[00:00] What causes a ftp to show / instead of the chrooted directory i assigned? [00:00] calibre: uhmm [00:00] calibre: two ways you can install once the computer has booted from the CD [00:00] sebsebseb: you should add a "slap wrist" option to ubottu [00:00] wildbat: holding shift down does nothing...my bios says it'll boot from my external, but I have it partitioned into two drives...is that my problem? [00:00] sebsebseb: which do you recommend? [00:00] calibre: you can go with the install option, or the try Ubuntu option, and then open up the installer [00:00] testi: I'll try if you don't mind that it's out of my expertise. What command did you use to set the route? [00:00] calibre: also if you want guiding at all or something like that, on IRC whilst installing [00:00] calibre: try is the way to go [00:00] calibre: altough if you have seen that manual [00:00] sebsebseb: So into try and then what do I click? [00:01] calibre: well as I hope you see, installation is rather easy [00:01] hello guys, can i ask something please? [00:01] !ask | slevin [00:01] pun84: don't know. but from what i've seen, most ftp servers have quite the config files that have to be set up [00:01] slevin: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:01] sebsebseb: yea I hope so go with installer option? [00:01] pun84: you might look for it config file(s) somewhere in /etc [00:01] primetime34, if that's so ~ your external don't have grub installing mbr ~ check with the web page on how t install it back [00:01] thx, i installed dyndns updater tool, how can i start it? [00:01] HELP! Unable to boot into my ubuntu lucid after installing upstart! Haven't the foggiest how to fix.... [00:01] calibre: CD boots [00:01] wildbat: do you have a link? [00:01] red2kic: Ah ha! k3b burns perfecxtly, apparantly I needed the mmc_dvdplus driver and was using mmc_dvd-r. Thanks for the help. [00:02] calibre: you can try Ubuntu from CD, or go with the install option [00:02] !grub2 | primetime34 [00:02] primetime34: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:02] calibre: however in the try Ubuntu from CD, you could also use IRC, and use the installer [00:02] sebsebseb: So do you want me to use the installer option? [00:02] sebsebseb: I cant get on xchat [00:02] primetime34: You probably don't have grub installed to the mbr of the external, follow this guide to get grub installed properly http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide then when booted again run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to be sure that on grub updates grub gets installed to the correct drive [00:02] calibre: if you understand the manual install chapater, which I hope you do, well you should be fine on your own. in fact even if you hadn't seen that, installing Ubuntu the standard way, is rather easy indeed [00:03] calibre: very straight forward, just read what it says, and choose what you want [00:03] thx, i installed dyndns updater tool, how can i start it? [00:03] calibre: type in some details, and done [00:03] jim__: my main problem is that I don't have your phone, or a similar samsung one, so I have no idea what I am contending with [00:03] sebsebseb: So in other words go with the installer option on boot up? [00:03] Hello. [00:03] jim__: I am sure it's a problem that can be solved [00:03] * theGman feels like his questions are just getting lost in the mix. :( [00:04] jim__: that said, through bluetooth it's trivial [00:04] calibre: yes sure that will be ok [00:04] calibre: can't use IRC like that though as well on the CD, but you won't need to [00:04] sebsebseb: Yea. [00:04] sebsebseb: Ok I will go back up my files brb [00:04] theGman: broken grub2? [00:05] Does anyone want a script that enables them to right click an image and click "set as wallpaper"? [00:05] how do i put my ps2 to my monitor [00:06] jose1_: ##playstation [00:06] yup [00:06] Hi everybody [00:06] Brandano: Doesn't appear to be. I get the gtrub menu fine, and it goes through SOME stuff and I get the splash screen but there it sits...when I press the power button to reboot the last thing before the shttung down stuff is upstart...it apears to be hanging... [00:06] gtrub -> grub [00:06] * Brandano has to look up what upstart is [00:07] Brandano: no worries, I do understand, giving it a break and will try again, like I say, someone is bound to know abut it and able to help, I do appreciate you trying... :) [00:07] how do you make scripts for Nautilus? [00:07] my dvd tray closes right away on eject, and does'nt eject when I tell it to with hotkeys -- it's not a hardware issue, I swaer! can anyone help me with this? right now I have to catch the drawer while it is open and hold it while fiddling with the dvds , and I feel like evil kanevil or something [00:07] theGman, remove quiet nosplash boot options and see what happens [00:07] blue_anna: alt-f2, eject + enter [00:07] blue_anna: http://xkcd.com/251/ [00:08] theGman: ouch... broken init daemon... [00:08] pallgone: it ejects and closes again, just like at the prompt [00:08] drizzt_: Ok, how do I do that from the safe boot menu option? I just edit what exactly? [00:08] theGman: I don't have any experience with upstart, I suppose you could boot the live cd, chroot to your system, and then apt-get remove upstart, and see if it magically starts working again... [00:08] Brandano: Yeah ouch is for sure... [00:08] theGman: try fixing it the same way I did for grub2. boot from a liveusb of the same distro, map the filesystem to a chroot, and reinstall upstart [00:09] zcat[1]: lol -- http://xkcd.com/149/ [00:09] theGman, press E and make corrections [00:09] from within the chroot [00:09] zcat[1]: thanks for that -- someone understands ! [00:09] theGman: or purge it and reinstall the init daemon [00:09] Brandano: Prob is, all was well UNTIL I installed upstart. THEN it broke. :( [00:09] theGman: my bet is that the install didn't complete [00:09] guys how do i go to my desktop using terminal? [00:09] Brandano: Is that aptitude purge upstart ? [00:10] slevin: you mean you want to display the desktop (minimize all windows)? [00:10] blue_anna: so it behaves normally if you don't boot ubuntu? (eg go into bios settings screen, or boot a live CD) [00:10] ciao a tutti! [00:10] * Quelyn is unable to do a clean install of 10.04. As soon as it prompts for a restart, it will restart to a blinking cursor. [00:10] hello everyone [00:10] theGman: try apt-get remove [00:10] *it|tony_ [00:10] drizzt_: Ah, gotcha, that'll only be to see what's haning without the graphical right? [00:10] jrib: no, i wanna use the terminal to go to my desktop [00:10] Quelyn: hrm ok [00:10] hi all [00:10] slevin: cd ~/Desktop. Why? [00:11] Quelyn: did you ever boot it up from the live cd and try with things being alright? [00:11] pleasure to meet you [00:11] theGman: I would purge it, personally, but it shouldn't matter much either way... [00:11] Quelyn: or did you just go for the install Ubuntu option? [00:11] theGman: but the filesystem mappings are a bit critical, expecially the /proc and /dev paths. better look for a tutorial, I didn't bookmark it [00:11] iae povo, suave na nave? [00:11] LiveCD works fine. Install to HD does not. And I don't have an NVidia card. [00:11] zcat[1]: exactly [00:11] so today I downloaded a rar file from a web site [00:11] hmmm [00:11] !br | duduindo [00:11] The actual Install process completes 100% too [00:11] duduindo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:11] tony__: hi, please ask a question... [00:11] sebsebseb: So the "purge" uninstalls it and removes the downloaded pkgs if I remmeber correclty right? [00:11] Quelyn: which card do you have? [00:11] there is some Italian here? [00:11] It's an on-board intel. [00:11] zcat[1]: well, actually, not sure about the live CD thing, I've not ejected the cd from the live cd :) [00:11] jrib: i downloaded a zipped file to the desktop and i want to excute a command to unzip it to specified folder [00:11] then I tryed to unrar it [00:12] theGman: purge removes the program and config files [00:12] !it | tony__ [00:12] tony__: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [00:12] kubuntu-desktop deu falhou! [00:12] slevin: ok, you know you can just double click or even right click on it? [00:12] the desktop filemanager complained about the file [00:12] !enter | hutty [00:12] blue_anna: yes, I just realised that was a dumb suggestion. you can't eject an ubuntu live cd. perhaps puppy, but sitting in bios is probably easiest [00:12] hutty: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:12] theGman, yes [00:12] !rar > hutty [00:12] hutty, please see my private message [00:12] sebsebseb: Will it then re-install the default init daemon stuff as well? [00:12] please! "Ubuntu-br"? [00:13] ooops! [00:13] theGman: no if you remove or purge a progarm, that's it, it's gone, and then you can install it again yourself [00:13] sebsebseb: It's an on-board intel. [00:13] jrib: yes i know, but the command is like this: [00:13] duduindo: /join #ubuntu-br [00:13] Quelyn: hrm ok [00:13] jrib: tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3a.tar.gz -C /opt [00:13] is there an easy way to use iptables to forward all connections to a certain port via a different gateway? Firestarter only seems to have options to allow/deny [00:13] Quelyn: yes there is an Intel graphics card issue at least one in 10.04 as well [00:13] slevin: don't use xampp. Use the repositories. See ubottu [00:13] Quelyn: to do with boot up I belive [00:13] !lamp > slevin [00:13] zcat[1]: during bootup however, the cd tray behaves itself perfectly well [00:13] slevin, please see my private message [00:13] thanks! [00:13] Hey I have an unusual problem. For some reason I can burn dvds but not cds? I tried two different brands too can neither worked. Any ideas? [00:13] sebsebseb: I haven't found any info on that yet, I'll search again... [00:14] Nemeth782: not sure. you might try 'fwbuilder' [00:14] Quelyn: used Ubuntu before? [00:14] malac0da: filesize ? larger than a CD? would fit on a DVD but not CD? [00:14] sebsebseb: http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/05/howto-fix-blank-screen-on-ubuntu-1004.html That the one? === james_ is now known as bluebaron [00:14] blue_anna: I have a slightly similar problem in debian, the cd burner can never eject disks when it's done. eject button still works though. I don't burn cds often enough for it to bother me though. someone will fix it eventually. [00:14] sebsebseb: Nope, newb :D [00:14] sebsebseb: No, what I mean is, apparently upstart replaces the default startup daemon stuff, I'm asking that when removing, will apt-get/aptitude install the default back? As I am presuming the sys MUST have ONE of them? [00:14] Trying to burn an audio cd and it says there is still time left [00:14] Quelyn: oh so Ubuntu will be your first Linux distro? [00:15] I can try removing a song though and try again [00:15] Quelyn: Nivida and ATI get issues with the propritary driver, but Intel also has an issue [00:15] to cut a long story short I ended up having to unrar the file in windows is there a kind of windows rar file and a linux rar file? [00:15] malac0da: which burning app do you use? [00:15] I tried k3b and brasero [00:15] have 10.04 installed and Gimp says it is installed but does not show up in the menu. What should I do? [00:15] hutty: did you see ubottu's private message? [00:15] hutty: apt-get install unrar ? [00:16] sebsebseb: Okay, I am going to try the fix in that link I just posted, *crosses fingers* And yes, my first linux install. [00:16] hutty: not that I know of. unrar should work with all rar files... [00:16] hutty: nope, there is a kind of Windows rar file only. Which is a propietary format. and not even more efficient than a tar-gz [00:16] em just saw that [00:16] testi: still there? [00:16] theGman: I haven't been following your issue [00:16] Quelyn: hrm [00:16] What I am asking is, apparently upstart replaces the default startup daemon stuff, I'm asking that when removing, will apt-get/aptitude install the default back? As I am presuming the sys MUST have ONE of them? [00:16] hey im trying to find a get irc client? using xchat right now any suggestions [00:16] and STILL less efficient than 7z [00:16] Quelyn: by the way what do you think Linux is? [00:16] malac0da: I don't like brasero (lots of bugs) but k3b is usually reliable.... [00:16] why on earth do so many people still use rar? [00:17] zcat[1]: since WIndows users like it [00:17] could anyone please help me with unloading the rivafb, nvidiafb or rivatv kernel [00:17] module [00:17] kraig6412: Kvirc, Konversation, irssi there are many, just depends on your tastes. :) [00:17] Brandano, that's a bulls*t [00:17] zcat[1]: what else should they use? [00:17] since the 7zip app is such utter crap [00:17] agronholm: no it's not [00:17] Loshki: .7z - 7-Zip [00:17] Brandano, rar is much more efficient then gzip [00:17] sebsebseb, from personal experience I can affirm that it is [00:17] Loshki: zip is built into windows already? [00:17] fwiw, taking the faulty hard drive out completely fixed the problem....it's always something easy. Thanks all for the help [00:17] 7-zip is :) [00:17] WinRAR sucks [00:17] anyone good with iptables ? :) [00:17] drizzt_: it just concatenates files before compressing [00:17] jrib I did install the free un-rar pkg then I installed the xarchiver pkg but neither worked [00:17] hmm guys whats the difference between 8 + 8 and 8 += 8 ?? [00:18] zcat[1], since win me [00:18] guess what tar does? [00:18] hutty: the wiki page does not tell you to install the free one, install just "unrar" [00:18] sebsebseb: Ok, if I apt-get remove upstart, which REPLACED the default installed init daemon pkg will it RE-INSTALL the default? Since upstart is a replacement? [00:18] guys i dl and install bittorrent in synatic how do i use it ? [00:18] camilla_Nilsson, second expression won't compile [00:18] thx, can i download lamp and install it using synaptic? [00:18] camilla_Nilsson: wrong channel? [00:18] Quelyn: quite a lot of new users seem to think that Ubuntu = Linux that is not the case, loads of other distro's as well, hence why I asked [00:18] Tried brasero with one less song still no go going to try k3b [00:18] I think windows users are not used to the idea of there being any remotely useful software included with the OS, if they have a job to do they MUST go and download something to do it, always. [00:18] sCOTTo, just ask [00:19] Hey guys how are you all? [00:19] ok === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [00:19] hi Capone [00:19] jrib yes wrong channel i know and really sorry but .. [00:19] Quelyn: also you may have better luck with a previous version of Ubuntu such as 9.10 [00:19] hi CaponeBH [00:19] drizzt thank u [00:19] yet strangely so many still use MSIE?! [00:19] sebsebseb: Well Linux is just an arrray of Unix like operating systems. ... I knos Ubuntu is based on Debian.. [00:19] selvin: lamp is a bunch of stuff, and yes you can install it from synaptic, however I find using aptitude for installing a lamp server much easier [00:19] zcat[1], stop flaming [00:19] guys i dl and install bittorrent in synatic how do i use it ?? [00:19] sebsebseb: I'd consider it a linux distro [00:19] !hi |CaponeBH [00:20] Quelyn: yes it is a Linux distro, but it isn't The Linux Distro === schlaftier_ is now known as schlaftier [00:20] fine [00:20] hm.. [00:20] Oh right, ubbotu got dropped. :P [00:20] my synaptics seems to be screwed. [00:20] drizzt_: commenting on behaviour, not intended to be a flame. just trying to understand why people do strange things [00:20] kianleong: which bittorrent? the default is Transmission, but there's other clients [00:20] Quelyn: it's not the Linux operating system [00:20] Quelyn: it's just one of many [00:20] sebsebseb: Right. [00:20] OWNADOR1 === ubertroll is now known as N1GGER [00:20] Brandano, i dl through synatic , package name is bittorrent [00:20] Guys, can you help me? I want to add some cool effects on my ubuntu-studio, when i read about it long ago but i didnt had a good computer to do so, it was with beryl, am i right? still being with beryl? or is with compiz? [00:21] Hrmmm...k3b is saying I have to manually convert the songs to wav then it can burn? [00:21] sebsebseb: There was an ancient Fedora Core install on this machine, I'm just renovating :D [00:21] Quelyn: 9.10 is alright with Intel [00:21] ok I have a ubuntu firewall, inside it I have a number of computers and a voip server. I have firewall as a gateway boviously, I have iptables commands running to allow me to share the internet connection, I have the currect incoming commands for routing the data for the voip server, it seems though that teh voip server cannot connect to the outside world. reading the man pages is REALLY starting to confuse me. Can anyone tell [00:21] me a command that will allow ALL connections outbound from a specific ip address? [00:21] by the way [00:21] CaponeBH: compiz now [00:21] Gimp is installed on my system but not showing up in the menu...what do I need to do to get it to show up. [00:21] jrib the message the bot sent me says........ "There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free" [00:21] sebsebseb: There's a workaround for this issue with 10.04 LTS though right? [00:21] CaponeBH: beryl is dead [00:21] malac0da: that's true, unless your player plays mp3 format. Does it? [00:21] Quelyn: it's a bug [00:21] hutty: install unrar [00:21] Quelyn: so any work around won't be perfect [00:22] timposey: reinstall it. It _should_ be there? or right click, edit menus and see if it's unchecked? [00:22] Quelyn: or uhmm well i'll have a look at the link you gave hold on [00:22] np [00:22] !rubygem [00:22] No it does not...I thought k3b converted the songs right to audio tracks for an audio cd does it not? [00:22] soreau: So how can i install cool effects like the cube, and snow, close the windows and they get on fire? [00:22] does it differ using 32 or 64 bit? [00:22] timposey: also possibly log out and back in? [00:22] soreau: is just go to the terminal and apt-get install compiz? [00:22] what is the difference between google chrome and chromium? [00:22] CaponeBH: not sure about ubuntu studio.. is it gnome? [00:23] apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:23] jrib will it work in the file manager or do I havre to use the terminal? [00:23] why is ruby gems not allowed to update itself on Ubuntu? http://pastebin.org/227739 [00:23] *something* i did messed up my sound, where can i get help? i have ubuntu 9.04 [00:23] Can ANYONE tell me if I apt-get remove upstart, which REPLACED whatever the default installed init daemon pkg will it RE-INSTALL the default? Since upstart is a replacement? [00:23] CaponeBH: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:23] soreau: yeah, gnome, i believe that the same things that works for ubuntu works for ubuntu-studio [00:23] slevin: the link ubottu gave you should have fairly straightforward instructions. They do not depend on architecture [00:23] theGman, yes [00:23] malac0da: hold on, I'll run my k3b and check... [00:23] CaponeBH: Try this: [00:23] hutty: it will work through the file manager [00:23] ! compiz | CaponeBH [00:23] CaponeBH: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [00:23] drizzt_: Thank you. [00:23] zcat[1] thanks, it was checked but I unchecked it and checked it again and it shows up now, Thanks so much for being here and for the help! [00:23] jrib thanks [00:23] CaponeBH: I meant sys>prefs>visual effects>extra [00:23] can anyone here help me with an LTSP problem? [00:24] CaponeBH: sys>prefs>appearance, srry [00:24] soreau: ok, let me try...just a moment [00:24] Quelyn: well the link you gave is some blog, and I see no comments, so nothing about if it actsaully works, plus with unoffical websites, they will sometimes give bad advice [00:24] mannyv: you might ask in #ltsp [00:24] not sure why I still hang out here, I switched to debian a month ago.. ;) [00:24] what's the unix command to log a bash session ? [00:25] zcat[1]: heh yeah I know what you mean [00:25] well, this machine is debian, others are still ubuntu [00:25] zcat[1]: I switched to Mandriva on this computer in Novemember, but yet I am still here, ok Ubuntu is on the other computer still, but stil [00:25] sebsebseb: Not much to lose, it's a fresh install and I can always just whack it again heh. [00:25] I am preparing to tripple boot XP, Ununtu, and Back|Track4 [00:25] zcat[1]: altough I know why I hang out in here still [00:25] Quelyn: that's true [00:25] soreau: there is visual effects, but not extras. Im using it already but its nothing special, just when i open and close the window, the window shakes [00:25] Does anyone know a solid work around they've tried for 10.04 LTS not booting with on Board intel sound? [00:25] GeekSquid, thanks i tried #ubuntu-ltsp but there was nobody there [00:26] soreau: i just can choose the option of use effects, but not which effects [00:26] No way I can switch my wife's computer, she hates change.. going to be hard enough to sneak 10.04 onto her 9.10 system [00:26] zcat[1]: something about helping users I guess loads of them [00:26] CaponeBH: Ok, install ccsm [00:26] sCOTTo, iptables -A OUTPUT --source -j ACCEPT [00:26] ! ccsm | CaponeBH [00:26] CaponeBH: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [00:26] (it might even be 9.04, I haven't updated it for a while..) [00:26] malac0da: nope, with k3b you need to convert to wav manually first.... [00:26] zcat[1]: plus maybe you also want a Linux distro to gain some proper market share against Windows, and if we like it or not, Ubuntu is the one that has most chance at doing so at the moment [00:26] agronholm: I could kiss you right now... but I wont... my wife would get a little upset ;) [00:27] zcat[1]: just make up some computer jargon speak about security and updates :) [00:27] sCOTTo, consider using ufw instead [00:27] if it's an option for you [00:27] soreau: ok, installing compizconfig-settings-manager [00:27] agronholm: is that a gui ? [00:27] Does anyone want a script that enables them to right click an image and click "set as wallpaper"? [00:28] sCOTTo, I bet it has a gui, but check out the ufw (uncomplicated firewall) command [00:28] DarkStar1: I could just ininstall java/flash and when her games stop working I tell her she needs to upgrade. [00:28] soreau: installed, and now? install simple-ccsm? [00:28] Quelyn: oh you got a sound issue as well? [00:28] agronholm: i try to avoid gui ;) I Was once taught by someone special that gui is not good ;) [00:28] agronholm, sCOTTo: gufw is a GUI for ufw. [00:28] Tetracomm: no thanks. I'm going to learn scripting in a sec and script image rotation of the desktop background [00:28] CaponeBH: open ccsm by running it in your terminal or selecting it from sys>prefs [00:28] ill look into ufw [00:28] thanks [00:28] agronholm, sCOTTo: but yeah, just ufw is easy to use :) [00:29] sebsebseb: Oops, typo. [00:29] or I could just wait until her games no longer work with the version of flash in 9.10 ;) [00:29] Onboard Video rather. [00:29] I wonder why that program is not installed by default [00:29] Ok. [00:29] darn... [00:29] Darkstar1: Could you tell me how when you find out how to do that? [00:29] hello to all.. I am using the latest version of Ubuntu ( 10.4) and I'm trying to adjust the grub menu.lst but when I bring it up, it's blank.. did they change the name of the grub loader's menu file ? [00:29] zcat[1]: That could bite you in the ass esp when the software tells her that Java/flash that used to be there before is no longer there anymore [00:29] !grub2 | Lurner [00:29] Lurner: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:29] rww: should I not be learning this stuff fromt eh base upward? not trying for the easy way out ? [00:29] Anyone know where the Xchat's status window is for registering nick names? [00:29] !grub2 | Lurner [00:30] hmm, too slowp [00:30] sCOTTo: generally I'd say yes, but iptables (which ufw is a frontend for) is horribly confusing [00:30] oh thanks a lot ! [00:30] Quelyn: Newer is not alwasy better by the way! in certain ways previous versions are still better, so if you want to try a previous version :D [00:30] Tetracomm: google is your friend :) + I have some old books on unix scripting lying around somewhere.. Used to script way back but I've forgotten it :) [00:30] soreau: nice, it opened a windows with the configs, let me check if it will work, just a moment pls. [00:30] DarkStar1: ubuntu makes things so easy she could probably figure out how to reinstall it anyway! [00:30] sebsebseb: Yeahhh I have a 9.10 ISO waiting in the wings, but I just want to make this stupid work :D [00:31] Yes, but if ou find out, you can just tell me. :) [00:31] Hi. Is it OK for me to delete the .thumbnails directory in my home dir? I assume it will just rebuild as it encounters the thumbnailable files again ... correct ? [00:31] Darkstar1 [00:31] zcat[1]: Wacha gonna do then? :P [00:31] Whitor: correct [00:31] Quelyn: also what happens with Ubuntu at the moment, for various reasons, is that sometimes hardware that worked fine in a previous version, no longer does in the current latest [00:31] zcat[1], thanks [00:31] CaponeBH: if you want to do cube, come to #compiz (see you there) [00:31] Tetracomm: que pasa? === hutty_ is now known as hutty [00:31] ok rww thanks [00:31] my thumbnails is linkedto /dev/shm/.thumbnails so it gets cleaner at every reboot [00:31] *cleaned [00:31] agronholm: thanks for the help :D [00:32] I had better get back to this.... [00:32] Tetracomm: Oh just caught up with your chat.. Will let you know [00:32] sebsebseb: My backup is almost done [00:32] Quelyn: also I expect loads of the other desktop Linux distro's don't have the issue your getting [00:32] calibre: ok [00:32] I am running ubuntu server (latest), have openvpn installed, and am getting this error when trying to connect: TCPv4_CLIENT []: No route to host (code=113) [00:32] sebsebseb: SO after that I boot CD and hit the installl option correct? [00:33] install* [00:33] calibre: yeah or check ISO, you can do that after it's installed even, oh so easy in ubuntu [00:33] sebsebseb: Ok. cool. [00:33] calibre: good practice to check them, even though 99% of the itme they will have downloaded fine [00:34] sebsebseb: Check within Ubuntu? [00:34] calibre: yeah Live CD or install [00:34] good idea to check iso before you start the install too.. had a fingerprint on a disk yesterday which messed up my upgrade, had to clean the disk and start again from the beginning! [00:34] sebsebseb: I will check after it installs. === HighOnAmbien is now known as steilki11 [00:34] the PAM module that ecryptfs-utils provides, is it hard coded for just home directories, or can I modify it to decrypt other filesystems as well? [00:34] sebsebseb: That cool? [00:34] zcat[1]: well sure, but this guy's CD seems to be working fine [00:35] Hello, I'm having an issue trying to install 10.04.. the installer doesn't recognize my HD. (I can see it fine outside from it, was even able to run gparted to create the partitions already).. What could be wrong? [00:35] sebsebseb: I made the CD today, and its been runing great [00:35] zcat[1]: calibre also yeah, I would normally check before doing an install [00:35] sebsebseb: Ok When I boot into the CD what do I do [00:35] sebsebseb: Link? [00:35] malac0da: try serpentine [00:36] zcat[1]: so you think calibre should be guided through how to check the ISO whilst using the Live CD, before installing Ubuntu? [00:36] HAs anyone who dual boots timed how long it takes to get to the log in screen from choosing Lucid in the GRUB menu?? I need to compare with my system [00:36] calibre: have you used the terminal at all in Ubuntu? [00:36] mine was just-burned and verified, put a fingerprint on it putting it in the drive and wasted about a half hour because of that. Cleaned off the disk and did a test again and it was OK and then did the upgrade. [00:36] sebsebseb: Yea I have. [00:36] sebsebseb: Worked just fine. [00:37] DarkStar1 is it really really quick? [00:37] calibre: have you ever cd'd into a folder on your hard disk? no I guess not [00:37] sebsebseb: nope. [00:37] sebsebseb: Ok my files are done backing up. [00:37] calibre: could check ISO in Windows as I said before, easier to do it in Ubuntu though. plus if I guide you through that, you'll learn something [00:37] I dont dual boot lucid but it nload in less than 15 sec [00:37] hutty: That's what I want to know.. It takes 25 seconds on this dying hard drive I installed it on [00:37] sebsebseb, why he needs to cd ever? [00:38] drizzt_: what you on about bootable USB sticks? [00:38] sebsebseb: Ok, well [00:38] lucid is really noticably faster to boot on every machine I've installed it on so far. [00:38] is it a sata drive? [00:38] sebsebseb: How do I do it in windows. [00:38] !md5sum | calibre [00:38] calibre: 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 [00:38] hutty: yes.. SATA1 [00:39] 7200 rpm? [00:39] how can I install from source with apt-get instead of from binary? [00:39] hutty: Yes, but like I said it's also a dying hard drive [00:39] calibre: I think dijikul was trying to say that you don't really need a CD to install Ubuntu, since if you have a big enough USB stick, you could make a bootable USB stick and install from that, however as far as I know most of us still use CD's, for installing these kind of operating systems [00:40] calibre: that we have made [00:40] I got no idea what Chet's email ad is. [00:40] blue_anna: first download like so... apt--get -d source [00:40] blue_anna, apt-get build-dep [00:40] I've just read alot on the forums about people Emailing him [00:40] DarkStar1 use it just for swap then maybe [00:40] I'm fairly certain that I need a version of libpoppler from about 2007. Is there any easy way to install it? [00:40] and him always replying to emails, no matter what [00:40] sebsebseb: Ok. [00:40] blue_anna: usually install source package, build binary package from that, install binary package.. [00:40] Ooops sorry wrong room [00:40] not dijikul ,but drizzt_ [00:40] sebsebseb: How do I do this ISO test? [00:40] sebsebseb: I dont get it. [00:40] calibre: that's ok [00:40] hutty: nahh.. I can't use a 160GB just for swap!! [00:41] calibre: altough in Windows you basically, download a program to check ISO, and then compare the code you get on a website [00:41] blue_anna: sudo apt-get source [00:41] hehe [00:41] -d or build-dep or source ? are they all the same? [00:41] sebsebseb: Do ya think anything will mess up? [00:41] calibre: so much easier in a Linux distro though, but first you would need to cd (change directory) into the folder where the ISO is stored, so in this case your Windows partition [00:41] Anyone here dealt with errors with mysql-server while upgrading to Lynx?? [00:41] IBT Windows haz no wc FUD [00:41] blue_anna: they are not all the same [00:41] calibre: as long as Windows is shut down properly, Ubuntu should have no problem at all, accessing your Windows partition [00:41] sebsebseb: i am still new, lol I dont know all of this yet [00:41] sebsebseb: OK, turns out I was given the wrong specs, this machine actually does have Nvidia, yay [00:42] calibre: I know [00:42] Handy tip I've found, to save digging around looking for md5sum files just generate md5sum and put that into google. If there are any results at all it's probably good (at least matches a good copy of something..) [00:42] Quelyn: oh [00:42] md5* [00:42] sebsebseb: Ok then, well I am gunna restart and switch to the CD, and then I will hit the installer option and go from there. [00:42] I got k3b to recognize mp3s. I just installed libk3b6-extracodecs. Now I just got to see if it actually burns the cd. [00:42] Quelyn: right however you don't even have a propritary driver installed hrm [00:42] calibre: no go on the try Ubuntu option [00:42] calibre: then come back here, when your on the CD [00:42] sebsebseb: Can I boot into Live CD and access the main File System to install drivers? [00:42] sebsebseb: I cant get on xchat. [00:42] sebsebseb: It wont download it. [00:42] calibre: sudo apt-get install xchat [00:43] calibre: or try some other IRC client even, sudo apt-get install konversation for example [00:43] sebsebseb:yes i did that [00:43] lol [00:43] sebsebseb: Wont worl. [00:43] work* [00:43] calibre: hrm [00:43] blue_anna: apt-get source fetches the actual source files into the current directory. apt-get build-dep installs packages (binaries) that the source needs to compile and build. '-d' is download only, i.e. fetch but don't install anything... [00:43] calibre: ok stop [00:43] sebsebseb, I think his network hardware isn't recognized [00:43] sebsebseb: ok. [00:43] drizzt_: yes ame here [00:43] drizzt_: yes same here [00:43] calibre: ok right your not ready to install just yet then it turns out [00:43] sebsebseb: How come? [00:43] malac0da: well done... [00:43] calibre: since you got wireless right? and it's not being detected [00:44] sebsebseb: No I can access the internet just fine, lol. [00:44] calibre: well then you should be able to install programs onto the Live CD as well [00:44] sebsebseb: it wont download xchat is all. [00:44] calibre: did you enter the 'example' text for proxy during the install? Normally you would just leave that blank. [00:44] blue_anna, you need build-dep first to setup compiler and libraries [00:45] Hola alguien habla español? [00:45] Quelyn: ok maybe I can save you a bit of time, but you got to answer this first [00:45] !es | bart_ [00:45] bart_: 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. [00:45] poco [00:45] (trying again maybe it has been missed) Hello, I'm having an issue trying to install 10.04.. the installer doesn't recognize my HD. (I can see it fine outside from it, was even able to run gparted to create the partitions already).. What could be wrong? [00:45] zcat[1]: no. [00:45] blue_anna, otherwise you'll have to install package after package after each configure error [00:45] Sebsebseb: So what now? [00:45] Quelyn: would you like to, run some of the 3D games that are in the Ubuntu repo? or the compiz 3D effects? [00:45] therian [00:45] try sudo apt-get remove dmraid [00:45] in live cd [00:45] then open installer [00:45] SocialistPig: Alright [00:45] It seems to be burning the cd [00:45] calibre: well something is wrong [00:45] calibre: if you can't install programs onto your running Live CD session [00:46] sebsebseb: I will go and get the errors and pastebin them, and I will come back here. [00:46] calibre: also the whole point of try from CD, is to find out if everything is ok or not, before installing [00:46] sebsebseb: Not sure. I guess I'd like to be able to have that capability if possible? [00:46] Anyone having the problem in the me-menu where if the status is set to online, its unable to be re-set back to online or any other status? [00:46] Quelyn: yes that's what I thought well [00:46] *offline [00:46] Quelyn: you would need to install propritary Nivida driver for this [00:46] hey everyone [00:46] I know this isn't a python related channel but I try to get on #python and I cant... where can I ask my totally newbie programming question? [00:47] Quelyn: however then the boot up that 10.04 uses, will mess up big time, probably [00:47] can i ask about irc? ( i just loaded irc on version 10.4) but i am new to irc [00:47] sebsebseb: Hmmm [00:47] Quelyn: look rather odd when booting up that kind of thing [00:47] SocialistPig: That did the trick, a million thanks! =) [00:47] FriedrichMan, register your nickname first [00:47] hmm, so calibre is still running from cd, has internet connection but cal't install packages? [00:47] a little warning [00:47] FriedrichMan, then you can enter there [00:47] *can't [00:47] sebsebseb: As long as it looks fine once booted. [00:47] Quelyn: it won't [00:47] hitting the upgrade button on any computer Ive had to do that with [00:47] Quelyn: when I upgraded other computer from 9.10, I already had the driver installed, so I got really odd boot up [00:47] hi all ! anyone any experience on n810 ? [00:47] fails 100% of the time [00:47] I didn't think you could install anything onto a live cd since it isn't writing to the cd? [00:47] plan to do fresh installs =/ [00:47] FriedrichMan, one warning though, #python isn't a friendly channel, people are fairly arrogant and mean there [00:47] sebsebseb: Only during boot up though? [00:48] Quelyn: you can do a text mode instead [00:48] malac0da: it installes into memory [00:48] SocialistPig: Ouch. alright, will keep that in mind. Thanks again! [00:48] sebsebseb: Text mode bootup? [00:48] ohhh [00:48] when I boot from the live cd it wont pickup my usb modem [00:48] When i set my status in the me-menu to offline, its unable to be re-set back to online or any other status... Anyone had this bug or fixed this bug? [00:48] pretty sure its an issue with the fake raid on the motherboard [00:48] sebsebseb: Ok, what do i gotta do? :D [00:48] malac0da: anything you 'install' on the live CD boot goes away when you reboot. [00:48] Ok, thank you Darkstar1 [00:48] can't I just ask my question in here? I am sure somebody's got to know... it's very newbie... I am sure they're gonna trate me like crap in there for such a silly question [00:48] Quelyn: yes after you have set that up, quite easy to do. have you tried Ubuntu 10.04 at all? have you seen it? I want to ask something else as well, to find out, if you should just go with 9.10 really. [00:49] FriedrichMan, alternatively you could read up the manual, it's clear enough even for such pos the python is [00:49] sebsebseb: yeah I saw it, it looks nice. [00:49] Tetracomm: Already on it now [00:49] sebsebseb: I was running it via live cd. [00:49] agronholm: in my experience, the #openbsd channel could give #python lessons in condescension [00:49] drizzt_, why such harsh words? [00:49] Quelyn: theme can be installed in 9.10 as well, I belive there's a ppa [00:49] Ohh...I get it. So it just does like a temporary install [00:49] Loshki, this is not a contest :P [00:49] I just wanna know how the bit operators work... I am reading the manual and don't get it [00:49] agronholm, because python source is unreadable and uneditable? [00:50] agronholm: :-) [00:50] drizzt_, I wouldn't know, and I fail to see what it has to do with all this [00:50] it doesn't make the language any worse [00:50] Quelyn: Do you want built in Facebook or Twitter feature? purple look? well you got 9.10 ISO, may as well boot your computer up from that, have a look, and if you want install it. it will work better than 10.04 on there, or so it seems [00:50] for instance... how come 3 & 2 ---> 2? [00:50] what you are referring to is just one of several implementations of the python language [00:51] python source is fine. PERL source is unreadable.. [00:51] Ok, DarkStar1: You can tell me via PM. [00:51] FriedrichMan, you mask 3 with 2 [00:51] what does that mean' [00:51] FriedrichMan, what do you expect that to do then [00:52] FriedrichMan, also, check your pms [00:52] hi [00:52] malac0da: yes, I think the livecd uses ramdisks, so you can install stuff until you run out of ram space. Of course it all disappears if you reboot as nothing is written to disk until you do a system install [00:52] how do i get the live cd lucid to pickup my usb modem? [00:52] FriedrichMan: turn them into binary.. 3=11, 2=10 .. [00:52] I got the turning those into binary part... [00:52] but once they're both binary... [00:52] 'mask' means result is 1 where both digits are 1 [00:53] so result is 10 = 2 [00:53] Loshki, actually you cannot modify live image much, because system comes to a halt [00:53] ok I had wireless working a second ago [00:53] sebsebseb: The build int social networking stuff seemed pretty neat to check out, If I cannot get 10 to work ill use 9, it's really just to have a Linux machine for work [00:53] how do I get the list of devices to for wireless to work [00:53] zcat[1] So it chooses on the one which begins with one and ends with soemthing else? [00:54] drizzt_: that sounds like a bug then (or you ran out of RAM space). I routinely install ssh and other stuff when I run live cds.. [00:54] like lspci but geting the /dev/ [00:54] FriedrichMan, are you listening? [00:54] FriedrichMan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_%28computing%29 [00:55] hey guys [00:56] how do i install etoile on ubuntu? [00:56] i got gnustep runnning [00:56] Anyone know of other distributions of Linux that are not revolved around the "n00b" user? I heard Debian? [00:56] Quelyn: ok sure, plus you can use Gwibber in 9.10 as well, for the social stuff, you just won't have anything for that on the top right of the panel [00:56] but etoile is always the tricky part [00:56] !info etoile [00:56] nothing happened ;-P [00:56] Package etoile does not exist in lucid [00:56] !info gnustep [00:56] hi guys... can I deactivate/uninstall update packages from a certain date on? [00:56] gnustep (source: meta-gnustep): The GNUstep Development Environment -- user applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.4 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB [00:56] hmm [00:56] yea [00:56] what is etoile? [00:56] xenon401, Debian is exactly like Ubuntu, only very old [00:56] it is a DE [00:56] for gnustep/x11 [00:56] Yeah, I tried it in a VB. [00:57] drizzt_: sid isn't. [00:57] it is an actual mac os x clone [00:57] Ubuntu is based off of Debian. [00:57] and the reason im running it is because [00:57] i hate all other DEs [00:57] drizzt_: xenon401 uh no. Debian Stable is rather old yes, Debian testing no, that's more up to date than Ubuntu, and Ubuntu tends to be based on that [00:57] for ubuntu(xcept the new gnome [00:57] !debian | drizzt_ xenon401 [00:57] drizzt_ xenon401: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [00:57] !camaelon.app [00:57] Yes, I know Ubuntu is based off of the Debian foundation. [00:58] it's not 'based of [00:58] I upgraded to testing two days ago.. took me half the day to sort out all the updates and get nvidia working again but it's all sweet now! [00:58] it's the same packages [00:58] got to go [00:58] yea [00:58] ubuntu is based on debian [00:58] drizzt_: xenon401 also Debian is bsically Ubuntu, but without the junk features, yes there are junk features in Ubuntu now days, well at least for some of us properly experienced users [00:58] but debain is a much "slower" updated version of ubuntu [00:58] and a much lesser funded [00:58] Geico: agree [00:58] but u know what? [00:58] can I uninstall update pkges installed on a given date??? :( [00:58] Geico: Debian is not Ubuntu [00:58] what is the best way to do a CLI ADSL PPPoE connection? [00:59] I know. Different distros. [00:59] an Ubuntu is not Debian! [00:59] ? [00:59] zanzibar1982, only if they come from DISTRO-updates [00:59] ubuntu is mostly debian .. [00:59] ^ [00:59] drizzt_, otherwise old version is lost [01:00] SocialistPig: with junk features added on to it, well not all of those features are junk :D [01:00] no debian = no ubuntu [01:00] the question is where did ubuntu come from wasn't it a split from the debain core long long ago [01:00] I like most the features [01:00] its the fact its less stable than debian for some odd reason that bothers me most [01:00] I do now want ubuntu one.. [01:00] Ubuntu exists, since Mark Shuttleworth decided to make his own distro [01:00] drizzt_ and in the case, how do i do it? looks like I still have karmic x64 but with 3/4 of lucid in it and firefox is giving all the issues on earth [01:01] network folder or music store [01:01] Mark Shuttleworth was a Debian developer [01:01] zcat[1], use Dropbox, it's better [01:01] exactly! [01:01] and thepiratebay ;) [01:01] sorry, 'and amazon music store' [01:01] zanzibar1982, open synaptic and choose Select Version on package in question [01:02] drizzt_, but don't have high hopes, it will eventually break your system [01:02] piratebay is dead....

[01:05] canonical seems to be leaning towards becoming OSX.. moving the buttons to the right, having their own music store integrated in [01:05] zcat[1]: you meant left [01:05] left, whatever... [01:05] and yes Ubuntu is becoming more Mac OS X like [01:05] this is only the start [01:05] ... [01:05] nvm [01:05] could you take this discussion elsewhere? [01:05] zcat[1]: they dont ask for 129 every six month though? [01:05] my buttons are fixed :P [01:06] sebsebseb: How is it becoming more mac like... when mac is unix based.. No one ever wanted the old "Macs" but now that it is unix based well that is why it is hott [01:06] zcat[1] there was a blog post about the philosophy behind moving the buttons, and it had nothing to do with OSX. You can also change it back if you like anyway. I did. [01:07] is pulse audio ever gonna just work ? [01:07] that blog post is made no sense [01:07] CogitoErgoSam, that's a bulls*t [01:07] DonScott, does for me! [wall of lol] [01:07] DonScott: apparently not... [01:07] CogitoErgoSam: Yeah, but the default theme is designed with the buttons in that position, it looks broken if you move them [01:07] ok.... [01:07] dominicdinada: Unix based heh heh, well yeah, but they still go and sue Linux phone companies over patents and that kind of thing. Apple that is. oh and Apple really aren't really that opensource friendly. They basically take FreeBSD put lip stick on it, and sell it. However this is rather off topic for in here. [01:07] CogitoErgoSam, they can come with any alibies, but it is macosx copycatting [01:07] You guys must be purposely breaking something to make pulseaudio fail for you... [01:07] so what should I use instead of pulse audio ? [01:07] hi, having a headphone, speaker problem, when the earphones are in, it's still blasting from the speakers [01:07] yes there are hardly any issues I know [01:07] ,but [01:08] we should try and keep this channel on topic, even so [01:08] !ot [01:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[01:09] CogitoErgoSam: yes, even the other themes that are included all look OK with either button placing [01:09] i have just removed it [01:09] ionut, as in stopped sharing it ?

