[00:00] that almost worked, but I got "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:00] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:00] " [00:00] colex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xournal [00:00] BrainDance: Try "sudo !!" [00:00] woah [00:00] hey... its actually doing anything [00:00] something* [00:01] what did that sudo !! actually do? lol [00:01] BrainDance: Repeat your last command as root. [00:01] i need help playing an online live streaming video that uses microsoft media server plugin [00:01] I'm good at copy/pasting commands but, not at knowing whats actually going on [00:01] can someone help plz? [00:01] ah, makes sense, thanks :) looks like it worked, or at least did something [00:01] BrainDance, ouch, that's pretty dangerous. [00:01] yeah, true unop [00:02] I'm working on it though! [00:03] unop, BrainDance: sudo is nothing dangerous. Besides, you need root level permissions in order to use apt or dpkg. Just always check your commands twice before running them as root. [00:03] bezdomni: yep, this is it! thanks this is what I was looking for, thank you [00:03] Hi, I R STUPID, what is a good resource to learn more about linux from? [00:03] colez: np. glad to help :) [00:03] nathrite: Books [00:03] It's like the internet, but printed on paper [00:03] nathrite: Check out the O'Reilly books [00:04] Any specific one, there are a lot.. [00:04] clrg, running commands (especially under sudo) that people give you over IRC without knowing what they do exactly is not dangerous? [00:04] Ehh, O'Reilly hasn't published good books in years [00:04] when installing Linux, does the MBR still need to be near the beginning of the disk partition? [00:04] I did take a class in Linux about 5 or 6 years ago, back when I was still in high school, but back then my conclusion after the class was "linux is a waste of time, everything takes 10 times as long to accomplish and theres no point to it" [00:04] stupid nintendo 64 emulator doesnt work (gmameui) [00:04] I must agree with unop that sudo !! is dangerous [00:04] What is a good usenet client? [00:04] Is there any special way I can run firefox and direct any errors to a file? Ive tried "firefox > errors.txt" but it winds up empty. Im trying to figure out why my parents computer is having issues with the monitor blacking out at random times online. [00:04] so after that, I kind of forgot everything [00:04] in the old days, the MBR had to be within the first 1024 cyl or something [00:05] until one day busting a computer and only having a ubuntu disk, then I realized how much things have changed, and I have to relearn everything :( [00:05] BrainDance: That rather sounds like multiple package managers might be active at the same time is that the case? [00:05] unop: I see your point. Try "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1; init 6" =D =D =D [00:05] nathrite, try http://ubuntu-manual.org/ if you are really new to ubuntu [00:05] froglet: MBR is always the first sector. In the early days /boot in its intirety had to be within the first 1024 cyls [00:05] Question: Is there a distro (or version of Ubuntu) that can be booted live from a CD or USB drive, and that includes the necessary packages for Gparted to edit ntfs partitions? [00:05] arand I have absolutely no idea :P [00:05] Anyone here fimilar with KQlives? [00:05] funkyHat, where are songs stored in the files? [00:05] bezdomni: ok, I'd better do my homework :) , thank you again and good bye [00:05] Is there a way to install Ubuntu without all the programs and services? [00:06] @Andorin, there's a live cd version of Gparted [00:06] BrainDance: Close synaptic, software centre, etc. and run the command [00:06] BrainDance: I guess your command was something like "apt-get install ... ", which installed new packages on your system. [00:06] un214 yes that's it. So I can install all of Linux after Windows 7? [00:06] clrg, hah. sudo kill -1 # is better :) [00:06] No custom install option? [00:06] BrainDance: "sudo aptitude install gnome-app-install" [00:06] sidney: use the minimal cd and install a command line system [00:06] oh, yeah arand, actually after I first ran the command, I noticed I had synaptic running [00:06] froglet: on any modern bios it works [00:06] Reyendo: Rly? o.o A CD of just Gparted? That would be... rather useful. It'd have to have the ntfs-editing software, tho. [00:06] then closed it before doing sudo !! [00:06] I really could use some help my mom and dad are ready to uninstall Lucid and go back to Jaunty. This is two releases in a row with bad results for them. Someone please help? [00:06] un214: ty [00:06] modern here means post-2000 [00:07] BrainDance: So did it install it alright? [00:07] yes this is a new laptop [00:07] Irunongames: on the iPod they are in weirdly ordered folders under iPod/Library or something. When you copy them with rhythmbox it puts them in folders by artist and album and names them sensibly [00:07] unop: Just do a "umount -l /dev".. Who needs hardware xD [00:07] yes, indeed it did, but now I have no idea how to get to it [00:07] Andorin, livecd should have all you need, no? [00:07] Irunongames: in ~/Music by default [00:07] anyone have a recommendation on usenet readers? [00:07] Ok thanks :) [00:07] nathrite, try http://ubuntu-manual.org/ if you are really new to ubuntu [00:07] <-- AngryPunk_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out) <-- That is kind of what I'm looking for, just a bit more, err, technical. [00:07] BrainDance: Administartion menu, under system [00:07] midas_: The standard Ubuntu live CD doesn't have the ntfsprogs package, which gparted needs to resize or move an ntfs partition on a hard disk. [00:07] clrg, unop umount -l /dev sounds like a crash [00:08] thats where I expected it to be, but I'm only finding synaptic, I might just be being blind though [00:08] un214: Jup [00:08] yeah, nothing [00:08] but the install seemed to go fine, hmmm [00:08] Andorian: the standard cd is up well enough to run apt-get install ntfsprogs from the live cd environment [00:08] un214: Are you able to install packages on a live CD? [00:09] * clrg should get a few hours of sleep [00:09] Andorin: it writes them to RAM [00:09] BrainDance: Well you could just run "gnome-app-install" or possibly "gksu gnome-app-install" from terminal... [00:09] hello, I am currently on 8.04. Update manager does not offer an upgrade to 10.04 even though Software Sources does say to offer upgrades for LTS releases. If I change the option to offer all releases, Update Manager then offers to upgrade me to 8.10. If I toggle the setting back to only LTS upgrades, it doesn't offer me anything. How can I upgrade 8.04 -> 10.04 directly using update manager? [00:09] Andorin, see also ubuntu rescue mix [00:09] un214: Guess that works well enough for my purposes, but it'd be nice to have a permanent copy that I would be able to use sans an Internet connection. Hence my original question about a live CD that includes ntfsprogs. === sidney is now known as sidneyu [00:09] lostintime: you don't [00:09] Andorin, http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ === sidneyu is now known as sidney [00:10] un214: why not? [00:10] lostintime either you modify /etc/apt/sources.list by hand or you do each upgrade version in turn [00:10] un214: ok i found it thanks [00:10] midas_: Rescue mix is CLI only? [00:10] well, gnome-app-install gave me a command not found, gksu gnome-app-install started running something, loading mouse cursor and all that, then just quit and took me back to the terminal. [00:10] Andorin, no [00:10] 4chan [00:10] maybe its just no longer able to work in ubuntu? [00:11] I know streams are saved in /tmp, but how can I determine the location from which they are being copied? [00:11] which would be a shame [00:11] un214: no, LTS -> LTS is a supported upgrade path (evidenced by the fact an option exists in the gui settings for such) [00:11] funny last time I asked they said you couldn't skip versions [00:11] if my laptop is Intel 64 bit can I still install Ubuntu 64 bit or should I install the 32 bit one? [00:11] Andorin, but may be easier to install to ram what you need [00:11] un214: You can't skip versions, but LTS to LTS isn't skipping a version [00:11] nathrite, then maybe this is a good place to start: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux_Guide [00:12] is there a way to make the sound applet in the corner of ubuntu control OSS instead of ALSA? [00:12] un214: You can't go between 8.04 and 9.04 for instance, but you can go between 8.04 and 10.04 [00:12] froglet: yes but uness you have > 4GB ram don't bother [00:12] un214, lostintime: also, you don't want to manually edit sources.list, there's easier ways now [00:12] in fact, Linux x86 will take up to 64GB ram by itself [00:12] Okay, another question. My drive has a chunk of allocated space on /dev/sda2, and I need to move it to /dev/sda1. How to do this via gparted? [00:12] un214 I have exactly 4GB RAM [00:12] Andorin, the live cd supports merging directory trees (see Casper) so anything named foo.dir in the same path as the squashfs file will be merged into the filesystem [00:12] Flannel: I've gotten burned by do-release-upgrade one time too often now [00:12] un214: right, you can't skip arbitrary versions, but you can go LTS -> LTS [00:12] so it's a no-go? [00:12] I let apt-get dist-upgrade sort it out now [00:13] froglet: it goes but I don't recommend it [00:13] does anyone know how to install mms plugin for firefox? [00:13] un214: You realise that update manager does more for you than just dist-upgrade, right? (but it does use dist-upgrade internally) [00:13] now, so at least I'm actually learning something, what does gksu actually do? [00:13] un214: how about the 32 bit one will that work? [00:13] how can i stop ubuntu from getting locked every 5mins? [00:13] unelss there's some driver problem [00:13] Bigshot: Edit your Screensaver and Power Management preferences. [00:13] BrainDance: gksu is the form of sudo for GUI programs [00:14] Flannel: yeah but it installes blocked packages and uninstalls other packages to unblock them [00:14] Bigshot: locked as in screensaver and user password ? see Screensaver prefs [00:14] ahhh, okay [00:14] Flannel, un214: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrade%20from%208.04%20LTS%20to%2010.04%20LTS suggests I pass --devel-release to update manager and then it does offer me 10.04. Must be some sort of bug... Thanks for listening! [00:14] I had to boot a rescue kernel once [00:14] well in that case I will try 64 and if it does not go well, then the 32 [00:14] thanks eye-zak [00:14] i mean Andorin [00:14] froglet: the driver issues are likely to be exactly the same with both [00:14] un214 ic ty I will forget it then [00:15] My drive has a chunk of allocated space on /dev/sda2, and I need to move it to /dev/sda1. How to do this via gparted? [00:15] hi everyone, im on ubuntu 10.4 lucid, and my alt pc is on winxp, im using the alt pc for minor things like running imvu 24/7, and what i wanna do is have all sound on the alt pc play on my main, without playing on the alt, while im in vnc, by using a cable going from the speaker port of the alt to the mic port on my main, my question is, is there any way i could set lucid to "listen" to the mic port and play sound from it live? kinda like [00:15] window's "listen to device" thing? [00:15] I got the machine just for games anyway so no big disappointment [00:15] lostintime: Right, by default LTS users wait a month or two before update-manager will ask if they want to upgrade [00:15] Andorin: I'd make the partition of exactly the same size then use dd to move it [00:16] un214: That's not something I'm familiar with. =x [00:16] Andorin: dd means disk to disk [00:16] Flannel: hmm, seems like a strange policy. This is expected behavior then? [00:16] dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sda1 [00:16] oh wait that looks weird [00:17] lostintime: Having to pass it --devel-release, yeah. In a month or two (I'm not sure on the actual time) it won't be required [00:17] Flannel: thanks, I wasn't aware of that [00:17] un214: I'm actually remotely helping (via IM) someone with their drive. This person is a computer noob and is dual-booting Windows XP and Ubuntu, and cannot afford to screw up the drive. So I'd need EXACT commands to tell them to run. [00:17] Snowe: I think you just need to activate that in your mixer panel [00:17] trying to see if there is any kind of linux email servers that you can make an email address with. I already have gmail and yahoo but want to find one that is run more by linux community not some big corporation. is there any liunx community maintained email server that is free? [00:18] Andorin: sorry I can't pull it off that well [00:18] vlt where at? i've been looking for it for like forever x.x the port works and all but its just not playing the sound back unless i record it and play it back like that [00:18] moving a chunck of data from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1 sounds suspiciously like asking the wrong question [00:19] un214: What I'm trying to do is move unallocated space from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1. [00:19] uhh unallocated should be not in a partition [00:19] un214: Hang on, I'll link you to a screenie I'll upload in a second. [00:20] should an (apt-get installed) ffmpeg can: ffmpeg -i some.wav create.mp3 ? [00:20] hmw: man ffmpeg [00:20] Andorin, why he has data he needs to move? gparted does not seem what to do here [00:20] iceroot: Please be helpful when helping [00:20] iceroot: the syntax seems correct, but can the Ubuntu version? [00:20] hmw: use lame [00:21] Flannel: that was helpfull to see if an option is provided [00:21] Snowe: uncheck "mute" for "mic" in the playback section should do it [00:21] midas_: No... we need to expand the partition on /dev/sda1 using unallocated space that currently resides on /dev/sda2. [00:21] Snowe: Try alsamixer [00:21] iceroot: "rtfm" is not helpful, nor is it acceptable in this channel [00:21] un214: Here's a pic of gparted displaying his drive: http://bayimg.com/image/dampkaaco.jpg [00:21] Flannel: yeah, keep cool [00:21] how come msg nickserv identify no work, but if i put it in xchat before login it work? [00:22] vlt i've been using whatever mixer is the default lol.. didnt think to try alsa, i'll give it a check though [00:22] un214: As you can see, it reported the 8.8 GB of unallocated space as residing in /dev/sda2, which prevents him from expanding /dev/sda1 into the empty space. [00:22] can someone explain me why ubuntu 10.04 does not load with the latest kernel, but does with others? a have dell laptop with integrated intel video. [00:22] Andorin oh I see extended partition [00:23] can anyone here help me with ubuntu? i just recently downloaded ubuntu netbook and desktop, burned them and tried them and keep getting errors or blinking typing symbol i tried using them on two different desktops. [00:23] hi [00:23] you want to expand the ntfs partition using unallocated space from a separate hard drive? [00:23] Sonsee: what exactly are happens on failed boot [00:23] you can't by chance lay hands on 6.6GB of space with an old disk can you? [00:23] because the procedure is dangerous [00:24] eye-zak, black screen after grub. [00:24] eye-zak, nothing more [00:24] rudane: It's not a separate drive... [00:24] is there any email servers we can make an email address through that are maintained by ubuntu/linux communities? [00:24] un214: It's possible. [00:24] hi [00:24] you want to back up /dev/sda5 first in case this goes bad [00:24] hey Defense|Twin, fancy seeing you here :) [00:24] I wasn't even aware gparted could expand ntfs partitions [00:24] I upgraded into 10.04 and now sound does not work. I've followed Sound Troubleshooting on wiki, but could not fix. The only message I get is on initalization that says "Starting pulseaudio: pulseaudio uses a per-user configuration", but when I check has started [00:24] rudane: It can with the ntfsprogs package. [00:24] rudane: it doesn't have to at all [00:24] Sonsee: ok ... many possibilities ... there are release notes for lucid at help.ubuntu.com with solutions for known problems with intels.. have u tried any ? [00:25] hi [00:25] if you resize the partiton next time you boot XP, XP will fix the filesystem [00:25] can someone recommend a good terminal alternative in LXDE [00:25] er Lubuntu [00:25] LXTerminal sux [00:25] eye-zak, could you please give a complete link? [00:25] HowardTheDude: I use xterm [00:25] does it have lots of dependencies [00:25] un214: Does "fix the filesystem" translate to "erase anything that isn't XP"? [00:25] I search an arcade game like lego batman, lego starwars, something simple to play like with some adventure and some fighting [00:25] Andorin no [00:25] HowardTheDuck: xterm or gnome-terminal [00:26] it sees the filesystem is smaller than the partition and grows it [00:26] yeah, i like gnome-terminal, but i dont want gnome-dependencies on this lubuntu laptop. its sloww [00:26] HowardTheDuck: Just curious: What's wrong with lxterminal? [00:26] i just need something else b/c lxterm doesn't let you alt-# so irssi is about useless here [00:26] un214: So does this simply require booting XP? [00:26] no [00:26] booting XP is the last step [00:27] HowardTheDuck: Should be possible to disable that [00:27] eye-zak, if it logs something, I could give the log, but I have no idea where to look. [00:27] vlt: nope i've googled around, that's just te way it is in lxterm [00:27] HowardTheDuck: Oh [00:27] Sonsee, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [00:27] vlt: no worries. i've had to replace a few apps on lubuntu already. the gnome media player stinks too hehe [00:28] Fresh lucid install. KDM won't log in. XDM does, but I want the default KDM. Help? [00:28] Sonsee, do u know exactly what intel (or 8x vs 9x vs Poulsbo) [00:28] Andorin: ok command sequence: [00:28] un214: So what exactly is the suggested procedure? [00:28] azbr00: thanks [00:28] command line, fdisk -l [00:28] eye-zak, never looked, how to see? It worked always right out of the box... [00:29] eye-zak, is there a command? [00:29] un214: K, writing these down for future reference... next? [00:29] find the starting block of /dev/sda5. You will need this number [00:30] you will also need the starting block of /dev/sda6 [00:30] eye-zak, yes ! [00:30] Sonsee, i know ... new issues with lucid kernel ... hold shift when booting to get grub prompt .. edit your default boot options to have i915.modeset=1 is what they suggest === juju2143 is now known as Eyjafjallajokull [00:30] eye-zak, i remember ) [00:30] arthurmaciel, does pactl list show your audio device ? [00:30] fdisk, delete /dev/sda2 === Eyjafjallajokull is now known as Guest25995 [00:30] eye-zak, it`s 855gm or something like [00:31] Sonsee, than this is the suggested fix for u [00:31] create a new extended partition starting one cylinder (subtract 1) from the start of /dev/sda5 [00:31] eye-zak, thanks [00:31] create sda5 of the exact same length it's listed [00:31] un214: What exactly is an "extended" partition? [00:31] it's what sda2 is [00:31] sda2 per se is a logical partition [00:31] sata disk [00:32] primary [00:32] No, I mean, what is the definition of an extended partition? [00:32] Andorin, you can only have 4 primary partitions on a disk (old spec) extended was designed to address that /w backward compatability [00:32] Andorin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended_partition [00:32] Right... [00:32] eye-zak: yes - Intel ICH6 [00:32] fdisk has a bug I think so this might not quite work === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [00:33] you will have to test mounting /dev/sda5 and if you got the placement wrong move it again [00:33] arthurmaciel, ok so your main control point is Sound Preferences .. have u made sure it is setup correctly ? have u checked alsamixer to make sure everything is on ? [00:33] do you fsck? [00:33] eye-zak: yes. I've done this many times and everything is correct. [00:34] is there a separate channel for fsck issues with an ext4 filesystem [00:34] ryoohki: maybe ##linux [00:34] i cant seem to be able to drag windows to different workspaces. Any ideas for what i should be looking for? [00:34] InvaderZim: thanks [00:34] arthurmaciel, not sure what else to suggest ... does aplay play a file for you ? (try without gdm running to avoid pulse) [00:34] np [00:34] un214: This is all starting to sound wayyy too complicated. Why don't I just clone his Ubuntu install, wipe /dev/sda2, expand /dev/sda1 to give it the space he wants, then restore Ubuntu into a new partition? [00:35] how can I change the name of a screen from a 4 digit number to a real name so I can do "screen -r rtorrent" or something like that instead of "screen -r 1394"? [00:36] eye-zak: I suppose that's the problem. None of the player plays anything [00:36] Andorin: good idea === Guest25995 is now known as juju2143 [00:37] arthurmaciel, most players use pulseaudio, aplay uses only alsa (if pulse doesn't intercept) .. but probably won't work if others don't [00:37] duckwars: It's not always a 4 digit number. It's the process id. [00:37] eye-zak: if I try: sudo service pulseaudio start it give me: PulseAudio configure for per-user session with a yellow star beside it === angel is now known as uchiha88 [00:37] un214: Only problem is that I was only recently introduced to cloning software... so while I've managed to successfully back up and restore an OS while testing on my laptop, I can't be sure it will go alright on his desktop. [00:37] My Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope) freezes whenever I try to shutdown/restart. Any ideas? [00:38] arthurmaciel, pulseaudio runs as part of your user session ... disabling this is nontrivial .. just log out and do it from a real tty (aplay has limited format support it's not really a player just an alsa tester) [00:38] vlt: so is there some way I can name the id? I did "ctrl-a A" but that doesn't rename the id [00:39] un214: use dd to a file inside a disk [00:39] duckwars: That renames the window. I faced the same problem and always give a decent name to window 0. [00:39] eye-zak: but logging out respawns gdm again [00:39] it will yield an error while copying back if you got the size wrong [00:39] arthurmaciel, switch to tty (ctrl-alt-f1) login and stop gdm [00:39] vlt: does this mean there is no way to change the id? [00:39] eye-zak: see you. I'll dive into tty now. Roger [00:40] duckwars: I still have to reattach it to see where I am, though ;-) [00:40] I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on my new HP 8530w laptop but I am facing the issue with the brightness control keys. I am able to use the ambient light sensor keys but not able to decrease the brightness. The graphics card is Nvidia 770m. so any help? [00:40] duckwars: You can't change the provess id, no [00:40] ahhh... I've made multiple screens, but you're saying I should have one screen and multiple windows? [00:40] you can restart pulseaudio from a console with the -D option [00:40] duckwars: You created multiple screens?!? [00:40] does anyone know if there is a windows media player installable on linux? [00:41] duckwars: I mean instead of using multiple windows? [00:41] vlt: well I had a screen with rtorrent, then detached, then did "screen" again... I'm not sure what to call that [00:41] duckwars: Ctrl+A,C [00:41] What's everyones favorite music player? === Loneclock is now known as Flyingwater [00:42] kroms: my everyone's favourite player is rhythmbox [00:42] nishanth: that's gonna be a hard on to find... Try usind Wine or VirtualBox if you must use specifically that player. [00:42] vlt, thanks. I'll check it out. [00:42] hard one* [00:43] duckwars: Ctrl+a," for a list of windows, ctrl+a, for the window, ctrl+a,s for split screen, yes, split screen! [00:43] sdeleon i am actually having trbl playing an online live streaming video... can you help me find a soln? [00:43] duckwars: ,s again for even more split screen [00:44] I'm quite desperate here. My Ubuntu won't shutdown properly. I think it was something about splash, but I disabled it some time ago to no good. Any help? [00:44] nishanth: does the site specify that you must use windows media? [00:44] anyone here ever run Acronis for backup? [00:44] vlt: hmm... well I have an important video conversion going on that has been going on for sometime now, so I don't wanna do anything too complicated for fear I'll mess it up and close that window [00:44] vlt : rhythmbox is good for podcast i think amarok is better for music though [00:45] hi all [00:45] helo vak [00:45] how to check system partition (mounted as /) for bad sectors? [00:45] I use badblocks [00:45] re [00:46] fdisk / -e [00:46] but badblocks says: /dev/sda7 is mounted; it's not safe to run badblocks!

