[00:06] metalforever, and my questions never get answered [00:07] pbrook_, shoot [00:07] you guys need to write something to disable these joins. [00:07] specifically, i am running 10.04 x64 with fglrx [00:07] whats the question. [00:07] and [00:07] oh noes. [00:07] sometimes i have had it work great with compiz [00:07] threre is not a good end to that story [00:07] nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:07] as in i can view opengl applications while having transparency [00:07] but [00:07] and good [00:07] google* [00:07] pbrook_, i may not be able to help you then, im only experienced in fglrx maintenance on the i686 platform, not 64 bit [00:08] sometimes, and currently, i get flickering on the gl box [00:08] same... [00:08] and if i try to move the window [00:08] i get that too [00:08] the opengl box stays where it is [00:08] until i stop moving [00:08] Blade-Runner, thx man [00:08] then it updates its position [00:08] pbrook_, push the window through [00:08] then when it starts, hold it, and it should transfer to the next side [00:09] :) [00:09] sorry for the unclear language [00:09] i didn't mean desktop cube [00:09] google? [00:09] i meant the specific box on the screen that is showing the 3d content [00:09] Hi there.. I have a problem with openoffice Presentation.. [00:09] for example, the black box showing the gears in glxgears [00:10] nmap full portscan on a specified host via terminal? [00:10] that black box stays where it is while the window decoration frame moves [00:10] and only updates its position when i stop moving the frame [00:10] When i start a slideshow, the two panels on the ubuntu desktop remain there, so the slide is not shown in fullscreen.. === geek is now known as Guest58870 [00:10] Anybody?

User help available in #openoffice.org. [00:11] saji89: right click and choose to autohide [00:11] CyL, That's what i do now. [00:11] why is g++ not installing via apt-get [00:12] CyL, But I'm not comfortable with that, as i don't like autohiding panels.. [00:13] saji89: I was having the exact same issue here, and solved that way... maybe if you focus the presentation while in full screen [00:13] OK guys who's the ubuntu big willy who can help me because I never ever thought I would be thinking this but I'm considering buying windows 7 after being a 15 years UNIX user [00:13] this is too much pain [00:13] CyL, i didn't get that... [00:13] CyL, ? [00:13] I put text installer onto USB flash drive and installed from it, it seemed to go fine [00:14] when i boot the screen goes blank, no signal it seems like its booting and working just no video [00:14] How do i see what is running from the command line? [00:14] hello [00:14] Green_, "ps aux" [00:14] ? [00:14] Green_: use 'top' or 'ps aux' [00:14] or download htop [00:14] I'm on the live cd of ubuntu 64bit 10.04 LTS. Is there a way to restart the xserver without borking the entire ramdisk and having to start from scratch? I need to enable the nvidia proprietary driver. [00:14] which is better :) [00:15] i know windows will drive me mad when i want to ps auwwx or -eF or whatever but when i turn it on I get a picture this is too much to take [00:15] bye [00:15] is there anyway to use ubuntu to share a firefox profile across a couple different computers? [00:15] i've been working on this for hours please i'm begging you to help me [00:15] saji89: what haven't you got? [00:15] CyL, "maybe if you focus the presentation while in full screen"... [00:16] evening folks. im trying to install a 10.04 ubuntu via the mini cd, setup (expert mode) works great up to the point when i want to hit "install the system". it tells me that an error occured and thats it. i return to the menu [00:16] brokuntu: do you have another computer that you could try to ssh into it with? [00:16] CyL, I didn't understand that. [00:16] or ping it with even? [00:16] I am going to build a linux kernel, wish me luck! :D [00:16] pbrook_: no :( [00:16] Firefishe, : try this : sudo service gdm restart [00:16] saji89: like trying to press alt+tab to focus in openoffice presentation... [00:16] hmm [00:16] Blade-Runner: Ah! Thank you :). I had forgotten about that command. [00:16] pbrook_: if i could tell ubuntu somehow to just not use graphics it would probably be fine [00:16] i can make X work by forcing chipset vesa [00:16] but i cant even boot my new install [00:17] whatever the booter is i don't know how to force vesa on it [00:17] one possibility is to try booting into single user mode [00:17] can you even get grub? [00:17] CyL, I tried that tooo... [00:17] !enter | brokuntu [00:17] brokuntu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:17] yeah i can get grub i can choose recovery mode then the monitor loses signal [00:17] Blade-Runner: One concern, though, is that the kernel module is borked. It *should* be okay, as I installed nvidia-current via apt-get on the command line. Your thoughts? [00:17] CyL, many of my friends also have that problem, even in ubuntu 9.10.. [00:17] Hi guys - as per the mapping page at the wiki I reconfigured xorg.conf so that when my system starts up it would remap certain mousekeys. However, today when I log on I discovered that xorg.conf complains about a 'screen not found' error, and I had to boot X into a different display number. What did I do wrong here? [00:17] CyL, but for me it started in Ubuntu 10.04.. [00:17] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [00:17] g++: Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.3-1) but it is not going to be installed [00:17] ? [00:18] i supply kernal option vga=0 it means nothing [00:18] and you removed options like splash? [00:18] Firefishe, : depends if you installed the correct nvidia drivers [00:18] saji89: I guess it is an "always on top" option missing somewhere [00:18] oh yeah [00:18] the thing that annoys me the most is i bet if i put fedora on it it would work but i hate them [00:19] i want ubuntu on it [00:19] :) [00:19] Blade-Runner: Well, I watched it compile the module for the currently running kernel, so I'm *guessing* it's probably okay. [00:19] brokuntu, just an FYI, but if you are using Lucid "vga=" lines are outdated [00:19] ZykoticK9: thanks [00:19] i've never had quite the problem you're describing [00:19] but [00:19] pbrook_: me either in 15 years [00:19] Firefishe, : then good luck ; give it a try. [00:19] saji89: Sorry, I must move away from the computer now... [00:19] Blade-Runner: Thanks for our help. *crosses fins* [00:19] CyL, ok bye... And thanks... [00:20] if i had another PC i could serial console it but i don't theres nothing i can do except drink and cry [00:20] Blade-Runner: our=your [00:20] When i start a slideshow, the two panels on the ubuntu desktop remain there, so the slide is not shown in fullscreen.. [00:20] Blade-Runner: Unless one of my *other* personalities.... ;-) hee anyway.... [00:20] Anyone has a soluion> [00:20] well, there isn't too much harm in just trying again. try reformatting the hdd again and reinstalling [00:20] sorry, anyone have any solution? [00:20] pbrook_: 6 times repeated this procedure [00:20] ah [00:21] i figured but i might as well suggest [00:21] hmm [00:21] saji89, : may be you should take the incentives of the above already mention to you. [00:21] When will ubuntu 10.04 work on mac? [00:21] i need to tell ubuntu to NOT USE ANY GRAPHICS NO NO NO NO just what was available in 1995 somehow [00:21] maybe i need to modify one of the startup scripts [00:21] Blade-Runner, i tried that... No use... [00:21] hmm [00:21] have you tried ubuntu server? [00:21] why, after an upgrade, do all packages appear as "installed local or obsolete" in synaptic? [00:22] brokuntu: throw a gfx card from 1995 in there [00:22] once i can login to the HD i can fix the gfx issue with driver from intel [00:22] Blade-Runner: moot point now. no space left on device. so much for the live cd. guess I d/l a copy of kubuntu and burn that. [00:22] bye for now [00:22] Gnea: mini itx has no pci bus [00:22] saji89, : That the only way.. [00:22] and i am broke :) [00:22] brokuntu: so boot into single-user mode [00:22] Gnea: he tried that [00:22] and? [00:22] same [00:22] no boot [00:22] monitor loses signal [00:22] it boots fine [00:22] everything is working [00:22] it reacts [00:22] brokuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:23] but there is no display [00:23] so instead of 'single', try 'init=/bin/sh' [00:23] Firefishe, : I am not familiar with Kubuntu..guess try that. [00:23] hmm dirty [00:23] brokuntu: everything mounts read-only, so you'll have to remount rw if you want to modify anything [00:23] brokuntu: Please don't use Enter as punctuation, keep things all to one line :) [00:23] the thing is, removing splash and stuff like that should make it only display text [00:23] nah, just remember to remount read-only when you're done, before you boot back [00:23] how do you find faster repo mirrors [00:23] ? [00:23] h00k: bad habit ill try and break it [00:24] yes, nosplash and removing quiet helps, too [00:24] hi all! I haev a netgear (prism gt) card that won't seem to activate. I can find it on `lspci` but I cannot get it to turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've already commented out the "prism54" line in blacklist.conf [00:24] brokuntu: it's hardly dirty since it's been used since linux was created in the early 90's [00:25] Linus made, Linus approved :) [00:25] brokuntu: :) [00:26] Anyone else still use a wireless PCI card? [00:26] saji89, turning Compiz OFF will correct the openoffice slideshow/panel issue [00:27] ZykoticK9, Ya.. i now read that in the Bug report... :) [00:28] ZykoticK9, And i tried it, it works... Thanks anyways.. :) [00:28] when editing grub, how do i save? [00:28] what would really help is someone who did QA check the intel IGC really worked with the driver they put on there and didn't just assume it did because it had a similar number [00:29] boolean: what ? [00:29] brokuntu: what ? [00:30] Green_: How are you editing grub? [00:31] Is it possible to limit the abilities of a user logged in over SSH with just a password as opposed to a RSA or DSA key? [00:31] from the menu, clicked e [00:31] hi... launchpad has a bug about it.. Also it sates the temporary solution.. Its Bug #525807 [00:31] jdeloach: in what way limit ? [00:31] Bye everyone.. [00:31] ikonia: whats that pastebin it package called [00:31] brokuntu: pastebininit [00:32] ikonia: Say they could only use commands like uptime, cd, ls, etc. Only allowing them to use simple commands. [00:32] hufx: how should i edit it? [00:32] Green_: just type what you want it will not be saved but it will work [00:33] hufx: how can i edit and save it, once logged in? [00:33] jdeloach: the only real way would be to do a chroot, but then only link in the commands you want [00:33] Green_: open the file in your favorite editor [00:33] ikonia: Okay, thanks. [00:34] hufx: it's the first time i use linux in full on command line mode, so can you help me? [00:34] Oops. [00:35] Green_: you're going to need to 'gksudo gedit /etc/defaults/grub' to open it as root [00:35] Green_: Are you...on a server? [00:35] yes [00:35] and i just sshed in! :D [00:36] Green_: then...nano is pretty easy: sudo nano /etc/defauts/grub [00:36] Green_: just use nano [00:36] what key in lynx displays current url [00:36] Oops...deleted the top panel. [00:37] why are my repo downloads going so slow [00:37] I have a oc3 [00:37] 4kb/s [00:37] if i deleted my top bar panel, how do i get it back? [00:37] I blame my complete lack of attention. [00:38] masterslakk: Make a new one and fill it...I'm just not sure where some of the bits come from. [00:38] cardamon, that's every failure's exuse [00:38] h00k: says it's a new file [00:38] root@ubuntu:~# modprobe i915 2>&1 | pastebinit [00:38] http://pastebin.com/VcEWGiNq [00:38] Green_: uh. maybe it's /etc/default/grub then, sorry [00:38] thats what i did [00:39] brokuntu: so that module has no link to any hardware on your system [00:39] masterslakk: [00:39] yeah thats right i dont rememeber why i === pharm_ is now known as pharmaka [00:39] masterslakk: http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [00:39] have it in my head something tried to load it but it did [00:39] Green_: what version of ubuntu [00:39] ikonia: server 10.04 [00:40] the Xorg "intel" driver does not work with my IGC (intel) [00:40] minimec, nice [00:40] * brokuntu believes they may be connected [00:40] Hi, What is the RT kernel for? [00:40] brokuntu: it's not [00:40] brokuntu: real time - audio processing, that sort of thing [00:40] ikonia: aah i see [00:40] does ennyone know how 2 fix this error??? warning: The VAD has been replaced by a hack pending a complete rewrite [00:41] can someone help troubleshoot my jaunty install? whenever i turn on desktop effects, my task bars disappear! [00:41] sgs1990_: it's not an error, it's information [00:41] oke but what does it mean than [00:41] i had a K2 anounsment and i fixed that [00:41] sgs1990_: it means there is a hack in the software you're doing to "fix" something while it waits for a total re-write [00:41] is there somewhere early in the ubuntu boot process i can modify to tell it to use vesa and not something clever splash and everything is off of course [00:42] Anyone know how to get rid of "authentication required" popup in firefox? The localhost,server1,server2,serverX solution at about:config does not work [00:42] I can actually get X to run if I ChipSet "vesa" on it [00:42] brokuntu: hard code vesa into an xorg.conf file [00:42] ikonia,, so i have to wait for a new version of the game?? [00:42] this won't make ubuntu boot without blank screen though i don't think it's going straight into X [00:42] ... is IT? [00:42] really that fast???? [00:42] * brokuntu tries [00:43] sgs1990_: or or them to fix whatever bug it is [00:43] brokuntu: the splash is X-based, i believe [00:43] oke thanks ikonia [00:43] brokuntu: if you hold shift on boot you can edit the entry in grub and remove the "splash" option [00:43] are you talking about boot splash ? [00:44] ikonia: i am... is that not what brokuntu is asking about? [00:44] boot splash isn't X based, it's a kernel framebuffer device [00:44] ikonia: xsplash lacks x? [00:44] you can change your xorg settings [00:44] * maco confused [00:44] * maco wanders off to go do RMB stuff [00:44] xsplash isnt the boot splash as far as I'm aware [00:45] Deleted my top panel accidentally, filling it back in...where do I get power logo menu that handles users, sleep/hibernate, reboot, and shutdown? [00:45] excuse me, but, in the terminal when commands have arguments that have one '-' and two '--', what does it mean? [00:45] Is there any difference to the type of option [00:45] anyone know how to get rid of the "Authentication Required" popup in Firefox? [00:45] I'm having group permission problems with an nfs server; it seems group perms aren't honoured on the client side, so users can't get at a shared directory. Anyone seen this and/or know the solution? [00:45] It's top-right on 10.4 out of the box.

I'm trying to dump an iphone [01:00] why is there no way to start gdm after you stop it in 9.10 [01:00] pibb, huh? you start it the exact reverse of how you stop it... [01:01] hey, for some reason I am not able to enable my nvidia graphics card. I have installed nvidia-current and enabled it under jockey but everytime I restart it still gives me an error that the "nvidia" driver has not loaded or cannot be found. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem can be? [01:01] pibb : sudo service gdm restart [01:01] it brings me to a black screen saying "starting up", i cant enter anything [01:02] pibb : Have you configured display drivers. [01:02] or just sudo start gdm [01:02] anyone had trouble enabling their nvidia drivers?

[01:04] no joy [01:05] Blade-Runner: yes Ill send you what i just wrote in pm [01:05] is there a way to tell ubuntu not to use any graphics at all in its boot sequence i have removed splash and quiet [01:05] the problem seems to be something called "drm" [01:05] when this gets loaded, my monitor dies [01:06] ubuntu server? [01:07] so it's a kernel module [01:07] * brokuntu deletes it [01:07] isnt your section "device" in the xorg.conf file supposed to have the name of your video card in it? all mine says is the identifier driver and vendername im having the x crash problem, anyone help?

I see a default entryy in gconf that looks like the old one, but I'm not sure how to roll it back to that one. Point a guy in the right direction? [01:08] corey, It's unusual for X to have a xorg.conf in the lastest versions. It doesn't need one anymore. [01:08] Blade-Runner: ok cool, did you get my private message?

[01:15] drmc, i recomend doing a fresh install [01:15] I just installed ubuntu server edition and when i rebooted to complete the installation it went into the raw terminal mode and never loaded the gui, how do i bypass that and get the gui to work [01:15] I'm having a problem auto mounting a new luks partition. I have crypttab and fstab entries. I already have my primary hard drive mounting at boot (from the install), but after creating this one manually, it does not open on boot. It auto-mounts when I run the command 'sudo luksOpen /dev/disk/by-uuid/ mycrypt. [01:16] ah sigh] === TannerF is now known as TannerF-hw [01:16] hiexpo: so there isn't a safe way to migrate my confs and data? [01:16] this is too much to bear [01:16] ubuntu you are losing a user who if he ever had his hd back online had about 60 bug reports he intended to file [01:16] drmc, you can do a upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 then 10.04, but it's likely to break your system. [01:16] your QA needs improving [01:17] hheehe [01:17] * brokuntu had been keeping bug reports in tomboy ready to mass report one weekend === calibre_ is now known as zela [01:17] im the kind of user you really WILL miss [01:17] Daekdroom: so the only option is to backup /home and /etc and manually transfer the stuff I need to a clean install? [01:17] but i can't take this anymore [01:18] brokuntu: what's your gripe? [01:18] brokuntu: I haven't been here long, but what's your deal? [01:18] drmc, not that i am aware of anyways i recommend backing up your files and doing a fresh install best way i think [01:18] is ubuntu one down? [01:18] Typos_King: when i boot ubuntu my monitor turns off [01:18] Unable to complete a graceful exit [01:18] he's just venting out I gather, he doesn't have a teddy bear to hug hehe [01:18] drmc, well, backuping /home and keeping track of your programs should be enough. Transfering /etc from one version to another is insane. [01:19] Typos_King: X does it too but if i chipset vesa on it, then it stops [01:19] on ubuntu boot i cant do this, ubuntu boot loads a module called drm then my monitor dies [01:19] brokuntu, Have you tried booting it with nosplash option? [01:19] Hi all, need some help [01:19] !ask | ascianabhro [01:19] ascianabhro: 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. :-) [01:20] brokuntu: there's a file in /etc.. can't recall where you tell it what modules NOT to load, I think is in the so-called 'blacklist' file [01:20] Daekdroom: i removed the splash and quiet options but didn't add a nosplash [01:20] just installed lucid on dell mini 1012, Intel GMA 500 [01:20] alrighty then, backing up and installing from scratch. Is there any way I can install a list of programs en-masse somehow? [01:20] Typos_King: someone told me this drm is necessary [01:20] i was just rm it [01:20] after installing the poulsbo driver, after boot it gives low graphics mode [01:20] drmc, most problems originate from migrating from one version to another [01:20] DRM is necessary for graphical features. [01:20] Daekdroom: actually, I transfer selected config files from /etc every time I upgrade (well, I don't upgrade, I do from-scratch installs) and then copy over the config files. It works quite well... [01:20] can someone help me set up 5.1 sound? im using a realtek alc662 sound device [01:20] brokuntu: well.... you can just have it skipped, don't have to delete it, did you ever get a GUI or it never did? [01:21] Loshki, Selected config files sounds much more specific than just copying your whole /etc [01:21] Typos_King: i can boot the live CD, X shows no monitor signal, i kill gdm-binary, then do X -configure and force it to use vesa, then I can use X from the live CD, from my installed system I cannot see anything [01:21] brokuntu: I'm guessing you're referring to 10.04? [01:21] hiexpo: I dont mind a fresh install, the only trouble is transfering all the tweaking I've been doing to various confs all over the system [01:22] When I'm doing a fresh install, I might even clean up my /home/. folders so I can clean up the garbage :P [01:22] drmc, but you can do it the other way but when things gosouth do say i didn't tell ya so :) [01:22] Typos_King: yup karmic was great [01:22] brokuntu: then maybe you need karmic :P, heheh, I didn't upgrade, why fix if it ain't broken :P [01:22] it was broke i broke the machine karmic was on :) [01:23] any known workaround for the low graphics issue on boot after installing poulsbo on ubuntu 10.04 [01:23] hiexpo: I was thinking of doing a version update first to see if it's going to fail and then do a fresh install on top of it anyway [01:23] brokuntu: but you just said it was great :P [01:23] When will ubuntu 10.04 support mac pro? [01:23] obvious troll misses a link [01:23] Daekdroom: well, the more stuff you copy over, the higher the chances are that there'll be something incompatible. My actual config is contained in about 15 files from /etc... [01:23] drmc, i know it's a lotta time and work but anything worth doing is worth doing right /// if you don't have time to do it right the first time why do it all [01:23] I'll agree with some of that, i've noticed since moving to 10.4 from karmic, lot of random bugs that are quite troublesome [01:24] Daekdroom: you seem to know something about this drm, who should i talk to im willing to put in a little work to make it work [01:24] Loshki, my last reinstall was done after copying ~/Downloads and ~/Music xD [01:24] hiexpo: you're right yeah [01:24] not much at this point as I have real work with real jobs and cant read my files with no OS [01:24] hiexpo: but it never hurts looking for shortcuts :p [01:24] but i can do basic gdb, etc [01:24] brokuntu, Well.. not much can be done without knowing what is the problem. [01:25] im deleting the f***** [01:25] geez, many folks just install new versions of whatever, just for the sole reason is newer, I mean, screw that, I use stuff not for version numbers, but for features only, 9.1 fits me well, hell I can even do with 7.1 too [01:25] lets see what happens [01:25] lol [01:25] brokuntu, but I definitely think you should try booting with nosplash [01:25] drmc, only thing in life a short cutwill get ya is cut short :) [01:25] Daekdroom: well, mine is a server, so there's a bit more config, but even so, 15 files from /etc is extremely manageable... [01:25] ok try nosplash [01:25] then delete [01:25] then install debian/freebsd/windows [01:25] and cry cause i liked ubuntu for philosophical reasons [01:26] Philosophy is meant to let you down, always. [01:26] But that's not talk for this channel. [01:26] brokuntu: have about... tried maybe in the boot acpi=off noapic? I've had issues before with other hardware with the acpi module and hanging the boot on me [01:26] Typos_King: i have all those off [01:26] ok then what should I backup for the slow purpose of migrating, /home for sure, /etc for some of the confs that I will select by hand, anything else? [01:26] they don't affect this machine but i did it just because it did others :) [01:26] brokuntu, Which is your videocard? [01:27] brokuntu: have you checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log to find anything on what happens? [01:27] That, or dmesg. [01:27] DRM outputs along with the kernel, I believe.

