[00:00] any one having problems with acpi? I was running 9.10 and after an update last week my box would become unresponsive after not being used for 30 mins, must have been sleep since I never set it to hibernate (and it never has over the past year) then after restarting I would get kernel panics on boot up. Descided to try 10.04 and now it boots much faster but again when it sleeps / goes to low power it doesnt come back [00:00] . any suggestions?

Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode.

[00:06] octuoa, thanks [00:06] i dont have the cd [00:06] can i do it from grub? [00:06] respire: uhmm well [00:06] respire:fist of all, have you got a backup media? [00:06] sebsebseb, im just going to dd the whole disk into an encyrpted file into a hd a friend lent me for now [00:06] then fix later [00:07] respire: you can boot up Ubuntu from Grub from the partition, if it lets you [00:07] barbarella, no [00:07] That is a shame, I just threw away like 30 LiveCDs the other day. [00:07] i threw away by ubuntu cd yesteday :( [00:07] hi [00:07] respire:yes you have, from a friend [00:07] I have Ubuntu Lucid in a box with an LG flatron monitor, but I can't get the max. resolution available... it seems this is a problem with the drivers because Avant Window navigator can't display transparency, what can i do? [00:08] barbarella, i cant keep this drive === jesus is now known as Guest21376 [00:08] hmm no way to force resolution in xubuntu? [00:08] holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [00:08] hello all. any ideas why my mouse would start acting weird all of a sudden?...been logged into gnome for a few days now...and just about a hour or so ago my mouse started to act weird...its not smooth and it does not respond like it did before...its jerky when moving [00:08] I'm having an issue where having a certain USB device plugged in on boot causes grub to freeze at Loading stage2, and I'm not sure where to beginto troubleshoot. Can someone help? [00:08] Wicked, have you tried cleaning it? [00:09] respire:have you bought a new disk? [00:09] uRock, yes. it seems to be something related to software [00:09] hello === AGNTBAB is now known as Agent_Babb [00:09] bytenik, it is normal for a system to lock up during boot if a thumb drive or such is plugged in [00:09] This is my question for ubuntu experts: http://pastebin.com/YRq8Cjw2 === dave is now known as Guest16782 [00:10] barbarella, I will be of course, please we cant keep doing this more of my drive is dying [00:10] uRock: I need this device connected... can I tell grub to ignore it? [00:10] look at pastebin answer if you can and i will love you lots [00:10] I doubt it. Just plug it in after boot up [00:11] I have ntfs partitions in different hard disks, but in the network I can only access folders in the ubuntu partition, I can see other folders (in the ntfs partition) but it says it can not be mounted... [00:11] bytenik: sudo apt-get install grub-pc. grub2 is smarter when it comes to drive numbers / order changing. [00:11] hello [00:11] uRock: This computer is being located remotely [00:11] I'd be happy to just have grub ignore all usb altogether -- is that possible? [00:11] juanca enough permissions? [00:11] hows it going everyone? [00:11] Guest16782: just ask your question [00:11] nobody on the resolution thing? i got ubuntu working after hours but xubuntu has different config files [00:11] respire: you didn't need to pate bin that [00:12] respire:how do you want to use grub if your system is broken? [00:12] bytenik: The BIOS exposes all disks the same way, there is no way in the bootloader to differentiate between internal and USB drives. [00:12] Sorry for repeating my question about nautilus. How to make view auto refresh ? I can not see file size increasing while downloading it. Is this behavior normal ? [00:12] bytenik, maybe Jordan_U's idea wil work. [00:12] respire: Got another computer? Got a uhmmm 1GB or so USB stick? [00:12] Jordan_U: So if I disable USB boot, that'll do it? [00:12] Jordan_U: (in the bios) [00:12] DocSnyd3r: the trend on all the newer varieties of Ubuntu is to not include any xorg.conf file [00:13] bytenik: Likely, yes. [00:13] Jordan_U: That might just be the easiest way... let me give it a shot and I'll let you know. [00:13] hmm thanks a have a working xconf file where to put this information now? [00:13] i dont know squat about grub2 which key makes it appear and can i use a kernel arg to tell it to boot single user with the root filesys mounted RO [00:14] a = i [00:14] respire:sebsebseb has a good point, do you have a usb stick so you can put ubuntu on it? [00:14] DocSnyd3r: put your last known working xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ [00:14] barbarella, no i have nothing except this IDE drive i ripped from kind friend PC [00:14] DocSnyd3r: Still /etc/X11/xorg.conf (there is just no xorg.conf needed or made with a fresh install) [00:14] respire: Hold shift [00:14] this used to be so easy before LVM and cryptsetup [00:14] argh [00:14] okay then reboot? [00:15] now i know why people by MS [00:15] Sonsee: What I did with the folders was: right click > share > and checked both "allow writing" and "guest access" [00:15] When signing on as the main user I set up (10.04) I am unable to use many features like shutdown (the button is greyed out on ctrl+alt+del screen) unless I do it with sudo in console. [00:15] Jordan_U, it asks for root pass but continues to boot normally [00:15] and / is read write [00:15] Sonsee: But that only works with folders in the linux partition [00:16] DocSnyd3r: Rebooting would be fine. [00:16] juanca how did you set up the share? which way? [00:16] ill have to accept a read write / soon but i will try few more minutes to get it ro [00:16] Jordan_U: No go... but I also boot to SUSE and I don't believe it supports grub2 yet [00:16] ok will report back thanks so far [00:16] the data i am losing is important i was very stupid and didnt back it up [00:16] bytenik: If you install grub2 in Ubuntu it will automatically detect and add entries for SUSE [00:17] hi [00:17] please, how can i boot ubuntu livecd via grub? [00:17] Sonsee: right click, sharing options... it asked me to install something and I did.. after that I could share like in Windows... as I said before right click > share > and checked both "allow writing" and "guest access" [00:17] tomatto_: you don't normalley [00:17] tomatto_ just boot from cd or usb stick, much simplier [00:18] tomatto_: you shouldn't have to go through grub. just start PC with liveCD in the drive [00:18] juanca google samba [00:18] respire: First try adding "single" to the kernel parameter list in in grub, if that doesn't work then a really ugly hack around is to add "init=/bin/bash" instead. [00:18] eddvrs: i haven't drive [00:18] juanca that will work [00:18] I don't understand the issue here with Grub Legacy anyway -- wouldn't a drive numbering issue happen much much later? [00:18] tomatto_: lol- a fair point. [00:18] Sonsee: Isn't this "smb:// " samba? [00:19] juanca yes [00:19] eddvrs: i need to know, how boot livecd via grub, can you help me with? [00:19] juanca it is [00:19] bytenik: Why would you think that? grub needs to be able to read files from the filesystem, so it needs to find that filesystem first. [00:19] {coolface}: foo [00:19] <{coolface}> Syntropy|Laptop: Hank_el-Bashir: pukey still avoided it. [00:19] sup guys, why cant i click on stuff in flash? (ubuntu 10.04 64-bit) [00:19] Jordan_U, thank you my man [00:19] Jordan_U: Wait, location of the system with grub installed on it is hard-coded into the MBR? [00:19] How can I troubleshoot why I cannot shutdown in 10.04 without using sudo in a console (ie. the GUI shutdown button is greyed out and I am denied access to change any "user and groups" settings) [00:20] bytenik: Also, make sure the problem isn't as simple as there being a broken grub installation on the USB drive (and the USB drive is first in the boot order causing that broken install to be used) [00:20] tomatto_ do you want to load ISO via grub or what? [00:20] sebsebseb: i am, but i need to solve it [00:20] bytenik: In grub legacy, yes. grub2 uses UUIDs. [00:20] Jordan_U: The device in question is a cellular modem with drivers on ROM-based USB mass-storage. So it shouldn't be bootable anyway, but even if it is I have no control over the content. [00:21] Sonsee: iso or something to load livecd via grub [00:21] tomatto_: Are you talking about a physical CD or an iso file on the hard drive? [00:22] it worked! thank you [00:22] tomatto_ there is no sence doing so. Use usb stick, make it bootable and load live cd [00:22] DocSnyd3r: Excellent! [00:22] should have tried this n hour ago [00:22] Sonsee: i prefer grub. it is possible to load via grub no isolinux? [00:22] Jordan_U: iso file [00:23] hola [00:23] tomatto_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [00:23] tomatto_: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1224417&page=5 [00:23] tomatto_ have no experience in this one, sorry. I hope it`s possible though [00:23] ) [00:24] tomatto_: go with Jordan_U's link.. much more to the point. mine is a bit hard to understand === dhwty is now known as dhwty_afk [00:25] but another thing bugs me ;) i changed from kubuntu to xubuntu because i only have 256mb ram on my laptop which i use as mp3 player. but i only habe 6mb free and swap is already used i saw yt videos which suggested it would use a lot less ram? [00:25] i think I need to file a bug report but not sure what package to cite. it seems to be a problem with ACPI coming back from sleep any suggestions? === Chuck27 is now known as chuck27 [00:26] where can i find more info about lynix? [00:26] Coded1: run "ubuntu-bug" and answer the prompts [00:26] DocSnyd3r: how much free ram did you have when you were running kubuntu? [00:26] Jordan_U, ty [00:26] Coded1: You're welcome. [00:26] Jordan_U: can i use grub1? [00:27] Jordan_U, it says I must specify a PID [00:27] about the same, close to nothing but xubuntu should only require 190 i read [00:27] <{coolface}> Poof! [00:27] tomatto_: Not easily (you would have to extract the kernel and initrd yourself since grub legacy can't read iso files). [00:28] Coded1: The guided bug reporting is relatively new. Are you using Ubuntu 10.04? [00:28] Jordan_U, yes [00:28] Jordan_U: so i can extract iso file to folder. can it help? [00:29] DocSnyd3r: You're only using your laptop to do one thing? There are probably some tweaks you could do. [00:29] yes only as mp3 player do i get top to sort by mem usage? [00:30] hola [00:30] Coded1: Odd, I just tried it here and with no arguments "ubuntu-bug" popped up a dialog box ("What kind of bug do you want to report...") [00:30] hello! I'm having trouble with wireless on my laptop. I've been using it nicely for weeks but today I can't connect to internet and when I click knetworkmanager, it says "network management disabled" [00:30] Jordan_U, yup and right after is when you get the error [00:31] eapañol [00:31] DocSnyd3r: In top, "?" is help. "F n " will sort by %mem. [00:31] or load isolinux via grub1.5? [00:31] i have question too) about kde [00:32] hi [00:32] Coded1: Ahh, the "other" option. Looks like apport needs to add more subjects. "ubuntu-bug linux" is probably a safe bet.

[00:36] hey_joe: It makes more sense to start from a minimal install than to try to pair down a full install [00:36] hi [00:36] !minimal | hey_joe [00:36] hey_joe: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[00:40] hey_joe, skippuff54: The server install uses a different kernel configuration [00:41] server was my original choice... but according to this source > http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=4595.0 > it is something to do with the server install. he suggests the kernel is the problem. [00:41] maybe I misread :) [00:41] maybe the support for the platform compiled in? [00:41] hey_joe, ks3 thanks for the clarification [00:41] what driver would i install for the NVidia GeForce 6200 LE? (Kubuntu 9.10) [00:41] anyone know why gxine would crash my whole desktop after an upgrade to 10.04? [00:42] k3: how about the minimal install? is it the desktop kernel .config or the server .config? [00:42] why would there be a unhandled exption that does not result in any problem [00:42] so ornys ? [00:42] hey [00:42] (help) does anyone know audio editor like cool edit in windows.. ??? what the name is on ubuntu? [00:42] i was thinking that thay always resulted in a kernal panic [00:42] hey_joe: 99% sure all other install methods use the same kernel [00:42] xnockout you could try audacity [00:42] im now connected with windows :s need to be in ubuntu [00:42] I am running Wubi updates, and it is asking me: Continue without installing GRUB? when attempting to install grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu6), what should I do? [00:42] skippuff54: the installation would always finish.. however the kernel config was wrong. so it wouldn't *boot* [00:43] This may be naive of me, but why can't grub just look for stage2 on the disk it was loaded from? [00:43] Doesn't it know which disk's MBR invoked it? === eugene_ is now known as egelor [00:43] xnockout: btr suggests Ardour to skippfuff54 [00:43] ornys are you there ? [00:43] skippuff54, Others?? like cool edit... [00:44] ks3: one last question, what is it about the kernel config. would it be just as thin, if i did the minimal install? i think its just the fact that the box has the amd k6 in it.. maybe server doesn't default to include support for older chips? [00:44] typo: skippfuff54 -> xnockout [00:44] belha yes, check realtek website they have a linux driver [00:44] bytenik: It does, if /boot is on the same drive as the mbr grub is installed to (but unfotunatly the drive number supplied by the BIOS is sometimes wrong with buggy BIOSs) [00:44] i got the driver [00:44] xknockout, I agree on Audiacity [00:44] and i installed it [00:44] xnockout i am not familiar with cooledit, i just suggested audacity cause that is what i use. if you notic btr suggests Ardour [00:44] can i observe my forum account from ubuntu Server? [00:44] You have Audiacity on Windows also, its the same [00:45] belha didnt work ? [00:45] Jordan_U: Lets assume for a second my bios isn't buggy (*crosses fingers* :)... how would I tell GRUB to just look in partition X on the drive its invoked from? === thibow is now known as thb|Ou7 [00:45] it work but not with all connection [00:45] hi poeple... short question: i turned on emerald themes with compiz but i don't know how to turn them off? [00:46] Hi. I just updated to 10.04 and I don't have keyboard on X, only the console, how do I fix it? [00:46] bytenik: I don't know with grub legacy. Is there a reason you don't want to upgrade to grub2? It's the default in Ubuntu and upgrading is easy. [00:46] has anyone had Gnome-Do sort of crash about 15 seconds into a reboot? [00:46] i think i am just going to not minimize desktop for only the cli, and just go with the minimal install. however, there will be ethernet drivers available during install.. so does it *have* to install from internet repositories? [00:46] I am trying to set up a linux computer to receive internet from through another computer. On the computer receiving the shared internet through a crossover cable, the gui will not will not allow me to save the settings, thought I believe I have everything put in. I tried both dchp, which I can run a dhcp server, but i prefer to have the static ip info setup, and it's now allowing me to save. Why not? [00:46] hey_joe: You should get the same kernel with the minimal install, what you won't get is most of the packages that would be in a stock install. The server kernel differences are mainly to do with the different workload on a server - better virtualization support, no tweaks to improve desktop app responsiveness, etc. [00:46] [will not be ethernet drivers] [00:46] Does anyone know how to map the "Show Desktop" function to an extra mouse button? [00:46] Jordan_U: Yea, this system is a dual boot with Ubuntu just for testing but the rest of the systems are just SUSE, which doesn't have package support for grub2. [00:47] Jordan_U: I'm trying to avoid having to hack together solutions for this particular project. Otherwise I'd still be on Ubuntu for the entire deployment, but sadly it lacks mono-2.6 package support. [00:47] pokeh: wmctrl and one of: xbindkeys, imwheel, or ccsm to configure keybindns [00:47] skippuff54,grujah .. i can playing with same time on audacity.. any other suggestion? [00:47] bytenik: Since you're using grub from SUSE you should probably ask in #suse [00:47] ks3: i wont need virtualization on the amd k6-266 :-), nor will it have a desktop. i think minimal, then i can add my daemons one at a time [00:47] Jordan_U: They're all dead over there. :P [00:47] xnockout, ardour perhaps [00:47] kinda like a gentoo install would be best. but a nice shell prompt after a cd install is always nice. [00:48] thank you guys [00:48] Jordan_U: I do get your point, though I do want to try to get a general enough solution for any distribution. [00:48] belha, did you try the ubuntu forums if someone is having the same problem? and if it was solved? and better would be to google for the laptop model or name and the kernel version you are running, i m sorry i couldnt help you more [00:49] ok ornys thank you anyway man [00:49] what driver would i install for the NVidia GeForce 6200 LE?

[00:52] I cannot right click the items on my desktop... quite annoying if you want to delete an file [00:53] bytenik: The problem is that there aren't many people who know the internals of grub legacy very well since it no longer has any upstream, and it doesn't give very helpfull error messages most of the time (when grub2 is not able to find /boot you still have a rescue shell and can list drives / turn on debug output). If you really need to be able to boot with this USB drive in maybe you could boot with super grub2 disk. [00:53] dddw can you right click inside apps such as openoffice ? [00:53] So, I got drivers installed, when I run dmesg the Xbox 360 controller appears, which is awesome. So I decide to try out qjoypad. "The procedure is soooo simple, just ./config" what does that mean? [00:53] well crap, i don't have drivers available until after install, cause its a crappy hack. will the minimal install, install a base without a connection? then i can do the driver, and add repositories right? [00:53] dddw, shift+del [00:53] things freakin 13mb [00:53] itsy [00:53] Hey guys, when a readme tells you to ./config what does that mean? [00:53] yaxomoxay, yes, it works everywhere else, only the desktop doesn´t work... it did when I installed 10.04 couple of weeks ago [00:54] tonyb_: execute the config script [00:54] I have a short video on a DVD and would like to burn it to my hd, but am having trouble figuring out how to do that. If I open the DVD there are two folders there: Video_rm and Video_ts [00:54] tonyb_: which usually excepts user input... [00:54] what driver would i install for the NVidia GeForce 6200 LE? (Kubuntu 9.10) [00:54] Thanks Joe! [00:54] tonyb_: or configures the project for the system libraries and stuff. [00:54] i attempted a distro upgrade and didn't properly set up grub... how do i fix this? i can't boot [00:54] hey_joe: All of the drivers that are on the LiveCD are on the minimal CD (except the Xorg drivers since there is no X) [00:54] hey_joe: You can use the alternate install cd [00:55] ripdisk: What happens when you try to boot? [00:55] Jordan_U: sweet. thank you [00:55] Hi all, anyone in this channel has some job offering? [00:55] hou5ton, you can simply copy the .vob files... you can open them with VLC [00:55] hey_joe: You're welcome. [00:55] Jordan_U: hold on, let me seee [00:55] ks3: i am on the alternate-desktop cd now. i removed gnome*, pulse audio, thats it so far. [00:55] yaxomoxay, any idea? [00:55] hey_joe: ahh, ok [00:55] error: the symbol 'grub puts' not found [00:56] grub rescue> _ [00:56] hou5ton, or you could make an image with Brasero and than mount it [00:56] i just know that theres crap tone of other desktop apps still on the system thou [00:56] and maybe some other junk [00:56] dddw: and then what about burning copies of the video [00:56] ok [00:56] ripdisk: Do you have a liveCD you can use? The problem is that the grub installed to the mbr is out of sync with the one in /boot [00:56] cool, first time on IRC [00:56] i do not [00:56] but i can just download one i guess [00:56] Grujah: oh ... ok .. I think I see what you are talking about ... thanks [00:56] then what [00:57] anyone else have trouble with gxine after upgrade to 10.04? [00:57] Jordan_U: is this 13mb mini iso a full little cli, or does it NEED internet access during install to build it? [00:58] hey_joe: I don't remember off hand. [00:58] Nvidia black screen 9200GS lucid 2.6.32.22 [00:58] hou5ton, see what Grujah said: hou5ton, or you could make an image with Brasero and than mount it... you can use a program like gmount-iso to run it... and burn the iso to dvd again with a burning program [00:59] okay thx again n8 [01:00] Jordan_U: so what do i do when i have a live cd\\ [01:00] is there documentation somewhere on the the domains section in a sip profile does? [01:00] hi, are there any reports on slow wireless performance (not only browser but also when update packagins, pinging, etc) on the new lucid lynx distro? [01:01] Hi everyone, I got Ubuntu 10.04 installed and am not sure how to identify my Wireless card. It's an Intel Proset one. I can get the Windows Drivers but nothing for Linux, any ideas on a procedure I can do to get them converted? [01:01] nicolas, yes [01:01] nicolas, read this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487039 [01:01] ripdisk: If you download super grub2 disk then you can use that to boot then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure-grub-pc" and select your drive to both re-install grub and make sure it gets installed properly on upgrades. To do it from a regular LiveCD follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide but in addition to grub-install in those instructions run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" in the chroot (or after booting the r [01:02] hi dddw, is that bug hardware dependant? [01:03] Jordan_U: i'm pretty sure i can boot from the grub rescue terminal [01:03] if only i could get a list of hdds [01:03] When I use the Nautilus share extension for Samba, when I share a folder, does it do it modifying the smb.conf file? I'm currently having issues with Samba (didn't on Ubuntu 9.10; this is a fresh 10.04 install), because I currently need to modify the smb.conf file myself, and add the share. Also, it just won't cut it to add guest support (availability, browse-able, and all that), but I also have to use the "force user = " line in order for the share fold [01:03] er not to ask for a user/password whenever a simple guest wants to read the folder contains. [01:03] i forget how they are named [01:03] ripdisk: "ls" [01:04] ripdisk: You won't have many commands available in the rescue shell though, and other modules are likely to fail due to version mismatch also. [01:04] Jordan_U: it gives me hd0, hd0,5 hd0,1 and fd0 [01:05] yeah but i figured maybe i could get it to boot and fix grub from there [01:05] unable to find a medium containing a live file system [01:06] ? [01:06] what is wrong [01:06] tomatto_: Did you pass an iso/scan_filename= option to the kernel? [01:06] hello, can any one tell me why computerstarted running very slow after two weeks or so of supper fast-ness [01:07] courtni not really [01:07] courtni, may be you start loading too much stuff ?

[01:09] Hello everyone! How are you all? [01:10] tomatto_, you have to point deeper ~ to the casper dir of the iso that extracted [01:10] Since I install lucid I havent received any update at all, even though I keep updating manually. I suspect my apt-update is broken. Can someone help me? [01:10] tomatto_: Did you pass a root= parameter to the kernel? [01:10] dbugger, download sources.list [01:10] Jordan_U: no, i havent, know that. is it /dev/ram0 ? [01:11] tomatto_: No, whatever device you extracted the iso to. [01:11] does anybody know a way to change de startup song of ubuntu? [01:11] Sonsee, what?? [01:11] hi all , eeem I am having an issue that seams to be a high one ... I have very high cpu usage at all time since tooday , yesterday i've crashed a couple of times so it is releated but well not I just lags a lot ... [01:11] Jordan_U: i have root=/dev/ram [01:11] dbugger, fix your /etc/apt/sources.list file [01:11] dbugger, download a new one [01:12] Sonsee, and from where may I download a new one? [01:12] dbugger, from google [01:12] dbugger, or ask someone [01:12] Sonsee: are you actually trying to help or just being obtuse for a reason? [01:12] dbugger, I have 9.10 [01:12] hi, I have a mono application, that, when I switch it to another desktop, metacity loses 'focus-follows-mouse' behaviour, and I need to make metacity crash (by choosing "Normal" visual effects) to fix it. What is up with that?!?!? [01:13] by desktop I mean workspace [01:13] thanks, wabz [01:13] * bedwyr cancels the question he wanted to ask, having resolved the issue and leaves XD [01:14] Jordan_U: root=/dev/ram is wrong? [01:14] * wabz increases the priority of the question he asked, as it's really, really annoying [01:14] tomatto_: What guide are you following? [01:14] I don't even know where to file a bug [01:14] it's just too hard [01:14] Jordan_U: i check many of [01:15] bastid_raZor, well, why he does not get any updates then? [01:15] bastid_raZor, if not because of the sources.list? [01:15] Jordan_U: but nothing working [01:15] Jordan_U, tomatto_, do we need root= ? coz i boot fine without it :http://pastebin.com/Fiqu5Phg [01:16] wild_bat: I guess not then, it's bee a while since I've booted this way. [01:17] tomatto_, make sure the filesystem.squashfs is in the [01:17] wild_bat: yes, it is [01:17] tomatto_, it is located inside the 'casper' of the iso [01:17] tomatto_: root=/dev/ram is certainly wrong, try removing the root= parameter entirely. [01:17] hi, I have a remote server which I set an ecrypted home folder. Occasionally I connect remotely via ssh and run a command which will take long time to run, therefore I send the command to backgrund and disown it, in order to be able to continue to run the command on server while disconnecting myself remotely. Now the problem is that I think the ecrypted file system encrypts itself upon my disconnection, is there a way to ask it not to encrypt it [01:17] self for some time? [01:18] Does anyone know if its possible to change the startup song? [01:18] tomatto_, you have 'ignore_uuid' in kernal option ? [01:18] tomatto_: Could you pastebin your current menu entry? [01:18] wild_bat: yes [01:19] Jordan_U: yes, i hope [01:19] Hi guys. I'm having some trouble installing 10.04 on a machine with an existing Windows XP partition. The XP partition is installed on a RAID1 Intel device. it sees the RAID, but not the partition [01:19] When I use the Samba extension for Nautilus, and I share a folder, does it do it modifying the smb.conf file? I'm currently having issues with Samba (didn't on Ubuntu 9.10; this is a fresh 10.04 install), because I currently need to modify the smb.conf file myself, and add the share.

What's more strange, and it's the origin of this question, is that even if I set up the folder using the extension, the smb.conf will stay unchanged.

[01:53] acerimmer, yeah true, i just tweak gnome out with gconf-editor manually mostly [01:53] I've got 64 bit Lucid. Does this still apply? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash#x86_64 [01:53] baba_b00ie: live and learn. *whisper* I do like the mac powerboosk, but can't quite convince myself to spend the $ to get one. [01:53] !controls | Guest86692 [01:53] Guest86692: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [01:53] :) [01:53] thanks [01:53] wild_bat: grub2 runs fine in cygwin [01:53] tomatto_, my usb is ntfs [01:53] funkyhat: I would be content to have the backup to my NAS not be encrypted. Guess I think of encryption as protection in case I lose my laptop away from home. Maybe I should read more about what I've gotten into by agreeing to encryption of /home when I installed Lucid. [01:54] wild_bat: And there must be a way to install it without cygwin as well, since wubi does. [01:54] hello how do you make an unexecutible bit executible. i went to the website but thhe instructions are unclear (i'm trying to play flyff) [01:54] wild_bat: i see. [01:54] Hello I have upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and now desktop theme looks like in this shot http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/5513/screenshothh.jpg any ideas how to fix that? [01:54] wild_bat: what is in your directory /bootimg/ubuntu.10.4.x86/ ? [01:55] zacktu: ah I see. I was thinking backing up the non-encrypted version makes no sense. when do you get the errors, all the time, or is it a cron job which runs the backup? [01:55] Hawaiian_Eskimo, just try to read a little about it, ok? about sudo, update-rc.d and the rc,local file [01:55] Sensiva: Mark yourself as affected by this bug, and provide input -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/560637 [01:55] Hawaiian_Eskimo, you can use sudo command to run from everyone [01:55] funkyHat: Heh, I said it was a stupid question! As far as compressing live data vs. encrypted data, it is treated the same. I also found backup programs that can encrypt the backup itself, wether it was encrypted to start with or not! [01:56] Cynthia thank you [01:56] Sensiva: Looks like the dust theme (System > Preferences > Appearance) with the window controlls on the right. [01:56] tomatto_, the vmlinuz , initrd.lz , and the filesystem.squashfs [01:56] Jordan_U When I choose Dust theme X crashes [01:56] Is there a hardware channel on IRC? for those that do computer repairs? [01:56] Sorry I nowthis is not a UBuntu topic [01:57] Cynthia Did you notice xchat's menu bar colors? [01:57] RedWar: ##hardware [01:57] Hawaiian_Eskimo, if you don`t want to understand, just do this: sudo nano /etc/rc.local and write there sudo $user transmission-daemon [01:57] Sensiva: Not until you just mentioned it :) [01:57] wild_bat: great [01:57] so.. anyone able to assist with an xwindows / gnome issue in 10.04. I have an integrated intel 4 series graphics controller (revision 03) and startx just pops straight to a blank screen and the machine *seems* to(but may not actually) freeze completely. nothing in Xorg logs or syslog... [01:57] Thanks Jordan_U [01:57] RedWar: You're welcome. [01:57] funkyhat: The command is "sudo tar cvzf ...". I added sudo after an earlier attempt generated errors, but still have them. [01:57] wild_bat: can i disable gnome loading? [01:57] Jordan_U, hmmm ~ i will be nice to have one w/o cygwin (pain >.<) ~ for making the boot usb ;p ~ [01:58] funkyhat: and not a cron [01:58] Smeh: is it in that state now? [01:58] Any network-manager (OpenVPN) experts in da house? ... having odd issue - need help w/ config import [01:58] tomatto_, huh ? why you wanna do so? boot with 'single' kernel option then [01:58] zacktu: can you pastebin the output so I can see the errors in full? [01:59] Greezmunkey : no, but i can get it there in no time at all.. [01:59] Smeh: thought yet about giving it a -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; ? in 'recovery' mode [01:59] Smeh: press ctrl+alt+F2 - see if it takes you to a text based login. [01:59] greezmunkey: I would imagine encrypting a text file has an effect on how well it can be compressed though... but then I think encryption routines often perform compression as a matter of course [02:00] what is "recovery" mode? i'm already in a text based login. I don't even know if this is normal, however, i'm using the "alternate" iso, and it doesn't start with an Xorg gui.. it boots to a text login [02:00] greezmunkey: this conversation is getting a bit off topic though ⢁) [02:00] wild_bat: because viewed mismash on the screen instead of gnome [02:00] wild_bat: If you want to create a boot USB for booting iso files you can use any dd like tool to copy super grub2 disk to a USB drive. It contains a script that will detect loop bootable isos (at boot time) in /boot-isos/ and make menu entries for them. [02:00] funkyhat: Don't have the output right now. If you're going to be here a while, I'll try it again. [02:00] funkyHat: agreed. [02:00] Smeh: recovery mode is single user mode, less services are started etc. [02:00] tomatto_, may be you should use alternate cd for install then~ [02:00] I see [02:00] zacktu: I'm always here, I won't necessarily reply very promptly though [02:01] I have two monitors and after the upgrade to 10.4 new windows do not open anymore on the screen with the mouse pointer. Can somebody please help me find the problem? [02:01] wild_bat: from this, it works before [02:01] Smeh: the 'text' login screen will be the 'recovery' mode :) then, so try it there, it seems like something went off on that install, did it ever work? did you do an upgrade rather than a full install? [02:01] wild_bat: Of course, the downside being that you loose whatever is on the flash drive currently (unless you do some hackery with the partition table) [02:01] Is there a better way to view console output? I've been keeping a terminal window open and running xtail on the log files... === plympfmoot_sec is now known as thunder_star [02:01] /msg NickServ identify wiccan [02:02] thunder_star ))) [02:02] Jordan_U, i know ~ but a pc w/o linux or cygwin ~ can't do it ~ so burnning cd is a must :< [02:02] thunder_star: oops... [02:02] Loshki: System>Admin>Log File Viewer? [02:02] wild_bat: There are tools for windows that will let you copy a drive image to a USB drive. [02:02] greezmunkey: any idea what app that actually runs? [02:03] Loshki: you can always just use the terminal window and use -> tail -f FILE; -f does a 'follow' up whenever the file changes [02:03] Loshki: hmm, I could look...Do you have that on your system? [02:03] Typos_King : right, well.. xwindows has never worked, no. and this is a completely fresh install of 10.04 LTS Alternate. [02:03] Jordan_U, hmm ~ should be let me search ^^ thanks [02:03] wild_bat: You're welcome. [02:03] Hi. I just installed Lucid on an msi xslim. The webcam did not work, and a thread on the ubuntu forums said that I needed to compile the uvc driver. This step was written I believe for Jaunty, and the lucid kernel now includes this driver. the driver was NOT loaded. I have now loaded the driver, but there is still no new device in /dev [02:03] HELLO can any one answer my question? [02:03] um [02:03] do I need to do something to initialize the driver or something? [02:04] greezmunkey: I have (or can get) all the apps but I don't run gnome so I'm not sure what System>Admin>Log File Viewer will actually run... [02:04] Smeh: seems as if it has lack of drivers for your videocard :| [02:04] courtni: Ask about every ten to fiveteen minutes until someone takes it up, what's wrong? [02:04] courtni: Your question was lost in a sea of replies. You will have to repeat it every so often (but not too often) [02:04] Loshki: I'll look here... [02:05] Typos_King: I used to use something else back in the day, on Solaris. It used to open and beep when there was message and was configurable I think. So I wondered if there was a ubuntu app...

[02:07] Loshki: It's called: gnome-system-log, you may be able to get that on its own, I donno though. [02:08] kk ill try t [02:08] greezmunkey: that works, thanks...

[02:11] Agu10: system> preferences> appearence> effects [02:11] is there any way to make Xorg boot in something like safe mode using some kind of standard vesa / vga driver? [02:11] Agu10: set effect to "none" [02:11] so that I can enable compiz if I want, using a launcher, but then have it disabled every time I turn ubuntu off [02:11] hey is it any program's that will alow u to lock down ubuntu if a usb pendrive is removed and unlocked when it's inserted agen? [02:11] xangua, Izinucs ^^ [02:12] Hawaiian_Eskimo: Heh, PPTP. [02:12] Agu10: same location.. no launcher available that I know of [02:12] greezmunkey: and? it works, dun it? :P [02:12] ok, but it will be disabled when I turn my computer ON ? [02:12] even if I enabled it ? [02:13] I want that [02:13] Complex question. Had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and installed Windows 7. Trying to restore Grub but the live CD I'm using right now can't find the boot files from the old File System. [02:13] Hawaiian_Eskimo, what is max speed of pptpd over the internet? [02:13] Hawaiian_Eskimo: excellent, that's all :) [02:13] Hawaiian_Eskimo, *you have [02:13] Agu10: if you disable before shutting down then it will be disabled on boot [02:14] Sonsee: like 768kbps. blame my crappy internet. [02:14] peter_aaron: stupid question: you *are* using the 9.10 live cd, and it's grub2, right? [02:14] Izinucs: ok, but I HAVE TO disable it every time I shut down? [02:14] I can make a script, but if it doesnt execute for some reason.... [02:15] Yeah grub2. Sorry I'm fairly new to ubuntu [02:15] Hawaiian_Eskimo, ok. can you give the pptp-options?) if that`s alright... in private [02:15] is the default highlight then middle-click behavior for copy / paste disabled in Lucid?? [02:15] !grub2 | peter_aaron: so you're using this? [02:15] peter_aaron: so you're using this?: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:15] Agu10: yes if you want it disabled on boot [02:15] what is private browsing and how does it work [02:15] Sonsee: I would think it would run at the slowest speed that the wan connection is running at (at the time) [02:16] z3r0-c001: it doesn't record teh history of where you go [02:16] Izinucs, ok, thanks === Pokeruler is now known as Awayruler [02:16] hey guys i am trying to upgrade my pc from 9.10 to 10.4 via VNC client of windows can this be done [02:16] thnx [02:16] Izinucs, is there a way to automatically detect if my hardware suppors compiz before running it?? [02:16] tt5786: do you have a VNC server running on your Ubuntu machine? [02:16] Does anybody know if you can resize an OSX partition so that the Ubuntu partition has more space? [02:16] i am doing it via remote desktop [02:17] Izinucs, because I'm running it in a virtual machine, and it's sometimes where I can't have 3d [02:17] tt5786:yes. you should be able to do it just like you are sitting at the pc. Make sure you have the vnc client running. [02:17] is there away for me to make it so my system requires my password to make online downloads and uploads not just packages and updates within the system [02:18] ok i do and i get the following error "Cant download the release notes. Check your internet connection [02:18] has anyone managed to get vmware tools to install properly after upgrading to maverick? [02:18] tt5786: I've seen people claim you can upgrade via an ssh connection, but I dunno about vnc. Upgrades can (and do) go wrong. Make sure you have some kind of backup/recovery plan in case it all goes horribly wrong... [02:18] Searching for a valid kernel header path... [02:18] The path "" is not valid.

[02:20] tt5786: most people to an upgrade sitting at the console. It can still go wrong, so you still need to do a backup first, unless you like to live dangerously... [02:21] i have every thing backed up [02:21] well i will go to the actual computer to do it tonight thanks guys [02:21] z3r0-c001: I agree with greezmunkey. You'd need to use a firewall to block all access except via a proxy and then configure the proxy to require authentication. Obviously it's not for beginners... [02:22] Sonsee: There are other ways to do it, but they are squid based (apparantly) :p [02:22] Sonsee: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-security-4/password-protect-internet-access-218503/ [02:22] lol, i used to be able to do service gdm stop so i can work on xorg stuff from ssh, but now it seems to reboot the server. Any ideas? [02:22] is there a way to hide evolution in lucid's messaging menu? [02:22] hmmm how does mac acomplish this act [02:23] Will information regarding apple partition schemes be outdated from the forum if it was written in 2005? [02:23] can it be done threw the firefox browser [02:24] <__taco> I had removed all the ppp packages, so what application should instead ? [02:25] z3r0-c001: check out greezmunkey's link above...