[00:49] hello, Ive just installed xubuntu using alternate CD and system does not start, please help. It boots into black screen [00:49] not the physical surface check he wants [00:49] eye-zak: I went to console, stopped gdm and aplay just made some noise through laptop speaker, but no noise when headphones were plugged in. [00:49] exit [00:49] besides, if it can't servive a crash, oh well. === ahmed is now known as Ency [00:50] eye-zak: came back to X (restarting gdm) and alsamixer was mutted on Master M with many settings changed. I fixed them, aplay plays noise, but players can't play music. [00:50] hey can anybody help me with getting the 3D cube effect working? I have cube but 3d doesnt seem to work [00:51] hello [00:51] onetinsoldier! [00:51] HELLO [00:51] Ency: hi. how you doing? [00:51] onetinsoldier: good been playing with and reading about linux all day [00:51] Ency: good :-) [00:51] eye-zak: hey, vlc is playing but tooooooo low. [00:52] is there a good write to zeros program for linux [00:52] onetinsoldier: I like this guys effects: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzDLaPlGZ_s but Im stuck early on. I cant get 3D cube going [00:52] Ency: you'll be a guru in no time :) [00:53] corpse: dd if=/dev/zero of=drive [00:53] eye-zak: I went to check alsamixer and it was low again! [00:53] no it didn't work [00:53] wait, should it have been a bash script, let me try again [00:53] eye-zak: raising alsamixer volume it play on great volume. [00:53] un214: thank you [00:53] arthurmaciel, hmm not sure... could be alsa tweaks requiring some specific combo .. or pulse is incorrectly managing your alsa (sounds like) [00:54] arthurmaciel, i know some ppl had to backport new versions of alsa for lucid, hopefully that's not what u need [00:54] i don't understand all the trouble people having with sound. i know one alsa or pulse - anywayz one plays from multiple sources even if in use, but other only play from one source or program. never had an issuse. [00:55] Ency: just started watching it now. what's your video card? [00:55] how to block websites in ubuntu like there is a host file in windows? [00:56] onetinsoldier: trying to find out.... its an intel of some sort. using an hp pavillion dv6000 laptop [00:56] absk007, either drop the ip via firewall rules or just define another ip in /etc/hosts [00:56] Ency: i see. you card will probably be hard pressed to do that stuff [00:56] onetinsoldier: 945 GM/GMS [00:57] onetinsoldier: sucks :( [00:57] yo yo yo [00:58] Ency: i have most of that going on my desktop tho. i didn't enable fire effects, and not sure how to enable the middle click or whatever on the desktop to spin the cube, but i can see it spin when i select different virtual desktops [00:58] Ency: but then again, i have a desktop computer that i built ;-) [00:59] actionParsnip: howdy [00:59] hi i have problem with my wifi is atheros ar2413 i can see access point but cant log [00:59] and on 9.10 work with out problem [01:00] how do I completely disable the "emulate 3 buttons" I have a 9 button mouse and the emulate 3 seems to be messing with my mouse driver. [01:00] how do you spin the desktop cube manually? is there a keyboard shortcut? did it used to be middle mouse button long ago? [01:00] onetinsoldier: I have a new desktop PC I could use but we use it for magicjack (needs windows).... think I can run it using wine or maybe more likely in a virtual windows on ubuntu? [01:00] I downloaded the Desktop CD that should have an option to try Ubuntu without installing, but that option doesn't show up...any suggestions? === rhill is now known as stokd [01:01] stokd: have you downloaded the alternate version? [01:02] still cant seem to get the audio to play back.. i can see in the mixer the input levels jump up when the cable is plugged in, but i hear nothing .-. and i still cant seem to find a switch or button of any kind to make it playback the sound.. [01:02] sabat: you can set stuff like that if you formulate an xorg.conf file [01:02] eye-zak: I hope not. I'll reboot to ensure it will work. Thanks. [01:03] rhill: did you md5 test the ISO you downloaded? [01:03] Ency: don't know for sure. some stuff doesn't work too well or perhaps connect to internet to well when run in a vm. but you wouldn't now until you tried it. perhaps someone here knows whether magicjack works in wine ot a vm [01:03] or* [01:03] stokd: did you md5 test the ISO you downloaded? [01:03] sabat : http://tinyurl.com/cvxk3r [01:03] I haven't, a friend just gave me the disk he burnt [01:04] stokd: ok did you test the cd for defects? [01:04] He got a full graphical installer on his Macbook when he installed it, I have the same one and the Try Ubuntu option isn't on the menu [01:04] Just by looking at it it's not scratched or anything, is there a utility I can use to test it? [01:05] option to test disk shows up when you boot from cd i think [01:05] stokd: the first boot screen will allow you to test the disk. If the CD fails the test then the data is corrupt in some way and would explain why you are getting issues [01:06] Ok I'll try that. Just out of curiosity, is there a way to try ubuntu and boot it from a USB drive? [01:06] many users mess up when burning iso to cd in windows - i always recommend a program called magicISO it works. [01:06] I just want to try it but don't want to install it just yet, I've got a dual boot with OS X 10.6.3 and Windows 7 so I don't have much more space to spare [01:07] stokd: sure you can use the CD + a windows app to put the files on a usb [01:07] stokd: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-ubuntu-9-10-live-usb-in-windows/ [01:07] dual boot osx? i don't know about macs [01:07] actionparsnip; use unetbootin [01:07] never tried install on mac intel [01:08] iae [01:08] dasldam [01:08] daslfnas [01:08] i would think the try it version is for windows [01:09] Sweet, I'll have to try that. I guess the last thing is I just need to find out of I can actually boot from a USB drive on this thing. [01:09] unetbootin has version for windows [01:09] someone knows if it's posible to get two or more diferent versions of linux like debian, ubuntu. kbuntu, etc.,in the same drive [01:10] it reformats for you so you can skip a step [01:10] Horus, yup [01:10] Horus: I don't see why not, so long you give them different partitions [01:10] how is that done acicula [01:10] Horus : virtualbox do that i think [01:10] Horus, install each distro to each own partition, and instead of normal install each distributions boatloader on just its own partition (instead of the MBR) except one which chainloads the other distros [01:10] stokd: trying to get a bootable ubuntu in usb? [01:11] if you just want to try a distribution Virtualbox is a lot easier to manage though [01:12] acicula : yeah, and won't mess up your primary install of ubuntu === AaronMcD is now known as AaronM [01:12] Hmm maybe I'll just try a virtualbox first [01:13] Dmstrdj: i've not used netbootin but know that works ;) [01:13] and the diferent distros can be in the same grub or they will be in diferent startup..... boot [01:13] test [01:13] test failed ;) [01:13] actionparsnip; i do like it a lot [01:15] how do you spin the desktop cube manually? is there a keyboard shortcut? did it used to be middle mouse button long ago? [01:16] Horus: yes [01:16] Horus: grub will add all of them === vic20gmr is now known as vic20gmr_[lucid] [01:16] K [01:16] nfotec, if you make sure a distro's bootloader does not touch the MBR whatever other OS are installed remain untouched [01:17] TNX [01:17] Hey, I am trying to install ubuntu server via USB using UNetbootin. When i get the the Unetbooting boot screen it does nothing when i click on install. I can only do default and then that freeze up when i get to the language selection screen. any ideas? [01:17] Horus: to show up at boot, grub or any bootloader, just needs the 512 of the MBR in the 1st fixed disk in the system, the OSes can be elsewhere and they'll be loaded [01:17] s/512/& bytes/ :) [01:18] !i18n [01:18] !www [01:18] can anyone clue me in on /usr/share/X11/locale? [01:19] onetinsoldier: I think you hold Ctrl+Alt and move the mouse. [01:19] Appl6: ok, thanks. i'll try it [01:19] acicula, i know but it a pain to maintain. perhaps if he doing this he need a diff boot loader instead of using mbr? [01:19] corpse: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? [01:20] Appl6: yep, that's it! thank you :) [01:20] blue_anna: locale is language files right? [01:20] nfotec: yup [01:20] upon placing a new upstart job in /etc/init/, it's deleted upon reboot. how can I prevent this? (or properly add an upstart job) [01:21] onetinsoldier: i have not. but i have burned working CDs with the iso as well as a working usb. I had to reformat the USB and now i cant get it working again [01:21] blue_anna: i never mix with it, leave default lang [01:21] Appl6: well, that was essentially it anyway. had to do... Ctrl+Alt+hold left lick [01:21] Anyone know what might cause this? Upgraded a fresh 9.10 to 10.04. Logging into my user gets just the background image for gnome and failsafe after reboot. [01:22] maelaian: if you press alt+f2 do you get the usual run box thing? [01:22] let me check [01:22] I was reading on the debain list that ubuntu locale settings are idependently developed, it's not just copied from debain -- they were even looking into importing some ubuntu work. [01:22] is there an ubuntu-dev or somesuch? [01:23] corpse: doesn't the live-cd have a 'make/create startup usb' option from the logged desktop menus? to make a live-usb [01:23] Hi, can someone help me mount my hard-drives? [01:23] blue_anna: i think it's #ubuntu-develop [01:23] Hi, can someone help me mount my 3 hard-drives? [01:23] actionParsnip: Pressing alt-f2 after login does nothing, neither does switching to a tty [01:23] onetinsoldier: nah no one there [01:23] actionParsnip: mouse is responsive but keyboard lights arent toggling [01:24] allo_946: why aren't they mounting? any errors? [01:24] maelaian: if you log on as another user is it ok? [01:24] actionParsnip: There is only one user. [01:24] maelaian: make another then, just to tes [01:24] Typos_King: They keep on mounting in the wrong folders and switching about [01:24] is mplayer the same as movie player? [01:25] actionParsnip: alright one second [01:25] blue_anna: well, you had it right... it's -dev [01:25] nishanth: No. mplayer is a CLI based movie player. [01:26] blue_anna: correction. i used /join #ubuntu-dev, and it put me in #ubuntu-devel [01:26] movie player in ubuntu runs totem no mplayer [01:26] onetinsoldier: (heart) ty [01:26] undecim i just installed mplayer and i cant find where it is [01:26] nishanth: dunno 'movie player', mplayer is a media player, yes [01:26] nishanth: You run mplayer from the command line [01:26] blue_anna: yw [01:26] hello everybody [01:26] mplayer runs in terminal i think? [01:26] nishanth: I think there is a gnome frontend to it... 1 sec. [01:27] i want to install frostwire in ubuntu lucyd using a JRE non installed with synaptic [01:27] actionParsnip: A new user has the same result. [01:27] nishanth: gnome-mplayer should allow you to use mplayer without a terminal. [01:27] heh [01:27] undecim thanx [01:27] I need some grub2 help.. and I've read the ubottu link already thanks.. next to "quiet splash" in the kernel boot line I need to add pci=nomsi to make my machine boot.. on 9.10 there was /boot/grub/grub.cfg I could edit for a single boot, then modify the right file and sudo update-grub but 10.04 doesn't have a grub.cfg at all.. looks like a binary file.. how do I do this.. [01:27] when i was exec in terminal the next command "sudo gdebi frostwire..." the console sends me an error message [01:27] if i use the dual boot option for installing ubuntu, will i loose all my data? [01:27] "sun-jre... does not installed" [01:28] nishanth: by default I don't think mplayer has a frontend, I use Xine-ui, works quite well, many also prefer vlc, so pick there [01:28] how can i install it? [01:28] java-6-openjre jde is installed on my lucid i see nothin' wrong with it. [01:28] there are two gui frontends for mplayer [01:29] scunizi: editting grub.cfg will make the effect permanent until the next upgrade. [01:29] nfotec: did you install it with synaptic? [01:29] perhaps you get sun java by downloading and install netbeans with jdk and install as normal user in .java .netbeans etc. [01:29] undecim: there is no grub.cfg on 10.04 that I can find [01:29] scunizi: What you probably want to do is hold down shift on boot to get to the grub menu and use "e" to edit the boot line to change it for just one boot. Then edit /etc/default/grub if that worked and run sudo update-grub to make in permanent. [01:30] Chak82 : don't know for sure i'm pretty sure it install from universe or something [01:30] typos_king i have been trying to play an online video which uses Totem Browser Plugin using GStreamer 0.10.28 ... but this does not play the video....can you help me with this? [01:30] undecim: been there done that.. no menu comes up [01:30] i dont know [01:30] Anyone know what might cause this? Upgraded a fresh 9.10 to 10.04. Logging into my user gets just the background image for gnome and failsafe after reboot. Created a new user and had the same result. [01:30] Chak82: apt-cache search openjdk [01:30] scunizi: You hold down left shift from the moment you see your manufacturer's menu when you first turn on your computer? [01:31] undecim: this is a triple boot system .. XP, Kubuntu, Ubuntu (don't ask why.. long story) === radar3d is now known as radar3d|AFK [01:31] undecim: yep [01:31] nfotec: so? [01:31] undecim: I get a grub rescue prompt [01:31] hold on.. [01:31] scunizi: In that case, grub must be on your other *buntu install. [01:31] maelaian: ok so we now know its not profile related. I'd try reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop metapackage [01:32] you mean the other drive? [01:32] actionParsnip: I will give that a try. [01:32] nfotec: i need to register my jre in some place in ubuntu for the SO can read of it [01:32] nishanth: I know mplayer can, vlc and xine-ui can play online material too, only thing is xine-ui and vlc have a frontend by default, for mplayer you'd need to get one [01:32] nfotec: i was register a $JRE_HOME and $JAVA_HOME in .bashrc in my work folder (/home/user) [01:32] undecim: you mean the other drive? .. this problem install was the last one to be installed .. I believe it installed grub to sda1 but root, swap and home are on sdb [01:32] Typos_King well this was a different issue i asked help for [01:33] nfotec: you might try.... winff [01:33] i don't think people use $JAVA_HOME anymore [01:33] actionParsnip: is sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop enough? [01:33] scunizi: I think you should download and run that boot info script... 1 sec let me find a link. [01:33] undecim: last OS to be installed is suppose to write the "used" grub. [01:33] nfotec: sorry, wrong nick [01:33] nishanth: you might try --> winff [01:33] undecim: thanks [01:34] scunizi: Yes, but if multiple OSs have grub installed, they can conflict. [01:34] Chak82: i never did that with netbeans project and everything just worked [01:34] scunizi: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [01:34] undecim: I'll look thanks [01:35] onetinsoldier i am having trouble playing an online video live streaming ....can you help me with this? [01:35] scunizi: Make sure that grub on sda is pointing to the proper file on the latest install. [01:35] why libpng.so.3 is not found by my program [01:35] Chak82: you can define in your editor or ide the path to include or from commandline. or add to .profile [01:35] nishanth: oh, it's an online streaming video eh. not sure i can help very much with that [01:36] ok [01:36] scunizi: If it's pointing to the right file and the file doesn't exist, sudo update-grub should create it. [01:36] nishanth: do you have a link to it? [01:36] yes, you can define export JAVA_HOME=WhereverYOUrJDK installed [01:36] undecim: but if I'm in a live cd environment how to I do that.. I don't want to update the livecd grub [01:37] onetinsoldier yes shall i send it to you? [01:37] ok, ill do that [01:37] nishanth: yes [01:37] nfotec: ill do that, please wait [01:37] I see slash ... at bootup and the entire system is down because of this, wtf does slash do? [01:37] scunizi: If you need to create the file, I can help you with that. You have to set up a chroot environment.

[01:48] scunizi: Okay, we need to make the chroot and run update-grub then... [01:48] undecim: ok.. lets do it. [01:48] Distrogasm: If you enable the new repositories, it will constantly be bothering you to install most of the packages in your system. [01:48] scunizi: Gimme a minute and I will give you a pastebin of commands to run. [01:49] k [01:49] actionParsnip, just the broken link [01:49] Distrogasm: I meant "be bothering you to upgrade most of the packages". [01:49] I'm installing Ubuntu and need advice about partitioning my HD [01:49] actionParsnip, installing libpng3 installs this broken link [01:49] I think this is a bug [01:49] undecim: could I also sudo grub-setup -d /media/XXXX/boot/grub /dev/sda [01:49] undecim: where xxxx is actually the uuid of the partition? [01:49] actionParsnip, I can fix by hand [01:50] midas_: ok then i'd install libpng [01:50] midas_: log a bug too [01:50] scunizi: That won't add grub.cfg [01:51] What is the correct way to add something to PATH permanently? [01:51] undecim: k [01:52] undecim: is this what you're typing for pastebin? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [01:52] nfotec: the problem hasnt been solved [01:52] nfotec: this still sending an error message [01:52] scunizi: Alright, this should get you a chroot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/438588/ [01:53] stianhj: For everyone on the system or just one user?

[01:53] stianhj: add it to, /etc/environment [01:53] hello, does anyone know how to update aMSN? [01:53] hhm [01:53] Chak82: so you got sun JRE? [01:53] hello everyone: I am trying to mount a samba drive on boot. I have successfully mounted the drive with the following command "sudo smbmount //elyas/Volume_1 /mnt/Elyas1"... I have put this in /etc/init.d/local, set it to executable, and restarted my comp... However it doesnt work. I think it has to to with running the command as a superuser. How can I run smbmount as a superuser from the /etc/init.d/local script? [01:53] yeah [01:53] domina try package manager [01:54] Appl6: either really.. so I know till next time [01:54] onetinsoldier: i'll check it out, thanks [01:54] nfotec: i have installed in /usr/lib/jvm/JRE... [01:54] undecim: ok.. following.. hang on [01:54] nfotec: and works good [01:54] Keyboard/mouse frozen in X11: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/555169 [01:54] scunizi: Once chrooted, you can run "update-grub" and it should create the grub.cfg [01:54] stianhj: you're welcome. that would be for system wide [01:54] question about Lucid: can it run efficiently off of a 58.6GB partition? [01:54] hey midas_ it does't work man [01:54] CaptainTrek, definitely yes [01:54] onetinsoldier: thanks.. and .bashrc for specific user? [01:54] I've got mouse working following directions in that page. But not keyboard. [01:54] when i turn off the auto volume i don't hear anything [01:55] how do I remove OpenOffice?

(Mouse is /dev/psausx).

[01:56] nfotec: im giving up [01:56] hi [01:56] undecim: looks like it created it.. big test.. is it time to reboot? [01:56] scunizi: Check the existence of the file first [01:56] Question: How do I run a command from /etc/init.d/local as a superuser? [01:56] Chak82: maybe since you install from sun it need to be registered? [01:56] Dal: put it in /etc/fstab instead, then it will mount at boot [01:57] hello all. I need to know how to update to ubutnu 10.04 without a cd [01:57] scunizi: If the file is there, reboot.

[01:58] onetinsoldier: got your back dude [01:58] actionParsnip: cheers :-) [01:58] stianhj, This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [01:58] is only available from another source [01:59] ill work on getting mount to work 1st... then try putting it into fstab [01:59] undecim: it's there and I've edited the boot line appropriately.. look like to make the change perminent through future kernel upgrades I need to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux [01:59] !development [01:59] Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer?

[02:02] undecim: sould I be unmounting all the other stuff I mounted prior to hitting reset? [02:02] stianhj, doesnt seem to work as well i guess [02:02] hello all [02:02] scunizi: No, the reboot process takes care of all that. [02:02] !hi | joseAway [02:02] joseAway: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[02:04] godricbrutus: probably bzip2.. .7z might be even better tho [02:04] o, will install 7zip [02:04] undecim: AHRG! got the grub rescue prompt again.. would that mean that grub is probably on the wrong partition? [02:04] undecim: the boot loader that is? [02:04] scunizi: hmm.... [02:04] not the file we just created [02:05] onetinsoldier, thanks [02:05] godricbrutus: you're welcome. good luck :) [02:05] Where can I find documentation about installing Ubuntu from an SD card? [02:05] scunizi: Can you go back to the LiveCD, run that boot script again, and give me a paste bin of the complete output? [02:05] I don't have a CD drive [02:05] Guest18708: Are you using 10.04? [02:05] yeah [02:06] everytime I want to make a keypairing with a new host, do I have to run ssh-keygen, or can I use the same one for many servers? [02:06] Guest18708: Somebody correct me, but I don't think 10.04 has Sun JRE packages anymore? OpenJDK works fine.. [02:06] scunizi: Yeah, that may be the issue. If we just configured the grub on /dev/sdb and there is a grub on /dev/sda, sda will take precedence. [02:06] sun jre is in the partner repos now [02:06] Hello! Can you still do a cli install from the 10.04 alternative disc? I no longer find the option in the boot menu. Thanks! [02:07] stianhj: 10.04 does have sun-java6 available. you have to enable the 'partner' repo [02:07] undecim: brb.. phone [02:08] Odd-rationale: you mean like a server install? without the gui? === charlespito is now known as pitoow [02:08] Guest18708: Enable 'partner' repo.. or try OpenJDK.. [02:08] Odd-rationale: the alternate install cd only uses the cli for the actual install if I recall correctly [02:08] Hrm..... ls: cannot access /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/kbd.so: No such file or directory [02:09] Slart: yes. without a gui. [02:09] Odd-rationale: the alternate desktop install will do a text mode install, when the install is finished you'll end up with the regular desktop ubuntu ie with gnome and so on [02:09] undecim: back and starting the boot into the live cd.. [02:10] is there an option to copy settings over from other operating systems that are detected on the drive when installing/booting Lucid [02:10] Slart: well, it used to be on the boot option, you could select to use a cli install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Execute installation [02:10] stianhj, ok will give it a try thanks [02:10] i can't figure out why evince is closing off / graying out File > Properties > Print Setup and > Print .. the printer works ok from Open office docs [02:10] CaptainTrek, yea i think it asks you to in the installer. (never used it though) [02:11] Barridus: mmkay. what about switching the buttons from the left side to the right? [02:11] there is any howto to encrypt entire partition / ? [02:11] CaptainTrek: you can just change themes... or [02:11] !controls | CaptainTrek [02:11] CaptainTrek: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [02:11] Odd-rationale: I don't think you can do anything *other* than a text mode install with the alternate install cd.. have you actually tried it? [02:11] CaptainTrek, not sure if "minor" stuff like that transfers. should be easy enough to set up manually [02:11] Hi, I have plans on installing ubuntu on a laptop... what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 64 bit version? [02:12] killown: encrypting the entire partition is a bit of a headache, but it can be done with dm-crupt and LUKS [02:12] undecim: to give you an idea how the system is setup.. sdb has xp, both roots for ubuntu and kubuntu 10.04 and /home for kubuntu.. sda is entirely /home for ubuntu .. we're working on the kubuntu install.. I tried to update it last night but that failed because of some kernel mods in 9.10 and dkms messing with the new kernels. so I decided to fresh install reusing my old /home [02:12] Can i update my kernel from 2.6.31-14-generic to the 2.6.32.21-generic and still be in 9.10? if yes how please? [02:12] undecim ok [02:12] Slart: i don't mean a text-mode installation. I mean a minimum installation. No X. [02:12] killown: That should give you some keywords you can google for a tutorial if you want. [02:12] Hi, I have plans on installing ubuntu on a laptop... what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 64 bit version? [02:12] mcl0vin: you'd have to find a ppa for Karmic that has that version of kernel packaged for Karmic i think [02:13] Odd-rationale: then you're looking for the minimal install cd.. or a server install cd.. the difference between the alternate install and the regular install is just the install process.. the finished system is the same [02:13] !minimal | Odd-rationale [02:13] Odd-rationale: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:13] killown: It's dm-crypt, actually [02:13] undecim, vlt thanks [02:13] hello [02:13] Slart: Ok. I was just wondering whether they took out the option to do a minimum installation using the alternative disc as it used to be... [02:14] killown: And it's only one "cryptsetup" command. [02:14] undecim: ok.. I'm in the live cd [02:14] scunizi: Did you specify a different place to put the bootloader when you installed? [02:14] undecim: nope [02:14] mcl0vin: you can look around here to see if you can find one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [02:14] Odd-rationale: oh.. I have no idea about that.. I've always used the minimal install cd for doing that [02:14] Slart: ok. thanks! [02:14] Odd-rationale: you're welcome [02:14] undecim: I appriciate you sticking with me.. :) [02:15] scunizi: Alright. run that boot script again, and give me a pastebin of the entire output. [02:15] i'm assuming the "ubuntu-standard" package isn't really needed to keep, right? (i'm pruning some packages i'll never ever need and it pops up as also required to remove since some of the unused packages "depend" on it) [02:15] scunizi: np. I don't like to leave things unfinished. [02:15] Barridus: you mean ubuntu-desktop? [02:15] slart, no ubuntu-standard [02:15] !info ubuntu-standard [02:15] ubuntu-standard (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu standard system. In component main, is standard. Version 1.197 (lucid), package size 30 kB, installed size 60 kB [02:16] oh.. never noticed that one before.. [02:16] I'm in the live usb,looks good [02:16] Barridus: No, you don't need to worry about keeping it [02:16] i think it's like ubuntu-standard but not related to gnome (kubuntu and server also have it) [02:16] Barridus: That package does nothing but require packages [02:16] what command that bot use for that??? [02:16] err like ubuntu-desktop [02:16] it's probably similar to ubuntu-desktop.. in that case you don't really need it [02:16] Barridus: exactly like ubuntu-desktop, but with different packages [02:16] thanks Flannel an undecim [02:17] nfotec: !info [02:17] i won't be needing ppp, cron, etc. wanna get rid of stuff like that [02:17] onetinsoldier: thank you for your response ! [02:17] * mcl0vin reading [02:17] onetinsoldier: thanks i try it [02:17] Barridus: no cron? isn't that kind of .. vital? [02:17] * Guest18708 slaps you around with a large trout. [02:17] Slart, not if you use fcron (cron never worked for me so i ditched it) === pepee_ is now known as pepee [02:18] at least i don't think it's vital [02:18] Barridus: ahh.. I see.. [02:18] mcl0vin: sure, you're welcome. i'm not familiar with adding ppas. i once added the getdeb ppa and all i did was download a .deb for it that did everything for me automagically. good luck! :-) [02:18] Slart, ubuntu-standard is the only thing that gets removed with cron, so i assume that's the case? [02:19] undecim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/438594 [02:19] Barridus: it might be that fcron can replace cron.... when it comes to dependencies [02:20] scunizi: Alright, here's the problem. Grub on /dev/sda is looking for a non-existent partition... [02:20] yeah it doesn't seem to be related dependency-wise, Slart [02:20] undecim: where do you see that in the file.. [02:20] then again i'm sort of guessing here [02:20] onetinsoldier: am trying to learn it. i have been trying to get my remote control to work for the past 3 wees and hoping that if i did figure it out....to help others as well so that they don;t have to suffer what i did suffer from :) [02:21] scunizi: First few lines. "Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in [02:21] partition #5 for /boot/grub. [02:21] " [02:21] Hey the default webcam application doesn't recognize my webcam. :C [02:21] how do you delete entries in grub 2 [02:21] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [02:21] undecim: AH I see that.. how do we fix it? [02:22] removing cron did say "ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot". i think that's not actually indicative of a problem though [02:22] scunizi: Basically, we reinstall grub [02:22] It isn't recognizing it because the folder it's supposed to be in, I think video1 or something, isn't linking with the webcam... [02:22] mcl0vin: oh, i see. sounds painful. i hope you figure it out so that the time you've spent isn't all wasted! [02:22] Has anyone else ever had this problem? [02:22] undecim: undecim ok.. [02:23] scunizi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows would be the right page to follow (even though it mentions windows, it's the same principle) [02:23] onetinsoldier: and my child is 3 weeks old :) , didn't spend time with his as i did with lirc [02:23] :) [02:23] scunizi: In the livecd, mount the drive by opening it in a file browser. [02:24] undecim: I'm looking at the following about 75-80% down the page looks like 2 steps [02:24] undecim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD [02:25] mcl0vin: lol, well you better get to spending some time with him it sounds like :) [02:25] scunizi: Yeah, that link will do it. [02:25] reinstalling with the right root-directory option will make it look for the right partition. [02:27] how guys i am on ubuntu 9.04, how can i add lucid repos (what is the URL ?) ? i need the latest versions of software [02:28] Distrogasm, if you don't want to upgrade ubuntu itself, try adding backports (unsupported software) in the upgrade repositories settings [02:28] Distrogasm: to upgrade to Lucid, you would need to upgrade to 9.10 first with this command sudo update-manager -c ...i don't think just adding Lucid repos would work for you at all [02:28] undecim: will I need to chroot again to make the required kernel line edits? [02:28] keep in mind not everything is backported, you often need to upgrade ubuntu to get the latest everything [02:28] undecim: not sure if it's re-writing grub.cfg [02:29] Hi, I have plans on installing ubuntu on a laptop... what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 64 bit version? [02:29] Can anyone help with my question?? [02:29] undecim: yep.. it wiped out grub.cfg [02:30] CyL, the 64 bit will work faster on computers that support it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with 32-bit computers. [02:30] scunizi: Well, you should be able to chroot again, now that the MBR is fixed. [02:30] 32-bit works with all computers, but isn't as fast as 64-bit is on computers that support it. [02:30] brax: how about binary compatibility with older software? [02:30] !64bit [02:30] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [02:30] scunizi: Just put it back like it was [02:30] Now you've lost me, CyL. [02:30] hmmm i thought there'd be a thing on 32 vs 64 [02:31] undecim: I take that back.. I was looking a the live cd directories.. === fred_ is now known as Guest1209 [02:31] CyL, yeah like brax said it should be faster and more reponsive. but an additional dowside is not every non "officially supported" program on the repos may exist for 64 bit [02:31] CyL: thats what the /lib32 dir is for [02:31] scunizi: also, just to be sure, you put grub on /dev/sda, not sdb, right? [02:31] Sweet, I helped someone using advice that was correct. [02:31] undecim: yep.. starting reboot process now [02:31] CyL: yes. most 32-bit software will work in 64-bit installation. just install the ia32libs package [02:31] Now can someone help me please?? [02:31] :C === Guest1209 is now known as FredFlintstone [02:31] My webcam isn't detected. [02:31] Docteh: so I'd be able to run 32 bit binaries even with the 64 bit version?

