[00:00] etate: it's fairly straightforward to use mkfs.reiserfs instead ;-) [00:00] ircnow: as for checking ISO well [00:00] !md5sum > ircnow [00:00] ircnow, please see my private message [00:00] crimsun: um i dont see that binary on my system [00:00] sebsebseb: I will do, on mac is the same md5sum .iso? [00:00] maco: how do I install the main application? [00:00] ircnow: oh [00:01] ircnow: so you have done Ubuntu on a Mac? [00:01] maco: reiserfsprogs [00:01] crimsun: ah [00:01] ChogyDan: except that the 4GB file size limit any other reasons? [00:01] sebsebseb: no I have one :-) [00:01] Petein: I don't know [00:01] g0th: sagemath was removed because it is apparently unbuildable for now because of dependencies on python2.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sagemath/+bug/510521 [00:01] maco: the packages you showed above do not contain the main program, those are just libraries [00:01] sebsebseb: I have a mac too [00:01] crimsun: thats not on my system actually : [00:01] ircnow: yeah you just use a md5sum check program, well no I think it's just do it in the terminal or whatever OS X calls it [00:01] g0th: umm those 2 binaries are all that that source package has generated at least as far back as hardy [00:02] ircnow: md5sum nameofgoeshere.iso and compare the code with the one on [00:02] trism: hmm, but what about the packages on the sagemath webbsite? [00:02] g0th: are you sure this is the right package name? [00:02] trism: is it save to install them? [00:02] maco: sagemath is the package name [00:02] maco: sage is the name of the program, it is a very big framework [00:02] g0th: ah ok yes that was removed from lucid... let me see why [00:02] crimsun: oh my bad, installing reiserfs progs adds it automagically O_O [00:02] sebsebseb: I think the md5sum sould be right, but i will check [00:02] etate: do you find a solution? [00:02] etate: I mentioned that previously ;-) [00:03] ircnow: well the md5sum sha1sum and sha2sum codes are in the list of files on http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04 as well as on some other page [00:03] http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/sagemath/linux/64bit/index.html [00:03] g0th: it was removed from debian testing and thus from ubuntu because it requires python 2.5 and ubuntu has 2.6 [00:03] ircnow: if it is fine [00:03] ircnow: which it probably is [00:03] g0th: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sagemath/+publishinghistory [00:03] ircnow: no point doing another clean install of 10.04 really [00:04] ircnow: instead try my text boot suggestion, which I didn't actsaully tell you how to do yet, and if that won't work, I guess a previous version of Ubuntu or another distro [00:04] ok thanks for the information [00:04] Luija1006: nope i'm afraid not, its a weird error... i would suggest changing to tools that aren't buggy :p [00:04] Got a small problem.. I tried to add a pannel to the bottom of the screen.. but it didn't apear and instead when I maximize a window bottom 20 or so pixels do are not used .. like in this picutre http://i42.tinypic.com/295eh3o.png .. Anyone? [00:04] Luija1006: or post on the greasemonkey group / forum [00:04] how do i put a bootable iso onto a usb stick? [00:04] etate: the buggy tool is kate, because greasemonkey had not problem before 10.04 -_- [00:05] Luija1006: the buggy tool is ubuntu 10.04 :( [00:05] etate: LOL [00:05] harjot, google unetbootin [00:05] i have a text file that i want to have every "PD;" replaced with a "," ... no quotation marks of course. this seems like something a one line script could do but i am clueless. anyone wanna help? :) [00:05] harjotČ System -> administration -> Startup disk creator [00:06] blackratdog: im using that witha custom iso, but when i boot it up, it comes up looking for gparted [00:06] upgrdman, opet it in Gedit, go to Search -> Replace [00:06] type PD; in first field and , in second [00:06] Does anybody know how to detect whether the current GTK theme has the unified titlebar/menubar behavior where dragging the menubar drags the window (like the default theme in 10.04 does)? [00:07] upgrdman: sed "s/PD;/,/g" filename [00:07] I'd like Firefox to be able to detect it and behave appropriately. [00:07] etate: I will try to uninstall firefox to see if this gets solved, do you know the command? [00:07] Luija1006: sudo apt-get remove firefox [00:08] why dont you purge it? [00:08] Grujah, Pici, thanks! [00:08] Hello, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu9.10. My wireless network is working. I get an ip with ifconfig but I cannot resolve any webpages or ping anything [00:08] so how do i clear my arp tables, or grab new ones from my gateway/dhcp? [00:08] Got a small problem.. I tried to add a pannel to the bottom of the screen.. but it didn't apear and now the place where it should be (bottom 20 pixels of the screen) is completely dead - i cannot occupy it with an icon or desktop or a window or anything. .. like in this picutre http://i42.tinypic.com/295eh3o.png [00:09] upgrdman: throw -i on there if the results look good to save the output to the same file. [00:09] why cant i find kdevelop on the package manager anymore? [00:09] cbovard: have you tried doing: sudo dhclient wlan0 (or whatever your interface is) [00:09] Whats the next version of Ubuntu gonna have thats diffrent [00:09] i will try [00:09] ircnow: checking the ISO yet? [00:09] sebsebseb: no [00:10] cbovard: actually hmm if you got the IP then dhcp should be working [00:10] ircnow: maybe Plymouth hasn't installed properly for some reason [00:10] etate: it is strange.. i am connected, with an ip but nothing.. [00:10] er [00:11] sebsebseb: maybe the kernel was not installed completly [00:11] Question: removing mono should not break a system, would it? [00:11] ircnow: anyway first check ISO and do that soon? then you can try an idea or two of mine, and if that won't work. Either try clean installing 10.04 again, or just do a previous version, of Ubuntu, or other distro. [00:11] cbovard: ping doesn't work, but does wget ? [00:11] cbovard: as in if you do: wget http://www.google.com [00:11] one sec [00:12] sebsebseb: yes [00:12] in update manager is it wise to tick the 2 other sites that show in other software? i`m new to ubuntu and dont want to mess up my system thats been running fine for over 2 weeks now. [00:12] etate: resolving..... [00:12] ircnow: ok so about to check ISO? [00:12] why isnt kdevelop in the package manager anymore? [00:12] sebsebseb: I will check later [00:13] ircnow: well this might work. and would result in a text boot. [00:13] sebsebseb: any idea why when booting the livecd i can't get past the options screen? === bc-uxqd760 is now known as bctrainers [00:13] is there any way to remove the clock that's in indicator applet? [00:13] any suggestions for a printable "quick reference" for ubuntu? [00:13] I do not need a second clock [00:13] what are the commands for patching the kernel [00:14] ircnow: remove plymouth-label, plymouth-theme-ubuntu-{logo,text}, and plymouth-x11; then remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and do sudo update-grub [00:14] and the clock that's in indicator applet is poo compared to Clock Applet (I use the drop-down mutli-time zone world map daily) [00:14] but it's just silly to have two clocks sitting up there [00:14] sebsebseb: plymouth-x11 I will istall, because its not installed [00:15] etate: oh well I just saw something that could be of interest: It says kate has errors opening the file (the error ocurrs while parsing the element"), some ilumination to get this solved? [00:15] ircnow: yes get that installed then [00:15] ircnow: then try booting up again [00:15] etate: a bad ISO maybe [00:15] !md5sum | etate [00:15] etate: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [00:15] sebsebseb: ok I do, wish me luck [00:15] sebsebseb: i did md5 sum on it... its not a bad iso [00:16] etate: the router must not like my computer.. [00:16] etate: How old is the computer? [00:16] sebsebseb: its also the second CD i burnt, so its not a bad CD either [00:16] sebsebseb: I need luck for installing 10.04 :) [00:16] patch [00:16] hi [00:16] ircnow: ok good luck [00:16] sebsebseb: a couple of years, its a dual core (core duo 2) [00:16] !patch [00:16] Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. [00:16] how do i know that i'm getting the best out of my system is there any way i can check? [00:16] i need phpmailer [00:16] sebsebseb: ok [00:16] etate: maybe the CD itself didn't burn properly [00:17] etate: you could try burning a new CD and slower [00:17] does somebody already have the 2.6.34? [00:17] sebsebseb: yeah i did that, i did the minimum speed for the second cd, which is the one i'm using now [00:17] etate: and you can't get past boot screen hrm [00:17] Sonsee, rc7 right now [00:17] daveWilky: system monitor [00:17] etate: Which graphics card? How much RAM? [00:17] daveWilky: were you productive with it ? [00:17] sebsebseb: 1gig ram, nvidia quadro 52M graphics card [00:18] etate: You could try the alternate CD instead [00:18] !alternate | etate [00:18] etate: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [00:18] sebsebseb: i tried running the text installer also, and it got stuck at "Loading ..." [00:18] Trying to rescue an old ubuntu mythtv server right now. [00:18] etate: if i connect with a cord i get internet.. router must be just messing up [00:18] etate: oh and also md5sum'd that ISO and it was ok? [00:18] well all that i use it for is working good, just want to know if i`m getting the best out of the 8gig of memory i have installed. [00:18] sebsebseb: yeap [00:19] sebsebseb: i also ran memtest86 on the computer and there were no RAM errors found [00:19] !64 > daveWilky [00:19] daveWilky, please see my private message [00:19] etate: ok well I guess 10.04 is out for that computer then, so you could try a previous version of Ubuntu, plus their are a lot of other good distro's out there, Mandriva :) PC Linux OS, Fedora, Debian, and so on [00:19] why isnt kdevelop in the package manager anymore? [00:19] I'm trying to install lucid from a USB (liveCD not available) but I keep getting an error "no DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found" My google search has yielded me nothing but, "switch to unetbootin" but I've tried making the bootable USB with unetbootin and pendrivelinux's utility and I am still stuck. :\ [00:20] sebsebseb: any ideas what could cause this? all my guesses were wrong i think... i don't think its a gfx issue and all the gfx fixes didn't work (nouveau.modeset=0 and xforcevesa) [00:20] arbo: if you are on windows, try linuxliveusb.com [00:20] blackratdog: alright. [00:20] sebsebseb: i thought it may have been a problem loading ramfs but the ram is clean... [00:20] etate: Have you had previous Ubuntu versions on there? [00:21] i am following instruction in this page http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600, and i am stuck in the "download latest driver section, can someone please help me! [00:21] sebsebseb: yes, 9.10 installed... but was eternally stuck at the splash screen [00:21] C99SHELL FOR U [00:21] http://oracao.gospelmais.com.br/wp-includes/sup.php [00:21] etate: oh [00:21] etate: ok this sounds all a bit odd [00:21] blackratdog: I have tried that one too, actually (been at this for a couple of hours) [00:21] etate: worth trying another distro now, to see what that's like on there [00:21] sebsebseb: yeah i've had sabayon installed on there for 3 months now [00:21] I've also tried multiple USB drives, but they're of the same time/size. :\ [00:21] er, type. [00:22] etate: it might be simpally that for whatever reason, Ubuntu doesn't like your computer === PHANTOM is now known as Guest79212 [00:22] etate: oh you went to Sabayon [00:22] Hello people please I need help: Kate is having error opening .js greasemonkey scripts: when I click edit with greasemonkey this error windows appears http://i39.tinypic.com/24msuna.png , but in 9.10 kate opened the greasemonkey scripts perfectly, whats going on? [00:22] sebsebseb: yeah, my guess would have been it was a problem with the motherboard [00:22] etate: yeah Sabayon is also good, but I woudn't normally recommend it as an alternative to Ubuntu [00:22] yes my system is AMD64 with the 8 gig of memory [00:22] sebsebseb: why not? [00:22] etate: since Mandriva and PC Linux OS :) [00:22] !hg clone [00:23] etate: that nd when I tried Sabayon in vm, and tried to install from CD, uhmm... [00:23] etate: CD/DVD [00:23] sebsebseb: well i like gentoo but didn't want to go through source compilation again, thats why [00:23] etate: yes if you want an easy version of Gentoo, then Sabayon is rather ideal [00:23] sebsebseb: but the performance is really bad on that system [00:23] I need some help fixing dpkg database on Ubuntu linux 10.04 system. [00:24] sebsebseb: the drive is LVM which confused me also === benkevan is now known as bkevan === bkevan is now known as bkevan_ === bkevan_ is now known as benkevan [00:24] etate: Ubuntu can use LVM as well, but it woudn't normalley [00:24] etate: well I think Ubuntu can use LVM === benkevan is now known as bkevan === bkevan is now known as bkevan__ [00:24] sebsebseb: do you think that could cause performance issues? [00:24] I cannot install or upgrade anything [00:25] sebsebseb: i'm trying to figure out why some linux distros just don't like that machine but can't figure it out [00:25] The system still runs [00:25] its annoying :) [00:25] etate: Different distros differnet bugs === bkevan__ is now known as benkevan [00:26] hi [00:26] sebsebseb: yeah, with sabayon the system was real slow though, are desktop environments getting extremely memory hungry or something? [00:26] etate: What a place to say this, but ah well :D Ubuntu is apparantly quite buggy really compared to a lot of the other distros [00:27] sebsebseb: its a shame because its the best in terms of usability [00:27] sebsebseb: that is, if you can install it :) [00:28] sebsebseb: do you know of a distro that is good and performs well? [00:28] etate: yes and no, depends on user, but Mandriva and PC Linux OS, and quite a few others, are also rather user friendly [00:28] Gentoo [00:28] People where is Kate located? [00:28] etate: Mandriva [00:29] Reading database ... 95%dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: [00:29] sebsebseb: i'm thinking of just going back to debian :p [00:29] Newbie here, just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 now I have real problems with my wireless internet connections, so far can not find a group that address my problem [00:30] etate: and a nice graphical control centre to set things up as well, PC Linux OS has it as well though, but that's a Mandriva fork. Shame Ubuntu doesn't have something like this, [00:30] anyone played with IPsec on Ubuntu? I am trying to connect to a VPN with Racoon [00:30] http://oracao.gospelmais.com.br/wp-includes/sup.php [00:30] files list file for package 'playonlinux' is missing final new line [00:31] sebsebseb: okay i will try something else.. thank you for helping [00:31] etate: set things up? well defaults are rather good, but can also easilly do things such as disabling pulseaudio without problems, in the control centre. [00:31] etate: ok well good luck :) [00:31] jas did you leave your wireless internet switched on while you done the upgrade? [00:31] sebsebseb: thanks :) [00:31] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned a fatal error code [2] [00:31] etate: as for Debian since [00:31] etate: Ubuntu is based on Debian [00:31] etate: it's basically Ubuntu, but without quite a few of the features that some of us aren't that keen on [00:31] etate yes did a wireless download [00:32] what will allow me to increase transparency of out-of-focus windows in Windows 7?? [00:32] just like ubuntu has [00:32] etate: quite a few? I mean all [00:32] cypha: ask in a windows channel ? [00:32] sebsebseb: yeah but i think the installer is different [00:32] no one there answers [00:32] cypha: too bad ? [00:32] might be that someone here knows? [00:32] sorry daveWilky last message was for you [00:32] take the security of debian, paint it in kiddy colours and poke it full of holes... then you get a product called ubuntu which you can make a lot of money from, but just not tell anyone your making more money than they can imagine, because "thats not what open source is about" [00:32] hello anyone good whit wifi around? [00:32] seems like a solid business plan to me [00:32] cypha: this is a support channel for ubuntu. not for windows. [00:32] sebsebseb: also the latest ubuntu was based on debians testing branch... [00:33] got a amilo here and i am unable to get the wifi turned on and acerhk dosent install [00:34] Bizzeh: take Debian, start doing stuff since 9.04 that certain experienced users such as myself aren't that happy about, and keep on doing it as versions come out. and hopefuly attract the main streame Windows users to Ubuntu, but at the same time lose, experienced users to other distros [00:34] any1 wanan gimme a hand w/ ssh? [00:34] Hi, I can not join unencrypted networks after joining an encrypted network. [00:34] Until I restart [00:35] !change hostname [00:35] I have bcm43xx on a lenovo laptop [00:35] gaste: you don't really want to change that. [00:35] sebsebseb: ubuntu is pretty much praying on the stupidity of people... same as microsoft did, same as apple are doing now... you appeal to the stupid people, because they are easiest to make part with their money [00:35] gaste: I hear [00:35] Bizzeh: yes Canonical want to make money, but the services aren't that bad really the ones they are using to make money from [00:36] Bizzeh: lots of money going to an open source linux distro doesn't sound that bad to me [00:36] etate: im not on about going in [00:36] im on about the lead ubuntu devs now being paid very heafty amounts [00:36] sebsebseb , Bizzeh : this is not a political endeavour [00:37] thanks dabaR . How do you ask ubottu smthing ? [00:37] Bizzeh: so what? [00:37] good for them. glad to hear someone is making good money in the open-source sector [00:37] sebsebseb: what things do you mean? [00:37] is anyone here using phusion passenger and nginx? i'm having a dilly of a time getting phpfast cgi to work [00:37] gaste: /msg ubottu smthing [00:37] Bizzeh: as for Apple they took a load of open source, put lip stick on it, did some of their other changes, and sold it as Mac OS X. As for Microsoft they are still rather big today, because of computer ignorants, which just happens luckily for them, to be most computer users. [00:37] I have a on board realtek ac97 audio on a asus board and ubuntu 10.04 and I have a logitec suround system. when I go to sound settings and set it for 5.1 suround it should use all three audio ports for my suround and I know for sure the audio jacks are in right plugs but my sound fades in and out. is there a linux driver I need to install to get 5.1 to work? [00:37] What's the program to use if I want a simple way to combine a bunch of image files into a pdf? [00:37] I'm having a problem with X I think, every few seconds my screen will flicker, not completely off or anything but just a small one [00:38] sebsebseb: they bought and support CUPS too [00:38] Bizzeh: as fun as it is sometimes, we are off topic, and this is really a support channel, so we should stop it now really [00:38] Is there a bug in intel's display driver or something? [00:38] pinnerup: don't know. perhaps 'pdfmod' [00:38] Flare183: I suspect so. all software has bugs [00:38] Flare183, you talkin about intel integrated graphics? [00:38] a3ist: yup [00:38] linxeh: not all, i wrote a word count in asm once :) [00:38] Flare183, which one? [00:38] my main point is, why shout about freedom and how all software should be free, yet take money out of peoples pockets for the software that is supposed to be free at the same time [00:39] a3ist: I'm not sure let me look [00:39] anyway [00:39] etate: and it had bugs [00:39] i will continue this at some other point [00:39] etate: can it cope with chinese words ? [00:39] bzzt fail [00:39] linxeh: thats not a bug thats a feature request ;) [00:39] etate: no you said it counted words; it doesnt [00:39] Flare183: you might want too look at this --> http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes [00:39] alright [00:39] as my cat has just used his claws to inform me that its time for sleep (he sleeps on my leather chair) [00:39] linxeh: okay it counts numbers [00:39] Bizzeh: Ubuntu has never been a 100% free software distro [00:39] !freedom | Bizzeh [00:39] Bizzeh: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [00:39] linxeh: ASCII numbers [00:39] debian (ubuntu) amd64 package available? For aptana studio. [00:39] etate: ok offtopic I guess :) [00:40] Flare183, I have a fix that worked for my laptop with intel integrated graphics but not positive it will work for yours [00:40] Bizzeh: I am not selling software, I'll setup software, I'll make software work, and I'll support software when things go wrong, and I get paid, what's wrong with that [00:40] etate: compiler introduces bugs? integer overflow, etc [00:40] I have a crazy open source question regarding phones and the new WIMAX 4G network [00:40] sebsebseb: so by free you mean whole control belongs to canonical? nobody else dipping their hands into your pot? [00:40] a3ist: well it flickers sometimes, and the mouse cursor won't change right [00:40] how do I change login theme in 10.4 ? [00:40] Flare183, thats different than the problem I had, unfortunately. [00:41] how do I get 5.1 surround to work properly on my realtek ac97 audio? ubuntu 10.04 asus motherboard [00:41] So I doubt my fix would work [00:41] !sound | woodyjlw [00:41] woodyjlw: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

I have only deleted "shortcuts for Wine and some for programs running with Wine. The big problem is now that I can get it to work again! I tryed to remove and reinstall Wine but I dont get it to works! What can I do, please help? [00:46] Flare-Laptop, you can try my fix and see if it works. At the grub menu, press E for your selected OS so you can add a boot parameter. then, where it says "quiet" and "splash" usually, add "i915.modeset=1" (without quotes) [00:46] linxeh: yeah true, but functional languages are heading in the right direction i think by getting rid of side effects... it definitely reduces bugs created by you rather than someone else [00:46] alright [00:46] hold on [00:46] yeah [00:46] Flare183,, k I'll be semi afk but shoot me a PM if it works and I will tell you how to make the changes permanent [00:46] etate: well, we've had them for decades; they havent caused a revolution yet :) [00:46] ok [00:47] linxeh: they haven't? === airtonix is now known as Guest38641 [00:47] linxeh: 5 years ago they were considered academic and unusable in industry... now there are companies everywhere using haskell, lisp etc [00:47] etate: there have always been people using them [00:47] why do some pdfs, in any viewer, have some parts that are just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA? [00:48] linxeh: since the dawn of lambda you mean? :) [00:48] hola buena el canal en español??? [00:48] well, yeah, [00:48] Axident: Look in ~/.local/share/applications/ ... [00:48] linxeh: its only recent that great progress in optimizing functional programs has occured [00:48] a3ist: I can't get grub to come up :( [00:48] linxeh: the okasaki purely functional datastructures is recent [00:49] linxeh: the ability to have a fast pure language like haskell which works with lazy evaluation is also kind of recent [00:49] I think it shows up if you hold shift; someone correct me if wrong [00:49] etate: I dont argue there have been great innovations; they just havent caused a revolution [00:49] Software i can tell to make a noise at a certain time, say, 05:30 AM. Go. [00:49] linxeh: they have for me personally, now that things are multicore... [00:50] the majority of code is still written in languages such as VB, Csharp, C, Java etc [00:50] Why is there no Opacity Settings tab in CompizConfig? [00:50] someone back me up; is shift the right key to keep grub from starting up the kernel automatically? [00:50] linxeh: yeah sure ... they are the assembly languages [00:50] Weird. My dual VGA/DVI GeForce 6200 wouldnt boot up in VGA mode. I had to swap out with a pure VGA card to get a monitor to show me anything. === canthus13 is now known as Lag [00:51] <_blackwater_> a3ist esc will prompt the kern menu [00:51] linxeh: VB & C# being the asm of the CLR, C... well who uses that anymore except for embedded device programming, and Java for the JVM === Lag is now known as canthus13 [00:51] Flare183, catch that? _blackwater said escape should keep it open. [00:52] etate: C is still massive dood [00:52] a3ist: well right now I'm editing the grub.cfg file to do it manually [00:52] Flare183, alternatively check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where%20did%20my%20Grub2%20boot%20menu%20go!?!?! for reenabling the menu [00:52] yeah thats the other way [00:52] o.O oh ok [00:52] linxeh: ?! dude its only used in the kernel or in device drivers... [00:53] where i mean usable rather than used [00:53] etate: or lots of high speed processing code, databases, realtime systems, etc [00:53] linxeh: nah most high speed processing, realtime system stuff is left to C++ [00:54] i can nearly do everything in ubuntu that i did in windows, but i have tried for 4 hours now to send emails in thunderbird and if i dont get it working then i will have to return windows 7 for good, which is a shame, i really do like ubuntu 10 [00:54] Axident: And in ~/.config/menus [00:54] linxeh: but the JVM and CLR can do that too [00:54] etate: then we work in very different environments ) [00:54] Flare183, under Grub2 you shouldn't actually modify grub.cfg; its generated automatically based on settings in /etc/default/grub. You make changes to grub by editing that file, and then running "sudo update-grub" which will generate a new grub.cfg [00:54] linxeh: yeah, my last job was programming in common lisp so probably :) [00:54] Axident: That's where most of the metadata for the menus are stored, so looking fro the app in question in there will hopefully help. [00:55] in 10.04s built-in IM client, how do I open a send message window? [00:55] <[Screamo]> can anyone help me with smb? [00:55] linxeh: at the moment i'm working in clojure, which is a language that runs on the JVM, hence my opinions [00:55] Hello guys! [00:56] linxeh: also fwiw you can get common lisp to run faster than C with the right compiler [00:56] [Screamo]: no, no one can help you with smb ;) [00:56] a3ist: I know [00:56] Could someone point me the best PDF visualiser of market please? [00:56] <[Screamo]> After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04, i can no longer access files from this comp on my windows xp womcp. [00:56] <[Screamo]> *comp [00:56] etate: you can get most things to do most other things if you want [00:56] Hey guys I got quite a problem. I have mdadm raid5 array with a failed drive. I went to remove the bad drive and boot the machine without it installed. Well the machine wouldnt boot up, instead it would get past bios and then just have a blinking cursor and never boots! [00:56] what do you guys think is wrong? [00:56] <[Screamo]> hd1, thats very reassuring =/ [00:56] kennyG: wtf? [00:56] k sorry Flare183, just habit to mention that since questions about grub are pretty common right now [00:56] the boot drive isnt part of the raid [00:56] a3ist: lol I understand [00:56] etate: this is getting very off topic though, and I'm getting tired and bored :p [00:57] linxeh: true, i just wouldn't like to be back to programming c or c++ for that matter... too much to write :P [00:57] etate: you win [00:57] are there any voice chatrooms in ubuntu ?

[00:57] [Screamo: I'd think there's a #samba channel or so [00:57] kennyG: seems like you're asking in the wrong channel/network [00:57] <[Screamo]> the point being it just worked before i upgraded, smae setings, but now it doesn =/ [00:57] I think it maybe grub [00:57] yes. linxeh> based JAVA [00:57] but I dont know anything about grub [00:57] mackolin: what do you want help with ?

[00:59] hi channel, I have a non ubuntu question, may I? it's c++ [00:59] reader? hehh, not sure [00:59] shohyuken: try ##c++, no? [00:59] hd1, well, obviously I wanted a PDF visualiser for Ubuntu if that's the matter... [00:59] I need help on fixing my broken dpkg database, I can't install or upgrade anything but the system still runs, It gives me an error message, Can anyone help me? [00:59] his wording sounded far from a reader :| [00:59] shohyuken: what about in ubuntu-offtopic or c++ channels ? [00:59] jrib: tried there but it keeps saying cannot send to channel [01:00] Au6042: pastebin the error message and include it in your question to the channel [01:00] kennyG: may I ask what a 'pdf visualizer' is?

[01:05] hi all what does this line mean in a shell script? trap ``1 2 3 15 18 [01:05] that doesn't make any sense [01:05] there's no man entry for trap [01:05] a3ist: did you get that? [01:05] did you plug it? [01:05] :P [01:05] linxeh: .... well.... I don't do much pdf printing :), no these days for that matter, so, I've used xpdf, is quite featureless, from what I've read Okular is pretty much the better rated, and yes, I looked at evince, I meant to install it, but then, okular ended up faring better after all [01:05] Vital{ReBorN}: he's not a native english speaker. give him a break [01:06] what time is it plz?

Sorryyyyyyyyyyyy [01:06] Does anyone know if Rhythmbox supports syncing iPhones? [01:07] onetinsoldier: so you mean trap is a system call and not a kernel command? [01:07] Vital{ReBorN}: next time check his hostname [01:07] hammer , i'm not sure [01:07] Hammer89: I think at the moment in 10.04, it will [01:07] a3ist: I haven't changed it [01:07] Next time don't bother talking to someone that apologizes to you, You'd have been better off ignoring me [01:07] mackolin: what did you try to run ? [01:07] can anyone tell me why french channel r emtpy xD [01:08] empty* [01:08] SingAlong: not sure. i think it is a system call though [01:08] Vital{ReBorN}: you had no reason to apologise? dont take offence so easily - I just pointed out he wasnt a native speaker [01:08] sebsebseb: I'm on 10.04, and it certainly recognizes the iPhone... just want to make sure it wont mess up my iPhone if I try syncing [01:08] Flare-Laptop, hmm...postbin grub.cfg and we can see if its getting the settings correctly [01:08] Hello people how I can install my language: Spanish, Panama to the system?

VOLUNTEERS.. unless you pay them, linxeh .. that, i dont know about [01:13] Krow: ahemm... you mean, you're going to install vista oem? is not installed yet right? that'll work, only thing is you'll need to put Grub back in the MBR [01:13] Lxndr: ist in the color profile. Look at yoru color preferences. The list of colors you see there, find the one that loosk like the color of you text.

There's 3 categories: text colors (foreground, background), marking text (foreground, background) and interface colors (new data, marker line, new message, away user, highlight). Which one of those do I change to change my user text? Or is there an .xchatrc sort of file I need to edit? [01:15] prettyhatem: Easiest way to check if it's a bootloader problem or not is to hold down shift during boot. If you don't see the grub menu when you do that then whatever drive you are booting from doesn't have grub installed to it.

[01:15] Because then he'd have to install windows and recover Grub [01:15] prettyhatem: You're welcome. [01:15] and I find that a terrific experience [01:16] Daekdroom: it's easier if Windows is installed first, since it does not like other operating systems [01:16] Krow: so, Vista is still installed, just no in the Grub menu? [01:16] Lxndr: its the text colors. Interface > colors > text colors (find the one you need to change and change it) [01:16] sebsebseb, yeah. That's why I asked if ubuntu was installed first. [01:16] how can I create an application that runs in terminal using PHP [01:16] Daekdroom: as a result if you put Windows on after Ubuntu, it will remove some of Grub, and only Windows will be able to boot [01:16] kyubutsu: what is your problem? I was pointing out there are lots of skilled people here. you seem to have taken offence to that for some reason? [01:16] i don't know typos [01:16] Lxndr: its the text colors. Interface > colors > text colors (find the one you need to change and change it) [01:16] Daekdroom: uh yeah and then I thought I was talking to the person heh [01:16] Krow: see what I just put to Daekdroom [01:16] ok [01:16] thx ^^ [01:17] Daekdroom: well not really heh, but anyway [01:17] Krow: you don't know if vista is installed? or ? [01:17] mackolin: what error did you get when you tried to start processing ? [01:17] linxeh: i still don't know what you talking about.. [01:17] linxeh tanks only changed permission :D [01:17] myrl: I believe you need to install the package php5-cli and then you should be able to run your php script from the terminal with "php yourscript.php" [01:17] linxeh, it's not about wether they're skilled or not. It's about that they don't get paid for staying specifically here. [01:17] Prossesing run :D:D:D:D [01:17] kyubutsu: ok, whatever [01:17] thanks [01:17] typos , i got ubuntu and nothing else [01:17] wizard_: Which option under 'text colors' do I change? I'm looking at the window right now and nothing says anything that even implies my own personal user text?

I just upgraded to 10.4 and cant find /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:25] Krow: Do you even know what Grub 2 is? [01:25] If lxndr use irc xchat gnome , i can help you ^^ i use it to [01:26] valium, xorg.conf doesn't exist anymore for quite a few updates [01:26] [01:26] valium: None by default [01:26] [01:26] wizard_: It looks very grey.

[01:26] wizard__: [01:26] sebsebseb : Explain me what is it ( i know grub is for the partition or something like this ) [01:26] I installed ac97 audio driver for linux from realtek and now I have no sound at all. went to sound preferences and hardware and now there is nothing there at all. how do i fix ?

So how to do i change settings in Xorg (as my video is now broken) [01:27] wizard__: Yes I know it can be fun to do in IRC channels a bit here and there, but this isn't really the channel, for the empty line. [01:27] sebsebseb [01:27] shouldn't have said that [01:27] is it strange that ubuntu desktop detected my NIC and internet worked right out of the box, but the server edition didn't/ [01:27] sebsebseb, it was 2 lines of blank text. Cry to somone else. [01:27] onetinsoldier, oh.. [01:27] Vital{ReBorN}: why not? [01:27] Typos: wait, then how do i go and install crap via terminal [01:27] When you tell retards what not to do that makes them wanna do it more [01:28] wizard__: Apparantly your testing something? [01:28] valium: I think if you use the ol` -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; may give you an xorg.conf file [01:28] wizard__: Which is? [01:28] Lxndr: you seem to be correct, this looks like a bug. I would report it to launchpad, because I just tried to change the colors and it did not work.

[01:28] th5418: well, if you have the .deb file -> sudo dpkg -i FILE.deb; :) [01:28] Vital{ReBorN}: if you run dpkg -L packagename you should get a list of installed files, look for an executable?

[01:31] th5418: a 'console' session is one of the default choices from the login menu [01:31] Vital{ReBorN}: It's freenode policy to try to only op yourself when needed [01:31] I accidentally am stuck with ubuntu and I need some help [01:31] typos: it is not for mee >< [01:31] ah okay [01:31] I installed opera but now I dont know how to open it :( [01:31] when no ones answer a question it means no ones knows the answer, right?