[02:25] I am trying to install ubuntu server onto another machine. no matter what i do i can not get it to boot. I used unetboot to put it on both a usb stick and external hard drive. and i have burned 3 disks. i have redownloaded the iso and the bios configs are set up properly [02:25] hi [02:25] <__taco> __taco: I had removed all the ppp packages, so what application should instead ? I can't connect ADSL any more, how I should do? [02:26] wild_bat: The msdos partition has no filesystem, it's just there so that operating systems don't try to write to that part of the drive and clobber it. [02:26] corpse: you're saying the live cd won't boot, or that after installing, the new system won't boot? [02:26] wild_bat: It being supergrub [02:26] __taco, why did you remove it? [02:27] Jordan_U, hehe ~ never try th super grub be4 XD , its grub 2 have lua support ^^ nice ~ [02:27] corpse: do you have sound where you are now? [02:28] hello bng/s [02:28] greezmunkey no just a securety junkie [02:28] Is there an ubuntu channel aimed at apple users? [02:28] wild_bat: If you manually mount /dev/sdb rather than /dev/sdb1 (or whatever your USB drive is called) you can access the iso filesystem. Obviously linux doesn't expect to find an iso filesystem on a USB drive, but if you point it to it then it will mount it without complaint :) [02:28] <__taco> Sonsee: it saied rp-pppoe plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5 when I try to use pppoeconfg to connect ADSL [02:29] can anyone help with a ubuntu/winxp question/prob?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [02:29] z3r0-c001: wiht certain access routers that will run dd-wrt, dd-wrt has the ability to create an Internet portal. It may be possible to add password protection there - you could check that out if you wish.

[02:31] whenever i do a cold boot, it doesn't recognize my hd, says for me to instert system disk and hit enter. but when i ctrl-alt-del after that, grub loads right up [02:31] corpse: You can check this, watch the whole thing though: http://www.vtc.com/products/UbuntuLinux/BootingLiveCD/59896 [02:31] thnx [02:31] after installing ubuntu...winxp cant see the drive its installed to....the bios can....but doublecliking on mycomputer can not see it???...why??...any workarounds/fixes for this? [02:31] greezmunkey: wow, you have great links... [02:31] so I understand the whole "stable" versus "beta" thing, but why are people still using the nspluginwrapper for 64-bit linux flash? [02:32] Adobe now has a beta plugin [02:32] for 64-bit native [02:32] Loshki: #ubuntu will intensify and concentrate your google-fu :) [02:32] fcorredor: you mean xp cant see the drive that Linux is installed to> [02:32] ryty, it works better on old hardware [02:32] yep [02:32] <__taco> hey,any one can help me? [02:32] greezmunkey: Yes it will :-) [02:32] Loshki: keeping a "scratch" file handy helps too. [02:32] gotcha, I installed Adobe's, works better on my newer hardware [02:32] greezmunkey: thanks for the link. i couldnt belive it would be the ISO is not bootable. but i just tryed my external HD on my other pc and it would not boot up there either [02:32] go figure [02:33] fcorredor: windows dosent know what to do with a linux filesystem - so that is sort of normal for xp to ignore it. [02:33] connect gtk+ [02:33] nor would the disks [02:33] corpse: what .iso? [02:33] fcorredor: only thingk it would be doing is asking to 'format' the filesystem if you did see/double click on it. [02:34] greezmunkey: ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64 [02:34] Jordan_U, do you know if the grub2 come with ubuntu got lua aupport? [02:34] corpse: the iso should be bootable when burnt correctly to cd/dvd using 'image' mode... [02:34] ryty, on newer yes, I think. but on old 32 bit systems [02:34] anyone installed 10.04 on a VM ? [02:34] ryty, so maybe people just used to ))) [02:34] ryty, don`t know why) [02:34] corpse: here's the md5sum for it, you may consider checking yours: 8ee25c78f4c66610b6872a05ee9ad81b *ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso [02:34] yaxomoxay: ive installed it to virtualbox befor.

[02:34] Dr_Willis, was it a 10.04 ? [02:34] final? [02:35] yaxomoxay: I installed it into vmware workstation to play with it [02:35] fcorredor: thers are tools for xp for ext2/3 but not ext4 [02:35] !ext3 | fcorredor [02:35] fcorredor: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [02:35] Hi, I'm trying to make a command, and wondered how I would get the result from one command to the next, like this "ls -l | grep john | echo "fancyformat"+$var$" what should i put insted of $var$? [02:35] corpse: something unusual about your hardware/bios? So what *does* happen when you try and boot? [02:35] ubottu 4 by default ?)

If I boot 10.04 from a usb stick its a high res splash on the same hardware. [02:36] Loshki, ok I get an installer error at the end. Host is 10.04 64 bit, guest is 10.04 32 bit. Curiously someone is getting the same problem using Wubi (Bug 575568) [02:36] wild_bat: No, unfortunately. I'm trying to get it included though (I fixed the main 'bug' originally holding it back) [02:36] histo: is it maybee your grub thats not configured to take advantage of your screen? [02:36] nwillems: you may want to check out the advanced bash scripting guide. It has some examples of doing things like that. One way is to use backticks or the $() syntax.

Sounds to me like your bios is confused and trying to boot from the wrong place (just guessing)...

If so look here: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=sdricoh_cs&btnG=Search [02:41] thats what i seems like to me. its not just detecting the cds or removable drives as bootable so it moves on to the other disks [02:41] What's the best way I can backup my current ubuntu partition? [02:43] I wish EXT4 was supported by my mac osx. It would make my life easier. [02:43] !backup | tdhz77 [02:43] tdhz77: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [02:44] tdhz77: clonezilla is nice [02:44] tdhz77: it basically performs a dd of your parition and you can even compress the image. [02:45] I don't know the correct place to advise anyone of this but going to the ubuntu shop from the official page is giving an expired certificate error for shop.canonical.com I figure someone in here should at least be able to pass that information on to the relevant people. [02:45] histo, I'm backing up my osx partition using disk utility, which puts everything in a *.dmg file. Clonezilla has a smiliar function? [02:45] tdhz77: correct [02:46] tdhz77: Its similiar to norton ghost if you've ever used that. [02:46] corpse: do you other bootable media you can try, to tell if it's the cd itself or the boot process? [02:46] tdhz77: are you planning to change your format type from ext4 to ext3 or something? [02:47] greezmunkey, yes sir. I want to be able to share data between ubuntu and osx. (I would dump OSX, but Starcraft 2 just came up, so I want access to my music) [02:47] nwillems: I double check the grub.cfg but I dont' think there is a difference both fresh installs of grub.cfg [02:47] nwillems: sry both fresh installs of grub2 [02:47] anyone know the keybinding to access the indicator applets? [02:47] tdhz77: a good reason to avoid ext4 if ever I heard one. You aren't *required* to use ext4 for Ubuntu... [02:49] Loshki: and Group: If he uses a derivitive of dd to backup his volume, will that image then be compatible with ext3 having been created from ext4??? [02:49] greezmunkey: ext4 has some 'limited' backwards compatiablity with ext3. and can in some cases be mounted as a ext3 filesystem. [02:50] Or - is the data dump filesystem / format independant? [02:50] Can I create a ext3 partition to share data between OSX and Ubuntu? So, I can continue using ext4? [02:50] greezmunkey: a dd dump to a file still has the filesystem of the actual data [02:50] tdhz77: you could - if you got the space somewhere. [02:51] Dr_Willis: that's what I thought, so that is not a solution for tdhz77. [02:51] jono: Your asking for help in here, interesting :) [02:51] greezmunkey: from what im reading at the ext4 wiki -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 [02:51] greezmunkey: I seriously doubt you can dd an ext4 filesystem contents and restore it to ext3. It would work with tar though I would think, but you'd have to do a separate grub restore... [02:51] sebsebseb, we all need help :) [02:51] <__taco> whether there is a tool with gui use to connect ADSL? [02:51] Dr_Willis: filesystem, or hard drive formatting - that was my question. [02:52] histo: If grub isn't configured to take advantage of your screenresolution it won't. [02:52] Dr_Willis: checking that link, thanks. [02:52] __taco: what does your ISP require? [02:52] <__taco> whether there is a tool with gui use for connect ADSL? [02:52] histo: far as I remember its a parameter called vga [02:52] greezmunkey: what was the originbal q? You format a partition with a filesystem. Not a hard drive. (technically i thinkthats right) [02:52] nwillems: that was old vga codes but this is a fresh install on harddisk behaving differently than one installed on usb. [02:53] I keep reading about sync errors when using gparted, but im using reffit not bootcamp, so gparted seems like my only option. I just want OSX for SC2 and I want the other 450Gigs for ubuntu :) [02:53] * Dr_Willis wonders if SC2 will work in wine. [02:53] histo: sure the people making the image for your usb-stick can do magic grub foo to make it use max-res, but when freshly installed it dosen't do the magic === anom01y is now known as Anom01y [02:54] can I make nautilus opaque back again? [02:54] <__taco> there is a problem of my pppoecnfig whit "rp-pppoe plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5" , so I remove all the packages of ppp. now I don't know how to connect my network again. [02:54] Dr_Willis: yes, that's right. The disk contains partitions, each partition contains a filesystem, the filesystems have varying formats... [02:54] Dr_Willis: the original question was: If tdhz77 (who wants to convert from ext4 to ext3) uses dd to image his filesystem, be able to put the data onto an ext3 formatted partition. Seeing that it was originally ext4 when the dd was done. [02:54] i connect my chat account on lucid into Ubuntu server. [02:54] nwillems: It's the same image. [02:54] <__taco> Loshki: there is a problem of my pppoecnfig whit "rp-pppoe plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5" , so I remove all the packages of ppp. now I don't know how to connect my network again. [02:54] nwillems: I don't think you understand what i'm saying. [02:54] how this works? [02:54] greezmunkey: and the answer is NO, not with dd... [02:54] histo: No I didn't catch the exact same image part. Sry. But have you tried the vga code? [02:55] greezmunkey: that wont work. [02:55] hi, I'm trying to use port forwarding with libvirt in an ubuntu karmic host, but the rules inserted by libvirt on the FORWARD chain are preventing me to do this, could someone advise me on what to do about it? [02:55] nwillems: its not a vga code issue [02:55] <__taco> Loshki., there? [02:56] histo: All right, then I'm outta luck. Just thought about that immediatly when you wrote [02:56] Loshki: There you go, so dd or a backup derivitive based on it is not what tdhz77 needs to back up his filesystem. So then what? [02:57] __taco: if your ISP requires pppoe, you need to download and install a pppoe package. Obviously you can't do that if your network is down, you'll have to do it some other way... [02:57] Sorry to beat this into the ground, but it is kind of important, at least it is to me. [02:57] greezmunkey: I think tar would work... [02:57] Could I create a new ext3 partition? [02:58] <__taco> Loshki, the problem is that I don't know what packages I should download and install. [02:58] greezmunkey: if he wants to restore to a diffrent filesystem.. then no thats not a good tool. Other backup tools can restore to differnt filesystems [02:58] Loshki: right, just to capture the data itself. Isn't tar kind of a filesystem format of its own, independant of HDD formatting. [02:58] tdhz77: if you have enough space, absolutely you can create a new ext3 partition, and you can copy files from the ext4 partition to the ext3 partition using 'cp -a'. It won't copy an MBR though [02:59] how i change tty to higher resolution? [02:59] how to add ppa ? [02:59] I have plenty of space. MBR is the apple specifc file system? [02:59] greezmunkey: yes, tar format is an independent format, unrelated to the filesystem format, which is why you can create a tarfile from an ext4 system and restore it to an ext3 system... [02:59] mataks: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" [02:59] <__taco> Loshki, when i try to open ppp that down load form ubuntu official web site, it says I can't open it. [03:00] tdhz77: MBR is the master boot record, you need it when booting ubuntu via grub. [03:00] Loshki: whew, That's all good info - good to have striaght anyways. :) [03:00] Ok, now I remember. [03:00] __taco: what url are you trying to access? [03:01] <__taco> Loshki, can you tell me how to install it in DVD cdrom? [03:01] xangua, ok thnx man [03:01] Has anyone else noticed the "time slider" in Rhythm Box not working? === Cajun is now known as Cajun_Lan_Man [03:03] aka patch cord guy, hehe [03:03] __taco: I'm not sure about installing from dvd. Can't you install it from http://packages.ubuntu.com ? [03:03] <__taco> Loshki , i down load it from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/ppp [03:04] oookay... so I did a little more searching here and found the lshw command, but I looked at the man page and i can't figure out what any of it means. I'm trying to find out if the Computer i bought has a DVD/CD writer or if it's read only or if it's not working because it's broken. [03:04] okay i back again find out how install ubuntu mini on hard disk please === Awayruler is now known as Pokeruler [03:04] __taco: ok, so how will you load it onto your machine which has no network? [03:05] <__taco> Loshki, all the packages seems demaged [03:05] <__taco> I got it in Windows XP [03:05] either that or how keep lxde and remove gnome all together? [03:05] Thanks for the help. To change from the ext4 to ext3 - I will need to compress my data into a tar file. Reinstall ubuntu to ext3, then uncompress the data when I'm done. [03:05] PDG1: so having run lshw, do you now know the model number of your writer? [03:05] __taco: damaged in what way? [03:05] Loshki, GOOD IDEA :D [03:06] PDG1: lshw will tell you that, so will dmesg. lshw is easier to read though. Example: description: CD-R/CD-RW writer [03:06] <__taco> Loshki, I got it in windows xp [03:06] anyone running hostapd on ubuntu lucid? my clients get disconnected due to innactivity and I am having a tough time figuring out why ... the wifi card on the AP is an ath5k card. it worked fine with previous ubuntu versions [03:06] __taco: you said all the packags are damaged? In what way? [03:06] <__taco> Loshki,it says file form wrong [03:07] __taco: who says 'file form wrong'? [03:07] I don't have access to external HD, can I use ubuntu one to backup my files? [03:07] tdhz77, yes [03:07] that's what it's for [03:07] <__taco> when I double click that file [03:07] How about 10 gigs? [03:08] tdhz77, if you have enough space on ubuntu one [03:08] <__taco> Loshki, it says I can't open it when I double click that file [03:08] tdhz77: calculate how long it would take to upload/download 10GB and you will probably want to reconsider... [03:08] it'd take a long time to upload though [03:08] slavik: are you sure it's the ubuntu box? [03:08] yeah [03:08] exit === brad[werk] is now known as bradbook [03:08] doing it wrong katyarogers [03:08] greezmunkey: it's the only thing that changed [03:08] __taco, what kind of file is it? [03:09] slavik: did you google that to see if a bug has been filed, or any other info? [03:09] shazbotmcnasty: thanks, I need a break... [03:09] Loshki, yeah... so as it turns out it's not only just a reader... It's also a terrible drive period [03:09] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty,*.deb [03:09] greezmunkey: let me rephrase, both of them are ubuntu boxes, but one is AP, the other is a netbook [03:09] PDG1: what model ? [03:09] hi everyone... ubuntu 10.04 install SB X-Fi Extreme sound card... great sound... Mic doesn't work... anyone here fixed that b4? [03:09] did you say you were on a windows xp computer __taco ? [03:09] greezmunkey: been doing it for past 30min ... [03:09] Loshki, DVD-ROM GDR8163B [03:09] Loshki, no prob :D [03:10] Alright, I can't create a new partition from the OSX partition. So ubuntu one will be the only option. [03:10] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, got it from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/ppp [03:10] !upgrade [03:10] greezmunkey: not having much luck ... one site I found, it was for a bridged setup which I am not running [03:10] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [03:10] are on you on windows? [03:10] Or are you on ubuntu? [03:10] __taco, [03:10] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, no, I have double system [03:11] __taco, you dual boot? [03:11] <__taco> yes. [03:11] hmm ... [03:11] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, yes [03:11] Does anyone know if there is way to get this steelseries wow mouse to work in Ubuntu ? [03:11] __taco, and right now you're booted into ubuntu? [03:11] Guys, I'm looking to disable the bottom quarter of my touchpad, on a MacBookPro5,4, in order to use this area for clicking. I've not found any documentation on how to do this. [03:11] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, no, i am in windows now [03:11] Hey guys, how are you all? [03:12] __taco, you can't open *.debs in windows [03:12] __taco, only in windows and debian systems. [03:12] NOOO [03:12] <__taco> yes, I know that [03:12] only in ubuntu and debian systems [03:12] slavik: Here's something, I have to check what version I have here: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hostap/21159 [03:12] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, I know that [03:12] okay [03:12] from everything I am reading so far.. it seems that i might have to install ALSA along with creative's unsupported driver [03:12] I changes my login sound, but now when i do login with my user dont came out any sound, but when i do login as root, it works, does anyone know why? [03:12] did you try redownloading it? [03:12] hoping for a simpler fix [03:12] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, I open it under ubuntu [03:12] PDG1: yes, cheap & nasty. Buy a cheap samsung SH-S223L from newegg for $22. Great value... [03:13] thanks for the help shazbotmcnasty, loshki, dr_willis, greezmunkey ... You inspire me to be good "at the computer." Take care. [03:13] tdhz77, lol k bye bye [03:13] tdhz77: good luck.. [03:13] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, can you have a try it for me? [03:13] yes [03:14] slavik: I'll be no help on that, I don't have hostapd installed, sorry. :( [03:14] __taco, which one is it? [03:14] stealthii: I didn't even know such a thing is possible. Er, are you sure it's possible... [03:14] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, down load a file from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/ppp and double click it [03:14] which one [03:14] there are several [03:14] greezmunkey: installing backported modules ... maybe that will install a newer one [03:15] lsmod ath5k [03:15] bah [03:15] __taco: are you sure you downloaded the correct one for your architecture? [03:15] <__taco> ppp 2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu2 in i386 (Release) or [03:15] <__taco> ppp 2.4.5~git20081126t100229-0ubuntu3 in i386 (Release) [03:15] that is a source package [03:16] slavik: lsmod ath5k, bah ?? [03:16] oh nvm [03:16] it's not [03:16] wrong window, wrong command [03:16] slavik: nice. [03:16] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, i386 binary is source files? [03:17] dmesg [03:17] grr [03:17] oh nvm [03:17] it's not [03:17] rebooting router, brb greezmunkey [03:17] also __taco it works fine [03:17] __taco: please paste the output of 'lsb_release -a' to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [03:18] <__taco> Loshki, sure i got the right package for my architecture [03:18] right click the file and select "gdebi package installer' if you can find it [03:18] Loshki, well I've actually got another one hanging around here... but I played Dodgeball pretty hard a couple days ago and my muscles are pretty tired... so I don't feel like doing too much [03:18] PDG1: it'll wait till tomorrow... :-) [03:18] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, it works fine? [03:19] yes. [03:19] is wine installed by default on ubuntu? [03:19] Arphetic, I don't believe so. [03:19] Arphetic, no [03:19] could someone help me with cryptsetup? I updated from 9.10 to 10.04, and now when I boot into kernel-2.6.32-22-generic, cryptluks still asks for the passphrase but pressing enter does nothing, it's very weird [03:19] Arphetic: no [03:19] NO [03:19] also... this is a dual boot machine I have... does Windows XP have a way to mount ext3? [03:19] PDG1, yes [03:19] PDG1: I woudn't recommend it anymore though [03:19] PDG1: yes but not a good idea its unstable [03:20] poo :( [03:20] Loshki: Will that drive erad and write cd's as well? [03:20] PDG1, http://www.fs-driver.org/ [03:20] it works [03:20] it's just rikidy [03:20] shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:20] >_< [03:20] Should I have more than 1 mousex (where x is some number) in /sys/class/input ? [03:20] PDG1: it worked alright last time I did it, however best to keep Windows away from your Linux partition really, think about it, get a nasty virus in WIndows, bye bye your Ext3 partition data as well [03:20] hmm [03:20] maybe you're right [03:20] well I just want read access [03:21] <__taco> Loshki,sorry, I can't do that now. i am under windows [03:21] greezmunkey: the samsung SH-S223L? It does it all except blu-ray... [03:21] PDG1: have your good data on the Linux partition, and use Windows even less as a result :D [03:21] sebsebseb: umm no it still wouldent effect linux [03:21] PDG1: Ubuntu can read and write to Windows NTFS no problem, by the way [03:21] Loshki: pretty cheap, nice tip - thanks :) [03:22] windows for games (for now) and Linux for everything else [03:22] sebsebseb, I'm not even sure why i need/want an XP partition [03:22] linuxmonster: windows for some games linux for most [03:22] linuxmonster: oh one of those, I would like to point out, that there are some pretty good opensource native Linux games as well [03:22] <`blackmk4`linux> i have two nics in this computer which are both plugged in [03:22] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, i copy it to USB disk, so some wrong with it? [03:22] linuxmonster: wine can handel alot of games well [03:22] <`blackmk4`linux> my box is headless, how can i switch active nics [03:22] well I'm going to reboots [03:22] greezmunkey: I keep an eye on http://slickdeals.net/ when I'm looking for hardware... [03:23] PDG1: yeah be on Ubuntu mainly instead of Windows :) [03:23] seb I know Linux can game I just finished a session of assualt cube actuaklly [03:23] __taco, why don't you download it on the ubuntu computer, and use it for the ubuntu computer. [03:23] `blackmk4`linux: edit /etc/network/interfaces ... then restart networking [03:23] Why do you need to transfer it? Does the computer not have internet access? [03:23] but I also love flight sim and sorry Flightgear just dont cut it lol [03:23] linuxmonster: alright, well theres this idea that Linux distros suck for gaming, which isn't true [03:23] <`blackmk4`linux> alright, thanks [03:23] shazbotmcnasty: because his network is fried on Ubuntu... [03:23] `blackmk4`linux: ssh in [03:23] oh [03:23] hence the ppp dl [03:23] lmao [03:23] <`blackmk4`linux> how do you rename eth1 to eth0 [03:24] shazbotmcnasty: :-) [03:24] `blackmk4`linux: umm you dont [03:24] I have a question: I've got 2 NIC's eth0 y eth1.... ¿How Can I use one or another making some rule to conmutate them by the host ip? [03:24] also no __taco you can move it to a usb device and it will work, but if you didn't let it right all the way, or during the process it got corrupt, then it would not work. [03:24] <`blackmk4`linux> you can, i've done it [03:24] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, no networking [03:24] Assualt Cube == compiz ?? [03:24] hi everyone [03:24] <`blackmk4`linux> i just don't remember which file i need to edit to change a nics name [03:24] so __taco I would boot back into windows, as you're in right now, download it AGAIN, and put it on the USB stick, AGAIN [03:25] hi everyone [03:25] hi [03:25] Loshki: if it's a synaptics touchpad, i should be able to set the boundaries of which the touchpad operates the mouse pointer. [03:25] this is the next Linux game I install http://freshmeat.net/projects/conquest [03:25] greezmunkey, I thought you couldn't have compiz on with assaultcube [03:25] Ferchux: conmutate? [03:25] I get this error msg when using pppoeconf : [03:25] CHAP authentication failed: Reject(82): Read c280_callstatus table failed when reset local postpaid user [03:25] though is not linux only but I can live with that [03:25] `blackmk4`linux: But if it is using dhcp, you will need to quickly switch ports, or reboot instead of restarting the network. [03:25] does someone know how to set up the bluetooth on a toshiba laptop??? [03:25] can you explain me what does it mean? [03:25] !bluetooth | mjrdelgado [03:25] mjrdelgado: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [03:26] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, that file is so small.. [03:26] <`blackmk4`linux> i plan on putting together a shellscript and running it in screen [03:26] <`blackmk4`linux> lol [03:26] yeap! ah, sorry Loshki switch! [03:26] stealthii: maybe in windows, but last time I messed with a laptop touchpad, I was lucky to get basic functionality... [03:26] no conmutate [03:26] :p [03:26] thanx, I'll give it a try [03:26] `blackmk4`linux: is there a reason for wanting it changed? [03:26] <`blackmk4`linux> yeah, OCD tendencies [03:26] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, so it has enough time finished to copy it [03:27] __taco, make sure that you remove the usb stick correctly [03:27] histo: to lazy to configure eth1 to be a primary maybe [03:27] just try it again... it could have got corrupted in the move, even if the whole thing did write [03:27] <`blackmk4`linux> ok found the file [03:27] <`blackmk4`linux> /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [03:28] `blackmk4`linux: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file === TannerF is now known as monit_r [03:28] Ferchux: you can configure certain routes to make them go via eth0 or eth1, if that's what you mean, by using the 'route' command. It's hard to get them correct though... [03:29] `blackmk4`linux: ahh you beat me [03:29] <`blackmk4`linux> :) [03:29] Loshki: might be a point. I just want to use the button underneath the touchpad to actually click, avoiding the mouse pointer moving when i do so. [03:29] <`blackmk4`linux> time to sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:29] * `blackmk4`linux crosses fingers [03:29] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, ok I try to do that again, thx, BTW, whether it need other dependes? [03:29] stealthii: i say just decress its sentivty [03:29] thanks Loshki, I wanna read about de route command [03:29] <`blackmk4`linux> hrm [03:29] Ferchux: buena suerte... [03:29] <`blackmk4`linux> i wonder if that worked [03:29] Ferchux: man route [03:30] __taco, it would still open, and tell you if you needed the dependencies [03:30] <`blackmk4`linux> nope [03:30] __taco: no more 'wrong file format' messages? === monit_r is now known as TannerF [03:30] on windows i can middle click and get the auto scroll. how do i get this in ubuntu [03:31] renegaid: in your mouse prefs [03:31] __taco, it depends on all of this: libc6 (>= 2.11);libpam-;libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-13.1);libpam0g (>= 0.99.7.1);libpcap0.8 (>= 0.9.8);netbase; procps [03:31] anyone ever played The babylon project in Linux its a freespace 2 clone [03:32] <__taco> shazbotmcnasty, maybe it is permission problem [03:32] <__taco> Loshki,maybe it is permission problem [03:32] no [03:32] it's not [03:32] !anyone | linuxmonster [03:32] linuxmonster: 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? [03:32] there is nothing for that in mouse settings. this is a firefox setting [03:33] !chicken [03:33] __taco: what os version are you running. And on what architecture? [03:33] shazbotmcnasty: ubottu has an entry for chicken? [03:33] renegaid: then edit the preferences in fx [03:33] hmmm i have this ouput on update-grub~ http://pastebin.com/7NAK9a24 ,should i worry about it? [03:33] <__taco> Loshki, ubuntu-10.04 and i386 [03:33] __taco: 32 or 64 bit? [03:33] Loshki, nope [03:34] <__taco> 32bit for OS [03:34] <__taco> hardware is 64 bits [03:35] __taco, Loshki i386 != 64 bit [03:35] How do you check the level of fragmentation of an ext4 file system. [03:35] ?* [03:35] <__taco> edbian, i know. === Anom01y is now known as anom01y [03:35] edbian: thanks. I can't keep track of these things any more... [03:35] <__taco> i installed 32bit OS [03:35] greezmunkey: seems the client is not responding to eap packets or some such [03:36] phoul, I'm not sure but I can tell you ext4 automatically cleans up fragmentation on the fly [03:36] phoul, So you don't have to! === anom01y is now known as Anom01y [03:36] no setting for it in preference. It worked by default on windows. [03:36] !defrag | phoul [03:36] phoul: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [03:36] Orry? [03:36] well thats old [03:36] cuz its not ext3 anymore =\ [03:36] Someone needs to update that bot! [03:36] phoul: you don't need to defrag [03:36] phoul, ext4 does the same trick [03:37] edbian: you can offer a suggestion [03:37] phoul, I would also like to know how to check fragmentation as well [03:37] found it [03:37] ? [03:37] edbian: dunno. When fsck finishes, doesn't it say something about fragmentation? [03:37] hello all [03:38] does anyone use Lubuntu? [03:38] I just installed Ubuntu 10.4, and in addition to it not booting, just like every other time I've upgrade Ubuntu, it's now hiding the "hibernate" and "suspend" options, without any explanation. [03:38] Does anyone know how to re-enable them. [03:38] joel_davila, Hi1 [03:38] I really like Ubuntu, but making my system unbootable for the last 5 upgrades is retarded... [03:38] lol i went into hibernate earlier and when i came out of it hp warned me i went into hibernate due to overheating [03:38] it was weird. [03:39] backup your files and do a fresh install [03:39] I love how you can't boot, but it's working. [03:39] hello, does u know how to configure linux to send log to snmp server?? [03:39] como entro a ubuntu serves en espa;ol [03:39] phoul: temperature control on laptops isn't as good as on windows, I believe, Same for battery life... [03:39] !spanish charless40 [03:39] Loshki: i have fine temp control lol [03:39] !spanish | charless40 [03:39] charless40: 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. [03:40] it didnt overheat [03:40] didnt even get warm [03:40] phoul: congratulations. Sounds like you found a bug... [03:40] lol, im pretty sure its prolly just my install, its been upgraded from alpha 1 [03:40] coldboot|home, : i agree with you . [03:40] lucid* [03:41] phoul: well put /home on a seperate partition and reinstall then is always an option. [03:42] im reformatting it the first chance i get, i never have good luck upgrading through alphas and betas lol [03:42] phoul, Nobody does, that's why they're alphas and betas [03:45] * iflema says who? [03:45] quite... [03:46] phoul: I never upgrade. I always do scratch installs. There are enough variables as it is... [03:47] !jaunty [03:47] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 [03:47] is support for Jaunty still available? [03:48] CaptainTrek: Yes [03:48] CaptainTrek: yes [03:48] CaptainTrek, yep [03:48] is there any tool or program I can install to get my time synced with a timeserver? [03:48] CaptainTrek until october this year [03:48] CaptainTrek, npd [03:48] npd. [03:48] * CaptainTrek opens terminal [03:48] CaptainTrek, ntp maybe? [03:49] ntp, yes [03:49] is there a way to get gnome subitles to work with rmvb files?

[03:49] CaptainTrek, ntpd is the network time protocol daemon [03:50] is there a tools to limit the uploading speed of rsync? [03:50] I can't install 10.04 on http://www.biostar-usa.com/ideqdetails.asp?model=ideq+200sb [03:50] yeah, but GUI config isnt working on my system [03:50] should I restart for that? [03:50] CaptainTrek, edit /etc/ntpd.conf [03:50] wildbat: there are flags you can give rsync e.g. bwlimit [03:50] i'll just restart first [03:50] and come back her [03:50] e [03:50] CaptainTrek, good luck [03:51] Loshki, @o@ O! thanks XD [03:53] so... [03:53] GUI config for ntp isnt an option in GNOME [03:53] what file do I edit?> [03:53] CaptainTrek, /etc/ntp.conf [03:54] and to set it to autoupdate on boot? [03:54] CaptainTrek, It auto updates all the time. That's the point of it [03:54] okay [03:54] what servers can I specify? [03:54] Jan\: hrm on what? some sort of gaming machine? === eugene__ is now known as eGe [03:55] could someone help me get mplayer's seeking to work correctly with rmvb files? [03:56] CaptainTrek desktop menu System / Administration / Time and Date [03:56] ah it was hiding [03:56] thanks iflema [03:57] CaptainTrek, It probably didn't exist until the ntp was installed [03:57] aliciapg: it's a nasty proprietary format. I'm not sure there's anything you can twiddle that will magically make it work.... [03:57] edbian: no i saw it there, but the GUI instructions said right click the time in the notifications bar area [03:57] regardless, got it working [03:57] i think [03:58] CaptainTrek, ha ha. That's the thing. Is it actually working? Who knows. Is your clock off by .003168 seconds? [03:58] Loshki: ugh... i know, but it's the only choice i had and i don't want to lose video quality [03:58] is there a way to get a grub console after i've already booted? [03:58] Loshki: probably have to convert it? [03:58] CaptainTrek: you can do a one time update at boot time by adding something like: /usr/sbin/ntpdate utcnist.colorado.edu to your /etc/rc.local [03:59] histo, In a terminal "grub" [03:59] edbian: I tired that [03:59] edbian: tried [03:59] histo, as root [03:59] CaptainTrek itll show up in the syslog soon or restart the ntp service and itll sync straight away..... [03:59] aliciapg: well, like I say, I don't know of any user configurable knobs that will help, so all I can suggest is yes, convert it [03:59] edbian: nope [03:59] histo, Works for me! :) [03:59] iflema: its synced [03:59] it works [04:00] Loshki: T-T thanks though [04:00] I have the latest ubuntu server installed and a static ip set on eth0 and it is connected to an adsl modem router [04:00] edbian: in lucid? [04:00] edbian: you have to remember.. debian != Ubuntu [04:00] but I can't ping the gateway, any idea? [04:00] Loshki: i'm going to keep looking and if i can't find any other alternative i guess that's what i'll have to do >-< [04:00] bastid_raZor, :) [04:00] I then tried the settings on my windows laptop and it works fine [04:00] aliciapg: by all means. And feel free to ask here again for a 2nd opinion if you like... [04:01] edbian: and its grub2 [04:01] when I ping the gateway, it says "network unreachable" [04:01] Loshki: haha i think i will thanks [04:01] histo, Yep. I have no idea how to get to that. try: "which grub" [04:01] edbian: its not there [04:01] edbian: there is no binary called grub on my machine [04:02] histo, Yeah. Grub2?? I'm just guessing here [04:02] aliciapg: oh, almost forgot, ask in #mplayer... [04:02] edbian: no i've already been there [04:02] whenever i try to boot my LiveUSB in Grub2 it keeps on giving me the error "unkown command 'initrd'" === charles_ is now known as Guest84847 [04:02] Loshki: oh thanks didn't really think about that >-< [04:03] hey, when I boot my initrd, it doesn't allow me to enter my cryptsetup password, I'm thinking maybe it has an incorrect keyboard layout selected, can I set one in my initramfs config? [04:04] I really don't want to restart to run vbeinfo [04:05] histo: heh, i was in the same situation yesterday. i found no way to get a grub console to run it. i had to restart. [04:05] does anyone know how to get mplayer's seeking to work correctly with rmvb files? [04:05] anyone running hostapd on ubuntu lucid? my clients get disconnected due to innactivity and I am having a tough time figuring out why ... the wifi card on the AP is an ath5k card. it worked fine with previous ubuntu versions ... google hasn't helped so far [04:06] for mplayer to play rmvb files you need codecs [04:06] hey all i am having a problem with my gnome-panels it keeps freezing [04:06] bastid_raZor: i'm going to find a way [04:06] i have done sudo killall gnome-panel [04:06] but then the computer freezes for like a min [04:06] slopslaptop: have you tried to restore the defailt config of the panel¿ [04:07] !panels [04:07] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [04:07] no i have not [04:07] stby let me try now [04:07] could anyone help me with file and printer sharing from ubuntu to a windows 7 machine [04:08] histo: The splash is probably lower resolution on your installed system because you're using proprietary drivers. [04:08] I had flash on 64 bit lucid that didn't quite work right (I noticed it using google analytics) and it was whatever I found in the synaptics package manager. So I went here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash and no I'm up and running. [04:08] xangua, that seamed to have worked thnasks [04:08] oh for gods sake, why is it that if i ask anything that is based on my bootloader, i get no help, yet if i were to ask why my speakers dont play audo, 50 people would try to help? [04:08] My wife is on 32 bit lucid, and I'm wondering what the best way to get better flash for her is. She notices on facebook, and if this doesn't work right... well... [04:09] CkhiKuzad, democracy rules here bud. Audio is more fun to help with! [04:09] craigbass1976: install restricted-extras [04:09] Jordan_U: I think its grubs config is different from the install cd. [04:09] ubuntu-restricted-extras if she's using gnome [04:09] Jordan_U: but that would make sense. [04:09] CkhiKuzad: People can only help with what they're familiar with. Right now it seems that audio people are awake, and bootloader people aren't. [04:09] if I put a terminal in the desktop... [04:10] can I do it without compiz? [04:10] well we need to wake up the bootloader people! [04:10] CkhiKuzad: Just be patient, repeat your question every 30 minutes or so, and sooner or later someone will be able to help you [04:10] Heh, kb fail in irssi... [04:10] Jordan_U: I'm trying to run configure grub for a higher res so plymouth will be happy again and not 320x400 or whatever god awefull res its at now. [04:10] histo, From everything I see you can't access the grub command line without doing it at boot time! I don't like that "feature" [04:10] bootloader people are working [04:10] Flannel, i will have time to repeat my question 48 times a day as of next saturday, until then, i really need to know if there is a channel for grub2 [04:11] edbian: me neither its something they got rid of from old grub. [04:11] CkhiKuzad: /j #grub thats where i'm at now [04:11] CkhiKuzad: #grub may be able to help you. [04:11] !restricted-extras [04:11] CkhiKuzad, The only channel on this server is #grub [04:11] ! restricted-extras [04:12] craigbass1976, Apparently there isn't anything to say about that! [04:13] grub is different since ubuntu 9.10, it appears to me that it is not easy to config [04:13] edbian, I see that. Thought I messed it up first with no space [04:13] craigbass1976: restricted extras installs adobe's plugin, codecs, fonts, etc [04:14] craigbass1976, try "aptitude show restricted-extras" [04:15] edbian, It's already installed, and I think the flash I'm about to install is a repeat of what I uninstalled. We'll see [04:16] I'll be glad when everybody moves to html5 ... [04:16] does anyone know how to save the resolution for the next booting with Lubuntu?? [04:16] craigbass1976, Be sure you only have 1 flash player installed on your system! More than 1 and they tend to block one another and confuse the shit out of the user! [04:16] craigbass1976, OMG me too! [04:16] is samba needed in 10.04 for file and print sharing? [04:16] thebruce, file and print sharing with windows computers yes. [04:17] guys, i want to use my usb joypad as a mouse, guide me please [04:17] edbian, are there any settings i need to configure with samba for windows to recognize my files and printer? [04:17] edbian, Nope, I only had one, and for some reason it was screwy. Maybe something borked in the upgrade from hardy [04:17] thebruce, short answer: yes [04:17] Hi [04:17] Trying to setup a remote here with LIRC. I can recieve commands (tested with irw command). Now, how to map these commands to functions in programs? [04:17] i have an email list in spreadsheet but there are multiple entries of some. what's the easiest way to reduce the list to one entry of each? [04:18] After doing some installations in ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx, firefox didn't start at all. [04:18] After searching, I found out that ~/.mozilla directory was given to root. [04:18] I changed the owner of ~/.mozilla to a user. [04:18] It started working again [04:18] Why did the owner of ~/.mozilla change? [04:19] hey guys, I just got a Lenovo x100e and instaled ubuntu on it; it crashes immediately after boot; what logfile should I look in to see what's going on? [04:19] (I can boot with the usb key to look at logs etc) [04:19] I don't know what circumstances it can change under. [04:19] crocket: maybe you laucnhed firefox with sudo, bad idea [04:19] clear [04:19] xangua : I never executed firefox on terminal [04:21] does anyone know of a program that can subtitle rmvb files? [04:21] vi? [04:22] also, since 10.4 I can't seem to see the grub menu; is there a key I need to press to show it? [04:22] crocket, Did you ever sudo chmod -R owner:someGroup ~/* [04:22] ?? [04:22] can anyone help me get my bttv card to deinterlace? [04:22] frooh_: press shift after POST [04:22] edbian : only to give ~/.mozilla back to its owner. [04:22] s/chmod/chown [04:22] crocket, It was 1/2 joking :P [04:22] difficult joke [04:23] crocket, yeah... [04:23] bastid_raZor: thanks so much [04:23] Jordan_U: yeah it looks like the propreitary drivers are doing it. Do you know of a way to fix that? [04:23] guys help me out: how do i use my joypad as a mouse [04:23] frooh_: you're welcome. [04:24] eduardopl: try qjoypad [04:25] i can't run ./config for it, xangua [04:25] btw, i just can't run bash scripts [04:25] why is that? === thb|Ou7 is now known as thibow [04:25] i have an email list in spreadsheet but there are multiple entries of some. what's the easiest way to reduce the list to one entry of each?