[02:34] undecim: with grub 1 you could put it on multiple drives.. can you do that with grub2? [02:34] brax: lists things plugged into usb, usb is used internally for some things these days [02:34] Nope, isn't listed. [02:34] undecim: might be an issue with my boot order and what harddrive it looks at for boot in the bios [02:34] can any one help me fix some firefox plugin that will play microsoft media player compatible videos [02:34] brax: dv7-????

[02:35] scunizi: sorry, had been gone for a moment [02:35] brax: pastebin the output of lsusb [02:35] MichaelKohler you can enable Guest access [02:35] hi [02:35] undecim: did you catch my last post? [02:36] uLinux: how? [02:36] ah [02:36] scunizi: Well, your second hard drive should be booting properly. I'm guessing grub didn't reinstall right for your first hard drive. [02:36] Docteh: I don't think that will help with the information listed, but alright. [02:36] If you can set your second hard drive to boot in the BIOS, that would be the easiest fix [02:36] uLinux: but when I activate the Guest access checkbox I can't even see the shared folder because windows says it has no permission to access my ubuntu machine [02:36] i cant see my ntfs partition, can someone help?

[03:41] sitwon: just noticed it says: You will need a C++ compiler and the GTK 2.x libraries (any version above 2.4.0). [03:41] ajaj holla gerardo_ -- haz clic a #ubuntu-es y charla all´a [03:41] sitwon: but does it mean it is ONLY C++? [03:41] does anyone know how to change the default global copy/paste keyboard shortcuts? [03:42] gafir: looks to me like it's all C++ [03:42] gafir: that's perhaps a little misleading. a C++ compiler will compile both C and C++ almost always [03:42] anyone got a fix for the gwibber name lookup timeout issue? [03:42] jokecure: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 works well here on my 6150 onboard [03:42] k [03:43] find diab [03:43] sitewon onetinsoldier: hehe, quite tough -- So if I want to learn it, where should I start? a book about C++ or C? [03:43] gafir: C++ [03:43] sitwon: sounds good, any good book/resource advice? :-) [03:43] gafir: even what i said there isn't really exactly true. the Gnu C and C++ Compilers are separate, but, there really isn't a system that exists that doesn't have a C Compiler. unless you're talking about a Ti-89 Calculator or something of that nature [03:44] onetinsoldier: actually I've seen a C compiler for those [03:44] onetinsoldier: thanks for correcting it :-) Sounds good [03:44] sitwon: omg! incredible [03:45] Hello. I put in a DVD into my DVD drive. Ubuntu popped up CD/DVD Creator. I dragged a bunch of root-owned read-only files, and happily burned them to a DVD. Now, CD/DVD Creator is populated with a bunch of locked files that I cannot remove. How do I fix this? [03:45] gafir: yes... you will probably spend a lot of time to learn it i imagine, but yes. books, tutorials, ect [03:45] gafir: you might want to get a good IDE.. like 'codeblocks' [03:45] actionparsnip, will it work for a geforce ti4600? [03:45] What is the path for application icons? [03:45] gafir: http://www.learncpp.com/ http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-Special/dp/0201700735/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274669099&sr=8-4 [03:46] onetinsoldier: will look into this "codeblocks" [03:46] sitwon: twow, thanks for the links :-) [03:46] eclipse is a decent IDE too [03:46] sitwon: is the book your favourite? [03:46] gafir: anything like BabasChess for linux with network gaming? [03:46] nfotec: that's what eboard is [03:47] gafir: don't look like it [03:47] nfotec: you can also try "Jin" which is a Java Client [03:47] gafir: favorite? no. But it's the only intro C++ book I've actually read, and the author is something of an authority on the subject. [03:47] nfotec: well it's less advanced than babaschess unfortunately [03:47] gafir: go with C++ would be my recommendation. C is still used, but it's used for things like device drivers, not so much for apps anymore. C is very fast, but takes a lot more coding i think. it's a procedural language, where C++ is an Object Oriented language [03:47] IdleOne: /usr/share/icons/THEME/SIZE/apps/ ? [03:47] gafir: does it at least have chat? [03:47] pmitros : Just kill it. [03:47] nfotec: you can talk with command "say" or "tell user" or "shout" etc, but no chat per say [03:48] hey everyone : ) [03:48] crdlb: thanks I'll take a look [03:48] onetinsoldier/sitwon: many thanks for all the recommendations === jrcarr2 is now known as jamescarr [03:48] jokecure: you may want the 173 driver [03:48] gafir: the author's bio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjarne_Stroustrup [03:48] super: Kill what? I'm not finding an applicable process [03:48] anyone know if this will work for a geforce ti4600? sudo add-apt-repository:nvidia-vdpau/ppa; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [03:48] gafir: but C++ is a supset of C... even though it approach to programming is different. this means, it can do everything that C can [03:48] sitwon: thanks :-) [03:48] anyone have any ideas why my sound goes from minor crackle to major to system freeze ubuntu 10.04 full install [03:48] during games and music [03:48] gafir: well that good, babaschess is unreal good - hard to beat. [03:49] onetinsoldier: sounds good, will look into both before I dive in :-) [03:49] gafir: you're welcome.. good luck. i can send you some stuff if you want it. i have materials :-) [03:49] IdleOne: every app should install a fallback icon in hicolor, but it might be overridden by your icon theme [03:49] nfotec: that's why I want to learn C++, so that I can make a better chess app on linux :-) in 10 years haha [03:49] crdlb: I am making a custom launcher and I don't like the default icon it uses [03:49] gafir: because i thought about starting to learn it myself, but haven't yet dipped into it ;-) [03:49] gafir: if you have zero programming experience, I recommend you start here first http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6B940F08B9773B9F [03:49] Is there a Ubuntu 10 server edition for 32 bit processors? [03:49] don't learn c++ it's a waste of time. [03:49] onetinsoldier: we should start a C++ learning club [03:50] I think discussing programming languages is a bit offtopic for this channel [03:50] sitwon: I have experience programming php, and object-oriented actionscript 3.0 [03:50] jatt: why would say that? if you want to maintain appications written in c++ it's helpful to know the basics [03:50] gafir: hehe [03:50] gafir: i never graps the concept of lin app development using diff programs to build interface and text editor for code, seem so early 90's [03:50] sitwon: it's just C++ looks quite different overall, thanks for the link though [03:51] gafir: Richard Buckland's lectures are good for people with no formal programming training [03:51] crdlb: thanks for the help :) [03:51] gafir: but i am amazed how small those c++ linux programs actually are the source code i mean. [03:51] if you've already taken a class or two you can dive right in to C/C++ [03:51] does anyone know how to install nvidia drivers for a geforce ti4600? i keep getting an error message when i try to run the download [03:51] nfotec: well, check out codeblocks, it's a graphical Integrated Development Environment [03:52] nfotec: it combines all that into a gui [03:52] hi, I have a folder with a bunch of png files that I would like to copy to another folder with the same name and same filenames and overwrite them. Can I do this from the command line? I've tried cp but it's not actually moving any of them [03:52] * Flare-Laptop uses emacs [03:52] Oh. Got it. [03:52] nfotec/sitwon/onetinsoldier: Thanks again for all the links, recommendations, advice, and insights [03:52] gafir: you're welcome :) [03:52] is there something like kdevelop for GNOME? Thats what I used back in the days...or simply vim ;-) [03:52] nfotec: do you use Vim or Emacs? [03:53] onetinsoldier: will try it out, right now i'm trying to learn to use spe for simple python gafir - good luck with your project [03:53] anyone that can help with crackling sound eventually leading to a complete freeze :( [03:53] good night [03:53] gafir: btw, i typo'd earlier supset = superset [03:53] what is x window system (no xv) option? [03:53] I'm trying to get the compose key to work with Konversation. this app is the one app I use from kde :) I followed the isntructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey -- except not the kde system settings part because I dont have the whole kde wm installed. [03:54] now not only do I not get the compose key, but my dead keys aren't dead any more :P ´a would have come out as á in gedit [03:54] Docolero: kde development is easier i think, dat why we so much kde stuff? [03:54] nfotec / onetinsoldier / sitwon: thanks! [03:54] only in konversation is this the problem, the configuration worked for every other app on my system [03:54] xomp: hello, anyone helped you yet? [03:54] gafir: np [03:55] nfotec: Qt and GTK apps work just fine in BOTH Gnome and KDE. There is no reason to ONLY use GTK with Gnome or Qt with KDE. [03:56] onetinsoldier, no sir, I tried but I get the error "are the same file [03:56] " all the time [03:56] you shouldn't chose the your widget toolkit based on your desktop environment [03:56] sitwon: this introductory course looks really interesting though, thanks: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6B940F08B9773B9F [03:56] xomp: are you wanting to move the files? or just copy over with an overwrite? [03:56] sitwon: i agree, also wx widgets look good to me but windowish [03:56] copy with an overwrite [03:57] xomp: ok, use --> cp -fv [03:57] nfotec, i used kdevelop for a server component, so no KDE stuff was involved. It was just easier to switch from visual studio to kdevelop than e.g. directly to vi [03:57] Docoler_: brb... [03:57] xomp: the -f is for 'force', -v is verbose [03:58] Docolero_: Eclipse? Code::Blocks? [03:58] where was that list of favorites stored again (for nautilus) i accidently removed a wrong location, and now i cant re-add it...dragging and dropping is not working [03:58] onetinsoldier, thanks :) [03:58] xomp: you can read the manual for the command with... man cp [03:58] how to change terminal encoding for a single session? [03:58] xomp: you're welcome :) [03:58] how does kubuntu compares with ubuntu (plus and minuses)? [03:58] what s up [03:59] Zelozelos: ~/.gtk-bookmarks [03:59] sitwon, eclipse i didn't like, but ill give codeblocks a try [03:59] ty crdlb [03:59] CyL, a minus: KDE [03:59] CyL, everything else is the same [03:59] does ubuntu spend less energy/battery than windows or others OSs? [03:59] thanks for the help [03:59] i want to know if anyone has tested ubuntu 10.04 on older computers does it run better than 9.10 [03:59] Docolero_: i am amazed at this qt? app how little code there actually is: http://freshmeat.net/projects/ah3 [03:59] drizzt_: why is it a minus? [03:59] kzman, it depends on OEM [04:00] question, I am trying to edit my appearance settings for a certain theme, and every time I change the color of the windows background the change doesn't take effect, why? [04:00] versions after 8.04 run crap on my computer [04:00] nfotec: you know Qt is not just a widget toolkit, it's a full build system [04:00] CyL, because it's ugly, resource-hungry, buggy and incompatible with LSB technologies [04:00] crdlb, umm, whats the full path? [04:00] lsb? [04:01] nfotec: at build-time it runs a bunch of macros to generate tons of code before passing it to the compiler [04:01] Hello good nights!!! [04:01] hellp anyideas please [04:01] sitwon: you talk me into it, should i apt-get kdevelop or something else [04:01] can anyone help with crackling sound : ) [04:01] Zelozelos: ~/ is expanded by the shell to your home directory [04:01] I've never used kdevelop so I don't know [04:01] Zelozelos: ie /home/USERNAME/ [04:02] ahh, ty [04:02] hi folks! for some reason i dont hear any audio on my t61 laptop . already tried restarting alsa-utils. checked that it wasnt muted. ideas?

[04:02] sitwon: codeblocks free?

[04:03] nfotec: http://www.codeblocks.org/ [04:03] arooni-mobile, ubuntu 10.04 isn't controlled by alsa anymore [04:03] nfotec: yep.. it's free open source software [04:03] meowbuntu : versions after 8.04 run crap on your computer | 10.04 don't even stand a chance.

[05:21] drizzt_: ok, so are you trying to use this for a script or something? Is that why you need the IP itself? [05:21] ShadowApex: that did the trick... I hate to push it but is there a way to also feed in a "new page" operator (is there even such a thing?) between files? the idea is that I have an entire project that I want to dump to print, line numbers would be nice and a new page for each file will make a world of difference...

What's the problem? [05:26] onetinsoldier: take your time, thanks. [05:26] mkjackson: What do you mean by "new page"? Do you mean any arbitrary line to separate the files? [05:26] I just downloaded teh Ubuntu 10.04 onto a flash drive. I have done the hash check but only on windows. Would you please direct me to a page to do it in linux. [05:27] Appl6: not really a problem but I'm basically trying to take this java project I've been studying and dump it down to text. to lessen the page count I want to print the project 4 pages to a side, double sided but if I do it one job at a time then I will be getting alot of single pages as a little square and nothing anywhere else (making the attempt moot) [05:28] NEW PAGE means eject the sheet of paper and start on a new sheet.

[05:37] tripelb: sha1sum -c filename [05:37] linux: if you download with a TORRENT instead of using HTTP, then you CAN pause it. [05:37] great! [05:37] tripelb: you can't verify a flash drive install against the checksums for an ISO image, because the flash drive uses a different filesystem. You can make sure the ISO downloaded correctly using the md5sum though [05:37] tripelb, you can pause http also [05:37] how to change the stuff printed before 'login:' ?

[05:39] cool, is there some manual what these \codes mean? [05:40] linux: Do you have the Downloads window open in Firefox? There should be a Pause button just to the left of the X in the red circle.

Right click the download and click "Copy Download Link".

[05:43] Hello Everybody [05:43] Good Morning [05:43] linux: You'll need to be in the directory with the partially downloaded file, and you'll have to rename the .part file so that it ends in .iso, not .iso.part.

[05:44] Even in linux in general [05:44] ill try to download some different file and see [05:45] drizzt_: /etc/motd.tail and /etc/motd are the files to edit. === Amaranth is now known as c [05:45] how to know my terminal name? I've check environment and its not there [05:45] I have bunch of gmail accounts to keep a tab. [05:45] How do I reset "session autostart programs" to the default? I've removed some of them but now realised I need them.

[05:46] wad, yes [05:47] yes, that's it [05:47] Appl6, hay i downloaded 4.5 mb .php file and it is supperting resume [05:48] So, I think I might be screwed. On this dual-boot box (Win XP pro and Ubuntu) I upgraded to 10.04. It asked me something about partitions, for grub. I must have answered the question wrong, because XP would no longer boot. I think I over-wrote the Windows boot manager or something. So I repaired it, and now I can't boot at all! [05:48] I'm running this from the Ubuntu disk, live CD. [05:48] that's an ouch [05:49] Anyone here know how to repair grub from the command line, from a live-CD session? === linux is now known as fox [05:49] hi [05:49] al [05:49] !grub2 | wad follow the link [05:49] wad follow the link: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:50] Okay, I'm severely crippled right now. Can hardly see anything on my screen, my resolution is all messed up.

[05:52] MPX, the upgrade of Ubuntu on this dual-boot box nuked everything. Can't boot to the hard drive any more. [05:53] What does it say? [05:53] You enter grub after you've started your pc...Do you see ubuntu there? [05:53] Or does nothing show at all? [05:54] MPX: Grub only worked for the linux boot. Windows would just go to a blank screen. I think I chose poorly when it asked something about grub during the install. [05:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [05:54] hey guys, i would just like to let you know, the package for installing grub-doc is currently set up to remove grub and grub-common, might want to fix that [05:54] Anyone here installed Ubuntu on the HP mini 1000? [05:54] MPX, so I figured grub had over-written the Windows boot sector. So I booted to Windows install disk, did a repair, and did "fixmbr". Now nothign boots at all! Running xchat from the Ubuntu install disk now. :( [05:55] I can only find a wifi workaround for the previous release [05:55] i have problem with installation xp,mac os and windows 7 i have ubuntu plz help [05:55] Or here wad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [05:55] Wad: It seems that your windows install is eff'ed up if you ask me [05:55] Not grub's fault [05:55] fox what is your problem [05:55] Wad: Windows XP, vista or 7? [05:55] MPX, XP pro [05:56] xnox, now let me explain u [05:56] did you try a fixboot? [05:56] I'm not sure if that command works in XP [05:56] You could try [05:56] (I'm having a really hard time seeing what people are typing, because the video resolution is messed up when I boot to the install disk. Sorry if I miss stuff!) [05:56] I can only see a dozen lines of text in this chat window.

[05:57] *point [05:57] histo, Can someone help me out? I downloaded a dockbar appalet but for some reason it dosent appear when I click 'add to pannel' How can I first find the appalet to add it to the dockbar (The appalet is called MintMenu. I made a custom app launcher with the command "mintmenu" it launches a new window and the menu bar is inside the window ) [05:57] hello* [05:57] so like, i was going to install grub-doc, and apt-get told me that it was goign to remove grub and grub-common. Im fairly sure thats a screwup with package configuration at the repositories, and i suggest you guys fix that before some poor sap installs it and ruins their bootloader [05:57] This system has two hard drives. Windows on the first one, linux on the second. [05:57] ok.. what repo is sun-java in? I enabled the partners repo but don't see it there either. [05:58] So are there two MBRs, or just one? [05:58] wad: Might be two [05:58] Try booting from your second. Set option in bios if you have it [05:58] wad, bios seems only first one, unless configured otherwise [05:58] waan, one [05:58] nvm [05:58] So, where does grub live in the MBR? [05:59] wad, on hd0 if you haven't use BIOS boot menu [05:59] wad, not necessary [05:59] Both drives are SATA. sda and sdb. [05:59] wad: it lives *in* the MBR [05:59] sda = windows, sdb = linux [05:59] Izinucs, okay. The MBR on the first drive, I take it? [05:59] tj1234, I tried selecting grub-doc in packages [05:59] what happens when you boot? [05:59] No problem [06:00] drizzt_, after the post, it just hangs. No message. [06:00] weird, it attempts to remove my stuff [06:00] I got two boot managers...heh...one on sda and one on sdb [06:00] wad: whatever the boot drive is.. that's why it's call the master boot record.. could be sda or sdb .. you can also install in both locations just in case [06:00] Izinucs, ah, okay! [06:00] I think it's just the one on sda then. [06:01] xnox, i have hdd with 2 partition primary ntfs containing only files and other where ubuntu is install now when i formated the ubuntu part with ntfs and try to install xp it just copied file and when it restarted it stoped and for mac os an error happened restart ur computer it did not installed [06:01] Is it in a partition? Or elsewhere on the drive? [06:01] it's located on 1st block [06:01] usually [06:01] wad, it's in mbr and adjacent sectors === jesse is now known as Guest2613 [06:01] fox: how is this a Ubuntu problem? [06:01] fox, where is you Mac OS X? [06:02] drizzt_, okay, thanks, that helps. [06:02] wad: could be or could be like me today.. depending on boot order sda might be considered sdb and your bios. so for me I put it on sda and had to change the boot order of the drives to get it to work === duncan is now known as theletterd [06:02] I checked fdisk, it's correct. [06:02] very recently a video link that has been working is no longer working on ubunto can anyone come up with a soln [06:02] sda = 1TB, sdb = 500GB [06:02] fox, And it looks like you need bootcamp support not ubuntu support.... since you have wiped it [06:03] I think what I need to do is re-create the MBR, and reinstall grub into it? [06:03] no just restore grub [06:03] MPX: running apt-get install grub-doc -s comes up with the results of Remv grub; Remv grub-common; Inst grub-doc; Conf grub-doc [06:03] jklægh [06:03] i mean update === noel is now known as Guest32024 [06:03] !ping [06:03] pong [06:03] yes or no.......i will keep searching myself.

