[00:03] theres also: mp3splt-gtk which is a gui [00:04] SlayerQuad93: Ndiswrapper allows you to use the .inf file from the WIndows driver and get that working, but that won't always work as far as I know [00:05] SlayerQuad93: also using a Windows driver in a Linux distro, should be a last resort really, when native won't work at all [00:05] Valkyrie: try gtkpod [00:05] sebsebseb: ok, whats the best distro i can use with wireless? [00:05] SlayerQuad93: there may not be one [00:05] ActionParsnip: I have it, and the fuse modules. as well as gnupod. [00:05] SlayerQuad93: depends on what wireless you have [00:05] Am I supposed to see something, other than 'Music Library' and 'Podcasts' [00:05] Valkyrie: thats all i know, i think ipod sucks [00:06] sebsebseb: i have dell wireless 1935 on a dell inspiron 1525 [00:06] SlayerQuad93: I suggested something else earlier, go a head get a Live CD for that if you want, but it might not just work on that either. However if that's the case then at least you know your issue isn't distro specific. [00:07] SlayerQuad93: or find out about Ndiswrapper [00:07] SlayerQuad93: and try that [00:07] sebsebseb:ok [00:07] hi [00:07] SlayerQuad93: or try this channel later on or the forums, and someone may be able to help you to get it working natively in Ubuntu [00:07] i started to tweak my ubuntu in order to save energy [00:07] !forums | SlayerQuad93 [00:07] SlayerQuad93: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org.

[00:08] SlayerQuad93: Don't just go back to Windows though, if you can't get it working in Ubuntu, try another distro first and I already recommended one. [00:08] SlayerQuad93: ok no problem, good luck [00:08] lynx454: you'll have to look at which chip uses less juice [00:08] ActionParsnip: yeah lxde is qreally nice [00:09] sebsebseb: mandriva was the one you recommended? [00:09] lynx454: i think so too :) [00:09] so you can' [00:09] FriedrichMan: you still there? [00:09] SlayerQuad93: yes, if you can't get it working in Ubuntu, however if it doesn't just work there, there will be the same or very similar issue to Ubuntu [00:09] Hi, is there some ppa with the latest cdrtools? [00:10] so you can't generally say onboard uses less energy? [00:10] sebsebseb: ok, thanks [00:10] hello ppl [00:10] I basically want something like xmonad, without all the setup hastle [00:11] bobbytek2: umm, bluetile?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:12] dan_: yes, but only for the task you are doing [00:12] lol hypotheticly [00:12] !root | dan_: [00:12] dan_:: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[00:14] salve a tutti [00:16] lo [00:16] hi.. in 10.04, how can i change the root passwd but not the main user? [00:16] hi [00:17] cuz while installing, it uses the same passwd for both [00:17] hey guys I am using imwheel to set up hotkeys for the extra functions on my mouse, but when I lock the screen and come back later, the process always loses its tty. Is there a way to reclaim it? Or hook a script to the event of unlocking the screen where i could kill/restart it? [00:18] IS there like a sun java ppa or something [00:18] g0tcha : main user (Administrator) ??? [00:18] a3ist: don't know, but I can tell you xbindkeys works fine. imwheel lets you have application-specific binds, but if you aren't doing that then xbindkeys should be fine [00:18] mawst: it's in canonical's partner repository [00:18] K-19, yes [00:18] jrib: Thanks, I'll check it out [00:19] where do I go at to see all my connected hardware [00:19] I put tv tuner card in [00:19] Glacer: lshw ? [00:19] or lspci [00:19] Glacer: try lshw or lshw-gtk... you need to run them as root(sudo) [00:19] Thanks jrib [00:20] thanks [00:20] Glacer, jrib, onetinsoldier isn't lspci the right one for PCI devices like an addon card? [00:20] g0tcha : Administrator is the root, sir [00:20] a3ist: lshw will just give you more info, either is fine for what you ask [00:20] a3ist: sure. lshw will work too [00:20] ah gotcha [00:21] a3ist: you can also install hardinfo if you prefer a GUI [00:21] K-19, hmm when you install 10.04, you create the "first user" .. the root password is set the same as the "first user" password [00:21] or.. lshw-gtk [00:21] got what i mean? [00:21] I'm fine without gui, was just asking for the sake of knowing [00:21] I'm installing arch on my laptop right now :) [00:22] g0tcha : You want to change the "first user" Password..that's it? [00:22] a3ist: you can use the -C swich in lshw to get the data you need [00:22] gwibber does not seem to open up in ubuntu 10.04 [00:22] K-19, no, the root password [00:22] has anyone else been facing that problem? [00:22] !root | g0tcha [00:22] g0tcha: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:23] ActionParsnip, it was someone else that was asking; I was just clarifying since I thought lspci would do it fine for him (he was tryin to find his video tuner card I think) [00:23] IdleOne, so cant have a different password for sudo and for the "first user" ? [00:23] hablan español? [00:23] a3ist: try: sudo lshw -C display [00:24] g0tcha: why do you want to? [00:24] !es | benja [00:24] benja: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:24] g0tcha: I am not sure what you mean by first user but if you mean the user you setup when you installed that is the user that has sudo privs [00:24] jrib, why not? [00:24] g0tcha: because there's no reason to. [00:25] * jrib rests his case [00:25] two of the most important stuff in my system does not open, they are gwibber and ubuntu one [00:25] previous versions of ubuntu was like that [00:25] If my icons got all screwed up (the system tray ones like clock, empathy, wifi, etc), is there a way to set their order back to default? [00:25] g0tcha: no, they were never like that... [00:25] the user i setup on install has a passwod and when i sudo it has a different password [00:25] hmm [00:25] !panel | sontek [00:25] !panels | sontek [00:25] sontek: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:25] g0tcha: that's never been default behavior [00:26] g0tcha: I'm asking why you want to do this, because it seems like you want to make things harder for some reason and I don't understand why [00:26] onetinsoldier: perfect [00:26] thanks [00:26] sontek: cheers :-) [00:26] jrib, being cautious.. i dont know.. [00:26] g0tcha: then boot to root recovery console and run: passwd foo assuming foo is your usual username [00:27] sontek: you're welcome. good luck [00:27] g0tcha: cautious of what? [00:28] g0tcha : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:28] jrib, just to have 2 different passwords if one of them is known heheh i dont see whats the problem in that [00:28] or why youre making it sound like im doing something weird [00:28] Woah hey === baddog is now known as Guest71321 [00:28] didn't think this actually worked [00:29] g0tcha: having more then one password that has sudo privs is imho not cautious [00:29] is free TV streaming from movielush.com good place? I seen it come up in top results of search engine and was free [00:29] for streaming [00:29] IdleOne, what makes you say that? just curious [00:29] g0tcha: less people who can make changes to the system the better [00:29] g0tcha: there's no problem really, just no point [00:30] can the latest ati drivers 10.4 be install without messing my installation of lucid? [00:30] g0tcha: as for having a root password. it is not supported and when you break your system ( and you probably will ) we can't help you [00:30] Hey is there a working Gizmo5 client for Ubuntu 10.04 out there? LOL [00:30] jrib: With xbindkeys, where do you find the right identifiers for inputs? I don't see keysym.h or keysymdef.h anywhere [00:30] IdleOne, im not planning to give away access to other ppl.. im just saying if the installed user password got discovered, by any means, it wont be the same password to sudo with [00:30] thats all [00:31] a3ist: xbindkeys -k is the easy way [00:31] hey [00:31] g0tcha: ok, I guess I am not understanding what you want to do. someone else is probably better suited to help you [00:32] g0tcha, that doesn't make much sense, honestly. [00:32] why is ubuntuone not opening in the system? [00:32] i'm trying to install ubuntu desktop on a pretty old machine, and the installation app has frozen at 5% [00:32] g0tcha, it looks like you want one user account, and then this other one that'll do nothing but use sudo. [00:32] how can i terminate the process and start again? [00:32] jrib, doesn't seem to pick up my extra mouse functionality :-/ [00:32] g0tcha: just add the user you want to have sudo access to the admin group [00:32] no === Guest71321 is now known as baddo === baddo is now known as baddog [00:32] ubuntuone's not even showing in the internet menu [00:32] i want when i sudo and asks for the password, it doesnt use the same password of the installed user account [00:33] a3ist: does xev see them? === juju2143 is now known as [J] [00:33] g0tcha: what password does it use? [00:33] can the latest ati drivers 10.4 be install without messing my installation of lucid? [00:34] Does HDMI audio work on Ubuntu? [00:34] datta: theres an indicator applet which plugs into ubuntuone [00:34] ok, VirtualBox problem solved [00:34] ActionParsnip, the first install user password [00:34] I'm using an ION system. [00:34] g0tcha: so the same user has 1 password to login and a different pass for sudo actions? [00:34] it looks like some people may need a bios update [00:34] alexs: it can but ive seen it to be a pain [00:34] aplay -L shows my devices [00:34] ActionParsnip: well there is none for me [00:34] jrib, hard to tell but I don't think so. Not all that familiar with xev [00:34] ActionParsnip, when i first installed ubuntu, i chose the username g0tcha for example and gave it the password test123 [00:34] g0tcha: and are you loggin on as the first created user? [00:34] jrib: nm, got it via xev [00:34] when i want to sudo from that user, the sudo password is test123 [00:34] ActionParsnip: analog works, all my devices show up in alsa :-/ [00:34] ActionParsnip: I have reinstalled ubuntuone and still it's not showing up [00:34] but no sound [00:34] the same password.. and i just want it to be different [00:34] hdmi audio worked fine for me under 9.10 not on lucid [00:34] i also cant see any way to select the output format [00:34] g0tcha: that's not what sudo does. Sudo asks for the password of the user invoking it. So if you create a second user and add him to the admin group, when he sudos, he needs to enter his password [00:34] datta : System-Preference. [00:35] urgh [00:35] datta: use ubuntuone-client-gnome [00:35] HDMI audio on IONs was workin in ALSA .18 :-/ [00:35] a3ist: fwiw, I just use for example "b:4" for my mouse buttons even though xbindkeys -k shows me something more complicated looking [00:35] K-19: I have clicked it for several times and still it does not open === jesus is now known as Guest3433 [00:35] datta: i believe nautilus has some ubuntuone functionality on the right click menu [00:35] jrib: if I get what he is trying to do is have a pass for login and a pass for sudo privs on the same user [00:35] jrib, g0tcha correction: by default sudo asks for a password [00:36] question for all... I am looking for FREE on-line resources that teach linux basics and admin [00:36] michelle__: help.ubuntu.com and: [00:36] !manual | michelle__ [00:36] michelle__: 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/ [00:36] jrib: so "b:4" would correspond to "Button 4" in xev? [00:36] a3ist: I believe so [00:36] michelle__: Ubuntu Pocket Guide is also good [00:37] so no ones know if the ati drivers 10.4 can be install on lucid? [00:37] michelle__: you might also want to ask in #ubuntu-learning [00:37] jrib: I'll give it a shot and let you know how it works [00:37] (✿◠‿◠) ° (◕‿◕✿) [00:37] neon__: try it [00:37] lol i am a 15 year IT veteran of other OS's... i need to learn the system internals, and command line basics of linux, and about system administration [00:37] i don't want to mess my set up [00:38] is not as easy to revert [00:38] !cli | michelle__ [00:38] michelle__: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[00:38] hehehe === TannerF is now known as TannerF-nom [00:38] michelle__, there's a ton of stuff online for that [00:38] michelle__: well in that case really you need to learn more than one distro as well I guess [00:38] michelle__: #ubuntu-learning has what you are looking for I believe [00:38] michelle__: http://www.ditrowatch.com [00:39] datta : Are you using a proxy connection. [00:39] michelle__: typo http://www.distrowatch.com [00:39] Typos_King: 15 year veteran not a 15 year old veteran [00:39] K-19: no proxy, the program does not even open [00:39] . [00:39] hehe, I see [00:40] michelle__: by the way, you may find #ubuntu-women a friendly place [00:40] jrib: one last question...is there a way to bind a key to act as a different key, or can they only launch commands [00:40] I think it is the same problem that causes gwibber not to open [00:40] ne1 able to play blu-ray under ubuntu? [00:40] a3ist: both :). Here's an example of what I mean: "/usr/bin/xvkbd -xsendevent -text "\[Control_L]\[Page_Up]" &" [00:40] a3ist: note xvkbd is not installed by default [00:40] datta : Try Re-installing it.

[00:43] quieting a noisy pc? hehe [00:43] BlAck6j73, in that same vein, probably would learn more with LFS [00:43] neurohack222: depends I guess, you can give a shot here maybe :), just a quick shot [00:43] LFS is too much for a beginner! [00:43] slackware. lol [00:43] michelle__, because Debian doesn't provide as many out-of-the-box features as something like Ubuntu or Fedora [00:43] datta : https://login.ubuntu.com/Q1KSfHB6tVJ3fxd5/+decide [00:44] michelle__: if you want to learn Linux you would learn more using Gentoo or Slackware or ArchLinux or something like that :D however those are not easy to learn. Ubuntu is based on Debian, Debian is one of the first Linux distros goes back to 1993. Oh and Slackware goes back to then as well, and is the oldest distro that is still being updated after all the time. [00:44] michelle_ Ubuntu is heavly customised by canocial for users [00:44] what does installing a binary do, does it create like a second instance of the application? [00:44] !debian | michelle__ [00:44] michelle__: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [00:45] ne1 able to play blu-ray under ubuntu? [00:45] WXZ: what? [00:45] I'm trying to run two instances of the same application Typos_King [00:45] michelle__, ubuntu server is a good place to start because you get an actively supported environment, but you don't run in to all the X environment issues people can sometimes run in to that has more to do with Ubuntu's stuff than the base debian stuff [00:45] neon__: not having a blu-ray dvd myself, can't say [00:45] well, it's pretty loud, running a pc w/ maybe a 650w corsair PSU, a q6600 w/ a zalman heatsink/fan w/ fanmate at lowest setting... a gtx 260 (really don't game anymore so maybe should go low profile?) it's a gaming case w/ a bunch of fans but i don't think they're making too much noise [00:45] someone suggested installing a binary [00:46] WXZ: it may,or may not allow you to, which app? [00:46] install ldap with file slapd.conf when ???? not this online configurations [00:46] honestly i don't want to spend a bunch of money getting allegedly "quiet" stuff and still have it drive me nuts lol [00:46] tomboy [00:46] so: i put xubuntu on an eee 901 via usb stick but cannot get it to connect to a wpa network. internet suggests to use a different driver: [00:46] http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=87997 [00:46] Typos_King: :) [00:46] Typos_King: tomboy [00:47] however, the eee cannot get wireless. is there any way to get the build-essential and linux-headers packages off the usb installation? [00:47] Typos_King: and pidgin if that one works out [00:47] just want some advice, should i buy something like quiet and energy efficient like a mac mini or attempt to put money into quieting this thing up [00:47] WXZ: .... can't say, I'd think since it's a so-called TSR, or memory-resident note-taking app, usually loaded in the tray, it may not allow you to [00:47] Hi =). Is there a specific port that needs to be open on my router for Remote Desktop? [00:47] :O... :( [00:48] WXZ: need to run it twice? what's wrong with once? [00:48] michelle__: Ubuntu isn't really a geeks distro, that's what BlAck6j73 meant. Ubuntu never really was for geeks though, and its becoming even less so now, because they want to target the mainstreame Windows and Mac OS X users. However computer geeks use it as well. [00:48] too many notes, need to seperate them by category [00:48] and not just by putting them in notebooks [00:48] ARandomNub: http://www.howtoforge.com/configure-remote-access-to-your-ubuntu-desktop [00:48] Thank you, Franc. :) [00:48] WXZ: sounds to me you don't have a runtime issue, just a categorizing issue :P [00:48] yes [00:48] Typos_King: still an issue though [00:49] Hey is there a flash player for 64 bit users? === TannerF-nom is now known as TannerF-hw [00:49] if Ubuntu isn't for geeks who is doing all the coding for it? [00:49] IdleOne: I said geeks use it as well :) [00:49] Hi, i just installed ubuntu 10 on my e5400 and i can use my keyboard, but i can not click with my mouse, at once i open a program, i cant click the mouse anymore [00:49] IdleOne: and I meant users, not developers [00:49] Sound on my box appears to be using the HDMI output rather than the analogue jacks - is there a way to change this (its a core2/Gigabyte 9400M board) ? [00:49] question : how do i get out of ssh if the connection got interrupted, the ssh just hang there .... [00:49] Windows isn't for geeks either but takes a lot of them to make it [00:49] IdleOne: altough sure the developers will also use it [00:49] the average user is what makes ubuntu what it is, without them itd just be another unknown distro [00:50] among the 200+ existing 1's [00:50] WXZ: well, yeah, doesn't mean a 2nd runtime will fix though, apps provide the tools to work with, they won't make you organized unless you apply yourself :| [00:50] my point is that the statement that Ubuntu isn't for geeks is wrong [00:50] unknown outside the nix community [00:50] purpley: yes, only on linux :) [00:50] Hi, i just installed ubuntu 10 on my e5400 and i can use my keyboard, but i can not click with my mouse, at once i open a program, i cant click the mouse anymore [00:50] Typos_King: not enough tools, tomboy allows notebooks.. not really what I'm looking for, and they stopped developing it I think [00:51] maco, Im talking about adobe flash player and if so where? [00:51] WXZ: maybe you need... a different note-taking app, who knows, hell, I use knotes and I don't have as many [00:51] purley: find instructions here for 64bit http://www.blogsdna.com/ [00:51] purpley: i think you still need to go to adobe's website and download it [00:51] IdleOne: Gentoo, Slackware, ArchLinux, those kind of distros are the true geeks distros, since they aren't that easy to use. Where as Ubuntu, Mandriva, PC Linux OS, OpenSuse, and so on, are for anyone that wants to use it, including mainstream computer users, who don't know that much about computers. [00:51] yeah, there's one called g-note, I guess I'll have two [00:51] BlAck6j73: please don't do that [00:51] ? [00:51] hey guys, quick SKYPE question: Why does it keep dropping the sound a lot when I'm talking over Skype to someone else? It works fine in Windows [00:51] michelle__: you can definitely learn to use linux on ubuntu. at some point you'll want to try some others because they all do things slightly differently, but not-knowing ubuntu's way is no better than not-knowing fedora's [00:52] anyone here do a fresh install of ubuntu studio 10.04..... I'm having major internet issues with it [00:52] maco: I looked there and only saw 32bit thats why im asking here [00:52] BlAck6j73: link to official documentation, using the bot if you want a quick way (!flash). Not some random blogsearch page with no mention of flash when you visit it please :) [00:52] It's a shame there's no Linux version of Spotify! =( Such a beast program. [00:53] thx for info on registering nickname btw [00:53] ARandomNub: indeed, but a lot of people run it well in Wine [00:53] hey guys, quick SKYPE question: Why does it keep dropping the sound a lot when I'm talking over Skype to someone else? It works fine in Windows [00:53] sebsebseb: Apparently so, I'm just running the guide now.. [00:53] WXZ: what about something like basKet -> http://ubuntu.ly/images/tutorials/2009/basket-note-pads.png [00:53] if it didnt link to it I wouldnt have pasted it :P [00:53] *running through === alema0 is now known as alema0ff [00:53] I know this is not ubuntu-specific, but what is a good dektop ql manager [00:53] cool.. thx... so, from an enterprise server environment standpoint, which distro would u recommend i get familliar with first? [00:53] *sql [00:54] I have a latitude e5400 and i installed ubuntu on it, but my mouse acts weird. Is that maybe because i have no admin rights in BIOS? i just plugged out the bios battery and i could somehow install it [00:54] i dislike php my admin, i want something dsktop ased [00:54] Audio: Card Intel 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller driver Intel ICH at ports 1c00 18c0 [00:54] Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Version 1.0.20 [00:54] **dsktop based [00:54] Hi. I have a .dmg file. How can I burn that to a bootable dvd? Please point me to some "how-to" [00:54] ARandomNub: and apparently it was written to work well with wine too O_O (actually, google released a version of picasa specially made to work with wine and called that a linux port so...) [00:54] where i can find (repository) sun-java4-jdk pakage? [00:54] Typos_King: 'tis possible, but I like customizing things so :p [00:54] where i can find (repository) sun-java5-jdk pakage? [00:54] !partner | PeterDrop [00:54] PeterDrop: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ RELEASE partner" » where RELEASE is lucid/karmic/etc [00:54] The file 'Spotify Installer.exe' is not marked as executable. FML [00:54] WXZ: basKet allows customizing :P~ [00:54] michelle__: enterprise? probably red hat enterprise, which you can learn from using centos (free instead of paying for rhel) === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [00:55] SmartViking, no such animal as permissions to bios... if you need permision to do something in linux it generally tells you [00:55] michelle__: debian is also very popular on servers and ubuntu is getting there (all of wikipedia runs on ubuntu servers) [00:55] PeterDrop: sun java is now in the partner repositories as of Lucid. [00:55] Typos_King: I'll check it out [00:55] txs Pici [00:55] if anyone here knows what to do when nm-system-settings.conf cannot be found? I did a fresh install and have looked everywhere.... [00:55] Can anyone tell me the update wine command, please? =D [00:55] michelle__: ubuntu and debian are very similar, so really if you just know red hat's way of doing things and debian's you're in a good spot [00:55] bbl [00:56] michelle__: and by the way, this might help: http://www.slideshare.net/macoafi/sysadmins-rosetta-stone [00:56] cool.. thx maco [00:56] Valenza, try /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [00:56] I did... says files cannot be found [00:56] Valenza: when do you get that? [00:56] NetworkManager file isn't there either [00:57] I just did a fresh install yesterday of ubuntu studio 10.04.... couldn't connect and spent the last 3 hrs searching online [00:57] Valenza, see what dpkg -l network-manager gets you [00:57] k [00:57] michelle__: ubuntu varies from the others in using Upstart instead of standard SysV init scripts. fedora also does this and i think debian is adopting it soonish, but stable debian and centos releases dont have it yet [00:57] purley: http://www.blogsdna.com/4211/download-install-flash-player-10-alpha-for-linux-64-bit.htm [00:58] michelle__: Novell Suse Enterprise Linux is also pretty popular at the moment, and OpenSuse on the desktop. However Novell aren't liked much at all these days, by quite a lot of people in the Linux community, however thats also quite off topic for this channel. [00:59] gah [00:59] no packages found [00:59] Why can I not open Spotify Installer through wine? :( [00:59] Valenza, so now you need to do 'sudo apt-get install network-manager' [00:59] why would a fresh install not install the packages...? [00:59] I worked for Novell for 10 years [00:59] michelle__: Ubuntu will do as a first distro to learn, then you will want to learn stuff like Debian, CentOS, and Fedora I expect, and then more complex distros such as Gentoo, Slackware, and ArchLinux maybe even. [00:59] Anyone know how to mount multiple folders to FTP? [01:00] michelle__: oh [01:00] lol.. will it work without internet connection? [01:00] michelle__: I meant since the patents deal with Microsoft and Mono. not sure if you know what I mean [01:00] michelle__: that's what you get for asking a general distro question, best is relative, if you just want to get hands on linux dealing, pretty much any distribution will do really, many will point to ubuntu due to simpleness automated setups, or more or less for newbies [01:00] Valenza, you don't need network manager to connect to a network, but if you don't have a network interface that's probably why it didn't get installed [01:00] I need one of 2 things, either 1: To resolve getting a black screen when login to ubuntu, or 2: to burn a dmg file to a bootable dvd. It's a macbook 2.1. Hard disk ruined and need either (preferably) ubuntu working, or a way to burn the dmg file to boot and install os x. Please help [01:01] yea... I have messed with SUSE some... but last I saw they were doing more to turn it into bloatware [01:01] michelle__: enteprise one or OpenSuse or both? [01:01] CT1: if the HD is hosed, how do you plan to install either? :) [01:02] michelle__, I haven't been paying that much attention to the conversation, but if you're really lookin to build from the ground up and aren't averse to the command line, I'm experimenting with arch linux to interesting effect. [01:02] hey guys, I shut down my machine for a week and turned it back on and now I'm getting terrible network performance....I plugged in a 10/100 USB network card and that gets great performance but my gigabit on-board NIC is getting transfer rates of like 15.6 on iperf [01:02] anyone have any suggestions to fix this? [01:02] mostly desktop... open one.... but they seem to be dropping market share fast [01:02] Typos_King: Replaced it with a new one (with os x absent ofc, and destroyed apple optical media) :) [01:02] and ubuntu seems to be gaining it fast [01:03] michelle__: indeed, however [01:03] michelle__: according to history so far, distro's only get like five years or so as number one on the desktop [01:03] michelle__, most enterprise customers go with RedHat, so consider that as well [01:03] michelle__: however I think Ubuntu will have quite a few more years as number one on the desktop [01:03] sorry but a bit confused here... I normally connect via wireless... Had ubuntu 9 and worked fine but decided to do a fresh install this time around. [01:03] ran lshw -C Network [01:04] both lan and wlan come up as disabled [01:04] CT1: not sure on 10.04, but with the 9.1 live-cd, you can make a 'startup usb', with which you can do a live-usb boot, which should allow you to burn the .dmg image to the dvd disc in the dvd burner :) [01:04] Valenza, they show up, but show as disabled? [01:04] can anyone tell me where the ubuntuone add machine button is? [01:04] yep [01:04] Question: Will uTorrent on Wine work BETTER than say.. Transmission Bittorrent Client? [01:05] michelle__: Redhat Enterprise Linux is for businesses and as maco mentioned earlier theres CentOS if your wanting to learn Redhat [01:05] BETTER in what sense? [01:05] Valenza, look through dmesg [01:05] Will it... work? xD [01:05] probably [01:05] I try to stick with what I'm familiar with; [01:05] and I've been using uTorrent for what seems like forever =p [01:05] I have another machine, how do I burn a dmg file from ubuntu? Ideally I'd like ubuntu on the macbook single boot, but no luck so far. at the very least I'd like os x on it. [01:06] ARandomNub: hardly doubt it, I've used it in win32, it's just an IE-UI based app, not really that great [01:06] ARandomNub: uTorrent works well in Wine, but better to use a native Linux torrents program :) [01:06] anything in particular I should be looking for? [01:06] a lot fo info here [01:06] Valenza, disabled there does not mean the device doesnt work, its just not on, ie an ethenet card without a cable will say disabled [01:06] ARandomNub, transmission is really good [01:06] sebsebseb: I see, well that's fine because I can't even use any .exe's through wine, they all fail -_- [01:07] ARandomNub, have a look at winehq [01:07] The file 'utorrent.exe' is not marked as executable. [01:07] =_= [01:07] lol [01:07] CT1: I'd think the burning app in the live-boot will do the .dmg, isn't it just an image? [01:07] Valenza, in dmesg you'll see all thehardware gettinhg detected, so there may be something in there.... what does ifconfig show you? [01:07] ARandomNub: chmod +x [01:08] jrib, I keep getting errors with different permutations of using xvkbd; they all result in "xvkbd: Mode_switch not available as a modifier; xvkbd: although ISO_Level3_Shift is used instead, AltGr may not work correctly" [01:08] musturd, [01:08] pm me [01:08] Typos_King: some "mental" mac format. I've converted it to an img with dmg2img. Can I burn that (bootable)? [01:09] CT1: sure [01:09] onetinsoldier: Can I Pm you a second please? =D [01:09] ARandomNub: ok, sure [01:09] ifconfig lo link encap: local loopback [01:10] a few other things then.... RX packets:184 errors:0 [01:10] I just plugged in a logitech usb headset, sound and mic works, but very quiet. Is there a way to increase the volume? (I installed the pulseaudio tools, but have the sliders maxed) Am I out of luck? [01:10] thedude42: sorry but I'm using a different comp so I can't paste it [01:11] hi, i installed a package via "apt-get" and it ends the process with a segmentation fault (http://paste.ubuntu.com/436491/), is this a normal behavior? [01:11] Typos_King: Does Brasero "see" img files? [01:12] "You must have OpenLDAP client commands installed before running these scripts" <--- anyone setup ldap and run into this message? [01:12] ubuntu 10.04 [01:12] CT1: I think so, I use k3b, but I don't think that should be an issue, worse case scenario, you can always use 'dd' [01:12] samd: maybe that's why they call it the "bad" repository [01:12] CT1: 'dd' uses whatever [01:13] greezmunkey: what you mean bad repo? [01:13] samd: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse [01:14] greezmunkey: oh i see, but it has happened to me with other packages too [01:15] samd: I think I've seen a couple of those, it may just be a .deb script deal, doesn't mean the installation didn't go through well [01:15] samd: what happens with: sudo apt-get update -? [01:15] Typos_King: Far too complex for me. I just wanted a working laptop. and before the hdd went all "free style percussion" on me I had both os x and ubuntu(mainly) working fine. Now nothing : ( [01:15] CT1: so, use Brassero to burn it then :) [01:15] hola! [01:16] !es | bollullera [01:16] bollullera: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[01:16] how can i remove something installed later a source compilation? [01:16] greezmunkey: it appears to go well, although it says something about duplicate sources.list entry, let me check on that [01:16] Typos_King: I'll try it. Thanks for your support. [01:16] ubottu, thanks ^.^ [01:16] Typos_King: alright, should i just ignore it? or file a bug? [01:16] samd: yeah, maybe a bit of routine maintenance is needed... [01:16] !thanks | bollullera [01:16] bollullera: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:18] greezmunkey: ight, its not throwing those duplicate messages anymore, thanks [01:18] samd: not a file bug, bear in mind that, apt-get is just a front-end to fetch the files .deb and then pass it over to dpkg for installation, now, the fetching went well, then dpkg went ahead and installed it, based on the 'script' inside the .deb file as instructed, now, ,the error may just be some minor issue at the end of the script, but the installation seem to have gone fine [01:19] thedude42: Found my wireless detection from dmesg. doesn't look like there are any errors. Does show me show right before displaying the info - /user/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action... which I find strange since I can't find that folder in the filesystem though I have it set to show hidden files [01:19] Typos_King: alright, ill just leave it alone, thanks [01:20] how do i resize a lengend of a chart in oo.o impress [01:20] !netsplit [01:20] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[01:29] calibre: sure [01:29] Cynthia, thanks [01:29] had something pop up saying "you should run this program as 'super-user' [01:29] gnome [01:29] let's see if ubottu has one for tis: [01:29] !superuser [01:29] !su [01:29] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) .

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [01:29] CT1: hehe, it'll work, burning an image is just a simple 'raw writing' [01:30] Valenza: prepend the command with sudo or for graphical applications use gksudo [01:30] Arthur___: http://www.zimbio.com/Ubuntu+Linux/articles/3QDP9PPt1Ai/how+change+login+screen+background+Lucid+lynxy [01:30] i dont want to change the picture i want to use a diffrent login screen.. loke back in the old days!

I'll be sure to read up on dd some day, when I cross the line of being an end-user (that occasionally helps a family friend with their computer) to being a serious technician.

[01:35] hey for some reason my nvidia driver will not enable for graphics [01:35] Valenza: i have files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections [01:35] fluvvell: sources.list would be the most straightforward alternative imo [01:35] it tells me this when i start the nvidia x server settings manager "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." [01:35] Valenza: they store the connections in plain text [01:35] i did nvidia-xconfig and nothing happend [01:36] i installed totem-xine, but i can only run totem gstreamer, i don't find totem-xine anywhere [01:36] where is it?

Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server." i did nvidia-xconfig and restarted x and nothing happend [01:36] I have mine set to show hidden files as well... and there is no folder [01:37] thats why I'm asking. [01:37] fluvvell: there are commands to kickoff the upgrade, or you can use the alternate iso [01:37] Valenza, Only files starting with "." are hidden in linux [01:37] well then there is no folder :( [01:37] ActionParsnip, the alternative iso might be my answer, good point I haven't tried that yet. [01:37] fyi.. this is off of a fresh install too.... [01:37] Valenza: try: cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections [01:37] Does anyone know how to log the status box on xcha, i am using ubuntu.

[02:24] _2: whatever disk you have /etc mounted on [02:24] _2 : not sure if ts is what you mean but all grubs files are in /boot/grub/ [02:24] _2: I think it'll be /boot/grub/grub.cfg. You'll need to know which partition /boot is on. [02:24] <_2> IMTheNachoMan heh right :) [02:24] linuxmonster: well its just for learning sql, so i'll use server edition [02:24] is there a better file manager than the one included in xubuntu by default? something like the one in regular GNOME was nice.

[02:28] RudyValencia, I hope it is ;) [02:28] well it's the file manager, the window manager and the REALLY ugly window buttons that are bothering me right now [02:28] RudyValencia, since screen is a collection of terminals, you would have to be able to change the controlling terminal of the program on the fly [02:28] <_2> Loshki and it will find 6, or stop at the first one... and it will probably be the wrong one. [02:29] Ok the 720p video is playing a bit better but its not smooth theres tiny skips [02:29] and icons, like geez. my cell phone has better icons [02:29] mzawieska: have a look under the "places" menu [02:29] _2: it will list them all. Then you get to choose one :-) [02:29] once i can get those issues sorted, i will be a happy camper [02:29] <_2> :) [02:29] kr3w: roger that. good luck :) [02:29] good luck indeed. i've only used linux for like a month [02:30] RudyValencia, i'm in no way an expert on the matter, but my understanding is that both the program and the shell executing in screen would need to support that capability [02:30] <_2> Loshki i'll give it a wherl. i'll edit the config files first and put uuids in them. === Maletor_ is now known as Maletor === 20QAAZRB5 is now known as arooni [02:30] Ok the 720p video is playing a bit better but its not smooth theres tiny skips [02:30] <_2> then i'll know which it is actually using.

[02:32] wish me luck, of to install ubuntu 10.04 lts server 64 bit [02:32] RudyValencia: there's no way to move an already started session to a new tty that I know of... [02:32] mzawieska: it seems that the drive is not partitioned is this correct? [02:32] do u guys have any ideas how can i fix it [02:32] IMTheNachoMan, there a reason you need 64 bit? [02:33] yess black6j [02:33] no [02:33] but im on an imac 64 bit [02:33] Whenever i try to install Wubi, it always gives me OSError 13 Permission Denied error, even when, i've Unblocked that file, and Run it as administrator, and does always asks for downloading the iso even if it's already downloaded, If i mount the downloaded ISO image, and try to run wubi.exe, it says "Can't unpack wubi.exe - Internal Error" , how to rectify these errors, and complete the wubi setup successfully ? [02:33] i do have another question, is there a gnomeDO type program for xubuntu? [02:33] i can not seee what is in the drive [02:33] IMTheNachoMan, my personal server runs on a quad-core phenom but I still use 32bit os I have no need for a 64bit os [02:33] onetinsoldier: I have narrowed down my problem but well lucid blows, opps i mean it never saves any changes you make in the system :/ it is with the compizconfig-settings-manager [02:33] LUCIDementia: nope, no way to use that disk as it won't be bootable. You might be able to do a cd-less install (see http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, the 'frugal install' option) [02:34] linuxmonster: crap. now i gotta dl 32 bit one..k. thanks [02:34] i'll use 32 bit [02:34] mzawieska: is it a brand new drive? [02:34] dominicdinada: what do you mean it doesn't save you changes? what changes? [02:34] well no you can use 64bit just I dont see the point unless you have like 8 gigs of ram [02:34] Loshki: Thanks. I'll give that a try [02:34] dominicdinada: you mean in the compizconfig-settings-manager none of your changes get saved? [02:35] !wubi|thedude42 [02:35] thedude42, please see my private message [02:35] linuxmonster, downloading a file but this shouldnt happen the whole purpose of a quad core is for multitasking like this [02:35] Although I think its just youtube, A 1080i video on my computer just played [02:35] onetinsoldier: when it is set to no effects is when i lose all my gnome-panel and window controls... under normal is when it resumes the controls etc... but if i set it to normal it does not keep the settings on reboot [02:35] nice i can use gigolo instead of nautilus, does the same thing! [02:35] onetinsoldier: Yes they dont save nor does the UFW enable and hmmm there is more that does not [02:36] dominicdinada: weird. have you looked here? --> System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual Effect tab [02:36] dominicdinada: if you go there.. what's it set to? [02:37] ya know onetinsoldier I wonder if that actually even works. i have to reset my desktop visual effects month or so when i reboot lol [02:37] A video is asking for Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source what can play this? Firefox cant find anything [02:37] try vlc? [02:37] Thanks, people who helped me to get the japanese language pack installed on my computer. they worked Epicly [02:38] well that is strange lol it was set to none but the direct compizsettings applet i had the screen set to normal.. i changed it to normal ( can i remove that other crappy applet then ? ) [02:38] linuxmonster: roger.. is this dominicdinada? [02:38] no we are not the same person onetinsoldier [02:38] dominicdinada: roger [02:38] can somebody say my name just so I can test the highlight? [02:38] D: i cant get this to stop going in hiragana mode, though. but i can deal with it. [02:39] onetinsoldier: it is just a buggy lucid in their rush to push it out the door on time [02:39] snowniak, === avi__ is now known as a94060 [02:39] thx [02:39] snowniak, no. [02:39] : p [02:39] dominicdinada: roger, hehe. i have to go... at least for a bit. i'll be back before long, i hope [02:39] oh crap I hope our ubunto loco meeting is not tonight I just saw the time lol [02:40] onetinsoldier: What is the cpufan package again apparently something i removed killed it :( [02:40] purpley: a video file is asking? or what excactly? Vlc and mplayer can play most things. [02:40] * linuxmonster loves Mplayer [02:40] dominicdinada: fancontrol [02:40] indeed [02:41] onetinsoldier, if only fancontrol worked for videocards when I game boy does my GPU's fan get loud lol [02:41] does it actually allow playing of universal formats linuxmonster [02:42] linuxmonster: totem used to rock now it is a worthless POS [02:42] ive neer had much luck with totem. I normally always install vnc and mplayer first thing. [02:42] I guess that's why I prefer Liquid Cooling over Fans, linuxmonster. :P [02:42] linuxmonster: i hear you. i wish i had fan control for mine :) [02:42] linuxmonster: i do in ms windows [02:42] Dr_Willis: I am not happy with VLC* [02:43] dominicdinada, I play most content in Mplayer without issue. I used to use Xine getting around the DRM on DVD's is always an issue though [02:43] gotta go for a bit. bbl [02:43] dominicdinada: ive rarely had issues with vlc. I use it 99% of the time these days === onetinsoldier is now known as onetinsoldier_aw [02:43] dominicdinada: I use VLC in both Ubuntu and Windows; I have no problems on either o/s =) [02:43] Next box I build I am going to try a XMBC build see how it fairs with content [02:43] Lucid 10.04..grub2 1.98 what file do I use to comment or uncomment kernels from the display screen [02:43] vlc is pretty good imo too === onetinsoldier_aw is now known as onetinsold_away [02:44] XBMC is nice - but overkill for my needs most of the time. [02:44] i forget what player xbmc is using in the background. mplayer proberlly [02:44] Dr_Willis: linuxmonster I dont prefer VLC but totem even following restricted formats howto still does not play anything EVERY time i load a video in it it always wants a plugin [02:44] MythBuntu is also nice if you use a TV tuner card === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [02:44] I run Karmic in English and want to keep it that way in all possible ways, still I need the locale files for different language in order for setlocale () in PHP to work [02:45] How can I install this in Ubuntu? [02:45] dominicdinada: totam has always had that 'trying to be smart but failing' with codecs and stuff.. Ive not had it nag me lately.. but i rarely use it. [02:45] It's the not-affect-rest-of-system part I'm concerned of [02:45] and when i say anything i have avi,mp4,flv,wmv, you name it i must have tried a video in every format its worthless [02:45] help! :) hey guys i just pulled my hardrive out of my macbook pro and put in a blank cosair SSD then ran the live CD to try to install unbuntu... unfortunatly both gparted and the installer do not detect any hard drives.. any ideas? [02:45] I just wrote an awesome shell script that optimizes searching for latin words in an awesome dictionary that recognizes endings of words. Anyone interested? [02:46] Dr_Willis: I beg to differ in Karmic i had to add the codecs and then it played everything with out a problem for me [02:46] musturd: have a cookie buddy [02:46] dominicdinada: even then i would have it ask a few times.. of course I normally had allready installed the other players. so i dont pay much attention to totem any more [02:46] Must go, all. Thanks @ everyone who helped. =) [02:46] hey guys... ok you know this has been happening for the past 3 years...during beta web cams work really well...after release nothing!! [02:46] Have fun! [02:46] what are those plugins something-blah-bad adds a bunch of ones that allow most encrypted dvd's to play [02:46] dominicdinada: heh it's useful for latin students, I want to share with the world [02:46] I'm trying to do a frugal install (boot ubuntu without a disc) but having some troubles. Anyone here familiar with this process? [02:47] linuxmonster: they are accessable in the medibuntu repo's [02:47] Now a days i got a 'first time run script' that installs most all the codec and other packages by hand. So i proberly woulodent see totem even ask these days. since i got the stuff installed allready. [02:47] LUCIDementia: trying to boot what exactly? the iso file? a flash drive? [02:47] Whats the highest definition DVI can play? [02:47] Dr_Willis: See i have so much video audio etc i got from school/alum or what not that i got over a TB of various videos and well never had an issue before :( [02:47] Thats watchable and smooth [02:48] purpley as big as your screen and card support === avi__ is now known as a94060 [02:48] UNetbootin, Universal Netboot Installer . Supposedly can make a bootable installer on the harddrive, but when I try to open the file it asks what application I want to use to open it [02:48] linuxmonster, Then whats the difference between HDMI and DVI besides HDMI carrying audio? [02:48] dominicdinada: one reason i stick with vlc - i never have issues.. i got tons of videos also. some are a bit obscure. I have had totem not like a lot of them. (not tried them all in 10.04's totem however) Then again Theres other features I like in vlc that are not in totem. [02:48] which baffles me since I thought it's supposed to be installing something [02:48] purpley, DVI and HDMI are the exact same just HDMI also can carry audio DVi cant [02:48] LUCID it needs dependicies [02:48] Oh wow [02:49] try apt-get install unetbootin [02:49] LUCIDementia: that makes a specialized 'live cd' type install to the hard drive. it will not be the same as a normal install. You wont be able to save changes. [02:49] purpley, both are digital signal just HDMI also carrys Surround audio aswell is all [02:49] Dr_Willis: sigh i know... and Lucid for me has not correctly ever saved associations of files... [02:49] I might check into going back to karmic.... [02:49] no one can seem to get my wireless to work so I was told to reformat my harddrive. I'm trying to do that but I don't have any more CDs, so I was sent this link. Is that not what it does? [02:50] LUCIDementia: I always make bootable flash drive media to install from. I never burn cd's any more [02:50] unetbootin needs pzip-full [02:50] I hate to say it but only my Laptop runs Lucid at present I rolled all the others back to Karmic as I also run Folding@home and the smp client wont run in Lucid due to library linking [02:50] LUCIDementia: how would formatting your hard drive help your wireless problem if you didnt install or configure the drivers to begin with [02:50] LUCIDementia: reformat your harddrive to get wireless working... don't think so. that's not going to fix the problem. [02:51] can someone explain what ubuntu enterprise cloud is/is used for? [02:51] linuxmonster: how can i roll it back without losing all my settings/data? [02:51] Lucid 10.04..grub2 1.98 what file do I use to comment or uncomment kernels from the display screen [02:51] well this is great heh ;-) [02:51] dominicdinada: I tried everything I could find that sounded close to my problem. When nothing worked and #ubuntu couldn't help they said it could be because I screwed something up along the way. I don't know enough to undo this damage so I'm trying to start over [02:51] hawaiian: what do you already know about clouds? === nmudgal is now known as |nmudgal| [02:52] dominicdinada, I never deleted 9.10 so I just removed Lucid and removed the entrys in grub that pointed to lucid [02:52] basically keeping your data and applications on the web [02:52] if anyone has problems with locales, look at /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local, add / remove [02:52] and run dpkg-reconfigure locales [02:52] happiness and wellness [02:52] allover.