I'm sure liferea keeps that information in the .lifearea folder in your /home [01:51] i have a 1005pe and doesn't connect [01:52] Acer had used ancient hardware in that laptop for which the kernel didnt have the driver [01:52] I am using crontab from a regular user on my Ubuntu 10.04 server, 32 bit. [01:52] It's the vixie crontab I have installed.

I am using a notoriously difficult Dell Broadcom WiFi card (1505), and it's working. It's what I'm talking on right now. But it wasn't working a minute ago, and i don't know if it will work when I restart the computer. [02:01] a94060: Close all other applications that may try to use audio and play something in VLC. While it's playing see if VLC is listed in System > Preferences > Sound > Audio (it's a tab within the window) [02:01] I just installed Ubuntu last night, and just got this working today. [02:02] a94060: Sorry, I meant "Applications" tab, there is no "audio" tab :) [02:02] it lists and is on maximum [02:02] the command line should work better than through gui right [02:03] jesus_541: in reference to? [02:04] network manager. Can't connect or seem to find what is wrong [02:04] arand, I found a solution. I simpel restart will do the trick. All programs under Wine runs again!

It is working at the moment, but it seems to be intermittent. [02:09] thanks, it's the firefox that comes bundled with the new 10 release, 3.6.3 [02:10] jsharpminor: intermittent as in how? on connecting to a router or on general network usage? [02:10] is there anyway to fix this or should I assume it is a bad cd [02:10] i was thinking it might be a permissions problem, but they are installing correctly [02:10] Have you tried other plugins besides those two? [02:10] can't mp3 to play mp3 plays fine in banshee [02:10] Jordan_U, when i try to play from exaile. in that sounds window it shows a no entry icon and then it says alsa plugin[python2.6] [02:10] it's just the 2 so far [02:10] pionar: Generally intermittent. At first I thought it was a video compatibility issue, so I uninstalled both versions of the video driver I'm using. [02:10] How do I debug an Upstart job?

[02:11] Rythmbox works fine [02:11] oops sorry [02:11] I would try other plugins, just to be sure. Where did you download those plugins? [02:12] hmm Jordan_U ?

If not, I'll connect via wires. [02:18] Thanks both for the assistance. [02:18] Is there a gui for adding mounts to fstab? [02:19] Cerrdor: this is not puppy support ... drop to terminal with Ctrl-Alt- F1 [02:19] rosco_y, No, don't you think there should be though? It would make a lot of sense! [02:19] edbian: totally, I hate that file [02:19] how can i print from a printer with a dynamic ip without having to change the settings before printing each time? [02:19] rosco_y, I can help you edit it.

Have you attempted adding a line to it? [02:21] Cerrdor: let it boot, then press CTRL-Alt F1 [02:21] a94060: It is a wrapper around applications that try to use the OSS /dev/dsp interface (I'm surprised that java is doing that, but I can't think of any other way the app could cause problems) [02:21] there are so many virtual souls floating around here... [02:21] it wont boot [02:21] thats the issue [02:21] edbian: I've tried to get it working in the past, and I've been all over the board, even locked up my system at boot-up :( [02:21] ahh okay [02:21] thanks Jordan_U [02:21] I'll paste it [02:21] rosco_y, Ha ha we won't do that [02:21] Ubuntu UI wastes a lot of space, and it tries to copy the style from Mac [02:21] Ubuntu-- [02:21] a94060: You're welcome. === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [02:22] how can i print from a printer with a dynamic ip without having to change the settings before printing each time? i cant make the ip static please help [02:22] I get to the screen where I can install and everything except memtest gives me the error kernel panic not syncing no killable processes [02:22] ConfusedGirl: can we help?

I don't care. Do you want me to just write it or do you want me to teach you? [02:25] ethernet port is dead [02:25] usb will not boot [02:25] cd is my only option [02:25] Cerrdor, unetbootin [02:25] been there done that [02:25] Cerrdor: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [02:25] Cerrdor, (nice pc btw) [02:25] omfg [02:25] acerimmer, but the second part, that Ubuntu try to copy Mac style is my complain. just want to make some noise, so people know there is some complain for that [02:25] ANyone know if upstart can do user-defined conf.d style directories ? ie, does it have a "include" statement? I can't find decent docs on it [02:25] Can someone help me with a 10.04 suspension/hibernation problem [02:26] is noone listening?

[02:27] yes [02:27] Cerrdor: what version of cd did you get? [02:27] ConfusedGirl: wolframalpha.com is a computational search engine... it speaks math, which is your language? yes? [02:27] hello can anyone tell me if there is a way that a dd-wrt router can be a radius client including its dhcp and dnsmasq can be authenticated using radius against active directory----the alternative would be to setup my ubuntu box as an openradius server and setup dhcp services on it that is active directory authenticatable...anyone have any comments or ideas on the matter? [02:27] Jordan_U: can't cerrdor create a USB from the lived cd and boot that? [02:27] Cerrdor: I'm sorry, scratch that... when you click "Alternative download options," you can see on the right an "Ubuntu installer for Windows" option. [02:27] rosco_y, Also: make sure you have full permissions on the folder /mnt/sda1 [02:27] Cerrdor: It will install just like any other program. [02:28] 10.04 [02:28] ok [02:28] Cerrdor: where did you buy it from?

Do you have any questions? [02:28] Cerrdor: Do you have any OS at all on the other laptop? Does it boot to an OS, that is? [02:29] Jordan_U: ok. shoulda known u were on top of it all :) [02:29] yes [02:29] harry-houdini1: my understanding is you need a radius server running for the ddwrt to connect to to authenticate from... yes you can use AD with radius, gets confusing though, I've never needed to do it before [02:29] it currently has puppy [02:29] acerimmer, yeah i know. this isn't my area, so I'd save time and make contribution on other things [02:29] rosco_y, You should be able to edit your file to look the same and it should apply the changes as soon as the file is saved. [02:29] anthony: ask your question first than somebody may answer [02:29] GeekSquid, its swedish. [02:29] skyred: understood.

[02:35] I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, but it's just giving me errors. [02:35] I'm using sudo, but I still can't get it to work. [02:35] harry-houdini1: what about 802.1x authentication, where that is passed from the router to your server. [02:35] Oh wait [02:36] It does [02:36] :D [02:36] can anyone tell me how can i change my ip to download megaupload videos? [02:36] harry-houdini1: using pxe on top of radius, that could get interesting, how do you authenticate a system that hasn't yet booted? [02:36] ffttbb: wha-what? [02:36] how do i backup my home dir with tgz or w/e its called [02:36] SILC client has been replace by irssi-plugin-client on Lucid, I would like to know how to join a SILC server with it (/server silcserver doesn't work) [02:36] I can change my ip easyly [02:36] I just reconnect [02:37] GeekSquid, I mean everything i read indicates that its for wireless clients, 802.1x authentication what is that some sort of pass through? I need the dhcp server authenticated (stupid requirement of RIS) [02:37] But I have a dynamic ip [02:37] ffttbb: you will have to tell your router. There are many ways, but the simplest is to reset the router, thus it requests a new one via DHCP. [02:37] What do I do with a .run file? [02:38] !tar [02:38] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [02:38] foxthree: ./filename [02:38] ffttbb: Are you trying to change your local IP (on your personal / corporate network) or change your real-world IP? [02:38] you may need to chmox +x it foxthree [02:38] jahnkeanater: I am usually booting from a live CD, since there are files that are in use, when the system is running. A _very_ good idea is to have a special partition for /home. If you use ext3 you can use partimage to back the partition up [02:38] real-world IP = public IP ;) [02:38] ffttbb: And to what end? To get anonymity? [02:38] jahnkeanater: Using Tar to backup home dir - (google search of theubuntu forums) --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-274395.html [02:39] ffttbb: What sort of connection are you on? Is it a corporate/business/school/etc., or is it cable, DSL, dialup? [02:39] yes, in order to be able to make two downloads at the same ime [02:39] *time [02:39] GeekSquid I could easily fix this by using a windows dhcp server...but all i have is windows vm's no hard clients for installing this on and i need the dhcp server to always work even when the vms are down [02:39] can you help me without the url i dont have a browser right now [02:39] Ah, they limit bandwidth that they will send to 1 IP address? [02:39] cable, but with lots of pc's conected in [02:39] There is no chmox command! [02:40] Is there anyway to change size of text in pidgin [02:40] will cp work if i run it from a live cd [02:40] GeekSquid, this is in a home lab [02:40] hi [02:40] jsharpminor, [02:40] alket: sure there is... menu, tools / preferences / conversation / Font [02:41] how can I reset the menu configuration ? menus positions on the desktop. (from command line) [02:41] cause I screwed them up, putting 2 of them on top [02:41] jahnkeanater: i use cp all the time to copy my home files to other locations. You have to watch out that you dont lose the ownership of the files - depending on the filesystems you are copying to. [02:41] hello every one [02:41] harry-houdini1: 802.1x requires you to have the public key on the pxe client, whereas radius would require authentication against a number of mechanisms (i.e. active directory, mac address table, WDS,) all depending on your environment, ... the fact that your running microsoft VM's to host those apps becomes a misnomer, too many things going on for me to diagnose from here [02:41] Agu10, remove the .gnome folder? It will probably remove some other settings though [02:41] Agu10: clarify what you mean. [02:41] !resetpanel | Agu10 [02:41] Agu10: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [02:41] cant i switch the ownership tho if i lose it [02:41] Dr_Willis: which panel? [02:42] oh, good [02:42] Agu10: that resets ALL of them [02:42] thank you very much ! [02:42] it worked [02:42] GeekSquid, thanks for all the help Its appreciated [02:42] is it gonna stay like that? [02:42] jahnkeanater: of couyrse you can [02:42] ok [02:42] Agu10, Until you change it manually [02:42] Agu10: be a bit mor3e clear in the problem. we cant see your screen. === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [02:42] hmw thank you [02:43] Dr_Willis: anyways, it worked. thank you. you too, edbian [02:43] Agu10, He did all the work! :) [02:43] harry-houdini1: Hope I gave you some ideas, ... I prefer ethernet in home networks, keeps hackers out, and my net secure [02:43] !manual | Agu10 [02:43] Agu10: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:43] hah [02:43] is there any channel for anjuta..cant find one [02:44] should i backup ect also im fresh installing [02:44] GeekSquid, thanks again, its all practice for exams (redhat, cisco, and Win2k3, and Win2k8) [02:44] jahnkeanater: no [02:45] ok [02:45] My wireless card has gone back to saying "wireless is disconnected," and refusing to connect. [02:45] GeekSquid: pxe is not the only use for 802.1x: EAP passes the authentication request to the authenticator (radius, ldap, whatever). See the rfc: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3748#page-7 === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:46] Hi all, [02:46] The printer is quite old. [02:46] But I can't replace it. [02:46] does anyone know how wubi works? [02:46] Geekthras: What's your question about Wubi? [02:47] friend's computer borked when updating and won't boot linux [02:47] Geekthras: from all the problems i see with it in here..i would say 'often not very well' === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [02:47] #insanelymac [02:47] don't know where to look for the files that were on the ubuntu partition [02:47] Geekthras: yep. Seen that issue in here several times also. [02:47] Any printer ideas? [02:47] greezmunkey, would you know if the dhcp services on ubuntu or dd-wrt would fall under the umbrella of active directory authenticated through the use of a RADIUS server? [02:47] Geekthras: wubi installs all the 'linux system' into a single (i think) large file that is a 'disk image in a filesystem' [02:47] my (friend's) computer's X suddenly won't start -- mumbles about going into low-graphics mode, and then doesn't even manage that. [02:48] I'm not really sure where to start [02:48] Geekthras: i belive you can mount the file via the loopback feature of mount. (but not tried it in ages) [02:48] forko: what video card? (thats the place to start) [02:48] In latest ubuntu 64bit, can you have flash? [02:48] Dr_Willis, everything works okay when I boot from a livecd... but I'll go check [02:49] Ubuntu LTS keeps randomly shutting off my laptop. is anyone else experiencing this ? [02:49] harry-houdini1: I woudl have to look into that, but you definately need to coordinate dhcp, ldap - radius should be able to do that. [02:49] xae8koo: Yes of course [02:49] Dr_Willis: so it is in an .iso somewhere? [02:49] xae8koo: flash has worked in 64bit ubuntu for quite some time [02:49] forko: when you boot from the liveCD try and a) mount all file systems and b) make sure they have an amount of free space. [02:49] adio: what laptop and which lts? [02:49] Geekthras: the file is not using a .iso extension. its a ext2/3 filesystem in a file i recall [02:49] Geekthras: i gave up on wubi and set up a side by side dual boot because grub crashed wubi in 9.10. Also given windows' inherent file registry issues, it was a lot less trouble to just dual it up.

[02:50] Geekthras: some large file on the windows hard drive in the wubi dir perhaps. [02:50] POS Acer Aspire 4530 & the Newest LTS on ubuntu.org [02:50] Is it possible to allow anonymous guest access to a printer through samba using "security = user" mode. I don't want to use security = share because I want to have passworded shares, but I don't want to password the printer. [02:50] greezmunkey i have been looking all day for a reference to it..but no luck so far... [02:51] powertool08: i was thinking there was a special password setting for the printer. [02:51] powertool08: ive had guest ok to print setups befor. (but not right now on this box) [02:51] harry-houdini1: heh, I gat that backwards, radius would have ldap as the backend :) === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [02:52] Dr_Willis: I have guest ok = yes set, but the if I change from share to user mode the windows pc's can't see it anymore. [02:52] hi, i installed the latest ubuntu in dualboot with 8.10. now both dont boot, i get a kernek panic on both systems ,do matter what kernel i choose, in recovery mode it says i need to append "root=" to disk option, how do i do that ? [02:52] greezmunkey, got one more question any recommendations on which gnu radius server to use preferably one with a gui (this is going to be impossibly hard I would guess) [02:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/435268/ <-- whenever i am booting grub2, and i select that entry, it says that initrd is a nonexistant command (something similar to that) [02:53] I have the printer that I can't replace and it won't show up under Hardy, or so I tink. [02:53] powertool08: thers also mey be a CUPS setting. I got a new networked printer. so havent had to mess with those settings in ages. [02:53] harry-houdini1: let me get it straight first - you want to be able to authenticate wifi clients against DS(LDAP) and hand IP addresses that you can track to authenticated clients, right? [02:53] itai, open nano, and then edit the grub [02:53] It is a fixed-width serial printer. [02:53] then do grub update [02:53] powertool08: check out the using-samba book and other books in the 'samba-doc' package - those books almost always have the info i need on samba issues [02:53] Any help please. [02:54] itai, there is detailed instructions available, but I don't know off heart [02:54] greezmunkey, no simply want to get an open (dd-wrt or ubuntu dhcp server ) authorized in windows active directory (its a requirement or Remote Installation Services) [02:54] My wireless Broadcom 1505 card isn't working. Can someone please help me? [02:54] compaq, can you be more specific, the system doesn't boot, do i sue a live cd? [02:54] use.. [02:54] It works, but not with Ubuntu. [02:54] Alex_21: an actual SERIAL port printer? Egads.. that is old. [02:55] Dr_Willis: Thanks, I was not aware of the -doc pkg. [02:55] does anyone know where asterisk installs its config files by default with an apt-get install? [02:55] My Dell's wireless Broadcom 1505 card isn't working with Ubuntu. I have tried the default drivers from Dell, and no luck. [02:55] I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, but it's just giving me errors. [02:55] Yes, but not as old as you may think. [02:55] itai, when it says, root=, it should give option for command line, nano will be the minimal text editor [02:55] hello [02:55] Alex_21: i finally replaced my 14 yr old HP laserjet 6l :) [02:56] i accidently clicked "Syncronize with Ubuntu One" in Nautilus, now this symbol appears on all my files i create [02:56] what should i do to revert that operation? [02:56] It is very expensive nad can't be replaced. [02:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/435268/ <-- whenever i am booting grub2, and i select that entry, it says that initrd is a nonexistant command (something similar to that) (second time) [02:56] itai, so you can browse the directory and find you grub config file, and boot directory [02:56] I can't afford another one. [02:56] compaq what is the default boot dir ? [02:56] harry-houdini1: I see, that means you need your *nix server and or dd-wrt box to be able to join an existing AD domain - there's a puzzle. [02:56] then append to root the two kernels in boot [02:56] My Dell's wireless Broadcom 1505 card isn't working with Ubuntu. I have tried the default drivers from Dell, and no luck. [02:56] itai /boot [02:56] I'm trying to install ndiswrapper, but it's just giving me errors. [02:57] I need to get this one working. [02:57] compaq, so root=/boot? [02:57] Dr_Willis: How do I open the documentation after I install the package? [02:57] jsharpminor does lspci -vvnn | 14e4 in a terminal show a bcm4328 chipset? [02:57] powertool08: it all goes to /usr/share/doc under some sub dirs. [02:57] the only way i can figure it is radius..sigh [02:57] itai, I can give too many details cause I did't years ago. and grub is newer version, but you fing it online easily [02:57] Alex_21, what kind of printer is it? [02:57] iflema: Yes, it does. [02:57] iflema: And thanks for responding. [02:57] i updated from 9.10 to 10.04 while installing updating packages suddenly poweroff now my system is not booting what i do [02:58] hey, I've been looking around on the wiki and googling, but I'm having trouble finding solid information on the API for the new notification system I've got the basics figured out, but i'm having trouble figuring out how to show a notification without having to fallback to libnotify... [02:58] jsharpminor have you tried the b43/STA linux hybrid driver [02:58] compaq, i sent a few hours googling before i came here.... [02:58] Dr_Willis: Thanks again [02:58] bye all [02:58] Alex_21, have you tried adding the printer manually by visiting http://127.0.0.1:631/ in a web browser? [02:58] iflema: Isn't that what comes pre-packaged? [02:58] Yes. [02:58] itai, no, go to command line, ether boot it, and when it fails, hit ctrl+alt+f1 or use the live cd === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [02:58] iflema: I mean, you have to download it, but isn't it available through System -> Admin -> Hdwr Drivers? [02:59] harry-houdini1: what's wrong with this? http://andrewbevitt.com/tutorials/dd-wrt-radius-authentication-w-server-2008-r2/ [02:59] jsharpminor not sure itll offer you STA for a 4328 but it should work ok.. [02:59] If anyone has experience resetting monitor settings from terminal, I could really use the help. My box was fine, then after a reboot, I'm getting Frequency out of Range. All the help I find online talks about a tool no longer available in 10.04. =( Any help would be much appreciate. [02:59] compaq, so you think its a grub problem ?

[03:03] I can't find a driver for it. [03:03] greezmunkey, It doesnt seem like radius is included in the enterprise edition of 2003 (its a separate product I dont have ) but setup another win2k8 vm for it...hmm thats an idea, then i could keep the nix dhcp server. [03:03] itai, yeah, now you on the right track, I dont remember exactly how to do it, cause it was long time ago it happenned, but it easy, just concentrate [03:03] iflema It says that a Broadcom STA wireless driver is already installed.

Set it to use port "Serial #1", set the baud rate etc, and set it to use driver "generic". That might work, but I can't guarantee anything. [03:12] I am. [03:12] I am. [03:12] cybrocop_: dpkg -S /path/to/executable [03:12] Ok. [03:13] Under OS X it works without special drivers. [03:13] I don't know why.

[03:14] jsharpminor with ndis wrapper.... did you blacklist b43 and ssb? [03:14] No, I didn't! [03:14] Cool! [03:14] iflema [03:14] I have a wierd problem with Synaptic. When I click on it, it asks me a password and I put in a password and then it immediately quits === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [03:14] is there a way to fix that? [03:14] That sounds familiar -- it was on a page I just found. [03:14] iflema But I have no idea how to do it. [03:14] Alex_21, that probably means that it should work fine in Linux too when configured correctly. OS X and Ubuntu both use the Common Unix Printing System with the same drivers. [03:14] Can anyone help me as to why my dvd drive won't be recognized as well as anything put into my USB port? Any help is greatly appreciated. [03:14] iflema: i think with the nids setup it does the blacklisting for you [03:15] hello all [03:15] Oxford: that's normal. synaptic changes fundamental system settings. not something u wwant any user to have access to. [03:15] Alex_21, when you go to 127.0.0.1:631 in Ubuntu you should even see some text at the bottom that says "CUPS and the CUPS logo are trademarks of Apple Inc. CUPS is copyright 2007-2009 Apple Inc. All rights reserved." [03:15] hi is there a place where i can learn command lines? I'm new to it still trying to understand them [03:15] hello rick [03:15] Oxford: try it on command line and you'll probably get more information.. try --> gksu synaptic & [03:15] acerimmer, how do I add packages then? [03:15] Hello I'm trying to get the wacom pen and touch CTH-460 tablet to work on ubuntu lucid, can anyone help? [03:15] jsharpminor in a terminal more /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf do you see blacklist b43 and blacklist ssb [03:15] Oxford: after your password is confirmed u should be good to go [03:15] anyone here familiar with wifi breaking with kernel updates? [03:16] another question.. I added the -proposed branch to my /etc/apt/sources.lst... and it upgraded a bunch of packages. Is there any way I can downgrade all packages automatically? I removed the -proposed entry from sources.lst already. [03:16] it's weird because it acts like it'll connect .. but it fails.. [03:16] 3I did see it. [03:16] if I use my previous kernel.. it's fine [03:16] Tazer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom [03:16] acerimmer, its not even opening. [03:16] onetinsoldier, did that just now, get nothing back [03:16] iflema -- what's the scroll down command in more? [03:16] OSX automatically set it up. [03:16] :/ [03:16] Oxford: are u root user? [03:16] Oxford: oh? strange [03:16] jsharpminor space bar [03:16] i just get a password prompt. [03:16] . [03:16] rick what chipset? [03:16] acerimmer, no, but I have the root password [03:17] put in the password [03:17] iflema - I see nothing blacklisted regarding it. [03:17] Oxford: u gotta be a root user to use synaptic [03:17] oh [03:17] Alex_21, can't you check your OS X to see what printer driver and settings that used for the printer? [03:17] jsharpminor b43 and ssb will need blacklisting if not allready..... [03:17] iflema - wait, i found a blacklist bcm43xx [03:17] usually I can tell.. one way or another .. but I'm a bit rusty on where to look in ubuntu (and this current pc doesn't any other os to cheat) [03:18] Oxford: eay confusion. just remember root User AND Password or no root access [03:18] iflema - but no ssb is blacklisted [03:18] acerimmer, ok, let me do it as root [03:18] brb [03:18] No one knows anything about Bamboo CTH-460? [03:18] jsharpminor b43 and ssb need blacklisting for ndis wrapper to work [03:18] is there a file to look at? [03:18] iflema - how do i blacklist it?

[03:20] acerimmer: agreed, do you recall what the ubuntu 9 default theme was called? [03:20] holmser: those files are hidden for a good reason... [03:20] iflema i don't mind, you obviously know more about linux than i do [03:20] iflema - i appreciate the help [03:20] I need to edit the config files [03:20] iflema - what does blacklist ssb do? [03:20] ok.. Intel Corp Pro/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN..(rev61) [03:20] tomato: sorry I don't. but gnomeart.org (i THINK that's the place) has 1000's of themes [03:20] to get the gui working [03:21] holmser: /home enable view hidden files [03:21] already did [03:21] thanks acerimmer!

[03:41] diamondragon16: I would recommend running 8.04 LTS for stability. And with any luck, your apache configs will 'just work' on Ubuntu's version of apache. The only things I think Ubuntu might not have is 3rd. party offerings. At one time, Solaris had a huge catalog of 3rd party software that only ran on sparc Solaris. Dunno if that's still true.

[03:45] sambagirl: Many burners will 'overburn' extra data to a CD but it's unpredictable. Consider burning to DVD instead of CD... [03:45] acerimmer: not all companies create drivers for all operating systems, FYI [03:45] jsharpminor, my bad, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [03:45] same prob.. unless I need to export after adding to .bashrc (in my case) [03:45] yes [03:45] my dvd burners both of them sorta exploded [03:45] CaptainTrek: ty [03:45] uRock: i never herd of that hootplug usb should load anything as long as linux has drivers [03:45] Thanks.

[03:49] samba normally you should go through karma and jaunty to do that [03:49] iflema, are you still here? [03:49] diamondragon16: I've not done it myself, but I see quite a few hits on google under "ubuntu media streaming server". Also, consider staging a ubuntu server under vmware (or similar, if Solaris has something) and then you can try everything before you commit... [03:49] ok thanks [03:49] jsharpminor: could be multiple trasons [03:49] sambagirl: you would have to just keep upgrading or do a fresh install [03:49] very good idea. I'm going to give that a shot. [03:49] It says, "wireless is disabled" [03:49] jsharpminor: check your wireless switch on your system if you have one. [03:49] sambagirl you can go LTS->LTS but anything between you need to take every step [03:50] Yep. [03:50] jsharpminor: otherwise I'd believe it could be a dying/failing wifi card [03:50] Have it, it's on.

[03:59] jsharpminor: you can access your networking devices from the menu System - Preferences - Network Connections (including your wireless device) [03:59] gartral: I mean I used to see it until I removed it because I never could make it work. While I right clicked it it simply gave me options like quit and preference and then it said 'bluetooth' is disabled and a big button to turn it on which never worked [04:00] [1]Anthrax, com lay on the couch [04:00] Reign25: so what do you want to do with the dvd drive? [04:00] fakeer: what bluetooth hardware do you have? [04:00] <[1]Anthrax> when i use amarox it crashes === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:00] Loshki: It's not recognized in the Computer [04:01] Reign25: um, put a dvd in the drive. Does anything pop up? [04:01] how can i check my log to see what cuased my computer to shutdown suddenly? [04:01] Loshki: Along with the USB drives. [04:01] [1]Anthrax, what crashes [04:01] Loshki: Nope. [04:02] what do i do if my volume and bluetooth icons arnt showing up? [04:02] sp0: dmesg | tail -25 (for the last 25 lines) [04:02] Reign25: one thing at a time. Run dmesg again and see if it says anything about seeing the dvd (it will be near the end) [04:02] gartral: Any command to know it? [04:03] dmesg is for the current boot, i am talking about the previous boot [04:03] hyatt: how are you testing with ping? client>ubuntu>vpn>ubuntu>target-ip? [04:03] fakeer: lshw | grep blue [04:03] [1]Anthrax, does os crash of amarok [04:03] or [04:04] Are G3 macs powerpc still? [04:04] spO: was it an orderly shutdown, or did it just crash & reboot? [04:04] greezmunkey client(ubuntu) -----ping through vpn tunnel interface--------> server(ubuntu) [04:04] edbian: yes any "Gx" mac is PPC arch [04:04] Loshki: nothing different. [04:04] loshki, look, it did it without me doing anything [04:04] Is there a powerpc ubuntu? or just intel ix86 ? [04:05] Why is my wireless card working sometimes, but not always? [04:05] edbian: offically ppc ubuntu i sno longer supported BUT [04:05] I have tried everything, or so it seems. === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:05] edbian: PPC is a community maintained port [04:05] leave it to the hackers [04:05] edbian: the last PPC ubuntu i saw in the wild was 9.10.. and it's too damn big an iso for a cd.. [04:05] hyatt: you may find the answer in you iptables config. It may be a bit of a handful to weed through though! [04:05] gartral: no output. ran this with sudo. so? [04:05] I have blacklisted the different drivers, reinstalled different drivers, all with no luck. Please help!! [04:05] thanks [04:05] debian it is! :) [04:06] fakeer: tthen either your bt radio isnt talking with ubuntu, or theres another ploblem.. [04:06] Reign25: try running lsdvd .... [04:06] problem* [04:06] Loshki: how is that done? [04:06] sp0: previous boot messages are part of the current dmesg file or /var/log/dmesg.0 [04:06] My wireless card seems to work whenever it isn't on. [04:06] Why would that be? [04:06] Reign25: just open a terminal and type lsdvd :-) === e1nh4nd3r_ is now known as e1nh4nd3r [04:07] i have a disk that parted reports "partition table: loop". it works fine on one ubuntu system, but not on another (detects disk, won't see any partitions) [04:07] Can someone please help me with a wireless issue? [04:07] jsharpminor if ya have a switch... turn it on before ya boot and dont touch it... ya wireless card is ok... your computer is ok..... broadcom + linux = not ok.... they dont seem to wanna support their users or linux. [04:07] gartral: it was swithed off in Vista ( I couldn't install the bluetooth driver successfully, it requires a specific sequence of drivel install and i didn't follow it). can that be a reason - that switched off in one OS keeps off in another? [04:07] jdoelger: different versions of ubuntu on each machine? [04:08] iflema - I have done just that. [04:08] Loshki: nope [04:08] Loshki: haha k. It says it's not installed and the internet doesn't work either, but I know how to fix that and I just need to fix this first ;) [04:08] <{C}ronos> Is there a way to change read/write permissions to everything in a directory? [04:08] <{C}ronos> not just one thing at a time [04:08] yes [04:08] iflema - When I switch it off, it says "disconnected" [04:08] iflema - But if it's on, it says "wireless is disabled" [04:09] iflema - That's about all that I've figured out. [04:09] Reign25: um, fix the internet first? Or do you need the dvd to fix the internet? [04:09] where can I find a non-GUI installer of 10.04 LTS, the GUI is unstable using default drivers for my system [04:09] Loshki: both 9.10 [04:09] fakeer: in that case.. it's probably the bluetooth radio has a propriotary driver... it will never work with linux.. i could point you too a cheap, good alternative that i know works in ubuntu [04:09] {C}ronos: chmod -R -options /path/to/ [04:10] dtminsk: the alternative install cd is gui - I believe [04:10] jdoelger: same version of parted in each case? What does gparted say about the disk? [04:10] Loshki: I need to dvd to install the broadcom driver. [04:10] {C}ronos: you would need to fill in the 'options', and obviously, the [04:10] gartral: but it worked in 8.10 and before.. it stopped working after 9.04 .. telling you the driver make adn other details would help? i can look up and find my manual.. [04:10] !pm | dtminsk [04:10] dtminsk: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [04:10] <{C}ronos> onetinsoldier, thank you for the help! [04:10] Loshki: i can only terminal in to the one that's not seeing the disk. fdisk gives errors and detects four partitions, parted detects the one [04:11] <{C}ronos> onetinsoldier, ill try it out now [04:11] {C}ronos: you're welcome.. see the chmod man page. it might help more.... man chmod [04:11] Reign25: so it's a data dvd you inserted? If so, try and mount it: sudo mount /dev/scd0 [04:11] dtminsk: i368: ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso is the name of the iso. [04:11] #ubuntu-bugs [04:12] I installed ubuntu server from a USB disk. I need to enable the disk as a repository to install something. How can i do thaT? [04:12] greezmunkey: ahh okay [04:12] gartral: "Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Module (Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR)" does it help? [04:12] <{C}ronos> onetinsoldier, dont know why i didnt think of that lol [04:12] Loshki: It says it can't find it === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:12] dtminsk: is at www.ubuntu.com [04:12] jdoelger: if I were you, I would mount the disk in the machine that works, and pull off anything you can't live without, since the disk is (in my opinion) no longer trustworthy. Then wipe the disk and use it only as scratch space... [04:12] fakeer: yes.. hold on [04:12] {C}ronos: no problem :-) [04:13] <__taco> my broadcom bcm4312 wireless card don't works on my Ubuntu-9.04, how to fix it? [04:13] Loshki: I can do it through a flash drive as well if your lost on the dvd drive, but the flash drive is unrecognizable as well [04:13] hmm, bit of a lightning storm here, ups is kicking in and out. Gotta go. [04:13] Does anybody know why network manager sometimes lists different SSIDs in a different range? For example, theres 2 networks int he area. Lets call them Corvette and Mustang. Im connected to mine - Corvette. It comes up as Connected - Corvette. Available - Mustang. If I continuously click NM now and then, all of the sudden (while still connected) Corvette AND Mustang will be listed as available even tho Im still connected to corvette. An [04:13] y idea why itll throw my SSID around like that to what Im connected to vs whats available? [04:14] <{C}ronos> onetinsoldier, yes it worked perfectly. I had like 100 html files on my new web server, and didnt want to go through all of them lol [04:15] Loshki: theres nothing really important on there, it's a 360gb 2.5" disk that i'm using part of for xbox360 memory, and has seemed like it's holding up okay. I can wipe it and re-do the xbox configuring, but i'm lazy and wanted to know if there was a quick fix. just was confused as how it would work fine on two devices (one ubuntu) but not another ubuntu install [04:15] Reign25: odd that both devices aren't working. The internal dvd is presumably either IDE or SATA, nothing to do with your USB devices.... [04:15] {C}ronos: cool. glad to hear it worked and i could help. you might want to check the permissions of the directory and make sure it's what you want for the directory itself [04:15] Roasted: Did you defined a connection into the Network Manager ? [04:16] Loshki: I know. I'm stumped. Again, it works in Live === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:17] jdoelger: I can't explain it either, unless the partitioners are different versions. Can you access SMART data for the drive and see if anything looks odd? [04:17] <{C}ronos> onetinsoldier, I used "chmod -R 755 /var/www/" [04:17] CubBuntoo, `what do you mean by defining a connection? its my AP - the same one Ive used for the last year or so [04:17] Loshki: good idea, i'll check [04:17] {C}ronos: roger. i that would make 'www' have 755 [04:17] Reign25: so was this a new install? Anything unusual about your hardware? Which OS version? [04:18] Just installed it. When it dual booted with Windows (installed wubi), it all worked fine. [04:18] {C}ronos: just letting you know in case that's not what you want [04:18] Loshki: 10.04 [04:18] hey [04:19] do you know gedit has speel check function that scans all document automatically [04:19] Reign25: so it's a 10.04 wubi install? [04:19] Loshki: say's device does not support smart.... hmm [04:19] <{C}ronos> onetinsoldier, Thanks for the help. see you later! [04:20] jdoelger: I'd say that's a sick drive. Put it out to pasture...? [04:20] Loshki: i guess i may have to. thanks for the help! [04:20] Roasted: It seems other "New Wireless connection" interfering with your current connection. [04:20] jdoelger: sorry the news wasn't better... [04:20] Loshki: Not anymore no. I did a full install with a cd. [04:20] Loshki: meh disks are cheap [04:20] CubBuntoo, I dont know how it could be. This is how network manager acts whether Im at work, home, friends house, etc [04:21] Loshki: that's when the issues arose. === jesse__ is now known as Guest81811 [04:21] jdoelger: my feelings exactly. Disk is cheap, data expensive... [04:21] #ubuntu.mx === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ === Guest81811 is now known as Flare-Laptop [04:22] someone knows that [04:22] gartral: I found a link where instruction is to download a Vista utility and use to reenable bluetooth in Vista and then come back to Ubuntu. Here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [04:22] Reign25: would you consider reinstalling? Obviously the hardware is ok, or the live cd wouldn't work. Maybe something went wrong in the installation? [04:22] hey all, i have a common problem that i need tops for; slow flash games and videos... suggestions? [04:22] tips* [04:23] Roasted: my bad. I must had confused something. [04:23] Hello everyone. I am having a problem installing webcontentcontrol on Karmic. I get an error message when I am trying to run make that says "/bin/bash: gbc2: command not found make: *** [all] Error 127". Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this command? [04:23] hi guys. is anyone able to help me with some libvirt networking, please? [04:23] is anybody running on wireless with more than 1 SSID in the area? If so, click on your NM applet over and over and over and over again. Does your SSID bounce from "available" to "connected to" even though you never lose connection? [04:23] Loshki: I did that :/ [04:23] kazadagu: you got make installed? [04:23] eject command not eject the cdrom [04:23] Reign25: you're saying you've already tried reinstalling? [04:24] simple question is it even possible to create a ad-hoc whit ICS in ubuntu lucid? [04:24] I change the dvdrom and now i cant eject [04:24] BalSak: yes. it says I have the latest version installed [04:24] with the "eject" command [04:24] sorry all I've been workin on my explosion proof desktop case . [04:24] Loshki: Yup. [04:24] kazadagu: sorry, can't help you then [04:24] twiztid, still having issues? [04:24] dont' know enough [04:25] is there a FLASH channel; or is any one else experiencing poor flash performance in either video or game? [04:25] phantom111212: yes, baaaad flash... [04:25] I booted with a usb stick in but i dont see it listed when i type 'mount'. how can i mount this stick? [04:25] anyone helpme? [04:25] twiztid, so you installed flash already? [04:25] lyrae: `sudo fdisk -l` to list it, & then mount [04:25] BalSak: I don't know what gbc2 even is or what package it's from. Can you tell me if you know a way to find out? [04:25] phantom111212: ya flash 10... [04:26] Reign25: bummer. All I can suggest at this stage is that you try a different release then (8.04 ?) or (gag) to back to wubi, or wait for someone smarter than me to help you.... [04:26] phantom111212: i also disabled ipv6, enabled pipelining, and increased max requestes to 10 [04:26] twiztid, and you are running ubuntu 10.04? [04:26] phantom111212: yup [04:26] kazadagu: you'll have to google it. usually packages ave a PPA site dor more info [04:26] twiztid, have yyou had a previous ubuntu installed? [04:27] Hey I was hoping I could get some help: I have two Ubuntu servers operating on a network - they can't see each other, but every other computer on the network can see both of them [04:27] Loshki: Haha the cloud features drew me to this release. I'll have to post in the forums. Thanks for all your help though! I appreciate it. [04:27] phantom111212: nope this is a fresh install [04:27] Reign25: best of luck... [04:27] hi guys, i need your help , i was compiling a kernel for my netbook i was using ubuntu 10.04 the problem is that the kernel dont recognize my sda disk , helpme please [04:27] I used the 32 bit minimal cd on a 64bit CPU and got 64bit installed, can i force 32bit somehow? [04:27] BalSak, many thanks [04:27] Reign25: Is udev running? [04:27] twiztid, what video card you running? [04:27] phantom111212: karmic's flash was ok, but would much rather stick with lucid and hopefully get flash working (crosses fingers) [04:27] lyrae: hope you win [04:28] phantom111212: its a 512mb ati radeon x1300 agp card [04:28] Jordan_U: What's that? lol [04:28] gartral: I am booting into Vista and I will be back after reenabling Bluetooth. sorry to leave in the middle.. [04:28] phantom111212: very dusty lol [04:28] BalSak, not likely [04:28] twiztid, should be fine though, let me ask you, did you already install java? [04:28] this lucid is starting to feel very un lucid been trying to get a simple ad-hoc to work for over 10 hours === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:29] Reign25: It's what detects and sets up hardware.