Can you please break it up into small sentences? [06:04] oh right, im running 9.10, that might do it [06:04] allividdi: you can conect to msn with a lot of instant messengers; empathy comes in ubuntu by default [06:05] but still, why make the actual programs dependencies, if you are just getting documentation? [06:05] ey switched from ubuntu to xunbutu how do I run "untrusted" program if i can't edit the permissions? [06:05] because its trying to remove the same program im trying to get concise documentation for [06:05] WINE [06:06] yee but the webcam dosent work with aMSN,emesen and ol that [06:06] How do you make a program an appalet? for example I have a menu mintmenu.py that I want to use as a dockbar appalet [06:08] I'm using the liveCD and want to listen to an MP3 radio station (http://somafm.com/play/suburbsofgoa) -- how can I do that? Movie player told me it doesnt know how to play an mp3. [06:08] xnox, bastidrazor the primary partition is responsible fo boot pc see primary partition first to boot and the ubuntu boot loader must be in that so whenever i try to install new os it interfere with it, i tried to remove those file from primary partition from disk utility making secondary partition as bootable but still not working [06:08] how can i install QT for development perl program?

[06:24] i have got many help today here [06:24] anybody know how I can make apache to parse php files instead of sending them to download? [06:24] sharat87, apt-get install php5 ? [06:25] ok [06:25] sharat87, sounds like you don't have php installed. :) [06:25] When I try to boot into ubuntu, it gives me an nvidia driver issue, and when I click ok, it gives me an ICEauthority error. [06:25] the *, u are right.. where did php go.. uninstalled in the process of upgrade from karmic? [06:26] So, after my Ubuntu upgrade, I now have no way to boot to Windows on this machine. The grub menu item is there, but when I choose it, I just get a blank screen. Any suggestions? [06:26] wad, no still it downloads stuff :( [06:27] wad: might've killed the windows boot loader if its Vista or 7 [06:27] oznt: texi2html [06:27] It's Win XP pro. [06:27] anyone want to see a really cool linux weather app? it's called 'aweather'. i jumped through a lot of hoops and a lot of work to figure out how to get it to compile in lucid. these were supposed to be for greezmunkey but he had a 'ping timeout' and i don't want them to go to waste! :-) [06:27] So, I'm a tad confused. Grub lives in the MBR on /dev/sda. I've got Windows on sda, and linux on sdb. Where does the Windows boot loader live, if grub is on /dev/sda's MBR? [06:28] onetinsoldier, I just tried it, it sucks [06:28] http://imagebin.org/98111 http://imagebin.org/98112 http://imagebin.org/98113 [06:28] Problem: sudo chown yourusername ~/.ICEauthority [06:28] wad: windows bootloader was on sda [06:28] wad: no clue why it doesnt work unfortunately [06:28] Problem: then run, sudo chmod 644 -R ~/.ICEauthority [06:29] poutine_: you don't like it? how come? i think it's really cool! it's pretty unstable right now. did you have the full RSL radar support? [06:29] CaptainTrek, so the Windows boot load and grub both co-habit the MBR on sda? That seems odd. [06:29] onetinsoldier, heh, I was spouting disinformation, but you sound like you have some stake in it [06:29] wad: The Windows bootloader is on the Windows partition. GRUB boots Windows by jumping into Windows' bootloader on its partition. [06:30] poutine_: lol, roger. i was going to ask where did you get it? because man, was it hard to get it to compile. in fact, i dare anyone to get it to compile on lucid, hehe [06:30] Appl6, ah, so the Windows bootload is actually on /dev/sda1 then. [06:30] wad: When you're at the grub prompt, edit the Windows entry and pastebin it. Or, just pastebin your grub configuration file. [06:30] Appl6, sure! 1 sec. [06:30] So ubuntu light is ubuntu netbook? [06:32] Appl6, http://pastebin.com/H4hwDNZx [06:32] Problem: then restart your session [06:33] wad: Looking.

[07:03] abuayyoub, ahh ok [07:03] yeah, i'm aware of that part. [07:04] NimbleRabit: named pipes are only applicable _within_ the same host [07:04] sunson, oh okay that's what I was afraid of. I don't think there's any way for me to do this then [07:04] NimbleRabit: if you're specific about having a _file_ on the remote machine (i see no reason why you need a file for this specific application), then you can use ssh [07:05] the application writes out to a file and I'm not experienced enough to change it is all [07:05] NimbleRabit: on m1: cat file | ssh remotehost 'mencoder blah' will solve the problem actually [07:05] you just need to setup passphraseless ssh [07:05] k I have that setup already, thanks === Ariel is now known as Guest95910 [07:05] NimbleRabit: simpler setup is to use nc [07:05] Alright here is the deal, I had to repair the power board in my laptop. I missed marking the wifi antenna and need to know if they can go either way [07:06] abuayyoub, see if this works: http://rapidshare.com/files/390935646/skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_amd64.deb.html [07:06] Heyeveryone, I just installed UNE 10.4 on my HP mini 1116nr. Wifi isn't working. No ethernet to get packages. Ideas? [07:07] lyrae, you won't believe if I tell you Rapidshare is blocked as well haha [07:07] how can get path i bash file that executed ? [07:07] in bash command? [07:07] oh man [07:07] lol [07:07] Guest95910: manually download packages to usb and manually install [07:07] NimbleRabit: you could still hack around if you can tell your app to write to _some other file_ [07:08] NimbleRabit: which could be /dev/stdout ;) [07:08] I'm having a problem with Gwibber and Twitter. It doesn't show my whole timeline, only replies directed @ me [07:08] abuayyoub, is this blocked for you: http://www.4shared.com/ [07:08] lyrae, do you know of any programs like hotspot shielf for linux? [07:08] Docteh: I don't know where to get the packages. Point me to the right directoin? [07:09] lyrae, 4shared works [07:09] Guest95910: packages.ubuntu.com [07:09] hello, my browser tries to download php files instead of displaying them.. if the php files are in my public_html and accessed through mod_rewrite.. otherwise, they work fine.. [07:09] what am I missing? [07:09] Guest95910: you can also copy the files directly into /var/cache/apt/archives and run apt-get install the list of needed packages [07:10] abuayyoub, http://www.4shared.com/file/tSYVlqG-/skype-ubuntu-intrepid_21081-1_.html [07:10] hey with an eeepc with 512mb of ram should i install firefox or chromium? [07:10] sharat87: config your web server to treat php as php [07:10] Docteh: Chromium imo [07:10] sharat87: has nothing to do with your browser [07:10] lyrae, thank you man it's downloading. I appreciate it. [07:10] sunson: ok, how do I do that? [07:11] hello. I tried add something to PATH in .pam_environment (per Ubuntu environment variables page), but it gets added twice. How to prevent this? PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:/mypath/ [07:11] yes, i know that.. but apache is parsing php if they are put in /var/www [07:11] sunson: but is sending as a static file if through mod_rewrite.. [07:11] Anyone know anything about freenet? [07:12] Docteh: Chromium have eeepc,firefox is heavy. [07:12] abuayyoub, no prob [07:12] !freenet [07:12] how can i get full path i bash command line that executed ??\ [07:12] sharat87: how did you install php? cgi? mod_php? [07:12] <__taco> hi, every body, Is Network-manager conflict with pppoeconf? when I start up pppoeconf and reboot, the icon of nm in notification disappear . what is matter with it? [07:12] some body help me [07:12] Docteh: I don't know which packages I'm missing that I need to get. Want me to give you the lspci [07:12] lshw -c network [07:12] iwconfig? [07:12] sweb: you mean access full path to your script from inside the script? [07:12] Docteh: sudo apt-get install php5-common php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-cgi php5-mysql [07:13] sunson, yes [07:13] after trying to troubleshoot my installation with tasksel.. [07:13] sweb: path=`which $0` [07:13] sunson, always sweet answer, thank [07:13] but that works only if your script isn't aliases [07:13] sharat87: check in /etc/apache2/modules_enabled and see if php is listed [07:13] for example, if your script is called do_something.sh and someone created an alias called 'ds', then this won't work [07:14] Docteh: his php is getting interpreted. his problem is when he gets to the PHP via a mod_rewrite [07:14] Does anyone actually use .pam_environment to set their environment variables as the Ubuntu documentation recommends? [07:14] yes, php5.load and php5.conf are both there.. [07:14] sunson: how he's doing php determines how to make it work after a rewrite [07:15] no suggestions? [07:15] ooh ok, wait.. it is not mod_rewrite.. it is mod_userdir... [07:15] that's the one that goes into public_html right..? [07:15] sharat87: gah [07:15] how do you install a jnlp file? [07:15] slap my face! [07:15] Guest95910: i usually google pci ids [07:16] does mod_userdir keep any configs for itself somewhere? [07:16] sharat87: there is #php and #httpd just FYI [07:17] !lamp [07:17] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:17] histo: i am thinking this is a ubuntu specific one.. as it was working fine before my lucid upgrade [07:17] After losing all hope in ubuntu, I shall give one more shot to 10.04 in the form of an attempted alternate install. [07:18] sunson, how can i get basename for `which $0` result [07:18] ? [07:18] sweb: ? pls rephrase [07:18] hi, is there anyone who used pynotify/notify-osd/python-notify with python on ubuntu who could help me there ? [07:19] sweb: all bash scripts use the dirs in $PATH [07:19] Hey everyone. [07:20] moetunes: that's one of the many absurd thing I've heard about bash. what do you mean by "all bash scripts use the dirs in $PATH"? [07:21] $PATH is used by bash, yes - whenever one tries to execute a command it looks through in the PATH order. [07:21] it is transparent to your script... and by the time your script is already running, it is irrelevant :) [07:22] sunson: why comment at all? - not talking to you [07:23] moetunes: this is a public forum. anyone is free to correct mistakes [07:23] sunson: what was wrong? - and tell him not me pls... [07:23] gah [07:24] so we have apt-get, aptitude and now tasksel. why 3 [07:24] lyrae: each has different features [07:24] but very similar, no/ [07:25] yo yo yo [07:25] lyrae: aptitude and apt-get - yes, arguably similar on many ground. tasksel? no - quite different. [07:25] SOS [07:25] i need help [07:25] ok, i tried to (re?) enable my userdir module, and it said a real file exists and not touching it.. i removed the real files and re-enabled it.. all seemed happy and well.. but still apache sends php files as a download [07:25] !ask | Titus [07:25] Titus: 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. :-) [07:26] does anyone know the command line instructions to installing Bastard [07:26] !info bastard [07:26] Package bastard does not exist in lucid [07:26] sunson, okay well editing the program is a bit above me, but thanks for the cat file | ssh machine2 'do stuff here' tip. One question, I'll need a way to make that keep getting everything in my local pipe continuously right? Would tail -f do the job, or am I way off base here? Sorry if I'm bothering you. [07:27] ubuntu is for noobs. discuss. [07:27] why? [07:27] Titus: is it a binary decompiler? [07:27] real men use debian [07:27] hello world [07:27] sean_: no, it's offtopic here. #ubuntu-offtopic will gladly fill you in [07:27] Yes [07:27] what if youre a girl like me? [07:27] NimbleRabit: not edit the program - do a --help and see if it supports outputting to some other file. Then you can run the program as (on m1): prg --outfile /dev/stdout | ssh m2 mencoder blah blah [07:27] good thing i dont use deb [07:27] hi Titus [07:28] NimbleRabit: and it will get "everything" that is coming from the first command [07:28] lyrae, Good one! [07:28] sunson: need help [07:28] Hello jengc0il [07:28] haha yeah [07:28] Titus: where r u now [07:28] just kidding though. i'm not a female [07:28] sunson, OHHHHH [07:28] sunson, I understand you now. Sorry I'm a bit out of my element, but that makes sense. I'll see if I can get that working, thanks. [07:29] Titus: i found the (ironic) source :) [07:29] well sitting in front of my computer [07:29] lyrae, you are now! until u change your name here [07:29] NimbleRabit: simplest example: cat /etc/passwd | ssh m2 'cat >/tmp/his_passwd' [07:29] =D i can be both [07:29] ActionParsnip please give me the location [07:30] Titus: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bastard/bastard_bin-0.16.tgz [07:30] Titus: I believe the bin folder there contains precompiled binarys [07:31] Titus: :D [07:31] ssh lyrae touch /dev/genitals ;) [07:31] * jengc0il live from my class [07:31] sunson: That's not appropriate [07:31] haha [07:31] Thankx ap [07:31] also unimaginative :-/ [07:32] sunson, Baddd LOL [07:32] anyone got wine+dx9+.net going on their ubuntu install here? [07:32] seems it was a good idea to put sunson on ignore... [07:32] moetunes: haha. because I pointed out a mistake in what you said? [07:32] sunson, can not be ignored! [07:33] sunson, see what you did you scared Lyrae away [07:33] heh [07:34] * sunson is still looking for a recommendation on a good graphics tablet that works (flawlessly) with 9.10 [07:34] hey wtf my close, minimize, max icons moved [07:34] cryptide, stop drinking? [07:34] cryptide: in 10.04 they default to the left side, yes. [07:35] ok, i am done debugging mod_userdir.. how do I make apache follow symlinks? [07:35] i dig the new icons everywhere... but damn this is kinda whack [07:35] can i move em back? [07:36] cryptide, easy fix if you want [07:36] !controls | cryptide [07:36] cryptide: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [07:36] any one here work from home by using a ubuntu setup?? [07:36] openmindj: i am right now (supposed to be) WFH'ing :D [07:36] so are they better off on the left hand side? [07:37] lol :) [07:37] cryptide: switch your window manager if its a big issue. [07:37] cryptide, I like them where they were before and that's where I put them [07:37] I don't run KDE / GNOME or any of the 2GB large bloated WMs [07:38] sunson: Please help this channel remain ontopic, thanks. [07:38] what type of work do you do @ sunson? [07:38] cryptide: We're still not sure. Canonical claims they are. You can easily move them back though [07:38] Flannel: okay. didn't know that was OT. sorry about that. [07:38] how can i off output command in bash command line ?] [07:38] sweb: stty -echo [07:39] Flannel, thanks [07:39] sweb: that "offs" what you type. to "off" the output, you could just append >/dev/null to the command line [07:41] sunson, i'm a command in my bash file that have a output how can i ignore output ? [07:42] does any one here know how to compile Bristol with jack support? [07:42] for example rm that send output 'rm: cannot remove `/this/is/my/path/*': No such file or directory' [07:42] sweb: thats stderr [07:43] sweb: so append 2>/dev/null to the end of the command [07:43] sweb: in the above "rm" context, though, you're better off doing rm -f /this/is/my/path/* [07:44] sweb: but beware of the side-effects of using -f! [07:44] I want to buy this: hauppauge pctv nanoStick solo 73e SE, has anyone used it with ubuntu, does it work?

[07:51] thanks drizzt_ [07:51] CaptainTrek: hey [07:51] bobbyyu: installing packages via the internet is that bad? [07:52] Yes, it is. [07:52] alejandro: okay lemme load up Synaptic [07:52] CaptainTrek: k [07:52] I prefer everything from the disc. [07:52] bobbyyu: But, you can just download GIMP debs from Internet, and keep them in a Pendrive or DVD, and then use it to install GIMP on any machine running Ubuntu. [07:52] At least the basic stuff I need. [07:53] alejandro: Flash as in the thing that lets you play flash games online and watch youtube and stuff right? [07:53] to be sure [07:53] bobbyyu: Also, if you wish to make your own flavour of Ubuntu, use Remastersys or UCK, [07:53] CaptainTrek: yes [07:53] rocket16: Good idea [07:53] bobbyyu: Thanks, :) My pleasure [07:53] alejandro: the package you'll need is flashplugin-installer [07:53] hey ppl [07:54] Hello goku12205 [07:54] just go to adobe website and download it [07:54] it says i already installed it [07:54] alejandro: did you restart Firefox?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:55] yes [07:55] goku12205: bridge the vm to the network [07:55] goku12205, with the bat? [07:55] Anyone in here messed around with the way ubuntu uses ram? Or maybe can point me in the direction of someone who has. I'm still learning Linux and don't feel comfortable going to Gentoo yet. [07:55] alejandro: Lucid right? [07:56] CaptainTrek: yep [07:56] hi, how can i fix the sound problem on my sony vaio vpceb11fm, it has no sound, if i plug in headphones it sounds very low, i entered to alsamixer through the console and maxed everything but still no sound :/ [07:56] alejandro: check Synaptic for... um... hangon [07:56] why no-one cares about universe packages in Ubuntu? [07:56] Can there be any Laptop edition of Ubuntu in future? I suppose, we need a collection of Laptop-Tools for Ubuntu, like laptop-mode-tools and more, bundled to make Laptops work efficiently, although the default one runs pretty well. [07:57] i'm trying to learn how to get open shell's over networks, any advice? [07:57] alejandro: 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu [07:57] peyton_westlake: what sort of memory usage? the ureadahead memory thing? [07:57] goku12205: Use Secure-Shell SSH, for Shell Networks. [07:58] 32 [07:58] goku12205: And, you can download nautilus-open-terminal extension, and enter into networks, and right click and select open terminal here. [07:58] is there other way's to open remote shell's, like using an exploit and shellcode? idk im confused? [07:58] Is there a channel talking about hardware? [07:58] CaptainTrek: i think i just have to remove it and re install [07:59] alejandro: right click and hit completely remove [07:59] on the package in synaptic [07:59] Docteh: well, I have two older computers, and they bog down fairly easy. One is maxed out at 512 mb and the other is at 768mb with a max of 1gb. [07:59] ouyes: As far as the hardware issue is related to Ubuntu, you are welcome to discuss here. [07:59] goku12205: pwning noobs is kind of off topic [07:59] CaptainTrek: sudo aptitude remove flashplugin-installer [07:59] goku12205, actual exploits cost large money, no-one will give them out for free [08:00] alejandro: that works [08:00] or [08:00] then i'll just create my own [08:00] alejandro: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer [08:00] you could do either of those [08:00] CaptainTrek: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid [08:00] Is there any forkbomb scanner? [08:01] * CaptainTrek still uses sudo apt-get xD [08:01] peyton_westlake: you could give xfce4 a go if you haven't already [08:02] xfce4 takes as much memory as gnome [08:02] o [08:02] CaptainTrek: brb [08:02] k [08:02] that sucks [08:02] is the book shellcoders handbook anygood? [08:02] who reads books? [08:03] drizzt_: it doesn't - xubuntu uses as much memory as ubuntu these days - xfce is still light [08:03] alot of people actually [08:03] Docteh: Oh, I have, and didn't notice much if any difference. Thanks for pointing out ureadahead though. Interesting stuff! [08:03] hello every one here .i 'm actually a newbie on ubuntu and irc. everytime i log on to some channel .the xchat would exit automatically some time later. what's wrong ?could anyone tell me ,THX! [08:04] sunson, I did it with nc =D [08:04] NimbleRabit: :) cool [08:04] any help on buffer overflows or stack overflows [08:04] sunson, very slick. Thanks a lot for all your help. It turns out stdout was what I needed to learn about [08:04] !hack [08:04] !hackers [08:04] rocket16, yes it is, people is mad at chasing the speed of the hardware, they change their laptops and PCs as soon as Intel or AMD releases a new CPU and platform, do we really need that fast to run our system? does ubuntu 10.04 need a better performance cpu to run smoothly than old version such as 8.04 ? [08:05] ouyes, yes, because of bloat [08:05] Docteh,? [08:05] drizzt_, bloat? where? [08:05] Hi, I am trying to install the m68hc1x development toolchain on 10.04 but I can't find the pkg... Are they removing some pkgs? [08:05] icewm and xterm aren't bloated yet :) [08:06] drizzt_, cloud? [08:06] in kernel... in userland.. everywhere [08:06] whats that anti-thesis to Moore's law? it goes something like "software bloat keeps the usable speed of computers constant even though CPU speed doubles according to Moore's law" [08:07] no, our perception of speed changes as time goes on [08:07] Kernel Hacking? [08:07] get lost [08:07] ouyes: Not required so much, because default Ubuntu running Gnome needs a minimum of 384 MB RAM to run properly, while Kubuntu running KDE needs 512 MB. Also, Ubuntu has lighter versions like Lubuntu and Xubuntu, which have much less System requirements. So, I personally don't feel so that we need to upgrade the Systems again and again. Better to do that in a Systematic way like once in 8 monthes. [08:07] drizzt_, rocket16 as far as I know , all the Unix system take up to 2% market share in the personal computer.

India too, has made great progress in Linux, with the advocacy of FSF [08:49] Easiertoread_: it gives you a rollback option [08:49] gnome-panel has corrupted, basically.

