[00:00] o-brown: welcome back! [00:01] o-brown: now, if you want to try to install that again, i recommend you make a new backup of the status file. maybe like this --> sudo cp -v var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status-05-24-2010.good [00:01] nerdy_kid: dd is not a good way to clone an hd to a larger hd. dd works best when the two hds are the same size and geometry. Use cp -a, or rsync, or dump/restore, or tar or cpio instead. Is it a bootable disk? [00:01] has anyone been talking about issues where boxes are not coming back from sleep lately? [00:01] yea mine does that too [00:02] Loshki its an entire windows XP installation [00:02] I swear I have every possible ubuntu bug right now [00:02] blue_anna, did this just happen recently? [00:02] Coded1: I see complaints about hibernations failures fairly frequently on this channel... [00:02] onetinsoldier: ok so if things go wrong, I just have to switch back that file and remove the packages files [00:03] Coded1: you mean the too much anesthesia to come back from sleep problem? no, its never worked [00:03] nerdy_kid: might wanna ask on #windows? [00:03] o-brown: if things go south, all you'd probably really need to do is just copy the good backup you made over the status file [00:03] Loshki oh tsk its a hard drive question, not a windows one ;) [00:03] Loshki, ty, everything was going great until about a week or two ago when I updated 9.10 the box would be lost after sleep then I started geting kernel panics on reboot [00:04] Coded1: um, dunno, consider downgrading again? [00:05] Loshki, it happened before I went from 9.10 to 10.04 just upgraded the packages (not a dist upgrade) but might as well give it a shot [00:05] nerdy_kid: it's not as simple as that. My understanding is that you can't just clone windows systems the way you can with linux. Some anti-piracy thing I gather.... [00:06] nerdy_kid, I think there might be some issues doing that with NTFS as well, there are tools to do that with linux filesystems but not sure about ntfs [00:06] Loshki ahh...im not moving the system from the orignal pc though, just changing the drive... [00:06] why can't empathy do file transfer? [00:06] nerdy_kid: outside my expertise, sorry... [00:06] onetinsoldier: ok well thank very much for your help ! [00:06] that's telempathy, not just plain empathy :P [00:06] o-brown: you're welcome. enjoy! :-) [00:07] Loshki ok :) well i suppose that time will tell if i can do it lol [00:07] onetinsoldier: good job... [00:07] I have a ??? when I try to run the Nvidia X Server Settings I get a message "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." How do I restart it? [00:07] Loshki: thanks [00:07] ElTimo: which netowkr are you connecting to? file transfers work on google talk [00:07] nerdy_kid: might wanna google a bit first... [00:07] nos4a2, CTRL + ALT + BKSPACE [00:07] not on aim, which works with every other instant messenger [00:07] Loshki yeah thanks :) [00:07] k [00:07] How do I turn off mouse emulation for my logitech dual action joystick? [00:08] blue_anna: hey so i think i fixed my admin rights [00:08] orangeglo: nice :) [00:08] Would someone please give me advice on installing the broadcom drivers? I've already gone through what is explained in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx withou much success... [00:08] i used unetbootin to install the i386 desktop version of ubuntu on my flash drive, but my bios isn't recognizing my usb drive. is there a way to fix this? [00:09] blue_anna, i don't want to have to install pidgin, because empathy is the default and i don't feel like making it fit in like empathy does [00:09] where do I do it? [00:09] blue_anna: uid=1000(cody) gid=1000(cody) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),105(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare),1000(cody) [00:09] blue_anna: does that look better? [00:09] hi guys. I've got a core 2 duo, and my second CPU has been showing "0% usage" for a while now.. I'm kinda concerned.. any suggestions, please? [00:09] nos4a2, restart the X session? Just do it ;) [00:09] nerdy_kid, i think 'dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=8M' (where sdX is old and sdY new HD) would copy your disk just fine, though you might be unhappy when you can't use the extra space in the new disk -- and i'm not completely sure [00:09] progre55, why would you be concerned? that's great! [00:10] have you been doing things with it? [00:10] ElTimo: pdgin is a darn good alternative to have as a fallback though, if you find functionality lacking in empathy (like audio / video in msn, or apparently file transfers in aim) [00:10] orangeglo: yup, do sudo echo "hi mom!" [00:10] dancek yeah thats what i need to fix, i heard somewhere that there is a way to fix it [00:10] ElTimo: well, both of them used to show at least some load.. but now the second one is silent.. [00:10] blue_anna: event not found [00:10] nerdy_kid:http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5269738/Hiren_s_Boot_CD_10.1 [00:10] event? [00:10] i know, i like pidgin a thousand times more than empathy, and i hate shuttleworth and company for giving it the axe [00:11] I dont even know what that is :P [00:11] blue_anna: thats what it says :\ [00:11] ElTimo: its still in the repos [00:11] nerdy_kid, if you copy just one partition to another that's *exactly* the same size, that could work and then you could make the other partitions whatever [00:11] i mean, i know it's still developed, but it's not default, so it's not going to get the kind of integration with the rest of ubuntu [00:11] ElTimo: empathy was chosen for its gnome integration. non-gnome apps are pretty much only included when there is no good gnome app [00:11] sorry I don't get it [00:12] dancek hmm ok, yeah i could then resize the partition using windows apps [00:12] ElTimo: pidgin didnt have integration with ubuntu to begin with. its cross platform. a bit hard for it to work the same on windows and linux *and* be integrated into gnome [00:12] nerdy_kid, seriously, do you plan to use the whole *new* HD for windows? [00:12] orangeglo: oo my bad man! oo wow -- it's the exclamation point [00:12] orangeglo: do sudo echo 'hi mom!' instead === \dev\urandom is now known as AndrewX192 [00:13] dancek yeah, its for a friend of mine, if it was mine windows wouldnt even be on it LOL [00:13] Remote Viewer in Lucid can use less colors (like 64). How can I install it in Karmic? [00:13] Anyone would please help mi installing my broadcom wireless card? [00:13] nerdy_kid: that disk should have some pretty easy to use apps for cloning and resizing [00:13] blue_anna: it asked for my password. i tyed it in and it said , Sorry, try again... [00:13] get your password right [00:13] liquidmeson thanks :) ill have to check it out tomorrow, LOST on hulu here :) thanks also to dancek :) [00:13] blue_anna: my password is right! how else would i be on right now?? [00:13] nerdy_kid, a word of advice, tell your friends that you don't know any windows stuff anymore... that has saved me a lot of trouble :P [00:14] dancek lol yeah im gettin paid though :P [00:14] orangeglo: you're sure you didnt fudge the password? :P that's gotta work now, you're in the right group [00:14] nerdy_kid, oh ok then :) well good luck [00:14] Hey, I know this isn't for Kubuntu, but that channel is dead. Does anybody know how to remove the line marker on Quassel IRC client? Searched the options and views...found nothing, That red line sure irritates me :S [00:14] where's everyone elses share for helping you nerdy_kid :P [00:14] !sudo [00:14] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:14] dancek thanks :) [00:14] nerdy_kid, if you gotta do it then I would grab a copy of ghost of tpb or somewhere and use that [00:14] blue_anna: i know its the right password. its the same pass ive used for the past 10 years [00:14] hello. I'm trying to make my laptop as a wifi hotspot. this is the website I found http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/share-you-internet-wirelessly-on-ubuntu/ [00:14] the question is, am I missing something? this method doesn't work [00:14] Slasher` um.... [00:15] nerdy_kid, linux and windows dont mix well [00:15] smft... next ? Ubuntu Software Center is not in the menu... can I get it there? Ubuntu Studio 10.04 [00:15] !nvidia [00:15] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:15] how do i stop my joystick from acting linke a mouse? [00:15] Coded1 thanks :) [00:15] np [00:15] blue_anna: when it asks me for my pass it doesnt let me type it in the line that it asked for. i have to hit enter and type it below. could this mess things up? [00:15] gotsanity, pull its tail! === reid is now known as Guest77565 [00:15] Coded1: sure they do. [00:15] off to LOST -- bye all! [00:16] orangeglo: when you first enter the sudo command, it gives you a new prompt, for to enter it the password. does the name there match your current username? [00:16] Coded1, joysticks have tails? [00:16] is it possible to make a group and chown a folder to that group? [00:16] can anybody here help me create a wifi hotspot? [00:16] blue_anna: ya it is the right name [00:16] gotsanity, does it have a flexible thing coming from the back of it off your desk? [00:16] sorry, tired .. my english is hurting [00:16] :) [00:17] mm [00:17] so, is it fine that my second CPU is not showing any load? like, 0% usage.. [00:17] nos4a2, sudo apt-get install software-center [00:17] ah thanks [00:17] blue_anna: okkkkk omg. i had no idea that it wouldnt show up when i typed it. [00:17] blue_anna: it echoed, " hi mom" [00:17] apn; for things like resizing ntfs its kinda wacky unless you know of a better way other than ghost? [00:17] orangeglo: ooo good :) [00:17] blue_anna; hah yay! [00:18] anyone? [00:18] Pirate_Hunter: i don't see why not. you might want to use the 'chgrp' commnad. but chown could be used [00:18] blue_anna: so where to go from here? did you have this issue with 10.4 as well? [00:18] orangeglo: did you save that link for the isntructions we found earlier? cause I've had to reboot since then [00:18] Coded1: gparted is just fine for ntfs. [00:18] afroman, click the wifi icon, >create new wifi network [00:18] blue_anna: >.< [00:18] orangeglo: once we walk through it together with you, I'm doing the same thing to mine :) [00:18] Where are the program icons stored? [00:19] blue_anna: i didnt save it :\ [00:19] onetinsoldier, hmm just tried chown but it outputs that the user doesn't exist that is why I asked I dont wish to create a user but add the group to that folder will look at chgrp [00:19] orangeglo: just a sec, I'll scan my history [00:19] apn; never used it myself if nerdy_kid comes back I will let him know [00:19] blue_anna: ok cool :) [00:19] apn, never used it for ntfs parts [00:19] does anyone know how do i stop my joystick from acting like a mouse? [00:19] How could I check if a package is installed, then do something, else do something else? [00:20] Pirate_Hunter: roger. if using chown, i think you'd do it like this... chown .grp_name [00:20] liquidmeson: like on this website? http://bigbrovar.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/share-you-internet-wirelessly-on-ubuntu/ [00:20] basically if (package) { // do this } else { // or this } [00:20] in shell [00:20] Coded1: it works fine. There is a separate distro called gparted as well, whose sole purpose is to edit partition. In ubuntu it will do fine with ntfs-progs package. [00:20] gotsanity, by modifying xorg configuration (sorry, i can't tell more exaclty) [00:20] Hey, I know this isn't for Kubuntu, but that channel is dead. Does anybody know how to remove the line marker on Quassel IRC client? Searched the options and views...found nothing, That red line sure irritates me :S === tien is now known as jove [00:21] apn; now I know, and knowing is half the battle ;) [00:21] dancek, thanks for the response, however the joystick isnt even listed under xorg.conf === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux === moa is now known as moaa [00:21] onetinsoldier, will try [00:22] anybody? [00:22] orangeglo: how is your spanish? I only saved a different page in spanish language because I didnt think I'd be doing this with you still [00:22] gotsanity, any recent xorg does some autoconfiguration on top of or instead of xorg.conf et al [00:22] apn; its not that I don't trust the linux utils I just don't trust MS at all [00:22] orangeglo: I mean I can translate it, but you'd probably want the reference [00:22] hello, does anyone know how to install "ISO" direct to the system without burning to DVD/CD ? [00:22] weird its not in my history [00:22] So guys, first I installed ubuntu, second i installed windows, then i went through the process of restoring ubuntu grub. But, it just now boots straight into ubuntu, it doesn't give me a list with grub or anything. [00:22] blue_anna: my spanish isnt good enough to understand what its saying :\ [00:23] jove, google linux loopback device [00:23] oo I found it! http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-change-mouse-cursor-in-ubuntu.html [00:23] coded1: how to run it ? can you give a tip? [00:23] Pirate_Hunter: roger. you can use chown to change both a user and group ownership all in one show. for example, if i have a file that is owned by root and is group root and i want to change both to my user, then i do... chown onetinsoldier.onetinsoldier ..to change just the group, i would do... chown .onetinsoldier [00:23] onetinsoldier, chgrp did the trick thanks I also learnt a new command [00:23] jove, wait you want to install linux from an iso to your computer? [00:24] Pirate_Hunter: cool :-) [00:24] jove: "sudo mount -o loop name.iso /where/to/mount" [00:24] yes Coded1 [00:24] anyone know how I can get the sessions menu back on the login screen if it just decided to go on strike for some reason? [00:24] anyone know how to have grub display the list on boot? [00:24] jove to the same drive? [00:24] it just loads straight into ubuntu [00:24] onetinsoldier, that is what I was missing the dot/fullstop before the name and it was picking it up as user [00:24] Pirate_Hunter: you're welcome [00:24] uli3: u have to have more than 1 OS to get a list [00:25] is there a slightly more technical Ubuntu forum, or might anyone know why a call to glibc backtrace() works fine on 9.10 but segfaults on 9.04? [00:25] microlith: #ubuntu-devel [00:25] acerimmer: i do, i added one as well [00:25] uli3: sudo update-grub [00:25] to update the list [00:25] blue_anna: i guess just read me the terminal commands? thats all that it really was right? [00:25] acerimmer: yeah i did that [00:25] microlith: or that might be ##gnome [00:26] blue_anna: they're about ubuntu development, and glibc != glib [00:26] acerimmer: it added windows [00:26] could someone tell me how to restart the nvidia x-server? [00:26] uli3: then the only thing i can think is that your default timeout is too short. google for the fix [00:26] acerimmer: actually, i should get rid of that, it found xp itself [00:26] jove; not entirely sure what you want to do but I think you might want to run the installer for a linux distro from inside a running linux desktop? [00:27] the ubuntu provided drivers for broadcom wireless cards are not working for me... would someone please offer any advice? [00:27] microlith, 9.04 has glibc 2.9 whereas 9.10 has 2.10.1, so it's probably something that was fixed in between those versions [00:27] cyl; worst case senario is ndiswrapper [00:27] uli3: comment out /etc/default/grub/GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [00:27] acerimmer: rebooting [00:27] hrm [00:28] Coded1: jove: or install from usb. alternatively, through nfs share. [00:28] orangeglo: you already did step one. step two translates as "(cd /usr/share/icons && sudo tar -zxvf /full/path/to/icons_pack)" [00:28] Coded1: I see, but my card is listed as working.. and a friend of mine who has the same hardware said it worked for him [00:28] uli3: then update-grub [00:28] bukayoo: alright, rebooting [00:28] cyl; what chipset is it? === onetinsoldier is now known as onetinsold_away [00:29] CyL: you will have to list your card (chipset, exact) and driver you are using. Try with command "lspci -vv" and pastebin its output === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [00:29] CyL, you can check to see if the driver is loaded using "lsmod" [00:29] orangeglo: step three is "sudo vi /usr/share/icons/default" and step 4 .. well you can see that pretty clearly in the documentation .. you know the name of the theme right? [00:29] apn, Coded1: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [00:29] blue_anna: hrmm says no such file or directory [00:30] orangeglo: step 3 ? [00:30] testing 1 2 3 [00:30] blue_anna: step 2 [00:30] orangeglo: I should have said "sudo vi /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme" [00:30] CyL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368699 [00:30] orangeglo: then you got your path wrong :) [00:31] orangeglo: where is the file, in the directory you're in right now ? [00:31] blue_anna: meaning i typed it wrong? [00:31] apn: I'll cheack, thanks [00:32] CyL, I think I found the same thread as apn, but if not give it a look http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309760 [00:32] blue_anna: is this to get your mic working? or to change pointer style? im sorry :| [00:32] orangeglo: pointers :) I thought that was the objective [00:32] blue_anna: no it is! hahah. i just remember throwing out two questions into the channel [00:33] blue_anna: haha lemme find that packet [00:33] orangeglo: oo. so where's the icon pack you downloaded? [00:33] :=) [00:33] si there an easy way to disable all power saving entirely? [00:33] *is [00:34] Coded1: system-Zpref-Zpower management .. set everything on both first two tabs to "never" [00:34] blue_anna: its in my downloads folder [00:34] Coded1: oop ->prefs->power management [00:35] blue_anna, ty but it still doesnt seem to help, it was set up like that last night and this morning it was dead as a door nail [00:36] orangeglo: cd into that folder to make this easier [00:36] orangeglo: then do [00:36] orangeglo: (cd /usr/share/icons && sudo tar -zxvf `rube -e "puts File.expath_path('that_filename')"`) [00:36] ** ruby [00:36] blue_anna: what does cd mean? i feel dumb for asking this [00:37] ooh man :) [00:37] change directory [00:37] is sudo an acronym? [00:37] Super User Do Over? [00:38] Does anybody know were i can get hands on 10.10 beta or alpha [00:38] orangeglo: cd ~/Downloads && (cd /usr/share/icons && sudo tar -zxvf `rube -e "puts File.expath_path('that_filename')"`) [00:38] aeon-ltd: I think it's like "do as su" .. su is the command to switch user to a different account [00:39] orangeglo: again ruby, not rube :P dammit [00:39] man [00:39] Does anybody know were i can get hands on Ubuntu 10.10 beta or alpha? [00:40] tough to write this up in a failsafe way :) [00:40] I installed synaptic from command line but cant start it. Same for Chromium [00:40] SteamInc: try google [00:40] Aeon i am trying [00:40] their is no solid download site [00:40] I don't seem to be able to change the cursor-theme. is that normal in lucid? [00:40] Is there a system administration tool for ubuntu similar to yast on SuSE? [00:40] aeon-ltd: So it's actually "switch user and do" ;-) [00:40] Drakeson: no it's not normal. [00:40] How do i exit x server? [00:41] Drakeson: make your changes, log out and back in [00:41] kr3w: you mean stop it completely? change to runlevel 3 on the console [00:41] how do i do that exactly? [00:42] SteamInc: You can talk about 10.10 in #ubuntu+1 [00:42] SteamInc: i don't think they've released the isos, not sure how phoronix has one though [00:42] !maverick | SteamInc [00:42] SteamInc: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - See http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/336 for announcement - Developer summit: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS [00:42] Ive noticed that many people have it on youtube. [00:43] blue_anna: ok i typed in step 2 and it said that it put it there [00:43] blue_anna: what did it say after you typed in that last command [00:43] blue_anna: and was that step 2? [00:43] acerimmer: did so, even after reboot the "normal cursor" is still unchanged. other cursor modes (e.g. when it changes for window resizing) actually change, though [00:44] kr3w: ctl+alt+f1 (through f6, your choose), and then log in .. then do it .. I think it's init 3 or runlevel 3 or something, look up runlevel in ma to get a feel for that [00:44] *man [00:44] meh [00:44] orangeglo: step two was the long command we just did.. step three is [00:44] blue_anna, kr3w: runlevel 3 is meaningless on ubuntu [00:44] orangeglo: "sudo vi /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme" [00:44] Drakeson: try changing themes to see if cursor alters. Other than that i don't know what to try. [00:44] Yo guys Alpha is coming out June 3 [00:45] blue_anna, kr3w: runlevels 2-5 are all "run a desktop manager if it exists" in the debian world [00:45] maco: is that true? [00:45] fail to execute child process "synaptic" ( no such file or directory) do i just try sudo aptitude install again? [00:45] SteamInc: Please discuss 10.10 in #ubuntu+1 :) [00:45] blue_anna: yes [00:45] blue_anna: what happened for you after step 3? [00:45] Just telling u guys if u wanted to know [00:45] maco: so ubuntu server installs and runs on runlevel 1 by default? [00:45] blue_anna: no it runs at runlevel 2 [00:46] blue_anna: theres no desktop manager installed on server, so obviously one can't run ;-) [00:46] orangeglo: after step 3 is the fourth step exactly as it says in the instructions [00:46] blue_anna: ubuntu /always/ runs at runlevel 2 unless you screw with it [00:46] okay so the answer to my question is? [00:46] how can I kill a zombie process? [00:47] progre55: kill processidgoeshere [00:47] !kill | progre55 [00:47] progre55: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[00:47] h00k: as it's a zombie process.. [00:47] blue_anna: aye [00:48] progre55: kill -9 should do it as well [00:48] blue_anna: though like i said, ubuntu server doesnt include X to start with [00:48] acerimmer: thanks [00:48] Drakeson: result? [00:48] maco: why are there rc5 scripts that aren't in rc2 if it defaults to rc2? sorry just that, that's fascinating to me [00:48] h00k: but it's not doing it :) === beej666_ is now known as beej666 [00:49] blue_anna: not sure. could be weirdness in a few packages. they *should* all match by default [00:49] hey wtf ..how do i mount a cdrom or iso... [00:49] h00k: as I'm saying, it's a "zombie" process, so I cant kill it.. [00:49] is the only way to restart?? [00:49] grendal_grime: please watch the langauge, acronyms count as well. [00:49] I'm looking at it, I was wrong .. they are the same -- I just saw it as different because I'm so used to thinking about it as different [00:49] :P [00:49] blue_anna: did you get yours to work?

[00:50] I'll try that) [00:50] hola [00:50] blue_anna: well i typed in steps 2,3. i'm still not sure as to what step 4 is. [00:50] orangeglo: oo I just realized, I told you to use vi -- probably a bad idea [00:50] well ...no i have a cd in the drive i cant mount it. [00:50] blue_anna: hahah okk [00:50] you have to kill the parent processes to kill the zombie [00:50] perikal: hola :) q tal? -- va a #ubuntu-es [00:50] grendal_grime: I usually use the -t iso9660 or whatever to mount optical media [00:50] in system monitor, choose view->dependencies [00:50] . [00:50] blue_anna: im using an x11 file. is that the type your using as well? [00:51] orangeglo: tell me where it comes from and I'll use that one [00:51] i use to just ..mount /dev/cdrom [00:51] quit [00:51] but ummm that is obviously not going to work [00:51] :P later I'm using mac pointer icons [00:51] hmm...anyone knows what happens when my inode numbers are all used i'm? i'm dealing with millions of files here...it's only a matter of time before it becomes billions [00:51] gnome-look.org [00:51] grendal_grime: Why not.

[00:52] * AaronM notes to enable anti-hibernate thing while doing a dist-upgrade next time [00:53] AaronM: Good call :) [00:53] <_blackwater_> **** [00:53] i ssh'ed into another box, then killed the resulting process -9 on that other box, ending with a frozen terminal on the first box. How can I get out of that "broken" ssh without killing the ssh process? Is there some shortcut or other trick, to get back to the shell? [00:53] well its in a vm enviro..it looks like a regular cd to the envir [00:53] perikal, vente a #ubuntu-es, somos llenos allá también [00:54] grendal_grime: Yeah but is it a disc in your drive? [00:54] is the add-apt-repository in lucid, part of a particular packaged? [00:55] I have a directory that only the root | .foobar (group which I belong to) is allowed to access, the permission is 770 yet when running an application that requires to read one of the folders in that directory I have permission denied I have to change permissions to 777 to be able to fix the problem however wouldn't that mean any user is able to access that directory now? [00:55] a lot of Ubuntu's GUI is python, right? [00:55] is there a package for lucid providing vmlinux? i may be overlooking the correct source. i'd like to avoid building it if possible... [00:55] Pirate_Hunter: chmod o+x [00:55] TannerF: the ubuntu-specific parts, yes [00:55] TannerF: the gnome upstream parts are mostly C though [00:55] Pirate_Hunter: on directories or they cant be traversed [00:55] ahh === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux [00:57] Ganymede: When you run out of inodes you can no longer add new files (with ext2/3/4). You'd have to mkfs with more reserved inodes (no way to increase the number in an already created FS). [00:57] how could I add the session menu back to the login screen, if it's decided to take a vacation without my leave :P [00:57] blue_anna, didn't get what you meant by "on directories or [i]they cant be traversed[/i]", can you explain? [00:57] foxmulder_, well the way this has always worked in the past. I point the virtual box to connect the dvd drive to the iso. Vbox guest additions basically. Then i mount the cdrom drive..and install the guest additions. [00:57] Ganymede: Well, I guess if you don't mind the bleading edge you could convert in place to btrfs which allocates inodes dynamically. [00:57] hey [00:58] hello everyone [00:58] grendal_grime: I guess my lack of vm use and skills halts me here.\ [00:58] Pirate_Hunter: like, if the directory that you can't traverse with your app is /path/to/foo , then do "chmod o+x /path/to/foo" [00:58] how is that possible, i remove my user-pw through "passwd -d", but still need a password to login? [00:58] progre55: try this [00:58] progre55: ps aux | awk ‘{ print $8 ” ” $2 }’ | grep ‘Z’ |awk ‘{print $2}’ |xargs kill -9 [00:59] grrr grunt... [00:59] what do you disscus? [00:59] Pirate_Hunter: 774, not 770 [00:59] figured it all out by the way :/ [00:59] or .. whichever it is for execute :) [00:59] Hey, I know this isn't for Kubuntu, but that channel is dead. Does anybody know how to remove the line marker on Quassel IRC client? Searched the options and views...found nothing, That red line sure irritates me :S [00:59] how is the security number calculated? like how does it become 777 or 770? [01:00] Jayd3e: Do you know how to convert a number from octal to binary? [01:00] how do i get 10.04 to stop making my gnome-terminal opaque D: [01:00] !permissions | Jayd3e [01:00] Jayd3e: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:00] its binary, 4 three digit binary numbers [01:00] thanks [01:00] It is a bit mask in fact :) [01:01] MPX_: /join #quassel [01:01] does anyone here use cairo-panel? [01:01] Hey Jordan! Thanks! [01:01] MPX_: You're welcome. === greenfish_ is now known as greenfish [01:02] just installed lucid, how do i browse my shared network folders on ubuntu 9.10? [01:02] !anyone | orangeglo [01:02] orangeglo: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:02] orangeglo: success? [01:02] hey guys. i recently upgraded to lucid. my dust theme has a thin gray border on left and right. somebody know whats going on with this? [01:02] blue_anna, thanks for that info 774 is not correct I assume its because I require the execute permission which is needed for accessing the actual folder, I wonder if their isn't a way to bypass that i.e. be able to have apps read config files from the directory without letting anyone else be able to read it or even access it? [01:02] just installed is equivalent to when it was released [01:03] problemi con plug-in flash su ubuntu ultima release , a chi posso chiedere [01:03] Pirate_Hunter: read != execute [01:03] blue_anna: no :( i guess im just a bit confused as to know if im doing the right thing [01:03] blue_anna: after i type in those commands how do i know i typed it in right? [01:03] blue_anna: or if it did what it was supposed to do === ezra is now known as Guest32221 [01:03] are the exit/minimize/maximize buttons located on the top right of a window by default in Lucid or is that just my theme? it is super weird if they changed tht to the default [01:03] Pirate_Hunter: revert it with "o-rw o+x" -- that should be exactly what you want. they can't read in the directory, but they can traverse it .. [01:04] that's what I was triyng to tell you the first time [01:04] what package/source provides vmlinux in 10.04? or am i required to make it? [01:04] Jayd3e: It is theme controlled, by default, the theme uses them on the left [01:04] ic, is that standard for linux? [01:04] What's the name of that nice .PDF reader from adobe? I can't find it on 10.04 anymore.... [01:05] h00k: ic, is that standard for linux? [01:05] wad, Adobe Reader? [01:05] Daekdroom, yeah, that one! What happened to the package? Synaptic package manager can't find it anymore. [01:05] blue_anna, Sorry I didn't get it the first time, that makes sense now thanks [01:05] !dropbox [01:06] wad, add the partner repo [01:06] TEEN FOR ME? [01:06] Jayd3e: I'm not sure what you mean. Gnome 2.30 included in Lucid allows themes to control where the buttons are [01:06] orangeglo: that's kinda a good point. Let me tell you another way to execute commands on the filesystem as root. do "sudo nautilus" .. that will open a file browser with root privledges. then you should be able to uncompress the package in the download directory and move the unpacked part (only) to that directory from earlier .. then double click on the index-theme file and edit it with gedit .. and it'll be gui and natural [01:06] to you [01:06] marco69: what?