[02:43] bobbytek2, matrox? mine is mainly flash has no sound at all [02:43] peter_curry, unless you are storing windows programs on your system and plan on sending them to windows users, there is no way you can infect a windows user [02:43] ikonia: ok, that seems strange given that fstab lists them as ntfs not ntfs-3g [02:43] Loshki: the public key is in the server, how do I connect to the server using the privat key? [02:43] visof: gparted is the most commonly used [02:43] JeffLinux: video card, what else is new :/ [02:43] Blade-Runner: back, I tried 5 different things in my xorg.conf they didn't work [02:43] bobbytek2, lol [02:44] mdmkolbe: looks like they are getting automounted by gnome rather than fstab [02:44] where did you extract avast too? [02:44] bobbytek2, well I am tempted to go back to 8.10 just for the fun of it [02:44] visof: It's included in the liveCD (system menu>administration>) [02:44] anyone using skype with Hardy? i try to install and get "error: dependency is not satisfiable: libasound2" :( [02:44] psusi: I understand.

[02:44] happosade, just ssh to the server and it will use it automatically [02:44] <__taco1> geekphreak, [02:44] peter_curry, no idea [02:44] happyface_0: if the public key is installed correctly on the server, it should 'just work'. How did you get the private key? [02:44] visof: Or can be installed easily in the ubuntu-installed-on-disk [02:44] OK - does anyone else know?

[02:45] <__taco1> geekphreak, ok [02:45] geekphreak: ??? [02:45] peter_curry: your avast folder has bin folder in it ok, use avast to run scan from command or use avastgui to run it via gui mode ok [02:46] Gear0 : Keep the question in the session, its gone high up in clouds ; some one solved will reply. [02:46] Loshki: the server is fine, I put the private key in ~/.ssh and when I connect to the server it asks for the password for the WRONG PRIVATE KEY [02:46] any one play Runescape? [02:46] mkquist_: I'm guessing (looking at your mount output) is that gnome is fighting and winning against that and mounting them with ntfs-3g [02:46] __taco1: and it auto logs in?

[02:48] Blade-Runner: alright, I do appreciate your help though. [02:49] <__taco1> geekphreak, it must run X when startup?

[02:50] gogeta, with no lost of the data ? [02:50] geekphreak: As I mentioned earlier, it doesn't seem like Avast! is working on my computer.

[02:54] geekphreak: I do I navigate to that ".avast" directory. I am not seeing it under "/home/peter_curry/" [02:54] nigtv, dd is recommended because it copies at the bit level. [02:54] geekphreak: How do I navigate, I mean ... [02:54] cd $HOME/.avast [02:55] peter_curry: if you running natilus >> press ctrl+h [02:55] __taco1: but did you remove any programs?

I guess that would be better. "Sudo" is superuser, right? [03:02] right [03:02] try sudo avast [03:02] i mean even if the backup was made with rsync its still better to use dd right? i assumed as much but you never know [03:02] try not [03:02] nigtv, dd makes a bit for bit copy of the input at the output. if is the input and of is the output (inflow and outflow I believe) [03:02] hi - anyone know where I can find 32b libtermcap for ubuntu 10 64b?

[03:06] peter_curry: one more thing, is avast service running? === evilchazz is now known as Chazz [03:06] edbian: im confused about the "is a directory" error, the man page is confusing me atm, should i just run it with wildcards like dd if=/media/mount/* [03:07] peter_curry: when you installed avast, did it register any service, if so is it running? [03:07] URGENT : hello techies.. i have noticed a serious problem in my ubuntu 10.04... when i go to synaptic package mangaer.. and if i click any of the installed package for reinstallation .. i notice that synaptic downloads some additional files .. like suppose i clicked a package of size 300KB for reinstallation.. when i click on apply button. it shows like 1 packgae need to be downloaded of size 27KB.... i m afraid that thing means my all packages are [03:07] incomplete..????? [03:07] nigtv, I think you can use the recursive flag? I suggest just going for the partition point though if it's an entire partition. dd if=/dev/sdXY of=/some/mount/point [03:08] nigtv, careful, dd will overwrite stuff rather easily [03:08] shreymech: thats not a problem, don't worry about that [03:08] i want Compiz Fusion [03:08] Guest90442: it's already installed [03:08] nigtv, /some/mount/point should be empty... [03:08] shouyuld i try running apt-get dist-upgrade again? ( a friend told me to) [03:08] shreymech: Those are just dependencies downloading? [03:08] yes [03:08] sudo apt-get compiz [03:08] Guest90442, turn it on! System -> Preferences -> appearance [03:08] hiexpo: was that to me?

[03:09] done [03:09] cipher_, ikonia: that means dependencies are removed after the instaltion of packgae..???? if not than it should be there at the time of provious insystallations also.. [03:09] any body have a tip for me :( i'm in a bind because i can't get i need to use inkscape to do some graphic work [03:09] could anyone help me with my fluxbox problem it is in debian and the #debian channel is not too helpful. [03:09] geekphreak: I got the following error -- "mv: missing destination file operand after '/home/peter_curry/.avast/home/peter_curry/.avast.backup. Try 'mv -- help' for more information." What I am doing wrong? [03:09] nigtv, It doesn't matter. You can do it either way. I'm just saying it might be easier since it's complaining about it being a folder. [03:10] peter_curry: there is a space dude [03:10] shreymech, If the programs work, who cares [03:10] edbian: well the source isnt an entire partition, so its griping about that [03:10] wifi [03:10] pure_hate, thats not a techie attitude [03:10] enable wifi [03:10] pure_hate, - howdy starnger :) [03:10] cant see a recursive flag for dd in the man page [03:10] shreymech, your right, im kind of new. sorry [03:10] nigtv, then use wild cards I don't see a recursive flag either [03:10] dont network [03:10] peter_curry: mv /home/peter_curry/.avast /home/peter_curry/.avast_back [03:11] shreymech: don't worry about it, the packge manager does a lot of things that aren't obvious, eg: like downloading smaller header files to see if the packages are different from what you already have installed [03:11] nigtv, I'm not a pro with dd. I've just used it once or twice before [03:11] nigtv: dd won't work recursive [03:11] nigtv: it is a block "file" progam [03:11] ikonia, ohh okk thanxx a lot mann.. [03:11] ikonia: after playing around a bit, I've become convinced that ntfs is an alias for ntfs-3g in fstab. E.g. remounting a partition with either ntfs or ntfs-3g both respect the .NTFS-3G/UserMapping file. [03:11] ikonia, can you if=/some/folder/* ? [03:11] geekphreak: It works. Thank you very much for your help, I hope you have a good week. [03:11] geekphreak: OK I got the space fixed. Now what do I enter? [03:11] Onikukki: have fun good luck [03:11] edbian: no, you just do the folder and it does everything bellow it on it's own [03:11] peter_curry: did the command finish? [03:11] nigtv, There you have it! You have to do one file at a time. That is the strength of rsync. Traverses a file tree for you. You could use it to copy the files back you know... [03:12] edbian: * is multiple files, dd is a file copy [03:12] ikonia: what would you suggest I use? I made the backup with rsync, I tried restoring it with rsync but it seems to just keep wonking out and messing up grub, even when i reinstall the whole bootloader and everything [03:12] dont network [03:12] edbian: although the directory (and it's contents) can also be treated as a file [03:12] edbian: it complains, grub does, always, no matter what i do, about not being able to read c/h/s [03:12] nigtv: what exactly are you trying to do ? [03:12] ikonia, nigtv It complained about getting a directory as a source [03:12] <__taco1> geekphreak, can I ask another question? what I should do if I want change the system to auto login? [03:12] ikonia, one more problem man... my wifi not working in ubuntu 10.04.. it was workign in 9.10... i have googled my problem and i see that its easy to get BCM drivers working... but mine is : Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [03:12] geekphreak: I don't know. It just brought up peter_curry@PJC:~$ again (?) [03:13] ikonia: i made an rsync copy of my /, which has my home directory also, and now i want to restore that whole backup, onto a blank harddrive [03:13] shreymech: intel drivers should work out of the box [03:13] peter_curry: ok so it worked, try avast now again please [03:13] nigtv: could you not just do a simple copy and paste job? [03:13] nigtv: do you want to backup the whole operating system, or just the file system [03:13] ikonia, i couldn't get u .. sorry.. :( [03:13] shreymech: you have an intel wirless card ? [03:13] ikonia: well i wanted to back up everything, i just rsynced the / so i may have missed something? I'm not really sure [03:13] i do have the entire filesystem [03:14] nigtv, did it copy /proc and /sys and whatnot [03:14] im having a heck of a time restoring it though [03:14] nigtv: you need to be specifc, everyhing means nothing, do you want the whole file system, or tha actual whole operating system [03:14] nigtv, so what's the problem? you copied all of the files to the blank partition right? [03:14] ikonia, Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [03:14] shreymech: do an "sudo iwconfig" does it show your card ? [03:14] ikonia: well i backup up the entire /, i would use those two terms interchangably so maybe im confusing you, i want to restore the operating system, which i thought could be done if you had a copy of the entire filesystem [03:14] help i think i flashed my comp and got the wrong 1 [03:15] ikonia, noo.. not showing.... [03:15] nigtv: no, the file system is not the operating system on it's own [03:15] geekphreak: OK - it's prompting me for the license key again. I have it. I'll try inputting it again and see if it works this time. [03:15] __taco1: you wana enable auto login? [03:15] nigtv: rsync can't deal with things like "grub" as that's installed on the master boot record of a disk, which is not on a file system [03:15] peter_curry: ok [03:15] dont internet [03:15] how do i restore my comp to vista [03:15] nigtv: so do you want to clone the machine to another machine ? is that your end goal ? [03:15] ikonia: well yea, i figured as much, however isn't there some way to set that up also? [03:15] no, its back onto the same machine [03:16] nigtv, You could use rsync to bring the files back? [03:16] nigtv: ok - so take a dd image of the disk, then retore that dd image to the disk [03:16] ive tried all of the ways i know how to set up the bootloader again and all [03:16] no watch flash [03:16] nigtv, you will have to manually reinstall grub to make the system bootable after rsycning all of the files back [03:16] nigtv: that will do everything, including the boot sector [03:16] i cant take a dd, the filesystem is gone, i only have the / back up [03:16] ikonia, lo no wireless extensions. [03:16] eth1 no wireless extensions. [03:16] ppp0 no wireless extensions. [03:16] pan0 no wireless extensions. [03:16] shreymech: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:16] shreymech: I see [03:16] shreymech, modprobe ipw3945 [03:16] !wirless | shreymech [03:16] ? [03:16] psusi: yea, but that seems to cause some horrible problems, about c/h/s not being read [03:16] @wranger09 dont go back to that thing [03:16] no, dd is not a backup tool! [03:17] y [03:17] pure_hate: good call [03:17] __taco1: you can manually create the files [03:17] but nothing in the bios has changed, ive tried all the ways i know how to fix grub [03:17] @wranger09 one second [03:17] pure_hate: so you want to retore your system from a backup ? [03:17] dont watch flash firefox [03:17] nigtv, what does? [03:17] grub does [03:17] pure_hate: sorry not you [03:17] for ubuntu [03:17] geekphreak: OK - it opened fine. I remember I ran into those problems/errors last time after I attempted to update the virus database. I'm trying it again to see if I get the same errors ... [03:17] ikonia, tab fail? [03:17] nigtv: so you want to restore you system from a backup [03:17] :P [03:17] nigtv, have to be more specific than that [03:17] pure_hate: brain fail [03:17] it reads the operating system and kernel version and everything correctly [03:17] peter_curry: ok [03:17] ikonia: yes === pepee_ is now known as pepee [03:17] hello again guys!!!! a while ago i logged in here n asked about how can i mount the partitions automatically rather than doing so manually... so someone sent me to a forum... there i read about a package to install... the storage device manager... but i am facing some serious issues with the partitions [03:17] haha, hope you dont mind me hanging here, backtrack is slow tonight :-) [03:18] pure_hate, not found [03:18] :( [03:18] yes [03:18] i can set up grub again, at least I thought I could, im running into some nasty problems though, thought I might be doing something wrong [03:18] nigtv: right, so make the partitons, copy the file systems onto the new empty partitions, modify the fstab and grub configs, then re-install grub and you should be done [03:18] ikonia, what to do now..

How so? what in them [03:18] i'm using empathy to be here [03:18] root_admin: then we do not support it here - join #backtrack-linux [03:18] shreymech, Can you pastebin : sudo lshw -C network [03:18] now theyre all mounted in read-only mode... including a fat32 partition! it has never happened b4 and i dont even know how 2 change the settings [03:18] !backtrack [03:18] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [03:19] nigtv: it contains your disk layout, (read them for an example) [03:19] besides, i cant even make links (shortcuts) [03:19] thank ikoonia [03:19] can anyone please help me [03:19] right, but would i need to grab new uuids or something? im sorry [03:19] shreymech : yes === rgreening_ is now known as rgreening [03:19] some me [03:19] ikonia: thanks for the help earlier.. i upgraded rhythmbox and the im status works great now [03:19] digital-diesel: you helped yourself, well done [03:19] pure_hate, Blade-Runner , pasting [03:20] ikonia: what do i change in the fstab?

[03:21] <__taco1> geekphreak, what is context of that file? [03:21] geekphreak: OK - after attempting to update the virus database - I got the same errors again and then it informed me the program would terminate. So what good is this software if the virus definitions won't update? [03:21] pure_hate, http://paste.ubuntu.com/440654/ [03:22] i was installin the package pysdm [03:22] geekphreak: I've tried clamav - but it freezes and stalls every time I try running a scan on the entire system. [03:22] Blade-Runner, my wifi not working in ubuntu 10.04... :( check my provious posts above [03:23] peter_curry: thats wierd [03:23] geekphreak: Clamava does the same thing on certain directories when I try running scans on directories individually ... [03:23] ikonia: so i grab the new UUID's, put them into the fstab and grub.cfg files, then reinstall grub? [03:23] shreymech, and: lsmod | grep iwl3945 [03:24] nigtv: pretty much that's it [03:24] nigtv: that should at least get your system booting (you may need some other minor house keeping) [03:24] how would i go about installing grub again? i suppose that i could google.... [03:24] geekphreak: maybe I shouldn't be as concerned as I am about this virus thing. It would just be nice if either Avast or Clam AV would run properly ... [03:24] !grub2 > nigtv [03:24] nigtv, please see my private message [03:24] nigtv: no need to google, ubottu is your friend [03:24] peter_curry: at this point of time i would be more concerned why both aint working [03:24] hello again guys!!!! a while ago i logged in here n asked about how can i mount the partitions automatically rather than doing so manually... so someone sent me to a forum... there i read about a package to install... the storage device manager... but i am facing some serious issues with the partitions [03:24] now theyre all mounted in read-only mode... including a fat32 partition! it has never happened b4 and i dont even know how 2 change the settings [03:24] besides, i cant even make links (shortcuts) [03:24] can anyone please help me [03:24] i was installin the package pysdm [03:25] mariano: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[03:25] nigtv: don't worry, check the url from ubottu, it is very good [03:25] peter_curry, There are some proof of concept viruses that work if the user does something silly or the attacker knows a lot about the user. None of really been spotted in the wild [03:25] nigtv, - well kinda lol [03:26] peter_curry: is terminal stil open? [03:26] hey, does anyone know how to speed up VNC on Ubuntu? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:26] hiexpo: theres malware for linux, i believe there are viruses and such also [03:26] geekphreak: Do you know of any other free antivirus program for Linux/Ubuntu that I could try besides Avast! or Clam AV. Should I simply reinstall Ubuntu 10.04? Terminal is not still open. [03:27] peter_curry: why are you concerned about virus's ? [03:27] peter_curry, Trinity rescue disc has 4 AV scanner you can run as a boot/live disc [03:27] peter_curry: avg has linux version, it notifys you of virus , wont remove it sadly [03:27] nigtv, just malware as far as i know thats why i said kinda but who knows [03:27] pure_hate, i did... no output..

[03:29] nigtv: no problem, shout if you have specific issues [03:29] geekphreak: OK - terminal is open. [03:30] peter_curry: the antivirus programs for linux will not protect you against anything, so the best thing to do is accept that virus's dont work the same in linux and only use software from trusted sources [03:30] peter_curry: sudo apt-get install rkhunter chkrootkit [03:30] ikonia: i agree with you sir [03:30] peter_curry, I have been running linux for about 3 years now.

I have to go to Appearances and re-enable Visual Effects but that only works until next login. Any ideas? [04:14] does anyone here have steam installeD? [04:14] big ban list here lol [04:15] acerimmer_: pretty strange, I don't have a sound card i this PC, I plugged in a Logitech usb headset, viola! Sound works, skype works (even with the mic), so it must be issues with native sound boards huh. [04:15] cody__, yes [04:16] kassah: do your games lag? [04:16] greezmunkey: yeah, i've got great sound but had to change settings for my headset. NOW i have to reconfigure to get speakers back [04:16] does anyone have any idea how to access outlook web access premium on ubuntu? I know that it works on Linux because my school computers use red hat and using firefox, I get access to owa premium. [04:16] acerimmer_: you modified someting in gcong-editor or compiz settigs manager¿ [04:16] why doesn't my shift key work in vnc and why is it so slow [04:16] cody__: nice ban evasion :) glad to see you can keep calm this time around. [04:16] guess i'll go back to windows [04:16] acerimmer_: wow, like they just don't want to play nice together. [04:16] cody__, I havn't played any games through it... I mostly use it for IM for my buddies who don't use any other IM service. sorry... the UI is very laggy for me. [04:16] acerimmer_: ok, I went under alsamixer and played with stuff. Now he hears static, and when I turn mic up, static gets louder [04:16] xangua: yes compiz. used ubuntu tweak. is there a command to reset gcong?? [04:17] kassah: ya its too laggy to play anything. im sure there is a way to get games to play smoothly [04:17] acerimmer_: then search in ubuntu tweak what you modified [04:17] alonea: so u made proress then! lol. So many variables... [04:17] hi how do i make my 2nd hard disk load directly without mounting and unmounting all the time on 10.04 LTS ? [04:17] i can't do anything over vnc without shift key and with it being so dog-slow [04:17] xangua: tried that. looking for a terminal alternative [04:18] I read some security papers this morning that mentions one of the worst things you can do is use scripts like ubuntu tweak, is that about right? [04:18] piyu: you need to edit fstab to mount on boot. [04:18] greezmunkey: ubuntu tweak is the lazy way and in my opinion goes right with envyng [04:18] acerimmer_: ok, on one forum it said pulseaudio = bad and to get rid of it. might as well try... [04:18] alonea: i wouldn't do that if i wuz u... [04:18] me, either. [04:19] im trying to recover a ubuntu 10.04 install.. grub menu comes up and then ubuntu splash screen.. then it just shows a black screen [04:19] acerimmer_: *shurgs* I can always reinstall it. I have never even heard of pulse audio. used to the older stuff [04:19] bastid_raZor: there you go! [04:19] I have an HP HDX notebook equipped with an SD•MS/Pro•MMC•XD card reader manufactured by JMicron Technology Corp. How can I get Ubuntu to recognize and operate it?