[01:10] right click in home folder, new folder, call it 'Shared', THEN right click on it and share it [01:10] i have sound out the speakers but not on my logitech headset/mic [01:11] what is the Share folder? [01:11] which is kind of odd [01:11] sebsebseb: Yes on the live CD [01:11] calibre: so how are you talking to me? [01:11] zcat[1], i think you need to read the question again [01:11] sebsebseb: I am on windowsn [01:11] calibre: bastidrazor makes a good point, the universe repo may be disabled on there [01:11] windows* [01:11] calibre: are you on two computers? [01:11] airtonix: they 'removed' the shared folder?

[01:12] ionut, if you deleted the folder then you should first check the trash can. [01:12] calibre: ok fine [01:12] I'm getting mucho error [01:12] http://pastebin.org/227898 [01:12] calibre: md5sum the ISO in Windows, yes it's probably fine, but do that anwyay [01:12] calibre: then just run the Ubuntu installer from the Live CD :) [01:12] and install it [01:12] sebsebseb:Do the ISO thing first? [01:12] It all started when I made ATI break :/ [01:12] calibre: yes it's a good idea to [01:12] !md5sum | calibre [01:12] calibre: 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 [01:12] airtonix: i have used the rm -r from the terminal [01:12] problem: internet < Router1 > dmz LAN, vpn-tunnel comes up, but i cant set a route on tap0 to the dmz, anyone an idea? :) [01:13] airtonix: is that possible to revocer? [01:13] ? [01:13] sebsebseb: Do I have to register [01:13] ? === nemesis_ is now known as helios_ [01:13] calibre: reigsther where what? [01:13] register where what? [01:13] ionut, no it's gone now. also you should of said that in the first place... this isn't a guessing game. if you want the right answer then give the right details [01:13] I prefer alternative installs. they go faster, and since ubuntu no longer includes same-gnome (this was my favorite game to play while waiting for an isntall to finish) [01:13] sebsebseb: That just shows me this webpage. [01:14] calibre: md5sum is built into ubuntu and no you dont have to register ubuntu [01:14] sebsebseb: what am I supposed to be seeing? [01:14] dominicdinada: yes, but he is going to do it on Windowsn ow [01:14] SO FRUSTR [01:14] O..... [01:14] What is the prefered irc server/daemon [01:14] got a quick question, im going to tri-boot winxp, ubuntu and anoth linuz distro, im installing winxp first, should i use NTFS or FAT32? [01:14] calibre: you need a md5sum program. and the code to compare iso to [01:15] ahzrukhal, ask in #windows [01:15] xer: preferred ircd software you mean? [01:15] ahzrukhal, ntfs [01:15] k [01:15] sebsebseb: How do I get the program? [01:15] thank you [01:15] Yeah sorry :p [01:15] ahzrukhal: ntfs ... full R/W support for ntfs is very good now in most linux distros [01:15] i used anope irc services with.. 1 min [01:15] xer: most widely used and supported are UnrealIRCd and InspirIRCd [01:15] thanks, that is what i wanted to know, :) [01:15] ahzrukhal: fat32 hasn't been relevant for a long time, use ntfs [01:15] i used unreal :) [01:15] as have I [01:15] I do too [01:15] :) [01:15] tjis makes me want to switch to fedor [01:16] calibre: the linux questions .org link works here [01:16] unreal needs to be built from source correct? [01:16] ahzrukhal: also if you want the ntfs partitions to mount automatically in linux check out "ntfs-config" [01:16] sebsebseb: I dont get quite what to do I am lost lol. [01:16] hey, does anyone know if/how you can remove items from the nautilus context menu? not talking about the "open with" stuff, but e.g. "copy to","move to" etc [01:16] calibre: install a md5sum program [01:16] calibre: and then check the ISO in the program [01:16] xer: cant remember but i think so [01:16] Well, cant i check it in VMware? [01:16] nvm I think I fix [01:16] zcat[1]: whats even better is the linux support doesnt honor NTFS file permissions and things that are protected in windows can now be removed etc [01:16] cool thanks [01:17] yw [01:17] i might idle for a while [01:17] ok [01:17] calibre: oh you have Ubuntu in a virtual machine as well? [01:17] sebsebseb: Can i check in vmware? I am in ubuntu. [01:17] So why is it that whenever I have a disk in my CD drive, it is constantly, or even sporadically, spinning like crazy, even tho I'm not using it or asking it to be read or anything at all... is there a setting somewhere like "dont f*ck with the cdrom drive until i ask you to" ? [01:17] sebsebseb: Yea I am in VMware, I using ubuntu right now lol. [01:17] calibre: if the vm is detecing the ISO instead of a CD probably, but I haven't used vmware for quite a long time now, Virtualbox :) [01:18] dominicdinada: yes, and things that can't be read in windows, and minor filesystem corruption, I use linux a LOT to help prople recover broken windows systems! [01:18] sebsebseb: so what do I do? [01:18] calibre: the instructions on linux questions .org are pretty clear, plus there are other programs that could be used instead [01:18] it depends on what you _want_ to do [01:18] zcat[1]: yup for infections.... esp when i dumped vista for windows 7 i used a live cd to kill the old windows folder without having to jump throw 20 hoops on the windows :P [01:19] Anyhow i am still having problems getting my wireless up in master mode.... stupid hows link to pages that dont exist... and are incomplete [01:19] would something like cdburnerxp include an md5sum check? I know k3b does... [01:19] calibre: this is not worth all this hassle though, it's probably fine [01:19] zcat[1]: md5sum is built in [01:19] sebsebseb: yea. [01:19] !md5sum | zcat[1] [01:19] dominicdinada: in Windows? [01:19] calibre: md5summer.org [01:19] calibre: that's another program you can use [01:20] oh for windows its winmd5 [01:20] sebsebseb: So what about xchat not installing? [01:20] ho === blendmaster1024 is now known as PigeonCluster [01:20] hi [01:20] dominicdinada: k3b is handy because if the md5sum is good I generally plan to burn to a disk next anyhow... [01:20] calibre, so why it does not installing? [01:20] calibre: that does not matter about xchat anymore [01:20] calibre, use : apt-cache search chat | grep x [01:20] zcat for windows md5 tools this is what i use http://www.nullriver.com/products/winmd5sum [01:20] sebsebseb: ok. [01:20] zcat[1]: 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 [01:21] it is a free tool [01:21] calibre: just do the md5sum in Windows now, and install Ubuntu, as long as the ISO is ok [01:21] airtonix: then it should work? [01:21] problem: internet < Router1 > dmz LAN, vpn-tunnel comes up, but i cant set a route on tap0 to the dmz, anyone an idea? :) [01:21] sebsebseb: I am on VMware cant I do it on here? [01:21] calibre, at least you'll get the right package name to install.. (btw i just installed xchat with lucid five minutes ago) [01:21] calibre: no you would probably have to make another vmx file or whatever [01:21] calibre: just do it on your Windows host OS [01:21] sebsebseb: ok. [01:21] calibre, there is at least two versions , the normal one and the gnomified one. [01:22] airtonix: not that helpful, they are total newbie [01:22] sebsebseb, using apt-get install blah already they are [01:22] Anyhow i am still having problems getting my wireless up in master mode.... stupid hows link to pages that dont exist... and are incomplete for the zd1211 chipset [01:22] airtonix: I guess they had done so in vmware yeah [01:22] so you are sure that Ubuntu and Back|Track4 will run on NTFS HDD? [01:22] you can also take source from RFC and compile it yourself in VS VC Express [01:23] airtonix: however they have never had a pshyical install of Ubuntu just yet [01:23] sebsebseb, your point is ? [01:23] sebsebseb: Do I download the Beta version? [01:23] airtonix: and the only reason wanted xchat on Live CD, was so he could be guided through the install [01:23] ahzrukhal: a live cd will run because it is loaded in the memory and ramdisk [01:23] calibre: hrm was just thinking [01:23] calibre: if you have already installed Ubuntu into vmware, well it's the same proccess for the Live CD [01:23] installer [01:23] im not doing it from livecd, i am installing from usb [01:23] sebsebseb: So what do I do? [01:24] calibre: yes that will do beta version [01:24] how i can recovery information from a .tgz archive when it crashes [01:24] calibre: you just need a program that will md5sum [01:24] ahzrukhal: although this is not the backtrack channel the forums are at http://www.remote-exploit.org [01:24] when i try to open it [01:24] EvilCa, make a backup copy [01:24] drizzt_, then unzip it manually [01:24] ahzrukhal: you need to partition your drive and use ext3 [01:24] in the command line ? [01:24] sebsebseb: Ok downloaded what now? [01:25] EvilCa, yeap [01:25] well, backtrack uses ubuntu as a base, so if ubuntu works on ntfs, backtrack will too, so, yes Ubuntu works on NTFS [01:25] i'll try [01:25] ahzrukhal: when you set up BT4 it will give you the option to partition the drive with the ext3 settings [01:25] calibre: the beta is still the latest version of that program [01:25] ahzrukhal, I doubt ubuntu can use NTFS as / [01:25] sebsebseb: i got it. [01:25] calibre: been a while since I used it though, but I think it's look around the program and basically open the ISO in it [01:25] sebsebseb: its downloaded what now? [01:25] ahzrukhal: ubuntu can be installed to an ntfs partiton using wubi. backtrack I do not know, but personally I would leave some free space after your NTFS windows install and install both linuxes on their own ext4 partitions [01:25] calibre: if not, you might have to put the code first in a file, that the ISO is meant to be [01:26] damn I don't trust ext4 [01:26] ahzrukhal: it is able to read the NTFS headers and file system... BT4 is built on Ubuntu 8.04 i Believe which uses the ext3 journaling [01:26] ahzrukhal: Ubuntu does not work on NTFS. Ubuntu can read/write to NTFS [01:26] zcat: thanks, will do [01:26] calibre: also you might have to extract the file you downloaded some where first [01:26] sebsebseb: I dont get this lol [01:26] calibre: ok I give up with that [01:26] IdleOne: ubuntu cal be installed as a big image file on an ntfs filesystem... [01:26] which is the command to untar a .tgz ? [01:26] sebsebseb: Lol, yea, [01:27] calibre: you can check from Ubuntu later [01:27] zcat[1]: hmm ok. [01:27] sebsebseb: Ok so what now? [01:27] calibre: install Ubuntu now, and then come back here [01:27] EvilCa, gzip -d [01:27] IdleOne: but this is probably not the best way to install it unless you really fear resizing your windows [01:27] calibre: it will take about 20 minutes to install, once it has all the details [01:27] sebsebseb: Ok, with the install option? [01:27] calibre: and there's a nice slide show to look at for 10.04, telling you a bit about what you can do with Ubuntu [01:27] calibre: yes with the install option [01:27] IdleOne: zcat[1] I have never heard of it either but why would you want to install it to its non native file system to begin with [01:27] sebsebseb: Ok sure thing. [01:27] EvilCa, MAKE THE BACKUP COPY FIRST [01:28] sebsebseb: brb, when I got it. [01:28] sebsebseb: wish me luck ;-; [01:28] !ntfs [01:28] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [01:29] All that will happen is he will be back here when he is getting filesystem errors :P [01:29] drizzt_: nah, i'm untaring it now in command line thx :) [01:29] calibre: ok good luck [01:29] sebsebseb: You ready to figure out my issue now :) [01:29] sebsebseb: Anyhow i am still having problems getting my wireless up in master mode.... stupid hows link to pages that dont exist... and are incomplete for the zd1211 chipset [01:29] i have a gut feeling he should use wubi... [01:30] When I change my mouse cursor theme, the theme is not applied. Instead my mouse cursor remains as the default Xorg cursor. What should I do? [01:30] dominicdinada: uhmm I don't tend to do wireless issues === harrow is now known as yharrow [01:30] :'*( [01:30] = harrow [01:30] drizzt_: oh your someone else that wants to install Ubuntu [01:30] Hey, I want to set Rhythmbox to rip flac at the highest compression setting. What would I have to add the that string in the settings menu in order to do this? [01:30] drizzt_: just been helping one of those [01:30] yharrow: restart X to apply changes [01:30] still doesnt help [01:31] For some reason I am not able to change my mouse theme [01:31] i mounted ubuntu iso image in /mnt/ubuntu, and gave the following command to install a xen virtual machine.. but its not working.. can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? virt-install --paravirt --name xen-ub1 --ram 1024 --disk path=/vm/xen-ub1.img,size=10 --os-variant=ubuntuhardy --location /mnt/ubuntu/ [01:31] drizzt_: uh nevermidn read wrong [01:31] If I know where mouse theme settings are kept maybe I could check those? [01:31] does ubuntu server iso have a live boot option? [01:31] sebsebseb: It appears it was the "splash" screen hanging and not the upstart stopping me from fully booting. :) doing the e at grub menu and turning off quiet splash I booted right up. [01:31] thanks in advance :) [01:31] theGman: yes there are 10.04 boot up issuews [01:31] theGman: with Plymouth [01:31] intx: no it doesn't [01:32] Thought I'd share that with everyone. :) [01:32] theGman: and Nivida and ATI propritayr dirvers, and I wasn't following your issue before, so I don't even know what it is/was now [01:32] @ GeekSquid [01:33] sebsebseb: No biggie. I thought it was because I had just installed upstart that I couldn't boot, it seemd to just hang at the splash screen... [01:34] my ubuntu server 9.04 has problems with routings: i have one networkdevice (eth0) , which is connected to two routers, the primary 192.168.1.1 for net internetconnection, the secondary 192.168.1.2 with the intranet. In the moment all traffic goes over the primary this is okay, but so i cannot reach the adresses of the intranet. [01:34] drizzt_: yes maybe that person should have gone with Wubi really, on the other hand I guess not quite, since they have been using Ubuntu in VMware first [01:35] theGman: you can remove Plymouth as well [01:35] theGman: well not the Plymouth package itself, but [01:35] sebsebseb: However, it was because of the specific splash screen I had chosen...spinfinity, all the others I had "checked out" worked just fine. [01:35] theGman: the themes and label [01:35] theGman: oh right [01:35] theGman: I was playing around with Plymouth splash screen's earlier on the other computer [01:35] theGman: and I belive it was that one, that frooze on me as well [01:36] sebsebseb: It's all good now. I have turned off graph boot anyway, I prefer so SEE what's going on and what fails. :P [01:36] theGman: I booted up recovery mode, and did some sort of low graphics mode or something. got GDM not my KDM, logged in, removed the theme, re booted, with another theme, and no problem [01:36] hey im wondering why Ubuntu/gnome is not putting my monitor in sleep/standby, when the time limit is reached it just turns black, the backlight still on [01:36] heey [01:36] anyone? [01:36] I usually turn off graph boot on ANY lux I run... [01:36] hi! just upgraded to 10.04, and fancontrol is broken. I can re-run pwmconfig, tweak the file, but after each reboot it breaks again. The error: Configuration appears to be outdated, please run pwmconfig again [01:37] theGman: wanted to play around a bit with Plymouth themes on there, like I had done with a vm, snce well that one will become a text boot, since doesn't work properly with the propritary Nivida driver :( === GUilherme is now known as Guest26835 [01:37] hello guys [01:37] hi i need help with routingtables [01:37] Grell: check your power management settings. that's the default behavior because suspend/resume is still somewhat unreliable [01:37] STF: possibly ask in #ubuntu-server if help isn't found here. [01:37] thx [01:38] theGman: they done it again though. remember 8.04 with pulse audio issues? or haven't you used Ubuntu again? [01:38] hello guys what'sup? [01:38] theGman: yeah introducting something in the LTS, that really will mess up on some of us [01:38] does anyone know if/how you can remove items from the nautilus context menu? not the "open with" stuff, but e.g. removing "copy to","move to" etc [01:38] sebsebseb: Future ref: Shooes "e" at grub menu and delete the "quiet splash" part of the entry and then ctrl-x to boot. And it will just bypass the splash screen and THEN you can just run: update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and choose a diff one. :) [01:38] theGman: used Ubuntu again? above it was meant to say, or haven't you used Ubuntu for long enough? [01:39] theGman: a command? [01:39] hi [01:39] theGman: I just remove the theme I don't want, and install another [01:39] i have a kernel provocate caps locks blinking [01:39] Does anyone know how to make changes to the mouse be consistent, I want the red glass one at a slightly larger size. It does it when the mouse is over an application but not when it is over the background and some other application windows, no idea why (and I've tried restarting the xserver and a full restart). [01:39] problem: internet < Router1 > dmz LAN, vpn-tunnel comes up, but i cant set a route on tap0 to the dmz, anyone an idea? :) [01:39] how to check what is worng? [01:39] any log?

[01:40] bluebaron: apt-get remove --purge package [01:40] iceberg, thank you [01:40] hello, can I use NFS to remote install ubuntu? from what I see in the official documentation it looks like only http and ftp are supported? [01:40] iceroot, [01:40] kunji: what version of ubuntu did you start seeing your problem? [01:40] In what* [01:40] sebsebseb: This is my first time using ubuntu. I've used Fedora since their vers 3, and HAD Fed 12 on THIS mach until I screwed it up trying to install gentoo on a usb drive...killed my Fed! :P So I put ubuntu on 'cause I needed a less "bleeding edge" distro anyway... [01:41] cruejones, why don't you just run a HTTP or FTP server and knock yourself out? that's how I net boot my boxes [01:41] sebsebseb: Anyway, gotta go...a clients work is demanding my attention... :P [01:41] jeeves: only because I currently have both redhat and suse on nfs and would like them all to be the same [01:42] yharrow: I had it with 9.10 (the first one I used) gave up and went with the default, I don't know if it was ever fixed (tried on a few computers). Just tried again with 10.04 to see if it worked now. [01:43] imklog: Cannot read proc file system, 1. [01:43] any idea? [01:43] how do I remove a package without removing any of its dependences? === GraveStalker is now known as DeathCrawler [01:43] is it possible to install ubuntu off a running linux distribution? [01:43] hmm I change mouse pointer and I get both [01:43] hutty: which package? [01:43] depending what window im over [01:43] kunji: does it work? [01:43] e.g. skipping the need for a cd-r or usb? [01:43] intx: no don't think so [01:43] hutty: apt-get remove .. will just pull the package only [01:44] hutty: to clean up the dependencies later use auto-remove [01:44] hutty: dependencies are never removed by using apt-get remove [01:44] yharrow: partially, over some windows it will apply the new settings, and the rest still used the default mouse. [01:44] hutty: some packages you should leave alone, and not remove at all [01:44] kunji: I see. My problem is that I dont even get the ubuntu default. I get the cheap looking xorg default [01:44] bastidrazor ah ok thanks [01:45] yharrow: oh, I've never seen that happen to someone before, good luck. [01:46] hey [01:46] sebsebseb I was going to remove adium-theme-ubuntu [01:46] hutty: ok and what does it want to take with it? [01:46] so i got a problem with lucid, whenever I boot my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, how do i boot without gdm starting [01:46] cruejones, you're trying to nuke one of the OS installs on your network and get them all onto one release? [01:46] kunji: its possible that there is a similar solution to both problems. Do you know where cursor settings are stored? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [01:47] Ubuntu-desktop and Ubuntu-artwork [01:47] hutty: I see [01:47] jeeves: no, I actually have a client requirement to POC installing ubuntu via a netapp filer (NFS) for VDI [01:47] hutty: yeah it's the kind of package that really you should leave alone [01:47] Does anybody know where cursor settings are stored for that matter? [01:47] jeeves: so the netapp filer limits me to NFS [01:47] hutty: its for Empathy isn't it? the theme? [01:47] yharrow: No idea, I haven't looked into this very deeply, I was just hoping someone on here would know, since I thought it would be a common problem as I've never seen non default cursors working properly. [01:48] cruejones, ever thought of interdicting Netapp to a really strong magnet? [01:48] ok but if I did want to remove it is apt-get the way to go? [01:48] hutty: ubuntu-desktop you can remove, it's just a meta package [01:48] jeeves: yes, especially when capacity reaches about 90% [01:48] as in apt-get remove [01:48] hutty: however you may need that installed, if you upgrade Ubuntu to a later version, to make sure you get all the later features [01:49] yharrow: try --> sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme [01:49] hutty: as for the branding package I think that might be a meta package as well (I think it's called meta) [01:49] hutty: branding I mean artowrk [01:49] !info ubuntu-artwork [01:49] problem: internet < Router1 > dmz LAN, vpn-tunnel comes up, but i cant set a route on tap0 to the dmz, anyone an idea? :) [01:49] ubuntu-artwork (source: ubuntu-artwork): Ubuntu themes and artwork. In component main, is optional. Version 53.5 (lucid), package size 22 kB, installed size 124 kB [01:49] hutty: well that descrption says it's optional, should be ok to remove those two then [01:50] yharrow: do you have 'xcursor-themes' installed? [01:50] cruejones, ok, so, what are you trying to do? step by step? [01:50] sebsebseb: both ubuntu-desktop and -artwork are safe to remove but probably want to reinstall later [01:50] IdleOne: yes that's basically what I was saying above [01:50] sebsebseb but what about Ubuntu-Desktop I dont want that removed! [01:50] Hello, I am trying to use Ubuntu-tweak here, but it doesn't prompt me for a password when I click unlock buttons. Any ideas how to fix? [01:51] hutty: see what IdleOne put [01:51] so, I am trying to do a basic PXE boot -> remote install ... got the preseed file ready but then realized my only options were ftp or nfs for remote install source [01:51] hutty: when you upgrade Ubuntu to a later version, you will probably want those two packages installed again, but other then that, it's perfectly fine not to have them [01:51] testi: what route command are you using? [01:52] ok so I wont lose the desktop? [01:52] hutty: indeed [01:52] ok cool [01:52] hutty: nope you wont === PigeonCluster is now known as blendmaster1024 [01:53] Can anyone recommend a good Tracker for Ubuntu? [01:53] cruejones: I've never done a PXE boot myself, but I've set up tons of nfs servers... [01:53] but just to be clear if I use apt-get remove some pkg it will remove said pkg and leave any dependences? [01:54] hutty: no [01:54] jeeves: right NFS is no problem - according to the ununtu preseed file you can only use http or ftp as you remote install source - so my question is if this is true or if there is some way to specify NFS in preseed [01:54] hutty: it will remove whatever it wants to remove [01:55] hutty: also if you use purge instead of remove, it will remove config files as well [01:55] onetinsoldier: how can i check which packages I have installed by command line? [01:55] had NFS already stopped hardlocking computers? [01:55] cruejones, as far as I know, you can't specify a NFS host. it needs something that has an internet routable protocall [01:55] cruejones, I could be wrong though [01:55] hutty: so I purge :) even though for what I am doing remove would be fine [01:55] jeeves: thanks [01:55] yharrow: eaxmple... dpkg -l '*cursor*' | grep ^ii [01:56] cruejones, I think Netapp gives you the option to do a small FTP (I could be wrong though) [01:56] onetinsoldier: yes its installed [01:56] yharrow: or just.... dpkg -l [01:56] onetinsoldier: I'll be back in 5 mins [01:56] yharrow: roger [01:57] sebsebseb so its not possibleto remove pkgs in an adhoc manner? [01:57] I have ntpd running on a server.. but when I ask a client to sync with 'ntpdate -db 192.168.3.254' it doesn't can anyone help? [01:57] hutty: what do you mean adhoc? [01:57] I have removed apache2 with apt-get remove --purge apache2, but all the binaries and configs are still there [01:57] anyone know what the eff is going on? [01:58] hutty: aptitude can be a bit better than apt-get at dealing with dependancies and give you the option not to remove sometimes. However useusaly if something else wants to be removed as well, when you remove the package, the other stuff will get removed as well. [01:58] bluebaron: what do you want to accomplish? [01:58] jrib, eradicate apache2 from my system so i can reinstall fresh [01:58] hutty: also if you run aptitude from the terminal, you can do some stuff with packages like that [01:58] bluebaron: I think the command is 'apt-get purge apache2' [01:58] sebsebseb ok here I have no printer , so I decide to remove cups but Synaptic wants to remove about 8 other pkgs as well [01:58] bluebaron: dpkg -S /path/to/file/you/think/should/be/gone will probably be enlightening [01:59] hutty: leave cups alone [01:59] hutty: I don't have a printer either connected to this computer, but I am so not going to mess around removing cups [01:59] that not an answer!!! [01:59] hutty: as a result [01:59] hutty: Cups is basically a part of the Ubuntu system [01:59] can please anyone tell me that ubuntu 10.04 LTS is compatible with dell dimension 3100 and gateway n79 laptop? [01:59] hutty: and other distros that use it === fyrewall is now known as Webster [02:00] hutty: also why do you want to remove this and that? this is not Windows, it doesn't matter if you have quite a few apps installed that your not using, things won't slow down for example as a result [02:00] ali_45: try running the LiveCD first and see how it goes, that should tell you. [02:00] As long as the daemon isn't running, generally no performance problems will be encountered. === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [02:01] well the cups daemon is running [02:01] neil_d: i downloaded off of their website and burned the iso image... but it doesnt boot... does that mean i cant enjoy ubuntu./? [02:01] hutty: system > preferences > prefered applications [02:01] ali_45: you get an error or anything when you try to boot the Live CD? [02:01] and I was trying to have a mean leam machine! [02:01] hutty: however even so, things won't slow down if cups is running [02:02] ali_45: did you check the md5 checksum of the .iso before you burn the CD? [02:02] Ive only got 1.5 GB ram [02:02] yes on the desktop it just stays on blank screen and doesnt do anything and on laptop it shows error message I/O error...:( [02:02] ali_45: Yes, live-CD first is cool, like neil_d reccomends :) [02:02] hutty: Easy way to stop that. "sudo chkconfig cupsd off" then "sudo service cupsd stop" [02:02] hutty: and if you want to really, really, really, really, be in control about what you have installed in your Linux distro, learn Gentoo or I guess Linux From Scratch :D [02:02] jrib, can I rape you? [02:02] how can I access the ext3 partition on a windows machine to transfer stuff between the two [02:02] bluebaron: umm... [02:02] just a little? [02:02] what is md5 checksum?...:S... im a noob guys... [02:03] bluebaron, what? stop that. [02:03] CaptainTrek: no way to access ext3 from windows that I know of... [02:03] elky, don't be jealous [02:03] !md5sum | ali_45 [02:03] ali_45: 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 [02:03] md5 checksum is basically checking your download to make sure it is intact [02:03] darn, beat me to it [02:03] ali_45: ok.. the md5 checksum is a way of testing if the download got the .iso all ok. [02:03] bluebaron, ban evading is not a wise thing to do. [02:03] whoa .. didn't know it was that bad elky ... just chillin .. sorry man .. [02:04] linux from scratch OMG you need to be an s&m person for that! [02:04] elky, huh? I'm not banned [02:04] am i? [02:04] i didn't do anything to avoid a ban [02:04] I'm sorry\ [02:04] I'll just leave [02:04] bluebaron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:06] sebsebseb: Nothing happened to windows at all, no I am on windows. [02:06] hutty: If those commands don't work for you, try "man chkconfig". Should tell you what the proper syntax is to stop a service from starting on startup. [02:06] Calibre: why did you go back to WIndows, if you just installed Ubuntu?

[02:38] calibre: if you go to top panel/bar and then to places. as long as Windows was shut down properly you should be able to access it from that [02:38] 'lo [02:38] xenon401: Most of the AV programs in linux just scan when yu tell them to. they dont work like they do in windows [02:39] sebsebseb: yea. [02:39] it is called that. First one to show up if you search "virus" on add/remove software [02:39] sebsebseb: It did [02:39] Hi iam new with ubuntu, and i have been looking for a program that shows cpu and ram speeds. iam doing some overclocking and the buildin tools dont seem to show the info i need. is there an app. like cpu-z for ubuntu ? [02:39] I have AVG Antivirus [02:39] so i just tried to install ubuntu 10.04, barely got the cd to boot (had to use the nomodeset option) [02:39] got it all installed [02:39] hello [02:39] xenon401: yoy may want to start using Synaptic to install/search - the Add/remove is a little dumbed down. [02:39] oh so the rootkits and spambots are windows innovation? [02:39] calibre: ok now go to the folder with the ISO [02:39] but now it freezes on boot [02:39] dr_willis, oh enlightened one, how can I get in on fixing small bugs... I know basic c++, and I was told that I would be able to maybe fix byte size bugs and review 'em and that such. You know what I'm talking about? [02:39] even with nomodeset [02:39] sebsebseb: On ubuntu? [02:39] drizzt_: your rather unlikely to get malware whilst running a Linux distro [02:40] Yeah, i download/install my 3rd party from there. [02:40] i have a nvidia 9600gt which is what i thought to be the problem [02:40] why are you spreading potentially dangerous disinformation? [02:40] calibre: yes access your WIndows partition using Ubuntu, which you just did by the sounds of it [02:40] but it freezes ~ the Setting Sensor Limits [02:40] I like the UI on "Add/remove..." better :P [02:40] keenken: i dont code much at all. So no idea. [02:40] calibre: then navigate to the folder on your Windows partition with the ISO [02:40] anyone have any ideas [02:40] hi all. Anyone know how to have an action happen whenever a new file is added to a specific folder? Similar to Folder Actions in OSX? [02:40] I am new to ubuntu, can some one please help me with some noob questions [02:40] i hate gdm [02:40] jewthulhu: yes [02:40] xenon401: its 'ubuntu software center here' :) what release are you using? [02:40] sebsebseb: Wait go to places, then what? [02:40] brianherman: same here GDM 2 sucks, KDM on the other hand rather nice :) [02:40] jewthulhu: sure what's up? [02:40] sebsebseb, right, especially downloading magic printer, scanner or display driver from guy who pretends to be developer [02:40] brianherman: old GDM is good [02:40] is AVG Antivirus a safe and reliable antivirus? [02:41] When I tunnel to my ubuntu server it says something along the lines of "your cpu appears to be lacking expected security protections please check your bios settings" [02:41] I can't get unetbootin to work, it keeps hanging at the extraction step. Anyone know why? [02:41] drizzt_: yes people should get software only from trusted sources [02:41] xenon401: its made by a major av company. so i dont see why not. [02:41] how do I get additional plug ins for the panels? I feel like there has to be more than the basic ones that come with ubuntu. [02:41] Dr_Willis: sorry, I am so used to 9.04 . I just switched about 2 weeks ago to 10.04 [02:41] !kubuntu|brianherman [02:41] brianherman: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [02:41] also, how do i enable that crazy cube thing [02:41] xenon401: you do realize most all these AV apps are just for scanning for windows viruses for the most part? [02:41] i love kubuntu [02:41] xenon401: you don't really need anti virus in a Linux distro, unless your running an email server for example, and so are scanning for Windows viruses, that won't infect the Linux distro [02:41] Yes, I know Linux viruses barely exsist [02:41] i know nixternal he like works with them [02:41] sebsebseb: Wait go to places, then what? [02:41] jewthulhu: compiz for the crazy cube thing and to be honest I have no idea about the other haha sorry [02:42] calibre: my documents I guess [02:42] xenon401: the first hit for 'antiv' in the software center is a HTTP Anti Vuris Proxy. [02:42] sebsebseb: exactly [02:42] calibre: once you got the windows partition open like that [02:42] Is there are package that I can remove that will also remove every KDE app on my computer? Somethine like KDE-base? [02:42] if Linux was secure, we wouldn't have remote vulnerabilities and kernel patches each week [02:42] Dr_Willis: "virus" [02:42] drizzt_: I never said it was 100% secure or something like that [02:42] !ot [02:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:44] sebsebseb: i forgot, but everything is runningg fine though.. [02:44] calibre: I know, but you should be able to find a file that was saved onto your Windows partition, like this [02:44] Well...what are some good general packages I should have installed?

[03:03] <|_ocke> pvl1, same system [03:03] <|_ocke> it hasn't happened to me [03:03] <|_ocke> but she's been freaking out about it the last few days [03:03] Vilemaxim: isnt this an IP ? inet6 addr: fe80::240:caff:fe8f:ac65/64 Scope:Link [03:03] <|_ocke> it seems to happen most often when she's doing things like uploading pics on facebook [03:03] |_ocke: it may be shes minimizing things to the tray, or somthing thta shes not aware of her doing. [03:03] can someone please tell me what this means?? To install jlscp as an extension just copy jlscp.jar in the following directory: /jre/lib/ext [03:03] |_ocke, is she doing anything specific when it crashes? like youtube, games, etc? [03:03] Hi all! [03:03] CheckMate, did u install the jdk? [03:03] <|_ocke> Dr_Willis, no it's not that, she's literate enough to find it if she does that [03:03] <|_ocke> i've seen it happen [03:04] yharrow, no [03:04] oho k [03:04] <|_ocke> firefox will just disappear and hwne she runs it again it gives the 'restore windows' screen [03:04] |_ocke: so its just the browser that does it? [03:04] How do I re-install grub to /dev/sda using a USB stick with 32bit ubuntu on it (but the system to rescue is 64bit)? [03:04] <|_ocke> but she says it happens when she's doin gother things too like looking at pictures and stuff [03:04] pvl1; yes... command which java returns: /usr/bin/java [03:04] rapha, lol [03:04] <|_ocke> i haven't seen it happen with anything but the browser but she insists it's happening on all sorts of programs [03:04] rapha: chroot into the installed system. and use the proper commands. [03:04] Vilemaxim: DHCPDISCOVER on eth2 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 keeps going... [03:05] yharrow, ip are 4 set of number between 0-255 usally soemthing like 192.168.0.22 [03:05] pvl1; i installed the sun jdk [03:05] <|_ocke> she wants me to somehow go back to karmic [03:05] Dr_Willis: 32bit usb stick. 64 bit installed system. does not work. [03:05] CheckMate, ok did u install from the package manager [03:05] rapha get a 64bit rescue cd!!! [03:05] drizzt_: what is so funny about that? [03:05] pvl1; yes from synaptic [03:05] yharrow, are you sure eth2 is your nix [03:05] nic [03:05] ya [03:05] drizzt_: what is so funny about that? [03:05] rapha, boot loaders are usually architecture-independent, as the filesystems [03:05] yharrow, ifconfig -a [03:05] sudo [03:05] can I boot the LiveCD to a terminal only setup? [03:06] neil_d, no [03:06] hutty: i got 5KB/sec downstream ... unless you would know me something rly small i dont think i can get it [03:06] pvl1; i think I just need to move that jar file but I am confused as to where it needs to go [03:06] neil_d, knoppix use to be able to do that [03:06] neil_d, download alternate or network install cd [03:06] |_ocke, well either a) its minimizing as willis said or b) shes got a plugin thats crashing, or something alike. ask her to run firefox --debug in a terminal [03:06] neil_d try singlemode [03:06] hutty: how? [03:06] <|_ocke> ok i'll have her do that [03:06] yharrow, is there other ethss in there [03:06] <|_ocke> what will the results be [03:06] CheckMate, yes ur right. if u go into synaptic and find the jdk, u can check the installed files in its properties to see the directories [03:06] yharrow, eth0 eth1 [03:06] drizzt_: true, but when i try to "grub-install /dev/sda" directly from the live usb stick, it throws wierd error messages at me [03:06] ath0, eth2, lo, pan0 [03:06] CheckMate: java installs to a specific location where it keeps all its 'support files' thats its home. I dont recall how to find its home - Theres proverly som3e command that tells it. [03:06] <|_ocke> it's not minimizing, i checked it out [03:07] <|_ocke> the process actually goes away [03:07] |_ocke, itll just give u the debug info into th terminal [03:07] <|_ocke> and it does it instantly, no lockup period [03:07] neil_d, or you can install Gnome and then remove everything except base system [03:07] |_ocke, i meant to run that in a terminal. that way we can see whats goin on maybe [03:07] <|_ocke> ok [03:07] pvl1; looks like most go to /usr/lib/jvm [03:07] rapha, maybe you should present them here, they are important [03:07] yharrow, not sure what to make of that. [03:07] <|_ocke> that's a good start [03:07] neil_d what cd are you booting from? [03:08] pvl1; but i dont see anything similar to: jre/lib/ext [03:08] Vilemaxim: no other eth. pan0 possibly? [03:08] ath0 is my wifi [03:08] anyone know how to get intel and opengl working properly [03:08] yharrow, I would check the ip given to you and set your eth2 to that network manually [03:08] hutty: 9.04 ubuntu livecd [03:08] err.. [03:08] yharrow, I think pan0 is bluetooth.. [03:08] ok [03:09] so um what do i do? [03:09] yharrow, connect by wifi [03:09] neil_d, so you have to install gui version first [03:09] eth2 has no ip [03:09] smoke_, u mean intel integrated graphics? [03:09] yharrow, see the ip address it give you [03:09] i connected throug ha router [03:09] then remover gnome and X etc [03:09] through a router [03:09] neil_d and do you mean to install via the textmode? [03:09] pvl1: yeah [03:09] yharrow, I thought wifi was working [03:09] smoke_, how do u know opengl isnt workign [03:09] wifi on the router [03:10] yeah [03:10] is there something i need to do with ubuntu to get kms working with it ? [03:10] neil_d or just drop to a terminal [03:10] hutty: no! I just don't want any gui, just the terminal in livecd mode (not enough memory on computer) [03:10] router has DHCP turned on [03:10] yharrow, and where your wireless is put to?

[03:11] neil_d ok then you need to be able to see the grub menu before auto boot kicks in understand? [03:12] stoneDJay: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [03:12] smoke_, ok. and kms is seperate from the opengl question? and how can u confirm that opengl is in fact not workign [03:12] neil_d, so just switch to console while it boots and kill Xorg etc [03:12] What's the name of the webcam broadcaster that Empathy uses?

I've had soemthing simular, which is why I wanted to test setting it by ip. [03:32] rapha, use --root-directory=XX to install grub onto host's linux partition [03:32] I had all sorts of issues getting the binary nvidia driver working on an XFX gt260 yesterday [03:33] rapha no level 2 is fine my mistake so you have no cd on the laptop? hence usb booting [03:33] Anyone in here does robotics or AI? [03:33] had to blacklist the stock driver and then install binary to get x configured and actually working [03:33] SocialistPig do you know a quick way to get bcm4329 module loaded? is it in the stock install? [03:33] trying to look up the commands I found yesterday give me a minute [03:33] k [03:33] hutty: there's a cd drive alright, i'm just too lazy to burn a cd and don't have the iso anymore either - usb or cd, what gives, again [03:34] and no that I cant help ya with [03:34] drizzt_: it's crunching data... sounds good :P [03:34] How can I make a CD to install ubuntu with a bunch of additional packages, themes, and settings that I specify? [03:34] can you run cfdisk /dev/sda and see what you get [03:35] pidgin blew up on me, any tips on getting some forensics for a bug report?