[04:29] i am here to support my website [04:29] i have the error disk drive for / is not present [04:29] Any help on my issue anyone? I have two Ubuntu servers operating on a network - they can't see each other, but every other computer on the network can see both of them [04:29] is anyone here familiar with libvirt networking & NAT, please? [04:30] i only can enter to the system in read-only mode [04:30] Reign25: You can check if it's running with "pgrep udev" (if numers are printed udev is running) [04:30] rpgsimmaster: gateway & default routing [04:30] Jordan_U: Could you guide me through that please?

[04:32] rpgsimmaster: actually the real question is what are you using to determine they cant talk to each other? ping or something higher level? [04:32] rpgsimmaster: `route` [04:32] Docteh: Ping, SCP, etc. [04:32] twiztid, this is what i recomend: (getting it) [04:32] rpgsimmaster: & check ufw on both [04:32] Balsak: Checking my routing now [04:32] phantom111212: PPA? [04:32] ufw is correct (99% sure) === Peanut__ is now known as jabirali [04:32] Jordan_U: bareb udev?

[04:33] twiztid, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu.html [04:33] rpgsimmaster: hi. i haven't been following what's going on, but are these both linux machines? === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:34] Reign25: You can check if it's running with "pgrep udev" (if numers are printed udev is running) [04:34] phantom111212: awesome ill read over and install java, and brb with results... thx! [04:34] onetinsoldier: Ubuntu 8.04 [04:34] Server [04:34] its just a command [04:34] twiztid, its just the command in there [04:34] rpgsimmaster: ah, roger... [04:35] rpgsimmaster: you might try, installing iptraf on both systems and watching it [04:35] phantom111212: i8 its d/l'ing [04:36] twiztid, good. that will prob fix your issue. [04:36] how does iptraf compare to wireshark [04:36] twiztid, essentials: (to me) java, flash, amsn, emese, vlc, and more lol [04:37] How do i add my usb disk to the repository list? [04:37] rpgsimmaster: or use the builtin Network Tools - Traceroute [04:37] also regarding my problem, [04:37] CubBuntoo: How can I traceroute if they can't even resolve to each other? [04:38] rpgsimmaster: it should be one hop anyways, its just another way to see if anything hinky is with routing rules === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:38] Anyone know why i would have 2 commands in my startup applications preferences one is sh -c 'test -e /var/cache/jockey/check || exec jockey-kde --check 60' and the other is sh -c 'test -e /var/cache/jockey/check || exec jockey-kde --check' whats the difference and or do I need both? [04:38] My computer rebooted by himself [04:38] with no reason that I know [04:38] phantom111212: i would love for you to help me with a perfect system... lol, im CONSTANTLY trying to make it faster all around... [04:38] rpgsimmaster: you will see at which hop you ping is stopping [04:38] Docteh: It is one hop from my workstation (and other workstations) [04:38] Hoe do I see some traces, logs about why he did that [04:38] noone was logged on it at that time [04:38] rpgsimmaster: exactly [04:38] Docteh: haven't used wireshark, but pretty sure it's not really the same thing. iptraf doesn't really get inside the packets and show that info. it just shows how they're being delivered [04:38] oic [04:39] twiztid, im a noobi, lol, i just search in google what I need, but coming from windows i know that there are some essentials, and i though they apply in ubuntu :) [04:39] What is the best way to convert images to PDF? [04:39] CubBuntoo: That's no use - it's one hop straight through a switch, only it's *not finding it* [04:39] red2kic: "print" to pdf [04:39] how do i get the menu in grub to select the kernel to boot? [04:39] And it's not the switch - the servers can patched anywhere in the network, and are still found by the workstations, but not by each other [04:39] Hilikus: Hold shift during boot [04:40] Jordan_U: Sorry, but when you type the command, the letters don't show up (before udev). I'm trying to google the command now [04:40] thanks Jordan_U [04:40] BalSak: Oh that works. Any chance for CLI? [04:40] hi [04:40] Reign25: pgrep udev [04:40] aight i,ll just toss out the laptop and go get drunk and order a usb wierd adapter [04:41] phantom111212: same here, (having an affair with ubuntu... piss off xp) lol yea i read alot of tutorials n stuff too... im thinkin about takin a linux class er somthin... [04:41] Jordan_U: thank you! haha Numbers are showing, yes. [04:41] rpgsimmaster: could be hardware problem :-/ [04:41] rpgsimmaster: you tried the reverse ? to ping your client from the server ? [04:41] twiztid, what I recomend is get your ubuntu to do what you do in windows......take it from there. [04:41] CubBuntoo no issues there [04:41] The servers can ping workstations and other devices just fine [04:42] It's really annoying me [04:42] what filesystem should i be using on my partitions if this is just a desktop/gaming machine, i used ext4? [04:42] Jordan_U: So yes, udev is running [04:42] It's a pain, because I need to SCP several Gigabytes of data between the two, but I can't if they won't see each other [04:42] Reign25: Could you pastebin the output of "lshw"? [04:42] dzlterm: you used ext4? sounds good... [04:42] dzlterm: ext4 is new fangled enough for a desktop [04:42] phantom111212: ya i have it looking REAL close to windows 7 + compiz; jus crappy flash, h.264 sux and games suck lol === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [04:43] Balsak: What would I be looking to add to my routing table? [04:43] whats the diff between ext2 ext3 and ext4 [04:43] Jordan_U: I'd have to type it. one sec [04:43] phantom111212: ok its done installing, should i restart firefox? [04:43] dzlterm: we're not wikipedia [04:43] twiztid, yeap [04:43] gartral: Hey .. got it.. it's working.. [04:43] well sorry man [04:43] fuckin snob [04:43] rpgsimmaster: pastebin route -n [04:43] i was just being nice dude [04:43] twiztid: what sucks about the h.264? [04:43] asking a simple question [04:43] dzlterm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:43] gartral: just had to reenable the device in vista [04:43] Reign25: You're going to need much more patience than I have to type all that :) [04:43] Docteh: One moment [04:43] onetinsoldier: very choppy [04:44] fakeer: you got it working? [04:44] sorry [04:44] dzlterm: its blah blah blah technical stuff, wikipedia actually has a nice summary [04:44] bye [04:44] dzlterm: Docteh is right, check Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [04:44] twiztid: A kitten dies every time anyone thinks about making their linux system look like windoze [04:44] Reign25: You can't connect that machine to the internet?

[05:18] lyrae: Reign25: Are you using Ubuntu 10.04? [05:18] hey [05:18] douglas, you could create a new group called "launchers" or something like that, and a put a new user in that group [05:18] can anyone tell me how to make everything bigger? [05:18] Jordan_U, yes, but server edition [05:18] i just got this o/s [05:18] Jordan_U: K thanks. Let me copy from the cd now [05:19] douglas, you could then change the permissions of certain software to only allow people in the "launchers" group to execute them [05:19] douglas, e.g. /usr/bin/evince on my system has permissions -rwxr-xr-x, which means that owner, group and everyone else can execute it. === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [05:19] Reign25: I think you may have misunderstood my earlier comments, the Ubuntu CD does not normally include the broadcom firmware for legal reasons. [05:20] hi, how can i get thunderbird in the mail indicator applet [05:20] douglas, if you change the group to "launchers", and set permissions to -rwxr-x---, then only the people in "launchers" can execute that application [05:20] ufw: how have the command look like when i want to allow Port 1090 only to the network 10.5.0.0 [05:20] how do i change the resolution?!?!?! [05:20] Reign25: Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean :) [05:20] linuxRookie, system -> preferences -> Monitor [05:20] is it possible that installing virtualbox slows down the system, even when it isn't running?

So how am I supposed to get these drivers? from where? [05:21] when gnome automatically mounts SMB mounts, where do they get put? [05:21] douglas, you can then modify the icons used to launch that app to run "gksu -u username /usr/bin/evince" to graphically ask for the password of "username" when you try to launch evince, and let all your blocked apps be run by "username" in the group "launchers" instead of your usual user [05:22] douglas, this should work, but it sounds terribly overcomplicated :). Why do you need this? [05:23] how do I get the text under an icon in gnome to wrap tighter? IE not >.....< but >..< before it starts a new line.

[05:27] nanotube, after a quick google, it seems like AppArmor is some kind of Access Control List implementation, is this correct?

[05:28] nanotube, I can certainly see how access control lists can solve the problem more easily. Instead of adding a "launchers" group, you could simply strip executable rights to certain apps from a certain user instead, and let that user use e.g. gksu to launch the app as another user. [05:28] jabirali: yea i think so. i haven't used it myself, just heard of it.

[05:33] Reign25: Mount your Ubuntu partition to /mnt then cd to the directory with the files and run "sudo tar -x -C /mnt/lib/firmware/ -f b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz && sudo tar -x -C /mnt/lib/firmware/ -f b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz" [05:34] apologies if this is OT, but what is the appropriate chan to talk to someone about lanscape(.canonical.com) [05:34] Jordan_U, cp b43-firmware-lucid-tar.gz /lib/firmware/b43 ? [05:34] is there anyway i can have thunderbird listed in the email indicator [05:34] ridin, no [05:34] ok [05:34] ridin, I believe there are plans for a thunderbird plugin, but according to the web page the indicator applet doesn't have one yet [05:34] Reign25: cd to the directory with the files and run "sudo tar -x -C /lib/firmware/ -f b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz && sudo tar -x -C /lib/firmware/ -f b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz" === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [05:35] is there anyway i can remove the mail button in the mail button in the mail indicator [05:35] (hoped that made sense [05:35] ) [05:35] Jordan_U: in Live, correct? [05:35] Reign25: Ignore that last comment, it was for lyrae [05:35] ah ok [05:36] Jordan_U: I'm sorry, but what would be the exact way to /mnt it? [05:36] Jordan_U, do i need legacy? i know my version of the HD doeasnt fall within the legacy [05:36] i was reading upon it ealier [05:36] lyrae: Then no, you don't. [05:36] ridin, do you have anything else there than mail icon and volume control? [05:37] ok [05:37] ok, extracted [05:37] jabirali, network manager, xchat, time and date, my user name and the power button [05:37] ridin, that's a "no" ;) [05:37] Reign25: Is your Ubuntu partition /dev/sda1? (if you don't know you can probaby get a good idea by running "sudo blkid") [05:37] ridin, the things you listed are separate applets [05:38] lyrae: sudo rmmod b43 && sudo modprobe b43 [05:38] well, it looked like it was all together [05:38] so '^' [05:38] ridin, you can remove the indicator applet from the panel, and make the command "gnome-volume-control-applet" run at startup to bring back the volume control [05:38] Jordan_U, done [05:38] ridin, try pressing Alt+F2 and enter "gnome-volume-control-applet" [05:38] I am having a problem where sound will work for some time after starting the computer but after a bit it will just not work on anything. I have checked everything I could find to see if it was muted anywhere but to no avail. Is there any way to get sound to work at all times? [05:38] lyrae: Hopefully you now have a wlan0 interface :) [05:39] Jordan_U, well yes. but it shows the same thing as it always did [05:39] ridin, do you now have 2 volume control applets on the panel? [05:39] jabirali, only one [05:40] ridin, after running the command you still have only one? What version are you running? [05:40] i hate git [05:40] 10.04 [05:40] Jordan_U, http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/5117/photogp.jpg [05:40] i removed the other applet... [05:40] ridin, aha, then you should only have one :) [05:40] lyrae: and "iwlist scan"? [05:41] Jordan_U, network is down =| [05:41] Jordan_U, let me try plugging in an ethernet cord. brb [05:41] ridin, as long as you make "gnome-volume-control-applet" autostart in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, the indicator applet is useless if you don't use it the mail icon ;) === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [05:41] kjbbb, what's wrong with git? :P [05:42] it confuses me [05:42] how? [05:42] I'm having difficulties using gloobus. I installed the PPA and installed the package. Then I added "gloobus-preview" to the startup programs. I then resptarted my computer. Gloobus will not run. Help? [05:42] If you're new, you should take a look at the Git Community Book ;) [05:42] kjbbb: git is nice. don't diss the git. :) [05:42] kjbbb, http://book.git-scm.com/ [05:43] Jordan_U, now its saying module b43 not found [05:43] * jabirali agrees (violently) with nanotube [05:43] when modprobe'ing [05:43] jabirali, i restarted the indicator applet, and now i have 2 sound indicators, how can i remove the one you told me [05:43] * nanotube sidles away from jabirali, just in case. :) [05:43] tim: Have you tried running gloobus from the command line to check for error codes? [05:44] ridin: OK, press Alt+F2 and enter "killall -9 gnome-volume-control-applet" [05:44] Jordan_U: Oh man. Now my dvd nor usb drives are showing in Live...this is ridiculous :( [05:44] hehe :P [05:44] chase__: Yes. I ran "gloobus-preview" and the window pops up and says "there is no file in clipboard", [05:45] I'm trying to run djb's daemontools under a mostly stock Ubuntu 9.10 machine. A quick Google mostly reveals pages recommending that I create config files in /etc/event.d, which doesn't exist on this machine. Is it enough to just create /etc/event.d or do I need to install upstart? [05:45] hi all [05:45] hey, its-me-again [05:45] :) === TriMe__ is now known as TriMe [05:46] i want to know if there is an easier way to manually add entries in grub 2. i prefer how grub1 worked. === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [05:46] lyrae: Could you reboot and pastebin the output of "dmesg" right after booting? [05:46] its-me-again, compared to editing /etc/grub.d/40_custom ? [05:46] grub1 was so easy to compile just one menu.list file [05:46] make_chroot: i686 is not supported as a host machine architecture. [05:47] its-me-again: tell me about it. No, there's no easier way.... [05:47] jabirali, how do i restore the xchat system tray icon [05:47] hi [05:47] I have a little question for any body willing to answer [05:47] its-me-again: One file with comments-that-aren't-really-comments and areas that would be silently overwritten by update-grub... [05:47] its-me-again, you only _need_ /boot/grub.cfg, which can be about as minimalistic as menu.lst, it's Ubuntu that makes it compilcated :) [05:47] well i have had problems in past with messing around with grub2 its not as userfriendly to use adn grub though [05:47] I have a little question for any body willing to answer [05:47] chase__: any suggestions? [05:48] RobertSaganek: Just ask away! [05:48] jabirali: yes i figured. i have another linux os that i could not configure for grub 2 [05:48] so i went happily back to ubuntu 8.04 [05:48] adn no problems [05:48] Tim: I think gloobus-preview has to be run for each file, not at startup, but could be wrong. [05:49] tim: I don't use it, but, I tested it, and used a keybinding and it worked. [05:49] how do you end up supporting ubuntu/kubuntu and actually get paid to do so bacause i'm cerified [05:49] ridin, that one shouldn't have disappeared by just removing the indicator applet, I guess you removed more applets... Right-click panel, add to panel, notification area [05:49] RobertSaganek: you need too talk to a cononical corporate sponser [05:50] ok, brb [05:50] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/k8uhGRRK [05:50] its-me-again, you can still install grub1 from the official ubuntu repositories [05:50] its-me-again, it's just that grub2 is the default choice now === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [05:51] Jordan_U, sudo modprobe 43 gave no errors now [05:51] chase__: Ok. Can I ask what your keybinding is?] === jay is now known as Guest47477 [05:51] its-me-again, grub2 is still considered beta upstream, version 1.98 now :P [05:51] hello all [05:51] its-me-again, but anyway, configuring the other linux distro to boot from grub2 should be doable... [05:52] its-me-again, just remember to put it in /etc/grub.d/40_custom to prevent the Ubuntu automagic utilities from overwriting your changes when you install a new kernel [05:52] lyrae: And "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && iwlist scan"? [05:52] guys, its better install the ATI drivers from their page or the linux ones (Proprietary Linux drivers)? [05:53] its-me-again, and of course the format is changed now :-/ [05:53] tim: I was using ctrl+space I think. In stock ubuntu you'd set it up in the compiz manager. [05:53] jabirali: update-grub should also detect other distros automatically [05:53] tim: Then, you can use the binding in nautilus to preview a file. [05:53] Josesordo: for Lucid? for now, install the ones offered by the system. they are the lastest available at this time [05:53] Jordan_U, OK thanks, I did not know that. [05:54] I gotta question for WoW and vent using Wine and the audio streams. My ventrilo works just fine, but i've never heard a peep from the actual game, any thoughts?I'm using a USb headset for both vent and WoW, and i'm using the new ubuntu release :) [05:54] jabirali: You're welcome [05:54] Josesordo: otherwise, i recommend you follow a guide to make .deb packages from the driver you download from ATI [05:54] chase__: Ok. What's the command? "gloobus-preview" and then what't the 'location' command? [05:54] !ati | Josesordo [05:54] Josesordo: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:55] well, I downloaded the SH from ATI... [05:55] and yes, its for 10.04 LTSX [05:55] *LTS* [05:55] Josesordo: then no, don't download the .run file [05:56] Reign25: Try rebooting the LiveCD. If it worked once it should work again. (especially if it's a race condition) [05:56] Josesordo: go here... System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers [05:56] Josesordo: That is not the recommended way to install the ATI drivers [05:56] Damn..then I did a mistake.. oops [05:57] how to uninstall the .run file? [05:57] Jordan_U: Did that :/ Didn't work so I'm actually attempting another re-installation. It's almost done. We'll see what happens I guess. [05:57] Josesordo: oh boy [05:57] tim: One sec, been a while, trying to figure it out again. [05:57] chase__: Thanks! [05:58] Josesordo: don't know === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [05:58] lyrae: And "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up && iwlist scan"? (in case you missed it) [05:58] damn, I didnt know it T_T [05:59] so, Now I have a problem with the graphics.. :( [05:59] Josesordo: i hear you. i understand... but don't know how to help really [05:59] i'm trying to download some dependancies manually and i need lib52, however the one i got is the wrong architechture, can someone help me work out which one i need? [05:59] mm.. well, someday I will figure out.. at least is just the graphic o_O [05:59] Josesordo: see if it has a --uninstall switch or something [05:59] Josesordo: jst make sure you follow this guide in the future --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:00] just* [06:00] jabirali: What are you actually trying to install? [06:00] Josesordo: sudo sh whatever.run --uninstall [06:00] jordan, vlc via a .deb file, i am doing it this way because my laptop currently cannot have access to internet [06:00] now, other question: can I put some pretty cool themes in GRUB2? [06:00] yikes [06:00] hi. i was using synaptic from a proxy network. but now i'm in a direct connection setup. tried restoring the proxy configurations but seems they are not getting applied. what to do [06:00] ? [06:01] greezmunkey: hello :-) what's up? [06:01] histo: I will try that later :D ..thx [06:01] onetinsoldier: not much, lightning is over (not much of a show) [06:01] greezmunkey: ahh, roger [06:01] !offline | Jaikkuli [06:01] Jaikkuli: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [06:02] greezmunkey: well, you made it sound like you must have at least one close one! [06:02] Jordan_U, how useful, thanks i will try that [06:02] onetinsoldier: yeah, the power is still flickering a bit here. [06:02] Jaikkuli: You're welcome. [06:02] onetinsoldier: all i can say is *ups* [06:02] can someone help me remove Kde Ubuntu. [06:03] Jaikkuli: you can apt-get -d packagename will download the package [06:03] greezmunkey: roger that. i don't have one myself [06:03] well, Im going to sleep.. Good Night all ^^ [06:03] Hopeless8009: what do you mean you want to get rid of kde and go to gnome or something else? [06:03] yes i want to have gnome [06:03] Hi all!!! How do i detach wget from terminal?? i want it to run in the background [06:03] im in gnome [06:03] Hopeless8009: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [06:04] right now [06:04] Jordan_U, vlc is not listed in the synaptic [06:04] Hopeless8009: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [06:04] sorry [06:04] !removekde | Hopeless8009 [06:04] Hopeless8009: Want to remove gnome/kde/xfce completely? Look at debfoster, it's a great help [06:04] onetinsoldier: I have a little 500 that I was given, hot-rodded it wiht more batteries.. Run time with this box and monitor is about 40 minutes. [06:04] gartral: that will just get rid of the kubuntu meta package [06:04] gartral: do i run thows commands seperate [06:04] and with first [06:05] Jaikkuli: Use http://apt.alturl.com/ . The problem is that you don't have universe enabled, and you can't enable it without internet. [06:05] tim: It looks like gloobus should have patched nautilus. Try just hitting space on selected files? [06:06] greezmunkey: sounds nice :-) [06:07] onetinsoldier: eh, it works for now - free too. [06:07] :-) [06:07] chase__: Yes, but it opens with the default program. Do I have to change every file extension to "open with gloobus-preview"? [06:07] hi, so.. I just installed 9.10 on a fakeraid setup, which installed ok, but on reboot grub2 fails saying it can't find the /dev/mapper/ partition it's looking for and just dumps me at an initramfs prompt [06:07] any pointers? [06:08] how can i force an umount to an smb share, when it sais "device busy" .. .i tried umount -f already [06:08] Smeh: That's not a grub problem, that's a kernel / initramfs problem [06:08] tim: No, it -should- be the default by default. Not for me, either, but its supposed to be. [06:08] Smeh: Is there a reason you're using fakeraid rather than plain software raid? [06:09] chase__: Hmm... Should we report a bug? [06:09] Jordan_U : not really, but it's not an exceptionally powerful machine [06:09] tim: I'll be right back. Rebooting quickly to see if it changes anything. [06:09] 1.6ghz n330. You'd reccomend going with softraid anyway? [06:09] Smeh: can you pass the nodmraid option at grub to the kernel [06:09] Smeh: There's a reason they call it _fake_raid, either way it's all being done through the CPU [06:10] im still having trouble removing Kde [06:10] i was under the impression the fakeraids required slightly less cpu load, not sure why [06:10] chase__: Ok. [06:10] but yes i can re-try it with just a soft raid i guess [06:10] as of now i have both kde and gnome installed [06:10] Hopeless8009: did you get the message from ubottu [06:10] !removekde | Hopeless8009 [06:10] Hopeless8009: Want to remove gnome/kde/xfce completely? Look at debfoster, it's a great help [06:11] Jordan_U, I saw you sent me a question... I'm not trying to install anything, I think you got the wrong guy :P [06:11] how do i get that [06:11] jabirali: Sorry :) [06:11] Hopeless8009: here is a forum post you want scenario 5 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24403 === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:12] Jordan_U, thanks, this has given me some results, however i cannot find libass4 on this page.. i have found it elsewhere, but i must know which arch to pick [06:12] and there is many [06:12] how to create a pdf file with internal document links in ubuntu. i.e the document links to itself but to different portions when clicked on a text??

[06:14] Hopeless8009: much easier copy and paste the command in to terminal [06:14] Hopeless8009: yes I under stand what you are saying. [06:14] tim: hrm, nothing. [06:14] dugger5688: Lulz.