[01:09] I'm digging ubuntu [01:09] Jayd3e: or look at the standard gnu binaries, or hit on an empty prompt in bash [01:09] greenfish: he was referring to ubottu, the bot :) [01:09] ahh ;) [01:10] qos: What theme are you using? [01:10] well i did. but i would need to look at it again. and since you only gave me terminal prompts i didnt really understand it outside of the commands [01:10] orangeglo: you want the unpackaged stuff from that file, but not the file itself, in /usr/share/icons [01:10] foxbuntu, Dust [01:11] blue_anna: where usr= my user name? [01:11] qos: Try changing your theme. Are you sure it's not just part of it? I use Human personally so I don't know. [01:11] blah. ubuntu is irritating me right now ;) ubottu: where do i get vmlinux? i don't want to build it on this slow hardware [01:11] orangeglo: no that's the actual /usr folder on the filesystem [01:11] I am a new user for ubuntu [01:11] foxbuntu, Other themes are not affected. But Dust was ok before... just want it back :) [01:11] abdouxx: I welcome you to #ubuntu-beginners [01:12] blue_anna: am i able to access that usr file by navigating through nautilus? [01:12] qos: Probably part of the updated version of that theme. Perhaps? [01:12] I loved it and has a lot of first use [01:13] foxmulder_, no. it just broke. even tried the newest version of it. stilll no success :( [01:14] orangeglo: normally no. but if you go to a terminal type "sudo nautilus", that gives you a root nautilus window that you can literally do anything to the filesystem -- just be careful not to accidentally mess anything up :P [01:14] blue_anna: [01:14] do I need to install samba on lucid to browse my 9.10 machine? [01:15] eross: I dont know samba, sorry [01:15] qos: Try reinstalling that theme maybe. [01:15] eross: you can always start remote desktop on the 9x machine . but .. I dont know taht either [01:15] eross: connect over ssh to another linux machine instead [01:16] blue_anna: do i need to extract through nautilus in order for it to bypass root? [01:16] cody: what? sorry, I seem to have gotten involved in too many threads :P === ubuntu_ is now known as Fozo1655 [01:16] blue_anna: hahaha its ok. so im in nautilus right now [01:16] eross: places->connect to server. choose ssh as the protocol. it will use sftp and be quite nice [01:17] cody: I was talking to orangeglo about using nautilus [01:17] thanks [01:17] does anyone know how do i stop my joystick from acting like a mouse? [01:17] blue_anna: oh sorry. this is me [01:17] blue_anna: it used my log in name i guess [01:17] blue_anna: that must have been confusing! hahah [01:17] cody: :) [01:18] Any KQLives players here? [01:18] umm, so now, you're not bypassing root -- anything you launch or do through nautilus now, is done as root -- you *are* root now [01:18] blue_anna: so im in nautilus. now do i need to access my downloads folder through nautilus in order to extract it to the icons folder? [01:18] Jordan_U, thanks for the answers [01:18] blue_anna: because i tried doing it by hitting system, places, download. and extracting it to icons that way. but it said that i didnt have permission [01:18] cody extract it in place, then drag the results to the other directory like you would normally [01:19] ok [01:19] foxmulder_, workaround is to use a similar theme without borders ... lol ... === Fozo1655 is now known as Fozo [01:19] Ganymede: You're welcome.

[01:22] blue_anna: well its in their and i went to system/preferences/appearance and now i dont see what i dragged in -_- [01:22] edit the index.theme file like it says .. but do taht by double-clicking the file in nautilus, or better yet, right click and select edit [01:22] anyone want to try something? [01:22] jzacsh: do a ls -l on the /etc directory [01:23] tech1: i am already. ;-) [01:23] Jayd3e: and then what? [01:23] Jayd3e: specifically, what do you want me to look at in /etc [01:23] jzacsh: find out who owns it, I meant to say ls -l on root dir [01:23] qos: So it is just part of the theme itself? [01:23] Jayd3e: root owns it [01:23] hi [01:23] Jayd3e: but that shouldn't matter, because i was running as root user [01:24] does anyone know how do i stop my joystick from acting like a mouse? [01:24] jzacsh: idk, just a thought [01:24] any thoughts why cp -rpv wouldn't work to move a directory as root ? [01:24] I'm new to ubuntu, I need to copy some sgi efs cd contents on ubuntu [01:24] foxbuntu: no, a bug makes the normal theme ugly. as a workaround they are offering a version without borders (the part with is affected by the bug) [01:25] as far as i know efs is not supported [01:25] any idea ??? [01:25] mindoverflow: use a windows install (even i without a key) -- just to unencrypt the files, and copy them over.

[01:58] blue_anna: do you have a link to that site. i wanna bookmark it [01:58] vic20gmr_[lucid]: you're installs are safe but u do need to config grub for access. u should NOT be reinstalling.

[02:02] *ignoring* [02:02] vic20gmr_[lucid]: Well, it looks like you will have to wipe grub (temporarily) to fix this... [02:02] acerimmer: :) thanks [02:03] cybrocop: if u know the package name, there's a wiki or source site which details all info [02:03] undecim: wut about this: [02:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9161171 [02:03] and is there a tool for managing SSL certificates (ie adding new CA/root certs) or shall I just do it manually ? [02:03] acerimer: yes, I know the package name. [02:03] cybrocop: google the package name + ubuntu or +lucid [02:04] blue_anna: i dont mean to bother you. but i just have one more question. on step 4 it says, change the line inheris to name of my icon. how am i able to edit that text? === [uNF] is now known as luchenbill [02:04] vic20gmr_[lucid]: Yes, that is what you need to do. That is what I was searching for [02:04] hi [02:05] Nick07: greetings [02:05] vic20gmr_[lucid]: the "fixboot" command from Windows. Do you have a XP recovery cd? [02:05] ahh ok, ill try it, and tell u how it went [02:05] i cant seem to get rid odd cfs no mater what i try please help [02:06] Nick07: "cfs"?? [02:06] orangeglo: doubleclick it from the root nautilus window you created with "sudo mautilus" :) the gedit that laucnhes will run as root too [02:06] * wildbat greets the channel ^^/ [02:06] something cryptography [02:06] vic20gmr_[lucid]: Just don't use the "fixmbr". That will wipe grub. fixboot should fix your problem without wiping grub. [02:06] orangeglo: when you're done with that window, close hte terminal or hit control-c in the terminal to end the gdm session it starts for root [02:06] anyone else having an issue with UNR & Flash? I am trying to watch a video stream (many different ones) and it keeps telling me that I need to install missing plugins (Flash). When I go and check/try to install it tells me I already have it installed.

[02:07] Dj_FlyBy: You have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? [02:07] orangeglo: you're clicking on the index.theme file in the folder -- there's a line break in that instructions that confused me too [02:07] !flash | Dj_FlyBy [02:07] Dj_FlyBy: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:07] get exit status 2 [02:07] not really on topic for this channel Sasquatch7. ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:07] undecim: yes restricted is installed and so is adobe flash [02:08] onetinsoldier: My apologies.

[02:08] Dj_FlyBy, try reinstall it then [02:09] orangeglo: were there any others? yeah [02:09] undecim: u said use "fixboot", is that something i type into terminal? [02:09] cfs removal [02:09] ? [02:09] vic20gmr_[lucid]: You need to type "fixboot" into the recovery console from a windows XP CD. [02:09] blue_anna: it just says to edit the text. how else do i access it without double clicking? im confused [02:09] ahh [02:09] ok [02:10] brb [hopefully] [02:11] orangeglo: are you in need of learning a command line text editor? [02:11] onetinsoldier: ya probably. if thats what i need in order to edit the command line... i feel so dumb for asking these seemingly elementary questions .__. [02:11] orangeglo: what are you trying to do [02:11] also, a link to the instructions you are trying to follow would be useful as well [02:12] http://www.ubunturoot.com/2010/05/how-to-change-mouse-cursor-in-ubuntu.html [02:12] im trying to edit my cursor [02:12] i'm on step 4 [02:12] orangeglo: no worries. i could teach you real quick how to use 'vim' for simple text editing. i know just enough to be dangerous with it myself. all i know is simple editing with it. nothing more [02:13] onetinsoldier: i would love any help that you would offer [02:13] wildbat: thanks, that actually worked perfectly. I wonder if maybe when I did the upgrade from UNR 9.04 to 10 if maybe it borked the flash install? [02:13] orangeglo: sure. one moment [02:13] orangeglo, vim is pretty powerful, but you could pick up nano in 10 seconds [02:13] Dj_FlyBy, it could have get the default alternative flash file reset [02:13] just nano and then Ctrl-O to save and Ctrl-X to quit [02:13] done [02:14] jar349: onetinesoldier has offered to teach me some vim [02:14] orangeglo, now you know nano [02:14] orangeglo: what does 'dpkg -l vim' show? [02:14] orangeglo: don't worry about asking beginner's questions, we all started at zero. It might be wise to think 2 more times before a) pressing return b) asking a question. I wish you much fun with hacking your "command line" *grins* [02:14] wildbat: well it is working now; thanks. [02:14] Dj_FlyBy, you are welcome [02:14] hmw: haha thank you [02:15] wow there are instructions to fix the compiz cursor thing? [02:15] does it also fix qt apps?

[02:58] Sasquatch7: parallel or alternatively? [02:58] how to disable usb port in Linux? [02:58] BooVeMan: parallel if possible. [02:58] virtualbox or vmware [02:58] BooVeMan: I know wubi does alternatively. [02:58] BooVeMan: ok cheers. [02:58] Sasquatch7: vitrulbox is pretty snappy and free [02:58] BooVeMan: what would you recommend? [02:58] !best [02:58] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[02:59] virtualbox as its free software - but if you cant life without USB in the virtual box that would be vmware [02:59] BooVeMan: virtulbox can do usb [02:59] Hi! How can I install the opensource drivers for ATI cards? (I want to see if 2d rendering is faster with opensoruce vs fglrx) [03:00] never tried virtual pc from MS (y work the other way around - windows within ubuntu [03:00] gogeta: nope - not the open source version [03:01] BooVeMan: 8i download the deb from sun it does usb [03:01] BooVeMan: in his case the exe [03:01] thats not the open source edition wichis in the ubunut repros [03:01] could anyone tell me what to mount my partition at? I am installing over an old distro and have another os on here already. I want to over write sda1 (ext2) I chose use as Ext2 file system and think the mount point should be "/" but am unsure [03:01] BooVeMan: oh [03:02] BooVeMan: never use them being there never up2date with suns versions [03:02] anyone know the mount point i should use? [03:02] kyle_: anywhere you whant it to be [03:04] well i want it to completly erase the other partition without harming the other os. what is the difference between "/" and "/boot" [03:05] kyle_: oh your talking gparted [03:05] hello everyone, I am trying to set the mask on the smb.conf so that when I create a directory in the samba share, only the owner can delete or alter contents. I thought that was the sticky bit. would the mask be directory mask and what would be the octal? [03:05] If you're installing the entire OS to a single partition then mount it to / [03:05] yeah the install wizard type thing that comes on the live cd [03:05] kyle_: / is your root partation your only need that and swap but its a good idea tomake a /home for personal data [03:06] does anyone know the pastebin server code for using webboard there [03:06] kyle_: so your mount point would be / [03:06] kyle_: can't you choose to install both side by side? (moving the slider) [03:06] ok thanks. what does the /boot mean? and i have swap space from a prevous install. how does that home space differ from the home folder that is created with the install? i have heard of backing up the home folder but didn't really understand how [03:07] which is better in performance KVM or Virtualbox?? [03:07] should I go for nvidia-common , nouveau , or .bin & .... from nvidia.com ? [03:07] kyle_: /boot is used to store the kernel its relly unnedded [03:07] ahh ok. thanks for the help!! I will see if this works ^_^ [03:07] on a geforce 3 ti not recognized on Preferences/Hardware Drivers after installing all modaliasses [03:08] WHY would those idiots choose empathy over pidgin? Pidgin works a thousand times better than empathy. what the fuck.

[03:10] ElTimo: na na good byw [03:10] ElTimo: You're welcome to remove empathy and reinstall pidgin. [03:10] windows has its purpose but linux is optimal [03:10] someone with nvdia xp ?

[03:14] that... shouldn't be. 777 is generally not what you want. Assuming you own it, chmod u+w is all you should need [03:14] unmount it [03:14] lol [03:14] is the filesystem mounted read only?

[03:16] just curious [03:16] ElTimo: did that after installing them and activating the current one using jockey [03:16] perilous, but i'll try [03:16] ElTimo: still didn't work [03:16] hello [03:16] any chance you have an acl set for the file?

[03:16] ya [03:17] huh [03:17] ElTimo: ya i did [03:17] did you use jockey? or did you do sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185? [03:17] Tim_: That means it has "extended attributes" apparently [03:17] Tim_: what are you using to edit it? This is pretty weird behavior for a file. You obviously can edit it [03:17] Tim_: what is the output of ls -l [03:17] Tim_: If it were a + that'd be extended security info [03:17] er, can manipulate it [03:17] ElTimo: jockey [03:17] Need some serious help.

With that increase, comes an increase in the breadth of hardware to which Ubuntu is exposed on a large scale. [04:13] jimmyz80: use whatever distro you feel meets your needs best [04:13] jimmyz80: So, Ubuntu is a victim of its own success. More users = more hardware varieties = more bugs expose themselves.

[04:16] jimmyz80: Although I don't know your needs, I put it to you that you're better off w/ Ubuntu (for now) because it has one of the largest user bases, is one of the most user-friendly distros, and therefore will attract loads of newbies.

[04:26] sweb: [04:27] sweb: For example, to archive directory 'foo' but exclude 'foo/bar', you would use 'tar -c foo --exclude foo/bar > resulting-tarball.tar', I think.

[04:33] Toaday: what's hard to understand ? [04:33] scottplyr777: You can feed file lists straight from find to afio. Afio handles FIFOs & other non-standard filesystem entries much more elegantly and reliably than tar. Afio can also handle extended attributes more readily than tar. [04:34] will it fix my vlc though?

[04:46] ikonia: there were none in there (on Lubuntu ) so added one from synaptic (going from nvidia.com failed for me) then it appeared in hardware drivers [04:46] Rodensky: there is a command, it needs to be setup [04:47] skimat, go to synaptic and get the 96 drivers [04:47] ikonia - before i fomatted i could start it with a command, it is an app [04:47] anyone?

[05:19] schultza, yes, I just did an update of the critical items. I didn't do a full update because I didn't want to take the time to download the kernel and java. [05:19] ikonia: so, if I understand you, since what I really want is a pppoe service/daemon then what I have now will not work? [05:19] conky -c ~/.conkyrc [05:19] schultza, I did. same error. The upgrade karmic update ran fine though [05:20] I've had an empty file and with something in it. [05:20] greezmunkey: depends, if that process is to be shared by multiple people, no, if that process is to be launched by multiple people, yes [05:20] schultza: that is not a valid file. [05:20] greezmunkey: (at a very high level) [05:20] ikonia: ok, I get it. What I am really searching for is a pppoe server *daemon* [05:21] greezmunkey: probably a better description [05:21] ikonia: thank you for clarifying that for me :) [05:21] bastidrazor: this is the current file now. http://paste.ubuntu.com/439185/ [05:22] schultza: no, you need a TEXT section and things under TEXT telling conky what to display [05:22] ikonia: I just realized, if "user-space" is user space, what is the rest of the "space" called!?! [05:22] ugh... gotta go to bed. I'll get back to trying to get this to work tomorrow, and if I'm still having problems, well, yeah. seeya in a day, I guess. [05:23] bastidrazor: ok, i will continue looking. [05:23] schultza: http://pastebin.com/cXZq3JFS this is my current conkyrc file [05:23] bastidrazor: i will try it. [05:24] How do you get your volume control back in Ubuntu 10.04? I added the indicator applet, but it just has a stupid envelope icon with no way to configure it. I'm using Alsa. [05:24] hello, how can i sync a folder which isn't in documents, with ubuntu one? (i'm using 10.04) [05:24] bastidrazor: thanks. it worked. [05:24] coldboot|home: gnome-volume something, try typing that into an alt+f2 box, see if it completes [05:25] actionParsnip: Yeah, so how do you get that on Gnome Panel? [05:25] ikonia: hey! check this out: The -F option causes pppoe-server not to fork and become a daemon. The default is to fork and become a daemon. [05:25] schultza: http://conky.sourceforge.net/documentation.html and view the variables and config file settings pages to tweak it to your needs. [05:25] bastidrazor, thanks. ill take a look [05:26] coldboot|home: The only way I've found to change volume in 10.04 without pulse is to use alsamixer from the terminal [05:26] ikonia: forking pppoe server... [05:26] IdeAlEss, what is the exact error you are getting. Please use http://paste.ubuntu.com [05:26] Someone is gravely retarded for regressing volume control in Ubuntu. [05:26] How do I disable the annoying bass sound when backspacing too far in xterm/xchat [05:26] schultza: i spent an hour or so setting things the way i wanted. it can be fun. [05:26] coldboot|home: You could set up some hotkeys to change the volume maybe, or install a package from debian, though I haven't looked into it much [05:26] I've been using Linux for 10 years and nobody's ever fixed this stupidity. [05:27] coldboot|home: when you run it, it should run in the ntification area afaik [05:27] coldboot|home: you may have to manually make a startup item to run it [05:27] undecim, this is great, how can I get this to stay as default on my panel? I tried adding as a custom application lanucher but it dosent work like it hsould. [05:28] actionParsnip: Doesn't work, probably a problem with Alsa as my volume control and volume settings didn't work before, either. [05:28] abuayyoub: Add it to your startup applications [05:28] undecim, thanks man you're awesome. [05:28] bastidrazor, what is the speed, that's not coming up on mine... [05:28] coldboot|home: actionParsnip 10.04 sounds controls look for Pulse. They won't work with Alsa alone [05:28] Hello? [05:29] >.> [05:29] coldboot|home: If you have AWN, you can add the volume applet there. [05:29] I always uninstall Pulse because it's broken. It makes my speakers pop constantly, I have no idea why they keep force installing it every now and then. [05:29] undecim: I don't use whatever AWN is. [05:29] well anyway ikonia, thanks for your help :) [05:29] Can I get help :o [05:29] Pulse didn't even used to work at all.

[05:42] mixxit: Do you have any kind of external media you can boot? Maybe a network boot, if you have a server you can use [05:42] can i make a partition from grub?

Results: 2 errors, walltime under an hour. I copied down everything on the screen. Can anyone help me? Is this computer for the trashheap? [05:47] how are you doing the dist-update? [05:47] hello all. not long ago i had something very bad happen that caused me to have to reinstall Ubuntu. though it might have been something i did wrong. wel, now, i've done it again, but this time i know how to reproduce the problem. seems like a serious bug to me. atm, i'm looking at having to reinstall. it'll take a bit to explain === Toby_ is now known as Guest97721 [05:47] though = thought* [05:47] actionParsnip: quality assurance [05:47] IdeAlEss, how are you doing the dist-update? [05:48] ejv: i suggest you read your EULA [05:48] hello can someone help me install clearlooks theme... i have downloaded it but it doesnt seem to install correctly [05:48] schultza, through the update manager. [05:48] who has time for that actionParsnip ? [05:48] -_- [05:48] ejv: it will make what you are saying be clearly moot [05:49] ejv: and if you don't like it, don't use it [05:49] im just grumpy, i was working on something, then ZAP! crash... *facepalm* [05:49] oh i like it, but if this is LTS stability... then... *cringe* [05:49] IdeAlEss, after the update. I want you to go back through Software Sources. Click Other Software and disable all those. then try the following command in terminal. > gksudo "update-manager -c" [05:49] is there a virtual keyboard on ubuntu [05:50] ejv: if karmic was ok then use that, its supported well into next year [05:50] this is not easy for me to explain. i had to reinstall the other day. thought it might have been something i did wrong, but i believe i just reproduced the bug and don't feel it was my fault. i can't log into gdm, just like the other day. i will attempt to explain [05:50] anyone having problems with fglrx after the update to 10.04? [05:50] Anyone here have any ideas about Suspend/Hibernate problems with laptops?? [05:50] IdeAlEss, when i mean disable, i mean uncheck. [05:50] dont do it abuayyoub ;) [05:50] bluelf: sure, theres one as part of the default install. try: dpkg -l | grep keyboard [05:50] abuayyoub: What is your problem? [05:51] schultza, I have already disable the other software sources. I also just used the package manager to "reinstall" gnome-desktop. As I was typing this the update calculation just completed [05:51] schultza, it looks like the mare for re-installation and applying it solved whatever bit had gotten flipped. [05:52] undecim, whenever I try to use suspend of hibernate the compute never wakes up. Sometimes it works but it takes a good 10 minutes to recover. Othertimes It just locks up and I have to hard reboot. [05:52] IdeAlEss, hang on. I just found an old bug with both ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop installed at the same time causing this. You said you were no longer using xubuntu-desktop. If no one else on that computer is using xubuntu-desktop. Uninstall that first and then try again. [05:52] ever since i updated to 10.04LTS, my graphics card driver stopped working. it won't install and it won't install. seems to be a problem with dpkg [05:52] schultza, will do. That was next on my list. Thanks for the help!!! [05:52] is there any way i can completely reinstall dpkg? [05:52] abuayyoub: Did you take a look at the system logs to see if there is anything of interest? [05:52] IdeAlEss, good luck with the update... but keep in mind to uninstall xubuntu-desktop next time around [05:52] sigh [05:53] a thousand screws later and the disk is sata [05:53] not ide [05:53] schultza, I will. thanks! [05:53] so this wont work! [05:53] tripelb: If it's always getting errors in the same spots, and not getting worse, you can tell the kernel not to use those blocks of memory with badram [05:53] IdeAlEss, you're welcome. [05:53] undecim, no, i didn't. How would I go about doing that? [05:53] Hello. Do all deb packages installs/uninstalls get logged? [05:53] I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch [05:53] even after rebooting [05:53] trying to install fglrx, i get this error: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" [05:54] actionParsnip, where do i find it?? [05:54] abuayyoub: run "tail -n 15 /var/log/syslog.1" after suspend/hibernate. [05:54] the error messages are logged in my /var/log/syslog file [05:54] bluelf: run the command and you will get a package name, run that in an alt+f2 dialogue and it will run [05:54] actionParsnip, tried it not working [05:55] mixxit: well, if memory serves me well, laptop sata drives and desktop sata drives have the same connectors. If you have a desktop with sata, that might work [05:55] mixxit: wubi ? [05:55] it's the other way around [05:55] im installing to an ide [05:55] its an old laptop [05:55] if i go into the diversions file and delete all entries related to fglrx, and then try to install it, it returns error exit status 2 [05:55] Jordan_U: so I should do the memtest again then? It got 2 errors in different spots. I heard the memtest should run for hours. [05:55] tried wubi but not enough memory to do the intall boove [05:56] need to create an ext partition from windows or grub somehow [05:56] mixxit: have you tried using wubi ?