[02:52] if you have a usb thumb drive or external drive u could make a live(usb) provided your bios supports usb boot [02:52] :-) [02:52] it's basically a way for sysadmins to setup a cloud [02:52] Hey vlc doesnt support MMS [02:53] linuxmonster: ahhh i guess i will have to prep this to be wiped :) [02:53] purpley: give a url to a MMS stream and lets see.. I belive ive used it to play mms:// type urls befor [02:53] i'll play around with it in a vm sometime [02:53] Can also checkou Ubuntuone its a personal cloud thats free for 2 gigs of space I belive it's 2gigs === nmudgal is now known as |nmudgal| [02:53] sounds like a fun project :) [02:54] Dr_Willis, mms://a1558.l1856921557.c18569.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1558/18569/v0001/reflector:21557 | Its a NASA stream [02:54] linuxmonster: i have a fileserver with way more than enuff space... [02:54] valbaca, or anyone, what exactly is a cloud? is it like a load balancing cluster? [02:54] I don't have a external drive other than a 320GB external harddrive. So there isn't a way to boot from the harddrive? [02:54] purpley: I know ive waatched Nasa stuff in totem, and mplayer (I think) and vlc. :) im always watching the shuttle launches. [02:54] is it like what openMOSIX was trying to become? [02:54] I watch Baseball in Mozilla lol [02:55] Dr_Willis, I think it might be that im running 64 bit you think thats the problem? [02:55] wikipedia can say more that i ever can :) [02:55] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing [02:55] Also glad someone else loves nasa [02:55] purpley: on 64bit here. === jimmy_ is now known as Posiedon [02:56] Dr_Willis, What are you using to run it?

'connection refused' in the terminal [02:56] I always think of it as a way for companies to stop having in-house server farms and moving everything away from "applications/programs" to things like "google docs" [02:56] I used to have a NASA theme for firefoxbut seem to have lost it when I updated firefox [02:56] Thats what im using [02:57] nom nom dam dumping a GIG off this laptop :O [02:57] my onboard wireless sometimes does not work [02:57] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4908/ [02:58] ^ if you like NASA [02:58] purpley: the nasatv works -> http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html?param=public === coolcat is now known as Guest78443 [02:58] purpley: and i can open it fullscreen in vlc. and its a mms: stream [02:58] and the way i get it working is by plugging in a usb intena then after a few minuts of plugging it in and out , the onboard modem works [02:58] it so wierd can someone help me [02:59] Dr_Willis, I cant pick vlc because i have to search for it, where is it located on the machine?

Now my bt keyboard+mouse, which are paired with a dongle, do not work. They work until the purple splash screen that says "ubuntu" on it. Then they lose connection to the dongle.

[03:05] valbaca, ubuntu just showed me a dialog asking if I want to allow a bt device, I clicked "always grant", and am attempting to resync [03:05] Why does my computer always see a burned Ubuntu CD as "empty" when it is not? It sees data on all other CDs but not my burnt Ubuntu CD. This is very frustrating. [03:05] Luciddementia that usb is going to get formatted during the create process [03:05] that "always grant" is kind of useless when connecting bt devices [03:05] use the bluetooth "setup new device..."

[03:06] you may also want to try apt-get install blueman [03:06] valbaca, the strange thing is that they should not be bt devices, they should "talk" to the dongle [03:06] oh usb dongle...hm [03:07] what model? [03:07] acerimmer: is there a way to use the USB to reformat my computer without having to delete everything else? I'm just borrowing it from someone [03:07] ??

If anyone responded please send it again) [03:09] LUCIDementia: No messages to you while you were parted [03:09] Anyone here tried Lucid + Banshee + iPod Nano? [03:10] from the bug report: [03:10] I had to pair mouse and keyboard by hand, giving the PIN on keyboard to work. After restart only mouse is working, keyboard is seem to be connected, but not working. I tried couple of times. In Karmic Koala and earlier the dongle bluetooth was connecting after I push the button on dongle and device (now its not working that way). [03:11] valbaca, both seem to be working now, will reboot and see what happens [03:11] When using Banshee to manage an iPod Nano 4th Gen, the cover art shows fine on Banshee, but in the iPod, all the cover art is missing from every single album. [03:11] Is there a workaround for this? [03:11] I swear to god, nothing good has ever happened to me for upgrading ubuntu [03:11] okay, apparently this question was deceptively difficult. Can someone tell me about "frugal installs" instead? [03:11] PlasmaSheep: good luck [03:12] sorry my internet died [03:12] see waht i mean [03:12] how can i fix this perminantly?

[03:14] LUCIDementia: A net install is where you download a small CD image, install a very basic system from that and then install only the packages you need in addition. So you have total custimisation and no bloat. [03:14] if you just want to access websites pretending that you are a different machine [03:14] LUCIDementia: Yeah, ubottu is the helper bot here.

Would a frugal install do that for me? [03:15] its....evil [03:15] Probably not. [03:15] LUCIDementia: what are you running?

[03:16] lucid: when you use wireless on your ubuntu machine, and it cuts out... does it cut out for others as well? or only you? [03:16] yea I've tried every help document and forum post that seemed remotely related. The only suggestions I ended up with is that maybe somewhere along the way I changed something that I shouldn't have, hence the reformat [03:17] jken418: he has a tricky wrapper situation if I remember right. [03:17] OIC [03:17] and I don't know exactly. If you can tell me how to check I'll let you know [03:17] LUCIDementia, but did it work earlier? [03:17] LUCIDementia: does it cut out for everyone or just you? [03:17] LUCIDementia, pastebin the output of this: sudo lspci -v [03:18] no, I just installed Ubuntu about a week ago and the wireless has never worked. Although once I installed the b43 driver I can see the networks, but still can't connect [03:18] hi [03:19] here's the results of sudo lspci -v http://paste.ubuntu.com/436530/ [03:19] I tried to create an new account. Then I try to switch user. I logged in to the newly created account but then I get error messages about some ICE.authority file and something about missing directories in home. Why isn't it working as expected? [03:19] greezmunkey: did you get your graphics sorted? [03:19] in that case lucid its probably a driver problem as opposed to a router problem. What kind of ... oh you did lspci cool [03:20] LUCIDementia, so right now, you are able to see wireless networks? [03:20] yes [03:21] How do I get Linux to mount a UFS2 disk that was formerly in a FreeBSD system? [03:21] BlAck6j73: I got as much out of it as I'll be able to, but at least I can see video clips now. Thanks for asking :) [03:21] LUCIDementia, what exactly happens when you try to connect to your wireless router? [03:22] it spins for about 30 seconds then says "Wireless Network Disconnected" or something generic like that [03:23] worth noting: it shows full bars and worked just fine when I was using Windows [03:24] LUCIDementia: in a terminal, you can type "tail -f /var/log/syslog" (sans quotes) to see the process in a bit more detail. [03:25] LUCID [03:25] your driver is likely working fine [03:25] you have misconfigured something within your settings [03:25] such as the wireless password, etc etc [03:26] what does "backend" do, i just installed the 64 bit flash (32 wasnt working right) and forgot to uninstall the 32 bit, maxed out one of my processors and didnt show in system monitor, had to kill via pid in top [03:26] this can be confirmed by going to a public wifi and seeing if you can connect [03:26] there is no wireless password on the network, but if there's something going on behind the scenes hopefully you can spot it here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/436535/ [03:26] starnostar: http://tinyurl.com/27u67so [03:27] LUCIDementia: remove the space in your SSID !!! [03:27] I don't know what that means [03:27] i did search for it, there are appearently many different backend's, and none of these posts relate to my problem, spent 30 minutes on google [03:27] LUCIDementia: make Oak Timber == OakTimbar [03:28] misspelled it, but you get the idea [03:28] LUCIDementia, change your "Wireless Network Name" in the wireless router so that it doesn't contain spaces. [03:28] and i wouldnt ask about it here if i could find it on google [03:28] anybody having problems booting a kubuntu 10.04 install cd? [03:28] ok well then the best way [03:28] would be to do a "man backend" [03:28] Macer: what probs u have? [03:28] !anyone|macer [03:28] macer: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:28] hi [03:28] the SSID listed is "linksys" That's just the name of the connection along with Auto hpsetup and Auto default [03:28] but I'll try it [03:29] thanks, didnt show up in synaptic, figured it was some deep rooted system process [03:29] LUCIDementia: is your network secure? [03:29] lol no problem man [03:29] it's not password protected if that's what you mean [03:29] ubottu: uhm. the "problem booting the kubuntu install cd" wasn't good enough? [03:29] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:29] :) [03:29] LUCIDementia: you should use some protection [03:29] LUCIDementia: not WEP, but WPA2 or whatever it is [03:29] are there any cli firewall configuration programs? [03:29] acerimmer: boots ... picks language.. then error .. can't find boot cd [03:30] when choosing "install kubuntu" [03:30] anyone want to help me figure out how to get my sound to work coming in from my tv card? [03:30] Macer: did u run a checksumm on the download? [03:30] tisnt muted. [03:30] the possibility of a bad download is like... 1923123120329132138784324923798132:1 :) [03:30] seems to be a major problem with a bunch of people. [03:30] I'm sure protection is normally a good thing but I don't own this modem or router. I just live here for the summer [03:30] Macer: ok - but DID you check the iso via checksum and check the burned CD? [03:31] acerimmer: no. but i'll try that [03:31] Macer: what probably happened here is you burned the CD too fast [03:31] when you burn the CD at max speed [03:31] there tends to be a few minor errors on the CD [03:31] NightDragon: thought about that.. burned it at 4x just in case [03:31] My ysb wont mount! [03:31] never burn a cd at max speed [03:31] maybe it is some oddball cdrw bug [03:31] hi i'm trying build my own version of tk but i need the X11 header files in lucid. anyone know which package contains those? [03:31] so.....any more ideas? It seems like things should be working, so why aren't they? [03:31] usb* [03:31] i made a CD of lucid, and when I boot from it, I get the boot menu and if I press enter on 'try ubuntu without installing' nothing happens [03:31] same with install [03:31] macer the easy way is to verify the disk [03:31] How do I get Linux to mount a UFS2 disk that was formerly in a FreeBSD system? [03:31] i burned it on an opensolaris box using cdrw [03:32] happy bday to me :0) [03:32] hacim: heh. well. sounds similar to mmy problem [03:32] hacim: with desktop iso or alternate? [03:32] rshakin: happy birthday (: [03:32] happy birthday [03:32] the CDRW drive flashes, but nothing [03:32] i burned with wodim [03:32] How do i mount my usb? [03:32] rshakin: happy birthday (: [03:32] I'm getting a "failed to configure package manager" when I'm trying to setup a jeos VM... not sure whats going wrong... [03:32] !checksum|hacim [03:32] hacim: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:32] SmartViking: What file system? [03:32] rshakin: I did a tiny bit of Ubuntu support in here on my last birthday, and I kept it secret from everyone as well, that it was my birthday :D [03:32] can i download kubuntu 9.04 from somewhere? [03:33] RudyValencia: Prettu sure its ext4 [03:33] LUCIDementia, so the name of your network is linksys? [03:33] Macer: yes [03:33] heh [03:33] LUCIDementia: Have you talked with the owner of the router? It could be it's set up to only allow connections based on hwaddr [03:33] hacim: if u haven't done so, plz check the downloaded iso with checksum. also check the burned cd. [03:33] when I go to properties that's the listed SSID [03:33] Macer: releases.kubuntu.org/9.04 or something like that I guess [03:33] which package contains the X11 header files? [03:33] Macer: I guess you can ask #kubuntu for the proper answer [03:33] as far as they know computers run on magic [03:33] guys how can i connect to wifi on ubuntu server [03:33] Macer: oh by the way 9.04 runs out of support at the end of October no more security updates [03:33] sebsebseb: oh. thought they merged here [03:33] i <3 the space slidshow backround [03:33] Macer: what's the question? [03:33] LUCIDementia: Here's a tip, edit your wireless profile. If the SSID - natwork name - is Oak Timber, change it to "Oak Timber" and try again. [03:33] sebsebseb: yeah but i can install 9.04 and dist-update [03:34] or 9.10 ;) [03:34] something [03:34] as long as it can install [03:34] Macer: probably best to clean install when 10.10 comes out [03:34] Macer: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/jaunty/ [03:34] Macer: 9.04 untill the end of October is fine [03:34] Macer: and it really is better than 9.10 and 10.04 in certain ways [03:34] RudyValencia: It was some files that i wanted to delete on it, but i could not mount them because it was busy with "ls" so i killed the "ls" process, after then i could not mount [03:34] hm not sure [03:35] Macer: this channel is also for Kubuntu suport, but they also have #kubuntu [03:35] umount it first? [03:35] How can I enable CUPS [03:35] LUCIDementia, properties of what? [03:35] LUCIDementia: Have you tried connecting to it with a wired connection, just to see if that works correctly? [03:35] the dropdown box shows the name "linksys". I can create a....well, whatever it's called when you make a name like "My Internet Connection" but I've tried changing that a lot [03:35] i want to know which is the best instant messenger? [03:35] Macer: I run kubuntu on one machine.. what's the question? [03:35] for some reason I can't install printers [03:35] LUCIDementia, pastebin this: iwlist scan [03:36] how do i mount my usb? [03:36] Izinucs: the x86 install cd image i downloaded from wisc.edu seems to not boot when choosing "install kubuntu" [03:36] I'm looking for a way to simulate X11 keyboard input on a computer I can ssh into, assuming I can ssh into the same account that's logged into X on screen. I essentailly want to use my laptop as a keyboard for my htpc [03:36] it says "can not find boot cd" when trying with some error msg [03:36] Macer: but you get to the main live desktop screen? [03:36] no.. i was trying to install straight on boot [03:36] M25: how about synergy2 ? [03:36] i do get the lang selection [03:37] and the menu asking to boot the live stuff or install [03:37] Macer: is this a desktop or laptop? home built or store purchase? [03:37] greezmunkey: got a second? [03:37] linxeh: the particular device that's dialing in doesn't have X, I think synergy requires it [03:37] <|droid|> #!/bin/bash What is that [03:37] Interface doesn't support scanning [03:37] older compaq [03:37] desktop [03:37] it's actually not mine. i'm installing it for someone [03:37] M25: what does it have? just terminal linux ? [03:37] he||phyre: sure, what's up? [03:37] Hi, does anyone know how Ubuntu Lucid accesses iPod touch filesystem because I need to access it from command-line [03:37] Macer: is it home built? [03:37] ferfactor : Try Pidgin.. [03:38] M25: I think you can tunnel X over ssh [03:38] linxeh: yeah, its a zipit z2, feel free to google [03:38] Izinucs: not unless you know of many home built compaqs [03:38] greezmunkey: hey whats up... im having powersaving issues on this laptop. the screen dims on suspend or inactivity but when it wakes up it doesnt brighten up again [03:38] Macer: ah.. compaq [03:38] LUCIDementia, just that one line? [03:38] greezmunkey: any idea? [03:38] BlAck6j73: thats not what he's trying to do [03:38] How can I connect to my local CUPS server [03:38] BlAck6j73: yeah, that's for doing it the other way around, having x display and control on the remote device [03:38] it's like an older p4 compaq [03:38] <|droid|> What does this do? #!/bin/bash [03:38] Macer: u could maybe try alternate install and/or verify the right 32/64 bit iso [03:38] M25: ah ok [03:39] K-19 i know pidgin, but i want to know another msn program [03:39] he||phyre: yikes, no. Sorry. I've seen a bit of there here from time to time though, post the Q to the group, we'll see what shakes out. [03:39] acerimmer: did already [03:39] it's x86 [03:39] i will try another cd and see what i get. thanks [03:39] BlAck6j73: I do that on a regular basis though, it's pretty sweet, beats the living bejeezus out of vnc [03:39] hello, my FN + brightness up and down are not working, I have modified the files /etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh and /etc/acpi/video_brightnessdown.sh, when I execute them like #sh video_brigtnessdown.sh they work, but when I press FN+F7 or FN+F8 they don't work, so I suspect that the key combination its not being recognized by the system, how can I check or assign that? [03:39] three. One for "lo", one for "eth0" and "wlan0" says No scan results [03:39] how do you install 10.10 packages? I noticed some bugs for 10.10 are already on launchpad [03:39] peoples... im having powersaving issues on this laptop. the screen dims on suspend or inactivity but when it wakes up it doesnt brighten up again. any help would be swell. [03:40] ferfactor : Then try looking in Ubuntu Software Centre...(Many are waiting) [03:40] running lucid' [03:40] Macer: missed that before.. outside chance this might work.. it really depends on the motherboard that's being used by compaq.. on boot you should have the ability to hit F6 and modify the kernel boot line.. just before "quiet splash" add pci=nomsi and then maybe acpi might be an issue.. so also add noacpi (I think) someone will have to correct that last one. [03:40] K-19 ok im searching another msn client, thank for your atention!!! [03:40] linxeh: yeah, synergy requires X to run [03:40] M25: is there a lot more overhead? [03:40] he||phyre you could disable screen dimming as a workaround [03:41] flan_suse: is that normal? [03:41] BlAck6j73: than vnc? significantly less overhead, you don't send raw pictures most of the time, it's just X11 commands, which are much lighter [03:41] roygbiv: though about it but as a last resort only [03:41] well i have another problem, i want to change my screen resolution, to 1024-768 but when i change it, the image on the screen go out and i don't see anything [03:41] LUCIDementia, no scan results? But the Network Manager DOES show results? [03:41] in other words i can change the screen resolution [03:41] M25: right [03:41] BlAck6j73: if you use a non-pixmap based theme, and no icons, you don't really send images at all [03:41] Is there an app which hides my email client but shows me a notification when a receive a new email? [03:42] M25: there might be something that injects into uinput or something [03:42] LUCIDementia: did you run "iwlist wlan0 scanning" yet? [03:42] hello, my FN+F7 and FN+F8 brightness keys are not working, I have modified the files /etc/acpi/video_brightnessup.sh and /etc/acpi/video_brightnessdown.sh, when I execute them like #sh video_brigtnessdown.sh they work, but when I press FN+F7 or FN+F8 they don't work, so I suspect that the key combination its not being recognized by the system, how can I check or assign that? [03:42] I think so but I'll try it again [03:42] linxeh: that's a good idea === |droid| is now known as calibre [03:42] What does this do? #!/bin/bash [03:42] Hi. A a basic linux question. What am I doing wrong? : http://pastebin.com/LwP2RBsf [03:42] wlan0 No scan results [03:42] Which is better for a server's hostname: only the servername or a FQDN like servername.localdomain.local ? [03:42] gonzaloaf: there's a keyboard shortcuts application as well as a keyboard preferences application in your system preferences menu [03:42] RudyValencia: call it bilbo [03:42] LUCIDementia, but what about the tray icon? [03:43] "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com ..." error whenever i try to install anything [03:43] Izinucs: lol. RudyValencia either works well, depending on the needs of your organisation if applicable [03:43] Hawaiian_Eskimo: check your firewall settings? [03:44] probably should use the FQDN, like I've done before. [03:44] RudyValencia a fully qualified domain is really only important when you are putting a server on the internet, or in a private network with multiple domains. if everything you have is in the same domain then it doesn't matter [03:44] thought ubuntu didn't come with firewall by default [03:44] por que ubuntu-es no funciona? [03:44] Harun: just use the numbers when you do chmod [03:44] harun : Use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com looks like nothing is in there... [03:44] M25, how can that app can help me? [03:45] K-19: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/D7ZnwxKD [03:45] NightDragon: trying now [03:45] gonzaloaf: your keyboard may not be sending the events that ubuntu expects (keyboard preferences app, try different keyboard models) or the keyboard shortcuts may be changed to something else, or unset (keyboard shortcuts) [03:46] hola che === avi__ is now known as a94060 [03:46] que tal? [03:46] Hawaiian_Eskimo: firewall isn't enabled by default, but is prsent [03:46] !es|confucio [03:46] confucio: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [03:46] the tray icon will display wireless networks. I just can't connect to them [03:46] M25: not what you want, but similar - http://www.tenjin.org/RemotePad/ [03:46] it's a fresh install, and i never enabled it. so firewall can't be the problem [03:46] harun : THE SITE IS IN READ-ONLY MODE AS WE ARE CURRENTLY MOVING HOSTER, SOME PASTES MIGHT BE MISSING FOR A FEW HOURS!

[03:49] gonzaloaf: that's the generic one, see if any of the models under hewlett-packard brand work [03:49] maddhat, fanspeed [03:50] virutualbox is much slower than vmware, right? [03:50] zheng: yes [03:50] zheng: sorry.. slower? no [03:50] harun... then what you want is 770 for your CHMOD mask [03:50] Yes. Broadcom B43 wireless driver is enabled.

[03:56] acerimmer: which is that? [03:57] LUCIDementia, try this. [03:57] LUCIDementia, sorry, busy with other things. [03:57] LUCIDementia, remove the B43 and enable the STA driver instead. [03:57] LUCIDementia, then reboot and see if it helps. [03:57] CoolAcid: wait 1 i have a directory somewhere [03:57] ok this is kinda silly, I downloaded some wallpaper but cant find it, but its being used as my wallpaper... any way to locate it? [03:57] if i had a mac and i install ubuntu 10.04 in paralell, why my batery life is consumed faster [03:58] well...I guess it's worth a shot, but that's something that I have definitely tried before. Which is why it's there [03:58] I don't know any commands, but I was hoping there is one that would tell us why it isn't letting me connect [03:58] acerimmer: basicly, I have a DVB card thats partly supported - I originally emailed the driver dev but got no where quick.. so trying to figure out the best way to get the support in the kernel - ironicly, its just a PCI device tag in a driver ;) [03:58] once im done reading an entry in the manual, how do i close it (ubuntu server)?

It did at first but now it doesn't at all [04:00] LUCIDementia, on my laptop, the Broadcom STA driver works with wireless perfectly. === maco2 is now known as maco [04:00] another question about ubuntu server: how do i get my wifi up and running? [04:00] Ok i will try that right now [04:00] do you use ndiswrapper? [04:00] Please standby. [04:00] Aazoris: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:00] LUCIDementia: +1 with flan. downloaded broadcom package and installed. o issues. [04:00] kaell : Empty pastebin!!! try http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [04:01] how can i change screen? the screen resolution of my [04:01] maddhat in Lucid? [04:01] how can i change the screen resolution of my laptop [04:01] LUCIDementia, nope, didn't use ndiswrapper. [04:01] I've tried that [04:01] linuxmonster: correct [04:01] I just updated to ubuntu 10.04 from ubuntu 9.10 and now my sound doesn't work. It did at first but now it doesn't at all [04:01] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/C6xvRVd2 [04:01] I feel like I've tried everything mentioned, but is it possible that having more than one of these options installed is interfering with one another? [04:01] kaell: do the same thing to the numeric address, the time may have more to do with a slow dns lookup than anything else. [04:01] ferfactor: for your desktop? [04:01] more importantly, is there a way to check which one is? [04:01] I am going to try acerimmer way real quick, please standby [04:01] Aazoris: if that doesn't work then aptitude won't either.. same basic thing.. you sure you're connected to the net with the server? [04:01] maddhat only thing I found is apt-get install fancontrol but that assumes your lmsensors work properly I belive [04:02] muskask8: did you try something as simple as clicking on the icon and making sure the correct hardware is being used? [04:02] Aazoris: reoger [04:02] yes [04:02] ferfactor : System..Preference..Monitor [04:02] I am sure [04:02] yes I did, and nothing it muted [04:02] thinkfan is a daemon only it says [04:02] linuxmonster: right - fancontrol relies on lm-sensors. lm-sensors wont work for the IBM x345 [04:02] muskask8: do you have more than one soundcard? [04:02] LUCIDementia, what do you mean? [04:02] no I do not [04:02] greezmunkey, hmm, yes it went fast with an IP directly... but nslookup goes fast in resolving the name to the IP [04:02] hi, I have install xubuntu 10.04 yesterday. some problems appeared after update, something with video driver, after reboot my PC loaded in low mode, I have reinstall videodriver (nvidia) system is ok now, but boot screen still loaded in low mod, what I have 2 do? [04:03] muskask8: have you tried just turning the volume up and down? [04:03] like if I installed ndiswrapper incorrectly and it's blocking my access to my wireless card [04:03] muskask8: i know these sound simple, but I had these things help [04:03] not sure if that's at all possible, but thoughts like that is why I wanted to reformat [04:03] yes and nothing happens, I don't even get sound when I turn the computer on and log in [04:03] LUCIDementia, you already tried ndiswrapper? [04:03] maddhat, only othe roption I see is sudo apt-get install thinkfan but as I mentioned it shows only as a daemon for the fans === islington_ is now known as islington [04:04] well the step after installing ndiswrapper was to find what windows driver I needed, download and install it [04:04] 10ms for nslookup of google.com... 30ms for ping of google.com's IP address... but 15 seconds to ping google.com... this makes no sense to me [04:04] 10+30 = 15000 [04:04] muskask8, I suggest you load an alsa mixer like gamix and check all levels and muter. The gnome-volume-control with pulseaudio backend tend to ignore some devices [04:04] !sound | muskask8 [04:04] muskask8: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:04] all 3 of those steps baffled me, but ubuntu forums walked me through it I think...I just can't be sure that I did it right [04:04] kaell: look at using the strace command to see everything that ping does... [04:04] linuxmonster: thinkfan relies on acpi functions. ive checked for all acpi functions. that is for ibm thinkpads, not servers [04:04] BlAck6j73, yes for my desktop, actually i had desktop resolution 800x600 and i want to change it to 1024x706 but when i change it the screen get balck and i can see anything [04:05] I already have alsa mixer installed and nothing is muted in there [04:05] anybody know how to fix a bootscreen ? [04:05] kaell: strace ping google.com - the results are impressive. [04:05] i see that [04:05] ferfactor: 1024x706? [04:05] not particularly helpful for me here, but interesting ;) [04:06] kaell: can we call that one answered? [04:06] BlAck6j73, yes!!! [04:06] BlAck6j73, 1024x768 [04:06] ferfactor: not 1024x768? [04:06] #drupal-support [04:06] well... i'm sure this is abnormal operation, there is something causing this abnormal operation, and i have not yet identified what that is or fixed it [04:06] BlAck6j73, yes that distribution [04:06] i understand ping does a lot... but it has never taken 15 seconds per ping on any other ubuntu box i've used [04:07] kaell: go through the strace - maybe you'll see what's going on. [04:07] BlAck6j73, but when i change it, i cant see anything [04:07] the screen get black totally [04:07] when I enable STA instead of b43 I can't even see available wireless networks [04:07] I just installed drupal on ubuntu. I typed in http://localhost/drupal6/ and I get this message, "Site off-line [04:07] The site is currently not available due to technical problems. Please try again later. Thank you for your understanding." Please help. [04:07] unfortunately, strace does not tell me how much time each part is taking [04:07] I got it mounted on the final Linux installation (it wouldn't mount on the live CD) [04:07] ferfactor: how are you changing the resolution? [04:08] kaell: use the -c option ;) [04:08] LUCIDementia, ndiswrapper might be conflicting with your setup. [04:08] BlAck6j73, well im changing in this route: system-preferences-monitorr [04:09] flan_suse: Is there a way to check that? And (hopefully) to fix it? [04:09] hey anyone who's good with c++ and wants to help a noob (aka me) please get on ubuntu-programming [04:09] greezmunkey, syscall write is taking 100% of the time, for a total of 0.000039 seconds [04:09] ferfactor: whats the lowest that works? [04:10] the 15 seconds are not accounted for in any of those syscalls [04:10] how do i change the screen resolution for a system not running X (10.04)? [04:10] BlAck6j73, is 640x480 [04:10] LUCIDementia, pastebin this: lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [04:10] kaell: Heh, had to man that, try strace -r ping google.com [04:11] BlAck6j73, i have to say it, my laptop lcd broke down a few weeks ago, so i had to conect my laptop to a pc monitor [04:11] kaell: you should see 0.0000nn numbers [04:11] flan_suse: can you double check that command? Nothing happens when I press enter [04:11] vithos, system>prefferences>display [04:11] I just upgraded my Ubuntu to lucid, I upgraded because my external drives won't show at all. They still wont mount, any ideas on why this might be? [04:11] linuxmonster: i'm not running X [04:11] ok, it keeps pausing at poll and read operations [04:12] e.g. 0.000135 poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 4975 <<>> ) = 0 (Timeout) [04:12] Aazoris here again, Does "PuTty" work great on Win7 x64? [04:12] ferfactor: try with the "refresh rate" set to 60hz [04:12] LUCIDementia, that means ndiswrapper module is not loaded. [04:12] LUCIDementia, did you reboot after enabling STA driver? [04:12] and 0.000090 read(4, "-15 Timeout reached\n"..., 4096) = 20 [04:13] kaell: who knows, have you disabled ipv6? [04:13] no, but I'll try that now. Back in a flash [04:13] nope, pretty stock install [04:13] Is there a way to get a CLI box within the gnome panel? [04:13] BlAck6j73, ok [04:13] Aazoris here again, Does "PuTty" work great on Win7 x64? [04:13] vithos, not sure ubuntu has it but as root try xf66config or xorgconfig [04:13] BlAck6j73, only the refresh rate? [04:13] will try that and then see [04:13] Anyone who has experience with belkin usb wireless network adapters please pm me.

[04:14] ubuntu server @ tty: when I go two sub dir's deep how do i get back up one level without going all the way back out then back down one (using "cd")? [04:14] ferfactor: try with 1024x768 and "refresh rate" set to 60hz [04:14] linuxmonster: no, i mean the console resolution [04:14] quick command line question. say I have a whole tree of folders that contain .r01, .r02 , etc.. files. would rm -r *.r* remove just those rar files? [04:14] linux_is_my_hero: cd .. [04:14] xorwhy : simply drag it from the menu list. === gooroo is now known as guru [04:14] !repeat [04:14] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [04:14] Aazoris: In my experience, Putty works well on XP 32-bit. Extrapolate that as you will. And there are compatibility options in Windows 7 to run it "as if in Win XP" if it doesn't work so wel [04:14] BlAck6j73, ok!!! [04:14] me: [...] so well* === guru is now known as GooRoo [04:15] K-19: Not a launcher to terminal. I mean a literal input box for typing commands. [04:15] but i am x64 so I take it, it doesn't. [04:15] xorwhy: yes right click it and choose add to panel [04:15] does anyone know why PDF documents in traditional chinese keep coming up wrong? i mean the characters are all messed up...? [04:15] lzinucs: why did they design it with two periods? [04:15] xorwhy: applications > accessories > terminal or ctrl+alt+F2 [04:16] sam_2007: missing language pack?? [04:16] hey anyone help me with some basic c++ stuff i'm basically just starting and I'm having a couple issues. if you want to help come to ubuntu-programming channel please! [04:16] linux_is_my_hero: been that way forever on unix, linux and windows [04:16] I'm having a problem where nautilus crashes on boot, and the gnome desktop doesn't show up at all but after I kill nautilus, it comes back. What should I look at? [04:16] BlAck6j73, the problem continue at that refresh rate and screen resolution [04:16] robin0800: This used to be an included applet, it disappeared in a new gnome version some time ago. [04:16] xorwhy: to get back to the Desktop after using Ctrl+Alt+F2, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 === GooRoo is now known as Yahma [04:16] or would this possibly be better: rm -r *.r?? [04:16] I don't want to lose all my files, just the rars [04:17] holmser: *.r will not match rar files [04:17] lzinucs: awesome. :-) so at the command prompt it starts out with being in the ~ directory, which seems to be a subdirectory of $ and home. why is that? [04:17] ferfactor: when you installed ubuntu did you have the monitor attached then? [04:17] anyone know why nautilus would crash on boot? [04:17] flan_suse: I can't seem to get STA working now. Something about install archive fail [04:17] holmser: *.rar would be better [04:17] long time ago I was annoyed at tracker and I've completly disabled it (can't remember how) I have it installed now but it doesn't look like it has any indexing running. How do i reanble indexing in tracker? [04:18] LUCIDementia, this is getting weird. [04:18] holmser: and even the obvious stuff like *.r?? can accidentally erase files with other extensions. try 'find . -name "*.r[0-9][0-9]" -or -name "*.rar" -print' [04:18] linux_is_my_hero: that's the natural place to be when you first enter terminal or a tty.. $ means you are a user.. if you see a command someplace prefaced with a # that means you need to use sudo [04:18] tracker-status tells me all minors are not running or disabled. [04:18] LUCIDementia, pastebin this: lsmod [04:18] holmser: and if THAT command prints out the correct file names, NOT deleting any other file, go ahead and replace -print with -delete [04:18] I don't know how to make this more clear. [04:18] xorwhy: step by step plz? [04:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/436552/ [04:19] he would like the input line of the terminal on the panel at all times [04:19] i was using *.r?? using ? as wildcard [04:19] An input box on the graphical gnome panel. Just like the URL input box in a web browser where you type URL's. Only this would be a command input box in the gnome panel. [04:20] I'm having a problem where nautilus crashes on boot, and the gnome desktop doesn't show up at all but after I kill nautilus, it comes back. What should I do to trouble shoot this? [04:20] avg_guy: Yes, and this feature used to exist. [04:20] but the -r option won't delete the directories for sure, will it? [04:20] rm -rf [04:20] closest thing i can think of is quark of running a screenlet for a terminal [04:20] holmser: I actually don't know [04:20] LUCIDementia: modprobe -l b43 [04:20] or not of [04:20] flah_suse: is that a command I should try? [04:20] isnt rm -f not recommended? [04:21] LUCIDementia: will only affect wireless [04:21] anyone w/ toshiba l505d and/or insyde h20 bios? [04:21] rm -rf was made to give geeks with no sense of humor a reason to laugh [04:21] EgyParadox, no, I use rm -rf alot, just don't put the * wildcard in there [04:21] Read mail really fast? Yeah, that joke got old :( [04:21] xorwhy: are you talking aboyt the "run application" panel? [04:21] Hi [04:21] greezmunkey: I'm not sure what that's in reference to. Are you saying that modprobe -l b43 will only affect wireless? [04:21] been running ubuntu on my laptop since 8.04.... 10.04 makes it hotter.. what should I check to see what's causing it? [04:21] LUCIDementia: yes [04:22] Is anyone familiar with Ubuntu server 10.04 and mail ? [04:22] hopefully in a good way. I'll go put it into a terminal and see what happens [04:22] Izinucs: CPU usage in either GNOME System Monitor or the 'top' command [04:22] Ian__: #ubuntu-server likely does [04:22] BlAck6j73: It is very similar to that, only the part where you type is literally in the gnome-panel at all times. [04:22] LUCIDementia, just to make sure the module is installed. [04:22] kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43/b43.ko hopefully that means something to someone [04:22] anyone using toshiba satellite l505d and/or insyde h2o bios? [04:23] I need a beer [04:23] So it's been at least 8 months or more running Ubuntu, if there was more support for issues I would think had easy or semi-easy solutions I would stick with it. Regretably I am making the switch back to windows =/ [04:23] I need a command line input box in my gnome panel, but I'd settle for a beer. [04:23] Cynthia: got that loaded.. it's barely registering anthing.. top reports most processes are sleeping or very inactive except "top" [04:23] linuxmonster: go get one! :-) [04:23] xorwhy: sort of like in XFCE? [04:23] acpi_osi=off removes dual core, but acpi=ht doesn't allow cores to downclock...any suggestions? [04:24] Done lol [04:24] BlAck6j73: Not sure, I know KDE still lets people do it. Gnome used to. [04:24] Izinucs: that probably means not much is running, as much as in 8.04 [04:24] Now I just pray my webhoast supports Zikula lol [04:24] * [04:24] xplicit313[ICAN]: You have obviously reached you "pain threshold" [04:24] linuxmonster: how do i get information on my hardware if i dont have "hwinfo" installed? [04:24] xplicit313[ICAN]: and the point of mentioning that here is? [04:24] Cynthia: but why the heat difference.. ? [04:24] can i get that off the latest server livecd? [04:24] BlAck6j73: It's a simple function, but for whatever reason it was launched into the trash on a gnome update, frustrating millions, ahem hundreds of users. [04:25] Hi everyone can someone tell me how to get xubuntu 9.10 server to see HP 6511-SU keyboard? [04:25] Izinucs: I don't know, really ; it seems that a few recent netbook benchmarks are putting Windows 7 ahead of Ubuntu 10.04 recently [04:25] xorwhy: so add an xterm launcher...easy. [04:25] Hi guys, how can I change the name of my computer? in the terminat it shows "pavel@pavel-vaio:~$" and I wish "pavel@sony-vaio:~$" [04:25] I'm having problems understanding Apache's file permissions. I know that the user running the service (www-data) needs to be able to read the files but what I don't get is how to do that without having to manually chmod and chgrp every file I upload (recursively or not). Do I need to add myself to www-data's group or vice versa? [04:26] Thanks [04:26] xorwhy: I think ubuntu just turned it into the run application panel Im sure its still in debian gnome [04:26] that while you guys are good with linux, i've yet to have anyone give any real help with the issues i've had. I was hoping maybe it would spark someone to say "Don't do it what do you need help on" but after 8 months of the same issues idk if I even want to stick it out anymore [04:26] cheese gives "no device found". used to work fine in 9.10 and just trying it now in lucid. what do I do? [04:26] Cynthia: not sure how that applies.. I've read that too.. but this is no netbook.. dual core lappy running 32 bit [04:26] estres: /etc/hostname [04:26] estres: 'hostname NAME', /etc/hostname to make the change permanent [04:26] !hostname | estres [04:26] xorwhy: the command is gnome-terminal [04:26] estres: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [04:26] GeekSquid: thank you [04:26] greezmunkey: It's just not the same. I already did that. [04:26] xplicit313[ICAN]: what issues? === clayton is now known as Guest72796 [04:27] xorwhy: what do you mean then? [04:27] xplicit313: sometime u may be having issues no one else is having [04:27] BlAck6j73, yes of course [04:27] LUCIDementia, okay. [04:27] BlAck6j73, in fact in windows i dont have these problem [04:27] LUCIDementia, what happens when you do this: sudo modprobe -v b43 [04:27] xplicit313: having issues with your microphone not working or jacksense only working when it feels like it? [04:27] <__taco> wicd can't indicate what type encryption type after finished scan? [04:28] greezmunkey: An input box in the panel. To type the command in the panel itself [04:28] <__taco> wicd can't indicate what kind encryption type after finished scan? [04:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/436555/ [04:28] linux_is_my_hero, lsdev ? [04:28] BlAck6j73: That's interesting, I'll check that out [04:28] I've got multiple issues... 1.) After a while running certain apps (e.g. - firefox, hulu, etc) The sound for those apps quit working, and I end up having to killall to the process. 2.) My western digital externals sometimes will mount, but will unmount no sooner then I open them, that's if they mount at all, 3.) this is totally irrelivant because I know theres no fix, but not having itunes or a program that is open source th [04:28] at does the same thing kind of sucks =/ [04:28] LUCIDementia, now this: sudo ifconfig -a [04:28] xorwhy: hmm. ok. Why not press alt+F2 [04:29] So I take it you all (or most) know about vps' and how to set them up [04:29] ferfactor: all I can suggest is that you try with a Ubuntu live cd and see if the problem is still there [04:29] linux_is_my_hero, its part of the procinfo package [04:30] BlAck6j73, well i'll try.. or i have to wait when some one fixed my lap [04:30] linuxmonster: how do i install something from the livecd instead of the normal run-to-the-repos method [04:30] greezmunkey: that's pretty close, as far as functionality there's little difference, and result wise it is equivalent. Maybe I have OCD or something but I want that box in my panel lol [04:30] linuxmonster: i dont have network yet [04:30] a massive amount of text ending in "syntax error" http://paste.ubuntu.com/436557/ [04:30] and I just upgraded to lucid last night [04:30] xorwhy: yeah, yeah, yeah. Heh. [04:30] linux_is_my_hero, procinfo is on your cd [04:31] and if ya dont have network then how are you online lol [04:31] BlAck6j73, another question, a friend has a mac and he installed ubuntu in parallel, so he said to me that his life battery finish very quickly [04:31] i have two computers [04:31] LUCIDementia, something is seriously wrong. [04:31] xplicit313[ICAN]: sometimes upgrades go wrong, also sometimes something that just worked in a previous version doesn't, in a later version [04:31] LUCIDementia, I think ndiswrapper might have created a conflict. [04:32] NightDragon: K-19: I've found the solution. you need to logout to make the group to be applied to the session. now it is working thanks! [04:32] sebsebseb: I've noticed that XD === Aazoris is now known as Aazoris|Anth [04:32] xplicit313[ICAN]: as for Itunes, well for buying music, theres the Ubuntu One Music store in 10.04 [04:32] ilnuxmonster: i have two computers === Aazoris|Anth is now known as Aazoris [04:32] What can I use to monitor the temp of the cpu? [04:32] LUCIDementia, try using the Live CD, without installing, and plug the laptop into a wired ethernet connection. Then enable the Broadcom STA driver under Hardware Drivers, and see if the wireless works during the Live CD session. [04:32] sebsebseb: Yeah, like grub2 incrementing (or decrementing) partition numbers! [04:32] linuxmonster: i have two computers :-) [04:32] greezmunkey: uhmm? and yes the old Grub is better really for most of us [04:33] sebsebseb: yup. [04:33] flan_suse: I don't actually have an Ubuntu CD. I used my last one to install it the first time and threw it away after. I just have one with an ISO saved on it [04:33] sebsebseb: Pay for music o.O i've never heard of such a thing =p but what if any would sync music/media to an ipod? [04:33] anybody here knows latex [04:33] ??? [04:33] ferfactor: sorry I havent got a clue im seriously macaphobic! [04:33] xplicit313[ICAN]: 10.04 has some sort of support for iphones and ipods at the moment I think, but other distros as well, however Apple could brake that [04:34] xplicit313[ICAN]: plenty of freebies in jamendo [04:34] BlAck6j73, jajaja ok thanks for ypur help [04:34] LUCIDementia, well, at this point, it's tricky to undo the damage. [04:34] what would my laptop camera be called in /dev ? [04:34] I hear a "frugal install" can boot Ubuntu without using a CD. Any tips on this? [04:34] quiescens, maybe /dev/video [04:34] anybody here knows Latex program? [04:34] LUCIDementia: that can be mounted [04:34] xplicit313[ICAN]: also Ipods and Iphones and Ipads, no thanks! i'll rather buy from companies who are actsaully Linux friendly. so if I was to buy a portable music player that wasn't just a CD player, I would buy from Cowon [04:35] LUCIDementia, me? No, not sure. [04:35] how about you greezmunkey? [04:35] I'm having problems understanding Apache's file permissions. I know that the user running the service (www-data) needs to be able to read the files but what I don't get is how to do that without having to manually chmod and chgrp every file I upload (recursively or not). Do I need to add myself to www-data's group or vice versa? === {shade} is now known as \shade\ [04:35] sebsebseb: I agree 100% however I got a great deal on a 64gig touch, so I went for it. First ipod ever, I am semi-regretting it. However it's got a lot of nice features to [04:36] allow me to rephrase my last question. Does anyone own and manage a vps [04:36] LUCIDementia: I am still learning differant boot methods, I'm not a good resource for that, sorry. [04:36] lol [04:36] * quiescens points flan_suse at quietone [04:36] rabiddachshund: You might be able to have all files uploaded to /var/www (or wherever) changed to owner www-data automatically, with the sticky/tacky permission bit [04:37] quiescens, if that is for me I don't understand [04:37] I will reformat to undo the damage. But when I first installed Ubuntu wireless didn't work. What should my first step be? [04:38] whenever i try to install software i get an error similar to "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz Cannot initiate the connection to us.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.45). - connect (101: Network is unreachable) [IP: 91.189.88.45 80]" [04:38] quietone: flan_suse was answering your question but typed my name because our names start with the same letters [04:38] anyone know where I can get live help for vps help [04:38] Cynthia, sticky bit? This is a new concept to me [04:38] LUCIDementia: come back here and ask flan_suse for help I guess :D [04:38] vps - virtual private server for those who don't know [04:38] Aazoris: your VPS hoster's documentation [04:38] quiescens, thx [04:38] lol [04:38] and/or live chat page [04:38] not good enough [04:38] + i said live help [04:38] or just check out Mandriva. Ubuntu's claim on being ready to run after installing was a huge letdown [04:39] LUCIDementia: what broke? [04:39] Any ideas from the crowd why I don't have buttons for suspend or hibernate after upgrading to Lucid? [04:39] hi ppl, my ADSL network is a little bit slow... and when some program is downloading something everything stops... this don't occur in windows or mac... only in linux (ubuntu)... how can I manage that so many programs access the internet smoothly? please [04:39] aaaaaaaa i hate permision denai2 [04:39] thanks #ubuntu! You guys rock my world [04:39] god damit [04:39] Rabbitbunny: the sticky bit makes new files in a directory acquire the permissions of the directory [04:39] nothing broke. It just didn't work to begin with [04:39] Thanks anyway [04:39] quiescens, huh? [04:39] how can i copy my theme files if they said YOU CANT COPY THIS FILE [04:39] and apparently all my attempts at making it work now block the right steps from making things work [04:39] PEMISION DENAI [04:39] WTF [04:39] flan_suse, hmmm I have no /dev/video. I've been reading the forums and am still at a loss. [04:39] Rabbitbunny: Wrong nick, sorry. me @ ... rabiddachshund * [04:39] Ohhhhhhhhhh!

