[00:00] Monotoko: what version of Vbox? [00:00] I finally could get it to install running pcmcia=off or whatever the first option was, but it still wont boot ater install, trying to install again with all_generic_ide ... will probably not work either [00:00] quick question can i install itunes on ubuntu [00:00] !android sdk ubuntu 10.04 [00:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:01] dlp211...3.2.0 x64 [00:01] ooo..beta...really [00:01] Fujk: have you checked your installing from a good CD, if you made it yourself, and no I guess you didn't do that [00:01] king11: not directly [00:01] sebsebseb: yes all is fine [00:01] !android [00:01] dlp211, i tried to install from the repos, it wouldnt have it [00:01] i've got errors anyone help [00:02] john_someguy, you might want to open the computer and use pressurized air to get all the accumulated dust out... i don't really know about kernel powersave features other than speedstep [00:02] Fujk: Have you tried a previous version of Ubuntu instead of 10.04? No I guess not. Have you tried another Linux distro? No I guess not. [00:02] I have double checked md5sum on iso, tried 3 cdroms, checked disc etc. [00:02] !details | Chuck27 [00:02] Chuck27: 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 ..." [00:02] john_someguy, someone else here might know more about linux cpu power management [00:02] dlp211: okay so then i will just do it through virtualbox, thanks for the quick reply [00:02] I have but one problem: I installed Ubuntu 10.04 via Alt. install cd because graphic install wouldn't load (black screen). Install went perfect, and then I rebooted; Black screen. Edited GRUB at startup by deleting "quite splash" and adding "i915.modeset=1" Now I can login, but only in "low graphics mode" In 9.10 I got compiz. Any suggestions? [00:02] I really dont want to run 9.10 or 8 ... [00:02] Fujk: lol [00:02] dancek: ok thanks. well i did try to clean it... maybe i should drill some holes :D [00:03] Fujk: since you think they are old? [00:03] Fujk: Newer is not always better! [00:03] i'm on 10.4 i've got 23 not fully installed or removed packages [00:03] hello, hov its posible that Brasero wont burn less than 40x, bu Nero on XP can burn even 16x speed? [00:03] !tell me about undervolting [00:03] john_someguy, how old is the computer btw? [00:03] can i get virtualbox from the ubuntu repositories [00:03] fujk: I don't blame you. 9.10 caused me problems with my ATI card [00:03] king11: Yes [00:03] dancek: manufactured late 2005... it's an Amilo Pro v2045 [00:03] yes i love ubuntu [00:04] I'm using gnome, and I'm having trouble getting amarok to recognise my Play Media key on my keyboard as a global shortcut. It'll accept it, but it won't actually work [00:04] sebsebseb: no, for the same reason I dont want to run win 98 [00:04] Fujk: if your getting issues with 10.04 and a lot of issues, after doing a clean install from a good CD. Well plenty of other distros you could try instead that will probably work better on there. Many of them are better than Ubuntu realy as well.

I reinstalled and now it hangs on "Restart now" haha [00:05] hey is this the method you guys recommend for syncing two servers https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClusterStack/LucidTesting#Overview === FiReSTaRT is now known as Guest97833 [00:05] "Pacemaker with DRBD" [00:05] I only have two servers to work with [00:06] for HA [00:06] sebsebseb, thats quite true...my maths is a lil off at this time of the morning [00:06] dancek: ok cool :) well, this is my first fujitsu... just bought it 2nd hand just to have a laptop. normally i'm on a stationary one [00:06] john_someguy, ok, well good luck with it :) [00:07] Fujk: Do you know that Ubuntu isn't the only Linux distro? Do you know what Linux distro is? Do you know that sometimes other distros work better on a computer? You can whine about Ubuntu not working like I saw you were doing before, or try a previous version, another distro, or do the insecure Windows, your choice. [00:07] dancek: i do believe there can be some serious undervolting to this machine. speedstep works fine, so it's getting too much juice :(( [00:07] any of you guys manage HA servers? [00:07] no cring for something that is free === F|ReSTaRT is now known as FiReSTaRT [00:07] dancek: thanks :) [00:07] sebsebseb: all others are pretty shit I dont want to be running different distros on all my machines [00:07] i'm on Ubuntu 10.4 and when i upgrade or download i get errors it says i have 23 not fully installed or removed [00:08] ok here comes the error when I boot it [00:08] !language [00:08] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:08] Is there an alternative to ubuntu when I want to use kde? I feel ubuntu dislikes kde :( [00:08] wizkoder: Kubuntu [00:08] ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/isajdkasjdkasja Dropping to Shell! BusyBox ... (initramfs) [00:08] Superduper [00:08] MichRT: Work really bad [00:08] hiexpo: poop? [00:08] john_someguy, happy to help! [00:09] wizkoder, you can use kubuntu [00:09] Does anyone knows whether firefox 3.6 supports HTML5 or what? [00:09] Fujk: no not at all, these are all good distros as well, Mandriva, PC Linux OS, and Fedora. Oh and for people that want something more complex, Gentoo, Slackware, and ArchLinux are also rather good. Linux is very much so about choice from the distros to the programs you have installed, not even this site has all the Linux distros since there are so many. http://www.distrowatch.com [00:09] wizkoder: Why? [00:09] mkhanyisi: there's like a hack for windows is all [00:09] mkhanyisi: partially suports [00:09] sebsebseb, you forgot debian :P [00:09] dont use good and mandriva / fedora in the same sentence lol [00:09] sebsebseb: you forgot Mint, Debian ;) [00:09] MichRT: Tried it? No UbuntuOne integration. I feel like second class using it :( [00:09] Fujk, - no read up [00:10] webPragmatist, zaxonspox, thanks guys. was just curious. [00:10] Fujk: paranomos makes a point I forgot Debian, which is basicaly Ubuntu, but without certain features that are sort of junk features, since Ubuntu is based on Debian. [00:10] john_someguy: no I don't recommend Mint [00:10] dude I know all the distros [00:10] hiexpo: is poop a family friendly word? [00:10] john_someguy: may as wel use Ubuntu, instead of Mint [00:10] wizkoder: Install the KDE interface over gnome in ubuntu [00:10] ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/isajdkasjdkasja Dropping to Shell! BusyBox ... (initramfs) [00:10] yes [00:10] sebsebseb: well its Ubuntu + plugins + design [00:10] Fujk: ok so what other distros have you tried? [00:10] 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? [00:10] Hello All [00:11] MichRT: Tried that? Nothing works correctly after that. I did that. That is no option [00:11] !hi [00:11] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [00:11] It says on boto: ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/isajdkasjdkasja does not exist. Dropping to Shell! BusyBox ... (initramfs) [00:11] sebsebseb, you said it wrong debian is not basically ubuntu.Its reversed.Ubuntu is like debian on steroids.Never forget your roots :) [00:11] i just attached three pngs to an email, and ff is all grey [asleep?], is it frozen nessecarily, or shud i just wait a min? [00:11] dlp211: did you install the guest additions? [00:11] the hal should take care of the rest [00:11] I need some help. How can i setup all my ubuntu ISO's up so i can boot up and install them? I h8 burning to CD and it's a waste! Ideas anyone? [00:11] alp211: add resolutions? They should show up once you have video drivers installed. maybe System > Administration > Hardware Drivers (in ubuntu) or the guest additions (in virtualbox) === beek_ is now known as kentb [00:11] paranomos: Ubuntu is like Debian, with certain features, that experienced users such as myself aren't that keen on, starting with 9.04. [00:11] yes i have 800x600 and 640 i need to add 1440 [00:11] Fujk can you just change it to shell [00:12] trungie: use a usb stick? [00:12] wizkoder: Well, I got nothing. If it's just UbuntuOne, I would google it some, then install Kubuntu. [00:12] Chuck27: how? I cant do anything [00:12] netech_ i was thinking of network boot somehow [00:12] MichRT: Due to driver regressions, some intel chipsets were blacklisted. In 10.04 the blacklist is hard coded into the compiz binary. So you'd either have to hex edit the compiz binary and remove your card id from the list, use karmic compiz packages or build compiz from source [00:12] trungie, use a usb drive [00:12] alp211: maybe try the guest additions === diana is now known as Guest41770 [00:12] Fujk, do you know which ATA controller the system has? [00:12] in older versions of ubuntu i could just edit xorg.conf....but it doesn't exsist anymore [00:12] I'm using gnome, and I'm having trouble getting amarok to recognise my Play Media key on my keyboard as a global shortcut. It'll accept it, but it won't actually work [00:12] i already add guest additions [00:12] dancek: no, is it on the mobo? [00:12] MichRT: Kubuntu works more or less if you upgrade to the ppa version. But the normal one will make the people searh for other options. Try it out and see for yourself [00:13] sebsebseb: most, debian is too slow on pushing out updates and development in general, fedora is just poop, slackware was fun 1998 [00:13] quick question, i have an iso of windows ultimate 7 and i am trying to install a virtual windows 7 through virtualbox but it seems that it needs a harddisk file to install [00:13] Fujk, yes.. do you know which chipset the motherboard is? [00:13] trungie: PXE [00:13] i need to know what config file to edit in order to give it more choices [00:13] asus a7vbx mobo [00:13] dlp211: is there anything in the Hardware drivers? [00:13] how do i turn the iso into an harddisk file [00:13] soreau: How would I go about doing that? I'd do anything to stay in 10.04 [00:13] trungie: http://www.r3uk.com/index.php/home/38-software/13-pxe-diskless-ubuntu-installation [00:13] Fujk, you can try debian unstable and you will have more updates that ubuntu 10.04 has :p [00:13] 10.04 seems to have major issues with ATA [00:13] let me take a look [00:13] I'm lucky there, I haven't struck that. [00:14] king11: in windows you can use 7zip [00:14] ... mind you, I struck another video-related issue [00:14] disclaimer: I'm not endorsing that site as the best way to do it. But it's a starting point for you. [00:14] Fujk, i do know that i've got a new laptop (apr 2010) whose SATA controller isn't supported by linux -- or rather, doesn't work because linux has a buggy AHCI implementation [00:14] netech_ thanks for the link i think i'll do that [00:14] I couldn't even install 10.04. Installer went all blank after a while :S :S [00:14] Fujk: Well sure if your using Debian Stable, but if your using DebianTesting, no not at all. Fedora is a bit more cutting edge than Ubuntu. Slackware isn't really for people who complain loads when something doesn't quite work, in a Linux distro. Oh and you probably never tried Mandriva or PC Linux OS both are rather nice. Anyway feel free to use Windows, or if you have the money buy a Mac. [00:14] what a time to need a shiva plug or something similar [00:14] dlp211: the thing is i am in ubuntu 10.04 [00:14] king11: standby [00:14] im using yahoo mail [00:14] I wouldn't actually recommend Mandriva over Ubuntu. [00:15] ... but that's me. [00:15] MichRT, I think that in the /usr/bin/compiz you can comment out the blacklisted intel chips. Thats what I did on 9.10 [00:15] dlp211: use a program named standby, okay is it in the repositories [00:15] Viking667: sometimes its a great idea to recommend Mandriva instead of Ubuntu [00:15] I'm running both here, I prefer Ubuntu. [00:15] it is a VIA chipset [00:15] don't send him to slack he will go crazy lol [00:15] roccity: Thanks! Will try now! [00:15] MichRT: I can't really help you much beyond that information because all of the possible workarounds are advanced hacks. And even if you did successfully bypass the checks, there is a chance compiz might fail with the version of the intel driver that ships with lucid [00:15] I like debian based system for the apt packaging system [00:15] Viking667: for example how pulse audio can just be disabled, or how a lot of wireless's that didn't just work in Ubuntu, will just work in that distro [00:15] king11: no no no...i meant actually standby [00:15] sebsebseb: you could just aswell call it mangina, thats how poop it is [00:16] roccity_: You can't do that in 10.04 anymore because they hard coded the checks into the compiz binary [00:16] dlp211: okay [00:16] Fujk: anyway your a troll, so feel free to use Windows [00:16] MichRT, yeah you might need to log out and then back in. [00:16] sebsebseb: no Im dissatisfied [00:16] My ubuntu 1- hangs unxpectedly , 2- my screen flicker every (10:15 min) Any ideas of the cause ? [00:16] sebsebseb: I got "rid" of pulseaudio merely by "mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio /usr/bin/some-other-name" [00:17] hiexpo: I used slackware in 98 and it was fun compiling for about a year, then it got really boring to update .. I have more important things to do [00:17] Fujk: ok well this isn't really a channel for complaining about Ubuntu, instead its meant to be used for support [00:17] soreau, ah I see [00:17] hello, hov its posible that Brasero wont burn less than 40x, bu Nero on XP can burn even 16x speed? [00:17] roccity_: One question; Which file do I edit? Not the executables, but which text? [00:17] that stops it taking up memory on my wife's Xubuntu's system and on my Ubuntu system. [00:17] sebsebseb: so do you have a real solution that does not inclde "try another OS" [00:17] what command would i use to find out what provides libdevmapper-event.so.1.02.1 ? [00:17] Fujk: well as I said before, Slackware isn't really for you [00:17] lis xubuntu better than ubuntu [00:17] MichRT, hold soreau just pointed out something about it. I'm checking on it now [00:17] Fujk: what are you trying to do again? Answer me in /priv [00:17] Chuck27: it's "lighter" [00:17] ok [00:18] Viking667: install ubuntu lol [00:18] Chuck27: but not by much, as it still has some gnome stuf [00:18] asus a7vbx with VIA chipset and ATA [00:18] Fujk: and? What issues you having? [00:18] this would be the equivelnt on "yum provides '*libdevmapper-event.so.1.02.1*' [00:18] roccity_: sweet [00:18] hi i was wondering if someone could help me, I have conky setup on my lucid install and for some reason everytime I click on a desktop icon or something it just disappears from the desktop. The process stays running but it just disappears. any ideas about this? [00:18] hm. Don't see why that's a problem. [00:18] king11: mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/iso [00:18] My ubuntu10.04 1- hangs unxpectedly , 2- my screen flicker every (10:15 min) Any ideas of the cause (dell inspiron 1545laptop)? [00:18] where filename.iso is the name of the iso [00:18] Fujk: already gave you a good idea earlier, try a previous version [00:18] Viking667: It says on boot: ALERT /dev/disk/by-uuid/isajdkasjdkasja does not exist. Dropping to Shell! BusyBox ... (initramfs) [00:18] dlp211: don't forget the -o loop,ro [00:18] king11: make sure you create /mnt/iso first [00:19] Fujk: or how about this for a solution, buy another computer? if you want Ubuntu and to be sure it just works, how about a pre installed Ubuntu Dell? [00:19] Fujk: yup. I know how to cure that one. Come on over to /msg for a moment [00:19] Viking667: why not keep it in channel? [00:19] what do you have on your panel abuayyoub? [00:19] sebsebseb: erm, shaddup for a mo. I'll get this uuid sorted. Then if he's got any more shit to solve we can bring it back. [00:19] dlp211: wait so i have to create a file or location on my filesystem /mnt/iso === filosofix is now known as filosofixit [00:19] sebsebseb. where do they sell dell with ubuntu? [00:19] I know I wouldn't mind knowing the solution to that [00:19] if any1 can giv me info/directions/where to continue looking for directions, on how to improve/troubleshoot video performance under lucid lynx, id muchly aprreciate it === freevryheid is now known as fvs [00:19] !language | Viking667 [00:19] Viking667: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:19] a folder [00:19] Looks like no matter what I do, my upgrade fails on the mysql server stuff too. Pretty irritating. I wonder if somebody knows about this problem? [00:20] sebsebseb. last time I asked support said they don`t have it anymore [00:20] sorry, I'm just getting sick of the slagging, even if it's warranted [00:20] Viking667: you have to use poop instead of the S word [00:20] MichRT, what chip is it? [00:20] nope nope. Can't even think that. [00:20] roccity_: Intel GMA 900 [00:20] Chuck27, Hi, I got Dockbar X and the stock things running. Also have docky running and compiz [00:21] Sonsee: Fujk http://www.ubuntu.com/dell and there is also http://www.zareason.com and for USA and Canada http://www.system76.com for pre installed Ubuntu [00:21] sebsebseb: my laptop dell runs ubuntu fine [00:21] sorry i have no idea [00:21] Sonsee: Fujk uh wrong link http://www.dell.com/ubuntu [00:21] Viking667: I hear ya buddy but please try to stay calm :) [00:21] but I dont just want to throw away this computer because it wont work lol [00:21] Chuck27, it's strange it loads up nice but when i click on any desktop icon it just vanishes [00:21] bah.

Gotta kill the evil side [00:22] Viking667: ok keep your wits about you in that case and please respect the channel rules.

On this only model they do NOT have it ;) [00:23] does egrep have lazy evaluation?

It says : #python :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [00:33] http://pastie.org/pastes/971880 [00:34] !register | xpike [00:34] xpike: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [00:34] gnomebaker i say also k3b brings in all the kde libs no good [00:34] IdleOne: thanks, will try, but, have any idea why i cant burn less than 40x? [00:34] zaxonspox: none at all :) [00:34] MichRT, ok let me see what else I can find [00:34] Sorry, I had some trouble with nickserv registry, so I needed to leave and come back... [00:34] abuayyoub: can you post your .conkyrc on pastebin or something? [00:34] yea sure [00:35] king11: that should have worked [00:35] roccity_: Thanks alot [00:35] king11: .... [00:36] is there a way to kill pulseaudio so it will stay dead, so I can load up a copy with debugging enabled/ [00:36] ? [00:36] Zeike, Hey, looks like I got a fix. if you put own_window_type override before the TEXT it stops it from disappearing. [00:36] thanks you anhhow [00:36] anyhow [00:36] killall [00:36] hello all, I need to know the mint support channel [00:36] abuayyoub: yeah I was going to suggest something like that ;) [00:37] !mint [00:37] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [00:37] dlp211: i am trying to type it again to make sure i typed the correct location as capital letters matter and other little detail stuff [00:37] Zeike, thanks alot man [00:37] ! [00:37] kind11: kk [00:37] does anyone know what apt-file has been superceded by? [00:38] !panels [00:38] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:38] i'm using 10.04 and apt-file doesn't seem to be available [00:38] Hello, how can I set a greeting message to be displayed any time I open a gnome-terminal? I thought there would be all kinds of stuff if I googled it, but I can't seem to find anything... I found the /etc/motd but that doesn't seem to work.. [00:38] I recently upgraded to Lucid, and with it, to Thunderbird 3. Is there a way to revert thunderbirds search box (top right) back to the old style? (I prefer the quick filter to a full search engine) [00:39] What starts X in upstart? I thought it was gdm, but when X has worked and I do initctl list gdm is listed as stop/waiting [00:39] This particular "upgrade" is seriously hindering my productivity :( [00:39] dlp211: nope, this is what it gives me: Usage: mount -V : print version [00:39] mount -h : print this help [00:39] mount : list mounted filesystems [00:39] mount -l : idem, including volume labels [00:39] So far the informational part. Next the mounting. [00:39] king11: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:39] The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'. [00:40] people, has anyone compiled the broadcom STA wireless driver succesfully? [00:40] i'm having trouble [00:40] :D [00:41] how can i find the launch code for NetworkManager I I jst want the NW not the whole Notification area [00:41] What errors are coming up? [00:41] Do you have build-essencials installed? [00:41] dlp211: sorry about that, didn't know [00:41] MichRT, does it say that effects can't be enabled when going to apperance-->visual effects? [00:42] dlp211: did you get to see the message or did the floodbot take it away [00:42] king11: no i saw it [00:42] dlp211: know anything else I can try to get the iso loading into a hard disk image [00:42] roccity_: That, and when I boot up, it says it has to start in "low graphics mode" [00:42] king11: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmout-iso-images-without-burning-them.html [00:43] king11: go down to loop kernel module [00:43] king11: follow instructions [00:43] IdleOne: men! i see even 1x speed [00:44] zaxonspox: yup [00:44] dlp211: okay, will tell you how it goes [00:44] king11: roger === william is now known as Guest90955 [00:45] MichRT, sorry mate battery died :) [00:46] roccity_: It's all good. [00:46] MichRT, what if you boot into recovery mode and then drop to a shell and type X -configure [00:46] MichRT, what this does is create a xorg file in /root that you can cp to /etc/xorg.conf [00:47] MichRT, you will need to rename the file to xorg.conf [00:47] Anyone who has taken Linguistics 101 and actually paid attention would be well aware that English uses no subjunctive tense. For you see, gerunds and participles aren't tenses, my friend. As much as I enjoy your witticisms and laughably incorrect "facts", I'd prefer that you research it. [00:47] MichRT, it sounds like a lot but it sounds like it is only using the vesa driver which is a fall back one [00:48] Hi guys [00:48] hi, is there a way to obtain a jaunty live-cd image that is up to date in terms of upgrades? [00:48] roccity_: alright, and after that? [00:49] how do I find out what version of perl I have? [00:49] hey fellas are there any other music players that are just as good if not better than rhythmbox? [00:49] MichRT, hit ctrl d and it should resume the boot. And jump back on here and I can talk you through the rest [00:49] i have problem with VPN in ububtu 10.4 [00:50] roccity_: alright. I'm going to right all that stuff down and get cracking. Wish me luck [00:50] i use KVpnc [00:50] thebruce: try out amarok , it rocks [00:51] meh. Don't like amarok. [00:51] but after connect can not open page [00:51] hello, [00:51] * wildbat o.o/ [00:51] Hi [00:51] MichRT, good luck mate [00:52] just upgraded my HP dv7 laptop to Ubuntu 10.04, from time to time I have a complete freeze of the GUI and the keyboard, anyone with a similar problem ? [00:53] GeekSquid, i need to check out amarok again. i could not get any playback on 9.10 [00:54] dlp211: I am having a problem of loading the loop [00:54] thebruce: you need xine [00:54] Craig_Dem, sorry i went out [00:54] dlp211: on the site it just says squashfs is a loop but does not tell you how to put it on [00:55] Craig_Dem, question was for me? i'll pastebin what's wrong [00:55] Yeah [00:55] I lick my own fecal matter from time to time, it's not as bad as you'd think. I even got my old girlfriend to try it, I talked it about it for so long, I actually convinced her to wipe me after a dump with her tounge. She got stabbed by some guy 2 months later. [00:56] wrong channel [00:56] king11: thats the best i can do.....you can keep googling around [00:56] !offtopic | pynchon [00:56] pynchon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:04] roccity_: permissions denied, but it found it [01:04] ok sorry do sudo -s [01:05] hey, is the DVD iso image of ubuntu official or community backed [01:05] vic20gmr[lucid], ATI tells me that the last driver for the 9600 was the 10.2 Driver [01:05] MichRT, this will give a root prompt with out having to type sudo with everything [01:05] roccity_: got it [01:05] vic20gmr[lucid], http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.24&lang=English [01:05] Does anyone know how to bridge my laptop ports so that my desktop computer (no wireless) and use my laptop wired port to connec to my network?

[01:07] update-grub [01:07] i gess that at least part of lag prob [01:07] jjido: update-grub will re-create grub menu [01:07] what is the program that is the gui for grub? [01:07] vic20gmr[lucid], Ubuntu probably uses the opensource drivers :) === IdleOne is now known as IdleUno [01:08] gblfxt, alt f1 [01:08] roccity_, I opened a root terminal, cd /root and typed ls. it says xorg.conf.new [01:08] Craig_Dem: is it me you can't help? [01:08] MichRT, cool almost there [01:08] Craig_Dem, no prob, thanks for your time, i'll post it on the forums to see if time helps my luck. Broadcom ppl haven't answered my mails [01:08] hello again :> i know this is probably a silly question, but how would i verify under 10.04 that my home directory is actually being encrypted if i selected the option? i'm used to having full disk encryption in fedora [01:08] now type mv xorg.conf.new xorg.conf [01:08] IdleUno, - lol why the change?] [01:09] jjido: No [01:09] ok [01:09] MichRT, then when you type ls again it should show that the file is now xorg.conf [01:09] jjido: a simple update-grub will do it [01:09] roccity_, nice, thanks! [01:09] prower: Log out of the use with encryption, log in as another user, and ls /home/you/ [01:09] roccity_ when I type ls, it gives me xorg.conf.new still [01:09] s/use/user === IdleUno is now known as IdleOne [01:10] MichRT, did you type mv xorg.conf.new xorg.conf [01:10] hiexpo: good question [01:10] Jordan_U: I never thought of trying that, I figured the permissions wouldn't allow another user to ls your home directory anyway :> hmm [01:10] hiexpo: no good answer [01:10] roccity_ oh, no. Will now [01:10] wyfrn_: OH YEAH thaaaank you! [01:10] holas [01:10] prower: Even if it doesn't, you can "sudo ls /home/you" [01:11] IdleOne, :( [01:11] roccity_ All good [01:11] ilya des personne ki parle FR?? [01:11] jjido: np [01:11] IdleOne, :) === wyfrn_ is now known as wyfrn [01:11] abdellatif, in #ubuntu-fr [01:11] MichRT, cool now type cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/ [01:11] Does anyone know how to bridge my laptop ports so that my desktop computer (no wireless) and use my laptop wired port to connec to my network? [01:11] Jordan_U: Yes, that's true :> Thanks for the suggestion...having unencrypted writes to disk seems a bit insecure though, maybe there's an easy way to get full disk encryption up and running without reformatting [01:11] MichRT, and this will copy it to your X11 directory [01:12] MichRT, once you do this will look at the file [01:12] MPX: im looking at the link [and others from that link] and im lost, idk wut to pick [01:12] prower: The writes to disk aren't unencrypted (except outside your home directory, and what private data do you have anywhere else?) [01:12] MichRT, hold on be right back union break [01:12] how do you make bluetooth stay visible permanently ? ubuntu 10.04 hp laptop bluetooth. it also resets friendly name on reboot [01:12] lisa_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge [01:12] Jordan_U: Ahh, I see...that makes more sense, I wasn't aware of how it worked in 10.04 [01:13] prower: Note that if you are logged in as the user with the encrypted home, the ecryptfs will be mounted and so an ls as root will see the files as being there. [01:13] http://pastebin.com/JLP7rVLz According to just about everything I can test, this computer is not connected to the outside internet. Everything high-level(http, etc.) works. Everything low-level(tcp, udp, etc.) doesn't. I'm horribly confused. [01:13] vic20gmr[lucid], I wouldn't mess with it. Earlier catalyst drivers (even up to this day) are prone to crash your X [01:13] If it aint broke, don't fix it [01:13] !ics | lisa_ [01:13] lisa_: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [01:13] it is broke, nothing is smmoth [01:13] roccity_ it says it cannot create regular file '/ect/X11/': no such file or directory [01:13] almost everything i do req's 3d accel [01:14] question [01:14] MPX: almost everything i do req's 3d accel [01:14] when i go to you tube or videos sites [01:14] and i scroll up or down i get a black screen [01:14] on firefox [01:14] MPX: AND NOTHING IS AS SMOOTH AS IT WAS IN KARMIC [IN WHICH SOUND DIDNT WORK] [01:14] Thanks! [01:14] Shishire: I'm not sure I understand. HTTP, etc, run over TCP, so if they are working, so is it. Do you have a firewall that would be blocking the traceroute traffic? [01:14] MPX: sry caps [01:14] black patch of screen [01:15] vic20gmr[lucid], no need for caps [01:15] vic20gmr[lucid], read this for more info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1468484&highlight=9600 [01:15] My notebook acpi support fails when doing a normal boot, but works after waking up from suspend to disk.

