [15:06] FoolsRun: is it running? [15:06] krazykrivda: fat32 pemissions are set on mount, with umask and dmask options === om26er_ is now known as om26er [15:06] jrib: I'll probably do the update this weekend at 2:AM or something so nobody's using any of it [15:06] jamsboot: http://www.pendriveapps.com/ [15:06] Im am using empathy in lucid. In chat-rooms empathy is always auto-scrolling, even when I manually scroll up. How can I disable this behaviour? [15:06] cardozini: I had the same problem and the WEP key requests went away at the same time.. [15:06] ActionParsnip: with autologin this seems to be a common issue. The daemon is running but it can't be communicated with. Searching "Error communicating with gnome-keyring-daemon" returns a ton of people with the same issue. [15:07] can i get gnome to snap my desktop icons to a grid? [15:07] krazykrivda, having you home folder on FAT32 probably isn't the best idea [15:07] FoolsRun: i use autologin, all good here but i always clean install [15:07] <_6i> after shutdown and sometimes after reboot, too, instead of the grub boot menu, it throws me right to the console [15:07] well, goodnight allveryone. thanks for the help jrib et all [15:07] ffsdftrr: i'm not sure what you mean (i'm fairly new) but i've set up in fstab to automount [15:07] ActionParsnip: disabling autologin fixes the issue, but that's not ideal for, say, my wife or my mediacenter PC. [15:07] krazykrivda: fat32 in general is bad, its not robust [15:07] ZykoticK9: not whole home folder.. just videos/music/docs/downloads [15:08] krazykrivda: I forgot to say, FAT32 by default doesn't support Unix style permissions. if you want this, then use UMSDOS or whatever it's called, which overlays Unix-style permissions onto a FAT filesystem [15:08] krazykrivda, ahhh [15:08] ActionParsnip: does your keyring auto unlock, or do you have to unlock it at login? [15:08] ZykoticK9: ahhh.. = bad? or you understand? [15:08] hello [15:08] krazykrivda, just meant "i understand now" [15:08] krazykrivda: also notable is that symlinks are incapable of affecting permissions in any way [15:08] how do you move the window close/min/max icons from the top left to the top right of all windows? [15:09] !controls | sysRPL [15:09] Samus_Aran: when trying to run a script or instal l things.. such as .py or .bin.. i can't do anythign if it resides in the symlink folder.. if i move it to desktop it works as expected [15:09] sysRPL: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [15:09] krazykrivda: they merely point to a file or directory, which may or may not actually exist. apps will attempt to load the directory referred to by the symlink [15:09] sysRPL, you'll have to open gconf-editor and change settings. [15:09] erUSUL: thanks for the hint on netconsole, it was easier than i thought. Anyway I reinstalled, disabled the sata controller, and it seems to work fine so far [15:09] FoolsRun: i use no password, so yes it unlocks ;) [15:09] sysRPL, it seems you already got an answer. :P [15:09] Hey [15:09] krazykrivda: you'll need to be clearer than "I can't do anything" [15:09] HoldenC: ok glad it helped [15:10] sysRPL: You can also just pick a different theme. [15:10] HoldenC: somewhat at least .... [15:10] krazykrivda: provide the specific error message(s) [15:10] ActionParsnip: aha. That's half the problem. The "Error communication..." thing still looms, though. [15:10] I have a problem with my /home folder. [15:10] ty all [15:10] FoolsRun: i'm not experiencing the same [15:10] hey guys, my FF cant render lucida grande, i just upgraded to karmic from jaunty, any idea y? [15:10] ubuntu: What is the problem with your /home folder? [15:10] !details | ubuntu [15:10] ubuntu: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:10] After my pute died while upgrading [15:11] it sams locked [15:11] I wish there was a "reset everything as though you fresh-installed" command. [15:11] seems ? [15:11] erUSUL: i'm keeping an eye on the output of netconsole on this machine, if it freezes again let's hope i can catch it [15:11] FoolsRun, Ha ha!! That would be awesome [15:11] Samus_Aran: for example.. i attempted to run a .py script to change the location of controls... right click and run as executable checkbox is NULLED out in folders that are running on fat32 symlinked directory.. but when i moved it to my desktop.. it worked as I read in instructions [15:11] FoolsRun: There is [15:11] well, I can't copy it when i am using my liveCD [15:11] ActionParsnip: ? [15:12] Vigo, What is it? [15:12] Vigo: does it involve fresh installing, or are you serious? [15:12] ubuntu: try not to fragment your discussion. It will be hard for any of us to make any sense if it is scattered out. === jexmex is now known as jexmex_ [15:12] How can I add a google search bar to top panel in gnome ? [15:12] !recovery [15:12] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [15:12] krazykrivda: that is because, as I said, FAT filesystems do not have Unix permissions. you can force all files on a FAT32 partition to be executable by changing the mount-time options, e.g. adding "exec,umask=000" to the options [15:12] usr13: ok [15:13] ActionParsnip: just fyi, omg, i fixed it, it was trying to copy .gvfs as well :S [15:13] krazykrivda: or you can try mounting as UMSDOS, which adds a virtual layer of Unix permissions over a FAT filesystem. I'm not sure if that works with FAT32, or just FAT12/16 [15:13] There is also the tool at boot , is like a restore. [15:13] slm [15:13] Vigo: and that'll just reset everything that Ubuntu handles, leaving additional software I've installed alone? [15:13] Samus_Aran: is there a different partitiontype u'd recommend to use betweein mutual directories for win and linux? ntfs? [15:13] hello there. I'm trying to set up DVD playback on ubuntu 10.04, VLC will play it but Totem searches for codecs, can't install them and then crashes with overflow warning. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated [15:14] SO to summerize. I updated to lucid and my computer don't wana boot. So I thought I would backup my files and reinstal. Problem is my /home folder is locked when i am using a livecd, and so I can't reach my files. [15:14] !dvd | michal_ [15:14] FoolsRun: The System Restore thing is basically a dpkg fix/repair and like a deborphan utility. [15:14] michal_: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:14] slm [15:14] krazykrivda: NTFS also does not support Unix permissions. either just set the mount options to make everything executable, or use the umsdos layer overtop of the FAT system, or use a filesystem library for Windows that lets you load an actual Unix filesystem [15:15] ubuntu: encrypted? did you have childporn there? [15:15] krazykrivda: there are Windows apps to run ReiserFS and Ext2 and Ext3, though some have limitations, and some are not free. [15:15] ffsdftrr: mind your manners, and keep a civil tongue in your head, sir. [15:15] ok.. i will look into changing my fstab again then.. [15:15] Would like to turn of ipv6 when booting up a live CD. Is there a way of doing that? All I could find involved modifying files, then rebooting... useless with a live CD. [15:15] Samus_Aran: ntfs supports posix permissions with commercial ntfs-3g version [15:15] !gparted [15:15] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:15] *off [15:15] ffsdftrr: inappropriate much ? [15:15] free one doesn't [15:16] ffsdftrr: how does that work ? I've used NTFS-3G and it still accepts standard umask [15:16] ffsdftrr: oh, commercial version. [15:16] Im am using empathy in lucid. In chat-rooms empathy is always auto-scrolling, even when I manually scroll up. How can I disable this behaviour? [15:16] Vigo: so why doesn't ubottu say what the G stands for ? GNU [15:17] ffsdftrr: Hmmm.. no. Don't even remeber that I encrypted it. But I could have in some week paranoid moment.. [15:17] G stands for 'GNU' last i checked.. [15:17] Dr_Willis: that's what I said. [15:17] ubuntu: is your home directory on a separate partition? [15:17] who can confirm this: in the guest mode it is not possible to execute binary executables like skype eg. './skype' (lucid) [15:17] encryptfs causes so many issues like this, its why i avoid it [15:17] some people joked around GCC means GNOME C Compiler, few years ago [15:17] sipior> no. [15:17] Dr_Willis: I assume those ! mean "negate" [15:17] not [15:17] can someone check this please and confirm [15:17] Samus_Aran: any downside to setting up fat32 mount to have exec? [15:18] krazykrivda: none [15:18] ubuntu: how are you trying to mount it from the live cd? [15:18] Samus_Aran: Is not an intelligent bot, but is very nice and I give it milk and cake. [15:18] gfdsgrtt: only admins can install / remove apps. skype will be an installed app and reside in /usr/bin which is part of $PATH so you can just run: skype and it will run [15:18] Vigo: heh [15:18] ubuntu: more importantly, what error do you get when you do so? [15:18] does anyone here know how to enable .htaccess files in LAMP? [15:18] krazykrivda: well if you are not carefull all files/dirs will be 'executable' which can be a bother. [15:18] krazykrivda: you'll need it fot scripts and Win apps running via Wine [15:18] krazykrivda: it will get "ugly" in a file manager, as everything will be in the colour of an executable [15:19] or even ls. [15:19] ActionParsnip: so in theory if I store my keyring without a password it'll auto unlock at login (or autologin) without having to mess with /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin ? [15:19] hi guys! how to recompile a windows dll into .so (the linux equivalent)? [15:19] Samus_Aran: /msg ubottu or look at the factoids [15:20] @ActionParsnip: i know but the binary executables don't need to be installed but they need to be executed with (e.g. ./skype) which don't work here in lucid [15:20] progre55: i would be surprised if that worked? [15:20] progre55: ask in #WineHQ, but most likely what you want isn't possible, unless it's a cross-platform library [15:20] FoolsRun: as far as I know, yes [15:20] gfdsgrtt: only if the binary is in the pwd [15:20] Sipior: I run the liveCD and get in to the Ubuntu 9.10. Then I just open the harddrive that is mounted as SDA1 automatically I think. I can get to my other files (except for /root and some other stuff) but not my user folder in the /home dir. It says i don not have the permition to see it. [15:20] hello [15:20] @ActionParsnip: how do zou [15:20] thanks [15:21] gfdsgrtt: zou? [15:21] @ActionParsnip: how do you get bins in there? [15:21] progre55: check first that there's no .so already available [15:21] gooootta go! goodnight allveryone [15:21] gfdsgrtt: a memberof the admin group will need to copy it for you. If skype has been installed the normal way you won't have all this messing around [15:22] ubuntu: open up a terminal, and see if "sudo ls" doesn [15:22] Sipior: So i can get in to my ?home folder, but not my old user folder that was in that folder. [15:22] 't [15:22] FoolsRun: I had to apt-get keys once, it is not advisable and should be read up on. Of course always backup the system. [15:22] ubuntu: display the contents of your home directory [15:22] <_6i> hi there, i have a problem regarding grub2: after shutdown and sometimes reboot, too, i dont get to the boot menu, but instead to the grub console - if i do the "set root=...;linux...;initrd...;boot" procedure, i can boot fine, but i would like to get that boot menu... (ubuntu version: lucid, dual-boot with winxp, xp was first, ubuntu was installed afterwards). i've tried to reinstall grub, and the whole os and still the problem remains [15:22] gfdsgrtt: try running: chmod +x ./skype [15:23] gfdsgrtt: http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html is how I did it, you will need sudo access [15:23] Sipior: Problem is it opens the home directory of the LiveCD I am runing, not the old user. [15:23] ubuntu: mount the proper parttion and it should be in /media/TheDrive/home/username [15:23] ubuntu: your filesystem is mounted, is it not? [15:23] Wow! The worst thing ever just happened to me. I was in gparted and I tried the "create partition table" menu entry. A warning came up and I wanted to say "cancel" but hit "ok". In panic, I switched off the computer. Now it wont boot anymore. Any way to get back the old partition table? [15:24] flash intermittently doesn't work in ff on 10.4. Sometimes I click a flash video and it'll run, othertimes I click and nothing happens. [15:24] Any ideas why this may be? [15:24] @ActionParsnip: skype is just an example. i cannot execute any binaries with './' [15:24] Sipior: it is. [15:24] m-g: testdisk maybe [15:24] m-g: i recall some recover partion table/info program in teh repos.. but i cant rember its name [15:24] ubuntu: what happens if you get a root shell (via sudo -i), and navigate to your old home directory? [15:24] Dr_willis: It is mounted there. What should I write to sudo it_ [15:24] gfdsgrtt: make sure you chmod +x the file you want to execute [15:24] imanc: if its the 'button' clicking thats the issue. Ive heard of some work arounds [15:25] ? [15:25] omg why bash executes sxcripts without x attribute???!!~ [15:25] jrib: would i be able to run testdisk from an ubuntu live cd? it seems not to be installed by default. [15:25] m-g: yes, you can install it [15:25] ffsdftrr: because the shell interpreter has the execute bit set. [15:25] Dr_Willis: yeh, like on youtube - somtimes i can't click a vid and get it to run. [15:25] ffsdftrr: because a bash script is just a text file until you make it executable [15:25] what the normal file transfer rate over a local network ? [15:25] ubuntu: you dont sudo a filesystem, you use sudo with whatever commands.. You could do 'sudo cp /path/to/whatever /path/to/wheretocopyto' to copy things [15:25] ubottu: thank you so much, you solved my issue. Have a good one [15:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:25] when alsamixer shows me controls, are they controls for a PCM or for an alsa-driver device ? [15:25] Abdulrhman: that can be anything from 10Mbps to 1000Mbps [15:25] jrib: you can apt-get install stuff when running from a live cd? [15:25] Dr_Willis: kiling FF nad restarting usualy fixes it for awhile. I seem to have similar problems with Empathy in the contacts list sometimes I click a user and nothing happens [15:25] alguém poderia me informar se existe ubuntu 64 bits pra baixar, se sim poderia me mandar o link?PVT por favor [15:25] ActionParsnip: its *not* executable, but it executes, is it bug?? [15:25] @ActionParsnip: i know. this is not the problem. can you check it if you can execute binaries in guest mode when you open the terminal and try to execute like './xxx' [15:26] ffsdftrr: how are you invoking the script? [15:26] imanc: known issue. with several possible fix's . one of which i hear is to hold down the right mouse button as you click with the left.. that was a new one i just saw in a site today [15:26] ffsdftrr: if its stored on a fat32 partition then no [15:26] sipior: /bin/sh skript.txt [15:26] ffsdftrr: so, you're invoking the interpreter, not the script. [15:26] imanc: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2010/05/03/workarounds-for-unrecognized-clicks-in-flash-player/ [15:26] ActionParsnip . but maximum what i got is 5 mb/s .. how i can increase it [15:26] ffsdftrr: if you run it like that then you are executing sh but giving the file as an argument [15:26] could anyone tell me if there is ubuntu 64 bits for download, if yes could you send me the link? PVT please [15:27] Abdulrhman: upgrade your networking hardware [15:27] ffsdftrr: setting the execute bit allows you to execute the script directly, which is not the same thing.