[06:07] there's no "properties" option for it [06:08] Loshki: ok, thanks. i'm gonna try and salvage this first, but i guess i mgiht have to do that [06:08] ubninit i think [06:08] hmmm, not used to irssi here [06:08] file not found [06:08] mixxit: are you sure your mobo supports boot from usb? [06:08] no it definately doesnt [06:09] Loshki: mixxit: using grub to chainload should work around that. But now I don't think that the mobo supports reading from USB with the capabilities that grub has [06:09] could i do something with the one on hd0,0? [06:09] mixxit: Just try "rootnoverify (hd1,0)" and see if that works [06:09] goes to the next line undec [06:09] IdleOne, - need your help [06:09] boot? [06:10] mixxit: no, not yet [06:10] mixxit: now "chainloader +1" then "makeactive" then "boot" [06:10] mixxit: And you should start booting the USB. Make sure to choose the install option, not the try, because you probably don't have enough ram without a swap partition [06:11] hiexpo: with? [06:11] my screen just went black [06:11] eek [06:11] mixxit: Doh... I think I just gave you bad instructions... that rootnoverify line should have been (hd1), not (hd1,0). [06:12] reboot and try again [06:12] Jordan_U: Thanks I'll do it again. How long should it run? [06:12] its booting but the screen is black [06:12] oh there we go [06:12] mixxit: If it seems to be loading Ubuntu, then it worked. [06:12] (hd1) is the MBR which I should have said, but (hd1,0) might boot as well [06:12] when i do chainloader +1 it says the selected disk does not exist [06:13] I log out of x-windows. then, if you wait long enough, you here the little drum roll sound at the gdm screen. well, i didn't wait long enough before switching to a vt. there were errors on the vt concerning sound. now, i can't type but a few chars into the gdm password dialog box before it disappears. can't get in. this is the second time this has happened and causes me to have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch [06:13] IdleOne, - awhile back i got suspended from unumtu forumsfor posting a fix for youtube-dl when it was broken and i never understood why because its in the repos so didn't make anysence no i cant log into to some things i need to do there can you help me fix that or is that outta your league ? [06:13] mixxit: Well, try each of those commands again after running rootnoverify (hd1) and try again. [06:13] i did it with hd1 this time yep [06:13] mixxit: If that doesn't work, then grub can't read USB on your mobo [06:13] thats what gave me he messsage [06:13] ctxfi: Preparing pcm playback failed!!! PLL initilization failed!!! that's in my syslog, alot of times, a lot. it was on the vt like several times [06:14] ok can i do something with the one on hd0,0? [06:14] maybe overwrite the kern/init with something else that will let me create an ext partition? [06:14] mixxit: What's on the first partition of the drive right now? [06:14] hiexpo: #ubuntu-forum would be the best place to ask [06:14] its ubn [06:14] but when i boot it it comes up with a kernel panic [06:14] ok thanks [06:14] hiexpo: sorry #ubuntuforums [06:14] Any of you guys here familiar with Atheros cards? [06:15] message is [06:15] MeatCurtains: a little, whats your question [06:15] mixxit: Are there any other partitions on the drive? [06:15] no files system could mount root, tried ext3, ext2, ext4, fuseblk [06:15] hi .. i m planning to install fedora on my machine to dual boot with ubuntu .. any precautions ? hope i can use the same swap space .. [06:15] kernel panic not syncing: fvs:unable to mount root fos on unknownblock(8,1) [06:15] no there is space for it though [06:15] i just need to get to cfdisk or something! :) [06:16] i want to config the boot menu, but there is no menu.lst in /boot/grub, where is it? i'm on ubuntu 10.04 [06:16] I'm having massive issues holding a wifi connection. It works fine in windows, but as soon as I boot Ubuntu it wont hold the connection but a few minutes and when I connect its less than 1.4kbps [06:16] dipu: nope, just remember to not partition 100% space to leave some space for ubuntu, use custom partitioning on the second install to use the same swap space [06:16] !grub2 | brianlions [06:16] brianlions: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:16] so the only partition is one with ubuntu from unetbootin? [06:16] yeah [06:16] that is a win32 drive [06:16] unetbootin installed it to c: for me [06:17] its ntfs i believe [06:17] Can you still boot to Windows? [06:17] sure [06:17] actionParsnip, sure .. thanks .. one more question .. what if my ubuntu home is mounted on a separate partition ..can i use the same home for fedora ?? [06:17] dipu: you should be able to use the same swap partition between the two [06:18] mixxit: If you can make another partition, (fat32) install ubuntu on that with unetbootin, I think I can help you. [06:18] dipu: they should not need separate sawp partitions [06:18] swap* [06:18] creating the partition now and will reboot [06:18] any idea actionParsnip? [06:18] onetinsoldier, ok thanks .. what about home partion [06:19] onetinsoldier, i mean what about the partition mounted as /home in ubuntu .. is it safe to use it for fedora also ? [06:19] dipu: i wouldn't try that. however. if fedora has anything like ubuntu where it asks you if you want to import a user found on the Ubuntu OS, you could try it === fred_ is now known as Guest55770 [06:20] dipu: try at your own risk :D [06:20] onetinsoldier, :) .. i will just have a root and swap for fedora [06:21] alright i have a tiny 500mb fat32 partition (hd0,1) [06:21] im booting unetbootin now [06:21] no filesystem could mount root [06:21] apasih [06:21] kernel panic again [06:21] dipu: i'd imagine o, i've never done a shared home like that personally but it'd be interesting to try [06:22] hello [06:22] hye [06:22] priwe [06:22] mixxit: The fat32 needs to be big enough to install ubuntu with unetbootin [06:22] mixxit: You need to install ubuntu to the fat32 partition and boot it. [06:22] how can i install ununtu to it [06:22] Are Atheros cards natively supported under Ubuntu? [06:22] thats my problem in the first place! [06:23] MeatCurtains: depends which model [06:23] actionParsnip, its probably risky ...because lot of applications store personal data in ~ [06:23] mixxit: With unetbootin [06:23] MeatCurtains: well, which atheros chip [06:23] im try to setting my desktop under KDE login but when i click to get new wallpaper the msg come out is http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml failed [06:23] I'm looking for some help with Xorg. I recently compiled my own kernel with KernelCheck and am now having display issues. Occasionally, X will crash and I'll have to reboot to get my display back. Also, I can't get my computer to suspend when I close the lid. I have checked LaunchPad and have come across some similar issues but nothing have a fix that works. [06:23] somebody here can help me nt?? [06:23] but unetbootin wants an ext3 partition [06:23] thats what is kernel panicing [06:24] dipu: but technically they are the same app, but slight differences in the way they are compiled may cause breaks / settings corruptions. I'd try it though, it may pay off and save having to have 2 homes ;) [06:24] xs2ubuntu: wassu[p? [06:24] mixxit: No, unetbootin couldn't read the NTFS, and so couldn't find the files that contained the Ubuntu filesystem [06:24] actionParsnip: Thanks, I'll look in a bit here and see if it needs a driver. [06:24] !hcl | MeatCurtains [06:24] ohh i see [06:24] MeatCurtains: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:24] you mean install the installer [06:24] gotcha im on it [06:24] mixxit: Installing unetbootin to a separate fat32 should let it boot [06:24] mixxit: yes. [06:24] MeatCurtains: theres always ndisgtk if all else fails [06:25] Hi. can anybody say why i don't get headphone output from my new ubuntu 10.4 install?

[07:01] actionParsnip: No. I want to run x apps on the windows guest and show up on the ubuntu host. [07:02] ! [07:02] bobthemilkman: oh like seamles virtualbox them?

[07:02] bobthemilkman: i suggest you install 'iptraf' and run it on both machines and watch it, while doing the pings of course [07:02] The idea is that I need to test windows capability through cygwin, and it seems silly to use multiple X servers on the same machine.

