[00:00] Agu10: most of them even [00:00] midnightd: oki, then I can't really help you, sounds like a driver issue. [00:00] sebsebseb: for example this one is nvidia's [00:00] Agu10: yes [00:00] sebsebseb: but neither is windows BSOD then... [00:00] coz_: i never used gui to mount/umount i allways use umount /media/drive/ name [00:00] Agu10: and if they had an open source driver that you could install :) probably [00:00] LinuX2half : works more than anticipated. [00:00] Agu10: no if you get a BSOD in Windows [00:00] Reign25: go here and download the 32 or 64 bit package for your box [00:00] http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [00:00] Agu10: it means something major has happended [00:00] Gartral, right but many use gui so :) [00:00] Agu10: could be a virus, could be a bad driver, could be failing hardware [00:01] swedemike: weird. nothing changed between yesterday and today. thanks anyways [00:01] sebsebseb: yeah... lol [00:01] acerimmer: How would I install it? [00:01] Agu10: Blue Screen Of Death is kind of funny though, how Windows is meant to be all user friendly, and then people will sometimes get that, and most people don't know what it means [00:01] There's nothing wrong with Brasero except for giving error of burning images [00:01] Hi im a developer, How can i get my application accepted to the repos? [00:01] Agu10: and it will provide geek info, and make it so they can't use their computer [00:01] flyeng4, you've got to the point in the instructions where it tells you to plug it in? that should ensure it's a a device i would think. either way dmesg should help [00:01] I never get it to work properly [00:02] peturi: launchpad.net/ubuntu [00:02] hello people [00:02] coz_: can you unmount just one at a time? [00:02] Reign25: i'm ;assuming you'll usb copy it. go into root account, extract it, and I believe you'll get a *deb file. Click on that and follow prompts. [00:02] Agu10: geek info? I mean Windows fan boy info :D anyway getting off topic now [00:02] how can i disable evolution dataserver [00:02] Gartral, well if I unmount one partition they all unmount with error [00:02] i just shut down gdm and there is still a process hanging in there [00:02] So there isn't any error with the log ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/434076/ [00:02] sebsebseb: well, I still get lots of bugs while at ubuntu. I don't get them at windows, even when using the same programs [00:02] acerimmer: thank you very much. I appreciate it. [00:02] Agu10: depends on the apps [00:02] Agu10: in that case [00:03] sebsebseb: I think they might not care too much [00:03] Reign25: actually i was wrong [00:03] coz_ is this a flash drive, cd card, or hdd? [00:03] sd card* [00:03] Why isn't the ubuntu sound indicator thingymajig recognizing my onboard sound card? I know it isn't my board, because I have the same issue with two different boards. I have no sound at all [00:03] Reign25: you're going to have to use the command line for a bit but it's all documented in the readme.txt [00:03] philw: the only line in the tail of dmesg that has anything to do with usb is usb0: unregister 'cdc_ether' usb-0000:00:1d.7-2, CDC Ethernet Device. Does it make sense to you? [00:03] okay, I'll install one more burning tool [00:03] that'll total to three [00:03] sebsebseb: I get 1 error out of 5 programs I install. is that acceptable? [00:03] ps -ef shows that my "X" process is called with "-nolisten tcp". What file do I change to eliminate that? [00:03] I've to uninstall the other two [00:03] Agu10: depends on the program, and the error [00:04] hah? [00:04] Gartral, this is the error when unmounting one partition http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/unmount%20error [00:04] flyeng4, looks like that is your device. try "ifconfig usb0" [00:04] Gartral, this is a harddrive [00:04] Agu10: also most programs install just fine for me, from the Ubuntu repo, or well I use Mandriva as well these days, and the programs from their repos work good as well [00:05] hi people [00:05] Agu10: so if your getting an error, every five programs you install in to Ubuntu, something is wrong [00:05] philw: usb0: error fetching interface information: Device not found [00:05] does the normal 32-bit version of ubuntu also work on netbooks? [00:05] UEC installation (frontend) will not install on clean 64bit machine, wiping everything. Problem seems to be that postfix will not install and subsequently crashes grub at startup. Any clues? [00:05] coz_: use normal pastebin, i dont know how to read .drvimg [00:05] the normal one, not the netbook edition [00:05] acerimmer: Oh alright. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm somewhat familiar with Linux, but not too much. Thanks again. I'll try that tonight. [00:05] id like to use the normal interface instead of the Remix! [00:05] Gartral, oh I thought I pasted the dropbox file hold on [00:05] how do I tell ubuntu to recognize my sound card? [00:05] kroson, sure it does [00:05] kroson: yes [00:06] kroson: how much space does your net book have? hard disk space? [00:06] ^^LTS 10.04 [00:06] hwo might i disconnect a remote ssh session from the server side.. pts/2 ? [00:06] bazhang: but are there any changes in the kernel? [00:06] What vb.net 2010 came with difrent that 2008 [00:06] !flash [00:06] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:06] Gartral, http://pastebin.com/MmAKyPZD [00:06] or the hardware will work fine too? [00:06] its an eee 901 [00:06] kroson, from 9.10? [00:06] kroson: i installed the regular release on an hp netbook with a 16GB hard drive and i am pleased with it [00:06] hoglahoo: if you provided what kind of sound card you have, someone might be able to give you an answer. [00:07] flyeng4, sounds like the device is not setup right yet. was that with it plugged in I take it :) [00:07] it's a realtek onboard [00:07] Gdesklet work for anyone on 10.04? [00:07] sebsebseb: and the fonts will look fine? i want to have a normal interface but i want to browse the web and check mail in evolution normally XD [00:07] hm, taking a long time [00:07] I took upgrade and it will not work [00:07] flyeng4, not setup right in the sense that further work is needed on the beagle [00:07] hi [00:07] kroson: I tried netbook remix 10.04, in a vm, didn't install to my virtual hard disk. anyway you got the log in screen yeah? [00:07] hoglahoo: use "lshw" and find exactly what model it is. [00:08] hoglahoo: sudo lshw -C sound [00:08] a development version that was. and they disappeared, ah well [00:09] SwedeMike: ac '97 [00:09] hoglahoo: that should work out of the box, you should look into dmesg output and see if you can find something there. [00:09] If you are editing a file with cat, how can you up go back up a line in bash? [00:09] bastid_raZor: sudo netstat -anpt , search pid and kill it. That's what i do. [00:09] I've got mini.iso and I just installed xserver-xorg on it - how do I set up a minimal X server so I can open graphical apps if I need to but I can spend most of my time in console? [00:10] it worked out of the box for 2 years. then i upgraded to 10.04 from 9.04 and it has not worked properly since [00:10] Is there an interpreter for dmesg output? :) [00:10] ph1g: edit files with cat? how? [00:10] philw: yes but not booted :) [00:11] I now have a usb0 device [00:11] Redirection [00:11] heg: nice, thank you. [00:11] philw: sorry about that, I unplugged it and plugged it back in to make sure I captured it in dmesg but forgot to boot the device [00:11] cat < name_of_file line1 line2 [00:11] ph1g: wouldn't really call that "edit", but ok... moving up a line, I don't think that can be done. [00:12] philw: anyway, I have a usb0, what do you recommned now [00:13] SwedeMike: i now have a usb0 device showing up in ifconfig if you have any poinrters [00:13] heg: i cleary need to touch up my netstat skills [00:13] max101: k3b gave me an error [00:13] s/cleary/clearly [00:13] LinuX2half : Output please. [00:13] philw: see http://pastebin.com/LY2rGRpg [00:13] bastid_raZor, :) [00:14] max101: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434082/ [00:14] flyeng4: what did you want to accomplish again? just talk to the device at the other end? [00:14] Slart http://paste.ubuntu.com/434069/ [00:14] Hi there . i duno if is it the right place to ask this question , but Can somone tell me where can i find linux version that have no mode graghic [00:14] :) [00:14] SwedeMike: thanks, but I don't think I am finding anything with dmesg output that will help my solve the issue on my own. I appreciate it though, maybe I can use that to find something on the google [00:14] noname: "no mode graphics" ? [00:14] SwedeMike: access the internet through the package manager on the device [00:14] As I always dreaded the situation to be like this [00:14] flyeng4, this is where I bow out... you need to set up an ip address on usb0 which is appropriate to talk to the device [00:14] umm I want to install this so I can renistall another distro can anyone help [00:15] On another note, I need some help with GRUB ... the autodetecting is a bit misaligned. [00:15] I have Karmic on another partition, but when it's autodetected by the os-prober, the root= value is wrong. [00:15] It's the correct root= partition for my Lucid install, but if I want to start Karmic I have to edit the grub entry each time. [00:15] noname: use server version LTS? [00:15] philw: thanks for your help thus far [00:15] * k1ng\ <3 k1ngdom.net [00:15] flyeng4: oki, then you need to set IP adress in the same subnet as the device with the same netmask (use ifconfig usb0 netmask ), then add default route to the device IP [00:15] hola [00:15] ; [00:15] alguien habla español [00:15] !es | hackerbat2009 [00:15] hackerbat2009: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[00:17] is there a wine-specific support channel or should i just ask my question in here? [00:17] Fozo, using the whole disk? [00:17] corey, #winehq [00:17] no [00:17] what do I do to fix a "Could not download all repository indexes" error when trying to update? [00:17] Fozo: Which other distro? [00:17] oh yah a partiton of the drivw [00:17] Mint [00:17] bazhang, tyvm [00:17] Fozo, explain clearly what you wish to do, all on one line [00:17] Fozo: ah right [00:18] Fozo: ok delete the Mint partition [00:18] syme: double check your software source settings [00:18] LinuX2half : Reduce the write speed 2x instead. (looks like buffer error) [00:18] Fozo, you wish to install Mint? [00:18] Why isn't the ubuntu sound indicator recognizing my onboard sound card? I know it isn't my board, because I have the same issue with two different boards. I cannot get any sound to play [00:18] Fozo: get any data off it first of course, if you got something on there you want to keep [00:18] Sorry if I missed any response ... was lagged out. [00:18] bazhang: no he wants to replace Mint, with Ubuntu [00:18] I have Karmic on another partition, but when it's autodetected by the os-prober, the root= value in the grib.cfg is wrong. === proftpd is now known as jacekowski [00:19] Fozo: download the Ubuntu ISO, ideally check you got a good download, then burn contents of ISO to CD. boot computer up from it, install Ubuntu [00:19] !md5sum > Fozo [00:19] Fozo, please see my private message [00:19] SwedeMike: I can now ping the laptop from the device but I can't ping google [00:19] Fozo: delete the Mint partition on the Ubuntu Live CD, so you can install Ubuntu [00:19] guys...if i run UNR from an external HDD, will it kill the drive?? [00:19] Okay I have two issues one I can't boot into to windows and am working on fixing it. But I can not even load into Mint anymore I had Ubuntu live cd laying around so I figured I could install this and see if I could boot windows [00:19] flyeng4: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [00:19] or are they robust (as an internal HDD?) [00:20] max101: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434085/ [00:20] SwedeMike: no [00:20] Oh well ... connection's dropping off again. [00:20] Fozo: any idea why? [00:20] flyeng4: is the device you're trying to connect thru, doing NAT for you? [00:20] max101: it doesn't reach to 2x only to 4x [00:20] Fozo: maybe you already had Mint on there, and then re installed Windows? [00:20] Windows or mingt? [00:20] mint* [00:20] flyeng4: what happens if you do traceroute 8.8.8.8, do you at least get to the first device? [00:20] Mint I have a guess [00:21] Fozo: if you put Ubuntu on, it will do Grub again for you, but Ubuntu doing it this time, not Mint [00:21] SwedeMike: no -- "Can't find interface" [00:21] Fozo: then Ubuntu and Windows should both boot up [00:21] SwedeMike: but i can still ping 0.1 [00:21] flyeng4: so I guess you didn't add a default route? [00:21] Fozo: What happens at the moment when you turn on the computer? [00:21] I installed a driver and restarted it boots and loads then instead of log in screen I h=get a blank screen [00:21] SwedeMike: probably not ... how do I do that [00:22] anyone here that can recommend me a way to copy files recursively with ddrescue? [00:22] Fozo: A driver for what? [00:22] SwedeMike: I added 192.168.0.1 to resolve.conf [00:22] Nvida [00:22] Fozo: also in WIndows or Mint? [00:22] oh Nivida driver [00:22] ok [00:22] Mint was the driver [00:22] hrm [00:22] sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:23] LinuX2half : You are burning the disk at 4x its giving you errors; reduce the speed to 2x instead. [00:24] max101: its the lowest as it can go [00:24] syme: icu. wait 1 [00:24] Fozo: 1. download Ubuntu ISO 2. md5sum check it at least, so you know you have a good ISO 3. burn contents of ISO to CD. 4. boot computer from CD. 5. install Ubuntu and whilst doing so delete the Mint partition and put Ubuntu on. oh and can do seperate /home even whilst doing that, makes future re installs easier [00:25] okay umm now can you walk me through installation process? [00:25] syme: main repos must be enabled. Typically i just enable all repositories as my distro is fairly standard. [00:25] LinuX2half : Please see the output : 69 [00:25] you install ubuntu on a seperate partition on same hard drive and have a dual boot system [00:25] Fozo: oh yeah you already had an Ubuntu CD [00:25] Fozo: are you booted up from it? [00:25] yah [00:25] acerimmer, that is what I have I believe... you're talking about the universe/multiverse stuff? those checkboxes? [00:25] SwedeMike: I can atleast see my own card but now I get .... 1 * * * \n 2 * * * ... [00:25] Fozo: Which version? === Nicholas is now known as Guest10840 [00:25] 10.4 tls [00:26] Fozo: ok [00:26] max101: yes?

[00:26] LTS sorry [00:26] syme: correct. [00:26] Fozo: open installer follow it through, letters and numbers at least for account password and reasonably long :) so it's reasnably secure. when it gets to partitions tell me [00:26] Fozo: ok you sure it's 10.04 LTS? so yeah the current latest release [00:27] ok guys I got samba share issues [00:27] flyeng4: that's weird, I would have thought you would at least get to the first IP correctly. sure you put in the correct IP there in the route? could you pastebin "ip -4 r l" and "ip -4 a l" from both devices? [00:27] max101: it starts at 4x because this is the lowest speed that it supports from my cD [00:27] [ 3983.961452] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 162 mid 32215 [00:27] yes according to my install icon [00:27] Fozo: ok [00:27] anybody see thiis error before?

[00:30] http://imagebin.ca/view/9pBKRMtD.html here ya go [00:30] I just upgraded to 10.04 and when I attempt to boot normally, the machine eventually stops doing anything, just displaying the Xubuntu logo. Alt-sysrq doesn't work. [00:30] flyeng4: hm, why did you not provide ip -4 a l as I asked ? [00:30] sebsebseb: I'm downloading 9.10 [00:30] max101: are you still with me? [00:31] what is a good forum or chanel that could tell be the best wireless headset/headphones i could buy [00:31] SwedeMike: sorry I only saw the r l [00:31] flyeng4: and you need to disable wifi if you're going to access via the usb0, you have two default routes on the computer [00:31] LinuX2half : yes [00:32] SwedeMike: http://pastebin.com/sEqnWqcY [00:32] Can anybody help me figure out at what point during the boot it hangs? [00:32] SwedeMike: can I disable the LAN instead? [00:32] Fozo: uhmm I didn't need to see that [00:32] Fozo: anyway yeah at the bottom [00:32] flyeng4: why did you default route to yourself instead of to the other end IP ? [00:32] max101: alright, then should there be an issue with the driver or something else the matter? [00:33] Fozo: manual install option, do next on that. and tell or show me, what partitions you got on there [00:33] LinuX2half : what are you using pc or laptop? [00:33] SwedeMike: I thought that the other end IP meant the other end of the cable not the other end of the network [00:33] max101: laptop [00:33] SwedeMike: "*/8 * * * * php /home/www/verslwk.com/test.php" is this the correct sintax for a cronjob executing each 8 minutes? [00:33] I just thought it would be easier. Do you want to switch to whisper? [00:33] psssst hey [00:33] flyeng4: hm, sorry, you have to remove the default routes out over both wifi and eth0 if you want to run internet over your usb0 [00:33] Fozo: by the way, before you install, you didn't go with encrypted home I hope :) [00:33] LinuX2half : laptop ? which one. [00:33] Fozo: if so don't do that [00:34] max101: Vaio VGN B100B UC [00:34] encyrpted home? [00:34] SwedeMike: also when I do ip -4 r a default via 192.168.1.1 I get RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable [00:34] Fozo: yeah there's an option, but it's not the default :) [00:34] in which menu? or page? [00:34] Fozo: maybe you haven't seen it yet. anyway you don't want that [00:35] SwedeMike: How do i disable eth0 and wifi? [00:35] LinuX2half : did you check the HCL with ubuntu? [00:35] flyeng4: but you have 192.168.0.0/24 set on usb0, why are you trying to default route via 192.168.1.1 ? [00:35] flyeng4: right-click on network icon [00:35] flyeng4: oh... you're in debian? [00:35] Fozo: what partitions does it tell you you have? [00:35] max101: I definitely did not. I do not know the term [00:35] is there a music player that will play songs from archive zip or rar files like foobar2000 can in windows? [00:35] hold on [00:36] ZenGuy311: not sure, but you can run foobar2000 in Wine [00:36] does this work: https://68.5.244.72/ it is apache2 [00:36] LinuX2half : Hardware compatibility list [00:36] SwedeMike: I set 0.0 on usb0 because I thoght it had to be the same as the device 0.202 [00:36] max101: no, I haven't check any of those lists [00:36] http://imagebin.ca/view/TMZJyW.html [00:37] sebsebseb: I'm running jolicloud which is based on ubuntu jaunty 9.04, foobar2000 jitters sometimes when I play music [00:37] flyeng4: oki, so you need to default route to 192.168.0.202 and remove all other default routes [00:37] ZenGuy311: well maybe #winehq can help you get it working better in Wine [00:38] SwedeMike: how do I do that? [00:38] http://imagebin.ca/view/TMZJyW.html [00:38] Fozo: ok that looks a bit odd in a way [00:38] Fozo: well the names of the partitions and that [00:38] why? [00:38] flyeng4: ip -4 r a default via 192.168.0.202 then "ip -4 r d default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 " and "ip -4 r d default dev eth0" [00:39] Fozo: /dev/mapper stuff [00:39] what wireless headpones/headset can i buy that will be compatible with ubuntu [00:39] i dunno [00:39] how can i check if a crontab is running? [00:39] Fozo: ok well [00:39] mint thing prob [00:39] dexter_: wireless how? bluetooth? [00:39] Fozo: ntfs is Windows [00:39] Fozo: so you leave those alone [00:39] SwedeMike: will my laptop be able to access the internet after doing this? [00:39] EzeQL: You mean in general? or "right now"? or what? [00:40] yah I'm aware [00:40] max101: Still contemplating? [00:40] i have configured a cronjob but it seems its not working [00:40] Fozo: why have you got two Ext4's and one Ext3? [00:40] flyeng4: it'll access it via the beaglebox if everything works, but it wont work via any other path [00:40] how can i check it? [00:40] EzeQL: What's the line in your crontab? [00:40] SwedeMike, my desktop doesn't have a bluetough attapter plus i don't know of any good headphones that have that feture [00:40] some advice I got i dunno [00:40] dexter_: HS-1200 works in ubuntu anyway [00:40] lol fozo [00:40] */8 * * * * php /home/www/vemba.nl/test.php [00:40] LinuX2half : Vaio VGN B100B UC !!! [00:40] Fozo: that was stupid advice then by the sounds of it [00:40] that's my word today [00:41] EzeQL: Is that the last thing in your crontab? [00:41] Fozo: what is stupid? [00:41] max101: Yes that's my model. [00:41] Fozo: Do you know what each of those partitions is currently being used for? [00:41] EzeQL: yes, that should work. [00:41] SwedeMike, thanks [00:41] it was so I could have mutiple distros and a storage [00:41] SwedeMike: is there a way to get the beagleboard to access the internet trough the laptop instead of the laptop access the internet through the beagleboard? [00:41] will i nacker up my external HDD running an OS from it?? [00:41] I mean dunno [00:41] hey, a computer my mom gave me last time I went to visit my parents that was actually better than my old one only had 2 slots of ram so I could not use all my ram [00:41] so I only have a gig. [00:41] Fozo: How much RAM do you have? Which version of Windows is currently on there? [00:42] i dunno what [00:42] flyeng4: yes, but since you're running debian that might be tricky, see if you can find something about Internet Connection Sharing for your distro [00:42] EzeQL: Make sure you have a blank line afterwards. crontab lines need to have a newline at the end of them. (easiest to just hit return a couple of times, make a comment line about not putting anything below that comment, andthen hit return once more) [00:42] Fozo: hrm [00:42] I know ext 4 as Mint [00:42] Flannel, just test and worked. [00:42] the others I think have no mount [00:42] ok [00:42] SwedeMike: will do ... I will do this before I do your commands. Thanks for your help so far! [00:42] but it seems some php code its not working [00:42] first two won't work [00:42] Flannel, how can i check the output of the crontask? [00:42] Fozo: well we'll sort the partitions out [00:42] but alas [00:42] However, its slow as shit now.. Even though my old comp was a single athlon xp 2100+. This is a dual core Athlon X2 3800+. Itś MUCH slower. The main thing is that its ALWAYS thrashing the hd. I was going to get more ram.. [00:42] * Monotoko sighs.. [00:43] flyeng4: np. if you get cut off restart networking and you should be back [00:43] Iḿ talking... it will thrash for three hours straight. I installed a new distro, another distro, right now Iḿ using ubuntu studio [00:43] Fozo: How much RAM does your computer have? Which Windows? [00:43] SwedeMike: 10-4 [00:43] uhh can I check in Ubuntu I think like 4 gigs or so [00:43] Fozo: You mentioned other distro's, if you want to do that ok, but I suggest doing it in a virtual machine inside Ubuntu [00:43] Fozo: 4GB is way more than what you need for a vm [00:43] so.. I need more than a gig of ram right? well... I look at the system monitor and I only am using 59.8% of my 875 of ram (Itś being used up by onboard video) AND my swap is only using 8.4gb.. so... I feel like more ram wouldn do anything [00:43] ahh brain melt [00:43] EzeQL: Any output should be mailed to you, so check /var/spool/mail, it might be easier to just run it manually "php /var/www/whatever.php" [00:44] vm? [00:44] EzeQL: Especially while you're troubleshootnig [00:44] Fozo: virtual machine [00:44] how can I translate my mouse movement into joystick movement? there is joymouse, but it goes the opposite way [00:44] LinuX2half : http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/list/?category=Laptop [00:44] Flannel , it works manually :) [00:44] brent: how big is you swap? [00:44] oh well I just want my windows back [00:44] 1l4gb [00:44] brent: your* [00:44] but it seems it does not under a cron [00:44] but one thing at a time [00:44] Fozo: Type free in a terminal to see the amount of ram you have [00:44] stupid fricken international keyboard support [00:45] Fozo: Virtualbox :) if you haven't done that before right ok, well it's an awesome thing you can do later on. However first time to replace Mint with Ubuntu, since that's what you want. [00:45] will running ubuntu from an External shorten the external's life? IS it expected to last as long as an internal??? [00:45] max101: hm, my computer isn't listed. [00:45] ty [00:45] Fozo: right so in those Linux partitions, you have all data baked up else where? they are ready to to bye bye ? [00:45] to go [00:45] mint never did the same one I have set like this. I want to be able to use the right alt key for extra characters but now when I hit the single quote key.. nothing happens. I have to hit it like thirty times and then it prints a random character [00:45] max101: is that suppose to be an issue.? [00:46] the only data I have on Mint is a game, which I needed drivers for so no [00:46] anyway.. Iḿ just frustrated because. .. how could a dual core X2 3800+ literally be worthless to use while my old athlon 2100 XP ran seriously twice as fast [00:46] It is ready to "go bye bye" [00:46] Fozo: right so there is no data to back up? [00:46] Fozo: ok [00:46] LinuX2half : a wild guess; have you installed any other version before. [00:46] nothing I want [00:46] when it comes to pure computation power... then this one is better.. but overall proformance is WAY down. I can have more than like 2 firefox or chrome windows open with anything else or its just constant hard thrashing [00:46] Fozo: delete the Linux partitions [00:46] Monotoko: probably run slower if its usb [00:47] woah waaaahhhh why? [00:47] Fozo: hrm maybe, gparted is better to use for this, well we'll see [00:47] max101: Other version? What version are you referring to? [00:47] brent: when swapping it won't help if you have an gigacore processor from 2100, it'll still be slow because hd is slow. [00:47] mkquist_ its my only option, it has a 1GB internal memory card...i was just wondering if it would shorten its life [00:47] all o em? [00:47] Fozo: since your going to get rid of Mint completly, and then put Ubuntu on. Wel that's what I thought you wanted? [00:47] LinuX2half : Ubuntu? [00:47] Fozo: only the Linux partitions, leave NTFS alone [00:48] Monotoko: doubt it, still just a hard drive afterall [00:48] i know [00:48] okay will it transfer to empty? [00:48] how do i fix "networking disabled"? i can't use the menu to set up my network [i had to do iwconfig in a terminal] [00:48] Monotoko: what is it? [00:48] Fozo: you can keep the swap there === u is now known as Guest70990 [00:48] Fozo: that Mint made [00:48] also - grub gave me an error about could not load font or something [00:48] mkquist_, the device? An O2 Joggler (lil touchscreen device) [00:48] Fozo: in fact I suggest keeping the swap there that Mint made [00:48] max101: To make the tale short, I install Jaunty, removing Windows then upgrade to Karmic. So then attempting to upgrade to Lucid Lynx but failed terribly. So currently now came Windows again, along with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx [00:49] okay but as I delete will it go to empty space [00:49] i managed to edit grub.cfg from a livecd, but that's only a temporary fix and it didn't give me a menu it just booted to the latest kernel (when i SPECIFICALLY wanted to resume my earlier kernel) [00:49] Why isn't Ubuntu properly accessing my onboard sound? In the sound preferences, there is no hardware device available to configure [00:49] someone help? [00:49] Fozo: yes as you delete, it will g to empty space [00:49] go to [00:49] Max101: Then Windows failed as well [00:49] then I must fill! [00:49] Fozo: then your going to create two new partitions in the empty space, but we'll get to that [00:49] brent: Can you see what's eating up all the memory in your system to cause it to swap? [00:49] Fozo: delete them first [00:49] the Mint [00:49] How do I enable two 8400GS for 3 monitors in 10.04 with Nouveau? [00:50] hey hey hey I gots an ideas [00:50] oo oo [00:50] Fozo: which is? [00:50] LinuX2half : karmic is more stable; Lucid is having certain issues.. [00:51] sorry I'm lazy today with speech but, can I try and boot windows with Linux gone?/ [00:51] Fozo: Keep It Simple! [00:51] Fozo: you could, but... [00:51] max101: what issues? [00:51] max101: do you want me to elaborate the situation for you.? [00:51] but...? [00:51] Fozo: you would have to use the Windows CD, to restore it's boot loader [00:51] max101: is there a simple way to downgrade or is it hopelessly involved/ [00:51] Fozo: CD/DVD [00:51] oh! [00:51] what "sementation fauls" means? [00:51] then nvm [00:51] !downgrade | hoglahoo [00:52] hoglahoo: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [00:52] EzeQL, it means the program crashed [00:52] Fozo: cant you boot to windows with grub now? Im guessing noy [00:52] Fozo: well there is one other way, but I don't know about that [00:52] thanks [00:52] nay sir mkquist_ [00:52] mkquist_: indeed Mint seems to have messed up, Windows and Mint from booting, now he wants Ubuntu to replace Mint [00:52] okay I have a staus report on the way [00:52] Fozo: status report? [00:52] anyone else ran into either of these errors? [00:52] I bought a new USB Keyboard and XServer now sees my F1-12 keys as other keys, how can I remap them to actually match the F1-F12 keys? [00:53] Fozo: trying fixing grub? [00:53] actually, using my 9.04 live cd doesn't solve my issue either. so I am not sure what I've done. there's probably a software not properly installed [00:53] wow [00:53] this is so complex [00:53] Fozo: Ubuntu is better than Mint anyway :) [00:53] LOoL! figure of speech and can't Mint does not load [00:53] LinuX2half : were your CD's burning as expected in karmic? [00:53] anyone have any idea of how to remove a folder that is trying to sync from the u1 sync? it was marked as a child under another folder I marked to sync but I moved it and don't want to sync it [00:53] max101: No it failed as well. [00:53] Fozo: have to agree with sebsebseb on that [00:53] psusi=> "test
Segmentation fault" [00:53] psusi => "test
Segmentation fault" [00:54] this is what i get [00:54] http://imagebin.ca/view/rCTKoKLm.html [00:54] max101: NTFS partition is located at /dev/sda and Ubuntu is located at /dev/loop0 [00:55] Fozo: ok that looks ok [00:55] okay [00:55] Fozo: I am not so sure what the numbers mean though [00:55] Fozo: when it comes to sizes [00:55] 30 g [00:55] Fozo: is thar your only hd? [00:56] Fozo: which has what? [00:56] Fozo: that [00:56] Fozo: I think maybe the Mint partitions should be removed in gparted first, since manual install is rather limiting for this kind of thing [00:57] look I'm short on time and this works for me [00:57] I make one ext 3 [00:57] mkquist_: I want him to have the / for Ubuntu, but also /home :) however yeah gparted? remove Mint partitions in there first? or you got another idea by any chance? [00:57] one ext 4 [00:57] at mount / [00:57] max101: are you still here? [00:57] ext 3 mount /home [00:57] why doesn't firefox work on my machine? after I upgraded to 3.6, it worked for about 15 minutes then quit. I've purged firefox and reinstalled, but when I run the program it doesn't get any farther than "Firefox starting" and then it closes [00:57] Fozo: which one is taking up 30GB? [00:57] sebsebseb: does he have more than one hd? [00:57] sorry .. I had a phone call [00:57] brent: Can you see what's eating up all the memory in your system to cause it to swap? [00:57] LinuX2half : yes [00:57] ... nothing is eating up my ram [00:57] they are gone now [00:57] brent: Can you see what's eating up all the memory in your system to cause it to swap? [00:58] so the only question Iḿ asking... forget the hard drive or anything. This is a theoretical question. IF I am only using 56% of my physical ram and 8.4% of my swap.. then more ram shouldnt increase any proformance, correct? [00:58] Fozo: no they aren't untill you have applied properly. [00:58] Fozo: you want like 10GB or so / and big seperate /home [00:58] LinuX2half : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport. [00:58] well yah but in theory they are [00:58] I only have 875mb of ram because of the ram sticks I had (I had 2gb before in 4 sticks) [00:58] gots it! [00:58] er.. 1.5 [00:58] LinuX2half : That all my friend..sorry [00:58] Fozo: and you use Ext4 [00:58] even with 875, Iḿ only using 56% of it.. and only 8.4% of my swap [00:58] beginning or end? [00:59] Fozo: for both [00:59] Fozo: begining [00:59] Fozo: I think [00:59] well as far as I know it doesn't really matter === STiK_ is now known as STiK [00:59] gots it [00:59] I bought a new USB Keyboard and XServer now sees my F1-12 keys as other keys, how can I remap them to actually match the F1-F12 keys? [00:59] Tihs is completely linux memory management question. If Im only using 56% of 875mb of ram and 8.4% of swap, then more ram wont do anything beneficial right? [00:59] Yes, brent [00:59] brent: shouldnt [01:00] sigh [01:00] well, there goes my weekend [01:00] Swap is used to store libraries that the system think that MIGHT be used [01:00] right... [01:00] I know what swap is [01:00] i g2g I shall be back I willl leave up [01:00] sorry, Iḿ just frustrated because I was so excited to have a newer better computer [01:00] brent: if you want more speed, you need to look into processors not RAM. RAM isnt much of an issue for most people these days. Anyone with at least 1GB should be OK for most tasks. [01:00] well, wizard, faster RAM does something [01:00] Specially with IGPs [01:01] I can not figure out why a dual core X2 3800+ is worse than an athlon 2100 single core [01:01] Daekdroom: not much. [01:01] There's so much more beyond that, brent [01:01] ... yes [01:01] HD speed affects a lot of how fast your system looks [01:01] looks? [01:01] Seeks* [01:01] Yeah. Program loading time [01:01] No, looks as in "appears" [01:01] salut [01:01] First of all [01:01] vs4:/var/mail$ sudo php /home/www/barsk.nl/cronyt.php [01:01] test

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [01:02] comment je vais sur le offtopic ? [01:02] Daekdroom: how fast your system "appears" makes no sense to me. Elaborate. [01:02] brent: ubuntu 32 or 64 bit? just curious [01:02] 32 [01:02] wizard_: Well, a faster HD might give the false impression that the system is faster because it'll be more responsive when it comes to load time. [01:02] lets get back on topic please [01:02] Im not using the 64 bit version because... I couldn think of any reason to [01:02] maybe its just linux [01:02] what's the topic? [01:02] bill_torvalds, #ubuntu-offtopic [01:02] ah [01:02] ya qqun au MOINS ? [01:02] er.. fedora and debian likes [01:02] hoglahoo, ubuntu support [01:02] LinuX2half : Its the Hardware..Put on the output on screen; other could try.. bye [01:03] excellent. I am having issues with ubuntu myself [01:03] because, strangely enough, using this computer in windows (I tried it for the first time in 5+ years).. it ran.. crazy perfect [01:03] I ran it for 2 days before I switched back and it was perfect the entire time [01:03] Daekdroom: you said it makes you system "appear" faster. What does that mean? The language used makes no sense in regards to computers as far as I can tell. What do you mean by "appear" when used in teh context which you used it? [01:03] wizard_, Daekdroom #ubuntu-offtopic [01:03] brent: same problem here for a few of my machines. They run Windows fine and fast, but Ubuntu is sluggish, oddly enough. [01:03] bazhang: Don't worry, I'm getting back on topic. [01:03] wizard_, thank you for that and the daekdroom comment [01:04] Why isn't Ubuntu properly accessing my onboard sound? In the sound preferences, there is no hardware device available to configure [01:04] thanks [01:04] Iǘe been using computers for 20+ years, Iḿ a developer and ive been using linux for 4-5 years now as well full time [01:04] I took what he said as a dumbing down for non technical person thing, but thats probably just a fault of mine [01:04] max101: are you there? [01:05] I realize that since I keep focusing n the cpu that it probably seems like I think that you can completely base it off that [01:05] I'm struggling to get my TV tuner card working on Ubuntu -- I had no luck with MythTV back in 9.10, and now I'm having zero luck with Me-TV on 10.04 [01:05] !ot > brent [01:05] brent, please see my private message [01:05] Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 21: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /media/XP-LUCAS [01:05] I realize theres much more to it.. but 90% of the hardware in this comp is from the old comp [01:05] can you help me mount my drive?

[01:05] Agu10: it appears to already be mounted [01:05] No, it's wondering wether a slowdown is hardware or system-related, bazhang [01:06] whoa [01:06] mkquist_: unable to mount DATA [01:06] its far afield of that now. [01:06] what just happened Daekdroom heh [01:06] Well, it might have gotten that far, but.. heh.. Just going to ask my question now. === Hutley_ is now known as Hutley [01:06] Agu10: but its telling you its already mounted.. no? [01:07] I got a new keyboard and now F1-F12 keys are seen as different keys by XServer, how can I remap them to match F1-F2? [01:07] max101: hello? [01:07] mkquist_: it appears in Computer... [01:07] hey so i bricked my comp with fglrx and my grub boot manager never shows up for me to use the recovery terminal. is there any wasy to use a live cd to boot the main partition under rescue mode? [01:07] Does anyone know if its possible to repair a NTFS partition? [01:07] LinuX2half1: install gentoo [01:08] Agu10: you could try sudo umount /media/XP-LUCAS, then try mounting it where you want i guess... [01:08] what gentoo? [01:08] I thought its an operating system. [01:08] which package holds the default ubuntu wallpaper? ( i wan't to get karmic's) [01:08] this new sound applet (indicator) in lucid is annoying [01:08] jatt: I agree [01:08] is there a way to set it horizontally [01:08] is a mess [01:08] I rue upgrading to lucid [01:08] I cannot change the volume easily [01:09] I cannot even get volume [01:09] is the adobe-flashplugin the recommended pkg? [01:09] jatt: I updated but mine is still horizontal. so it seems possible, but i don't know why mine is like this :) [01:09] mkquist_: don't know how to do that.

[01:09] Agu10: whats wrong with where its mounted now? [01:09] sebsebseb: is it ntfsfix? [01:10] mkquist_: it doesnt open ... [01:10] but... why they don't test the thing before releasing, I mean anybody using that applet at least for 5 minutes would notice is a mess to deal with [01:10] Agu10: what does it do? [01:10] * xifer_ my head hurts [01:10] LinuX2half1: not sure [01:10] LinuX2half1: anyway what's up with your NTFS partition? [01:10] mkquist_: I'm trying to open my drive from the file browser with no success. instead, it shows me that error message [01:10] porn is too easy [01:11] LinuX2half1: and you should probably really use a Windows tool to repair it [01:11] tertl3, ?? [01:11] sebsebseb: it had a issue with the activation, it won't login due to some prevention. [01:11] sebsebseb: Wasn't ntfs-3g unable to repair NTFS partitions? [01:11] anybody know where i can find the driver for a toshiba satellite touchpad, for 9.10 [01:12] sebsebseb: I was updating Windows to SP3 to make it English readable. [01:12] LinuX2half1: the activation? if you got those kind of issues, I think there is a number you can ring up. anyway better off asking the Windows stuff in ##windows really [01:12] LinuX2half1: however, if people have installed Windows a few times, and then it won't activiate, there is a number they can ring up [01:12] sebsebseb: I did ask them and they said burn a copy of the disk; which I can't because there are some issue with it [01:13] hi, I really need a minimal octave code for plotting a histogram with 2 columns (each with an error bar) from 2 .dat files does anyone know where I can get it from? [01:13] sebsebseb: The Windows that was installed was cloned [01:13] LinuX2half1: copied from a friend? if so, well then yes, your meant to be getting issues with it [01:14] where are the config files for a php instllation?