[04:40] for 2 hours ive spend just to trying to learn how can i copy my theme files [04:40] and with no hope [04:40] cp [04:40] can anyone have a easy solution? [04:40] LUCIDementia: you can probably unload the wrappers, and drivers to start clean. [04:41] adamramadhan: Press Ctrl+H in Nautilus. The themes are in the hidden folder '.themes' [04:41] Ctrl+H shows these hidden dot-folders [04:41] i want to copy my theme advant on /usr/share/avant-window-navigator [04:41] i cant copy paste it [04:41] anyone know where applets are stored? [04:41] how do you run update manager in terminal [04:41] it says permision denai for 100x [04:41] Cynthia, according to the wiki, the kernel ignores the sticky bit on files and makes it so that only root can modify them. That's not really what I want, is it? [04:41] robin0800: what applets? [04:41] adamramadhan: /usr/share can only be written to by root; you'll need to use 'gksudo nautilus' [04:42] Cynthia, nvm, I read it wrong. [04:42] oook. Any suggestions for a new box that won't even boot the 9.10 / 10.04 installer from the CD? [04:42] flan_suse, Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev ff) (prog-if ff) !!! Unknown header type 7f [04:42] sksudo nautilus ? how should i work with that sksudo neutilius [04:42] Smeh: alternate installer iso?? [04:42] greezmunkey: panel applets [04:42] 03sc00i00' unexpected exit with status 0x0009 [04:42] adamramadhan: You enter the words 'gksudo nautilus' (without ') in a Terminal [04:42] Smeh: is the cdrom on the bios boot list? [04:42] Any ideas from the crowd why I don't have buttons for suspend or hibernate after upgrading to Lucid? [04:42] !terminal | adamramadhan [04:42] adamramadhan: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[04:44] I just upgraded to 10.4, however I upgraded in kubuntu using update manager, so now it boots as Ubuntu running kde. I get a splash, but no logo, just text [04:44] quietone, sudo lspci -v [04:44] thank you cynthia [04:44] Hopeless8009: as root sudo apt-get install updates [04:44] i am having some problem with 3d modeling "blender"tool [04:44] What is Ubuntu "Lucid" [04:44] I inserted an audio CD into my Ubuntu 9.10 box and it failed to mount. It also fails to eject. How can I eject the CD? [04:44] dagon: latest release i.e. 10.04 [04:44] how-are-you: as that is a specialised application, #ubuntu has little chance of helping you with Blender [04:45] (+) Please see #blender if there's such a channel [04:45] how-are-you: please /join #blender for specific application support [04:45] how-are-you: there's probably a discussion forum for blender [04:45] Ah acerimmer thank you. Just because it's recent, it's called Lucid? or is there some major deal behind it [04:45] i do not see menu of blender tool. why? [04:45] dagon: every release has a code name. lucid lynx is the 10.04 [04:45] dagon: It's just a release codename. Each version has initials one later in the alphabet than the previous. E.g. Hardy Heron, Intrepid Ibex, etc. [04:46] flan_suse: thanks, but I keep getting the error listed on the forum, like the last poster [04:46] Smeh: Heh, check this out: http://www.vtc.com/products/UbuntuLinux/BootingLiveCD/59896 [04:46] Oh ok thank you very much acerimmer and Cynthia [04:46] Hey, all =D!

The CD won't mount, but after doing sudo lshw -C disk, it reports that the tray is open, even though it's not. How can I get my CD ejected? [04:55] quietone: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ != http://paste.ubuntu.com/ :) [04:55] GeekSquid, I understand that it is SSH, but I need to mount the file system so I can just use gedit on the files I'm modifying. [04:55] i think i should go back to windows [04:55] type eject [04:55] gluonman: 'eject' [04:55] Cynthia, I've tried the eject command. Doesn't work. [04:55] adamramadhan: windows whyyy [04:55] gogeta no, are u saying that im doing it wrong, or no there's nothing missing [04:55] quietone, I don't see it listed as a device... [04:56] Aazoris: sudo apt-get install appname [04:56] Cynthia, that may have to do with the fact that the tray's status is set to open already. [04:56] gluonman: Weird, it has worked in Karmic when Right-click/Eject and the eject button didn't work [04:56] Perhaps [04:56] a lot of the built in stuff in laptops these days is usb anyway [04:56] was I kicked? [04:56] quiescens, try this: lsusb [04:56] quiescens, do it now.

[04:56] ok but isnt the update a file already on my system for it to auto update or do i have to install it manually [04:56] SamuelPeterson: yes, use the SSH function in Connect to Server, and it will allow you to mount the user's filesystem that you are logging in as [04:57] Okay, fine, quietone, you try lsusb instead.

[05:01] ekkimargni: Yeah, I installed it and SSH was added to the "Connect to Server" gui [05:02] Hi people, I installed exim on my Karmic computer about 2 months ago, wen lucid arrived, i did a network upgrade, and from now on, exim starts very very slowly. How do I prevent exim4 from starting on boot? I want it to start when I invoke the init.d file manually. [05:02] You said I needed to do the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.

I should use Z*: from now on. :P [05:02] adamramadhan: oh a dock theme i dont knoe those [05:02] SamuelPeterson: Although, if you're using a GUI, nautilus will talk sftp to the server, and gedit can edit through that [05:02] red2kic: :) [05:02] Aazoris: you probably shouldn't, if it is a server === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [05:02] btw how can i stop this irc from that chat from scrolling down [05:02] adamramadhan: getting mad at something 3rd party lol [05:02] i cant see the text [05:03] so fast [05:03] red2kic i dont have that option when i right click on the filename, do i need to restart my sys or smthin?

You can ask in #wine -- Afaik they should make launchers if you install programs, not standalone exes. [05:06] how would i allow complte access to a folder and its contents [05:06] chmod [05:06] adamramadhan: its drage it to the theme window now liek the rest oof ubuntu [05:06] red2kic, kk ty again ;) [05:06] carlitos__: (+) I have Karmic myself, and it has 6 USB icons in /media/.

[05:07] Cynthia: yes is the same this [05:07] oh what the hell i cant see your text [05:07] adamramadhan: Themes can be downloaded from the Themes page of the wiki. Once you have downloaded a theme, drag the downloaded file into the Themes area of awn-manager. Select (click on) the desired theme and click the "Apply" button. [05:07] gogeta im doing that [05:07] sean-laptop: Just for gdm or the whole screen?

[05:08] yikes [05:08] how would i allow complete access to a folder and its contents [05:08] quietone, and there's no hotkeys to toggle the web cam? [05:08] through chmod [05:08] read/write/delete/create [05:09] gogeta, it should be removed then, or maybe shows it verison or something, becouse it official. if its not official then its ok [05:09] chmod 775 dir_name I think is the syntax [05:09] adamramadhan: gnome look isnt a offical site its all uder submetted [05:09] flan_suse, good question. The only switch is for the wireless&bluetooth [05:09] btw i wasted 4 hours spending my time from now on just to copy paste, and working on how to applaying theme. [05:09] red2kic, ok.. so hp pavillion DV6915NC [05:10] adamramadhan: hese themes are for 0.3.x only. For 0.4.x, go to the Awn forum (see the "Awn rewrite (0.3.9/0.4) themes" thread at the top, MediaWiki won't render the link properly). [05:10] and trying to scroll up using empathy irc. it should be xchat [05:10] red2kic, any ideas? [05:10] adamramadhan: get xchat, you'll do better :) [05:10] sean-laptop: Yes. I'm asking if the funkylook screen occurs on only gdm or all times? [05:10] adamramadhan: they did change the theme system [05:10] can smbmount link a local folder to an FTP server online?? [05:10] any channel with 1540 users will be hard to stop the scrolling no matter what you use lol [05:10] red2kic, whats gdm? [05:10] gogeta the link please ? sory i cant read it fast, downloading xchat now [05:10] sean-laptop: The Gnome login. [05:10] adamramadhan: XChat is much better. I'd put the much in underlined bold CAPS, but I'm afraid I'll get kicked :) [05:11] Cynthia: Try it. [05:11] quietone, it's a laptop or netbook? [05:11] Cynthia: *much* [05:11] red2kic: *MUCH* [05:11] flan_suse, laptop Dell Inspiron 1525 [05:11] :) [05:11] Konversation :) Xchat ok, but :( [05:11] you had to do it... [05:11] Cynthia, hi, how are you? [05:11] can smbmount link a local folder to an FTP server online?? [05:11] I love xchat and use it only other when in console of course. but even Xchat it gets hard sometimes to follow along when there is so many guests and questions [05:11] red2kic, i am using xubuntu, so XFCE login [05:11] Yeah, sorry :) [05:11] XCHAT-GNOME ROCKS!!!!! [05:12] oodavid: I believe smbmount only deals with SMB (Samba... Windows sharing) shares [05:12] Cynthia: Hmm, OK [05:12] you would be correct Cynthia [05:12] sean-laptop: Have you tried #xubuntu? Personally, I have mine set up for autologin since I'm the owner and the only primary user of the machine. [05:12] adante: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Cloudor+-+AWN+Theme?content=123962 thers a cloud theme for the newer version [05:12] red2kic, oh ok [05:12] !bot [05:12] Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins [05:12] i will try thank you [05:12] oodavid: (+) You'd have to do something like Places / Connect ot Server, and specify FTP [05:12] what do y'all use to monitor console messages? Is there a dedicated app? [05:13] me: ot -> to === Loshki` is now known as Loshki [05:13] adamramadhan: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Cloudor+-+AWN+Theme?content=123962 sorry wrong guy [05:13] Cynthia: I've tried that but it opens a new folder showing the FTP contents, I want to specify a local folder to use instead... [05:13] adamramadhan: just find stuff made recently you should be fine [05:14] Thing is, I'm sure I've done it before so I'm kinda baffled [05:14] oodavid: Ah. Hm, I'll look for something. [05:14] Cynthia: You are a legend!!! [05:14] quietone, that particular web cam has issues with Ubuntu. [05:14] oodavid: ? at this link: http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/05/how-to-use-ftp-filesystem-on-ubuntu-using-curlftpfs.html [05:15] you know what, the olny not failing thing on linux is the community [05:15] Cynthia: How swift are you?! Amazing, thanks :D [05:15] adamramadhan: yes most of the distros have a nice communinty, not only Ubuntu [05:15] (might be back for more...) [05:15] quietone, lucky me! [05:15] oodavid: High Google-fu :) [05:15] adamramadhan: yea i looked up the theme you whanted it was made in 2007 [05:15] tail -f should allow monitoring of console messages and or logs [05:15] adamramadhan: old [05:15] Cynthia: heehee, brilliant! [05:16] hey guys will grub2 loopback feature work if the iso in on a ntfs or vfat partition? [05:16] linuxmonster: so is that what you use? tail -f in a terminal? There's nothing else? [05:16] quietone, one second. [05:16] btw oodavid if you don't like CurlFtpFS, here's my search query: http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+mount+a+ftp+folder+in+the+filesystem [05:16] flan_suse, ok [05:16] ok if there is any ubuntu core developer in this room, maybe he will see my text, make copy paste file easy. [05:16] !brainstorm | adamramadhan [05:16] adamramadhan: Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! [05:17] quietone: sudo rmmod uvcvideo gspca_ov519 gspca_main vloopback videodev v4l1_compat [05:17] adamramadhan, i think the devs have their own room on here [05:17] BlAck6j73: I don't think it will work on NTFS, only VFAT [05:17] permision thingy is takeing newbies time about 2 hours to work on it. [05:17] 10.04=epic fail [05:17] linh: uhmm? [05:17] * red2kic do-release-upgrade -d his HTPC machine and pray it does not break [05:18] Cynthia: Ta [05:18] red2kic: make a backup before you start, and then even if it fails, you won't be stuck... [05:18] what is a decent vpn server software that you can get from the repos? [05:18] I would not go that far linh only reason i dont use it is because Stanford has not updated its F@H client yet for the new libs that both Ubuntu and fedora use [05:18] !vpn [05:18] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [05:18] Loshki: A lesson worthy of passing along. :) [05:18] flan_suse, done [05:19] red2kic: been there... [05:19] !loopback [05:19] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [05:19] release dates to fast not fix bugs first [05:19] quietone, okay, now in this order: http://pastebin.org/256476 [05:19] BlAck6j73: Ask the question in #grub [05:19] So at one point I had my laptop dual screening with a 2nd monitor on 10.04. I haven't had the 2nd monitor on my laptop in the last week and have rebooted it several times. However, sometimes it boots up and the login screen isnt there. Where is it? On the "other monitor" thats not connected. Why is Ubuntu thinking a 2nd monitor is still there???? [05:19] hello i am knew to ubuntu 10.04 and i have recently installed it using parallels mac os x, however i have been unable to install parallels tools, can anybody help me [05:19] linh: I don't disagree, but the proper place for that discussion is #ubuntu-offtopic [05:19] quietone, now try the web cam with Cheese. [05:20] red2kic ok will try that [05:20] wow [05:20] creating a email server [05:20] how facist is that this is on topic [05:20] is a *pain in the ass* [05:20] Roasted: My wild card guess is that it's reading the information from /etc/X11/xorg* ? [05:21] linh: support questions are on topic here. generic complaints/whining are not [05:21] gates=jobs=shuttleworth [05:21] NightDragon: watch language [05:21] linh: Oh, stop moaning. I'm just asking you to move a discussion to a more appropriate venue... [05:22] red2kic, no idea. Its an intel card. Its no longer udal screened and under sys - pref - monitors I reset it back to be single screen with the proper resolution. But if I reboot over and over and over, about 3/10 times it fails to show up properly with a fresh boot. [05:22] no support only sheep [05:23] NightDragon: can I reccommend vpostmaster ... works really well on Hardy 8.04 ... google vpostmaster [05:23] Loshki: lol im rating for you to rain hell on him [05:23] wating [05:23] Roasted: I have 2 mons and it only picks up both if both are attached [05:23] flan_suse, It is working! Even though both vloopback and v11_compat failed - module not found [05:23] linh: Being appropriate is about respect [05:23] ့hello i have problem to install gnochm. when i type sudo apt-get install gnochm it reply gnochm: Depends: python-gtkhtml2 but it is not going to be installed. what should i need to do? [05:23] linh: People learn by making mistakes. Sit tight in your room and moan and moan and moan will accomplish nothing for you. Use #ubuntu-offtopic to release your frustrations. [05:23] oh you done it now [05:23] Hawaiian_Eskimo: It'll take some tinkering, but you can use Openswan for that. [05:23] gogeta: I'm all about killing them with kindness :-) [05:23] red2kic lot of nerd rage you got there [05:23] BlAck6j73, I never see 2 monitors in the preferences menu. But my screen will act as if I DO have 2 monitors. Very stupid. I'm tempted to install 9.10... grr. [05:23] Loshki: and the ban hammer [05:24] lol [05:24] every 6 months new mistake [05:24] all the stuff on the google seems to be about connecting to a vpn... not creating a vpn server >:( [05:24] linh: if you have specific bugs, the best thing to do is report them in launchpad with very specific details for reproduction and if possible a pointer to the upstream patch that fixes the bug [05:24] Roasted: Can't you run TTY and try xrandr? Seems like a temporary fix? [05:24] Roasted: (When that occurs). Or do you simply reboot? [05:25] linh, perhaps but atleast linux disto's dont ask you to pay $125.00 + to get the misstakes lol [05:25] red2kic, I just reboot. [05:25] Roasted: you should have "Mirror Screens" [05:25] gogeta: yes, kindness....and the ban hammer :-) [05:25] Hawaiian_Eskimo: It'll take some tinkering, but you can use Openswan for that. Google ubuntu openswan. [05:25] in human terms please i thought it was "linux for human beings"? [05:25] quietone, did you spell it right? [05:25] BlAck6j73, Nope. Sometimes the "extended screen" *IS* my laptop screen, with the login screen on the other side. I know this because if I just hit enter and hit my PW, I can still log in. I just have to get the key sequence dead on without error. [05:25] Oh bother. [05:25] quietone, it's v4l1_compat [05:25] Flannel: oh i whanted Loshki to do it lol [05:25] flan_suse, I am double checking all that now [05:26] Flannel: missed the channel name? :P [05:26] gogeta: erm i dont think Loshki is an op... [05:26] gogeta: I'm not an op, I've never banned anyone in my life... [05:26] :-( [05:26] the floodbots could ban if its needed [05:26] Roasted: Ah I dont have mine extended each mon is in a diff room === dryg is now known as DryGrain [05:27] Guys, lets get back to support. We can discuss these things in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [05:27] Flannel: I support you. :) [05:27] red2kic: Much obliged [05:27] BlAck6j73, whats retarded is the monitor IS AT WORK. Im here at home and theres times I reboot and ubuntu acts stupid in regard to the resolution and screen orientation, thinking a 2nd monitor is still there. [05:28] Out of curiosity, are you guys canonical employees? [05:28] Roasted: you try xrandr [05:28] Roasted: to change your rez [05:28] oodavid: no the ops are volunters from the community, as well as most/all people who help out in this channel [05:28] oodavid: only a handful in here are [05:29] oodavid: as far as I know, *everyone* here is a volunteer... [05:29] gogeta, I do. I go back to monitor preferences, set my resolution, hit apply, close, etc. I can reboot 10 more times and on average 3 of those times would be screwed up. [05:29] Wow, massive kudos to everyone!! off-topic(ish) [05:29] quietone, works in Cheese and other applications? [05:29] Roasted: sounds like it is confusing your monoters try sutiing down monoter 2 when not using it [05:29] flan_suse, yes it was a typo. All fixed and in a script for later. works in cheese. I will try ekiga now [05:30] gogeta, yep. I may reinstall tho, cause I have a specific partitioning structure set up for work and I forgot soemthing when I set it up originally [05:30] gogeta, but I just question if I should even bother with 10.04 on here. [05:30] Roasted: the fact that it happens intermittently, and on reboot, suggests it's some weird state left over in the hardware. Those are really hard to diagnose... [05:30] gogeta, much love to 10.04, I swear by it on my desktop, but this laptop thing is irritating. [05:31] quietone, wait. [05:31] Cynthia: curlftpfs mounted my folder to FTP - thaaanks!! [05:31] Roasted: disabling monoter wile not in use should stop it [05:31] Roasted, ya know I am the opposite I only have it on my laptop lol] [05:31] Loshki, I have no idea man. The only thing I could try is to pull the battery out and hit hte power button to drain the capacitors. Ive had that fix some very unexplainable things in the past. [05:31] Roasted: I can leave both mons on with no problems :P [05:31] oodavid: Heh, awesome :) You're welcome [05:31] flan_suse, ekiga now finds the camera. [05:31] Roasted: just unplugging it from the laptop should due [05:31] Roasted: that's worth a try you know... [05:32] what more stuff is in the ubuntu dvd than ubuntu cd? [05:32] In fact I had my gaming desktop in vista hibernate once when I forgot to disable hibernation. My PC wouldnt boot. At. All. It wouldnt power on whatsoever. Its like it was unplugged. I unplugged it, pressed power button 4-5 times, bam - fired up. [05:32] kzman, a ton of proggies you would never use probably in a million years [05:32] kzman- more bugs on dvd [05:32] flan_suse, thank you! [05:32] quiescens, save this into a file called enableovcam : http://pastebin.org/256514 [05:32] quietone, * [05:33] How can I debug a really slow mail-server? [05:33] Roasted: thereis a pkg called switchconf which will allow you to select a diiff config on every boot [05:33] kzman: DVD has Desktop CD + Alternate CD (textmode installer) + additional packages. [05:33] Roasted: vista probly ssaw it had a bad hibernate and whent back to normel boot [05:33] can someone hlp me out? everything I do results in terrible 5.1 sound. I have to leave it at stereo [05:33] kzman, but if your a programmer or a developer then their would be a ton of usefull tools [05:33] quietone, then copy it into /usr/bin/ like this: sudo cp -v enableovcam /usr/bin/ [05:34] documentation for that? [05:34] subsume: look in /var/log/mail.* and see if you can see what it's doing. You should be able to tell all sorts of stuff from the logs... [05:34] gogeta, thats exactly what happened. It didnt resume when things got running. But its just funny that two operating systems can reside on 1 system, and that ONE (not both) of the OS's can do something to lock up the hardware. [05:34] quietone, and make it executable: sudo chmod 644 /usr/bin/enableovcam [05:34] Roasted: I use it for diff networks Im on but itcan do other stuff as well [05:34] kzman: What sort of documentation? [05:34] Roasted: genrely vutting all power will reset the hibernate [05:34] quietone, and now you can make a menu entry or a panel button, and give it the command: gksu /usr/bin/enableovcam [05:34] Roasted: oh, I don't think it's hard to lock up hardware. Quite the reverse, actually... [05:34] Roasted: if you get a lockup [05:34] quietone, give it any icon you want, etc. [05:35] gogeta, Im backing my data up on it now. 2 minutes to go and Ill drain the caps and see what happens. [05:35] Roasted: effectly resetting the hardware [05:35] gogeta, then Ill just go reboot-crazy for a few minutes and see what happens [05:35] quietone, what this will do is run the script with sudo privileges from the click of a menu or button. [05:35] Loshki - I don't really know what those logs are saying. [05:35] quietone, use it to "re-enable" the web cam. [05:35] Loshki - in mail.log there's this really repetitive entry that's going every few seconds. [05:36] Roasted: as long as ther no second monoter to detect at boot i see no reasion for it to confuse anything [05:36] subsume: better start at the beginning then. What mail software are you using, and what is the problem you're seeing? [05:36] gogeta, thats where I was confused. But perhaps something is just stuck like you and several others suggested. I hope that fixes it. Its very frsutrating. [05:36] i just upgraded to ubuntu 10 and kde has lost all menus and mouse clicking. mouse movement still works, but everything else is gone. is there a file/folder i can delete to get everything to reset? [05:36] Loshki problem is mails are taking like 30min to an hour to arrive. I'm using sendmail I guess. [05:36] gogeta: Roasted: unless of course, there's a bug somewhere... [05:36] i even created a new user and still no kde except for the background wallpaper [05:37] Loshki: yea that why i said disconnect it pretty easy to tell thats a bug [05:37] Loshki, at which point, 9.10 would be in order. [05:37] gogeta, disconnect... what? === fedora is now known as Guest63189 [05:37] the monitor? [05:37] Roasted: monoter 2 [05:37] Roasted: yea [05:37] gogeta, lol, monitor 2 is about 15 miles away at work. [05:37] flan_suse, ok, just not sure why I just can't leave the modules in the current configuration for the next boot. [05:38] Roasted: so its doing it wile not connected [05:38] gogeta, theres no monitor 2. not now. not at home here at this moment. yet rebooting several times still yields those results. [05:38] gogeta, oh yes. [05:38] Roasted: i saw if you get the wrong rez just fix it with xrandr [05:38] say [05:38] subsume: hmm. Take a look at the headers of one of the mails that arrived late. You need to look at the Received headers. Each one is timestamped, so that will tell you who handled the mail and how long it took each step, so you can see where the delay was... [05:39] loshki its postfix i think. [05:39] gogeta, sometimes I get the wrong rez, but sometimes my login window ends up on the "2nd monitor." I say that because I just have the purple background, no login. But if I hit enter to select my username and type my PW, Ic an log in, proving the login screen should have been on the 2nd display that wasnt existent. [05:39] quietone, try it. [05:39] hi [05:39] quietone, reboot and see if the web cam works. [05:40] Roasted: so your running with 2 displays now or not [05:40] subsume: a minute ago you said it was sendmail. It can't be both. Either way, that's not what I asked... [05:40] what's the package i have to install to compile software? [05:40] quietone, add those modules to this file: /etc/modules === tecky_ is now known as tecky [05:40] gogeta, I do not have 2 displays. [05:40] Hawaiian_Eskimo: build-essential should suffice [05:40] quietone, that will force them to load upon boot up. [05:40] Roasted: i say as long as you only have 1 display that bug whont reapper [05:40] gogeta, but sometimes ubuntu boots up and thinks it does, with my login screen not here. [05:40] Cynthia: thanks, can never remember that package name... [05:40] gogeta, plus I can move my mouse to the right, and itll keep going. it wont hit a "wall" like it does on the other edges [05:40] Roasted: oh then disable display to totaly [05:40] 2 [05:41] gogeta, I did. [05:41] Roasted: that should fix it [05:41] gogeta, theres no display 2. theres only my laptop screen. [05:41] theres NOTHING else. [05:41] yet it persisted. [05:41] see my frustration now? :( === Nakkel_ is now known as Nakkel [05:41] Roasted: yep but in your display prefs tell it to display knothing on monoter 2 so even if it thinks you have 2 it whont try to use it [05:42] gogeta, I understand that. But in display prefs, theres no monitor 2. Nothing. Just my laptop screen. No dual screen configured, etc. [05:42] ubuntu [05:42] loshki well I don't have examples...its just my users are always sending me email telling me the mail isn't arriving. its seemingly random. I get them instantly. I suppose I wonder what all these logs are constantly chattering about [05:42] gogeta, I dont know how to disable something when it doesnt exist in the prefences [05:42] I have install samada [05:43] but it don't work [05:43] Roasted: i saw when it bugs again drop it bash sudo service gdm stop login then startx [05:43] Roasted: that way if it is seiing 2 you can disable it from there [05:43] Are noobs allowed to ask questions here? [05:43] gogeta, I did the battery thing, pulled it and hit the power button a bunch of times. Rebooted 3 times, no issues. [05:43] Moocman, absolutely [05:43] Ok [05:43] gogeta, gonna keep rebooting to see if that fixes it [05:43] loshki for example, this goes on every few seconds in mail.info - http://dpaste.com/196896/ [05:43] I'm trying to install something using the Live CD [05:43] a buddy of mine has given me access to his server to set up irssi and general irc stuff. problem is hes Finnish. is there any way to set up my user specific language settings? perhaps in .profile? [05:43] And I'm not totally sure how [05:44] Moocman, install... what? Ubuntu? [05:44] Roasted: if it does bug you dont need to keep rebotting you can drop to bash and reset shut down gdm and startx x or even restart gdm [05:44] Moocman, what is "something" [05:44] Avast4 [05:44] Moocman, well you're on a LiveCD environment. I'm not entirely sure you can install stuff on a LiveCD. [05:44] Moocman, no need [05:44] shift_wreck: it might be possible to do that; try adding the lines LC_ALL=en_US.utf8; export LC_ALL to your .bashrc or .profile [05:44] linux is enough safe [05:44] No, I had a virus crash Windows 7 [05:45] Roasted: then in the bugged state you can get a better idea of whats going wrong [05:45] Cynthia: :3 [05:45] So I'm using Ubuntu to scan Windows for the virus [05:45] tsyj2007, agreed - however my linux box is a file server. You can still dig up windows viruses even though youre on LInux. [05:45] thanks ill try that [05:45] flan_suse, ok. I will sort that out later. Thanks for everything. [05:45] you can install stuff temparly on a live cd [05:45] how do people get virus [05:45] tsyj2007, not to mention what Moocman just said. Scanning a windows partition from Ubuntu is a GREAT way to get infections off your system. [05:45] all my years never had one [05:45] gogeta, really? I dont understand why I was unable to install Clam TK on a livecd then. :( [05:45] subsume: well, like I said, the first step is get hold of an email that arrived late and examine the headers. Next time you get a complaint, ask them to forward the email to you, and then you can ask here for someone to look at it with you. [05:45] quietone, no problem. [05:46] Roasted, what [05:46] gogeta, NOOOOOOOO! It did it. [05:46] I've got a USB with the download on it, but I'm unsure how to run/ install it [05:46] Roasted: it makes a ramdisk and you can install [05:46] Im reinstalling. This is ridiculous. [05:46] quit [05:46] Roasted: did you do what i said [05:46] i even created a new user and still no kde except for the background wallpaper [05:46] i just upgraded to ubuntu 10 and kde has lost all menus and mouse clicking. mouse movement still works, but everything else is gone. is there a file/folder i can delete to get everything to reset? [05:46] Roasted: drop to bash ctrl alt f1 [05:46] k [05:46] do people prefer thunderbird over evolution? [05:46] one second [05:46] ok... so... i have ubuntu detecting my NVIDIA array... but when it tries to create/format ant ext4 partition, it fails... any ideas? [05:46] Roasted: login and do sudo service gdm restart [05:46] renegaid, I do [05:47] Anyone have any luck installing Sound Blaster Audigy in Lucid?? [05:47] Roasted, ok,,, [05:47] subsume: Hmm, I'm not a postfix expert, so I'm not sure about the logs myself. The addresses me@domain.net and root@domain.net look odd. You might need to ask on #postfix [05:47] anyone had any luck getting 5.1 sound with xfi sound card [05:47] Roasted: you donnt need to reboot like crazy to restart x [05:47] what would be the apt-get command to insure all the packages are properly installed and updated? [05:48] how do i find a file in a directory using the cli? i wanna find a file that has "Primer.Plus" some where in it. would it be find /media/sdb1 *Primer.Plus* ? [05:48] gogeta, are you saying run sudo service gdm restart to restart X, or is that something you suggest as a fix to my problem? [05:48] marloshouse, apt-get dist update or upgrade I think is the command [05:48] Roasted: well lets see if restarting x unbugs it === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [05:49] linuxmonster: thanks [05:49] gogeta, I restarted X. However Im going to keep rebooting to see what happens. So far 1 reboot was good. [05:49] Roasted: How would I install it to the USB stick? [05:49] Roasted: so restartind gdm unbugged it [05:49] gogeta, well I want to keep rebooting to see. 1 reboot doesnt mean its fixed. [05:50] gogeta, I rebooted 5 times before and thought it was fine. on the 6th try it was bugged. [05:50] why do you reboot so often Roasted may i ask my folding at home machine and file server I cant even recall the last time I rebooted it [05:50] hello how do I get a 6511-SU keyboard to work on my xubuntu 9.10? [05:50] linuxmonster, Im trouble shooting a display problem @ login screen. [05:50] server [05:50] ? [05:50] Roasted: well if you just have to do that simple command to pull out at least you dont need to reboot [05:50] So, what do y'all use to monitor console messages? Is there a dedicated app? [05:50] gogeta, I know, but I know by rebooting IVe seen the problem surface - so I want to continue the EXACT same thing I was doing before to truly determine if the service gdm restart command helped. [05:51] so im just gonna go ahead and assume using the backtrack repo in lucid (amd64) breaks everything [05:51] Yeah I saw that Roasted but I am trying to figure out why you reboot so often is all [05:51] Roasted: if it helped when you just bugged it did [05:51] is there any info that can help me with this??? [05:51] Loshki: I just use tail -f [05:51] Roasted: it whont kill the bug but work around it [05:51] Loshki: do you mean a certain log file? [05:51] Loshki, I mentioned tail -f like 1 hr ago for you lol [05:51] linuxmonster, the problem Im experiencing is very random. I rebooted earlier 10 times, and the problem showed up twice. I just want to keep rebooting for a few more minutes to see if the problem comes up then. [05:52] ok... so... i have ubuntu detecting my NVIDIA array... but when it tries to create/format an ext4 partition, it fails... any ideas? [05:52] gogeta, I didnt have this problem before I ever tried dual screening. [05:52] could someone please help me write a command? i need find a file that has "Primer.Plus" somewhere in the title. would it be " find /media/sdb1 *Primer.Plus* "? [05:52] linuxmonster: so you did, please don't be offended, I simply wanted a second opinion? [05:52] linuxmonster: any thought about why my kde would be disfunctional after the kubuntu 10 upgrade? [05:52] gogeta, there it is. problem is back. [05:52] Roasted: probly a bug in your video driver [05:52] *shrug* intel card. [05:52] Roasted: well do a gdm restart and see if it goess away [05:53] Roasted: at least you have a workaround now [05:53] Loshki, no offence taken [05:53] Roasted: then file it as a bug [05:53] linuxmonster: Cynthia: years ago when I used Solaris, we used something like xterm -C but it doesn't seem to work on Ubuntu... [05:53] gogeta, yeah - I should. Where would I do that at. [05:53] Roasted: welll did restarting gdm make it go away again [05:53] !bugs [05:53] 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 [05:54] marloshouse, cant say i do but I have always been a Gnome user and I had no issues upgrading one of my laptops to Lucid [05:54] gogeta, You know at the login screen, that bottom panel with the login options? [05:54] gogeta, I have the login screen on my laptop, but the bottom panel is gone. I assume its on the "other" non existent screen. [05:54] Roasted: after doing a gdm restart? [05:54] yes [05:55] Roasted: try sudo service gdm stop [05:55] Roasted: then startx [05:55] lakeoftea: easiest is to do something like: find . | egrep -i Primer.Plus [05:55] Roasted: bypass gdm [05:57] lakeoftea: you can try this in a terminal. It will print the location if it finds it: 'find . -name "*Primer.Plus*" -or -name "*Primer*" -print' [05:57] Roasted: see if the bugs corg relted or gdm realted [05:57] xorg === shai_ is now known as shia === shia is now known as shai [05:57] gogeta, I doubt its xorg. You need to be root to write/alter xorg. I never logged in as root for the 2nd mo nitor. That was just in the preference menu [05:58] Roasted: did startx get you logged in [05:58] um... with a xp linux dual boot, where do i put the boot loader? [05:58] Roasted: after stoping gdm [05:58] gogeta, didnt try yet -in the process of filing the bug. [05:58] michelle__: on the MBR [05:58] is there a easy way to convert fstab to use uuid? [05:58] michelle__: Master Boot Record [05:58] Roasted: all gdm is a gui login anyways you dont relly need it [05:59] kk so i select the raid drive and not a particular partition? [05:59] michelle__: oh raid hrm [05:59] !raid | michelle__ [05:59] michelle__: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto === aiden is now known as AidenGarrett [06:00] wildbat: how do you mean convert? [06:00] gogeta, wondering if I should just put 9.10 back in. I have a weird wireless issue in this laptop too. [06:01] Roasted: well lets see if skipping gdm works [06:01] michelle__: normally Grub goes on the MBR [06:01] After installing ubuntu today windows 7 will no longer boot =\ Anyone know of anyway to fix this? And if I update to 10.04 ubuntu boots to a blank screen =\ [06:01] yea it's not really clear what to put the boot loader on in the fakeraid hoe to [06:01] Roasted: and its just realted to that and not corg [06:01] xorg [06:01] michelle__: I think thats also the case with RAID [06:01] !grub2 | michelle__ [06:01] michelle__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:02] Roasted: best to track the bug as close as possable so they knoe where to look [06:02] yea it is... i just dont know if the MBR is on the device, or on the pimary active partition, which would be the ntfs partition with wondows xp in it [06:02] Roasted: relly such a miner bug wouldent deture me [06:02] BlAck6j73, change /dev/sdx to UUID [06:03] gogeta, well the wireless is a hueg issue, but nobody seems to have an idea in that department. [06:03] Roasted: i knoe a bit abought wirless [06:03] gogeta, besides, besides default themes, 9.10 and 10.04 arent different enough to restrict me from doing any work on 9.10. [06:03] gogeta, well, want to hear my interesting problem? [06:03] Roasted: so did killing gdm and starting x yourself get around it [06:03] red2kic: when you install Ubuntu is does it for you [06:04] gogeta, just filed the bug. going to try it now. [06:04] Roasted: the two new themes in 10.04 aren't that good really, plus I think theres a ppa for 9.10 for those themes [06:04] BlAck6j73: Not when you're committing to major upgrades. In my case, I have two hard drives so it prompted me about which hard drives + partitions. [06:04] sebsebseb, I agree - I liked ambiance but didnt like the coloring, so I edited the config files to edit the color choices. I take that same package and put it on my 9.10 desktop here at home and it works fine. [06:04] sebsebseb: yea butif his bug goes in filed it would linger [06:05] unfiled [06:05] BlAck6j73: All goes well. It's just matter of deciding on package maintainer's version against mine. [06:06] red2kic: ok got you now [06:06] Roasted: another way i guess would be bypassing the auto detect genreting a corg config and telling it you have only 1 display [06:06] xorg [06:07] Roasted: 10.04 desktop edition is quite the disapoitment really compared to previous versions, for various reasons, at the moment [06:07] wildbat: are you doing an upgrade? [06:07] sebsebseb, 10.04 was flawless on my main desktop. I fricken love it. Im just kind of blah right now with the wireless issue Im having. However, that issue is EXTREMELY weird... === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [06:08] Roasted: I think there was someone earlier with a similar issue [06:08] sebsebseb, probably me. I remember seeing you in here when I was asking for help. [06:08] BlAck6j73, nope ~just got dozen of partitions i want to put in fstab ;p [06:08] Roasted: ubuntu auto detect your stuff now but if you make a corg.conf it will use that insteed so you could force it to 1 display [06:09] xorg [06:09] i always miss that key for some reasion [06:09] hey thanks again Cynthia. your solution works wonderfully :) [06:09] sebsebseb, my laptop works on WPA + WPA2 networks just fine. At work we have 8 buildings, each with its own network. One building in particular secured with WPA wont let me on the wireless. Mac filtering? No. ERrors in authentication? No. Just regular WPA. WICD and NM both didnt work. Shrug. [06:09] shift_wreck: er, you're welcome. but I already don't remember what it was about. Curse my short-term memory [06:09] wildbat: well I think you can just paste them in to fstab [06:10] shift_wreck: Oh yeah the Finnish shell, yeah you're welcome :) [06:10] Roasted: Sure it isn't the bugs with building's wireless system? [06:10] Roasted: i say that would fix your bug for good [06:10] Roasted: That could be the AP's fault as well... [06:10] i thought that might be the case. haha yeah, the finnish shell yup [06:10] red2kic, I put the wireless system in. Im not sure what else I can cehck. [06:10] right, thanks again :) [06:10] greezmunkey, I tried ~15 access points. All failed. [06:10] Roasted: using the old school xorg.conf rather then letting ubuntu auto detect everytime [06:10] greezmunkey, with each test, I had an XP laptop of the same exact model with me. XP worked each time. [06:11] so it is a usb adapter [06:11] Roasted: Yet the ubox works in 7 of 8 bldgs? [06:11] greezmunkey, sure does. [06:11] Roasted: probly has to do with the keyif its super long some network car drivers dont like that [06:11] Roasted: dude, that is wierd. [06:11] card [06:11] Roasted: Try and install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic? [06:12] gogeta, the key at home here is longer than it is at work. [06:12] Roasted: iv herd if this before and i relly never figured that out [06:12] gogeta, of the wireless thing? [06:12] Roasted: some aps just dont like linux [06:12] Roasted: yea [06:12] gogeta, wanna know the funny thing? [06:12] gogeta, it worked 2 weeks ago. [06:13] Roasted: sounds like they may have fiklterd you [06:13] Hi.. I have hardy 8.04 and i have configured dual monitor setup.. one monitor is DVI cable connected and other is VGA connected... I see both the displays as same ... so, how can i change it to a separate ...means two different displays... any suggestions please.... [06:13] gogeta, who? the tech staff? Why would I filter myself? [06:13] Roasted: i would check the roughter [06:13] Roasted: http://www.chanalyzer.com/ [06:13] wildbat: man fstab5 tell you how to create the uuid [06:14] gogeta, we dont use routers. we use layer 3 switches. nothing has changed. [06:14] hello [06:14] Roasted: maybe it simply handed out the max amount of ips [06:14] gogeta, theres no reason for my ubuntu laptop to just say, hey, not connecting. [06:14] gogeta, nope. [06:14] Are there any extra notification plugins for Empathy other than Chat, Broadcast and XChat? [06:14] gogeta, I work in the IT staff. I know we have IPs to spare. [06:14] Roasted: if it worked and qquit its ap realted [06:14] gogeta, not to mention I did this test whene veryone was gone for the day. [06:14] just wondering if anyone is using ubuntu netbook edition [06:14] i figured out my problem.... the installer partitioner doesn't understand dmraid partitions correctly, so i have to create/format them with Gparted bfore i run the instaler [06:15] gogeta, I doubt every AP magically decided to hate ubuntu. I tried every angle of the abuilding, each area failed no matter what AP I was on [06:15] Roasted: and diffrent ap work i say reboot the ap something got stuck [06:15] Roasted: or the key you saved is wrong [06:16] I'm not able to see a usb drive in netbook edition [06:16] damn, i need some help i try to crack my own wpa2 key for security test but when i do airodump-ng then my interface sometimes its work sometimes not and i dont see any networking there i running backtrack 4 final into virtualbox someone know how to fix that please thanx for reply... [06:17] gogeta, the key is fine. and I did reboot several access points. I even rebooted the controller. [06:17] Roasted: try it threw command line [06:17] Roasted: ifconfig wlan0 eesid name key 435 [06:18] Roasted: what brand, meru, aruba, cisco? [06:18] Ill try it tomorrow. Cant try it from home :P [06:18] greezmunkey, enterasys [06:18] essid [06:18] Roasted: there's your problem [06:18] greezmunkey, worked a few weeks ago. [06:18] Roasted: if it accepts that then you knoe its not with the key [06:18] Roasted: then run dchpclient qlan0 [06:19] wlan0 [06:19] dhclient [06:19] greezmunkey, not a fan of enterasys? [06:19] Roasted: not in the least [06:19] greezmunkey, me neither. [06:19] Roasted: Meru rocks, buit that's ot. [06:19] greezmunkey, I just dont get how it worked before... [06:19] but not now... [06:20] its frustrating. === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [06:20] Okay I put 9.04 on my alienware m17x today because I have it on my xps and I love it.. but after installing it Windows 7 boots to a black screen with a cursor and does nothing but beep if you push button. I downloaded and burned a Windows 7 repair disk and it still will not boot further I was wondering if maybe anyone could offer any suggestion as to why ubuntu broke windows and how I can fix it? [06:20] Roasted: well dion it manuly might give you more info on whats going on [06:20] quick question using ubuntu to repair a hard drive im running check filesystem from the disk utility but its taking forever (2tb) anyway i can get the output from fsck.ext3? [06:20] Roasted: maybe its failing to hand out a ip for some reasion etc [06:20] !lucid [06:20] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [06:20] when was lucid released - date??? [06:21] April 25th [06:21] greezmunkey, have you had issues with linux and enterasys in the past? [06:21] brent: Didn't you start fsck.ext3 from a console? [06:21] Lucid breaks my computer even further =[ [06:21] Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf <---this is what i keep getting when i 'sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [06:21] can someone please help me [06:21] user1_ April 29 or 30, 2010; they had a delay due to an X memory leak [06:21] Roasted: are all of the bldgs controllers networked? [06:21] Roasted: (to each other) [06:22] Cynthia: was going to but was afaid to kill this one didnt think it would take so long [06:22] 中国 [06:22] greezmunkey, all buildings are with aruba. enterasys is in a stand-alone building with its own controller in the building [06:22] Cynthia - thanks. i just am running it. it removed all broken packs of my karmic :) [06:22] Cynthia: Its still running now [06:22] Roasted: iv acully seen wireless work with command line and not the gui [06:22] is there a gnome text editor that support regex replacement? [06:22] Roasted: strange stuff [06:23] I am going to assume lack of reply means no. === exploit100 is now known as dragon-fire [06:23] Roasted: and cards refule the command line and work in the gui [06:23] refusw [06:23] it even upgraded online without any issues [06:23] Roasted: now you tell us. I am highly suspicious of the ent* gear then, latest firmware? [06:23] Cynthia: was hoping there was some tricky way of piping it or something [06:23] brent: ehhhhh - well, if you had started it under 'screen' you could have detached and then reattached your screen [06:23] greezmunkey, offhand I'm not sure. But at the same token, it worked flawlessly before on 9.10. Even on 10.04 for a week or so I was fine. *shrug* [06:24] but apport is still buggy [06:24] Roasted: That's why it's only WPA then, huh? [06:24] Cynthia: sucks there is no progress bar or anything in the disk utility [06:24] greezmunkey, its WPA2 personal I believe. [06:24] greezmunkey: well after he trys it command line he should get a good idea of whats up [06:25] oh wait. [06:25] alrighty then.... [06:25] I ran a tail command earlier when trying to connect to it. [06:25] 1 second [06:25] wildbat: gedit supports plugins [06:25] kregexpeditor does that and can be run in Gnome but think it also would require installing a ton of QT libs [06:25] brent: oi, Disk Utility... Palimpsest? Its benchmark UI is awesome, but I didn't know its filesystem check interface had shortcomings [06:25] gogeta1: Roasted yeah, I agree, also tail -f /var/log/syslog to get a clue as to where it's falling down. [06:25] opps [06:26] greezmunkey, I have that. one second. [06:26] wildbat: kregexpeditor does that and can be run in Gnome but think it also would require installing a ton of QT libs [06:26] BlAck6j73, thans~ [06:26] greezmunkey: i bet it ran out of leases [06:26] After a few Hibernation/Wakeup cycles ubuntu becomes very slow [06:26] hi all, how can I create an installation repo for my local network, using the DVD I just downloaded? [06:26] gogeta1, greezmunkey, http://pastebin.org/256620 [06:26] greezmunkey: only way i see it work then stop [06:27] gogeta1: could be, especially if they have a lot of transients, and long lease times [06:27] association took too long [06:27] right thre [06:27] all, what is the best itunes replacement for ubnuntu? looking for something for my netbook that i can manage my iPhone with [06:27] torshido: is it just one dvd? [06:27] if you cancel an fsck will it start from where it left off [06:27] BlAck6j73: yeah, the one from the ubuntu.com [06:28] jackieO, if you find one let me know as I have found nothing that will let me get into Itunes [06:28] brent: no, it will start from scratch next time you run it... [06:28] linuxmonster: blehhhh [06:28] Roasted: you ap is rejecting you its not the card [06:28] linuxmonster: i was worried as such [06:28] gogeta1, what more can you tell me about it? [06:28] Loshki: how bad would it be to kill the fsck.ext3 process [06:28] Roasted: its probly out of ips to give out there called leases and by defult it only gives out 100 [06:29] Roasted: those stay for a set amount of time like a week [06:29] gogeta1, that doesnt explain why 100 other laptops work no matter where I throw them, but magically my laptop fails everywhere I go. [06:29] brent: It's supposed to be harmless to interrup an fsck, but I don't like to do it... [06:29] Roasted: they still have there leases [06:29] Roasted: what's in /etc/network/interfaces ? [06:30] torshido: use apt-cdrom [06:30] BlAck6j73: I just want to install a lab, I dont care about updates, I'll install a proxy later [06:30] Roasted: once some free up it will rpobly take off working again or you can go reset them [06:30] BlAck6j73: thanks [06:30] greezmunkey, I have a unique setup with my laptop. My wired interface is static in etc/network/interfaces along with the default auto loopback. I let network manager handle the wireless dhcp. [06:30] Roasted: you can also increse them [06:30] ? [06:30] greezmunkey, I do this because my laptop acts as an imaging server when I redo systems in the summer. So I set static up in the interface file accordingly [06:31] linuxmonster: tried this: http://www.taranfx.com/sync-iphone-linux ?? [06:32] Roasted: i say thats the issue being its a heavly used ap by lots of systems [06:32] do intel release graphics drivers, like nvidia? [06:32] Roasted: its leases filled up [06:32] BlAck6j73: I don't think apt-cdrom is helpful in my case, I need to host a local repo for a lot of machines [06:32] gogeta1, I just find that so hard to believe. We lost power on tuesday and I rebooted everything in that building. I had wireless problems on teusday, wednesday, a week ago, etc. [06:33] Roasted: they saved [06:33] there === pinoyskull- is now known as pinoyskull [06:33] torshido: you could use FTP [06:33] Roasted: and if one of you admins set to a low amount it will fill quickly [06:33] greezmunkey, what do you think? [06:33] jackieO, No i have not but I bookmarked it as its getting late here and had a cpl. Will check it out in the morning [06:33] gogeta1, we should have quite a few to spare. [06:34] torshido: or even apt-mirror [06:34] linuxmonster: cool. good luck. looks promising. also noted is that it says it works without jailbeaking :) [06:34] BlAck6j73: just copy the DVD content to an http pr ftp server, thats all? I am an Red Hat Certified Engineer, so I know how to do this in RHEL or Fedora [06:34] Roasted: irs easy to look check roughter look at amount of leases and amount of pcs [06:34] Roasted: who knoe how many wardrivers leeched off you that all gets saved [06:34] Ok. I'm sorry, but I need help installing Ubuntu [06:34] BlAck6j73: Can I populate apt-mirror from the DVD? [06:35] Roasted: its easy enough to reset the leases [06:35] gogeta1, that's a highly improbabal thing. Where I work is surrounded by a few miles of corn fields. [06:35] gogeta1, you cant even SEE any houses in the area, and the road is about 300 yards from the building === remote_ is now known as remote [06:35] Roasted: well if you got 50 pcs and 50 leases [06:35] Moocman: What exactly with? [06:35] Its the partition section [06:35] Roasted: guess what happons to pc 51 [06:36] I'm rather confused what a loader is [06:36] Moocman: Ah that, yeah can get quite confusing. Can you read out the error/question/whatever completely to me? [06:36] gogeta1, I know. I just find it hard to believe with 350 computers being in the building, for days/weeks its ALWAYS mine that doenst connect yet everybody else can connect fine. [06:36] thats just hard to believe. [06:36] Ill take a screenshot [06:36] Roasted: 350 pcs oh yea its leases are full [06:36] jackieO, not sure its a issue but python-iphone is missing from karmic [06:36] gogeta1, no, I'll bet any money theyre not. we have things vlan'd off, etc. [06:37] or some a user says [06:37] Roasted: lease = amount of ip its willing to give out [06:37] Roasted: has knothing to do with other settings [06:37] torshido: how about this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2595774&postcount=2 [06:38] Roasted: I would have to see the ent* config, but it is likely a supplicant issue, perhaps timing - hard to say. I doubt it's purely a networking issue (IP, leases, etc) Something subtle between wpasupplicant and the setup or firmware on the ent* gear. [06:38] is there a GUI app for cpu temp, other than setting up conky for GNOME? [06:38] Roasted: from you log you are being rejected by the ap [06:38] theadmin: I'm not sure what it means but it looks like to me that my Windows 7 parition is only 15GB, which it isn [06:38] http://tinypic.com/r/2wd7l1s/6 [06:38] godricbrutus, lmsensors and GKrellm can do that [06:38] BlAck6j73: that would work for one machine [06:38] greezmunkey, would the firmware on the gear have this effect on my laptop regardless of whether Id be running windows or linux? [06:39] Roasted: I mentioned. Try linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [06:39] or there is also gnome-sensors package in lucid aswell, It does not like my mb though [06:39] Moocman: bleh, tinypic. Works slowly from over here. Just a sec [06:39] red2kic, I got that - but I cant test them from home :P [06:39] theadmin: Should I just continue, or should I manually specify the partition? [06:39] BlAck6j73: I loop mounted the DVD iso file to my httpd server, and I'm booting the mini.iso image right now... It looks like it is working [06:39] linuxmonster, thanks [06:39] BlAck6j73: very easy [06:39] Roasted: I helped you with that avahi-daemon.local if you don't recall. :P [06:39] Hi, i just upgraded my system to 10.04. I am facing problem with the backspace and control keys. The problem is, the backspace key is deleting only one letter a time. To delete another letter, i have to press the backspace again. how to fix this error? [06:40] BlAck6j73: I just had to choose a manual mirror configuration and point it to my httpd server [06:40] red2kicc 360 pcs a stock set rughter its pretty easy to see why hes getting rejected [06:40] Moocman: I always manually specify them %) [06:40] * Moocman cringes [06:40] godricbrutus, if you use gnome you can add gnome-sensors its a panel applet [06:40] The same problem is for control keys. (Keybord left, right, up, dows) [06:41] Roasted: go in the roughter increses the leases to like 400 it should accept you after [06:41] torshido: yeah thats good I thought you might not have a web server setup hence FTP! [06:41] What is that with all teh floodbots being op'ed? [06:41] Theadmin: Does the live CD automatically create a 41mb FAT16 partiition? [06:41] Roasted: also increse the ip range to refelect that [06:41] Roasted: no, the sofware is differant. Remember, most windows software, and wifi clients for that matter, are poorly written (usually for reasons of compatibility) *nix devolopers tend to stick to the rfc's, and sometimes don't play well with their windows counterparts. [06:41] Moocman: Whaaaaaa? No. [06:41] BlAck6j73: what's the difference between mini.iso and the alternate cd? [06:41] oh k..... [06:41] they where lonely theadmin so they got op'ed to spend some quality time together lol [06:42] gogeta1, I KNOW we have leases avaiable. Iknow we di because we plan to expand another lab by adding 30 systems this summer and we have plenty of room for that. [06:42] Roasted: does your ip range reflect the change its easy to forget [06:42] gogeta1, I just remember looking at the number and being like, oh wow, we have a lot of headroom. [06:42] Roasted: if your ip range is still only in the 100 range you will still run out [06:42] gogeta1: thanks [06:43] how to fix the backspace problem ? [06:43] adante: thank ? [06:43] torshido: dont know! I think mini is for net install and alternate has diff software on it [06:43] gogeta1: not sure, you linked me to a cloud theme about 90 minutes ago :] [06:43] gogeta1, I appreciate your help, but it's not an IP lease issue. I'm sure of that based on the extra padding we had to play with. [06:43] BlAck6j73: thanks for your help. I'm a Fedora guy myself but I have a lot of respect for Ubuntu [06:43] adante: oh your theme was to old will that was easy [06:44] torshido: np [06:44] I gotta get to bed. thanks for the help guys! [06:45] greezmunkey: can lead a horse to waer i suppose lol [06:45] water [06:45] In lucid the closing box is on the left [06:45] for every window [06:45] this will take sometime to adjust [06:46] how to enable repeated delete function when i press the backspace button? [06:47] Know of a program to retrieve data or partitions [06:47] TooR4u: Lift your finger up. Lift your finger down. Repeat. [06:47] TooR4u: Under what, console? GNOME? KDE? [06:47] Chepecarlos : gparted [06:47] Chepecarlos: not linux ones no linux zeros files at delete they hard to recover if not inpossable [06:48] red2kic hehe [06:48] red2kic, funny. R u pressing the backspace button 100 times to delete 100 chars ? [06:48] red2kic how does one lift a finger down :P [06:48] torshido: umm hold it [06:48] Cynthia, in Gnome [06:48] what is the best apt proxy server? [06:48] TooR4u: I'll assume GNOME. [06:48] I am parted magic [06:48] !best [06:48] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:49] System / Preferences / Keyboard, tab = General, option = Key presses repeat when key is held down [06:49] tesdDisk [06:49] TooR4u: Hold SHIFT + HOME/END. That'll highlight to the beginning or the end. New trick. [06:49] red2kic, wow.. great .. lol .. [06:49] Hello all, quick question if there are any SSH experts. I have my home machine that I need someone to SSH into but don't want to give him my public IP address. I also have an external monthly VPS that I have root on. Can I make some kind of port forward on my VPS to point to my home IP, but let the person connect through VPS address instead? Sounds confusing but basically like a bounce ? [06:49] (Or Ctrl+A. But what if you don't want to delete a whole line?) [06:50] In nautilus you have the choice to save the password when connecting to something with sftp. Where does it save it? [06:50] optical: you could also make a dns [06:50] like at dyndns.org ? but then they just ping that address and get my public IP that way [06:51] optical: you could make a vpn to your frend [06:51] optical: unless you set their login shell to /dev/null, (or git-shell or something) they will know your ip address once connected [06:51] optical: Make a host at DynDNS that will resolve only for a limited time. Delete it afterwards. [06:51] bummer [06:51] optical: Why do you not want him to know your public IP? Make a new account (for him to ssh into). Different password. Even if he get in, he could run lynx (and whatismyip.com) such. [06:51] yeah i guess you're right [06:51] But ys, there's no way to not give them your IP in the end [06:52] thanks for confirming :) i am a novice user who needs someone to SSH in for help === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [06:52] optical: yea once connected they will knoe it anyways unless you proxy it [06:52] theadmin: If sda3 is my Windows Partition, what should I be doing next? http://tinypic.com/r/5cg6mx/6 [06:52] hey guys :) [06:52] "wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -q echo" [06:52] can anyone assist with a tech video issue with my ubuntu 10.04 install [06:52] Cynthia, Thank you very much. problem solved .. :) [06:53] input not supported with an nvidia 7600 gs [06:53] Moocman: I dunno what's that weird fat16 partition... resize one of partitions and install Ubuntu on it [06:53] wicd hangs up at obtaining an IP address on an en crypted wireless network.Is there a workaround i can use? [06:53] you're welcome TooR4u [06:53] best torrent for linux [06:53] How do I resize a partition? [06:53] optical: then even what my ip would wwork for the, [06:53] them [06:53] Moocman: do you have any idea why sd3 doesn't know it's used space? [06:53] wouldent [06:53] Moocman: Use GParted, right-click the partition and choose Resize, then Edit/Apply [06:53] Moocman: Use Gparted. (Gnome Partition Editor). [06:53] im trying to watch AVATAR but when i run it i git an error could not read form resoursce can some one help [06:53] Back up data first [06:54] Does Gparted come with Ubuntu [06:54] Moocman: yes [06:54] Or does it have to be downloaded and put on a CD? [06:54] Hopeless8009: Did you rip it to a codec that you can't read back, perchance? [06:54] Moocman: it's on the Live CD, but not in the install of Ubuntu === severity1 is now known as zz_severity1 [06:54] So how do I use Gparted? [06:54] Where do I find it? [06:54] no i cant rip it eather [06:55] optical: dont knoe why you even worry abought them having you ip [06:55] Moocman: system > administration > partition editor [06:55] optical: a linux 2 firewalled [06:55] optical: they could do more damage with sudi then your ip [06:55] sudo [06:55] Cynthia: when i tried to rip it it wouldn't work eather [06:56] Hopeless8009, thats because it's a encrypted dvds [06:56] Hopeless8009: yea avatar has some crazy new encrytpion [06:56] Moocman: within Ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get install gparted' - however you won't be able to resize a partition if Ubuntu is currently using it. That's why a LiveCD is usually better: no hard drives are tied up at all, so you can do everything [06:56] Hopeless8009: it got hacked aroundy but you will have to look that up on your own [06:56] I'm trying to share my internet connection with my Palm device.