[06:17] ok im going to use the one that removes kubuntu [06:17] Hopeless8009: then click on applications > accesories > terminal [06:17] tim: The patched nautilus hasn't been ported to Lucid yet it seems. Its not in the Lucid PPA, just the karmic one. [06:18] Jordan_U: I re-installed it and still the same things. Live still doesn't recognize my dvd drive nor usb anymore. [06:18] Hopeless8009: make sure you use the last link I sent you that is directions for 9.10 [06:18] Jordan_U, OK sure [06:18] Chase-: So gloobus-preview on Lucid is broken? [06:18] !info gloobus-preview [06:18] Package gloobus-preview does not exist in lucid [06:18] tim: Not broken, just not properly configured. [06:18] LSD [06:19] Chase-: So wht can we do? [06:19] Chase-: what is gloobus preview? [06:19] How do I find out what the dev ID for my screen is? [06:19] how do i get internet explorer to work in wine? [06:19] the psychocats.net one [06:19] kevinrogers77771: ies4linux [06:19] histo: It's a bit like OSX's quickview. [06:20] should try playonlinux its working good for me [06:20] tim: Nautilus-Elementary is the easiest way. It is prepatched I think. Could install it. [06:20] should try playonlinux its working good for me [06:20] tim: Or, manually set it up. I've seen some guides just seem a bit annoying. [06:20] Chase-: Is that in the same PPA? [06:20] histo: A file previewer. [06:20] tim: No. [06:20] xorwhy: try --> tty [06:21] onetinsoldier: output was /dev/pts/1. Is that correct? [06:21] Hi. [06:21] xorwhy: should be, yes. [06:21] tim: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa [06:21] I am having a really strange problem right now. I keep getting a warning message about low space on my hard drive [06:21] Hopeless8009: the puregnomekarmic one [06:21] holmser, and you aren't? [06:22] Hopeless8009: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnomekarmic [06:22] holmser do you have room on your hard drive [06:22] So I just went and deleted 20 gigs of filles [06:22] now I am down to 5 gigs in 2 days [06:22] holmser, you remembered to empty trash? ;) [06:23] yeah [06:23] holmser, Applications -> Accessories -> Disk Usage Analyzer [06:23] onetinsoldier: I should have been more specific, what I'm actually looking for is the hardware device name, like for a mouse it could be /dev/mouse0 [06:23] Anyone have a moment to help me with a audio issue? [06:23] something is writing a lot of data to my drive === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:23] Chase-: Thanks. Updating and installing now. [06:23] holmser, that app should help you figure out what is using all your space [06:24] I do know the BusID, is there a way I can, by using the BusID determine the hardware dev name? [06:24] its really strange, because all of my downloads go to a different drive [06:24] holmser, if this is the root partition, a good candidate would be the log files; check the size of the folder /var/log [06:24] I'll check it [06:24] tim: I just did and it is working flawlessly. Not sure how I feel about nautilus-elementary, though. [06:25] it just started happening after I upgraded to 10.04 [06:25] i'm trying to install fontconfig-config1 2.8 however it says there is an error because it will break the existing version (2.6), what do i do? [06:25] Chase-: I know... I'm not too excited about using a watered-down nautilus, but I'll give it a try. Does it automatically replace nautilus as the default file browser? [06:26] Anyone good with ubuntu & audio? Got an issue, and curious what I should be my next step. [06:26] holmser, if you recently upgraded, also check the size of /var/cache/apt/archives/ [06:26] tim: It "updates" your nautilus to nautilus-elementary, so its still nautilus just different. [06:26] how can i integrate drivers from the original ISO onto my slimmed down nlite version for windows xp? [06:26] xorwhy: well, i think the output from that 'tty' command might be about as close as you can get, but i could be wrong! someone else might know more. you can look at the output of this command... but i don't think it's what you're looking for --> ps aux | grep tty [06:26] kroms, I wouldn't call myself good, but try me. What is the issue? [06:26] vices: you might want to try in #windows [06:26] vices: you're not going to get xp support in here. [06:27] vices: I think you want ##windows [06:27] is there CLI command to check the size? [06:27] tim: Nautilus-Elementary looks much better in some themes than others. It seems awesome in Dust, but sucky in clearlooks. [06:27] holmser, "du -sh /path/to/folder" [06:27] thanks [06:27] Jordan_U: Thank you for all of your help. I appreciate it very much. [06:27] I think as of the release of 10.04 gnome-look will get a little less traffic [06:28] Chase-: Oh my! It is pretty!!! I'll have to get used to it, but I'm liking it. Gloobus is working now too. Thank you so much! Off to the forums!! [06:28] Reign25: You're welcome. [06:28] hmm... 6.1 gb for logs === dabomb69 is now known as Chazz === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:29] is that normal? [06:29] could someone take a look at my xorg.conf and tell me if something looks funny? it doesn't want to load the nvidia driver. http://pastebin.com/HuStu6DU [06:29] Reign25: did you solve it? [06:29] xorwhy: why are you using xorg.conf? [06:30] holmser: my /var/log directory holds 6MB [06:30] Loshki: No. Still the same issues unfortunately [06:30] xorwhy: how did you install the nvidia driver and what error are you getting that you don't think its getting loaded? [06:31] holmser, 6.1 GB is way too much. [06:32] ok [06:32] what would be causing that? [06:32] Any better way to do this replace , sed 's#.*connection.url.*#jdbc:mysql://192.168.6.66:3306/portaldb?autoReconnect=true#' hibernate.xml [06:32] I just need to change only the IP ... if the property name is "connection.url" [06:32] holmser, it might be due to an error being spammed in the logs... Can you check which log file is biggest (du -h /var/log/*), and try looking for recurring messages in it? [06:32] how do i keep aptitude safe-upgrade from removing a package that i dont want removed? [06:32] hi [06:32] histo: Used the restricted driver manage. Error screens found but none have usable configuration. Problem may be due to lack of screen specification in xorg, but I cant figure out what the specification is, I just know the its BusID [06:32] !keep | DrMrHorse [06:33] xorwhy: what version of ubuntu areyou using? [06:33] looks like mail.log [06:33] histo: 10.04 amd64 [06:33] i got nothing from the bot [06:34] xorwhy: well you should be able to installt he nvidia driver that hardware drivers recomends and no need for xorg.conf [06:34] the bot doesn't know about 'keep' [06:34] histo: in a perfect world [06:34] seems so [06:34] http://pastebin.com/HuStu6DU [06:34] DrMrHorse: you can use aptitude to put packages on 'hold' or 'keep' [06:34] sorry, mail.info === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:34] onetinsoldier: ok, ill check it out, ty [06:35] DrMrHorse: roger.. look at the man page i reckon. man aptitude. good luck [06:35] DrMrHorse: hold up i'm trying to find the trigger for how to keep a package [06:36] it looks like sudo aptitude keep [06:36] holmser, try opening it with "less". Anything special in it? Mine is empty lol [06:36] hello,everybody [06:36] how can I control volume in gnome-shell [06:36] DrMrHorse: In synaptic you can mark it as well [06:37] May 16 07:40:03 holmser nullmailer[18079]: smtp: Failed: Connect failed [06:37] May 16 07:40:03 holmser nullmailer[1358]: Sending failed: Host not found [06:37] May 16 07:40:03 holmser nullmailer[1358]: Starting delivery: protocol: smtp host: mail. file: 1272498001.13436 [06:37] i have a problem with looping dependancies [06:37] DrMrHorse: roger. sounds about right. i just use the aptitude interface itself a lot. simply type in... aptitude [06:37] spammed over and over and over again [06:37] hey everyone... does anyone know how to get my appindicator into the messaging menu?... Python-Api ? [06:37] I'm just gonna nuke postfix [06:37] * histo hates postfix [06:37] me too [06:37] i cannot update things because it will break a dependancy [06:37] holmser, you might want to figure out why it does that, find the source of the error. When you do, you can just do "echo > /var/log/mail.info" as root to empty the file [06:38] anyone got experience with how to fix this? [06:38] onetinsoldier: not big on the curses interface, but installing with dpkg -i and running sudo aptitude keep [06:38] Jaikkuli: Remove the package that requires the dependency, upgrade, and reinstall? [06:38] *worked [06:38] DrMrHorse: i hear you [06:38] how can i control volume in gnome-shell [06:38] jabirali, it won't let me. says permission denied, even with sudo [06:38] Jaikkuli: can you pastebin the problem. === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:39] I really hate upgrades. [06:39] I'm having a bit of an audio problem. I can hear what it's supposed to output but whatever I'm listening to is drowned out by static twice as loud. ALC889A, other people report my mobo (gigabyte ex58-ud5) works fine with Ubuntu. Sound works fine in Windows and Haiku. [06:39] !pin | DrMrHorse [06:39] DrMrHorse: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [06:39] hmm ty [06:40] holmser, sudo is not enough. That would run "echo" as root, but the ">" is expanded by the shell run by you, so the piping would be done by you ;) [06:40] holmser, "sudo -s" and then run the command [06:40] jabirali, thanks [06:41] holmser, sudo -s ; echo > /var/log/mail.info ; exit [06:41] <__taco> what does "pic=noacpi" appended to boot argument use for? [06:41] Chase-, this is not looking good, it's practically removing everything because of the stuff it is depended on by [06:41] I've tried uninstalling pulse audio and using different alsa model settings but nothing seems to change [06:42] livizy: if you are in 10.04, using any special volume keys on your keyboard is easiest [06:42] Jaikkuli: By everything, how bad? Is it going to remove X? [06:43] dos [06:43] chase, well firefox, empathy, evolution and heaps of other shit [06:43] hello. does anyone here installed lucid lynx on macbook pro 5,5 [06:43] doshitan: my keyboard dont have these volume keys [06:43] Chase-, now all icons don't even show [06:43] <__taco> my notebook sometime couldn't boot with ubuntu-9.10 without "pic=noacpi" === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:44] Chase-, great, now ubuntu doesn't even have a software manager to even OPEN .deb files [06:44] i really must say that was shitty advice, it's going to take me an hour to fix this :S [06:44] Jaikkuli: It doesn't? [06:44] Jaikkuli: back up your files [06:45] Jaikkuli: Ubuntu uses gdebi, you can reinstall it, or just sudo dpkg -i *.deb [06:45] like, before you reboot [06:45] linux macbook pro users, i need your help [06:45] no i cannot, because it's offline [06:45] Jaikkuli: does the 'dpkg' command work on the command line? [06:45] 10.04 really screwed up my system [06:45] livizy: ah, well if click the key and type sound and select the sound preference option, you can change it from there === juju2143 is now known as [J] [06:46] I can't burn dvd's any more. keep getting errors, and I keep getting some apt error. [06:46] Jaikkuli: try... dpkg -l [06:47] onetinsoldier, terminal will not open [06:47] doshitan: when I click the key,I cant type [06:47] Jaikkuli: roger... sorry to hear that [06:48] livizy: hmmm, well click where it says "Activities" in the top left corner and type sound into the field at the top [06:49] this is an awful lot of trouble to install vlc offline [06:49] pushing a screwdriver in my ear seems rather nice at this moment [06:49] Jaikkuli: once your files are backed up, you can try going to a virtual terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-f1, and return by pressing ctrl-alt-f7 [06:49] doshitan: oh,I just got that,but there is nothing after I type sound or volume [06:49] Jaikkuli: A bit late, but in the future, you can use -s to simulate apt-get and see what it will do. [06:50] Jaikkuli: but you will probably have to reinstall from scratch :( === JC_Denton__ is now known as JC_Denton_ [06:50] Chase-, i don't catch your drift [06:50] holmser: what's the apt error? [06:50] livizy: strange, the click the top right corner and click system preferences in the drop down menu, look for sound in there [06:50] Jaikkuli: Could have known what it would have removed before removing the dependency. [06:50] I can't remember. It will pop up in an hour or so and I'll write it down this time [06:51] holmser: what happens when you use apt now? [06:51] Jaikkuli: he's talking about the -s switch to the apt-get command. it will show you waht it's going to do without actually doing it [06:51] what* [06:51] Jaikkuli: Isn't the first source in sources.list the CD? If you uncomment them and pop in your CD you can reinstall orgiinal packages offline. [06:51] i don't really understand how it is even possible to update libconfig-config1 to 2.8 from 2.6 if there is a looping dependency [06:51] doshitan: trust me ,I cant find out in system preferences [06:51] it's ridiculous [06:51] any macbook pro users here? [06:52] holmser: if you have a command line, try.. sudo apt-get -f install [06:52] Hi. I'm having an audio problem. I can hear what it's supposed to output but whatever I'm listening to is drowned out by static twice as loud. HD Audio, ALC889A, sound works fine in Windows and Haiku. [06:52] I've tried uninstalling pulse audio and using different alsa model settings but nothing seems to change [06:52] livizy: well that is just strange, are you using a recent build of gnome-shell? [06:53] i guess when the manager installs in bulk it overrides the errors [06:53] doshitan: yep [06:53] onetinsoldier, tried it, 0 programs changed [06:53] Hi all. [06:53] Hi. [06:53] livizy: And Ubuntu 10.04? [06:53] Anyone wanna take a crack at an fsck question? [06:53] holmser: no error from the command though? ok [06:53] I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna format this box and start over [06:53] doshitan: by the way,how can I got the lastest gnome-shell [06:53] no error onetinsoldier [06:53] doshitan: yep 10.04 [06:53] holmser: hmm, roger [06:54] Jordan_U i'm the gut with grub2 problem, booting from puppy, i stil cannot run teh script you gave me, is there anything else i can do? (downloading ubuntu live now , but will take along time) [06:54] livizy: i can tell you how to display every package that has the word gnome in it [06:55] livizy: I'm running from a ppa, google "gnome shell ppa" and it should be like the second item, a launchpad ppa run by Rico Tzschichholz [06:56] does no one really have any ideas related to my problem? I've had it for over a year and a half over the last 3 versions of ubuntu [06:56] pupuser2b34cd: Can you pastebin your grub.cfg and the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" ? [06:57] Jordan_U will do [06:57] livizy: here's is the url for the ppa, http://is.gd/ceaX3 [06:58] aphedox: I had a similar problem when a nonexistant channel for a mic was turned up in alsa mixer. [06:58] believe me, i've manipulated every possible control in alsamixer === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [06:59] aphedox: Do you have the same problem plugging in headphones? [06:59] yes [06:59] aphedox: sounds like maybe you should try to get in contact with the alsa developer himself. get on the mailing list === git__ is now known as git___ [07:00] oh boy.. help is out reach [07:00] I don't really understand how I can even be having this problem though when a quick google reveals plenty of people with the same motherboard for whom it works fine === git___ is now known as git_____ [07:01] onetinsoldier: what does that mean [07:01] aphedox: It is not uncommon for the same motherboard to be produced with different parts. [07:01] doshitan: how can I get my gnome-shell version [07:01] is it normal for linuxes to say that a partition mounted in / is unknown ? [07:01] Jordan_U the grub.cfg is here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/435341/ [07:01] ...that doesn't sound good [07:01] and fdisk -l gives absolutely no output [07:01] alright, thanks [07:02] livizy: if you want to see the name/version of of all the packages you have installed that has the word gnome in it, then try this --> dpkg -l '*gnome*' | grep ^ii [07:02] Jordan_U but i'm having a difficulty with the command on puppy, should i mount it first? also it keeps saying "not a directory" or "doesnt exist" [07:02] jhattara, what about sudo fdisk -l [07:02] aphedox: Buy a cheap pci soundcard known to work in ubuntu off ebay or newegg or something and maybe you can kiss the problem goodbye that way... [07:03] pupuser2b34cd: Try "sudo blkid" or any way to list the UUIDs of all your partitions [07:03] a3ist, silly me, fdisk works fine with sudo, but gparted says the partition is unknown and not mounted [07:03] Jordan_U the problem is that puppy doesnt have blkid, i will google it... [07:04] jhattara, does it show the file format in fdisk? [07:04] a3ist, if you mean the file system name, no [07:05] I am trying to access a directory I made before (specifically gnome-terminal, to backup my terminal profile, etc.). Now when I try to cd, do anything, I get "Permission denied.". How can I fix this? [07:05] pupuser2b34cd: It doesn't appear that you have a separate /boot, and everything in that grub.cfg looks correct [07:05] jhattara, mind posting a pastebin of your fdisk output, and your /etc/fstab? [07:05] is "errors=remount-ro" for / a new change in 10.04? [07:06] Jon-- chmod if the owner is you, otherwise chown to make it yours then set privs [07:06] FireCrotch, don't think so [07:06] livizy: type "aptitude show gnome-shell | grep Version" into a terminal [07:06] doshitan: I just check out ,I'm running the rico tz' gnome-shell [07:06] a3ist, http://pastebin.com/HCHMeqts [07:06] FireCrotch, do you disagree with it as a default policy? :P [07:07] jabirali: no, no. Someone just asked me if it was the default because he never noticed it before [07:07] a3ist: I have tried both "sudo chmod -R dirpathhere sudo chown -R dirpathhere", still have issue? [07:07] Jordan_U i do not have a separate boot [07:07] hi, is it possible to enable nouveau on latest live cd? [07:07] FireCrotch, Aha I see :P [07:08] a3ist, time for some morning coffee, can you send me a private message if you have any ideas what it's about, thanks [07:08] I've installed ubuntu 10.04 and a cursor theme from gnome-look.org. how to install it now? extracted it to .icons and used drag&drop inside theme manager but it still doesn't bring up the cursors :( [07:08] a3ist: nevermind, I didn't chown properly [07:08] livizy: well that's good, should be a pretty recent release then, like 2.29.1 [07:08] jhattara, sure thing. Got your fstab though? [07:09] anybody know how to view signal strength in network-manager applet? [07:09] livizy: Don't know why you can't find the Sound preference option though [07:09] Jordan_U i had 8.10 running fine, yesterday i installed the latestversion in dual boot with 8.10 and now tehy both dont boot with a kernel; error -cant mount VFS and it asks me to append root=. not sure what to do... [07:09] spanther: it's an x-cursor theme? it takes some work... i did this the other day for someone else. show me a link to the theme [07:09] doshitan: yep I just running version 2.29.1 [07:10] hi, is it possible to enable nouveau on latest live cd? === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:10] doshitan: oh,I'm a chinese user [07:10] doshitan: can that mak any different? [07:10] onetinsoldier yes it is :/ here the link http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aero+Mouse+Cursors+with+Drop+Shadow?content=67833 [07:10] spanther, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy#Mouse Cursor Themes [07:10] hi everyone [07:10] hi,ray_ [07:11] !hi [07:11] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [07:11] ubuntu___, I think it's enabled by default for nvidia graphics cards now === rsouthard is now known as kepis [07:11] ubuntu___: It's used by default === kepis is now known as rsouthard [07:11] Hello. [07:11] okay, thank you. i guess that means no 3d for me [07:11] i get this error 'Couldn't update ICEauthority file' when logging in 10.04...any help? [07:11] pupuser2b34cd: The root=uuid= argument has to be correct since it matches the one grub is successfully using to find the kernel in the first place. So I don't know what the problem could be. [07:11] pupuser2b34cd: Have you been running GUI apps with sudo? [07:12] spanther: ok. i just downloaded it [07:12] spanther: this will take me some time [07:12] Jordan_U what do you mean ? i never booted into the new system [07:12] any help on the error 'couldn't update ICEauthority file' [07:12] anyone having their windows buttons disappear ? [07:12] onetinsoldier huh? why? ^^ [07:12] i have one other card i can try, if it works i'll come back and say so, if i dont you'll know it failed too [07:12] pupuser2b34cd: Have you been running GUI apps with sudo? [07:12] bye, have fun take care [07:13] phoenix78, Jordan_U's last statement was supposed to be for you ^^ [07:13] livizy: it really shouldn't, is your interface language english or chinese? [07:13] so.. when palimpsest won't create a soft raid array due to the "daemon is being inhibited" what is the issue? :/ [07:13] Flannel: Thanks :) [07:13] permissions? does it need to be sudo'd? [07:13] doshitan: chinese [07:13] Morning [07:14] Jordan_U: i tried to run Kwallet manager [07:14] Have ubuntu a version for smartphones .. to install it ? [07:14] SirLinux, isn't Android more suited for a smartphone? [07:14] I need to change a value in xml if the tag name is 'tagname' and attribute name is 'attributename', the value should be 'somevalue' .. Any tools available in shell ? [07:14] spanther: why? uhhm. well, because... it has to be installed the Ubuntu way to work properly. [07:14] livizy: and when you do a search for "sound" in chinese after clicking the Activites button nothing comes up? [07:14] i highly doubt they'd try to stuff ubuntu onto a smartphone. i'd imagine there are micro distributions that would run on some smartphones [07:15] jabirali i don't know for that i ask in here .. [07:15] i some smartphones with ubuntu installed [07:15] doshitan: yep,nothing [07:15] Jordan_U i found the UUID for sda3 , it's 2914abd9-7373-4227-9fbe-780d0f8f7edd [07:15] DonScott: have you checked who owns it and the permissions? - ls -la |grep ICE should tell [07:15] doshitan: should i install some package? [07:15] Jordan_U it's teh same as the one in the grub.cfg [07:15] anyone know how to make postfix work ? [07:15] karthik, if you mean from just a terminal or bash script, string replacement can be done with sed or awk fairly easily. If you're scripting or programming in something else, I'm not too familiar with the different xml parsing libs [07:16] phoenix78: You shouldn't run applications as root unless you know for a fact that is needed. And when you do run GUI apps as root you need to use kdesudo, not plain sudo [07:16] doshitan: in gnome, there is a button on the panel upright [07:16] livizy: well this stinks, you shouldn't need any other packages if you are running a standard 10.04 install with gnome shell running on top of it [07:16] Jordan_U: will keep that in mind. Now how do i get rid of this error? [07:17] Anyone? I'm trying to create a softraid array in 9.10 using palimpsest but when i try and create the array is just reports "the daemon is inhibited" [07:17] livizy: what does the button say? [07:17] phoenix78, try "sudo rm ~/.ICEauthority" [07:17] phoenix78: have you checked who owns it and the permissions? - ls -la |grep ICE should tell [07:17] phoenix78: To get it so that you can log in again go to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to the GUI) and login there then run "sudo chown you:you .ICEauthority" [07:18] doshitan: the button name? [07:18] phoenix78: Where "you" should be replaced with your username === shiny_ is now known as sh1ny [07:18] Jordan_U: i have tried that already and i get 'operation not permitted' msg [07:18] phoenix78: You need the sudo [07:18] livizy: yea, whatever it says on the button or when you hover over it [07:19] doshitan: i cant remember clearly,if you used it ,you must know it [07:19] spanther: just letting you know.. i'm working on it :) [07:19] Hello, how i can change GDM-theme. It seems that the "old" way isn't working anymore ? [07:20] Jordan_U: tried that and didnt receive any error like earlier...am i suppose to receive any confirmation output or can i just logout and login to verify if i am receiving the err msg. [07:20] /set irc_conf_mode on [07:20] a3ist: I am doing in shell ... [07:20] my display can show better but ubuntu restricts it to 600x800. How can I get it corrected? [07:20] phoenix78: Just log in. [07:20] my display can show better but ubuntu restricts it to 600x800. How can I get it corrected? 9.10, dell monitor [07:20] karthik, are you familiar with regular expressions at all [07:20] tripelb: what type of video card? [07:20] livizy: well I know what mine says, just wanted to make sure we were seeing the same thing but that's ok [07:20] Jordan_U: Many thanks..i am logging out to verify [07:21] a3ist: sed 's#.*connection.url.*#jdbc:mysql://192.168.6.66:3306/portaldb?autoReconnect=true#' hibernate.xml [07:21] doshitan: maybe ,I delete some package ignorantly [07:21] karthik, that's a whole lot of unescaped stuff there, that really should be slimmed down [07:21] a3ist: I tried .. but since sed is a line by line editor it will screw if the end tag not in the same line .. [07:21] histo It was showing better - but it changed. I cant remember why, update + reboot maybe. please remind me of the terminal command to reveal my video card. (The comuter is AMD and the card is a VIA I believe) [07:21] tripelb: lspci | grep VGA [07:21] a3ist: I ve got it working .. [07:21] karthik, mind if I pm you so we don't cloud the channel up with sed/grep stuff [07:21] oh [07:22] Jordan_U: it worked like charm...thanks [07:22] livizy: press the Alt+F2 key combo and type "restart" into the dialog that comes up, this should restart gnome shell (without closing or losing any running apps) [07:23] a3ist: The only special character when using single quote marks (') is another quote mark. Nothing else needs to be escaped (and in fact since \ is not a special character either even ' can't be escaped) [07:23] doshitan: ok [07:23] phoenix78: You're welcome [07:23] histo, OK will do. BTW system>preferences>display says "monitor unknown" ==> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01) [07:23] karthik: with sed, you can also append the next line before doing your substitution, in instances where you match against the first part of the tag [07:23] doshitan: done [07:24] tripelb: No idea maybe restart X see if it corrects itself [07:24] a3ist: " mind if I pm you so we don't cloud the channel up with sed/grep stuff" I am new to IRC .. DIdnt understand this [07:24] karthik: Private message [07:24] doshitan: I can control the volume by type command "alsamixer" [07:25] hi, i tried nvidia geforce 9800 GT and 6600 with nouveau, with ubuntu 10.04 live cd.. it will not let me enable desktop 3d effects, and there is no way to change the screen resolution [07:26] having some issues unmounting a device. umount -a stalls, and gnome disk utility stalls too. is there anyway i can turn off autodiscovery of devices so i can wipe this drive? [07:26] livizy: Good! At least you have some control over the sound, still worried that you don't have the sound preference option though [07:27] doshitan: you got it [07:27] # Appears as KEVIN [07:27] is there no possibility of 3d with nouveau? [07:27] spanther: hello.. still here? i'm having trouble. but going to try a couple more things [07:28] onetinsoldier, yes I'm still here x) [07:28] livizy: Ubuntu 10.04 made some changes to how their panel is set up and that breaks a lot of things when you try to use elements that aren't Ubuntu-specific, like gnome-shell [07:28] spanther: roger [07:28] # Appears as KEVIN [07:28] how do u do the cube [07:29] compiz+rotate cube [07:29] //desktop cube [07:29] doshitan: what does that mean [07:29] yes [07:29] livizy: I cope with the lack of panel stuff because I can control my volume and stuff through my netbook keyboard, but you don't have that option sadly [07:29] gugu! [07:29] SirLinux }{ [07:29] :)) [07:30] hi [07:30] livizy: Well, stuff like the volume applet and the indicators for running applications, Ubuntu ships with patched apps that tie into Ubuntu-specific notifications, which aren't present in something like gnome-shell [07:31] any know how to do the desk top cube [07:31] anyone? [07:31] livizy: So some elements get lost because the shell isn't told what is going on [07:31] I'm trying to install Ubuntu-Netbook 10.04 on a EEE 901, and after I set the keyboard layout, I get a notification that 'parted_server' crashed, and the installation does not proceed. what to do? [07:31] How do i install xp on my computer, I only has ubuntu right now? [07:32] hello [07:32] hello, could someone answer my question please [07:32] 1500 people jeez [07:33] destroth, you can't install xp "after" ubuntu, because microsoft kills the mbr with it's own data and then you won't be able to choose to boot linux anymore :) [07:33] surely you can recover the mbr but that's nothing for beginners ^^ [07:33] spanther: Its actually not that hard. [07:33] Chase-, for beginners who ask how to install xp it is :P [07:34] doshitan: you mean that gnome panel and those applets,cant run in gnone shell,right? [07:34] seanj: I do believe you have to use nvidia's proprietary driver for 3d support at this time [07:34] oh man that sucks. okay thanks doshitan [07:35] spanther: i don't know. i can't seem to get it to work yet. i might keep trying for a bit though. i need to restart X a couple times to try stuff though. but i don't know if i'm going to get it figured out or not [07:35] spanther: The hardest part will be creating the windows partition and doing the install. [07:35] hi there [07:35] so xp commands kernel? [07:35] or xp kernel commands c:\ [07:35] is that right? [07:35] no its not [07:35] recov console is for noobs [07:35] destroth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:35] can I safely say that the windows XP kernel commands primary partition? [07:35] there is a page which has a lot mp3 files , I need to download all of them at once [07:35] how ? [07:35] heya [07:35] weird thing is, when you disable desktop effects and later enable them again, it everytime makes a search for graphics drivers and wants to install again O.o [07:35] whats the equivalent of "hosts" file in ubuntu [07:35] I need to replace a few addresses [07:35] /etc/hosts [07:36] spanther: ok, i think i know what i forgot.. hang on [07:36] okay [07:36] silv3r_m00n: wget === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:36] yes spanther that is quite irritating [07:36] but if proprietary driver is the only way for now i'll do it [07:36] livizy: Pretty much, the gnome2 panel and the gnome-shell (which will be gnome3) are completely different underneath and when you add ubuntu specific changes on top of that, a lot won't work in the gnome shell panel [07:37] how can i make it so that i can right click on a file and run it in terminal? [07:37] well for me (at first) nouveau worked well! :P [07:37] i just need 3D for games so yeah i picked the official again xD [07:37] what is the best alternative to adobe flash in ubuntu?? [07:37] Spyzer: gnash [07:38] swfdec ^^ [07:38] doshitan: yep [07:38] Spyzer: but, you can install adobe flash if you want [07:38] same here spanther ... i cant have no games, i already ditched all the proprietary ones i had [07:38] jken418: by wine ?? [07:38] doshitan: maybe the only thing can run is tray [07:38] or is there a linux binary [07:38] !flash [07:38] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:38] ive just installed fresh karmic, no updates dun yet, ive tried several things i found on net, but to no avail [07:38] Spyzer: there is a linux binary. The package you need is flashplugin-installer [07:39] MACscr: if the file is .sh you can double click and get the option to run in a terminal.. I'm not sure how to add that to right-click menu, though [07:39] is there a way I can skipt the partitioning step in the installer, and do that myself? it just hangs, because parted_server crashes for an unknown reason [07:39] im trying to get sound to work in linux games [07:39] seanj`, well there's no reason to wipe proprietary "games" x) there are some cool ones like doom3! :) [07:39] but that is just an adobe plugin for firefox?? [07:39] i plan on using wine [07:39] seanj`: thanks, found i needed to install nautilus-open-terminal [07:39] any1 can help me fig this out? [07:39] i love doom3 spanther .. or i did until i ran into problems and asked id for help [07:39] padde: you can with the alternate CD in expert mode [07:39] and i get problems often, the companies never help [07:39] so i woudl rather just stop using those games [07:39] oh good MACscr [07:40] seanj`, lol yep ID dropped linux support (officially) i've heard (sadly) :( [07:40] jken418: I'd like to use the Ubuntu Netbook edition, is there a boot option or something? [07:40] Spyzer: that's the flash player that will let you use flash applets in web browsers [07:40] padde: hua [07:40] prob having to do with their aquisition by zenymedia [07:40] spanther: that's true... then again, they never really supported anyway.. it was a hobby.. [07:40] livizy: what do you mean? [07:40] I cannot even report the crash, because "The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes." [07:40] i think it's better to support free software games [07:40] histo, nope. This computer regularly freezes so I regularly reboot. Say at most 4 days. -- I had this same problem with another (Dell) monitor and kjele helped me, viz: he added the line with openchrome [07:40] Section "Device" [07:40] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [07:40] Driver "openchrome" [07:40] EndSection [07:40] tripelb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:40] hmm so is there any flash applet which lets me create flash movies?? [07:40] but hey screw IDSoftware! look at "Steam" from valve! :D released mac client and linux version (NATIVE!) is up to be released! x) [07:40] padde: ah, in that case, have you got the netbook edition image to install from? [07:40] but that's me, I believe the whole rms software should be free thing [07:41] i hate steam [07:41] seanj`: ah, well, i found that i needed to install that, which i did, but its not showing up. Someone said they restarted their pc and then it did. How can i get it working without restarting? [07:41] jken418: yes [07:41] MACscr: maybe log out, log back in [07:41] sorry about flooding, but it seems like XP wont even try to install without installing to c:\, it just blue screens out and says there are drive errors, which I scan disk and its clean [07:41] padde: or you can install netbook launcher on a normel install [07:41] seanj`: when i log out, do i lose any of my open sessions,etc? [07:41] padde: thats the main app of unr anyways [07:41] destroth: if you make xp ntfs partitions with something other than the xp installer, it might not like them [07:41] and to press any key to restart [07:42] Hi, I've got this problem with my wifi that's driving me insane. Tried getting my broadcom card to work on a laptop but finally gave up and used a dlink dwa-140 dongle instead. Installed the proper drivers, blacklisted the bad, ran ifconfig wlan0 up and it worked! After shutting my computer off I now can't get any wifi. The LED is gone, i find my network when scanning, but the network manager won't let me turn on wifi. Any thoughts [07:42] padde: if it's crashing, perhaps you have a corrupted download or CD. Running the integrity check it offers at the boot screen should determine this. [07:42] ? [07:42] so can gnash help me to create swf movies as well?? [07:42] gogeta: I see. but aren't there optimisations, drivers, etc. that I'll miss? [07:42] so then you have to install XP 1st, because the kernel commands it? [07:42] padde: naa [07:42] MACscr: when i log out, i lose my current chat sessions, web browser, etc.. i know there's a way to restore them but i don't know exactly how [07:42] i'm so happy about valve's decision! x) i am so nervous and hope they'll release steam for linux soon x) [07:42] vlc20gmr, did you see the video of the mac man who installed steam and says it messed up his computer. The comments on that have useful suggestions. (as well as saying he's an idiot) [07:42] tripelb: hrm.. no idea [07:43] spanther: Me, too, now I just need to remember my steam login from like 7 years ago. [07:43] padde: thats the next ubuntu with there real netbook os called ubuntu lite [07:43] destroth: XP overwrites the master boot record during install, so the boot loader for Ubuntu is erased too.. it should always be install Windows first, then Ubuntu or whatever other GNU+Linux you want [07:43] AnonTalk.se addessrof Fujur alket Pitel Vigo_ destroth gogeta daniel__ Fredag varun mezzovento murrayc Mud vic20gmr Spyzer pinoyskull MACscr alexstre^ T-One Zolomon CompactDstrxion Dark_Wizard Wolphie padde wers ara 17SAAOH9H schatan larsivi ChogyDan emet ANTRat zanguoli_1 seanj` alanm_7805 cyphase kunu tinoutinou Boldfilter larryAmen sh1ny DeathCrawler tobago radioman-lt ilers Nephyrin kevr SirLinux BuZZ-dEE S0LIDUS punknroll VagaStorm_ rsouthard SikEnC [07:43] Hi, How to make Xchat to auto-join on startup to several channels ?

[07:44] after steam comes to linux, maybe this is a BIG jump in promoting this open platform for gaming! would be a big step for linux' publicity :D [07:44] How can you convince windows xp to install in the 1st place? it BSOD me! [07:44] tripelb: like passing acpi=off tot he kernel in grub [07:44] It will never have a chance to overwrite the mbr [07:44] destroth: please stay on topic. This isn't a windows channel. [07:44] spanther: Is it actually official that steam will come to linux? [07:44] spanther: steam works with wine right now [07:44] I am trying to figure out how to get windows XP installed after ubuntu [07:44] spanther: assuming proprietary games are worth it :/ i'd rather the free games improved.. and yes i am a big fan of HL2 TF2 Portal etc but... my mind is changing [07:44] i doubt steam on "linux" will evr happe [07:45] n [07:45] destroth: maybe run XP in virtualbox [07:45] jken418: yes, they show up fine. but if I try to start gparted, it crashes immediately [07:45] chase, spanther: steam is not really on topic here. [07:45] Chase-, yes because i saw linux version folders on the steam online servers in a hidden area hrhr x) [07:45] Chase-: well they where working on it but hackers leaked it whos knoes now [07:45] histo, ok. But how would that affect things? The monitor stays on, nothing moves. -- and -- I dont understand "passing acpi=off to the kernel in grub" [07:45] destroth: did you make your XP partitions (c:\) with the XP installer, or with fdisk/cfdisk in Ubuntu ? [07:45] jken418: "Assertion (head_size <= 63) at ... failed [07:45] tripelb: what version of ubuntu do you ahve again? [07:45] Chase-: you dont wana piss off vaulve like that [07:45] destroth: I know some versions of Windows will only install on the first primary partition (c:\) maybe that's the problem [07:45] SPEAKING of games, i am having a big headache with sound in ubuntu karmic [07:45] destroth if the first partionon the disk is not windows it will not go.... even as little as 50meg but must be upfront.... [07:45] any ideas? [07:46] padde: right... um, have you tried running parted? [07:46] It wont let me make anything with the xp installer, it just bsod anykey to reset [07:46] ive tried many suggs ive googled up [07:46] vic20gmr: which sound card are you using, and which version of Ubuntu?

[07:49] destroth: why what is? [07:50] destroth: xp overrides the boot loader and doesn't give a multiple boot menu [07:50] destroth: installing xp will remove grub and you will have to restore it bvia live cd otherwise you shouldent have a problem [07:50] while ubuntu installs grub [07:50] and has windows in the list [07:50] I tried to say the kernel commandsprimary, but everyone gets mad [07:50] i will definitely keep following it doshitan ... my goal is to run 100% libre software.. so it's important [07:50] kernel commands primary?

Sorry, I must've missed that; thougtht you were running gparted alone. That is weird. You could try reinstalling gparted and/or ubiquity in the live cd environment.