It is your monitor resolution settings. [09:17] ubottu although I sucessfully install using the alternative CD, the kernal doesn't get installed. I think there is a problem between my motherboards harddrive controller and ubuntu [09:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:17] <__taco> hi, every body, Is Network-manager conflict with pppoeconf? when I start up pppoeconf and reboot, the icon of nm in notification disappear . what is matter with it? [09:18] moetunes: Did it with a normal 10.04 cd wouldnt start the installer same thing. An alternate cd install works all the way, first reboot get this problem. Also did it with a 9.10 install upgraded to 10.04 after reboot. [09:18] i wanna add new protocol in pedgin like yahoo,gtalk, i like to add nimbuzz how can i do that [09:18] maelaian: is it old h/ware you're using? [09:18] Maelaian, also I installed Kubuntu and the drivers were just right for that particular setup. [09:19] moetunes: no. q6600 asus p35-ds3l mobo nvidia 9800 gtx [09:19] hi. say, i've got a problem. the "jockey" hardware-drivers thing says i have nvidia installed and activated. great. but, when ubuntu starts it says that it can't find the nvidia module, and so i have to restart the x-server to get things going. also, if i tried to enable compiz visual effects, it doesn't recognize any driver at all, and tries to download and install nvidia all over again, except it fails. what can i possibly do??? [09:19] what does osx have thats comparable to wine [09:19] It is a hardware issue. [09:20] i wanna add new protocol in pedgin like yahoo,gtalk, i like to add nimbuzz how can i do that [09:20] Curly_Q: might be but it worked fine in 9.10 and previous ubuntus, never had a problem before. and xterm session works. [09:20] is it possible to boot a thin client from a wireless wpa2 network ? [09:20] Maelaian, you just figured it out. The latest install does not have the same drivers. [09:21] Curly_Q: So what do I do. [09:21] hi all i have a problem?will u guys help [09:21] Go back to what works and just upgrade that version of Ubuntu which will have the drivers you need. [09:22] Curly_Q: The upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 resulted in the same problem on reboot. [09:22] Try an apt-get to update the kernel. [09:22] is it possible to see if a directory is mounted on another filesystem (in this case with sshfs) and wait for it to unmount in a bash script? [09:22] At least the known working drivers will still be on your system. [09:23] hi. say, i've got a problem. the "jockey" hardware-drivers thing says i have nvidia installed and activated. great. but, when ubuntu starts it says that it can't find the nvidia module, and so i have to restart the x-server to get things going. also, if i tried to enable compiz visual effects, it doesn't recognize any driver at all, and tries to download and install nvidia all over again, except it fails. what can i possibly do??? [09:23] I am trying to compile my c++ programs, they are giving weird errors [09:24] Is it possible to boot lucid from an existing grub1 installation from a different partition? [09:24] Maelaian, you may have to slave the drive and add manually the drivers. [09:24] Curly_Q: Slave what drive? [09:24] Slave the hard drive. [09:25] Curly_Q: What drivers are possibly missing? [09:25] shanx: what kind of errors? [09:26] I cannot tell you Maelaian at this point. I was just giving you some practical solutions. Re-Install the old system that works and mirror check the files to see what files are there and what is not there in the new installation. [09:26] error: graphics.h: no such file or directory [09:27] is it possible to use a program to automatically check to see if a port is open, and then return either 0 or 1 to the operating system, depending on the status of that port? [09:27] and if so, how do I do it? [09:27] Curly_Q: How do you "mirror check the files to see what files are there" [09:27] shanx: is graphics.h your header file or part of some development package maybe you didn't install? [09:27] Shanx, try netstat -tuanlp [09:28] Maelaian, there are lots of software out there that checks file side by side with other to see if there is anything different about the files. That is a Windows trick I use. [09:28] its my header file I used it like this #include [09:28] Hi everyone. I'm new to using Ubuntu. I'm using 10.04 and having no 3D acceleration for my Intel 945. Anyone know what it could be? [09:29] hi, I'm looking for a program which can converse avi into amv files, anyone an idea? [09:29] Curly_Q: Your asking me to do it on the scale of the entire file system, a task I'm not familiar with beyond two folders. [09:29] ok need help fixing a usb [09:29] shanx, use gcc -I/dir/name [09:30] shanx: is that the old school borland C++ graphics.h for like old DOS games n such? [09:30] Curly_Q: Your basically telling me "somethings different" and giving me the crapshoot of diffing every file. Well I know somethings different, obviously it not working is caused by that difference from 9.10 to 10.04. Im looking for something more direct then comparing every file in the OS. [09:30] yes you r right @Talon_ [09:31] ok I think I deleted the partition on the thumb drive and didnt create a partition before i removed the darn thing ( duh i know) I think there is a way to fix it with the term but heck if i rem so i ask help me pls [09:32] hi guys, got a tricky question [09:32] so u r compiling a windows program on ubuntu? [09:33] Maelaian, you can try this with your old setup and then compare it with your new setup: lshw -html > system.html && xdg-open ./system.html [09:33] no not an windows program its a graphics testing program simply to generate some graphics patterns [09:33] i have a python script that prints correct non-ascii characters in the terminal output, but if I redirect the output with '>file.txt' , then the file.txt contains wrong characteres for those that are not ascii [09:33] is there a way to do unicode '>' redirection? [09:34] Curly_Q: Ill give it a go after the upgrade finishes and i try hat. [09:34] Also lsmod will tell you all of the utilized modules. [09:35] Maelaian, check this website out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=933054 [09:35] capiscuas_: Is there really a difference with your script between "script" and "script > file.txt && cat file.txt" ? (note that using cat is not the same as viewing the file in a text editor). [09:36] hi. say, i've got a problem. the "jockey" hardware-drivers thing says i have nvidia installed and activated. great. but, when ubuntu starts it says that it can't find the nvidia module, and so i have to restart the x-server to get things going. also, if i tried to enable compiz visual effects, it doesn't recognize any driver at all, and tries to download and install nvidia all over again, except it fails. what can i possibly do??? [09:36] shanx, maybe you forget to add the directory containing 'graphics.h' into your project, or 'graphics.h' does not exists [09:36] shanx: there is a project somewhere, its not in the repositories tho, a project called libgraph which takes all of graphics.h functions and wraps them around SDL so you can compile your windows programs that used "graphics.h" on linux systems as long as you have the required sdl-dev packages [09:37] does ubuntu take advantage of quad core when booting? [09:37] someone an idea? [09:37] @ Talon_ what is the package name to be installed [09:37] , [09:38] Joradn__U , let me try [09:39] transalp: you might want to check out handbrake for that - it is not in the repos afaik [09:39] shanx: its not a package that can be installed via synaptic or ubuntu software center.. You'd have to download it and compile the library yourself. [09:40] can you please tell the site for this [09:40] capiscuas_: File redirection takes the bits directly from stdout and puts them in a file, so it doesn't matter if it's ascii, unicode, or mp3 data. While there are reasons why a program might decide to output different bits if it detects that stdout is not going to a terminal I doubt that your program is doing this. My guess is that you are noticing differences between how the terminal is interpreting the characters and how you [09:40] Jordan_U, exactly , the cat command ouptuts correctly the file === a is now known as notit [09:40] but the text editor shows it wrongly [09:40] how can I fix it ? [09:41] shanx: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libgraph/ [09:41] capiscuas_: Make sure that your text editor is set to interpret the file as unicode, and that your output does not contain any terminal controll characters. [09:41] moetunes: handbrake is not in synaptic [09:41] or in apt-get [09:42] Jordan_U , in fact the final file is a html file that the browser reads wrongly [09:42] i'm using the diff2html python script [09:43] Have you considered checking out the ppa for the latest handbrake build? [09:44] https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots [09:44] so how's usb3 and sata3 support coming? [09:45] USB 3.0 support is already in the latest kernels. I don't know about SATA 3 though. [09:46] transalp: i didn't think it was - tried avidemux? [09:46] Jordan_U , in fact i discovered that the file is correctly with unicode chars.... [09:46] is the browser that doesn't represent those non-ascii correctly [09:47] and if I do 'show code' also it shows it wrongly [09:47] anyone knows why increasing/decreasing the brightness of my screen doesnt show a notify anymore? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [09:47] how i get exfat in ubuntu 10.04?

[09:50] i cant see my exfat usb flash drive in ubuntu 10.04 what i do? [09:50] i've successfully connected through ssh command [09:50] ok this became disturbing, anybody know a fix?

[09:57] Hey. Could some of you help me with my old laptop? i've been using it for 1. and 2. year in school. But i bought a new one for 3. semester. But apparently i need my notes from 1. and 2. year. But i've forgotten the username and password. Anyone there can help me retrieve it? or is it impossible? [09:57] raymondjtoth: in terminal do sudo fdisk -l and see if it shows in there [09:57] Thraul, you here? [09:57] I only have drivers for win 7 is it competible [09:57] raymondjtoth, exfat = fatx (XBOX format?) ? [09:58] !pass | Bekmand [09:58] Bekmand: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [09:58] moetunes, how i see if itsthere\ [09:58] Bekmand there is a way to retrieve your data. You need to first slave your hard drive from the old laptop which will be able to see the files. [09:59] and then acces the harddrive from another computer? [09:59] Bekmand with laptops, it is a bit more tricky though. [09:59] Yes. [09:59] mole i see 2 things there moetunes [09:59] Bekmand: just follow instructions would be lot easier [09:59] raymondjtoth: if you have one internal hard disk it will be sdb [10:00] oCean: Its the login screen that i cant get through [10:00] i see sdb and a sda moetunes [10:00] Forget the login screen. [10:00] Bekmand: have you even looked at the url ubottu send you? [10:00] oCean: Yea [10:00] its usb flash drive formated in exfat [10:00] Bekmand: so, nothing about login screen there... [10:00] raymondjtoth: and you only have one internal hard disk? [10:01] can i set permissiosn on a directory such that every file created in it inherits its permissions rather than default umask? [10:01] WAITING [10:01] no i have usb flash drive [10:01] also hooked up and hd on lapy [10:01] see my fat flash drive just not the exfat flash drive [10:01] moetunes, [10:02] Bekmand there is a USB device that you can plug your laptop hard drive into that will slave it to your other laptop. When slaving with the USB device it must be Primary Master. [10:02] raymondjtoth: then it is not a filesystem that is recognised - thraul asked - Thraul> raymondjtoth, exfat = fatx (XBOX format?) ? [10:03] moetunes, not sure its fat64 for short its exfat [10:04] moetunes, how i get this file for mat support? [10:04] raymondjtoth: I know nothing about it - fat32 is the easiest to get support for afaik [10:05] moe for exfat what i do? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [10:05] raymondjtoth, it appears that exfat is still experimental on linux. Its the new FAT from microsoft suited especially for USB flash drives, introduced for embedded devices in Windows Embedded CE 6.0, in their desktop operating systems Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows 7, and in their server operating system Windows Server 2008. ExFAT can be used where the NTFS file system is not a feasible solution, due to data structure [10:05] overhead, or where the file size or directory restrictions of previous versions of the FAT file system are unacceptable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT) [10:05] anyone successfuly connected to server via ssh through nautilus? ever? :P [10:06] Thraul, yes [10:06] dsirijus: sure [10:06] !bot [10:06] Hi!

[10:07] the ubuntuforms have a read only driver (deb file) you could try that and see if it works [10:07] oCean: thanks... couldn't find it at the start... but found out why ;) had to go into rescue mode. just like the guide told me to. -.-' but thanks for your help oCean and Curly :) [10:08] Your welcome Bekmand.

[10:18] hi [10:18] raymondjtoth: on the other hand, if you just use it at home on your linux, ext4 will do just fine :-) [10:19] athlion, i want open source formate i got 2 flash drive onew i want open formate [10:19] Hello. Ubuntu Lucid, here. Any user can mount Windows partitions from places but as a user when I try to mount it from terminal, it says only root can mount partitions. What is the command to mount it as a non-root user to mount as done via GUI places? [10:19] how can i hack [10:19] Curly_Q, iceroot, that's not up to me to decide, i just need to login so i can do stuff through gui, is all === xyz is now known as hellyeah [10:19] raymondjtoth: ok then, go with ext4/ext3/whatever you want, but keep in mind that you won't be able to read the usb flash from anywhere else [10:19] athlion, i want open sourve formate === zoom is now known as Guest57416 [10:20] understand [10:20] raymondjtoth: ext4 is probably a good idea [10:20] Dsirijus, are you trying to log into Linux from a Windows box? [10:20] Curly_Q, no, from ubuntu [10:20] Hi [10:20] Curly_Q, in win all works fine through putty and winscp [10:20] engin_: you need to use sudo with the mount command [10:21] athlion, how i delete a file with non root or none owner permition [10:21] I use SSH by Tectia. It is expensive but it works great. Putty is good too. [10:21] will njot alow me its locked [10:21] FlexiStation application is closing by throwing this error "FlexiStation: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0." [10:21] Why put ext 3/4 on usb? They don't require journaling so why bother and not just stick with fat32. [10:22] raymondjtoth: you mean from command line or from nautilus? [10:22] Curly_Q, well, it seems like a nice idea that Connect to server command would work on Ubuntu, but i guess it doesn't [10:22] :P [10:22] i see a locked file cant delete it how i get ride of it [10:22] moetunes: So what is the terminal equivalent of clicking mount win partition via GUI "places"? Any user can mount from there without asked for sudoer pass. [10:22] Dsirijus, you still need permissions to cut, copy and paste to the server even with SSH. [10:23] raymondjtoth: there are two ways, one is to open a terminal, cd in the directory you are and type sydo rm [10:23] engin_: sodo mount -v /dev/sd?? /place/to/mount [10:23] Curly_Q, it's root account access [10:23] raymondjtoth: the other is to open a terminal, and type sudo nautilus and go delete it from the new window that appears (which has root access) [10:23] Even with ROOT access, you still need to give yourself permission. [10:24] Curly_Q: If I'm not mistaken, with root you do not [10:24] athlion: Not recommend sudo through Nautilus. [10:25] It's dodgy. [10:25] Not true. [10:25] moetunes: I know the sudo way but what I want to learn is: Any user can mount them by clicking via "places". It should run a command at the background noy asking for root pass. So what is that command? [10:25] Giving yourself permission in root is a security factor. === dyllan is now known as kingmilo [10:26] engin_: Can it be done via command?

[10:33] raymondjtoth: go in your normal nautilus in the directory where the fil you want to delete is [10:33] ok [10:33] is there any way to get rid of all dicitionaries spellcheckers and so forth? I think I by now have removed at least four spellcheckers from aptitude and they are still coming up all over the place - now someone say again that ubuntu doesnt shovel crap down your neck.... [10:33] engin_: Welp, that is mainly done by checking file properties [10:33] athlion, how i do this [10:33] ? [10:34] raymondjtoth: then, press ctrl+L and copy the full path where the file is located [10:34] athlion, its oin my usb flash drive [10:34] raymondjtoth: ok, just go there [10:34] its locked [10:34] tell me [10:34] raymondjtoth: as you would normally do [10:35] ok [10:35] raymondjtoth: now press ctrl+L [10:35] Then, I removed evince but the mozilla apps still want to open pdfs with the "Default document viewer" which turns out to be evince (although i got xpdf installed) - where is that configured? [10:35] athlion: you should see a location in the top of the window, something like /media/blahblah.../ [10:35] athlion, ok did [10:35] Theadmin, check this out in the meantime: http://www.clonezilla.org/ [10:35] yes [10:35] i do [10:35] raymondjtoth: cool, now right click, and select copy [10:36] ok now what [10:36] open up a terminal [10:36] ok then [10:36] type: [10:36] cd " [10:36] ok i di that [10:36] and then right click, pste [10:36] right click, paste [10:36] now what im in the cd thing [10:36] and then type another " [10:36] I want classes to lunix [10:36] and then enter [10:36] were it is [10:36] ok next [10:37] you should have typed something like cd "/media/blahladhj/asdlad" [10:37] right? [10:37] theadmin: I want to learn what command is run when I click as a non-root user to mount Win partition via places. So its not a file, a process. Can I learn what command is run to achieve it? (I know sudo way to mount; I am tying to see what is the non-sudo way as done from the GUI via places) [10:37] engin_: That? GNOME is responsible for that [10:37] engin_: So no command [10:38] theadmin: Thanks. [10:38] ok in in there when i try to cd in file i get Permission denied [10:38] engin_: If you just want to give users priveleges to mount via console, edit sudoers correspondently [10:38] Have you tried calling Geek Squad? [10:38] no no [10:38] raymondjtoth: you can't cd in the file [10:38] athlion, ok [10:39] theadmin: thanks. [10:39] In fstab the options for mounting my ntfs partition is "nls=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0077", and why I cannot write to file in the ntfs partition? [10:39] engin_: For instance, you could add something like this to /etc/sudoers - "user ALL=/bin/mount" [10:39] raymondjtoth: now you need to delete it, right? [10:39] i got to were it is on now what [10:39] yes' [10:39] will someone please have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1488092 ? [10:39] athlion, yes [10:39] raymondjtoth: type: sudo rm the_file [10:39] replacing the_file with the name of the file you want to delete [10:40] athlion, i get this rm: cannot remove `lost+found': Is a directory [10:40] raymondjtoth: wow, wow [10:40] raymondjtoth: You can't remove that, it's an essential part of ext3/4 filesystem [10:40] raymondjtoth: lost+found is a system directory [10:40] what now [10:40] o ok [10:40] raymondjtoth: it's supposed to be there === dsirijus is now known as Guest66288 [10:41] athlion, is ex4 better than fat32 [10:41] raymondjtoth: heck yeah [10:41] raymondjtoth: depends on what you need it for [10:41] raymondjtoth: what do you want to do with it? [10:41] raymondjtoth: But vfat is maybe better for flash devices [10:41] sed s/flash/usb/ [10:41] for flash drive want open sdourcd file formate for it [10:42] raymondjtoth: For flash device, go with fat32 or ntfs [10:42] theadmin how i use vfat [10:42] raymondjtoth: well, if you just want an open source format, use ext4 [10:42] i want open source one [10:42] theadmin: In fact, what I try to do is, without mounting win partitions automatically at startup, putting a shortcut on the desktop for a user, running the command mount that win partition and open that directory there, but mount asks for sudo pass and I dont want the user to have ir. On the other hand that user actually can mount Win partition via GUI "places" bt just clicking. So my problem is to create such a shortcut for her. [10:42] raymondjtoth: if you dont have windows/mac-clients, use extX, else use vfat [10:42] engin_: ...complicated. [10:42] Nixpix, there seems to be a fat 12 issue there which hangs the system. [10:43] iceroot is that supported under ububtu 10.04 extx [10:43] Nixpix, what is Win95 doing there? hehe [10:43] raymondjtoth: x = placeholder for ext2,3 or 4 [10:43] you don't want journalling on a flsh drive folks [10:43] iceroot o ok want open source [10:43] this time [10:43] Curly_Q, wow. How do I fix it? That's actually the restore-xp drive. It's standard on the eee's [10:43] raymondjtoth: they are open-source [10:44] hello [10:44] i see i got ext 2 or ext4 ice [10:44] Fat 12 is an old format. [10:44] moetunes: sure, if the whole system is running on it [10:44] i did ext4 [10:44] i am trying to install vmware server 2.0 but getting vmmon error [10:44] what one should i use for flash drive [10:45] my mute button doesn't work when headphones are plugged in (hp 2730p)... anyone had similar issue? [10:45] raymondjtoth: just for trading files or running a system on it? [10:45] the admin: In fact not complicated. For example we can create any shortcut for a directory lying in Ubuntu. What I try to create is a shortcut for a particular Win directory. But I dont want Ubuntu to ask for root password from user. In fact, Ubuntu doesn't ask for permission when user clicks and connects. [10:45] no forn files [10:45] histo, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some problems I'm having with my Microphone. [10:45] for files ice [10:45] raymondjtoth: use the correct nicks please [10:45] Curly_Q, I know. In my defence it was there as a standard. The thing is that I had no issues booting backtrack earlier, and i don't think the partition type has changed since [10:45] !tab | raymondjtoth [10:45] raymondjtoth: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:45] Nixpix, perhaps you can find the file to comment out the drive in question. Something like a process of elimination. [10:46] iceroot, for files [10:46] raymondjtoth: i would not use extX on a flash-drive for trading files [10:46] raymondjtoth: because you may want to trade with a windows/mac client or maybe a dvd-player and so on [10:46] Curly_Q, which file? Comment out the drive? So that ubuntu doesn't go meddling with that partition you mean? [10:46] Yes. [10:46] for some reason I can [10:46] iceroot, i only use it with my linux box [10:47] for some reason I can't seem to get my mic to work with Lucid [10:47] engin_: you want to edit /etc/fstab and use the "user" option for your win-drives [10:47] i got 2 flash one i want open souce other i want for windows understand [10:47] raymondjtoth: maybe ext2 or ext3 without journaling [10:47] Curly_Q, any idea on what file i should be looking for? [10:47] Boot up file. [10:47] engin_: you don't want to mess up /bin/mount permissions [10:47] iceroot, how i get it formayed with out jurnaling [10:47] llutz: thanks. I will try it. [10:47] I have a Ubuntu 9.10 server. It's a VPS running under OpenVZ. I'm trying to set up quota during the install process of ISPConfig 3, but I have a problem... / is not in fstab, and I'm supposed to add ",usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0" to the entry. Any ideas, anyone? [10:48] I suppose the init file. [10:48] engin_: there are options for mounting ntfs user-writable too, just read a bit [10:48] !ntfs > engin_ [10:48] engin_, please see my private message [10:48] raymondjtoth: dont know the line, maybe have a search or someone here knows [10:48] iceroot, how i fotemat it ext4 with out journaling?

[10:50] raymondjtoth: ext2 [10:50] Nixpix, this might help on howto speed up the boot process: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491 [10:50] dubey: Well... whenever I've installed vmware-server on a ubuntu machine, I had to run a script that fixes things for ubuntu. Not sure if that's still needed for 10.04 though [10:50] Curly_Q, thanks a bunch! [10:50] iceroot, it dont [10:50] raymondjtoth: but maybe have a look at google what journaling is and if you want to disable it [10:50] Your welcome Nixpix. Let me know if that helped. [10:51] iceroot, ext2 what recamend [10:51] FireCrotch :- i used that scripts but it still gives me error [10:51] raymondjtoth: sorry i dont get what you want [10:52] llutz: Those partitions are actually writable by default in Ubuntu. Now the user can write rechinh there by clicking places>that partition. But I can't put a shortcut on the desktop for that partition ; I mean that shortcut doesn't work when partition is not mounted. You should mount it first by clicking via places and then shortcut works. What I want is to combine those two: [10:52] iceroot, i got 2 usb flash oned i want formated in open source file formate other one will keep for windows [10:52] understand [10:52] raymondjtoth: yes and we told youb already what to do [10:52] How to make a VCD a avi file with K3B ? [10:52] o ok [10:52] used ext2 [10:52] raymondjtoth: read again [10:52] does anyone know why when I try to mount an sshfs drive it mounts to the directory but the directory has ?s for it's permissions...........? [10:53] use eather ext2 or ext4 [10:53] engin_: i don't know how those shortcuts work, can't you just write a 2 line-script to mount that drive and make that a shortcut for your user? [10:53] is it possible to make an EXT4 volume visible in windows? the only tools I've found, can only display ext2 [10:53] engin_ hataylımısın [10:53] masterburner: not yet (afaik) [10:54] How to make a VCD a avi file with K3B ?

[11:45] yes, I installed vnc4server successfully [11:45] madjoe, if you intend on remoting ubuntu boxes your best bet is with freenx/nxdestop (free from nomachine). Nxdesktop has very great performance lightyears ahead of VNC performance wise. [11:45] madjoe: than the vncviewer is the issue? [11:46] knoxville_: no, everything's ok, that's a feature to give you more space for Ubuntu === alloosh1 is now known as alloosh [11:46] !info vncviewer karmic [11:46] Package vncviewer does not exist in karmic [11:46] madjoe: you are going to need a repo like medibuntu [11:47] madjoe, and if you intend on remoting to Windows hosts, nothing beat tsclient to connect terminal server service. [11:47] leagris: thanks for the info.. do you have a tutorial for that? I'd like to make it more secure.. by SSH and tunneling if neccessary [11:47] madjoe: everything is okay? I want to use dualboot, not only ubuntu [11:47] knoxville_: I tried to make a joke.. ;) [11:47] madjoe, nxdesktop actually uses ssh for tunneling. This is a click and go setup, quite easy. [11:48] madjoe: ahh.. alright :) [11:48] leagris: exactly what I needed! [11:48] leagris: tsclient is just a viewer for Nxdesktop, or? [11:50] madjoe, tsclient is a client for Windows terminal server [11:51] leagris: ok, so it should be doable to use remote desktop from Windows to Ubuntu and vice versa... [11:51] madjoe, as for nxserver nxnode nxclient (or qtnx) here it is: http://www.nomachine.com/download.php [11:53] leagris: thanks! so I should choose this NX Free Edition for Linux, I guess [11:53] madjoe, yes, remote desktop is doable boths ways. If you remote to windows machine from linux using tsclient->terminalserver you should really tunnel yourself using SSH as the terminal server protocol is bare vulnerable and should not be opened to the wide internet.

[12:30] yes [12:30] in Lucid, Compose sequences can only consist of two characters, and may only output one character.