[06:58] <_Snork> is it a bad idea to have a swap partition on a raid 1 mirrored LVM volume? [06:58] But It won't let me [06:58] Moocman: so you first need to install gparted. is that done? [06:59] It automatically reverts to the default size [06:59] Install Gparted? [06:59] yes [06:59] Well, I'm using it? [06:59] wicd hangs up at obtaining an IP address on an en crypted wireless network.Is there a workaround i can use? [06:59] Is that installing? [06:59] Moocman: within Ubuntu, 'sudo apt-get install gparted' - however you won't be able to resize a partition if Ubuntu is currently using it. That's why a LiveCD is usually better: no hard drives are tied up at all, so you can do everything [06:59] gparted is a gnome application [06:59] Yes, I am aware of that [06:59] Ok [06:59] Cynthia: He/she is on a LiveCD [06:59] There is also a Live CD called gparted. [06:59] i mean http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/S_OzWUjlPfI/AAAAAAAABC0/x_i1Pq2Gnvw/windicators-ubuntu-software-center.jpg [06:59] Ah, awesome! [07:00] Moocman: Check out System / Administration / GParted [07:00] I'm using the Ubuntu LiveCD [07:00] I'm on it right now [07:00] vanad1s [07:00] ! [07:00] <_Snork> is it a bad idea to have a swap partition on a raid 1 mirrored LVM volume? Anyone? I have this secret suspicion maybe it is, because i guess in theory it'd required mirrored writes constantly to the swap... [07:00] Moocman: Check out System / Administration / GParted [on the LiveCD!] [07:00] But I can't resize the partition [07:00] :D [07:00] hello! [07:00] Moocman: What filesystem does it use? [07:00] ON GPARTED === The is now known as Guest61725 [07:00] NTFS [07:00] Sorry! I was just making sure :( [07:00] thats ok [07:01] I unmounted it [07:01] is there a beginner's support room? [07:01] Or whatever prefixI should use [07:01] iantlopp: You're in it. [07:01] iantlopp: #ubuntu-beginners, I think. [07:01] ouch... now I feel really dumb :) [07:01] Moocman: NTFS might be why... check the View / File System Support. NTFS should have a check mark at NTFS::Resize. Does it? [07:02] Yes it does [07:02] It says it requires Ntfsprogs [07:02] if I'm booting from a livecd, how do I access my protected home directory on my computer? [07:02] Hello, first time on IRC sorry if my ettiquete is poor lol have a questioin about getting xserver to recognise my Nvidia GT220 Video card on 10.04 it was working find on 9.10 now i can't figure out how to get it working... [07:02] Will I need to install that? [07:02] it's saying my drivers are active but wont actually let me use my video card >.< [07:03] Moocman: Just to clarify, what does the NTFS :: Resize cell look like? A Check mark or a red X circle? [07:03] tripps: Do you write down the passphrase? [07:03] Check mark [07:03] Moocman: Then you have ntfsprogs installed already. It should already be working. [07:03] I'm at a loss. [07:04] red2kic, it's not a protected volume, it's my home directory on an ext3 partition. directories like.ssh I cannot access even after mounting as root [07:04] Next to the partition name, it has an ! mark [07:04] Point to the ! [07:04] Does a tooltip appear saying why you can't do anything? [07:05] No [07:05] tripps: What do you mean by protected in first sentence? [07:05] Its right next to /dev/sda3 [07:05] Still at a loss then :( [07:05] red2kic, I mean if I try to access the directory, I get "access denied" [07:05] herm..... [07:05] ok [07:05] have you maybe encrypted that partition? [07:05] tripps: are you browsing it as root? [07:05] red2kic, mode is 700 on those [07:06] so, nobody knows, where can i download this wallpaper from http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/S_OzWUjlPfI/AAAAAAAABC0/x_i1Pq2Gnvw/windicators-ubuntu-software-center.jpg ? [07:06] BlAck6j73, yes. I've booted from livecd [07:06] tripps: Well, you're on a LiveCD -- Different user. [07:06] vanad1s [07:06] red2kic, EXACTLY. hence my question [07:06] ra100: At least I don't know [07:06] does anyone here use gedit? [07:06] what a pity :-( [07:06] tripps: Try "sudo -i" and access the folder. I guess. [07:06] mib_mib: Lot of people do. Now what? [07:06] i do mib [07:06] mib_mib: what problem do you have with gedit? [07:07] i'm wondering how i can make gedit to a similar thing to textmate command + T, i.e. go to file, or search in all files [07:07] is there a plugin that allows that functionality? [07:07] mib_mib: Textmate is a Mac editor? [07:07] or is there some way i can open my project much like i would do 'mate .' [07:08] Cynthia: yah [07:08] Uh. Not familiar enough with Textmate to even know what you want. [07:08] I'm changing my conky, and whenever I change the hard disc sections, I lose everything thats below them, what's wrong? Here's my conky: http://pastebin.com/ehXAt7NY [07:08] mib_mib: "gedit " does not work? [07:09] same.. bout the only thing i can think of is save it somewhere where it's easily accessed and use the right click script command to open as root with gedit... [07:09] dunno if that helps at all === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:09] ra100: that wallpaper is included with ubuntu [07:10] red2kic: well, i want to have my entire project (all directories), not just open one file -- have the file browser show just my project -- then i can do like a 'command + T' to go to file with name ', or if i was searching for some code within all my files, a global text search but limited to my project. [07:10] so anyone think they maybe able to help me melt down... erm fix my nvidia problem? i've tried all the forum stuffs.. and it's quazy working.. just really want to use my Compiz stuff... :( [07:11] when i boot up it still wants to goto low res mode though [07:11] Well mib_mib you can bring up a sidebar with a file browser with Gedit / Edit / Preferences / Plugins / [X] File Browser Pane [07:12] apothecary: did you install the properity nvida driver? [07:12] if i hit use different settings it boots up in high res... but have to do that every log in [07:12] what would be best? add a package to revu or report a sync bug? the package is already in debian unstable [07:12] yes RoD [07:12] It will bring up a list of files and folders neighboring your current editor file (i.e.files in same folder) [07:12] did you install the start up manager [07:12] Cynthia: yeah i got that already, i want to search though for files [07:12] hmmm [07:12] gah... noobed myself [07:12] hey all. [07:12] having some trouble with my tv card.. [07:13] what's the start up manager labled as? [07:13] apothecary: check this out http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/ubuntu-tips-and-tricks.htm [07:13] mib_mib: The file browser pane will have two icons at the bottom, a sheet of paper and a folder. Select the folder. And then click Match Filename [07:13] mib_mib: Try Geany. I don't know. :o [07:13] ty [07:13] my video is jittery. [07:13] or maybe not interlacing correctly. [07:13] BlAck6j73: really? i didn´t noticed. so i´m must be blind :-) thanks. [07:13] apothecary: /etc/init, /etc/init.d, Upstart or in GNOME, System / Preferences / Startup Applications [07:13] is there a way to mount only a subdirectory of a filesystem? e.g. i only want to mount /dev/sdb1:/home on /home ... can i do that without first mounting the whole thing? (i can always mount the whole thing and then do a bind mount...) [07:14] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable [07:14] sorry, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable;; what more i have to install to get it working [07:14] Gedit has the 'match filename' little search tool but it doesn't seem to work well [07:14] thank you let me look a little bit i'm not the best with ubuntu yet, but i love the little things it can do and really appreciate the patience :) [07:15] Ganymede: If you want to access any file on that partition, you have to mount it [07:15] Ubuntu 10.04: When I try to add a new language, it tries to install KDE! Can someone confirm this? [07:15] what's the name of that command-line app for column-aligning text? [07:15] truetom: By what method? [07:15] soreau, so basically, there is no way around mounting the whole thing and then only bind mounting /home...? [07:15] truetom: Also, which language, or which repo package for a language pack? [07:15] apothecary: in the ubuntu software center search for Startup-manager [07:16] Ganymede: The system has no way to even see what is on the partition until its mounted with the file system driver [07:16] red2kic, okeydoke thanks that worked. Coulda sworn I tried that alread :) [07:16] soreau, okay, thanks [07:16] tripps: Great. :3 [07:16] Ganymede: they have to be on seperate partitions like sda1/home sda2/usr etc etc [07:17] yes i do have that [07:17] 1.9.13-4ubuntu1 [07:17] Whats the point of having a local proxy to the packages, when if you're upgrading a distro (on say several machines) it completely ignores the proxy!!! [07:17] is the version [07:17] apothecary: did you use that to configure you boot [07:18] Can I use the alternate iso to upgrade to 10.04 a computer with no internet? I also want to use the .iso from a usb stick. Is it possible? [07:18] ah hah... no i haven't but, i will i guess it's at 640x480 >.< [07:18] what's the name of that command-line app for column-aligning text? given stdin "a aaa\naaa a" it should output "a aaa\naaa a" [07:18] so i guess 'Alt + M' is turn on matched filters or not in the sidebar pain -- is there anyway i can 'go to' this text input area? could i build a macro for that easily? [07:18] Azeotrope: I believe it's yes to the first question and no to the second [07:18] Azeotrope, thats what the alternative iso download page suggests [07:19] Azeotrope: (+) But you CAN invoke the USB Startup Disk Creator to convert the .iso to a USB stick [07:19] kk i will reboot and see if a mushroom cloud appears :) ty for the help [07:19] Cynthia, any thoughts on apt-cacher as appropriate in a multiple machine upgrade ? [07:20] sure if it doesn't work we can try something else [07:20] fluvvell: No thoughts, I never used that [07:20] Cynthia: System -> Administration -> Language Support, German with german repos [07:20] fluvvell: yea, but don't I have to boot the alternate? [07:20] omg... i wanna scream.... so i created the partitions for my installation, and formated them so the installer doesnt have to... and it now blows up trying to erase the formated partitions prior to install [07:20] truetom, will test in a Lucid VM [07:20] Azeatrope, I've just inserted the alternative and it's popped up with an upgrade option. No need to boot it. [07:20] Azeotrope, I've just inserted the alternative and it's popped up with an upgrade option. No need to boot it. [07:21] sorry spelling. [07:21] has someone of you expieriences with dc++ hubs? [07:21] fluvvell: thank you [07:21] np [07:21] hi all [07:21] hi [07:23] truetom, language-pack-gnome-de-base (11.4 MB) is downloading; file 3 of 29. is this what you had?

I am sad to see that it uses apt directly. Why did this happen? [07:24] apothecary: take it that did not work [07:24] michelle__: software raid? [07:25] didn't work but i did get the error message [07:25] because I want it on Arch Linux [07:25] nvidia on board raid [07:25] crud... it didn't copy [07:25] apothecary, whats the error message [07:25] is basically a sw raid [07:25] truetom, I can't confirm your German-language-installing-KDE bug [07:25] uses dmraid [07:25] michelle__: ok [07:25] i'll reboot and write it down.. that way we arent guessing [07:25] brb [07:25] ok [07:26] and i am trying to walk though various instructions in the fake raid how to [07:26] sunboxmelon, why sad ? [07:26] found a file search plugin for gedit nice! [07:27] the installer partitioner cant handle dmraid partitions, so u have to pre-create tem with something that does [07:27] Cynthia: bummer... i try to poke around a bit and find out why [07:27] which i did [07:27] michelle__: the installer from ubuntu? [07:27] truetom: please isolate the bug, and file it on Launchpad [07:27] :) [07:27] fluvvell: Because I want it on Arch which uses its own package manager, and if it used PackageKit completely, it would work better [07:28] was a direct integration with apt intentional to make non-deb distros sad?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [07:29] sunboxmelon, Arch the Distro ?? [07:29] yes [07:29] though, ddvdd, just to clarify, slax is Slackware right? [07:30] is the debian installer on the live cd? [07:30] slax is built from slackware ...but it's a live system in usb disk [07:30] michelle__: actually it was for LVM [07:30] sunboxmelon, so your upset with Arch, because the nice Ubuntu software centre is written for Ubuntu ? Did you know Debian/Ubuntu use dpkg ? === exploit100 is now known as dragon-fighter [07:31] sunboxmelon, not PackageKit [07:31] michelle__: no I used a debian install disc [07:31] fluvvell: No, I am upset with Ubuntu because they wrote Software Center to interact with apt directly instead of a common backend like pkgkit [07:32] ddvdd: mount the image somewhere, like 'mount -o loop YOURISO /mnt/ubuntulive', and then try 'chroot /mnt/ubuntulive /usr/bin/env ubiquity' [07:32] ddvdd: (+) I don't guarantee that it'll work though [07:32] ok ,let me have a try [07:32] i am trying 1 more thing... if this doesn't work i am gonna try mint [07:32] Pubuntu. Seriously... I mean, Linux distro's have always had odd names, but seriously come on. That was ten steps back from zero. Who came up with that?

[07:34] applaying change ? [07:34] anyone ? [07:34] yes [07:34] fluvvell: o rly? I thought dpkg had a pkgkit backend. [07:34] do you have Nvida X Server Settings [07:34] that also does not want to work but, it is installed [07:35] Cynthia: thanks for the help [07:35] sunboxmelon, according to the wiki, PackageKit is a new cross-distro framework that abstracts from the actual underlying package system. Backends are available for systems like yum, apt, conary (and more). [07:35] red2kic: thanks as well [07:35] and under hardware it says the drivers are working properly >.< [07:35] sunboxmelon, so perhaps my mistake [07:35] fluvvell: Yes, I see that, so it should work fine with ubuntu's package management [07:35] WOOT....IT'S INSTALLING === SandGorgon_ is now known as SandGorgon [07:35] apothecary, what Nvida chipset do you have?

[07:44] so i need to do the purge deally then umm... how do i run the install command again [07:44] yes [07:45] i'm uber noob [07:45] apothecary, want me to download it and send it to you [07:45] kroms, sure [07:45] i got it downloading off your link [07:45] michelle__: so grub will pick up windows wont it? [07:45] has anyone tried the new back track 4 [07:45] just when i was selecting my graphics card it'd redirect to the 480 [07:45] apothecary, ok you should just beable to install it [07:45] apothecary, HA classic [07:46] yesit's supposed to... but it said it faild to install on the raid device [07:46] dragon-fighter, Any applications, reads, forums, websites that you recommend for a Ubuntu neophyte? I've found a few 'top apps' sites, but most seem to be a bit outdated. [07:46] michelle__: so put it in the mbr [07:46] !bot [07:46] Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins [07:46] apothecary, i am fairly new to ubuntu, just jumped off the fedora core boat [07:46] is asking for a diff device.... should it go on the active primary partition? where windows is? [07:47] is ubottu's source available somewhere? [07:47] RoDiMuS-X: so i hate to ask it's just sudo apt-get NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run? or is it install instead? [07:48] apothecary, its sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run [07:48] whoops [07:48] kk [07:48] thanks again >.< [07:48] no need for the apt-get you already have it [07:48] cause i told it to install to /dev/mapper/nvidia_xxxxx which is the 750GB raid virtual disk [07:49] michelle__: Im not 100% sure as I created my raid first then made a partition for windoz and the used the rest for linux [07:49] the bootable partition is /dev/mapper/nvidia_xxxxx1 [07:49] apothecary, you may have to do: sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run [07:50] how can I backup my mbr? [07:50] #mythtv-users [07:50] Can you even backup the MBR? You can make an image of the HD right? [07:51] all i know for sure is if i put it on the / partition i will need a different boot manager [07:51] when I installed, Ubuntu took over as the MBR [07:51] is their a Ubuntu developers channel? [07:51] GVD... [07:51] Hey guys, mind if I ask a question?

[07:53] hello [07:53] ddvdd worked for me [07:53] #hackergroup [07:53] michelle__: the mbr is on the raid device ie sda as opposed to sda1 [07:53] yea... that's what failed [07:54] Hello?

[07:59] or rather, was it even available? [07:59] i can install withut a boot loader and then do the install manually... and yes i did [08:00] report it as a bug, it looks like one with all you've done to try to fix things [08:00] each time it fails it gives me another chance to select a device [08:02] yea it's a bug.. no matter what i choose it trys to install to /dev/sda [08:02] so i am gonna have to follow the manual install instructions in the fake raid how to to complete the install [08:03] what if and of stand for in command dd??

[08:30] hello [08:30] optical: that will be ok?? [08:30] I am not saying a downgrade, am saying just a fresh install to Karmic [08:31] well if it works it should bring you into an installer program [08:31] Severian, was hardy 8.04? [08:31] nevermind [08:31] it should be supported, let me check first though [08:31] optical: one more query....I'm in windows now. So if I download the file how would i get this windows drive there in ubuntu?? [08:31] Severian: This? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [08:31] optical: I don't know the mount command [08:32] optical: I used to mount them from GUI [08:32] Krishnandu: well its easiest just to download it in ubuntu. when low grapahics mode boots up, choose "stay in low graphics mode" then boot into X [08:32] then go to the nvidia URL i gave you [08:32] above [08:32] and download the file === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [08:32] Sensiva, except for one client who had a problem with java, Lucid has been a very smooth and good upgrade for about 20 machines so far. [08:32] then reboot, and next time choose Close X and go to console [08:32] and the file shoudl be where you downloaded it to [08:32] optical: There the problem comes......no screen....I'm if I choose to stay in low graphics mode nothing comes at all [08:32] optical: I waited from 5-10mins since yesterday many times [08:33] Seveas I really appreciate your amazing answer, Would you tell me please what are those machines used for? [08:33] Why does AlsaMixer provide in IBM Thinkpad T42 (as well as in most other Thinkpads) a volume bar »Master« and a volume bar »PCM«?

This system has no bootable media other than the hard disk, so if it goes badly, it will be a fair amount of work.

[10:11] google it [10:11] the musicguy [10:11] its easy [10:11] !google | akshaysulakhe [10:11] akshaysulakhe: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [10:11] if i want to move a wubi install to a real partition is lvpm still the way to go ? [10:12] TheMusicGuy: its disabled because it would normally restart X [10:12] histo: yes, that's what I WANT it to do [10:12] TheMusicGuy, System/Preferences/Keyboard Go to Layout and then options. [10:12] Severian: I've tried that before. The option isn't listed. [10:13] Severian: thanks I was drawing a blank on the exact menu [10:13] !dontzap | TheMusicGuy [10:13] TheMusicGuy: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [10:13] hello,my hp deskjet does not accept black color in color mode...does that only in grayscale mode..what shud i do [10:13] ok i'm having a weird problem with my dvd drive (this problem seems new since my 10.04 upgrade, it was fine in 9.10).. if i put a (audio) cd in, nothing happens, nautilus etc. can't see the cd. if i put in a dvd, then nautilus still can't see it, but totem can see it. [10:13] TheMusicGuy, It is called Key sequence to kill the X server. [10:13] akshaysulakhe: try different drivers [10:13] @histo..which ones [10:13] i have tried hplips [10:13] You can also install a package called something like dontzap. [10:13] where to find other drivers [10:14] akshaysulakhe: I would try a more generic or specific one in cups [10:14] I had 9.10 on my machine and it looks like when I let it upgrade someone restarted it or something and now it won't boot. the console shell tells me I'm on 10.04 and when I try upgrading or installing any packages it gives me a very long list of packages and says: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors. /n E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)". Any idea on how to fix this? [10:14] amagee: what about on the desktop or navigating to it? [10:14] How do I add the root user to ubuntu 10.04?

Bye! ^_^ [10:15] TheMusicGuy, you have to restart X after you make the change. reboot is the easiest way. [10:15] mosen6: you need to give more information (pastebin what you run and the full output) [10:15] ok histo..how to do that [10:15] Sam_Fisher: nothing comes on desktop.. how would i navigate to it? [10:16] jrib: I can't. I'm in the console and I don't have a CD-Rom [10:16] hi, i have a problem: compiz + nvidia + antialiasing disabled = vsync works, but compiz + nvidia + antialiasing enabled = vsync doesn't work :( [10:16] mosen6: do you have internet access on the machine? [10:16] yes [10:16] how do you get skype working on ubuntu 8-06? [10:16] mosen6: when you boot again hit the shift key to bring up a menu [10:17] jrib: yes [10:17] !skype | shomon [10:17] shomon: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [10:17] Severian: well..that's pretty strange. because I looked all up and down that menu TWICE before and could not find any option relating to killing/restarting the x server, and now here it is. [10:17] I had it working fine until about a month ago. Now I can hear calls but no-one hears me... [10:17] well...whatever. Thanks! [10:17] Is there a timeout call for sudo? Like sudo 'this package' ,,,,,,timeout,,,re-enter sudo password to continue? [10:17] I type !root>megamanx1978? [10:17] Sam_Fisher: which menu? GRUB? [10:17] TheMusicGuy, I think it is wierd that it is under Keyboard, but it works for me. [10:18] mosen6: yes [10:18] Sam_Fisher: and then? [10:18] mosen6: then you can try repair boot instead of regualr boot [10:18] on 64 bit version ubuntu, what is a good Power Point Viewer other than ooimpress ? [10:18] mosen6: do you recall seeing the repair choice when booting before? [10:19] phoe6: have you tried searching synaptic? [10:19] no one can help me about giFT ? [10:19] phoe6: I should say searching in synaptic? or applciations > software center [10:19] !hi [10:19] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

Up until yesterday from power button press to able to work took 30seconds. Last night I did some updates through the update manager and now startup is 1minute. Any ideas? [10:20] mosen6: Did you try Esc during Ubuntu Boot? [10:20] What I am trying to do is add a root user that I can login to my system with when I need to [10:20] wernbrenk1: i found that my ubuntu 10.04 would stop at some disk it couldnt mount [10:20] !root | megamanx1978 [10:20] megamanx1978: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:20] walilo: how did it go? [10:20] Vigo: no, I'll give it a try .. no idea how that'd help though [10:21] mosen6: if you can, use pastebinit. Otherwise, I'll setup something you can netcat to [10:21] wernbrenk1: could that be your issue too? [10:21] Sam_Fisher, it doesn't work [10:22] mosen6: I am not certain it will, depends on the release, there are a few 'hot-key' methods to enter the Recovery Console. [10:22] jrib: sadly, i can't .. can I uuse a live usb? [10:22] mosen6: if you want to [10:22] walilo: shiiii t [10:22] histo, thanks, I went to the page it tells me to go to, but it then says "wrong architecture" and it's all for 8.10 rather than 8.04. [10:22] possibly, I have a 2nd hard drive in my laptop with I have to mount manually after startup. could be that it's trying to mount it, but doesn't succeed. What i picked-up is that the issue is after I entered my password. GNome takes longer to start I think. [10:22] Sam_Fisher, i boot from SuperGrub cd to ubuntu [10:22] I want to do su instead of sudo [10:23] when I went to the "right" one it said "dependency not satisfiable"... [10:23] Which directories do I have to move to the DRBD-device if I am using tomcat and HA? [10:23] Sam_Fisher, but for windows it's boot on it at startup [10:23] I guess a more generic question is - how do you get the microphone working in ubuntu?

[10:25] wernbrenk1: you can look at the startup Applications and remove some that you dont need [10:25] I think it's 32 though because the 64 bit deb said "wrong architecture" [10:25] shomon, uname -a [10:26] hello [10:26] shomon: opena terminal and type in uname -a [10:26] !hi tgywa [10:26] I am having problems reinstalling torrentflux - http://paste.ubuntu.com/436683/ [10:26] mosen6: you can do something like this to pastebin if you want: command_with_some_output | nc ssh.jrib.net 1234 [10:26] used to work just fine, but then I removed it and now it won't isntall [10:26] The problem with using just that is that I cannot change pemissions on files and folders owned by root [10:26] how can I filter lines containing date and a key word from a file using awk [10:26] ?

[10:26] tgywa: a specific date? [10:27] :) I tried installing it, but it said "wrong architecture"... but the question is not to install skype, but to get it working. [10:27] it's already installed, and used to work. [10:27] jrib, like 10/05/2020 and key word 'GET' [10:27] wernbrenk1: there used to be a script called bootlog that would graphically plot the processes with time at boot [10:27] tgywa: why don't you just use grep? [10:27] jrib: Thank you [10:27] I think it's some setting in the audio preferences maybe? [10:27] i had to install a patched kernel, will ubuntu auto-update when a new official kernel gets released mainstream? [10:27] falafell: No. [10:28] falafell: It's a New package, so it has to be installed via a dist-upgrade command. [10:28] anyone here use rhythmbox? [10:28] wernbrenk1: sudo apt-get install bootchart [10:28] phlak_user : i'll check it out, thx [10:28] jpds, what command would that be?

[10:28] jrib: Done .. I didn't get any output [10:28] jpds thanks :) [10:28] wernbrenk1, that boot_chart is probably better [10:28] falafell: Of course, you won't recieve security updates for your kernel. :) [10:28] how do i change a shell_column?

[10:32] Severian: I am using shell not gui [10:32] histo: but what is it used for? what is local mail ? I have a separate gmail account setup.. i don't need that annoying tab in there [10:32] mosen6: yeah, until you press y/n I guess [10:33] easylancer, are you adding a new user or modifying one? [10:33] mosen6: I'm going to go make breakfast while you pastebin [10:33] Severian: modifying one [10:34] JenniferB: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=900818 I stand corrected this forum post explains more.

[10:34] tgywa: pastebin [10:35] Mouzz: I am not sure because the tutorial doesnt make it clear enough [10:35] Mouzz, I think he wants to set the bash shell, instead of dash as his shell.