[04:20] hey guys [04:21] Hi, I cant seem to get the UUID for my swap with blkid [04:21] surplusxmas: there is some help if you google "ubuntu sd reader" - you could try that... [04:21] cody__, I generally setup one .wine directory per game... and steam doesn't let me do that... [04:21] i sudo blkid /dev/sda5 [04:21] cody__, so I find it very hard to use in linux. [04:21] anybody here use backtrack? [04:21] greezmunkey: Thank you. I will try that out. [04:21] just returns "type=swap" [04:21] Hey, I'm running a LiveUSB of 10.04 on a laptop and everytime I go to run the install program, it automatically shuts down, any ideas of what's up? [04:21] hello? [04:21] I'm trying to get a shuttlepro working with ubuntu lucid, but can't find any way of testing the buttons, etc... is there a way to see the input from a USB HID device in ubuntu? [04:22] @shrouded, check the boot disc for errors, could be a bad burn, cheap media, scratches, or the BIOS may need to be reset [04:22] nigtv: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and elimate the UUID's you see via blkid [04:22] iamm, cat /dev/input/event* [04:22] iamm, one of those files [04:22] iamm, don't use the * [04:23] Hey, is anyone able to connect to the Ubuntu Releases torrent tracker? [04:23] is there a way to change how long notifications are shown for? [04:23] kassah: are you talking to me? [04:23] nigtv: is it not listed in /etc/fstab? [04:23] iantlopp, yeah... sorry... [04:23] kassah: it's okay... one of the reasons I try not to use autocomplete [04:24] anyone? I'm trying to get the i386 install of Lucid, and the torrent is not working now. [04:24] heh [04:24] it appears that the torrent tracker is down. [04:24] iantlopp, hehe... yeah... but it should at least give you gobbly-gook when you do something with the HID device... [04:25] kassah: I'm getting no such file or directory (probably because I'm a horrible newb at this) [04:25] I made a script that converts videos by using an FFMPEG command... I was wondering if there is someway I can make it convert a list of videos with one command [04:25] duckwars: bash loops? [04:25] duckwars: i use GNU rm for that [04:25] iantlopp, first... cd to the dir /dev/input/ [04:25] iantlopp, then do ls [04:25] can anyone even hear/see me? [04:26] hmmwhatsthisdo, yes. [04:26] halorgium: I'm not sure what loops are... I was BARELY able to put the script together [04:26] there, kassah [04:26] wiggles: what is GNU rm? [04:26] iantlopp, that should list the directory... there should be like event0-5.. or more... or less [04:26] wats a good video capture card software for ubuuntu? [04:26] hmmwhatsthisdo: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent .. this started immediately after adding it to tranmission.. [04:26] 1-14 and a few extras... mouse0-3, mice, js0 [04:26] etc.. [04:26] duckwars: its a tool to convert videos [04:26] duckwars: i think wiggles is playing a trick on you [04:26] hmmm. got my window controls back and will have to rebuild the panels. oh well. === EntityReborn is now known as JaRoUn [04:27] duckwars: rm - remove files or directories === JaRoUn is now known as EntityReborn [04:27] duckwars: just rm *.avi or whatever [04:27] wiggles: i see, rm command [04:27] iantlopp, do... cat event# (replacing # with the number of the event)... then do somethign with the hid device (press the button) if something shows up... then it was the right one =) [04:27] yes, lolerskates were ridden [04:27] duckwars: rm is the command used to remove/delete files [04:27] duckwars: as in frack your file system [04:27] bastid_raZor: Ok. It's not even connecting to the tracker server after adding it into *any* torrent client. It appears that the tracker is down on my end. [04:27] zee52: from what I've heard, Kino captures video well. [04:27] halorgium: no thats redhat rm [04:27] ok ty [04:27] iantlopp, do that to each event... if none of them match.. then it's proboly not working. [04:27] ahh, thanks Kassah [04:27] wiggles: actually gentoo, but close ;) [04:27] GNU rm is different [04:27] wiggles: either offer good advice starting right now or be banned. last warning [04:27] well I've got to reattach the device :) [04:27] iantlopp, unfortunately I cannot stay... being called to dinner... good luck! [04:27] thanks very much for the help kassah [04:27] oal galera [04:28] wiggles: though gentoo uses GNU coreutils, so it is the same :P [04:28] hmmwhatsthisdo: not sure how that would be but if you say so. [04:28] wiggles: man rm shows it as "remove files or directories". proceed with caution [04:28] kassah: AWESOME!! okay, it's event16 [04:28] how would I go about updating/installing grub2 on a harddrive while running in livecd? [04:28] was easy enough to find as it showed up on LS after I plugged it into the system.

Am I looking at gufw? [04:50] the alternate install cd? or server cd? [04:50] hey guys [04:51] i am looking at the ubuntu download page and it says 32-bit recommended for most users. 64 bit not recommended for daily desktop use. why is that? are thre less packages for 64 bit or something? [04:52] on ubuntu lucid desktop, does any body know why i can delete files and folders own by root under any standard user account whenever i use nautilus ? [04:52] Shamoun: can you give me the link to that page? [04:52] bastid_raZor, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [04:52] blackstar: if you're running nautilus with root permissions it will be abel to do anything [04:53] Shamoun: wow.. i use 64-bit for nearly a year now. daily. unsure why it states that. [04:53] someone to help me to modify my script code in bash?? [04:53] yes but i'm not running it as root, [04:54] blackstar: gksu nautilus & [04:54] tks [04:54] samc, ty, I have a listing from "aplay -L" for IEC958 as well as HDMI, but I have no /etc/asound.conf file ... should I create it ? [04:54] blackstar: be *careful* [04:54] Shamoun: I was curious about hte 64-bit too.. last time i used ubuntu flash was still. well; a horrid nightmare, but it's flash, so... [04:55] Coded1: yeah it doesn't exist by default - if it's not there it just picks whatever audio device it wants [04:55] hey all [04:55] I installed Ubuntu Lucid and now my volume is extremely quiet. I have every output channel turned up to it's fullest but still not very loud. How can I fix this? Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [04:55] samc, cool will give it a shot [04:55] there's also a gui for choosing digital output within gnome, but I'm not sure if that works differently to asound.conf [04:55] I've got two sounds cards in my PC at home, and pulseaudio and alsa have given me no end of trouble :) [04:56] every time i reboot the computer now since loading 10.4_x64 i get a white screen and then it just sits there [04:56] Shamoun: in my opinion, 64bit is just as stable as 32bit. [04:56] i have to power off the computer like 5-8 times for it to boot normally [04:56] samc, im using mythbuntu which uses xfce not gnome [04:56] slops: that sounds like it's probably hardware... [04:57] Coded1: oh right .. yeah asound.conf should do the trick then :) [04:57] but didnt do it with 9.10 [04:57] Shamoun: I ve been using licud 64 bit with 64 bit flash with no problems at all [04:57] samc, will give it a go thanks again [04:57] no probs :) [04:58] So I just upgraded to 10.04, and I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get my Volume control on the panel :/ (it was there before I upgraded) [04:58] Coded1: here's my config file - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f04Mkiz1 [04:58] IM BACK!! :d [04:58] :D [04:58] Flakeparadigm: I had that issue with a usb headset.

[05:06] which is why i was su surprised, i thought maybe there were less applications available [05:06] Shamoun: why it would claim 64bit is not for daily use.. i have no idea [05:06] nope. its not showing anything but my mouse icon and an ugly red background [05:06] yea im using x64 right now [05:07] bastid_raZor, a 64 bit linx system can still run 32 bit code right? [05:07] yes [05:07] Shamoun: 32bit apps yes [05:08] some packages won't install because there is a x64 version of it [05:08] bastid_raZor, I ony use root to create the files or folders, for a user with no administration or root rights, under his account or home folder for the standard users , ... now whenever the standard user is trying to delete the files or folders using the terminal he can't not do it, but if he uses nautilus it allow him to delete the files, maybe someone here can try and they will see what i mean [05:08] keep that in mind [05:08] greezmunkey, okay.

[05:13] okay so i have an error but idk how to fix it...my ubuntu installed fine but never boots...the error is FATAL ERROR:Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder...any ideas? === drumline is now known as drumline_ [05:15] is there any reason to by an ATI card for linux? [05:15] hey my system crashes sometimes sometimes mouse doesn't work or wireless quits in most cases i have to hard reset my laptop. How do i view system logs for the crash so i can find out wats going wrong [05:15] greezmunkey, I get the alsamixer just like when I run alsamixer [05:16] Loshki: mine's working just fine [05:16] Flakeparadigm: I am at a loss man, sorry. [05:16] though I've never really pushed it, but I get 60fps in compiz, pretty constantly, and that's just on a laptop [05:16] phinfinity, check dmesg from the command prompt [05:17] does any one have a DELL inspiron 1525 with ubuntu 10.04 with wifi working..plzz help me [05:17] greezmunkey, it's alright. I'll keep looking [05:17] dmesg gives my current bootup log i want the previous one [05:17] oi [05:17] Flakeparadigm: what sound board are you using? [05:17] shreymech: have you tried connecting the dell machine via wired net connection yet, then let it find drivers? [05:18] mine had to do that (HP model, admittedly) before it would connect wirelessly. [05:18] yess i did [05:18] iantlopp, yes i did [05:19] sorry, noob at this... thought that might help [05:19] I think I may have finally found something [05:19] i'm lost === nick_ is now known as Guest68874 [05:20] shreymech, is your wireless network switch turned on? [05:21] okay guys...somehow the ubuntu install effed up my partitions when it installed dual boot...so im trying to remove it completely and give another go...any idea how? [05:21] JHAY: Just pop in the CD and go through the installation process again [05:21] JHAY, http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic74042.html [05:22] right...but it is now trying to install a second ubuntu partition along with my current ubuntu and windows 7 [05:22] that doesnt seem to make much sense [05:22] JHAY: Oh, just nuke the other ubuntu partition and install in its place [05:22] ok [05:23] RoDIMua-x, yess [05:23] yeah thats the easiest thing to do [05:23] RoDiMuS-X, yess [05:23] no idea how to [05:23] and if i nuke the current partition , won't i have to repair windows? [05:24] well no luck. I'll probably be back in an hour or so. === Guest68874 is now known as littlebones [05:24] no, it should leave the windows partition alone [05:25] weird because all the forums say to insert a windows cd to be able to do this? [05:25] boot to the recovery console using cd rom or whatever [05:25] to have a triple boot or to overwrite the existing ubuntu os? [05:26] well to use disk manager i have to get into the recovery console right? but im using netbook and have no cd drive [05:26] hm, well that's a real pain. do you have one you can attach via USB or other port? [05:26] i'll guess no [05:26] nope [05:27] exactly [05:27] so yeah, i guess you would have to use the windows disk manager [05:27] does lucid ship a working injection driver for intel? [05:27] but the problem is, windows doesn't detect ext3 or 4 partitions [05:27] the problem was basically step by step [05:27] i installed dual boot [05:27] everything was super easy went great [05:27] but then [05:27] when i tried to boot ubuntu [05:28] nothing happened except cursor chilling on blank screen [05:28] it was suggested my grub was messed up [05:28] so i booted from usb [05:28] went to terminal [05:28] and tried cfdisk [05:28] then got [05:28] JHAY: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:28] fatal error: partition extends final cylinder bad partition 2 or whatever [05:29] beauty, hmmmm [05:30] ls [05:30] err [05:30] lol [05:30] Hi, I seem to have installed both Python3 and Python3.1 Was this intentional on the part of the package manager? Or did I goof ? Should I remove 3.0 ? [05:30] yeah i have no idea what to do... [05:31] chris, as long as it's working i wouldn't worry [05:31] and jhay, did you install using that windows ubuntu installer thing or do you have a bootable partition on the USB? [05:31] i installed using usb [05:32] you can access ubuntu live from it? [05:32] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uU0hUr6v [05:32] dont even know what that is [05:32] when you create an ubuntu cd or dvd, you can use it to try ubuntu off the disk. meaning it doesn't install anything but you can still access the system [05:32] oh yeah [05:33] like, it would give you an option to try ubuntu without changing the system [05:33] trieing to compile Epona [05:33] yeah i can run the image perfectly [05:33] off the usb [05:33] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer [05:33] beautiful, that means you have access to gParted [05:33] so you can use gparted (partition editor) to create a new ubuntu partition if you still desire to do that [05:34] or just clean install overtop of the existing partition [05:34] yeah [05:34] any help [05:34] okay is that pretty straightforward or complex instructions? [05:34] to re-partition or clean install overtop? [05:34] clean install overtop [05:34] yeah [05:34] cause the partitions are already set up [05:35] is gparted included in ubuntu image or do i need to grab it from somewhere [05:35] you're just telling the installer to wipe out whatevers there and install overtop [05:35] it should be included, if not, grab it from the synaptic [05:35] it's in the default repos [05:35] well, the partitions are whats messed up though right? so wouldnt i have to re-do them? [05:35] Coded1: sorry was afk .. can you do 'aplay -l' as well? [05:35] yeah you can do that [05:35] gparted will do a nice job of partitioning [05:35] hello. in synaptic package manager, every time i click to do something on a package (un/install, etc...), i have to wait about 20 seconds before the program will begin responding to stimuli again. has anybody else had this problem? [05:36] okay so i can go into ubuntu use gparted to partition, and still be able to boot windows without the recovery disk later? [05:36] you should [05:36] as long as it's in a seperate partition [05:36] k...i'll try and let you know in a few mins [05:36] thnx [05:36] because GRUB (the screen that lets you choose what OS you want) will override all other bootloaders, and it will automatically detect windows [05:36] toolbear: It's probably checking to make sure it's up to date. you could run wireshark to be sure. [05:36] okay cool [05:37] greezmunkey: what's wireshark? [05:37] if you need help with the partitioning, grab xchat from the repos and i can give you more help if you need it [05:37] I'm running a CLI only version of ubuntu. I'm in the terminal and I can't scroll up to read some of the errors i'm getting. How can I make it so I can scroll up to read that, note pgup and pgdown don't do anything. [05:37] toolbear: packet sniffer [05:38] it's crazy [05:38] Moral_: shift+pg up [05:38] Moral_: better way is to pipe to less [05:39] greezmunkey: ah, ok, thanks, i'll look into it [05:39] phlak_user, thanks. Also yeah. I'm just reading /var/log/messages. Thanks again! [05:39] howdy! How does one use wildcard charaters in the commandline? [05:39] specifically, if I want to range wildcard characters from 0000 to 9999 [05:39] econdudeawesome: like this --> ls -la foo* [05:40] !regexp [05:40] phlak_user does that work with wget? [05:40] !regexp [05:40] am I allowed to ask what a good rpg would be? maybe even one with an online community :) [05:41] or strategy.. [05:41] econdudeawesome: you will have to look at the wget man page [05:41] Tac_Home, It's really a more #ubuntu-offtopic thing to ask... [05:41] phlak_user thanks. [05:42] how do I remove something from a blacklist? [05:42] edbian, gracias [05:42] i'm running 9.04, and every time i shut down, rather than shutting off completely, ubuntu turns every hardware thing off, fans, drives, etc, but leaves the computer on with the error [52.(something)] System Halted [05:45] CkhiKuzad, can you post the full error message? [05:46] mattgyver: its just some cryptic numbers and the words system halted. [05:46] CkhiKuzad, do those numbers appear random or is it the same each time? [05:46] they appear to be the same [05:50] CkhiKuzad, silly questiong but does shutting down from command line (sudo shutdown -h now) and from gnome do the same thing? [05:51] just a test [05:51] hm [05:51] yes it does, mattgyver [05:52] anyone out there taht can help me with an issue? [05:52] Christos``, ask a question please [05:53] CkhiKuzad, not really too sure, maybe check and see if theres a bios update available for your board? [05:53] my board is from 2000. and the creators NEVER offered a single update. i cant usb boot. [05:53] how do i know if mysql, php and httpd are installed or not? [05:53] what's the problem? [05:54] hi guys, i issued command "ssh-keygen -l -f know_hosts", but it seems that all hosts' ip addr are encrypted, is it possible to found out those ip addr? if not, how to disable the encryption of host ip in file `known_hosts`? [05:54] which mysql? [05:54] CkhiKuzad, that sucks, im not too sure, i looked a bit but unfortunately dont see anything like that but at the same time i dont know the full error message [05:55] My question is dual booting i installed ubuntu on a seperate harddrive but i had to disconnect my main harddrive to do so but now i bought the cable where i can put two harddrives and i made ubuntu the slave drive but problem is i need it where my main drive dont go right away into the os i want it to give me the option to chose which hd i want [05:55] how do i know if mysql, php and httpd are installed or not? [05:55] Hi all. I need a little bit of help. [05:56] Avasz, DeathKnight : i think the easiest way is use command "which mysql php httpd apache2" [05:56] I need to update my webkit version, but i don't know how [05:56] could anyone tell me how to copy the name? - - [05:56] anyone got my question? [05:56] lol === Avasz is now known as Guest68471 [05:57] does anyone know if installing either mythTV or XBMC affects WIFI? [05:58] Christos``, sounds like you just need to configure your grub menu really, are you running 10.04? [05:58] yeah [05:58] Yea [05:58] does any one have a DELL inspiron 1525 with ubuntu 10.04 with wifi working..plzz help me [05:58] oh how do i configure my grub menu [05:59] Christos``, first of all is there an OS on the other drive, and if so what is it? [05:59] windows 7 [05:59] thats my main harddrive [05:59] i mean master [05:59] Hi Everyone. Just have a simple question: I've googled around for this but cant find anything conclusive. How do I mount ext3 and ext4 partitions in windows 7? I'd had to format my ubuntu partitions to NTFS just to see them in windows. I know there's easy drivers for ext2, but I'd like to keep ext3/4. [05:59] and ubuntu is my secondary until I learn how to use linux [06:00] nerex, If you formatted your ubuntu partition as ntfs you erased it... [06:00] maybe grub4dos do it [06:00] Christos``, ill pm you [06:00] ok [06:01] I didn't. I have it as ext3 [06:01] and I have an extended partition that's ext4 [06:01] just edit the menu.lst.. [06:01] I haz quick question. - Whats the benefit to running 64 bit over 32 as a server? [06:01] nerex, ok. It's just that in your previous post you said "I'd had to format my ubuntu partitions to NTFS just to see them in windows [06:01] no menu.list in grub2 [06:01] !grub2 | Christos`` [06:01] Christos``: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [06:01] ooh, sorry. I meant I'd hate to have to [06:02] in grub4dos [06:02] it has [06:02] I need to update my webkit version, but i don't know how\ [06:02] Traveler8, we dont recommend that here [06:02] I need to update my webkit version, but i don't know how, any ideas? [06:02] nerex, I think the current solution is to use ext2 drivers that are out there to view / edit ext3 and 4. Obviously you shouldn't be doing extensive work this way. [06:03] oh, i ee [06:03] nerex, There is no ext4 driver. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ [06:03] All i really would need is to view / play back media files. That'd be it. No need to write. [06:03] Thanks for the link. [06:03] nerex, No problem [06:04] nerex, Reading is relatively safe compared to writing. [06:04] nerex, Read what it says! Careful not to delete things you shouldn't! [06:04] Thanks a ton, edbian. I'll look into it. I think I should be able to take it from here~ [06:05] Let me rephrase, i am trying to get java working in midori, and i don't know how to update it [06:05] nerex, No problem! [06:05] I love to help people and I love linux. === Traveler8 is now known as lonelinsky [06:06] So I'll ask again since no one replied.... :/ [06:06] Can anyone help me? The forums were useless? [06:07] Any difference between servers that are 32 or 64bit version? [06:08] tm0: what version of ubuntu are you using'¿ [06:08] SirMoo, i think 64 can take more ram [06:08] xangua Ubuntu 9.10 [06:08] tm() there is no support in midori for java plugin yet. [06:08] It ram really the only thing thats a benifit? [06:08] tm0: are you using the midori PPA¿ [06:08] cant get yahoo to connect through pidgin. it did earlier today but now...nothin :( [06:08] 2^64 vs 2^32 [06:08] What is PPA xangua? [06:09] !ppa [06:09] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [06:09] Sirmoo, i've never used one so don't take my word explictly.

