[00:28] Ryan__: most programs for Ubuntu you will get from the repo's so yeah through Software Centre or on the command line with apt-get. and they are Deb's [00:28] i need the ubuntu for dummies remedial edition lol [00:28] oops [00:28] jrib: Yeah, it shows "dummy output" as the only option there, and has no devices listed under the "configuration" tab [00:28] khafra: are you in gnome, logged in through gdm? [00:28] DCGstudios: What OS, what kernel? Did you write your own kernel from scratch? [00:28] jrib: Yup [00:28] Confuzed: you checking out the manual? [00:28] Confuzed me too [00:28] Ryan__: however not all programs are like that [00:28] Jordan_U its backtrack 4 (ubuntu8.10), and i just recompiled the kernel to include broadcom drivers. nothing fancy. [00:29] jrib: Default configuration. Did nothing but burn a 10.04 x64 usb which worked perfectly, then installed to the hdd [00:29] Ryan__: some programs will be in .tar.gz and that kind of thing, so like .zip in Windows, except it's the actsaul program in there [00:29] Thanks sebsebseb and CogitoErgoSam. Main concern was because all the pages keep mentioning it has been optimised for intel atom processors. sounds like that won't create any problems then, thank you very much. [00:29] CaptainTrek: Sorry I am newbie on that kind of details. The current download throughput is max 7-8 kbps while it should be max 40 kbps something [00:29] * Monotoko starts writing Ubuntu for dummies remedial edition [00:29] a lot of the stuff in manual i get as far as running apps and so on but knowing how to move the trx or deb files to right place to install is another story [00:29] Jordan_U it also worked perfectly when i was running grub off that partition before i upgraded to lucid [00:29] Ryan__: then you can compile as in unextract and install the program using commands [00:29] sebsebseb; i've always had trouble installing a .tar.gz file - i just don't know how to do it [00:29] Ryan__: messaged wrong one? [00:29] !compile [00:29] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [00:29] Ryan__: yes it's a bit difficult at first [00:29] ataufik: do me a favor, go to speedtest.net and run a test there [00:29] khafra: ok. Well I can tell you what I know. I came across an issue yesterday where I didn't have permissions to the sound device if I didn't log in through gdm. Apparently, PolicyKit magic happens when you log in through gdm to give you access to the sound devices. I worked around this by adding my user to the audio group. In your case, it may be indicative of a buggy install. Are you sure the [00:29] install was successful. Did you checksum the disc? [00:29] Ryan__: and yeah I was about to use that factoid, but mrwes :D [00:29] tell me the results (down speed and up speed) [00:29] CaptainTrek: ok... give some minutes [00:30] Ryan__, I would also use Checkinstall when you compile [00:30] mhm [00:30] Juanca: if itunes doesnt work, what do you recommend? [00:30] Hi, someone willing to help me? [00:30] is it possible to update and or patch the ubuntu linux kernel on the fly? [00:30] Ryan__: it seems quite complacted at first, but it's not that difficult at all really, once you know how [00:30] jrib: Didn't checksum the .iso; I could. Perhaps I'll just add myself to the audio group, though; if that worked [00:30] Ryan__: and as I was saying before, most of these archeives will have a read me inside them, that will tell you how [00:30] does ubuntu come with a html editor [00:30] Ryan__, it'll allow you to uninstall using Synaptic Package Manager [00:30] !html | felon [00:30] felon: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [00:30] HTML: Unable to validate | felon: You need to supply a URI scheme (e.g http) [00:30] bsmith093: on fly? you can install and/or patch , then need a reboot [00:30] felon: also you could install Seamonkey [00:30] khafra: even if it works, this may be a hint that something else went wrong. You should certainly have sound if it worked on the live cd [00:30] sebsebseb, that doesnt' happen that often :) [00:31] What is the proper format to ask for support here? [00:31] jrib: hrm. I'd have to make an audio group; there isn't one built-in. [00:31] how do i get the latest ubuntu kernel patches [00:31] CaptainTrek: I got info from here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G#Mobile%20Broadband%20cards to install serial.cs module. But seems its old manual. [00:31] mrwes: that you used it before me? well sure, but I was trying to explain first what it meant, before using factoid [00:31] khafra: erm, there was for me... hold on [00:31] ubuntu, tnx for your help [00:31] have goood time [00:31] by [00:31] mrwes, so, basically, it's installing it, but you gotta type the commands in a terminal? [00:31] !detail | Castarmax [00:31] * kyubutsu agrees with jrib on 'adding user to audio group' solution [00:31] sebsebseb, sorry -- didn't mean to interfer [00:31] Ryan__: yes [00:31] !detail [00:31] jrib: Oh, whups [00:31] Ryan__: after extracting [00:31] ataufik: ohhhhh... you're on mobile broadband? [00:31] Ryan__: you will extract it some where [00:31] !details | Castarmax [00:31] Castarmax: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [00:31] DCGstudios: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg? Custom menu entries go in /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but unless you used non standard names for your kernel / initrd auto detection should have worked. [00:31] CaptainTrek: yes [00:32] jrib: There is; I was distracted by the "pulse" and "pulse-access" groups [00:32] ataufik: that makes an insane difference in my answers... [00:32] Ryan__: you can extract using the terminal, or graphically easilly [00:32] i have manual saved it does have a lot of help with hardware [00:32] !details [00:32] Ryan__, yah --- configure / make / make install or checkinstall [00:32] I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else [00:32] CaptainTrek: Merlin U630 is UMTS mobile broadband [00:32] Ryan__: then cd into the folder it's distracted, cd /home/Ryan/example [00:32] sebsebseb. extracted? [00:32] mrwes: you didn't have to pm that :D ,but nevermind [00:32] ataufik: mobile broadband is NEVER going to give you your full speed, as it relies on the same radio signals as cell phones IIRC (at least in the USA). the further you are away from a tower or signal, the slower the speed [00:33] Ryan__, then of course there is subversion :) [00:33] Ryan__: yes think Winzip file in Windows [00:33] Ryan__: I assume you know what that is [00:33] ataufik: i've NEVER gotten the super fast speeds that my mobile broadband advertises [00:33] Castarmax: what is your support-question ? [00:33] Anybody knows what to do when opera plays flash sound but shows nothing than white? [00:33] Jordan_U thanks for the info ill check out that custom file. I just ran update-grub and it detected all the correct partitions/OSs (the grub.cfg should be essentially default now). But its detecting my OLD vmlinuz kernel.. [00:33] Ryan__: in Windows those kind of files are just used for archeving data and that's that, in Linux distros they can be used for that, but also for programs [00:33] CaptainTrek: I am using the modem in my home. But if I use it under windows, I get better throughput [00:33] ataufik: but thats because the speed advertised is in optimum conditions. in reality, its NEVER in optimal conditions you're using it [00:34] jrib: Freaky. "users-admin" has an actual check-box for "allowed to use audio devices" and mine was unchecked by default. WTF was Shuttleworth thinking? [00:34] ataufik: i dont know why then, and unfortunately, it might just be the difference between Windows and Linux. [00:34] Ryan__: so you extract the archeive file. so for example .tar.gz into a folder. and then using the command line, cd into the folder, and then install using the commands to install [00:34] ataufik: you might wait around to ask someone else though if ya want [00:34] im having random i/o errors on known good drive after upgrade to 10.04 syslog is posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/431914/ full logs posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/431914/ [00:34] DCGstudios: Did you follow the same naming convention with your custom kernel as is used with your detected kernel? [00:34] I think I was use serial.cs in 8.10 or older version... and yes it can speed up the modem to max speed [00:35] ...how do i remove flashplayer? sudo apt-get remove flashplayer is not enough... [00:35] Hey guys [00:35] Castarmax: ext - filesys ? [00:35] khafra: I think this just corresponds to audio-group membership. This seems to get handled by policy kit/ device kit now (I don't understand much about either of these atm). I can check on my laptop where I still use gdm and haven't added my user to the audio group if we are still stuck [00:35] Is there a way to get 2.1 audio setup in ubuntu? [00:35] Ryan__: get the idea? [00:35] !flashplayer [00:35] 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 [00:35] sorry? [00:35] zanzibar1982 what browser do you use [00:35] I looled in the setting and there isn't 2.1 [00:35] CaptainTrek: I think I was use serial.cs in 8.10 or older version... and yes it can speed up the modem to max speed [00:35] its just 5.1 and 4.1 [00:35] zanzibar1982: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer [00:35] I am trying to use firefox [00:35] khafra: oh someone should do it I guess, you used the three letters like that, so watch the language :) [00:35] Castarmax: which filesystem is on this drive [00:35] ok [00:35] and turning muting the back speakers is screwing everything up [00:36] ext3 [00:36] !who | Castarmax [00:36] Castarmax: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:36] heh like BFD? [00:36] Jordan_U: Well its just called vmlinuz, and its detecting my "vmlinuz-old".. Would it be best to approach the menu item with the 40_custom file or in grub.cfg? [00:36] hello [00:36] ataufik: i try not to mess with my system files, so wait for a bit to get help from someone with that [00:36] is ext4 better than ext3? [00:36] Castarmax : so you should boot a live cd and do a filesystem check [00:36] !best | myrl [00:36] myrl: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. === sam_ is now known as Guest20156 [00:36] Ryan__: still here? [00:36] CaptainTrek: ok.. thanks. Perhaps you know who can help me with my issue? [00:36] ok.... [00:37] DasEi: i did all was fine [00:37] one question not covered in manual can ubuntu play a blu ray disc? [00:37] ataufik: unfortunately, no, you'd have to wait around and ask someone about it specifically [00:37] I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else [00:37] CaptainTrek: ok. THanks [00:37] myrl: ext4 has some advantages over 3, but minor still, also ext3 can be accessed from win, not so ext4 [00:37] oh ok [00:38] thanks [00:38] !ext4 [00:38] Hi y'all... Has anyone here used grdesktop? I'm connected to my office network through Aker security client, I'm able to ping some machines but I can't access my machine remotely...It's givin' me 'Connection refused' error message. any ideas? [00:38] DCGstudios: If you name the kernel in the form "vmlinux-2.6.xx" and the initrd in the form "initrd.img-2.6.xx" then it should be properly detected (and properly ordered with higher version'd kernels first in the menu) [00:38] matcouto: firewall blocking? [00:38] Is there a away to set up 2.1 audio on ubuntu? [00:38] The only options I can see are 5.1 and 4.1 [00:39] can I edit a file or something and turn off back speakers? [00:39] 2.1 should work, it is just stereo with a sub right? [00:39] can I edit a file or something and turn off back speakers output? [00:39] Ya [00:39] but there is no option for 2.1 [00:39] Raptors: you could just select stereo mode .. [00:39] Jordan_U: So the best approach would to be simply rename the vmlinuz file / intrid file and run update-grub again? [00:39] Should I install the restricted drivers for the "Mobility Radeon HD 4200" that come with 10.04 or use the open source drivers? [00:39] DCGstudios: Yes [00:39] but then the sub isn't being picked up [00:40] DasEi: this happened immediatly after the upgrade to 10.04 it may be related to Compiz/Nvidia/xserver/gdm those all created trouble after the upgrade [00:40] jrib: Well, thanks for the help; even if I don't quite understand the problem. Hopefully those revised permissions will take effect next time I log in. [00:40] ok guys... I removed --purged firefox and flash-plugins... now how do I reinstall ffox without ubu to call it Namoroka??? [00:40] Any help? "Clock" has quit unexpectedly [00:41] mine only works with analog sound and there is no blu ray player so i miss seeing movies and optical sound [00:41] khafra: policy kit/device kit not working right would explain your mounting issues too [00:41] Raptors: Does setting "Fade" all the way to "Front" in System > Preferences > Sound achieve what you want? [00:41] My post on Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480594 [00:41] "Clock" has quit unexpectedly [00:41] How do I change channels? [00:41] zanzibar1982: I think Namokoda is Firefox for linux witha different name [00:41] Juanca no it is not [00:41] Fade? [00:42] zanzibar1982: How do you know? [00:42] I just want a front 2 channels and a sub channel [00:42] Jordan_U: Awsome ill give it a shot, one more question.. when i look at the grub and grub2 packages its not even installed (grub-pc is).. So how can i enter the grub console? (to execute find stage commands) [00:42] ffox is freeware and opensource, check yourself on homepage [00:43] Jordan_U: just got disconnected from crappy wifi [00:43] infecting peoples computers i fix with my botnet, double win.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:43] I updated something wrong, and now I get this namoroka on anyone of my ffox backup :( [00:43] y [00:43] i downloaded a game called lugaru HD, how can i alt-tab out of it while playing? [00:43] DCGstudios: Installing via the grub shell was never the way upstream grub recommended, and it is not possible to install via the grub shell in grub2. Just use grub-install. [00:44] Jordan_U: yea but id like to use find /boot/grub/stage1 [00:44] So for some reason, Lucid isn't letting me persist the # of open files limit. I've tweaked the /etc/security/limits.conf file and rebooted and ulimit -a still shows the default, 1024. I've also tried setting it manually as root, which works as long as I'm root, but the setting is lost once I exit. This worked in Hardy. And help? [00:44] omar, maybe you need to have another program open for alt-tab to work [00:44] Jordan_U: so there is no way to access grub CLI? [00:45] test34, i have a million things open including this xchat ;) [00:45] DCGstudios: Why? (grub2 doesn't have a stage1 BTW, it has a boot.img and core.img) [00:45] No one know how to get 2.1 working? [00:45] geeze... [00:45] i was lucky enough to figure out how to get any sound from ubuntu [00:45] DCGstudios: There is via grub-emu, but whatever you are trying to do there is probably a better way to do it. [00:46] omar, sorry don't know then [00:47] how doyou clean the file system to get rid of unneededstuff [00:47] how do i check the currently installed packages against their sources rather than their most recent debs, for updates? [00:47] !panels [00:47] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:47] zanzibar1982: here it says namoroka is firefox 3.5 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Namoroka [00:47] Raptors: "Fade" is like "Balance" but for front / back rather than right / left [00:48] ty all for the help, going to go boot ubuntu to see if i can get some stuff from software center [00:48] Jordan_U: Okay, well i was just making sure the HD(0,5) was correct as my partitioning setup is fairly complicated [00:48] Raptors: So I think that moving fade all the way to the front will effectively turn off the rear speakers. === david_ is now known as dlublink [00:48] Raptors: But I don't have a 5.1 system to test that with. [00:51] Jordan_U, its outputting everything really staticy if I do that. [00:51] Raptors: Try asking in #pulseaudio [00:51] alright [00:51] <[manas]> ppl go to sleep [00:52] Jordan_U: is there an OSS room as well? [00:53] CaptainTrek: you mean computer's or network's firewall? there's running ubuntu. The security ubuntu configuration does denie it as default? [00:53] Castarmax: I don't know, but IMHO alsa > oss for almost all hardware and uses. [00:53] I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else [00:53] Unreal has no sound unless i use OSS [00:54] Jordan_U: What would be the best way to see what kernel my vmlinuz is running? considering i have access to the partition from here but i cannot boot into it [00:54] Is there any way to mount a drive by UUID without using fstab? [00:55] Is there any way to mount a drive by UUID without using fstab? [00:55] Castarmax: The real solution to that is to use aoss or padsp to run Unreal. [00:55] Juanca: I think you might have better results here http://www.aptana.com/support [00:56] john_d__: what do you want to accomplish? [00:56] john_d__: Yes, use /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [00:56] can anyone please help me understand why UFW isn't logging successful traffic to /var/log/messages when i have logging on full? [00:56] Jordan, How do I mount with /dev/disk/by-uuid [00:56] Jordan_U: ill look into that thanks [00:56] tree /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep "s[a-z][b-z]1$" [00:56] That is houw I am finding them [00:56] john_d__: What are you trying to accomplish? [00:56] Jrib, I want to plug in 25 sd cards to 1 linux box mount them all, send files down, unmount, and repeat [00:56] john_d__, I believe blkid will report the uuid too [00:56] john_d__: i believe you can just manually use the mount command and give it the switches it needs in the c/l [00:57] john_d__: don't they get mounted automatically in gnome? [00:57] and bsteadmanis correct blkid does that too [00:57] I am using console only [00:57] im going to use an ncurses "gui" [00:57] Castarmax: You're welcome. [00:58] The thing is I need to batch format the drives, then send files down, then unmount them so we can take the 25 out and put another new 25 in [00:58] john_d__: don't see why you would use uuid, seems like just using /dev/sdX would be easier to script, but you can get at them anyway you would like through /dev/disk/by-* as others pointed out [00:58] caleborn999 ufw has its own log at /var/log/ufw.log [00:58] I dont understnad how to do that jrib [00:58] hello [00:58] is it mount /dev/disk/by-* [00:58] ? [00:59] Jordan_U: you know about random i/o errors on good drive after 10.04 upgrade? [00:59] I'm looking for an easy way to chop up a large audio file into a bunch of smaller ones. Can anyone recommend something? [00:59] john_d__: why are you using cli if you aren't comfortable with it? [00:59] don't know if this is the right forum [00:59] * john_d__ sighs [01:00] CogitoErgoSam_: thanks, in that case it's not logging anything. i have logging on full, but when i log in with ssh and then check log files, there's no mention of the successful login [01:00] CogitoErgoSam_: any ideas? [01:00] how do I mount with /dev/disk/by-*? [01:00] john_d__: the syntax for mount is: mount block_device mount_point. What you said makes no sense. Use a for loop [01:00] caleborn999: use grep to search for UFW logging? [01:00] Castarmax: What type of drive? (internal hard drive, DVD, USB) [01:00] Jrib... I dont know what you mean when you say "use /dev/disk/by-*" [01:00] CogitoErgoSam_: i've done that on a few logs, but in this case, ufw.log does not even exist. it's a new server and the logs are super short [01:01] john_d__: type ls /dev/disk/by-* in a shell [01:01] Jordan_U: internal HD but its good [01:01] how do i check the sources of all packages installed on my system and download compile and install the latest source if its newer than what i have? [01:01] k [01:01] caleborn999: you can run grep recursively on the directory with grep -r "UFW" /var/log/* [01:01] bsmith093: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (assuming you installed from repos) [01:01] bsmith093: Install gentoo :) [01:01] DasEi: my 2 year learns to type [01:02] so now that I have all of those... what am I looking at jrib? [01:02] i tried gentoo actually. it was going perfectly right up until i rebooted and got a grub file not found error [01:02] john_d__: you are looking at symlinks pointing to your devices. You asked about uuid's, well one of the directories is /dev/disk/by-uuid/. Those are your devices listed by their uuid [01:03] jrib: I understand that, but how do I go about mounting them by say UUID or by ID? [01:03] john_d__: start by mounting one of them. Do you know how to do that? [01:03] CogitoErgoSam_: grep didn't find any record of successful logins [01:03] jrib: Not by ID or UUID [01:04] a package i have is asking for libosgParticle.so.61 except in synaptic manager there is no package with such name [01:04] jrib: under /dev/disk/by-id: I have usb-USB_2.0_SD_MMC_Reader_834340170017-0:0-part1 [01:04] john_d__: use « mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/blahblahuuidhereblahblah mount_point ». Why do you want to do it by uuid anyway? === brad[] is now known as bradbook [01:05] bsmith093: Trying to make Ubuntu into something it's not, a rolling source based distro, is futile. [01:05] jrib: IDK, just seemed to be easier to grep :D [01:05] ty i willg ive it ago [01:05] Jordan_U: Where does grub search for the initrd and vmlinuz? is it just in '/' ? [01:05] ok then [01:05] john_d__: I would imagine just using /dev/sdX would be easier since the last 25 would correspond to what you wanted to mount [01:05] a package i have is asking for libosgParticle.so.61 except in synaptic manager there is no package with such name [01:05] What do i install? [01:06] jrib: hmm.. What happens if I have an SDA1.. All the new usb drives iwll be SDB,SDC and so on. If I have 25, or 50 for that matter, do they just go to SDA2, SDB2? [01:06] Purpley: what package r u trying to get?? [01:06] john_d__: not to mention I am curious as to what happens with more than 26 devices :) [01:06] CogitoErgoSam_: ufw status verbose reports that the firewall is active, logging is on (full), and the ssh rule i'm testing is set to log [01:06] jrib: me too [01:07] acerimmer, libosgParticle.so.61 [01:07] !find libosgParticle.so [01:07] File libosgParticle.so found in libopenscenegraph-dev, libopenscenegraph56 [01:07] john_d__: do it! sda2 would be confusing since that's for a partion on sda. I imagine it starts doing sdaa [01:07] Where does grub search for the initrd and vmlinuz? is it just in '/' ? [01:07] jrib: yah thats what im thinking too [01:07] bastid_raZor, So would i have to create a symlink? [01:07] jrib: now that you mention it, SDX is the easiest way to go [01:07] jrib: well I will have to plug in 30 usb drives and test it :LD [01:07] DCGstudios: It searches wherever is specified in the grub.cfg. Note though that grub does not have mount points, so all paths are relative to the filesystem root. If you have a separate /boot partition then the kernels are seen as being at (hdx,y)/ by grub [01:08] Doe anyone know what happens if I have more than 25 drives plugged in? Does it go from say SDZ to SDAA ? [01:08] john_d__: yeah, just make sure you keep in mind which ones aren't usb drives so you don't nuke the wrong thing [01:08] for some reason ever since I installed lottanzb/hellanzb I do know it is that particular app that has stopped my ability to use cpu scaling applet or cpufreq-selector from CLI. How do I go about resolving this problem? [01:08] Purpley: i don't rightly know. someone else might. [01:08] jrib: that is why I went with the UUID idea first ;) [01:08] DCGstudios: You can find the path relative to the filesystem root with "grub-mkrelpath /path/to/file" [01:08] celeborn99: nothing in kern.log? Try grep -i "UFW" on /var/log/kern.log [01:08] Jordan_U: cool thanks jordan [01:09] DCGstudios: You're welcome. === david_ is now known as dlublink === udi is now known as venik212 [01:09] john_d__: right, but the uuid for sda1 is harder to recognize than just "sda1" [01:09] my sounds in gnome are gone... ;-( [01:09] CogitoErgoSam_: this is a brand new server, kern.log has only one (unrelated) messages in it [01:09] anyone knows how to restore them? [01:09] isnt them empathy mail icon supposed to change colors letting you know if you have mail [01:09] mine doesnt work [01:10] john_d__: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/admin-primer/ch-storage.html says "sdaa" [01:10] NICE! === nix is now known as Guest21003 [01:10] jrib: THANKS! that mount syntax you showed me worked!!! [01:10] jrib: you solved my problem. thank you [01:10] john_d__: now use a for loop to do all 25 [01:11] zac@zac-desktop:~$ ln -s libopenscenegraph-dev libosgParticle.so.61 [01:11] that wont work either [01:11] CogitoErgoSam_: i've reloaded the firewall (ufw reload), just to see if it helped. it didn't [01:11] Where do I get libosgParticle.so.61 [01:11] john_d__: You may want to use /dev/disk/by-id/ , which lets you access drives by hardware ID. If you use /dev/disk/by-id/ you can limit the drives mounted to those whose ID starts with "usb-USB_2.0_SD_MMC_Reader" [01:12] Jordan_U : that is exactly what I plan on doing [01:12] Is there a way to see the entire IRC channel topic in Empathy? [01:12] Jordan_U : I am using /dev/disk/by-id/ but the problem is some of them say "-part1" at the end [01:13] Jordan_U : Which denotes that they are "SDB1" instead of "SDB" or whatever [01:13] john_d__: Why is that a problem? [01:13] !#empathy|dpratt71 [01:13] dpratt71: Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu, replacing !pidgin [01:13] Jordan_U : well can I do the command "mount /dev/sdb/ /media/test" [01:13] How do I tell gnome to use OGG sounds? [01:14] celeborn999: Not sure what else to recommend; I'm not all that experienced with the netsec side of things [01:14] Jordan_U: I plan on grepping it to say "s[a-z][b-z]1$" [01:14] Where do I get libosgParticle.so.61 [01:14] CogitoErgoSam_: that's okay, thanks for trying. this is really just a feel-good to make sure the firewall is working [01:15] Hey guys, I'm having trouble sharing an external hard drive with Ubuntu to my windows computer, I can see it on Network places but it says access denied please contact server admin, but when I go to my external in Ubuntu and I put the permisions to read and write as soon as I exit the properties panel it reverts back to not being able to read and write any ideas? Sorry this is alot [01:16] john_d__: You are doing things very inneficiently. I recommend reading http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls and searching through http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ when you have a problem. [01:16] Thanks! [01:16] john_d__: You're welcome. [01:16] jordan_: these are to pairs of shoes, win won't care about linux-permissions and vice versa, but the sys you mount it first to sets sharing permissions [01:17] Jordan_U: I just gave your ideas a try and im still getting the error which i wrote down. Kernel Panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) [01:18] Jordan_U: the system im trying to boot is located on /dev/sda5 hd(0,5) [01:18] DCGstudios: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg? [01:18] DasEi: When I use the built in Shared Folders program in Xubuntu I can choose what files to share with my windows and I can also change the read and write with the Ubuntu permissions but i just don't understand why ever other folder will share but my External Hard drive will not [01:19] Where do I get libosgParticle.so.61 [01:19] on 10.04 i can't seem to get my syntek camera up and running [01:19] jordan_: you attached the external to the xubuntu.box.. [01:20] Jordan_U: yea sure... http://pastebin.com/vnGrEy14 [01:20] jordan_: the mount-folder has other then root permissions.. [01:20] bah, anyone know what the google-desktop binary is called? [01:20] jordan_: you set this folder to be shared.. there you go then [01:20] hey, i'm in lucid, and my harddisk-check at startup is currently running, but pressing C doesn't cancel it [01:20] is there any way to fix it? [01:20] Loshki: it vorkt! [01:20] DCGstudios: It's missing the initrd, what did you name the initrd? [01:21] BlubbTec: shouldn't do it [01:21] DasEi: I DO DO that but when I exit the permissions panel everything reverts back to None instead of Read and Write [01:21] yeah sure but [01:21] franks2: try using autocomplete -> goo [01:21] its already taken 30min from 73% to 91% [01:21] for hard disk 1 [01:21] BlubbTec: but want to risk a break ? esc or ctrl-c [01:21] Jordan_U: right now its just initrd.img i put the name back [01:21] and all in all i got about 1000gb [01:21] BlubbTec: Try escape FIRST [01:21] ah [01:21] Does anyone here know how to troubleshoot cpufreq-selector problems? [01:21] it just finished [01:21] at 91% [01:22] lol [01:22] BlubbTec: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:22] I'm having three very serious problems after upgrading and I'd love any input: I have a 5,1 Apple Macbook Pro. Before the upgrade these things were not issues: One, My accelerated nvidia driver works exactly every other time I boot my computer. Every other time it tells me it has to work in failsafe mode. Second, when I wake up from sleep/hibernate, my laptop is unable to release its IP Address from my router. Three, Flash performane is te [01:22] rrible. Two simultaneous youtube videos are enough to crash my computer (like, the entire computer freezes and halts). I'm not so worried about the third problem because its probably a result of adobe having their thumb up their bums, but the other problems are rather serious. [01:22] jordan_: did you own the mountfolder correctly ? [01:23] hhhhjkjdsacklaklkjlfigluhq3riekaov8;agv8;8iogi3;lq9hiqr9ahirvfio99999 [01:23] 99999 [01:23] which is the best Torrent client ? [01:23] DasEi: BlubbTec: Pressing escape will cancel a routine filesystem check, which is safe. ctrl+c will stop a routine filsystem check and will also stop filesystem *repair* which is not safe. [01:23] !pm | jordan_ [01:23] I got a file .doc and then I saved in .odt. After that, I changed it (I wrote other things on it) and I tried to save as .doc, but openoffice showed a message that the file had crashed... how can I sabe my .odt file in .doc ??? [01:24] i have a question, i am in the hospital, why i can't connect to their wifi? i see it, its not secure?! [01:24] @alket I prefer Transmission, but KTorrent is good as well. It pretty much comes down to which interface you like better. [01:24] DasEi: what do you mean by Own? Sorry I'm relatively new to Ubunto [01:24] Ubuntu* [01:24] jordan_: are the regular usernames same on xubuntu and win ? [01:24] Lucid Review on Digg: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2010/05/lucid-dream-ars-reviews-ubuntu-1004.ars [01:25] Mcl0vin they may have MAC address filtering? is it wifi for the patients? [01:25] DasEi: Yes [01:25] !offtopic | acerimmer [01:25] hawkrives: I don't want to be rude but I don't like KDE at all, maybe I should just stick with Transmission [01:25] jordan_: you set access to folders by chmod / chown amongst others [01:25] Jordan_U: So should i just go ahead and append the initrd line into my grub.cfg? [01:25] jordan_: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [01:25] acerimmer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:25] alket: take a look at vuze [01:25] i have a question, i am in the hospital, why i can't connect to their wifi? i see it, its not secure?! [01:26] @alket That is what I am using now. Unless you dont like Transmission, in which case there are probably 4-5 other GNOME torrent apps int the Sofware Center. [01:26] DCGstudios: Name your initrd in the same form as your kernel image, initrd.img-2.6.xx [01:26] mcl0vin_: is it a wifi for the patients? if not it is most likely secured and may have mac address filtering [01:27] mcl0vin_: try opening a web browser first. [01:27] bedwyr: the SSID says its for vistors [01:27] hey guys... has the wallpaper rendering been fixed ? [01:28] dual monitor wallpaper rendering rather [01:28] mcl0vin_: and it doesn't assign you an IP? [01:28] bedwyr: no [01:29] mcl0vin_: have you asked if you need a key to access it? the way you've made your sentence it sounded like you'Re asking if it is secured. at least the way i parsed it [01:30] qaissi: be more specific. Is it private server that only certain groups of people can access? If so what you are talking about is illeagal [01:30] hawkrives: it was open from old session === thb[saiu] is now known as thibow [01:30] i am using my phone now to chat with you folks [01:30] sorry that was response to something few hours ago. Forgot to scroll down === mickster14 is now known as mickster04 [01:31] bedwyr: sorry , now it is not secure , because i don't see the lock on it! i can see their AP "cisco" [01:31] so mac filtering is possible [01:31] i will log out then reboot and then re try! [01:32] mcl0vin_: yeah, but odd for visitor connection... unless they have some way to make it happen without restarting router [01:32] bedwyr: make what happen? [01:32] then again i never used mac filtering, i wouldn't know if it does need to be rebooted >.> [01:33] the filtering [01:33] all beautiful theory that i never applied :( [01:33] bedwyr: in Cisco, no you don't need to reboot the switch or router [01:34] mcl0vin_: ah, I see [01:35] hi anyone with good results running flash with qemu on ppc? [01:35] * mcl0vin_ logging off [01:36] Siegfried: what os is on the qemu image, what version of flash are you interested in [01:37] LinuxPhreak, i didn't try at all, there's nothing about it on the ubuntu site or anything, the only place i found things is on the opensuse site.. [01:37] hey guys/gals [01:37] i want to run any flash version, 9 would be ok too but it's not in apt [01:37] Siegfried: well you can put any thing on Qemu [01:37] is there any way to load and keep drivers on a live usb ubuntu? [01:38] question? i have ubuntu in my pc, but i would like to find the sound driver and video driver of this motherboard PC Chip M909G, some can help with that!! i only found the NIC Driver.... [01:38] My system just thre me out of my session back to login screen totally on random -- with no notification. I had multiple work related things open, and they were fortunately unharmed. [01:38] ausylo: yes but drivers wont work on other computers because they specific to certain hardware [01:38] How can I find out any log or anything about why it did so? [01:38] hey [01:38] Ausylo, maybe by the reserved extra space option. [01:38] LinuxPhreak, but there's no tutorial on how to do it with flash, it's not so easy :( [01:38] opensuse has this http://en.opensuse.org/PowerPC_Flash_Player [01:39] alright awesome, im trying to change my resolution but the video drivers do not save [01:39] thats fine, how do i do that by chance? [01:39] Would anyone mind helping me install 10.04 amd64? Strangely, I got an unrecoverable error when I booted of the disk. The Ubuntu site said if that happens, to load Ubuntu w/o installing, then install from there, but I tried that and all my partition options are greyed out, so I cannot proceed. Is this a common problem? [01:39] forgive me as i am new to linux but liking it [01:40] if i install OpenGEU from http://opengeuwiki-en.intilinux.com/index.php?title=How_to_install_Opengeu_9.10_from_packages that link [01:40] Siegfried: Install OS of choice on Qemu. You will want to add NAT or something so you and openssh. When you get internet and sharing between your computer transfer flash over [01:40] and i dont like it, is it easy to go back? [01:40] !md5sum|Howardtheduck [01:40] Howardtheduck: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:40] Ausylo, It would be in System>Administarion>Startup Disk Creator, then hope that the Store in Reserved Extra Space option isnt greyed out. [01:40] HowardTheDuck: check your download of the iso and the burned disk [01:40] Siegfried: qemu's site is great resource. I don't have virtualizion so I can't use KVM and I run very slow [01:40] i need help deciding which way is better. i can get an internal hd (250gb is the biggest my sys will take) OR i can get an external 1tb drive for around the same price and boot ubuntu from the external and win from the internal i already have---which is the better choice? [01:41] ok thanks i'll check their site [01:41] it's a shame not even flash 9 is included, it was in older versions [01:41] HowardTheDuck Your problem sounds like you are already booted into the cd, am I right? === lvmn00b is now known as LVMn00b [01:41] Zelozelos: well ubuntu takes up a lot less space than windows [01:41] hawkrives: yes [01:42] I'm running off a live session now [01:42] hi guys. is anyone able to assist me with a RAID-1/mirror configuration, please? [01:42] I have 10.04 x86 on my other box and lappy, flawless. Only amd64 is doing this [01:42] HowardTheDuck then do you want Ubuntu to be the only thing on you hard disk? [01:42] No, but I can't even do that if I did. ALL partition table options are greyed. [01:42] I have Win7 on here already. Always best to install Windows before Ubuntu [01:43] Does anyone have any experience using cpufreq? when I run sudo cpufreq-selector -f 26670000. It does not alter the current GHz in cpufreq-info [01:43] HowardTheDuck I was going to try GParted,under System>Admin and wipe the drive with a new partition table. [01:43] HowardTheDuck: can you resize your prtn?? [01:43] acerimmer, well not exactly my q, which would be the best choice-and external 1tb or internal 250 (which is 130 bigger then the one i have? [01:44] urthmover: you might be dealing with a typo. rather use the presets [01:44] HowardTheDuck Ahh. Then lets try GParted and see what happens. You will need to exit the installer first. [01:44] acerimmer: Yeah I guess I could. I have a Gparted cd around here somewhere [01:44] abou [01:44] nope i cant do it [01:44] damn [01:44] Zelozelos: ok. IMHO, larger drives are generally a good thing. external drive install may be more trouble than they're worth, but should be consdiered for backup. IMHO [01:44] I'd rather keep Win 7 though, actually I have to. This is an adobe workstation heh [01:44] HowardTheDuck Gparted is on the Ubuntu Live CD, under System>Administration [01:45] If it will let you change, the we can just resize. [01:45] ok cool [01:45] loading it now [01:45] acerimmer, true, i forgot about the external install issues, and i already do have an external hd for backup... [01:45] i just wanna raise the resolution on a live usb [01:45] but i cant [01:45] HowardTheDuck: you're doing adobe, so i just KNOW you've got a reliable backup system in place. [01:46] ausylo Well, the Restricted Drives tool ought to run on a live USb too.. [01:46] anyone? does anyone know if installing enlightenment will make it difficult to return back to GDM?? [01:46] acerimmer Yeah, but he doesnt want to reinstall adobe. [01:46] acerimmer: Yeah but I'd rather not have to re-install 7. I'd rather not have to do anythign with 7 my gf will be using that lol [01:46] where is that? [01:46] LVMn00b: I'm trying 'sudo cpufreq-selector -g performance' now [01:46] I never enjoyed 7. [01:46] Gparted says no devices detectable [01:46] It's not reading the hard drive [01:46] ausylo System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [01:47] HowardTheDuck Not good. Can Seven still boot? [01:47] HowardTheDuck: understood. depending on the load, win 7 and ubuntu can reside on a 130gb disk, [01:47] HowardTheDuck: you can look at dmesg to see if the hard drive was detected on bootup or plugged in [01:47] 7 boots fine. [01:47] dmeg? [01:48] Q: the only way I have been able to playbacl high def videos (mkv, ...) on my Windows has been through qplayer which is a Chinese player. No other players does it smoothly for those files. I have tried 2 of the players I knew under Linux (default, vlc) and they are both sluggish for those formats. Is there a way to play them well in Ubuntu or I have to wait for my next laptop? Thanks [01:48] I wouldn't think Ubuntu would have a problem reading a WD Caviar [01:48] in a terminal type dmesg HowardTheDuck [01:48] ok [01:48] Hello everyone [01:48] K_Dallas: mplayer possibly [01:48] just to make sure i understand---if i was to install ubuntu on a flash 1. it will run slower 2 it cannot be updated 3 a few other progs will not run correctly ?? [01:48] the output will be long but look in there for sda or whatever your hard disk is assigned [01:49] yowsa taht's a lot of stuff. what am I looking for exactly? [01:49] do any of you seasoned ubuntu users have time for a quick question? [01:49] bastid_raZor, I used it a year ago and it was terribly slow, contrary to what I expected but I give it a try again, thanks [01:49] Zelozelos Are we talking about a USB key or a SSD? [01:49] Lock: sure [01:49] Zelozelos: 1 is true, 2 is false, 3 is maybe [01:49] yo yo yo [01:49] hawkrives, umm idk--which ever is the best case scenario === radar3d is now known as radar3d|AFK [01:49] I recently salvaged an older computer and installed ubuntu on it...I was using the computer for my schoolwork and then all of a sudden this afternoon the motherboard died on me [01:50] Lock: gutted for u [01:50] Lock: niiiice :( [01:50] Lock: ouch. [01:50] Zelozelos Probobly a USB key then. I agree with acerimmer on this. [01:50] Lock: do u have a question? [01:50] K_Dallas: it sounds as if your laptop is lacking in hardware.. mplayer on this box plays mkv's better than anything else === tremmons is now known as iflema [01:50] LVMn00b: no luck 'sudo cpufreq-info' is still showing "current CPU frequency is 800 MHz (asserted by call to hardware)." [01:50] Lock: If the motherboard died I do not think you can retrieve any of the info. Try taking out your HDD? [01:50] well, i took the harddrive out and put it in another semi-newer system and booted from it, but it had trouble with the graphics because of nvidia, and well, this was probably my mistake but i uninstalled the nvidia drivers and now im stuck with only the shell prompt [01:50] lock u sure its the mother board? did you check the power supply? [01:51] man this stinks. I guess it's 9.10 for me [01:51] Lock: what release are you using? [01:51] Reinstall GNOME [01:51] xenon401: shure you can pull the hdd [01:51] urthmover: sorry; I'm not much use then [01:51] 10.04 i think [01:51] HowardTheDuck: have fun' [01:51] its not the newest one, but the version right before it [01:51] HowardTheDuck: ok backup I just got here ... I might be able to help [01:51] gogeta: I meant remove it safely from its connections. [01:51] urthmover: yeah? [01:51] xenon401: lol yea [01:51] Lock: if it's mobo or power supply fail, your data should still be safe. [01:51] HowardTheDuck: describe the current problem again...I saw mention of dual booting [01:51] I was about to try to load the installer for my 32 bit version, see if that reads my hd [01:51] Lock: 9.10 then. If you can then remove the xorg.conf file if you have one and remove the nvidia driver packages in a root recovery console [01:52] im sure that it is, but now im stuck at the shell prompt, and I am relatively new to linux so the shell is like chinese to me [01:52] Lock: --help [01:52] urthmover: trying to install 10.04 x64, won't read my hard disk apparently. partition manager in the live install and gparted grey out all my options [01:52] currently have Windows 7 on this box [01:52] basically im curious if there is a way that i can restore any kind of graphics driver so that I can access the GUI desktop [01:52] Lock: yea the pc is dead not the hdd putting it inside another pc or even usbing a ide to usb cable to move the data to a neew amchine [01:52] HowardTheDuck: hmm [01:52] --help [01:52] ? [01:53] It will display useful options. [01:53] in the shell propmp lock [01:53] lock in a terminal [01:53] HowardTheDuck: so when you boot a live cd gparted and I guess fdisk -l do not show your hard drive as being recognized at all? [01:53] oh ok [01:53] let me see fdisk -l [01:53] didn't thnk of that [01:53] Is it WinFF that was the program that allows you to convert ogv to other formats [01:53] lock: if you can get the hdd to another drive, you'll want to save the /home directory and all sub and hidden files/folders [01:53] Tell me if that helps at all. [01:53] Lock: cd /etc/X11 && sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup [01:53] fdisk -l did nothing. or at least displayed nothing [01:54] HowardTheDuck: sudo fdisk -l [01:54] same [01:54] sudo gives you root privages. [01:54] HowardTheDuck: you are booted up on the 10.04 amd64 live CD right? [01:54] yeah. [01:54] urthmover: yes sir! [01:54] :) [01:55] HowardTheDuck: try this in a terminal ... dmesg | grep sda [01:55] is there a way to make the dns lookup faster in firefox ? [01:55] LinuxPhreak: its a gui to mencoder etc so yes, there are guides online on how to convert in a command [01:55] Xcell: use dnsmasq [01:55] hi all. when I start ubuntu i don't see the plymouth boot screen, just a blinking cursor. any pointers on what log should I check or config file should I edit? [01:55] k tx [01:55] Xcell: will make all dns faster [01:55] is that an addon ? [01:55] HowardTheDuck: is there any output? [01:56] another night and another troublesome reboot [01:56] again my compiz is chewing around 15-30fps [01:56] no output :( [01:56] hi [01:56] Xcell: you will need to manually set your dns in network manager, set ipv4 to dhcp address only then set the dns to 127.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 [01:56] intead of the expected 150-300 [01:56] okay cool [01:56] ah, ic thanks [01:56] usually compiz --replace --loose-binding helps but not again pfft.. [01:56] Xcell: no, its an ubuntu package. you will be running a local dns service [01:56] gotchya [01:56] HowardTheDuck: try dmesg | grep sd [01:56] it's just not reading my hard drive. I really doubt a WD Caviar 500gb isn't supported, I'm going to burn another iso [01:56] thanks action [01:56] Xcell: firefox needs all the speed it can get [01:57] ya, really [01:57] I had a problem the other day. I got a message when starting my Dell Studio 15 saying: no module found...XE-M01 and PXE:E61 [01:57] HowardTheDuck: we are trying to see if the hard drive is identified during boot up [01:57] so! can 10.04 handle a /boot partition as ext4 w/o any screwing around? [01:57] xenon401: is there a way to revert back to the system state before i uninstalled the graphics drivers? [01:57] Xcell: consider chromium or arora, much faster [01:57] urthmover: nope no output on grep sd either [01:57] I could not get to the GRUB loader so i put in a live cd and reinstalled 10.04 [01:57] HowardTheDuck Try rebooting off this one first. [01:57] aberhow: yeah? [01:57] how to know from which repository a package comes from? [01:57] aberhow: dont see why not [01:57] DId that fix the problem? [01:57] but i use noscript and addblock [01:57] !find libfltk_gl.so [01:57] hawkrives: well its strange, I cannot boot to the installer, gives an unrecoverable error. So Ubuntu.com says if that happens, install from a live session [01:57] nilg: apt-cache policy package [01:57] i hear grub had to have a patch for 9.10 [01:57] Anybody knows if there are any soft to split big archives on few parts ? [01:57] then I get to the partition manager not reading the disk [01:58] Xcell: dont we all [01:58] Hmm how do I use ubottus find feature? [01:58] gogeta: i dont [01:58] and ghosty [01:58] File libfltk_gl.so found in ia32-libs, libfltk1.1, libfltk1.1-dbg, libfltk1.1-dev [01:58] find something.txt [01:58] ActionParsnip: fail adblock flashblock = no annoying ads [01:58] thx mch ActionParsnip [01:58] HowardTheDuck In that case, yeah. You should probably burn another ISO. [01:58] Funny thing is, this live session I'm running now is still faster than what I"m used to. *hugs his new box [01:58] gogeta: i dont mind them at all, so not annoying [01:58] do any ? [01:58] HowardTheDuck wow. [01:58] HowardTheDuck: I reccomend going line by line through 'dmesg' and looking for the hard drive identification [01:59] ActionParsnip: setting ones dns to the local isp's dns works just as well ? [01:59] hi guys. is anyone able to assist me with a RAID-1/mirror configuration, please? [01:59] he left [01:59] i see that.. [01:59] Open DNS is very quick and safe if your looking to improve speed on the internet. [01:59] im looking for a program to write a usb .img file, any suggestions? [01:59] Before I burn a new Iso, I'm booting into the 32 bit version I know works. Then I'll see if it sees my hd. [01:59] !find libosgFX.so [02:00] File libosgFX.so found in libopenscenegraph-dev, libopenscenegraph56 [02:00] brb and thanks a lot for the help guys! [02:00] !img [02:00] justin22885: unetbootin [02:00] sudo reboot [02:00] er sorry [02:00] justin22885: unetbootin [02:00] in xchat, add to favorties does not work in ubuntu [02:00] justin22885: or usb-creator (i think) [02:00] justin22885: unetbootin is easier [02:00] justin22885: or even simply dd [02:00] The fish in gnome panel that used to tell quotes doesn't work for me in 10.04 [02:00] ? [02:01] alket: NOT THE FISH!!! [02:01] is dd installed by default? [02:01] I have a new external usb hard drive which I have partitioned, formatted a couple of the partitions for use with ubuntu. I can mount the partitions where I want just fine with mount, but if I wanted to set things up so the partitions are mounted in the right place automatically when I plug in the disk, what man pages/docs should I be reading? [02:01] I hate the fish!! [02:01] alket, because fortune is not installed [02:01] !fish [02:01] alket, sudo apt-get install fortune [02:01] i should prolly stop doing that [02:01] justin22885: dd is part of the base commands so yes [02:01] Hey when I run "fgrun" I get Segmentation fault. How do I fix it [02:01] lol [02:01] pburt: thank you, how come the ubuntu devs didn't install it and provided gnome fish ? [02:01] bastid_raZor, I tried mplayer and no changes there. I know my laptop is old but it still I get to play 1080p video files nicely under Windows. Is it a question of codec or it is the video drivers for Linux or maybe some other reason? [02:01] ok [02:02] anyone here use cups via cli to print - from elinks or such? [02:02] Purpley: sounds like a bad compile [02:02] LVMn00b: well I'm still stuck with cpufreq-selector insisting on keeping my fancy 2.67GHz running at 800MHz :-( do you have any place that I can look to see why cpufreq-selector isn't implimenting the change? [02:02] alket, the ubuntu devs are sloppy === EntityReborn is now known as Boober [02:02] I am gonna go. Bye [02:02] gogeta, How do i fix it? [02:02] K_Dallas: my best guess would be video drivers aren't up to par. [02:02] pburt: lol [02:02] sudo apt-get leave now [02:03] ok.. dd if=xxx.img of=/dev/sdf [02:03] exit [02:03] thats done, just made a bootable USB image of archlinux [02:04] urthmover: sorry, no. I simply make use of the gnome panel app. it's related to ACPI /APCI (?) [02:04] I'm having three very serious problems after upgrading and I'd love any input: I have a 5,1 Apple Macbook Pro. Before the upgrade these things were not issues: One, My accelerated nvidia driver works exactly every other time I boot my computer. Every other time it tells me it has to work in failsafe mode. Second, when I wake up from sleep/hibernate, my laptop is unable to release its IP Address from my router. Three, Flash performane is te [02:04] rrible. Two simultaneous youtube videos are enough to crash my computer (like, the entire computer freezes and halts). I'm not so worried about the third problem because its probably a result of adobe having their thumb up their bums, but the other problems are rather serious. [02:04] bastid_raZor, I see. So, I don't have that many choices but buying one of those media players (e.g. WD). Any suggestion for that? I saw one which could read ext3 but most probably nit ext4 [02:05] how might i go about reinstalling gnome? [02:05] magn3ts: is this lucid? [02:05] ChogyDan, yes. [02:06] Lock: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:06] I am attempting to use dpkg -i cvoicecontrol. This package depends on libncurses4. I am using 10.04, so I have libncurses5. How can I get cvoicecontrol running? Am I able to install libncurses4 concurrently with curses5? [02:06] anyone viewing Chris Pirillo's live stream? [02:06] Lock: `sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm` or `sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop` . but you'll likely break a lot of dependancies [02:07] re [02:07] Hey when I run "fgrun" I get Segmentation fault. How do I fix it [02:07] is there a way to get the new unity ui? [02:07] yes [02:07] xenon401: URL? [02:07] well, my Lubuntu 32 bit disk couldn't read the hard drive either [02:07] one second... [02:07] I have no idea why [02:08] LVMn00b: ok thanks for the help [02:08] HowardTheDuck Make sure that windows still boots, as of now. [02:08] okay [02:08] Purpley, Segmentation fault is, more or less, the worst thing a program can do. It's likely an issue with fgrun itself, and you should ask on the project's mailing list, or check out the faq [02:08] urthmover: sorry I couldn't be of more assistance [02:08] I'm on my Lubuntu lappy, so I can stay on [02:08] When installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-BIT Edition, I come to the phase of 'getting time from network server', during this phase the bar just loads up to 142% and then my computer freezes [02:08] Any ideas? [02:08] nevermind...I only found blogs [02:08] I like the wanda fish in gnome panel that tells quotes , i want to localize it in my language how can i do it ? [02:09] Dougdoug4, disconnect the network connection for the installation? Perhaps it won't try to get the time then? [02:09] Yeah Windows 7 is loading now. I wonder if 7 has the HD locked or something to where Ubuntu installer can't seei t? [02:09] noric, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO do you know of any gui for fgfs [02:09] I do not think it is gonna be available (the unity UI) until June [02:09] Question : I just would want to know why Gtkpod doesnt detect my ipod touch (3rdgen) but Rythmbox does it out of the box ? I tought gtkpod was 'better' at this no ? [02:09] Purpley, never even heard of fgfs : - D [02:09] xenon401: awww:( i would love to try the dev version:D [02:09] 10.04 is treating me well so far. I love it way better than Win 7. [02:09] noric, Its a flight simulator [02:09] micksrer04: Me too! [02:09] HowardTheDuck: no there is no such thing as that.....the linux kernel should identify all SCSI/IDE devices attached tot he system no matter what is says on the platters [02:09] 7 seems a lot better than XP, but it's still Windows [02:09] Purpley, Oh. one sec [02:09] I would use microsofts but I dont know if wine runs it [02:10] XP is better. and yeah, HowardTheDuck [02:10] xenon401: humm..im a windows dev by study so need win for the visual studio (c# programming) [02:10] When installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-BIT Edition, I come to the phase of 'getting time from network server', during this phase the bar just loads up to 142% and then my computer freezes [02:10] Any ideas? [02:10] Windows is too unsecure [02:10] HowardTheDuck Highly doughtful. Try reburning the ISO and see if that works. Dont know why it would, but I would try it if it were mine. [02:10] Wine? [02:10] Run windows programs through Wine? [02:10] xenon401: not visual studio, i tried it:D as soo as i got it [02:10] Ohh! [02:10] how do I identify my webserver? I'm using mysql but "grep "^User" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" doesn't seem to be working. It keeps returning "grep: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory." [02:10] urthmover: Hrm. I just don't know then. hawkrives I just tried to install from a differnet 32 bit disk that I know works perfectly [02:10] Purpley, try finding a .deb version of the flight sim. That should be pre-tested and not Seg fault [02:10] !gtkpod [02:10] XD [02:10] Purpley, I assume you downloaded the src ? [02:11] I'll try reburning but if my 32 bit version won't read the disk, it's doubtful any will [02:11] iTunes is the only reason I am dualbooting with windows 7. [02:11] Dougdoug4, disconnect the network connection for the installation? Perhaps it won't try to get the time then? [02:11] xenon401: yes wine will allow many if not all the most important windows apps to run on linux without virtualization (except many games) [02:11] noric, What do you mean the src? [02:11] and glitchy... [02:11] Purpley, how did you install the flight simulator? [02:11] urthmover: and unfortunately Quickbooks [02:11] xenon401, I have had luck getting 3D acceleration working in Virtualbox (free version of VMWare). This means I can play quite a few games in the VM. [02:12] xenon401, but not fancy stuff like new RTS or FPS [02:12] Yeah. [02:12] HowardTheDuck: how about going into disk management on win7 and free up some hard drive space and leave it unformatted...then boot the live cd again [02:12] HowardTheDuck Right. And Gparted just said that it couldnt find the disk at all? [02:12] Wine does work fairly well being said Linux is not meant really to run Windows applications.