[03:36] Palestine, you using boot CD or installed ubuntu?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:36] even on wifi [03:36] haha I know .. sorry :D [03:36] wildbat realy i downloaded the iso file and i booted from the CD then i got msg [03:37] Im typing the question now [03:37] hi i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and my resolution in X11 is wider than my physical screen size, problem is i cant see any menu bars, or anything just the wallpaper. to my dismay i didnt see an xorg.conf exist, and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didnt do anything... any help please? [03:37] Vilemaxim: thanks a ton for the help ^.^ [03:37] Amburr: what video card [03:37] drizzt_: okay, so i got a bare grub now on /dev/sda, but it looks like it didn't understand it was supposed to read /dev/sda2'S /boot/grub/menu.lst. grub2 does boot ext4 directly, right? [03:38] yes [03:38] Palestine, check your ISO with md5 and burn in lowest speed ~ check the CD integrity, with shift key hld down while boot [03:38] !md5sum | Palestine [03:38] Palestine: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:38] rapha, try to boot manually and run update-grub from target system [03:39] droolpal Nvidia GTS 260 [03:39] amburr if possible you want to install the latest nvidia binary driver from system > administration > hardware drivers === user__ is now known as Rondo === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:39] this failed for me yesterday on a nvidia gt260 card [03:39] Amburr, the latest nvidia-current driver has overscan correction [03:39] you should try it if it fails run in low graphics mode and come back [03:39] I play quakelive, and installed ubuntu 10.04 just now. I use the newest propritary nvidia drivers, and have an regular TFT-monitor. When I start the game, I have 125fps(max) and everything is smooth as ever. But when I activate the visual effects: normal (compiz) and start quakelive. I still get 125fps but everything laggs like hell? :( I really want to use the smooth effects all the time? Any idea? [03:40] hi I'm new to kubuntu can anybody tell me how to minimize the eyecandy-type effects? [03:40] maybe ill have found the fix that saved me yesterday =/ === Boldfilter_ is now known as Boldfilter [03:40] wildbat can't find cd [03:40] i use virual pc, [03:41] anyone NFS guru or mount drive guru [03:41] Palestine, check your ISO with md5sum then [03:41] Amburr, is this on a desktop lcd or a TV through HDMI? nvidia-settings should show a overscan adjuster under DFP-0 (or whatever monitor it is). If youdon't want to use the GUI, I'm not sure, I'm looking for a CLI solution myself, nvidia-settings or nvidia-xconfig should be able to somehow [03:41] ok i will wildbat [03:42] I have a geforce 6800 gt with default recommended driver and still I'm finding navigation of menus and dolphin in general to be more sluggish than it should be [03:42] amburr: otherwise perhaps it's an edid issue, maybe you can figure out some custom modelines to restrict the area that x draws to [03:42] drizzt_: it did an fs check and then it said "mount: / not mounted already, or bad option" and "mountall: filesystem could not be mounted: /" [03:43] <[--X--]> anyone knows why some mp3 converted using pacpl won't play in portable devices(iPhone, Handphones)? [03:43] "The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files" is the message left by my desktop when i try to change switch users [03:43] strange [03:44] I have raid0 partition i want to mount on booting, not sure how to set it up to do sutch on ubuntu ? [03:44] drizzt_: i didnt know what to fill in for the "search" command in grub, so i only gave "linux" and "initrd" and then said "boot". [03:44] Hey guys [03:44] rapha, had you passed --root=/dev/sda2 to kernel? [03:45] Rondo: why not us gnome desktop then? [03:45] drizzt_: also got to mention that i'm trying to restore a formerly backed-up system that used to be on reiserfs on /dev/sda1 and is now supposed to be on ext4 on /dev/sda2. [03:45] wildbat all result no such file or dir [03:45] drizzt_: i had ggive nit root=/dev/sda2 without the "--" [03:45] * rapha tries again [03:45] Palestine, ? [03:46] Rondo: use a nice theme and something like cairo-dock and it looks great, moves quick, ive got a 6800gt and have no lag at all [03:46] mkquist: I liked a lot about gnome for some time until pulse forced me to switch to kubuntu. is it possible to use gnome as window manager and still have kde manage the audio for my applications? because jack is working flawlessly [03:47] Rondo: not sure on that one... [03:48] hey guys [03:48] wildbat i downloaded another tool to check sum my iso wait [03:48] Hi all! I am using webmin to configure my dhcp server. All is fine, except that the server does not start on boot, and I can find no place to configure that. Help? [03:48] does anyone know how to run unity in a similar way to gnome shell's "gnome-shell --replace" ? [03:49] drizzt_: just did it again trying to pay attention to the messages flying by, and it does say at one point that /dev/sda2 was mounted okay, but then comes the mess-up again. [03:49] wildbat i got md5 hash ! [03:49] Does google chrome sync my bookmarks somewhere? [03:50] Palestine, check if that matach the iso hash from the web site ~ if not you got a bad download. [03:50] I have got a proxy (ssh tunnel) which works well when used with firefox (setting: localhost myport sock5), how can I use it with gnome-network-properties ? [03:50] halp... i have no sound... i uninstalled gnome and use only fluxbox... but my sound doesnt work anymor [03:50] anymore* [03:50] strange... i'm out of options, I'm afraid [03:50] <[--X--]> lyrae: your google account [03:50] drizzt_: just found on an external harddrive a 9.10 server ISO which is 64bit ... i could burn that to a CD ... think that would help? [03:50] mkquist: imagine JACK automatically serving as a sort of master sound server in RT (even mozilla flash) on startup. I couldn't go back to gnome now, but all the transparencies and window animations are bothering me [03:50] [--X--], is it public? [03:50] what is gnome shell, how do you install it, is it included in the fresh install, does it replace gnome? lol lots of questions [03:50] when i try aplay -l the card is right there [03:50] where can i i vew it? [03:50] <[--X--]> lyrae, it shouldn't be, not that I know of, [03:50] <[--X--]> lyrae, you can go to google docs [03:51] [--X--], thank you [03:51] <[--X--]> lyrae, it should be there under bookmarks or something close to that [03:51] <[--X--]> lyrae, you're welcome [03:51] rapha, you may certainly try, but i'm not sure about result [03:51] what is gnome shell, how do you install it, is it included in the fresh install, does it replace gnome? lol lots of questions please answer at least one question [03:51] mkquist: is there a way to "break" the features, similar to uninstalling compiz? [03:52] @lyrae it syncs them google.com/bookmarks [03:52] ubuntu works with pulseaudio or alsa? [03:52] i mean... iguess theres no point on having both installed [03:52] molex333, thank you. so i dont even need the xmarks plug in then.. [03:52] wildbat same md5 [03:53] Engrish_Man: ALSA manages the device drivers, Pulse routs the signals around [03:53] lyrae: nope [03:53] MoLE_, got it. thanks [03:53] Rondo: not used kubuntu for ages... sry [03:53] no prob [03:53] hmmm there is a point then u.u [03:53] mkquist: sok thx neway [03:53] i better install pulse then [03:53] Palestine, same md5 but you fail to boot the CD? [03:53] Rondo, I believe you can choose the window manager somewhere [03:54] myrl: it's included. it's part of the default installation for the 'ubuntu-desktop.iso' [03:54] yes [03:54] !webmin [03:54] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:54] thanks [03:54] Engrish_Man: removing pulse means having to do a lot of reconfiguring. if it's not causing problems then stick with it, it can be handy [03:54] !ebox [03:54] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [03:54] wildbat i got "initramfs unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [03:54] onetinsoldier what does gnome shell do [03:55] before i install ubuntu, did they fix that X server memory leak that was in the beta? [03:55] Palestine, that weird what VM you using? [03:55] virtual pc [03:55] drizzt_: ok thanks [03:56] how do one quit x? [03:56] i used it before and work very good with ubuntu server 10,ubuntu desktop 8 [03:56] K350, exit session manager [03:56] Palestine, set the VM with IDE cd-rom yet?? [03:57] cd rom ? [03:57] drizzt_: thanks:-) [03:57] myrl: it's all part of the desktop environment. that would be another name you could call it. the gnome-panels, gnome-indicator-applet, a number of default gnome applications... the menu.... things of that nature [03:57] onetinsoldier oh ok XD thanks!! [03:57] man i use virual PC(virtual machine) so i release the iso file and start flying [03:57] Palestine, ya you trying to bo the CD right? [03:57] is there someway to share a internet connection over an ethernet cable? [03:57] should I just get used to the window buttons being on the left or is there an easy way to change them back? [03:57] (i do have a twisted cable) [03:57] how do i get jacksense to work?? [03:57] drizzt_: uh, that just closed my terminal [03:58] Dawgmatix, it's rather complicated [03:58] wildbat yes i trying to boot the iso file to install ubuntu 10 [03:58] K350, how did you started X? [03:58] drizzt -> i am okay with complicated :) [03:58] drizzt_: I typed startx [03:58] if you can just give me a pointer on what to search for, i will be fine (am a fairly advanced linux user) [03:58] Palestine, you confused me ~ release the file? you mount the iso to the virtual CD-ROM and boot [03:59] Dawgmatix, try firestarter [03:59] royall changing them back is easy [03:59] yes [03:59] thanks :) [03:59] is there a netinstall/mini version of ubuntu server? [03:59] can't seem to find one [03:59] fastest way is change theme to clearlooks or with one from gnome-look [03:59] rapha how does your wifi machine connect to you 3g machine [03:59] hello [03:59] hello all first time here [04:00] hi badnaam [04:00] badly need some networking advice [04:00] i got this error when im upgrading my ubuntu [04:00] hello badnaam [04:00] Errors were encountered while processing: [04:00] /var/cache/apt/archives/update-manager-core_1%3a0.134.7_amd64.deb [04:00] Segmentation fault [04:00] Matr|x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] hutty: i created an AdHoc WLAN network on the 3G machine and have firestarter rnning to share the connection as i couldnt be bothered to find out myself how to work with iptables [04:00] badnaam: just ask === kevr1 is now known as kevr [04:00] K350, that's strange, X should die when xterm or whatever in .xinitrc exits [04:01] my wired ethernet hooked to the same router as the wireless, doesn't work [04:01] guh. [04:01] plz help [04:01] me [04:01] rapha I was thinking of trying the same idea but wasn't sure what to use someone suggested vpn! [04:01] it was working just fine, both wired and wireless, then it just stopped, I verified that the card is ok, by booting into a windows 7 instance [04:01] what is gnome shell ? [04:02] So my laptop overheated in the final stages of dist-upgrade, right at 'removing obsolete packages.. Is there any way to manually, or automatically, finish off this dist-upgrade to 10 LTS [04:02] i need help plz [04:02] the cable is fine too, I have done the usual networking restart, etc. [04:02] hutty: a vpn would probably work as well but i'd think it'd be kind of overkill [04:02] more details here..http://pastie.org/954816 [04:02] Found it. Instead of being part of the dhcpd module config (as it should be), it is in System->Bootup and Shutdown (where it also should be). [04:02] rapha maybe when your fixed up we can talk more [04:02] badnaam, have you tried just manually inputting whatever IP settings windows gave it? [04:03] Ubuntu 10.04 Realtek 8187b small alcance. [04:03] anyone/ [04:03] drizzt_: I think I am..or didn't login properly..bease I can't shut the machine down normaly unless I switch user and switch back again [04:03] alket: it's all part of the desktop environment. that would be another name you could call it. the gnome-panels, gnome-indicator-applet, a number of default gnome applications. nautilus, the file manager, is a big part of it... the menus.... things of that nature [04:03] the ip settings look fine in ifconfig, it even gets an ip from the router [04:03] kristopher: if `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` doesn't give you any new packages to install, you've successfully "upgraded". The easiest way of removing the old packages would be to go into synaptic, check out the "local or obsolete packages" category, and then remove the ones you want from there [04:03] Qiller, the 8187b works fine [04:03] i tried putting ip settings in network manager systray applet, but it doesn't make any difference [04:03] Does anyone have any suggestions for a media player that can play streamed content from media servers like Windows Media Player (Sharing), Tversity, etc...? Preferably one with an intuitive interface like the PS3/Xbox/WMP offers [04:03] onetinsoldier so there wont be a major change for an end user like me [04:04] droolpal yes, wirk fine! small alcance! [04:04] Flannel, what does it do after clean-up old packages, though? Do I have to redo grub and other nooks and crannies? [04:04] droolpal 5 meters +- [04:04] alket: no. i suppose not [04:04] hey can someone tell me what program I need to install the gnome bluetooth applet? [04:04] kurtis: I use Mplayer [04:04] kristopher: Does it boot? [04:04] is is gnome-applets? [04:04] Can someone please help me with telnet? [04:04] is it [04:04] kristopher the ip settings windows gave it are same as what ubuntu does [04:04] onetinsoldier great because I don't want to start learning new things like gnome shell [04:05] kristopher: (it /should/ be doing all of that stuff as its installing/upgrading packages) [04:05] Munchkinguy: help with what in regards to telnet? [04:05] droolpal havent alternatives to configure more alcance? [04:05] qiller, I don't know about that. it's working on one of my laptops at ~10m === user__ is now known as TKMin [04:05] kurtis VLC might be useful [04:05] alket: it's all part of the default installation of 'ubuntu-dekstop'. you can gsee that you have it install with --> dpkg -l gnome-desktop-environment [04:05] starcnti: How can I make it so that instead of displaying the file that I access, it downloads it instead? [04:06] Hi, I just switched to Lucid and I'm tinkering in the power management area. The option to "Do Nothing" when the power button is pressed appears to be missing. Does anyone know where it went or how to fix it? [04:06] droolpal hmm, win 7, i use that fine, more using ubuntu... omg small alcance! [04:06] http://pastie.org/958160 [04:06] eny body help me plz [04:06] starcnti: i think one is installed by default, but i like blueman [04:06] http://pastie.org/958160 [04:06] hutty: I looked into that. Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to do common tasks like browsing available videos/music and available media servers. [04:06] Munchkinguy: what are you connecting to with telnet? not telnetd of course? [04:06] Flannel, yah it boots just dandy, short of looking for the wrong harddisk first. [04:07] well mkquist I don't have a default install lol [04:07] starcnti: use blueman then, works well for me [04:07] Flannel, is there a link to all the steps it takes in the final stages of dist-upgrade? [04:07] Qiller, yes, I've noticed the radio is not as strong with it. I'm just happy it finally works without issue. You could try a newer driver if one exists, back up and compile a new one [04:07] hi all. i recently installed a kernel update on my Karmic server and my SiI raid card has disappeared from /dev/mapper, but lspci sees the device and the right kernel driver is in use. any idea on how i can diagnose/get my raid array back?

Have you tried running update-manager again? [04:07] sorry:( [04:08] Yah, It appears to be done. [04:08] Any other things that might help in debugging? [04:08] !patience | Matr|x [04:08] Matr|x: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [04:08] Qiller, no problem. Thanks for teaching me "distance" en espanol! [04:08] I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me get rid of the fglrx and install radeonhd [04:08] sorry [04:08] I just recall, ubuntu doing a couple of things at the end, after it removes the old kernels and what not [04:08] Hmmm [04:08] wildbat i got new problem, when i hit install ubuntu its work like try ubuntu wothout install!!! [04:08] starcnti: I don't have telnetd installed. Does it do what I was asking about? [04:09] kristopher: Yeah, you can do all that by hand (kernels are just packages) through the "local and obsolete" packages [04:09] natalief: i can try [04:09] Munchkinguy: you don't want to use telnetd === mdel-away is now known as mdel [04:10] Sorry, alcance means "Scope, range, reach" in Spanish, not distance [04:10] what are you trying to accomplish Munchkinguy ? cp files from one Linux box to another? [04:10] Yup, I'm decently versed in that stuff. I think the initial shock of "My computer shutoff during an upgrade" makes me feel like other things are wrong. [04:10] droolpal hehe i'm from brazil [04:10] eny help plz see >>> http://pastie.org/958165 [04:10] Palestine, is install in the "try ubuntu" too ~ [04:11] Matr|x: Oh, dist-upgrade problem [04:11] onetinsoldier: I have done a complete purge of fglrx and install of the xorg-edgers ppa but I can't seem to actually switch to the radeonhd [04:11] wildbat install ubuntu and try ubuntu wothout install same [04:11] Quiller, ahh, Portuguese. My mistake! [04:11] is that very bad? [04:11] Matr|x: I'm not sure. Do you have backups? [04:11] MoLE_, google.com/bookmarks, it doesnt have any of my bookmarks in there [04:11] starcnti: I'm trying to download an MP3 file. So when I access it with telnet, I just get a bunch of binary junk in the terminal. [04:11] yet, chrome says it was synced 3 mins ago [04:11] auehueah [04:12] any thoughts on the networking issue, complete details here..I will wait patiently :) http://pastie.org/958162 [04:12] Munchkinguy: use wget [04:12] join #ubuntu-bugs-announce [04:12] im on remote machine brother [04:12] natalief: pretty much, you would just get rid of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. rename it, delete it or whatever. the, restart x [04:12] wget http://link.com.mp3 [04:12] Palestine, i have try vbox and vmware ~ but not virtual pc ... so i don't there should have any problem ~ or you may wanna try thr alternate install CD [04:12] see also this erros http://pastie.org/958165 [04:12] Munchkinguy: do that...use wget http://filename.mp3 [04:12] that will get you what you want from the terminal [04:13] onetinsoldier: would it automatically create a new xorg.conf or would I need to use dpkg-reconfigure [04:13] wildbat thank u i bothered u, but i try virual pc and work very good [04:13] i will try vmware [04:13] natalief: the normal method is to have no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at all. but if that doesn't seem to work out, then try the command you listed [04:14] onetinsoldier: thank you... I will give that a try [04:14] natalief: ok, good luck [04:14] Matr|x: What happens when you do "locate logging.py"? [04:15] natalief: if you gave just now purged all the fglrx packages, you might want to even reboot [04:15] nothing happend [04:15] Ah [04:15] starcnti: I know about wget, although this is a rather particular situation. I am trying to access content from the Overdrive Media Libary (the provide ebooks for public libraries) without installing the proprietary Overdrive Download Manager (they don't support linux). In order to download the file, I need to send a somewhat complicated command, which is shown at http://pastebin.org/228538 [04:15] 10.04 is really good, KMS, 3d, Xv and compiz on 2 monitors? no problem :) [04:15] is there a way to have the arrival of new messages retrieved through fetchmail shown in the notification box?! [04:16] Hi folks, I'm trying to clarify something. Can you do whole disk encryption using the desktop install? Previously, you needed the alternate cd, but has this changed? [04:16] my jacksense doesnt work and my network logo doesnt show up on my panel === bart_ is now known as Bart0 [04:16] oh drizzt went away :( [04:16] hutty: sure [04:16] Hello, i just upgraded my Ubuntu to the latest one, now i have no X what can be? [04:16] Matr|x: Oh, my bad. logging isn't a single file. Try "locate logging | grep py" [04:16] Hello, I'm having trouble logging in with SSH from non-administrator accounts. Anyone know anything about this? I'm running 9.04. [04:17] /usr/lib/python2.6/logging [04:17] mortal1: i havent seen an encryption option for the desktop cd [04:17] well, for homes there was [04:17] Matr|x: Is this a server? [04:17] yea [04:17] Arg! So many join/leaves [04:17] remote server [04:18] Hello [04:18] anybody Online? [04:18] Oh, goody, that makes things a bit trickier. [04:18] bet0x: see if you can come up with an error message to post. use pastebin if it's multiple lines. maybe even pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the room [04:18] rapha how are you getting on with grub? [04:18] yes [04:19] it was working fine from two days [04:19] can someone help me get my wireless connection working on my laptop? [04:19] and i had rest from my work then im back now to work and nothing work on the server:( [04:20] dekadent whats up? [04:20] is netboot available for lucid? [04:20] particularly server edition? [04:20] anyone know how to share folders from ubuntu to through virtual box, as a medium, into the virtual os(windows xp for me)????? [04:20] hutty, hi, i dont know what the problem is, my dell latitude d600 just had ubuntu installed on it, broadcom wireless card making a connection but won't work [04:20] hutty: i have my system booting now when i manually enter all the ocmmands, but i think since this is an upgraded system i'm running grub1 which loads grub2, or something ... in any case i can't get it to be like it should [04:21] keenken, yeah you have to make a folder you want to share then use the command vboxmanage sharedfolder [04:21] What a brilliant idea, let apt-get keep going when dpkg dies. [04:22] hutty: it's not made better by the fact that it's already 5:21 AM and i havent slept for like 24 hours [04:22] keenken, once you get the command to go through, on XP, use this command on cmd [04:22] dekadent, i shared a folder though the device tab at bottom of virtual and i cant see it? how do i get to it? [04:22] rapha just leave it till tomorrow [04:22] and why its dead [04:23] keenken, "use net p: ..." i forgot the rest [04:23] keenan, use net p: \\vsrvr\"name of virtual files folder here" or something [04:23] Euh my computer sort of randomly shut down, but Freenode didn't log me off. Funny. [04:23] hutty: can't, it's my gf's pc and since i broke it, if its not fixed and she notices, i'll be one head shorter [04:23] keenken, of course make sure you have guest additions installed [04:23] dekadent can you ping anyone? [04:23] lol rapha [04:23] hutty, any idea what i can do to get this wireless card working [04:23] Anyhow, it there a way to dump the output of telnet? [04:24] dekadent, oic i don't think i do [04:24] Matr|x: whereis python ? === Munchkinguy_ is now known as Munchkinguy [04:24] hutty, hmmm i don tknow how to do that [04:24] hutty, or how to tell if it worked [04:24] I'm just racking my brains on what it might be. [04:25] rapha better do a clean install then! [04:25] hutty not possible with a 5kb downstream connection i could never download all the additional .deb packages [04:25] hutty i think i almost have it [04:25] hey, I need some help/advice with my hd setup in lucid lynx - any takers? [04:26] what you need donald [04:26] keenan, in your VM go to devices, install guest additions [04:26] ok - here's my situation ... [04:26] donaldbrasco: hd as in high defintion or as in har ddisk? [04:26] can anyone tell me how to check if i can ping someone? [04:26] hard drives [04:26] Matr|x: How you worked with the Python interactive interpreter before? [04:27] k [04:27] I have my laptop (compaq v6120us) setup with dual boot - windows mce and lucid lynx [04:27] dekadent open atreminal and type ping www.google.com [04:27] it was very goooooooooooooooood [04:27] very cool [04:27] I also have a external hard drive [04:27] dekadent open a treminal and type ping www.google.com [04:27] it working fine from two days ago [04:27] dekadent: open a terminal ("Anwendungen > Zubehör > Terminal" and type "ping 141.1.1.1" [04:27] does anyone here use privoxy? [04:28] Hi. [04:28] hutty, unknown host www.google.com [04:28] ok so whats the problem donald [04:28] donaldbrasco: sounds like a setup many here should havre as well [04:28] I have ubuntu setup the way I want it and I want to dedicate the system to ubuntu only. Also, with my external, I can't write to the drive in ubuntu. [04:28] dekadent: what about the 141.1.1.1? [04:28] Matr|x: In the terminal, start up the python interactive interpreter by running "python" [04:28] dekadent open a treminal and type ping 127.0.0.1 [04:28] hutty, yes that works [04:29] python [04:29] Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41) [04:29] [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 [04:29] Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. [04:29] >>> [04:29] Matr|x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:29] dekadent: 141.1.1.1 too? [04:29] uhh [04:29] my plan was to format the partition with windows on it and then copy the contents of the external drive onto it, format it through ubuntu, then copy the contents back to the external [04:29] well first thing first donald open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install gparted [04:29] Matr|x: run "import logging" from there [04:29] anyone see a problem with that plan? [04:29] does anyone know how to stop the "default keyring" from popping up everytime I reboot... I have my rig set to auto login, and I do not have a wireless nic but I do have a bluetooth keyboard... could that be it? [04:29] rapha, network is unreachable [04:29] When I upgraded my Ubuntu from 9 to 10 it also upgraded my php from 5.2 to 5.3 I need php back to 5.2. How do I do that? [04:30] dekadent: okay, so you can't ping the internet (i.e. the outside world). how is that computer connected, and who do you want to talk with? [04:30] can anybody personally recommend a place to get paid ubuntu support? [04:30] wildbat worked it was very slow [04:30] ubuntu should be able to read your external drive [04:30] adante: canonical.com [04:30] rapha why that ip? [04:30] no matter its partition [04:30] xangua: how did you find it? and which did you use? [04:30] hutty: Tier 1 nameserver, good to memorise and always up. [04:30] rapha, the computer supposedly (according to what it says) has a connection to my router, as does this computer, but it can't access the internet [04:30] Palestine, huh? [04:30] adante: canonical is the company that develops ubuntu [04:30] darn it, lxde does not include a single white on black color theme [04:30] Palestine, VMware? [04:30] dekadent: pleasy pastie the output of "route -n" [04:31] i dón't see the bot :( [04:31] adante: canonical.com (they sponsor ubuntu) [04:31] rapha Teir 1 very geeky!!! [04:31] lol the vitual pc and ubuntu 10! worked but the virual pc was very slow i was think its not working :\ [04:31] rapha, and for some reason it doesnt have an ip in the same format as the other machines on my router [04:31] hutty isnt it :-) [04:31] adante: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/services [04:31] donald try unplugging the drive and plugging it back in [04:31] rapha, it has some different number format [04:31] dekadent: pls give examples of both [04:31] I did [04:31] didn't work [04:31] then go to system administration disk utility and see if it shows up [04:31] whats the point of using pulseaudio? [04:32] rapha, this comp: 192.168.1.x, that machine 10.42.43.1 [04:32] xangua, UrbanGreenZone, Flannel : have you actually tried this service? i have not been able to find any info on the quality of the service hence why i was asking for personal recommendations [04:32] rapha, the output is long i have no way of pasting it, can i provide you with some specific info? [04:32] it just keeps saying, no matter what I try, that I don't have write permission [04:32] can anyone help me to generate an xorg.conf that uses the radeonhd driver [04:32] oh [04:33] open a terminal and type sudo nautilus [04:33] then try and open the drive [04:33] like I said, I want to take windows off completely as well - can I do that without reformatting the whole internal drive [04:33] yes [04:33] dekadent: yes, if i say pastie i mean to use a service like pastie.org [04:33] sudo apt-get install gparted [04:33] socialistpig - I did that [04:33] SocialistPig: you should use 'gksu' for nautilus really [04:33] dekadent: the ip of that machine implies that you created your own AdHoc WLAN. i suggest you check that and disable it if there is one. [04:34] i tried sudo nautilus and gksu, neither worked [04:34] rapha, i cant use pastie.org beacuse that machine has noa ccess to the internet! [04:34] how do I stop the keyring manager from popping up after every reboot... system is set to autologin [04:34] gparted will allow you to delete the windows partition [04:34] rapha, ok how can i do that? [04:34] and change the ubuntu one [04:34] dekadent oyu can select with your mouse then while text is highlited select copy from the treminal edit menu [04:34] onetinsoldier: I followed your instructions and I got gdm restarted... but I currently have no xorg.conf... is there a way to generate one that will use the radeonhd [04:34] btw running 10.04 [04:35] to take up the extra space as far as the external drive im not quite sure [04:35] hutty, it's on my laptop though [04:35] dekadent: true, good point lol ... well, for me i just click the networkmanager icon in the top right corner and then click disconnect [04:35] rapha, that's what i did [04:35] I'm installing gparted now [04:35] rapha, so now what should i do? [04:36] natalief: that i'm not so sure on how to do... just wanted to get you having X back at least. you can try the 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' command maybe. not sure [04:36] dekadent: try to connect again, to the WLAN your other machine connects to [04:36] rapha, it doesnt show any wireless networks in the drop down menu when i click on that thing that looks like radio waves [04:36] donald could you type the exact message you get when you try and access external drive? [04:36] onetinsoldier: unfortunately... that particular command doesn't do anything... it just jumps back to a blank command line [04:36] once I delete the windows partition, I can copy external drive to internal one, then reformat the external, then copy back from internal to external [04:37] rapha, it says Wire Network \n disconnected, Wireless Networks, \n disconnected and both are gray [04:37] dekadent: what does it look like when you _right_ click it? [04:37] yes - one minute [04:37] rapha, 3 things are checked, enable net, enable wireless, enable notifiactions [04:37] I have read permission - the problem is when I try to write to it [04:37] rapha, then edit connections... and about [04:37] it's formatted in fat32 [04:37] 320g drive [04:37] hutty: got it! laptop's booting on its own again, yay! [04:37] does it have a switch on it [04:38] no [04:38] to enable/disable write protection [04:38] no [04:38] natalief: hmm, try.... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [04:38] dekadent: sounds right. what if you left click it and then select "connect to hidden network" or whatever it is called and just blindly enter your router's info? === tom_ is now known as twoflowers [04:38] rapha, thats how i got that funky IP address [04:38] rapha, which says "connected" but doesnt actually provide internet access [04:39] rapha good one you wont be getting ear bashed now! [04:39] onetinsoldier: same thing... nothing happens [04:39] natalief: but i'm not really sure. you might be able to tell what driver it's currently using with the following command... grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:39] dekadent: my guess is you mis-clicked and chose "create network" instead of "connect to hidden network" as they're right next to each other [04:39] rapha, oh actually, maybe i used create a new network [04:39] hutty: indeed! :-) [04:39] rapha, .. yeah [04:39] :-) [04:39] natalief: see if someone else knows how to get you further along. you do have X back now though, right? [04:40] rapha, i think i tried this once, and like its doing now, it just sat there trying to connect [04:40] onetinsoldier: yes I do [04:40] donald try running gksu nautilus then go right click on the external drive and change the permissions to owned by your user name/you are allowed to read/write then apply to all files inside [04:41] socialistpig: weird - all my files and folders on the external are displayed with some sort of wingdings font [04:41] right click and go to properties [04:41] I tried that before - didn't work [04:41] dekadent: then the only thing i can think of is to open a terminal and type "sudo less -NRI +F /var/log/syslog" and to watch there what happens when you try to connect again; if there's any useful error message... [04:41] so you can copy the files from it to your internal drive? [04:42] I think so [04:42] Pidgin broke on me - used up all available ram, started eating up 4 of 6GiB swap before I stopped it. How can I find out what happened so I can report the bug (if it is a bug) [04:42] yes [04:42] Can someone guide me in either creating new bug report or how to determine an existing one to mark as effecting me? [04:42] ok thats good [04:42] rapha, it says disconnected -> scanning [04:42] I dunno if its gonna let you format it though [04:42] rapha, waiting for data... (interrupt to abort) [04:42] but I would go ahead and remove windows partition and resize ubuntus with gparted [04:43] like I said though, they're all wingdings or something and they have a padlock icon [04:43] dekadent: itll probably spit out more - but rly, if there's nothing useful in there i'm pretty much out of knowledge, sorry :( [04:43] Is there anyone here who might be able to help with an xorg.conf? [04:43] hi! is it possible to mout a specific folder from an external drive using fsatb with UUID? [04:43] dekadent: the "waiting for data" thing belongs to the "less" command - dont worry about that [04:43] actually, not all of them do [04:43] droolpal: see pidgin logs, you can find more help in #pidgin [04:43] does anyone know how to get the "standard" notification theme in command line install [04:44] depends on the problem nata [04:44] rapha, now it says, activation (wlan0/wireless): association took too long. [04:44] rapha, and [04:44] hi.....my computer wont boot into ubuntu at all. it just gives me a blank screen with a blinking icon after booting into bios. is this a problem with grub, or a bios issue? [04:44] k3rn: I don't see how. UUIDs belong to partitions, not folders. What are you trying to do? [04:44] dekadent: stupid question, but did you reboot the machine already? [04:44] rapha, (wlan0): device state change: 5->6 (reason0) [04:44] rapha, absolutely [04:44] rapha, several times [04:45] atleticomadrid: how long did you wait after the blinking cursor [04:45] natalief: left it there all afternoon one time [04:45] anyone know how I would go about getting fan/temperature controls working correctly in 10.04 on a dell inspiron 1525? have looked around and have not been able to find much. currently the fan goes 100% at all times [04:45] ocmsRzr: i believe you are refering to notification-daemon [04:46] Loshki: i want to mount a specific folder of the external to a specific point in the filesystem. [04:46] even when the system is idling [04:46] atleticomadrid: did the install go without any problems? [04:46] xangua: yea... but there is no theme with it... [04:46] natalief: yes, ive been running ubuntu fine for about 6 months. just happened the other night [04:46] xangua: the default theme is the one that comes with debian [04:46] and the system still heats up quite a bit. i don't think the cpu scaling is working either then [04:46] !flash [04:46] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:46] dekadent: sorry then, no idea :-/ - maybe you cna find a networkmanager channel and ask them [04:47] socialistpig: when I try to gksu nautilus and change permissions, it just reverts back to the old permissions with no error or anything [04:47] not sure what's going on there [04:47] and the "ubuntu" theme is the old one... from three releases ago [04:47] atleticomadrid: it could be a problem with grub.... thought you should have received an error if it was not loading [04:47] k3rn: Well, you can fake it. Mount the filesystem to a known mount point, then place a link from the filesystem point to the specific folder.... [04:47] or maybe somebody else here can help ... [04:48] natalief: yeah, im not sure if its grub or if its something with the bios. [04:48] anyhow [04:48] i'm off to bed [04:48] hutty: talk to you "tomorrow", whenever that is now [04:48] Loshki: yea, i think thats how i'll do it... [04:48] pls where are the instructions for changing the default partition to boot, on lucid [04:48] yo :) I got this Acer R3600 with this remote and all [04:48] donald all I can really think to do is get the data off and then try and format it with gparted [04:48] does anyone think they can help me get my wireless card to work on my laptop in ubuntu? [04:48] now I can't find the receiver in my dev listings... === the is now known as Guest71140 [04:48] rapha np later [04:48] what is going on? [04:48] thanks, I'll try that [04:48] if that doesnt work more investigation will be needed [04:48] atleticomadrid: sounds to me like it may be a problem with the bios not loading the first drive.... have you tried a live disk to make sure you can still access the hard drive? [04:48] using newest ubuntu, 10.04 :) [04:49] how does lucid run on a 13" macbook pro? [04:49] bootcamp? [04:49] Anyone know whether you should use smbfs or cifs with Windows XP? [04:49] dekadent do you have wifi radar installed? [04:49] natalief: yes, itll boot via livecd [04:49] hutty, no [04:49] The wiki says: "smbfs is the "original" method. [04:49] However, smbfs is not compatible with security signatures, which are enabled by default and not recommended to disable on Windows Server 2003 and later. If a share is served by Windows Server 2003 or later, you should use cifs. " [04:50] hutty, should i install it [04:50] isn't bootcamp just windows drivers? [04:50] dekadent it might give you some info [04:50] atleticomadrid: can you change or edit files on the hard drive? [04:50] hutty, ok ill hard wire and install it brb [04:50] Loshki: how do links behave if the drive (mount point) is not present? [04:51] natalief: yes, the hard drive is responsive and everything. think i might need to fsck it? [04:51] I mean to connect to windows share folders on a home network, please. [04:52] atleticomadrid: i actually think you might fsck it at this point [04:53] someone says installing the kerney from karmic koala will fix it [04:53] since apparently the newer kernels break the dell acpi stuff [04:53] Has anyone here managed to get the radeonhd driver to work properly? [04:54] i use a radeon but didnt have to install a driver [04:54] radeon hd [04:54] hutty, i dont think the program will run [04:55] dekadent dont understand [04:55] socialistpig: not 100% sure what I did, but I can write to it now, HOWEVER, I still have the wingding thing going on (¥┌µ─ñφ. [04:55] ) [04:55] not sure what that's about, do you? [04:55] missing fonts [04:55] hutty, when i run wifi-radar in the terminal it says wlan0 interface doesn't support scanning: device or resource busy [04:55] installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:55] may solve this [04:55] * Alcor tst [04:56] Is there a way to stop xchat from notifying me every time someone enters or leaves the room, please? [04:56] dekadent its a gui app [04:56] How can I make a software to appear in one of the applications categories? [04:56] Question: I don't like using mouse middle button to copy and paste immeditely in Ubuntu terminal. In Putty, I can copy the text by selecting and paste later anywhere by right-click. How can I do that? [04:56] hutty, it wont run [04:57] dekadent suggest you reoot [04:57] atleticomadrid: Try holding shift during boot. [04:57] ok now it works. ... ? [04:57] Jordan_U: During Bios or Ubuntu? [04:57] BentSpace: look at the preferences for ignoring that [04:57] how would I go about installing an older kernel? [04:57] * Alcor 's daughter has a mac [04:57] dekadent or even init 1 [04:58] hola XD [04:58] xangua, Thank you. [04:58] hutty, what should i do in wifi radar? [04:58] atleticomadrid: If grub is installed properly, and shift is depressed when grub starts, then grub will show its menu rather than immediately booting into Ubuntu. [04:58] or what kernel version did karmic koala use? [04:58] BentSpace: look for the channel tab, right click on it and untick the 'show join/leave messages' [04:58] Jordan_U: ty ill go try that [04:58] hey friends :D [04:58] atleticomadrid: You're welcome. [04:58] any friend speak spanish? [04:59] dekadent so you have the gui up? [04:59] !es | cloud [04:59] cloud: 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. [04:59] hutty, yea [04:59] hutty, nothing is in the list [04:59] gracias :D [05:00] cloud buines notchies mi nombre es hutty! [05:00] I'm using the new 10.4 ubuntu. Open Personal file sharing and I see a message.. This feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system .. What packages do I need ? [05:00] ah! I finally found the instructions on linuxforums.org. Still, thanks for the help! [05:00] ? can see the ubuntu box on the lan from windows computers. but can't see the windows boxes from ubuntu. how do I fix? [05:00] hola que tal? XD [05:00] dekadent select preferences [05:00] hutty, ok [05:01] How can I make a software appear in one of the applications categories? [05:01] Loshki, Sweet, found it, thank you. That's much better. [05:01] dekadent whats in "wireless device" [05:01] wlan0\ [05:01] wlan0 [05:02] Jordan_U: doesnt get there. i guess its not getting into grub at all. does that mean a bios failure/motherboard issue? [05:02] quick question, what is the command to find all the file that have modifyied today? [05:02] juanca: Create a launcher with the Main Menu, I think [05:02] HI all!! "fetchmail -L /var/log/fetchmail" gives me "fetchmail: cannot open /var/log/fetchmail: Permission denied" why? [05:02] dekadent ok click cancel then new [05:03] ubuntu-restricted-extras didn't solve the font problem [05:03] Vigo: which 'Main Menu'? [05:03] hutty, ok [05:03] dekadent so its found your card [05:03] I would still [05:03] atleticomadrid: It could be, if you are dual booting with windows it's also possible that an OEM utility clobbered part of grub (Dell's "DataSafe" does this). Was grub working before or is this a fresh install? [05:03] hutty, yeah [05:03] move data and format the external [05:03] juanca: System>Preferences>Main Menu [05:03] hutty, but no signals [05:04] dekadent now put in the network detail for your other network that you want to reach [05:04] using ext4 since its linux native [05:04] NFischer: you usually need to be root to write to /var/log. Try putting the log somewhere else e.g. /tmp [05:04] hutty, ok i did that [05:04] ok - thanks for your help [05:04] Jordan_U: ubuntu was working fine...its not a dual boot, exclusively ubuntu. worked for about 9 months up until about 2 days ago...it has trouble booting into a livecd as well, so im thinking it might be the bios. [05:04] slash motherboard [05:04] the wierd font thing could have to do with a virus [05:04] juanca: I loaded IceCat onto a gNewSense box and used that method to create a launcher in the specified field of my choosing. [05:04] Hi [05:05] I have seen some change the windows fonts to webdings ... [05:05] atleticomadrid: If you can't boot liveCD's then yes, it's probably a BIOS/hardware problem. [05:05] dekadent click "roaming" then save [05:05] how do I check from command line if a package is already installed ? [05:05] how do I take ownership of a drive? say /dev/sda1 ? [05:05] term_oldcomp1: you purchase it ? [05:05] term_oldcomp1: jk [05:05] Jordan_U: yeah, kinda what i was thinking its a pretty old laptop. it gets into bios and all, but it just has a blank cursor when i try to boot via cd or hd. sound like the motherboard is dead? [05:05] Loshki, that pretty much does it, thx! but is there a way to let fetchmail log in /var/log since i would prefer having all logs in one place [05:05] term_oldcomp1: Define "take ownership". Also please explain what your end goal is. [05:05] gksu nautilus then go right click on the drive and change owner and permissions to your user name [05:05] hutty, its taking forever to cancel connection [05:06] it's only ownership is root. so I have to keep mounting it plus it's blocking my bittorrent uploads of a custom op/sys as it keeps returning "permission denied" in transmission [05:06] hutty, ok done, no change [05:07] dekadent what do you mean cancel connection? [05:07] atleticomadrid: It's hard to say. Does your BIOS have any diagnostic options? If nothing else it may have an option to boot more verbosely. [05:07] hutty, nothing, i tried to connect to it after i added the info, it didnt work, i cancelled, then added roaming, saved, no change [05:08] help my network manager disappeared from my panel and wont reappear [05:08] dekadent is there a signal strenght? [05:08] hutty, for some reason i can't find signals with this card [05:08] hutty, no nothing [05:08] Jordan_U: its about 4-5 years old, so i dont think it has any diagnostic options. i think its dead :( [05:08] hutty, it should automatically detect though, right? [05:08] NFischer: good question, wish I knew the answer. Changing the permissions on /var/log is probably a bad idea, as you don't want anyone to be able to edit them in case of a breakin...

[05:11] atleticomadrid: Maybe you could try installing coreboot (open source firmware replacement).... though if you can't get it to boot at all that might require some hardware hacking. [05:11] dekadent is it a g rate card? [05:11] hutty, i just googled my card name and someone else posted something on the forums saying it doesnt work, with no response [05:11] hutty, i have no idea [05:11] hutty, it's a broadcom 5705M [05:12] Psykus_: that's probably a bad idea. Why would you want to do that? [05:12] !downgrade | Psykus_ [05:12] Psykus_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [05:12] dekadent try a different card if possible [05:12] econdudeawesome: Did you read the Manuals on it? [05:12] ok, fixed last problem. how do I set a /dev/sda1 to automount?

[05:13] hutty, yes [05:13] hey all.i just have a question or two,if anyone can help me out,id b e appreciative [05:14] NFischer: I think /tmp gets wiped on reboot, so you might wanna find a better place if you want to keep the logfiles around... [05:14] xangua, I am using CCSM to handle some keyboard shortcuts. Long story short, I need to do a "compiz --replace" on every boot after logging in to make the shortcuts stick properly. [05:14] econdudeawesome: Read up on it, any box is as secure or as insecure as the Administrator allows or sets it to, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=707997 [05:14] econdudeawesome: Ubuntu uses apparmor by default, and as long as that's true it's probably difficult to make Ubuntu more secure with selinux than it currently is with apparmor [05:15] dekadent is it an older machine [05:15] Loshki, ya u probably right... [05:15] GettingSleepy: are you using xfce¿ in gnome just enabling compiz should be enouf [05:15] hutty, yes from 2004 [05:15] enough* [05:15] econdudeawesome: Not because of any deficiencies in selinux, but because there are custom profiles already setup for apparmor in Ubuntu. [05:15] OMG!!! [05:15] Loshki, thx [05:15] What Jordan_U said is correct, SELinux is not a utility to be just willy-nilly goofed with. [05:15] dekadent OMG!!! [05:15] hutty, lol so?

[05:16] can anybody tell me how to use bignum library libgmp's c++ wrapper in ubuntu ? [05:17] xangua: That's a fair call. Compiz seems to be running properly but the keyboard shortcuts don't appear to stick properly until "compiz --replace" is run manually. I think it might be because I am using CCSM which isn't a standard compiz manager. Everything works fine when this is run manually after starting, I really just want to be able to run it automatically. Perhaps by adding it as a root process on boot. Ideas?

[05:33] cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 [05:33] dabaR: That's the weird thing. The command in the Startup applications is "compiz --replace". However, this never works.

Since one of the kernel meta package needs the actuall image but it is not yet there [10:26] any 1 could help me? [10:26] kjele: How do i switch mirror? [10:27] Talu: The hard way is to edit /etc/apt/source.list Or you can look under System->administation->source list [10:27] Talu: Can't remember if it is admin or preferences. [10:28] Talu: But if you use update-manager and type setting it should let you edit sources on the first fan [10:28] kjele : my ubuntu is hardy 8.04 [10:28] ae86-drifter: if it's not actually locking up - that's a different issue totally [10:29] i already enable the universe and multiverse [10:29] i still cant get ffmpeg installed [10:29] Boon: you talu? [10:29] kjele: Hmm? [10:30] no [10:30] ikonia i am going to cancel this memtest, there is no errors so far, but it is saying my ram is 667Mhz when it is actually 1066MHz(saying DDR2-400 when it is DDR2-1066) i think i will reset my bios because i overclocked my CPU, maybe thats it, no that didnt make a difference. Would it really be a hardware issue even though i can boot live cd? and access my local hard disk fine? [10:30] Boon: what does "sudo apt-get install ffmpeg" say? [10:31] Talu: got confused [10:31] kjele: Hehehe. [10:31] ae86-drifter: overclocking is a BIG cause of unstability [10:31] What`s the easiest way to get XEN working on 10.04? [10:32] kjele: Im kinda confused aswell about how to change the mirror, i am using Lucid Lynx if that helps. [10:32] JohnDoy: don't use xen on ubuntu - kvm is the hypervisor for ubuntu [10:32] ae86-drifter: you won't get out of your misery, watch it [10:32] ikonia, i reset back to dewfault and it made no diffeerence, it has been stable ever since i got it and have all the big cooling fans etc running at 4.06GHz [10:32] Talu: In a terminal. Type "update-manager" [10:32] ffmpeg: Depends: libavcodec1d (>= 0.cvs20070307) but it is not going to be installed [10:32] Depends: libavformat1d (>= 0.cvs20070307) but it is not going to be installed [10:32] But I use XEN ond Debians with old CPUs w/o Intel-VT [10:33] ae86-drifter: then it (if you insist there is no hardware problems) looking like your upgrade didn't work [10:33] ikonia i think its because of the upgrade to lucid [10:33] yes... that would be logical in my opinion [10:33] JohnDoy: a.) you're not using debian now b.) qemu supports non-VT cpu's [10:33] But QEMU is Much slower than a XEN [10:34] Boon: Can you upgrade those two packages or install them? [10:34] ae86-drifter: I think it's because you are not clever enough [10:34] kjele: http://paste.ubuntu.com/432668/ === tt is now known as Guest76305 [10:34] !xen | JohnDoy [10:34] JohnDoy: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation.