[13:14] I'm doing some contingency planning for my work, designing a backup server, what would be ideal is some sort of RAID/alternative setup so that it would have 3 drives, one in a removable bay so my boss could remove it at the end of the day and take it home, put it back in the morning and have the array copy across any changes to bring the removed drive up to date. Problem is I'm not sure RAID would handle this very well, any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help [13:19] I installed Tracker on Lucid, and I can't seem to get it started. Even when I enable indexing, it doesn't start, I can tell this because tracker-search-tool says the backend isn't running. Any ideas? [13:19] dark_neo, also remember that raid cards fail too, just like disks [13:19] where can I get some assistance getting a blue ray working on my laptop? [13:20] blueray dvd? [13:20] yes [13:20] acicula: that's why I'm thinking RAID wouldn't handle it, I'll have to look into the cost of tape, disc wouldn't be practical due to the size of the data [13:20] JuJuBee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [13:20] read that already [13:20] dark_neo, how many GB? [13:20] Hey guys, can I convert an Ubuntu desktop to an Ubuntu server so that I get the GUI? Atleast which kernel package? [13:21] still not working. DumpHD doesn't seem to recognize the disc. cant find key? [13:21] dark_neo: in the hundreds range [13:22] well you can get tapes in that range, and you can do incremental backups to keep the cost down a bit [13:22] melrokz, I just added gnome to ubuntu server (so I could edit graphics and such) that may not be the route you want to go but it is a possibility [13:22] does anyone know how can i set opacity for Packet Tracer in Ubuntu ? ...just for Packet Tracer i have this troubleshoot: http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/6181/packettracer.png [13:22] Hi,everyone [13:23] new ubuntu grub is shit [13:23] !hi | smilingsun [13:23] smilingsun: 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! [13:23] jazman, watch the language [13:23] cant get any thing loading [13:23] acicula: yeh I was just thinking that, we are planning to do incremental backups using rsync and hardlinking, so after the initial backup they'd get much smaller [13:23] jazman: take your ranting elsewhere please [13:23] JuJuBee, maybe dumpHD has been revoked already, dunno [13:24] melrokz: well, you can install the desktop on top of a server install. Once you started out with desktop install, you can add whatever server packages you need, without losing the desktop/gui [13:24] acicula: so am I sol? [13:24] dark_neo, well if you can backup to an offsite location i wouldnt bother with tapes [13:24] ok then it seems because im not a fan of terminal u dont want to help as i cant boot my pc wwith unbuntu 10.04 or win then it shows how elitist u are [13:25] ggodbye [13:25] jazman, what? [13:25] oCean_: oh u mean the server install on top of the desktop one? [13:26] acicula: perhaps using a 2 drive RAID in the backup server and rsync changes to the external drive (turns out my boss would like to take home a snapshot) [13:26] JuJuBee, dunno tbh, any blueray disc can be cracked afaik to get the key so you can view your content. check the dumphd forum perhaps? [13:26] oCean_: that's what i need. [13:26] jazman: heck, if you can't boot, you'll have to use the terminal. Sorry but if you can't use those you can't use Linux. [13:26] melrokz: no, not exactly [13:26] acicula : k, will do, thanks [13:27] melrokz: once you have installed the desktop, you can add whatever packages you want (apache, mysql or ftp server, whatever) [13:27] acicula: I'll have to put this to the rest of my team, thanks for your suggestions [13:27] i use terminal from time but with other versions i had no probs get the grub_puts error [13:27] yw [13:27] melrokz: but when you started with a server install, you can add the metapackage "ubuntu-desktop" to install the GUI on top of the server installation [13:28] oCean_: oh, my net connection is a slow one (236kbps, 1GB limit p.m.) Server's only 4 study purposes. [13:28] jazman, the gui usually works pretty well but there is occaision where its just much easier or necessary to open up a terminal window and punch a command in. Be thankful for it Windows trys to take that away from you... [13:29] btw, i cant get the server install to update the repos... some error including 'stdin' and 'bzip2' [13:30] melrokz: ah. my point is, it does not really matter which way you start. The thing is that, for the GUI, there is a meta-package (consisting of several 'real' packages to be installed, which will turn your installation into a desktop install) - but there is no "server" meta-package, so you have to pick the packages you need by hand [13:31] soyo some times it is helpful i have used it to much code for me to learn i forget it all i try the copy and paste i have tried re installing grub using the live cd i didnt get it to work i think the mbr is stuffed [13:31] do have 3 internal hdrs and 1 usb ext [13:32] oCean_: k, thanks.

I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins [13:37] collink, if its not in your path use a full (relative) path [13:37] acicula: I just put it in my path and it's still not working [13:37] acicula: absolute path didn't work eitgher [13:38] either* [13:38] wenas [13:38] collink: is it a script? [13:38] oCean_: you familiar with Nagios? [13:38] si, eso pense [13:38] soyo i did ready a few ubuntu forums on it tried the terminal and good not install grub again from live cd i relaoded karmic now [13:38] Rama? [13:39] 'morning [13:39] collink: a little. But what could be, is that the interpreter (first line) is incorrect. For example, when it starts /bin/sh, and you don't have /bin/sh [13:40] oCean_: I'm trying to set up a nagios user on the machine so that the checks have something to run. a lot of them are compiled checks [13:40] collink: what is the exact error message? [13:41] ill keep trying the command loose me a bit as the drive deso all ways throw me woth win and lin [13:41] oCean_: -su: ./check_users: No such file or directory [13:42] is it worth me trying supergrub [13:42] oCean_: I'm running these exact same files on 20 other servers with no problems [13:44] okay [13:44] can i ask who can direct me to install a tar.gz files? [13:44] collink: i see. In that case, it might have something to do with nagios setup. You could try #nagios [13:44] shayisaac, what is the package [13:45] bazhang : LiVES-1.3.3.tar.gz [13:45] shayisaac, lives is in the repositories [13:46] bazhang : u mean?> [13:47] shayisaac, sudo apt-get install lives [13:47] oCean_: but the machine it's running on isn't a nagios server, it's just a server to be checked. Nagios will run a lot of these plugins by SSH. The problem is that they won't run for some reason. I think it's missing libraries or something. Any suggestions how to figure out which one(s)? [13:47] bazhang : hmm ... okay ... i'll try that now bro [13:48] bazhang : did u mean that this kind of software is recognieable by UBUNTU just by running the apt-get install command? [13:48] collink plugins that do not run, maybe set the execute bit ? [13:49] shayisaac, yep; always a good idea to check if what you want is in the Ubuntus software repositories First [13:50] shayisaac, you may wish to check the new manual as it has a ton of info on this type of thing [13:50] collink: (shared) lib checking - use "ldd /path/to/executable" or you could use strace, which renders quite some output though (showing all system calls) like "strace -f /path/to/executable" [13:50] !manual | shayisaac [13:50] shayisaac: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

To do that, run dpkg -l|grep nvidia and remove all the packages with ii next to their name. Then restart X and it should work [15:09] maltron: a crash would might end up in /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/syslog the X startup log is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. but I think that's just from Xorg detecting screens and such [15:09] we are of peace [15:10] alguem pode me ajudar?

[17:02] cjdevlin: No. Live is running debian, and my local is Ubuntu. It was working fine in the previous version of Ubuntu. It's likely a default configuration change in the new Ubuntu with Apache or MySQL, but I looked and didn't see anything I could think of causing it [17:02] Reliant: what php function is called to make the cookie?

[17:11] mohamad: Could you try spelling your words out so you wont sound like you're two? [17:11] You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [17:11] michelle_: Gah, I wonder if you successfully tried the ath9k driver or what [17:11] I'm a big Ubuntu fan, but I've got to say... whoever made the decision on the default UI theme for the desktop version of Lucid, I think it was a mistake. [17:11] michelle_: You can do the same procedure but with ath9k loaded per 'lsmod|grep ath' [17:11] hi all! do you know any tool for monitoring _real_ memory consumption per process/program? (top/htop give fakes when using swap) [17:12] grandrew: i use conky [17:12] soreau i am sorry but what would that look like/. [17:12] ?

[17:16] starbugs: the slowness of boot is not changed or sped up either way. i use it for my persistant USB OS [17:17] hi, would you recommend an app/deamon that dims my laptop screen gradually after some period of inactivity? [17:17] bastidrazor, do you think it would be faster if I did an full install to the disk instead ? [17:17] I installed the LTS version but it never asked if I wanted to encrypt my home directory. Do I need to use the alternative installer for that? [17:17] michelle_: It will only work once, since it will unload the ath5k driver so running it a second time would complain that ath5k doesn't exist in /proc/modules (because it's no longer loaded) [17:17] starbugs: light speeds faster for an install on your harddrive. [17:17] starbugs: as i said, could be from anything xD [17:17] bastidrazor, no i mean installed to the flash drive XD === sisu_math is now known as moomlyn [17:17] starbugs: its much much faster after a full install to the hd [17:18] CaptainTrek: booting from USB is slow.

[17:18] starbugs: it could be anything [17:18] starbugs: oh, mine is slow to boot as well and it is installed ont he USB. [17:18] ok [17:18] hmm, weird [17:18] mohamad: please don't PM, keep it in the channel. [17:19] bastidrazor no1 is answering me in the channel [17:19] *hi* [17:19] mohamad: i will nto answer you in PM, either. [17:19] bastidrazor, by post do you mean right after i chose the boot from USB option in my bios ? [17:19] hi all [17:19] or did I need to select "Advanced" options in order to encrypt my home directory ? [17:19] wanna answer me here? [17:19] soreau what was the command to bring up the interface again [17:19] has anybody compiled iFolder for ubuntu ? [17:20] starbugs: yes, i normally press ctrl but any key will do. it should get you to a menu on what you want to do like on the liveCD.. [17:20] michelle_: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [17:20] mohamad: if no one is answering you, it's because a) they don't know, b) your question doesn't have enough info, or c) it's an obvious answer that is available in the knowledgebase. [17:20] am i right here, when i am having sound probs? [17:20] I am going to buy an high end desktop computer ... Any good pointer to start learning AMD vs Intel ? [17:20] bastidrazor, interesting, doing that just sends me to my primary HD's boot menu :P [17:20] Hey, could someone review this and make sure I did it right? it's my windows entry in /etc/fstab. http://paste.ubuntu.com/438939/ [17:20] hi, how to restore the main panel( the one above the desktop of ubuntu). i deleted it n add a new panel but the panel is empty. [17:21] bipin: that is strictly apple, what are you trying to do? [17:21] mine must be an obvious answer too but I had already guessed as much [17:21] mohamad: once you run sudo nvidia-config you should log out then back in. then run gksudo nvidia-settings .. none of this will work if you have not installed a nVidia driver [17:21] MikeHoncho Where is the knowledgebase and how long is it? [17:21] GeekSquid, iFolder is not specific for MAC.. it runs on linux distros like SuSE [17:21] bastidrazor thx i'll try it now [17:22] hi, how to restore the main panel( the one above the desktop of ubuntu). i deleted it n add a new panel but the panel is empty. [17:22] GeekSquid, i agree to the point that they also have a mac client [17:22] bipin: what's iFolder? Apple's 'cloud' ? [17:22] starbugs: you have USB above HDD in boot order? [17:22] slavik: that's iDisk [17:22] bastidrazor : re the main panel( the one above the desktop of ubuntu). i deleted it n add a new panel but the panel is empty. [17:22] is there any groupware/calendar server software that will work cross platform (ideally integrating with outlook?) [17:22] bastidrazor, no i select it manually with my bios boot menu [17:22] im having some problems getting my microphone to work. anyone know some strategies i could use in getting it to work? [17:22] slavik, http://ifolder.com/ifolder [17:22] !panels | biborn [17:22] biborn: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [17:22] ahh a dropbox [17:23] soreau http://paste.ubuntu.com/438945/ [17:23] its not dropbox [17:23] bastidrazor : thanks [17:23] you can sync any files in your box to a remote server [17:23] it has lot of additional features [17:24] so it's encrypted nfs over internet ... [17:24] starbugs: after selecting USB then starting to boot process, pressing any key still sends you to grub on the box and not the USB? [17:24] or sshfs [17:24] biborn: good luck [17:24] bipin: lots of ways to do that / ubuntuone? [17:24] bastidrazor, correct [17:24] bastidrazor when i type sudo nvidia-config it says command not found [17:25] GeekSquid, i tried ubuntuone.. frankly speaking its not so user friendly [17:25] soreau did i do that right? [17:25] michelle_: Ok, reload ath5k now and do 'dmesg|less' and pastebin it [17:25] michelle_: Yes you did [17:25] bastidrazor, nvm just tried holding down the ctrl key and now it put me in the boot menu [17:25] bastidrazor, do you know if this can be customized manually using the syslinux cfg files to just go to "try from usb" by default ? [17:25] mohamad: then it is not installed. sudo apt-get install nvidia-config [17:26] soreau so now i type "sudo rmmod ath5k"? [17:26] starbugs: no idea. you could try. [17:27] bipin: ifolder is propritary, which unless they release for ubuntu, we won't get it [17:27] bastidrazor: now it says " E: Couldn't find package nvidia-config " ,, the nvidia driver was downloaded 30 min ago [17:27] mohamad, since i joined late to this channel i missed your question. but I guess your question is to configure nividia drivers.. install envyNG [17:28] michelle_: Well you have the ath9k driver loaded which is obviously wrong since it didn't create a wlan0 interface [17:28] GeekSquid, ifolder is GPL [17:28] bipin i guess u missed that i've been using ubuntu for an hour now [17:28] michelle_: SO, just switch the two in the rmmod/modprobe commands and it should work [17:28] michelle_: rmmod ath9k; modprobe ath5k [17:29] michelle_: and right after loading ath5k, do 'dmesg|less' so we can see if there's any output to the kernel log [17:29] hi all [17:29] im having some troubles with network-manager [17:30] Hey, could someone review this and make sure I did it right? it's my windows entry in /etc/fstab. http://paste.ubuntu.com/438939/ [17:30] mohamad, which version of ubuntu are you using? [17:30] hello [17:30] bipin 9.1 i installed envyNG now [17:30] Ubuntu 10.4 does not recognize the mouse wheel and go right, but the cursor is stationary (why?) [17:30] !hi | jessi90 [17:30] jessi90: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [17:30] mohamad, lucid links automatically takes the driver [17:31] soreau http://paste.ubuntu.com/438951/ [17:31] bipin envyNG wont start [17:31] hi [17:32] I need a bit of help [17:32] michelle_: That is the same last lines if you just run 'dmesg' alone? [17:32] michelle_: maybe try dmesg|grep ath [17:32] mohamad: how did you get the nvidia driver? [17:32] mohamad, u need to install envyng-qt too [17:32] !envyng [17:32] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [17:32] I just install ubunt 10.04 , how do I update ? wanted to check what recent updates [17:33] bastidrazor some1 showed me how to get it and it downloaded like +60MB then spent 10 min unpacking and setting up [17:33] apt-get update [17:33] then apt-get upgrade [17:34] mohamad: okay, that still does not tell me how you acquired the driver. did you sudo apt-get something or use synaptic or download it from nVidia? [17:34] ubuntunewbie on command prompt type apt-get update [17:34] bastidrazor the sudo apt-get [17:34] Haly : it fully updates [17:35] Ubuntu 10.4 does not recognize the wireless mouse, the keyboard works in ubuntu 9.10 everything was ok, someone had my problem? [17:35] bipin where can i find the envyng-qt ? cant find it in software center [17:35] hi people. tell me how can i enable nvidia-96 drivers? [17:35] i cant use desktop effects atm [17:35] and i installed "nvidia-96" package + i changed my xorg.conf [17:36] ubuntunewbie you may want to update by graphic environment then [17:36] system| administration | update manager [17:36] Haly : when I installing ubuntu 10.04 , I skip the step [17:36] Haly : retrieving file and language . [17:37] ubuntunewbie system| administration | update manager , there you can select the upgrades you need [17:37] Haly : I skip them since it takes like ages to download [17:37] soreau http://paste.ubuntu.com/438956/ [17:37] FlashGot + cURL are awkward. Are there any GUI download managers that hide in traybar and download flash videos readily? [17:38] I need some initramfs assistance and am curious what channel the ubuntu devs might be sitting in. Specifically I was using askpass for early boot password retrieval, and upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 broke the ability to read the passphrase for decrypting my key [17:38] mohamad, i forgot the location from where i got it.. just open a terminal and try running envyng -t [17:38] ubuntunewbie are you able to boot and get to graphic environment? [17:38] Haly : yes [17:38] crocket: there are plugins for firefox [17:38] ubuntunewbie ok then now you can upgrade [17:38] michelle_: Which version of ubuntu is this? [17:39] mohamad, brb [17:39] tyt [17:39] Haly : ok let me try [17:39] GeekSquid : plugins for firefox are bad since they are closed with firefox. [17:39] go to menu bar system [17:39] hi. has anybody experience in setting up layouts in gnome? [17:39] GeekSquid : When firefox closes, they close, too [17:39] It's a nightmare [17:40] soreau 10.04 [17:40] ubuntunewbie go to menu bar system then administration then run update manager [17:40] crocket: I know there is a pgm, I forget the name [17:40] is it possible to use shred to delete the contents on an entire harddrive (like /dev/hda)? [17:41] Haly : ok , now I am selecting server at software source [17:41] how do I tether my WM5 phone to my Ubuntu install? [17:41] ubuntu early boot, anyone got a clue what they changed with the cryptsetup or boot mechanism to break keyboard input? [17:41] so upgraded to lucid from karmic... now my usb connection to my canon powershot isn't working. any ideas? [17:41] frxstrem: not just format? Then shred, to write zeros [17:41] michelle_: Well you have AR2425 and I have AR2414 that works with ath5k on 9.10. I hope there's not a bug in 10.04 that causes it to not work.. in any event, these drivers are included with the linux kernel. So you could try a different version of the driver by trying a different kernel version, be it older or newere [17:42] michelle_: But I don't know why it's not working [17:42] ubuntunewbie any problem? [17:42] michelle_: You can file a bug report with this information [17:42] GeekSquid, what's a pgm? [17:42] crocket: sorry, chatting on a droid, program [17:43] Steve Langasek, is he in here? [17:43] Haly : very slow the internet speed , beside i saw an update on nvidia but i ma using ati [17:43] how do I tether my WM5 phone to my Ubuntu install? [17:43] ubuntunewbie do not download wrong graphic driver [17:44] soreau is there anyway to role back to say 9.10 in terminal [17:44] ? [17:44] this is just a theoretical question, but if I use shred to delete something, would it ever be possible to recover the contents of the file I deleted with it (if you just had the right tools)? [17:45] !downgrade | michelle_ [17:45] michelle_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [17:45] Haly : nvidia-current-modaliases should i uncheck it ? [17:45] o [17:45] ubuntunewbie have'nt you got highspeed internet in malysia? [17:45] is there any terminal command to switch off caps-lock? [17:45] Haly : have it but having problem with the ISP and cable broken [17:46] ubuntunewbie yes if you do not have nvidia then do not download the graphic driver for nvidia [17:46] michelle_: Yea, it could break. The best thing to do would be to try a 9.10 livecd and see if it works there, to confirm the problem/solution/bug === mohamad is now known as Angel_Tears [17:46] ok [17:46] ubuntunewbie i face the same problem nowadays here as well [17:46] Haly : it take 30min to finish , so i just wait [17:47] Haly : where are you from ? [17:47] running system -> administration -> nividia xserver config, it asks me to run sudo nvidia-xconfig but it fails to find xorg.conf and creates a new one... why? [17:47] soreau one more thing... do u know why hardware drivers would not show up under system; administration, menu? [17:47] ubuntunewbie iran , i have been to malaysia once [17:48] hello, how can i change my grub image and login image [17:48] Haly : oh , btw , I am having problem with some icons [17:48] Have certain "restricted" drivers been included in 10.04? Specifically the drivers for the ATI Mobility X300...They are not showing up in the "hardware drivers" applet now. (fresh install of 10.04 btw) [17:48] Haly : it disappear [17:48] ubuntunewbie which icons? [17:48] some of it [17:48] дайте линк на русский канал [17:48] michelle_: That is the jockey applet designed to provide an easy way to install proprietary drivers. Since there are no (longer any) proprietary drivers available for any of your hardware, it will not show anything there [17:49] system and administrator [17:49] ubuntunewbie during the update? [17:49] if youtube videos are running insanely slow, do i need to install the proprietary nvidia drivers? or rather, can it help? [17:49] what should i do to get my microphone working? do i need to download a certain driver? [17:49] o [17:49] kur, ubuntu-ru [17:49] perpz: Did you check alsamixer?

[17:50] Haly : before than , now updating will see how it does after reboot [17:50] perpz: Use arrow keys and 'm' to mute/unmute [17:50] well my sound works [17:50] perpz: Look for microphone boost and enable that if present [17:51] omfarka: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1440101 [17:51] Haly : internet very slow sorry for the wait [17:51] for headphone and speaker it says 00 [17:51] so im assuming that it isnt detecting them [17:51] even though i have been listening to music through them [17:51] ubuntunewbie during the update some icons go and then come back [17:51] perpz: So turn it up with uparrow and press 'm' while highlighting that column [17:52] GeekSquid: Yeah, 3D works, I just didn't know if there were more advanced drivers available. Not complaining, just curious. Lots of things have changed since 8.10. (the last Ubuntu desktop I used) [17:52] pressing the arrow keys doesnt do anything [17:52] :\ [17:52] it stays at 0 [17:52] i dont have a bar above the two columns [17:52] so explain me how to make use of my nvidia driver since in jockey gtk app it's shown that i activated "nvidia 96" driver but im not using it. what to do? [17:52] ScatterBrain: if it works, don't fix it === miRCPro-986 is now known as aFa [17:52] selam [17:53] used EnvyNG to download and install nvidia driver and its still not working [17:53] mizipzor, u can try proprietary as they are indeed a lot faster than nouveau but dont expect a similar experience to windows because flash sucks under linux and mac === apol__ is now known as apol [17:54] GeekSquid: I hear ya. ;-) [17:54] hi all [17:55] any ideas soreau? [17:55] mizipzor, in my experience flash worked smoothly(even in fullscreen) with nouveau, not so much with the bin blob, but that probably differs from card to card [17:55] nils, yea it cant get much worse so no reason not to try [17:56] hello [17:56] !hi | icejoywoo_mobile [17:56] icejoywoo_mobile: Hi!

[17:56] the nvidia x server settings tool cant find the xorg.conf and creates a new one [17:56] What's the name of the vim (most complete version) package? I've been given sudo apt-get rights, but not rights to apt-cache.... [17:57] omfarka: oh, i see. i'm sure you can do that with a little work, but i don't know how === frxstrem is now known as lucid_lynx [17:57] solifugus: apt-cache doesn't need sudo [17:57] I've mostly got my compose issue worked out now [17:58] GeekSquid: it returns nothing for: apt-cache search vim [17:58] how do i move windows easy to a diff work stations the drag does not work OS: ubuntu 10.04 [17:58] solifugus: I think it's called vim... [17:58] i need to activate the "remote desktop" from console, how can i do that? [17:58] Is there a VERY lightweight emulator for ubuntu? I only need to run a program that allows me to print through some network at my school. [17:58] Hi, I'm a hopeless newbie thrown to the wild and I need some help, please. I have a laptop with Ubuntu in it, plus a dsl modem plugged to the wall and also to a router (?) that provides me with wireless. I wanna connect to the wireless, but I dont know how to tell the connection that it needs an username and password to connect to internet. The same setting but with a different modem and without password was working just fine this morning. [17:59] ScatterBrain: it used to be called vim-full... the default vim-tiny is hideous.. [17:59] solifugus: I agree. [17:59] solifugus: Space saving on the CD though. [17:59] I have a PDF that is being printed directly to the printer as PDF, but the printer does not support it. Is it evince that is supposed to do the conversion to PS or cups? [18:00] solifugus: strange, works here [18:00] an 'apt-cache search vim' command should return all kinds of stuff [18:00] mikeshultz: sure; either print or print to file in evince === Leonopteryx is now known as Companion-Cube [18:00] solifugus: are you on a brand new install? [18:00] crdlb: Not sure you're understanding. When printing from PDF, it sends the job as a PDF directly to the printer. [18:01] crdlb: from evince, that is. [18:01] onetinsoldier: no.. it's been "upgraded".. which.. probably broke things.. [18:01] solifugus: maybe try... sudo apt-get update. then try again [18:01] I never upgrade a distro version... === V1ntage is now known as V1ntage|eat [18:02] mikeshultz: pdf2ps input.pdf output.ps [18:02] Do I need to configure a router with the username and password for the modem through which it connects to internet, or do I have to set the username and password in the wireless connection through which I connect to the router? Someone please help me, not only I need help, but I wanna get this straight for once and for all! [18:02] mikeshultz: how have you determined this? what kind of printer? [18:02] I've mostly got my compose issue worked out now [18:02] the main thing that's got me confused is gnome-terminal and firefox don't accept many-key compose sequences, and won't output more than one character -- it only works for definitions that are like deadkeys [18:03] is there a way to dump the list of currently installed packages? [18:03] actually.. apt-get install vim seems to have installed a good version of vim... I just had to manually remove vim-common first.. cause it was giving me dependencies errors.. [18:03] what file do i edit to run commands at the last step in boot? [18:03] panfist: yes. one moment [18:03] in Lucid [18:03] why can't i apt-get php5-cli_5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6_amd64.deb [18:03] like compose+t+m = ™-- this works everywhere. but compose+b+t+w - this only works *outside* of gtk/gnome [18:03] any lucid books out yet? or must read webpages? [18:03] knrt: That will convert it to PS, but that doesn't tell me how to set this up for my users so it's seamless.