[02:13] xenon401, I only mention virtualbox, because I have found some things run better emulated than under wine (and vice versa) [02:13] noric, Synaptics Package Manager [02:13] I run BackTrack 4 in Vbox. [02:13] It is quite a good virtualization. [02:13] thats right [02:13] neither gparted or installer read the disk [02:13] xenon401: I find vmware to be more stable especailyl with the network stack [02:14] Purpley, did you install the flightgear package? [02:14] ok. geeze man. let me try to do that in 7. i dont know how though really, never used this OS before [02:14] urthmover: On Linux? I haven't tried that. [02:14] disk management heh [02:14] VirtualBox only Aborted once for me. [02:14] sudo -H does noch change $HOME. Can someone give me a hint? [02:14] Purpley, clarification: there are a few packages, such as fgfs-base, fgfs-atlas, etc, but you need to install "flightgear" to make it work [02:14] looking for someone experienced with dual graphics card setups http://superuser.com/questions/139818/ubuntu-10-04-not-detecting-multiple-monitors thanks [02:14] Purpley, try opening a terminal and executing this as sudo: aptitude install flightgear [02:15] i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo [02:15] any idea how to fix this? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:15] xenon401: yes on linux as the host.....but even a while back running vmware-workstation on a windows host was more reliable and got better performance than an Vbox.....in addition the user interface on vmware is much easier and makes sense to the cludgey vbox one [02:16] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ð?ðð?" 0 0 0 [02:16] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users.

Does the wireless work in ubuntu [02:18] no concentration [02:18] flow2fly, i would reinstall ubuntu at that point [02:19] only 9 here [02:19] :) [02:19] still it is running [02:19] yes [02:19] but you can't reboot [02:19] somebody needs to send me the binary file [02:19] you can't run anything [02:19] flow2fly, hmm [02:19] i know that blendmaster [02:19] !printer [02:19] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[02:20] ? [02:20] ah [02:20] ok. So I have a partition made using ubuntu at install time. One has ubuntu on it. the other doesnt. I want to mount it. How? [02:20] interesting [02:20] flow2fly, at the shell, type "echo $$" [02:21] flow2fly, i really hope that shell is root [02:21] /mnt/file [02:21] Couldnt flow2fly use synaptic to reinstall it? [02:21] 22588 [02:21] hawkrives, no, synaptic uses bash === funkyHat_ is now known as funkyHat [02:21] Ahh. [02:21] xenon401 my mount folder is empty [02:21] yes i tried this before asking here [02:21] ohh [02:21] ChogyDan, yes. [02:21] using synaptic [02:21] ChogyDan, woops, sorry [02:21] ChogyDan, yes. [02:21] onetinsoldier: Actually, i think it's something different. I'm trying to install Nagios and the step I'm at tells me to "Identify Web Server User" and tells me to type in "grep "^User" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf"....

[02:35] wiesshund, I do === Boober is now known as EntityReborn [02:35] Dr_Willis: correct [02:35] Dr_Willis, but he broke dash too, and only has bash atm [02:35] cockatrice: If you don't know what ufw is you don't need to worry about it then :) [02:36] that was my initial problem [02:36] alright. [02:36] but now bash is working again [02:36] wiesshund, I have all kinds of funky compiz effects on too, like the 3d rotating cube desktop... works fine with the mesa drivers [02:36] so just go to whatismyip.com? [02:36] i downloaded it [02:36] I'll just do that, yeah. [02:36] <|shad0w|> ahh yes, because actually changing the shebang in initscripts was too much of a pain and deb/ubu decided to break that mantra ... [02:36] extracted from the deb [02:36] ive got 2d only no 3d functions [02:36] cockatrice: First up, are you trying to connect remotely or from the same LAN as the target box [02:36] wiesshund, what makes you say that? [02:36] hm my bash is bash what did i do wrong? [02:36] hi [02:37] hehehe i love the startheylegger trick [misspelled on purpose] [02:37] you didn't ksh enough Klapo [02:37] cockatrice: If you're connecting remotely and are behind a router/firewall you'll most likely need to set it up to forward port 22 to the right box [02:37] man i just can't get the installer to read my partition. maybe I should try plugging into another SATA port [02:37] I'm gonna make a persintant USB pendrive ubuntu [02:37] fumanchu182: i normaly drink korn [02:37] well for starters the fact no 3d apps will run any longer. they report no 3d accellerator found [02:37] but I don't know what 4GB Casper-RW is [02:37] can you explain this to me please? [02:37] Agu10: a save file normally. [02:38] ok thank you very much guys so far especially blendmaster1024 [02:38] Agu10: or the compressed system file.. depending on what you have done. [02:38] anyway to get xp to recognize a ext4 partition I made a backup partition as ext4 and want to copy stuff to xp? [02:38] hope the rights of the files are correct now [02:38] Dr_Willis, ? can you give me a link that explains? [02:38] CogitoErgoSam: But I don't think I can do that with a dynamic IP T>T [02:38] ok xenon401 [02:38] Agu10: not really.. Ive nust read/made such things on various linux live-usb setups. [02:39] !windows | Guest19614 [02:39] wiesshund, what does glxinfo | head say? [02:39] Guest19614: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [02:39] Dr_Willis, I'm trying to boot my ubuntu from my pendrive. I have 16 GB free [02:39] clone1018: Right-click on the white bar and choose "New." [02:39] Agu10: the pendrivelinux web site gives some details on it. [02:39] now can somebody explain me how to link /bin/sh to /bin/bash TEMPORARILY? [02:39] if every question asked routes to a another channel exactly what is this channel good for? [02:39] CogitoErgoSam: My ISP doesn't support static IP's, there all douchebags. >,< [02:39] Dr_Willis, ok, thanks [02:39] xenon401 I CANNOT delete anything off this partition [02:39] cockatrice: You can use a service like dyndns.org to provide access to a dynamic IP. There are also instructions on their site for installing a daemon on your computer that will update the dyndns.org entry [02:39] Agu10: so whats teh actual problem then? [02:39] *they're [02:39] cockatrice: I use the service myself [02:39] clone1018: it is filed up? [02:39] CogitoErgoSam: :O [02:39] psusi, it says everything is missing [02:40] It has important client data [02:40] CogitoErgoSam: can I use this for other things too, like a webserver!? [02:40] No it has 2GB of 6GB [02:40] clone1018: for this too work, it must have some room. [02:40] we need to create a new primary partition [02:40] cockatrice: Well, you COULD but a residential connection wouldn't likely have much bandwidth for hosting, and your ISP might complain [02:40] Hi, does sshd modify /etc/hosts.deny by itself in order to block attacks? [02:40] wiesshund, you are running 10.04 right? [02:40] isnt there a way to mount it? [02:40] CogitoErgoSam: I love you. [02:41] CogitoErgoSam: Mind if I query? [02:41] Hm? [02:41] Dr_Willis, which one would you choose? 1, 2, 3 or 4 GB Casper ? [02:41] damnit... they keep changing the switch to have glxgears print its fps... maybe they fully removed it this time [02:41] lgc: not that ive seen. [02:41] Agu10: depends on how much save space you need. [02:41] so you are installing a new HDD or mounting only? [02:41] I need as much as possible [02:41] mounting only [02:42] psusi: thers no switch.. it prints the fps by default here. [02:42] psusi, yes [02:42] i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo - any idea how to fix this? [02:42] okay, one second... [02:42] is it gonna use 4 GB of my drive even if I don't download much stuff?, Dr_Willis ? [02:42] secondary HDD? [02:42] yes [02:42] Agu10: it will make a 4gb save file.. so yes. [02:42] okay [02:42] What is the extension of mpeg-2 DVD quality video? .mpeg ? [02:42] cockatrice: If you use dyndns for something like SSH, you'll probably want to change the port to something high instead of the default of 22, in case some script-kiddy out there tries to brute force it [02:42] Dr_Willis, lol... yea, now that I run it it does here too... for a while you had to say -printfps, then glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark === test is now known as Guest76420 [02:42] Agu10: and the installer will take a bit of time to make the 4gb save file also [02:42] Dr_Willis, ok. is it only for config files? user documents? programs? [02:42] CogitoErgoSam: Lawl, script-kiddy. [02:43] CogitoErgoSam: Alright. [02:43] Agu10: all changes go there. its overlaied over the normal installed files. [02:43] Dr_Willis, I'm checking my auth logs and I see someone trying to log in repeatedly with different users, but I also see the same IP address on the auth.log file. [02:43] clone1018: sudo fdisk -l ...note any numbers of second harddisk... like /dev/sdb1, 2 [02:43] Dr_Willis, ehmm. I can still have other stuff in my pendrive? [02:43] Dr_Willis, sorry, I see the address also in /etc/hosts.deny. [02:43] lgc: theres tools out that can auto-block on attacks [02:43] is there a program that can maintain a mirror of part of universe? [02:43] Agu10: if you dont fill it up with a huge save file. yes. [02:43] clone1018: sudo mkdir /media/first [02:44] e.g. these specific packages and their dependencies [02:44] ok xenon401 done [02:44] Dr_Willis, like which one? [02:44] Dr_Willis, and can I put my ubuntu in an NTFS pendrive? or should I format to FAT32 ? [02:44] resizd my 7 disk, going to try to cfdisk make a partition to install ubuntu on [02:44] xenon401: http://pastebin.org/223353 [02:44] Second one is the one I want to mount [02:44] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/partiton_number /media/first -o defaults,umask=0 [02:44] lgc: i dont recall.. If you see the ip getting auto added to hosts.deny then you proberly got one installed. I dont think sshd does it by itself. [02:45] Dr_Willis, that makes sense. Thanks. [02:45] close the spaces...my bad [02:45] Agu10 if your format it to FAT32 the biggest file you can make on it is 4gb which would be a problem for disk images (like what wubu uses) these days [02:45] close what spaces? [02:45] *which [02:46] /dev/partion_number/media/first [02:46] that one ^ [02:46] un214: but can I put ubuntu on my NTFS pendrive then ? or does it have any problems with this filesystem [02:46] man man! cfdisk can't even open the disk drive! [02:46] NTFS or Fat32 ? [02:46] k [02:46] Agu10: you probably want to format it ext3 for install [02:46] Agu10: using a Pendrive? or doing a Full normal install? [02:46] pendrive [02:47] I really don't think it can boot from ntfs on pendrive [02:47] then ls /media/first if it all turned out well [02:47] un214: I want to be able to access my files from windows too [02:47] Agu10: using the usb installer tool or unetbootin - you will use fat32 nomrally on it. [02:47] well.... [02:47] Dr_Willis, ok.. [02:47] can I query you xenon401? [02:47] Agu10: that's a completely differents tory [02:47] sure [02:47] Its getting a bit messy in here [02:47] so Fat32 ? [02:47] Agu10: using the usb installer tool or unetbootin - you will use fat32 nomrally on it. [02:47] Agu10: you're going to have some fun here [02:47] Anyone very familar with Upstart and/or KVM with bridged networking here? I've got a strange issue with my new 10.04 install not responding on it's network interface after boot. If I restart networking then everything works. [02:48] Usb disk creator tool will default to fat32 i belive Agu10 [02:48] that will install but to access your files you're going to have to put your files on the drive rather then in /home [02:48] Dr_Willis, but I can uncheck the option to format [02:48] as /home will be ext2/3 inside disk image [02:48] ;) [02:48] Agu10: so is the pendrive ntfs now then? [02:49] I tried making /home fat32 once and much stuff doesn't like that [02:49] when i use the sort command, 10 will appear as lower than 2. Is there a way around that? [02:49] Dr_Willis, yes, I formatted it recently [02:49] to NTFS [02:49] Agu10: im not even sure the live-cd-setup stuff can work from a NTFS. [02:49] Try it and see. [02:49] un214: I think it might work for USB pendrive [02:49] lol [02:49] un214: fat 32 doesn't support a lot of permissions. [02:49] i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo - any idea how to fix this? [02:49] ok [02:49] it supports almost no permissions === dan512_ is now known as dan512 [02:51] #ubuntu-overflow [02:51] what is the LTS stand for in 10.04LTS [02:51] !lts [02:51] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [02:51] linxeh: it support flags instead: Read only, System file, archive, I forget the other one (hidden?)) [02:51] hidden yeah [02:51] thnax [02:51] not really an alternative :) [02:52] Anyone know how to mount a hard drive via terminal? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:53] clone1018: i suggest usage of mount [02:53] yes. but it didnt work [02:53] clone1018: and there was no error output? [02:53] clone1018: WAIT! Try this: mount /dev/ /mnt/hdb1 [02:54] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [02:54] clone1018: the trickyest part is figuring out the device name. #mount /dev/devname /mountpoint , mountpoint is optional if it is listed in /etc/mtab. [02:54] And I dont know what filesystem it is [02:54] -t [02:54] clone1018: Then it sounds like you don't have a FS on it, or not one that your computer recognizes [02:54] mount is pretty smart about determining which FS you need [02:54] clone1018: why dont you know? [02:54] I got that from a site...hoping it woud help [02:55] sudo fdisk -l to get a listing of your disks [02:55] Displayed help xenon401 [02:55] lol, not again [02:55] klappi I dont see why that matters [02:55] it happens a lot to me too! [02:55] http://pastebin.org/223353 [02:55] It is due to incorrect syntex I believe. [02:55] I need to mount the seond disk [02:56] is there a way to stream video over my network to my playstation3 so I watch downloaded stuff on my TV? [02:56] I have a weird memory problem. On my desktop (which has an x64 processor, if it might mater), ubuntu always seems to use excessive memory, and not know where it is. `sudo htop` says I'm using a little over a gig, but I have almost nothing open [02:56] con-man, yep [02:56] vectorman, can you point me in the right direction? [02:56] con-man, look into ushare +ps3 on google [02:56] clone1018: well if you would now the os it was used with it narrows the possibilies [02:56] vectorman, thanks [02:56] clone1018: is the disk in question formatted yet? [02:56] I got my xbox 360 working pretty well with uShare, and it's the same process I believe [02:56] Its not something on the install, I think. I have an install on a portable hard drive, which works fine on other computers but not this one [02:56] I was just watching a video and would like to know how to save it. Usually it is temporarily found in /tmp but I realised that there are more and more videos which are not placed there. [02:57] myrl: to answer your question in -ops. depends what you mean exactly. Did you want to know about becoming an operator in Ubuntu channels or in general on freenode? [02:57] it was parttioned using ubuntu [02:57] partitioned [02:57] during ubuntu install [02:57] in general [02:57] idleone thanks for responding === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [02:57] yes phillipsjk [02:57] My question was, can anyone suggest a good editor with a decent GUI? looking for javascript/html/php editing here [02:58] vectorman gedit [02:58] !info screem [02:58] or kate [02:58] myrl: /mode +o #channel user provided you have been added to the access list. #freenode can probably direct you to more info [02:58] vectorman: Emacs and vim have GUIs, what more do you want? [02:58] * psusi goes back to beating defrag into shape [02:58] idleone thanks you [02:58] idleone *thank you [02:59] myr0: no prblem [02:59] myrl: ^^ [02:59] vectorman: Gedit has a lot of plugins that can help improve the scripting experience [02:59] phillipsjk, in particular the option to screw about with the color scheme. [02:59] idleone :) [02:59] vectorman: my suggestion would be screem, but ubottu isn't working too well right now [02:59] Package screem does not exist in lucid [02:59] vectorman: Gedit has a bunch of built-in color themes already, or you can customize it [03:00] anyone have ANY ideas about my mounting issue [03:00] vectorman: any special feature you want to have? the list of editors is endless [03:00] vectorman: Emacs has a "global font lock" that does syntax highlighting, but I never figured out how to tweak it. [03:00] clone1018: what exactly is your issue? [03:01] I need to mount /dev/sdb to /backups/ [03:01] and I dont know what filesystem it is [03:01] where is /backups created [03:01] clone1018: i dont think sdb is the right device use fdisk -l to list the partitions on sdb [03:02] klappi http://pastebin.org/223353 [03:02] I am trying to install a DVD drive, but Ubuntu does not seem to auto recognize it. Any links on how to do so?\ [03:02] nice catch klappi. [03:02] kubian /backups/ [03:02] clone1018: i think you want to mount /dev/sdb1 [03:02] clone1018: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /backups should do it [03:03] clone1018: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /backups [03:03] my visual effect not iactive [03:03] THANK YOU [03:03] Thanks man [03:03] So much :D [03:03] clone1018: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:03] my visual effect not active .why? [03:03] sorry FloodBot3 [03:04] clone1018: FloodBot3 is a program [03:04] * phillipsjk gathers clone1018's problem is now solved. [03:04] Dede_one, a) you don;t have the correct display driver or b) you haven't installed compiz [03:04] I know :P [03:04] So I upgraded to 10.04 but I can't boot even in recovery mode [03:04] so I use ushare and type the following: ushare -n connor-linux -i eth1 -c /media/roflcopter/videos/ [03:04] any recommendations on where to start [03:04] but it says eth0 is down [03:05] but I told it to use eth1 [03:05] pantsd, Live CD... so what errors you got ? [03:06] wildbat_laptop: well the last line of text output is eucalyptus-network(lo) main process (842) killed by term signal === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:08] pantsd, may be someone will know if you pastebin your dmesg in your hard drive after you mount the drive in liveCD boot. [03:08] i need help reloading the drivers for the touchpad on my toshiba satellite laptop, im running 9.10 [03:09] wildbat_laptop: shiney. Where does it drop the dmsg buffer to for failed boots? [03:09] Is there an official site for Ubuntu Remix. I can find the ones for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc... but there doesn't seem to be one for Ubuntu Remix? I would like to send it to a friend to see. [03:09] Realmkeeper, huh? WHAT Ubuntu remix? [03:10] psusi: the netbook version of Ubuntu. [03:10] <^aman^> #wikipedia-zh [03:10] pantsd, Had the same problem with upgrading...Did a clean install and all fine [03:10] Realmkeeper, a quick google of "ubuntu netbook remix" brings it right up [03:10] pantsd, /var/log/ but if you mount your drive it will be like /mnt/mydrive/var/log [03:11] pantsd: the /var/log/dmesg file is updated on boot [03:11] I made a .sh shell script on the desktop, first line is "#!/bin/sh" too, but when I double-click it just opens it in the text editor when I want it to execute. how to do that? [03:11] Nautilus: chmod+x the file [03:11] Nautilus, chmod a+x [03:11] oh [03:11] How do I enable ssh on ubuntu? It says the connection is refused [03:11] psusi: that seemed to only bring up ubuntu-rescue-remix.org, not what I want. And, for the remix, only the download page. [03:11] My ip isnt in hots.deny [03:12] Purpley, install open-sshd [03:12] does anybody know how to reload drivers for a laptop touchpad on 9.10 [03:12] Realmkeeper, third link down: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr [03:13] wildbat_laptop, Thats not a package name [03:13] Purpley, grrrr openssh-server my bad [03:13] Anyone able to get the supposedly fixed fglrx drivers to install on 10.04 ? No the opensource included driver doesnt work [03:13] Purply something like $"sudo apt-get install openssh-server" (fund with "james@test:~/Desktop$ apt-cache search sshd" [03:13] psusi: yes, I saw that link. But, all the info (well screen shots) are of the old version. So seems that site is not up to date. === blendmaster1024 is now known as PigeonCluster [03:14] hi [03:14] hmm my /var/log/dmesg seems to be from 04-30 [03:14] How can I sort per a given column? [03:14] it's a time for me to day goodbye [03:15] I already put my ubuntu into my usb strick, but now how do I set my BIOS to boot from there? [03:15] I have a new ASUS motherboard [03:15] * [manas] is away: I'm busy [03:15] !UNR | Agu10 [03:15] pantsd, that's didn't llok right unless your computer clock is off ~ [03:15] Agu10: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [03:16] THat link is for the UNR but it does cover booting from USB [03:16] might help [03:16] Is there a link somewhere with tips on strengthing my ssh server? [03:16] doesn't seem to be [03:16] wildbat_laptop: my syslog is more recent [03:16] agu10 you usually have to press a specific key combination on bott to get the BIOS menu. it varies (F10, DEL, Alt-F1) [03:16] *boot [03:16] :-( [03:16] Purpley: Change the port to something besides 22. That's the biggest thing. Second thing to do is switch from password authentication to using private keys [03:16] Purpley: RSA host keys [03:17] look at this: < [03:17] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbGmrMN3saE&feature=related [03:17] CogitoErgoSam, That means I have to transfer a certificate to the machine to connect right? [03:17] sorry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RjMSWhGWak&feature=fvw [03:17] Purpley: Yeah, you'd generate a key on a client and then put it in the right spot on the host [03:18] CogitoErgoSam, It there a link you can supply that describes it in greater detail? [03:18] PUrpley: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [03:18] Thanks CogitoErgoSam! [03:18] * phillipsjk remember he has an ASUS MB manual laying around (probably not the same model) [03:19] hey guys... I need your opinion [03:19] Ok I guess I need to put a 'sudo' in my script, but I also want to pass in the password. I see the -p option but that changes the prompt, doesnt let me put password there [03:19] psusi: kubuntu.org for kde, edubuntu for educational, lubuntu for LXDE, but there is no well presented and up-to-date site I could for for Ubuntu Remix... pitty. [03:19] should i load my Iptables rules via script (easier to read) [03:19] or load my rules in and save it [03:19] Purpley: No prob. SSH is a great service to set up and get familiar with; makes remote connections so much easier and more secure. Especially since you can tunnel all sorts of traffic through it. [03:20] CogitoErgoSam, I know, I love ssh but I always love taking everything to the next step per se === shadowmaster is now known as shadowm_BOFH [03:21] Purpley: Okay then yeah, doing keys and using ssh to tunnel other traffic is a great technique to learn [03:21] Does anyone know the package name for the crappy games that come with ubuntu? I'd like to remove them [03:21] Agu10 for my ASUS MB you press the key during the POST. [03:21] Hello everyone [03:21] Purpley: You can even forward an X session over ssh with the -X parameter, or use VNC over the encrypted connection [03:21] So far, I really like Ubuntu, been using it for quite some time [03:22] CogitoErgoSam, Sadly I dont think I can use the keys :( Im trying to access it from a phone haha [03:22] CogitoErgoSam, Would you do something like xinit over a ssh connection? [03:22] Purpley: Heh which one? I have gnupgp on my iphone, but then again its also jailbroken [03:22] CogitoErgoSam, Motorola Droid running Android 2.01 :/ [03:23] Purpley: Depends if you want do use an existing session or not, and if you have to worry about the host being unlocked or not while you're logged in [03:23] * phillipsjk uses the compression option as well: ssh -XC host [03:23] I love taking advantage of my phones features [03:23] pantsd, may be you could copy what on your screen my hand, you hang be4 dmesg then [03:23] is there a way to pass a password to sudo? To eliminate the password prompt [03:23] However, there is just one feature that doesn't seem to be implemented, one that openSUSE has. With OpenSUSE, I get immediate firewall notifications (a box pops up and asks me what I would like to do) How can this be done in Ubuntu [03:23] Purpley: The easiest technique is to control the default :0 session but that also means if anyone sits down in front of the computer they'll see the session too [03:24] CogitoErgoSam, Any documentation you can provide on vnc through ssh servers and that stuff [03:24] Purpley: You bet; one sec [03:24] CogitoErgoSam, Thanks [03:24] Purpley: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc [03:25] I prefer x11vnc, its flexible and plays nice with both local and remote connections, and with SSH port forwarding [03:25] Hi, where can I find documentation on preseed?

[03:29] wildbat_laptop: trying to change to www-root which I'm a member of [03:29] wildc4rd: sorry [03:29] derenrich: I believe that restarts the computer. [03:30] Does anyone know why I can't mount my flash drive? [03:30] Or, at least, why it isn't happening automatically?

[03:33] spasticteapot: try formatting if u can [03:33] Purpley: What you'd do is run whatever vnc hosting service like x11vnc on the host and set it to only broadcast locally, then when you SSH in you'd forward port 5900 [03:33] wildbat_laptop: which is why I never see the sudo prompt [03:34] Purpley: One sec I'll find a link [03:34] hello everyone [03:34] wildbat_laptop: I typed up the output to screen its @ http://pastebin.com/DmPKe8ed [03:34] uberlube: greetings [03:34] Nanashi: Check out Unison: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/unison.htm [03:34] acerimmer: The flash drive is full of things I want to get off the flash drive.

Each time I boot and the desktop loads, I get a dialog prompting me for my keyring password. The wireless is already connected so I know it isn't that requesting the keyring access. Is there a way for me to easily determine what is requesting access to the keyring?

Then you'd use SSH to forward the port and it would be available remotely [03:38] hi, i am trying to install off a cd with wine but ubuntu won't allow the setup program to run...i tried to set permissions to allow executing but because it's on a cd it won't work [03:39] just installed ubuntu on my laptop and can't find any wireless networks, some help please? [03:39] I'm really confused ... I'm on Jaunty, and in totem video also has sound. But in VLC I have no sound. So I opened Sound prefs, and when I tested *sound capture* I heard the sound from VLC! wtf? How do I get VLC to play the sound correctly? [03:39] pantsd, hmm no idea ~ didn't you crash on upgrade? [03:39] BKTech86 what wifi card? [03:39] wildbat_laptop: hrm, how do I do that? I made a desktop shortcut to the file but can't edit the target line in properties? [03:40] BKTech86: are you trying to connect to your own modem, or other? [03:40] yo [03:40] how do I determine what is trying to access my keyring? [03:40] overwhelmed with questions i am sure, but can someone help me mount a drive that was unmounted with -l (lazy) and seems to be stuck in busy mode now. [03:40] wildbat_laptop: Well the upgrade finished but after that the reboot failed [03:40] Nautilus, in the command just gksu yourscript.sh [03:41] node357: I ran into that same problem. It is due to the Ubuntu Permission policy. About a week ago maco said he would poke the developers to see how much work it would take to add umask suport to the iso9660 filesystem.

It's grayed out in properties [03:42] unkmar: landscape-sysinfo [03:42] node357: That may go aginst Wine policy: Wine has a policy of not circumventing "copy protection." [03:42] is there a way to re-listen to the output of a process in terminal? [03:42] pantsd, nothing that i know of ~ ask again here with the links see if anyone can help ~ srry [03:43] phillipsjk, it's okay.. i don't think this software has copy protection [03:43] mickster04: listen to the output in multiple places? tee [03:43] node357: what happens when you wine the executable? [03:43] unkmar: well it was running, then ssh kinda died so i restarted it, but the output is no longer showing? [03:44] ChogyDan, "The file '/media/HALO/Setup.Exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit." [03:44] damn wrong button >.<~ [03:44] wildbat: thanks :) [03:44] Nautilus, i miss your lines..... [03:44] mickster04: oh, ouch. good reason to use screen. That way you could have just reattached. [03:44] maco: of course, I was getting doubts about my reading of the mount manpage becuase I just skimmed it, and the man page is not always kept up to date anyway :P [03:44] wildbat: thanks for asking. --- the "Link Target" is the command? It's grayed out in properties [03:44] unkmar: yeah i know that, but i have the pid, can't i just join it? [03:46] i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo - any idea how to fix this? [03:46] Nautilus, Link Target? you on gnome? ~ just right click desktop and then Create Launcher~ [03:46] 'sudo scp video1.mpg mcl0vin@192.168.1.104 <---whats wrong in this command, it's not working for me [03:46] wildbat: oh! Made the shortcut the wrong way [03:47] mcl0vin: You need a ':' after the hostname (and a path if you don't want video1.mpg to be copied to your home directory) [03:47] mcl0vin: Oh, and you probably don't need sudo. [03:47] Heyos, I'm having difficulty getting my desktop to start after upgrading to 10.04 . I can start with init=/bin/sh but otherwise I can't get anything up. What it says just before failing is at http://pastebin.com/DmPKe8ed [03:47] anyone know how to get MKV files to work on a ps3, I don't really want to convert 500 gigs of video files [03:47] this is with ushare [03:47] in linux [03:47] btw [03:47] in case you figure i am off-topic === gospch_ is now known as gospch [03:48] mcl0vin: So something like "scp video1.mpg mcl0vin@192.168.1.104:Videos/" [03:48] wildbat: thanks a ton! I now have my new folder! [03:48] Where are the network-manager logs? [03:48] wildbat: that one was just a test, wanted to automate it and thats where I got hung up [03:49] Nautilus, yw ^^ [03:49] hey all [03:50] Jordan_U: thank you [03:50] wats with flight gear heating up my comp [03:50] I'm trying to use network manager to connect to a vpn. It doesn't appear to be working, but it's giving me exactly *zero* feedback on what's going on. Are there logs for it somewhere? [03:50] ive uninstalled it 2wice [03:50] unkmar: You're welcome. [03:50] and i was on here yesterday [03:50] wildbat: augh, now the folder is locked and I can't create folders inside it (manually) [03:50] c_wraith: What kind of vpn? You need to install different addons and then restart [03:51] and i wanted to change a movie from avi to dvd and i wanted to burn it to a dvd [03:51] help [03:51] wildbat: I chown'd it to www-data but I'm in that group [03:51] how can I verify that my local apt-proxy is working correctly? -- if I go to localhost:9999 it says: "ERROR 403 - too few slashes in URI /" [03:51] c_wraith: For example if you want to connect to a PPTP vpn, you'd need to "sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp" [03:51] CogitoErgoSam: pptp. I installed the addon for it, logged out and back in. But my real complaint is that it's giving me zero feedback. [03:52] Nautilus, did you give the folder a groups r_x ? [03:52] Anyone know how to make Rsync include folders? [03:52] michael1982: I use avidemux to hack away at videos [03:52] ok [03:52] Oooookay. So my lucid installation sometimes boots to the gui-based login screen just fine, but other times it takes me to the terminal-based login screen. Upon login via the terminal, the desktop never initiates. I've figured out that it alternates (the first time I boot, it loads terminal-based login; press ctrl+alt+delete to restart and now it loads gui-based login; rinse and repeat.) [03:52] how can i download it [03:52] wildbat: its 755, if thats what you mean. If that's an actual group I dont think so. [03:52] does any one know how to make online videos that use microsoft media server plugin work on karmic? [03:53] Nanashi: do you me subfolders of a folder? -r or -R not sure which. for recursive. [03:53] c_wraith: I agree that its one of the less documented options and does have terrible feedback. But you'll probably have to restart the box completely [03:53] Nanashi, -r [03:53] unkmar: <3 [03:53] c_wraith: It doesn't seem to detect it with only a session restart [03:53] CogitoErgoSam: ok, I'll try that.