[15:31] imanc: if you like your irc client, try bitlbee for instant messaging [15:31] I changed my login password and then decided to change back but now it says it is too similar to new one so I changed to another different one and then tried to go back to old one and then it says it is to simple but it is the one I used when installing and when I reboot it ask for login key ring witch is my old password from install. how do I fix so it is old password again? [15:31] m-g: yes! [15:31] woodyjlw: as root you can do 'sudo passwd username' (i think) and set it to whatever you want. [15:31] woodyjlw: use passwd, it ignores the limitations [15:32] when I first log in my network applet manager always requests the keychain password, its kind of annoying. anyway to fix that ? [15:32] ill try , thanks [15:32] woodyjlw: or as the user just passwd i guess. :) [15:32] jrib: i wonder if i should try gpart or testdisk first. both say they recover partitions.

How to fix this? [15:49] ubuntu: that doesn't sound good. one possibility would be to image the partition (see "partimage"), and keep that on another system. another option might be to install to a separate partition on the same machine.

Now teh problem is to find a way to unencrypt it. i do know the username and password for it so if someone could point me in the direction i need it would be great. [15:53] h00k: nice old docs. [15:53] some dpkg switch to ignore dependancies? or there is some repository i don't know yet about with that old driver?

[16:39] I'm also trying to search for the problem on the forums, but everybody who has only the microphone, not the speakers of their USB headset working receives no answer [16:39] is this some kind of taboo problem?

[16:39] oh... snap [16:39] chandrageetha: run it from terminal. get away from teh doubleclick everything mentality [16:40] chandrageetha: you may need to set it executable first also [16:40] chandrageetha: Google Earth...... whatever... use Marble instead [16:40] I'm looking for a command line email client (foreground or background) that will check my imap email inbox and filter new messages into folders on the server periodically [16:40] yes. thanks, what is Marble?

[16:44] jrib: if it also downloads the messages and stores them locally, that's ok, but unnecessary [16:44] Dr_Willis, any idea where in the panel? I've searched high and low [16:44] 'best' would be to use some repos for google earth. that way it gets updated [16:44] bradbortree: hmm, not sure if procmail does that. You can check it out I guess. Maybe repeat your question for someone else to answer [16:44] irv_: no idea. I dont use ATI. they have their own control panel tool to tweak it i recall. === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [16:44] jrib: ok, I will in a few minutes === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [16:45] Dr_Willis, they do, and I've been using it to config the display, just can't find an option to change the primary display :[ thanks though :) [16:45] http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2010/05/02/how-to-install-google-earth-in-ubuntu-10-04/ Hmm shows how to make a deb.. thats a neat trick.

I got *strange* problem and I have no idea it is worth reporting or not. The 10.04 is rebooting it self (more like cutting power) without any trace in logs. It happends only if I pick up/move the laptop [Acer 4233] (like moving from desk to bed). It is happening at amd64/XFS and i386/ext4. It is *not* happening on Windows XP/Windows 7. If I remeber correctly it was not happening at the 9.10 CD clean install. If it is [18:14] worth reporting what do I need to include? syslog, lspci, what more? :-) / I am going to find the 9.10 CD and reinstall the system to check it out, but first I wish to provide all things are nessecary from 10.04 :-). There is nothing in the system logs, looks like 'emergency restart'. It goes straight to BIOS and cuz Win is running without any problems it couldn't be a mechanical/hardware issue :-) [18:14] ohh didn't know that :) [18:14] can anyone help....Google Chrome looks like it's lost it's font smoothing in web content only...the control panel looks fine? [18:14] amdfan: you have it mounted twice .... so it actually did automount when you plugged it in [18:14] erUSUL: this mounts on my 10.04, i'm sure the problem is that the livecd doesnt have something that the full install does [18:14] DarkStar1, ok thanks :) you got any further with the info?

[18:34] no password [18:35] heli: try: gksudo software-center [18:35] ActionParsnip: yes [18:35] heli: When installing or removing packages there will or should be a Password Prompt. [18:35] ActionParsnip: but I want to use that to access a separate Ubuntu partition on my hdd [18:36] Oddbio1: and i'm guessing the "real ubuntu partition" refers to the partition as the host system is a dual boot [18:36] ActionParsnip: ya [18:36] how do i know what version of crunchbang i have? [18:36] !crunchbang | myung [18:36] myung: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [18:36] Any idea how to make the graphics card VIA k8m890ce/k8n890ce work?

[18:37] anybody know what package management system ubuntu uses...having trouble with vuze [18:37] _scott: WICD [18:38] Oddbio1: you will need http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsd/ once you get the partition mounted in windows you can map it as a "drive" in the virtualbox which you can then mount [18:38] BitEncrypt: apt [18:38] <_scott> thought so [18:38] <_scott> thanks :) [18:38] anyone recommend a media playr to connect to a media tomb stream??

[18:39] I'm constantly messing up my desktop because of this [18:39] Oddbio1: not sure how well ext4 is supported in the app but it can give read access to ext3 and ext2 [18:39] ActionParsnip, will i need a plugin?

I keep getting a ruby error of net-ssh not found, but i've tried installing it MANY times [18:41] It says always "Wireless Networks disconected" How to fix this? [18:42] im a web dev - usually working with a local LAMP - off line. BUT i installed dnsmasq for dns caching - and now - when im off line, http://127.0.0.1/ and http://localhost/ are inaccessable. They work just fine while im connected. Any thoughts any one?? thanks [18:42] just downloaded 10.04, 32-bit iso file. checked hashes, image okay. burned the cd, restarted the pc and booted, and i don't get the usual menu for choosing a language, installing directly/booting in livecd mode/checking for defects etc. it looked like the install process has begun, and stopped with an unrecoverable error, and brought me to the livecd mode. anyone know what the problem could be? [18:43] Guys, just chrooted into my Installation via Live CD (because i kept getting busybox/initrmfs stuff saying giving up waiting for root device... anyway.. should there be anything in the directory /boot? >_> [18:43] dr34mc0d3r: you may need to use the hostname, may work [18:44] pchater: yes, here is mine in a clean install karmic: http://pastebin.com/Dn3rmZgm [18:44] sorry lucid [18:44] Right, well i'm runing Lucid. [18:44] bittyx, i just had the same issue! Just use the install option in LiveCD mode worked for me (vs Install from origional menu) [18:44] Hello, i could need some help with updates. I am using Lucid. There is some updates that cant be fetched, how can i fix this problem? [18:44] Or trying too at least. [18:44] pchater: try running: sudo update-grub [18:45] ZykoticK9: but i'd like to check for defects first. can i do that from the livecd mode? [18:45] ActionParsnip: Within the chroot yeah? Already done that and it only gives me : "grub" >_> [18:45] bittyx, ummm sorry not sure [18:45] Talu: can you use: http://pastebinit.com to give the output of: sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get upgrade [18:45] does anyone else know how to check the ubuntu install cd for defects from the livecd mode? [18:45] pchater: looks like grub will need reinstalling, check the grub2 docs [18:46] Previously, if I used a USB drive, the partitions would be identified as media/disk-1, media/disk-2, etc. Now 10.04 mounts as /media/. It's okay, but I liked the old way better. Can I go back to the old way? [18:46] i just tried to use the hostname off line - no go - http://ubuntu/ [18:46] ActionParsnip: Pastepinit.com and output?

[18:49] ZykoticK9: When you initially boot you'll see a screen with two emblems human = keyboard. You must press any key very quickly (it seems like 2 to 3 seconds) and then you'll get to select language followed by the old familiar options screen. [18:49] bittyx, thanks! noticed that screen before - wondered what it was for [18:49] pchater: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-generic [18:49] that was definitely an unnecessary thing to do, and i've noticed the screen but had no idea why it was there [18:49] yeah, same...

[18:54] Should last to my knowledge [18:54] does anyone know of font rendering issues in web browser running in Lucid? [18:54] so im guessing i cant just download a driver for this camera correct?

Most likely the OS will come with the driver or there will be a guide on how to compile the driver [18:56] its not fun being ignorant with linux. [18:56] Idk for sure. I avoid ipods b/c they don't play well with a lot of stuff. [18:56] all this compiling crap man i am confused.

[18:57] greg__: its all a learning curve dude, you'll get there [18:58] Yeah, its a learning curve for sure. I try to avoid it [18:58] ok i booted into live-usb-stick on 10.04 using --acpi=off, are there any complicaations with that? [18:58] Hi All! [18:58] greg__ what is your camera model [18:58] hey ARTSIOM. [18:58] greg__, what do u want to use the webcam for ?