I don't think it is, but I am lost as to whether it is healthy on my system [01:18] Agu10: and you only use it on one machine? [01:18] hi guys! my ubuntu install got messed up somehow and i now have a "mount of root filesystem failed". does anyone know if there is a way to install ubuntu over my old install without erasing all of my data? [01:18] mkquist_: no. also at school [01:19] Agu10: this is seperate h/d your trying to access and its on this machine you are currently using? [01:20] mkquist_: seperate h/d ? yes, it's on this machine. [01:20] Hello, I need a bit of help, please. Does anyone know how I can get Steam working on Karmic? I've installed via Wine and the bar appears at the bottom, but when I click it, the actual Steam program doesn't come up. anyone able to help? [01:20] Agu10: well ubuntu thinks its already mounted [01:20] is there anything i should know before installing windows 7? (dual booting) [01:20] ryan__: http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/ [01:20] mkquist_: what should I do? [01:20] !ops | shadertest [01:20] shadertest: Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - elky, Madpilot, tritium, Nalioth, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, Myrtti, mneptok, Pici, jpds, gnomefreak, bazhang, jussi, Flannel, ikonia, maco, h00k, IdleOne, or nhandler! [01:21] try opening a terminal and 'cd /media/XP-LUCAS' see if you can access it that way [01:21] adamkex, I don know... just installed Ubuntu today after I installed Windows Seven [01:21] shardertest: oh, hey there, smart ass, you don't think I've fucking tried that? [01:21] currently using XChat for UBUNTU, anyone know of a better client? [01:21] ryan__: Please mind your language [01:21] and then Ubuntu automatically fixes dual booting, but I don know how that is when Windows is installed later [01:21] tdnicholson: It's the one that pretty much everybody uses [01:21] Flannel, Pf. [01:22] mathieu: yeah, i don't want to reinstall linux after installing windows :/ [01:22] tdnicholson: better is relative, I know 'other' clients, I prefer xchat over 'others' though [01:22] What's the advantage of a NAS over a regular external hard drive? [01:22] thanks, Daekdroom and Typos_King [01:22] Ryan_ wooow... [01:22] nice language [01:22] Omg. [01:22] sam_2007: Drop it [01:22] ;) [01:22] BentSpace, a network connection so it can be accessed by multiple machines at the same time ? [01:22] BentSpace: nas connects thru your network, external uses usb port [01:22] I'm the one with bad language, he secretly hides it - pathetic.. [01:23] tdnicholson: if you want a console based terminal you can try irssi or weechat [01:23] [8:18pm] Agu10: mkq [01:23] by default does the ufw send its firewall rules to iptables and if so when? [01:23] ryan__: shadowtest got removed [01:23] oops [01:23] thanks, adamke [01:23] ryan__: No, he didn't hide it, but him being rude and obnoxious doesn't give you the right to use foul language [01:23] adamkex [01:23] sebsebseb, fair enough, apologies. [01:23] mah2223_: ? [01:23] $fulldate [01:23] adamkex: as long as you don destroy the partition you've installed linux on... the worst thing that I could imagine is a default boot to Windows [01:24] Flannel, he used it why shouldn't I. [01:24] tdnicholson: kvirc is a bit colorful, has avatars and stuff, you can also use pidgin or gaim for irc, there's also konversation, or quassel, as I said, I prefer xchat :) [01:24] ryan__: Now, back to your issue. Have you tried asking in #winehq? (I certainly don't know enough about steam or wine to diagnose) [01:24] I see, so with an external hard drive multiple computers on the network can't be accessing it at the same time? [01:24] hi guys! my ubuntu install got messed up somehow and i now have a "mount of root filesystem failed". does anyone know if there is a way to reinstall ubuntu without erasing all of my data? [01:24] Flannel, nope, but I 'll certainly have a look in there, thanks. [01:24] Agu10: any luck? [01:24] by default does the ufw send its firewall rules to iptables and if so when? [01:24] mathieu: well windows always writes over the MBR, so i have to fix that with a live cd, but my fear is that if windows 7 formats the entire harddrive [01:25] Flannel cant drop anything cos there is NOTHING in my hands. thanks for your advice tho daddy-complex-man === radar3d|AFK is now known as radar3d [01:25] mkquist_: bash: cd: XP-LUCAS: No such file or directory [01:25] don press the "auto" option then but choose "advanced" (don know the exact terminology during the setup, but it's among one of the first setup screens for sure) [01:26] Agu10: try sudo umount -a? [01:26] sam_2007: Dragging along things like that does nothing to help the situation. If you'd like me to be more explicit, fine: Please cease dragging on things that serve to only continue the disruption in the channel. If you have any additional comments, feel free to query me. Thanks. [01:26] hi, does anyone know how to get Ninjavideo to work in ubuntu? I've followed ALL of the tutorials and suggestions on the forums, nothing seems to work, I still get a white screen with no video [01:26] mkquist_: sudo: unmount: command not found [01:26] I have a problem with the input method Anyone here know how to use chinese input? [01:26] Agu10: umount -a [01:26] Agu10: umount [01:26] Flannel. Daddy complex. [01:26] ryan__: Don't know if you looked here or not...: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731 (hope it is useful) [01:26] oops [01:26] Okay, I'm using Linux Mint 8 Helena, and I just recently tried installing the drivers and patch for my new Wacom Bamboo Tablet (CTL 460). When I connect the tablet now, my display goes completely black, but is still backlit. I'm using an HP Mini netbook (model unknown atm). Could anyone help me? [01:27] test [01:27] Is there a NAS that can be accessed remotely via Ubuntu without having to hack it? [01:27] passed [01:27] failed. [01:27] XD [01:27] error [01:27] Secret-Agent: fail :P [01:27] !mintsupport | Dexie [01:27] Dexie: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:27] adamkex, then you can manually choose partition options (and also select empty space on a disk to create a new partition on) [01:27] hi guys! my ubuntu install got messed up somehow and i now have a "mount of root filesystem failed". does anyone know if there is a way to install ubuntu over my old install without erasing all of my data? [01:27] Secret-Agent, two failed, one passed… result: failed [01:27] damm :( [01:28] mkquist_: device is busy, in many of them. not found on some [01:28] no one knows how to make ninjavideo work? [01:28] mathieu: sounds great, then i don't have to backup > 200gb of data.... [01:28] ;p [01:28] mah2223: did it ever run? did you ever boot into it? and later on got messed up? or it never did? [01:28] * dominicdinada waves @ sam_2007 how was the trip [01:28] by default does the ufw send its firewall rules to iptables and if so when? [01:28] Input method help anyone? ~~ trying to use pinyin but for somereason comes out in shuangping... [01:28] kinda crap. [01:29] mkquist_: so what should I do? [01:29] tdnicholson: if you are using kubuntu you can try konversation [01:29] BentSpace, every NAS should be accessed remotely, otherwise it'd be just a simple stupid hard disk ;-) [01:30] Typos_King: hello and thank you for your help! it ran for a long time and then i foolishly allowed some upgrades from an unofficial repository and next thing i know i get "mount of root filesystem failed" [01:30] tdnicholson: adamkex KDE apps can also run in Gnome/Ubuntu [01:30] Anyone here using SCIM or IBUS or any other input method...? my ibus keeps changing to shuangpin but should stay in quanpin [01:30] adamkex and sebsebseb tks! [01:30] with Mediatomb, my media library is not updating. anyone have any suggestions? [01:30] tdnicholson: Konversation is rather nice :) [01:31] mah2223: ... I see..... can't mount it from a live-cd/usb boot? [01:31] well what the hell is this problem i tried to save my ufw firewall rules to the desktop... when saving ass shows all the files there but they are not on my desktop so i user natu... and ctrl+h and they are still not visable [01:31] tdnicholson: ;) [01:32] Typos_King: yeah, i totally can, and all my data is all there and everything seems to be in order! [01:32] How do i get midi devices working with my laptop? [01:32] mah2223_: how did you solve your issue? [01:33] adamkex: sorry for the confusion, my issue didnt get solved at all! i was simply responding to a question about whether i can mount my failing ubuntu partition from livecd [01:33] well what the hell is this problem i tried to save my ufw firewall rules to the desktop... when saving ass shows all the files there but they are not on my desktop so i user natu... and ctrl+h and they are still not visable [01:33] mathieu, I was looking into get the WD My Book World Edition NAS as it was highly rated, but apparent to access your files remotely you have to go through WD's website, but I read it could be hacked to access the drive directly via SSH or FTP? Is this a good choice for a NAS is there sometime better for Linux users as it doesn't say it's Linux compatible on their website? [01:34] tdnicholson: kubuntu already comes with Quassel irc, I've used konversation, you may like kvirc over it, GUI wise http://lwn.net/images/ns/grumpy/irc/kvirc.png [01:34] mah2223: then just do so, do a live-cd boot, mount it, and back up ~/ [01:35] mah2223_: in the future, you should keep a seperate /home partition [01:35] How do i get midi devices working with my laptop? [01:36] mah2223_: so if you system fails, your personal files don't [01:36] tdnicholson, xchat seems less 'technical' than kvirc by default... so if you don need join/parts and a constant list of users, xchat is nice :-) [01:36] mah2223_: Have you tried booting with an older kernel version? [01:37] Jordan_U: yes i have tried every one in my grub menu to no avail, thank you though! [01:37] harjot: use a MIDI sequencer or whatever application which uses that musical interface [01:37] How do I enable two 8400GS for 3 monitors in 10.04 with Nouveau? [01:37] Typos_King: thank you for your advice may i ask what you mean by "~/"? [01:38] mah2223_: he means to backup your home directory [01:38] mah2223_: thats ur home dir === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:38] mah2223: your $HOME folder :), or ~ [01:38] thank you all, understood. is the implication then to just do a clean reinstall and then copy over the home folder? [01:39] mah2223_: What repository did you get updates from? (I think the installer can install while keeping /home, even if it's not a separate partition, but I doubt that is necessary) [01:39] mah2223_: yes [01:40] Is continuous backup better than scheduled backup? [01:40] Jordan_U: unfortunately i am not sure what the repository was and i think there actually may have been more than one [01:40] how do i change the grub 2 boot menu? do i need to directly edit the bash scripts in /etc/grub.d/? [01:40] For you chromium users, do you know what action causes chromium to re-sync the bookmarks? I have 2 machines syncing and sometimes one of them will be missing new bookmarks that were made the day before on the other machine. Other than unsync and resync how can you get it to update? [01:40] buttons840: What do you want to change? [01:41] Jordan_U, right now i want to change the default selection and timeout time [01:41] Jordan_U: Hi! I posted the boot info script result on paste bin. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/xgYvZ2Kp [01:41] Question regarding file management. Using Windows, I prefer Ghislers Total Commander... is there such a decent alternative for Ubuntu ? [01:41] buttons840: Those settings are in /etc/default/grub [01:41] LinuxGuy2009: i think it does it with google/gmail [01:41] mathieu: midnight-commander ?? [01:41] hi anyone know a truted website where i can use my webcam with a friend ? coz it's not working with aMSN [01:41] yes, but then in a GUI (no shell) [01:42] adamkex: Yeah I know that, that parts obvious. Im just not sure when it rechecks the account for new bookmarks. Seems like sometimes it doesnt for a long time. [01:42] alright everyone, thank you very much for your help i will do a clean install and then copy over my home folder. does anyone know if my compiz profile is saved in home or should/can i get it from somewhere else?? [01:42] Jordan_U, thanks [01:42] LinuxGuy2009: Also i believe ubuntu one offers that as well [01:42] mah2223_, it's saven in /home [01:42] buttons840: You're welcome. [01:42] buttons840, as a hidden folder, but it is there [01:42] Oops, wrong person. [01:43] :) [01:43] Heh my cat eats doritos... [01:43] What is the "standard" instant messaging protocol for us GNU/Linux users? XMPP? [01:43] mathieu: I use/prefer Krusader -> http://www.krusader.org/screenshots/kr_3rdhanddiskusage.png [01:43] hi anyone know a truted website where i can use my webcam with a friend ? coz it's not working with aMSN === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [01:43] Typos_King, thanks, that is probably exactly what I'm looking for. [01:43] mah2223_: I'd say back up your /home but try to re-install without reformating the partition anyway. I think it will work. [01:44] mah2223_: ccsm>preferences>export/import to save and load, respectively [01:44] Daekdroom: thank you [01:44] mathieu: and for minor file perusing I also use XFE -> http://roland65.free.fr/xfe/images/screenshot-s5.png , but mainly Krusader :) [01:44] mathieu: in a terminal, there's mc (midnight commander), and graphically, lets look: gnome-commander, krusader, bsc, tuxcmd [01:44] Charbel: empathy supports video chat IIRC [01:45] soreau: hello kind sir, the problem is that it needs to be obtained from a livecd! :-) [01:45] I have a media server with a bunch of music on it. I have changed the permissions on the /home/user/Music folder to 777....is that a problem? I just figured I'd run into fewer headaches with mediatomb with the permissions at 777. [01:45] mah2223_: Compiz settings are stored in /home [01:45] My network controller " Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)" and I would like to completely remove the package and reinstall it. What is the package name? The driver for my wifi is b43. When i do a lsmod, the module is not in the list. when I do system > adm > hardware drive, I see Broadcom STA wireless enable. This was working, now nothing. [01:45] mathieu: So, look into those, find the one that looks the best for what you need. krusader is for KDE, so if you're using Ubuntu, I'd stay away from that if other things offer the same features [01:45] hehe [01:45] Jordan_U: thank you. this re-install idea is what i originally had in mind but i am not sure how to do it! [01:46] !bcm [01:46] tdnicholson [01:46] !bcm43xx [01:46] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:46] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [01:46] wow, that is a heavy package... 108 dependencies needed according to Synaptic :-) [01:46] krusader uses kde libs, doesn't require kde4 to be installed last I checked, anymore than gnome apps require a full gnome installation, just a few libs [01:46] Jordan_U, i don't have irc in empathy [01:46] Typos_King: Right, kdelibs, kdebase, and QT stuff [01:47] mathieu: yes, if you don't have kde installed, it'll require quite a few kde libs [01:47] Jordan_U, from jordan ? [01:47] mah2223_: Choose manual partitioning, select your current Ubuntu partition to be used as '/' and be sure to uncheck the box that says to reformat the partition [01:47] mathieu: Pick one of the others and try it out, that aren't KDE based, it'll be less overhead [01:47] <|dominicdinada|> hmm [01:48] Charbel: IIRC means If I Recall Correctly [01:48] Jordan_U: thank you very much you are a kind and noble gentlemen. I will attempt this straightaway. [01:49] !unity [01:49] mah2223_: You're welcome. [01:49] hi guys. is anyone here familiar withthe new unity interface? [01:49] ah... cr_p now I see why that is such a big package... gonna try GC as well and see which one is the most intuitive one. Thanks Flannel and Typos_King [01:49] !bacon [01:50] I'm used to Windows, so overhead is a buzzword to me since 1994 [01:50] ;) [01:50] bacon? [01:50] eggs? [01:51] salt [01:51] haggis [01:51] Jono Bacon [01:51] !ot [01:51] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:51] bazhang: indeed [01:51] canthus13: sebsebseb you both no better [01:51] sebsebseb, so dont do it [01:52] IdleOne: I know. wrong channel. He set of my highlights. [01:52] would anyone be able to tell me the easiest way of taking an ubuntu server with ssh access and installing a gui with remote desktop? === kylezoa is now known as kylezoa_away [01:53] BalSak: there's a ppa for unity also I can get you two links about it, if you want [01:53] Charbel: why not use like yahoo messenger or skype? [01:53] BalSak: it's rather well unstable apparantly as well, at the moment [01:53] Hey does anyone have any experience with wubi and 10.1 + windows 7? [01:53] does it work? [01:53] What is the "standard" instant messaging protocol for us GNU/Linux users? XMPP? [01:53] defn: sure it'll work but why? [01:53] defn: as in why not just dual boot [01:54] Gozar: If I had to pick one, yeah. [01:54] sebsebseb: I'm running it on my "old" eee 701, & liek it quite a lot. just need help with customization of the bars [01:54] The first pointer you gave me for my network problem is marked for deletion. [01:54] Gozar, XMPP because it's so '1337' [01:54] Gozar: xmpp, irc, sip. anythin, really [01:55] mkquist_, how can i install yahoo messenger in ubuntu ? [01:55] !yahoo > Charbel [01:55] Charbel, please see my private message [01:55] anyone know how to get stumpwm work? [01:56] Charbel: pidgin supports Yahoo [01:56] Charbel: there is no native Yahoo client for linux. use Pidgin or Empathy [01:56] BalSak: Yeah, but I was thinking instead of the big ones that Microsoft, Yahoo, Skype, etc have, where they can basically change whenever they like and basically stop "us" from using them.. [01:57] i know i can use pidgin or empathy but i thought i can install yahoo client [01:57] thank you guys [01:57] Gozar: actually no they can't [01:57] Gozar: They wouldn't try that. It would stop their own older clients from working and they'd lose popularity. [01:57] Gozar: not really; they'll have to contend with legacy systems (IE6 is still alive & kicking) [01:58] IdleOne: No? Well, show me a working MSN-client with proper functional webcam support.. [01:58] & the FLOSS comulity will adapt quicker to any new protocol than their legacy clients woud [01:58] Gozar: That's the MSN-client's fault, not MS [01:58] Gozar: amsn works with webcam for me. [01:58] Daekdroom: But who changes the protocols? [01:59] Gozar: or, it worked up until a few days ago anyway. [01:59] SwedeMike: Yeah, but it's not proper.. [01:59] Gozar: The service owner (Microsoft for MSN, Yahoo for Yahoo etc) [01:59] Gozar: but I think that was a network problem. What are you lacking? [01:59] I can't upgrade from Karmic to Lucid because of '/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC'. Is there a fix to this (rather common) bug? [02:00] How viable would it be to boot from an Ubuntu 8.04 disc to install Xubuntu 10.04 iso from a usb drive? [02:00] Kuwanger: doesn't work to boot from usb on your computer? [02:00] SwedeMike: Well, I'm only asking what to use instead of those protocols controlled by the big companies. But anyway, in relation to aMSN, I'm waiting for KMess 2.1 with proper webcam support. [02:01] Kuwanger: boot from the USB to install [02:01] can anyone point me to a guide to netboot ubuntu, I don't want to install it, I just want to be able to run ubuntu on a computer with no, or minimal media. I also would like the environment to be able to save changes (ie: updates) [02:01] Gozar: please define "proper". [02:01] SwedeMike: My BIOS includes USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM which all seem to fail. [02:01] Kuwanger: sounds like you should burn a cd instead then. [02:01] how can I change the shut down screen from the Kubuntu one to the Ubuntu one? [02:02] zetheroo: meaning what exactly? [02:03] rawr [02:03] lol [02:03] !install | aperson [02:03] aperson: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:03] SwedeMike: Just done the "right way" instead of hacks and stuff like that. Ask the devs in #kmess [02:03] SwedeMike: If I were to dump the iso onto a usb drive, shouldn't I be able to just supply the right vmlinuz and initrd at boot time to get it to install from usb? [02:03] wildbat, I do not want to install, that would run a non-persistent live environment [02:03] sebsebseb: I installed kubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu system (Lucid) and now when I shutdown I get the kubuntu splash [02:03] zetheroo: ah right ok [02:03] zetheroo: open up synaptic, remove Kubuntu theme [02:03] Kuwanger: perhaps, why don't you just try? [02:03] sebsebseb: I would like to change it back [02:04] zetheroo: in fact there are a few other plymouth themes you can try [02:04] sebsebseb: the only way is to remove the theme? ... [02:04] zetheroo: as well [02:04] zetheroo: there may be another way to do it, but working the kubuntu theme is the way I would do it [02:04] :P [02:04] zetheroo: working? uh? removing [02:04] aperson, till have instrustion on how to do netboot [02:04] sebsebseb: hehe :) [02:04] Kuwanger: worst case, install 8.04 and then upgrade to 10.04 ? [02:05] SwedeMike: why just install lucid [02:05] gogeta: why don't you scrollback? [02:05] sebsebseb: ok ... and is that the name of the package? kubuntu-theme? [02:05] sebsebseb, I've had mixed experiences with the alternative plymouth themes in the repos, some won't work, at least on my hardware [02:05] SwedeMike: just joind so i probly missewd it [02:05] zetheroo: no kubuntu-plymouth-theme or something like that, you can find in Synaptic [02:05] SwedeMike: Yea. I just figured I'd ask first, seeing if anyone had personal experience. [02:05] wildbat, yes, I know how to install from over the network, and I've read that guide a few times previously [02:06] wildbat, but it does not cover what I'd like to do [02:06] sebsebseb: ok I see plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo ... [02:06] SwedeMike: so why [02:06] aperson: yeah one frooze the other computer [02:06] zetheroo: yep that one [02:06] gogeta: why what? [02:06] SwedeMike: do all that rather then just installing [02:06] gogeta: because he doesn't have a bootable 10.04 media [02:06] SwedeMike: so make one [02:07] sebsebseb, it's a shame, I'd rather use the spinfinity theme :/ [02:07] gogeta: why are you bugging ME about this? [02:07] Jordan_U: still around?? :-) [02:07] Lol [02:07] aperson, you need to make your own initrd for customizing what you need [02:07] aperson: Are you talking about this?:http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/setupltsp.shtml [02:07] sebsebseb: one other thing you may know something about ... when I boot up I see a black screen for the longest time and then a few seconds of the Ubuntu screen sometimes .. and then the login screen ... any idea why the black screen? [02:07] aperson: that's the one I had issues with, if I remember correctly [02:08] zetheroo: yes I have that on other computer as well, it's a known issue, there will be links out there about that, I think [02:08] Daekdroom: Anyway, the point was that instead of relying on big companies to be able to chat and webcam and all that, and then when they decide to change things around, without providing docs for the devs, then we'll be b0nkered til it's been reverse-engineered again. And it has happened before, they have done it, and why rely on them? So I was asking about the "F/OSS" variant of IM. But anyway, I think you know this already [02:08] . But better to point it out one time too many than never. [02:08] Kuwanger: so why dont you have a lucid disk there easy to get [02:08] gogeta: Takes a while to ship. :) [02:08] sebsebseb: is there a fix, or not yet? [02:08] Gozar: jabber is the FOSS/IETF answer. [02:08] Kuwanger: that it does [02:08] my savior is gone :-( [02:08] zetheroo: aperson Plymouth doesn't really work properly in Ubuntu. Plus those of us that have a Nivida or ATI propritary driver, Plymouth will really mess up on us if it's using that driver. I haven't tried yet, but I was given a link about how I could get it using open driver for plymouth, and propritary for everything else. [02:09] Gozar: or rather, XMPP [02:09] http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [02:09] sebsebseb, proprietary nvidia driver here, the normal plymouth theme works fine, all I had to do is set the resolution myself [02:09] onetinsoldier: I seen that link before, is that the fix for the black issue? [02:10] greezmunkey, that would be about right [02:10] sebsebseb: the black issue? no.. not for that it doesn't sound like [02:10] SwedeMike: Oh nice, did not know about IETF. Seems like I've been in a cave. I'll be reading up on that. [02:10] sebsebseb: it's the fix for people with proprietary nvida/ati drivers [02:10] anyone tried to successfully upgrade the Mono framework in Lucid Ubuntu to version 2.6.4 ? [02:10] aperson: I'm pretty sure that will do what you want. [02:10] onetinsoldier: oh ok [02:10] sebsebseb: well I was not having any real issues with the theme .. just that it sorta spread out here and there ... :) Like my mouse cursor is no the oxygen one and I cannot change it at all .. :P ... no big deal that ... [02:11] onetinsoldier: altough I was given some other link for that [02:11] hi every1 can a [02:11] does anyone know how to reinstall the MBR ? [02:11] sebsebseb: oh. roger. i use the fglrx drivers and i used that guide. worked a treat for me. really nice [02:11] greezmunkey, but wouldn't everything be running on the server, and not the client? [02:11] so my ubuntu install got messed up and now gives "mount of root filesystem failed". However, i can see all of my old files and stuff from livecd and have backed them all up. Is there any way to get the installer to be able to see my old account so that it can migrate my old settings and stuff like that?? [02:11] how i can use webcam with empathy ? [02:12] onetinsoldier: right I was given a link, that I haven't tried yet, so I could use open driver for Plymouth, and propritary for everything else [02:12] hi [02:12] sebsebseb: roger :-) [02:12] is it possible for me to update 9.04 to 9.10 without it going FUBAR? === general is now known as Guest63388 [02:12] aperson: I'd have to look into more. I came across ltsp a while ago, but lost interest in it. [02:12] CkhiKuzad: maybe [02:13] CkhiKuzad: backup data or something, and try I guess. Ext3 9.04 installs won't get converted to Ext4 on upgrade, but you don't need that anyway. Plus no Grub 2 on upgrade, but for most of us the old Grub is still better :) [02:14] greezmunkey, my media center's hdd is dying, and since all my media is accessed via sshfs anyways, I want to see if I can't just run boot from over the network, to sum things up === kylezoa_away is now known as kylezoa [02:14] hi every1 need some help. just bought a samsung r530 and i just installed ubuntu 9.04 but there seems to be a network problem cos neither the wireless nor the ethernet is working any help would be much appreciated???? [02:14] greezmunkey, wildbat, thanks for your suggestions [02:14] moekim1234: why are you installing 9.04 ? [02:14] CkhiKuzad: oh and 9.04 runs out of support at the end of October, however it's better than 9.10 and 10.04 in certain ways [02:14] i like it [02:15] whats a good all around IDE? [02:15] hello [02:15] sebsebseb: I found this and would like to try it but what do I replace "i915" with? -- My gfx card is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [02:15] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ [02:15] thisb, I like geany, but you can't really call that an ide [02:15] i used notepad++ heavily along with the filebrowser plugin [02:15] gedit doesnt do it for me [02:16] hello. i've just installed lucid and was wondering if anyone else experienced a really slow synaptic (not download speed.. every time i click something it turns gray and i have to wait 10-15 seconds to react again). any kind of help is appreciated [02:16] so my ubuntu install got messed up and now gives "mount of root filesystem failed". However, i can see all of my old files and stuff from livecd and have backed them all up. I'm not really sure about the "choose a partition manually" part of the installer and i'm wondering if anyone knows how to get it to see my old account in order to migrate my old settings and stuff like that?? any help GREATLY appreciated i love you guys [02:16] thisb, so you're looking for a good editor, not a full on ide like eclipse? [02:16] eclipse,netbeans there all slow bundles of crap imho [02:16] zetheroo: not gone on link yet, but I expect I am not really the best person to help with this. if you see actionparnsnip around though, well he seems to know Plymouth issues [02:16] thisb, then I definitely recommend geany [02:17] hi every1 need some help. just bought a samsung r530 and i just installed ubuntu 9.04 but there seems to be a network problem cos neither the wireless nor the ethernet is working any help would be much appreciated????

Because mine isn't working for crap!@ [02:17] moekim1234: unlikely anyone will help you with an old ubuntu release like that when it's most likely fixed in a later release. [02:17] i like it to a degree [02:17] serious... [02:17] sebsebseb: oh ok .. but this does not have to do with kubuntu or plymouth ... I was having this issue with Ubuntu before adding Kubuntu to the mix ... :) [02:17] thisb: I prefer Kate, for KDE. But what about Emacs or vi/m? ;) [02:18] vim ftw [02:18] s34nDROID: I have the same question. Just got a Saffire LE the other day. [02:18] swedemike: i was hoping to update as soon as i installed [02:18] zetheroo: well sure, since Kubuntu is Ubuntu just with KDE instead [02:18] i bet i will like it more after i mess with it [02:18] Please no editor debates/wars. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:18] ^i like all editors [02:18] Gozar, so far all I have seen is stuff about ffado which is supposedly supported in 10.04? [02:18] depending on my mood : [02:18] moekim1234: that seems to be not working, so the advice is to do a fresh install of 10.04 instead. [02:19] yeah it's all about nano anyway. deabte over [02:19] cool i like it [02:19] rangua: hello kind sir and thank you. how can i get you my grub conf file? [02:19] i use nano for conf files and stuff [02:19] I use my LE as my main audio device so it's a must to have working [02:19] sebsebseb: right ... I was just wondering if my entry should be something like "i965" instead of the "i915" on the post ... this is Intel btw .. [02:19] s34nDROID: Yeah, ffado is surely what we should use.. but I've had no success yet. (not tried all that much though) [02:19] swedemike: its much easier to install an old ubuntu and then hit the upgrade. but yes i might have to do that. thanks heaps [02:19] anybody have any idea on how to fix the brightness button fix for lenovo machines, i have tried the fix from 9.10 but that isnt working [02:19] I couldn't understand how to install it [02:20] >.< i hate my windows user lab partner who messed up the latex file.. i can't compile and i would install every single tex package out there.. but then again, for each one i select i have to wait 10-15 secs for synaptic to revive so that's out of the question... grrrrr.. i can still blame it on windows hehe [02:20] half the depenencies I couldn't find [02:20] luis_: what fix is that? brightness adjustment works on my x200 [02:20] s34nDROID: Isn't it in the repositories? [02:20] what make ubuntu hardy a "hardy" version. What happens if you install hardy and then update your kernel? Are you running hardy anymore? [02:20] rangua, so are you asking for help or just venting? if the latter, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [02:20] I couldn't find it [02:20] maybe I need to add a repo [02:21] they had a package with JACK bit I couldn't get it to work [02:21] Schmitty: hardy is the whole set of utils etc, where the kernel is a small but important part. some people upgrade kernel and yes, they're still running hardy then. [02:21] what about terminal apt-get [02:21] I'm not really sure about the "choose a partition manually" part of the installer and i'm wondering if anyone knows how to get it to see my old account in order to migrate my old settings and stuff like that?? any help GREATLY appreciated thank you!! [02:21] mathieu, what about it? [02:22] SwedeMike: what set of utilities is specific to the respective ubuntu version? [02:22] Schmitty, it's also outdated libc and other funny stuff [02:22] aperson: asking for help... the synaptic lag issue... it's a tricky problem tho, just wondering if anyone else had this issue [02:22] \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [02:22] Schmitty: all of it, most of the utils get newer versions when upgrading. [02:22] SwedeMike:/etc/default/grub [02:22] mah2223_, just install in existing Linux partition WITHOUT formatting [02:23] it should take your home dir === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [02:23] if there are url restrictions, is there simpler walkaroung then ssh tunneling ?

I don't want to nuke anything plugging in a drive [02:26] :/ .. has synaptic changed much in the last upgrade? like, making some queries over the net or something.. [02:26] aperson: yes it is. [02:26] hey guys, quick question - what's the recommended desktop virtualisation solution on 10.04? kvm w/frontend? virtualbox? vmware? [02:27] chrismsnz: vbox is most commonly recommended here. [02:27] want to run a windows instance and a couple of other linux instances too [02:27] mah2223_: What aren't you sure about exactly? [02:27] rangua, in my experience, any lagging experiences is on the user's net connection, proxy, or the repository. not on synaptic [02:27] SwedeMike, thanks [02:27] chrismsnz, KVM w/ frontend gives the best performance, apparently, but virtualbox is the easiest one. [02:27] chrismsnz, kvm-qemu or vbox [02:28] hi [02:28] i think i'd prefer to use kvm - we use it at work for server virt so i can use it OK... which frontend to use? [02:28] just virt-manager? [02:28] rangua, synaptic is bloated python abomination [02:28] st: kind and generous wiseman! when i select my existing ext4 partition, it says 'no root filesystem defined'. and then on a lower line, it says 'Please correct this from the partitioning menu.' !! [02:28] is it possible to add GRUB2 to my GRUB menu, so i can optionally use one or the other? [02:28] i see.. but i get the lag when i mark any package (before installing or downloading. just marking it).. i didn't had this problem before, so i was thinking maybe synaptic is relying more on network now [02:28] libvirt , virt-manager frontends that [02:28] aperson: I don't think you are understanding his issue. what is going on with him is that Synaptic stops responding for 10-15 seconds every time he performs and action [02:28] mah2223_, select 'Use drive as ext4' and '/' mount point [02:29] Is it possible to have both gnome and kde installed on a system, and use the menu on the login screen to select between them? [02:29] How do I report a bug if the bug system crashes? [02:29] shishire: yes [02:29] shishire: Very possible. [02:29] Jorduan_U: ! [02:29] brianherman_home, launchpad [02:29] brianherman_home, launchpad [02:29] IdleOne: yes. you're right.. specially when i mark the packages [02:29] brianherman_home, on the website [02:29] shishire again: i do it all the time.

I've got a standard ubuntu install (gnome) [02:30] Jordan_U: other kind men have been trying to help me follow your instructions but i don't know where to select '/' mount point [02:30] shishire, install kubuntu-desktop from synaptic [02:30] aperson: is that the command line apt-get? i don't use it because i can't search for packages.. maybe i'll start using synaptic to search and then install from cmd [02:30] Won't kubuntu-desktop change GDM and boot screen aswell? [02:30] shishire, GDM supports multi window managers by default. install kubuntu-desktop. once you have the option to use gdm or kdm, choose any of the two, both allow you two switch between the two from the sessions dialog on your login screen. [02:30] shishire, after that, all it is is a matter of logging out and selecting which you want to use [02:30] mah2223_, when you double-click partition, you;ll see a dialog === bob is now known as Guest6849 [02:30] rangua: apt-cache for searching and aptitude for installing/removing [02:31] Hello.

[02:32] Oh wow are you serious? I could have swore I tried that already. Thanks lol [02:32] Jordan_U: thank you O sherpa of ubuntu [02:32] CkhiKuzad: I think you can really only have one boot loader on a computer [02:32] i was lost but now i am found [02:33] CkhiKuzad: you could install grub2 to the mbr of a partition and run grub on the mbr, but then you'd have to chain-load grub2 so it's not really choosing [02:33] i want to add an option to boot GRUB2 as a secondary bootloader, to possibly boot a loopback for my ISO of ubuntu 10.04 [02:33] Just installed the newest Ubuntu, installed gdesklets through the synaptic package manager, it will not run, run from the console the error is, "Could not import tiling module" anyone have a suggestion? [02:33] swing low [02:33] CkhiKuzad: Why not just use grub2? [02:33] CkhiKuzad, you can chainload another disk wich holds another bootloader [02:33] st: unfortunately it still cannot see my old account but I guess that's why i am in this situation in the first place right :-P [02:34] Jordan_U, its messing around with changing my bootloader, i dont want to do that, because i might seriously fork up my computer. [02:34] mah2223_, it will see it after you create a new user with old name [02:34] suppose I make a bootable ubuntu, but I want the ubuntu to load my script instead before going booting up, where should I insert the file? [02:34] i can change menu entries in my menu.lst, stuff like that, but i am kind of afraid to switch it over to a completely different BL [02:34] remastersys is very nice [02:34] CkhiKuzad: When you upgrade from grub legacy to grub2 it actually offers you to have a setup where grub legacy loads grub2 to be sure that grub2 works before doing the full upgrade. [02:35] zhane: /etc/init.d/ [02:35] Jordan_U how can i do this upgrade? [02:35] CkhiKuzad: sudo apt-get install grub-pc [02:35] st: no it doesn't much to my dismay and melancholy! [02:35] SwedeMike: I dont have that in my usb - ubuntu [02:35] Jordan_U: But when it's all said and done you end up with one boot loader... [02:36] alright Jordan_U thank you [02:36] why? [02:36] st: i'm sure if it could see my old account i wouldn't be in this mess in the first place [02:36] greezmunkey: grub legacy in the mbr loads /boot/grub/core.img as a multiboot kernel. [02:36] greezmunkey, i want to be able to safely upgrade, no blindly changing my BL [02:36] greezmunkey: You can decide whether you consider that having one bootloader or two :) [02:36] how to remote desktop into xp from ubuntu 10.4?

[02:47] st: tail: cannot open '40' for reading: no such file or directory [02:47] no error, just won't move the play slider, hear nothing [02:47] what media player [02:47] blah [02:47] using moveplayer and rhythmbox both do the same thing [02:47] join #blender [02:47] Josesordo: sorry sudo do-release-upgrade [02:47] ok, starting upgrade to 9.10 then.. see ya [02:48] do you have any other mp3 files to try? [02:48] BitEncrypt:blah [02:48] ohhh [02:48] Avocadobride: Did you ever get windows booting? === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:48] maybe the one you're tryign to play is corrupt? === pure|hate is now known as pure_hate [02:48] if i removed pulse audio would that be ther eason? [02:48] yup that would doi t [02:48] Jordan_U: i dont really know how to use IRC very well is there a way to do the colon thing to you and the other guy as well? [02:48] mah2223_, try -40 [02:48] cna i remove HAL now that I upgraded to Lucid? [02:49] type first letters and press tab [02:49] Jordan_U: yeah I did, thanks, I think it was because was because I installed windows with another drive plugged in, and it decided to put BOOTMGR on that, because when that drive was plugged in it booted into windows without any warning and bypassed grub, so the windows repair disk did the trick [02:49] st: very long output! [02:49] John, I've played these mp3s before, they work. I completely removed pulseaudio, would that cause this? [02:50] Jordan_U: #ubuntu, helped fix a problem with windows XD sorry and thankyou [02:50] i am on another computer, is there an IRC client on the live install? [02:50] mah2223_, see for anything pertaining to installation [02:50] When you include anyone's nick in your message it will be highlighted in their client. You can include any number of nicks and they can be anywhere in the message, like this mah2223_ . [02:50] yes that would cuase a problem [02:50] Jordan_U: So how do I get it to show grub for 10 seconds even when It doesnt want to [02:50] ok [02:50] try going to youtube and playing a video and seeing if you get audio from that [02:50] i do [02:50] just did that [02:50] Jordan_U: i was terrified for a second, but now i got grub2 working [02:51] mah2223_: yeah empathy has an IRC client [02:51] People, every time I reboot I need to reinstall my ndiswrapper-based wireless adapter driver with ndisgtk. Are there any predictions on when this will be fixed? :S [02:51] i thought i had to go to chainload into grub 2, and it kept giving me the error 11. but i edited it, then did the boot. [02:51] Avocadobride: Now that windows is fixed "sudo update-grub" should add an entry for it, and unhide the menu. [02:51] !chatzilla [02:51] if i can run a command no matter what my path, where is rthat command stored in my filesystem? [02:51] before the year 9999 [02:51] nixjr: echo $PATH [02:51] thank you matrimonious vegetable! [02:51] .bash_history [02:51] Jordan_U: no it doesnt detect it still, I have to use one of the entries that you wrote for me, I have tried sudo update grub [02:52] Jordan_U: actually I think I will keep it this way, it should make it harder for people to use my computer without permission [02:52] Avocadobride: Strange, I assume "sudo os-prober" produces no output? [02:53] red2kic, thanks, found it in /usr/bin :) [02:53] Jordan_U: oh hay, it does now XD [02:53] Jordan_U: so it should work if I just run sudo update-grub? [02:53] Avocadobride: Yes [02:53] nixjr: You should not tamper with /usr/bin unless you know what you're trying to do. ;4 [02:54] what if you want to screw up stuff? then tamper with /usr/bin? [02:54] I have 3 partitions on my disk, then I make a 4th extended. Inside this extended I can only make 1 partition, attempts to make another fails. Why? [02:54] not enough space? [02:55] maybe you're trying to make 2 of the same named partitions? or 2 swaps or something? [02:55] haavaros: master boot record will not handle more than 4 primary partitions [02:55] is there a brasero dev out there? if so please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529696 eg All required applications and libraries are not installed.Please install the following (nothing) manually and try again - also using context menu to burn iso ejects cd - if this can be fixed lucid will be perfect [02:55] red2kic, thanks for you concern but i just needed a full path for the command so i can reference it in a script === mathieu is now known as thieu|zzz [02:55] how can I map mouse movement to joystick movement? I do not own a joystick and the game I want to play does not support a mouse [02:55] acerimmer: But isn't that the point of extended partitions? To make a container for more logical partitions? [02:55] nixjr, `which foobar` [02:56] haavaros: true. do u have any hidden parts?

[02:56] I have an external HDD attached to my computer, holding music, pictures, etc. As it is right now, it is basically "mounted" every time I access it, causing it to take a bit to recognise the device each time. Is there a way I can keep it always "ready to use"? [02:56] st, you lost me there [02:56] wid7 or osx will create hiddens [02:56] win7 [02:56] Also one last question, In gconf editor I changed the button layout to the right instead of the left, but it isnt doing it, I have changed the layout to :minimize,maximize,close but nothing is happening [02:57] !controls | Avocadobride [02:57] Avocadobride: 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 [02:57] mount is as a permanent drive? [02:57] hello all [02:57] do I need HAL in Lucid? [02:57] Im having some trouble [02:57] I just did upgrade-from-grub-legacy and this is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434132/ did something go wrong? it says no errors, yet i see about a dozen. [02:57] zetheroo: No [02:57] with my flash [02:57] Petskull, it's *technically* mounted always, I believe, but it just takes a while to initialise if I haven't used it in a while. Would mounting it as permanent fix that? If so, how would I go about that, /etc/fstab? [02:57] Jordan_U: can I remove it now that I upgraded? [02:58] honestly, I don't know [02:58] acerimmer: Not that I can see in GParted, at least [02:58] silverboy0213: just ask in one big sentence, so it doesnt clog up the channel [02:58] I was just curious [02:58] Hello, does anyone know how to fix the problem with Ubuntu 10 that stops the mouse from freely selecting between windows and menus? [02:58] I do something similar [02:58] LukeConnell: System --> Preferences --> Windows [02:58] nixjr, if you want to get absolutepatch for command, use 'wgich' [02:58] zetheroo: Most likely, yes. Make sure that "sudo apt-get remove hal" doesn't remove any applications that you want that may still depend on it though [02:58] Anyone know why the commands on youtube isnt working\ [02:59] I have "PetTV" with a lot of movies and shows on random HDMI to my tv on a dedicated laptop [02:59] Jordan_U: ok good point [02:59] I have everything on a usb [02:59] silverboy0213: because flash on linux is crappy [02:59] acerimmer: But Windows install made an unallocated 1MB space at the beginning of the disk, does that matter? [02:59] anyway to fix it [02:59] silverboy0213: your going to have lots of trouble with online games youtube, anything with flash [02:59] yeah, it laggs sometimes when I'm oppening it [03:00] silverboy0213: you wait for HTML5.0 to become the norm, then you rejoice [03:00] I just did upgrade-from-grub-legacy and this is the result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434132/ did something go wrong? it says no errors, yet i see about 10. [03:00] KK [03:00] silverboy0213: its just one of the downsides of using ubuntu really [03:00] haavaros: it's a primary part. i've seen these b4 [03:00] greetings from livecd st and Jordan_U [03:00] !! [03:00] so i ether deal with a crappy os [03:00] and flash [03:01] silverboy0213: how did you install flash? [03:01] haavaros: this is win7's "restore" partition and u COULD delete it but u have to have your win7 dvd's on hand [03:01] st i have followed your instructions and have a very large output from your command [03:01] with a sudo command [03:01] silverboy0213: there might be a youtube specific app that you cfan get [03:01] haavaros: i'm guess u don't. [03:01] Jordan_U: when I try to remove hal it wants to take banshee, gnome-mount, kubuntu-desktop and gnome-volume-manager with it ... :( [03:01] haavaros: go private. [03:01] CkhiKuzad: Those errors can be ignored. The problem is that /boot/grub/device.map contains /dev/sdd which is not currently plugged in (or the device name has changed). grub2 doesn't require a device.map anymore so if you want to get rid of those (harmless) errors you can "sudo rm /boot/grub/device.map" [03:01] silverboy0213: ok, more specifically what command did you use to install flash? [03:01] where whould this app be found [03:01] are these getting through? [03:02] oh yeah i can see them! [03:02] sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplayer [03:02] Jordan_U alright thanks, do you know how to boot an iso through loopback in grub2? [03:02] I keep getting the infamous libreadline.so.6 error. I found a solution (recompiling from source), but it gave no file names, only the MD5. I even searched for the MD5 but only got references to the message. Nothing helpful. Can someone help? [03:02] how can i change the permissions on a text document? [03:02] r00t03: chmod [03:03] CkhiKuzad: Follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [03:03] I read the doc for my wireless driver bcn43xx. However, after I did the update I tried to install bcmwl-kernel-source. Aptitude could not find the package. I also verify that the restricted repository was in my sources.list. any help [03:03] Jordan_U: is there a way to make sure Ubuntu is booting with Device Kit without having to remove HAL? [03:03] CkhiKuzad: And add your custom menu entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom [03:03] zetheroo: I don't know. [03:03] silverboy0213: http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2010042601735MMSW [03:03] ok [03:04] is st not here anymore? [03:04] mah2223_, had you found the reason of installation failure there? [03:04] so...the little empathy/evolution button isn't showing on the notification area. Any ideas why i may not show up? [03:05] you could also pastebin the whole thing [03:05] Is Tatsel in here? [03:06] yes sir how can i do pastebin?? [03:06] i try the command sudo rake and i get the following /usr/bin/env: jruby: No such file or directory [03:06] i am talking to you now from the actual computer [03:06] ah, fonud it...missing "indicator applet" [03:06] st [03:06] however i have it on my PATH [03:06] is it possible to remove *just* the 'universal access preferences' from the indicator applet? [03:06] I had a little issue when I installed the new version of Ubuntu on my computer. [03:06] somehow I've got multiples of this, and cannot seem to make it go away. [03:06] how do i install minitube though [03:07] Toucan what was it? [03:07] I could not get to the login screen, it seemed to be a graphics problem [03:07] The screen kept cutting in and out [03:07] and it would never load [03:07] mah223LIVE, ? [03:07] did it go blank? [03:07] It went blank, then it had a scratchy screen, went black, did this back and forth [03:08] how do i write a script to cdeate a devie if it doesnt exist, ie "if dev/rfcomm0 doesnt exist then rfcomm bind 0" ??? [03:08] hey i have one machine with a cdrom on it..and i want to watch the cdrom on another machine on the network.. [03:08] hello yes it is me [03:08] mah223LIVE, still we need the installation log to assist you, I'm afraid [03:08] is there a way to stream it...or....do i have to encode it and put it on a file share. [03:08] Jordan_U or anyone who knows how to use GRUB2's 40_custom thing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434134/ is that in the right format? [03:08] hey tatsel [03:08] I told them the problem already [03:08] Hello. I'm on an iMac, running ubuntu 9.10. How do I get wireless to work? [03:09] Howdy \o/ I'm back after a ong time :p [03:09] Evolution: System/Preferences/Keyboard/Accessibility tab, uncheck accessibility features can be toggled with keyboard shortcuts [03:09] how can i get that for you st?? [03:09] Toucan: :) [03:09] R0b0t1: you need to be more specific, try configuring it yourself, and report any errors here, and ask for help with them. [03:09] or ask what you use to configure it [03:09] Oh, Fozo, I also previously had ubuntu 9.10 on my computer, I went to upgrade it, then the new version didn't work, it gave me that screwed up screen [03:09] screens* [03:09] mah223LIVE, do the dmesg | tail in terminal on that machine and pastebin it [03:10] trism: excellent. that got rid of one... [03:10] Is this package still valid, "bcmwl-kernel-source"? [03:10] CkhiKuzad: Ok, I have. I'm starting to think it thinks it has a valid driver but doesn't, as I input my key, and set the WEP index to 2, as my router is on channel 2. [03:10] It doesn't connect. [03:10] Evolution: logging out and back in should get rid of the other (may need to uncheck it again in the keyboard preferences) [03:10] trism: doing so now. thanks [03:10] st yes sir simply instruct me how to use pastebin please? [03:10] CkhiKuzad: Actually, nm. Where do I find the driver? :) [03:11] why i can run rake --options but sudo rake options not? why sudo doesnt recognize it? [03:11] visit http://ubuntu.pastebin.com and paste result in big window, then post the link here [03:11] mm [03:11] R0b0t1: i dont know to be honest, i dont use wireless very often, i was trying to make it easier on the people who help you, and you, by giving you the tip on how to do it.

[03:12] R0b0t1: the index has nothing to do with the channel, ... you are using WEP? totally not secure... channel selection is automatic, index is 1-4 based on the key used, key1 = index1 etc... [03:12] trism: worked like a champ. [03:12] thank you. [03:12] ??? [03:13] so what is the difference between Ubuntu and the Netbook remix?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:34] green_scorpion, you have to do it like /usr/local/lib/jruby-1.5.0.RC3/bin/rake~ or change the env variable "path" [03:34] nips do you know how to edit your grub at boot time? [03:34] Anyone use nxserver on an UBUNTU machine, I should ask [03:34] !ask [03:34] wildbat: yes root has access to it....

[03:34] well no :/ [03:34] not sure what all the hype is about though over Lucid fast booting time ... my system takes 30+ seconds to get from splash screen to login screen ... and about 40+ seconds to get from power-on to login screen ... nothing in the galaxy of 10 seconds ... [03:34] there's this thing to edit the command line before booting, do i put vga=791 there? [03:34] my webcam doesnt detected by ubuntu [03:34] any help?

I tried adding it to fstab but that causes the bootup on 10.04 to hang waiting for keyboard input if the drive isn't present [03:35] wildbat: any ideas? [03:36] Tatsel: yeah ... well boot time is the crucial thing ... what happens after you login is another matter entirely .. [03:36] zetheroo: What's your tech specs? [03:36] mdpatrick, I've used it, but on RHEL, not Ubuntu. [03:36] Tatsel: C2D 2.5GHZ, 4GB RAM, 320 GB 7200RPM HDD [03:37] omg [03:37] hmmm ~ no idea ~ may be root don't have the correct permission of the directory that contains the file [03:37] Tatsel: Karmic booted up faster!

[03:39] hey blackbyte... that didn't work [03:39] wildbat: should i change it to root? with chown? [03:39] :o [03:39] nips exact same error? [03:40] Yep [03:40] my monitor shows out of frequency [03:40] green_scorpion, chown or give r_x permission to other [03:40] hello. can anyone answer a question for me?

When i get into grub, it has two choices: a) XP b) ubuntu. when i choose b) it goes to a menu with two choices. 1) dell test partition (/dev/sd1), 2) windows. [03:41] dan: normal so far [03:41] nips -- I'll defer to others who may know more, but it sounds to me as though your resolution or refresh rate is set too high -- not in Grub, but in the desktop environment. [03:41] green_scorpion, that should work [03:41] ty geeksquid [03:41] nips have you tried with windoze [03:41] so if i choose 1 i get to test my machine, if i choose 2 i get to windows. there is no choice that gets me to ubuntu! [03:41] wildbat: how can i give read and write permission to other without changing the ownership? [03:42] dan: no ubuntu? [03:42] what's that? [03:42] ace: that's what i said. [03:42] green_scorpion, chmod o+rx [03:42] Ahah! Solved it. Running xgamma -gamma 0.9 and then xgamma -gamma 1.0 fixed the brightness issue. Nevermind o.o [03:42] nips m$ windoze [03:42] a) xp, b) ubuntu. choose b. 1) dell test partition, 2) xp [03:42] oh lol [03:42] hey, does anyone know the solution for the grub 1.97 pause before loading? [03:42] Jeny: im back and im in gnome [03:43] try what? it works with windows [03:43] it doesn't like linux apparently [03:43] jedix: Do you have multiple hard drives? [03:43] Jordan_U: yeah, 5 [03:43] dan: weird. easiest fix is to use windows to delete ubuntu and reinstall BUT why not just dual boot install instead of wubi? [03:43] nips, just logged on ..what doesnt like linux? [03:43] I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 today, now I've lost all wireless networking, what should I check?? [03:43] Jordan_U: and my cdrom is sata [03:43] A while ago I installed ubuntu 9.xx and it didn't make my monitor die [03:43] coz_ my monitor doesn't like linux >:[ [03:43] jedix: You can either make sure that grub is installed to the same drive as /boot, or upgrade to 1.98 from lucid [03:44] Jordan_U: I'm in lucid [03:44] nips, mm that doesnt sound right...what is the make and model of the monitor? [03:44] LG 730 CRT [03:44] erm [03:44] nips, and which video card? [03:44] a very old FX5500 [03:44] acerimer : sorry to bug you again [03:44] jedix: If your menu says it's grub 1.97 then grub hasn't been updated as it should be. [03:44] nips, open a terminal and paste this command lspci | grep -i vga [03:45] i just failed to install skype [03:45] *5200 (even worse) [03:45] ace: i'll try uninstall and reinstall. i suppose i could install dual boot. i just thought the wubi install looked easier. [03:45] i follow the steps told [03:45] shayisaac: shayisaac what was the error msg? [03:45] in here http://technical-itch.co.uk/2007/09/18/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu/ [03:45] venessa, Use a temporary wired connection and go to System | Admin | HW Drivers. See if your wireless driver is shown... If not, tell us what is shown. [03:45] ace: also, i didn't want to have to burn a cd [03:45] Jordan_U: so it should be fixed in 1.98? [03:45] after i run the wget [03:45] dan: wubi IS "easier" but it's also more unstable. [03:45] jedix: Yes. [03:45] Jordan_U: thanks [03:45] it says 404 error [03:45] wildbat: i cant make it work....just one question....if sudo cant access the file it will tell me "command not found" or "permission denied" or any similar to it [03:45] <.< I fail to use skype [03:45] Well I'm in windows as of now, I installed xubuntu via wubi and when i reboot my monitor goes "out of frequency" if i want to continue xubuntu's installation [03:45] nips, the 5500 fx unless it is a pci card should work fine [03:45] jedix: You're welcome. [03:45] nips, open nvidia-settings [03:45] wildbat: because i am receiving command not found [03:45] ace: thx! i'll just go dual-boot i guess, with burning the cd. [03:45] dan: dual boot required u to think before u click [03:46] ace: ? [03:46] nips, did you manually install the nvidia driver or use hardware drivers for that? [03:46] http://technical-itch.co.uk/2007/09/18/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu/ [03:46] ace: i didn't understand that sentence. [03:46] thats where i follow the steps [03:46] nips: are you trying to install for first time [03:46] Coz_ he cant even get into runlevel 2 [03:46] shayisaac: 40R? === jeny is now known as emerling [03:46] 404 [03:46] dan: wait 1 plz [03:46] Or just go to skype.com and download the Ubuntu package >.> [03:46] acerimmer, you mean that my linux build can crash at anytime cause I am installed on wubi to fastly mont my ntfs drives [03:46] BlackByte, mmm [03:46] I installed karmic koala some time ago and it worked [03:46] lucid lynx doesn't appear to [03:46] as I tried with kubuntu AND xubuntu [03:46] nips, ok I assume you already rebooted? [03:47] Yep [03:47] nips, are you at text console now? [03:47] green_scorpion, hmmm you are right, check with the $path [03:47] no I'm in windows [03:47] the site that i refer needs me to go to synaptic first [03:47] Grub doesn't help either [03:47] GothSpark: u overstate it. bcz wubi is still under windows control all the windows faults we know can destabilize your wubi - doesn't happen like that with a reuglar dual boot [03:47] then ctinue with sumthing bout medibuntu [03:47] Hello ubuntu ppl. Write to me if you'e bored, but not boring [03:47] nips, ok do you still have the install cd? [03:47] i;m still noob - sorry [03:47] Blackbyte told me to add "vga=791" to I don't know where D: and it didn't work [03:47] it's an iso that wubi downloaded [03:47] wildbat: i checked it already... it is alright [03:47] shayisaac: let's try again. 404 error is a internet connect error right? [03:48] if you hold down shift when you restart and hit f6 deleate quite and splash you can get in to the gnome and install the recomended driver for computer if you have nvidea [03:48] I have been there and no drivers are listed. If I run ifconfig all it shows are the wired ethernet and the loopback, this thing was working great before upgrade. [03:48] how do you add something to the applications menu? I manually installed an application and made a launcher for it. [03:48] nips, is it possible ...in windows... for you to download and burn the install cd for lucid? [03:48] emm [03:48] but from what i know [03:48] *****after deleating quite and splash type "nomodeset" [03:48] 404 is refering to the site server [03:48] shayisaac: according to my check skype is up. [03:48] I don't have a cd :c [03:48] green_scorpion, can you sudo head the file? see if root can read it ? [03:49] nips, ah I see [03:49] how do i make it so instead of typing "sudo hddtemp" i can just type "hddtemp" ? [03:49] emm [03:49] shayisaac: google for skype for linux. [03:49] kraig6412: when do I do that ctrl f6 thing? [03:49] any way that you can recommend to me? [03:49] nips try a live kunbuntu first to see if it picks up your card [03:49] i already did [03:49] nips, well in all honesty I never reccomend upgrading andy OS always clean install...do you know someone who can burn the live cd for you? [03:49] nvm fixed it [03:49] alguna española [03:49] i already download the deb files [03:49] nixjr: sudo -i [03:49] shayisaac: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ [03:49] the skype-ubuntu-intrepid files [03:49] !es | borja_ [03:49] emm [03:49] Jordan_U: it's 1.98-1ubuntu6 but it's still delayed by like 10-15 seconds [03:49] shayisaac: wait u HAVE the files?

[03:50] shayisaac: do u went into root and installed, yes? [03:50] how do i install miktex [03:50] errr [03:50] green_scorpion, execute the file with full pathname? [03:50] that failed my mind [03:50] hahahha [03:50] how to do that? [03:50] Jordan_U: I also tried to set the boot resolution to 1920x1080, but it doesn't work :/ [03:50] should sumthing that play with the TERMINAL rite? [03:50] restart your computer and hold shift while it starts up it will bring your to a console to chose generic or recovery and hit the letter e deleate the words quite and splash and type nomodeset and hit ctr +x and finish installing it in gnome [03:51] a dvdr won't work right? [03:51] coz i still confuse about apt-get, wget, or sudo dpkg wutsoever [03:51] shayisaac: first account u created when u installed is the root account. copy your skype deb to usb, logout then login as root. install skype deb [03:51] dan: u there [03:51] silverboy0213: what is it? [03:51] borja_: 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. [03:51] i already log in as root [03:51] shayisaac: OK install again [03:51] something that will allow me to use Mnemosyne [03:52] wildbat: he doesnt accept the option that come along with the rake command, that runs well without sudo [03:52] i'm the only user [03:52] but thats only if you have a nvidea driver had to do it with lucid [03:52] errr [03:52] jedix: Is your hard drive pata or sata?

[03:53] ok sec [03:53] onetinsoldier, i need to remove the need to be root to run the command so i can call it from a script im writing [03:53] !iso | CkhiKuzad [03:53] CkhiKuzad: 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. [03:53] ace: yep.

[03:54] later [03:55] Dan: you found a good dual boot tutorial? [03:55] coz_ nero asks me for a CD-R D; [03:55] wildbat how can i change this path? /usr/bin/env [03:55] latex [03:55] silverboy0213: sorry.. going to be a few... folks just came home [03:55] nips, tell nero to burn a dvdr [03:55] how do i install it [03:55] nips do you have a dvd burner?