[04:11] Gadu : yes firefox was closed [04:11] i did do-release-upgrade on my server an the session died half way thru, the proccess is still running but i can;t interact? can i fix this without breakiung the update [04:11] Yellowzinha: u asked for prtgese? [04:12] avogel try "mount -o remount /dev/device" [04:12] no.. for wedownloader [04:12] web* [04:12] mikelifeguard: try "locate cron" only, much bigger list! [04:12] i dont know how to use [04:13] driver installation failed :( [04:13] maybe i needed to restart after initial update after ubuntu installation? [04:13] BKTech86: probably so [04:13] ok ill try it [04:14] mickster04: Was it still downloading? [04:14] greezmunkey: but still no user crontabs, just system ones like cron.daily/* [04:14] niahanth: You might try http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation [04:15] Jordan_U how do you use vlc to play an online video that uses microsoft media player plugin [04:15] why do I get : whatever "is not available for this type of computer (i386)." [04:15] with many programs [04:15] nishanth: I don't know [04:15] BPower: I feel your pain. [04:16] Agu10: Could you give a specific example? [04:16] Agu10: Are you trying to install 64bit versions of something on a non 64 bit computer? [04:16] how can i setup the time in a remote box [04:16] I have done that! 64 bit doesn't work on 32 bit computer [04:16] Agu10: i368, i486, i586, etc are processors ranging from older to newer, some programs don't support the older i386 platform [04:16] Does anyone know how to make microsoft media server plugin work on karmic? [04:16] Agu10, thanks for your help, good luck [04:16] mcl0vin: set the clock on UTC [04:17] Gadu: I'm using an i7... [04:17] bye everbody! ;) thanks [04:17] unkmar, Are you having the same problems? [04:17] acerimmer: from CLI [04:17] Agu10: your computer seems to think you're using an i386 =P [04:17] Gadu: running this ubuntu in a pendrive [04:17] mcl0vin: add. don't know then. [04:17] Gadu: from an usb stick [04:17] mikelifeguard: cron searches its spool area (/var/spool/cron/crontabs) for crontab files (which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd) [04:17] Gadu: then how can I set it up right? [04:18] greezmunkey: aha! thanks! [04:18] Does anyone have "boot error" when trying to use a flash boot drive?? [04:18] mikelifeguard: man cron, 1st page :) [04:18] mike723: no, usb-stick ? [04:18] mike723, your pen drive don't have mbr [04:18] mikelifeguard: now you have me curious too! [04:18] yes [04:18] Agu10: you may need to install it for real... unless you have enough space on that thing to do full updates (after re-enabling some disabled update repositories) which might help [04:18] !who | mike723 [04:18] mike723: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:19] Gadu: I have 10 GB free [04:19] ok [04:19] i did do-release-upgrade on my server an the session died half way thru, the proccess is still running but i can;t interact? can i fix this without breakiung the update [04:19] Gadu: what should I do? [04:19] mike723: how did you set it up ? unetbootin ? pendrivelinux ? [04:19] greezmunkey: I ask because I want to make sure they're tracked in version control :) [04:19] does anyone know how to find the url of a video? [04:19] wildbat yes [04:19] is VMWARE free for linux ?? [04:19] Agu10: System > Admin > Software Sources [04:19] nishanth: like youtube ? [04:20] Agu10: vbox is [04:20] Agu10: did you choose the architecture for the repository? are you using the i3896 version of the OS or AMD64? some binary-only things don't have source-code, so can't be re-compilted for the other arhitecture. [04:20] Agu10: try VirtualBox (free for all platforms) [04:20] DasEi ; not just youtube any URL [04:20] Gadu: which one is the best virtual machine software? [04:20] nishanth: try https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1879/ [04:20] Gadu: i386 is just the "lowest common denominator" that is compatible with every computer. [04:20] !best | Agu10 [04:20] Agu10: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:20] Agu10: I use Virtualbox [04:20] mikelifeguard: yeah, that's a pretty special directory, have to be sudo just to get in there. [04:21] nishanth: you can have a plugin for ff that allows you or simply monitor network-traffic and selectmanually [04:21] agu10: http://downloads.vmware.com/d/details/player_301/ZGp0YmQqdGViZGR3Kg== [04:21] ok [04:21] Gadu: what should I do in Software Sources ??? [04:21] phillipsjk: whatever he's trying to do is not compatible with i386 machines and is claiming his is such (he has an i7) [04:21] Agu10: vbox is working fine for me. I haven't read teh manual yet and I'm far from a geeky, but even I could figure it out. [04:21] DasEi wat plugin? [04:21] My sound is randomly not working. Is there anyway I can reset it? [04:21] DasEi: Greetings [04:21] nishanth: videodownload helper [04:21] Agu10: make sure the first 4 are checked and click close then reload [04:21] any way* [04:22] BPower: i have a system with 4 monitors. When booting, it only gives 2. After a gdm restart I have all 4. [04:22] xorg.conf is configured to use all 4. [04:22] err that came out wrong: the "i386" architecture is is probably compiled for at least a 486. [04:22] yeah === johnturek is now known as jturek [04:22] h00k: :-Dnice, goto reboot to the said sys, brb [04:22] Gadu --^ [04:22] exit [04:22] quit [04:23] Silmara this is the support channel [04:23] to ubuntu [04:23] when I use the file browser and right click to make a folder, it gets 755 permissions, yes? Where does the default come from, and how to decide if I want to change it? [04:23] unkmar, Strange. I have 2 monitors and i've noticed that when it happens when just one monitor is being used. [04:23] nice - fast ubuntu mirror: http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu-releases/10.04 [04:23] I've used macchanger to change my mac address, is there anyway I can locally restore to the old one (without rebooting the computer)? [04:23] i386 means "32 bit 8086 compatible" [04:23] but is vmware free for linux or not? [04:23] Agu10: no idea [04:23] ok [04:23] Anyone know how I can re-initiate whatever it is that makes my sound work? [04:23] Agu10: if it's not free for the rest, I doubt it'd be free for linux. just try VirtualBox [04:24] wireless driver still failed to activate, but then it said it could make a connection ( ??) but i can't access the web anyway [04:24] Gadu: I'm downloading it [04:24] Gadu: There is a VMWare player that is highly featured now and even allows you to create your own VMs [04:24] how can I change environment variables for apps launched from the gnome panel? [04:24] do I need to use /etc/profile or is there a per user script I can modify? [04:24] Nautilus, not sure about gnome ~ for shell that what umask for [04:25] Jon ? [04:25] x [04:25] anyone know of a way to set rsync to automatically run every certain amount of time? [04:25] Agu10: From http://www.vmware.com/products/player/faqs.html VMware Player is software that enables users to easily create and run virtual machines on a Windows or Linux PC. VMware Player now creates virtual machines in addition to running virtual machines created by VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion, VMware Server, or VMware ESX and supports Microsoft virtual machines and Symantec LiveState... [04:25] ...Recovery disk formats. [04:25] Jon--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:25] Nanashi, crontab [04:25] ampex: if you have a command to execute the program the way you wish, modify the launcher to use the command instead. [04:25] Agu10 what version of Ubuntu did you boot: i386 or amd64? som binaries may not support amd64, but I am under the impression they are supposed to be able to co-exist if the 32-bit libraries are installed. [04:25] BPower: I think I am using TwinView for both video cards. (and xinerama to tie the 2 cards together?) [04:26] BPower, I'm just using one card and it's on nVidia [04:26] Agu10: Try both, pick the one you prefer. I have used both, but it should be noted I have not tried VMWare Player on Linux. [04:26] ok, thanks [04:26] Gadu: what if I want to make a certain environment variable available to multiple gnome launchers? [04:26] I've used macchanger to change my mac address, is there anyway I can locally restore to the old one (without rebooting the computer)? [04:26] hi I'm having trouble with filenames including foreign characters not being recognized "file or folder does not exist" [04:26] if i have an active wirelss connection but still cant access the internet, what could be the problem? [04:26] phillipsjk: I don't know... I have an i7, but my image is amd32 I think [04:26] :S [04:27] but it was the only choice [04:27] Or find out what my hardware mac is, the one that is not influenced by macchanger (software)? [04:27] I chose 32 bits, just that ¬¬ [04:27] Nanashi: several ways. man cron. man watch. Nanashi how often are you wanting and do you want it in the background, do you want it to run even after reboots? [04:27] how can I rename a file that is not recognized correctly to begin with? [04:27] ampex: modify each launcher? =P don't know of another way for you but someone else might [04:27] I need help please: Knetwork manager suddenly stoped working in my kubuntu laptop. I give thanks I have another laptop... whats going on? [04:28] user_: how do you mean "not recognized correctly"? and Right Click > Rename resulted in? [04:28] unkmar: once a day at most, it would be nice to run in the background and yes, I would like it to stay even after reboots [04:28] heyyas [04:28] Nanashi: man crontab. you will want to create a script that sits in cron.daily. but you will want to test it in cron.hourly or something like that. [04:29] HAHA ... guess it helps if your speakers are not turned all the way down. [04:29] unkmar: kk, thanks [04:29] user_: do you know how to find the file? [04:29] Gadu: after attempt Error - Plasma Workspace The file or folder /filename/here does not exist. [04:29] so how do i work this [04:29] can i get some help [04:29] please [04:30] I need help please: Knetwork manager suddenly stoped working in my kubuntu laptop. I give thanks I have another laptop... whats going on? [04:30] !ask|michael1982 [04:30] Hi, Is there anyway to see what process are loading, while booting ubuntu 10.4, it just has the flashing bar. [04:30] i've shut down my printer , connected via cups-samba by error, and now i ve got a message that my printer may be not connected, and it doesn't work, but it does work from other computer in the house ? [04:30] lokie538: there's a setting for verbose boot mode - a grub configuration iirc [04:30] user_: and how about `mv /path/to/file/name /path/to/file/newname` ? [04:31] on how to use avidemux i need help [04:31] unkmar: it is visible on desktop, but filename includes that character that looks like a question mark in a box. cannot delete or rename [04:31] anyone [04:31] : cheers ill have a look [04:31] lokie538: /etc/default/grub, remove "quiet" from boot params, and then run "sudo update-grub" [04:31] must i delete it, and reinstall ? [04:31] It's weird ive tried a few times and it just sits there loading and i turn it off after about 5 minutes [04:31] is the issue as simple as adding that language support through synaptic? [04:31] user_: so you can see the file from cli and it has other characters so that you can pinpoint that file using ls and grep? [04:32] michael1982: howto guides are a better source of info for you mate. google is your friend. [04:32] ok [04:32] thamks [04:32] user_: such as: ls ~/Desktop | grep part-of-filename [04:32] lokie538: try booting in recovery mode [04:32] lokie538: this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:33] user_: mv `ls ~/Desktop | grep part-of-filename` newname [04:33] What is the function of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring (in contrast to ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user/keystore)? [04:33] user_: wait. [04:33] unkmar: not sure I understand. when I move to Desktop and ls I can see the filename in red text [04:33] user_: mv "`ls ~/Desktop | grep part-of-filename`" newname [04:34] generally you don't want to rely on ls to pipe data to things like grep; "find" works better and has more options for filtering and executing commands on the results [04:34] h00k: http://paste.ubuntu.com/432014/ [04:34] user_: I think there is also a way to rename a file based on inode. but that is beyond my brain power. [04:34] Cheers i'll have a look [04:34] lokie538: better source http://grub.enbug.org/Manual [04:35] DasEi: hangon [04:35] h00k: sure, quite a little novel [04:36] YEs you can remove a file based on inode; use "find", it has a parameter to find by inode [04:36] avogel: did you use the "lazy" unmount option beucas ethe decie was busy; thus would not unmount normally? if that is the case, find out what is keeping the device busy. a common case is having a directory open on the device. [04:36] how come ican establish a connection with my wireless router b ut can't access the internet? [04:36] unkmar: thanks anyway will will try adding in more language support an see [04:37] Here's how to find and delete by inode: "find -inum -delete" [04:37] anyone know how to stop gnome panel from reserving space? [04:37] someone pls help me connect to my wireless [04:37] I don't want it to do that while it isn't full sized =P [04:37] DasEi: so, you can't apt-get -f, [04:38] DasEi: can you dpkg-reconfigure what won't upgrade? [04:38] BKTech86: do you know what type of card? [04:38] yes its a broadcom [04:38] re [04:38] BKTech86: lspci | grep -i broadcom [04:38] BKTech86: your best bet is to find out what your wireless card is exactly and google for ubuntu and the exact device name [04:38] h00k: no for ~f , trying that now [04:38] BKTech86: which version? [04:39] hi [04:39] sometime ago I managed to turn the crash dialog off, how can I turn it back on? === user_ is now known as Rondo [04:39] anyone familiar with configuring serial mice in lucid? yes, i've tried the community help docs, no progress [04:39] unimatrix: hey you and who else were helping me with my problem earlier? about ubuntu not seeing my hard drive during install? === Rondo is now known as Whammo [04:39] BKTech86: bcwm is notorious for being funky. u can get the deb package of their site OR ndiswrapper etc [04:39] anyone know how to find URL of an online video? [04:39] acerimmer: thanks can u help me out with that ? [04:39] BKTech86: in many but not all cases you can solve the problem with: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [04:40] BKTech86: lspci | grep -i broadcom [04:40] unkmar: i think i just used that, btw its a NetXtreme BCM5705 [04:40] BKTech86: w/downloading & installing the deb from broadcom? sure. ndis - sorry no [04:40] nishanth: depend how many layers of obfuscation they hid it under. [04:40] BKTech86: ouch, that won't work for that crad. [04:40] unimatrix: well anyway, i got it working. it's installing now. the problem was my hd was plugged into a SATA 6 port and Ubuntu installer didn't like that [04:40] alright, i have a random question... how do you get custom messages when you open a terminal?

Google Chrome has no ActiveX capabilities on linux that I'm aware of [04:47] compiz keeps crashing when I alt-tab but I'm having trouble producing a crash report [04:47] h00k: it's alright, I'll come up with this some more often or else re-file the bug [04:47] nishanth: I don't even know if chrome has ActiveX on windows for that matter =P [04:47] I just upgraded to 10.04, and the volume icon is missing from the top right menu bar and the sound doesn't work. [04:47] thanks for your vie, h00k [04:47] view* [04:47] Gadu : how do you install IEs4linux? [04:48] nishanth: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation (also I link I gave you earlier --_--) [04:48] when the lid is closed for a while and i open it it's locked, so i wonder if my torrents still download while its locked or do i need to change it? [04:48] ubuntu is locked i mean [04:48] hey i wnat to high security in ubuntu.. how?? [04:49] !ufw [04:49] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.

[04:49] nishanth: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox!

[04:50] shaullx did you not read the paragraph [04:51] kyubutsu: "E: Couldn't find package install.3dm" [04:51] shaullx: for webdev. To continue to develop websites for the messed up masses. [04:51] shaullx: when you NEED ActiveX in linux and mediawrap for firefox doesn't do the trick, IEs4Linux may be the only option.... unless you have a better idea...

[05:43] greezmonkey: It might need drivers if it's not supported in kernel. Sorry don't know much.

[05:44] Rocks installation failed and now I don't have a partition table, help please === growlinux__ is now known as growlinux_ [05:44] greezmunkey, You might be able to get the mic to work but I'm not sure how usb headsets work :) [05:44] CogitoErgoSam, All I can find is 12hr/24hr, time zone, and lat/long. I don't see anywhere to set the date format. [05:44] Fuffy: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, it should definitely be there [05:45] can anyone tell my why with this setup http://paste.ubuntu.com/432040/ my eth1 interface doesn't automatically start? [05:45] edbian: I'll goog around a bit, thanks :) [05:45] dsnyders: the first tab on clock preferences has more formatting options [05:45] yep [05:46] neil_d: are you trying to use network manager? [05:46] wow, i feel dumb now. thank you for your help [05:46] any help with partition tables would be welcome [05:46] greezmunkey: don't know... default 10,04 setup. [05:46] neil_d: type ifconfig in a terminal, see if eth1 exists [05:47] CogitoErgoSam, I have 12/24hr radio buttons, and checkboxes for showing the date and showing the time. === SolarisBoy is now known as lparstat [05:47] CogitoErgoSam, ... as well as show weather and temperature. [05:47] can anyone help with restoring a partition table???? [05:47] greezmunkey: it does.. with a inet6 address. [05:47] dsnyders exactly what are you trying to change? [05:47] why ubuntu, even 10.04, doesnt upgrade to the lastest stable kernel? [05:47] dsnyders I think I might have misinterpreted what you were looking for [05:48] the upgrade process was interrupted. now the computer doesnt boot anymore. what can i do? [05:48] Well, I like my dates in dd-mmm-yyyy format, eg 12-May-2010. I've got a bunch of dates like 09-06-08 [05:48] neil_d: what devices does ifconfig show? lo, eth0, eth1 etc? (don't paste the output of ifconfig here, please) [05:48] can i use Gnome with Ubuntu? [05:48] can i use Gnome with Ubuntu? [05:48] i have the creative xfi xtremegamer and the sound quality is terrible in ubuntu. anything i can do to fix it? [05:49] 5.1 does not seem to work and the audio is scratchy when adjusting the volume [05:49] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2HXzmMWT [05:49] how to fix this warning? '(WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa' anybody? [05:49] k1ll3rx: Ubuntu uses Gnome by default. [05:50] greezmunkey: no I was going to. but I have eth0 :) and lo :) and eth1 (without a inet addresss) :( [05:50] h00k so i can always change the themes,yay [05:50] k1ll3rx: yes [05:51] dsnyders I'm not positive but check the Language control panel and see if switching to a different localization of english reformats it [05:51] dsnyders there are localized versions for UK, ireland, etc [05:51] neil_d: why did you edit /etc/network/interfaces? Did you find that in a howto somewhere? [05:51] dsnyders maybe one of the choices for regions that normally use dd-mm-yyyy will do it for ya [05:52] CogitoErgoSam, no doubt they'd change the measurement system to metric in the bargan. [05:52] hi, I'm trying ubuntu 10 in virtualbox [05:52] dsnyders: I can't really think of any default apps that use measurements like that [05:53] how can i disassociate ark from trying to open .deb packages i want to be able to click on these and install them [05:54] but ark kinda takes over [05:54] hello guys, I want to speed up boot process . how to do that in lucid ubuntu [05:54] dsnyders unless you're looking at stuff like engineering or autocad...but I'd think most of those would be standardized anyway and not rely on system-specific settings [05:54] smartfisher: How long is it taking now? [05:54] 28 sec [05:54] CogitoErgoSam, Sounds like I'm bashing my head against a Gnome design flaw. I should be able to override any locale preferences with ease. [05:54] I installed it in virtualbox and it started up fine but then after installing the virtualbox guest additions, it fails to login with error message "gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256" [05:54] u. [05:54] greezmunkey: fyi.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/432043/ I edited by hand, copied from another format from another computer. [05:54] dsnyders: try grepping through ~/.gconf/ and there might be a setting you can manually change [05:55] anyone good at regex? ~ it is possible to match repeating characters say more then 4 chars of the same letter like aaaaaa, xxxxxx,. ? [05:55] !pm | smartfisher [05:55] smartfisher: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [05:55] neil_d: cool, what's on eth0 - wired connection to your LAN? [05:56] wildbat: THere are other channels for stuff ike that, but you can match any number of repeated characters like this: [a]{7} for 7 of them, or do ranges like [a]{1,3} for 1-3 [05:56] 12.9 here. [05:56] smartfisher: ^ [05:56] wildbat: [a]{4,} will do 4 or more [05:56] im trying to fix the display [05:56] s [05:57] CogitoErgoSam, but that way i am limited to 'a' ~ i wanna match any repeating letter ~ is that possible? [05:57] greezmunkey: eth0 is my lan.. eth1 is a test ltsp network [05:57] wildbat: A decent site for reference is www.regular-expressions.info, or google "regular expression cheat sheet" which should get ya some decent guides that show those shortcuts [05:57] wildbat: #regex [05:57] anyone? [05:57] wildbat: [a-zA-Z]{4,} [05:57] wildbat: Regex has special characters for things like letters, numbers, etc [05:58] POSIX regex has special chars for "letters" [05:58] wildbat: if you use extended regular expressions you can use \w for word characters, or \d for digits instead of manually doing ranges [05:58] MrPancake: anysuggestions ? [05:58] CogitoErgoSam, re: regex, would [A]{,4} match 1,2,3, or 4 As [05:58] tsimpson, that match any word 4+ :< [05:58] gone [05:58] smartfisher: Get an SSD? :-) [05:58] why ubuntu, even 10.04, doesnt upgrade to the lastest stable kernel? [05:58] wildbat: no, it would match any letter repeated 4 times [05:58] dsnyders: to do 1-4 you'd do this: [a]{1,4} [05:58] can somone help me? i dont have sound on youtube videos but i do on media players.? [05:58] MrPancake: what does the SSD mean ? [05:59] neil_d: ok, I get it - so you want to know why it isn't taking the address you've configured? [05:59] tsimpson, let me double check ~ [05:59] Is there any way to "save" a screen session so that after a system restart, it's not lost? [05:59] Icehawk, like a hibernate? [06:00] my system crashes with ubuntu 10.04 when i play a video on any player...but nut if i use a web browser. im using dell latitude d505. hel please [06:00] how do I get to terminal if I can't log in [06:00] tsimpson, nope ~ i match xczxcvxszvs [06:00] can somone help me? i dont have sound on youtube videos but i do on media players.? [06:01] tsimpson, it [06:01] hi! [06:01] dsnyders: Well, kinda... except only for screen. (XBMC isn't working properly, and I'm pretty sure a reboot will fix it, since a process that needs to be running probably crashed) [06:01] Dizz check your plug-ins [06:01] So I don't want *everything* saved, just my screen session [06:01] CavalierPrime: how do i do that? [06:01] MrPancake: I haven't got a SSD driver [06:02] Dizz you running FF? [06:02] yes [06:02] go to Tools menu [06:02] double click on flash player [06:02] to enable [06:02] smartfisher: Solid State Drive [06:02] neil_d: remove the line "auto eth1" from the interfaces file and restart networking, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. [06:02] CavalierPrime: shockwave Flash? [06:03] wildbat: ([a-zA-Z])\1{3,} might work [06:03] yes [06:03] #PlaneShift [06:04] my system crashes with ubuntu 10.04 when i play a video on any player...but nut if i use a web browser. im using dell latitude d505. hel please [06:04] MrPancake: I checked the dmesg and when mount the root file system, it takes about 18 sec === darkdelusions__ is now known as darkdelusions [06:04] grin_dr, ^^ YAY~ thanks ~ didn't know \1 can be use in search too ^^ [06:04] after a pkg is newly installed using dpkg -i will there be a log genereated? and if so where is that log located? [06:04] hmm, wanted to try ubuntu one, entered my email to create an accout and got a warning that someone may be trying to impersonate me ??? [06:04] MrPancake: It shouldn't be so much long [06:04] CavalierPrime: it says its 'in use' [06:04] wildbat, you may need to use grouping of some sort. Nevermind, you just did. [06:05] Dizz give it a go again [06:05] greezmunkey: done! the eth1 disappeared from the output of 'ifconfig' [06:06] Dizz right click on your youtube vid...what does it say? [06:06] CavalierPrime: nope no sound [06:06] neil_d: seriously...you do have a physical interface (of course you do...) [06:06] CavalierPrime: can i pm you? [06:06] sure [06:06] My son has v. 9.04 installed. He had wifi, bcm4312, working for over a year ago. He no longer has a connection, but can use eth1 connection. How can we check to see if the package is still installed? [06:07] greezmunkey: yes.. lspci -- "01:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)" [06:09] youngblood: look in 'synaptic' and see its still selected. [06:09] neil_d: my bad, I gave you bad info, add that line back please :( sorry. [06:10] greezmunkey: restart it? [06:10] neil_d: sudo ifup eth1 should do it. [06:11] greezmunkey: that seemed to work ok. hang on a sec. and I will reboot it. [06:11] neil_d: you don't need to !!! [06:13] greezmunkey: that is working fine... but what was wrong!!! nothing has been changed. [06:13] neil_d, I don't remember the package name. Would you happen to know it/ [06:13] youngblood: no! [06:13] neil_d: what do you mean, ifconfig shows the address now? [06:13] youngblood: You can search packages for parts of the name by doing "dpkg -l | grep " [06:13] neil_d, thanks for your help. [06:14] CogitoErgoSam, thanks [06:14] greezmunkey: it did on the last reboot. [06:14] neil_d: anytime you edit interfaces you need to restart networking for the change to take affect [06:15] neil_d: but you don't have to restart the box, just sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart will do it. [06:15] hmm, i cant install my nvidia driver :-( [06:16] justin22885: whats the problem? [06:16] hey guys, i was wondering if anybody could help...my laptop is no longer getting any input from my touchpad [06:16] REGISTER TEST bennyli1981@hotmail.com [06:16] it's still working fine in windows 7 [06:16] well i did nvidia-xconfig.. and when i did it said i had no displays [06:17] greezmunkey: yes ok, but I just wanted to make sure.. and its not in production computer yet! so it doesn't matter rebooting it. [06:17] morning [06:17] neil_d: same same :) [06:17] Does anyone here know of a channel where I can ask questions about data structures? I'm not having any luck with math, algorithms, computerscience, and was turned down in C++. It's something anyone with a Computer Science degree could probably answer pretty easily [06:17] greezmunkey: thanks for the help.. [06:18] kurtis: maybe ##c [06:18] can anyone help? [06:18] neil_d: Thanks I'll check that out. [06:18] neil_d: you welcome. [06:19] justin22885: try running nvidia-config as root. Sometimes it might not have the permissions to save xorg.conf without it [06:19] anyone happen to know a work around for a machine hanging at "Checking battery state" during upstart? [06:19] looks like this thread [06:19] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474473 [06:19] i did run it as root [06:20] neil_d: I take on the light work around here, the heavy-weights usually don't get involved until I get in over my head, they are not shy about letting me know it either ;) [06:20] What is the function of the file ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring (in contrast to ~/.gnome2/keyrings/user/keystore)? [06:20] I tried Control-Alt-Sysreq-K and it didn't move past it [06:21] hey guys, I'm looking to get the php mail() function working on my local machine to send mail to our internal mail server [06:21] Hey!

But I was luking sumthing which will suggest me coding [06:24] krishno, emacs. Just remember it does everything ever. [06:25] Cudn't understand [06:25] krishno: google turned up suggestions "Quanta" and "Bluefish" - have you tried those? [06:25] edbian: esmacks me upside the head, I'm still trying to figure it out. [06:25] krishno: bluefish is decent [06:25] krishno: http://kompozer.net/download.php [06:25] I still find that gedit runs smoother for me, and there are plugins for it to do remote ftp editing and stuff [06:25] greezmunkey, I don't know how to use it. I just have a vague idea of its' power. [06:26] thank you everyone I'll surely try them out [06:26] Hi! [06:26] !ide | krishno [06:26] krishno: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [06:26] krishno: I like geany. [06:26] edbian: yeah, I've borked a lot of test files, playing with it. [06:26] Thoughout my 5 years at Cal Poly, I've never bothered using much more than gedit.

[06:32] LLStarks: um, bugs against a company? [06:32] yeah [06:32] such as? [06:32] mark not using his billions to advertise ubuntu [06:33] LLStarks: we are their sales team. [06:33] by doing a lil googling seems that bluefish is best [06:33] LLStarks: ibm did that didnt have any impact [06:33] or, investing on how to stop trolls [06:33] Yeah, telling an individual what to do with their personal bank account is a) not a bug, and b) not Canonical's problem. [06:33] any good apps for converting .avi's to a DVD [06:33] and kompozer too [06:33] well...will kompozer run on GNOME?? [06:33] LLStarks: on superbowal ad time [06:33] krishno: Of course it will.

Komodo and the Kernel aren’t KDE applications either."

[06:36] i just want code suggestions that dreamweaver provides me [06:36] Hello. Please help. I keep getting "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server" when trying to open my windows share folders on other XP computers in my home network. Been reading alot about it, but it sounds like I should be able to get in by double clicking on the computers right or is some special set-up necessary? On my 10.04 box I click Places->Network->Windows Network->MSHOME-> and then see the network computers w [06:36] hich are running Windows XP when I double click on one it says Opening for a while then says "Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server". Thank you. [06:36] i just want code suggestions that dreamweaver provides me [06:36] Anyone know where I might look for an upstart workaround? My system is hanging on "Checking Battery State" [06:36] hi all [06:36] so.. any idea how to get my radeon HD4200 card working properly? [06:36] krishno: I was saying that. It depends what functionality exactly you're looking for. By default you can have a file browser open, and if you want to edit files remotely, there are ftp plugins for it [06:37] flyingtortoise: windows firewall blocks samba shars from linux turn it off [06:37] I understande what is LVM [06:37] I have 2 qustions: [06:37] turning off windows firewall won't solve that problem [06:37] 1. is there good program like dd that can take image from system online? [06:37] krishno: In gedit, take a look at preferences, there's a plugin tab [06:37] Radio-l: yea it will it whont connect with it on [06:37] krishno: A bunch come built in that you can enable [06:37] 2. can I use LVM to take snapshoot of incremtal changes?

Now I want is and will suggest me codes [06:38] etc [06:38] thats it [06:38] krishno: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:38] or give a share list [06:38] luks like kompozer and bluefish that you suggested does that [06:38] is there anyway to speed up the boot process ? [06:38] Radio-l: i fought for days with my configs before i figure that out [06:39] krishno: I haven't looked but there's probably one to autocomplete; I'll look [06:39] Its k thank you for the help [06:39] flyingtortoise: did it ever work? [06:39] I'll try both kompozer and bluefish and the gedit plugins as you suggested [06:40] greezmunkey: no, haven't ever got it working, yet [06:40] gogeta2: I've connected to XP machines with it on [06:41] krishno: Here's a page of gedit plugins including 3rd party ones: http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins [06:41] is there any way by which I can export one gnome desktop to another display in Ubuntu? [06:41] kyubutsu r u still here [06:41] flyingtortoise: that means a lot. ok first thing is to make sure all of your winboxes work together, are they all on the same workgroup? [06:42] Thanks a lot [06:42] greezemunkey: yes, MSHOME [06:42] krishno: by having the gedit plugins separate instead of altogether by default it lets people keep it streamlined [06:42] krishno: So it doesn't get bloated for people that don't need or want all the extra stuff [06:42] flyingtortoise: what ubuntu version are you on? [06:42] is there any way by which I can export one gnome desktop to another display in Ubuntu? [06:43] 10.04 [06:43] how to get rid of gedit plugins not used? [06:43] Ok thank you.

[06:45] flyingtortoise: ok, open up Places and find a folder in your home directory, right click on the folder icon, and select "sharing options" check the box, and close out.

[06:53] sjd: There are different apps for different situations [06:53] CogitoErgoSam: not mirroring. but a dual monitor setup [06:53] CogitoErgoSam: I needed to edit a pdf, had adobe standard 6 cd on hand, installed wine and adobe - it worked without a hitch, pretty amazing really. [06:54] can anyone help? [06:54] sjd: they plugged into the same box or different ones [06:54] CogitoErgoSam: I currently have 3 separate gnome desktops, I want to export one of them to another display [06:54] CogitoErgoSam: same computer. [06:54] CogitoErgoSam: not talking about remote desktop === mdel is now known as mdel-away [06:55] Anyone know how to stop empathy from auto scrolling, I'm trying to go up but every time there's a new post it goes back to the bottom again? [06:55] HI, im having some trouble getting update-grub to add my second linux partition to the boot menu (grub.cfg).. [06:55] Currently running a fresh 10.04 install on a macbook pro [06:55] sjd: That's a scenario I'm not too intimately familiar with; my experience is more about remote sessions, forwarding and tunneling over ssh, and using network-based KVM virtualization with synergy [06:56] CogitoErgoSam: this is not a different box even. :) [06:56] flyingtortoise: Use a real IRC client, I would say. [06:57] what ppa is everyine using for the lucid main packages? the one I was using is giving me 404 errors when I attempt to update [06:57] can anyone help? [06:57] red2kic: thanks, what would you suggest? [06:57] sjd: I've never really seen an advantage to my normal routines to having separate x sessions on multiple displays over one that's just extended across the monitors [06:57] flyingtortoise: For beginners, xchat. [06:58] I'm using xchat-gnome myself [06:58] lol for beginners, becuase IRC is such a hard concept. [06:58] sjd: I like being able to drag windows around, and don't really worry about isolating things that might soft lock the x session [06:58] pidgin works for irc too [06:58] CogitoErgoSam: I used to have extended setup. But right now would go for a try. :) [06:59] I was using that too before I realize empathy could do irc, but I guess it's not so great. [06:59] I'm curious, why would you want a more "for pros" client? then again, I havent had a look at plug ins and such [06:59] looks pretty though [06:59] which for pros client? [06:59] zorge: what kind of client are you looking for? irc? xchat is pretty popular around here [06:59] can anyone help? [07:00] !ask | mlourenco [07:00] mlourenco: 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. :-) [07:00] I'm mostly questioning red2kic's comment "xchat is good for begginners" [07:00] pidgin cant be for pros cuz thats what i use [07:00] not sure what the cons are, my irc usage really is only to listen, talk and the odd file transfer [07:00] mlourenco there's also a channel just for bash scripting...#bash [07:01] hmm [07:01] trying to figure out how to configure my network settings through kde [07:01] okay [07:01] What does that mean: mkdir: cannot create directory `~/armagetronad-build': No such file or directory ?? Sure it is not there, I tried to make it? [07:01] flyingtortoise i think empathy is a "more for the future development " app [07:01] flyingtortoise: were you ablt to share a folder in ubuntu? [07:02] * kyubutsu installs lernid [07:02] hmw, cd there and try again, i think the ~ might be throwing it off [07:03] pvl1: interesting... i will try $HOME instead [07:03] greezemunkey: no, sorry if I missed your post before that I had to go check the other computer and the bloody autoscroll wouldn't let me go back [07:03] Zorge: As in... no need to read any manual or documentations to get the setup the way you like it. Everything is on GUI and settings can be done with click, click, click. You want a challenge, try irssi. :3 [07:04] what ppa is everyine using for the lucid main packages? the one I was using is giving me 404 errors when I attempt to update. "Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/lucid/main/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found" [07:04] pvl1: indeed. thanks [07:04] ennui: Try changing to a different server [07:04] hmw, np [07:04] greezemunkey: Is it supposed to work "out of the box" or is it something that needs alot of configuring? [07:04] flyingtortoise: I pm'd the message to you. [07:04] thank you [07:05] greezmunkey: flyingtortoise: smbpasswd perhaps? [07:05] how can i change the font size of google chrome? its too big [07:05] hmw: I was going to see if he could share a folder first, before moving on [07:05] greezwmunkey: not sure where that pm went [07:06] smbpasswd? [07:06] greezmunkey: its just that some tutorials don't told me, that I have to manually do this, when I want to share something within Gnome. That really sucks. [07:06] is there anywhere I can download the old version of ubuntu? [07:06] my bash script does not read the entire command only the first word....please help? [07:06] red2kic: I see, not sure if I want said challenge, things just working is always good [07:06] swpq: try to find a torrent [07:06] swpq: Which version? [07:06] mlourenco, what do u mean [07:07] rww: which versions are still supported? [07:07] mlourenco, try #bash [07:07] swpq which version do you want [07:07] hmw: agreed, but if he has a clean install he should be able to share a folder, unless there is some other underlying network issue. [07:07] Peoples, in how can i install splashy 0.3.13 on my Ubuntu 9.04? [07:07] h00k my problem sloved. :) [07:07] camshron: what versions are still supported? [07:07] swpq: 10.04, 9.10, 9.04, 8.04, and 6.06 (6.06 only on server) [07:08] PHP_Arun, is that the latest version? if not then y that version [07:08] greezmunkey: I disagree. I used plain installs and always got asked for a password on my XP machine, without having a chance, because smbpasswd was missing. Perhaps it's different in Lucid. [07:08] that is the latest version till date pvl1 [07:08] rww: how much longer will 9.10 still be supported? [07:08] swpq i have 8.10 9.04 i might have 8.04 [07:08] swpq: It's not LTS, so 18 months from release, so April 2011. [07:08] PHP_Arun, one sec then [07:08] hi [07:08] pvl1: sure pvl1 [07:09] I have a question [07:09] PHP_Arun, i have splashy comming up in synaptic. did u enable all the repos? [07:09] rww: where can I download a legit safe copy of 9.10? [07:09] swpq: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ [07:09] swpq: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/43867cb4ca70fe94748ec49dbf140222.png [07:09] pvl1: i did enable all the repositories [07:09] is it possible for machine A connect to machine B using ntfs, and then mount a partition using sshfs, connecting B to another machine C === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:09] and access to files in C from A [07:10] Actually one time I did get into the share by using "connect to server" and then typing in the IP of that computer, but it would only let my in certain shared folders and that method didn't work for the other computer [07:10] using ubuntu as B and C machines [07:10] noko: you want to mount s share from C in the NTFS part of B and then access that from A?? [07:10] pvl1 : it shows an error while doing so. " E: /var/cache/apt/archives/splashy_0.3.13-5.1+b1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh', which is also in package lsb-base" [07:11] using this command "modprobe saa7134 card=65 tuner=54" it only loads the module but not with the second half "card=65 tuner=54" [07:11] my ltsp setup the dhcp server for ltsp isn't running :( the dnsmasq executable is there, but I don't think its listening on any ports. [07:11] noko: ntfs isn't a network protocol, its a file system [07:11] noko: i am confused, why you mention NTFS at all. [07:11] PHP_Arun, when u say it, what do u mean? [07:11] not ntfs [07:11] nfs [07:11] typo [07:11] ah [07:11] hi this plugin on ubuntu that is up at the top right of the screen with user name on it that lets you log out/ message etc. well it crashed and i clicked to uninstall it [07:11] I'm an idiot [07:11] noko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:11] but i dont know how to install it back :( [07:11] flyingtortoise: it sounds like you would benefit from installing winbind: sudo apt-get install winbindd [07:11] pvl1 : i mean that i cannont sucessfully complete the installation of the package, as the package quotes to be broken [07:11] * erg0lite Hello.

[07:13] is there a way to update or install all video codecs on ubuntu? [avi,mp4,flv] [07:13] greezemunkey: couldn't find that package [07:13] what's it do?

[07:14] I have a little problem with Kubuntu x64. I have a quad AMD 64 but it has some performance problems with Kubuntu, periodic hangs, firefox is totally unusable... and last but not least, I just can't get to install the nVidia drivers. Can anyone help me please? [07:14] thanks [07:14] wtf netflix doens't work on ubuntu :( [07:15] xpike: install GStreamer ffmpeg plugin [07:15] Semitones: requires active X [07:15] gstreamer? [07:15] from synaptic? [07:15] no just silverlight or smntin [07:15] Hello [07:15] flyingtortoise: try that with winbind (not two d's, I never remember :)) [07:15] Semitones: funny being they port that thing to everything else but linux [07:15] cogitoErgoSam: I tried changing the server in the software sources gui under ubuntu software but I still get the same 404 error [07:15] Semitones, blame netflix. You might be able to run it in a VM, but i know of now way to do it native or with wine. I don't even live where i can get netflix, but i've read quite a bit about it. good luck man. [07:16] I enabled gedit's embedded terminal and it shows up but I can't type anything in it. The window just gives me a white area with a cursor and nothing else. Any ideas? I'm using zsh as my default prompt [07:16] i already have gstreamer [07:16] xpike: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will install almost everything, from video codecs, libdvdcss and flash plugin for firefox, etc [07:16] greezemunkey: sweet, got it, one d [07:16] ty ZykoticK9 [07:16] is there any way i can prevent NetworkManager from asking my password for unlokcing keyring on EVERY STARTUP? it's very irritating! [07:16] I might pull out a vm for this [07:16] ok ill try that hmw [07:17] rohan: It doesn't show the "THis time only" or "Allow forever" buttons? [07:17] CogitoErgoSam: no [07:17] I share my pen drive (4 GB) with my sis's Windows XP pc, which has virus, so after picking it creates some weird random files like new folder .exe drive.exe etc. in my drive, is their any chances of harming my fully Linux pc by those? [07:17] i am just asked my password on every bootup [07:17] Even by online [07:17] xfact, don't run wine on them [07:18] Semitones, Thanks [07:18] but it should be safe to use linux to clean them out [07:18] Bye for now [07:18] xfact: and tell your parents to make you a new sister.. otherwise, you're fine as long as u avoid wine :) [07:18] FiReSTaRT: ! [07:18] greezmunkey: yo? [07:18] FiReSTaRT: new sister :) [07:19] rohan: I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of it but check http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring#Automatic_Unlocking [07:19] FiReSTaRT, ha ha yup or I will launch some AV to her PC [07:19] i lost my sound for some reason, is there a way I can restart alsamixer? [07:19] xfact: and teach her some proper security measures :) [07:19] Hey tried both glassfish and kompozer. Nothing comes even closer to dreamweaver. Luks like I've to use them using Wine :( [07:19] thank you, CogitoErgoSam [07:19] greezmunkey: Installed it, but doesn't seem to help. Unless I need to reboot or restart something. [07:19] FiReSTaRT: that was bad advise. Guess what will happen, when he has two of those virus loving sisters? *smirks* [07:19] rohan: The other alternative is to check /var/log/auth.log and see exactly what process is hitting the auth block and then change its privileges === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [07:20] hmw: but now he has a better idea of what to expect and can participate more in the new sis' upbringing :) [07:20] FiReSTaRT, Soon she may turn Linuxer after taking one internet connection, because Linux without web sucks [07:20] krish: Did you try bluefish? I'm not familiar with glassfish and whether or not its just a version of bluefish [07:21] anyone know of a tool that'll give me a list of install packages sorted by the amount of disk space they're using? [07:21] guys whats the name of that thing on the top right corner that lets you log out/shutdown etc? [07:21] *installed [07:21] i cant figure it out for the life of me [07:21] anyone know a good disk/folder usage analyzer?