I am interested too, and searching a bit on Googlesearch [08:03] i am likeing lucid lynx [08:03] hmm... [08:03] silv3r_m00n: apparently no gui for xmms2, which is weird [08:04] silv3r_m00n: a cursory goole seems to indicate that there are solutions for what you're after. Look into sox perhaps, and maybe various plugins for alsa. pulseaudio, vlc and/or xmms2 [08:04] seanj`: xmm2 is ment to run in the backround and play p3s [08:04] I'm boring and use stuff like rhythmbox, exhaile, amarok for playing music [08:04] mp3s [08:04] Spyzer: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=23 that page has more info about adobe products and wine [08:04] ah okay gogeta, thanks [08:04] MP Dftw [08:04] MPD ftw* [08:04] rocket16: This forum thread used Google Gadgets and one used some scripting, looks simple enough: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1005790.html [08:04] I use mpg123/321 for stuff that isn't tagged and the other players don't index === logan is now known as Guest11012 [08:05] wow, 750mb of ram in use on 32bits as well [08:05] that's half the fun of all this software though, trying it out [08:05] seanj`: yea i wish they world work on xmms again i liked that player [08:05] W: GPG error: http://mirror.noreply.org stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY CFF71CB3AFA44BDD [08:05] me too gogeta, it was very nice [08:05] Docteh: in use by programs or cahce + programs?

(I have Ubuntu 9.10 upgraded from 9.04, so I dont have the new grub.) Glad I hadnt done anything yet when I saw the _Disregard_, heh. (Re "freeze" aka "locks up". This never happens at boot. Most dramatically during flash (gives me audio loop). I only use chrome now. I think it was worse with FF.) What I learned: ACPI means (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and works [08:08] to suspend (hybernate) AFAIK and does not seem related to a computer that "stops operating, ie running a program (flash) or responding to input. (no keyboard flash, ctl-sysreq +reisub does not work). (PASTEBIN NOT WORKING NOW) - so what next? [08:08] it's not bad to see most of your memory cached [08:08] Docteh: probably not even half of that amount is actuallying being used [08:09] seanj`: darn, is there anything even close to that? im out of ideas to make flash video smooth, i just cant get it... [08:09] Docteh: It's not in use; it's cached data to increase access speed for programs you might use soon. If you do something else, linux will manage the RAM accordingly. Don't worry! [08:09] twiztid: no luck with the proprietary flashplayer or gnash? [08:09] no its 750mb actual, 2gb including the cache [08:09] pandabbl: sudo chown -R you:you ~/.gnupg [08:09] sec i'll pastebin the free command [08:09] !pastebin [08:09] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [08:09] twiztid: I tend to download the file and play with vlc, which involves waiting, but plays smoothly [08:09] tripelb: from my experience some systems have buggy power management support with the ubuntu kernel. Disabling acpi is usally my first step in trobuleshooting them. [08:10] tripelb: I've got several dells that willnot work with acpi enabled they randomly lock up after a day or two some times less [08:10] same error [08:10] tripelb: i say acpi=off apm=off [08:10] Mine idles at 400mb, And i have all kinda shit going [08:10] tripelb: kill all the power magment [08:11] only memory trouble i ever had was with 64 bit vista [08:11] ran out [08:11] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/435363/ [08:11] while playing crysis :| [08:11] seanj`: i heard gnash was bad... but then again, nope havent tried it... and proprietary flashplayer? not sure wat you mean, im using the adobe flash player 10; and ya i did a short video and it played smooth but waiting for the download isnt ideal... [08:11] anywayh that's ot, sorry [08:11] lol [08:11] pandabbl: paste please the output of "ls -l ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf" [08:11] destroth: are you running compiz? [08:11] yup [08:12] Docteh: That looks perfectly healthy to me. [08:12] twiztid: that's weird... it should play as it downloads with adobe flash 10.. which btw is the "proprietary" flash player... [08:12] dont have expanded dt from other jack atm tho [08:12] tripelb: my pc had a bad habbit of shutting down the dans before kernel 2.6 and i had to do that [08:12] fans [08:12] -rw------- 1 nick nick 28 2010-05-07 01:01 /home/nick/.gnupg/gpg.conf [08:12] pandabbl: that looks right [08:12] pandabbl: are you still bbl? :P [08:12] pandabbl: try adding the -H option to sudo [08:13] jken418: all I'm running is a terminal, system monitor and firefox opened to just the pastebin, seems a tad high [08:13] im alway a different person [08:13] Docteh: Only start worrying if swap is being used extensively. [08:13] seanj`: it downloads and plays flash but its choppy; [08:13] why do i need the usage [08:13] Check your htop to see all the processes [08:13] I fired up einstein@home and I was using swap [08:13] hi, i have lucid amd64. everytime i logoff i have zombie couchdb+evolution processes. I haven't even used evolution! [08:13] twiztid: why not use kickyoutube and download it as mp4 or soemthing [08:13] Docteh: As I said before, it caches things in RAM for quick access. Nothing's actually happening with the data, but it's in the memory for speed. [08:13] Docteh: the bloat is from the default ubuntu kernel and desktop environments [08:13] twiztid: another thing I wonder is if the driver for your graphics card is installed... with only a basic driver, video acceleration may be disabled, which can make movies choppy [08:14] twiztid: rather then using greasemonkey [08:14] look into custom compiling a kernel, and using a window manager [08:14] like awesomewm or openbox [08:14] gpg --fingerprint 94C09C7F [08:14] as a regular user i get permission denied [08:14] my swap says 0 [08:14] I have a Huawei USB stick (CDMA-type, a bit of a strange animal) that used to work fine at least with gnome-ppp. After the latest round of updates, the same connection now says "Invalid dial command": http://paste.debian.net/73716/ Anybody familiar with AT commands? [08:14] so use sudo [08:14] with sudo i get that gpg error [08:14] tripelb: I would also try a memtest on the machine. [08:14] so try sudo -H [08:14] mem 441 [08:14] destroth: 0 swap? that can't be good... [08:14] q [08:14] gogeta: havent heard of kickyoutube... im trying to get streaming vids smooth [08:14] sudo gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net -- recv 94C09C7F [08:15] seanj`: thats perfectly fine. [08:15] is this command correct for lynx? [08:15] as long as you have enough [08:15] what do i do? [08:15] worked on other distros [08:15] destroth: how much ram do you have? [08:15] 4gig [08:15] Docteh: This is a good thing. If you're short on RAM, you will be able to tell because swap will be being used. swap is on the hard disk, so its access times are much slower than RAM. You will see a drop in performance then, and things will feel sluggish. [08:15] twisted`: go to the video you wanna download and add kick to the url [08:15] destroth: you dont need swap [08:15] 64 bit os [08:15] kevr: I've never tried to run a system without swap, i always thought the world would end [08:15] is it possible to develop silverlight apps in ubuntu ? [08:15] Docteh: but as you are now, it's fine :) [08:15] ive run one stably for half a year [08:15] as a server [08:15] with 0 swap [08:15] twisted`: kickyoutube.com/blabla [08:15] Laibsch: yeah it looks messed up [08:16] yes alket with moonlight, as far as i know [08:16] histo: in what way? [08:16] seanj`: i have open source drivers on a 512mb ati radeon x1300 agp card, single core 2.0ghz cpu; 1.25gbs ram [08:16] ive been lookin around ubuntu forums, and im getting the impression that karmic sound is just broken, and theres nothing i can do to make it work [08:16] histo have done memtest [08:16] can any1 give me a lifeline here? [08:16] histo: I don't remember changing anything. So I'd wonder where I need to tweak things and how. [08:16] twisted`: having compiz on can slow down your video [08:16] tor: Depends: libevent1 (>= 1.3e) but it is not installable [08:16] hola [08:16] twiztid: can you pastebin the output of: glxinfo | grep direct [08:16] vic20gmr[karmic]: At the risk of sounding rude, have you tried lucid? [08:16] gogeta: ya i have it off rite now [08:17] anyone got a good link to some cshell scripts on ubuntu? [08:17] oh, if it works i guess what i just said doesn't apply [08:17] this htop app looks cooler than normal top [08:17] cshell? [08:17] i cant install libevent1 [08:17] histo: *99***1# is the "telephone number". The ATM command, I don't know about [08:17] twisted`: probly the low ram and shared video card dregging [08:17] you mean shell? [08:17] sh won [08:17] i tried "upgrading" but after 2:30 hrs of my life were taken away, i got a GRUB prompt upon reboot [08:17] ah. [08:17] depends what you need it for [08:17] kevr: "csh" its != bash or regular shell [08:18] I got the csh version for ubuntu just not sure of the differences [08:18] twisted`: i found firefox to have the fastest flash support beleve it or not [08:18] Docteh: bash == sh [08:18] seanj`: direct rendering enabled ... pastebin.com is down for moving to a new server [08:18] i used csh on freebsd.. it had no tab completion [08:18] kevr: dash = sh today [08:18] not true. [08:18] kevr: lalalala nothings changed since the 90s i cant hear you ;) [08:18] you can choose if you want to use dash [08:18] twisted`: also install adblock and flashblock so you dont have a bunch of flash ads slowing you down [08:18] hi, i have lucid amd64. everytime i logoff i have zombie couchdb+evolution processes. I haven't even used evolution! any ideas [08:18] kevr: as default in more and more distros it is [08:19] I wanna make a sweet ass .bash_profile [08:19] lol not really. [08:19] gogeta: dregging? [08:19] Like the matrix shit [08:19] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TXJvY1jx [08:19] kevr: sh is dash in lucid [08:19] dobber: have you updated? [08:19] in lucid [08:19] twisted`: yea flash ads will slow down your video [08:19] not most distros [08:19] !who [08:19] 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 :) [08:19] jken418, u familiar with playdeb.net? [08:19] vic20gmr[karmic]: no [08:20] whole mess of games there [08:20] twisted`: you probly whont get fast video in full screen with 512mb of ram and a shared card [08:20] urban terro stand alone! [08:20] is csh and dash samething? [08:20] histo i'm up to the latest version [08:20] out of ideas :( [08:20] kevr: most debian-related, all *buntu since 9.04(or earlier) and more. i haven't said "most" [08:20] twisted`: unless you download it and use a player like vlc [08:21] no destroth, they are different [08:21] gogeta: oh gotcha, i8 then im gunna install flashblock and adblock,;;;; i have 1.25 GB RAM my video card has 512mb RAM [08:21] destroth: for badass my dad recently came up with the idea of making the root prompt say 'pgmr@host # sudo ' [08:21] twisted`: oh i thought you said 512 ram [08:21] Docteh: good idea [08:21] twisted`: it shouldent be going slow [08:21] my vid card has 512 mb ram and runs flash just fine [08:21] so yeah, puzzling [08:21] gogeta: all good, ya im stumped as to why its so slow... >:( [08:21] maybe the radeon driver has a bug? [08:22] twisted`: youtube doesent lag on my netbook [08:22] I'm actually thinking of switching from networking and security to programming [08:22] bad idea destroth. [08:22] twisted`: gig you enable hardware acell in your flah player prefs [08:22] but to each his own. [08:22] Networking and security is mostly microsoft shit [08:22] destroth: programming more fun + creative [08:22] seanj`: open source... how would i even begin to find the bug? [08:22] no, its not [08:22] lol [08:22] speaking of radeons, i have a radeon 9600, do i get a suitable driver from just installing ubuntu? [08:22] kevr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:22] at our school [08:22] or do i need to dl something? [08:22] twisted`: its ptobl your 3rd party player being slow [08:22] when run lspci | grep VGA, its showing my two video cards and its showing both as compatible. But when i go to monitor preferences, it only shows 2 of my 3 video cards. Any tips? [08:22] go through unix/linux serv admin..make a crapload [08:23] twiztid: you and me both, have to rely on the developers.. which is the same situation with non-free software anyway [08:23] destroth, could you please watch the potty mouth while in here? [08:23] The teacher is so inept, if I do its not going to be at this school [08:23] twiztid: on the upside, we can make bug reports that actually get attention... but i am only guessing it might be a bug, i don't know for sure [08:23] sry [08:23] vic20gmr[karmic]: yes, just install ubuntu. Then it'll tell you if there are extra drivers available [08:23] ah [08:23] elky: fuck. [08:23] but i get a suitable one right off? [08:24] vic20gmr[karmic]: yes, it should just work [08:24] im gessin so since i can set visual fx all the way "up" [08:24] anyone know how to i get stumpwn working in 10.04? [08:24] vic20gmr[karmic]: not sure, i just started using ati cards, because of a need to run freedom-respecting software [08:24] seanj`: yup yup, could it be that i have a unichrome VIA KT400 chipset? the fact that i have that gave me BSOD with games like portal in windows... [08:24] well i gess im putting up with crap sound till the morrow [08:25] * vic20gmr[karmic] sighs [08:25] can anybody please tell me the major differences between debian and ubuntu operating systems?. [08:25] 24 [08:25] I know that ubuntu is a debian derivative [08:25] debian is old, the_file [08:25] xD [08:25] wildbat: nope, I've tried creating a stumpwm.desktop file and .xinitrc w/ no luck. I couldn't get it to work on 9.10 though either [08:25] the_file: Debian is all about stability. [08:25] the_file: ubuntu includes non-free apps [08:25] scottj, me too :< [08:25] the_file: update schedules, default themes, ubuntu likes to change things like the init system [08:26] Docteh: no that eas debian [08:26] was [08:26] ok, ty I may be getting somewhere histo goeta. Now: I put "never" on system>preferences>powermanagement>display "put display to sleep" (tho mine stays bright). I also did update-grub on general principles. NOW: where do I do? acpi=off apm=off AND What does dans mean ( shutting down the dans ) [I so appreciate this, I've been working on it here and Uforums (just checked that, some good suggestions to try. I have freed up space by trashing movies. http://ubuntu [08:26] forums.org/showthread.php?t=1484181] [08:26] but debian uses the same pannels system as ubuntu right?. [08:26] i thought upstart was ubuntu's fault ;) [08:26] gogeta: debian changed to use upstart? when?? [08:26] twiztid: ouch. are you able to play other types of movies with no problems [08:26] well i imagine debian is "all ab stability" in part [at least] cuz its the basis of ubuntu and others? [08:26] spanther: hello again. i might have figured it out... brb [08:26] the_file: Ubuntu is designed to be more newbie-friendly, but most differences are essentially superficial. There are some philosophical differences too. [08:26] wildbat: the only way I've gotten to work is using the xterm session and starting it manually [08:26] Does anyone have a nice link to some ubuntu scripts that will get me on my way? [08:26] llutz: he said init system that was debain [08:26] vic20gmr[karmic]: definitely recommend trying 10.04 live cd to see if problems are resolved with it [08:27] scripts to do what destroth [08:27] hello [08:27] How to add a bot to ircd? [08:27] scottj, hmmm ~ may be i should try ~ [08:27] HiddenInCN: bot are just scripts [08:27] Debian provides non-free software too, but requires a little work to enable them [08:27] To show me the codes for clear and do and loop sllep grep sort etc, and the proper syntax, like sample scripts. [08:27] the_file: Debian Stable is *very* stable. Use that if you want a system that will not break, but isn't cutting edge. Debian Testing is more cutting-edge, but less stable. Ubuntu tries to be the happy medium. [08:28] HiddenInCN: supybot -- GL. [08:28] gogeta: where to get it ? [08:28] HiddenInCN: you could try eggdrop bot, which runs separate from ircd and acts like a client [08:28] seanj`: ya native videos are smooth, its the streaming online videos that are choppy... [08:28] i was also wondering, if i set my mouse sensitivity in ubuntu low, will it have any effect on "hitting the edges" wen it comes to games under wine? [08:28] oh supybot! [08:28] HiddenInCN: look for irc bot scripts [08:28] jken418: I don't get it, how is it that "debian testing is less stable"?. [08:28] thanks for all, thank you. [08:29] the_file: visit debian.org and read about stable/testing/unstable [08:29] twiztid: that's promising. i'm on live cd right now so can't install anything, but i'm a big vlc fan and i think it can steam videos from a url. maybe you could try it? [08:29] the_file: http://www.debian.org/releases/ [08:29] the_file: they dont call something stable untill its rock solid [08:29] supybot is hilarious [08:29] oww I remember reading that [08:29] the_file: even thow for the most part it is [08:29] spanther: hello.. you here? [08:29] Why doesn't gnome-terminal use colors defined in .Xresources like other terms? [08:30] I have a HTC touch 3g ( Jade ) and i want to install linux on it [08:30] Why do people still use feisty? [08:30] ideeas ? [08:30] so why isn't ubuntu considered **JUST** as stable as debian is?. [08:30] seanj`: yay!!! u give me hope! lol i juuuust finished installing vlc and im gunna give it a shot!!! :P [08:30] scottj: I think because gnome prioritizes gnome settings over system/x11 settings [08:30] or better yet, why isn't it?. [08:30] SirLinux: lol we dont do pohnes yet but andorid os is liux [08:30] i hope it works twiztid ! [08:30] the_file: because it uses more recent versions of packages [08:30] onetinsoldier, no i'm offline :) [08:30] the_file: 6 month release cycles won't allow that [08:30] the_file: because debian is tested longer. [08:30] SirLinux: and htc are andoride [08:30] spanther: lol [08:30] spanther: i got it [08:31] the_file: can't be super stable and new at the same time [08:31] nice! :D [08:31] so how did you solve the problem? [08:31] llutz, the_file, et al: Mind taking this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic? Thanks [08:31] hi! my frontal usbs don't mount my pendrives... I can mount it manually but gnome doesn't do it [08:31] Flannel: sry [08:31] what packages would these be?. software packages like ubuntu software center?. [08:31] llutz: No need to be sorry, but you'll have more room to discuss there. === destroth is now known as _cached [08:32] the_file: all of them. But Flannel is right. [08:32] spanther: well, this took me about as long as it did the other day. maybe not quite as long. but i was missing one step/file that had me looking for quite a while. otherwise i would have gotten it done in like 10 minutes or less [08:32] does anyone here have a link to a solution for no audio in flash for 10.04? [08:32] spanther: if you want this installed, i will have to take you through the steps [08:32] Gumby: i got audio [08:32] onetinsoldier, ok :) but please in private [08:33] gogeta: want a cookie :) [08:33] spanther: ok [08:33] Gumby: does audio work in other applications? [08:33] seanj`: so how would i get vlc to stream from url? [08:33] seanj`: yup, just not in flash inside a web brwoser [08:33] twiztid: only guessing but should be in the file menu, open url/location === pbx is now known as hetii [08:34] hm Gumby not sure... am also able to play soudn with flash here... silly suggestion but, check the volume control in the flash applet if watching youtube etc [08:36] seanj`: hrm not seeing it, only see 'open location...' but it doesnt do anything... [08:36] seanj`: ah... just figured it out. PCM was at 0... and flash plugin seems to use PCM while KDE/Gnome used Master [08:37] Gumby: glad you got it figured it out. I always get confused by the wave/pcm controls myself [08:37] sorry twiztid .. i thought for sure you could stream a url with VLC... [08:37] i should boot into my regular system and come back [08:37] seanj`: one las q [08:38] hey guys [08:38] seanj`: did u mean file menu of vlc? or firefox? [08:38] how is everybody? [08:38] oh, ty btw [08:38] twiztid: my idea was to locate the url with firefox, then paste it into vlc, just to see if yuo could stream with another application with no problems [08:39] seanj`: i8 cool thx, see ya in a bit... [08:39] uh, why wouldnt i have a xorg.conf file? [08:39] twiztid: that would help isolate flash as the problem or maybe something else, like a network problem [08:39] ok, be right back [08:39] seanj`: awesome [08:39] <_cached> Is chmod u+x to make it executable still? [08:39] MACscr: new versions of Xorg auto-detect hardware, but you can create and xorg.conf and it will be used [08:40] _cached: u+x just adds executable to the user [08:40] it doesnt change other permissions. [08:40] jken418: I found out the reason for the parted_server crash: gparted crashes when it sees the USB stick from which I was trying to install. trying with an external DVD drive now, and gparted works. I'll make a bug report against gparted later. [08:41] histo: you may or may not have seen my last post above. But I thank you. I've done a lot. I also did: sudo apt-get clean and sensors... --- doing the sensors-detect - did not tell me about any missing kernel drivers but did say: Found `Winbond W83697HF/F/HG Super IO Sensors' Success! (address 0x295, driver `w83627hf') but then tinyogen@tinyogen-desktop:~$ sensors said :"No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-d [08:41] etect to find out which these are." -- So I did it again and checked. Perhaps enough for tonight. (Tho if you have more to say, I'll welcome it and put it in my file with the rest.) Peace. [08:41] padde: that is strange. I've not seen that before. === sick0 is now known as Guest89190 [08:41] <_cached> So then I want to add it to a group and make it executable for the group? [08:42] jken418: I find it strange, too. but it's perfectly reproducible. === Soappoa_ is now known as Soappoa [08:42] _cached: chmod 644 [08:42] _cached: all explained in man-pages chmod/chown. chgrp file;chmod g+x file [08:42] so how do i get my system to generate a xorg.conf file? [08:42] padde: Well, congratulations then. You've found a bug! [08:42] _cached: or chmod ug +x [08:43] chgrp grp file* [08:43] _cached: 644 are standard executable flags for binaries. [08:43] MACscr: You may not need an xorg.conf [08:43] rwxr-xr-x [08:43] jken418: heh, wish I wouldn't find so many of them all the time ;) but well, that's software [08:43] :) [08:43] kevr: thats 755 [08:43] jken418: i dont know what i need besides trying to find a way to get my 3 monitors to work [08:43] llutz: no, it's ont [08:43] not* [08:43] wait [08:43] im mixed up :D [08:43] kevr: man chmod [08:44] ur right [08:44] kevr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[08:54] normal [08:54] how I get it to show or how to prevent from dissappearing [08:55] what are you using? [08:55] ubuntu 10 [08:55] riddler: files beginning with . are hidden by default. `ls -a` will list all files, including hidden ones. Ctrl-H in GNOME's file manager will do the same. [08:55] Gnome? [08:55] yes [08:55] follow rww [08:55] ya i got gnome [08:55] test [08:56] ok so if i press Ctrl H it'll show up hidden files what's the key to make it invisible agian [08:56] riddler: ctrl-H again [08:56] ty [08:56] :-p [08:56] haha [08:56] hi can someone tell me how to make my panels slide in and out when gnome starts? [08:56] whats are the main differences between ubuntu and kubuntu?. [08:57] is it just the looks of it?. [08:57] the_file: gnome vs kde [08:57] different engines too [08:57] the_file: Kubuntu uses KDE, and the consequences of that, are the only difference. [08:59] is this normal: I recently made .gnome folder that was one of the folder that disappear, now I can view it with Ctrl+H now I see .gnome (empty) and .gnome2 (has files) [09:00] #ubuntu.de [09:00] riddler [09:00] hmm [09:00] files prefixed with . are hidden so.. [09:00] any lucid users? [09:00] www.ubuntu.de [09:00] riddler: yes [09:00] offermann: try /j #ubuntu-de [09:00] hello i want to go in german chat [09:00] yaron-heb, yup, why? [09:00] offermann_: try /join #ubuntu-de [09:00] ok thx [09:00] by default, is it normal to have two .gnome folders? .gnome and .gnome2 with .gnome empty folder [09:00] riddler: yes [09:01] ah ok [09:01] riddler, cleaning up among your hidden files? :P [09:01] no i was following instruction to have custom splash screen [09:01] is it safe to delete the files in /var/cache/apt/archives or do they get auto cleaned [09:01] Aha, I see [09:01] told me to save image on .gnome folder in /home/yourname/ [09:02] fodder70, it should be safe to delete all .deb's, but let apt do it for you instead: [09:02] ty :) [09:02] fodder70, sudo apt-get clean [09:02] fodder70: "sudo apt-get clean" is probably a better idea, though either way should work. [09:02] I need someone who hasn't updated his flash version on Lucid to tell me what is the flash version appears on the following site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ [09:03] i am trying to install Roadsend php compiler, and I wrongly installed libCurl 7.20, so the Roadsend configure script complains wanting 7.15.1. I installed libCurl 7.20 from a tar file. How do I remove it now? [09:03] I want to know what's the default flash version [09:03] yaron-heb, 10.0.0.45.2. I use the most recent one in the repos though [09:03] yaron-heb, there is no default [09:03] great! [09:04] I mean the installation candidate from the repos [09:04] yaron-heb, OK, then it's 10.0.0.45.2 :) [09:04] 寻求帮助 [09:05] !cn | jyy [09:05] jyy: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:05] There has been some work done in order to solve the RTL bug in flash 9 but apparently it wasn't fixed yet [09:05] the bug appears as number 10 in JIRA and I guess there's also bounty for it [09:05] !he | yaron-heb [09:05] yaron-heb, please see my private message [09:07] /join #el-lnx eternallinux [09:07] Anyone know anything about the problem with mysql creating 2 root owned bin logs during apt-get upgrade? this makes mysql fail to start and the upgrade to fail === iflema is now known as tremmons [09:08] Hello.

[09:21] hi athlion, bye athlion [09:23] <__taco> :) [09:24] Could anyone take a guess at what could be behind this extremely strange behavior in 10.04? My guess is that something occasionally breaks (udev, for instance) and take down a whole lot of stuff. In my case, once in a while aplay -l reports no soundcards, the shutdown applet will not shut down the computer (it will drop it in gdm from which I also cannot shut down) and System\administration\users and groups seems to be completely dead as [09:24] almost nothing works in there...

Whats funny is that when i ran ctrl + alt + f2, it took me to console on the 3rd monitor and kept the x sessions on the first two. so obviously the integrated board is being seen and used by ubuntu, just maybe not the X server [09:57] i just have cli [09:57] so i need to install everything [09:57] i love it [09:57] MACscr_lappy: what card?

[10:18] i can't use second hard disk in ubuntu [10:18] Lantizia: there is a DAILY repo for mozilla but you have to update youe system everyday!!

[10:19] moetunes, but that wont work is another computer comes online, i think im looking for WINS, or WINBIND, not sure yet [10:19] llutz, so what do i do now, any idea? [10:19] Jimi_Neutral: read "man mkfs.ntfs" [10:20] anybody know how to get Thunderbird 3 to recognise my already existing profile folder in Ubuntu 10.04? [10:20] slide: heh I use static ips on the lan here so that sort of thing is easier [10:21] I've used the profile manager but it still keeps asking me to create a new one [10:22] hello [10:23] At a certain moment during the ubuntu install procedure a skip button appears, however nowhere does the installer inform as to what the button would skip [10:23] anyone have a idea how to get stumpwn in 10.04? [10:24] hellokity [10:24] hello. I have a machine here ubuntu 10.04 (fresh install) with 8Gb of ram. The resources indicate 6+Gb of ram in use, and 1.8Gb swap in use, however there is no reason for this to be so (other machines with the same load use much less memory). Moreover it I add the processes by memory it does not take that much memory. Something is going on that I don't understand... any clue? [10:24] Maybe it would be handy to add some text to the skip button besides skip [10:24] hellokity haha [10:24] hi. i want to know if i could apt-get and install in my home dir without having root priviledges [10:24] papul: no [10:24] llutz, well thats odd, i just deleted the partitions, made it into two fat32 partitions again then right clicked and the ntfs option is there now....odd [10:25] Hi all ! I have a RAID5 server and during booting it says "cannot find "/dev/mapper/raid_name". So it can't boot / ... Somebody said it was because my kernel is compiled without default raid support. [10:25] How do I fix that? [10:25] jrib: but i will be installing it in my home dir? so i have write access [10:25] in live CD i can see all 3 disks [10:25] papul: what is "it" in your sentence? [10:25] Jimi_Neutral: gparted or what are you using? it needed ntfsprogs [10:26] Str82DHeaD, rebuild the boot-image [10:26] llutz, so basically i should have just restarted gparted after installing ntfsprogs lol [10:26] jrib: packages [10:26] how to do that when I can't even boot into OS [10:26] I pressed alt+f2 and typed "free the fish" and a fish appeared :( how do I get rid of this fish!? [10:26] lapion, [10:26] hi is anybody else using ubuntu on a macbook pro? my problem is i added the mactel repositories and installed the custom modules for the touchpad. nevertheless when i place my thumb on the lower part of the touchpad and try to move the pointer with my other fingers, it still recognizes this as "2 fingers on touchpad -> scroll" any1 knows how to fix that? another problem is that if i touch the pad with my palm then it simulates a click, s [10:26] like the palm detection doesn't work, any pointers? thx [10:26] papul: apt isn't meant for installing to /home and the location it installs to isn't easily changed [10:26] lapion, how to do that when I can't even boot into OS [10:26] I tried clicking on the fish and he swims away but reappears, linux is too powerful [10:27] jrib: ok seems like compiling with prefix is my only option then [10:27] papul: why can't you use apt the normal way? And what are you installing? [10:28] jrib: i have a remote shell and want to install a package in my home dir [10:28] Str82DHeaD, boot in rescue mode.. [10:28] hi [10:28] Str82DHeaD, from the dvd [10:28] papul: yeah, just build it then [10:28] does anyone knows what is the character ^@ and ^M ? [10:28] i think ^M is return but i have no idea about ^@ [10:29] nameless`: context? [10:29] ^M is Enter [10:29] jrib: ok thanks for the help :) [10:29] hi everybody .... I have the following error on some compilation GLX extension missing on server [10:29] lapion, any chance to loose any data? [10:29] jrib very weird issues... [10:29] I am using lucid 1004 64 bit with nvidia quadro 1600 M === jasman is now known as info [10:29] using the nvidia-current driver [10:29] what is supposed to provide the glx header? [10:30] Peddy: Nothing to do, once the fish is free you have to reinstall :þ Nah, a simple "killall gnome-panel" (it should respawn) might do it? [10:30] Str82DHeaD, as long as you don't start installing [10:30] Hi. In Lucid, I'll have to double-click twice to open an NTFS drive, that I automounted using /etc/fstab. Double-clicking it once should open it, right? [10:30] Str82DHeaD, that's why it's called rescue [10:31] lapion, just rebuilding to defaults ? [10:31] melrokz, depends on what options you set in fstab [10:31] if I run glxinfo I get a segmentation fault with Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [10:31] jrib using ubuntu 9.10, i made a C program that printf some text, something like printf("hello\n"); i compiled it and it worked well, but when i redirected the flow to a file like " ./program > file.log" the file was empty ! i tried replacing the printf by a write(1, "hello\n", 7) and it worked, but now i have each line beginning with ^@ and ending with ^M, when i cat this file it's ok, but if i open with gedit it's only weird cha [10:31] racter [10:31] defaults 0 0 [10:31] Str82DHeaD, you have to rebuild the initramfs only [10:31] can anyone tell me how to set firestarter to accept incoming connections via port 80? [10:32] Str82DHeaD, and make sure md/raid drivers are loaded [10:32] squarrel: did you tell it not to? [10:32] and the ntfs-3g driver. [10:32] jrib I did not tell it anything. I juts started it. [10:33] llutz, taking an awful long time to move it over....the HDD is on though. [10:33] squarrel: ah, does it come with some default rules then? [10:33] lapion, sorry for the noob question, how do I rebuild only initramfs ? [10:33] jrib it has some settings, yes [10:34] just remember that ntfs-3g userspace driver is really SLOW, whenever possible try using kernelspace ntfs driver [10:34] squarrel: I see. Well explore the gui, it should be fairly straightforward. By default no rules are set in the firewall, but I guess firestarter creates some [10:35] jrib I've been studying it for a while. the only thing I see could make a difference is to [10:35] oh! what's the other differences? Just typing ntfs instead of ntfs-3g will do ? [10:35] change the "Do not log entry for following:" [10:36] and than "Hosts:" and "Ports" [10:36] I have a problem with my second hard disk. I can use it in windows, but not in linux. [10:36] squarrel: don't you want to "add a rule"? [10:36] yes, but don't know how [10:36] squarrel: http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/manual/rules.php seems like there's a "Rules" menu [10:37] how do i autogenerate an xorg.conf? I was told i just needed to run: Xorg -configure. But thats not getting me anywhere [10:37] Could someone help me with my laptops install of lucid please? As far as I can tell everything is fine untill "checking battery state" or after since gdm and dbus won't start. [10:37] melrokz, most probably..

[10:40] i'll continue on my own [10:40] lapion, thanks a lot [10:40] melrokz, I have sometime ago stopped using ntfs in favor of ext4fs.. main reason: speed, secondary reason, fsck for ntfs can get so complicated that not even windows chkdsk can fix ntfs, and I have had to run ntfs-fsck multiple times before chkdsk would even do anything,.. I had to dump all data and redownload [10:41] I have a problem with my second hard disk. I can use it in windows, but not in linux.