[10:40] ikonia is there a procedure to fully reinstall all the x11 stuff and all gfx drivers and gdm etc, do you think that would work? [10:41] no [10:41] ae86-drifter: as you are having the same problems in safe mode [10:41] ikonia, wha about hardware drivers, like usb and serial etc? [10:41] ae86-drifter: You can chroot into the system with a live cd and remove the package there and then install again. But... [10:42] ae86-drifter: that's in the kernel, and I don't think that would matter [10:42] ikonia true [10:42] kjele, would that just give me a bunch of startup errors? [10:43] ae86-drifter: No. But what graphic card you using? [10:43] could it potentially make things worse? readeonhd4670 [10:44] ae86-drifter: And did you install the binary driver?

"uname -a" [10:55] ikonia, this pc has been in this state for around a week now, however it has been running this whole time in recovery mode and i have been using apache, php, torrentflux and playstation media server from this machine fine, it seems to be very stable, only in recovery mode, but keyboard/mouse input freezes hen in normal boot, but the servers still run fine.

[10:56] ikonia it is stable when it boots up properly, which i can only do in recovery mode, i just discovered then, that all the services are running and working fine even when it appears to be locked up. [10:56] mopy: run nicotine from a terminal. it may show why it dies [10:56] VoiDeT: hmm ... ten first try ... apt-get update ... apt-get upgrade ... this should upgrade your packages [10:56] !terminal | mopy [10:56] mopy: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[10:59] Say, if a password is set to expire... what will happen once it does so? Will the user be prompted to change it or will account just be locked? [10:59] Talu: Ok first try "dpkg --configure -a" That should fix some problems. If it does not work we will try to force remove the kernel package. Then manually remove if it just does not work [10:59] erSUL: http://codepad.org/NuIbHSiO [10:59] mu ubuntu use to much ram, is there any solution?

[11:14] mattycoze: No, that's exactly how you type it: ln -s $(which ccp4i) ~/Desktop (Just copy it over, do not change anything) [11:14] mattycoze: "which" helps locating binary files in $PATH [11:14] foobar66: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/jxe9Rhn2 [11:14] VoiDeT: ip route add to default via 10.0.1.1 [11:14] Talu: In a terminal type "ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ | grep linux" [11:15] kjele: Nothing happened. [11:15] installing quota on lucid which the file system is on lvm and split into different partitions, mount -o remount / gives no output and quotacheck -avugm fails stating that / aint mounted with quota. I assume its becasue fstab has /.../..../VolGroup/ which is linked to root, anyone knows how to make quota work on such instance? [11:15] theadmin oh okay... well that's generated a file I can double click on but still nothing happens when I double click [11:15] :( [11:15] sadness [11:15] Talu: good. Now go to with "cd /var/lib/dpkg/info" [11:15] mattycoze: I guess that cpp4i is a terminal program? [11:15] Talu: Then type "ls | grep linux" [11:15] mattycoze: ls -l ~/Desktop [11:16] Pirate_Hunter: added the quota option to the fstab line ? [11:16] mattycoze: See if there is any red link [11:16] hey everyone. On my ubuntu box i also have some kde apps installed. But somehow some kde processes (kded4, knotify, etc) keep my network shares locked which prevents me from unmounting them. Any clues why this is?

[11:32] erUSUL, no worries will struggle for a bit before I take a break, that command gave nada, just wondering would you know what the defaults option that gets written in fstab actually does, wondering if removing that would help, will test since I backed it up [11:32] foobar66: which i really really don't want to do, considering all my files were'nt backed up [11:32] erUSUL, thanks for your time hope you have a nice day [11:32] Talu: Use your editor and open the file it on your home named kjele [11:33] miklcct: are you saying from my hosts end?

When I go to the shutdown options, there [11:36] ... is no option to hibernate. Anyone know how to fix this? [11:36] is there anyway of verifying uid/gid for system files [11:36] mattycoze: Run the link on the desktop and paste the output of "tail ~/.xsession-errors" [11:36] and setting them to what they are suppoed to be for default [11:36] lapion: define "verify" ?

[11:39] miklcct unfortunately alot of the documentation for the program is shear agony to read through as it was mostly compiled on some redhat platform [11:39] lyndon_, i put DefaultRoot ~ in my conf file but still doesn't work [11:39] miklcct ahh well that explains it... dang [11:39] psidrum, make sure the mount folder has proper chown and chmod properties [11:40] VoiDeT: Replace it with http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Dnn25RTv [11:40] misterB, how big is your swap partition ? [11:41] mattycoze: Can you run the program now? [11:41] miklcct yeah I've always been able to run the program on command thru the terminal [11:41] miklcct: this damn ajax console makes it hard to use vi [11:41] I am using XRandR to make a shortcut that rotates the screen, but whenever I log out, it rotates it back to normal - is there any way to override this (make the screen rotation global)? [11:42] Is there a way to allow for the use of Hotkeys (global ones) EVEN IF the screen is locked? [11:42] miklcct: how do i simulate an escape character in vi [11:42] VoiDeT: cat > /etc/network/interfaces [11:42] VoiDet: just "cat > /etc/network/interfaces/" [11:42] airtonix: about 10GB [11:42] VoiDeT: copy the content of that link [11:42] lucid_lynx, tried running that config app using gksudo ? [11:42] kjele: I have to leave for a few minutes, be back soon.

[11:43] lucid_lynx, i mean the one you're using to rotate the screen. [11:43] VoiDeT: Restart your machine after you have finished [11:43] miklcct: foobar66 i can't even :q from vi from this damn terminal [11:43] airtonix: I'll try [11:43] VoiDet: don't use vi, just cat to the file (as above) [11:43] misterB, so theoretically it should hibernate and suspend. [11:44] foobar66: won't that just make an empty file? [11:44] miklcct: How about typing key combination such as Ctrl-backslash, etc [11:44] misterB, one second, i'll pull up a set of commands you can test to see if it will in fact hibernate/suspend [11:44] or is that what i need to do [11:44] VoiDeT: just cat into it when you are in the terminal [11:44] miklcct: i can't paste into this console [11:44] VoiDet: then copy-paste from the web page, or type it manually (and ctrl-D at end) [11:44] foobar66: ok i'll try that [11:44] VoiDet: then type it manually ...

[11:45] airtonix: it does suspend... there's just no hibernate option. Would the fact that I encrypted my root partition have anything to do with it? [11:46] misterB, here try the uncommented lines here : http://pastebin.com/PdZeVFv7 [11:46] misterB, it may do [11:46] ahh no matter what i do DefaultRoot does not work in proftpd i even changed the full path to /home/ftpjail and it still doesn't work [11:46] VoiDeT: The line starting with # can be ignored.

File a bug and/or complain in #intel-gfx [13:37] im taring those folders now [13:37] zhxk: And... That makes no sense to me anyway. If you want to know whether this board works with Ubuntu, just give us the model [13:37] VoiDeT: bye now [13:37] then scp them off the server [13:37] thank you so much for your help miklcct [13:37] anyone know how to install xdmx on ubuntu 10.4? its a distributed multihead x server [13:37] Canon PIXMA iP1500 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/N33GEdJj [13:37] it is very much appreciated [13:37] theadmin:its expensive [13:38] soreau, what i should say there, i only notice this from the game and compiz [13:38] !ot > zhxk [13:38] zhxk, please see my private message [13:38] zhxk: do you have any ubuntu-related support question? if not, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:38] soreau, glxinfo says direct rendering is supported, but i highly doubt it really is [13:39] allu2: If 'glxinfo|grep renderer' does not support software rasterizer, it's installed correctly at least [13:39] soreau, i can't write anything there ....

[13:41] Canon PIXMA iP1500 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/N33GEdJj [13:41] soreau, it does say "Software Rasterizer [13:41] llutz:the Os is powered by a pcb inside psu [13:41] allu2: uh oh. pastebin your X log then and maybe we can find out why [13:42] !ot > zhxk [13:42] zhxk, please see my private message [13:42] and the OS can turn sate of psu [13:42] zhxk: that is hardware and off-topic here [13:42] soreau, ok :) [13:43] brb 3 mins. in case someone answers [13:43] I can't get a ip from my dhcp server with ifconifg eth0 up but dhclient eth0 works? [13:43] mrp: ifconfig eth0 up" just brings up the iface, it won't do a dhcp-request [13:44] llutz: but normally when i boot it gets a ip [13:44] why does the nvidia graphics driver not show up in restricted drivers tool? [13:44] mrp: configure it at /etc/network/interfaces and use "sudo ifup eth0" [13:45] mrp: network manager or ifup ( /etc/network/interfaces ) does that for you [13:45] Can evince be configured? [13:45] soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/432742/ [13:45] llutz: its configured correctly [13:46] allu2: (EE) intel(0): Cannot support DRI with frame buffer width > 2048.

[13:47] Can evince be configured? [13:48] mgmuscari can you build me a kernel that will actually work [13:48] i got a question about 10.04.... i am using the clearlooks theme - but when i have a window maximized and i move my mouse to the right upper edge and click the window wont close (i need to move it down some pixels so i can click the close button.... in 9.04/9.10 i didn't have to do that... does anyone know how to fix that? [13:48] ae86-drifter: lol depends, do you want a kernel for a lenovo s10-3t netbook? [13:49] Hi, could any one please help me. I require the translation of the following Windows DOS command to linux (Ubuntu): "route add -p [x.x.x.x] mask [x.x.x.x] [x.x.x.x] metric 1"; any help would be appreciated [13:49] be back in 60 mins or less [13:49] HouseKatZe, I feel the same thing :) [13:49] Jrib: Thanks, that seems to be working. Repository which I used did not have all the packages. Really weird. I am now in the process of updating my system [13:49] mgmuscari nh acer aspire 5740G plz [13:49] please === White-Horse is now known as White_Horse_AFK [13:49] ae86-drifter: don't know anything about that unit [13:49] hey guys, are there special instructions on installing 10.04 on software raid (md) root device? [13:50] Step728: linux route seem to not have -p but the rest looks ok ;) [13:50] sunny: you need to use the alternative CD === dtcrshr is now known as datacrusher [13:50] mgmuscari: its an intel i7 laptop, could i compile ubuntu kernel for good use with it [13:50] sunny: or you need to do a normal install then conver it to raid post install [13:50] tx; much appreciated :-) [13:50] ae86-drifter: you should not need to compile the kernel at all [13:50] ae86-drifter: i'm sure you could compile a kernel for it, but why do you need to? [13:50] hi all [13:51] Step728: man route [13:51] mgmuscari to remove unnessacry hardware support? [13:51] i'm having to use a patched kernel to get this cando multitouch screen working [13:51] Step728: what does -p stand for? [13:51] ae86-drifter: the kernel is modular [13:51] ikonia: ahhh, thanks [13:51] ae86-drifter: you won't need to remove any hardware support, if there is no device, the modules are not loaded [13:51] ikonia in wht sense [13:51] don't know - got the instruction to use :-( [13:51] ikonia: I attempted to chroot and install grub manually, but my grub-fu is not that l33t [13:51] q. who is publishing the hostname.local, and how can i make it stop ? [13:52] sunny: keep in mind /boot has to be on either raid 1 or not at all, it can't be on raid 0 or 5 [13:52] ikonia okay i see, why do people recompile on slower machines ? [13:52] ae86-drifter: because they are misguided and wrong [13:52] hi [13:52] ikonia: yeah, I'm using raid1 [13:52] lol [13:52] sunny: you'll have no problems then [13:52] ikonia: do you know if it makes a difference if the raid is /dev/md0 or /dev/md0p1 ? [13:52] does anyone know, why i got "inverted" colors when i play a video? i got a nvidia card with the binary drivers. [13:52] sunny: the name doesn't matter, [13:53] and i'm using ubuntu with gnome (actual). [13:53] i hope this patch is worth it - i had the touchscreen working with single touch earlier and sitting through a kernel compilation isn't exactly what i wanted to do today [13:53] '~$ gdb seamonkey; "/usr/bin/seamonkey": not in executable format: File format not recognized; (gdb) ' I do not understand the response: "not in executable format: File format not recognized; (gdb)." What does it mean? [13:53] sunny: however standard issue is to use a raid device per partition, eg: /dev/md0, /dev/md1 etc, rather than a raid device with multiple partitions /dev/md0p1 [13:53] is there a good reason why after upgrading or installing to lucid, my computer always freezes a lot more than in karmic? (for instance, earlier today it froze three times in about ten minutes) [13:53] How I can convert mdf to iso? [13:53] bullgard4: "file /usr/bin/seamonkey" [13:53] ikonia: right, I noticed the regular installer insisted I use /dev/md0p1 which I thought was odd [13:54] how do i get that little tux penguin in the top left corner as my pc loads [13:54] Do you know somebody mdf to Iso? [13:54] Can evince be configured? [13:54] CAN IT? [13:54] sure [13:54] !iso > agony__ [13:54] i got a question about 10.04.... i am using the clearlooks theme - but when i have a window maximized and i move my mouse to the right upper edge and click the window wont close (i need to move it down some pixels so i can click the close button.... in 9.04/9.10 i didn't have to do that... does anyone know how to fix that? [13:54] ikonia, do you know how? [13:54] There appears to be no config file nor gconf entry [13:54] !iso | agony__ [13:54] ManDay: what do you want to change [13:54] llutz: Your message is too short to be comprehensible. It misses a predicate. [13:55] how to activate the network-card manually? [13:55] ikonia, no side pane by default. default zoom. no toolbar. window geometry if possible - although latter i can also achieve through compiz [13:55] raven_: ifconfig up [13:55] what is this !iso? [13:55] bullgard4: "file /usr/bin/seamonkey" will show you what type of file it is [13:55] yes iso [13:55] ManDay: I think they are start up options, I'm not sure [13:55] ikonia: thanks a lot man [13:55] mdf to iso [13:55] HouseKatZe, it is deactivated physically - seems that the firmware was not loaded [13:55] !mdf [13:55] agony__: well if our bot was not m.i.a it would have told you how to convert mdf to iso [13:56] ikonia, no there arent [13:56] agony__, please see my private message [13:56] agony__: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [13:56] agony__: there^ [13:56] sorry then i dont know [13:56] ikonia, actually evince doesnt have ANY startup options [13:56] ManDay: I'm quite surprised by that [13:56] thats why im wondering whether that application can be configured at all [13:56] how to activate the network-card (firmware) manually? [13:56] hi all, I have this weird problem .. I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and now every so often for no reason that I can easily asertain the dell computer P4 ... Freeses like as it its out of ram .. and dosen't have any swap .. Its not a ram issue so I can't figure out what is causing it. I cant find it in the forums eather. Anyone have anyidea on what might be causing it ( i removed laptop-mode and powernowd ) but it still seems to rarely happen [13:56] raven_ ifup eth0 [13:57] ikonia, what pdf viewer do you use? [13:57] ManDay: http://live.gnome.org/Evince/Team tried contacting them ? [13:57] ae86-drifter, , it is deactivated physically - seems that the firmware was not loaded [13:57] not yet [13:57] ManDay: I mostly use evince [13:57] raven_: which network card ? what do you mean by (firmware) ? [13:57] raven_: modprobe? [13:57] raven_ well that would be a BIOS issue then right>? [13:57] i tried to ontact #ubuntu but there was only one person trying to help [13:57] ManDay: Might as well be good to ask in #gnome [13:57] ManDay: you're in #ubuntu now [13:57] ae86-drifter, seems like that [13:57] ikonia, check out man evince - its quite telling about the plenty of startup parms [13:57] raven_: do you mean the device driver was not loaded? [13:57] ikonia, oh really... [13:58] mgmuscari, how is the command for modprobe? [13:58] theadmin, ill do [13:58] raven_: depends on what module your device needs to use [13:58] ManDay: yes, I see a real lack of start up options [13:58] ManDay: Just because there is a piece of software in the Ubuntu repositories doesnt mean that we are the penultimate place for support for that application. Like ikonia said, you'll probably have better luck talking to the people who actuall make evince. [13:58] mgmuscari, how to find out that? its an asus eee 1005ha [13:58] lspci will give you a list of available devices from which you can find the network card info [13:58] ManDay: sed 's/i/I/' && sed 's/ll/'&/' [13:59] Woah [13:59] ... [13:59] ManDay: sed 's/i/I/' && sed 's/ll/\'&/' [13:59] :D [13:59] theadmin, i dont have sed, could you please repeat in binary? [13:59] ManDay: What I mean is, not "ill" but "I'll" [13:59] <3 sed [14:00] theadmin, i got it. people just usually omit the "sed" when they say s// [14:00] How can I check what's caused the spikes of processor usage on my computer? [14:00] ae86-drifter, anything possible to do? [14:00] ManDay: :D Yeah, weird. [14:00] yep, weirdos... [14:00] :D [14:00] kjele: Still here? [14:01] guys, when I type http://localhost:8005 or any port for that matter, it keeps redirecting me to my external ip at port 80. This started happening after upgrading to lucid anyone have any ideas why? [14:01] raven_: try running lsspice | grep Network [14:01] errr [14:01] I have a program that says It has to be run by superuser before any user can run it. I am the only user of this pc so what do I do in terminal to become superuser for this program ? [14:01] lspci | grep Network [14:01] mgmuscari: lol [14:01] !sudo | woodyjlw [14:01] woodyjlw: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [14:01] woodyjlw: sudo [14:01] hello [14:01] thanks [14:01] mgmuscari, lspci? [14:02] raven_: you have still not told us which NIC are you trying to configure. i do not even now if it is wired or wifi [14:02] hm, hi. [14:02] erUSUL, wired [14:02] raven_: yes, it lists all pci devices [14:02] what is this? I do not know the software [14:02] erUSUL, i do not know what nic [14:02] !irc | hm [14:02] hm: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [14:02] Talu: yes [14:02] hm: This can refer to basically anything. [14:02] when I am prompted to Choose An Application to open an apt link, what is the right choice? [14:02] raven_: lspci | grep -i net [14:02] kjele: Ah, good good. [14:02] I've been using chromium browser and am having some issues with old deleted bookmarks coming back on after deletion and I think its cause I may have shutdown before the upload could occur or something. Is it possible to force a sync to occur? [14:02] user__: Synaptic, I suppose. [14:03] raven_: erUSUL's grep is more general, that'll work too [14:03] theadmin: ok I'll try thx [14:03] kjele: Have you read trough it? [14:03] mgmuscari, erUSUL only the wireless device appears, the wired is not listed [14:03] Talu: So when you come back then you can do "cd /var/lib/dpkg && sudo wget uio.no/~kjele/status" [14:03] user__: I think you need to install apturl or something like it for clicking apt: links to work [14:04] raven_: are you sure it's enabled in the bios? [14:04] theadmin: i am having major problems with apt-get, whenever i upgrade this package fails: libatk-1.0-dev_1.30.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [14:04] even if the driver for the nic isn't loaded properly it should still appear with lspci AFAIK [14:04] sudo did nothing for me. the program is X-cd-roast and is already installed. when I go to applications to run it is when it says superuser must run it first [14:04] mgmuscari, it is - i swiched it on and off already several times [14:04] ae86-drifter: I didn't break it, why me? o_O [14:04] VCoolio: i'm trying to get playdeb site to work for me, that might be it [14:04] woodyjlw: sudo su to become root [14:04] but [14:04] howdy [14:04] theadmin because you seem helpful.. :) [14:04] that sounds kind of shady, i dunno [14:05] mgmuscari, thanks [14:05] mgmuscari: DON'T YOU sudo su! "sudo -i" instead! [14:05] woodyjlw: "gksudo xcdroast" [14:05] mgmuscari: don't recommend that please -- sudo -i is better [14:05] kjele: Hmm okidoki. [14:05] raven_: it does not appear in lspci ? [14:05] theadmin i sudo su every day [14:05] erUSUL, right [14:05] hm, learn something new every day [14:05] kjele: In terminal, right? [14:05] how do I go about accessing the recovery screen of lucid? [14:05] !wfm | ae86-drifter [14:05] ae86-drifter: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [14:05] Talu: yes [14:05] raven_: disabled in bios ? works in the other OS ? [14:06] erUSUL, and this card is not enabled in the sysresccd system [14:06] guntbert i never said i was doing the right thing, [14:06] also [14:06] hi [14:06] erUSUL, enabled yes, other system disabled too [14:06] raven_: well if it does not show in lspci no linux system will ever see it afaik [14:07] guntbert, it was just the way i was taught, i have never heard of sudo -i before :S [14:07] I mean what are the keys to access grub menu before boot? [14:07] ae86-drifter: no, but it sounded like "I do it every day so you can do it too" [14:07] Pirate_Hunter: shift [14:07] ae86-drifter: :) [14:07] erUSUL, what could had happened there?? [14:07] raven_: then i say that the hardware is death ... [14:07] Pirate_Hunter: right shift [14:07] guntbert i mean i do it every day as if it was a bad thing.. [14:07] erUSUL, broken firmware? [14:07] VCoolio: yup it was apturl I neeeded. thanks! [14:07] kjele: Alright, shall now wait for it, gonna grab a cup of tea. [14:07] i need to know how to make aircrack work on monitor mode [14:08] matrix17 lol [14:08] ae86-drifter: ? [14:08] ae86-drifter: no worries :-)) we all learn every day [14:08] so the difference is basically that sudo -s doesn't execute a root shell [14:08] raven_: no physically death; even if it needed exta frimware it should appear in lspci (so the OS can load that firmware) [14:08] matrix17, there is a channell called #aircrack-ng [14:08] erUSUL, guntbert: thanks [14:08] how to switch to my guest account in Karmic? [14:08] only with mdf2iso can I convert a mdf file to iso? [14:09] erUSUL, would be not very well [14:09] join #audio [14:09] matrix17: See my PM [14:09] how to switch to my guest account in Karmic? [14:10] madjoe: Almost the same way you shutdown [14:10] what's the advantage of sudo -s over sudo su besides not executing a root shell [14:10] #ubuntu: do you know of anything i could do to fix: libatk-1.0-dev_1.30.0-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [14:10] mgmuscari, im root in terminal now but still get this "no root configuration file is found or readable! The superuser must start and configure X-CD-Roast first, before other users can use it." [14:10] !rootshell | mgmuscari [14:10] mgmuscari: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [14:10] kjele: how to setup a new password for my guest account? [14:10] sudo in general is potentially dangerous :) [14:11] one of the options in my fstab is stopping my system from booting, I can't even go into recovery, how do I go about mounting the / filesystem through the livecd considering its on a raid 0 and than lvm? [14:11] hi all [14:11] kjele: if I finger guest: there's no such user... :( [14:11] is everything ok? [14:11] llutz: (I inadvertantly crashed my Irssi.)

Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [15:12] is it possible to get a hostname from a non-routable IP if there is no internal dns server?

[15:12] I upgraded the ati video driver on my ibm w500 laptop - screen went dead. ne1 know about issues with the ati/amd fglrx graphics driver? [15:12] Evolution: ubuntu replaced the standard system V init with upstart, found here: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ , so tools like chkconfig that manage init scripts won't work [15:12] KaiForce: On the other hand, http://lmgtfy.com/ is pretty good [15:12] KaiForce lol [15:13] ...oh wait [15:13] LOL [15:13] * Evolution smacks KaiForce [15:13] haha [15:13] I just bought a new acer 5740 laptop and installed ubuntu 10.04 (amd64) on it.

Is tough to answer for me. [15:19] KaiForce: what do you want to know specifically? [15:19] installing 10.04 on Aspire 840G I7 with 8 gigs of ram will ubuntu 10.04 recognize all 8 gigs of ram...? [15:20] Marco: what disk controller are you using? [15:20] arvind_khadri: i have a backup on dvd . now i want to replace new home. [15:20] ppannuto, kjele llutz thank you [15:20] developer: you also can use ssh-keys and forced-commands [15:20] snypzz: Use 64 bit version for that [15:20] Is installer saying there are no available disks to install to? (for Marco) [15:20] amir_varasteh, then just copy the contents [15:20] Kaiforce: yes [15:21] thanks....

[15:22] love ubuntu going to it now just backed up the other system and will VBOX and wine to do other stuff I have to do, this should be interesting.... [15:22] avi93: find an original one and replace it.. of course you may want to make backups of yours in the future befor you alter it. [15:22] KaiForce: i'm not that expert in hwdisk... controller mean "sata"? [15:22] *hw [15:22] lets see what this I7 can really do....? [15:23] Marco: right. is it an onboard (i.e. built into your computers motherboard) controller? or is it sata card? [15:23] onboard [15:23] Dr_Willis: can u send me yours please? [15:23] when you boot, does the screen show the drive being recognized? [15:23] yes, it's primary master [15:24] hi [15:24] ppl [15:24] Canon PIXMA iP1500 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/N33GEdJj [15:24] Canon PIXMA iP1500 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/N33GEdJj [15:24] Marco: primary master indicates IDE disk, not sata [15:24] sda11? you have ELEVEN partitions? [15:24] White_Horse: Please ask an actual question to the channel. Posting a pastebin link with no context isn't going to get you any help. [15:25] White_Horse: thats a bit rude to paste it twice.. and you could at least summarize the problem. You have reserched the printer at cups.org ? [15:25] looking for super simple notes keeping application with wiki like syntax [15:25] OK, installed and conf'd dancer-ircd dancer-services according to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dancer-IRCD#Configuration Files However... [15:25] Error404NotFound: ever try 'tiddlywiki' ? [15:25] Marco: is that right? [15:25] well... maybe i'm mistaken here... but it does show the disk at first position... maybe it lists sata devices before ide [15:25] amir_varasteh, did you do a mount -a after it ? [15:25] anyone know a linux program that can slice images for web output similar to fireworks [15:25] Marco: ok, but you are certain it is SATA [15:25] i'll reboot and let you know, if you want [15:25] Dr_Willis, hmmm, the html/js based one file wiki? [15:25] my bad sorry but i was told to paste the error the printer is installed the driver is installed but it does not print at all [15:25] Marco: not necessary. did you just install the drive? [15:25] psidrum gimp can do alot of things === carlos_ is now known as car|0s [15:26] arvind_khadri: no ! [15:26] Error404NotFound: thats it. Sort of works very well depeing on how you want to custmoize it. [15:26] amir_varasteh, do it :) [15:26] no [15:26] When I start dancer-services I get: HPath is an invalid directory, please check /etc/dancer-services/settings.conf I have that file open but I have NO idea what it SHOULD be set to? [15:26] Dr_Willis, yup, used it couple of times, was looking for more sortta desktop application :P ;) [15:26] Marco: did it have another operating system on it that was working? [15:26] it was installed about 2 years ago [15:26] arvind_khadri: how ? [15:26] Thats why i used pastebin to see why its not printing [15:26] amir_varasteh, sudo mount -a [15:26] Currently its set to: HPath "/var/lib/dancer-services" [15:26] White_Horse, remove the usb plug from computer, wait 10 sec, and connect again ? [15:27] Error404NotFound: bah! :) [15:27] arvind_khadri: first i should unmount the old home , yea ? [15:27] Dr_Willis, okay, okay :P [15:27] ok i will do that now [15:27] Error404NotFound: i think that tomboy or other notes program can do similer things also [15:27] yes, windows seven (actually it's the cause i'm changing the os) [15:27] Error404NotFound: and sync to ubuntuone [15:27] lemur: hi [15:27] Marco: you want to wipe the disk and install Kubuntu, correct? [15:27] Okay, in reading the docs, I see a number of apps that enable/disable services at startup. Which is more preferred? Boot-up Manager, update-rc.d, sysv-rc-conf ? [15:27] ok done [15:27] KaiForce: for sure [15:27] Anyone know anything about this or where I can see more in-depth documentation? [15:27] pallgone: hi [15:28] White_Horse, now print a testpage. [15:28] lemur: hi again [15:28] KaiForce: if I succeed, that is [15:28] same thing nothing happens [15:28] anyone in channel: is kubuntu install CD bootable (i.e. run without changing your computer) like the ubuntu disk? [15:28] its now at job #39 [15:28] all test pages [15:28] oh [15:28] just says idle [15:28] theGman: on what topic? [15:29] Marco: can the Kubuntu CD boot to a desktop? [15:29] KaiForce: Yes it is. [15:29] Dr_Willis: thanks! [15:29] hi there, starting shorewall fails: "detectnets not allowed on interface with default route - eth0" - what am I doing wrong? [15:29] hello [15:29] Dr_Willis: What the settings should be in dancer-services/settings.conf? [15:29] how i open telnet [15:29] KaiForce: i'm in irc into live-cd Kubuntu [15:29] Marco, if you boot the Kubuntu disk, can you run fdisk in a termina? [15:30] Dr_Willis: (See my other posts :P ) [15:30] KaiForce: yes... tried before [15:30] how i open telnet [15:30] Marco: does fdisk see the disk? [15:30] KaiForce: I'll retry then tell you what it says [15:30] theGman: I would check the dancer homepage/wiki/docs if the utulity has rather poor docs. it may be worth while to use an alterantive that is better documented., [15:30] Dr_Willis: I've been googling my butt off with no success.. [15:30] would some screen shots help Oerheks [15:30] Dr_Willis: Know of one? [15:30] KaiForcE: "fdisk -l" right? gives no result at all [15:30] mode_rat: stop it [15:30] Marco: fdisk /dev/sda? [15:31] theGman: The program dosent even mention a 'homepage' when you google about it? Definatly time to find another program then. [15:31] what [15:31] !backtrack > mode_rat [15:31] mode_rat, please see my private message [15:31] KaiForce: you need sudo with fdisk -l :) [15:31] hello, I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 on an old laptot HP6100 Pentium3 950MHz 256Mo RAM [15:31] KaiForcE: unable to open dev/sda [15:31] starting shorewall fails: "detectnets not allowed on interface with default route - eth0" - what am I doing wrong? [15:31] Marco: sudo fdisk /dev/sda [15:31] theGman: many of those things often are based on another that might have more docs.. [15:31] KaiForcE: ok, i was just suggesting that :) [15:31] Dr_Willis: Right. But which...THAT is the true question eh? [15:32] Dr_Willis: This: dancer-ircd-doc was installed but I have NO idea how to use it... o.O [15:32] what the best web brower to use with Xubuntu10.04 with my very old laptop ? (pre-installed FireFox or other like chromium or ...) [15:32] The Device URI usb://Canon/iP1500 is not correct [15:32] chromium is fastest [15:32] Marco: good. I would delete all the partitions and try install again [15:33] IFF you are sure that is what you want [15:33] theGman: you looked in /usr/share/docs ? or was it /usr/share/doc ? [15:33] ManuB: Well if you can't run firefox then maybe w3m? [15:33] Hey all, I am having trouble with oidentd only binding to ipv4 and not ipv6. I seem to recall having to run some command and changing a value like v6.bind.v4 to "1" insted of "0" but it's been so long, I forget the command. Does this ring a bell to anyone? [15:33] KaiForce: then... how do I delete the partitions? [15:33] Dr_Willis: I just saw the pkg as installed. So far...looking... [15:33] KaiForcE: yes, i'm absolutely sure about it [15:34] Marco: simple - hang on one sec I'll start fdisk [15:34] KaiForce: you?! [15:34] i'll start it here so I can tell you exactly i meant :) [15:34] For some reason I cannot resize the ubuntu partition even if i use live cd [15:34] kjele: Hmm what kind of risk would that be? [15:34] znc: sysctl? [15:34] The extended file system which my linux partition is in, for some reason is used [15:35] Marco: type p in fdisk and tell me how many partitions [15:35] even when i use live cd [15:35] anyone know gtk+ theming well enough to tell me if it's possible to make a widget size 0? [15:35] llutz: ahhh, i think thats it. thanks man,ill tke a look [15:35] Dr_Willis: Found that at any rate :P [15:35] Talu: an unbootable system. But the chance is nil unless you get a power outage or do not read correctly. The first time you need to remove all configuration files [15:35] hi, i recently switched to HDMI display (HD5850 + Samsung 2494hs) and whenever i want to load the latest ubuntu live cd (or usb) the screen just goes black after the ubuntu load screen. can anyone recommend a solution? [15:36] kjele: Hmm i see. [15:36] Romeozor: is this by chance a laptop? [15:36] KaiForce: 2... one was created before by me in Win7 to try another way to install Kubuntu (alternate version... but unfortunately i didn't have any disposable usb mass storage :( ) [15:36] how do i find out which ubuntu package installed one particular file? [15:36] node0: dpkg -S file [15:36] in centos i coudl do rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/ssh/sshd_config [15:36] KaiForce, no, it's a p [15:36] c [15:36] ah ok [15:36] I'm running ubuntu 10.04, and i went to log into kde for the first time, and all i get is black screen, with mouse cursor [15:36] thanks llutz [15:36] any suggestions? [15:36] Marco: use "d" to delete the partitions, then "w" to write the changes to the disk [15:37] Romeozor: Acer perchance? [15:37] Nubulis_Maximus: What did you install? [15:37] KaiForce: thanks, I'll do it on the double [15:37] in ubuntu 10.04 after clean install my usb storage devices (external HDDs and flash drives) all performed very slow and then little by little they stopped working at all now if i plug one in nothing happens? what should i do? I have reinstalled 3 times and it happens everytime [15:37] Gozar: what do u mean? [15:37] KaiForce: done [15:37] hello [15:37] Nubulis_Maximus: Well, what packages, meta packages, did you install? [15:37] KaiForce: can i install right away now? [15:37] hi [15:38] hi, i installed drapes as a desktop switcher for LXDE but its not working, do i have any alternative?? [15:38] Marco: OK.. You may need to reboot after to update the system with the new partition table, then you can try install again. If it works please let me know so I'll be encouraged to help others in the future [15:38] Gozar: just a few apps [15:38] KaiForce: yes, I'll come here again and tell you the outcome [15:38] recently, i started noticing red flashes in my videos... i'm using an nvidia card and i suspect this is due to the last software update [15:38] Spyzer: theres dozens of wallpaper changer tools out and in the repos. You could even write a script to do it Once you determine a good command to change the wallpaper under lxde [15:38] superkaramba, and a couple of irc clients [15:38] KaiForce, it's not related to acer, it's a custom pc [15:38] does anybody have a clue about it? [15:38] Nubulis_Maximus: Not the DE itself? [15:38] KaiForcE: thanks in advance to you especially and to all the others :) [15:39] guess not [15:39] Dr_Willis: so why is not drapes working for me?? I don't have gnome by the way... [15:39] hi, I have a tablet laptop - the pen works, but I cannot find a way to get a right click with it. The pen has 2 buttons, so I think I should be able to make one a right click. How do I do this? [15:39] Talu: Well it is not the end of the world if something wrong goes on. Just do not reboot the machine before you fix it. [15:39] I'm using a preseeded PXE install, and trying to get virtualbox to install in it. However it seems the installer kernel is a diffrent version then the installed kernel, so the virtualbox install fails since /target doesn't have the headers for the installer kernel. Since I want this PXE install to just work though the life of the LTS, I need a way to make sure that changing kernel versions don't mess it up. Does anyone know of a way I could keep this [15:39] installer reliable? [15:39] Spyzer: no idea. It does work for me under gnome. but i dont use lxde i find it rather... lacking [15:39] Gozar: is it in the repositories? [15:39] Nubulis_Maximus: That would explain the black screen [15:39] Nubulis_Maximus: Ya, can't remember the name though [15:40] Romeozor: ok, i had same problem on Acer laptop. Try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [15:40] Gozar: I'll have a look, thank you. [15:40] thanks, i'll give it a shot [15:40] KaiForce: just created a new partition visible by Kubuntu :) [15:40] anybody know of a way to test to see if a serial connection is working? [15:40] KaiForce: I'll proceed with installation now :) see you on the other side [15:40] Marco: awesome, thanks for update [15:41] enjoy [15:41] Spyzer: drapes seems to use a lot of gnome stuff.. so you proberly want some alternative [15:41] Dr_Willis i think he means multiple desktop switching [15:41] KaiForce: sure do :) [15:41] hi all, does somebody know how to get work mail, web and mysql server on ubuntu 9.04 with 100mb of RAM? ))) so it will not fail because of RAM? ) [15:41] oops [15:41] i cant install anything from the ubuntu software center.... [15:41] ae86-drifter: well drapes is a 'wallpaper changer' so someone is confused. :) [15:41] Romeozor: I had a similar blank screen on boot bug, i solved it using https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes and re-enabling KMS [15:41] KaiForce: how do I format an hd? [15:42] Have a great day everyone, Thank-You all for giving this great support channel for newbie and Pro users of ubuntu P.S.

[15:44] Marco: ext3 should be fine. I don't know what default is [15:44] ext4 is default and works fine too [15:44] thanks :) [15:45] Well being an ircop on many networks for over 8 years I expect alittle more effort but I do understand that not all network admins are at my high standard of giving my 110% to everyone that needs help [15:45] anyone else having usb issues? only with storage devices?

[15:48] while i know service ssh is worknig and is taking /etc/ssh/sshd_config as the config file [15:48] anyone knows decent resources to learn PSD slicing using Gimp? [15:48] how can i update the dpkg database? [15:48] sudo updatedb ))) [15:48] The Device URI usb://Canon/iP1500 is not correct I think [15:49] Canon PIXMA iP1500 http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/N33GEdJj [15:49] Sonsee: just did that and its still showing not found [15:49] Why can I only use one server at a time to download packages? [15:49] How would I change my Documents folder to another folder? [15:49] ls -la /etc/ssh ? [15:49] iromli: GIMP site or youtube, GIMP has a wealth of tutorials and man pages. [15:50] Vigo: thanks [15:50] iromli: You are welcome. [15:50] Why cannot they just implement a 10 line shell script to download from e.g. 20 servers simultaneously? [15:50] Sonsee: http://pastebin.com/52qzfhT8 [15:50] White_Horse I'm looking at it [15:50] русские есть?) [15:50] bipolar: how does it fail? [15:51] KaiForce thank you [15:51] markr_: Because then APT would freak out if the mirrors aren't in prefect sync. [15:51] kindly anyont tell me a WORKING desktop wallpaper switcher for LUBUNTU [15:52] can anyone help me. i cannot find how to svideo pal tv, it is ntsc now. i use nvidia-settings [15:52] markr_: Because APT checks the GPG signatures on the Releases files and breaks if they're not correct. [15:52] jpds: that sounds like a very silly excuse. [15:52] What's the major differences between using openjdk and the sun-java6 package? [15:53] markr_: it could also simply use the newest versions only. === irwan_ is now known as irwan [15:53] carlosgaldino: i hear some apps perfer the sun java. [15:53] jpds: it could also simply use the newest versions only. [15:53] markr_: why do you want that? I have a local repository that maxes my connection anyway... [15:53] ChogyDan: yes, you. [15:53] how do i list all the files installed by one specific package? [15:53] why do you do this? the reason? [15:53] carlosgaldino: Dr_Willis , Both are the same. Just that the version string is different... [15:53] White_Horse: is the error log generated when printing? Or installing? [15:54] printing [15:54] markr_: If you download Packages.gz from one mirror and try to download a package defined in that file from another mirror which isn't in sync with the other mirror, APT will fall on its face. [15:54] markr_: have you tried out the repo finder? That is how I got such a connection [15:54] node0: dpkg -L package [15:54] Spyzer: Did you look at the LXDE sight? [15:54] lol not the user its the software.. i mean out of the box i should be able to use a flash drive i would think.. but it would only transfer at 1mb per sec or less.. now they wont even mount or show up at all === deavidsedice is now known as deavid [15:54] kjele: but is there possible to experience some issue because of using openjdk? [15:54] the print que is up to job #39 [15:54] Sonsee: just to get an understanding of dependencies [15:54] ChogyDan: if you install a few thousand packages at the same time with 10 mbit connection there is not a single server which gives you that. [15:54] cue* [15:54] kjele: Ive heard of several people in here that rewuired the sun java for some specific apps to work.

[15:55] Has anyone had any experience getting a USB device to work over an IP network? for example, i have a program i've written that allows me to control my robot via usb joystick, but when I use my robot, I'd rather not have to rely on the wired usb connection to control it. ideally i could run my program on the robot, but use something that makes the usb driver detect the joystick connected to another computer on the network [15:55] ChogyDan: yes, I did. [15:55] man dpkg [15:55] KiaForce i can upload some screen shots if you like ? [15:55] markr_: There is. [15:55] I'm here again... mkfs doesn't work, it says that /dev/sda1 is in use... how do I unmount it? [15:55] carlosgaldino: Dr_Willis, if you compile the program yourself then no. But some crappy programs have hardcoded version string check and that does not work so very well. [15:55] saliak: ive seen mention of some usb-over ip drivers. [15:55] Sonsee: checking [15:55] saliak: but never used them [15:55] how I can see all in terminal writes? [15:56] Hi folks. Can I invoke a script every time an input device is plugged in? Mouse or keyboard? What's the new way to do this? [15:56] jpds: I can download via torrent 1MB/s, but my package installations are never faster than 300KB/s. [15:56] How can I watch everything that is written in the terminal? [15:56] brad[]: create an udev-rule [15:56] markr_: Which mirror are you using?

[15:56] llutz: Ah okay. is there documentation on how to do that? [15:56] ne7work: man logs [15:57] carlosgaldino: The different in them now should be 2% different in source code. [15:57] brad[]: there should be tuts in the wiki or forum [15:57] Vigo, how? [15:57] jpds: monobuntu.fr, but the official French mirror at work. [15:57] Hello! Does anybody have any idea how to activate the "Workspace Switcher", after being deleted from the bottom panel? [15:57] markr_: Then that would be a problem at your end. [15:58] jpds: why would that be? [15:58] ne7work: in terminal type man logs , there are also many many ways to log TLI the Logfile is one. [15:58] danpandrea: right click, add to panel On the panel. Its one of those applets. [15:58] danpandrea right click on panel and hit add to panel "workspace switcher" [15:58] markr_: It's not an official mirror: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [15:58] also control alt and over arrow keys changes workspace [15:59] kjele: how can i find the location for the openjdk to change in netbeans config file?