[10:40] jrib, want to get lines with both patterns not one of those patterns then I think I should use 'and' [10:40] Severian: Thank you, I will try and 'fetch' IceCat ...methinks. [10:40] maccam94: For that, you need to turn on the option in gwibber preferences [10:41] Why must linux be such a headache... [10:41] Vigo, I like IceWeasel even better. Just the name I mean. They are all plays on the same joke. [10:41] bilalakhtar: i have that option turned on. do I need to have the actual gwibber application open? [10:41] tgywa: what I just told you, does that. Did you try it? [10:42] Severian: Yes, is still funny. [10:42] ok thanks Severian - it says connection failed though [10:42] Koiyuki, Nietzsche answered that long ago. [10:42] jrib, thanks and tried but didn't work the way I wanted [10:42] maccam94: no. [10:42] tgywa: why not? What didn't it do that you wanted it to do? [10:42] shomon, what says connection failed? [10:42] bilalakhtar: hmph, i've never gotten any :-( [10:42] pavucontorl [10:42] pavucontrol, even [10:42] maccam94: You can make sure if you will get nitifications, open up the "envelope" icon, and check if there is an arrow next to "Broadcast" [10:43] "connection failed: connection refused" [10:43] hey so can anyone help me with 10.04 failing to mount cds? [10:43] bilalakhtar: yup, there is [10:43] ah, maybe I should be running pulseaudio when running it... [10:43] shomon, I don't know. I have not seen it do that. And I use it a good bit. [10:43] I'd stopped it so as to try configuring with alsa and oss... [10:43] maccam94: then check in your gwibber accounts preferences, if they are turned on [10:43] I am trying to install ubuntu to help a friend out. He wants me to try to get facebooks hiphop-php compiled and working. I installed ubunto 10 32bit on a flash card and booted it on my netbook, only to find out hiphop-php wont compile on a 32bit OS [10:43] bilalakhtar: they are turned on. [10:44] I have a thin (1 pixel) white border around the dark gnome panel in Lucid. Anyone know why and what I could do with it? (it's on both the top and bottom panels) [10:44] mosen6: are you not getting the http://paste.ubuntu.com/436692/ links after you run the command? [10:44] i then downloaded ubunto 9 64bit and put it on a flash card, and tried to boot it with my PC, and got some error saying that it couldnt uncompress a file. [10:44] maccam94: bum, then I don't know [10:44] jrib: I did .. I just thought you were out [10:44] ah Severian - now that I ran pulseaudio, it works [10:44] mosen6: what command did you run to get this output? [10:45] jrib: sudo apt-get -f install [10:45] hi, is there ann app, or a script I could use to backup all of my files and settings on Karmic before I replace it with Lucid? [10:45] so, i tried to use wubi to install ubuntu 9 to my windows partition. the first time, it installed, i rebooted, loaded ubuntu. it went through all the installation, then rebooted again. when i chose ubuntu, it wouldnt load, it would just go to a grub loader with a bash:grub prompt [10:45] mosen6: did you try what it suggests in lines 8-12? [10:45] maccam94: Got it. its a bug in gwibber [10:45] maccam94: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/306263 [10:45] shomon, yes, pavucontrol is for pulse audio. I hope it helps. Pulse Audio is getting better with each release, but still crashes every once in a while. [10:45] jrib: no .. sec [10:46] madjoe, dd [10:46] so, i uninstalled that, and i am trying again. it just went through all the installation, and now its SUPPOSED to be shutting down, but it keeps having. i keep error messages about commands timing out after 120 secs [10:46] bilalakhtar: ah k, thanks [10:46] Severian: dd? [10:46] so i have no idea if i should hard reset the machine, and try to boot it or what [10:46] how do I use pavucontrol? [10:47] madjoe, dd will backup one hard drive to an identical drive. That is the best backup, but there are lots of options short of that. [10:47] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/436701/ [10:48] jrib: there were errors after that [10:48] mosen6: I need to see them [10:48] shomon, what specifically do you need? You run the program and it gives you sliders for lots of options. [10:48] ok, this the actual grub menu came up, so lets see if i end up getting any problems [10:48] Severian: the only catch is, I'm using wubi on Karmic and would like to delete all and install Lucid on a dedicated partition with options from Karmic and my files as well... will dd help me in that case? [10:48] I'm trying to get skype to record from the microphone... and audacity... basically trying to get the mic to work [10:48] madjoe, not really [10:48] HI every one, I did a Lucid upgrade when the rc was released and now I don't even have the direct rendering (it tells me "no", not segfault"), i've tried many things, and if anyone has a magical solution (except for clean install), I'm all yours! (on this chan:D) [10:49] Koiyuki: Is that a dedicated Windows Box, or can you have it dual boot? [10:49] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and firefox crashed...how can I open about:crashes? or how could I see why had it crashed? [10:49] its a dedicated windows box. as i said, i am just trying to get a piece of software to compile for a friend [10:50] jrib: private [10:50] hello [10:50] madjoe, you could tar and gzip your home directory on the wubi install. Install Karmic on the partition with the same user name and restore the tar and gzipped home directory. Then upgrade it to Lucid. [10:50] right now, ubuntu is trying to boot, and it keeps giving error messages about unable to set freq 44100 to ep 0x1 [10:50] i assume that has to do with the audio [10:50] is there a way to improve my laptop touchpad , it's slow ? [10:50] but it seems to be hanging there [10:51] jrib: did you get the link? [10:51] mosen6: replace the "|" with "2>&1 |" in your commands from now on. Also, please share the links like http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/4540/20100520124926.jpg in the channel so others can help :) [10:51] .hammertime [10:51] Koiyuki: I am still trying to figure out the Persistent USB dongle, but that may be an option if all of the Official Documentation fails you. [10:51] hi - I'm having problems using nvidia proprietary driver in lucid - dkms keeps failing to build it [10:52] yup, a bunch more 120 second time outs [10:52] wtf. [10:52] jrib: OK [10:52] the make.log just mentions about ensuring the kernel source is available [10:52] Severian: I have a friend who said he's not so keen to upgrade his system, he prefers a clean installation... well, I don't know what to think now... do you think it's ok to upgrade to Lucid? is there any difference with a clean installation at all? [10:53] madjoe: clean install is much easier.. upgrades quite often have problems that you'll end up reinstalling to fix anyway [10:53] the tutorials i found for setting up hiphop-php all were for ubuntu 9. i dont know if ubuntu 10 will have the dependencies needed. when i tried to get some of those dependies in 32bit, some couldnt be found [10:54] would they not be found cause it was ubuntu 10? or because it was 32bit instead of 64bit? [10:54] amagee: oh well... *sigh* [10:54] madjoe, There are differences, but not huge ones. I normally do fresh installs, but I upgraded a karmic machine to Lucid two days ago. It got an error or two during the upgrade, but everything works. Ubuntu is one of the best Linux distros about handling upgrades. [10:54] madjoe: No real difference, Upgrade settings and bookmarks and .config settings are preserved, so make a backup. [10:55] i can't speak about other distros but i have had several bad experiences with ubuntu upgrades [10:55] jrib: still doesn't work. see http://paste.ubuntu.com/436705/ [10:55] what about a backup like this: [10:55] * jpds rarely has issues updating. [10:55] sudo tar --one-file-system -cvf /media/external/myinstall.tar / [10:55] sudo tar xpf myinstall.tar -C /mnt [10:56] Vigo, a fress install gets you grub2, which I like noticably better than grub1. My upgraded machines had grub1, and the upgrade leaves them that way. [10:56] sup, i just updated to lucid, and now i cant enable wireless in network-manager (worked before, its a standard intel 3945abg) [10:57] mosen6: is there a reason you don't just do a clean install? I foresee this taking more than 20 minutes to troubleshoot [10:57] madjoe, you probably only need your home directory and maybe a little more. [10:57] Severian: Right, I like a good backup then a fresh install, personal preference I guess. [10:57] jrib: I don't want to lose my data [10:57] Severian: yeah, I have lots of stuff in /var/www/ the apache2 and stuff... I changed some system fonts, and some less important things [10:57] mosen6: you don't have /home on a separate partition? You can get at your data with a live cd [10:58] I need to make changes to inetd.conf, but can't find it in /etc ... is there something I need to install first? [10:58] jrib: no, eveything is on the same partition .. and I don't have a working CD-Rom [10:58] mosen6: no drive you can connect by usb? [10:58] Hi, I'm trying to run a script that will alert me whenever someone logs into my server via ssh .. I understand rc.local is only for local login & not remote ssh? [10:59] Just to clarify, someone logs in via ssh .. I get an alert ... [10:59] elyob: is it? I thought /etc/rc.local was just something that got run at boot [10:59] madjoe, some of that stuff changes between releases and you are better off just reapplying the changes. I depends on what it is. I think the /var/www should be ok. Apache did not change much between these releases, I think. [10:59] Severian: oh, another question... since I have a dual boot now, 1) Win XP on C: and 2) Ubuntu Karmic on D:, can I format C: and install Ubuntu Lucid instead of Win XP? Will my Karmic still work with wubi? I guess not... [10:59] jrib: afraid not .. can't I just use a USB Flash memory as a Live Disk? [10:59] time to try to see if ubuntu 10 x64, since ubuntu 9 has utterly failed [10:59] so if I ssh user@192.168.1.1 it runs a script .. [11:00] hi [11:00] madjoe, So, Windows would be gone from the machine now. Wubi is a windows program that boots a windows file as a linux filesystem. It needs Windows. [11:00] where have ther deices in /media gone and how do i mount them?? [11:00] mosen6: oh the issue was just that you didn't actually have a live cd? Well you don't even need the live cd, it would just be nicer with the gui. You can use the prompt you are at now to backup your data to usb flash memory. You should do this anyway if you don't already have backups and want to continue trying to troubleshoot instead of doing a clean install [11:00] Severian: that's what I thought... thanks [11:01] I want to install both, kde and gnome on lynx but I recall that on older version this means a mess on the program menu.. there is an evolution for lynx? [11:01] is there any way i could be having issues with ubuntu 9 cause of hardware? [11:01] anyone using an 802.11n USB adapter in ubuntu? [11:01] Anyone know if there is an irc channel for Autokeys? :) [11:01] trying to find a model that ctually works [11:01] madjoe, Your current problem is why I almost always try to talk people out of using wubi. [11:01] Koiyuki: I'm sure there's a way... Do you have a more specific concern? [11:02] as ive said, ive been trying to use wubi to install ubuntu 9 twice, and both attempts have failed. [11:02] jrib: I know but then how would I install ubuntu without a drive? [11:02] jrib: yes, I think that's correct .. at the moment it looks like I need to alter each bash profile ... [11:02] But I want to do "all users" [11:02] Severian: that was my first use of Linux, and I needed a test drive [11:02] Emry: Keyboard Layouts? [11:02] Does anyone know of a macro program that supports delays? :) [11:02] Vigo, Macros. [11:02] mosen6: you can use another usb flash memory if you have it, but you'll have to create it. Or visit a friend with a cd burner [11:03] autokey not autokeys. ^^ I mistyped it. :) [11:03] elyob: well you can just edit the system-wide one.... There's probably some better way to achieve what you want, but I don't know it [11:03] jrib: you don't understand .. the machine with the problem doesn't have a working CD drive .. I can't use a LiveCD for that reason. [11:04] anyone using an 802.11n USB adapter in ubuntu? having trouble finding a model that actually works [11:04] Emry: I use Main Menu, gconf or Keyboard Layout , depending on what I am doing. Oh,,,ok [11:04] alexs: www.linuxwireless.org [11:04] mosen6: ah ok. You can install using usb flash memory, yes. But you need to create it on some other working system [11:04] why ctrl + p doesnt work in terminal? whats the shortcut to paste etc? [11:04] jrib: OK thank you for your help [11:04] all these issues just make me wanna throw my damn computer. [11:05] Vigo, I want to be able to hit ctrl+d and tell my Dwarf Fortress game to designate a whole for digging down about ten levels. :) [11:05] jrib: looks like I may have to edit a skeleton ... just checked, and yes the bashrc file does what I want .. [11:05] Severian: after 5 months of use, now it became my primary OS, so I would like to stick with it... I don't mind doing the setup all again with the fresh install of Lucid, as long as my old data are saved... I played with Karmic and probably made a lot of crap and unnecessary installations, but with Lucid I'll know exactly what to do and how to do it.. I think. :) [11:05] uLinux_, I use Shift+Insert [11:05] what is the package to upgrade a server from 9.10 to 10.4 ? [11:05] how do i mount a cdrom drive in lucid? [11:05] (Shift + Insert) paste [11:05] Severian ye man it works :) [11:05] and to copy? [11:05] uLinux_, Ctrl+Insert [11:06] maddog_, good luck. It sounds like you are learning, as are we all. [11:06] (Ctrl + Insert) Copy [11:06] elyob: I don't see the point in editing everyone's ~/.bashrc instead of using /etc/bash.bashrc or whatever. bashrc isn't even the right file to be using for ssh logins in any case. Do you want it to be an optional thing for user's because users can just edit their ~/.bashrc but not the one in /etc [11:06] Emry: Sweet! Looking now, I made a macro in 6 and 8 that was for Scorched Earth, let me see if I can find those log files. [11:07] now just want to know how to select :P [11:07] uLinux_, SHIFT-CTRL-X/C/V is alos an option [11:07] in winblows was shift+arow [11:07] Severian: looks like i got the install finishd... what a PITA it is with these fake raid controlers [11:07] Hold shift then left arrow to select... [11:07] newbie here. just wanna ask.. when i install a program using apt-get .. where can i find the installed program? [11:07] Or just use your mouse to select it [11:07] michelle__, Glad to hear it. I am glad about the first part, not the second. [11:07] dfcnvt that doesnt work.. mouse works but :x [11:08] I thought 10.04 LTS included python2.6? [11:08] apt-cache search filename [11:08] uLinux_: honestly, I find it superior to use your mouse to select and middle click to paste (you can use shift-insert if you want to paste using the keyboard) [11:08] chrisw1: it does [11:08] ye jrib [11:08] hooray! every time i boot ubuntu 10 from wubi so it can finish installation, it crashes! w00t! go ubuntu go! [11:08] uLinux_, I use Ctrl_Insert and Shift+Insert on Windows and the Mac. It used to be the universal choice, but a few programs don't like it. [11:09] Emry: Maybe here:> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-299524.html [11:09] shift+insert ctrl+insert and select with mouse because i cant do it with keyboard :p [11:09] shift+insert ctrl+insert and select with mouse because i cant do it with keyboard :p [11:09] Severian: you don't even need to press anything to copy, just selecting it is sufficient [11:09] oops [11:09] jrib: hmm, I think my poor dev machine is very confused, it thinks its LTS 10.04 but has a *load* of kept-back packages... [11:09] chrisw1, It does. [11:09] mataks: under applications on your menu [11:09] (including python) [11:09] chrisw1: how did you upgrade? [11:09] aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade [11:10] Vigo, Thanks. :) I found that one, but it seems to be almost the opposite of what I am looking for. :) [11:10] chrisw1: that doesn't actually upgrade releases. I assume you also edited sources.list. However, this is no longer the recommended way to upgrade between releases in ubuntu [11:10] justme`, where? just like now i installed MAME.. an arcade emulator for games.. but i can't see where it is [11:10] so, ubuntu 10 wont install. lovely. [11:10] I didn't want to upgrade :-/ [11:10] Emry: xnee? [11:10] HI every one, I did a Lucid upgrade when the rc was released and now I don't even have the direct rendering (it tells me "no", not segfault"), i've tried many things, and if anyone has a magical solution (except for clean install), I'm all yours! (on this chan:D) [11:11] any way I can do back? [11:11] chrisw1: did you edit sources.list? [11:11] Vigo, Autokey seems to do what I want, but seems buggy and prone to skip keys... or it is feeding it too quickly to the program and the program is missing it. [11:11] Koiyuki: sorry, but wubi is a weak spot in the Ubuntu armory.... [11:11] (to 8.04) [11:11] feel free to /query me [11:11] jrib: perfect .. /etc one was the one I wanted .. I just want to know when people are logging onto my servers ... and a nice prowl command is it ... :) [11:11] Vigo, I will look up xnee :P [11:11] mataks: look under Games or "Emulation" if it exists [11:11] can somebody PLEASE tell me how to mount a freakin cdrom in lucid? [11:11] elyob: I have a feeling there is a better way. For example, people can still change their default shell [11:11] jrib: hmm, I can't actualyl remember, I think I thought about upgrading, bailed on aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade, ran the recommended upgrade script but then bailed with nerves half way throough [11:11] remoteCTRL: put it in your drive, done [11:11] remoteCTRL: try mount /dev/hda [11:11] recommendations how to get back to 8.04? [11:12] justme`, nope.. no Emulation and it's not on games [11:12] chrisw1: yeah, that will give you a broken system... no supported way to downgrade. You should probably just finish the upgrade [11:12] jrib: if it was that easy i wouldnt have to ask... justme` that would be mounting the first hadd if it is a ide drive then... [11:12] chrisw1 You probably just need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and then run the upgrade again. [11:12] time to try installing 9.10 x64 via wubi one last time. if this doesnt work, im saying screw it, and going with another distro [11:12] remoteCTRL: it is that easy. Something is not working correctly if it is not. [11:13] what should I put in place of lucid to get 8.04LTS? [11:13] Koiyuki: dont use wubi, use a real installation [11:13] chrisw1: reinstall if you want to downgrade [11:13] !dualboot | Koiyuki [11:13] Koiyuki: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [11:13] chrisw1, reinstall from the cd. I think that is it, unless you have a good backup. [11:13] jrib: that i can see dude, which is why i want to mount it manually as this is actually not so rare that this occurs it would be interesting to know HOW TO [11:13] * chrisw1 probably does [11:13] Emry: Sorry, looks like xnee is still Multimedia, I am sure it can be hacked. [11:14] i can't compile ieee80211, it gives me errors, i installed build-essential [11:14] i dont need that. im installing via wubi. its not using 2 partitions. and ive had lots of damn issues [11:14] mataks: been a while since i used GNOME but try ALT+F1 to bring up run and enter mame (or use a shell and enter mame to bring up the possibilities) quick and dirty but works, you may need to add the entry depending on the package installed === Galerien is now known as galunch [11:14] remoteCTRL: do you have an fstab entry related to your cdrom? [11:14] the first time i installed ubuntu 9, it installed fine, but when i rebooted and went to load ubuntu, grub was screwed, and wouldnt boot ubuntu [11:15] so i retried it, and the second time i tried to install it, ubuntu would hang, a lot [11:15] bbl :) Thanks for the input. [11:15] i would get tons and tons of messages with 120 sec timeouts [11:15] moin [11:15] justme`, ok i can open mame now by typing "mame" in terminal.. but i don't know where to load the rom file.. can't see the directory . .. [11:15] anyone? networkmanager on lucid refuses to enable wireless, even tho i just got a standard intel wifi that worked before the update to lucid [11:15] Emry: Xmacro maybe could: http://xmacro.sourceforge.net [11:16] jrib: sec opls i am just in the middle of rebooting but as i recall nope, i dont and as stated before there is no /media/cdrom /media/cdrom0 as there used to be but lucid nomally mounts cds directly to /media (discussable if thatr is clever but ok...) [11:16] mataks: read the docs related, last time i used mame i think i used "mame rom" - theres also front ends to mame, check sudo aptitude search mame [11:17] ronny, you may need the hardware drivers. What does System/Administration/Hardware Drivers tel you? [11:17] man mame should pull up what you need relating to the loading of files [11:17] justme`, where can i find the docs? [11:18] autocreate_split_windows [11:18] mataks, the man page. like he said, do man mame [11:18] oops [11:18] mataks: man mame can pull up some info, quick google on mame, mame tips mame guides etc should pull the rest you need [11:19] My volume control disappeared after upgrading to Lucid - anyone know why? [11:19] jenda: it's part of the indicator applet which you probably don't have in your panel? [11:19] hi,i want to know the verison of gcc installed on my system [11:19] mataks: if you hate non-GUI computing try searching the packages for a mame frontend using "mame" as keyword [11:19] !version | arunkumar413 [11:19] arunkumar413: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [11:19] arunkumar413: gcc --version [11:19] arunkumar413: easiest way. « gcc --version » [11:20] ok, i installed ubuntu 9 x64 through windows with wubi. i rebooted, and right now ubuntu is finishing up installation. then we will see if it will start hanging again after installation. [11:20] jrib: nope, it's gone from the indicator applet (networking, OO quicklauch and azureus still appear in it) [11:20] There is no such thing as Ubuntu 9. [11:20] jrib: also, sound doesn't work :) [11:20] Severian: nothing at all, its a standard intel wifi that worked fine before i upgraded - the laptop doesnt need any prop drivers [11:21] erUSUL:the version is 4.3.3 but the documentaion for this version is not avaible at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/ [11:21] jenda: well that's probably /why/! Umm, are you logging in through gdm? [11:21] sure there is. [11:21] cause i said so. [11:21] justme`, ok thank i just downloaded the graphical mame.. thnx. [11:21] i'm looking for a book that could introduce me to the inner workings of linux/ubuntu. CLI stuff, networking etc... can someone point me in right direction please [11:21] im frustrated and pissed off. im not gonna start putting revision #s in every little message i post [11:21] arunkumar413: 4.3.4 manuals shoud apply [11:22] jrib: yes, I am === ezra is now known as Guest60257 [11:22] need help with grub restore please [11:22] jrib: or, I think so - I'm logging in with the default, graphical setup. [11:22] ronny, Some intel chip do need drivers, but that program should have found them, if so. So, you are probably right. Sorry, I don't do hardly any wireless. [11:22] !grub2 | raven [11:22] raven: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:23] erUSUL:for 4.3.4 also there are 7 or 8 documentatin,which one to download. [11:23] jenda: don't know then. I came across an issue where if I didn't use gdm, then policykit/devicekit/whateverotherelsekit wasn't giving me access to the sound devices. I worked around it by just adding myself to the audio group, but you probably want to figure out if it's some sort of PolicyKit issue (which I know nothing about) [11:23] baba_b00ie, NerdBooks [11:23] jrib: ok, thank [11:23] s [11:23] I'll try rebooting first :) [11:24] Severian: its a rather unexpected breakage, the card just worked fine with whatever kernel i did use, no need for extra drivers [11:24] bbl [11:24] huh, empathy nearly crashes when joining this room. GREAT CHOICE of default software guys... [11:25] richthegeek: use ERC then [11:25] richthegeek, thanks === xyz is now known as hellyeah [11:25] arunkumar413: the one for the language you want to program in ? [11:25] richthegeek: pidgin is good [11:25] anyway, I have a dual monitor setup and I'd like to have a window span both monitors (OO spreadsheet) but it's limiting itself to the one window when I try drag resize.. anyway to force it? [11:25] installing ubuntu 9 x64 via wubi. installation just finished, and it is rebooting. lets see if it hangs. looks like it rebooted ok. lets see if ubuntu loads correctly without hanging [11:25] I think it is hard to beat xchat. [11:26] ubuntu [11:26] Galerian: used to, since 7.04, trying to use the notify stuff though before I start complaining about the useless new stuff in 10.04/10.10 too much [11:26] Severian: i prefer ERC to xchat myself [11:27] Severian, justme: I really don't go on IRC enough to bother with distinct program... #ubuntu is basically the only one I visit [11:27] ubuntu 9 x64 is loading. getting messages "cannot set freq 4100 to ep 0x1". now to see if it hangs like it did before. [11:27] so far it looks like its going to boot. [11:27] richthegeek: if you use Emacs daily ERC is handy as it runs inside it, M-x erc and your here, saves screen space really [11:28] richthegeek, Configuring multi-monitor you have the choice "Separate X-screen" which makes all monitors separate (no draging). When Xinerama is enabled, you can drag windows around over multiple screen. Also there's a vendor solution like Twinview if you have an nvidia videocard. [11:28] justme: I don't, I prefer gedit (please don't start a text editor war!) so its not gonna help [11:29] ahh, I see. irc inside of emacs. Some people never want to leave emacs. I could not wait to get out. [11:29] Mouzz: I am using Twinview - I can drag between windows and have windows spanning both without issue, just that the window resize code seems to limit to screen rather than display size [11:29] omg, it worked. 4th times a charm. [11:29] though i dont know why the OS seems to be running so damn slow. [11:29] richthegeek, Severian: i prefer Emacs to most, but i wont start an editor war, i like the fact that theres a choice [11:29] Mouzz: which is an understandable choice as the "maximise" code would fail if it didn't - just that it'd be nice to have some sort of override for when you *want* a massive window [11:30] justme`, choice is good. We'll agree on that. [11:30] justme: I like gedit, its simple and very easy to pick up, and has the plugins I need... and Severian WE HAVE AGREED ON NOTHING *evil laugh* [11:30] richthegeek, Ah, ok. Never looked for anything like that. [11:31] for update my ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 ? [11:31] can anyone help me to use diff to get the contents of the third box in the following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff#Algorithm I mean the common content between two files ? [11:31] Severian, richthegeek: i use Xemacs when Emacs needs GTK, Emacs if i compile myself (no GTK) and vim for shells [11:32] jrib: problem I am now having is that the script it runs is owned by root .. getting a permission error ... [11:32] join [11:32] hi all [11:32] elyob: what script? [11:32] justme: I'm a pretty high-level dev - PHP, Javascript, HTML/CSS, with Java being about as complex as I get... so gedit is *perfect* [11:32] I have a script that I am trying to run ... it's a bespoke one [11:32] .sh [11:32] anybody knows if bug sa21450 has been fixed in ubuntu? [11:32] here it is http://secunia.com/advisories/21450/ [11:33] elyob: you have to provide more details :) [11:33] richthegeek: if its perfect for your work then its a good application and well worth its use [11:33] Where can i download a full version of kbuntu? [11:33] sgd: kubuntu.com [11:33] just for anyone interested - I "fixed" it by using Compiz's "Window Rules" to auto-size it to 3840x990 [11:33] jrib: I have a script that I have placed in /root/scripts/folder/file.sh owned by root:root [11:34] this is ubuntu installation is running slow as dirt [11:34] elyob: ok?

You should probably put the script somewhere else [11:35] I want a kubuntu without update language park [11:36] jrib: suggestions? How about just /scripts/ [11:36] Ah, I think the last \ shouldn't be there? === dad_ is now known as Guest8881 [11:36] I want a kubuntu without update language park [11:36] elyob: if you want. /usr/local/bin/ is the usual place probably [11:36] hello [11:36] hello everybody [11:36] anyone help me [11:37] hi [11:37] i hv ubuntu 10.04 [11:37] my system is Dell vostro 220 [11:37] !ask | Guest20882 [11:37] Guest20882: 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. :-) [11:37] my sound card is not working. [11:37] sgd, I don't think anyone understands what you want. [11:38] Serverian r u talking to me? [11:38] !intelhda | Guest20882 [11:38] Guest20882: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [11:39] 22 different files had to be downloaded just to intall adobe flash player plugin for firefox. thats insane [11:39] use a kubuntu without update language [11:39] how? [11:39] Kolyuki: I'm assuming there were a bunch of libraries and codecs outside of flash in that list? [11:39] yeah [11:39] Koiyuki, for me it needed only one [11:39] Koiyuki, are you using apt? [11:40] Kolyuki: theoretically, greater library fragmentation (and thus shared dependancies) is a good thing [11:40] no. i loaded firefox, went to youtube, and clicked install missing plugin. the plugin finder popped up, i picked adobe, and clicked install [11:41] Guest20882, no, I did not have much idea what your problem was. A use sgd, whose first language was probably not English was asking for help, and I was hoping he would try to rephrase it. === Guest60257 is now known as ezra-s [11:41] Is there a way to "undelete" a file that has just been deleted in ext4? [11:42] !recover | ezra-s [11:42] ezra-s: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [11:42] ezra-s: depends if you "moved to trash" or actually deleted [11:42] sgd, what do you mean without an update language. Do you want to do a fresh install and not an update? === xand is now known as xand_ [11:42] does Ubuntu use Debians apt pinning? === xand_ is now known as xand [11:42] justme`: yes [11:42] !pinning [11:42] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [11:42] richthegeek, it was removed with rm [11:43] i have no idea why this installation of ubuntu is running so damn slow. === Guest8881 is now known as rileyp [11:43] ezra-s, then see previous message from ubottu [11:43] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to break your system [11:43] Koiyuki: try looking at your .xsession-errors [11:43] erUSUL: thanks [11:43] Koiyuki: also, CPU and RAM usage [11:43] on it.. [11:43] "sgd, what do you mean without an update language. Do you want to do a fresh install and not an update?¡° Yes [11:43] alexs: only breaks if you dont know what your doing, can be useful if you do know what your doing though [11:44] justme`: that's a fairly large if in the context of the entire ubuntu depdendency tree ;) [11:44] "sgd, what do you mean without an update language. Do you want to do a fresh install and not an update?¡° Yes [11:44] oh, i dont think its an issue of cpu and ram. i got plent of that to go around [11:44] "sgd, what do you mean without an update language. Do you want to do a fresh install and not an update?¡° Yes [11:44] sgd, then download the install cd for kubuntu and boot it on the computer. [11:44] "sgd, what do you mean without an update language. Do you want to do a fresh install and not an update?¡° Yes [11:44] Koiyuki: yes, so do I - but sometimes broken daemons or similar can eat it all up [11:44] hi, today duing boot, the boot up sequence failed on a bunch of stuff (remembering udev-something and dm-# and my raid hdd cant be accessed ect), a reboot and i saw a few of those errors again but this time it booted normally, is there a way to check and fix these boot errors (been looking thru the logs trying to find the errors) [11:44] Koiyuki: What hardware (CPU, RAM, GPU), slow compared to what [11:45] Koiyuki: what exactly is slow - internet speed, graphics, boot time? [11:45] hello again [11:45] its just taking forever to set up these 22 items. it might have crashed or hung [11:45] compared to my windows 7 for example [11:45] i've lost all text-mode things like the tty terminals or whatever they're called - how do i get them back? [11:45] Koiyuki: just let me know what the resting CPU and RAM usage is (ie, 30 seconds after boot) [11:45] how can I protect my PC from port-8080-malware [11:45] Koiyuki: my boxes are about the same speed on the surface as w7 [11:45] its been stuck on processing triggers for man-db... after libgcc1 for several minutes now [11:45] how can I protect my PC from port-8080-malware? [11:46] surely, close that port [11:46] sgd, go to http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu and choose an appropriate method to get the CD. Personally, I prefer the alternate installer. [11:46] alexs: haha well i dont know much about ubuntu at this point, practically forgot it all [11:46] Koiyuki: that's usually a slow/failing harddrive ... how many packages do you have installed? [11:47] I'm getting a black screen instead of the login window and sometimes justa fter entering log in info when trying to switch user in Ubuntu 10.04. Why do I get this? Anyone having the same problem? [11:47] glubbdrubb: that might be an issue - 8080 is HTTP [11:47] ionno. it just downloaded 22 packages. my hard drive isnt slow, or old or anything. it has zero issues in win7 [11:47] its a relatively new 500gb sataII western digital [11:47] close inbound traffic, not outbound [11:48] Koiyuki: hmm, odd - I had a 500GB WD and it ran like efluent off a shovel [11:48] unless ofcourse you are running http on your box [11:48] i think it hung or crashed while installing these packages [11:48] Koiyuki: if it is still borked in about 5 minutes then it's probably a random hang and just reboot [11:48] its still sitting at processing triggers for man-db [11:48] its been there for like 5 mins [11:48] same package, libgcc1 [11:48] Koiyuki: and in that case, see if it does it again for a random package [11:48] Koiyuki: thats not slow, thats crashed ;-) [11:49] strangely over the last couple of days I have been receiving errors from update manager that the signing keys are not valid [11:49] does anyone know why this happens, please? [11:49] they were working before [11:49] they might have expired, hal === pseubodo1 is now known as pseubodot [11:49] i got plenty of hardware to go around though. core i7 860, 8gb DDR3 1800 [11:50] yup, that enough fo rme [11:50] hal, I saw that one time. I think they were updating the repository just as I checked. I waited 5 minutes and all was well. [11:50] umm hello [11:50] ok, i told ubuntu to reboot, and now i am getting more 120 sec timeouts [11:50] Koiyuki: yes, but if there is a zombie/daemon that is hogging it all, it doesn't matter how you got cos 100% is still too much [11:50] hello to all i have a nasyt problem. have a external usbdisk with a ext2 mounted. for some strange reason i get this error here "Stale NFS file handle" how can i fix it ? any solutions ? [11:50] Koiyuki: so the rest of ubuntu still works fine? Why are you thinking, _Ubuntu_ is slow? [11:50] ive been getting them all damn night, when trying to get ubuntu actually installed [11:50] I want to ask something.... My Ubuntu 10.04 failed to install 2 times... [11:50] What's the package to install allt he multimedia codecs again? [11:51] Koiyuki: probably gonna have to hard reboot [11:51] ... [11:51] Flynsarmy: ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:51] i just dont understand why i am getting so many damn timeouts [11:51] yes, that is the one I use [11:51] Severian: but i have had the error for a couple of days now [11:51] Koiyuki: are you using wlan? [11:51] * s4nji slaps Severian around a bit with a large trout [11:51] hmw, yea i've got that installed atm but still get 'failed to create stream: not supported' when running mp3s in totem [11:51] glubbdrubb: thank you. how can I determine when they expire? [11:52] i tried installing ubuntu 9 x64 4 times. it took that many times for it to actually install and boot [11:52] Koiyuki: are you using wlan? [11:52] xperia, remount the nfs and that usually fixes it. [11:52] no wlan. eternet [11:52] ethernet* [11:52] weird [11:52] hal, you will need to open them in a text editor or a gui app [11:52] look for a date [11:52] Severian: normally my partition is mounted automatic as ext2 [11:52] Flynsarmy: make sure, it isnt a broken mp3 file. Try the same file on another PC or try another mp3, you verified, is ok [11:52] ok, i hard reset, and i am logging back into ubuntu [11:53] glubbdrubb: do you know where they are stored, please? [11:53] i am wondering why it is mounted now as ntfs partition [11:53] hmw, works in VLC [11:53] Koiyuki: try installing a single package and see how it handles it [11:53] once i am in, what would you suggest i do to try to find any problems, and fix them [11:53] but okay will do that [11:53] Flynsarmy: i see. uhm... [11:53] Koiyuki: also check the *size* of your ~/.xsession-errors file [11:53] i am a total linux noob. if you want me to do this stuff, you gotta tell me how [11:54] Koiyuki: okay, firstly open a terminal [11:54] k, one moment [11:54] hal, it could be several things. Someone could be doing a man in the middle attack on you. Your key files are more likely corrupted. I saw that on a failing drive once. [11:54] hmw, woudl it be that i'm forwarding my pulseaudio to a diff pc and THAT is what totem doesn't support? [11:54] done [11:54] no rm joke for newbie.. alright guys? [11:54] Koiyuki: type "ls -al .xsession-errors", and tell me what the number between your username and the date is [11:54] Flynsarmy: That's over my head, but I wouldnt expect it to be a problem normally... [11:55] Flynsarmy: verify with a local copy of that file [11:55] dfcnvt: don't worry, rm jokes get banned here [11:55] just a reminder.... if you want to talk with someone specifically... remember to type the first 2 or 3 letters of their name...hit the Tab key to complete the name then type your message....this will alert them you are talking with them :) [11:55] 1 koiyuki koiyuki 2945 2010-05-20 06:53 .xsession-errors [11:55] Koiyuki: ok, that's not an issue then... [11:55] hal, do you have another ubuntu system that works? If so, oen up synaptic and look at the key signatures to see if they match. [11:55] i cant copy and paste cause im on ubuntu on my pc, on irc in windows on my netbook. so i have to type it all out by hand lol [11:56] Koiyuki: try installing a simple package (sudo apt-get vim) and see if it hangs again [11:56] dont i have to sudo apt-get install vim? [11:56] Koiyuki, to copy and paste to or from irc to terminal ...highlight somethings here then simply middle click where you want to paste it [11:57] coz_ I think he menas he is talking on a different machine as he is executing the commands on [11:57] i know that coz. but i cant do that. as i said, ubuntu is running on my pc. i am on irc in windows on my netbook [11:57] two different computers [11:57] Koiyuki: yes, install "vim" and see if it works [11:57] Or right click then copy.. n paste when moving here.. [11:57] richthegeek, ah that is different :) [11:57] How do I find out my local IP address? :) [11:57] its downloading vim === amee2k is now known as amee3k [11:57] Emry: you mean your internal network IP or the global IP of your router [11:58] Emry, http://www.whatismyip.com/ [11:58] Koiyuki: let me know if it works properly [11:58] ok, its installed [11:58] he wants his private ip address === amee3k is now known as amee2k [11:58] Koiyuki: no issues with man-db or anything? [11:58] nope, went though it just fine [11:58] Emry, ifconfig [11:59] can anyone recommend an Ubuntu system that can rnu happily on 256megs of RAM? [11:59] richthegeek, internal Network IP. I want to be able to ssh from one comp to the other. ^_^ [11:59] oh, how do i bring up the lil dialog to install restricted drivers? [11:59] justme`: maybe xubuntu? [11:59] Severian, Thanks [11:59] Emry, go to system/preferences/remote desktop [11:59] i clicked on it while i was trying that updated (that crashed) and now its disappeared. [11:59] bobo123: human-icon-theme [11:59] Koiyuki: system → admin » hardware drivers [11:59] justme`, I do regular Ubuntu on 256 meg ram, but I prefer Lubuntu.

[12:00] jrib: tried that although its still slightly heavy on it [12:00] brontosaurusrexw: stick to the Norwegian? channels, perhaps? [12:00] justme`: use lighter apps, or just buy some ram (it isn't that expensive nowadays) [12:00] Hey, I accidently closed ubuntu software update manager, how do i bring it up again? [12:00] ok, lets see if it will successfully download, and install the drivers for my ati cards [12:00] jrib: im completely skint :) [12:00] Durf: System->Admin->Update Manager [12:00] The old RAM can be quite expensive [12:01] jrib, some of my computers can't take more than 256 meg of ram. [12:01] be back in a moment [12:01] justme`: use fluxbox and lighter apps, should be okay [12:01] richthegeek thank you :D [12:01] Severian: that's certainly true [12:01] glubbdrubb, pc133 memory is pretty cheap. Do you need older ram than that? [12:01] i saw lubuntu on distrowatch, not sure what to make of it tbh [12:01] Severian: I got asked in a store the other day when buying an old copy of "Freelancer" if I was sure my computer could run it - I laughed in the guys face at the time, but now it seems there actually *are* computers that rubbish that still run... [12:02] or even puppy linux [12:02] does lubuntu use GTK? [12:02] no, it uses lightbox [12:02] coz_, Severian, Thanks! [12:03] no GTK, this sounds promising :D [12:03] justme, glubbdrubb, and others: do you know of any ultra-light Gnome-based distros then? [12:03] ok, back. its still downloading, since i am on slow dsl [12:03] justme, glubbdrubb: as light as Gnome can be, ofcourse [12:03] justme`, try it. I first tried lxde on knoppix and it is a nice desktop. I have not installed the official lubuntu cd yet, but I have installed ubuntu server and added the lubuntu-desktop. It works fine for me, but you need to try it for yourself. [12:03] I'm having problems installing gnome-terminal on lucid: http://pastie.org/969172 [12:03] Hi, can someone help me, I can't install any new programs. I get this msg: The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software. [12:03] Koiyuki: it should have cached the packages, but anyway - let me know if it hangs again [12:03] justme`, yes, lxde is based on gtk. Is that good or bad? [12:04] Sound problem apparently resolved. Now on to Flash. [12:04] bloopletech: wait, isn't gnome-terminal installed and available by default?? [12:04] you want me to do what i did before? exactly how i did it? go to firefox, go to youtube, click installing missing plugin, and see if it requires the 22 packages? [12:04] jenda: what was the issue? [12:04] Can anyone play this video? (It's Czech news, nothing interesting) http://video.idnes.cz/webtv.asp?c=A100512_202135_domaci_kop&idvideo=V100512_170220_tv-zpravy_sha&r=webtv&strana=1 [12:04] Severian: i "dislike" GTK and QT, i prefer Motif to them [12:04] one moment, gonna restart the computer so the new drivers are active [12:04] Koiyuki: no, try just installing the "flashplugin-installer" package [12:04] richthegeek, yeah, I uninstalled it when I was on karmic in favour of xfce4-terminal because of broken ctrl+c behaviour in latest gnome terminal [12:04] light wait gname: light slabs of lead [12:04] jrib: I have no idea, but it was a common bug fixed (mostly) by muting and unmuting in pulseaudio volume manager [12:05] via apt-get? [12:05] gname=gnome [12:05] s/manager/control/ [12:05] jenda: video wfm [12:05] Hoping the version in lucid fixes that + I need infinite scrollback [12:05] Is there a program to view remote desktops without logging out and relogging? :) [12:05] jenda: yes I can - creepy guy talking at me and writing on a pad for no apparent reason! [12:05] Emry: rdesktop? [12:05] justme`, I think you should try enlightenment. [12:05] richthegeek: yeah, meet our likely next president :) [12:06] richthegeek, Thanks. ^_^ I will look into that. [12:06] Severian: too fancy for me :) [12:06] jenda: wow, crazy - I'm British so I already know the joys of new leaders... === kasun is now known as Guest53093 [12:06] "E: Package gnome-terminal has no installation candidate" is a very odd error to have, no? [12:06] wtf, ubuntu is starting up, and int he lower right hand corner, i see the ati logo, and it says "unsupported hardware" [12:06] Emry: it's a terminal based RDP viewer, but works great for me [12:06] The video doesn't play for me, and I think I have all the flash plugins installed. [12:06] Emry, vncviewer and the built in vnc server which just has to be enabled are pretty good. [12:06] jenda: you only need adobe's [12:06] Koiyuki, do you have a really recent ati card? [12:06] can someone here please help me -- OpenOffice.org database isn't opening [12:06] (in other words, I installed just about every flash package out there) [12:06] yes. 2x ati 5770 [12:06] jrib: I have that one too. [12:07] jenda: probably a bad plan, they tend to conflict [12:07] jenda: right, but if you install more, something else is probably getting used instead of adobe's [12:07] Koiyuki, try the latest catalyst drivers off of the ati site [12:07] jenda: are you on 32 or 64? [12:07] Should be catalyst 10.4 [12:07] justme`, I still think it is funny when I see enlightenment described as a lightweight desktop. I remember when it was the big one with all the bells and whistles. [12:07] richthegeek: 32 [12:07] what was the package name rich? flashplugin-installer? [12:07] If after a reboot it still occurs, there's a binary patch you need to run to remove the unsupported hardware watermark [12:07] jenda: right, then remove every flash package you installed and install flashplugin-installer [12:07] richthegeek: ok, Ill remove them, except adobe's [12:08] Koiyuki: yes [12:08] jenda: do a complete remove and then reinstall flashplugin-installer just to make sure [12:08] Severian: if i had my choice id run CDE :) [12:08] well im off to eat, thanks for the help :) [12:08] hi - how do I install java web start on lucid? I can't see it pacakged [12:08] ok, installed successfully [12:08] justme`, that sends shivers up my spine. CDE, ughh. [12:08] richthegeek: should I remove restricted-extras, too? [12:08] justme: no problem... but in future, keeps a bag of cookies/crisps near your desk! [12:09] Koiyuki: try run a video on youtube or iPlayer [12:09] jenda: no [12:09] doing that right now [12:09] working fine. sound too [12:09] Koiyuki: fracking A, any other issues? === sick0 is now known as Guest75571 [12:10] dunno yet. we will see. gonna download the driver from ati [12:10] Koiyuki: what card are you running? [12:10] 2x ati 5770 [12:10] y'all have fun. good night. [12:10] Koiyuki: might be issues there, not 100% sure - a mate is running a 4870 fine but there might be specific card issues [12:11] webstart worked fine on karmic :( [12:11] i see catalyst 10.3 for 64bit linux [12:11] it seems to be completely absent for me on lucid [12:11] Koiyuki, see also this thread for the watermark issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1422762 [12:11] no, it might be 10.4 [12:11] Koiyuki, they hide the link I'll try to find a direct one [12:11] richthegeek: no change :( [12:11] it says "ati catalyst 10.3 proprietary linux x86 driver" but under revision number it says 10.4 [12:11] richthegeek: the video I linked to shows blank and gives a link to install adobe flashplugin [12:11] jenda: check Firefox's plugins list [12:12] jenda: Install adobe-flashplugin from canonical partner? [12:12] Koiyuki, if the filename has 10-4 in it it's probably the right one [12:12] ok, since i am downloading this new ati driver, i assume i will have to uninstall the current ati driver? [12:12] Not sure if they updated the supported hardware list in 10.4, but probably better to upgrade anyway [12:12] hmm I think so [12:13] how would i do that? [12:13] I think [12:13] OOPS [12:13] How did you install 10.3? [12:13] bloopletech: yes, they definitely did - my mates 4870 caused major breakage in 9.10! [12:13] is web start not supported at all on lucid? [12:13] From apt-get or the ati.com site? [12:13] is it possible to upload something to my Ubuntu One cloud and send someone a link to that file to share it with them? [12:14] i dont know what driver it is right now. i went to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. it listed an ati driver. i clicked activate. it downloaded it and installed, and then i rebooted [12:14] ah that's through apt-get ; one sec [12:14] Koiyuki: assuming you chose the "current" or highest-numbered one, it should be as good as it gets [12:14] richthegeek: adobe doesn't show in there. Do I haveto run the installer somehow? [12:14] Question: can you upgrade desktop ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 lts same as server version, eg. ssh and sudo do-release-upgrade? [12:15] jenda: no - try doing a removal of flashplugin-installer, and then install it [12:15] jenda: kill firefox whilst doing this [12:15] richthegeek: it wasn't installed before, and I just installed it. [12:15] i went to system-admin-hardware drivers, and it says ati/amd proprietary fglrx graphics driver, and there is a Remove button at the bottom. remove it? [12:15] jenda: right - it should be working then... I assume oyu have rebooted firefox? [12:15] hi :) is there any method to sort shortcuts on panels by my own? (now ubuntu sorts it automaticly) [12:15] Grimdin: yes, but I'd probably start the upgrade in screen in case my ssh connection gets dropped [12:15] Koiyuki, ah yeah that would prbly fix it :) [12:16] richthegeek: yep [12:16] Hi everybody. Does anybody know if there's a way to change the default scrobbling server adress for RB LastFM plugin? I can't scrobble a thing since I returned to 8.04 and the "Check server status" button brings the #404 error [12:16] Koiyuki, reboot after that, and Ubuntu should crap its pants - select 'run in low graphics mode just for this session', then install the 10.4 drivers and reboot [12:16] richthegeek :rying again, in a bit.... [12:16] I did this a couple of weeks ago for my mobility radeon hd [12:16] ok, the driver package is still downloading [12:17] once its downloaded,w here should i move the driver package to? [12:17] Koiyuki: you need to install it using the instructions in the readme - should be a case of just "./configure && make && make install" [12:18] Koiyuki, after you've rebooted, open a terminal, then cd into the directory and just run the binary directly [12:18] Koiyuki: unless of course ATI are nice and you are downloading a .deb [12:18] richthegeek: I have shockwave flash 9 in the plugin list, but that's not the right one, is it? [12:18] it's not distributed as source code, it's an executable file [12:18] jenda: no it is not [12:18] Hello. Is there a way to make Ubuntu recognize the connected keyboard once there is a keyboard-model set? [12:18] jenda: are you sure flashplugin-installer is installed? [12:18] it looks to be a .run file [12:18] e.g. cd ~/Downloads; ./ati*.run [12:19] I don't know what is the matter with Pidgin and Nautilus, but sometimes they take up more than 140 MB Memory. Most of the time they don't, but when they do, what is the way to reduce their memory consumption? [12:19] ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run [12:19] richthegeek: yes, it is. [12:19] Koiyuki: as bloopletech says - might need to mark as exectuable in the permissions [12:19] richthegeek, ++ [12:19] jenda: ok just checking! Flash is such a PITA to install :( [12:19] remember guys, i know nothing about linux ;) [12:19] richthegeek: indeed :( [12:19] first it needs to download first though [12:19] Koiyuki: ok, type "chmod +x ati*run" [12:20] richthegeek: how about installing adobe-flashplugin instead? [12:20] * jpds points at the adobe-flashplugin package. [12:20] bout 1 minute remaining according to firefox [12:20] Koiyuki: in the right folder, of course [12:20] jenda: give it a go [12:20] !fash [12:20] !flash [12:20] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:21] wild_bat: awesome [12:21] ok, it is downloaded. lemme try that [12:21] richthegeek: still not in there. Perhaps I have two different copies of Firefox installed? [12:21] ok, i did that. the file is now green when i ls-la [12:21] richthegeek, ? [12:21] richthegeek: this is a rather old install and there might be things hidden in it I have no clue about ;) [12:21] ok, gimme a moment to restart the system [12:21] Koiyuki, wat [12:21] *wait [12:22] YOu've removed the existing driver right? [12:22] yes [12:22] hence the reboot [12:22] Remember that ubuntu might chuck a spazz on reboot - selec use low graphics mode [12:22] Is there a program for ubuntu similar to xrebind? ^-^ [12:22] on the list of options it prsesents [12:22] if it works fine, ignore that bit of advice [12:22] so far, so good. [12:23] no spazzing yet [12:23] In the meantime, I still can't install gnome-terminal [12:23] I've run sudo apt-get update and it still won't install [12:23] ok, i have a terminal up, i am in my Downloads directory with the file id ownloaded. now what? [12:23] bloopletech: any chance you could just reinstall the system? [12:24] Koiyuki: type "./ati" then press tab [12:24] Koiyuki: the right filename should pop in, so hit enter [12:24] had to do it with sudo [12:24] richthegeek, what you mean my whole OS install???? [12:24] ah yeah [12:24] you do need to do that === OerHeks is now known as Oer [12:25] bloopletech: just an idea...probably just cos of the way I have mine all setup that its not a big deal for me [12:25] richthegeek, nah I'll work it out some other way [12:25] ok, it says it installed. reboot again? [12:25] Koiyuki, yeah [12:25] Hello I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid, and neither Ambiance nor Dust themes are usable, and selecting themes in gnome-appearance makes X to look up. Any ideas how to fix that? [12:26] richthegeek: no, nevermind, I do not have two firefoxes installed. [12:26] (I used 'whereis firefox', and there's only one) [12:26] ok, no ati logo with "unsupoorted hardware" so far [12:27] ok, so far, ubuntu seems to be much more snappy [12:27] booting up a lot faster [12:27] sorry guys I gotta do some work, might be back later but i gotta concentrate for a ltitle while [12:27] richthegeek: ok, thanks :) [12:28] Koiyuki, try opening a terminal and running 'fglrxinfo' [12:28] before you go rich, what is the name of the package that has all the extra codecs and stuff for multimedia that doesnt come with stock ubuntu? [12:28] again: network-manager in lucid refuses to let me enable the wireless (its greyed out) - why?! [12:28] See if it says a bunch of stuff about ATI [12:28] Koiyuki, ubuntu-restricted-extras [12:28] ty [12:28] opengl vendor ati tech [12:29] opengl render string ati radeon hd 5700 series [12:29] open gl version string 3.2.9756 compatibility profile context [12:29] Koiyuki, looks like it's working [12:29] hi, yahoo has Yahoo BOSS API. does google have similar API framework?