[12:57] and I want to avoid that [12:58] Onepamopa: you proberly could. I always leave 512mb of swap on every hd just in case. [12:58] Onepamopa: it's fine. Though you could just try changing the value of swappiness too [12:58] swapness is 0 [12:58] already changed it [12:58] but it writes anyway ... [12:58] Onepamopa: a year or 3 ago ther ewas a big artical about using swap partitions or not. [12:58] do you have tmpfs? [12:58] sysctl vm.swappiness = 0 [12:58] Onepamopa: is it really causing an issue? [12:58] dr_willis I think it does [12:59] we use java server stuff and... the preformance of the app is terrible [12:59] when there's something @ the swap [12:59] LjL, that seems to be really fine. Do you have anything similar for Motherboards? [12:59] java is much better than flash [12:59] yo yo yo [12:59] Hmm... Id find that hard to belive. you could always just disable the sawp partition as a test Onepamopa [12:59] yfk: uhm, no, i don't think === juju2143 is now known as [J] [12:59] woolala Im not talking about web app ;) [12:59] Hi, I've upgraded to Kubuntu 10.04 (from 8.04). I had compiz installed. The 10.04 kde windows manager kept crashing (until I set the windows decoration to plastik) and the system seems to ignore my compiz settings. Is compiz incompatible with the 10.04 kde windows manager? Should I uninstall compiz? [12:59] it's a gameserver [12:59] something that would put an effort on my bridges... [12:59] at least, java won't store any secret data on your hdd [13:00] flash = spyware [13:00] aar: compiz is a window manager [13:00] LjL, thanks anywayz [13:00] is there a platform like adobe AIR that is completely open source? so like, I can compile it on my powerpc linux box [13:00] aar: it replaces kde's default which is kwin [13:00] blue_anna: not that i have seen/heard of yet. [13:01] ActionParsnip, why are my compiz settings (set through compizconfig) apparently ignored? [13:01] hi all - just upgraded to 10.4 and noticedd that the way that services are started and stopped have changed. Cant find anything in the offical ubuntu server guide. is there any way of reinstating the /etc/init.d/ method [13:01] aar: kde is a desktop environment: (k) (d)esktop (e)nvironment [13:01] !upstart | diazepam [13:01] diazepam: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [13:01] diazepam: what do you want to accomplish? [13:01] aar: run: compiz --replace in a konsole, see if it actually runs [13:01] diazepam: the move to upstart has been going on for the last few releases. [13:01] Dr_Willis well, swap's here for a reason, so if I disable it ... this can cause some issue when there's no memory free [13:02] Dr_Willis - is this only for Ubuntu or also Debian? [13:02] Onepamopa: if you are using 16gb of ram.. well... [13:02] @ the moment.. 7771 used, all rest is cache [13:02] and.. 120 mb @ swap [13:02] diazepam: other disrtos use upstart also ive heard but i dont know what ones [13:02] aar: if not then you may need to reinstall the video driver as it may not have survived the upgrade process [13:03] Onepamopa: worst case scenario, your app crashes horribly and you re-enable swap [13:03] that would be bad.... [13:03] Onepamopa: be interesting to see what is using the swap over the cache ram. [13:03] ActionParsnip, it has changed to a different windows manager (less flashy -- I suppose this is not compiz now) [13:03] Onepamopa: if you have all that ram then set vm.swappiness to 1 and your system will run smoother [13:03] Dr_Willis sure... [13:03] ActionParsnip vm.swapness is 0 [13:03] @ the moment [13:03] Onepamopa: could be a badly programed app. [13:03] aar: no, compiz --replace makes compiz run [13:03] and it still swaps ... === OerHeks is now known as Oer [13:03] Onepamopa: good lad, have you rebooted since setting that value? [13:04] 20 000 times ;) [13:04] Onepamopa: you could use the swapoff command to disable swap to see how it goes [13:04] ActionParsnip, there's some conflict in the configuration. I'll try to figure it out. [13:04] ActionParsnip I have to find out WHAT is using the swap first... [13:04] Onepamopa: if you reboot it will be enabled again so its a good test [13:04] anyone here got an thinkpad with APS and hdaps running? [13:05] ActionParsnip vm.swapness is @ sysctl.conf [13:05] what is the command line for the windows picker? [13:05] so it's always executed @ sys reboot [13:05] djbeenie: Sorrt friend. I got disconnected. Yes, I followed your proceedure, and it works! Thank you very much, my friend. And I wanted File Sharing too, so I asked about Samba. But I got to do it with Remote-Desktop. :) [13:05] last boot compiz got replaced by metacity, i think compiz crashed. now metacity started instead when i booted today. how do i get compiz back permanently without resetting the settings? i had customised lots and don't want to chose between the settings in the appearance properties dialog [13:05] any ... easy way of determining what is using the swap? ... [13:05] Onepamopa: yes but if you use swapoff it will disable the swap functionality til you reboot [13:06] ActionParsnip the problem is that.. if the swap is used by the java server.. [13:06] it will crash [13:06] djbeenie: Thanks again, :) [13:06] and 2k users will scream ;) [13:06] Onepamopa: if its ok then you can erradicate swap, many users do not use swap due to abundant ram [13:06] Onepamopa: indeed but a reboot will make it ok, if the java server is known to use swap regardless you can assume its just that [13:07] does anybody now what is the command line/applet for the window picker? [13:07] Onepamopa: you could make a ramdisk and ironically put swap oon that ;) [13:07] ramdisk... [13:07] I'm not sure if the ram will be enough [13:07] for sql+java [13:07] does anyone knows is there such thing like Adium (open source alternative) for Ubuntu? === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [13:07] Onepamopa: you have tonnes of ram dude [13:08] madjoe: my father uses one, but I don't know it off hand [13:08] I can try .. [13:08] madjoe: pidgin or empathy [13:08] madjoe, such as pidgin? [13:08] madjoe adium > empathy [13:08] Pidgin [13:08] ooh wait, I'm thinking quicksilver, not adium [13:08] alright thanks boys :) [13:08] I'd go read some howto's about ramdisk [13:08] somehow I find pidgin much more powerful with its additional extensions than empathy.. correct me if I'm wrong...

[13:10] ActionParsnip can u suggest the ramdisk size ? [13:10] what will be appropriate ? [13:10] hic: what client? [13:10] Onepamopa: and what are you going to do with a ramdisk> [13:10] ActionParsnip: irssi [13:10] Dr_Willis disable swap and use ramdisk instead [13:10] ActionParsnip: but do you know is there something more stable than this for Pidgin? http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/adium-themes-in-pidgin-ubuntu-karmic.html [13:10] !fr [13:10] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

You going to put your swap on the ramdisk> [13:11] ActionParsnip: thanks [13:11] madjoe: then use it, a million people will agree, a million people will disagree [13:11] Dr_Willis my swap usage isnt high, it's around 200-300 mb max [13:11] but when there's someting from the java in swap.. [13:11] preformance degrades [13:11] Onepamopa: personally I'd just let it bake, if its not affecting stuff then its fine [13:11] and with 2k users @ the server... it starts freezing [13:11] it... affects [13:12] that's why I'm here ;) [13:12] Onepamopa: oh, ignore that then :) [13:12] so... 512 ramdisk will be okay [13:12] Onepamopa: i'd say 512mb was fine [13:12] hey ppl [13:12] I'll do some reading and test it tonight [13:12] i need some good reliable voip soft [13:12] <_-XPERT-_> akashv still here?

[14:09] exit [14:09] i got a new mp3 player and dmesg shows that the device has an unknown partition format, even after a creating a new partition table with gparted, what could be the problem? [14:09] caac waht is the exact error message of nslookup www.google.com [14:10] Nevstah: the old dns server is listed in /etc/resolv.conf, right? [14:10] fysidax, wtf? [14:10] or does it times out [14:10] Nevstah, check your modem, and set the dhcp ip adress to a fixed adress [14:10] sipior: i commented out the old one (192.168.1.254) and added a new line for the new one [14:11] sipior: in resolv.conf, yea [14:11] Nevstah: but you want to use this old one now, if i understand you correctly? === juju2143 is now known as [J] [14:12] sipior: yea, i uncommented the old one, so back to how it 'sjhould' work, but nothing, i did interfaces restart also [14:13] Nevstah: and the other line is no longer present? you've verified that the modem is still listening at that address? [14:14] sipior: the modem is unchanged and i deleted the opendns line completely, now i have only: nameserver 192.168.1.254 === AnxiousNut is now known as AnxiousNut-Out [14:14] how do i use w3af [14:15] <{g}> Hey People! When imap login with Thunderbird is not working - is there a way to get more infos then just "login to server failed"? === AnxiousNut-Out is now known as AnxiousNut [14:15] is there a command i can write that tells me which kernel i'm running at the moment? [14:15] how do i use w3af [14:15] Question: Could I use OpenOffice.org Database to create the new database for syslog-ng instead of using Microsoft SQL like the documentation states? [14:16] Nevstah: you running nscd, by any chance? [14:16] sipior: no, i'm not [14:16] i dont know what that is [14:17] Nevstah: "name service caching daemon" [14:17] ah sorry, no i'm not running it - not installed [14:17] mr_boo: uname -r [14:17] teknoz, thanks [14:18] hi [14:18] I want to install the nxclient on ubuntu 10.04, but it complains about libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 missing [14:19] can't install it from repo :( [14:19] #ubuntu-de-offtopic [14:19] Nevstah: bit of a head-scratcher, this. you said before that you don't use dhcp for the linux box? [14:19] sipior: nah, no dhcp. [14:19] <{g}> Hey Ubuntu People! Whats a good linux email client? Im a bit fed up with Thunderbird getting more and more bloated. Mutt needs a seperate Mail Transfer Agent. I dont like that either. Anything else? [14:20] how can i check what nameserver it thinks its using? [14:20] @{g} Have you tried Evolution? :) [14:20] Nevstah: that's what dig is doing, in fact :-) [14:21] ok [14:21] Hi All - I am having problems getting sound through my motorola s9-hd bluetooth headset the SECOND time I connect. Only rebooting seems to correct the problem. Any troubleshooting ideas? [14:21] <{g}> kNNwOw: no, not yet. [14:21] dig doesnt list the current nameserver though [14:22] I have by a mistake removed my icon for network at the top panel in Ubuntu 10.04. Tryed to find it under "Add To Panel" but its not displayed in there! How do I get it back? [14:22] Nevstah: in fact, dig is supposed to query the hosts in /etc/resolv.conf in order, which is why i'm confused that it works with no trouble when you specify that address specifically. [14:22] I've been trying to install the gtk-dev library and I think I somehow killed some existing libraries. I installed the following libraries so far: glib, pango, and atk [14:22] Nevstah: when it returns a query, it does display the name server used [14:23] Now when I open an application like Calculator, all the text is composed of rectangles [14:23] is there a way to setup the udate manager to auto update [14:23] sipior: ok.. dumb question, should it be a space or tab between nameserver and IP? [14:23] why does Ubuntu's built-in VNC client always make the system crash and log out whenever I successfully connect to a VNC server (in this case, my jailbroken iPod touch)? [14:23] Hi [14:23] Could it be because of the atk library? [14:24] z3r0-c001: it should auto update by default [14:24] Nevstah: heh, good question. checking the man page now. i though any white space was sufficient, but perhaps not. [14:24] Is there a repository to get a 2.6.34 kernel or do I have to compile it by myself? [14:25] no its not it automaticly tells you there are updates not perform them [14:25] sipior: i've just tried both lol. my resolution order is set to "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4" if that helps [14:25] z3r0-c001: oh, you meant that :/ [14:25] Nevstah: looks right [14:26] z3r0-c001: well, just go to System -> Administratotion -> Software Sources, then Updates and make sure "Install security updates without configuration" is enabled [14:26] thnx === TREllis_ is now known as TREllis [14:27] Good morning peoples [14:27] frxstrem thnx [14:27] Nevstah: you might try losing the mdns stuff temporarily, as a test [14:27] sipior: mdns? [14:27] does vnc really not work frxstrem [14:28] Nevstah: the "mdns4_minimal" stuff in /etc/nsswitch.conf [14:28] z3r0-c001: well, not the client, at least not for me :/ [14:28] hi [14:28] Nevstah: just leave "dns" as the only entry for now. (keep a copy of the original file, of course :-) [14:29] ok [14:29] Anyone around that can maybe help me with something [14:29] sipior: nah still no go :( [14:29] !ask| PureEvil [14:29] PureEvil: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [14:30] I'm trying to install ATI drivers for my radeon 9800 pro and I get this error [14:30] Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version [14:30] default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.32-22-generic; make sure that the version is being [14:30] correctly set by --iscurrentdistro [14:30] PureEvil: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:30] are there any alternative VNC clients that I can use instead of the one in Ubuntu (Vinagre)? [14:30] I'm a linux noob I just made the switch a day ago [14:30] PureEvil: you sure the ati drivers even support that card? [14:30] yes [14:31] frxstrem: theres several vnc clients in the repos. [14:31] morning === alema0 is now known as alema0d0wn [14:31] Dr_Willis: do you have some recommendations? [14:31] frxstrem: i tend to use tightvnc [14:31] Nevstah: hmm. unfortunately, i have to run off to a meeting at the moment, apologies. you might try grabbing a dhcp lease from your modem, and see what nameserver it drops in resolv.conf. you can always reverse that if you don't like dhcp for some reason later on. a real puzzler: good luck sorting it out! [14:31] Dr_Willis: okay, thanks :) [14:31] :q [14:32] sipior: no prob will try it! thanks very much for the time :) [14:33] PureEvil, you should probably install those drivers through the Restricted Drivers control panel, and not by downloading an executable. [14:34] does anyone know of any reasons that programs listed gnome's "startup applications" wouldn't run? [14:34] *listed in [14:34] ohw would I get to that lol [14:35] Hi guys, I'm trying to use Desktop Sharing on this Mac to connect to a Ubuntu 10.04 system. I type in vnc://WALL-E.local on the "Connect to Server" window and the Ubuntu system picks up the connection, but the Mac still says "Contacting WALL-E" and won't start. Any suggestions? [14:35] bbryant, easy way to find out: from the startup applications window, click the application of interest and then "Properties"; now copy out the Command line, and paste it into a terminal. What do you see? [14:35] LogicalDash: they work when run by themselves [14:35] PureEvil, it should be under System->Administration [14:35] some applications, possibly all, just don't run from there [14:36] the most notable being the power and network managers [14:36] bbryant, I suppose you should look at the system log, then. [14:37] bbryant, System->Administration->System Monitor, it has a tab for the log [14:37] you guys have any ideas? [14:37] Sir_Konrad, make sure you're using the same VNC app on both computers? I dunno [14:37] LogicalDash: ok [14:38] Hi room === AnxiousNut is now known as AnxiousNut-Phone [14:40] OK, this is weird.

[14:42] desktop-newbie: Just to make sure: Your optical drive does support the DVD-format, right? (+/-) [14:42] learner7: theres the #lubuntu channel that may know of some issues with pcmanfm [14:43] Question: I'm trying to configure my PAM configuration file so that my /var/log/faillog file will actually show me something instead of popping up with xCHM everytime. . I do not see the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file, but I do see the /etc/pam.d/common-auth file.

[14:43] how do I prevent the system from going into standby when I close the lid? [14:43] circuitman, you know that space on the top of your screen, right next to the clock, where there are icons for network and power and volume? There's also an icon that looks like an envelope. Click it.

[14:46] Sir_Konrad, yw [14:46] My Lucid install has a hugely annoying bug: When logging out of one account while another account is logged in, it just drops to a black screen—no cursor, no prompt, nothing. Sometimes Ctrl>Alt>Del shuts it down from this state, sometimes not. In those cases, I have to kill it by holding down the power button. This has happened about once a day ever since the final Lucid release. I need help. [14:46] LogicalDash: i think i've enabled the accounts [14:46] LogicalDash: there is no restricted drivers,only hardware drivers [14:46] elric, that'll do [14:47] I think I got the name wrong ;{ [14:47] (firefox-bin:2129): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead my xsession-errors file is flooded with these lines. do you have any hint?

You can copy teh dvd to a ISO FILE on the hard drive and probely play it. If theres some hardware lock due to region codes. You may have to. (ive neer had to mess with region codes very much), i THOUGHT that vlc ignroed region codes. [14:52] benkong2: beacuse you need to use sudo su [14:52] I am installing clutter-flow for nautilus [14:52] benkong2: ubuntu by default uses sudo, you can't just use su, without root rights [14:53] aha! hmmmm [14:53] benkong2: and for su to work as root, you'll need sudo su [14:53] ok thanks [14:53] benkong2: sudo -i is advised over sudo su [14:53] benkong2, I would guess it to be that something in the make script is dropping permissions. sudo only holds onto permissions for one command. [14:53] I guess the instructions on webupd8 need updating === Ubot-Tn is now known as MaWaLe [14:53] Dr_Willis: did that but it returned "couldnt finfd the package" [14:53] benkong2: we remove sudo here for our machines, but ubuntu is not really prepared for it, since some gui software rely on sudo [14:53] and fail to work when it [14:53] The battery indicator seems to be completely screwed,its just not refreshin [14:53] is not around [14:53] Oxford: check the spelling. use TAB to complete the name.

[14:55] ya know an exot 1; or a die(); or something [14:55] hola [14:55] bayer, no i want a certain line, that if hit, will exit [14:55] tarzeau: true but i believe they may be deps of the app, removing sudo is a really bad call [14:55] Dr_Willis: ubuntu10.04 [14:55] Question: I have by a mistake removed my icon for network at the top panel in Ubuntu 10.04.

[14:56] ActionParsnip: yeah i got that but what about "setup.sh" [14:56] mcl0vin, they want you to download and install lirc. They're giving you instructions for using a tarball. This is probably unnecessary; you can install the Debian package instead for much less effort: [sudo apt-get install lirc] [14:56] tarzeau: like editting files outside of $HOME [14:56] pici: its an error message a bug do you know what it is?

[14:58] ActionParsnip: yes [14:58] ActionParsnip: we only run administration stuff as root user, and user stuff as user user [14:58] pici: shutdown -h now [14:58] tarzeau: it just needs to be a member of the admin group [14:58] ActionParsnip: that's not how it works everywhere [14:58] tarzeau: i am using mozilla firefox [14:58] mcl0vin, as for setup.sh, it would appear that this particular tarball uses a configuration script that doesn't work right, and they are giving you instructions for making it work right. You don't have to. Just use the Debian package. [14:58] ActionParsnip: and sudo doesn't make things safer. [14:58] tarzeau: well if you use sudo you dont need 2 users, you can have one user which is simpler [14:58] Oxford: i'm sorry for you :) [14:58] tarzeau, thanks [14:58] ActionParsnip: well actually not so, if you're 9 administrators [14:58] tarzeau: sudo on its own, no but the other implications it gives does [14:59] ActionParsnip: you can't share this ONE user among 9 people [14:59] any ideas on how to go about installing latest version of flash player [14:59] Dr_Willis, what is the solution? [14:59] LogicalDash: so just do it thru aptitude [14:59] ActionParsnip: look we don't like sudo, we use su [14:59] mcl0vin, yeah, that's usually better [14:59] tarzeau: then you have no auditting of who did what if you only use one user, bad choice dude [14:59] desktop-newbie: depends on the actual issue. theres no magic fix for everyone [14:59] ActionParsnip: if ubuntu can not support their applications being run without sudo, that's really bad [14:59] tarzeau: they are and its worked well since its release [14:59] ActionParsnip: no not exactly, we do have auditing, but without sudo [15:00] asdfa [15:00] LogicalDash:ok [15:00] Oxford, i have the same idea as ubuttu [15:00] ActionParsnip: ubuntu exists not as long as we do [15:00] ActionParsnip: and it worked just fine and great without ubuntu, 10 years ago [15:00] mcl0vin: edit the setup.sh file and scroll to the line it says and make the appropriate changes [15:00] ActionParsnip: if you knew the history of sudo, you'd know it was a security holes many times itself [15:00] tarzeau: well this is how ubuntu chooses to implement some security [15:01] how to install .so file [15:01] The mouse scroll speed is very slow, can I change this. If yes, how? Thanks. [15:01] Ramraid: What version of Ubuntu are you using currently? [15:01] Oxford: whats the filename? [15:01] ActionParsnip: as i said, adding sudo doesn't make things more secure [15:01] Oxford: you are best to uise the version in the repos i imagine. [15:01] ActionParsnip: where can i find 'setup.sh' [15:01] ActionParsnip: it's not the items that make things secure [15:01] Oxford: installing flash from the adobe site can sometimes not work properly [15:01] mcl0vin: in the files you extracted [15:01] [LAN file transfer via Avahi] Nautilus shows "network:///Öffentliche Dateien von detlef auf T42" on 2 computers in a LAN.

[15:02] mozilla [15:02] ActionParsnip: that's what i do, we remove sudo, and do it another way [15:02] tarzeau: thats fine [15:02] ActionParsnip: yes it is. but some software has bugs, and it's not working properly as it should [15:02] Hi [15:02] ActionParsnip: i'm glad we don't work in the same office [15:02] ActionParsnip: i didn't download it, i got it thru apt-get [15:02] Ramraid: What does uname -r report?

I know Linux tends to associate owner ID's with names... aka Jason might be user 1001, Fred might be 1002, etc. I have NO clue how I could possibly re-add all users on the new server and get them dead-on to match the permissions. Is there any way I can save those accordingly and transfer them w/o a headache? [15:32] thnx idleone === austin is now known as Austin__ [15:33] z3r0-c001: welcome [15:33] Roasted: rsync can do that [15:33] Roasted: if the usernames exist [15:33] Aji-Dahaka, right - but that doesn't solve the issue with the usernames. [15:33] otherwise...if it is a _new_ server, you could just coppy the passwd file === redalert is now known as MaJic_NinJa [15:34] ActionParsnip: doesn't work [15:34] alternatively, if it is not quite new, it is easy to merge the passwd files. [15:34] "easy" [15:35] [LAN file transfer via Avahi] Nautilus shows "network:///Öffentliche Dateien von detlef auf T42" on 2 computers in a LAN.

What is the reason? === juju2143 is now known as [J] [15:35] When I do startx, I only see the mouse and nothing, any ideas why? [15:35] does the passwd file have the association from jason = user 1001, fred = user 1002, etc. then could I use that + rsync as root to preserve any and ALL changes accordingly so when I launch the new server its like nothing ever changed? [15:35] Aji-Dahaka, ^ [15:36] Aji-Dahaka, sorry I got disconnected. thats another problem Im having with my ubuntu laptop. I magically lose connection to wireless every 2-3 minutes. [15:36] weeeeeee. === zys is now known as disappearedng === [J] is now known as juju2143 [15:36] Roasted__: ah, so you did. you can just merge/copy the passwd files, that should be fairly easy. [15:37] Aji-Dahaka, where is the passwd file located? [15:37] I was just using Rythmbox to rip some CDs to "High Quality MP3". That command appears to invoke lame with the V2 variable bitrate (VBR) enconding; however, the mp3s produced appear to be fixed average bitrate (ABR) at 128 kbps. Is this a known issue? [15:37] Roasted__: in /etc [15:38] Roasted__: it is easily readable. try vipw (as root) [15:38] Aji-Dahaka, I see that. I just nano'd it. [15:38] Aji-Dahaka, have youe ver done this? Im curious if merging this passwd file would somehow create home directories for these users too. [15:38] Roasted__: you will want to either run it in vipw or learn the command to make the shadow file for you. (probably vipw) [15:38] Has anyone else followed the freenx guide at this url and found it.. err.. sort of wrong for 10.04? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [15:38] Aji-Dahaka, not that I need home directories. I use my own shares. [15:38] Hi guys! Quick question: Some of my removable hard drives fail to mount even when they are all in the fstab with the UUID's correct and everything... Why do they fail to mount? I have ownership [15:38] How do I get my runlevel changed to 3 or something that doesn't go into a gui on Ubuntu 10.04? I want to have my computer boot into a console and then make me login and startx. I've tried update-rc.d -f gdm remove as well as the cli text-gui tool, rcconf neither worked when I disabled gdm. [15:38] Roasted__: it would not make home directories automatically. it only creates user entries. [15:39] Hi, in Lucid the indicator applet's icons are spaced out and it looks incredibly ugly. Is there any way to make them not spaced out? It takes upp too much room and doesnt fit in with the rest of them due to the size in teh spaces. Any way to fix this disaster of design? Also, is there any way to separate the app icons, since they all have nothing to do with each other? The mail icon and the volume icon have nothing to do with each [15:39] Aji-Dahaka, okay. thats fine. But i wonder though. If I add users, I wonder if they can log in to the system..... [15:40] Roasted__: if you want them to, you can make it so they can. If you do not want them to, set their shell to something like nologin [15:40] wizard_: as if these were the only problems [15:40] Dr_Willis, I'm running freenx on Lucid, and it's working fine, but it's an upgrade from karmic, so I didn't follow those new instructions nor install the neatx package (at least, not manually). [15:40] tarzeau: oh, these are not the only problems, I just couldnt fit it all in one paragraph. [15:40] Aji-Dahaka, how would I make it so they can log in? by them logging in would it auto-generate a home directory for them? [15:41] wizard_: :) do you have a webpage/wiki listing all of yours? [15:41] Dr_Willis, I'm actually kind of curious what that changes, now that you pointed it out. [15:41] Roasted__: the way it works, in a general sense, is when a user tries to log in to a *nix system, the login system checks with PAM. PAM checks the passwd file for a user entry, checks the password against the password in the shadow file, and if successful runs the command at the end of their passwd entry. [15:41] unperson: yea. there seems to be some missing info/steps and the start where they mention neatx-server - well.. neatx-server installed.. but dident do anything or start up any service.. [15:41] Roasted__: logging in will not auto-generate a homedirectory for them. === Guest48535 is now known as sloopy [15:42] Aji-Dahaka, will they get an error for not having a home directory? I fail to see how this could be seamless.... [15:42] unperson: i then installed the freenx server, but it dident auto start, the nxsetup command seems missing now also. [15:42] How can I 'dump' the xorg.conf from the actual (automatic) configuration? [15:42] Roasted__: they will if you do not make home directories for them. [15:42] unperson: sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install (not there) [15:42] is there a way I can schedule Ubuntu Updates at 2:15 AM? [15:42] Roasted__: that said, if you were either using network-mounted /home or copying their home directories, that would iron out teh seams === Votan is now known as Votan|off [15:42] Hi guys! Quick question: Some of my removable hard drives fail to mount even when they are all in the fstab with the UUID's correct and everything... Why do they fail to mount? I have ownership [15:42] unperson: i ran the server manually. so it is working. but the upstart script in /etc/init/freenx-XXXXX has issues it seems also [15:43] Roasted__: otherwise, if you just want blank home directories for them, you can "mkdir" for each of the home directories. a quick for loop and cut should do nicely. [15:43] Hate to ask the same question twice and annoy everyone, but how can I get rid of my graphics login and go to a text one by default? [15:43] Dr_Willis, Yeah, that's...inconvenient to say the least. [15:43] jteknet: stop the gdm service. disable it if you want it permenet [15:43] jteknet: remove gdm? [15:43] jteknet: I think you would have to edit the *think* inittab or disable the gdm service [15:43] Aji-Dahaka, so if this happens and a user logs in and theres no home directory, what if they save something on the desktop, etc? wheres it go? wheres it reside? [15:44] Dr_Willis, But it explains why I didn't notice any problem, since I didn't need the setup script either. [15:44] Sir_Konrad, cron might be a way. [15:44] Roasted__: there is no desktop to save to. If you want them to log in, you should somehow create a home directory for them. [15:44] when i run a script which has wget command: it returned as " wget :command not found" [15:44] can someone tell me what's the point of ^ in sudo aptget install lamp-server^ [15:44] Dr_Willis, wizard_, Aji-Dahaka: Thanks, checking it out. [15:44] unperson: yep. Freenx seems a LOT nicer then VNC in the last 10 min ive used it. [15:44] jteknet: you can uninstall gdm on its own [15:44] Robert_Zenz: what commands? [15:44] disappearedng: typo? [15:44] Oxford: try 'wget --help' to be sure its installed? [15:44] ActionParsnip: apt-get remote gdm? [15:44] * Aji-Dahaka guesses [15:45] *remove rather [15:45] jteknet: yes, and then apt-get autoremove to clean apt [15:45] jteknet: will need sudo but yes [15:45] jteknet: you dont need to remove gdm. just disable the service.. [15:45] Dr_Willis, did that.... wget : not found [15:45] Dr_Willis, I haven't used VNC much, so I can't compare. I've mostly ever used simple X11 tunneled through SSH. [15:45] Oxford: so... instll wget.. [15:45] Dr_Willis: I tried. Keeps going into gdm anyway [15:45] Aji-Dahaka: no [15:45] LogicalDash: Updating drivers didn't work. The only difference I saw was that the black screen on boot didn't flicker, and it displayed three lines ending with "assuming driver cache: write through" just before the ubuntu splash screen came up. I logged into three accounts, then logged out of the third, and got a blank screen and had to hold down the power button to shut down. After that, even the boot process appeared the same as it had befo [15:45] thanks [15:45] jteknet: rename the /etc/init/gdm.conf to be /etc/init/gdm.DISABLED [15:45] Aji-Dahaka, so more or less, if I merge a passwd file for them, they CAN log in - but they wont get any errors - they just cant save anywhere. Is that the general idea? [15:45] Dr_Willis, And I can say that it's a hell of a lot better than that if you have anything other than a very fast connection, or if certain visual effects are used. [15:45] jteknet: or 'sudo service gdm stop' for a one time stoppage. [15:45] Dr_Willis: Thanks, trying now! [15:46] jteknet: its possible theres a sysv script for gdm in /etc/rc2.d also [15:46] Hi, in Lucid the indicator applet's icons are spaced out and it looks incredibly ugly. Is there any way to make them not spaced out? It takes upp too much room and doesnt fit in with the rest of them due to the size in teh spaces. Any way to fix this disaster of design? Also, is there any way to separate the app icons, since they all have nothing to do with each other? The mail icon and the volume icon have nothing to do with each === obiwan_ is now known as obiwans_bitch [15:46] Roasted__: they will get an error if they do not have their home directory, but the shell will do something "reasonable" like put them in / [15:46] wizard_: screenshots? [15:46] Dr_Willis, The dimming out that Ubuntu goes for the password prompt, for example, would basically cause forwarded X Sessions to grind to a halt. [15:46] Dr_Willis: Trying the /etc/init possible fix for now. [15:46] so it is more of a warning, really [15:47] tarzeau: why do you need screenshots of that? Just login with Gnome and look at the applet, its horrid looking. [15:47] twig11, sounds like a bug to me. If you would search launchpad for like-sounding bugs, and comment on them with whatever you have to add, that would be great. [15:47] Wizard, you can right click and chjhose move and then move them to where you want [15:47] wizard_: well it's fun but different users get different gnome looks here [15:47] wizard_: looks fine here dude [15:47] wizard_: some are missing the logout button [15:47] Dr_Willis, Anyway, I'm unfortunately not experienced enough with setting up freenx to be of much help, I imagine. I wonder if there might be a deb elsewhere that would work better. [15:47] hvralpha: moving them isnt what is needed. All of the icons are in ONE applet, and ALL move together. Its ugly. [15:47] wizard_: some come with config files existing (older gnome software) [15:47] when I go to do "Personal File Sharing", it says that I need to install some packages. What packages do I need to install? [15:47] samba? [15:47] wizard_: and really it's a big mess. that's why i ask for screenshots [15:47] LogicalDash: Thanks for the help anyhow :-) [15:47] tarzeau: logout isnt a part of that applet. [15:48] wizard_: i wasn't refering to your lone problem, but about everything in lucid [15:48] unperson: i got the debs and got it installed.. it seems that there been some changes to the support tools and the docs are out of date. But ive not looked too hard into it. :) i might have it working now [15:48] twig11, you're welcome! [15:48] jteknet edit /etc/default/grub and add the word text i.e. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet text" [15:48] Aji-Dahaka, so more or less, if I export the passwd file, merge to new server, all of my users are there. Likewise, if I run rsync as root or even just gksudo nautilus and copy/paste accordingly, the shares will be there and everything will be matched up. The only curve ball is when users may log in - however for a server, users shouldnt be "logging in" to it anyway I suppose. [15:48] jteknet then in terminal sudo update-grub [15:49] is there a way to just check for broken packages [15:49] Wizard, the notifications is in one panel, but everyting else is movable [15:49] twig11, for what it's worth, you're now subscribed to the latest backported drivers (that is, drivers coded for the next release of ubuntu, ported back to this one) [15:49] so, if they fix the bug, you'll get the fix [15:50] ActionParsnip: This looks OK to you? How do I make it so there are no spaces? I'd also like each of these apps to me movible on their own instead of married to this applet since they have NOTHING to do with each other. Its a friggin' mess. http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/3852/screenshot5c.png [15:50] iflema: Seems to have worked, logging in and trying a startx now!