[07:15] hmm [07:15] mixxit: Yup [07:15] Stranger-2: use alacarte [07:16] crocket: irsii just plain works and has a lot of scripting built-in, you hardly have to rely on any external script anymore [07:16] actionParsnip, command line config files please [07:16] mixxit, what is ur problem exactly i thing i know something about it [07:16] Gnea, I narrowed my options to between irssi and epic [07:16] i want to install linux on an old pc with no usb boot or cd and only windows to work from [07:16] Stranger-2: not sure, sorry Yuo could create the folder then analyse the system after then create commands to create that end [07:17] i used unetbootn and it got so far but it needed an ext2/3 partition and none could be created from windows [07:17] sure [07:17] crocket: epic works, but many of its themes have been abandoned. many servers, like the freenode servers, have had code upgrades that have been known to confuse epic. irssi handles it. [07:17] crocket: I would say, try both and see which one you like best [07:18] Gnea, what are themes? === rsc___ is now known as rsc- [07:18] ok [07:18] crocket: they change the way the client looks, like instead of having a solid blue-bar, it could be a different color, along with other color changes [07:18] crocket: some add various functionality extensions [07:19] Gnea, I didn't think I ever had themes in CL irc clients. [07:19] actionParsnip: I can't seem to force vesa video. it does it once but fails on try two [07:20] undecim: how small? [07:20] mixxit: I'm trying to find that out right now... [07:21] mixxit: All I know is that old mobos can only read so far into the drive until they're at a certain mode. [07:21] undecim: wait a minute..... this can create ext3! [07:21] crocket: o.O oh wow, well they made them for ircii and epic (the epic themes were pretty nice) and they've made some for irssi, but like I said, they're pretty useless for irssi [07:21] mixxit: No, it has to be fat32 for unetbootin [07:21] undecim: but the kernel panic message said ext3 [07:21] Yea, I made taht mistake with the FAT32 XD [07:22] Gnea, do you mean irssi people don't have their own themes? [07:22] mixxit: 1 question - do you want to keep windows? [07:22] It's looking for the ext3 that is on a file within the fat32 that unetbootin installs to [07:22] not really but if i lose it we are screwed === cbosak is now known as ViperBorg__ [07:22] we/i [07:22] crocket: they do, and you can use them, but irssi is more about feasibility and functionality [07:22] mixxit: unetbootin will only read fat32, but it puts an ext3 in there in a file that Ubuntu can read [07:22] Gnea, what are differences between irssi and epic4 and 5? [07:23] maxxist: I thought so as well - I'm in the exact same position - but IF you have a floppy drive - you are all set [07:23] crocket: can't say for sure, haven't used epic in years [07:23] undecim: so it wants the c: drive to be fat32? [07:23] crocket: but in those days, if I wanted things like autologin to services and such, I needed a script to do it. irssi has that sort of stuff built-in. [07:23] ok [07:24] mixxit: The first partition on the drive won't necessarily be the C: drive. It has to be the first partition on the drive, must be fat32, and lets make it 16 MB [07:24] mixxit: I'm not sure how far the mobo can read early on in the boot process,but 16 I think should work [07:25] undecim: ok making now [07:25] mixxit: what I did is - grab an old floppy - but the plop boot manager onit and made this thing boot my flash - worked like a charm - now its installing aa netboot kubuntu :-) [07:25] mixxit: Ahh... I just found a number. It should be able to read up to 512 MB... 16 is fine, it will hold the kernel and initrd. [07:26] undecim: minimum size is 33 [07:27] BooVeMan: i wish i had a floppy :P [07:27] brb [07:27] mixxit: so you have a floppy drive but no floppy? [07:27] undecim: wont let me move it to the front of the drive [07:28] mixxit: HA you don't need a floppy: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html#noinstall [07:29] this should you enable to boot form your flash and repartition/reinstall you disk [07:29] Yo yo yo [07:30] Hi! [07:31] Hello guys, I got an Nvidia 8800 GTS card and the driver version i use is (195.36.15) Nvidia released a new version (256.25, in 21 may) What is the easiest way to upgrade? my hardware driver does not detect the new version [07:31] My computer is having weird slowdown issues after upgrading to lucid. Can someone help me troubleshoot the issue? [07:31] Kine: you may get it with the nvidia vdpau ppa. They keep up pretty well [07:32] ActionParsnip: could you please help me set this up? [07:32] mixxit: You will need to move the XP partition first, then create the partition at the beginning. [07:32] :-D [07:32] Kine: there are guides all over the web dude. I have even advised it on the ubuntu questions forum [07:33] undecim: move it before i create the mini? [07:33] mixxit: yes [07:33] The problem might have something to do with the display adapter (Radeon 9200), Ive tried both the "radeon" and "ati" drivers, and while "radeon" seems to work a bit better, the problem persists... [07:33] undecim: k [07:33] ActionParsnip, im sorry to bother, thanks anyway ill look it up :) [07:33] Ileden: if you use proprietary drivers you may want to uninstall then reinstall them with a reboot in between [07:34] ActionParsnip: not using proprietary drivers. i think. At least I haven't installed them from administration->hardware drivers. [07:34] undecim: it's doing the move now, going to grab a coffee :) [07:34] ActionParsnip: I switched only between "radeon" and "ati" by editing xorg.conf [07:34] Kine: normally I would but getting that sort of stuff whilst ircing on my phone will take longer than you can find a guide [07:34] mixxit: k [07:35] is there some easy way to make a new $PATH directory? [07:35] ActionParsnip, I understand [07:35] Ileden: hmm, they are the open drivers so should be ok. You could try reinstalling the package they come from [07:36] Ileden: i'd also check for bugs relating to the ati chip you are using [07:36] karrot: If you only need it while in the command line, you can add it to .bashrc [07:36] ActionParsnip: ok, how do I do a reinstall without losing my video in between? :) === ecsi is now known as Ecsi [07:36] Ileden: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename [07:37] Ileden: you can get the name using: dpkg -l | grep ati | grep server [07:37] ActionParsnip: I've tried looking at the bugs, might be affected by 568988... however, using the provided PPA to fix didn't help, so maybe not. [07:37] undecim: what exactly do I put in there? [07:37] Ileden: you may benefit from: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:37] karrot: I have my ~/.bin folder added to my path by putting this line at the end of .bashrc: PATH="$PATH:~/.bin" [07:38] Gnea, I think irssi is more user friendly than epic5. epic5 doesn't have help file. [07:38] ActionParsnip: ok, it's "xserver-xorg-video-ati" i gather. Should i try reinstall before the reconfigure of xserver-xorg? [07:39] Ileden: yeah reinstall it then run the command. Might make things nice [07:39] ActionParsnip: oh, btw, i should mention the slowdown appears only after I've used the system for a while, which is weird. tried looking at memory consumption of applications to find a mem leak, but seems ok to me, lots of free memory. [07:39] Crocket: irssi + guake = win [07:40] ActionParsnip: I'll try doing those, thanks! [07:40] Ileden: as soon as the slow down happens, run; dmesg | tail -n 20 ,see if you get any clues [07:40] Hi, I have a problem of the monitor turning off during use on 10.04 [07:40] ok thats setup [07:41] undecim: install to E:? [07:41] ActionParsnip: ok. [07:41] mixxit: no [07:41] I've turned off monitor sleep and screensaver to not effect. Any help would be appreciated [07:41] mixxit: Copy the kernel and initrd to the new partition [07:41] undecim: okies === rsc___ is now known as rsc- [07:42] mixxit: 1 sec, let me look at the syslinux config on my drive that has unetbootin on it... [07:42] 1 sec is over [07:42] any one configured dual monitor with nvidia-glx ... the monitors are with diff resolution and i have problem .. #lucid [07:43] undecim: okies ubninit and ubnkern are waiting on e: [07:43] errr... crud... [07:44] how do I make totem not try to stay on top of everything? [07:44] mixxit: Alright, load the grub command line again. === varun is now known as varuntaliyan [07:45] Eveninsky: if you read the manpage, is there an option for it to start minimised? [07:45] mixxit: Which Ubuntu version is this? [07:45] 10.4 [07:45] mixxit: Which edition I mean? Desktop, server, mini, or alternate [07:45] mixxit: or netbook [07:45] netinst === varun is now known as varuntaliyan [07:46] is the name in unet anyhoo [07:46] Eveningsky: you could even go as far as to use alltray to keep it out of the way === varun is now known as varuntaliyan [07:47] ActionParsnip. No I mean that when there is a video playing it wants to be always on top. If I click another window, the other window becomes active, but totem stays in front of it so I can't see anything. I want it to keep playing but move to the background like any other window would. [07:47] Eveningsky: oh I see [07:47] mixxit: k, let me grab that iso and look at the syslinux config then === Petskull__ is now known as Petskull [07:47] ActionParsnip, how can I switch between joined channels in irssi? [07:48] i dont see a syslinux for it [07:48] so does anyone have pointers on how to debug my lcd on my laptop, losing signal during use? I've looked at the powersave and suspend logs, which seem normal [07:48] Eveningsky: there may be an option / pref in totem to always be on top (which is also what SHE said) [07:48] ActionParsnip, it's probably in the manpage too, but I haven't found it yet. [07:48] just ubnldr.exe and ubnldr.mbr [07:48] Eveningsky: let me dig [07:48] mixxit: hmmm... maybe it's just kernel and initrd... I'll see. [07:49] Eveningsky: seems its a plugin enabled by default [07:49] ActionParsnip, I could have sworn I saw it in the preferences a couple of installs of Ubuntu Studio ago, but I don't see it there now. [07:49] undecim: want me to try grub while you do that? [07:49] sure [07:50] Eveningsky: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596846 [07:50] ActionParsnip, sweet. I found it in plugins. [07:50] Eveningsky: cha-ching! [07:50] ActionParsnip, That's why I thought I saw it, because I was messing with plugins. [07:50] hello [07:50] Np man, glad you got the gold [07:51] hi [07:51] ActionParsnip, :) [07:52] !hi | duytruong [07:52] well it found it in find this time! [07:52] duytruong: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [07:52] I spent Jolicloud's XChat, but you ? [07:52] undecim: well it found it in find this time! but message: 'invalid or unsupported executbale format' when i kernel=/ [07:53] ActionParsnip, That's one of the problems with running a geek operating systems. In a commercial OS, once the plugin was installed it would almost certainly appear in the obvious location of preferences. === tedr0ck is now known as tedrock [07:53] thanks for pointing it out [07:53] Eveningsky: its not a geek OS. Its just different to what you have used for so many years before [07:53] mixxit: Okay, this will be easy... [07:54] mixxit: In grub, you need to type "root (hd0,0)" [07:54] Eveningsky: for me its obvious but I've used linux a while now [07:54] undecim: did that already! [07:54] mixxit: then "kernel /ubnkern" [07:54] Funny, seeing me coming from Vietnam, is very pleased to know [07:54] mixxit: then "initrd /ubninit" [07:54] mixxit: then boot [07:55] undecim: can't get past the kernel and wont let me init without the kernel [07:55] mixxit: what's it say on the kernel? [07:55] undecim: 'invalid or unsupported executbale format' [07:56] ActionParsnip, no it's a geek OS. I finally made the switch about 3 months ago, and if I wasn't a geek I would have given up on it after 2 weeks. The cool thing is you get to tweak everything. The problem is you MUST tweak nearly EVERYTHING. [07:56] I want to ask, every time updates are not on the Ubuntu machine (specifically Ubuntu 9.10) ? [07:56] ActionParsnip, It's not geek on par with some other linux versions, but you still gotta be a geek to really love it. [07:57] Eveningsky: my 80 year old grandad uses 100% stock settings and uses ethernet for web access and reuires no tweaking [07:57] Eveningsky: it just depends on how tweaky you are [07:57] mixxit: okay, well I didn't realize before that you were using such a small iso... You should be able to use unetbootin on E: [07:58] undecim: use the installer yeah? [07:59] mixxit: [07:59] mixxit: yeah [07:59] okies [07:59] eveningsky: with the exception of me disabling ureadahead i haven't had to fiddle with ubuntu on my desktop after i installed it [07:59] Hello, how i can force mplayer to use VDPAU [07:59] ActionParsnip, Well cool! That's pretty amazing, but notice he's gotta use ethernet to be able to use stock settings, already a tweak in the making. My grandmother is running on Win98 with a wireless card. Older, crappier system, but at least the wireless just works. [07:59] mixxit: Hmm... from the net install, it loads the kernel and initrd and isn't mounting a drive... [07:59] Lazy^: it isn't doing it automagically? [08:00] mixxit: Well I'll be damned, mixxit, you've just given me a way to do something I've been trying at for days. [08:00] what tool should i use to create a live usb with autologin? [08:00] undecim: woo! [08:00] Docteh: noup [08:00] Eveningsky: then you are on. About hardware support which is the fault of the hardware companies not making drivers. Not ubuntu's fault at all [08:01] ActionParsnip, I'm not here to lay blame. I agree. [08:01] Lazy^: tried mplayer -vo VDPAU ? [08:01] guyz anyone could make a sugestion of a motherbord that is compatible with opensource? [08:01] Eveningsky: he uses ethernet because where the modem is and where the pc is are stupidly close so using wifi for the sake of 30cm is ludicrous, plus wired is faster [08:02] hello, one of my accounts at empathy does not work, it gives a network error with msn protokoll. this does not happen to other msn-accounts. deleting and adding the same again doesnt help. has someone got this failure before? [08:02] moetunes: if i startup mplayer -vo VDPAU file.mkv i get this error: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. [08:03] Eveningsky: if the hardware manufacturers made the drivers like they did with windows with a handy installer then linux would soar but they won't as they don't get the return in money as yet [08:03] oh crap [08:03] hal.dll is missing [08:03] Lazy^: prob your vid card doesn't support it then? [08:03] moetunes: it does support vdpau =) [08:03] ion 330 [08:03] O.O [08:03] argh! [08:04] moetunes: Karmic 9.10 did work, but now with 10.04 i have problems [08:04] windows cannot boot because the following file is missing or corrupt [08:04] drives have switched round maybe? [08:04] 0,0 become 0,1? [08:04] mixxit: That may have something to do with it [08:05] Lazy^: maybe the driver for the vid card? - are you using the same driver? [08:05] But it booted fine before, didn't it? [08:05] ActionParsnip, It's not just hardware though. Microsoft spends millions on market testing to see what kind of interface people want and still screw up a LOT. Gnome has to figure out what people want just from the feedback of those few of us nuts enough to use an operating system with crappy driver support. [08:06] Eveningsky: works flawlessly here but I only buy from companies supporting linux [08:06] Eveningsky: I show my appreciation and hatred with where my wallet lands [08:07] all i have left is grub! [08:07] it isnt only that companies suprt linux is in fact that some times some parts dont fit together(confilct) [08:07] hi, i'm having a problem changing the display language to english in 9.10 , can anyone help? [08:08] ActionParsnip, Flawlessly? If you open nautilus with list view, then change the width of the Name field, does it remember the new width the next time you open nautilus? [08:08] Eveningsky: and as for "those few" I suggest you read this: http://www.aaxnet.com/design/linux2.html [08:09] Eveningsky: I don't use nautilus [08:09] while true; do mv forehead wall/; mv wall/forehead ./; done [08:09] ActionParsnip, See, that's another tweak. [08:09] Eveningsky: the US army use linux, as do google [08:10] Eveningsky: what, using terminal to perform file actions rather than using a mouse. Not a tweak at all [08:10] ActionParsnip, Do you expect your grandfather to use the terminal for everything? [08:11] Eveningsky: he can and does but does use mouse. I can't vouch for his activities though [08:12] Eveningsky: if you want nautilus to remember the widths if it isn't then log a bug [08:12] hi, whenever I restart Ubuntu (9.10) I have to manually restart GDM to get my mouse to work in, the problem was there since 8.10 and I hoped it might have bee fixed [08:12] any ideas? [08:12] undecim: i think i'm screwed [08:12] Ultali: is the 9.10 an upgrade or a clean install? [08:13] ActionParsnip: an upgrade [08:13] mixxit: try something.... [08:13] Mixxit: take out the drive, put it in another pc with cd boot and install to it then move the drive back [08:13] Hii Guys [08:13] mixxit: in grub, run these commands... [08:13] hmm, whenever i try to open a zip file, im getting an error saying: "End-of-central-directory signature not found. .......... unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of template.zip or template.zip.zip, and cannot find template.zip.ZIP, period." Even gives that same error when i simply try to open it through the file manager. The error doesnt make to much sense because the filename doesnt include two extensions like its implying no [08:13] ActionParsnip: it's a laptop small ide one my only other notebook is sata only [08:14] mixxit: "root (hd0,0)" [08:14] undecim: filesystem is fat, partition type 0xb [08:14] mixxit: "chainloader (hd0,2)+1" [08:14] undecim: carriage return [08:14] mixxit: makeactive [08:14] mixxit: boot [08:14] Mixxit: all drives are ide, you mean pata ;). You can get adapters for pence and use the pata controller in a desktop [08:15] undecim: kernel must be loaded before booting [08:15] ActionParsnip, This should probably be offtopic, no? [08:15] mixxit: you did the chainloader line? [08:15] Eveningsky: true but I'm here to help :) [08:15] undecim: sure did chainloader(hd0,2)+1 [08:16] undecim: sure did chainloader(hd0,1 <-- should it be 1? [08:16] mixxit: no [08:16] Mixxit: is there a bios upgrade, it may give usb boot ability [08:16] ActionParsnip: can i run the upgrade from grub? :P [08:17] Ultali: do you have an xorg.conf file? [08:17] is it possible to flush the DNS cache without having root/sudo access? [08:17] mixxit: usually the bios updaters are dos/windows apps [08:17] Mixxit: you can use a floppy based utility [08:17] everything I read says sudo nscd restart [08:17] ActionParsnip: no floppies and no windows atm [08:17] danielsh: is nscd actually running? [08:18] Docteh: yes [08:18] ActionParsnip, Thank you. The help has been recieved. If you want to continue to argue if Ubuntu is a geeky OS, type my name into offtopic. [08:18] Mixxit: it may make life easier to borrow one or buy a pack. [08:18] ActionParsnip: I have successfully added ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa to my system but all i get is some HD wallpapers and video codecs ( no driver ) [08:18] could try killing it ;) [08:18] without having root? [08:18] it runs as root [08:18] Eveningsky: I'll be here then bed. Just got off a 12 hour shift [08:18] huh i dont have nscd running on either of my computers [08:19] danielsh: if you kill it dead you only need to get root access once [08:19] ActionParsnip: yeah, I am just checking if there is a ServerLayout section since there is a bug report about a similar problem [08:19] ActionParsnip, too long. [08:19] Docteh: if I had root I could kill it three different ways. I do not have root on the machine I'm at right now. [08:19] hi, how can I install the spanish spelling review for firefox, in ubuntu 10.04 ? [08:19] Kine: hmm try: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 ,always works here. The codecs are great :) [08:19] ah [08:19] i.e., thanks for the ideas, but they're not applicable to my situation :-( [08:20] so rebooting and adding init=/bin/bash is probably a nonstarter? [08:20] Eveningsky: yeah another tomorrow then 4 days off though :) [08:20] ActionParsnip: its looking pretty sparse [08:20] Ultali: does it have any mousey stuff defined? [08:20] Docteh: it's easier to just talk to my sysadmin [08:21] danielsh: you might be able to disable the usage of nscd at a user level somehow, i have no idea how it works though [08:21] ActionParsnip: I need the 256 version and it seems only karmic has this in the ppa i use lucid 64 bit do i just have to wait? [08:21] mixxit: I'm firing up virtualbox right now to have a look at the grub version unetbootin installs and see what options you have. [08:21] Any ecryptfs experts in here? I got an encrypted home partition from using Linux Mint that I still can't get into. [08:21] * danielsh nods [08:21] how do i find the libgtkembedmoz library needed by Adobe reader? [08:21] re [08:21] Kine: I guess. Is your performance really bad? [08:21] sorry [08:21] sweet! [08:22] hi, how can I install the spanish spelling review for firefox, in ubuntu 10.04 ? [08:22] Docteh: thanks again [08:22] need to get around that message about the format [08:22] eveningsky: I'm pretty descent with it. [08:22] yw [08:22] ActionParsnip: no my performance is great :D its just that the 256 has a VNC fix for the "no screen update bug with gnome" [08:22] undecim, cool. I usually just get silence on that one. [08:22] i mean compiz [08:22] eveningsky: If you have the utils installed and have the same password as you did in Mint, you should be able to access it easy [08:22] melrokz: packages.ubuntu.com sometimes helps for those sort of problems [08:22] hi I need help on mounting , is there anyway to change back the name of mount drive? [08:22] need a full file name though [08:23] mixxit: well, this may take longer than I thought... [08:23] Kine: I see. Then log a bug and state the new driver fixes it and it may get included faster :) [08:23] mixxit: Apparantly, my XP virtualbox is messed up... [08:23] ActionParsnip: nope there isnt [08:23] FFS I spend 3 days getting ubuntu on my old box. Middle of a make -j5 processor shuts down because it overheats. I cant win. [08:24] Ubuntunewbie: do you mean the mount point? [08:24] there isnt any keyboard config either so I'll give that a try [08:24] undecim, I have ecryptfs, and whatever installed as a dependency. I'm using the same password. I'm not running Mint anymore. [08:24] ActionParsnip, I think i need more time with linux first I got noe clue over here x) [08:24] ActionParsnip : hi , everytime I mount a drive it always show UUID name a long 20 number name [08:24] maelaian: 5 jobs at once? [08:24] Docteh: for each core. [08:24] eveningsky: do you have a .ecryptfs directory in /home/? [08:24] Ultali: find some sample xorg.conf files and copy their mouse sections. It may help [08:25] 5 cores? sounds interesting [08:25] Docteh: Recommended is cores + 1 [08:25] Ubuntunewbie: you mount partitions, not drives [08:25] oh [08:25] ActionParsnip : it came with UUID *80e8aead-249d-415f-8527-5d70f585c46. Previously using ubuntu 8.04 , it shows only just (local disk) name [08:25] eveningsky: I take it that you have a separate home partition that is left over from mint? [08:25] !rename | ubuntunewbie [08:25] undecim, No. [08:25] !label | ubuntunewbie [08:25] ubuntunewbie: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [08:26] ActionParsnip : USB ? [08:26] You don't have .ecryptfs? === sandy is now known as Guest77913 [08:26] undecim, yes. left over. My current home is not encrypted. [08:26] ... so, I'd like to flush the DNS cache, but I don't have root/sudo access. How can I do that? [08:26] !custom | ubuntunewbie [08:26] no don't have .ecryptfs folder [08:26] in /home/, not /home/username [08:26] !list| ubuntunewbie [08:26] ubuntunewbie: This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:27] undecim, just checked both. [08:27] ActionParsnip: the Ubuntu docs say that in 9.10 the xorg conf is ignored and instead hal configs are used and I have a logitech marble mouse specific config set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi [08:27] which I guess is why everything works at all [08:27] eveningsky: You know from a file browser you need to press ctrl+h to see files begninng with ., right? [08:28] undecim, yes, I see hidden files, but not .ecryptfs [08:28] Ubuntunewbie: the drive has a single partition occupying the whole drive. You are still mounting the partition. If you run: mount you will see /dev/sdb1 mounted. /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on /dev/sdb which is the disk. You cannot mount /dev/sdb [08:29] ActionParsnip : oh , now I am mounting a partition .just that the name is so long to remember UUID name. [08:29] Ubuntunewbie: doesn't matter if its scsi or a flash memory stick or a cf card, the partition will be the thing mounted not the disk [08:29] eveningsky: There should be a .ecryptfs folder somewhere in your home directory. That contains your wrapped passphrase that's needed to unlock the files from your login password. [08:29] Ubuntunewbie: that's fine, label will help ;) [08:29] undecim, I will clarify, what I installed on the current system is ecryptfs-utils and whatever dependecies it asked for in synaptic. But I haven't used it for anything but failed attempts to recover this partition [08:30] ActionParsnip : now I am find those packages , [08:30] there is new kernel for lucid http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/. why the new kernel doesnt show up on update manager? [08:30] !info linux-image [08:30] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.22.23 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [08:31] eveningsky: can you do a search for "wrapped-passphrase" in your home partition? [08:31] undecim, It was not installed with the OS. As I said, I did not encrypt my home partition this time because the last one got trapped in encryption [08:31] how much time it takes to upgrade ubuntu to lucid [08:31] Squiddy 2.6.32.22.23 is the layest official ubuntu kernel. You can use that kernel at your own risk but its not supported here [08:31] !info ubuntu-standard [08:31] 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 [08:31] that depends on a lot of things [08:31] eveningsky: But your encrypted files are still there, no? [08:32] ActionParsnip: got it. thanks. [08:32] rubydiamond: that depends on internet speeds, amount of stuff installed etc etc [08:32] undecim, Encrypted files are in a partition that is not part of the current system and only mounts if I mount it manually in the terminal. [08:32] eveningsky: Okay, look in that partition for .ecryptfs [08:33] eveningsky: There should be a .ecryptfs/username/.ecryptfs/ folder on that partition [08:34] Docteh: okay.. === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:35] firefox is is consuming more processing power [08:35] Naveen519: it does that [08:35] firefox-3.5.3 [08:35] How do I install the latest version from here http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/198801 [08:35] ActionParsnip : will those label affect the other operating system ? let say if I had window xp on other partition , will it also rename the drive ? [08:36] Ubuntunewbie: should be fine as far as I know [08:36] ActionParsnip : window XP boot as C: , so if I rename at ubuntu as (XP ) will it also rename the C: to (XP) when I boot to window ? [08:36] ActionParsnip: what is the solution do you suggest ? my system is hanging [08:36] ActionParsnip : so all the partition get mess up ? [08:37] Kine: i'd remove the vdpau ppa and add the xswat ppa: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/27 [08:37] Kine: you don't, ubuntuupdates.org just shows you WHAT'S updated, there's nothing that you can install from there. [08:38] ActionParsnip: i did add x swap but the 256 driver is not there [08:38] Ubuntunewbie: it only changes the label. The data is untouched. The system may think its a new drive but will still act the same [08:38] !upgrade [08:38] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:38] Kine: read the top few lines of the link you gave [08:39] Kine: you need to install the nvidia-graphics-drivers package once you add it [08:41] Sorry if this is a double post, I just lost my connection: undecim, the only thing that shows up in the partition is lost+found, my-username-> [Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop, README.txt] [08:41] eveningsky: look in that partition for .ecryptfs [08:41] undecim, I just described everything that is visible in the partition. [08:41] eveningsky: There has to be a "wrapped-passphrase" file on that partition to convert your login password to your encryption key [08:42] undecim, no wait. I just realized. I forgot how to ls hidden files. [08:43] there is a .ecryptfs in there. [08:43] What package can I install for the hardware drivers manager? [08:43] http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-13-i686-Live.torrent [08:43] I'm trying to get wifi working [08:43] eveningsky: Okay, do you want to recover these files and put them in your home directory unencrypted, or do you want to restore your home directory to where it was with mint? [08:43] I found it through nautilus. How do I see hideen files in the terminal? [08:43] http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.torrent [08:43] eveningsky: ls -a [08:44] undecim, I just want to put them in a folder somewhere so I can dig through them at my leisure. [08:44] whats the daemon that lets me use my mouse in the text console? [08:44] alexbobp, thanks. [08:44] Docteh, gpm [08:44] eveningsky: no prob [08:45] undecim, and free up all that partitioned space. [08:45] thx [08:45] Does anybody know the name of the program that finds hardware drivers, like wifi and graphics cards? [08:45] start with lspci [08:45] eveningsky: alright then... in .ecryptfs there is your username. Inside that folder there is .ecryptfs and .private. [08:45] does anyone know how I can add a custom button for my desktop on netbook remix? [08:45] Hi all! Does anybody know, I changed my display manager from gdm to xdm and now it fails to start. Just says "starting x-display-manager" and nothing happens... [08:45] might be something more complex but lspci works really well [08:45] eveningsky: move both of those to your home folder [08:46] eveningsky: and then make a folder in your home directory called "Private" [08:46] * Ultali gives up [08:46] undecim. move those 2 folders directly into my current active home folder? [08:46] eveningsky: yes, Assuming you have the space [08:46] Hi! I was asked by ActionParsnip to run "sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it reports "dpkg: unknown option --reconfigure". What's wrong? [08:47] undecim, as in /home not /home/username ? [08:47] Ileden: dpkg-reconfigure blahblah [08:47] undecim: no, move them to YOUR home folder /home/username [08:47] anyone having trouble with chromium on ubuntu 64-bit - it stops working after the 3'rd or 4'th tab with this http://pastebin.com/EveZbCrY [08:47] Docteh: ok, thanks! [08:47] eveningsky: no, move them to YOUR home folder /home/username [08:48] SandGorgon, nope [08:48] I've changed my display manager from "gdm" to "xdm" and now it fails to start. Just says "starting x-display-manager" and nothing happens... Does anybody know, how to fix it? [08:48] SandGorgon, ppa? [08:48] oh, turns out I had madwifi all along XD [08:48] just wasn't using it. [08:48] how do i find the full path for rhythmbox? i want it to be my default app for .pls [08:48] eveningsky: We will mount the ecryptfs to the Private folder I told you to make [08:48] CbIP: you're going to have to dig deeper and get a more informative error [08:48] rabidweezle, chromium-daily [08:48] can you run xdm manually? [08:49] eveningsky: After you have moved those files, you need to edit .ecryptfs/Private.mnt and change the path in that file to /home/username/Private [08:49] SandGorgon, I suggest just switching to stable in the lucid repo [08:49] should this entry in my fstab not mount the partitions on boot with me as the owner? they are still owned by root with perms of 777. http://pastebin.com/uMFMPKS6 [08:50] Docteh: THe problem is that I can load Ubuntu only with gdm, not xdm... So how do I collect more information? [08:50] eveningsky: After the .ecryptfs folder is there, you can go ahead and edit that file while the rest of the files are moving [08:50] undecim, is there a way to do this without moving them? It's reporting about 2.5 hours to copy all the files. [08:50] CbIP: stop it from starting either, log in at text mode and sudo xdm [08:50] undecim, quick side question - anythoughts about Truecrypt vs ecryptfs ? [08:50] eveningsky: You could just make a symlink to the folders. [08:50] LuckySMack: i dont see anything that mentions a user in that paste [08:51] SandGorgon: Never used truecrypt [08:51] defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 [08:51] Docteh: OK, I'll try. Also, please tell me how to remove it from autorun. I'm a newbie in Linux-systems... [08:51] SandGorgon: though from what I've read, Truecrypt is more secure. I've used dm-crypt with LUKS before, which is good for encrypted root partitions, but no so much for encrypted home [08:52] Docteh, ah i got it from a forum post the other day that mentioned it would be owned by the main user [08:52] ActionParsnip : I still dont get it how to label [08:52] maybe i read it out of context. [08:52] rename /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled [08:52] Docteh: OK. Thanks. I'm going to try... [08:52] mixxit: Are you still trying to install Ubuntu from windows? [08:52] mixxit: Almost done reinstalling XP in virtualbox... [08:53] LuckySMack: uid=1000 would make it owned by the first user account, you can look up user ids in /etc/passwd if it doesn't like eg user=LuckySMack [08:53] I think ntfs-3g supports both methods though [08:53] Docteh, cool thanks. [08:53] Jordan_U: Actually, we've managed to bork windows, so now we're trying to install Ubuntu from Grub4dos [08:53] someone can help me, how to install 3d compiz fusion in ubuntu 9.10??? [08:54] rabidweezle, what ppa do you use for chromium ? [08:54] , i installed xsane form the ubuntu package manager, but when i start xsane it says no devices avaiable but the scanner is connected and i can print with it [08:54] SandGorgon, lucid has it in the main repo, so none [08:54] hi people, need help to get a canon mp640 under xubuntu 10.04 working,i downloaded the latest sane from the sane webpage and i did ./configure, make,make install [08:55] , i installed xsane form the ubuntu package manager, but when i start xsane it says no devices avaiable but the scanner is connected and i can print with it [08:55] is there an app for managing ppa's? [08:55] Docteh, ok does this look more right then? my uid is 1000. http://pastebin.com/nXGgxwq2 [08:55] Docteh: Ubuntu tweak [08:56] undecim: Is there any way to edit files on the hard drive, or on any drive that the BIOS can read? [08:56] friend???? i need help???? how to install 3d compiz fusion in ubuntu carmic koala???? [08:56] LuckySMack: space goes out [08:56] Jordan_U: Well, the bios is pretty limited as to what it can read. [08:56] uid=1000,defaults,.... [08:56] LuckySMack: You need to separate the options with commas defaults,uid=1000,... [08:56] ahox, cool [08:56] i see [08:56] Jordan_U: Currently, grub4dos doesn't seem to be able to boot a Linux kernel [08:57] thanks. [08:57] hallo [08:57] i thought grub4dos just ran grub from dos [08:58] Docteh: No, it's like a different version of grub [08:58] undecim, OK. I symlinked .Private and copied .ecryptfs and Private.mnt now reads /home/username/Private [08:58] I need help [08:59] eveningsky: No run ecryptfs-mount-private in a terminal [08:59] now* [09:00] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [09:00] undecim, no apparent errors. says Inserted auth token...... [09:01] eveningsky: Check Private [09:02] mixxit: You there? [09:02] undecim, Ok. It's in Private? so do I need to copy that stuff somewhere else now? that's like mounting right? temporary? [09:02] YAY!!!! [09:02] eveningsky: Yes, your encrypted files that were on the old partition are mounted to Private [09:03] hello Unde? [09:04] Right now it's temporary. With the settings in .ecryptfs, Ubuntu will try to mount each time, but you have to mount the partition itself manually. If you give the partition a permanent mount point from /etc/fstab, then it will become a permanent mount [09:04] undecim: This is starting to get somewhat convoluted, but you should be able to use grub4dos to load a super grub2 disk image, and it's easy to boot from an iso from there as there is an option to automatically detect loop bootable iso files. (if mixxit is still available that is). [09:04] Jordan_U: There is no way to get the grub2 super disk to a place where grub4dos can access it. [09:04] Jordan_U: I think the only option left is to get a floppy disk... [09:04] right [09:04] good news [09:04] undecim: You can't put it on a flash drive? [09:05] Jordan_U: Old mobo... It doesn't work with flash drives [09:05] i found a dusty cdrw at the bottom of a pile of cds [09:05] undecim, Hah hah! What a joke. That 100G partition that was going to take 2 hours to copy only had 1.6G of actual data in it. Thank god for symlinks [09:05] its slightly scratched but it has suse on it! [09:05] i am just booting it now [09:05] eveningsky: symlinks are quite useful. [09:05] (rescue) [09:05] undecim: what are you trying to do? [09:05] mixxit: Very nice. [09:06] undecim: Isn't that the whole point of unetbootin using grub4dos though (that it has native USB drivers)? [09:06] undecim: i have left the usb stick in [09:06] Docteh: Boot Ubuntu on a very very old laptop [09:06] undecim, hmm. 1.6 gigs is too small for what I had on there. there should have been at least about 30. [09:06] o, like a livecd or to install? [09:06] Jordan_U: Well, as far as we've tried, we can't access it. [09:06] no cds and no boot from usb [09:06] eveningsky: where do you see 1.6 GB? [09:06] live-noncd then [09:08] undecim: are you shooting for an install or like what the livecd does [09:08] eveningsky: Are you sure you made symlinks and aren't just using what you had already transferred? [09:08] Docteh: I've renamed /etc/init/gdm.conf, and run sudo xdm (at tty1). It started normally I think, 'cause there were no errors or any messages at all. Also I did't find xorg.conf in my system [09:08] Docteh: Install. Previously we were trying to get net-install on the hard drive, since we didn't have any external media [09:08] oh did that work? [09:09] undecim, I opened Private, highlighted everything and copied it to another folder the copying dialog showed 1.6G. I just showed hidden files, but that only raised it to about 2 gigs. [09:09] I'd boot gpxe off of a floppy myself [09:09] eveningsky: Make sure that the .private folder is indeed a symlink. [09:09] the rest of that mostly is ubuntu specific preferences and stuff [09:09] Docteh: And after renaming gdm.conf GDM (not XDM) stared normally... [09:10] CbIP: so all is well in the land? [09:10] Docteh: No, I got gdm instead of xdm... [09:11] oh [09:11] eveningsky: "stat .private" should tell you if it is [09:12] hello guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have problem with my touchpad. I doesn't work. How do I solve this problem? [09:12] How i can get mplayer to use VDPAU ? [09:12] undecim, maybe not. [09:12] eveningsky: And make sure you got capitalization right... [09:12] I wonder how I got another .Private folder [09:13] undecim, must be leftovers from failed attempts at recovery. [09:14] eveningsky: You can have a .private and a .Private in the same directory because of cases sensitivity. [09:14] eveningsky: Make sure that .Private (capitalized) is the symlink [09:14] mixxit: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html should let you install Ubuntu from your suse disk. [09:14] its not a full rescue system [09:14] unfortunately :/ [09:14] but at least im in a shell [09:15] mixxit: If you can get your windows fixed, you can go back to putting unetbootin on E:. [09:15] mixxit: Assuming you want to keep windows, that kills two birds with one stone [09:15] Please how can i disable b43-PCI-BRIDGE [09:15] undecim, I only used .Private throughout because that's what I saw in the partition. The symlink command did not complain, but it also didn't complain about .ecryptfs, which appeared in my home directory as a file instead of a directory. [09:16] worth a shot [09:16] that's why I copied .ecryptfs [09:16] hi, what happen if i install yum? [09:17] hey all, my graphics seem to initalise wrongly, when I boot sometimes I get the wrong resolution some times I get no login screen at all just a background. I have been looking around and I think its to do with the speeded up boot and my intel driver (latitude notebook) also worth noting when I get into the desktop the screen extends off to the right off my screen, when I go to prefs monitors the screen re initalises and is right without me ch [09:17] anging anything. [09:17] eveningsky: mixxit: I hate to leave you guys in the middle of fixing problems, but I really need to get to sleep. [09:18] undecim: no problem buddy! thank you so much for sitting here with me [09:18] undecim: we can do this! [09:19] mixxit: No problem. Thanks for letting me figure out about the net install. I can write that guide about installing without external media now. [09:19] nice! send me a link [09:19] mixxit: And it got a lot simpler to do, as well. [09:19] nite guys [09:19] I have installed the DEV version of WINE from the Software Center but its older than the DEV available at winhq. is there a reason for this? [09:19] i have installed a theme in ubuntu10.4 but it looks good only if windows are transparent ...how can i change transparency of windows [09:19] undecim, thanks. You've given me hope. Will you be on tomorrow? [09:20] please help me [09:21] H4 [09:21] Hi guys?

[09:25] sreeju: application ==> ubuntu software center [09:25] sorry no [09:25] mixxit: Or rather, which is supposed to be used to boot what? [09:26] Jordan_U: it was in unet 10.4 netinst [09:26] Jordan_U: it put some files in to the c: drive and then modified the boot.ini [09:26] any Chinese?

[09:29] and all my router configurations are setup [09:29] But it says connection refused [09:29] apparently I need to icnrease the amount of allowed connections [09:29] how do I do that? [09:29] ok bye [09:29] Jordan_U: its trashed now im on a suse install cd in f9 [09:30] Thanks in advance. [09:30] I will also shower you with money for your help [09:30] facebook does not work in kapote [09:30] mixxit: :( That makes things harder, though not impossible. [09:30] Jordan_U: yay! [09:30] mixxit: How did you trash it though? [09:31] mehgahbleh: yeah well... Are you sure that your laptop accept remote connection? [09:31] How can I be sure? [09:31] I'm no expert, but I had turned that off last time :s [09:31] I'm doing ssh localhost [09:31] Jordan_U: something happened with windows and it couldnt find hal.dll anymore [09:31] and that's respondning fine [09:31] debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 [09:31] debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_rsa-cert type -1 [09:31] debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 [09:31] debug1: identity file /home/hasan/.ssh/id_dsa-cert type -1 [09:31] ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host [09:31] mehgahbleh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:31] can anyone use mxit in kapote and empathy? [09:31] Jordan_U: i think it was when we swapped the partitions around === Jonathan__ is now known as KyubyLingus [09:32] m4tic: I use pidgin + empathy [09:32] mixxit: grub4dos should still work even without windows being bootable. [09:32] Jordan_U: windows is not setactive atm so it just says insert disk etc.. [09:33] Jordan_U: not sure if this cd has grub or lilo ill check [09:33] Galerien: http://pastebin.com/xwsSYdB1 [09:33] ideas? [09:33] mixxit: And you don't have any floppies? That would make things much simpler. [09:33] hello guys, I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have problem with my touchpad. I doesn't work. How do I solve this problem? [09:33] Jordan_U: no external media [09:34] mehgahbleh: wait [09:34] Thanks. [09:34] is suspend to ram mode also available via shell command ? [09:34] Jordan_U: what can we do from this suse shell? [09:34] delight: what do you mean? [09:34] mehgahbleh: nop :s Sorry, as I said, not an expert [09:34] galerien, are you able to use facebook in either of them [09:35] mixxit: Ok, I have a crazy idea as a start, but it will destroy the partition table on your hard drive. [09:35] Galerien: well i can suspend to ram on my ubuntu via guy … but i was wondering if this is also possible via a command on shell [09:35] m4tic: in empathy [09:35] Jordan_U: ok thats not a problem [09:35] Well, anyone know how to increase amount of allowed connections? [09:35] delight: you mean killing processus ? [09:35] mixxit: Download this image and dd it to your hard drive: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso [09:35] galerien do you enter facebook.com/username? or just username? to date none of these methods work [09:35] Galerien: no calling standby … [09:35] Jordan_U: dd? [09:36] Jordan_U: i dont have a partition to download it to [09:36] delight: well, that's ctrl + Z if I remember well... [09:36] but I don't really know [09:37] that's something you should be able to find on google... [09:37] Jordan_U: some memory space? [09:37] m4tic: username [09:37] that's all [09:37] mixxit: "dd if=/path/to/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso of=/dev/sda" (but be *very* carefull, if /dev/sda is your flash drive rather than your hard drive then it will destroy the partition table (and some data) on the flash drive) [09:37] galerien it does not work, but for some reason in mandriva it works [09:37] Galerien: well not really … i don't want to stop a process … but i wanted to put a remote box to sleep … via ssh [09:38] m4tic: sorry, can't help you :D [09:39] delight: yeah well, my remote connection telnet/ssh are far behind me, so sorry :D [09:39] mixxit: Just put it in /tmp, that should store it in RAM. [09:39] how would I "pipe" the output of a find result list in such a way that I can browse the jpgs in the result list? would I need to copy to another location the view in the gui? [09:39] Jordan_U: dd command not found [09:39] I get ntpd[22259]: can't open /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift.TEMP: Permission denied in my syslog, how can I fix this?

[09:44] mixxit: Yes. [09:44] Galerien: it works by calling /etc/acpi/sleep.sh sleep [09:44] Jordan_U: might be able to get a full rescue system up just asking the guys in suse a sec [09:44] delight: oO well, thanks for the heads up!! [09:44] hi, anyone here use Gnome-shell? [09:45] mixxit: The cat command gave you no errors? Did you have the external drive connected? [09:46] haz anyone try slitaz dist? [09:46] hello, with compiz turned on I can't play h.264 (720p) videos nicely, it seems like either the frame rate is too low, or vblank isnt correctly synced (though I enabled it). When I used ubuntu a year ago this didnt happen (I used kubuntu in the mean time, but now I switched back). any way to solve it? [09:46] Jordan_U: no external and no errors [09:46] Hi!