I had Windows installed. and left 100GB free on the disk to install Ubuntu 10.04 onto. The install went fine, I told to "Install into continuous free space" [03:56] need help w/wireless connection not working [03:56] not a dvdr [03:56] green_scorpion, that's in your ruby script [03:56] howvwer now it still boots straight to windows [03:56] why didnt it install into the MBR? [03:56] oh_noes: where did u choose to install grub? [03:56] sorry guys, i have a quick question... when i chroot from the livecd to the hard drive (i'm trying to reinstall grub), how do i set the enviroment variables? [03:56] oh_noes: Do you have more than one hard drive? [03:57] nips tell nero you want to burn a dvd [03:57] my gparted is empty no drives can open in the live cd is this an issue? [03:57] Should I copy paste the iso's files over to the new dvdr? [03:57] No, single HDD. Multiple partitions [03:57] silverboy0213: ok, i take it you have downloaded it. you need to unpack it. then go into the directory where you unpacked it, in a terminal, on the command line [03:57] nips do NOT copy! [03:57] rangua: You don't need to set any environment variables to re-install grub. [03:57] onetinsoldier, i found the answer no thanks: sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp [03:57] !grub2 | rangua [03:57] rangua: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [03:57] okay don't yell at me :c [03:57] oh_noes: not more than 4 primary partitions, right? otherwise mbr gets funky [03:57] screensaver is deactivated, power management is set to *never* turn off the monitor, yet the screen goes black after 10 minutes of inactivity: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43227559@N06/4610055273/ [03:57] essentially windows 7 boot loader, sda1 windows 7 = sda2, then free space which is probably sda2 [03:58] i'm using poweriso [03:58] hey someone i need noob help im trying to burn a .avi to a dvd [03:58] i hope that works now [03:58] oh_noes and the hidden win7 part?? [03:58] my last dvdr D: [03:58] acerimmer: dont think so. literally I had windows 7 isntalled with 2 partitions. Then I told ubuntu to use "free space" [03:58] nixjr: if something's not setuid to start with, changing it *to* setuid is probably a bad plan [03:58] oh_noes: ok. So where did u send grub? [03:58] hello [03:58] nips so look for burn iso option [03:58] it's burning as of now [03:58] nixjr: sorry... i thought i had answered your question. some family came home and i got busy here for a bit [03:58] what about imgburn? isn't that open source? [03:58] good evening guys: need help w/wireless connection not working [03:58] nixjr: because any memory management bug in it *automatically* becomes a potential vector for root escalation [03:59] nixjr: what you /should/ do is run it with sudo [03:59] acerimmer: It didnt ask me ... I figured it would have handled all of that [03:59] Jordan_U: any ideas? [03:59] Isnt there a sudo command that can install and download it for me [03:59] well.. i'm getting this error: http://pastebin.com/hPBAFKyy [03:59] oh_noes: private? [03:59] There was an option "Dual boot" (but this didnt use the 'free space') [03:59] onetinsoldier, thanks, you had a solution, but it didnt fit my purposes [03:59] it says something about setting an enviroment variable PYTHONsomething [04:00] silverboy0213: speak in complete sentences ... it? [04:00] nixjr: roger [04:00] maco, theres a lot of words there i didnt understand, i needed to get rid of the need to sudo so i could call hddtemp from in another script [04:00] sp78750 there is nothing listed under hw this is a Gateway laptop and the wireless worked great before the upgrade. [04:00] rite [04:00] oh_noes: did u have the live cd or the alternate cd? [04:00] i'm back [04:00] nixjr: then you should run your script with sudo [04:00] shayisaac: Hey [04:00] jedix: Try uncommenting "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in /etc/default/grub then run update-grub [04:00] [04:00] Is it possible to try and find support for my Dell Photo Printer 540 ?

[04:00] nixjr: u+x = setuid. the thing will run as root NO MATTER who executes it *without* authentication [04:00] acerimmer: yeah LiveCD, then I "installed Ubuntu" from the shortcut [04:00] yes rangua's questions are very important! [04:00] Isnt there a sudo command that can download and install LaTeX for me [04:00] !who | shayisaac [04:00] shayisaac: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:01] Ok done [04:01] good evening guys: need help w/wireless connection not working [04:01] silverboy0213: what file did you download exactly? the 'MiKTeX 2.8 Beta 1 for GNU/Linux' file? [04:01] ooo [04:01] I'll try now [04:01] try [04:01] oh_noes: OK. can u run disk utility and get a look at your HDD? [04:01] acerimmer: so essentially can I just boot the LiveCD again then reinstall grub and it'll be fine? [04:01] * nips crosses fingers [04:01] nixjr: that means if there's any sort of a bug in hddtemp that relates to pointers, a malicious person could use it to gain FULL administrator access [04:01] http://www.flickr.com/photos/43227559@N06/4610055273/ [04:01] Uhhm havent installed it yet [04:01] http://www.flickr.com/photos/43227559@N06/4610055273/ [04:01] venessa, do you happen to know what brand of wireless device your system is using? [04:01] ScarabDrowner: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:01] will that grub install pickup my existing windows 7 install and add a dual boot menu [04:01] i want to know if theres a sudo command [04:01] !tab motiolon [04:01] oh_noes, is should [04:01] that can do it for me [04:01] had trouble with my up-arrow [04:01] Jordan_U: same thing [04:01] that "!tab" does it mean tab key? [04:02] oh_noes: well there are a few more stps than that, but it should be relatively easy to "grub rescue" kinda depends on how many parts u ended with [04:02] acerimer : that "!tab" does it mean tab key? [04:02] !tab [04:02] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [04:02] maco, im using it in a conky script, conky doesnt let you sudo things, i thought setuid it would be ok since a temp monitor seems pretty harmless [04:02] oh_noes: google grub2 rescue [04:02] silverboy0213: sudo apt-get install latex [04:02] screw it [04:02] kraig6412: sry dnt know what u mean. im a noob [04:02] Thanks ill try it now [04:02] No I dont but it has never used a propirity driver.

But if that were the case, it should show up in the HW drivers tool. So I'm at a loss for the moment. [04:05] !pm > silverboy0213 [04:05] silverboy0213, please see my private message [04:05] can some one give me some help removeing Kde Ubuntu [04:05] acerimer : emm ... ok for now at least ... yes i did installed skype already [04:05] !puregnome | Hopeless8009 [04:05] Hopeless8009: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [04:05] acerimer : i hooray for a while [04:06] sp78750: u can get the broadcom drivers for model 43XX by google linux broadcom wifi [04:06] maco, using the provided {hddtemp} in conky just ouputs as N/A, so i thought as a work around id setuid it and run ${exec hddtemp /dev/sda} instead [04:06] shayisaac: start skype and test your camera [04:06] acerimer : now i need to look for my webcam [04:06] acerimmer, not my problem, was trying to help venessa...

Press any key to exit." Ubu 10.04 AMD64 on a Dell Inspiron... Any ideas? Grub2 problem? [04:07] blendmaster1024: I'm sure if you right click it, something will show [04:07] maco, it is also just outputting N/A so the problem must be somewhere else, ill head your warning and restore hddtemp to root again, how do i do that? [04:07] KruyKaze I was try to figure that out also no luck though [04:07] acerimer : then - my internal webcam is not functioning [04:07] maco, but that doesn't make it happen *always* [04:07] HELP!

[04:09] blendmaster1024: a checkbox or something in the "open with" window [04:09] Jordan_U: it was that the cdrom drive was first in the boot list :/ [04:09] good evening guys: need help w/wireless connection not working [04:09] blendmaster1024: note there are TWO "open with" thingies. one in the right click menu, one in properties [04:09] wildbat: bash: /usr/local/lib/jruby-1.5.0.RC3/bin/rake: /usr/local/lib/jruby-1.5.0.RC3/bin: bad interpreter: Permission denied [04:09] wildbat: as root [04:09] blendmaster1024: i think only one lets you set as defaul [04:09] Motilon: what kind of computer do you have [04:09] shayisaac: what make/model of internal cam?

[04:10] bjs: did you make the grub partition "default" [04:10] screensaver is deactivated, power management is set to *never* turn off the monitor, yet the screen goes black after 10 minutes of inactivity: http://www.flickr.com/photos/43227559@N06/4610055273/ [04:10] boa noite :D [04:10] Motilon did you try and go to system>prefrences> hardware drivers and see what comes up [04:11] ploooop no idea: how do I do that? [04:11] kraig: compaq laptop, but ive used this wireless conn b4, didnt change a thing. havent used it in about 0 days though [04:11] bjs: it's some kind of BIOS thing, I remember I fixed it once [04:11] blendmaster1024: there's a "preferred applications" thing in system -> preferences, but i dont think it includes archive formats, and even if it did it wouldnt let you specify for .zip versus .tar.gz [04:11] BlackByte, how long have you been looking? [04:11] i'm guessing now that python's the thing that is screwed up.. can i apt-get from a chroot'd enviroment?? [04:11] kraig: will do, gimme a sec [04:12] ploooop: it boots into grub, grub just doesn't understand the new partition layout [04:12] acerimer : emm ... can i say that i dont see any of the drivers [04:12] shayisaac: wait 1 [04:12] kraig: "no propietary drivers are in use on this system" [04:12] acerimer : seems like it didnt installed [04:12] KruyKaze its was about 3 months ago I was setting up a gtx280 [04:12] acerimer : i mean the driver [04:13] maco, what about editing the backend config files? [04:13] :D I'm back === Stone420 is now known as G-Bleezy [04:13] green_scorpion, it is weird ~ root should have access to everything in the first place.... [04:13] BlackByte, that mean i'll do it through devil's pie :D [04:13] coz_ So uhm im currently running the livecd [04:13] thx [04:14] my installer wont work :(, i cant get it to actually load the installer, even when setting params from the command line of the installer [04:14] KruyKaze np [04:14] and I had to remove "quiet splash" from the command line and add "nomodeset" and "vga=792" [04:14] shayisaac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam take a look here and I suspect you'll be able to work out the solution. Sorry I couldn't give you a shorter more direct answer [04:14] green_scorpion, try jruby /usr/local/lib/jruby-1.5.0.RC3/bin/rake [04:14] nips, cool... now if you dont have much to backup on the previous install just go ahead and install lucid clean...however if you do have some things needed to keep try backing them up now [04:14] blendmaster1024: i wouldnt know where they live, sorry. i use kde :P [04:14] kraig: "no propietary drivers are in use on this system" [04:14] ACE : :D ... u already helped me a lot man ... ok .. i try that link for now [04:14] maco, heh so do i, i'm doing this as part of a program for someone else [04:14] Can I install it as if I was installing it using wubi? [04:14] blendmaster1024: but i definitely remember being able to right click a file and change its default application when i used gnome [04:15] bjs: Either re-install grub from a liveCD or at the rescue shell run "set" and look at the value for $prefix [04:15] (as in inside windows, but from linux?) [04:15] ACE : owh ... ya, i already check thru that page in ubuntu forum there [04:15] nips, linux inside linux or windows inside linux? [04:15] ACE : its juz doesnt show me how to install my hardware [04:15] bsd inside? [04:15] fbsd [04:16] Install linux inside linux under windos (my brain just melt) [04:16] ACE : my WINE also doesnt work whenever i need to install exe files [04:16] shayisaac: 1 last thing: do u have "cheese"? [04:16] ACE : i do have cheese [04:16] nips, just install again using wubi [04:16] should allow multiple installs [04:16] ACE : just install it this morning [04:16] Jordan_U: okie dokie, will reinstall grub [04:16] shayisaac: run cheese and see if u get a cam response [04:16] yes but if i do that my monitor will be all out of frequency again [04:16] well, thanks everyone for ignoring my issue. screw y'all later [04:16] ACE : no response ... juz dark - i tried that this morning as well [04:17] wildbat: no [04:17] shayisaac: ok that pretty much confirms you're going to have to research a bit until u find the right config [04:17] nips, oh I see you had used wubi on windows..... ah I have never used that before... I generally either dual boot with windows or only have ubuntu on a system as a clean install sorry [04:17] nips what ever happens you will still have windows to use [04:17] bjs: either that or MANUALLY reconfigure it ;) [04:17] ACE : hahaha ... emm ... anyway, wutz up wth my WINE? is it always an issue? i juz cant install any exe files [04:18] motilon: search the package manager for bcmwl-kernel-source [04:18] my installer wont work :(, i cant get it to actually load the installer, even when setting params from the command line of the installer [04:18] well I wouldn't want linux overwriting windows :C [04:18] shayisaac: sorry dude. I don't DO wine! [04:18] kraig: k [04:18] so I made a usb patchstick installer with the startup creator in ubuntu. it says it works. but my mac 10.6.3 wont recognize it as a startup disk [04:18] green_scorpion, no idea what happen ~ never do ruby be4 ~ but seem root don't have ruby script engine access. [04:19] How do I enable two 8400GS for 3 monitors in 10.04 with Nouveau? [04:19] ACE : ooo ... i juz found like - the things sounds so useful. Hmm ... can i ctinue with another questions bro? [04:19] shayisaac: on the webcam, you're not alone, so it's more a matter of searching out the right answer [04:19] shayisaac: yeah, WINE has a few problems, but it's the best windows emulator there is IMHO... why do you think EVE recommends it? [04:19] shayisaac: ask. [04:19] maxxist: Apple's BIOS implementation is broken, it doesn't allow you to boot from USB [04:19] the superdrive on my mac doesnt read anything anymore(no surprise there). so I cant boot with a cd. [04:19] kraig: not ibstalled [04:19] ACE : owh :D [04:19] kraig: not installed* [04:19] Apple doesn't use BIOS [04:19] never has [04:19] Chascon: !?!?!? [04:19] ACE : emm ... u know bout firewire expansion card? [04:20] used to be Open Firmware on ppc [04:20] and on intel it's something else [04:20] Jordan_U, i guess i will have to learn network boot then. [04:20] shayisaac: sorry. i've got a hackintosh, but haven't yet tried to install firewire [04:20] wildbat: just an example....the command jruby works....when i try sudo jruby i receive command not found [04:20] let me see what the new firmware is called ... [04:20] kraig: shoudl i install it? [04:20] ACE : i am an active videographer and just switch to ubuntu due to frustrated with windows and cant afford to buy a mac [04:20] my lynx install cd wont work :(, i cant get it to actually load the installer, even when setting params from the command line of the installer [04:20] ACE : ooo [04:20] Tatsel :O [04:21] Chascon: Apple has a BIOS implementation, that's how you can run windows on intel macs. [04:21] Motilon: did you try and restart it since this happened and is the indicator still in the panel [04:21] shayisaac: i understand. the answers ARE there but you're going to have to spend a bit of time researching [04:21] shayisaac: like I said, WINE = problems [04:21] ACE : hahhahaha [04:21] yes [04:21] shayisaac: that said have you installed ubuntu-studio yet? [04:21] I am still wondering about why the new version of ubuntu failed to work for me, even though version 9.10 worked for me [04:21] Toucan: :o what [04:21] Jordan_U: I vbelieve you mean bios simulation [04:21] after installing restart your computer and try that [04:21] ACE : erk ... eh? we do have that eh? [04:21] and it's that simulation that enables you to use accel [04:21] Chascon: EFI? [04:21] shayisaac: look up your program on the appdb on the WINE website [04:21] green_scorpion, i think you have just installed ruby for the user only ~ so root don't have the correct env set up for running the ruby script [04:21] yes [04:21] ACE : where to get it? software center? [04:21] Gozar: that's it [04:21] Toucan: no idea D: [04:22] shayisaac: oh HELL yes! ustudio is the bomb - it installs over ubuntu [04:22] Chascon: BIOS is an interface, as is EFI. Apple's firmware implements both interfaces. [04:22] Toucan: wont work for me either, at least not a fresh install [04:22] ACE : owh ... i need to land on some websites or just software center? [04:22] I had version 9.10 then version 10.04 came out, I downloaded it via the torrent [04:22] shayisaac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio [04:22] I copied to computer [04:22] downloaded it [04:22] installed it* [04:22] I've always thought that BIOS is firmware. It's always referred to in that way [04:23] and the screen kept goign screwy on me [04:23] ACE : i'm running to the site ... :D [04:23] shayisaac: might i also suggest u check out a book "Crafting Digital Media" [04:23] before I got to the login screen [04:23] kraig: indicator still in the panel. restarted more tha a couple of times. i can see available wireless networks, bt wont connect to none, and if i try to connect to my (hidden) wrls conn; the "connect" button is disabled... [04:23] shayisaac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio [04:23] Toucan: at least you got it installed, ive only been able to get it installed with a distupgrade [04:23] I said screw it and installed windows [04:23] ACE : bro, what does it mean "running from the DVD"? [04:23] I wasn't going to deal with it [04:24] shayisaac: the ubuntu upgrade option is here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu [04:24] ACE : "Install Ubuntu Studio from the DVD " [04:24] Chascon BIOS is very low level software as in assembly [04:24] anyone have a good website to follow for a network boot lucid install? [04:24] shayisaac: only need dvd for a clean ustudio install [04:24] ACE : i need to burn ISO first? [04:24] Toucan, you could try 9.10, i havent had problems with it yet [04:24] shayisaac: you can mount it in ubuntu [04:25] I had 9.10, I was going to upgrade it to the new version, but since I couldn't get it uploaded I thought it my be a bug [04:25] ACE : erm .. starting by juz download it first to my Downloads folder? possible? [04:25] what is the command to open a file the way nautilus does? [04:25] Motilon how about disable and renable [04:25] Jordan_U: ok. I'm seeing that here on http://www.intel.com/technology/efi/ [04:25] shayisaac: NO NO NO! you've got ubuntu - full upgrade command on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu [04:25] Chascon: It depends on context. Since most PC hardware's firmware implements a BIOS interface people often refer to the firmware as the BIOS. That's not incorrect, it's just a different context. But the semantics aren't that important anyway. [04:26] ACE : oooo .. i see ... its sumthing like built in program rite? [04:26] shayisaac, if you have one desktop GUI envrioment you can instal other any desinstall firts desktop [04:26] shayisaac: download's is fine [04:26] kraig: tried all that: no luck, even though my conn is automatic [04:26] shayisaac: sudo mount -o loop -t (image here) /media/(somthing) [04:26] Toucan, I got a distribution upgrade done, but cant even get past the splash screen to the install cd [04:26] Hi there everyone. Dunno if anyone can help me here since #mythbuntu is awfully quiet. I got the 32-bit version of Mythbuntu downloaded and burned. Running AMD Sempron @ 1.6GHz with 1GB of RAM with the following hardware: 80GB Drive, ATI Radeon 9250 AGP, Modem (for Windows dualboot) and BT848 Video Capture. I get to the boot up and it freezes up with flashing white cursor. Any ideas? [04:26] shayisaac: u studio is add on packages to ubuntu [04:26] if you use gnome ubuntu or kubuntu o xubuntu you can ubuntu studio, no need download [04:26] shayisaac: and don't forget to make the directory [04:26] p1oooop, stop! stop! [04:26] I have no clue devinsba [04:26] yes stop [04:26] PLOOP : that sounds like clashing with ACE ideas [04:27] shayisaac: of course if u WAN [04:27] blendmaster1024: lol, sorry [04:27] PLOOP/ACE : =| [04:27] u can download the dvd [04:27] shayisaac, yes it is, which is why i'm telling him to stop [04:27] Toucan, me neither, i cant seem to get any help though, lol [04:27] ACE : owh ... ok ... hahahha [04:27] BLEND : owh ... :D [04:27] acerimmer: ok let's all slowdown here...~( [04:27] shayisaac, press alt+f2, type "gksudo synaptic", press enter, then type your password === kylezoa_away is now known as kylezoa [04:28] lol devinsba, I think that they should fix this so that all of the joins and parts don't show up, as it is quite annoying, and I'm sure others leave because of this very reason as well [04:28] ACE : so, is it that an idea for me juz go to the sites you adviced juz now? [04:28] shayisaac, no. no. no. [04:28] shayisaac, press alt+f2, type "gksudo synaptic", press enter, then type your password [04:28] BLEND : basically, what does that function? [04:28] shayisaac: bookmark the sites. you'll need them for later. [04:29] shayisaac, it will open the program installer, which will then allow you to install ubuntu studio [04:29] ACE : owh ... ok. Thats very first thnag i should do then [04:29] blendmaster1024: thanks. think we all confused him [04:29] oh yeah, the repos... [04:30] acerimmer, yes, i figured [04:30] which is why i'm telling this in two lines [04:30] I forgot... good job blendmaster1024 [04:30] Toucan, Yeah definitely would help [04:30] p1oooop, acerimmer: as opposed to 10 [04:30] Motilon:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&page=188 [04:30] BLEND : hohoho ... u mean the synaptic? hahha ... i normally open it direct from the system [04:30] so, anyone up for some PXE fun? [04:30] :) [04:30] Motilon: tell me if that sounds right [04:30] http://pastebin.com/HSfSFveX anyone see anything wrong with this? [04:31] shayisaac, yes, but i was trying to avoid making you do too much, so i can tell it in two lines. not sure how much you know, so i guessed low [04:31] kraig: thx, will check [04:31] ALL HELPFUL FRENS : yep .. i saw lot of ubuntustudio packages [04:31] well given that apple [04:31] BLEND : :) [04:31] dpkg --search /etc/samba/smb.conf [04:31] I need a little help getting my lucid install working if anyones got some time [04:31] 's bios support is broken [04:31] shayisaac: here's the command line to get all packages if u want http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NeGZwLD4 [04:32] when will linux support EFI? Or is that here already? [04:32] EFI? [04:32] bios [04:32] Chascon: have you tried rEFIt? [04:32] maybe someone will help me with running dpkg --search /etc/samba/smb.conf and tell me the result [04:32] shayisaac, so now search for ubuntustudio by clicking on the search button (not by using the little quick search box) [04:32] ACE : does that mean i need to run to the TERMINAL and type the wget things? [04:32] p1oooop: its what apple uses instead of BIOS [04:32] BLEND : emm ... sounds better sense here [04:32] yes, but I mean why don't linux distros include that [04:32] shayisaac, disregard everything everyone else said, they hadn't figured out what you wanted to do [04:32] ? [04:33] rather than having to download that before hand [04:33] shayisaac: go with blendmaster [04:33] BLEND : hohohohoh ... i do have lots of ubuntustudio things [04:33] I mean if I recall that was the routine some time ago [04:33] Chascon: I believe it does [04:33] ACE : okay bro ... thankz for ur warm help ... really appreciate that [04:33] I need a little help getting my lucid installer live cd working if anyone has time [04:33] Chascon: and I THINK GRUB supports too [04:33] ACE : :) [04:34] shayisaac: take care :) [04:34] maco well apple is one of the few using it on pcs [04:34] shayisaac, well .. actually ... do you know how to get to a terminal? [04:34] accel supported right off the bat now too? [04:34] shayisaac: enjoy the studio. a mac guy will love it. [04:34] if you have desktop ubuntu or kubuntu or xubuntu, you can install desktop ubuntu or destop packages [04:34] BLEND : yep ... i already open it up and being mumbled with so many weird syntax already ... hahaha [04:34] kraig: mine is atheros AR5001... [04:35] shayisaac: the terminal IS THE TOOL... it's just kinda hard to use [04:35] motilon:then you should have had madwifi [04:35] ACE : yep ... hahaha ... its just that MALAYSIA give high price for mac with so nonsense [04:35] shayisaac, run exactly this on the terminal (minus the outside quotes): "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt" [04:35] I did a clean install of 9.10 do I have to reinstall drivers for processor nad main board or no [04:36] is there a way to see what packages i have apt-get installed? [04:36] woah whoops very long line [04:36] kraig: yes [04:36] BLEND : ok ... got it [04:36] [04:36] blendmaster1024:here's ustudio command line for all ustudio packages - copy/paste to command line http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/NeGZwLD4 [04:36] when you first installed ubuntu was it offered to you [04:37] acerimmer, i know, that's what i gave him, except that i changed it to apt-get [04:37] blendmaster1024: me typing you typing. no prob [04:37] shayisaac, when it asks "do you want to install [y/n]" hit y and then enter [04:37] kraig: i guess so, i didnt change a thing, except i did install aircrack [04:38] Motilon, i saw a crack in the air the other day [04:38] i walked over to it and it turned out to be a shader error [04:38] BLEND : yep ... emm. this code looks understandable [04:39] BLEND : i juz sumtimes confuse with wget, apt-get and that sudo dpkg things [04:39] what's the command to query for the GPUs and their names and such?

[04:40] BLEND : anyway - while waiting for it to finish the installation - may i ask bout the most basic syntax apart from sudo?

[04:41] thank you [04:41] shayisaac, sudo [command] means run [command] as the super-administrator. linux calls this super-admin "root". [04:41] is there a way to see what packages i have apt-get installed? [04:41] Buhmillion: wait... doesn't it change with the new grub and the old grub? [04:41] p1oooop, thanks worked [04:41] ACE : the last time iMAC that i used - the most basic features one is RM 5K [04:42] did anyone reply to my question? [04:42] ACE : damn slow for my final cut pro [04:42] Matilon: did you patch your driver before you installed aircrack [04:42] Sirisian: you should thank blendmaster1024, LOL [04:42] !language > shayisaac [04:42] shayisaac: and THAT'S why I turned mydell into a hackintosh [04:42] shayisaac, please see my private message [04:42] shayisaac, apt-get [type of thing] does various program-install stuff. apt-get install [names] installs [names] [04:43] shayisaac: where can we see your stuff?

[04:45] sam_2007, yeah [04:45] wildbat: you can just type python and then do simple math in it..... just type exit() when you are done [04:45] BLEND : "apt-get install [names] installs [names]" means i just change the [names] with the file names, rite?

Emm ... malaysian broadband not so reliable ... 512KB for download ... that just horrible [04:47] sam_2007, look like a borked dependency [04:47] ohhhh [04:47] really. [04:47] BLEND : half an hour to go , man === Mike is now known as Guest39059 [04:47] does anyone know why the feh script at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox isn't working for me? [04:47] sam_2007, i would try installing dictd and then trying again [04:47] shayisaac: yeah but you'll love the result [04:47] ACE : let me check for you ... he have several accounts for the company [04:48] I just upgraded to 10.4 and it broke my nvidia driver... everytime I boot, I get a message "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode [04:48] myron, HAHAHAHA everyone i know gets that and it's hilarious because it's because of an "upgrade" [04:48] myron: i get that even on clean installs [04:49] ACE : these are my works ... http://www.masteryacademy.com/estore/dvdsmain.asp ... but let me check where the programmer put the videos for viewers [04:49] ACE : most of the videos i've done is for sale [04:49] * King_Ozzy is invisible, woot [04:49] could anyone assist me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=996830&highlight=hot+rotate&page=49 [04:49] myron: theres somthing going on with the time the nvidia driver is taking to load and gdm starting up. - all during beta. i would have the issue.. then not.. then it would come back [04:49] yeah, but when I use nvidia-xconfig, and reboot, I still get the same error message [04:49] myron: i found if i just restart the gdm service. it then works. [04:50] myron: it has nothing to do with the config. Its seems to be a matter of timing. [04:50] myron, install the commercial nvidia driver [04:50] myron: when i have it happen i tell it to exit to the console and do a 'sudo service gdm restart' and most all the time X then loads fine [04:50] and how shall i accomplish that? [04:51] If yo have the nvidia-config tool installed.. then you proberly are using the nvidia 'comercial' driver. [04:51] ACE : this is one that free one for viewer ... hahaha ... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1319092380055&ref=mf ... just the christmas wish [04:51] After doing a clean install to 10.4 Do I need to reload drivers for mainboard etc? [04:51] right, and I also have the nvidia utility under administration. [04:51] shayisaac: so i see you've been BZ! [04:51] myron: there was supposed to be a 'fix' where you increase a timeout in a few of the gdm config files. but im not sure if its totally works. [04:52] ACE : BZ in the sense of busy or BaZi? :) === Guest54411 is now known as klunka [04:52] Ubuntu/KFreeBSD [04:52] shayisaac: busy dude busy [04:52] hey, i've got a netbook with 10.4 UNR installed on it, and i'm trying to configure the "extra" buttons that these things come with - they don't appear as keyboard events, and i've dug through /dev and /proc as thoroughly as i can with no results. does anyone have any suggestions on how to figure out where events from these buttons are getting sent? if i can figure that out i can write a kernel module to handle them or something === klunka is now known as Guest26596 [04:52] ACE : hahaha ... got it ... emm .. some sort. editing video is a hectic job [04:53] ACE : ... especially if u do for other people [04:53] ACE/PLOOP/BLEND : anyway ... where u all coming from? [04:53] shayisaac: totally off topic, what do you know about english teaching jobs in your area? cuz if ubuntu consulting doesn't work, that's my plan b [04:54] hmmm, I'm seeing that I should have waited to upgrade to 10.4 [04:54] acerimmer: seattle usa, bill gates lives 25 miles away [04:54] ACE : owh ... so, u do consulting ubuntu users? wow ... emm. But not ubuntu in MALAYSIA , of course. [04:54] This is for 9.10 by the way...I've just installed AWstats and the cron job doesn't run (well, I mean, it _runs_, it just no-ops) because of the ownership on /var/log/apache2 [04:54] shayisaac, i need zzzz, when that finishes, you should just be good, ask again if you need more help [04:54] acerimmer: Take your gun and kill him! Gosh, what are you waiting for? lolz [04:54] !test [04:54] hrm? [04:54] ACE : we have lots of English classes in here ... u juz come and set ur class .. i do have my own too! [04:54] thing is, /var/log/apache2 is mode 640 owned root:adm ... and the cron job runs as www-data [04:55] the www-data user's only group is the www-data group [04:55] BLEND : sure bro .. sorry for keep on bugging you [04:55] Alumin: make it root:www-data, I suppose [04:55] shayisaac: shayisaac gotta go here 's my last post http://ubuntu.com.my/ [04:55] I also can't enable compiz...hmmm [04:55] soooooo, my question is: better to change the cron job to run as root, or add the www-data user to the adm group? [04:55] ACE : rite up! [04:55] is there a way to see what packages i have apt-get installed? [04:55] patx: dpkg -l [04:55] hi, how can i save the terminal output to a file? [04:55] patx: dpkg -l [04:56] kzman: command > file [04:56] thank u [04:56] kzman: you mean your terminal program's scrollback? [04:56] if so, depends on the terminal program [04:56] kzman: However, that will destroy the file if it exists. If you want to append it, use >> [04:56] kzman: command > file.txt [04:56] ACE : hahaha ... so, u r also from malaysia laa? [04:56] patx: dpkg --get-selections [04:56] ACE : is it? [04:57] shayisaac: nah, seattle wa usa [04:57] ACE : owh ... the SBUX origin! [04:57] ACE : hahahaha [04:57] :) [04:57] acerimmer, shayisaac, please stop the offtopic. [04:57] what's with the annoying purple boot screen with lucid lynx? [04:57] ok dude ... sorry ... its me again [04:57] myron: Annoying? It looks fine [04:58] on my box it's purple with white text [04:58] speaking of "what's with the" [04:58] wtf is with the new name [04:58] theadmin, Alumin moetunes , i try to save a telnet conexion output, not save the output of a "static" command [04:58] I just did a clean install of 9.10 do I need to re install my drivers for mainboard etc like I would have to do in windows? [04:58] myron: uh, it should be purple, with Ubuntu logo and white "ubuntu" on it [04:58] I'm just calling it "eleven point oh four" [04:58] ahhh, yet another thing that appears to be broken in the upgrade... [04:58] Alumin: uh, It's ten point oh four actually [04:58] ken: probably not - unless you want to enable proprietary drivers for your video card, or some other piece of hardware [04:59] Lucid Lynx = Purple Haze [04:59] Hendrix would be proud [04:59] ken: best way to see - check and make sure things are working [04:59] ACE : do u receive my private chat? [04:59] theadmin: oh...no I had it wrong but what I should have said was ten point ten [04:59] Alumin: Eh, Maverick Meerkat? [04:59] yup [04:59] shayisaac: yeah [04:59] I enabled for the vid card is it good with updates or should I go direct to oem website to keep up with them? [04:59] I'm back! and i've installed xubuntu (currently using it) [04:59] that makes me cringe :P [04:59] * King_Ozzy wanders through without notice [05:00] nips nice one! [05:00] anybody have an idea for how to figure out where the heck Mystery Buttons on a laptop spit their output? [05:00] one thing, my monitor keeps nagging me unless i manually put nomodeset and 792 :C [05:00] thanks :] [05:00] kzman: telnet - I don't think you can - does man telnet give an option [05:00] i know that thinkpads write to the non-volatile memory usually... ideapads seem to be different [05:00] is there a way I can make GRUB boot using nomodeset and etc? like without me doing it everytime i boot? [05:00] Alumin: Someone suggested "Microsoft Manipulator" for the M release, but that doesn't really match up with current naming system [05:00] hahaha [05:01] Chascon: Linux can be booted from EFI using grub-efi, but there are currently issues with many graphics drivers when BIOS isn't available [05:01] nips if you decide to install it to the hd you can put the nomodeset and 792 into the grub file [05:01] how come my ubuntu install is slower than the live cd [05:01] ? [05:01] really fast CD, really slow HD? [05:01] heh [05:01] already installed to the hd [05:01] kraig: plz take a look at: [05:01] :] how can I edit the grub file? [05:01] kraig: plz take a look at: http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=937 [05:02] ubuntu__: my guess, the live cd caches things in a ram disk as you use them, making them much faster to access once they're loaded in [05:02] nips: Edit /etc/default/grub then "sudo update-grub" [05:02] nips try this sudo nano /boot/grub.cfg [05:02] when enabling compiz, I get "warn: no gplxrbconfig for depth 32" [05:02] alumin: well my hard drive is ata so that might be the reason, but i thought it would be faster... [05:02] I have a problem. I installed Icedtea and when I enter to th MySpace photo uploader Firefox crashes. Any idea on what is happening? [05:03] what should I do to fix this? [05:03] nips try Jordan_U first [05:03] ubuntu__: or you open top in terminal and see if somethings hogging the cpu [05:03] nips: BlackByte: recommended way is to NOT edit /boot/grub.cfg these days - edit the creation scripts in /etc instead [05:03] hey, I'm trying to follow this tutorial: http://djangoadvent.com/1.2/deploying-django-site-using-fastcgi/ but when I run "sudo initctl start svscanboot" I get the error "initctl: Unknown job: svscanboot" [05:03] mgmuscari: is there any way to do this is the original install to make it faster [05:03] mgmuscari old habits! [05:03] ubuntu__, sata/ata/scsi does not make much difference on a single disk [05:03] Jordan_U, BlackByte Ok I will! [05:03] BlackByte: i do it too ;) [05:04] all have sufficient bandwith to cope with most disk [05:04] mgmuscari: Usually you just have to change settings in /etc/default/grub. You very rarely need to edit scripts in /etc/grub.d/ [05:04] moetunes, how do i check that... i am a new ubuntu user [05:04] Jordan_U: good point - depends on what you're doing with it [05:04] sudo compiz --replace outputs: "warn: no gplxrbconfig for depth 32" [05:04] hi guys. is there a guide available somewhere on setting up empathy for SIP VoIP? [05:05] what should I do to fix this? [05:05] Is it better to go through hardware drivers for proprietary drivers or from the video card website [05:05] ubuntu__: well i guess it depends on your setup... might want to take a loot at how you've partitioned your drive. did you make a swap partition? [05:05] myron - does your montir support 32 bit? [05:05] ken: much easier to use the ubuntu packages for them [05:05] most lcds are 24 bit [05:05] ubuntu__: open terminal from the menu and type top - it has a column showing the cpu usage for each prog [05:05] ken: what manufacturer [05:05] compiz worked on 8.04, all of this is after upgrade to 10.4 [05:06] mgmuscari: Nvidia [05:06] myron: You have nvidia? [05:06] ken: just use the package provided by ubuntu for them [05:07] barnabas: theadmin's advice to run "sudo service gdm restart" fixed my nvidia driver, but I still can't enable compiz [05:07] mgmuscari, here is my setup, amd athlon xII 5200, gigabyte mobo, using mobo's graphics (no graphics card) and one sata hd and one ata hd [05:07] ken: if you must get the latest and greatest from the nvidia website, see if you can get a .deb for them, and use dpkg -i to install it [05:07] soreau: yes, and I have it working thanks to theadmin [05:07] mgmuscari oh and i forgot 4 gb of ram [05:07] ubuntu__: so what are your performance problems? [05:07] myron: It may have let you into X but your drivers are still broken for glx/3D [05:07] mgmuscari: Do I need to install for main board and other periphials or does ubuntu handle that background [05:07] myron could you try [05:07] glxinfo | grep direct [05:08] and glxinfo | grep vendor [05:08] mgmuscari during the setup it made a 2gb swap partition idk if that is enough or not [05:08] ken: most common hardware is supported out of the box [05:08] soreau: any settings I could check in the nividia tool under administration? [05:08] ubuntu__: that's fine [05:08] barnabas: direct rendering: yes [05:09] ken: forget about the old days of installing a bazillion device drivers under windows :) [05:09] moetunes, i doubt thats the problem because the cpu usage is usually about 10-20% [05:09] ubuntu__: it was just a thing to check... [05:09] ken: and pretty much all software or drivers you could need are usually available through Synaptic Package Manager [05:10] ubuntu__: what do you mean by "slow" anyway? [05:10] mgmuscari, basically everything is slower to start, and file trasfer is slower [05:10] ubuntu__: sounds like a disk i/o bottleneck. if you have it installed on an old IDE hard disk, then maybe your disk is feeling its age [05:10] mgmuscari programs are slower to boot up, (im not talking about internet speed when i say slow) [05:10] myron what happens if you open a console and type "compiz --replace" [05:11] sudo compiz --replace outputs: "warn: no gplxrbconfig for depth 32" [05:11] mgmuscari ok thanks i think the age is the problem because its a pretty old ide drive [05:11] myron: That means you need to reinstall the nvidia driver [05:11] ubuntu__: bad sectors and such can lead to disks being really slow [05:12] myron, have you somehow set your display to run 32 bit truecolor [05:12] mgmuscari and moetunes thanks for your help [05:12] ubuntu__: no problem [05:12] np === mirKat_ is now known as bukayo [05:13] if i have buttons on my laptop that do not generate events under xev [05:13] what's my best bet for trying to read those buttons? [05:14] myron how did you install the nvidia drivers [05:14] and i've tried evtest on all the devices under /dev/input. i've also tried tailing everything i could under /dev [05:14] no nvidia settings says that it is 24 bit colors [05:14] they are located in the nvidia-current package in lucid [05:14] Hey guys, I just got Ubuntu 10.4 and when I try to open a DVD source to use with Synaptic, I get an error called " [05:14] E:Failed to mount the cdrom." [05:15] BlackByte hey I'm back again [05:15] Is there a safe way to change the username (without touching the uid) on Lucid? I tried modifying the /etc/passwd file, but that simply locked my out completely; not being able to login using either the old or new username. I changed /etc/passwd back to normal. In the users-admin tool, I found no option to change the username. [05:15] barnabas: nvidia-current should be installed let me check [05:15] what was that command? I forgot :C [05:15] myron, if not try a dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current [05:15] nips nomodeset and vga=792 [05:16] myron, if they are sorry [05:16] yes but how do i edit grub? [05:16] That's what I forgot :P [05:17] Has anyone gotten the same error as I did? "E:Failed to mount the cdrom?" [05:17] barnabas: still getting used to 10.4 I think that synaptic is showing that nvidia-current is installed, but it is showing the hardy version installed [05:17] Hello. I've installed icedtea, how do I get firefox to use it? [05:18] BlackByte sudo nano [and i forgot] [05:18] myron, you need to ensure all your software sources are lucid [05:18] pkg manager [05:18] R0b0t1, the icedtea alternative to java? I think you also need to install the icedtea plugin. [05:18] nips one sec [05:18] flan_suse: Yeah... So, how do I do that? [05:20] oh and how can I access files from the Windows partition? I can only access those from where linux is installed :/ [05:20] R0b0t1, there should be a package with a name like icedtea6-plugin or something similar. [05:21] ubotu [05:21] E:Failed to mount the cdrom. [05:21] how can I install opera beta to another directory so that my stable release 10.10 doesn't get overwritten [05:21] barnabas: also getting "an error occurred whiile mounting /sys/bus/usb/drivers" on bootup [05:21] nips: "gksudo /etc/default/grub" then "sudo update-grub" [05:21] and error: driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting.... [05:21] do not think that has anything to do with your gfx prob [05:21] but a second problem indeed [05:21] Jordan_U thanks [05:21] What's the name of the Ubuntu bot? [05:21] nips: You can't access ext4 filesystems from Windows [05:21] nips: Sorry, typo "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" then "sudo update-grub" [05:21] bobbyyu: ubottu [05:21] nips as jordan_U says nips: Edit /etc/default/grub then "sudo update-grub" [05:22] ubottu [05:22] hello [05:22] E:Failed to mount the cdrom. [05:22] I wanted to know how to change the colors of windows [05:22] barnabas: yeah, I know... lots of things I've got to fix [05:22] I'm using gnome, but I can only change some colors on the theme [05:22] not all of theme [05:22] 'them [05:22] R0b0t1, I'd still recommend installing sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin instead, but it's up to you. You need to enable the Parnter repository, I believe, under "Other Software". [05:22] Roman Gallo [05:22] theadmin No I meant accessing them from linux [05:23] Agu10: the colors you can change. depend on the theme parts you are using. [05:23] ? [05:23] Agu10: it depends on the theme. [05:23] I can't change the background color of the window for example [05:23] why? [05:24] Agu10: it depends on the theme. and the 'theme parts' that spefific theme is using. [05:24] "Customize Theme" "Colors" [05:24] hi, my name is peur ingi eglsson, my website is www.petur.eu and my email is petur@petur.eu .. i jus thad 18 shots of gin and i want toknow cooool commands for linux to show my friends, please help me [05:24] Hey, I'm trying to share files between my desktop and my laptop via LAN, both of which are running lucid lynx [05:24] whatn shoud di so to mak linux ocool?

[05:24] peturi: Uh, we don't need your site or email.

[05:25] nips your ntfs partition will be picked up by ubuntu [05:25] Agu10: for example 'High COlor Inverse' has its own defined colors. you cant change any of them [05:25] peturi: ...lol [05:25] anyone know which packages are required? [05:25] Chazz: plz giv em advice what do tod [05:25] Agu10: the 'Human' controls you can change all the colors. [05:25] peturi, wow, 18 shots. well, i guess thing like sed or cat would be useful [05:25] only 3 charactgers [05:25] Dr_Willis: is there any one that allows me to change all of them? [05:25] eh sorry [05:25] hard to make a typo [05:25] Agu10: use a differnt set of Controls - [05:26] When I try to run alsamixer, I get this error: "cannot open mixer: No such device". I have not been able to find how to install alsamixer properly. I'm not even sure if that's what I need to do. Help! [05:26] thechris: w would be more useful in such case :D Only 1 character. [05:26] BlackByte yes it does but one of them in windows I have C: (where windows is installed) and E: where linux is installed (with wubi) I can access files from E: but not C: [05:26] * Dr_Willis must have 100+ controls and window borders in his themes.. [05:26] peturi, or ls [05:26] also if I write update-grub it tells me to run that as root [05:26] how can i do that? [05:26] nips: AAAH WUBI. They're under /host [05:26] Dr_Willis: I choose that "Human" controls, but I still see only 8 colors to change. 4 background and 4 text [05:26] nips, put sudo in front of it. [05:26] are they all that are used? [05:26] nips, sudo command [05:27] nips maybe that not a bad thing! [05:27] Agu10: yes. basically thats all that ive ever seen changeable. [05:27] barnabas: now x will start, but nvidia driver won't load at all [05:27] ok thanks :D [05:27] When there are short error messages, should I paste it on the Pastebin as well? [05:27] barnabas: I wait a few minutes, run "sudo service gdm restart" and it drops me to bash [05:28] sed [05:28] sed [05:28] what [05:28] peturi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:28] fdisk or [05:28] bobbyyu: If they are just 1 line you can put them right here [05:28] theadmin there's only files from E: in /host/ and I need to access those from C: (like documents and settings) [05:28] myron again checking the driver state is [05:28] Agu10: also it may be the window borders might affect colors also. but i normally just twiddle with all the settings till i find a theme setup i like. [05:28] por shoud i sudo those?? HAHAHAHA [05:28] nips: Maybe mounted somewhere under /media/ [05:28] glxinfo | grep direct AND glxinfo | grep vendor [05:28] Dr_Willis: I already set emerald as window borders === kylezoa is now known as kylezoa_ [05:28] barnabas: I reinstalled nvidia-current for lucid [05:28] but I still can't change some colors :-( [05:28] only floppies :C [05:28] just a sec, I'll run that === kylezoa_ is now known as kylezoa [05:29] I should be able to change more colors [05:29] is it safe to install ubuntu 10 on top of an existing win7 install where the current primary bootloader is the windows bootloader? === xod is now known as onats [05:29] Agu10: emerald is a TOTALLY diffrent beast. [05:29] and why can't I set gradients instead? [05:29] defn: Yeah, GRUB can boot Windows. [05:29] myron try to use the " hardware drivers option then [05:29] defn: only if ypu want to remove windows [05:29] Well, when I tried to add my Ubuntu 10.4 to use with Software Sources, I get "E:Failed to mount the cdrom." [05:29] What to do? [05:29] Agu10: emerald controls the decorations around the window. and you would use emerald to tweak those in 20000+ differnt ways [05:29] Dr_Willis: is there anything I could install to be able to customize the colors more? [05:29] theadmin there's floppies there [05:29] xangua: is that a joke? [05:29] defn: But you need a different partition [05:29] system->administration->hardware drivers [05:29] theadmin: *nod* [05:29] Agu10: emerald is also basically a dead project. It may not even be in the next release. [05:30] defn: Have one? Go ahead. [05:30] defn: It's either a joke or terribly misinformed. [05:30] nips try this mount -l and you will see where you windoz is [05:30] Dr_Willis: I already use emerald for borders, but I want to change the colors inside the windows [05:30] Agu10: install diffrent 'controls' from the various theme sites. theres also lots of themes in various repos and in the package manager not installed by default [05:30] Jordan_U: lol im just trying to make sure there's no weirdness with the new release [05:30] Compiz will make a replacement for Emerald? [05:30] grub2 etc [05:30] defn what are you wanting to do? install ubuntu with windows, install ubuntu on its own partition? install ubuntu and remove windows [05:31] Agu10: explore the differnet controls you can install then. then gnome-art tool can assist in installing them from the gnome theme sites [05:31] flan_suse: not really. [05:31] !emerald [05:31] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [05:31] Poop. [05:31] BlackByte how can I tell? :C [05:31] barnabas: ran hardware drivers and reported (version 96) recommended was inactive [05:31] nips tell what? [05:32] Of course in a year or 2 compiz may not be used much any more. :) who knows what the next gnome will have in it. [05:32] my friend accidentally uninstalled ntwork manager from ubuntu 9.10. then i downloaded network manager .deb install file but it does not install and is giving an error. please help. [05:32] barnabas: just a sec. rebooting [05:32] BlackByte how can i figure out where's my windows partition [05:32] Hi, during the install I type the chars appears at screen and ubuntu collect these information to detect my keyboard. I would like to reconfigure it please. What is the comm [05:32] Should I download Ubuntu 10.4 again? [05:32] beachbrake: just install networkmanager with apt-get , the packages must be in the cache [05:32] beachbrake: you can install network-manager and gnome-network-manager from the ubuntu cd [05:32] still [05:32] Dr_Willis: Who knows, we might have working wayland by then ;) [05:33] Is there something wrong with the one I have if I got that error message? [05:33] soreau: or we may be back to focusing on doing work - instead of eyecandy :) [05:33] Dr_Willis: but I don't like that there are some colors that I cannot change, and they interfere with my theme. sometimes I cannot read black text over black background!!! [05:33] I love Compiz. A testament to open source outdoing its proprietary counterparts. [05:33] Dr_Willis: Nah, that's sure to never happen [05:33] Agu10: mixx and match till you find what you like. thats the bottom line. [05:33] Hi, during the install I type the chars appears at screen and ubuntu collect these information to detect my keyboard. I would like to reconfigure it please. What is the comm [05:34] * Dr_Willis tends to just use the default Plastik or other blueish themes. [05:34] r3m: System - Preferences - Keyboard - Layouts, go there [05:34] r3m, System > Preferences > Keyboard [05:34] Dr_Willis: Also, aesthetics and candy can promote productivity in a round about way. Further, compiz has candy *and* has a great functionality [05:34] thanks [05:34] Dr_Willis: oh [05:34] xangua, he inserted CD rom, went to software sources, clicked on 'install CD' , unchecked the unwanted option. [05:34] nips sudo mkdir /media/myWindoz then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/myWindowz if it is sda1!! [05:34] soreau: a few festures that help. :) if you can get the people to stop playing with the cube.. and fire on the screen [05:34] there is no network manager option there! [05:35] BRB -- rebooting to se eif my nvidia card still kicks into low-gfx mode on every reboot. [05:35] Dr_Willis: it just wont happen. someone will get lynched if compiz ever leaves ubuntu repos [05:35] soreau: if they can move the controls to the left. they can do anything. :P [05:35] BRB [05:35] beachbrake: "sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome --no-download" [05:35] deco, he can access internet only thorough windows. [05:37] beachbrake: If ifconfig does not show the network interface, it's likely a driver issue. Otherwise, it's probably configuration, nameserver or the like [05:37] BlackByte yey it worked! thanks :] [05:37] * greezmunkey takes a break from spinning the cube and says, what?? [05:37] heh [05:37] nips np [05:38] hi all [05:38] anyone can help me [05:39] ! ask | flames [05:39] flames: 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).