Just have a simple question: I've googled around for t [06:12] Good evening fellas. Q: For programs that refuse to start due to permissions issues (ie. conf files are under var instead of home), is there any serious problems with using chown to resolve the issue? 'sudo chown foo /var/lib/res_bar' for example. [06:14] anyone know of a program that will stream shoutcast? [06:14] RoDiMuS-X try streamtuner [06:14] xangua i get this ever Error: need a repository as argument [06:15] you can record with it also. i think the package name to rip is streamripper or streamjuice. [06:15] Cool thanks rsouthard [06:15] yw. [06:17] xangua i get this ever Error: need a repository as argument [06:18] tm0: sorry, the first is ppa:midori/ppa , not ppa:midori/ :S [06:19] Like Gnote replaces Tomboy and is faster (because #mono is not included, and it is a complete C++ rewrite), is there any similar replacement to FSpot? (Almost similar, but faster and in C++) [06:19] Doyle, kinda 50/50 in my book, sometimes its okay to do that, some time its just worth while to make sure the user is part of the right group (excluding root) [06:19] how can i apply same permissions set e.g. user, group and permissions of one directory to another? both directory are identical. [06:19] Has Gnote replaced Tomboy? Because I think someone forgot to tell Tomboy. [06:20] xangua i get the same error [06:20] rocket16: shotwall says omg!ubuntu! blog :) [06:20] Error404NotFound: Select both of them using Ctrl+Click, and right click them to select properties, and specify the permissions, [06:20] someone to know good enough bash scripting to help me?? [06:20] ubuntu_, what are you trying to accomplish? [06:20] rocket16, hmmm, and if i have to do same using commandline? [06:20] tm0: whad do you get with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori/ppa ¿¿ [06:21] xangua: Lol, Thanks, :) I tried already, but it is not so fast, :( [06:21] Error404NotFound: chmod [06:21] rocket16, btw, permissions inside directory A are not alike, at places they are 755, 644 and etc... [06:21] Error404NotFound look into chmod and umask. [06:21] mattgyver: Thanks mattgyver. For resources that are unrelated to system or which may contain sensitive info it should be OK. [06:21] cardamon, i know, but thats not what i am looking for, though thats the basis, chown as well ofocurse... [06:21] Error404NotFound: Use chmod +x foldername to make all files inside them executable, and other chmod variants using chmod +option foldername [06:21] rocket16: well it uses less memory says the post [06:22] xangua: Yes, thanks, :) I will try it once again, [06:22] rocket16, naaa, i know these commands, just looking an easy way like using a for loop to check and apply same permissions on files... [06:22] hello [06:22] xuwuhuai: Hello, :) [06:22] xangua http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/440699/ [06:22] whats the kernel command line option to boot the text mode installer instead of gui.. "text" ? [06:22] help [06:22] Doyle, yeah. If it were me I would make the change and a note of it. then i would look into seeing if there is an alternative, sometimes you find better solutions. [06:22] For copying permissions...dunno. But it's pretty easy to look at a directory, know what permissions it has (because it tells you) and chmod another directory with the same. [06:23] How did ubuntu people find out udev assigns ethernet adapter names? [06:23] It is really a geek thing [06:23] some one can speak chinese ? [06:23] mattgyver: good point. thanks [06:23] xuwuhuai, in #ubuntu-cn [06:23] !cn | xuwuhuai [06:23] xuwuhuai: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:23] I didn't even know udev until I googled "linux change name adapter" [06:24] where is the md5usm for ubuntu 10?

[06:39] sain: Just right-click anywhere inside a folder, now select "Open Terminal Here" [06:39] Loshki: thanks. That's what it seems like, and wasn't sure if grub had any way around that. The grub docs don't seem to address this situation. [06:40] ok thank you rocket16 [06:40] xangua don't worry i'll figure it out later [06:40] White-Horse: My pleasure, my friend, :) [06:40] christmas11: Many possible reasons. Wireless router lost power or needs a power cycle. Maybe the router admin (if its not you) changed the password. If its a laptop the wireless switch may have been toggled by mistake. If you plugged in a LAN cable it may have switched to LAN automatically depending on configurations. [06:40] rocket16: "open in terminal" is not among the right click menu options [06:40] xuwuhai: what is your question? you didn't ask a question in ubuntu-cn. [06:40] xuwuhuai: No problem. You can ask any problem here, :) [06:41] christmas11: if you've recently installed any appliances they may interfear with the signal. Is there a deep freeze between you and the wireless router? [06:41] Doyle: I'm using the same router for this connection [06:41] is there a way to edit the right click menu to add it? [06:41] sain: Well, go to the Desktop once, and in any blank area, right-click, now is there anything in the menu like "Open in Terminal"? [06:41] I have been configuring Mythtv on the other computer [06:41] sain, you can make nautilus scripts [06:41] sain: Sure, you can use Nautilus-Scripts. An easier way is to use Ubuntu-Tweaks tool, which can do it via GUI. [06:42] christmas11: From the wireless panel, do you see the network as being available with good reception? [06:42] ruien: well, assuming grub chainloads to the windows partition correctly, it's basically a windows issue from that point onwards. Do you know if it even gets that far? [06:42] Doyle: Its a hidden network [06:42] sain: Does the menu-entry come now? [06:42] Loshki: yes, it gets that far. It gets into some pre-windows Dos routine and hangs forever. [06:43] if there wasn't a known solution, i'll just put the image back on its original partition, and then reinstall ubuntu on top of it, as in that case the dual-boot *will* work [06:43] ruien: sounds like the grub portion worked then. You need windows booting help at this point I think... [06:44] Is mythtv know to cause problems with connections? [06:44] rocket16: i'm still trying to figure out how to find it in Ubuntu tweaks [06:44] ruien, is this an OEM image, i don think it will work on a different motherboard [06:44] christmas11: Do you see other networks? Have you power cycled that computer? [06:44] Yes, I see other networks. No, I'll try the power cycle now [06:45] ruien: another less drastic thing you could try is to save the ubuntu mbr, then try doing a fixmbr from a windows recovery. If that works, you can reinstall the ubuntu mbr and try again, if that makes sense... [06:45] mattgyver: no, this was a fresh install on this system, just on another partition. [06:45] ruien, cool just a thought :) [06:45] Loshki: that's a really cool idea, i'll try it [06:45] yeah, thanks guys [06:46] christmas11: ok. At first glance the system seems fine hardware wise, the power cycle may work. [06:46] Dual booting OSX and Ubuntu, trying to read write to both partitions, but I'm only able to read and write to the Public folder on the OSX partition. Any help on editing my fstab, or permissions would be greatly appreciated. [06:47] tdhz77: if you type "mount", what is the OSX partition mounted as, and what are the associated mount options? [06:47] ruien: /dev/sda3 hfsplus [06:47] sain: under personal group, there us an entry "manage scripts". Enter there to edit nautilus scripts. [06:48] xuwuhuai, how do you whether ubuntu-cn people are hot or not? hot has nothing to do with your questions :-) [06:48] hi all [06:48] how do i uninstall a program? [06:48] tdhz77: rw right? [06:48] tdhz77: I think after you type '/etc/fstab' you just have to enter the details. Found a good ref. http://www.tuxation.com/creating-home-partition-mac-linux.html [06:48] doyle: hi doyle :) [06:48] EzeQL: use sudo apt-get remove packagename [06:48] yo man [06:48] brianlions: support first, comedy second, if you don't mind... [06:49] ruien: when I put rw, I get a mounting error on startup [06:49] okay, so that's the problem. Hmm. What are you using to mount? mount -t ? [06:49] tdhz77: can you tell us the exact text of the error message? [06:50] EzeQL: or, simply use Software Centre, or synaptic === cellofellow is now known as all === Koov is now known as Koovy [06:50] rocket16 , there is no gui here :) [06:50] Doyle: doesn't look like the power cycle worked === all is now known as cellofellow [06:50] i am connected throught consolo [06:50] a *console === Doyle is now known as all === all is now known as Doyle [06:51] how can i get info about a certain package wuth apt-get [06:51] hello [06:51] jhay, get 'er all fixed up? [06:51] EzeQL: apt-cache show packagename [06:51] sort of [06:51] i got it installed [06:51] thanks [06:51] dual boot [06:51] ruien: im just clicking places >> OSX and it mounts ok, but when I edit FSTAB to make it RW, i reboot and then it says, "mount error Press S to skip or M to manually edit" I can't edit the fstab by pressing M, so I must skip. [06:51] and it boots fine [06:51] EzeQL: What sort of info, by the way? [06:51] JHAY: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:51] but [06:51] christmas11: crimminy. jus a second [06:51] not a problem [06:51] go on.. [06:51] JHAY: stop hitting enter, or the Floobot will get you... [06:52] rocket16: i got to Manage scripts, but there is no option to open folder in terminal [06:52] i plugged in my ethernet cord...then the network status animation started...then it stopped (while i was still plugged in) and said no connection [06:52] tdhz77: this will be easier to debug if you do the mounting manually, I think, by su'ing to root and trying to mount the partition with the 'mount' command; this will generate better error output [06:52] did you take it out and stick it back in? worst to worst set up the connection manually, or install wicd as your network manager [06:52] sain: you need to restart nautilus to make nautilus-open-terminal work [06:52] on 9.04 i used wicd and it was awesome [06:53] and i am once again clueless...i think ubuntu is gonna make it as hard as possible for me...nothing will work plug and play [06:53] sain: Yes, it is difficult to set such one. Is the Nautilus-open-terminal script installed? [06:53] Flannel , i have a very old ffmpeg bin [06:53] i want to update it [06:53] hey all trying to do some cusomization of xscreensaver, can anyone tell me where i can see the fonts available on my machine? the directory? [06:53] sain: I believe, the Package is not installed properly, :( [06:53] which is the easier way? [06:53] wicd is that an included tool? [06:53] EzeQL: Use sudo apt-get update [06:53] EzeQL: It was a bin file? or it's installed via package management? [06:53] it's in the repos, it removes network manager but does all the same thing [06:53] ruien: ok, /dev/sda3 / hfsplus defaults 0 1, I believe, I screwed up by putting / and not /home :) let me reboot and try again. Thanks for tipping me in the right direction. [06:53] EzeQL: I mean, sudo apt-get update packagename [06:53] via package manament [06:54] rocket16. i'll try to restart machine and reinstall nautilus [06:54] doyle: thanks man [06:54] EzeQL: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [06:54] sure, good luck [06:54] my laptop wouldn't connect to the school wireless network on 9.04 with network manager, switched to wicd and it was all good [06:54] sain: Sure, [06:54] christmas11: from the terminal type 'lshw -C network' do you see the wirless card? Does it show broadcasting: yes as well as a driver and IP near the bottom? [06:54] sain: just killall nautilus [06:54] sain: or log out [06:54] yeah well i know my wireless wont work because it needs proprietary drivers [06:54] tdhz77: did that work? [06:54] but [06:54] flannel, how do i check that ? :) [06:54] cant install without internet lol [06:54] feelking kinda noob [06:54] EzeQL: `lsb_release -a` will tell you [06:55] sain: Just go to a terminal, and type: killall -user username (username is your username there) and it will serve as same like Restart [06:55] EzeQL: it's ok to be noob here... [06:55] 9.10 [06:55] set up the connection manually then [06:55] hey guys, can anyone help me?, its been 4 days i installed ubuntu 9.10 but tried some things butt still no sound... [06:55] EzeQL: Or, go to System-About Ubuntu to see the VersioN. [06:55] :) [06:55] rocket16 , there is no gui installed [06:56] tried...when i plug in its like it sees something, but then goes blank [06:56] Flannel 9.10 [06:56] like i cant even get to my router [06:56] rocket16: thanks. it works like a champ. [06:56] wow, haven't heard of that before [06:56] so ill try wicd...is that in the synaptics whatever [06:56] Doyle: it returns 3 *-network, one ethernet controller, one network controller (product wireless LAN controller) and one wireless interface [06:56] sure is [06:56] rocket16 apt-get update ffmpeg doesnt work [06:56] mayank: Well, better to install 10.04 LTS. Also, click the Sound Preferences, :) and see if everything is set or not [06:56] aight [06:56] EzeQL: Alright. What version is currently installed? You can find out via `apt-cache policy ffmpeg` [06:56] sain: You are welcome, friend, :) [06:57] hopefully ill be chatting with you in a few in ubuntu [06:57] hopefully [06:57] mayank: sound is a notorious problem area in many linuxes. I had good luck with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. You can skip over the alsa gui stuff if it doesn't apply to your release... [06:57] EzeQL: Well, you can update your whole System too, that will increase performance, :) Although offtopic. [06:57] Installed: 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.1 Candidate: 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.2 [06:57] christmas11: We're interested in the wireless interface [06:57] i really want to start playing with this...trying hard not to get frustrated...got the flu and pneumonia on tuesday and have been bed ridden looking for a project (this was supposed to be an easy one) [06:58] rocket16 , sysadmin should do that [06:58] EzeQL: Then you're all up-to-date, what made you think it was old and outdated? [06:58] rocket16: what are u saying man, i don;t want to install ubuntu again, i will upgrade it later, and all set to auto detect, and i have also change it but no luck, [06:58] well svn20090706 does not look uptodate [06:58] maybe the bin located on apt-get is very old? [06:58] Doyle: it is broadcasting, doesn't say anything about IP or drive [06:59] r [06:59] EzeQL: Flannel: isn't there a medibuntu version of ffmpeg, and wouldn't it be better? [07:00] christmas11: if it doesn't indicate a driver, it may have wandered off somewhere... [07:00] EzeQL: That package was actually updated a little over a month ago, so it's up to date [07:00] christmas11: though, it sees networks so that shouldn't be the problem. [07:01] thanks Flannel [07:01] christmas11: have you tried retyping the connection information? [07:01] Doyle: you live in a much more interesting universe than me, where drivers wander off, and deep freezes interfere with wireless.. [07:01] Loshki: I did dell support once upon a time... these things do happen to the average user [07:01] Doyle: under Network controller (wireless LAN controller) it does have a driver (driver=b43-pcibridge latency=32) but not under *-network wireless interface [07:02] christmas11: AH, ok, I read your first report of controllers too quickly and only saw one wireless one. [07:04] christmas11: not sure if this one'll work, but you can try running 'sudo dhclient' from the terminal. I've never used it under ubuntu. [07:04] cant get pidgin to connect to yahoo..need help [07:04] christmas11: it forces the adapters to query for an address server and lease. [07:04] cant connect to internet using mobile broadbad [07:05] Hi all, I have a question I've been unable to Google: let's say I had an executable at /usr/local/bin/foo, but recently installed the foo package so there's now an executable at /usr/bin/foo. I rm'ed /usr/local/bin/foo, but if I just type "foo" (not the absolute path), bash seems to still think I mean /usr/local/bin/foo, and tells me "not found." How do I get it to forget about /usr/local/bin/foo? [07:05] anyone got yim server list? [07:05] DjDark: I'm not a pidgin user myself, but have you read the faq at http://d.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQ ? [07:05] Connect Windows Network Printer on Ubuntu [07:05] hey guys..what's the smallest zip program.... [07:05] I need to make a 2 gig file smallllll. [07:06] Connect Windows Network Printer on Ubuntu [07:06] phildarnowsky: what happens when you type 'which foo' ? [07:06] christmas11: Ideally it should return a bunch of information stating the various objects as listening, or some other information. If you get unknown hardware for any of em there'll be a problem. [07:06] loshki: I get "/usr/local/bin/foo" [07:06] loshki: i.e. the old, incorrect answer [07:06] mikolynx: what type of file? 2gb's of /dev/zero's by any chance? [07:07] phildarnowsky: what about if you restart bash i.e. open a new terminal. Same result? [07:07] loshki: yep. also if I log out, also if I reboot [07:07] cant connect to internet using mobile broadbad option in network manager [07:07] loshki: I feel like a Windows user. :( [07:07] it's a windows 7 install...I dl'd for a friend...I have to load it onto a usb drive.. [07:07] yessir loshki. and the thing worked fine earlier. up until about an hour ago [07:07] I need to find a zip prog that will make it small. [07:07] configure ZTE USB modem on ubuntu [07:07] phildarnowsky: :-). And what does ls -l /usr/local/bin/foo say? [07:08] Doyle: nothing saying unknown hardware, sorry [07:08] yahoo wont even connect through wine [07:09] Doyle: it goes through about 15 instances of DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0/eth0 etc, then says no DHCPOFFERS received [07:09] Hi Doyle [07:09] cna I get 7zip for ubuntu? [07:09] christmas11: ok, the hardware's working fine then [07:09] DjDark: well, like I say, I'm not a user. Try #pidgin maybe? [07:09] Doyle: excellent === taka is now known as Guest90661 [07:09] loshki: well, well, well. it was there, but I could've sworn I rm'ed it. [07:09] christmas11: gotta be something, a configuration, or a gremlin [07:10] arunkumar413: hi there [07:10] back [07:10] Doyle: Gremlin? [07:10] phildarnowsky: at least you had the guts to admit it, instead of just dropping off :-) [07:10] loshki: maybe I should give up on the computing for the night and get some sleep. :) [07:10] i loaded synaptics package manager but could not find wicd [07:10] Doyle: help me to tweak my network manager [07:10] loshki: I've been doing this for long enough that I have nothing left to prove. :) [07:10] loshki: thanks! [07:10] really? i was certain it's in the repos [07:10] phildarnowsky: glad to help... [07:11] idk even know what in the repos means lol [07:11] rfe [07:11] christmas11: just to confirm you've already tripple checked your ssid, pass and auth types? [07:11] !manual | JHAY maybe you should read this first then [07:11] *repositories are what the synaptic looks in [07:11] JHAY maybe you should read this first then: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [07:11] arunkumar413: what kind of tweak? [07:11] thanks ubotto but to surf the web i have to have internet [07:11] Doyle: 5, 6 and 7 times. It was working about 3 hours ago and now nothing [07:11] is p7zip a command line thing? [07:12] and when i plug my ehternet cord in nothing happens [07:12] I don't see a gui fo rit. [07:12] Doyle:i'm unable to connect to internet using my huawei EC325 CDMA 1x modem [07:12] wicd shows up in my synaptic, so i'm a bit puzzled [07:12] JHAY: what's on the *other* end of the ethernet cable? [07:12] i have 10.04 netbook [07:12] arunkumar413: AH, best to talk to your service provider then [07:12] and on the other end i tried [07:12] a) router [07:12] Doyle :it works on 9.04 [07:13] Doyle: it troubling me on 10.4 [07:13] JHAY: does the router have a blinky light so you can see if packets are coming in/going out of the connection? [07:13] b) directly plugged into cable modem. both times it acted as if it were connecting...then stopped and said "no internet connection" [07:13] christmas11: You may have a jammed session on the router, (reaching) have you power cycled the router by removing the power adapter for 10 seconds? [07:14] Nope, but I'll give it a try. This'll disconnect me [07:14] LOSHKI: it has that light but it stays solid [07:14] christmas11: ok, I'll be here when you get back [07:14] JHAY: solid? That's not right. Bad cable? [07:14] Doyle:its detected my modem, but when i click to connect it shows "network disconnected-youu are offline now" [07:15] nope.. cable works fine it is plugged into xbox or pc [07:15] is there a separate channel for network manager issues [07:15] you could always try the unplug modem/re-plug [07:15] seen that solve problems in windows many times [07:15] solid light simply means router detects cable plugged in on both ends [07:15] Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Is Like The Best Shit I Have Seen Around In A While Now :) [07:15] linksys routers only blink with activity and LITTLEBONES: i tried :( [07:16] JHAY: got any other connections to the router? Are they on solid too? Mine all blink like crazy... [07:16] is there a way to put a monitor to sleep from the command line? [07:16] yeah [07:16] other connections are fine...the blink like crazy [07:17] arooni-mobile___: yes.. I remember playing around with that some time ago.. there's a command.. let me see if I can find it again [07:17] so this is what im thinking a) i have to have the driver installed or ubuntu would have no idea i plugged in...b)its not a router problem because i plugged into both the router and the modem driectly [07:17] Slart, thanks! [07:18] JHAY: ok, open a terminal and type 'ifconfig -a'. Is there an eth0 entry? [07:19] LOSHKI: yes, there is [07:19] arunkumar413: All I've got for you is this addy, hopefully something here will help. I've never used that type of modem before. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei/E220 [07:19] Doyle: No luck [07:20] christmas11: You're the admin for this router? [07:20] arooni-mobile___: try running this from a command line.. sleep 1; xset dpms force off [07:20] JHAY: does it have an inet addr? Does it say: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST. What about the errors: count? [07:20] Yes [07:20] arooni-mobile___: more info here http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html [07:21] LOSHKI: no inet address...yes on UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST...no errors [07:21] christmas11: Make the ssid visable, then connect directly. If it works, you can hide it again after. [07:21] Since Chrome is nice, but a bit slow, so I decided to make hacks to make it faster. (Firefox doesn't suite my needs, and Browsing speed is faster in Chrome). So, I read that if we disable the Malware and Phishing Protection in Chrome, it will consume less RAM. As we are in Ubuntu, there is no problem related to Virus, :) So, no worries about Malwares. But Phishing can be still a problem. So, is disabling Malware and Phishing Protection insecure in Ubuntu [07:21] I seem to remember using Huawei E220 on ubuntu 9.10. Dont think I had to do any config at all outside of networkmanager [07:21] christmas11: by connect directly I mean point and click on it from the wireless list. [07:21] JHAY: that's a good sign. What IP address *should* it have? [07:21] 192.168.2.xxx [07:22] Ohh nice JHAY [07:22] Slart, how do i turn it back on? [07:22] arooni-mobile___: just moving the mouse should work [07:22] JHAY: ok, pick a 192.168.2.XXX address that you know isn't being used by anyone else. Tell me what you've picked. [07:23] arooni-mobile___: at least it did for me [07:23] 192.168.2.108 [07:23] Slart, ok i'm gonna try now ;p [07:24] shell scripting someone to help me?? [07:24] anyone know foxyproxy? just poped up on my screen...i thought i was safe from popups :)) [07:24] lol [07:24] ubuntu_: just ask your question === Jonathan__ is now known as KyubyLingus [07:24] Slart, i see: "xset: unable to open display " after tryint to run that [07:24] JHAY: ok, type: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.108 up [07:24] !root [07:24] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:24] arooni-mobile___: you're not running X ? you're on a server? [07:25] i try to make a script and i need someone to help me to edit my code [07:25] Slart, no i'm running ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on that box [07:25] LOSHKI:done [07:25] ubuntu_: You can post the code in Pastebin or Codepad, and the people here will view the code and will try to help you. [07:26] JHAY: Do 'ifconfig -a' again. Is the ip address there now? [07:26] arooni-mobile___: hmm.. well.. on that webpage they warned that not all setups reacted to this.. not really sure if it's configurable or not [07:26] LOSHKI: yes [07:26] Slart, ah ok; sad. that would make my life easier [07:26] JHAY: what is the ip address of the router? [07:26] my code is here i try to make hangman game my problem is when calculate lifes [07:26] arooni-mobile___: nothing happened at all? not even a little blink? [07:26] http://pastebin.com/0j3MjNyN [07:27] I clean-installed 10.04 recently, and now I have no sound control icon in the panel, and I can't seem to find it anywhere. [07:27] 192.168.2.1 [07:27] if someone make a reply to this link and solve this problem [07:27] JHAY: ok, try to ping it. ping 192.168.2.1 [07:27] Slart, my computer laughed at me. and did nothing [07:27] I have to get to sound properties through the system menu, or else use keyboard shortcuts to change the volume. [07:27] LOSHKI: destination host unreachable [07:27] arooni-mobile___: oh.. you've got one of those systems =) [07:27] TheMusicGuy, I am having the same issue, but mine just disappeared about a minute ago. [07:28] howdy folks [07:28] It doesn't show up in guest logins either... [07:28] however, sound still works just fine. [07:29] JHAY: type 'route'. I bet the routing table is empty... [07:29] TheMusicGuy: right click on panel, choose add to panel, choose indicator applet, click add, your done [07:29] i hate to be a pop-in question asker. but i'm kinda stressing. wonder if i can get a bit of assistance from someone. [07:29] ubuntu_: what is the problem..? [07:29] arooni-mobile___: you can try another variant of the same command.. xset dpms force standby [07:29] LOSHKI: how on earth do i get it to stop pinging [07:29] JHAY: ctrl-C [07:29] JHAY: Ctrl-C [07:29] nope: ...I don't get it. What's going on here?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:00] I need a way to install a new web browser WITHOUT going into Firefox [08:00] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and I would like to disable the 'splashscreen', I have to see boot messages [08:00] Allanea: apt-get? [08:00] Why is linux said to be so secure from viruses without antivirus? [08:00] theadmin: I know what apt-get is [08:01] crocket: Because there are only 3-5 viruses for Linux in existance :P [08:01] but I've been using Linux for all of 3 days [08:01] Allanea: Oh, I see. Which browser do you want? [08:01] crocket, viruses are developped for windows. A windows viruses (99.9% of the viruses) won't work on linux. [08:01] theadmin: something that eats less RAM [08:01] Allanea: Hm... Google Chrome should cut it [08:01] because bvasically going into Firefox just makes the system hang up [08:01] theadmin : If I get infected with one of those without antivirus, wouldn't it be dangerous? [08:01] what about Konqui? I know nothing about any of these [08:01] but anything would work [08:01] crocket: Welp, they all are already patched against right in kernel [08:01] Allanea: I use Chromium (is Chrome for linux) in Ubuntu.