[04:26] <__taco> eduardopl: ./configure [04:26] eduardopl: who owns the bash file you're trying to run?

Convert it to something easily handled (avi?) and take the hit on quality... [04:29] CkhiKuzad: erm, it's non-trivial if you haven't done it before. Grab the source package, apply the patch (man patch), rebuild the package, install, maintain [04:29] bastid had the right args, my bad [04:29] thanks histo, i'm already downloading it [04:29] <`blackmk4`linux> tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 759/inetd [04:29] eduardopl: k. yeah that seems to be what everyone is using [04:29] <`blackmk4`linux> what would cause inetd to take it instead of proftpd [04:29] hello everyone. i've lost my notification bubbles with gwibber...the icon just turns green now. can anyone help?

I wonder if there will be a patch to "fix it" [05:42] ic [05:42] I've done all the instructions but when I get to the sudo apt-get part I think I need internet [05:42] Don't I? [05:43] Yes, you do. [05:43] How would I get those two things that it's trying to install on windows so I can take it over to Ubuntu? [05:43] Would an install not work so well if I'm installing it on an old laptop and I have an external monitor hooked up? [05:43] asd [05:44] I'm sorry? [05:44] MikeHoncho: depends on the specs of the laptop.. the external monitor shouldn't make any difference [05:44] LA, if I understand your question, then use a samba or an ftp server that is accessible from both machines. [05:45] Anyone in here been able to install their nvidia drivers? [05:45] Severian: I'm really new to this whole linux thing, I honestly don't know what that means. [05:45] Izinucs: It's an old Dell laptop that keeps failing at the "install hardware" phase. [05:45] MikeHoncho, how old a laptop? How much memory does it have? [05:45] MikeHoncho: how much ram? [05:45] 1gb of memory. 2006 or so. [05:45] mac_linux: i have no problem [05:45] Had XP on it. Worked slow, but worked. [05:45] MikeHoncho, that is not an old laptop. That is better than most of my machines. [05:45] Good to hear. [05:46] anyone from Malaysia? There will be a Lucid Release party, situated at Fly Bar Seksyen 8 PJ this saturday 8pm! [05:46] mac_linux, me neither [05:46] mac_linux, what's your card? [05:46] Is there a way to see what hardware it's installing specifically when the install fails? [05:46] I know some of the Nvidia cards have a problem with the 22 kernel === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [05:47] like the GT420 [05:47] its a GeForce FX Go5200 [05:47] Remmaze, hasn't Lucid been out for a while? [05:47] LA, a lesson on basic servers is probably not a good idea in the irc channel here. Go use google and read up on ftp servers. They are pretty easy to setup and use. [05:48] My screen isn't able to be detected, so when I rebooot after install, the screen isn't able to load after. [05:48] sin_tax, almost 3 weeks, now. [05:48] yes, but we`re organizing the party now, since everybody are busy with their work... [05:48] Cool [05:49] Where is Ubuntu's Control Center at? I remember seeing it when I ran Gnome-Shell's PPA and I see it now on Linux Mint 9. Isn't it on Ubuntu? === computer_ is now known as ryaxnbuntu [05:50] Remmaze: do you have to be from Malaysia? Can others come to it? What about me from Canada? [05:50] That's a bit of a drive. [05:50] everybody are invited, even Microsoft user, hahaha.... [05:50] Roasted: its under system [05:50] So, eveyrone is telling me this should install. [05:50] Roasted: System>prefs>menu editor, you will find it there, to add it back in [05:50] Yet it's not. [05:50] This makes me sad. [05:50] well I'm hoping they're providing transportation, you know...in case there is drinking involved ;) [05:51] Remmaze: lol [05:51] this is the link on FB : http://www.facebook.com/pages/U2L-Custom-Hand-Painted-Shoe-Shop/339640218453?v=info&ref=search#!/event.php?eid=127948693887896&index=1 [05:51] Does Ubuntu / Linux have the same memory limitations of Windows (i.e. need 64bit version to access 'lots' of RAM)? I don't see a 64 bit version anywhere...? [05:51] oh sorry, wrong link, my bad hehehe [05:51] GeekSquid, I dont have menu editor [05:51] lets try again... [05:51] MikeHoncho: sin_tax that limitation is true with all 32 bit OS's [05:51] MikeHoncho, I did not say that. I said you had plenty of memory. You may have an unsopported video card or some other problem. [05:51] Remmaze: #ubuntu-offtopic (or #ubuntu-locoteams) for non-support related stuff (and LoCo related stuff) [05:51] RoDiMus-X...do you know the fix? [05:51] sin_tax: I'm on 64 bit lucid right now [05:52] sin_tax: and there is a 64 bit version avialable on the download page.. [05:52] Okay. I'll try looking through that some. [05:52] mac_linux: for the nvidia problem [05:52] roasted, right click on menu bar.. [05:52] hello, I have a macbook with rEFIt and ubuntu installed to both the 4th and 5th partition of my HD. When I choose to boot from the 5th partition, rEFIt actually transfers to grub on the 4th partition, not grub on the 5th partition. Doesn anyone know why? [05:52] Maybe I should try to use 9.10. [05:52] mac_linux: not if you can't get the kernel to load [05:52] Ah, I see under 'alternative options' now.. It was hiddin in AJAX.. Thanks Izinucs nd pat5star [05:52] just search Ubuntu-MY Lucid Lynx Release Party on FB [05:52] Is there a win32 usb creator? So I can try installing from USB? Hopefully faster. [05:52] xnockout, k. got it. now Im at the menu editor. Now what? [05:52] Yes, the nvidia problem. [05:53] the 5th partition does not have an MBR entry. [05:53] sorry, tell me what your problem? [05:53] roasted,sorry, tell me what your problem? [05:54] Roasted: it is under System [05:54] xnockout, just trying to find if ubuntu has a control center. Im on linux mint 9 in a VM and it has it. I also noticed that Gnome Shell has it too. Wondering if Ubuntu has it. [05:54] GeekSquid, I mean the ACTUAL control center. Not just the control center "options" [05:55] Roasted: we don't support Mint, there is a channel for that on spotchat [05:55] !mintsupport | Roasted [05:55] Roasted: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org === themind is now known as RoDiMuS-X [05:55] roasted, try this.. #gnome-control-center [05:55] GeekSquid, I'm not asking for linux mint support. If you noticed, I'm asking a question about UBUNTU in regard to something I saw in Linux Mint AND GNome Shell within Ubuntu. === ryaxnbuntu is now known as ryaxnb [05:57] when I go to install ubuntu onto my drive the "prepare partitions" window is empty... I can mount the drive fine and it sees the windows partition that is already on it. but no matter what I do the installer won't see the drive to install it. [05:57] Did the 9.10 version have issues with nvida drivers? [05:59] joebob, if there is a windows partition on it, it is not empty. [06:00] hello anyone here [06:00] mac_linux: i haven't had any nvidia issues but I am also using GeForce 7 Series [06:00] hello, cmalo [06:00] mac_linux: i would check the ubuntu support forums [06:01] had been attempting to install the new x64 version of Ubuntu and seems to just show me a small image lower part of the screen and nothing else [06:01] Roasted: gnome shell is in the repos of ubuntu [06:01] Severian, there is over 300GB free empty space on the drive but it doesn't show anything in the prepare partitions part of the installer. like it doesn't even see the drive... [06:01] Izinucs, I know.. [06:01] leaving [06:02] joebob, select the root drive and then add partitions. [06:02] there is no drive to select Severian [06:02] cmalo, check md5 of your iso.. [06:02] hi [06:02] empty blank window [06:02] just downloaded and burned the other night but ok [06:02] hello; anyone know if updating my kernel after upgrading from karmic to lucid is worth doing? [06:02] joebob,, when you say 300 gb free space, do you mean that windows says there is 300gb free? [06:03] I ran the upgrade and have kernel 2.6.31-20 [06:03] newbielOK: I haven't noticed much of a difference [06:03] not sure what i started out with or if it actually did get updated [06:03] newbie10K: have you rebooted? [06:03] Linux dan-ubuntu 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [06:03] Hi [06:03] i did reboot [06:04] Severian, no I mean the windows partition is 75GB and there is 320+ Free empty unpartitioned space. gparted sees the drive just fine but in the INSTALLER it doesn't see the drive is even there... there are no devices or partitions in the window. it's empty [06:04] and how or where can I check the checksum [06:04] i looked at the list in software center and it seems that 32 is the most recent version [06:04] not a great leap forward [06:04] you should be running 2.6.32 if you have a completed upgrade to lucid [06:05] joebob, how many partitions are on the drive now? [06:05] the difference between 32 and 64 is that 32 cannot access over 4 gigs of memory [06:06] Is gnome-shell functional on 10.04? I know it's in the repo's but is it worth the effort? [06:06] RoDiMuS-X: not exactly... if your processor supports pae, it can access over 4 gigs in 32 bit [06:06] Severian, 1 ntfs of 75GB the rest of the 500GB drive is free. i tried to create a couple ext4's to see if it would see them but it didn't so I deleted them [06:06] cmalo, #md5sum ubuntu-x.xx-desktop-xxx.iso [06:06] joebob, Do you get to a screen that looks similar to this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/u9/8.png [06:07] Izinucs, i use it on my macbook pro [06:07] Geeksquid: what processor supports pae? [06:07] xnockout: on windows xtm and fund a doc [06:07] joebob: what do you think about it? [06:07] thanks RoDiMuS-X, I've been checking. It's a bit challenging I must admit. I'm getting a a bunch of different info. [06:07] Severian, no I don't get that screen. [06:07] mac_linux: trial and error thats what I do all day at work [06:08] Izinucs, I like it. I wish there were a few things different but it is usable for me. doesn't hinder me but I like compiz plugins that don't exist for it [06:08] joebob, lets go into a pm and you can be more specific about what you are seeing. Is that OK? [06:08] RoDiMuS-X: a lot of processors do, I can think of several, core2duo, core quad, xeon, some p4's [06:08] Yep..I wish I could at least go into consol mode so I don't have to reinstall over again. [06:08] GeekSquid: any AMD? [06:08] cmalo, your mean? [06:08] hello every one [06:09] * castle` wishes fruity loops had linux support [06:09] Severian, my screen looks like this: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/08/05/ubuntu-install-prepare-partitions.png but under device there is nothing it's blank. [06:09] RoDiMuS-X: I wouldn't know, I use nothing but intel, except for my laptop which is old and max'd out at 1.5g ram [06:10] joebob, You seem to have the partitions you need. What is the problem? [06:10] PAE maps up to 64 GB of physical memory into a 32-bit (4 GB) virtual address space using either 4-KB or 2-MB pages. [06:10] Hello :D [06:10] Severian, I can't install ubuntu. that screenshot I sent you isn't mine. mine is completely blank [06:10] Thanks for the info Geeksquid [06:10] ok my checksums are the same [06:11] so that's not it [06:11] my father's comp cant install Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and when I try to install it via wubi it says no hard drive in comp,and when trying boot it says there are no OS installed but he wants to save his Windows... [06:11] I have 10.04 with btrfs-tools and I want to convert the root fs in-place (while booted) to btrfs... but btrfs-convert complains that the fs is mounted... is it possible to do this without booting to a livecd? [06:11] Seveas, there are no devices in my window at all. under device there aren't any /dev's the whole window is blank [06:11] like it doesn't see my drive [06:11] understand? [06:12] Geeksquid: I did find out AMD Athlon supports PAE [06:12] cmalo, can be more specific? [06:12] cmalo, about your problem.. [06:13] Grr I didn't receive any answer from this channel yet(asked 5 questions till now) [06:13] xnockout, I just see something like a keyboard and some circle with a person in it when I boot from the cd and nothing else [06:14] ccd: No. [06:14] <|corpse|> i keep installing the ubuntu 10.04 to my usb drive but i cannot seem to make it bootable. i put win7 on it and that booted just fine now i went back to ubuntu on the drive and it fails [06:14] Jordan_U, ok, no prob, thanks [06:14] joebob: it's installed.. how do I activate it? (gnome-shell) [06:15] cmalo, you can go to desktop? [06:15] |corpsel|: did you use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [06:15] did you do repo install? if so I don't know how. I source installed it. [06:15] my father's comp cant install Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and when I try to install it via wubi it says no hard drive in comp,and when trying boot it says there are no OS installed but he wants to save his Windows... [06:15] joebob: yes repo [06:15] xnockout, far as I get I never get any other options [06:15] join [06:15] |corpse|: Are you making sure that grub gets installed to the flash drive and not somewhere else (Ubuntu has a long standing bug that it always installs grub to the first drive, even if it's not the drive you are installing everything else to) [06:15] Izinucs, alt+f2 gnome-shell --replace [06:16] xnockout, never had this type of issue before always loaded grub and allowed me to select to install the OS [06:16] I installed xubuntu on a UX series VAIO today, and it appears to be working... but the wireless card is behaving strangely. Teh first time I used it, it worked perfectly... but it has failed to connect to (and usually even scan for) any networks since. [06:16] KnightStalker: What do you mean by "but he wants to save his windows"? [06:16] Jordan_U: should i have a grub file on the root usb drive? [06:16] i need some help getting my wifi to work on my laptop [06:16] joebob: and to go back to the previous? metacity --replace? [06:16] Jordan_U: i mean he wants multiboot ^_^ [06:16] is there a !command somewhere with information [06:16] !wireless [06:16] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:16] keeping both his windows and Ubuntu [06:16] Izinucs, if using metacity otherwise it's probably compiz --replace [06:17] KnightStalker: You can multiboot without wubi, in fact most dual boots are without wubi. [06:17] Jordan_U:well it doesn't see both windows he has in the installation [06:17] Jordan_U: I also tried booting via the Ubuntu disk [06:17] cmalo, sorry, i had problem with my english [06:17] Anyways,he has 3 hard drives and 2 windows on two of them [06:18] KnightStalker: Please explain exactly what is happening. Phrases like "doesn't see" are very ambiguous. [06:19] xnockout, no prob [06:20] |corpse|: It's not the files that matter as much as the master boot record (an area at the beginning of drives where bootloaders are installed). [06:20] Jordan_U: okay here is details:I tried installing via booting the disk,I gone until the format part,it said "there are no operating system in this computer" then I tried installing via wubi in his windows,it told me there are no hard drives in this computer,on other hand he doesn't want to format all of his computer and lose his windows,he wants multiboot which both Ubuntu and windows are on one computer [06:20] in fact there were 2 Win7 on the hard drive,he has 3 partitions anyway [06:21] xnockout found the issue they do not do interactive unless you press a key at the 1st boot screen [06:21] His processor is i686 anyway [06:21] KnightStalker: Is there any fakeraid or anything else odd with the computer? [06:21] Jordan_U: ok i thought mabey i needed a file right in the root to signal grub to run the installer. When i put the win7 on the drive there was the ntlrd right there === OerHeks is now known as Oer [06:21] Jordan_U: how to check? o.O [06:22] KnightStalker: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" from the liveCD? [06:23] Anyone particularly good at dyndns troubleshooting? I have an interesting problem: my router/ISP drops the lease on my current IP during periods of internet inactivity. I only get a new IP (and the router only updates dyndns with the new IP) when someone uses the internet from inside the LAN. [06:23] Gotta tell you. I love this channel. [06:23] Hi :) [06:24] How do you remove a workspace on the gnome shell? [06:24] Remember the days, like in the 90's, you'd go in to a *nix channel and the answer was always, "RTFM!" [06:24] cmalo, your mean.. you found how to solve your problem? [06:24] <---- New to ubuntu, can ya recommend any good reads for a neophyte as myself? Reading ubuntu.com the best way? [06:24] MikeHoncho: my favorite was search it [06:24] hahah. The actual answer to that is RTFM! [06:24] is it ok to install 32 bit ubuntu on a pc with amd athlon x2 5200 & 4 gb ram [06:25] Jordan_U: please wait :D [06:25] randerzander: Do you know what the time limit is? You could set a chron job to do a small download straight to /dev/null periodically [06:25] daniel: yup [06:25] daniel, I don't see why not. I'm a noob, but sounds like it would work fine. [06:25] Rodimus-x , kroms do you know if the 4gb of ram will be read or only 3 gb [06:26] a3ist: haven't figured it out yet, but it seems to occur in <= about 15 minutes [06:26] daniel: all 4 gig should be read [06:26] That I can't answer. I know windows does only up to 3.99 or so, but Linux I can't tell you. [06:26] daniel: well minus the overhead [06:26] corpse: On step 8 in the installer you will see a screen that looks a bit like this: http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/10-04/9.png You need to press the advanced button on that screen and set grub to be installed to the flash drive. [06:26] alright thanks [06:26] is there a Maximum RAM a 32bit ubuntu can read? [06:26] hello all! what's the process called that runs in the panel that will show some of your apps that are running (ie. pidgin, nicotine, deluge) [06:27] !cron | randerzander [06:27] randerzander: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [06:27] randerzander, check that out and you can write a short script to wget google.com every 10 mins or so [06:27] kroms: Not if you use the PAE kernel (but you might want to just use 64 bit instead for performance) [06:28] Jordan_U, Is there that big of a performance difference in the 32bit vs 64bit? [06:28] jordan_u do you use 64bit? [06:28] Jordan_U : I did type "sudo fdisk -l" there wasn't any output though [06:28] daniel: Yes. [06:28] Linux 2.6.32-21-generic [x86_64/2.29GHz] [06:29] kroms: Not really, though it depends on what you do with your computer. [06:29] also, I have a question.... I've seen some command that allows ubuntu to boot faster with Multi-core CPUs.. but that was from 2009. did they fix that with this 10.0.4? I have a i3, is there any tweaks for that? [06:29] I figure I have 64bit why not use it [06:29] Jordan_U: ahh, you may have been mistaken. I am putting the liveCD image on a usb drive so i can install ubuntu on another machine, but the usb drive wont boot. I get the error "Missing Operating System" [06:29] Jordan_U, gotcha. Thanks for the quick replies. :) happy I switched to ubuntu so far. [06:29] Jordan_U i currently have 64bit but i am thinking about switching to 32bit because i have problems with flash on 64 bit and some software being only 32 bit... have you had any problems with flash? [06:30] a3ist: Thanks for the suggestion [06:30] corpse: use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ to install the iso [06:30] daniel: Flash crashes all the time for me, but I hardly notice since I'm using google chrome :) [06:30] ada orang indo gak di sini? [06:30] <|corpse|> RoDiMuS-X: thats what im using [06:30] randerzander, no prob :) I like finding fun work-arounds [06:31] corpse: the Flash Drive supports boot? [06:31] Jordan_U i am using google chrome as well, but i cant seem to use a few cloud software sites which rely on flash [06:31] daniel, is it actually crashing? I've noticed that sometimes I can't even click on things that are flash. ie. play button. [06:31] RoDiMuS-X: i think so. when i format with gparted it gets flaged as boot [06:32] corpse: what file type? [06:32] corpse: NTFS or FAT [06:32] kroms i have the same problem...play button and volume button in youtube doesnt work....grooveshark doesnt work either [06:32] RoDiMuS-X: also i used unetbootin and put it on my external harddrive and i know thats bootable [06:32] RoDiMuS-X: ext4 [06:32] RoDiMuS-X: i have tryed fat ext4 and ntfs [06:32] Jordan_U: you there? :D [06:33] daniel: You can use totem (Movie Player) to browse youtube. [06:33] daniel, yeah. I haven't tried grooveshark yet, but not surprised. I've heard that flash sucked before I switched. What about running it in virtual box? hehe [06:33] KnightStalker: Yes [06:33] Jordan_U : I did type "sudo fdisk -l" there wasn't any output though [06:33] corpse: this maybe a dumb question but does your bios support booting off the USB drive [06:33] kroms well i have a dual boot... but i would like to be able to use ubuntu for web browsing since it is the safest operating system [06:34] Anyone have top favorite programs that a 'newb' should check out? [06:34] jordan_u thanks ill check that out [06:34] can anybody help me === FlyingWatermelon is now known as flyingwatermelon [06:34] ubuntu is too awesome for me, what can i do? [06:34] daniel: You're welcome. [06:34] kroms: adobeair for linux === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away [06:34] daniel, I dual boot too. What about PlayOnLinux? === flyingwatermelon is now known as watermelon === watermelon is now known as bobbarker [06:34] KnightStalker: That is really odd. Can you pastebin the output from "dmesg"? [06:34] RoDiMuS-X, I've heard about adobe air, but haven't really looked into it. How is it? Anything worth running? Does it run flash? [06:34] cyrex: install windows [06:35] cyrex: what your problem? [06:35] kroms i have never tried that [06:35] kroms: yeah I use tweetdeck, it works great [06:35] Ubuntu is too awesome for me, i need something sucky [06:35] RoDiMuS-X: yes, though it is showing it a harddisk instead of removable media. but i select it as the first hard drive to boot from and i get the missing operating system error [06:35] cyrex, try porting windows mobile 6 to your computer [06:35] cyrex: Windows XP is hiring [06:35] cyrex get windows vista if you want something sucky [06:35] thank you guys [06:36] daniel, I just heard about it the other day, allows you to run windows apps in Linux. Should that work with flash better? Or would that not work? [06:36] will try, let you know when i get viruses and all that [06:36] virtualbox is nice [06:36] RoDiMuS-X: i notice that in the usb drive all the liniux files are locked in root. should i open the permisions? or should that not matter? [06:36] virtualbox 3.2 just came out [06:36] kroms i dont know but ill check that out, thanks [06:36] corpse: That doesn't matter. [06:36] yeah had to get the new key for their repo [06:36] corpse: I dont think that matters [06:36] daniel, Like I said.. I'm a noob. someone else might have a better idea on what would work XD [06:37] and for flash players i normally install the ubuntu-restricted-extras from synaptic or the ubuntu software center [06:37] corpse: have you tried the USB drive on a different computer? [06:37] RoDiMuS-X: yes on 3 seperate computers [06:37] anyone here? [06:37] cyrex, does it come with a good flash player? Or the regular one in the synaptic? [06:37] corpse: same deal eh? [06:37] i just made an ubuntu livecd [06:37] and installed xchat [06:38] since it it restricted it will grab the adobe flash player [06:38] neither of which i have ever used in my life [06:38] i have used mIRC [06:38] although you can choose between gnash, swfdec and the adobe one [06:38] i actually use the adobe one and works perfect [06:39] it will take a while to download and install because the ubuntu-restricted installs a lot of stuff [06:39] so who can i talk to for help? [06:39] anybody watermelon..i mean bobbarker [06:39] bobbarker: Just ask your question, if anyone can help they will. [06:39] cyrex, is there a list of what's all installed with the restricted package? [06:39] Corpse: are you building your boot or just using the Ubuntu iso [06:39] Need help after upgrade: what's the process called that runs in the panel that will show some of your apps that are running (ie. pidgin, nicotine, deluge) it's now gone and I miss it! [06:40] yeah of course when you select the package in synaptic it tells you what it contains [06:40] cyrex, thanks. [06:40] you can also type aptitude show ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:40] in console [06:40] churl: Right click pannel > Add to pannel > Notification Area [06:40] and it will show what it contains [06:40] ahhh [06:40] hi. how do you find out what options the current linux kernel was compiled with? [06:40] cyrex how did you know i was watermelon? [06:41] Jordan_U: thanks [06:41] basically it has stuff to view movies, flash, some java stuff, decompress/compress, bla bla bla [06:41] churl: You're welcome. [06:41] because i am the mighty super flying pineapple [06:41] bow to my many pineapple eyes [06:41] i see everything [06:42] Does Ubuntu 10.04 use BOTH xsplash and plymouth, or only plymouth for a boot splash? [06:42] Andys^: less /boot/config-$(uname -r) [06:42] cyrex, how about me, what you see? [06:43] @Squideshi - as i understand it uses plymouth [06:43] i see a man that will someday be a super potato [06:43] sorry my system crashed [06:43] with super potato powers [06:43] Thank you all for the help. Have a great night. [06:44] Jordan_U: this is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/ve72UV6v [06:45] anyone know what the status is with Wireless N and Ubuntu? My notebook has an Intel 4965AGN in it which does support N. Likely to work with N? [06:45] thanks [06:45] agle [06:46] is flash better on 32 bit than 64 bit [06:46] corpse: Did that boot video help any? (earlier today) [06:46] greezmunkey: nope =\ [06:47] no, 64 bit is better. It does not run at all on 64 bit, so that is buch better. === computer_ is now known as ryaxnb [06:47] daniel, that was for you. [06:47] neat, i got the dell mini 9 sleep to work. [06:47] greezmunkey: for some reason the disk that i save the iso files to wont be bootable [06:47] corpse: are you writing it at the slowest possible speed, and DAO ? [06:47] CaneToad: my laptop works with wireless N.. not sure which chipset it uses though [06:48] severian, i need it for some sites i use... [06:48] anyone know how to join another server on xchat? [06:48] ryaxnb, I guess that is good. [06:48] got one question, how can i make an official channel for my country [06:48] greezmunkey: I am trying to run for a USB. for some reason this system that im settig up wont boot from any disk [06:48] am from Venezuela but ubuntu-ve sucks [06:48] greezmunkey: err cd rom [06:48] Hi .. does anyone know why when you remote desktop to ubuntu, when you click on things, all the action shows on the ubuntu server but not on the client? [06:49] nobody helps there and i have a team of 5 people that want to help with the ubuntu philosophy [06:49] bobbarker: Heh - -/server {servername.serverdomain} [06:49] hi I just installed a new usb wifi card but ubuntu isn't even showing the green comet looking network choice in the tray [06:49] daniel, maybe, and maybe not. I never install flash. It is so bad on security and the license is unreasonable. gnash does fine for many flash sites. [06:49] KnightStalker: Try pressing any key when booting the livCD to get to the isolinux menu, then press F6 and select the "nodmraid" option. Do *not* do anything with the drives though, I don't know what happens with undetected fakeraid (I have no reason to think anything bad, but since I'm not sure it's best to be safe). [06:49] hi, anyone know how I refuse ubuntu access to the pc-speaker? [06:49] severian, i have never heard of gnash, is this a flash alternative? [06:50] lokpest: In 10.04 it should be blacklisted by default. [06:50] I think it has something to do with ndiswrapper but I'm not sure [06:50] lokpest: you can blacklist the kernel module [06:50] pdtpatrick, some things like playing video don't get to the client, if the video card on the server is a little old. Some things are just a little slow. [06:50] lokpest: but I think that's done by default these days.. as Jordan_U said [06:50] lokpest: wire cutters [06:50] I mean, to have the BIOS use the pc-speaker I understand. but the OS? ok, sounds good that it has been done [06:50] Jordan_U: what is the module called? [06:51] @Severian .. its using the latest ATI driver... but im not playing video. Right now im remote into the server but when i click on terminal, i can see it on the server move but not on the client [06:51] morning all [06:51] greezmunkey: pcspkr [06:51] daniel, gnash is the open source reimplementation of flash. It is pretty good at playing videos and the scripting language is close. There are a couple of similar projects. gnash works best for me. [06:51] Jordan_U: that makes sense... [06:51] Jordan_U: I did activate nodmraid now what to do? :D [06:51] Slart: k, sounds like something that will eat a n00b like me and his system [06:51] @Severian for instance, while on the mac, if i move the terminal around, it doesn't show that on the mac, but it shows that being moved around on the ubuntu box itself [06:52] KnightStalker: See if "sudo fdisk -l" still produces no output. [06:52] severian, will it install by doing sudo apt-get install gnash [06:52] lokpest: nah.. it's just one line in one file.. hang on.. let me check the syntax [06:52] I've tried using this pocket guide but still can't connect to the internet [06:52] pdtpatrick, THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT COMPIZ CAN INTERFERE WITH VNC. tRY TURNING IT OFF FOR THAT SERVER. [06:52] @Severian .. looks like its a bug ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/493889 [06:52] daniel, yes. [06:53] @Severian.. ur right though in regards to compiz being enabled :( [06:53] pdtpatrick, sorry about the upper case. [06:53] lokpest: type this into a terminal, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [06:53] gnash is stil a plugin, html5 + free codec is the "right way" to solve it [06:53] Severian: oh, right, does gnash work on youtube? [06:54] i think gnash will be irrelevant within a year [06:54] severian was i supposed to remove flash before (i installed gnash but havent removed flash) [06:54] lokpest: then just add a line at the end, blacklist pcspkr [06:54] considering the news for yesterday [06:54] will setting up a file server with ubuntu desktop be just as good as useing ubuntu server? [06:54] Slart: ty! [06:54] lokpest: reboot and it should be done.. [06:54] google just dropped at the i/o a new open source that they hope will replace flash [06:54] pallgone, yes, but it needs a little help. You need a greasemonkey script to fool youtube. I have demonstrated it at local computer groups. [06:54] vp8? [06:55] @Severian -- oh that sucks.. u have to set Visual Effects = None for it to work .. haha [06:55] Severian: ok, i need gnash, greasemonkey, a script and I bet it doesn't work on hulu and others [06:55] daniel, I don't know. I never install flash, because I won't accept their license. So, I never had both installed. [06:55] WebM [06:55] isn't webm just rebranded matroska? [06:56] pallgone, I have not tried this hulu thing. It is just tv shows and I don't watch or own a tv. [06:56] RoDiMuS-X: http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=377 [06:56] is this for ubuntu questions/support or is there another channel? [06:56] after reading that i'm a bit disillusioned to vp8/webm [06:56] Why would my connection be so dead that nothing loads (web pages, IM through Pidgin, BitTorrent, Gwibber, etc) /except/ for XChat, which is managing IRC perfectly? [06:56] fiyawerx_, No. but, it is related and derived from matroska [06:56] Slart: I havent been around there before, so I guess that I get an empty file is alright? [06:56] lokpest: what news? [06:57] google releasing VP8 under BSD [06:57] Jordan_U: still no output :S [06:57] severian thank you very much [06:57] pdtpatrick, setting effects to none is basically turning compiz off. I don't see much use for it on a server, so it does not bug me. I do like it on my desktop. [06:58] lokpest: oh, right... they've done it... adobe is screwed :) [06:58] nah [06:58] flash is screwed, but not adobe [06:58] @Severian .. yup i had it on before because i was using this as a desktop but now turned it into a server and completely forgot it was on :( .. thanks again [06:58] lokpest: you might like that read, too, interesting teardown of vp8 from an x264 dev [06:59] flyawerx_: I agree WebM is a stupid name [06:59] wow at least windows doesn't lose your entire ability to connect to the web when you don't use it for a month [06:59] adobe has been around long before flash was even thought of, and as I undestand it they are in heavy transition in making there tools create HTML5-code instead of flash [07:00] anub, no it is too important for Microsoft to be able to spy on you. [07:00] hah, windows is the opposite, the more you use it, the more you're likely to be "disconnected" [07:00] lol Severian [07:00] Why would my connection be so dead that nothing loads (web pages, IM through Pidgin, BitTorrent, Gwibber, etc) /except/ for XChat, which is managing IRC perfectly? [07:01] Severian: yeah they're seeing this, sounds like a real hoot [07:01] anub: wow at least X does this better than Y [07:01] lokpest, I hope adobe does this right, but their history suggest otherwise. The ray of hope is that they have been open more when threatened. That is one reason why pdf ended up as a decent iso standard. [07:01] KnightStalker: I have no idea then, never seen / heard of this type of problem before. [07:01] pallgone: wow is that algebra? [07:02] its not like adobe created flash anyway, didn't they just get it a few years ago? [07:03] fiyawerx_, they acquired it with Macromedia a few years ago. [07:03] * fiyawerx_ nods [07:04] anub: with X my Y at least Z [07:04] um yeah [07:04] fiyawerx_: I dont get this argument that h.264 might be slightly better in som enviroments. I mean I want a free and good enough codec, not some monster-quality codec specialized for watching ultra-zoomed in porno on the absolute biggest screen you could find on the market :P [07:05] (I woldnt object to freeing such a codec, but I can live without...) [07:05] how do I use ifconfig to diagnose this connection problem? [07:06] i dont even think it's mainly about the comparison of quality, there's a lot of other issues there [07:07] anub, it depends upon the problem. if config will show you if you are getting an ip address. It will show you how much traffic is flowing. [07:08] hallo [07:08] darf ich hier eine Frage stellen?

[07:09] severian: ubuntu is not even seeing anything it says I'm disconnected and is not giving me my wifi router === FlyingWatermelon is now known as Flyingwater [07:10] is there a channel for CSS rcon problem? === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:10] how do i auto register on login in xchat? [07:10] I would like to know whether it is possible to disable the mousepad on Asus A8J series laptop. I have a usb-mouse connected and dont need mousepad. Mousepad on this laptop is situated in such a way that (often) when writing the cursor is affected, often in detrimental ways.