Thanks! === obiwans_bitch is now known as obiwan_ [15:50] wizard_: is it the same with a different theme? [15:50] jteknet all good with quiet or did you remove it also? [15:50] ActionParsnip: yesa === Guest72542 is now known as jay2001 [15:50] yes* [15:51] unperson: i seem to have it working now. the servies dident want to start untill i got the other things going it seems [15:51] iflema: Left quiet on there. I'm guessing that just keeps it from scrolling the text that unix is known for at bootup? [15:51] ActionParsnip: its a mess no matter which theme I use, very very ugly. Also doesnt matter which icons I use, it still is spaced out [15:51] wizard_: looks ok to me but the size of the screen isnt demonstrated in the tiny shot [15:51] To anyone wondering about my earlier query, yes it is apparently a known bug in Rhythmbox that it ignores those settings for mp3 encoding. Sound like this has been known since Karmic at least. [15:52] ActionParsnip: size of the screen is irrelevant, Im talking about teh spaces between the icons. Just a sec, I'll contrast that with other icons that I CAN move to be closer together. [15:52] hi there [15:52] :) [15:52] Hi all [15:52] hi [15:52] how is it going people :) [15:52] ActionParsnip: http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/562/screenshot6uf.png see, these icons ae NOT spaced out and look OK to me. [15:52] I have a quick question (I hope). === acr0nym_ is now known as acr0nym [15:53] i want read/write access for users, what am i doing wrong in fstab? /dev/sdb2 /media/wd ext4 auto,user,rw 0 2 [15:53] Dr_Willis, Not sure what "the other things" are, but glad you got it working. I don't know if you've looked into changing the client key for nx login, but it's not too hard and may be worth doing. [15:53] unperson: the key generation , and theres some 'server-helper' command that i think replaces that other setup command now. [15:53] wizard_: i see now [15:53] Dr_Willis, I see. Good to know, since I may want to install it on Lucid in the future. [15:54] i have a question about ubuntu 10.4 "^^ [15:54] unperson: saw some message about copyinmg a key to the clients. that would let me get a passwordless login? [15:54] TheEpicness: ask! [15:54] Dr_Willis, No. [15:54] wizard_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/533544 [15:54] can i play games on full screen [15:54] ? [15:54] ActionParsnip: any ideas on how to fix this? The applet is so ugly that I dont want to use it, but since the devs thought they would make decisions for me, I have no other option if I wish to have access to these applications since they only open minimized to teh tray. [15:54] TheEpicness: sure [15:54] Dr_Willis, The way it works is that you're loging in to the ssh server first as the user "nx" [15:54] TheEpicness: i do for a gr3at many games [15:54] i cant on my pc "^^ [15:54] ActionParsnip: dead link, try again. [15:54] Okay, so I see all this talk about NX'ing I've been using nomachine for about a week which, of course, is simple to set up but also only allows two simultaneous logins. Do freenx and neatx allow for unlimited and are they at the same level of quality as nomachine? I may be switching today if they are... [15:54] I am using eclipse to edit files on a network share (smbfs mounted) and am getting an error that the file "has been changed on the file system" every time a re-focus the eclipse window. I can find other people with the problem (thanks google) but no solutions. Any ideas? [15:54] TheEpicness: which games? [15:54] jteknet not exactly... quiet just suppresses non critical info.... [15:55] Dr_Willis: so can i [15:55] im trying right now maple story ( private server ) [15:55] Dr_Willis, That client key is for key-based authentication of the user nx. Your clients will need that key to login at all, I think. [15:55] unperson: ahh. Ok. gotta read the docs some i guess.. but at least its ready for this soon tobe headless server. [15:55] and it gives me a strange error [15:55] wizard_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/533544 [15:55] iflema: Oh, okay. Well I left it on and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a million. [15:55] wizard_: all you had to do was delete the last character [15:55] Dr_Willis, Then you are presented with a login for the particular user, and assuming you get the password right, you're switched to that user. [15:55] unperson: odd. :) i dident need it.. perhaps the qtnx tool set it up as i logged in. [15:56] tarzeau: and i tried genesis emulator and snes emulator [15:56] ActionParsnip: sorry, I cant read your mind and find yoru URL typos on my own. All you had to do was copy/paste the proper URL. [15:56] all of them doesn't work correctly [15:56] ( i cant see anything on the full screen mode) [15:56] TheEpicness: tried alt-enter ? [15:56] wizard_: i did but it borked someplace, anyhoo you have the bug.Keep your eye on it [15:56] ya [15:56] alt-enter bring it back to the window mode [15:57] Dr_Willis, That is weird. Based on my (limited) understanding, it shouldn't work that way. I mean, the nx user is only logging in using key-based auth, so if you don't have the right key configured you ought to be shut out. And IIRC that was my experience when I first changed the key. [15:57] but the full screen doesn't work [15:57] guys anybody running phenny has it configured to use a registered nick? how? [15:57] Dr_Willis, But I've been using the NoMachine client rather than qtnx, so I can't speak to that directly. [15:57] and maple story ... i cant force it to go on window mode [15:57] when i plug in my external hard drive it automounts, right? Well, how do I change the permissions on them? Doing the standard Propertes>permissions thingie doesn't work at all [15:58] unperson: yea. qtnx is just a fancy qt frontend it seems. (well a basic front end) [15:58] my internal hd does not automount [15:58] whats wrong with that [15:58] Dr_Willis, I wonder if for some reason it didn't actually switch they key it was using. [15:58] unperson: yea it might not. I saw mentioon of thekeys int he forums. but dident look into it much [15:58] matmat: and the filesystem on the hd is? and you have a fstab entry for it? [15:59] guys, what packages do I need to install file sharing? [15:59] do u have any idea that make it work ... [15:59] its ext4 and yes [15:59] (i can play maple on virtualbox ... but the other stuff? [15:59] matmat: double check the fstab entry. see if 'sudo mount -a' mounts it. [15:59] Looking at the newest Ubuntu, I have a hard time believing the gnome devs actually use gnome. [15:59] Dr_Willis, Yes. It's not clear to me how vital it is to change the key, but it does seem to offer some additional security. [15:59] and well now it does automount, but i cant write [16:00] matmat: ok.. for ext2/3/4 you have to have the proper ownership/permissions setup to allow users to fully access the places on the filesystem [16:00] same as if it was a users home dir. [16:00] i get erros when i install new stuff anybody help me [16:00] Dr_Willis, I think that if you change it, then you're protected by the security of the ssh login process, whereas without it anyone can use the standard nx key to get the privs of nx on your system, and you're relying on the security of the nx login process (which I assume is the shell for that user, though I haven't looked). [16:00] whats ownership setup? [16:00] like chown? [16:00] !permissiona | matmat [16:00] matmat: yes. [16:01] !permissions | matmat [16:01] matmat: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:01] <_UsUrPeR_> is anybody in here familiar with apticron? I have it set up properly, but it's not sending email to me when system updates are required. [16:01] matmat: thats part of the core of security in linux. [16:01] i want ubuntu to mount drives at boot without editing fstab [16:01] so i have an asus wl-167g which uses ralink rt2500, on 10.04 it associates and connects with wpa2, but the connection just becomes unconnectable after about 4 minutes [16:01] is there some sort of power saving feature that can be disabled? [16:01] clone4ubuntu: edit rc.local to mount them then. :) thats worse the editing fstab in ways [16:01] Dr_Willis, But there's the trade-off that if you change it then you have to manually transfer and import the new client key for each client that want's to connect. In my view, it's worthwhile if you have only a few users with good computer skills but perhaps not otherwise. [16:02] tarzeau are u there ?? [16:02] guys, what packages do I need to install file sharing? [16:02] unperson: yea. I got 1 user. :) me.. and my lan is behind a router. [16:02] do i setup the permission for the mount target directory, or just for the stuff in it? [16:02] ok is there a way to execute readonly that are not marked as executible? like .exe on a cd for example, wine wont run them cause they arent executible [16:02] when i plug in my external hard drive it automounts, right? Well, how do I change the permissions on them? Doing the standard Propertes>permissions thingie doesn't do it [16:02] matmat: depends on exactly what you want.. both most likely. [16:02] Sir_Konrad: can you expand on "file sharing" [16:02] why does the full texlive package always get installed? what is pulling it in? === aybabtu is now known as Guest44053 [16:02] what are keyrings? [16:02] TheEpicness: yes [16:03] Sir_Konrad: like torrents sharing or sharing folders on a lan...how do you mean [16:03] matmat: you can chown/chmod the mountpoint so the user can access fully the 'root' of the drive. and chown/chmod the files ON the filesystemm allreayd. so they can access those. [16:03] welcome back :P [16:03] ActionParsnip: Personal File Sharing. I want to copy files from one computer to the other via the network. [16:03] Dr_Willis, Yeah, if you're just using it on your LAN and it's behind NAT, then I personally wouldn't sweat it, unless you're keeping classified docs or mob accounting books or something. :-) === dougztr_ is now known as dougztr [16:03] !samba | Sir_Konrad [16:03] Sir_Konrad: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[16:03] ActionParsnip: will it work with Mac OS X? [16:03] that sounds good Dr_Willis [16:04] Sir_Konrad: sure, mac can connect to samba shares too [16:04] ActionParsnip: ok. thanks! [16:04] actually OS-X can also do ssh and nfs cant it? [16:04] Dr_Willis: I know it has ssh at least [16:04] hi all [16:04] Afternoon. I have set mysql to log to /var/log/mysql/mysql.log but the log file is empty despite queries made. Is there a special trick to it in karmic?

[16:06] can anyone help me with permissions on an automounting external hdd? [16:07] sh1ny: no it seems ok, even using dual monitors [16:07] Hi, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 on compaq cq40-401ax. All seems perfect except the wireless connection. Somehow it couldn't detect my wi fi. [16:07] im still here u know "^^ [16:07] greggomano, what's happening when you plug it in and then you look at the output of dmesg? [16:07] Is it possible to connect to another computer using a network cable without having a switch (in ubuntu) ? [16:07] dougztr, cool i decided to stick with radeon drivers for my ati, with the fglrx it gets all cranky [16:07] unperson: heh opennx client has a nicer front end.. but it just segfaulted. :( === Votan|off is now known as Votan [16:08] sh1ny: depends on the chipset which one works better, mine has only partial support in radeon (hd4830) [16:08] natrixnatrix89: sure, you will need to set static IP address as there is no DHCP server, you will also need a crossover cable to connect the 2 [16:08] ActionParsnip: regarding the indicator applet - I can verify this patch works. You may wish to save this for future reference until the devs decide to include it in the updates or next release. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48423654/applet-main.diff [16:08] thedude42 when i plug it in, it mounts and I can do whatever i want with it - accessing it in samba all of a sudden gives me problems with supposed permissions [16:08] sh1ny: Cheers. I am using the correct syntax, general_log = 1 and general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log for version 5.1.37 of mysql. It still is not working with no notification of what is wrong. [16:08] wizard_: is it submitted on the bug? [16:08] ActionParsnip: so the classical network cable wont do? [16:09] dude42 looking at the output of dmesg makes me see spots [16:09] dougztr, i'm on 4670, works kinda good, with fglrx my video playback gets all flickery and all that [16:09] ActionParsnip: yes, but that was a dupe you sent me, and I found the original URL. [16:09] natrixnatrix89: no such thing dude, there are 2 standards. patch and crossover [16:09] greggomano, that sounds like samba configuration is causing your issues [16:09] wizard_: then you should say that the patch fixed it for you, this should be incorporated in the next release :) [16:10] funkyweasel, maybe there's not much to log ? do you do anything in at all ? i wll have to go back home and check my config there to see how i got it to work === J0hn|zZz is now known as J0hn^X3r [16:10] ActionParsnip: it still doesn't work. I'm in System>Preferences>Personal File Sharing [16:10] thedude42 - i haven't done anything to configure samba (just right-click>share) and there are no problems with accessing the internal hdd on the same machine === kai_kracker is now known as kai_62656 [16:10] greggomano, if you haven't created the samba users, or if you're trying to allow anonymous access, you need to go through your smb.conf carefully [16:10] natrixnatrix89: patch connects end systems to interconnection devices, crossover connects peer to peer [16:10] ActionParsnip: it's telling me that required packages are not installed. [16:10] sh1ny: I am performing queries against the database, they are returning results. [16:10] Sir_Konrad: sudo apt-get install samba [16:10] ActionParsnip: oh. thanks [16:10] funkyweasel, weird [16:10] ActionParsnip: I installed SAMBA. It doesn't seem to make a change to that window. [16:10] greggomano, right, because accessing the drive from the local system is completely different than accessing it via samba [16:11] sh1ny: Dissapointing.

[16:11] Sir_Konrad: you can right click folders in nautilus to configure shares, or use /etc/samba/smb.conf if you want old skool [16:11] funkyweasel, get aboard of the pgsql train :D [16:11] hei there [16:11] maybe i'm dumb, but i chmod 667 the mount target, chown to the current user, now i cant even access it anymore [16:11] thedude42 not what i meant - accessing the internal hdd via samba gives no problems - it's only the automounted external hdd that's not working [16:11] permission denied [16:11] sh1ny: That's a lovely suggestion, but I'd rather not port all our apps at work to another db solution.

[16:13] sh1ny: Worked on previous version of ubuntu before I upgraded too. [16:13] greggomano, right, again, if your samba share for the external drive has different set of access rights than the internal drive then this is not surprising..... to diagnose this you'll need to use the smbclient command line tool [16:14] ActionParsnip: it seems to be working. Thanks again. [16:14] kong: there should be some error messages? [16:14] how to work with ftp [16:15] prageeth: use a ftp program? [16:15] mickster04, WHere do i find the errors?

Perhaps mysql is being disingenious about where it is placing the log. Maybe it is an access issue. I don't really have time to fart about with yet another varigarity of linux-in-not-working-as-expected-shocker.

[17:01] Toaday: Just ask your question about RAID [17:01] jken418 can you explain a little more ... doesnt seem logical if my system in secure from the outside why it being open to me would be an issue [17:01] Toaday: what does "mdadm -Q /dev/md0" report?

I've tried both the System -> Update Manager and do-release-upgrade, but neither method upgrades. Is there something I'm missing? Or do I have to reinstall 10.04 from scratch?

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [17:03] So here's the deal... I have 5 2TB drives. I had data on 2 of them, so I created a raid5 array using MDADM with the other 3 [17:03] resno: I think we might be talking at cross purposes. [17:03] I copied the data from the 2 2tb drives to the raid5 array [17:03] Now I would like to add those 2 drives to the array [17:03] guys, is there an installer for ubuntu so i can install it and partition it using the installer without a cd? [17:04] Toaday: it might be helfful if you put everyone on one statement [17:04] donavan01: It's integral to the *min security model that only root can do certain things, and that is protected by a password. If you enable passwordless root, you're letting anything rogue that you may run as your user (for example something you may come across on the web) do *anything* [17:04] tweepcat: you can use a usb thumbdrive [17:04] cfedde_: which is why i dont understand [17:04] ok [17:04] ActionParsnip, yeah, I think I mentioned that I tried the methods mentioned in both links, thank you. I was hoping for some other suggestions, as neither method mentioned results in an upgrade. [17:04] thanks [17:04] mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --raid-devices=4 is the command I used. The out is: mdadm: ARRAY line /dev/md0 has no identity information. [17:04] mdadm: Need to backup 768K of critical section.. [17:04] mdadm: Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md0: Device or resource busy [17:05] Toaday: how did you shut the array down? [17:05] udev is something wrong suddenly in ubuntu 10.04. there are no device files on /dev. have you gone through a bad patch? [17:05] mdadm -S /dev/md0 [17:05] Toaday: Sounds good. so, where is the problem? [17:05] sipior [17:05] zanberdo: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade --proposed works here [17:05] Toaday: and what does -Q report? [17:06] ActionParsnip no it's 32bit this time, because 64bit makes no sense unless 4gb ram [17:06] resno: maybe google has some feature that can be used to index our "intranet" websites without letting them be public. I'm not familiar with those. [17:06] jken418 ok I got you on that but couldnt apt-get or what ever be given rights without making everything passwordless or is it all too intigrated by design [17:06] mdadm: ARRAY line /dev/md0 has no identity information. [17:06] /dev/md0: 3726.03GiB raid5 3 devices, 2 spares. Use mdadm --detail for more detail. [17:06] cfedde_: ah, you are asking about your intranet LOL [17:06] miazgator: it can be beneficial with audio / video encoding decoding, even on <4Gb ram [17:06] ok, cfedde_ now i understand whats going on [17:06] Toaday: and when you use --detail? (you'll want to pastebin that :-) [17:06] you got it [17:07] resno: I agree that I was not clear. [17:07] miazgator: what video card do you have? [17:07] cfedde_: do you have some type of website or files you are sharing? [17:07] ActionParsnip, it appears I had something in my repo settings preventing the upgrade. I've reverted to the default config and the upgrade appears to be available. Thanks for insisting I persist where I was failing. It looks good now. [17:07] ActionParsnip I need help to get gnome+flash on youtube to work fluently, KDE's Konqueror handles it perfectly [17:07] ActionParsnip GF 7800GT [17:07] sipior, pastebin is down atm [17:08] !dpaste | Toaday [17:08] Toaday: there are many pastebin services === tomma is now known as tomma_ [17:08] donavan01: You *must* have either a normal user doing administrative things with sudo, or the root user with its own password. sudo is probably the safest way of doing it, as well as the most convenient. If you are going to do a lot of things that require root, then you can type 'sudo -i' to act like root indefinitely, withing that terminal (press CTRL-D to exit). [17:08] miazgator: ok then i can suggest you grab the 10.1 beta plugin and put the .so file in your browsers plugins folder, remove the current flash packages to prevent conflicts [17:08] how do i change the mouse scroll setting, now it seems down is "just below what i want" and scrolling up is half that [17:08] can anybody temme what is the meaning of this:http://paste.ubuntu.com/435614/ [17:08] ActionParsnip tried that with worse resoults than current stable [17:08] do i have nvidia sound card?

[17:09] ActionParsnip already tried if that's a compiz or metacity thing, same performance [17:10] miazgator: you could try chromium browser, its a whole lot slicker than firefox, mind you vegemite is slicker === cfedde_ is now known as cfedde [17:10] do i have nvidia sound card?

[17:11] ActionParsnip so I'll try it out [17:11] Robert_Zenz, Properly? Does it work at all? [17:11] iflema: yeah. My laptop has the play login sound option on the login screen settings but it is now on 10.04 and used to play the sound even when it was on 9.10 when the desktop never has. [17:11] costre, yes, clicking works, but the pointer always moves into the upper left corner. [17:11] resno: I've added your nick to my ignore list. I'm sorry. I did not want to do that. But somehow we are not able to communicate clearly. [17:11] elric: It looks like you have one sound card. [17:12] jken418:and it is nvidia??? [17:12] Robert_Zenz, Weird, wild .... [17:12] costre, yeah this sucks i cant mount anything now i chmod'ed it 777 and now its f-ed, do you know what command i should use to fix it? [17:12] elric: Intel is what it says.

[17:12] so I have a dual boot setup windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04 I installed 10.04 using WUBI ...

[17:27] hi [17:27] Wii posting my xorg.conf help you guys in [17:27] pici: probably not. so that mean if linux don't offer it then i cant use it?

[17:30] ActionParsnip still fullscreen on youtube is quite choppy while hovering over buttons and interacting [17:30] wifmpziw, okay, then that's the fail. [17:30] aaron__: zip is openable in the default install [17:30] aaron__: You shouldn't. You should be able to right-click on that file in gnome and go to 'extract here' [17:30] *File [17:30] tripps: Clean install? [17:31] wifmpziw, I meant file. ^^ [17:31] Robert_Zenz: thanks :) [17:31] ActionParsnip playback itself is perfect, but it's embarrasing when friends navigate through yt on my comp [17:31] h00k:wat does this mean:http://paste.ubuntu.com/435616/ wat sound card do i have? anyidea? [17:31] pici: thanx [17:31] elric: product: 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio ( nvidia ) [17:31] sebsebseb, I was hoping to avoid that :-/ [17:31] ActionParsnip I mean the flash controls lag [17:31] IdleOne:shud i download drivers for it? from where? [17:31] elric: that card should be working fine. what is the problem? [17:31] I just wanted to let everybody know that I am so happy with mu GNU/Linux installation: Lucid. Thank you everybody [17:31] tobiasz: ok try recovery mode from the boot loader [17:31] tobiasz: weird, not sure what to advise [17:31] tobiasz: there's a sort of safe mode [17:32] Hello. I'm trying to setup pidgin on Ubuntu and am looking for someone using it with gmail's XMPP for video calls successfully (willing to test my connection for a few seconds). Anyone? [17:32] HI!!! does anybody know when i open a page with firefox where is the source of the page saved on my PC? i know i can see the source from the View--> page source on the web broswer, but i also wanna find it on my Hard Drive [17:32] tobiasz: low graphics mode whatever it is, maybe that will work [17:32] oCean_: What user should I be to check that? [17:32] IdleOne:Well,for one thing,it doesnt mute speaker when i insert my headphones [17:32] will try [17:32] tobiasz: plus can do other things in recovery mode as well, such as fixing xorg [17:32] sebsebseb ActionParsnip gonna try, how do I fix xorg [17:32] x2xx2nd: There's a .mozilla directory in your home [17:32] tobiasz: there's an option in recovery mode [17:32] elric: umm that is a known problem but I don't know the fix [17:32] IdleOne:and in sound preferences its just shown as internal audio [17:33] sebsebseb oh ok [17:33] IdleOne:and in sound preferences its just shown as internal audio [17:33] sebsebseb off to check that out [17:33] tobiasz: ok [17:33] elric: same here for the internal audio [17:33] Hello, I did a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04amd 64 and it freezed many times, and now when I boot up it stucks at a thing where it checks for files, consistency or errors in files, something like that, and it won't load, what can I do? [17:33] IdleOne:Oh,i thought i had a Nvida card,and if i inst drivers it shud be better [17:33] I can't connect to secure wireless connections, and dmesg say : "eth1: no IPv6 routers present". anyone has any idea? [17:34] x2xx2nd: To find the exact location you could use something like `grep -r "a phrase from a saved page" ~/.mozilla/` [17:34] IdleOne:I get crakling sound in wine and when i shutdown... [17:34] Kittykernel: ok [17:34] sebsebseb, can I do it from DVD over my existing data? or should I move all my data off and do it on a clean partition? [17:34] vlt : I know ... i opened the cache folder and i saw some pictures of the pages ive been before but still not th code [17:34] Kittykernel: sounds like the partition has gone wrong [17:34] Noone an idea about why my cursor moves to the upper left corner when I touch my touchscreen? [17:34] vlt : ok man ill give it a shot [17:34] sebsebseb: Ohh my, and what can I do to fix it? [17:34] tripps: can you do what? [17:34] elric: check and see in system > Admin > hardware drivers see if it offers any drivers but I don't think it offers sound drivers [17:34] vlt: thnxz [17:34] sebsebseb: Is there a way without another fresh install? [17:34] Plugh: well, the gconftool command in the page is actually an alternative to the gui (gconf editor). The command is executed as user gdm, editing through gui is also possible as gdm - I'm not sure if that is required [17:35] IdleOne:No it doesnt [17:35] ChogyDan: this is what it says. You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project. [17:35] sebsebseb, clean install? [17:35] Kittykernel: that was a guess, well can you describe the error a bit more? What happens exactly when you try to boot up? [17:35] IdleOne:U know how to solve the cracklling prob? [17:35] narothepharoh: that sucks [17:35] sebsebseb, laptop worked great for years before I attempted upgrade. :-| [17:35] Plugh: still, the command should take care of it. Beware: the -set and -type are actually --set and --type (2 dashes, not 1) [17:35] elric: unfortunately I don't. check nvidia site to see if they offer drivers maybe? [17:35] hi all [17:36] ChogyDan: what does that mean [17:36] Both of you tripps and Kittykernel when you re install Ubuntu in the future for whatever reasons, make sure your installing it form a CD that was burnt using a good ISO [17:36] FardadJalili: Go to System -> Preferences -> Network connections. Click the Wireless tab. Left click the wireless connection entry so it is highlighted, then click edit button. On the dialog box that pops up, click the Wireless Security tab and enter the security settings for your network. [17:36] narothepharoh: i believe there are plugins for the app but I am not sure what K3b uses [17:36] sebsebseb: Well I will describe as much as i know as a beginner. I have xfce as normal desktop envirorment installed on ubuntu 10.04 amd 64.

I'm new to ubuntu and I bought server for collocation, I'm going to install ubuntu and I need good & proven manual for RAID 10 (4 hard drives x 1TB). Can anyone link me to good manual for raid? [17:36] oCean_: I tried the set to true didn't help. I've often thought it would be easier if Ubuntu had a sound theme editor like the one in Fedora. [17:37] sebsebseb: When I boot up, it boots and it comes a screen that says it needs to check files for consistency or something like that...and I am provided with the option to press C to cancel it, something like in windows [17:37] sebsebseb: cancel doesn't work and it stucks at that screen everytime. [17:37] narothepharoh: I guess k3b just doesnt know how to convert the files. All audio files have to be converted to wav before burned to cd. You would hope that the burning program can do it automatically. What kind of file is it? [17:37] oCean_, yes, I knew they were double dashes and not single. [17:37] Plugh: :) [17:37] Kittykernel: yeah I have seen that before, also it's meant to do that after say 23 boots, not all the time though [17:37] does a weak battery causes "the power manager defaults for gnome have not been installed correctly" error [17:38] FardadJalili: You were lucky that I had my laptop on to check something.

[17:43] Kittykernel: I don't think this is the issue though, but if you still got your 10.04 ISO it's worth doing a check that it's a good one [17:43] guys ... is the color depth changeable in ubuntu 10.3 ... if yes ... how can i change it?? [17:43] sebsebseb: You mean, put it in and check from the menu were you install it? [17:43] sebsebseb: test cd option?

[17:47] sebsebseb: And other then checking the iso, can I do something else? [17:48] Buenes dias amigos [17:48] sebsebseb: Or just do a fresh install- this is my last option?

[17:48] Kittykernel: if you have an issue after a clean install, and then you do another clean install, you will probably have the same issue, but maybe not, for your issue [17:48] Kittykernel: you could download another ISO, check it, make sure it's good, and do another clean install, but I have a feeling you might just end up wasting a DVD [17:49] Hey guys, I have a problem with kubuntu and locales, can someone help me?

[18:32] handjob: what is your problem, or what are you trying to establish with ~/.gtkrc-2.0? [18:33] Hello, When attempting to run system update I am getting errors with bzrtools, python-dateutil, python-gnomedesktop, etc. Does anyone have any ideas? More info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480588 [18:33] i already try my normal password, but oneday i change it and that's when i start with the problem in the default key ring [18:34] can I use gwibber as a feed reader? [18:34] VCoolio: I switched to wmii and I want to incres size of fonts used in menu by gtk apps. I am wandering will renamin and droping into ~/ some rc's from themes will do (and tweeking font of course). [18:34] I'm trying to get a SOCKS SSH proxy to work and it always returns a blank page. Can't figure it out. Before I get to sniffing packets, does anybody know what this may be? ssh -v -ND 4321 is what i'm using, and firefox is configured to localhost, port 4321 [18:34] nuju: try your old password, the keyring uses the old one, probably [18:34] a3ist: Maybe here> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308706 [18:34] morticide, make sure firefox isn't set to "don't use proxy with 127.0.0.1" [18:34] morticide, on the same prefs page [18:35] Is it possible to create a VPN tunnel from my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop in a remote location to my home network which consists of windows computers? [18:35] LOL! thanks cwillu! [18:35] Vigo: thanks, I'll check that out and see if it works [18:35] handjob: no, either edit the theme rc where they are now, or override the menu font in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 [18:35] VCoolio: Ok, thank You for input! [18:36] BentSpace: Yes. You'll need a VPN server running somewhere. [18:36] a3ist: You are welcome, I hope that is the solution, I am still looking. === solarisGone is now known as SolarisBoy [18:36] BentSpace, that is definitely possible [18:36] jejeje also i try to write the password i use to iniate session on ubuntu but it isn't the password for the keyring [18:36] is there a linuxmint channel? [18:36] !mintsupport | karma_police [18:36] karma_police: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [18:36] RyanP, Can the VPN server be running on one of the windows computers? [18:37] BentSpace: Yes. I've never done it, but OpenVPN server claims to run under windows. [18:37] Vigo: well it's not grub! It's cryptsetup and luks [18:37] BentSpace, you can configure a simple pptp server on a windows computer and use the pptp client on ubuntu afaik, but I haven't tried it [18:37] i want to format a volume by right clicking on the volume and selecting "format", however, there is no "format" option [18:38] Vigo: errr just cryptsetup actually [18:38] anyone know how to tell which disk is which physically but through ubuntu? === christof is now known as christof__ [18:38] i read on internet that i have to delete some hide file and then write another password. I did it, in fact system asks me for another password but nothing happen. [18:38] like in windows I can tell which disk is sata port 2 or sata port 3 [18:38] BentSpace, I didn't catch the start of the conversation, but just as a note,, to use pptp on ubuntu you need to install networkmanager-pptp and then restart [18:38] When i start ubuntu always asks me the WEP password for the wireless network [18:39] hw to set up wlan [18:39] ./ join ubuntulinux [18:39] karma_police: http://sathyasays.com/2007/06/13/formatting-usb-pen-drive-in-linux-using-terminal/ [18:39] prettyhatem, system | admin | disk utility will tell you, there's also many many command line ways :) [18:39] Would I then be able to access all of the computers on the network including a NAS or just the computer which is the VPN server? [18:39] ok it appears my box is locking up when loading X. it's running an intel vga adapter. When I run failsafe and choose "reconfigure X" and choose default and restart, it locks up again. Ideas? (also, why does it have nvidia config app since I'm not running nvidia?) [18:39] nuju: you should be able to view the password somewhere [18:39] hi all. I have a problem with the Gnome Panel. It sometimes decides to stop refreshing: the time is freezed back, mousehover doesn't cause highlighting and so on... what to do? [18:39] It's supposed that the keyring stores all that passwords, no??????? [18:39] in between ubuntu and win 7 [18:40] !enter [18:40] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:40] where i can view it???? [18:40] i've seen that.. is there a way to do it from a drop down menu? [18:40] anyone have any experience encrypting passwords in shell scripts? [18:40] BentSpace: If you get everything configured correctly, yes. [18:40] edowardo: Can you access that with a LiveCD? [18:40] prettyhatem, the contents of /dev/disk/by-path/ will show you very precicely [18:40] I believe so [18:40] Is it better to use PPTP vs VPN in this situation? [18:40] Im readig up on it right now [18:41] cwillu_at_work: thanks for the info [18:41] other have had the same problem [18:41] BentSpace, PPTP is a VPN protocol [18:41] Vigo: http://www.mail-archive.com/universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg42306.html [18:41] why do I keep getting booted from this server? [18:41] handjob: example code for in ~/.gtkrc-2.0: http://pastebin.org/249091 [18:41] I see, what about PPTP vs. OpenVPN? [18:42] it keeps coming up "the follow error was encountered . . . NVIDIA failed to load kernel module . . . etc." I'm not running nvidia! I don't have nvidia! How do I absolutely guarantee I restore X to generic default, or better yet, for my hardware? [18:42] BentSpace: I can't tell you what's better PPTP vs OpenVPN. I've used OpenVPN and know it'll do what you're asking. It can be a little finicky. PPTP might be easier, but I don't know. [18:42] BentSpace, that I'm not as sure about; I don't have experience hosting a vpn on *nix, just using one [18:42] mickster04 you're from canonical or something???????' [18:43] cwillu_at_work: so if the disk I am looking for is like /dev/sde and is the last drive on my raid, then it should be the last drive on the last sata port? I looked under /dev/disk/by-path but I cant make heads or tails from what I am seeing [18:43] nuju: no?? [18:43] prettyhatem, "ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/" in a terminal, and look for the one that points at /dev/sde [18:44] prettyhatem, there's tools which will do that for you, depending on what sort of raid you're using, etc [18:44] prettyhatem, /dev/mapper may also be relevant in some situations [18:44] cwillu_at_work: ahh I see it, looks like it is scsi-5 is my drive [18:44] which I am assuming means it is the last port [18:45] a3ist, the host would be a windows computer or possibly my NAS or one of my routers that has DD-WRT? [18:45] VCoolio: thx again. [18:45] VCoolio: I will check that out. [18:45] BentSpace, I mean I haven't set them up at all, just used them from ubuntu [18:46] where are the boot scripts of ubuntu on the cd? === bambam_ is now known as Guest69384 [18:47] so, could you help me or not???? [18:47] edowardo: Hrmm, interesting. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/558913/comments/0 [18:47] What else i have to tell you???? [18:47] in ubuntu lucid, metacitys window icons are on the left side. is that supposed to be that way? [18:47] !keyring [18:48] nuju: no i can't [18:48] where are the boot scripts of ubuntu on the cd? [18:48] Sonderblade: Yes, you can change that if you want. Either by switching the theme, or by using the following instructions. [18:48] !controls | Sonderblade [18:48] Sonderblade: 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 [18:48] why????? [18:48] hi [18:48] wow, that's retarded [18:48] Vigo: lovely [18:49] I've added a script to /etc/network/if-post-down.d but it doesn't seem to get executed. What could be the problem? Do I need to update initramfs, by any chance? [18:49] edowardo: And here:> http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/list?can=1&q=&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Priority+Milestone+Owner+Summary&cells=tiles [18:50] nuju: cos i have no idawe what hte prolem is nor how to fix it, and you dont mention my nick so i dont know when u talk to me [18:50] BentSpace: I just took a look, and the pptp server server looks a lot easier to setup than OpenVPN. If you've got a working DD-WRT router, I bet you'd be able to have it running in short order. [18:50] !compiz [18:50] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [18:50] Wee [18:50] All the messages written in gray are mine [18:50] if you want to learn more Linux commands visit: http://www.linuxguide.it/command_line/linux_commands_en.html [18:51] nuju: no on my irc client everything is black unless it mentions my nick [18:51] what is the best way to reconfigure X autodetecting my video hardware? [18:51] MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................................... [18:52] I have a (perhaps) short question. Hade ubuntu 9.04 installed and upgraded to 10.4, but now the computer wont boot. Just a black screen.. Don't know how to proceed.. [18:52] In mine, all messages are in different colors. [18:52] tripps: "best way" is something like dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server [18:52] nuju: nope [18:52] Computer is a IBM thinkpad X40 with no cd rom support [18:52] Docteh, should I do that from console or is it ok from within x? [18:53] ooh- - xorg-server is not installed. Hmmm. that's very strange, considering I'm in failsafe X already [18:53] RyanP, only thing is the DD-WRT router isn't directly connected to the internet, it is wirelessly bridged to the first router which a linksys, is that going to be a problem for using it as a pptp server? [18:54] tripps: :-/ probably renamed the package again [18:54] E: couldn't find package xorg-server [18:54] ok so what is xorg-server called under lynx? bueller? [18:54] !webmin [18:54] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [18:55] !ebox [18:55] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [18:55] tripps: xserver-xorg [18:55] 14 [18:55] tis what i wanted [18:55] BentSpace: Oh, yeah in that case, I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, best to install the server somewhere with a wired connection. There do seem to be pptp servers for windows too, which seems to be the direction to go in your case. [18:55] ty ubottu [18:55] :P [18:55] Pici, thanks [18:55] What is the first thing to try if i had 9.04 running without a problem, tried upgrade to 10.4 then the computer wont boot properly? Just need a hint to get me starting.. [18:56] koskov: When you upgraded, did you go through 9.10? === juju2143 is now known as [J] [18:56] Pici: my fault, it wasnt 9.04, but 9.10.. [18:57] koskov: Can you start in recovery mode? [18:57] So from 9.10 to 10.4. It did look like it complete the upgrade, but when it told me to reboot it didnt start again === logankoe1ter is now known as logankoester [18:57] Pici: how do i start recovery mode? === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [18:57] F8 when i start? Hehe [18:58] koskov: It should be an option off of your GRUB menu. Depending on what version of GRUB you are using, you may need to either press escape or shift to gett to the menu. [18:59] where are the boot scripts of ubuntu on the cd? [18:59] ok so reconfiguring xserver didn't work either. laptop locks up solid when trying to load X. in failsafe mode: "your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly" what is up with that? when I first installed ubuntu 3 years ago it detected everything just fine! :-x [18:59] RyanP, Can I use back up software to automatically back up my laptop thru pptp to the NAS at home? [19:00] lalla: boot scripts? like a "preseed" file? [19:00] has anyone had trobles with the gnome panel's refresh in Ubuntu 10.04? [19:00] troubles [19:00] BentSpace: You should be able to, yes. You'll be constrained by the network speed of course. [19:00] escape and shift dont do anything. I start the computer, POST screen, a marker blinking in the upper left corner then it just seem to stop.. [19:01] guys anybody using phenny or who doesn't mind installing it to give me your default config file please. i removed mine's and now even removing purging it and reinstalling it doesn't regenerate. you just have to sudo apt-get install phenny, run phenny, and then go to ~/.phenny/default.py and pasting me its content (pm or pastebin whatever) thanks!