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [18:04] compose+b+t+w = "by the way"- this only works *outside* of gtk/gnome, I meant [18:04] !clone | panfist [18:04] panfist: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [18:04] allyourrejects: sudo apt-get install php5-cli [18:04] why can't i update to: php5-common_5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.4_i386.deb [18:04] thanks [18:04] GeekSquid: it only shows ubuntu6 not ubuntu6.4 [18:04] Chinta, the router needs to use the username and password for the modem, you only need to set username and passwords for computers connected to the router that you set yourself in the router [18:04] crdlb: Output on the printer gives an error message. It's an HP 4250. [18:04] GeekSquid: even though its in the Releases.gz [18:04] CaptainTrek ok thanks will start there [18:04] panfist: you do that first command there... then you can see the list of packages in the file --> my-packages [18:05] : "by the way" -- works everywhere but in gnome/gtk. but other composes I set in .XCompose do work. what's going on? [18:05] is there a way to run custom commands during boot? [18:05] mikeshultz: and the printer is directly on the network? perhaps the printer driver is misconfigured in cups [18:05] panfist: you're welcome [18:05] crdlb: Yes, direct printing from the workstation. [18:06] curious question: why does shift-ins style pasting of large clipboards into tty-based things (cat, vim, etc.) frequenty drop bits? i use xclip whenever it's a problem, but it still surprises me, and makes me wonder if i need to enable some sort of flow control or something? [18:06] allyourrejects: it should get the newest, do you have any ppas enabled, perhaps pin it [18:06] GeekSquid: nothing enabled. Just security and main repos by default [18:06] GeekSquid: i only see php5-blahblah-ubuntu6 [18:07] on All servers, like 30 of them all default installs [18:07] ппц [18:07] can i use gfxboot at Ubuntu 10.04?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [18:19] mikeshultz: looks like direct pdf printing is a new feature in cups, so you'll need to disable it in the cups configuration [18:20] ernov: what are you tryin to do ?

[18:25] crdlb: would that be cups' configuration or the printer's configuration? [18:25] Soyo: not sure. I can send you a link to the webpage if you don't mind.

[18:29] i can't install ubuntu 10.04 because of partitioning issue, either to overwrite the entire hard disk or not, my H.D. is SATA other system install is win7 [18:29] Going to restore Vista bootloader soon but not too soon. I just need to make sure I've got everything read right. Does grub mess with vista's BCD data? and do I have to rebuild it? === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [18:30] Kraln: can you get to a command line? [18:30] grub chainloads vista just fine [18:30] orangeglo: have you tried enabling them from sound preferences? [18:30] karim_: "BCD data"? [18:30] @karim_ when i installed lucid it dint overwite win7 BCD [18:30] onetinsoldier: I'm on the machine now [18:30] delac: ive accessed my sound preferences but the "edit" tab isnt there [18:30] onetinsoldier: I switched to a vt. I'm not totally useless ;) [18:31] Kraln: cool :) do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [18:31] orangeglo: i thin mic preferences are in input tab [18:31] does any1 know hw to tile windows in ubuntu? [18:31] delac: where can i access mic preferences? [18:31] onetinsoldier: yep. X starts, that's not the problem. I get a pretty purplish background, but no list of usernames, etc. [18:31] orangeglo: you have Input-tab in the sound preferences? [18:32] Hi folks. I just installed 10.04 on a brand new laptop (Lenovo W510). Problem is that this has an nVidia graphics card, and the resolution of the monitor (1280x1080) isn't on the list. I'm using the nvidia driver that it asked to install. Any suggestions? [18:32] Kraln: ok, rename that file... move it out of the way. then try again [18:32] deostroll: perhaps compiz fusion can help you with that [18:32] delac: yes i do. but under devices for sound input all i have is "internal audio analog stereo" [18:32] er... 1920x1080 rather. [18:33] orangeglo: well that sounds right. if you have normal analog mic, that is. [18:33] onetinsoldier: alright. When I did that, I got the pretty purple background on one monitor instead of both, and at the wrong resolution. still no login window ;) [18:33] this might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=470160&highlight=tile+windows although i dont check [18:33] Yo yo yo [18:33] delac: oh ok. so why does my mic not work then? [18:34] Kraln: wel, sounds better. but i don't know why you don't have a gdm login dialog window [18:34] NightlyUser, whts the thing u've to type in the shell for that? [18:34] onetinsoldier: I'm fairly sure that the upgrade broke one of the shared libraries, I just don't know which one. [18:34] orangeglo: is the sound level set to 100% and not muted? [18:34] empathy was complaining about segfaulting in libxml2 before I rebooted [18:34] deostroll: download it via synaptic [18:34] delac: yup yup [18:34] delac: brb delac [18:35] onetinsoldier: any way to revert the last X number of apt installs? [18:35] orangelo I had trouble getting my laptops sound card working right, it has a lot of different speakers here and there and whatnot. I manually changed various parameters in various config files, and it now works perfectly. Google is your friend. Be as specific as you can [18:35] Kraln: you sure everything is fully updated? have you tried... sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade ? [18:35] deostroll: when you download it make sure you get the settings manager with it [18:35] It's the graphics driver that stopping you from getting sound! === sisu_math is now known as moomlyn === V1ntage|eat is now known as V1ntage [18:36] hey i installed impresive using ubuntu software center , but cant find it in applications .. how to add it ?? [18:36] onetinsoldier: only thing that's out of date is the postgres install. updating that now =p [18:36] If it's nvidia it's definitely the driver. [18:36] Bluelf: if you press ALT+F2 and start typing its name does it complete? [18:37] Kraln: roger. that probably won't fix the gdm issue though [18:37] yes ActionParsnip [18:37] Bluelf: then i'd run alacarte and make your own entry in the menu as well as log a bug [18:37] hi.. [18:38] hi everyone I need some help [18:38] onetinsoldier: sec [18:38] but it isnt running when i click run ActionParsnip [18:38] can any tell me how can i make a full backup of my system... [18:38] Kraln: now that you move the xorg.conf file out of the way, i don't know that a reboot would help, but you might try it. probably won't make any difference though [18:38] Bluelf: once you make the menu entry you can copy it to the desktop if you wish [18:38] I have a genius web cam , how can i activate it on ubuntu?

What you should know about though is hidden program user data in Home. [18:40] Bluelf: all throughout the system. In linux apps don't get put in folders the way windows does [18:40] delac: hey there [18:40] Kraln: you might check log files in /var/log messages/syslog/Xorg.0.log files.. keep asking in channel because i'm just one guy and i don't know why you're not getting gdm login. i just did what i could to help with X [18:40] hi, i had ubuntu 10.04 installed and it somtimes get a black screen. it seams to appear rendomly [18:41] Bluelf: just type the first few characters of the command and press tab [18:41] Liara: black screen on boot up?

[18:42] ActionParsnip is it Bus 004 Device 004: ID 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Cammaestro 2.5DU/X-EYE/Ori? [18:42] Liara: which graphics card? Which versin of Ubuntu? and yes your not meant to get a black screen when using it [18:42] Kraln: if its an upgraded system you may want to uninstall the nvidia driver at root recovery console, then reboot, login and reinstall the driver [18:42] ähm dont know [18:42] delac: im using a steel series headset [18:42] Liara: clean install of Ubuntu or upgrade?

[18:43] how with rescue cd? [18:43] delac: ah ok [18:43] orangeglo: it might not use the mic settings at all... [18:43] ActionParsnip: shaem you did not understand my question maybe? I don't want to read a whole website dedicated to printing [18:43] delac: hmmm [18:43] delac: i donno then [18:43] Haly: I don't need the output, you do. Seewhat websearching digs up [18:43] mewshi, try alternativeto.net/ [18:43] ActionParsnip: I'm simply trying to make Ubuntu do something it used to do automatically [18:43] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [18:44] does anyone here know much about usb mic settings? [18:44] Liara: ah ATI [18:44] karim__: uptime [18:44] what? [18:44] ActionParsnip: that is a graphics card line above? from Liara ? [18:44] delac: thanks for the help though :) [18:44] Livingdaylight: I don't expect you to. If you click the link and actually read a little you'd see the printers link on the left. You can then see how compatible your printer is [18:44] ActionParsnip ok thanks doing..... [18:45] I want to check how long I've been on this computer since I turned it on. [18:45] livingdaylight: i use a lexmark printer and i needed to install libstdc++5 which isn't in 10.04 repos [18:45] karim__: ok [18:45] karim__: uptime [18:45] karim__: sudo apt-get install conky [18:45] Sebsebseb: was for whomever was having the nvidia/no login box etc issue [18:45] is anyone aware of Lucid Lynx requiring certain packages to be installed for printers to be detected like it used to?

Always works 100% out of the box [18:46] karim__: conky is nice, tells you about the uptime and some other stuff as well, only thing is it's a bit odd to close it, once its showing on the desktop [18:46] hi i just installed ubuntu 10.4 but there is no irc client in apt nor installed on the system? [18:46] NightlyUser: my old epson 425 has been detected and installed on many ubuntu releases.

Is it normal to have trouble with screen resolutions? My laptop's native is 1920x1080, but I'm not getting that. I'm using the proprietary driver and compiz.

[18:48] Where can i get the Windows Media 8 Decoder for ubuntu/rythm box etc [18:48] is there a way I can specify which arch i want through apt-get? [18:48] ActionParsnip, its like keynote , its for presentations [18:48] Liara: if you got an ATI card, there probably won't be anything under system > administration > hardware drivers, worth a look to see if there is a graphics card driver for you to install though [18:48] Please good souls, can anyone take a look at this and help? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/584674 [18:48] hi I need help on swap partition , just install 10.04 but it doesn't show swap partition at system monitor file system [18:48] Wad: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-xconfig ,set a res (not auto) and click "write to x config file" [18:48] armenb_: if you are running 64-bit, then install the 'ia32-libs' package [18:48] Bluelf: I don't know what keynote is, sorry [18:48] onetinsoldier: it was removed IIRC [18:49] Where can i get the Windows Media 8 Decoder for ubuntu/rythm box etc [18:49] ii ia32-libs 2.7ubuntu25 ia32 shared libraries for use on amd64 and ia64 systems === ubuntu1 is now known as StPiere [18:49] onetinsoldier: yeah you told me that yesterday....but what If I want the 32-birt version of an arbitrary package?

[18:51] Pici: as long as its not here I'm happy [18:51] on uptime, it says 2 users whose the other user? [18:51] hi I am using lucid, I installed "storage device manager" to auto mount my windows drives and now I have 2 sets of drives, how do I remove the duplicate drives from /media/ ? [18:51] once i get auto-complete working ill be able to tell the right user the right thing [18:51] ActionParsnip: that makes our job that much harder [18:51] Karim: run: ps -ef | less ,read the process owner names [18:51] gnomefreak: well, isn't that only for GNOME, KDE and xfce? or does that work for for instance the one called dwm too? [18:51] Liara: ok pastebin the whole output of lspci, and hoepfuly someone else will have a look as well.

[18:51] gnomefreak: A that how to is useless... well at least with Totem. B i already did that long ago and still no avail [18:51] \q [18:51] ActionParsnip, ah its justok , nothing compared to powerpoint 2010 or keynote [18:52] armenb_: go here --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/ do a search on the package name. in the bottom left, download the 32-bit version of it. you will need to install it on the command line with... dpkg -i --force-architecture [18:52] frxstrem: should include any window manager we provide [18:52] Adamror: pidgin here, clean and simple [18:52] Liara: no good trying to get you to install an ATI driver for example, if you don't reallly have that card, for example [18:52] gnomefreak: okay, thanks :) [18:52] I'm just testing out empathy, 1st time i've used it.... it looks really nice [18:52] hi I need help on swap partition , just install 10.04 but it doesn't show swap partition at system monitor file system [18:52] any help guys ? [18:52] frxstrem: np [18:52] gnomefreak: following the howto guide and reinstalling the restrict codecs 2 or 10 times doesnt change the fact that even still things dont work :( [18:52] !pastebin | Liara [18:52] Liara: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

What file type is it etc. [18:53] dominicdinada: or even the link that was given to you from ubottu it will tell you what to install and from where to get it [18:53] gnomefreak: Let me double check because i am sure i have the repos on here [18:53] ActionParsnip: .wmp [18:53] onetinsoldier: I think you're missing my point...I don't want to download individual packages...I want apt-get to handle it all. is this not possible at the moment? [18:53] Dominicdinada: what players have you tried [18:53] Gnomefreak: cool [18:54] sudo -u tomcat \echo $HOME prints /root but i want that to be /home/tomcat , anyone know how to do this w/ sudo? [18:54] it seems that fedora/redhat have a relatively elegant way to handle this problem: using the ".x86_64" or ".i386" extensions on the end of package names [18:54] ActionParsnip: to be honest I am unsure i am importing a network folder into rythmbox and it is saying i need a plugin to continue :/ then it errors and says Windows Media 8 Decoder needed [18:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/438982/ [18:54] ubuntunewbie : swap will not show in filesystem [18:54] Dominicdinada: tried gnome-mplayer it uses w32codecs and may be nicer. You may need to mount the network share to access it effectively [18:54] gnomefreak: I do have the mediabutu repos installed... [18:55] dipu_: what do you mean ? [18:55] ActionParsnip: I do have that for my video but does it handle libraries of mp3s? === OerHeks is now known as Oer [18:55] dominicdinada: did you look at the libs to install from the wiki link? [18:55] ActionParsnip: The shares etc are 100% ok it imports all the files up to this point then hangs [18:55] why does steam seem to lag ?? [18:56] armenb_: it's probably possible, but over my head. [18:56] gnomefreak: I have installed all the libs, and apt files from that link at least 5 times. How can i make that more clear ? [18:56] ubuntunewbie : swap is not filesystem where you can store files ..its extension of memory ..used bu OS [18:56] ubuntunewbie : used by** OS [18:57] dipu_: there's no swap file on this new ubuntu 10.04 installed [18:57] dominicdinada: if it is not working in any media player than you do not have the correct ones or at least not all of them [18:57] armenb_: you might want to look at the following man page --> man apt_preferences [18:57] gnomefreak: Well this origional question was Rythmbox as it offers library support [18:57] apt-get life [18:57] i just download cursor selection, and i cant find it in my applications. do i need to restart? [18:58] dominicdinada: vlc supports most formats [18:58] gnomefreak: I stand corrected on the mediabuntu ... I have the software center added for it but it only has 8 files listed :( [18:58] dominicdinada: i dont have a problem with rythmbox playing mp3 or any other extensions that i have [18:58] Liara: ok quite a lot of Intel hardware according to that, but it does say your VGA is ATI [18:58] dominicdinada: dont use softwarecenter use synaptic [18:58] ubuntunewbie : u mean you did not create swap partition while installing ubuntu ? [18:59] Wavesonics, whats life ? [18:59] 42 [18:59] Hmmm I wish the error gave more details, File name, encoding, etc rather than just a plugin failure/WM8 Decoder needed [18:59] dominicdinada: software center works great for our supported packages but not so well on unsupport packages [18:59] gnomefreak: BLAH i said I stood corrected :) [18:59] spydon: lol [19:00] dipu_: while installing it create a swap partition but i had another ubuntu version install.So it take up 2 of the swap.But when I check at system monitor under file system tab it doesn't show the swap partition at all and my swap partition usage is 0 bytes [19:00] Dominicdinada: you may find its an illegal video tempting you to install some windows virusware [19:00] dipu_: quite confusing , [19:00] Liara: I think you will need to install an ATI driver after seeing your pastebin ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/438982/ ) however in that case it will have to be the exact driver as well, and I am not really that sure what you need to do, since I use Nivida not ATI :) So hopefuly someone else can help. [19:00] !ati | Liara [19:00] Liara: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:01] Does anyone else have 10.04 and Asus P7P77D motherboard ? [19:01] dipu_: making it simple , it shows 7.6GB swap , and 0 byte use which mean it doesn't even use the swap i created [19:01] michelle_: Linux doesn't work like that. Drivers are included with the kernel itself and should 'justwork'. If they don't, you can try a different version of the kernel or file a bug report with all the information you have [19:01] Nightlyuser: any player can play any file given the right codecs [19:01] Audible: no, but may I ask why? [19:01] I'm using the nVidia proprietary driver. Native res on laptop display should be 1920x1080, but the max that I can get is 1366x768. Totally unacceptable! :) Any ideas? [19:01] ActionParsnip: All the more reason to know exactly which file it is I ripped all but a few files in there long ago.... and only have a few i am unsure of [19:01] liara, i use ati ubuntu installed it for me [19:01] ubuntunewbie: Ubuntu automatically manages and uses swap partitions [19:01] ubuntunewbie : yes ... normally it will only use swap when RAM is full [19:01] michelle_: If you remove the module system files, it wont prompt you to install anything, you just wont have any driver loaded (not even a broken one) [19:01] does anyone know how to check firewire and hdmi port work under ubuntu 10.04? [19:02] bluelf: maybe you can help, their issue is that, the screen goes black when using sometimes, so I thought may need to install a graphics card driver [19:02] dipu_: no sometimes it will write to swap for apps like gimp [19:02] CaptainTrek : i see alot of people have problems getting the microphone to work on this motherboard, and i'm one of the included [19:02] where can you download custom cursors? [19:02] ActionParsnip: i know that [19:02] ubuntunewbie : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [19:02] hi again, I have installed lucid, and now I have 2 sets of windows drives in my nautilus, could someone guide me what I can do to set it right ? [19:02] orangeglo: google gnome-look [19:03] Liara: maybe the driver for the card is ok, and its some other issue with you get black screen sometimes [19:03] armenb_: i think what you're looking for is one of those commands that starts like this... apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-architecture" [19:03] sebsebseb, is the graphic card installed ? Liara [19:03] orangeglo: gnome-art gnome-look there are also kde versions of those sites [19:03] ph33r: do you need them? [19:03] ubuntunewbie : for a pc 7.6 GB swap seems too much to me [19:03] does anyone know how to check firewire and hdmi port work under ubuntu 10.04? [19:03] ok cool [19:03] thanks :) [19:03] aeon-ltd: I need one set of them [19:03] how do i see that the driver is installed? [19:03] ubuntunewbie: ho wmuch physical ram do you have? [19:03] Nightlyuser: so saying vlc supports most formats is moot, if the codecs are on the system then deadbeef can play just as many formats as vlc [19:03] bluelf: no Liara hasn't installed a graphics card driver them selves, however heres a pastebin of the lspci which might be slightly useful http://paste.ubuntu.com/438982/ [19:03] ph33r: do you know which one you need, cos one simple mistake could kill all the data in that partition [19:04] Audible: ah, gotcha [19:04] Liara, go to System>administration>hardware drivers [19:04] for graphic drivers use hardware manager [19:04] Hallo, i'm having trouble opening file manager, getting this error in syslog : http://pastebin.com/c0PRZK8B [19:04] soreau thanks [19:04] bluelf: and system > administration > hardware drivers didn't show anything according to Liara [19:04] aeon-ltd: yeah I do, but the thing is, it's showing the same drives twice [19:04] bluelf: as I thought it woudn't if its ATI [19:04] aeon-ltd: and I can't even mount them, looks like a wrong program [19:04] Alright Maybe this will work [19:05] sebsebseb, i did for me check ati site for compatibility [19:05] ph33r: in gparted does it only show one partition? [19:05] ActionParsnip: i suggested vlc because it always downloads all the dependancies needed to play most things, whereas with some players that rely on gstreamer, they don't tend to get the gstreamer-bad plugins needed for certain formats [19:05] bluelf: sure, but they don't know what card they have exactly, I know theres a command of some sort, but don't remember what that is [19:05] aeon-ltd: yes [19:05] aeon-ltd: I will post the screenie [19:05] sebsebseb, oh .. [19:06] Nightlyuser: if restricted-extras are installed then any media player is good to go, not just vlc [19:06] ok hmmm wtf... [19:06] !language | dominicdinada [19:06] dominicdinada: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:07] ActionParsnip: provided you explicitly install the plugins yourself [19:07] gnomefreak: whats the command Liara would use to find out what exact graphics card they have? [19:07] lolwut. [19:07] ActionParsnip: not exactly. i tried all players on some old year 2001 .mov files. none worked, until i tried winff/ffmpeg [19:07] hi, is there any way to launch a program in the current gnome session from a remote ssh session? [19:07] aeon-ltd: http://imagebin.ca/view/EJiEGMFd.html <-- if you see on the left of the nautilus, the drives are duplicated, I don't need those duplicated entries (I do need the drives though :)) [19:08] Onetinsoldier: then you need codecs for those files :) [19:08] sebsebseb: if it isnt shown in jockey-gtk(hardware drivers from system menu) than try the ati site. [19:08] ActionParsnip: yeah.. you are correct [19:08] !ati > Liara [19:08] Liara, please see my private message [19:08] ph33r: lol btw, win 7 panel theme, win 7 window decoration. [19:08] sebsebseb, i think the command is sudo lspci |more [19:08] wtgoogle :P uhhh I installed the xmm2 wma plugin and it proceeds I know that long ago dating back to 1999 -2000ish when you would rip music u would first rip to wma then encode hmmm [19:08] dipu_ aeon-ltd: 2GB , I assign 4GB of swap memory.The problem is I had another hard disk install with ubuntu 8.04 with same 4GB.I created another swap for ubuntu 10.04.Don't know what happen to the installation it auto assign both swap partition messing up mow [19:08] gnomefreak: sure, but Liara doesn't even know what card they have [19:08] aeon-ltd: just the emerald and dockbarx ;) [19:08] Axz: https://launchpad.net/bugs/21410 [19:08] lspci |grep VGA may work or even grep ATI [19:09] okelet: yes, just set DISPLAY and possibly XAUTHORITY correctly in the ssh session's environment [19:09] Liara: use the commands above [19:09] Liara: try them [19:09] gnomefreak: ok thanks :) [19:09] sebsebseb: np [19:09] Liara, it showed my graphic card [19:09] is it possible to manually edit the list of desktop enviroments that is shown on the login screen (with for instance options for GNOME, KDE, xfce etc.)? === Darth_Tux is now known as Darth_Novice [19:09] ph33r: what are the disks named btw? the win ones [19:09] ph33r: where did you grab that theme from [19:10] !ati it says evebt not found [19:10] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:10] Frxstrem: sure, let me dig === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [19:10] ActionParsnip, what do you suggest me? [19:10] oii [19:10] ubuntunewbie :I believe u can use same swap partition will all linux systems ... need not create a new one for installation [19:10] very recently ubuntu stopped playing an online live streaming using an MMS plugin. can anyone help me make this video work http://olangal.com/component/content/article/48-live-tv/1425-asianet-live.html [19:10] trism: like - DISPLAY=":0.0" gedit?? [19:10] Liara, paste the output to pastebun [19:10] okelet: yes [19:10] Liara, paste the output to pastebin [19:10] Deus é amor [19:10] ok, i'll try [19:10] Axz: does thatbug have a fix? [19:10] how to install font in ubuntu [19:10] aeon-ltd: look into the left of nautilus (root/server/nix/leisure) sda1/5/6/7 [19:11] dominicdinada: I made them (emerald) with some copy pastes from here and there [19:11] ActionParsnip, suddenly my file manager wont open [19:11] i installed 10.04 from the netboot image, and it installed a generic-pae kernel, this computer has only 512mb of ram, should i switch to just generic? [19:11] ph33r: how are you mounting them? via fstab? [19:11] ActionParsnip, i dont know if there is fix all i know its weird [19:11] ph33r: it looks good. :) [19:11] Axz: yes, there is a bug for the activity you are seeing === Docteh_ is now known as Docteh [19:12] aeon-ltd: I installed "storage device manager" and that messed up everything [19:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/438988/ [19:12] dominicdinada: thanks, btw I cloned win7 ultimate, got bored of it hehe [19:12] Docteh: yeah, PAE isn't needed unless you have more than 4GB of ram and are using a 32-bit OS [19:12] ActionParsnip, let me guess need to reinstall whole Ubuntu? [19:12] dipu_ , that's the one which I dont know [19:12] ShadowApex1: thx [19:12] dipu_ , so how do I disable them and assign which swap to use ? [19:12] Axz: not at all. Have you tried reinstalling nautilus any. Did you read the bug link I gave you? [19:13] ph33r: never had win7 ult I got 7 prof free from school :/ but run linux on most the pc's [19:13] Action first remove it / then install it again? [19:13] Liara: by the way if you put someones name in the message you send, there IRC client will probably high light the message [19:13] ShadowApex1, do I have any performance loss if I use PAE kernel over generic? [19:13] ActionParsnip, * [19:13] dominicdinada: I have win7 ultimate, don't use it other than games though [19:13] !tab | Liara [19:13] Liara: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:13] So, turns out that anything remotely related to gnome that relies on libxml2 (gdm, empathy, etc) segfaults. Help? [19:13] ubuntunewbie: Swap space is automatically managed. If you don't want swap to be used, then you can delete the additional swap partition that you have [19:13] Axz: what does that mean? [19:13] Daekdroom: I don't believe so. The generic kernel should be fine [19:14] ph33r: you should probably remove it, nautilus can manage paritions on its own, if not you could just use /etc/fstab to mount them at boot [19:14] hi i need help with rhythembox? [19:14] aeon-ltd: how to remove them now? [19:14] ActionParsnip, do i need to remove/install Nautilus again? [19:14] ph33r: Well it is off topic so i will keep it short but 7 is proof that Juggernaut is taking the little people seriously [19:14] Liara, , i dont know for sure but did you try the run file on ati site [19:14] I removed all the programs [19:14] ubuntunewbie : please check documentation at the link i provided [19:14] !ask | lobozoo [19:14] lobozoo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:15] !details [19:15] 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 ..." [19:15] Axz: no needto remove, justreinstall it over the top. Did the bug report I gave give any clues? [19:15] any ideas why 10.04 startup would stay in the "four dots" mode at startup? i think it's at "checking battery state". top shows nothing interesting (or i don't see it), ps xaf's not very helpful.. [19:15] windows 9, even more 7ish than 7 [19:15] aeon-ltd: ok managed to do it [19:15] olaa [19:15] Liara: How new are you to Ubuntu? Ubuntu is your first Linux distro yes? [19:15] ActionParsnip, no the bug i;m having has nothing much to do with the bug you gave me [19:15] sebsebseb yes its my first try with ubuntu [19:15] ShadowApex1 : no command to assign which one to swap ? the problem is it's totally 0 bytes in swap [19:15] now, second question: my emerald theme manager just disappears once I select anything in it so I can't edit any of my themes, any ideas why it's happening ? [19:16] Liara: ok how long have you used it for? [19:16] i left the distribution upgrade thing running and my laptop was in a hibernate mode of some sort when i got back. i had to reboot it and now it's stuck in that four dots screen [19:16] i also tried booting an earlier kernel [19:16] ActionParsnip, now getting this error : nautilus[5647] general protection ip:7fd32ddee13d sp:7fff7297c220 error:0 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.2400.1[7fd32ddc2000+45000] [19:16] And i have reinstalled nautilus [19:16] Liara, oh but u dont know the card no [19:16] hey, my mouse disappears when i type on my laptop and then it takes about 5 seconds to come back, why does this happen and how can i fix? [19:17] Whoever wanted to reduce the options of desktops in gdm, read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187443 ,the desktop files in that location dictate the available dektops, simly move or delete them (I suggest move to allow rolling back) [19:17] bluelf: reminder doing the graphics card driver from website, can be difficult for newbies. [19:17] Kraln: what version of libxml2 is installed? [19:17] ActionParsnip, my nautilus dont want to open up it crashes directly [19:17] sebsebseb: the 10.04 i used 1,5 week, [19:17] bluelf: might have to tell them what to do with the file for the driver and all that [19:17] Axz: did you read the bug I gave you? I've asked you several times... [19:17] ubuntunewbie: Yes, there's no command to assign swap. There are things you can do to change swap behavior, but that's it. You should check to see if your swap partitions are being recognized by the system (e.g. sudo fdisk -l) [19:17] bluelf: sebsebseb: i try to find out the card, give me a minute [19:17] very recently ubuntu stopped playing an online live streaming using an MMS plugin. can anyone help me make this video work http://olangal.com/component/content/article/48-live-tv/1425-asianet-live.html [19:17] siks: i had a problem like that, but i reinstalled instead of working the problem :-/ [19:17] ActionParsnip, yes but its not the same [19:17] ph33r: your gonna need to restart to see results, if its fixed good, if not google how to mount paritions via fstab [19:18] hmm [19:18] aeon-ltd: yeah done that, it's working nice now [19:18] Kraln: what version of libxml2 is installed? and what do you get from? --> ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 [19:18] Shadowapex1: swapon will let you choose the partition for swap. It must be swapfs though [19:18] hi got a permission denied when writing this file > sudo /bin/echo "1737 0078" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2870/new_id [19:18] Liara, if you did a dual boot you can find it from your windows [19:18] any workaround ? [19:18] aeon-ltd: what about my second question ? emeald theme manager seems to disappear once I select anything in it [19:18] Is there anybody who programming notifyosd? Or using that in his programm's?