[07:11] pat5star: hi, just got through compiling, ran cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt in terminal and it came back with no such file or directory...? [07:11] livingdaylight, I don't speak german, so I couldn't be positive which one was the right one for you [07:11] livingdaylight: can't you do that in the bios? [07:11] greezmunkey, bios is it? [07:11] Flyingwater, depends on wether you're using gnome-schat or just xchat ? [07:11] gnome-xchat* [07:12] livingdaylight: It works that way on mine, yours may be differant - worth a look at least [07:12] jud: make sure you are in the directory where your sort1.txt file is [07:12] severian: yes that is very logical [07:12] greezmunkey, I don't know, which is why I'm asking. I can check next time, however, it would be nice to be able to switch the mousepad on and off easier (read conveniently) than that [07:12] jud: so if it's on your desktop, cd ~/Desktop [07:12] i have a tricky question: how do i use vwdial with my 3g phone without recieving data [07:13] or any other prog [07:13] pat5star: `ok, sorry, i'll try [07:13] jud: ok, let me know how you make out [07:13] jud: Just out of curiousity, how many emails are you dealing with? [07:14] Can i make maybe a python script and connnect with 3g wothout data [07:14] Flyingwater, xchat menu > network list > edit the server connection you're using. [07:14] greezmunkey, I've never seen that option in Bios before. I mean without looking, it was not something that jumped out at me. But thanks for the tip. I'll lookout specifically for it next time [07:14] well I can finally delete my ubuntu partition, thanks, ya'll [07:14] livingdaylight, you can try to remove the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [07:14] livingdaylight: you can probably download a user manula for that hardware...maybe? [07:15] Flyingwater, then put the password you use to register your nick here in the nickserv field [07:15] pat5star: i've collected around a thousand from different lists [07:15] jud: ok [07:15] greezmunkey, another good idea :) [07:15] dancek, wouldn't that be permanent? [07:15] jud: I'm not helping a spammer am I?! [07:15] livingdaylight, yes. I thought you didn't need the touchpad. [07:16] livingdaylight, also you can reinstall it whenever you want if you change your mind. [07:16] jud: brb [07:16] pat5star: no, no, it's an arts newsletter...non profit. [07:16] jud: that's cool. let me know how you make out ok [07:17] dancek, not always, no. But would like to be able to 'enable' it , i.e. switch it 'on' (or 'off) if and when and as requirements dictate [07:17] pat5star: thanks [07:17] livingdaylight, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad suggests removing it, too. [07:17] livingdaylight, you should read the wiki page, it describes other possibilities too. [07:17] dancek, thanks for the headsup [07:18] you're welcome :) [07:20] anyone here wanna help a ubuntu noob? [07:20] ask the question [07:20] Flyingwater, you've come to the right place [07:20] pat5star: would i need to add characters to this? cd artfactory/documents/troy/iima cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt [07:20] how can i see i list of whose in the xchat room...sorry not a ubuntu question but im new to xchat as well [07:20] i used mIRC [07:21] anyone? [07:21] jud: yes, after lima add a semi-colon so it's cd artfactory/documents/troy/lima; [07:22] pat5star: ` ok [07:23] where can I find sexy backgrounds for my ubuntu [07:23] hello everyone. I've just upgraded to 10.04 from 9.10 and lost X... i've tried ssh-ing in, and running nvidia-xconfig, but no dice [07:23] just look in the list Flyingwater [07:23] women only though [07:23] pat5star: hmm i still get No such file or directory [07:23] [07:24] Spunkym3nkey google it....... [07:24] Spunkym3nkey, have you tried desktopnexus ? [07:24] nah, does it have allot of changing to boot and all? [07:24] for design [07:25] jud: ok, if you're sort1.txt file is in artfactory/documents/troy/lima you have to cd (change directory) there. do this: cd artfactory/documents/troy/lima [07:25] jud: afterwards, type ls sort1.txt and tell me what is says [07:25] wow [07:25] 1515 users.. I rem when I tested hedgehog. and how big the channel was then.. [07:25] hello all, I want to know where is documentation to config /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and /etc/apache2/sites-available [07:26] Hey everyone [07:26] hmm I can't complain about Ubuntu being so OSX-alike anymore esp about Gnome-do while being KDE-fanboy since Katapult went there first! [07:26] hi in here, I'm trying to run nimbuzz under wine, but it keeps restarting. now i've read somewhere that i should run nimbuzz as an administrator (windoze that is, don't wanna run sudo wine....). How can I do that? [07:27] I've just plugged my printer a canon i350 which gets detected, however, I wish to umount it but lsusb doesn't show any info on it yet it does show for my logitech wireless receiver, how do I go about identifying the printer? [07:27] jav_: put your potential virtualhosts in -available, apache reads everything in -enabled (and loads it). You use `a2ensite filename` (where filename is the filename in -available) to enable a site, and a2dissite to disable. All those commands do is symlink from -available to -enabled [07:27] pat5star: it reads Is: command not found [07:27] I kind of miss ubuntu [07:27] jud: are you using a small L? [07:27] but also debian as well.. been working still with mandriva since drake , and opensuse.. fedora its once and a while.. hows the performance in ubuntu and security.. [07:27] jud: LS but small case [07:28] I just ordered a sonicwall yesterday :P === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [07:28] jav_: some docs at /usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/README.Debian.gz [07:29] pat5star: `I get ls: cannot access sort1.txt: No such file or directory [07:29] well, wanted to drop in to say hello.. [07:29] pat5star: that's with little l [07:29] @pat5star: Is it available online? [07:29] L [07:30] jud: well, sounds like your sort1.txt file isn't there...try: find . -type f -name sort1.txt -print [07:30] jud: oops, actually try: find ~ -type f -name sort1.txt -print [07:30] somedependency removed my pulse audio [07:30] jav_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocalhostSubdomain and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [07:30] jud: notice I changed the . to a ~ [07:30] hi clint- [07:31] thanks all [07:31] jav_: I'm sure it is, I thought you were looking for docs on your hard drive [07:31] clint-: what di you order it to do? Work? [07:31] no [07:31] home.. [07:31] :) [07:32] pat5star: ok ... /home/artfactory/Documents/troy/iima/sort1.txt [07:32] I got a steal on techforless for it [07:32] any clue to restore it back [07:32] jud: ok, cd to that directory [07:32] waited patiently for it to drop and keep dropping in price.. [07:32] I would setup a smoothwall box.. but I'm way too busy right now.. [07:32] clint-: sonicwalls do that for a reason... [07:32] jud: then run cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt [07:32] include/sort1.txt? [07:32] I know this [07:32] "failed to mount the cd-rom" when installing wifi driver, how do you do this? [07:32] I can block IP's , IP ranges, subnets, at the internet /gateway/firewall level.. [07:33] along as I do with iptables.. but there going to drop at the internet/gateway level.. [07:33] it all started when my 2wire got hijacked last year [07:33] clint-: is smoothwall a firewall? [07:33] yes.. [07:33] its a firewall distro [07:33] I been away from ubuntu since 6.06 LTS [07:33] clint-: ok I thought so. I used ipcop a whle back, really liked it, and I think it's from smoothwall [07:33] I started testing ubuntu with hedgehog in 2006 [07:33] 2005* [07:34] pat5star: ran ... cd/home/artfactory/Documents/troy/iima/sort1.txt [07:34] bash: cd/home/artfactory/Documents/troy/iima/sort1.txt: No such file or directory [07:34] along as I was working with debian since sarge - 2008, with diff builds as well, testing, etc [07:34] can anyone help me with a 10.04 upgrade that broke X? [07:34] jud: need a space between cd and the first / [07:35] mainly though< I been on mandriva since drake 10.0, and fedora have dabbled with it from core back in 2005 when it was released, to f12, and opensuse.. 11.2, I tested many vers of suse as well, but opensuse 11.2 is finally getting somewhere now.. its just some configuration with things.. [07:35] ubuntu I know.. slams it on the nail.. [07:35] way to go people.. [07:35] has the directory /proc/bus/usb been changed? [07:35] mechcozmo: did you keep a copy of your original xorg.conf? [07:35] hey [07:35] been reading articles. mags, linux mags, etc.. at Barnes and Nobles.. and ubuntu hits everything lol [07:36] there is a problem [07:36] can someone help me partition my drives [07:36] pat5star: sorry, still got bash: cd: /home/artfactory/Documents/troy/iima/sort1.txt: Not a directory [07:36] I just don't do the sudo etc.. [07:36] so i can dual boot ubuntu and windows [07:36] pat5star: no, i did not, but nvidia-xconfig generated one that is almost identical [07:36] you can actually run many systems Flyingwater [07:36] ater hibernating the machine [07:36] after* [07:36] I had like 6 running at 1 time with Acronis Disk Director Suite, but its commercial [07:36] power-manager doesnt work [07:36] but if you want as well, in workstations.. you can run them on sep drives.. [07:36] jud: copy and paste this: cd ~/Documents/troy/lima [07:36] jud: cd /home/artfactory/Documents/troy/iima - then you can play with your file. [07:37] pat5star: i'm not actually sure if it's nvidia that broke or something else that causes it to stay at the shell login prompt [07:37] mechcozmo: I actually removed mine then restarted X and it worked [07:37] ubuntu setup should resize you Flyingwater [07:37] or let you choose those options.. [07:37] mechcozmo: but I don't have nvidia so I don't knonw [07:38] pat5star: what logs should i check to make sure it's nvidia holding up X and not something else? [07:38] jud: if no errors, then try ls sort1.txt [07:38] However, its best to really if windows is your main OS, to create the partition with free space, from windows.. or use like gparted, etc.. ubcd, etc. and others [07:38] yeah [07:38] or other disk partitioning software like paragon etc [07:38] i mean 2 each there own [07:38] mechcozmo: I think something shows up in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog [07:38] heck, really if your swift enough, you can create partitions on a network.. [07:38] ;) [07:39] mechcozmo: maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:39] hello pat5star [07:39] I see ubuntu has grown bigtime.. :P [07:39] mechcozmo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:40] maybe it will make all distros obsolete :P [07:40] pat5star: nothing suspicious in messages or syslog, checking Xorg's logs now [07:40] j/k [07:40] jud: how did you make out with cd ~/Documents/troy/lima ? [07:40] good ole LFS ;) [07:40] has the directory /proc/bus/usb been changed for karmic or is it made obsolete? [07:40] pat5star & greezmunkey: Fatal server error: [07:40] no screens found [07:41] pat5star: `ok, did that, no errors so ran cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt and .....hey presto [07:41] its good to get into knowing how to write and configure an xorg configuration mechcozmo [07:41] and working with people in #xorg can help you do that too.. and well studying [07:41] mechcozmo: I had problems after my upgrade but solved it by just removing /etc/X/xorg.conf, I've seen others with problems too especially nvidia, not sure how they resolve it [07:41] jud: cool, one last thing you can do if you're interested... [07:41] I highly recommend.. learning how to troubleshoot xorg, and learning how to drop into runlevel 3's and not be afraid.. [07:42] but.. you can always use test machines for that too [07:42] or vm's [07:42] how do you get the top panel to show up [07:42] pat5star: `what's that? [07:42] Hi. I've got an ubuntu server where it simply refuses to pass IP traffic. The interface is up, the port on the switch is up, the lights flash as if traffic is trying to pass.. but nothing passes. There are no arp entries etc. Has anyone heard of ubuntu 6.06 LTS doing this? [07:42] hey quick question, whats the best practice in terms of installing new software. For example I am installing cassandra, should I install to /opt directory or something else? [07:42] anub: , which 1 [07:42] mechcozmo: You can redo your x config with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:42] clint-: i'm far more comfortable on the CLI than in XFCE [07:42] hehe [07:42] jud: cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | wc -l; wc -l uniq-emails.txt [07:43] I can work in any runlevels heh [07:43] don't matter [07:43] mechcozmo: you can only do that if the x server is stopped [07:43] clint: the one on the desktop [07:43] greezmunkey: it doesn't run anyway, should be easy :-p [07:43] I been thinking of leaving gnome hehe [07:43] jud: the first number will show you how many emails you had to start, the 2nd will show you how many you now have after ridding the dupes [07:43] I use xfce, fluxbox as well [07:43] mechcozmo: yup [07:43] but I thought about testing openbox [07:43] as well* [07:43] I actually started on KDE as well [07:43] greezmunkey: mkay, it ran with no errors... now just reboot and pray? [07:43] so i swear i saw that someone recommended an alternative flash package than the adobe one. Is that correct? [07:43] nicT: use apt-get ... 'sudo apt-get install cassandra' it will install automatically, no need for sources [07:43] getting into terminals, and runlevel 3 came later on [07:43] mech [07:44] mech no, sudo service gdm start [07:44] MACscr_lappy, It may be true. Are you prone to swearing like that? [07:44] greezmunkey: gdm start/running, process 2407 [07:44] its something really to get into, and get yourself comfortable with, and knowing your way around the linux fs ds* because you can look at logs.. troubleshoot, etc [07:44] mech alt+ctrl+F7 [07:45] when 1 of my instructors at college told me back in 2005.. learn the command line, its a must, he wasn't kidding [07:45] greezmunkey: doin' this remotely [07:45] but also.. LFS.. can push you too [07:45] I'm running lxde/open box on top of arch linux on my laptop here, with my desktop running ubuntu. Then I don't have to worry about flashy stuff hogging resources and can still use the ubuntu box remotely to run cpu heavy commands [07:45] mech [07:45] I been really thinking on desiging my own linux system [07:45] designing* [07:45] mechcozmo: check the log again [07:45] pat5star: hmm, i get 1413 wc: uniq-emails.txt: No such file or directory [07:45] hi i accidentally installed grub into a partition instead of the MBR, i think i already installed to the MBR by entering the following command "sudo grub-setup /dev/sda",, now, how can i remove the install i made to the partition? [07:45] mechcozmo: , thats good.. [07:45] MACscr_lappy, If you have a question about the flash alternative, I can answer that. I suggested it and use it on those rare occaisions I want flash. [07:45] clint-, check out arch linux; its a slimmed down core to start with [07:45] yeah I heard good stuff about arch too [07:46] primarly I'm a mdv/opensuse user.. and engineer with it.. [07:46] When I run dkms I am told am given a warning: (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) [07:46] ever synce I have switched to lucid, I have managed to get skype into a funny state where I can't evem 'sudo killall skype' .. processes keep running.. is there a bigger hammer ? [07:46] Severian: what is the alternative? gnash? [07:46] deploy linux systems for all around my City, and around it, and travel too [07:46] pat5star: i'd changed the name of the one there so it wouldn't overwrite it. was that a mistake? [07:46] now a Hospital, is wanting a good IT, they can rely on.. [07:46] the installed module is the newer version [07:46] clint-, The diversity in distros is a strength of Linux. Good luck. I tinker with that a bit, too. [07:46] which alot of hospitals run Novell you see, or SLED [07:46] but you see, SLED is based off opensuse [07:46] hehe [07:46] !ot > clint- [07:46] clint-, please see my private message [07:46] greezmunkey: still no X on startup [07:47] and really.. opensuse, is just suse.. [07:47] MACscr_lappy, gnash is the one I use. It is the most prominent alternative flash. [07:47] its just called that because of the GPL, and etc [07:47] hipitihop, you have htop? [07:47] jud: oh ok...you had me wondering there...ya if you wanted to know how many emails you now have, just run that command again but change uniq-emails.txt to your new name. It won't overwrite, it's just counting [07:47] sup greezmunkey ? [07:47] mechcozmo: still getting the screen error? [07:47] k ubottu [07:47] oh yeah np [07:47] clint-, SLED is not based off opensuse, but they have the same roots. [07:47] linuxlurker, yep [07:47] greezmunkey: "(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)" [07:47] my bad, I got a little carrie daway [07:47] I"m kind of stoked about this sonicwall :) [07:48] I got it for 90% off :P [07:48] hipitihop, there are a number of kill options in htop.. [07:48] how do you connect to the internet in ubuntu? [07:48] Severian: [07:48] it is [07:48] how can i make my center monitor my main one? [07:48] aka, login, panels, etc, appear there [07:48] sled 10 is based off 11.1 [07:48] greezmunkey: I get this a lot in the kernel log: May 20 23:46:19 frankenbox kernel: [ 13.803740] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. [07:48] :-) [07:48] hello [07:49] clint-, I use ipcop, which is even better and costs even less. But, my needs may be different from yours. Good luck. [07:49] hello Seveas [07:49] Severian: argh [07:49] hipitihop, other than that you can ps -e to find the pid no. and then kill 9 pid [07:49] Is there a problem if the installed module version doesn't match the built module? [07:49] mechcozmo: run sudo lshw | grep VGA - see what adapter you really have. [07:49] yeah.. I have setup a smoothwall box.. but energy right now.. and also I looked at pfsense [07:49] but they messaged me to keep it ontopic :P [07:49] When viewing dkms status? [07:49] linuxlurker, is thal 'kill 9 ...' or 'kill -9 ...' ? [07:49] Severian: I used ipcop a couple of years ago...it was really awesome. If I ever need a setup like that again I wouldn't hesitate to go back to ipcop :) [07:49] Severian: , thats cool.. :) [07:49] at least were the paranoid type eh [07:49] hipitihop, kill 9 [07:49] greezmunkey: description: VGA compatible controller [07:50] I am anyways. ;) [07:50] hipitihop, read man kill for confirmation [07:50] greezmunkey: it is a 5200FX, IIRC [07:50] mechcozmo: is that ati, or intel ? [07:50] I'm going to start doing some test, with system mounting in read only mode sometimes.. [07:50] systems* [07:50] greezmunkey: my bad, it's a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x [07:50] hipitihop, oh..it is kill -9 pid [07:50] it is nvidia [07:50] and also.. starting it up, with the image mounting to ram.. sometimes. and setting up the ramdisk to periodically save changes to a partition.. [07:50] hipitihop, hehe..the dash is necessary [07:51] all kinds of things I" working on.. kind of been driving myself nuts sometimes.. :) [07:51] clint-, That is how my ipcop box works. [07:51] as read only.. I can see that [07:51] ok I figured out that the problem is that ubuntu is only seeing the old wifi card, but my driver cd ony has an exe - how do I install it [07:51] I'm such an old cliche, I'm drinking jolt, having a poptart and writing a crappy script ;) [07:51] pat5star: hmm, so from 1413 down to 1410....that's more than i thought i would of had. now i just have to figure out a way to send them that doesn't take 2 days as it does from my google account since you can only do 500 at a time [07:51] well you know, its how you set the permissions :) [07:51] clint-, otherwise the flash memory it runs off would not last long. [07:51] hehe [07:52] Severian: good to see you [07:52] pat5star: ` then wait 12 hours [07:52] I went by Zoo if you are wondering [07:52] jud: lol...after all your work it only removed 3 dupes?! [07:52] hipitihop, I think the killall would send a sigterm signal...whereas you might need a less graceful sigkill signal to stamp it out [07:52] clint-, Have we met? [07:52] I rem, you had help me trouble shoot a lot of things [07:52] yes. [07:52] linuxlurker, seems so... the kill -9 seems to have done the trick .. many thanks [07:52] clint-, OK, glad I could help. I try. === xyz is now known as hellyeah [07:52] jud: or was that a typo? [07:52] back when I was running ubuntu from hedgehog to 6.06 LTS [07:52] hipitihop, np [07:53] then I totally pushed myself.. [07:53] but I started on drake 10.0 Severian .. [07:53] pat5star: `yeah ..well, i learnt something, cheers [07:53] mechcozmo: sudo service gdm stop, then edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in section "Module" change nvidia to nv. Save, then restart X - see what happens [07:53] also manage a lot of others systems.. if you know what I'm saying. I know you know [07:53] pat5star: I'm drinking Pepsi, I had a gourmet, homecooked meal, and I am providing free support to 1500 people, ... Linux is anything but cliche === Help is now known as Guest23123 [07:53] hipitihop, htop has kill options as well..both sigterm and sigkill [07:53] not on a corporate level though [07:53] clint-, That was a while back. Mandriva is nice too. Is that what you mean by drake? [07:53] jud: yep, that's the main thing. can't help you with gmail, I don't send a lot of emails so I don't know what to suggest other than a second account ;) [07:53] I was thinking about getting back into the ubuntu project [07:53] Can anyone help me with dkms please? [07:53] GeekSquid: lol [07:53] it lacks security big time Severian [07:53] big time.. [07:54] I do so many changes to MSEC< and adding tomoyo linux and fail2ban, and more and more [07:54] how do you get into windows to pull out a driver? [07:54] When I run dkms I am told am given a warning: (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) the installed module is the newer version [07:54] Which lacks security? Ubuntu? [07:54] but issue was, I got this 2wire, that got hijacked last year [07:54] and whats funny is, the mac address, I have related it to a source mac address, and you would not believe in a million guesses who the source is. and what server its coming from [07:55] there almost identical, accept for the last 2 digits [07:55] GeekSquid: the only thing wrong with that list is the word...free :/ [07:55] I swear my life to you on this Severian [07:55] anyone knows how to get usb to be recognised in vbox as the tutorial in the ubuntu help page has not worked for me and /proc/bus/usb doesn't exist in my karmic system [07:55] clint-, there are a few things that can help the security of Ubuntu. I would say it is a midling secure Linux distro now. [07:55] I'm building a case, with US-CERT, sans, DHS< etc, [07:55] and even spoke to IP joint task force security in the UK [07:55] Hi do I make sure that my Firewall is functional? [07:55] but they weren't too happy about it [07:55] greezmunkey: getting a black screen right now... [07:56] in which they manage DoD networks. etc [07:56] clint-, mac addresses can be spoofed. It may not be who you think it is. [07:56] greezmunkey: would it be as much fun if I was getting paid to do it? [07:56] yep [07:56] that I know too Severian [07:56] what I think is cool about what sonicwall said to me was. and I had told them, i want a good experience.. is the sonicwall I ordered and well others I guess, are alpha numeric [07:56] the fact remains that today, as always, the vast vast majority of compromised systems are due to users and not software [07:56] good policies and habits go much further towards security than anything else [07:56] and well Severian , I'm trying to motivate myself to get into studying proxy firewalls* [07:57] greezmunkey: nothing in Xorg.0.log that seems problematic [07:57] Omar87, turn it off. Then nothing will get through and it will be 100 percent effective. [07:57] is it still safe to pin debian packages behind Ubuntu? [07:57] pat5star: just for future reference, if i add new emails to that text file i just created but then want to eliminate dupes again, each one is now on a seperate line. so i'd just ' ' instead of ',' yeah/ [07:57] exactly Severian [07:57] I can spoof mac addresses as well.. hehe [07:57] does anyone have experience with making a bootable usb live disk? [07:57] itpraf and wireshark, wow, what simple tools to use.. along with others.. to obtain mac addresses from modems.. [07:57] good point on that Severian , I think this source Mac, probably is a spoof [07:57] man.. good 1 [07:57] ty [07:57] greezmunkey: gdm-session-worker[1518]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed [07:58] jud: if each email is already on a new line, you can drop the whole tr part altogether [07:58] I didn't even think for 1 sec .. but gee.. I know they can be spoofed.. [07:58] greezmunkey: that's in syslog, only thing i can see failing [07:58] Severian, sorry. Can you please explain that? [07:58] mechcozmo: ok, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "EE" - then "WW" [07:58] so much goes through my mind, I wasn't even thinking about that.. [07:58] the thing is though Severian , its a google IP [07:58] google server, youtube* [07:58] funny eh? [07:59] greezmunkey: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [07:59] Is anyone in here slated to help? [07:59] greezmunkey: (WW) NV(0): Option "NvAGP" is not used [07:59] i need some help [07:59] No admins?!? [07:59] jud: so it would be cat sort1.txt | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt instead of cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt [07:59] greezmunkey: (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist. [07:59] AphisOne: we are all volunteers, and admins, so please ask your question [07:59] this here Severian , 74.125.12.214 , the mac on it is.. 00:18:3f:9f:9f:29 [07:59] mechcozmo: you may have to start by backing that last change out. [07:59] I cant connect to many websites from any of my browsers [07:59] !ask | AphisOne [07:59] AphisOne: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:59] Omar87, you asked a fairly generic question. What does effective mean to you? I answered about one way of interpreting your question. If the firewall is supposed to keep bad guys out and you turn it off, then nobody gets into your network and so the firewall is 100 percent effective. [08:00] greezmunkey: from "nv" to "nvidia"? [08:00] mechcozmo: but at least now you know how to peruse the log... [08:00] meechyes [08:00] robtex it.. utrace it, arin it.. isc.sans.org it [08:00] mechcozmo: yes [08:00] pat5star: ok, cheers...ultimately i'd like to be able to send to everyone at once from the same address because they send submissions in to go into the e newsletter which i then compile and send out as a pdf. any ideas? [08:00] GeekSquid, I ask this because I have asked a question several times in the last five min and no one has even made note of it [08:00] I know how i want to go with this.. I have people and connections into media deals, that can get this on the Air [08:00] jud: just thought of something for you.... [08:01] grr got disconnected :( as I was saying is it still safe to pin Debian packages behind ubuntu? [08:01] I'm just working on trying to get my grammar speech better, and trimming things down, so I can get a powerful message out there to people [08:01] Severian, yeah, but how is it supposed to keep the bad guys out if I turn it off? [08:01] clint-, I don't have a good lookup for mac addresses. I just randomly make one up when I need it. The chances of a collision are so small. [08:01] 大家好 [08:01] put it this way Seveas [08:01] Severian: * [08:01] if you installed iptraf, or wireshark [08:01] greezmunkey: so, i'm back to the beginning [08:01] okay.. you could.. ping that IP [08:01] and then you will see the Mac [08:01] :) [08:02] just like if you ping'd any other IP [08:02] Omar87, How would a bad guy get into your network if the firewall is turned off? Wouldn't they be blocked? [08:02] pat5star: what's that? [08:02] Omar87, is this a software firewall? [08:02] you will see the mac source , if your running tools that have low level auditing , probing mechanisms :) [08:02] greezmunkey: is there a way to remove all the nvidia driver stuff from the computer? [08:02] Omar87, It may seem like a trick answer, but I am trying to point out that you need to ask more than is it effective. [08:02] linuxlurker, I see are you saying one of those is equivalent to -9 ? [08:03] I need to study programming language is what I need to do Severian [08:03] AphisOne, I'm using the Firewall configuration program. [08:03] greezmunkey: just, purge it all, and then reinstall it? [08:03] Hi am using ubuntu 10.04 and every thing was good until I pressed the button that disables the touchpad on my keyboard and now it is not working even the config page for it in System__>Pref-->Mouse is gone!!! can anyone help me? [08:03] jud: no I just checked something...it wouldn't work. I thought I had an idea for sending all those emails out in 1 shot but you're right, gmail does limit it and there's no getting around it, that I know of [08:03] but also I'm thinking. heck maybe the security in ubuntu is better than mdv.. heh [08:03] Severian, I used the word functional. [08:03] suse's I love [08:03] period [08:03] Severian, Omar87 is referring to the ubuntu firewall config [08:03] hipitihop, yeah -9 is the sigkill [08:03] mechcozmo: not really, I mean you do have a nvidia card - you probably just need the *right* driver. [08:03] jud: sorry, I'm sure someone else will have a solution. There has to be mailing lists or something you can hook up with to do this [08:03] Severian, in other words: "How do I make sure it's working?" [08:03] fedora and SElinux.. heh, bugs bugs bugs. and more bugs with its flawed MAC :P [08:04] linuxlurker, ok .. always something to learn :-) thanks for for the tips [08:04] hipitihop, sigterm allows the app to exit gracefully...sigkill just kills it with potential for dataloss etc.. [08:04] When I run dkms I am told am given a warning: (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) the installed module is the newer version [08:04] mechcozmo: what was the chip/model again? [08:04] funny thing, my archos 605 wifi 160GB runs tomoyo linux [08:04] Omar87, in this case, it is the same thing. Shut it off and nothing is routed to your computer. [08:04] and its an ARM device [08:04] right after the keyboard and the guy in the circle i get and error that says "initramfs stdin: I/O error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/capser/filesystem.squashfs) [08:04] can anyone help me with why the boot splash is not working right for me? [08:04] greezmunkey: thoughts on this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192854&page=2 [08:04] anyone to help me with touchpad? [08:04] how do I make the built version the same as the installed version? [08:04] too bad I don't know enough to reverse engineer it and get any linux system running on it .. or LFS :) [08:04] who knows, maybe in the future [08:04] greezmunkey: GeForce4 MX 440 [08:05] and Now I got to ubuntu-offtopic.. my bad.. :D [08:05] I would avoid wireless in ubuntu more because it doesn't support most cards before I would say that wireless is unsecure [08:05] corpse, CD? [08:05] you can hack the firmware [08:05] wildbat: yep [08:05] Omar87, what are you really trying to figure out? [08:05] I did that on an acer aspire 3610's broadcom.. [08:05] Hi am using ubuntu 10.04 and every thing was good until I pressed the button that disables the touchpad on my keyboard and now it is not working even the config page for it in System__>Pref-->Mouse is gone!!! can anyone help me? [08:05] pat5star: `ok, well thanks for your help.......one last thing. i'd like to save our conversation so i can figure things out next time. do you know how i can do that without all the background chatter? [08:05] thanks to firmware-cutter [08:05] the thing is though.. [08:05] I use thinkpads now*** [08:05] and have for a while*** [08:05] mechcozmo: that's pretty old. There are newer issues with nvidia, and newer fixes. [08:06] its all about reseaching , and seein'w how well the hardware is supported, and how much struggle you might need to get yourself into [08:06] corpse, hold shift while boot ~ check the CD for integrity ~ it may be a bad burn ~ [08:06] rather than buying hardware, and then trying to figure things out..but it is challenging [08:06] jud: yep, just a sec [08:06] Hi am using ubuntu 10.04 and every thing was good until I pressed the button that disables the touchpad on my keyboard and now it is not working even the config page for it in System__>Pref-->Mouse is gone!!! can anyone help me? [08:06] hello, i have a question how can i log my daily chat in irc? [08:06] clint-, Thinkpad are nice laptops. I have mostly used them in the past. I currently have a Dell, but it is my first one. It was very cheap, and not as nice as the Thinkpad before it. (faster, though) [08:07] i'm using irssi [08:07] DCC SEND "keylogger.exe" 0 0 0 [08:07] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. === grandrew_ is now known as grandrew [08:07] wildbat: it was about to run the check and the error poped back up [08:07] keylogger.exe hehehe [08:07] rms7, In xchat, go to Windows/Save Text [08:07] no, i'm using irssi [08:08] I can syn flood em for ya :) [08:08] konsole [08:08] Severian, I see. It's just that I'm kinda worried that someone might sneak in and execute a reverse connection attack, and perhaps even gain root permission on my machine. [08:08] that IP looks like a spammer to me [08:08] corpe, it issued a bull? [08:08] corpse, you have bad CD then ~ check the iso with md5sum to make sure it is valid download , and burns one in slowest speed possible [08:08] using dkms how do I make the built version of a module the same as the installed version? [08:09] !md5sum | corpse [08:09] corpse: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:09] yep [08:09] Omar87, If you are willing to spend some time testing, get a vulnerability tool. Nessus is not bad to start with. [08:09] clint NZ [08:09] the crap I'm talking about [08:09] Asian Pacific [08:09] hi, when I run sphinx I see many warnings described in this bug report: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue36 -- does anyone know whether I can do something to get rid of these warnings on my Ubuntu machine? [08:09] jud: save all this text to a text file called chat.txt (you can name it better later, lol!) then run: grep -e "\(pat5star\|jud\)" chat.txt [08:09] I been blocking subnets, from China, Pakistan, and when Tokyo NTT OPen Computer Network started hitting, heh then it was on [08:09] but now that I got the sonicwall coming.. I"m excited.. [08:10] but also, this isn't only me, this is on a big deal.. a few security people I have talked to at US-CERT, and Level 3 Communcations a huge backbone carry. said.. yep its war [08:10] Severian: you see this too don't ya [08:10] greezmunkey: [08:10] jud: oops, that will just print it to your screen, so to save this to a file add to the command like this: grep -e "\(pat5star\|jud\)" chat.txt > saved-chat.txt [08:10] its in Asia.. [08:10] Severian, yeah. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm gonna do it right away. [08:10] Hey Guys....Still stuck with low graohics problem. Please say a solution :( [08:10] clint-: just ignore it [08:10] I found the driver and installed it and it says "invalid driver" wth [08:10] he can't, its too much to brag about [08:11] crap [08:11] jud: I suck at coming up with good, meaningful file names, you can change it accordingly lol :) [08:11] my mistake! [08:11] for real, yep NZ [08:11] but china, and I" not racist for all means.. [08:11] clint NZ [08:11] clint-, settle down, there, chap. It is just a firewall. The bad thing about SonicWalls is you have to pay an expensive subscription fee to keep them up to date. Without that, they become worthless fairly soon. Ones that have dropped off subscription go cheap on eBay. [08:11] Hey guys any solution for low graphics problem?? [08:11] China, Japan, Russia, and some other.s. Pakistan, and these backbone networks, I have tons of proof.. I have done full nmap scanning on these attacking IP's.. tcp/udp and its scary to see what there running [08:11] !ot | clint- [08:11] clint-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:12] sorry I"m just been in a huge paranoid state :( [08:12] Omar87, To do it right, you need to run the pen testing tool on another computer. [08:12] I would get a beer, but I took a Exedrin [08:12] yeah I know Severian [08:12] most of the features in it though I can use [08:12] My first 80gb partition is windows.. can I install Ubuntu into the second partition at the same disk then? [08:12] I'm not worried about all the other stuff.. [08:12] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel :P [08:13] I plan on having a smoothwall box or pfsense, [08:13] up and running..* [08:13] clint-, And some of them are quite nice looking. [08:13] Severian, I see. [08:13] or a watchguard* [08:13] Or do I need to have Linux as the first partition? [08:13] Severian, That's easy. :) [08:13] ..to be able to boot it. [08:13] hey Severian [08:13] hello everybody [08:13] Guys any solution for Low Graphics Error problem?? [08:13] clint-, I have an old watchguard I am setting up to run pfSense. [08:13] its got to be better then the speed stream 5100 I have and the 2wire.. 2700 HG-B [08:13] Please help [08:13] im using lucid lynx [08:13] sanderj: you can install it on any partition, windows usually likes to be the on the first though [08:13] clint-, use pfSense... it works better and has better support [08:13] yeah I see many people running pfsense on the watchguard hehe [08:14] anyone having a problem in update lucid lynx [08:14] yeah I have done some research on pfsense. [08:14] !who [08:14] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:14] tsimpson, so the boot sector dosn't need to be first? [08:14] Yup [08:14] clint-: please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:14] clint-, It has that nice pyramid LED display and is bright red. [08:14] but does it support.. IP/and/IP range, subnet blocking. mac address blocking? [08:14] the sonicwall I ordered does.. [08:14] whats the problem Krishnandu [08:14] tsimpson, good :-) [08:14] and well rem, I'm conserving power right now.. [08:14] I'm getting Low Graphics Error after the update.Many users are facing the same too [08:14] was laid off from CAT [08:14] sanderj: the boot sector is not on a partition [08:14] gotcha [08:14] ohh not that im having all graphics working [08:15] sorry peeps [08:15] I"m still interested in ubuntu though. see how its working and operating now :) [08:15] Krishnandu, I had to create a xorg.conf file on some Ubuntu 9.10 machines. I have not upgraded them yet, but that may be your solution, too. [08:15] is the password encryption using blowfish, if not AES 128/256/512 ? [08:15] tsimpson, oh, ok.. So the boot sector which has windows bootup now.. will be overwritten with a Linux boot sector, and thats all needed to boot Linux and windows? [08:15] jud: actually I just refined that a bit better, cause I have some chat with others you won't want...use this instead: grep -e "\(pat5star.*jud\|jud.*pat5star\)" chat.txt > saved-chat.txt [08:16] using dkms how do I make the built version of a module the same as the installed version? [08:16] Well......I've created that too [08:16] But no result [08:16] Severian: is ubuntu current not using an xorg config now? [08:16] Krishnandu, What kind of video hardware do these users have? [08:16] jud: that will save only the lines where you and I are talking to each other [08:16] I had to do the same for osuse 11.2 [08:16] sanderj: yes, grub will be put there and you should be given the option at boot to choose either windows or linux [08:16] but I wrote it well :) [08:16] I've 9500GT [08:16] こん [08:16] tsimpson: am I back on topic now? [08:16] clint-, by default, there is no xorg.conf file, but it is used if you create one.