But all the utilities I have to trace tcp, udp, etc, are reporting that nothing's connected. Except everything works :/ I'll check if I somehow got a firewall, although I didn't install one, so... [01:16] hi all ... I'm running a Karmic Ubuntu server and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" is not upgrading to Lucid ... any ideas what might be going on? [01:16] Shishire: How are you connected to the Internet? I meant, do you have a firewall device between your computer and your Internet connection. [01:17] MichRT, try cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:17] vic20gmr[lucid], http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1451727 . Your chipset is the R350 as far as I know [01:17] It might work [01:17] anybody know how to use command-completion while i'm using pacman in arch ? [01:17] Where does Ubuntu save wireless information? I formatted root when going from 9.10 to 10.04, but when I got on 10.04, it seemed to remember my networks and auto connected to my wifi. What the? I thought that was a system thing and not a home-user thing? [01:17] when i installed ubuntu it asked me to create an admin account [01:17] how do i change that name? [01:17] I'm connected via 802.11g to a router which is connected via ethernet to a modem. The modem is connected to the net proper. I have a local address, 192.168.1.105. [01:17] roccity_ It says missing destination file [01:18] Roasted: network manager takes care of most of those things 'automagically' [01:18] mpx: it is r350 [01:18] hola a todos [01:18] MichRT, type cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:18] vic20gmr[lucid], then it might work [01:18] jose -> you may want #ubuntu-es [01:18] MichRT, sorry [01:18] Shishire: If you have a 192.168 address, you have a firewall of some type between you and the Internet. [01:18] seattlegaucho, right. I just didn't expect it to save my settings. I also had some issues with network manager in 10.04, so I reinstalled again. 99% done with that install now. That's why I was curious if anything in my home directory would have effected the botchy performance I got with it. (such as, I was connected, yet it said I was disconnected) [01:19] Hello, I have ubuntu server installed on a machine, I would like to copy it with all the data to an img and then install it on two other machines, is there a tool to do that ?! [01:19] i dont speak ingles [01:19] I want to keep the same configuration, users, etc. [01:19] jose: el canal #ubuntu-es es todo español [01:19] roccity_ says it can't create regular file [01:19] ks3, well, the router. But it's configuration is saying that it's allowing everything through. Plus, I can actually connect to everything, so... [01:19] MichRT, what?? [01:19] y donde encuentro ese canal ? [01:19] Since upgrading to 10.04 I have not been able to suspend. If I attempt to suspend the only thing that happens is that the screen goes black for a second, then it goes to the "type password to unlock" screen. [01:20] jose, /join #ubuntu-es [01:20] jose: usa "/join #ubuntu-es" [01:20] Shishire: If the issue is simply ping / traceroute not working, you could try hping - it has many more options [01:20] sin las comillas (") [01:20] MichRT, are you still root? do you see the # in the prompt? [01:20] roccity_ The exact words are: cp xorg.conf /ect/X11/xorg.conf [01:20] cp: cannot create regular file `/ect/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory Yes, still in root [01:20] gracias [01:20] ya logre entrar [01:21] MichRT, you are typing it wrong it's /etc [01:21] MichRT, not /ect [01:21] roccity_ Oooooohhhh. My bad [01:21] MichRT, it's straight [01:21] roccity_ All done with that [01:22] how do i update samba 3.0. to samba 3.4 on ubuntu 8.04 [01:22] MichRT, ok now cd /etc/X11 [01:22] michael__ download it from the samba website [01:22] MichRT, once in there type nano xorg.conf [01:22] I am having trouble setting my screens native resolution of 1400x1050. It doesn't show up on the list of resolutions. Also there doesn't appear to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore. and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't seem to do anything at all.. it doesn't even give any output whatsoever.. [01:23] will it erase all my configs running with ldap and such [01:23] roccity_ OK [01:23] MichRT, are you in the xorg.conf file? [01:23] laputa: You should probably ask the arch people instead, installing bash-completion, if not alredy installed, might be a tip. [01:23] roccity_ Yes [01:23] well this is wired [01:23] my webcam worked once then whont work [01:23] Can someone suggest to me some log files (or something) that I can check to diagnose why my laptop no longer suspends after upgrading to Lucid? [01:23] MichRT, scroll near the bottom and you should see driver "intel" or "vesa" [01:23] mpx: do u happen to kno if it is easy to undo if i try these drivers? [01:24] MichRT, what does it say? vesa or intel? [01:24] vic20gmr[lucid], sorry no. You should read the forum link for more descriptions.

[01:41] abuayyoub: right click on the panel, and "Add to Panel..." Follow your nose from there. [01:42] CaptainTrek: probably [01:42] rsb_, winff is the gui, it uses ffmpeg [01:42] abuayyoub: maybe you could disable notifications, if those are what annoy you.

[01:43] hiexpo: for haml [01:43] CaptainTrek: you can always use "make uninstall" to uninstall it [01:43] erpingham, yea they do annoy me, but also I would like to remove some of the icons. I dont use the bluetooth icon or the mail icon i use only volume and network manager, however, I can't seem to find them as individual applets [01:43] CaptainTrek: why compile when ruby1.9.1 is in the repo [01:43] roccity_ It's OK. You were a big help, and besides, my laptop is just dumb. Over and out! [01:43] * CaptainTrek sends to bukayo: trust me, i tried with repos version, it didnt work. [01:43] abuayyoub: click the bluetooth icon, click preferences, uncheck the "Show bluetooth icon" [01:44] when i try to restart my networking i get "dont seem to be have all the variables for eth0/inet.

[01:45] if there is, I betcha that one of the ops will +q me because of my being angry [01:46] sebsebseb: btw installing an older version is retarded 1. they are not supported after a few years 2. if 10.04 doesnt work I can never upgrade, and if I upgrade I am probably ruining my entire machine === derp is now known as lol [01:46] no need to compile anything from source unless your compiling things / // that some items are not available because it will compileit self [01:46] erpingham, ok cool thanks that takes care of bluetooth, what about adding NetworkManager Applet & Volume as a solo applets so I can just remove the notification area? [01:46] Fujk: 9.10 is supported untill the end of April next year, same thing for 8.04 the previous LTS which is rather stable by now. [01:47] hiexpo: I tried to use haml with the repos version, but it had tons of issues, so i had no choice xD [01:47] abuayyout: they don't seem to be available as solo applets. Try to figure out a way to remove the mail icon, and disable the notifications. That should achieve the same functionality. [01:48] Zeike: no issues so far. [01:48] Zeike: so now that its done... sudo make install? [01:48] sebsebseb: yes and after that? I would be screwed using an old install for 3 years [01:48] CaptainTrek: you did make and it finished without error? [01:48] yes [01:48] then yeah, try sudo make install [01:49] and with this 10.04 track record I am sure they wont fix it in next release either, my mobo is fricking 7 years old, it should WORK [01:49] abuayyoub: they don't seem to be available as solo applets. Try to figure out a way to remove the mail icon, and disable the notifications. That should achieve the same functionality. [01:49] Fujk: could you please use less colorful language [01:49] Fujk: obfuscated cursing is still cursing. [01:49] Zeike: i assume that this can take a while? [01:50] CaptainTrek: the make install should take less than the actually make, its just moving files [01:50] IdleOne: lol [01:50] actual* [01:50] eradicus, yea, if I can just manage to get it to stop displaying which applications are running then i would be happy. you know if you are running vlc then it shows the little icon there. I hate that because it messes up my kick azz theme :D [01:50] Fujk: I'm not joking. [01:50] anyone know where you add additional resolution arguments so that i can change my resolution [01:50] IdleOne, - there trying to learn how to hack /// no mercy [01:50] abuayyoub: you can usually disable that within the application itself. I know you can disable vlc's icon in its preferences [01:51] Zeike: well, it seems to work, same procedure if i need to compile rubygems from source? extract, ./configure && make, sudo make install? [01:51] how do i make TTY display CJK fonts in the filename correctly ? all it shows now is a diamond. And is there a CJK ime for tty ? [01:52] CaptainTrek: yeah, thats generally the procedure for most source packages. [01:52] CaptainTrek: and remember, if you use "make uninstall" you can uninstall it as well [01:52] mmkay [01:52] shouldnt be an issue [01:52] zaraz walka [01:52] CaptainTrek: "make clean" will remove some unnecessary files from the source directory to save you some space too [01:52] Hey all, I'm having some trouble with my terminal consoles.

[02:32] Fujk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#Pros_and_cons [02:33] Guest86115: the 2nd one on the list, xserver-xorg-video-intel is what you want to make sure is installed [02:33] Jordan_U: Yeah I knew the > is to redirect output. Does that work with starting an app from command line? So when it crashes or gthe error happens I can restart and come back to read the errors after. That work that way too? [02:34] LinuxGuy2009: Yes [02:34] Zeike, a vos te chifla el orto [02:34] Is it possible to add an entry to fstab to prevent certain drives from ever being mounted except manually by root?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[02:46] sebsebseb: the steps for mounting iso is not working [02:46] rumpsy: uhmm you don't upgrade using the ISO [02:46] so there is no way to completely remove eclipse and its plugins from the system? [02:46] repeating: the login sound will not shut off when i set it to via System->Administration->Login Screen, Ubuntu 10.4 [02:46] reya2276: just delete the files [02:46] i hav found fglrx drivers in software center, will these improve my perf, and duz any1 have any reason[s] i shudnt install these?

[02:48] any suggestions are welcome [02:48] rumpsy: your meant to be backing up data that you want to keep for ages, some where else anyway, since hard disks can just fail [02:48] stevecam have you checked the man page or maybe the config files? [02:49] repeating: the login sound will not shut off when i set it to via System->Administration->Login Screen, Ubuntu 10.4 [02:49] IdleOne: i followed the steps from ubuntu to upgrade from iso file, its not working [02:49] rumpsy: Try pressing alt+F2 (or opening a terminal) and running "update-manager -c" [02:49] rumpsy: use the Alternate CD [02:49] rumpsy: you can't use the desktop cd to upgrade [02:50] i want upgrading from cdrom [02:50] cdrom or iso file on my desktop [02:50] IdleOne: not sure, but I think for rumpsy to be able to upgrade using the alternate, that he would have needed to of installed from the alternate in the first place for 8.04. [02:50] i have checked the config and man pages [02:50] ok have you tried the transmission forums? [02:50] sebsebseb: nope [02:50] is your firewall blocking the application? [02:50] sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 , this thing i did first [02:51] then i'm not getting any prompt [02:51] sebsebseb: what rumpsy needs is to slow down and listen to the advice given and read the links provided. [02:51] anyone know how to start the command line only install from alternate cd and the boot: prompt? normally it would be F6, command line only install... however i don't get that since its a rack machine instead of a vga machine.. [02:51] bbl [02:52] rumpsy: burn the Alternate CD iso to a cd and then reboot with the Alternate CD in the tray. at the prompt chose Upgrade [02:52] !alternate | rumpsy [02:52] rumpsy: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [02:52] IdleOne: the problem is i'm not prompt to upgrade [02:53] i hate running upgrades [02:53] rumpsy: NO the problem is you are doing it wrong. [02:53] I'm looking for a particular python app, it's not supervisord, it's not god, monit, runit, but it's super similar. Anyone happen to maybe have an idea? (Process monitoring/restart/etc) [02:53] rumpsy: go to those links we have given you and read them carefully before running commands [02:53] stevecam: they tend to work well for me:) and take a while [02:53] Will fsck run on an unformatted drive? [02:53] IdleOne: Actually, upgrading via loop mounting should work [02:53] IdleOne: i'll check once again [02:54] sebsebseb, i just ran a fresh install when 10.04 came out, when i updated from 9.04 to 9.10 i got all sorts of tiny little problems [02:54] Jordan_U: yes it should but we also need to take into consideration the users skill level.

I can freely read/write to all these network folders. When I start anr run the actual [03:22] email programs, they eventually hang for some reason. The case of Opera is easy to reproduce: when I start it the first time, it can create its three first files in the "~/.opera" directory, then it hangs. I am puzzled.

[03:24] too many tools these days break when given a non-POSIX filesystem [03:24] !ask | abe [03:24] abe: 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. :-) [03:24] slinkeey: Right click > Add to Panel > Window List [03:24] un214, scunizi, I do not understand why I would use an image file system. I just want to have my files in Windows directories [03:24] !details | abe [03:24] abe: 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 ..." [03:25] I cannot get sound to work on my ibm thinkpad minimal karmic install [03:25] Jordan_U, that was easy [03:25] then get used to saving them locally and running a backup program [03:25] Lucid 10.04....Vlc player tracks are playing.....But no sound...Rhythmbox also has no sound [03:25] Jordan_U, thanks [03:25] slinkeey: You're welcome. [03:25] tried 5 clean installs of various distros [03:25] question how do i get my virtual machine to recognize the usb ports in virtualbox and ubuntu 10.04? [03:25] still no sound [03:25] abe: Whats the actsual problem? [03:25] I have a problem with my ubuntu when it starts up. Once I choose which OS to boot it goes to load, however, it reaches a stall screen with no responses. [03:26] Arthur___: you will need the version from the website/webserver [03:26] rickon, maybe you should....get drivers, turn the volume up, plug speakers in, mess with alsa or pulse audio [03:26] un214: maybe I could do this, but both samba and nfs shares are suposed to work [03:26] hey guys, i can't boot windows7 [03:26] so I am first trying to fix this [03:26] Arthur___: also there is a page about setting up USB support on the offical Ubuntu help site, but not sure of the link [03:26] with no error massages [03:26] DingGGu: not good [03:26] So, I got the LiveCD and install a smaller partion making 2 ubuntu OS and 1 windows [03:26] i've tried all of that over and over [03:26] ha... [03:26] For printing, should i install CUPS or CUPSYS? [03:26] Guest37205: I almost missed un214 's posts because he's not using nicks.. I think what he's saying is windows uses a non posix file system and can be prone to errors.. an image file *I think* can be made to look like a posix file system. [03:26] all the documentation on help.ubuntu [03:26] the forums [03:26] DingGGu: i had same problem, I reinstalled and is wroking fine now [03:26] This problem happened after i upgraded my ubuntu to 9.04 [03:27] Guest37205: samba works just fine; however the resulting filesystem is not POSIX [03:27] oops, i can't reinstall.. [03:27] abe: What problem? [03:27] @sebsebseb [03:27] un214: I know samba should work, I've been using it for years [03:27] abe: I don't know what problem you have, your not being clear [03:28] @sebsebseb when i upgrade my ubuntu to 9.04 the screen to login to ubuntu is not coming up [03:28] Guest37205: way too many programs these days assume POSIX filesystem [03:28] but I can't understand why the execution of email programs referring to data on a samba mount fails [03:28] Hello, everyone === ElementalDra is now known as ElemDragon [03:29] @sebsebseb do you understand me? [03:29] because the program in question assumed something was true about the filesystem that wasn't [03:29] abe: ok log in screen is not showing, when your on which version? [03:29] how do i transfer large files (one huge 7gb file) on ubuntu to an external hd? i always get "file too large" error whether i do it on nautilus or unison [03:29] maybe it tried to create a named pipe, failed, got a regular file when it reopened it, and got confused [03:30] maybe it tried link(2) for file locking [03:30] will some1 help me understand something? i tried installin fglrx drivers with software center, and they dont seem to work, i have removed them with pkg mangr [03:30] wers: might be an odd question, but how is the external drive formatted? [03:30] wut options r there for me to improve video performance? [03:30] ElemDragon, fat32 or ntfs. lemme check [03:30] un214: I used two NFS server programs on XP, by two different companies, and I stayed away from Microsoft's stuff [03:30] Strange! When I issue iptables with the masq command, they are just ignored... Nothing changes in the iptables -L output... Other policy's change just fine. Anyone else using MASQ with iptables in 10.04? [03:30] @sebsebseb when i am on version 9.04 it does not work. I don't know how to reverse the upgrade, so , i installed another ubuntu OS on top of windows. the screen does not answer back after some minimal loading [03:31] abe: if you been upgarding from 9.04 and now have a problem. Maybe just clean install 10.04, since you won't have Ext4 file system or Grub 2 anyway. [03:31] DingGGu: jsut use windows partition for extra space :) [03:31] dont boot it [03:31] i need help getting a Belkin F5D8011 up and running on Ubuntu 9.10 [03:31] is anyone familiar with soundcard/driver configuration? I'm pretty sure that is the problem [03:31] Guest37205: maybe they assumed case sensitive filesystem [03:31] ElemDragon, okay fat32 [03:31] yea..... that's your problem [03:31] abe: What do you mean on top of Windows? [03:31] @sebsebseb that was going to be my last option, because i have alot installed [03:31] t.t [03:31] @sebsebseb ubuntu installed from windows [03:31] FAT32 has a file size limit.... i forget exactly what, but i know it's far less than 7GB [03:32] ElemDragon, okay. if i format to ext3, am i fine? [03:32] abe: ok you used Wubi? [03:32] FAT32 file size limit = 4GB - 1 byte [03:32] hi [03:32] how can I boot into ubuntu and got straight to the console (not running GDM)? [03:32] @sebsebseb i think i did :) [03:32] wers, not exactly sure. never really dealt with Linux file systems too much [03:32] un214, ElemDragon how about the source? doesnt make a diff if it's from ext3 or ext4? [03:32] abe: Ok so you don't have a proper partitoined install that was made after you booted your computer from the Live CD? [03:32] 10.04 failed miserably on my server... I had to back it down to 9.10. Lockups where I had to hard reset the system... Also, the 10.04 CD would not run on that system, but worked on others... [03:33] is there a supernoob # so i can have better chances of being at least acknowledged? [03:33] ext3 is fine [03:33] well.... if the source can hold a 7GB file.... then there wouldn't be any sort of issue [03:33] lisa_: oh server, so server edition? [03:33] No, it's not much of a server... Just bind and dhcpd [03:33] vic20gmr: under appearance [03:33] ? [03:34] lisa_: oh ok, and yeah sometimes a previous version is better [03:34] lisa_: or another distro even :D === computer_ is now known as ryaxnb [03:34] the problem comes into play when you try to transfer a file from a file system that can hold a large file to one that can't. FAT32 isn't one of those that can handle large files [03:34] Strange though, I could ssh to the virtual machine on the desktop when it was locked up, but not to the host system.. [03:34] ElemDragon, ok.so the issue just lies in the receiving end. got it. *high five* [03:34] yep [03:35] lisa_: I think that kind of stuff can be set up. Which vm software? Virtualbox? [03:35] @sebsebseb i do have a small perfect partition working enough to try to fix my main ubuntu paritition. I can boot to terminal with networking capabilites. Should i try to upgrade from terminal to 10.04? and what is the code for that? [03:35] i mean... you could always split the file somehow.... but then you'd still run into the issue if you were to transfer another large file later on [03:35] Greetings. Installing 10.04 LTS x64 server on HP ML150 G6 from USB drive created with PenDriveLinux Universal Installer. "Load installer components from CD" fails. How do I get past this? [03:35] VirtualBox. I use it for my PBX [03:35] hello, i'm attempting to connect two computers through a hub (no DHCP no internet connection) how do i set up the manual ip? [03:35] can some one help me set up a PCMCIA card [03:36] p3t3r, what distro? [03:36] lisa_: ok theres a good manual you can get from http://www.virtualbox.org server plus you can get support in #vbox [03:36] plr: appearance? u mean seting up the "amount" of eyecandy? [03:36] No problem with virtualbox [03:36] @lisa ubuntu now, ideally two xboxes later [03:36] I've got a VPS with 5 IPs on it, and I can't get a server I'm trying to host on there to bind to the desired IP [03:36] p3t3r: you can do it with network manager but I've never been able to get the settings to stick through a reboot.. so now I use wicd [03:36] It's the host that's giving me grief... Not not since I went back to 9.10 [03:37] pLr: appearance? u mean seting up the "amount" of eyecandy? [03:37] @p3t3r: http://bit.ly/c5eYsv [03:37] @but what should i enter for 'default gateway'? [03:37] I'm having a bit of an installation issue with 10.04 x64 myself [03:37] this is my current alsa info http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=e25f69727d454101b52556b15a444c66d93525c6 [03:37] @sebsebseb i am going to attempt to upgrade my ubuntu from terminal to 10.04. maybe with the upgrade i can fix the screen resolution or screen not showing problem [03:37] scunizi, it's a ubuntu desktop install with remote connection.. for example, right now with the monitor hooked up and I reboot.. I can login .. if i take the monitor off, reboot, i can never get on via TightVNC, however SSH works [03:37] abe: uhmm [03:37] p3t3r: you don't have to worry about that.

[03:38] what is the command to suspend the laptop (ie. the command that is run when you click the "suspend" option in the logout menu)? [03:38] DrDamnit: that issue being? [03:38] p3t3r, Ubuntu works great, google "linux interfaces" for examples on how to setup the network manually [03:38] abe: Is your main Ubuntu install a partitioned install or Wubi? [03:38] pLr: all three settings dont make urban teror any bettr nor do they improve hulu.com performance either [03:38] DrDamnit: oh... no.... not the same issue [03:38] any one help me set up a PCMCIA card [03:38] Trying to install from a USB drive, and Ubuntu (Anaconda?) is pissed that I am not using a CDROM. [03:38] windows apps dont seem to b affected either [03:38] Tapout: with the monitor hooked up check system>admin or preferences for remote connectivity.. you have to turn it on and tell it if you want the host to validate the connection or not.. also in the same place you set a password === SolarisB1y is now known as BladeNBrocade [03:39] Mine seems to install everything just fine, running dual boot, and after i select to boot into Ubuntu, i get the blinking cursor at the top left for a bit, then nothing [03:39] or if it goes past that, furthest i seem to get is a Ubuntu wallpaper === vic20gmr is now known as vic20gmr_[lucid] [03:39] My monitor actually goes to sleep for a bit [03:39] ElemDragon: clean install or upgrade? [03:40] ElemDragon: Is this an upgrade or fresh install? [03:40] im having trouble upgrading ubuntu to 10.04 i get a failed to fetch error. does anybody know whats going on with that? [03:40] Clean install. Tried all three possibilities, too. Windows installer, Desktop disc, and Alternative disc [03:40] Guest84480: bad repos maybe or at the moment [03:40] Guest84480: is for just one or two programs, or loads/everything? [03:40] I had the same problem. had to go back to karmic, but still no sound [03:41] ElemDragon: do you have a sli or gforce motherboard in your machine? [03:41] Guest84480: Seems that the repo mirrors have been having issues lately. I had a period of a couple hours the other day I couldn't fetch stuff, then...magically it recitified itself. [03:41] Thinking maybe it's having issues with my video card, seeing as i'm using a GTX 295 [03:41] ElemDragon, formatted to ext3.for some reason, i can't write on it at all. is that gparted's default? looks like it's only write-able for root [03:41] Installing 10.04 LTS x64 server on HP ML150 G6 from USB drive created with PenDriveLinux Universal Installer. "Load installer components from CD" fails. How do I get past this? [03:41] ElemDragon: if you have onboard video capability.. remove the gtx board and try the built in one.. see if that works [03:41] no on-board [03:42] DrDamnit: you can get server edition support in #ubuntu-server [03:42] ElemDragon: is it a gforce MB? [03:42] sebsebseb: Thanks. [03:42] DrDamnit: np [03:42] nope. Intel P35 [03:43] All my usb devices show up mounted as root also.... I'm not liking 10.04 much... [03:43] So trying to install the LTS and it says "installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again" Should i be worried? [03:43] wers: no idea about that. Never really messed with Linux file systems a lot. Maybe just try formatting it as NTFS? Last i checked, Linux supports NTFS for storage.... [03:43] lisa_: Newer is not always better! [03:43] hey, when i ifconfig it shows that my eth0 is up and runing but when i try to apt-get upgrade i get faliure resolving errors. is there any way to trouble shoot my network connection? [03:44] ElemDragon, yeah. i guess that would work. after googling, it seems that ext3 partitions on externa hds are only for root by default [03:44] ElemDragon: well... could be an acpi issue.. and could be a signaling thing with the pci buss.. to test either/both you need to edit the kernel boot line in grub.. not sure how to do the acpi=off thing but the other you add "pci=nomsi" before "quiet splash" in the kernel boot line. [03:44] After backing my server down to 9.10 I'm going to back my laptop up there, then bring it back down to 9.10 [03:44] lisa_: and no problems with 9.10? [03:45] ElemDragon: it's not a storage issue.... ntfs isn't a good option for data storage on linux [03:45] scunizi.... is there any way i can edit that from Windows? haha [03:45] and i was talking about wers's issue with storage. [03:45] If i do an install, do you think it's going to cause terrible problems? [03:46] Hi folks [03:46] judy888: Hi [03:46] ElemDragon: probably not but you could from a live cd.. you have to mount the root partition after boot and navagate to /etc/grub (forgot the new location) [03:46] hi judy888 [03:46] my network manager dosent work properly! [03:46] that's the other problem. The Desktop disc, which i'm pretty sure is the live version, didn't want to boot, either [03:46] !work | judy888 [03:46] judy888: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [03:46] What distro judy888 [03:46] !details | judy888 [03:46] judy888: 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 ..." [03:47] that thing is a robot! [03:47] it is lucid 10.04 [03:47] judy888: network manager right, for ethernet or wireless? [03:47] ElemDragon: then you could test it with that.. on boot you'll typically get an initial screen.. hit F6 and it should allow you to edit the kernel line right there.. then hit enter to continue the boot process. [03:48] judy888: What's the exact problem? [03:48] when I disconnect my modem and try to reconnect it never does it [03:48] judy888: ok modem so ethernet connection? [03:48] hi [03:48] scunizi: ... now that i think about it.... pretty sure it'd be editable from the boot loader, wouldn't it? [03:48] em broadband... [03:48] dual booting 10.04 and Win7 [03:48] I cannot get sound to work on my ibm thinkpad minimal karmic install. This is my 5th clean install. [03:49] ElemDragon: perhaps [03:49] judy888: ok etherneted broadband, why would you want to disconnect that anyway? [03:49] judy888, Network manager is kinda quirky. Can you see the options when you lick on it on the status bar? [03:49] hmm..... i'll have to try and figure something out i guess.... [03:49] thanks for the help, scunizi [03:50] I have to remove the modem from the usb port put it back in and then reconnect [03:50] man cant figure out this webcam [03:50] worked once in cheese then quit [03:50] When I suspend, I get the error "PM: Device 00:02 failed to suspend: error -5" on tty1. [03:50] judy888, Oh, usb... I'm having usb issues with 10.04 also. Everything seems to mount as root... Might be the same problem [03:50] I think it may be the reason I can't suspend. [03:50] yes lisa I can see the icons [03:50] ElemDragon: good luck.. different configurations can be quirky depending on the hardware.. remember with windows nothing really works right until you install the Motherboard driver, usb, network, video etc etc.. each OS has it's hurdles to jump.. [03:51] How can I figure out what device is "00:02" and disable it? [03:51] judy888, I'm not sure what usb connections look like in network-manager. [03:52] judy888: Had a previous version of Ubuntu on there that worked ok? Well not really a solution to the issue, but could try one. [03:52] lisa_: the ame is a pci t other [03:52] or [03:52] lisa_: would still ahow as eth or wlan [03:52] judy888, so it just drops out on you? [03:52] I have enable broadband and it is checked [03:52] lisa_: judy888 USB yes, can be a bit odd in Ubuntu at times, maybe the release notes mention something about that. [03:53] !notes | lisa_ judy888 [03:53] lisa_ judy888: Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [03:53] judy888, When it does, check the output from ifconfig and then cat /etc/resolv.conf. Take a look at this when it's working too... I bet something is dropping out there. [03:53] sebsebseb: your telling me i got my xbox live cam to work 1 time and not again [03:54] sebsebseb: even if i repete the steps i did when it worked [03:54] gogeta: uhmm I guess your lucky to get Microsoft hardware working with Ubuntu, since Microsoft don't like Linux distros much, even though they also use them them selves here and there [03:54] sebsebseb: the uvc drivers supports it [03:54] does any on know how to use a windows driver in Ubuntu 10.4 [03:54] they gave up on fixing Ubuntu One, didn't they. [03:54] i mean 9.10 [03:54] gogeta: well Microsoft keyboards and mouses should be ok, but other hardware hrm [03:54] hopeless8009: you can't except for wireless [03:54] hopeless8009, Unless your talking about a wireless driver you can't [03:54] no lisa it only happens if I click on the icon (lwhich ooks like signal strenght) [03:55] no lisa it only happens if I click on the icon (looks like signal strenght) [03:55] sebsebseb: its just a standerd webcam usb driver it uses knothing spicel [03:55] I'd say it's a major bug... [03:55] sebsebseb; thats what i want to use it for [03:55] after install xubuntu ,win7 disappear [03:55] gogeta: right, but [03:55] and then select disconnect [03:55] I like 9.10 better [03:55] my win7 lost [03:55] sebsebseb: its a PCMCIA card [03:55] gogeta: you could say something like that about an old Lexmark printer for example, and have it not working in Ubuntu [03:55] lisa- me too [03:55] hopeless8009: PCMCIA is wireless? [03:56] PCMCIA its the interface [03:56] sebsebseb: thats the strage part it worked i saw m ulgy mug in cheese shut it down whent to take a pic dead [03:56] its an add on card [03:56] well, conisdering that 10.04 never worked [03:56] sebsebseb, He has a wireless card that is connected via pcmcia. Haven't you ever seen one before? [03:56] hopeless8009, what wireless card are you using? do you know the chipset? [03:56] gogeta: just, because something is a USB device, does not mean that it will just work in a Linux distro. oh sure for stuff like USB sticks and external hard drives and mouse and keyboard, that will useauly be alright, but other hardware probably not quite [03:56] I'm also running CentOS 5.4 and Suse 11.2 [03:57] any wubi gurus here? [03:57] hyb: u mean it doesn't show up on the boot menu or it's GONE? [03:57] no i dont know the chipset its a belken F5D8011 [03:57] edbian: uhmm maybe at some stage, I use ethernet :) [03:57] ForgeAus, I don't think there are any wubi gurus outside of the developers [03:57] hopeless8009, I had to use a wired connection on my laptop, then use the hardware drivers utility to add support for my wireless. [03:57] gogeta: configuring webcams isn't my area [03:58] sebsebseb: everyone says just plug it in do modprobe uvcvideo and it should work and it did then when i whent to do it again after reboot no luck [03:58] having trouble booting, /scripts/init-premount/lvm2: line39: add mountroot_fail_hook: not found ?? [03:58] I'm not even using lvm afaik [03:58] acerimmer, yes [03:58] Would anyone be willing to take a look at my alsa configuration and point in the right direction? [03:58] My logitech webcam works fine, nothing had to be done, and skype is happy with it. [03:58] lisa: who did you do that [03:58] hi [03:58] I have a process called gnome-power-manager taking up 515MB of memory...that can't be normal can it? [03:58] acerimmer, also after update-grub [03:58] !webcam [03:58] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:59] sebsebseb: lol [03:59] hopeless8009, I connected to the router with a cable, then when it was up and working fine, I went to "system/administration/hardware drivers. [03:59] sebsebseb: if that helped i wouldent be hear [03:59] gogeta: thought I would do the factoid, even though you would probably find it useless [03:59] What do I download if I want to use java? is it the OpenJDK? [03:59] hyb: Wubi install or side by side dual boot installation? [03:59] hello?