My internet is painfully slow or i'd pitch in but I can load about half a page in the time it takes to load about 1 on your side [19:20] anyone knows ? [19:20] ph33r: try changing the gtk theme and trying again (to something basic like clearlooks) [19:20] Ngomes: yep. You can use the tee command, or use: sudo -I ,then run the command as you have then type; exit [19:20] ActionParsnip, oke [19:21] ActionParsnip: let me try [19:21] aeon-ltd: did that, no use [19:21] tried stopping compiz too [19:21] echo "la la" | sudo tee /sys/stuff/here?

[19:22] sudo apt-get install xchat [19:22] Ubuntunewbie: sudo swappon /dev/sda2 ,is one example. Your partition name may be different and the partition will need to be in swapfs [19:22] tried :s/ORIG/replace but doesnt work [19:22] what's the command to remove a "non-empty" directory in linux? [19:22] rm -rfv directory [19:22] aeon-ltd: nothing ? [19:22] ActionParsnip: there is no parameter -I [19:22] -f [19:22] Liara: This driver stuff may seem a bit tricky, but its actsulley much worse on Windows, when you want a driver and it hasn't been provided with the OS.

[19:23] Ngomes: sudo -i ,it's lowercase [19:24] proteg: you should probably use /usr/local/lib instead of touching the /usr tree [19:24] aeon-ltd: nopes, from the time I installed lucid, it didn't [19:24] Its kinda on here, on the hard disc kinda, but not 100%...

I don't understand. http://pastebin.com/0TtrktYf [20:07] onetinsoldi [20:07] !sudo > orangeglo [20:07] orangeglo, please see my private message [20:08] ActionParsnip : i have another problem , why my mount drive name is UUID ?

[20:13] orangeglo: did you specify an administrative account during install? [20:13] or after [20:13] Is there a way to force mounted file systems to show up along the right side of the desktop instead of the left? (ie mimic the mac) [20:13] i might not have [20:14] blue_anna: i might not have [20:14] orangeglo: if you didnt then you should be fine [20:14] Anyne know what's wrong ? i have another problem , why my mount drive name show as UUID ? [20:14] blue_anna: but what if i set it to this profiile that im on? [20:14] thank you [20:14] orangeglo: got a different keyboard layout specified in the terminal than you use normally? === pure_hate is now known as fail_hat [20:14] orangeglo: the first user on the system has access to sudo, any user created afterwards would need to be put into the 'admin' group.

[20:15] blue_anna: but when sudo asks me for my password it says incorrect. dont i need to access sudo in order to do certain things? [20:15] orangeglo: What password are you putting in? === fail_hat is now known as pure_hate [20:15] pici: my log in password [20:15] is the ubuntu one music store anygood? [20:16] orangeglo: you'll need it to follow those instructions ... [20:16] blue_anna: im unsure of how to bypass sudo in order to get something to follow my instructions though [20:16] orangeglo: what langauge do you use? did you install in one language and then change to another after? [20:16] blue_anna: nope. english from the beginning [20:16] ross_, what error msg did you get? [20:17] orangeglo: sudo doesnt ask for root passwrod -- it asks for your password [20:17] does any 1 know how to get the drag windows to different workstation fixed? [20:17] blue_anna: im aware that it wants my log in password. and that is what i am giving it [20:17] blue_anna: obviously my log in password works ;) [20:17] I am using lucid, when I open emerald theme manager, it closes, I got this from the terminal, could anyone guide me what's wrong ? http://pastebin.com/D5X8Vizy [20:17] ross_ : http://theindexer.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-10-04-aka-lucid-lynx/ [20:17] hello... I am having a strange issue... when I first turn on my computer every day... for the past couple of days, ubuntu "turns off" the computer, just before entering GDM.... how do I trace this log? [20:18] bradpitt: nevermind, i must have mistyped or something [20:18] Yeah, I have a bit of an issue. Trying to run xampp but my htdocs has the wrong priveliges. I can't seem to change it.. [20:18] on Ubuntu 10.04 [20:18] anyone here have trouble getting their mic to work when they installed ubuntu? [20:18] I switched to the nvidia driver, and now my pc lags when I scroll fastly, any idea whats causing that ? :( [20:18] by the way, I'm madly in love in 10.04. [20:19] I can't get 10.04 to boot once it's installed on my mac pro -- any thoughts? [20:19] orangeglo: I'm not convinced. something is keeping it from getting entered clearly at the prompt when you try to do sudo .. or else you installed another account before yours, and then forgot about it .. or else something very starange with your system/install -- sudo mostly "just works" out of the box [20:19] christopherz: htdocs should be set to the user:group specified in your Apache config. [20:19] great. Tnx a lot DivinusVox! [20:20] blue_anna: i ran linux mint before this. would that effect it? [20:20] alixer: thank you [20:20] alixer : thank you [20:21] ross_ : :) [20:21] orangeglo: Can you paste the output of id ? [20:21] pici: how would i do that? [20:21] hi guys, i have a problem with the printer [20:21] orangeglo: type "id" at the prompt, copy the results, and paste it :) it's only 1 line [20:21] orangeglo: open a terminal, type: id, press enter and paste the line that it gives you in here. [20:21] any ideas about glib ? [20:21] Any idea's ? :( [20:22] when i start ubuntu 10.xx (which i upgraded from 9.xx) it gets to a screen with a purple background, which says Ubuntu 10.04 (i think) and has four dots under it. i can switch to a terminal and run startx, but i'd like to go back to the old graphical login interface. can anyone help? [20:22] is cvs a signed/authenticated package? [20:22] !emerald | ph33r [20:22] ph33r: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz.

[20:22] orangeglo: You aren't in the admin group, so you cannot use sudo. [20:22] Re: NM-applet. it shows up and does its thing on the livecd. but on my installed machines, the applet can't be placed on the status bar and I can't find a way to invoke nm-applet. Any suggestions? [20:22] hmz Xorg seems to go to 100% cpu :( [20:22] Pici: does that mean that I can't use emerald themes anymore in lucid ? [20:23] dupondje: what version of ubuntu 10.4? [20:23] that's bad. your admin group should be "admin" not "adm" [20:23] pici: how can i put myself in the admin group? [20:23] ph33r: It hasn't been supported for a few versions. [20:23] ph33r: you can still use emerald themes [20:23] blue_anna: uh oh [20:23] archangelpetro: how you mean ? Lucid ? [20:23] blue_anna: adm is a separate valid group. [20:23] soreau: but my emerald theme manager closes once I click on it [20:23] Pici: what do I use then ? please don't tell me metacity :( [20:23] fallore : Why don't you make Ubuntu 10.04 Clean Install. [20:24] dupondje: nevermind, i just meant what version are u using? just cuz i haven't upgraded yet :) [20:24] ph33r: If it's an emerald bug, there's nothing we can do because it's unsupported. Did you install any themes yet? If so remove them and see if it still happens [20:24] ph33r: talk to soreau, he seems to think that you can use emerald. [20:24] Pici: but its the wrong group -- and I'd guess its the old group he was in before he migrated to ubuntu ? [20:24] my printer works correctly, but i cannot set the manual feeder. Only with the gutenprint driver i get some sort of manual feeder, in the sense that it wait for me to press the printer button before start to printing, but then print all the pages consecutively.

[20:24] Anyone know what syntax I can use to append the string: $db_url = 'mysql://$user:$pass@$host/$database'; into a file where $db_url is taken literally and the other variables are inserted properly? I've had trouble where the string contains 's. [20:24] soreau: it starts whenever I install any theme, without themes the manager works but what's the point ? heh [20:25] Sam_Fisher: on what? [20:25] I was wondering if it is possible to use activex with ubuntu/linux [20:25] crdlb, 10.04 [20:25] Sam_Fisher: I mean: where is the context menu you want to edit? [20:25] xloosescrewx: Only with Wine and IE [20:26] ph33r: Remove all themes (rm ~/.emerald) then install http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/emerald-themes/emerald-themes_0.2.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb [20:26] crdlb, I would like to add sub to the Copy To and move to menu.

[20:28] Sam_Fisher: you should be able to do something like that with the nautilus-actions package [20:28] xloosescrewx: Yeah, ActiveX is only compatible with IE as it's proprietary [20:28] BlueEagle: I guess i'll have to repartition, since I can't seem to find any other solution. [20:28] michelle_ : sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [20:28] where can i check if the HP laserjet 6p is working under lucid ? [20:29] guntbert: oo, its because he migrated his system from mint linux. I remember using that and the admin group in that linux distro was called "adm" .. migrating to ubuntu, I lost admin privledges and had to boot to the cd to fix it [20:29] is there an easy way to install madwifi without compiling, etc?

Here's my partition information http://pastebin.com/w2PPvWj8 [20:31] blue_anna: I didn't know that (from mint), but please let him keep his adm membership as well :-), its a valid and necessary group in ubuntu too [20:31] CaptainTrek: yes. install ubuntu tweak and change the login settings [20:31] *cry* First day on the job, they let me use linux, but I can't get a decent video mode out of my new laptop. === Prof_BiG_BanG is now known as prof_away [20:31] soreau: didn't work out even then, whenever I click on any theme the manager just closes [20:31] michelle_ : see my private message [20:31] guntbert: ok [20:31] ph33r: Have you restarted compiz and emerald since installing emerald? [20:32] how do you delete ".gconf/apps/rhythmbox" [20:32] soreau: no, how do I do that ? [20:32] soreau: reboot ? [20:32] ph33r: Well, have you re-logged in since installing emerald? [20:32] Evince is unable to open e-mail attachments with spaces in the file name directly. They need to be saved than opened.

[20:34] is there a more efficient MP3 decoder? [20:34] Krishnandu: hello [20:34] Is there a way to force mounted file system icons to show up along the right side of the desktop instead of the left? (ie mimic the mac) [20:34] MAD takes 15-20% CPU here [20:34] ph33r: Also you can try running emerald-theme-manager in your terminal then crash it to see if there's any interesting output [20:34] madjoe: I'm feeling generous today, and gunbert too I think :) sure, go ahead [20:35] crdlb, but right click still just says Move to > Home Folder > Desktop I want to add Picture folders etc [20:35] Imperion: try XCFA [20:35] acerimmer, using irc 4m mob..!! [20:35] blue_anna: thanks, I feel so grateful now... :) how? [20:35] soreau: already did that, http://pastebin.com/D5X8Vizy [20:35] Krishnandu: ok. and? [20:35] ph33r: If you use metacity --replace, does it still happen? [20:35] madjoe: ln -s from to :) [20:35] blue_anna: oh, it's the same syntax as it's for a file? [20:35] ph33r: Ah, I think I know why it's crashing [20:36] hello... I am having a strange issue... when I first turn on my computer every day... for the past couple of days, ubuntu "turns off" the computer, just before entering GDM.... how do I trace this log? [20:36] Sam_Fisher: well, you can't edit that submenu as far as I know, but nautilus-actions lets you add your own entries that run arbitrary commands [20:36] soreau: yeah it still happen with metacity too [20:36] lobozoo: /home - it's hidden by default so you'll have to enable view hidden files [20:36] madjoe: yea [20:36] blue_anna: if I delete a symlink, my original folder will remain untouched, right? [20:36] ph33r: It's probably a bug introduce with latest gtk [20:36] can you tell me how? [20:36] madjoe: yup [20:36] lobozoo: I want to *listen* to music more efficiently [20:36] madjoe: the only real difference is taht the symlink behaves like a file for some commands [20:37] soreau: yep [20:37] What do you know about Xubuntu and Compiz? Especially about their stability ? Are they reliable to use together? [20:37] blue_anna: thank you, I'll be your slave [20:37] crdlb, So I would just open a folder and then access the extra commands? [20:37] soreau: nice, now I can't even do emerald --replace [20:37] madjoe: so like rm mysym will work, but error out for the actualy directory because rm wants the -r flag to remove a directory [20:37] lol [20:37] lobozoo: Places>Home>View>Show Hidden Files [20:37] Imperion: songbird ? [20:38] acerimmer: thanx dude [20:38] ph33r: the only thing I can say is to build emerald 0.8.4 from releases.compiz.org and see if it compiles cleanly. If not I can help you more in #compiz [20:38] blue_anna: ok, let me try it the way you described... I was playing with -t but no luck, of course [20:38] soreau: coming [20:38] how do I get compose keys to work the same in qt, x apps like xterm, and gtk apps ? [20:38] nagydann: xubuntu is intended for lower power/spec boxes. Compiz puts a lot of demand on the system and is intended for boxes with higher specs, especially the gpu [20:38] lobozoo: decoder. [20:38] acerimmer, the laserjet 6p works ? [20:38] why does grub think hd0,1 is an ext2 filesystem when it's clearly ext3 for ubuntu? [20:39] k-rad: it does [20:39] thank you [20:39] lobozoo: i.e. the library which converts MP3 encoded data into PCM in realtime [20:39] lei3: ext3 is just ext2 with some extras [20:39] anyone know how to fix a random kernel panic that doesn't show up in the logs? :) [20:40] acerimmer: glad to see a fellow reddwarf fan [20:40] Imperion: sorry way out of my leage [20:40] blue_anna: yes it works...

[20:41] hehe jeg søvner snart [20:41] Sam_Fisher: you can add commands with nautilus-actions-config-tool [20:42] crdlb: There is no cupsFilter lines in the ppd. [20:42] ross_: guys, guys... I'm not a millionaire.. [20:42] madjoe: ross_ lol :) sure please [20:44] acerimmer: have you used ubuntu one music store yet? [20:44] blue_anna: ok, meet me in the bar in 10...

Anyone care to take a look at it and tell me if it's possible to extend this script to accept * /all files in current folder and something like "2ogg 5 5 (folder)"? http://paste.ubuntu.com/439044/ [21:50] sr_rules__ thank you [21:51] xloosescrewx: all ports are open by default [21:51] also, with a new install, i got 1GB ram is used, is it weird ? or normal ? === chrisVM is now known as chris_V [21:51] hi, is there a way for me to take the current dvd image and incorporate all current updated packages into it? [21:51] bmunger: normal [21:51] bmunger: you'd need to do a respid [21:51] respin [21:51] I am using the Transmission bittorrent program and the port that i am trying to use is closed [21:52] ok respin is what its called [21:52] thanks [21:52] xloosescrewx [21:52] i am trying to remove rtorrent and install it again [21:52] but even i remove it [21:52] i can find it in /usr/local/bin/rtorrent [21:52] Is there a way to install a small footprint ubuntu other than the minimal install disk [21:52] when i do "whereis rtorrent" [21:52] bmunger: how did you install it [21:52] hi all, I did upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 via manager. Now after the login prompt it says cannot start ksmserver, there is an ok buttom if I press it the system logs me out. Suggestions? [21:52] *on how to repair? [21:52] please [21:52] ) [21:52] i did both way, from repository and by hand i guess [21:53] bluag: define by hand [21:53] i mean [21:53] apt-get install rtorrent [21:53] what is the proper way to work with source installations? say if i want to compile and install python from source (that way i assume its not tracked in the package manager?) and then install another package, through the package manager, that depends on python. Will all sorts of fun conflicts and stuff happen? whats the proper way to handle this? [21:53] and i did wget and compiled myself too [21:53] bluag: ok - so that's why it's messed up [21:53] hey how to install hydra in ubuntu 10.04 [21:53] yes [21:53] how i can remove it [21:53] bluag: those to are going to conflict with each other, I have no idea why you compiled it [21:53] So /dev/shm gets automouted and I cannot change the options? [21:53] ~: whereis rtorrent [21:53] rtorrent: /usr/local/bin/rtorrent [21:53] bluag: you'll have to manually remove it by hand [21:53] how i can do that [21:53] hello [21:54] edoceo: why do you want to ? [21:54] hi [21:54] hey how to install hydra in ubuntu 10.04 [21:54] bluag: open termainal, search for every file that "make install" put on your system and manually remove them [21:54] no one?:/ [21:54] That's I how Iike my tmpfs to be mounted, rw,nosuid,noexec [21:54] !hydra | Super-Man [21:54] i am on ssh [21:54] I need help with transmission bit torrent program i cant open a port [21:54] My Gnome just lost it's ability of taking input from mouse and keyboard. I can log in from outside, no load (the system monitor applet is still updating) - i tried DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace & which worked, but it didnt restore input. I connected successfully with x11vnc, but it takes no input. What can I try to restart, I really don't want to kill the open windows now. [21:54] bluag: so ? [21:54] how i can search make install [21:54] :) [21:54] This keeps it secure, as some apps have vuln that can be used to write to tmp mounted and exec (if exec is allowed) [21:55] bluag: when you compiled it - you typed "make install" to install it, you need to find every file that installed and remove it [21:55] can try going into build folder and run make uninstall [21:55] can any one help me [21:55] hey how to install hydra in ubuntu 10.04 [21:55] What happened to the menu on the login screen that allowed one to pick between say gnome or fluxbox etc? [21:55] I have a shell-script that lets me do ffmpeg2theora for an entire folder. Problem is, it just accepts folders as input and the quality controls are "set in stone".

[21:56] I can't think of a single reason to build rtorrent. [21:56] it is ssh access software [21:56] can i please get some help? [21:56] Gun_Smoke: after selecting a login name you should see that option at the bottom [21:56] xloosescrewx: look at your firewall documentation, and learn patience [21:56] does checkinstall still work for 10.4? [21:57] no dear [21:57] its not [21:57] guntbert, Humm.. might have missed it. I like the way things used to be. [21:57] Building Debian package... FAILED! [21:57] xloosescrewx, it's your router most likely. [21:58] xloosescrewx, nothing to do with linux/ubuntu/transmission [21:58] I have looked at my firewall documentation, and the port is opened properly on my firewall, but with transmission it says it is closed. my router has the port opened [21:58] oxidizer, isn't hydra a bruteforcer? O.o [21:58] yaa [21:58] too late, switching to the console and back to tty7 somehow killed x. *sigh* now i got many temp files to find and delete. Why do you guys keep telling me, GNome was stable? [21:58] xloosescrewx, might be 'open' but not pointed at your machine.. keep reading. [21:58] ikonia does checkinstall still work for 10.04? [21:59] what is "pointed at my machine" mean?