[08:17] as I had to with osuse 11.2 [08:17] Japanese member? [08:17] Still I'm getting Low Graphics Error [08:17] Krishnandu, I'll be back in two moments. [08:17] * clint- watches the enter... -_- [08:17] ubuntu is coo [08:17] Okies [08:17] pat5star: ok, i'll sort that in a little while, thanks again [08:17] ubuntu rather [08:18] Ubuntu is bullshit....What type of OS is this?? Updating makes it unstable [08:18] hi Leute [08:18] !language | Krishnandu [08:18] Krishnandu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:18] Krishnandu: in the same boat as you, mate [08:18] jud: your welcome, good luck with your email problem :) [08:18] Krishnandu: are you using nvidia drivers? [08:18] omg English people here [08:18] aaaaah [08:18] Yes [08:18] :D [08:18] whats really cool is ZFS and btrfs.. :) [08:18] Krishnandu, when you update to a new version of ubuntu your best best is putting it on a live cd and installing it from that [08:19] I'm net even getting the GUI after the update [08:19] Krishnandu: neither do i [08:19] some crazy people here ? [08:19] I've installed it from Lice CD [08:19] Lice cd ? [08:19] pat5star: thanks [08:19] dagon: that totally defeats the purpose of upgrading via the internet [08:19] omg ubuntu is gay 1elf [08:19] It was running fine till I updated it [08:20] ok Krishnandu try switching the drives around in bios if you have multi drives on your box. [08:20] Typo Live CD [08:20] crongs: do you have a question to ask? [08:20] Krishnandu: can you do this? tail -n 35 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:20] no, thank you [08:20] Okies.....I'll b brb with the log. Lemme reboot to linux [08:20] i like all of you [08:20] crongs: this is a support channel, so only support questions here. use #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat [08:20] Krishnandu: do you get 'Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)' [08:21] ok tsimpson [08:21] bb [08:22] I'm getting "Failed to open device [08:22] Failed to initialize GLX extention(Compatible NVIDIA driver not found)" [08:23] Krishnandu: in your Xorg.0.log file, right? [08:23] Krishnandu: because i'm getting something different [08:23] No I'm getting the error msg in Low Graphics Mode dialog box [08:23] hi [08:24] Krishnandu: I don't even _get_ to Low Graphics Mode [08:24] Ok lemme reboot and post me the log file [08:24] Krishnandu: i have a flickering login prompt on my screen [08:24] Even I'm not getting the GUI of low graphics mode [08:25] what does "could not get lock" mean, during an update? [08:25] g [08:25] why in the hell was this released if it would break everyone using nvidia cards ever? [08:25] anub: you have dpkg open somewhere else [08:25] hello [08:25] thank you!!! [08:25] anub: yw [08:25] Krishnandu, I was away testing a fix to one of my computers. After updating to the latest kernel, my X stopped working. So, you are not alone. Your problem is worse, though. nVidia won't open source their drivers and so kernel updates sometime cause video problems. Blame Nvidia, not Ubuntu. [08:26] [08:26] kernel updates can cause problems with open drivers just as easily [08:26] Severian: sorry, but it should just disable the bad driver, and show me a screen that says "sorry, but we have no choice, hey, at least we aren't totally borking your entire install" [08:27] fiyawerx_, They can cause ploblems, but not just as easily. The kernel developers usually fix the open source drivers to work with new kernel releases. They can't do that with closed source drivers. [08:28] +1 severian [08:28] Hi. I need help... [08:28] Severian: so... disable them and get users mad at nvidia because pretty graphics don't work instead of royally messing up user's installations and getting them mad at Ubuntu [08:28] Is it any application on linux comparision Snowtape on mac?.. It's a music-application as Rythmbox or iTunes. But it records Internetradio (any audio-stream) and adding meta-data (artist, title, album, album-cover etc.) and then makes it to separate MP3-files. and it removes the commercial in all clips... [08:28] betaman: ask the qn [08:28] betaman: just ask your question, we know you need help, that's why you are here [08:29] mechcozmo, It does not mess up your whole install. Like I just went through, it is fixable. I sshed to the machine from another computer, edited the xorg.conf file and rebooted. It took me 2 boots, but it works now. [08:29] SIANC [08:29] On a machine with two disks 1-vista 2- ubuntu 10.4 (upgraded from 9) I can't boot into vist [08:29] Severian: been there, done that, not working [08:29] the pc just resets... [08:29] Severian: and if i didn't have another machine to ssh in from (see: my grandparents) then what? [08:30] betaman: when u start it it resets?? do u get to log in? [08:30] Glad I'm reading this...I've only done one upgrade (this laptop I'm on now which has a crappy Intel video card) to lucid, but I have a couple others still on karmic. one of them being my good desktop which has nvidia. I think I'll hold off a little while yet :) [08:30] mechcozmo, I always have a few spare computers. Doesn't everone? [08:30] when I choose vista loader it resets... [08:30] This happened after upgrading... [08:30] Severian: you have just proved why this is such a PITA [08:31] mechcozmo, What you are complaining about is somewhat reasonable. It should fail more gracefully. People are working on that. In the meantime, we do the best we can. [08:31] betaman: you need to update your grub menu [08:31] !grub-update [08:31] last heebie [08:31] Severian: it's pretty much why i don't encourage anyone to use linux; i don't want to clean up after they upgrade [08:32] Hello. Since update to Lucid I cannot use my kolab kontacts anymore. Kolab is disabled as KDE ressource for contacts. [08:32] mechcozmo, I don't know what the article this refers to. If it is Ubuntu, then I heartily disagree. And that argument is pointless anyway. What can we actually help you with today? [08:32] hey all, i run a voluntary newsletter for artists in my area. they send in something about what they're doing in the following month, i compile it into a pdf and send it to everyone on the list at the beginning of each month. I was using a gmail account but after the list increased to over 500 i would have to wait 12 hours as 500 is the max limit google allows every 12 hours. The list has since grown to around 1400 and so the gmail optio [08:33] Severian: i upgraded to 10.04 LTS from 9.10, and now, i have no video [08:33] mechcozmo: that's not a good reason really...once you get lucid working, and since it's lts, it'll work flawless for a long, long time! [08:33] it say command not found... [08:33] mechcozmo, Linux is much less trouble to maintain on a regular basis than eith of it main rivals. They each have problems, and Ubuntu is a nice solution. [08:33] Severian: i run FreeBSD and OS X typically, but for MythTV, i need Linux [08:34] betaman: that was not the command, its sudo update-grub [08:34] jud: It sounds like you should be running a webserver - let your artists come to you... [08:34] Severian: both of those have never failed an update, or left the computer in an unusable state [08:34] Severian: however, totally beside the point [08:34] Severian: i am _now_ trying to get some shiny-shiny graphics again on my Ubuntu installation [08:35] need help: usb floppy mitsumi not accesible on ubuntu. where to dounload the drive? [08:35] Severian: i'd be happy to express my views to you on OS design, etc. in an offtopic channel, later [08:35] jackstoner:done it but same result... [08:35] mechcozmo, FreeBSD has done the same thing to me and was much more trouble to fix. But, back to your problem. Can you ssh to the machine that has no video? Or, can you use a virtual console to edit files? [08:36] greezmunkey: `right, I had installed apache actually in the interests of maybe hosting a website but i haven't strated learning how to use that yet. So i could set up an email account with that which would have no restrictions? [08:36] Severian: yes; it is only accessibly via SSH [08:36] jud: what about your isp? [08:37] betaman: mmmh..what is in your grub menu file? [08:37] mechcozmo, My first suggestion is to see if it will boot using vesa drivers. You can see what the file should look like here. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [08:37] jud: most acounts allow for a few mailboxes, and for the ability to send mail - you just need to check on that. [08:37] or if u want an easier way u can reinstall grub [08:38] Severian: I don't have any of those chips [08:38] you mean menu.lst ? After upgrading to 10.4 I can't find it in /boot/grub ... [08:38] greezmunkey: ok, i'll do that. any other options i might have? [08:38] is there a way to install packages from i386 arch from x86_64 system with apt? [08:39] how do i user apt-get to upgrade my ubuntu gnome desktop [08:39] mechcozmo, I don't use Nvidia anymore. I did not like tainting my kernel of the hassles it causes because of the proprietary drivers. I'll try to help, but I don't guarantee success. If you are going to lose your temper, lets not start. [08:39] betaman: i suggest u reinstall grub [08:39] kritzi: No. [08:39] jackstoner: how can I reinstall it...I'm a newbie here... [08:39] Severian: I need nvidia drivers for HW acceleration; i'm thankful for the help [08:39] lars_bauer: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade ?? [08:39] mechcozmo, it does not matter about the chips. Use the exaple they posted about setting up for the vesa drivers. [08:39] lars_bauer: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [08:39] + [08:39] hi guys how can i run fsck or similar on ntfs partition please [08:39] jud: once you know what your isp supports, you should be able to get empathy set up to connect. As far as sending thousands of emails from that account - you'll have to clear that with them. They won't let themselves get blacklisted because of spamming. [08:40] mechcozmo, my goal was to get you up and running and then worry about acceleration. [08:40] betaman: sudo aptitude install grub [08:40] Severian: fair enough [08:40] jud: if your isp provides email accounts they may not have the restrictions you face with gmail. Another alternative is setting up your own mail server which can be a bit of work but once set up you can do whatever you want. If you go that route, I'd use postfix, it's a great mailserver and easy to maintain [08:41] hunahpu, JackStoner thx [08:41] welcome [08:41] Severian: no dice, back at the login: prompt [08:41] ntfs chkdsk or similar tool for ubuntu lucid? [08:41] jud: short of paying for a fixed ip, you can register a domain at godaddy, or the like, and maybe setup a DynDNS account for your server. Then you can run your own mailserver [08:42] jud, you are asking about sending out lots of email, right. It sounds like you need a mailing list and not a mail account. Both google and yahoo offer such services. [08:42] jackstoner:still the same problem :( [08:42] Severian: nice catch, there it is. [08:42] doh, why don't problems fix themselves until you're about to show someone else it's broken? [08:42] Hi, all of lubuntu kubuntu and xunbntu are not official distribution? [08:43] fqh: kubuntu and xubuntu are official [08:43] mechcozmo, you edit that file and rebooted, or did a startx or what? [08:43] betaman: im out of ideas, gimme time to think, sorry [08:43] Severian: edited and restarted [08:43] Fudge: apt-cache search ntfs might help [08:43] hunahpu: OK [08:43] WELL THANKS ALL, that gives me a few options to think about [08:43] later all [08:43] ich möchte meine internetverbindung die von ppp0 ausgeht (wird mit einem script hergestellt) auf eth0 verteilen, wie geht das mit den einstellungen im netzwerk verbiundungs manager? [08:43] thanks for being cool [08:43] mechcozmo, login and try a startx. See what error you get. [08:43] Hope the ubuntu base keeps getting better for you all, I Might test it later on.. [08:43] Severian: (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [08:44] maybe as a side project [08:44] Severian: nice talking to you [08:44] sorry to all for the enter and offtopic stuff [08:44] mechcozmo, That should be fixable. I have done it before, but it took a little time. [08:44] Severian: feel like i need to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure" [08:44] its a big room clint- thats all [08:44] clint-, good night. [08:44] Severian: can't remember the package name [08:45] mechcozmo, What package name? [08:45] Severian: for X [08:45] mechcozmo: You can redo your x config with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:45] Severian & greezmunkey: ah, that one [08:45] hola alguien habla español? [08:45] Fudge: you need to install ntfsprogs [08:46] !info ntfsprogs | Fudge [08:46] Fudge: ntfsprogs (source: linux-ntfs): tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux. In component main, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 268 kB, installed size 712 kB [08:46] !es | lucas [08:46] lucas: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [08:46] excuse me some body know a sofware for video capture?¿? [08:47] Severian & greezmunkey: no dice [08:47] mechcozmo, I was going to have you make more edits to xorg.conf. If reconfigure works, that is even better. As a fallback, is the nv driver an option. That is the open driver, but I hear it may be getting old. [08:47] Severian: i have tried using the nv driver, no change [08:47] lucas: you can do it with Kino I think [08:47] hmmm my Crtl-Alt-f1/2/3/4/5.... not working .... hmmmmm [08:47] Severian: Heh, we tried that earlier - nv caused more errors. [08:48] lucas: video capture of your screen, or just capture from a webcam etc [08:48] Hi all [08:48] Severian: didn't seem to make any changes to xorg.conf, what edits did you have in mind? === jkhsdfjhfdasjh is now known as BIG_LAZ === BIG_LAZ is now known as Big_Laz [08:48] hi guys, [08:48] mmm but kino don't recocnize usb port [08:48] can anyone point me to the multimedia rooom? [08:49] hey [08:50] Big_Laz: There isn't a specific multimedia room that I'm aware of, ask your question here though, somebody should be able to help though, or point you to a more appropriate channel if necessary [08:50] is there a multimedia room? I've got a question about avchd support [08:50] mechcozmo: I haven't been following your convo so maybe this has been tried already, but have you ran nvidia-xconfig? [08:50] Big_Laz: #ubuntu-studio [08:50] cheers [08:50] zizu [08:50] pat5star: very first thing i tried [08:50] thank you [08:50] Big_Laz: You're welcome. [08:51] mechcozmo, I said it would take some time. I am doing some research now and I'll be back. [08:51] mechcozmo: oh ok, well I hope this gets fixed soon...I've got to go through it soon myself with my desktop :( [08:51] hey guys whats that Niles app called that lets you edit folder settings [08:51] Severian: fair enough; i'll be around. thanks [08:52] pat5star: suggest not upgrading if we can't get this fixed, suggest upgrading if we can :-p [08:52] Hi everyone. Can anyone here kindly provide help with configuring dhcp3-server on 10.04 desktop (64bit) for use with firestarter? [08:53] mechcozmo, Try changing the xorg.conf file for one more thing. Just change the vesa to generic. No other changes at the moment. [08:53] mechcozmo: lol. that's why I only upgraded my laptop right now. it just has intel video but I even had a little problem with it at first. all's good now though and overall, I'm really liking lucid, so I say it's worth the trouble you're going through :) [08:53] is it niles or something [08:54] No one seems to be in the studio room. so maybe someone here can help (I'm hope). I've tried searching the forums, but I'm curious about avchd support in ubuntu [08:54] pat5star: yeah... my laptop is OS X 10.6 running off an SSD in the ExpressCard port [08:54] pat5star: so fast :) [08:54] Severian: no dice :-( [08:54] mechcozmo: I can't wait to try SSD myself and compare [08:54] Severian: '(EE) Failed to load module "generic" (module does not exist, 0)' [08:55] pat5star: the nice thing about using an ExpressCard is i get to keep the comparatively-big HDD for storage [08:55] music, etc. [08:55] mechcozmo: how big is your ssd? [08:56] pat5star: 48GB [08:56] mechcozmo: nice! [08:56] does the latest ubuntu use grub2? [08:56] mechcozmo: what fs do you use on it? [08:56] pat5star: HFS+, Journaled [08:57] mechcozmo: hmmm...never played with that, I'll have to go read up on it [08:57] pat5star: Macintosh default :-p [08:57] mechcozmo, What monitor are you using? [08:57] Severian: S [08:57] - [08:57] whoops... [08:57] Severian: S-Video out to a TV [08:57] mechcozmo: oh that's why...don't use macs here [08:57] pat5star: HFS+ is a nice filesystem... certainly showing its age, but still holding up quite well [08:58] hiho [08:58] is there any type of firewall app that will analize logs for brute force attempts and port scans and add those ip's to the iptables firewall? [08:58] mechcozmo: nothing against them, just what scares me away is everyone I know that tried mac became instant fanboy, obsessed, and all they do is talk about it and praise how wonderful it is. I'm afraid of turning into that ;) [08:58] pat5star: the in-file-system compression added with 10.6 is pretty convenient [08:58] how can i install windows ? [08:58] i hate linux === Sephis is now known as sephis [08:58] how do i enable the mouse back and forward button? [08:59] pat5star: i've been using Macs for years, and slowly converting people just because it works [08:59] no idea , but i need windows [08:59] wtf... [08:59] wtf is up with the trolls, leave mofo's [08:59] pat5star: Linux has it's niche, but when i need it to work, I hesitate before reaching for it [08:59] pat5star: hesitate longer before reaching for Windows :p [09:00] BOB6775: If you're getting rid of linux completely, just put your windows cd in and follow its installer, probably better to ask in ##windows though [09:00] mechcozmo: I'm going to have to try one out someday. I really do know some people that have switched over and they just absolutely love everything about them. [09:00] udevd-event[1051]: udev_node_mknod: mknod(/dev/tty58.udev-tmp, 020660, 4, 58) failed: Operation not permitted [09:00] Once ubuntu can handle avchd .... my windoze partition is GONE! [09:00] pat5star: suggest installing MacPorts if you're big into the OSS stuff; it gets you most of what's in the *BSD ports collection [09:00] hi all [09:01] pat5star: the rest, you can build yourself (it's still UNIX) or download all pre-built and shiny [09:01] my Ubuntu 10.04 spontaneously failed to enable networking on boot. Quite unusual for me. [09:01] mechcozmo: I've been with linux for years though and comfortable here. I do have most machines dual-booted with windows but seldom use it. I've always been able to do all my work with debian at first, now *buntu's and I'm happy [09:01] anyone has such an experience? [09:02] vian [09:02] I find ubuntu a lot easier than windows for most things [09:02] pat5star: i'd suggest trying a Mac; worst case, they hold their retail value really well after three months [09:03] mechcozmo: what I've always wondered about macs is if you can tweak configs and settings as freely as you can with linux. are you basically able to change anything and everything if you want? is there a lot of common stuff available too like cron, grep, etc.? [09:03] mechcozmo, OK, I am thinking something like this: http://pastebin.com/ya2nHjBZ [09:03] pat5star: you can tweak a lot of the configs and settings; all your standard *NIX utils are there, but cron has been depreciated [09:03] vak: you using nm or wicd? [09:04] mechcozmo: for what? [09:04] Severian: trying it now... [09:04] pat5star: launchd [09:04] mechcozmo: sorry, I'll leave you two to figure that out....good luck :) [09:04] vak is it persistent? what has changed? [09:05] mechcozmo: is that a graphical replacement or does it have cli too? [09:05] pat5star: it's all CLI [09:05] pat5star: Ubuntu considered using it for PID1 awhile back actually [09:05] Hi all.. here's a question about apt-get [09:05] udevd-event[1051]: udev_node_mknod: mknod(/dev/tty58.udev-tmp, 020660, 4, 58) failed: Operation not permitted [09:05] mechcozmo: cool, that's what I'm afraid of in that I don't know if mac tries to hide everything behind a gui like certain other os's ;) [09:05] pat5star: it's neat because you can have things on-demand or per-action, instead of only on a timetable === croppa is now known as croppa_ [09:06] I would like to freeze a given package, in my case php5, to a certain version [09:06] Severian: i see X! [09:06] how can I do that? [09:06] mechcozmo: they did? why, is it open source or they were going to license it? [09:06] pat5star: yeah, the core OS X stuff is all OSS [09:06] pat5star: look at Darwin [09:07] mechcozmo: I understand some of it is from bsd, i think [09:07] pat5star: only some userland [09:07] !pinning | andreaf [09:07] andreaf: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [09:07] pat5star: kernel is all apple [09:07] Severian: i have graphics [09:07] what is the keyboard shortcut for opening home folder? [09:07] aaron_liuj: that sounds maybe like something apparmor might be preventing [09:08] ubottu: thanks.. [09:08] ubottu: I'm going to have a look at it right now [09:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:08] pat5star, if you want to understand the origins, look for a talk from a chaos computer conferes 2 or 3 years back. A female speaker(which I mention only to help you find it) who explained its origins pretty well.' [09:08] andreaf: Ubutto is a bot, :) [09:09] lo [09:09] rocket16: I suspected that from its name :) [09:09] mechcozmo, Great. It sounds like that is progress. It is perhaps a smaller screen than normal, but for a tv, it may be ok. === croppa_ is now known as croppa [09:09] pat5star: XNU (the kernel) and Darwin is all OSS; some userland stuff is, too [09:10] anyone kno y lucid is making urban terror and other games both deb/ubuntu and windows, slower, also flash in web browser [hulu.com] seems slower than these things were in 9.10 karmic [09:10] Severian: right... i'm debating trying to run the nvidia driver install files now :-/ [09:10] save that xorg.conf file. Then, experiment. [09:10] how to make the computer locked when the laptop lid is closed?? [09:11] ouyes, There may be a HAL event you can hook to. [09:11] pat5star: basically, you have all your configs... which you don't need to mess with. but if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, you can. it isn't recommended, but you can do all kinds of nasty things to your OS X install [09:12] Severian, what is a HAL? [09:12] ouyes, Hardware Abstraction Layer [09:12] any1 have any ideas/sugg's for me? [09:12] mechcozmo: lol, so what is it if you had to pick say the top 2 or 3 things that many users prefer mac over linux for? I keep hearing about a fantastic gui but what else? [09:12] hi [09:13] Severian: HAL has been depricated. [09:13] so I have to press ctrl+alt+L to lock the computer and then close the lip? [09:13] pat5star: the GUI is pretty nice; Exposé is way better than virtual desktops IMO [09:13] u talkin to me, Severian? [09:13] ouyes: I'm not certain, but I thought the settings for that was right in systemsettings [09:13] Jordan_U, somewhat. It is being depracated, and should be gone in meercat. It is still partially here, from what I can tell. [09:14] udevd-event[1044]: udev_node_mknod: mknod(/dev/tty51.udev-tmp, 020660, 4, 51) failed: Operation not permitted [09:14] ouyes try the gconf-editor /apps/gnome-power-mananager/lock/blank_screen [09:14] pat5star: but the fact it works when i need it to is the #1 reason, _every_single_time_ [09:14] does any1 here think 10.04 lucid will become faster as updates r made? [09:14] Severian: It's not included in a default install of 10.04 [09:14] pat5star: no sshing or hacking [09:14] vic20gmr, not that I know of. [09:14] udevd-event[1044]: udev_node_mknod: mknod(/dev/tty51.udev-tmp, 020660, 4, 51) failed: Operation not permitted [09:14] ValueError: /usr/bin/python does not match the python default version. It must be reset to point to python2.6 [09:14] ouyes: mine locks automatically when I close the lid, and always has...it was a default setting because I never set it [09:15] iflema, what is that for? [09:15] Where is the File that gives the value of the default Python to ubuntu on karmic? [09:15] mechcozmo: but that's where the args fall apart for me...because my linux systems work like that too (well once I've fixed them all up after upgrades). Seriously, I can't remember the last time I've had a panic and it's very rare a program crashes [09:16] ouyes when the screen blanks itll lock... ya screen blanks when shut yeah? [09:16] pat5star: uh... fixed them all up after upgrades? [09:16] Jordan_U, perhaps. That is not what I read. I read they hoped to remove it, but it was still needed for some events. [09:16] pat5star: how about not having to do that? [09:16] udevd-event[1044]: udev_node_mknod: mknod(/dev/tty51.udev-tmp, 020660, 4, 51) failed: Operation not permitted [09:16] mechcozmo: ya that would be nice [09:17] sealive, it is /usr/bin/python [09:17] mechcozmo: i do agree it's a pita after an upgrade, but for example, I have karmic running on my other systems beautifully, including the desktop with the nvidia card... [09:17] sealive. It is just a symlink to the real python. [09:17] pat5star: other nice things is the freeware/shareware community... sometimes you need a GUI application, and the stuff for Macs is top-notch [09:17] pat5star: look at TextWrangler; it's the king of free text editors [09:18] mechcozmo: and it's why I waited until this week for lucid with this laptop because i had hoped enough time passed that the stupid big bugs had been ironed out [09:18] Severian: So how do i fix this [09:18] pat5star: when you make money on people not being pissed at stupid bugs because you run a company... there aren't stupid bugs [09:18] sealive, I don't know the problem. fix what? [09:18] sealive: you need an older version of python? [09:19] pat5star: granted, sometimes Apple doesn't fix bugs that are small for some time, but there are maybe three or four cases in the last decade that's actually been a problem [09:19] im trying to play freeorion, and it belongs to root, and i cant make it executable [09:19] any1? [09:19] pat5star: meanwhile, Firefox still has bugzilla tickets in the triple digits from way-back-when [09:19] slimjimflim: I got 2.5 and 2.6 on the system [09:19] mechcozmo: I'll check it out, never heard of it till now. I use vim and love it, so text editors isn't an issue for me but if I have to use a gui I stick with kate or kwrite...on windows I actually really, really like textpad [09:20] ouyes oh yeah.... f ya lock the screen on ya screen saver it prob will not work..... the setting for that is below the blank_screen [09:20] slimjimflim: i installt python-libbost 1.38 new [09:20] pat5star: TextWrangler (and BBEdit, paid, but I use it because it is amazing) can't be beat [09:20] iam unable to share internet connection on the ad hoc network created in ubuntu [09:20] pat5star: TextMate might be able to challenge them, but that's also OS X [09:20] sealive: what app is giving the error? [09:20] i have an ancient bbedit i ran on my g3 [09:20] hehe [09:20] mechcozmo, TextWrangler is nice. I use it on my G3 iBook. [09:20] mechcozmo: oh I understand what you mean about bugs, I like linux for my work, but I wouldn't roll it out to a big office of average users [09:21] debian for "bigger" stuff req'ing more stability than ubuntu [09:21] slimjimflim: the system itself misses now python2.5-minimal python-lxml python-numpy python-reportlab python-reportlab-accel python-uniconvertor python2.5 [09:22] the system depends on python 2.5 [09:22] sealive: you've done ur updates? [09:22] pat5star, Linux is better for a group of most users than OSX or Windows. They each have their own problems. I show average users how to use it pretty often. [09:22] yes [09:22] but apt-get and synaptc uses this files [09:22] 'the system itself'? [09:22] do only dpkg is availebel [09:23] and it simply does not work to reinstall [09:23] i don't even understand what you're trying to do [09:23] Start synaptics Fail [09:23] pat5star: there's all kinds of nice little features Apple throws in for power users; it takes time to learn all the tricks of the trade, but it is all very well thought out and integrates nicely [09:23] sealive, There is a lot of traffic in this channel. I don't know your root problem and so I answered what I saw you ask. [09:23] Severian: I show (and sometimes convert) regular folk linux all the time. In the context I was talking before, I wouldn't roll out linux to a large office of average users that required a full os though just because I couldn't stand the whining... [09:23] Severian: pat5star mechcozmo this is technical support only - discuss offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:24] Severian: that's where I'd *gasp* go with windows. in other instances, sure I'd go with linux, in fact I'd prefer it! [09:24] Severian: i did talk to slimjimflim [09:24] ok, so from the cli, type 'synaptic' and pastebin the output [09:24] sealive, Are you ok now, then? [09:24] sealive: ^^ [09:25] fair enough... pat5star, i'm willing to answer any other questions you have; i'm pretty candid, although i have my biases; usually pretty good about admitting those, too [09:25] pat5star: (in #ubuntu-offtopic, i mean) [09:25] do i need 2 remove windows bfore installing linux? [09:25] slimjimflim: Abhängigkeitsprobleme - lasse es unkonfiguriert [09:25] Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von: python2.5-minimal python-lxml python-numpy [09:25] python-reportlab [09:25] python-reportlab-accel [09:25] python-uniconvertor [09:25] sealive: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:25] python2.5 [09:25] * iflema yes =) [09:25] sealive: http://pastebin.com [09:25] sealive: what language is that? [09:25] yes, I shouldn't get caught up in this...I'm trying to finish a little program and only meant to poke my head in here once in awhile to see if I could help anyone, so I'm going to back out a little here. nice chatting with you guys tho, especially Severian & mechcozmo :) [09:26] German [09:26] pat5star: sounds good, see you around [09:26] pat5star, Bye Nice talking to you too. [09:26] !de | sealive [09:26] sealive: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [09:26] i don't speak german [09:27] slimjimflim: you dont hav to [09:27] sealive: you need to put the output into the text box in http://pastebin.com [09:27] slimjimflim: thanks [09:27] and then paste the link in here [09:28] slimjimflim: there is a CYan coloud "python" in "/usr/bin" can i delet this [09:28] slimjimflim: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/216533/ [09:28] slimjimflim: thats in german that does not help you [09:28] i wouldn't do that [09:29] i'm gonna translate it [09:29] anyone recommend an easy way to save a login sessions so when you log back in, all your programs are open again where they were? [09:29] sealive What do you get from ls -l /usr/bin/python [09:29] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2010-05-02 14:00 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.5 [09:30] so only the linking is the problem maybee [09:30] MACscr: look here: http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome3n3d.htm [09:31] greezmunkey: im not seeing sessions in 10.4, not in the preferences menu [09:31] sealive: try this: [09:31] Severian: how is the command to link it against python2.6 [09:31] sudo apt-get remove python [09:32] hi everybody. ubuntu 10.04, sound not working [09:32] MACscr: in a terminal type: man gnome-session-save - see what it tells you, sorry. [09:32] slimjimflim: and then [09:32] hi [09:32] MACscr: did it tell you command not found, or some such? [09:33] slimjimflim: woudent it be better to simply change the link? [09:33] anbody faces prblm with configuring mysql in ubuntu 10.4 server edition [09:33] sealive, look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link [09:33] sealive: maybe, but lets remove python and then reinstall it first [09:33] if it's still broken, we can take other actions [09:33] try this: [09:33] dpkg --get-selections|grep python [09:34] see if there are any other python related packages still installed [09:34] remove them [09:35] sealive, Is this computer running Karmic or Lucid. Your symlink points to Python 2.5. Even Jaunty used Python 2.6 [09:35] rrrrrim not able to share the internet on the ad hoc created in ubuntu [09:36] Severian: Karmicamd64 [09:36] sealive, reinstalling python may be a good idea. What I'd worry about is what else is messed up. Did your upgrade have visible problems? [09:37] Severian: i now uninstall python like slimjimflim said [09:37] it is removing 870MB right now [09:38] sealive, That is scary. You are probably removing things you need. [09:38] i think the hole system goes! [09:38] I am connected via ppp0. I want to share the internet to the network via eth0. How can i set up the network-manager to share the internet? [09:38] WHAT? [09:39] what all are u uninstalling sealive ? [09:39] Severian: using the proprietary hardware thang in Ubuntu, i managed to get using the right nvidia drivers again [09:39] aks_: this is a bit technical, and assumes a few things, but have a look: http://www.facebook.com/notes/ubuntu-nepal/internet-connection-sharing-in-linux-over-ad-hoc-wireless/356751763898 [09:39] slimjimflim: sudo apt-get remove python [09:39] ok [09:40] @all How can i channge duration of beeing root after executing a sudo-command in terminal? [09:40] mechcozmo, I am glad to hear it. It sounds like you are back to where you want to be. Have a good day. [09:40] hello i search graphic driver for ati radeon x1100 [09:40] Severian: was sort of hand-wavy; didn't work the first time, but did after installing the packages via Synaptic, restarting the box, and then going back into the restricted drivers panel [09:40] aks_: Did you set the ad hok network as "shared" in network manager? [09:41] jordan_u yes [09:41] sealive, Mark Shuttleworth is a python programmer. Python is used for lots of things on Ubuntu and is a dependancy. My guess is you will end up reinstalling, if you really did the uninstall. [09:42] aks_: is it set that way right now, if so type ifconfig to see what IP addresses you were given. [09:43] NFischer: man sudoers [09:43] sealive: I'm Mark Shuttleworth. I lol'd at you guys when I was on the moon. [09:43] pat5star: (sorry, missed your message) how could I check if it is nm or wicd? [09:43] greezmunkey 10.42.43.1 [09:43] iflema: no networking failed on boot only once. nothing changed [09:44] aks_: exactly, that address is on the ad-hoc then, right? [09:44] how to use the volume label when mounting from nautilus? currently volume is mounted by uuid [09:44] greezmunkey please wait [09:44] I mean in /media/ [09:44] pat5star: dpkg -l |grep wicd ==> nothing [09:45] hi everybody. ubuntu 10.04, sound not working. it show then it's turned off. what should i do? [09:45] slimjimflim: SYSTEM is grayd out [09:45] Selive-win98: is this seatek ? [09:45] pat5star: i guess, I have nm (anyway I have something coming by default with ubuntu) [09:45] i am now on the old [09:45] slimjimflim: jes [09:46] the whole system is grayed out? [09:46] all python using aps are gone [09:46] cannot run xsane for my hp f380. After "scanning for devices", it comes back with "no device available". i have checked the connection, udev rules. what else to check? [09:46] slimjimflim: only terminal is here [09:46] so do sudo apt-get install python now [09:46] no gedit no firerfoy no aps all gone [09:46] how do i setting up the buttons for my "Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser" mouse ? [09:47] Hey guys. Trying to shorten an NTFS drive to make room for a linux install. Fdisk can read that the partition is ntfs, but gparted reports that it can't tell the filesystem, so it refuses to resize. Any ideas? [09:47] all you need is cli [09:47] kowna: xsanes supported scanner list, trust me if it's not there you are out of luck. [09:47] how update kadu in bt4 ?? [09:47] greezmunkey: which file holds the list? [09:47] greezmunkey yes its dere..i updated it right now [09:47] johnPL: we don't support back track here [09:47] apt-get update kadu is not working [09:47] johnPL, #backtrack-linux for bt4 support [09:48] slimjimflim: how can i use apt-get if itself uses python [09:48] i only can use dpkg [09:48] aks_: so the machine at the other end of the ad-hoc gets what address? [09:48] johnPL: But honestly, a security based distro that runs the entire desktop environment as root... [09:48] oh [09:49] after adding a ppa, how do i take advantage of it? im trying to upgrade evolutoin [09:49] hold on [09:49] slimjimflim: i got the packetches her [09:49] greezmunkey i didnt get you\ [09:49] slimjimflim: python2.5 first or python minimal [09:49] Selive-win98: so can you install python again then with dpkg? [09:49] Selive-win98: apt-get doesn't depend on python [09:49] hmmm, running karmic? [09:50] greezmunkey the same address which i have specified [09:50] kowna: I was only able to run xsane as root due to a permissions problem, solved by chmod-ing the usb device. Does it work under sudo? [09:50] Selive-win98: karmic? [09:50] slimjimflim: YES [09:50] MACscr apt-get/aptitude or synaptic [09:50] hold on, lemme look that up [09:50] On my USB pendrive there are 2 special directories /media/ACER/.Trash-1000/files and /media/ACER/.Trash-1000/info. How to properly delete their contents? [09:50] Selive-win98: Before installing anything else, install apt., [09:50] how to change the default mountpoint when mounting an external hdd from nautilus? it defaults to /media/... [09:51] aks_: you are sharing an Internet connection on your PC - via ad-hoc to another wifi machine, right? [09:51] iflema: i did sudo apt-get upgrade, but its saying that a few packages have been "kept back". Whats that all about? it includes the stuff i am needing [09:51] aks_: what address is the machine at the other end getting? [09:51] Selive-win98: looks like you should beusing python 2.6 [09:51] enriq, mount it manually ~? [09:51] hp f380 is not in /etc/sane.d. is that the end of the matter? [09:51] no worries though, you can just wget the deb [09:51] system is now done [09:51] no more inputs [09:51] Selive-win98: done with what? [09:51] anyone can show me how do i setting up the buttons for "Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser" mouse? [09:51] Selive-win98: what was it doing before? [09:52] uninstalling still? [09:52] i try grub recover [09:52] MACscr its about all the dependencies that need to go with it.... best to stick with the release..... [09:52] Selive-win98: do you still have a cli? [09:52] slimjimflim: DOWN [09:52] Selive-win98: can you boot into recover mode? [09:52] greezmunkey u there? [09:52] slimjimflim: i eaven cant hit the shut off [09:53] recovery [09:53] Selive-win98: hold down the power button until it shuts off [09:53] aks_: Oh, ok that should work...yes I am [09:53] enriq: i'm pretty sure adding an entry for the external HDD in /etc/fstab would let u customize the mountpoint [09:53] turn it back on and go to the recovery shell [09:53] aks_: what is the other address on the internet connected machine? [09:53] slimjimflim: ok what is the key to go into grub start picture [09:54] slimjimflim: Please don't recommend installing anything with dpkg except apt itself. apt has very few dependencies and will let you install anything else safely and easily. [09:54] aks_: see if you can ping that from the far end machine [09:54] greezmunkey :- wat do you mean? [09:54] Jordan_U: ook [09:54] aks_: dude [09:54] !ppa MACscr [09:54] good idea [09:54] !ppa | MACscr [09:54] MACscr: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [09:54] slimjimflim: ok what is the key to go into grub start picture [09:54] Selive-win98: um, idk, what does your screen say? [09:54] iflema: thanks, i figured it out [09:55] system is out [09:55] Selive-win98: did you turn it on? [09:55] slimjimflim: power off [09:55] Selive-win98: just turn it on [09:55] kj1986: hi! [09:55] tell me what happens [09:55] usually you can get the menu up by holding shift [09:55] Loshki: under /dev/usb there is only lp0 and it is now 660. [09:55] finally [09:56] aks_: one of the pcs has two interfaces, one is connected to the Internet, the other is the ad-hoc. What is the Internet interfaces IP address. Ping that from the far end wifi machine to see if it works or not. [09:57] slimjimflim: i am now into consol login [09:57] mdkaneda55, ok it worked (as nautilus tried to mount in my fstab defined mountpoint) but complains "only root can mount to /media/MYMOUNTPOINT". I chown /media/MYMOUNTPOINT but still the same [09:57] im confused about a software raid it seems on this laptop, it has /sda /sdb and sda3 and sda4 appear to be the data drive both round 140gig and i dont know how to mount it correctly [09:58] i think its software raid anyway, when trying to ntfsfix it said about dmraid [09:58] Selive-win98: ok, so then let's install apt [09:58] how can we switch on/off ethernet in ubuntu 9.10 [09:58] lemme find you a link to the package [09:58] how did you end up with no apt [09:58] o.O [09:58] kj1986, ifconfig eth down [09:58] enriq: sudo mount -a [09:59] enriq: oh, hmm.... when plugging in it complains? [09:59] hello [09:59] kj1986, of course, you need sudo and you need to specify the real eth port. [09:59] slimjimflim: system is down i reinstall the system new [09:59] mdkaneda55, yes, when plugging the drive [09:59] BY [09:59] kowna: the entry I changed on mine was /dev/bus/usb/005/008 to crw-rw-r-- [10:00] mdkaneda55, and when clicking on it in nautilus [10:00] Severian: I actually was using wireless then suddenly both ethernet and wireless stopped working [10:00] Apparantly aks_ left... === Fudge is now known as Fudgeness [10:00] Too late for me, g'night! [10:00] I'm using intel's HDaudio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) , and occasionally audio simply stops. The underlying ALSA layer appears to be the problem (as sox's 'play' does not output sound) [10:00] enriq: hold on a sec, let me see if google can help... [10:00] Severian: So I think I have somehow switched off the networking option and am not able to switch it on again [10:00] xs2ubuntu@xs2ubuntu-desktop:~$ firefox [10:00] Attempting to load libmoonloaderxpi [10:00] Segmentation fault [10:00] ..Im already purge the libmoon then get back the application but the problem still smae..somebody here can help me not??? [10:00] xs2ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:01] kj1986, so, is there a different question? I don't understand if you still need something. [10:01] Severian :: hello [10:01] Severian :: can u help me to solve my prob not?? [10:01] Severian: Yeah, I am not able to figure out if I can switch on/off the network option from somewhere in ubuntu 9.10 [10:02] Severian: or else what reasons are possible for suddent switching off of the networks [10:02] mdkaneda55, thanks, figured it out [10:02] mdkaneda55, I needed the option "user" in fstab [10:02] enriq: user/users option in fstab line? [10:03] enriq: lol, we read the same thing [10:03] hello [10:03] Severian: when I click on either ethernet or wireless network, the globe rotates for a long time and then it says u r disconnected [10:03] mdkaneda55, yes :) man fstab? cheers mdkaneda55 [10:03] kj1986, Network manager or ifconfig can take interfaces up and down. If both go down at once, I'd suspect an external cause. [10:04] kj1986,So, the network you are connecting to is likely having problems. Is there another computer to test with? [10:04] Loshki:thks, will check mine out. [10:04] hi, 10.04 amd64, trying to compile hsfmodem kernel module. which of the confusingly many kernel source packages do i have to install? [10:05] xs2ubuntu, I don't know anything about libmoon. If you don't get help., I can try after a dinner break. [10:05] Severian: Yeah, I am able to connect to wireless through my phone [10:05] Severian: So the network is working [10:05] hi all. how do i do a check disk and repair on my ntfs harddrive? i'm getting input/output error when i try to save things to it, and it's files are not showing up in os x [10:05] Severian :: ok tq. im waiting [10:06] kj1986, does that mean you are OK now? [10:07] godricbrutus someone said ntfstools i think like ntfsfix etc [10:07] godricbrutus, ntfs checks should be done in Windows. [10:07] can anyone help me understand my drive setup on this laptop please [10:07] <`blackmk4`linux> is it possible to connect to a headless ubuntu server through a usb to serial adapter [10:08] Severian: No, so I am able to access the wireless net using my cellphone, but am not able to access it in my laptop both with ethernet and wirelessly [10:08] Severian, i dont have windows installed [10:08] Fudgeness, sudo fdisk -l [10:08] Fudgeness, thanks [10:08] hey guys need a little help ubuntu noob here just installed ubuntu 2 days ago everything went great was having trouble getting higher res than 800x600 after scouring the forums i solved it by editing xorg.conf now i could go in and select whatever res i want but everytime i reboot i revert back to 800x600 and have to keep going into settings and setting my res again how do i make the res selection stick [10:09] anyone can show me how do i setting up the buttons for "Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser" mouse? [10:09] unless my disk is fine, and this stuff is happening for some other reason [10:09] godricbrutus, The ntfs tools in Linux are good for reading and if you are daring, a little writing. They are not up to extensive ntfs work. Microsoft keeps the details of NTFS secret. [10:10] Severian: godricbrutus: The ntfs drivers are perfect good and safe for writing. The only thing missing is repair of ntfs. [10:10] Jordan_U, thanks [10:11] godricbrutus: You're welcome. [10:11] kj1986, so it seems you have confirmed that your networking problem is not on the Ubuntu machine. It is likely at the next step on the network. A router/nat perhaps. I don't know your network. [10:11] Jordan_U, am i getting input/output error because my disk is bad? [10:11] Jordan_U, what about the fact that os x stopped seeing the files on the disk? [10:11] son of a gun, after working days on my system getting the monitors to work, now i cant even boot into recovery mode =/ [10:11] just get blank screens [10:12] Jordan_U, That is your opinion. I do not agree. The current Linux NTFS drivers are not stable enough for me. [10:12] Severian: I think kj1986 means to say that his wireless/wired network is working ... he;'s not able to access it from his ubuntu box. [10:12] hey guys need a little help ubuntu noob here just installed ubuntu 2 days ago everything went great was having trouble getting higher res than 800x600 after scouring the forums i solved it by editing xorg.conf now i could go in and select whatever res i want but everytime i reboot i revert back to 800x600 and have to keep going into settings and setting my res again how do i make the res selection stick [10:12] Severian i have four partitions on sda 1 says id 27 2 and 3 are hpfs and sda3 starts where sda2 ends and sda4 is a compaq diagnostics [10:12] Severian: Actually I was thinking that my problem is somewhere on the ubuntu machine only as I am not able to access the internet using that machine only, When I use my phone, I am able to access the net. [10:12] godricbrutus: System > Administration > Disk Utility should tell you if the hardware is bad. If the hardware is good then you should somehow get a windows install to run chkdsk with. [10:13] Severian: So some setting is preventing me access the net from my machine [10:13] Severian: How so? [10:13] m_anish: thanks [10:13] Severian its sda3 that i cant mount how ever [10:13] says disk is healthy [10:13] godricbrutus, iirc you can run chkdsk on a disk from the windows xp cd without installing [10:14] i really dont want to buy windows for this [10:14] <`blackmk4`linux> is it possible to connect to a headless server over serial port [10:14] perhaps if your console is marked to use serial you can [10:14] dancek, ahhh, yes... i will use the windows 7 disk in my wife's room. i dont need to install to run it [10:14] dancek, thanks [10:14] gonna re-boot now. thanks all [10:15] godricbrutus, i don't know if it's possible on windows 7 [10:15] I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and my sound mysteriously stops working from time to time (no output in dmesg, /var/log/* etc). It seems to happen after the system goes to screensaver (blank), and locks. I'm thinking it might be an APM issue, how do I get it restarted? [10:15] kj1986, maybe. That is not what you described. If you can talk to the internet over the cell phone, then your tcpip stack is working. You say both wired and wireless went offline at once. That does not sound like an Ubuntu error. Check your cable from the Ubuntu box. What is it plugged into? [10:15] godricbrutus, but go ahead and try :) [10:15] Greetings everyone. [10:15] How do I install Adobe Acrobat Reader? I get an error in the Sources List [10:16] hey guys need a little help ubuntu noob here just installed ubuntu 2 days ago everything went great was having trouble getting higher res than 800x600 after scouring the forums i solved it by editing xorg.conf now i could go in and select whatever res i want but everytime i reboot i revert back to 800x600 and have to keep going into settings and setting my res again how do i make the res selection stick [10:16] <`blackmk4`linux> system [10:16] <`blackmk4`linux> did you leave all of the smaller res options in the config [10:16] Exact error message> E: Malformed line 51 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) [10:16] E: The list of sources could not be read [10:16] <`blackmk4`linux> like 640x480 800x600 etc [10:16] <`blackmk4`linux> or did you just leave your highest in [10:16] On my USB pendrive there are 2 special directories /media/ACER/.Trash-1000/files and /media/ACER/.Trash-1000/info. How to properly delete their contents? [10:17] is there a way to find out why a package was "kept back". I dont understand why it wont allow me to upgrade to the newest kernels [10:17] yeah i just added what was required will i take out anything smaller than 1080x1024 [10:17] <`blackmk4`linux> mac, you have to do apt-get dist-upgrade [10:17] <`blackmk4`linux> yes, system [10:17] kl thanks [10:17] <`blackmk4`linux> try it with just the one you want [10:17] Severian: I plugged the one end of ethernet cable into my laptop and the other in my router [10:18] kj1986, Do you see a light go on on the router when the cable is plugged in? [10:18] hi... how can I check whether MLT is compiled with support for VDPAU in ubuntu lucid? [10:19] how soon does ubuntu normally have kernel updates available after they are released? i know we have the mainline opiton, but i would prefer to stay away from those [10:19] black [10:19] <`blackmk4`linux> yea [10:19] sorry was wrong i didnt leave those in [10:19] Option "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0" [10:19] SubSection "Display" [10:19] thats all thats under anything to do with res [10:19] I guessed I figured out what's wrong. Thanks. [10:19] Bye [10:19] yet i have many selections in nvidea settings [10:19] I'm using the mainline 2.6.34, the stock kernel breaks X every second suspend [10:20] kj1986, I guess you are gone. I am going to go eat dinner [10:20] lol [10:20] <`blackmk4`linux> is there anything when you grep the xorg.conf for 800x600 [10:20] Severian: Yes, it's showing that light in my laptop also [10:20] quiescens: im starting to feel that way as well [10:20] though i know nothing about installing kernels that way and im afraid im going to miss modules that i need [10:20] i think i remember reading somewhere about editing a file cant remember which though it had home in the directory apparently in there i could set the default resolutuion [10:21] cant for life of me find the forum again [10:21] <`blackmk4`linux> heh [10:21] hi to all [10:21] I've got a webcam with integrated microphone.