There is a plugin for that, namely Current Song. But it does not work, :( What to do? [12:37] Koiyuki, normal or extra is what you want [12:37] i selected extra, but nothing changed [12:37] sorry. i am looking for client side GUI [12:38] rocket16: submit it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com [12:38] Koiyuki, did you click apply or ok or whatever?

Id recommend the bios route though, fancontrol isnt very user friendly [14:43] if you have time! [14:44] hello [14:44] bonjour, [14:44] seanj: download/convert/play the videos perhaps..

[14:52] phlak_user: that is exactly what i did [14:52] c0ins: that is rather low end. thats a Pent I class? or pent III class? IVe ran ubuntu on a Pent3 1.6 ghz laptop. it ran ok. [14:52] phlak_user: is that wrong? [14:52] g8tor: nope thats perfectly right [14:52] zetheroo: the cpu temp isn't representative of the overall temp internally, your heatsink could just be doing a really good job [14:52] dr willis: it is old, that is why im thinking the net book is the best [14:53] where do I locate the vhost file ? [14:53] g8tor: just run ssh -vv user@host; it will give you some more info [14:53] c0ins, the difference with an atom is not that big , heh. anyway the processor is fast enough but memory will slow you down [14:53] c0ins: i doubt if it will matter much.

[14:57] Dr-Willis: No [14:57] Dr_Willis: No [14:57] zetheroo: huge lag, especially during rendering (e.g web pages, high res images, flash use) [14:57] but how did I disconnect you [14:57] Krishnandu: you could also just try a 'startx' command and look for errors. [14:57] Dr_Willis: See the screenshot of the problem I posted [14:57] martinst: ISO's worked well for me using the USB startup disk creator [14:57] mrsun: no jumplists are win7 only, as for thumbnails i'm not sure most panels support that [14:58] Dr_Willis: I used startx yesterday and it started initializing kde, and then nothing came, blank screen [14:58] phlak_user: for some reason the second to last line says "we did not send a packet, disable method" then it says "Next authentication method: password" [14:58] hey everyone... thunderbird segfaults when I run it... web is no help... anyone here have any ideas?

Otherwise you could correct perms and owner if something doesn't work [15:50] Mouzz: if I leave off the trailing / in source, it means copy that dir? [15:50] phillyj: well that refers to 2 dirs up. what do you want to *do* with it though? [15:50] phillyj: if you want to change directory to it, type "cd ../../" [15:51] Hi can anyone help me? > I installed lucid with wubi and when I tried to migrate it broke windows now I cant boot into ubuntu or windows to use lvpm [15:51] phillyj: if you want to open all jpg images two dirs up, "eog ../../*.jpg" [15:51] JuJuBee, yes [15:51] maco: i need to run a file such that "../../lmp_ubuntu < in.crack" where lmp_ubuntu runs the program and in.crack is the file [15:52] guys ... which terminals is good to chk for usb port status? === ioi2010 is now known as abal9002 [15:52] phillyj: and lmp_ubuntu is in your current dir and lmp_ubuntu is 2 back? yep thatll work fine [15:52] how to change the desktop background in a live cd generated by remastersys? [15:52] oliveraarango, type lsusb [15:52] phillyj, do you mean it means to tracerse UPWARDS in the directory structure two directories in direction of / (root) [15:52] Mouzz: thanks. scp'd to server, now to move to live tree should I just mv the folder? file perms are set correctly [15:52] good morning everyone [15:52] hi linuxmonster [15:53] not a teriribly good day [15:53] @mouzz ... type where? [15:53] good morning [15:53] hi there... i have a little problem installing ubuntu on my PC: the installation programm can't find the partition i want it to be installed on... [15:53] phillyj, from the local position I'd rather use ./../../ which is (more) exact. ./ mens "current directory" [15:54] Remowylliams, Well I just woke up, so its good so far, but I am sure something will happen to change that lol [15:54] abuayyoub, multiboot is bad. :-) [15:54] nicofs, external drive or is it a funky RAID setup someone last night was having a issue because of those reasons [15:55] no raid, no external hdd. internal 3,5" SATA [15:55] oliveraarango, "xfce4-terminal" is a good terminal. When using ubuntu I'd stick with the gnome-terminal however. xterm is a more generic one. [15:55] Aquina, hi lol I should have known I would not want to use windows 7 any longer but ya know. Anyhow. now I have a root.disk file and a swap.disk file is there a way to restore these? [15:55] Aquina: still can get it to work; i'm in the src folder where the lmp_ubuntu is located but the in.crack is in another folder 1up src folder [15:55] cant* [15:55] oliveraarango, in a terminal. If you are in gnome (with windows etc) try Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [15:56] my guess is, that it's related to the primary/logic partition issue... but sadly, im no expert... [15:56] abal9002, when remastering chose the create fs-option, then put the image where appropriate (somewhere in /usr/share/) and later start remastersys again to choose the create iso option. [15:57] abuayyoub, I think you'd rater check /boot/ in your linux installation and the file menu.lst [15:57] hi [15:58] nicofs, what's your exact problem? [15:58] is there any good stand-alone (optional: internet) Texas Hold'em poker for Karmic? [15:58] Aquina, i dont have a linux install. All I have is a broken windows 7 install and a root.disk and swap.disk file made by wubi. [15:58] 有人么？ [15:58] i need help to install HP Scanjet 5100c in xubuntu 10.04.

[15:59] yes you can play against computer opponents. It's very fun [15:59] If the windows 7 install is broken you may as well just format the whole drive and just run linux unless you have some important files on there [15:59] mguy: thanks man! [15:59] aquina: the installation menu (expert mode) does not list my partitions... i can't install to the partition i prepared in windows (7), because it's not there... [16:00] abuayyoub, reinstallation of Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 is what I reccomend you. It's easier to recreate GRUB. [16:00] Soyo's statement is also a good one! :-) [16:00] nicofs, on my dual boot machine i never prepared a partion a head of time. I just went through the install and let the installer resize the drive for what it figured it would need. I adjusted it to say it could use 250gbs [16:01] ;) [16:01] nicofs, only thing with windows and linux together is to make sure you ont shrink the win 7 partition too much as that would cripple its page/swap file space and hamper your windows performance [16:01] nicofs, in case you wanna get rid of GNU/Linux inerst your Windoze CD and boot to the recovery console. Log in then and finally execute fixbmr and fixboot.

[16:02] linuxmonster: i always set aside a partition (or an unpartitioned area) for linux when installing windows. but this time, the ubuntu installer could find neither...

If a packet comes in with a src of lan A, dst of lan A, no problems, the machine will accept it and reply/etc. If a packet comes in with a src of lan A, dst of lan B, and it arrives on the lan B int (aka we're following all the rules) the packet is ignored, not good.

[16:10] wng-: try retuning your attitude [16:10] wng- maybe you should write your own driver [16:10] Yes but WINE handles the translation of Windows Runtime Code --> Linux Runtime Code. Logically there would be a way to block this routine. Clearly its a "Feature" of Wine because otherwise it would just be written to the Wine/Windows Registry and not make changes to Gnome [16:10] wng-: like I said we are not your wikipedia/google now if you had an issue with a specific sound card we could try to help [16:10] What is the function of Terminal Bell option?

SO i though that maybe it could find them i i partitioned them...

And my host allows others like PhpBB, Drupal, Joomla. I wanted to use Zikula but could not any suggestions on what is similar in look and ease to Postnuke was? [16:40] maruen, maybe the syslogs? [16:40] Hye guys....please help about low graphics mode [16:40] Soyo, How do I see the syslog? [16:40] nicofs: thats good, did you partition them as you want to install ubuntu to them?

[16:41] mauren tail -f /var/log/name-of-log should allow you to see [16:41] Soyo, ?

[16:42] i can only partition using windows. the ubuntu installer (step 4 of 7) in expert mode (manually manage partitions) DOES NOT FIND/DISPLAY the partition i want to use. [16:42] could someone refer me to the ubuntu powerpc channel? [16:42] I have an installation problem with Ubuntu [16:42] Vigo, looked at a few others but the host lets certain apps and not others. I really wanted Zikula but no interface for it or I did something wrong (It was late afterall) lol [16:42] try opening /var/log/syslog in a text editor and search cron [16:42] it just "merges" my last 3 partitions into one big partition.

[16:43] linuxmonster: Are you blocking content or is that the intent? [16:43] I burned Ubuntu to my CD, but the CD still shows as a blank CD and yet all other CDs work. Why is that? [16:43] beegee: google linux shared libraries for more information [16:44] Chakan: how did you burn it? [16:44] Vigo, I am not blocking anything to be honest, its a BSD based webhost and they install nothing as its pay as you go. [16:44] thx archwild.. i'll try that [16:44] do i partition my 2nd HDD as primary or extended if i would like to use it as a storage drive [16:44] maruen, try opening /var/log/syslog in a text editor and search cron (there maybe multiple syslogs for certain date ranges though) [16:44] ActionParsnip, they are identical between the two [16:44] linuxmonster: I see now, was just looking at the site, Blogging? [16:45] Vigo, I like the host as its no frills, you pay only for what bandwidth/storage you use not a flat fee permonth type thing. Just a bugger to setup lol [16:45] piper69: a 2nd actual hard drive,, can be either. It depends on your needs. I always use primaries when possible [16:45] xomp: strange, thats the config of the service.. [16:45] xomp: same hardware too? [16:45] piper69: 4 primaries allowed. One of which can be a extended that holds 1 or more logical parittions. [16:45] xomp: and same kernel? [16:45] Dr_Willis: ext2 or 3 [16:45] linuxmonster: Do you have alien marked in the Package Manager? [16:45] piper69: if you just want a single partition. may as well make it primary [16:45] piper69: why not ext4? === giuse87 is now known as DiabloBasic [16:46] Vigo, give you a better idea here is a link to my old site in the internet time machine http://web.archive.org/web/20030217033734/http://linuxmonster.org/ takes a minute or so to load [16:46] ActionParsnip, different hardware, ones a Linode ubuntu VPS and the other is a DME Hosting ubuntu VPS both running identical versions of ubuntu with same kernel. [16:46] NGEN [16:46] piper69: it depends on your needs. I dont see much reason to use ext2 [16:46] Dr_Willis: i will be using it for my mythtv to record on it [16:46] piper69: the #mythbuntu channel may tell you whats best for that task. [16:46] Soyo, I found out this: [16:46] Dr_Willis: ext2 is good on USB / flash based devices [16:46] piper69: i imagine ext3/4 would work fine.

[16:48] Soyo, I'm using the user lajes [16:48] Soyo, I'm not using root [16:49] That could be why [16:49] ActionParsnip, memory is below it's maximum, the error I get seems to be releated to a welcome message or something for ssh/sftp? this is the error I get in WinSCP http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/323/sftp.jpg and the error I get in putty and filezilla are simply "Out of Memory". Not sure why I get such varying errors between those applications. [16:49] Soyo, but I also tried to use root, and it didn't worked [16:49] Soyo, also [16:49] oh [16:49] Is it possible to run Ubuntu as a VM under Windows 7? [16:49] sin_tax: i believe so.... [16:50] xomp: tiny shot but readable, not sure dude. i'd check top while you transfer the data, as well as read the dmesg | tail when it craps out [16:50] sin_tax: absolutely [16:51] ActionParsnip, so I'd just need the ISO and a VM client? Sorry, new to VM [16:51] is there any good programme for partitioning, like PartitionMagic, that's open-source? [16:51] sin_tax: sure, i'd advise you use virtualbox if you are new to VM, it holds your and a lot [16:51] sin_tax: get virtualbox.. read its docs.. run ubuntu in virtualbox.. works great [16:51] sin_tax: make sure you MD5 test the ISO before using it too, make sure the data is good :) [16:52] Thanks ActionParsnip + Dr_Willis === callisto is now known as Guest42996 [16:52] Whenever I make or break a wireless connection, a big fat black box pops up, which cannot be dismissed but fades away after (too long).

[16:52] xiong: sounds like libnotify [16:52] ActionParsnip, ? [16:53] xiong: tell your network app to not display notifications [16:53] mrokii: i'll try that... === yoda is now known as Guest54011 [16:54] ActionParsnip, I'm using the Network Manager Applet. All its preferences seem to deal with connections themselves; the applet doesn't seem to have options. [16:54] Soyo, where are you? [16:54] is there a subtitle helper app for ubuntu - like for to create subtitles? [16:55] linuxmonster: Something like Bluefish or am missing the track here? [16:55] xiong: not sure dude, i use wicd which has an option. I'd assume network manager can be told to be quiet [16:55] Vigo, you saw the archive of the site? [16:55] blue_anna: heres a tool/url that can find/download subtitles for you . ive never made my own --> http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/automatically-rename-your-tv-and-anime.html [16:56] ActionParsnip, A different network manager might be a big win anyway. I don't think highly of 'Network Manager'. [16:56] blue_anna: subtitleeditor is in Synaptic package manager. don't know how good it is. I have never used it [16:56] xiong, I just got rid of it and I use the config file. [16:56] xiong: me either, wicd is great but doesn't support 3G which I dont personally use [16:56] Dr_Willis: thanks, but yeah, I mean a helper tool to create srt's -- it's really not taht bad to just do it in a text editor but the video playback has to support very accurate timestamps [16:57] linuxmonster: Rechecking now... [16:57] IdleOne: thanks, I'll give that a try [16:57] Vigo, takes like 4 mins to load as its a archive of the website 7 years ago lol [16:58] blue_anna: the mencoder docs/forums/guides may offer suggestions. [16:58] I think I might just clean a HDD and do a dual boot... I gather Win cannot read extfs and linux cannot read NTFS, so would it be smart to create a FAT partition on a drive in case I need to swap data between OSes? [16:58] xiong: make sure you remove network manager too, gets in the way [16:58] linuxmonster: That is what had me puzzled... [16:58] guys, i've installed lucid thru wubi on xp... problem is if choose ubuntu during the boot, i ended up with sh:grub>... i was able to get inside my ubuntu and run upgrade-grub... problem still exists... anyone? [16:58] sin_tax, actually linux can read ntfs and windows can read extX [16:58] sin_tax: fat isn't very robust at all, ntfs is a better choice [16:58] sin_tax, You need to download drivers for windows but I think it's out of the box for linux [16:59] Thinking about upgrading to 10.04..... anyone run into any snags/major problems? [16:59] sin_tax: edbian: the ext2fs project doesn't run on win7 yet === ent is now known as james[home] [16:59] Ah, cool. I couldn't seem to find the NTFS partition on my wife's computer when I installed ubuntu on it, but it was probably just user error. [16:59] webereinc: none, but some say its been hellish [16:59] I think I will just try Zikula again even though they dont support it. If the host allows Drupal and Joomla then I cant see why Zikula would not work. I must have just been tired and missed something lastnight playing around [16:59] ActionParsnip, Synaptic wants to rm NM anyway. This gives me pause. If I rm it and for some reason, wicd fails or I need to browse help to get it working, how can I get back online? [16:59] anyone? [16:59] sin_tax, In any event linux can read NTFS it just can't run nativly on it yet. Unless you count wubi [17:00] xiong: use the install CD or a wired connection and reinstall it, wicd will be fine though [17:00] please help... coz everytime i want to run ubuntu i always end up typing from grub> set root=(loop0) blah blah [17:00] please [17:00] linuxmonster: We are getting rather off topic now, /msg me [17:00] well, windows can read extX [17:00] gharz: review your grub config [17:00] gharz, People here an generally not thrilled to work on wubi problems. They're complicated and often the case is that just installing linux normally seems like the solution [17:00] grub2 is greek to me, i miss grub1 [17:00] you just need to load the apropiate driver, just like with ntfs in linux [17:01] Did there finally get a tool out for windows to read ext4 ? [17:01] in ubuntu 10.04 Xorg consumes silly amount of cpu if i have the powercabel connected, anyone have any idea what i can do about it? [17:01] If my /var/lib/dpkg/available is corrupt how can I replace it? [17:01] ActionParsnip, Don't have a wired connection. I guess I can use the install CD. But I do fear this. We'll see. [17:01] ive had some bad issues in the past with windows tools read/writeing to ext2/3 [17:01] How can I make the text input box bigger / a different color in xchat? [17:01] fnmueller_remote: the fs-driver.org app doesn't run on win7 yet [17:01] edbian: looks like that's what i'm gonna do.... ActionParsnip: i've checked my grub.cnf file and it looks good to me... [17:01] well isn,t ext4 downward compatible? [17:01] xiong: i think you'll be pleasantly suprised :) [17:02] edbian, settings-preferences-text box [17:02] grub doesn't show when i choose ubuntu... it goes directly to grub> [17:02] :( [17:02] gharz: when you are booted, reinstall grub to the disk again (may need live cd) [17:02] seanj, Found it. Thanks. I made it the same colors but making it taller doesn't seem to be possible [17:02] is there anny partition manager other than GParrted, that i could try to manage my ntfs partitions? [17:02] nicofs, I think KDE has one. [17:02] ActionParsnip: i'm actually inside my ubuntu now... did update-grub [17:02] ActionParsnip: i wonder what to do next [17:02] how can i get sound software to use my card 1: iSub [harman/kardon USB iSub], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] [17:03] gharz: yes but that doesn't install the bootloader to the disk, only updates the grub.cfg file [17:03] I'm trying to use krita in the GNOME environment and it crashes on startup every time. When I try to report a bug, it asks me to install the debugging symbols. While KPackageKit is doing so, it, too, crashes. Any idea? [17:03] s/idea/ideas/ [17:03] ActionParsnip: bootloader? sad to say i don't know where to find the bootloader [17:03] :( [17:03] thank yous === Sor|nello is now known as sburjan [17:03] gharz: boot to live cd and reinstall grub there [17:03] !grub2 | gharz [17:04] gharz: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [17:04] ActionParsnip: thanks... i'll check that one out [17:04] gharz, The bootloader is a mysterious little piece of software that resides in the first few blocks on your hdd. You don't ever seen it unless it's running ;) [17:04] well thanks for making Ubuntu, cheers [17:04] ActionParsnip: i can't reinstall grub inside my ubuntu? i need to install it thru a live cd? [17:04] gharz: i'd do it from livecd so the disk is not in use [17:04] ActionParsnip: ok [17:04] thanks, ActionParsnip [17:05] gharz: np dude [17:06] Dunno, ActionParsnip. I guess I trust your advice. Will I be looking at a restart? === bilal is now known as Unknown0x [17:07] in ubuntu 10.04 Xorg consumes silly amount of cpu (65-78% if i have the powercabel connected, anyone have any idea what i can do about it? [17:07] Cork[home]: err,, what powercable ? [17:07] Dr_Willis: the powercable for the laptop [17:07] on batery it goes down to 1-2% [17:08] that is interesting. [17:08] Cork[home], It sounds liks it throttling to save battery life? === bilal is now known as Unknown0x [17:08] Well, ActionParsnip, I seem to be back online. But I'm not thrilled with wicd. It takes up quite a bit of room and apparently doesn't go straight into the panel. [17:08] edbian: so it only hides the original problem? [17:08] Cork[home]: you may want to check the forums. Such power setting issues are often very hard to track down. [17:08] edbian, he said that XOrg uses more CPU when the power cable is plugged in [17:08] xiong: does it, the default is to load a panel item [17:08] i wish i could get dual monitor working. [17:09] xiong: try a reboot if its convenient [17:09] Koiyuki: then you will want 3 monitors.. then 4 [17:09] XD [17:09] Koiyuki: i got 2 here.. 3 was too much hassle [17:09] Koiyuki, what manufacturer is your graphics card from? [17:09] Dr_Willis, Koiyuki I have 1 monitor and I already want 4 [17:09] ati [17:09] Koiyuki: just get a 42" tv and you should be good [17:09] close idle [17:09] Hello, I was hoping someone could help me restore my old lucid configurations. I had Lucid installed via Wubi but windows got destroied while partitioning. I installed lucid again on it's own partition I made backup of root.disk and swap.disk from the origional wubi install now I just need to know how to take that root.disk file and restore my old settings. [17:09] IdleOne: na, then you'd want 2... [17:10] 24" 1920x1200 lcd, second display is a 40" rca 1080p hdtv [17:10] xiong: there is a new startup added to run: wicd-gtk at logon [17:10] A reboot is definitely not convenient just now; I'm in the middle of stuff. I'm more concerned that it shows available networks ordered by strength of signal. This is useless, since most of them are secured. [17:10] abuayyoub: i belive you can mount the root.disk file via the mount and -o loop options. but ive never done so [17:10] you were off by 2" [17:10] has anyone had trouble booting the 2.6.31-21 kernel? [17:11] An_Ony_Moose, 2x xfx ati hd 5770 [17:11] is it possible to use Ekiga to call someone's VOIP service if they use something like Vonage as a provider? [17:11] !nfs [17:11] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [17:11] xiong: i'm not sure how you'd change that, usually the strongest signalled are closer in proximity so will be more likely to be your AP [17:12] Koiyuki, ah, ati... no wonder you can't xP [17:12] Hi all can someone please help me put my dns servers back to automatic. (I manually set them a while ago and can't remember how i did it) [17:12] A lil bit ago, I had the second display going, but it wasnt working right. One second, you could see it as a second display, the next it was just a garbled bunch of pixels [17:12] Rob123: what network management app do you use? [17:12] ActionParsnip, I have dozens of secured routers in my neighborhood; not interested in any of them. [17:13] Rob123, you need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [17:13] I don't :) at least I can't remember (I'm a bit of a noob) [17:13] And one thing I didnt like, it was set up so the second display was "to the right" of my maind display [17:13] Another issue, which may be the deal-killer, is that I have two wifi interfaces in my laptop, internal and external. Sometimes I get better pickup on one, sometimes the other. [17:13] ok I'll check that edbian [17:13] Rob123, you need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf specifically the prepend domain-name-servers line [17:13] But wicd seems to want to set the interface one time. [17:13] I want the second display to be "above" my main display. cause my main display (24" lcd) is on my desk, my second display (40" hdtv) is above it, mounted on the wall [17:14] Dr_Willis, any idea how to do that? [17:14] is there a network manager gui that I can use before I dive into the files? [17:14] Rob123, /etc/resolv.conf is the actual file that lists your DNS servers but it gets re-written by other software all the time so it's not best to manually edit it. [17:14] IRC on a 40" now that would be a trip lol [17:14] Hey - quick question: what does the little black arrow above a folder icon mean? [17:14] ive played WoW on it a few times, but not for long [17:14] Rob123, nm-applet It shows up in notification area on the gnome-panel. I suggest the files though ;) [17:14] edbian, yeh I had a go at removing resolv.conf but it didn't help [17:14] Rob123: you will have nm-applet in the notification area, you may have used that [17:14] hurts my neck having to look up for any extended period of time [17:14] Rob123, You probably don't want to remove the entire file :P [17:15] xiong: well you can always switch back. give it a go, there is more than network-manager [17:15] Yes, ActionParsnip, it looks like a better tool but just not for me, in my circumstances. But thank you for pointing it out. [17:15] edbian, ActionParsnip thanks I'll try nm-applet [17:15] xiong: theres also wifi-radar [17:15] Rob123, no problem [17:15] * xiong looks [17:15] edbian, I tried purging it too and that still didn't help [17:15] brb, testing xbmc [17:15] I never had any luck with wifi-radar it hated my USB adapter [17:15] ...trying nm-applet [17:16] xiong: if the system is a desktop and never moves you can use /etc/network/interfaces to define the network there and use no network manaer at all [17:16] Wicd and Network-applet worked like a charm though was so strange [17:16] Rob123, purging what? [17:16] I can boot -2.6.31-14 just fine [17:16] xiong, That's what I do. I didn't like the network manager [17:16] Remowylliams, I have both installed and can boot both without issue, but I tend to just use -14 [17:16] edbian, resolv.conf... but then I put it back :) [17:16] linuxmonster: afaik, wicd also ignores that stupid key stuff which pops up asking to be unlocked [17:17] linuxmonster: are you using an lvm ? [17:17] Rob123, Oh ha. You need that file :) When you say purge I think of removing packages using apt [17:17] ActionParsnip, edbian, my box is a laptop. I need to be able to take flexible advantage of my environment. [17:17] xiong, You can do that with the file although I never have. [17:17] join #ubuntu-de-offtopic [17:17] you know the example content that is distributed with Ubuntu, i have some poems in audio and some other stuff that are in public domain that i'd like to offer where do i do that? [17:17] xiong: you can e with interfaces file, its just not a pretty gui ;) [17:17] xiong, "sudo iwlist scan" [17:17] That's why I bought an external antenna. [17:17] Stoken: /join #ubuntu-de-offtopic [17:17] xiong: your call dude. [17:18] linuxmonster: I'm going to try to boot 2.6.31-17 and see if that works. [17:18] !hi [17:18] ActionParsnip, LOL ya know I forgot all about that little annoyance. yeah it does and it never unlocked 1/2 time I just sticked with Wicd and Network-pannel applet when in Xfce and they worked for me with my usb adapter no issues [17:18] 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! [17:18] jo thx [17:18] my mistake [17:18] Stoken: no problem :) [17:18] err 20 [17:18] but i would like to be able to run my 40" hdtv as a second display, so i can run XBMC/VLC on it [17:19] Is it possible to hear a feedback/loopback through speakers of a microphone plugged to a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop? My mic works properly, I can record its audio. I'm trying hear the feedback but it seems impossible, even messing up with mixers. [17:19] Remowylliams, Y aknow I am in a firm beliver it aint broke dont try fix it. -14 works perfect for me so I rarely ever boot into -21 I should really remove it to be honest as I rarely use it [17:19] linuxmonster: 2.6.31-20 works fine [17:20] linuxmonster: make my day better if you can please and tell me how to remove the -21 [17:20] Dr_Willis, After I manage to mount the root.disk file do i just copy and replace the files inside? [17:20] it was installed with aptitude upgrade [17:21] quit [17:21] Remowylliams, easy just delete it therough Synaptic it will then also remove it from your Grub aswell [17:21] does linux have an issue with HDMI? could that be the issue my second display looked all wacked? [17:21] Dr_Willis, After I manage to mount the root.disk file do I simply copy the files over and rewrite the new ones? [17:21] be sure to also remove the -dev and others assc with it then you will have just the one installed and listed as a option to boot in Grub [17:21] nobody wants to help me to help ubuntu? [17:22] I need help installing ubuntu. i can't install it to the desired partition... my hdd has 6 partitions but the installation programme displays only 4 (the last 3 partitions being merged into one) what should i do? weirdly enough, all 6 partitions except the last one can be mounted... and the last one is where my ubuntu should go... [17:22] Remowylliams, though I will also add that most suggest you keep 2 kernels installed at all times incase on gets borked you can always boot the other [17:23] i have a folder in /usr/src/drivers i needto remove what is th rm command [17:23] hiexpo, rm -R /name/of/directory [17:23] nicofs, it may be displaying the 'extended' partition [17:24] nicofs, i can't really know for sure however [17:24] could be... but how do i fix that?!? [17:24] try without the -R first though as thats a recursive delete and would delte all sub-folders aswell [17:24] Hey - quick question: what does the little black arrow above a folder icon mean? [17:24] quit [17:25] i have created a single partition /dev/sdb1 ...i currenty have /var/lib/mythtv/recordingd and /var/lib/mythtv/livetv that i want to move it to the new storage drive /dev/sdb1 how can i do that please [17:25] linuxmonster, so it would be rm -r /usr/src\drivers [17:25] anarhist: if you need further information... just ask... [17:25] hi [17:25] nicofs, i'm trying to think [17:25] hiexpo, make sure though there is no sub-directorys that you may need in /usr/src/drivers [17:26] anarhist: sry... woulndn't want to disturb you doing that... [17:26] what does the ubuntu dvd include that the cd doesn't? [17:26] linuxmonster, i just want to delete the drivers folder === james is now known as Guest64501 [17:26] hi [17:26] what torrent program for Ubuntu handles RSS torrent feeds? [17:26] what torrent program for Ubuntu handles RSS torrent feeds? [17:26] sorry for double... [17:27] linuxmonster: giving it a shot now. [17:27] VirusTB, miro [17:27] edbian, nm-applet doesn't seem like what I need, I have opened up dhclient.conf and found the line prepend domain.name-servers, what must I do there? [17:27] VirusTB: deluge does I guess [17:27] how can I restart networking? /etc/init.d/networking stop does nothing, and service restart networking gives: restart: Unknown Instance: (ends with a colon) [17:27] Anarch, Miro does torrents??? [17:27] Konam [17:28] Konam, I don't think deluge handles RSS [17:28] Is it possible to hear a feedback/loopback through speakers of a microphone plugged to a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop? My mic works properly, I can record its audio. I'm trying hear the feedback but it seems impossible, even messing up with mixers. [17:28] Anarhist, , Miro does torrents??? [17:28] Anarhist, Konam know any nother torrent aplications on ubntu [17:29] nicofs, no, that's not what i meant... q; -)= i meant "give me a second"... do you see your partition table right now? [17:29] VirusTB deluge is the best bittorrent client on linux IMO, it's like our own utorrent (they are going in that direction). I don't know if it handles bt because i always disable the sidebar. [17:29] Rob123, That line adds those DNS servers to your resolv.conf when you make a DHCP connection to a network. IT addes them before the DNS servers provided by the DHCP server. Does that answer your question? [17:29] VirusTB, i believe miro does torrents too [17:29] VirusTB, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/list-of-bittorrent-clients-available-in-ubuntu.html [17:29] anarhist: i can start gparted... otherwise im in front of a blank screen of ubuntu 10.04 live-cd... [17:30] what is the best way to setup ssh tunnels at login and close them at logout? [17:30] can somebody tell me the difference between the ubuntu cd and the dvd? [17:30] how can I restart networking in Karmic? /etc/init.d/networking stop seems to do nothing, and service restart networking gives: restart: Unknown Instance: (ends with a colon) [17:30] anonymouse_, thanks :P just googled and got the same link [17:30] linuxmonster: Thank you very much. that has everything working as it should. *salute* [17:30] Konam, Number of packages on the disc [17:30] nicofs, yeah, start gparted, let's see if we can sort that out [17:30] Konam, it comes with more application packages [17:30] Remowylliams, you most welcome glad I could help [17:30] Konam, ohh i like uTorrent :D [17:31] Konam, i will truy Delufge [17:31] linuxmonster: I'm very glad too. :)) [17:31] deluge* [17:31] linuxmonster, so it would be rm -r /usr/src/drivers so will this command only delete the drivers folder and not the others? [17:31] VirusTB, try uTorrent + wine [17:31] anarhist: gparted running as sudo... displays 4 partitions where there should be 6... [17:31] edbian, at the moment that is commented out with a # but it does have 127.0.0.1 listed there. [17:31] ok, what is the type of the last one? [17:31] aparently NTFS [17:32] fresh install, get no grub prompt. why? [17:32] hiexpo, that will delete all files and any sub-dirs in /usr/src/drivers you can also use the -I tag thats for interactive so it prompts you before deleting a file [17:32] I'll uncomment it and hope that the 127.0.0.1 (localhost) with put it back to default auto DNS? [17:32] edbian, http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1554608.html [17:32] Rob123, If it is commented than it isn't affecting anything. Can you explain what you're trying to do? I don't think I understand [17:32] but judging by the size, it's the last 3 partitions of my hdd... [17:32] my /home in lucid is encrypted; i get error messages when trying to make a tar copy of /home; what to do? [17:32] (which are NTFS, NTFS, FAT32) [17:32] nicofs, what did you see under the windows [17:32] 6 partitions [17:33] hiexpo, rm -I -r /usr/src/drivers should work thats a capital eye not a small L [17:33] 3x NTFS (the same under gparted), 2xNTFS, FAT32 (all in one under Gparted) [17:33] Omg, way to many people to get a good conversation going, but I'm trying anyway. I'm having trouble with 10.04 amd64 loosing the network connection regularly. It's a ESX 4 guest. Doing /etc/init.d/networking restart solves the problem temporarily [17:33] About 2 years ago I added Manually DNS servers to Ubuntu, My ISP recently removed those DNS servers and I want to go back to auto detecting them. I can't for the life of me remember how I made the changes so I can't therefore think how to undo them... [17:34] ciao [17:34] !hi | loris [17:34] loris: 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! [17:34] Rob123: edited your /etc/resolov.conf perhaps? [17:34] !it > loris [17:34] loris, please see my private message [17:34] Rob123, What does /etc/resolv.conf look like? [17:34] * Dr_Willis never can spell the name of that file right [17:35] Rob123, Are you using a router / gateway? [17:35] linuxmonster, ok but i do not want to delete any other folder other the the drivers folder so what is the commandto just delete it i need to keep the other folders leading to it [17:35] yes [17:35] nicofs, let's try a different (more bruteforce) utility, in terminal do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" where sda is your drive [17:35] 1 sec getting the contents of resolv.conf [17:35] before i start... what does that do? [17:35] whats the simplest way to take an old netbook ASUS with ubuntu and upgrade it? [17:36] nicofs, it will list the table of drives and exit without making any changes [17:36] Rob123, Be sure to say my name when you're talking to me or I will miss you [17:36] hello@all how many users do current use lucid lynx?? is the a webcounter?? [17:36] download the img, write it to an SD card, boot off it [17:36] nicofs, sorry, i should have said that myself [17:36] hiexpo, rm -I -r /usr/src/drivers should work thats a capital eye not a small L thats interactive mode. I have to hit the store but "man rm" will also help you its a very short manpage [17:36] Im trying to get my apache directory password-protected and have it all working for one dir, but cant get it to work for the other. Anyone that knows AuthConfig here? [17:36] nicofs, man fdisk if you want to check [17:36] edbian, sorry, here we go, search lan (return) nameserver 87.194.0.51 (return) nameserver 87.194.0.52 [17:37] anonymouse_ if that's the case then I don't need it [17:37] those nameservers are now decommisioned [17:37] anao: it is generally _very_ difficult to find out, how many people are using free software, since it is not sold and therefore not registered. [17:37] Rob123, Take them out of the file! Are you using a router / gateway? [17:37] fission6, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [17:37] hi, can someone help me please. I have a backup file ( root.disk) from a wubi install. I just did a clean install of lucid on it's own partition now I am wondering how to restore my files from the root.disk file. [17:38] ok so just use package manager [17:38] edbian, that was the first thing I did (take them out) but it didn't seem to work. Yes I am using a router [17:38] Can anyone tell me where I change the timeout before the screen locks requiring my password to use the comp? Using 10.4 [17:38] anarhist: i did fdisk -l ... does not look good... [17:38] err update manager [17:38] nicofs, same thing? [17:38] edbian, So you are suggesting that the whole resolv.conf should just consist of 'search lan'? [17:38] Rob123, Log into the router and make sure it's not passing those address out as well. [17:38] jimmyz80: System-Preferences-ScreenSaver [17:38] it tells me, that "this doesn't look like a partition table"... [17:38] ty [17:38] nicofs, ouch [17:39] hang on... that was only sda4 [17:39] no, not a number [17:39] just sda [17:39] Rob123, If the file is blank that is what it will do but that's generally not going to work. Most lans don't have a DNS server. That file should get a couple good DNS servers from your router. [17:39] if i do the whole thing with just sda... it shows 4 partitions [17:40] Rob123, When you connect via DHCP that's what happens. The system gets a couple DNS servers from the DHCP server, in this case that's your router [17:40] edbian, how do you mean 'passing those address out'? that I may have updated the router?... you know... that may be ringing a little bell... checking... === linuxmonster is now known as Linux-away [17:40] nicofs, you don't have something weird installed, some whole drive encryption or something else like that? because i'm sort of out of ideas how this can be [17:40] Rob123, I think you updated the router. Yes [17:41] i *had* installed an encrypted partition using truecrypt... but i reformated it to blank... [17:42] ciao [17:42] Rob123, Back. Sorry about that. Did I miss anything? [17:42] edbian: no [17:43] how do I disable plymouth? [17:43] nicofs, that wouldn't break anything... i'd recommend rebooting into windows again, and rechecking the disk table... maybe even delete the partition you want to install ubuntu to, so that it will be empty space, you can create the new partition during the installation of ubuntu [17:43] cellofellow: whats plymouth? [17:43] phlak_user: haha, it's the bootsplash screen in Ubuntu (and Fedora for that matter). [17:44] anarhist: that's what i've tried already a few times... delete, create... [17:44] nicofs, don't create [17:44] nicofs, let it be empty and see what happens [17:44] edbian, nope still looking into the router pages, can't see how to change nameservers atm [17:44] Rob123, What kind of router? [17:44] cellofellow: does it come with grub2? [17:44] anonymouse_, i had uTorrent with wine last time on ubuntu, it doesnt seem to handle the Magnet links to download [17:44] the same... i did that... an after that didnt work, i just created a fat32 partition.. [17:44] o2 [17:45] think it's a thomson [17:45] how to uninstall a program including all of it's configuration files? [17:45] xomp: sudo apt-get remove program-name [17:45] I've tried apt-get autoremove package, apt-get remove --purge package [17:45] phlak_user: has nothing to do with grub2. Jaunty and Karmic had grub2 but still used usplash, Lucid now uses plymouth. [17:45] nicofs, and when you did that the last partition was still showing up as being as large as from start to the end of the drive? [17:45] phlak_user, that doesn't remove the packages configs [17:45] hi plz give me french chan ubuntu [17:45] nicofs, did you ever resize that partition? [17:45] !fr | Fabienne [17:45] Fabienne: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [17:45] !fr | Fabienne [17:45] anarhist: yes. it's always merged into one partition. no matter what i do [17:46] edbian, o2 thomson router [17:46] Hello all, I just got a USB Wacom Bamboo tablet and I'm trying to make it work (I'm on Lucid). Can anyone help? [17:46] xomp: purge will, but not the user-configs from $HOME [17:46] thank you [17:46] cellofellow: uh ive got a splash screen and its certainly not plymouth [17:46] llutz, ah ok, explains why I still have this config hah [17:46] xomp: look at comment 5, here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-do-i-get-apt-get-to-completely-uninstall-a-package-237772/ [17:46] Rob123, Never heard of it. Can't help. I'm almost certain that's where the addresses are coming from though [17:46] hi, I have a some backup root / partition from a previous install, how can I copy them and rewrite the current system files?? [17:46] Can anyone tell me whats the (hd0,3) numbering in GRUB? [17:47] edbian, need to spend some more time looking for these settings, let's say that's where the addresses are coming from so they would be written into resolv.conf automatically? [17:47] phlak_user: um, if it's purple with dots that change color it certainly is. [17:47] im no linux expert, but im pretty sure hd0,3 would be 1st hard drive, 4th partition [17:47] nicofs, have you ever (in the past) resized the partition that now shows up to include other partitions beyond it [17:47] cellofellow: oh that; sorry I was thinking about the background image with grub [17:48] Koiyuki, you are correct [17:48] Rob123, Yes. When you get an IP address from a DHCP server you also get DNS servers. [17:48] llutz, you wouldn't happen to know how I can setup an ftp server on my box do you? I only have SSH access to it and I tried following an outdated proftpd guide here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 but could never connect as I think the proftpd.conf is a lot different than that guys heh [17:48] i have a fresh install of lucid, which i want to replace all the new system files with my backup ones. how can I do this? [17:48] phlak_user: like I said, has nothing to do with grub. :) [17:48] but why not use /dev/sda0, sdb1, etc... instead of hd(0,3)? [17:48] cellofellow: sorry dude [17:48] sorry, (hd0,3) [17:48] PuppetZ, because there can be sda and hda [17:48] xomp: there are lots of vsftpd-tuts on the net [17:48] anarhist: i can't really tell what exactly that large partition is... but i have done some resizing between the 3 partition it comprises of... [17:48] edbian, ok, I am getting internet connection on my 2 xp machines though, is that irrelevant? [17:48] PuppetZ, and because /dev isn't mounted yet [17:49] so hdx means any hard disk [17:49] llutz, vsftpd? [17:49] yep, certain :) [17:49] Rob123, Are they DHCP?? And they don't have this same problem? [17:49] PuppetZ, no, hd is IDE [17:49] edbian, correct [17:49] my real problem actually isn't plymouth but X. My video card is really crappy and X sort of fizzles out when GDM starts it during the boot process. Since GDM switched to upstart instead of sysv bootup scripts I don [17:49] xomp: the only ftpd i ever used [17:49] ...I don't know how to disable it. [17:49] How do i secure shred my Trashbin?? [17:49] ok, I'll google [17:49] I'm trying to start bind9 but all I get is Fail - anyone know where I can look for a more specific error msg? [17:49] I do /etc/init.d/bind9 start [17:49] How do i secure shred my Trashbin?? ( wann go a 35 gunman pass), is there a plugin for the trash bin?? [17:50] nicofs, i'm sorry, i have a feeling that somehow the disk table got corrupted somehow... i don't have enough knowledge to really help you, q; -(= [17:50] Alright [17:50] hello, I just updated Ubuntu to the newest version and I don't have a sound volume control applet. How do I get one to start? [17:50] VirusTB, the command you look for is 'wipe' [17:50] So I built a RAID 5 array with devices, not partitions, and now I'm having problems with it [17:50] VirusTB: can't really be done unless your trash is a separate partition. Shredding files on a journaled filesystem doesn't work. [17:50] anarhist: i think that's all due to the crappy partitioning programme included in windows... [17:50] so if i want to add a new entry in GRUB pointing to a windows partition in a SATA disk i will have to put 'set root=(sd0,x)' [17:50] cellofellow: you should remove quiet splash from the kernel boot line [17:50] crf: See if right-clicking the Panel and selecting Add Panel, then Volume Control works [17:50] I can't grow the filesystem [17:50] VirusTB: if your underlying filesystem is encrypted then there's no need to shred. [17:50] VirusTB, if it's journaled filesystem then it will be useless though [17:50] cellofellow, :S ext3 i cant shred?? [17:51] Rob123, Have you restarted them recently? They should also be getting their DNS servers from the DHCP server (the router). This proves what I think maybe be wrong. [17:51] phlak_user: yeah, I realized that now. [17:51] Thanks Cynthia, I tried that, but there is no volume control option there. [17:51] VirusTB: nope, only chance is to shred the whole partition. [17:51] Anarhist, wow... so what are my options to keep my info secure? [17:51] crf: Update from what to Lucid? Karmic or Hardy? [17:51] edbian, yes restart them all the time [17:51] karmic to lucid [17:51] Rob123, Then I'm not sure what the hell is going on! :( [17:51] cynthia, karmic to lucid [17:51] has anyone got their microphone to work with skype? [17:51] VirusTB, if it's *really* important... back up all the contents and then wipe entire drive and then restore [17:52] crf: saw that, thanks for adding my name though :) [17:52] ;-) [17:52] cellofellow, Anarhist what about if i encrypt my disc?? with truecrypt [17:52] VirusTB, and destroy the backup [17:52] im only getting pulseaudio as the input device; not alsa etc [17:52] Anarhist, i wanna keep my data safe, just ijncase my desktop is stolen [17:52] crf: (+) I'll see if Lucid itself has Volume Control as an option, and if it does, you should report a bug on the karmic-lucid upgrade [17:52] VirusTB, it depends, do you want to hide the data, or even the fact that you have that data [17:52] edbian, haha, join the club :) I'm going to give my ISP a call and see if they know what is going on [17:52] Cynthia, hello. You helped me yesterday with a problem I was hoping you might be able to help me today. I backed up all my files from a previous install of lucid ( the entire / folder ) what I want to know now is how can I replace my new / folder with the backup ? [17:52] edbian, thanks for trying anyways :) [17:52] Cynthia, ok [17:52] how can i find when a user logged in the last time into the system? [17:53] VirusTB: I'd use the built-in ecryptfs. Create a new user, and in the user-create dialog check the box to encrypt data. Copy all your stuff to that new user and it's all encrypted. [17:53] orflon: lastlog [17:53] orflon: "last" [17:53] apart from that? [17:53] Anarhist, well, i want to make sure the Feds cant see whats on my HDD :P [17:53] VirusTB: might want to do that after a reinstall and a shred of the disk. [17:53] cellofellow, hmm sounds easy :: but im on a dual boot system [17:53] abuayyoub: Use 'cp -ar /backuppath /rootpath' after mounting your partition containing the backup as /backuppath and the new hard drive which is to contain the backup as /rootpath [17:53] edbian, one last thing, do you know what the line 'search lan' is doing there in resolv.conf? [17:53] Cynthia: crf add to panel Indicator Applet [17:54] VirusTB, it's *very* difficult actually, people who say otherwise didn't do PhD level research into anonymity === dn is now known as coafrab [17:54] VirusTB: even better. Copy all the stuff you want to keep into a TrueCrypt volume, and put that in the Windows system. Overwrite the Ubuntu partitions with zeros, then reinstall Ubuntu. You can set up the ecryptfs stuff in the installation. [17:54] anyone knows where ubuntu/x stores if I have to manual allow vnc remote connections to my desktop? (i need the config file) [17:54] i'm surprised that nobody has mentioned LUKS [17:54] what's the easiest way to install ODBC? [17:54] Rob123, I would guess it is searching the lan for DNS servers (the ones you have are outside your lan) [17:54] coafrab: using vino? that's in gconf [17:55] llutz, trying to follow this horrible guide here http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-vsftpd-ftp-service-server/ but he mentions not how you configure the username/password for the connection :( got a good one I can use? [17:55] Cynthia, thanks, that worked !! [17:55] cellofellow, man! lol that means i will lose all my settings / configurations and ssytem preferences on ubuntu? [17:55] crf: I didn't provide advice for that, IdleOne did [17:55] VirusTB: no, you can put all that in the truecrypt file. [17:55] cellofellow, even my eyecandy :( [17:55] VirusTB, if you are dealing with "Feds" or worse, then the problem is that they can always put keylogers somewhere, or just beat the living ... out of you to get the pass [17:55] edbian, ok thanks [17:55] xomp: http://www.debiantutorials.net/installing-vsftpd-using-text-file-for-virtual-users/ [17:55] cellofellow: so far I see it via netstat it's vino :) [17:55] oh, t-y IdleOne === deepak_ is now known as dk [17:55] crf: Cynthia :) [17:56] coafrab: yeah, use gconf-editor it should be under /apps/vino [17:56] i need good c99shell scanning server "RFI" [17:56] Anarch, ok well how can i get windows to see a Ext3 partition? [17:56] cellofellow: I can only use the console :) [17:56] hello [17:56] i wonder if i can get remix working on my joggler [17:56] llutz, cheers \o [17:56] VirusTB: explore2fs [17:56] spanish?