[09:47] almost, one sec [09:47] ChaosR: did you install the proprietary driver? [09:47] Galerien: yes [09:47] Galerien: and, vdpau seems to make it worse [09:48] mixxit: I see you're getting a lot of great help in #suse ;) [09:48] I am using ubuntu 10.04 desktop, i would like to have KDE session as well. How can i have KDE session not kubuntu? [09:48] ChaosR: ok...

How can i have KDE session not kubuntu?

How do I make the terminal beep (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound [09:50] k1: create it [09:51] ChaosR: because with upgrade there are a lots of problems with drivers, but that's the first clean install problem I saw... [09:51] k1: right, create it as rww says for plugins [09:51] hi does anyone in here use Gnome-shell? [09:51] hi I install the Ati driver but the it doesn't have the short cut CCC for me to configurate [09:51] rww, ubulucid ok thanks [09:51] what's the shurt cut for ATi catalyst ?

[09:52] that's why I feel funny [09:52] Anyone uses KDE here??? [09:52] Galerien: yeh, it probably isnt syncing right for some reason, happens in every movie player. I had this bug on KDE too, but never with compiz [09:52] I can enable compiz means i installed already [09:52] Help me please =)) I have downloaded an iso image ubuntu-server 10.04 lst, but I can't install it, installation passes with errors (corrupted packages and files) The md5sums of the downloaded image and image on a server coincide [09:52] There are 2 hdd on the computer, there is ubuntu-desktop 10.04 sistem on one of them.

[09:55] hi [09:56] ubulucid: kdebase* packages are the base of the KDE system, kde-standard is a metapackage that installs a standard KDE desktop, kubuntu-desktop installs KDE plus modifications by the Kubuntu team, kubuntu-plasma-desktop doesn't exist. [09:56] is killerkiwi here? [09:56] Galerien : The program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [09:56] Galerien : should I install ?

[09:57] Tangor: sorry, mistab [09:58] h00ked: you probably need tcl-dev [09:58] mixxit: Yes, "mount /dev/sda /mnt" (normally you'd mount a partititon like sda but this is a special case) [09:58] rww: thx, I try it ;) [09:58] UbuntuLily_: try the second option on this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9218816 [09:58] UbuntuLily_: that's a clean install or an upgrade?

[10:00] rww: i tried using sudo nano but it gave me an empty box [10:00] adel: /etc/grub/grub probably isn't the file you're looking for. /etc/default/grub, perhaps? [10:00] ubulucid: Not sure.

[10:01] rww: Thanks for your time and help [10:01] mixxit: Then it probably didn't work, you can try iso9660 but it probably won't work. [10:01] -t iso9660 ? [10:01] mixxit: Yes [10:02] Jordan_U: wrong fs type [10:02] hi [10:02] mixxit: The image wasn't written correctly, did you check the md5sum of the image?

See the bug report linked from that FAQ, especially comment #34. [10:13] mixxit: Ok, if you get super grub2 disk dd'd to the hard drive you have two possabilies. 1: If you are really lucky and the option "Enable GRUB2's USB support *experimental*" doesn't just freeze your computer, then you can just stick an Ubuntu iso in /boot-isos/ on your flash drive and choose "Detect loop bootable isos (in /boot-isos or /boot/boot-isos)".

[10:16] polo do what ? you do not need to install it, since it is already there. [10:16] hi i have a question how do i change my boot splash on kubuntu? [10:17] mixxit: Option 2: Create a new partition on the hard drive (don't change anything with the first partition, while you can't mount it it's where super grub disk is stored) and put the iso in /boot-isos/ on this new partition. Super grub2 disk will almost certainl let you boot from this iso but I'm not sure if you'll be able to install from it since a partition on the hard drive will not be able to be unmounted since that's where [10:18] Galerien Nvidia [10:18] Oer ok how do i access it [10:18] polo: then I can't help you sorry [10:18] Galerien thanks [10:19] mixxit: And this all depends on dd working from suse.

I believe it has something to do with lighttpd which I currently edited for another package, however I do not know how to go about fixing this problem can any help?

[11:54] DryGrain: i do! [11:54] me too [11:54] theadmin: then tell me how [11:54] but hey at least you know perl [11:55] youve got that going for you [11:55] Angel_Tears: sudo usermod -l newname oldname [11:55] * perlmonkey loves perl [11:55] I thought you did too Angel_Tears [11:55] theadmin: didnt work [11:55] DryGrain: :| [11:55] Angel_Tears: Supposed to... hm... Your nickname looks somewhat familiar o_O [11:55] theadmin: o.O [11:56] so the sudo usermod -l newname oldname didnt work [11:56] Angel_Tears: Okay, just how it doesn't work? [11:56] now what [11:56] theadmin: it says the user does not exist [11:56] the old username [11:57] Angel_Tears: Note: You can't modify a user while logged in as it [11:57] theadmin: :| [11:57] Angel_Tears: Are you sure you type it properly? Try this: sudo usermod -l newname $USER [11:57] Angel_Tears: Assuming that logged in as that user though [11:57] so i should create a new user in order to change this 1? [11:57] Angel_Tears: You'll have to re-login if you change current user [11:58] but it says error user does not exist [11:58] or it doesnt matter? [11:58] Angel_Tears: Well. Basically, it may or may not work, I dunno... deluser doesn't work with current user :P [11:58] theadmin: lol [11:58] ok thx for the tip [11:58] Angel_Tears: usermod should though. Allright, once again, try "sudo usermod newname $USER" [11:58] will try with a new user when am done [11:59] I'd have used (as root) sed -i s/oldname/newname/ /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow; mv /home/oldname /home/newname [11:59] kk [11:59] zcat[1]: Woah [11:59] zcat[1]: That's quite a strange way to do it :P [11:59] Yeah [11:59] and if anything else happens to match the username, it would really mess things up ;) [11:59] theadmin: *usermod: no flags given* [12:00] Angel_Tears: What? o_O [12:00] My friend has a 320 GB Harddisk (External), and he has 250 GB data stored in that (can not be backed up).

[12:54] naveen519, hi [12:55] dft: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/563100/comments/6 bryce explained this [12:55] hi how can i get nbsmtp ? [12:55] gnome-panel crashes not just the main menu? [12:55] <[4-tea-2]> Bueller? [12:55] sudo apt-get install nbsmtp doesnt work and also with synaptic its not working [12:55] <[4-tea-2]> Anybody? [12:55] geirha, how do I find out if it's ubuntu or not ? [12:55] dft: or was the int/uint thing found after he said that? if so, i'll poke him to have another look [12:55] is it outdated? [12:55] found after that [12:56] MindSpark: lsb_release -a [12:56] at least due to the comments [12:56] hittt, gnome-panel crashes not just the main menu?

[12:56] naveen519:hi === PigeonCluster is now known as blendmaster1024 [12:56] MindSpark: Hehe, then it's probably yast instead of apt-get [12:57] MindSpark: or yum [12:57] there's rpm [12:57] they can't handle negative mouse coordinates, so you can't place a screen left of or under screen0 [12:57] I think centos is rh based [12:57] dft: though bob freemer's wrong. nouveau isnt advertised as having 3d support, but it does for certain cards ;-) (the ones the developers have physical access to) [12:57] MindSpark: It is. So it uses rpm instead of dpkg, and yum instead of apt-get I think. [12:57] so a three monitor setup is unpractical [12:57] yeah nitesh, how are you doing ? [12:58] MindSpark: Though there's probably a #centos channel that knows more about that than me :) [12:58] dft: alright, i'll ask bryce to give it another look [12:59] hi, is there a way to set it up so I dont have to run export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib every reboot?

[14:05] ubuntunewbie, It looks like its the same for everyone... [14:06] linux: well, I have no idea how to fix your problem... sorry about that :s [14:06] Slart: but the "format to", "delete", etc buttons are disabled [14:06] hi [14:06] Please somebody help me.. i have got an url and I wouldl liek to download the source code of this page (its and xml page) with wget but It downloads only the url name here is the url: http://tv.animare.hu/rssfeed.aspx?tartalom=aktualistvmusor&tvcsatorna=5 and what needs to me rss_feed.xml [14:06] Pazy: just to get this out of the way.. you have tried rebooting? [14:06] progre55: is the drive mounted? [14:06] Galerien, no problem thnx [14:06] Slart, yeah, should I unmount it first? [14:06] linux: check your cd and your bios configuration is it allow you to boot from cd you might also visit this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub and write some impartant part [14:06] Slart: A few times, ive had the problem for about a day and a half. [14:06] progre55: yes [14:07] oh okay [14:07] chilli0 : now second problem icon part [14:07] sec [14:07] Galerien, He hasn't properly said what his problem is. But i think he just doesn't know how to set his boot devices. [14:07] Slart: Potentially I could just reinstall the entire operating system but learning seems like a better option. [14:07] linux: it's always recommended to install windows first then ubuntu.. if your cd won't boot now remember you have to do it from a power off state.. or on a restart [14:07] and if tis a dell good luck :) [14:07] ubuntunewbie, The icon's are the same for me also. I'm guessing that everyone has those icons missing. [14:07] Pazy: anything special happen before these problems started? disk problems? installed anything? [14:08] chilli0 : it get missing even on firefox too [14:08] Slart: I dont remember doing any special, I think I was editing a document in openoffice for a few hours. [14:08] ubuntunewbie, O= so its quite a lot of things? [14:08] scunizi, is it option of bios [14:08] chilli0 : not sure yours , but try and havea look at file tools view and etc [14:08] chilli0 : i had even another problem , 3rd one . [14:09] ubuntunewbie, Yeh , so is it missing icons from programs that you have installed? or just some of the ones that came default? [14:09] Pazy: would getting the standard menus back help you? or you've installed lots and lots of software? [14:09] And I have no clue how to fix the last one =s [14:09] chilli0 : when you keep on tabbing right click and left click on desktop.It'll get hang [14:09] hi all [14:09] i'm trying to do a install with kickstart [14:10] but it looks like the cdrom is not mounting [14:10] chilli0 : program icon shows well [14:10] Slart: The only thing important, personally, I installed was Pidgin and Opera. I could live with manually putting them the menu's/ [14:10] i'm using ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg option [14:10] chilli0 : i mean the firefox [14:10] but is complaning at boot time that it can find ks.cfg [14:10] linux: with the cd as the first boot option..? yes.. === viesturs_ is now known as viesturs [14:10] while its in the root of the cd [14:10] ubuntunewbie, ok.

[14:11] linux: alt + f2 ==> gksu gparted [14:12] chilli0: maybe :D [14:12] enlight me [14:12] how can i unmount filesystem where ubuntu is install [14:12] any every used kickstart of install? [14:12] !linux : try to read this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/fdisk.8.html [14:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:12] linux: sudo umount -a [14:12] linux : try to read this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/fdisk.8.html [14:12] Pazy: try this.. open a terminal and run sudo debconf gnome-panel [14:12] i wanna delete all partition including ubuntu [14:13] Galerien, Well , find out how he is trying to run the xp cd. I'm guessing its not going to that and going to grub ( witch means that he just needs to boot from cd not first hard drive) [14:13] marccc^_, nope sorry [14:13] then he can remove all partions from the live cd [14:13] ubuntunewbie, Whats wrong there? [14:13] chilli0 : you compare yours , [14:13] chilli0 : sure there are some small icon there [14:14] ubuntunewbie, None on mine =O [14:14] holey shit [14:14] Core|School, ?

Though the terminal shows an error about not connecting to session manager and getting the owner of "org.gnome.SessionManager". Does it seem important? Im content to ignore it.

But i never really used ff so idk how it was in 9.04 [14:15] Pazy: nah.. I think you'll be ok regardless of that error [14:15] faryshta, Should just open ubuntu doesnt really care with extentions. [14:15] chilli0 : there much be icon overthere [14:15] linux: ok do you have the livecd ? [14:15] Slart: Then thanks very much for your help, I can now get back to using my my O/S with confidence. [14:15] Hello guys... [14:15] yes [14:16] Pazy: you're welcome [14:16] chilli0, well it could read the first one but the second one trows an error.

[14:16] could be corrupt [14:16] Slart: any suggestions on the read/write permissions, please? [14:17] Slart: now that I have formatted my drive into fat32, I cannot copy/paste files into it, and there are no read/write permissions for the group and others, just for the user.. [14:17] linux: to format the disk pls boot from the live cd and read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=267869 [14:17] ubuntunewbie, Oh i see. Well I'm guessing that's just someting that has changed fro everyone? [14:17] chilli0, well the place where I downloaded mentioned about "joining the files with Hacha". [14:17] wie kann man die auflösung des ubuntu ändern in einer virtuellen maschine ? [14:17] Slart: but copying from the command line works [14:17] chilli0 : how about yours ? [14:17] I think i've messed up my ubuntu installation by tryin to install kubuntu-desktop package. so, should i download kubuntu cd image and go for a new installation? or is there any way to bring back my ubuntu installation like as if it just got installed? like windows system restore?

[14:17] wise_crypt, will i be able to install xp then after [14:17] progre55: mm, fat is a bit limited like that.. I think you'll have to change how that drive is mounted.. ie when it mounts it you tell it that it belongs to your user.. not root [14:18] Slart: but it automounts it.. [14:18] chilli0 : :S , I had ubuntu 8.04 install it had icon on it . there's no way icon went missing like this [14:18] progre55: I'm not sure exactly how to do this though [14:18] AAAAHHHHH [14:18] linux, You haven't explained what your issue is with installing xp yet.

[16:53] orangeglo: you dont have compositing enabled in your window manager, so cairo cant have a blank background, so it gets filled in black [16:53] An_Ony_Moose: dunno. just know thats what people use to do that [16:53] maco: ah ok. thank you :) [16:53] ok, I'll have a look, thanks maco :) [16:53] The popup window that appears when I click "Add to panel" doesn't contain data/time applet.

[18:03] blue_anna : ok nvm tq [18:03] timyeung: are you creating a new dir for the destination ? [18:03] timyeung: create that first [18:03] blue_anna, or does it have to be an existing dir [18:03] lengend: run: top -n 1 what is output (use pastebin) [18:04] zenlunatic, apparently gnome-system-monitor takes like 56% and Java was taking 106% :S [18:04] timyeung: yes [18:04] blue_anna, i don't need to [18:04] blue_anna, i was just curious [18:04] xs2ubuntu: perhaph #kubuntu could help better, kopete is a kde app [18:04] timyeung: you do, the destination must exist because you'll be cd'ing into it [18:04] lengend, yeah. java and flash will do that [18:04] timyeung: and the path can either be absolute, like starting at root "/" ,, or it can be relative to the FROMDIR [18:05] how do I install proprietary wifi drivers through cli?