[08:02] well_laid_lawn, I known it, but it is not thing I decide to ask [08:02] theadmin : do you mean the low market share of linux made it possible to be virus-free? [08:02] exactly, crocket [08:02] It's sad [08:02] you understand, jabato [08:02] i can't hear any sound in my ubuntu 9.04, song is playing but no sound, what to do? [08:03] tiger2wander: you were a bit vague with that quest - care to rephrase it? [08:03] for me Terminal is a black and white wastleand with a cursor [08:03] Allanea: Sorry, Google Chrome seems to require a browser to install it :/ Can't get a direct link... okay... Chromium should do though [08:03] yes well I don't HAVE a working Browser [08:03] that's exactly my problem, sorry :( [08:03] hi [08:03] i need help [08:04] Allanea: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [08:04] Allanea: Run that in terminal [08:04] well_laid_lawn, an OS like MID will be good for laptop in Multimedia or Web browsing mode, so u will not need to boot full your OS when u only need to use web browser,im, email...

[08:51] theadmin: it is weird looking :] [08:51] theadmin: Do you know if it will be supported later on? [08:52] Slart, theadmin, tntc: So in a guide I'm safe putting.... hd* (letter for IDE drive), sr* (number for USB drive) or scd* (number for SATA drive) [08:52] theadmin: And on Vista/7, you mena only OS or FAT/NTFS? [08:52] Lantizia: all disks are seen as sata now [08:52] (or scsi to be exact) [08:52] theadmin: Then I wonder, is it possible to encrypt a external drive? [08:52] ikonia, even IDE ones? [08:52] Lantizia: yes [08:52] ikonia, even IDE hard disks? [08:52] oxymoron: I mean that you can only encrypt partitions/drives without losing info on Vista/7 [08:53] oxymoron: Why yes, I have a encrypted external HD [08:53] Lantizia: not sure about the hd* thing anymore.. they did something to that sub system a couple of years ago [08:53] <_wasabi> hello [08:53] theadmin: So it would be possible create Truecrypt partitions in Vista/7 and then go back to ubuntu and mount them? [08:53] theadmin: Alright, and then should you use key files or just password? [08:54] oxymoron: Yes, that'd be about right, but they by no chance can be ext2/3/4... and I preffer using just password [08:54] theadmin: Seems scary using keyfiles if you loose them :D [08:54] <_wasabi> i'm having a problem connecting to aim from empathy and pidgin. with empathy i get a "error - no network connection" and with pidgin it says it can't connect to the oscar server [08:54] <_wasabi> i think this has something to do with a proxy settings [08:54] <_wasabi> since gtalk works fine on both [08:54] <_wasabi> has anyone else experienced this?

[08:55] theadmin: I mean save both keyfiles and pass. [08:55] how to install login window preference [08:55] oxymoron: uhm... I dunno. You can burn a disc with keyfiles and a text file containing the password for sure [08:56] oxymoron: you'd burn a cd for less than a megabyte in data? [08:56] theadmin: Alright, seems that is the most secure way. I think I try on my external 1 TB drive then, want to know how good Truecrypt is even that I dont really need it. [08:56] oxymoron: By the way, when you format a device with truecrypt it might be a good idea to use "No filesystem" and then when mounting do "DO NOT MOUNT", and then format /dev/mapper/truecryptX to filesystem you want manually using mkfs [08:56] Docteh: I was thinking of providing a LOT of keyfiles and fill a cd [08:56] hey guys [08:57] HELP [08:57] vikas_: ask a question [08:57] !repeat | vikas_ [08:57] vikas_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[09:00] vikas_: you mean change the type of session at login? [09:00] How do I get the internet to connect with autologin? [09:00] yes hello [09:00] hello friends [09:00] pynchon, hi [09:00] theadmin: Well, it seems unlogic on a external drive anyway, NTFS is the most compatible one on both Linux and Windows [09:00] brutal kline [09:00] !hi | pynchon [09:00] pynchon: Hi!

[09:00] phlak_user, i wanna change login box [09:00] vikas_: see my earlier reply [09:00] oxymoron: That is also true. Altough Linux truecrypt does not format to NTFS either, so you'll have to mess the same way [09:01] Gabriel: dpkg --get-selections > /home/user/package-list.txt === Gryllida is now known as winXPuser [09:01] Gabriel: though you could create a backup of /var/apt/cache I dont know if that would help on a fresh installation [09:01] theadmin: Bah, to bad.

[09:01] phlak_user, i have ubuntu trick but it cant change login box just bk screen [09:01] chromium is giving me [09:01] Gabriel: that will create a list, which you can then feed to the system after the reinstall. So you will reinstall all packages you had [09:01] theadmin: I thought Truecrypt was the ultimate choice already, but I guess not :( [09:02] oxymoron: Oh it is!

To feed it back to the system you use dpkg --set-selections [09:03] so i guess it is flash's fault that firefox and chrome crash [09:03] theadmin: It is, but not able to encrypt Linux ext drives without data loss, that sucks. [09:03] any help at all [09:03] im tired of this :p [09:03] can grub2 change fonts? like monaco or something else [09:03] phlak_user: it's not japanese [09:04] Night_Elf`food, I get : bash: /home/user/package-list.txt: No such file or directory [09:04] i just upgraded my 9.10 to 10.04 and when i boot up now grub says "starting up" and then the screen goes blank and the monitor says "frequency out of range" [09:04] Gabriel: you do: dpkg --set-selections < /home/user/package-list.txt [09:04] any ideas? [09:04] Gabriel: well, that .txt file is the one created with --get-selections [09:04] EthanZ6174: you may want to check grub wiki and try to generate your own fonts [09:05] theadmin: ? [09:05] oxymoron: Hm? [09:05] im sorry to pry and whine [09:05] Gabriel: and, you have to be root to do all these. Or, add "sudo" in front of those commands above, if you invoke them as a normal user [09:05] Night_Elf`food, ok [09:05] "[10:02] theadmin: Btw, what do you htink if police take your harddrives and you say ONE of your pass and they only see hidden ones, will they be tricked? :D" [09:05] but can anyone help [09:05] happyaron, hihi, meet you here is kinda mixed feeling...

[09:19] but it still saying "7 packages can be updated" [09:19] IsUp: apt-get dist-upgrade - try [09:20] oxymoron: if you have ram errors - you have bad ram, you need to buy new ram [09:20] oh, its going to install kernel headers [09:20] i am scared [09:20] IsUp: It won't remove old ones [09:20] hey [09:20] IsUp: So if you want, you can always boot in old kernel [09:20] ikonia: Hmm :/ I guess I send them in later on then, not sure how you do it though, if you go to the vendor or Corsair itself. [09:21] is there a way to do an alternate install from a flash drive? [09:21] oxymoron: go to Corsair [09:21] hi, is there a place where I can find gcc3 for 10.04? It doesn't seem to be on the official feed and I have a program that refuses to be compiled with gcc4 [09:21] unetbootin seems to work just fine for the ubuntu livecd [09:21] oxymoron: if its a lifetime warranty, corsair will fix it [09:21] but when I use unetbootin on the alternate cd, the installer doesn't work properly because it looks for a cd [09:21] CaptainTrek: Then I have to pay for the freaking shipping and all, right? :S [09:21] oxymoron: AFAIK, contact Corsair support first to figure it out [09:21] i am using a FXO telephony card which using my kernel headers [09:21] * CaptainTrek goes to get pain meds [09:22] i dont know so much but [09:22] does it affects any software? [09:22] i am running a PBX [09:22] IsUp: Usually it does not... kernel updates break VirtualBox quite often though [09:22] CaptainTrek: But I am thinking of MAYBE buy new MB, CPU and RAM, but rather not if I dont need to because I have already throw away a lot of money lately on my freaking computer I dont want to sit on anyway [09:22] eFfeM_work: you can download it here: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/ [09:22] oxymoron, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:23] My QMMP won't open. I used it perfectly well yesterday, and after about 8 hours of playing music, jACK stalled, so I had to reset the bus and start it again. Since then, QMMP doesn't start. [09:23] eFfeM_work: whoops... that's not actually the download site, but it does link to the download sites. ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/old-releases/gcc-3/ [09:23] bazhang: Alright, but I dont know when discussion goes support and when OT. Last time they said on off topic that I should go here :D [09:23] alexbobP: I know, but that would require me to rebuild the compiler. was hoping that there is a binary somewhere [09:24] theadmin: updating to new kernel [09:24] I'd give an error log, but I didn't get such a report, the window just doesn't open. [09:24] eFfeM_work: oh, I dunno then. I'm in the habit of building whenever something's not in the repos. [09:24] Hi! After upgrading to lucid, I've been experiencing weird problems of system slowing down after some use time. ActionParsip asked me to look at dmesg after the slowdown happens, but I see nothing of significance there. Can anyone help me troubleshoot the issue further? [09:24] alexbobP: Well of course :D No other way, either packages or build it [09:24] theadmin: well some software is provided as binaries [09:25] theadmin: in which case you wouldn't have to build it [09:25] I have 2 servers, on same network. How can i "mount" a directory from A box to B box [09:25] gcc doesn't seem to have binaries for download though [09:25] alexbobP: Oh... hm. DIdn't see this in quite a while [09:25] wow that gconftool is brilliant and fast... === \z is now known as ersoy [09:25] IsUp: my favorite way is sshfs [09:25] IsUp: on box A, do "sshfs boxb:/directory /destination" [09:25] alexbobP: i am using it too but is there any other solution? === ersoy is now known as hersoy [09:25] Ileden: did you check top in terminal to what was using system resources? [09:25] As my problem seems like a memory leak, I've tried to hunt it down, but I see no process taking up unusual amounts of memory. [09:25] yes, sshfs root@host:/dir /dest [09:26] IsUp: there's NFS, which is probably harder to configure [09:26] IsUp: NFS is another option [09:26] IsUp: samba is also available [09:26] well_laid_lawn: my "top" skills are a bit limited. what should I take into account there? [09:26] ah [09:26] okay, sshfs is simple :D [09:26] Ileden: top has a column for mem usage [09:26] IsUp: as I said, sshfs is my favorite way ;) [09:27] thank you [09:27] Hm, Firefox just won't start. Starting it, it appears and poof - it's gone! And killall firefox gives "firefox - no process found" [09:27] IsUp: if it's the password prompt that's bugging you, you might set up ssh keys [09:27] theadmin: starting it from a terminal will throw up the error [09:27] re [09:27] theadmin, it's firefox-bin usually [09:27] theadmin: it is killall -v firefox-bin [09:27] well_laid_lawn: Uh, firefox always worked before [09:28] Never mind, it started when I did it from terminal o_o [09:28] alexbobP: yes, i did it. i am already using sshfs as i said, thank you. [09:28] theadmin: never worked here since warty [09:28] well_laid_lawn: which column is relevant? VIRT RES SHR %MEM (they all have to do with memory, right?) [09:28] theadmin, you will see the error if it crashes. [09:28] well_laid_lawn: Are you using the Ubuntu firefox release or from their PPA/site? [09:28] Ileden: the mem one [09:28] Does anybody know how to do an encrypted install of ubuntu from a flash drive? [09:28] theadmin: from ubuntu [09:29] well_laid_lawn: :/ Works here I tell ya [09:29] I need the alternate cd to do an encrypted install (if I'm not mistaken), and the alternate cd doesn't work with unetbootin [09:29] theadmin: you mean worked? :] [09:29] phlak_user, I did some test with plymouth and upstart: I create a perso.conf file in /etc/init with this inside: http://pastebin.com/fP8nZGn1 - But nothing is shown during the boot [09:29] Upstart and plymouth are both very bad documented :/ [09:29] well_laid_lawn: It does work: "killall firefox" just works now. The weird not starting is solved thanks, now the command works as before [09:29] theadmin: use the -v option with killall firefox [09:30] well_laid_lawn: nothing too weird there as far as I understand. thunderbird-bin 4.6, soffice-bin 4.1, prism-bin 2.3 are the largest. [09:30] i can't access the itunes share on my lan from Rhythmbox but they are accessible from itunes. Any idea?? [09:30] well_laid_lawn: -v? [09:30] it's so hard to get support in here, if the 3 people who see your question before it scrolls off the screen don't know :( [09:30] sr_rules: itunes is a proriptary tool [09:30] theadmin: for verbose [09:30] well_laid_lawn: ...how can kill/killall/pkill be verbose :/ [09:30] how we access mdb file in ubuntu [09:30] sr_rules: are you sure there aren't any firewalls in the way? [09:30] theadmin: man killall [09:30] please help eme out [09:30] sr_rules: are you on the same subnet as the itunes share? [09:31] /last vyom [09:31] no i doesn't have any firewall installed [09:31] ya ikonia [09:31] vyom: I'm not sure if linux has a tool that can read microsoft access files [09:31] yes [09:31] well_laid_lawn: and the slowdown persists even when closing the top applications. [09:31] vyom: There is some "MDB viewer" in Ubuntu Software Center === taka is now known as Guest19532 [09:31] Merwin: like i said before, I dont know anything about customizing plymouth; sorry [09:31] okay :/ [09:32] alexbobp : I can access those shares from itunes when i am using windows [09:32] Does somebody could help me with plymouth and upstart? [09:32] ya its is mdb-tools gmdb [09:32] it is [09:32] sr_rules: ah, so it's from the same computer [09:32] sr_rules: I dunno then... must be a bug in rhythmbox if it's supposed to be able to access itunes shares [09:32] sr_rules: maybe try another media player like amarok? [09:32] vyom: if you know the tools, why are you asking how to access ? [09:32] Ileden: next check is in terminal type free -m and look at the buffers/cache line - is all the mem used? [09:32] commands to access the tols [09:33] I tried to run Visual Studio 2010 under Wine and it didn't work all proper like. Is it possible to get my money back for ubuntu? [09:33] actually i am new to linux [09:33] void_pointer: sure, here ya go [09:33] * alexbobP gives void_pointer his money back [09:33] void_pointer: don't be silly - you know it's fre [09:33] free [09:33] lol void_pointer ? [09:33] ikonia: too late, I just gave him all of it [09:33] anyone here have issues playing DVDs in totem === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:34] jibadeeha: this is just my opinion, so ymmv... but totem sucks. use vlc ;) [09:34] help me [09:34] never had issues playing dvds with vlc [09:34] vyom: I'll help you if you help me! [09:34] well_laid_lawn: I'm not sure how to interpret that, but the first line is "total 2013, used 1507, free 505, shared 0, buffers 662, cached 467" [09:34] alexbobP, have you completely removed totem from ubuntu? [09:34] ikonia free as in beer? [09:34] void_pointer: Free as in freedom. [09:34] vyom: read the man pages for mdb-tools [09:34] vyom: stop messing around [09:34] jibadeeha: I have uninstalled it just so firefox wouldn't run it by default [09:34] vyom: if you asked your question on one line it might help [09:34] vyom: sorry - not you [09:34] om [09:34] ok [09:34] void_pointer: stop messing around [09:34] void_pointer: but if you so like, as in beer too [09:34] i will [09:34] hmm I'll ask Stallman [09:34] jibadeeha: even when I use kde, firefox uses gnome's default file associations... very annoying [09:35] aleksil, i use chrome so i wonder if it would use vlc plugin if any [09:35] hey another problem m having.. its tomcat now.. [09:35] hello [09:35] i installed tomcat using steps on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=226828 [09:35] Ileden: the next line has buffers/cache near the start - under the "free' column is there much left [09:35] Im gonna be upgrading to windows 7 and i was wondering has anyone tried out ubuntu 10.04 Wubi orLinux mint 9 Mint4Win? do they work fine with windows 7? [09:35] void_pointer: moar trollan? [09:35] aleksil, i agree that totem sucks though ... will give vlc a go [09:35] alexbobP: stop trying to start him [09:35] hi, I have a question, do you know If I can clasify the differents kinds of spam (phising, malware, scam,...). I don't just want to get the spam mail I want to clasify them [09:35] and its not working.. the startup command works [09:35] I'm making a research about spam and I want to install spamassasin but I think it can't do that exactly [09:35] but i cant access the localhost [09:36] well_laid_lawn: "-/+ buffers/cache: used 377, free 1636" === sick0 is now known as Guest48102 [09:36] ikonia I found him. He asked why I was using ubuntu when they kept breaking the rules of free software. I told him I couldn't ask because I'd get kicked and have to hang out in #debian again [09:36] Illuminatus: classifying malware spam is easy... find ones with executable code [09:36] Illuminatus: phishing vs scam? i dunno, those sound like the same [09:36] well_laid_lawn: swap is total 5836, used 0, free 5836 [09:36] Ileden: it has 1636mB of memory free - so it is not a memory used up issue then [09:37] Breaking rules of free software... what a troll... it's full GPL... :/ [09:37] alexbobP: I mean, I want to classify the differents kind of spam (junk spam for example, phising, virus) [09:37] but I want something to clasify automaticly [09:37] well_laid_lawn: Ok. What else could cause a slowdown after some usage time? [09:37] hey another problem m having.. its tomcat now.. [09:38] i installed tomcat using steps on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=226828 [09:38] Illuminatus: clamav [09:38] but i cant access the localhost [09:38] the startup command works [09:38] alexbobP: postfix+ clamav + spamassasing ? [09:38] Illuminatus: sure. [09:38] Ileden: in terminal run top again and look at the third line from the top that starts with Cpu - there is a value for %id near the middle of that line - how much? [09:39] okay, nobody here knows about the alternate installer I guess [09:39] everyone: Im gonna be upgrading to windows 7 and i was wondering has anyone tried out ubuntu 10.04 Wubi orLinux mint 9 Mint4Win? do they work fine with windows 7? [09:39] bye bye [09:39] alexbobP: but spamassasin just clasify spam or normal mail [09:39] lindsaymobil22: Uhm. We don't support Windows, but as for WUBI - it works [09:39] lindsaymobil22: I haven't actually tried wubi with win7, but I'm pretty sure it still works, I'd try it [09:39] but I want to have differents folders and sort each kind of spam in those folders [09:39] well_laid_lawn: %id is jumping around 90 [09:40] alexbobP: its just becos im using wubi 9.04 and vista sp2 and im gonna upgrade and im not sure about wubi 10.04 or linux mint 9 mint4win [09:41] people on the forums complain 9.10 messed up the 7 bootloader [09:41] Ileden: that means you are using around 10% of the cpu - so that is not the issue [09:42] well_laid_lawn: this could be some sort of display adapter issue (as what I see getting jerky is window management stuff, and mouse responsiveness) but none of the fixes I've tried (swithging between "radeon" and "ati" in xorg.conf, using a PPA fix provided for the bug #444139) haven't helped. [09:42] Ileden: do you have a xorg.conf file? === Andorin is now known as AK|zzz [09:43] well_laid_lawn: yes. thouhg I haven't modified it myself, other than switching the radeon/ati driver [09:43] has anyone tried the new mint4win? im not sure about it because of what happened with mint 8 and the grub2 error [09:43] ive been to the forums, nothing there [09:43] !mint | lindsaymobil22 [09:43] lindsaymobil22: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[09:45] well_laid_lawn: lspci says " ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01)" [09:45] basicly, you need a router or switch, dhcp server [09:46] well_laid_lawn: (which is correct) [09:46] Ileden: tried commenting the line Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" ? - a comment is a # at the start of the line [09:47] well_laid_lawn: need to restart after that, I assume? [09:47] i think my linux server to connect to router but i am confuse in clients means i can connect my clients to router or switch [09:47] ikonia, IsUp i think my linux server to connect to router but i am confuse in clients means i can connect my clients to router or switch [09:47] hsetiM: clients need to be on the same nework as your server, it doesn't matter how [09:47] Ileden: or just restart gdm - sudo service gdm restart [09:48] well_laid_lawn: problem is, at least full system restart makes the problem go away for some time, so further troubleshooting will have to wait an hour or so :) [09:48] Quit: [09:49] ikonia, i have a 1 linux server n 15 win7 clients n now i want to setup them i know all dhcp nat samba but iam confuse in h/w means where router is required oor whrere switch is required [09:49] hsetiM: then you need to get someone who understands your network to help you [09:49] hsetiM: that is not an ubuntu issue, so nothing to do with this channel [09:49] well_laid_lawn: then again, if it could fix the issue, it's well worth trying.