[12:15] Ek|mu5: sure I'm familiar, but what I'm looking for are known "gotcha"s that might have occurred during the upgrade [12:15] yes lucid is noticably faster booting and shutting down [12:15] Ademan: right, something's wrong. I would get a bootchart and analyze it to find the culprit [12:15] ubottu this is a very long and complicated proces...pls tell some easy process [12:15] gdm restart will restart the X-Windows session effecively [12:15] jrib: good call [12:15] hi all, pls id like to setup drupal, i need help on tht...btw, im a noob [12:16] sinux, There are a couple of places that have settings that affect that.

[12:23] jrib: yes but i wouldnt go every time to filemanager and refresh [12:23] vikas: get your os x disk, put it in your drive, reboot and boot from the disk, follow instructions [12:23] jrib: i do all with a shellscript [12:24] baers: this is making little sense to me [12:24] K-19: true, it's very flexible though [12:24] I have an atheros based wirless card yet does not come up on ifconfig neither does eth0 ..

[12:25] vikas: ##mac for help with mac [12:25] !iso | remoteCTRL1 [12:25] remoteCTRL1: 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. [12:25] remoteCTRL1: mount -t iso9660 -loop [12:25] baers, Gnome has that feature and has had it for a couple of years. When a file is put into the Desktop directory, a file notification event happens and the display is updated. If yours does not do that, you has changed a setting. [12:25] baers: well you just said your desktop is being displayed now [12:25] whoops forgot the o [12:26] jrib: Ek|mu5: nice, thanks guys! [12:26] Severian: where can i check it? [12:27] remoteCTRL1: no prob [12:27] I'd start looking in google. I tested the feature in a couple of versions of Ubuntu before I told you. You are running Gnome, and not fluxbox or some other desktop, aren't you? [12:28] bonhoffer : http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5507 [12:29] K-19: thanks [12:29] * jellow checked bios Wlan0 was disabled , Fixed now [12:30] please help to share my internet conn over th ad hoc [12:30] bonhoffer: good luck with that :) [12:31] Severian, every thing you mentioned is in default nothing has been changed [12:31] jrib: again. I think you didnt unterstand me (because my bad english? :D). If i write rm -rf /home/username/* in the console, all files are deleted. than: cp /thebackupfolder/ /home/username/ and ls /home/username/Desktop/ show all files. but the gnome desktop didnt do it. I have all there, gnome works well. I have the menu the backgroundimage etc. but the files arent there. [12:31] sinux cud u please help me [12:31] aks_, ok \ [12:32] baers: but they show up if you hit the reload button in nautilus at the desktop or something? [12:32] ask_ : ad hoc ?? [12:32] hello? [12:32] sinux im not able to share my internet connection over the ad hoc in ubuntu 10.04 [12:32] jrib: yes. right [12:32] am I in a room? [12:32] xiaoxinchen: yes [12:32] and now i think: gnome need a refresh too [12:32] !manual > vikas [12:32] vikas, please see my private message [12:32] as a restart [12:32] xiaoxinchen: how can we help you? [12:33] mmmmm [12:33] Wow!I am first to use xchat [12:33] vikas: the manual that ubottu linked you to and http://help.ubuntu.com are great resources for getting started [12:34] What do you talk about? [12:34] xiaoxinchen: this is a ubuntu support channel. [12:34] xiaoxinchen: on telepathy I take it [12:34] jrib: and now, i search a command to resfresh the gnome-desktop. but i am not root (cant do something with sudo) [12:34] xiaoxinchen: chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic or other channels [12:34] xiaoxinchen: you can "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" for general chat [12:34] aks_, do you get any error messages when you do that [12:35] baers: it's probably sufficient to restart nautilus? There should also be a nicer way [12:35] sinux no [12:36] the other nod doesn't get any Internet is it? [12:36] jrib: but i wouldnt go every time to nautilus in /home/usr/Desktop and refresh it. Or has nautilus a shell command to refresh a path, too? [12:37] the grub menu is not being displayed....how do I make it apear? [12:37] m_tadeu: try ESC [12:37] jrib: i do this del ~ and cp every login :) [12:37] baers: I suggested you restart nautilus, but I assume there is some way to accomplish "refreshing" without restarting nautilus too. Why do you do that? [12:37] justme`: thx [12:38] sinux u dere [12:38] aks_, wht === kev is now known as Guest83932 [12:39] sinux please help me [12:39] i just install opera and wanna make it as defolt [12:39] I want to install DSL to my pendrive and boot from there. Can this be done using syslinux? I've gota tutorial in front of me but I just want to know if the the thing will be bootable or I'll only get to run it inside another OS [12:39] Guest83932: you'll need to make USB bootable via your BIOS [12:40] justme`: didn't work [12:40] aks_, well ad hoc is little out of my league so I suggest u post your problem in full detail in the forum sorry I can't be much help ask [12:40] Hi all; Any ideas on how to work with an UMTS stick (vodafone) without nm-applet? I'm not able to use nm-applet because I have no tray (I'm running XMonad and want to keep my screen clean). [12:40] ask_ : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html [12:40] justme`, You mean set the boot priority to removable media, right? But the OS will boot from pendrive only if it has some bootloader, right? And syslinux is a bootloader? [12:40] klass111: Use Gnome-ppp [12:41] how do I configure grub to display the menu? [12:41] rocket: thx, will try [12:41] jrib: i find the same problem: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/gnome-desktop-doesnt-refresh-automatically-564599/ :DD [12:41] klaas111: Sure, my pleasure, :D [12:41] baers: that's a really old post [12:41] m_tadeu_: cat /etc/boot/menu.lst should show a comment stating the key [12:42] jrib: but f5 works :) [12:42] baers: presumably, your desktop works fine when you don't delete your home directory. You never answered my question about why you are doing this, or did I miss it? [12:42] Guest83932: yeah your BIOS has to be able to boot USB pen drives, if you have the USB image it should run like a CD/DVD [12:42] justme`: that file doesn't exist [12:43] yo yo yo [12:43] jrib: my kids do a lot of trash in the home/ i would reset it after every logout [12:43] does anyone know how to disable upstart jobs so that they can still be started manually? https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/94065 suggests the functionality is there [12:43] baers: you do know about the guest account? [12:43] yes [12:43] justme`, Oh yes. Let me try it anyway. Syslinux makes things boot from pendrive. That's all I really need to know. [12:43] baers: why don't you just use that? [12:44] (since it does exactly what you are trying to hack together) [12:44] m_tadeu_: ls /etc/default/grub/ you want the menu list [12:44] jrib: because the guest didnt start automatically. and i have ssh and other thinks under this account [12:45] hello, does anyone know how you would add a folder as a favorite in UNE 10.04? [12:45] dewman: it obeys the nautilus favourites [12:45] baers: wait, your kids use the same account you do? [12:45] brb [12:45] dewman: drag the folder to the left pane in nautilus [12:45] jrib: yes. but its okay. dont say something other :) [12:46] hi. I have lucid. I want to install the 'foomatic-gui' packet from synaptic but it won't install it. It says that it depends by the 'python-gtkhtml2' packet and that packet is not installable. i checked for that packet (python-gtkhtml2) in synaptic and in the internet archive of ubuntu and it looks like there is no such packet on lucid. On the ubuntu site, i found that packet for karmic but not for lucid [12:46] when installing ubuntu you have the option of encrypting your home folder.. is it possible to activate this afterwards? and/or select something else you want to encrypt?= [12:46] baers: seems like it would be easier to just give them the guest account to play in. Or just give them their own accounts, that way they can do whatever they want [12:46] hmm [12:46] jrib: theres also auditing of activity so you can point fingers ;) [12:47] !ubottu apache [12:47] why there is no 'python-gtkhtml2' packet for lucid? [12:48] having issues setting up apache2 [12:48] how do i remove sendmail [12:48] keep getting a 403 error when logging in [12:48] sudo apt-get remove sendmail didn't work [12:48] riktking: while you can get help with that here, you may have a little better luck in #ubuntu-server [12:48] bonhoffer: Try removing that package in Synaptic. [12:49] i am on a ssh shell [12:49] raffaele, http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/foomatic-gui [12:49] B4 10.04 it was required to get "non free" drivers for nvidia video cards whauch was made simple through the menus. That same menu selection no longer states that any drivers are required. I haven't seen anything about nvidia open sourcing their drivers. So what is going on in 10.04? [12:49] rocket16: can't i do that from apt-get remove [12:50] raffaele: seems like it's unmaintained (see the bugs on launchpad and debian's bug tracker) [12:50] Heya all...I have been having an annoying problem under 10.04 on a normal desktop. I use a Logitech USB headset and periodically, under different apps, the sound system seems to lock up; things like VLC will stop in the middle of playing, no navigation and the like. Any ideas? [12:50] bonhoffer: Certainly, but in certain cases, extra packages are related to that, which are also to be removed. So, you need to remove those packages too, along with sendmail from Snaptic. Synaptic will ask you automatically about those packages. [12:50] jussi, thanks [12:51] temp: I always personally use: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 works perfectly on my onboard 6150 [12:51] Hi all [12:51] Zeek_: Did you update the System? [12:51] i have a question [12:51] !ask | SweetWerraIsBack [12:51] SweetWerraIsBack: 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. :-) [12:52] SweetWerraIsBack, i might not have your answer. [12:52] rocket16, mhm, it was a shiney new install with the update performed [12:52] !hi | SweetWerraIsBack [12:52] SweetWerraIsBack: 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! [12:52] i got cdrom image off 10.04 and i roll on 9.10 . what i want to do is to update my 9.10 to 10.04 with a cd rom image [12:52] Zeek_: I see. Are you using ALSA Drivers, or PulseAudio or OSS? [12:53] SweetWerraIsBack: you need the altenate ISO then [12:54] rocket16, I would assume the default for 10.04. I do see alsa-util entries in /var/log/syslog [12:54] SweetWerraIsBack: ActionParsnip is right. Or, you can upgrade via Internet directly. But a clean install is always welcome, after backing up the Home folder, :) [12:54] I'm trying to set up a Mobile Broadband connection w/ gnome-ppp; any idea on where I can find the correct phone nr? [12:55] raffaele: you should file a bug if one doesn't already exist against foomatic-gui at bugs.ubuntu.com [12:55] rocket16, I also see pulseaudio entries (ratelimit events suppressed). Just odd with it being USB and all; headser does work too, at least under ThatOtherOS. [12:55] thx rocket :) [12:55] SweetWerraIsBack: My pleasure, my friend, :) [12:56] Zeek_: I see, I do think, it might be bug. This might help a little: http://www.hamrobrt.com/solved-lucid-lynx-sound-problem-solved-in-ubuntu-10-04/ [12:56] ActionParsnip, i have moved the folder over to the left, but what I would like is to have the folder appear in the Favorites on the desktop. The only that that shows right now is the stock items, firefox,evolution,cheese,etc... Does that make sense? [12:57] I got the weirdest netwroking problem [12:57] if i ssh into my lucid box [12:57] and do apt-get commands [12:57] it resolves internet addresses [12:57] if i do it directly on the box [12:57] it cannot resolve nor ping any external addresses [12:57] rocket16, ok I will give it a look [12:57] whats up with that? [12:57] dewman: oic, er you could make a script to launch nautilus and open a folder, make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications to launch it, then add it as a favourite [12:58] Zeek_: Sure, :) My pleasure [12:58] msd: ease up on the enter key dude, you can type long lines like this and not only is it easier to read you don't scroll the channel like crazy === max is now known as Guest18776 [12:59] msd : ??

Is there any way to find out what nm-applett does automatically so I can mimick that? [13:02] most important, how do i set my offset? [13:02] or is there any way to run nm-applet or something similar without the tray? [13:02] bonhoffer : Kill it.

AOL is supposed to be imap even though it did retrieve the mail [14:07] baers, yes I know, I already done so, as I said, it works, *after* login, and I open a console... [14:07] it just does not work when put into .profile [14:08] I will try your version.. btw, will .profile gets executed when logoff/logon? or it only get called when boot?

I don't know why it would do that. [14:11] jrib: correct, the cronjob finds the one at /usr/bin/svn , I want it to use the one at /usr/local/bin/svn, why does it not?

[14:12] jrib: why isn't the env the same?! [14:12] IdleOne, what was funny is when I first set it up it showed seperate accounts.

[14:13] jrib: same user, why does it make a different whether it's cron running that job as the user, or the user typing in a shell? [14:13] chrisw1: when you login differet things happen than when cron runs a job, that's all there is to it. Set PATH to whatever you want in your crontab or see my easy solution above [14:13] Ace2: maybe evoultion sees both pop accounts and assumes they are one, could be a bug [14:13] My wireless says its hard blocked its a BCM4311 [14:14] Idle0ne: It seems that you can help me... my synaptic doesn't work, "Could not download all repository indexes". why's that?

Write a for loop, or better yet just explain why you want to do this. Our heads won't explode and there may be a better way [15:26] any reason for this?

[15:36] jrib: so I'll just spin all those files through a loop doing that, then I can begin my crazy real tests on the origs knowing I have backups I can easily change back should I mess them up...that was my whole reason for doing so (and yes, I know I could have just cp'd them out to another dir, but I wanted them side by side for quick comparisons) ;) [15:36] the noise isn't constant, it appears sometimes and then goes away [15:36] seems like a driver problem [15:37] I have a friend who was having issues w/ his network card in Lucid. Supposedly, not just slow network, but nonfunctioning network [15:37] DrGrov: are you going to be using kde or gnome? display manager sould match the desktop [15:37] breakzz: instead of editing the grub.cfg directly just use « sudo update-grub » [15:37] here is the odd thing, it was working great at first [15:37] it only stopped working recently. [15:37] pat5star: I knew it was a silly reason, but as you wish :P [15:37] scunizi, ok. debconf asks me now after installing kubuntu-desktop which one I should use. GDM or KDM. [15:37] soooo. is there any recent change that might have been pushed that might have broken his network? [15:37] DrGrov: ultimately that shouldn't matter from a functionality POV. so yes, it should match the default desktop [15:37] 00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) <- his card [15:37] oh ok erUSUL, is it possible for me to boot up a livecd then use that command or will it just install it on the livecd and not the harddrive? [15:37] or do I have to reinstall ubuntu from scratch? [15:38] jrib: lol, of course it was silly, and very lazy...but as soon as I realized I couldn't do it, I spent way too much time trying to do it the lazy way lol [15:38] hello, i've an integrated graphical card (intel corpo 82852/855GM). There's a black screen after xubuntu's logo [15:38] I have an intel wifi on this machine where I see the disconnects [15:38] kahen, ok. I will just try KDE to see what I think about it. So I should keep GDM and test KDE and then switch back to GNOME? [15:38] breakzz: you can do with a livecd if you chroot to it i guess.... but you can allways boot the default ubuntu kernel; can't you ? [15:38] V-ille, seems that yours is another problem coz im still able to do everything localy (wifi is connected all the time) during the time when internetconnection freezes [15:38] Robertf: can you switch to terminal using alt-f1/ctrl-alt-f1 ? [15:38] erUSUL no I cant.. thats the problem.. when I reboot it jumps straight to the kernel panic [15:38] Robertf: do you have an /etc/X/xorg.conf file?4 [15:38] nemo: no.. [15:38] pharm_: yeah, probably somewhat different problems, but still very close relatives, I imagine :) [15:39] breakzz: the ubuntu kernel panics too ? or just your hand compiled kernel ? [15:39] V-ille, although i tried setting wifi manually without network-manager (maybe that helps you, didnt for me) [15:39] my wifi sometimes disconnects and I've only managed to get it to come back up by rebooting [15:39] are you connecting through networkmanager? [15:40] I'd really prefer network-manager, I sometimes need to travel with this machine and automagic wifi would be nice [15:40] yeah, I use networkmanager [15:40] erUSUL No I can boot ubuntu after installation, it works as it should, its after when I recompile & reboot it gets kernel panic [15:40] does anyone know why gdesklets would not work, the gui posp up on screen then immediately disappears?? [15:40] Hello, my problem is that the volume control applet located in panel does not work. It is default volume controller applet shipped with Ubuntu 9.10 and it was working fine before I installed gnome-alsa-mixer. However, although I will not use the default applet because gnome-alsa-mixer is better but wish to know how to recover the default applet's function. Thanks. [15:40] breakzz: all kernels panic? yours and ubuntu's ? [15:40] pat5star: may i boot in safe mode because i don't say if i've a xorg.conf file [15:41] breakzz: even in recovery mode ? [15:41] erUSUL so far, atleast when Ive tried to recompile [15:41] I cannot connect to msn from empathy, on ubuntu 10.04, anyone else? any idea? [15:41] @btr: Why don't you disable it and put an volume control applet on the dock? [15:41] cant use recovery, cant boot that far, after my computer starts, it jumps to bios, checking memory etc, like it should, then right after I get kernel panic [15:41] so theres no option [15:41] breakzz: bery weird if compiling your own kernel affects the other ones ... [15:42] breakzz: very weird if compiling your own kernel affects the other ones ... [15:42] Robertf: I saw your reply to nemo, you should be able to switch to a console with ctrl-alt-F*, if not, you may have other problems than what I was thinkingn [15:42] Lagan: it was disabled automatically. asa soon as i installed gnome-alsa-mixer. [15:42] asa -> as [15:42] yes I know erUSUL, there should be like a option what kernel I want to load [15:42] but there isnt [15:43] Im not sure if theres some option in bios that affects this problem? [15:43] ok, i THINK i fixed my problem with SML/NJ. manually symlinking the mlton files into the smlnj directory fixed the problem [15:43] it's ugly as sin, but it works [15:43] V-ille, i see, you might test if its networkmanagers problem [15:43] btr: And you can't re-place it on the panel? [15:43] pat5star: i've the same problem with slackware 13.0 :-) [15:43] breakzz: press shift during boot to make grub show you the menu [15:43] <[0]Aazoris> is this the right syntax to download only the packages & no install >> apt-get -d update [15:43] how will i know how much the partition size should be? [15:43] Ok I´ll try that erUSUL brb [15:43] hi, I need to stop squid, but /etc/init.d/squid stop tells to use services squid stop, but it says that can 't find squid... [15:43] Lagan: I'm trying .. [15:43] any idea? squid is running [15:44] Robertf: ugh! I have the same video card as you, all I had to do was remove xorg.conf, restart, and everything was good....that's all I was going to suggest [15:44] quit [15:44] (stop: unknown instance) [15:44] Could you confirm that when scripts placed in the /scripts/local-top/ directory under initramfs are called, udev is fully populated? From my tests, it's wrong, but I don't know how to wait until udev has finished being populated [15:44] V-ille, there is also wicd (gui network manager) plus there are ways to switch to prefered networks through configscripts [15:44] pharm_: yeah.. I guess I'll have to stop network-manager service the next time it barfs and do the iwconfig dance manually [15:44] Lagan: it has no menu to remove [15:44] I thought daikin did air conditioners! [15:45] I used to need to do that on my other laptop, a T61, but 9.10 fixed that === eguest039_ is now known as eguest039 [15:45] Lagan: it is not applet.... mmm :/ [15:45] pat5star: ok.. i'll try it [15:45] markit: maybe it's services squidd stop? [15:45] now 10.04 seems to have caused unstability on my T60 [15:45] btr: Have you looked into System>Administration>Boot-Up-Manager ; and try to set it as ready-on-boot [15:45] i want to repartition to open up more free space for ubuntu [15:45] V-ille, yeah just to try if its networkmanagers problem, if you dont succeed just forget about it [15:45] pharm_: well, I'd like it to get fixed if there's a bug somewhere :) [15:46] Lagan: okay [15:46] <[0]Aazoris> how do I show multi lines here [15:46] [0]Aazoris: paste.ubuntu.com [15:46] V-ille, i considered to buy a new networkinterface since all other pcs in this network have no problems [15:46] its really strange, when i do: $ip tunnel add wccp0 mode gre remote 192.168.30.1 local 192.168.30.5 dev eth0 i get no such interface, any ideas? [15:46] pat5star: i'm in rescue mode. There is not xorg.conf file [15:46] btr: tell me if it works [15:47] erUSUL still no menu, jumps straight to kernel panic [15:47] Lagan: okay ;) [15:48] Lagan: there is no Boot-Up-Manager in the menu. [15:48] i use ubuntu 9.10 [15:48] Hi to all, Question: With the new ubuntu we have the software center, in the old version we had add\remove, with add\remove we were able to ordinate all software for popularity. This function was very nice, expecially when I had to install software i didn't know. How i can do now to understand what software wort install without install and try all different package? [15:49] Robertf: silly question, but have you tried: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [15:49] s === leo_ is now known as jiji [15:49] Friends, does 10.04 have driver updates, compared to 9.10? I am asking, because 9.10 did not support Open GL on my Laptop, but 10.04 is so efficient in Open GL. [15:49] no boot-up-manager in System>Administration [15:49] rocket16, certainly does [15:49] ?? [15:49] pat5star: no. i did X -configure and copy the file to /etc/X11 [15:50] Lagan: yes [15:50] xbox 360 question.. what format does my EX HDD need to be so that i can view it and play AVI files from my HDD ? .. need to format it in linux [15:50] bazhang: Ah, thanks friend. I too, suspected the same. I hope to find a way to make the same in 9.10 too, since many of my friends still use 9.10. :) Thanks a lot, for your gracious help, friend. :) [15:50] ubantards [15:51] how long will it take to defrag my computer? [15:51] Robertf: I'm sorry dude, I got nothing else for you...if I were you this is where I break out google or hope some video driver/X wizard guru is hanging out here and in a generous mood :) [15:51] jungli, that is not welcome here [15:51] VirusTB, i bet it is fat32~ [15:51] <[0]Aazoris> ok when i do " apt-get -d update " this is my outcome >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/437366/plain/ [15:51] rocket16, no problem :) [15:51] am i invisible?

I'm using a Belkin Wireless router on my PC, which was working fine in my Windows installation, but on my new 10.04 installation, the internet is extremely slow... does anyone have any suggestions as how to solve the speed problem?

[15:54] HDBanger, did you try running gdesklets from the command line? Some of that output may be helpful. [15:55] ubnuntu_giant: no i havent [15:55] sungji: vlc's trying to save you from a really bad movie ;) [15:55] HDBanger, That's usually the first thing I do if it a program doesn't run. :) === Fahad__ is now known as iDope [15:56] pat5star, I've got the same problem with any other dvd. also, T2 is a great movie, according to rottentomatoes ;) [15:56] sungji: you check your logs? /var/log/vlc/* [15:56] hang on a sec [15:56] ubnuntu_giant: it says could not import tiling module [15:56] hi everyone...

[15:57] Hm...Not sure about the tiling module...Sounds pythony... :P [15:57] ubununtu_giant: I've come the other way! [15:57] pharm_: oh noes, "Starting Network connection manager wicd [fail]" [15:57] sungji: um, you'll have to look in your vlc prefs to see where it stores logs [15:57] HDBanger: Hm...Not sure about the tiling module...Sounds pythony... :P === coolcat is now known as Guest85790 [15:57] pat5star, alright, I'll do that... [15:58] ubnuntu_giant: after that it said cannot establish connection to daemon [15:58] ubnuntu_giant: that's a good one, or you can try "on windows it works so much better..." or something to that effect ;) [15:58] is there anything I can do to get my nautilus to display a large folder faster I have a huge directory with a ton of png files in it and it takes forever to load [15:58] Friends, is there a good software for managing Samsung SGH-J600 Phones in Ubuntu?

[16:00] helo rokect [16:00] pharm_: nothing, although I didn't disable networkmanager before trying to launch wicd [16:00] donavan01: I have a dir like that too, never been able to speed it up unless you throw more hardware at it I suppose [16:00] V-ille, there you go ;) [16:00] edbian_ your leaving yourself open to middleman attack [16:00] pat5star, hm... i get a couple of libdvdread error messages like this: libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_05_0.VOB (0x00abcdef) [16:00] pat5star: apt-get install xorg [16:01] edbian_: anyone could see your chat logs, and inject you viruses, remotely control your router.... spy what you see... [16:01] heloo! [16:01] pharm_: hmm.. I did sudo service wicd start and it started fine [16:01] linux [16:01] i use MAC filtering [16:01] pat5star, and also this: libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in /build/buildd/libdvdread-4.1.3/src/ifo_read.c:1704 === Breaker- is now known as breakzz [16:01] and I still haven't disabled networkmanager :) [16:01] rather than encryption [16:01] edbian_: also, if you keep the wifi network open, anyone could easily make a DoS [16:01] I cant install python 2.6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!11 [16:01] HDBanger, It says to check the log files...I'm doing that now...fun learning experience for me. :) [16:01] pat5star: do you have a website withe this problem reported [16:01] Monotoko: i can emulate MACs easily [16:01] hell [16:01] pat5star ... thanks ... well aside from a raid array and cant think of anything hardware wise that would speed it up for my I normally get pretty quick read/write times [16:01] welcome [16:01] ubnuntu_giant: cool, ill be here :P [16:01] Beyecixramd, its also a hidden SSID [16:01] helo rokect [16:01] why i see my chipset of my driver unknown? [16:01] ubnuntu_giant: im sure ur smarter than me [16:01] Monotoko: i only need your mac (sniffing) and i can get into your router and kick you out [16:02] V-ille: I did that after this upgrade too, this is the first time I've seen ubuntu allow both to be installed, before it would always uninstall one of you were installing the other. To correct it, I had to uninstall wicd or they were both running at same time [16:02] Is xorg.conf deprecated? Is it still the correct way to add a device? [16:02] V-ille, i bet those to are going to fight each other ;) [16:02] Monotoko: so? even with a hidden SSID, it's still hackeable [16:02] *two [16:02] hi everyone... I'm using a Belkin Wireless router on my PC, which was working fine in my Windows installation, but on my new 10.04 installation, my internet connection is extremely slow... why would this be, and can anyone suggest how to solve the problem? [16:02] ????? [16:02] Can I safely remove kubuntu-desktop now when I didn't like it without affecting the GNOME part? [16:02] Beyecixramd, My router has a very secure password. What chat logs are you talking about? How can someone "inject" are virus? What does that mean? [16:02] DrGrov: yes [16:02] Hello. I'm stuck trying to get my fan control to work...I know I need to come up with a fancontrol config file, but I'm having trouble getting going on that. Any help? Thanks.

Removing then :) Thanks [16:02] !puregnome | DrGrov [16:02] DrGrov: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [16:02] !puregnome | DrGrov [16:02] damn323, sid is #debian not here [16:03] my windows 7 is coming on as vista and when i load it im loading to some kind of HEWLITT Packard system recovery crap how do i fix this?

[16:03] DrGrov: nope [16:03] er yes true sorry [16:03] brb...battery dying...gotta go find a plug [16:03] edbian_: all routers can be bruteforced. Injecting a virus means anyone can insert a virus into *something* either actively, entering your pc, or passively, like when you download a file, they could replace the code with a virus [16:03] I've Googled and looked all over the Ubuntu website. What is the RAM limitation for 64-bit desktop Ubuntu 10.04? [16:03] IdleOne, ok. I will type that into a terminal now then [16:03] Monotoko, hidden SSID is a good idea but the reason I have my network open is for the convience of my parents. They want it to be stupid simple!

[16:08] Izyum: libnotify is installed by default. [16:08] youtube plays sound just fine [16:09] IdleOne, I was just scared to lose my settings in GNOME [16:09] dnivra: so your ppoe connection fails? [16:09] Izyum: use Synaptic and search for "pidgin" or "libnotify" [16:09] blankhead ... might be an issue with the orginal partition that windows in installed (that is if you trying to pull music from there ) [16:09] Krishnandu, lamp instead of xampp [16:09] bbabl [16:09] donavan81 no its on ubuntu partition [16:09] Beyecixramd: I have tar.gz now, but how to install it? [16:09] V-ille: yeah in the sense that it connects to a private connection after that yes: i get an IP 192.168.1.2 thanks to my modem. [16:09] Krishnandu: sudo tasksel install lamp-server [16:09] Okies...But I don't have any idea...what should I use in sudo apt-get install ?? [16:09] DrGrov: you should be fine now. you may still see some odd behavior like the kubuntu splash but those can be fixed when they come up [16:10] Okies..!! [16:10] Izyum: no no.... install i9t from the add/remove program... [16:10] Thanx [16:10] blankhead ... then im at a loss man sorry ... might trying downloading something else to the HD and see if it does the same thing [16:10] Beyecixramd: wait pidgin libnotify is installed by default isn't it? [16:10] V-ille: any leads? [16:10] ill just do it the hard way and google the solution [16:10] I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand; have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 three (3) times on my server and on finishing the installation I remove the CD and on boot up get the following notices : error out of disk and get the grup prompt. Does anyone know a solution for this issue? [16:11] dnivra: .... no idea... but pidgin isn't installed by default so i guess not... [16:11] dnivra: other connections through the same modem work? [16:11] blankhead..... dont you hate when you have to do that [16:11] Beyecixramd: but well if you install pidgin, the package gets pulled too. [16:11] hi, I've just encountered some source code with a cmake instead of a configure.sh, can anybody tell me what I have to do to configure? [16:11] V-ille: I am using the same modem on windoze [16:11] windows* [16:11] lol yup [16:11] V-ille: right now I am on windows [16:11] Hey guys what is mysql-client?? [16:11] V-ille: (sadly) [16:11] dnivra: no idea about that, then [16:11] whats the diff b/w mysql-server and mysql-client?? [16:12] !info mysql-client | Krishnandu [16:12] Krishnandu: mysql-client (source: mysql-dfsg-5.1): MySQL database client (metapackage depending on the latest version). In component main, is optional.