[05:40] myron I think you need to absolutely remove all that has to do with nvidia drivers [05:40] soreau... from apt-get old version [05:40] and then add nvidia-current [05:40] oh your graphics drivers are still broken myron [05:40] so all of the old versions [05:40] using synatpic [05:40] nips to make it permanant you need to edit /etc/fstab but make a backup of that filefirst [05:41] i want to complie kismet new core [05:41] flames: Ok, so which version do you want and why do you need a newer version? [05:41] no, I have to log in with low graphics mode, then run "sudo service gdm restart" then log in again, then enable compiz [05:41] hi [05:41] are any of you having difficulties with sabnzbd?

I didnt pay attention at first since i was interested in using airmon-ng (http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=938) and (http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=939). at 1st it did try 2 connect but...

Please help. TIA... [05:45] WXZ: pidgin have parameters. Use --pidgin --config=~/.DrWillispurple for example. [05:45] same with tomboy, I have notes relating to job, school, home and general [05:45] WXZ: compile from source and keep the binaries in those specfic accounts home dirs.. is one way [05:46] WXZ: man pidgin prob gives a way of starting with a profile you want [05:46] Dr_Willis: Or just extract the .deb file to a folder :D [05:46] How do I get the nvidia drivers support my correct resolution on my secondary display. When I add the correct resolution using nvidia-xconfig I get "X Server does not support resolution" [05:46] WXZ: but its not clear on why you are doing thois [05:46] theadmin: not sure that will work [05:46] can I do something similar for tomboy? [05:46] Dr_Willis: Works for me... if dependencies are there [05:46] WXZ: Check "tomboy --help" See if it support config paths. [05:46] theadmin: hes also a little vague on why hes doing this. [05:46] Dr_Willis: Yeah [05:47] ok, doing this for organization purposes.. I like diff. settings for diff. purposes [05:47] WXZ: so it has nothing to do with the VERSIONS of the tools.. [05:47] Dr_Willis: BTW I am getting the error on every bootup unlike your issue, but I will give this fix a shot and post to your topic with my results... [05:47] BlackByte http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/KFgs1qLq [05:47] no, for example I like pidgin to make a sound whenever I get a new hotmail message [05:47] myron: it would happen then vanish.. then comeback.. but i tend to just reboot every 4 days :) [05:47] but not so when there's a new irc message [05:48] My reboots usually happen every 2 - 3 weeks.

[05:50] hi to all [05:50] mgmuscari: k proberly means its 'kernel' related. why do you even think you need to stop it? [05:50] myron: Not sure how I helped but you're welcome ;) [05:50] hmm [05:50] Dr_Willis: Or kde related :/ [05:50] Dr_Willis: i really want to just be able to tail -f /proc/acpi/event [05:50] * felon sits back and thinks of a question to ask [05:51] theadmin: Not normally the case with services. :) [05:51] slt [05:51] yeah, mostly, but now I need to follow Dr_Willis' post on the forums to finish fixing it. nvidia drivers work, just have to reload gdm after boot up. else low graphics mode continues. [05:51] theres proberly 4 or so differnt processes that are kXXXXXX that are kernel things. [05:51] *Question* I have gnome-terminal settings the way I like, but would like to create a second, third "profile" to be used at will. 1) where are the default gnome-terminal preferences stored? [05:52] Dr_Willis: actually i can tail it, but for some reason even though i stopped acpid, the power button still opens the shutdown dialog, and nothing shows in /proc/acpi/event [05:52] mgmuscari: I think that is GNOME's doing :/ [05:53] theadmin: is there any way that i can look at raw acpi events? i have these hotkeys and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out where the heck they send their events [05:53] the other possibility is that they're going to the nvram considering this is a lenovo, but i don't know how to look at that [05:53] cat /dev/nvram is pretty useless === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:54] oh teh noes! there was an update going on and now it asks me if I should install grub [05:54] what should I do? :/ [05:54] nips http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/7jMfgEvK see highlighted part [05:55] BlackByte Thanks [05:55] Please disregard that question...I got it.

[07:16] mufasis: i see. the official recommendation is 4 gb. if you are using virtualbox, you can choose a resizing hard drive so that the full 4 gigs are not used right off the bat [07:16] yep [07:17] blackshell: yes by modifying fstab [07:17] try lsusb [07:17] blackshell: there is a nice python gui that use [07:17] ym:mind helping out? [07:17] drclue: so share the /media/ dir. or have pc1 rip the data files to some direcory .. and let pc2 reencode/cnvert from that shared data directory [07:17] fml i just clicked my name on the top right screen and clicked remove from panel how do i get it back [07:17] blackshell: ah yes it's python-fstab [07:18] !resetpanel [07:18] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [07:18] DrWillis: there is also some library I have to install to get past the stupid copy protection on my purchased DVDs to get the material on the net drive where TV files live [07:18] BAZHANG : i still try since yesterday to functioning my webcam [07:18] !dvd | drclue [07:18] drclue: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:18] but even cheese or skype also cant read the hardware [07:18] shayisaac, then use lsusb to get the device id string [07:18] ooo [07:18] drclue: theres numerous guides that tell what you need to install for that. [07:18] [07:18] shayisaac, and check the list of supported webcams [07:18] !webcam | shayisaac [07:18] shayisaac: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [07:19] "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp.

[07:21] hello [07:22] blackshell: yeah, sudo apt-get install pysdm [07:22] blackshell: type that at the command line [07:22] ubuntu can ping windows but windows can not please help [07:22] blackshell: then launch it with "sudo pysdm" [07:22] hello [07:22] So drWillis: , will the libdvdcssX live on the machine with the DVD player , or the one doing the ripping? [07:23] shoot and i removed the icon that had which wireless connection i was using [07:23] tsusa27: i think you'll have to right click all the ones on the right and uncheck "lock to panel" first. [07:23] ym:thanks man [07:23] how can i have ubuntu startup in console mode [07:23] drclue: Do the libdvdcss method on the machine with DVD player. (So it can read css stuffs). [07:23] whick is the smallest FTP server whick works in ubuntu 8.04? sorry for my bad english [07:23] like ctrl-alt F# [07:24] red2kick_: thanks for that, was not sure from my initial reading which part of the process needed the lib [07:25] bye all [07:25] which is the smallest FTP server which works in ubuntu 8.04? sorry for my bad english [07:25] Bye. [07:25] blackshell: np [07:26] bajdec: you can just go into Synaptic and check... i imagine they all have about the same harddrive requirements. [07:26] shang a rang dang a bingy dang dang [07:26] Gosh I wish the empathy chat program could be a little smarter about autoscroll and honour manual scroll backs Yiff [07:27] !en | glob :] [07:27] glob :]: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [07:27] drclue: i boycott empathy. lol. pidgin and xchat all the way. [07:27] which is your the best FTP server? [07:28] !ftp [07:28] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [07:28] empathy and evolution kinda suck [07:28] i thought filezilla was windows only for the server... [07:28] the client is multi platform [07:29] featherofmaat: I use pidgin too , but often try out *suggested* software in the Ubuntu scheme and empathy really has some nasty holes that pidgin did not [07:29] any takers on my gnome icons question before i go to bed? [07:29] does exist any torrent application for console with WebUI? [07:30] (I'm from Slovenia and 14 years old) [07:30] drclue, I preferred Empathy, much simpler in my opinion...Cleaner [07:30] bajdec: deluge has console and webui, so does rtorrent [07:30] i get nervous about any new im clients ever since kopete destroyed my contact lists. [07:31] featherofmaat: in my latest coding project connecting HTML5 clients to the Asterisk PBX, I tried to use Empathy for that too, but alas Empathy again was simply not ready for prime time and I used Twinkle for the softphone [07:31] Can Ubuntu, in theory, damage the windows bootloader during the install? [07:31] drclue: You should use the `lame` computer to create 1:1 disc copy. Then just send the *.iso to the other computer. [07:31] theadmin: damage it? it replaces it entirely [07:31] theadmin: in theory - ubuntu installs GRUB overwriting the normal windows bootloader. [07:31] theadmin: unless you tell it to do otherwise. [07:31] Dr_Willis: Uh, well, it chainloads, right? [07:32] theadmin: doesn't chainload unless you set it up to. you're saying that grub won't boot into windows? [07:32] actually no it dosent chainload the 'bootloader' it boots windows directly i think. [07:32] I was install U(buntu)-lite to USB and it was delete my GRUB on laptop :D [07:32] What I mean is after installing Ubuntu over here and trying to boot into Windows I get something along the lines of "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" on a BSoD [07:32] You COULD have grub chainload a 2nd hard drive. if you wanted [07:32] I hope you understand [07:32] theadmin: that shouldebnt be related to ubuntu at all [07:32] Dr_Willis: Well, who knows... Windows is weird [07:33] [07:33] red2kic: I tend to in general agree with your idea of doing the base line rip on the 2004 vintage machine and reworking it on the newer equipment if that is going to work out (fingers crossed) [07:33] drclue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:33] part [07:33] theadmin: you can get your windows bootloader back if you think that's a problem [07:34] featherofmaat: That's what I did, used the install CD to "recover" windows (it did not overwrite GRUB, surprisingly, it just worked from there on) [07:34] Dumb flood bot [07:34] theadmin: the recovery might have done something to it [07:34] theadmin: i am not sure. the best way to get a windows bootloader back is not to recover. it is to get a command line from the recovery cd - so you do a ctrl-break - then do fdisk /mbr [07:35] theadmin: it will totally wipe grub out, but then you can boot from an ubuntu cd and restore it [07:35] featherofmaat: Well, it seems to work now, it's just kinda weird === fisted_ is now known as fisted [07:36] hmh. Recovery seemed to wipeout a recent firewall install. Maybe that was the problem. [07:37] theadmin: weird. windows may have just been hiccuping. [07:37] * wildbat dances~ [07:38] is there a way to remove a network interface so that it autodetects and reinstalls on reboot ?? [07:38] hall, meine Frage wäre, wie ich für Pocket PC Programme,die leider nur in .exe runterzuladen gibt mit ubuntu und synce auf den pocket pc bekomme [07:38] offermann: Ich glaube das unmoglich ist, also deutsche support in #ubuntu-de [07:39] ubuntu 10.04 uses grub2. i wanna install [07:39] xp [07:39] hi all [07:39] ubuntu 10.04 uses grub2. i wanna install xp as dual boot... any help.?! [07:39] geekyogi: installing windows first is always the best option. [07:39] geekyogi: it should work fine. Install windows first - yes. [07:39] how do i install ubuntu onto another drive from my current ubuntu -- i dont have a CDRom drive. id like to just walk through the dialogs like a regular install, is this possible? [07:39] I actually had a friend of mine suggest I get "Screenlets" to replace conky? does anyone have any opinions for that? [07:39] geekyogi: http://ubuntutotalnoob.blogspot.com/2010/03/getting-dual-boot-with-windows.html [07:40] RyR88: the 2 work radically diffrent. No reason you can tuse both.. but i dont like screenlets. [07:40] But i dont wanna spoil my current ubuntu install.! am good with my current ubuntu install.. wanna install xp on free space. [07:40] defn, you wanna install two ubuntu on the same PC? [07:41] wildbat: yes [07:41] geekyogi: See the link I posted, it has a comprehensive guide on how to do it [07:41] im doing a fresh install of 10.04 [07:41] geekyogi: you'll have issues then. Windows will overwrite the boot records [07:41] im running 9.04 on this drive/partition [07:41] i just want to install from the ISO onto the other drive [07:41] geekyogi: it might overwrite your ubuntu altogether. i've had windows installs completely ignore ubuntu. [07:41] Dr_Willis, well I can't seem to find a conky theme I'm liking that fits with lucid...and I'm terribad at actually making one/editing them myself [07:42] defn, just get the iso in ur drive a do loopmount in grub2 to boot the iso [07:42] anyone know a java-decompiler i can get from synaptic ? [07:42] featherofmaat, but i guess masterboot records could be changed back to ubuntu [07:42] using live cd [07:42] RyR88: theres 1000;s of examples of them out. theres not much to a 'theme' its all about showing what info you want. [07:43] geekyogi: yes, your bootloader can be easily fixed, but i am saying that the windows installer may erase ubuntu altogether [07:43] featherofmaat, am gonna install on free space [07:44] geekyogi: if your windows installer recognizes ubuntu and gives you partitioning options then ok [07:44] in my experience with xp, it doesn't ask any questions at all and just takes the whole drive over [07:44] all i need is a way to list windows xp on ubuntu boot record.. since.. now ubuntu uses grub2, am not sure how to fix it.. [07:44] geekyogi: hes saying windows may think ubuntu IS free space [07:44] geekyogi: Windows is evil, it tends to wipe out the entire drive AND boot record unless you are insane with a computer === piju[QRT] is now known as piju [07:44] CaptainTrek: Just put it on a separate partition, sheesh [07:45] is there a way to remove a network interface so that it autodetects and reinstalls on reboot ?? (Lucid Lynx) [07:45] am gonna install on free space, CaptainTrek [07:45] geekyogi: i've tried what you're doing multiple times. with one success out of 30 installs xD [07:45] geekyogi: you arent listening to us, are you. [07:45] >.> [07:45] I've been trough all of it... Managed to get it to work [07:45] !away > piju [07:45] piju, please see my private message [07:45] well, if you can get windows to install ONLY in free space - and i am not sure you will be able to - but IF you can, then just install grub from a livecd, boot into ubuntu and do sudo update-grub [07:45] CaptainTrek, am listening. But have to do this.. Need Windows xp.. for playing games. :P [07:46] red2kic ok [07:46] featherofmaat, have to try tat [07:46] sudo update-grub [07:46] geekyogi: okay, but BACK UP EVERYTHING you wish to keep from Ubuntu first [07:46] geekyogi: trust me, back it all up first. [07:46] geekyogi: i am not endorsing this, for the record [07:46] back everything up [07:46] CaptainTrek, oh k [07:46] i do not trust windows installers [07:46] Ya.. will make backups [07:47] I don't trust windows in general :/ [07:47] lol. [07:47] same here.. Windows sucks.! but many games dont work well on wine, playonlinux and crossover [07:48] lol almost nothing works on wine [07:48] erm [07:48] !ot [07:48] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:48] i have heard that perfect world international does but i haven't the patience for the download. [07:48] anybody have ever heard of SERTEK webcam? [07:48] i have a great many games that work fine in wine. [07:48] built in one [07:48] ok sorry captain. [07:48] shayisaac: negative [07:49] Dr_Willis: wine is pretty messy anyway :D [07:50] Dr_Willis: Do you have a ton of "A WINE Application" in your "Open with..." menu in Nautilus, too? [07:50] theadmin: nope. none at all.. [07:50] shayisaac: by asus? [07:50] Dr_Willis: Well weirdness [07:52] hi all, by default, ubuntu is logging me with teh user i created, using Gnome, how do I login as Super user / root by default ? [07:52] chouchou: you cant? [07:53] did anyone ever find anything about my problem? kernel 2.6.31-21 won't boot on a Karmic wubi install [07:53] chouchou: as in its not allowed, and we cant give you tutorials in it [07:53] ok, is there a way for Ubuntu to start with Shell by default so I can enter my root acccount there ? [07:53] chouchou: depends on the details - yes. several ways [07:54] I just installed ubuntu, upgraded all the packages, installed the ati radeon drivers from the ati site. rebooted. Now i just get a black screen on all 3 monitors. No login options, nothing [07:54] I noticed on my end user account, the network is not activated and ther are many settings I did on the root which does not reflect on the end user [07:54] hello? [07:54] hello [07:54] hello?? [07:55] hello? [07:55] lol [07:55] 。。 [07:55] Jello [07:55] o_O [07:55] and I did install php on a root account, but when when logged back in as a normal user, I can't access the php file again, ... permission error [07:55] stop the metroPCS ! ;p [07:55] is everyone having a good time? [07:56] digiProX_x: Well, not me [07:56] or is there a way to start nautilus with the root account ? [07:56] chouchou, sudo nautilus [07:56] what channel is ubuntu help? [07:56] chouchou: open a terminal, sudo nautilus [07:56] i would be having a good time if i good login to my system or at least give me screen to troubleshoot from [07:56] ok, [07:56] i need to install a program. I have the option of choosing between a .rpm, a .deb and .tgz file. Which is the rigth option for ubuntu? [07:56] sudo nautilus will help in many cases [07:56] hyde-d: your in it [07:56] how do I make my networking tool work on my end user account ? [07:56] diverdude: .deb [07:56] whats wrong theadmin [07:56] Diverdude: a deb [07:56] I can't browse the internet there === Claudinux_ is now known as Guest78574 [07:57] hyde-d: hence the topic ^ [07:57] hellfire: ok then I recently updated the driver for the video and then rebooted as I was told then now im right at the prompt... seem like I ve lost the video manager or soemthing like that [07:57] yes soorry i kind of stuck in text base right now :P [07:58] diverdude: you should always install from the repositories unless something is not available there, in which case you'll want .deb files [07:58] anyone think hellfire will answer him? [07:58] any answer for me pls ? [07:58] i just switched my xubuntu over to ubuntu, i did not know you could even do that [07:58] hyde-d: is the screen black? [07:58] chouchou: be patient, ok? [07:59] What's the name for N? :D [07:59] k [07:59] chouchou, and clearify what you are asking ..... [07:59] hellfire: not technically, whebn into prompt... just text baed [07:59] ok. now I know my netboot is working. virtualbox VMs even start off of it. why wont my mac?? [08:00] I don't know what configuraiton I did previously, it was able to start with a shell acccount [08:00] to let you know im on ircII at the moment [08:00] so im not sure where i can scroll up in the buffer [08:00] so I can login with my root account, access the internet and do whatever I like [08:00] chouchou, in a single line plzz [08:00] hyde-d: PageUp / PageDown [08:01] ubottu: RootSudo | chouchou, see this page [08:01] red2kic: i tried that but all get a tildie [08:01] theadmin: should I type that command ? [08:01] chouchou: It's supposedly a factoid :/ Our bot is lagging [08:01] chouchou, see this page: 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 [08:02] chouchou: you shouldn't even have a root account under ubuntu [08:02] ubuntu specifically avoids root accounts [08:02] hyde-d: no idea [08:02] I have a transparent Squid cache and behind it severak Ubuntu desktop computers. Will Squid cache package updates and save bandwith? Are APT repositories cachable by default?a [08:02] chouchou: you may want to start over from the beginning and state the actual problem a bit more clearly. I think we may be offtrack [08:02] ok, I understand, but my default user account, can't access the internet [08:02] hmmm [08:03] chouchou: it would be very odd that running firefox as root could access the internet, but not a user running firefox. [08:03] how did i loose the gui? right after it asked me to update the properity driver (sp) [08:03] hyde-d: video drivers are failing to load properly most likely [08:04] hyde-d: ive seen alot about black screening but nothing about text only [08:04] I can't access the network and the internet with my user account... which was different from the root account, it is true what I am saying.... and by the way, I have installed Ubuntu on Vmware, on my windows OS, there is internet connectivity there [08:04] dr_willis and chouchou: i have a suspicion that this is based on stored keys. there's a WPA or WEP and the user account doesn't have the network manager set up correctly. [08:04] chouchou: by default theres the 'inital' user that has sudo rights. You re saying that account you made at install cant access the internet? [08:04] chouchou: this is wireless networking you are refering to? [08:05] no, LAN [08:05] dr_willis then how do I fix this? [08:05] chouchou: that's weird. if an ethernet cable is in your port, it should work. [08:05] hyde-d: this is with an ATI card? [08:05] hellfire: well, im on text based... [08:05] featherofmaat: there goes the wep theory [08:05] no gui... so in this sense a driver messed soemthing up [08:05] hyde-d: start with the 'startx' command and look for error messages [08:05] right, i know [08:05] and for assurance, my windows PC is browsing well the internet, [08:06] before 10.04, the user-switcher-applet displayed my "Real Name", now, the MeMenu displays my username. How to fix? [08:06] chouchou: so if you login to the console as a user. can you do a 'ping 8.8.8.8' and see if it returns ping times? [08:06] ok, [08:06] Dr_Willis: 8.8.8.8? [08:07] 8.8.8.8 = google dns server :) [08:07] Hi! I just tested an ubuntu 9.10 machine and a mac on speedtest.net. The ubuntu machine is some 25 Mbps slower (90 vs 65). Why? [08:07] i have installed a program using a .deb package. When i run the installed program it says there is an update available, and it fetches a .rpm package. However, i dont know what to do with this package in order to apply the update. Any suggestions? [08:07] so I am trying to do a netboot on a macbookpro(with a dead superdrive). I know the netboot works(I have booted vm's in virtualbox off of it.) however when I hold down 'N' on bootup it brings up a picture of the earth, and flashes it repeatedly. but goes nowhere. any suggestions? the netboot install is ubuntu 10.04. Knowing that the netboot system is working fine, i assume its my mac. [08:07] Dr_Willis: o_O [08:07] dr willis: ok it's logged and it says no screens found [08:07] server error [08:07] Diverdude: Update it manually, the program is just dumb [08:07] Dr_Willis: Network unreacheable [08:07] Diverdude: dont worry about the updates if they come in rpm.. perhaps they will have a deb at the download site for the app you may want to use. [08:07] poi77: who knows. is it a loopback (wubi) install? [08:08] Dr_Willis: google...it must be nice to have enough capitol to get that address. [08:08] chouchou: now do a 'sudo -i' to get to a root shell (in the console) and try the same ping command. [08:08] poi77: It's native on both machines [08:08] theadmin, how do i update it manually? [08:08] Diverdude: Check the program's site [08:08] featherofmaat: It's native on both machines [08:08] featherofmaat: Same jack actually [08:08] greezmunkey: whats up [08:08] ok [08:09] he||phyre: not much , you? [08:09] poi77: no one knows. hardware. randomness. i don't think it speaks terribly for *nix [08:09] greezmunkey: bored and not tired... [08:09] maxxist, dunno mac ~ but may be a usb boot is easier? [08:09] Odd question, can someone tell me the difference between CPU0, CPU1, and CPU2 in the sensors? Because I DO have a dual core laptop, but which ones are the actual cores? [08:09] hmm. this is crazy now, Network Unreachable [08:09] he||phyre: #ubuntu-offtopic... [08:10] RyR88: they could be differnt sensors on the same cpu. different mb/cpud have differnt sensors. [08:10] some could be under the cpu, some could be on the cpu. [08:10] greezmunkey: i cant learn crap in offtopic.. lol [08:10] could be sensors on different parts of the cpu [08:10] kernel /casper/vmlinuz boot=casper root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=1048576 rw <---is this line still the same for 10.04? [08:10] he||phyre: ok! [08:10] Dr_Willis, so basically, they're all actually my CPU sensors? [08:10] chouchou: dumb question, but are you sure about your access point> [08:11] is it me or does ubuntu have piss poor support for multiple monitors and ati drivers [08:11] defn, think so [08:11] or more i guess that the ati drivers suck [08:11] MACscr_lappy: Right. [08:11] MACscr_lappy: it's not you [08:11] RyR88: yes. [08:11] how could something so basic and common these days be so crappy to setup? [08:11] MACscr_lappy: ati has poor linux support. [08:11] hi [08:11] I'm the only user with an ATI graphical card I know in the entire world which has it actually WORKING, out of the box! [08:12] lmao [08:12] bazhang: after rebbot i had to run 'sudo dhcp eth0'. how to tell ubuntu to use dhcp automaticaly? [08:12] RyR88: my amd quad shows as 0,1,2,3 [08:12] theadmin: 800x600? [08:12] ati support is better then some other video chipsets at least. :) [08:12] greezmunkey: 1280x800, why? [08:12] theadmin: o. [08:12] theadmin: mine works out of the box if i want 2 of my 3 monitors working and 2 of those mirroring each other [08:12] can anyone help me with an install error? im installing an SNES emulator from source [08:12] theadmin: just wondering what your secret is, that's all. [08:12] dzlterm: this really isnt the place for that [08:12] featherofmaat: I am pretty sure otherwise I won't be connected here, on windows, I have installed Ubuntu on a Vmware virtual machine, [08:12] is it easy to set up 2 graphic cards from nvidia working together ? [08:13] chouchou: chedk the output of 'ifconfig' see if your wired nic has an actual inet addr: for its ip#. [08:13] dzlterm, why don't install from apt [08:13] greezmunkey: Well, no idea :D It just worked. Maybe because it's a fairly old card (ten years old, just like the lappy itself) [08:13] ok, , [08:13] its not in the Repos wildbat [08:13] chouchou: vmware? You are trouble shooting a linux system thats not getting networking inside vmware you mean? [08:13] is there a way to transfer all settings done in a root account to the user account ?

[08:14] well for the past 5 days, when installed, on vmware I used it sucessfuly, and it start with the terminal so I do login with the root account there before starting to work [08:14] dzlterm, get build-essential [08:14] Transmission 1.75 keeps freezing on my Ubuntu! [08:14] my ati never gave me issues 1280x800 [08:15] can i get that thru apt-get?

[08:15] how ?

If I create a file there with the intended hostname then hostname -f complains at me. [08:16] chouchou: if you just want shell access - you could just install the sshd on the ubuntu in vmware, and use putty from the windows machine to connect to it also. [08:17] wildbat, can i just enter Make again from the same terminal? or do i have to start the whole process over? [08:17] hi, how do i change the gdm theme in lucid? [08:17] things are very different to before [08:17] dzlterm: Should work [08:17] k [08:17] albert24: use gdm2setup [08:17] dzlterm, ya just make [08:17] I have a Transmission problem: should I take it up to a Transmission help channel? [08:17] albert24: short answer. you dont easially. Theres some tweaks you can do --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [08:18] albert24: thers some 3rd party tools that can help tweak it also. [08:18] why have things changed so much for 10 [08:18] it's like many steps back in 10 [08:18] albert24: gdm has been totally redone. thats the reason for the gdm changes. [08:18] albert24: and it was the gnome devs that did it. [08:19] willberg, is your hostname file own by root? [08:19] bah :( [08:19] * Dr_Willis dosent worry about a gdm login screen when it is only there for 10 sec. or less [08:19] There ya go. [08:19] I perfer the 30 sec boot time.. to gdm theming features :) [08:19] Hey. I'm getting a weird problem with Wubi, can anyone help? =D [08:19] gdmsetup doesn't allow me to change theme or anything [08:19] wildbat: it doesn't exist! [08:19] http://pastebin.com/sN1maHcV [08:19] albert24: theres some 3rd party apps that let you change SOME gdm settings. but its not as themeable as the old gdm [08:20] willberg, create it withour sudo [08:20] willberg, create it with* our sudo [08:20] got a new error [08:20] http://pastebin.com/sN1maHcV [08:20] albert24: --> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/gdm2-setup-gets-new-look-and-ubuntu-ppa.html [08:20] Dr_Willis: sucks! i like some of the new gnome, it feels much nicer than the gnome used in ubuntu 8 [08:20] using sudo su? Because I'd get permission denied otherwise [08:20] Hey. I'm getting a weird problem with Wubi, can anyone help? =D [08:20] should i honestly give up on getting my 3 monitors to work with ubuntu? I mean, if its not possible, there is no reason for me to waste my time with ubuntu [08:21] albert24: I dont bend too far over backwards for gdm themes.. I change the wallpaper and perhaps the fonts/colors and thats it. [08:21] MACscr_lappy: depends on the video cards/chipset [08:21] MACscr_lappy: i had 3 monitors working with my nvidia setup.

[08:24] When I reboot or start my computerr, often times (about 3/4) I'm confronted with the low graphics mode prompt. If I selected "Reconfigure Graphics" and then "Create new configuration", then lastly "Restart X" it will sometimes fix it for that session, other times not.

[08:25] to xorwhy - > I have that alot since the update - but I'm running nvidia's newest drivers off the site [08:25] ARandomNub: what's you problem [08:25] everytime ubuntu updates something in the kernel i gotta reinstall em [08:26] When I install Wubi, it downloads the necessary files and completes without error, but when I go to boot i up, it goes through the installing but fails and errors saying; "No root file system is defined". :( [08:26] *it [08:26] I am using the nvidia blob. The earlier blob does not have this problem, but the performance is reduced by a half at least [08:26] ubottu: wildbat: That's what I've been trying to do. Done it a million times before with no problems. I change /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname. Only today, /etc/hostname didn't exist before I first created it. And creating it causes an error message from hostname -f, and not creating it, my default hostname is used [08:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:26] oh well, thanks everyone [08:26] classvoid: I was going to try that next, so you installed the from-website version and are still experiencing problems? [08:27] willberg, creating it then reboot should do the job, no ? [08:27] classvoid: Oh good, I'll try that. Thanks! [08:28] wildbat: That's what I thought! But nope! [08:28] g'night peeps [08:28] greezmunkey: can I PM? [08:28] -_- [08:28] classvoid: Yeah I've installed that way before, using less user friendly distro's. [08:29] willberg, no idea then ~ [08:29] willberg, may be boot to recovery mode and try the process and see ~ [08:29] Anyone: Does anyone know why I get "No root file system is defined" using Wubi? [08:29] wildbat: Are there any particular permissions that need to be set on /etc/hostname? [08:30] willberg, root: root 644 in my box [08:30] ARandomNub: did you make one - or were given the oppurtunity to? [08:31] moetunes: No. I'm using Wubi, I basically selected which HDD I wanted it in, the size (30gb) and my language. [08:31] k [08:31] ARandomNub: then you did define a root fs [08:32] wildbat: This is so weird; the DNS is set nicely so that from the outside it resolves okay, i.e. using dig -x MY_IP I get the hostname I want [08:32] ARandomNub, i have that problem alot in 8.10 wubi be4 ~ you have to mount the img file by yourself :< [08:33] willberg, jsut try to change in single user mode w/o the net ~ and see [08:33] wildbat: It worked when I had Vista, but I'm on Win7 now and it just fails =[ [08:33] moetunes: it's on my spare 500 GB D: drive, where it was last time (when I had Vista) [08:33] wildbat: It's a VPS so I don't actually have physical access to the machine XD [08:34] ARandomNub, most likly windows changed the partitions, so the UUID changed. that coz the mount fail. [08:34] Dr_Willis: the command you sent to me, I was told that location is a directory [08:34] I m confused [08:34] ARandomNub: I've never done wubi - was just asking an obvious question to get others interested maybe [08:34] wildbat: Anyway to fix it or any kind of work-around? [08:35] willberg, ochie ~ no idea ~ sorry, let me know if you have a fix i would love to know~ [08:35] moetunes: it's cool, I'll just format the drive, download and burn it to a CD. It'll work that way, I hope. [08:35] every rebbot i have to run 'sudo dhcp eth0' to have internet connection. how to tell ubuntu to do it for me? [08:35] ARandomNub, just manually mount the root img file. [08:35] wildbat: I'm not sure how lol =D [08:35] ARandomNub: make sure to check the iso and cd once burnt [08:35] !md5 [08:35] 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 [08:36] ARandomNub, consult the internet with munt command and locate the img file from the grub config file. [08:37] ARandomNub, that y i didn't use WUbi after 8.10 ;p [08:37] wildbat: well, at the moment the only GRUB folder is in "D:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub" and it's currently empty. [08:38] Oh, nvm I'm an idiot lol [08:38] hidden ;p [08:38] Grub.cfg? [08:38] ARandomNub, yes [08:38] Can I pm you a sec, wild? I don't want to spam :x [08:39] ARandomNub, ok [08:39] does ubuntu stop providing updates for karmic after lucid is out? [08:40] is there a pidign channel?// [08:40] I can't get Tomboy to work at all! [08:40] it just doesn't open [08:40] I tried reinstalling it [08:41] wildbat: Thanks for you help, I think I may have fixed it - weird issues with the format of /etc/hosts and fully qualified domain names [08:41] and then uninstalling then installing it. But it still can't open [08:42] Hi people. I'm in Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 and installed virtualbox-ose but I can't run 64bit virtual machines. Only 32bit options are shown on machine creation. I've tried virtualbox-3.1 from Sun's repository but it's the same. What I should do to correct this? [08:42] Turicas: What processor is in your host (real) machine? [08:42] what package do i need so i can have a wireless network plugin on my panel? [08:42] 486DX33 [08:42] (xfce) [08:43] does anyone know if there is an alternative to using microsoft media server plugin? [08:43] willberg, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E1500 @ 2.20GHz [08:43] willberg, I also have ArchLinux64 here and can run 64bit machines there fine [08:44] Tuicas: I don't think that CPU supports hardware virtualisation - which is needed for 64-bit guest operating systems. This is seperate from the actual CPU being 64-bit [08:45] So I think I installed the Ubuntu One packages, how do I get it running? [08:45] Is the FGLRX driver usable and stable or should I avoid it still? [08:45] Turicas: For instance my AMD 620 has 'AMD-V', and intel has something similar. Only newer CPU's support it, and it has a bunch of instructions for virtualisations. Take a look in your (real) bios and see if there is anything like that - but I'm pretty sure no Celerons support it. I'm sorry! [08:46] hi. is it possible to put the boot partition on a HDD then after booting completely switch off said HDD? (I want to put the system on a memory card.) [08:47] willberg, the question is not about my processor supporting virtualization. the problem is that on ArchLinux it works! [08:47] when I try to do a backspace in a terminal session it doesn't work and I get garbage characters [08:47] Chx, Parted Magic does that with a CD. Once it's done booting, it ejects the CD [08:48] However, I'm not the one to ask about how to do it. [08:48] hm, nice. i will check then how to do it. [08:48] willberg, so you fix that? just wrong format in hosts @@? [08:48] i am not too eager on using a HDD again. with this current laptop i totally got unused to it but i am getting a pocketable laptop from my workplace and it has a hdd in it. i cant complain tho, that vaio p is sweet. [08:49] What's one of the best MD5 hash crackers for parallel implementation? [08:49] @All: Thanks for the help :] [08:50] Turicas: Then that's nuts! Here: http://ark.intel.com/VTList.aspx Says that the 1500 doesn't support VT-x, which I'm pretty sure is required for 64-bit guests. [08:51] wildbat: Yep! The /etc/hosts was in one particular format when the machine was first installed; so I continued to use that format (IP HOSTNAME) but I needed it in (IP FULLY_QUALIFIED_HOSTNAME HOSTNAME) format [08:51] Hello! Have a problem since upgrade to 10.04, now after a shutdown the computer won't power down. Anyone know why this might be?

[08:59] CHX : i've done that already and it is not listed [08:59] Hi, i'm a new user of Ubuntu. I have a pretty good level of computer knowledge. Ubuntu Lucid was my first experience installing an OS other than windows. I installed Lucid alongside Win7 on the same hard drive. However, recently, Ubuntu needed some updates. I updated, and now i have 2 different versions of ubuntu in my grub boot loader list. How do I lose the older one the correct way? [08:59] shayisaac: o_o [08:59] moetunes: i want to move the files from /home/blah/Downloads/phpbb3 to /var/www/rawr/ [08:59] shayisaac: *blink* [08:59] shayisaac: are you sure you plugged in the cam :) ? [08:59] hey guys [08:59] CHX : hahaha ... it is built in [08:59] moetunes: but JUST the contents of the files, not the phpbb3 folder [08:59] CHX : :) [08:59] any developers around [09:00] CHX : i do have another external one - but it is driverless [09:00] Hi [09:00] seems new ubuntu has issue with evolution wizard [09:00] Tully: you can use a for loop - for f in /home/blah/Downloads/phpbb3/*; do mv -v $f /var/www/rawr/; done [09:00] phil_, there is a toolkit in the settings that is like startup manager or something, check that out. [09:00] CHX : do u have any idea beb? the external webcam is china made [09:00] phil_, thats probably just a kernel version. Doesnt harm anything to keep the older versions. [09:00] !flash [09:00] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:00] phil_, you may not want to delete those entries though, it can be nice to have a different kernel to boot with if you accidentally mess up the current one, [09:01] shayisaac: what notebook is that [09:01] phil_: When there is a kernel upgrade Ubuntu keeps the previous kernel in case there is a problem with the new one, what you are seeing is the menu entry for the older kernel. You can remove the old kernel versions in System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [09:01] Hello everybody, maybe this is a well known problem with Lucid. I can't in/decrease the brightness of my (updated) ubuntu anymore. Tried smartdimmer -d manually, but i only get an "init_nvclock() failed!". I use an sony vaio fw31m. Brightness worked fine with 9.10. /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness says not supported. I can use ATI Catalyst to change brightness / gamma factor, but that is not very satisfying.... any ideas? [09:01] CHX : thats quite embarassing ... it is local brand in MALAYSIA - FTEC [09:02] Tully, did you manage? [09:02] moza: Yeah mate thanks [09:02] Where is my problem, because i cant set up personal filesharing? [09:02] moetunes: Cheers man, working fine [09:02] Tully: np :] [09:03] i can't see my any wireless network. how make ubuntu 'discover' my wireless? [09:03] it says that there is not right packages installed [09:03] (iwconfig shows me wlan0) [09:04] anyone? [09:04] ? [09:04] CHX : so ... u have any idea? [09:04] hallo? [09:04] hi [09:04] does Linux support matrix raid? [09:04] if not so ... then, anyone have the idea of installing my external firewire card? [09:04] any video experts around? [09:04] shayisaac: none [09:04] anyone? [09:04] it seems that my ubuntu doesnt recognoze that [09:05] :> [09:05] shayisaac: you might need a special kernel module [09:05] anyone know why when i try to use mdadm to create a raidset, it says "device or resource busy" ? they're not in use anywhere. i literally just formatted them. i even tried rebooting [09:05] moza: keep it in the channel pls [09:05] ok moetunes, sorry. [09:05] np [09:06] shayisaac: but maybe [09:06] anyone using the Dell XPS M1210? [09:06] what were you asking/ [09:06] shayisaac: pastebin ls -lR /proc/acpi [09:06] shayisaac: or just ls -R /proc/acpi , does not matter [09:07] I've just messed with the partitioning of my lucid install from a live cd, and I'm wondering what's the best way to update grub2 so that it recognises these changes. [09:07] !grub2 | blankthemuffin [09:07] Hello everybody, maybe this is a well known problem with Lucid. I can't in/decrease the brightness of my (updated) ubuntu anymore.

I can use ATI Catalyst to change brightness / gamma factor, but that is not very satisfying.... any ideas? [09:07] moetunes, Just wondered if the shorter version mv /folder1/* /folder2/ had any problems? Is there anything that would make it worse to use than your for loop?

[09:08] CHX : do i need to do that in TERMINAL .. am i rite? [09:08] do I really need to re-install it, seems a bit drastic when all that needs to happen is a partition number change. [09:08] shayisaac: yeah. alternatively you can run acpidump [09:08] moza: can't think why it wouldn't work - just never tried it - I like for loops 'cause you can test for dirs etc [09:08] shayisaac: and just for completeness sake dmidecode [09:09] CHX : i need to check that program in my software center?

Did the ATI drivers for linux get better? [09:16] As they as good as nvidia yet? [09:16] CHX : emm ... when u say pastebin ... emm .. where is this pastebin anyway?

[09:16] chx: wrong [09:16] I remeber hearing they got better [09:16] Raptors: well not exactly as good as nvidia's yet but they sure as hell got a bit better [09:17] moetunes: wrong? [09:17] moetunes: when did they stop sucking and which one? [09:17] im using a mobility Radeon HD 4670 on linux.. [09:17] chx: my intel works great [09:17] moetunes: my intel works great too but that's not a video card, that's a joke [09:17] I might get a 5770 [09:17] but I guess I like the opensource drivers better because they let KMS work [09:17] are the drivers for that any good? [09:17] chx: bitter much? [09:17] moetunes: ye [09:18] chx: Dead wrong. Nvidia proprietary drivers have no issues that I'm aware of. And the Noveau (sp?) drivers for 2D worked great. (10.04) [09:18] moetunes: i will need to install Windows on July 27 and I am not looking forward to it. I have been free for almost six years of Windows [09:18] Raptors: depends.. if you are going to be dual booting and playing games on Win then its a good choice (price/performance) [09:18] but if you are going to be on linux most of the time. I would still reccommend an nvidia. [09:18] I want to play games on linux [09:18] "Ubuntu 10.04 updates" writes that there are OpenJDK updates.

[09:19] @Nature75: i could try to uninstall the ati driver and hope for the best... but it worked well in 9.10 and i'm not very familiar with the video properties of linux systems [09:19] no windows in my home... [09:19] the latest drivers worked fine in 3D for me [09:19] I want to get it to play Amnesia when it comes out [09:19] on linux [09:19] and SC on win [09:19] SC II [09:19] Raptors: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:19] http://www.amnesiagame.com/#main [09:19] but their glxgears performance was a bit odd ( i got around 4000 gears/5 secs) which is quite bad [09:20] on the other hand the opensource drivers give great 2D performance [09:20] Wait a second... I'll give you help. [09:20] Amnesia isn't 2d [09:20] I get ~90000/5 seconds, iDope [09:20] iDope: make the glxgears widow smaller and it will improve [09:20] It need really good graphics card [09:20] thanks, very kind of you.

[09:21] iDope: EVGA Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+ [09:21] ok from what I read here ATI doesn't have good drivers :( [09:21] there you have it [09:22] im getting around 6000 at the moment [09:22] thats the max ive managed [09:22] okay [09:22] What is the 5770s equvilant by nvidia? [09:22] i've just have another question here [09:22] about folders under my users folder [09:23] if that is the name [09:23] I've had a friend of mine's system totally die from installing ATI drivers on Windows. Needed a reinstall (of Windows). ATI drivers have historically sucked out loud. [09:23] i dun really know how to explain [09:23] Raptors: what is the 5770's price? [09:23] but anyone - do u know whether the folders such as alsa under my shayisaac folder [09:23] ~150 [09:23] can i just delete those folders? [09:23] for 1GB version [09:23] will it effect installed program? [09:24] "Ubuntu 10.04 updates" writes that there are OpenJDK updates. But i do not have installed OpenJDK, I have Sun Java on my system. (i am sure). Is there a problem on my system ? [09:24] shayisaac: Don't delete the .whatever files or folders. They're hidden for good reason. They're settings and such for programs. [09:24] shayisaac: are they dot files - do they begin with a . [09:25] how can i find a modalias for input event9 [09:25] Raptors: I guess performance wise the Nvidia GTX 275 is close [09:25] MOE : lemme check [09:26] so i can use my cheapo remote .that registers as a keyboard in lirc [09:26] its 896MB i think [09:26] using devinput as the driver [09:26] MOE : it just named "alsa-driver-1.0.16" and 3 more folders such as that [09:26] Hello [09:26] MOE : i juz trying to tide up my folders [09:27] Is there a package I need to install to make the MeMenu available? [09:27] JIM : emm ... they are not hidden [09:27] The_Letter_M, it'll be installed by default on a lucid desktop install [09:28] anyway - my internal webcam just now is ACER SERTEK model [09:28] shayisaac: you can type the first three letters of a nick then hit the tab button - you must have d/loaded those files? [09:28] moetunes, hohohoho .. ok [09:29] moetunes, got it now ... cool! [09:29] there you go shayisaac :] [09:29] moetunes, emm ... yep ... it was either tar or deb files that i've installed last week [09:29] moetunes, i've found it under software center ... the description looks fine and i installed it [09:30] shayisaac: if they have been unpacked/used you can delete them no worries [09:30] "Ubuntu 10.04 updates" writes that there are OpenJDK updates. But i do not have installed OpenJDK, I have Sun Java on my system. (i am sure). Is there a problem on my system ? [09:30] moetunes, yeah ... thats the word ... i unpacked them. some kind like RAR files in win-ninety-crap [09:31] shayisaac: delete 'em then [09:31] Morning all, I'm having problems with the ubuntu hd-media installer. I followed the instructions and prepared a stick which boots and loads di but when it gets to detecting a bunch of packages I end up with a whole lot of 'Unable to find restricted/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages in /cdrom/lucid/Release' [09:31] moetunes, okay ... just to confirm with specialist. :) [09:31] seval_91: both openjdk and sun java can be installed on the same system [09:32] Does the standard desktop iso not work with the hd-media installers? [09:32] in audacious, i must have changed something, now it doesn't play all the playlist, only plays one song and stop [09:32] seval_91, OpenJDK is needed in Ubuntu 10.04 afaik [09:32] if I select repeat, it keeps repeating this song [09:32] moetunes, okay ... i've done one part [09:32] seval_91: OpenJDK is installed by OpenOffice, IIRC. So update it. [09:32] moetunes, then - do you know bout firewire things/issue? [09:32] hmm. OK thank you! [09:32] OpenOffice is, after all, a Java application. [09:32] how can I get audacious2 to play all the songs in my playlist, it's only playing one song and stopping (if i select repeat it keeps repeating the same song) [09:33] shayisaac: in terminal you can do rm -v file1 file2 etc [09:33] seval_91, if OpenJDK runs fine for you, you could uninstall sun java [09:33] moetunes, i have this external firewire card that i use to digitize my camcorder [09:33] emm [09:33] owh [09:33] nope don't know firewire beyond looking for it in sudo fdisk -l [09:33] moetunes, ... emm .. and that is for? [09:33] moetunes, :/ [09:33] hi there. i am using lucid and my system gets stuck from time to time. stuck means here: i can move my mouse, the music playback is still working, but none of my mouse or keyboard interactions work anymore. ideas? [09:33] hi, how does anyone know how to make a belkin f5d8053 work on lucid? [09:34] unggnu: ok. thnak you. i will try both of them... [09:34] beli: Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 (ctrl+alt+F7 to return to X)? [09:35] Jordan_U: nope, no interaction possible [09:35] Jordan_U: tried ctrl+alt+bckspace too [09:35] is anyone using the Terratec H5 or H7 USB here in ubuntu? [09:35] can't figure out if they're supported... [09:35] try the recovery boot option maybe - if that [09:35] !sysrq | beli [09:35] beli: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [09:35] 's what it is called [09:36] Scuttle: what are those anyway? [09:36] Dr_Willis: DVB-C USB "dongles" [09:36] moetunes, is that for my firewire issue coz when i type the code juz now ... it says the directory is not available [09:36] Jordan_U: thanks [09:36] all: do you know how to disable/enable network cards in 10.04 [09:36] Anyone here know why Nautilus stopped detecting my USB disks? But Ubuntu is able to see the partitions in Gparted and Disk Utility. All of my USB ports are working perfectly. [09:36] digital cable tv that is [09:36] Scuttle, unlikely: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-Terratec [09:36] Scuttle: tv tuner type things? If so MythTV #mythbuntu may know some good support pages to see how well they are supported [09:36] Scuttle, oh, ok, I thought it was a soundcard :) [09:37] zeroseven0183: nautilus every so often goes brain dead and stops automounting usb disks. [09:37] beli: You're welcome. Just alt+sysrq+r may get you to be able to ctrl+alt+F1, and if not then alt+sysrq+k should kill X. [09:37] ah [09:37] shayisaac: the " in terminal you can do rm -v file1 file2 etc" bit - that was for deleting files mate [09:37] zeroseven0183: not had the issue near as much in 10.04 as i had in the earlier release [09:37] moetunes, ooo ... means anything that relates to the file that i want to delete , is it? [09:37] Hello [09:38] Dr_Willis: Hmmm.. But how come it worked just last night? [09:38] zeroseven0183: somthing crashed. I had it work.. then 4 min later it stops [09:38] shayisaac: yep - I thought you were deleting them one at a time... [09:38] moetunes, now - the most crucial for me is to get my camcorder to work with kino [09:38] moetunes, hahaha ... nope. i juz delete them all at one shot [09:38] Dr_Willis: I was thinking the latest updates I installed caused it. But I don't remember which one [09:39] is it my keyboard or what that keeps enabling the mouse from keyboard? i disabled all the accessibility stuff and i checked shortcuts, i can't find why it's auto enabling that [09:39] Dr_Willis: But that's strange [09:39] Jordan_U: never heared of this feature. thats really nice. i am an old school X user and just aware of ctrl+alt+bckspace and ctrl+alt+ +/- and the ctrl+alt+f1...f7 stuff :) [09:39] zeroseven0183: i dont currently have the probklem. but ive had it on and off for the last year+ [09:39] moetunes, i have this SONY camcorder and i should able to digitize it using KINO [09:40] Hello [09:40] Dr_Willis: And we're sure it's not a hardward problem [09:40] shayisaac: asking the wrong bloke :] [09:40] What package do I need to isntall and have the me menu available in gnome? [09:40] zeroseven0183: if you can mount it by hand. then its a gnome/automounting system issue [09:40] moetunes, aloh .... :) okay ... i kept trying again .. hahaha ... i kept asking this question since morning [09:40] The_Letter_M, it'll be installed by default on a lucid desktop install [09:40] how do i change the window controls from left to right? [09:40] shayisaac: even the bot knows nothing about firewire [09:41] not liking this whole osx like placement [09:41] well, I use Xubuntu and recently switched from XFCE to Gnome and it's not showing up [09:41] !controls | wasabi_ [09:41] wasabi_: 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 [09:41] beli: It's not new, in fact alt+sysrq+k has always been the only way to be sure that you were at a real login prompt rather than a script someone left open to like like one when logging into a public terminal [09:41] moetunes, hahaha ... thats my problem now ... i've found that ubuntu is way more better than winXP but only this one i still cant figure out [09:41] thanks moetunes [09:41] np [09:42] Jordan_U: you are right....i cant believe i didnt know about that so far...i am reading about it now....its a kernel feature! i am totally shocked, positively:) [09:42] yea for kernel featyures [09:42] beli: :) [09:43] also is it just me or is the google chrome dev .deb file are missing form the chromium page? http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel [09:43] hi all i have a laptop with 4G ram, am running 64bit kernel and yet i see only 3,8G of ram [09:43] anyone been in similar situ [09:43] irc.kraventech.biz [09:43] Jordan_U: it's because i am using linux for about 12 years now ;) you understand why i am shocked? :) [09:44] How can I get the new version of bitlbee installed via apt-get? [09:44] zeridon: your gfx card is probably using some of it. [09:44] anyone with knowledge on firewire on ubuntu? [09:44] zeridon: thats how memory works. some part of it has to be reserved for 'system hardware' you only really notice it when you have exactly 4gb of ram. [09:44] i still fail to figure out this issue [09:44] anyone? [09:45] How do I disable network cards? [09:45] cmtc_: remove the module is one way... [09:45] SwedeMike, yeah ... the vid is ATI HD3450 (256 megs personally for him dedicated) [09:45] cmtc_: what are you disabling exactly? and why? [09:45] cmtc_: disable for hardware detection? or just for beein used? [09:45] SwedeMike, and under debian i see full 4 of it :( [09:46] zeridon: i would say you are using different tools, or theres some other reson for that. since basically its a 'hardware type limitation/work around' [09:46] zeridon: that's strange. I don't have any answer then. debian and ubuntu are very similar. [09:46] zeridon: "free" says 256 megs different between debian and ubuntu? [09:46] zeridon: with similar kernels? [09:47] SwedeMike, probably ureadahead [09:47] Dr Willis: I have a wireless card and a usb wifi dongle, The dongle is not working, and i have disabled the card that is working, but now i need to swap them [09:47] cmtc_: normally in the bios [09:47] oder something like that [09:47] SwedeMike, yes :( [09:47] How can I put an accepted source into aptitude myself? [09:47] SwedeMike, both with 2.6.30 [09:47] Memory-mapped devices (such as your video card) will use some of that physical address space, as will the BIOS ROMs. After all the non-memory devices have had their say, there will be less than 4GB of address space available for RAM below the 4GB physical address boundary. [09:47] gimp seems to be leaving a green mouse trail [09:48] zeridon: what ubuntu are you running that has a 2.6.30 kernel? [09:48] cmtc_: swap a usb wireless dongle for a wireless pci card? [09:48] resizing, oand zooming don't seem to work. [09:48] Really difficult to edit pictires with a paintbrush like trail :p :p [09:49] SwedeMike, 9.04 with custom kernel (merge between oficial ubuntu + debian configs minus exotic modules) [09:49] hello [09:49] Hi [09:49] cmtc_: the usb dongle isnt working? so why not just remove it? ;) === nowos is now known as guntbert [09:50] can anyone help me work out if https://blueprints.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+spec/apt-installation-queue is just a duplicate of something else? I'm fairly sure it's unique; but could use a hand (my launchpad fu is weak) [09:50] zeridon: some good info on ram addressing -> (not linux specific) http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/03/dude-wheres-my-4-gigabytes-of-ram.html [09:50] Gottlos: the ubuntu software center allready sort of work that way [09:50] lol [09:51] anyone know why gimp leaves this trail? [09:51] (I'm using Lucid) in Synaptic Package Manager > Other Software... there is some disabled entries for Karmic .. Can I remove them?