So far my google-fu on the issue is lacking [19:00] !fr | guimbala [19:00] guimbala: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [19:00] JabLuszko: I was hoping the accelarometer (if present) would be listed in the specs. you may want to try ti find it with lspic/lsusb [19:00] ActionParsnip: Aha. Hmm need to find out how to make it work, all info on the nets are like 4 - 5 years old :\ [19:00] pulse audio, way too loud after upgrade. volume slider has no effect beyond 10%, having already hit volume for the card. any way to have more granular adjustments in alsa? [19:00] SandGorgon: thanks for the response! but I have no gui right now... [19:00] Art: u may have to uninstall .20 and use synaptic to manually get. 17 [19:00] ActionParsnip: what does it do? and should i boot it like --i8024 reset? [19:01] ARTSIOM: if you can find the deb for it, yes. You will need to remove the current one then install the one you find. You will also need to tell apt to pin the version [19:01] ARTSIOM, then probable someone in #ubuntu-server might be able to help you [19:01] #ubumtu-fr [19:01] guimbala: /join #ubuntu-fr [19:01] guimbala, utilize "/join #ubuntu-fr" [19:02] Cube``: no, the option I gave is exactly how it stands. You can add it to the file /etc/default/grub or if you edit the boot line on the liveCD before the OS loads you can add the option [19:02] ah hm ok [19:02] ActionParsnip: anything i can do when booting live? [19:02] KVM guests hanging at "Booting from Hard Disk" (latest kernel 10.04) - anyone got any ideas how I can fix this?

[19:03] Talu: seems to go in /usr/local/games/epsxe/bios [19:03] ActionParsnip: ok let me rephrase that. can i boot into the live cd using --acpi=off, then install and use it normally? [19:03] i only have one server for this... and its beefy, so I am assuming I should use it for the node controller.. [19:03] how can I kill processes by their process IDs? [19:03] and a less beefier desktop as the "cluster controller"? [19:03] kill -9 [19:04] kill -9 pid [19:04] Cube``: not sure, you may need to add the reset option too to get things nice [19:04] Cube``: yes, you can press f6 in the livecd boot screen to enter boot options [19:04] !boot | Cube`` [19:04] Cube``: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [19:04] ActionParsnip: Hmm shall check it then, thanks.

Happens when enabling nvidia drivers in Ubuntu, and randomly in other distros. Any ideas as to where I can start trouble shooting?

[19:09] Ugh phone call. Any ideas on tracking down that kernel panic? Ubuntu 10.04 is running great, but previous distros are frustrating me. :) [19:09] Cube``: yes. acpi is not only used for power so it may have other side effects [19:09] erUSUL: aw damn. so when i install ubuntu, ill have to go to grub and add the previously mentioned command? [19:10] Cube``: i do not know what the original problem was os i dunno why you need acpi=off (or why you do not need it) [19:10] erUSUL: my touchpad was not working at all. everytihng else was (screen, keyboard, sound, wifi) [19:11] Cube``: and it works if you use acpi=off ? [19:11] erUSUL: yeah [19:12] Ugly, brb [19:12] Err... ugh [19:12] Cube``: weird... maybe an interrupts problem ? check cat /proc/interrupts with and without acpi=off ?

[19:17] freshlyinstalled, glad to help :) [19:17] i have a problemm with my wireless conection [19:17] why is Lucid's fsck disk integrity check so slow starting at 70%? anyway to fix it? [19:18] legend2440: No just wait it out or get a better hard drive, fsck is important [19:18] Does anyone here use PenguinTV? [19:18] legend2440: completion bars almost always lie? how much slower? [19:19] thx boss_mc I'll write it down as well, that is something via LAN right? [19:19] conb123, nah still trying that was for playonlinux but i use wine [19:19] legend2440: I am not a system engineer by any standards but I'm gonna assume that different data takes more time to analyze, depending on how it is formatted === blendmaster1024_ is now known as Guest63276 [19:19] can anyone tell me how I can reinstall all my Mouse themes, including 'default'? === jexmex is now known as jexmex_ [19:19] Kine: No it's not, it's for xgd-open, that is the system that chromium uses, works for me perfectly and I use wine [19:19] It seems to take feeds fine, but when I click on one on the left it just opens a new tab in firefox to http://www.localhost%3a8000.com/ (I'm assuming that SHOULD be localhost:8000) but does nothing to let me see the available episodes or watch one [19:20] I want to move my ubuntu installation to a flash drive ist that possible in a running state? [19:20] mikebeecham: Why would you need to do that? [19:20] Pici: long story, but I tried out Kubuntu, which has now left all my mouse themes looking like they stepped out of the 70s [19:20] CogitoErgoSam: for a disk check, seeking probably has the biggest effect. :) [19:20] Is there something like the System Monitor's Processes tab that can give real-time statistics on which processes are sending/receiving data, and the amount? [19:20] conb123, "First, we need a bash script to run Spotify. This one assumes that you’ve installed Spotify with PlayOnLinux:" [19:20] Kine: Ah actually your right, but similar commands are used I saw it in a tutorial a while ago [19:21] mikebeecham: And changing your mouse theme in gnome now causes nothing to happen? [19:21] (Sending and receiving, as in, network activity.) [19:21] conb123, im trying this one now http://neo22s.com/spotify-links/ [19:21] <{g}> Hey People! My grub menu.lst is broken. I manually edited it so i can boot my old ubuntu 8.04 partition. But how can I add a line for my Ubuntu 10 partition? Trying to guess the entry from the 8.04 entry did not work. How do you add a section to menu.lst for a partition? [19:21] queso: Check out netstat [19:21] Kine: That's the one, I was thinking the article I sent you was that one, yeah that's it, basically the same thing but with commands for wine and not playonlinux [19:21] phillipsjk: its just strange that karmic did the check rather quickly( aproximately 5-10 minutes if i remember right) and Lucid takes 20-30 minutes [19:21] I also have a question regarding nvidia drivers: is there a difference between drivers provided by ubuntu and the ones on the nvidia site? (I've got a geforce 7600 GT ) [19:21] well, I downloaded a mac-style theme to check. That SEEMED to work within an application, but when moving the mouse back to the desktop then the theme changed back. 'Waiting' looks a very pixelated black stopwatch! [19:22] so, i tried to make a new gnome panel ... panel with rightclick->new. it made a new panel, but i couldn't see it. i assumed it just hadn't done anything, so i did it again. still nothing, so i did it again. this time by bottom panel jumped up a panel-sized row, but since it was collapsed to the side i didn't notice. then i made one more, and it diplaced the top panel. now i have 4 panels that i can't see or right click on, [19:23] ^^^does that cut off, and if it does where does it cut off? [19:23] mikebeecham: Take a look at this and see if it fits your problem, if so, there is a workaround in there (not the recompiling one, another one about copying your themes somewhere): https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647 [19:23] Hi, Can I install Lucid on a external HD from 9.04 I am running right now? [19:23] CogitoErgoSam: Is netstat different from Network Tool's "Netstat" tab? [19:23] Pici: will look now! [19:23] brb [19:23] blendmaster1024: Are you looking to reset your panels? [19:23] Pici: that works [19:24] !resetpanels | blendmaster1024 [19:24] blendmaster1024: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:24] I'm having a hard time finding info on how to set my spare partition to mount with privileges for my user in fstab.

[19:25] blendmaster1024: Hi. I'm assuming you're a blender pro? [19:25] conb123, still doesnt work :( [19:25] queso: I'm not sure if the Network Tools uses the netstat command; I do know that using netstat from the command line will offer you MUCH more flexibility in analyzing activity [19:25] Hello [19:25] phillipsjk: ok thanks [19:25] Kine: Are you sure? Did you run all the gconf commands? [19:25] Any cure for this yet http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1399942 ? ksoftirqd uses 100% of CPU [19:26] I have a dual boot with Gentoo, and I'd like to mount that partition at ~/gentoo so I can access my files as I make the transition to Ubuntu. [19:26] queso: netstat from the command line can check traffic by protocol, by port, show you which processes are associated with it, states...you name it [19:26] CogitoErgoSam: okay, but how can I get a "top" like output from it? [19:26] conb123, yeah i ran em all and i wrote my username in the first command [19:27] queso: What traffic are you trying to find? Are you trying to fix a specific problem? If so lemme know what it is and I can try to help you find the best way to debug it [19:27] Kine: Did you chmod 755 the .browser2spotify file? [19:27] conb123, yeah [19:27] queso: Ok just a sec, I'll try to write up a sort for you [19:27] Kine: Maybe restart chromium? [19:28] Hello, i installed 10.04 on my dell inspiron 1545 but when i shut down or restart it it freezes, why? [19:28] CogitoErgoSam: basically I just want to see which processes are making traffic, and how much :) it's not for any actual admin purposes. [19:28] queso: ok, that should be pretty easy; just a sec [19:29] CogitoErgoSam: Thanks :) [19:29] <_OskaR_> Hi.