[04:00] sebsebseb: conserding the guide there worked one time and not again lol [04:00] how to hack log on screen [04:00] gogeta: the version could matter [04:00] gogeta: of Ubuntu [04:00] well Ive just read http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 but no mention of problem or solution [04:00] gogeta: for example maybe it worked fine on 9.10, but not on 10.04 === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [04:01] sebsebseb: all done under lucid [04:01] Flynsarmy: sooner or later you realize nothing is ever completely safe... [04:01] judy888: ok well I said it might mention, however yeah USB's hrm [04:01] sebsebseb: as i said worked once not again [04:01] lisa_: ah yes you said USB wants root? well that will be to do with permissions then [04:01] !permissions [04:01] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [04:02] acermmer:not wubi [04:02] sebsebseb, No, whenever I plug in a usb device, it mounts on it's own as root, and gets on my desktop. But you can't unmount it etc... === alema0 is now known as alema0ff [04:03] Any suggestions for an alternative to either gdesklets (suffering https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdesklets/+bug/569714 ) or Google Gadgets (display on all desktops)? [04:03] lisa_: maybe you can if your root for nautilus for example, but if you do that, got to be careful [04:03] I'm trying to find someone to test ip masqurading for me... Anyone using it on 10.04? [04:03] ForgeAus, i'm wondering if leaving a PHP process runnign overnight is causing gnome-power-manager to take up that amount of memory...because according to PHP get_peak_memory_usage() it's using up 501480 bytes... [04:03] lisa when I insert my usb modem , I never unmount it [04:03] where do i go if i want to change or disable the login sound for ubuntu? i've seen different links from around the web on how to disable, but none of them seem to be up to date methods for turning it off or changing it [04:04] Flynsarmy: uh, that sounds beyond my knowledgebase... [04:04] sebsebseb, I just open a terminal and unmount it.... or just pull it out! [04:04] ForgeAus, ok i'm going to end process it...if my laptop explodes i'm blaming the #ubuntu channel [04:04] 9.10 worked great on all the usb devices. [04:04] is anyone here familliar with TAP vpn interfaces / layer 2 traffic? [04:04] lisa_: uhmm? [04:04] Flynsarmy: besides I don't tend to use Gnome [04:05] Flynsarmy: ubuntu take no responsabilty for exploded laptops [04:05] lol [04:05] :D [04:05] hi all, I have a ligitech Quickam Fusion as webcam but cheese would not find it. Anyone can help? [04:05] Lisa: what wireless dirver did you sue [04:05] scunizi: well, i tried the whole "pci=nomsi" bit and i was able to see the boot logo, it allowed me to log in, and seemed to stop doing anything after that, just leaving me sitting there staring at the wallpaper and cursor [04:05] use [04:05] okapi14: lol im having the same issue with my xvox live cam found it once never again [04:05] lisa_: I am thinking gksudo nautilus and then you become root in the file manager, and maybe you can then unmount the USB drive as well and you could change permissions on it easilly and stuff like that. Got to be careful if using that though, so you dont for example accidently delete system files and that kind of thing. [04:06] OK...killing gnome-power-manager didn't explode my laptop but i'm guessing i now have no power management? that can't eb good in the long run [04:06] okapi14: try sudo modprobe uvcvideo [04:06] Anyone know where I can find the startup sound for Ubuntu 4.10? [04:06] Flynsarmy, It's good to get rid of processes you don't need. As long as you just kill it, then a restart would recover if it was something you need. Live and learn. [04:06] okapi14: turned on my cam once maybe you will have better luck [04:06] jim__: virtual machine the ISO and get it from that? [04:07] ElemDragon: you got further then before.. I suppose that work up to a point but there's more happening. maybe the acpi part.. google for that or maybe someone here will know what to include on the kernel line [04:07] Lisa: i enabled a wireless driver but when i got to connect it says device not ready? [04:07] sebsebseb, hoping I wouldn't have to install a virtual machine and another version of ubuntu just to get a sound file. [04:07] sebsebseb, I just want it to work the way it should/used to. I'll wait a few more days for updates to 10.04, then it's back to 9.10 [04:07] lisa_: uhmm [04:07] gogeta: no chance [04:08] What sound file you need? [04:08] lisa_: I don't think any updates for 10.04, will fix your issue [04:08] lisa_: or not any time soon anyway [04:08] okapi14: lol well that modprobe should tell your quickcam what driver to use [04:08] sebsebseb, So 10.04 will never work with usb devices? say it isn't so! [04:08] lisa_: espeasily since how it's security updates, and well a for backports later on for the server edition anyway [04:08] okapi14: those normaly use uvc [04:08] lisa_: security updates only, and a few backports later on at least for the server edition anyway [04:09] lisa_: "it isn't so" .. [04:09] can some one help me set up a PCMCIA wireless card [04:09] I have two usb hard drives with encrypted files systems on there that I'm unable to access... [04:09] lisa_: mine has no problem with usb stuff [04:09] lisa_: other then driver realted [04:09] lisa_: oh right [04:09] hopeless8009, What happened? Did you try what I said? [04:10] lisa_: yes if you use encyrption with Ubuntu, you can end up with issues [04:10] gogeta, 10.04? [04:10] failed to print a .doc file from OpenOffice. no response from printer. error file shows " Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps." "May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)". [04:10] lisa_: up plug in the usb hdd all the time it mounts right up [04:10] ep [04:10] !wireless | hopeless8009 [04:10] hopeless8009: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:10] why is the printer expecting a pdf file? [04:10] hopeless8009: so its figure out how to do it natively if you can, or use a Windows driver with Ndiswrapper, basically [04:10] gogeta, I wish mine worked, any idea what packages I could re-install to fix it? [04:11] hopeless8009: and if you don't get anywhere with either of those, I know of another distro or two where it may just work [04:11] lisa_: well even if it mounts root you can still use it [04:11] sebsebseb: i thank im going to have to use a windows driver [04:11] gogeta, not very well, it's not right... [04:11] lisa_: if its a ntfs drive it may be flagged dirty and refusing to mount rw [04:11] sebsebseb: its Belken N1 [04:11] gogeta, no, it mounts on it's own just fine, only as root.... [04:12] !belken [04:12] lisa_: chkdsk it in windows to fix that [04:12] lisa_: yea but if ntfs flaged it will only mount read only [04:12] well regardless... I decided it didn't matter if it worked the first time or not. Can i at least get someone to wish me luck :P lol [04:12] helo [04:12] gogeta, I don't think that would work on a ext4 encrypted file system... :-P [04:12] friend's [04:13] lisa_: its a ext4 drive? [04:13] lisa_: normaly its people with ntfs drives that have this problem [04:13] gogeta, Yes, I formatted it as ext4/encrypted using 9.10. Other thumb drives I have behave the same way, but are the normal fat format like windoze uses. [04:14] lisa_: yes encryption can go oddly [04:14] lisa_: how to explain this uhmm [04:14] lisa_: basicaly as far as I know [04:14] lisa_: if you made the encrypted file system with in your case 9.10, you might actsaully need 9.10 to open it up [04:14] But the other drives/thumb are not encrypted, just plain old usb devices. [04:14] lisa_: well you can leave them as is and if you need to write data to them use sudo cp or mv from term [04:15] I hope not, I have 2TB of data on that drive.... [04:15] lisa_: ok and the ones that aren't encyrypted open up ok or? w hat file system are they in? [04:15] lisa_: if you dont wanna ggo su with natuils [04:15] lisa_: also I recommend only using encryption when you truely have to use it, otherwise don't bother, you can get issues later on [04:15] gogeta, Nope, I'd rather go back to 9.10 than work with a ugly system. [04:15] lisa_: in fact if things go wrong enough, you won't be able to get into the data again, if it's encrypted [04:15] lisa_: kinda more secure that way [04:15] lisa_: no user could write to themwithout sudo [04:16] lisa_: maybe be by desine [04:16] Any good admin could get to the data though. [04:16] lisa_: an ugly system? [04:16] sebsebseb, You know, having to drop to root to do something that you should have to do... [04:17] lisa_: ok I read that wrong, thought you were saying 9.10 looked ugly [04:17] lisa_: acully it used to be that way [04:17] lisa_: ubuntu made it less secure for ease of use [04:17] sebsebseb, No, 9.10 would mount anything and put it on the desktop *mounted as the user* and even prompted for the encryption key. [04:18] lisa_: Ubuntus encryption probably isn't as secure as you think it is, also before I read a good article about how full hard disk encryption may not be as secure as people think it is [04:18] you could guve the usr account mount acess [04:18] to register a nickname do I follow the directions from the freenode site and type in here "/msg nickserv register" and then a password and valid e-mail address? Is that how to register? [04:18] lisa_: you could give the usr account acess to mount [04:19] lisa_: giving it full contole [04:19] gogeta, Nope, it should work right... [04:19] oldcrow, i think so [04:19] lisa_: lol [04:19] * lisa_ is going to call it a night [04:20] lisa_: its a random bug i think you need a certen setup for it to show being i have no problem with users and mounts [04:20] ÏÖÔÚÄĸöLinux×ÀÃæϵͳºÃÓÃЩ [04:20] does the fact that it is a command mean it won't show up in this general chat?

[04:22] DuvyDude, Do you know what that does? [04:22] hopeless8009: a program that allows the Windows driver .inf file to work as the driver for wireless in a Linux distro [04:22] DuvyDude, sudo chown -Rv /home/casey casey [04:22] hopeless8009: pretty easy to use and set up to use, but I don't remember the details [04:22] lisa_: see told ya it was easy to fix [04:22] DuvyDude, You can do what lisa told you. I was going to explain each step [04:22] DuvyDude, sudo chmod -Rv /home/casey ug+rwx [04:22] hopeless8009: also theres a page on the Ubuntu help site about it, but I don't have the link [04:23] ok thanks [04:23] what is the best way to make a raid in 10.04? [04:23] hopeless8009: if you can't get it working natively or with Ndiswrapper. You could try a distro such as Mandriva, where your wireless is more likely to just work. [04:24] ‫‎The commands did not work [04:24] sebsebseb, You really think Mandriva will work better [04:24] sebsebseb: lol mandrive is for sale again maybe you should buy it :) [04:24] edbian: oh I know [04:24] gogeta, What you mean? did you find a solution for me? [04:24] gogeta: here we go this again [04:24] gogeta: right getting the link [04:24] DuvyDude, navigate your terminal to one level above your /home/userName [04:25] DuvyDude, Do you know what that means? [04:25] edbian: yes for wireless and pulseaudio, it tends to work better, and just work [04:25] ‏‎‭no [04:25] mandriva hmm... I prefer PCLinuxOS [04:25] sebsebseb, Never knew that! [04:25] sebsebseb: i may end up doing that becasue i didnt do my research before buying this card form what i read on forms its a pain to get up if you can [04:25] no drag and drop of video/audio files etc., gogeta ? .. kinda like multiple layers in photoshop [04:25] ‪no I dont.

I thought it was installed already [04:27] lisa_: sudo apt-get remove hal [04:27] im afraid i cant l;et you do that lisa_ [04:27] lisa_: maybe a old dpendcy [04:27] how do you install plugins for chrome?

How about helping me with network bridging? [04:29] question, anyone here uses lighttpd and got it working? [04:29] htats what im trying to get help with lisa_ [04:29] gogeta, WOWW it says it's going to remove a bunch of x stuff if I try to remove hal [04:29] HoboSteaux: there's ##networking iirc [04:30] ty [04:30] sebsebseb yes I already knew that.. but I've had far more success with "just works" using PCLinuxOS than Mandriva itself, in fact I've had very little success at all with mandriva [04:30] lisa_: thats not good its depding on something [04:30] HoboSteaux, I tried all day today to get masq working, and it never changed IPtables at all. [04:30] lisa_: and probly why your having this issue [04:30] edbian: Sometimes other distros are better as I assume you also know, depending on user and hardware. I would like Desktop Linux to have a nice big market share, I don't care so much about which distros are part of that market share. [04:30] gogeta, If my backup was done, I'd say go for it and see what happens.... [04:31] sebsebseb, What is the best distro in your opinion?

I used package manager and it did remove hal just fine. but "apt-get remove hal" was going to remove most of x [04:32] lisa_: someone said that fixed it for him [04:32] lisa_: strange [04:33] hopeless8009: PC Linux OS is also good. Well good luck getting your wireless working in a Linux distro :) [04:33] Ramza: have you edited the file /etc/apt/sources.list at all?

[04:42] Ramza, I use the mouse and highlight/middle click [04:43] lisa_: use ufw to configure your firewall its alot easer then iptables [04:43] gogeta, does ufw have a gui? [04:43] lisa_: ufw is REALLY easy to setup [04:43] lisa_: acully yes [04:43] You don't need a GUI [04:43] We are Linux users!

GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.

True! we are used to the command line! I have always liked fwbuilder [04:44] moetunes k, one second [04:44] doesn't ufw just modify the iptables ?

[04:53] atroy1994, I've also read that it's better to have windows installed first. [04:53] atroy1994, I did it :P so it can't be that hard [04:53] lisa_: if you talking abought ssh after it connect it gets aadded to known_host [04:53] But i need to do NAT from one nic to another... [04:54] is it a long processs? [04:54] lisa_: you mean a cat 5 [04:54] I know, but as much ssh as I do, I have multiple lines in known_hosts and have to go clean it up. [04:54] atroy1994, It is about 1000 x's easier than installing windows [04:54] i face a problem on ubuntu 9.10, i have set the settings in display to "blank screen when lid is closed" when i do close the lid and then re-open i can not see my workspace and the screen remains blank. what should i do? i have to restart the laptop and start all over again. please help. [04:54] I think linux should steal the windows7 taskbar grouping for ubuntu [04:54] how much time is taken? [04:54] lisa_: are you talking abought a cat 5 link to 2 nics [04:54] Ramza: you don't have a country in front of archive.ubuntu - e.g. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [04:55] gogeta, I have a laptop connected to wireless fine. My ethernet port is unused, I wan to use it to provide internet to a desktop through my laptop. [04:55] moetunes: is there a sources.list i can just copy from? [04:55] lisa_: then a cat 5 link [04:55] atroy1994, usually depends on hardware but I'm installing it on a computer that has 3. GHz and ~700MB or RAM... it's taking me 20 minutes or so [04:55] lisa_: the most pc will need a dhcp server installed [04:55] host [04:55] I've done it before, but today I could never the IP masq to work at all. [04:55] sebsebseb: i thank i just found the link [04:55] There's a host dhcp server on my net. [04:56] atroy1994, Depends on your processor and cd drive speed. Usually about an hour on "normal" hardware. [04:56] Ramza: I have a dapper one here I could paste - but then you would have to change dapper to karmic - easier just to put us. in front of archive [04:56] will compilers like codeblocks run on it? [04:56] lisa_: the pc thats hosting you link needs one to hand out a ip to the client [04:56] atroy1994, edbian is right... schedule an hour :P [04:56] moetunes: k, one moment [04:56] atroy1994, There is a compiler for pretty much every language ever on linux. I'm not sure if there is a linux version of that specific one. [04:56] gogeta, That will work if I ever get the packets to pass from my eth0 to my eth1... [04:57] hopeless8009: ok here you go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [04:57] lisa_: that should using ics mode them its all connected [04:57] when [04:57] lisa_, It's called packet forwarding. I've done it. PM me. It is a nightmare without help! :( [04:57] edbian: i dont think you need to do that with ics enabled [04:58] edbian: for a cat 5 link [04:58] I have no idea about that [04:58] PDG1, i hav heard, linux is more complex than windows. Is it? [04:58] moetunes: it does the same thing, actually, even with us. prefixed [04:58] moetunes: I will copy & paste, one moment [04:58] k [04:58] atroy1994, I just looked at the Codeblocks site and it says it works with ubuntu [04:58] lisa_: once your pcs linked ubuntu should just start roughting the traffic [04:59] ok. fine [04:59] atroy1994, partially... but not at first. The fact that you're using an app like codeblocks suggests that you're not afraid to learn... and that's the main part of using Linux is learning [04:59] lisa_: hears how [04:59] lisa_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [04:59] Is there any way to play m4v movies with 10.04 [05:00] moetunes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/437650/ [05:00] Gyro54: have you installed restricted extras¿ [05:00] Gyro54: i play them all the time with vlc & mpplayer [05:00] yes, i am learning c++ [05:00] Gyro54 ffmpeg will do the task [05:00] Fantastic. Thanks for that! [05:00] mplayer gnomeplayer vlc are based on fffmpeg [05:00] Ive found very few videos i cant play in linux. [05:01] atroy1994, don't be afraid of complexity. I used windows on the family computer until i was about 17 and then got a computer and tried Damn small linux. [05:01] edbian: part of the ics is setting up the rioughting so that should get her set up fine [05:01] Dr_Willis, ditto [05:01] atroy1994, and now I'm finding it hard to use Windows again :P === catharsis is now known as stenten [05:02] Ramza: ok - wanna try my sources.list - I'll do the dapper/karmic change for you ? [05:02] is ubuntu the latest version of linux? [05:02] if yes, when was it released? [05:02] atroy1994: 10.04 is the latest version of 'ubuntu' [05:02] atroy1994: ubuntu is one of many linux disrtos out there. [05:03] Dr_Willis: there isnt any videos you cant play in linux heck even wmv work with mplayer [05:03] atroy1994, Ubuntu is more like a different flavour of linux. Linux describes a lot of different operating systems.. [05:03] gogeta: theres some 'malware' videos that need virus-laden codecs that dont work. :) but thats a 'good thing' [05:03] Dr_Willis: and rm real has a linux play [05:03] moetunes: sure, and thank you [05:03] atroy1994, pm?

So I guess what every one Ubuntu 10.04 uses. [05:12] That is LUKE [05:12] Ramza: from here - http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/7392/solved-ign-skip-repository-when-aptget-update/ - seems you might have google chrome installed and this link offers a fix [05:13] Dr_Willis: guess direct tv is more anel abought there dvr [05:13] Clouse just a silly q Do you remember the pw?

[05:20] Gartral: i would just run a speed test and if that comes back good then the repos just slowed down [05:20] gogeta: AGAIN (and i HATE repeating myself!) i KNOW of the limitations of webservers.. thats why i asked if it was possible to have aot draw from MULTIPLE repos, please dont enter the convo without reading the backlog, thank you [05:20] ghostnik: you install the virtualbox from the vbox homepage. Not the OSE version in the repos. I recall. [05:20] ghostnik: if noone here does there is #vbox for help [05:20] !! hello !! 'sudo apt-get install ircii' doesn't work. anyone with advice?

[05:23] Dr_Willis: I checked the /etc/init.d/mountall.sh which activates the swap based on that option... it checks if $NOSWAP is "yes"... So i concluded i should set NOSWAP=yes at boot.. I will try noswap instead.. [05:23] ghostnik: i removed the ose, installed the other.