[09:52] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (source) [09:52] main restricted universe multiverse [09:52] ah; neat-o-rama Dr_Willis! I ran into the problem with apt mainly, and a lot of the other bits and pieces (trying to install two packages at once from playdeb; because it's just so shiny) [09:52] uLinux: you could. but why bother. [09:52] i dont like to see it there [09:52] apt vs deb installer gui majigger even [09:52] im using lucid not karmic :\ [09:53] uLinux: then change it to lucid. [09:53] cmtc_: why you want to use two wireless cards? if the usb dongle isnt working, remove it. if your internal card isnt working, but it is on other os for example, then read the dmesg log to get information on what has failed. try to use the network manager to set it up. and also make sure the correct modules are loaded for your wifi card chipset. [09:54] Dr_Willis change all the other entries to Lucid? [09:54] and enable them? [09:54] beli: i can't find the network manager [09:54] any suggestions on how I could make the blueprint more useful or sell people on it (people who can actually author the changes?) [09:54] uLinux: if you want to use the partners repos on a lucid machine. enable the partners repos. [09:54] cmtc_: if your wifi isnt working on other os also. check if it is enabled. some notebooks provide external switches for that. also there are bios options sometimes to enabled/disable wifi cards [09:54] uLinux: delete the repos you are not using [09:55] hallo [09:56] i am a beginner of running virtual lubuntu in mac os, but i can't install parallels tools [09:56] beli: it is working on the other os, just not on lucid [09:57] firewire in ubuntu --- anyone? [09:57] firewire in ubuntu --- anyone?

To get it running, install !Java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.

[09:59] see [09:59] zeridon: i was thinking that also.. but dident mention it.. i wasent sure if Ubuntu switched to GiB/GB in its free commands or not.. i know that for the filesystem/filesizes it HAS switched [09:59] uLinux: if you dont want them then delete them. [09:59] You can add the partner repo later if you need it [09:59] cmtc_: so check if it is detected by the kernel....use dmesg log for that.....and make sure correct kernel modules are loaded for it (lsmod).....then try to enable it via the network manager [10:00] Ubuntu-tweak can also add/remove/manager them uLinux === UlfB is now known as BorjeS [10:00] but i dont know if they are necessary [10:00] I get "Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: umount: only root can..." error [10:00] Dr_Willis, frostfire?

[10:01] shayisaac: you could. [10:01] Is it possible to move just the windows controls to the top panel, and use maximus to remove the window decoration?

[10:04] shayisaac: i said it was 'frostWire' earlier. :) [10:04] Hi all. I'm trying to install 10.04 and I already got around one problem (nomodeset). It makes it to "Setting sensor limits [OK]" and then panics -- no console output, but blinking caps/scroll. Single user mode works. Is this some known thing I can fix with a grub boot option? [10:05] chouchou, learn to use period instead of key. i think you don't own the file that's y [10:05] thanks [10:05] moetunes, thanks a lot:) [10:05] np :] mustafa [10:05] hello, im trying to do a fresh install of 10.04 and i get "(initramfs) stdin: i/o error [10:05] mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: no such device [10:05] can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs" any idea what is wrong here?? [10:06] Hey, why does my PDF close as soon as I open it ? [10:06] javi, you booting CD? [10:06] wildbat_laptop: most of then were set using the root account, [10:06] @Nature75: Didn't work. :( [10:06] wildbat_laptop, yes [10:07] i just upgrade from karmic to Lucid and now i got this problem that everytime i boot i can't see a boot logo or boot screen while loading instead i get this very tiny distorted text which is impossible to read that is only visible on top of my screen.. help please.. and also i get this pop up error every time gdm starts " cannot display the stored x configuration" somthing like that.. help please [10:07] any1 knows how to update minitube v0.9 to v1.0? [10:07] wildbat_laptop, but i guess the cd is just ok...i have burn it in two computers.. [10:07] Dr_Willis, owh ok ... my bad ... sorry bro ... downloading it now. [10:07] chouchou, that's y ~ so only root can change the permission now [10:08] javi, did you check your iso file against md5? [10:08] !md5sum | javi [10:08] javi: 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 [10:08] but, well at least i can control the brightness with the ati tool. [10:08] well, I have a web installed on the local pc which has the user account set by default. changing permissions, creating a file / folder, or modifying result in access denied [10:08] chouchou: clarify 'have a web installed' [10:08] ubottu, i have been browsing and some people have similar problem but no solutions...and the cd should be fine [10:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:09] I have LAMP installed [10:09] javi: 'should' be fine is not proving it IS fine. [10:09] thanks again. I'll try to dig down in the whole video control subject and come back later. [10:09] wildbat_laptop, how you check against the md5sum? i made it first with brasero, and then i tried with imac and used the verify [10:09] cu [10:10] chouchou, but ur files own by root as you said.' [10:10] javi: the bot gave the info --> http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [10:10] i just upgrade from karmic to Lucid and now i got this problem that everytime i boot i can't see a boot logo or boot screen while loading instead i get this very tiny distorted text which is impossible to read that is only visible on top of my screen.. help please.. and also i get this pop up error every time gdm starts " cannot display the stored x configuration" somthing like that.. help please [10:10] Dr_Willis, fair enough... i guess i will try im desperated :) === thegkfg is now known as thegkfg2 [10:10] can anyone tell me how to turn off the screen lock on 10.04? [10:10] javi: i never burn cd's andy more. i always use tools to make bootable usb drives. [10:10] Actually, I guess first question to ask might be "does a blinking caps lock + scroll lock" = kernel panic? Or a specific kind of failure code? [10:10] Anybody, I'm trying to do an install from a usb-stick but it just barfs when it tries to load the iso? [10:10] Gyro54: its in the screensaver/powersaver settings [10:11] Dr_Willis: is it working better than cd? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:11] nickd: you are using the desktop iso? or server iso? === thegkfg2 is now known as thegkfg [10:11] Dr_Willis: Thanks [10:11] javi: yes. faster. and less hassles [10:11] moetunes, when i restart my pc problem is still continues. [10:11] desktop iso [10:11] Dr_Willis, do you happen to have some link to the instructions how to make it? [10:11] !usb | javi [10:11] and how big usb drive you need? [10:11] javi: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [10:11] mustafa: your prob was unmounting a partition? [10:11] javi: use unetbootin, or the ubuntu startup-disk-creator tool [10:11] moetunes, yes. [10:11] wildbat_laptop: yes, in fact I have installed proftpd and LAMP, from my root account, [10:12] Dr_Willis, desktop iso - i get lots of May 16 09:22:30 cdrom-retriever: warning: Unable to find main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages in /cdrom/dists/lucid/Release.

[10:12] Hi, I installed 10.04 on my laptop last week, today I installed windows vista, how do I update the grub config? [10:12] mustafa: and subo umount /path works? === ns5_away is now known as ns5 [10:12] guntbert, huh? [10:12] Note, selecting ttf-mscorefonts-installer instead of msttcorefonts [10:12] ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already the newest version. [10:12] ? [10:12] moetunes, it works until restart [10:13] Dr_Willis, I used the current amd64 desktop iso, was that a mistake? [10:13] are the microsoft fonts installed [10:13] wildbat_laptop, ubottu , Dr_Willis : i will try guys, thanks for the help... [10:13] moetunes, after restart, problem still holds. [10:13] mustafa: is the partition listed in the file /etc/fstab? [10:13] wildbat_laptop: you are always using 'u' for "you",.... [10:13] nickd: that one should work. [10:13] hello.. someone knows, why my NFSv4 connection is so horrible slow, that programms like firefox freezes regular and need several minutes to open? [10:13] nickd: a server iso wont. [10:13] moetunes, yes. [10:13] chouchou, keep in mind that the apache2 deamon isn't run by root account . ~ [10:14] ? [10:14] Hi, I installed 10.04 on my laptop last week, today I installed windows vista, how do I update the grub config? [10:14] mustafa: and you don't want it mounted at every boot? [10:14] moetunes, yes. [10:14] hello [10:15] hi [10:15] mustafa: then you need to edit that file and put a comment in front of the line with that partition mentioned - a comment is a # [10:15] ok, how do I loosen things up for the end user [10:15] ihave ubuntu lucid and need the ati catalyst driver version 9.3 [10:15] is this the fglrx in the repos? [10:15] Dr_Willis, OK well with Debian this stuff is usually due to a mismatched kernel in the di and the iso, but i sourced the two from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ and http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso [10:15] guntbert, and?~ as long as ppl understand what's the big idea about it ^^ eevn the stuipd splelings are off you can still unedrstand. [10:15] look, even while trying to save seeings form my web interface I have this error An Error has occurred! Unable to open configuration.php file to write! [10:15] mustafa: gksu gedit /etc/fstab [10:15] i snot helping [10:16] Im having some trouble getting smooth playback of 720p MKV video [10:16] chouchou, you have to change chown of the files. [10:17] moetunes, yes i did it? [10:17] my specs are: 3.0 GHz CPU, GF7800GT [10:17] how pls? [10:17] moetunes, after that what sholud i do? [10:17] mustafa: then when you reboot it should not be mounted === overmind is now known as gomagarrofin [10:17] I just can't tell if "LTS 10.04" is not ready for prime time. [10:17] wildbat_laptop: did you *read* what ubottu sent you? those abbreviations are not to be used here -- but I won't keep you from your support case -- sorry to interfere [10:17] Lovehina: what player? [10:17] chouchou, sudo chown someuser:www-data [10:18] I have another issue why imdb forums text looks huge? (ive tried ctrl+0) [10:18] moetunes, thanks. i will try it [10:18] k [10:18] ok [10:18] Im using gnome-mplayer [10:18] wildbat_laptop: will the same apply to ftp too? === gomagarrofin is now known as overmind [10:18] Lovehina: try vlc. also theres newer versions of mplayer that use that new vpadu (spelling?) feature in some nvidia cards to get better playback [10:19] Dr_Willis, So I'm stumped - I'm just going to prove I'm not a moron by checking my technique using the 32bit variants then I guess I'll file a bug on launchpad. [10:19] Dr_Willis: vdpau. [10:19] the playback is not smooth in VLC either... [10:19] Good evening all, I am having issues conecting my phone to my comp, can anyone help please? [10:19] SwedeMike: my card dont support it. :( [10:19] also...vdpau doeasnt support GF7 cards... [10:19] ipsin: 10.04 works well on some hw, and has problems on others. [10:19] guntbert, i understand that. just years of typing habit, i am don't hard to keep out 'ttyl' type abbreviations though ^^ [10:19] and when will it be possible to install nvidia binaries again on lucid? [10:20] wildbat_laptop: :-) [10:20] I have no problems att all playing the same file on XP [10:20] lynx563: there are articles showing how to do it already, but you might get some consmetic downsides when booting. [10:21] Lovehina: GF7800 doesn't support vdpau anyway. [10:21] yea..I knew that... [10:21] chouchou, the login ftp user (can be virtualuser, in that case the ftpd user) will need to own the file in order to change the files permission. [10:22] Lovehina: so what CPU do you have? [10:22] will the same command apply to it ? [10:22] Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHz HT [10:22] guntbert, doing* [10:23] Swede, big thanks. I have an Asus P6X58D-E mobo, and I guess I should just go back to Ubuntu 9 for now. [10:23] Hi, I have problem starting privoxy un startup. /etc/rc2.d/S20privoxy exist, /etc/init.d/privoxy is executable and in bum privoxy is checked... what I can do? thank you [10:23] Lovehina: that should be able to do 720p h264 properly.you could try some different -vo options for mplayer and see if some helps. [10:24] Zagorax: check the config file and daemon logs [10:24] well... I did try one combination of options...but [10:24] one moment [10:24] ipsin: I'm running 10.04 on core i5 (H57 motherboard), X38 motherboard and an X200 thinkpad, they all work well [10:25] ipsin: X58 should be supported as well, what gfx card do you have? [10:25] I use Ubuntu 10.04. I had SunJava and worked fine with eclipse and Jdownloader. But now i installed OpenJDK to try it. Now Jdownloader opening automatically with "Java -jar /Jdownloader.jar" command. But i want as default the SunJava. And Eclipse now does not have SunJava as compiler but OpenJDK. Can someone help me to change them please? [10:25] Lovehina: also, you should do "top" at the same time to see if cpu is running 100% [10:25] Yes, I'm not sure what the issue is. Well, definitely one of them was "nomodeset" (because I don't enjoy staring at that brown screen for hours). NVidia GTX 260. [10:25] zeridon, privoxy config file is ok, it works properly if I start it manually, privoxy log is blank... === Anzufvytar[Away] is now known as Anzufvytar [10:25] I tried this: "-nodouble -lavdopts skipframe=nonref:skiploopfilter=all" but that sort of makes everything skip...instead of just the slowdowns... [10:25] hmm..."top" ? [10:26] fcoo_21: sudo update-alternatives --config java [10:26] I guess since the "sensor" piece came back [OK], it's probably the next step that borked it. [10:26] Zeridon, i'll try again removing the log file first [10:27] Zagorax: what about /var/log/daemon.log ... are you trying to put it on some low port ... what is the runlevel you are running [10:27] Lovehina: that isn't -vo options, and "top" is a cli tool to show what processes are using how much cpu [10:27] can someone tell me the difference between rsync's --delete, and --delete-excluded ? [10:27] I tried the system...what its called...and...it shows 100% now and then... [10:28] aperson: in rsync you can exclude files from sync and if you specify --delete-excluded they will be deleted on the target [10:28] Dr_Willis, so ... i've done installing FrostWire [10:29] Which runlevel is a normal boot? 4? [10:29] !runlevel [10:29] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [10:29] Ipeer: 3 [10:29] Dr_Willis, emm ... this is Save Folder and Share Folder [10:29] Ubuntu uses 2 - and the other runlevels other then 0,1,6 dont do much === juju2143 is now known as [J] [10:29] hmm crap this is not nice [10:29] wildbat_laptop: changing the owner for the we reduced the error, what abou the FTP? [10:29] erUSUL: thank you. it worked. but how to add on list of java-compilers the Openjdk. i want to try both of them for my code . ? [10:30] Dr_Willis, what should i do with this that relate with the firewire thang? [10:30] Under the system thing...the mplayer shows about 85-95 % of CPU... [10:30] Where is the function of the AlsaMixer sliders Master, MasterMono, Headphone, PCM, Line, CD, Mic Mic(Boost(+20db), MicSelect, Phone, Aux, MonoOutputSel, External Amplif, Stereo, and Mic defined? [10:30] shayisaac: what firewire thing? [10:30] Lovehina: oki, then you're cpu constrained and there is little to do about it if the -vo options won't help. [10:30] fcoo_21: dunno sorry; maybe it has a different name ojavac ? [10:31] Dr_Willis, owh. Actually - i need to work my camcorder with KINO [10:31] what -vo options? [10:31] shayisaac: first ive ever heard of a camcorder question today.... [10:31] I havent tried any of them... [10:31] Lovehina: try -framedrop -hardframedrop -mc 2 [10:31] hi floodbot4 [10:31] hi all ! [10:31] okej...one moment [10:31] Lovehina: sometimes it helps sometimes not [10:32] Firewire = ieeXXXXX ? some special port that camcorders use.. Frostwire = a limewire clone. Not related at all. [10:32] i have upgraded my netbook to 10.4 and suddenly all windows vanish! [10:32] zeridon, so --delete deletes files on the target that no longer exist on the host, and --delete-excluded deletes the files that I specify on the target, correct? [10:32] erUSUL: ok. thank you! :) [10:32] hello [10:32] Odd, /etc/init.d/lm-sensors is the last thing that runs before the panic, but it's not invoked by any startup scripts at any run level? (grep'd /etc/rc*.d and /etc/init.d/*) [10:32] whatever i open, it is immediately minimized [10:32] i cant even logout as the logout window is vanishing [10:33] aperson: for the delete yes for delete-excluded if any of the specified exclusions exist on the target they will be deleted (usually after the sync is complete) [10:33] this is on the netbook desktop, gnome seems to work ok [10:33] I guess I didn't realize that things could run from /etc/init.d without being symlinked into an rc*.d [10:33] ipsin: is lm-sensors in autostarted apps? [10:33] zeridon, ok, thanks for the clarification [10:33] np [10:33] <[fade]> moetunes lm-sensors you need to set to start automatically [10:33] Hmm...also...mplayer has some video output options... [10:34] which one should I chose...? [10:34] aperson: if you are setting mirroring system i highly advise to use --delete-after and --timeout=300 [10:34] [fade]: it is ipsin 's prob [10:34] like: GL, GL2 etc etc [10:34] zeridon, noted, and added to backup script [10:34] samba? [10:35] ~samba [10:35] !samba [10:35] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [10:35] Hi folks, I downloaded the 10.04 release of ubuntu, and when i try to use the install CD it says that it will load the desktop because ubuntu installation cannot continue. When I open the error in x I get: Sorry, the program "gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor" closed unexpectedly. Any ideas? [10:35] !samba [10:35] any ideas why my windows are vanishing ? [10:35] What's "autostarted apps"? I see the console line during boot, and I'm trying to answer the question "what runs after lm-sensors?" Because whatever it is panics. [10:35] is this 10.04 thing going to be like the vista of microsoft? [10:36] karl__: are they minimizing? or closeing? [10:36] sekyourbox, yes. exactly. [10:36] well, you advice me to downgrade my php version from 5.3.2 to 5.2.x ? [10:36] (I mean, unless "OK" means, "OK and now I am going to panic) [10:36] sekyourbox: have you checked the cd for defects? [10:36] sekyourbox, ubuntu is not windows [10:36] ipsin: k - it is not in autostarted apps then if you see it before X [10:36] slart, yes [10:36] I have been using ubuntu since 604, and never had a problem til now [10:37] sekyourbox: and the hardware is ok? you've tried installing several times and you get the same error? [10:37] moetunes: yes, this is a kernel panic very, very early in the boot process (like maybe the 8th console line printed?) [10:37] any answer ? [10:37] Slart, yessir [10:37] where would alsaconf be in ubuntu lucid? [10:37] Dr_Willis, emm. Yep. i was trying to get the answer since morning [10:37] Dr_Willis, :( [10:37] Slart, I originally tried sudo apt-get upgrade, but that is another story [10:37] shayisaac: i dont even rember the question now.... [10:38] sekyourbox: you mean you tried to upgrade to 10.04 using the update-manager? [10:38] * notoff is having probs making a pdf with 4 copies on one side of the page :/ [10:38] chouchou, i said the user have to match the ftp user [10:38] ok [10:38] care to critique my backup script zeridon?: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/434279/ [10:38] notoff: you mean shrink a printout down so it puts 4 pages on 1 page? [10:38] Dr_Willis, hahaha ... ok ... actually i have this external firewire card [10:38] Dr_Willis, but it seems that my ubuntu doesnt read that card [10:39] how will I do that please? using the same method you posted above ? [10:39] Dr_Willis, i cant use it with KINO [10:39] chouchou, yes [10:39] will only print one small (25%) page in the corner [10:39] I want 4 on the page, not just one [10:39] notoff: i used a tool AGEs ago that helped me do that..but that was with text and from the browser. I used it as the printer command instead of lpr/whatever it is now. [10:39] hi Dr_Willis ! I am not doing anything, i press the firefox icon in the nbe desktop, it loads, shows up and immediately vanishes [10:39] !info xprint [10:40] chouchou, said if your ftp login in dummy123, the files should own by dummy123 : www-data [10:40] xprint (source: xprint): X11 print system (binary). In component universe, is optional. Version 2:1.6.0-4 (lucid), package size 643 kB, installed size 1360 kB [10:40] Slart, i was on 910 and ran apt-get upgrade from the terminal.. All hell broke loose. I loose all i/o input when I try to start x. x works fine on the live cd.. [10:40] then it is minimized in the top left corner, i can press the icon, the window shows up and vanishes again [10:40] karl__: is it in the window list? can you alt-tab and see it? [10:40] ok [10:40] hey all [10:40] karl__: vanish can mean, closes... or crashes.. or minimizes [10:40] sekyourbox: apt-get upgrade doesn't upgrade your version [10:40] Slart, what does it do? [10:40] any of you were able to connect to a Checkpoint firewall eith VPN? [10:41] I am running lucid [10:41] Slart, Maybe distupgrade or something i'm thinking of [10:41] sekyourbox: that just upgrades packages to the version that is in the repos.. ie you'll get an updated 9.10 [10:41] anyone know how to access or watch a .bin and .q movie file? [10:41] Fudge: try vlc [10:41] hmm.. I think I had this wortking once (long ago)... but that was another ubuntu distro with maybe a messy workaround [10:41] sekyourbox: yea.. there are some other command line scripts that will upgrade to the next version.. I don't remember what they are called [10:41] Slart, It definitely did an upgrade. It loads up with 10.04 [10:41] very frustratingv [10:41] aperson: probably you could add more excludes (/var comes to mind, but not the whole of it) [10:41] Dr. Willis: it means minimizes. i think the nbr desktop is just put on top of all windows [10:41] !video | Fudge [10:41] Fudge: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:42] even the logout window vanishes immediately [10:42] could me a little off on the command [10:42] aperson: also if you intend to restore old files ... well this will not work as it keeps only the current fileset [10:42] sekyourbox: I did a fresh install myself.. don't really trust those upgrades [10:42] So I guess I've had this problem with the last 3 ubuntu releases. There are Known Issues. Bugs have been filed, etc. But unless I actually try and install (and fail), I won't know about issues that might materially affect me. Is there some kind of clearinghouse of "Stuff the Ubuntu Team Knows About, and Hopes To Fix"? I just hate reading twisty mazes of tracker tickets. [10:42] karl__: this is on the netbook install of ubu8ntu? or a noirmal desktop install? [10:42] The problem is my fresh install doesnt work [10:42] sekyourbox: but anyways.. you say you can't do a fresh install from the install cd.. [10:42] zeridon, I plan on having another cron job doing a regular tar.bz of the target dirs [10:42] sekyourbox: any weird hardware in your box? [10:42] ipsin: as a guess try for f in /etc/init.d/*; do cat $f | grep lm ; done - it might show it starting somewhere [10:42] aperson: for a full blown backup solution i tend to prefer backuppc [10:43] ty [10:43] aperson: it does deblocking and similar files pooling (and works across all OS (kinda) [10:43] Slart, I haven't had any problems. I dont think anything is strange as far as the hardware goes. X loads fine with the live cd, so I dont see what the problem could be [10:43] Dr Willis: I can alt-tab to the window, but it immediately vanishes again [10:43] sekyourbox: nothing in the logs after it fails? [10:43] notoff: years ago i used the 'xpp' tool a great deal to print several pages to 1 page. [10:43] Thanks moetunes, I already checked that (using egrep, anyway). The only place lm-sensors shows up is in the lm-sensors file. [10:44] k [10:45] slart, Sorry, the program "gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor" closed unexpectedly :: The program crashed on an assertion failure [10:45] Dr Willis: and netbook-louncher takes 30% cpu [10:45] zeridon, I'll look into that, also, the only thing I could think of excluding in /var is /var/tmp [10:46] karl__: you may want to try makign a new user on the machine and logging in as them. see if affets them also. [10:46] hmm, netbook-launcher seems to crash continously, it changes its pid [10:46] !tab | karl__ [10:46] karl__: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:46] sekyourbox: something like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/531731 ? [10:46] i have made a new user, same thing [10:46] karl__: Hmm. odd. sounds like some nasty bug going on. is this in 10.04 ? [10:46] Dr_Willis, thanks [10:47] Dr_Willis, yes, 10.4 [10:47] aperson: /var/cache, parts of /var/lib, /var/tmp, /tmp [10:47] Slart, thats it [10:47] karl__: the kubuntu release also has a netbook interface i liked :) but i never had any issues like yours with the normal netbook edition [10:47] yep, netbook-launcher is crashing, its pid increased by 100 now [10:47] aperson: just look around and think which is your data and which is going to be autognerated/derived in normal work process [10:48] crashing netbook-launcher would also explain vanishing windows, its just being put on top every time its restarted [10:48] the plot thickens.... syslog reports glxinfo segfault [10:49] /var/lib/ureadahead/* [10:49] sekyourbox: well.. they offered no work-around.. I guess it's time to play the waiting-game =( I suppose you could try running the update-manager from the live cd before you try installing.. that might update gvfs to a newer version which hopefully has this bug fixed [10:49] sekyourbox, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582579 [10:50] sekyourbox: is this the latest image? === wildbat000 is now known as wildbat [10:50] that bug should have been fixed a while ago from the looks of it [10:50] syn-ack, downloaded from the website today [10:51] my windows bootrecord got screwed up, so i had to repair it. When that was done, i lost the options for booting into ubuntu [10:51] There is no report function with that error. So it likely will not get as much attention. [10:51] any tips? [10:52] !fixgrub | MACscr_lappy [10:52] MACscr_lappy: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [10:52] nah use lilo [10:53] Dr_Willis: Thanks! Will try out 'xpp' to see if it does what I want. [10:53] notoff: i used that tool a lot - 4+ yrs ago :) [10:53] anybody used to KINO? [10:54] So this issue is fixed by shipping an updated version? So how do I make sure this is the updated version? [10:54] whats the current kernel in 10.4 ? [10:54] karl__: 2.6.32 [10:54] hello I am using ubuntu 10.04 and I am getting segmentation faults in firefox. can someone help me identify what is the problem. [10:55] so 2.6.32-22-generic is the correct kernel ? === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [10:55] I am using firefox 3.6.3 by the way. [10:55] firefox has really been turning to crap lately [10:55] dnivra: segmentation faults are usually bugs or memory problems. if you're seeing this in only firefox, it sounds like a bug in firefox or in a plugin. [10:55] i get segfaults in glxinfo about 100/minute [10:55] karl__: that's the version I have in lucid anyway. [10:55] plugins are know to cause a lot of problems in firefox indeed [10:56] thanks SwedeMike [10:56] Hm, Upstart seems to be a new boot regime (as of 10.04?) [10:56] KINO ... anyone? [10:56] dnivra: firefox crashes like an eptileptic at a disco at times in 10.4 for no apparent reason. [10:56] Still no obvious way of answering the question "what comes after lm-sensors in boot order" [10:57] well thanks for all your help guys. I'll check into that workaround. [10:57] Running firefox in a shell might at least provide a hint why [10:57] moijk, SwedeMike, here's what the output is when I run it in the terminal. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/PQHBPaaV [10:57] ipsin: since services can run in parallel - im not sure there is a definitive answer [10:57] Hm thanks, that makes sense. [10:57] moijk, well it was working fine till now. I used firefox three days ago it was fine. now crashes on every run. [10:57] this is odd, i seem to have no xorg.conf [10:57] ipsin: dnivra try running "strace firefox-bin" and see what is shown right before the segfault. [10:57] ipsin: it could also be some service starting much earlier thats crashing a few moments later. [10:57] dpkg-reconfigure xserver does not produce one [10:58] ipsin: sorry, wrong person. [10:58] karl__: thats not odd.. thats 'standard' now a days [10:58] SwedeMike, it's working fine so far. run that command now? [10:58] dnivra: yes. [10:58] ah, so how do i find/set the graphics driver ? [10:58] i suspect a problem there [10:58] SwedeMike, alright will do so. [10:58] karl__, I'm no expert but I think this is now normal operation for x [10:58] karl__: for what video card? most of the time its all automated these days [10:58] Ah, that also makes sense. Since it appears to be a kernel panic (caps + scroll blink), I assume I don't really have a hope of figuring out the root cause? [10:59] intel 945 gme [10:59] (I mean, without a kernel debugger and a lot of spare time) [10:59] SwedeMike, it starts a new process strace? [10:59] man, i got 10k rpm hd's, dual core 3.1ghz cpu, and 8gb ram and that live disk is still slow as hell to boot up [10:59] dnivra: it starts a new firefox with process tracing, yes. [10:59] heck, even after install it seems to take longer than windows to boot [10:59] MACscr_lappy: live disk as in cd or usb? yes, that's slow. [11:00] cd [11:00] where can I upload screenshots? [11:01] hi, what is the locale "#" offered during the installation?

[11:02] glxinfo is segfaulting? that is nasty === overmind is now known as overmind_ [11:02] iamtrying: try 'handbrake' === overmind_ is now known as overmind === root is now known as Guest78878 [11:03] hello ! [11:03] ok it's not much but thing is the firefox "crash and restore" window looks nasty I'd say http://imagebin.org/97070. [11:03] Hello [11:04] is anyone using 10.04 with a macbook ?? [11:04] guys does skype on ubuntu 9.10 work properly.? [11:04] is anyone using it? [11:05] wrapster: I've been using skype on 9.10 and 10.04 and it works. [11:05] Dr_Willis: looks good, thank you [11:05] wrapster: ive heard it works.. ive also heard of some issues with it [11:05] Dr_Willis: yes i want skype now.. but ready about a few issues.. so was worried.. as its my main mode of commnuincation. [11:06] Dr_Willis: and the solution for that display problerm i posted a few hrs ago is just to install the latestest nvidia drivers.. and reboot [11:06] can someone give the kernel version for lucid pls [11:07] moetunes: 2.6.32 [11:07] Hello everyone... I have Tata photon plud data card and i am having difficulties in configuring it.. Could someone help me please.... and I have lucid [11:07] thnx SwedeMike :] [11:07] SwedeMike: and which version do i choose? on the official skype site i see only 8.10 versions... [11:08] wrapster: yes, that version works, I'm using 2.1.0.81-1 [11:08] wrapster: what display problem? [11:08] hello, I have a system with a weird graphics card (an S3 prosavage). How do I check what x.org video driver is in use? [11:08] What's the Upstart way to change init level? [11:08] wait, nm [11:08] the x.org log [11:08] (I want to try normal init level from single user) [11:08] ALL my bookmarks are GONE! My ~ is untouched - what happend?! [11:09] ipsin: upstart dosent really use init levels. its all 2 for a running system [11:09] Where does FF normally stored the current bookmarks?! [11:09] I need to find them! [11:09] Right, but if I'm in single user (rescue) mode, is there a way to make it pretend to start up, w/o rebooting? [11:10] (or is the concept of "changing runlevels" obsolete?) [11:10] does anyone use autofs with cifs/smb? [11:10] it mounts fine but I cant cd into the directories [11:10] ipsin: Not that ive ever noticed. You could try init 2 I guess. or telinit 2 [11:10] (Yeah, neither worked) [11:10] hi ! i found the problem and the solution ! [11:11] ipsin: its getting tobe a slowly obsolete idea [11:11] autofs scirpt is bugged [11:11] when you have libmyth installed a aptitude-update pulls nvidia drivers even if no nvidia card is installed [11:11] the nvidia kernel driver seems to create the segfault [11:11] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/256021 [11:12] now everything works. [11:12] happy man. [11:12] Dr_Willis: I can see the advantage of parallelizing the boot process, but I do wish for better diagnostic tools in the event that things aren't peachy. [11:13] Unordered execution can be quite a headache, if it turns startup order into a loosely-ordered bag of stuff that can run Whenever. [11:13] But I'm kvetching to no end. I think I've already decided on Ub 9... like, an hour ago. [11:13] ipsin: there are things that graph each process in the boot and how long it takes. [11:14] SwedeMike: Is there a debug/trace boot option that will cause it to be chatty about that stuff? I just want to figure out what's failing so I can move on to why. [11:15] is there a way to "undo" Alt + SysRq + R? [11:15] (oh, wait, no, I should be giving up, really, because it's 3am here) [11:18] Where is the function of the AlsaMixer sliders Master, MasterMono, Headphone, PCM, Line, CD, Mic Mic(Boost(+20db), MicSelect, Phone, Aux, MonoOutputSel, External Amplif, Stereo, and Mic defined? [11:20] bullgard_: man alsamixer might tell - files used [11:20] Actually, nevermind, if I boot single user and then start gdm, that's kind of like having a working system. [11:20] I am moderately pleased. [11:21] ipsin: if you would have been running something with grub I'd say to remove "quiet splash" from the boot line, but I don't know enough about grub2 and plymouth so tell what to do [11:22] SwedeMike: I removed quiet splash when I added nomodeset (which stopped one consistent hang). I didn't even know about grub2/plymouth [11:22] (if 10.04 uses grub2, it's enough like grub that I didn't notice) [11:22] ipsin: it does. [11:24] slm [11:26] Hello, login problem in Lucid : console instead of gdm, then login/pw, then if i launch gdm --> error message but sudo gdm works ok ? Any help ? [11:26] Hm. This time, it just started up [11:27] I wonder if installing to proprietary nvidia driver did the trick... [11:27] nemo_ whats the error messagre? [11:27] Anyway, thanks all, things seem not-broken.

I can't clear the words I'd like highlighted [11:37] Monotoko_the file gdm.conf is not even existing in /etc/gdm ! [11:38] The old gdm used a gdm.conf I thought.

What to do?! === esay is now known as EsAy [11:51] Araneidae_: i saw a 'wine with pulse audio patches' the other day. Never tried it however. [11:51] Unfortunately, unselecting PulseAudio results in rather a lot of packages dropping out. WTF? [11:51] I'm having problems with my wifi, I lost it! From what read i have to reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source. It is in one of the restricted repositories. How do I find the repository that I need to add to sources.list? [11:51] Dr_Willis, frankly I'd rather just do without all the PulseAudio crap: it's *never* worked with Wine for me, but unfortunately it seems that Canonical are forcing it [11:52] I mean, what the hell has PA got to do with qemu, for example? [11:52] Araneidae_: ive never had any pulse audio issues. so no idea. wrks with all my wine games [11:52] And open office????? [11:52] Well, you're lucky I guess, or I'm unlucky. For me I can no longer run TF2 [11:53] Or to be precise, I can no longer join a map!

It still just boots straight into windows. I even reinstalled ubuntu. Still now luck. NOTE: ubuntu is on the second disk and when i reinstalled grub, i did /dev/sdb [11:53] any ideas? [11:54] MACscr_lappy: I always put grub on the first hd [11:55] Interesting link Dr_Willis. Guess I'll just try reconfiguring my existing install first to use PulseAudio directly... a bit reluctant to use a non standard build of Wine [11:55] moetunes: how can i install it on the first hd if that one is windows [11:55] It's just your MBR. [11:55] hi [11:55] You're not installing Ubuntu over it, you're just changing boot loaders. [11:56] MACscr_lappy: you let it overwrite the mbr so windows isn't the only recognised os - of course the mbr os sda will be read before sdb [11:56] hi, problem with chromium v6.0.406.0 : the following plug-in has crashed: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, firefox with flashplaywe work fine. [11:56] s/os/on [11:56] Oh crap. Standard Wine doesn't come with PulseAudio at all! [11:56] I seem to recall there being some elaborate way to make the Windows boot loader give the Ubuntu option, but the GRUB way is easier.

I will keep trying now with the rar which is non-free [12:11] i always just use the unp command :) it calles the rar tools however [12:12] Is there any guides for setting up network load balancing in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 ?