Where do I go? [19:29] Hi Folks. My second try this time. My NAS-shares will not mount at boot, despite the fact they are in my fstab. A 'mount -a' after boot mounts the shares just fine. I have this problem since 10.04, and skipped 9.10 because of it. FS is NFS. [19:29] Mopeyennui: To get it? [19:31] Repeating only because of all the joins/leaves: For a Live CD question. Where do I go? [19:31] Mopeyennui: Just ask your actual question here. [19:31] is there a way to change the config dir of an app? [19:31] Kine: Anything? [19:31] Hello, i installed 10.04 on my dell inspiron 1545 but when i shut down or restart it it freezes, why? [19:31] conb123, nope [19:31] Okay.. I need to get to hidden files and directories on my HDD from a Live CD. [19:32] \celovic [19:32] Kine: Can I see the contents of your .browser2spotify? also did you check that it was pointing to the correct location? [19:32] aloww [19:32] How do I get the local permission (I know the password) to see hidden files/dirctories on my HDD? [19:32] how to logout the current user from the terminal? [19:32] hi [19:32] conb123, yeah it points correctly i checked the path in terminal and it starts spotify [19:32] rtm [19:33] does ubuntu have packages for gtk2.2 ? [19:33] queso: I'm not sure if netstat will be the best one for live monitoring; most of my uses for it are in debugging, like checking which process is creating traffic on a certain port [19:33] it seems that its on 2.0 [19:33] Mopeyennui: ctrl-h in nautilus? [19:33] Mopeyennui. I ended up using "sudo su" becuased "sudo cd (dirname) did not work. [19:33] Ubuntu isn't finding my external harddrive when I connect it, lsusb doesn't show it [19:33] queso: To analyze broader trends, you might be better off with a program like Wireshark [19:33] phillipsjk: thats because cd isn't an application, its a shell builtin. And you should use sudo -i for that, not sudo su. [19:34] conb123, http://pastebin.com/4rkjE9zR [19:34] hello, there is something weird about the interface: when I put visual effects on normal or extra I can't drag and drop active programs on my panel from one workspace to the other [19:34] what decides which monitor a process's window is created on when I'm using TwinView? In Karmic firefox opened on the window my mouse was on, in Lucid it starts to do that, then closes and opens again on the primary window. Is there any way to configure this behaviour? [19:35] does anyone know how many packages there are in the Ubuntu repositories? [19:35] can someone help me fix my screenlet ? i have the tomboy "NOTES" screenlet that produces a little drop-down menu-type thing, but it crashes when i click on any notes *(to open them) [19:35] I cannot get my external usb harddrive to work with ubuntu, what can I do? [19:35] lucid_lynx: umm ~20K-ish? saw an exact number recently. lemme look [19:35] Pici: that option is not listed in the man page for sudo in 8.04; is it new? [19:36] Kine: Ah are they your terminal commands or what you put in .browser2spotify because all that should be in .browser2spotify is this http://pastebin.com/h2LtiVPG [19:36] phillipsjk: No, its been there for as long as I can remember. [19:36] does anyone know of a good notes screenlet for ubuntu? the tomboy one im using currently always crashes [19:36] CogitoErgoSam: okay, thanks for your help -- I'll check out wireshark :) [19:36] conb123, thats what i put in the .browse2spotify file [19:36] Hello! I tried to upgrade my 8.04 server to 10.04 today using do-release-upgrade. Now when I try to boot the server it stalls with a message saying "BIOS data check successful" on screen. Perhaps someone here might have an idea of what is going on? [19:36] <_OskaR_> Hi. I got an 10.09 karmic install where the "native" ETH0 config is totaly whacked ... i mannaged to get a eth0 up running on it again via installing another "handler" WiCD, but it seams the old ETH0 in UBUNTU 9.10 still forks it up every time the dhcp lease runs out ! And alsow some apps dont have a working net ie. Shoutcast gets nowere. Is there a way to kill the "old" ETH0 and let the only running handler to be WiCD (1.6.1) ?? [19:37] Hello, i installed 10.04 on my dell inspiron 1545 but when i shut down or restart it it freezes, why? [19:37] Kine: Ah no that's wrong, they are what you run in terminal, so delete the file and then run each command one by one in terminal [19:37] Does anyone know where to buy Linux Desktops from the UK? [19:37] queso: Wireshark is a great network auditing tool, since you can write filters to find very specific activity, and then drill down and analyze the actual data packets [19:37] <{g}> Hey People! Is ther no /boot/initrd.img file in ubuntu 10 anymore? [19:37] dean: Why not just buy a normal desktop and install linux on it? [19:38] queso: So you could see what's making traffic, and also what data it's sending and to where [19:38] Mopeyennui: Try to become root in a terminal and do 'ls -la' in the directory where you want to see the files. Or, in Nautilus, check 'Show hidden files' in 'View'. (disclaimer, I am just a visitor with an other question here :-) ) [19:38] conb123, aha [19:38] dean, Just get a desktop without an operating system on it and put linux... [19:38] hi all [19:38] is the latest kernel version 2.6.32-22? [19:38] {g}: er, yes, there is [19:38] hello [19:38] dean, dell i think sells machines with ubuntu:) [19:38] when i use dd to backup , I can restore the image in diffrent hardware? [19:38] lampard, they only do laptops lol [19:38] How in the freaking world can it happen that my whole screen went light-blue and NOTHING - ABSOLUTLY NOTHING could trigger any response (No Ctrl-Alt-F1) from the system and only a hard reset could bring it down - BUT THE MUSIC KEPT PLAYING NONETHELESS?? And then, after I killed the machine and turned it back on IT DIDNT EVEN CHECK THE FILESYSTEMS?!?! [19:38] wth is wrong with ubuntu lucid??! [19:38] conb123, do i need to run something to remove the old gconf commands? [19:38] phillipsjk: Same thing on 9.10, maybe it was 9.04 [19:38] !backup | drcode [19:38] ChogyDan: Yes, if you have lucid updates enabled. [19:38] drcode: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [19:39] queso: If you use wireshark just remember you'll probably need to run it as root [19:39] phillipsjk: I am back to Windows atm, got few things to do [19:39] Kine: Er no if you ran the gconf commands one after the other in terminal they should still work [19:39] lucid_lynx: 34532 lines in the allpackages list - 6 lines of headers = 34526 packages in lucid === slide23 is now known as slide [19:39] maco: okay, thanks :) [19:39] Kine: It's just what those echo commands do there is put what you put after echo inside the .browser2spotify file, you don't want those actual commands inside the file [19:39] JabLuszko: yeah, me too. I waste too much time on IRC :P [19:39] Pici: is there a way to see the changelog besides packages.ubuntu.com and downloading the source? neither of those are working for me, atm [19:39] maco: by the way, were did you find those numbers? [19:39] ok i have deleted the browse2spotify now, now im running the first commands in terminal [19:39] drcode: I hope that link helps. *nix to *nix, usually yes. [19:39] Hey everyone. What's a good/recommended replacement for Screenlets or gDesklets as neither of those have been updated in a while. [19:39] ChogyDan: aptitude changelog packagename [19:39] dean, ohh [19:40] thanks! [19:40] CogitoErgoSam: Thanks again. Looks like a complex app, I'll have to see if I can figure it out. [19:40] dean: dnuk.com do both servers and desktops preinstalled with ubuntu [19:40] I remember reading an article which talked about a new "standard" widget app that people were using but can't remember the name... [19:40] * phillipsjk is figuring out the economics of using avian carriers (technology advances make them high bandwidth, high latency). === zz_b0w is now known as b0w [19:41] how do you upgrade karmic to lucid again? [19:41] <_OskaR_> sudo apt-get upgrade [19:41] conb123, :( still not working [19:41] !upgrade | cousin_mario [19:41] cousin_mario: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [19:41] maybe this is an uber-stupid question but... how do you install jdownloader? [19:41] thanks [19:41] hi [19:41] conb123, do you got vncviewer? [19:41] Hi guys. Is it possible to run Safari on Ubuntu? I'd like to do some testing of a website with that browser. [19:41] lucid_lynx: downloaded the all packages compressed text file from the bottom of http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [19:41] Kine: haha, well you might have done something wrong again, did you run chmod 755 ~/.browser2spotify ? [19:42] Pici: thats the issue mate [19:42] I'm trying to get xine-plugin to do fullscreen [19:42] so it's actually a compiz issue! [19:42] Gerrit: whatcha doin in here? [19:42] maco: okay :) [19:42] mikebeecham: Yep. did any of those workaround help? [19:42] double-clicking won't work, nor will pressing 'f' [19:42] Hi Folks. My second try this time. My NAS-shares will not mount at boot, despite the fact they are in my fstab. A 'mount -a' after boot mounts the shares just fine. I have this problem since 10.04, and skipped 9.10 because of it. FS is NFS. [19:42] join #perl [19:42] is wine installed on a fresh installation of 9.04/9.10? [19:42] conb123, yeah i ran the commands after eachother with the chmod last [19:42] not tried the workarounds, as a lot of the long-lasting issues require you to go re-compiling compiz, etc. I'm not that confident as yet [19:42] DexterF: No, Wine is not installed by default. [19:43] FriedrichMan: There are no stupid questions, if the package exists in the repositories, good to go. [19:43] bye [19:43] well... it's not on the rep [19:43] Kine: hmmm try the same for the gconf commands again, and also restart chromium after [19:43] thanx [19:43] Kine: Also can I see the new contents of .browser2spotify please? [19:43] and I cannot find it in the Ubuntu Software Center, Vigo [19:43] I can mount dd has iso -t loop? [19:44] conb123, it looks like the pastebin you showed only 2 lines and diffrent colors [19:44] FreidrichMan: Use Synaptic and enable Universe and such. [19:44] actually I tried visiting jdownloader.org and... it's not a piece of cae [19:44] I had problem to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 10.04 [19:44] cake [19:44] Vigo: its not in the repos, I checked here. [19:44] I had to reinstall it [19:44] Vigo: ?????????? [19:44] drcode: yes you can, create a directory then use the loop option [19:44] I am getting this message and I have no idea what it means or how to fix the situation: ASSERT: node must have _DOMElement set [19:44] Stack Trace: [19:44] 0:TV_V_nodeIconChanged([object ResultNodeClassInfo]) [19:44] Kine: Right that's good, sounds right [19:44] FriedrichMan, I don't think it is in the repos; you download the script from jdownloader.org [19:44] so I now backup it [19:44] Hello, i installed 10.04 on my dell inspiron 1545 but when i shut down or restart it it freezes, why? [19:44] Kine: Just run the gconf commands again [19:45] Matuku: I tried to follow some instructions on jdownloader.org but didn't quite get it to work [19:45] is there possible to remote ubuntu by vnc or rdp? [19:45] Matuku: Thank you [19:45] anyone knows what causes cracks in sound while using Jack? [19:45] conb123, running gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/command "/home/pyrokinetics/.browser2spotify %s" [19:45] FriedrichMan, What happened with it? Did the script not work? [19:45] I was asking earlier, but if anyone has any experience diagnosing kernel panics, hit me up in pm. I get them in ubuntu 9.10 and older as well as backtrack and fedora 12. [19:45] jdownload is the best tool I ever had for download [19:45] Pici: Thank you [19:45] conb123, and now: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/needs_terminal false -t bool [19:45] I can't get laptop-mode to start in 10.04 [19:45] drcode, agreed, it's great :) [19:45] Kine: good good [19:45] conb123, and at last:; gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/enabled true -t bool [19:45] sandking: You may want to ask that in #ubuntustudio, as most people here in #ubuntu are probably not using Jack [19:46] belive me I have checked all [19:46] Pici: thx for tip [19:46] Kine: Right that should be it [19:46] jdownloader didn't work good for me [19:46] conb123, quiting chromium and running wineboot in terminal [19:46] there is also plowdown for console [19:46] I use both === _6i is now known as _6i_AFK [19:46] FreidrichMan: Do you have the package alien installed? [19:46] Kine: Why run wineboot? [19:46] Hello [19:46] is there a way in gnome to create a "guest account" that cant use tty (via ctrl + alt + Fx), and some specific stuff? [19:47] conb123, just to restart wine too like chromium [19:47] or must i run the odissey to make a kde kiosk [19:47] Kine: Oh right [19:47] drcode, plowdown? did you try aria2? [19:47] is there possible to remote ubuntu by vnc or rdp? Is it come with ubuuntu? [19:47] aria2? [19:47] no? [19:47] what is it? [19:47] Hey everyone. What's a good/recommended replacement for Screenlets or gDesklets as neither of those have been updated in a while. [19:47] Kine: wineboot -r? [19:47] conb123, sigh nothing happens [19:47] downloads everything in terminal [19:47] anyone know what pakcage I need to unsintall to get rid of the little envloppe in the top panel , next to the volume applet ? [19:47] drcode: Short answer, yes. Long answer, yes but the built-in server is pretty limited. [19:47] i mean cli app [19:48] Pelo, you can just right click and hit remove === _6i_AFK is now known as _6i [19:48] Pelo, right click > remove [19:48] jozefk, Matuku, it removes the volume applet as well [19:48] Pelo: It might be locked so untick that first then you should be able to do it [19:48] drcode: My recommendation is using ssh and x11vnc; it provides the most flexibility and security for a wide range of purposes. [19:48] thanx jozefk , I will check it out [19:48] hello [19:48] is there good tut? [19:48] Pelo; Really? That's new... this on 10.04 I take it? [19:49] CogitoErgoSam: [19:49] Kine: I'm stumped, works fine for me [19:49] i need some help to solve a printer problem, can someone help me? [19:49] I am using ssh all the time to control my ubuntu servers [19:49] Matuku, yes, they've done the most annoying thing, they've combine a bunch of pannel applet , annoying as hell, ther's 4 differnt notification applet [19:49] conb123, linux makes me sad :( [19:49] Pelo, you are right. but I don't touch the main volume after I fixed it once. all apps has their own volume as well as my speakers... === gnomefreak76 is now known as gnomefreak [19:50] Kine: haha, it's brilliant once you learn your way around it, there's a bit of a learning curve but once you get there it's great [19:50] What's the easiest way to move /home to other partition ? [19:50] jozefk: aria2 support metalink and torrent , where is rapidshare,hotfiles and so? [19:50] !separatehome [19:50] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [19:50] can someone tell me what replaced asoundconf in lucid to perform the alsa-to-pulseaudio redirection? [19:50] How do I get the battery applet to appear on the toolbar in ubuntu 10.04 [19:50] Pelo: That is annoying; I'd guess it's to do with Evolution so if you don't use that you could just unintall it [19:50] marel, make new partion, copy /home over, edit /etc/fstab to reflect the change === mickster14 is now known as mickster04 [19:51] drcode, not in aria2 :) it's a download app but not for RS MU ...

[19:52] my Hp710c printer disappear [19:52] Kine: You know you can get google-chrome for linux now, you could try it in that, that is what I use [19:52] drcode: Using ssh and x11vnc will forward the VNC traffic using ssh; this is best if you're connecting remotely since normal VNC traffic is sent in the clear - ie passwords and stuff is unencrypted [19:52] arleslie: run: gnome-power-manager from alt+f2 box [19:52] is there other console like plowdown for RS, MU and so?