[19:01] Does anyone know what ubprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 means [19:02] oh thats new, my grub background changed to say debian [19:02] tripps: right, but since then, xorg has changed loads [19:02] alguien de mexico [19:02] !es | eriakata [19:02] eriakata: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[19:02] RyanP, a3ist, Thank you, trying to decide between getting an external hard drive or a NAS for backup remotely, but looks like either way it should work. Any reason to spring for the NAS over the EHD? [19:03] Doctech:Actually how r those screens pumped at the time of installatio...can i modify them? [19:03] sebsebseb, so what now? [19:03] BentSpace: One of the things I can see with setting up a VPN, is it appears you already have all of the hardware, you'll don't have to buy anything else. [19:04] hello [19:04] lalla: you can probably modify anything with varying degrees of difficulty, i'm still not sure exactly which screens you're talking about though [19:05] Hi, is there a meta-package that will always install the source code of the currently installed kernel? [19:05] Doctech:the first screen which appears to language option [19:05] Friends, instead of downloading Xubuntu, if I download the Xubuntu package, will there be any reduction in functionality? [19:05] Certainly people will install a LTS on a not-brand-spanking-new laptop, right? [19:05] Doctech:the first screen which appears to choose language option,time zone etc.. [19:06] rocket16: install xubuntu-desktop, its the same as the xubuntu-cd [19:06] and we wonder why people give up on linux. [19:06] well bye [19:06] iceroot: Thanks, but will the speed be the same? [19:06] tripps: you have a support question? [19:06] rocket16: yes [19:07] Igramul, aptitude install linux-source [19:07] iceroot: Thanks, :) [19:07] rocket16: if you want more speed try lubuntu-desktop instead of xubuntu-desktop [19:07] sh1ny, thanks [19:07] iceroot, yes. X locks my laptop up tight. [19:07] Hi, installed winxp on lucid lynx machine and lost grub. any ideas for restoring?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [19:07] iceroot, on hardy and jackalope, everything worked fine. [19:07] so if you have an older machine, use xfce [19:08] RyanP, Well I don't have the NAS yet, I am planning to buy one or an EHD for remote backup? [19:08] Doctech:can i add some scripts for manual installation of packages at runtime? [19:08] thanks [19:08] can anyone tell me why starting gdm automatically and logging in I'm using 713mb of ram, but when i start gdm manually and then log in I'm only using 256mb of ram? [19:08] tripps: and we should guess what is not working? please use a detailed support question [19:08] iceroot, not trying to load lynx, and it doesn't detect screen, graphics, hardware, etc. [19:08] Doctech:can i add some scripts for manual installation of packages at runtime(installation)? [19:08] s/not/now [19:08] hello is there any online tutorial about cli wireless networking with wpa ? a wicd-cli tutorial or something? i cant find it on google [19:08] greetings. can someone explain the difference between linux desktop and server - is it as i assume just a difference in pre-installed software? [19:08] tripps: live-cd or real installation? [19:09] discopatrick: pretty much [19:09] iceroot, real installation [19:09] iceroot: Thanks, I am checking out both. But since I have many packages installed, so I am thinking of installing Xfce and LXDE package only. [19:09] anyone have an opinion on a good program for downloading podcasts from RSS feeds ? one that runs in windows and ubuntu would be awesome if such a beast exists [19:09] correction - *ubuntu* desktop and server... thanks maco [19:09] discopatrick, the biggest difference is that server distro has no desktop guy and it's with custom tailored kernel [19:09] discopatrick: server edition comes without a gui ad with another kernel [19:09] discopatrick: server had a separate kernel but i think in 10.04 they just use teh -generic-pae kernel that the desktop cd installs when you have >=4GB RAM [19:09] iceroot, note failsafe X seems to run just fine [19:09] maco, don't ever use 32bit on a 64bit cpu or with more than 1GB ram [19:09] maco, pae sux big time [19:09] hello [19:10] i need some help with winff [19:10] donavan01: i dont think youll find such a thing. maybe songbird [19:10] sh1ny: i completely disagree [19:10] sh1ny: why ot use 32bit with more then 1gb ram on 64bit cpu? [19:10] sh1ny: maybe you mean 4gb? [19:10] sh1ny: on less than 4GB of RAM, 64bit is incredibly slow and results in lots of swapping because the memory usage is so much horribly higher [19:10] hello guys, question: So im trying to set up a backup box for a company, all is going well accept for the actual hard drive mounting, there are 4 HD's total, with 2 being rotated in and out, i have all 4 UUID's in the fstab but for some reason when i switch out the removable hard drives it wont auto mount them upon startup. I have all the UUID's set in the fstab!! cant figure this out, am i missing something? [19:10] What's the best Ubuntu? [19:10] maco: there is no speed difference [19:10] maco, iceroot - http://www.realworldtech.com/forums/index.cfm?action=detail&id=78966&threadid=78766&roomid=2 [19:11] sh1ny: my system had 2GB and 64bit and was unusable [19:11] sh1ny: with your own words [19:11] iceroot: a 32bit system with 1GB is faster than a 64bit with 2GB, in my experience [19:11] maco, it's not me saying it, it's torvalds [19:11] my 64 bit system has 8gb ram [19:11] 64bit Ubuntu works well on the other computer, with 2GB RAM [19:11] maco: no [19:11] but on all others i use 32 [19:11] resno ... I know atunes will do it and its cross platform ... but i wanted something that would just download them without all the extra junk but oh well [19:11] iceroot: you wanna try my hardware? [19:11] maco, I used 64 bit on a machine with 1 gb of ram, i used like 64 more mb's of ram than a 32 bit installation. [19:11] I don't notice a difference between the 32bit version though [19:11] maco, iceroot just read my link [19:11] kong: you're expecting the externals to get mounted when plugged in? [19:11] maco: no, i know how things are working [19:11] donavan01: what extra junk? [19:11] jerome1232: i was constantly swapping a full 2GB of swap when i had 2GB of RAM with 64bit [19:12] maco: that's interesting to know about 64bit on < 4GB, cos i'm looking for an installation with a very low footprint, so i may download the 32 bit version [19:12] !wicd-cli [19:12] the should only have 4GB RAM to do a 64bit OS thing, is rubbish [19:12] Docteh, yeah, i shutdown the system, take out the 2 backups and replace them with the empty drives, then turn the cpu back on === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [19:12] resno ... media player... ipod junk that sort of thing [19:12] discopatrick, look at the link i pasted, then consider again [19:12] at least 4GB I meant above. [19:13] sh1ny: again, there is no difference [19:13] donavan01: i use a script that downloads podcasts, and then i can play through the samba or upnp. but it wont work in windows. [19:13] jerome1232: my 32bit system with 1GB doesnt often touch swap [19:13] hmmm, sounds like it should work [19:13] iceroot, take this to torvalds then, i'd rather trust what he says [19:13] resno: what's the filetype? [19:13] sh1ny: he cant possibly have tried all hardware or all use cases [19:13] kong: you could always mount them in /etc/rc.local :-/ [19:14] GeekSquid: wrong person? [19:14] sh1ny: please reread the article, its about pae [19:14] iceroot, lspci shows Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02). ideas? [19:14] RyanP, thedude42, a3ist, thank you very much for the help, appreciate it. [19:14] resno ... yeah wasnt sure if someone out there had made something like that for java or whatever ... thanks for the info [19:14] iceroot, and karmic and above come with pae by default on 32bit server installs [19:14] trippss: hm, i know there was a problem in jaunty [19:14] winff gives the error unknown encoder 'libxvid' [19:14] donavan01: its written in bash. havent seen java ones [19:14] my 64bit system right now is using 3667MiB RAM. i have firefox, kontact, quassel, choqok, open office, and some terminals open [19:14] how do I make the ethtool setting permannent ? so far the best suggestion I found is from 2007 saying to use pre-up [19:14] Docteh, im not familiar with that file, what would be the advantages/disadvantages? [19:14] pre-up ethtool -s eth1 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off [19:14] how can i fix this? is it just a missing package? [19:14] sh1ny: we are talking about desktop-editions [19:14] iceroot, same for desktop [19:14] maco: www.linuxatemyram.com [19:14] sh1ny: no [19:14] Weird... something keeps writing "AT+GCAP" to my serial console. [19:15] OK this is confusing if I run mount /etc/sda1 /media/MyOS I get only root can do that? [19:15] sh1ny: and now stop posting untrue stories please [19:15] Crash1hd: uh do you mean /dev/sda1 ??? [19:15] kong: disadvantages is its not as nice of a solution compared to /etc/fstab working properly, advantages are rc.local is a shell script, can do any sort of commands there [19:15] !ureadahead [19:15] GeekSquid: except disk caching doesnt make sense when your cache is going to swap! [19:15] maco: isn't debating/arguing about RAM, off topic? or at least in this kind of context [19:15] GeekSquid, yes yes I do lol :) thanks [19:15] GeekSquid: because then its still on a danged disk [19:15] resno ... yeah I didnt figure such an animal existed ... thanks for the info anyways [19:15] sh1ny: strong words from torvalds there... is that *really* him? [19:16] Docteh, ok ill add the mount in the rc.local and see what happens when i restart... thanks man!!! [19:16] discopatrick: why does your text keep turning italic? [19:16] discopatrick, doesn't sound like him to you ? :P === maciek_ is now known as Guest11926 [19:16] maco: i have no idea, what client are you using? [19:16] discopatrick, try finding what he said about ext4, this here is actually calm :) [19:17] does ekiga support encryption? [19:17] sh1ny: i saw a clip of him on that documentary about free software and he seemed wuite a mild mannered chap! [19:17] discopatrick: quassel [19:17] maco: probably because he keeps *emphasizing* things with *asterisks*, irssi bolds those for me. Your client may do things differently. [19:17] GeekSquid, the problem is though if I run sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/My\ OS/ (which works) but then run ls -al /media its owned by root when all other folders are owned by user 1000 [19:17] any suggestions for a good code editor (gui)? Not vi, vim, nano.. Looking for something with tabs [19:17] discopatrick, he might be, not when he tends to prove people wrong tho [19:17] Pici: except its *not* the asterisk'd text that's italic for me [19:17] cbovard: vim has tabs :) === juan__ is now known as fosscon [19:18] cbovard: maybe try emacs [19:18] Pici: it was from the "e" in *really* all the way to the end of the line [19:18] Crash1hd: sudo chown Crash1hd:Crash1hd /media/MyOS -R [19:18] what partition system would you suggest for a laptop [19:18] maco: weird. [19:18] can someone tell me if gnu talk is like that talk program to chat? [19:18] maco: oh. Well his last message that he sent before you asked had a spurious ^] character in it. [19:18] ext3 or ext4 or ? [19:18] Pici: interesting [19:18] MrKeuner: if karmic or Lucid ext4 .. if before that ext3 [19:18] fosscon: is like what talk program? [19:19] a program called "talk" [19:19] a command line chat [19:19] GeekSquid, it's Lucid... ext4 is mature enough? [19:19] thanks === Guest11926 is now known as nowy123 [19:19] MrKeuner: he said yes on ext4 [19:19] sh1ny: so are you saying it's fine to use a 64bit OS with <4GB RAM? [19:20] discopatrick: yes it is [19:20] GeekSquid, that doesnt change it [19:20] MrKeuner: I haven't expierenced any problems yet, with any of my systems since the move to lucid [19:20] discopatrick, i am using it all the time on more than enough servers [19:20] discopatrick: The other computer has 64bit Ubuntu with 2GB RAM, works fine [19:20] Crash1hd: that should give you ownership of the mount [19:20] 1 GB is not enough RAM for 64bit imho [19:20] discopatrick, and i am pretty sure we will see 32bit fall off the servers scene pretty soon and a few years after that from the desktops too [19:20] discopatrick: also I know someone on IRC, who does or has done another distro with 1GB RAM and 64bit and yep fine for him [19:20] is there a way to access the Applications menu with a keyboard shortcut? [19:20] you would think [19:21] discopatrick: try for yourself I guess [19:21] I ran it nothing happens doesnt even ask for a password [19:21] discopatrick: if you got 1GB RAM, but your proccessor is 64bit, right well try for yourself I guess, if things are slow or whatever put 32bit on [19:21] 1 gig of ram on 64bit is okay, my sisters desktop has that setup [19:21] and I double checked my spelling === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [19:21] ffs [19:21] This is a sysadmin question, so if you can point me to a more appropriate channel I'll be happy to ask my question there: What's the best way to analyze log files? Is there something that can easily graph them, etc.? Particularly I'm looking at nginx access logs. [19:21] theoros: use gnome-do and ull never need the applications menu [19:21] richdel: thanks for that great piece of advice. [19:21] my trackpad has stopped working so i want to get to System [19:21] GeekSquid, I also tried sudo su which puts me as root and did it still nothing [19:22] queso: #ubuntu-server would prob be better place [19:22] so, a keyboard shortcut to get to the menu, would be great [19:22] Crash1hd: and browsing to /media/MyOS from your user does nothing? [19:22] resno: thank you :) didn't know that channel existed [19:22] queso: logcheck [19:22] * zYc is away (Bis bald, bin dann mal weg) === zYc is now known as zYc|off [19:22] thanks for the tips guys. ciao for now [19:22] GeekSquid, when I do ls -al /media/ still shows it is owned by root [19:22] Hello :) When i get system notifications, some of the text seems to be cut off and can't read the whole message. Tried to look in all the settings i could find but can't fix it. Any ideas? Using Kubuntu 10.04 sorry to ask here but #kubuntu are not avaible or uninterested by the question ^^. [19:22] queso: no problem, there ar emany others ones around === beblour is now known as Pau_ [19:22] ciao [19:22] iceroot: thx, I'll check that out [19:22] I started gdm from rc.local "start gdm" instead of via upstart, and I'm using 400mb less of ram [19:23] Where has the CD integrity check gone in the newest ubuntu? [19:23] available* [19:23] where do i file a bug like THAT? [19:23] film [19:23] !bug | Docteh [19:23] GeekSquid, but the Color coding is Green background with Green text on the My OS [19:23] Docteh: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:23] discopatrick: 64 bit has a *slightly* higher memory footprint, I just don't think 64 vs 32 will have a drastic enough impact on ram, you will be gaining speed in other area's particuallry with things such as compression, encoding, encryption. [19:24] Crash1hd: would you pastebin the output of ls -al /media [19:24] GeekSquid, sure [19:24] Docteh, well that worked, but it took me chmoding /bin/mount and /bin/umount to 777, they all mount correctly now! thanks for the advice [19:24] Anyone know how to stop /etc/printcap from being re-created at startup? [19:24] GeekSquid, is there a command to send it to clipboard like >> does to file [19:24] Crash1hd: running lucid? [19:24] resno: what are some others? is there a big, general linux one? [19:25] GeekSquid, yes [19:25] Docteh: A little while ago now when you did, but try not to swear in here :) and yes using those three letters like that counts [19:25] a keyboard shortcut to get to System in the menu, anyone? [19:25] GeekSquid, sadly thats when all hell broke loose with a lot of things [19:25] GeekSquid, not just this [19:25] what's a ttyname? [19:25] Docteh, how did you hear him ? :) [19:25] Crash1hd: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ls -al /media | pastebinit [19:25] queso: maybe, i dont know about it. try #linux. its be to general though, imo. the server channel is slower, but has good info in it [19:26] resno: okay, thx again [19:26] how can I check the integrity of my burned CD with the 10.04 live CD? [19:26] queso: webalizer should be able to work with those logs [19:26] hi [19:26] !hi | o_be_one [19:26] o_be_one: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [19:26] ok got it [19:26] anyone know how to read WMA on AmaroK and/or songbird ? thanks :) [19:26] GeekSquid: thx, I'll look at that too [19:27] iceroot, ideas? [19:27] o_be_one: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:27] richdel, sure ? [19:27] where is the config file for the keyboard layout? [19:27] Hello, When attempting to run system update I am getting errors with bzrtools, python-dateutil, python-gnomedesktop, etc. Does anyone have any ideas? More info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480588 [19:27] o_be_one: wma codecs are included in the win32codecs package as far as i know [19:27] yes richdel its right [19:27] ok i try :) [19:28] after dist-upgrade, when I try to log in at KDM, it fails and dumps be back to KDM. Does it for KDE and Failsafe. [19:28] edowardo: its usually helf in xorg.cong [19:28] crazy6: after an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04? [19:28] edowardo: conf* [19:28] I have a pretty simple question: I just installed lxde ontop of ubuntu 10.04 through the ubuntu software manager. I would like to use my compiz settings but it appears compositing is not enabled. How do you enable it in lxde? [19:28] sebsebseb: yeah [19:29] noxi: not sure, but I have a feeling Compiz isn't really for LXDE [19:29] GeekSquid, got Posting is currently disabled for a few minutes as we are moving...blah blah blah [19:29] noxi: try alt-f2 compiz --replace & disown [19:29] richdel: is there any alternative places? [19:29] richdel: using & disown from alt+f2 run dialog is utterly pointless [19:29] sebsebseb: I'm not even sure what log file to start looking at [19:29] richdel: didnt work [19:30] crazy6: KDM is better than GDM :) however since you have a problem with it, you could try removing KDM, put GDM on, see if that works, then install KDM, and hopefuly it will work [19:30] yeah system->preferences->keyboard for a nice gui ... but i taught u were looking for a conf file :) my bad [19:30] i changed my video card from a geforce with 128mb to a radeon with 256mb... how do i tell ubuntu to stop using the geforce drivers and use the proprietary ati drivers [19:30] sebsebseb: compiz will work fine with lxde [19:30] soreau: ok [19:30] sorry las comment was ment for edowardo [19:30] noxi: Simply run compiz --replace to start compiz [19:30] soreau: actsaully what was I thinking, saying it might not, ah well [19:30] I've been told to ask #ubuntu on Audacious - who can help? [19:30] ripdisk: system->preferences->hardware [19:31] noxi: If it does not work, please run this command in a terminal and pastebin the output to pastebin.org [19:31] Crash1hd: works for me, did notice the announcement on the pastebin page http://pastebin.com/zvZ5F8jB [19:31] What is the minimal that ubuntu needs to install on the harddisk, defualt as it is? [19:31] soreau: the problem isnt running compiz, its enabling the desktop effects [19:31] gnea: i'm there and the ati drivers arent showing up. [19:31] !requirements [19:31] noxi: do wat soreau jus said [19:31] Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [19:31] ManDay: you have to ask the question first [19:31] shane2peru: about 1GB [19:31] shane2peru: or maybe not [19:31] sebsebseb: ah, actually, it appears to be a problem with X starting, due to my mouse... [19:31] noxi: That is the same thing. Please use a pastebin service [19:31] GeekSquid, but I just did it the old fashion way (hope that way works later looks cool) http://www.pastie.org/966138 [19:31] shane2peru: however a default install of Ubuntu takes up about 1GB [19:31] sebsebseb, so, with a default install 2 would be fine? [19:31] richdel: I am lookign for the actual file, actually. Currently my cryptsetup will not let me into my drive on boot until i change it back to US en. i originally changed it from the gui interface that you mentioned [19:31] GeekSquid, I even got it when I went to pastebin.com and tried [19:31] shane2peru: also the desktop version can be installed onto only 4GB of space [19:31] richdel it's ok for ubuntu restricted extras [19:31] shane2peru: since netbooks with hardly any space, can also run it [19:31] whats to do now ? :) [19:31] help!!! i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras in lynx but i still cannot play a lot of formats in totem... tried to play an mp4..it says MPEG-4 AAC decoder and H.264 decoder missing. what do i do? [19:32] GeekSquid: by the way, that webpage agreed with what i said [19:32] noxi: Also, it would be easier to get help in #compiz to alleviate some of the channel traffic here [19:32] All: i think something did just work, one moment [19:32] whitecat: totem sucks [19:32] sebsebseb, right, from there I can start getting rid of stuff, ubuntu i386 normal disk 2GB for / is enough? [19:32] whitecat: search out the codecs you need and what packages they are linked to [19:32] whitecat: also for some of these propritary formats, I think you need medibuntu [19:32] guys anybody using phenny or who doesn't mind installing it to give me your default config file please. i removed mine's and now even removing purging it and reinstalling it doesn't regenerate. you just have to sudo apt-get install phenny, run phenny, and then go to ~/.phenny/default.py and pasting me its content (pm or pastebin whatever) thanks! [19:32] is there a way to get dpkg to automagically generate a new xorg.conf? [19:32] !codecs | whitecat [19:32] whitecat: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:32] I use the GTKui of AUDACIOUS which I prefer over the ugly-as-hell winamp duplicate and comes closest to foobar. UNFORTUNALLY it lacks like half of the functions as it seems - How would I open the equalizer or even just change from shuffled playback to straigh playback?! All the buttons seem to be missing in GTKui and the menu isnt helpful either! [19:32] Gnea, [19:32] man, found the info, and the guy already left [19:32] ^ [19:32] GeekSquid: the spot it says to look in "free -m"? it says 1444mb free out of my 4gb... thats definitely oer 2gb in use for a pretty normal workload [19:33] crazy6: Try Xorg -configure [19:33] GeekSquid, updated it to add the colors http://www.pastie.org/966138 [19:33] hi [19:33] obiwan_: purge won't remove config files that are in your home directory. If you want to re-create those, I suggest moving ~/.phenny/ elsewhere and running phenny for the first time to re-create them. [19:33] sebsebseb, ikonia, i used the auto plugin search in totem cannot find the necessary plugins [19:33] richdel: found it /etc/default/cpmsole-setup [19:33] whitecat: do it manually [19:33] ubottu, will look at the pages [19:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:34] oh Pici thanks! [19:34] edowardo: hahah i was tryin to google nice to know!!! [19:34] ManDay: if the GTKui is lacking, why use it? it's too bad you don't like the xmms/winamp-like default skin that you can change to one of thousands of other themes, but at least it works and it works good [19:34] whitecat: totem sometimes is a bit odd with codecs that have been installed, unlike other players [19:34] obiwan_: That *should* get you sorted out. [19:34] richdel: thanks either way! [19:34] yeah pici it didi [19:34] Crash1hd: the space in My OS ... try sudo mkdir /media/MyOS without the space and mounting it there, spaces have to be escaped which is a PITA === Guest11795 is now known as isp [19:34] ManDay: also, I don't think I've ever seen this "GTKui" thing before [19:35] hi [19:35] sebsebseb, odd? is there anything that can be done? [19:35] Gnea, I vent seen it either but its not in LUCID [19:35] Pici: i just removed the config file in .phenny thinking running it again would bring it back, but looks like i had to move the whole dir [19:35] whitecat: manually get the packages for the correct codecs [19:35] GeekSquid, will give it a try [19:35] is there a way to purge all packages dpkg marks as "rc"? [19:35] And no i dont like the xmms skin. i like foobar [19:35] whitecat: personally I woun't bother, with totem for video or music, instead I would use another player [19:35] ManDay: if it's not in the repositories then we likely don't support it [19:35] Gnea, I want a simple interface - JUST LIKE the GTKui [19:35] Gnea, it is of course in the repos [19:35] ManDay: you said you haven't seen GTKui in LUCID [19:36] iceroot, please let me know the next steps I should take to configure my X settings properly. [19:36] i said i havent seen it before BUT NOW it is in lucid [19:36] thats what i said [19:36] oh ok [19:36] I have asserted »Personal File Sharing Preferences« > Share Files over the Network > Share public files on network. Using Nautilus I can see this network:///Public Files of on on 2 computers in the LAN. Right-click on this entry responds: "The stated location is not mounted. Cannot mount location.

[19:36] it wasn't very clear the first time you said it, so I had to ask [19:36] whitecat: yes [19:36] Gnea, sorry my bad [19:36] it's cool [19:36] bullgard: restart dbus [19:36] i typed "not" instead of "now" [19:37] sebsebseb, i downloaded Arista for converting between various multimedia formats... it cannot find the necessary plugins either. [19:37] whitecat: hrm this might be useful [19:37] !medibuntu | whitecat [19:37] whitecat: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:37] Hello everybody, does anyone know how to disable shutdown/restart/suspend/hibernate from the gnome menu? I am googling for 2 hours right now and no solution works :-( i have ubuntu 9.10 karmic [19:38] ikonia, synaptic lists the codecs as installed [19:38] whitecat: as for converting to an open format, there can be quality disadvantages when doing this. [19:38] whitecat: which codecs [19:38] whitecat: do you have medibuntu repo if don´t read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [19:38] whitecat: it uses gstreamer bad and ugly [19:38] ManDay: so, if it's in lucid... and it's there... and it's working.... (I don't use lucid yet, I'm still on 9.04 and 9.10..) ... then the only problem seems to be that it looks better but is less functional, is that correct? [19:39] i am trying to run 'irw' but i keep getting "connect: No such file or directory" ...but i can see its there in /usr/bin/irw [19:39] dangit, this is going to have the be the second computer I'm going to have to clean reinstall because of a failed 10.04 upgrade [19:39] mcl0vin: ls -la /usr/bin/irw [19:39] sebsebseb, ubottu, ikonia, GeekSquid --> i'll take a look at medibuntu first! will get back to you soon.... thank you.... zvacet --> ok i will [19:40] whitecat: what codec do you need [19:40] ikonia: "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10560 2009-10-17 03:07 /usr/bin/irw" [19:40] mcl0vin: irw cannot connect to lircd, [19:40] crazy6, I never upgrade, I don't care what anybody says :) Clean installation from scratch is the only way to go [19:40] whitecat: you don't need to message ubottu :) it's a bot, a computer program [19:40] mcl0vin: do "/usr/bin/irw" what happens ? [19:40] ikonia, MPEG-4 AAC decoder and H.264 decoder [19:40] sebsebseb, oh! ok :) [19:40] whitecat: ok - so have you looked for the x264 codec ? [19:40] -=^=-> BuDuScRiPt <-=^=- [ http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft ] XChat Plug-in by UDA'Software (V. 3.2.32) [19:40] GeekSquid, http://www.pastie.org/966138 done that [19:41] ikonia: same thing [19:41] mcl0vin: "file /usr/bin/irw" [19:41] ikonia, synaptic says x264 in installed [19:41] mcl0vin: make sure lircd runs and there are /dev/lirc* files [19:41] ikonia, and so is libx264-85 [19:41] whitecat: ok - so then installing additional plugins won't matter [19:41] ikonia: Does Ubuntu even have support for H.264 or medibuntu? I mean it's only recently when Canonical paid the H.264 rights for OEM's [19:41] whitecat: so looking at medibuntu won't matter [19:42] ManDay: from what I can gleam, using GTKui is a feature of audacious2, so it sounds to me like the person or people to talk to about it would be the authors of the theme [19:42] sebsebseb: x264 is open [19:42] '/usr/bin/irw: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, stripped [19:42] ikonia, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras should have worked, right? [19:42] ikonia: oh ok [19:42] what is the keyboard switching icon in the notification area for and how do you get rid of it? [19:42] so, this gives up with some font errors... are these critial? fixable? http://pastebin.com/YnvSQMTq [19:42] iceroot, apparently there is a problem with 10.04 and Intel 82852 hardware: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466969 - when will this be fixed? [19:42] ManDay: which I believe you can find by looking in the /usr/share/audacious/ directory [19:42] Crash1hd: sudo mount /dev/sdxx /media/myos && sudo chown ...... [19:42] whitecat: the fact that you have the correct codec installed is what matter, so it looks like it's your player that can't access it [19:42] ManDay: or /usr/share/doc/audacious/ [19:43] mcl0vin: there is nothing wrong with your "irw" binary [19:43] mcl0vin: I assume you're on a 64bit os [19:43] ikonia, should i uninstall reinstall totem?? [19:43] ikonia: yes [19:43] anyone know if beagle and strigi are linked? basically strigi backend is fast and doesn't bog down my system when it's apps run. Beagle does. I lose all responsiveness when beagle runs. Wondering if I can remove beagle without harming strigi and still having desktop search capability [19:43] whitecat: I don't think so, no [19:43] mcl0vin: how did you install it ? [19:43] ikonia, Arista Transcoder has the same problem with the plugin [19:43] ikonia: I am thinking of the Apple codec, if I remember correctly that's H.264 [19:43] GeekSquid, no change [19:44] still owned by root [19:44] hows ubuntu 10.4? [19:44] mcl0vin: i didn't [19:44] sebsebseb: I thought that was quicktime [19:44] Crash1hd: what kind of partition? [19:44] Gnea, firstly the GTKUI doesnt look better. it looks like sit. thats why i like it. lightweight and simple. second, i talked to the devs of audacious and they got allupset and said i should ask ubuntu about it [19:44] GeekSquid, ntfs [19:44] mcl0vin: who installed it ? [19:44] GeekSquid, its a windows partition [19:44] whitecat: did you add medibuntu repo and from synaptic installed w32 codecs [19:44] ikonia: I mean the one Apple want to use for the