[12:13] DrGrov: ok in what aspect? will it work? is it legal? === Guest90780 is now known as Sameer [12:13] hi! m using ubuntu10.04....pl suggest a mp3 Cutter/extractor [12:13] Sameer audacity? [12:14] SwedeMike, I am thinking about the legal aspect first. [12:14] Anyone? [12:14] Is there any guides on setting up network load balancing between two (100MB) network cards in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 ? The machine is a laptop, if that makes difference. [12:14] DrGrov: that I don't know, you have to read that youself. [12:14] Monotoko audacity ..is it available in ubuntu software centre [12:14] nikitis: you could put grub on sdb and tell the pc/bios to boot sdb. then if windiows alters the bootloader back on sda - it wont affect grub [12:14] nikitis: thats how i normally do it. [12:15] Anyone here know if mod_cband is the newer module or is it mod_bw? Maybe both are still being maintained actively? [12:15] in ubuntu 10.04 there isn't anymore gdm-themes. but how do one configure the look of the login? it looks very dull as of now? [12:15] (Argh, seriously, Pidgin keeps shutting down) Is there any guides on setting up network load balancing between two (100MB) network cards in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 ? The machine is a laptop, if that makes difference. [12:15] Dr_Willis: I'd prefer windows on /dev/sda due to the fuss it gives when it's not on first drive. I think the command is grub-install /dev/sda to rewrite the mbr, but i'm not sure === travis is now known as Guest99331 [12:15] DrGrov: i never noticed any 40 day limit on the unrar stuff. havent really looked either. [12:15] SwedeMike, sure thing. [12:15] Hey there, i just built space-sunrise theme for plymouth in my machine getting source from git and folowing instructions but i wonder how to install it in plymouth [12:15] Dr_Willis, it didn't work with the unrar stuff. just the rar was able to extract the files. [12:15] any ideas? [12:15] DrGrov: you use the unrar package? === Guest99331 is now known as travis___ [12:16] nikitis: i never have any issues with grub on sdb. no fuss at all., actually in some cases the drive you boot from ive seen becomes sda. (that may be bios/mb spefific) [12:16] DrGrov: the rarsoft guys have done some changes that make some archives only work with the newest bersions of their tools [12:16] hi [12:16] * travis___ remakes question as he changed nick [12:16] moijk: download Ubuntu Tweak. At least from there you can change background and the icon [12:17] I wonder how to install a plymouth theme i just built into my machine [12:17] can anyone tell me how to extract multiple zip files into one directory [12:17] Dr_Willis: My windows drive is /dev/sda, And that's the MBR i need to reinstall grub to. My question is however, Does grub-install have to be told which mbr to write to? or does it have to be told where /boot is? [12:17] Dr_Willis, yes I see that. I had some serious problems to get up some archive which had a newer rar compression. [12:17] travis___: thers some on the repos - you install then run a few commands to change them [12:18] Dr_Willis, i know but i built a cool one and now i have all my files, i just dont know how to make plymouth list the one i built [12:18] Dr_Willis, is this one http://gitorious.org/oskude-plymouth-themes/space-sunrise [12:18] Dr_Willis: All the grub2 guides out there assume windows and ubuntu are on same drive. which is confusing me on what to tell grub-install to do [12:18] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [12:19] nikitis: Ive rarely had theissue.. grub2 setup tools auto see the windows install and add it. grub install to the hd you are booting. and grub handles the rest, [12:19] Dr_Willis, i do it with aptitude even if i built the file locally? [12:20] nikitis, I didn't have to tell grub2 anything but it got my Linux and Windows drives correctly and boots fine. the previous grub I had to manually map the drives from the config [12:20] travis___: No idea. i rarely mess with plymouth but theres some commands you need to do at that guide to 'rebuild' plymouth into the boot sequence after changeing things [12:20] yep that i know [12:20] changed it a few times [12:21] but jeez dunnow how to make plymouth install the one i built [12:21] anyhelp? === m00se is now known as Dilbert [12:21] Is there any guides on setting up network traffic load balancing between two (100MB) network cards in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 ? === Dilbert is now known as m00se [12:21] markyxyz: grub already knows of windows 7, I had it configured correctly. However, i reinstalled windows 7 onto /dev/sda again because it got hosed. now I need to fix the mbr on /dev/sda is all. how do i do this with grub-install [12:22] !fixgrub [12:22] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [12:22] the grub2 wiki pages also tell how to reinstall grub2 via the livecd [12:23] nikitis, grub-install /dev/sdX - try to Google that. I think that's the command. [12:23] hey.. [12:24] o.o [12:24] I am interested to know is there is a NeoGeo emulator for Ubuntu? :) [12:24] I have a question regarding the Netbook remix... I posted it on the forum a few days back and never got a reply. Anyone think they may be able to help? [12:24] is the kernel flavor "virtual" for virtualization hosts or for virtual guests? [12:25] God damn I would love that setup. Having a 42" Full HD LCD tv and playing NeoGeo :) [12:25] DrGrov: has been for some time. Proberly several of them [12:25] .. [12:25] Is it just me, or does sbackup fail to backup data from an NTFS partition? [12:25] o.O [12:26] TheMusicGuy, COuld it be that the ntfs partition hasnt been properly unmounted? [12:26] I have several directories to be backed up, all of which are on different partitions. However, sbackup never seems to make backups of anything on the NTFS partition, even though its the one that gets the most activity. [12:27] costre: sbackup needs partitions to be mounted in order to make backups of the files on them. [12:27] If I'm running regular 10.04, and I switch to the netbook remix, will I lose my files? [12:28] TheMusicGuy, Of course :) But I have experienced difficulties with ntfs partitions depending on whether or not they were properly unmounted in the windows session [12:28] I can access ntfs files fine from other applications. I don't get any errors from either Windows or Ubuntu. [12:28] Any cool eyecandy for Ubuntu? I want to pimp up my computer. I hope a nVidia GTS250 1GB can handle the most of the eyecandy out there. [12:29] TheMusicGuy, that's strange ... check your mount points :) [12:30] Anyone have any idea? [12:30] My NTFS partition is mounted as /oscommon and the path I'm trying to backup is /oscommon/Users/ [12:30] TheMusicGuy, Nothing case sensitive or stuff like that? [12:31] Eyecandy for Ubuntu? :) [12:31] costre: The directory is listed as /oscommon/Users according to ls. [12:31] Anyone using tablet for drawing with Inkscape or gimp? what is the best tablet to run on Ubuntu 10.04..?? [12:31] DrGrov: compiz-fusion [12:32] TheMusicGuy, did you encrypt your HDD or your "My Documents"? [12:32] TheMusicGuy, is that real eyecandy? :) Serious stuff that really tests my computer to the limit? [12:32] I am new to Ubuntu so can someone care to help me with the sound card installation? [12:32] TheMusicGuy, You mount stuff directly under / ? [12:32] Stereocaulon: I already said I can access the directories just fine. [12:32] I have alsa drivers downloaded [12:32] DrGrov: it can be depending on what you do with it. [12:32] TheMusicGuy, What should I get from the repositories then? Emerald or? [12:33] TheMusicGuy, Sorry about making you repeat yourself, I just dropped into the conversation. [12:33] DrGrov: that's up to you [12:33] TheMusicGuy, I want to really make my new computer work it hard! lol [12:33] Anyone know If I'm running regular 10.04, and I switch to the netbook remix, if I will lose all my current files if I don't back them up? [12:33] TheMusicGuy, can you give me some names from the repositories if I want the most out of it? PM please a few names. [12:34] Anyone using tablet for drawing on Inkscape or gimp? what is the best tablet to run on Ubuntu 10.04..?? [12:34] Depravity, files in home dir? I don't think so. [12:34] Depravity: would you trust your files to info from irc? macke a backup [12:34] DrGrov: I don't know the exact names. Just search for compiz and read the descriptions. [12:34] Depravity, Always macke backups and do a clean slate when installing :) imho [12:34] Depravity, you can just keep your /home partition (if you made that one a separate partition that is...) [12:35] TheMusicGuy, ok. Will do that. Thanks :) [12:35] Ha netbook makes the backup process terribly long and obnoxious [12:35] Its so fun to move 68 gigs of files in 4 gig increments. [12:35] lol [12:35] Depravity, Or just create a separate partition on the drive? :) [12:35] * h00ked_ is back (gone 00:26:17) [12:36] Depravity, Or setup a decent network? [12:36] What do you mean by network? [12:36] lol [12:36] Depravity: dump can split up archive into smaller files, same as rar [12:36] Hi.. Right now I am trying to write two times to a socket (splitting a long buffer of 8 bytes into 2 4 byte buffers). But when I read at the other end, I get only the first buffer. Can't I use the same socket for writing two times and reading? [12:36] Depravity: or get an external HDD for backup. [12:36] Depravity, Access another computer and transfer the files. Also, I doubt you need to copy all 68 gigs [12:37] lol Fair enough. [12:37] also, external drives cost nothing [12:38] At what time should I partition the drive if I go that route? [12:38] Before install or during? [12:38] anyone good with sockets here? [12:39] I installed the compiz themes but I can't find anything in emerald. === bradley_ is now known as Termana [12:39] I can't get compiz running. Any particular command to run to get it up? [12:39] emerald uses emerald themes.. compiz dosent have themes. [12:39] compiz --replace to start compiz [12:39] DrGrov: emerald is just a window decorator. That's really not even the tip of the iceberg for what compiz can do. [12:40] salil, maybe you should visit #linux instead. [12:40] Stereocaulon: I just did.. No one really knows.. [12:40] Is there any guides on setting up network traffic load balancing between two (100MB) network cards in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64 ? [12:40] emerald is basically a dead project also. [12:40] DrGrov: If you want to see what compiz can REALLY do, get the configuration manager and the fusion-icon. [12:41] salil, it is a pretty advanced topic you've got, so I'm not surprised. [12:41] TheMusicGuy, yes I have them now. [12:41] rautamiekka: you have searched for some guides? i know some exist. but ive not noticed any tha tare ubuntu specific [12:41] rautamiekka: LACP? [12:41] Depravity: if all your important data is backed up to another partition of another device, it doesn't really matter how you decide to partition your netbook's internal HDD. [12:42] salil: you can write to a socket as long as you dont close it or it doesnt time out [12:42] Anyone using tablet for drawing on Inkscape or gimp? what is the best tablet to run on Ubuntu 10.04..?? [12:42] TheMusicGuy, the only problem is i can't get anything running in Compiz [12:42] Remmaze, go for Wacom tablets. Graphire4 for instance, or even a sumple Bamboo [12:42] Remmaze: Try the Wacom Bamboo series [12:42] salil: so if you dont get all the data on the client end you have an error in your code somewhere i guess [12:42] DrGrov: what do you mean? [12:42] ok thanx bro... [12:42] lolzz [12:43] SwedeMike, you still here? got strace output for firefox just before it crashed with SIGSEGV just like you wanted http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/innhrzuY. [12:43] Compiz comes with the normal ubuntu install DrGrov - what did you install exactly? [12:43] Remmaze, have fun designing! [12:44] dnivra: hm, I don't think that helps. I'd recommend to uninstall all plugins and see if that fixes anything. [12:44] bzrk: What was your previous message? X-Chat overflowed my window with search.. [12:44] SwedeMike, thanks! will try that out [12:45] rautamiekka: I don't think there is anything specific for ubuntu.. but there's bound to be some for general linux usage [12:45] Is there ne 1 here to give me a help 'bout ubuntu studios? [12:45] will do!! [12:45] shashwatpns: what do you mean? [12:46] TheMusicGuy : I mean ubuntu studios irc was just empty so i thought i would found help about it in #ubuntu [12:47] *find [12:47] !ubuntustudio | shashwatpns [12:47] shashwatpns: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [12:47] bzrk: ? [12:47] shashwatpns: you can turn a Ubuntu installation into a UbuntuStudio install by installing the package ubuntustudio-desktop [12:48] afternoon everybody [12:48] hi, is there a way to join two .avi videos together? [12:48] rautamiekka: here's some info https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinkAggregation [12:48] Exposure83, good afternoon! PLease state your question [12:48] join *.avi > together [12:48] ;) [12:48] TheMusicGuy : I have already done that [12:48] mwmstress, If you have access to a windows machine, I would recommend VirtualDub. In Linux, I have no idea, sorry to say :) [12:49] mwmstress: try avidemux [12:49] !info avidemux | mwmstress [12:49] mwmstress: there are various multimedia applications that can do that. kino is a good one. [12:49] mwmstress: avidemux (source: avidemux): a free video editor - GTK version. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu3 (lucid), package size 880 kB, installed size 2308 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc all) === overmind is now known as overmind_ === overmind_ is now known as overmind [12:49] slart, its too confusing [12:49] nope, lol [12:49] My question is how do i record from midi device? [12:49] i purchased huawei e1550 3g modem from a network operator..they gave me an unlock code to use other operator....how do iu use that on ubuntu [12:49] costre, i think thats the easiest way [12:49] mwmstress: oh my.. load one movie, load the other.. save.. that's really all there is to it [12:49] shashwatpns: that depends on what you're trying to do with the MIDI input data. [12:49] shashwatpns, try the Jack Audioserver [12:50] mwmstress, Don't be too sure [12:50] shashwatpns: lmms can connect midi input to its instruments. [12:50] SwedeMike, I found out a problem: FF crashes only when I am running tweetdeck. I switched it off and FF didn't crash. let me try it once more. [12:51] Hello [12:51] I give up, too stupid for linux I guess... will keep useing the idiot light OS (win) [12:51] TheMusicGuy : For the first time have i connected my casio ctk-710 to a linux machine. How do I know whether Ubuntu has identified or not [12:51] Slart: That article looks interesting, I'll check that. Thanks so far. [12:51] dnivra, does tweetdeck use Flash? In that case, just disable the Flash plugin, which is quite buggy. [12:52] i am annoyed by the "disable touchpad while typing" "feature". any idea how to turn this off? [12:52] slart, yh, i do that, but when i load the second video, the first video disappears [12:52] Stereocaulon, tweetdeck uses Adobe Air. not quite the same is it? [12:52] The loadable Linux kernel module snd_intel8x0 is installed. Why does '~$ rgrep 'snd_intel8x0' /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/drivers 2>/dev/null' produce no output? [12:52] moetunes: when doing the grub-install, am i supposed to be using the uid of the disk that has ubuntu installed, but the path should be the windows disk? [12:53] mwmstress: are you sure about that? tried rewinding to the beginning and looking? last time I checked it appends the second movie to the first [12:53] dnivra, no not quite, but it is an Adobe product and their plugins are a bit flaky. [12:53] shashwatpns: well, if you just want to acknowledge that something happened when you plugged it in, assuming its a USB midi adapter you're using, you can type `tail -f /var/log/messages` into a command prompt and watch the output for anything about a MIDI device. Try unplugging it and plugging it in again. [12:53] bullgard_: no function of that name. find /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/ -name '*snd_intel*' [12:54] MACscr_lappy: I do that from a live cd and in a grub terminal - but common sense says to install to sda - but Dr_Willis knows more about it [12:54] Stereocaulon, oh yes I totally agree. [12:55] shashwatpns: I guess I should have started by asking, how does the MIDI keyboard physically connect to the computer? [12:55] erUSUL: '~$ find /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/ -name '*snd_intel*'' does not produce any output. [12:55] How do I get fusion-icon to start on startup? [12:55] TheMusicGuy : What do you mean by " Physically Connect" ? [12:56] The command is fusion-icon? [12:56] I have a problem with my Wacom Wireless tablet, it is discovered and installed by bluetooth but it doesn't work at all [12:56] MACscr_lappy: grub installs to the mbr of the disk you are wanting to boot from. can be any sda sdb sdc.. depends on how you got the bios setup [12:56] moetunes: i did that, but even using the directions you gave me and combining them with the wiki, its exactly what i did before and windows still just loads automatically with no grub menu ever showing, etc. I have rebooted so many times, reinstalled, no difference. What can i do to verify things before i reboot again [12:56] MACscr_lappy: i got a few pc's where sda is the optical drive. :) [12:56] Do I need any additional drivers ? [12:56] shashwatpns, I guess TheMusicGuy means the plug and the socket "physical connection" [12:56] mwmstress: ok, my bad.. I've always dragged and dropped movies on the avidemux window.. there is actually a "Append" option in the File menu you have to use [12:56] DrGrov: Ubuntu has a configuration utility for running commands when a user logs in. [12:56] slart, defiantly sure, unless i am that stupid [12:56] karab444: "Doesn't work" is not precise description. [12:56] Stereocaulon, even worse is when adobe's 32 bit flash player is a part of 64bit Ubuntu repo and doesn't work. wonder why that is so too? couldn't Ubuntu add 64bit flash to the repo; I agree it is still beta version but they could do it right? [12:56] thnx for helping Dr_Willis :] [12:57] dnivra, Actually it's an Alpha version, not a Beta. [12:57] TheMusicGuy & Stereocaulon : I mean Definetly USB [12:57] slart, ok that worked, thanks [12:57] Stereocaulon, Oops! Sorry got the terms mixed up:). [12:57] TheMusicGuy, ok. I will try that. I hope it is easy to keep it running. One thing I really want to have from compiz is transparency. [12:57] Dr_Willis: according to blkid, sda is the windows disk, so i have it setup to that. So if windows is automatically loading then i would assume the bios is setup to load that disk first. So im back to square one [12:58] DrGrov: it can definitely do that. [12:58] hi [12:58] dnivra, never mind :-) But the 64-bit's version is so buggy that it will crash Firefox more than once. That behaviour is not acceptable in a LTS edition. [12:59] TheMusicGuy : I have connected now how do i record? [12:59] shashwatpns: You want to record the MIDI input, or just the audio of the keyboard speakers? [12:59] TheMusicGuy, good. I just don't find that setting somewhere in Compiz with the fusion-icon.... :( [13:00] MIDI Input [13:00] both [13:00] Stereocaulon, it is buggy? I've not experienced much problems. but without an swf player what is the point? gnash and swfdec didn't work very well for me and hence was forced to take this alpha version. [13:00] shashwatpns: ok. well, there are a wealth of different things you can do with MIDI input. "record" is kind of a vague term here. [13:01] dnivra, True...gnash and swfdec are even worse in performance, but at least they don't crash FF [13:01] Stereocaulon, they don't work either. least for me :(. [13:01] shashwatpns: its kind of complicated. you will probably begin by starting a JACK server with the command `jackd`. [13:02] Dr_Willis: i just the boot disk to the ubuntu one and that solved it [13:02] dnivra, It is time to abandon flash in favor of a working alternative. Sadly, that alternative doesn't seem to exist yet. [13:02] anyone else having issues with lucid and the java media framework? [13:03] shashwatpns: From there, you have to start one of the MANY applications available for MIDI input. You can check out Rosegarden, LMMS, ZynAddSubFx, or any combination thereof. [13:03] Stereocaulon, I seriously agree. wish there was one: java applets didn't fancy me much thought they're good. [13:03] Stereocaulon, (and also wonder is they can be put to the same uses) [13:03] shashwatpns: I find LMMS fairly easy to use and configure. [13:04] where can i get help on empathy? i have an issue with LCS/OCS pidgin-sipe in empathy. I cannot seem to get the settings right. It looks like from the debug it is attempting to prompt me to accept an unknown root authority which is what happened under pidgin, but empathy never gives me the notification [13:04] TheMusicGuy :Ya its really great [13:04] is it important that i install these ati/amd fglrx drivesr that ubuntu is recommending versus getting ones directly from ati? [13:05] dnivra, Well, programming SMIL (SVG Video) is still in it's nappies, but that might (eventually) provide a working alternative to flash. [13:05] defn: You can get help in #empathy of the URL irc://irc.gimp.org/empathy [13:05] MACscr_lappy: the ones that Ubuntu is recommending probably ARE the ones by ATI. Are they marked as "proprietary", "non-free", etc.? [13:05] bullgard_: #empathy => empty [13:06] I need to rotate a vieo by 90 degrees; what application can I use for that? [13:06] TheMusicGuy: proprietary [13:06] defn: Your stetement is false. [13:06] hi how can change logon theme ubuntu 10 [13:06] ok guys I have a problem,yesterday I installed VMware workstation and today is nowhere to be found..I searched for it and I found only it`s display driver [13:06] MACscr_lappy: yeah, I'm betting its the official ATI driver. [13:06] s/stetement/statement/ [13:07] Stereocaulon, I hope it evolves soon [13:07] Stereocaulon, and becomes a standard [13:07] dnivra, it would be inventing the wheel again. If only Adobe would release the full specs of Flash, so that we can build a good player an authoring program... [13:07] Stereocaulon, agreed. that is also true. but adobe would never do that right? [13:08] hi, how can change logon theme ubuntu 10 [13:08] JIMOR, you mean the gdm login screen theme? [13:08] how to install avg? [13:08] fuck y a que des anglais [13:08] JIMOR, gdm login screen is where you enter you password to login. [13:08] anyways TheMusicGuy Stereocaulon thanks thanks for ur help [13:08] yes [13:08] ¹language | spyke [13:08] spyke: watch the language mate [13:09] !language | spyke [13:09] spyke: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:09] JIMOR, actually the "edit login screen" has been removed since Ubuntu 9.10. [13:09] ok guys I have a problem,yesterday I installed VMware workstation and today is nowhere to be found..I searched for it and I found only it`s display driver..can someone help me?? [13:09] dnivra, I'm no so sure. If Apple keeps pressing them, they might eventually do just that. They do have a serious headstart, because they already have a fully functional authoring program [13:09] JIMOR, I suggest you don't do it: i did it in Ubuntu 9.10 and couldn't revert to the old one or change it. [13:10] guys I've a sata hardisk that's not showing up in sudo fdisk -l any ideas why? [13:10] What could be the problem when I can't change desktop when I have Compiz running? [13:10] I can't switch [13:10] Stereocaulon, Apple have a headway already? Cool! got any links/info? [13:10] tnks [13:11] dnivra, Sorry for being ambiguous. Apple does not have Flash authoring software, but Adobe sure does. [13:11] DrGrov: what do mean by "change desktop"? [13:11] as in virtual desktops? [13:11] bullgard_: away for a moment sorry. what you are looking for should be here /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/sound/pci/intel8x0.c [13:12] Stereocaulon, oh ok. misread that:). [13:12] Stereocaulon, where does Apple come into the picture then? [13:13] dnivra, Apple is continuously bashing Flash for not being open (says the Kettle(!) ) and detrimental to mobile device battery life [13:13] i need some help with grub, i just reinstalled 10.04, but now i cant boot windows7 anymore, it's still in the boot list though === m00se is now known as testestestestest [13:14] Stereocaulon, ha! now that's serious pressure considering popularity of iPhone! [13:14] TheMusicGuy, I mean to change my desktop like scrolling through the 4 virtual desktops that is there by default. === testestestestest is now known as m00se [13:14] dnivra, Stereocaulon please move this to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:14] dnivra, can we continue this conversation on ubuntu-offtopic, or go PM? In this way we are muddying the #ubuntu channel [13:14] Stereocaulon: Hah is apple saying someone else not being open? iPhone? [13:15] bazhang, sorry. I am already leaving this. Stereocaulon PM is fine. [13:16] possible to run a dd image as hdd with virtual box? === OerHeks is now known as Oer [13:18] erUSUL: Yes indeed. Thank you very much for your help.

[13:26] says it cannot parse xorg [13:26] i ran with gksu [13:26] hi, anybody ever used qutecom? i have no idea where i can get a account for that app.. (it seems to be in the ubuntu repositories) [13:26] jasunto: save the config to a different file. then copy it over to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:26] jasunto: thats 'one' work around [13:26] ok, ill try that really quick [13:26] jasunto: but i thought that got fixed on 10.04 [13:27] jasunto: heres my 2 monitor xorg.conf -> http://pastebin.com/4cJ28NQm [13:27] bbl [13:29] hi guys! how do i reassemble a "broken" raid 5? [13:30] remoteCTRL2: how is it broken, what program do you use to make raid? [13:31] dabaR: i had to exchange the mainboard due to a hw failure, after that i reassembled it sploppy now i have one hdd listed as removed if i do sudo mdadm /dev/mapper/raid [13:31] asraniel: did you try #qutecom? [13:31] dabaR: does that about answer it? [13:31] remoteCTRL2: depends on how the raid5 was created. [13:31] remoteCTRL2: sure [13:32] something during start of ubuntu makes it slower than before, anyone here that can help me find what I have done wrong? a few days ago it started verry fast, but not now. this is what it writes durring start http://paste.ubuntu.com/434343/ [13:32] SwedeMike: dabaR can you create the raid with somethng other than mdadm and monitor it with amdadm then? [13:32] and this is when exit of ubuntu http://paste.ubuntu.com/434356/ [13:33] remoteCTRL2: yes, there are a lot of different raid5:s, motherboard raid (dmraid), hw-dependant raid5 (3ware, areca etc) [13:33] bobo123: how many times did you boot? [13:33] (dont get me wrong i'm such a noob to this...) [13:33] remoteCTRL2: but if it's md raid, then you have to use mdadm to add back the missing disk [13:33] bobo123: I mean, more than once? [13:33] SwedeMike: which is exactly what i am trying to do...? [13:34] I still wasn't able to find any documents about changed things in 10.04 can any one give me any links? [13:34] Thanks! [13:34] dabaR: jeah just went there [13:34] dabaR: since it was fast you mean? I don't know it is 2-3 days ago it has acted like this so maybe 10 times.... [13:34] remoteCTRL2: yes, so mdadm --manage /dev/md --add /dev/ [13:34] bobo123: Well, installing a server, that starts at boot, would certainly slow it down [13:34] dabaR: yes I have started it more than one time in this slow mode [13:34] anybody experiencing crashes with skype? i'm using 64bit ubuntu if that matters. [13:35] bobo123: I would expect that to be the reason [13:35] SwedeMike: would it in that case resync the datsa on the drive or erase them all and then resync? [13:35] hi [13:35] remoteCTRL2: basically resync [13:35] hi [13:35] remoteCTRL2: :-) You would hope [13:35] remoteCTRL2: no, if you're only missing a single drive then it'll just sync up without losing data (unless you have read errors on the existing drives) [13:36] dabaR: but I haven't installed a server, not wanting to anyway... perhaps something that I have run have started a server.... how do I find out? [13:36] remoteCTRL2: but backups are always good in these situations, right SwedeMike ? [13:36] dabaR: definitely. [13:36] hello [13:36] raid5 is just an uptime solver, not a replacement for backups. [13:36] SwedeMike: erm i believe you got me wrong there dude, this drive was already part of the raid i kjust had "lost" it for a few reboots and now it needs resynchronisation...? [13:36] man, meilianie said hi twice, then left :=/ [13:37] is there somebody here that can help me with lib error in the new ubuntu studio ? [13:37] remoteCTRL2: yes, --add is still valid for that scenario [13:37] hello [13:37] SwedeMike: glorious! i will try that and report back then, gimme a minute pls:) [13:37] tittn, there's a channel for ubuntu studio, #ubuntu-studio [13:38] Hi, may i know what GTK theme or clearlook them is this: http://www.taimila.com/entify/images/VisualDesigner.png [13:38] http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48551445/K%C3%A9perny%C5%91k%C3%A9p.png -- my screen looks like this panels on the left-right cannot be right clicked, panel on the top missing. how can I remove the left-right panels, and how can I get back the panel from the top?

And where can I set the colors, because the man writes that: "~/.gntrc: configuration file for gnt applications" But haven't got this file. [13:46] tax0n: what are you trying to get it to do? use vi as the editor or somthing? [13:46] Juniksz: touch ~/.gntrc here you go [13:46] Dr_Willis, I want it to launch 'emacs -nw -q' but it keeps using nano. [13:46] tax0n: Hmm.. launches nano for what? when you hit f3 to edit? [13:47] bzrk: YOu there? [13:47] Dr_WIllis, when I use F4 to edit. [13:47] hi, do you know something about that geeqie is slower than gqview? e.g. with gqview i can view many images in normal speed. now i installed geeqie and it uses 100% CPU, when viewing just one picture... [13:47] what is the channel for sysadmin? $ubuntu-sysadmin? [13:47] tax0n, sudo update-alternatives --config editor [13:47] tax0n: odd. its using the mc editor here. Ive had it use vi befor [13:48] does anyone know if it is possible to re-route an audio program in/out through pulseaudio if it is using alsa plughw:0,0? [13:48] i've tried /etc/asound.conf as suggested [13:48] Dr_Willis, yes: I thought so as the man page says it uses vi by default (though being on Ubuntu, not Unix might be why) [13:48] Seveas, thanks: I'll try that. [13:48] magic mouse work in ubuntu? [13:48] Pretto: sysadmin? maybe #ubuntu-server ? [13:49] jasunto, yes, as a normal mouse. There is an experimental driver for the magic part [13:49] it never sees it [13:49] tax0n: altering my .mc/ini now [13:50] turnining on is in discovery for a short period of time? [13:50] you need to unlink it from your mac first to make it discoverable [13:50] ahh [13:50] thanks [13:50] digitalstimulus, it auto routes thru alsa-base into PA , if you want to bypass PA then I'm not sure it can be done,,,you can always remove PA [13:50] What's so magic about it. [13:50] Hmm.. tax0n i altered the ini. hit f4 for external edit.. and It ASKED me what editor to use. [13:50] * dabaR googles [13:50] nothing really [13:50] dabaR, the entire surface is touch sensitive [13:50] Dr_Willis, .mc/ini only seems to have 'use_internal_edit'; I think what Seveas suggested will work. Just going to test. [13:51] use_internal_edit=0 [13:51] Dr_Willis, my mc uses f3 for view, f4 for edit [13:51] it's already set 0 [13:51] is there a fix for the wireless icon now showing white sqaure behind it? [13:51] tax0n: first time i hit F4 it asked. on a per user setting. so its in one of the mc files somewhere [13:52] Man, I hate marketing write-ups [13:52] Dr_Willis, no, that's not mc asking it but sensible-editor. Which confirms my suspicion about update-alternatives :) [13:52] BluesKaj, I'm having a problem where an application even with the /etc/asound.conf file configured is still using resources exclusively and not allowing other applications to play/capture sound. the application is crudely implemented to use alsa only [13:52] tax0n, also look in ~/.selected_editor [13:52] Hey guys, a LaTeX question here: so I was pretty sure I had installed AUCTeX, but apparently not, I have a couple of LaTeX commands for my emacs mode which are sweet - I don't want to lose, but I'm not sure where they come from (apparently not AUCTeX), is there anyway of identifying what LaTeX distribution I have installed? === bullgard__ is now known as bullgard4 [13:52] Seveas: ahh so its just set my EDITOR variable somewhere. [13:53] Dr_Willis, using 'sudo update-alternatives --config editor' has given me emacs but now within an xterm as I want it. [13:53] tax0n: but this was as a user.. so theres a user setting some where [13:53] Seveas, thanks - will do. [13:53] Dr_Willis, ~/.selected_editor :) [13:54] mc simpoly launches /usr/bin/editor, which by default is symlinked to sensible-editor, which asks that question and stores ~/.selected_editor. The two ways around it are forcing vim upon everyone via update-alternatives or editing ~/.selected_editor [13:54] digitalstimulus, check the mixer and make sure you have audio capture enabled [13:54] cat # Generated by /usr/bin/select-editor [13:54] SELECTED_EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim.basic" [13:54] Is there any way to force nautilus to redraw all of the icons in a folder, specifically a folder full of video files that some have a preview image and some have just a generic movie icon. How can I make it recheck all of them or whatever? [13:54] so run select-editor :) [13:55] Is there a preview cache or something? [13:56] LinuxGuy2009: theres a file size limit i think for generating thumbnails what can differ if its on a local or remote filesystem. F5 refreshes the dir. [13:56] digitalstimulus, pulesaudio is merely another sound source layer which to me is completely redundant on my setup at least..perhaps you have a fancier mulitchannel surround setup ,then PA might be of some benefit . === simon_ is now known as Guest64645 [13:57] Dr_Willis: Yeah i checked that and I cranked it up to 4GB file size limit and didnt help. Only movie that wont show a preview is my ripped Avatar DVD that I made with HandBrake. No idea why. If I rename the file or extension then it draws one, but as soon as I name it back to Avatar.mp4 it goes back to the basic video icon again. Think this may be a bug or something? [13:57] Does anybody know how to fix a UREADAHEAD Status 5 error on boot? [13:58] can i fix some of my notification area icons, they have white behind them but the panel is dark [13:58] Seveas.

[14:09] MacHead: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub yourself [14:10] guntbert: I don't have a column per say, just a list of packages available and a description of said package...

[14:10] kalimera everyone [14:10] chu_: with aptitude search ? (not apt-cache search) [14:10] can anyone help with ureadahead status 5 error at boot up? [14:10] marcuy, yes a blue screen , but you have to configure it to receive the tv channels. They don't come in automatically . [14:10] iirc this happens in some other entry fields as well, even on other computers, even not ubuntu, but debian... i'm not sure atm. better ask there? [14:10] MoeT: what does error 5 mean?

[16:42] Sorry [16:42] neezer: since your external (usb) driver functions properly, I don't think it's the usb drivers... "lsmod |grep usb" shows usb_storage, and usb_hid ? [16:42] Good morning folks. I just installed Lucid from an image downloaded last night. This is my first foray into Linux since a Slackware version about 5 years ago. I've forgotten so much, and so much has changed. My video card is an nvidia GeForce4 ti 4400. Desktop effects aren't working. Any pointers? [16:43] funkyHat : ok for you 3 last posts, I slower than you are :-) I'll try all of this, tks again [16:43] any thoughts? embedded video flashes for me [16:43] seems using Dropbox on Lucid isnt as straight fwd as it was on intrepid [16:43] I don't get an error message bhuvi [16:43] neezer: i meant external drive, not external driver :) [16:43] lk [16:43] kourou: no problem ⢁) have fun [16:43] Better? ;D [16:43] raven: safe enough for you considering you're asking in here =) I think it's something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXX you'll have to check the man page for exact syntax [16:43] anyone aware of the lucid repo for dropbox [16:43] !ppa | llx [16:43] llx: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

If I run it withough the external drive it is the same except for a 0 at the end instead of a 1. [16:45] how can I verify if SFTP is running on my ubuntu?

It is the same whether it is plugged in or not. [16:45] xomp: check "lsof -i :22" and "grep ftp /etc/ssh/sshd_config" [16:46] where does totem/gstreamer expect the DVB configuration file?

[16:47] neezer: with both devices connected, it should be "2" - i don't know why it does not recognize the ipod properly [16:47] llutz, oh sorry Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server [16:47] xomp: enabled [16:48] I'm getting an error when I try to connect to it and it says "are you sure it's running?" lol [16:48] "Recieved too large" error [16:48] donaldbrasco: setting up a LAN is very easy.. just connect the network cables and it will work.. sharing files over that network is another thing.. using centralized profiles, authorization and such is also takes some work.. what are you trying to do? [16:48] oCean_: thanks for the help, I appreciate it....it is really wierd because I was able to drag/drop a song onto it with rhythmbox yesterday. It took a long time, but it worked....I haven't made any changes since then.... [16:49] slart(ibartfarst) haha good name ... so how do I see other computers on that network? [16:49] at this point I would be thrilled to have any wifi functionality [16:49] xomp: did you connect to the correct IP? can you ssh to that host? use "sftp -v user@host" for more info [16:50] llutz, I can ssh into the host just fine and it is using the correct IP address [16:50] Chaddledee, then i think u should make use of -a option [16:50] donaldbrasco: "see" ? if you've got dhcp or static ip setup they will respond to ping.. or you mean something else? === root_ is now known as Profesor_xo [16:50] llutz, http://pastebin.com/y5zD3MtC [16:50] On this page: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k What is it trying to describe where it says "To enable ath9k, you must first enable mac80211: " that section doesn't make any sense [16:50] neezer: could it be something on the ipod? Is it possible to try and connect the pod to another machine? [16:50] Oooh! [16:50] xomp: sorry i cannot check, i don't have www here [16:50] Connecting! [16:51] Am I the only one who thinks it's a bad idea to run an IRC client as root? [16:51] m45h: does the memory show up in memtest86, or in the bios? [16:51] llutz, oh ok [16:51] I have a pc running lucid, one roomy has an imac and the other vista - we would like to be able to share files between each other's computers [16:51] jlanthripp: no, its a really dumb idea [16:51] it looks like it's shwing a menu system but I can't figure out where that is [16:51] I could try a windows machine....last time I did that was when I sync'd the music from itunes....i'm trying to get rid of that though. [16:51] !samba | donaldbrasco [16:51] But it's stuck connecting. [16:51] donaldbrasco: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Can you helpme [16:52] "root_ (~root@adsl200-58-217-33.epm.net.co) has joined #ubuntu" :-/ [16:52] donaldbrasco: since windows is a bit behind on the whole networking thing it's easiest to to things the windows way.. that means setting up samba [16:52] funkyhat ill do a memtest now [16:52] lol... irc'ing as root [16:52] donaldbrasco: as far as I know that's what the default sharing thing does in ubuntu [16:52] i'm trying to mount a partition whis is a piece of a raid, but it keeps telling me that the paritition is mounted [16:52] bastid_raZor, I'm actually on a windows computer trying to SFTP into my ubuntu VPS [16:53] Bhuvi, I can now see all networks but not connect.

[16:53] neezer: I have no clue as to why there is no device created for the thing. Already tried rebooting the machine? [16:53] bastid_raZor, that's what I'm using is WinSCP :) [16:54] the new version 10.04 looks weird, but its cool [16:54] Slart: I'm checking Samba out now - how 'bout the mac ... will samba work with that? [16:54] donaldbrasco: I've never used a mac myself but I think it does [16:54] oCean_: not yet....I'm booting up my windows machine too....just to make sure it still works on that...if not I'll just do a hard reset on the pod.... [16:54] xomp: you have openssh-server installed on the ubuntu side? [16:54] Lasivian: it's showing you the menu that appears when you prepare a kernel compile by doing a "make menuconfig" [16:54] I just installed Sun-java on my upgraded lucid system. I only get a grey box in firefox where the javaapplet should have been started. ls in .mozilla/plugins show no symlink to java.. What name and to what should I symlink to? [16:55] Hi, i got a problem with kopete when i click on the icon on that top panel that doesnt show a theme but those icons in those options such as (set status,configure etc) it shows but that options i see is without the KOPETE theme but works fine as in KDE used to work finely here on GNome too why ? i have even reinsalled it [16:55] LjL: ahh, thanks [16:55] neezer: roger! :) [16:55] donaldbrasco: it might call it something else.. something like "windows networking" or "windows filesharing" but those should work both [16:55] Lasivian: i don't really know, but i suspect there's much easier ways to get this working than compiling your own kernel... [16:55] so I guess I broke the kernel, that sunds bad :/ [16:55] Slart: I'm nervous ... don't want to break my system [16:55] bastid_raZor, how to check? [16:55] hello everybody [16:55] LjL: well, all I know right now is trying to install ath9k has completely broken my wireless and nothing works [16:55] xomp: you said you can ssh into the host, so it IS installed [16:56] xomp: apt-cace policy openssh-server [16:56] I just installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I got TwinView working for dual heads on my GeForce 4 Ti4400 video card after a little work, part of which involved installing the nvidia-glx driver. Desktop effects aren't working, however. Any ideas on that? [16:56] Chaddledee, if your network uses static ip then u have to enter it [16:56] could someone please do a " ls -la .mozilla/plugins " and paste it here please? [16:56] xomp: apt-cache [16:56] donaldbrasco: ubuntu won't break because you share a folder.. I seriously doubt the mac will either.. the windows computer already has filesharing enabled by default, I think [16:56] Slart: problem is alot of the tutorials or guides are old and I'm only partially familiar with linux [16:56] hey guys I am having a problem installing ubuntu it hangs at 142% on getting time server [16:56] and when I try via live cd it takes ages when I set my keyboard layout [16:56] make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'. Stop. - oh yeah, this is turning out to be a great morning, lol [16:57] anyone know? [16:57] chaoshaxor: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?

[16:57] I want a program with which I can download entire websites like sacred-texts.com [16:57] anyone helpe me to install a printer [16:57] read the beginning of this for instance - makes me nervous ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [16:57] donaldbrasco: ok.. want a short tutorial.. find a folder with some files in it.. right click on it.. select "sharing options", check the "Share this folder" checkbox.. ubuntu will tell you it wants to install something.. let it do that.. tadaaa.. finished =) [16:57] Yep action their were no defects [16:57] psuasti: try wget [16:57] psuasti: httrack i think can do that. [16:57] psuasti: wget can do that. [16:57] Hi. How to set a filesystem as unmounted, the partition was not unmounted before shutdown [16:57] psuasti: i think there's a couple like that. 'wget' being one of them [16:58] donaldbrasco: oh.. you might want to reboot after ubuntu has installed its thing.. I think it will even pop up a small text box telling you about it as well [16:58] I have an Lexmark X6690 and a ubuntu 10.04 can anyone helpe me to install a printer [16:58] Slart: haha - thanks ... I did that, though - still can't see anything [16:58] chaoshaxor: i suggest you rerun the install but disconnect the network so that it doesnt try to contact any ntp servers [16:58] rui [16:58] rui: what have you tried so far to 'install' it? [16:58] networking has always been so complicated to me [16:58] donaldbrasco: did you do reboot? [16:58] yes [16:58] hello! I just wanted to say I solved it; please upgrade by running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". that solved the problem of missing battery tab in power management. [16:58] this was previously [16:58] rui: what is the printer interface, usb ethernet, or shared from another computer. [16:58] thing is Action is that I have a pci wireless card [16:58] will it try and connect with that? [16:58] is usb [16:59] I've already been screwing around with this for awhile [16:59] could someone who has the latest sun-java6-plugin from the repo installed please do a ls -la .mozilla/plugins and paste the result (symlink) here/to me? [16:59] greezmunkey :is usb [16:59] rui: is it plugged in? [16:59] yes [16:59] bastid_raZor, it shows it as installed [16:59] brbr [16:59] greezmunkey :yes [16:59] donaldbrasco: I just did it on my laptop and desktop.. worked without any other configuration.. both computers on ubuntu 10.04 [16:59] rui: type lsusb in a terminal, see what you find. [16:59] Its actually ridiculous. [16:59] xomp: what is the error you get when trying to connect from the windows side? [17:00] Chaddledee, could u connect [17:00] Internet has.slowly become more and more troublesome. [17:00] hey guys. Anyone know if (and why) amanda server doesn't appear to be compiled with krb5 support enabled? ldd on a few binaries seems to verify it, but no idea how accurate a test that might be. [17:00] Trying something now. [17:00] H'm [17:00] Well that's new. [17:00] Yes! [17:01] And I have nets. [17:01] Hey [17:01] Baddaswing!

I did use ubuntu before, but I deleted it and did a fresh format [17:01] geez [17:01] greezmunkey: i have six device [17:01] donaldbrasco: What IRC client are you using? [17:01] hi there, i'd like to use gloobus preview, this requires me to have nautilus elementary and ofcourse the gloobuspreview installed, but i'd like to always use the stable versions of both, and all i can find are PPA's for both of them [17:01] I blacklisted some stuff and did some on boot stuff. [17:01] filosofixit: you could try: sudo find / -iname "libnpjp2.so" [17:01] conversation [17:01] And it works :D [17:02] donaldbrasco: have you tried scrolling up? [17:02] Thank for the help bhuvi [17:02] After upgrading to 10.04, mt-daapd no longer works. I ran it in max-debug-mode and saw no activity as I tried to connect to it from itunes. [17:02] actionParsnip, should the symlink-name in the plugins dir. be libpjp2.so also? [17:02] rui: Hmm, does that printer have an Ethernet connector? [17:02] bastid_raZor, http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/323/sftp.jpg [17:02] yeah - keeps pulling me back down everytime someone says something [17:02] oh. Never tried that one. You should be able to scroll up, and it'll stay where it is until you scroll back down [17:02] hallo [17:02] filosofixit: i personally use the .bin file and put it in /opt for 64bit java rather than nspluginwrapper java [17:02] hello [17:02] donaldbrasco: weird, it doesn't do that for me. when you said conversation, you meant konversation? on lucid?

[17:02] donaldbrasco: just sroll up a little [17:03] Can I see an svn-diff of the mt-daapd package between karmic and lucid? Are there branch names I should use? [17:03] greezmunkey:she is wireless and have an usb port [17:03] shoot - meant empathy [17:03] filosofixit: yes, wait til it finds stuff then symlink the file and restart the browser to test, if not then delete the link [17:03] donaldbrasco: oh. don't know about empathy [17:03] Hi, does anyone know how to have SSH prompt for a passphrase when connecting to a server? [17:03] any help plz? [17:03] rui: You will probably have to share that printer from a windows PC, as driver support is non-existant as I can see. Do you have a windows box that you can install it on? [17:03] actionParsnip, thanks! I will give it a go :) [17:03] I have to ssh-add now, I swear it was automatic before [17:03] Also, I don't know where to get the info on connecting to ubuntu's svn. OH! They use bzr, don't they.

That should work. Get your laptop connected to the router, as well as your ubuntu box. Connect the printer to the laptop, and share it in control panel, ok.

You need to do sudo -i then the echo command [17:29] if I reboot o turn on the pc i get the console login screen, I have to run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to start xfce [17:30] kourou: or what bastid_raZor said [17:30] please [17:30] HTT-Bird: actaully the issue isn't with echo being built in, it's with using an output redirect [17:30] *actually [17:30] funkyHat: yeah, :) that's what I should have said, thx [17:31] hi...

[18:10] airtonix: Hmm? [18:10] DCGstudios: I think it came because I turned off in a wrong way my laptop and when the system was checking for system errors I canceled [18:10] airtonix, thanks very muchly [18:10] Talu, you can't write to /usr without permission, running that will give you a nautilus window running as the root user.

Most common is mplayer uses sound, and firefox crashes when I visit youtube that also wants to play sound. Ideas on this? [18:12] salil: not by default, but, no ports are open by default. As apps install themselves on ports, the firewall makes way for that [18:12] Luija, I read your response, i need to create a grub menu entry for someone else, ill be one second.

I depressed it, but the mouse still remains inactive [18:28] your user does not have access to the GUI, cause the other user is using the GUI [18:28] mom_, that user probably dont have access to the GUI, you could use sudo instead (with apt-get) [18:28] how i recover my x environment ? pplz i need a solution [18:28] DCGstudios: Well... when I installed 10.04 (I have used Kubuntu since 8.04) I used the entire disk option installation from the Live CD, dont know if that answers your question [18:28] I turned the laptop off and managed to get it to work on the login screen, but whern gnome loads up, the mouse locks out [18:29] test34, my account is the sudo user, thats the one i switched to [18:29] JAGFin1, did you try and restart the sys? [18:29] DCGstudios: I hope yes, I never payed attention with the home partition hahaha [18:29] Zelozelos: yes, [18:29] mom_: tried using gksu instead of su? [18:29] mom_, use sudo apt-get or login to X11 with that user instead [18:29] LuisJa, are you on a fresh install at the moment? (with your files backed up, or not wanted on that partition' [18:29] Login screen works fine, but when everything else loads up, the mouse locks and is inactive [18:29] Slart, yes gksudo synaptic [18:29] Lasivian: What is the output of this: modprobe -l ath9k [18:29] how i recover my x environment ? pplz i need a solution [18:29] how do we install the downloaded themes for the cover gloobus application ?

[18:30] JAGFin1 have you built an Ubuntu archive mirror before? [18:30] how i recover my x environment ? pplz i need a solution [18:31] Lasivian: And do you have the ath_pci module blacklisted? You can check in this file: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf [18:31] your user does not have access to the GUI, cause the other user is using the GUI? [18:31] Slart, maybe it was over 7 months ago when 9.10 was released [18:31] Sensiva: that's a negative [18:31] sorry, wrong send [18:31] tux_, What do you mean? [18:31] tux_: ya, what does that mean? [18:31] JAGFin1, do you have the mousetrap thingy? perhaps you locked the mouse there, if not, you can try and add another account and see if its simply a messed up setting, then its a matter of finding that setting n deleting it (i think anyhow) [18:31] LuisJa, well generally fresh just means that you have nothing personal that you would have to backup.. honestly there could be many problems that come up from file locks (incorrect shutdowns) and a bad idea to skip file check after an event like that [18:31] sudo dpkg-reconfigure x-server ? [18:31] xangua, there is no network preferences anywhere === ChickenStudios_ is now known as ChickenStudios [18:31] flan_suse: doublechecked and yes it is blacklisted [18:31] Zelozelos: Not sure what you mean by 'mousetrap' but I can try to add another account [18:32] mom_: try running "xhost +" [18:32] tux_, Maybe its a good idea to tell us how exactly u crashed your x [18:32] JAGFin1 thank you, but I need a technical detailed answer for how to choose the appropriate filesystem [18:32] I do have a feeling that a conf was messed up somewhere [18:32] ShawnRisk: right clic on the network icon> edit conections [18:32] Lasivian: Okay, and double-check that it's not loaded: lsmod | grep ath_pci [18:32] LuisJa, If i were you, since your really dont even know how many problems it caused and your still on a fresh install, i woud take 20 minutes to just reinstall. But i may consider doing partitions a little different this time if you plan on using linux for the long term. [18:32] mom_: ie xhost +bob_the_great if that's the user you're su-ing to [18:32] flan_suse: no output [18:32] JAGFin1, its an area on a panel that you can trap your mouse pointer, also try and rapidly press/depress the button, maybe itll un-confuse it [18:32] Lasivian: And ath9k is loaded? [18:32] flan_suse: "lsmod | grep ath" returns nothing [18:32] mom_: not sure if you need to run that as root or just as your regular user.. try as the regular user first [18:32] What might cause my gtk themes to not be applied when I run openbox? [18:33] Slart so xhost username? [18:33] DCGstudios: Oh hell no, I got some photos, files, and important documents I must keep! [18:33] Zelozelos: I'll give it a try. This hasn't seemed to be a problem before when I've used it [18:33] mom_: xhost +username [18:33] Thanks [18:33] xangua, yes this is set to connect automatically. Yet it says connected 4 days ago. [18:33] Is there any way to consider only specific packages from certain repositories? I.e. libnss3-1d is much more recent in Debian sid, and I'd like to use that and a handful of other packages, but not consider others for upgrade. [18:33] flan_suse: if by "loaded" you mean "modprobe ath9k" retuyrns no errors, yes [18:33] Slart, xhost: bad hostname "username" [18:33] oh, whoa, I goofed [18:33] LuisJa, Are the files on that same partition? [18:33] flan_suse: lsmod was not run as root, one moment please [18:33] DCGstudios: yes.. :( [18:33] mom_: change username to whatever your other user is called [18:34] Lasivian: lsmod doesn't need to be run as root. [18:34] JAGFin1, there is also an option to lock the mousepad when typing, it may be a combination of things that caused an error [18:34] Slart, xhost: bad hostname "otherusername" [18:34] Lasivian: lsmod lists currently loaded modules. You can check if it's loaded with: lsmod | grep ath9k [18:34] i dont know what happen with my os every time iam using lin4 mac theme and awn dock after that my system got crashed and after that iam not able to login into my x environment only text console works [18:34] flan_suse: gotcha, output: http://pastebin.com/NFnx940m [18:35] Hi. Can I set my ubuntu server up to act as a router and only give each client on the network a certain amount of Mbit/S? [18:35] Hello! Can anyone give me a link on GOOD tutorial, that describes in details how to install Ubuntu Server with RAID1 and LVM ? [18:35] that i can follow with 10.04 and everything will be ok [18:35] hello. I have deleted portions of video in pitivi. can someone tell me how to group the pieces together: link clips didn't help out much. [18:35] Lasivian: What about this: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [18:35] mom_: ok.. try just xhost + [18:35] dnivra get a video editor [18:35] LuisJa, Im not sure where to start, you should never be impatient enough to not wait for a filesystem check, esspeically after you didnt turn the computer off correctly... [18:36] flan_suse: wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [18:36] yo [18:36] tux_, You know, its not really a bad thing to work in the terminal.....

What about: sudo lspci -v [18:37] dnivra, gimme the link ill see if i can fig it out [18:37] DCGstudios: when you told me than if I was gonna reinstall, I should make different partitions, what you mean? [18:38] kev_: i luv to work in terminal but i need solution for that .i know linux is much stable than oter o.s........... [18:38] ciao [18:38] Whenever I do: "apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 45FFBBBA" I get keyserver timed out, is there a way to do this manually ? [18:38] Zelozelos, um "link" is something in PiTiVi-"Link together arbitrary clips" :). [18:38] Hi. Where i can find an updated list of IPv6-enabled ubuntu mirrors? [18:39] bodom: There is none. [18:39] Is there anyway I can repair my ubuntu with an ubuntu live cd, cause apparently I have no kernel? [18:39] tux_, Oh.....don't you get it? That was just a nice clean way to admit that I didn't know the answer! [18:39] flan_suse: output: http://pastebin.com/JFBzc7Ca [18:39] lengend, kernel panic? [18:39] kev_:thankzzzzzzzzz [18:39] Hey People! I cannot umount a device, because "device is busy". "fuser /mnt/point" returns without output. Any ideas? [18:39] Maybe reinstalling is the easiest option? [18:39] Slart, works now! [18:39] Slart, thanks [18:40] mom_: yay [18:40] Lasivian: lsmod | grep ath5k [18:40] bodom: However if you tell me which country you're in; I can possibly suggest some. [18:40] DCGstudios: " But i may consider doing partitions a little different this time if you plan on using linux for the long term." why? [18:40] LuisJa, Well, you can just create a 25GB partition for your system and your programs.. and use the rest of the hard drive in a seperate partition which is specified as your /home.. so that way you can just reinstall the entire system and never lose your configurations or files.. [18:40] dnivra, sorry i asumed that you was following a guide, as far as i know all you ahve 2 do is place the vids on the timeline, one after the other, then make the video [18:40] Slart, xhost + did [18:40] jpds: any country will be fine [18:40] flan_suse: nothing [18:40] Zelozelos, but a fatal flaw is the gap in between that I don't want to be a part of the video. [18:40] ciao [18:40] mom_: you're welcome... note that I have no idea if this is bad in some way [18:40] bodom: Well, for the US; there's: http://mirror.anl.gov/ [18:40] LuisJa, For example, i run a 20gb partiton for my programs and ubuntu itself.. then i have a 130GB partition where i store all my files, so any time an upgrade comes out i just do a fresh install and never deal with bugs. [18:41] Lasivian: sudo modprobe -rv ath9k === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [18:41] flan_suse: I have the ath5k blacklisted, I actually tried un-blacklisting it awhile ago and it caused massive dmesg conflicts [18:41] LuisJa, It just has many advantages for both failsafe reinstalls, and distro upgrades. [18:41] test34, yes i bought new ram, inserted it and kernel problems since yesterday [18:41] so I re-blacklisted it [18:41] Lasivian: Your chipset requires ath5k, not ath9k. [18:41] DCGstudios: pretty pretty interesting [18:41] Slart, well it said access control disabled, clients can connect from any host [18:41] ahh haaa, so ath9k isn't going to work in the first place? [18:42] Luisja, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [18:42] bodom: Europe → I would suggest one of (gb|nl|se).archive.ubuntu.com [18:42] Slart, so its probably just a security issue if anything [18:42] Lasivian: Nope. I didn't know what chipset you had, until you did lspci -v [18:42] DCGstudios: but there could not be a way to recover my files and then we do that? [18:42] DCGstudios: possible? [18:42] flan_suse: output: http://pastebin.com/RV2eFF3C [18:42] mom_: well.. there might be a firewall or two in the way.. and I'm not sure if the X server is listening on any external network interfaces to start with [18:42] jpds: gotta try them. Mirror.anl.gov has AAAA record but it's not responding [18:42] Lasivian: No need for madwifi, and ath9k is not even an option. [18:42] Anyone who got any knowledge about Quake 3 native installation? [18:42] How do reinstall grub? [18:42] dnivra, hmm, try and drag the 2nd vid to a sep timeline and overlap it a sec or so, i havent used that vid editor but usually you can do stuff like that, or try a transition w a quick fade or cut between vids [18:42] flan_suse: I had gone to madwifi for monitor mode, but found that it was nothing I needed [18:42] Lasivian: Force the module to load now: modprobe -v ath5k [18:43] After upgrading to 10.04 Gnome won't start automatically on start up - can anyone help please? [18:43] LuisJa, during that tutorial i linked you, you will backup your old files during the process. Its rare to lose files during the partitioning / backups. [18:43] Zelozelos, thanks. will try that out. [18:43] mom_: just thought I'd give you a heads up that I don't fully understand the implications of turning off authentication like we did just now [18:43] bodom: Oh, yeah; I think they have schuduled downtime at the moment? [18:43] Lasivian: After you load the ath5k module (no need to remove it from the blacklist yet), check to see if it detects your card: sudo ifconfig -a [18:43] Talu, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming/quake-3 [18:43] Slart, well switching users in ubuntu never works for me . . . using the upper right hand corner [18:44] jpds: nl.archive.ubuntu.com works like a charm instead :D [18:44] Slart, it does some weird resolution stuff [18:44] bodom: Other IP6 mirrors are (es|it|fi|no|ru).a.u.c. [18:44] And well, that's ones I know off the top of my head. [18:44] I get this error while trying to boot 2.6.31-21 generic: init: job_process.c:529: Unhandled error from job_process_spawn: Input/output error and then i get this line: init: Failed to spawn hostname main process: unable to execute: Input/output error [18:44] flan_suse: Output and resulting dmesg errors: http://pastebin.com/yHniCf9w [18:44] mom_: oh.. I've never actually tried that myself.. [18:44] jpds: You've been very helpful, thank you! [18:45] flan_suse: from ath5k load that is [18:45] bodom: Pleasure. === nawst2 is now known as mawst [18:45] Lasivian: Did you compile ath5k yourself? [18:45] flan_suse: I highly doubt I did [18:45] DCGstudios: So I recover my old files, and also make a different home partition, but this is inside the live cd? [18:45] Lasivian: If you're using Jaunty, how are you on kernel 2.6.30? Just curious. [18:46] ZykotickK9: Problem i have is that i cant install a special package i need. [18:46] flan_suse: I upgraded it to get around some issue at one point [18:46] DCGstudios: Thanks dude :) [18:46] DCGstudios: If i have some problems can I call you? [18:46] LuisJa, Yes sir, youll basiclly mount your drive from the live CD, then youll copy your entire /home folder to back it up.. [18:46] LuisJa, First you make the 2 seperate partitions, though. [18:46] Can anyone help me how i pass this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/434469/ [18:47] are there any restrictions if i want to use ubuntu packages with debian lenny? [18:47] DCGstudios: thanks, and sorry for wasting your time :) [18:47] LuisJa, Sure you can just PM me, Ill be here and i have much more expierence setting up partitions like that then i do with your original problem. [18:47] Lasivian: A couple things I can think of then: Install the linux-backports-modules-jaunty and then reboot (but first blacklist ath9k and ath_pci), or compile the ath5k driver from source. [18:48] flan_suse: k [18:48] LuisJa, For future reference, if you want to avoid file corruption in ubuntu and blue screens in windows, let it shut down properly =P [18:48] DCGstudios: LOLOLOL [18:48] Lasivian: I've never upgraded a kernel beyond the distro's supported kernels on Ubuntu, so I'm not sure what the caveats might be. [18:49] flan_suse: ahh.. well, the fact that the ath9k isn't going to work is a major step forward, heh [18:49] ciao [18:49] Lasivian: Before anything else, blacklist ath_pci and ath9k, UNblacklist ath5k, and go ahead and try installing the linux-backports-modules-jaunty package, reboot, and see if it works. [18:49] flan_suse: ok, doing that now. Can the ath9k blacklist be added to any existing blaclist file? [18:49] Lasivian: If not, you'll have to compile ath5k from source to be used with the 2.6.30 kernel. [18:50] Lasivian: Yeah, as long as the file name ends in .conf. Any line that reads blacklist modulename will blacklist that module. [18:50] What's that program called when you hit alt+F2 in gnome to run a command? [18:50] How can I run that from a term? [18:50] Lasivian: You can even create a file called: blacklist-custom.conf and add these two lines: blacklist ath_pci blacklist ath9k [18:51] Lasivian: Or just add those two lines at the bottom of blacklist.conf [18:51] Hi, how can I upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04 ? [18:51] Hey, Im very new to ubuntu and Im trying to install the ATI proprietary driver on 9.04. I've installed the graphics accelerator, but the graphics seem slow. [18:51] how do I do this? [18:51] flan_suse: thanks a bunch btw, I know just enough to really break stuff, lol [18:52] Lasivian: I've done 100x more embarassing things to my own Linux PCs than anyone else, hehe. [18:53] anyone read that? === kylezoa is now known as kylezoa_trackmee === monotoko is now known as Monotoko [18:53] DCGstudios: One question, do you think resizing sda1 to 25 Gbs will be enough for every program? and also they are now 2 unallocated partitions, can i join them === kylezoa_trackmee is now known as kylezoa_track [18:54] flan_suse: I have this nagging feeling that mac80211 is disabled.. [18:54] Lasivian: I might have to leave for a while. If you decide to try and compile from source, follow this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-get-atheros-ar5007eg-or-ar242x-wireless-cards-may-be-other-models-working-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [18:54] flan_suse: thanks [18:54] Lasivian: And the latest version of the source is the very first file in this list: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ (from May 15th) [18:54] LuisJa, 25gb will be plenty unless your running like 10+ commercial applications.. [18:54] Lasivian: Interesting. [18:55] I cannot keep my display resolution on KDE after every damn restart it gets back to default I'm so pissed off >_< ANY help seriously [18:55] LuisJa, You want to have 2 seperate ext3 or ext4 formatted partitions [18:55] could anyone tell me how to stream audio or video files in a playlist? [18:55] flan_suse: I can't say why exactly, maybe my years of windows troubleshooting is bleeding over, is there an easy way to check that? [18:55] Lasivian: If mac80211 is disabled? [18:56] flan_suse: yes [18:56] Lasivian: I think it loaded fine with ath9k, so it would also load with ath5k likewise. [18:56] DCGstudios: no no no wait, I just mean than they are no 2 unallocated partitions, 1 of 1mb and the other of 121 GBs, how I can join them? (if u meaned what i prefer, i heard ext4 is faster and better [18:56] they are now* [18:56] flan_suse: ok, thanks :) [18:57] LuisJa, Ohhhhh yea, dont even worry about that 1MB unallocated, thats a kind of fail-safe space for your hard drive.. i think mines like 2MB [18:57] Lasivian: And the pastebin you posted shows that mac80211 loaded. [18:57] LuisJa, ext4 IS faster and better, but im old school and never upgraded lol [18:57] DCGstudios: lol [18:57] hELLo? [18:57] Lasivian: I think it has something to do with running kernel 2.6.30 on Jaunty. [18:57] LuisJa, But yea youll want to make your 25GB partiton and set that to your / during your install [18:58] Hey, what's the support channel for Ubuntu One. Anyone know? [18:58] LuisJa, Then use all the rest for your /home partition (assuming your not trying to dual-boot or anything) [18:58] Whenever I do: "apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 45FFBBBA" I get keyserver timed out, is there a way to do this manually ? I am asking for manual way because I am behind a proxy so most probably problem is at my end. [18:58] Lademord: #ubuntuone [18:58] no dual booting since 2008 DCGstudios, windows is no worth in any way lol [18:59] LuisJa, except for games [18:59] LuisJa, I dual boot 3 linux distros :) [18:59] could anyone tell me how to stream audio or video files in a playlist? [18:59] thanks b3lorix [18:59] n0mad: I dont play pc games, but its true ;), DCGstudios: LOL === radar3d|AFK is now known as radar3d [18:59] flan_suse: ahh, i've debated upgrading to 10.04 [18:59] Lasivian: If this doesn't work, or if this isn't worth it, you might have better luck with Lucid. [19:00] flan_suse: no, i've compiled other things, this is worth a go :) [19:00] :( [19:00] LuisJa, Are you getting it formatted? generally takes forever [19:01] DCGstudios: I am resizing right now [19:01] what does this mean.....(EE) VESA kernel modesetting driver in use refuse to load, it comes with a prompt saying ubuntu running in low graphics mode [19:02] Lasivian: Good luck!