[18:07] ?? [18:07] i dont understand? [18:08] blue_anna, thank you for your help so far this is the farthest I have gotten with this [18:08] just re-installed GRUB, tried to boot windows, and it still goes to a blank screen with a blinking white cursor [18:08] it has been doing this ever since i installed ubuntu 10.04 [18:08] abhishek: you pastebinned the xorg.conf file, you now need to copy the address bar in the browser and paste it here [18:08] lengend: are you using 64bit ubuntu? [18:08] blue_anna, I am also getting cannot mkdir: Input/output error on some files [18:08] timyeung: oo, use sudo [18:08] !pastebin | abhishek [18:08] abhishek: 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. [18:09] i have noticed though that while it appears to be doing nothing when it goes to the screen with the blinking white cursor, the CPU heats up and appears to be doing something intensive [18:09] timyeung: please do df -k and paste output on pastebin.ws [18:09] gump_: did you tried startup repair for windows? [18:09] abhishek: or if thats too hard: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf what is outout? [18:09] blue_anna, I am, I typed in sudo -i before typing the tar ect command [18:09] idlecool: i don't have a windows disk and i can't even get it to load windows far enough to get to startup repair from my disk [18:10] umm its reading some databases [18:10] timyeung: add a sudo before each tar command in the commandline I gave you too, but you should not get errors for the output unless there is a disk space issue [18:10] abhishek: war eagle [18:10] mixxit: Got anywhere with the old laptop? [18:10] timyeung: ok, so does df-k have anything at or near 100% [18:10] so. no. i guess i'll try and download startup repair and put it on a cd? [18:10] Could someone knowledgeable give me a hand: What is the most efficient protocol for a remote filesystem? Presumably between SMB, SSHFS and FTP, unless there's another better one. [18:10] should i copy paste the entire out put? [18:10] abhishek: its installing pastebinit via cli, you most likely use software-centre [18:10] timyeung: besides the cd :P [18:10] gump_: startup repair can be done from DISK only [18:10] wweasel: define efficient [18:10] I have a bunch of images that I need to resize, each needs to have a max width or height of 1600px and keep the aspect ratio. Is there a program that can do that on Ubuntu? I usually used IrfanView on Windows. [18:10] how can i find out if i have ubuntu 10.04 lts or netbook edition? [18:11] last line is a link "pastebin" [18:11] blue_anna, I will once it is finished. I have an 80gig and a 100 gig HDD to transfer [18:11] wweasel: ftp is highly inefficient and uses 2 ports for data transfers [18:11] abhishek: yes copy that and paste it here [18:11] ActionParsnip, fastest data throughput [18:11] timyeung: ok but its not a good backup if you're getting errors ..I mean I guess you know what you're doing :) [18:11] http://pastebin.com [18:11] wweasel: smb or ftp then, fastest != efficient [18:11] timyeung: you can open another terminal while that is running and do the df -k now [18:11] lol [18:11] gump_: once you do startup repair and you succeed in that! then you need to reconfigure grub! which is a very easy task! :) [18:11] ActionParsnip, what do you mean by efficient then? [18:12] i think thats not what u meant? [18:12] idlecool: before the install of ubuntu 10.04, windows vista had some problems after i partitioned the disk, so it automatically ran startup repair and fixed itself. now it won't even show the windows loading screen, so yeah [18:12] right? [18:12] Hi all === SensiblesEstamos is now known as R0d [18:12] ActionParsnip, I'm trying to determine which is best for streaming video from my server to my HTPC. [18:12] if i have 10.04 lts on a laptop should i change it to the netbook version? if i am having trouble geting my wifi to work? [18:12] and can i use a cd instead of usb flash [18:12] is "theadmin" around? [18:12] ActionParsnip, I presume not SSHFS, becaues that unnecessarily involves an encrypted stream. [18:12] !wireless | michelle_ [18:12] michelle_: The netbook version won't give you any better wifi [18:12] michelle_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:12] blue_anna, i just formated the drive, it has 250 gigs available. [18:13] Gump_: it is ok! boot the vista disk to do startup repair [18:13] when creating a personal debian package, do you have to explicitly say where you want it installed? [18:13] timyeung: ooh, hmm. where they /dev files you were getting errors on ? [18:13] wweasel: its massively dependant on the situation the protocol is being used, the out of band control in ftp is highly advantageous and may be necesssary some situations which would make ftp efficient, if you are concerned for port use then it isnt. there is no one blanket answer to a choice between technologies like that [18:13] ActionParsnip: i did not encounter this resolution problem the last few times i installed ubuntu, why is this hhappenin now. i dint change any thing [18:13] nightlyuser what is the difference in 10.04 lts and netbook edition? [18:13] idlecool: you mean the cd that came with my computer? there isn't one, just a second hard disk with all the windows install files on it [18:14] michelle_: absolutly nothing when it comes to wireless drivers [18:14] abhishek: thats how i've always defined oddball resolutions [18:14] ok [18:14] i have ubuntu and vista duel booting from the same hd [18:14] michelle_: The only difference is the graphical interface. The netbook edition is meant to work well with small screens [18:14] o [18:14] timyeung: are you backing up an entire disk? or restoring one? if its the second, you almost certainly want to use dd instead [18:15] ActionParsnip, hrm, well then, moving past the vague and imprecise word "efficient" that I used originally... Which would you use for streaming videos from a server to an HTPC on the same network? [18:15] abhishek: if you run: pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf you will get a link like this: http://pastebin.com/59YiJyra what does your outout [18:15] oh! :o i cant help out with that! :( well! if you be able to repair the startup reinstall your grub, here is the link http://casquid.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/grub-reinstallation/ [18:15] michelle_: They both have the same stuff under the hood, so you will still have the same wireless software. [18:15] wweasel: samba [18:15] blue_anna, I think I need to explain somethings to you real quik like [18:15] is there no other way , like a monitor driver update or somin, which recognises my samsung 2243lnx and its default resoulution [18:15] michelle_: Do you know what model wireless card you have? [18:15] ActionParsnip, and why? [18:15] wweasel: if you define and constrain the situation rather than you using a vague and imprecise question you will get better answers [18:15] Hi, how does one rip a complete DVD fully automatically with GUI on Linux? A freind tries K9copy + dvd:rip but both require you to make individual settings for the encoding of each track you rip. selecting this globally does not seem possible. [18:15] gump_: btw! google for some alternative. [18:16] ActionParsnip, (i ask why not because I doubt that it's the best answer, but because I'd like to understand too) [18:16] said linux is actually ubuntu lucid [18:16] its just plain "http://pastebin.com" [18:16] randy_: dvdshrink rill run in Wine [18:16] wweasel: samba can be accessed by nearly anything and will allow access from a larger amount of systems, the security in sshfs is unneeded as it is only for LAN streaming and samba shares are by far the easiest to setup [18:17] idlecool: done, i think i found something. thanks [18:17] randy_: you can use dvdshrink with wine [18:17] abhishek: he wants you to upload your xorg.conf to pastebin and give him the link to that [18:17] abhishek: ok what is output when you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [18:17] ActionParsnip: is there no other way , like a monitor driver update or somin, which recognises my samsung 2243lnx and its default resoulution [18:17] randy_: acidrip maybe [18:17] hello everyone, is it possible to move the notification-bubbles? [18:17] ActionParsnip, I am running XBMC on a Ubuntu 10.04 HTPC, and it will be streaming videos, mostly SD but some HD, over a wired network (100, not gigabit). The server is Debian stable. [18:17] sorry to ask again, i'm doing a localmirror on an external harddrive, but i don't want to configure apache on each computer to use the mirror (locally) theadmin told me that i can use the line "deb file:/media/ExternalDrive/ubuntu-repo" or something like that to do it, but i don't know if i have to add something at the end like "deb file:/media/ExpansionDrive/ubuntu-repo/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid" or similar [18:17] Gump_: welcome :) [18:17] undecim, InvaderZim: thanks for your help. but that's a bit sad of an answer, I was hoping for a native solution. [18:18] ActionParsnip, streaming videos from the server. [18:18] randy_: k9copy works just fine [18:18] Reagent me a gui program for make programs in each lng [18:18] ohh!! thax nightlyuser [18:18] i understand now [18:18] abhishek: if you have 3d accel then the driver is doing its thing. You could remove the current driver, add the nvidia-vdpau ppa and install nvidia-glx-185 which will give the 195 driver, works here on my 6150 [18:18] InvaderZim: FullFlannelJacke automatically without a need to select tracks and their encoding? it didn't look like it. [18:18] wweasel: samba is fine [18:18] InvaderZim: fully automatically without a need to select tracks and their encoding? it didn't look like it. [18:19] Reagent me a gui program for make programs in each lng [18:19] FullFlannelJacke: sorry, ignore me [18:19] randy_: I neved had to do that [18:19] undecim http://paste.ubuntu.com/439451/ [18:20] InvaderZim: doesn't this seem like a logical approach? you have one DVD and you want a complete copy of it... [18:20] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/WxPTzCh2 [18:20] undecim i am just teaching myself ubuntu [18:20] randy_: yes, I just click on copy [18:20] ffmpeg does not have x264 encoding profiles in lucid! [18:20] Wow! Empathy ROCKS!! [18:20] where did they go? [18:20] randy_: I don't select tracks and enconding [18:20] InvaderZim: so it just copies but doesn't transcode then? [18:21] randy_: its configured to a dvd size of 4400MB [18:21] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/tjNVhR03 [18:21] randy_: it will reencode to shrink [18:21] abhishek: sorry he's gone [18:21] randy_: you can change that in settings [18:21] omg i actually learnt what pastebin was and he left [18:21] *sigh [18:22] any body else can help me? [18:22] sorry to ask again, i'm doing a localmirror on an external harddrive, but i don't want to configure apache on each computer to use the mirror (locally) theadmin told me that i can use the line "deb file:/media/ExternalDrive/ubuntu-repo" or something like that to do it, but i don't know if i have to add something at the end like "deb file:/media/ExpansionDrive/ubuntu-repo/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid" or similar [18:22] its a simple resolution problem , i think [18:22] abhishek: i'll try [18:22] abhishek: can you upload your xorg.conf file? [18:22] i cant get my ubuntu to display my monitors max resolution [18:22] michelle_: Are you able to connect at all with wireless? [18:23] umm what code should i paste in terminal for that output :) ? [18:23] undecim no it has been troubling me for the past week [18:23] hi, i'm having some trouble with samba and symlinks - i get access denied for any symlinks. pls help [18:23] abhishek, get the file, it's on the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:23] undecim since i installed ubuntu [18:23] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: check the rights on the symlinks target [18:23] abhishek: copy the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin and give me the link === maciek_ is now known as Guest165 [18:24] abhishek: in terminal xrandr lists the available resolutions [18:24] michelle_: Run "iwconfig" in a terminal === Guest165 is now known as hubi123 [18:25] someone can throw me some light on my issue please? [18:25] ||arifaX: root owns the files, but 777 permissions [18:25] permission denied when i type " /etc/X11/xorg.conf " in terminal [18:25] undecim ok' [18:25] Hi, With 10.04 I have problems with my usb speakers. The sound is very low until a certain level (see http://home.imf.au.dk/mickep/volume.png ). If I raise it just a little bit over that level, it gets terribly high. Any ideas? [18:25] abhishek: open the folder on nautilus, then copy the file to your desktop and then to pastebin [18:26] nautilus? [18:26] abhishek: use the file manager to find /etc/X11/xorg.conf open it with a text editor and copy it to pastebin, then give me the link [18:26] ||arifaX: even setting "follow symlinks" and "wide links" to yes doesn't work [18:26] the default file explorer [18:26] undecim what next [18:26] thanks InvaderZim [18:26] just go to "Places->Computer" [18:26] hey everyone, I am rescuing a windows install from linux. Is it possible to use the chntpw tool to search a windows registry for keys with a certain value? I can only browse it and modify the registry, but not search. Or is there any other tool to access a windows registry from inside linux? [18:26] michelle_: What was the output of iwconfig? [18:26] michelle_: put it in a pastebin [18:26] jus a sec im trying to find it [18:26] SmokeyD: What do you want to modify the registry for? [18:27] Please help me with this, i'm doing a localmirror on an external harddrive, but i don't want to configure apache on each computer to use the mirror (locally) theadmin told me that i can use the line "deb file:/media/ExternalDrive/ubuntu-repo" or something like that to do it, but i don't know if i have to add something at the end like "deb file:/media/ExpansionDrive/ubuntu-repo/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main lucid" or similar [18:27] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: check this out first http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-set-permissions-to-samba-shares.html [18:27] askhader: to circumvent an access control mechanism, no doubt [18:27] helo: Bah stupid Winbl0wz [18:27] askhader:takes too much time to explain. Just suppose I want to, how would I search it. I can edit it, just not search it from within ubuntu I think.... [18:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/439453/ [18:27] do i have to add "main lucid" or something like that to work or can i use only the path to the pool folder? [18:27] undecim http://paste.ubuntu.com/439453/ [18:28] hello everyone! i updated my notebook from 9.10 to 10.04, and i used to have an option menu when i clicked with the right mouse button over an image, and let me "convert" the image to some smaller formats. now I dont got it, how do i get it back? [18:28] ActionParsnip, using 32bit [18:28] datacrusher: Do you know hwo to use Gimp? [18:28] datacrusher: Or fspot? [18:28] michelle_: Do you see your network and cannot connect, or do you not see your network at all? [18:28] Lengend: what video card? [18:28] datacrusher: that might be a nautilus script [18:29] bye bye [18:29] askhader, i got both here, bit i need that fast tool [18:29] very useful [18:29] to batch convert many images [18:29] when i open fspot it keeps thinking forever [18:29] datacrusher: Hmm, it was probably something that Ubuntu decided to remove with the upgrade. I cannot think of what it is off the top of my head [18:29] only works with small folders [18:29] Lengend: lspci | grep -i vga ,will tell you [18:29] i havn't been able to find or connect to networks [18:29] NightlyUser:http://pastebin.com/rE1hY5sk [18:30] ||arifaX: i think my setup is ok - filesystem permissions are 777, and have browsable = yes, read only = yes and guest ok = yes in the smb.conf file while defining the share [18:30] wow i figured it out [18:30] undecim ^^^with this laptop === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [18:30] did u get the link? [18:30] is that what u wanted? [18:30] ActionParsnip, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce Go 7600] (rev a1) [18:30] Datacrusher: if its for batch manipulation then you can use the imagemagick toolset in bash scripts [18:30] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: also on the target, where the symlink points to? [18:30] ||arifaX: yes thats correct [18:30] ActionParsnip:http://pastebin.com/rE1hY5sk [18:31] is that what u asked for earlier? [18:31] michelle_: Do you have an ethernet connection you can use to connect this laptop to the internet? [18:31] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: are you connecting with a linux or windows machine? [18:31] Lengend: you could try the 10.1 flash plugin. Uninstall all flash packages. Grab the linux tar.gz file and extract it. Copy the .so file to your browsers plugin directory [18:31] datacrusher: downlaod nautilus scripts from gnome-look.org/ [18:31] ||arifaX: Windows machine [18:31] for imagemagik? [18:31] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: what version? [18:31] abhishek: yes, thats the right file [18:32] undecim yes that is how i am on [18:32] phew , i m sorry im hard to work with, its just im new to this stuff, please bear with me [18:32] ||arifaX: windows xp, samba v 2.3.4.7 [18:32] abhishek: are you at 1680x1050 res? [18:32] michelle_: alright (thought you might be on another computer, lol). Everything seems to be fine hardware-wise, I think the problem might be the network manager... [18:32] michelle_: Try installing "wicd" which is an alternate network manager [18:33] yes thats my monitors max resolution but im at somin diffeternt [18:33] undecim : [18:33] currently im at 1034x 768 [18:33] sorry 1024 x 768 [18:33] undecim :) i havn't been to this idea yet i am going to try it [18:34] Hi! I'm a total noob in both IRC and Ubuntu... can someone help via private chat please? [18:34] Abhishek: in the subsection in the screen section, under the depth 24 line: Modes "1024x768_60" [18:34] jr-minnaar: whats your problem? [18:34] Jut installed 10.04 and got some problems [18:34] Abhishek: obv change 1024x768 to your usual res [18:34] michelle_: After installing, you will need to run "sudo service network-manager stop" and "sudo service wicd restart" in the terminal to give wicd control of the card [18:35] My usb ports are extremely slow [18:35] Abhishek: save the file and reboot. If it doesn't fly try changing the underscore to an @ [18:35] abhishek: looking at that file, it should default to max res [18:35] undecim http://paste.ubuntu.com/439457/ [18:35] jr-minnaar: what makes you think they are slower then usual? [18:35] sorry i dint get u, subsection where? [18:35] in that text of xconfig? [18:36] ||arifaX: wow, think i got it sorted - adding "unix extensions = no" to global config seems to have fixed it [18:36] in that text of the file i gave you , should i modify that? [18:36] abhishek: yes xorg.conf [18:36] Abhishek: in the screen section of xorg.conf there is a subsection named display. Add it there [18:36] I plugged in my usual flashdisk and tried to copy something from it. It took very long. Also my usb mouse is sluggish and responds with a delay [18:36] michelle_: Are you able to view web pages? [18:36] abhishek: make sure you edit it as root [18:36] <||arifaX> km [18:37] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: kay [18:37] <||arifaX> rampageoberon: I would read http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html and search for "windows". check out if one of the settings might help you [18:37] can someone help me with a local mirror question? [18:37] undecim yes [18:37] jr-minnaar: when responding could you place use my name? is your machine completing any tasks? try opening terminal and typing top [18:37] michelle_: Try agian. I think that error is a fluke [18:37] thanks for the help ||arifaX, appreciate it [18:37] undecim tho i have trouble getting almost every apt i want [18:37] !ask | LordNeo [18:37] LordNeo: 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. :-) [18:37] nc (netcat) no longer has a -e option; what happened to this and how can i regain this functionality? [18:38] i already posted my question but noone answered :P [18:38] undecim could i have a repository problem [18:38] here it goes again, i'm doing a local mirror, and i want to know how is the line i need to add to sources.list [18:38] undecim tried twice same thing [18:38] Psycho_mario: what did the -e switch achieve? [18:38] umm which line the "twin " or the "metamodes" and how do i edit it as root?" [18:38] michelle_: Try going to system -> Administration -> Software sources and change "Download from" from United States to Main Server [18:38] someone told me it has to be something like "deb file:/path/to/pool/" [18:38] Like this? no only the usual processes are listed [18:39] Abhishek: under the Depth 24 line [18:39] michelle_: Then try again [18:39] but i don't know if i need to add something like "main" "lucid" or something like that [18:39] or can i use only the path [18:39] ActionParsnip; it enabled you to have basically a bash shell waiting at the other end, so you could execute commands. massive security flaw i know, but it was useful [18:39] u mean default depth? [18:39] jr-minnaar: yes. in the top menu. what is your load avg? top right of the window [18:40] Abhishek_: to edit as root run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ,you ran the command earlier [18:40] LordNeo: I think that it needs to work the same way as http. So add those like you would add an http mirror [18:40] and how do i knw if im editing it as root? [18:40] undecim, well, i don't know exactly wich ones should i use :S [18:40] abishek: what ActionParsnip said [18:40] LordNeo: "lucid main" on the end, for example [18:40] i just installed apt-mirror and modified the destinations directories xD [18:41] In gnome when you press the display key (fn + f4 on my laptop) what command does it run to cycle through different display configurations (for projectors/ext monitors etc) [18:41] k [18:41] My load average is 0.15, 0.75, 0.9 [18:41] ubuntu doesn't recognize my monitor, it's a flatron LG capable of resolutions greater than 800x600... transparency in AWN doesn't render either. I've tried a couple of tutorials but nothing works [18:42] juanca: Have you make sure that you've enabled any video drivers available in system -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers? [18:42] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/b9geYVcS this is my mirror.list [18:42] jr-minnaar: is may be a usb driver problem. someone else will need to help [18:42] do i have to add a line per each line on this? [18:43] Thanks [18:43] Lordneo: if nobody replys, ask in #bash ,they have mad skills [18:43] LordNeo: Just replace http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu with the path yo your local mirror [18:43] so then i do have to add a line per each [18:43] It seems i've got a USB driver problem after a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.04? Any help out there? [18:43] LordNeo: yup [18:43] thanks undecim, i will keep the ActionParsnip suggestion [18:43] undecim: with that I only get a window that says I'm not using propietary controllers [18:44] to see if i can reduce it to only one line [18:44] juanca: Open a terminal and run "lspci | grep VGA" and post the output [18:44] jr-minnaar: maybe this can help you. http://ocaoimh.ie/ubuntu-linux-slow-external-usb-drive/ [18:45] Lordneo: if you only want one line, rename the current file and make a new one with the one line which works [18:45] Resno: again thank you very much. I'll try that! [18:45] re [18:45] is there a way to nfs mount my google docs? [18:47] Chgney: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread253207.html [18:47] ok, I got a serious speed problem with lucid now. it is a box with a nvidia card. 3d rendering seems ok, even 2d, but the menus and the content of windows take hjust 10 seconds to appear. e.g. start a terminal, window is there in no time, but the content (the actual terminal) takes 10 secs or so. using nvidia-current .. [18:47] I have been reading launchpad all day, but nothing helped. [18:47] any experts on that problem here? [18:48] Artisan: does it happen with all users? [18:48] umm , it dint work [18:48] Flash on my 64-bit 10.04 install is a horrible experience. And I guess I'm not the only one. Anyone have any solutions to this? [18:48] chegney: Check this out: http://code.google.com/p/google-docs-fs/ [18:48] i rebooted and its still the same [18:48] artisan, which nvidia card? [18:48] Hello! [18:48] im pretty sure i did it in the root mode and all [18:48] abhishek: can you paste the new xorg.conf? [18:48] BluesKaj: GForce 8600 GT [18:48] ActionParsnip: I just try, good point! [18:48] artisan: doesn't sound like an nvidia problem to me.. [18:48] I'm trying to change my default WM in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to stumpwm. I have successfully compiled stumpwm and put it on my PATH (I know this because if I open up a terminal and type stumpwm, it runs). [18:49] artisan: have you checked top/htop/System Monitor? [18:49] I put the PATH-mangling bits in .profile, where AFAIK Gnome ought to see them. However, Gnome starts no WM at all. [18:49] sounds like slow disc read [18:49] yup just a sec [18:49] lvh: put the path in /etc/environment maybe? === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [18:49] gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager # returns stumpwm as expected. [18:49] Hey guys, is there a mirror keyserver for keyserver.ubuntu.com? Seems like its down atm [18:49] stianhj: Wait, why would I need to change a system PATH for one user? [18:50] lvh: Do like stianhj said and put it in /etc/environment [18:50] stianhj: It's installed in ~/, not /. [18:50] lvh: because you need ubuntu to find stumpwm before you log in as a user to have it as an option? [18:50] lvh: Maybe put it in /usr/local? [18:50] lvh: are you using gdm? [18:50] stianhj: Isn't that gnome-session's job? [18:50] artisan, nvidia-current is the right driver for your 8600gt , gotta be some other app hogging your cpu and graphics memory [18:50] Yes. [18:51] stianhj: stianhj, htop and iotop don't give anything useful, system is calm, memory low usage. I suspect nvidia because of no other trace .. but otoh compiz --replace changes nothing as well as metacity --replace :/ [18:51] Reemo: pgp.mit.edu is one [18:51] lvh: You can also use an absolute path with the gconf setting [18:51] BluesKaj: nope, all calm, cpu and memory nearly unused .. thats the strange thing [18:51] Since gconftool --get /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager returns stumpwm, I would expect the thing that's responsible for running stumpwm to be running as my user already. [18:51] artisan; is your hard drive got any bad spots on disc check [18:51] artisan: could try the driver on the xswat ppa [18:51] :http://pastebin.com/VBY7iVzz [18:51] How do I make the terminal beep/make a noise (like echo -ne "\a"). I'm trying to use things like audible ping, but I don't get any sound from the terminal :S [18:52] Since the WM is running as my user, and not the user gdm is running as. [18:52] lvh: but that's just a string [18:52] artisan, are you running a network server or vnc ? [18:52] lvh: the gconftool thing [18:52] Dmstrdj: hm, I doubt that. System monitor would show alot of IO if the HD would be faulty. [18:52] NightlyUser: did u get it [18:52] NightlyUser: i tried both @ and _ [18:52] stianhj: Isn't that what you're supposed to do? http://mikael.jansson.be/log/trying-out-stumpwm [18:53] Actionparship .. gone [18:53] abhishek: i see it [18:53] guys, how to bzip a directory? [18:53] xswat ppa, I try that, tried xorg-edgers, but no change [18:53] Hi everybody! Any ideas on what is the best beat-making software out there for Linux? [18:53] xomp: tar it first [18:53] lvh: if you're just trying stumpwm out, u can apt-get install stumpwm, and select it from the login screen [18:53] xomp: tar turns directories into files, bz2 compresses them. [18:54] hey folks, I'm looking to compress an AVI file (a video I made) from 1.5 GB to any file under 500MB, any suggestions? [18:54] BluesKaj: no vnc server. network is not hogged at all :/ [18:54] !xorg [18:54] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [18:54] StevenR: In your terminal profile, check that "Terminal bell" is enabled, and that the main audio control is not muted. If you're in an X11 environment, the beep usually goes to the audio system and not the system speaker. [18:54] lvh, ok, how do I do that? lol [18:54] lvh: the problem you're having, as far as i can see, is that you expect gnome to find a PATH variable for a spesific user before you log in as that user [18:54] NightlyUser: so is it like solvable? [18:54] just want to put it on vimeo [18:54] stianhj: Lucid' stump is pretty broken, there's a reason I'm running it from git master. [18:54] <_stas_> Hello! Has anyone experienced any problems installing Ubuntu 10.04 ? I am starting installation -> BLACK SCREEN -> REBOOT [18:54] stianhj: I don't understand why it can't just run ~/.xsession. [18:54] mkjackson: apt-get install winff or handbrake [18:54] abhishek: bare with me... [18:54] BluesKaj: what else do you mean by 'network server' ? (couple of services running on that box though) [18:54] hi. each time i try to enable an emerald theme the theme manager shuts down and nothing happens. is anyone aware of this situation? [18:54] NightlyUser:sorry im just a bit anxious... :) [18:54] dajhorn: yeah, I've checked those, doesn't work. I'm using ubuntu 10.04, gnome, and gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal. [18:55] dajhorn: I don't actually mind if I get a pcspkr beep or a cutesy wav file beep, just a noise of some sort :) [18:55] abhishek: take a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Setting resolution changes in xorg.conf [18:55] lvh: because gdm doesn't use .xsession? [18:55] stianhj: Yes, I'm wondering why it can't. [18:55] dajhorn: sound works from rhythmbox, totem and rhythmbox [18:56] stianhj: It can use system-wide xsessions, apparently. [18:56] NightlyUser: ----> im taking a look.. what exactly am i suppposed to look @? [18:56] lvh, I take the hint lol thanks [18:56] I'll see what google says [18:56] what is medibuntu? [18:57] StevenR: Check System -> Preferences -> Sound and try the default sounds. A theme can override the beep. [18:57] NightlyUser: it looks like the stuff u just said, as in the same codes [18:57] Maybe I should rephrase the question. How can I use window managers that aren't installed system-wide with gdm? [18:57] artisan, well I experienced a similar problem with vnc on my network using my box as a server for other home-networked pcs [18:57] anyone has a pointer where the xswat ppa is? [18:57] like "modes " and the " resolutions" [18:57] lvh; just create gdm sessions instead [18:57] abhishek: see the section called screen? there is a subsection called display.. your xorg.conf should look like that with your resolution [18:57] <_stas_> Hello! Has anyone experienced any problems installing Ubuntu 10.04 ? I am starting installation -> BLACK SCREEN -> REBOOT [18:58] lvh: they are in /usr/share/xsession [18:58] lvh; i think [18:58] BluesKaj: okay, but did you have high load on the network? like in system monitor seeing the whole bandwidth congested? (because here i have around zero network usage/load) [18:58] !xswat [18:58] stianhj: So, there's no way to get gdm to run something different than what the system thinks I should be running, as my user, without elevating privileges? [18:58] dajhorn: yup, the default "ubuntu" theme is selected. Alert volume is turned up, and if I click a sound in the list, it plays. Just doesn't play in the terminal [18:58] how do I scp a file on a remote box to my local /home folder? [18:59] I am logged into the remote box. [18:59] artisan, yes vnc hogged cpu and bandwidth both [18:59] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, go! [18:59] abhishek: make sure modes has "1680x1050" [18:59] I can't find trash can in my Desktop ( Ubuntu-10.04 ) [18:59] BluesKaj: hm thanks for suggestion, but I seem to have a different issue here [18:59] umm .. it is thats u just saw it in pastebin [18:59] abhishek: it's important that it's indented properly too [19:00] umm indednted? [19:00] was able to open a file in terminal one day and now I can't????? [19:00] i mean indented? [19:00] anyone knows what ActionParship meant with the xswat ppa? I only find xorg-edgers .. o.O [19:00] [Q] Ubuntu-10.04 has no trash can ? [19:00] lvh: I'm not sure.. but getting a stumpwm you've compiled yourself to work with gdm is no problem at all.. [19:00] abhishek: see the word modes lines up with the word depth underneath it [19:01] leejongwook: why it shouldn't? [19:01] lvh: with elevated privileges [19:01] leejongwook: at least here it has [19:01] stianhj: Right. I just don't understand why it needs elevated privileges. [19:01] Hi [19:01] oh!! [19:01] ok [19:01] artisan, I see, Thanks ;) I didn't wipe out all the things I had before I install new Ubuntu :P [19:01] stianhj: xdm, for example, just sources .xsession. startx uses .xinitrc. No elevated privileges. [19:01] lvh: man su, man sudoers [19:01] udo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [19:02] ^^ that for the record: x-swat ppa [19:02] can someone tell me what this means http://paste.ubuntu.com/439475/ [19:02] ohir: Yes, that's elevating privilege. [19:02] I just enabled the emerald window decorator with 'emerald --replace' but i would like to go back to metacity. how do I do it? [19:02] ohir: My point is that there's no technical reason why. Since existing software *does* it. [19:02] Anyone know how to get the kernel module ATL1C? Could compile it from source, but the machine it's for doesn't have linux, so I need to compile it on another machine with a different kernel version? Trying to install ubuntu server, but the module to the ethernet driver isn't there, hence no internet connection. [19:02] (In fact, I think gdm's default configuration under Debian does it, too.) [19:03] Can anyone answer my question? [19:03] valentino_tuga: metacity --replace [19:03] lvh: I don't know, but why is this a problem? and why not use xdm them? or slim? [19:03] I installed a minimalist Karmic using the alternative cd, and did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Now rkhunter is giving a LOT of warnings, and it wasnt before the upgrade. Also, when I tried to run irssi it made it so my keyboard would lag. I needed to hold down the key for at least 1 second or tap the key twice for a character to appear. After two reboots, the irssi problem appears to have fixed itself. [19:03] btw, another one for the record: I remember now, that the solution to a similar issue was to install an xserver package with 'no-backfill' ... [19:03] lvh: if you want to know why - read docs/forums/code of given package. If you do think it should work w/o elevated priviledges - discuss it with package authors [19:03] thanks bastidrazor [19:03] MGC_, Whats your question [19:04] Yo yo yo [19:04] lvh: if they did it because its easier - then do not use ;) [19:04] ccmonster: scp /path/to/file user@host:~/ ..you'll need openssh-server running on your home box [19:04] ohir: I'm not sure gdm devs care (nor should they) when Ubuntu's gdm doesn't and Debian's does. [19:04] ohir: How is this easier for anyone? [19:04] I was able to open a file yesterday in terminal, but it wont open today. [19:04] MGC_: use sudo? [19:04] ohir: It's pretty simple. If .xsession exists, it's an option. If it doesn't, obviously it's not. [19:04] yes [19:04] : i edited now im gonna reboot [19:04] Did you chec the permisions? If you opened it as root yesterday maybe you user doent have perms now [19:04] MGC_: are you usre the file exists? [19:05] may god help me [19:05] hi follks, how do i get the latest software updates on 10.04 now? [19:05] lvh: display manager do run their core as root, they need to login users [19:05] what command do i run? [19:05] constirhhea: apt-get update [19:05] yes, file should be there. [19:05] lvh: managers* [19:05] hi guys [19:05] ok [19:05] ohir: Yes, I understand that. [19:05] : if u are free and this dosnt work , after i rebbot , can u help me [19:05] MGC_: what file type is it? [19:05] lvh: yeah, it's the design of gdm. you can't edit xdm conf itself without elevated priv. [19:05] i have 9.10, how can i downlod the packages for the upgrade to 10.4 without installing them? is it possible via synaptic? [19:05] kull: and downloading of the updates?... [19:06] ohir: So? Eventually they run something as a user. In fact, they run an entirely similar file as a user. [19:06] im a new user though. my son installed it and opened the file before he left. [19:06] Abhishek: sure til half past when I have work [19:06] constirhhea: sudo apt-get update will download the updates. [19:06] ohir: The difference is if the file lives in /usr/share/xsessions or ~/.xsession. [19:06] cheater99: uhmm no, but [19:06] cheater99: well maybe, but [19:06] !offline | cheater99 [19:06] cheater99: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [19:06] lvh: similar != same [19:06] MGC_: what kind of file is it? I cant help unless I know that. [19:06] celtx [19:06] kul, um... i mean... more than that [19:06] lvh: there are things that root might but user should not do [19:06] not sure how to explain it [19:06] how do i find out what brand wifi hardware i have [19:07] !wireless | michelle_ [19:07] michelle_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:07] Cheater99: use the alternate iso and you will be ok (remember to md5 test) [19:07] michelle_: lspci in a terminal [19:07] =] [19:07] ... kull, but you know how sometimes you get the screen saying that there are X number of updates, with a button you can click to install them all. [19:07] !md5sum | cheater99 [19:07] cheater99: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:07] michelle_: or if you're using a usb dongle .. lsusb [19:07] Michelle_: sudo lshw -C network [19:07] lvh: the difference is that first file is global settings for all users and second is for particular user [19:07] i want the packages for this machine [19:07] Michelle_: the brand is moot, you need to know the chip [19:07] ohir: Yes, I understand that. [19:07] i just don't want to oversee the upgrade right now [19:08] ActionParsnip: help plzz same prob still hasnt gone [19:08] ohir: gdm runs gnome-session as my user, because /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop wants it to. [19:08] dajhorn: any ideas on how to make my terminal beep? [19:08] abhishek: paste you new xorg.conf [19:08] cheater99: uhmm 9.10 is fine untill the end of October. also 10.10 will come out early on Sunday the 10th of October instead of Thursday the 28th [19:08] ohir: I want it to run a different thing as a user. Why is that so bad? === user__ is now known as eja [19:08] cheater99: uh fine untill next year I mean [19:08] k [19:08] why is it fine until end of october? [19:08] cheater99: April next year [19:08] lvh: Then it's the design of GDM. And this is way off topic for this channel now.. [19:08] what does that mean? :) [19:08] cheater99: still supported until the end of April next year with security updates [19:08] ohir: It's not a security hole. It just runs a different program, but *both* are ran as my user. There is no elevation of privilege. [19:08] Hey guys, I want to ask how can I learn the basics of linux, ubuntu in general. I am beginner, but have you used Ubuntu a few times. I don't know much though, but I want to learn more about it. I know some sort of A-Z tutorials, can you reccomend some resources? [19:08] stianhj: Fine. [19:09] Abhishek: find some sample xorg.conf files and try parts of their contents in yours. My web access on this phone is painful if I want the battery to last so I can't help in searches [19:09] http://pastebin.com/EbTRdnDD [19:09] cheater99: Newer is not always better! If your using a supported version, its ok to still use that untill it goes end of life. [19:09] !eol | cheater99 [19:09] cheater99: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [19:09] hi guys, i've done a debootstrap install of ubuntu 10.04 and installed xubuntu-desktop but I don't want it to load xwindows by default. how do i change the default runlevel? [19:10] ActionParsnip: ok i understand [19:10] sebsebseb, ok, makes sense, thank you [19:10] lvh: read about xorg initialization flow then think where you want to put your stuff to start with your session [19:10] NightlyUser: http://pastebin.com/EbTRdnDD [19:10] Anyone know how to get the kernel module ATL1C? Could compile it from source, but the machine it's for doesn't have linux, so I need to compile it on another machine with a different kernel version? Trying to install ubuntu server, but the module to the ethernet driver isn't there, hence no internet connection. [19:10] why does gnome-system-monitor take up so much cpu usage? [19:10] dgx: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html is a decent bit of information [19:10] constirhhea: Just open Celtix by typing it's name into the terminal, then open the file from within the program. [19:10] Eja: remove the gdm thing from the bootup. You will then get console based logon [19:10] abhishek: is that a space or a tab between the word modes and the res? [19:10] I installed a minimalist Karmic using the alternative cd, and did an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, then apt-get dist-upgrade. Now rkhunter is giving a LOT of warnings, and it wasnt before the upgrade. Also, when I tried to run irssi it made it so my keyboard would lag. I needed to hold down the key for at least 1 second or tap the key twice for a character to appear. After two reboots, the irssi problem appears to have fixed itself. [19:10] hello [19:10] eja: it's in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf [19:10] lvh: hint: it will likely be in directory with .d sufix :) [19:10] hello all, hope that my 3rd visit to this channel will help me. i have a lenovo s10 idea pad and it runs ubuntu 10.04. broadcom wifi card can access my wifi network at office but i am not able to access ad hoc home network on that same laptop. [19:11] thanks stianhj [19:11] Tecurik: could use ndiswrapper [19:11] cheater99: np [19:11] NightlyUser: jus a sec , even i dont knw [19:11] abhishek: it looks like a space, but it should be a tab [19:11] Tecurik: or boot to a live cd on the same pc and build it there and then copy to the internal pertitions [19:12] lvh: if you want runn something as your user but before your session starts, use /etc/rc.local and su [19:12] its a space [19:12] lvh: or use cron, or use at [19:12] * ohir afk [19:13] abhishek: it should be a tab, looks like you gotta change it and restart again [19:13] NightlyUser: ok i removed the space and put a tab instead [19:13] !away > ohir [19:13] ohir, please see my private message [19:13] see ya fter the restatr [19:14] kk_hacker: not an answer to you problem, but a small suggestion: if you cant figure this out then perhaps an IRC name change is something to consider ;) I hope somone knows how to help you with your wifi problem. I'd try ##linux if #ubuntu cant help. #hardware might be a good place to ask, too. [19:14] which runlevel is console only? i changed it from 2 to 3 but still get gdm loading [19:14] hello, i want to rename the suffix of list of files i.e *.png to *.jpg , but mv complains , any idea how to do it , thanks [19:14] !tor [19:14] Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks More information available in #freenode [19:14] !runlevels | eja [19:14] eja: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [19:14] Hi I have bought a pctv stereo solo nano stick, but I have trouble getting it to work in tvtime. If I start it it tries to acces my webcam at /dev/video0 [19:15] !upstart [19:15] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [19:15] but when I change it to video1,2,3,4 etc tvtime doesnt recognize the stick [19:15] kull: this has been frustrating me for last 3 days [19:15] eja: can you just sudo apt-get remove gdm then apt-get autoremove? [19:15] vika23, rename -n 's/png$/jpg/' *.png [19:15] u knw what i quit im having a bad fever , and i think im gonna faint, i rally wanted this to work. but may be better luck next time [19:15] unop: thanks i will try it [19:15] abhishek: you've been very patient [19:15] anyone got any suggestion on how to convert 1800 html docs to pdf? [19:16] vika23, the -n causes it to do a dry-run i.e. it doesn't actually do the rename just shows you what it will do, if you're happy with that, take the -n off to do the actual rename [19:16] !install tor [19:16] Unop: or use convert / mogrify [19:16] well, i aint the type to quit, or give up, but now i am definitely gonna faint [19:16] ActionParsnip, that's a bit unnecessary [19:16] Is anyone familiar with Kuki linux? [19:16] kull: the funny part is that my wifi network is visible to the top panel network icon but it keeps asking me for authentication and I checked all forums and every where possible. [19:17] dann: this channel is for ubuntu linux only [19:17] unop: thanks it works :) bye [19:17] i think its ubuntu based? or i dunno. sorry ill check elsewhere [19:17] can anyone say, should i install sun-java6-jdk or open-jdk ? [19:17] abhishek: sorry i couldn't help more [19:17] kk_hacker: did you enter your encryption key to access the network? You probably have a 128bit WEP passkey or something. [19:17] what does linux mint run off of? [19:18] dann: ubuntu based isn't ubuntu, so it's not supported here [19:18] Anyone know how to get the kernel module ATL1C? Could compile it from source, but the machine it's for doesn't have linux, so I need to compile it on another machine with a different kernel version? Trying to install ubuntu server, but the module to the ethernet driver isn't there, hence no internet connection. [19:18] kul yes i did and it is correct [19:18] orangeglo: Ubuntu, but they are not supported here [19:18] orangeglo: linux minut is it's only distro [19:18] Orangegio: its ubuntu based but is not ubuntu so is not supported here [19:18] what are some other big distros? [19:18] i'd like to give some other ones a shot [19:18] orangeglo: that's offtopic here - look on distrowatch.com [19:18] can someone tell me what the problem is here [19:18] NightlyUser: see ya later , hope there is a solution by that time.... and just so u knw this kinda problem popped up in my windows 7 and i got it to work only by installing the specific samsung monitor driver, so hope our approach want totally off the track, if there is such a thing in linux then please consier it also instead od the xconfig file [19:18] orangeglo: Fedora, Mandriva, Red Hat, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, CrunchBang [19:18] sorry [19:19] kull: it is wep 128 bit and the key is 123456789 [19:19] can someone tell me what the problem is here>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/439483/ [19:19] removing gdm just makes it prompt me for what i'd like to do (low graphics mode, console login) [19:19] Orangeglo: puppy, debian, suse, mandriva, dsl, xpud, gentoo [19:19] kk_hacker: never tell anyone the key -_- [19:19] abhishek: samsung monitor? [19:19] Orangeglo: there are tonnes. Hit up the distrowatch site [19:19] kull: well it is the key i entered and now the wifi network is off [19:19] yes i use a samsung monitor [19:20] hello everyone, I am new to ubuntu [19:20] what is obex-data-server and why anything i try to install this is in depends??? [19:20] kk_hacker: also, 12345678 doesnt seem like 128bit encryption hash. It shoudl be looong and have a varity of numbers and letters. [19:20] kull: any ways the key was all right but my lenovo s10 is refused the connection. [19:20] facing problems with my display drivers [19:20] Hi, I've got a quick question about the directory structure for a local net-install. [19:20] anyone to help me? [19:20] i dont have browser, i;ve used minimal image [19:20] !ask [19:20] 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. :-) [19:20] can anyone help me configure a wifi network in lucid [19:20] NightlyUser: samsung 2243 lnx (20"/22") [19:20] kull: ic. so what should be the key like for example [19:20] michelle_: seems the wireless is disabled in the bios perhaps [19:20] what's the upstart method of booting from console since the old style doesn't work in ubuntu 10? [19:20] I've copied the CD into the root of my http server, but apparently I need more than that. [19:21] have installed a 64bit version [19:21] kk_hacker: something that looks like bas8dubas769d7b9a8s7db98as7dbvasdisahdlksad89asd [19:21] err booting to console login rather [19:21] NightlyUser: -------->abhishek = faints [19:21] Anyone able to tell me what's missing? [19:21] tired [19:21] Blessjah: its part of bluetooth stuff for mobile devices to push and pull data [19:21] hi [19:21] cannot set the resolution to 1024X768 [19:21] well i ll see ya guys later [19:21] gottto how can i change that [19:21] kull: is there any limitation for the number of numbers and characters? [19:21] anyone to help me [19:21] ActionParsnip: i dont need bluetooth, i need firefox or gdebi or [a lot of stuff having obex in depends] [19:21] abhishek: i'm certain it can work with the right settings in xorg [19:21] Jasraj: Which graphics driver are you using? [19:22] How do I convert pdf files to text in ubuntu? [19:22] michelle_: at boot time you access the bios and change it's status [19:22] OK, better question, is there a channel for ubuntu-net installs? [19:22] well there is another guy hope the technique works for him (points to jasraj) ----->jasraj [19:22] thanks soreau - right now - have not installed any driver [19:22] abhishek: try looking through the ubuntu forums for others with your specific monitor [19:22] eja: If the recovery menu option doesn't work, then try appending init=/bin/bash to the grub line. [19:22] kk_hacker: it is generated by your router when you enable the WEP encryption on your router. At least, on my network taht's how it works. If you dont have that long-ass'd passkey, you are not getting onto my network without hacing it. [19:22] its the system default one with 800X600 [19:22] hacking* [19:22] Jasraj: What card is it as reported by lspci|grep VGA ?/ [19:23] can anyone help me configure a wifi network in lucid [19:23] is it possible to build a server that hosts files on this machine with out a router like from eth1 on this machine to eth0 on the machine that hosts the files that way eth0 on this machine isn't buged down with a bad router [19:23] kull: by the way my card is bcm430 [19:23] Sageb: sure [19:23] how [19:23] I need to check that.. i am using linux/ubuntu for the first time so plz pardon me [19:23] I really confused [19:23] NightlyUser: i never had this prob berfore when i installed 9.10(like 4 times) updated the display diver and nothig else === gurjeet_ is now known as gurjeet [19:23] kul: it perfectly connects to my office wifi network [19:23] Sageb: youll need two nics. and you need to set up samba [19:24] dajhorn: the recovery menu option works i'd just prefer it to go straight to a console login as it did before xubuntu-desktop was installed. [19:24] my office network has a wpa2 incription and kul: the key is just 4 digits [19:24] Sageb: and if you are using more then one computer youll need a switch. [19:24] kk_hacker: it sounds like your not using encryption at work, which is why you can access it without inputing an excryption key. Log into your router via your browser and access the WEP key. [19:24] is there a tutorial for this [19:24] abhishek: same graphics card aswell? [19:24] if I boot from a live cd (10.0.4) what is the password for the ubuntu user? [19:24] yup [19:24] I'm trying to connect to a wifi network which is being detected by ubuntu and is showing full signal strength in nm-applet menu. but i'm not able to connect. plz i need urgent help [19:24] resno, no switch [19:24] kull: we have wpa2 incription in office [19:24] nothings changed [19:24] kk_hacker: password and passkey are not teh same [19:24] resno, from computer a to computer b only [19:25] Sageb: search setting up samba [19:25] ah!! i installed this from usb stick(ubuntu 9.10) [19:25] abhishek: that is odd, mind you the nvidia drivers are closed source [19:25] kull: here is what I did to setup my ad hoc connection [19:25] ok [19:25] Flash on my 64-bit 10.04 install is a horrible experience. And I guess I'm not the only one. Anyone have any solutions to this? [19:25] !samba [19:25] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [19:25] kull: just clicked on the top panel icon and create new wifi connection. it only asked me incription type essid and the passphrase to give [19:25] hello all ,I have a question..I have a vps and a domain...I created the name server at the domain registers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com that goes to the vps ip and then set the domain to these nameservers the problem is that is not resolving..what do I have to do next? [19:25] eja: On a regular Ubuntu computer, look at the /etc/init/gdm.conf file and disable that upstart service. On Ubuntu variants, the display manager could be something like /etc/init/xdm.conf, /etc/init/kdm.conf, or somesuch. [19:25] i entered it and then try connecting my idea pad [19:25] kleanchap: pdftotext [19:26] does anyone know how to use reprepro? [19:26] danutz: youd have better luck asking in #ubuntu-server [19:26] kull: i gave what was asked that's it. [19:26] obstd, Thnx [19:26] ok [19:26] NightlyUser: only i downloaded a usb converter tool and converted the iso to usb bootable and installed ubuntu this time thats the only change [19:26] I'm trying to connect to a wifi network which is being detected by ubuntu and is showing full signal strength in nm-applet menu. but i'm not able to connect. plz i need urgent help [19:26] Hi, I was hoping someone could help me. I am having a problem with Resume and Suspend on my laptop. Whenever I use ether of them they never wake up. or if they do occasionally do wake up it takes more than 10 or 15 minutes. where a cold boot takes about 45 seconds. [19:26] Is there CLI tool to convert word document to text? [19:26] NightlyUser: cause my dvd drive died [19:26] pratik_narain: hey join the gang same problem here [19:27] kk_hacker: yeah fine [19:27] Can anyone here help with creating a local-only mirror for installing? Preferably using the files from the CD (slow connection). [19:27] abishek: i can't forsee that affecting your screen resolution or graphics drivers though [19:27] kk_hacker: word documents eww. however you could just copy in the text and save as text, or maybe save as text in Open Office or Abiword or KOffice? or convert to PDF :) [19:27] Stianhj: try the 64bit native flash. There is a method on adding a ppa and installing a package. Remove the flash packages you have installed now [19:27] dajhorn: i already modified "start on runlevel [xxx]" to include runlevel 2 in /etc/init/gdm.conf but then i boot to a black screen. still no console login [19:27] kyle_: for like a network install? Why not just use the CD/USB [19:27] danutz: In the TLR, ns1 and ns2 must have different addresses. Many registers won't properly publish your domain if you try to do that. [19:27] ActionParsnip: I currently have the native 64-bit plugin [19:27] dajhorn: "stop on runlevel" rather [19:27] pratik_narain: kul is trying to help me though and I think my problem might be solved [19:28] ActionParsnip: I've tried the 32-bit flashplugin-installer as well [19:28] kk_hacker: the passphrase is the WEP key, which isnt only 12345678 becaus ethat doesnt make sense to me, considering a 128bit key needs more characters than that. Log into yoru router. in a browser go to 192.168.1.1 and go to the wireless section. In teh security part there should be at least one WEP key there. Thats what you need. What kind of router do you have? The password to loginto your router should be admin or Admin if it's li [19:28] mguy, Because I've got several labs full of machines, some of which have been abused long enough that burned CDs barely read. [19:28] the domain can function with just one nameserver? [19:28] Stianhj: cool. Hopefully 10.1 will be 64bit soon and will run better on decent video cards [19:28] kleanchap: antiword [19:28] kleanchap: see above, messed up auto complete [19:28] eja: If you don't entirely disable the display manager, then your console could be on VT7. Try pushing CTRL+ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+F2. [19:28] danutz: if you only have one box, you can cheat, by giving it two ip addresses. It's a dirty trick, but pretty common. [19:28] Stianhj: try a different browser maybe [19:28] kull: I am not using a rooter. I am using my laptop to share an ad hoc connection [19:28] kyle_: Do those workstations support pxe boot [19:28] danutz: I've had to do that more than once to register DNS servers. [19:29] dajhorn: how do i entirely disable it? [19:29] NightlyUser: ubuntu was a dream to work on, fast light, eye candy... this is the first time im actually having trouble with this (my first experince with linux(open suse) was horible, then came ubuntu a dream) [19:29] mguy: they all do. But I've got one line out, and it's slow. [19:29] kull: and it just tells me to put a pass phrase for 128 bit key [19:29] eja: Also check that that you have getty processing running on tty1, tty2, or however many you want. [19:29] mguy: A net install off the the US ubuntu mirror takes over an hour. [19:29] kull: did you get the problem now? [19:29] kleanchap: ok i'll do the message again: word documents eww. however you could just copy in the text and save as text, or maybe save as text in Open Office or Abiword or KOffice? or convert to PDF :) [19:29] kull: in my office we have a proper access poing [19:29] kk_hacker: well, you're on yoru own then. I have no idea how to fix that without a router. You need to get router access to access that 128bit pass. [19:30] eja: Easy way -- Just move the file out of /etc/init. [19:30] kk_hacker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [19:30] kull: thanks but your hint might help me though [19:30] Hi! How do i edit a read only file from terminal? The file is /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [19:30] jr-minnaar: use sudo [19:30] sebsebseb, Thnx. [19:30] Thanks! [19:31] ok, problem persists even with x-swat nvidia packages. even using nv .. decription again: extreme lags in menu and click reactions all over the place in X. cpu is calm, memory enough spare, nvidia x-swat (256.xx.x) running, problem exists with or without compiz, no vnc or other network hogging service running. hd-io is calm as well. any hints? [19:31] eja: Notice that many other services in /etc/init have dependencies on gdm (and things that do the same thing as gdm). [19:31] kleanchap: np [19:31] I should say, _well_ over an hour. That was almost 30 minutes to get to the part where you select which type of ubuntu to install. [19:31] excuse me i need to know the product id of my wifi hardware but dont know how [19:31] kyle_: If you have a server to put the files on, setup dhcp and a tffp server [19:31] hi, i have a new install of lucid, and 2gb ram, 1gb swap. if i temporarily reduce my ram in this one (new ram next week - upgrading my boxes), can i run on 512 mb if i just run xchat and ubuntu ? [19:31] michelle_: open a terminal, sudo lshw -C network [19:31] kull: may i ask you as i'm having prolem connecting to my wifi router and i'm having wpa &wpa2 personal security not wep [19:32] JoeSomebody: Yes. [19:32] mguy: Did that. And I can net-boot them all into the ubuntu server. It's the local-mirror part I'm having trouble with. [19:32] JoeSomebody: Ubuntu can be run on 512MB RAM yeah [19:32] s/ubuntu server/ubuntu installer/g [19:32] kyle_: oh the apt mirror? [19:32] cool, i hate to rob the ram from my system but i gotta temporarily [19:32] dajhorn: is there a utility that is supposed to faciliate modifying /etc/init like update-rc.d does for sysV? [19:32] I did ran purge pulseuaido to get my spotify working, but now my sound on youtube etc doesn't work, how do I fix that? [19:32] mguy: yup. But because of the slow line I wanted to just copy the files off of CD. That and the fact tha the server is scientific-linux (RHEL clone with reasonable defaults). [19:33] michelle_: do you know how to open/use the terminal? [19:33] lungan: or you could not have uninstalled anything and tell wine to use pulseaudio [19:33] kyle_: When you say you're booting in to the server what does that mean [19:33] I was hoping someone could help me. I am having a problem with Resume and Suspend on my laptop. Whenever I use ether of them they never wake up. or if they do occasionally do wake up it takes more than 10 or 15 minutes. where a cold boot takes about 45 seconds. [19:33] stianhj yes novice [19:33] xangua, I did only have "OSS" in the menu, but do you know how to get back the sound on youtube etc?= [19:34] mguy: the clients PXE boot the ubuntu net-installer off of the server. [19:34] michelle_: then type the command you were given earlier [19:34] pratik_narain: you shoudl read the Ubuntu documentation on teh subject. Im sure the answer is in their wiki. [19:34] michelle_: sudo lshw -C network [19:34] michelle_: and then your password [19:34] eja: Dunno. My guess is no. [19:34] Does anyone uses Promise RAID card with Ubuntu ? [19:34] mguy: saying ubuntu-server was a typo on my part. [19:34] Hello! with all sources commented out (sources.list) apt-get update still returns failure to download some deluge binary [19:34] abuayyoub: what version of Ubuntu? [19:34] kull: thnx i'll try nd then return here [19:34] kyle_: I get what you're saying, it runs the installer from the network but wants to get the packages from the internet when you install [19:34] ownell, lucid [19:34] mguy: Right. And that's slow for me :) [19:35] lungan: try with flashplugin-nonfree.extrasound for OSS support [19:35] stianhj can u look at this two links and possibly help me make since of this, http://paste.ubuntu.com/439489/ and http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ [19:35] kyle_: Have you tried apt-mirror [19:36] mguy: 1) my server runs scientific linux, 2) doesn't that download everything, not just what's necessary to install? [19:36] why my backspace button is not working in mozila (go to the previsious page using backspace) . i tried do configure it (about:config in mozila and in the browser.backspace_action tab i set it up to 1 ). is still no working [19:36] how can i make the command line (the path where i am) in the console shorter? [19:36] owenll, I have lucid [19:36] michelle_: what are you trying to achieve? [19:36] kyle_l: Oh, why are you in #ubuntu then ;) [19:37] abuayyoub: seems to be a common problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1475694 [19:37] stianhj working wireless [19:37] mguy: ;) ubuntu on desktops, SL on servers. It makes me happy. [19:37] ionut: have you restarted the browser? [19:37] owenll: problems with swap re hibernation? [19:37] yes , i restarted it [19:37] abuayyoub: problems with swap re hibernation? [19:37] gottto: yes [19:37] k [19:37] I would think you might still be able to get apt-mirror or apt-cache to run === [unf] is now known as luchenbill [19:38] michelle_: which version of ubuntu are you using? [19:38] owenll, seems strange noone can seem to fix this. I been having the same problem since Daper, Drake [19:38] 10.04 === jynn_ is now known as jynn [19:38] hi does anyone know what package to install to get zope working on ubuntu? Im used to using zopectl command but it dosn't seem to work on ubuntu even though i have python-zope installed [19:38] heloooo [19:39] is anybody here? [19:39] hi [19:39] axy_david: Nope. [19:39] * jungli hugs jungli [19:39] nobody is here. [19:39] * jungli hugs jungli [19:39] hey is anybody who knows ppc? [19:39] axy_david: Haven't used a PPC box under linux in ages. But yes, I've used them. [19:39] who? [19:39] !anyone | axy_david [19:39] axy_david: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [19:40] ppc==PowerPC, yes? [19:40] ok [19:40] yeah [19:40] y0 agian [19:40] i cant boot 10.04 [19:40] i can boot 6.04 [19:40] but i cant install it [19:40] !ppc [19:40] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [19:40] michelle_: not been following your issue as such, but if you can't get the wireless working natively, you may have to use Ndiswrapper and get it working with a Windows driver. [19:40] hi michelle_, still at it? [19:40] mine is snow version [19:40] ubottu: Don't forget IBM servers and workstations. [19:40] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:40] what is iptables ? [19:41] Ahh. [19:41] ?!?!?!?!?!?! [19:41] Betawurst [19:41] axy_david: Sounds like you need to choose a different kernel. [19:41] list [19:41] sebsebseb: she has a Atheros card.. shouldn't that pretty much work by itself? madwifi? [19:41] michelle_: I agree with sebsebseb. Have you explored the option of ndiswrapper that can use a wireless driver designed for windows? [19:41] kyle_: Could you just setup a squid cache to capture all the apt files? [19:41] jungli: most powerfull firewall === opom is now known as Avis [19:41] how the hell i do that? [19:41] axy_david: no, ubuntu 10.04 doesn't support PPC as xangua said [19:41] ok [19:41] W00T? [19:42] stianhj: It uses ath5k driver, and it's loaded by default but there is some problem. The interface wont function (obvious driver issue) [19:42] but i did dl the ppc version [19:42] stianhj: Ubuntu I guess not, other distros I guess so :D [19:42] stianhj: 10.04 is supporting ppc [19:42] axy_david: You can run through the install on your PPC box, but not boot it afterwards. Either it's not configuring the bootloader properly, or it's handing you a kernel you can't use. [19:42] soreau lol yes [19:42] stianhj: when did i say it does¿ [19:42] axy_david: when you say 10.04, what did you download that you are trying to boot? what is the file name? [19:42] sebsebseb how do i do that [19:42] the ppc version [19:42] ok [19:42] but [19:42] axy_david: Either way, first step, boot with the CD, and tell it to boot the OS on the HD. [19:42] xangua: sorry, i misread something there [19:42] soreau no [19:42] iceroot: i believed the ppc suppport was droped, was not¿ [19:42] my 6.04 did booot [19:42] michelle_: What Ndiswrapper? [19:42] ! ndiswrapper | michelle_ [19:42] michelle_: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:42] axy_david: 6.06? [19:43] axy_david: If that works, it's the bootloader. If it doesn't, it's proabably the kernel. [19:43] yeah [19:43] nooo [19:43] 6.04 [19:43] axy_david: there was no Ubuntu 6.04. [19:43] it was v6 === Avis is now known as xbonton [19:43] is it valid to combine lines in sources.list, so instead of one for universe and one line for main, i can just add universe to the end of the line that ends in 'lucid main restricted'? [19:43] mguy: I supose I could use squid.... seems like a bit of a hack for it, doesn't it? [19:43] axy_david: 6.06 or 6.10?