[07:32] Fudge: it could be either [07:33] sound goes out randomly [07:33] flash goes out randomly [07:33] wildbat, it wants me to remove frostwire because it depends on sun-java6-jre which doesnt exist [07:33] I only had flash problems with 64 bit and that script fixed it [07:33] figured [07:33] hacker_kid: add Canonical's partner repository and install sun-java6-jre [07:33] does the script work for gentoo or redhat [07:33] its just that im using lucid LTS 64bit and upgrade held back linux-image and 2.6.32-22-generic which i assume is the correct kernel so i installed them with aptitude safeupgrade and im getting segfaults [07:33] not to my knowledge [07:34] rww, its already installed just not through package manager... i just want to override the dependency altogether [07:34] how to download and install googleearth [07:34] rww, plus i would prefer to stick to openjdk (which works) and leave the closed source junk where it belongs [07:34] there is one for fedora and opensuse [07:35] Thanks alot man [07:35] people still use redhat?

[07:36] maybe it's matured [07:36] Ah i see [07:36] Whats the deal with the Software-Center "Featured Applications" button? Is this list generated randomly or whats the reason they are in this list? [07:36] flyingtortoise: it appears the channel bot is down. start typing the name, press the tab key [07:36] the guy who rooted it released a patch to upgrade and keep the option [07:37] flyingtortoise: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [07:46] .flvs dont load and mp4s dont load properly [07:47] I can't write in my usb, even as a root. I try to change the permision with chmod but I get chmod: cambiando los permisos de «WD Passport/»: Sistema de solo lectura [07:47] IpWned: what did you check already? [07:47] does anyone how to change that ? [07:47] Illuminatus: is that in spanish? [07:48] fstab okay [07:48] fsck okay [07:48] I can run the whole format to ext3 procedure and mount it [07:48] but the next time i reboot, [07:48] the box just won't boot to the point where SSH starts [07:49] moetunes: Yes, "changing the permissions of WD Passport: read only device" [07:49] anyone know if ubuntu runs fine on 2.2ghz imac [07:49] oddly enough, this will happen as soon as there is a partition present [07:49] only way to get the box to boot again is to destroy the mbr of sdb using a dd command [07:49] Hello,IamUsingVNCtoConnectToMyLucid.AndAsYouCanSeeSpaceDoesNotWork,IsThisAKnownIssue [07:49] hey guys, my FF doesn't renders lucida grande [07:49] how do I install it? :P [07:50] where could i download ubuntu 10.04 easily [07:50] seems, my OS doesn't has it [07:50] because even CHrome doesn't renders it [07:50] chandrageetha, www.ubuntu.com [07:50] chandrageetha www.ubuntu.com has links [07:51] Hi, I am running 4 pc's on Ubuntu, Is there a way for me to download the upgrade files to a shared/common directory so they can all update by only downloading once? [07:51] RWHR, using aptoncd? [07:51] !aptoncd [07:51] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [07:51] I can't write in my usb, even as a root. I try to change the permision with chmod but I get chmod: cambiando los permisos de «WD Passport/»: Sistema de solo lectura [07:52] bazhang: no, but from the info by ubottu, I think I will have to hunt it down to save 4x900meg downloads :) [07:53] join #ubuntu-es [07:53] has anyone got the HP PhotoSmart b109 working in ubuntu [07:54] bazhang: Looks like a pretty good solution - spot on.. Thanks.. [07:54] pretender2010, checked the linuxprinting.org database yet? [07:55] IpWned: check the logs and/or paste.ubuntu.com fstab, blkid, sudo fdisk -l [07:55] hi, i have 10.4 installed for two days and my screen flickers sometimes randomly. Anyone knows how to fix this annoying flickering? [07:56] Promethes, did you check to make sure you have proprietary drivers enabled if needed [07:56] hmw thank you, i think i have just received an answer in ubu-server [07:56] hy there. When I am trying to mount a unionfs I get a directory wich looks like this: d????????? ? ? ? ? ? data [07:56] CogitoErgoSam_: yes, propertiary driver installed [07:56] IpWned: fine [07:56] Hi guys, where's the www folder for Apache on ubuntu? It doesn't seem to be in etc/apache2/ [07:56] it would seem the remote monkeys plugged the drives in, in the wrong order [07:56] xQuasar: Nor has it ever been. [07:56] /var/www [07:56] www, public_html, htdocs folder [07:56] xQuasar: probably /var/www [07:57] Ok thanks, I'll take a look [07:57] Some systems stash it in /usr/local/www, but... [07:57] anyone? === marcriera is now known as permalac [07:58] xQuasar: /var/www for system wide stuff, ~/public_html/ for userdir [07:58] xQuasar: I can't think of a reason for it to be in /etc/apache2/ ever, which distro was that? [07:58] Startup manager on my desktop has an option to "limit the number of kernels in the boot menu", yet on my laptop, this option is not available even though I'm sunning the most up to date version? [07:59] desktop=desktop pc [07:59] xQuasar: your apache config should also give that for you -- look for the various root, server, and directory directives. But /var/www is the official default location. [07:59] Everyone: I'm a windows user migrating to ubuntu so that's why :P htdocs is usually in the root apache folder on windows, that's why [07:59] Hello, where do I get a dvd playing codec? All of my dvd apps don't seem to play [07:59] As you can see, I'm not very good with ubuntu yet :L [08:00] !URE | robscomputer [08:00] robscomputer: 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 [08:00] robscomputer, easiest way is to install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package, which includes most codecs [08:00] robscomputer, did you use mplayer? [08:00] xQuasar: No worries. We're all new at some point. Are you setting up a full LAMP stack (or at least portions of it?) If so, this wiki page walks you through a lot of it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [08:00] xQuasar: Feel free to ask questions in here too, of course. [08:00] xQuasar: Reading Debian Policy (applies also to Ubuntu) and the FHS (file hierarchy standar, I think) may be useful for you. [08:01] efd [08:01] Yeah, I will :P Thanks everyone! And Flannel: exactly what I needed. Tyvm! [08:01] karsten: I don't think that'd help him a whole lot at this point. There's other things that he can spend his time on that'll be more immediately useful [08:01] *Question* I want to monitor a usb device as I plug it in... will tail -f /var/log/messages clue me on what the system "sees"? [08:01] thanks will try that! I'm using Totem and VLC now. [08:02] xQuasar: Generally: stuff needed at boot is in /bin, /sbin, and /lib. /usr has additional commands and libraries, executabels are in bin|sbin, variable content in /var, and it sort of goes from there. It makes sense once you're used to it, much saner than Windows. [08:02] I have another question already: Is it possible to make a shortcut on my Desktop? [08:02] xQuasar: right click on desktop [08:02] bazhang: yes its not listed as its new. hp drivers http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html [08:02] sure quasar [08:02] hi i have this problem https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2010-April/215514.html and i've tried all the fixes the guy said on my clean install of ubuntu 10.04 [08:02] Quick question how do I move a file to current directory? [08:02] mv file // [08:02] senthilnambi: mv filanem . [08:02] i think [08:02] ah :D [08:02] Flannel: It's a good source of overall architecture, with some reasons given for the why as well. If he wants to really understand, it's a good reference to know. [08:03] "mv . [08:03] senthilnambi: man mv [08:03] lol [08:03] Excellent thanks [08:03] remember when doing MV to include the file name [08:03] robscomputer, try installing mplayer then ..that should certainly play anything [08:03] its not like CP which will fill it in [08:03] anyone see my question [08:03] :/ [08:03] anyone experienced with unionfs? [08:03] when i installed and tried with disk utility program it made hang the system and i had to restart. how to report it [08:03] bazhang: There doesn't appear to be an option to select the kernel or OS itself (the latest upgrade is 900meg) Have I missed the option somewhere? [08:03] any possible solution :/ [08:04] karsten: currently I don't see how it's saner, but maybe that's because I've been using it for 7 years :P [08:04] histo: thanks [08:04] shadow-wolf: i'm checking it out [08:04] karsten: thanks [08:04] I'm looking for a nice audio file tagger so Im trying out MusicBrainz Picard and I got everything working in it except i cant seem to figure out how to add album art. I see it can read them from previously tagged files. I was hoping someone here might know how to change the art in the tag. [08:04] RWHR, you were wishing to version upgrade? perhaps apt-mirror then [08:04] shadow-wolf: you can specify a proxy option on the wget command line === skbohra_ is now known as skbohra [08:04] I've been having problems with keyboard/mouse frozen under X after upgrading to Lucid / 10.04 (from 9.04). I've figured out how to get in and out fo X. Any sensible diagnostics I mght be able to run (eg: stuff like xdpyinfo, etc.) to track down the issue? [08:04] I am installing the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package, looks like it's the same codecs mentioned from Totem's site. [08:05] histo how? so i can test [08:05] heyo [08:05] Reference URLs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/HalBreaksKeyboardAndMouse [08:05] how to report a bug if i feel? [08:05] robscomputer, its the general catch-all package for codecs that ubuntu doesn't include by default because of copyright / open source philosophy conflicts [08:05] histo cause i have set it in wgetrc enviroment .bashrc but proxy only gets used if i ssh into the box or sudo wget lol [08:05] shadow-wolf: i'm reading the man page now [08:05] !bugs > chandrageetha [08:05] chandrageetha, please see my private message [08:06] ... and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/555169 [08:06] shadow-wolf: well who's .wgetrc did you set it in?

[08:08] chandrageetha: ubotto is a chanle bot. It just messaged you. That should show up somewhere in your IRC client. [08:08] !bugs | chandrageetha [08:08] chandrageetha: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [08:08] shadow-wolf: [08:08] krishnandu, you could try setting up VirtualBox instead. Its a bit more involved but can support more apps since its a full windows environment [08:08] shadow-wolf: [08:08] shadow-wolf: http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/how-to-use-wget-through-proxy/ [08:08] !es | mauricio [08:08] mauricio: 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. [08:08] krishnandu you'd need your own windows iso though [08:08] antone know how to turn off powersaving for my tablets pen? it seems to stay asleep sometimes after a resume. [08:08] bazhang: I found apt-mirror via a net search, if I'm not mistken this is a CLI program? [08:09] gracias voy a hacerlo [08:09] histo any idea why wget wouldn't use the http_proxy varible or proxy setting in wgetrc? [08:09] !ubuntu-es | mauricio [08:09] shadow-wolf: so did you do what was suggested in the file you linked to me? [08:09] hey guys, how is everybody? [08:10] CogitoErgoSam_: I've installed it and WinXP, but Xp has been shutting down for the last 10 minutes, is it safe for me to do a reset or should I wait some more? [08:10] RWHR: maybe ask in #windows [08:10] greezmunkey we did all that yesterday :P all that you suggested as well [08:10] zggibox: hey [08:10] RWHR: VirtualBox? You can check the virtualbox to force shutdown I think [08:10] join #windows [08:10] histo: OK, thanks. [08:10] greezmunkey: you can tail messages and syslog see if anything is in there as well I would check both. [08:11] i got a quick question for you guys [08:11] greezmunkey: just monitor the log directory for changes when you plug it in. [08:11] RWHR: I meant the virtualbox menu that's available if you're not fullscreen [08:11] histo all my varibles are already set [08:11] CogitoErgoSam_: I giess it can't be any worse than shutting down a windows machine, considering this is a virtual machine anyway :) [08:11] Ok. Lemme see [08:11] wait i'll do pastebin [08:11] ? got a drive that refuses to mount and gives the error that it is "already mounted". shows as unmounted under disk utility [08:11] RWHR: Yeah worse case scenario close it anyway and you'll probably be fine [08:11] shadow-wolf: then what is the problem? [08:12] term_oldcomp1: What's status give by /proc/mounts? [08:12] is it possible to use a usb port of my server so that when i plug in into another device (dvd player with usb port) a directory with my media files shows up [08:12] term_oldcomp1: /etc/fstab can get stale info, especially if you've got root partition problems (it remounts read-only typically). [08:12] shadow-wolf: yeah...I suppose you could create a shell script that sets the variables, and starts wget, perhaps allowing you to input the target http as the script executes. Maybe that way wget will actually see the environment variables, and use them. [08:12] zggibox: yes. [08:13] basically what i want to do is make one of my usb ports to emulate external hard drive [08:13] hmmm... says command not found [08:13] zggibox: automount? [08:13] sudo: /proc/mounts: command not found [08:13] zggibox: Um. is it a storage device, or something which has one (eg: phone, camera)? [08:13] shadow-wolf: that seems reasonable to me at least. [08:13] term_oldcomp1, cat /proc/mounts [08:13] zggibox: in theory it should do that automatically as a storage device in ubuntu. [08:13] Hi, I would like to know how I can install an icon in the menu (via un package), but no matter of the window manager (KDE, Gnome, etc) [08:14] zggibox: GNOME/KDE typically do that automatically already. [08:14] I have Skyrocket screen saver on the first PC that I installed Linux, but when I installed Linux on the rest of my machines, it wasn't on them. I don't remember installing it but I want it on my other systems, I can't find it on the net, is there a .scr file (that I can't see - I've looked) that I can copy to the other machines? [08:14] i think i explained it wrong [08:14] term_oldcomp1: /proc/mounts is a file, not a command. cat it. [08:14] term_oldcomp1: cat /proc/mounts [08:14] RWHR: I think that was part of xscreensavers or some package like that let me look. [08:14] did but gives a huge response.. sec [08:14] none /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 [08:14] /dev/disk/by-uuid/3cff6fc0-d1b4-4f9a-bbf3-d510e85c39c5 / ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0 [08:15] term_oldcomp1: You can also grep your specific device. [08:15] RWHR: i gues it resides in rss-glx package [08:16] well I know it's /dev/sda1 should I grep /etc/fstab? === jdobrien is now known as webm0nk3y [08:16] What the equivalent of the debian "menu" package in Ubuntu ? [08:16] term_oldcomp1: sure, compare the two outputs. Should be more-or-less identical. [08:16] the files will be located on my ubuntu system, my dvd player has a usb port into which i can plug in an external hard drive that has my media on it, i want to avoid moving files from my server to ext hard drive to dvd player, so i'm wondering if it's possible to connect my server and dvd player directly, and through software to specify which directory the dvd player should see as the root of my pseudo external drive [08:16] Merwin: menu ;-) [08:17] karsten: It's not installed by default on my 10.04 [08:17] think my /etc/fstab is borked [08:17] Merwin: I think what you're looking for is alacarte [08:17] Merwin: What does 'menu' does? [08:18] hi [08:18] Merwin: I may be wrong on that, but menu's installed here (ubuntu). Might check Ubuntu's package management docs. [08:18] see what happened is I removed my third drive which was a pata drive and left the 2 sata of which sdb1 was the root [08:18] Is there anyway to fake do-release-upgrade? [08:18] red2kic: generates desktop and other menus for multiple window managers / desktop environments, for Debian. [08:19] I have a botched install, and need to re-install from the command line. [08:19] as far as sources.list goes, whats the difference between archive.ubuntu.com, gb.archive.ubuntu.com, and security.ubuntu.com? [08:19] The fact is that I packaged a program that I wrote, and I would liek to add an icon in the menu [08:19] Independently of the desktop environnement [08:20] I just tried to install Adobe Flash player, except the installation froze midway and died, I closed it at 67% downloading and now it says that it's already installed but it isn't (or at least not working functionally) [08:20] hey guys what does the install Release button do in System->Admin [08:20] how do I remove it and reinstall it? [08:20] Merwin: I'm more familiar w/ Debian, but suspect either its New Package Maintainer's Guide applies to Ubuntu, or Ubuntu has its own guide. Read that. [08:20] Merwin: Ubuntu is based on Debian. And there are a package 'menu' installed. Perhaps it's the same thing you're looking for? [08:20] ok, cat /etc/fstab shows the following lines.... proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 [08:20] !info menu | Merwin [08:21] Merwin: menu (source: menu): generates programs menu for all menu-aware applications. In component universe, is optional.

(by default) [08:21] sadjfklj: "do-release-upgrade --help" Is --sandbox what you're looking for? Just a thought. [08:21] unmount /dev/sda1 [08:22] oops, wrong window [08:22] Merwin: it's optional, though that may be on installation of an X desktop enviornment. [08:22] histo: Funny, when I looked for it, I couldn't find it anywhere, but I have found it now, thanks! Weird! [08:22] hey guys what does the install Release button do in System->Admin [08:22] Hi, i need help @_@ [08:22] Merwin: "aptitude show menu" -- It said installed (as a dependency). [08:22] hey guys what does the install Release button in System->Admin do? [08:22] wassup kuato-AR [08:22] ? [08:23] nits: What version are you on? It is prompt for latest upgrading version, I believe.

My system has been up for weeks and crashed due to battery exhaustion and my bash command history is from 30 days ago [08:24] fuyang: See above. [08:24] ubottu: thanks [08:24] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:25] :P [08:25] lol [08:25] does anyone install bochs successful [08:25] nits: Excellent judgement. :) [08:25] fuyang: you just failed the turing test [08:25] red2kic ubottu: don't want buggy issues during exams, othertimes i would like battling them :D [08:25] i encounter a problem, can't make [08:25] how do I take ownership of /media/320g ? it's set for root right now. I'm assuming chmod? [08:26] yes [08:26] red2kic : Lol thanks, see y'all later :) [08:26] or mount options [08:26] term_oldcomp1: you want to use chown first [08:26] term_oldcomp1: chown [08:26] mount options [08:26] it's probably non linux partition [08:26] I've followed the tutorials but no luck, anybody with experience about Kworld TV tunners and Lucid ? :P [08:26] it looks like i need a usb host adapter, does anybody have any experience with those? expecially in ubuntu [08:26] can the ownership be changed while the drive is mounted? it's ext2 [08:27] term_oldcomp1, you could have mount with uid,gid, mask option [08:27] tripps: It should be fast. Unless you have been leaving terminals open. I'm not certain but everything should be written to the history after you close the terminals. I could be wrong though. :x [08:27] term: You can't change the ownership unless it's mounted [08:27] I have replaced the factory WIN XP with Linux and I want to install the factory XP into a VirtualBox machine, but it won't let me "boot" from teh emergency restore partition (Which shows up as an option when GRUB loads). How can I get it to see the other partitions? [08:27] red2kic, yeah my terminals have been open for weeks as well [08:27] what is the string to set fooapp to /fooappdir/fooapp such that typing fooapp would launch fooappdir/fooapp? [08:27] Same as ls launching /bin/ls [08:27] ok anyone else here using wget through a proxy? [08:28] RWHR: With virtualbox, you don't boot in from grub. You load up linux as usual [08:28] RWHR: Then you launch virtualbox INSIDE your session and it loads in a floating window [08:28] xorwhy: I could imagine you could just set an alias in your bashrc [08:28] tripps: I see. That could be the reason. When you close the terminal, everything should be written to history and I guess it crashed. Nothing have been written, then. \: [08:28] yesss alias thats it, been so long [08:28] thank you [08:29] xorwhy: no prob [08:29] red2kic, bummer. wish it was like a journaling filesystem :-/ [08:29] Rythmbox is seg faulting and closing this happening to anyone else? [08:29] CogitoErgoSam_: I have launched it this way, but I need to install an OS inside VB for it to work, so I want to use the "install" partition on the HDD of the laptop instead of inserting a CD or floppy but I can't find an option to do this. [08:30] tripps: Sorry. It's okay. Also, it is still the manly thing to cry about it. :x [08:30] is there seriosly no one else using ubuntu 10.04 through a squid proxy [08:30] C-S-B: what version are you using? [08:30] hahaha linux is so awesome [08:30] RWHR: I'm not sure how to do it in that fashion; I've only done it via ISO [08:31] tripps: I think you can make history save in real time, looking for a guide now. [08:31] squid proxy.. think they just had an article on that on anandtech [08:31] RWHR: It doesn't sound impossible though [08:31] RWHR: Use ISO/Image. You're just hoping for some hacks to make it work with your !virtual. [08:31] Jordan_U, found this from the folks in #bash: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/088 [08:31] yep, "the family proxy" anandtech [08:31] yeah hopefully it will use the iso functionality to recognize it as a bootable data source regardless of format [08:32] Jordan_U, wish latest OS-es including ubuntu had these more friendly options set :) [08:32] term can you wget through it [08:32] :/ [08:32] kuna, whatever is on lynx, 0.12.8-0ubuntu4 [08:32] lol, you sound like lorg [08:32] sec [08:33] C-S-B, you may have corrupted lib or RAM [08:33] anyone know why I have no hibernate option after a clean install? [08:33] CogitoErgoSam_: I would have thought that you would be able to point to a HDD partition, but I'm not able to :( [08:33] tripps: Well it's not clearly more friendly when you consider that I think it also updates the history in all session in real time, with data from other sessions. That can produce some very unintuitive results. [08:34] wildbat, really? everything else works? [08:34] C-S-B: I know it's dumb, but have you restarted, reinstalled, and deleted the persistence file? [08:34] shadow-wolf: I'm going to be honest when I say I don't really understand it much as they are using arch linux with shorewall and squid [08:34] I can't see the Empathy's popup window, why? [08:34] C-S-B, do a memtest and see [08:34] JaneWoo: click on the icon in your tray [08:34] kuna, the persistence file?

[08:35] C-S-B: it's probably not the problem, but if it were, it'd be located ~/.local/share/rhythmbox [08:35] sand-wolf I managed to wget it in .1s http://www.anandtech.com/show/3715/family-proxy/3 [08:36] err shadow-wolf [08:36] hi [08:36] tripps: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/088 [08:36] anyone here any good with the mesa cell-driver [08:36] ?

[08:48] and where are you from [08:48] mikkas: Is your fan speed controoled by some software in Win? Can you set the speed in the BIOS? [08:48] Gtroy_ lem me try n i shall revert [08:49] okay [08:49] RWHR: It's not set in the bios at all.. dual core core2duo [08:49] it's not the 3d card.. i got the nvidia 3d drivers going n it has shut up :) [08:50] GTroy_ I visited this site earlier but to vain [08:50] that driver didn't work? [08:50] ok, I'll look at it closer [08:50] 怪了，原来的8001端口进不去了 [08:50] kuna: Neither do I, but I'm guessing from what you said before, that I may be running an older version of GRUB on my PC that I had set up about 6 months before the laptops. What's the best way to check the versions? Can I go back to an older version as the list of choices is getting very long? [08:51] shaun,where are you from [08:51] uk [08:51] Guest87572, have you had success in turning it to usb mode/ [08:51] mikkas: I only asked as on my Asus MB, I can set the fan speed via BIOS or Windows software. [08:51] nice to meet you [08:52] GTroy_ I tried installing latest version of usbmodeswitch [08:52] im on an asus board too RWHR but yeah... it's still noisy... less noisy than BIOS when it spins up.. but much louder than windows. [08:52] GTroy_ but nothing seems to work [08:52] RWHR: you could install the older version through synaptic, but I'm not sure how well it sets itself up... no guarantees [08:52] Guest87572, did you edit the conf file? [08:53] kuna: thanks for the advice and warning :) Maybe I should just wait for an update in startup manager... [08:53] GTroy_ nope..i m newbie to Ubuntu...:( [08:53] RWHR: well, what are you trying to change? [08:53] ok, you'll have to edit that file [08:53] when following directions, every step needs to be done [08:53] GTroy_ cud u help me in detail from beguning [08:55] mikkas: When in my BIOS, I can set the fan(s) speeds a number of ways. Q-Mode (Fan speed is dependant on CPU / CASE temp) and by duty cycle (Or % of fan full speed). Your system may be set up in such a way to have a lower fan speed when in BIOS, etc, but when in Windows it is controlled by Software and in Linux maybe the fans get set to 100% speed. Mine is VERY loud when I set it to full speed. [08:57] kuna, I got ahead of myself. This is my prob: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store/+bug/550048 [08:57] hi.. could somebody know why my airmon-ng couldnt detect interfere??? pls.. pls.. [08:58] kuna: On my laptops, I have 8 choices appear when GRUB loads. 7 of these are the various versions of Linux on the system, the 8th is the old Windows master installer partition. I want to limit what I see to the newest version of Linux and the master installer. [08:59] RWHR: remove old kernels which you don't use anymore [09:00] Tm_T: It was just a quicker and easier "fix" to be able to limit the number of kernels seen. I guess removing Kernels will also save a little bit of space too? [09:01] RWHR: yes, and if you don't use the old kernels, they are just wasting the space (: [09:01] Vasistha no it refuses to read the enviroment varibles when regular user or sudo, got sudo to work by editing wgetrc directly but not ideal for deployment [09:01] RWHR: but I recommend keeping two latest installed, just in case [09:01] RWHR: if you feel like keeping them around, for some reason, this might help you out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [09:03] My computer 9.10 AMD freezes, recently while playing video in chrome.

Im doing an update :) [09:48] Shamino45 ask there [09:49] I got a poll here...! How many of you like the Windows Buttons to the left? Or Right? Just answer "left" or "right" ! :) [09:49] !ot | kantoka [09:49] kantoka: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [09:49] ok [09:49] kozin1: You're using lucid? [09:49] yees red2kic [09:49] i did 'sudo update-rc.d -f mysqld remove' but mysql keeps starting up... why is that? [09:50] kozin1: I'd suggest you to hunt on your favorite search engine "lucid, , sound, solved" or something similar. [09:50] ....*cough* left *cough... [09:50] * iflema loves the new position...... lost without it........ [09:50] sorry please explain me how to. i don't understand what u mean? [09:51] kozin1: What is your laptop/computer model? [09:51] sony [09:51] kozin1: Sony what? [09:51] VPCEB11FD [09:52] sony e series (VPCEB11FD) === kozin1 is now known as kozin [09:53] what should i do red2kic? please let me know [09:54] I have a ubuntu box that used all of its CPU. I could not SSH it because this. In the syslog there is nothing logged. How can I prevent this from happening? I would like to always be able to log in with SSH :P And where could there be some logging about what happened when the CPU hang? [09:55] kozin: Looks like new laptop? I'd suggest you to try talking with folks at #pulseaudio -- Or try your luck and install alsa. Also, there are #alsa channel if you need support (from either). [09:55] hi [09:56] how can I uninstall/remove group of packages in apt-get ?? [09:56] yes i think it's new. ok thanks i will join to #pulseaudio and #alsa [09:56] like removing the packages under games [09:56] foo, is the only way to overwrite the grub bootloader with the windows mbr through the recovery console? Meaning I need the disk for the OS I'm working on? [09:56] every time I reboot ubuntu lynx I need to force appearance to nothing because it sets the default on "normal". How to fix that ? I hope it makes sense. [09:57] note : when it use normal mode it uses 50% more of CPU !! [09:57] c0l2e: sudo aptitude remove $PACKAGE1 $PACKAGE2 $PACKAGE3 .... [09:57] red2kic: so there's no option like removing in in groups?? [09:57] like the one with yum [09:58] like in yum... yum groupinstall "Development Tools" [09:59] c0l2e: I don't know about yum. Look at Games. See the list of those games. Purge the packages individually. It shouldn't take too long. [09:59] c0l2e: There are metapackages ie build-essential that install a bunch of packages for you - look in aptitude for metapackages === growlinux__ is now known as growlinux_ [10:00] Hello how i can see is ethX physical link up [10:00] Hello all, I have had a catastrophic failure in upgrading from Jaunty to Lucid, would like to know if anyone knows how I can fix it or if I should just reload from scratch? [10:00] anyone know? [10:00] red2kic: yes I have to check in via aptitude or synaptic to uninstall things.. it's better like apt-get removegroup "games" [10:00] like that [10:00] Hey everyone. [10:00] c0l2e: "sudo tasksel" is the closest thing I think, but that is classified as major distros. [10:01] there is no one answer back me in the #alsa and #pulseaudio [10:01] whats wrong kozin? [10:01] yeah using tasksel in server type.. [10:01] I wish there's a group add/remove [10:02] Lazy^: ifconfig? [10:02] i have sound problem at my laptop (sony vaio VPCEB11FD), USING LUCID [10:02] Hello all, I have had a catastrophic failure in upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, kernel panic!! would like to know if anyone knows how I can fix it or if I should just reload from scratch? [10:02] Hi all, how can I get a printer on LPT1 tow ork in Virtual Box and Win XP. LPT 1 does show up in winXP when I check the hardware list, but I can't fin an option to set up LPT's in VB 3.0.8_OSE r53138 [10:02] c0l2e: "tasksel --list-tasks" will list things. Does it looks similar as yum? You have to aware that Ubuntu are not just a desktop distro. It's aimed at netbooks, servers, different distros, etc. [10:02] danand: erm i think it doenst show it [10:03] red2kic: yes i know but tasksel list is not the same as synaptic group list === Nomad_ is now known as Wanderer [10:03] tasksel if much for server purpose or to install a new batch of packages.. but not necessary in one group only [10:04] People... When will bug 571707 be fixed? It's really annoying [10:04] my embedded terminal in gedit doesn't work. I se a cursor but it only accepts few letters at random times and it won't accept a return. Anyone solved this problem? [10:04] Lazy^: In that case it's not up ;) try ifup ethX [10:04] kozin in a terminal cat /proc/asound/version if ya can ya alsa version past 1.0.22 it seems youll have some joy or remove alsa and pulse and go exclusively with oss...... huh... [10:04] c0l2e: I see. I don't have synaptic installed. I'm not sure if groupinstall exists in synaptic. It's not too bad. People generally know what they want in their machines. [10:05] hmm, i just downloaded the Ubuntu CD and it doesn't provide an option to use it as LiveCD. where did that option go? it was available in older versions that i've tried [10:05] theadmin: sucks. didn't happen to me yet [10:05] c0l2e: Apt-get install yum :) [10:05] red2kic: yeah I can live without groupinstall too, but it's not a bad idea to have it included in package management features [10:06] my asla version is 1.0.01 what should i do? [10:06] theadmin: Looks like it's unassigned so far. :( [10:06] how to check multiverse repository enabled or not [10:06] danand: haha... but there's apt-get / aptitude already [10:06] art2n : I've tried the 10.04 as a Live CD. Worked fine! [10:06] danand: i see ethX but what is the information about the link ? [10:06] Is there a way to disable extensions for Firefox to visit their website after an update? I couldn't care less about what these people have to say. [10:06] theadmin: Wait. There are a fix released for mountall? [10:07] chandrageetha: synaptics or /etc/apt/ [10:07] have installed ubuntu 10.04. fine, [10:07] art2n: If you downloaded Ubuntu CD, it's likely a LiveCD. [10:07] c0l2e: Heh :) yum is available to install though! [10:07] kantoka, but it only gives "rescue" OR "install" options, apart from "test memory", install and rescue, i don' t see where it says "try without install" [10:07] now trying to download and set up java. but how? [10:07] art2n : that sounds strange [10:08] synaptics how to use it? [10:08] yeah... [10:08] danand: yeah.. hehe [10:08] art2n : are you sure it's not the server cd then? [10:08] pozic: firefox -safe-mode [10:08] kantoka, it is the latest version from ubuntu.com, 64bit. i downloaded it as torrent [10:08] art2n: Name of the file? [10:08] i need to install sun java, pls help me [10:08] kantoka, ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64 [10:09] art2n : wait... I'll try the 64-bit live cd in a virtual machine... Hang on! [10:09] kantoka, thanks [10:09] art2n: Ah, that's not a liveCD. [10:09] darn [10:09] !alternative | art2n [10:09] art2n: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [10:09] i need to install sun java,tomcat and netbeans, pls help me [10:09] red2kic: It seems to actually be a bug in util-linux, not in mountall [10:09] red2kic, kantoka -- that was not made very clear to me when downloading from the official website :( [10:09] Lazy^: Try ethtool - think that's the name of the package - that might help you out [10:09] art2n: You can *still* install Ubuntu this way. The only difference is that you don't get to test it before you install it. You just install it straightforward. [10:09] red2kic: but doesn't that disable all extensions? [10:10] i need to install sun java,tomcat and netbeans, pls help me, nobody is there? [10:10] art2n : Aha... It was the alternate cd you menat? I don't have that on downloaded... :( [10:10] pozic: It disable everything. Extensions and themes for the session. [10:10] red2kic: right, which is not what I want. [10:10] red2kic, actually, i downloaded it to reset windows password for somebody. i only needed a livecd option :( [10:10] chandrageetha: Applications>Ubuntu Software Center, search them and install them. [10:10] red2kic: I just don't want it to visit webpages out of its own. [10:10] art2n : The "normal" Ubuntu 64-bit cd works fine as a live CD, I see now... [10:10] maybe it should be marked differently on the download site... [10:11] red2kic: it seems the economic model of extensions is to "upgrade" to pointless versions. [10:11] i cannot download ubuntu 10,04. in between it goes hung [10:11] pozic: The least you could do is to add it to your /etc/hosts [10:11] red2kic: thereby visiting their webpage and so they can get some ad money, or whatever. [10:11] My ubuntu 10.04 could not drive the atheros AR9271, I need some help [10:11] red2kic: that is an approximate solution. [10:11] red2kic: thanks, I read that as there is no real solution. [10:11] art2n : after the boot, there will be a dialog with two buttons: "Try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" and "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS". But for the alternate cd, I don't have a clue... [10:12] chandrageetha, if you can please show some patience I might be able to give you a hand on some things. Have you checked if the packages you are looking for are in the repositories? [10:12] pozic: I have over ten,thousands in my /etc/hosts. Thanks to the script. You can easily add irking websites to /etc/hosts. [10:12] my ALSA version is 1.0.21 and should i need to upgrade? and how should i upgrade? [10:12] red2kic: I just use adblock. [10:12] attach irc://chat.freenode.net/python [10:12] art2n: You want a torrent for your LiveCD? [10:13] !torrents | art2n [10:13] art2n: Lucid can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/lucid/desktop/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/lucid/server/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [10:13] red2kic, that's ok. i found another solution for now [10:14] thanks nonetheless [10:14] can someone give me some help on setting up openvpn? [10:14] s3r3nlt7, yes, i will wait for your reply, i tried it goes on searching with out any disply [10:14] fuyang: what u need to know? === andrew_ is now known as a7ndrew [10:15] ubottu : Are you promoting file sharing? :) [10:15] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [10:15] Hey, Terminal won't open, when I click it it just says "Opening terminal" then nothing, what do i do? [10:15] kantoka: Ask ubottu about !piracy ;) [10:15] haha [10:15] kantoka, yes we promote pear to pear file sharing for legal software, and in this case ubuntu yes. This helps us offload the servers a lot, thus saving bandwith. [10:16] psypher246, what is the "bridge interface" for? I am following this link https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html [10:16] Durf: Try opening it from the terminal. "gnome-terminal" Read the debug messages (if any). [10:16] Durf: Oh wait. :o [10:16] red2kic it does not work.. [10:16] red2kic, try using aterm [10:16] pyspher246: and I am editing the /etc/openvpn/server.conf file === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [10:17] Durf, try hitting alt f2, then type in xterm and run it in there. === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [10:17] Torrenting doesn't equal pirating [10:17] red2kic: Didn't help :( [10:17] Its just a popular way to share files [10:17] Legal files too [10:17] while downloading 10.04, it goes hung. what to do? [10:17] s3r3n1t7 it worked [10:18] Durf, in that new screen that opened, try typing gnome-terminal. [10:18] fuyang: if you want to setup a network bridge instead of just a tunnel, then you would use it, what a brdige does is instead of being a separate ip and subnet, the other side of the vpn will have teh same ip range. it's like plugging a cable between t switches, excpet the cable is an encrypted tunnel across the net [10:18] Durf, any errors in there? [10:18] clone1018: Yeah, most Linux distributions use torrents, including Ubuntu === slide23 is now known as slide [10:18] i cannot download 10.04, may be due to lack of memory? it's below 256 [10:18] Command gnome-terminal not found [10:19] Where do I find Samba mounted disk in a file system?

[10:19] s3r3n1t7 I'll just get konsole [10:19] Durf, the gnome terminal opens when you execute that command? [10:19] no [10:19] psypher246 thanks a lot, let me take a look at it. [10:19] Where do I find Samba mounted disk in a file system? I mean through terminal, because I am connected with the help of GNOME: Places->Connect to server->Windows Share [10:19] deenooo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1034933 ? [10:20] barberan: ~/.gvfs/ [10:20] fuyang: or you can just have a tunnel which is then a routed network, so the tunnel will have one subnet, your lan has one subnet and the clients are all on the same subnet as the vpn tunnel (tap interface) [10:20] Durf, are you running KDE or Gnome? (Unless you're happy with just using konsole instead of gnome terminal, which is fine either way) [10:20] erUSUL thank you [10:21] barberan: no problem [10:21] s3r3n1t7 I'll uninstall then re-install terminal [10:21] I've installed ubuntu 10.04, and its now only offering me one core of my CPU, any ideas how I can start hyperthreading again? [10:21] yes. applications ubuntu software centre - it goes on searching rounding n rounding [10:21] deenooo: I'd say to try and disable the leds if that's irking you. [10:21] Durf, Ok. Good luck! [10:21] psypher246, is there any difference with bridge and tunnel way? I am new to vpn. [10:22] fuyang: you cn also use a tunnel to bridge, sortof, you can have the server and client connected via tunnel but have client on either side of the lan on completely separate subnets routed through the vpn tunnel, so subnet 10.0.0.1/24 on your lan will route to subnet 192.168.0.0/24 via the tunnel subnet 172.0.0.1/24 and from the other side the opposite [10:22] s3r3n1t7 I't failed [10:22] fuyang: huge diffrence [10:22] s3r3n1t7 what do i do? [10:22] Durf, it failed is a pretty huge statement. What failed? What did you do? Any errors? [10:22] s3r3n1t7 terminal didn't open [10:23] fuyang: read that howto link i sent you, it will help unerstand the technology and software, then try the ubuntu hoto again with more understanding of what you are doing. vpn's are very complicated [10:23] s3r3nlt7 i cannot find any applications in the window [10:23] Durf, more info please. Just that it didn't open isn't enough. What did you do to try and open it? [10:24] fuyang: but essentially, if you want to lans to look like they are connected as one, use bridge, good for lan games that can't point to specific ip,s, if you want some clients connecting to your lan and all be on separate subnets, go for tunnel. it's simpler but limited. read the howto, they explain it well [10:24] s3r3n1t7 I clicked on the icon and it said "starting terminal" then stopped [10:24] hello ppl [10:24] Durf, and have you tried to reinstall it? If so, how did you try to reinstall it? [10:24] can anyone help me with a cherokee-django problem? [10:24] fuyang: it's like the 3rd topic on that list, brdgie vs tunnel [10:25] s3r3n1t7 i'll try now [10:25] psypher246, thank you I really really appreciate your help. [10:26] s3r3n1t7 I uninstalled it through ubuntu software centre then re-installed it through ubuntu software centre [10:26] Durf, Ok, and if you try to run it, does it work now? [10:27] guys... how can I change my GDM Theme on ubuntu 10.04? [10:27] Durf, have you done any recent updates?

[10:28] hi [10:28] s3r3n1t7 nope....but...I changed my settings that were visual and now I can't change them back, this is definatley related, how do i change my theme back to default?

[10:30] s3r3n1t7 I just wanna change the theme back manually using terminal. [10:30] s3r3n1t7 there has gotta be a terminal command [10:30] Durf, how do you want to change the theme back using terminal if that's the part that doesn't work ... [10:31] s3r3n1t7 I got konsole [10:31] s3r3n1t7: thanks mate [10:32] why are the icons taken out of the menus for the new skin? [10:32] those are really useful [10:32] Durf, i'm sure there is, but I don't know which command it is. [10:33] Gah [10:33] how can i check installed updates through terminal? [10:33] Does anyone know the command for terminal that forcibley reverts your theme back to default? [10:34] How do I see see what ports a program is using? [10:34] Whenever I upgrade grub, "the package maintainer's version" of menu.lst always includes "root (hd0,0)" lines. Is there any way to make it stop adding those? [10:35] Flash under Ubuntu-10.04 can be a deal breaker. [10:35] how can i use terminal to check the installed packages, eg; java [10:35] Does anyone know the command for terminal that forcibley reverts your theme back to default? [10:37] chandrageetha: aptitude show package-name [10:38] thank you thanda [10:38] chandrageetha: package-name must be specific [10:39] s3r3n1t7: is there any other good way to check what the server was up to during a heavy load, other than trying to log top to a file and wait for it to happen again.. [10:40] neshaug, this might be of use: http://serverfault.com/questions/122697/check-history-of-cpu-memory-usage-in-ubuntu [10:40] thanda, i get the error like -E: Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [10:40] E: Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [10:40] E: The list of sources could not be read. [10:40] chandrageetha: If you have package say, for example: gnome-terminal then type aptitude show gnome-terminal [10:40] chandrageetha, it would help if you would just tell us the problem. You've stated a whole list of different seemingly unrelated problems, so there is probably a bigger problem which you have tried to solve, and probably failed. [10:41] Does anyone know the command for terminal that forcibley reverts your theme back to default? [10:41] chandrageetha: the name must be package-name [10:41] Durf: that's a GUI option. [10:41] red2kic: I found terminal output for all three programs, any hints? http://pastebin.org/224588 [10:42] Is this where I should ask about install/autoremove emacs22 failure [10:42] ? [10:42] They don't really seem to imply the same errors. [10:42] pozic it's NOT responsive [10:44] Durf: then I suggest you try to ask a better formulated question. [10:44] chandrageetha: you can search the package with aptitude search name(if you know it) [10:44] s3r3nlt7, yes ur assumption is right, if you please, i'll tell you. i have just now upgraded to 10.04. now i need to download it for back up. it makes problem. then i need to install sunjava,tomcat and netbeans, all makes problems [10:44] Does anyone know the command for terminal that forcibley reverts your theme back to default? I can't do it via GUI it's NOT responsive: there pozic [10:44] Hi People [10:45] Durf, the theme? why not just use the graphical themes manager for that [10:45] thanda, what is the name for sunjava, i don't know [10:45] Does anybody knows about a good way to encrypt a folder ? [10:45] hello [10:45] bazhang IT'S not responsive [10:45] s3r3n1t7: thanks again, installed and set up.. [10:45] can win32 apps be installed on linux ?