I just installed Lucid on my x64 machine and I have a strange request. Can somone please send me an alternate download location for Skype for x64? My ISP has skype blocked so there is no real way for me to download it unless someone sends it to me directly or gives me a mirror site. I asked a friend but he sent me an EXE file lol [16:00] swapy: bootup? or user login? [16:00] carlosgaldino: on my machine is /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java [16:00] carlosgaldino: sudo updatedb [16:00] just type commands in gedit and do it [16:00] obiwan_: apt-get is the equivalent of rpm and dpkg is teh equivalent of yum? [16:00] ?? [16:00] what is LXDE SIGHT?? [16:00] markr_: Have you tried any other FR mirrors such as http://ftp.oleane.net/ubuntu/ ? [16:00] node0: look: dpkg is for managing already downloaded pakages, apt-get to manage pakage dependancies & install (through dpkg), and aptitude is a enhanced apt-get. [16:00] node0: other way round, moslty [16:00] ne7work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43337 [16:01] abuayyoub: i was thinking skype was in the medibuntu repos.

[16:01] jpds: what is the point of providing a tool that doesn't give the right answer? [16:01] hi, I have a tablet laptop - the pen works, but I cannot find a way to get a right click with it. The pen has 2 buttons, so I think I should be able to make one a right click. How do I do this? [16:01] Spyzer: http://lxde.org/ [16:01] White_Horse: I asked if anything was logged in /var/log/messages when you try to print [16:01] jpds: IMHO, the whole UI sucks. [16:01] ok.. thanks obiwan_ llutz ... trying to get my bearings here [16:02] Dr_Willis I don't think so... apt-get installs from skype.com server as well. [16:02] jpds: it should be an implementation detail. [16:02] which is blocked [16:02] the centos way of thinking and troubleshooting isnt worknig here [16:02] markr_: There was a session at UDS about improving the Update Manager UI.

[16:02] rjg: i don't know, but maybe looking for some 'your tablet model'+pen+linux will help [16:02] I'm using gconf-editor to move window buttons back to the right corner. But only the 2 first buttons listed in 'button_layout' will show. Help pls? [16:02] jpds: that some packages might not be the same version can simply be ignored. [16:02] jpds: that is, redownloaded. [16:02] you need to add repository with skype. See the man page of ubuntu.com [16:03] Dr_Willis yes, I tried it lol but it's blocked as well.

I am unable to have a wired connecion seutp in order to download this. Can I obtain the restricted package without being inside ubuntu so that I may put it on a USB stick and transfer it? [16:06] ravenx: That package exists. is like Mouse Lock or something, it 'snaps' the mouse to a panel, a click or key macro releases it. [16:07] Dr_willis man you're the man.

Thank you so much! [16:10] ne7work: There is a log viewer in Gnome, you can set it to roll up or down. [16:11] photoshop can run on ubuntu [16:11] abuayyoub: if it works.

I'll get back to you [16:11] Vigo, how? [16:12] spiderbone: and the problem with the real computer is what exactly? tell the channel what its doing and what its not doing. [16:12] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am duel booting with windows 7... after I went to the upgrade manager and installed updates I now have two instances on linux appearing on the boot menu.. the only difference in the two are the last two digits..one is .23 and the other is .22 I believe. Does this mean there are now two instances of ubuntu installed on my machine? how can I remove the older one? [16:12] Psidrum have you ever tried Coral PSP? w/ linux? [16:12] No matter what I do, everytime I start ubuntu I get the keyboard layout indicator in the tray. I tried removing it, and If i delete 'Romanian' and only leave USA as language, it dissapears, but only until I reboot. Now I've searched a bit and found the key '/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/layouts' which contains the value '[us, ro]' If I remove 'ro' from there the indicator dissapears, bu [16:12] I`m not saying that the web site is not ok. I want to try whether that work with firefox or not [16:12] ne7work: System>Administration>Log File Viewer [16:12] t again just until i restart. I'm out of ideas, could anyone please help? [16:13] the problem with real computer is that it claims there are some missing files on packages and it just won't install [16:13] sonsee: the website works [16:13] Vigo, and how to use it? [16:13] I burned 2 cds, didn't help [16:13] I agree :) [16:13] MavJac: it means you have two kernel versions installed... you can remove the old one in the synaptic package manager... search for linux-image and remove the -22 one... though it is usually a good idea to keep one old kernel around in case the new one breaks [16:13] @MavJac you probably just installed the newer kernel [16:13] can I see the link? [16:13] oh ok. thanks [16:13] people is there any webcam program which compresses better than cheese? i need to record hours of video and that takes my whole disk [16:14] spiderbone: verify the md5sums? Try a iso to flash drive and install from flash type install? [16:14] abuayyoub no i havent i just tried Gimp tonight, its pretty good might even do the switch from PS [16:14] gimp just can't do what PS does [16:14] ChogyDan: it fails because it can't find the kernel headers. This is due to the fact that the installer uses a different kernel version then /target. [16:14] Marco___: ok back [16:14] ill try to install it on vmware from the cd I burned, if it won't work ill come back again... [16:15] gimp isn't intended for what ps does, it's a manipulation image program, not a designers suite [16:15] ne7work: http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:HgDjbWnLUrAJ:https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/pdf/ubuntu/C/desktopguide.pdf+log+file+viewer&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESh7aUCo0TnZDMcTKNHbJTpfaYjAe75g8PECU3V7avbOzUU0h_c1Tgvo_oLia2n8FrjJEdVYftI9Lhgku8jxK5n8XkCilqof0i11sO6YR4MJ6GrNPxmxOCJGppdG2mt3o0iN-MUy&sig=AHIEtbTRSSvOHx9lCb1BrS8tuW_6gckV4g [16:15] White_Horse: are you familiar with unix permission? [16:15] psidrum, really? I tried Gimp dozens of times but never could get the hang of it. Wanted to switch to PS but I been using Paint Shop Pro since like '95 [16:15] markr_: BTW; you can download from multiple mirrors, but you will fail. [16:15] need help using bootcamp on ubuntu [16:15] what's up DevilHan ? [16:15] Anyway. [16:15] anyone know an example of how to program gtk to control mouse movement? had no luck with google [16:15] node0: the file is create at installation-time from openssh-server postinst [16:15] I use photoshop CS4...it can do anything [16:15] ChogyDan: I'm trying to fix it by installing the kernel headers for the installer kernel into /target with the preseed, but if the installer kernel version changes I'm hosed again. [16:15] jpds: why would it fail? [16:15] obiwan, can't partition the stupid disk using bootcamp assistant [16:15] jpds: the idea of a mirror is that it is _equal_ to the original. [16:16] sonsee: sure but its not in english [16:16] abuayyoub: I never could get the hang of Photoshop, and always preferred GIMP. [16:16] bipolar: are the headers installed on /target? I thought dkms was supposed to be able to handle the build failures later [16:16] node0: look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/openssh-server.postinst [16:16] DevilHan: what i did: make a small bootcamp partition , then insert linux cd and format the whole freakin drive haha [16:16] jpds: otherwise it is not a mirror. [16:16] abuayyoub: theres a few video podcast things out on using the GIMP. taught me a lot about using it. [16:16] I`m not English )) [16:16] markr_: Not all mirrors are in *exact* sync with each other. [16:16] Marco___: certainly - why not? [16:16] DevilHan: if it won't let you do it, maybe you need to clean up some space? [16:16] I have to cut the grass now, Thank you all and Good Day. [16:16] KiaForce not too much [16:16] It doesn`t matter [16:16] bipolar: ie, on boot /target would build the drivers it needs with the headers it has [16:16] I have a lot of space, it is a 500GB drive [16:16] Vigo: enjoy the smells :) [16:16] jpds: yes, but they will be for 99%. [16:16] ChogyDan: it doesn't seem to work. dkms shows the module installed, but it's not built. [16:16] but it just say it couldn't move some files [16:17] anyone? please? [16:17] I tried deleting some big files, like the stupid windoze vmware file [16:17] if you work in gimp and you are thinking photoshop, then it will be hard for you, have to let go of the PS thoughts and just work with what is in the program, its pretty easy [16:17] Friends, any way to add IRC contacts on Empathy? [16:17] but still doesn't work [16:17] KiaForce I have 4 screen shots where can i upload them ? [16:17] Hi folks, I need help fixing my ubuntu desktop, I am plagued by an unfixable Apt Authentication issue. I have tried every fix I can find on the net and in forums and have been unable to repair my apt/aptitude. [16:17] Marco: not related to your problem at all [16:17] bipolar: yeah, I was running into issues with dkms in that way. It wasn't really cleaning up after itself [16:17] I hate Mac and Windows equally [16:17] White_Horse: dunno, what format are they? [16:17] but can't everyone just use ubuntu [16:17] psidrum: IIRC, even drawing a rectangle requires knowing something about how The Gimp works already. [16:17] .png [16:18] psidrum: so, that's simplistic advice. [16:18] KaiForce: ok... now that my disk is mounted (again), I'll retry to run the installation [16:18] ChogyDan: I *think* that if the module builds sucessfuly once it will continue to work though the lifetime of the install. However since it's not building on the first try it fails. [16:18] not really sure though. [16:18] Marco___: let me know what the installer says if it fails [16:18] people please is there any webcam program which compresses better than cheese? i need to record hours of video and that takes my whole disk [16:18] DevilHan, osx is unix based is it not? [16:18] brb [16:18] bipolar: no, I think it needs to be built for every ABI version of the kernel [16:19] I Need help. I just completed a "new" install (10.04) to a 1.5T HD on my machine. I have No sound. If a reboot the same machine with *8.04) everything is fine. I have checked Alsa and installed pulse audio. Any help that would point me in the right direction would be appreciated.. [16:19] psidrum: and I also don't think you can say that The Gimp is equal to PhotoShop in terms of features/stability and performance. [16:19] yes, it is unix based [16:19] installs just fine on vmware from the cd I burned which won't install on the real computer [16:19] but that doesn't mean apple won't fuck it up [16:19] !ot | markr_ [16:19] by making it so different in so many ways [16:19] markr_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Ubuntu 10.04 with Asus EN8400GS with Nouveau drivers, two monitors. The other monitor loses the mouse pointer when, well, I think it has to do with starting LyX and Qt? Anyone with a 8400GS, or just using the Nouveau drivers with two monitors who can test it? Install LyX and see if the other monitor loses mouse pointer.. [16:21] !sound dcarros [16:21] !sound | dcarros [16:21] dcarros: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[16:21] does anyone know how to setup global settings for gnome on a multiuser server? [16:22] i basically want to have a single theme that i force on all my users ;) [16:22] sonsee: it works. thanx [16:22] onetinsoldier: Thanks good idea [16:22] i want to create a script that will run at the user startup and i have 3 commands [16:22] noolness: why would you want to do that? [16:23] how to create that script [16:23] My apt get auth issue is here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/F3fvDzZc and I cant seem to fix it, its been harrassing me for weeks. [16:23] noolness: or do you like to create enemies? [16:23] swapy: write the script to a shellscript file, and then add it to rc [16:23] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install, it doesn't start X at all not even when I tell it to [16:23] KiaForce http://www.imgshack.info/images/ttutmyaj7r9lq8ec796.png , http://www.imgshack.info/images/mgs5g8xwawo2vr7uoj4.png , http://www.imgshack.info/images/9r3rfsbaqfkic9qvsga.png , http://www.imgshack.info/images/as0pormme5xp7r772et.png [16:23] markr_: he wants to set a default === molex is now known as Guest78440 [16:24] markr_: not to force a particular theme [16:24] swapy: with update-rc [16:24] Hi, does anyone know the command to launch Alsamixer? [16:24] abuayyoub: in X? [16:24] abuayyoub: alsamixer [16:24] llutz: yes.. you are right.. thanks much [16:24] obiwan_, do you mean should i save it as .sh file [16:24] noolness: anyway, there are multiple ways. You can either do it when you create the user, or you figure out how it works on a per software basis. [16:24] yea lol im an idiot [16:24] yeah swapy [16:24] abuayyoub: i use the gnome one... it's a front-end to alsamixer [16:25] markr_: well the users already exist and have gnome configurations from an older version of gnome [16:25] noolness: there are also GUI programs to do this, but in the end you need an API to do these kinds of things. [16:25] which makes it a bit difficult [16:25] onetinsoldier yea, thats what im lookin for [16:25] hello [16:25] it's a junky solaris box ;) [16:25] hi here [16:25] but we have like 161 users on it [16:25] onetinsoldier (great song BTW) [16:25] hello, i'm new to linux, does installing ubuntu dual boot with windows..reduce the performance of ubuntu.. [16:25] ? [16:25] its ready sudo ifconfig eth0 down [16:25] sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether xxxxxxxxxx [16:25] sudo ifconfig eth0 up [16:25] that sucks [16:25] abuayyoub: if you don't have it installed install it with --> sudo aptitude install gnome-alsamixer [16:25] is there a way to force ubuntu to reinstall the kernel , as well as grub and reconfigure all the stuff ? [16:25] i just did chmod 770 on / [16:25] abuayyoub: thanks.. it's an oldie but a goodie! [16:25] by accident ;) [16:25] noolness: well, the only way to know is to know how the exact software works, which seems to be your job. [16:25] obiwan_, now should i add it to startup applications? [16:26] ManOnFire: no [16:26] i ls'ed a directory and thought i was in it ;) [16:26] bacon [16:26] yeah swapy [16:26] obiwan_, what is update rc [16:26] so i just typed chmod 770 * to fix some permissions [16:26] wat wrong with my KDE, bcoz when im logging afer dat come the interface but a few sec da monitor is blank and just out popup to logout [16:26] and bam ;) [16:26] onetinsoldier, my mom and I used to listen to that song on loop for hours [16:26] abuayyoub: after it's installed you can just launch it from the command line with that command... gnome-alsamixer [16:26] it's a good thing i didn't do chmod -R 770 * ;) [16:26] swapy: copy that file to /etc/rc.local [16:26] noolness: So, it might be that there already exists something for "administrators", but you would have to be lucky in that case. [16:26] that would ahve really sucked ;) [16:26] hello [16:26] ohk [16:27] markr_: yeah i am betting it's not easy to do, because not many people do it [16:27] hi all. i have an issue with this: http://dpaste.com/194165/ i compiled it with: -lGL -lglut and i installed freeglut3-dev. someone can help me? thanks [16:27] abuayyoub: roger . i like the song of course, and i like some world war ii type of battleground games. so i use it as my nick in those games, and here obviously :-) [16:27] How can I change the wallpaper via a shell command? [16:27] noolness: in the grand schemes of things, I would consider it "easy". [16:27] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install [16:27] noolness: if you can program, it is easy, if you cannot it is hard. [16:27] markr_: well true [16:27] obiwan_, rc.local is .sh file how can i add just edit and add commands to it? [16:28] wat wrong with my KDE, bcoz when im logging afer dat come the interface but a few sec da monitor is blank and just out popup to logout....(somebody can help me not)???? [16:28] and then update-rc.d yourscript.sh defaults [16:28] sonsee: ok, heres something that seems not to work in firefox [16:28] but the server gets deployed tomorrow, and this is just one of the millions of little things i have to do by tomorrow ;) [16:28] swapy: and then update-rc.d yourscript.sh defaults [16:28] sonsee: wanna see? [16:28] noolness: if you have to do it for a company with a million employees the costs for development could be justified. [16:28] oh swapy ok please let me se [16:28] noolness: it's just a cost-benefits analysis. [16:28] markr_: of course [16:28] :) [16:28] obiwan_, got it ill copy that script in /etc folder right? then update [16:29] i thought there is some way to make global settings using gconf though [16:29] just installed I think my WG111v3 in U 9.10 got the gui interface and now see sys/adm/winwireless drvrs The device is recognized but no monitors saying it is ready what am i missing? [16:29] but i don't know, maybe there isn't ;) [16:29] noolness: there probably is a way. [16:29] of course none of it is documented though [16:29] swapy: add it to /etc/init.d/ [16:29] noolness: do you know kiosk? [16:29] swapy: sry too much time without adding scripts hehe [16:29] onetinsoldier, I am trying to set up my mic for Skype, but for some reason it's not working. Alsamixer showed mic was muted. unmuted but still nothing. Any suggestions? Says it's using pulseaudio not sure if that has to be unmuted as well... The mic is built in on my lappy BTW [16:29] noolness: I think that is something like that for KDE, I am pretty sure there is a Gnome counter part. [16:29] markr_: nope [16:29] i get this error all the time in ubuntu and i'd love to know how to fix it without rebooting - any help? http://imgur.com/YpcSJ.png [16:30] obiwan_, when i want to copy files in system how can i get sudo permission without using terminal [16:30] i'll check it out [16:30] abuayyoub: don't know. don't know about mic settings.. sorry [16:30] kjele: hey, when i try to run netbeans i get this: The JDK is missing and is required to run some NetBeans modules Please use the --jdkhome command line option to specify a JDK installation or see http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqRunningOnJre for more information. [16:30] swapy: You can't. [16:30] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install, it doesn't start X at all not even when I tell it to [16:30] onetinsoldier, in skype settings it says for microphone its PulseAudio Server (local) [16:30] oh [16:30] ok [16:30] either way if there isn't a simple way to just do it, it's probably not going to happen ;) [16:30] i HATE the nouveau driver! HATE it [16:30] Anyone know abot Microphone settings/problems [16:30] my CPU usage remains at 99% for minutes at a time when I'm not even using it.. how can I tell what is taking up so much? I'm new to ubuntu [16:31] not getting any sound threw the mic [16:31] jpds: looking at those mirrors, I had no idea they were lagging that much. [16:31] tommy^m: That is pretty offtopic [16:31] Just got 10.04 and it freezes a lot [16:31] MavJac: Use something like htop [16:31] theadmin, so i have to just rely on terminal to edit system file copy settings [16:31] kjele: but i've already changed the path [16:31] Mavjac: use "top" [16:31] abuayyoub: well, sounds like what you'd hope to see in skype, but i don't know [16:31] ok thanks [16:31] got a wireless usb stick driver is installed but what's next? [16:31] swapy: Yeah... I am in the terminal all the time, get used to it :P [16:31] markr_: They're asked to sync every 6 hours. [16:31] theadmin: well i cant even boot 10.04, GPU lockup: switching to fbcon [16:31] shitty driver [16:32] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install, it doesn't start X at all not even when I tell it to [16:32] theadmin, how to copy a file what is command used [16:32] tommy^m: what's wrong with it? [16:32] swapy: cp source target [16:32] orogor: hello [16:32] does anybody know why Kubuntu gives me a blank list of partitions when installing? [16:32] kjele:: wat wrong with my KDE, bcoz when im logging afer dat come the interface but a few sec da monitor is blank and justcome out popup to logout [16:32] tommy^m: I only used it for 2d thusfar, so I have no idea how much it sucks for 3d. [16:32] swapy: Example: cp /etc/apt/sources.list $HOME/sources.list.backup [16:32] markr_: wont boot on my laptop, 9.10 works great, but this just doesnt work [16:32] markr_: Also that was their freshness at the time they were checked, which could of being days ago. [16:32] I tried to remove the actual partitions, recreate it inside live Kubuntu but nothing changes === Guest78440 is now known as molex333 [16:32] i even blacklisted the driver, and X still wont boot with gfx [16:33] tommy^m: it works on my laptop. [16:33] even tried to reboot [16:33] tommy^m: (unexpectedly I might add) [16:33] markr_: works on my job laptop too [16:33] Marco___: sorry, back. my gnome desktop keeps crashing, but i've got pulseaudio disabled so maybe that will fix it [16:33] not on my private one [16:33] tommy^m: so, why don't you just install the nvidia one? [16:33] orogor: i think, what are are wanting to do might not be all that hard, but it wouldn't be all that quick and easy either. and it would probably take a reboot === sam_ is now known as Guest31916 [16:33] Marco___: are you sure that Kubuntu isn't supposed to be showing blank partitions? [16:33] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install, it doesn't start X at all not even when I tell it to. === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [16:34] markr_: need x to dl the driver, its not in the repos [16:34] Why does my CPU work hard playing x.246 HD video, when I have a vdpau-compliant gfx-card and the vdpau driver? [16:34] and there is no grub menu [16:34] theadmin, i found something unusual sudo works but su dosent :( why [16:34] tommy^m: no, you don't need x to dl the driver. [16:34] swapy: su? Su is old [16:34] Query: Which meatbag decided to add an effeminate touch to Ubuntu? [16:34] swapy: su dosent work by default on ubuntu [16:34] tommy^m: you can apt-get install link2 [16:34] common man [16:34] tommy^m: then you can browse the web via a console session and download the driver. [16:34] We just keep it cause it's a part of coreutils :/ [16:34] swapy: su needs a working root-account/password [16:34] :( [16:34] tommy^m: that's how I save cluster fucks. [16:35] oh i get it [16:35] cluster fucks? [16:35] sudo su will switch to root [16:35] mcgvac: DON'T DO SO [16:35] swapy: Yo have to create a password for root before. [16:35] tommy^m: mistakes by whoever distributed the OS I happen to be using. [16:35] swapy: Never "sudo su", just "sudo -i" if you need root access [16:35] swapy: just use "sudo -i" [16:35] swapy: the only way i've seen 'su' used in quite a while, is to 'sudo' to the su user.. like so --> sudo su [16:35] swapy: i don't know a better way, but you may use use su - userinrootgroup {command1;command2;command3} [16:35] swapy: which is the same things as 'sudo -i' i think [16:35] Marco___: i'm not sure exactly. You say it doesn't see partitions, but the installer should partition the drive for you,no? [16:36] kjele: Still here? [16:36] onetinsoldier: Not exactly, I've seen sudo su frack some stuff up [16:36] I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about a problem i'm having with my Microphone? Trying to set up skype, sound works perfectly however it looks like there is no audio working. Have three selections in the Sound options (mic 1,2 and line in) all 3 dont work. Tried Alsamixer. unmuted all but still nothing.... Any suggestions? Sound device under skype settings is |PulseAudio Server (local) [16:36] swapy: and add that user to root group, which has permissions for everything. then make that script execution/read only, so no one can access root privieleges [16:36] tommy^m: anyway, what do you want? Do you expect that the driver will work on all hardware at the first release? === Votan is now known as Votan|off [16:36] Marco___: ok, what kind of system is this? or what motherboard? [16:36] tommy^m: I sure don't, since there is no documentation for the hardware to begin with. [16:36] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install, it doesn't start X at all not even when I tell it to. [16:36] by the way if you face problems in ubuntu where do you access 1st on net ?? [16:36] Marco___: thought being that the sata controller you are using is not supported?? [16:36] hey guys [16:36] kjele: I wouldnt go to far by doing any changes to the boot, i once had a unbootable system before when i first installed Karmic. [16:36] question, can I install ubuntu server edition to use with my 4 windows pc ? [16:37] tommy^m: and even then the hardware may contain bugs which requires work arounds, which are already evolved in the nvidia driver. [16:37] whats a good gnome cd ripping tool that supports cover art at the time of ripping [16:37] u know, acuires the art and attaches it [16:37] theadmin: oh? hmmm, roger. perhpas it's not the same thing as 'sudo -i' then. if i need a root shell, i suse sudo -i and haven't had a problem. can't really say i've used 'sudo su' personally. [16:37] tommy^m: we are not yet in a technology nirvana where you know something will work before testing it. [16:37] swapy: this is pretty messy, and i'm sure there's a better approach, but as a fast solution this will work [16:37] obiwan_: swapy: users with administrator rights should be added to the admin group (not root group) [16:37] markr_: better to use a standard vesa driver then a driver that doesnt work on all computers [16:37] oh ok guntbert yeah i always forget hehe [16:37] tommy^m: that is a valid point. [16:38] guntbert: specially because there's a adm group, a admin group, and then root lol ^_^ [16:38] hi [16:38] hello- where can i find a list of packages which have been added and dropped between ubuntu releases? will it be easiest to just diff the ubuntu-desktop virtual packages? [16:38] tommy^m: I am not affiliated with Canonical, but I can imagine why they did it. [16:38] obiwan_, i face some problems when transferring data from 1 partition to other cannot see freespace or any details :( its mostly very tough when you are downloading torrents we need to judge freespace and for that i have to open system monitor again and again what do you guys do to keep watch on your hdd partitions?? [16:38] everobody knwo french ? xD [16:38] tommy^m: basically they just want to accellerate getting rid of propr. drivers. [16:38] obiwan_: thats easy: the root group contains only root himself [16:38] what's a good cmdline tool for recording audio from the mic, and writing it to a file? writing mp3 is preferred. [16:38] good guntbert thanks :) [16:39] tommy^m: having users use it, and have them reporting bugs will help with that, but they are basically stealing your time in some sense. [16:39] orogor: hello, you not here? [16:39] obiwan_: :) [16:39] the ubuntu is installing just fine on vmware from the cd I burned but when I boot my computer with the cd it won't install, it doesn't start X at all not even when I tell it to. [16:39] tommy^m: OTOH, you get to use their system too when it is done. [16:39] Anyone who can help me getting Vbox to work? My current problem is http://paste.ubuntu.com/432819/ [16:39] i face some problems when transferring data from 1 partition to other cannot see freespace or any details :( its mostly very tough when you are downloading torrents we need to judge freespace and for that i have to open system monitor again and again what do you guys do to keep watch on your hdd partitions?? [16:39] swapy: where do you have those problems? [16:39] in ubuntu [16:39] spiderbone: what kind of computer? or did I already ask ?? [16:40] it dosent show details of freespace in my computer [16:40] normal kind of computer [16:40] swapy: and you can't see freespace? what's the error you get? [16:40] what do you do to keep watch on hdd [16:40] spiderbone: ok good luck fixing. bye [16:40] Could someone suggest to me some good iPod management software? [16:40] I forgot to come here. [16:40] lol [16:40] swapy, i usually just check 'df -h' in a console now and then [16:40] no rippers with cover art support? [16:40] obiwan_, no error i want when i open computer there will be details view with freespace tab [16:40] swapy: usually with df -h /home for example you can see the used space & free [16:40] markr_: true [16:40] Can someone say me, how to install drivers for ralink ra2870? [16:41] markr_: about time to get a new laptop anyway :) [16:41] tommy^m: newer laptops often work worse. [16:41] ok any nice widget or app to show on right side of screen @ desktop hdd monitoring? tried many but had many problems [16:41] tommy^m: i know, right? there are killer ones now compared to even a year ago [16:41] god what the heck, I try to ssh and it just hangs up [16:41] I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about a problem i'm having with my Microphone? Trying to set up skype, sound works perfectly however it looks like there is no audio working. Have three selections in the Sound options (mic 1,2 and line in) all 3 dont work. Tried Alsamixer. unmuted all but still nothing.... Any suggestions? Sound device under skype settings is |PulseAudio Server (local) [16:41] swapy: also, in nautilus with right click in the root dir or other partition and selecting properties will show a disk usage graph [16:41] tommy^m: unless you get one which is certified to run Linux. [16:41] i got a new one from work, lenovo [16:41] its great [16:41] hiya. when using "connecto to server" is there a way to change the mount point. I need it to not have spaces in and it gets mapped as "sharename on servername" [16:41] ssd disk [16:41] 10.04 boots in like 10 seconds [16:41] tommy^m: what kind of real world battery time do you get on it? [16:42] swapy: you want a window to spawn showing you the free space you have? [16:42] matalo: It uses GVFS I suppose. [16:42] no dvd/cd, 2 batterys instead [16:42] tommy^m: and how large is the screen? [16:42] Anyone who can help me getting Vbox to work? My current problem is http://paste.ubuntu.com/432819/ [16:42] dont know yet [16:42] 14.1 [16:42] i think [16:42] yes in all hdd partitions [16:42] tommy^m: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:42] T410s [16:42] how do I get a display of what the colums are with ps ? [16:42] Talu: Let me check that quick. [16:42] theadmin: Sure dude. [16:42] swapy: that's easy: gnome-terminal -c df -h /dev/sd* [16:42] Talu: Did you try to do what it says? [16:42] swapy: that will show the free space in every partition [16:42] obiwan_, i am used to watch freespace now and then [16:42] o [16:42] KiaForce http://www.imgshack.info/images/ttutmyaj7r9lq8ec796.png , http://www.imgshack.info/images/mgs5g8xwawo2vr7uoj4.png , http://www.imgshack.info/images/9r3rfsbaqfkic9qvsga.png , http://www.imgshack.info/images/as0pormme5xp7r772et.png [16:42] oo nevermind, I was using grep afterweards :P [16:42] where can u find gnome apps? [16:42] theadmin: Im kinda unsure how to do it. [16:42] it was good if i had gui to do so [16:43] matalo: If the reason you want it to not have spaces is so you can use it in a script, remember that you can use spaces in paths by using the escape character [16:43] theadmin: yep, it does. but I cant see how to change the mount [16:43] looking for a good ripper that gets album art [16:43] Talu: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-dkms && sudo modprobe vboxdrv [16:43] swapy: add the comand i said to your script [16:43] matalo: ie the folder "share on server" could be programatically referred to as "share\ on\ server" [16:43] fine fine [16:43] theadmin: Alright, gonna enter that line :] [16:43] CogitoErgoSam: I thought as much, though PHP seems to be having issues with it. Even if i make a symlink without space it still falls over [16:43] swapy: that way whenever you boot it will show [16:43] it would be better if i get gui [16:44] theadmin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/432827/ [16:44] swapy: actually if you add it to /etc/rc5.d/ it will show whenever you start x. then use update-rc.d yourscript defaults [16:44] matalo: What do you mean by php having issues with it?

[16:45] hey thanks [16:45] matalo: The escape characters are going to be different in php than in bash too...I just assumed it would be bash [16:45] swapy: actually you should put it in /etc/rc5.d/ and then use update-rc === Votan|off is now known as Votan [16:45] spiderbone: In that case I would want to know the motherboard brand/model [16:46] swapy: that way it won't disappear just in case the system breaks files in /etc/init.d/ [16:46] ohh [16:46] matalo: At least I think its different; I'm not positive [16:46] Question: Whats that shortcut that pops up the run window?

[17:02] mguy its always locked, its not keeping any layout i adjust it to, and if i do adjust it on reboot it changes again [17:03] tjholowaychuk, can't hurt to try "iptables --list | grep "888[89]" and see what shows up [17:03] depends on the compression you choose, see pref and extended pref [17:03] mr_bo_jangles: Some program might be doing it...

[17:39] ok, Xorg keeps crashing on me, and when I look through SSH at top I see Xorg being repeatedly re-launched but not successfully starting. How do I troubleshoot this? [17:40] KaOSoFt: It should be in ~/.local/ [17:40] KaiForce: check /var/log/Xorg.?.log [17:40] KaOSoFt: for most files, right clicking them, properties, open with tab should handle it, for folders you need to edit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [17:41] No, no, I mean, adding or editing the program list displayed with Open With. [17:41] llutz: ok, i found that. I'll pastebin when it occurs again [17:41] trism, I don't see such file: mimeapps.list, I mean. [17:42] that ubuntu link is nice but it doesnt address what if my network has a key on it [17:42] Hi guys! What is a good iPod tool which takes care of converting, ...? Thank you [17:42] KaOSoFt: ~/.local/share/application for programs that you add yourself. The other is in /usr/share something [17:43] Ohh, okay, I guess that's the one. Thanks. :) [17:43] fallback: huh? /dev/foo/bar is just a symlink to /dev/mapper/foo-bar [17:43] for everyone who wish to know this: I solved my installation issue with hard disk :) you need to run this command "sudo apt-get remove dmraid" and the installation will recognize the hard disk :) [17:43] KaOSoFt: yea in /usr/share/applications [17:43] swapy: didn't help. the issue is this: i want to install a system independent open office extension. Linux extensions come in the .oxt format, while the system independent ones come in .dat format. I can open the file and see some .xml files within it. Now, my knowledge regarding the English language tells me that "system independent" files should work on any OS. Tell me if I'm wrong. [17:43] Does anyone know if Vbox shares network with ubuntu?

You never can be too sure/safe.

Thank you! :) [17:50] yea... but you have destroyed the metadata, so the lvm tools can no longer find it... as soon as you reboot you won't have anything in /dev/mapper anymore [17:50] LVM not finding anything was also the case before i tried pvcreate... [17:50] How can I run x11vnc if Ubuntu is sitting at the login screen?

And the only reference to adobe air i find on my file system is a small script in /usr/bin, which does nothing when executing [17:57] fallback: then your system vg is not on /dev/md0 [17:57] cybertek: it's incompatible with the newer PHP [17:58] kjele: Yea, I suppose, but I could just use vncserver if I wanted to do that. Thing is I'd like to connect to that pc remotely, then when I get on site have everything still running. Plus I need people to share the active login with remote users, so I need x11vnc. [17:58] My hp laptop has a button to toggle the mousepad on/off. Sometimes this button also turns off the keyboard and itself, while freezing nautilus.

[17:58] it absolutely is, the other server has exactly the same configuration and is still intact [17:58] fallback: it sounds like you have two different volume groups... and the one on the raid is not working [17:58] K|nG: you have to be more specific than 'can't connect' [17:59] K|nG: which ubuntu version are u using? [17:59] Sandertje: 10.04 [17:59] i have two volume groups, foo on /dev/md0 and bar on /dev/md1 - seriously, the servers are clones [17:59] BGL-[t]: I can see my ISP but can't connect to it === Fenario is now known as Fenario-lunch [17:59] fallback: and which one do you currently see in /dev/mapper? foo or bar? [17:59] Sna4x8: To be honest I do not quite understand the question [17:59] both [18:00] actually i just see /dev/mapper/foo-swap not /dev/mapper/foo [18:00] Hello anyone got a sec for a ? [18:00] shoot timmy [18:00] (where swap is one of the logical volumes on foo) [18:00] K|nG: click the internet symbol in your upper taskbar. Your wireless network should be visible in the drop down list. Just clikc the name of it, and enter any passwords necessary [18:00] DJIronSkillet: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [18:00] kjele: Normally when a user is logged in to that pc on display :0 I can x11vnc -display :0 from the ssh server, then connect to it with a vnc client. [18:00] i mean DJIronSkillet ( [18:00] fallback: right... but sudo vgdisplay doesn't see foo?

Could someone tell me why? [18:01] Sna4x8: The man page says you need the share flag or the forever flag [18:01] kjele: However, if the server is restarted it sits at the ubuntu login screen, and I can't start x11vnc until someone goes onsite and manually logs in. [18:01] no it just says "no such file or directory" [18:01] mu user ->my user [18:01] OK so I jut tried to install 10.04 on a Toshiba Satilite I bouhgt in April and no dice it hangs at what looks like a Memory allocation error [18:01] Hello, this is my Xorg.log http://pastebin.slackadelic.com/p/VPNN2J59.html i'm trying to start X without a mouse, is that why its crashing? [18:01] K|nG: any error message? or does it the password-enter thingy come back after a minute or so? [18:01] fallback: what? pastebin the output of sudo vgdisplay -v [18:01] kjele: Yea, I use those, that's not my issue. My problem is I can't start it when it's sitting at the login screen, someone has to manually log in. [18:01] DJIronSkillet: what error message [18:02] When I ran it as root it created a couple of tables but never returned what the WS said it should... [18:02] kjele: I basically need a way of remotely logging in to the gnome session or something.

[18:02] its got to do with AHCP I think [18:02] that's a tricky one; i'm irc-ing with my laptop and remote accessing the server via vnc..

[18:04] kjele: But then what about the display :0.. if someone comes on site and needs to see the desktop. [18:04] psusi how do i rm the tables without being able to get into mysql since i forgot the password for it [18:04] NickName: Use gconf-editor, nautilus and desktop and uncheck "show mounted volumes" [18:04] or something similar [18:04] Jack21: you don't do anything with mysql.. you just delete the files [18:04] rhythmbox crashes on start, I am fully updated, please help.

[18:05] Sna4x8: the xinit -- :1 is on you locally not the remote. When they are on site they of course do not see that. But then they can just login and you will be able to use vnc [18:05] basically it says: "scanning for physical volume names" and then /dev/dev/disk/by-id/yadayadayada : stat failed no such file or directory, and it says that for all the volumes as well as the corresponding uuid's [18:05] Sandertje: at windows i connect at Wireless without password but at Ubuntu request authoritation [18:05] anyone for un sound problem ?

[18:05] NickNak: Found it. run "gconf-editor", go to Apps->Nautilus->Desktop and uncheck the box that says "volumes_visible" [18:05] I installed this driver http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/WHQL-Catalyst-driver-for-Radeon-HD5830.aspx - The installation went fine, I rebooted then the system went to a prompt. Low gfx mode or reconfigure. I have gone back to generic config with some success. [18:05] K|nG: make a screenshot [18:06] ibqn: Open Appearances, click "Customize". [18:06] I removed the ati driver which was installed but now one package always appears as broken - I cannot install the driver from Hardware Drivers. [18:06] kjele: Well, i could just pipe everything over ssh or use regular vncserver if that would work for my case. [18:06] llutz: ok, it crashed again. pastebin at http://pastebin.com/cmrACJhv. I don't know how to read it [18:06] sorry, but how do i do that from a vnc console? [18:06] kjele: x11vnc used to work fine in the old version of ubuntu at the login screen.

But aren't you suppose to ssh into the remote and then start x11vnc there? [18:08] Jack21: #mysql and they can tell you how to retrieve or reset your password. Less hassel than starting over. :) [18:08] In ubuntu ...any notes taking software / alternate to basket notes please ??? [18:08] psusi: did that get through? [18:08] kjele: Yes, that's normally what I do, and tunnel in to the vnc server over ssh. [18:09] K|nG: you must have entered a key in windows as well the first time you accessed the network. In ubuntu, you also need to authorize the very first time. Unless it's an unprotected network, but it wouldnt ask for authentication if it would [18:09] pleaaaase ! http://is.gd/c7FAC [18:09] :) [18:09] fallback: no, paste it to paste.ubuntu.com... also that looked like you were running lvdisplay not vgdisplay [18:09] CogitoErgoSam: Thanks, that did the trick! [18:09] Sna4x8, kjele: To do remote vnc with x11vnc, you absolutely should tunnel in via SSH first, forwarding the VNC port, and then run x11vnc with the localhost parameter. [18:09] Sna4x8: Then basically you are login already [18:09] just a mo [18:09] KaiForce: sorry, i cannot see any error in that log too.