[20:16] Soreau/Bezdomni - don't be angry but I've had to come back into Windows 7 just to get online to find out what's wrong I'm afraid. [20:16] LloydUK: Something helpful in addition to what these other guys are telling you is that you can use this command "man lspci" to learn more about any command. [20:16] i remember it used to work before i upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 [20:16] !alsa | cheater99 [20:16] cheater99: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

I would like to do this to my /home/xomp directory but it's not working correctly and google/ubuntu forums is giving me some 20+ different commands it's very confusing. [20:17] wise_crypt, i think there is no volume applet.

It is good that you're into running a Unix - we're here to help, not be evangelicals :) [20:17] Ah thanks Bezdomni - a bit like the ? in DOS [20:17] wise_crypt, i remember there was one when i first installed but not anymore [20:17] sebsebseb, good point [20:17] cheater99: read the factoid again [20:17] Ha thanks Bezdomni, I used to use Windrivers chat for my MS issues, those guys have serious "tude". [20:17] im having issues with the custom connect to server with nautilus, it says please enter a name and try again. I had this working just fine in 9.04 but in the 10.4 its giving me this. Anyone seen this or have ideas.? [20:17] alright... i'll check the links.. [20:18] hi everyone [20:18] join #af9015 [20:18] LloydUK: It is like DOS prompt only in that it is a command line interface to your computer. The Unix terminal (or "shell", in most Unices it is the "bash shell" - Bourne Again shell) is a powerful programming language :) [20:18] oop [20:18] !hi alex_641 [20:18] NightlyUser: i tried the community docs already [20:18] what command to use?

I can't get at it without booting back to Ubuntu and losing you. Do you think there are some drivers I should download to a USB stick to take back with me? [20:20] ok i installed the restricted extra's and still can't play the wma files [20:20] cheater99: no problem thank to ubottu [20:20] aight ill give that one a shot rq [20:20] wise_crypt, next problem if i may. my laptop's touchpad doesn't work (it's a ps/2 based one i believe) [20:20] is the Portable Document Format a FLOSS patent like Open Document Format? [20:20] LloydUK: I am not sure exactly what your problem is. What drivers are malfunctioning? [20:20] cheater99: :) [20:20] mmm anybody? just look at a webpage with the details.. [20:20] wise_crypt: so i have to create swap on sda6 and then swapon -a === fredrick is now known as Roasted [20:20] :) [20:21] wise_crypt, i stick to what works :) [20:21] the second one..http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-17?c=it&l=it&s=dhs [20:21] anyone used webmin?