Please, be detailed and if need be use more then just 1 line. [10:46] ruby_on_tails: look into the wine project [10:46] Durf, where are you doing this, just out of curiosity [10:46] Rabbitbunny: k [10:46] chandrageetha, updating won't screw with your sources.list, so i'm lead to assume you've done some manual editing. [10:46] what do you mean where? [10:47] bazhang, I changed the look of my folders, now half my programs are dying on me [10:47] Durf, which programs are 'dying' === Votan|off is now known as Votan [10:47] bazhang, terminal, appearance setting and thats about it [10:48] chandrageetha: Let me guess, you want to have java on your machine...right [10:48] k. thank you. first i hv upgraded 8.04 to 10.04. no manual editing i did. when i clicked on installed packages it goes on rounding up searching and no files displayed. more over system went down telling old unix printing system installing..... like something [10:48] Durf, what about dragging a new theme to the themes manager ( a tar.gz ) then once its switched to that, clicking on the default original theme to revert [10:49] yes, exactly, i need java, tomcat and netbeans, too [10:49] chandrageetha, you're probably talking about cups, which is ok. It's usually installed, which should have no problem. Can you pastebin your sources.list for me/ [10:49] bazhang, where do i get new theme? [10:49] !tab | chandrageetha [10:49] Durf, gnome-look.org amongst others [10:49] chandrageetha: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:50] how to paste the sources.list [10:50] chandrageetha: sudo aptitude install tomcat6 [10:50] chandrageetha, type this on the command line : gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [10:50] chandrageetha, then copy the whole content of that file to pastebin.com, click on submit and give me the link. [10:50] yes. let me try and be back to you [10:51] thanda, his sources.list gives an error about a wrong line. aptitude ain't goin to help.

[12:14] hi there, I have a harddisk that is about to crash (at least SMART tells me so: Raw_Read_Error_Rate). Now this harddisk is in a RAID array. How can I check the RAID is working? And if so can I remove the almost failing harddisk when I turn of the machine and swap the disk with a new one? [12:14] zege done [12:15] gartal, Yeah, but it happens pretty randomly. Is there a way I can set all my applications to keep an open terminal until I get one? [12:15] gisostallenberg, what sort of RAID is it? [12:15] Guest3753: next u type sudo rm /usr/bin/usb_modswitch /etc/usb_modswitch.conf [12:15] s3r3n1t7: I'm actually not sure [12:16] Guest3753: that command deletes the two files u should have copied into /usr/bin and /etc [12:16] gisostallenberg, do you know if it's mirrored, striped, or something? Or let's make it a bit easier, how large is your raid setup and how large is your HD? [12:16] zege ..says no such file or dir... [12:17] Guest3753: then try sudo rm /usr/bin/usb_modeswitch [12:17] gisostallenberg: do you even know if it is linux software raid or some kind of hardware/bios raid? [12:17] zege ..the same msg [12:17] df says the size is 3.6T, lshw tells there are two disk of 2T each [12:17] gisostallenberg: cat /proc/mdstat to pastebin [12:17] Guest3753: and sudo rm /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf ? [12:18] no such file (/proc/mdstat) [12:18] gisostallenberg, then i'd run out, get some external HD and backup everything since you can't unplug 'n replace that nearly broken HD.

[12:22] anyway to wine it to linux [12:23] Guest3753: try restarting your system. In most cases the modem will work, and if not, u konw where to find me ;) [12:23] s3r3n1t7: you mean for backup? backup of most important files is already done [12:23] or it dont work like that.. [12:23] Damien: this is what wine is for :P [12:23] zege.sure...thnx mate [12:23] it wont work with teh wine [12:23] running from windows and i cant stop it with the shortcut [12:23] Damien: Windows Programs are for Windows, Linux Programs are for linux! If it doesn't work with wine it wont run [12:23] and it just keeps running up to 2.4gigs [12:23] gisostallenberg, the problem with your raid is that you can't just replace a HD, since it contains half of all the data. If you replace the HD you'll have to recreate the raid array, thereby losing all your data. [12:24] then [12:24] Damien: what program are you trying to use? [12:24] after installing ubuntu 10.04 there is no windows... please help [12:24] journal macro [12:24] or some kind [12:24] but linux dont have exes [12:24] and i get sick confused [12:24] Damien: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:24] no for real i downloaded a linux version macro recorder [12:25] walilo: maybe u erased your windows partition during the installation? [12:25] thats what i wanted to no [12:25] s3r3n1t7: also if I first copy using a tool like dd or ddrescue? I might be able to first add a third disk [12:25] no i did not [12:25] no i got 60gigs windows and 20gig ubuntu [12:25] Damien: perhaps you ned to be a bit more clear in what you are trying to acomplish. [12:25] zege, i see it but it's not exist on grub [12:25] i downloaded the linux versino [12:25] of a diff one [12:26] hi :) [12:26] I have a question.... can i install Lubuntu from my ubuntu desktop? (from synaptic manager by adding sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lubuntu-desktop/ppa) ? Or should i install it on a new partion using a CD/ an USB [12:26] Damien: the linux version of WHAT? (be more clear and concise) [12:26] can you find me a keyboard recorder [12:26] Damien: the linux version of what, your using abstracttems in a linear environment.. this leads to mass confusion [12:26] so i can type asd x 1000 [12:26] veve: you can install lubuntu-desktop but last i had gnome+lubuntu - there were some issues.. theres also the #lubuntu channel [12:26] wtf dud [12:26] Damien: for what purpose do you need to do that ? [12:26] a keyboard recorder [12:26] to write macros [12:27] walilo: try on a terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc [12:27] too lazy to use pascal [12:27] gisostallenberg, then you're altering your raid array, which is likely not to work. You currently use RAID0, which is striped. This means all data is split between 2 disc's, but also gives you no ability to recover data in case 1 breaks down. With 3 disc's you have RAID5, where 1 of the disc's has a parity for the other 2 disc's. With RAID5 it's indeed possible to swap out a disc for a new one without losing data. However, from what I know i [12:27] t's not possible to convert from RAID0 to RAID5 without losing data. [12:27] Damien: pascal? What does that have to do with anything?

[12:29] gisostallenberg: that should work in theory.. but dying disks are inpredictable [12:30] gartral, no it won't work, since the disc that's damaged is in a RAID0 array [12:30] gisostallenberg, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID is very useful information. I suggest you read a bit about RAID0 there. [12:30] only the very basic principles [12:30] zege i have vista but on grub it's written windows xp on dev/sda3 [12:30] ganesh_: did your nm-applet (the tiny network-applet in the top panel) say something about a mobile broadband connection available, or did a wizard start who guides u trough the configuration of the mobile internet?

[12:31] s3r3n1t7: photorec can copy the striped data, but its a pain to remerge it [12:31] gisostallenberg, any medium that's being read will eventually give you some errors. The rate at which it will give errors (and thus requires rereads of the data) will increase over time, and eventually it will reach a point where it's unrecoverable. [12:32] walilo: have u resized your windowspartition during the ubuntu install (when the installer askt u to do so)? [12:32] no i don't [12:32] gartral, you can't recover data from a single striped raid disc and expect it to be complete and useful. Yes, some data might be on there, but all of the data without errors? not likely. [12:32] can someone please help me [12:32] Hi All! There is no sound on VLC playr at the moment. But before I close the computer it was work great. But now the sound on vlc is not working. I did not do anything like configuration on my system...

[12:49] Dr_Willis, from your echo test there is no doub, there is a space on the FILENAME variable [12:49] doubt [12:50] ganesh_: did u type sudo touch /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1c9e:1001 ?

[13:27] hey guys this is really odd, when my caps lock key is 'on' it types normal, when it is 'off' it types IN ALL CAPS [13:27] jrib: add/remove packages, I think. I'm just finding out what it's labelled as in aptitude. [13:27] peturi: you can't. the system won't boot without some of teh modules! [13:27] Guest23265, if you attach your modem then ubuntu will give you a popup to configure [13:27] peturi: which modules do you want to no be loaded? [13:27] eveningsky: ohk.. this sounds like a either a driver, or display error..are you using compiz? [13:27] ryhohki : m really tired coz of this prblm...m in a dilemma...can u suggest som alternate solution [13:27] How can i configure to browse usb device such as pendrive or mobile memory card? [13:27] sipior: .ssh shouldn't be world-readable, that makes no sense [13:28] jrib: yeah, it's marked as "install/remove packages" [13:28] ANY IDEAS? [13:28] ryoohki : m really tired coz of this prblm...m in a dilemma...can u suggest som alternate solution [13:28] sorry not used to this yet lol [13:28] llutz: i'm not even slightly interested in your opinion. [13:28] xlq: it's easier to troubleshoot if you just run it as a command, but ok. It's strange that aptitude would remove scrollkeeper and keep gucharmap with the dependency. What do you want to do now, reinstall scrollkeeper or remove gucharmap? [13:28] Guest23265: what is the usb device? [13:28] How can i configure to browse usb device such as pendrive or mobile memory card? [13:28] jcrawford: green light = stop now :) [13:28] jrib: remove gucharmap [13:28] exploit100: pop it in and browse? [13:28] sipior: fixed! [13:28] ryoohki : its an USB Modem (indian) MICROMAX MMG 300 [13:28] Guest23265: what version of ubuntu? 10.04? x86_64 [13:28] ?? [13:29] IdleOne, any thoughts why the capslock would be "reversed"? [13:29] psypher246: indeed? what did you change? [13:29] no [13:29] xlq: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/gucharmap.prerm [13:29] ryoohki : yeah ubuntu 10.04 [13:29] jcrawford: maybe you somehow remapped the keys? I have no idea really [13:29] i copied my home folders over when i reinstalled and mounted home on separate part, permissions on home must be 755 then ssh and files within 700 === ubuntu is now known as StPiere [13:29] onetinsolier, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 2010-05-12 07:59 /var/run/network/ifstate [13:29] psypher246: glad you have it working. [13:29] exploit100: can you expand on that? [13:29] IdleOne, no i checked the keyboard layout it seems fine USA choosen [13:29] thanks man, like i said just need ed a fresh pair of yeey [13:29] viliny__, sure [13:30] eyes* [13:30] hello all. is anyone having problems installing 10.04? i upgraded directly and it got stuck at memtest86. [13:30] jrib: it doesn't exist [13:30] hello , i made an executable script to run Skype with some options, but how do set it to be run when i click under Application -> Internet -> Skype ? [13:30] xlq: are you positive? [13:30] jrib: sorry yes it does, I typoed [13:31] Guest23265: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G [13:31] AceKing: roger. i'm not sure what's wrong. root should be able to read and write to that file. mies is like so.... -rw------- 1 root root 16 2010-05-12 05:35 ifstate [13:31] Guest23265: what does lsusb report? [13:31] viliny__, i have some data in pen drive and in a memory card. I want to copy these in my computer. But when i attach the device then nothing happen. Perhps need to configure [13:31] onetinsoldier, how do I fix it? [13:32] StPiere: you have to edit the menu. Right-click on the menu and select "edit" (or sth. similar) [13:32] Guest23265: have you tried contacting the company? are they in india? are you in india? [13:32] onetinsoldier, I mean, is there a way to reinstall anything? [13:32] xlq: have you been forcing things at some point? I don't understand how you don't have gconf-schemas if it's in a package that gucharmap depends on [13:32] StPiere: then change the path to the skype binary so that it points to your script [13:32] What am I doing wrong when `apt-get dist-upgrade` still says "The following packages have been kept back"? Any pointers? [13:32] ryoohki : http://paste.ubuntu.com/432197/ [13:32] jrib: I haven't forced a single thing. [13:33] remrot : there is no such options to edit menu with the right click [13:33] xlq: do you know why things like "scrollkeeper: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you request" are being said? [13:33] exploit100: when you plug in the pen drive you don't get a new mounted location ? [13:33] simmel: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade [13:33] AceKing: that's what i'm saying, i don't know. you can try to make the permissions for that file exactly like mine are, but i don't think that doing that will solve the problem. i'm not sure what's wrong [13:33] s3r3n1t7: Your changing $DISPLAY worked perfectly. Thank you very much. [13:33] IdleOne: still [13:33] jrib: well yeah, it looks like gucharmap wants scrollkeeper, which got removed. But I haven't a clue how it got removed without breaking a dependency. [13:33] AceKing: if you want to make the permissions exactly like mine, do --> sudo chmod go-w ifstate [13:33] IdleOne: as in, I'm still getting it. [13:33] ryoohki - hav tried..the co. says it provides supports for only windows version [13:33] StPiere: if you right-click on e.g. on "Places" you'll see the option, if you're using Gnome of course ;) [13:34] simmel: which packages ? [13:34] jrib: I kludged it now though, so thanks :) [13:34] xlq: is gconf2 installed? [13:34] IdleOne, seems like a reboot fixed it, not sure what could have caused it lol [13:34] xlq: ok... [13:34] jrib: no, it isn't. [13:34] onetinsoldier, thank you for at least getting me this far. I will try that. If it doesn't work, I'll just re install 10.04 [13:34] maybe something in bluez because i am using a bluetooth keyboard [13:34] xlq: exactly, yet it's a dependency of gucharmap [13:34] jcrawford: glad it's fixed :) [13:34] IdleOne: Uhm, our own, from our own repo. I was just wondering how it's possible for that to happend so I can start debug/fixing it. [13:34] remrot : i see now :) .. thanks you ! [13:34] jcrawford: ahh maybe [13:34] *thank [13:34] StPiere: np [13:35] Appl6, you're welcome. [13:35] Guest23265: looks like the same thing as a Huawei E220 USB [13:35] simmel: if there are new versions in the official repos or if there are depend issues with the packages in your private repo it would hold back the packages [13:35] s/new/newer [13:36] xlq: I think it's something you should figure out. That's certainly neither default behavior nor is it desirable behavior [13:36] onetinsoldier, chmod: cannot access 'ifstate': No such file or directory [13:36] AceKing: the best thing to so is put ask the question now like this... "hello. when i run this command... ifdown eth0, i get the following error --> failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied [13:36] viliny__, ? [13:36] viliny__, ??? [13:36] Hello all... has anyone had any issues with Samba in 10.04 that they were NOT having in previous versions? I've created shares in 10.04 the same way I did in 9.10, but none of my other computers can see them (where before they came right up.) [13:36] exploit100: when you plug in the pen drive you don't get a new mounted location ? [13:37] AceKing, you need to use sudo for ifdown [13:37] Just curious if it's a known issue. [13:37] onetinsoldier, thank you, I will do that! [13:37] AceKing: try --> sudo chmod go-w /var/run/network/ifstate [13:37] I am using a package for which i am not getting the .deb file , from where i can make sure that deb package exist for it or not;i want to package it [13:37] abhiSri: what package? [13:37] joaopinto, onetinsoldier, I'll try that [13:37] libpdf++ [13:37] syrinx2112: perhaps a) format of password file changed, or b) you configured samba to use UNIX extensions and symlinks that point outside the share root, which has been disallowed because it's insecure. Just guesses though. [13:37] AceKing: ok, good luck! [13:37] gartral, Yes, I'm using compiz. You're probably right though about getting some kind of log to report. I'll just set more apps to start from terminal and make sure to minimize all the consoles so I don't accidently click one. Gnome Do did catch on to my setting to start from terminal, it just took a minute to refresh the updated .desktop file. [13:37] join #back2hack [13:37] jrib, libpdf++ [13:37] viliny__, right you are. I am not geting new mounted location [13:38] onetinsoldier, he should not change ifstate permissions [13:38] syrinx2112: ive had so many issues with samba its been scary.. but its been issues in the last few releases. Dident notice the same issues in 10.04 at all. But it may depend on how you are using samba [13:38] abhiSri: search the ubuntu or debian package lists [13:38] remrot, where, site? [13:38] joaopinto: ok. well, his were different than mine and i thought that could possible be the problem [13:38] possibly* [13:38] apt-cache search libpdf++ [13:39] abhiSri: well do, « apt-cache search -n lib pdf » and see if it turns up there. If not, /msg ubottu packaging if you want to contribute [13:39] i set the menu entry to run the script , but now i get the error message - permission denied. i have set the scrip with chmod u+x script_name. any advice ? [13:39] abhiSri: packages.ubuntu.com [13:39] onetinsoldier, using chmod to resolve a permission denied for something that needs to be run as root is likely to break the system [13:39] Guest23265: never mind the huwei e220 info, it's also known as a GBC China Bird Modem, USB. Model # CBCPL68 [13:39] onetinsoldier, ok, I tried the last command you gave me. It came back to the prompt with no errors. I will restart the laptop and see what happens [13:39] abhiSri: libpdf exists in debian repos, got no ubuntu atm to search there [13:39] exploit100: what does fdisk -l tell you? [13:40] AceKing: well, like i said, my suggestion is not likely to solve the problem [13:40] Guest23265: http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?topic=9443.0 [13:40] remrot, ok [13:40] AceKing: try what joaopinto said [13:40] abhiSri: also, I don't know if libpdf++ is different from libpdf, better check that ;) [13:40] i known it will popup atomically for this reason i do not try fdisk [13:40] ryoohki : the problem is tat the system is not detecting as modem [13:40] remrot, i will check it out , but i think both are different , [13:41] set the menu entry to run the script , but now i get the error message - permission denied. i have set the scrip with chmod u+x script_name. any advice ? [13:41] Is there a way to remount drives in fstab without rebooting? [13:41] onetinsoldier, that's ok, I appreciate the help. I will try what joaopinto said before I restart [13:41] I have some exciting news. There is a package named cvoicecontrol, written in 2000, that allows you to map speech phrases to unix commands. As far as I can tell, no one has got it working for 5 years or so, and more or less left it for dead. I managed to get it up and running last night : - ). "play music" awesome! [13:41] IdleOne: aaah, one of the dependencies depend on a package that have version >= 1.9 and that package hasn't been pushed out to the repo yet. Thanks for helping. [13:41] mawst, sudo mount -a [13:41] mawst: sudo mount OPTIONS (theres a remount option) [13:41] is there anything i can do to fix the poor sound quality in ubuntu? I have an xfi sound card [13:41] remrot, http://sourceforge.net/people/viewjob.php?group_id=14057&job_id=34688 , have a look please [13:41] abhiSri: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=libpdf [13:41] Since Ubuntu is a little ways out on voice control, this makes me very happy [13:42] simmel: sure thing. :) [13:42] /msg ubottu packaging [13:42] thanks [13:42] AceKing: sounds good. just figure you need the 'sudo' command for pretty much everyting you'll be trying right now, pretty much. if you want a root prompt, do --> sudo -i [13:42] joaopinto, onetinsoldier, I tried with sudo and I'm still getting interface eth0 not configured [13:42] Guest23265: there's ways to tell system when you modprobe [13:42] Is anyone interested in voice controlling your ubuntu box? Not for operational tasks, rather for ambient stuff like "play music" or "battlestar galactica" [13:42] AceKing, blindly executing commands will not help you, if you don't have eth0 configured there is no point in deactivating it [13:43] AceKing: you must either specify an IP or set it to use DHCP [13:43] exploit100: You will not try fdisk? [13:43] noric: submit a patch [13:43] joaopinto: like Prody Parrot :) [13:43] noric: you should put up a wiki page [13:43] Guest23265: modprobe cdc_acm && modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9603 [13:43] abhiSri: I see, interesting project, maybe you should contact "match41", as suggested on the sf page [13:43] IdleOne, cool, I will spruce up my mods and get on it [13:44] noric: i think it's one of those things that is cool for the first hour or so, but rapidly loses its lustre :-) [13:44] joaopinto, I am lost with all this. I'm just trying what I'm told. Everything was working fine until I started the laptop today [13:44] noric, can you provide me a link for that software with your fixes ? [13:44] sipior, I bought a crappy hand-held mic for $17, I am going to duct tape it to something, and see if I can get ambient commands to work, like in star trek. [13:44] noric, that would be interesting for accessibility [13:44] sipior: like compiz :) [13:44] xlq: fair to say :-) [13:44] noric: jrib's suggestion of making a wiki page is also great and can get other people excited about helping with making the package do even more :) [13:44] AceKing: did you install or change anything yesterday? [13:45] remrot, no [13:45] remrot, i tried but i am not getting any response , so i thought to do it myself [13:45] joaopinto, IdleOne, cool, I will make a wiki page [13:45] exploit100: Well i don't have the time or interest to sit here and wait until you reply - hope you get your stuff fixed. [13:45] AceKing: is your router running and working correctly? [13:45] n00b question - does 10.04 use dbus? If so - why is there no /etc/init(.d)/dbus on my system (slicehost)? [13:45] do you have any idée why file in hwmon swicth between hwmon0 or hwmon4 at different boot pls ? [13:45] noric, great, please let me know the url when it's done [13:45] noric: see what you did, one sentence and joaopinto already is interrested in hacking at it :) [13:45] idea* [13:46] dkam: because Ubuntu uses upstart [13:46] : - ) [13:46] dkam, ubuntu uses upstart, check /etc/init [13:46] I will work on it now... is there a particular wiki I should use ? [13:46] wiki.ubuntu.com [13:46] remrot, yes, I have my PC which I am using right now, and my other laptop which is working fine [13:46] How do I specify a user which cron should use when running a specific job? [13:46] remrot : Upstart uses dbus events though doesn't it? [13:46] Thanks! [13:46] afk a bit, working on it [13:47] noric, if you have a real interest on developing it you should setup a project on launchpad, import it to bzr, etc etc === IPNixon-L is now known as IPNixon [13:47] dkam: yes, but it doesn't use init scripts to start services, check the wiki [13:47] remrot: eg - if I plug in some hardware - doesn't dbus notifiy a upstart service === IPNixon-L_ is now known as IPNixon-L [13:47] remrot, if I hover my mouse over the network connections it says "Network disabled" [13:47] dkam, dbus are upstart are not related per si, upstart is just an init replacement [13:47] joaopinto, I have formal computer science education, but I know little about the OSS development process. I can work with trivial makefiles, and build most src, but that's about it [13:47] dkam: udev is the first userspace daemon that known anything about hardware [13:48] noric: sounds like this project will be a great way to learn :-) [13:48] upstart starts dbus , and uses dbus for it's internal functions [13:48] !packaging > noric === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [13:48] AceKing: if you open the network manager setting, is everything set to use DHCP? [13:48] noric, please see my private message [13:48] Guest23265: read this page: http://forum.vectorlinux.com/index.php?topic=9443.0 you may need this "usb_modeswitch" command [13:48] Cool I will check the packaging guide out [13:48] does anyone with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx tell me the vg/lv names for / and swap? in fedoa it's VolGroup00/LogVol00 and VolGroup00/LogVol01 but in ubuntu i think it's volgroup/root and volgroup/swap_1 === DaZ is now known as Guest99376 [13:48] sipior, does sound like a good way to learn : - ) [13:48] remrot, is that Network tools in Administration? [13:49] noric, I can help your with packaging, but is not that important at this stage [13:49] AceKing: left or right-clicking on the nw-applet should give you a menu [13:49] joaopinto, cool. I will start with the wiki, describing what works, what doesn't, wishlist, etc [13:49] first it needs to be available somewhere from source so people can try and test it, then it may be stable for a package :P [13:49] noric, great :) [13:50] anyone with a fresh install of 10.04 who can help me? [13:50] joaopinto: OK - I thought Upstart relied on DBUS events - like "startup" etc. Is there a list of upstart events - or a method of generating them? [13:50] alright all, i have a slew of issues in 10.04: main two are: Magicjack device halts gdm/gnome on load.. spuratic kernel panics when using wine.. and plymouth is garbled on boot [13:50] dkam: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ would be the best place to start. [13:50] remrot, I feel stupid.. when I right clicked on the nw-applet I was able to enable networking. [13:51] I'm trying to build newest gtk+. During configure, I get "TIFF library not found" with mention of libtiff. I have the following libtiff library files: /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4.3.2 /usr/lib32/libtiff.so /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.4.3.2 How do I make them available to the compiler? [13:51] eveningsky: why are you doing this? [13:51] AceKing: :) [13:51] AceKing: hehe, that was easy ;) [13:51] eveningsky: you need the libtif...dev package [13:51] dkam, a list no, a way to generate them, initctl emmit [13:51] can anyone answer a quick question?????????? [13:51] !ask [13:51] 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. :-) [13:51] ryoohki: not if you don't ask it! [13:51] dkam, man initctl [13:52] IdleOne, remrot, joaopinto, thank you for your help. [13:52] AceKing: i'm glad you got it worked out :-) [13:52] Thanks guys - I'll check that out. [13:52] onetinsoldier, thank you for your help. [13:52] AceKing: better that reinstalling 10.04 wasn't it? hehe, you're welcome, but i didn't really do anything [13:53] jrib, I discovered since I'm running inkscape from a terminal that it has a repeated gtk-critical error. Bug reports showed it was a bug in gtk+ that has since been fixed in newer versions. === piju is now known as piju[QRT] [13:53] onetinsoldier, you're not kidding! === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [13:53] eveningsky: how does it affect you other than the message? [13:53] jrib: i need to know the default volgroup and volnames of a fresh 10.04 install, in fedora it would be VolGroup00/LogVol00 and VolGroup00/LogVol01 for / and swap. for 10.04 i think it's volgroup00/root volgroup00/swap_1 for / and swap [13:54] dkam, for regular upstart use you don't need to use dbus, you just need to define a service script at /etc/init/service.conf === toscalix_ is now known as toscalix [13:54] eveningsky: maybe the libtiff headers are missing !? [13:54] eveningsky: install the libtiff-dev package if not yet done [13:55] IdleOne, remrot, joaopinto, onetinsoldier, thank you for not making me feel stupid. That is why I love Ubuntu and this channel! [13:55] cat /etc/fstab should show this info [13:55] joaopinto: I'm attempting to write my daemons (for my webapp) to be controlled by upstart - rather than rolling my own. But I want to send them signals from other scripts (to restart / reload). I thought I needed DBus - but I see I need to generate upstart events. [13:56] ryoohki: my fstab dosent mention any volgroups... [13:56] AceKing: That is Ubuntu! [13:56] llutz, thanks. i only had the regular libtiff4 package. [13:56] eveningsky: when compiling you alwyas need the corresponding -dev packages [13:56] remrot ^ [13:56] Dr_Willis: what about lvscan or lsvg? [13:57] Hello, everyone, I just want to run a few java programs on my 64-bit Ubuntu 9.04 install. Should I install the sun-java-jre or openjdk? Is it possible to install either of these without the browser plugins? [13:57] Dr_Willis: are you on a fresh install of 10.04? [13:57] eveningsky: you really shouldn't be compiling gtk like this, it's just a headache waiting to happen [13:57] ryoohki: i have no lsvg command... [13:57] Hi All....is anyone experiencing issues with 10.04 locking up? Keyboard and mouse are not responding...the only thing to do is to hit the power off button. Anyone experiencing this??? [13:57] help...my dns lookups are extremely slow on ubuntu 10.04 [13:57] TnEt: could you help me? [13:58] TnEt, I'd be thinking you have faulty RAM at a guess. it's the most common explanation for it [13:58] jrib, I'm not sure. I've had a several crashes that could be related. One reported bug in particular I plan to check if it fixes. === starcraft is now known as starcraftman [13:58] eveningsky: patch the source package and rebuild [13:58] yorick: would you tell me what you volgroup and lv names are for / and swap? [13:58] ryoohki: how do I see [13:58] ryoohki: I've never had this problem before....I've been on 9.10 and all was okay....this only has happened since I upgraded. [13:59] yorick: lvscan or cat /etc/fsrab [13:59] roshan-george: sure, you can install the sun-java6-jre package. the broswer plugin lives in the package sun-java6-plugin. [13:59] TnEt: can you ssh in from another manchine? [13:59] ryoohki: this has to do with LVM stuff?

[14:00] ryoohki : yeah..it was simple yet tough [14:00] Guest23265: was it the usb_???? command that was needed? [14:01] Guest23265: did you even use that usb_modeswitch command? [14:01] ryoohki: i tried sudo usb_modeswitch , modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9603 [14:01] but my internet is still slow [14:02] I changed stuff in nsswitch.conf on 9.10 [14:02] Guest23265: and that's all it needed? [14:02] but now it's slow again [14:02] the disable_ipv6 trick on firefox does work [14:02] ryoohki : yeah... [14:02] ryoohki : i m able to c tat modem in Mobile Broadband section [14:02] Guest23265: i thought that might work but i have no experince with that stuff [14:02] Guest23265: what version of ubuntu do you have? [14:03] Would anyone with experience with Ubuntu Server (10.04) be willing to help me a bit? [14:03] Guest8606, whats the problem? [14:03] ryoohki : ubuntu 10.04 ....now new problem raises....i need to put some extra initialisation commands..but where > [14:03] help? [14:03] No real problem, Just have a ton of newb questions. Haven't used linux in far too long. [14:04] fire away [14:04] Guest8606: if you have 10.04 already up with a lvm, could you help me with a little info? [14:04] I literally just installed, ryoohki--Im afraid I wont be much help. [14:04] hello...helpless user here :D [14:04] !manual | Guest8606 [14:04] Guest8606: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [14:04] !ask [14:04] 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. :-) [14:05] Guest8606: type lvscan and tell me what the volgroup name is, please [14:05] heh, lucid just forcibly logged out my user :( [14:05] Hi! I am looking for a way to propose a project to Canonical / Ubuntu. Are there "official" channels for that? For example: The new notification system was an "official" development of Canonical/Ubuntu if I'm not mistaken... [14:05] I clicked to change the window I was typing on [14:05] !blueprints [14:05] Want to suggest or discuss ideas of a future project/feature? With Launchpad you can track blueprints (feature specification summaries) from discussion through review, approval, and implementation. See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ [14:05] and my screen flashed a few times, and I had the login prompt :( [14:05] !brainstorm | bedahr [14:05] bedahr: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [14:05] yorick: perhaps you should disable IPv6 across the system with something like `sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1`? [14:06] roshan-george: how'd that work [14:06] '~$ apt-cache show gnome-keyring' prints text in English although my locales are in my native language. How can I make its output text localized? [14:06] Well I found both blueprints and brainstorm, I'm looking for a more "official" proposal (including cost analysis, planned funding, etc.) [14:07] jrib, As far as I can tell, nobody made a patch. Someone just commited a version with the fix in it. [14:07] roshan-george: would that work instantly? [14:07] IS there any different config for mtop on Ubuntu? I know I am maxing out the queries per second on my system but it doesn't show any. Same process will show 2,000 queries per second on my debian system [14:07] Guest8606: are you still there? [14:07] yorick: It should. [14:07] eveningsky: same thing [14:07] yorick: It gets reset on a reboot anyway [14:07] Im here, ryoohki--trying to keep up. [14:07] roshan-george: it doesn't [14:07] When I curl something as my normal user, I get "empty reply from server", but curling as root gets the data. Howcan I fix that? [14:07] jrib, then what are you telling me to do that's any different than what I'm doing? [14:07] bedahr: there is no other mothod for an "outsider" afaik. but you could try to contect someone at Canonical (irc not being the best method for that ...) [14:08] I tested with host google.com [14:08] !source > eveningsky [14:08] eveningsky, please see my private message [14:08] yorick: I see. [14:08] eveningsky: even better would be to do it some virtualized environment [14:08] Guest8606: would you help me? you'ld learn a little about the system [14:08] roshan-george: it gives some valid ipv6 addresses, and then ";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached" twice [14:08] Hi all. Why Ubuntu printing asks for LOGIN to a windows station on a LAN, while it doesn't require to be logged in to Print? [14:09] lfaraone, your problem is very unusual, the running user should have no effect on the curl outcome [14:09] ryoohki, I will do what I can to help. [14:09] lfaraone, is it an external accessible url ? [14:09] joaopinto: yes. http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/xpad/xpad_4.0-5.dsc [14:09] MegaHerz: printers can be set up to allow guest printing. [14:09] bedahr: Perhaps try http://www.canonical.com/aboutus/contactus [14:09] Guest8606: type "lvscan" as root or "sudo lvscan" otherwise [14:09] joaopinto: in fact, even Nobody can get it :) [14:10] Guest8606: don't cut and paste the output [14:10] lfaraone: maybe you have something on the users envoirment that affects curl ? proxy defined? some other var? [14:10] jrib, the version with the fix is not in the repositories yet. it has to be built from source. [14:10] erUSUL: ok thanks [14:10] eveningsky: you are missing my point [14:10] bedahr: no problem [14:10] h00k: Yeah I guess so... [14:10] roshan-george: http://pastebin.com/7QzATDKZ [14:10] Guest8606: just let me know when done [14:10] lfaraone, ping ftp.us.debian.org, is not available, if its working as root then you must have an /etc/hosts for it in a way that only root can read it [14:10] jrib. I know that's why I'm trying to ask you what your point is. I'm not getting it. [14:10] roshan-george: it happens when I do host -4 too [14:10] lfaraone, you are trying to install xpad? [14:11] Ryoohki: if I run it without sudo, I get a "running as non-root, functionality may be unavailable" but when I run it as sudo lvscan nothing happens. [14:11] I guess the ISV partner program is not about Canonical getting involved but rather a bit of collaboration (joined marketing, etc.)? [14:11] Dr_Willis: Thanks for reply. I've just added Guests group and granted Printing on Windows. Is it enough? Guest account is disabled though. [14:11] lfaraone, oh wait, it's ramdomly failing [14:11] lfaraone, ftp.us.debian.org is a round robing DNS entry, it will work or not depending on the returned IP [14:11] MegaHerz: no idea. I always twiddle with the settings till it works.. of course My new printer has its own printserver. :) so i dont even have to do that., [14:11] eveningsky: build a package, do it right. Unfortunately, I don't have time to fill in details at the moment. The wiki on packaging should be sufficient [14:11] Dr_Willis: all this is strange for me. Why I can print from any other windows station but NOT from Ubuntu? [14:11] Guest8606: type "cat /etc/fstab" and let me know what the swap line reads [14:11] joaopinto: wget works, however. curl *always* failes under my user, and *always* works under another user. I just tested it 10 times. [14:12] bazhang: No, I'm trying to use dget -xu so I can test that it builds on Maverick before I file a sync request to drop the Ubuntu changes. [14:12] eveningsky: in particular, you can either do this by adding a patch to the current package or just upgrading the package to a new version. And as I said, it would be nice, if you are really just testing if these errors stop the crashes, to first do this in a virtualized environment [14:12] lfaraone, curl randomly works on me, always with a regular user [14:12] Why Ubuntu asks for password to print on a windows printer, while other windoes hosts do not require any password? [14:12] lfaraone: stry stracing it [14:12] MegaHerz: could be the windows machines are also some how auto-logging in to the shares/printer in a way ubuntu isent. [14:12] Can I change the gnome/nautilus cd-burner speed? I cant find any gconf settings. The ones I can choose from are too low, and forcing others when running wodim manually works just fine [14:12] lfaraone, something is affecting your dns lookups in a non random fashion [14:12] any ideas? [14:12] MegaHerz: i rarely go ubuntu->windows Printer.. I always go windows -> ubuntu printserver :) [14:13] Dr_Willis: you are lucky [14:13] Ryoohki, there's a lot of information that came up -- what in specific are you looking for, sir? [14:13] Dr_Willis: I'm @ laptop, running here and there, many offices [14:13] MegaHerz: of course mosta ll the new printers i See these days are wireless/network capable :) [14:13] hateball: gconf-editor apps> [14:13] Guest8606: the swao line. try egrep -i swap /etc/fstab [14:14] lfaraone, nslookup nslookup ftp.us.debian.org, it should return 5 IP addresses [14:14] ops, just one nslookup :P [14:14] erUSUL: Yeah, I cant find anything there tho... searching for burner gives nada [14:15] ryoohki, do you want me to just type out everything that came from that? [14:15] Ok. Simple question. What username/group/password should I type to print on Windows host? [14:15] hateball: apps>nautilus-cd-burner>defaultspeed [14:15] joaopinto: huh, doing "sudo su lfaraone" and curling works... [14:15] Guest8606: no, i'm only looking for something that looks like volgroup00-swap01 [14:16] Guest8606: or maybe it will look like VolGroup00/swap_1 [14:16] erUSUL: it's not there in lucid... used to be before that. It would seem it's brasero that launches when you open an ISO, but the related gconf entries dont have anything related to speed by default [14:16] '~$ apt-cache show gnome-keyring' prints text in English although my locales are in my native language. How can I make its output text localized? [14:16] Nothing VolGroup at all. [14:17] hateball: then i dunno ... sorry [14:17] remrot: output of strace: http://sprunge.us/NONI [14:17] Guest8606: try "sudo vgdisplay" please [14:17] is anyone a deep unix guru? my question is my dont symlinks have chmod style permissions .. what is the good reason for this. is it just a simple matter of consistence, and for any situation where i want to change the mod on a symlink i should be using hardlinks ??? [14:17] After signing in with your OpenID ubuntu launchpad credentials, is it customary to use your real name as your Ubuntu Wiki account name? [14:17] ^must have proof of beard [14:17] ryoohki, nothing happened. [14:17] lfaraone, are you using curl from lucid ? [14:18] ryoohki: Hmm.. One could of done an install of ubuntu inside virtualbox and see what 'volgroup' stuff it uses in the time this has been going on. :) [14:18] Guest8606: thanks [14:18] joaopinto: yes. [14:18] Dr_Willis: that's what i stuck working on [14:18] noric: generally, but you don't have to [14:18] bullgard4: it will only show in your language if that info has been translated. [14:18] lfaraone, pastebin nslookup ftp.us.debian.org [14:18] Hmm.. can a hardlinks file have 2 differnt set of permissions? [14:18] bouma: symlinks always are rwxrwxrwx [14:18] bouma: http://www.zzee.com/solutions/chmod-help.shtml#zzee_link_7_1077830225 [14:19] noric: there is no 'set rule,' it's as you want [14:19] Dr_Willis, most likely, yes [14:19] h00k, ty, was as easy as checking out some of the Team pages [14:19] joaopinto: http://sprunge.us/HjWa , like I said it works from wget :) [14:19] Guest8606: thanks! [14:19] IdleOne: That information has been translated. I do not know who did it. [14:19] so exciting [14:19] You're welcome, sorry I wasnt more helpful. [14:19] joaopinto: just tried it here and it dont work that way. [14:19] noric: cool [14:19] lfaraone: don't see any errors locally... [14:19] lfaraone, does a subsequent nslookup returns the hosts on the same order ? [14:20] does anyone have the default lvm in 10.04? [14:20] joaopinto: no. [14:20] lfaraone: if the same file works with wget, it's probably the transfer mode... [14:20] Hello,everyone [14:20] SwedeMike: from what i understood that page you liked is wrong, chmod only acts on the deferenced file if there is a trailing / but i could be wrong or out of date [14:20] Does the normal desktop installer cd even let you do a LVM? ive never noticed [14:20] bouma: there seems to be both ways depending on system. Regardless, symlinks can't have permissions. [14:21] Dr_Willis: no, only the alternate (and server perhaps) installer will do lvm [14:21] SwedeMike: why does this make sense, when hardlinks can ? [14:21] ryoohki, is 10.04 server strictly command based? if not, how can I use the gui? [14:21] can anyone help me out? I have three ubuntus all the same version.. dont know which one to delete, last time it screwed up the boot loader and I had to boot from the cd I want to change the name of my current partition and fix boot loader [14:21] lfaraone, there is something caching the dns lookups for whatever resolver function is used by curl, and that cache is behaving on a per user fashion [14:21] remrot: huh? I'm out of my knowedge there. [14:21] so many I don't know [14:21] bouma: symlinks never have their own permissions - it wouldn't make sense [14:21] Guest8606: you can install the X/desktop if you wanted [14:21] joaopinto: seems sensible, but I van't find anything useful about that. [14:22] Guest8606: try "telinit 5" [14:22] bouma: it's just defined that way. hardlinks is a new "file" , whereas symlink is not. [14:22] Dr_Willis: if you change permission on hardlinks, you'll change file-permissions too (sounds logical to me, both point to same inode) [14:22] Guest8606: install some window manager on it, and you'get X-Windows [14:22] lfaraone, curl/wget/whatever ftp.us.debian.org is expected to get you into random servers [14:22] llutz: yep. Hard or soft.. changing the link. changes the orignal file here.. (from what i am seeing) [14:22] ryoohki: couldnt you like use the and wise mask of the chain of symlinks to get the final mask [14:22] Guest8606: you may have to "apt-get install kde" or "apt-get install gnome" [14:22] bouma: a simlink is a file that contains a file path. a hardlink is a inod that p9oints to the same data that other inode (so you have to entries un the filesystem pointing to the same place) [14:22] lfaraone, do you use dnsmasq or a similar tool ? [14:22] when you do a hard link you can't really tell the difference between the two different files anymore, they're two equal pointers, whereas a symlink is always depending on the "real" file. [14:22] lfaraone: different transfer modes exist for ftp, like binary vs. ascii [14:23] bouma: only the perms on the final file matter [14:23] Guest8606: window managers are like, wmaker, metacity, icewm, compiz, ect... [14:23] hi, is there a service in /etc/init.d that manages netfilter/iptables? [14:23] bouma: other wise i could make a symlink in my home dir and give my self suid [14:23] no one has a clue ? [14:24] Hi! I am trying to install lucid using RAID, (using the alternate install image, amd64) and would like to use cfdisk to copy the partition table information from the first disk to the rest (to ensure that they are all partitioned the same way, the disks are identical), but can't seem to find cfdisk. Is it no longer part of the installer? [14:24] !firewall | agronholm [14:24] agronholm: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [14:24] is there a way to make windows dock on the left and right side of the screen by dragging it over to the side like in KDE? [14:24] joaopinto: it's installed, but it's not in use. [14:24] agronholm: check /etc/init also for service scripts init.d is getting slowly phased out [14:24] in gnome [14:24] TommyThaGun: not that ive seen [14:24] Guest8606: did telinit 5 work? [14:24] bummer [14:24] lfaraone: if wget works, as the same user with the same environment, I doubt that there's a problem with the network, DNS or sth. like that [14:24] joaopinto: I just stopped dnsmasq and no change. [14:24] ryookhi, no telinit 5 did nothing. [14:24] TommyThaGun: there MIGHT be a compiz plugin to do it. but ive never noticed one. [14:24] hmmm [14:25] maybe I'll ask in #compiz [14:25] TommyThaGun: perhaps experimental ones. [14:25] #kubuntu [14:25] lfaraone: can you paste the url of teh file please? [14:25] hey folks, any way I can create my own background "collections"? [14:26] lfaraone, installing dnsmasq will change your dns related config, it is most likely related to your problem [14:26] anyone know the options for "netstat"? [14:26] The_Chiller: "man netstat" [14:26] ryoohki: erUSUL SwedeMike, thanks, i guess what youve told me makes sense, is consistent, and is the simplest solution. but i still think you could have an elaborate scheme where if a symlink pemits but the next sym points to doesnt then it is denied, essentially take the bitwise and of the stack of all symlinks, although what about groups.user... let me think about my overly complex thought for a sec [14:26] Guest8606: try holding down the CTRL key and the ALT key at the same time and press the F1 - F8 keys one at a time [14:26] I created the XML file in the folder with the collections in the /usr/share/backgrounds directory but I'm not sure how to make it recognize it [14:26] remrot: *any* URL fails with CURL under my user. But take http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sablotron/sablotron_1.0.3-1.1.dsc for example. [14:27] mkjackson: perhaps look at -> http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/script-to-generate-xml-wallpaper-file.html [14:27] bouma: then you could just fingure out the last file pointed to and use the full path [14:27] bouma: well, I guess permissions could be ANDed and then allowed, but yes, it's complicated and I would imagine it could break things, some filesystems might not be designed with permission flags for symlinks [14:27] is there a way to have my microphone feed back through my headphones? I use pretty hefty headphones when I'm talking on skype and stuff and it''d be nice to be able to hear myself. [14:27] Dr_Willis: Thanks man, JUST found a link to the same exact page... funny how the answers come in packs [14:27] Guest8606: still here? [14:27] lfaraone, sudo apt-get purge resolvconf dnsmasq [14:27] Dr_Willis: :-) [14:28] mkjackson: i got that one on my Delicious links. but i perfer other wallpaper changer tools [14:28] Here, ryoohki--trying things :) [14:28] how to join the china's group? [14:28] !cn [14:28] !cn [14:28] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:28] Guest8606: type "tty" [14:28] thanks [14:28] bouma: everybody can read a syumlink see what path it points to and try to access the file it points to at that point is where permissions are checked against the file not the symlink. in the case of a hard link when you open it is just like a regular file with its inode so you check permissions at that point (and thus makes sense to be able to change them) [14:28] Does anyojne know if the mainboard Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2H [14:28] works with ubuntu 10.04 ? [14:28] I used to be able to, but I can't figure it out with the new sound preferences menu [14:28] Guest8606: what did it say? [14:29] sanderj__: sure why not ? or does it includes some piece of weird hardware ? [14:29] is there anything i can do to fix the poor sound quality in ubuntu? I have an xfi sound card [14:29] erUSUL: is there a way to find (efficiently) all fqpn that are the same inode ? [14:29] erUSUL, It has hdmi, wondring if that works. [14:30] bouma, find path -inum inodenr [14:30] bouma: no - you have to use find [14:30] bouma: find -inum -samefile [14:30] Guest8606: what did "tty" report? [14:30] sanderj__: intel graphic card... really dunno still using vga here ;) [14:31] rolsworth: maybe your sound is up too high [14:31] no [14:31] 5.1 does not work properly and changing the volume gives a scratchy sound [14:31] ryoohki, "/dev/tty1/" is all that happens [14:31] erUSUL: so then you can find another hardlink with possibly more permissive perms and use that instead, which is the same criticism of pems for softlinks [14:31] tried everything [14:31] Guest8606: you are on a serial port? [14:32] rolsworth, you should file a bug report about it [14:32] joaopinto: yeah, still "curl: (52) Empty reply from server" [14:32] /quit [14:32] lfaraone, pastebin your /etc/resolv.conf and ls -la etc/resolv.conf [14:32] rolsworth: i recommend you poke around in the sound preferences, just click on the speaker icon in the panel, and make sure everything looks like it's configured [14:32] Guest8606: there's no x unless on a console or vnc [14:32] bouma: what criticism? symlinks permissions do not matter are never checked and can not be used to bypass any security [14:32] also raid installs don't work with 10.04. I see there has been a bug filing about it since the beta. Never fixed [14:33] btw, i dont expect to find some grand hole in unix, im just trying to learn the wisdom from the decades old systems [14:33] ryoohki, I see. Thank you for trying :) [14:33] How to configure samba? Workgroup for example [14:33] lfaraone, does curl 204.152.191.39 works from your user ? [14:33] bouma: hardlinks always have the same permissions as the origin file [14:33] everything is configured [14:33] hiyas all [14:33] Guest8606: are you on the graphical console or a serial terminal? [14:34] llutz: hardlinks cant have different perms ? [14:34] bouma: if you change one, the other get changed too === guilherme is now known as Guest1301 [14:34] bouma: nope [14:34] i guess there are no proper drivers for x-fi xtrememgamer. i tried 32bit and 64bit and got the same results [14:34] llutz: oh, darn, i gave my bro the wrong advice earlier today than [14:34] Guest8606: i'm not sure if ubuntu has run levels either [14:34] bouma: http://linuxgazette.net/105/pitcher.html [14:34] ryoohki, Im sitting here on my laptop. The linux box is behind me in my office. [14:35] ok...I changed my dns servers to the google one...I think it fixed my problem [14:35] rolsworth: hmmm, sorry yours isn't working quite right. my x-fi titanium works fine in 64-bit [14:35] Is there any GUI in Ubuntu for configuring Samba? [14:35] bouma: hardlink and file use the same inode, which only can have one set of permissions [14:35] i'm trying to convert an ubuntu 10.4 to a discless system - with a kernel and server that is able to boot a discless debian [14:35] !help [14:35] 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. :-) [14:35] hello [14:35] !info gadmin-samba [14:35] gadmin-samba (source: gadmin-samba): GTK+ configuration tool for samba. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.8-1 (lucid), package size 119 kB, installed size 432 kB [14:35] bouma: there is only on inode in a hardlink [14:35] llutz: perhaps when we get fs's with builtin datadeplication for arbitrary internal byte extents then that will become pratical [14:35] Bombo: try "stat filename" === dad_ is now known as Guest2753 [14:35] hey guys, can anyone give the command to get the volume icon back into the indicator applet please?? [14:35] but with ubuntu I get 'ureadhead main process exit with status 5' [14:35] and ubuntu fails to boot [14:35] ryoohki: so the inode has the 775 ? [14:36] joaopinto: No, it does not. [14:36] erUSUL: t.y. [14:36] notification area, sorry [14:36] bouma: yes [14:36] ryoohki: not the dir entry ? [14:36] lfaraone, ok, so is not DNS related [14:36] ryoohki: ah [14:36] did anyone tried to do a discless ubuntu 10.4 ? [14:36] bouma: the filename is an entry in the directory which is a special file [14:37] Yo! [14:37] ActionParsnip: launch gnome-volume-control-applet ?? [14:37] ActionParsnip: gnome-volume-control-applet [14:37] lfaraone, have you played with the firewall recently :) ? [14:37] erUSUL: IdleOne: cheers guys. Was grepping my ps output and couldn't see for looking :) [14:37] ActionParsnip: yeah, they didn't make it easy to find did they [14:38] erUSUL: its nice! [14:38] lfaraone: seems I've missed some info. what is the error message when you run curl with the -v flag? did you paste it already? [14:38] lfaraone, erm, wait, you could have a per user proxy defined which would interfere with curl [14:38] ActionParsnip: you are wellcome ;) [14:38] lfaraone, env | grep -i proxy === u is now known as Guest2511 [14:38] erUSUL: see, i don't have ALL the answers ;) [14:38] bouma: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inode#POSIX_inode_description [14:39] lfaraone: joaopinto 15:10 < erUSUL> lfaraone: maybe you have something on the users envoirment that affects curl ? proxy defined? some other var?