[16:12] pat5star: no, the name of the service is squid (and in any case, squidd produces the same error), and yes, I'm sudoing [16:12] dnivra: it's been a while since I last used pppoe, so no idea about its current status. All I can suggest is looking at the logs if the pppoe network scripts complain about something. [16:12] how do i change my "windows key" from Mod4 to Super L, i'm having problems with setting keyboard shortcuts [16:13] how do you kill an app that grabs the mouse pointer and keeps it in the window? [16:13] V-ille: logs of nm? or ppp daemon? [16:13] dnivra: I run pidgin, I believe the plugin needs to be enabled in your Buddy List window>options>plugins [16:13] dnivra: I think the ppp daemon would be more useful === OerHeks is now known as Oer [16:13] outer_space1: the right ctrl key? [16:13] dnivra: nm probably thinks everything's fine :) [16:13] hi [16:13] are you kidding? my keyboard doenst have a right-ctrl [16:13] GeekSquid: but not installed. it is by default enabled too cos it starts working right away.

[16:15] kasr: right click on panel, properties, in that window there should be a lock checkbox [16:15] V-ille: actually when I use pppoeconf it says "plugin compiled successfully" but doesn't connect. I know you don't have much of a clue like you already said. just saying though; it just doesn't connect to the DSL provider :(.

The config setup in 10.04 pastebinit version (1.1-1) is slightly different [16:46] where do you set the time for locking the screen / turning down the monitor? I've looked in System->Preferences->Power Management, and the setting are fine there. I don't want my screen to keep locking every 5 minutes. I have a long running graphical process that i want to keep an eye on. [16:47] hi, how do I tell Ubuntu to just NOT try to find some drivers for a printer every time I plug it in the USB port? There is no available driver for a Canon IP2200, and I must use VirtualBox to print things, but every time VBox is running (WinXP) and I plug the printer, Ubuntu STILL wants to find the driver, 3 windows pops up, but naturally doesn't find anything. This is annoying [16:47] tommythagun: Error Transferring Track: error creating directory: permission denied [16:47] when i installed ubuntu my sound worked... is there any way to make it detect / setup sound again after you are done installing? [16:47] underdev: same place, except, Screensaver [16:47] underdev: you can change the parameters from screen saver at the same path [16:47] oCean_: there should be a patch thu [16:47] or am i going to have to re-install ubuntu? [16:47] firefly media server has disappered, is it still in the repos? [16:47] rebooting is not fixing the sound as it would in windows [16:48] oic, thank you! [16:48] yanick_: no way around that.. ubuntu is the first thing that needs to recognize a new usb device before it's passed to a VM [16:48] underdev: you're welcome [16:48] alsaconf from terminal [16:48] i have 3 folders shared on 1 ubuntu box that i am trying to access via another ubuntu box. 2 work fine, for the 3rd i get canonicalize_connect_path failed for service error. it was working before and i don't remember changing anything - why has it stopped working? (using samba). [16:48] capntripps, do you know who owns the files you are transfering? [16:48] i do... [16:48] heh [16:48] resno, a daap server? [16:48] scunizi, sure, but what about the printer manager? I just want it to shut the f**k up and stop annoy me with finding a driver that does not exist? [16:48] so its a privacy / security thing?

[16:52] bazhang, what do you mean persistent? [16:52] ubuntu_, live only, then you dont [16:52] ubuntu_, persistent means changes are saved. [16:52] hector29: is that a piece of software i need to install, or are you saying i just need to modify grub configuration before booting? [16:52] nope, I would like to UPDATE my Live USB ubuntu 10.04 [16:52] sudo apt-get install build-essential for c/c++ right?? [16:52] if i install ubuntu will my AOL still work? [16:52] rab13s, sure?

Thnx [16:53] how to make a persistent usb???? [16:53] jungli, ask in #ubuntu-bots [16:53] ubuntu won't give VBox access to my printer which have no driver (in ubuntu, but does in VBox)! [16:53] how can i set a transparency for the applications menu?(start menu) [16:53] !usb > ubuntu_ [16:53] ubuntu_, please see my private message [16:53] okay [16:53] how can I tell Ubuntu to yield access to VBox???? [16:54] Guys...is there any way out by which I can backup all my installed packages?? So that if I ever had to re-install ubuntu I can install it from the CD only?? [16:54] is it possible to mount the filesystem from an external machine on the wireless network using SFTP? [16:54] yanick_: did you install the repo version of vbox? [16:54] scunizi, no, the restricted one [16:54] scunizi, my scanner works fine, because Ubuntu doesn't recognize it [16:54] yanick_: and are you in the vbox group? [16:54] !sshfs | frxstrem [16:54] frxstrem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [16:54] ah ok [16:54] Krishnandu, a clone? or simply a backup over time [16:55] scunizi: my AOL pro 3.5 edition [16:55] wildbat: thanks [16:55] scunizi, my scaner works fine, but when I plug the printer, ubuntu take control over it and won't let go [16:55] A clone would be much better. In that way I would also get my settings back [16:55] oCean_: ok, how do i apply that patch [16:55] scunizi, even if no driver exists for it [16:55] yanick_: perhaps by installing it with a driver that doesn't work so the system thinks that it's recognized and functional.. then vbox might be able to grab it [16:55] I just wanted a solution by which if I ever had to reinstall ubuntu then i need not to download the packages again. I can install it from CD/DVD [16:55] scunizi, I just want to print via VBox.... but the printer is grayed, and I know it's because Ubuntu won't let VBox access the device [16:56] Krishnandu, you could try clonezilla ; there is sbackup for more gradual backups [16:56] A clone would be much better. Then I would get my settings back too [16:56] scunizi, no, I tried that [16:56] Krishnandu, aptoncd then [16:56] Okies...!! Thanx [16:56] !aptoncd | Krishnandu [16:56] Krishnandu: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [16:56] yanick_: have you installed the printer drivers in the vbox guest? [16:56] /hubunt/// [16:56] .................................... I am dumb, don't know where to read [16:56] jungli, ?? [16:56] scunizi, yes, the scanner works FINE [16:56] yeah [16:56] How can I uninstall a package which is installed from tar.gz file.....make clean all and make uninstall are not working [16:56] mcl0vin: it also states that you could install the lucid version. (since it's no binary, just python) You could download the lucid version from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/pastebinit/download [16:56] !usb | ubuntu_ [16:56] ubuntu_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:57] yanick_: ah.. this is a combo machine.. I got the impression you had a seperate scanner [16:57] ubuntu_, the last one (about persistent) [16:57] Method 0 or Method 1 or ? [16:57] scunizi, no, it's not a combo machine [16:57] There are 4 methods [16:57] its my tunnel pointing nowhere? gre1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 0A-00-00-02-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 [16:57] which method is the right one???? [16:57] inet addr:10.0.0.2 P-t-P:10.0.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.252 [16:57] mcl0vin: (i'm not familiair with applying the debdiff) [16:57] i just restarted the server and it came back... [16:58] php -r 'echo "HOME: " . $_ENV["HOME"] . "\n";' gives a result of: PHP Notice: Undefined index: HOME in Command line code on line [16:58] bazhang, thanks!! [16:58] yanick_: then why do you keep bringing up the scanner.. I remember from the first time you mentioned it that it works [16:58] ubuntu_, the one that creates a persistent one [16:58] given an ip address on my lan how can I find out the hostname of that machine? [16:58] scunizi, I have a printer, an IP2200, and I have a scanner, a 4400F. Both devices, when plugged in are recognized by VBox, but only the scanner works; the printer is GRAYED [16:58] resno, fixed? [16:58] php -r 'echo "HOME: " . $_ENV["HOME"] . "\n";' gives a result of: "PHP Notice: Undefined index: HOME in Command line code on line". Any idea why? [16:58] pacific-blue, go to #php [16:58] bazhang: yea, the magically restart did it [16:58] wildbat: It's new in 10.04 so I'm thinking it's something with Ubuntu [16:59] how do i apply debdiff, please? [16:59] mcl0vin: aha - if you prefer to work with the patch, you could get the debdiff, and apply as described in this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/BuildFromDebdiff [16:59] yanick_: yea.. I got that.. have you tried using the vbox switch to disconnect the scanner and then look to see if the printer suddenly becomes available for connection [16:59] pacific-blue, var_dump($_ENV) and see what's set [16:59] how can i set a transparency for the applications menu?(start menu) [16:59] Ganang: do you use Compiz? [16:59] scunizi, yes, it doesn't [16:59] the last one you mean "Method 3: Copying the ISO CD image to the USB drive" ??? [17:00] Beyecixramd: yes [17:00] scunizi, I suspect that Ubuntu tries to use the printer, but can't and won't let it go [17:00] pacific-blue, coz there is no HOME env variable ~ then [17:00] ubuntu_, let me check it, hold on [17:00] Ganang: search in the web "compiz transparent menus" [17:00] mcl0vin: Quick one: in the source directory "patch -p1 < ../something.debdiff" [17:00] VBox cannot use a USB device if it is used by the underlaying host machine [17:00] Beyecixramd: thanks [17:00] Ganang, Also, they're called "gnome panels" that might make your search easier [17:00] yanick_ wildbat: Ok, I'll try both. [17:00] edbian: he's not looking for that... [17:00] Hey guys, does anybody know if its possible to restore my ubuntu for 2 days ago? [17:01] bazhang, is it Method 3 you were talking about?? or Method 2??? [17:01] CaponeBH: do you have a backup? then yes, otherwise, what's exactly your problem? [17:01] yanick_: Do you have another windows machine you can plug it into and "share" it over the network? another source of info is #vbox but I get the impression you might have already been there. [17:01] hi, i have two problems, but one sucks more.... can any1 help me with the logon-screen? [17:01] greenIT: ask you question [17:01] scunizi, I only have my laptop [17:01] Beyeixramd: My problem is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9337371#post9337371 [17:02] hi [17:02] !here | CaponeBH [17:02] CaponeBH: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [17:02] CaponeBH: next time type in "beye" and press to autocomplete ;) [17:02] resno, a "funny" guy activated all supporting features (like the on-screen keyboard) at the logonscreen and i can't disable it anymore....

[17:03] edbian: ooooooh... okay [17:04] yanick_: sorry I'm out of ideas [17:04] Beyecixramd: I have compiz installled...but i cant find General Options->Opacity Settings-> then add "DropdownMenu" but i cant find this option....do i need anything extra to install [17:04] im just using the drivers that come with ubuntu [17:04] resno, i can't disable the features. in 9.10 it was easy: just press ctrl+alt+f2 and then with f7, but if u enable all features in 10.04, you can't type anything anymore with your keyboard... this sucks -.- [17:04] scunizi, yeah.... thanks anyway [17:04] Beyecixramd: edbian: i am accessing it throu compizconfig settings manager [17:05] Ganang, That's good [17:05] Ganang: what exactly do you want to make transparent? the bar? or just the menu that pops up when pressing "applications"? [17:05] Beyecixrand: OK, so i was trying to change my startup sound, and i found a topic sayng to me this... Step 1: Go to System -> Preferences -> Starup Applications Look for “GNOME Login Sound” in the list. If you don’t want to hear anything at startup, uncheck this box. If you want to change the sound, press Edit button. Then in the command field you’ll see /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play –id=”desktop-login” –description=”GNOME Login” Change “d [17:05] Beyecixramd: second option, dropdown menu [17:06] hi, i need test a site on ie, there exist some online tool for test a site on diferent web browsers? [17:06] edbian: see? he meant actually the menu, not the bar [17:06] Beyecixrand: But i was stupid, cause i followed even this... [17:06] Change “desktop-login” to the name of the sound file you want, without file extension. [17:06] Click Save and close the startup dialog. [17:06] Just after i did that, that i realized that would be more simple to just change the name of the original song to another name, and the name of the song that i wanted to "desktop-login". [17:06] However, now its not working any song anymore, the song that i chose just works when i enter as root, cause i tried to do it with root using the way i said up there, changing the song that i wanted to "desktop-login". Well, what i wanna know is if that is a way to restore my “GNOME Login Sound” in the list "System -> Preferences -> Starup Applications" without losing any data, or file. [17:06] CaponeBH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:26] Krishnandu, idk ~ i always install and configure that by manual [17:27] ok after installing how would i configure it to work?? [17:27] mcl0vin: A PPA is a personal package archive, where one can upload packages oneself and have the built and published for others to install, the patches for pastebinit are available from my ppa, but the best way to try the new fix would probably be for you to install it from -proposed ... [17:27] Krishnandu, it only include (Linux) Apache Mysql PHP [17:27] Hello, there! conky variables *mails* and *new_mails* are not being refreshed/updated once the message[s] in the /var/mail/username are read/deleted; I usually start conky in the background but running it otherwise seems to have not the desired effect; so: the new local messages are properly counted and displayed at first, but having them read/deleted has not effect on what conky displays [it continues to show those messages [17:28] wildbat, hmm [17:28] Krishnandu, there is info on phpmyAdmin homepage [17:28] bazhang, anyway, thanks for your help [17:28] need a python script to write chars like %C [17:28] mcl0vin: Is this for Karmic?

Ati radeon 2400, open source drivers, it's laptop and this is "secondary" monitor. [17:34] bazhang, No one ever around [17:34] Anybody know why under Ubuntu 10.04 this no longer has anything in it: php -r 'echo "var_dump: " . var_dump($_ENV) . "\n";' [17:34] Krishnandu, client also got the tools for backup databases ~ so i recommend kepping it [17:34] wildbat, is it commandline?? [17:34] Krishnandu, yes [17:35] wildbat, I'm noob.

I would like to make 1st /boot 250mb should be enough. 2nd swap 1gb if it will be needed then its faster when its more to start of the disk 3rd / 5gb should be enough for clean xubuntu (2gb) and additional programms. 3rd /home all the rest till the end. and all I would like to make xfs so itsfastest yes? for one pc I made xfs boot and its booting but not showing grub. so maybe for [17:36] is there a metapackage way to install the python dev packages? [17:36] mcl0vin: I'll happily help out (as will many in #ubuntu-motu I trust) with specific questions if you want to go through the whole packaging from original patch to binary, but I'm not going to totally hold your hand through it ;) [17:37] Kangarooo, unless it's changed 100mb should suffice for a /boot partition [17:37] Kangarooo, id make /root (the one with your instal) more than 5GB maybe 8-12 [17:38] so ubuntu is not going forward ? [17:38] mcl0vin: As far as simply getting it to work *now* Install the deb here https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pastebinit/0.11.2-1ubuntu0.1/+build/1744785 [17:38] ubuntu doesn't seem to assing the right drivers for my monitor... I can only set the resolution to 800 x 600 but my monitor is capable of 1280 * 1024 [17:38] scott_ino2: you mean not root but system witch symbol is just forwardslash yes? / ? [17:38] lol he said assing [17:39] pacific-blue, is your php.ini i think~ [17:39] lol.. sorry.. assign* [17:39] :P [17:39] yes Kangarooo i would have put / but didnt want you to get confused [17:39] pacific-blue, variables_order = "EGPCS" .... if the E is missing $_ENV will be empty [17:39] juanca: In most cases it's the video card driver. [17:40] Kangarooo, by default / will make all directories including a home directory [17:40] TommyThaGun: not sure what you're asking i guess. i mean, i do --> apt-cache search python-dev ...and it comes up with only 3 packages. it's not like there's a ton of python-dev packages that i can see that would make it call for a metapackage [17:40] hello i have problem with cairo-dock http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_1.png [17:40] Anyone using Thunderbird in Lucid? Can I change the font color of folder names? Whenever a folder has new mail, it turns grey and is very hard to see. It is made more inconspicuous instead of being highlighted. [17:40] vlt: that's what I guessed, but what can I do.. I don't have any ATI or Nvidia card.. it's a simple pc [17:40] Also, I liked the old search box (filtered instead of opened a search results tab) - is there a way to return it? (Thunderbird in Lucid) [17:41] scott_ino2: unles I make additional folders in other partitions. yes? so ok I make 8-12gb not /root but / yes? [17:41] TommyThaGun: what i mean by 'make it call for'.. is i just don't see the need, or call, for a python-dev metapackage here [17:41] thanks onetinsoldier I already had it actually [17:41] wildbat it dosnt work i need to send å as command to serial.write() [17:41] Beyecixramd: i can change everything now, what i cant is the colors of the start menu (dropdown menu), how can i do it? shouldnt it change when i change the theme too?

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. [17:50] Kangarooo: asking that is like asking "what's the best distribution" [17:50] Beyecixramd: if i delete, this file will be configured after automatically just by selecting a new theme again?

But how to install softwares from archieves. We have to type ./config or something. [17:51] rahul_: thats from 'source' [17:52] Kangarooo: look. i use ext4, it's just what i need. if you want performance, try brtfs [17:52] rahul_, no need [17:52] rahul_: and most source packages have their own directions [17:52] rahul_: hmmm... just follow the instructions in the package, but again, it's not the right way to install software.. [17:52] rahul_: to install software, better fetch a .deb file, or install directly from the pagkage manager (Synaptic is called in Ubuntu) [17:53] in readme they said to type make and then make install. [17:53] hello, how can i install gvim to my ubuntu?

What gives? [18:00] omfarka: in some ways i like 'cream' it helped me learn some of the features of vi i had been overlooking. [18:00] Dr_Willis: Yup! U r right. But then also if I want to install it from archieves bcoz I have already downloaded it . [18:01] Beyecixramd: what is the name of ubuntu complete themes ? just gnome themes? what is metacity actually? [18:01] anyone usese irssi ? how can i close nickserv tab ? /leave doesn't work. [18:01] Dr_Willis: It is in the .tar.gz2 format [18:01] Ganang: it's not like windows... [18:01] rahul_, there is no need to compile vlc [18:01] rahul_: the fact you downloade an archive.. is meaningless.. You will have to download a few 100+more mb of files to compile it.. so in short.. Install it witht he package manager.. and delete that tar.gz [18:01] Ganang: there are GTK themes, which affects GTK apps, and apps taking GTK controls. Like Empathy, Pidgin, OpenOffice and Firefox [18:01] ugur /win close [18:02] bazhang: then what? [18:02] Ganang: and then, you have Metacity, which is the "border" for ALL applications (including Wine apps and Qt apps) [18:02] rahul_: 'sudo apt-get install vlc' and there ya go.. [18:02] Alright, so I installed ubuntu 10.04 on an external harddrive, and now Grub runs off of that. On my internal hard drive I am running ubuntu 8.04. How can I restore grub so that it's running on the old internal hard drive? Is there an easy way to just switch over?? Because I'm imagining it's still on the internal hard drive, just not activated. [18:02] Apage43: thanks [18:02] how to mount usb-drive manually? [18:02] hi [18:02] richapple: sudo mount /dev/DEVICE /media/MAKEADIRFIRST [18:02] Dr_Willis: If I format my pc then I again have to download the same file. [18:02] Ganang, technically - metacity is the default "windows manager" for Gnome, Compiz is an alternative "windows manager" [18:02] Having trouble getting Kate to highlight custom file-extensions - tried changing /etc/mime.types but no luck. I want *.ncl to be highlighted as PHP... [18:03] Beyecixramd: hummmm...... now it makes sense.... so actually which theme takes control of ubuntu default stuff....the ones that come with the system including panels and so on [18:03] rahul_: so? if you format the pc you will have to download/reinstall a lot of things.. [18:03] rahul_: it will proberly take you a few hours to compile vlc.. [18:03] rahul_: given the tuff you will need to install BEFOR you can compile. [18:03] i am not b able to edit keytouch [18:03] Ganang: those are GTK themes, but some artists also package in, a set of a GTK theme and a Metacity theme, which make them appear as a set in the theme manager [18:03] yeah but the theme manager from ubuntu has a series of "ready to use themes" what are these ones? combination of all? [18:03] rahul_: while the .deb is lot smaller. [18:03] Dr_Willis: Cant we keep a copy of file on hard disk and not to download from the internet again and again. [18:03] Beyecixramd: ok nice... [18:04] Ganang: GTK + Metacity + maybe some other funky stuff, like wallpapers [18:04] rahul_: save the .deb file and all the other packages the package manager caches in /var/ and YES.. you can keep the debs.. [18:04] Ganang: the "sets" also are able to change the iconset and the mouse cursor [18:04] ok good [18:04] rahul_: I set up a pc on my lan to cache all the packages.. i download them once. (well the server does) and the other 4 pc's get them from that pc. [18:05] Dr_Willis: Ok.. Thanks. Where should I get the .deb files? [18:05] rahul_, DEBs are in /var/cache/apt/archive it's a very handy directory to backup [18:05] rahul_: they are in /var/cache/apt [18:05] any one here to help me [18:05] sudo mount /dev/DEVICE /media/MAKEADIRFIRST what should i write instead of DEVICE? [18:05] Beyecixramd: so basically to add such a theme do my theme manager which ones should i liook for? i dont want to search for folders where i should manually place these themes maybe tweak them..i dont know.... how can i easily add them to my manager...i am sure it must have a way [18:05] plz [18:05] richapple: plug in the device.. wait a few moments.. check 'dmesg' output. or check 'sudo fdisk -l' output [18:05] richapple: dmesg should mention it at the end. [18:06] !help | vikas [18:06] vikas: 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).

[18:06] richapple: alternatively.. open a xterm, do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' plug the thing in.., and watch the window to see it get identified and its sd## [18:06] Ganang: some themes are ready for dragging and dropping, some others aren't. To install those enabled for drag-and-drop, just drag the .tar.gz package to the theme manager [18:06] richapple, alternatively "sudo fdisk -l" will list all hard drives [18:06] Ganang: depends. it's the artist who decides where to put his theme, in which category [18:06] Dr_Willis: Thanks. I found it. This will help me a lot [18:06] Ganang: check out the 'gnome-art' tool it lets you easially install stuff. [18:07] rahul_: you may want to read up on the apt-get/apt packag manager system ubuntu uses.. [18:07] !apt | rahul_ [18:07] rahul_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [18:07] Ganang: listen to what Dr_Willis says too, he's a smart dude :) [18:07] hi [18:07] * Dr_Willis slips Beyecixramd a Fivers... [18:07] :) [18:07] every one here [18:07] Beyecixramd: yeah, but do they have a specific extension that i know i can drag-n-drop ? should i look for gnome 2.x themes? [18:07] haha Dr_Willis [18:07] Ganang: yes, their extension is .tar.gz [18:08] !hi | vikas [18:08] vikas: 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! [18:08] Beyecixramd: Dr_Willis: ok thanks guys [18:08] Ganang: they will be archives.. if done properly - check out the 'gnome-art' tool. or the 'gnome-art-ng' tool, (that one is not in the repos) [18:08] Ganang: but keep in mind that not all .tar.gz themes are ready for dropping :) [18:08] ya thnx [18:08] Dr_Willis: Can u tell me the site where linux users can find .deb files? [18:08] rahul_: google :) [18:08] rahul_: they are stored on the ubuntu servers. [18:08] Ganang: you will soon find that most of the themes/parts are rather.. ugly. :) [18:08] Ganang: anyway.... just thought about that... we could use a nice extension for themes... to make it uniform (the way of installing themes) [18:09] Having trouble getting Kate to highlight custom file-extensions - tried changing /etc/mime.types but no luck. I want *.ncl to be highlighted as PHP... [18:09] rahul_, getdeb.org is one [18:09] or .net [18:09] either way [18:09] i am not b able to update my xubantu [18:09] Costre: Thanks costre === chrisVM is now known as chris_V [18:10] !details | vikas [18:10] vikas: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [18:10] ok [18:10] Thank You Dr_Willis: Costre: [18:11] i was first using ubuntu and then i changed to xubantu [18:11] Hmm.. Now how to 'save' the flash game on googles front Page.. :) [18:11] Beyecixramd: yeah probably i will have to find out a way to play around with them...also it disturbs me because with a transparent bar and black wallpaper i wanted fonts with white color....that is why i installed the gnome-color-chooser the first time that messed up with my .gtkrc file [18:11] vikas: you Instlled ubuntu, then installed xubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu? [18:11] then threw update manager i try ed to update [18:11] ya [18:11] threw terminal [18:12] vikas: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and see what the error messages are. [18:12] need details of problem.. error messages and such [18:12] qq [18:12] Dr_Willis:Shall one delete the packages stored in var/cache/apt [18:12] ok let try [18:12] rahul_: why bother? [18:12] Dr_Willis:Once we take the back up of them? [18:13] Dr_Willis:To save disk space? [18:13] rahul_: leave them alone. They get auto cleaned out as needed. [18:13] they also get auto-redownloaded as needed. [18:13] rahul_: theres also the 'sudo apt-get autoremove' and 'sudo apt-get clean' commands [18:14] why does locate irssi for ex. still list files in /var/ after using apt-get purge? [18:14] Dr_Willis: Also I have installed wine. Yet I am unable to play counter strike 1.6 [18:14] i know it's stupid question but what should i write instead of MAKEADIRFIRST in sudo mount /sde1 /media/MAKEADIRFIRST [18:14] jack_boss: the locate command uses a database. that database gets updated like 1 a day [18:14] i got out of scan range when ever a game try to fullscreen , how to fix that? [18:14] !appdb | rahul_ [18:14] rahul_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [18:14] jack_boss: use 'sudo updatedb' to force a update of the locate database [18:14] so locate irssi without updatedb would have lsited nothing? [18:15] other way around [18:15] jack_boss: locate uses the database. :) so its as acurate as the last time it got updated.. [18:15] richapple: you should make a dir first (e.g. mountdir) and then put that name into the mount command [18:15] i wanna pest the output how can i do [18:15] vikas, paste.ubuntu.com [18:15] Has anybody had any wireless issues in 10.04? I've found that I can connect to all WPA networks at work EXCEPT one. I have no idea why. [18:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/437431/ [18:16] guntbert. can you write it down? I'm noob for Linux [18:17] !cli | richapple something to read :-) [18:17] richapple something to read :-): The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [18:17] see my update output http://paste.ubuntu.com/437431/ [18:17] vikas: do you happen to be behind a proxy, as per https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/update-manager/+bug/479391 ?? [18:18] I like hoiw Im connected wirelessly, but my network manager icon says Im disconnected. [18:18] lol [18:18] richapple: sudo mkdir /media/extdrive; sudo mount /dev/sde1 /media/extdrive [18:18] no [18:18] Hmm... I "remove"d nautilus-share because sharing a Samba folder through it (Nautilus) wouldn't work, it would ALWAYS ask me for a username/password, even though I set it to work with guests, and even though I wrote my own username/password, to no avail, and now I reinstalled it, but totally lost the right-click option to share on Nautilus. How can I fix that? [18:18] Roasted_: ive seen that when ive connected by my Wired network also. :) [18:18] i dont think [18:18] Dr_Willis, I don't like it. Tell it to stop. [18:18] Dr_Willis: how does purge work [18:19] KaOSoFt: you could of giveen your user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' and it might of worked... [18:19] Dr_Willis: does it look for every related file to the programm being removed? [18:19] jack_boss: purge removes config files for apps as well as the app. [18:19] hello. i have just installed fresh copy of lucid lynx, and had flashplug-installed for firefox. but it appears this works just partially; i can't affect any player controls in YouTube, SpeedTest.net and other sites. for instance. would appreciate any hints. [18:19] jack_boss: just the config files.. the idea of 'every related file' is a little broad. :) [18:19] jack_boss: and its just the SYSTEM config files. not custome user configs. [18:19] hey, I was here last night asking about some problems, it didn't work so I just went to bed === penris is now known as opnet [18:20] me [18:20] Dr_Willis: well i compiled a file and installed it with apt-get and found some hidden file in my home dir [18:20] histon was talking about it [18:20] after using purge and reinstalling it, the home dir is empty of such file [18:20] or histo [18:20] jack_boss: files in the users HOME dir are NOT going to be removed by the package manager system [18:20] jack_boss: unless you did somthing very.. weird.. [18:20] opnet: unlikely that somebody will remember if you yourself don't :_) [18:20] anyone knows who is Ryan who made this blogpost? http://izanbardprince.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/comparing-boot-performance-of-ext3-ext4-and-xfs-on-ubuntu-jaunty/ [18:21] lol, yeah [18:21] good point [18:21] Roasted: what's happening? is something constantly spitting a message out at you? btw, i know nothing about wireless [18:21] Kangarooo, welcome to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss [18:21] Dr_Willis: uhm, what if its something like ./irssi/config [18:21] Dr_Willis, but I set it (through the Nautilus extension) to accept guests requests. [18:22] jack_boss: double check that path.. if you mean .irssi/stuff in the users home.. the package manager should NOT be affecting files/dirs in the users home dirs. [18:22] Guests also have a password? ._. [18:22] I'm going to install slax so whatever [18:22] The thing now is, I lost the right-click Share option on Nautilus. I don't see it anymore. :s [18:23] Anybody here thinking that Lucid is unstable? [18:24] Dr_Willis: i didnt do anything funny i just dont want files spread like config files that would have stuff like auto connect [18:24] Nevermind, nautilus -q did the trick. [18:24] and when i reinstall irssi and not all files were removed incluing files in var im confused [18:24] Guys whould i install openssh-server or ssh [18:25] i mean sudo apt-get install ssh?? [18:25] the other [18:25] jack_boss, you mean open ssh?? [18:25] jack_boss, what id I install ssh?? [18:25] Krishnandu: yes [18:25] jack_boss, what if i install ssh?? [18:26] Krishnandu: can u?

[18:27] jack_boss, any functional diff?? [18:27] ok. do you know how to custom boot? [18:27] Krishnandu: Not really. [18:27] jack_boss: the users keep track of their own config files in their home dirs.. not the system package manager. [18:27] Krishnandu: just the name of the file [18:27] jack_boss, ya ssh client is installed......not the server [18:27] lucid empathy encodings? where can i correct this [18:28] IRC, [18:28] jack_boss, so I'm installing ssh [18:28] Krishnandu: than u can connect to a server, a client cant connect to you [18:28] jack_boss, no no I know the diff b/w client and server [18:28] the ubuntu update stops at Calculating the changes [18:28] jack_boss, I was asking for diff b/w openssh and ssh [18:29] claude23: i haven't messaed around much with grub2. used to know how with grub1 pretty good. but, you will want to look at grub2's config file in --> /etc/grub.d -and- /etc/default/ [18:29] jack_boss, Here I get confused....same problem with JDK and OpenJDK [18:29] Dr_Willis: do programs keep track of files in home dir if they were remvoed with pruge? and if it was placed the in the first place does it get overwritten [18:29] does anybody know why i dont get a text console at all on my freshly installed ubuntu 10.04? also i get "plymouth-splash terminated with status 1" and no graphics environment after a system update :( [18:29] Krishnandu: what do u want to do?

[19:03] napster: cant say [19:03] *change [19:03] Axan: if you put package on 'keep', i don't think it'll get updated, but not positive. in the old days, you would upgrade to new version of debian/ubuntu distro by changing you're /etc/apt/sources.list file and the running apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. and, you could do --> apt-get -s dist-upgrade to see what all it was going to do first, without actually doing it. not sure of way to do that now, but there is prob [19:03] ably a way [19:03] phlak_user, okey [19:03] who is this bastard [19:03] me [19:03] claude23: yes so the boot loader is on the flashdrive right?

[19:06] Axan: correct. they will not work on new version of Xorg that's in Lucid... i can't be 100% certain of that, but i am pretty sure you will find that to be the case [19:06] shishire: you can't [19:06] does anyone know if you can use software to force a USB On-The-Go port to act as a host even with a Mini-USB B cable?

[19:07] onetinsoldier: ATI Radeon X600 (RV380) [19:08] phlak_user: Ok, i am booting ubuntu [19:08] claude23: so ubuntu lucid uses grub2 as the bootloader [19:08] warriorforgod, for what its worth if you use mdadm , ie software raid you wont have this issue should your motherboard or sata controller fail since that raid implentation doesnt depend on the raid hardware used [19:08] !grub2 | claude23 [19:08] claude23: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

Software wise at best you could contact the manufacturer for a way to recover the data, or which raid controllers ar [19:13] e compatible to recover the raid with.

[19:23] Axan, glxinfo | grep OpenGL [19:23] Daekdroom: your edit should be added soon :) [19:23] Axan, it should mention Mesa if you're using the opensource driver [19:23] claude23: did you get the grub screen first? [19:24] anyone know what variable to change in the theme file of burg to alter the progress bar position? [19:24] learner7: find one you like and don't worry about it.. I typically just remove the sd/cf card and put it in a reader.. typically a much faster file transfer espicially with larger image files [19:24] Daekdroom: And when glxinfo crash segmentation fault ? ^^ [19:24] what grub screen? [19:24] in burg, my fault [19:24] Axan, That's likely a bad xorg upgrade o.o [19:24] im running the refit theme [19:24] i want to move the progress bar to the top of the screen instead of the bottom [19:24] soreau, this is copy/pasted from the man page for "free"......"The -b switch displays the amount of memory in bytes; the -k switch (set by default) displays it in kilobytes; the -m switch displays it in megabytes; the -g switch displays it in gigabytes." [19:24] phlak_user: What grub screen? [19:25] hi [19:25] hello [19:25] a3ist: I thought you were the one that said free -m, because that is the command I have been using [19:26] soreau, no worries. When in doubt, the man pages are usually the best reference. [19:26] claude23: its too hard to explain.. hang on, let me see if theres a tutorial i can pull [19:26] i'd like to setup my computer as ssh serwer i have installed openssh-server package but what i should do if i want to make my computer accessible via internet? [19:27] Are you guys all running lucid? [19:27] already? [19:27] a3ist: Right, but how do you find a man page for some program that tells you how much memory your machine has when you don't know about free? ;) [19:27] sclytrack: not all of us [19:27] Axan: perhaps you need to rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, or remove it. see if you have that file [19:27] lucid right [19:27] soreau, I didn't mean originally; I meant when you were unsure about the format :) [19:27] sclytrack: Yes, the entire world is. [19:27] Because I'm still on the previous one and don't really dare to upgrade. [19:27] a3ist: Oh I'm sure, free -m outputs in mb by default :D [19:28] sclytrack: you don't have to upgrade if you don't want to [19:28] claude23: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/run-ubuntu-710-from-windows/ [19:28] soreau: graphically, presumably a user would use the gnome system monitor which is accessible in a few ways :) [19:28] Axan: if you rename/remove that file, you would need to restart x-windows for the change to take effect [19:28] Yo every body [19:28] onetinsoldier: I tried severals tutorials from ubuntu.org actually (to install catalyst drivers, or open-source one, ... but none worked.. maybe I did something wrong.. maybe Its just doomed) [19:28] hi [19:28] Yo. [19:28] i need some help [19:28] nemo: There is no gnome system monitor. The original question was, how to find the amount of ram a machine has via cli [19:28] phlak_user: It's an old one right? [19:28] ah. "via cli" [19:29] !ask | Flaster [19:29] Flaster: 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. :-) [19:29] Is there a way to find out what cards are connected to my PCI slots? I need to find out if the chipset on my sata pci card is silicon image [19:29] ? [19:29] prettyhatem: lspci [19:29] claude23: the logic is the same [19:29] soreau, the only reason I piped up originally was to clarify about the output from "free" being deceiving without context; a lot of people see the first line and think that most of their memory is being wasted, when in fact its just being delegated for access via buffers, and the buffer line gives a better idea of what's being actively used and what's free. [19:29] IdleOne: thanks! [19:29] soreau, free -m [19:29] Axan: maybe.. maybe not. anyway, i don't usually do 'upgrades' for a new version of linux. i almost always do a fresh clean install [19:29] onetinsoldier: why ? [19:29] Astyx: Right, we've covered that, thanks [19:30] soreau, its just a habit of mine to offer clarifications to potentially confusing or ambiguous situations or advice. [19:30] a3ist: Well most people are idiots, so I see where you're coming from ;) [19:30] a3ist: The output was very clear to me [19:31] soreau: Please try not to be insulting. a3ist is correct when saying that sometimes clarification is needed. [19:31] ubottu, ok so i'm trying to install Ubu on a Laptop CompaqPresario cq61 . i tried with Lucid but it gives an error when at 64% i tells me to clean the Reader [19:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:31] Axan: just so many different issues you can have with all kinds of things on an upgrade it seems like to me... fresh install, always works beautifully. if you are a very experienced user, then you can usually fix most issues yourself on an upgrade. otherwise, you're could be asking for trouble [19:31] Hey, guys, question. On my desktop I currently have a wireless keyboard + mouse that use the same receiver, but the mouse is dying. If I got a new wireless mouse with its own receiver, would I be able to run both the keyboard and the new mouse at the same time, or would the wireless signals conflict with each other? [19:31] hello [19:31] soreau, well I wouldn't put it quite like that :) But the general level of experience with the CLI among new ubuntu users is often kinda basic, so I just err on the side of caution. === eugene_ is now known as eGe [19:32] hi [19:32] soreau, IdleOne, don't worry about it; he wasn't insulting me specifically.

[19:40] eee, the ster of the paradigm [19:40] ok [19:40] carneades, then the problem is that its not being assigned an IP lease via whatever dhcp daemon you have running. Are you using NetworkManager? [19:41] I just finished installing xubutun 10.04 and after pressing reboot cd removed after 30sec and I got black screen with white text writing [ 8955.063900] end-request: I/O, dev sr0, sector 665776 and about 50 lines like that with different numbers [19:41] ZenMasta_: a lot of people recommend using a package called 'remastersys' to make backup images of your partitions. but alas, it's is not in the official ubuntu repositories [19:41] a3ist: i'm at work, using a manual ip4 setting in NetworkManager [19:41] IdleOne, how can I remove it?