[05:37] maco: dont think so.. the effect was "cd /media/cdrom0 $$ scriptedcd.run" would run a script from cd, without a leading "./" [05:37] ok, well i think ill justn give up on UNE and try the other version [05:38] because i i apparently have to compile in order to get the wireless and ethernet working, and i need to either get the compiler from a package on the internet or move it over by hand === Tniffoc is now known as CodeYeti [05:38] and i have no clue where to put the parts manually [05:39] so that's crap. [05:39] blalb: the compiler is a lot of packages. :) [05:39] blalb: ive not seen much differeance in the supportd hardware in the Netbook vs Normal edititons. [05:39] Dr_Willis :: tq so much.. my firefox already working now after create a new profile [05:39] does the normal edition have a compiler? [05:39] I would think they should support the same hardware [05:39] xs2ubuntu: so you have some user settings/plugins that are ausing the issue. === Invert666 is now known as Drone4four [05:40] because i already have the drivers. they just rent compiled -.- [05:40] arent [05:40] Dr_Willis :: yes [05:40] blalb: ubuntu does not include the compiler (build-essential) package [05:41] blalb: by default on any of the releases. [05:41] can anyone point me in the right direction of "secure" wireless data transmission on a cell phone network? [05:41] hey guys, I need a bit of extreme help - anytime I attempt to do anything with packages in aptitude (install, remove, etc.) it tosses me an error dealing with tar and "Bad file descriptor" [05:41] what would you do in this kind of situation, Dr_Willis? [05:41] hi, I need a good tool for drawing uml diagrams; an opensource free one. could you please recommend a few? [05:42] blalb: whats the actual problem? wireless? I would plug in a wired cable and update/upgrade/check the hardware-drivers tool. [05:42] the problem is both wireless and ethernet. [05:42] cjdevlin: is there such a thing? .. unless you can ssh from a cell to another machine and run a browser from there. [05:42] does anyone know a good driver Data base i can download form. Belkin will not let me download inless i register [05:42] alrighty, in ubuntu if i have multiple sound sources playing at once (especially wine and a background music player) i get this horrible static instead of the music i want.. even if wine or other software is playing sound [05:42] what's the different between the this versions ubuntu 9.10 and ubuntu 10.04? [05:42] i dont have working drivers for either [05:42] yay web client [05:42] Many improvements or just the appearance? [05:43] <|corpse|> hey, is anyone good with samba? im triny to install a server and when i do sudo smbpassw -a sample_user i enter the new password twice then i get the return " failed to add entry for user sample_user [05:43] 10.4 will be support longer i thank [05:43] marcelo: there are many inprovements in the backend.. [05:43] so I just need to get one of them to work by passing things over via USB [05:43] marcelo: Hopeless8009 is right.. 10.04 is supported for 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server [05:44] !proxy [05:44] marcelo: 10.04 has two new themes, a music store, more Gnome editing on the top right, and thats about it for noticeable end user features. Under the hood later kernel, and new versions of most of the programs, and that kind of thing. [05:44] !10.04 | marcelo [05:44] marcelo: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 [05:44] Marcelo: LST [05:44] !lts | marcelo [05:44] marcelo: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [05:44] Gartral: right. if you set . in the $PATH you dont need ./ [05:44] Gartral: you only need ./ if you *dont* put . in the $PATH [05:44] woops [05:45] scunizi: the reason i ask is i have been doing some research on tethering and stuff and i was curious what law enforcement used to secure their data transmissions. i am pretty sure they are just using cell networks. i was wondering if there was some sort of open source framework for that type of problem. [05:45] 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. Is there some reason that won't work? [05:45] it seems like each program would have to encrypt/decrypt the data individually [05:45] nicholas_: is it set to read-only, perhaps? [05:45] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 LTS on this laptop (1.5ghz pentium M with 512MB ram) what can I do to increase performance? I notice my rams always almost full, which makes it use the swap quite a bit, what are some un-necessary things I can remove to kind of bare-bones this computer so it runs good. [05:46] Talon_: maybe decrease the "swappiness" [05:46] Talon_: also check what you are running... [05:46] My opinion is that linux is awesome and Ubuntu is one of the best, but could someone tell me why a windows user would want to switch to Ubuntu or Linux for that mater? Most of these updates are not really all that attractive to a windows user, are they? maybe I am mistaken [05:46] Codemaster: Nope, it worked fine for the past year or so. Just stopped working earlier today. Anytime I try copying, it tells me to free up more space because there's not room to do what I want. [05:46] cjdevlin: their radios are encrypted and digital from the source..at each radio... the cell network just passes the signals.. [05:46] quit [05:46] i am making de upgrade right now [05:46] nicholas_: weird, i'd recommend running a chkdsk /f on it from a windows box [05:47] cjdevlin: plus they have their own towers as well.. [05:47] What does the code before the script name mean in /etc/rcN.d? For example apache2 symlink is named "S91apache2".. [05:47] Ham: free, easier to install software, easier to use, [05:47] Ham: It's free, and feature-wise, the software repositories are essentially a computer-app-store. [05:47] Hey guys, I am running 10.04 64bit - and for some hstrange reason my xchat wont connect the to the #Ubuntu channel - FYI: im using the webchat client in firefox [05:48] Dr_Willis :: im try to get yahoo messeger but the problem is E: Couldn't find package libssl0.9.6 [05:48] i went thru the ubuntu software center and removed stuff I'd never use, like the video editor, bluetooth, etc.. but thats not stuff thats constantly running in the background.. can I also safely remove compiz? [05:48] hy...all [05:48] gmn kabar semuanya...??? baek2 sajakah.... [05:49] xs2ubuntu: what Yahoo Messenger? the one from the yahoo site> [05:49] Codemaster and nocholas, you don't have to convince me, I am on board with that... the problem is windows users are used to ...... something.... that they do not get with Linux or more specificially Ubuntu Linux..... [05:49] Ham: a lot of maintenance they never have to deal with [05:49] Codemaster: No way to do that (or the equivalent) on Linux, is there? (Removing and then reattaching will be a pain, lol) [05:49] scuzini: some radios are . . . chicago still isn't (http://www.chicagoscanningclub.com/CSCChicPol.htm). i was talking about the computers in the cars. it seems like with some basic equipment bad guys could then intercept the data being transmitted over any web based query. (ps - chicago has had problems w/ bad guys buying scanners and listening) [05:49] amazing... I switched nvidia drivers from 173 to the latest option (with no version number) and the laptop is running cooler.. much cooler. [05:49] nicholas_: ehhh, there's ntfsfix or something like that, but an actual windows box would be better, imo [05:50] Dr_Willis :: yes from yahoo site [05:50] Dr_Willis: Just "noswap" worked.. [05:50] Ham: The concept of an app-store for your PC has convinced a number of straight windows users I know to at least take a look into it, as well as having all software *and* OS upgrades integrated into one. [05:50] to attract young users, Ubuntu has to think about what they want out of an operating system, yes? [05:50] Codemaster: Poo. Alrighty, will do. [05:50] xs2ubuntu: check the date on when it was last released.. last i checked their last official linux client was like 4+ years old. Use some IM clients from the repos. NOT the oficial yahoo one [05:50] What does the code before the script name mean in /etc/rcN.d? For example apache2 symlink is named "S91apache2".. [05:51] cjdevlin: san diego is totally encrypted.. they did it several years ago.. scanners won't pick up anything.. [05:51] Dr_Willis :: oic . Tq [05:51] Ham: They want an iPhone, not an OS. :P [05:51] ham: I used to be a HUGE windows only kinda guy, well now I'm an ubuntu fan.... windows 7 was NOT my idea :) [05:51] xs2ubuntu: the default Im clients in Ubuntu can do Yahoo and more [05:51] what are they missing? what does windows have that linux doesn't? [05:51] Ham: malware. [05:52] Ham: All the name-brand programs they're familiar with. [05:52] Made *for* their OS. [05:52] Ham: every time ubuntu does 'somthing' to impress the new-potential users.. they tend to annoy us old timers. :) [05:52] support for propiatory .net .vb scripting [05:52] It would seem to me that with everything that Linux and Ubuntu especially has going for it there would be a much wider user base. [05:52] Ham: over time however.. ubuntu is slowly gaining ground. [05:52] Ham: and large game developers creating for it [05:52] Ham: Linux still has the "use the terminal" scary feeling [05:52] LOL Dr_Willis [05:52] Dr_Willis :: what IM client can support video chat bcoz im try pigdin and Empathy client but doesn`t support. [05:52] we're straying into offtopic-world here [05:53] Ham: also no big-name game support currently (rumor of Steam coming in a few months) [05:53] Ham: STEAM is comming out with a linux port soon. and several other games are comming out for linux, or just came out, and some even went GPL-Open sourced.. [05:53] ^ [05:53] Ham: If MajicJack worked for Linux.. i could switch my wife over. :) [05:53] The following packages have been kept back: [05:53] scuzini: cook county is also encrypted, but i digress . . . i guess the question becomes "if i build a car pc and want to surf the internet, is there any way to prevent someone from intercepting my data transmissions done over tcp?" [05:53] linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic [05:53] I was sure they only announced Steam for MAC recently not Linux [05:53] what do i do about that? [05:54] Dr_Willis: theres my main issue! [05:54] Yes, we need more game developers or smart programmers that want to whip up a bunch of demos, so kids can see that Linux is a viable gaming platform. that's one thing for sure. [05:54] Ham: The userbase doesn't grow all that fast because with the exception of Dell, you can't buy a normal PC from a name-brand manufacturer without Windows o it. [05:54] cjdevlin: you'd have to ssh into another machine and surf from there.. [05:54] Gartral: sudo apt-get update && sudp apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:54] steam for Linux? wow! [05:54] vitamin-carrot: theres been several sites with info of the steam-linux port that is supposed to be out this summer i think [05:54] ham: in my opinion, its all the various distro's that kill linux for a userbase. not only does it affect users, it affects programmers too. Do you want to compile your program for 30+ flavours of linux? I think linux will have a real pull and microsoft will die when theres only a couple different distributions (or hopefully one left standing) [05:54] vitamin-carrot: they even 'found' the closed beta of the client. :) [05:54] dr_willis: okay i install the pulse virtualbox or deb virtualbox 3.2 but now my virtual manchine windows 7 runs slow [05:54] Dr_WIllis: URL's please [05:54] we're straying into offtopic-world here (x2) [05:55] dr_willis: its me ghostnik [05:55] Dr_Willis: shh! im one of those lucky gamers! [05:55] king11: pulse virtualox or deb virtualbox? No idea what you mean. what pulse? [05:55] Majick Jack is the phone $25 a year phone app, correct? [05:55] dr_willis: sorry deb but pulse just stands for personal use license something else [05:56] anyways - I cant connect to servers on freenode via Xchat [05:56] :( [05:56] Gartral: tell the Steam guys they need 'steam cards' at the local walmart. so the wife can buy me $40 in steam games for a Xmas gift . and i dont have to use a Credit card online. :P [05:56] !offtopic | Dr_Willis [05:56] Dr_Willis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:56] Codemaster: can i remove compiz completely? [05:56] vitamin-carrot, you are connected to freenode now [05:56] Dr_Willis: from the pipes, steam will be accepting paypal by xmas [05:56] Talon_: I believe so, not 100% certain, though. [05:56] that's the problem you can't buy linux installed on the store bought PCs. I have always built my own, so I did not realize that. [05:56] king11: i dont have win7 to test. I test ubuntu installs. and the deb worked here for me. [05:56] Ham: So the average PC buyer doesn't think "Oh, I want Linux because it's free" because they already bought Windows when they bought their PC (thus in their mind it was 'free'). Get more manufacturers to sell PCs with Ubuntu on them for $250, and there will be a much larger userbase. [05:56] bazhang: via webchat [05:57] mneptok: Sorry if that was continuing off-topic [05:57] hey.. i installed ubuntu on my alienware..and now i have.. no sound.. like when it boots it makes the startup sounds but if change the volume at all no sound.. or if its a non system sound then no sound..... [05:57] nicholas_, Ham #ubuntu-offtopic please [05:57] bazhang: I want to connect via Xchat [05:57] kk [05:57] Sorry to disrupt :) [05:57] vitamin-carrot, is it installed? [05:57] dr_willis: it works just that i think i was bugging a little, but it works [05:57] bazhang: yes [05:57] sorry. [05:57] In my Ubuntu Lucid (GNOME 32-bit) VM, Nautilus doesn't have any toolbars or right-click, making it essentially the same as a GNOME File/Open dialog. I can't rename, copy or create files from Nautilus. Is this desired behaviour? [05:57] bazhang: [05:57] vitamin-carrot, so what is the issue? [05:57] Codemaster: I'm going to give it a shot.. I don't care for the OpenGL special GUI Effects.. just a waste of resources... [05:58] forgive me for being offtopic. [05:58] aiden, what kind of non system sounds? like music? [05:58] Talon_: can always just turn them off :) [05:58] vitamin-carrot: if memeory serves the server list for Freenode in XChat is not correct. take a look at that. [05:58] Codemaster: I did, but since its not in use its just wasting space now. [05:58] bazhang: when connecting to the #ubuntu channel via Xchat i receive a * Connection failed. Error: Network is unreachable [05:59] yes PDG1 like music.. or youtube vidoes [05:59] vitamin-carrot, using what port in xchat [05:59] videos* [05:59] vitamin-carrot: try /server irc.freenode.net or /connect irc.freenode.net [05:59] how I do force mount a dirty ntfs volume? (given that windows is completely hosed and unavaliable to chkdsk it up) [05:59] OH and even weirder if i put headphones in.. i have sound [05:59] bazhang: I have it setup as irc.ubuntu.com/8001 [05:59] how can i send a message across lan from ubuntu to windows? [05:59] but i kindof like using my speakers..otherwise i wouldnt have purchased them lol [05:59] zjblabs: ntfs-3g has some options to force the mount. [06:00] is anybody having any issues with 10.04 where when you single click something, it double clicks it instead? [06:00] aiden, funky... [06:00] Dr_Willis: heh, I've been trying for awhile, happen to know specifically? [06:00] Codemaster: ubuntu software center when I click remove says it also needs to remove gnome-session, isn't that the startup login screen? (waits to hit the ok screw my computer button) [06:00] aiden, have you gone into the mixer to see if something is muted? [06:00] yeah [06:00] its all at 100% [06:01] zjblabs: check with ntfs-3g --help - i recall it stating the option iof you tried to mount it via hand. [06:01] my friend said its something to do with the nvidia hda card and ubuntu dont like eachother.. he told me to come here for help [06:01] Talon_: just go under appearances and disable it [06:01] i can give you remote access if you think you can maybe figure it out =x which is sketchy but at this point... idc [06:01] Can't locate LWP/Socket.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .

[06:01] theres a restricted driver for nvidia [06:01] but if i enable it [06:01] vitamin-carrot, try freenode instead of ubuntu there, and use 8002 [06:02] doom? [06:02] bazhang: trying now [06:02] when my computer reboots it plays the startup sounds but never shows anything on the screen [06:02] aiden, as in display stops working? [06:02] yes. [06:03] bazhang: still happening [06:03] vitamin-carrot, you edited this under network list in the xchat menu? [06:03] aiden, well I apologize... I'm not very good with these kinds of issues. I figured it was better than no one answering tho :P [06:04] bazhang: yes [06:04] bazhang: im not a stranger to xchat - im currently connected to the beyondunreal irc channel [06:04] yeah.. it is thanks for even attempting ive asked like 9 times and youre the first to even attempt to help [06:04] aiden, is it an NVidia card that the sound is being processed with? [06:05] yes nvidiaHDA [06:05] alienware m17x [06:05] bazhang: so it works fine just not when im trying to connect to #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net/8002 [06:05] aiden, maybe there's something on the forums to do with that card [06:05] is anybody having any issues with 10.04 where when you single click something, it double clicks it instead? [06:05] vitamin-carrot, it seems to be an issue with your configuration then; those settings work fine here (Ubuntu servers irc.freenode.net/8002 ) [06:05] i have searched it had me add something to one of the .conf files but that didnt seem to do anything [06:05] i'm trying to play music via exaile, but it says i don't have the plugins [06:06] bazhang: yeah its weird cause its worked fine under 9.04 [06:06] Dr_Willis: I just did "ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 -o force and it says "Failed to read NTFS $Bitmap: Input output error. NTFS is either INCONSISTENT, or you have hardware fualts, or ... [06:06] bazhang: Shouldn't it be 8001? [06:06] red2kic, it varies [06:07] aiden, so I take it you already know the exact make of your MOBO and card and everything [06:07] bazhang: Ah-ha. Roger. [06:07] @zjblabs -- did u use the mount command with that? === gce__ is now known as gce [06:07] yes [06:07] i'm trying to play music via exaile, but it says i don't have the plugins [06:07] well i did earlier i looked it up [06:08] zjblabs: that sounds... bad. very bad. [06:08] vitamin-carrot, if you don't get a definitive answer here you might also ask in #freenode [06:08] bazhang: maybe [06:08] bazhang: might be a resolving issue [06:08] bazhang: sez IP is this - * Connecting to irc.freenode.net (32.1.6.176) port 8001... [06:09] aiden, I know you can find more information by getting into terminal and typing "sudo lshw" [06:09] bazhang: anyways - ill ask in freenode [06:09] ok [06:09] bazhang: cheers for the help dude [06:10] aiden, I'm not sure what else to say except to maybe try some speacialty forums for linux in general if no one else here is helping right away [06:10] aiden, or Debian [06:10] okay.. thanks [06:10] =] [06:11] i love ubuntu and mint.. but mint wont even work on this hardware [06:11] i have them on my desktop [06:11] i guess i can just live with headphones until i figure it out [06:11] anyone in cincinnati hiring students? [06:11] LoneClock: McDonalds. [06:11] heh [06:11] LoneClock, that's offtopic here [06:11] :) [06:12] anybody hear run os x on their pc? [06:12] i installed grub on sda5, then ran 'myhack' in os x on my os x install harddrive, which is sda1. grub still boots instead of 'myhack' anybody have any ideas? http://pastebin.com/56kZC5Jy [06:12] godricbrutus: its doable.. but not related to Ubuntu support. :) [06:12] godricbrutus, hackintosh is not supported here or on freenode [06:12] Dr_Willis, ok. maybe you can tell me how to kill grub [06:12] Can I run OSX on my Android phone? :) [06:13] haha is there a general computer channel? [06:13] Is that doable too? [06:13] LoneClock: There are #hardware (or ##hardware) [06:13] LoneClock, ##linux [06:13] godricbrutus: to 'remove' grub - You reinstall a different bootloader over teh MBR that grub is installed on. [06:13] is there a way to just remove grub instead of installing something over it? because nothing seems to want to install over it [06:13] not even windows boot loader [06:14] godricbrutus, is this a Mac computer [06:14] bazhang, no [06:14] godricbrutus, then please stop === RonaldH is now known as Ronald [06:15] godricbrutus: i would guess. you are doing somthing wrong then. You could 'carefully' use the dd command to zero out the mbr where grub is at.. but i would bet you are somehow using the wrong mbr. [06:16] Dr_Willis, ok, thanks. what is the dd command? [06:16] can anyone help me out with changing a bootlist in grub? [06:16] Hey, I'm the sysadmin for a small startup and we run our servers on ubuntu [06:17] Dr_Willis, please don't. hackintosh is not supported here [06:17] bazhang: was thst even mentioned? i dident notice. [06:17] yes [06:17] its a bad sign when someone wants to use dd and dosent know what dd is. :) [06:18] We had a little accident and I'm trying to restore from a backup. I used an encryption program that came with ubuntu and I'm trying to figure out how to decrypt. Can anyone help? [06:18] Dr_Willis, thanks, what command is that? [06:18] godricbrutus, you have been asked to stop. hackintosh is not supported here [06:18] Please, I need to get the servers back up and running soon... [06:19] godricbrutus: we do not support nor condone the use of OSX on non-Mac computers here. [06:19] bazhang, but Dr_Willis suggested something, and i was just asking him [06:19] mneptok, ok [06:19] godricbrutus, and I have asked you to stop many times now. Please do so. [06:19] tolkad: "an encryption program" is not enough information. [06:19] mneptok, i wont ask anymore [06:19] godricbrutus: thanks [06:20] mneptok: The command for it is "md5" [06:20] tolkad: what were you/are you using to back up your data? What program, script, otherwise - please elaborate. [06:20] any tips on migrating to XFCE on lucid? [06:20] greezmunkey: They have been stored on an external hard drive. I used a perl script that made a tarball and encrypted it [06:21] pallgone: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [06:21] pallgone: what do you mean? Install xubuntu-desktop and you got a full featured xfce [06:21] UBUNTUUUUU [06:21] tolkad: the answer, at lease part of it is in that script. [06:21] tolkad: md5 is a checksumming tool, not encryption. [06:21] mneptok: AFAIK md5 is cryptographically secure [06:21] tolkad: can you paste the script to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [06:21] Dr_Willis: it want's to uninstall gnome [06:22] pallgone: what is it stating exactly? Ive had xubuntu and gnome both on the same box befor. There shouldent be any issues. Theres also the #xubuntu channel [06:22] Quadrescence: you, but unless this script used arcane md5-fu, the resulting file should not be encrypted. [06:22] greezmunkey: I don't have it anymore, I'm trying to restore from backup [06:22] Alguem já teve problemas ao tentar instalar o ruby on rails no ubuntu?

[06:23] * mneptok blinks [06:23] tolkad: that was easy, what is the command you used to encrypt the data then? [06:24] mneptok: I do know what it did, it made a tarball of the files and then encrypted them with md5 and then stored the encrypted data in a file on the external drive [06:24] mneptok: I know... [06:24] tolkad: so you obviously passed md5 arguments to the script, use the reverse md5 to decrypt [06:24] tolkad: answer the question, *what* command did you use? [06:24] greezmunkey: the md5 command [06:25] tolkad: hmmm [06:25] Hi there, I'm installing ubuntu as we speak and it is taking a really long time, is this normal? How long should it take? [06:25] Thomas_H: depends on the hds and isntall media.. about 20 min here i recall on my netbook [06:25] depends on your system really.. i install it on my fairly-recent laptop in ~30 minutes [06:25] greezmunkey: I think it was "md5 file.tar > /path/to/external/drive/backup$n.dat" [06:25] Dr_Willis: ubuntu wants libsdl**debian.pulseaudio and xfce libsdl**debian.alsa [06:26] I installed Wireshark but for some reason it does not see any of my network interfaces [06:26] mneptok: Where can I get the reverse md5? [06:26] zetheroo, Run it as root. [06:26] Dr_Willis: and the they don't seem to be able to coexist [06:26] mneptok: I tried reading the md5 manual page, I can't figure it out [06:26] since Gimp isn't in the base install is there a different app that they have included? [06:26] tolkad: waht is the data file on the external device, and what is its size? [06:27] I'm using a DVD and I'm installing to a regular 7200rpm seagate HDD.. its been an hour and 10 mins and it is at 28% [06:27] tolkad: what was the average size of your backup files, jsut curious? [06:27] greezmunkey: uh, let me check [06:27] Hi all. This is a dumb question but I'm kinda stumped. How can you rearrange track orders when creating an Audio CD in Brasero? [06:27] Thomas_H, i'd reboot and try again lol.. but i'm no linux expert quite honestly. [06:27] greezmunkey: 32 bytes [06:27] jsec: Drag the song so it arrives between the two you want it to be between [06:28] Cynthia: Wow... why was that so confusing for me? *fail* [06:28] 29%... [06:28] tolkad: so an entire system's critical data is stored in a 32 byte file? ya think? [06:28] Thomas_H: the DVD has way more data to copy from it than the CD :( [06:28] tolkad: your data is gone [06:28] your backup file just contains the MD5 hash of your data [06:28] is there any formate which can be opened in both ubuntu and mac o [06:29] tolkad: I hate to tell you this, but all you stored (if that) was the md5sum of the backup file, bummer :( [06:29] jsec: take the file, click it with your mouse; hold the mouse, move it towards the position it should be in, and release the mouse :) [06:29] greezmunkey: What's the use of an encryption program if you can't decrypt !?? [06:29] hide it away FOREVAR [06:30] someone free to help me please? [06:30] Cynthia: what is this mouse you speak of? :P [06:30] pallgone: it asked to remvoe 3 files here.. lets see what it does. libsdl is not really a gnome pacakge however. its a sdl package. so i doubt if it will affect much [06:30] tolkad: where is "backup$n.tar" right now? [06:30] tolkad: MD5 is a one-way hash function, it has the same output size for all inputs, so there is an almost infinite amount of hard drive contents that could "hash" to it [06:30] tolkad: first of all, md5sum is not encryption software. The MD5 hash is commonly used to verify the integrity of files (i.e., to verify that a file has not changed as a result of file transfer, disk error, meddling, etc.). [06:31] greezmunkey: on my external hard drive? and $n was a variable with the unix time [06:31] jsec: erm :) poiinting device? [06:31] pointing* [06:32] How can i tell if my ISP is blocking torrent traffic? [06:32] well, I'll just use one of the .tar files instead then [06:32] Cynthia: thanks for the help. I spent a good 5 minutes trying to drag files and all i was doing was selecting multiple tracks. I've gotta get this trackpad looked at... [06:32] Hello room :) [06:32] tolkad: yes, the .tar file will have your data [06:32] jsec: that would be a good idea, yes [06:33] tolkad: you have no backup then. md5 {filename} > /somelocation/filename.dat (being only < 1K, 32 btyes or so) tells me you only stored a md5sum of the original file, not *any* of the data...

[07:16] greezmunkey: one drive, it is an EIDE drive, western digital [07:16] CTRL: does it get detected in the bios [07:16] Dr_Willis, oki, thank you :) [07:17] histo: yes, it used to have windows xp on it, and it does get detected by bios [07:17] hmmm [07:17] xchat halted [07:17] lol [07:17] nilsma: why dont you set it to start at system boot? I dont see why you need it at login [07:17] CTRL: you have a MS-6577 msi mobo mate :] [07:17] I ran checkbox on my computer but the network connection is not working. How can I manually submit my submission.xml? [07:17] Dr_Willis, how would i go about doing that? [07:17] moetunes: thanks, greezmunkey it is MS-6577 mobo [07:18] nilsma: i would check the programs homepage/docs for starters.. down and dirty way.. start it from /etc/rc.local [07:18] Is there a way to install ubuntu without using the UI? [07:18] nilsma: there may be other ways that are better [07:18] !alternate | Thomas_H [07:18] Thomas_H: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [07:18] CTRL: I have no idea perhaps others here can give you some more insight. I would start looking at the controller module [07:18] vitamin-carrot: xchat sucks [07:18] hey, i'm currently running a Linux NAT router...so i was wondering if there is a way to inspect all packets that are going out on port 80 to a certain set of IPs and either dump the HTTP headers to a file or the actual URL requested to a file...something like that? [07:18] Talon_, not positive but this might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BridgingNetworkInterfaces [07:18] Dr_Willis, i just added it to startup applications and figured it would start from there each time i logged in, but since it needs "sudo" it wont run automatically :p [07:19] nilsma: thats because its a service. and doing fancy things just like other services would be doing. [07:19] histo: ok, thanks for trying. I'll see if I can find my XP cd and see if I can install that again. [07:19] nilsma: from what i see in the docs. it can run as a user. [07:19] CTRL: you might have better luck with the ubuntu alternate cd [07:19] CTRL: in your bios, try setting the drive to LBA, and turn off s.m.a.r.t. if it is on, then try again. === athlion_ is now known as wg2k [07:20] LBA? [07:20] Gartral: why you gotta go and shatter my reality like that? [07:20] Dr_Willis, but when i try to "launch" it without sudo i get permission denied [07:20] thx a3ist, i'm reading it now [07:20] greezmunkey: what is LBA? [07:20] nilsma: http://mediatomb.cc/pages/documentation [07:20] Dr_Willis, oki thanks mate, ill go have a look there and see what i can find :) [07:21] CTRL: Logical Block Addressing [07:21] CTRL: If it is currently on, try turning it off, but check smart first [07:22] CTRL: how old is the machine? [07:22] greezmunkey: it's kind of old. It was new when XP just came out. [07:22] nilsma: always check the faq --> http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/faq:faq [07:22] CTRL: carefull, you're dating yourself. [07:23] CTRL: you robbed a tomb for it didnt you [07:23] nilsma: 'How do I make MediaTomb start automatically ?' [07:23] hahahahaha it used to be my mom's, greezmunkey and vitamin-carrot [07:23] vitamin-carrot: maybe it was being used as a door stop in that tomb [07:23] Dr_Willis, ah indeed there it is, sorry :/ a bit quick on the gun i suppose :/ [07:24] When launching flightgear I get this message: The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH environment variable. [07:24] nilsma: the command -> 'mediatomb -d' in /etc/rc.local will proberly do what you want. also. [07:24] How do I fix? [07:24] nilsma: but im not sure where its getting its config files from in that case. [07:25] brb === athlion is now known as wg2k [07:26] Dr_Willis, i will go thru the faq and the docs and try what i find there - if no success ill try to add the 'mediatomb -d' to rc.local :) so much to learn and find out :p [07:27] Heya, any clue who i could tunnel flash with putty. I'v tunnled my work-pc's browser to my home linux box with putty, but somehow if i want to watch some videos which are using flash i get bitching about regionality ? [07:28] what is a good HD for linux? WD has intellipark which seems to be buggy... seagate? [07:28] nilsma: trying to remember how I start it on my server [07:29] Fujk: I use both and all go great [07:29] terry_: PATH=$PATH:/usr/games - but that's only temporary, add it to the path statment in ~/.bashrc [07:29] Fujk: westerndigital ? [07:29] terry_: /usr/games that is, not all of it ;) [07:30] nilsma: I have a n init script [07:30] onesmore there are only 32lib for flash-installer on lucid amd64 can i use them without any harm to the system? [07:31] histo, where can i find it? [07:31] sealive, Unless you know you take REAL advantage of the 64-bit capacity, you could run 32-bit ubuntu and avoid all these compatibility issues [07:31] nilsma: how'd you install mediatomb because I believe I installed from the repos. Maybe I created the init script from their docs [07:32] sealive: what do you mean? [07:32] I can't install my broadcom bcm4322 from the instruction of the wiki anyone have this card wireless ? [07:32] terry_: heh, I jsut checked here, that should have been ~/.bash_profile - my bad. [07:32] * vitamin-carrot is going to subway for dinner [07:32] so wat other windows games can i play on here? [07:32] nilsma: there is help.ubuntu.com/community/MediaTomb [07:33] histo: i installed it via apt-get, and im sure all the info i will need is in the faq/docs tha Dr_Willis sent me too :) [07:33] vitamin-carrot, croque monsieur :) [07:33] sealive: if you mean that you have the amd64 variant installed and want to install flash-installer with 32 bit libs [07:33] michael1982: the wine website has an app database [07:33] wg2k: if i klick flushplugin-install packet in synaptic it presents all lib32 on a 64 system [07:33] sealive: I believe you could 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs' to get the compatibility libraries for 64 to 32-bit [07:33] histo: nice, ill have a look at those as well hehe :) [07:33] sealive: (+) but +1 to costre [07:33] nilsma: mediatomb by default will run as a service [07:33] histo: there seems to be some bug in that meditomb is getting started befor networking is starting. (from the faq) [07:33] you can grab playonlinux a front end for wine which shows games you can install [07:33] sealive: yes, it will cause no harm, and flash will work :-) [07:33] histo: their faq may be old however. :) [07:33] michael1982: you can go to google and play pac-man [07:34] costre: footlong cordon blergh time he he he [07:34] wg2k: Thanks witchone shousdt i use nonfree or the install on lucid amd64 [07:34] pac-man rocks =) [07:34] costre: with tripple bacon [07:34] Dr_Willis: nilsma after I set up transcoding it just works for me and my dicrect tv dvr. I can stream media to my tv. [07:34] Hey guys, I need some help again... anyone mind? [07:34] !ask | WarCthulhu [07:34] WarCthulhu: 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. :-) [07:34] micheal1982: www.quakelive.com [07:34] sealive: I believe they are the same, but the one is a dummy transitional package [07:35] vitamin-carrot, We actually have a subway bar in this little town of ours .... I've never been though [07:35] Sorry bot. [07:35] sealive: which means you probably should select the other (I think its the -installer and not the -nonfree) [07:35] wg2k: so the installer woud be first choice [07:35] sealive: yes [07:35] Does anyone know where to find Firefox is installed? [07:35] wg2k: Thanks [07:35] what would you guys suggest for lightweight ftp? i only need to use it myself and maybe for users, no public access required [07:36] my wireless work but in the ubuntu menu doesn't appear anything.. [07:36] WarCthulhu, /usr/bin i think [07:36] how can i do ? [07:36] histo: nice indeed, it is also working for me here, just that i want it to start at startup/login :) transcoding?

But havent worked with it a lot yet..

[07:39] histo: sounds way too advanced for me atm :p [07:39] WarCthulhu, locate is your friend : locate firefox | grep /usr/bin [07:39] natrixnatrix89: using mediatomp because its a upnp server [07:39] natrixnatrix89: works with my satelite tv box.

[07:43] hello guys. Display brghtness is not working under ubuntu 10.04. In previous versions it used to work. Some ideas to fix that????????? Thanks in advance [07:43] lyrae: i plugged in my usb router thing [07:43] i have the driver STA unblocked.. [07:43] ay [07:44] phre, plum you need to BLACKLIST drivers for it to work [07:44] but doesn't appear anything in the list of wireless [07:44] airtonix: mine works, no worries [07:44] phre: listen to airtonix [07:44] how can i do that ? [07:44] with ubuntu server, there's no GUI. i spent an entire day trying to get it to work. Transferring files back and fourth via usb stick between current desktop and ubuntu server on netbook [07:45] i almost tossed netbook out the window [07:45] lyrae: that sucks :( [07:45] it did [07:45] airtonix, how can i do that ? [07:45] mine will work changing the brightness on startup but after a few seconds/minutes, i can't change the brightness anymore =( [07:45] lyrae, why not use ethernet [07:45] airtonix, router's in basement [07:45] im on 3rd floor [07:46] airtonix, furthermore, did not work with ethernet plugged in [07:46] lyrae, Buy a crossed tpcable :) [07:46] I don't see how a GUI would have helped [07:46] i even installed ubuntu server with ethernet cabled plugged in directly from comcast modem and it didnt work [07:46] jessid: please see either of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/560062 or https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/539163 [07:46] Cynthia thanks a lot!!!!!