[14:40] well, try curl -v as remoteCTRL suggested, to check to which IP is the real connection being done to [14:40] hi all .. how can i resize my dekstop ? [14:40] kraehe_: tried some boot options?

[14:41] Bersam, yes you can resize it--> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:41] ActionParsnip: ahh ok, well gnome-volume-control-applet starts up a sound applet that is colored black with blue lines. [14:41] grama: i have the deb installed.... i do not remeber where a i got it. google could be of help [14:41] on my desktop [14:42] bouma, that's not related to bind, bind does not touch your resolv.conf [14:42] Guest2511: try that command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:42] trying to delete another version of ubuntu off my pc, there is windows and two other versions of ubuntu on my boot loader -- last time i deleted one it took the boot loader away [14:42] any solutions ?

I don't have the right user settings to have the option to "All apllications" in System Monitor gui program... What user setting changes do i have to make in User Settings to open this option up? [14:43] joaopinto: well, iit puts a nameserver 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/resolv.conf, and prevents the two usual lines from appearing [14:43] chris8: launch it with gksudo [14:44] 1,686 people in here ? no one knows how to edit the boot loader ? [14:44] bouma: 127.0.0.1 is correct if you ru your own named [14:44] chris8: if you are launching the app from the menu's then run: alacarte and edit the entry [14:44] Is Ubuntu printing supposed to be functioning in windows networks?

[14:44] grama: first hit in google [14:44] MegaHerz: if you share the printer using samba then yes absolutely [14:44] hp00p: simple question - no help [14:44] lol [14:44] chris8: gksudo is the one you need [14:45] !grub2 | hp00p [14:45] hp00p: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [14:45] jus' * gksudo user settings [14:45] hp00p: everyone is using raw partitions - it's 2010!!!!! [14:45] MegaHerz: WIN can print directly to cups, shouldn't need samba [14:45] ActionParsnip: I need to print on a LAN's Windows printer. But when I try to configure it, Ubntu can't browse network and sees no printers. Even when I specify IP directly. [14:45] sorry system monitor [14:45] joaopinto: and so i am, and it works lovely at home, but on occasion eg at free wifi spots, it breaks cause they only let u use their nameservers and i need to disable it, im wondering, will /etc/init.d/bind9 stop, be enough ? [14:45] llutz: I print on Windows [14:45] bouma, I have installed bind 1 year ago and it didn't dit that, bind is a server package, it is not expected to change your local config [14:45] hp00p: the lvm is not used in a default derver install - huh???? [14:45] MegaHerz: oh [14:45] woot thanks Action Parsnip [14:46] the problem is, im not sure which ubuntu to delete [14:46] :/ [14:46] i have grub2 [14:46] hp00p: pastebin [14:46] MegaHerz: try out the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands yet? see if they can see the printer [14:46] bouma: normally, network-manager (or other dhcp-client) changes these entries. you can change them manullally if you want, but they will be overridden on next reboot/reconnect [14:46] What Ubuntu does when I click Browse when adding printer? Why it doens't see them? [14:47] Dr_Willis: ok. [14:47] MegaHerz: use the printer applet and tell the system its a samba printer, the address will be: hostname/sharenameofprinter you may need to provide a username and password for authentication. If you account has no password (windows users love no passwords) then make an account which has one as samba NEEDS a password but try connecting without first. There is a test button you can use [14:47] MegaHerz: the gnome 'network browser' feature has always been a litle flakey for me [14:47] joaopinto, ok so you say then since installing bind, when you connect to your isp your prim and sec dns nameservers are populated intto /etc/resolve.conf when your dhcp negotiation is complete ?? it has stoped for me after bind install [14:47] MegaHerz: you ould also use the cups interface (or web interface) to see if that sees a printer === antonio_ is now known as kabal [14:48] MegaHerz: the printer will still need a Linux driver so if the printer has no Linux support then you wont be able to print through it [14:48] ActionParsnip: thank you. The problem with password is strange for me. I shared printer on Windows host to Everyone. Why do I need user/password? [14:49] Ok, I've figured out how to swap the primary display using xrandr. But now I need to do a fresh install of Catalyst, but even a -purge of amdcccle and removing the prop drivers leaves some config files because when I reinstall I still have the screwed up devices from when I was experimenting. Any ideas of what config files amd is installing outside of /etc/ati? [14:49] or how I can find out? [14:49] u [14:50] ActionParsnip: When I type address of a printer (as windows share) directly, Ubuntu finds printer, but asks for (not existant) password. When I type IP without service name - Ubuntu finds nothing, claiming something about firewall which is OFF here [14:50] what is the difference between an up-to-date older version of ubuntu and the latest edition? [14:50] sdk: perhaps after you've installed again, remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then run the following command --> sudo aticonfig --initial [14:50] no one can help me with the default volume group name on 10.04???!!!!!! not a single person is using the lvm!!! [14:50] MegaHerz: samba expects one usually, try without bt you can add a user called printeruser or somesuch which you can use. [14:50] help with restarting scgi for django on cherokee [14:50] pls [14:50] :( [14:50] n0mad, the latest version has newer versions of packages [14:50] good night everyone [14:50] MegaHerz: exactly, you need to use your windows username /password to authenticate [14:51] n0mad, also some architectural changes (some of which come with the newer kernel) [14:51] !lvm [14:51] onetinsoldier: thought I'd done that, but I'll try again, just to be sure.

[14:51] ryoohki: Aparently not. === sdk_ is now known as sdk [14:51] sdk_: roger. it might not sure the problem, but worth a try... you'll need to restart X afterwards [14:51] chris8: yes, you need to tell gksudo the app you want to run, running gksudo on its own doesnt do very much at all [14:52] sdk: sure = cure [14:52] chris8: try: gksudo gnome-system-monitor [14:52] how can I restart scgi? or fcgi? restarting cherokee won't help, only rebooting system solves the prob. [14:52] Action: no no no gksudo pops up asking for prgrm name and sudo password, which i fill in... but then nothing [14:52] Bah, crap. my ISP changed my IP addy this am. Can't SSH into my system..

It discusses what you are seeing [14:58] hi [14:58] ActionParsnip: and even with the gksudo entry into System Monitor, I still don't have the option of seeing "all processes"--will the forum put me on the right track? [14:58] how do i install a tar.bz2 [14:58] chris8: should help cure the error, running the app with gksudo should give you access to all [14:58] BitEncrypt: what is the name of the file and where is it stored? [14:59] its on my desktop [14:59] its Vuze [14:59] ActionParsnip: hahahah hmmm makes sense if i resolve a security issue it may work properly... thanks [14:59] BitEncrypt: can you give the full filename please [15:00] BitEncrypt: uncompress it to some directory. run the binary in the directory for the app.. or read its install docs.

I already know they are both installed [15:27] Dr_Willis: what about Facebook quicklink apps? [15:27] xplunt: as written in that tutorial: cp -i -v makes cp (the command) ask before it overwrites things and more verbose (it tells you what it is doing) [15:27] gartral: I let all my crops die in farmvillebook... err. i mean facebook [15:27] ok, zetheroo have it your way [15:27] Dr_Willis: how do i make it so I am asked for my login password on login? [15:27] zetheroo: login settings icon in the settings menu. [15:27] BluesKaj: ha ... [15:28] so verbose is telling you more info and -i is making it ask for you to do a action? [15:28] Dr_Willis: settings menu? [15:28] zetheroo: where all the otehr 10000 admin settings icons are at. [15:28] well perhaps 50 here. :) [15:29] xplunt: please type man cp (at the CLI) and read that, you can leave the man pages by pressing q [15:29] thanks [15:29] Dr_Willis: ok ... got it ... Login Screen under System > Administration ... thanks [15:29] Dr_Willis: It's been a VERY long time since i litterally fell out of the chair laughing in a funny-spasm, mass kudos to you my friend! [15:29] ? is there a way to connect skydrive as a mounted drive? [15:29] Dr_Willis: will try it out again ... === aperson is now known as piys [15:29] xplunt: what was said above goes only for cp in exactly this way, with other commands it may be different [15:29] Only 21 admin items there for me.. the Users settings menu has a whole screen+more past the bootom === piys is now known as Guest29440 === Guest29440 is now known as aperson [15:30] Can anyone recommend a good page layout program? Something that I can make simple brochures and business cards in? === KindTwo46 is now known as KindOne [15:30] hmm [15:30] ola [15:30] do i have to reboot to have that change take effect? [15:30] eooo [15:30] I'm running 10.04 with ATi Radeon HD 4200 it seems to be working very well, compiz is working well with cube but in compiz config manager I am not able turn on deformation or 3d windows, I am using the FGLRX driver supplied in the Hardware Drivers Manager [15:31] is anyone using the default lvm on a fresh 10.04 install? [15:31] eooo¡¡¡¡¡ [15:31] kassah: scribus is perfect for that sort of thing. [15:31] can I safely edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf --without conflict from the gnome network thingie [15:31] again was not asked for my login password .. [15:31] ryoohki, no, I don't recommend using lvm on a desktop [15:31] joaopinto: and why not? [15:31] roberto__, it should be safe [15:31] I only ask because I don't see my configuration options from that program in the dhclent.conf [15:31] sipior... awsome.. thanks.. will give it a run =) [15:31] joaopinto: thanks [15:31] man - i could of done a server install in virtualbox by this time. :) and seen what lvm stuff it does [15:31] ola [15:31] loa [15:32] ola [15:32] ryanakca, because LVM adds management complexity, and not much value on a desktop configuration [15:32] !pt | DART [15:32] DART: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [15:32] la [15:32] ops, was for ryoohki ^ [15:32] dosent redhat default to a lvm setup? or was that some other disrto.. [15:32] joaopinto: not it adds flexibility and control [15:32] ola [15:32] Hello, i am using Amarok in Lynx. I can see tray icon visible but when i click on it, the basic functions of the tray have improper display. When i log in KDE, Amarok works perfectly with proper tray functions display but why not in GNOME? [15:32] ryoohki, it hads the fliexbility and control that you need on a server, not on a desktop [15:32] joaopinto: it's not harder in any way [15:33] Dr_Willis: logged back in and was not asked for my login password [15:33] joaopinto: I cannot follow your argument (lvm) either [15:33] Dr_Willis: do I have to reboot to make it take effect? [15:33] zetheroo: you did set it for a delay? [15:33] ryanakca, it is more complex from a device management perspective, compared to raw partitions [15:33] joaopinto: there is no diff from a server to a desktop except the graphics interface [15:33] imho, LVM is useless on a desktop, how do oyu use it? [15:34] ryoohki, uh ? my desktop systems don't have external storage or SANs, and they don't get their disk changed/replaced frequently :) [15:34] joaopinto: there is no reason to want flexibility on a server and not on a desktop [15:34] Hello, i am using Amarok in Lynx. I can see tray icon visible but when i click on it, the basic functions of the tray have improper display. When i log in KDE, Amarok works perfectly with proper tray functions display but why not in GNOME? [15:34] zetheroo: perhaps 'sudo service gdm restart' [15:34] I'm running 10.04 with ATi Radeon HD 4200 it seems to be working very well, compiz is working well with cube but in compiz config manager I am not able turn on deformation or 3d windows, I am using the FGLRX driver supplied in the Hardware Drivers Manager [15:34] Dr_Willis: I selected the option that says "Show the screen for choosing who will log in" as opposed to "Login as USER automatically" [15:34] ryoohki, comparing desktop use to server use is non sense :) [15:34] joaopinto: no usb hds? never fill the drive and add another one? [15:34] wish me luck on the dhcp client :) [15:34] hello people:) anybody who runs itunes under wine? I've got some serious errors my screen got black for a while? any suggestions? [15:35] joaopinto: you are being dogmatic - servers are simpler - no graphics card... [15:35] ryoohki, no, the disks I have from 3 years ago suite well my needs, if I need to change I can afford the downtime, unlike on a server [15:35] !appdb | grama [15:35] ryoohki: why should I add an USB drive to an internal HDD? it doesn't make sense... [15:35] grama: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [15:35] Hello, i am using Amarok in Lynx. I can see tray icon visible but when i click on it, the basic functions of the tray have improper display. When i log in KDE, Amarok works perfectly with proper tray functions display but why not in GNOME? Can anyone help here?? [15:35] have got an issue with the MOTD, keeps displaying its self twice, any solution? [15:35] ryoohki: only some versions of itunes work with some versions of wine [15:35] ryoohki, server is a role, not a specification, there are plenty of servers with graphical cards [15:35] sudobash: hmm, i don't know. i can tell you i have a 4850 HD and working here. i can enable those options. don't know if it makes any difference or not that i have a 4850 [15:35] riktking: you could do a 'touch .hushlogin' and not see it at all :) [15:36] HD 4200 is a supped up 3200 I think [15:36] remrot: i have used it to move lvs around [15:36] Dr_Willis: ok the option is actually in Users and Groups ... now I will be asked for a password on login [15:36] ryoohki: if you want to extend an existing volume, you had to resize the filesystem too! Do youreally use ONE filesystem on an internal and USB connected disk [15:36] server and desktop are completely different use cases, they have different requirements from an operational perspective [15:36] Dr_Willis: i like having it tho for when i ssh into it [15:36] zetheroo: what release are you using? heh.. [15:36] ubottu, thnx :P [15:36] Dr_Willis: Lucid [15:36] Dr_Willis? [15:37] zetheroo: you actually DISABLED the users password then in user/griups? [15:37] it worked! :) [15:37] joaopinto: but generally that's the main differnce [15:37] ryoohki: LVM adds complexity with almost no benefit. On my desktop, I want to use ALL available space from the beginning. I don't want to keep mini-partitions to add them later and risk my existing filesystems by resizing it... [15:37] joaopinto: that and audio [15:37] Dr_Willis??? [15:38] scq: hmm? [15:38] hey guys, i would like to know how to install somethign with apt but NOT let it remove something? [15:38] The following packages will be REMOVED: [15:38] libdb4.6-dev [15:38] ryanakca, sorry but you are completely wrong, a server is not related to the hardware, not on the context we are speaking [15:38] remrot: no risk - i had no trouble [15:38] i dont want that removed? [15:38] lol who was Dr Willis anyway? keeps reminding me of some sit-com [15:38] Dr_Willis: upon installation of Ubuntu you can select whether or not you want to have the system log in automatically - I chose yes for auto login [15:38] there are plenty of servers with desktop hardware [15:38] Dr Willis: Hello, i am using Amarok in Lynx. I can see tray icon visible but when i click on it, the basic functions of the tray have improper display. When i log in KDE, Amarok works perfectly with proper tray functions display but why not in GNOME? [15:38] hi, i made a unique index on a table, when i try to created a new record, with the same index, i get an error(good, cause i dont want to have it), but i get the agly error screen. how could i change this, to show the view. [15:38] joaopinto: duh - of course [15:39] wrong chanel [15:39] joaopinto: servers generally don't provide a multimedia console [15:39] scq: I dont use amarok at all. with kde specific apps theres often features in KDE that dont work all the ways in GNome. not supriseing. [15:39] joaopinto: a cell phone can be a sever... [15:39] ryoohki: just because it worked for you, doesn't mean that it always works! [15:39] joaopinto: ryoohki: gentlemen, perhaps you could take this discussion elsewhere? it has drifted rather off-topic. [15:39] sipior: ack [15:40] take it to #ubuntu-server :) [15:40] when i open virtual box it saying an update is available, but why update-manager not showing that? [15:40] ? any simple way to fix a drive showing as mounted when it's not mounted? [15:40] :o [15:40] Dr_Willis, lol [15:40] #ubuntu-server is also a support channel. [15:40] please how can i read escape sequences with curses functions ? [15:40] remrot: well don't go from fat16 to ext3 because all that complexity and breakabilty is gonna get you [15:40] obscurant1st_: becuse the package manager vbersions have not beenupdated.. the program is checking the vbox homepage versions [15:40] ryoohki, please stop, go offtopic please [15:41] !ot [15:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:41] Dr_Willis, oh, i thought there is something missing in my sources.list [15:41] :) [15:41] obscurant1st_: there might be some alterantive vbox ppas/repos yu could use instead [15:41] all: please how can i read escape sequences with curses functions ? [15:42] is there a way to check and see why cube deformation and 3d windows are not working, when it was working on 9.10? [15:42] obscurant1st_, the virtualbox from repositories does not auto-update [15:42] impi: what are you trying to install that makes it want to remove libdb4.6-dev? [15:42] ryoohki: nonsense [15:42] can someone help me get my sound to work? [15:42] mark___: maybe [15:42] Dr_Willis, after some time my update-manager will show this update right? i mean if it shows after somedays, i dont hv any problem. [15:42] roberto__: i dont know what the problem is [15:42] tried the tutorial [15:42] mark___: show me the link to that tutorial please [15:43] obscurant1st_: ubuntu dosent do rolling updates like that.. the versions of the packages in the repos.. will stay that version untill the next release and you upgrade.

[15:43] joaopinto, actually till the last update for Vbox it was showed by update-manager [15:43] obscurant1st_, oh, I was refering to the vbox notification [15:43] not to update-manager [15:43] obscurant1st_: if you want the latest - use the latest from the vbox homepage. or find a ppa/repo thats updated more often [15:43] mark___: troubleshooting right? are you getting a fail anywhere in it? [15:43] vbox does have self update check, which is disabled on the repository version [15:43] Dr_Willis, but sometime before it used to come automatically, i remember that [15:44] obscurant1st_: 'clamav' has similer things where it wants you toupdate.. but the new versions are not in the repos [15:44] hi, quick question. will crontab work even if the user who created a crontab entry run if logged out or logged in from another account? [15:44] obscurant1st_, only critical fixes are provided after the release [15:44] newer versions do not land on the repository [15:44] obscurant1st_: theres also the backports repo [15:44] onetinsoldier, hey dude...i had to compile php from source so that my gd can work and make reflections, so i give this command: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot and it tells me: Unmet build dependencies: apache2-prefork-dev - when i install apache-prefork it wants to remove libdb4.6-dev and i need this too..

[15:45] crontab jobs always run from a logless process [15:45] Dr_Willis, oh, k i ithink i disabled those [15:45] i see, thanks sipior, joaopinto :) [15:45] punkmexic: the pendrivelinux web site may have sone info on that.

[15:47] yes [15:48] but i dont know how to give the proper argument [15:48] chripher: then make a script to run the mount command and you can run it when you need to mount it [15:48] so i after the command dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot complete i can do: cd .. && dpkg -i php5-gd_5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3_i386.deb which shoudl then fix everything [15:48] it must be something simple.

I tend to use grub2 to boot just the iso files for installing.. and use the usb-creator tool to make peristant install setups. [16:26] chripher: the force is with them who read... [16:26] ActionParsnip: I have jockey too. What is jockey? and what does sidestep mean :P [16:26] poop23: jockey is System>Admin...>hardware drivers [16:26] Any idea why my swap wouldn't be defined in fstab?

There was the hidpoint software thats an alternative driver/controlls for most logitech stuff but they have no lucid support yet [16:27] poop23: jockey installs video drivers. by sidestep i mean: don't use it. just install the package yourself and stop using the dumb gui as most times they just dont work [16:27] I'm a vi user, but in 10.04 vi doesn't know python syntax, and vim isn't installed.

[16:28] yes i have make persistant installs with usb creator... [16:28] Dr_Willis: actually disgard the mouse, it's mostly about xautomation [16:28] remrot: should I make a new passphrase or use the one I got from my remote ssh accoount [16:28] bad_alloc: No idea on remapong the windows key. :) never used xautomation either [16:28] !info xautomation [16:28] remrot: ive never had an joy with jockey, just had me running in circles. i took the issue into my own hands and got the gold.

[16:28] chripher: if you want automatic login, don't use a passhprase at all! but make sure to keep the key safe [16:28] i was expecting to have one iso with persistent install and the other ones like livecd [16:28] bonez2047: They're already out. [16:28] http://hoopajoo.net/projects/xautomation.html [16:28] demonspork: just add a line like this: "UUID=ae827a31-.....-4711 none swap sw 0 0" and "sudo swapon -a" [16:28] bonez2047: err.. last month? :) [16:29] bonez2047: for future referance the 'version #' is actually the date of release.

What now? :P [16:29] remrot: yes I understood the very safeness but I do not understand how to happen [16:29] thanx for your patience Dr_Willis [16:29] ActionParsnip: yeah, did that too with all other Ubuntu versions, bu did not work with lucid. Yesterday, somebody was on this channel with the same problem... [16:29] thanks.. I overlooked it I guess [16:30] poop23: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [16:30] Pici: can I upgrade to the 10.04 desktop just as with server or lts? [16:30] chripher: just enter nothing (press return) when asked for teh passphrase [16:30] poop23: will give you the 195 driver [16:30] roberto__: nothing :( [16:30] Does anyone know what I could do apart from reinstalling the whole OS to resolve my compiz issues? I've been fighting for a week now to get the framerate back up to what it was in Karmic, Lucid alpha and beta. I've gone from smooth animations to really, really bad fps.

I've tried reinstalling nvidia-current, tried the older ones, tried going thru all the settings manually and even impor [16:30] roberto__: ill try #10 now [16:30] punkmexic: i may try later to see if i can get it going.. but i would not be suprised if it cant work. Ive never heard of anyone booting off the cd either adn having a persistant/save/home on a hard drive/pendrive either.

[16:49] remrot: what you need [16:49] poop23: the kernel is supported, you are just missing the kernel headers, you may have to hunt and find the deb for the headers [16:49] hi im installigng ubuntu on my laptop, but just realised that my internet runs off a usb dongle [16:49] poop23: « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [16:49] chripher: a break [16:49] mark___: in # 12 of that thread is a solution but it is log and complicated [16:49] ok, I have just installed ubuntu 10.04 and I have a VGA lead going from my VGA out on my graphics card to my TV. . if I go into Nvidia X Server Settings I can see two displays there but I cant get the desktop to show up .. what am I missing here?

I have likely around 150 gb of stuff I need to be able to upload, while reformatting and reloading win xp and then ubuntu, so I can then grab that stuff back from the cloud space [16:50] server_side: which dongle do u use? [16:50] zege, 3 mobile its a uk network [16:50] server_side: which one you are using? [16:50] erUSUL: i should be lol. I thought i'd upgraded. How do I check? [16:50] poop23: you are the one that should now... we can only guess [16:51] poop23: not sure, maybe thats a thing, boot to the later kernel and you should be ok [16:51] Name of service provider? [16:51] Pici: I am reading about ubuntu's cloud offering but see nothing about $$.. [16:51] agronholm - yea I have done [16:51] ermm let me double check [16:51] server_side: not the network, the modem is interessting. [16:51] Arimoto: close out the update-manager. try running it as... sudo update-manager -c ...see if that helps [16:51] poop23: you couldn't choose a different name next time you log in, could you? :) it's really botehring me [16:51] poop23: make sure you have the linux-image nstalled. « sudo aptitude install linux-image » [16:51] server_side: oh. [16:51] its just a usb dongle, you need the actual make of it? [16:51] server_side: ubuntu brings for nearly all european networks the configuration. We should look at the hardware-driver [16:51] roberto__: Why does that bother you? lol [16:51] so i'm curious, where'd my volume control applet go after the dist-upgrade? it's missing from my tray and my sound is a LOT lower than it was [16:52] bonez2047: You may want to ask in #ubuntuone, I don't use their service so I don't really know what it offers.

[16:52] agronholm - ok you are right, its disabled.. you can click on it to enable it but there doesnt seem to be a way of saving the changes [16:52] there is a Save to X configuration file button [16:52] Kingsy, you're right -- that blows [16:52] yes [16:52] erUSUL Which kernel image do i need? the latest? [16:53] Kingsy, doesn't work [16:53] but I have done that and it still doesnt seem to save [16:53] server_side: few of USB Dongles have an windows based Network manager as an firmware, It is an worst part of it. [16:53] Hi can anyone help me to get internet connection to my ubuntu computer? [16:53] yup :S [16:53] agronholm - any ideas how to get it going? [16:53] server_side: which model is it? it should be written on the backside of the dongle [16:53] poop23: it is good to run the last aviable kernel (security) [16:53] onetinsoldier: that worked, thanks for the help. [16:53] Kingsy, can't you even get an image out of the second display? [16:53] k brb [16:53] nope.. [16:53] Kingsy, that I can do, it's just that the settings can't be made permanent [16:53] Arimoto: cool. you're welcome. enjoy [16:54] Kingsy, did you set the second display's configuration to twinview?

Im using 10.04 [16:57] [16:57] poop231: No, and that's probably why it doesn't load (i was confused to find a menu.lst file and concluded that the confusion caused the developers to switch back to using it, lol) [16:58] kingsy, have you tried switching to a lower resolution for that display [16:58] Kingsy, if you can't get it to work, you could toss out the proprietary driver, although you'll lose 3D support [16:58] hey My Ubuntu didnt play any sounds [16:58] How do I rebuild my grub menu? [16:58] agronholm - ahh it works now.. I turned the res down [16:59] poop231: sudo update-grub2 [16:59] agronholm - hmm so how do you o about getting the settings saved?

[17:06] Hmm I typ in my MAC-address but then i dont rly know what to do? [17:06] danny__: for all files in a specific directory, open terminal, cd thedirectoryname , then run the command ' prename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' * ' [17:07] danny__: Yes, what Dr_Willis and erUSUL stated are a correct way of doing that. [17:07] erUSUL: That is weird. my menu.lst file has the .32 kernel in it but my grub.cfg does not, so the grub.cfg seems to be the one getting loaded. lol [17:07] danny__: and hr spend reading a bash tutoral or 3 is well worth the effort.

[17:09] erUSUL: yea. the man page sort of skips over the history. [17:09] from karmic to Lucid [17:09] llutz: heh.. everything is set to 0. and yes, it's active [17:10] man page for rename needs to givbe an example of converting spaces to _ also :) that and case seem tobe 90% of my renamning needs [17:10] can someone please help me to get internet connection? I use wire but nothing happens... please [17:10] i use ubuntu 10.04 [17:11] iNood2001: Are you using the wire correctly [17:11] Dr_Willis: "prename 's/ /_/' *" probably works [17:11] where is the xorg.conf file located? [17:11] Yes I do [17:11] Dr_Willis: maybe you have to scape the _ [17:11] Dr_Willis: "prename 's/ /\_/' *" [17:11] hai === weebinn is now known as xbwee [17:11] erUSUL: yes. its never as easy as you think the first time. :0 gotta hate those nasty spaces [17:11] frxstrem: /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. But xorg.conf isn't required anymore in new versions of X [17:12] new to ubuntu got w7 dualboot and I had internet connection then i rebooted and internet connection where gone... Im using 10.04 [17:12] benkevan: okay, thanks :) [17:12] iNood2001: Are you supposed to be getting DHCP? anything else on the configuration? [17:12] benkevan: where does X get its config from then? [17:12] LzrdKing: udev [17:12] LzrdKing: it uses run-time detection of hardware capabilities [17:12] everytime i reboot, i can't login, it says "unable to read ~/.profile". what could it be? [17:12] in theory ... [17:12] For other renameing fun check out 'qmv' in the 'renameutils' package. With it you can get a list of file names in a text editor.. you then edit/change as you like.. then when you exit the editor - it renames all teh filenames according to your changes. :) [17:13] cipher42: Upgrading is done by the numbers, i.e. 7.04-7.10-8.04-8.10-9.04-9.10 and so on, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:13] 9.10 to 10.04 [17:13] nucc1: Create a .profile [17:13] * erUSUL notes [17:13] tsimpson: so you can't override what it detects?

[17:13] cipher42: Thank you, this link explains it: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:13] LzrdKing: yes you can use a xorg.conf file [17:14] Night all.. [17:14] LzrdKing: you probably can, but it's now all cryptic and mystical [17:14] .... [17:14] what a big help [17:14] re [17:14] tsimpson: xorg.conf isn't THAT cryptic [17:14] LzrdKing: it is supposed to use files from /etc/udev/rules.d or /etc/xorg.conf.d but that won't work in all cases [17:14] hi there [17:15] Can someone help me out with my resolution?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:16] ok ok [18:16] :) [18:16] I found a thread of the forums about it but I don't know how get into the grub menu anymore. [18:16] so what's the information I have to write?

[18:18] ActionParsnip: I think the problem may have to do with my earlier profile in my home folder. When I installed, I think Ubuntu Lucid is still using that old gconf profile.

[18:20] gvallarelli, check here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571417 [18:20] gvallarelli, looks like your bug, and fixed, but you may not have the updated version (or something) [18:20] noric: this is what I get when I run nautilus in terminal [18:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/432341/ [18:20] ActionParsnip: Still the same. How do replace the current gconf profile with the default? [18:21] gvallarelli, yeah, check out that link I sent. It looks like this may have happened to people when they left "show_desktop" unchecked (not sure where the option is, though) [18:21] thanks you noric [18:21] gvallarelli, btw try typing nor and it will autcomplete noric, [18:21] Ah, I think I got it.

[18:30] dbum: yep [18:30] camilla_Nilsson_, remembering my java days, I think the "java" program is used to execute java code that has already been compiled. In this case, you would "javac test.java", and then "java test" to launch the "test" class" [18:30] hm... :/ [18:30] Does anyone know if the recent update to grub2 fixes the problems with fakeraid?

Issue is [18:34] camilla_Nilsson_, Just a question of learning to use java correctly. [18:34] Mathuin: Samsung slide (m40) [18:34] dbum: what's the apt-get command to reinstall? [18:34] camilla_Nilsson: it's ok [18:34] Noric and Nak, Nak solved my issue lmao [18:34] edmund: the command "ln" is used to create symbolic links. The command "rm" can delete them. You'll want to delete the existing link, then create a new link. You will have to do this as root most likely, so you may have to learn about the command "sudo". All of these commands have manual pages. Good luck! [18:34] camilla_Nilsson_, ok, cool. .. what he said : D [18:34] yes noric _ i am learning ;-) [18:34] thanks Mathuin [18:34] camilla_Nilsson: try to write a bigger program in java ; hehe [18:34] camilla_Nilsson_, java source code *.java -> javac -> java byte code *.class -> java [18:34] want to thank you both!

[18:35] purvesh, launch upgrade manager, look for "Distrubution Upgrade" at top of GUI [18:35] purvesh, o, no idea [18:35] Mathuin: where will the cdfecord symbolic link be stored?- so that I can delete this file? [18:35] purvesh: Put the cd in while you're running Ubuntu.

Can somebody point me to a simple application that will attach itself to the trayer and will support pulseaudio? [18:36] never mind found it [18:36] purvesh: You burned it to CD? [18:36] i spent like hours googling...now i came here and spent 10 mins hehe, lovely channel [18:36] edmund: "whch cdrecord" tells you [18:36] hmw: thanks [18:36] dAnon : try unetbootin [18:36] which [18:36] hello, I have acer timeline 8571 with intel 5100agn wifi chip. It works with G speed, but not with N speed. dmesg shows "iwlagn 0000:01:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 802.11a channels" and misses N channels. I'm using freshly installed Lucid Lynx. How can I get wlan working with N speeds? [18:36] camilla_Nilsson: try a Lucid Lynx [18:36] dAnon, certainly!! Might I suggest an easier approach? You can install ubuntu as an application inside windows. If you don't like it, you can get rid of it in Add/Remove Programs. [18:37] Pici, i had done Before also from ISo but i forgot the command . i have to mount it then i have to type command at terminal [18:37] edmund: the link is somewhere on your path. 'which cdrecord' will tell you what file comes up for that name. Here it's /usr/bin/cdrecord. Using the long form of ls on that file -- ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord -- shows that it is a symbolic link. [18:37] dAnon: you can put ubuntu iso onto usb...bios has to support booting from usb though [18:37] dAnon, after installing Ubuntu inside windows (like a regular program), you simply restart your computer and are immediately presented with the option to boot into Ubuntu instead of Windows. [18:37] Hi, i'm looking for someone who's been able to generate catalyst package for ATI HD5830 . It's seems i'm the only one to own that crapy graphic card !

[18:38] chybeck, Have you tried Envy? [18:38] dAnon:try http::/linuxliveusb.com [18:38] Nak_ thats what I am using i think [18:38] dAnon, Yes, nothing will be screwed up, installing Ubuntu into windows is designed not to disturb anything at all. I recommend it over the usb key because the "BIOS" stuff the other people are talking about can be a bit confusing. [18:38] camilla_Nilsson: nice, contiue yor work in java [18:38] since which version does ubuntu use upstart ? [18:38] I assumed to create the symbolic link it would be 'ln cdrecord /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord' but it seems I was wrong. what am I doing wrong? Thanks. [18:38] will get back to it now, cu all next time :) [18:39] noric, so all I need to do is just download 'normal' ubuntu and install it like some program? [18:39] cul8eralig8er [18:39] costre > envy still exists ? i'm going to try . [18:40] no envy doesn't exist anymore [18:40] sup everyone [18:40] <`Panda> yo, does anyone know if this is common for chrome? http://i44.tinypic.com/23kawbc.png [18:40] dekroning, upstart was introduced with Karmic 9.10 [18:40] dAnon, download "normal" Ubuntu 10.04, the *.iso file. Load the iso file by either a) burning it to a dvd, or b) using a virtual drive manager like Daemon Tools. Once you have done this, double click on it like you'd install any video game. The option to install "Inside Windows" or "As a Windows Program" will become available. [18:40] which msn client is the best for ubuntu :?