My problem is that x11vnc no longer works when Ubuntu is sitting at the gnome-session login screen. x11vnc -display :0 fails even though X is started on display :0. [18:10] llutz anything else i can look at? It runs fine for a while then it goes black, kb stops working (i.e. I can't alt+ctrl out to a terminal) and Xorg seems to go into a restart loop [18:11] llutz: thank you [18:11] fallback: ok, now paste the url for it here so I can see it ;) [18:11] Sna4x8: I can help with that. [18:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/432882/ [18:11] should I sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg-xserver? [18:11] hey question guys should i install the resitricted broadcom sta wireless driver or keep my ndiswrapper solution? [18:11] KaiForce: no idea, sorry [18:11] Sna4x8: The problem is that without a user logged in, x11vnc doesn't know which X authority file to use. To log in, you'll need to run x11vnc with the parameter "-auth /home//.Xauthority" [18:11] theGman: ok found the files. now i will delete them :D [18:12] Could someone tell me why gpg --fingerprint doesn't return anything? Run as root OR my user? When ran as root it created a few tables but that's it. [18:12] llutz: no problem, thanks for listening! [18:12] CogitoErgoSam, I am talking about icons you can see in nautilus or in places menu, this violet color for Computer icons or Desktop icon is so ugly... [18:12] Amburr: If it ain't broke, don't fix it [18:12] CogitoErgoSam: Ahh, let me give that a go. [18:12] Sna4x8: If that doesn't work there are other built-in methods in x11vnc to try and find the right auth file. The man page mentions them. [18:12] fallback: wtf? there are two devs in the paths... it should just be /dev/disk/foo not /dev/dev/disk [18:12] ibqn: Those are controlled by the icon set, as shown under the "Icons" tab of the "Customize" window. [18:13] i noticed that as well, but it is actually there for real too [18:13] Sna4x8: Be sure to put the -auth part before -display [18:13] fallback: huh? [18:13] KaiForce: you might just check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages for some errors, but if nothing was logged to xorg.0.log, i doubt you'll find much [18:13] CogitoErgoSam, yes, but first i need to install them, so I am asking for names! [18:14] what is the dir= line in your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf say? it should just be "/dev", same for the scan= line [18:14] strange the other server doesn't have the /dev/dev [18:14] ibqn: Oh, there should be several installed by default, but a good source for gnome appearance stuff is http://gnome-look.org [18:14] I'm at wits end, why is Xorg using HAL to populate devices? this is just silly. [18:14] How and where do i find a stock xorg.conf for ubuntu? [18:14] dir = "/dev" [18:14] I've got PHP 5.2, Apache and sendmail installed on my server. When I try to send an email from PHP, no error is generated, but nothing is ever sent. I don't see anything in the logs. Any idea where I should look to debug this? === porsche911turbo is now known as chrisjw [18:15] CogitoErgoSam, ubuntu comes with icon package set already for sure, so there is no need to browse gnome-look [18:15] ibqn: you're wanting names of themes you can install with apt-get? [18:15] fallback: that.. is.... FUBAR [18:15] Hello, where can i find the prog fancontrol? [18:15] Is it possible to connect to a windows 7 HomeGroup network? [18:15] indeed :( [18:15] seanr: This channel is more for for ubuntu support; if you're running the webserver on ubuntu you could try #ubuntu-server [18:15] onetinsoldier, yep [18:15] Thanks [18:15] but i can mount the volumes and all data is intact [18:16] fallback: and you say you actually seem to HAVE a /dev/dev directory? does it have disk/by-id/anyofthatstuff in it? [18:16] Sna4x8: Say if it works with the -auth [18:16] so i turn off my computer for the evening and when i turn it back on in th morning, im somehow greeted with an operating system i thought i erased adn wrote over to install the one i went to sleep with. how can i recover my old system. ALSO, GRUB doesn't detect my desired operating system, only this old one from 2009 [18:16] ibqn: just run the following command --> apt-cache search theme | sort | less [18:16] yes i do and yes it does.... [18:16] onetinsoldier, something similar to ubuntu-mono-{light,dark} icon themes [18:16] ibqn: gnome-look is a site full of things like themes and icons that you can install. That's the whole point of the site. They're not the default ones. The items on gnome-look are not included in ubuntu by default [18:16] hi all -- i am trying to install vmware for linux, using tar -- all goes well, up untill the location of the C header files -- GCC is installed ok -- where or how do i find the C header files? http://paste.ubuntu.com/432884/ [18:16] I'm in jaunty and the "deb" command isn't found. Why would that be? [18:16] ibqn: there's quite a few themes there... with that command. including icon themes [18:17] hi [18:17] fallback: df should show a mountpoint for /dev... does it also show one for /dev/dev? or is /dev/dev actually a child directory of /dev? [18:17] fructose: "deb"? you mean dpkg? [18:17] i'll look, just a mo [18:17] CogitoErgoSam: Thanks, I found the auth in /var/run/gdm, and when I give it that auth file it works. === chrisjw is now known as porsche911turbo [18:17] fallback: ohh wtf, I have /dev/dev/disk too [18:17] kjele: Thanks for the help also. [18:17] llutz: No, I'm trying to download cinelerra and the instructions say to use... deb http://akirad.cinelerra.org akirad-jaunty main [18:18] it displays /dev/mapper/foo mounted too /foo [18:18] fructose: thats a line you have to add to your sources.list, not a command [18:18] you have it too? [18:18] hi,all . does synaptic pkg manager read apt cfg files such as /etc/apt/apt.conf & /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* ? [18:18] Sna4x8: No prob. Also, as a note, if you get "Authentication failure" when trying to log into gdm over VNC, try running x11vnc with the -xkb parameter. Sometimes it doesn't pick up the shift key or other modifiers without it. [18:18] fallback: yes... wtf? [18:18] ibqn: if you want to know about one of them that's listed, in antoehr terminal do --> apt-cache show ...and it'll give you more info about it [18:18] Sna4x8: xauth for gmd or your user? [18:18] another* [18:19] Sna4x8: gdm* [18:19] the other twin server doesn't seem to have it [18:19] kjele: He needed to find the default one (gdm's) to run x11vnc prior to a user being logged in on the box [18:19] http://pastebin.org/230510 <-- anyone know howto solve this? the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades does not even exist [18:19] ok, slight problem. grub has borked itself into grub rescue. got linux on hda1 and freedos on hda3. how do I fix? [18:19] kjele: It didn't work with the /user/myuser/.Xauthority because that user wasn't logged in, but I found it with a ps wwwaux |grep -i auth [18:19] so what can we do? [18:20] Sna4x8: ok [18:20] kjele: Yup, and the x11vnc man page walks through the process in depth too [18:20] CogitoErgoSam: Sna4x8 is vnc over ssh faster than X over ssh ? [18:20] fallback: I have no idea why I have a /dev/dev but the links there are broken, though when I run vgdisplay -vv it is not looking in /dev/dev like yours is [18:21] I have upgraded my Desktop to 10.04 and tried to install ubuntu-xen-desktop, but I get `broken package` errors. Is there fix for that, maybe something in the apt/sources file ? [18:21] kjele: It seems faster to me. X over ssh is slow as it gets for me for some reason. [18:21] arghh when i so sudo apt-get purge mysql it opens configuring phpmyadmin window [18:21] kjele: Well, X over ssh is going to be a bit faster because its not rendering the whole UI. [18:21] uhm guys where do i report a bug? [18:21] i just ran into a weird glitch with the gnome panel [18:21] CogitoErgoSam: okey... It feels so damn slow. [18:21] it all happened when the server was powered down due to a power failure, the other server is connected to a different APC; before that everything was working great [18:22] fallback: try rm -fr /dev/dev ;) [18:22] kjele: I use 3 bit color though, and a small screen, so it runs fast for me. [18:22] http://pastebin.org/230510 <-- anyone know howto solve this? the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades does not even exist ... anyone that can help me please? [18:22] Flumdahl: do you have 'apt-file' installed? [18:22] kjele: I run code::blocks over ssh and... can't even hardly type. [18:22] greetings. have installed (from apt-get) ircd-hybrid on ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I am trying to enable encrypted connections for clients. Unfortunately this seems to be missing from apt. Any suggestions on how to do this without having to resort to tarball compiling from ircd-hybrid.org? The owners of the server wish to try to keep everything as close to apt only as possible so that maintenance and upgrades are smoother. thanks. [18:22] onetinsoldier: hold i will check [18:22] won't that kill everything? [18:22] onetinsoldier: nope? [18:22] kjele: If you're logging in remotely, you can use the -C parameter when starting SSH to enable compression [18:22] psusi: that is a poor joke. [18:22] onetinsoldier: now i have installed it [18:22] Flumdahl: install it, and as root... run --> apt-file update [18:22] fallback: it will remove everything in /dev/dev, but I don't think it is supposed to be there in the first place, and the links there seem to be broken anyhow... [18:22] kjele: ie "ssh -X -C @" [18:23] bastidrazor: not a joke [18:23] When I attempt to switch to one of my consoles, all I see is screwed up remnants of plymouth. How do I fix this? === fujnky_ is now known as fujnky [18:23] shit how do i just get rid of mysql . i want to uninstall everything [18:23] ok... i'll try [18:23] arghhhhhhhh [18:23] onetinsoldier: and then ? [18:23] i just can't get dockbarx to display anything on lucid - can anyone offer any help? [18:23] Jack21: apt-get remove mysql* --purge === CogitoErgoSam_ is now known as CogitoErgoSam [18:23] fallback: everything in /dev is generated while the system is running anyhow, so worst case, you reboot and it should come back [18:23] Flumdahl: when that done.. does the following command say anything? apt-file search do-release-upgrade [18:24] rebooting now [18:24] fallback: no [18:24] onetinsoldier: yes, i have it installed. [18:24] fallback: try the vgdisplay now [18:24] but the configuration file does not exist [18:24] Flumdahl: try... whereis do-release-upgrade [18:24] hi all -- i am trying to install vmware for linux, using tar -- all goes well, up untill the location of the C header files -- GCC is installed ok -- where or how do i find the C header files? http://paste.ubuntu.com/432884/ [18:24] fallback: if you reboot /dev/dev will just come back [18:24] waiting for it to come back up, just a mo [18:24] CogitoErgoSam: well I do have 10mbit up and down so kinda strange if that is still slow [18:24] onetinsoldier /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade [18:24] sorry was a bit quick to reboot [18:25] onetinsoldier: i have installed it and purged it and reinstalled it [18:25] anyone here [18:25] fallback: you want to try running vgdisplay when you don't have that silly /dev/dev around for it to fail to open [18:25] Flumdahl: ok, not sure what's up... should work as far as i know [18:25] yep it's back, i'll remove it again and do vgdisplay, just a mo [18:25] CogitoErgoSam: lol like 10x times faster [18:25] fallback: it SHOULD be opening things in /dev and finding your /dev/md0, not mucking with /dev/dev [18:25] merp: have you installed hybserv ... it is the services package, might be neccessarry, and is a reccommend to ircd-hybrid [18:25] i just can't get dockbarx to display anything on lucid - can anyone offer any help? it shows up with the little lock icon on the panel... [18:26] anyone managed to get triple head going with a single radeon 5800 card ? [18:26] Flumdahl: looks like you did have some 'python' errors.. maybe that's the problem [18:26] kjele: What, with compression enabled? [18:26] ok i think ive done it [18:26] Sna4x8: yea :) I never thought it would be that fast! [18:26] fallback: you have mounted devfs in /dev/dev, check your /dev/fstab, maybe [18:26] looks like I'm screwed. [18:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/432893/ [18:26] onetinsoldier: can you put the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file on pastebin? [18:26] is what it says now.. [18:27] Sna4x8: Think you type in code::blocks with compression enable [18:27] is there a way to configure awn to make ctrl-click open the first instance of a grouped application instead of just opening the picker box? (like in win7) [18:27] fallback: and you're SURE that your /etc/lvm/lvm.conf says /dev, not /dev/dev? [18:27] i hashed it all out except / in /etc/fstab [18:27] 100% [18:27] kjele: Another thing to try is modifying the color level of the session via your client. Different clients handle it differently so you'd need to reference the docs for yours on that front. [18:27] what is the most mac-like window manager for ubuntu? [18:27] Flumdahl: sure. it's not much. in fact, i think that other than one single line, it's all comments [18:27] !kde [18:27] i have a bunch of mac users here and i want to see how close i can make ubuntu [18:27] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [18:27] i never touched /etc/lvm/lvm.conf - i set the volumes up during the ubuntu install [18:28] so is software raid broken in ubuntu 10.04? [18:28] CogitoErgoSam: I am using the gnome-terminal [18:28] can't seem to do anything with my md devices [18:28] astra-x: software raid is always a lose [18:28] kjele: vncviewer? [18:28] acerimmer: that wasn't for me was it? [18:28] onetinsoldier: thanks . [18:28] markl_: well thanks for the info [18:28] CogitoErgoSam: No X over ssh [18:28] appreciate the unseful words [18:28] markl_: I triple ubuntu/mac/win7. mostly ubuntu. imho, kde is most mac-ish [18:28] astra-x: heh sorry that wasn't helpful [18:28] what's a decent video editing package for Ubuntu besides cinelerra? [18:28] Flumdahl: you're welcome.. and it has two lines i guess. hang on. this is from Lucid btw [18:28] except that in the long run, use hardware raid [18:28] fallback: that is weird... because it's acting like it's set to only look ing /dev/dev... you do have /dev/md0 right? [18:28] i've had md devices before, ubuntu doesn't seem to like it [18:29] For some reason vncviewer is suuuper slow for me. I have to use vinagre. [18:29] yep both /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 are there [18:29] i'll post my lvm.conf just a sec [18:29] Sna4x8 try xvnc4viewer, its my fave at the moment. [18:29] acerimmer: oh i see; well i am trying to make the keystrokes and dock emulate the mac layout if possible [18:29] astra-x, i'm using software raid with 10.04, what's going wrong? [18:29] yes, but i cannot create any logical partition on /dev/md0 [18:29] Flumdahl: http://pastebin.org/230588 [18:29] Hrm, haven't tried that one. vinagre works really well for me though. [18:30] markl_: "docky" will get a very mac-ish doc. [18:30] onetinsoldier: ah [18:30] hello [18:30] thanks :D [18:30] Sna4x8 & kjele: another thing to check out with vnc sessions is your client's encoding parameter. Sometimes you'll need to force it to use hextile or ZRLE [18:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/432894/ [18:30] acerimmer: what is docky? [18:30] i have lucid in dell precision m4400, its blue tooth is not working, any one know how to fix it [18:30] !docky|markl_ [18:30] where can I see to which path "open with [application xx]" is pointing in nautilus? [18:31] Flumdahl: is fiesty an LTS release... it's not, is it [18:31] Flumdahl: is fiesty an LTS release...? it's not, is it [18:31] GeekSquid, yes I have installed hybrserv, but not yet configured it, I will check it's config and see if anything relevant. [18:31] hey guys is it hard to setup an ubuntu repository that will be used rather than the ubuntu repo? I mean package wise. If i have a package in a local repo it should be used instead of the ubuntu repo etc. [18:31] Hi, question: I'm trying to help a friend with something. Does anyone know if an Apple USB external "Superdrive" will work with Ubuntu? Are there generic drivers for external DVD drives? [18:31] ade2_: do you have to use lvm on top of md's? [18:31] markl_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/11/docky-gains-panel-mode-network-docklet.html [18:31] thinking about setting up a repo here at work that will house all of the apps we need for development such as apache, etc. all the proper versions and let new hires use the repo to install the dev environment [18:32] Flumdahl: i don't think you can use 'do-release-upgrade' unless you're running and LTS release [18:32] markl_: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FJH0hYZmVtc/Swisg5veIBI/AAAAAAAAEhs/6S8_8Zo7cVc/s400/screenshot_042.png [18:32] acerimmer: cool [18:32] astra-x: No, I always put /boot on /dev/md0, but put everything else in lvm. [18:32] onetinsoldier: hmm.. do-release-upgrade was installed by default . [18:33] markl_: :) [18:33] HN : I have got a Soundcard "M-Audio 24-96" and in sound settings i got the "Digital Stereo duplex" set (i need the "Analog Stereo duplex") [18:33] jcrawford: check out reprepro for your own packages, and apt-cacher-ng for standard ubuntu packages. [18:33] Flumdahl: is fiesty an LTS? [18:33] ade2_: so i can use standard "bios" partitions on the md device? [18:33] don't think it is [18:33] psusi? anything there? [18:33] fallback: filter = [ "a|/dev/drbd|", "r|.*|" ] [18:33] onetinsoldier: feisty is not lts [18:33] trism: roger... thanks [18:33] fallback: you seem to have changed that line and it is wrong I think [18:33] CogitoErgoSam: Sna4x8, though using firefox remotely is a bit slow. [18:33] for the first time [18:33] hi. i want to create an iso image of a cd. I tried using brasero, but even after installing cdrdao, it still won't create an iso image [18:33] i just can't get dockbarx to display anything on lucid - can anyone offer any help? it shows up with the little lock icon on the panel... [18:33] astra-x, I don't think I've tried that, why would you want to? [18:33] Flumdahl: i think that's the problem... [18:33] underdev: use cat [18:33] it's too fast [18:33] cat /dev/sr0 > /tmp/whatever.iso [18:33] ok i'll have a look, just a sec [18:34] WHAT?!? [18:34] i have lucid in dell precision m4400, its blue tooth is not working, i have read somewhere that it will work with "HCIBTUSB" module, any one know where could i found it [18:34] thanks bipolar [18:34] underdev: cat works great for copying isos from a cd or dvd [18:34] jcrawford: np [18:34] that's true, i remember now, so getting rid of it should fix it? [18:34] not music or movies of course, just data [18:34] how to extend/resize ubuntu partition after installation?? [18:34] well, what do you know. [18:34] hu, 'elloo ? ^^' [18:34] Flumdahl: i think you'd have to update one version at a time to 8.04... then if you wanted to go to Lucid, then you could do the do-release-upgrade from 8.04 [18:34] will cat work with a bootable OS cd? [18:34] fallback: yea... you included /dev there, which is why it is looking in /dev/dev [18:34] ade2_: i just want a raid0 [18:35] ps3 linux killswitch harms US Air Force [18:35] with md [18:35] underdev: it will [18:35] ps3 linux killswitch harms US Air Force http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/05/how-removing-ps3-linux-hurts-the-air-force.ars [18:35] acerimmer: yeah, that's bullshit. why the hell do you think i got a ps3? [18:35] oops [18:35] sorry, no cussing [18:35] astra-x, then I wouldn't bother with trying to partition it. Make your file system directly on top of /dev/md0 or whatever. [18:35] underdev: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:35] i read somewhere it should be changed otherwise it would get in a pickle with drbd (should be ashamed that i'm not sure where i read it though) [18:35] ade2_: but i need swap, /boot etc [18:36] i cannot assign the md to anything [18:36] astra-x, are you creating the RAID0 at install time, or later? [18:36] underdev: If I understand correctly, cat /dev/[device] > file.iso works with anything. [18:36] fallback: what the heck is drbd? [18:36] install time [18:36] ps3 x 2000 = supercomputing fail ;-) [18:36] since it is raid0 [18:36] underdev: yes [18:36] help wanted, having trouble on my job computer ... [18:36] psusi: I owe you one, it worked! :D [18:36] bootable cd's (el torito) are a feature of the ISO image [18:36] folken_houhoubir: ask [18:36] drbd = raid 1 over tcp [18:36] HN : I have got a Soundcard "M-Audio 24-96" and in sound settings i got the "Digital Stereo duplex" set (i need the "Analog Stereo duplex") [18:36] i use it for a highly available nfs configuration [18:37] So i can work on it to compose [18:37] if server 1 dies, it starts nfs-kernel-server on node2 and keeps in sync with drbd [18:37] Does anyone know if an Apple external CD/DVD/Optical drive will work in Ubuntu, even just for reading? [18:37] but seriously psusi: thanks a million, you rule. :) [18:37] i don't think ubuntu 10.04 is ready for md installs [18:37] i guess i'll have to use something else [18:38] fallback: heh... yea... the volume showed up in /dev/mapper because lvm ran and found it in the initramfs using an unmodified lvm.conf probably.. then when you ran the lvm tools after boot up, they rejected all devices because of that filter rule [18:38] I'm trying to reduce the size of the windows partition and add it to ubuntu?? === russo is now known as russo|away [18:38] anybody know why root takes up 80% CPU under live Lucid via two processes both called "backend" <== real MYSTERY here ??? [18:38] is it posible?? [18:38] ManOnFire: yes [18:38] I can't beleive I've never thought to use cat to make an iso. I'll have to remember that. [18:38] anyone want to help install a mouse cursor theme? They don't apply properly it would seem. [18:38] ManOnFire: however you can't be using Ubuntu, when your going to be re sizing it, so yeah Live CD that will do it [18:38] aperson: sure [18:38] ManOnFire: you can't be using your install, when you want to re size it === russo|away is now known as russo [18:38] that seems entirely true; i copied back the lvm.conf.orig that i saved, rebooted and everythings back :) Phew!, was really getting nervous there [18:39] aperson: you install a .deb package.. right? what's the name of it? [18:39] fallback: now to figure out WTF /dev/dev is doing there and squash that bug, heh.. [18:39] ManOnFire: oh and when re sizing partitions, good idea to have the data backed up on them, that you want to keep, in the rather rare event that something goes wrong [18:39] /dev/dev is gone now ... [18:39] weird... why the hell do I have one? ;) [18:39] just did another reboot and it's gone [18:39] is there a specialist on pro soundcard settings here ? === [J] is now known as juju2143 [18:40] ManOnFire: Boot to the live cd, and use gparted to resize the partitions. Make sure you don't mount them until after they've been resized. [18:40] aperson: you installed a .deb package.. correct? what is the name of it? [18:40] onetinsoldier, feel free to give me a second to type [18:40] LOL, you got me, why do you? ;) === folken_houhoubir is now known as SoundCard_Troubl [18:40] aperson: ok :-) [18:41] onetinsoldier, .tar.gz, installed via dragging and dropping in gnome-appearance-properties. manually extracting the theme to /usr/share/icons is fruitless, as is ~/.icons/. the themes never fully apply, the main pointer never changes [18:41] where could i get wise advice on Linux Sound Settings ? [18:41] i made my volumes during install, did you do it manually? [18:41] try [18:41] onetinsoldier, and it makes no difference if compiz is on or off [18:41] aperson: for a mouse cursor package? don't think that'll work [18:41] onetinsoldier, it's a long time standard [18:42] onetinsoldier, theme even says it's installed and it asks if it wants to be applied [18:42] what u think about ubuntu 10.4 [18:42] onetinsoldier, dragging and dropping themes into gnome-appearance-properties *is* the standard way of installing themes [18:42] tuxx: it blows. [18:42] aperson: only thing I can think of is a permissions conflict === jackal_ is now known as jackal^ [18:43] anyway, psusi, thanks a million. have to dash, once again i owe you one :) [18:43] Radio, I can look into the file permissions, but I don't see how that'd affect it [18:43] aperson: this is for a mouse cursor theme? give me the link to download it. i can help with the .deb packaged mouse cursors you can install via synaptic/apt-get, ect. but a .tar.gz one is a little different [18:43] Radio, and it shouldn't matter the permissions if it's installed to ~/.icons/ [18:43] tuxx: more specifically, it's full of bugs that make it unusable for some purposes and some people. [18:44] fallback: you could say that... I hacked this server install myself... while it was still running 8.10 I think it was, I broke the mirror, formatted one disk for lvm, created an lv, formatted it, mounted it and manually installed 9.10 with debootstrap [18:44] onetinsoldier, try this for example. it really doesn't matter which ones you use, they all fail the same http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/73135-Obsidian.tar.bz2 [18:44] advantages of ubuntu 10.4 [18:44] onetinsoldier, Radio let it be know that I can't even switch between the default cursors [18:45] but no manual lvm.conf tweaking? [18:45] known even [18:45] fallback: nope [18:45] tuxx: none. I'm going to try to go back to 9.10. [18:45] aperson: See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459647 [18:45] i think 9.10 better than 10.4 [18:45] and your pv/vg/lvdisplay displays everything correctly? --> come to think of it some version skew in the config file perhaps? [18:46] aperson: you might not like the sound of this, sorry... but what you are asking is 'technically', off-topic. i can help with the .deb packaged mouse cursors you can install via synaptic/apt-get/aptitude, ect. for a .tar.ghz one, i'd need to download it and try and install it myself [18:46] yeah i think the problem is ubuntu 10.04's debian installer is buggy as shit [18:46] onetinsoldier, it is not off topic [18:46] * psusi will soon have maverick booting off rotational disks in < 10 seconds ;) [18:46] lvm breaks, md breaks [18:46] Pici, I've tried it with compiz on and off [18:46] I installed ubuntu with root on lvm back in 8.04 or 8.10, using the alternate install image, doesn't that work in 10.04? [18:46] * Salvia fuck [18:46] fallback: yea... [18:46] Salvia: Mind your language here. [18:46] aperson: I just extracted that theme to ~/.icons here and it worked fine, showed up in Customize on the pointer tab, I don't have compiz enabled though [18:47] Here's the deal. Even though 10.04 is the LTS release, you shouldn't expect it to work perfect right out of the gate. The point of it is that it will be supported longer down the road. If you need a stable release, that's what the previous LTS is for, and the reason that their lifespans overlap. [18:47] SwedeMike: it should... I'm running at home with root on lvm, but I didn't use the alternate installer... even had it migrate the running root lv over to the new ssd I got while the system was running [18:47] Pici, =* [18:47] is it possible to have 2 public keys for the same user? [18:48] seems ok with a fresh install though; perhaps i should upgrade to 10.04 and see what happens [18:48] aperson: i know how to download, compile, and install source code. but there have been times i've tried to help people in channel with doing that, and have been told it's off-topic... which is understandable. at least when the channel is very busy. just an fyi [18:48] aperson: try setting "Inherits=Your-Cursor-Theme" in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme [18:48] how should i install mysql in the latest ubuntu? sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 ? or just 'mysql-server' or what? [18:48] skyl: what type of keys ? [18:48] how can I add my windows partition as a boot option? [18:48] psusi: oki, I tend to tell that to people who have trouble with raid/lvm installs, having the alternate installer do the job is easier than trying to do it manually. [18:48] it was there in 9.10 [18:48] Radio, I'll give that a shot [18:48] onetinsoldier, I'm sorry for your circumstances, but that is not my case [18:48] mdel: U mean add it to grub?? [18:48] but after a fresh install of 10.04, i have no windows option [18:48] if i also get /dev/dev again, that'd prove it -more or less; am runnin 9.10 now [18:48] acerimmer: yes [18:48] mdel: Try running "sudo update-grub" and see if that adds it back in [18:48] mdel: should happen automatically [18:48] psusi: didnt [18:48] how do i find out what version of ardour is shipped with 10.04 ? [18:48] mdel: as root "sudo update-grub" [18:49] CogitoErgoSam: update-grub, or update-grub2 [18:49] !info ardour [18:49] aperson: just letting you know. anyway, if you want, i can try and install the cursor them [18:49] erUSUL, like when you keygen -t rsa (from memory) and so I have a pub/priv key pair for this user ... can I have two, so it the host doesn't want one it will try the other? [18:49] have to get going; i'll report back on the update, thanks again. [18:49] ardour (source: ardour): digital audio workstation (graphical gtk2 interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 1:2.8.6-1 (lucid), package size 5126 kB, installed size 14840 kB [18:49] aperson: hang on and it'll have a look... downloading [18:49] mdel: Doesn't matter which you use [18:49] onetinsoldier, no, I don't want to bother you any further if it's an issue [18:49] skyl: ssh keys ? #openssh [18:49] abstrakt: ^ see ubottu [18:50] * psusi goes back to optimizing ureadahead and e2defrag [18:50] is there a "pastebin" utility for gnome, like the one in KDE? [18:50] !version | abstrakt [18:50] abstrakt: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [18:50] hello , my ubnutu is slow with kernel 2.6.32-22 .. anyone knows issues about it or newer kernel to upgrade ? [18:50] Pici, Radio onetinsoldier thanks, I'll give your suggestions a shot [18:50] !pastebinit | rosco_y [18:50] rosco_y: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:50] aperson: make sure it's the exact name of the theme [18:50] aperson: are you using compiz? [18:50] aff nada ave [18:51] os gringo dominando heheheh [18:51] No matter what I try I cannot get do-release-manager to upgrade my hardy install to lucid, "do-release-upgrade -d", "do-release-upgrade --proposed" both fail. Prompt=lts is set in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades. System is apt-get dist-upgraded. Any ideas? [18:51] Radio, yes, I've tried installing/changing cursor themes with compiz both on and off [18:51] d [18:51] aperson: ok, i unpacked it. it'll take me some minutes to look things over [18:51] "error" message I get is "No new release found" [18:51] erUSUL, yeah well i'm on 9.10 right now [18:51] onetinsoldier, just drag and drop it into gnome-appearance-properties [18:51] so running that won't tell me what version(s) are in 10.04 [18:51] will it? [18:51] erUSUL, Thanks! [18:52] !info ardour > abstrakt [18:52] abstrakt: then read the bot output as llutz pointed out. [18:52] llutz, great thanks :) [18:52] that's what i wanted [18:53] hi [18:53] i edited /etc/default/grub so that grub won't show its menu and then ran update-grub2, but it still shows the menu - what am i still missing? [18:54] hello, can anyone help me with a Rocks installation? === root is now known as paraintj [18:54] rapha: You removed "splash", right? [18:54] aperson: i installed it... i'll be back in a minute [18:55] I'm trying to add the bnx2 driver to the initrd.lz of lucid, but its not actually being lodaed, it also has fw files associated with it. [18:55] CogitoErgoSam: that is something that grub hands to the linux kernel ... why would i remove it if i simply didnt want to see the grub menu? [18:56] rapha: "splash" doesn't influence the functioning of the kernel, just the visibility of the splash during boot [18:56] I'm having a problem with dkms not updating the VirtualBox vbox* modules when a new kernel is installed in ubuntu 10.04. Other modules are being updated, but the vbox modules are stuck at the old version. I preseed my ubuntu install, and the installer uses a slightly older kernel. Shouldn't dkms rebuild the kernel module automaticly? === root_ is now known as paraintj [18:56] CogitoErgoSam: whatever. it has nothing to do with the grub menu though, which is what i want to get rid of. [18:57] rapha: my bad, I misread. [18:58] When I try to install Rocks 5.3 (Rolled Tacos), i get stuck in the install boot, any help? [18:58] aperson: hello [18:58] CogitoErgoSam: so any idea how to get my /etc/default/grub settings into /boot/grub/grub.cfg, since "update-grub" doesn't seem to be doing it? I'd hate to edit grub.cfg manually... [18:58] any rtl experts out there? [18:59] Why I can't Connect to my Wireless [18:59] rapha: what setting did you edit in /etc/default/grub? [18:59] rapha: What change did you make in /etc/default/grub that isn't propagating to grub.cfg? [18:59] aperson: hello. still here? [18:59] hey [18:59] onetinsoldier, yep [18:59] !details | K|nG [18:59] K|nG: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[19:00] Is there a "pastebinit" utility for pastbin-ing graphics? (i.e., .png files) [19:00] no mant1s im using now Windows XP with Wireless connection [19:00] I'm trying to add the bnx2 driver to the initrd.lz of lucid, I've added the modules and re-generated the initrd.lz. But the module aren't being loaded and there is no nic available during boot. I'm trying to PXE boot a Ubuntu Live CD. [19:00] CogitoErgoSam: trism: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 / GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false / GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 [19:01] i did experiment with the three though - but no combination makes the menu go away [19:01] (or the timeout) [19:01] aperson: you see it's there. for instance. put your cursor over the edge of the xchat window where it changes to the 'resize' cursor [19:01] rapha: Just to keep things organized, can you do a pastebin of your /etc/default/grub and grub.cfg files together? So its easier to compare [19:01] aperson: do you get the obsidian resize cursor if you do that? [19:01] I have problem i can't connect to my Wireless i can see it but can't connect, I'm running Ubuntu versin 10.04 when i try to connect to Wireless show me Disconnect - Your now offline [19:01] CogitoErgoSam: sure, second [19:02] onetinsoldier, all but the main cursor change [19:02] heel [19:02] hi [19:02] K|ng: Try reinstalling your wireless drivers in system > hardware drivers [19:02] hi to all linux lovers [19:02] hello guys, can u help me?

[19:03] software-center not working [19:04] Has the JeOS`s vmbuilder a xen support ? [19:04] rtuio: what r u trying to install?

[19:04] airtonix: but taht's show to me My ISP [19:04] i again reinstall ubuntu [19:04] !enter > rtuio [19:04] rtuio, please see my private message [19:04] no error [19:04] but when i click do not connect to it :A [19:05] how can i install ubuntu without gdm?

Terminus, TerminusBold or TerminusVGA etc.. [19:05] onetinsoldier, it does not matter the packaging format [19:05] once after the installation, when i try to install amsn for example [19:06] nothing happen it don't even ask me for a password [19:06] How do i get Xchat menu back? [19:06] onetinsoldier, in any case, I do not expect you to spend any more time on this, it is not a showstopping issue [19:06] K|nG, unless you're prepared to mess about with hours of research and so forth, just use karmic instead. [19:06] perscitus, ctrl+f9 [19:06] airtonix: :S [19:06] perscitus, that or just right click>view>menu [19:06] Can anyone tell me where I can upload a graphic file to a pastebin server? [19:06] K|nG: airtonix is right, from my understanding ralink has alot of driver problems in lucid [19:06] ok. lucid does not run dkms_autoinstaller on boot, so dkms just sits there with it's thumb up it's ass and never upgrades the modules. wonderful. Is there some other way to handle this or do I have to add the init script back myself?

What was it? [19:12] onetinsoldier: aperson out of curiosity, did either of your check to see if the Obsidian directory was properly extracted to ~/.icons/Obsidian (it has the index.theme and cursor directories?) because I extracted it and it is working perfectly here (on lucid) [19:12] trism: yes [19:12] CogitoErgoSam: 20:09 < trism> rapha: apparently, grub2 disables your ability to hide the menu if you have more than one os; [19:12] guys how can i make a folder into a virtual zip file or iso or something?

[19:24] aperson: great... good thinking [19:24] acidchild: Do you mind if I ask why telling it that you don't have a mouse is important? What happens if you don't tell it that?

I have my Sony Viao lappy hooked up to my TV via HDMI. When I first boot in everything looks great, graphics etc. But if I like full screen a video sometimes when I resize again it seems like the picture quality just got a little worse. It's not horrible by any means it's totally livable but it's not HD. Videos look fine but Gnome just looks like someone took a slight blur b [19:28] rush to it. [19:28] there's a cfg file [19:28] probably grub2?

[19:31] fine wait [19:31] swapy: the problem is that the bits are not coming my way. [19:32] swapy, everything seems to run like butter, it's wonderful. I had problems with HDMI on some of the pre-release versions but everything seems fixed now. Only thing is that after some time it seems like my desktop just get's slighty distorted. I notice it mostly in text, like reading a website the text just dosen't ... pop it looks a little off maybe slightly fuzzy. like I said it's not really bad just kinda annoying [19:32] anyone knows where I can find the code for the android execution environment that was demoed last year? has it progressed since then? I only found the blueprints [19:32] abuayyoub, seems that you havent installed graphic drivers properly or not at all installed [19:32] Abuayyoub: same in all browsers?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:50] dancek: How much RAM? 32bit or 64bit? [19:50] ok [19:50] sebsebseb, 4GB, 64bit (core 2 duo) [19:50] Tflgen: you may hit the mark in bios disabling some hardware to make the system simpler [19:50] GeekSquid: I'm trying to use a script that assumes that GNOME is installed in /opt/gnome, but I have nothing in my /opt dir [19:50] what are we taking about [19:51] red: there's a setting to show/no show icon names under "Appearance" if i'm not mistaken. [19:51] ActionParsnip: have you ever heard of this issue? [19:51] so why are stuff like gnustep and etoile not updated in ubuntu repositories? [19:51] ubottu: thanks [19:51] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [19:51] dancek: and you downloaded the AMD 64bit ISO? [19:51] Rosco_y: its installed all throughout / [19:51] GeekSquid: the instructions are on http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments [19:51] sebsebseb, yes, I did [19:51] dancek: Should be able to install from that, maybe the pshyical CD is bad [19:51] rosco_y: assume gnome is in /usr/share/gnome or /etc/gnome [19:51] like i select an item in the menu but nothing happens..... [19:52] sebsebseb, it's a macbook pro if that matters. I did get windows install cd and arch linux usb to boot [19:52] GeekSquid: Thanks! [19:52] Rosco_y: what sort of data does it expect /opt/gnome to be? A file? A folder? [19:52] what is the proper way to run fsck? [19:52] sebsebseb, well yeah, i guess the dvd is faulty [19:52] ActionParsnip: i'll try, but Aptana for instance is the best I could fine for what I need, I think it's not fair if i'm trying to left Windows.. I could even work with Aptana in Windows and probably I won't get this kind of problems [19:52] dancek: oh not so sure about Macs and Ubuntu, however Ubuntu isn't really made for a Mac [19:52] Rabidweezle: a good way is from livecd [19:52] i was just wondering if there was a known bug or something [19:52] dancek: however you can get it working on one [19:52] I need to check / for errors [19:52] Juanca: not heard of it [19:53] ActionParsnip: I'm not really sure, I'm getting my info from http://www.mono-project.com/Parallel_Mono_Environments (under the "Setting up a Build Environment" section) [19:53] Hey [19:53] dancek: actsaullly on an Intel based Mac, you should be alright yeah [19:53] sebsebseb, yeah, well, thanks :) [19:53] ActionParsnip: It's and IDE... excuse that personal complain, I just don't want to get discouraged again with Linux [19:53] dancek: Have you used a Linux distro before? If not well Arch isn't for newbies. Ubuntu, Mandriva, PC Linux OS, and so on are though [19:54] hello, When I try wget www.google.com I get forbidden 403. This has started just after upgrading to 10.04. sorry to repeat but this annoying me [19:54] !ide | juanca [19:54] juanca: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [19:54] jamil_1: I tried that, and it worked fine, perhaps reinstall wget, IDK [19:54] Jamil_1: disable the repo then, you can re-enable on the other side [19:55] juanca, gvim = win :) [19:55] juanca, my vote is for either gvim or netbeans [19:55] sebsebseb, I've used debian since around 2003 and a bunch of other distros from time to time so I'll manage :P [19:55] dancek: Debian is nice as well [19:55] dancek: and Fedora when it installs [19:56] ActionParsnip: didn't get you [19:56] Jamil_1: you are having a problem with one of your repos. Disa le it in software sources then try again [19:56] Disable* [19:57] it seems it was gfx drivers that were causing the system to freeze [19:57] Sometimes I can't click on anything with my mouse. Only solution I found was ctrl-alt-backspace to get it working again. Any ideas? [19:57] ActionParsnip: yeh... I haven't tried just a couple of them... maybe netbeans... I don't want something as basic as gedit even though I like it... I need it for HTML too and many good IDEs seems to look down on it [19:58] ActionParsnip: could it be due to the insane number of monitors hooked up? [19:58] juanca, it might be helpful to run the system monitor, and see if your system is getting overloaded for some reason... === Husaini is now known as Guest64942 [19:58] hi [19:58] hi everyone - can anyone help me with a wi-fi activation on my hardy 8.04 server, please? when I try iwconfig wlan0 essid it returns error for wifi request "Set ESSID" (8B1A): and set failed on wlan0: invalid argument [19:58] where can i find ebook of core java [19:58] !hi |ichigo1 [19:58] ichigo1: Hi!

[20:05] nze: I suppose xming will work [20:05] Nze: if you run nautilus you will see the full desktop [20:05] anyone knows how to stop from being created a wlan0 interface when i load ath5k module ?

[20:07] Nze: it gives an x server to windows boxes for the apps to stick. Its not needed for linux desktop clients [20:07] i have the ethernet cable plugged in and lan working fine and i want to share the connection, whats the easiest click and go way? [20:07] nze: and you want a gnome session running through it ? [20:08] ActionParsnip: sorry, i dont quite follow you, nautilus is more of a file manager, isnt it?

[20:10] Rmorgan: parts have 1 year warranty usually so return it as DOA [20:10] yea [20:10] jamil_1: what is xming going to do if i ssh from a linux desktop into another linux server? [20:10] Rmorgan, just a side point. Lots of people worry about CPU heat and fan motor speed and other stuff. But, have you opened up the literal box to see if there is dust on all of the components. Some people are heavy cigarette smokers and some people like to put the computer in the kitchen which is a breading ground for dust and grease, etc. Consider that first. [20:10] manster: it is the first two paragraphs [20:10] erUSUL, i tried with Firestarter [20:10] Curly_Q: its a brand new ion board [20:10] no dice [20:11] ActionParsnip: the board? [20:11] manster: it is called the 9.10 method [20:11] i need to be able to name the wireless network [20:11] Rmorgan: the ram [20:11] and see it on another laptop running w7 [20:11] manster: quote « When logged into your computer right click on the network indicator in the top right hand corner, click on "Edit Connections..." select "Auto Eth0" and click "Edit..." then go to the "IPv4 Settings" tab and next to "Method:" select the drop down box and select the option that says "Shared to other computers". » [20:11] erUSUL: it is pci card d-link 520 [20:11] the ram is reclaimed from old optiplexes not bought so i will have to buy some [20:11] aperson: hello... if you're still here. i got it... i finally got it!

[20:12] Rmorgan, keep also in mind that RAM is only as good as the lowest value of a Module if you have different sizes. [20:12] i would but its the only "desktop" i have i own 4 laptops [20:12] 2 x 512 pc4200 [20:12] erle-, the problem is that when i try to join the wireless network on the hosting laptop, it spins forever and fails [20:12] hi, during updating to 10.04 via the GUI update tool, my system froze and i had to reboot it hard (sysrq). [20:13] Rmorgan: maybe a local shop has a ram tester you could run it in [20:13] i now ran dpkg --configure -a, anything else I should do [20:13] ? [20:13] manster: you have to edit the interface that is connected to internet not the one the other computer is pluggerd into [20:13] ActionParsnip: nope, disconnecting the monitors didn't help. still same problem [20:13] how do i change files without changing the file names? [20:13] i need more mem really anyway i want to use it for xbmc aswell [20:13] Jansch: sudo apt-get -f install [20:13] software-center don't ask for admin password [20:13] is that normal ?

[20:14] i dont wanna have to send it back and wait even longer [20:14] so what to do ? [20:14] Hi, I have a kinda strange problem. For some reason all text in lucid seems a bit blury. Anyone else have this problem. I am using it over HDMI on my laptop it looks fine but on the tv it looks blury [20:14] ActionParsnip: [20:14] Rmorgan: I'm looking at an ion too. They is sweet [20:14] Hi, I've got a touchpanel where xinput -test gives results like "motion a[0]=42 a[1]=42 a[2]=485 a[3]=241". I.e. the corrdinate infromation is in [2] and a[3].

Can anybody be so nice with an i386 architecture convert me this pachage via alien? http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pinedit would be very nice! [20:15] Deposito: change your mount options [20:15] aperson: roger.. i finally got it.. total theme now here. it's very nice if you like black :-) [20:15] anything else i have to do, like running some after-upgrade-scripts? [20:15] abuayyoub, that's just caused by the way tvs work [20:15] ActionParsnip: sure are i've been umming and ahhhing about it for ages and finally bit the bullet and dont want to wait any longer i was like a kid at xmas when the postie got here with it [20:15] deposito: why don't you do this from ubuntu? [20:15] ActionParsnip: and i tried using the usb creator and unetbootin.usb startup disc gave a kernel image not found error. the unetbootin hung at a grey screen (lilo?) with nothing on it [20:15] harjot: no you have to add a dot in fron of the filename to make it hidden [20:15] salut salut [20:15] everybody i know has an amd64... and alien cant force architecture [20:15] what to do [20:15] !it|liftess [20:15] Jansch: seems ok then. Check for updates as normal.

Can anyone tell how to make gnome use keyboard layout defined in Xorg's config file instead of it's owns (that can be selected via System->Settings->Keyboard)? [20:15] onetinsoldier, oh, I do: http://i.imgur.com/6PlYM.png [20:15] ActionParsnip: thanks then [20:16] harjot: not possible [20:16] sure? [20:16] when i try to run software-center [20:16] harjot: yes [20:16] Rmorgan, even if you used that new board without a fan it will be OK. The fan motor is just a safety feature. Don't forget that it is very important to NEVER keep the cover of the computer off. The fan is totally useless in that case. Always keep the cover of the computer on. Also keep the slots in the back on as well. [20:16] alone [20:16] when i try to install problem [20:16] erUSUL: :~ ty [20:16] KingSeta: what package? (I'm on a bus) [20:16] ActionParsnip, how? i mean change the options of the mount command o something else? i use this command to mount: mount -t cifs -o ip=192.168.1.11,username=dp2/caja,noserverino,noperm,rw //ip/c$ /home/deposito/farmatronic/ [20:16] nothing happen i can't understand [20:16] erUSUL: not even with another program?