[19:03] DCGstudios: ok :) [19:03] would miro do that? [19:04] why isn't anything working for me? [19:04] i've installed any other distro over ubuntu. now it's grub loader is overwritten by a new grub loader of new distro. though i can the ubuntut option, but on entring it say's "load kernal first". ... i don't know what to do now..any help would be great.. :D [19:04] I haven't tried of miro..

[19:06] no no, I'm a linux noob, Just thought you'd have to be more clear on what you wanted to get help [19:06] ok [19:06] sahilsk: that's normal.. whatever you install last is what writes grub.. ubuttu will give you a link to fix it [19:06] hi [19:06] !grub2 > sahilsk [19:06] sahilsk, please see my private message [19:07] !hi > ginny [19:07] ginny, please see my private message [19:07] Uh, I'm on a 56k connection, with an external modem === ginny is now known as nicksmith1980 [19:07] wvdial works, but all I can access is a web browser [19:07] So, no, nothing definite.

[19:08] LOL [19:08] just stream [19:08] Vital{ReBorN}: he's talking aobut steam which is a game engine / connection that has recently been ported to OS X [19:09] "Anybody know if the speculations that Steam and some games based of the Valve Source engine are going to be ported to linux is true?" [19:09] Ah [19:09] I thought [19:09] You were talking to a different person [19:09] My fault, sorry [19:09] Then he asked about stream after that. [19:09] FoolishOwl: looks like it might be.. at least from what I've read.. might be a while though. [19:09] I have a dell d600 with a fresh install of 9.10. Lots of things are going wrong. Wireless and ethernet aren't working, I think because of drivers. It also freezes and I can't get any key combination to work. The most frustrating part is that Windows works fine. Ideas on where to start? [19:09] ah.. Then I wasn't paying attention when he said that [19:09] Either way, my fault.. Sorry [19:09] FoolishOwl, as far as I know its not confirmed (MacOS version is) [19:10] Well, gamers get whiny when developers announce a date and don't meet it. [19:10] Wine+Steam is a frequent enough combination that Valve must know about it.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:13] gixgix, this way if anything goes wrong or soemthing doesnt work right ...you can be sure it is lucid and not an upgrade issue [19:13] gixgix: ethernet should work though [19:13] mattwj2002, what's the issue? [19:13] Anyone with a workaround for the Server/Alternate images to work using USB, the whole "No common CD-ROM" issue during install? [19:13] I would like my 2 ext and my 1 ntfs drive to mount automatically [19:13] congrats with new version. In my opinion the most complete linuxOS so far [19:13] how do I do that? [19:14] exit [19:14] mattwj2002, for automounting ntfs try installing ntfs-config. The command would be "sudo apt-get install ntfs-config" [19:14] mattwj2002: edit /etc/fstab [19:14] mattwj2002: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html , there are quite a lot of guides out there you can find via google. [19:14] mattwj2002: are those partitions seperate from your root partition? (the ext partitions) and are the ext3 or 4 [19:14] yes they are [19:15] I saw that guide [19:15] !fstab | mattwj2002 you can also use this link [19:15] mattwj2002 you can also use this link: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:15] my only question was the last option.... should it be 0 0 , 1 1 or something different? [19:15] 0 [19:15] Hi everyone.. I just installed ubuntu and I am not getting any sound. Driver seems to be installed correctly and its not musted, but no sound. The speakers are hooked up right and did work in windows 7 just before I installed ubuntu so I am guessing its not the speakers... any suggestions? [19:15] mattwj2002: why didn't you say so? it's the fsck order, it's not hugely important. [19:16] pallgone: alright, i'll give 10.06 a try. [19:16] hoe can I restore gdm [19:16] mattwj2002, 0 2 in most cases. [19:16] 0 2? [19:16] what does that mean? [19:16] pallgone: 10.4 or 10.6? [19:16] gdm wouldnt autostart [19:16] kniahlz: double click the speaker icon to get the properties menu and then turn all sliders up.. see if that helps [19:16] mattwj2002: 'man fstab' gives you a nice description of every field === eps_ is now known as epssy [19:16] !sound | kniahlz [19:16] kniahlz: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

I'll try that [19:18] video driver is recognized correctly, but when I start xubuntu i see the console login then I have to do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [19:18] I'd have to look it up, but the 0 is for the 'dump' field, which is basically unused. The 2 is for the fsck field, which is 1 for your root partition, 2 for regular partitions, and 0 for things like cd-roms that aren't fsck'ed. [19:18] to enter into the DE [19:18] FoolishOwl: the last one is in what order things should be fsck:ed, so things aren't fsck:ed at the same time causing dish thrashing [19:18] Etere___: Then just add gdm to your rc.d's normal runlevel [19:18] okay makes sense [19:19] i'll try [19:19] Anyone who knows how to get the sound in Quake 3 to work?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [19:21] SwedeMike, not quite. The only valid options are 0, 1, and 2.

[19:22] that weird app appears to be the only program on linux which has neither a single config file nor any kind of startup parm [19:22] FoolishOwl: yeah, I see that, on older unix you needed to manually tell it what order, it wasn't intelligent enough to figure out what was on the same drive [19:22] Etere___: perhaps 3 [19:22] DCGstudios: rofl... ok [19:22] LuisJa, Your litterly talking about losing 1/10,000 of your drive space.

[20:03] Lengend: then i'd boot to live cd and look at the grub settings and maybe reinstall grub [20:03] ActionParsnip: this is a clean install, dmesg is telling me that "b43legacy/ucode4.fw" is not found [20:03] Black_Phantom: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-dx-team/une && sudo apt-get update && apt-get install unity [20:03] !Lubuntu | Black_Phantom [20:03] Black_Phantom: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [20:03] alright ActionParsnip, ty [20:03] Black_Phantom: insert sudo in the last [20:04] Causality: then find the file online and grab the file and put it in /lib/firmware [20:04] how to see file exist or no [20:04] ls -la is for.. [20:04] folder.. to file exist? [20:04] ActionParsnip: so my issue right now is why "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" doesnt work, with error "E: Couldn't find package b43-fwcutter" [20:04] mads-: Heh, nice: http://www.netup.biz/article-pppoe-server.php [20:04] Thanks! [20:04] greezmunkey: my computer crash [20:04] Causality: did you run: sudo apt-get update ,first? [20:04] crimsun, thats for Ubuntu Light or just installing the Unity interface ? [20:05] ActionParsnip: No, this is my first ever install of Ubuntu, like 30 mins ago. [20:05] greezmunkey:on windows its windows 7 [20:05] Black_Phantom: latter [20:05] Shawnrisk: does the wifi connect (even if not automagically) [20:05] mads-: I haven't read the entire thing, but I assume that bandwidth throttling would necessarily be part of the radius setup! [20:05] greezmunkey:they say to sahare with others windows 7 [20:05] alright thanks [20:05] ActionParsnip: yes but I have right click the icon, and click enable networking [20:06] It's the bandwith throttling I am looking for. So that's nice [20:06] rui: Can you see that shared printer from your ubox as I described? [20:06] Causality: I recommend using a wired connection and getting full updates. The driver for the wifi will also be offered. [20:06] ActionParsnip: already in progress :) [20:06] ActionParsnip: most of the time it does, sometimes it doesn't connect when I wakeup the laptop from sleep [20:06] Shawnrisk: I've seen this and I worked around by installing wicd [20:06] greenzmunkey:whatt is a ubox? [20:06] causality: Connect your computer via ethernet and go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [20:06] causality: what version are you using? [20:06] Hello world! [20:06] rui: sorry, ubuntu [20:06] crimsun, I will be able to choose it when I login or how exactly ? [20:07] how do I make my wireless card change to ad-hoc mode? [20:07] Shawnrisk: you may need a wakeup script to remove the driver module, the reload it to wake up the adapter [20:07] dominicdinada: version of what, ubuntu? if so 10.04, whatever is on the site today. [20:07] Black_Phantom: yes, you can choose the desired session at the gdm greeter [20:07] greezmunkey:yes i can see the windows network [20:07] great [20:07] thanks again [20:07] ActionParsnip: I should install wicd? [20:07] rui: under that choose windows printer via Samba [20:08] rui: go for the low hanging fruit, and select browse - see if it finds that machine you shared it on. [20:08] Tranny is? [20:08] * causality reboots and hopes for the best [20:08] Causality: sweet. Updates fix lots of stuff. Hopefully the system will also sort out the wifi for you too :) [20:08] ActionParsnip: i'm not new to unix, but i'm typically not a fan of lunix but win7 was too slow on this laptop, so i thought i'd give it a chance. [20:08] Tranny is? [20:08] Doofy: a chick with a penis ;) [20:09] rui: go to System>Administration>Printing, choose add, network printer, printer via SAMBA [20:09] In ubuntu server edition from terminal how I can switch between process [20:09] ActionParsnip: do you have a wakeup script? [20:09] greezmunkey:ok im there [20:09] ne7work: you can send a process to the background if that's what you mean [20:09] Causality: lxde is slick and quick :) [20:09] !wifi [20:09] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:09] ActionParsnip: i prefer things that just work and this is being flakey so far. [20:09] ne7work: something like & will run it in the background.. so you can use the terminal while it's running [20:10] ne7work: the clunky way is to send stuff to background/foreground, etc. You might be interested in GNU Screen, which allows you to have a number of virtual terminals open [20:10] Slart and how? [20:10] ActionParsnip: video support isn't perfect. [20:10] Shawnrisk: no as I can't be bothered with the heartache that hibernate brings. There are samples around though [20:10] greezmunkey :i see the windows WORKGROUP [20:10] rui: see if it locates the laptop [20:10] Causality: depends on chip. Nvidia support is as good as windows [20:10] ne7work: there's also "screen" and the different TTY's.. try ALT+F1, ALT+F2 and so on for all the running TTYS [20:10] How do I enable two 8400GS for 3 monitors in 10.04 with Nouveau? [20:10] ActionParsnip you went [20:10] is there a program that can stream any GStreamer-compatible streams to a v4l device? (yes, I'm obsessed with streams :P) [20:10] ActionParsnip: this is an ibm thinkpad x30 [20:10] Doofy: went where [20:10] ActionParsnip: should I install wicd? [20:11] hi all, i need to enable multiverse in ubuntu via the commandline, might anyone know how to do that? [20:11] causality: it is actually pretty easy. :P well the fw for your broadcom [20:11] Causalityh: saying "video support" is real vague. Some chips are very supported [20:11] greezmunkey :they locate but still with the working pointer [20:11] Hey all! How do I create a user that won't show up on the login screen picker? [20:11] ActionParsnip: wifi is now working, thanks [20:11] Shawnrisk: sure. I think its great. Its also DE independant [20:11] rui: like it's looking? [20:11] hi all, i need to enable multiverse in ubuntu via the commandline, might anyone know how to do that? [20:11] Causality: sweet. Wtg! [20:11] ne7work: ctrl-z (pause) then `jobs` then bg # (where # is the job number) and fg # (again, where # is the job number) [20:11] hello, I wanted to install ubuntu 10 today with usb it worked but I closed the notebook during the process and it was gone into sleep mode, after that the setup crashed and I had to restart, now there is only .. grub rescue.. WTF!?! [20:12] ActionParsnip: sorry DE? [20:12] Guysoft22: edit /etc/apt/sources.list [20:12] ActionParsnip Went you asshole [20:12] ne7work: But again, screen is much more friendly if you intend to do this often: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [20:12] Shawnrisk: desktop enviroment (kde, gnome, lxde etc) [20:12] !language | Doofy [20:12] Doofy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[20:12] jukkaar: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [20:12] Shawnrisk: np man [20:12] i just upgraded from karmic to lucid.. and now everytime i boot i can't see a boot screen or boot logo instead i see a tiny distorted text at the top of my screen which is impossible to read.. help please [20:12] guysoft22: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine#Adding the Universe and Multiverse Repositories [20:13] greezmunkey:a Share WORKGROUP and comment BARBARA-PC, and in the begining it shows a PLus and now the plus is gone [20:13] mataks: i'm having the same issue! please help [20:13] if I type help nothing works [20:13] Shawnrisk: wicd doesn't support 3G so if you use 3G keep network manager. Wicd will also automagically remove network manager for you. Just reboot adnd config your connection [20:14] ActionParsnip: there is no way to fix this with network manager? [20:14] !swap > duffydack [20:14] duffydack, please see my private message [20:14] rui: ok, no problem - you can see that far, so it will probably work. What is the sharename of the printer on the laptop? [20:14] Guys!!! [20:14] How are you? [20:14] jukkaar: for the second time read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD\ [20:14] Doofy: do you have a support question? [20:14] Slart: he's a troll [20:14] Doofy: this it the ubuntu support channel.. there's #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics [20:14] cowguru2000: Dont be rude [20:15] Shawnrisk: I've not succeeded personally. It seems to happen when folks set a keyring password and I get round by using wicd which just connects [20:15] greezmunkey:\\BARBARA-PC\Lexmark1 [20:15] so I have to read 30 minutes to get it working ?! [20:15] sudo -> unknown command [20:15] greezmunkey: you can also access printer by ip also [20:15] ActionParsnip: I will try this [20:15] ActionParsnip: I have another problem, which is when I wakeup from sleep the laptop, the mouse cursor is invisible but I can still move this. The only way to fix this is by going ctrl+alt+f1 and back ctrl+alt+f7. How do I fix this without doing that? [20:15] Flannel: How was I being rude? all slart has contributed here is profanity [20:16] No one knows Russian language? [20:16] ActionParsnip, i am talking to a computer illiterate person that i can only send commands to the terminal via gmail.. so edit will not help [20:16] hi, if i have a router with firewall disabled, and 2 PCs...if i install vncserver and run it, i can link from the external network to the vncserver or should i do port mapping?? please answer a moment [20:16] rui: ok, so put BARBARA-PC\Lexmark1 in the smb printer box, see wghat it does.

And if you're looking to chat, again, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:16] ActionParsnip: I use suspend not hibernate [20:16] hello I have a problem since 10.4: if I plug in my earphones, the laptop speakers didn't mute [20:16] Shawnrisk: same pain [20:17] ActionParsnip: what should I do instead? [20:17] no [20:17] dominicdinada: we haven't had to go there yet, the shared printer is on a box that will get it's ip via dhcp, so trying smb for now. [20:17] Shawnrisk: imho not worth it [20:17] ActionParsnip, their distro died from a karmic upgrade, i got them booted with internet to a livecd, now i need to get x11vnc working so i can vnc to them and fix the problem, their initrd is not working (some mountall symbol error) [20:17] only grub rescue appears and error:file not found over it [20:17] Shawnrisk: use your workaround and log a bug. Maybe there's already a bug logged and a fix [20:17] jukkaar: can you boot from the live drive and get into sudo [20:17] greezmunkey:he ask for drivers to the printer to choose [20:17] How do I install X 1.7.x or 1.8.x un Ubuntu 9.04? xorg-edgers only provides 1.6.3.

I recommend you to do a fresh install... [20:18] rui: that's good so far, here's that hard part - see if there is a driver installed that works for *any* lexmark, you may have to try more than one, if your's isn't specifically listed.

[20:20] Beyecixramd, how? [20:20] My computer just upgraded stuff. E.g., firefox was upgraded to "Namoroka-pre". Is this part of an official upgrade or was this due to a 3rd part ppa? [20:20] mataks: copy your /home folder to an external drive, and when reinstalling, once in the desktop, copy that folder back in [20:21] is there a website which contains all the manuals ubuntu users can get in Terminal via "man "? [20:21] mataks: next time, please make a separate /home partition with about 90% of your disk space in order to avoid losing data or having to move settings and such... [20:21] Gryllida, help.ubuntu.com :/ [20:21] Beyecixramd, ok thank. i may try that in the future [20:21] Gryllida: and http://linux.die.net/man/ [20:21] Gryllida: there are many sites on the net with man pages.. I don't know of one that has ubuntu specific pages though.. but they are mostly the same regardless of distro [20:21] Beyecixramd, i'd suggest using lvm instead of 90% /home [20:21] anyone have any experience with ad-hoc mode and the ath5k or madwifi drivers? [20:21] that's just me tho :) [20:22] Hello. Is there some way to set the system to not ask for a password after I resume the computer from Sleep mode?

Can I just use the lucid version of xorg-edgers, or will I break things? [20:23] Flannel, that's right what I was looking for [20:23] PeterNL, it will break things [20:23] PeterNL, why not upgrade to lucid ? [20:23] sh1ny: no, i mean, why lvm? i find having a /boot a / and a /home partition is enough [20:24] sh1ny: I don't have the time/space to do that. [20:24] hi [20:24] Beyecixramd, because when you advised him to use 90% for home, he will end up pretty badly depending on the size of his disks and the amount of software he installs [20:24] hello, how can i know who is in one channel without coming into that channel?

So how do I put 9.04 on steroids? :D [20:25] maliii [20:25] rocket161 how is that?? [20:25] PeterNL, well there isn't an easy way to install the xorg 1.7 on 9.04, not as far as i know :( [20:25] sh1ny: hmm... LVM allows you to dynamically set up partition sizes? didn't know that..

I dont know what happened it was working few days ago [20:32] PeterNL, Lost my comp twice this year, one time BEFORE lucid and one time AFTER that :F, had to reinstall my windows both times and 9.10 at first then 10.04 once again [20:32] BlueEagle, ugh.. I got an error "Error starting job: Failed to execute child process. "cryptsetup" (No such file or directory)" [20:32] olskolirc: but perhaps i could say, yes, it's an entire firefox package [20:32] Cybe-life ? [20:32] rui: look here, there are some links for lexmark drivers here: http://www.linux.com/learn/answers/2-drivers/379-lexmark-2600-printer-does-not-work-on-ubuntu-910-any-suggestions [20:32] for all who tried to guess a) a language and b) a language code for ubottu: please check if your code is successful in a private window with ubottu (try /msg ubottu !bg in this case) [20:33] Bye all! [20:33] where is defined what should be started as display manager (or asked differently: where do I define that my X programm should be started directly after boot, w/o a display and a a window manager...)? [20:33] dominicdinada: hello, what's up? [20:33] Lasivian: Are you using network manager? [20:33] bye PeterNL [20:33] please someone help me to configure proftpd? [20:33] ne7work, fire up ? [20:33] anyone use Mac keyboards here? [20:33] cowguru2000: http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/docs/2.14/overview.html Section 2.9 goes into detail about it, including a way you can specify the users to show up in the face browser [20:33] ne7work, what's the problem with proftpd ? [20:33] greezmunkey: yeah, just realized that, I should shutoff the wireless there [20:33] onetinsoldier: to mount a /media/meinna drive i just need to add /media/meinna in the fstab right ? [20:33] Flannel: thank you very much! [20:33] ne7work: What's your use-case for FTP? [20:34] Flannel, i was first ! :P [20:34] Flannel what? [20:34] Lasivian: or, you can add the wireless interface to /etc/network/interfaces, then restart networking - network manager will then ignore it. [20:34] ne7work, explain the problem you have configuring proftpd [20:34] duffydack: Seems you're missing cryptsetup. [20:34] onetinsoldier: i mean this is mounting in the fstab at start but that is how to add it right [20:34] BlueEagle, guess it needs installing (it really shouldnt offer the option if its not installed.. ) [20:34] ne7work: Are you only going to be using it for personal use? or is this a production FTP server? or what? [20:34] i install proftpd on ubuntu server edition and now how to use it? [20:34] dominicdinada: i haven't configured an fstab in a very long time [20:34] ne7work, it just works when you install it [20:35] ne7work, using the system users and their home directories [20:35] dominicdinada: there's more than just one entry one a line though [20:35] sh1ny what username and password to use? [20:35] onetinsoldier: i have read the how tos but it is kinda jibberish and figured i would get a simple answer [20:35] what are all those floodbots anyway? [20:35] sh1ny how to set directory [20:35] ne7work, the ones you log in with [20:35] Beyecixramd: protecting the channel from floods [20:35] wtf [20:35] how? [20:35] ne7work, it uses your home directory [20:35] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and I now get GRUB Error 17 and can't boot into anything but a LiveCD now. =/ [20:35] dominicdinada: why more than one? [20:35] ne7work: you might get more answers in #ubuntu-server [20:35] Hello folks. I'm hoping that somebody can help me with my issue in connecting my Sony Vaio laptop to my WPA secured network. Laptop sees the network just fine and will connect it if I change it to no encryption but for obvious reasons I don't want to leave it that way. If I try and connect it just keeps prompting for my password over and over again. This is on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, any ideas? [20:35] ne7work, proftpd by default uses the system users and password [20:35] !wtf | ne7work [20:35] ne7work: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:36] dafreak: no more than 3 lines for a question, please, it's very confusing [20:36] guntbert: Don't be obtuse, he's getting help here just fine. [20:36] Beyecixramd: because mass floods can take bots offline so it is a redundant protection [20:36] dominicdinada: hmmm wow... [20:36] hi, i just download ATI's update by synaptic and i can't set my graphic as EXTRA ? Why [20:36] Condoulo: Do you have more than one hard drive? [20:36] duffydack: I would agree that it should automatically staisfy any dependencies if possible. Ie. automatically install cryptsetup instead of throwing an error. [20:36] Beyecixramd not with 9.10, since 10.4 I have the problem with the earphones, i can't find any option to mute them [20:36] dominicdinada: but that's like a DDoS, right? you can't do that with a single computer [20:36] hi, quick question. where is the configuration options for the visual effects? i want to set up the cube [20:36] Jordan_U: I have 3 SATA HDDs hooked up. 2 with NTFS (one for WIndows, one for storage), and the other w/ EXT4/SWAP. [20:36] ne7work: What sh1ny is trying to say isthat you just fire up your FTP client, and log in with your normal users. === petr_ is now known as Guest76947 [20:37] Ok short version. Ubuntu 10.04, Sony Vaio laptop, will not connect to WPA secured network but will connect to unencrypted. Ideas? [20:37] ne7work, use the username and password with which you log in into the server ( like from ssh from example or in the console ) [20:37] dafreak: you can try to narrow down the cause, in a terminal: tail -f /var/log/syslog - see what it is failing on. [20:37] Beyecixramd: it is better seeing it scroll floodbots than script kiddies or idiots take control of the channel with spam and flood users offline [20:37] sh1ny where i create usernames and passwords for login with ftp client? [20:37] Flannel: I beg your pardon? what is your issue? don't call me names please [20:37] datroubler: hmmm the PulseAudio panel should give you the option to automute the speakers [20:37] Condoulo: Then grub was installed to a different drive than the one you are booting from, try changing the boot order [20:37] ne7work, use "adduser" in the command line [20:37] dominicdinada: doubtless, yes [20:37] Beyecixramd: you can do it with one computer there is war scripts that makes tons of users that join and flood and take down channels [20:37] AhmedBH: i'll ask the obvious question... did you reboot after installing it? [20:38] sh1ny for proftpd [20:38] Beyecixramd: have I to install it? [20:38] not for linux [20:38] ne7work, as i said [20:38] Yes actually did... [20:38] dafreak: try installing the wpasupplicant package or the wpagui.. haven't tried them myself, but maybe that'll help [20:38] ne7work, Proftpd uses the SYSTEM users [20:38] ne7work, use the username and password that you use to log in into the server [20:38] Beyecixramd: how can i launch pulse audio? [20:38] AhmedBH: ok, roger. what kind of video card do you have? [20:39] rangua: system>preference>appearance visual effects tab though u better install compiz config settings manager [20:39] I have ATI's delicated and it was working damn fine @_@ [20:39] sh1ny and how i can choose directory /var/www ? [20:39] dominicdinada: bah... stupid script kiddies... [20:39] thanks. i was actually looking for the compiz config manager [20:39] AhmedBH: try renaming the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and then running the following command... sudo aitconfig --initial [20:39] can anyone explain me where the hell someone see fn key in this keyboard https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard ? [20:39] just a second [20:39] /var/www is for the webserver :/ [20:39] ne7work, by default you are not locked to your home directory, you can just navigate to /var/www [20:39] datroubler: PulseAudio is the system Ubuntu uses for playing sound. just like DirectSound in Windows, for games. To launch its settings panel click the speaker icon in the upper left corner of your screen [20:39] ne7work, or you can set the homedirectory of the user to /var/www [20:40] because wiki is referring to this and i don't see it and i don't see it on mine [20:40] AhmedBH: fi you do that, then you'll need to restart X windows afterwards [20:40] datroubler: or just go to System > Settings > Audio or something similar [20:40] if* [20:40] sandking: next to home [20:40] BlueEagle, made it, ext4 and encrypted. now when i plug it in to test, and put in password i get "Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited with exit code 239: Device udisks-luks-uuid-596eb203-6f4b-4326-8b3a-099f05f8ae8d-uid1000 already exists." a file there does exist.. this is bothersome. [20:40] Flannel: thank you eagle eye!!! :] [20:40] sandking: (where insert would be on a regular keyboard) [20:40] Beyecixramd: ok but i cant find this option [20:40] All the While!!!! [20:40] wish all and more!!! and lastly wanted to ask (what do you now time?) [20:40] theres nothing like that in that folder [20:41] Hi, the fan on my computer goes at full speed in Ubuntu and is very noisy. How can I get it to slow down? [20:41] AhmedBH: ok, then run that command and restart X Windows [20:41] Flannel: I got this keyboard about 4 months and i didn't saw it as on laptop keyboards fn key is next to ctrl! [20:41] proxy! apt is not working behind proxy. I have set the http_proxy variable still I am getting error 407 proxy authentication required. [20:41] datroubler: try to play with the output settings, maybe there you have a way to mute it or not, otherwise, i don't know [20:41] sudo aitconfig --initial ? [20:41] Flannel: so really thank you [20:41] AhmedBH: yes [20:41] as # ? [20:41] sudo = root [20:42] okay just a second [20:42] I'm trying to reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source, but it is in a restricted repository. I add the pointer to the restricted repository, but still no go. So, can someone tell me what repository I need to add to sources.list? I'm using 9.04. [20:42] Beyecixramd: i can only chose between HDMI and normal output [20:42] sudo: aitconfig: command not found [20:42] aitconfig != aticonfig [20:42] 23: 42 in Russia [20:42] Scott_1: that could be an ACPI problem. And if it's that, it can't be easily solved because of Microsoft vendors lock-ins [20:42] onetinsoldier: sudo = run as root... sudo -i take root :) [20:42] sh1ny i have ftp user created when i install proftpd [20:42] Oh, I see. [20:42] i did but same result sudo: aitconfig: command not found [20:42] how to change password of this user? [20:43] AhmedBH: perhaps i made a typo as pointed out be sh1ny ... aticonfig [20:43] datroubler: no idea then, sorry. Try asking in the Ubuntu Forums, posting screenshots of your audio settins and such [20:43] greezmunkey: still not connecting when I use iwconfig to force a connection [20:43] ne7work, this one is for the daemon to run, you can't log in with it [20:43] The fan gets very annoying after a while, but in Windows it slows down to a gentle hum. [20:43] Lasivian: are you using WEP ? [20:43] dominicdinada: if you have root prompt, then you don't need the sudo [20:43] sh1ny what's the password for ftp user [20:43] No supported adapters detected [20:43] @_@ [20:43] dominicdinada: no security [20:43] Hi can anyone help me with installing java on Karmic plse? [20:43] Lasivian: what command did you issue? [20:43] Beyecixramd: ok thanks [20:43] Flannel, i give up >.> [20:43] Scott_1: what manufacturer is your PC? [20:44] Lasivian: sudo dhcp ??? ??? [20:44] Now what [20:44] Asus I believe [20:44] greezmunkey" iwconfig wlan0 essid "LasivianWiFi" [20:44] greezmunkey: It looks like the reason it's failing is a wpa_supplicant: Association request to the driver failed [20:44] AhmedBH: i don't know [20:44] Scott_1: did it come with Windows Vista? [20:44] is there a program that can stream any GStreamer-compatible streams to a v4l device? [20:44] iwconfig shows ad-hoc mode, network manager has wifi disabled which I assume is just in Gnome [20:44] Lasivian: did you tell it what mode you need? [20:44] ne7work: The credentials (user/password) for logging in via FTP are the same as the credentials that you would use if you were logging in from a keyboard at the machine [20:44] AhmedBH: what does... lshw -C display ...show? [20:44] Lasivian: Ah, ok. [20:45] Beyecixramd: Yes. [20:45] Beyecixramd, it's Asus M2N-SLI AM2 [20:45] shows about printing and html xml etc [20:45] just a minute [20:45] Scott_1: are you sure it's the mainboard/cpu fan and not the GPU(Graphic card) fan? btw, is it a desktop? [20:46] i just downloaded a driver and i am sure it will work :) should i restat X or my PC ? [20:46] Beyecixramd: I'm not sure where the noise comes from exactly to be honest. It is a desktop. [20:46] AhmedBH: try restarting X, if not, your entire PC [20:47] BRB [20:47] Scott_1: could you try to put the mouse behind the graphics card in windows and linux to find out if its a GPU problem? [20:47] Hey! How can I compress / .rar a 6GB video into parts so i can get it to fit on a FAT harddrive (4gb max files size) ?? [20:47] Lasivian: being that what you are trying to do is apparantly incmpatible with network manager, i would add the wifi interface to /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking and try again. It *may* work. Check 'man interfaces' for details. [20:47] Scott_1: nVidia recently had problems with fans on their GPUs, so... [20:47] I'm sure the wireless network is good, my other netbook connects just fine with a different chipset [20:48] in Gnome and without any iwconfig commands [20:48] JayX: rar -v[k|b|f] [20:48] Scott_1: did i say mouse? god.. i meant hand [20:48] Lasivian: I though you wanted ad-hoc mode, is there an access point available? [20:49] Yeah, I was wondering what you meant. [20:49] SwedeMike, do i need to have anything installed? [20:49] :) [20:49] hi all, have a problemm with shutdown PC on ubuntu 9. HDD, Video, devices are shutdown, but cooler on proc still working, and power lite on box working.. [20:49] JayX: yes, you have to install rar [20:49] Scott_1: i have lost my mind somewhere... Australia i guess [20:49] SwedeMike, sudo apt-get install rar ???? [20:50] Beyecixramd, I just opened the hardware options and a message popped up to say the nvidia graphics driver isn't installed. [20:50] JayX: "apt-cache search rar" will give you the package name. [20:50] Maybe installing them will fix the problem... [20:50] JayX: hm, that gave a lot of packages. [20:50] Scott_1: maybe that's the problem, try to install it and let me know the results :) [20:50] !rar [20:50] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [20:50] greezmunkey: So with that error message do I need to try and enable debugging on the ipw2200 driver that's loaded for my wireless NIC? [20:50] greezmunkey: but that's hardcoding wifi to a specific access point, right? [20:50] any Ideas?... [20:51] SwedeMike, i see :S... thats alot of packages [20:51] JayX: so yes, apt-get install rar [20:51] Beyecixramd, downloading now [20:51] dafreak: check back a few pages, there was a suggestion regarding downloading wpasupplicant something or another... [20:51] Scott_1: do you have Ubuntu 10.04? [20:51] ubuntu is still userunfriendly nerd os [20:51] Beyecixramd, 9.10 [20:52] SwedeMike, Urg... a few "packages have unmet dependencies" :S what does that mean? [20:52] JayX: I have no idea. google for it. [20:52] jukkaar is still userunfriendly troll :) [20:52] greezmunkey: I Don't see anything like that in the chatlog between my reply & you just stating it but I'll look on synaptic and see what I can find [20:52] is there something similar to cheat engine on Ubuntu [20:52] Scott_1: i encourage you to update (but do a clean install) [20:52] Anonymous_: nope [20:53] SwedeMike, ok.. and as for the " rar -v[k|b|f] " is how large i want each part to be made into?? in megabites? [20:53] Lasivian: not necessarily, if you have an access point, use it. Network manager can easily handle that for you. Do this. Undo what you did in iwconfig, and then in network manager set up for your access point. You can add other access points (networks) later as you need them. [20:53] JayX: man rar [20:53] Beyecixramd, what's better about 10.04? [20:53] dafreak: I'll page back and find it... [20:53] Anonymous_: I think there could be .. if someone wanted to do it.. but afaik noone has wanted it bad enough to write it [20:53] Scott_1: nouveau, for example, it's a new open source driver for nVidia :) [20:53] SwedeMike, thanks :D [20:53] JayX: you can use whatever prefix you are most comfortable with. [20:54] Scott_1: apart from faster startup times, and improved speed [20:54] !info scanmem [20:54] Scott_1: but it's all up to you, obviously :) [20:54] scanmem (source: scanmem): Program to locate and modify a variable in a running process. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.07-8 (lucid), package size 26 kB, installed size 104 kB [20:54] I don't really use my graphics card at all. [20:54] getting some weird "load average" numbers using Ubuntu 10.04, can someone help me diagnose? [20:54] Anonymous_: and just because I said that I found something =).. haven't tried it though but there it is ^^^ [20:55] GoremanX: what's weird about them? [20:55] greezmunkey: added it to interfaces but i'm still seeing no connection when telling it to connect from commandline [20:55] I have Ubuntu 10.04 setup as a test web hosting server that I'm evaluating for migrating our sites to. Our current server is Ubuntu 9.10. But this new server, while sitting idle, is giving me some strange load numbers (when I check "uptime"): load average: 0.76, 0.70, 0.66. The old 9.10 server never shows numbers that high [20:55] dafreak: --> rangua> dafreak: try installing the wpasupplicant package or the wpagui.. haven't tried them myself, but maybe that'll help [20:55] Beyecixramd, I'm happy with the startup times / speed I currently have. I was quite pleased with the new features last time I upgraded Ubuntu so I might give it a whirl in the future. [20:56] it's a single core system [20:56] greezmunkey: Synaptic already shows that wpasupplicant is installed, version 0.6.9-3, I'll try installing wpagui though [20:56] hi everyone? [20:56] hello [20:56] how can i join xubuntu room? i'm so new at this [20:57] try /join #xubuntu [20:57] Lasivian: Here's the thing - you asked for ad-hoc support, not plain jane wifi with access points. Put your interfaces file back, and restart networking. iow, clear all that out - you'll be using network namager instead! [20:57] ok, done [20:57] I just want some sign it can do what i'm asking any which way, heh [20:58] The Ubuntu 'suspend' option doesn't work on my PC. [20:58] Lasivian: it's all good! [20:58] i've gone over the other netbook with a different wireless card and it works fine [20:58] greezmunkey:i pass on the lexmark site and donwload the drivers for linux but there is a n error , what they have is for Red Hat [20:58] Witam [20:58] how can I verify that there is no PHP running on ubuntu? [20:58] !pl | cinoski [20:58] cinoski: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [20:58] Lasivian: in network manager, is there an "auto {essid}" connection listed? [20:59] Lasivian: I should say in the wireless tab. [20:59] for the ad-hoc i'm trying to connect to? [20:59] ok, driver installed, back in a bit [21:00] Lasivian: no, ad-hoc is for connecting to another pc with a wifi card in it, not access point. [21:00] is it possible to disable the auto adjustment of the microphone input volume, in lucid? [21:00] Lasivian: ad-hoc vs. access point network: completely differant. [21:01] yes, but still the network manager is able to see the ad-hoc device on my other netbook === RambJoe1 is now known as RambJoe [21:02] Holy crap, it worked! [21:02] I had to create it from scratch on the ath5k netbook because it doesn't se eit at all [21:02] Beyecixramd: it worked, thanks so much! [21:02] Lasivian: hmmm, that may be, but only because that netbook has ad-hoc mode set. Is there a shared access point both pc can connect to? [21:02] greezmunkey: yes [21:02] Can Someone Help me INstall MTGO through winetricks? [21:03] Scott__1: so it was a GPU problem :) im glad to see it worked [21:03] greezmunkey:can you help me with another problem, i have aMSN and have difficult to conect the web cam to speak with MSN messenger on windows can you helpe me [21:03] Lasivian: there you go, use that! [21:03] greezmunkey: currently there is, i'm trying to set it up to use my cellphone when we aren't here [21:03] I thought you were asking for troubleshooting purposes [21:03] rui: that's above my paygrade - I don't do sound or social networking. [21:03] does anybody have HP DV series here ? [21:03] ah ok [21:03] greezmunkey: ok [21:04] I didn't think it had done anything but just before the logon screen opened the horrible *WHIRRRR* changed to a hummmm :) [21:04] [18566.584863] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e001 ' to make it known. [21:04] [18580.492507] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd9 on isa0060/serio0). [21:05] Ooh, and the driver does some graphic stuff as well. It has some cool vista like animations when I alt+tab [21:05] ^^ what are these , i see them alot in me dmseg, are they related to my MS wireless keyboard? is that something i need to fix [21:05] greezmunkey:i know now that Lexmark are doing Printers with Tux sign for Linux, Thanks to you [21:06] can anyone help me , i have aMSN and have difficult to connect the web cam to speak with MSN messenger on windows [21:06] Does anyone know if there's a setting in bash to change it to show **** for passwords, instead of just not echoing anything at all? (I have a lot of dumb users who freak out when NOTHING shows up as they type) [21:06] greezmunkey: I tried using wpa_gui but it is not seeing my wireless network card (or any card for that matter), no errors in the syslog about it either [21:06] hey i need help [21:07] !ask [21:07] 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. :-) [21:07] whenever i unplug my laptop charger ubuntu freezes and i cant start ubuntu without my laptop charger being plugged in [21:07] Can Someone Help me Install MTGOIII_Helper.exe with winetricks? [21:08] Lasivian: so, you don't want to use the AP then - but you case seems to be that you can't run in ad-hoc mode with your adapter. By definition you are back to the AP. [21:08] rui: check messenger's help site.. you might need to open ports to your machine on your router [21:08] should i use reiserFs for tmp directory ? [21:08] zoidfarb: i seriously doubt it. i think you'd have to change the source code in bash to do that, then recompile it and install your changed version [21:08] c0ntr0lpunk, that sounds like a problem with ACPI events [21:09] ok zoid do u know how to fix? [21:09] Izinucs:thank you [21:09] c0ntr0lpunk, sorry, but ACPI depends a lot on your particular bios/hardware. I would suggest googling for something like "ACPI Ubuntu" [21:10] ok [21:11] greezmunkey: yes, and i'm trying to figure out if it's the driver or the hardware which refuses to use the ad-hoc network [21:11] every time my computer starts up, google chrome starts up, and its not selected in startup programs. how do i fix this?

[21:24] Jenni0: "sudo reboot" to reboot.. you might have to press escape when the machine boots to see the grub menu (it should look something like this http://blog.hectorbenitez.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/grub.png ) then select the recovery mode.. you'll get another menu after a while where you can choose "root shell" or "root shell with networking", select the one you want and you'll get a command line where you're already root (so no sudo needed) [21:24] calibre: I asked if you did an upgrade from 9.10?

[21:25] Slart: How can I sudo reboot if I don't have sudo? [21:25] it is a tar.gz file, but when i extract it, it has several different tar.gz files in it [21:25] todd_: i don't know what's wrong there. it crashes the moment you click on the 'install' button? [21:26] Izinucs: No. [21:26] Izinucs: How do i check.

[21:27] calibre: check that.. right mouse click the top bar and "Add".. in the new box look for system monitor and double click it.. a new icon will appear in the upper bar. click that once and it will open.. check "System" and click the CPU% column label to sort that column.. see if something is taking about 50% of your cpu [21:27] todd_: ahh, ok. so it just doesn't like the file. i see [21:27] back [21:28] actually [21:28] Jenni0: but perhaps someone else in the channel knows.. but mention that you're on a ssh link to a remote computer and can't reboot.. otherwise they'll just tell you the same thing I did [21:28] yeah. i have had that before, and there was a way that i could go through the terminal and install it that way [21:28] onetinsoldier: i tried but i uninstall most of the drivers which should i download ? to make that ATI graphic card working ? [21:28] do you know a method like that? [21:28] todd_: well, you can unpack the file and see what is has in it. normally, the installer unpacks it to --> ~/.themes [21:28] I'm on a SSH session to a Ubuntu server and removed myself from /etc/sudoers by mistake. How can I solve this? [21:30] todd_: since this theme pack come with multiple themes and icon themes, you might need to install them separately or by hand... something like that === maciek_ is now known as Guest2029 [21:30] anyone here know if there is a netbook unity channel specific for that? === vegarede is now known as f42010 [21:30] Anyone here ?