[19:34] KaiForce: yes [19:35] in /etc/default/apport enabled=1, but it still isn't getting anything [19:35] helios_: it works sporadically, so what can the keymap have to do with it? [19:35] LucidGuy: i haven't done any bash scripting in so long i don't remember any of it really, but i don't see any 'exit 0' at the end there. might want that [19:35] Just trying to offer a suggestion...busy channel guess I missed the 'sporadic' part...sue me. [19:35] exiting is not my issue .. its getting it to continue [19:36] Anyone know how to fix DNSSET? [19:36] hi, I'm having a few problems with my microphone -- when I speak I can hear myself through my speakers, but it's not working with soundrecorder or skype [19:37] Mike1: By sporadic do you mean they'll work and then stop mid-use, or they'll work on boot but the next boot they wont? [19:37] helios_: the first thing [19:37] LucidGuy: is it possible that the "ssh" command is not returning control? May need "call" or something like that before the SSH? [19:38] Anyone know how to fix dnsset? or reinstall it? [19:38] chun1: have a look into alsamixer [19:38] hello at all... does somebody know why arista transcoder does not recognise some plugin to convert my movies? [19:38] hi, does somebody know syntax of yaml-file? [19:38] chun1: and install pavucontrol and while skype or soundrecorder run you should be able to assign them the microphone in there [19:38] Mike1: Any common action that causes it? Opening/Using a certain program, etc.? [19:38] helios_: no [19:39] helios_: it also happened in GDM once [19:39] helios_: and in TTY [19:39] which makes me assume a kernel bug or something like that [19:39] What kind of laptop? [19:39] anyone using intel 5100 wlan chip with Lucid (iwlagn module)? I'm unable to get it to N speeds... [19:39] Asus EeePC1005HA-M Netbook [19:40] :( Don't have any of those around I could try to recreate the issue with. [19:40] Does it have a function lock on it? [19:41] helios_: it’s very widespread so there should be bugreports … but I just found one descriping a bug where the whole keyboard and/or touchpad freeze [19:42] I see some changes in ubuntu that may lead in the future that gnome will be different from ubuntu gnome will canonical host it's own fork of gnome in the future ???? or what ? [19:42] Mike1: your laptop have a function lock on it? I had a laptop with a hardware function lock key, easy to accidentally engage it. [19:42] helios_: no, nothing like that [19:43] :( [19:43] Does somebody use Arista transcoder? [19:43] helios_: it only occures since the latest RC of Lucid [19:43] helios_: with Karmic and all the lucid betas before it worked [19:43] helios_: I even did a complete reinstall [19:43] Did the lucid betas use the same kernel version? [19:44] Mike1: RC of lucid? it is released [19:44] or is there a diff version for netbooks? [19:44] KaiForce: I of course constantly upgrade [19:45] helios_: i think so [19:46] helios_: bug fix-releases etc. have occured since then of course [19:46] Anyone have experience of installing RAID0 in the new 10.04 Ubuntu? [19:46] helios_ how do I run !control? [19:46] I am just installing the proprietary nvidia drivers on my parents' pc, prior to lucid I tried this and it made it impossible to get a working X session and I ended up reinstalling, if it fails to work correctly, how could I disable it from the commandline? [19:46] I cant get it working, it feels like something is wrong... [19:46] Does the sun jdk (via the 'Software Center') include the jre, or must I get that separately? [19:47] Mike1: Damn I'm at a loss... [19:47] helios_: me too [19:47] helios_: i’ve searched and guessed for hours [19:47] helios_: and hurted my hand by slamming it :D [19:48] Mike1: LOL Yeah I just did that when I tried to upgrade my desktop to Lucid....killed grub now I gotta download and burn the ISO. [19:48] if i use usb-creator on a thumb drive does it have to use the entire disk or can i create a partition for just that? I ask because I have an 8gb drive and only require 2gb for the install stuff. I would like to partition it and have one 6gb partition for storing files etc. [19:48] What program can I use to record my screen? I want to make a video tutorial. [19:48] Roasted, a camcorder :) [19:48] i just started using ubuntu ;) its very good ;) [19:48] jcrawford: propably, but you could do the work of usb-creator manually too :-) [19:48] Hi all! I upgraded to lucid and now gnome freezes randomly. I am suspecting compiz fusion. Has anyone else had this same issue? [19:49] jcrawford, false. There's a program to record what's on my screen. I just forget the name. [19:49] Daniel0108: Yes it is :) Glad you converted! [19:49] Mike1, i have no idea how to do that :) [19:49] Roasted, i know i was joking [19:49] Hola???

Can I disable this? [19:52] Hi all! I upgraded to lucid and now gnome freezes randomly. I am suspecting compiz fusion. Has anyone else had this same issue? [19:52] how hard is it to hit google when you are asking what app should i use to do this [19:52] hi, i have a problem with lucid on a thinkpad t60, the laptop just hangs (keykeyboard or mouse) and sometimes it happens at startup (the gnome welcome sounds keeps repeating) trying the alt. sysrq skinny elephant trick does not work either (no keyb). any ideas on how i can track this down? [19:52] you know how many RTFM responses I have gotten hahaha [19:52] jcrawford: Because thats not the purpose of this channel. [19:53] my window controls do not appear on bootup. compiz & and compiz --replace work after bootup! How do I get these commands to run on bootup? [19:53] Somebody please help me fix Lucid, I am missing the archive for dnsset [19:53] fbdystang: have you tried disabling compiz just to see if that is the issue? [19:53] Pici, so spoonfeeding is the purpose? [19:53] anyone using intel 5100 wlan chip with Lucid (iwlagn module)? I'm unable to get it to N speeds... [19:53] hii [19:53] jcrawford: i’ll just explain it to you [19:53] hello [19:53] helios_, KaiForce, I will try disabling and see [19:54] IngeniousHax: Reinstall maybe? [19:54] fbdystang: Intel driver? [19:54] helios_: I have tried, it says it cant. [19:54] IngeniousHax: What is the error? [19:54] okay, maybe I'm missing this in the documentation. Where's the default iptables ruleset stored? I'm used to rhel/fedora where it's in /etc/sysconfig/iptables ? [19:54] helios_: I have a pastebin of what it is, would you like to see it? [19:55] soreau: Hey soreau, u have helped me before :) yes it is an intel i7 [19:55] liamo1: If setting visual effects to something other than none doesn't work, then try adding compiz --replace to your startup applications (in sys>prefs) [19:55] IngeniousHax: Not familar with DNSSET but I will look and try to help! :) [19:55] What is the best option for a DNS server if I'm doing it for the first time? [19:55] helios_:thanks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/432376/ [19:55] thanks soreau [19:55] fbdystang: It's a driver issue. The intel driver is very problematic in lucid [19:55] Evolution: maybe in /etc/bash_completion.d/iptables [19:55] soreau: what's the workaround? [19:56] cosinux: I'm not having any issues with my T60 here. Is this an upgrade or a fresh install of Lucid? [19:56] fbdystang: keep filing bug reports until they fix it? [19:56] elnur: doing what? [19:56] fbdystang: you can also bug folks in #intel-gfx [19:56] good night [19:56] lol wutermelon [19:56] KaiForce, need my own DNS server [19:56] IngeniousHax: There are unmet dependencies [19:56] KaiForce: iptables rules in bash-completion? [19:56] I'm having some kind of issue with LL; I'm connected to my wireless network and can download and visit websites etc however I seem to have issues with any kind of instant messenger. This is solved when using a wired connection. [19:56] that seems inappropriate..... [19:56] soreau: :( I want karmic back [19:57] helios_: How can I go abouts fixing these dependencies? [19:57] Does anyone here know how to adjust a laptop's color temperature? [19:57] Pici: it's an upgrade, i am now grating a startup usb disk to see if the problem happesn from a live usb too. will system logs show anything if a hang like this happens? [19:57] RPG-Master: color temperature? [19:57] elnur: ah, i see. I've used dnsmasq but not on Ubuntu. [19:57] IngeniousHax: Does Update Manager find updates for any of them? [19:57] aeon-ltd: Yeah [19:57] how do I restart gnome panel ? i lost both top and bottom menu.. [19:58] helios_: lemme check real quick [19:58] Evolution: I don't know - i just ran find in /etc and that is what it returned [19:58] RPG-Master: you mean the aleinware LED crap, where leds change accoring to cpu temps? [19:58] have 32 bit need 64 bit should i delete 32 bit first if so how [19:58] KaiForce, heard anything about BIND? [19:58] cosinux: They should, but I suspect that its an upgrade issue. Do you have an ati card in your t60? [19:58] helios_: Says I need a partial upgrade [19:58] lowe [19:58] BIND is the standard but difficult to configure from what I've heard elnur [19:58] KaiForce: yeah. I did that and googled before coming here. [19:58] axisys: killall gnome-panel [19:59] Pici: yes but i didn't install the drivers [19:59] Hi All [19:59] aeon-ltd: No :P http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature [19:59] google seems to suggest that it doesn't have a ruleset by default. [19:59] IngeniousHax: I would begin there, see if you still get the unmet dependencies error. [19:59] KaiForce, ah. ok. thanks for the info. [19:59] helios_: it tried to come back.. but it did not [19:59] helios_: Says I need to manually install them or remove them entirely [19:59] Evolution: crap, i just put a Lucid box on the net this morning :( [20:00] KaiForce: I'm currently reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [20:00] cosinux: Well, my T60 has a radeon x1400, which isn't supported by the fglrx driver anymore, only the open source one. But if you never installed fglrx, there shouldn't be any potential issues. [20:00] Evolution: if you want a solid configuration tool for iptables, i'd install Shorewall and not look back [20:00] helios_: the external view have been pretty unstable .. keep changing resolution to lower display for my external and even laptop monitor [20:00] helios_: I do not have a ~/sbin [20:00] IngeniousHax: have you tried installing from source not using aptitude? [20:01] helios_: wonder if compiz and lucid's gnome might have some cnflicts [20:01] are there still problems with alternate and usb stick? [20:01] axisys: im not sure, has it ever been there? what if you reboot? [20:01] hi all could someone help me as im new to this site. does anyone know how to solve issues with star view boxes [20:01] Pici: it has now booted from usb, i'll check the syslogs on my hard disk and report back :) [20:01] helios_: it has always been there.. until the upgrade to lucid it has become unstable [20:02] IngeniousHax: what makes you think you should have a ~/sbin ? [20:02] !hi | Guest2686 [20:02] mmm no bot¿ [20:02] helios_: reboot fixes it .. but i doubt reboot is necessary.. there might be a better fix for this issue [20:02] IngeniousHax: are you trying to update to Lucid? where'd you get the 'dnsset' package? [20:02] hello could someone help me? when i boot the ubuntu 10.04 disc it doesn't work i get error_code+0x73/0x80 [20:02] KaiForce: yeah, I tend to be an old school 'vim foo' guy. [20:03] axisys: I was just wondering if it restored on reboot... [20:03] i have posted a screen shot on the forum if that would help [20:03] bot just pinged out...

[20:14] I'm getting "Unable to connect to security.ubuntu.com" when I run 'sudo apt-get update' .. I'm going through a proxy, which I specific in Preferences->Network under Synaptic and in the environment variable http_proxy. [20:14] does anyone here use thunderbird instead of evolution [20:14] anass: OK. Sounds like you got your Ubuntu system entered into the NTBootLoader config (BOOT.INI in Windows) but not GRUB.

[20:18] gunther44: yes. [20:18] gunther44: but sometimes their del key behaves like backspace, and sometimes you have to hit "fn" to make it behave like del [20:18] gunther44: What I said above. Linux uses caching and buffers aggressively to avoid hitting disk. If you want to find what programs are actually using memory, look at top and ps, realize that the picture's a bit muddied by swap and shared memory. [20:18] Karsten: maybe so, but I cannot access this one with usb, it will charge though, but Ubuntu doesn't detect it when plugged in [20:18] hola [20:18] running lucid on a W500 - ati drivers updated - left my screen blank - any ideas? [20:18] Striking7: that key combination is disabled i believe, or it was changed¿ [20:18] gunther44: If you're concerned about performance, iostat and vmstat are more useful than 'free'. [20:18] karsten: ok, as soon as i boot into it, i'll take a peek at top [20:19] clonezilla is just finishing up [20:19] jim__: What kind of phone? What events do you see on dmesg and/or /var/log/messages and/or /var/log/kernel when you plug in the device [20:19] gunther44: also look at free [20:19] erUSUL: thanks - reading. [20:19] How do I re-enable the Mail icon in the notification area? [20:20] e1nh4nd3r: add the indicator applet [20:20] * Arimoto suspects he is doing something stupid, but just hasn't realized it yet. [20:20] xangua: How do I do that? [20:20] Failed to run /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk '--open-tab' '2' '--toplevel' '100663334' as user root. [20:20] Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | Whats this mean and how do i fix it? [20:20] Karsten: Samsung m40 I think it is [20:20] e1nh4nd3r: right clic in a clear area of the panel> add [20:20] e1nh4nd3r: Right click on the panel [20:20] Ah... derp. Sorry. x_x; [20:20] wow top is showing load average of 0.54 straight after boot [20:20] erUSUL: works. Thanks [20:20] jim__: That's where to start w/ troubleshooting. [20:21] gunther44: does it linger there? [20:21] Striking7: no problem [20:21] Booting can be that intensive just on its oiwn [20:21] gunther44: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [20:21] Striking7: surprising news ;) [20:21] yeah, rocking up and down around that value [20:22] Any way to fix grub from the 'grub rescue' prompt? [20:22] This tiny script properly reads from the micehosts file and and loops echos each line to the screen. If I replace line #3 with a simple 'ssh root@$host uname -a' the script runs does the first host in the file and exits doesnt follow through with the loop. I guess I need to find out how to stop the ssh portion from exiting when done. http://paste.ubuntu.com/432379/ [20:22] Karsten, is there anything I can do to make it see usb? [20:22] Can anyone answer that issue? [20:22] Thanks ya'll. [20:22] jim__: First you've got to find out how it's being seen. I don't have time to debug for you now. [20:22] probably something so simple [20:22] interesting, can i specify what gets put in the disk cache? [20:23] running lucid on a thinkpad W500 - ati drivers updated - left my screen blank - any ideas? [20:23] karsten: where's BOOT.INI [20:23] Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file. | Whats this mean and how do i fix it? [20:23] anass: boot.ini is a Windoze file... [20:23] Purpley: Heya you are doin VNC right? [20:23] what's the best IDE available on linux ? [20:23] I Know [20:24] Karsten: ok, no clue what you just said, but I will check settings and try.. don't know [20:24] Purpley: I helped ya yesterday, feel free to msg me [20:24] I would like to use two audio output devices simultaneously. I have a usb headset which I use for nearly everything, but would like vlc to output to my speakers at the same time. How can I do this? [20:24] CogitoErgoSam, Yep, I ran xinit on my phone and i think it messed my comp up [20:24] helios_ : I Know [20:24] And now when I run Computer Janitor and Update Manager I get that error message [20:24] LucidGuy: from the guys at #bash http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/089 [20:24] that linuxatemyram is very informative [20:25] karsten: thanks for the link [20:25] Purpley: Normally you shouldn't run xinit. If you want to start new x sessions, startx is a script that includes more initialization and setup before creating an x session [20:25] Has anyone worked out a solution that allows flawless video playback with appearance visual effects enabled? [20:26] CogitoErgoSam, Ahh I didnt know that, so what do I do to go about fixing this [20:26] Purpley: If you want to kill that one you started you can do ps aux | grep xinit, find the process id for the new one, and then run "kill " [20:26] I would like to use two audio output devices simultaneously. I have a usb headset which I use for nearly everything, but would like vlc to output to my speakers at the same time. How can I do this? [20:26] CogitoErgoSam: Purpley or just run « pkill xinit » :) [20:27] erUSUL & Purpley : he probably doesn't want to kill the original session [20:27] srsly, compiz on extra? really? [20:27] anyone familiar with the bug that causes video playback to pause when visual effects are enabled? [20:27] erUSUL, Purpley I think he only wants to kill the new one he started that's causing problems [20:27] erUSUL, hmm .. looks like the answer is in there, just don't see the solution. [20:27] CogitoErgoSam, I just want to keep the current session on my computer [20:28] LucidGuy: use the last trick the one using a high file descriptor ? (given yu are using a while read loop ) [20:28] After installing 10.04 on my system, grub complaints about can't finding some unspecified file. I have 6 hdds, and when installing, my OS drive is listed as sde (normally listed as sda (9.10 had no problems)), i guess this is whats causing the error; i.e. grub not using a(correct) device.map. Is this a known issue [20:28] Purpley, run the console command "who" and see if theres a second screen existing or not [20:29] gunther44: do you know the problem I'm referring to? [20:29] LucidGuy: the faq also mentions using ssh -n switch [20:29] ok, this is wierd. If I do 'sudo bash' and then 'apt-get update' it uses the proxy. If I do 'sudo bash -c "apt-get update"' then it doesn't use the http proxy. The http_proxy is specified in the http_proxy environment variable.

[20:29] Is it possible to output audio to two devices at once? 10.04 [20:29] Purpley, it looks like you only have one session running. You don't need to kill anything because xinit didn't create a new one. [20:30] ma non mi fa lo scandisk [20:30] So then how do i fix this?

My problem is that the Administration->Sound GUI lets me select a single output device. [20:31] noric: select the headset in Skype :) [20:31] Beyecixramd, oic, default speakers and customize the headset [20:31] noric: and the speakers in the soun settings [20:31] Beyecixramd, since use it only for skype and gaming [20:31] yes, noric [20:32] ty ; - ) spent like 20 mins on this lol [20:32] LOL noric [20:32] guys pls help.. i need to install some imp softwares and i have no disk space...

[20:38] can anybody help me on enabling usb on VirtualBox? [20:38] amartinenco: no the one in the repos (ose version ) [20:38] perlmonkey2: The default firewall is UFW; check out this: [20:38] !UFW | perlmonkey2 [20:38] perlmonkey2: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

Which one do I need to install to make it support USB? [20:38] amertineco: the version from the Ubuntu repositories (Open Source Editor) does not have USB support - you will have to downlod the other version from http://www.virtualbox.org/ to get it [20:39] perlmonkey2, you can get the graphical front for ufw with "sudo apt-get install gufw" [20:39] noric: weird, it should appear as a single device [20:39] thx [20:39] buenas tardes, me pueden decir como uso la terminal, gracias [20:39] !es | Uxa [20:39] Uxa: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

I use empathy just for IRC, but I find that after awhile I can't click on a person in my contact list to open a chat window. It just becomes unresponsive. Also sometimes the messages that appear top right are clickable, othertimes they aren't. [20:48] when i scroll up in nautilus it gets all messed up?? sum1 could help?? [20:48] Beyecixramd: No worries, figured most people tried the obvious first, but I see thats not the case for most questions ;) [20:48] helios_: so you're not using Compiz?

[20:51] imanc: If you like empathy for IRC because of the notifications, there are plugins for xchat that can do notifications, so don't let that keep you stuck on empathy [20:51] CogitoErgoSam: yeh, as I said I only use it for MSN. I use another client for IRC. I thikn I just need to get another MSN client [20:51] joaopinto, I successfully launch microphone_config with /dev/mixer1 present. Within microphone_config, the mixer list contains only mixer1 and not /dev/mixer. Clearly your Permission Denied error is related. [20:51] helios_: /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/ [20:51] CogitoErgoSam: I am currently using SMUXI for MSN, which seems OK. May look at xchat tho. [20:51] helios_: i used the search function, searching for [20:52] imanc: got it, just wanted to mention the plugins in case that was your primary reason for wanting to get empathy working [20:52] ty [20:52] CogitoErgoSam: would xchat manage MSN stuff, or is it purely an IRC client? [20:52] imanc: IRC only [20:52] ahh [20:52] I'm definetelly on IPv6 :) [20:53] imanc: if you want a multiprotocol instant messenger, try Kopete, Pidgin or Empathy [20:53] tbh, I think empathy is the only thing about ubuntu now that is causing me some problems. Hm. [20:53] so what about atom n270? what is the right image for it? [20:53] imanc: possibly use pidgin ? [20:53] diskin: the n270 is 32bit [20:53] diskin: you can use the regular 32bit iso [20:54] diskin: hmmm why don't you give a try at Moblin? it's specifically designed for netbooks with Atom processors [20:54] diskin: also referred to as i386 [20:54] h00k, thanks. [20:54] bastid_raZor: yeh, just grabbing it now. Then my life will be perfect. [20:54] diskin: great interface, btw [20:54] joaopinto, any thoughts on the denial of /dev/mixer ? It means I have to have my usb headset plugged in to use my regular mic. But then my regular mic works fine. [20:54] Beyecixramd, I'm not about interface now, I need to boot it and check hardware [20:54] and I need .img, not .iso [20:54] imanc: i still go back to pidgin with every new release. [20:54] ooh... well hmmm... no idea then diskin [20:54] the problem i got is by the bad connection i got . ubuntu forum says [20:55] is there a way to launch terminal action from nautilus rmb menu? custom actions i mean, so that the terminal stays open [20:55] how to convert i386 .iso ti .img? I see img only for arm [20:55] diskin: you can use the iso and unetbootin to put it on a USB device [20:55] !unetbootin | diskin [20:55] joaopinto, I am currently configuring pulseaudio to do combined output to all devices, and prefer my usb headset mic, because cvoicecontrol will read from my regular mic despite what ubuntu's input device is set to. So in about 5 minutes I should have a) voice commands input through regular mic b) skype input through regular headset c) all audio output to both speakers and headset [20:55] h00k, ah yes, thanks! I even have it installed [20:55] bastid_raZor: is it nicer than empathy? [20:55] joaopinto, starting/stopping music already works well with regular (ambient) mic, I only have to speak slightly louder than regular volume [20:55] anyone in here using ubuntu on a mac? [20:56] !anyone | ichristopher [20:56] ask | ichristopher [20:56] ichristopher: I have ubuntu installed on a vmware on my imac; but not as sole OS [20:56] !ask | ichristopher [20:56] imanc: i personally prefer it.. if it is better or not that is debatable [20:56] ubottu is tired today. [20:56] Beyecixramd: the bot his having some issues at the moment :/ [20:56] is there a way to launch terminal action from nautilus rmb menu? custom actions i mean, so that the terminal stays open..., this http://imagebin.org/96616 doesnt do anything visible really [20:57] ichristopher: go ahead and ask your question [20:57] does the OS of choice matter anymore? [20:57] h00k: oooh i see, a spanish bot. He's on siesta :) [20:57] noric, ops, sorry, on the laptop pulseaudio also fails to recognized the mic [20:57] on my desktop config is running [20:57] Beyecixramd: *she [20:57] * on siesta h00k :P [20:57] I thought I did? [20:58] brontosaurusrex, its a multistep process but you can do it this way: in terminal, create a new profile for terminals you want to stay open [20:58] ichristopher: yes some people use ubuntu on mac [20:58] what's a good Ubuntu network monitoring tool? [20:58] how do I check if cd was burned correctly? [20:58] Has anyone encountered an issue in Lucid where you try to remove a panel icon in Gnome using "Remove from panel" on the right-click content menu, and nothing happens? [20:58] CogitoErgoSam: ok, and then? [20:58] there is no check option that I can see [20:58] o kurwa [20:58] spartan7: you can compare the MD5sum [20:58] ichristopher: I had it on a mac mini before [20:58] Lasivian: what do you want to monitor ?

Can I get root using the live option from the install CD? [21:00] joaopinto, restart rq [21:00] erUSUL: thanks [21:00] CogitoErgoSam: ok, did that [21:00] CogitoErgoSam: you got NetworkManager to work in jaunty or later?

Go ahead and ask your question all on one line, if anyone knows, they'll try to help you out [21:01] I can't get S.C.O.U.R.G.E. 2 to work [21:01] Question. Why doesn't dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg do what I'd expect it to do? For that matter, how come I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [21:01] pidgeon rocks and is lovely - thanks guys [21:01] Sebboh: because xorg.conf hasnt been necessary for 2 years [21:02] Sebboh: and reconfiguring xserver-xorg hasnt modified xorg.conf in 3 [21:02] brontosaurusrex, then you'd make scripts to launch your different programs like this: "gnome-terminal --window-with-profile= -e " [21:02] where should I install games that are not handled by the package manager? /opt/ or /usr/local/games? [21:02] Sebboh: xorg.conf doesn't exist by default anymore, but it will read configurations if you manually make one. [21:02] imanc: Pidgin* in fact [21:02] brontosaurusrex, that will launch the programs inside consoles that, by default, will not close [21:02] :( [21:02] Beyecixramd: haha, yeh :) [21:03] Arimoto, sure, just use the live CD to correct the sudoers file. You shouldn't have any trouble mounting the root filesystem of the broken machine--you'll be root on the liveCD without problems. [21:03] 10.04 - How do you listen to the mic input? It isn't a hardware issue as it works in os x 10.6.3 and win7 but I can't seem to find the option or setting to route mic input to my headphones (for recording purposes) [21:03] i am denied permission to scourge2.sh [21:03] even if running it through terminal as root [21:03] ... [21:03] Upgrade: chmod +x scourge2.sh [21:03] CogitoErgoSam: ok, cool, so this need to be a script? cant just stuff that into that action configurator? [21:03] Upgrade: do not run it as root [21:04] h00k, maco, how can I generate a skeleton xorg.conf? Or dump the automatic configuration to a file? [21:04] any idea on how to kill NetworkManager on 10.04 ? [21:04] Sebboh: Xorg -configure [21:04] ok i typede it in [21:04] waiting for it to work [21:04] theseb: i installed it.. but never used it.. could you guide me through the steps.? [21:04] Sebboh: you have to stop/kill X first [21:04] Is this a bug or what but I installed window-picker-applet to 10.04 (finally got it working) but now it shows also the other screens' windows [21:04] brontosaurusrex, I'm just not sure that the menu program will let you specify the profile for the terminal the program opens in [21:04] chmod +x /home/aseibz/scourge2/scourge2.sh [21:04] <[fade]> hi, i got an interesting problem [21:04] nothing happened.... [21:04] brontosaurusrex, but by launching a script that THEN opens a terminal you can [21:05] CogitoErgoSam: great, thanks [21:05] chmod +x /home/aseibz/scourge2/scourge2.sh [21:05] Upgrade: if there are no errors, then it worked [21:05] nothing happened.... [21:05] Sebboh: iirc it dumps the xorg to /root/ [21:05] <[fade]> i was updating packages and did force stop of the laptop, now my user id is in group ID, nothing else [21:05] its a game [21:05] Upgrade: now try to launch it [21:05] Noobsauce_: used to be in the mixer app, it's been greatly simplified. but you could try adding the mic input to the playback mixer using alsamixer from a terminal [21:05] ok [21:05] Upgrade: if you're brought back to a prompt, you have successfully made that file executable [21:05] <[fade]> i can sudo, i cant do anything, if i try to use recovery kernel, it gives me errors with mounting [21:05] I've just installed xchat how can I find the directory in order to change the theme ? I can't see it [21:05] Upgrade: now that it's executable, you can ./run it [21:05] <[fade]> i managed to setup root password and edit sudoers file, but as soon as i try to restart the machine [21:05] hmm ok [21:05] <[fade]> i get kernel panic, and no files are written [21:05] wait [21:06] Upgrade: a lot of times if nothing happens in Linux that is a sign that everything that was supposed to happen did :) [21:06] wrapster: nm-applet -sm-disable to start...it doesn't work for me...does it work for you? [21:06] Brandano, awesome I should have thought of that - I'll work on alsamixer next Cheers! [21:06] [fade]: long story short, boot from a liveusb or livecd, create a chroot, map the filesystem to the chroot, run an update [21:06] SWEET IT WORKED [21:06] theseb: and there is no GUI for this/ [21:06] Thank you IdleOne [21:06] wrapster: see if that works first [21:06] [fade]: it's much more complex than that, but essentially that's a way to recover a botched OS [21:06] <[fade]> guess for that i will have to have same distro on cd as installed? [21:06] I've just installed xchat how can I find the directory in order to change the theme ? I can't see it [21:07] [fade]: yup [21:07] <[fade]> xchat is in ~/.xchat2 [21:07] i miss Fedora 10 but I could just dualboot lol [21:07] thanks guys === neen is now known as sluther [21:07] Sebboh: cool, it worked. I just fixed the mistake in my sudoers file using sudo from Live. [21:07] erUSUL, Thanks. [21:07] Arimoto, no problem. [21:07] hackFr0sT: in nautilus hit ctrl + H to see hidden files [21:07] Sebboh: no problem [21:07] <[fade]> can i use 9.04 live cd to chroot and edit visudo, change root? [21:07] <[fade]> for 9.10 [21:08] hi! every time my laptop idles for some time the screen gets locked. thats ok i guess, but the problem is that for some da*m reason the wifi gets disconnected too. so, how do i make ubuntu/gnome not lock my screen when idleing? :) [21:08] [fade]: sure [21:08] pirx|home: Change that option in the screensaver preferences [21:08] ok thanks ! found it [21:08] pirx|home: System -> Preferences -> Screensaver [21:08] pirx|home: I'd look at how to stop ACPI from turning off the wifi adapter instead :) [21:08] Arimoto, next time, use visudo. :) ([fade] mentioned it just now; I'd forgotten about it.) [21:08] I have an ubuntu virtual machine that I have increased the size of one of the disks, is there a way for ubuntu to see the size change without rebooting? [21:09] <[fade]> weird, i can update the system without asking for my password [21:09] [fade]: because you are root [21:10] <[fade]> no, im not [21:10] [fade]: in the chroot, that is [21:10] <[fade]> i dont have access to allmighty # [21:10] <[fade]> no, i run it as user [21:10] <[fade]> im on the "broken" machine now, i have internet and all, i just dont have # or sudo [21:10] fade, your user has write access to all parts of the mounted file system (which is the root filesystem in another system, not the live CD) [21:10] [fade], have you entered the password in the immediate past? :) [21:10] <[fade]> i broke it good, but thanks for info, i will help [21:11] Well, peace all. Consider +m. :P [21:11] [fade]: I did the whole chroot dance to fix a broken grub install in the past [21:11] Hi..i'm a first timer on this chat, i need help with an easy topic....just quick please...anyone [21:11] <[fade]> i will try it now, hope it works [21:11] * [fade] out [21:11] ahhhhhhh now I suddenly understand the point of visudo! [21:12] MaXiMuS2, just ask. [21:12] Arimoto: makes sure you don't botch the sudoers syntax [21:12] Anyone know much about custom panel icons? === dexter is now known as IAMAHYPOCRITE [21:12] where are empathy's chat files are saved? old conversations [21:13] MaXiMuS2: launchers or indicators? [21:13] launchers [21:13] What's special about them? [21:13] does anybody know how to make a usb hard drive mount on the same point every time it is plugged in? [21:14] MaXiMuS2: you will find all you need for them with the right mouse button [21:14] weez: easiest way is to label the filesystem so it allways mounts in /media/$LABEL [21:14] weez: it should mount to /media/DRIVELABELHERE [21:14] I chose custom png's as icons for them, but they're located on a different partition (NTFS). The partition auto mounts on startup, but my icons try load before the auto mount completes, thus only half of the icons are loaded [21:14] weez: add it to the fstab and specify it by id [21:14] h00k, i prefer to choose the name of the mount point [21:15] Brandano, where do i find its id? [21:15] weez: you can; as i said. label the filesystem [21:15] weez: sure, set the label on the drive, you can use Gparted to do that [21:15] erUSUL: and h00k asre both right, but in my case I did that to have an USB drive mounted in /mnt because it's meant to be permanent [21:15] weez: the disk utility can do it afaik [21:15] since it's on a sheevaplug [21:15] erebus, thanks [21:15] h00k, thanks [21:16] weez: no problem [21:16] MaXiMuS2: the NTFS partition only mounts after X has started, apparently [21:16] Dont think i said that right... sometimes all the icons load, other times some load, sometimes none load..and i think its because the panel finishes loading before the drive mounts...An obvious answer is to move the images to my home drive, but I'd prefer keeping them on the NTFS [21:16] http://www.geek.com/articles/news/dell-laptop-with-ubuntu-leads-woman-to-drop-out-of-college-20090116/ [21:16] MaXiMuS2: so it doesn't automount at startup. To do that it ought to be in fstamb [21:17] *fstab [21:17] hello [21:17] !ot | abstrakt [21:17] abstrakt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:17] Do I need linux-restricted-modules any more? Because its version number is behind that of my current kernel now. [21:17] you can either add the partition to fstab, or move the PNG files. I'd choose the 2nd option [21:17] I have an ubuntu virtual machine that I have increased the size of one of the disks, is there a way for fdisk/parted to see the size change without rebooting? === xiong_ is now known as xiong [21:17] hi, i get an error on boot...something like i have to press S for skipping mounting /proc/usb ...where can i see more about that? [21:18] Whenever I establish or lose -- or even manually break -- a wireless connection, up pops a large black notification box, which can't be dismissed but fades away after some time. Can I disable this? [21:18] could anyone else observed that when we install nvidia drivers the ubuntu takes more time to start up .... is it not possible to use noveau drivers and use extra effects for ubuntu ?????? [21:18] jiffe: tried remounting? [21:18] It does automount, but clearly not fast enough. Though i've automounted in a weird way, I added it in startup-applications to automount using gvfs-mount which works fine, but there must be a way to have it load quicker..i prefer to stay away from the fstab if possible [21:18] Brandano: I have [21:18] Brandano: even unmounted those programs don't see a change in size [21:18] ubottu: tell abstrakt about guidelines [21:19] jiffe: sincerely, I don't know. normally you can't resize a partition if it's mounted anyway [21:19] hi all, I am run Kubuntu 10.04 and today I can not connect on the network with error unmanaged network from network manager. Anyone has an idea on what happen? [21:19] Brandano: it doesn't have to be mounted, I just don't want to reboot the whole machine [21:20] could anyone else observed that when we install nvidia drivers the ubuntu takes more time to start up .... is it not possible to use noveau drivers and use extra effects for ubuntu ?????? === uRock_ is now known as uRock [21:20] jiffe and disk utility still doesn't see the new size?

[21:21] simar: if you want 3D, you need the Nvidia drivers. I am not sure how complete is Noveau support, or how much, if any, it's faster when starting [21:21] Brandano: if I reboot the machine they see the new size [21:21] if you can live without 3D effects, just remove the custom drivers [21:21] network management disabled....how to enable it back? [21:23] is anyone having issues with wireless card dropping in ubuntu remix. [21:23] hey all. no-one seems to be active on the xubuntu channel. anyone care to give me some advice/help? [21:23] I've just upgraded gutsy->hardy->intrepid->jaunty->karmic and I'm removing old kernels. My package linux-restricted-modules-generic is at version 2.6.28.18, yet linux-image-generic is at 2.6.31.21. I want to remove all the older kernels. Is it safe to remove linux-restricted-modules-generic? [21:23] afromark: just ask [21:23] Brandano, can't i have extra effects enabled with noveau ????? [21:24] ok. I'm trying to access a partition left on my hard drive from a previous (other) version of linux. is this possible with xubuntu? [21:24] How do I override autoconf settings?

[21:24] how to enable plug and play so I can access my cell phone for pics and mp3's, phone is Samsung Slyde m540 [21:24] afromark: yes. Not sure how Xfce likes to do mounting, but you can mount from the command line as normal. [21:24] What is the cli method of listing all the "." dot files in /home ? [21:25] ls ~/\. [21:25] ls -a [21:25] Probably [21:25] Scunizi: echo ~/.[^.]* [21:25] joaopinto, done!! awesome!! using padevchooser, I was able to tell pulseaudio to permanently route Skype audio out to my headset. I then selected my external speakers as my default output device. [21:25] xlq: yes, I remove all versions where I remove the kernel too [21:25] <[fade]> thank you guys, chroot did the trick! [21:25] lt -t | egrep ^ [21:25] lt -t | egrep ^. [21:25] good to know, but i'm a bit of a newbie to linux. still havn't got the command line down exactly [21:25] *ls [21:25] xlq: you should be fine removing that package [21:25] guntbert: any idea why linux-restricted-modules-generic doesn't seem to have a later version? [21:26] joaopinto, my default input device is my headset mic, but, cvoicecontrol bypasses pulseaudio and reads from the device directly. This causes my headset microphone to be used for everything *except* cvoicecontrol, exactly as I want it. [21:26] onetinsoldier: OK thanks [21:26] yw [21:26] joaopinto, so now I have ambient music, skype headset, and the ability to speak "stop music" at any time, or "play music" [21:26] Which channel should I use with help for reducing swap file size and changing kernal? [21:26] joaopinto, (and of course, I don't need to speak "play music" into my headset - just into the air, and the regular mic grabs it. [21:26] :) [21:26] xlq that did it.. bcj sorry that didn't. It listed everything but dot files.. [21:26] hey [21:27] this doesn't make sense.. i have a pci wifi card that worked flawlessly in 8.10, just installed 10.04 and the card doesn't work?

How do i configure the laptop to forward ports to the PC? [21:27] how stop proses perl [21:28] how to stop proses perl [21:28] joaopinto, other than that, should just need to fix the config file output, which is a no-brainer for someone who knows C. I'm all iostreams [21:28] poop23, bridge the wifi card & lan card [21:28] Okay, I've got an issue. Wireless scanning causes lag in games. How do I stop the scanning? [21:28] Beej_: usually swap space is in its own partition, so resizing that would require resizing partitions, which should probably be done from a LiveCD environment. If you have more than one kernel installed you can choose which one from the GRUB menu at startup. [21:28] then the router can do the port forwards itself [21:28] joaopinto, that, and make sure microphone_config and model_editor work in xterm with ncurses5 [21:28] grody: What [21:28] hy how can i setup a IBM RSA-II ?

[21:49] noric, IT WORKS [21:49] :) [21:49] any idea why it keeps this phantom process running? [21:50] joaopinto, :D:D!! OK let me share some stuff from hours of tweaking. [21:50] enav: Well for starts gedit isn't bad, there's a lot of plugins and its lightweight. There is also Bluefish which is more of an IDE, and then there's platform-specific programs like MonoDevelop for .NET [21:50] noric: Nope, everything is backed up to the NTFS drive...just want to create a 2nd partition on the NTFS drive without deleting everything on it and then install to the new partition on the terabyte external drive [21:50] anyone know how to manually install/remove Hardware Drivers? [21:50] ok im goign to reformulate my question... hey guys do you know a good app over ubuntu rep to develop web pages??? [21:51] joaopinto, model_editor is pretty straight forward, I have been using 5 voice samples, not sure how high you can go. [21:51] enav: Doing any scripting like php? [21:51] noric, I can work on a proper GUI for the app, the blocking factor is that I no nothing about multimedia/voice recognition, I would not be able to maintain it at that level [21:51] joaopinto, for me, the biggest runtime issue was having to speak very loudly into/near my mic. I solved that by manually tweaking the values in the config [21:51] PlaHPoy: do you happen have apache2 installed? what does this command output? dpkg -l apache2 [21:51] enav: there are lots of editors.. have you tried.. bluefish? [21:52] noric, I am using an ambience microphone but talking very close, the baby is sleeping :P [21:52] !info bluefish | enav [21:52] joaopinto, multimedia/voice is exactly where I fall short. I know more about GUI than ncurses : - (. I don't think the command line/ncurses is unforgiveable. Having working voice control accessible from the main repository would be a great initial victory. [21:52] i want to develop over html, java, php, mysql,,, well basically over LAMP servers [21:52] enav: bluefish (source: bluefish): advanced Gtk+ HTML editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-6ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 1571 kB, installed size 6732 kB [21:52] CogitoErgoSam: don't forget SciTE [21:52] enav: The problem is that was DESIGN and web DEVELOPMENT are two different things. If you are doing DEV and need to compile code to test locally, you need an environment for that [21:52] Ok, well thanks for not answering me, after scolding me about asking for help... im out of here. [21:52] joaopinto, paste ~/.cvoicecontrol/config please [21:52] CogitoErgoSam, gedit is ok for small files... but it chokes on large files. shame since its snippets features is pure win [21:52] enav: bluefish is just an editor afaik.. not a complete IDE if that's what you're looking for [21:52] Let me split my question in two...let's deal with creating a ubuntu ready partition on my ntfs drive without deleting any files [21:52] hey [21:52] airtonix: define big [21:52] hello guys i trying to watch movie through a p2p streaming program but there is error transfer service failure , im using wine to open [21:53] anyone can help me where i can find latest python-protobuf for easy installation? [21:53] Brandano, anything larger than 1000 lines [21:53] airtonix: ok, then try SciTE [21:53] Brandano, i prefer to use geany myself. [21:53] CogitoErgoSam i didnt know taht my friend [21:53] enav: Bluefish might cover most of your bases, but it won't compile or create a local test environment. [21:53] primetime34, it sounds to me like that should work fine, as long as your bios can boot from a usb external. Using a 2nd computer, go through regular ubuntu installer and select the external drive for the installation partition. Prior to that, use Gparted to shrink the external NTFS partition to make room for the new buuntu. [21:53] I have opened 40 MB files with it, on a win32 box with less than 1GB [21:53] what's the best IDE on ubuntu for you ?? [21:54] hackFr0sT, a war with many sides and tides [21:54] !best | hackFr0sT [21:54] hackFr0sT: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [21:54] anybody knows any website where I can download nice terminal profiles ? [21:54] (how do I get bot to pmsg?) [21:54] hackFr0sT: best IDE for what? writing backwards assembler for my embedded cpu? or did you have something else in mind? [21:54] maybe i want something like dreamweaver but i want to get rid of it... in order to use opensource software only [21:54] I've got it hooked up now with gparted open...says "unable to find mount point. Unable to read the contents of this file system [21:54] noric, > [21:55] noric: possibly with @ ? [21:55] enav: Try bluefish, see if it covers all your needs, then look at filling in the gaps I'd say [21:55] very well... thanks for this information guys :) [21:55] hello guys i trying to watch movie through a p2p streaming program but there is error transfer service failure , im using wine to open [21:55] after upgrade to latest ubuntu, at boot i get a message:unable to boot /proc/usb..press s to skyp or mount to retry...do you know something about this problem? where can i see? [21:55] @Slart something like ... universal [21:55] Brandano, im not saying it wont open the files... but when you need to make changes quickly in different parts of the document (which then involves scrolling) it starts to choke and video output slows down and the response to keyboard input seems to slow down too. i don't get this with geany. [21:56] hackFr0sT: well.. since you're being vague I'll give you the standard answers.. emacs or vim .. just don't ask which one to choose [21:56] airtonix: and I don't get this with SciTE. But I am talking about plaintext. Most likely it's an issue with the syntax higlighter [21:56] Problem: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/pTbpdESU Any suggestions? [21:56] ok thanks :p [21:57] joaopinto, to get maximum distance out of the ambient mic, I set Stop Level = Silence Level + 1. I also dramatically reduced Record Level. e.g. my inital vales for Record Level were in the 4000 - 7000 range. I have settled on Record Level = 2000 [21:57] Brandano, i dont think it is. i mean i can run aptana and have intergrated git gui and the interface of aptana is slightly faster in response regardless of file size [21:57] joaopinto, I also find that, if you stress first syllable of voice command, Record Level kicks in, recording starts, and you needn't yell the rest [21:57] noric, someone told me now about gnome-voice-control :P [21:57] Having a weird problem with Ubuntu 10.4 and Mysql. Startup is hanging. I tried to remove and reinstall but the reinstall is hanging. [21:57] joaopinto, so I tend to say STop music [21:57] . [21:57] o/ [21:58] No errors showing up in logs that I can find [21:58] joaopinto, no man! no worries.. gnome-voice-control is crap. the commands/voice are hardcoded. Would you like to open emacs or firefox? anything else? sorry. [21:58] CogitoErgoSam dude BlueFish looks pretty cool [21:58] joaopinto, I spent quite a bit of time hacking about in gnome-voice-control. Making it configurable, like cvoicecontrol, is non-trivial.