[19:53] it would be really nice to keep the alternate version boost 1.39 in the next ubuntu (10.10) because further versions also introduces problems [19:53] How do I edit it ? [19:53] Kine: chromium can be a tad buggy since it is from latest source [19:53] is there no posibility of restoring the entire default theme? [19:53] drcode, I don't know. I use torrent most of the time [19:53] marel: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [19:53] Kine: its in the official repo [19:53] freshlyinstalled, look in gconf-editor under app > panel, one of those [19:53] !info chromium-browser | kine [19:53] i got a message saying that cups is not running [19:53] :)) [19:53] My monitor will not give me a resolution above 1024x768. as opposed to my max of 1680x1050 following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution All I got was a result of: Configure crtc 0 failed.

My second try this time. My NAS-shares will not mount at boot, despite the fact they are in my fstab. A 'mount -a' after boot mounts the shares just fine. I have this problem since 10.04, and skipped 9.10 because of it. FS is NFS. [19:55] drcode: First up, are you looking to do this on a LAN, or remotely? [19:55] Pici, I just got 2.6.32 after upgrade. why you are saying there will be no new kernel in 10.04? [19:56] that's it....thank you very [19:56] much [19:56] or you want to say lucid will use 2.6.32 next 5 years? [19:56] jozefk: you get a new kernel when you change dsitribution release [19:56] jozefk: Yes. [19:56] i'm a begginer [19:56] a7041: its because the fstab file is processed before the network so the mount fails, if you add a script in startup items to run: mount -a it will be ok [19:56] Pelo thanks I'm in the configuration editor what do I so here? [19:56] Is there still a battery applet in ubuntu 10.04 for the toolbar? [19:56] a7041: you cold mayb add it to /etc/rc.local too [19:56] Pelo *do here [19:56] arleslie: sure there is [19:57] arleslie: its part of the indicator applet [19:57] even if it will use same kernel next 5 years I don't really mind as long as everything works for me [19:57] Anyone know if I can install sun-java5-jdk on lucid? I need it to compile android [19:57] freshlyinstalled, look under apps > panel > check for bottom or somesuch, look for a check box, you're on your own from this point on [19:57] ActionParsnip, well I have the indicator applet on the toolbar but I do not have a battery applet [19:57] arleslie: you can reset the panels to default and it will be there [19:57] ActionParsnip: Do It need a password then or will it automatically do it as root? === _6i is now known as _6i_AFK [19:57] oh wow.. Haiku OS alpha 2 is what I hoped 10.04 would boot like [19:57] ActionParsnip, how do I reset it to default [19:58] a7041: the /etc/rc.local will be ran as root [19:58] !panelreset [19:58] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:58] SandGorgon: /join #haiku [19:58] arleslie: ^ [19:58] ActionParsnip, thanks [19:58] conb123, tried with chrome now, doest work [19:58] gotta go , good luck all [19:58] conb123, spotify does not start [19:58] ActionParsnip: OK, Iĺl give it a try.

Will my data in that partition will be lost ? [20:00] So, is lucid good or bad? [20:01] good [20:01] Kine: Yes it would but it's about passing the uri into that command which doesn't seem to be working [20:01] marel: you dont convert ntfs to ext3 without copying. === ubuntu is now known as stpiere [20:01] marel, yes data will be lost [20:01] ubuntu will sometimes randomly lose access to certain net services and websites, but not others [20:02] erUSUL, why he can't copy /home on ntfs?

[20:07] <|littlebear|> notbenh: it's much faster since it doesn't use gnome [20:07] JenniferB: maybe you have to uncheck the "run in terminal" in launcher properties [20:07] notmorewindows: it uses less resources so is faster, LXDE is lighter still and flwm is one of the lightest [20:07] ActionParsnip, I just checked gconf and it appards I'm missing the battery applet [20:08] XCHAt, but do i have a trojan ?

[20:17] notmorewindows, what do you think about e17? [20:17] lucid_lynx not all the files but some knowed files yes... like. doc, avi, xls a so forth [20:17] can anyone help me with my xubutu? i keep getting logged out after i log in... i suspect it's just after xfwm4 starts [20:18] ewhat is el7? [20:18] notmorewindows: its not limited, its just different [20:18] enlightenment 7 [20:18] notmorewindows, it's an DE just like xfce and lxde ... [20:18] or e17? [20:18] ok... nautilus is not able to generate previews... it keeps on trying to generate them and keeps on showing the generating preview icon, i,e: the page with a clock. it shows this icon on every file.. even the folders.. what to do? [20:18] hi [20:18] ogical volume won't mount, I get Invalid Argument - was working fine until machine crashed a few minutes ago? Where do I go from here? [20:18] *logical [20:18] enav: I said the /etc/sudoers file, not documents, videos etc. [20:18] ah [20:19] jozefk: /home/jennifer/Installed/Intellij/idea-9.0.1/bin/idea.sh [20:19] enav: the problem is that I cannot recreate it because it doesn't find my user in the sudoers file because I deleted it by accident [20:19] lucid_lynx well man i thing you are in problems... i know tools to recover files but those files are common documents [20:20] that's why it's not working JenniferB . i guess. let me try and see. but I think I don't have any app which I could run as ./appname [20:20] is sure than xubuntu 10.04 is more light and fast than xp? [20:20] lucid_lynx: if you boot to livecd you can restore the file from the one online or maybe even the one from the livecd itself [20:20] notmorewindows: absolutely yes [20:20] Hi guys - just installed Lucid Lynx. When I boot up my desktop I see a purple splash screen with five dots in a row but it doesn't fit on the screen. It appears 1/3 the way across the screen. I wonder is this resolution related ? [20:21] jozefk: ook.. I'll wait :) [20:21] lucid_lynx: You'd need to use a liveCD or some other bootable media to allow you to make changes to that file without logging in. You *might* be able to do that from the recovery item off the grub menu. [20:21] jozefk: -R returns me the problem that when I use 'sudo chmod -R' it returns me the error of 'invalid mode fallen:fallen'.. epecifics please? [20:21] i like had vista i dint know it [20:21] hi, anyone know how I 'cd' to a drive in terminal? like cd C: in windows? [20:21] Pici: I'll try to use recovery mode [20:21] ubuntu: cd to the mount point [20:21] lucid_lynx: you can look at my (unmodified) sudoers http://paste.ubuntu.com/431279/ [20:22] like cd /sda? [20:22] i tried that [20:22] ubuntu: ubuntu uses block devices and mountpoints rather than constrictive drive letters, if you use the places menu it should mount your partitios [20:22] !fr [20:22] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [20:23] i need to open a terminal on it so that i can use sudo to edit stuff [20:23] ubuntu: /dev/sda is the drive. not only can you not access data this way (the partition must be mounted) you didnt access the partition which is where the data resids [20:23] /quit [20:23] sda1 right? [20:23] how can I set a drive to auto-mount as owned by a certain user? I have a USB hd that I want to plug in on my user account, but have mounted with 'mythtv' as the owner [20:23] ubuntu: mount it using the places menu, then use gksudo nautilus the partition will be accessible under the /media folder [20:23] ubuntu: tell us a bit more about what you want to do [20:24] WdnSpoon: you dont mount drives, you mount partitions ;) [20:24] i n linux xlde will be the desktop future to linux? [20:24] WdnSpoon: if you add the partition in /etc/fstab the options you set will be used when it is mounted === gatekeep is now known as synegy34 [20:24] because my mouse worked ubuntu 9.10 and no longer works with Ubuntu 10.4 ?

How can i uninstall/remove it? [20:25] ActionParsnip, I can't remember if I had asked you before about the net-ssh for gl_tail. [20:25] ActionParsnip: it's a USB drive so the /dev/ name of it changes sometimes.. can I set it to recognize the volume name/something similar instead? [20:25] Thanks for your help. Bye =) [20:25] I have installed many software. I do not want install these software everytime(slow internet). For this reason i want to make installable/boot able cd from my installed ubuntu system. How can i do this ? [20:25] hello , what do i need to compile drivers ? [20:25] thanks guys [20:25] WdnSpoon: if you run: sudo blkid you can get the UUID which never changes [20:25] hmw: I've been trying to install java and now I have a lock jre1.6.0_20 folder on my desktop that I can't remove. How can i uninstall/remove it? [20:26] ActionParsnip, cool that worked. Thanks! [20:26] krazykrivda: sudo rm -r ~/Desktop/foldername [20:26] There are some lxde ubuntu to download? [20:26] ActionParsnip: easy enough.. but why did it install there.. and will that uninstall it? [20:26] what is mesa? [20:26] notmorewindows: you can install ubuntu then run: sudo apt-get install lxde then logoff and log onto lxde [20:27] Hello [20:27] notmorewindows: or there is the lubuntu install iso you can use [20:27] i need to compile some drivers.what do i need ? linux headers ? [20:27] I have installed many software. I do not want install these software everytime(slow internet). For this reason i want to make installable/boot able cd from my installed ubuntu system. How can i do this ? [20:28] notmorewindows: theres also moonos which is one of the non-official releases based on ubuntu which uses lxde by default [20:28] I've a question about grub.

Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [20:29] again: how is it even remotely possible that after the computer had a crash with AC off THERE ARE NO CHECKS on the disks forced at startup?!? [20:30] erUSUL: what do I type there.. export stuff and such ? [20:30] ManDay: that's what journaled filesystems are for [20:30] luciano_: no habla espanol [20:30] ManDay: I'm not sure if the computer knows the reason why it died [20:30] JenniferB: just the vars and the values. SOMEVAR=somevalue [20:30] ManDay: if you ask linux users I think the majority will say it checks the disks too much already [20:30] ook thanks :) [20:30] erro de canal, sorry! :( [20:30] krazykrivda, you'd need to manually install java5 as only java6 is in repo [20:30] hello , how can i install linux headers generic ? [20:31] acerimmer_, is it possible if i want to make a live/boot able cd or dvd from my installed ubuntu system? [20:31] !es|luciano [20:31] my ubuntu is LTS with support for 3 years? yes or not ? [20:31] erUSUL, what? journaled filesystems are to not be checked after crash? [20:31] ? [20:31] notmorewindows: yes [20:31] i think that might be the reason it wasnt working earlier.. becaue I had the exports in bash.rc which I believe is loaded when terminal is open [20:31] stpiere: there is a package for it.. search for linux headers in synaptic or something.. [20:31] ZykoticK9: every attempt to manually install it fails.. hwo can I do it or where should i be getting it from? === denis__ is now known as denis-ignacio [20:31] notmorewindows: which version are you using? [20:31] I've been using linux for years now and surprisingly I have to set up the JAVA_HOME with every new distribution. Why doesn't JAVA_HOME gets configured automatically? [20:31] ManDay: yes. that's the main point of them avoid the fsck after unclean shutdown [20:31] erUSUL: do I need to restart after that? === denis-ignacio is now known as DenisIgnacio [20:31] exploit100, easier way would be to backup the content of /var/cache/apt/archive and simply copy it onto new system. If you *really* want a LiveCD I'll send the remaster factoid [20:32] !remaster > exploit100 [20:32] exploit100, please see my private message [20:32] JenniferB: maybe just a log out log in cycle is enough [20:32] xubuntu xfce 10.04 lts [20:32] thanks Slart ... do i need to configure something (male config or something like that ? ) before compiling ? [20:32] erUSUL, erm are journaled filesystems journaled so they offer rollback and fixing?! [20:32] krazykrivda, i have NO idea - I use Java6 from repo. Best of luck. [20:32] erUSUL, besides, not all my fs are journales [20:32] stpiere: the headers don't need compiling.. and you can't compile them either.. you need the kernel source if you're going to compile it [20:33] ManDay: ext3/4 is journaled.... i thnk ntfs has something similar ... [20:33] JenniferB, ok, check this link now :) http://blog.jeroenreijn.com/2010/01/creating-intellij-launcher-on-ubuntu.html [20:33] ZykoticK9: ha ok.. java6 plugin isn't workign for me that's the only reason i am looking for java5 [20:33] Slart : i ment , if i do to configure something before i compile some drivers ? [20:33] krazykrivda, what browser? [20:33] firefox [20:33] ZykoticK9: still have issue with some applets never loading [20:33] krazykrivda, it should work, i have no idea - good luck [20:33] Mopeyennui, did you fix that folder permissions or not yet? [20:34] erUSUL, my understanding of journaled fileystems is that they are journaled - transacted so to say - that does not exclude from check after crash - the journal just keeps track of what needs to be fixed!! [20:34] stpiere: not because of the headers, no.. your driver might need some configuring.. but that should be listed in the readme file that comes with whatever you're compiling [20:34] ManDay: and speeds up the check considerably [20:34] krazykrivda, are you using Sun java plugin or Icedtea? [20:34] thanks Slart [20:34] stpiere: you're welcome [20:34] jozefk: hehe, I actually found that minutes ago, why I go this new idea... he is exporting the java path again.. and I have my export in bash.rc which I've noticed is for terminal only [20:35] sun-java.. i think icedtea has been removed [20:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:35] ZykoticK9: sun-java.. i think icedtea has been removed** [20:35] JenniferB, ok is it working now? [20:35] There is some linux program like autocad? [20:35] ManDay: the journal just keeps track of what needs to be fixed . exactly!!!! so you can fix it in a split second (or two) instead of reading the entire filesystem checking for errors and repairing them for hours [20:35] krazykrivda, not sure then. Good luck man. [20:35] LzrdKing, what would you call speed up? i got 6 ext4 and one ext2 - the startup certainly didnt take more than 4 seconds longer than normal - you think all those PLUS the ext2 could have checked in THAT SHORT time?!