[21:53] what nmap options should i have to scan all ports of an ip and tell me which are open, i wanna check mine :) [21:53] no Slart and thanks [21:53] hello, i installed ubuntu 10.4 today. before i arranged partitions on my hd. after installation of ubuntu it was not possilbe to start windows. hd before c: 400mb (windows vista) d: 200mb (just data) s: 400mb(windows 7). hd now ubuntu 100mb d:500mb s:400mb. it seems the bootloader was on c: and is now gone. i tried system rescue cd, super grub disk and windows 7 rescue tools, but i didnt get it work. how can i fix that? [21:53] beyecixramd sure why not mac is a unix based system [21:54] Jenni0: Hold down Shift while GRUB loads? [21:54] oCean_: as in I could have like more than one site, and apache would point to different folders per site? [21:54] Jenni0: did you install desktop on top of the server install.. or did you take a desktop install and turn it into a server? [21:54] does anyone know what happened to thelastripper, doesnt last.fm "support" the ripper anymore?, i got these error message: [System.Net.WebException: Error getting response stream (ReadDone2): ReceiveFailure ---> System.Exception: at System.Net.WebConnection.HandleError(WebExceptionStatus st, System.Exception e, System.String where)] [21:54] cant check loopback interface through nmap [21:54] nothingnow: well, Steam won't be free... so the portability is not confirmed. in BSD, probably, running it as it was a standard Linux app... but what about OpenSolaris, for instance? [21:54] God damn! [21:54] No valid romset found for a file that gngeo supports [21:54] Something is not right here I feel [21:54] god damn indeed [21:54] Izinucs: whatever the default ubuntu server is ;) [21:55] Lcawte: indeed. Create your vhost configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available and the command "a2ensite" will create symlink to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory. After reload of your apache server, the newly added vhost will be available (watch for errors on reload of apache) [21:55] AnxiousNut: you can see what ports you have open in a terminal: netstat -anp --tcp --udp | grep LISTEN [21:55] DrGrov: don't blame Linus, he's a good guy... [21:55] Jenni0: k.. but did you install a gui environment with it? [21:55] Using wine1.2 to open World of Warcraft I keep getting this error in the terminal: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Nq1XyUzW . Anyone have a clue what this means [21:55] Beyecixramd, no I don't blame linus. [21:55] hoglahoo: DrGrov stop swearing [21:55] Beyecixramd, i am just being a bit sceptical [21:55] Izinucs: no. if it isnt default [21:55] Yomic: try asking in #winehq , that's the official support channel for wine [21:55] betecixramd steam its self is free and there are a couple of free steam games. [21:55] oCean_, sure. will do. [21:56] Slart: Thank you, I will! [21:56] <|_ocke> dio is dead :( [21:56] DrGrov: i was kidding, you said "god damn" [21:56] hi guys, i just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and my mouse doesnt work. im trying to boot an older kernel to see if that fixes it, but grub never appears on boot. any ideas? [21:56] hi guys, is there any requirement to install pidgin-musictracker?? i have installed and activated the plugin, but the status didn't change at all [21:56] nothingnow: no, i mean free as in free speech. as in free software, like Richard Stallman calls it. Not freeware [21:56] Jenni0: k.. just wondering.. installing a gui environment sill sometimes install a desktop kernel instead of the server kernel [21:56] greezmunkey, that would give me of my pc, i wanna check my home's IP address! is there a way to assign an ip addderss? [21:56] iromli: set it to your music player. Sometimes it's a bit buggy and doesn't work at all [21:57] beyecixramd i see what you mean and you never know they may release the source of the linux client =\ [21:57] thesteo82, hold right shift during boot [21:57] hi, guys, does anyone here work with encrypted root hard disks in 10.04, and if so, could you help me get my initrd in order so that i can boot automatically? I have a 10.04 machine that I upgraded using Update Manager from 9.10. during the upgrade and after, grub-pc refuses to work correctly. [21:57] Izinucs: fresh install? :| [21:58] AnxiousNut: You can run nmap against it, but you have to be on the outside I believe for the result to be accurate. [21:58] techpraxis, the alternate installation cd supports setting that up [21:58] nothingnow: they won't........ it's THEIR money. And also, releasing the steam source code won't be enough to run it on OpenSolaris, for example. They would need to release all the other games' source code [21:58] Beyecixramd: yeah, i've changed it ... hmm i guess it's buggy like you said [21:58] Jenni0: sorry I don't have the answers for you.. if nobody here then maybe in #ubuntu-server [21:58] oCean_: I dont see a sites-available.. [21:58] greezmunkey, and how can i do that? [21:58] nothingnow: believe me, Valve is not going to do that... never ever... [21:58] oCean_: oops, sorry === zeleftikam_ is now known as zeleftikam [21:58] What does install side by side mean in the installer? [21:59] techpraxis, oh upgrade, misread, whats the error you get during boot? [21:59] Fozo: in the partition thing? [21:59] techpraxis, can you get to the root when you boot in recovery mode? [21:59] acicula, i am not setting up a new install, i upgraded an existing install. what did you mean by referring to the alternate cd? [21:59] yah Ubuntu install page 4 [21:59] oCean_: so do I have to like, go to the directory I want to set each site to and use that command or what? [21:59] AnxiousNut: nmap -A -T4 {your public ip address} [21:59] acicula, sorry i didn't see your second reply [21:59] hi guys :) how do I add voices to mouse right-click on karmic? I didn't find any guide about it [22:00] acicula, i can boot from initramfs is all [22:00] techpraxis, the alternate cd is the only installer that supports setting up full disk encryption, as opposed to the (standard) default which just encrypts the data in /home [22:00] Seriously. I can't be this much problem to get a romset working [22:00] Lcawte: the default configfile there, you could use to create a new one. Just copy it over using a name you want to use. Edit that file, run the command "a2ensite " and reload/restart apache [22:00] AnxiousNut: there are lots of nmap options you can choose, depending on what you are looking for. [22:00] nass! [22:00] The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. [22:00] You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. [22:00] acicula thanks ill give that a go! [22:00] could someone please help me with SFTP'ing into my ubuntu VPS? I'm getting an error in WinSCP of http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/323/sftp.jpg [22:00] anyone knows whats wrong here? [22:00] acicula, yeah i didn't use the cd, i did an upgrade using Upgrade manager from my existing 9.10 system [22:00] Fozo: it means it will get installed along your Windows installation [22:00] i still have got no alsamixer [22:00] are there anybody espanish? [22:00] I need two things of help, first off: i need to know how to configure a USB flash drive to be bootable, and then i need to know how to make GRUB2 boot that USB drive. [22:00] greezmunkey: thanks a lot for the help :) [22:00] do I pick where? [22:00] during the upgrade, i got an error that grub-pc would not install to /dev/sda [22:00] spanish** [22:00] Fozo: what? [22:01] !es | sonna-hack [22:01] sonna-hack: 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. [22:01] sonna-hack: yes, but this channel is english only [22:01] will it make partion for it? [22:01] techpraxis, im not much good at recovering that, seems using the livecd/recovery mode from the livecd boot option may be usefull to try to get your disks mounted so you can chroot into your system and fix whatevers wrong with grub? [22:01] Hello I have installed xsane and sane to use my HP ScanJet 4600 flat bed scanner but it does not seem to find it, I am running Ubuntu 10.04 any ideas would be great [22:02] Fozo: it will make your system have two partitions: one for Windows, and one for Ubuntu, letting you choose at bootup [22:02] acicula, the error i get, when i boot from command list in grub2 (because the grub.cfg is always written in error with /boot as prefix), i get /dev device not found -- since the initrd is not able to decrypt the drive. [22:03] if i do it manually with cryptsetup luksOpen "/dev/sda5" someTargetname, of course it works [22:03] <|_ocke> man that's harsh [22:03] <|_ocke> did i really just get kicked for the dio comment? [22:03] what is a partion table? [22:03] c0rrupt0r: try running it just once as root to see if it finds your scanner. If so, you know you have a permissions problem... [22:03] how can we find in logs if our system has an unauthorized access please? [22:03] I need two things of help, first off: i need to know how to configure a USB flash drive to be bootable, and then i need to know how to make GRUB2 boot that USB drive. [22:03] |_ocke, you can discuss ban/kicks in ubuntu-ops [22:04] but how do i get my initrd to work? do i have to add something to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [22:04] <|_ocke> acicula, it's not that big a deal [22:04] Hi anyone have trying to installed TELL ME MORE on Ubuntu?? === thibow is now known as [LUTO]thibow [22:04] anyone knows how to install alsamixer ?? [22:04] could someone please help me with SFTP'ing into my ubuntu VPS? I'm getting an error in WinSCP of http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/323/sftp.jpg [22:04] techpraxis, update-initramfs will regenerate it, seems you just need to tweak the grub settings though? [22:05] does anyone know and can explain to me what a partition table is? [22:05] acicula, i have already used the 10.04 livecd to chroot into my system, and grub can't be fixed except by manually editing the grub.cfg, which you are not supposed to do, since on my system grub-pc is BROKEN [22:05] c0rrupt0r: look here, if your scanner is not supported you are out of luck: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html [22:05] Fozo, a hard disk map telling where the partitons are [22:05] Izinucs, ok so I have soled the problem. I used a program called testdisk, it can scan your disk for partitions and then correct the partition directory, worked great :) [22:05] if I make a new one will the old one be earased? [22:05] techpraxis, if you are upgrading you have grub1 afaik? [22:06] JabberWalkie: I used that once on my laptop.. fixed it and got it working but gparted still had issues. [22:06] techpraxis, if not then you should edit /etc/default/grub to set grub settings [22:06] ._. i have asked twice. and twice it has been pushed up. people, google hasnt helped me for the past 10 times i googled it. i NEED help. [22:06] acicula, no i have grub2 -- i installed 9.10 grub2 [22:06] if I make a new one will the old one be earased? [22:06] ahh, well gparted is working fine here [22:06] so was 9.10 grub2 --> 10.04 grub2, not 9.10 grub1 --> 10.04 grub2 [22:06] i need to know how to make a USB drive bootable, and how to make GRUB2 boot it. [22:06] Fozo, well its a map, you can add and remove paritions from it [22:06] greezmunkey: I have looked there and it says its supported, I have also used sane to find other office scanners and it finds them but odly it will not find two at once? is it only supposted to find one and not navigate between the two different types of scanners? [22:06] CkhiKuzad, I've been waiting for about 10 hours with no response to my question, it's not unusual to be waiting forever for help here :) Just be patient. [22:07] !usb | CkhiKuzad Did you find nothing useful here? [22:07] i think, unless someone can convince me otherwise, that i have identified a bug in the 10.04 version of grub [22:07] CkhiKuzad Did you find nothing useful here?: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:07] xomp: what's your question? [22:07] How can I create a command shortcut or a script in another words as a shortcut on the desktop ? [22:07] Is there an app for gnome similar to KDE's desktop resizable area? [22:07] xomp, i know that it takes a while, and thanks Loshki/ubottu [22:07] xomp: seems like ssh server isn't running on your VPS [22:07] Beyecixramd, could someone please help me with SFTP'ing into my ubuntu VPS? I'm getting an error in WinSCP of http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/323/sftp.jpg [22:07] AnxiousNut: yes, the upcoming GNOME Shell [22:08] GeekSquid, I am able to ssh into the VPS just fine though [22:08] GeekSquid, and the sftp subset is loaded [22:08] how do I get that gngeo package uninstalled now then? [22:08] c0rrupt0r: that I have no advice on, sorry. check at http://www.sane-project.org there may be a forum there you can contact. [22:08] xomp: have you installed the adequate packages and opened ports in both sides? [22:08] xomp: reccommend using filezilla, it works well with sftp on port 22 [22:09] greezmunkey: Thank you for your help I surely will do what you suggest [22:09] Beyecixramd, according to my host (DME Hosting) they don't block any ports :S as for adequate packages, I'm not aware of what I should have/not have heh [22:09] c0rrupt0r: heh, there is #sane...I haven't checked it though. [22:09] ok a simpler question, How do I make a script ? [22:09] xomp: issue sudo install sftp, or things like that [22:09] xomp: anyway, your question is more appropiate to be asked in #Ubuntu-server [22:10] anyways, im out, see you people [22:10] Beyecixramd, cheers [22:11] GeekSquid, Filezilla gives "Out of Memory" error when trying to connect to it on port 22 [22:11] does anyone know why whenever i type "yes" in a terminal, it suddenly goes yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (but much longer, and in a new line) [22:12] xomp: in the left hand side address bar where you would put the hostname ... start with sftp://hostname or ip ... [22:12] xomp: two things to try: first is hushlogin: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Giving_yourself_a_quieter_SSH_login. The second is keyed login: http://realprogrammers.com/how_to/sftp_and_scp.html [22:13] CkhiKuzad: what happens when you type yoyo? [22:13] GeekSquid, yeah same out of memory error as before :P [22:13] how do I get that gngeo package uninstalled now then which I downloaded and installed? PM please [22:13] Loshki, I'll take a look into that thanks [22:13] Wow; upgraded a neighbor to Lucid (from hardy) and nothing works. [22:13] greezmunkey: bash: yoyo: command not found [22:13] Well, X and the network; other than that things might be fine [22:13] Loshki, it's strange because I never get any MOTD or anything of the sorts when logging into my SSH [22:13] techpraxis: I wouldn't be surprised. Grub2 is relatively new. If you can't find an existing bug in launchpad, please file a new nig for it... [22:14] CkhiKuzad : Press Enter instead. [22:14] there is a package, or so I've been told, that makes Ubuntu i386 or 32bit use more then 3GB of RAM, can anyone help ? [22:14] CkhiKuzad: that is wierd, I think it's supposed to do that, interesting! [22:14] techpraxis: nig -> bug (off by one key...) [22:14] i guess its supposed to scare people who try to do apt-get without using superuser powers. [22:14] Armageddon: you're probably looking for a PAE-enabled kernel [22:14] CkhiKuzad: check this: man yes [22:14] sudo dpkg --configure -a exit status 1 [22:14] xomp: can you sftp from the server into the server? [22:15] like "are you root" "yes" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" [22:15] help [22:15] CkhiKuzad: check this: man yes [22:15] Loshki, yeah [22:15] just did [22:15] Armageddon: PAE (physical address extensions or something like that) enables you to use more than 4GB on a 32bit system.. I think it's enabled on all the server kernels.. not desktop kernels [22:15] CkhiKuzad : Time to clean your keyboard..something got under Yyyyyyyyyyyyyy! [22:15] how do you change the console resolution in 10.04? [22:15] CkhiKuzad: 'yes' is a unix command. man yes.... [22:15] there are PAE kernels available for desktop. [22:15] if it uses a lot of ram/cpu during its running, its looks kinda like a DoS. [22:16] yes is usufull for autoconfiguring kernels [22:16] Slart, Armageddon: There's a -pae generic (desktop) kernel as of 9.10 too now [22:16] ola [22:16] CkhiKuzad: can be a bit hard to break out of, I find, as well ! [22:16] hi, I am having trouble with zoom out. First of all, water is ? So, I had my laptop set up a while back with Karmic, so that if I click the left side of the screen it zooms out. Now I just installed lucid on my desktop, and made the same config change in compiz settings manager, section scale, and it doesn't work. [22:16] xomp: weird. Still, harmless to try the above suggestions.... [22:16] como fazer para não mais receber emails do python? [22:16] i just do CTRL+C [22:16] tonio904__: why three clients? [22:16] Flannel: ah.. nice.. thanks [22:16] !pt | jricslima [22:17] jricslima: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [22:17] !es | jricslima [22:17] jricslima: 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. [22:17] oh. [22:17] Loshki, ok :) [22:17] ok [22:17] either way, he knows. [22:17] CkhiKuzad: yes, but it *was* portuguese... [22:18] Loshki: i didnt know that... WOOT! i learn more every day ^^ [22:18] CkhiKuzad: me too... [22:18] Loshki, yes i think i am going to do that later this afternoon. one thing that may be causing the failure of grub-pc to install is that all my pv names have dashes in them -- you know they did that workaround in debian so that this would mean that names have two dashes if you originally put a dash. i found a bug in grub2 last year that was filed under debian, do not know if ubuntu picked it up [22:18] Any frontend for Dgen, the Sega Genesis Emulator? [22:19] How do I scan a DOS floppy (mounted under /media/) for errors? Is there a way to do so from the command line? [22:19] i'm getting to the point where rather than using gnome-terminal, i think i will just use guake [22:19] but the error is the "pv0: physical volume not found" i have never had a physical volume named pv0 [22:19] hello everybody, what is the console command for check disk? [22:19] How can I set up my fixed-width serial printer under Hardy? [22:19] Please. [22:19] martinam [22:19] copb_phoenix: umount it, then do dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/dev/null and see if it succeeds. [22:19] techpraxis: scary, and well outside my expertise, sorry... [22:19] not_an_andy: fsck [22:19] acicula: the man page give absolutely no information on the yes command - seems like I heard of that years ago. Maybe it was there for benchmarking? [22:20] is there a lighter pvr than myth? [22:20] I have an older gigabyte amd 939 board with onboard lan, when I try enabling 4GB ram support the NIC stops working, if I turn off the support I lose ~500mb of ram but my NIC works (ubuntu 8.04 LT zimbra server) [22:21] tarvid, less features? [22:21] how do you zoom out? [22:21] greezmunkey: the 'yes' man page doesn't say much, but then again, the command doesn't do much. It's been there for decades though. For testing teletypes maybe? [22:21] bindir, 32bit OS ? [22:21] acicula: O'Reily says this - I doubt it's usefullness though: Useful in scripts and in the background; its output can be piped to a program that issues prompts [22:22] Loshki, understood. and yes, disturbing. it is actually grub-probe that generates the error. looking back on all the problems with grub2 in the first week of release, grub-probe appears to implicated in many off them. ubuntu unresolved bugs for grub2 are prominentlyy mentioning that three different fixes for grub-probe were committed since may 10. [22:22] test34: 64bit SMP [22:22] Loshki: right, printheads - baselining line printers probably! [22:22] Sorry, how? [22:22] I need to set this fixed-width printer up. [22:22] Lol [22:23] test34, I would like to capture the stuff I play on tvtime [22:23] It is giving me a tough time. [22:23] im going to build myself a new computer and need to know if this mobo is going to do ok with Ubuntu is there anyone i can send the link to for advice [22:23] techpraxis: Frankly, I'm underwhelmed with grub2 stuff. The scripts are terribly convoluted and look like they were done in a hurry... [22:23] Loshki, i am glad i am not the only one who feels this way [22:23] SwedeMike: an error: "dd: opening `/dev/fd0': No such file or directory" [22:24] how cani get a list of allchat rooms on the freenode server? [22:24] JayX: /msg Alis list [22:24] copb_phoenix: then I guess it's called something else, you need to replace /dev/fd0 with whatever the drive is called [22:24] Loshki, i looked at the grub-probe script this morning and noted several places where function calls could be thrown off by parameters not anticipated in the *) for the switch [22:24] skinnymg1: usually I check reviews on newegg and look for someone who says it worked (or didn't) on Ubuntu. If that doesn't work, your next best bet is to check the individual chipsets, but it's a gamble at that point... [22:25] <_ba> any ideas why when i do ls /etc it hangs and locks up my ssh session? [22:25] <[fade]> too much data [22:25] Loshki: wow, pipe the output of yes (some page width string) to a printer and put it in the background...That would drive an administrator crazy. [22:25] i am going to have to file that bug report. the annoying thing is that the maintainers of grub appear to be so satisfied that they have committed fixes [22:25] SwedeMike: It's an external drive hooked via USB. How would I go about finding out it's name? [22:25] jpds, dont work :D [22:25] Loshki, it has the Intel G31 chipset [22:25] techpraxis: I boot 10.04 from a grub1 menu. It's unsupported... [22:25] SwedeMike, they thanks! i got my files archives [22:25] -s +d [22:25] Loshki, hmmm that IS interesting. maybe i can do the same thing [22:26] copb_phoenix: check what it was mounted with before. [22:26] <_ba> well it seems i can't view anything in the /etc dir if i do a less /etc/vsftpd.conf it hangs as well === asd_ is now known as Guest44361 [22:26] \join #python.de [22:26] how cani get a list of allchat rooms on the freenode server? [22:27] skinnymg1: I run g31 myself on an ECS G31-T M mobo (bundle from frys) [22:27] Loshki, my drive is formatting GPT, would that preclude doing as you mentioned (knowing that you did NOT suggest it, acknowledging it is UNSUPPORTED) -- but grub-pc is not working properly for my use case that is for sure. [22:27] GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L is the mobo im looking at [22:27] is anyone here using desktop zoom out, I can't work it [22:28] Hi, I need help with Virtualbox.. I uninstalled the OSE version to test the closed source version, but didn't like it much. However now when I try to install VB-ose it says: * No suitable module for running kernel found [fail]. I'm running a 64bit lucid install. What do I need to do to be able to install Virtualbox? [22:28] is there a check disk command in linux? [22:28] techpraxis: I got the idea from http://fordflux.com/blog/linux/downgrade-grub-2/ and noting that upgrading to 9.X had the option to keep grub1... [22:28] not_an_andy, fsck [22:28] not_an_andy: maybe youre looking for fsck? [22:28] kaddi, sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [22:29] pepee, thanks [22:29] lol I had that problem with vbox too [22:29] not_an_andy, np [22:30] hmm [22:30] Hi [22:30] is there a way to apt-get install kernel 2.6.32 for ubuntu 8.04 LTS? [22:31] bindir: Why do you want it? There is probably also a ppa. [22:31] seems like apt just wants to go from 2.6.24-26 to 2.6.24-27 after I do apt-get update [22:31] It won't jump from 2.6.24 to 2.6.32 if you don't upgrade your ubuntu version [22:31] Loshki, many thanks for that link. I understand at my own risk. but thanks. [22:31] sebsebseb: I'm thinking it might be a driver/kernel issue related to my NIC not working with 4gb mem support on in the bios [22:32] duffydack: thanks, that at least allowed for VB to be opened. :) Now it says "Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root" when I try to start an image. When I type said command in the command line the output is: "FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found." [22:32] Daekdroom: Or find a ppa for later kernel, or install them selves, yeah. [22:32] i know this is a stupid question and i don't want to bother you but am doing so out of desperation. I am looking for some decent wireless noice cancling headphones copatible with ubuntu yet can't seem to find any or find a form that could provide me with a recomendation. If you know of any or of a forum that could offer me a good recomendation can you please tell me. [22:32] bindir, there is a ubuntu kernel ppa [22:32] skinnymg1: I took a look at newegg reviews. One reviewer had NIC problems, another mentions fan speed issues, but half a dozen say ubuntu ran with no problems. Make sure you can RMA it if the worst comes to the worst... [22:32] techpraxis: best of luck... [22:32] bindir: 8.04 is getting quite old now really, you can directly upgrade it to 10.04. However no Ext4 file system or Grub 2 on upgrade, but you don't need those anyway. [22:32] xxploit: That ppa can't work as a .deb repo, can it? [22:33] kaddi, you uninstalled ose right? [22:33] sebsebseb: zimbra doesn't support 10.04 [22:33] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32/ [22:33] bindir: What's zimbra? [22:33] ... [22:33] bindir: Is it still under warranty? [22:33] duffydack: i uninstalled ose, installed the closed source one, uninstalled the closed source one and am now trying to reinstall the ose one [22:33] sebsebseb: bindir: 10.04 with grub1 and ext3 sounds like the best of both worlds, if you ask me.... [22:33] Daekdroom: the mainboard? [22:33] Loshki: oh? [22:33] kaddi, tried modprobe -r {whatever module ose is} ? [22:33] duffydack: so I know it was working before and I don't understand why it ain working now [22:33] bindir: the system? [22:33] Loshki: Ext4 is good, but Grub 2 most of us don't need that. [22:33] Daekdroom: no [22:34] sebsebseb: zimbra is a mail/calendar (exchange replacement) [22:34] duffydack: modprobe -r vboxdrv returns the same error message [22:34] kaddi, ah..you want ose back.. just uninstall everything virtualbox.. that means autoremove --purge [22:34] how do I stop the "Default Keyring" from popping up everytime I restart [22:34] bindir: As far as I know Evolution has some support now for Exchange [22:34] bindir: also if you can install a program for 8.04, then you probably can for 10.04 as well [22:34] duffydack: won't that delete all the VM I installed as well? [22:35] sebsebseb: zimbra has a commerical version that doesn't support 10.04 [22:35] Loshki, ty [22:35] http://www.zimbra.com/downloads/ne-downloads.html [22:35] bindir: yes it may say it doesn't run on 10.04, but it probably will [22:35] Loshki, it looks like the community ubuntu pages have not yet gotten an "encryptedfilesystems" page that is updated for lucid? but i can fix initrd on my own; it appears that the kernel post-inst scripts are not updating the initrd either. unbelievable. and they call this "long-term support"? [22:35] hola a todos [22:35] sometimes ubuntu scares me. [22:36] sebsebseb: this channel has seen its share of mysterious behaviour reports with ext4. We've never known if it was pilot error or something more insidious. If you want good stability, ext3....

Prevent "Default Keyring" on startup? [22:36] techpraxis: The community help pages also have a lot of old info, however I read that they are going to completly re do that for 10.10. [22:36] muchas gracias ubottu [22:36] is there anything besides xubuntu recommended for netbooks? besides lxde i mean [22:36] I want to be able to do 3D models, what is the best 'free' program to use for Ubuntu? [22:36] Zimbara nice name! [22:37] bub: probably blender [22:37] techpraxis: the encrypted stuff scares me anyway. Periodically we get people here who can't decrypt their file systems. It's very hard to know if it's pilot error or something more insidious... [22:37] !info blender [22:37] bindir: I'll have a look at the site [22:37] onetinsoldier: thankyou :) [22:37] SwedeMike: Multiple tries in different ways gives me a persistent mount at sdc. However, when I try to run the command you passed me with the directory/pointers changed after umount, it fails with the same error each time: "dd: opening `/dev/sdc/': Not a directory" [22:37] bub: you're welcome [22:37] blender (source: blender): Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer.

[22:38] hola [22:38] Adios a todos [22:38] techpraxis: time-based releases mean something is always not ready. I wouldn't judge 10.04 until it's had at least a couple of month's soak time in the field... [22:38] Loshki, yeah it seems that Canonical was promoting the LUKS option with 9.10, or am I misperceiving what seemed to me like a distinct increase in boasting that Ubuntu "now came with full disk encryption capabilities" in media releases last year?? [22:38] gafir: iwconfig [22:38] GeekSquid: Thanks :) === Votan is now known as Votan|off [22:39] gafir: iwconfig [22:39] dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [22:39] Loshki: Google have gone from Ext2 to Ext4, or will rather soon, however they also hired the lead Ext4 developer [22:39] hola, he intalado kde en ubuntu netbook, pero al ejecutar el escritorio kde no me sale optomizado para netbook, alguien sabe como socluionarlo????

Readout says that it copied the physical disk size, but what did that command do, exactly? And what do I do next? [22:39] onetinsoldier: do I want the linux x86-32 or the linux x86-64? [22:40] sebsebseb: good, that should knock out the last few bugs in ext4 then.... [22:40] i was updateing from 9.04 to 9.10 and now i cant install anything [22:40] swedeMike / GeekSquid: although I am connected to my wireless router, when doing iwconfig I get: Access Point: Not-Associated [22:40] bub: you use the command line at all? try 'uname -m' on the command line [22:40] bindir: still here? [22:40] Loshki, correction admonishment is proper. but the initrd thing NEEDs to be better documented. Perhaps that is what I am going to have contribute to user documentation, as soon as I learn it for ubuntu. I know it on Debian pretty well, but Ubuntu has its own weird tweaks to initamfs-tools [22:40] SwedeMike / GeekSquid: do you see any reason why this is happening? :-) [22:40] sebsebseb: it's not a matter of it running or not on 10.04 it's if something goes wrong they can just say "oh we don't support 10.04" [22:40] copb_phoenix: if it copied the whole thing then you dont have any bad blocks. [22:40] Loshki: A bit off topic, but 10.10 might have btfs as the default file system [22:41] duffydack: you're awesum! :D Thanks, it's working now. [22:41] techpraxis: not a lot of people know about that stuff. I'd love to read anything you write on the topic.... [22:41] bindir: I see [22:41] bindir: yeah [22:41] sebsebseb: yea trying to see if google would know why 4gb memory mapping would break an ethernet card lol [22:41] bindir: so why do you want the later kernel exactly? [22:41] can someong google something 4 me [22:41] bindir: you want to use Zimbra at home or? [22:41] gafir: you see the ESSID but no MAC address for Access Point? [22:41] sorry, was d/c [22:42] jahnkeanater: I google stuff for people on this channel all the time. What do you need? [22:42] kaddi, no prob [22:42] still got access point: Not-Associated [22:42] bindir: this might sound a bit sucky, but here's something you could do. 10.04 as the host operating system, with 8.04 in Virtualbox for Zimbra [22:42] gafir: you see the ESSID but no MAC address for AccessPoint?

It used to work fine, but now nothing plays out of my speakers. Can anybody help me troubleshoot this? [22:42] i cannot [22:42] Loshki, one thing i also need to learn about is plymouth. do you have any good pages for me to brush up on its secrets?? [22:42] (i am using 10.04) [22:42] gafir : try arp -a [22:43] its telling me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a [22:43] is there something similar to manycam which can emulate a webcam. I want to do a live streaming of my desktop. [22:43] bindir: anyway I guess a bit longer now, and Zimba will do a version for 10.04 === McPeter is now known as Noob`s [22:43] i ran that and it gives me this error dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [22:43] techpraxis: I don't. sebsebseb, weren't you working with plymouth a couple of weeks ago? [22:43] gafir: eth1 technically shouldn't be a wlan,... you should see your wireless as wlan0 or ath0 depending on your hardware [22:43] jahnkeanater: for what package? [22:43] i would use paste bin but i do naot have an internet browser :( [22:43] GeekSquid: so it's misconfigured? [22:43] 9.04 [22:43] James: ? (192.168.2.1) at 00:22:75:47:70:2e [ether] on eth1 [22:43] i think [22:43] SwedeMike: I understand - but that leaves me with a different problem. I have a floppy here, the same one I've been working with, that has to have all files backed up... And It's got a lot of corruption. Is there anyway to get the system to piece this thing's files back together from what's there? [22:44] Loshki: uh? [22:44] gafir: do ifconfig and use paste.ubuntu.com to paste the output [22:44] i think im in between 9.04 and 9.10 [22:44] sebsebseb: did I misremember. I thought you were advising someone about plymouth a short while ago... [22:44] Nimblerabit, i am not ubuntu sound expert, but have patience, someone in this channel will respond [22:44] !plymouth [22:44] copb_phoenix: fsck it, so depending on the filesystem you need to use the correct fsck util [22:44] its like 9.10 /w 9.04 kernel [22:44] Loshki: yes [22:44] Loshki: I have done so [22:44] nm, I found it [22:44] copb_phoenix: but make a backup of the drive first. [22:45] SwedeMike: I couldn't find one for DOS. Have I missed something? [22:45] Loshki, i can get rid of plymouth via standard apt-get remove? [22:45] i got an error updateing [22:45] sebsebseb: got any links for techpraxis ? [22:45] Loshki: what's techpraxis issue [22:45] ? [22:45] techpraxis, thanks, hopefully that's true. I can't for the life of me figure out what happened [22:45] copb_phoenix: you might have to install a package for that [22:45] ubuntu acpi support fails for my notebook, but works when waking up from suspend to disk. is there a way to track down the problem? [22:45] copb_phoenix: fsck.msdos I have anyway. [22:45] techpraxis: meet sebsebseb. sebsebseb: meet techpraxis... [22:45] what do i need to do [22:45] gafir : so you are wired not wireless! [22:45] GeekSquid: http://paste.ubuntu.com/434579/ [22:46] James-q: I am wireless :-) [22:46] NimbleRabit: is your sound completely not working, or rather, how far have you gone to figuring out if it can put sound out -- do you know how to find System menu/ Preferences/Sound?? [22:46] teen [22:46] good evening all, i have 4GB of ram and i have installed a i386 Ubuntu on my laptop but i only see 3GB out of them. what should i do? [22:46] James-q: I just installed a new Belkin wireless router and when I'm connected to it, i don't see i am but it works, which is weird, and my wireless is as eth1 [22:46] join #ubuntu-qc [22:47] gafir : private message! [22:47] NimbleRabit, if you can find System/Preferences/Sound Preferences, do you have the correct output adapter specified in the tab called 'output'? [22:47] #join ubuntu-women-project [22:47] GeekSquid / James-q : did you get my ifconfig? Just making sure [22:47] whats this mean cpio: ./sbin/cryptsetup: Cannot stat: No such file or directory [22:47] compengi: install PAE kernel. [22:48] @SwedeMike: Variations on the name give me nothing - no packages suggested, and it's not so easy to track that down without a repo... What do I do? [22:48] edith: you need a leading slash e.g. /join #ubuntu-qc [22:48] copb_phoenix: sudo apt-cache search fsck.msdos [22:48] SwedeMike, thanks! :) [22:49] someone google this 'dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1' [22:49] jahnkeanater: for what package? [22:49] SwedeMike: I apologize; it's already installed, but I forgot that we refer to it as msdos from linux. I'll work at that and get back to you shortly. [22:50] im pretty sure its still 9.04 [22:50] sebsebseb, hey, i was working with loshki on issues resulting from a 9.10 upgrade --> 10.04 LTS == grub-pc not able to install; initrd not updated properly even after update-initramfs -u al [22:50] how can i check [22:50] jahnkeanater: that error message refers to a specific package. need to at least know the name of it [22:50] Loshki: uh so what's what he just told me, got to do with Plymouth? [22:50] sebsebseb, the system in question had a LUKS encrypted root ala alternate install method from 9.10 [22:50] idk how do i check [22:50] techpraxis, yes [22:50] gafir: that is just wierd, not sure what you did, and I have a meeting to be in, so I can't stick around to help, bbl [22:50] What are the new steps to get access to java6? (sun java... :( OpenJava still doesn't work with what I am trying to do) [22:50] normally i go to the about ubuntu thing to chack [22:50] techpraxis: I thought you were going to ask sebsebseb some plymouth questions? [22:51] !java | emry [22:51] emry: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository (!partner repository in Lucid) [22:51] GeekSquid: i'll write a post on the forum then, thanks [22:51] :-) [22:51] is there a way to change the minimize buttons, etc, for windows panes to the right side instead of the left? [22:51] !controls | MACscr [22:51] MACscr: 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 [22:51] how do i find out what package i have [22:51] MACscr: yay someone else wanting to do that :) [22:51] sebsebseb: thanks! =P [22:51] MACscr: np [22:51] jahnkeanater: it sould show as part of the messages from when you do 'dpkg-reconfigure -a'... there shuold be more than just one line to the error [22:52] should* [22:52] man...my laptop install was just perfect, but my desktop install isn't going so well. The video player flashing for a half a second, and then there is no video; thats with totem. And with mplayer the video is way too bright and red. [22:52] there is 1 sec [22:52] sebsebseb, the grub-pc scripts would never write a 'grub.cfg' without a /boot prefix in linux and initrd (on systems with encrypted root, separate /boot is necessary). so i had to boot from initramfs after manual cryptsetup and activation of lvm pvs [22:52] MACscr: or use another theme, that isn't the default black or grey theme [22:52] linux-restricted-modules-generic [22:52] techpraxis: not my issue [22:52] techpraxis: Loshki seems to have refered you to the wrong person [22:52] sebsebseb: dunno, the last thing techpraxis told me was he had plymouth questions. Maybe I misunderstood.... [22:52] but 2 times out of 3, plymouth bs will interfere and the system will never boot. 1 time out of 3, system will boot (after doing the manual stuff i said) so: i asked Loshki if i could remove plymouth [22:53] since the addition of an "autoremove" option for apt-get, is aptitude still the preferred package manager for Ubuntu and it's spinoffs these days? [22:53] techpraxis: oh [22:53] techpraxis: have you got propritary driver installed or Nivida or ATI? [22:53] Loshki, it took me two posts to give basic trajectory of the problem [22:53] for not or above [22:53] plymouth is interfering [22:53] jahnkeanater: ok. well, now you need to use a command line text editor. ever used one before? [22:53] techpraxis: sebsebseb: finally, we're all on the same page.... [22:53] after my manual initramfs boot [22:53] anyone recommend a good ftp client that is very good for managing a 100+ sites and has a very nice built in text editor with tabs and syntax support? [22:53] is that gedit [22:54] or [22:54] im used to using cuteftp pro on windows [22:54] Thanks! I found the problem. After the system upgrade, it did not change the parner link fron karmic to lucid. ^^ I had to edit my repo list., [22:54] jahnkeanater: can you use gedit right now? [22:54] for what [22:54] to edit a file [22:54] MACscr, fireftp plugin for firefox or filezilla are both good clients [22:54] <|_ocke> MACscr, look in synaptic :P [22:54] for what file [22:54] has anyone picked up NimbleRabit? I am afraid i am not the guy to troubleshoot spdif problems? does anyone in here have better sound expertise than me to help Nimble? [22:54] MACscr: I like ncftp but it may be too command liney for you... [22:54] yes i can [22:54] jahnkeanater: /var/lib/dpkg/status [22:55] ok 1 sec [22:55] now what [22:55] jahnkeanater: ok, cool. i didn't think you were in X Windows ;-) [22:55] what that [22:56] jahnkeanater: you see in there how every package has a 'section' in that file? === rizzuh_ is now known as rizzuh [22:56] sure [22:56] SwedeMike: Thank you so very much for your help. Though I'll have to go through and separate the files a second time, this did indeed fix the errors, and I learned a couple things along the way. The channel's reference for "How to ask for help" is very nice, too. Have a nice day, and, again, thanks. [22:56] techpraxis: NimbleRabit may simply have to wait until a sound/spdif expert comes on line. Sometimes it's just unavoidable... [22:56] sebsebseb, Loshki thanks. so question is still outstanding: if i am correct in that 10.04 cannot handle my LUKS/lvm setup (disk is GPT formatted, yes i do have the parted gpt boot thing fixed for grub), will plymouth keep me from being able to boot after i have manually booted from initramfs and if so [22:56] jahnkeanater: ok, you need to find the section for linux-restricted-modules-generic, and just delete the entire section for it [22:57] |_ocke: are you talking about gftp? [22:57] jahnkeanater: then save the file and try... sudo apt-get -f install [22:57] Is gftp even maintained anymore? [22:57] Loshki re: Nimble i was simply putting it out there. i have worked support for years although not in Ubuntu. i know how long it takes on this channel and its okay, its free after all. [22:57] techpraxis: Plymouth as far as I know should boot up fine, unless you have a propritary Nivdia or ATI driver installed. oh and I think there will be an issue for Intel sometimes even [22:58] maybe its me, but i have always thought filezilla was way to ws_ftp like or whatever that old 1995 type ftp client is [22:58] techpraxis: I see lots of hits in google for 'remove plymouth'. Presumably it's not just you... === malnilion_ is now known as malnilion [22:58] sebsebseb, what is best page(s) for me to read to brush up/get up to speed with plymouth? [22:58] is there a native usenet binary client that supports ssl connections? [22:58] I don't know if gftp is in active development, but it does the job reliably, and has the usual features. [22:58] coderipper, lottanzb or ninan [22:59] techpraxis: what happens exactly when you try to boot up Ubuntu on the computer? [22:59] i cant run that command it tells me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem [22:59] thx, mate. [22:59] :D [22:59] coderipper, lottanzb is probably the easiest [22:59] I'm curious -- is there a way to run a curses/ncurses based application through a Web browser? [22:59] jahnkeanater: darn. try that command. what package is it giving en error for now? [23:00] coderipper, ninan is nice but it needs java and uses browser for frontend and isnt just a quick install :) Ill be glad to walk you through it tho. [23:00] hello all, why does my firewall rules go inactive when I exit the gufw window and when I start it back, the "enable" checkbox is off [23:00] i appreciate that, duffydack. thx. [23:00] linux-restricted-modules-generic [23:00] is there a way to keep keep it on, even if the gufw window isn't open? [23:00] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-18-generic [23:01] sebsebseb, grub.cfg is incorrect, so i have to edit in grub2::eliminate /boot prefix, eliminate /dev/mapper/root-myvg-myvolumename [23:01] coderipper, try lotta for now.. if you want more control over your nzb`s then ninan is the way. [23:01] <|_ocke> MACscr, i wasn't talking about anything in particular [23:01] <|_ocke> there are many options [23:01] jahnkeanater: are you sure you took out the entire section in the file that refers to that package? and then saved it? you would have needed to edit the file as 'root' [23:01] techpraxis: re: Nimble: sometimes the best we can do here is to advise them to repeat their question every 15 minutes until someone answers or it becomes clear than no-one knows... [23:01] jahnkeanater: your on 9.04? [23:01] |_ocke: of course there are many options, which is why im looking for opinions =P [23:01] let me double chack [23:01] sebsebseb, do this, still always drops into initramfs shell. okay, then cryptsetup manually, then activate volume groups manually, okay now we can proceed to rest of boot. but plymouth hangs [23:01] techpraxis: Grub 2 in Ubuntu sucks really [23:02] Hello, this is my first time using this software so please be patient with me. I am also sort of new with Ubuntu. My problem is that I cannot upgrade to 10.04. The upgrade didn't work for me and I made 2 CDs and neither of them worked either. Does any one have potential solutions? [23:02] techpraxis: plymouth hangs? [23:02] twbst: ok what happended exactly? [23:02] twbst: and you tried to upgrade from 9.10, I assume [23:03] sebsebseb, yes, Loshki provided me with unsupported example of grub1 in 9.10. i will investigate that. i just asked him a follow up on how to remove plymouth or otherwise keep it from interfering [23:03] I get errors when I try to upgrade and the CDs won't install. My PC ignores the cd [23:03] techpraxis: right, but do you have a propritary NIvida or ATI driver installed? [23:03] badnaam : You turn it on its on ! [23:03] Yes, from 9.1 [23:03] twbst: So you got a working 9.10 on there at the moment? [23:03] how mutch do i remove [23:03] twbst: Desktop cd's? [23:03] Yes. [23:03] twbst: ok you don't upgrade using the 10.04 CD [23:04] Hello. I'm using pidgin and Google's XMPP for IM with someone. When we initiate a video call we only see ourselves. Any idea why? [23:04] Anyway, thanks! : ) [23:04] Sorry. I was trying a clean install with the CD seeing as the upgrade didn't work [23:04] twbst: maybe you got a bad CD [23:04] !md5sum | twbst [23:04] twbst: 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 [23:04] thanks james, so it I need to keep the gui open for the rules to be active? [23:05] I tried 2 cds each made from a different burner neither worked. the check sum was correct [23:05] sebsebseb, yes will stay in plymouth graphical boot screen forever 2/3 of time [23:05] badnaam : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw [23:05] sebsebseb, techpraxis I tried cryptsetup/luks for the first time tonight to make an encrypted partiton on my usb stick and regretted it ever since... [23:05] Package linux-restricted-modules-generic is not installed [23:05] hi, is there a special ubuntu channel for developers? [23:05] duffydack, what problem did you run into? [23:05] jahnkeanater: ok, sounds better [23:05] dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-generic [23:05] twbst: since your on 9.10? md5sum nameofgoeshere.iso once in the folder with the ISO so CD, or just put it in home. get the code. and compare with the code on http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04 if the code is the same you have a good idea. you could even do sha1sum and sha2sum as well if you want [23:06] so what do i do [23:06] sebsebseb, yes, i do have proprietary nvidia installed [23:06] jahnkeanater: try... sudo apt-get -f install [23:06] twbst: cd /home/yourfolder for example [23:06] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem [23:06] sebsebseb, latest for my card from nvidia.com [23:06] twbst: however by default terminal is always in home, so makes sense to have your ISO in there, then do the check in terminal [23:06] techpraxis: right uhmm [23:07] jahnkeanater: it says what to do [23:07] i got noob question when i run ls-l on terminal.... what is the meaning of the "d" on this output drwxr-xr-x [23:07] ok i do that and [23:07] I already checked the md5sum and it is OKAY. I do not know what shal1sum and shal2sum is That is how new I am to this stuf [23:07] sebsebseb, techpraxis once i installed cryptsetup and used the 'disk utility' to make it, I rebooted and had a slightly different res bootsplash to my already low res fglrx bootsplash, then it booted with random errors like panel failing to load, then rebooted and wireless failed to load, then again and clock applet failed to load.. I removed it and a reboot later it was ok [23:07] enav: directory. [23:07] LOL [23:07] techpraxis: 1. get it from repo. 2. only website as last resort. 3. yes propritary Nivida driver will make Plymouth not work properly [23:07] fubared: I supposed #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-beginners-dev is that [23:07] ak spanish???

[23:08] Package linux-image-2.6.28-18-generic is not configured yet [23:08] jahnkeanater: you're trying to update to 9.10.. is that right?

[23:08] how would i boot an ubuntu 10.04 liveUSB with grub2 [23:08] well the docs dont say anythnig about the gui has to be open for the rules to be enforced [23:09] |_ocke: yeah, im a web dev and web host owner, so i work on a lot at the same time [23:09] just installed lottanzb from the ppa repo. will give it a test hop. thx again, duffydack. [23:09] shardaine: : probably :-) just ask the question and you will see hehe [23:09] <|_ocke> MACscr, if you like the way that the win prog works you can probably run it using wine [23:09] sebsebseb, aha -- i asked you a bit before do you have a good bookmarked page for how-to on plymouth such as what you just suggested as having text instead. i don't need graphical boot manager [23:09] jahnkeanater: well what happens if you try.... apt-get install linux-image-2.6.28-18-generic [23:09] when it's open the rules do fine, but if I close the gui, I would assume the rules are already saved, no or am I missing something? [23:09] !enter ubottu [23:09] awww fail [23:09] badnaam : try firestarter firewall instead! [23:10] There's no way to mount a ntfs drive when it got shut down improperly, is there?

[23:10] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [23:10] can anyone explain shortly the benifits of a debian based system for installing / managing programs? i've been told debian based os's do this well, but havent been given a reason [23:10] well, i was using firestarter until this forum recommended gfw, firestarter is even worse, if I create a rule, it seems its never applied [23:10] and ... [23:10] coderipper, cool. ninan is the more featured advanced option.. doesnt take a lot to install, you just have to know how [23:10] jahnkeanater, heh, I just did that at my neighbor's house; her hardy-lucid upgrade didn't go quite as smoothly as I'd hoped [23:11] jahnkeanater, it worked though... [23:11] jahnkeanater: i don't know [23:11] I have 2 interfaces, eth0 and wlan0, for some reason, if I turn the wireless off and keep eth0 open, the firestarter acts like its bound to wlan0 (even though I ran the wizard for eth0) and it won't let me control the firewall [23:11] aeiou, what are the benefits of package management in general? Or of the Debian system in particular? [23:11] how would i boot an ubuntu 10.04 liveUSB with grub2? i need to know how to configure it [23:11] twbst: sha1sum and that other one, is similar to md5sum [23:11] FoolishOwl, the debian system of package management [23:11] :) it didnt for me [23:11] FoolishOwl, package management means you don't have to compile your own software. [23:11] Do I find that at the same site as the md5sum? [23:12] im stuck in 9.04 with a broken synpack and no browser [23:12] fun [23:12] sebsebseb, here is one page talking about /etc/default/grub changes to make proprietary nvidia work with plymouth: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1446132.html [23:12] FoolishOwl, you can if you want, but some people just want to run their computers. [23:12] techpraxis: I can give you the thing, so you can do a text boot [23:12] is there an app that lets me add bookmarks to any pdf document? [23:12] techpraxis: and I have even tested in a vm, works well [23:12] CkhiKuzad, the usb stick boots itself, if your bios supports it. [23:12] hey guys can you help me please??? [23:12] jahnkeanater, what happens when you run the command? [23:12] sebsebseb, that sounds most promising [23:12] craigbass1976, thanks, I was trying to answer someone else's question. [23:13] Sorry. [23:13] duffydack my bios doesnt support it. thats why i specifically said i need help making grub2 boot it === jade is now known as Guest14855 [23:13] hoy can i install openoffice if i have lubuntu [23:13] aeiou, I gather there's some rivalry between the deb system and the rpm system. I find the deb system a bit more robust and easier to use. [23:13] shardaine: try sudo apt-cache search openoffice [23:13] techpraxis: remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub [23:14] thanks [23:14] FoolishOwl, its just someone was trying to tell me that the package manager in debian is much better than arch, i just wanted to see if there was some reasoning behind this [23:14] and will there be instructions like the md5sum? [23:14] it will give you the names of the openoffice things, and when you find the one you want (usually just openoffice) then do apt-get install [the one you picked] [23:14] One distinction is that deb packages have the distinctions between required, recommended, and suggested packages. === pure_hate is now known as nopsled [23:14] sebsebseb, oh yeah - update-grub doesn't work on my system! but the other suggestions are worthy. === nopsled is now known as pure_hate [23:14] sebsebseb, grub-pc is broken on my system [23:14] if I'm in shell emulator, what command do I use to find out how big a file is? [23:15] CkhiKuzad, ah.. there is a way to boot an iso... you`ll have to google it tho [23:15] techpraxis: that's odd [23:15] df [filename]? [23:15] sebsebseb, or more properly put -- that system: only one i dared to 'upgrade' to 10.04 LTS [23:15] keenken, ls -l nameOfFile [23:15] just guessing* [23:15] <_OskaR_> hi. Is there a way to rediscover HW in ubuntu ? [23:15] techpraxis: upgrade from what? [23:15] craigbass1976: waht command [23:15] duffydack: i know, its called loopback. i want to boot a liveUSB drive. not an iso. [23:15] FoolishOwl, thanks a lot [23:15] CkhiKuzad, unless Dr_Willis is around, which he is not [23:15] sebsebseb, yes it is odd. no one here has been able to provide any insight, besides general comments of 'grub2 sucks' [23:15] damn you Dr_Willis! right when i need his help ._. [23:15] df reports on filesystem usage. [23:15] Hi, everyone. I'm having a weird problem. I'm getting a "cannot directory: no such file or directory" when I try to run the mkdir command. Why would it say "no such file or directory"? I *know* there's no such directory. That's why I'm trying to create it... [23:15] twbst: yes it's all there [23:16] <_OskaR_> hi. Is there a way to rediscover HW in ubuntu ? pulse has no soundcard or hdmi atm [23:16] jahnkeanater, sudo dpkg --configure -a [23:16] FoolishOwl, what is the reading then? [23:16] What am I doing wrong it the smb sharing of a folder in this ubuntu10.04 computer can't even be opened from this same computer? [23:16] :) [23:16] bhartman: try with -p flag [23:16] FoolishOwl, is it in bits or bytes? [23:16] Thanks... I will try that. If that does not work, I will probably try ordering a cd. [23:16] bhartman, have you got permission to be writing to wherever you're making the directory? [23:16] CkhiKuzad, install grub on it? grub-install /dev/sdb for example? I`m not sure its that simple tbh. [23:16] ckhikuzad: hey thanks but mmmm now i dont know how tu execute openoffice remember i am using lubuntu whit L [23:16] sebsebseb, : grub-pc fails with "grub-probe error: unable to find physical volume pv0: load filesystem modules manually' then of course dpkg exit with 1 [23:16] shardaine: Have you got Open Office installed yet? [23:17] keenken, oops, it's in "blocks". [23:17] techpraxis: you can even have the old Grub instead, but I have never changed Grub 2 to the old Grub in Ubuntu [23:17] craigbass1976,: Yes. I'm running the command w/ sudo. And -p doesn't seem to help. [23:17] !info grub [23:17] <_OskaR_> hi. Is there a way to rediscover HardWare in ubuntu ? pulse has no soundcard or hdmi atm.

[23:17] sebsebseb, yes Loshki sent me a link on how to downgrade to grub 1 in 9.10. i am going to attempt this [23:17] shardaine its apt-cache not apt.cache [23:17] shardaine: i use regular ubuntu. not lubuntu, i was giving you a universal way to [23:17] sebsebseb, old grub in repo? sweet. [23:17] download it, sorry [23:17] techpraxis: yep [23:18] Hello [23:18] techpraxis: however I have a feeling it is isn't as simple as just removing Grub 2 and installing the old version [23:18] yes yes sorry i wrote apt-cache [23:18] hello Ankoku [23:18] I was wondering if I could get a bit of help [23:18] bhartman: could you pastebin the command with the result?

[23:18] shardaine: right, but you don't know how to install Open Office still? [23:18] ok, kjele [23:18] Ankoku: just ask the question :-) [23:18] anyone using syncml?

[23:22] Chaddledee: it does [23:22] Chaddledee: it's just not called that [23:22] bhartman: is that module folder read only? [23:22] You don't see anything about openoffice in synaptic?