[19:42] onetinsoldier sounds fine and all, but I made this backup months ago so its a little late now. need to work with what I have [19:42] a3ist: when i click the applet it says "network" under "wired network" instead of showing my connection settings [19:42] carneades, then its probably a result of the manual settings not communicating with the DHCP server to request a proper lease. What do you get when you run "cat /etc/resolv.conf"? [19:42] phlak_user, thanks ... [19:42] ZenMasta_: roger that. good luck [19:42] erUSUL: after pressing reboot now after 30sec cd ejected automatically and then immidiatly showed that errors. then I tryd pressing enter and then I got messege * Will reboot now [19:42] and rebooted [19:42] ZenMasta_: so do the reverse of that [19:43] !unetbootin [19:43] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:43] a3ist: i get a one-line file that says "#Generated by NetworkManager" [19:43] claude23: yes? [19:43] a3ist: /etc/hosts also gave 127.0.0.1 for my comp name, i tried changing that to my static IP but that didn't help [19:43] carneades, that's the problem then. For some reason, its not finding the DHCP server, and subsequently can't request a lease [19:43] feed your uncompressed image file to dd with the appropriate output target [19:43] scunizi: after pressing enter got messege * Will reboot now. but why I need to see some errors. why not just press enter? [19:44] i have a problem with emacs-snapshot: i cannot use keyboard or mouse after screen lock is unlocked, with all other apps keyboard and mouse work, i dont have meouseemu installed [19:44] a3ist: ok i see, so my network manager would be the next step then? [19:44] anyone know the command to switch a monitor off and backlight? [19:44] Kangarooo: no idea.. you could hit the reset button and see if it boots cleanly [19:44] a3ist: and should i change my ip in /etc/hosts back to the 127 loopback? [19:44] What version of the kernel is included with the most recent xubuntu livecd? [19:44] scunizi: all is working but why on installations theese error meseeges I see after pressing restart now when installation is finished [19:45] phlak_user: I typed in persistent, and i hit escape, It said that it was leaving the graphical mode, and going into the text interface [19:45] under: sorry I had to step away for a minute. I am not sure exactly what you did so it is hard to tell you how to undo it [19:45] carneades, frankly I'm not as experienced fixing it through networkmanager as i am through regular CLI methods. You can set your DNS servers manually by adding them to resolv.conf as "nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" and if you don't want them replaced, you can change the privs on the file to remove write. [19:45] Hello, I'm stuck on configuring my fan. I know I need to edit the /etc/fancontrol file (which doesn't exist). The fan is turned on all the time. I think mainly I'm just trying to find what device is the fan and control it. Any help? Thanks in advance. [19:45] I'm starting to think that updates to the kernel caused my wifi problems [19:45] Kangarooo: I've no idea.. there are so many variations in hardware configuration there's no way for a lay person like myself to track them [19:46] a3ist: ok great. i have a feeling the cause of this problem is someone else using my network credentials instead of getting their own. maybe that's why the DNS server won't respond [19:46] a3ist: thanks for your help, i'll keep looking into it [19:46] carneades, I didn't catch that; what was that about your hosts file? [19:46] I have a dual monitor setup... Now whenever I launch a steam game (using Wine) fullscreen, the game window spans both my screens. Is there a way to force Wine fullscreen programs on one display? [19:46] a3ist: the line after the localhost address is "127.0.0.1 [comp_name]". which seems odd to me [19:47] phlak_user: What now? [19:47] a3ist: so i tried changing it to my static ip. just wondering if i should have left it [19:47] carneades, can you do a pastebin of the contents of your hosts file? [19:47] carneades, that could very definitely mess with NetworkManager requesting a DHCP lease [19:47] masterburner: I have dual monitor too, and would love to find an answer to that [19:47] Is there any way to get apt to install the 2.6.29 version of the kernel? I understand from mailing list postings that is one kernel known to work with my hardware. [19:47] claude23: not sure what you meant by exiting graphical mode and entering text mode [19:48] masterburner: the virtual screen size is both monitors combined.. programs running in wine I don't think can tell the "sub" resolution of each monitor so it uses the virtual screen size.. maybe turn one monitor off. [19:48] masterburner: as in disable one monitor [19:48] I hit escape, and it gave me that message, and when I hit okay, It came up with a command prompt [19:48] masterburner: just a thought; would it help if you disconnected the other monitor, run steam in fullscreen and connect the monitor back [19:48] Does anyone know the unetbootin package name? Or is not in the repository? [19:48] hi all, i was considering purchasing a graphics card for my ubuntu 10.04, but am not quite sure what is compatible, can any one suggest where i can find linux compatible graphics cards [19:48] masterburner: the other solution is xinerama and a hand written xorg.conf.. [19:49] Soyo: thats a windoze executable [19:49] masterburner: that way you're actually using 2 x sessions for display [19:49] phlak_user: yes, that seems to work fine... but it's rather impractical [19:49] a3ist: http://pastebin.com/9qJpWfCM [19:49] !unetbootin | Soyo [19:49] Soyo: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [19:49] Soyo, it's 'unetbootin' [19:49] scunizi: I'll take a look into xinerama, thanks :) [19:50] hello [19:50] phlak_user: shouldn't do that while the computer is on.. you might damage the video card..

[19:50] Soyo, it's in the universe repository [19:50] scunizi: yes, I do [19:50] dancek, thanks [19:50] console shows me to much text. Is there a command to show that text piece by piece ? [19:51] chamuscas, less [19:51] chamuscas: pipe it through less [19:51] chamuscas: pipe it to less [19:51] heh [19:51] dancek, tank you [19:51] masterburner: if you're using the nvidia drivers then nvidia-settings should allow you to enable xinerama.. it eliminates twinview.. there's plusses and minus's to both [19:51] oops [19:51] chamuscas, for example 'find . | less' [19:51] moetunes, tank you [19:51] phlak_user, tank you [19:51] how can I see which dirs are checked for a certain lib? [19:51] sannn: ldd program-name [19:52] carneades, yes that could definitely be the problem. Here's how mine is generated automatically on my ubuntu box: http://pastebin.com/xVqrvw10 [19:52] phlak_user: that shows the libs loaded but not the ldd search dirs [19:52] scunizi: allright, I'll see if I can cook up a script that switches between modes automatically... thanks for your help [19:52] dancek, i want to see "alien" commands. Is "less alien"? ( I already know it is not =/) [19:53] sannn: ld.so.conf [19:53] can i search for packages with apt-get? I didnt see the option in help [19:53] masterburner: easy enough using nvidia-settings to switch between them. [19:53] chamuscas: try alien | less [19:53] sannn: in /etc [19:53] chamuscas: alian | less is the correct way to pipe command output [19:53] MACscr: sudo apt-cache search package-name [19:53] f [19:54] moetunes, just a moment .... yes it work but how do i drive that thing :S [19:54] masterburner, tank you [19:54] carneades the problem is that if you have two lines in the hosts file that start with the same IP, the last entry will overwrite the ones that come before it. If you want both "localhost" and "[computer name]" to point to 127.0.0.1, you'd put them on the same line seperated by spaces. That's how you set multiple aliases for an entry. [19:54] chamuscas: use the down button and q to quit [19:54] Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04 is very slow with me, Any one can tell me what to do to solve this problem, please ? [19:55] when I go to menu, system -> prefrences, the menu goes off the screen when I try to scroll to what I want, as soon as I go off the scroll bar, it snaps back to the beginning, making it impossible to select the option I want, any ideas? [19:55] awaad: install Chromium ;-) [19:55] carneades, for example, when I was setting up arch linux on my laptop and wasn't getting DNS resolution but I could connect to IP's, I added this to my hosts file on my laptop: "66.211.214.131 archlinux archlinux.org www.archlinux.org wiki.archlinux.org bugs.hostlinux.org" [19:55] a3ist: now that i look at my backup, that's how it was, i typed it wrong in pastebin since that computer has no internet. but i tried adding the name server to resolv.conf. how can i restart networking without restarting the computer? [19:55] phlak_user: Do I need to update something when I installed new libs in a folder listed /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf [19:55] sannn, ld.so.conf [19:55] cam you boot from a logical partition? [19:55] awaad: what is slow, exactly? is it the page loading? or does rendering a page takes a long time? flash could also cause problems on some hardware... try a different flash player addon [19:55] oodavid: I like FireFox more [19:56] Hey all - I'm new to Wine - Can I use windows programs that I've already installed in my windows partition using Wine (in Ubuntu) ? Or should I again install the executable? [19:56] moetunes, ouch that realy doesn't work well. Down key the text is the same, upper key shows me a bunch of this "~" things, one in each line. Then i can't get back to the original text :S [19:56] Cptnodegard, yes [19:56] masterburner: When I click its icon to open it, it takes a minute to start [19:56] Hey, I like dell [19:56] a3ist: i can't connect to IPs either. ifconfig doesn't even show an ip address [19:56] masterburner: While I am browsing it stops a lot [19:56] carneades, you should be able to restart the NetworkManager service; "sudo service network-manager restart" [19:56] Pr0ject-Rec0n, sometimes that works, winehq has a list of applications that work and/or a guide on how to get it to work [19:57] sannn: yes you need to run ldconfig [19:57] hi all, im new tp ubuntu and just installed ver 10 on my laptop, so any suggestions on what programs to use for general use [19:57] pr0ject-rec0n: yes, you can run the programs directly from your windows installation, but be carefull: some programs might not work 100% with wine, wich might cause these programs to mess things up. It would be safer to copy the whole program folder and run that [19:57] phlak_user: thanks! [19:57] acicula, link please ... [19:57] carneades, or "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart", but ubuntu/debian seems to be deprecating that approach to restarting init-based services. [19:57] kamileon: general use for doing what? [19:57] phlak_user: thanks [19:58] Pr0ject-Rec0n, http://www.google.com/search?q=winehq [19:58] well i was thinking of using it instead of windows as my primary os [19:59] kamileon: uh huh, but what tasks do you plan to perform? "general use" is a rather vague description [19:59] Do any of you guys find that the UI design of Lucid makes some things very difficult to see, because of the color choices? For example see this screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/913175/this_ui_design_well_dot_dot_dot.png [19:59] video editing? image manipulation? surfing the web? etc. [20:00] shane2peru: As a temorary workaround, use keyboard to navigate. [20:00] netech_: how about just selecting menu options, and seeing window controls [20:00] I'm having major problems with flash animations in Firefox. For example: I can't click any of the control buttons on youtube video's. When I rightclick the flash video and THEN double-click the button, it does work... any way to fix this? [20:00] 10.04 already has a lot of applications installed by default to get you running [20:00] masterburner: Can you help me ? [20:00] doulos: yes, skype is unusable [20:00] doulos: I was speaking to kamileon; sorry. [20:00] netech: well i so some dev work for android like themeing and what not [20:00] arand, thanks!!! good idea, [20:00] netech_: sorry, I realized that late :) [20:00] doulos: eclipse mouse-overs are unreadable too [20:01] masterburner: 32 or 64 bits¿ [20:01] carneades: have you found some workaround? [20:01] I all, I wonder if someone can help me with a virt related question.. #ubuntu-virt is very quiet. I've posted my question 2 times there already and besides people leaving and going and posting questions, no one is answering. [20:01] doulos: i just switched to clearlooks, problem solved :) [20:01] hi, I see that the file sshd_config has ListenAddress commented. I want to be able to connect to my machine from other places other than at home, should I copy the ip address outputed by iconfig in ListenAdrres to be able to do that? [20:01] I persistently get this on one computer, after doing a clean install. I checked that VT support is enabled in the bios. Any clues as to what may be causing this: [20:01] carneades: is that an Ubuntu theme? [20:01] doulos: yeah, preferences --> appearance [20:01] cybrocop, whats causing what? [20:01] doulos: comes with ubuntu [20:01] error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': Connection refused [20:02] Here is the debug output: http://slexy.org/view/s21vQvDQH1 [20:02] HI [20:02] cybrocop, is the libvirt daemon running? [20:02] carneades, any luck? [20:03] No, it too cannot start becuase of the same error. [20:03] If I have a 100 KB/s download cap on Transmission, why does System Monitor report that I'm downloading at my maximum speed? Nothing else should be downloading, and when I quit Transmission, the graph shows continued maximum downloading for a minute, then it crashes to 0. [20:03] carneades: oh yeah. Huge difference. [20:03] a3ist: nope. but old settings not working on bootable disc either. very very suggesting that the problem is with my LAN [20:03] del dell dell [20:04] Hello, I'm stuck on configuring my fan. I know I need to edit the /etc/fancontrol file (which doesn't exist). The fan is turned on all the time. I think mainly I'm just trying to find what device is the fan and control it. Any help? Thanks in advance. [20:04] Do I have some wacky form of malware that attaches itself to a BitTorrent client and only downloads when said client is running? [20:04] a3ist: i have a computer to the left and a computer to the right that work fine, but not this one. maybe IT is blocking me for some reason, no idea [20:04] oh, this isn't ubuntu-offtopic [20:04] LOL [20:04] cya [20:04] Andorin, 100 KB/s * 8 (bits per byte) = 800 Kbps [20:04] anicula: Here is the output when I try to run libvirtd manually [20:04] blime: So? System Monitor is set to report in KB/s, not Kb/s [20:04] carneades, it is possible that its a network issue. The immediate issue is that the upstream DHCP server isn't leasing you an IP for that interface. [20:05] anicula: http://slexy.org/view/s2dg1VrlFn [20:05] doulus: I noticed that with Skype too, go to settings > General > Choose Style and pick "Desktop Settings" [20:05] doulus: it seems Skype have their own skin with only half the options, so there's aclash [20:05] Andorin, Transmission's download cap doesn't include overhead [20:05] Daekdroom: Overhead? === maciek_ is now known as jasny [20:05] What be that? [20:05] Andorin, that extra data is probably tracker or not actual data [20:05] i've got an audio problem. sounds play before i login (the startup sounds) but after i log in, sound does not work and my audio card does not show up in hardware...any suggestions on where to start? [20:05] Daekdroom: Here's the thing. My max speed atm is roughly 600 KB/s. [20:05] a3ist: maybe. the only reason i can't totally get behind it is that i don't understand why networkmanager won't even show me the setting to click on. in the past, before i set up the manual IP settings, i'm able to see and click on eth0, it just never successfully gets an address [20:05] We don't need NvidiA! [20:05] Andorin, Well, that's definitely not right o.o [20:06] oodavid, whats the output of sudo service libvirt-bin restart [20:06] err nvm oodavid [20:06] carneades, have you tried searching through the logs to see if any errors pop up? [20:06] eGe, i thought it goes like "we don't need no education..." [20:06] acicula: ?? [20:06] Daekdroom: Yeah, exactly. =x [20:06] cybrocop, , whats the output of sudo service libvirt-bin restart [20:07] hello [20:07] acicula: I see, no worries :D [20:07] Hi, what command can unpack an rpm? [20:07] a3ist: which log? [20:07] I need help with some SOAP problem [20:07] I'm having major problems with flash animations in Firefox. For example: I can't click any of the control buttons on youtube video's. When I rightclick the flash video and THEN double-click the button, it does work... any way to fix this? [20:07] hi@all [20:07] is there any soap channel or sth? [20:07] carneades, I'm checking mine to see which ones network-manager is logging to [20:07] Leo_, I guess that's not an ubuntu issue, but what is the problem? [20:07] Guess I'll keep asking periodically... [20:08] Uncaught SoapFault exception: [Client] SOAP-ERROR: Encoding: object hasn't 'estePersoanaFizica' property [20:08] I get that error [20:08] rofl, i just tried skype with ubuntu and i sounded horrible. Seems PulseAudio is used by default. Is that recommended? [20:08] a3ist: syslog and daemon.log it would seem [20:08] Hello, how can I get a google calendar popup to appear on all desktops?

[20:08] MACscr, thats the defaut yeah [20:08] and I can't figure it out why [20:08] Leo_, well it seems client and server do have different versions of the wsdl.

[20:10] cybrocop, does the error go away now? [20:10] masterburner .. check if the same version appears there [20:10] a3ist: the only suspicious line is " (eth0): deactivating device (reason: 2)." [20:11] Hi [20:11] Astyx: no libmoon installed over here [20:11] so it's not a code issue? [20:11] Astyx, We need Knowledge an not the Information!

[20:14] cybrocop, well you get the error because it dies, you need libvirtd running to be able to use it [20:14] dipu: allright, I'll ask around some more on the internet... thank you [20:14] I'm getting a conflict with xserver-xorg-input-hyperpen [20:14] Hello, I'm stuck on configuring my fan. I know I need to edit the /etc/fancontrol file (which doesn't exist). The fan is turned on all the time. I think mainly I'm just trying to find what device is the fan and control it. Any help? Thanks in advance. [20:14] carneades, what do you get if you run "sudo ps ax | grep dhclient" [20:14] anicula: Thats what I thought. But why would it segfault? [20:15] manos : Does it really matter!!! [20:15] ubnuntu_giant, afaik there is a fancontrol detect tool too that lets you figure out how and what to set the fan speed. Its not possible on every comp to do so though [20:15] afaik? [20:15] !gr [20:15] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [20:15] a3ist: "12435 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto dhclient" [20:15] as far as i know(afaik) [20:16] a3ist: which i think is the search itself :) [20:16] anyone from greece?? [20:16] Astyx, You bad attitude is that you say all this when i'm off [20:16] Ah. :) [20:16] malaka [20:16] if I want to use a whole drive as one volume, do I still need make one partition using the whole disk space ? [20:16] carneades, that's a problem. you're correct. the problem is that dhclient, the service that manages the assignment of leases, isn't running. [20:16] anicula: Another interesting things is that this is after a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 [20:16] gkmanos21, try the greek ubuntu channel? [20:17] If I have a 100 KB/s download cap on Transmission, why does System Monitor report that I'm downloading at my maximum speed? Nothing else should be downloading, and when I quit Transmission, the graph shows continued maximum downloading for a minute, then it crashes to 0. Max speed is roughly 600 KB/s. What gives? [20:17] a3ist: interesting, not sure what to do about that or what causes it [20:17] cybrocop, have a look in the syslog whats causing the error? [20:17] Linex: ubuntu will need 2 partitions at minimum.. root and /swap.. I recommend 3 partitions.. root @ 10-15 gigs... /swap @ 2 gig and the rest /home where your data lives [20:17] carneades, the normal process for network manager involves starting dhclient to manage the lease for the interface, which apparently isn't happening. That at least gives us a place to look. [20:17] Hi, I am having trouble with OpenVPN. When I connect to my vpn with the network-manager, once it is connected it won't let me make non-vpn connections [20:17] !greek | gkmanos21 [20:17] gkmanos21: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [20:17] anicula: Sure, here is all the output: http://slexy.org/view/s21l1Jy2vI [20:18] scunizi: I actually meant for an external drive.

[20:19] thanks a3ist [20:19] scunizi: [20:20] a3ist: yes a script called 01ifupdown. by the way, i started dhclient on the cli, then restarted network manager, and i get an interesting message: "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping" [20:20] scunizi: no. Its for data. [20:20] U571, i use "openwise" i think and i punch in everything ilke normal accept i keep getting an lassa error [20:20] Linex: ah.. in that case you *can* format it as one partition if you want.. [20:20] a3ist: and before that it says "No DHCPOFFERS received" [20:20] Intel i7 cpu [20:20] a3ist: but it shouldn't be trying to dhcp. i added my manual settings in networkmanager but they won't appear [20:20] whats the proper place to put something like exports? [20:20] .profile ? [20:21] a3ist: maybe networkmanager isn't setting the manual ip settings correctly (or at all), causing dhcpclient to try to dhcp, then fail, then sleep [20:21] anicula: Its a Gigabyte MObo.. let me get teh specific number [20:21] carneades, unfortunately I feel like we're getting a little out of the territory I'm that familiar with [20:21] cat ~/.profile [20:21] ?

An exported environment variable? [20:22] Linex: typically you have to create a partition before you can format it.. otherwise the formatter won't recognize there's anything there to format [20:22] ratcheer: yes [20:22] a3ist: thanks anyway for your help. i really appreciate it. i'll give CLI manual IP a try: http://www.sematopia.com/2006/01/static-ip-from-command-line-in-ubuntu-server/ [20:22] ratcheer: well on my mac i put editor in .profile [20:23] ratcheer: i'm trying to find a happy medium between all this bash profile crap [20:23] webPragmatist: Oh, ok. Put it in .bashrc [20:23] cybrocop, seems it may be related to udevmonitor not starting, try sudo service udevmonitor start or restart and try starting libvirt again? [20:23] ratcheer: trying not to directly edit that though [20:23] ratcheer: is there a better place? [20:23] carneades, sure thing. Sometimes just that process of looking at how the automatic stuff is working underneath can help diagnose the problems, so its a good place to start; especially with the logs and autorun scripts. [20:24] ratcheer: for instance in .bashrc it mentions to create a .bash_aliases [20:24] Linex: parted works on cli.. man parted [20:24] T3CHKOMMIE : Cannot add Ubuntu 10.04 to Domain ??

[20:26] U571, thanks ill give it a go. [20:27] ZenMasta_: mv "Back Up" BackUp [20:27] with the quotes [20:27] quotes, okay thanks [20:27] ratcheer: it would be just alias='EDITOR -w' [20:27] or something?

I have tried changing my hostname ("sudo hostname foo") and main account real name thing using the Users Settings tool a couple times, but whenever I reboot, it's lost. [20:42] T3CHKOMMIE : DHCP is relaying address to Ubuntu?? [20:42] how can I choose the default desktop enviroment? [20:42] do you use gdm? [20:43] U571, ubuntu machine has valid ip address. [20:43] karelstraam1, gnome? yes [20:43] now yes [20:44] there should be the option to choose which enviroment (or window manager) you wanna you right at the login screen [20:44] as far as i know [20:44] T3CHKOMMIE : In DHCP can use see the ip address of the Ubuntu machine. [20:44] karelstraam1, sure, but for default starts kde, in the login i choose gnome [20:45] U571, yes machine name has .local on it as well... i wonder if it is already on AD [20:47] isn't it possible to set it from there? i'm pretty sure you can. you choose your enviroment and then you'll get asked if you want to use it just one more time or for ever === quentusrex_ is now known as quentusrex [20:47] I've got a 1TB external HD that's formatted NTFS, which gparted says has 7.5 GB free. However, I'm unable to copy a 175 MB file to it. Am I missing something? [20:47] is better to use grub or grub4dos? [20:47] U571, i dont think its on AD. there are a few machines that i know are not on AD. but they have .local on the end of their names accoding to the dhcp server. [20:47] so back to my question [20:48] is mkhybrid a standalone package or is it bundeled with anything else? [20:48] where i can find Backtrack irc server [20:48] tomatto_: grub (preferably grub2 IMHO) [20:48] dear all [20:49] where i can find Backtrack irc server?

For example, is ViM really better than gEdit? [20:52] !best | rocket16 [20:52] <|littlebear|> rocket16: yes [20:52] rocket16: 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. [20:52] so I had to use livecd setting i915.modeset=1 to boot my gateway laptop up for lucid to install, and after installation is complete, the laptop still freezes upon bringing up X even through the same kernel option is set up in grub. Any ideas? [20:53] <|littlebear|> rocket16: i find that gedit sometimes is slow in comparison to vim [20:53] rocket16, i think vim has a lot more features and is more powerful [20:53] littlebear: I see. Thanks though. [20:53] zleap: Hm, thanks. [20:53] <|littlebear|> rocket16: for a regular user, gedit is more than enough [20:53] rocket16: irssi is especially nice with screen, and vim allows you to work comforably without leaving the home row. [20:53] <|littlebear|> Jordan_U: hm? what's home row? [20:53] littlebear: I user Geany though, since I mainly need Programming. [20:54] how do I get ssh2 ? [20:54] hello there [20:54] Jordan_U: I see, thank you. [20:54] I installed lsh-client/server and i don't see ssh2/sshd anywhere or the config files for ssh2 [20:54] |littlebear|: Without moving your hands away from the main keys to where you'd have to reposition them to start typing again.

[20:55] google keeps telling me about some php-ssh2 plugin bullshit [20:55] MACscr, use Sound recorder to test [20:56] scott_ino2: when i did a test call, it seemed to reply with something, but it was completely garbled [20:56] |littlebear|: Yes, and moving with hjkl etc [20:56] scott_ino2: lol, i should have thought of that [20:56] sounded fine with it [20:56] hmm [20:57] Mac sometimes the test call is weird [20:57] U571, sorry this crap isnt working i was able to get my other machine on no problems.... guess its just not inthe cards. [20:57] and sound recorder would use pulse audio as well? [20:57] I just noticed that wpasupplicant and wireless-tools are installed on the "server" edition. Why is this? [20:57] HI, I need to install an audio driver, ALSA preferably, how should I go about doing this via shell? [20:57] MACscr, yes === alema0 is now known as alema0ff [20:57] scott_ino2: thanks! [20:57] MACscr, sometimes if you're using the mic on a laptop and not a headset youc an get echo, but other than that it should be fine [20:57] only way is to try [20:57] and call someone [20:58] scott_ino2: yeah, im using a headset, have for years. Will do a test call with real person =P [20:58] T3CHKOMMIE : working ??? [20:58] hey guys, how can i force the x-server to quit?

I know.. resno didn't say if it was a program or a library.. pulling some libraries in could potentially mess up other packages that depended on the previous version.. that's all I was saying. [21:44] (well, I also would if it were a laptop) [21:45] cousteau`irssi: okay. try the older kernel first, if it doesnt work, then I'd assume some hardware issue is causing the crash. but you might look at system logs.

[21:51] ok [21:51] handspiker2: -i alone isnt a command [21:52] in the ubuntu terminal [21:52] handspiker2, it doesn't do anything by itself, it would be AFTER another command [21:52] ok [21:52] I have 512 MB RAM on my Laptop, and for speed, I have disabled all Visual effects (I use them on my 2 GB RAM Desktop PC). So, is 512 MB enough for gnome-shell? [21:52] there is a guide saying to use dpkg -i what does that do [21:52] handspiker2: what guide?

As a matter of fact, is Ubuntu secure from intrusion, behind my firewall? [21:57] How to start Gnome-shell?

[22:01] Black_Phantom, i think jre is what you need [22:01] keebod: it was due for a death, unfortunately. Past 4.5 years, it is a miracle the CD/DVD drive worked [22:01] java runtime enviroment [22:01] keebod: also, most drives dont get to 4.5 years xD [22:02] i was lucky :P [22:02] indeed === richard is now known as nobdog [22:02] keebod: you'll need to find a computer parts store to find a replacement drive [22:02] U571: I'm not a programmer. I just want a safe to use, simple to use, email client that can't be hijacked by incoming email. Can you reccommend anything? I don't understand Postfix - as fact, i dont understand much of what I'm given here. I know there's no guarantee's. I'm looking for 80% probablilty of it working well, being secure, and simple to use. [22:03] CaptainTrek: well, should i go for a blue-ray drive? does 10.04 LTS support it? [22:03] hello everyone! how do I install a microsoft joypad on karmic? [22:03] keebod: or ask around and see if someone has a door stop they don't know what to do with.. you'll get more parts that way too :) [22:03] keebod: how old is your system? [22:03] am I looking in the right place, or is there knowledge which can help me in my lack of? [22:03] scunizi: offtopic [22:04] Astyx, my friend all I can see in the Ubuntu Software Center is OpenJDK Runtime is that the same as jre or I should go to java.com ? [22:04] keebod: how old is your system? [22:04] scunizi: i'm not sure whether you were talking to me in tech terms, i did not understand what you said :( [22:04] CaptainTrek: so is your question about the age of his system.. doesn't really matter how old .. he's got a dead drive [22:04] scunizi: to determine if his MoBo can handle bluray [22:04] he asked [22:05] i don't have Ubuntu Black_Phantom if someone said openjdk is fine, should be [22:05] keebod: if you need a new drive ask around and see if anyone has an old computer they don't use anymore.. lots of people have them. [22:05] Astyx, alright thanks mate [22:05] but scunizi, keebod just asked if a bluray drive was supported by 10.04 LTS [22:05] CaptainTrek: and that is also off topic.. ##hardware [22:05] first step is to see if his mobo can handle it [22:05] xD [22:05] Is OpenJDK runtime the same as JRE ? [22:05] indeed [22:05] CaptainTrek: well things kept on changing. its a system i made myself. the oldest part i had was this dvd drive which died today. the mobo is one year old. the gfx card two years old. proccy 2yrs. and so on [22:05] Black_Phantom: The sun java should be available from the canonical partners repository [22:06] keebod: mobo will handle a bluray drive, ask here though about if Ubuntu 10.04 LTS supports it. I dont use blueray drives [22:06] * CaptainTrek is on the phone now [22:06] arand: did they take it out of Main? [22:06] scunizi: my mobo is MSI P45 Platinum [22:06] Don't you find that keyring is absolutely useless thing? It's not work in way it had planed at all. E.g. I need 2 keeyring but evolution and Network manager use only one default keyring. And I have to keep zero password for it. [22:06] keebod: you're fine [22:06] nathanhelp : As you are familiar with Thunderbird ; try it. [22:07] keebod: not sure about blueray maybe ##harware can answer that one. [22:07] hello one query [22:07] scunizi: Friend, thanks for the help. But unfortunately, Gnome panel nearly runs at zero speed on my System, :( I used metacity --replace command, but the gnome-panels aren't working, so I used "gnome-panel" command.

[23:22] whats the best way to get widgets on ubuntu or how to activate them? [23:22] lfaraone, or ' ps ax | grep dnsmasq (or the appropriate daemon [23:23] then kill -9 (pid) [23:23] paranomos: I'll go look. It gives message with the first step NOT TO DO IT.

I don't know how to set the console keyboard mapping.

[23:26] paranomos: It said to run mysql upgrade, but when I did that, it also failed...just a minute with the bin [23:26] ok this has been a less than painless upgrade to 10.04 , now the application icons are missing from awn AND awn will not start at boot even when checked , any ideas ?

[23:30] how do I find out where an application is installed [23:30] Viking667: I did an apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client after doing corresponding removes to clear it out. [23:30] you can start mysql manual not with an init script and pass it debug arguments so it will log all the details and what when wrong [23:30] I put the command line in a terminal window and it popped up a window "Authorizations" [23:30] redsherpa, eradicating every trace of mysql from the planet is my problem .

[23:32] redsherpa, also if there are any config file in /etc/mysql remove the whole folder.Finally install mysql-server again and lets hope it works [23:32] lol it is not better... and you get what you pay for [23:32] and it ran faster [it seemed to anyway] under virtualbox, than it did wen i ran it under vpc === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:32] vic20gmr, VirtualBox on Ubuntu is wort a look I have a 9.10 host with 7 different guests running from perfect to almost [23:32] vic20gmr: the thing is i hate windows but the whole world except for a select few (us) run on windows and i just need vware to virtualize windows so i can get itunes [23:33] king11, if you're wanting a gui to convert real partitions into virtual-hardrive images, then virtualbox wont provide that... it only does this via cli [23:33] i dont care , personally, which is "better", the question is, "duz it do wut u need it to?"

I don't think it's with an rc script, is it with upstart? [23:41] paranomos which chipset uses your wifi? which kernel module? [23:41] startx [23:42] SOME1 said something about ATI PROPRIETARY driver ealier, cant find the text in history, duz any1 know if using a propr drvr increases vid performance? === hassan is now known as Guest15141 [23:42] hi [23:42] This is just laughable. I see a job "start mysql" in memory, so I try stopping it. The service mysql stop freezes the terminal, so I cancel it, but the thing is no longer in memory, and I now cannot reverse it...and nothing gets written to the /var/log/mysql area. [23:43] redsherpa: reboot maybe? [23:43] ive noticed that vide performance of urban terror [and others] isnt silky smooth like it was in karmic, any ideas? [23:44] video* [23:44] Agu10: Not an option. [23:44] neti Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Networrk Connection (rev 02).About the module how can i find it? [23:44] I'm on 9.10, not 9.04. [23:44] hey guys [23:44] Agu10: Perhaps after midnight tonight. [23:45] I am on 8.04.4 and the cpan shell is broken, it errors out when it uses Archive::Tar, please help! [23:45] yeah [23:45] I installed wine, and then steam and then counter strike source but it doesn't work very well, can someone help me? (most of the normal keys don't function etc) === vic20gmr is now known as vic20gmr[lucid] [23:47] It appears use of start leaves a job in memory that cannot be seen with ps...???? [23:47] bbl [23:47] redsherpa, maybe when you killed mysql a pid file was left and not problems arises [23:48] Okay, I'll kill the mentioned on and try again. Thanks. [23:49] Funny, I thought it used to be called mysqld. But I don't see that. BUT It is mentioning a mysqld.sock. What gives? [23:49] Has anyone had any issues with Empathy since the 10.04 upgrade? [23:50] wow 10.04 is the worst release ever... I have spent 10 hours trying to install it on a computer from 2003 which should be supported. no wonder it is not getting more traction on the desktop market than it is. sigh. [23:51] I guess I will just run winxp on that machine instead [23:51] Oh no! Just Installed Ubuntu a few day ago one 2 pc's... One running Windows XP & Ubuntu 10.04, the other just Ubuntu. It said there was an upgrade so I installed it. The PC with both OS won't boot now. Help! [23:52] anyone know how i can get a Windows XP Virtual Machine (virtualbox) to recognise my Ex-HDD? Its in the "USB Devices" section, but its blanked out??? [23:52] (same with my webcam) [23:52] Doing an upgrade. Looks like there is mysql server stuff outstanding, so perhaps that will fix it. [23:52] why do they make such a shitty release.. everything from not being able to read ATA drives, throwing errors on and after install. and when it finally is installed it wont boot. this is pathetic.. and yes, the disc / harddrive / cdrom is fine. [23:53] Fujk: Although not quite as angry as you (yet), I gotta agree. Had so much trouble with it [23:53] Fujk...your trying to install it on a computer from 2003? [23:53] 7 years ago? [23:53] !language | Fujk [23:53] Fujk: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:54] Monotoko: yes? [23:54] !language [23:54] shazbotmcnasty: find me a replacement word [23:54] yeah, ubuntu 10.04 is BRAND NEW...a brand new OS will have a problem with it...try something lighter (xubuntu) [23:54] !language | Nonpython [23:54] Nonpython, please see my private message [23:54] Well, can anyone help me out? Don't have a clue... [23:54] how about you don't b**ch about a release in here [23:55] this isn't the place for that [23:55] Monotoko: so what it should support older hardware [23:55] shazbotmcnasty: where to bitch? [23:55] Fujk, Windows 7 doesnt [23:55] i can guarantee 7 would not run on that [23:55] Fujk, how about in a pm to ubottu [23:55] Monotoko: I totally agree. Although 'stable' means a lot, or should [23:55] injekt, Windows 7 is stable...doesnt mean itl run on a PC from 2003 [23:55] Monotoko: I could probably get it running with win 7 but it would be a slow experience. [23:56] anyone know any websites for python tutorials [23:56] Helloo. My Fujitsu Siemens computer is running hot. How do I enable power management, cpu scaling, or speedstep.. or something to keep it cool [23:56] Monotoko: Yeah I know, I wasn't talking about that situation, just generally. Anyway, I'm not here to bitch. Just curious to see if anyone else has had issues with Empathy since the upgrade [23:56] xpike: http://diveintopython.org/ and http://www.python.org/doc/ aren't bad [23:56] the machine isnt bad, I have 3 gb ram, 2.0 ghz cpu, 500 gb hd, ide / ata etc. it's better than many computers you buy today that are not for gaming. [23:56] xpike: also, ask in #python [23:57] Fujk, precisely...its an aging computer, originally it had an aging OS...it is not going to be able to run a brand new OS properly...the ubuntu team are far from perfect and are mostly volunteers [23:57] im running ubuntu 10.04 in Vbox, i need to know how to add resolutions so that i can get full screen working...any help? [23:57] (they might have more info) [23:57] Ok thanks josh [23:57] np ^^ [23:57] hello Fujk sometimes other Linux distros work better on a computer than Ubuntu, but if your going to whine about a few things not just working, then just use Windows I guess [23:57] john_someguy, are you sure it's not just the way the computer is (i know many fujitsu-siemens laptops are really hot) [23:57] sebsebseb: few things? haha you mean nothing is working [23:58] dancek: wait... [23:58] paranomos i have found in the german opensuse forum that some access point are the problem ... ? ... ? sorry no more informations [23:58] anyone know how i can get a Windows XP Virtual Machine (virtualbox) to recognise my Ex-HDD? Its in the "USB Devices" section, but its blanked out??? [23:58] dancek: cpufrequtils-info gives: current CPU frequency is 800 MHz [23:58] iv installed the guest thingy [23:58] Fujk: only just got back to my computer, and saw some of this, which things exactly? [23:58] Monotoko: I guarantee I can get win 7 running on it [23:58] sebsebseb: nothing works, cant install, boot [23:59] john_someguy, what cpu is it? [23:59] dancek: its a celeron 1.7ghz.. so i guess speedstep works? [23:59] neti i dont think is the access point because ive been using the same laptop for 5 distributions till now.And this (10.04) is the only one that is having problems with wifi [23:59] Hello everyone [23:59] john_someguy, so it seems [23:59] Fujk: from a CD you made yourself? [23:59] dancek: its so anoying, the fan runs at 100% most of the time. stops 10 secs. then goes again! driving me nuts. how about undervolt? [23:59] !details | Fujk [23:59] Fujk: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....