[20:16] dancek works nicely with windows 7. It's an HDTV over HDMI it should look alot nicer [20:16] Hm, anyone with xorg and/or udev knowledge? I've got a touchpanel where xinput -test gives results like "motion a[0]=42 a[1]=42 a[2]=485 a[3]=241". I.e. the corrdinate infromation is in [2] and a[3]. How do I tell that evdev? (evdev is currently putting the cursor allways in the upper left corner - which would correspond to the a[0]=42 and a[1]=42...) [20:16] erUSUL: :) live & learn [20:17] i messed up my pendrive, i now can't mount it, i can't fdisk to it, can some one help me? this is dmesg output http://pastebin.com/1SUtMPZP [20:17] Curly_q: unless you use water ;) [20:17] jrib: xD pinedit i need (Emilia Pinball table editor) [20:17] hey, does anyone know how to use gtk window decorator (metacity) with compiz? [20:17] instead of emerald [20:17] Metrahla: good luck, i've been fighting with simular related issue all day. [20:17] abuayyoub, well then what resolution are you outputting to the tv? [20:17] theres no amd64, and no deb... so anybody has to help me [20:17] my X wont start though in my case :-) [20:17] Deposito: you didn't supply a password [20:17] every computer needs a little water sometimes === niko is now known as nikoEvil [20:17] ActionParsnip, water cooling is great but not all use that. [20:18] abuayyoub, it might just be that the resolution isn't the native one and the HDTV's scaler makes everything blurry [20:18] is there a firefox channel? how do I make the audio work in firefox flash? [20:18] thanks - works fine [20:18] What's a good cmdline tool for recording audio from the mic? preferably it would write out an mp3. [20:18] ActionParsnip: have latest bios.....it's a supermicro server board [20:18] ActionParsnip, when i execute that command its appear a prompt asking me the pass. :D [20:18] Is there any special channels about GNOME or Xorg? [20:18] aperson: your dock/bar in the screenshot? nice [20:18] :) [20:18] !virtualbox [20:18] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [20:18] The power supply fan motor is totally useless without the computer cover on. [20:18] nevermind i'm rtarded, metacity --repalce [20:18] Curly_q: true but the case is not important then ;) [20:18] kjbbb: gtk-w-d is a decorator for compiz and metacity is a window manager (which would replace compiz). You can start gtk-w-d with 'gtk-window-decorator --replace'. If you need more help, please join #compiz [20:18] socram: what happens if you as root do: fdisk -l /dev/sdb (that -L but lower case) [20:18] Tflgen: check the model to see if linux likes it [20:18] crazydiamond: well gnome has a bunch of channels on irc.gnome.org [20:19] thanx [20:19] erUSUL, setting my lan's ip4 mode to "shared" stops it from working [20:19] erUSUL, but i understand your point [20:19] aperson: you know i meant the Obsidian x cursor theme though.. right? i figured it out now... [20:19] erUSUL, just not sure why it stops working [20:19] erUSUL, setting my lan's ip4 mode to "shared" stops it from working [20:19] erUSUL, just not sure why it stops working [20:19] ActionParsnip, also true because if the cover is off, then there is no need for a fan motor. [20:19] manster: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:19] Deposito: I see, does the account have write access to the data? [20:19] am i still logged in? [20:19] soreau: thank you, i see now. [20:19] onetinsoldier, yeah, sure, go on [20:19] ActionParsnip, yes, caja its admin in the xp machine. [20:19] Manster: seems so [20:19] bastidrazor: works fine - thank you [20:19] manster: the one you have to set to shared is the one that is facing internet. not the one that is connected to lan [20:19] CaneToad: no output [20:19] The computer cover being on all of the time just makes the components warmer. That is why the fan is there. [20:20] aperson: ok, hang on. i'm trying to set it up so that it isn't a hack on the core.theme [20:20] erUSUL: network: intersil corp. prism 2.5 rev01 --- ethernet: intel 82540EM gigabit ethernet card ver02 - is it right for a d-link 520 wi-fi, what do you think? [20:20] aperson: i'll need a few minutes [20:20] erUSUL, so i create a new wireless connection with the ip4 mode set to shared? [20:20] onetinsoldier, take as much time as you care to [20:20] then join it? -sorry to flood [20:21] is there a firefox channel? how do I make the audio work in firefox flash? [20:21] lord_koala: i was jusrt doing a little research... i think that what is faliling is that you need the firmware for the card [20:21] lord_koala: not sure how to get it [20:21] I don't have flash installed but flash still works even after restarting firefox browser. Is this html5? Strange because youtube said I needed a plugin so I installed flashplugin-nonfree and restarted the browser. Then, I removed flash but all flash stuff still works (even after restarting the browser) [20:21] mophead: try /join #firefox [20:21] I cant install Digsby, a windows program through wine. Theis is the error message I got: The file '/home/aaron/Downloads/digsby_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. This didnt happen in Karmic. [20:21] mophead: you should iniclude your ubuntu version in your question [20:21] there's nobody in #firefox so I figure it's fake [20:22] jrib: I just updated to Lynx, which is when the sound stopped working [20:22] manster: no set the wirelles interface you are already using to connect to internet as shared [20:22] How could i mount a shared folder with all permissons? i mean rwx for all. Thanks. [20:22] Good day. I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 and my OS is mute [20:22] erUSUL: firmware.. can I get something going if I plug my ethernet cable first and get the firmware.. [20:22] how do i find info of a hidden pid? [20:22] Another point to remember is that when a computer motherboard was manufactured, it was wave soldered at high temperatures. Much hotter than what the computer runs at. [20:22] Or a pid number? [20:22] manster: then if you plug a computer to you computer via a wired cable it will be able to connect to internet via your wireless [20:22] hey guys :) i have kind of a noob question... I went into update manager and it told me there was a new version of ubuntu out, so I clicked to update. Little did I know that it was in fact the netbook remix. Now I'm stuck with this UI that I don't like and don't know how to use and I just want to get good ol' gnome back. Anyone know how I can do this? [20:22] How do i find info about a pid number [20:22] erUSUL, my internet comes in through my ethernet cord and i want to share it with my wireless card, i'm not sure i explained well [20:22] harjot: what is a "hidden pid"? [20:23] Curly_Q: but far from the continious temps that it is exposed to while running ;) [20:23] deposito: cifs or nfs [20:23] jrib: i meant normal pid number [20:23] jrib: just a pid number [20:23] jmcantrell, cifs [20:23] Curly_Q, if you knew something about electronics, you'd know that it's easy to blow up components when soldering [20:23] I cant install Digsby, a windows program through wine. Theis is the error message I got: The file '/home/aaron/Downloads/digsby_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. This didnt happen in Karmic. [20:23] harjot: use top, ps, or system monitor in your menu [20:23] Acidchild, true. An ongoing temp process will affect the overall change in components. [20:23] ok [20:23] Curly_Q: a lot of soldering is done sonically these days [20:24] jrib: but this pid doesnt show up but its there [20:24] jrib: its hidden [20:24] ps -ef | grep [20:24] I have disabled all repos but still I am getting error on wget www.google.com 403 Forbidden [20:24] Dancek, true. [20:24] jamil_1: now i see what you meant. but i think i don't really want to start the Xserver, there's one running on the ssh server and one on my desktop, i'd just like to be presented with the log in screen, if you know what i mean [20:24] Curly_Q: you plast 99% of them semi conductors with 90*C or more for more than a few mili seconds they will fry [20:24] The modern method is surface mount technology. [20:24] Which version of gcc is used to build the kernel? [20:24] :) [20:24] harjot: you are going to have to be more specific... [20:24] I just installed 10.04 using wubi inside of windows 7... started doing the updates and it wants to update GRUB ... should I let it or will this kill my windows boot [20:24] I want to build nvidia drivers, but it says "a different version of gcc was used to build the kernel". [20:24] jamil_1: Can you resolve any addresses with dig? [20:24] I am using lucid. [20:25] jrib: if im searching for rootkits etc... [20:25] wantnviia: use System -> administration -> Hardware Drivers [20:25] Pici: dig ? [20:25] jrib: and i use the unhide program [20:25] Lots of semiconductors were manufactured with very high temps as well. [20:25] jamil_1: dig google.com [20:25] donavan01: SHOULDN'T hurt anthing [20:25] acidchild: my cpu and gpu regularly get over 90*C, is that bad? [20:25] jrib: then it tells me there are some pids that are not normally listed but are running [20:25] jami [20:25] LzrdKing: HAHA HELL YAH [20:25] I cant install Digsby, a windows program through wine. Theis is the error message I got: The file '/home/aaron/Downloads/digsby_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. This didnt happen in Karmic. [20:25] damn dude, clean your computer you dirty cild. [20:25] jrib: how do i find out what is executing it etc.. [20:26] Pici: It seems so [20:26] donavan01: in the wubi config, the first menu you see is actually a windows menu. Choose ubuntu and you'll see the grub menu [20:26] jrib: I don't have such an entry. [20:26] jrib: what is the name of the binary behind it? [20:26] anybody else having sound problems in firefox since updating? [20:26] aaron11: Right click on the file, and click properties. Then go to "Permissions" and check the "executable" box. Click OK then try it again. [20:26] jmcantrell, do you know how? [20:26] folks, quick question: anyone know the terminal command to get rid of netbook remix and restore plain vanilla ubuntu? [20:26] acidchild: it is clean, i just had to swap out the mobo because the gpu died [20:26] ok acerimmer I thought the second boot selector was grub but I didnt know if the first one had any link to it or what ... thanks for the info [20:26] join/ #ubuntu-fr [20:26] jmcknight, do you know how? [20:27] jamil_1: Can you access google.com using a browser? [20:27] jrib: you can find out by moving the link with the mouse to the desktop and then editing the link. [20:27] what do i need to get to be able to get the KDE option under session on login to work? [20:27] Pici: yp [20:27] e1nh4nd3r: Oh, Thanks man [20:27] donavan01: BUT back up all essential data first. - and consider dual booting. much more stable than wubi [20:27] aaron11: No problem. [20:27] e1nh4nd3r: How can I repay uoi === zac is now known as Guest55464 [20:27] *you [20:27] acidchild: how hot can a cpu go before it'll be a problem? [20:27] aaron11: None needed. :) Thanks. [20:28] anyone know where I should go for questions about rhythmbox? [20:28] so, any way to get presented with that login-screen (select you session..) when i'm logging in through ssh? [20:28] jamil_1: Is it just google that you're having a problem with? Or other websites too? Do you use a proxy to access the internet? [20:28] LzrdKing, testing a component by touching it is baseless. What we consider hot or warm is relative according to manufacturers specifications. [20:28] Hey my gnome won't start it looks different and when I log in it gives me the brown ubuntu loading and then wants me to login again I'm on 9.10 [20:28] LzrdKing: I'd say that is more a hardware question -- so ##hardware would fit [20:28] My laptop spends about 2-5 minutes thrashing the hard disk before I see my desktop. This happens between when X starts and when Nautilus is ready to use. What can I do to figure out what's causing the thrashing? [20:29] I did xinit from vnc awhile ago and I think that messed it up [20:29] please, anyone tell why ubuntu don't let me change file permissions in ntfs partition [20:29] all changes pop right back with the default value [20:29] Pici: it is problematic for all the websites I try. I suspect it is upgrade to 10.04 that has caused the problem because before that it was working fine [20:29] LzrdKing, you might want to google your processor's specifications, there's a temperature that it's rated for [20:29] Perhaps I should mention that this has been the same installation of Ubuntu for the past 3 years, upgraded from dapper or edgy [20:29] nze: I am not sure about it but have you tried to ssh into the server and then executing /etc/gdm/Xsession ? [20:29] Jesse^ try another hard drive to see if your hard drive is defective. [20:29] Curly_Q: i don't test if my cpu is 90*C by touching it! i've already been burned doing that [20:30] lol [20:30] when using sudo chmod 777 ./ there is no change [20:30] and no erros [20:30] Curly_Q: If I create another user account and login as that user, I can get in within a few seconds [20:30] any ideas ? [20:30] Hey my gnome won't start it looks different and when I log in it gives me the brown ubuntu loading and then wants me to login again I'm on 9.10 [20:30] hello [20:30] antitoxic: I think the linux file permissions utilities are made to work on file systems that use the same security model as ext2 and so on.. ntfs doesn't [20:31] antitoxic: may be you want to do "sudo chmod -R 777 ./" [20:31] LzrdKing, is this a laptop or desktop? [20:31] i was wodering, for windows xp and vista, you can make a memory stick into RAM, i was wondering if i could do the same thing with ubuntu? [20:31] Curly_Q: laptop [20:31] jamil_1: yes, it opens a small empty window that just sits there and does nothing. i did wait quite a bit, but no reaction. forwarding of other gui apps works (eg xeyes) [20:31] gps23, the same didnt work [20:31] antitoxic, the permissions are probably set on mount and can't be changed [20:31] please where is the localhost on my machine ? [20:31] Slart, i see.... any solutions ? [20:31] antitoxic: ntfs has a more granular permission thingy compared to the regular file permissions in linux (without selinux and such) [20:31] super quick question, people: anyone know what apt-get command I need to get rid of netbook remix and just get regular lucid? [20:31] to add an php file [20:32] jonaz_ apt-get install ubuntu-desktop I believe [20:32] antitoxic: hmm.. not really.. I'm not sure if there are any tools to set permissions specifically on ntfs.. ntfsprogs might have something.. [20:32] can i disable the autohinting of one particular font when it is in bold ? if so how ? [20:32] jamil_1: but do i really want to start X? i mean, basically i just want it to draw a window on my local x-server [20:32] thanks jef91 [20:32] hello? [20:32] nakw, if you've got apache et al installed, you're probably serving stuff from /var/www [20:32] my internet comes in through my ethernet cord and i want to share it with my wireless card - I managed to get the recieving laptop to connect to the wireless network i created and it is given an ip adress but the it does not connect to the internet [20:32] LzrdKing, please make sure that your fan motor is not blocked by papers and stuff. Many people put paper on top of the keyboard and so. Also I in some cases use a cookie grill to sit on to allow the heat dispersion. [20:32] Slart, everything is owned by root and i have no space on the ext3, i run my apache on the ntfs [20:32] does ubuntu mind being installed from external cd drive? [20:32] Does the Disk Utility have the ability to check and repair errors on NTFS partitions? [20:32] hellpplease: It's not ram, it's a swap file [20:32] and it always comes up with permission erros [20:32] dancek: thanks a lot [20:33] gavagai: nope [20:33] apache is installed and works fine [20:33] jef91: any idea if I need to run a command to get rid of netbook remix first? [20:33] ill wait till some one is ready to answer [20:33] Slart, thanks [20:33] Never let a laptop run while the lid or cover closed. Bad choice. [20:33] erUSUL, it half works, the computer i want to connect to is now networked with the sharing computer but the internet is not working in the recieving end [20:33] hellpplease: It's not RAM, it's a swap file [20:34] why does ubuntu open mp3s in movie player and how can I change this? [20:34] Hello, I can't seem to lower my laptop screen brightness - the acpi options passed to GRUB at boot time don't seem to work. I just keep getting ACPI: Failed to switch the brightness when I use the key combination. [20:34] Putting a laptop on a bed is bad. No heat dispersion. [20:34] Any ideas? [20:35] What is the widget I add to the panel to let me control the volumn? [20:35] hellpplease: here's a place where they talk about such an idea http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/19185/ [20:35] syme: I think movie player is the default audio player on a new install.. have you installed something else you want to use instead? [20:35] gridbag: Right click the panel, scroll down and look for the widget with the loudspeaker icon. [20:36] jef91: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop didn't work. it says it's "already the newest version". It seems I need to remove the netbook remix package, but I have no idea what the package is called [20:36] antitoxic, see this for example (first google hit for "ntfs mount permissions") http://opensuse.swerdna.org/susentfs.html [20:36] jonaz_ Check synaptic [20:36] gridbag: Hang on ... it doesn't show up on mine either. [20:36] Curly_Q: the fan is not blocked, i actually pulled out a nice clump of dust when i took off the heat sink when i replaced the mobo; it's in a cabinet but the bottom is propped up and i've been keeping the doors open; i've also forced the fan to stay on high speed all the time; it just gets hot when streaming video [20:36] okay, will look through there (if I can find out how to get there in this UI) [20:37] dancek, i'm trying now : ntfs-config [20:37] gridbag: It's part of the Notification Area, I think. [20:37] but there was no errors [20:37] before the 10.04 upgrade [20:37] slart: I think I found a forum post that fixed the issue [20:37] LzrdKing, streaming video uses up a lot of CPU though. That is not unusual. [20:37] anyone know where to go for questions about ipod touch and rhythmbox? [20:37] thanks jessie^ [20:37] jesse^* [20:37] Curly_Q: so its ok to be 90*C then? [20:37] Sure. [20:38] deh, work's [20:38] Use the computer in a cool room. That will help. [20:38] syme: you can just right-click on a mp3-file and select "properties".. there you have a "open with" tab [20:38] erUSUL: I think the problem is in my network configuration /etc/network/interfaces I only see eth0 and lo over there.. how can I add wlan0 to make it work? [20:38] antitoxic, i'm guessing the default mount options have changed. i'm not even on ubuntu so can't check :) [20:38] Curly_Q: i'm probably going to get rid of the cabinet altogether once we get a new tv, since the tv will hang on the wall [20:38] gridbag: Did it work for you? I removed mine and added it back, it is the Notification Area. [20:38] hellpplease: sure, btw did you see this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=395435 [20:38] ok i'll be digging into this mistery [20:39] LzrdKing, putting a computer in a cabinet is not the best thing. There is restricted ventilation. [20:39] Slart: yeah, but I wanted it to open in rhythmbox automatically... I found out how to fix it though, thanks [20:39] Hmm... going to reboot again to see what other options I can try. [20:39] syme: you're welcome [20:39] Will try acpi=off if nothing else works. [20:39] I was hoping someone could help me. I have a fresh install of Lucid and everything is perfect, however, it seems that text renders a little fuzzy. I have ATI Radeon on X64 any ideas? [20:39] is syncing album art with an ipod touch included in lucid? [20:40] Unless the cabinet is used for sound proofing. There should be a large ventilation back or no back to the cabinet for that. [20:40] OH! when we drywalled our living room, we should have made the half-wall bewtween the kitchen and living room cabinets, since the tv will be in that corner, and it'd be a great place to put the htpc, wii, etc. too late now! :( [20:40] !ot | LzrdKing, Curly_Q [20:40] LzrdKing, Curly_Q: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [20:40] Never put a TV in a non-ventilated box or cabinet. [20:40] Curly_Q: i was going to get 200mm fans for ventilation, but i thikn it'll just end up on a shelf [20:41] abuayyoub, Did you try System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts ? [20:41] abuayyoub: have you tried toying with system > preferences > appearance > fonts? [20:41] Is there like a shortcut or something to open gnome-do errr..? [20:41] aperson: ok, done. if you want to know how to make it so you can select it with 'sudo update-alternatives --config x-theme-cursor', i think i've got it [20:41] sebsebseb, btw i did cmp on the .iso and the dvd device and they match so the dvd isn't faulty either... guess i'm on my own then :P [20:41] ninja'd [20:41] Curly_Q: we're being admonished [20:41] !install | dancek [20:41] dancek: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[20:42] abuayyoub, you didn't answer my question on which resolution you're outputting to the tv [20:42] Curly_Q: then it is perfect for #ubuntu-offtopic , this here is a support channel [20:42] Curly_Q: don't involve me in this.. fans and cabinets can go play in ##hardware if you ask me =) [20:42] sebsebseb, true, i guess i'll just debootstrap it from something else etc [20:42] lol [20:43] greets! prolly trivial...

[20:45] onetinsoldier, all ears [20:45] dancek: ok previous version of Ubuntu or another Linux distro, I guess [20:45] LzrdKing, the main point is that the fan speed increases whether in Ubuntu or Windows with the increase of CPU usage. It is just a preventive measure to stop burnout. [20:45] aperson: ok, it requires several steps [20:45] i want flash , please! [20:45] aperson: give me just one moment [20:45] dancek: you do reolize that Ubuntu isn't Linux right? I mean the only Linux distro [20:45] onetinsoldier, want to just pastebin the whole thing?

I ran the usb, but messed up ALL of the partitions. SO I loaded ubuntu through a DIFFERENT usb and managed to fix the computer harddrive. But the other usb won't mount, and it isn't reading. I'm on my vista machine, does anybody know how to format this? It won't format, no matter what it is that I try to do...any ideas? [20:49] dancek: yes? [20:49] jonaz_, Reinstall?

[20:52] Aperture, give it to me ~ or try a dd wipe ~^^b [20:52] no not amazon [20:52] ok. [20:52] aperson: ok, one more file to edit... cd /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives and then open up this file in an editor(vim) --> x-cursor-theme [20:52] wildbat000: what is a dd wipe? [20:52] i will try it captainkirk [20:52] captiantrek [20:52] jonaz_, I bet there is .. But I kinda like formatting/reinstalling, things get better every time :) [20:53] George_e: libpanel-applet2-dev maybe? [20:53] onetinsoldier, ok [20:53] Aperture: you could try wiping the entire device. unplug it from your computer, reconnect it, use dmesg to confirm you have the right device (/dev/sdb or whatever).. try opening again in gparted.. if still no luck, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M [20:53] oCean: Thanks. I'll check that. [20:53] aperson: in there, i just added one for Obsidian.. i copy and pasted another line to make one for Obsidian [20:53] dancek: ok sometimes what happens is, a computer doesn't work with Ubuntu [20:53] that is doing it captaintrek thanks [20:53] Aperture,this command will wipe your disk sdx with zeros : sudo dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/sdx bs=512 [20:53] dancek: however it does with another distro :) [20:53] Whats the difference between Google Chrome and Chromium? [20:53] yup [20:53] ryann: is there also a way to do this on vista? [20:53] aperson: and i put '50' under it [20:54] fredfall: not that much [20:54] costre: yeah, I mean that would obviously work, as would throwing my laptop in a trash can and buying a new one. But, it's just one stupid package! Do you (or anyone else) have any idea what that package might be? [20:54] onetinsoldier, ok, after that, I'm assuming to run update-alternatives [20:54] fredfall: Chromium is open source, where as Chrome is closed source and based on it === issyl0 is now known as Evilissyl0 [20:54] aperson: yes.. don't forget. you'll need to restart X [20:54] sebsebseb: What would you prefer? [20:54] wildbat000: what is the 'bs' command, why the size '512'? [20:54] fredfall: Chromium is open source, Chrome isn't. Chromium is sort of a testbed for Chrome. [20:55] cellofellow: Ok, thanks! [20:55] fredfall: personally I don't like Chromium or Chrome much, since Mozilla Firefox :) however out of the two I would much rather use Chromeium than Chrome [20:55] I'm using Ubuntu lucid and some programs are hanging and making the system feel like I'm in a bad virtual machine... can System Monitor help me find something wrong with the memory management? [20:55] sebsebseb: OK [20:55] Aperture, bs is block size ~ just write 512 bytes at a time === Evilissyl0 is now known as issyl0 [20:55] So ... I somehow managed to 'fix' my brightness problem by effectively doing nothing. Though I suspect through a long list of changes I probably fixed it by turning off nomodeset acpi_backlight=vendor in the default grub options. [20:55] sebsebseb: What do you use? [20:56] juanca: System Monitor is a resource hog, which is kind of funny. I like htop myself. [20:56] Is there any way to set a default brightness level at boot time? [20:56] fredfall: Firerfox mainly, but sometimes other browsers even such as Konqueror and sometimes even Epiphany or Galeon [20:56] in grub2, in the menu, after you press "e", what key do you press to save and quit the editor again? it's not documented in the german translation :-/ [20:56] wildbat000: ah, I see. So i would type sudo dd of=/dev/zero if=/dev/sdx bs=51....how would it know which drive to do that to? [20:56] fredfall: try yourself and find out what you like better [20:56] Ryann, with that process, is the data recoverable? [20:56] Ok [20:56] Aperture, sudo fdisk -l [20:56] hi i upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 now i lost my grub plz plz help [20:57] fredfall: Firefox is a great one to support for various reasons :) [20:57] so i have a laptop, its an old compaq presario 700, it has a 1ghz processor, and 256 onboard ram, what linux should i put on it thats very low key, arch? [20:57] cellofellow: ironic, but anyway, with that info do you know how to detect something wrong? [20:57] wildbat000: wait, which disk would that be formatting? [20:57] jonaz_: you can check the apt logs to see what packages were installed around the time you installed netbook remix and remove that packages [20:57] subspider: How did you lose your grub? What are you booting from now? [20:57] anyone able to help me - i install ltsp-server-standalone got everythign working fine. I do a reboot of my machine and now my dhcp3-server and my apache server don't load automatically.....any suggestions? [20:57] nathing [20:57] jonaz_: not sure but may be it will work [20:57] icedwater, nothing [20:57] gps23: I tried that. [20:57] juanca: if my ram is full I'll SortBy mem in htop and find out what is hogging ram, same with CPU. [20:57] subspider: Ah, you're on another computer, then? [20:58] icedwater, yes [20:58] whatever come up with the size of 7963 MB, but where would I assign that? Where the sdx is, or where the zero is? [20:58] Aperture, sdx if that command execute ~ you have to make sure which disk to wipe ~ it can be sda sdb sdc sdd.... etc [20:58] jonaz_ you removed the packages installed during that time? [20:58] icedwater, plz help me [20:58] Does google own Chromium [20:58] so i have a laptop, its an old compaq presario 700, it has a 1ghz processor, and 256 onboard ram, and a 3 gig hard drive. what linux should i put on it thats very low key, arch? [20:58] fredfall: sort of [20:58] fredfall: sorta [20:58] gps23: I tried that, the problem is that I installed netbook remix together with lucid, so it lists EVERYTHING lucid [20:58] there's no way to sort through it all [20:58] Ryann, Windows has a Format De-Format or Unformat command to recover a format, have you experimented with Linux in this case? [20:58] wildbat000: mk, I got it. Thanks! [20:58] subspider: Had to check, sometimes people miss that ;) What sort of error do you get when you power on your other computer? [20:58] sorry [20:58] sebsebseb, cellofellow: ? [20:58] patrinstar: try DamnSmallLinux [20:58] Well, the one that doesn't boot, I mean :) [20:59] Hi all, anyone have time for a quick 'desktop effects' question for 10.04? === shade\ is now known as {shade} [20:59] jonaz_: i have lucid too without anything extra installed much, see my logs and remove extra packages on your side [20:59] fredfall: well, google owns chrome outright, but what parts of chromium they don't own (if any) I don't know. === Fenario-lunch is now known as Fenario [20:59] kaniini, what is it? ive never heard of that? [20:59] gps23: pastebin? [20:59] fredfall: what? [20:59] hello [20:59] patrinstar: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org if I recall correctly. [20:59] icedwater, i can't boot and it send me to grub rescue [20:59] hello [20:59] hi [21:00] sebsebseb: Nothing [21:00] for some reason i get GDM started in tty1 and tty7, where I can change that? [21:00] jonaz_: k, i am on it, will inform you when done [21:00] fredfall: chromium is open source, so what' sit matter who owns it? [21:00] fredfall: no I see what you wanted now, nevermind [21:00] ctrl-x thanks [21:00] gps23: thanks! [21:00] jonaz_: np :) [21:00] for some reason i get GDM started in ctrl-alt-F1 and ctrl-alt-F7, where I can change that? [21:00] That's interesting. No error messages? And what's grub rescue? [21:00] fredfall: if you want to learn about browsers, feel free to pm me, it's one of my favourite chat subjects [21:00] cellofellow: km [21:01] icedwater, patrinstar , DSL no longer updating and support ~ not a good idea to use [21:01] cellofellow: Sorry, meant ok [21:01] wildbat000: Hmm, they're no longer updating? Shame. [21:01] fredfall: :) [21:01] icedwater, i don't know i put commands to it like help or wantever and nothing happends [21:01] icedwater, ya :< [21:01] noone? [21:01] sebsebseb: PM? Newbie on IRC [21:01] wildbat000, dammit, it sounded really nice too. do you have any suggestions? [21:02] subspider: I would have recommended booting from a liveCD or liveUSB, then going into chroot and fixing your grub with an update-grub [21:02] fredfall: oh right I see [21:02] fredfall: /msg, pm stands for private message [21:02] patrinstar: this is ubuntu technical support channel. For other questions you're welcome to join in #ubuntu-offtopic [21:02] fredfall: that also seems to explain why your asking what browser to use [21:02] wildbat000: patrinstar: Actually, that's no reason not to use DSL. [21:02] hmm [21:02] oCean_, sorry [21:02] ubuntu is on front page of espn.com [21:02] :) [21:03] patrinstar, if you need GUI then try ~ lubuntu ~ a bit heavy for your pc but i think is ok, or any CLI linux is fine [21:04] spotter, I dont see it there where is it exactly?

[21:06] yes, it does... otherwise lenny would be completely dangerous [21:06] icedwater, yes [21:06] Do you know which partition is the one where you had root before? [21:06] does gParted deal correctly with gpt ? === Caspa4_29 is now known as Caspa_29 [21:07] aperson: so, have you tried it out yet? did that work for you? [21:07] jonaz_: http://pastebin.com/0aBrGWh3 [21:07] thanks! [21:07] when I start GDM I got it started two times (at the same time) in tty1 and tty7, how can I change that behavior?

[21:08] onetinsoldier, that did the trick! [21:08] subspider: Found the root partition? [21:09] aperson: cool. i worked on that for quite a while :-) now maybe you see what i mean by it's not quite the same as a .deb package ;-) [21:09] when I start GDM I got it started two times (at the same time) in tty1 and tty7, and also GDM got restarted when I login into it, how can I change that behavior? [21:09] TLF: umm... don't start it the second time? [21:09] onetinsoldier, it's a problem with ubuntu, not with the packaging [21:09] onetinsoldier, in any case, I thank you very much [21:09] psusi: it starts automatically [21:09] jonaz_: np, one more thing, after uninstalled remix specific packages, move your dot file from ur home dir to some other dir, so that on reboot default lucid colors etc comes [21:09] icedwater, is the root partition but it seems to be the live cd partition [21:09] aperson: you're welcome. enjoy! [21:09] TLF?? The Last Fantasy? [21:09] subspider: Yup, you need to find the other root partition. [21:10] icedwater, it gave me a table [21:10] I'm guessing it would be something like /dev/sdb1/ [21:10] can someone look at my fstab - http://pastebin.com/3bcHr1kS - and tell me why my quota settings on / are not being applied when running command quotacheck -avugm which outputs quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option [21:10] got it :) [21:10] TLF: you said "when I start..." don't manually start it... [21:10] ok wait [21:10] Hey please could someone help me fix gdesklets? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m13RKXLp or even just tell me where the log file is? [21:11] psusi: I mean when I start the system, I don't start it manually [21:11] Spotter, the Ubuntu on that web site was not what you thought it to be. The meaning of Ubuntu is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28philosophy%29 Also the word Ubuntu is explained by Nelson Mandela here: http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/06/01/the-meaning-of-ubuntu-explained-by-nelson-mandela/ [21:12] ahhh, fixed!

Enjoy your stay! [21:14] Curly_Q, I know, I was making a joke [21:14] well, I stumbled upon the package that was causing all the trouble. In case anyone ever gets reamed with that annoying launcher, tell them to sudo apt-get remove netbook-launcher-efl [21:14] icedwater, i'm trying to do what you told me but i don't know how [21:14] Spotter, cool. :) [21:14] Afternoon, all. Anyone happen to know if it's possible to give write permissions for Samba without giving rename? [21:15] Razion, nope [21:15] Okay. Let me run this by you then. How much more CPU is it going to consume to run 30~ samba shares? :P [21:16] pretty much noob at linux.....but im having an issue getting my mic to work on a MS lx-3000 usb headset....anyone know how to fix that? [21:16] Razion: more likely to run out of bandwidth befor CPU [21:16] *before [21:16] Well the share is just over LAN. So it should be fine then. [21:16] Thanks. [21:16] gps23: it's also possible to just login to gnome from the login screen by selecting gnome at the bottom (no need to get rid of the package) [21:17] alright, i'm off. thanks for the effort :) [21:17] Hey please could someone help me fix gdesklets? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m13RKXLp Apparently there is no log file available.

[21:19] because once it goes off the screen no one is gonna see it =P [21:19] !spam [21:19] yea....i was kinda wondering the same thing [21:19] The gdesklets-daemon writes a log file. That file can be found in ~/.gdesklets/logs/gdesklets.log [21:19] Guest63641, expands your issue with details may be while you waiting [21:19] dan There is always www.ubuntuforums.org :) [21:20] the logs directory is empty [21:20] depends on how busy the channel is i guess, but repeat the question like every 5-10 minutes i think [21:20] dan: Guest63641 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines?action=show&redirect=IrcGuidelines [21:20] anyone reporting nvidia problems with lucid?

I was hoping you guys might know easier solutions. [21:25] skyred: would be better if you tried to describe, when the lockups happen [21:25] gps23: dunno about grub2 though, it worked in grub legacy [21:25] is there any chance that the logs could be disabled by default? [21:25] icedwater, so what can i do now [21:25] onetinsoldier, yeah, I've used it for a few releases now, I've gotten used to it. [21:25] ethana2: dunno about grub2 though, it worked in grub legacy [21:25] Hello. I installed Ubuntu 10.4 desktop x86 on VMWare but I can't log in because keyboard is not working.

My idea was more like you let the tail program run until your next freeze. The last entry might enlighten you (or not). It might even actually continue to run, which would point to a GPU crash. [21:34] onetinsoldier: file says it is a executable. It does have x permissions for all users. It is now currently on the thumbdrive [21:34] twosheds: have you checked linuxprinting.org ? it's got a loooong list of printers, which ones work and which ones doesn't [21:34] Yeah [21:34] hey.....sometimes when i boot ubuntu...the monitor goes off but the cpu is on...what can be the problem?? [21:34] However, I run: ./executable and the shell says it doesn't exist [21:34] I also posted a message there, but got nothing [21:34] My question: I've been having problems with my internet performance. Everytime I run a speed test, it gives poor results, 1mb down and 0.75mb up with 30ms ping. The ping is good. Is there some sort of cap on my internet connection through Ubuntu? [21:34] Spreadsheet_: roger. see if it's still the same if you copy it off the thumbdrive i guess [21:34] <[fade]> bryant is it wireless? [21:34] Yes. [21:34] bryant: if it's a normal install there shouldn't be [21:34] <[fade]> if so, its maybe bad signal, i had similar problems [21:34] Please someone answer me...:P [21:34] The thing is, that when I plug it in [21:34] ok, empathy is not a decent irc client. [21:34] du -h says it is 800k, about normal [21:34] On WIndows 7 I don't hav this problem. [21:34] Spreadsheet_: try the file command on it again [21:35] <[fade]> ubuntu does not limit your speed [21:35] ubuntu gives me a long list of drivers, with many models similar to mine [21:35] but not mine [21:35] Hello I would like to know how I can remove ALL java settings / plugins and files [21:35] the 150, the 160 etc. [21:35] onetinsoldier: on desktop, still says executable [21:35] Windows 7 gives me 6-8mb down and 1mb up everytime. [21:35] hmw, yes, that's good way. sorry I didn't understand when you said "other way" to get into the system [21:35] Just not this specific one [21:35] hmw, I don't have SSH set up yet [21:35] but going to [21:35] Same behaviour for shell, it says it doesn't exist [21:35] anyone know the name for java channel? [21:35] ##java? [21:35] bryant: ther should not be any cap by default. Do you perhaps have this certain FireFox plugin, which caps bandwidth? Other processes using the net? [21:35] tried that, doesnt exist [21:36] Warrior`: could be the graphics card freaking out for some reason.. or the "graphics card talks to monitor to see what it can do"-process that goes bad.. and it thinks you've got a 2 inch monitor with 312x7 dimensions.. and thus refuses to work with it [21:36] Spreadsheet_: hmm. show exact output of the file command [21:36] how do I install python2.4? [21:36] engo a doubt as I can get to one computer via ubuntu? [21:36] hi, does anyone know a workaround when the mouse starts moving by itself? it happens randomly with a fresh ubuntu installation and not regulary [21:36] Warrior`: there's nothing in the logs when this happens? [21:36] oh wait, got be registered [21:36] skyred: don't worry. Install ssh: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [21:36] /home/lymskos/Desktop/wav2m4a: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped [21:36] mrec: what kind of mouse? anything else connected? joystick? [21:36] mrec, i press around the touchpad area on my laptop and it stops [21:36] twosheds: http://files.canon-europe.com/files/soft28619/software/MP140_debian.tar get that [21:36] onetinsoldier: ^ [21:36] bryant:and when you download something from windows or ubuntu, are the speed the same? [21:36] Slart: touchpad [21:37] i am gonna check it Slart [21:37] Slart: nothing else is connected [21:37] well the crappy monitor is 17 inches though [21:37] Spreadsheet_: roger. perhaps you don't have the 32-bit libs/environment installed [21:37] You know, I tried something like that [21:37] I installed the driver from their website [21:37] LzrdKing: I usually do that too but it hardly recovers the mouse and right now for 10 minutes it's going wild [21:37] mrec: I would guess it's some kind of driver problem with the mouse pad then.. that's all I can think of [21:37] Slart: ya [21:37] And even though the print server detects the printer, and even says it's OK [21:37] that's also what I think ... [21:37] como puedo hacer que al pulsar la tecla de windows se abra directamente un terminal¿? [21:37] twosheds: http://files.canon-europe.com/files/soft28482/software/28482.tgz thats the scangear [21:38] onetinsoldier: I don't think you need one, do you? It ran when I downloaded it from a site [21:38] When I send a job, it acts like all is well, but actually nothing happens [21:38] Spreadsheet_: try --> dpkg -l ia32-libs [21:38] No packages matching ia32-libs [21:38] Spreadsheet_: ok, install it... sudo aptitude install ia32-libs [21:38] ok [21:39] Spreadsheet_: then try to run that executable again [21:39] dear this sucks I cannot use my notebook in X as long as the mouse jumps wildly [21:39] So if I were to rephrase my problem, it would be like this: All seems to be well after driver installation, but after I send a job (and the queue clears like everything's fine) nothing happens [21:39] twosheds: canon are supporting linux :) [21:39] onetinsoldier: there's a lot of dependencies [21:39] Spreadsheet_: roger... let it all install [21:39] I'll be ok with not using it [21:39] !find ia32 [21:39] nonono [21:40] ActionParsnip: They are, but like I said, after installatin and all that good fun, sending a print job does not get the printer to do anything [21:40] Found: lsb-core, lsb-cxx, lsb-desktop, lsb-graphics, lsb-printing (and 4 others) [21:40] something's absolutely wrongwith ubuntu [21:40] Spreadsheet_: it's nice to have the 32-bit libs installed though, imo [21:40] dan, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1454324 [21:40] question: is killalll fuzzy? if i called "killall -USR1 this", would it kill both "this" and "this_other" ? [21:40] hmw, ok. all set. waiting for crashes [21:40] !info ia32-libs [21:41] Package ia32-libs does not exist in lucid [21:41] 10.10 please crashes on me, lol [21:41] 10.04* [21:41] mrec, pls avoid sweeping statements , be nmore specific about your problem [21:41] strange [21:41] anyone? [21:41] onetinsoldier: thanks [21:41] twosheds:a question you have already posted i think, but what kind of canon you have? [21:41] Spreadsheet_: you're welcome [21:41] onetinsoldier, w32codecs perhaps ? [21:41] barbarella: Canon Pixma MP140 [21:41] twosheds: looks like it needs a little love after installing the debs: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9118790 [21:42] Hi guys, I am running an acer aspire one and recently installed ubuntu. Everything was working fine but I read i shouldnt have formatted using a journaling file system so I re installed fresh with EXT2. I reinstalled the programs I wanted (sopcast-player and vlc) and I realized my touchpad mouse is now no longer working, im really new to linux and dont know what to do to troubleshoot as it worked on my first fresh install. Any ideas? [21:42] BluesKaj: no... ia32-libs. and they exist in Lucid. that package is in Lucid. don't know why the bot said it isn't [21:42] skyred: examining /var/log/Xorg.0.log will show you output of the X server system. Although it might be boring, you might find interesting stuff in there. Don't get me wrong: I am not really expecting your GPU to fail. [21:42] octatone, that what the man page for ;p ~ but no [21:42] man page is unclear [21:43] that's why i am asking [21:43] twosheds: seems it can use the MP150 driver to print [21:43] Mfpockets, you checked that it isn't disabled by the keyboard shortcut? [21:43] NB I already tried sudo apt-get install synaptics, which informed me is out of date and need tpconfig instead so i got tat, still doesnt work [21:43] skyred: hah. Did you check temperature? I am using sudo apt-get install sensors-applet and then rightclick to top panel, add to panel, drag sensors-applet to panel and configure it a bit [21:43] twosheds:have you rebooted [21:43] octatone, "If the command name is not regular expression (option -r) and contains a slash (/), processes executing that particular file will be selected for killing, independent of their name." [21:43] Robert_zenz: I tried that too. on screen display works to show its enabled/disabled but doesnt work in either mode [21:43] Hm. [21:43] Hi Folks, Why is a simple "ls" via ssh working BUT a "chroot" is not? http://pastie.org/959298 [21:44] Mfpockets: try the i8024.reset boot option in /etc/default/grub [21:44] Hi, anyone could help me with a conky config? [21:44] I have some issues with my conky file... I'm trying to load 2 conky config, the first load a "background" image and some information, the second load more info. But the image covers that second config.. Anyone know how do it right? [21:44] (sry for my english) [21:44] Mfpockets, and what happens if you run tpconfig? [21:44] actionparsnip: that went over my head. thats the boot meny [21:44] actionparsnip: that went over my head. thats the boot men [21:44] is there a way to alt tab back into a full screen game i'm unaware of? [21:44] actionparsnip: that went over my head. thats the boot menu and i can select that or do i need to add an entry [21:45] sudo apt-get install sensors-applet [21:45] lol [21:45] run terminal [21:45] twosheds:you can always use virtualbox [21:45] Robert_zenz: it updated but it still didnt fix the issue. [21:45] don't see it in synaptic, onetinsoldier [21:45] Robert_zenz: if i do it again it says its up to date [21:45] guys im having trouble with X and my TV keeps going to 720x480 xorg.log http://pastebin.org/231665 it finds the modline for the tv automaticly but wont let me go to 1920x540 [21:45] uan as I can connect to network via the console? [21:45] Mfpockets: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+question/90549 see my 2nd post here [21:45] Segura: there is a #conky channel if unsuccessful here [21:45] Mfpockets, what happens if you run it? Open a terminal, type tpconfig [21:46] ActionParsnip: Sorry, something caught my attention [21:46] ActionParsnip: Should I try the MP150 driver? [21:46] twosheds: worth a try [21:46] Yes I know bastidrazor.. [21:46] BluesKaj: what do you get from this command? apt-cache show ia32-libs [21:46] thx anyway [21:46] twosheds: remove te current printer so you start from fresh [21:46] ActionParsnip: Just use the printing server? [21:46] skyred: i just prefer to always seeing the graph on the screen. [21:46] ActionParsnip: Or is there a more "linux"y thing to do? [21:47] twosheds: theres a printing app in administration [21:47] Robert_zenz: Could not open PS/2 Port [/dev/psaux]. [21:47] ActionParsnip: OK.. [21:47] hmw, got it [21:47] twosheds: under the system menu [21:47] ActionParsnip: Got it [21:47] ActionParsnip: Do "delete"? [21:47] twosheds: sure [21:48] Mfpockets, sounds like a driver issue...try the solution from ActionParship. [21:48] ActionParsnip: And then when I replug it, will I be able to start fresh, or is there anything else to do? [21:48] how do you move the window controls back to the "normal" side in Lucid? [21:48] twosheds: definately [21:48] !controls [21:48] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [21:49] BluesKaj: i have ia32-libs showing in my synaptic. but i also have it installed [21:49] ActionParsnip: OK, giving it a try [21:49] LoRez: there are thousands of guides for this? did you not search any? [21:49] I have. [21:49] ActionParsnip: No, it just re-added the one I just deleted [21:49] LoRez: easy way is to just change themes [21:49] LoRez: see ubottu msg above... [21:49] Robert_zenz: Thanks. [21:49] ActionParsnip: I probably need to work a little harder here, no? [21:50] ok, because i don't need it on this 32bit laptop , however it's not always necessary any more to install on 64 bit machines [21:50] can i tell ubuntu to come out of standby at a certain time [21:50] hmw, I got 58C and 54C two values [21:50] greets! it takes a long time for my ubuntu (10.04) box to connect to my nas (path: smb://../alotoffilesfiles/) Any tips? [21:50] LoRez: gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close" [21:50] Is there more support for nvidia cards on multiple monitor setups in linux yet? [21:51] (newer nvidia cards) [21:51] twosheds: if you can, change the driver in the app [21:51] BluesKaj: yea, you won't have that package available on a 32-bit installation [21:51] <_blackwater_> coreyman1 yep [21:51] You can always run 32-bit ubuntu on a 64-bit system [21:51] coreyman1: sure, nvidia-settings will manage it all [21:51] ActionParsnip: yeah, I followed the link [21:51] skyred: this sounds quite ok. I will tell you, when I got even more ideas, what to check. Perhaps it's just a broken driver. Finding a pattern should help... [21:51] Well _blackwater_ and actionparsnip i had trouble with my 8600 GT, hours of configuration just to get two monitors running. [21:51] hmw, I got two temperatures. how can I figure out which for which though [21:52] ActionParsnip: I'll try [21:52] LoRez: all better? [21:52] much better this is. thanks [21:52] onetinsoldier, so you have problems with some media on your 64 bit machine? ,just curiousbecause my other linux box is 64 bit [21:52] coreyman1: if your using the correct drivers then you should be able to configure pretty much all of it in the nvidia X server settings [21:52] so it's better with the newer 400 series actionparsnip and _blackwater_ ? [21:52] hmw, could be a broken driver, since I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 [21:52] coreyman1: usually its nice, nvidia are highly supported by nvidia and have done for years [21:52] dcgstudios I know, gnome kept locking up with dual monitor [21:53] dcgstudios i had to switch to kde, and then it was still a you know what [21:53] do you know the content of httpd.conf to use apache2 + php ?? [21:53] BluesKaj: no. i'm not really into multimedia a lot. only problem i had was finding something that could play these old .mov files i have. finally got them to play with 'winff' [21:53] coreyman1: what exactly is "lock up" [21:53] skyred: i am not good with sensors. I think, running (perhaps with sudo) sensors-detect in the terminal might tell you which is which [21:53] wildbat000: I can't install the old version because I don't have python-xml and I cant install python-xml because "dependency is not satisfiable" (something to do with python2.6) I think I give up, thanks for your help. [21:53] onetinsoldier, You had no luck with vlc? [21:53] Is there anyone who can explain why my laptop which is using wireless WPA2 to connect to the wireless access point is not able to connect to instant messaging services through empathy, aMSN and pidgin? (10.04) [21:53] yeah, ffmpeg to the rescue :) [21:53] dcgstudios well i remember if i tried to set my monitor as "above" it would not finish loading gnome. it would only work to the left or right. [21:53] ActionParsnip: Wait, something's going on here. It's alive, but let's see how it prints.. [21:54] porsche911turbo: bad dns servers maybe [21:54] dcgstudios just wondering if anyone here has had better luck with the newer cards, looking to run triple monitor [21:54] coreman1.Im using kde now. to each his own :-) [21:54] costre: nope. everything i tried on these old... lke 2001 .mov files would either play the audio, or the video, but not both... until i tried winff [21:54] like* [21:54] coreyman1: well iv gotten dual moniters to run on both my macbook pro( 8600M GT) and on my desktop(9800 GTX) [21:55] ActionParsnip, I have performed a lookup and the address seems to be as expected. The DNS servers are the same for both wired and wireless as the wireless access point is built into the home router I have. [21:55] ActionParsnip: It printed the test page! Truly the most ink-consuming page I've ever seen, but it looks good [21:55] ActionParsnip: I'll try and print a document [21:55] dcgstudios I got it to work too, but hours later and many .conf files later, and lots of headache [21:55] coreyman1: and generally the problem wouldnt lie in the desktop enviorment, generally its a configuration or driver problem. [21:55] twosheds: the ubuntu one isnt too bad, HP have truly bad ones [21:55] actionparsnip: Sorry, im still scratching my head with that post you sent me. I assume this is the first command in terminal: cd cd /etc/default/; sudo cp ./grub ./grub.old; gksudo gedit ./grub ??? but it returns bash: cd: cd: No such file or directory [21:56] client lanman auth = yes is this a good way to conf. for a fast connection to my NAS? [21:56] th3sk3ptic oh i love kde :) [21:56] Mfpockets, You have to cd in the beginning [21:56] two* [21:56] ... int the /etc/samba/smb.conf [21:56] Is there a way to clear some of the old Kernel version from my boot menu? [21:56] Mfpockets: just use: gksudo gedit /etc/defaul/grub [21:57] Mfpockets: then add the textas decribed [21:57] DrRobotnik: remove the kernel you do not longer need [21:57] hello [21:57] erusul: by synaptic you mean? [21:57] DrRobotnik: yes [21:57] Thank [21:57] coreyman1: are you getting twinview running?