After I copied all the data off of my other 2 2TB drives, I added them to the array as spares. I am now attempting to add an additional 2TB partition to the array, but according to Gparted, the filesystem is already 5.64 TB (The real size of the array) Is it because I used /dev/sdb (The entire device) instead of partitioning the drives and using partitions fo [17:56] r the raid array (IE: /dev/sdb1) Can anyone help me?

[17:58] I'm trying to get mplayer installed/compiled with vdpau, but it seems mplayer won't compile with --enable-vdpau, has anyone gotten it working on lucid?

[19:18] so haha [19:18] mgolisch, but surely it should still show it as an option? [19:18] bushbaby: does ifconfig -a show a new networkinterface? also read the output of dmesg command it might tell you why the driver fails to load if it does [19:18] huess no one knows [19:19] cya folks [19:19] hey all, quick question. i am trying to link in -licuuc into my g++ app, but since my /usr/lib has /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.XXX, ld doesn't see it. is there a nice way to fix this?

[19:21] if you are in 9.04 does it work fine? [19:21] hm, maybe the driver didnt load properly [19:22] Soyo: I removed it from panel mistakenly and from startup applications list too [19:22] or its not managed by wireless extensions, never had a broadcom wlan [19:22] geeksquid: looks like the channel is +m [19:22] mgolisch, I'll try rebooting. back in a moment.

[19:25] Using ntfs-3g, the acl package and UserMapping files, I theorize that I can install Ubuntu into an existing Windows NTFS filesystem, thus sharing partition space between Windows and Ubuntu. Any thoughts on this? [19:26] so far every cad i have tried for linux just doesnt compair to Autodesk [19:26] bushbaby_: i suspekt the driver does not support your hardware or the firmware was not properly extracted [19:26] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0 help help help [19:26] Anyone knows how can I delete files oder then a certain number of days through FTP? [19:26] rab13s: yeah, GIMP can't compare to Photoshop, that's what we must fight :) [19:26] system404: audio cd? [19:26] coz_, this app: http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/ mentions a linuxapp called xflux that should do it via glibc. [19:26] system404: When do you get this error? [19:26] data dvd [19:26] rab13s: .....and i'm totally NOT buying Autodesk or using Wine [19:26] mgolisch, That will probably be improper extraction then as there is definately support as it's worked before..

[19:27] TheMusicGuy: really really unsupported, ntfs doesn't support user:group file permissions [19:27] Pysdm is a program to automatically setup partitions every time Ubuntu starts. This is verified to work in 9.04. << Does it work on 10.04 ???? [19:27] umless you're using a DL DVD in a SL dvd drive in which case forget it :) [19:27] system404: maybe its udf format? [19:27] !hi [19:27] 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! [19:27] tdn: you may like redshift, find it on launchpad I think [19:27] it is UDF [19:27] its a data DVD [19:27] burned in windows 7 [19:27] mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /cdrom [19:28] Beyecixramd: autodesk doesnt work well with wine, or at all, and im not trying to justify buying autodesk in anyway, what do you find to be a useable cad program? id really like to stop running this virtual box just for cad [19:28] doesn't matter, that doesn't make it a UDF unless you specifically chose that format. most win software uses iso9660 with rockwell extensions [19:28] rab13s: QCad, it's a bit buggy, but works for that matter.. [19:28] Is it possible to forward X applications over ssh without X actually being installed? [19:28] GeekSquid: Really? I think it does, actually. [19:28] tdn: https://launchpad.net/redshift [19:28] rab13s: ill try GCad, which i never heard of [19:28] and that that uses udf under windows usually chooses udf 1.0 rather than the newer udf2 as well [19:28] What does swapping from workspace 1-4 do? [19:28] dirtydevil, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/user-guide/C/gospanel-8.html its for an old version but I don't think it has changed since then [19:29] Beyecixramd: thanks Ill look into thoes 2 [19:29] sin_tax ~ moves you between the virtual desktops === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 [19:29] sin_tax: It just gives you ways to organize your work. [19:29] pgpkeys: mount -t udf /dev/sr0 /cdrom is what gives me the wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, error [19:29] GeekSquid: Windows doesn't show it usually, but NTFS actually does associate owners and groups with files _in addition_ to the ACLs. [19:29] TheMusicGuy: nope, it won't let you install onto ntfs [19:29] Well, I created a folder on the desktop and it stays on all 4... Is that expected? [19:29] mgolisch, this is the output to dmesg command as far as my current line scrollback will allow.. [ http://pastebin.com/XKQPt6Dp ] [19:29] system404 ~ try udf2 [19:30] Soyo: ping [19:30] system404 ~ and, it could be a multisession which means it's not closed which could be giving you grief too [19:30] dirtydevil, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/user-guide/C/gospanel-8.html its for an old version but I don't think it has changed since then [19:30] sin_tax: I'm not sure. I don't use folders on my desktop. [19:30] hello I have a problem installing sun-java6-jre [19:30] I get Couldn't find package [19:30] hello? [19:30] and the multiverse repos are enabled and did an update [19:30] coz_, look below, it says "try xflux for linux" [19:31] anyone know where I can find a legible list of ubuntu server commands [19:31] VCoolio, will look into it. [19:31] pgpkeys: udf2 returns unknown filesystem type 'udf2' [19:31] ward_: partner repo [19:31] where can I find the info GeekSquid ? [19:31] tdn, hold on [19:31] dirtydevil, otherwise you could try, settings manager -> panel === alema0 is now known as alema0ff [19:31] What do I have to do before I can forward X clients from Ubuntu-Server? === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [19:31] ok then they have udf2 support built into the udf generic module rather than as a seperate support. to ME, it sounds like its an unclosed multisession (whatever app you used might have forgotten to close the session on the DVDR) [19:32] GeekSquid: Making full use of ntfs-3g's UserMapping feature it is entirely possible to get per-file unix-style permissions. I know so because I'm using them right now. [19:32] GeekSquid: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner is enabled [19:32] Soyo: I tried it too [19:32] but that requires you going back and using that app and telling it to close the session ONLY === alema0 is now known as alema0ff [19:32] VCoolio, how do I install that redshift in Ubuntu? [19:32] bushbaby_: seems to load the driver successfully,atleast it doenst say otherwise, can you nopaste the output of the lspci command? maybe we can find out why hardware-drivers didnt suggest you to install this driver [19:33] ward_: sudo apt sun- [19:33] pgpkeys: its not a multisession disk i just burned it today before wiping windows off my machine its just a media backup burned using nero [19:33] where do i create a bug report on the installer? [19:33] GeekSquid: it being autocompleted [19:33] hehe nero is notorious for forgetting to close sessions. that doesn't mean a thing [19:33] bart_: in launchpad i guess? as for all ubuntu bugs [19:33] mgolisch, http://pastebin.com/SiVkHk9P [19:33] bart_: The text installer or the live-cd installer? [19:33] GeekSquid: Ubuntu doesn't enable Posix ACLs or UserMapping by default, and I would guess that's probably one of the reasons that the Ubuntu installer won't let you install to an NTFS filesystem. However, I would imagine that with a proper UserMapping it would be possible to transfer a Ubuntu installation onto an NTFS partition once its been created. [19:33] coz_, ok. [19:34] system404 ~ it could also be just a bad burn [19:34] bart_: On Launchpad [19:34] GeekSquid: E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate [19:34] how do i update my ca root certificates ? [19:34] pgpkeys: it works fine in windows [19:34] Anyone knows how start ubiquty installer from hdd? [19:34] drobizagowy: what?? use Wubi... [19:34] Does anyone have an answer to my question? [19:34] lol.. i'm such a noob... yea... the live cd installer and where the heck is launchpad? [19:34] tdn: there are packages for karmic; if you have lucid, download the .tar.bz, extract, go into folder, then ./configure then make then sudo make install (or use checkinstall if you want a deb and be able to remove later with apt-get or synaptic) [19:34] system404 ~ then i am afraid i have no more clues to offer [19:34] ward_: strange, it should [19:34] !wubi [19:34] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [19:35] Beyecixramd I have remastered system on cd and I want to install it on hdd [19:35] UnderSampled: what was your question? [19:35] Soyo i tried it but still not working [19:35] Beyecixramd: What do I have to do before I can forward X clients from Ubuntu-Server? [19:35] GeekSquid: Yes indeed .. did it before but with clean install of karmic it doesn't work [19:35] drobizagowy: hmmmm im not sure what you mean [19:35] VCoolio, ok. THanks. Will try that. [19:35] GeekSquid: The only issue I can see with that is that Windows might complain about some of the filenames that Ubuntu might create, even though NTFS technically supports them. [19:35] tdn: no wait, there is a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~jonls/+archive/redshift-ppa [19:35] UnderSampled: open ports and such? [19:35] Beyecixramd ubiquity dont start when I launch it from terminal [19:35] hi if i connect to a server via ssh and i know a program is installed there but the command for it doesnt work in the terminal, how can i use the program ? [19:35] dirtydevil, if you go to system -> add/remove and search network manager does it show it as installed? [19:35] Beyecixramd: what do I have to install? [19:35] b0n1: what app? [19:35] drobizagowy: are you sure you installed it? [19:36] bluefish [19:36] Beyecixramd I have it in synaptic [19:36] b0n1: ssh -X user@host [19:36] i did [19:36] UnderSampled: nothing in theory... the X are both client and server... [19:36] not working [19:36] it says command not found [19:36] b0n1: "which bluefish" [19:36] Beyecixramd: huh? [19:36] but the program is installed [19:36] bluefish editor [19:36] drobizagowy: im afraid i have no idea then... try in a terminal or something [19:36] TheMusicGuy: good luck, like I said it isn't supported [19:36] Beyecixramd: hmm let me try something [19:36] b0n1: type that command [19:36] html [19:36] Beyecixramd: Wouldn't you have to set DISPLAY ? [19:36] UnderSampled: what i mean is that you already have the X client and server with the xorg package [19:37] Hi, can someone please help me. I want to replace the contents of my / folder with a backup / folder. How can I do this? [19:37] Soyo: Network Manager and Metwok tools are installed [19:37] the command is usually "bluefish " [19:37] ratcheer: maybe... no idea [19:37] GeekSquid: Needless to say I'm trying this on a virtual machine first :) [19:37] Beyecixramd: does Xorg come with ubuntu-server? [19:37] question: if I has Ubuntu Intrepid installed through wubi, can I install Xubuntu Lucid with wubi without uninstalling it first? [19:37] b0n1: "which bluefish" <---- type THAT command (no quotes) [19:37] oh ok xD [19:37] bushbaby_: the wiki actualy says to install: bcmwl-kernel-source [19:37] UnderSampled: the only servers in earth with graphical display are Mac OS X server and Windws * Server [19:37] bushbaby_: try to install this, then sudo modprobe -r b43 and then try hardware-drivers again [19:37] TheMusicGuy: why not use a virtual disk partition? [19:38] UnderSampled: for the rest, you'll have to install them separately [19:38] it says no bluefish in [19:38] Beyecixramd: yes [19:38] GeekSquid: look like a bug in karmic [19:38] Beyecixramd: which is why I asked what I need to do to be able to forward X [19:38] UnderSampled: I think you need to "export DISPLAY=hostname:0.0: where hostname is the name of the host you want to throw the windows to. [19:38] b0n1: so then the app is not in your $PATH, which is why you can't just type the command name [19:38] Hi, can someone please help me. I want to replace the contents of my / folder with a backup / folder. How can I do this? [19:38] GeekSquid: I can't install windows to a virtual disk without a virtual machine [19:38] but i can use my bluefish right? [19:38] mgolisch, haha so it does! well spotted thanks [19:38] UnderSampled: wait... the ubuntu server box will be the X client or the X server? [19:38] on my pc [19:38] ratcheer: and that doesn't require a copy of X [19:38] ? [19:39] Beyecixramd: the host [19:39] my question? [19:39] how does that work ? [19:39] UnderSampled: TYPO ""export DISPLAY=hostname:0.0" [19:39] Beyecixramd: I am forwarding the program to a windows box with cygwin-X [19:39] * arianit is away: I'm busy [19:39] GeekSquid: the point is not just to get Ubuntu onto an NTFS parition but to get Ubuntu and Windows to Share a partition. [19:39] TheMusicGuy: actualy you can install to a vhd in vista and win7 [19:39] GeekSquid: looks like it was a karmic repos [19:39] ward_: ill be happy to triage, I'm getting coffee and irc'ing from my droid, give me 15 min [19:39] mneptok, you know what i mean? [19:39] Beyecixramd: His server will be the X-client [19:39] can you run games in wine?

[19:40] mgolisch: that [19:40] how can i drag a window to another desktop? it used to work with 9.10 [19:40] mgolisch: that's news to me [19:40] Ok when I start up my ssh to get to my vps is that the area to where I input " sudo apt-get update " [19:40] tertl3: yes, to some degree, see appdb.winehq.com for supported applications and how well they work in wine [19:40] tertl3: most of them.... check the wine hq database [19:40] is anyone answering my question? [19:40] ratcheer: Beyecixramd: I thought an X client was the program you run [19:40] k [19:41] Hi, can someone please help me. I want to replace the contents of my / folder with a backup / folder. How can I do this? [19:41] ash-2plus1<< huh [19:41] ward_: lucid comes with openjava, as it's java, not sure why they did that [19:41] OK, installing flash - Are the swfdec or gnash players any better than adobe? [19:41] UnderSampled: Xorg is both the server and the client. For example, in this nettop im running both server and client (connected to 127.0.0.1) [19:41] sin_tax: better as in free speech... yes, better as in performance improvement... no way [19:42] Beyecixramd, thanks [19:42] Beyecixramd: ok, but the client is the program you run, the server is the screen. right?

The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [19:42] Beyecixramd: so you can forward a client (running on one computer) to the server of annother [19:42] abuayyoub: whats that for? if its wuby why not just replace the whole image file? [19:42] Beyecixramd: right? [19:42] how can i open a file on a server with an app that is only installed on my pc ? [19:42] UnderSampled: hmm... i run the server, and that renders my stuff. and the client interprets it all and displays it [19:43] UnderSampled: no, that's backwards... [19:43] to be concrete i want to open a text file with bluefish [19:43] which is backwards? [19:43] UnderSampled: in the TCP/IP protocol, the server is the one which produces the information [19:43] if I has Ubuntu Intrepid installed through wubi, can I install Xubuntu Lucid with wubi without uninstalling it first? [19:43] UnderSampled: the client interprets and displays it [19:43] but i cant just use the command bluefish host@... [19:43] but xorg doesn't follow those nymonics [19:44] b0n1: you will need to use somekind of networkfilesystem like smb/nfs or access it via ftp [19:44] UnderSampled: yes it does... why wouldn't it? [19:44] mgolisch, i just need a simple command that says move everything in this directory to the root directory overwriting all files and folders.

At all.

(The KDE 4.x file browser) === CaptainTrek is now known as Trek [19:47] Hey Beyecixramd, thanks [19:48] bushbaby_: can you download anything using wget? [19:48] UnderSampled: They are not backwards, that is the design of X [19:48] UnderSampled: hmmm... then everything backwards, answering to your question, yes [19:48] monk: done it? [19:48] Let me try this, but thanks a lot for the helpful pointer [19:48] hm the fish command doesnt work on konqueror ... protocol not supported [19:48] monk: okay, ill sit here === Trek is now known as CaptainTrek [19:48] oh dear that cant be so difficult [19:48] ratcheer: I understand why they name it that way. it just confuses some people [19:48] abuayyoub: you want to move, that won't work if things are mounted, you can cp... with -r recursively [19:48] just want to know if the new version of wubi will nuke the old [19:48] ratcheer: and it makes it hard to talk about X when people are thinking oppositely [19:49] CommunistYoshi: yes [19:49] Hey Beyecixramd, I have one doubt though, I am using Xfce, so I use Thunar, not Nautilus, will the settings still be the same? [19:49] UnderSampled: yes, it confused me for a long time, too. I learned to accept it. [19:49] mgolisch, no i can't they timeout too... [19:49] Oh good, will install xubuntu later [19:49] b0n1: you can just use sshfs [19:49] mgolisch, i'll try reapplying proxy settings [19:49] monk: in Xfce it should be even easier... go to the control panel, and file borwser settings, or something like that [19:49] Anyone, could someone tell me what this mean please| sudo: apt-get: command not found | I cant seem to stop ubuntu from producing this, I cant install anything [19:49] bushbaby_: soething must be wrong with the value of $http_proxy [19:49] b0n1: try "sftp://user@host" in konqueror [19:50] Aazoris_1: remove the : [19:50] okay Beyecixramd [19:50] I am trying that [19:50] mgolisch, It's the correct value as given by the university.. and firefox and xchat work fine with it? [19:50] I love XFCE reminds me of Enlightenment without the overhead [19:50] nice :) it works thank oyu llutz [19:50] 10.04 desktop, System > Preferences > Network Connections - where are the settings saved to? and will they take precedence over /etc/network/interfaces ? [19:50] linuxmonster: i would use E17 if it was more... finished [19:51] ok col thanks [19:51] and there is no way to do that what i want in console ? [19:51] or i mean at least not an easy way [19:51] b0n1: sshfs [19:51] b0n1: using sshfs or "mc" [19:51] Hold on this how I input it exact, im copying it from the ssh window; [root@Anthony ~]# sudo apt-get This is what i did and got the sudo: apt-get not found [19:51] i connect with sshfs on my server [19:51] and then the command bluefish works ? [19:51] Aazoris_1: that seems so f****ed up... [19:51] or how do you mean it [19:52] Aazoris_1: why do you use the sudo command if your root? [19:52] Aazoris_1: dont use sudo if you are root already [19:52] cause they told me to do that [19:52] Aazoris_1: you don't need sudo if you are root [19:52] askhl_: su - [19:52] ok [19:52] er, Aazoris_1 rather. [19:52] So all i need to do is apt-get [19:52] su -, and then try it. /sbin and /usr/sbin likely aren't in your path. [19:53] Aazoris_1 but don't tell "them" you are root, lol [19:53] llutz, did you mean it that way? [19:53] Hey Beyecixramd, thank you so much for the help, it worked [19:53] bushbaby_: what does the value look like? does it start with http:// ? [19:53] monk: ;) [19:53] b0n1: yes [19:53] ok [19:53] hi, i cant update to the new motor anvivirus clamav 0.96.1, and isnt in the repositories ubuntu 10.04 lts [19:53] Aazoris_1 but don't tell "them" you are root, lol ---------- What you mean by that dont tell who [19:54] sshfs is a program i can connect to different servers and use there my own programs? [19:54] mgolisch, http://wwwcache.etcetcetcetc... [19:54] llutz, ? [19:54] Aazoris_1: root is the owner of the system. If someone manages to get root access to your pc, you're lost... [19:54] how ca i update it? [19:54] on port 3128 [19:54] tdn, ok back [19:54] tdn, let me download that and take a look [19:54] Whoever told you you must use sudo [19:54] Aazoris_1: root is more powerful than Administrator in Windows [19:54] b0n1: sshfs allows you to mount remote-hosts to local dirs and work with it [19:54] how i can update it? [19:54] oh ok [19:54] wow [19:54] thats great [19:55] um so how would i use the update would it be like su - update [19:55] Aazoris_1: why are you root on a server when you don't have a single clue what you're doing? [19:55] ciao a tutti [19:55] cant imagine that this is allowed on secure servers [19:55] does anyone know if they fixed gnome power manager to display the amount of time left for a battery for certain laptops [19:55] Aazoris_1: good there are some mods watching over your shoulder and warning you if someone issues a harmful command [19:55] !it | folgo [19:55] folgo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[19:57] thanks [19:57] bushbaby_: you could try getting root using sudo -i, then export http_proxy=http://foo (whatever the correct value is), then apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source without sudo === QaDeS_ is now known as QaDeS [19:57] beycyx i want a antivirus in linux, because i like to have a antivirus open source like clamav [19:58] !av [19:58] clamav is packaged for ubuntu [19:58] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [19:58] bushbaby_: or its a problem with the proxy, maybe it filters by user agent and block requests from wget [19:58] notmorewindows: ClamAV is nice, and ClamTK will act as the GU. [19:58] mgolisch, i'll try that [19:58] hi all. yesterday, i freshly installed 10.4 on a new machine and did a system update. after rebooting, i was stuck in the grub shell. is this a known problem? if so, can anybody point me to a more info? [19:58] soyo ~ that may be, but many people store windows files under linux as well. great time to scan them\ [19:58] <||arifaX> notmorewindows: avast works good but is proprietary clam is good, too. currently I do not know of a on-access scanner [19:58] if i run xine at boot i have toolbar up and down. Whay? [19:59] pgpkeys, good point [19:59] arifax avast for linux now has problems with their bases virus and dont work in linux [19:59] just wondering, is there a way to fool an user to run *something* not very suspicious to trash his computer instantly in Windows? (just like issuing sudo rm -rf /*) [19:59] i dont agree wit the bot on that one. I still think having a AV program in Linux is a good thing [19:59] notmorewindows: Also, after using ClamAV and ClamTK, be sure to install Nautilus-clamscan extension. That will add "Scan For Viruses" in your right-click menu, making scan easier. [20:00] mgolisch, the commands give the exact same output as before [20:00] Beyecixramd: just wondering, what the heck does that have to do with Ubuntu? [20:00] notmorewindows: why would you need an on-access virus scanner ON LINUX?! [20:00] !ot >Beyecixramd: [20:00] linuxmonster: I agree with you. [20:00] thinking of getting a ASUS nvidia GF 210 card, how do i check compatibilty [dont have hardware yet]? [20:00] Beyecixramd: you are the suspicious, stop that [20:00] LjL: okay... [20:00] Soyo, So if I wanted to do something like " sudo apt-get update " would be like su - root update or how would I go about putting desktop on there. Or is it impossible. [20:00] Can anybody tell me why I'm getting these errors at the end of this pastebin? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/D11Ur7yq [20:00] lxg, a simple fix I did was go into your bios and switch the 1st and 2nd hard disc around and that should fix it if you have multipal disks in your box. Weird but it works [20:01] rocket yesss, but i need to update the motor antivirus the clamav because clamtk say it [20:01] hey [20:01] dagon: sounds weird, but i'll have a look at the options the bios offers me :) thx so far [20:01] notmorewindows: Sure, but Fresh Clam automtically does that [20:01] Beyecixramd, because a lot of users import files from unkown or trust3ed sources. i have seen users use sudo like it was a piece of candy and will install just about anything no ?'s askes [20:01] rhythmbox used to mount my ipod touch just fine, but now it doesn't... I can't think of any changes I've made that would affect that, so does anyone have any ideas about what to do? [20:02] Roasted_: because your proxy server blocks the url? [20:02] You still here Soyo [20:02] if i run xine at boot i have toolbar up and down. Whay? [20:02] mgolisch, shouldn't be. [20:02] lxg, no problem I hope the switch around works. I did that because of the same issue because I have two drives in my box and for some reason the GRUB did not like the original order of the disks [20:02] beyecix because is cool to have an antivirus open source like clamtk, or clamav ok [20:02] Also, certain Windows viruses remain in Linux, and remain inactive, but as soon as we exchange files with Windows, they are infected, causing Windows users to blame us to be evil users. [20:02] Roasted_: Location: http://ls-server01.solanco.k12.pa.us/contentfiltering/blocked.aspx?id=2092823670999175061 [following] [20:02] So, an AV for linux is nice. [20:02] mgolisch, let me over-ride and run it again [20:02] Heck I install ClamAV even on friens Windows machines, its just that good [20:03] linuxmonster ~ hehe only place i install no questions asked from are GPG keyed repositories for ubuntu :) or mediubuntu. seen way too many users do exactly what you described and their systems get trashed [20:03] Better to use su command than sudo [20:03] linuxmonster ~ for a free one sure. for an excellent scanner to pay for.. NOD32 ftw === marc__ is now known as Guest25405 [20:03] windows, freensd, mac, and linux. solid scanner, better than mcaffee, symantec, and a slew of others [20:04] clamav doenst have on-access scanning does it? [20:04] rocket16: You can have an AV on Linux but majority of the AV software for Linux checks for Windows viruses that you may have just stored on your Linux box to minamize the chance of infecting another machine. Linux by itself is really solid and safe [20:04] s/nsd/bsd/ [20:04] i use the addons firefox fireclam with clam and i nedd the new motor antivirus clamav 0.96.1 help me please... [20:04] so its kinda useless to "protect" a windows system [20:04] a virus scanner for linux, hey that's cool [20:04] pgpkeys, ya know whats scarier I see users all the time not even bother to check the MD5 checksum on files they have no idea who created them or what they do. They just like to install stuff for no real need at all [20:04] in 2 years ive never had a virus on linux... and i end up on some scary sights [20:04] mgolisch ~ you have to install the daemon for that [20:04] coz_, but should I just run a binary like that? [20:04] i allways use avira [20:04] dagon: Sure, I agree woth you. Linux's architechture is nearly impenetrable to viruses. Also, Linus's law helps us. [20:04] tdn, well i see no other way to run that [20:04] So I take it im alone on this one [20:04] I call it the windows complex. just point click and "lets see what this does" lol [20:04] linuxmonster ~ hehe well i do that from the main repositories only, but that's cause i like to try out different software even though I truly have no use for most of it === neutrino is now known as tar- [20:05] seems like my question got lost. how do i check if a nvidia card will be compatible with ubuntu or not? [20:05] how do I make sure that GLX is used when I X forward with SSH? [20:05] pgpkeys, for a payware Antivirus for windows ESET for the win [20:06] diffarant: what card do you have? [20:06] linuxmonster ~ that's NOD32 :) [20:06] i m a fan tools antivirus and i want to have the new motor antivirus open source clamav is a desire for me [20:06] ah ijust call it ESET lol [20:06] UnderSampled: aehm, why? [20:06] www.eset.com is responsible for NOD32 [20:06] linuxmonster ~ ahhh i got ya [20:06] same thing, different term [20:06] shazzam6999: i am going for a new corei7 based system, and will get a basic ASUS nvidia GF210 512 MB one [20:06] mgolisch: I am trying to forward a program that uses opengl over ssh [20:07] Hi, how to grep just words with a hyphen? [20:07] mgolisch: and it is incredibly slow [20:07] opengl over ssh? isn't that too much overhead? [20:07] UnderSampled: that doenst work [20:07] llutz, how can i install sshfs ? [20:07] what package is it ? [20:07] apt-get install sshfs ? [20:07] hey , i just tried to update ubuntu to latest version , Now i am getting a error :the symbol grub_puts not found , grub rescue...can someone tell me what to do? [20:07] UnderSampled: its fast localy because the grafics card does the opengl that cant wok over x11 forwarding [20:07] b0n1: yes [20:07] shazzam6999: if i can verify against a list which series of nvidia cards work i can then buy one of those instead [20:07] man, i swear this xfs filesystem is slow as hell. I had much greater speed with none of this IO slowdown crap under ext4, but man let my laptop crash.. the fs would gak. switched to xfs and haven't had a problem since.. except for this constant disk lag grr [20:07] mgolisch: could you say that again please? [20:08] why the motor clamav is so dificult to update in ubuntu linux [20:08] diffrant: its easy to google... but unless you're getting like a fermi 480 it should be fine anyways [20:08] but the fs handles system crashes and battery deaths a hell of a lot better :) [20:08] lets see [20:08] notmorewindows ~ you need to install clam-freshclam and/or the daemon whicdh will do it automatically for you [20:08] mgolisch, thanks for your help i'll try again another time! [20:08] Aazoris_1: why are you root on a server when you don't have a single clue what you're doing? | also its a first time for everyone, everyone has been in the n00b seat, plus I may not know to much about Linux/Ubuntu Server management but I am quite fond of Windows... [20:08] pgpkeys, I forget what FS i used on my server I think its RiserFS [20:08] UnderSampled: hardware accelerated opengl is impossible using x11 forwarding [20:09] my account is not in the sudoers file ? [20:09] wtf is that? [20:09] linuxmonster ~ this is on my laptop. [20:09] b0n1: ask your admin to add you [20:09] i should be my admin shouldnt it ? [20:09] b0n1: means you don't have administrator privileges.. [20:09] its my computer xD [20:09] b0n1: did you remove yourself from the admin group? [20:09] b0n1: Please mind your language. By default the first user is in the admin group and the admin group is in sudoers. [20:09] mgolisch: the wikipedia page on GLX ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLX ) says that the client and server may be run on different computers [20:09] b0n1: okay, then you have to modify your /etc/sudoers file [20:09] ? [20:09] b0n1 ~ means you added a user and didn't put them in the sudoers file. use visudo to add that new user. [20:10] man visudo for more info [20:10] eeew the bad advice [20:10] ok [20:10] pgpkeys i have installed freshclam but i havent installed the daemon [20:10] b0n1: don't add stuff to sudoers unless you're sure you need to. first, ensure your user is a member of the 'admin' group. type "groups" to see. [20:11] anyone...little help here.. [20:11] What's the problem?? [20:11] b0n1: if you can use visudo /change sudoers, you should be able to install software. both needs root [20:11] arbeitsaccount adm cdrom tape plugdev fuse sambashare [20:11] ljl Uhh if he wants that user to be able to do stuff, it's NOT bad advise. the ubuntu installer automatically adds the first user you created in the intsallation process to the sudo file for you. it doesn't do that for subsequent users [20:11] UnderSampled: did you actualy read the whole article? it states clearly that direct access to the graphics hardware is only possible if client and server on the same machinbe [20:11] krishno: i just tried to update ubuntu to latest version , Now i am getting a error :the symbol grub_puts not found , grub rescue...can someone tell me what to do? [20:11] ubuntu disables root by default and requires that your user be in the sudo file [20:11] pgpkeys: No it does not. It adds the admin group to the sudoers file. [20:12] pgpkeys: no it doesn't. it add that user to the "admin" grop, and *that group* is in sudoers. [20:12] is there anyway to not allow somebody to obtain access to my / root filesystem through the chroot? i mean someone with ubuntu live boot trying do that.. [20:12] usage: visudo [-c] [-q] [-s] [-V] [-f sudoers] [20:12] mgolisch: direct access. of course. that means that it doesn't go through X at all [20:12] How do I go up a directory via ssh ubuntu command like in windows its cd ... [20:12] full disk encryptino would prevent that. :) [20:12] * pgpkeys arches an eyebrow and shuffles off to check his config [20:12] mgolisch: (or glx) [20:12] b0n1: you modified your groups and kicked yourself out of admin... [20:12] b0n1: DON'T touch sudoers unless you know you need to. check what i told you to check first please. [20:12] Aazoris_1: cd .. [20:13] its the same as windows [20:13] i did LjL [20:13] that was the output [20:13] arbeitsaccount adm cdrom tape plugdev fuse sambashare [20:13] b0n1: so the user is not a member of the admin group, and for that matter it looks like it's also not a member of a lot of groups that it probably should be. is this the first user created on the system? [20:14] i have 2 accounts and on the one account i have sudo rights that is sure [20:14] nope [20:14] b0n1: use that account then [20:14] * pgpkeys looks abashed as he stands corrected after looking at the sudoers file [20:14] krishno:any idea.. [20:14] ok but i need to use sudo often now in that account [20:14] ljl ~ forgive. I did in fact give bad advise [20:15] UnderSampled: yeah thats why its that slow because direct rendering cant be used if client and server are on different machines [20:15] heya, could anyone give me a hand with trying to get usb 3G device working? [20:15] man Dos is so much easier than this... [20:15] but i think i got the problem [20:15] I feel like I'm close [20:15] but it's tricky [20:15] b0n1: use that account then to add your 2nd user to group "admin" if you really need... "sudo adduser admin" [20:15] aazoris_1 ~ and dos doesn't have ANYWHERE near the power :) [20:15] I've used an ATT 3g usb in ubuntu [20:15] alright [20:15] Aazoris_1: You may want to take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal if you need help navigating with the terminal. [20:15] Aazoris_1: pgpkeys is right, DOS isnt powerful. Linux CLI is powerful [20:15] worked great [20:15] b0n1: then go into the first account, and "sudo adduser account2 admin" [20:15] hm, i am still stuck in the grub shell when booting after an update. does anybody have an idea what could be wrong? [20:16] b0n1: but keep in mind you should probably create users using the GUI, as that will make the user a member of important groups for you automatically - while now it probably isn't [20:16] Thanks been looking for something like that [20:16] ok [20:16] captaintrek ~ well to be more specific, the shell is more powerful than the dos command.com :) (zsh, bash, et al) [20:16] pgpkeys: same difference [20:16] if anyone is able to help me with my phone/3g modem problem that would be cool :) it's a skypephone S2 [20:16] :) [20:17] ssh -X is your friend :) [20:18] Hi all, I installed mysql in ubuntu and I notice that when I reboot the service automatically runs. How Can I disable the service to run everytime I reboot? [20:18] !who | linuxmonster [20:18] linuxmonster: 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 :) [20:18] you know those wonderful howtos on ubuntu.com -- how would I write one of those -- I mean whether or not it gets hosted I guess is a different story but, is there a style guide or something? [20:18] okay so i see many nvidia cards have linux drivers [not ubuntu specific though] so is it safe to assume any model that has a linux driver 'should' work under ubuntu? [20:18] anyone good with 3g modems and stuff via usb ._. [20:19] diffrant: nvidia works great in ubuntu [20:19] I just figured out how to do custom keyboard layouts the proper way in ubuntu [20:19] dagon: i only have one drive, but i agree that sometimes it's bios madness that makes the bootloader behave strange [20:19] Youresorock, ATI works also just fine also [20:19] dagon: but in this case, everything seems to be fine [20:19] Youresorock: that is good news. i am getting a new system & plan to use ubuntu fulltime so :) [20:20] dagon: the strange thing is, i could reboot without problems after the install [20:20] to be true ubuntu took me away from mac osx [way costly stuff] [20:20] dagon: it seems that it was the update that borked the bootloader [20:20] blue_anna: you are welcome to create an account @ wiki.ubuntu.com , where we have community created documentation, it is a wiki, and has an easy way to format your howtos, [20:20] diffrant: just be sure to use the built-in ubuntu hardware-drivers install thing [20:20] GeekSquid: yeah, I can do wikis :) [20:20] I just wish though that ATI would release driver updates faster, but thats probably true with Nvidia aswell. I mean the latest I saw last I checked for ATI was CCC 9.10 for Linux [20:20] Youresorock: will remember :) [20:21] blue_anna: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Wiki [20:21] blue_anna: good one, kb layouts... you might also create a ubottu trigger to put your page up here when the question is asked about keyboard layouts [20:21] Hey, I've got two nfs4 shares listed in my /etc/fstab, both with the options "tcp,intr,_netdev" ... They never mount at boot, but as soon as I 'mount -a' they appear just fine. My first guess is that it's trying to get the filesystems up before networking is ready. Am I missing a required mount option? [20:21] oh and a question, what is the best way to install a Karmic kernel in Lucid? [20:21] adding the whole repo, or? [20:22] Subby: grep '-' [20:22] ahy is it that ubuntu can easily use my 3rd monitor for console/splash screens, but then has a problem using it for just a regular third monitor? [20:22] hi [20:22] funkyHat: it was \w+-\w+ :) [20:22] hi world [20:23] MACscr_lappy: how did you connect 3 monitors? [20:23] :@ [20:23] why is too difficult to fix my monitor resolution on ubuntu 10.04 [20:23] i cant update to the new motor antivirus clamav 0.96.1 in ubuntu lts [20:23] ??