[20:21] * cheater99 has been trying to fix this stuff for some time now and decided to sit down and finally fix ubuntu's all problems [20:21] Bezdomni - I am sure you have met many like me who have had enough of Windows going downhill. I've been with MS since DOS 6.22 but they peaked at XP and now I've had enough of them. I shall go back and run those commands and come back here shortly - sound good? [20:21] bugs_bugger: do you have a swap disk on your fstab ? [20:22] Is this a wifi issue you're having? [20:22] You have this card - RaLink RT2500 802.11g Cardbus/Mini-PCI (rev01) [20:22] Bezdoni - that's right [20:22] wise_crypt: yes, its sda6 [20:22] *Bezdomni [20:22] anyone? [20:22] ola [20:23] LloydUK, one moment - let me look something up for you so you're not just running off to type commands that you have no idea what they do. ;) [20:23] !codec | derick_ [20:23] derick_: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [20:23] bugs_bugger: always remember to sudo cp /the/important/file /the/important/file.old [20:23] !webmin | imthenachoman [20:23] imthenachoman: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [20:23] s [20:23] d [20:23] ruiserra: hi, looking for ubuntu support¿ [20:23] LloydUK: One more thing - what version of ubuntu are you using? 10.04 is the newest. [20:23] i've already installed the restricted thing [20:23] Ha thanks Bezdomni - I'll have to take a photo of the screen on my phone so I remember the commands back in Ubuntu. It is 10.04 - downloaded and installed today. [20:24] wise_crypt: kay. i'll backup fstab and co with the on live cd [20:24] owenll: oh..ty [20:24] hi, im having some trouble browsing de web and entering on amsn...web pages are taking a long time to open and the same for amsn...if i open IE using my virtualbox on XP it works just fine...anyone knows what that might be?? [20:24] Haha - what commands exactly are you going to use? lspci will mostly tell you things you can find in Windows and already seem to know. [20:24] bugs_bugger: dont do it [20:24] derick_: if you've installed the codecs the .wmv file should play just fine [20:24] wise_crypt: ok, why? [20:24] bugs_bugger: its not your fstab but the livecd fstab [20:24] its a .wma files, audio not video [20:24] The commands I told you are solely for you to use to learn about Linux commands and find your way around the terminal (use the "man" command - short for manual when you want to learn about another command) [20:25] Bezdomni No idea! I don't get why it worked with version 9 on a Live CD but not on version 10.04 with a LiveCD and install. [20:25] They won't help ya with your wireless problem....Ubuntu has gotten pretty good with supporting wifi cards out of the box. [20:25] derick_: same thing applies [20:25] bugs_bugger: your using the live cd as OS and your box just a mounted device in live cd [20:25] it won't play it, no program will, not even VLC. but VLC is calling them .WMAL files [20:25] derick_: do you have gstreamer10-plugins-bad installed? [20:26] !ebox [20:26] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [20:26] Bezdomni - one minute it was supporting, one minute it wasn't. Maybe I should install the old version 9 again and then use the internal Updates Manager to bring myself up? [20:26] Has anyone else had extreme slowness issues with the remote-desktop viewer in 10?

[20:27] ffmpg is installed, cant find the gstreamer bad [20:27] LloydUK: It should work out of the box with 10.04 if it worked in previous versions, unless someone screwed up big packaging ubuntu :) [20:28] derick_: it's just a case of installing the right codecs [20:29] bugs_bugger: use sudo gedit /media/yourdevicename/etc/fstab [20:29] Bezdomni - I can only assume someone screwed up, I don't know enough to break it! On version 9 it booted up and I just put my wireless password in and was online, on 10.04 the wireless icon at the top left just says there are no available networks. I'm on desktop so it's not like I've moved around the house to a blindspot [20:29] ok what do i need to install, cause i have 129gb of wma files i would like to play, converting would blow this laptop up [20:29] Bezdomni - these first steps away from MS are scary!

[20:30] wise_crypt: can't i just copy it and rename it to *.old? i am NOT copying the live-cd fstab but the fstab on my root partition (can be accessed from places) [20:31] so does ebox have support for apache? [20:31] Bezdomni - unfortunately not - miles away from the phone line and I've leant my old Linksys WRT54G out or I'd use that to bridge [20:31] bugs_bugger: yes [20:31] bugs_bugger: gksudo nautilus [20:31] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire one, wireless NIC just stopped working, no longer listed in ifconfig. # rfkill list # now shows it as Hard blocked. modprobe -r -f ath5k && modprobe ath5k did not resolve.

Does this mean I need to create it? [22:23] so.. no way to put update-manager in background? :/ [22:23] acerimmer: i tried to install some packages of mysql-cluster-client but it flashes some error [22:24] dirtydevil: ah. well, my solution specifically was to avoid this via offline backup. [22:24] ok [22:24] dirtydevil: the errors i see appear to be dpkg errors. theere's a fix command - lemme look [22:24] Slart: I can't tell from the man page. ffmpeg seems to use the extension of the output file name to determine the output format, and uses -i to specify the input ('-' might work there though). You could maybe use fifos to fake it... [22:24] no i want to fix it.. can you help further?

[22:28] dirtydevil: http://files.fosswire.com/2008/04/ubunturef.pdf save for reference [22:28] i dont mean like dpkg-ing them. i mean like downloading them from the add/remove [22:29] Slart: I use handbrake for flv files, as I find other programs often have trouble with them... [22:29] Has anyone experienced items disappearing from the Notification Area (Sys Tray) in 10.04? Specifically, Transmission will often disappear, but continues to run. Thanks. [22:29] how do i actually add songs to my new iphone 3gs using linux ? I can create a playlist on it with rhythmbox but cant figure how to get the songs on. Duh! [22:29] acerimmer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439549/ [22:29] CkhiKuzad: they are both in the repo on 9.04 if that is what you mean [22:29] and Docteh, nothing. i just cant get it installed. i cant configure grub2 to boot this usb, and my cd drive is broke [22:29] folks .. having trouble mounting nfs shares - it seems rpc.statd doesn't start on boot. I can't mount nfs shares unless I start it by hand -- any suggestions as to how I can make it start automagically? [22:29] ah [22:29] I've got NEED_STATD set to 'yes' in /etc/default/nfs-common [22:30] However it doesn't seem to do the trick [22:30] according to my calculators #ubuntu is no longer the most joined/parted channel in joins+parts\min [22:30] CkhiKuzad: what about unetbootin's cd-less (frugal) install method? [22:31] dirtydevil: dependcies are incomplete. you need the packages that are not installed. either synaptic or terminal line "sudo apt-get install packagenamehere" [22:31] #pokerth-lobby is [22:31] samc: i guess throwing the mount command into /root/rc.local is a bit kludgey? [22:31] Loshki: grub2 doesnt seem to support unetbootin [22:31] samc: what about /etc/fstab ? [22:31] rcmaehl: that could count as advertising :) [22:31] CkhiKuzad: see if boot.kernel.org has the lucid installer [22:31] fluvvell: with Rhythmbox open and your iphone plugged in do you see your iphone's name in the left panel? If so you can grab songs and drag them [22:31] Docteh, epinky: Sorry .. should have mentioned. I don't want the shares to mount on boot, because I need to bring up the vpn first. I've got the shares defined in fstab with 'noauto' set though [22:31] ok, Docteh. [22:31] rcmaehl: off-topic, and incredibly boring too... [22:31] Beyecixramd: So could a lot of things [22:32] But yeah .. it's not that the shares don't mount on boot, it's that rpc.statd doesn't start on boot [22:32] oh [22:32] can you run rpc.statd by itself? [22:32] acerimmer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439552/ [22:32] * rcmaehl loves sudo apt-get moo [22:32] Docteh: yeah, I can run rpc.statd from the command line, and after that the shares mount fine [22:33] nothing in /etc/init.d/ refers to statd [22:33] samc: so add rpc.statd to /etc/rc.local [22:33] it is asking to run that command but which is also not working :( [22:33] how do you test a sha1 checksum? [22:33] Docteh: yeah, getting to that point .. it feels like a dirty hack though [22:33] is there a way to download the packages for a dist-upgrade to /home instead of /tmp D? [22:33] especially given that /etc/default/nfs-common seems to have an option to start statd [22:33] I was hoping there was a "right" way to do it :D [22:33] owenll, drag the songs onto the iphone? nothing happens! [22:34] true, you could do that and then file a bug, worse case the bug guys are all NOOB to you, but they'll still tell you the right way to do it [22:34] Docteh: True that. might head that way :) [22:34] cheers [22:34] Docteh, BKO doesnt have 10.04 [22:34] hmw: ah.. it worked with mencoder [22:34] dang [22:34] dirtydevil: ouch. yeah, i've got the "will not be installed" error once or twice and i don't remember how I got around it. Howzaboutthis; sudo apt-get purge mysql-cluster-client to remove all pieces. Then use synaptic to reinstall. If that doesn't work, don't know what else to try. sorry. [22:35] hi [22:35] Slart: are you going to elaborate on how? *smirks* [22:35] fluvvell: no progress in the bar on the bottom of rhythmbox - transferring songs? It can take time. What Ubuntu version - 10.04? [22:35] hmw: mencoder -vc null computerworld.flv -ovc copy -of rawaudio -oac mp3lame -o test.mp3 was the command line I used.. you can probably remove some of the stuff there but it's a start [22:35] !hi|exs [22:35] exs: Hi!

[23:02] try with sudo [23:02] geller i am as root [23:02] TheGag96: more info [23:02] hows that then [23:02] <|corpse|> Docteh: yep. right now i am actualy stuck on that progress bar. it says Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives. 0% [23:02] and I got it to work, except when I tried to also triple boot iDeneb (Hackintosh), I had to restore my bootloader, and so it's gone [23:02] well thats another problem, my fn key combos on the laptop or on my wireless keyboard don't work [23:03] wise_crypt: nothing is working....when i run fsck, it warns me about severe filesystem damages that can be caused running on a mounted partition. neither swap nor home can be found. blkid shows swap(sda6) but not home(sda8) [23:03] I tried easyBCD, but it won't load [23:03] I tried uninstalling it, [23:03] ah, sorry, don't know then [23:03] TheGag96: wait one i'll post a tutorial. [23:03] but It said it couldn't find a certain file. [23:03] I had used the Wubi installer [23:03] my system just overheats and powers down previously had to add noapic and nolapic to grub [23:04] wise_crypt: sda7, my usual root partition is mounted successfully thus jsut typing fsck tries to check sda7 [23:04] acerimmer, this isn't too general [23:04] It's a bit more specific [23:04] is there supposed to be a function key to do that? [23:04] TheGag96: I know. my tutuorial shows how I did it, but I didn't wubi install. [23:04] okay. [23:04] hi I have some problems with setting up RAID 1 through the 10.01 server installation where it does not work after reboot [23:05] I don't know if I should try formatting the partition or what [23:05] TheGag96: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=212837 [23:06] |corpse|: http://paste.ubuntu.com/439578/ [23:06] Hello!

What should I do? [23:06] TheGag96: you're going to have to configure a bootable mbr. not sure if your present config will work. As you know osx likes GUID, windows/linux use mbr. [23:06] most laptops I've seen have a Fn -F(x) key combo to disable touchpad, yes [23:06] my system just overheats and powers down previously had to add noapic and nolapic to grub [23:07] I'm not trying to do Mac OS x for now because I've used up my MBR's, [23:07] so it's really just the Linux that I have to worry about [23:07] Should I try the iso?

I just need a kernel option and I'm at a loss. I've read a variety of documentation but I guess I need more confirmation. [23:08] folks, any ideas? Please help. this is driving me nuts [23:08] geller: is this a laptop overheating? [23:08] I want to add the option apparmor=0 to the kernel... which file should I edit [23:08] yes [23:08] have you cleaned the dust out of it? [23:08] nope,but never needed it [23:09] I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me with an issue installing RAID with a clean install, but the system does not boot properly [23:09] dont know what happened there [23:09] <|corpse|> Docteh: thanks man, ill try it out [23:09] i used 9.04 till today [23:09] geller: start by cleanin the dust [23:09] im trying to chmod a file 777 but it fails saying operation not permitted (requested 0777: actual 0755 ) [23:09] geller: my system runs hot on 10.04 too [23:09] also when i ll -lsh filename >> textdoc it says file does not exist [23:09] it overheats instantly if i dont add noapic [23:09] geller: use CPU scaling to scale back CPU speeds, it will help your heat issue [23:09] you might this time - get a can of compressed air, blow in the air outlet, usually in the back - dust will come out by the fan on bottom [23:10] darn, i'm running at 75C now xD [23:10] as root [23:10] acerimmer: What can I do here? [23:10] Should I try the disk [23:10] thanks [23:10] sebsebseb [23:10] might also take vacuum cleaner hose to fan inlet [23:10] but it is a kernel problem [23:10] Does anyone know how you can add multiple dummy network interfaces? Loading the dummy module provides a dummy0, but I know that (supposedly) you can have e.g. dummy1, dummy2, etc. [23:10] well, might be both kernel and dust [23:11] you'd be amazed how much they collect [23:11] looks like a layer of felt [23:11] ok , i did it with previous machines === core is now known as Guest72867 [23:12] can some one help me with mandriva one [23:12] ? [23:12] I use a piece of one of those laundry dryer sheets, masking tape it around the fan inlet to filter air, change maybe every couple months [23:12] works extremely well [23:12] anyone who might be able to assist with installing RAID on 10.04 during a clean install -- the system does not boot after install [23:13] i am sure but it happened only on 10 lts and that instantly [23:13] michelle_: I think there's #mandriva channel [23:13] can someone please help disable my touchpad while typing? === acerimmer_ is now known as acerimmer [23:13] fn and the touchpad button [23:13] have you tried reseating the heat sink with fresh thermal grease?

[23:14] epinky thank you [23:14] hello, what is username and password when you run live ? [23:14] where is the touchpad button? [23:15] blue button with the picture of the touchpad and a finger [23:15] well, most machines you need to disassemble, which can get messy - some Dells have an access panel to the heat sink on bottom - I'd probably recommend you don't try unless you're very comfortable disassembling laptops [23:15] on mine f7 plus fn combo [23:15] i don't think I have it on my hp60-533cl notebook [23:16] and you'd need a tube of thermal compound, Arctic Silver 5 is my favorite [23:16] you shoulda [23:16] i dont think that i can afford one [23:16] does anyone here use an onscreen keyboard? [23:16] and it worked till yesterday [23:17] Is there a way to have Ubuntu (Lucid) mute the speakers when I plug headphones in? I have an onboard NVidia sound card. [23:17] when i load something in firefox now, the screen turns grey in the middle of being on the net, i remember there was a fix to this but i forget what... any help would be appreciated! [23:17] weird, hope you figure it out, geller [23:17] i just dont understand why 2.6.31 and 32 is so different [23:18] thank you dan ill try to clean it [23:18] only way to know whether it's a kernel problem or weird coincidence would be to go back to the old, not sure how that's done, though [23:18] looking for help with installing RAID 1 via a clean install -- computer won't boot properly after finishing install [23:19] geller: found it, its actually a dedicated button turned it off, doesn't do anything [23:19] there is a daemon then [23:19] i am not sure its name [23:19] I am a nood, silly question, what does turning touchpad off do? it doesn't stop the mouse from moving does it? [23:19] it does [23:20] badnaam: yes it does [23:20] You're a nood? Put some clothes on! :P [23:20] :)..noob i meant [23:20] well so I turned it off as the manual suggests, but I can still use the mouse [23:20] so it's not getting turned off is it? [23:20] its not === computer_ is now known as ryaxnbuntu === severity1 is now known as zz_severity1 [23:20] what I want is for it to not be active when I am typing, so that my mouse cursor doesn't fly all over the place [23:20] it has to be some combo [23:21] well the manual says it's the key just above the touchpad [23:21] badnaam: you can reset the sensitivity of your pad [23:21] badnaam: There should be a setting for that under preferences -> mouse or preferences -> touchpad [23:21] one of the two [23:21] hi all! is there any way i can increase the speed of switching my KVM to Ubuntu? In 9.10 it was faster, but in 10.04 it takes about 10 seconds until the USB keyboard/mouse are recognized [23:21] System>Preferences>Mouse>Touchpad [23:21] badnaam: looked at HP site, shows a spot on upper left of touchpad - supposed to be an on/off button [23:22] there we go! acerimmer knows where it's at badnaam! :) [23:22] maybe some kind of setting involving how often usb ports are scanned for new devices? [23:22] ;) [23:22] no sensitivity setting, it only has turn touchpad off while typing (on) and enable mouseclick with touchpad(on), scrolling (disabled) [23:23] dan: yes, that's the button that is turned off, but that doesn't seem to work, touchpad is still on and I can move the mouse [23:23] ah, ok - I think it uses Windows Synaptics drivers then, might be a way to install those in Ubuntu, not sure [23:24] I'm a linux noober [23:24] has anyone gotten onboard (on-screen keyboard program) to work? [23:25] how can i check what synaptics drivers do I have [23:25] not sure Ubuntu uses any [23:25] How do you run the task manager? [23:26] sytem admin [23:26] task manager [23:26] hanlin: like Universal Access Preferences at login time? [23:26] google showed lots of Synaptics/Ubuntu threads, I'd start there === Guest40882 is now known as alexs [23:27] epinky: i have a tablet, and need to use the onscreen keyboard sometimes [23:27] ok, I will. Thanks for your help! [23:27] but onboard steals focus away and prevents entering letters into the text field [23:27] sure, good luck!

[23:30] I have a POS computer (amd 9.10) and I have a 10.04 image on a flash drive. Is it good? I just bunted a livecd from it. booted: got a litle man and a piece of film image at the bottom of the screen, then a black screen with a flashing horiz cursor. (Can I assume bad disk? How can I check flash-image or disk image?)

[23:32] Question: When I boot up my new Ubuntu 10 LTS install, it frequently drops to initrd complaining about not being able to find the root device /dev/sda1... but then I can mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt. [23:32] Any ideas? [23:32] riz0n: yes. LTS to LTS is direct upgradeable [23:32] I get the feeling that it's just taking a long time for the device to settle, or something....

If so, is there a way to get grub to wait longer before switching to initrd? [23:33] riz0n: i'm on desktop. Ask the board for help with specifics [23:33] anyway fancy helping me figuring out why samba writes at ~60MB/s but reads at 400kB/s ? [23:33] anyone * [23:34] dan, did you check the pm.logs via the System Log Viewer? [23:34] fx: Asynchronous probably. [23:35] acerimmer_, "First open a terminal and go to the correct directory to check a downloaded iso file: cd download_directory " ----> OK terminal says No such file or directory" (I tried it with a leading slash too.) [23:35] Are you seeing it at 60MB/s at the receiving end, or just at the sending end? [23:35] f0g, mount is on the same machine as the server. Are you hinting at a configuration option? [23:35] ogen: it means where you downloaded to [23:35] not the folder named "download_directory" [23:35] virt-manager is confusing. It lists several vms that I don't think actually exist. And if I try to start them, they won't start. But I can't figure out how to get rid of them, or where their configuration is stored. [23:35] fx: Wait, you're transferring files within the same server using SMB? [23:35] ogen: search for *.iso in your /home [23:35] riz0n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:36] f0g, the i mounted a share on the same server that has smbd yes [23:36] So my question is something like "how do I figure out how to use virt-manager?" [23:36] and read from this share is slow, but write to it is fast (capped by capability of the disk), f0g [23:36] exarkun: whats virt manager for? xen? [23:37] exarkun: maybe reading a Xen Book? [23:37] No, nothing to do with xen. [23:37] when i close pidgin (to minimize it to try) it quit [23:37] I happen to be using the qemu/kvm driver [23:37] acer (OK). Opps, was searching for download_directory in / [23:37] fx: Why are you using smb within the same computer? [23:37] But part of virt-manager's job is to abstract the actual virtualization system away from you [23:37] It has all of its own configuration and such [23:37] exarkun, you should check out virsh [23:37] f0g, yes [23:37] That's a major performance hit, and I can't think of any valid reason for doing it. [23:37] ogen: Places>Search for files>Name Contains *.iso>Look in folder /your home folder [23:37] fx: I've been trying to use virsh, yea, but I can't get it to do what I want.

[23:38] Hey, for anyone who can: My screen decided to bug out, and now all of the panel applets are not in their correct places. I tried rebooting, and it didn't do anything. I cannot change the locations of the applets, as middle clicking and alt-clicking do not move them, and right clicking does not yield any option such as "lock applet" or "move applet" or anything of the sort, only "about" and "help". Does anyone know how to fi [23:38] x this? Thank you in advance [23:38] f0g, i need to see the max speed that the smb will throughput, of course i wont leave it like that, My goal is to share the share to virtual machines on the same network [23:38] ogen: then you have not downloaded the iso yet [23:38] I'd like a user manual for libvirt/virt-manager, but I haven't been able to find one. [23:39] fx: All linux machines? [23:39] f0g, all linux machines yes. [23:39] i installed rxvt-unicode and i can't find the program icon anywhere , so i try to create a launcher then move it in the above bar , after reboot it's disappeared , how can i fix that ? [23:39] hi all [23:39] It seems largely undocumented, which is sad, because it's a cool idea. But I was hoping I had overlooked something that someone knew about. [23:39] I'd recommend trying nfs rather than smb. [23:39] acerimmer_, yes I have. The torrent didnt work so I directly downloaded it. But isnt the md5 porgram in 9,10 as well or only in 10.04 ? [23:40] f0g, i was fearing that you would say that... tried NFS, in fact have been using it. But as soon as i copy large amount of data it locks up the client. like seriously, reboot required [23:40] ogen: md5 is for any *iso. But if your search can't find the iso, where is it? [23:40] But even so, depending on the way that the server is written, performance within the same server will not be representative of real-world situations with network congestion, different disk speeds, etc. [23:40] acerimmer_, the iso is not in home. I thought I was looking for the md5sum on linux to run that program [23:40] Even if you prefer samba - which is a little bit more complicated but not the end of the world - you're going to need a second machine to performance test it properly. [23:41] acerimmer_, I know where the iso is. as I should have said, it is on the flash drive [23:41] ogen: *NOW he tells me* :) [23:41] \quit [23:41] I have a POS computer (amd 9.10) and I have a 10.04 image on a flash drive. Is it good? I just bunted a livecd from it. booted: got a litle man and a piece of film image at the bottom of the screen, then a black screen with a flashing horiz cursor. (Can I assume bad disk? How can I check flash-image or disk image?) [23:41] ogen: ok, insert usb, then use the md5checksum thingie i sent you [23:41] sorry [23:42] f0g, i would like to try improve samba this time. I have a second machine, in fact i have about 5 virtualised, which is where i want faster network performance. on network attached machines i get about 1.5MB/s which is fine for me [23:42] I've just tried to dualboot 10.04 with fedora 13. i reinstalled grub 2 (as usung legacy grub was decidedly not working) and ran update-grub. now, does that automatically add fedora to grub2? [23:42] what would you guys recommend to do partitioning in ubuntu with GPT? [23:42] fx: So, I'm sorry... what? [23:42] f0g, i know samba has thouse god-awful options that you can tweek it with. Like voodoo magic, but im willing to have a go, since at least it wont lock up anything [23:42] What is the SID repository, is it someones launchpad user ? [23:42] Cyber-Dogg: gptsync [23:43] uh oh. just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 and am getting a screen that syas "the disk drive for /vol is not ready yet or not present. continue to wait or press s to skp mounting or m for manual recovery [23:43] Cyber-Dogg: for hackintosh?? [23:43] you sent me a webpage acerimmer_ and I was trying to follow the instructions on the webpage to FIND the md5sum program to run. ((I have done all of these things before in windows, in which the webpage links me to a place to download the md5sum program. So I know the steps, just have to find the LINUX md5sum program to run. Right?) [23:43] no... [23:43] I guess it doesn't have to be GPT really [23:43] Oh. Well, check with the samba channel. If you're looking for samba specific fixes, they probably know better than us. :) [23:43] ogen: wait 1 [23:43] I have a 500GB drive I need to partition [23:44] f0g, sorry, its been a long day. Do you think you could help me please with the slow read problem? [23:44] I'm not much of a smb expert. Check with #samba - they are. :) [23:44] but I think I'd like more than 4 parts [23:44] f0g, thanks [23:44] ogen: private - click on my name [23:44] Question: When I boot up my new Ubuntu 10 LTS install, it frequently drops to initrd complaining about not being able to find the root device /dev/sda1... but then I can mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt a moment later from the busybox shell. Any ideas? [23:47] f0g: could be a bad uuid identification in fstab or might be if you have more than 1 drive and what's know logically as sda1 is physically plugged into the motherboard in what might be considered sdb1 [23:48] Scunizi: I turned off uuid identification in grub. That was my first thought. [23:48] Scunizi: How would I find out if the latter is the case? [23:49] I gave up on my af9015 card, I've started a second time on a tv card that uses the em28xx drivers -- both drivers have built, but neither attach to their card when it is installed [23:49] Hey, the panel object popup menu on my computer will only show "help" and "about", but nothing else, no matter what I click. Any idea how to fix this? [23:49] f0g: that may be part of it.. fstab is setup on install to use uuid.. as for the latter.. you'd have to physically look at your drives in the machine and identify them and what location they are plugged into.. personally I'd reenable uuid in grub.. it help avoid these types of problems.