[09:56] hi [09:56] depends on your phone, research if your phone supports mass-storage mode [09:57] xnixan, if you are comfortable with creating python shell scripts then you could simply create a nautilus script to convert it [09:57] airtonix, thanks, i will check it :) [09:57] xnixan, first thing i check is apt-cache search openoffice | grep python [09:58] ikonia: i am using a htc snap [09:58] ikonia: i done research didn't show much online [09:58] well_laid_lawn, thanks [09:58] Hello, can anyone message me and helpe me compile some source code with cMake please?

[10:21] MrChris: if you are talking about YOUR webserver, a site running on your machine, you have to configure apache. Or are you talking about surfing the internet to a PHP site? [10:22] <_nobody_> mustafa_: and? [10:22] well_laid_lawn: i want to restart X, but sbackup got started by a process in X :-( [10:22] well_laid_lawn: i just want it to go on running... [10:22] rabby: add a space then a & to the end of it [10:23] well_laid_lawn: it's started by a gnome app... [10:23] well_laid_lawn: not by me in console [10:23] rabby: hard to say then - what app starts it? [10:24] just x? [10:24] simple-backup-config (in X/gnome) -> starts sbackup (console) [10:25] rabby: from the name name it might be a shell script - you might find an option in there if it is - the best i can offer sorry - someone else might have a clue [10:28] I lost an openoffice file today. Its corrupted, nothing in there. I need to get it back!! [10:28] Howdy all. I'm running lucid in a virtual machine, but my desired screen resolution does not take effect until I actually log in. Both the boot sequence and the gnome-session login screen are stuck at 640x480, and apparently, using the vga= parameter to the kernel (via grub) is both deprecated and ineffective. [10:28] I had a look at ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup/ but its empty. [10:29] I think I have to grep through my ext4 file system. Is there any chance that I can get my file back? [10:29] SauLus: why you say it is corrupted? Or was that the message at startup? [10:30] CuriosTiger, the boot sequence is normal if you did not load and select a proper module, for gdm you should have that option in System/Administration [10:30] oCean_: it was the message at startup [10:30] the recovering results to an empty file [10:31] SauLus: that sounds bad [10:31] aloha. on unr/une Lucid. some applications window just too big and i can't resize it. how to make it fit with small netbook screen? [10:32] SauLus: and you can not find it anywhere? [10:33] Procule: Where in System->Administration? [10:33] Hello, does Ubuntu Gnome Keyring support pam module and why it is not enabled by default. Do you thing it is a security rick having gnome keyring unlocked upon login instead of separate password dialog? [10:33] hi everyone. Any of you knws if exists a tool to verify visually which characters are included in a specified font? [10:33] CuriosTiger, left/top corner, right to "places" [10:34] called "Login screen" [10:34] bradpitt: I'm not a unr user, but have you been here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR ? [10:34] pompa: accesories -> charmap [10:34] Guys, how do i change the default that will be selected in the GRUB screen? [10:35] Procule: I'm in the Login Screen control panel, but I don't see any kind of module selection or screen resolution setting in that control panel. [10:35] Hi any idea how can i play mpeg files? [10:36] Interesting. I seem to have two copies of the Screensaver preference panel [10:36] oCean_: This file has been created yesterday. 10h of work. No backup, no other copy [10:36] zipper: mplayer [10:36] you're right... it changed in lucid [10:36] ohir: by charmap I can see all the utf tables, But I cannot see if a specified font has that characters in its set [10:36] oCean_: I wasnt finished. Wanted to make a backup right now - but the file is corrupted now. F**K! [10:36] CuriosTiger: it can be achieved by ubuntu-tweak now [10:36] phlak_user: are we able to convert mpeg files into mp3? [10:36] right, why is ubuntu refusing to put my wifi card into ad-hoc mode [10:36] Can anyone help me please? [10:36] I have enabled wireless but network manager shows: wireless networks(disconnected) with grey and I can't do anything. Why? [10:36] Hello. Can somebody help me set up a 3G connection via Network Manager? The connection is there, but I can't connect. I suspect in has to to with the fact, that I wasn't asked for my PIN... [10:36] !anyone [10:36] 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? [10:37] alktors: what does iwconfig say [10:37] ubottu: i asked mine first, and was ignored [10:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:37] nicofs: what carrier? [10:37] ohir: for example, I'd like to see if a certain font contains omacron, umacron ecc... [10:37] O2 Germany [10:37] SauLus: however annoying it is, (obfuscated) swearing is not allowed here. But at this point, you cannot find the file at all? [10:37] oCean_, i already check the site. unfortunately no solutions for mi problem. thanks anyway bro. [10:37] b0nn, I am an beginner, I use ubuntu 10.04 amd64 version, were do I type that, in the terminal? [10:37] nicofs: does it show up in Network Manager? [10:37] yes [10:38] nicofs: im assuming you're using a usb dongle [10:38] pompa: you've said 'visually'. What means you select font and look for character that interests you then check its properties (for U code ie). [10:38] integrated device [10:38] Guys, how do i change the GRUB screen's default? [10:38] and with a different SIM card, the device itself worked before... so I guess it's not a driver problem [10:38] nicofs: can you open a terminal and type tail -f /var/log/daemon.log and then try to connect? you can then pastebin the messages that show up in the terminal [10:38] pompa: charmap let you do so [10:38] b0nn, I did it, now I will paste the paste-it... [10:39] b0nn, http://paste-it.net/public/b7d52bb/ [10:39] b0nn, This is what iwconfig shows me in the terminal. [10:39] Green_: edit /etc/default/grub and then run grub2-update [10:39] hmm, ive got php installed, and apache, but i think somethings gone wrong, i goto localhost/ run a file file.php and it tries to open it rather than run it, in ubuntu. Any ideas please? [10:39] phlak_user: will try, thanks [10:39] AdvoWork: did you enable the php module (in apache) ? [10:40] it sais "Stage 1 of 5" (Device Prepare complete) [10:40] over and over again [10:40] ohir: but charmap accesories -> charmap shows me also the characters not included in a specific font. So if i select century schoolbook I can see also the runic characters, which are not included in the font [10:40] AdvoWork: /j #httpd make sure to have apache-mod-php5 installed and run "a2enmod php5" [10:41] my laptop has atis gfx card [10:41] where do I go to tweak antialiasing etc settings? [10:41] like the equivalent of nvidia-settings for nvidia cards [10:41] I never used this sim before and I haven'T been asked for my PIN yet, so I would be extremely surprised if it could connect... [10:41] alktors: at the moment I am thinking ubuntu is rubbish for wifi [10:41] red, heh i was just going to say, nvidia-settings :) [10:41] phlak_user: change the "GUB_DEFAULT"? [10:41] DASPRiD: thats hardly the case for ATI :P [10:41] Is there a desktop application on ubuntu for playing swf files? Similar to the flashplayer app on windows? [10:41] red, ati-settings? :D [10:42] b0nn, Ohh...and isn't it a way to use wifi? and get rid of that grey wireless networks disconnected thing in my network manager? [10:42] conb123, flc? [10:42] Installed libpam-gnome-keyring but it did not update /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin. Is this a security issue enabling pam keyring with gnome autologin? [10:42] b0nn, I really want to use wifi too. [10:42] DASPRiD: I did try that before, na'ah :P [10:42] conb123, *vlc [10:42] oCean_: I dont have the file at two places. The the file I am working at ~/myfile.odt is corrupted. There is no backupt. The openoffice backup directory is empty. file ~/myfile.odt : OpenDocument Text. [10:42] DASPRid: No tried, wouldn't open my swf [10:42] I think I have to grep through the partition [10:42] pompa: ok. You're right. There is by language choice only. [10:42] how was it? sudo grep -A /dev/mydevice? [10:43] conb123, oh, you want a flash player, not a player for flv videos [10:43] DASPRid: Yes, for an swf [10:43] conb123, firefox should do [10:43] not an flc [10:43] SauLus: what you could try is: start oo writer, then Insert > File > myfile.odt [10:43] SauLus: grep -ri pattern /mount/point/* [10:43] *flv [10:43] Hello, is there a way to close gnome-panel and to prevent him to launch again? [10:43] pompa: so either you use OO font choice dialog or google for some font-creation software [10:43] how do i convert mpeg files to mp3? [10:44] DASPRid: Yes I know the browser can do it but I was wondering if there was a desktop application just for playing flash files, like adobe makes for windows, flashplayer [10:44] VLC can play .SWF files iirc?= [10:44] conb123, maybe adobe air? [10:44] have you tried at least [10:44] hi [10:44] red, he has [10:44] any idea how to spped up a touchpad on a laptop [10:44] ohir: and simpler, is there a way to count the number of single character wich are in a font? [10:44] Green_: yes [10:45] it's moving very very dlowly [10:45] Ok one more, how do i get the system boot into command line (not desktop) [10:45] slowly [10:45] ah [10:45] i confused .swf with .flv :p [10:45] sry [10:45] How do I enter my PIN for 3G connections? [10:45] DASPRid: Possibly, thanks [10:45] oCean_: "Due to an unexspected error, openoffice.org crahsed ...." [10:45] Green_: recovery mode; else just press ctl+alt+f1 once you are at gdm login [10:46] ok thanks :D [10:46] Arch_NME, did you try setting speed in menu System/Preferences/Mouse ? [10:46] anyone know how to speed up my touchpad on a laptop? [10:46] pompa: look at ImageMagick suite. IIRC there were ome magics for fonts too [10:46] yeah I turned that up all the way [10:46] still very slow [10:46] oCean_, unsure actually, what line would that be? [10:47] nicofs: there is an option to enter pin when you add a new mobile broadband connection in NetworkManager [10:47] llutz: you are grepint through all files, not the device. I suppose the data being on the hard drive but the pointer to the data has been removed. [10:47] llutz, ive ran a2enmod php5, it ran, and i force reloaded apache, but same problem [10:47] @phlak: no [10:47] nicofs: let me see if i can pastebin the screenshot [10:47] ohir: thanks === rudy_ is now known as Guest97809 [10:47] pompa: and thats all I can help you so far. [10:47] I got acceleration and sensativity maxed out [10:47] SauLus: now, that's nasty. [10:48] it take me 19 sweeps across the pad to get from the top of the screen to the bottom [10:48] phlak_user: recovery mode goes to some recovery screen, i just want it to go strait to command line [10:48] SauLus: you don't want to grep through a device, the only thing you can find are sectors containing your pattern, not the file. [10:49] Arch_NME, sorry can not help much. Look like an issue with the touchpad driver. I added a small laptop mouse long ago because I could not work efficiently with the pad though. [10:49] AdvoWork: so that command was actually to enable the php5 mod. Not working is weird - but as llutz pointed out, apache help in #httpd [10:49] awesome, I rebooted ubuntu (again) and it reverts my /etc/networking/interfaces to an earlier version... what the flying f*** [10:49] hey again, i have googled this, whenever i watch an online video in full screen, it flickers, lags, jumps on ubuntu 9.04, everything works fine on windows [10:50] b0nn: Use NetworkManager? :) [10:50] llutz: you often recover missing files on ext3 filesystems with something like "sudo grep -AbC 20 /dev/yourdrive [10:50] Arch_NME, found this that may help you http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2008/05/22/is-your-touchpad-too-slow-in-ubuntu-fix-it [10:50] lindsaymobil22: make sure your video drivers are up to date. what windows does is moot [10:50] how do i convert mpeg files to mp3? can any1 assist? [10:50] hello [10:50] @phlak: sorry, I'm running out of time... have to go to the canteen in 5 minutes, I'll be back in about 40 minutes.. [10:50] SauLus: that might work with pure text-file, not with zipped-xml (odt is) [10:51] need help in ubuntu [10:51] actionparsnip: i checked in the hardware drivers, its just alternative wireless drivers, intel dont offer drivers for linux graphics drivers for my laptop [10:51] nicofs: ok; ill paste the screenshot and leave the link as a message to you [10:51] thanks [10:51] i dont know to install theme in ubuntu [10:51] lindsaymobil22: then you may need to form an xorg.conf to specify better options [10:51] how do i convert mpeg files to mp3? can any1 assist???????????

My problem is not consern about ubuntu but all the same. How to make partitions on a USB-stick in such way that XP would not be changed [10:54] changeofheart: how old is the computer? [10:54] ?

[10:55] llutz: you normally dont have a backup if you created a file one day ago and did not finish, yet [10:55] whats wrong with using ubuntu, why use LXDE ? or are they something completely dif [10:55] Besogon: and this is a ubuntu support channel [10:55] SauLus: then you should think about your backup-strategy [10:55] Arch_NME: yes, lucid doesn't ship with the file, you can generate one with: sudo Xorg -configure [10:55] SauLus: any luck yet? Thought of one other possibility, that is opening the corrupted file using an other wordprocessor: "sudo apt-get install abiword" and try opening the document using abiword. Just a tip: while searching for solution, why not make a backupcopy op the (corrupted) doc? [10:56] i tried to edit xorg.conf with sudo gedit xorg.conf, it was blank [10:56] I'm using 9.10 [10:56] otay.. how do I get to NetworkManager?

[11:36] ubuntu_linux: try it [11:36] Ileden: bummer - it was just a thing to try [11:36] May it be, that my modem isn't ttyUSB0 but perhaps something like ttyUSB1 and the manager adresses a non-existant device?

If I open something like 10 terminal windows the problem appears - and persists after I've closed them. [11:38] Green_: have you configured a firewall or done something new since then?

[11:42] Ileden: you may have to reinstall the driver package you are using [11:42] red you have to use aptitude for this. Not Synaptic. In aptitude you can fix all package you need in installed version. [11:42] ActionParsnip: yup, you suggested reinstalling the driver pack, and I did. didn't help. [11:42] Ileden: ok just getting up to speed ;) [11:43] ActionParsnip: Also nothing in dmesg looks related.

I've got a "huawei"-modem (which is the correct manufacturer) on (ttyUSB0), (ttyUSB2) and (ttyUSB4) [11:43] Ileden: try the vesa driver - iirc the 9200 isn't supported anymore - read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to check that, it'll be near the top [11:43] ActionParsnip: no problem! don't expect you to remmber every help case here :D === ekke is now known as ekke_ [11:43] phlak_user: redownloaded putty and it seems to work now, thanks [11:43] well_laid_lawn: Somebody previously told me not to open a private window [11:43] Ileden: true [11:43] nicofs: i generally get 7 ttyUSB [11:43] Green_: ah blame it on Mr Gates [11:43] my mistake.. failed to read the last line... [11:43] hahaha [11:43] How do I check if pdo_mysql is installed properly and fully working on ubuntu? [11:44] Ileden: all I can suggest is messing with xorg.conf and/or installing the xorg edgers ppa (possible risk with that) [11:44] I agree, I take a little more to describe [11:44] well_laid_lawn: what do I check from the log? [11:44] it sais modem on /dev/ttyUSB0... so far that's ok [11:44] Anyway [11:44] vishal1: you just need to not use the enter button as punctuation - write the prob on one line pls [11:44] ActionParsnip: what's the risk? [11:44] Once again [11:45] Ileden: when X loads the driver it lists the cards supported - if yours isn't in there it might be the issue [11:45] hi i just installed wine but i can't seem to install windows abled applications do i needa do any configuration?