[22:01] Marupa, The only pain I have in 64bit is when I accidently download a 32bit deb instead of the 64bit, it's then a simple redownload of the deb. [22:01] Slart, CiscoVPN is a pain! [22:01] noric, see pm [22:01] All right, that brings me to another question. How well do things like Steam work in wine? I see theyhave good compatibility, but do they actually run well? [22:01] Marupa, all you need is to be sure you install ia32-libs [22:01] enav, if you want something like dreamweaver then have a look at aptana [22:01] Brandano: Bah, lamesauce. I assume sudo apt-fget install gnome should do it? [22:01] then all the 32 bit stuff basically works. [22:01] How do I resize an NTFS partition in gparted? [22:02] Trying to add OSX to grub with no luck. Anyone that can lend a hand. Tried root (hd0) chainloader +1 and all that already. [22:02] jfb_h2o: ah.. I've never had to use that.. but sure.. some proprietary stuff might still cause some problems [22:02] hello [22:02] . [22:02] anyone know how to remove apt-get lock? [22:02] airtonix well aptana i don't know dude because it have some weird installation method [22:02] paraplegicpanda: I think it's apt-get install -f , but I'd have to check man [22:02] can I just delete /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [22:02] how can i use my data card as default internet connection before this i am using the lan connection [22:02] enav, reall? i just download the tar.gx and decompress it on my desktop and run the binary [22:02] jfb_h2o: exactly like that. remove it (command is "sudo rm /var ... whatever that path was") [22:03] teknoz: check the link from ubottu, there are commands you can run to update [22:03] enav, there is no installation [22:03] blue_anna, thanks! [22:03] jfb_h2o: as long as you're certain you don't have a package manage running somewhere, yes [22:03] Easy question : Distro upgrading Ubuntu. Will it leave a slower system then a clean install with the same packages installed? [22:03] Brandano: kk [22:03] airtonix thas is what i'm talking about... i want something installed normally over apt or software center [22:03] paraplegicpanda: yep, man tells me that -f is for --fix-broken [22:03] Then= *Than [22:03] onetinsoldier, I don't think so... I was dropped on an ssh connection... [22:04] jfb_h2o: just to prevent anything in the future like this.. look into using screen [22:04] paraplegicpanda: might be overkill, but should work for anything not config related [22:04] bastid_raZor, screen rules! but was not installed yet ;) [22:04] sweet, thx, I'm sure I'll be back if it doesn't work, lol. [22:04] How do I resize an NTFS partition in gparted? It won't let me just click 'resize' [22:04] jfb_h2o: huh? you deleted /var/cache/apt/archives/lock and then you were dropped into an ssh session? [22:04] MPX: don't think so [22:05] Brandano, OK. Thanks [22:05] MPX: upgrade cleans up once it's done [22:05] do someone know why when i scroll up in a nautilus window it all gets messed up????? [22:05] onetinsoldier, no no, I was running apt-get upgrade and my ssh connection dropped... [22:05] primetime34, it needs to be unmounted most likely [22:05] Noric: Gotcha...let me try that. Thanks. [22:05] MPX: it might leave some stray customizations, though [22:05] primetime34, resizing a mounted partition is like changing the engine in a running car [22:05] jfb_h2o: ok, you had an apt-get upgrade going and you deleted /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ? [22:06] MPX: for example the nautilus SVN scripts I had installed [22:06] Yeah, but that's no biggie... [22:06] I was wondering if it's was the same as a Windows upgrade [22:06] Slart: thanks for the info! [22:06] onetinsoldier, now I have deleted it, but the upgrade process was not running any longer... [22:06] MPX: nope [22:06] As far as I'm concerned..when It comes to windows [22:06] A clean install is always the best :P [22:06] MPX: Or no Windows at all :) [22:06] MPX: for starters it usually leaves you with a sensible OS installed [22:06] jfb_h2o: ok [22:07] True on both accounts [22:07] I don't run windows anyhow :D [22:07] ... [22:07] Well, I still have a few games [22:07] I click on unmount in gparted, nothing happens. When I type 'sudo umount /dev/sdb' in terminal it says it isn't mounted. Still won't let me resize [22:07] teknoz: you're welcome [22:07] jfb_h2o: i don't know why your ssh session got disconnected [22:07] Imagine a world where only those that had purchased windows, could use it [22:07] onetinsoldier, timeout [22:07] I suppose I ought to get a Console, but there are no good flight sims for consoles [22:08] Hello I have Ubuntu 10.04 loaded on a removable disk, but it wont let me download xchat, I tried sudo apt-get install xchat and it won't work, can ya help? [22:08] I'm on a shitty VPN our company uses [22:08] Chuck yeagers air combat for the Amiga brand0n- [22:08] My boss is making me learn linux. He tried to make me learn BackTrack 4 Final. but it was too complicated for a beginner like myself and the tools he wanted me to install just wouldn't install. So, when he wasn't looking, I switched to Ubuntu and when he was looking and saw it was different, I just told him I'd changed the theme. [22:08] oops [22:08] Chuck yeagers air combat for the Amiga Brandano [22:08] MPX: flightgear. and IL2 works flawlessly in WinE [22:08] teknoz: lol [22:09] Can anyone help?

With the huge Nagios installation issues yesterday. :) [22:09] Any ideas on how I can resize this darn ntfs drive? [22:09] teknoz: yes [22:09] onetinsolider: Can you help me please if you can? [22:09] primetime34: a gpartedCD === Cain` is now known as Cain [22:10] onetinsoldier: Would it be a good idea to install Nagios BEFORE I upgrade to 10.04 LTS? Or should I just wait out the 2 hours it's going to take for the upgrade process? [22:10] bastid_razor: I can't do it through Ubuntu? [22:10] primetime34: you said 'any' ideas [22:10] primetime34: sure it isn't named something like /dev/sdb1 ? [22:10] teknoz: i'd wait [22:11] onetinsoldier: Aww...ok. Sucks I have a day off tomorrow, otherwise I'd be back to play with Ubuntu some more. :) [22:11] onetinsolider:Hello I have Ubuntu 10.04 loaded on a removable disk, but it wont let me download xchat, I tried sudo apt-get install xchat and it won't work, can ya help?

How can I setup and handle two IPs on the same subnet with a single NIC? [22:13] Slart: It says that it is not in the E file directory. [22:14] Basically saying it is not there.

[22:14] ActionParsnip: hi there [22:14] blue_anna: mhhh what do you mean? [22:15] There must be a command to set an image as the wallpaper. :( [22:15] Slart: Another thing is I don't know how to change my username on ubuntu 10.04 and when I use the sudo command it does not ask me for a password for sudo.

[22:19] um I would have to change on to the CD [22:19] Slart. [22:19] ActionParsnip: let me find you a link to a vid or somthing [22:19] bodom: to be honest I'm not sure if that's still valid, I don't see my wlan0 defined in there.. let me know if it doesnt [22:19] I would change over, but I can't connect here if I do.

I don't recognize any of those errors and as far as I know a regular ubuntu install does ask for your password when you use sudo..

[22:21] ActionParsnip: well i lost my disk and all i have left is a torrented version and i cant find a way to get it to work [22:21] blue_anna: ty for reply, but this case doesn't apply: IPs are on different subnets [22:21] Dizz: actually from the review i'd say platinum, i think its been given gold as it need one config bit extra [22:21] ldleworker: hold on, I am sshing on another box to check the config there [22:21] Brandano, gratzi [22:21] calibre: ubuntu 10.04 is a regular ubuntu install... so it shouldn't be the problem [22:21] hi. I upgrade to 10.04 but sound is gone. [22:21] Dizz: theres even a how to on that page [22:22] ldleworker: it's www-data [22:22] it doesnt work [22:22] ActionParsnip: it doesnt work [22:22] Slart: When it booted it went straight to the desktop, it never asked me to create a profile.

'm looking at http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/02/creating-virtual-ip-addresses-in-ubuntu-the-easy-way/ now and it's for 0.1 and 0.2 [22:22] Brandano, even if that group doesn't exist? [22:22] at least lighthttpd runs on the www-data group [22:22] Its like "expecting" it anyway? [22:22] I see. [22:22] ok, I changed my home linux machine and now I can't SSH in, it says at add the key to known_hosts but the known_hosts file looks like gibberish [22:22] bodom: notice they route the one to the entwork, and the other to the first address [22:22] calibre: if it's the regular desktop install cd you should first get a menu where you can choose to install, try it, check the memory and so on [22:22] Dizz, if you wish to help out gaming on linux, digg this up, even if you have to register http://digg.com/gaming_news/Freezing_Moon_Games/ :-) [22:23] bodom: you can test it out by hand wthout making any permanent changes by just writing the route entry yourself [22:23] calibre: I'm not sure what kind of profiles you are talking about [22:23] DreadKnight: lol i would like to help out but in this case i need help [22:23] ldleworker: I am not sure how the group is created. I'd try it first by just creating the www-data group, and if that isn't enough I'd install and remove an http servere. Either apache or lighthttpd [22:23] Slart: I am talking about the root profile. [22:23] bodom: or maybe you can :) [22:23] hi,how to enable zlib for php5 ,i've already installed php5 [22:23] I suppose I could just delete the known_hosts file but that seems like i'm not learning much [22:23] calibre: ehm.. the root user? [22:23] Slart: I will try again and if I have problems I will come back. [22:24] ldleworker: you may even just want to keep the webserver anyway, since it will work better for static data. And you can reverse proxy on django [22:24] calibre: do that [22:24] Slart: Because on install i was not asked to create a profile. [22:24] Slart: ok brb. [22:24] Dizz, only takes a minute ... [22:24] Brandano, heh, at some point I'll learn apache ;) [22:24] bodom: I'm guessing I can't do it because I've got a wireless and the antenna can only be tuned to a single connection at a time [22:24] Dizz, steam will be available for linux later this year.. and torchlight on steam is pretty cheap [22:24] sudo echo zd1211rw >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [22:24] -bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf: Permission denied [22:24] diabolical@diabolical-fs:/etc/modprobe.d$ [22:24] DreadKnight: to do what exactly?

[22:27] Name141: flwm is waaay lighter [22:27] DreadKnight: buy the humble bundle and make sure to get a portion to the developers [22:27] ActionParsnip: can I get it through the repos ? [22:27] blue_anna: yep, this made me set 2 IPs on the NIC, but now, how to handle them?

[22:29] gigasoft: see this www.linuxatemyram.com ... explains everything [22:30] run top, sort by memory usage and see where it's being wasted [22:30] or simply used. I have 8 gig, it's rarely a concern for me [22:30] Brandano, if it's not too much to ask, can you digg this up? it matters a lot http://digg.com/gaming_news/Freezing_Moon_Games/ [22:30] now i have open XChat and i have used 935 mb and 202 mb of swap [22:30] gigasoft: its a command: top is the command [22:30] I'm still in here?

[22:32] blue_anna: yep, they are UP, but now when I ping host B it takes one of my 2 IPs as source default address. How to tell it to ping using the other address? [22:32] is the only answer to buy more RAM?! [22:32] gigasoft: you really should read the page www.linuxatemyram.com [22:32] gigasoft: the output of top will tell you what is chewing the cpu [22:33] GeekSquid: okay, thanks [22:33] i am copying a few G of data from an ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda4 to an ext4 filesystem on /dev/sda5. i don't expect this kind of operation to be super speedy, but it seems to be way worse than usual - and the jbd2 process is running quite often [22:33] guntbert, yes i read it but that does not solve my problem [22:33] is there any way to speed this kind of thing up? [22:33] bodom: I think -r selects the outbound interface to send from? [22:33] bodom: man ping [22:33] DreadKnight: to be up from 2007 the board is mightily empty...

You can pick a subdomain to point to your IP address, and then install an updater on the host that will periodically update your reference from dyndns with the correct IP [22:40] Name141: lxde is also light but flwm is the lightest i can think of [22:40] et:qw works....but the audio is a bit messed up....but i blame pulse audio for that. [22:40] ahh, OK that's interesting. I wouldn't mind getting a game or two to showcase to my mates - who don't use ubuntu :) [22:40] imanc: depends on the game, most games are made for Windows, so take your guess there xD [22:41] bodom: perfect -- do a "sudo route add -host gateway [22:41] i just upgraded my 9.10 to 10.04, now everything is ...ahum... "messed up". can i install 10.04 from dvd OVER my old linux, so that i keep all my data, but ubuntu kind of resets [22:41] imanc: look at urban terror or penumbra (penumbra isnt free but worth the cash). There are also free games on the repos [22:41] bodom: that will still give you problems if you interact with that other machine in a mixed setting,... like if you ned to interact with it on both ip addresses [22:41] !games | imanc [22:41] imanc: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [22:41] ActionParsnip: awesome! Cheers man! [22:42] bodom: if not, set it and test that it works for you, and then we'll figure out how to make it a permanent change [22:42] ActionParsnip: yeah this seems too 'min' [22:42] <[manas]> i get eror then im trying to install patch package [22:42] anonie: hm, depnds on your partitions [22:42] anyone with a dell vostros 1400? [22:42] bodom: in place of "gateway" write "gw" -- my bad [22:42] does anyone know how to get lirc to work again after suspend [22:42] Slart:When the CD loads it says Try ubuntu 10.4 LTS or install. [22:42] imanc: i used to play WC3, L4D, WoW and even more on ubuntu, using wine :) [22:42] blue_anna: It's EXACTLY what I was looking for! TY VERY MUCH! [22:42] Name141: lxde doesn't need any extra bits adding to the sessions menu :) [22:42] Slart: So I guess when I hit try, its like a trial. [22:42] bodom: ok, you have to make that route permanent [22:43] i have a problem where I put my desktop into standby mode and instead of going into standby/suspend, the computer stays on, and the screen shows the switch user dialogue, why isn't it going into standby? [22:43] why files keepdisappearing from /tmp folder?? [22:43] using ubuntu 9.10 [22:43] anaonie did you have 3 3d graphics accelerators running in parellel in a quad core system? Or does it do fine on a moderate system? [22:43] Name141: i use lxde myself, it rocks. Theres Luuntu based on LXDE and is made for low end systems (or people who just want their system to do what is needed rather than mess with anims etc) [22:43] ceelight: i have 2 partitions, 1 ntfs with win7 but i wouldnt mind losing that tbh, and 1 with ubuntu with all 500 gb of my stuff on it which i need to keep [22:43] onetinsoldier: thank you! [22:44] anonie: ok /home is on the same pastion as / is [22:44] imanc: check the appdb for compatibility [22:44] anonie: then - no [22:44] <[manas]> i get eror then im trying to install patch package, Package patch has no installation candidate [22:44] bodom: in /etc/network/interfaces, under the scetion you just made for your new address, add it like this: up route add [-net|-host] / gw dev [22:44] ceelight: dammit... any other ideas? [22:44] robotti^: you're welcome. actually, i think i should have said.... lsb_release -a [22:44] anonie: backup your files and reinstall [22:44] robotti^: it shows more info.. anyway, you're welcome :-) [22:44] n8 [22:44] ceelight: was afraid you'd say that :( [22:45] anonie: sorry ;) [22:45] blue_anna: no, I don't need to do that [22:45] <[manas]> i get eror then im trying to install patch package, Package patch has no installation candidate [22:45] Anyone here that can help, I downloaded the iso file of Ubuntu 10.4 and its just asking me to try or install, but I just want to use it off of a CD rather than download. [22:45] why my files keep disappearing from /tmp folder? [22:45] and help? [22:45] Is there a way to restrict the number of kernels Ubuntu maintains? [22:45] bodom: if you just do the "route add" command at the command line, when you reboot the route will be gone [22:45] any* [22:45] bodom: next time you reboot [22:45] ceelight: could i install it to my faildows HDD and link everything to my linux drive? [22:45] blue_anna: it's just a temporary solution: upon logon, I'll change that machine's policy to accept packets from my real ip [22:46] <[manas]> i get eror then im trying to install patch package, Package patch has no installation candidate [22:46] anonie: you could, but I think you won't be happy with it [22:46] calibre: do an sudo apt-get update first [22:46] bodom: ooh :) well, revert /etc/network/interfaces when you're done too then, I guess. grats :) [22:46] irc://irc.p2pirc.org:6667/pre [22:46] [manas]: that means there is no package to install it. [22:46] calibre: sorry - not for you [22:46] [manas], you have repository problem than [22:46] [manas]: do an sudo apt-get update first [22:46] iknonia: Do you know what I can do? [22:46] anonie: linking is not the best idea and don't forget: all you configs are in /etc... [22:47] calibre: I've not read your problem, sorry [22:47] <[manas]> drizzt_, what does it mean??? [22:47] ceelight: well thanks anyway :) i guess i'll have to get out the old external drive then [22:47] Anyone here that can help, I downloaded the iso file of Ubuntu 10.4 and its just asking me to try or install, but I just want to use it off of a CD rather than download. [22:47] That Ikonia. [22:47] <[manas]> ikonia, i did [22:47] calibre: that's the "try" option [22:47] anonie: np - good luck! [22:48] [manas]: are you using 10.04 ? [22:48] Ikonia: I know but I want to use it off of the CD, I dont wanna try, I want to use it but not install it. [22:48] goodbye folks, and i'll probably be back soon, the noob that i still am after using ubu for over a year xD [22:48] and thanks :) [22:48] Ikonia: I just wanna use it on the CD [22:48] calibre: that's "try it" it will run from the CD [22:48] <[manas]> ikonia, no 9.10 [22:48] !info patch karmic [22:48] Ikonia: Well how come it gives me a default username and pass. [22:48] Hi [22:48] i have a problem where I put my desktop into standby mode and instead of going into standby/suspend, the computer stays on, and the screen shows the switch user dialogue, why isn't it going into standby? using ubuntu 9.10 [22:49] calibre: what do you mean gives you a default username and password [22:49] Ikonia: It wont let me make a profile like usually happens. [22:49] مرحباااااا [22:49] Aboood99: Hi [22:49] calibre: you can't write to a read only device like a CD [22:49] anyone has resource links for such problems? [22:49] patch (source: patch): Apply a diff file to an original. In component main, is optional. Version 2.5.9-5 (karmic), package size 97 kB, installed size 208 kB [22:49] Ikonia: Like after I hit "try it" it goes staright to the desktop screen it does not make me make a username and password. [22:50] [manas]: what version of patch does it say it is referncing [22:50] calibre: of course it won't ask you a username and password, you don't need to login [22:50] calibre: it's running from memory so there is nowhere to store a username and password [22:50] <[manas]> ikonia, i get some erros then i run update, failed to fetch 404 not found but not on all of them [22:50] [manas]: sounds like your repo is down then [22:50] Ikonia: ah, so how could I make it so it runs as if it were installed? [22:50] <[manas]> ikonia, how to fix it?? [22:50] Ikonia: Is there a specific CD I have to use? [22:50] Hello. I have a problem difficult to solve. I installed Ubuntu from netboot. I installed XDM and Fluxbox only (no Gnome or KDE). X works fine, except that I cannot access tty1 to tty6 (crtl+alt+f1 does not work). In addition, what I type under X is also typed in tty1 and tty2!!!! Incredible! Also, if I do ctrl+alt+f7 (and RET), X crashes and is relaunched. Then it works fine (tty1 accessible, ...), it is stable and what I type under X [22:50] is not duplicated in tty1 or in tty2. [22:51] calibre: you'd have to actually install it [22:51] calibre: you don't - the only difference between an installation and a livecd is it won't ask you for a username and password, but why would you need a username/password for a livecd [22:51] [manas]: use a repo that's not down [22:51] Hello, anyone knows why after compiling bind , i cant see the configuration files? no /etc/bind* .. thanks [22:51] Ikonia: Well I wanted to use it without having to dual boot and screw up my computer. [22:51] calibre: so what's stopping you from using it ? [22:51] Hey guys I'm having probs with grub [22:51] Ikonia: I will have to split the partition and all. [22:52] calibre: done properly, dual doesn't screw up anything [22:52] I was trying to install the grub splash screen then grub asploded [22:52] calibre: what's stopping you use it as a livecd [22:52] ikonia: he wants to install and use 'xchat' [22:52] is there a way to make gnome's task bar displays only the icons without texts? [22:52] so [22:52] and now it wont find linux [22:52] Ikonia: I am trying to get xchat wont install. [22:52] onetinsoldier: so he cn install it [22:52] <[manas]> ikonia, how all i do is writing in terminal sudo apt-get install patch [22:52] calibre: what is the error ? [22:52] root@bash-desktop:~# update-grub2 [22:52] Generating grub.cfg ...

[22:52] :/ [22:52] [manas]: the repo it wants to get patch from appears to be down at the moment [22:52] !pastebinit > Raptors [22:52] Raptors, please see my private message [22:52] Hi there [22:53] Raptors: do your windows boot? [22:53] Hello, anyone knows why after compiling bind i cant see the configuration files? no /etc/bind* .. thanks [22:53] need some help with setting my ubuntu box for dev [22:53] acerimmer, yes [22:53] wanna do some web development with symfony [22:53] Ikonia: I wanted to dual boot ubuntu but how do I do it so it wont mess up my computer [22:53] Raptors: so the issue is "just" no buntu? [22:53] nacef: do you mean, you can't compile? [22:53] Ikonia: but the spliting patition part is what makes me nervous on it. [22:54] acerimmer, I'm in ubuntu right know and cant leave because it wont find linux [22:54] calibre: just follow the instructions during the install, it shouldn't mess anything up [22:54] I am trying to launch gnome-shell with "gnome-shell --replace" but it crashes on start. anyone having the same problem? [22:54] yes [22:54] Raptors: are you root? [22:54] yes [22:54] ceelight, I explain : I wanna develop with symfony [22:54] calibre: Pop in and boot the liveCD, choose install side by side, and done, shouldn't be much harder [22:54] Hello, anyone knows why after compiling bind i cant see the configuration files? no /etc/bind* .. thanks [22:54] so I have to create a new folder for my project under /var/www [22:54] nacef: ok, sorry, not my business ;) [22:54] Raptors: What did you do to try to add a splash screen? [22:54] cizarr: why did you compile bind [22:54] Raptors: sudo update-grub [22:55] cizarr: where did you set sysconfdir to be when you compiled bind ? [22:55] ikonia, chroot [22:55] acerimmer, I tried that [22:55] cizarr: chroot is not a location [22:55] arand: But dont i have to defrag and all that stuff and split the partition before i dual boot? [22:55] cizarr: where did you set sysconfdir to be when you compiled bind [22:55] Jordan_U, I just followed some of the tutorial [22:55] Jordan_U, I just followed some of the tutorials [22:55] ikonia, i know but anyway, i wanted to use the latest version [22:55] arand: and dont i need to backup my windows files? [22:55] cizarr: why did you compile bind and not use the pre-build ubuntu package [22:55] Raptors: have u tired live cd grub rescue? [22:55] cizarr: why ? [22:55] Raptors: Which tutorial? [22:55] cizarr: what was in the latest version that wasn't in the ubuntu vesion [22:55] acerimmer, no I'm on linux right know IDK why its not finding it... [22:55] why my files keep disppearinmg from /tmp folder? [22:56] drizzt_: lol [22:56] drizzt_: the are cleared down on reboots [22:56] drizzt_: tmp = temporary [22:56] Window Rules plugin for Compiz Fusion is not recognising the most basic of rules. E.g. class=Emacs, start maximized, not working at all. Thanks. [22:56] is it possible to stop it? [22:56] ikonia, 9.2 i think.. anyway i am on debian, kinda same.. used default configure and make [22:56] drizzt_: yes, save them in a different directory. [22:56] Jordan_U, http://code.google.com/p/burg/wiki/InstallUbuntu [22:56] arand: Ya there? [22:56] drizzt_: who told you to save files in /tmp, drizzt? :) [22:56] drizzt_: Why do you want to save files in /tmp? [22:56] hi [22:56] calibre: Nothing should be required before installing ubuntu no. But as a general precaution, you should always have a backup. But that goes for everything.. [22:57] Raptors: ok, deep breath. probably this is "only" a grub problem. Good news: all your datas iz safe. Bad news, u have to jump a very few hoops to reset grub properly. So, what distro are you using [22:57] hi, does anyone use xubuntu? [22:57] cizarr: a.) ubuntu is for ubuntu support not debian b.) why did you want the latest version, what's in it that's not in the pre-compiled version c.) where did you set sysconfdir to when you compiled it [22:57] i want them eventually deleted, but not on each reboot [22:57] cizarr: try #debian [22:57] Raptors: Oh, BURG is an unsupported fork. Install real grub. [22:57] arand: So I will backup my windows files and then boot the CD and instead of hitting TRY IT hit install? [22:57] Jordan_U, I tried doing that after [22:57] but it wont find linux [22:58] so anyway, is there some option controlling it? [22:58] ikonia, i didnt set any in the configure compile [22:58] i had ubuntu version 9. yesterday today i had up it to 10 the internet is very slowly now ... how i can fix that [22:58] arand: Wont I have to defrag windows before I install so no corruption happens? [22:58] cizarr: then it won't be in /etc/bind [22:58] cizarr: try in #debian [22:58] Raptors: Can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy grub-pc grub-common grub burg"? [22:58] drizzt_ : Your better off saving the files in your home directory then removing them when you want. [22:58] ikonia, cant find it on /etc/.. anyway thanks mate [22:58] cizarr: it won't be in /etc if you didn't set the sysconfdir [22:58] calibre: No, it's a myth that you need to defrag first. [22:59] where would i go to flush-out the pointer them? --whenever i do it using the GUI it never really changes [22:59] How do I use Window Rules in Compiz Fusion? [22:59] Jordan_U: Are you serious or is that sarcasm? [22:59] calibre: I'm serious. [22:59] ikonia, which option i need to set on the ./configure ? [22:59] ikonia, just used ./configure , make and make install [22:59] is a 1.3 GHz processor fast enough for Ubuntu? [22:59] cizarr: then you sholdn't be doing that [22:59] calibre: Doesn't matter if you use "try" or "install", you can install from the "try" environment as well, it's just theat the "install" option is install and nothing more, so it starts a bit quicker and directly into the installer screen [22:59] Raptors: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [22:59] TrueBlue: a pentium II is fast enough [23:00] arand: and I have to split the partition./ [23:00] ikonia, thanks [23:00] xubuntu is running kinda sluggish for me [23:00] arand: That is the scary part. [23:00] and i have a 1.3 GHz processor and 1 gig of ram [23:00] http://pastebin.com/dHzbu2SP [23:00] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/dHzbu2SP [23:00] arand: What if I didnt want it anymore one day, then there can be issues. [23:01] Uh my compiz fusion settings were destroyed. any way to check for backups? [23:01] ikonia, ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc will do the job? [23:01] * h00ked is away: sleeping mode [23:01] cizarr: try in #debian [23:01] TrueBlue: I'm actually having a bit of sluggishness myself (not to remind anyone of a certain yogurt commercial) -- not sure what to tell you though [23:01] how to get lirc to work again? stoped working after suspend [23:01] calibre: I don't see how defragging would make a difference, if data is spread to much it will simply not be able to shrink the partition, and it just won't install. [23:01] Raptors: sudo apt-get remove burg [23:01] hmm ok thanks [23:02] arand: Ok so if I wanted to get rid of ubuntu one day, then wont it be problems with the partition? [23:02] calibre: In that case, you'd just enlarge the ntfs partition, and use a windows CD to restore the windows bootloader. [23:02] grrr... I have tried everything and can't figure out how to enable plug and play so I can access my cell phone for pics and mp3's, phone is Samsung Slyde m540 [23:02] arand: Windows came on my computer so I dont have a disk. [23:02] Does ubunto have to have its own partion, what type of file system can i run ubunto under, can i make a seperate file system? [23:02] Jordan_U, that didn't do anything [23:03] calibre: You can restore an MS style MBR from within Ubuntu. [23:03] Jordan_U, its still only finding linux [23:03] Jordan_U, its still only finding windows [23:03] jim__: through what? on bluetooth you can transfer files easily [23:03] Brandano: usb [23:03] jim__: if you use an USB cable it probably shows as a serial port, and uses a custom protocol [23:03] eycel, yes, ext4, yes [23:03] calibre: You can also download free "recovery" CDs for windows vista/7 (_legally_) [23:04] jim__: what does lsusb show? [23:04] calibre: If you are really concerned you can use wubi, which requires no repartitioning [23:04] is the seperate file system ext4? how can i add it? [23:04] calibre, just use wubi [23:04] Ok, link please. [23:04] <[manas]> ikonia, but on my desktop pc update runs perfectly [23:04] !wubi | calibre [23:04] calibre: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [23:05] Brandano: nothing is showing anywhere [23:05] eycel: Do you have any unused space on your drive? [23:05] I got an error message that said "Evolution has encountered an error", and everything in my task list disappeared. How do I get my tasks back? [23:05] eycel: Unallotted [23:05] calibre: wubi comes on the normal ubuntu iso you download [23:05] arand: So what will I have to do? [23:05] calibre, please note that wubi has problems if you have >1 partition and Vista+ Windows [23:05] [manas]: check the differences in your sources.list [23:05] arand: Just download? [23:05] well right now i have a dead drive actually, im using puppylinux on a live cd... [23:06] but i wana make a ubunto partion with a seperate file system [23:06] calibre: i'd recommend you just install linux, and forget wubi :-) [23:06] onetinsolider: what would be the difference? [23:07] eycel: when you get a new drive you can make the partitions when you go to install ubuntu [23:07] calibre, no significant difference [23:07] calibre: Download, click wubi.exe, install. When you don't want it, go to add/remove applications in windows and uninstall, wubi will set up a kind-of dual-boot but it still uses the windows bootloader and doesn't have it's own partition, just a file inside the current windows partititon. [23:07] calibre: a lot [23:07] what makes having a seperate file system worth while? [23:07] eycel: Usually if your Dual booting you will have a ntfs, ext4, and a SWAP partitions [23:07] calibre, obviously you risk a data loss when installing ubuntu for real [23:08] calibre: your computer manufacturer should provide a windows dvd but will probably only do so if u requrest it. check their website. On Dell's site, this info was kinda well hidden. [23:08] eycel: you can fresh install or reinstall without worrying about backup for /home files and configs [23:08] drizzt_: yea that is why i have backups [23:08] calibre: ok, i've never used wubi... but, i don't need to, to know it's still not like real linux. you might as well install minggw and/or cygwin [23:08] how do i configure the file system? [23:08] eycel: you can't run linux on a ntfs partition..... each has their ups and downs [23:08] Well I wanted ubuntu. [23:08] jim__: the output from the lsusb command shows you what USB peripherals are attached [23:08] onetinsoldier, are you idiot? it's a real ubuntu in virtual drive [23:09] where do the mouse (pointer) theme settings get stored? if i want to reset the setting could i just delete thee folder? [23:09] Brandano: how do I find the lsusb? [23:09] eycel: Gparted...... They have a Gparted live CD you can download.....but Gparted runs during installation of ubuntu [23:09] drizzt_, no need for insults here [23:09] drizzt_: I wanted to use ubuntu and dual boot, but as long as I have my backups I should be ok eh? [23:09] anyone know some good weather tracking software [23:09] jim__: open a terminal, type lsusb [23:09] calibre: Wubi puts Ubuntu inside Windows, and does the boot loader stuff, and does not work exactly like a partitioned install from the Live CD. For example if something was to go wrong with Ubuntu when it's partitioned, resulting in you not being able to just boot it up, which is not that likely at all. You could stick in the Live CD access the partition and the data. If you have used Wubi it's not that easy to access data if boot up mess's [23:09] up. [23:09] I mean is there something that ives you a choise of making a seperated file system for ubunto [23:09] calibre, either way you'll have double-boot system [23:09] Greetings: I need to create a desktop launcher for a program - and the launch code (for lack of a better phrase) is very long and must be run from inside the folder that holds the program files. I've tried to create a launcher but can't figure out the command to launch the code from the folder, call it /home/user/Desktop/programfolder [23:09] calibre: I think wubi seems like a good compromise in your case, the differences from a "proper" dual-boot are very small from a user point of view. [23:10] eycel: yup..... Gparted [23:10] well... i just started a fresh install of ubuntu.. command line system, no gnome or KDE at this point [23:10] anyone know some good weather tracking software [23:10] wubi have some complications but still safer then direct install [23:10] does it have to be the same file system used for ubunto install ext4? [23:10] drizzt_: I just dont wanna screw things up. [23:10] anyone know some good weather tracking software [23:10] Hello, i just upfraded to 10,04. Everything worked fine, but now i cant put anything in my ipod. I could yesterday. It just says that i dont have the permission.. [23:10] justin22885: you can still use X without a DE ;) [23:10] eycel ??? [23:10] arand:I am a beginner at ubuntu. [23:10] drizzt_: even Wubi can somtimes screw up, the safest way is a virtual machine.

[23:16] calibre: with Vista people are meant to let it re size itself, or data loss might happen, with Windows 7 I don't know. However just back up the data else where, and installing Ubuntu the usual way, well is likely to go fine anyway [23:16] i mean better driver [23:16] Juliana_: synaptic for a gui one.. command line would be --> sudo aptitude install iptraf [23:16] justin22885: the point with Chromium is that the address bar is also the search bar [23:16] jim__: does the samsung use some os like windows mobile? [23:16] calibre: first of all you need a Live CD though [23:17] onetinsoldier: i know how to install stuff. i meant if there are tools i dont have to install.

Chromium is a bit limited when it comes to UI customisation [23:20] Juliana_: if you mean is there anything that come with the standard install, i don't know of one right offhand [23:20] onetinsoldier: ok, thank you.

[23:26] sebsebseb: How long will you be here? [23:26] But my firefox is hanging nowadays... [23:26] :( [23:26] calibre: the chance of data loss when doing a partitioned install is not that likely, however sure good idea to do it [23:26] calibre: back up everything, defrag your windows disk. Also check to see if there's a bios upgrade from the manufacturer. After that, install away. [23:26] acerimmer: bios upgrade what? [23:26] zalenix, have you tried zap addons and plugins? [23:26] justin22885: firefox has an extension you can install that does the same thing [23:27] acerimmer: calibre no people should not upgrade their bios at all, unless there is a proper reason to [23:27] sebsebseb: I have to defrag? [23:27] calibre: no [23:27] sebsebseb: for instance, dell put out a bios update about 3 months after i purchased. === buster is now known as Guest74638 [23:27] sebsebseb: Ok, I have been recommended to. [23:27] calibre: you could do so though, you see people think, less chance of data loss if you defrag [23:27] calibre: however I have re sized Windows partitions loads of times before, with no defrag first [23:27] #grandexchange [23:27] sebsebseb: well If I do, that is what the backups are for correct? [23:27] sebsebseb, actually manufacturers go to the risk of releasing new firmware for a reason [23:28] i think im a chromer from now on [23:28] hi sebsebseb, If you've done 15 or 20 install walkthroughs, maybe it's time to write it down for posterity... [23:28] drizzt_: what reason? Newer is not always better! and most people have no proper reason to upgrade the bios [23:28] sebsebseb: If the data is lost i mean, thats what backups are for eh? [23:28] Loshki: maybe that was an exegration, but I have guided quite a lot of people through installing Ubuntu in the past on IRC [23:28] hi. i've problem with ubuntu 10.04 i can't lock the screen [23:29] calibre: yes [23:29] calibre: also got a Windows 7 DVD? [23:29] sebsebseb: I have never resized a partition before [23:29] Bonsoir [23:29] sebsebseb: no i dont, it came with my computer. [23:29] calibre: ok probably a recovery partition though [23:30] walilo: how are you trying to lock the screen? i'll try it and see if it's working here [23:30] calibre: either way though, letting Ubuntu re size your Windows 7 install, is rather unlikely [23:30] sebsebseb: What do ya mean? [23:30] calibre: that it will mess things up [23:30] sebsebseb: What if that happens. [23:30] sebsebseb: What do i do then? [23:30] calibre: then you can go into ##windows and find out how to use the recovery partition, which is probably on there [23:31] calibre: also maybe you don't need Windows at all anymore, depending on what you want to do on a computer, what programs you want to run [23:31] sebsebseb: Ok, so when I backup, I boot the CD and then hit install, then you can help me from there? [23:31] calibre: or uhmm types of programs [23:31] onetinsoldier, with to ways from keybord (fn+ the lock) or from panel [23:31] calibre: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ [23:31] seriously how do i stop my monitor from refreshing every 5 second?!?

[23:31] Just upgraded to lucid, having trouble getting my x server up. Error message is "(EE) Failed to load module "kbd" (module does not exist, 0)", google isn't helpful.

[23:32] sebsebseb: So I will go backup my files, and then you can help me from there eh [23:32] ? [23:33] 1629 now [23:33] calibre: You could probably even convert your Windows 7 install and use it in a virtual machine, if you really wanted later on, but can get to stuff like that later [23:33] I just installed lucid to an external hard drive....I have my bios set to load from that hard drive...when I try, it quickly says "operating system not found" which continues to blink over and over again [23:33] onetinsoldier, ok [23:33] calibre is talk of the town I guess [23:33] onetinsoldier, it was working normely on 9.10 [23:33] BTW, the external is part ubuntu and part ntfs [23:33] walilo: hmmm, it worked ok here [23:33] calibre: youCOULD install virtual box for windows 7 and then create a virtual machine just for ubuntu [23:33] is she some hot blonde babe [23:33] sebsebseb: Yea, I just wanna dual boot so I can pick what OS i want to use. [23:33] ? [23:33] calibre: yes back up files, maybe even disk defrag Windows 7 first, as someone suggested, but that will take quite a while probably [23:33] walilo: did you 'upgrade' to 10.04? [23:33] I have a server running Ubuntu, which shares a disk with a Windows PC via samba. The problem is that files/folders created by the win pc is owned by nobody:nogroup, with read-only permissions for others. How do I make everything rw-able to everyone? Is chmod -R 666 the answer? [23:33] is it possible to have the screensaver randomly pick between a set of like 10 screensavers that i like? [23:33] sebsebseb: Yea, That will take a while. [23:33] Why dnt u try it sucker [23:33] what are the minimal requirements for ubuntu? [23:34] onetinsoldier, no i installed i pure version :) [23:34] calibre: acerimmer security advantage if it's Windows inside a better OS, not the other way round [23:34] walilo: roger. i don't know. it worked ok here [23:34] haavaros: Why dnt u try it sucker [23:34] ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:42] Dont worry sebsebseb , keep the good work.

[23:47] Loshki: Lucid [23:47] calibre: sure depending on what data you have, and how much space it takes up [23:47] dumont: power management doesnt always work in ubuntu [23:47] Loshki: Lucid on powerpc [23:47] primetime34, you have the grub menu to do so if grub detected your 2nd HD got a OS [23:47] magicianlord: possibly, terminator tends to do well. [23:48] i use xterm or lxterminal. let me try the latter [23:48] magicianlord why not? [23:48] and how to fix it? [23:48] calibre: I was thinking before, seperate home get that set up on install, but you may as well just go with the standard guided install [23:48] sebsebseb: Ok I will back up and then I guess pop in the CD and install and follow the directions, Will I have to screw with the partitions thing at all? [23:48] hello , i want to know , how i can adopt any orphand package [23:48] Brandano: just tried another cell phone I have with usb and still didn't prompt me, so it is a setting in Ubuntu...

I have 2 hard drives that arent showing up [23:49] calibre: it guies you through the install of Ubuntu as well [23:49] What should my grub.cfg file say if it is trying to boot from a '3rd' hard drive?

So you need to be patient. I think the best time to try is between 7pm and midnight PST when the california computer nerds come home, have dinner, and log in... [23:51] Now it doesn't say 'no operating system' but is just sitting on the blinking cursor in upper left hand corner [23:52] Brandano: no I didn't but will check it, don't recall that though.. this can't be this difficult though [23:52] all right man. this worked. for some reason, in xterm, alt+number doesnt work in irssi [23:52] why grub2 in blockfile configuration is considered unreliable? [23:52] node0: the liveusb images can also be installed from windows [23:52] Loshki: yeah that's the time you tend to be active in here at? [23:52] What is the reason for using Grub 1.98 instead of .98? [23:52] testi: ok the hard drives are in that list but they don't show up in the file system....