[21:06] krazykrivda, "chmod +x $file.bin" then probably "sudo ./$file.bin" [21:06] I tried using slapadd -l ldiffile.ldif and was told Available databases do not allow that? [21:06] not sure what to do there [21:06] acerimmer_: does this make it a live cd or a full blown install? I want the full blown install. [21:06] ZykoticK9: when i do that.. the folder appears in that directory (my desktop [21:06] Hey, im having a problem while installing grub 2 "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot seek `/dev/sda'" i tried everything from manuals. But im not getting any closer. Is there some one who can help me?

[21:07] enav, ActionParsnip: like GIMP, but then geared more towars putting checkboxes, text, etc in the screen [21:07] B4ckBOne: live cd. Why can't you just install on the other drive?? [21:07] Is there a way that I can see what udev sees? [21:07] krazykrivda, well, that's the .bin working as designed probably. You could move the bin to another location - are you sure there isn't a DEB available? [21:07] retrace: what's grep /dev/sda | grep -v sda. tell you ? [21:07] reberto ActionParsnip file name is "jre-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin" and it is from sun [21:07] retrace: what are you trying to do ? [21:07] SmokeyD1: many apps have web UIs, Transmission and many other torrent clients have them [21:07] so far the help for udevadm has not been helpful [21:08] retrace: oop [21:08] guifi [21:08] Does anybody have a working PAWM10U targus mouse?

[21:08] SmokeyD1 you can use Inkscape to make some designs [21:08] acerimmer_: i could but im connected via ssh and it does not have a dvd cd drkive or something. And i dont know how to install another way. [21:08] krazykrivda, perhaps create a JAVA directory in your home dir? or in /opt? [21:09] roberto_, nothing [21:09] krazykrivda: I recommend you move it to /opt then run: cd /opt; sudo chmod +x ./jre-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin; sudo ./jre-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin; sudo rm ./jre-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin [21:09] B4ckBOne: so a NETWORK installation?

[21:10] acerimmer_: thx! works like a charm! :-D *high five* [21:10] im not sure pidgin supports that [21:10] for some reason its not there [21:10] krazykrivda: you will need to symlink the file: /opt/jre1.5.0_22/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so to your plugins folder [21:10] roberto_, no results there too :( [21:10] ubuntu, can i mute an application from a shell similar to clicking 'mute' on the gnome-volume-control icon for the application in the applications tab?

[21:52] trond__, not sure about drivers, but the max ram in a ubuntu 64 bit system is, in theory anyway, more than a terabyte [21:52] trond__, I'd say that depends on your guest OS or distribution. what are you running the host on, and what are you going to use in vb?