[12:09] bencc: the default torrent client for Ubuntu is Transmission [12:09] NightlyUser: firefox 3.5.9 "shiretoko" [12:09] MAC: see my pm to you [12:09] Acorn, First thing to do is check it from the command line to make sure its just the browser [12:09] where ? [12:09] Callum__: thx [12:09] bencc: transmission [12:09] pure_hate: how would I do that? [12:10] where ? [12:10] Configure Reliance Netconnect USB ZTE Modem in Ubuntu [12:10] Acorn, curl -u username --silent "https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom" | perl -ne 'print "\t" if //; print "$2\n" if /<(title|name)>(.*)<\/\1>/;' [12:10] pure_hate: wow, okay, thanks [12:10] Configure Dail Up Connection [12:11] hi @ all [12:11] MAC: if you are in xchat, PMs can be seen to your left [12:11] !ppp | MAC [12:11] MAC: You want to connect via dial-up?

PlayOnLinux is a gui for wine and issues some wine line when an app is chosen in gui. I'd really like to know what that line is..

[12:14] Acorn, ok so its your browser. [12:14] enough source to setup my freinds [12:14] minjoo: http://www.khattam.info/2010/03/30/howto-install-gimp-2-7-with-single-window-mode-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx/ [12:14] thanks [12:14] Slartibart: I think you can dig those commands from PlayOnLinux itself without snooping. Not sure though. [12:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen is out of date - anyone know if it's being updated? [12:15] Ileden: Yeah? Any guessings about how? [12:15] pure_hate: it's not working with w3m either [12:15] phlak_user: thanks for helping but that is not. [12:15] summerbug, try to disable them and try [12:15] minjoo: ok sorry [12:15] Isnt there another browser in ubuntu like epiphany or something [12:15] try with that [12:16] Acorn: do you have a firewall that blocks ports 995 etc? [12:16] augustl: out of curiosity, have you tried using kvm instead of xen [12:16] Acorn, ^^ [12:16] NightlyUser: no [12:16] I am convinced it can't be hard to install and run xen :) [12:16] hitting dead ends everywhere though [12:16] Slartibart: not really. :( [12:16] augustl: kvm is supported in the linux kernel by default [12:17] phlak_user, pure_hate: I just have a router. I have no problems accessing google from windows7 on the same computer [12:17] !kvm | augustl [12:17] augustl: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [12:17] I want to use xen, though [12:17] Ileden: Darned.. Thanks, though [12:17] Acorn: i meant on the same computer; have you setup any firewall rules using ufw etc? [12:17] there are packages for it - ubuntu-xen-server - but they don't even install on a plain ubuntu server 10.04 setup [12:17] !xen | augustl [12:17] augustl: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [12:17] makes no sense [12:17] phlak_user: no, it's a fresh install [12:18] phlak_user, pure_hate [12:18] NightlyUser: unfortunately, that wiki page is out of date =/ [12:18] phlak_user, pure_hate: oops, sorry.. is there maybe a way to log what is happening when I try to log into gmail? [12:18] Acorn: are you able to run either wireshark or tcpdump? [12:18] Slartibart: you're welcome. Sorry I don't know how to help more, I found the playonlinux system rather confusing myself :) [12:18] augustl: sorry, i only use virtualbox (i'm rather a novice) [12:18] Acorn, The fire wall wouldnt matter since its a dynamic connection + its web mail. That would only matter if it was a client [12:19] http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-xen-desktop [12:19] phlak_user: should I install one of those programs? [12:19] the xen-tools package is not available [12:19] Acorn: tcpdump should be installed by default but you need to be able to decipher [12:20] I am still getting: "configure: error: APR-util version 1.3.0 or later is required" [12:20] phlak_user: hmm, so what do you think is the best route to take then? :/ [12:20] Acorn, its probably as simple as your browser is not allowing https, your firewall has nothing to do with accessing web mail [12:20] Slartibart: also, as far as I understand, playonlinux may also create a separate installation of wine for each game (for example an older version) to get them to work, so simply adding some options to regular wine command might not do the trick since the game might require an older version of wine to work. This is guesswork, though. [12:21] hi, im having troubles with my laptop's wireless [12:21] !wireless | nemesis [12:21] nemesis: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:21] pure_hate: oh right! that's a really good thought! How would I check the neccessary things are there to use https? [12:22] Night_Elf, i already read that [12:22] Ileden: I think you're right. But I think there has got to be a way to run wine without pol. I just need to know how pol starts wine..

[12:44] liuchong: This is #ubuntu. Perhaps you want #debian? [12:44] liuchong: I believe, you can simply manually set the colour of the Panels to black [12:45] soreau, I added ubuntu source list [12:45] !debian | liuchong [12:45] liuchong: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [12:45] I ran powertop on one of my machines and it suggested I enable USB standby by hitting U ... now my mouse is no longer working ... how do I revert this? [12:45] soreau yes and 1.2.12 [12:45] ... [12:45] zetheroo: reboot might be the easiest way.. I'm not sure if powertop makes it permanent [12:46] MrChris: Ah there is the problem. Which version of ubuntu are you using? [12:46] Slart: ok will try [12:46] 9.04 [12:46] thanks... [12:46] MrChris: Its telling you, your version of apr-utils is too old [12:46] join #ubuntu-de-offtopic [12:48] Slart: rebooting worked :) Thanks [12:48] MrChris: ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 have an updated version of this package [12:48] zetheroo: you're welcome [12:48] ok, how do i upgrade? [12:48] apt-get ubuntu-upgrade? [12:48] MrChris: Upgrade what? your ubuntu? [12:48] apt-get update [12:48] yeah, the install [12:49] ahh ... [12:49] MrChris: I would recommend to install fresh instead of a potentially problematic upgrade [12:49] MrChris: does it not ask you to upgrade when you go to Update Manager? [12:49] reboot may be @v@? [12:49] soreau: i cant do a fresh install - it is a vps [12:49] have to upgrade [12:49] wildbat: referring to the powertop issue? [12:49] zetheroo, ya ;p [12:50] MrChris: But it is possible, you can update this single package by adding 9.10 sources, upgrading the package then removing the sources before your system notices [12:50] wildbat: yes a reboot did the trick [12:50] MrChris: of course this could break it now or later [12:50] hi i'm back ActionParsnip [12:50] :/ [12:50] MrChris: but if you want to upgrade ubuntu, I would use update-manager [12:51] MrChris: like soreau says, in your case it would be much better advised to perform a fresh install ... is there really no way? [12:51] MrChris: what are you trying to build and why, btw? [12:51] again, i cant - only ssh [12:51] got a mind blowing question for anyone that is good with software raid5 [12:52] !anyone | Killa \ [12:52] Killa \: 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? [12:52] MrChris, soreau: why not just download the package from packages.ubuntu.com (wget will do that from a command line) and install it using gdebi .. seems easier than flipping sources back and forth [12:52] i want o host a website on my vps. it uses php files, and i need to install php for that, and for that i need the latest apache and for that i need the latest apr. [12:52] Killa: yes, it's bad for many things and no, it's not as safe as most people think =) === metallic is now known as i-pink [12:52] Slart: Because it has a fair amount of deps so I dont know what all it will want to pull in [12:53] Slart: here it pulled in a dozen or more packages [12:53] MrChris: didnt the php that came with 9.04 work with the apache that came with it? [12:53] soreau: well.. if it starts pulling in lots of dependencies you'll probably end up upgrading your whole machine anyways [12:53] why does it seem the dpkg is so much slower in Lucid than in Karmic? [12:54] Slart: Yea, I would try to just add jaunty repos and see if you could get away without too much trauma [12:54] is every single guide on the wiki outdated? =P https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation is outdated too (as well as the xen article) [12:54] zetheroo: Slower? Do you refer to any specific command like: sudo dpkg -i *.deb ? [12:55] no [12:55] its not on there by default. [12:55] soreau: well, good luck.. I think you're going to need it =) [12:55] Slart: Im not the one with the problem ;) [12:55] hello [12:55] rocket16: well actually it's more in relation to installing software across the board in Lucid ... through cli, Synaptic or otherwise ... in Karmic it was so fast ... [12:55] Here is the problem http://richardm.pastebin.com/ndU1TW19 [12:56] soreau: ah..that's right.. well.. you can have the luck anyways.. no need for a refund =) [12:56] Slart: heh [12:56] i have installed linux after windows and i lost my windows boot [12:56] ! grub2 | mohamed [12:56] mohamed: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [12:57] no the problem is not with GRUB@ [12:57] 2 [12:57] well_laid_lawn: More evidence: The slowdown is replicable with live ubuntu 10.04. [12:57] I am upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 as we speak [12:57] it shows and option to use Ubuntu or Windows [12:58] well_laid_lawn: and it really does seem to be directly associated with display operations. [12:58] but after i choose windows it does not work and takes me back to the list to choose linux [12:58] MrChris: If you are feeling adventurous, you could upgrade all the way to 10.04 while you arae at it [12:58] how do i do that? [12:58] Ileden: does the live cd use the radeon driver too? [12:58] O.o [12:58] MrChris: just reboot after each dist-upgrade upgrade [12:59] well_laid_lawn: yea [12:59] MrChris: If you do so, don't expects for your graphic card to work [12:59] lol [12:59] why is that? [12:59] well_laid_lawn: especially switching between windows, creating new windows, closing windows. the more different layout stuff on the window (e.g. thunderbird with multiple display panes), the slower the operation appears to be. [12:59] how can i reactivate my windows to work [12:59] soreau: ? [12:59] are u seriously asking that? [12:59] yes i am [12:59] well_laid_lawn: how do I find out... there seems to be no xorg.conf [12:59] MrChris: because upgrades are problematic. With going to 10.04, it may install the nvidia driver even if you dont have an nvidia card [12:59] **is first time on ubuntu channel, is this noob central?** [13:00] :o [13:00] well_laid_lawn: The radeon driver is in use by default even in a live session [13:00] hey guys,what are the minimum requirements for ubuntu?

[13:02] fingers crossed :p [13:02] in initial log in screen [13:03] vic20gmr_[lucid]: I have no idea.. perhaps it's talking to something that isn't listening.. so it has to time-out === i-pink_ is now known as i-pink [13:03] Ileden: to try and not get the issue I would try the vesa driver to see if it is the graphics or not === taka is now known as Guest70536 [13:04] aside from a reinstall, any ideas how i might go abput diagnosing and remedying this? [13:04] well_laid_lawn: is it activated by changing "radeon" to "vesa" in xorg.conf? [13:04] Lefantomedurezo: try "service gdm stop" [13:05] Ileden: yep and keep that line we commented well, commented :] [13:05] question: xcfe/lxde installed on ubuntu is the same(except for bundled programs) are the same with xubuntu/lubunty? [13:05] well_laid_lawn: ok. :) [13:05] lolzed: neally... I have ubuntu with kde and I can use both without any problem [13:06] I haven't noticed any difficulty running either gnome or kde apps in xfce/xubuntu [13:06] so that answer is? [13:06] never tried lxde though. xfwm is fast enough for me :) [13:06] lolzed: So the answer is, you should be fine [13:06] hey... how do i check if i have a damager RAM or some other hardware thing? [13:06] i have a seperate question, if i were to use an older ver of ubuntu, wud i get older prop fxglr drivers? [13:06] Hi, I am looking for a way to generate a timeline with scientific work. meaning, I want to be able to filer e.g. on author. It would be nice if when I click on a publication (icon) I can get to the abstract etc. Is there anyone here that knows a package or (online) service for this purpose ? [13:07] its an old laptop [13:07] i tried lubuntu,i get an error,so i was suggested to try ubuntu [13:07] lolzed: old laptop I would say try xubuntu [13:07] * CuriosTiger likes xubuntu even on his new laptop [13:08] xubuntu=/= xcfe ubuntu ? [13:08] Hi, a php script is not running on my ubuntu but works on another person computer so the problem is the drivers that is uses (PDO, PDO_MySQL or MySQL). How do I check if there are any problems with them? [13:08] lolzed: yes [13:08] resources wise [13:08] exactly [13:08] great [13:08] and if you need all the power you can get, try Arch with openbox [13:08] laptop has 239(or so) mb of ram [13:08] i dunno if ubuntu would cut it [13:09] hi all [13:09] how do i convert my wav file to mp3 using shell? [13:09] lolzed: a bit low yes... [13:09] DelphiWorld: maybe lame [13:09] so xubuntu all the way? [13:09] Galerien: you misspelled Gentoo [13:09] lolzed: My friend with [13:09] hey im trying to mount a windows partition that couldnt startup, but it says: fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [13:10] atcho: thank you [13:10] lolzed: Xubuntu looks more like it. GNOME can be tuned down to use less memory, but it is not so easy. [13:10] :S [13:10] lolzed: my friend with arch and openbox uses 70 mo at startup... [13:10] Galerien: yes, but what matters is what happens when you start a few windows and in particular browsers [13:10] i don't want to waste my time,but im not sure if i get xubuntu,i might get an error same with lubuntu [13:11] lolzed: liveCD? [13:11] yes [13:11] hey im trying to mount a windows partition that couldnt startup, but it says: fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy.. how can i solve that?

Upon bootup, I got a notice about entering low graphics mode, with the following errors listed: "(EE) VESA: Kernel modsetting driver in use, refusing to load" "(EE) No devices detected" [13:15] well_laid_lawn: proceeding to attempt replicating the problem... === overload is now known as fuxy [13:15] hi, I've got skype dying...

[13:17] unknown user id ;)) [13:17] Hmm, youtube is causing some problems for me again. When I go to a youtube video, it starts loading, but then firefox (or konquerer) freezes. [13:17] hi [13:17] well_laid_lawn: I gather I'm not using the vesa driver right now, though. That was what the low graphics stuff was about, right? [13:17] try reinstall forefox [13:17] lolzed: that there is no user 0 which is normally root - what is it you're running? [13:18] fuxy: the problem also happens in konquerer, though. [13:18] Ileden: it said vesa in the error [13:18] hence doesn't seem like it'd be firefox's fault. [13:18] for the guy that say lame [13:18] thank you a lot [13:18] well_laid_lawn: yup, but it couldn't load it, or something like that? [13:18] is working!

[13:20] well_laid_lawn: in fact, I kinda prefer this to the jerkiness of the slowdown problem :D (not really a solution, though :) ) [13:20] Ileden: check the X log to see the driver yo're using for it pls [13:21] sorry :( [13:21] Ileden: Parts of an X log are useless without the entire file. Can you please restate what problem you are having? [13:21] Psy-T, try update [13:21] maybe somthing wrong with that. [13:21] How, fuxy? [13:22] sorry..i'm new to ubuntu [13:22] just trying this out [13:22] sudo apt-get update [13:22] so anyone know why it gives the error? [13:22] soreau: The actual problem is that I experience a major slowdown and jerkiness in window operations after opening "enough" windows. The problem persists after closing them I have ATI Radeon 9200 and I've used both the "ati" and "radeon" drivers. [13:22] Ileden, Radeon, there is you problem [13:22] soreau: right now well_laid_lawn asked me to try "vesa" driver, but that booted up with reporting about "low graphics mode" [13:22] Ileden: ati is just a wrapper that selects radeon so its the same driver [13:23] Ileden: most likely not an X issue, but a memory/disk issue. [13:23] Ileden: fglrx the proprietary catalyst driver does not support your card at all [13:23] Walex: I can find any problems with top. Or well, well_laid_lawn didn't see anything wrong with it. [13:23] Ileden: So, are you running compiz when this happens? [13:23] soreau: happens both with or without compiz. [13:23] lolzed: Have you run the "Check CD for defects" test? [13:24] Ileden: How much vram does that card have? [13:24] soreau: how do I tell? [13:24] Ileden: I dont have the command right off hand [13:24] daedaluz: yea... but it worked just fine before upgrading to lucid. [13:25] Ileden: Can you reproduce the problem then check dmesg output to see if there are any interesting messages? [13:25] soreau: I've tried, but nothing there seems relevant for the problem [13:25] soreau: I can reproduce it when I want, so I could do that and pastebin the dmesg. [13:25] How to run files from cdrom? [13:25] Ileden: Another thing you can do is try the old driver without kms by specifying nomodeset as a kernel arg [13:26] Talu: What files? [13:26] how to i list the other channels? [13:26] fuxy: the final message in the terminal was "Reading package lists... Done" after the apt-get update command. What next? [13:26] soreau: There is a setup.exe file i want to run [13:26] soreau: everything was ok before I upgraded to lucid. also, the problem doesn't appear in this "low graphics mode" i'm in right now. [13:26] kenny73: You might want to try #freenode for irc-specific questions === OerHeks is now known as Oer [13:26] soreau: ok, I could try that. How do I do it? [13:27] kenny73: type /list and look in the freenode tab [13:27] lolzed: Have you run the "Check CD for defects" test? <-I'll try that,but could that be the problem? [13:27] Talu: exe files are a ms windoze executable format. You can run them in linux with wine [13:27] soreau: I know that, duh... what i need is to run the setup.exe file as root trough terminal === root is now known as Guest98010 [13:28] Ileden: When you boot, at the grub splash screen, select your kernel then press e to edit, then on the kernel line after where it says ro quiet splash, append nomodeset [13:28] soreau: ok, is that all? [13:28] Talu: You arent making any sense then [13:28] Ileden: yep [13:28] soreau: ok, i'll do that. [13:29] Ileden: ctrl+x to boot after editing then it will be active only for that session to test [13:29] Does anyone know the command line for opening the Cdrom dir? [13:29] Talu: The questions you are asking are vague. A cdrom can be mounted to any directory [13:30] Psy-T, if still not working when you restart your computer. Try search on google. Look in all yours drivers,plugins and ... Maybe you don't have them. [13:30] soreau: I have a dvdrom in this laptop, i want to open the cd i have in it trough terminal... seriously how do i do that. [13:30] Talu: eject? [13:30] This channel sure is useless.... [13:31] Talu: Look at the output of mount and see where its mounted to? [13:31] Talu: you get out what you put in, i suppose. [13:31] Talu, what you want to do? ... [13:31] for some reason flashplayer behaves MUCH better with Kubuntu than Ubuntu on my machine, any clues? [13:31] Talu: you can't run an exe file through the terminal - but do la /media to find the cdrom folder [13:31] Talu: you can't run an exe file through the terminal - but do ls /media to find the cdrom folder [13:31] oops [13:32] well_laid_lawn: Thanks dude, atleast you were helpfull :P === Guest98010 is now known as releigh [13:33] Talu: it is linux - you're free to do as you please with it :] === overmind is now known as overmind_ === overmind_ is now known as overmind [13:34] well_laid_lawn: Of course :P I have a problem though, wine says the setup.exe cant be opened because its not secure or something. [13:34] how can i see all my hardware stuff and check if theres something danified? [13:34] well_laid_lawn: wine blocks it. [13:34] Talu: never used wine - there is the #winehq channel for that [13:34] soreau: well I edited the line and pressed 'b' to boot. ctrl+x didn't do anything at that screen. [13:34] Ileden: Oh [13:35] well_laid_lawn: aha, thanks! [13:35] Ileden: Can you show the output of dmesg|grep modeset ?

[13:39] yes [13:39] i have a lot of picture [13:39] in pdf document [13:39] devi: garphic card drivers [13:39] almost 30 picture [13:39] Then try to reduce the big onces [13:39] Then try to reduce the big onces [13:39] marcel01: and where can i do that? [13:39] marcel01: in the software centre? [13:39] Ileden: Its not too hard, just say steps to reproduce, 1) radeon 9200 2) Lucid 10.04 3) Open x amount of windows and fail. [13:40] how can i see all my hardware stuff and check if theres something danified? [13:40] devi: no, not in the software center. you can do it via apt-get if official drivers are avaliable. -> google [13:40] soreau: where should I report this? at bugs.launchpad.net?

[13:41] Hi -- my Mac Mini 3,1 gets stuck trying to boot kernel 2.6.32-22. I tried generic and preempt flavors; I tried passing `noapic' and `noacpi' (separately and together); I took a picture of the screen when disabling the splash screen. It hangs very early in the kernel. This is vanilla Lucid + post-install update-manager, no proprietary drivers. http://tiyukquellmalz.org/ubuntu_hang.jpg [13:41] devi: apt-get is a packaging system command [13:42] Kennt sich hier jemand mit "traceroute" aus?