[07:47] i mean cinelerella [07:48] greezmunkey, the problem is the netbook. it has an integrated broadcom nic [07:48] natrixnatrix89, Nope, I'm being kinda lazy waiting for "that" application to come along :) [07:48] lyrae: as in ethernet nic? [07:48] natrixnatrix89, The virtualdub of linux :) === Tyler is now known as Guest88254 [07:49] i try to install ndiswrapper but doesn't work.. [07:49] greezmunkey, not sure? maybe just wireless nic [07:49] phre, is it a desktop or laptop? [07:49] lyrae: google that linksys model number ;) [07:49] laptop [07:49] greezmunkey, thanks [07:49] doing it now [07:49] ubuntu is awesome.... [07:49] warner i am reading what cynthia said... do you know which one is the solution? [07:50] phre,https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [07:50] hey guys, Im currently running the full Ubuntu on my 701 overclocked to 900mhz, but still runs a bit like a dog, do you think I should go back to xubuntu? [07:50] yes i try it but in upper menu doesn't appear anything [07:50] in the wireless panel [07:51] eee 701 that is [07:51] phre, does it appear in list : iwconfig ? [07:51] guys, what's the nice thing in ubuntu 10.04? [07:51] how do i disable this god aweful vista style user control that asks for a password every time i do anything? [07:51] its ridiculous [07:51] yes iwconfig work [07:51] Cptnodegard: what's up with that, wallet BS [07:52] phre, sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart && sudo killall nm-applet && nm-applet [07:52] but i cant see nothing in the connection network [07:52] phre, does iwconfig show wlan0 ? [07:52] it even asks for a password to access hdd partitions....its 10 times worse than vista user control, and you cant disable it with a setting [07:52] phre, what device name does your device show as in iwconfig ? [07:52] i thought linux was supposed to be open, not backwards and retarded [07:53] !troll | Cptnodegard [07:53] Cptnodegard: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [07:53] airtonix, eth1 [07:53] but he is right to a certain extent [07:54] phre, are you sure ? eth1 is only for physcial wired devices [07:54] its not trolling, i want to disable the shit [07:54] fcomtois, no he is not [07:54] yes sure that card are eth1 :) [07:54] CPAMX, fcomtois a bit of google will tell you how [07:54] in the iwconfig [07:54] phre, theres no wlan0 in iwconfig? [07:54] no.. [07:54] that's bad [07:54] I mean, why is that I still need to put my password just so I can login into my chat client [07:54] phre, well then test that it sees router essid with : watch -n1 -d "iwlist eth1 scan" [07:54] sell your laptop [07:55] Cptnodegard: the language you used against "linux" makes me want to not answer you. [07:55] eth1 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument [07:55] the truth can hurt [07:55] fcomtois: in most IM clients you can make it remember the password. it's usually a check mark labelled "remember my password", like in Pidgin and Empathy [07:55] no no [07:55] airtonix ? [07:55] I mean the wallet password [07:55] CPAMX, mistell [07:55] hey whats up everyone [07:55] have been wondering already :p [07:56] Cynthia: Im a big fan of opensource, but yeah the wallet thingy is a bit annoying [07:56] now doesn't work [07:56] i guess ill go back to using a real os instead of this...whatever it is... its more restrictive toewards users than an iphone, that says a lot [07:56] i cant find the damn netmanager icon in the systray..i need to be able to set up several openvpn connections [07:56] Cptnodegard: come on [07:56] Cptnodegard: it has really improved [07:56] phre, if eth1 is the only item in your list of iwconfig then your drivers are not installed and you did not fully read the instructions [07:56] also, my envelope icon on taskbar is gone. it was how i started pidgin. any ideas? [07:57] fcomtois: ah. that's so that your IM passwords can be stored encrypted on your hard disk. and you can have your keyring (wallet?) unlocked with something like http://live.gnome.org/GnomeKeyring/Pam [07:57] fcomtois putting flowers on a dog poop is an improvement but it's still not a computer OS :P [07:57] Cptnodegard: do you still want help or are you going to continue bashing [07:57] Cptnodegard: it used to be bad a few years back [07:57] airtonix, but the card is eth1 and work but now i can't find signal.. [07:57] !troll | Cptnodegard [07:58] Cptnodegard: now it's starting to be pretty interesting [07:58] oh now work [07:58] :) [07:58] eth1 Scan completed : [07:58] Cptnodegard, if you care to use google to work this out its actually very simple. yet you choose to ramble in here like a blagart [07:58] phre, no. [07:58] airtonix: Please remain polite, thanks. [07:58] Cptnodegard.. why don't you rewrite the UAC code in windows? Oh wait... you cant! LOlrolrolrolfololol [07:58] Cptnodegard: uh, i would highly discourage disabling "that thing" [07:59] as you're switching to "root" which is the main administrator account [07:59] Cell 01 - Address: [07:59] Thomas_H: please don't feed the troll [07:59] airtonix: I agree with you, I though it was a fair comment but attacking the community is completely useless [07:59] and being in root all the time is a stupid idea [07:59] i tried googling but the "solution" it gives makes no sense to a linux noob...and as usual it requires terminal [07:59] phre, oh? you see essid ? [07:59] yeah [07:59] now yes [07:59] you usually use visudo so not to break sudo [07:59] erm [07:59] yeah [07:59] what is a good program to record something from my tv card so i can upload it to youtube and be awesome quality [08:00] i tried visudo but google tells me to "save" and theres no option to do that [08:00] Cptnodegard: it's still not there yet for noob I think, wait a 1-2 release and it will be good [08:00] he [08:00] bye [08:00] Cptnodegard: I guess if you have issues with an iPhone, this shouldn't be much worse. [08:00] greezmunkey, lulz [08:00] greezmunkey: come on, that's not fair [08:00] /rimshot [08:00] Cptnodegard: You don't want to disable the password prompts to do things, you really don't. [08:01] how to setting webcam when using Pigdin IM client???? [08:01] flacom yes i do. asking for a password to access a partition makes absolutely no sense [08:01] now i can't kill network-manager [08:01] reboot ? [08:01] Cptnodegard: Because you can "accidentally" the partition. [08:01] Cptnodegard: Which partition are you trying to access that it asks you for a password? [08:01] phre, you need to use sudo [08:01] phre, sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart [08:01] Cptnodegard: well dude you need to chill, the partition password requirement is just a protection against yourself [08:01] Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [08:01] Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) utility, e.g. stop network-manager [08:01] network-manager stop/waiting [08:01] yes [08:01] phre: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:02] sorry [08:02] greezmunkey i dont have issues with the iphone, im just saying this is more locked down. just getting the netbook launcher removed in UNE was an epically backwards task as it kept restareting and according to a statement from Ubtuntu the desktop switcher app that is supposed to do it isnt included because "you shouldnt need to disable it". if that doesnt sound like steve jobs i dont know what does [08:02] phre, btw you dont 'stop' network manager [08:02] Cptnodegard: accessing partitions requires admin rights, which is consistent with Windows 2000+ behaviour. Vista and Ubuntu (since the start of Ubuntu) separate your regular user account and your administrator rights. You'll be thankful for "that password prompt" when you accidentally Delete /usr or something. [08:02] phre, when you started network manager, you saw an essid? [08:02] Cynthia: but to be fair, normal users dont really play with their partitions on windows [08:02] yes lyrae [08:02] now work [08:02] phre, how did you start it?? im gonna try too [08:02] Cptnodegard: Which partitions are you trying to access that it asks for a password for? [08:03] but doesn't appear anything in network manager [08:03] Cynthia: and most people are admin on their machine [08:03] Cynthia, or when lololol-gamble-2007 is actually rofl-deleting-your-pron [08:03] fcomtois: Same on Linux; it's relatively rare that you have to use the admin rights for partitions [08:03] iwconfig eth1 txpower on [08:03] Flannel all of them. Partitions that only contain media files etc, even [08:03] phre, thats what you did to see it? [08:03] g'night [08:03] Cynthia: but still happens more often under linux :o) [08:04] no with iwconfig eth1 essid "my card name" [08:04] i saw it [08:04] !lnw | fcomtois Cptnodegard :) [08:04] fcomtois Cptnodegard :): Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [08:04] Flannel: ? [08:04] Cptnodegard: Where did these partitions come from? Did you populate them with linux? or were these Windows partitons you're copying over? [08:04] vitamin-carrot: yes? [08:04] oh sorry "my wireless name" [08:04] :-) [08:04] Flannel: you wouldnt be called Dan would you?' [08:04] phre, so when you say you followed the instructions here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:05] phre, which ones did you follow ? [08:05] ubottu: been using linux since 1998, so please spare me the lecture on the so call distinctions [08:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:05] vitamin-carrot: No [08:05] what is max GB of ram for 64-bit 10.04 desktop edition? [08:05] phre, there are at least three sets of instructions ? [08:05] yes i follow this but in network manager doesn't work only in console [08:05] Flannel: cool just checking - a friend of mine uses Flannel [08:05] did not work for me [08:05] Fujk: Higher than 4 GB, that's for sure :) It will support as much as your motherboard can [08:05] Fujk: more than you can put to your machine [08:06] phre, no. my question is : which set of instructions on that page did you follow ? [08:06] Fujk: as much as you can throw at it afaik [08:06] Flannel: I was running W7U, then booted to Lucid live and used gparted to make room for a linux partition as well as two NTFS partitions for files. Those two are the ones it keeps asking for a password to access. But it generally asks for apassword for everything; installing apps, using terminal, etc. I want to log in using a password, but i dont want to continue proving im not insane every time i click something [08:06] with the STA wireless [08:06] airtonix, [08:06] Cptnodegard: open up a terminal and type 'sudo gparted', then it won't ask you for the password for each single partition access, only once to run the program. [08:07] b43/STA [08:07] Cptnodegard: The reason you're asked for a password when installing (or removing) packages is because you don't want to just let anyone do it. As your regular user, you're just a regular user, and then after you put in your password, you get elevated rights for a short while. [08:07] I'm having issues with Xorg crashing. I have compiled a new kernel for better video performance and to try to get PAE to work. I also can't get my computer to suspend when I close the lid. [08:07] Cptnodegard: (+) Also, I believe System / Administration / GParted on the LiveCD does 'sudo' to launch the command, too. I don't see what your point is, anymore. [08:08] I rarely get asked my password. except when doing system type tasks.. as it should be doing.. [08:08] Cynthia its not in gparted it asks for a PW, its when accessing the file manager. I'm running Karmic now, not the live Lucid, installed it after i ran the live version to partition [08:08] Cptnodegard: when you are mounting some fulesystems on the 'fly' it may ask. You could add an entry in the fstab to auto mount them [08:09] Alguém fala português? [08:09] reboot now see you soon [08:09] Dr_Willis: yeah that's it, how do I do that? [08:09] Cptnodegard: Then one of your /etc/fstab mounts (automatic mounts on startup) must be only allowing root for accesses [08:09] !pt | isaac_ [08:09] isaac_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [08:09] Hey can someone help me? I messed up and need to undo this. Help please? http://benrobb.com/2007/01/15/howto-start-subversion-at-boot-on-ubuntu/ [08:09] !fstab | Cptnodegard [08:09] Cptnodegard: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:09] Cptnodegard: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows can actually help you do it too [08:09] Cptnodegard: if they are ntfs/vfat filesystems.. install/run the ntfs-config tool [08:10] what he needs to do is mount those partitions in root via fstab [08:10] i`m having a problem.can someone help me, how to access a lock folder [08:10] Chaorain: What did you mess up on? [08:10] mitiora, have you tried a root nautilus? [08:10] is there a logical reason why it doesnt mount internqal drives by default? [08:10] hi is there any way i can rip out UPSTART? -- im deploying ubuntu servers and dont want beta-style apps on a production environment. [08:10] where is it [08:11] where is it root nautilus [08:11] Cptnodegard: if you told the installer the mountpoints to use during the install.. it would. [08:11] you need to type gksudo nautilus in terminal [08:11] Cptnodegard: i always tell the installer to put my windows hd on /media/Windows and so forth [08:11] ok i'm uninstalling the rollercoaster tycoon 3 platnem and going to reinstall it ok and see how i go ok all === wgrant_ is now known as wgrant [08:11] that should be 'gksudo nautilus' without the quotes [08:11] Cptnodegard, probably because you're not root. those other parittions may belong to root and thus you dont have access to it. [08:11] Cptnodegard, i dont know tbh. just edit fstab [08:11] Cptnodegard: and its all about security/safty. I may not want everyone on my linux box to access my windows drives.. :) [08:11] so, anyone versed in hooking up Ubuntu to a TV and then ridding themselves of cutoff? [08:12] Surlent777: what kind of tv? using dvi/vga/hdmi? svideo? [08:12] mitiora, you need to be careful with that though because it gives you root privilege while browsing. You can really mess some stuff up. [08:12] Dr_Willis well that might be fine, but this is a netbook, not exactly the DMV database [08:13] Cptnodegard: security is a process/procedure. not somthing you just toss on. [08:13] jijik [08:13] Dr_Willis: I belive it is HDMI (the one that resembles USB?) on a "Sharp" TV, using an Nvidia 250GTS and KDE [08:13] phre, if you get any success, let me know [08:13] Cptnodegard: if you had told the installer to mount them.. then it would have done it. [08:13] kd os brasileiros? [08:13] aqui [08:13] #probolinggo === diffrant is now known as lamequestioner [08:13] !br | isaac_ [08:13] não tem ninguém aqui [08:13] isaac_: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [08:13] Dr_Willis it never asked, at least not in understandable terms [08:13] Surlent777: Never used one. :) im old skool and still using svideo. === ratIh is now known as aku [08:13] airtonix, [08:13] you are here ? [08:13] Dr_Willis: I would imagine the process would be similar, yeah? [08:13] Cptnodegard: in the partitining layout tools - it had places for mounting the other partitions. === aku is now known as aku_adalah [08:14] como br? [08:14] Surlent777: should work the same as a 2nd monitor. the fact its a tv. dosent really matter. [08:14] isaac_: /join #ubuntu-br [08:14] isaac_, #ubuntu-br , divirta-se [08:14] Dr_Willis: I'm using it as the primary monitor [08:14] its not a big deal, ill just go back to using windows. i never realized linux was so backwards and paranoid and required so much work to actually make it usable. [08:14] Cptnodegard: the ntfs-config tool i belive can also auto-add any partitions that exist. [08:14] Cptnodegard: Have fun. [08:14] que diversão existe lá? [08:14] Cptnodegard: do whatever you want. we dont care. [08:15] isaac_: This channel is English only, please /join #ubuntu-br [08:15] * Dr_Willis clicks on the UAE ok button 100 times.... [08:15] problem solved..thanx [08:15] you're welcome [08:15] Não posso ficar aqui? [08:15] Surlent777: so its the only monitor? [08:15] Dr_Willis: Yes [08:15] now the card work but in network-manager doesn't appear anything [08:15] Cptnodegard: maybe a little work is good for you sometimes it worth it if you can take it [08:15] pode ser os dois [08:15] não acha? [08:15] Surlent777: that is weird. You may want to check the forums for your exact card - there may be some tweaks/bugs [08:15] Cptnodegard, when someone breaks into your machine, and is able to go into all your partitions, and delete them all, you'll understand why all the security [08:15] isaac_, hi [08:15] hi [08:16] apt-get postfix-mysql breaks my mysql installation(binary) and whenever I try to start the mysql server, it can't find /usr/local/mysql/bin. I have to specify --basedir everytime! [08:16] isaac_, english here [08:16] if you go to Psychocats, she shows you how to set up a launcher so you won't need to type in the terminal every time. [08:16] isaac_: No one here understands Portuguese, only enough to know that it is Portuguese. Please use Google Translate or type in your IRC client /join #ubuntu-br [08:16] anyone knows why? [08:16] or a workaround? [08:16] entendo perfeitamente [08:16] Dr_Willis: I was feeling adventurous. In Windows 7 it was also cut off, but I was able to use the NVIDIA control panel to manually resize it. The nvidia tool we have has no such option =/ [08:16] lyrae: i find people often dont understand that Ubuntu is a broader range OS then they are used to. it can work as a 'big server' or a 'desktop' and thus needs to remain flexiable. [08:16] one last thing. can i choose any options for grub from within ubuntu? or does that require terminal like everything else? [08:16] Cynthia, i understand. i told him about ubuntu-br but he says its no fun there [08:16] linux only has 40 known viruses google how many windows has [08:16] Ah. [08:16] Surlent777: check teh nvidia docs ther emay be some options you can use by hand in the xorg.conf to correct it. May just not be a gui tool for it. [08:16] isaac_, ok. please /join #ubuntu-br for portuguese [08:17] Dr_Willis, and it's free. why bitch about it when he didnt even pay for it, right? [08:17] Depois passo lá [08:17] lyrae: i find oftem people complain MORE when they dont pay.. go figure.. [08:17] lyrae: Please mind your language, thanks. [08:17] haha yea [08:17] Flannel, sorry [08:17] vou dar uma visitada [08:17] forgot this is rated pg [08:17] * Dr_Willis goes back to working with FreeNX [08:17] there should be a #ubuntu-r [08:17] lyrae, you have a broadcom ? [08:18] phre, yes. bcm4312 [08:18] isaac_: #ubuntu-br. Aburrido, si, pero este comprende tu [08:18] and what procedure you follow ? [08:18] in the site [08:18] can someone help me with an issue I'm having with Xorg? [08:18] phre, everyone i could find. none worked [08:19] espanhol fica difícil entender! [08:19] but my card work.. strange [08:19] phre, except ndiswrapper. i had t use ndiswrapper years ago, and it was fine. havent tried it again yet [08:19] thunda: Please describe it with the most details you can fit onto one line. Graphics card, brand/model? Steps you've already tried to figure out the problem? Etc. [08:19] phre, what procedures did you follow, and, did you have it plugged in via ethernet? [08:19] yes with STA modules [08:19] phre, link please [08:20] And hello everyone. [08:20] hi [08:20] oi [08:20] http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [08:20] this lyrae [08:21] Of course...I compiled a kernel with KernelCheck to improve video speed and graphics performance. Now, it will occationally crash and I can't get my computer to suspend when I close the lid. It will suspend manually. I've checked LaunchPad and have followed a few bugs but nothing offers a solution. [08:21] <|corpse|> can you downgrade linux distros in command line or do you need to fully reinstall? [08:21] |corpse|: normally one dosent/cant downgrade easially [08:21] phre, ok hold on dont leave [08:21] <|corpse|> Dr_Willis: ok thanks [08:21] |corpse|: downgrading is very difficult. I've heard of a script that can help, but it's always risky [08:22] <|corpse|> Surlent777: yeah its no problem just installing 9.10 [08:22] |corpse|: It is for me because of all the crazy things I do...gets hard to keep track of =( [08:22] |corpse|: In case with Ubuntu, you _may_ be able to run something like "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | sed s/lucid/karmic/ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list", but the dangers are that you can end up breaking the entire thing (and it's quite likely) [08:22] phre, then what [08:23] how do i make TTY display CJK fonts in the filename correctly ? all it shows now is a diamond. And is there a CJK ime for tty ? [08:23] theadmin: wouldn't those packages be listed at a lower version, preventing an "upgrade", as it were? [08:23] <|corpse|> theadmin: ok thanks. i set up a file server and im having issues that seem to come with 10.04 so i want to try out 9.10 [08:23] Surlent777: exactly, unless you uninstalled and reinstalled everything [08:23] Surlent777: Unsure. As I stated, you "may" be able. Not you "should" be able [08:23] theadmin, |corpse|: downgrading won't work like that. apt won't install a lower version automatically. You'd have to pin each package, downgrade, and then unpin them to get normal usage again. [08:23] how do i fix "out of scan range" in fullscreen OpenGL game? [08:24] It's certainly not a happy process. [08:24] Flannel: Woah. Okay, I didn't know that, thanks for explaining [08:24] phre, help a brother out [08:24] phre, whatd you do with those drivers [08:24] theadmin, btw 'sed -ibak s/x/y/ file-to-edit' would edit the file in place and save the original as file-to-edit.bak [08:24] theadmin: Apt always chooses higher versions, which is good for upgrades, not good if you wanted to downgrade. [08:25] Flannel: Well, since I'm totally unfamiliar with other package managers (e.g. yum, emerge, etc), can't say whether that's good or bad :/ [08:25] I may have to try manually up/downgrading zsnes and libmtpfs =/ [08:26] (zsnes is partially broken (filters don't seem to work) and mtpfs is completely broken) [08:26] how do i get GRUB2 to boot a LiveUSB? i dont want "from a liveusb" i want it configured to boot a system off the liveusb by selecting it in my grub menu when i boot up. [08:26] CkhiKuzad: I [08:27] CkhiKuzad: I've tried running a system off of USB. It doesn't work very well. You're only going to give yourself headaches [08:27] CkhiKuzad: I don't think telling a hard drive to boot a USB removable device would be such a good idea, because the hd(N) number for the USB device can change very haphazardly [08:27] Surlent777: i have had a headache based on this for a week and a half, i WILL get this working [08:27] hi [08:27] <|corpse|> Surlent777: right now my system can only boot from my usb and i cant fix it [08:28] How can i install broadcom STA driver via command line? [08:28] aha! [08:28] i am unable to remove xubunto from this guide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [08:28] in ttf-indic-fonts some fonts has bugs, i cleared that, now how can update that package? [08:28] plz help me [08:28] how would i get the ubuntu netbook remix liveUSB to boot from GRUB2? [08:29] I'm so disappointed with the latest Ubuntu version... [08:29] i am unable to remove xubunto from this guide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [08:29] hello [08:29] |corpse|: I don't mean booting a liveusb, I mean installing an OS onto said USB. Tried it with Mint and it was almost uselessly slow and crazy [08:29] hey on Lucid the restricted nvidia drivers crash my system, what I have to do please? [08:29] prince-arif: What's wrong? Have you reported bugs for the things you've seen broken? [08:29] my card is 7500 LE [08:29] vikas: do "sudo tasksel remove xubuntu-desktop && sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop" [08:29] prince-arif: join the club...but the clubhouse is gonna have to be #ubuntu-offtopic, support channel, all that rot [08:29] 1. When I turned on my computer without my network cable - I had to restart the whole machine to make my networking work. [08:30] errr prince-arif ^^ [08:30] <|corpse|> Surlent777: ahh, i installed my server from a usb but the bootloader is on the usb so that needs to be booted from bios to load grub to get into the server >< [08:30] okay I confused myself [08:30] stupid blurry TV [08:30] DISREGARD THAT [08:30] Surlent777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:30] 2. When I first put some CD in - now it seems Ubuntu doesn't mount automatically any. [08:30] This is what I just want to do now - how to fix that stupid CD-auto-mount problem? [08:30] os something is hapenning thnx [08:30] It doesn't work anymore! [08:30] prince-arif: How did you install Ubuntu? Ubuntu LIVECD? [08:30] Yep. [08:31] red2kic: Yep. [08:31] what do v mean by tasksel [08:31] prince-arif: The problem for CDs has been sighted since Karmic of 7 months ago (or even Jaunty, of 13 months ago), please look for bugs related to CD mounting and mark yourself affected [08:31] man. people need to give instructions via command line and not gui [08:31] us installing a server version have no GUI and thus online instructions are no good [08:31] What is the gui app that can be used to edit ssh keys? [08:31] hello [08:31] vikas: It's a nice little tool in debian to "configure the system to fulfill a specific task". I call it a metapackage manager :D [08:32] I remember enjoying Ubuntu since 8.04... Now since 9.04 it's... I'm sorry, a bullshit. [08:32] I have a trouble regarding ubuntu 10.04 [08:32] <|corpse|> enherit: ssh finder [08:32] ok thnx [08:32] prince-arif: Well... hardy is still supported [08:32] when I start with ubuntu 10.04 cd, it says boot error [08:32] prince-arif: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devicekit-disks/+bug/397734 [08:32] any idea? [08:32] edmond: make sure your CD is not corrupted. Check the md5 sum. [08:32] And it boots even slower.... [08:32] nobody help me? [08:32] I always disable the silly dialogs that pop up when i insert a cd/dvd/ I perfer to just go to places->computer when i want to get there [08:32] prince-arif: look for "CD mounting" issues on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ , mark yourself affected and provide input [08:33] prince-arif: But honestly, if it doesn't work for you, either make it work or just use another distro. Complaining is useless. [08:33] Cynthia: thank you very much! [08:33] will is surely revert me to ubuntu [08:33] hm...well, it starts with languages selection, and when it starts it to load the kernel...it says boot error... [08:33] <|corpse|> enherit: its sudo apt-get install sshmenu sshmenu-gnome [08:33] |corpse|: thanks [08:33] <|corpse|> enherit: then you add it to the panel [08:33] hi, how can i fix the sound problem with ubuntu 10.04 on a sony vaio E series vpceb11fm? [08:33] vikas: When you are talking to someone/something, put it's/his/her nickname in the message [08:34] I noticed today when copying some cd disks (multi copies) it kept auto-mounting the cd i was about to eject (that the copy program was trying to eject) Now thats an annoyance. :) [08:34] alfredo: what is "the" sound problem? [08:34] vikas: Gets damn confusing otherwise [08:34] ok [08:34] 'theadmin: ok' [08:34] :) [08:34] on Lucid the restricted nvidia drivers crash my system, what I have to do please? [08:34] we all saw the context though Cynthia [08:34] lyrae, [08:34] when i try to boot to 10.04 from unetbootin, it boots fine, but when i try to install it, it wants me to unmount /dev/sda. and i cant do that because THATS where all the files to install ubuntu are kept, same with the entire directory tree for the unetbootin distro thing [08:34] theadmin: ok [08:34] are you here ? [08:34] lyrae, [08:34] phre, yes! [08:34] lyrae, [08:34] ok [08:34] phre: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:34] how do i make TTY display CJK fonts in the filename correctly ? all it shows now is a diamond. And is there a CJK ime for tty ? [08:34] how do i fix "out of scan range" in fullscreen OpenGL game? [08:34] Surlent777: let's get vikas practicing right away hm? :D [08:35] vikas: Well, anyway. It should revert you to a regular GNOME desktop [08:35] wildbat, why not try some weeboo distro? I don;t think it exist in plain debian [08:35] lol [08:35] CkhiKuzad: You will need to use another partition. The installer needs to format the target partition, and so it can't be both the target and the source, if that makes any sense [08:35] phre, how did you instal [08:36] you have follow the readme ? [08:36] so if i Unetbootin from my debian drive, it might work? [08:36] theadmin: it is working let see [08:36] CkhiKuzad: Yes it might [08:36] i follow the readme STA [08:36] and /dev/sda1 is the main hard drive, i want to format and install on /dev/sda2 [08:37] * cab00m thanks anyway for the (non) help. [08:37] phre let me try [08:37] CkhiKuzad: You used unetbootin to install TO /dev/sda1 that you then booted from? [08:37] In "ps aux" for listing current processes, what is the "aux" for? Manpage, as usual, is pretty confusing (otherwise wouldn't ask) [08:37] yes, Dr_Willis. [08:37] cab00m: which restricted drivers did you try [08:37] cab00m: and what do you mean by crash your system? [08:37] histo, nvidia-glx-new [08:38] the driver that show in gnome icon [08:38] CkhiKuzad: ive wondered if that was workable. :0 that was sort of a live-frugal type install. I tend to just use unetbootin to install to a flash drive i then install from. [08:38] cab00m: was the recomended one or nvidia-glx-current? [08:38] theadmin: 'a'll users, 'u'nhooked processes, 'x'tended output format [08:38] anyone? [08:38] tried too that driver but it crash anyway sometimes... [08:38] my keyboard (only within gnome?) is stuck in a state where it thinks its in usa but the homerow looks roughly like asdf+321, and i have to push the function key on my keyboard to get regular characters...as if the function key is 'stuck' on in gnome alone, is there any way to reset this??3+211 [08:38] cab00m: actually i believe the package is nvidia-current [08:38] theadmin: unhooked processes are those that have no controlling TTY; extended information is to display PID, mem, command, etc. [08:38] Cynthia: Hm... I suppose "ps ux" would do for current-user processes only? [08:38] cab00m: what do you mena by crash? [08:38] CkhiKuzad: I have setup grub2 to boot a iso file from a hard drive i then used to install from.. but that was not the same hard drive. [08:38] it works just fine until i get into gnome in any case' [08:38] theadmin: Yes, only the current user [08:39] themusicgod1: Do you have numlock on? [08:39] histo, I need to reset to get works the pc again [08:39] arg [08:39] Cynthia: Thanks. [08:39] that works [08:39] forget it, i give up. [08:39] cab00m: it locks up? [08:39] i could have sworn i tried that earlier [08:39] oh well, works now, thanks [08:39] histo, everything hangs, cursor, keyboard and screen, I reset [08:39] theadmin: is that possible to install mac os directly from hdd [08:39] CkhiKuzad: Well, if you host the installer files in /dev/sda2 and install to /dev/sda1, you won't have problems [08:39] awesome. ubuntu server doesnt come with gcc. cant install sta driver [08:40] hahaha wow, laptop keyboards are crazy [08:40] cab00m: if you use the free driver it doesn't hang? [08:40] themusicgod1: Assuming this is a laptop, there's a "number pad" on the right half of the keyboard :) [08:40] vikas: Macs? Sorry, never used em [08:40] lyrae: you can still install it: sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:40] yeah [08:40] ok [08:40] Cynthia, no internet. trying to install wireless driver [08:40] Cynthia, i could possibly install it in /dev/sda3 [08:40] right? [08:40] histo, I don't know what exactly need to be installed from free and if supports 3d [08:40] hello [08:40] I'm here for this :) [08:40] o_O No gcc in server edition? What kind of a server can run without a C compiler? :/ [08:40] lyrae: you obviously have internet now. Go download the package and put it on USB [08:40] cab00m: remove the nvidia driver and see if the system continues locking up. [08:41] theadmin: Plenty of servers. And you can install it easily enough should you need it. [08:41] Surlent777, thats what im doing [08:41] cab00m: or disable it in the system > admin > hardware drivers [08:41] cab00m: it could be something else causing the problem [08:41] Flannel: True... Ubuntu repos have freakin' everything :D [08:41] theadmin: not twin =( [08:41] histo, ok, and for 3d (if this works)? [08:41] lyrae: on a computer with internet access, run 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install --download build-essential' and get all the files from /var/cache/apt/archives - then copy those over to your server via LAN or USB or whatever [08:41] Dr_Willis, everyone, thank you for all your help, but all of it requires stuff i dont have, I.E. a CD drive, a burner and a BIOS that can support booting to something other than floppy disks and CDs [08:41] Surlent777: twin? [08:41] cab00m: well we'll have to figure that out if the nvidia driver is int he repos perhaps you can download one from nvidia.com [08:41] I am trying to connect to IMAP server using command line but receive this error Command received without terminating sequence. Any Help?? [08:42] also, i want to know how to enable floppy support in ubuntu 9.04, maybe i can get this working [08:42] theadmin: an obscure program that's basically a CLI/TTY "window manager". Cute, but buggy last time I tried it. Author's a really nice guy though. Helped me set it up best as we could [08:42] I've tried the run installer from nvidia.com but it totally break the system :( [08:42] debjit: how are you connecting with command line? [08:42] Surlent777: Uhm. GNU Screen? [08:42] lyrae: then 'apt-get install build-essential' will work on the server [08:42] lyrae, Cynthia: if you still have your Ubuntu CD, you can get it from that too. [08:42] the first time I try to ssh, gnome prompt me with a password. why is that? [08:42] histo: using openssl command [08:42] Surlent777: That one is even better :D [08:42] !nvidia | cab00m Here are soem directions [08:42] cab00m Here are soem directions: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:42] CkhiKuzad: you could convert teh Unetbootin install to one that has a persistant save file so you could in theory save chanves and so forth. :) as a work around.. thats not wuite the same as a nomral install.. but its close [08:42] theadmin: of course one can use that, but this is a graphical window manager. With graphical sub-terminals [08:42] Surlent777: Oh. [08:42] So that seems Ubuntu 10.04 no longer supports auto-mounting feature? [08:42] Flannel: I thought the CD only had the build-essential metapackage itself in the CD's /pool/ [08:43] Flannel, yes i have my usb stick i installed from [08:43] okay, thanks for the help [08:43] how can i do it from there [08:43] prince-arif: it works here [08:43] any idea what would cause gparted to error out when performing operations saying "the kernel failed to re-read the partition table (Device or Resource is busy) [08:43] Hm... [08:43] prince-arif: that is incorrect. My system still automounts cds [08:43] no, i want to know how to enable floppy disk support in 9.04 [08:43] i have to add the usb stick to the repository, and ive tried that before with no lucjk [08:43] Cynthia: No, it has everything. Having just build-essential without any of the depends would be totally worthless [08:43] I let you know when I do, thanks again [08:43] this is killing me- I have to use a live cd to do any drive modifications [08:43] !floppy > CkhiKuzad [08:43] CkhiKuzad, please see my private message [08:43] prince-arif: It works very well, actually, *except* for CDs on many systems. Hard drives, USB drives, etc., work flawlessly [08:43] thanks histo [08:43] prince-arif: even mounts my ipods and cameras etc.. [08:44] Flannel: hm, I could have sworn I saw only build-essential. (and fwcutter, and some other utils) but you're probably right [08:44] i struggle with regex, whats a good gui app for renaming multiple files according to complex conditions? [08:44] I have also noticed that there's no entry for CDS in /etc/fstab! [08:44] Cynthia: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.list If you want to see everything that's in there [08:44] prince-arif: the auto-mounter is supposed to handle them [08:44] prince-arif: Sure there aren't. [08:44] So /etc/fstab is obsolete? [08:44] nixjr: try searching "batch renamer" or something like that in Synaptic. Might find a few things [08:45] prince-arif: ...No, it's just not for removable devices [08:45] Folks, is 10.04 a long term support release? [08:45] God my web browsing is slow. It sits resolving host even though my dig times are very low. [08:45] prince-arif: for automountable media it is; for internal hard drive partitions it's still in use [08:45] richardcavell: Yes [08:45] Anyone have an idea? [08:45] Flannel: thanks [08:45] Flannel: Ah, I see gcc in there. Thanks for the link :) [08:45] Ok, one step further: need to fix the auto mounter. :-) [08:45] Anyone here using 10.04 on a Macbook? Can anyone vouch for how good it runs on Mac? [08:45] histo: disable ipv6 [08:45] Jaunty was a bit ordinary, Karmic was considerably better but still buggy [08:45] lyrae: Your Ubuntu Server CD should have it then, per Flannel's message [08:46] Flannel, i wouldnt mind installing the server again if i can pass arguments on installation that would install gcc. is that possible? [08:46] Cynthia: Oh, we're on server? Thats this one ;) http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.list [08:46] GSF1200S: I'll have to find some updated instructions I thought I disabled it but maybe not. [08:46] histo: http://en.opensuse.org/Disable_IPv6_for_Firefox [08:46] Flannel: Yes, lyrae wants to install gcc on -server :P [08:46] Cynthia, i installed via usb stick, not cd. so yes it has it but its not a repository in synaptic [08:46] its for opensuse, but all it is a firefox change [08:46] GSF1200S: using chromium here [08:46] Wow. It's noisy here today [08:47] i need to install gcc to make STA (wireless) driver =/ [08:47] Surlent777, thanks, that wording you used helped me find what i needed, an app called gprename [08:47] lyrae: make it one, via software sources --> third-party (tab) --> add , or /etc/apt/sources.list [08:47] histo: hmm, cant tell you then- I dont have chromium [08:47] Cynthia, no GUI on server [08:47] nixjr: awesome. I was thinking of some KDE app but that works too. [08:47] lyrae: The automagic stuff for CD-as-repo sometimes has issues with USB tsuff, so it might be a case where you justhave to manually grep through the debs and install what you need, until you can get onto the internet [08:47] GSF1200S: on ifconfig I don't see an ipv6 address for my card [08:47] Yep, USBs won't mount either. [08:47] lyrae: you mentioned synaptic [08:47] Hey all. What do I use to get grub to rewrite /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [08:47] Cynthia, yes my fault, i meant apt-get [08:47] Viking667: sudo update-grub [08:47] Flannel, that made me want to cry [08:48] histo: neither did I yet I had lag times until I disabled it in Firefox- made no sense to me [08:48] and trust me when i say ive edited sources.list to try to add the usb to the repo list. [08:48] every possible way. and no luck [08:48] GSF1200S: yeah I'll have to figure out if it can be disabled in chrome [08:48] thank you [08:48] well, I know about:plugins works for chrome [08:48] lyrae: You can't manually add the CD to the repos (sources.list) because there's some extra stuff that goes on [08:48] or at least it did... [08:48] lyrae: 'deb file:///PATH/TO/USBStick/ lucid main restricted' ? [08:49] histo: try disabling ipv6 via grub? [08:49] Cynthia, i shall try [08:49] lyrae: You use apt-cdrom to do so, and lets see what we can come up with for USB [08:49] [lyrae/ me] or perhaps this doesn't work [08:49] /dev/fd0 does not exist on my system -.- [08:49] i need to know how to make it possible to use floppy disks [08:49] CkhiKuzad: if you have a floppy drive but no device for it, please check your BIOS [08:49] Yeah, sure, no external media actually mounts... [08:50] Surlent777: how? also how would I even see if its enabled. I thought I disabled it by some method before but i've also reinstalled can't remember if I did it again. [08:50] lyrae: I'd try apt-cdrom -m -d=/path/to/mount add [08:50] Cynthia, i cant do that while staying in IRC. i need to know how to allow floppies to be ACCESSED FROM WITHIN UBUNTU 9.04 (that wasnt shouting, it was extreme emphasis by increasing decibels) [08:50] histo: I can't seem to remember how to check to see if it's on, but I may be able to dig up how to do what I said [08:50] Flannel, do i have to mount sdc1 to /media/usb or can i use -d=/dev/sdc1 ? [08:51] lyrae: I'm pretty sure it can be arbitrary [08:51] lyrae: sdc1 isn't usable though [08:51] lyrae: At least, from the filesystems perspective [08:51] CkhiKuzad: [shouting] ;) [while staying on IRC] you will probably have to leave IRC to check the BIOS; depending on the manufacturer, you'll need to press ESC, DEL or F10 to enter Setup and find the floppy drive A: option, and enable it [08:52] CkhiKuzad: after enabling the floppy drive, you will be automatically able to access it back in Linux with /dev/fd0 [08:52] histo: try adding to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1" [08:52] Flannel, typing that gives "repeat this process for the rest of the CDs in your set [08:52] lyrae: the manpage says you might even need to add it to fstab (because its expecting a CDrom) [08:53] hi guys [08:53] lyrae: Hmm, we might have a winner then. What does `sudo apt-get update` give you? [08:53] Surlent777: Yeah i just found I have it disabled in sysctl.conf [08:53] histo: Try it this way too. It may still help. [08:53] we dont have a winner, Flannel =[ [08:53] histo: you can always revert if it does nothign [08:54] Surlent777: yea let me add it [08:54] does anyone know any sign cutting software for ubuntu [08:54] lyrae: No? What's required to get this machine on the internet? just build-essential? [08:54] rsb_: no, but I do know that a chainsaw makes for a spectacular time =P [08:54] apt-get update gives errors "failed to fetch http:...", a bunch of them. then i tried sudo apt-get intall gcc, and package not found [08:54] lyrae: Ah, yeah, http is it looking for the internet ones. [08:55] Flannel, need to get gcc in there so i can 'make'/install wireless driver [08:55] Flannel, yep [08:55] -.- Cynthia, you know nothing of my work. i know that the floppy drive is enabled, its just that apparently ubuntu 9.04 doesnt think that anyone uses them. [08:55] used for sign making [08:55] 03:41:33 Cynthia lyrae: on a computer with internet access, run 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install --download build-essential' and get all the files from /var/cache/apt/archives - then copy those over to your server via LAN or USB or whatever [08:55] lyrae: Alright, lets go the easy way then, give me a sec to give you a few spammy lines that'll get you there ;) [08:55] abttune! [08:55] radium number plate [08:55] * histo wonders if QoS would help my resolving slowdowns. I even have my own cachine server. [08:55] which ides work with bzr? [08:55] Cynthia, i will try that if all else fails =D [08:56] on windows i use flexi sign pro [08:56] lyrae: mount your USB, and go to /pool/main on it [08:56] lyrae: the files shall be copied to the same directory on the server, i.e. /var/cache/apt/archives [08:56] forget it, i will use Debian for it, it at least still has support [08:56] lyrae: This is Lucid, yes? [08:56] yes [08:56] next step :) [08:57] but now i love ubuntu so much thhat i want to use the machine on ubuntu too [08:57] Cynthia, once i bring the files over via usb stick, i wont know what to do with them [08:57] aka i dont know how to install, teehee. i always let apt-get do the work for me [08:57] Nope still takes about 8 seconds to load the google.com [08:57] rsb_: in all seriousness, you're asking for something that most people will never use. You're better off asking Google or searching Synaptic [08:57] anyone has anyone has any idea [08:57] I don't get why resolvign is so slow. I've tried switching dns etc... My download speeds are fine. [08:58] i did try it [08:58] lyrae: after having copied the files to the server's /var/cache/apt/archives, any attempt to install software will consult that first. so you'll be able to apt-get as normal [08:58] CkhiKuzad, just as a quick test you could try 'sudo modprobe floppy' -- this should be done automatically, but still you can try [08:58] how do i fix "out of scan range" in fullscreen OpenGL game? [08:58] Cynthia, oh i get what youre trying to do [08:58] but couldnt get a proper solution [08:58] rsb_: if google doesn't know about software that unusual, we probably won't either, sorry [08:58] lyrae: apt-get install build-essential --> 10 packages installed, need to get 0 B of archives, etc. [08:58] Omg, it seems even Alt+Shift+F1/F2/F3... won't work anymore! Dear Canonical, Ltd, what have you done.... [08:58] then zoom zoom, installed! :) [08:58] Hi ; ] [08:58] i clean the cache directory on this computer with internet. download the install essentials. put the install essentials in the server's apt cache dir [08:59] and then just run apt-get install? [08:59] prince-arif: It's Ctrl+Alt+FNUMBER from within the GUI [08:59] lyrae: Correct [08:59] Cynthia, oh, smart! [08:59] ok thanks guys for your responses [08:59] oh hey [08:59] will try soon. let me just finish flannels instruction [08:59] lyrae: You may also omit the cleaning step, if you want a copy of all the internet-gotten packages. [08:59] no ill clean [08:59] i'm so happy being hear [09:00] lyrae: Ok :) [09:00] what ? [09:00] rsb_, Do you mean like CNC-guidance programs? [09:00] Flannel, awaiting instructions. whenever youre ready [09:01] cnc i dont know [09:01] Cynthia, take a look: "Buffer I/O on device fd0". And when I try "sudo modprobe -r floppy", I get: "FATAL: Module floppy is in use.". Yeah, somehow need to remove this floppy. [09:01] lyrae: I can't remember anymore, do you have gcc installed already? (apt-cache policy gcc) [09:01] its a vinyl cutting machine [09:01] Buffer I/O error* [09:01] prince-arif: Er. I don't know how to do that :( [09:01] used for stickerr cutting [09:01] rsb_, Does it output on parallel port or the like? [09:02] sign making [09:02] Tried to blacklist it, but it doesn't work. :-( [09:02] yeah [09:02] how do i get yaffs2 support on ubuntu server? [09:02] will i need to build my own kernel? [09:02] rsb_, You could try to wine the program [09:02] its like a printer [09:02] hey, i've just installed 10.4 and i have to say i like gwibber. but i would love to add more networks into it. are there any plugins out there or maybe another software with more sites? [09:03] but it dosent print it cuts the sticker and we paste them [09:03] i can't use my microphone... can someone help me find where i can download mic addons? [09:03] it's a built in hp mic [09:03] where ever we need to [09:03] does anybody is using btrfs? [09:04] Flannel, says 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [09:04] release a=now [09:04] lyrae: Good. Alright, lets see if this works [09:04] the programme dosent work on wine [09:04] I dont suppose anyone has noticed a way to make a 'live usb' disk install (to a flash drive) NOT ask the 'test it out/install' question? I want it to go straight to the 'test ubuntu' and never ask to install. [09:04] lyrae: Oh, is this 386 or amd64? [09:05] Flannel, however, just typing 'gcc' says 'the program 'gcc' can be found in the following packages: *gcc, *pentium-builder' [09:05] and i forgot. how do i check if im running 32 or 64. processor is 64, but im not sure which OS version i downloaded. forgot [09:06] lyrae: uname -a, look for i686-gnu or amd64-gnu [09:06] Cynthia, thanks. Flannel 32bit [09:06] lyrae: on the USB drive, check /README.diskdefines [09:06] Ah, alright. [09:07] lyrae: From the /pool/main folder of your mounted USB, lets try this command: [09:07] can someone help me fix my mic/.? [09:07] ok thanks i google it myslg [09:07] sudo dpkg -i b/build-essential/build-essential_11.4build1_i386.deb m/make-dfsg/make_3.81-7ubuntu1_i386.deb e/eglibc/libc6-dev_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb e/eglibc/libc-dev-bin_2.11.1-0ubuntu7_i386.deb l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.32-21.32_i386.deb d/dpkg/dpkg-dev_1.15.5.6ubuntu4_all.deb p/patch/patch_2.6-2ubuntu1_i386.deb g/gcc-defaults/cpp_4.4.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb g/gcc-defaults/g++_4.4.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb g/gcc-defaults/gcc_4.4.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb g/gcc [09:07] Oh geez [09:07] Flannel: message cut off [09:07] ruhoh [09:07] Thats longer than I thought itd be.