If I add a soundcard will Ubuntu auto find it or will it require me to do advanced configuration? [20:58] hello all [20:58] hy [20:58] my system told me it was going to fsck my disks, so wanting to see what it was doing, i pressed Escape... and i see a prompt saying something threatening like: "PARTITION IS MOUNTED! IF YOU CONTINUE YOU !!! WILL !!! LOSE DATA!!!! Continue? (y,n) ", but i couldn't give any input [20:58] guntbert, got it. [20:58] guntbert, just added the PPA for thunderbird 3. now it opens.

[21:00] can anybody recommend me a linux distro? [21:00] Aazoris: in my opinion you did something to break some things in your system when you enabled the root account - my crystal ball doesn't tell what those are - so its hard to help you, sorry [21:01] Agu10: ubuntu [21:01] @search Rachel Gibson [21:01] hi guys, I cannot for the life of me remember the single command for installing LAMP on a server AFTER the initial install. anyone? [21:01] IdleOne: have you had any problems with lucid keeping file associations, system settings such as visual settings and ufw enabled settings ? [21:01] xangua: but I've had many errors when using ubuntu [21:01] jester7: tasksel [21:02] Jester2: sudo tasksel [21:02] Aazoris: Better to reinstall Ubuntu, since it takes only a while. Backup your data, and do the installation, then everything will be perfect. Unfortunately we don't have repair option in Ubuntu. [21:02] nice! thanks guys [21:02] dominicdinada: not that I have noticed [21:02] Agu10 sure, Ubuntu is great, i use an offshoot Ultimate Edition 2.6 but also use Lucid for my wife it's pretty easy :) [21:02] Apothecary, Ultimate Edition? is it good? [21:02] isn't it old? [21:02] 2.6 is new [21:03] ok [21:03] I'll give it a look [21:03] Apothecary, ultimate is good if you dont mind accepting and using a ton of restricted apps and modules and plugins [21:03] just came out in last couple weeks [21:03] linuxmonster, well, I don't mind, ;) [21:03] Agu10: It is nice, but you unofficial. Another good distro is UberStudent, 2.3 GB. [21:04] Agu10: Sorry, I meant "is unofficial" [21:04] rocket16, why? [21:04] ooh havent checked out UberStudent [21:04] I have Qcad installed, but it doesn't show up under "Applications." It will open if I type in Qcad, but I would like it listed in Applications too. [21:04] the problem with ubuntu is it sometimes doesn't start the X server for example [21:04] Agu10: Sorry friend, I mistyped. I meant "it is nice, but is unofficial" [21:04] yeah there's a glitch with the -22 kernel so if you do everything under the -21 kernel in the 64 bit system it seems to work well [21:04] ddclient and upstart, anybody ? [21:04] I'm running it from the pendrive [21:04] davi just ask in channel please i dont accept DCC or private messages unless invited [21:05] Agu10, try the -21 kernel with lucid if you use x64 version [21:05] How can I install Ubuntu on a laptop with no cd drive and no boot from USB support?

[21:10] Hi [21:10] /w 10 [21:10] hello. i'm using windows vista (yes, don't laugh too much) and i'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 via Wubi. i do not wish to use any other installation method, e.g. via .iso. i've tried many wubi EXEs and none seem to work for me [21:10] any suggestions? [21:10] puchat3k: just joined. Parentol controls that kind of thing?

Is there a good way to work around this? [21:12] Is there a 64 bit lightning extension compatible with Thunderbird 3 PPA known as Shredder? [21:12] paul__: Don't go to them? [21:12] charles____: Windows must be on the C drive for Wubi, also a partitioned install is much better in the long run, from the Live CD [21:12] Cityscape: I think his way is easier. But I haven't tried that, :( [21:12] raving: do you have the dev files ( headers ) mesa, glut etc... [21:13] rocket16: okay, thanks for your help [21:13] Cityscape: My pleasure, :) [21:13] !java > Cynthia [21:13] Cynthia, please see my private message [21:13] has anyone experienced a slow running system after installing nvidia drivers [21:13] DaSkreech: stay helpful please [21:13] guntbert: :-) [21:13] Hi all! Desperately need help with installation of virtualbox-3.2 on ubuntu server edition, i keep getting: http://pastebin.com/cYptChRf [21:13] ("Beroende av:" means "Depends of:" and "kommer att installeras" means "will be installed".... the swedish channel is lifeless... [21:13] Does anyone know how I can figure out if a card reader works ? [21:13] boa tarde gente [21:14] sebsebseb: my wubi910.exe (i've tried various revisions) complains: "Can not download the metalink and therefore the ISO" [21:14] erUSUL, yes, I have libgl1-mesa-dev installed [21:14] charles____, Have you tried with the wubi1004.exe ? [21:14] NorthByNorthWest: uhmm the server editin isn't meant to run a graphical user interface [21:14] !server | NorthByNorthWest [21:14] NorthByNorthWest: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [21:14] edbian: possibly. where can i get it. i can't seem to find it here [21:14] i would prefer the 1004 installation lol [21:14] try the Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 may have some luck with that [21:15] sebsebseb: argh! yeah of course! QT packages are GUI stuff! [21:15] erUSUL, I don't have libglut-dev installed, but I haven't been linking against glut [21:15] NorthByNorthWest: especially libqt4-opengl [21:15] charles____, All I did was google it [21:15] !kvm | NorthByNorthWest [21:15] NorthByNorthWest: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [21:15] charles____, http://wubi-installer.org/ [21:15] ok ty [21:15] raving: if you have the dev files installed then i dunno what may be happening [21:15] NorthByNorthWest: not sure about KVM, but I think you can use that on the server edition === tobias is now known as Guest23187 [21:16] sebsebseb: but I have VMs that needs virtualbox... [21:16] IT seems to work in Windows but that of course means very little [21:16] NorthByNorthWest: right well then you also need a GUI [21:16] sebsebseb: i think ill have a look at the virtualbox homepage! [21:16] NorthByNorthWest: why on the server edition if needing a GUI? [21:16] sebsebseb: I dont! :) [21:16] sebsebseb: I want to run it headless! [21:17] erUSUL, I will try doing a symlink from libGL.so.1 to libGL.so, perhaps that will work [21:17] NorthByNorthWest, you could install the gnome desktop [21:17] sebsebseb: and i did, and all was good but then i screwed things up... :P [21:17] ok, i just tried wubu1004 and i still get the same error message "Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO" [21:17] NorthByNorthWest: ask in #vbox [21:17] NorthByNorthWest: If you want to run virtual servers in a headless configuration, kvm with libvirt is a much better plan than vbox. It can load virtualbox images afaik. [21:17] :( [21:17] NorthByNorthWest: maybe you can get help in #vbox [21:17] charles____, Are you online on this machine? [21:17] edbian: yes, i'm sure. [21:17] Mikel: why is kvm better? [21:17] charles____, Out of curiosity why do you need wubi? Why not the live CD ? [21:18] edbian, i'm not able to burn CDs at this time [21:18] NorthByNorthWest, More robust, more stable, no need for a GUI [21:18] erUSUL, doing the symlink worked; do you think that I should file a bug report? [21:18] edbian: is it easy to configure it to run an old vbox VM? [21:18] charles____, I don't want to press the issue but there are other ways of installing ubuntu. Do you want to hear about them? [21:19] raving: if you did not used any third party software in your machineM; yes. [21:19] NorthByNorthWest, Dunno, never done it. [21:19] edbian: I have som vbox experience but no kvm,,, [21:19] Hey guys, I just started loving ubuntu a little more. Thanks for updating the LXDE packages with 10.04 [21:19] edbian: ok [21:19] hi [21:19] hey charles fair warning with Wubi, grub updates tend to kill access to the distro, least that's been my experience [21:19] i'm trying to follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation to get pulse-jack to install [21:19] but i keep getting package not found [21:19] i've installed the lucid ppa [21:19] erUSUL, well I suppose NVidia-glx would count as third party software since its restricted, right? [21:19] charles____, [21:19] and apt-get update sees the new repo, but i still can't find pulse-jack [21:20] charles____, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [21:20] ok ty [21:20] raving: if it is the packaged version i wont count it as third party. [21:20] quit [21:20] erUSUL, ahh, OK. Then yes, this was all retrieved from apt [21:20] raving: it woud be different if you used envyng or the *.run from nvidia's site [21:20] Hallo? [21:21] DaSkreech, hello [21:21] Hello, I am new to Linux. I am running Ultimate Linux 2.5 64bit. I would like some help updating adobe-plugin. Please help [21:21] !ultimate | bunker85 [21:21] bunker85: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes; please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ultimate Edition [21:21] bunker85, Wrong channel! This is support for ubuntu [21:21] hey bunker ummm you got an email addy? [21:21] hello! [21:21] I'm looking for the file where you saved the list of thumbnail nautilus, "someone knows?

[21:22] iMonje: /home/YOURUSER/.thumbnails/normal [21:22] edbian: ah they already left, we should recommend Ubuntu to people like that really, I guess [21:23] is this normal, I got a AMD X2 64 5000+ Dual Core and always one of my cores will run like 90-100% and the other core will be at only like 10% load max, here is a screen shot --> http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4303/ [21:23] sebsebseb, Yeah. In the future [21:23] I am using ubuntu 10.04 [21:23] sebsebseb, I love linux! :) [21:23] Cynthia, Yes, there are the images, but where is the list or xml? [21:23] Bluetooth doesnt work for me anymore. Why is that? [21:23] edbian: the unoffical versionse of Ubuntu, or Ubuntu based distros, tend to be quite pointless really, when being compared to Ubuntu [21:23] anyone was able to fix pastebinit script [21:24] !bluetooth [21:24] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [21:24] iMonje: There is no list. The filenames are one-way hashed, and when Nautilus wants to find a thumbnail, it hashes the file name and looks in there. [21:24] sebsebseb, I would imagine so. They do what? just switch out the packages that are installed by default? [21:24] iMonje: (+) I believe that's by design, for privacy purposes or such [21:24] edbian: being clear I don't mean, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Lubuntu. I mean stuff like Ultimate edition [21:24] edbian: and Mint [21:24] Hey everybody [21:24] sebsebseb, Mint adds something that others don't [21:24] sebsebseb: Lubuntu is supported? [21:24] what would be the easiest way to install ubuntu directly only a hard disk? i have an old laptop that won't properly boot from USB, yet doesn't have an optical [21:25] A simple thing...is there a trick to get the border to appear in a screenshot when you select to snapshot a window? It would be under 9.10 I believe [21:25] i can pull the hard disk out and easily plug it into another windows computer [21:25] Cynthia: I read that Lubuntu will be offically recognized and supported and that starting with 10.10 [21:25] sebsebseb, But generally I agree that plain Ubuntu (Or K- or X- or whatever) is far superior. Of course if you wanna talk about derivatives Ubuntu is a deriv of Debian ;) [21:25] Oh, awesome :D [21:25] edbian: were you saying yesterday that free -m shows much more RAM usage than should be? [21:25] i just upgrade my laptop to 10.04. i had radio scrennlet but stoped playing. any idea? [21:25] Cynthia: i'll get you a link hold on [21:25] bastid_raZor, Hi! I recall talking about that vaguely. Why? [21:25] is this normal, I got a AMD X2 64 5000+ Dual Core and always one of my cores will run like 90-100% load on CPU and the other core will be at only like 10% load max, here is a screen shot --> http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4303/ [21:26] edbian: well yes, and Debian can be better than Ubuntu, depends on user and hardware etc. However I don't like Mint, so I won't recommend it :) [21:26] Spunkym3nkey: Bad url? [21:26] I'm still having trouble with my fstab under Lucid. During bootup, it spits out "mount.nfs4: no such device" and my shares don't appear in the filesystem. When i 'mount -a' they appear just fine. I assume that init is just trying to do things in the wrong order, but the documentation for 'mountall' just doesn't give much on how to tweak this order. [21:26] Spunkym3nkey: Invalid URL, infinite HTTP redirection loop. [21:26] hey all - If I change /var/log/mail.log into a symlink pointing to /data/logs/mail.log what would happen when the logger archives the logs? Is there a better way to change all the mail.* log locations? [21:26] Cynthia, thanks [21:26] anyone was able to fix pastebinit script [21:26] I will upload again [21:27] When I click on my network manager I get this error: The interface does not exist, Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system [21:27] edbian: Wow just got the last 10 minutes of network traffic in one rush [21:27] edbian: i don't know if this will have an effect on your end and i know it sounds a bit off the wall.. i disable splash and quiet and i have noticed about 80MB less usuage directly after boot and honestly i appear to have less RAM usage overall.. 342MB now after 2 days uptime. before it would be around 500MB. it may be unrelated but that is all i changed [21:27] <[AWE]> Hi does anyone know if there's an apache2 specific channel? or can I ask here? I'm trying to set up apache2 and so far all I'm getting is 403 Forbidden [21:27] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 [21:27] is this normal, I got a AMD X2 64 5000+ Dual Core and always one of my cores will run like 90-100% load on CPU and the other core will be at only like 10% load max, here is a screen shot --> http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/7618/screenshotss.png [21:27] [AWE]: httpd [21:27] there we go fixed link [21:27] [AWE]: There are #apache [21:27] interesting considering Ultimate Edition is nsebsebseb... depends on ones prefrences is all i just know i get less compatibility issues with UE... anywho.... i guess all that programing TheeMan does himself is just package switching, on top of his own proggies he gives with it [21:28] later [21:28] Hi guys. I'm trying to update an ubuntu 8.04 vhost to 10.04. I followed the official instructions but the system ends up being stuck on bootup. In the control panel of the host system you can see that there are only two processes running. init and plymouthd. I cannot get any output of the boot process (I don't control the host) so I'd be grateful for any pointer you can give me. Thanks. [21:28] I have a USB FM radio, and the manual for it says that: "Because Windows has built-in drivers for USB audio and HID class devices, the USB FM Radio does not require an OEM supplied driver disk for operation. The player executable is the only required user software. A similar approach is possible for other operating systems, if they have built-in support for these two USB device classes." Does this apply to Ubuntu too? [21:28] echo "hello chat room" [21:28] Cynthia: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/04/lubuntu-not-joining-ubuntu-family-until.html [21:28] bastid_raZor, I assume that splash is what did most of it. Can't imagine why though! Maybe one or both of those has a memory leak? Can you absolutely nail it down to that? Can you show it's only one of them and not the other or is it only both together? [21:28] edbian: just as a test you could try and see if any thing is changes on your end... possibly not having to load the splash images and what not. [21:28] DaSkreech, ha ha [21:28] so anyone able to tell me what's wrong? [21:29] salut [21:29] sebsebseb: that article seems to say that it won't become one :) [21:29] is there any bardcode reader for ubuntu, where I could enter barcode number and it would display where my product was made ant ect? [21:29] Cynthia: 10.10 is when it will [21:29] Does anyone know how I can figure out if a card reader works ? [21:29] Cynthia here is the link sorry about that http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/7618/screenshotss.png [21:29] maybe I'm not here? [21:29] Spunkym3nkey: Look at Processes -- See which linux process taking up the whole thing. [21:29] UT8F: Any barcode reader will work fine. They just send keyboard codes [21:30] Spunkym3nkey: please provide a screenshot of the Processes tab, or the 'top' command in a terminal [21:30] red2kic ok [21:30] I did nothing shows red2kid [21:30] edbian: i have not tested each individually but i have booted 4 times both ways. RAM is down with quiet splash off [21:30] bastid_raZor, Unfortunately I'm running debian stable 5. I don't actually have an ubuntu system up and running! L( [21:30] redkic* [21:30] gnome-system-monitor is taking up the most cpy [21:30] cpu [21:30] Cynthia: the url at the end has until [21:30] red2kic [21:30] edbian: i assume debian has splash and quiet as kernel parameters.

[21:37] Spunkym3nkey: did you run system testing, then? if so, just sudo kill 12791 [21:38] bastid_raZor: and how do I use it to find the device?

[21:38] dotnetted: the installer, do you mean wubi ? [21:38] Cynthia, yeah last night after some updates. I probably check for updates and do a reboot, thanks for the help though. [21:38] [AWE]: /etc [21:39] Spunkym3nkey: you're welcome [21:39] Any one knows?

(instead of the directory the symlinks point to) [21:40] dotnetted: yes, it will follow the symlink === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [21:41] I need simple answer :) [21:41] dotnetted: the installer doesn't download anything, so unless you can explain what you mean by installer (wubi ?) I can't give you one [21:41] Give us a simple question then. [21:41] bastid_raZor, I just tried with and without "quiet" I see no difference in ram. I don't have splash (or a splash screen) so I can't test that part of it. [21:41] ikonia ubiquity [21:42] ikonia: just to make sure : if I make /var/log/mail.log a symlink to /logs/mail.log then would logrotate create the archived logfile in /var/log or /logs? [21:42] drobiazgowy: that's a mozilla product isn't it ? [21:42] edbian: my best guess is the splash images are taking the RAM up. thanks for testing [21:42] ikonia that is the ubuntu live cd installer [21:42] drobiazgowy: /logs [21:42] is there a way I could disable keyboard input with a key combo and also re-enable it with same key combo? [21:42] oops [21:42] dotnetted: /logs [21:43] ikonia installer download some packges, I skipped it , And I want to install them now [21:43] drobiazgowy: then it downloads nothing [21:43] ikonia 20 packages [21:43] drobiazgowy: the ubuntu installer doesn't download anything before the install is completed [21:43] bastid_raZor, That's gotta be it. Or the software changed. My kernel is about 2 years older than ubuntu 10.04 but with patches [21:43] ikonia bEfore langauge packages [21:43] drobiazgowy: i think language packages is all it downloads [21:44] edbian: i guess you're not a good one to test it on then. :P [21:44] drobiazgowy: ubuquity is not ubiquity :( [21:44] has anyone had issues with 3 button mouse emulation in lucid? it keeps getting turned on so my right+left click acts as middle mouse.......anyone know where i can stop this from randomly happening?

Documentation shows I need either nvidia-173 or nvidia-96. How do I determine which is the right one? (I did try google) My card is NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200. (I have a powerbook g4) [21:49] knxville: transmission is installed by default and does it's job [21:49] GeekSquid, well it doesn't do it too well :P [21:50] guys, I have a dilemma. I have a raid 5, /dev/md0 device, I would like to set up one giant Luks protected partition. Should i first partition the md0 and then apply luks to that or luks to the md0 device and then just mkfs on it, without partitioning? [21:50] mac_linux_: i had that card a year or so ago.. i 'think' the 96 version is the correct one. [21:50] Hi, anyone with squid to give some pointers on how to use squid with authentication ?

Having installed and launched it for the first time, I received this error dialog telling me that Mplayer was old/out of date and to update it. As far as I know mplayer in repos is the latest [21:51] spydon: does everything I need, and for most users it is fine... although if you want to do alot of things with torrents, and are doing it all the time, there are other programs that have additional features [21:51] http://yfrog.com/jpscreenshotutp [21:51] two of you are giving me different answers! :-) [21:51] livingdaylight: on what version [21:51] knxville, I would recommend deluge or azureus if you want torrent applications that are more effective then transmission [21:51] ikonia, lucid [21:51] ikonia, i chose to do the latter, but mkfs told me this: /dev/mapper/archive alignment is offset by 61440 bytes. [21:51] This may result in very poor performance, (re)-partitioning suggested. [21:52] mac_linux_,open the nvidia site [21:52] GeekSquid, it's not just the features, it doesn't connect to peers as effective as many other torrent applications [21:52] fx: a.) how big is the partition b.) what file system did you use [21:52] livingdaylight: looks like it's outdated already [21:52] HELP HELP!!

[21:53] olivr: I'm not laughin [21:53] livingdaylight: I've not looked, but that warning sugggests so [21:53] fx: ah, have you put a non-dos partition table on it ? [21:54] ikonia, why does smplayer complain bout a lack of the newest version of Mplyer rather than let me know that a newer version of smplayer is available. That smplayer is outdated rather than Mplayer? [21:54] fx: partitions bigger than (2TB - or it maybe 1) benifit from non-dos partition tables [21:54] ikonia, i have not partitioned md0, because i though LUKS grabs it first and creates /dev/mapper/archive [21:54] livingdaylight: I don't know, ask the smplayer developers [21:54] ikonia, that warning suggests that Mplayer is outdated [21:55] fx: I'm not sure of luks limitations to be honest but with that size partitions, I'd put a partition table on it first, even if it's just one big partition [21:55] How do you install the latest version of python? === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening [21:55] ah, i will try, thanks, ikonia [21:57] ikonia, do you know if cfdisk can do guid partition tables (I assume thats what your refering to when you say non-dos partition tables) === Ali_G is now known as Bill_ [21:58] ikonia, where/how do i ask the smplayer developers?

[22:26] No mine is custom [22:26] i didnt do the cheap 1 [22:26] did you pay for support? [22:26] As well, running lspci doesn't seem to list my device, either. [22:26] :) [22:26] guys, this is an ubuntu support channel, maybe #ubuntu-offtopic is better for chatting about your VPS limitations [22:26] However, the N adapter was automatically detected and worked flawlessly upon initial install. [22:27] GeekSquid, imho it's a matter of opinion whether sudoing or real root account is better [22:27] support is free [22:27] Anybody? [22:27] Hello, could someone who use nvidia GT9XXX, inform me the frame late in glxgears? [22:27] and I was having Ubuntu problems not vps problems [22:27] BluShift: you got both network cards installed? probably a IRQ or port address conflict, my first guess anyway [22:27] btr: other peoples framerate doesn't matter, what's your problem ? [22:27] btr: You should be getting 1000+ [22:28] Aazoris: yes, sure, he was just asking to keep it about the ubuntu problems rather than the vps-specific discussion. [22:28] Aazoris: ok - then talk about the ubuntu issues [22:28] ohhhh ok [22:28] I was it was about apt [22:28] recon69_lap: No, i removed the driver for the G adapter, and uninstalled ndiswrapper after I found i couldn't find the right driver. Damn 64-bit systems :( [22:28] dancek: with no root account, you can't "hack" root, you can hack the user, but then you'd need to know the username, making it more difficult to hack said server [22:28] and why i was getting apt-get command not found [22:28] how can i stop ubuntu cahing my usb device? [22:29] no problem really ... just curious if the driver is installed properly .. :) [22:29] GeekSquid: if you have a strong password, that problem is moot in the first place [22:29] Aazoris: check your $PATH [22:29] BluShift, Did you remove the card as well? [22:29] they must have removed aptitude/apt? [22:29] recon69_lap: Yes, it's no longer connected. [22:29] Aazoris, try ls /usr/bin/apt* [22:29] ok [22:29] Aazoris, to see if they exist [22:29] give me a sec [22:29] Is it worth replacing Ubuntu normal with Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my Asus eee? [22:30] BluShift: well, then it's not IRQ, try reseat the old modem, maybe its not in right === chrisjw is now known as porsche911turbo [22:30] thanks ikonia, BluShift ~ [22:30] Tendency: I would recommend eeebuntu. It has lots of kernel modifications to work with the Eee's hardware. [22:30] Tendency: uhm, i think the current netbook remix is in the process of being replaced by something a little different in the next version, so perhaps if you're comfortable with the vanilla version you might want to wait [22:30] GeekSquid, i didn't understand, need to know username? [22:30] Cheers for the help guys :) [22:31] recon69_lap: Modem? What? [22:31] i dont have it, what was the command to install it [22:31] LjL: sorry if I disagree, people expose passwords all the time, either by typing them in in a public place, using public unsecured networks, or by just not following best practices [22:31] says the apt dir was not found [22:31] Aazoris: it's not a directory [22:31] hi is this the support channel? [22:31] Aazoris: there's no command to install APT, since APT is the thing to install things. [22:31] recon69_lap: I've removed and reinstalled the card a few times already. It's not showing up. [22:31] BluShift: sorry, NIC not modem , showing my age :) [22:31] Anubis: yes [22:31] recon69_lap: Heh heh [22:31] Aazoris: ls -la /usr/bin/apt-get [22:31] Aazoris, if you have neither apt-get nor aptitude then your system is really messed up [22:32] dancek: Or he's not using Ubuntu ;) [22:32] hold on im connecting via cuteftp [22:32] dancek: or gimpped on purpose [22:33] recon69_lap: I think I'm going to try booting from a live cd, to see if it configures it properly that way. [22:33] GeekSquid: and if you're doing that on your server you have a problem that's not going to be solved by merely disabling root. anyway, i just don't really see the point of telling someone they're using a "fake" VPS merely because they set up one thing differently. i know and appreciate that keeping root disabled is recommended in this channel, but that doesn't amount to dissing anything that does otherwise [22:33] hey does someone here know mutt ? [22:33] dancek: if there is no root, and the sudo user's username is not root then you cannot guess the sudo username, unless it is dick, jack, jane. mark or something like that, most of my usernames are not in a dictionary anywhere, although I am a little paranoid when it comes to user/password security [22:33] GeekSquid: we don't diss Debian, for one thing. [22:33] the console based email client [22:33] BluShift: well, I'm thinking its hardware esp since it worked before. it should show up in /dev somewhere at least. but not that much a geek to give exact answers [22:33] Aazoris: cuteftp will not allow you to see the whole file system, connect over ssh [22:33] people, I have a question here : I've installed ubuntu from "Windows 7 Professional" using WUBI. Now, (after a long long time since I've installed Ubuntu) I'm facing issues in Windows 7 and want to reinstall win 7 - Would this screw up my Ubuntu installation or not? [22:33] recon69_lap: I'm just not sure what it would be called, unfortunately. I'm not seeing it in lspci [22:33] Is there any way I can let my laptop on and check it 6 hours from now and tell if it has lost connection at any point, or perhaps how long the current connection ahs been active? [22:34] Pr0jectRec0n: yes, it will [22:34] GeekSquid, you get the same kind of security by preventing root logins via ssh etc, which is quite a common practice [22:34] ikonia, drat :( [22:34] i use procmail for filtering, but the problem is, that i dont get the mails that belong to any filter, i know that procmail leads them to the directory default, but somehow it doesnt [22:34] Pr0jectRec0n: Yes, absolutely. === fahadysf is now known as iDOpe === iDOpe is now known as iDope [22:34] ikonia, BluShift - What's the solution then ? [22:34] is there any reason why rhythmbox would suddenly stop mounting my ipod touch? [22:34] Pr0jectRec0n: Back everything up, first. Then install it properly ;) [22:34] Pr0jectRec0n: don't use wubi - yes a proper installation that doesn't depend on your windows file system [22:34] i typed in the .procmailrc the line DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox but nothing happens [22:35] is that a known error or what am i doing wrong here? [22:35] LjL: I am not dissing anything, except a VPS company not keeping to best practices, is Aazoris useing a Debian server? or ubuntu? [22:35] recon69_lap: It works fine on my brothers machine, so i imagine it's some silly driver issue. [22:35] optical: i figured out the vpn :D [22:35] im sitting here since 4 hours with no succes and just want to receive my mails that dont belong to any filter, getting crazy soon ^^ [22:35] Roasted: you could just do a ping command and leave it for 6 hours, who ever you ping might not be to happy about it [22:35] recon69_lap: Is there a way to fully reconfigure networking devices, like it's done at first install? [22:35] ls: /usr/bin/apt-get: No such file or directory [22:35] Ok [22:35] Aazoris: is that in an ftp shell [22:35] How do I do the multi line [22:35] b0n1: I don't use it myself, but doesn't procmail keep a log somewhere? You should be able to see what it did with any particular email via the log...? [22:35] no ssh [22:36] recon69_lap, yeah I thought about that lol. That's why I was hoping to find some sort of timer that allows me to see if I ever lost connection. [22:36] Aazoris: please show me the output of "uname -a" [22:36] I want to show you what i got when i did ls [22:36] ikonia, BluShift - well long story short, I did not want to mess up my hdd by partitioning it myslef - and so I opted for the WUBI route, and now I'm in this dilemma [22:36] Aazoris: please show me the output of "uname -a" [22:36] Pr0jectRec0n: game oer [22:36] over [22:36] !pastebin | Aazoris [22:36] Aazoris: 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. [22:36] Pr0jectRec0n: Then back everything up, and reinstall. There's no easy way around the problem, unfortunately. [22:36] yeah Loshki i found the log file [22:36] it says [22:36] procmail: Lock failure on "/var/mail/arbeitsaccount.lock" [22:36] Aazoris: I don't need to see the output of "ls" I need to see the output of "uname -a" [22:37] ok [22:37] but i dont undertand why /var/mail/... [22:37] BluShift, ikonia - shit I had that coming. Thanks for the responses anyway [22:37] my mail directory is ~/Mail [22:37] Pr0jectRec0n: please contro your language [22:37] i wrote that in the procmailirc [22:37] .procmailrc [22:37] BluShift: did the nic work in the current machine before, very likely it not compatible, cause as far as i know lspci is before any driver issues [22:37] Would anyone happen to know the command for the terminal to view my devices? I'm curious if Ubuntu installed the right Nvidia drivers for my 240 graphics card. I'm curious if it installed a universal driver [22:37] Linux ******************************* #1 SMP Mon Mar 15 19:26:36 MSK 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linu [22:37] dagon: lspci [22:37] How would I go about reconfiguring all my network devices, similiar to the way it's done n first install [22:37] Aazoris: please show me the full line [22:37] dagon: sudo lshw -C display [22:37] recon69_lap: It did, right out of the box. [22:37] ikonia, Sorry for that - I thought the word I uttered wasn't considered an 'expletive' [22:38] ikonia and LjL thank you [22:38] Pr0jectRec0n: Then what is? [22:38] It contians an address that leads to my server [22:38] Aazoris: no it doesn't it shows a hostname [22:38] is there any reason why rhythmbox would suddenly stop mounting my ipod touch? [22:38] BluShift, :) let's leave it at that [22:38] b0n1: I think /var/mail might be used for temporary storage while procmail processes emails. It's is set-group-id mail on my machine... [22:38] hello i have a question as to what is the preferred email daemon? [22:38] ikonia: well yes it does [22:38] Pr0jectRec0n: ;) [22:38] Is there a way that I can display my laptop battery life inside the terminal?? [22:38] Aazoris: I can see your home ip address of c-98-213-185-253.hsd1.in.comcast.net so it's not a big deal [22:38] BluShift: try sudo lshw -C display , maybe no a pci device :) [22:38] Linux Marcus.com 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.028stab068.5 #1 SMP Mon Mar 15 19:26:36 MSK 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linu [22:38] Aazoris: just show the line [22:38] Aazoris: that's redhat - not ubuntu [22:39] Excellent it sees it as it is. Thank you again [22:39] r u serious [22:39] recon69_lap: It's connected to a PCI port. I can't imagine it being anything different. [22:39] anyone have experience using email daemons? [22:39] Aazoris: yes [22:39] Tesla__: ask your question [22:39] thanks ikonia [22:39] Gear0: i don't remember what the filename is exactly, but something like cat /proc/acpi/battery/bat0/state [22:39] ikonia: rofl rofl rofl [22:39] I did: "what is the most commonly used email daemon" [22:39] Tesla__: there are many - it's personal choice [22:39] Loshki, it seems he procmail puts all the default mails in there [22:39] what port does SSH use? [22:39] its a 15 mb text file [22:40] Aazoris: actually it is CentOS [22:40] ikonia: in a professional setting? [22:40] pretty much [22:40] Hawaiian_Eskimo: 22 [22:40] Hawaiian_Eskimo: 22 by default [22:40] Tesla__: there are many, it's personal choice [22:40] Hawaiian_Eskimo: Although, a simple Google would have told you that ;) [22:40] * Hawaiian_Eskimo punches 22 into port forwarding [22:40] Hawaiian_Eskimo: cat /etc/services | grep ssh === Talon^ is now known as Talon_ [22:40] QuickSenergy isnt working anymore!!! it used to before restarting my PC without any problem!!! :( [22:40] Tesla__: don't forget there are many different types of mail configs, from perimeter relays, to subdomain mailhosts, it's a big topic [22:40] but i absolutely have no idea why, procmail does this what i tell it to do, and that is what is written in the procmailrc right? [22:40] * BluShift asks Hawaiian_Eskimo for his servers IP address [22:40] BluShift: meh, irc was open :P [22:41] somebody use sqlite? [22:41] How often do new variants of LTS releases come out? 10.04 came out late April. When would 10.04.1 come out? [22:41] Roasted it' [22:41] b0n1: sounds like your config isn't quite right. I assume there's some way of telling it where to put default emails. If you fixed the permissions on /var/mail, have another look at the log file... [22:41] s in the scheduele [22:41] Roasted: when it's needed [22:41] How can I reconfigure the networking devices as done so by a fresh install? [22:41] Roasted: i don't think there's a fixed schedule, it might not even come out at all [22:42] ok [22:42] BluShift: assumption will screw you every time with computers :) [22:42] I just installed ubuntu on my laptop. I have 9.10 on my PC, 10.04 on my laptop. Both pc and laptop have wireless, how do I share files between the two? [22:42] LjL: there was a placeholder, but I think it's as and when needed as you suggest [22:42] recon69_lap: Touche' [22:42] Everytime I try to select a PGP key to use in Psi, it crashes. If I run it from a terminal, I get the error "segmentation fault". Does anyone know how to resolve this? [22:42] LuisMi_, well, i use software that uses sqlite [22:42] Talon_: flash drive [22:42] Hello there, I'm having stuttering issues with this radeon 9600 on a freshly installed 10.04. Seems like turning off KMS would do the trick, but I see there's no /boot/grub/menu.lst. Where do I set this "radeon.modeset=0" ?? [22:42] anthony: Try running as root? Otherwise it's a software bug. [22:42] LjL: I think I found it /proc/acpi/battery then either C1BB or C1BC for me C1BC seems to be what I need. [22:42] LuisMi_, you have a question about it? [22:43] LjL, ikonia, ah. I didn't know that. Is there a way to at least gett 10.04 with ALL of the lates updates and kernels installed in case I have a problem even installing 10.04 with the default kernel to begin with? [22:43] how can i time how fast i can read/write to a nfs share? [22:43] * Talon_ un-installs ubuntu then [22:43] n8 [22:43] dancek, i want to do a program with C++ and sqlite [22:43] Roasted: you won't have a problem [22:43] BluShift: Then it's a software bug. Thanks :D [22:43] Roasted: yes - use the Minimal CD, that'll get everything from the internet instead of from the CD [22:43] !minimal > Roasted (Roasted, see the private message from ubottu) [22:43] Roasted: there have not been many updates either [22:43] BluShift: You wouldn't happen to know an alternative for PGP IM, would you? [22:43] ikonia, what should Ubuntu info look like....? [22:43] ikonia, I know. It's just a general question. [22:43] LuisMi_, and? (i've written python + sqlite myself) [22:43] Aazoris: depends on a lot of things [22:43] Roasted: you'd have to do a respin [22:44] anthony: What's it used for? I'm not feeling up to a good Google [22:44] how conect C++ and sqlite? === mickqel_ is now known as mickqel [22:44] * LjL vaguely suspects ikonia is not going to answer that one ;) [22:44] Roasted: of follow ljl's advice for a net install [22:44] Talon_: I don't use it but I think Ubuntu One is designed for that sort of thing, too [22:44] "or" [22:44] ikonia, is there no where where pople upload their own respins? [22:44] LuisMi_: probably best to ask in #sqlite === bud is now known as Guest85867 [22:44] Roasted: no-where official, tons of unofficial ones that i wouldn't trust [22:44] BluShift: Just so I have something for PGP-encrypted conversations since Pidgin doesn't support PGP. [22:44] Where's the menu.lst in this ubuntu? [22:44] it's not where it's supposed to be :O [22:44] Shapeshifter: it's not there with GRUB2 [22:44] LuisMi_: You can either use embedded SQL, which will be ignored by your compiler, or you can use libraries. Either way will work fine/. [22:44] Shapeshifter: ubuntu now uses grub2 so menu.lst is dead [22:44] !grub2 > Shapeshifter (Shapeshifter, see the private message from ubottu) [22:44] dancek, what file i need for program C++ and sqlite? [22:45] Loshki, i will paste 4 lines here ok ? [22:45] LjL, ikonia: ah thanks [22:45] How'd you figure that it was Redhat/CentOS... i.e. by the version numbers or etc.? Im writing a request for refund and need proof...? [22:45] anthony: I have no alternatives :( [22:45] Aazoris: cat /etc/redhat-release - just send them that [22:45] MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail # Dieses Verzeichnis muss existieren [22:45] LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmaillog # Name der Protokolldatei [22:45] BluShift: That's fine. Thanks. [22:45] DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox [22:45] LOGABSTRACT=no [22:45] VERBOSE=off [22:45] b0n1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:45] b0n1: absolutely *not*. Pastes go to http://paste.ubuntu.com [22:45] BluShift, I want use libraries. with C++ and sqlite [22:45] LuisMi_: You need a driver for your SQL server, first of all. [22:45] thats the head of my .procmailrc the rest is just filter settings [22:46] Aazoris: give them the output of uname -a ... you wanted an ubuntu server you got CentOS, they should fix it for you at least [22:46] How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install? [22:46] LjL: so I put it in grub.cfg instead? [22:46] b0n1: try setting VERBOSE to 'on' and reading the logs again? [22:46] 100 MPH :O [22:46] LuisMi_, install libsqlite3-dev and refer to http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/intro.html [22:46] my Chevvy goes faster thn that [22:46] Shapeshifter: i'm not entirely sure in all honesty, i still use Hardy myself, i just know menu.lst isn't there [22:46] opps.. lol wrong IRC [22:46] Is LILO used for anything anymore? [22:47] !grub2 | Shapeshifter [22:47] Shapeshifter: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [22:47] BluShift: in my debian server ;) [22:47] GeekSquid: yeah, yeah :) [22:47] BluShift: some people like it, can be good for things like raid devices [22:47] How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install would? [22:47] thanks dancek [22:47] ikonia: Fair enough. [22:47] b0n1: there is also #procmail which should give you better help than I can... [22:47] Shapeshifter: no, you'll edit /etc/default/grub and do a sudo update-grub [22:47] GeekSquid: question is, where do I put radeon.modeset=0? [22:47] Loshki, procmaillog is empty [22:48] yeah i will have a try there [22:48] b0n1: best of luck... [22:48] weird... [22:48] How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install would? [22:48] i have a nice setup installed on this machine, and would like to make copies for my coworkers... after making each copy, i need to regenerate the ssh host keys... anything else? [22:49] helo: Hostnames? [22:49] sudo echo "user pptpd password *" >> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets returns permission denied, even though i used sudo [22:49] Shapeshifter: /etc/default/grub .... then sudo update-grub [22:49] helo: hostname/ip address, uuid's [22:49] but if i do it as root then it works fine :| [22:49] Hawaiian_Eskimo: echo "stuff" | sudo tee -a /path/to/file [22:49] Hawaiian_Eskimo: the redirection happens as your user [22:49] How do i re-detect and reconfigure all my network devices, like a fresh install would? [22:50] GeekSquid: in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT options array? [22:50] meh. thought it would apply to the whole thing. guess not. [22:50] s/array/line [22:50] BluShift: you don't, you just configure them either in the desktop or the config file [22:50] I just installed xubuntu. every time I increase the backlight brightness, something turns it back down. How do I fix that? [22:50] Shapeshifter: good place as any [22:50] I am going directly to the sysfs to set the brightness, btw [22:50] GeekSquid: okay thanks [22:51] ikonia: So, how would I go about re-detecting an NIC that used to work, but is no longer being detected by the system? I installed ndiswrapper, tried some drivers for another NIC, (taking the name wlan0 in the process) and now that I've uninstalled ndiswrapper (and the driver with it) and put the previous card in (which worked out of the box) it no longer is being detected. [22:52] BluShift: you need to figure out why the card no longer works, the reason it can't see it is technical, so a redect would just miss it again [22:53] how do i view the system log? [22:54] ikonia: Hmm. Ok. [22:54] BluShift: did you blacklist any drivers when you setup ndistwrapper? [22:54] recon69_lap: Not that I'm aware os. [22:54] of* [22:55] BluShift: can you remember anything that changed between it working a not (kernel update is most common) [22:55] anyone know why I can't SFTP into my ubuntu 8.04 VPS? I get "Out of Memory" errors in Filezilla/psftp but get this error in WinSCP http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/323/sftp.jpg [22:55] BluShift: does lspci show the card ? [22:55] BluShift: does the syslog show it being found but ignored at boot time [22:56] ikonia: Not in a form i recognize. It lists a "Texas Instruments" device, but that's all. [22:56] BluShift: all things to investigate [22:56] ikonia: I will do so. [22:56] by [22:56] BluShift: then it looks like there maybe a hadware problem with that card, as lspci doesn't care if it's usable or not, it just (should) see it as a dumb deice [22:56] BluShift: is this a laptop ? [22:56] hey guys is there an app that allows me to download flash video from a website? [22:56] It doesn't appear to work in Windows, either -- is it possible the PCI port is damaged? I tried it in both ports though, and it works in neither. [22:56] my ubuntu server is not getting an address from the DHCP, and when i do a 'services network status' it says network: unrecognized service... does anyone have any idea where I can poke around to check out my settings? [22:56] ikonia: No, it's a desktop. [22:57] moegreen: keepvid.com ? [22:57] BluShift: sounds like the card is dead [22:57] ikonia: It works fine in my brothers machine, though :/ [22:57] BluShift: sounds like the socket/bus is dead [22:57] Both of them, though? [22:57] jrib...thx ill check that out [22:57] BluShift: or got damaged in transit [22:57] ikonia: Huh. [22:58] xomp: your vps is passing a 2gig packet, for some wierd reason [22:58] could anyone tell me how to get firefox to use gpodder to open podcasts [22:58] GeekSquid, lol really? [22:58] GeekSquid: Do 2 GB packets even exist?

[23:31] belive [23:32] purpley: So in 9.10 things were slow as well? [23:32] purpley: on your hardware things are obviously not meant to be slow [23:32] sebsebseb, No lightning fast at a fresh install, but before I upgraded like a snail but that was because I had so many libaries and it was just junked up [23:32] Hi, with wubi I have a "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-16-generic root=/dev/sda1 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro" line in grub.cfg.

[23:40] bsmith093: Ultimate is like a unoffical version of Ubuntu, same thing for the Christian Edition for example [23:40] bsmith093: where as Mint is a distro that is based on Ubuntu [23:40] only google [23:40] no, sorry) [23:40] join #linuxmce [23:40] been there done that Sonsee, nothing good to find yet i suppose [23:41] I went to 9.10 [23:41] ;) [23:41] bsmith093: May as well use real Ubuntu :) not anything that is based on it [23:41] bsmith093: plus if you do that, you can get support in this big channel [23:41] i had 9.10 before, but i always do upgrades, i like to see the future. starting to regret this last one Sonsee [23:41] i do use regular ubuntu [23:42] sebsebseb, Is there a way to check the intergrity of the kernel?

[23:45] should work out of the box. [23:46] purpley: some issues such as yours, are distro specific, wel I have a feeling yours is distro specific, and so an Ubuntu issue, but that things will probably work well on another distro, so its worth trying something else really, unless you want to just go back to 9.10 of course [23:46] tell me what you did with laptop in ubuntu in a few words.