[22:25] Is it running per default? [22:25] MisterEx: are you using fsb drives [22:25] MisterEx: usb* [22:25] distress: fsb? [22:25] lol [22:25] neurodamage: apt get remove -purge [22:25] use the --purge option [22:25] distress: No, there are just partitions of my HD [22:25] krachny: click the file and go properties then delete it from rh "open with" tab [22:25] How can I change the Ubuntu live CD default resolution? Xorg is using a too high resolution, so my TV just shows ”no signal” (the CLI still works through virtual console)? [22:25] Guest78627: if you're having problems getting to the other machine using the vpn feature of network-manager then check your router.. most have an "Allow VPN" switch you have to throw [22:26] ubuntujenkins: thanks, I'll check that [22:26] MisterEx: shouldnt they be like /dev/hda or something ? [22:26] ZeiP: are you sure you have the proper output (analog not digital or visa versa) [22:26] MisterEx: or are u using some expensive drives [22:27] mickster04, you mean am I sure I'm using the right connector? Yes. I'm using D-Sub, and the computer doesn't even have DVI / HDMI. [22:27] distress: it is the drive /dev/sda2, then indented is /dev/sda5 which is the specific partition of my drive. I am reading this information from gparted. They are not that expensive, no? [22:27] distress: It's one HD partitioned. [22:27] GUys ever since i upgraded my computer to 10.04, its been runnig very slowly, and is extremely unresponsice [22:28] ZeiP: ok... [22:28] Any iddes? [22:28] harjot, mm which video card? [22:28] Hello, I did just install Ubuntu server 10.4 64 bit and now I somehow can't the network to work as it did work with Ubuntu server 9.10 64 bit. My network configs are available at: http://yourpaste.net/5352/ I can ping other systems in 172.16.1.0/24 and 192.168.16.0/24 and in 79.99.130.0/25, but I can't reach anything in the 172.16.0.0/24 range. For as far as I can see the switch is correctly configured (the way we do with Ubuntu 9.10). [22:28] ATI [22:28] Anyone an idea where I should look? [22:28] coz_: It was fast on 9.10/9.04 [22:28] acerimmer_: reason I ask is even though I do that, and re-install ldap it doesn't ask me for admin password credentials again [22:29] coz_: so im not sure if its the video card [22:29] harjot, I am not up on ati configuration however it could be a video driver issue...at least I would start there and also consider a clean install instead of an upgrade... however there are several other people here who deal with ati config [22:29] hi, how I can use the sound-volume icon in lucids panel? === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [22:29] harjot, if not here you could try #radeon channel [22:29] coz_: i can constantly hear the hard drive strain wheras before it was quiter [22:29] harjot, at lest see if it is a driver issue [22:29] ok [22:29] harjot, oooo harddrive [22:29] extra information: http://yourpaste.net/5353/ [22:30] MisterEx: yeah but you probably have some special type of hd there [22:30] neurodamage: apt get remove -purge [22:30] harjot, mm so it is constantly writing to the swap? [22:30] Seems like it [22:30] hi [22:30] coz_: So should i chznge swapiness vm? [22:30] harjot, that's definilty not good... but go for the video driver first? [22:31] harjot: it's not swappines vm [22:31] andy: greetings [22:31] ok [22:31] harjot: vm is for virtual memory [22:31] MisterEx: then add 'noauto' to the lines in fstab for those you dont want booted and type=ntfs for that windowz partition [22:31] So ive asked in radeon, so far nothing [22:31] acerimmer_: yup tried that no luck [22:31] jepster: with the mouse? [22:31] mickster04: yeah [22:31] as well, how do you start an x-session in ssh? [22:31] acerimmer_: even doing dpkg-reconfigure slapd doesn't work [22:31] if Im having a DVD with a movie in it could I just copy it and play it on a DVD or does it need to be cracked like DVDs containing programs [22:32] MisterEx: and if you think its conky thats doing that then you might try a boot without conky [22:32] neurodamage: sorry then. over my head === McPeter is now known as ubuntu-fr-IRC [22:32] jepster: finish off the question === _6i is now known as _6i_AFK [22:32] distress: lol.. a conky script wouldn't change anything. I am only saying it shows evidence that the partition is still listed somewhere (on my other laptop I already fixed it listed each partition TWICE because of this script) [22:33] ok anyone know why I don't have a slapd.conf & I'm not getting prompt on installation asking me to configure things correctly [22:33] mickster04: yes, I want to change the soundvolume with the mouse. [22:33] distress: also, I need a line to put in here please. is that ALL that matters? [22:33] coz_: im getting no reply in radeon, but i am pretty sure it isnt the graphics card, everything displays fine, [22:33] jepster: click on it [22:33] hi, who is using xchat-indicator? [22:33] MisterEx: conky is a hardware monitor its task is to find devices and in your case probably mount em [22:33] distress: No [22:33] !ask | dsxack: [22:33] dsxack:: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:33] distress: You aren't understanding me [22:34] distress: Two computers, okay? [22:34] mickster04, sory [22:34] MisterEx: yeah :P [22:34] distress: This one, issue with mounting. Need help with editing my /etc/fstab [22:34] harjot, understood... and I probably agree but I would still have them troublshoot to be sure....they take more time in answering there :) [22:34] mickster04: how I can add the soundvolume-icon to the panel? sorry, for the not exact question at the beginning. === Kitsune is now known as Snowe [22:34] distress: Other computer, laptop, ran some script (it was a script to easily install multiple programs/repos/etc), and it created "automatic" mounts of NTFS drives on both, ok? [22:35] I'm wondering why my Intel X25-M SSD is so slow on amd64 (seq 160 MB/s). On 32bit I get up to seq 250 MB/s. I tested this on 3 different boards and with several different distributions. Any ideas? [22:35] jepster: right click on some empty space of the panel, then add to panel>volume control [22:35] MisterEx: so to mount an ntfs volume you copy paste on line of your fstab and change the type to 'ntfs' [22:35] hey guys I got a newb problem... I have a folder: drw-rwxr-- 3 svn svn 4096 2010-05-10 16:46 svn and my user is part of the group svn... how come i still get permission denied when I try to cd into the dir [22:35] mickster04: there is no volume control.. [22:35] How can I make using xchat-indicator, the program xchat not close when you click close the window? [22:35] distress: ... I have no "line" to copy, and you didn't let me finish [22:36] sorry MisterEx [22:36] coz_: Ive been told they work flawlessly [22:36] What does this mean when typing sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart I get sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found [22:36] mickster04: do you know if it is normal that MD5SUMS-metalink and MD5SUMS don't have the same hashes in them? GeekSquid linked me to MD5SUMS-metalink, in which the MD5 for the ISO I got didn't match, but it matches for the one in MD5SUMS [22:36] does I have to bypasses copy protection mechanisms that would make duplicating a store-bought DVD-movie otherwise impossible? [22:36] distress: The issue with conky is on the laptop it shows TWO mounts. The script uses ntfs-3g, and obviously there is still a record in there somewhere because it is listing the partitions twice on my laptop [22:36] hiya [22:37] harjot, ok.... well have you considered a clean install of lucid to be sure nothing got screwed up with the upgrade <, which wouldnt surprise me [22:37] i have a rather interesting question that just popped into my mind for anyone who might know.. i have a winxpsp3 box running beside my linux box as a backup machine, heres my question.. if i copy paste all the files on the backup machine's main drive into my wine's c: drive... what would be the resulting effect? would that help with all the "file not found" and such? would the "real" directx stuff make an improvement? would my intel gpu wo [22:37] rk a little better in wine apps? etc etc etc, my main question, what would be the final result? [22:37] jepster: try adding indicator applet or notification area, i cant remember if either of them have it... [22:37] josvuk: that usually means you haven't installed the ssh server. sudo apt-get install ssh [22:37] distress: so I need from someone the following : 1) a line to mount an NTFS partition with data in it automatically into fstab 2) info on what the heck conky is still seeing to display my mounts twice on both of these comptuers, even after editing /etc/fstab. [22:37] I got a problem with midi notation programs, I can't play midi [22:37] bedwyr: no i dont, who said i would? [22:37] MisterEx: ive never used conky so i dont know about that except the most general stuff [22:37] I only play midi files through rythmbox [22:37] mickster04: the panel with the tray icons is already there, but there is no volume chooser. === _6i_AFK is now known as _6i [22:38] distress: I can look at the script if it will help [22:38] distress: Obviously there is still a record of the mounts [22:38] MisterEx: yeah === thibow is now known as thb[Saiu] [22:38] distress: Wherever conky is looking for them [22:38] distress: Left by this script [22:38] that didn't happen on windows [22:38] jepster: then im all out of ideas [22:38] its a shell script MisterEx [22:38] mickster04: i didn't, otherwise I wouldn,t have asked if you did :P [22:38] coz_: so you are thinking i should reinstall it and all will be well [22:39] harjot, well you said this was an upgrade right? that means you had karmic and just upgraded karmic to lucid?? [22:39] MisterEx: 1) /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g users 0 0 <-- change first two fields as appropriate [22:39] does someone know something about sound on ubuntu? [22:39] coz_: yeah [22:39] oier: ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:39] MisterEx: but to add a line on your fstab is just a matter of copy paste for linux devices [22:39] yeah I've already enabled and installed that [22:39] harjot, then yes .. I would consider a clean install of lucid after backing up what you need to like bookmarks ,,, settings ... etc etc [22:39] the thing is that I can play midi files, [22:39] Loshki: I don't want to use ntfs-3g please. Can I do it without it? The script added this crap, I just want to mount it normally. [22:40] oier: do mp3 ply thru movieplayer? [22:40] distress: http://pastebin.org/219061 there is the part of the conky script that displays HD temperature and partition information [22:40] yeah [22:40] oier: file preference settings?? [22:40] hello, can somone recomend a way to save youtube videos using linux ? [22:40] that works fine [22:40] MisterEx: and you did check the settings of conky ? [22:40] coz_: ok thanks [22:40] MisterEx: ntfs-3g is the method of choice for mounting ntfs. Why wouldn't you want to use it? [22:40] Yggdrasil: firefox addon - youtube downloader [22:40] distress: See pastebin [22:40] Yggdrasil: firefox download helper add-on [22:40] the thing is that midi notation programs can't play midi [22:40] oier: weird. sorry no solution [22:40] harjot, one of the consistent attributes of upgrading ubuntu from one version to the next is that it is considerably inconsistent :) [22:41] regardless of the program [22:41] hey guys I got a newb problem... I have a folder: drw-rwxr-- 3 svn svn 4096 2010-05-10 16:46 svn and my user is part of the group svn... how come i still get permission denied when I try to cd into the dir [22:41] thganks [22:41] clear [22:41] thx [22:41] I think it could be solved with jackd [22:41] but I don't really manage that [22:41] coz_: Interesting thanks [22:41] MisterEx: whats all the garbage ? [22:41] sllik: try chmod 770 yourfolder [22:42] Simple question; displaying system info at a bash prompt, how? I don't want to ask such a stupid question on the forums. [22:42] If I install MediaWiki via the repositories will it automatically install security updates? [22:42] MisterEx: id say you could safely delete that entry [22:42] hyb lspci [22:42] thats what i thought [22:42] :( [22:42] deco, still getting permission denined [22:42] distress: It's a default script, there's nothing it DOES to the system, it's only reading information, and it's seeing SOME record of an sda1 partition on my laptop, that was the NEW name of the mount the script made, and i DELETED that line from /etc/fstab [22:42] i really dont want to grep through all that [22:42] lol [22:42] hyb it's not much [22:43] hyb i get 10lines... no need to grep [22:43] MisterEx: didyou also do a reboot [22:43] how I can change the soundvolume with the terminal? [22:43] distress: so with conky it lists /media/DATA and sda1, (laptop), both IDENTICAL and one NO LONGER set in fstab, clearly implying - the HD mount and partition information is old (it never used to do this) [22:43] distress: yes [22:43] jepster alsamixer [22:43] i think i ran it earlier with the verbose flag [22:43] that may be why [22:43] rsk: thx [22:43] distress: So it's literally like "oldmountname" (display hd info) "currentmountname" (display hd info) IDENTICAL. [22:45] distress: conky-colors uses a binary for this harddrive stuff I think, but it's obviouisly STILL seeing a record of the old mount. ideas? [22:46] MisterEx: the first thing id try is to purge and reinstall conky [22:46] Hi, I listed a couple of external devices in my fstab. However sometimes they get mounted "inverted", e.g. A lists the content of B and viceversa. Is there a way to give order in /etc/fstab? [22:46] be back [22:46] checking my new fstab with a logout [22:46] (do I need a full reboot / can I simulate one?_ [22:47] MisterEx: i doubt it [22:47] MisterEx, sudo mount -a === jew_ is now known as MistaDizz [22:47] MisterEx: you only need a reboot after installing a new kernel and so on [22:47] alzamabar: define device by label or uid instead of /dev/blah? [22:47] i am not able to ping other computers on network having fedora on ther pc with their hostname, i am only able to ping with their ip addres can i do that [22:47] so can I use UUID? [22:48] VCoolio, so can I use UUID? [22:48] bigbang12: you need to add them to your /etc/hosts file [22:48] bigbang12: you need to add the appropriate entries to /etc/hots [22:48] bigbang12: do you have a DNS server on your lan? [22:48] alzamabar: I don't know exactly how, but at least for internal partitions or drives you can; labels work [22:48] bigbang12, or what distress and GeekSquid said [22:48] i have dns server on lan [22:49] VCoolio, I ran sudo fdisk -l and the output shows also Disk identifier: 0xef12cb96. Can I use that in UUID? [22:49] bigbang12: is its IP listed in your DNS resolvers? [22:49] just try that; won't hurt [22:50] alzamabar: ^ [22:51] Great. I now have /media/DATA and /media/Data [22:51] alzamabar: I don't believe you can use disk identifier. You need to identify individual partitions within the disk anyway, not the entire disk.... [22:51] One I can't access without root privileges. [22:51] VCoolio, nope, that didn't work: mount: special device UUID=0xef12cb96 does not exist [22:51] MisterEx: yeah but that maybe due the windowz [22:51] alzamabar: no kidding... [22:52] due to* [22:52] I was using dansguardian but it would not allow me to connect to ubuntu server so I purged it from terminal, now firefox will not connect I suspect that is because of the proxy what do I need to do? [22:52] can someone else help please? [22:52] I had zero issue with my computer before the script, it's not "windowz" [22:52] yeah purge conky for a while [22:52] distress: and conky effects cd ? [22:52] distress: ... [22:52] Loshki, what do you suggest to guarantee the order in which my devices get mounted? [22:52] no its a hardware monitor [22:53] distress: It's not even running [22:53] MisterEx: Sigh. What script did you run? [22:53] distress: and /media has DATA and Data [22:53] distress: One of which is root privalleged. [22:53] MisterEx: what does the output of mount tell you about hte devices you want removed [22:53] i'm trying to remove all jpg files recursively in a certain folder using command: find. | grep jpg | xargs rm ... the problem is the file names have spaces. how can i deal with this? [22:53] Loshki: It mounted my NTFS partitions "automatically". I have modified the /etc/fstab, but it's still trying to mount somehow. [22:54] alzamabar: try this to find uuid: sudo blkid [22:54] alzamabar: to be absolutely certain of the mount order, you need to list the mount commands one after another in /etc/rc.local. Why is the mount order so important to you? [22:54] Can anyone tell me how to use dm-crypt/LUKS with an external bootloader/keyfile? [22:54] I just installed debian on my comp and wonder why it's prepacked with open office 2.4? Checked out openoffice.org and saw that 3.2 was already available for download [22:54] # rc.local # By default this script does nothing. [22:54] Loshki, because given two disks, A and B, sometimes A contains the content of B and viceversa [22:54] MisterEx: anyone or any script which issues mount commands can mount partitions, They don't have to appear in the /etc/fstab. They just have to execute mount commands... [22:54] Loshki: It was the NTFS mounting feature of this: http://launchpad.net/ubuntustart/ [22:55] befghh, Debian is not here, here is Ubuntu [22:55] Where could I find a program that does organigrams? [22:55] Loshki: distress : Pastebin of "mount" http://pastebin.org/219096 [22:55] hi, i can't run my Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06) [22:55] befghh: or you upgrade [22:55] how can i solve? [22:55] sburwood: you mean anagrams? [22:55] and, if it isn't the right channel, tell me [22:56] GeekSquid: No, I mean showing graphically who's the boss, who is the 2nd in command, etc [22:56] alzamabar: I'm not sure what you mean by "sometimes A contains the content of B and viceversa". Do you mean the disks get mounted to the wrong directories sometimes? You can prevent that by using UUIDs... [22:56] sburwood: dia [22:56] sburwood, try package called Dia [22:56] I have downloaded a new window manager (ratpoison) but when I try to log in it does not display within the GDM menu list for "session". I think I remember that you have to add them manually. Can anyone help me remember how to do this? [22:56] Loshki, that's right. How do I find the UUID of my external devices? [22:56] sburwood: like a mindmap? [22:57] hi guys after install ebox on my server it does not run at all.... what could it be? [22:57] * hou5ton is using Google Chrome 5.0+ ... and there is no setting to tell it where I want it to put downloads. [22:57] MisterEx: umount /media/DATA [22:57] bedwyr: it's in the software package system? [22:57] sburwood, yes [22:57] Oddbio: try selecting your user, then you get a window manager choice at the bottom [22:57] Loshki, or to be more precise, the UUID of the partitions within my external drives? [22:57] GeekSquid: I haven't yet tried a mind map thing [22:57] sburwood, if you're used to Visio you will need a bit of adaptation [22:57] alzamabar: sudo blkid [22:57] sburwood: dia might be what you want [22:57] distress: That one works. It's /media/Data that is "stuck" in my list (cannot access it but it's there) [22:57] any good mmorpg's for linux? [22:58] bedwyr: I'm not used to anything [22:58] alzamabar: connect the devices and then run sudo blkid and paste the output into a file... [22:58] <[Adam|Miner]> Is there a way to prevent synaptic package manger from freezing whenever I mark a package? [22:58] MistaDizz, try Planeshift :D [22:58] MisterEx: no its not there [22:58] distress: Yes, it is. [22:58] Loshki, thx [22:58] distress: hold on [22:58] sburwood, oh, alright, then you're all fresh to start with Dia :D [22:58] MisterEx: thats off topic really [22:58] MisterEx: only if its listed in /etc/mtab [22:58] Loshki, got it. I'll now use UUID in /etc/fstab [22:59] bedwyr: what kind of game is it? 3d,3d? and is it like fantasy, space? [22:59] MistaDizz, I know it's likely not the answer you're after, but there are a few good windows mmo's that'll run fine on linux/wine [22:59] [Adam|Miner]: use the command line version? [22:59] <[Adam|Miner]> There's a commend line version? [22:59] yondering: i know but every game i try to install though wine doesnt work so i gave up [22:59] Using Google Chrome 5.0+ ... and there is no setting to tell it where I want it to put downloads. It was in previous versions ... ??? [22:59] MisterEx: making any progress? [22:59] MistaDizz, 3D, similar to WoW in some respects, I have seen little of WoW though. [22:59] bedwyr: Ok, I'll try that ... but I'm used to the things where you put in a name and the program does the rest [22:59] bedwyr: thanks ill try it out, placeshift correct? [23:00] thx, and bye [23:00] [Adam|Miner]: yeah either aptituede nearly gives you a ui ( no mouse though) and sudo apt-get install {package name} [23:00] Loshki: distress: Here is my issue: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/387278/Screenshot-media%20-%20File%20Browser.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/387278/Screenshot-Terminal.png [23:00] MistaDizz, PlaneShift :) [23:00] Loshki: distress: The "DATA" labeled mount seems to be working fine. [23:00] bedwnr: thats what i meant :p :) [23:00] MisterEx: yeah its your whatever application but it aint mounted [23:00] hou5ton: "options -> under the hood" the you have to scroll down [23:01] how do I grep what video driver I'm using? [23:01] MistaDizz, just .it at the end of the name [23:01] distress: My "whatever" application? Excuse me? [23:01] cox killed the usenet why [23:01] drhodes: Geeezzzzzz .... I hadn't scrolled ..... OK ... I totally win the idiot of the day award. [23:01] hou5ton: that got me too [23:01] fluxdust: too much porn? [23:02] bedwyr: ya i found it its dl'ing atm thanks [23:02] thats the bs they say [23:02] bigbang12 have you resolved your problem? [23:02] now i am not able to ping me from other computers using ping myhostname [23:02] is it possible to set filesystem quotas for users out of ldap? [23:02] Is wine the only program that can run windows type stuff? [23:02] MistaDizz, you're welcome. I used to play it, but my box is getting too old [23:02] MisterEx: check your /etc/mtab for a listing of that device [23:02] fluxdust: it costs them money to supply usenet. They have to *buy* Usenet access from a reseller... [23:02] phrostbite: no [23:03] bigbang12, you can now ping the others by hostname, and by ip, can you ping your own by IP? [23:03] Loshki, this is completely nuts. Please have a look at http://pastebin.com/Ksq4P1Ke [23:03] What are some alternatives? Are they as good if not better? [23:03] anyone know about tempest [23:03] bedwyr: ahh well if you ever start playing again you should add me and see if i am lol [23:03] phrostbite: most all others are buyable [23:03] MistaDizz, just keep your eyes peeled for a char with the same name as my IRC handle [23:03] What are they called? [23:04] Loshki, this is my /etc/fstab: http://pastebin.com/uvyT84jz [23:04] and eigenstatests opp miss spell [23:04] MisterEx: you probably have some surplus directories in your media directory [23:04] alzamabar: what's nuts about it? It looks ok... [23:04] distress: Looks like not, only the /media/DATA one is.