[09:08] anything else [09:08] right now i'm using it xchat [09:08] rsb_: depends on your needs. thers a dozwn of them [09:08] hi. i'm setting up the ufw defaults at /etc/default/ufw - do these defaults apply to all NICs attached to the machine? is it possible to apply them to just one NIC? This machine is acting as a router/firewall for my home network, so i want to block all incoming connections from the external NIC, but allow them from the internal NIC [09:08] irssi [09:08] I don't even bother to use xchat [09:08] rsb_ please check the category Internet / Chat in the Ubuntu software centre [09:09] lyrae: to make it easier to use, you could wget http://paste.ubuntu.com/437723/ too (and then chop off the html) [09:09] there's also the irc portion of pidgin, but I prefer irssi [09:09] in fact it is the first time i'm using irc [09:09] lyrae: Unfortunately, theres no way to download it in plaintext because the people who admin that site are idiots and require openID to do so. [09:09] lyrae: Oh, I could use another site too, if you're not able to easily copy/paste (retyping wouldn't be fun, obviously). Let me know. [09:10] which is your favorite [09:10] irc [09:10] Can someone help me find my microphone driver? [09:10] rsb_, xchat [09:10] rsb_: chatzilla in firefox is great for beginners, imo...

[09:11] by the way, in regard to my earlier problem, nvidia-settings has an "overscan" adjuster. I thought that had to do with scanlines. I was wrong. Dragging that around adjusts the display if you're connected to a TV [09:11] Surlent777: yeah it puts the image off the screen [09:11] sorry [09:11] Flannel, hold on. thats quite possibly the longest command anyones ever had to give. ever. [09:11] lyrae: hah [09:12] histo: no one in here or #kubuntu knew that before =( NOW THEY DO THOUGH [09:12] Flannel, i run that on laptop, right? where i have no internet and am trying to install gcc [09:12] anyway, night [09:12] lyrae: You run that on your server. Oooh, no internet. Crap. Sneakernetting the command would be a pain, but is doable.

[09:21] lyrae: Oh, the errors would be noticable, accompanied by stoppage of activity. They won't try and sneak one by [09:21] Flannel, ok it says errors wee encountered [09:21] Flannel, BUT, gcc seems to work. i type 'gcc' and it sauys 'no input files' [09:21] lyrae: Which packages have unmet dependencies (and does it say which packages it wants?) [09:21] hello am using version 9.04, now i have the cd of 10, how can i upgrade my os without any loss of data in my present system ? [09:22] Flannel, dont know. but its working [09:22] raviepic3, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [09:22] ok so wat can i do when i get something like that [09:22] CAn someone please help me find the correct drivers I need for my built-in microphone? [09:22] Flannel, thank you, lol. if i wasnt jobless id totally donate [09:22] lyrae: gcc was installed before we did any of this. It's installed by default [09:22] lyrae: What were the packages missing? [09:22] raviepic3: If you have external storage mediums, I'd suggest to backup important stuffs (/home/ and /etc/) for most cases, then do a clean installation. :3 [09:22] i only have ubuntu installed at my laptop, so it doesnt show grub when booting, how can i make grub appear whenever I need it upon boot? [09:22] raviepic3: You can upgrade over the internet, or you can download the 10.04 Alternate CD (not Desktop CD) and use that to upgrade [09:23] raviepic3: Do you have high-speed Internet? [09:23] Flannel, yeah i have the cd [09:23] raviepic3: Desktop CD is not same as Alternate CD. [09:24] help [09:24] Flannel, it just says "Errors were encountered while processing: dkpg-dev, gcc-4.4, build-essential, g++, gcc, g++-4.4" but i think those files were there, from when i copied from /var/cache/apt/archives/ [09:24] red2kic, Alternate cd ? [09:24] you mena the bootable disc ? [09:24] red2kic, ^ [09:24] lyrae: Oh, any usable errors before that? [09:24] raviepic3: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ [09:24] raviepic3: The bootable disc is the Desktop LiveCD. The Alternate CD just has software packages, you can't boot from it. [09:24] anyone knows where to get the Fire animation for CompizConfig setting manager? the drop down box on my system doesnt have the fire one... [09:25] Cynthia, then i have the bootable disc [09:25] Cynthia: Yes you can. You boot to an installer, not a live environment though [09:25] raviepic3: There are *many* way to install Ubuntu [09:25] can someone help plz [09:25] Flannel, nope [09:25] lyrae: How utterly annoying. [09:25] alfredo: check the package manager for other compiz plugins. it may not be included by default [09:25] lyrae: Oh, hold up a minute. [09:25] alfredo: please install the package compiz-config-gnome and find the icon in System / Preferences [09:25] some one can remember me how to go ubuntu-es? [09:25] hkm: /join #channelname [09:26] alfredo: whoops, for the manager... means you probably have it already [09:26] lyrae: Ah, I did miss some packages. Let me fix that. [09:26] ty [09:27] help i can't use my microphone ! [09:27] how do i know the appropriate mode lines to place in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

[09:28] xyz: install the Mono packages (mono) and something like SharpDevelop [09:29] Hi [09:29] plum: you just state your issue in here :} [09:29] guys, can someboddy help me to configura/install mousepen 8x6 on ubuntu 10.04? [09:29] !upgrade | raviepic3 [09:29] raviepic3: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [09:29] Is there anyone can tell me a good channel for Vala? [09:29] Man is my computer ever slow - I JUST installed ubuntu and it is running at a snail's pace [09:29] Flannel, okay [09:29] Trying to install video card driver... [09:29] moetunes: my built in microphone is not working in ubuntu [09:29] lyrae: http://paste.ubuntu.com/437731/ [09:30] anyone please, how do i know the appropriate mode lines to place in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