[21:58] dcgstudios im not running anything right now [21:58] can i tell ubuntu to come out of standby at a certain time? [21:58] harjot: you can use the at command [21:58] dcgstudios im reflecting on my past experiences, asking if anything is better [21:58] ActionParsnip: [21:58] ActionParsnip: what exactly does it do? [21:58] Hi all, trying to get my sony eReader to work with calibre, but calibre cannot detect the reader. Any ideas on how to fix this? [21:58] dcgstudios and one thing i need to know, is there dual graphics card + triple + quad monitor support [21:58] I am creating an ubuntu remix for private internal use at my organization, and everything is working fine, but there are two refinements I wish to make: 1) startup gdm at boot and 2) replace the xfce4 config files with my own custom defaults [21:59] harjot: not sure what the command to com out of standby is but the at scheduler will allow you to pick a time for something to happen [21:59] do you know the content of httpd.conf to use apache2 + php ?? [21:59] ok i will read the man [21:59] does anyone know how to do this? [21:59] !customize | gatlin [21:59] ActionParsnip: It's working!

[22:00] i have lamp but php don't work [22:00] harjot: I don't think there is a command to wake it up from standby - in standby the cpu is not running - so noone to keep time - you would have to set it in your bios I guess [22:00] omar: reboot and read: dmesg | less you may need firmware [22:00] So I have a webcam that refuses to work.

Personally, I have mixed feelings about E17. On the one hand its lightweight and very nice to look at but on the other hand its a bit convoluted [22:46] if i chmod /var/www recursively to 770 it gives me a permission denied error [22:46] but it shouldnt seeing as apache owns the stuff in /var/www and is in the same group [22:46] unless..

[22:51] enav: there is a channel for apache .. #httpd [22:51] dancek: Anybody knows why iptables logs gives me a 14 byte MAC address instead of standard 6? === aperson is now known as darkhazard [22:51] deposito: this looks wrong: noserverino (i am not used to use cifs, btw) [22:51] hmw, if i try to change the permissons i got a access denied ... even if i do it from root command line [22:52] dancek, I havent done anything. But my youtube is black (chrome) suddenly. [22:52] hmw, if i dont use that i cant run DOS program xD [22:52] deposito: i mean noserverino looks like it should read serverinfo [22:52] bodom, no idea, your nick just caught my attention since i live near bodominjärvi :P [22:53] dancek: really? [22:53] bodom, yeah. i guess it's offtopic though :) [22:53] hmw, i checked it. its ok :D [22:53] hmw, deposito@ubuntu:/$ sudo chmod 0777 /farmatronic/ [22:53] [sudo] password for deposito: [22:53] chmod: cambiando los permisos de «/farmatronic/»: Permiso denegado [22:53] deposito: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:54] hmw, ill back i one minute [22:54] im new on this... every time i restart my apache this show me this output but i don know whether this is good or bad http://pastebin.com/TaA9QyCF [22:55] hey guys, what is the root password on a 9.10 i386 live cd? [22:55] parim: it is blank [22:55] dancek, I havent done anything YET. But my youtube is black (chrome) suddenly. (I'm copying your comments into a file. saving some tabs.) [22:55] so does anyone know how to reduce the spacing between icons on the indicator applet on lucid? [22:55] !root | parim [22:55] parim: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:55] hmw, here === Joint is now known as TiMiDo [22:57] tripelb, ok, well since you've had a freeze while playing video anyhow then i guess that's just another segfault that luckily didn't freeze your system :) [22:57] 0/clear [22:57] tripelb, i'd say go on with the rm [22:58] parim: there is no root pass on a live Cd [22:59] just sudo -i [22:59] Anyone run LXDE? [22:59] Hello. Has the problem of the freezing login screen been fixed? [23:00] ciao [23:00] mawst, well i have it on my ps3 [23:00] R0b0t1: do you have an url to the bug report? [23:00] dancek: Ubuntu + LXDE? [23:00] mawst, yep [23:01] Nice [23:01] I hope geohot releases the pwn soon. [23:01] So my slim can run linux [23:01] :) [23:01] Slart: No... apparently, no one experiencing the problem has made one. [23:01] I'm tired of transcoding. [23:01] Tired of no XBMC too [23:01] :) [23:01] I need help giving permissons to a shared folder. Could anyone help me? Thanks [23:02] R0b0t1: well.. then I think it's safe to say that no.. it hasn't been fixed =/ [23:02] Well, correction, it doesn't *freeze*, there is simply no mouse or keyboard input <- Slart [23:02] But anyway. [23:02] mawst, i'm not really very hopeful... anyway, you had some question about lxde? [23:02] Guess not :p [23:02] Lucid Lynx: mounting a ntfs partition only works with relative path; on an absolute path, my mount options get ignored [23:02] dancek: How do you like it? [23:02] How do I disable the shutting of of the screen at my minimal ubuntu? (I.e. I've got no window manager nor even an desktop environment...) [23:04] mawst, i do like it, it's quite lightweight... i guess going for fluxbox or fwvm2 or whathaveya would be still lighter, but i don't care about configging [23:04] Does anyone know of a way I can make links in wine programs open in my native linux browser (chrome) instead of wine ie? [23:04] hey guys i was trying to install ubuntu on an encrypted volume and after the install it would not accept my password, i tried to delete the partitions and start over but it will not mount even after i created new partitions just says not authorized [23:05] is there a way to fully remove encryption or did i brick the drive? [23:05] jcrawford: Well, you SHOULD be able to delete the encrypted part. [23:05] Can anyone help me get PenguinTV (or something similar) working for my podcasts (video and audio) [23:05] I mean, you won't ever get your stuff back if you don't have the correct password. [23:05] R0b0t1, there was nothing on it [23:05] hey.. thanks. People in linux is really helpfull. Its incredible. much much much more helper than in other operating systems. I dont understand why people that has workstations does not change to linux!!! [23:05] just trying to install Ubuntu on an encrypted thumb drive [23:06] but ubuntu would not let me delete the partitions so i went to windows, got them deleted came back to ubuntu, created an ext 4 partition and it will not mount [23:06] though the partition is there [23:06] My motherboard Ethernet died. I disabled it in the BIOS, plugged in a PCI Ethernet card, and booted Lucid. nm-tool and ifconfig know there's a working eth1, but networking isn't using it. What's the simplest way to tell the net stack that eth1 is the default? [23:06] Hello everyone, can anybody help me get my nvidia drivers installed? The "Hardware Drivers" list is empty [23:06] just says not authorized [23:06] R0b0t1: does this look like your problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/546587 [23:06] i no longer see a partition that is encrypted in disk utility [23:06] R0b0t1: although it just affects the keyboard [23:07] Slart: No, it affects my mouse as well... My mouse is USB, however, that might be part of it. [23:07] even tried gparted [23:07] yes yes yes.. helpss rules!! === skierpage_ is now known as skierpage [23:07] Slart: Sounds like it, but is 10.04 karmic...? [23:07] onvm [23:07] FullFullMetalG: Are all your packages up to date? When was the last time you ran update-manager? [23:08] I installed ubuntu today [23:08] R0b0t1: nope.. but lucid is mentioned further down.. there's also this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/577173 [23:08] and ran update-manager today [23:08] my card is a GTX275 from nvidia [23:08] FullMetalG: Ah you have, did you reboot after you ran update-manager? [23:08] yes, i did a reboot [23:08] R0b0t1: this might also be useful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9294246 [23:08] Why does not the screen-resolution go back to default after 15 secs as it did in Karmic? A friend of my had huge issues getting his monitor to work after trying a "wrong" resolution... [23:09] FullMetalG: Hmm that fixed mine last time, not to sure then mate [23:09] Slart: Thanks. The first one looks like it's the one I'm talking about... If I can upgrade the kernel, it should work, apparently. How might I do that via SSH? Or, rather, how might I do that via command line? [23:09] v.v yeah it's supposed to work after running the update manager right? [23:10] R0b0t1: if the new kernel is available from the repos you just run "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [23:10] does qemu-kvm have 3d hardware acceleration? [23:10] FullMetalG: Well yeah, I've got an ATI card but last time, mine had to pick up a few xserver-radeon packages before it could detect my card, sounds like you've done that stuff already though [23:10] Slart: That I did. It might be recent, I will try again. Thanks :) [23:10] no i havent >< [23:10] * R0b0t1 imagines this is something they would have put in the repos. [23:10] I'm an absolute begginer here [23:10] i'm not quite sure what that means :3 [23:11] FullMetalG: I mean running update-manager, not the radeon packages, that was just an example for my card, mine is ATI so it's different [23:11] Hi, is there a way to see what packages were installed after the default desktop install? [23:11] oh I see [23:12] Re: getting Ubuntu to use eth1, I found http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637964 "Making eth1 default" but it's 3 years old and has the usual 57 different answers. Sigh [23:12] Hello, how do I use lightscribe [23:12] MrKeuner: you can always get a list of all installed packages by running "dpkg -l" in a terminal.. that's a lower case L [23:12] in ubuntu [23:12] hey I am switching from a Mac to Ubuntu after I sell my Mac, I need iDVD [23:12] or something close to it [23:12] Slart, and is there a list of default installaiton pacgaes somewhwere? [23:13] MrKeuner, I'm no expert but you can look at /var/log/dpkg* files. [23:13] skierpage: do you want to use the name "eth1" ? or do you want to use that network connection and it's ok if it's called "eth0" ? [23:13] ubuntu karmic koala won't mount my dvd-rom drive. it says 'error mounting; mount exited with exit code 1 - helper failed with - mount; block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only. mount; /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/cdrom0 busy [23:13] MrKeuner, I'm no expert but you can look at the .manifest file for your ISO to see what packages are on it. I'm not sure that they're all installed. [23:13] MrKeuner: I'm not sure.. it's nothing I've looked for... but I suppose there might be one out there somewhere [23:14] skierpage, probably that would not work since I am using this system since 8.10 or something by upgrading [23:14] greetings... i'm trying to download packages for a different ubuntu version with apt... i'm trying to use the APT options... anyone have any experience in this? [23:15] hello folks [23:15] hey there. my dream is to turn on my netbook and it doesn't show the gnome login screen. instead, i want to login from terminal and then use the startx command to open gnome. how can I do that? thanks!!! [23:15] anyone here use aufs? [23:15] someone here knows how to configure nscd? because i want to put name resolutions manual [23:15] ehazlett: I've always ended up using http://packages.ubuntu.com for that.. never tried apt [23:15] I really like iDVD and I want something like it on Ubuntu [23:15] Slart: you mean you just download them individually? [23:15] So... how do I install the nvidia drivers if they dont show up under "Hardware Drivers"? [23:15] Slart, I'm not sure. I just want Ubuntu to automatically use the only working Ethernet "device" which is currently named eth1. [23:15] tetermy, google setting up the runlevel on boot [23:16] sardonyx: thanks! going to try that :) [23:16] holy crap.. chmod 777 /dev/sr0 worked [23:17] FullMetalG: What card do you have, you can google around for instructions, maybe your card isn't supported by the open source drivers [23:17] does fdisk allow to resize partition entries? [23:17] it's a GTX275 [23:17] skierpage: you can change the names of the network devices if you edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules .. the first time ubuntu finds a network device it writes some lines into that file to remember which name it was given.. it's a regular text file [23:17] JyZyXEL: Not as far as I know. [23:17] I am running DHCPD on a server, so I can't use the command line options, and I'm interested in looking for a way to bind DHCPD to 2 interfaces out of the 3 I have in my server. How would i go about this? The man page doesn't show much useful information. [23:18] is there a tool that allows to do that? [23:18] last time I tried installing nvidia drivers manually i lost the GUI and I had to reinstall ubuntu =/ [23:18] Issadle_m: take a look at devede. No promises though... [23:18] oh ty === darkhazard is now known as aperson [23:18] JyZyXEL, parted or gparted might help [23:19] Is it possible (if then how) to change how much the volume increases/decreases (when used by binding a keyshortcut for those)? [23:19] MrKeuner , the O.S. update program writes copious logs of what packages it installs, updates, removes. They might still be around in /var somewhere. [23:19] JyZyXEL: Fdisk changes where partitions start and end, resize2fs resizes an ext filesystem. parted / gparted combine both. Do *not* shrink a partition with fdisk before resizing it. [23:19] I have a toshiba satellite with a bios so horrible it can do _nothing_ but boot directly from the boot partition [23:19] JyZyXEL, though iirc if you want to shrink something you have to first shrink the filesystem and only then you can shrink the partition -- and only some file systems are shrinkable [23:19] I took the HDD out, hooked it up to my other laptop via usb, and I'm running off of it right now [23:20] I need to force it to use VESA, how do I do this? [23:20] JyZyXEL: Or rather, before resizing the filesystem in that partition [23:20] Slart, thanks I'll take a look, maybe I can blow that away and let Ubuntu rediscover my only working Eth. (Goes afk). [23:20] skierpage: good luck [23:20] i said partition entries [23:20] Jordan_U: can fdisk change where the partition ends? [23:20] JyZyXEL: if you can, do a full backup before you start resizing. It occasionally all goes horribly wrong, or you press the wrong button and poof! [23:21] JyZyXEL, i think fdisk can't resize but only delete and then create another one [23:21] FullMetalG: Not really sure, never had a nvidia card personally, which ubuntu version are you using? Lucid yeah? [23:21] i guess ill do that [23:21] JyZyXEL: Yes, but to be perfectly honest if you need to ask that you are probably safer using gparted. [23:21] * dancek thinks everyone should always have *current* backups of everything [23:21] JyZyXEL: what Jordan_U said... [23:21] gparted doesn't support that [23:21] can gparted install grub on specific partitions? [23:21] if the contents of the partition is mounted [23:22] JyZyXEL: none of the partitioners are safe to use on a *mounted* partition... === Maelos is now known as rmk [23:22] it shouldn't matter [23:22] I'm using Hardy Heron [23:22] ethana3: No, use grub install for that, but you should really install to the mbr rather than a partition. [23:22] FullMetalG: time to upgrade man [23:23] good evening, everyone [23:23] JyZyXEL: It does, it's critical in fact. [23:23] Jordan_U: the toshiba bios will not use the mbr whatsoever [23:23] it's the most horrible bios in the history of man [23:23] i need some help on launchpad referer headers, may someone kindly help me? [23:23] Haha really= [23:23] i doubt partition table is very critical after the filesystem is mounted [23:23] hi [23:23] I thought LTS was better for n00bs like myself [23:23] Jordan_U: it's installed to the mbr already [23:23] ethana3: i never herd of bios not using a mbr in my life [23:23] JyZyXEL, with a mounted partition you have the risk that even if you can force a tool to try something, it will not finish and your partition table is messed [23:23] gogeta: that's how horrible it is [23:23] FullMetalG: Hardy Heron seriously? That was bloody ages ago, Lucid is LTS, that's the latest get that [23:24] ethana3: mbr is based on the hdd [23:24] JyZyXEL: It is, trust me. If you don't mind losing your files you can try it yourself... [23:24] ethana3: not the bios [23:24] gogeta: what_EVER_ you do, don't get stuck with a Toshiba Satellite A45-S121 [23:24] gogeta: I know. [23:24] On mac os x, to listen a specific music, I do from terminal "open bob.mp3", which will launch iTunes. What is the equivalent for ubuntu ? [23:24] yea but having a messed partition table doesn't prevent mouting a filesystem [23:24] I have a Toshiba Satellite hehe [23:24] crap [23:24] JyZyXEL: are you trolling? For someone who didn't even know which partition program to use, you seem pretty opinionated about the internals of partition management... [23:24] ethana3: i used tosibas beofre there fine with a diffrent mbr [23:24] Fandekasp: we don't try to make our CLI usable [23:24] gogeta: I have, they are very rare and extremely broken but they do exist. [23:24] Fandekasp: I reccomend making a bash alias in your ~/.bashrc [23:24] ethana3: some bios you do have to seitch the os typeto other [23:24] FullMetalG: Hardy will be the reason your card won't work it wouldn't have been supported in hardy then [23:24] gogeta: ...what? === skierpage_ is now known as skierpage [23:25] ethana3: my eee has that set os to other and everything works [23:25] ethana3, oh ok you teach me something. So I have to alias with a specific music reader I have installed [23:25] gogeta: this bios doesn't even let you change boot device order [23:25] it's a bios from HELL. [23:25] Ok, anyone used to radeonhd drivers, X11 faults, "OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer" and obviously compiz wich isn't working... [23:25] ethana3: maybe thers a update [23:25] ethana3: "sudo grub-install --force /dev/sdXX", you may want to consider coreboot as a firmware replacement. [23:25] Fandekasp: yeah, open ~/.bashrc in gedit [23:26] no wait, that'll make 'open' just run one app... [23:26] ethana3: if you cant change the boot order you should still should be able to use the boot menu [23:26] I don't know how to do that..... [23:26] gogeta: nope. [23:26] ethana3, thank you [23:26] gogeta: trust me, this bios was written by Satan. [23:26] gogeta: so I'm running off the hard drive in a different machine over USB [23:26] Fandekasp, there's no similar command to 'open' on any other os afaik [23:26] cannadark: The radeonhd driver has been pretty much abandoned. [23:26] how do I make it use VESA? [23:26] ethana3: boot meny is a 1 time switch of boot order f12 on most bios [23:26] menu [23:26] gogeta: I'm fully aware. [23:27] dancek, ethana3 : in fact I can replace open by rhytmbox, simply:) [23:27] ethana3: lots of them are. Manufacturers also cripple bioses to reduce misconfiguration and hence support calls... [23:27] Loshki: that's what I figure happened [23:27] no one on my sound issue? [23:28] Jordan_U: thanks a lot, but does this mean that upgrading from karmic to lucid killed my hope to get compiz work? [23:28] ethana3: I see crippled bioses on HPs a lot... [23:28] ethana3: f12 on your laptop to change boot order [23:28] ethana3: just looked it up [23:28] ethana3: try gogeta's suggestion... [23:28] gogeta: I am the team contact of Ubuntu nebraska. I have been hacking on this laptop using adapters, other toshiba satellites, and the sysrq key for about a month now [23:29] I managed to make it work on karmic before, but since i upgraded to 10.04 i have some troubles [23:29] cannadark: No, your card is most likely supported by the "ati" driver. Try removing (or temporarily renaming) your /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that everything is auto detected. [23:29] sardonyx: ok, so what I really need is to change my default runlevel. like from 2 (default on ubuntu) to 3. the thing is that 2 to 5 are equal on ubuntu, and the "way" I found on Ubuntu forums doesn't really work on 10.04 because the files don't match. Any clue? [23:29] !boot | tetermy [23:29] does anyone know of a good howto for getting the wireless drivers patched to use with aircrack? [23:30] Jordan_U: ok, i'll give it a try, thanks again [23:30] donavan01: Almost all of the drivers shipped with Ubuntu support aircrack by default IIRC [23:30] Can anyone help me? I'm dual-booting XP and 10.04 NBR. I had XP installed originally. I just need help deleting my XP partition then resize ubuntu to use my whole hard drive. [23:30] can i get pidgin 2.7.0 packages somewhere [23:30] cannadark: You're welcome. [23:30] donavan01, aircrack website ~ [23:30] jordan_u will the do packet injection ... I know a lot of them will do sniffing but not injecting ? [23:31] !boot | tetermy [23:31] Did ubottu die? I don't see any response to !boot.... [23:31] ethana3: they also say to use acpi=off in linux to avoide wifi and usb conflicts [23:31] Any good youtube downloader , with GUI ? [23:31] tetermy, please see my private message [23:31] donavan01, that will probably depend on your hardware [23:31] Slart, U R awesom. /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules does indeed have entries for motherboard LAN I disabled and the card I added. Can I just remove this and reboot,? Is there a way to force udev to rescane while running Ubuntu? [23:31] guys i dont have a connect to pc button in my ubunto one [23:31] alket firefox has some good plugins for that [23:32] alket: why not just get a youtube downloader firefox addon? [23:32] ethana3: your pc it pretty well documented [23:32] gogeta: the A45-S121? [23:32] skierpage: I'm not sure if you can force it to rescan.. but it scans every time you boot.. so remove those lines (or just comment them out) and reboot and it should redetect them [23:32] is there a command to show all the open ports on the computer? [23:32] dancek ... yeah thats what im trying to find out but the wikis and howtos from aircrack are kryptic [23:32] ,,,, [23:33] ethana3: yep you cant change the boot order in the bios but you can use f12 and acpi=off stops the wifi and usb conflicts [23:33] donavan01, Happehwalrus: can you please give me a link ? Does it convert to mp3 ? [23:33] skierpage: I meant.. "I'm not sure if you can force it to rescan without rebooting" [23:33] skierpage: you could always try sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart [23:33] ethana3: its like my c610 [23:33] donavan01, that's a general problem with open source software and hardware: often no one's tested so no one knows [23:33] alket: one minute. [23:33] lucid_lynx: ufw status [23:33] ok, forced a grub install on /dev/sda1 using blocklists.. [23:33] alket ... just go to tools and click addons in firefox and search for youtube downloader ... flv files I think [23:34] stuNNed: it doesn't work ... [23:34] so at least I won't have to time alt-sysrq-i perfectly every bootup just to get to the terminal [23:34] dancek: that happens with closed source software too. Sometimes it's worse... [23:34] lucid_lynx: sudo ufw status [23:34] I need to force the OS on this hard drive to always boot from VESA [23:34] guys i dont have a "Add this Computer button" in my ubuntu one [23:34] ... [23:34] arghh [23:34] ethana3: and i see no issues with grub being on the mbr [23:34] gogeta: this bios ignores the MBR. [23:34] Loshki, that's true too, but maybe not so much with hardware drivers :P [23:34] stuNNed: I said *it doesn't work* - and by that I mean that it wasn't what I was looking for (it just said "status: inactive" [23:34] ethana3: maybe for some reasion ubuntu may not be installing it [23:34] dancek ... yeah its the bain of the linux world [23:35] gogeta: 'cause I installed over USB from a different machine [23:35] since _nothing_ works *on* the laptop in question, due to this same problem [23:35] Is it possible to make my home sub-directories lowercase? i.e. change Desktop->desktop, Downloads->downloads, etc? [23:35] * dancek is running a macbook pro w/ os x... it's a different world :P [23:35] but now it's got grub in the MBR and boot partition [23:35] alket: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13990/ [23:36] I'm going to shut down, disconnect this, put it in the other laptop and see if I can get to a recovery terminal and be back from my X-25M [23:36] Happehwalrus Thank you so much [23:36] lucid_lynx: then you can try sudo netstat -tupan [23:36] please PM if you know how [23:36] ethana3: if the bios ignores the mbr, how does it boot *anything*? [23:36] alket: You're welcome. [23:36] stuNNed: well, it was netstat I was looking for [23:36] nick luke [23:36] Hi === luke is now known as Guest20814 [23:37] name Luke [23:37] Jordan_U: it worked! I was so afraid to loose my old configuration that i didn't want to try a new one. Seems like X11 auto configuration has made a great work! [23:37] wher will the next UDS be? [23:37] Loshki: There are some *extremely* broken BIOSs that actually look for the boot flag in the partition table and chainload that partition, which is what Microsoft's MBR code does, rather than executing the MBR itself. [23:37] cannadark: :) [23:38] Jordan_U: wow, that's nasty. I never imagined... [23:38] I can't get my pcspeaker to work [23:38] any ideas? [23:38] ? [23:38] Loshki, FYI that init.d command-line suggests `service udev restart` or just `restart udev`. But all three leave my eth0,1 names alone. Rebooting... [23:39] clear [23:39] Guest20814: I preferred it when you were named luke. Just ask a question... [23:39] cpod: if you do that, edit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs accordingly [23:39] awesome, thanks! [23:40] VCoolio: i appreciate it [23:40] skierpage: well, it was worth a try before rebooting... [23:40] gogeta: it just boots whatever's on the boot partition, no matter what [23:40] gogeta: the only way to boot the thing from a CD is to physically remove the hard drive [23:40] ethana3: gogeta: right, see Jordan_U's message above about broken bioses... [23:40] Loshki: what message? [23:40] I just rebooted [23:41] cpod: no problem, hope all ends well [23:41] Is there a Lucid boot option to show debug output during boot rather than the splash screen? [23:41] ethana3: "....There are some *extremely* broken BIOSs that actually look for the boot flag in the partition table and chainload that partition, which is what Microsoft's MBR code does, rather than executing the MBR itself...." -- Jordan_U [23:41] Loshki: exactly what's going on here [23:41] I just need to make the OS on it *work* though, by forcing it to use VESA [23:42] when I can't actually boot off of it in the machine I want to end up in [23:42] Can anyone point me to a 'clean' method of removing PulseAudio? [23:42] Can anyone help me delete XP off of my ubuntu-XP dualboot? [23:42] when I go to burn a small video from my camera in .avi format I get error I need mplex for gstream. I am using ubuntu 10.04, where can I get this? I didn't see this in package manager [23:42] zer0x: which os release? [23:42] Loshki: Lucid [23:42] how can i use ubuntu one if its missing from the panel? i can't get it added back :/ [23:42] how do I use netstat to only display the ports that are listening for connections (servers)? [23:42] Happehwalrus: fire up gparted and turn your xp partition into a useful ext4 one [23:43] ciao [23:43] !list [23:43] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [23:43] So it's just as easy as that? [23:43] skierpage: you need to set that in grub [23:43] format my ntfs partition to ext4? [23:43] when I go to burn a small video from my camera in .avi format I get error I need mplex for gstream. I am using ubuntu 10.04, where can I get this? I didn't see this in package manager [23:43] zer0x: not exactly what you asked for, but this worked for me in lucid: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala [23:43] Happehwalrus, why format? [23:43] i need help to reeinstall my grub plz help [23:43] Hil. I am having trouble with a French translation of Ubuntu that does not go away. Any ideas on how to completely restore English? [23:44] Because I wish to rid of XP. [23:44] VCoolio, yup, so Do I just remove the "quiet" line from the boot commands or add something like MEGA_DEBUG VERBOSE [23:44] !grub2 | subspider [23:44] subspider: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:44] It's not needed. [23:44] emeute: remove all other languages and reinstall inglish¿ [23:44] skierpage: remove quiet splash and enter 'text' if I remember correctly [23:44] dancek, I did the rm. Thanks. I'll see how it goes. Peace. [23:44] how do I modify kernel parameters on a hard drive that I can't run until the parameters are in place? [23:44] is there some file I can edit? [23:45] Jordan_U, my problem is had ubuntu intalled i made the upgrade [23:45] xangua: I've tried but little things, like in Nautilus still have French while most programs have English. [23:45] good night to all [23:45] Loshki: cheers for the info, I really need to remove it though, sounds works.. just badly! [23:45] ethana3: Hold shift during boot and edit them by selecting the menu entry and pressing 'e' [23:45] Jordan_U, now i can't boot [23:45] PulseAudio is a royal Pain In The A$$! [23:45] emeute, reboot [23:45] lucid_lynx: something like: netstat -an | egrep -i listen [23:45] Happehwalrus: ntfs support on linux is rather poor, turn it into ext if it's going to be linux-only [23:45] Jordan_U: grub never executes on it. [23:45] and it never will [23:45] I just need to get linux to run with a force vesa parameter [23:45] Jordan_U, plz help me [23:46] ethana3: What do you mean? Did you press ctrl+x? [23:46] I'm having trouble working tail, what do I put to display all but the last 6 characters of something? [23:46] Jordan_U: when? [23:46] zer0x: you could also try: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html [23:46] what's that program that creates an ubuntu project again? [23:46] how can i use ubuntu one if its missing from the panel? i can't get it added back :/ [23:46] conb123, tail work with lines [23:46] it like creates a basic python gtk project for ubuntu [23:46] ethana3: After pressing 'e' and changing the kernel parameters [23:46] subspider: Do you have a liveCD? [23:46] Jordan_U: grub cannot run [23:46] drizzt_: Ah maybe cut is what I want then? [23:46] the bios will _never_ run grub [23:46] at all [23:46] anyone even know where I can get Gstream mplex package? I need it to burn movie file I get error saying I need that plugin [23:46] conb123: you want to chop off the last 6 characters of something? Of what? [23:46] subspider: What kind of partition and OS setup are you on? [23:47] Loshki: A cat output [23:47] arand yes i do [23:47] ethana3: If grub isn't working I don't understand how modifying kernel parameters is goind to help anything. [23:47] arand, i'm talking on another pc [23:47] I managed to alt+sysrq+i the thing at the *exact* right moment booting up once [23:47] guys i dont have a "Add this Computer button" in my ubuntu one [23:47] and used sudo dhclient to get it on a wired network and upgrade [23:47] but now X starts too fast to catch it [23:47] I can't get my pcspeaker to work in ubuntu [23:47] arand i have a live cd of 10.04 [23:48] Hey. I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a Windows 7 operating system. I have downloaded the i384 or w/e for intel processors. I installed the ISO to a disk, and every time I try run it, it tries to download the AMD64 iso file. I know my cpu is Intel core 2 duo T8300, so why is it trying to download amd file? [23:48] conb123: it's an odd request. Can you say more about what you're doing. Maybe there's another way... [23:48] subspider: Is it a windows/ubuntu dual-boot? [23:48] Loshki: ah, I forget this is probably going to want to remove ubuntu-desktop! aaargh! [23:48] ethana3: Have you tried holding shift during boot? [23:48] Jordan_U: I need to modify a kernel image to include parameters [23:48] arand yes it was dual boot [23:48] Jordan_U: I'll go ahead and give that a try now [23:48] ethana3, of course Bios runs grub [23:48] zer0x: it didn't when I ran it, but that wasn't on lucid. I do sympathize however... [23:48] holy cow [23:48] arand but if i can get to linux loaded then i can put my windows [23:48] shift actually works [23:48] Loshki: haha sorry, it's for use in conky, I want to get the version of ubuntu from /etc/issue but cut off the \n \l at the end [23:49] does anyone know how to reduce the spacing between icons on the indicator applet on lucid? [23:49] ethana3, or Linux boots by freaking fairies? [23:49] subspider: Ok, and at the moment when you switch it on nothing happens? or does it do anything? [23:49] VCoolio, FWIW I edited the commands, changed "quiet" to "text" and pressed 'b' to boot, but every time after 15 seconds of blank screen I went back to BIOS then boot menu.. Oh well [23:49] I've never heard of using shift to bring up grub before [23:49] Loshki: I have had nothing but problems with PulseAudio, plain ALSA has always served me well! :D [23:49] that's good though that it doesn't waste three seconds waiting for you to hit escape anymore [23:49] zer0x: likewise... [23:49] ethana3: It's new and Ubuntu specific [23:49] this is the first time I have seen grub running on this laptop since obtaining it a month ago [23:50] arand my grub is like lost i can't boot to any system [23:50] Jordan_U: now that I know what's going on a little bit, I think I like it [23:50] Anyone up for helping me a little? Having trouble installing ubuntu 10.04 [23:50] subspider: So, boot from the liveCD and go into "Try ubuntu" [23:50] conb123: try: cat /etc/issue| sed 's/ \\n \\l//' [23:50] * ethana3 modifies boot parameter [23:50] arand ok [23:50] davidov009: ok [23:50] hello [23:50] davidov009: what's the problem exactly? [23:50] Hello [23:50] Loshki: Thanks but "cat /etc/issue | cut -b 1-16" did the trick [23:50] davidov009, if your computer supports 64 bit then it should indeed use the amd64 file. It's confusing. [23:50] subspider: It was a normal dual-boot and not a wubi install I take it? [23:50] Ah well, time to start screwing with the default install again! [23:50] Why wont Hardy play MP3s? I have downloaded the codecs, sound works when booting up , youtube works but no mp3s [23:50] conb123: lsb_release -a [23:51] Wouldn't that screw something up? [23:51] * zer0x tempted to move to a Pulse-Less OS! [23:51] How can I get log files? [23:51] jesi: look in /var/log [23:51] conb123: yes, but mine is better, because it makes no assumptions about the lengths of the strings... [23:51] zer0x: ah yes Pulseaudio issues [23:51] VCoolio: I really just need to just completely get rid of XP on my ubuntu-XP dual boot then let ubuntu use the space XP was using before. [23:51] I can't get my pcspeaker to work in ubuntu any ideas [23:51] Loshki: Yeah that's true, thanks [23:51] arand what is wubi ?? sorry [23:51] I mean. I'm having a problem and I want to get like a general log file of the problems [23:52] davidov009 AMD came up with 64-bit extensions first, but Intel's are compatible. It shoulld work fine. [23:52] sebsebseb: Its painful! :/ [23:52] Ok. I'll try that. [23:52] I had XP installed originally. [23:52] Gdesklet took a update in 10.04 and stoped working [23:52] zer0x: with Mandriva and I guess PC Linux OS as well, can easilly disable in the control centre, without any issues after woulds [23:52] subspider: Installing "inside" windows, i.e. not installing ubuntu when booted from the CD. [23:52] Downloading that file will take 2 hours though.... lol. SLOW connections. [23:52] I just need to be assured nothing will get messed up. [23:52] bastidrazor: How do I do that? [23:53] subspider: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD has a guide on how to do the reinstall of grub, tell if there are any problems. [23:53] Happehwalrus: I understand that; but it will take just 5 minutes to turn that partition into ext3/4 and xp will be wiped and the space ready to use with better results than with ntfs [23:53] davidov009 , bittorrent should get you the file a little faster. [23:53] zer0x: shame it's not as easy as that, with Ubuntu, really [23:53] jesi: browse there in nautilus or cli and open the files there [23:53] Jordan_U: how do I get grub to save the boot parameters? [23:53] So, will there ever be a file specifically built for intel 64 bit processors? [23:53] And, I'm running bit comet already. [23:53] thnk you arand [23:53] sebsebseb: Ubuntu should definately add such a feature! I dread to think how many peoples ubuntu experience is ruined by PulseAudio! [23:53] how do I install JAVA in Lucid? [23:53] ethana3: Change them in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" [23:54] I can't get my pcspeaker to work in ubuntu any ideas [23:54] sebsebseb: possibly permanently! [23:54] arand if i have problems i can tell you?? [23:54] zer0x: yep pulse audio issues since 8.04, when they put Pulseaudio in Ubuntu [23:54] venik212, you go to orcale site [23:54] Why wont Hardy play MP3s? I have downloaded the codecs, sound works when booting up , youtube works but no mp3s [23:54] !java > venik212 you'll need to enable the partner repository [23:54] venik212, please see my private message [23:54] sebsebseb: I've had it installed on about 6 different machines since the beginning with problems on every one! [23:54] subspider: Sure, or to the channel in general if I'm not still herer [23:55] bastidrazor: I'm new to the Linux world. Could you be more specific [23:55] john romero's website (rome.ro) has some wicked malware infestation... that gets by firefox and adblock plus [23:55] sebsebseb: I thought, ah well, give it a chance... its been toooo long! I quit :/ [23:55] zer0x: right so quit for another distro, where you can easilly disable it :) [23:55] bast- could u please resend your message? thanks [23:55] skierpage: it appears 'text' is not necessary, just remove quiet splash (or just quiet to have splash with condensed output) [23:56] sebsebseb: I really don't want to have to do that, but I am not happy about screwing around with the base install.. there should be no need! [23:56] jesi: Places > Computer > File System > var > log double click a file [23:56] zer0x: well the two I mentioned are more user friendly than Ubuntu really [23:56] Slart, rebooting did get udev to make the Linksys card eth0. But still no network, `nm-tool` says State: unmanaged, Default: no. [23:56] zer0x: and you can run most of the same apps on those as well [23:57] zer0x: its not that I am wanting a friendly distro, just one that does not *force* you to use PulseAudio! [23:57] bastidrador- could u please resend your message? thanks [23:57] zer0x: I am tempted to switch to Arch! [23:57] so the 'default' boot parameters don't actually apply to any of the grub entries? [23:57] zer0x: uhmm [23:57] ok, I am talking to myself :) [23:57] sebsebseb: doh [23:57] zer0x: Arch is not an easy distro to use [23:57] sun java runtime where is it located [23:57] i need to tell an app to point to its binary [23:57] ethana3: I don't understand your question. [23:57] zer0x: with Arch you would have to spend quite awhile getting it set up, before you can actsaully use it [23:57] anyone even know where I can get Gstream mplex package? I need it to burn movie file I get error saying I need that plugin [23:58] Jordan_U: I changed that file and updated grub, all the entries are the same as before [23:58] adubz: jre in synaptic [23:58] Is there a way to force a 64-bit compatible system down to a 32-bit install on Ubuntu 10.04? [23:58] sebsebseb: nope, not compared to ubuntu at least, but pulse would be at my discretion! [23:58] zer0x: don't go Arch, because of a pule audio issue! [23:58] dbum i mena where is it at on my linux box i need to have a file open it and its not in menu [23:58] i updated menu but not there i know its installed [23:58] The Kubuntu ethernet systray thing shows an unplugged cable and tooltip says "Network Management disabled". Hmm. [23:58] ethana3: Could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [23:58] zer0x: you have to enable basic things in Arch, that most distro's have by default [23:58] sebsebseb: zer0x: doesn't Arch use pulseaudio too? [23:58] It doen't add a link in the menu.... you have to open from terminal [23:58] !java > venik212 you'll need to enable the partner repository [23:58] venik212, please see my private message [23:59] dbum [23:59] whats the command to open it [23:59] bastidrazor: I think Ubuntu is very different from Xubuntu. How can I change to Xubuntu channel? [23:59] Jordan_U: it may take me a while to figure out how to do it from the command line again [23:59] zer0x, FWIW I was able to remove all traces of Pulseaudio using packagekit. [23:59] sebsebseb: thats fine, I just would rather have nice friendly ubuntu. I don't believe so, I would imagine you configure the sound system manually.. [23:59] !pastebinit | ethana3 [23:59] ethana3: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:59] adubz: I'm not totally sure..... I think it's just java filename [23:59] Jordan_U: I've used pastebinit, is it in universe now? [23:59] zer0x: the two distros I mentioned earlier, you should try