[23:46] dziadu: well you can compile source in ubuntu ok i think, you should be good at that right ;) [23:46] i love 10.04 [23:46] really [23:46] good job on it [23:46] especially the design [23:46] Cube``: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:46] Brownie385: system>admin>synaptics package manager [23:46] !ask | Dirty_habiT [23:46] Dirty_habiT: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:46] Plais Halp! My computer crashed and now wineboot says "err:process:start_wineboot failed to start wineboot, err 11" It says that even after I purged the entire package and reinstalled it. :-( tears [23:46] mickster04: I would prefer to not compile it if teher is another option [23:46] no mater what I do, networking is "stop/waiting". [23:46] how do I find out why it's stalled out? [23:46] mickster04: I found the problem. It was related to me having manually installed packages to /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/hamster/. After removing these files the upgrade can be resumed [23:46] how come though i cant install gears on firefox? [23:46] cual es el canal en español ? [23:46] jejej [23:47] mickster04: I can maintain it but I don't know what about other users [23:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479062 is my thread. [23:47] 10.04 LTS is the best OS around. MS can kiss my grits. [23:47] !es | hechoensonora_ [23:47] hechoensonora_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:47] Hello I'm having a screen problem, I can't see the lower part of the desktop, Is there any idea what happened and how to fix this problem, TY! [23:47] Cube``: is that still actively maintained? (gears I mean) [23:47] SauLus: fantastic [23:47] which RDP client do I need to connect to a RDP server that uses Network Level Authentication? [23:47] In the terminal, is there a way to add support to show the ? characters as they should be? [23:47] dziadu: well just get it up to date and leave it there? its up to you from there, but youve set it up...? [23:48] dziadu: mayb there is an apt-source? [23:48] anybody? [23:49] VCoolio: i believe so, it gives you the option to store google mail offline for example, on a laptop that doesnt have an internet connection 24/7. and google mail is used by what? 40 million? :) [23:49] Dirty_habiT: it's a bit complicate. First question. What's BT4? :D [23:49] mickster04: ok, i see there is no option, well, that's why I love gentoo, it takes me 5 minutes to write new ebuild and everybody is happy :) [23:49] bodom: backtrack 4? [23:49] !backtrack | Dirty_habiT [23:49] Dirty_habiT: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [23:49] backtrack 4 [23:49] yeah [23:49] anyone know if there is an issue with keyserver.ubuntu.com ? [23:49] alien260 i have run a forcefsck [23:50] dziadu: mayb there is an apt-source?/ [23:50] mickster04: from other side, it is strange that nobody responsible for science in ubuntu didn't update it yet, it is hih recommended [23:50] i don't think it's a backtrack4 specific issue. [23:50] why would my root partition disappear? [23:50] dziadu: you could set the sources to include unstable uilds? [23:50] Dirty_habiT: second questions. Wich of these oses controls the mbr? [23:50] hi all ! i have a problem with gDesklets on 10.04. gDesklets dont want running when i click on... [23:50] Hello I'm having a screen problem, I can't see the lower part of the desktop, Is there any idea what happened and how to fix this problem, TY! === daniel__ is now known as Blaze__ [23:50] hi guys, i am looking for someone with ATI laptop experience ? (i am strugling with bad power saving problems) [23:50] Dirty_habiT, did you ever run sudo update-grub ? [23:50] Is there a channel for wine help? [23:50] hello is it possible to slow down compiz animations [23:50] flyfishing: did you recently add a panel or dock that needs compositing that don't work right? [23:50] i believe i did. [23:50] i can do it now [23:51] DDwi: If you looking for a key on the server, it sometimes takes a couple of tries before you can find it. [23:51] alien260 i ran this sudo touch /forcefsck [23:51] i would prefer grub2 to be installed. [23:51] it showed nothing [23:51] UltraParadigm, yeah #wine [23:51] flyfishing, what did you do before you got into this predicament? [23:51] Don9307, never took multiple tries before? it just hangs [23:51] Dirty_habiT: Only one of them should, if every os tries to update the mbr you'll get similar issues very often [23:51] :-( oh I got kicked from that one. It said invite only [23:51] hi, I started pppoeconf and it prints me three ethernet devices eth0 pan0 wlan0 so what is pan0? [23:51] downloaded my graphic driver only...it took over monitor settings... [23:51] In the terminal, is there a way to add support to show the ? characters as they should be? i dont want to completely switch it to another locale, i want to retain the current locale, but support russian + special (áßéëåéëg®bœ) chars for example [23:51] and I don't think anyone was in there [23:51] it's asking me if which menu.lst i want. [23:51] package maintainer's version? [23:51] DDwi: I haven't had that happen. Just what I described. [23:52] UltraParadigm: ? [23:52] or keep local version currently installed? === gt3x is now known as KAIS3R [23:52] flyfishing, could you be a little bit more specific about your graphical card and driver? [23:52] UltraParadigm: are ou registered? [23:52] you* [23:52] Appetite: try another terminal, like rxvt-unicode [23:52] btw, when i get this figured out i will post the answer in my thread so that others can be helped as well. [23:52] help me to set default soundcard in lucid [23:52] mickster04: I don't know what is apt-source [23:52] UltraParadigm, strange that it's invite only...that's just plain dumb [23:52] nvidia x server settings... [23:52] yeah [23:52] Don9307: gpg: requesting key 7AE26941 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com [23:52] gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host [23:53] Ok weird [23:53] dziadu: oh, well in ubuntu there is a list of sources to get apps from.... some are hidden, like unstable, you can umcomment these linse andit will look thrugh those sources too [23:53] It let min after I Identified [23:53] will adobe work with ubuntu 10.04 and firefox? if so what file type do i need [23:53] *me in [23:53] VCoolio: if i am SSH'ing or am on TTY how do i support it though [23:53] flyfishing, what driver are you using? nv or nVidia restricted driver? [23:53] I have a question about this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/327963 While it appears that xkeyboard-config has been patched, the patch doesn't seem to have made its way into xkb-data [23:53] Mikelevel: is it in sources.list? [23:53] DDwi: What terminal command are you using? [23:53] UltraParadigm, looks like that room'd ben hijacked ..i recall using it in the past without invitation [23:53] Ohhhhhhhh I sends you over to winhq automatically [23:53] is there any package i can install for the 1000he on ubuntu 10.04 that will be a governor for the processors to save power [23:53] ? [23:53] *winehq [23:53] room's been hijacked [23:54] sorry i must go out, bye !good night! [23:54] it's for a Geforce 6150SE [23:54] Don9307, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une [23:54] im out of here! [23:55] ahhh, winehq,, shudda known :) [23:55] Appetite: don't know; change your $TERM variable? use tmux/screen? [23:55] hi [23:55] flyfishing, please answer my question completely if you can, you are using a nVidia GF 6150SE, but which driver are you using? [23:56] Anyone any good with Wubi? I'm getting "No root file system is defined" when Ubuntu is about to install - been around on the forums for about a month now without success. Someone please awnser! -.- [23:56] DDwi: Why don't you try gpg: --recv-keys (Key ID) [23:56] how can I make a terminal launcher start on a different workstation? [23:56] bodom, http://pastebin.com/gnW9Y5az [23:56] like click it on my main workstation, but it runs on the 4th one [23:56] So... I have a 2008 R2 server I want to connect to, and its RDP is configured to use Networl Level Authenticaten. That's not changing as we've got all remaining XP stations set to use NLA, just can't connect to it yet from Ubuntu. Which client should be able to do RDP with NLA? [23:57] bodom, as stated in the pastebin, i can still ping 192.168.1.1 (the host) from the VM, but i can't ping Google.co.uk [23:57] Don9307, exact same thing, try it yourself gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 0x50A40F50 [23:57] DDwi Or try --recv-keys keyserver.Ubuntu.com (Key ID) [23:57] I've got a problem with my ssh connexion. I arrive from my client to connect to myuser@myip , but I have an error when I try to connect to myuser@mydns , starting with WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED! [23:57] Narya, you could open an ssh session on the other box to your main work station [23:57] Narya: if you use compiz, then try the place plugin, else try devilspie [23:57] Do you know what should I do ? My ssh is working, but I have no .ssh directory in my ~/ , strange isn't it ? [23:58] Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (version current) [23:58] Maarten: does it not connect using RDPv6? [23:58] Stereocaulon, VCoolio: I misspoke. Its one computer, but the 4 desktop switchers. Thats what I was talking about [23:59] japanfred: staying to you pastedbin, your firewall is completely open now. You can ping 8.8.8.8? [23:59] I lost the top border of all windows where you can grab, and minimize maximize etc..anyone know how I can get that back? [23:59] Narya: that's what I was talking about too [23:59] Vcoolio: ok. so..what's compiz? lol I should just use the second option? [23:59] * Fandekasp_ has solved his problem ... it was the client ~/.ssh/known_hosts who was fucked, I've cleaned it and now my connexion works [23:59] bodom, nope, times out [23:59] Fandekasp_: try mkdir ~/.ssh [23:59] krazykrivda: are you using emerald? if so try emerald --replace