[09:30] i have gcc 4.3.3 on my system. i want documentation about the header files and inbuilt functions so that i can learn about them and write programs for linux [09:30] nmvictor: ages ago i used a 'x modeline generator web site' but ive not had to mess with modelines in 4+ years [09:31] arunkumar413 gcc.gnu.org for docs or 'man gcc' [09:31] :-S [09:31] Flannel, alright. its doing its thing [09:31] nmvictor: Resolution problems are rarely fixable by specifying modes in the grub.cfg, they are usually driver problems. [09:31] moetunes: are you there? [09:31] unpacking [09:31] nmvictor: s/grub.cfg/xorg.confg [09:31] -g :) [09:31] i downloaded it but it does not contian information about the header files and functions [09:31] hi! how do I connect a second PC to a modem connection??? [09:32] arunkumar413: download the header files and their doc packages [09:32] plum: I was afk - just ask the whole channel mate [09:32] moetunes: i have been asking, lol [09:33] plum: I don't use a microphone here sorry - I'm sure someone here does tho [09:33] ah ok [09:33] can anyone else help? [09:34] Flannel, same thing, but only 2 packages now [09:34] lyrae: Which two? [09:34] dpkg-dev, build-essential [09:34] lyrae: Also, we're getting closer. Ah, that's really only one package then (since b-e wont install with dpkg-dev) [09:34] plum: if you don't get a reply it is best to wait a bit then ask again - others might have joined that might know [09:35] Flannel: Did you use either of the options in !offline to generate your list? [09:36] alright well [09:36] i will try to fix again when i have had more sleep [09:36] Jordan_U: what was that, a suggestion? [09:36] see you guys later :) [09:36] Is there any choice in which choice of server type I have when setting the server settings on Thunderbird? [09:36] Flannel, ok :) also, the install instructions for the driver, says that if it cant build, to make sure i have linux-headers-generic [09:37] I have an issue and can't connect as it states it is IMAP, and doesn't allow me to choose POP3 [09:37] what is the command to install my video card's driver? [09:37] nmvictor: It was a suggestion, but I suspect that Flannel already knows about it :) === alphazero is now known as omegaone [09:37] Thomas_H: depends on the video card. jockey-gtk for the 'hardware drivers' tool is where i would start [09:38] 12061986 [09:38] raviepic3, It's the feeling of it .... like buying a new car of the latest model instead of replacing all the different components to make it the same :) [09:38] how do I jockey-gtk? [09:38] m.agupova [09:38] Thomas_H: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [09:38] Thomas_H: run command from termianl.. or use the menu li9ke Jordan_U said . [09:38] costre, well its time consuming [09:38] ? [09:39] lyrae: http://paste.ubuntu.com/437734/ [09:39] I get: GtkWarning: could not open display [09:39] Thomas_H: use the menu item.... [09:39] The thing though is that the graphics keep locking up [09:39] Jordan_U: That apturl wasn't updated last I checked it. [09:39] Thomas_H: and your video card is a ? [09:40] 8800 gts 640mb [09:40] !graphics > Cynthia [09:40] I got an 8800gtsxxx - works fine. :) [09:40] Flannel: It has an option for lucid if that's what you mean. [09:40] somebody tried to use samba3 and samba4 on the same server ? [09:40] Jordan_U: oh? That's new [09:40] I am running ubuntu and thunderbird [09:41] I want to see if downloading the driver will help [09:41] Thomas_H: you should be able to use that hardware drivers tool and install the proper drivers in just a few clicks., [09:41] hi , where is program icons ? i forgot it . [09:41] yeah but I can't click [09:41] The graphics keep locking up :| === Guest13742 is now known as hubi123 [09:42] Thomas_H: try 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' perhaps. [09:42] ops: suggestion for factoid: !graphics = "When you face a problem with your computer's graphics, please provide the brand and model of your graphics card or chipset (lspci) and !paste the contents of /var/log/Xorg.log" [09:42] hi , where is program icons ? i forgot it . [09:42] is it possible to reset ipfilter to its defaults, without all the ufw rules added? [09:43] amir_varasteh: are you looking for /usr/share/icons ? [09:43] amine, /usr/share/icons [09:43] Thomas_H: jockey-text [09:43] exit [09:43] http://xdccing.com/ [09:44] Flannel, i reboot the netbook and can't mound usb drive again. says sdc1 does not exist. how can i see whcih sdc1/sdd1/etc the usb stick is? [09:44] Cynthia: You can make suggestions with "/msg ubottu !graphics is When you face..." [09:44] Cynthia: no . i installed virtual box , and i can't find its icon [09:44] Cynthia : and it's not in usr/share/icons [09:44] Jordan_U: hm, didn't know that :o Thanks [09:44] somebody tried to use samba3 and samba4 on the same server ? [09:45] lyrae: sudo fdisk -l (thats a lowercase L) should give you some insight [09:45] Cynthia: You're welcome. [09:45] amir_varasteh: here the VirtualBoxOSE launcher's icon is /usr/share/icons/virtualbox.png [09:47] Cynthia: would u please send that icon for me ? [09:49] amir_varasteh: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/4828/virtualboxg.png [09:49] Cynthia ty [09:49] amir_varasteh: You're welcome [09:50] JoshuaL: Hold shift. [09:50] Jordan_U, thanks! [09:51] JoshuaL: You're welcome. [09:52] Flannel, perfect. no errors [09:53] just installed 10.04 on my laptop, all good but ubuntu one probs, no 'cloud' icon in taskbar as used to be in 9.10 and does not seem to want to sync to ubuntu one folder, or is it still real slow as some people have reported ? [09:53] kbmaniac: click on yoru name to get to ubuntu one [09:55] yep, got that, 'sync in progress...' benn like that for 15 mins for a small file. [09:55] do you guys just link to ~/ubuntu one now, used to be able to click on the could icon [09:56] lyrae: to install the headers, just cd to l/linux/ and dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.32-21_2.6.32-21.32_all.deb [09:56] lyrae: You can use tab complete too ;) [09:57] AWESOME [09:57] The gui is working perfectly now [09:57] thanks everyone :D [09:59] anybody tried to use samba3 and samba4 on the same server ? [09:59] Hello. When I press a Ctrl + Alt + F1 the console is displayed. The trouble is that is in the wrong place. The left side of the screen is a little black bar on and you can not see the right side. How can I fix this ? [10:00] Flannel, thanks sooooo much for your help! [10:00] cant tell you how glad i am [10:00] Juniksz: Monitor auto-adjustment [10:00] Cynthia: where can i find it, or how can i use? === 18VAAWR32 is now known as bleomycin [10:01] Juniksz: Is there an AUTO button of any sort on the bottom of your computer's monitor? [10:01] lyrae: My pleasure [10:01] =] [10:02] goddamn I thought that ubuntu was supposed to be easy [10:02] how do I change my monitor's resolution? [10:03] Thomas_H: System/Preferences/Monitors [10:03] Hi, My network manager icon has become a blank, how can I fix this? [10:03] (It was Preferences/Screen Resolution before Hardy) [10:03] Cynthia: no,i don't have.. Is it configure only by the monitor? [10:03] Complaining about how hard it is when theres an icon for the task? :) [10:03] Thomas_H: for nvidia cards you want to use the nvidia-settings tool most likely [10:03] Juniksz: I am not aware of any adjustment available for TTYs [10:04] Juniksz: there is the fbset command that can tweak the consoles IF they are using the framebuffer. [10:05] Juniksz: i had a similer issue on my iMAC DV ages ago. [10:05] furthermore, It's not usable anymore, I can't left-click on it to connect to a network [10:06] Hi [10:06] How's it going? [10:06] Dr_Willis: ok, i'll try it, thanks [10:07] anodesni, try killall -9 nm-applet; nm-applet [10:08] It says You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (justrun nvidia-xconfig as root) and restart the X server... I went into my terminal and typed sudo nvidia-xconfig and it says WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. New X configuration file written to /etc/Xll/xorg.conf... then I go to system>administration>hardware drivers> NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver is already selecte [10:08] anonymouse_, I'm new.. just trying to learn. that is the ultra kill this application, then run it again correct? [10:08] kroms, correct [10:08] anonymouse_, Nice :D I'm remembering things! [10:08] anonymouse_, thanks it works for now, [10:09] I'm looking for a script or anything, that deletes my duplicate songs from my hardrive, any idea ? [10:09] DjAngo23, use fslint-gui [10:09] DjAngo23, sudo aptitude install fslint [10:10] any one know how to get the system beep to work? I selected option in gnome-terminal and still nothing [10:10] anonymouse_: Thanks, it's seems like beeing exactly what i was looking for ;) [10:10] Does your other sound work badcloud ? [10:10] Wolfeyes: yes [10:11] Wolfeyes: as in audio in general? [10:11] General [10:11] The computers audio sound? [10:11] Wolfeyes: listening to shoutcast as we speak :) [10:11] Good. [10:11] !hi [10:11] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [10:11] DjAngo23: The exorcist plugin in Songbird is useful for that [10:12] badcloud, start "alsamixer -c0" in terminal [10:12] anodesni: k [10:12] badcloud, move to the right slider (beep) then press up arrow. Make sure the MM below changes in 00 [10:12] anodesni: I'm guessing I'm looking for 'PC Speaker' [10:12] anodesni: right? [10:13] badcloud, no, it should be "beep" [10:13] anodesni: ah, ok [10:13] Any help would be appreciated :\ [10:13] Theres also the pcskr module taht can be blacklisted badcloud - that can disable the pc built in mb speaker [10:13] Thomas_H, what is your problem [10:13] badcloud, if it shows "MM" below, press M to change it to 00, then press up to up the volume [10:13] anodesni: none :( [10:14] moki80: Songbird, i'm going to try that then. [10:14] badcloud, really? then try pcspeaker I guess [10:14] I'm trying to change my desktop resolution [10:14] monitor's resolution [10:14] Dr_Willis: I don't have a '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist' file [10:14] Thomas_H, System>Preferences>Monitors [10:14] badcloud: install the beep command, test it 'beep' try loading the module -> 'sudo modprobe pcspkr' then try beep again, [10:15] badcloud: my system wont beep untill i load the module. [10:15] badcloud, you should also make sure that the volume is up in sound settings [10:15] Yeah... I went there and it says It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? [10:15] Can anyone help me with the email client Thunderbird? [10:15] Thomas_H, say yes [10:15] Thomas_H: yes. fir nvidia cards you WANT to use the 'nvidia-settings' tool. I mentioned that earlier. :) [10:15] I am trying to receive voice and video tutorials on live streaming, but firefox doesn't open it, I only see it connect and then the screen goes black. Anyone got any idea's? [10:16] Dr_Willis: 'beep' does nothing as far as I can see (or hear) [10:16] speiros: what's the problem? [10:16] Thomas_H: it has many more options. [10:16] Hi, recomment me an .mp3 player for linux which can recomment new music for me based on my playlist. [10:16] badcloud: now load the module and try beep again. [10:16] yeah... but there is nothing in here about resolution [10:16] Thomas_H, under X Server Display Configuration, you can change the resolution of your monitor [10:16] Thomas_H: it has settings for res in there somewhere., look harder. [10:16] hi guys [10:16] I have a question [10:16] !hi|coderman [10:16] coderman: 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! [10:16] There are only 5 things [10:16] Dr_Willis: did that, nothing :( [10:17] I need to move my ubuntu installation to another disk === fahadysf is now known as iDOpe === iDOpe is now known as iDope [10:17] mnemon: I have an issue with one of my emails, as I have access through cPanel, and it seems to have updated it. The Thunderbird client isn't allowing me to choose pop3, and now my password is different. It is one thing after another, and I am going around in circles. [10:17] badcloud: im out of ideas then. [10:17] can I just tar to a backup archive and extract at the other disk? [10:17] and then boot from there? [10:17] Dr_Willis: thanks anyway :) [10:17] Code: yes [10:17] coderman, you need to preserve the permissions [10:17] coderman: the fstab, and a few other things may need tweaking however. [10:18] fstab works out of the box, for me :P [10:18] what other things? [10:18] Dr_Willis: got it, it was the mute in alsamixer [10:18] Previously, I had access to my account, but it seems to have limited what I can do, or something. [10:18] http://imgur.com/fir7V.png <--- Nvidia settings (no resolution option) [10:18] thanks, anodesni, Dr_Willis! [10:18] Hard to explain, sorry. I'll try to. [10:18] speiros: your account is imap now? [10:18] *uses imap [10:19] badcloud, if you want to store the settings of alsamixer you want to run: "sudo alsactl store" [10:19] mnemon: Let me check. I think it is, yes. Let me confirm though. [10:19] anodesni: thanks [10:19] Thomas_H, System>Preferences>Monitors and try saying no [10:19] seems neither gnome-terminal nor screen 'ctl a ctl g' activates beep [10:19] 'beep' works [10:19] but that's it [10:20] mnemon: Yes, it is. [10:20] badcloud: there WAS some x bug. where ctrl-g beeping was disabled.. [10:20] I don't mind if it is, although I prefer to have the files kept on the server as well as my desktop. [10:20] badcloud: see if it works in the console. [10:20] anonymouse_: there is an option in there for changing the resolution but it only allows 800x600 [10:20] Dr_Willis: which console? [10:20] Dr_Willis: a fresh gnome-term session? [10:20] badcloud, did you up the volume in sound settings? [10:21] anodesni: yeah. as I said, 'beep' sounds out loud and clear [10:21] badcloud: no.. the CONSOLE.. :) not a terminal window.. alt-ctrl-f1 [10:21] badcloud, I mean pulseaudio sound settings [10:21] Dr_Willis: ah, yes *blush* [10:21] speiros: so what's the problem exactly? if it doesn't work with the new password? [10:21] anodesni: how do I access that? [10:21] badcloud, system -> preferences -> sound [10:22] Dr_Willis: works in console [10:22] badcloud, warning volume is down (standard, for me) [10:22] mnemon: I changed the password on the cPanel itself. It should work. Then it tells me that it can't use secure authentication. So I take it off and it tells me something else too. [10:22] Thomas_H, what version of nvidia-driver are you using, [10:22] It seems to be a triangle of problems, and I'm doing something wrong. [10:22] anodesni: turned it to max, nothing [10:23] anodesni: I have alert sound scheme to 'no sounds' [10:23] badcloud, that might be a problem too [10:23] badcloud, you should here a strange "bump" sound (the beep) if you set it to ubuntu [10:24] anodesni: got it [10:24] mnemon: the other thing it does is tell me that the account settings are imap.myemaildetails, whereas it is meant to be admin+mydetails [10:24] back [10:24] anodesni: thanks [10:24] I've tried editing these back and forth [10:25] badcloud, does it work now? [10:25] anonymouse_: Current version? [10:25] anodesni: yup :))) [10:25] nice [10:25] I really hate that sound though [10:26] anodesni: I'm sure it gets annoying, I just need a sound everytime someone mentions my name in irssi [10:27] ok [10:27] badcloud: with weechat - i get a Notifycition window. :) [10:27] speiros: can you give me the errors it gives? paste them in pm or some pastebin [10:27] my Xchat icon is glowing then [10:27] Sure, let me go through the sequence at the present time, and I'll give you that one. [10:28] Dr_Willis: trying it now :) [10:28] Dr_Willis: is it a cli client? [10:28] badcloud: yes [10:28] Dr_Willis: weeeeee [10:28] badcloud: and i perfer it 1000x over irssi [10:28] Thomas_H, try moving your xorg.conf to a different location, then do sudo nvidia-xconfig [10:29] Thomas_H, I cannot guarantee that this won't fuck it up even more [10:29] Dr_Willis: reading up on setting up now [10:29] mnemon: First of all, we are back with the password errors. I need to change this on the server info, which I will change to the same one. [10:30] http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/f80bf0326e.png [10:30] and http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/cfc81c6be6.png [10:30] speiros: don't make any changes for now, just give me the error messages, easier to find out what's happening that way :) [10:30] where is xorg.conf ? [10:30] Thomas_H: /etc/X11 [10:31] Yeah, but it isn't going to allow me to access the account. [10:31] i just added cinelerra repo in synaptic and that's happened [10:31] Thomas_H, "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" [10:31] mnemon: It is only asking me for a password at present. [10:31] Thomas_H, I mean "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" [10:32] weird shit... I think that my video card might be fried [10:32] when I restarted my computer there were artifacts everywhere [10:32] and now the screen is black? [10:32] Shit... [10:32] Thomas_H, what did you do [10:32] mnemon: Login to server mail.myemailname failed [10:32] I restarted the computer [10:33] then you're either using a wrong username or password [10:33] The post screen is all messed up too - so it isn't ubuntu [10:33] mnemon: I will try four passwords, although I know which password it is. The name is correct too. It is trying to put me on somehting else though. [10:34] mnemon: If I go to the server settings, it tells me the server info. I'll give you that. [10:34] <[Screamo]> Anyone here ever used fluxbox? [10:34] Dr_Willis: Any suggestion for beginners on WeeChat? :o [10:35] fluxbox ftw! [10:35] red2kic: You did go to the weechat homepage and read their very good docs? :) [10:35] <[Screamo]> moetunes, can you give me some info on it? [10:35] mnemon: Server type IMAP (I am unable to choose which server type it is) [10:35] [Screamo]: sure [10:35] Dr_Willis: I recently found out why my laptop won't start. I'm installing packages as we go (no ubuntu-desktop, thx). [10:36] [Screamo]: there's #fluxbox too [10:36] mnemon: Server name mail.myemail.mydomain [10:36] mnemon: Port 143 [10:36] <[Screamo]> how easy is it to install/uninstall? [10:36] red2kic: its very silimer to irssi, /server /connect /join and so on :) [10:37] mnemon: Connection security STARTTLS [10:37] Dr_Willis: thanks so much for the recommendation! [10:37] gonna reconnect using weechat now [10:37] mnemon No server authentication [10:37] [Screamo]: as easy as sudo apt-get install fluxbox [10:39] Dr_Willis: I accidentally my main system. So I'm setting stuffs up again. :( http://imagebin.ca/img/WEgcEZAT.png [10:40] <[Screamo]> moetunes, when it done i just logout and select it from the session or w/e? [10:40] Hii all [10:40] !hi [10:40] 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! [10:40] [Screamo]: Yup. I think so. :3 [10:40] gdm mode: fading out after keeping the system idle for some time === rshakin_ is now known as rshakin [10:40] [Screamo]: yep - I would install feh or eterm or similar to help set the background [10:40] how to recover from it ? [10:41] <[Screamo]> moetunes, what are those [10:41] i could not see the display === OerHeks is now known as Oer [10:41] <[Screamo]> red2kic, that looks.. horrid D: [10:42] gdm mode: fading out after keeping the system idle for some time [10:42] [Screamo]: Brains over looks. :) [10:42] <[Screamo]> naveen519, uhm, move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboardd? [10:42] ?? [10:42] [Screamo]: they are apps with libs that fluxbox can use to set the background [10:42] yeah ..i made all trails [10:42] <[Screamo]> moetunes, well wich one should i install lol [10:42] [Screamo]: Functions* over looks. [10:42] and restarted gdm finally [10:42] [Screamo]: I use eterm as it is a terminal emulator that has transparency [10:43] and even console is also not working then, i used another system to restart gdm [10:44] <[Screamo]> naveen519, maybe change settings so it doesnt fade out [10:44] Dr_Willis: wow, love the color scheme [10:44] <[Screamo]> well im gonna go try fluxbox now :D [10:45] whats the problem with the default settings ? though i have changed my monitor [10:45] and may i know how to change the setting so as to make it not fading out ? [10:46] i mean to say, it is giving this problem after i have changed my monitor [10:46] could that might be the problem ? [10:47] naveen519: have you made a xorg.conf? [10:47] moetunes: nope, do i need to do that ? [10:48] naveen519: nope - if you had you woould have to change the monitor in it [10:49] <[Screamo]> :O [10:49] <[Screamo]> fluxbox reminds me of rockbox for ipod [10:49] <[Screamo]> :O [10:49] D: [10:49] hey. i want to make my own webhosting server at home with ubuntu server and to have a dns server. i have a domain.ro. i heard it is possible only if i have two ip addresses for dns server....is this true ? [10:49] [Screamo]: http://fluxbox-wiki.org - for lots of howtos [10:49] <[Screamo]> but hoe the hell do i change resolution D: [10:50] [Screamo]: use xrandr in terminal or make an xorg.conf [10:51] test [10:51] naveen519: not if you haven't made a xorg.conf 'cause X does it automatically from boot now [10:51] d000L_|000D: test fail [10:51] <[Screamo]> moetunes, xrandr in term just listen stuff [10:51] d000L_|000D: fail [10:51] <[Screamo]> *listed [10:51] !test [10:51] hrm? [10:52] [Screamo]: xrandr -s 1024x768 for example [10:52] how to config xorg.conf ? [10:52] znupii: one ip-adress for dns but why youb need your own dns-server? === daddoo is now known as Guest7697 [10:53] <[Screamo]> ah this is more like it [10:53] naveen519: you need to ctrl+alt=f2 login then kill X and do Xorg -configure - it will make a file in your home dir that you edit and move to /etc/X11 [10:54] <[Screamo]> 1024x 768 to 1280x1024 :/ [10:54] *ctrl+alt+f2 [10:54] [Screamo]: does xrandr list 1280x1024 ? [10:54] <[Screamo]> moetunes, yes, and i switched to it [10:54] k [10:56] #openoffice.org [10:56] Oops [10:56] <[Screamo]> moetunes, what other window manager are there that are easy to install, dont want kde or xfce [10:56] iceroot, i need to set up a dns server just for practice. i want to make ns1.mydomain.ro and ns2.mydomain.ro [10:57] iceroot, or is possible to use another dns sever ? [10:57] [Screamo]: some like openbox and there's lxde , e17 , windowmaker... [10:57] znupii: its always possible to use another dns server [10:57] I like wmii [10:57] Omg, I can't take it anymore with Ubuntu 10.04. It seems it's time to install Slackware... Guess what? I have already fixed auto-mount issues, booting issues, networking issues.. Now... It seems sound won't work anymore after restarting machine: "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory". The most unstable version of Ubuntu I have ever seen. ;-( [10:58] <[Screamo]> i cant even uuse firefox in 10.04, after about 5 mins of browsing it would log me out [10:58] Just restart your machine and... reinstall Ubuntu. [10:58] lol? [10:58] <[Screamo]> been using chromium and no problem anymore [10:58] prince-arif: How did you fix the auto-mount issues? Jc. [10:58] prince-arif: odd.. ive had basically no issues other then plymouth being quirky [10:58] prince-arif: it is a lts - there's always a large jump 'cause it is to last for three years [10:58] red2kic_wee: disabled floppy, blacklisted and deleted from /etc/fstab [10:59] prince-arif: Wow. Floppy disk. I'd rip mine out of the machine if I have one. [10:59] * Dr_Willis did see a bug report about floppy's goofing up the automounting. [10:59] iceroot, thanks for information ;) [10:59] moetunes, that means it's still in "super-super-alpha stage"? :-) === omegaone is now known as alphazero [11:00] red2kic_wee: you also need to disable the controller in the bios [11:00] red2kic_wee: in some cases. :) [11:00] BRB. Reboot for new kernel modules. :) [11:00] prince-arif: it still needs some ironing out is how I'd put it :] [11:00] How easy would it be to get dual monitors working with Nvidia ? [11:00] anyone have any good instructions for upgrading 9.10 to 10.04, remotely? [11:00] !twinview [11:00] twinview is a feature provided by nvidia cards, which can be configured with nvidia-settings [11:00] Emery: takes me all of.. 30 seconds to get my dual monitors working.. [11:01] I think Canonical has hired some... Chinese. [11:01] Emery: and 1 reboot... [11:01] <[Screamo]> moetunes, i want terminal to look like this http://fluxbox.org/screenshots/screenshots_full/screenshot_zan.png [11:01] <[Screamo]> D: [11:01] lol, considering that the most comfortable windows system is XP, I'd say that ubuntu is doing pretty good.lol [11:01] *** Torque (~Torque@stuts08.coventry.ac.uk) has joined #ubuntu@Undernet [11:01] [Dr_Willis] with nvidia? obviously it has the nvidia-settings tool ect. [11:01] <[Screamo]> Torque, thats nice to kow [11:01] Dr_Willis, why reboot to get twinview working ? [11:01] Emery: install nvidia drivers.. reboot , run the nvidia-settings tool enable twinview and tweak.. restart the X server to apply the changes properly [11:01] <[Screamo]> *know [11:01] It wouldn't be a surprise to see on the case of Ubuntu CD: "Made in China". [11:01] airtonix: for the initial drivers. :) [11:01] Dr_Willis, oh right [11:01] [Dr_Willis] nice one :) [11:01] *** Error@Torque: Closing Link: stuts08.coventry.ac.uk (Excess Flood) [11:02] airtonix: and you need to restart the X server competely. or else some apps get confused once you enable twinview [11:02] [Screamo]: that's a transparent terminal - you can do that with eterm [11:02] Dr_Willis, which ones? i turn on twinview on the fly no problems (i even switch monitors) [11:02] [Screamo]: my flux desktop - http://imagebin.org/97899 [11:02] <[Screamo]> what about the window border being on the side tho [11:03] *** sutem (~uc@pD9E0EBC9.dip.t-dialin.net) has quit Undernet (Read error: Operation timed out) [11:03] airtonix: gnome panel for starters would get confused and try to go across both monitors. [11:03] airtonix: it may be fixed by now.. but it used to be an issue [11:03] airtonix: other apps would also try to do the same [11:03] Dr_Willis, have you tried changing the gconf value for which monitor it sits on ? [11:03] <[Screamo]> moetunes have you ever heard of rainmeter? [11:03] airtonix: i always have a panel on each monitor. [11:04] *** Error@Torque: Closing Link: stuts08.coventry.ac.uk (Excess Flood) [11:04] Torque: Please don't do that. [11:04] <[Screamo]> ^i 2nd that [11:04] airtonix: on a new install, first thing i do is install nvidia, enable twinview, tweak the primary monitor. when i did apply. the panels would go across both monitors. if i restarted X. they figured it out. :) [11:04] [Screamo]: yep - it is part of a windows shell based on blackbox iirc [11:04] airtonix: not really tried it in 10.04 this has been a upgraded to 10.04 box. [11:04] hello. i want to open .maff files from nautilus using firefox - but nautilus recognises them as zip archives only. that might be all well and good for nautilus and technically true, however it's not very useful to me. [11:05] anyone knows a good channel about DMCA and crap like that? [11:05] [Screamo]: litestep [11:05] Dr_Willis, you dont need to restart to get the panels on the correct monitor. [11:05] airtonix: ive had to in the earlier releases. [11:05] <[Screamo]> moetunes shell? what im thinking of is just an app [11:05] *** Error@Torque: Closing Link: stuts08.coventry.ac.uk (Excess Flood) [11:05] Just incrediblee... Used this computer for almost 3 hours and now I have to reinstall the operating system! [11:05] Dr_Willis, i sposes you didnt try changing the gconf value ? its what i've done ever since intrepid [11:06] [Screamo]: the app comes with the replacement shell - at least it did here [11:06] airtonix: easier to restart the X server. [11:06] hi.. [11:06] airtonix: since this is the first thing i normally do on a clean install. :) [11:06] i need help with kde and gnome.. [11:06] somebody to help me !?!?!? [11:06] Dr_Willis, put this in your nautilus-scripts folder http://paste.ubuntu.com/437770/ [11:07] <[Screamo]> moetunes, well you can just install it as a standalone app, it+photoshop+itunes are the things that are going to force me back to windows as soon as i have mony D: [11:07] Dr_Willis, i use that to quickly switch the only panel i have between my laptop screen and the attached monitor [11:07] airtonix: someone was in here last week asking how to force the panel across both monoitors when using twinview. [11:07] I rarely need to move the panels. :) Desktop box. Not laptop here. [11:08] [Screamo]: to each his own - there are good replacement linux apps for those [11:08] naveen519: keep it in the channel pls :] [11:09] <[Screamo]> photoshop and rainmeter hold a special place in my heart, it would bee like switching perfect kids for not so perfect kids D: [11:09] kill X is not working [11:09] [Screamo], logicfail [11:09] :| [11:09] !ot | [Screamo] [11:09] [Screamo]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:10] red2kic, no its a poor approxmiation of conky [11:11] airtonix: Ah. Conky wannabe.

[11:12] if i have raided disks, do i still need to dist upgrade the machine using the iso of alternate? [11:12] devil875: install lubuntu [11:12] <[Screamo]> ROFL [11:12] devil875: see #lubuntu channel [11:12] devil875, lubuntu [11:13] * Dr_Willis dosent like lubuntu much [11:13] [Screamo], laugh all you want, but last time i tried to use rainmeter to do what conky can it failed miserably. [11:13] [Screamo]: http://tinyurl.com/a99omu [11:13] i'm not sure because it's not an official ubuntu [11:13] <[Screamo]> red2kic, thats all eww like and stuff [11:13] will i have the original ubuntu sources and base system? [11:13] devil875: not sure about what? [11:14] [Screamo]: You only like Rainmeter because it is... easy to set up? ;o [11:14] if i should install it [11:14] devil875: lubuntu was going to be official for this release.. but i guess they had issues.. its supposed to be an official variant fot 10.10 i hear [11:14] devil875: flip a coin then... [11:14] I have 5 HDD's in my computer. One is the main boot drive with all the system stuff. The other 4 are blank. I want to setup a JBOD partition on them. Where do I begin? [11:14] i was thinking about installing ubuntu without X and then just install lxde [11:14] <[Screamo]> red2kic, hardly, it took me like a week to get it to my liking [11:14] devil875: if you want lxde thats the easiest way [11:14] devil875: That can work. [11:14] <[Screamo]> then my damn hdd fried on me D': [11:14] devil875: or install lubuntu-desktop package. [11:15] sabat: did you already install? [11:15] that was my idea [11:15] Dr_Willis: That's not a essential lxde packages. :O [11:15] <[Screamo]> whats lubuntu? [11:15] i just wanted to know if the whole xserver will be installed and the stuff like cpufreq etc [11:15] [Screamo]: ubuntu + lxde desktop [11:15] dlp211 yes, mint is installed on /dev/sda sdb,c,d,e are going to be the raid [11:15] <[Screamo]> whats lxde lol [11:15] [Screamo]: to be an offical supported variant for 10.10 [11:15] [Screamo]: Another !DE, like OpenBox or fluxbox. [11:15] [Screamo]: time to hit google.? :) [11:15] i like fast and energy saving systems :) [11:16] sabat: do you want a raid or a jbod? [11:16] [Screamo], last time i checked you couldnt programme your own plugins to rainmeter with lua that used the cairo lib. [11:16] Hello! Please I need help: here is the description: http://paste.ubuntu.com/437774/ thanks :) [11:16] so what exactly is the correct compositing? Docky is always complaining, some stuff doesn't load [11:16] JBOD, I store movies/music/photos. I just want a large partition [11:16] devil875: its all relative. theres some benchamrks about the different desktops - if you have a decent box. You dont gain a lot by using liubuntu. [11:16] <[Screamo]> airtonix, when was the last time you checked? [11:16] [Screamo], if you wanted a plugin that did anything useful you needed to programme it in c and then compile it. [11:16] CCwss: Compiz? I'm not certain. [11:16] If I ever love some or the whole partition, I could care less, I just want a large volume. [11:16] [Screamo], not long ago. i doubt its changed. [11:17] C-Ray: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. [11:17] * [Screamo] wonders if were all talking about th same thing [11:17] If I ever lose* [11:17] red2kic: Docky certainly wants Compiz [11:17] sabat: With LVM, you could treat everything as one gigantic partition. [11:17] <[Screamo]> http://rainmeter.net/RainCMS/ [11:17] Well I am having a problem installing Virtualbox 3.2 under my ubuntu 9.10 [11:17] C-Ray: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.0/virtualbox-3.2_3.2.0-61806~Ubuntu~karmic_i386.deb [11:17] is LVM the name of the app? [11:17] red2kic, just open gconf-editor and navigate to : /apps/metacity/general then tick compositing manager [11:17] docky needs a compositing window manager. You can enable that feature in metacity - i recall. [11:18] :) [11:18] [Screamo], i know exactly what rainmeter is [11:18] airtonix: i think you meant me, thanks [11:18] well here is the problem when I am installing the debian package, I am not able to launch the virtualbox and it is reporting that it is not installed [11:18] ok thanks [11:18] [Screamo], http://milax.org/img/conky172.png << those rings in bottom right corner are not images. [11:18] can the default atheros wlan drivers in ubuntu be set in monitor mode? [11:18] C-Ray: did the deb install successfully? How did you install it? What output did you get? [11:19] though in the synaptic manager, it is saying that it is installed [11:19] C-Ray: i downloaded the .deb and installed it earlier today. The binary name is 'VirtualBox' i belve from the command line. [11:19] My bios supports raids, I enabled it on the 4 sata drives I was setting it up on. Linux still shows 4 drives, so I just need to join and create the partition [11:19] C-Ray: not 'virtualbox' like the OSE version uses [11:19] yeah the output was successfully installed [11:19] <[Screamo]> http://varelse42.deviantart.com/art/Monochromatic-Redux-148392430 [11:19] C-Ray: so from the termianl try 'Virt' [11:19] <[Screamo]> http://livinglightningrod.deviantart.com/art/P-I-L-E-U-S-Suite-148290753 [11:19] <[Screamo]> both of those pwn [11:20] C-Ray: please address the people you are answering, otherwise it gets confusing. Also, answering 1 out of 3 questions isn't that helpful [11:20] just need to know what app to start looking into to set this up [11:20] [Screamo], rainmeter just doesnt have the scripting power that conky has available to it by virtue of being a linux app [11:20] Dr_Willis : I will try that [11:20] Hello, is there anyone here that has any experience with ladspa and wills to help me for a minute? I'm particularly trying to get the bs2b plugin working, however, sound will not play through the device I've set up for ladspa and mpd's log tells me it can't find or load 'bs2b' in /usr/local/lib/ladspa, but I am sure the plugin is present there. [11:20] C-Ray: you can add a virtualbox ppa and then install normally with synaptics [11:21] [Screamo], if i wanted something like that screenshot i wouldnt use rainmeter... you'd be better off using litestep. [11:21] C-Ray: and the icon for the OSE version is in a different place then for the Version from the Homepage for VBOX [11:21] is it only the alternate CD that has raid?

I had to press scrolllock/numlock to enable it, then... well, that was a bit awkward but I got it.

[11:37] guntbert : here is the list, I hope that what you were asking for [11:37] hi [11:37] you mean like fedora raddy ? [11:38] i've got problems copying large files to a external HDD [11:38] can i merge my partition with the existing os partition ? [11:39] computer hang when i copy files +20 MB using cp command [11:39] Doesnt ubuntu 10.04 support delta updates?

[11:41] [Screamo]: no polls in this channel [11:41] C-Ray: comparing ... it looks as if you are still using the old key for the virtualbox repo, they have a new one since 3.2 (oracle!) [11:41] I haven't this problem on fedora [11:41] <[Screamo]> oCean_ its not a poll, i want to know the best one so i can use it :/ [11:41] guntbert : oh thanks I didn't know that :) [11:41] !best | [Screamo] [11:41] [Screamo]: 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. [11:42] guntbert : I should get the new one from the website right? [11:42] C-Ray: yes, after adding the new key you will have to refresh your software database, and then isntalling 3.2 should run smoothly [11:43] guntbert : Thanks sir for that! :) I will try that and I will inform you back! Thanks also for your time up there. [11:43] C-Ray: you're welcome :-) [11:46] arrrrrhhhhhhhh\ [11:47] how can i use my dvd rom [11:47] hi, after the upgrade to the new ubuntu my acer 5100 suffer again on this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1218699&highlight=aspire+5100+freezes [11:47] what can i do ' [11:47] or put it on my desktop === james is now known as Guest68613 [11:48] /nick red2kic_wee === chris1 is now known as red2kic_wee [11:48] Dr_Willis: I'll upload an example. [11:49] If I have my panel auto-hidden, it stays visible after using a hot corner to trigger the compiz scale plugin. Does this sound like a gnome bug or a compiz bug? [11:49] Dr_Willis: Hmm. Wrong client. I'll show you a photo. Just need you to hilight me. :) [11:49] hi??? [11:50] Varth: I don't know if that's a bug or just an incorrect configuration that does not execute the way you would like it to be? [11:51] Any known issues with ntfs/fuse in lucid? Sometime in the last few days both my ntfs partitions seem to have lost all their files. (not hardware, 2 different drives.) [11:51] red2kic_xchat: The panel isn't registering that the mouse has moved away from the autohide trigger area. === iLLuminaughty is now known as sweet_lil_lissa [11:52] Varth: There also are #compiz -- Any chances there are configurations that overlays each other? Usually you get a warning dialog about that. Also, there are #compiz [11:53] Varth: Meh. Why did I repeat myself twice? The panel have autohide feature. Why aren't you using that? [11:55] red2kic_xchat: That's what I am using the problem that I am having is that when I move my mouse to the hot corner to trigger the compiz scale plugin, it also shows the hidden panel, which then fails to rehide itself once the plugin exits with the mouse no longer in the trigger area. To make it hide again, I have to mouse over the panel and then move away. [11:55] hi is here anyone who is responsible for python httplib or gwibber? i have a critical bugreport and i am too lazy to create a launchpad account [11:56] an error in httplib2 (http://code.google.com/p/httplib2/issues/detail?id=62) is responsible for the issue, that gwibber wont start here at my computer... [11:56] Varth, its not a bug of gnome-panel its to do with the way compiz works. [11:58] airtonix, Varth: I wonder if gconftool-editor have a time delay for autohide. Reduce the time may help. [11:58] I installed ubuntu quite a while ago and it setup the swap to be 5.5GB (2gig ram) if i resize it will it fuck up the system ? ) === maciek_ is now known as Guest63793 [11:59] Hey guys [11:59] About Empathy IM [11:59] You aren't at all related to them, are you?

[12:01] chaddledee: Not essential, but environment. I think Ubuntu just decide to upstream with Gnome's choices. I don't know. :P [12:01] Does that mean it's made by the people who make gnome?

[13:01] ikonia, to solved my problem [13:02] bullgard: if you want a web interface instead of using aptitude in your shell, you can use http://packages.ubuntu.com (it links to the changelog on changelogs.ubuntu.com) [13:02] aeon-ltd: Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode) [13:03] OperaFan: ok --> find folder_with_m4/ -name '*.mp4' -printf "%p\t%AY-%Am-%AdT%AXZ%AZ\n" | while IFS=$'\t' read -r file date; do AtomicParsley "$file" --year "$date"; done [13:03] OperaFan: not sure about the date format. maybe you have to tweak it. "man find" --> printf [13:04] ikonia, ok [13:04] OperaFan: what do you mean by "filesystem date" out of curiousity [13:04] natrixnatrix89: is is undetected or not working? [13:04] Xorg shouldn't be using 20-30% CPU, right? [13:05] Glowball: no not under normal conditions [13:05] Well, it's not the first time I catch it doing that [13:05] aeon-ltd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/437815/ [13:06] jrib: I could not have asked what you call my "real question" because I did not know the proper term 'changelog'. -- So I know now 2 more convenient tools to read the changelog. -- Thank you very much for your help. [13:06] Dr_Willis: i get bettr performance wiith the radeon :\ [13:07] aeon-ltd: oh. and i dont know what that broadcom in lsusb is too. Because when i unplug the usb dongle that broadcom disappears from lsusb too [13:07] bullgard: you could just ask "How can I see the latest revisions" instead of "What is the file that ...". It's not a big deal, you would have just gotten your information faster :) No problem, glad to help [13:07] I lost my sound effects. I think it's because I activated my nvidia drivers (which sound dum because graphics drivers have nothing to do with sound). [13:09] natrixnatrix89, is it just a bluetooth dongle ? [13:09] erUSUL Many thanks Just trying it out now. Much more elegant than what I managed to hack. [13:09] I should try and deactivate then I'll have solid proof. [13:09] airtonix: yes. you just plug in usb. classical [13:10] natrixnatrix89: are you using bluez? [13:10] natrixnatrix89, you might find those extra devices are other aspects of the bluetooth device... it probably has alot of features [13:10] aeon-ltd: yes. Is there anything else for bluetooth except bluez? [13:10] Can someone point me to learn how to get WEP and WPA access codes on ubuntu. [13:11] i have a sound problem with amarok. how can i fix it? [13:11] You can't play mp3 [13:11] yep [13:11] You need decoders [13:11] ciao [13:11] natrixnatrix89: have you just updated now and not restarted?, you could try restarted the daemon and reset the dongle [13:11] karim_: do you mean how to crack wep? [13:11] how can i get it? [13:12] I'm using exaile and it's works much better then amorok [13:12] aeon-ltd: i've done that a lot of times. And I also tried hcitool scan on a lucid live cd. and still had that problem [13:12] karim_, this is not a place to learn how to gain illegitimate access to other peopels computers [13:13] But ubuntu was designed for this kind of stuff besides it for educational purposes. === alanhaggai is now known as Guest6379 [13:13] arguing is unlikely to be productive [13:14] natrixnatrix89: if it worked perfectly in 9.10 and not in 10.04 then they must have disabled something as default or removed parts of the kernel, i'm going to check the changelog or 10.04 and see what they removed [13:14] hi guys! do you know what font they use for the date? http://londonali1010.deviantart.com/art/Conky-Widgets-Butterfly-142021849?q=boost%3Apopular+conky&qo=140 [13:14] karim_, what makes you think ubuntu was designed for that kind of stuff? [13:14] karim_, please move on [13:14] annwn get exaile and get the ugly-mp3 decoder it works really good. [13:15] Forget I even asked! [13:15] Is there any Ubuntu FULL , something like 4GB like openSuse ? [13:15] karim_: is this for a good purpose? [13:15] alket, there is a DVD but nothing like Suse with all DE's installed at once [13:16] I'm having problem with the sound effects not working properly that's more important. [13:17] alket: just use minimal and command line, install what you want by hand [13:17] the alternate might be a better choice in this case [13:18] And why were the drivers for ubuntu not already in the disk. It's not like everybody get different drivers. [13:18] karim_, which drivers? [13:18] karim_, the proprietary nvidia and ati ones? [13:18] Yes [13:19] EEEPC 1005HA kernel cannot activate WIRED NETWORK [13:19] karim_, for reasons of legal restrictions, as well as size I would imagine [13:19] raven, what chipset [13:19] bazhang, how to find out? [13:20] Well can I get them from somewhere and put them on a disk and install at my own pace. [13:20] hello. I want to add a keyboard layout switcher gnome applet. I just could not find it. i want to type arabic fonts. what is its corresponding package ? [13:20] raven, open a terminal and type lspci then paste.ubuntu.com with the output ; Do Not paste in this channel [13:20] karim_, then remaster a livecd [13:20] !remaster | karim_ [13:20] karim_: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD?

[13:20] I am using the Ubuntu 10.4 LTS [13:20] bazhang, there is nothing in lspci - only with an older kernel it is activated and appears in lspci and ifconfig [13:20] I want just the drivers. [13:21] raven, zero output from lspci? [13:21] alket: wait your friend has abolutely no access to the internet? [13:21] bazhang, oh sry i thought you want to know the network line [13:21] alket, aptoncd perhaps? [13:21] alket: how do they plan to update? [13:22] !aptoncd | alket [13:22] alket: 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 [13:22] aeon-ltd: I see people who have WinXP for years and they never made updates [13:22] bazhang, thank you [13:22] I have problem when I play any video : the 20% of top of the windows became confused [13:23] i found it [13:23] thanks [13:23] Is there any way to get pppd to autodetect modem device?

[13:26] raven, this is 10.04, correct? or something earlier [13:26] bazhang, no it is 10.04 [13:26] bazhang, kernel 2.6.32-22-generic [13:26] raven, is that using the attansic chipset by chance? I thought it was in the kernel by now [13:27] bazhang, dont know... [13:27] raven, and which kernel prior works with/shows the eth0 [13:27] bazhang, 2.6.31-21-generic for example [13:28] bazhang, and 2.6.31-10-rt works [13:28] hi ! [13:28] some body can help me ?...

[13:31] raven, that is exceedingly odd, sounds like a clear bug related to either installing the rt kernel alongside the generic one, or a regression in the latest generic kernel.

[14:24] hello, i'd like to install ubuntu on one partition, and the home directory in another partition so that I can easily upgrade, reinstall etc, ... To do so I should choose the custom partitioning during the installation correct? Is there a tutorial on how to do this the best way? Do you need to set 1) a partition for the file system 2) a partition for the home directory 3) a partition for the swap ? [14:26] gafir: yes, do all those 3 [14:26] gafir, yep, and /boot if you wish [14:26] mnemon: what ext should I choose 3 or 4? should they be primary or extended? etc? [14:27] hello [14:27] how do I remove old entries from grub? [14:27] it opens a lot of issues to customize the install partition [14:27] gafir: thats the basics of it. [14:27] cousin_mario: remove the kernels you dont need - is one way. [14:27] Dr_Willis: kernels are no longer there [14:27] it's old crud [14:27] well bazhang i am sitting here and watching with open mouth - it works!! [14:27] cousin_mario: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ [14:27] gafir: that's your choice really, unless you need other partitions just use primary [14:28] cousin_mario: perhaps be a bit more specific. [14:28] raven, good news [14:28] gafir: and for swap select swap fs [14:28] bazhang, tnx a lot [14:28] raven, welcome [14:28] mnemon: ok thanks, and for the other two? Should the /home partition have anything differnet than the install partition? How big should the swap be? :-) [14:28] gafir, how much ram [14:29] 4GB [14:29] bazhang:4GB [14:29] gafir: set the swap to the amount of your ram [14:29] mnemon: ok [14:29] depends if you wish to hibernate [14:29] bazhang: don't like hybernate :-) [14:29] Dr_Willis: is there an app that will edit it? [14:29] hi, i am having a problem on going back to windows 7 [14:30] cousin_mario: Not really. [14:30] can anyone help? [14:30] gafir: just make / first and /home the second partition other than that it's just your choice what fs to use really [14:30] ianchute, dual boot? [14:31] bazhang, yes. i cant go back :( [14:31] mnemon: but on what basis do I choose, do you know of a tutorial for this? :-) thanks [14:31] mnemon: without knowledge i pretty much choose at random [14:31] ianchute: be more clear on what you mean. [14:31] ianchute, windows installed second? did you update grub? [14:31] gafir, you may wish to check the new ubuntu manual for some basics [14:32] !manual | gafir [14:32] bazhang, dr_willis, windows 7 was installed first.. i just wanted to try ubuntu [14:32] gafir: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [14:32] bazhang: danke [14:32] bazhang, no i did not update grub [14:32] ianchute: and the issue is what exactly? (dont use the term back, unluess you clearify what you mean by back) [14:32] ianchute, it is installed? [14:32] hey guys, installed ubuntu thursday, so far loving it, discovered you can install wow so set my account back up and installed, took me like 6 bastards hours, now i`ve hit a bit of a brick wall, my graphics card obviously isnt working, where would i find drivers i`ve tried looking at various guides but so far 3 attempts to solve this have failed :( [14:32] I have dual boot notebook and when I am in windows i'd like to acesses linux files with explore2fs, but my ubuntu has got raiserfs with is not supported by explore2fs. So, is it possible to change my fs from raiserfs to ext4 without losing my data mainly my /home with gparted? [14:32] bazhang: is this the official manual? it looks good :-) [14:32] gafir, yep :) [14:33] Dr_Willis, bazhang, i am using ubuntu right now [14:33] gafir: its a work in progress from what ive read. Its slowly to get expaanded and with more advanced versions [14:33] gafir: as time goes on. [14:33] metric1983, system administration hardware drivers; what card [14:33] nice [14:33] :-) [14:33] Dr_Willis, bazhang, i want to go back to windows 7. [14:33] ianchute: so you reboot.. and select windows at the GRUB menu.... [14:33] Dr_Willis, bazhang, and by "go back" i mean boot to windows 7 [14:33] orion_X11, reiserfs can't be converted to ext4, but you could just copy the files somewhere else, destroy the partition and create a new one with ext4 [14:34] ianchute, this is 10.04 right? [14:34] Dr_Willis, bazhang, yes... i did that, but it says wuibldr error [14:34] Dr_Willis, bazhang, yes. [14:34] ianchute, this is a wubi install then? [14:34] orion_X11: you need to back up your data first (ie to external drive) then reformat this partition from single mode [14:34] Dr_Willis, bazhang, yes this is wui [14:34] *wubi [14:34] ianchute: did you do a 'boot the cd, type install' or a 'pop in cd, and ran some installer.exe' type install?

[15:47] zaida, how does it crash, what do you see and what is the last thing you see [15:47] blue-frog, Wrong. At least its no always installed in my system - I just tried 'gok' and ist said 'not yet installed' :) [15:47] AnxiousNut, there are no guarantees with ndiswrapper, ymmv [15:47] i will see these links [15:47] My parents have an IBM machine with Intel graphics, Lucid is the first release to give them issues of any kind. They can run any program on the system with no issues at all it seems. As soon as they start browsing the web with firefox the entire screen goes black and as far as I can tell you have to push the power button on the front of the case so it shuts down, just to start over again. I installed Chromium browser and it does the same [15:48] nocleader: it says it isn't installed? or it says no such file or directory? [15:48] I removed flash and it still occurs. Java plugin is installed still though.

You can install it by typing: [15:50] Guest91163: oh my god, thanks man -- that should be considered a bug, not to install assistive technology apps by default [15:50] acicula, ubuntu X system is broken I need to start ubuntu without X to recover [15:50] guntbert: I ran it a little while yesterday and it seemed ok. Should I just let it run for a good while? [15:50] blue_anna: mine says (10.04) The program 'gok' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gok [15:50] zaida, if you choose rescue, or recovery mode when booting from the livecd you can elect to drop to shell rather then start X [15:50] blue-frog, Well, I don't think its a bug. Anyway, I think a reinstall (apt-get install) will fix it. [15:50] what's [15:50] Can anyone point me to a URL for the alternate installer boot files? (don't need the whole CD) [15:51] blue-frog, sorry. That was meant for someone else :) [15:51] hi all [15:51] LinuxGuy2009: it should run one complete pass ( 8 tests or so) without any errors [15:51] jiesjhu [15:51] nocleader: yea I was getting "did you mean "gak" from "gui-apt-key" .. if it recognized it from the apt-cache initially I never would have been here asking :) thanks -- thanks everyone [15:51] Maybe I could pop out the ram and re-seat them too.

(e.g. indicator-sound, indicator-me, etc, etc) [15:54] systest, i'm guessing those are used for the normal desktop/install cd, but i guess the initrd and kernel don't differ [15:54] systest, Well, I didn't understand a thing.

[17:21] me, I mean [17:21] I don't irc chat often [17:21] michaelv: if you run: cd /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist; ls do you see any files which don't end in .conf ? [17:21] Guys, I am not talking of changing or finding out the root password.. But the hash entry in /etc/shadow for both root and my username is the same.. How is that? [17:21] ok this is really frustrating [17:21] anyone else had a problem with the network manager just not being visible. [17:22] salil_, try "su -" in terminal and typing your own password - if it works then the root password is the same as yours [17:22] salil_: did you set no password on your account? [17:22] An_Ony_Moose, I think that's likely to fail if root password wasn't set. [17:22] An_Ony_Moose: Yep.. It does work.. [17:22] grendal_grime: you mean the icon in the panel missing? but the tool is running? [17:22] Daekdroom, obviously not :P [17:23] ActionParsnip: There is a password on my account.

It happened immediately following my 10.04 upgrade. [17:26] hey guys [17:26] So that means you cannot do an "su" in ubuntu? [17:26] hello there everyone [17:26] long time without comming into here [17:26] jdeloach: using 2 monitors/twinview/nvidia ? [17:26] does anyone know if it's possible to assign a virtual desktop to an external monitor? [17:26] pls help me to fix the above pblm i stated [17:27] ceno: you can extend a desktop across.. it might be possible with some other window managers (perhaps E17) but not with gnome [17:27] Dr_Willis I am using Xinerama ( acctually fakexinerama to fix another problem ). But yes, I have to monitors, and one is normal, one has hard to read text. [17:27] ok, I can't seem to get in with that line, but I can backtrack in the terminal as I have been looking at the blacklist [17:27] jdeloach: with nvidia/twinvie3w and the nvidia-settings tool i can tweak the colors [17:27] I looked at blacklist.conf in edit mode, but not the line you gave me [17:28] what's the easiest and the more lightweight way to enable sound notification upon connecting/disconnecting the Internet? [17:28] Dr_Willis, what about compiz? is it worth fiddling with the options? [17:28] Dr_Willis: I don't use eithier of those, I just use standard Display and X.org stuff. All I use is Xinerama. [17:28] how can you copy and paste from chat lines? [17:28] babu__: Restate you question about every ten to fifeteen minutes, if someone can help they will pick it up :) [17:28] oi [17:28] italia1 [17:28] in Nautilus, Ubuntu's file manager, whenever I select "sort by name", files like "023A" would come after "4B", even though it should come before it - is there any way to make Nautilus sort files so that "023A" would come before "4B" (like Windows does)? [17:29] michaelv: you need to make sure those files all end in .conf then run the command to load the driver [17:29] michaelv: what client are you using [17:29] xchat [17:29] chi mi legge [17:29] I have somehow destroyed my sound settings and I cant get any sound (music for example) out... how can I remove my drivers and have them reinstalled ?

[17:29] come faccio [17:30] michaelv: you should be able to highlight, then right click, and select copy [17:30] JenniferB: repeating too often is how you kept being disconnected ;-) [17:30] I was installing some custon python libraries, and I think I borked my entire python installation. Is there anyway I can reinstall python without having to reinstall the entire OS? Thanks [17:30] !repeat | JenniferB [17:30] JenniferB: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. === ogen is now known as tripelb [17:30] maco: repeating what ? [17:30] JenniferB: your question, in multiple channels. and like how you just said it twice in 15 seconds in here [17:30] Leif: pythons pretty intergrated into ubuntu, eg: apt uses it a lot, so what makes you think python is broke ? [17:30] i kept repeating because I was getting disconnected [17:30] michaelv: to paste, either shift+Ins(ert), or right click, and select paste [17:30] Oh, by the way, sudo apt-get install --reinstall python doesn't help, nore does sudo apt-get install --reinstall python*, as I get errors [17:30] I never saw the answer [17:30] thank you. I did. but it still says bash, etcetera :Not a directory [17:31] Dr_Willis, thx anyway, you saved me a great deal of googling, cheers! [17:31] JenniferB: there's a bot that disconnects you if you ask the same thing in a bunch of channels at once [17:31] JenniferB: because it thinks its spam [17:31] I have paste.ubuntu.com opened in browser for longer pastes [17:31] Aha, ok.. [17:31] JenniferB: but anyway, crimsun in #ubuntu-women says you shouldnt need to reinstall anything [17:31] ikonia: Several python scripts I was using no longer work [17:31] JenniferB: and umm are you using ubuntu or kubuntu? === Rusty is now known as rustynails [17:32] michaelv: just copy the text in terminal, you need to change directory to that directory to check the files [17:32] Leif: in what way don't work, what does "python -V show [17:32] I did, but it says its not a directory [17:33] michaelv: you probably have a filename in your paste. [17:33] Anyone using Wubi?....does it work.?... [17:33] Hi, I'm having some trouble restoring my backed up pgp keys. I backed up the gnupgp and gnome/keyring folders and copied the contents over to the appropriate folders in my home dir (and they show up in password manager) but when trying to decrypt a file encrypted with them I get "There is no application installed for PGP/MIME-encrypted message header files". [17:33] fcorm6_: i would reccoemd not using wubi. [17:33] ikonia: Python 2.6.5 [17:33] Also, the hda sound analyzer can no longer find any audio codecs. [17:33] cd /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist; ls this is what I pasted to the terminal [17:33] Leif: ok, so that's the ubuntu version, so it looks like the core binary is in place [17:33] fcorm6_: I've had terrible experiences with Wubi, can't say I recommend it. [17:34] I've got a problem using the torrent download for Ubuntu 9.10 with Transmission. My system is an AMD 9.10 upgrade from 9.04 - I have two hard drives. Both are mounted. The second is NTFS which is my target drive. What I get is: Error: Permission denied (/media/ubuntu-9.10desktop-i386.iso) In preferences a directory is chosen on the 2nd drive. I resaved the preferences and tried again. Same story, morning glory. [17:34] ikonia: Ya, I'm guessing it's just some modules that are broken. [17:34] JenniferB: if youre on kubuntu check what priorities you have set for audio in systemsettings -> multimedia [17:34] rustynails, wubi worked fine for me. [17:34] JenniferB: im heading off to lunch now, but crimsun should be able to help in the other channel i think [17:34] Leif: ok, so that's different, eg: re-installing python won't do anything, so you need to check the module versions that are in the python path [17:34] Ethernet and Wireless dont work at same time.. How can I fix this [17:34] tripelb: Huh. I could never get it to work right - never would boot up. Well, glad it worked for you! :) [17:34] michaelv: add .conf to the end before pressing enter. [17:35] ikonia: Oh, okay...joy... :) [17:35] Dr_Willis/rustynails....thank u....tried it and not even loading....so I am just not bothering with it...tx again [17:35] Dr_Wllis: Any ideas? [17:35] Leif: a drag, I grant you [17:35] Dr_Willis: any ideas? [17:35] fcorm6_: You're welcome...sorry about that :\ [17:35] jdeloach: on what? :) [17:35] maco... thanks, I will try that [17:35] Is it so hard so share wireless connection? [17:35] I did that, but says the same thing, but if I use gksudo gedit I can open the editor and look at the file ?? [17:35] Dr_Willis: On the text being lighter on one screen than another. [17:36] michaelv: heh, like I said earlier - you have a filename in your paste, just use /etc/modprobe.d [17:36] uLinux: shouldent be, [17:36] ok [17:36] jdeloach: check monitor controlls/settings i guess.

[17:37] michaelv: ok do all the files end in .conf ? [17:37] How can I solve this error: "There is no application installed for PGP/MIME-encrypted message header files"? I restored my old keys and they show up in password manager but I can't decrypt files. :\ [17:38] JenniferB: do you have kubuntu-desktop installed on top of Ubuntu? [17:38] !firestarter [17:38] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[17:39] no.. i have gnome.. i destroyed my settings by just changing setttings in the sound prefereces, and changing back [17:39] which will work for my purposes but is there a reason it doesn't show up in the partners category (or seemingly at all)? [17:39] oracle2: most of the docks do. [17:39] NoobFukaire: then install it using apt-get [17:39] crimsun: but when I changed back it never came [17:39] oracle2: yes it requires compositing [17:39] yeah like I said, it's fine but I'm just curious why it doesn't show up in the software center [17:39] Hey, I am still learning the terminal.

The first machine I tried it on wa short on ram and it didnt work.

[17:42] Dr_Willis: thanks [17:43] linux's advantage isn't really that you save money with it (even though I don't doubt it's true in many cases) [17:43] it's just a great common platform, so you don't get ruled by a king [17:43] you know what, I have a desktop with an intel video card that is blacklisted by compiz.