[13:42] devi [13:42] hi, i want to upgrade ubuntu on my server to lucid, but want to leave php 5.2 installed, i understand that i need to use pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, but it doesn't seem to affect dist-upgrade.. [13:42] is it possible for a python program to trigger a gnome environment sound? [13:42] sorry^^ [13:43] simplexio: If you even read my post you'd see that I posted a screenshot with that removed. [13:43] soreau: hmm, it seems I can't reproduce the slowdown now that I turned compiz off. [13:43] hello there, how to find chrome cookie file? i am sorry, i'm not good at English, i am Chinese. [13:43] soreau: what did that kernel option do? I should probably include it in the bug report... [13:43] Okay, a reboot got the youtube videos to work for me again, but without audio. [13:43] Ileden: Thats not surprising. Its still a radeon driver bug most likely though [13:43] marcel01: ok... so what should I enter in google.. I tried graphic driver and now how do i choose? nvidia? [13:44] for some reason flashplayer behaves MUCH better with Kubuntu than Ubuntu on my machine, any clues? Perfect performance in Konqueror [13:44] Ileden: The kernel option disables kernel modesetting or kms. This means it will use the old method of the radeon driver, user modesetting [13:44] soreau: also, is it safe to keep there? I can well live without compiz. [13:44] devi: you must find out the name/type of your graphics card first. [13:44] Ileden: Sure, if its working [13:44] mofaph_, do you want to clear it? [13:44] I guess the stuff I wrote might've disappeared because of the ping timeout.

[13:45] A reboot got the youtube videos to work for me again, but without audio. I'm guessing it's trying to output to either ALSA or pulseaudio, but I need it to output to jACK. [13:45] soreau: seems ok. some artefacts when moving windows around, but nothing that would make it tough to use, like before. [13:45] marcel01, no, i want to check it out. [13:45] hey pls help [13:45] :D [13:45] mofaph_, ok, will have a look [13:45] Where can I tell firefox/flash to output sound to jACK rather than ALSA/pulseaudio?

Perfect performance in Konqueror [13:46] soreau: hey, thanks a lot for this! Sure, I don't have compiz so it's still buggy (because before lucid compiz was working perfectly too), but this at least makes it possible to use the system without constant restarting. [13:47] mofaph_, sorry, couldnt find that. try to look in your settings [13:47] Ileden: Cool, at least you have something usable for now :) [13:47] how can i convert pdf to djvu [13:47] marcel01: so this is what happened in the terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/440848/ [13:48] why won't xchat systray notification icon be installed? [13:48] marcel01, how? [13:48] Ileden: TBH, I think it sounds like some resource issue. Perhaps a newer radeon card will not have this issue (my 9600 works great) [13:48] hellyeah: pdf is a file type, dejavu is a font [13:48] marcel01: or how do i find out my type of card?

[13:55] i guess i will submit [13:55] Ileden: Its a high probability that something probably changed in the driver since they have done nearly a complete overhaul o the driver with kms. Ums should set back to the old way of doing things but there is also changes still being made in these code paths [13:55] hellyeah: i'm sure they won't reject your thesis just on the basis that it's bigger than 2mb [13:56] soreau: emm, the kernel option didn't stay after reboot. how do I make it permanent?

[13:58] phillyj: yep. [13:58] can i change the terminal bell so that it uses my main speakers instead of system speakers [13:58] phillyj: the braces aren't strictly necessary, but a good habit to get into.

[14:30] ok [14:30] phlak_user: and she's already recieved that advice like 15 minutes ago so she must have tried it [14:30] M0D-1T, try in #winehq [14:31] blue_anna: not the directory.. the file that menuconfig uses called .config [14:31] Hi everybody.

[14:49] that seems excessive for one machine; what about aptoncd jshanab [14:49] !aptoncd [14:49] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [14:49] NightlyUser, of course. This is just a problem I noticed a few days ago. Been using Linux since Ubuntu 6.10. [14:49] if i made an LiveUSB on EXT3 and i want to move to FAT32, i can just make an tarball of all the DOK and extract it after a format? [14:50] vocx: that is unusual, sorry i can't be of more help, i was going to suggest to reformat them [14:50] bazhang. I was reading on that and wasn't sure if that would do the trick It seemed like I would need access to the machine or one that is identical at this end. I want to prep here where I have a decent connection and then drive 150 miles and conenct the two together and update it. [14:51] vocx: but since they worked beforehand that probably wouldn't make a difference [14:52] jshanab, or set one identical up in a virtualbox then do it that way [14:52] bazhang. Then I want to bring the box here and keep it synced with a cron. So everytime I take it there I can update it. Now if aptoncd will let me send a cd in the mail, that may be better. [14:52] jshanab: why not prepare a new machine, and then take that to your remote location? [14:52] NightlyUser, I can't reformat them, because they are not even available to... eh do stuff with them. I think it may be udev's fault or something like that. Also, I remember that I used to have some kernel modules named ehci_hci and ohci_ or something like that, and now they are gone. Seems, like the kernel now manages this stuff in a more automagic way. [14:53] vocx: that's pretty serious [14:53] vocx: tried reinstalling hal or udev? [14:53] NightlyUser, that would be a little extreme? hehe [14:54] bazhang. Virtualbox will not hit the hardware driver issues. New machine is tough. Gotta get exact hardware knowledge, and machine is older. Rather this be a bit more generic. [14:54] what's a good graphical database client that would allow me to view the tables in a database? i need to write a program to copy the data from one database to another and i need to see the structure of the source database to do it. [14:54] whenever it is time to fsck, the proces seems to never end, and when i get impatient and press Esc, i see a bunch of ureadahead-other proces terminations and warnings about ***SEVERE*** filesystem damage [14:54] greezmunkey. Software already on machine. User at other end can't handle all the transfers [14:54] vocx: not having those drivers in the kernel is a little extreme too :) [14:55] helo, you have backups? [14:55] blendmaster1024. WHat Database? [14:55] NightlyUser, I mean, run "lsmod". Are they there on your system? [14:55] helo, give it a very long time to run. like leave it on overnight. [14:55] jshanab, i think the source is SQLServer [14:55] What's the best was to check if a certain library is installed in Ubuntu? For example, I need to know if I have "PyQt 4.1 with Qt 4.2 or newer". [14:55] i don't have time to let it run all night starting at 8am on a workday :) [14:56] helo, i'm just saying that you need to. it's not in any way an immediate solution. [14:56] sipior: can you tell me what you said about setting PATH? started with "export"; my computer crashed and nothing got saved [14:56] jshanab, the destination will be sqlite at first, then i'll run it again for mysql later [14:56] vocx: theres usbstorage and usbhid [14:56] NightlyUser, previously, they were there. Now, there is only hid, and usbhid,which I suppose load the other modules magically. Do me a favor. You plug a USB drive, and show me that portion of the log in /var/log/messages. Let me see if I can find some solution. [14:56] i like being able to see what is happening, with progress bar, etc [14:56] for some reason that disappeared at some point from the framebuffer fanciness [14:56] jshanab, with any luck, however, i won't need to look at the destination database with a viewer. [14:57] how can i switch between languages (in winows ctrl + shift)? [14:57] isam_, using iBus? === fran is now known as Guest74402 [14:57] what is ibus i just swtched to ubuntu :| [14:58] blendmaster1024 Well since each server defaults to a different port I have always found that each one has it's own client. Whiel there may be a universal client, I cannot think of one at the moment. pgadmin for postgres, mysqladmin and webadmin for mysql. etc. [14:58] what is the symlink/folder ~/Private for? [14:58] !info ibus | isam_ [14:58] isam_: ibus (source: ibus): New input method framework using dbus. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.0.20091215-1ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 454 kB, installed size 4008 kB [14:58] bazhang, that's too much information for a new guy. [14:58] vocx: give me a mo [14:58] Please help! Fresh install login problem! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/584674 [14:58] blendmaster1024, no its not [14:58] isam_, you want to permanently change your language? [14:59] bazhang, okay then [14:59] what is the symlink/folder ~/Private for? [14:59] ok, now after pressing C to cancel the fsck, it's saying "user cancelled ..." but still is not proceeding with boot [15:00] vocx: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/p67ZeebV [15:00] http://www.raidchan.org/radio/listen.pls [15:00] http://www.raidchan.org/radio/listen.pls [15:00] BRock: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:01] can someone tell me how to set the PATH? sipior told me something like "export PATH=$:/directory"; Is this correct? [15:01] i mean "export PATH=$PATH:/directory" [15:01] NightlyUser, note to self: do not unload "usbhid", specially if you are using in fact a USB mouse and keyboard. [15:01] phillyj, from the command line already i assume? [15:01] how do you tell find to only find non-binary files? [15:01] hello, I was trying to design a webserver, and I noticed that people could access it from outside by using my IP, how can I disallow outside connections, and are there things to know (for instance, I still want to be able to connect to other machines via ssh, etc ) [15:01] blendmaster1024: yes [15:02] blue_anna: uh, you don't... "find" doesn't look *inside* files, it only looks at their directory information [15:02] phillyj, then yes, that will do it for one session. do you want it for just one session, or for forever? [15:02] no i know i can click the language bar but i need a faster way to switch [15:02] Hi, what does this mean "using the prefix=PREFIX directive" in this guide: http://www.brandonsavage.net/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu/? [15:02] phillyj, you typically want your folder to be first "PATH=/my/folder:$PATH" [15:02] http://www.brandonsavage.net/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu/ * [15:02] blendmaster1024: oh, i need to permanently change it [15:02] isam_, then install ibus and configure it [15:02] LjL: ok, -- is there another commmand I can exec that will detect binary files? [15:02] vocx: i got an unreliable usb hub [15:03] mael__, You going to have to learn firewalling really quick! [15:03] LjL: thanks, btw, I .. I remember find having a -type b and that would have done it, but not on ubuntu [15:03] mael__, And also explain your setup a bit more [15:03] itguru: how come there is no easy tool in Ubuntu, this is a serious sec flaw.. [15:03] itguru: I run a webserver on one of my port to test it locally [15:03] phillyj, i see. hold on a sec ... [15:03] mael__, First, this is *not* a security flaw [15:03] NightlyUser, so you can't test this? [15:03] vocx: was that of any help? [15:03] this is by design :) [15:03] itguru: but I would like to drop incoming traffic to that port [15:04] Are you running on your local system? [15:04] Hi, what does this mean "using the prefix=PREFIX directive" in this guide: http://www.brandonsavage.net/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu/ ? [15:04] itguru: yes but the fact that the default allows all connections and provide no tool to easily manage filters seems to be a flaw [15:04] NightlyUser, What? Did you post something before I crashed and had to reboot? [15:04] blue_anna: "b" finds special files (i.e. /dev/ stuff) on GNU find... anyway, "grep" can discriminate text files from binary files [15:04] mael__, There is something called ufw - which is ubuntu firewall [15:04] vocx: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/p67ZeebV [15:04] How can I enable copy / paste from terminal (rdesktop) to non-terminal windows (gedit, xchat, etc.) and vice versa, presently they appear to use seperate clipboards that do not access one another through any means. [15:04] itguru, mael__: Its 'Uncomplicated Firewall' [15:04] itguru: nice [15:04] mael__, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [15:04] okay [15:05] What does this mean "using the prefix=PREFIX directive" in this guide: http://www.brandonsavage.net/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu/ ? [15:05] phillyj, ok, open your ~/.bashrc and add at the end the 'export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/directory"' [15:05] Pici, Oh!? that stands for uncomplicated firewall!? lol - i tell people it's ubuntu firewall, but then, I used all the major distros! [15:05] I cant install ubuntu on a sony vaio laptop... any ideia why? When the disk boot, goes black screen [15:05] is the kernel used in different linux distributions the same? Or are they developed indepedently? If I changed to Debian would I get a different kernel? [15:05] itguru: why isn't the default to forbid all connexions from the outside on user ports, for instance ? [15:05] mael__, that should get you started [15:05] LjL: yea that's true. I have the flag wrong , there is another common build of find that will detect if it is a binary file though [15:05] mael__, To allow people to remotly install ubuntu? [15:05] LjL: again thanks [15:05] Bagualas_, bad iso or bad burn? md5 the iso yet? [15:06] mael__, remotly configure it, without locking themselves out? [15:06] Bagualas: Your installation file is probably bad [15:06] jshanab, you not know of any database visualization tools that i can get free (don't need to be FOSS) and that work on SQLServer? [15:06] bazhang, already installed in another machine [15:06] if I apt-get install python-zopeinterface, apt says: Note, selecting python-zope.interface instead of python-zopeinterface --- why? [15:06] itguru: allow connections that have been initiated by the machine, but drop those from unknown other machines [15:06] Bagualas_, try some bootoptions? [15:06] itguru: I will check the fwall [15:06] mael__: There is nothing listening on any ports when Ubuntu is installed. Therefore, no firewall rules are needed. [15:06] What does this mean "using the prefix=PREFIX directive" in this guide: http://www.brandonsavage.net/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu/ ? [15:06] NightlyUser, yep. For instance, with me, the kernel messages only shows the first two lines "usb 1-3.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 49" and "usb 1-3.4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice", the other stuff "scsi27 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices", etc. doesn't appear. [15:06] Bagualas_, if all else fails try the alternate cd [15:06] Hello... [15:06] blendmaster1024: what is ~/.bashrc and where is it? [15:07] bazhang, whats the difference between the alternative and the official? [15:07] phillyj: ~ is your home directory [15:07] do kernel upgrades come automatically with ubuntu? or do i need to upgrade manually?? [15:07] Pici, I just googled it myself and it really IS uncomplicated firewall!? awesome! [15:07] phillyj, ~/ is a shortcut to your home directory, so ~/.bashrc is a text file in your home directory that starts with a . aka it's hidden. [15:07] vocx: anything i can do to help further? [15:07] What does this mean "using the prefix=PREFIX directive" in this guide: http://www.brandonsavage.net/installing-php-5-3-on-ubuntu/ ? [15:07] Bagualas_, live is run and show with installing/plus can install; alternate is text only installer [15:07] I can't install lucid on my pc its crashes at the partitioner. Alternate CD is fine and memory also good, Hd is new any ideas? [15:07] NightlyUser, do a "lsmod | grep usb" [15:08] Anyone with ATI HD Card notice that ATI Catalyst 10.5 which recently release two days ago keep wanting to be remove when uninstalling other packages. [15:08] mr_fribble: You can specify environment variables before an executable name to make them only be defined for that programs execution. i.e, FOO="bar" ./path/baz [15:08] blendmaster1024: i get permission denied when i type ~/.bashrc [15:09] does ubuntu automatically install new kernel upgrades?? [15:09] Is this a Ubuntu Lucid error [15:09] join [15:09] i keep gettin: A problem that we were not expecting has occurred. [15:09] Pici: So what would I change in the configure? [15:09] any fix to this or wil ubuntu fix this anytime soon. [15:09] phillyj, ok. just run this command and the text editor will open: 'gedit ~/.bashrc' [15:09] Please report this bug with the error description. and the description says "menu" [15:09] vocx: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ACh7quMS [15:10] what?? [15:10] mr_fribble: Actually. looking over that again, take a look at ./configure --help to see what exactly the -prefix argument does. Likely it defines what location you'd want to install php into. Additionally, are you aware that php 5.3 is in the lucid repositories? [15:10] is the kernel used in different linux distributions the same? Or are they developed indepedently? If I changed to Debian would I get a different kernel than the one that is currently used in ubuntu?? [15:10] Pici: What is lucid repositories? The latest version is 5.2.6 [15:10] blandmaster1024. I tried this once http://www.dbvis.com/ but it didn't really work as well as advertized for postgres so I stuck to pgadmin3. Maybe it will work for you [15:10] mr_fribble: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [15:11] in which app i can edit files and save them directly to my remote server? [15:11] 9.04 [15:11] Pici: I don't want to upgrade my ubuntu [15:11] mr_fribble: Ah. 'lucid' is the codename for 10.04. [15:11] Anybody have any idea why one monitor, the text is lighter and such, and the others are fine. This happened immediately following my upgrade to 10.04 Lucid Lynx Desktop. === ircleuser1 is now known as tree [15:12] Pici:so -prefix =PREFIX would be where I want to install it? [15:12] NightlyUser, hey, wadayya know! I modprobe usb_storage, as per your paste, and it worked. Mmmm... more testing needs t be done. As I said, my lsmod only had "usbhid" and "hid", but your laptop has some other modules loaded. I wonder why? [15:12] is there a way to run lucid with the 2.6.28 kernel? [15:12] blendmaster1024: so i just add the export to the end? I have another location that i must also add to the PATH so would I write another "export" line? [15:13] vocx: i run xubuntu but i probably coulnt answer that [15:13] mr_fribble: Probably. running ./configure with only -h or --help should explain what -prefix is though. [15:13] vocx: glad i could help [15:13] phillyj, yep, at the end. no, you'd put both in the same line: "export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory1:/directory2/path/here" [15:13] blendmaster1024. sorry missspelled your name. I tried this once http://www.dbvis.com/ but it didn't really work as well as advertized for postgres so I stuck to pgadmin3. Maybe it will work for you [15:13] NightlyUser, don't you feel happy when the user asks the right questions to help people help him? [15:13] I found thet any tool that talks JDBC works on a lot of databases that have jdbc, but that you have minimal functionality for database specific stuff [15:13] jshanab: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:14] vocx: yes [15:14] What are the advantages of MySQL over PostgreSQL? [15:14] Flood? [15:14] vocx: you likely know more than me [15:14] jshanab: probably the bot is just lagged :) [15:14] !ot | jdeloach [15:14] jdeloach: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [15:15] Pici: Thank you for your help [15:16] anyone? [15:16] is there a way to run lucid with the 2.6.28 kernel? [15:16] !anyone [15:16] How can I enable copy / paste from terminal (rdesktop) to non-terminal windows (gedit, xchat, etc.) and vice versa, presently they appear to use seperate clipboards that do not access one another through any means. [15:16] 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? [15:16] jshanab, thank you! looks like it'll work, my only hesitation is the license - am i allowed to use the eval version for work? [15:16] Pici. Oh i see I accidently hit return mid post. LOL [15:16] blendmaster1024: is there a space between the 1st and 2nd directories? [15:17] phillyj, no. a space will break it. [15:17] blendmaster1024. I don't know. never dug that deep [15:17] phillyj, in fact, if you have spaces in any of the names of the directorys, the export line has to be slightly different. [15:17] hello , what's xchat [15:17] i'm new here [15:17] hxing, its a irc program. [15:18] thank Cry [15:18] !info xchat > hxing [15:18] thanks guys [15:18] hxing, also, it's what i'm typing in as i talk to you. [15:18] could you guys tell me where you from ? [15:19] hxing, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [15:19] hxing, all over the place. around the world. no more specific than that is needed. [15:19] Ok [15:19] you guys are hospitality [15:20] i like been here [15:20] how would I go around to downgrade the kernel in lucid? [15:20] !hi all [15:20] kaddi, why would you want to do that [15:20] does ubuntu upgrade the kernel automatically?? [15:20] hxing, seriously. no chat in here. there is too much else going on - if you want to chat, talk in #ubuntu-offtopic as most of us are there too. [15:20] Martijnvdc, unattended you mean? [15:20] Martijnvdc, pseudo automatically, I think its pulled in through synnaptic "upgrade all" options. [15:20] i used windows installer how can i increase [15:21] i have another question : does xchat need to register ? [15:21] Martijnvdc, yes. But only security upgrades. A really new kernel is delivered when the whole distributions upgrades, every six months [15:21] kaddi, you'd need to build the new (old) kernel and manually make the shifts over. [15:21] hxing, no, but some channels do [15:21] ah, thank you! [15:21] !register | hxing [15:21] hxing: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [15:21] cause I've been unable to modify my screensettings and modify cpu tact for some while and that's annoying me. This is a laptop, it's supposed to run long time and that ain't happening with birghtness set to full and cpu running at the highest tact [15:21] @ bazhang [15:21] hxing, xchat does not, but freenode, what xchat connects to, does - see what bazhang gave you [15:21] thanks [15:22] kaddi, a kernel downgrade is not something to consider and not supported here [15:22] hxing, it's not absolutely required, either; it just makes it so that other people don't take your nickname and stuff like that. [15:22] I made a bugreport about it a year ago too, I've been updating it regularly for the last year, but I've given up hope that anybody is actually going to read it. So I'd like to go back to kernel 28 where stuff was working [15:22] help [15:22] help [15:23] !help [15:23] 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. :-) [15:23] phantu, ask a question then [15:23] @ bazhang where would that be supported? [15:23] yes [15:23] before i send my pc to standby my network works. And i installed kttsd (text2speech). Now after startup, i see my networkcard anymore if i type ifconfig i only get localhost [15:23] any idea, what i could do? [15:23] rethus, sudo ifconfig -a [15:23] i want ask to install driver linux mint? [15:23] What? No package for xearth? [15:24] kaddi, running an older kernel wont fix that , ie if it's not meant for that version [15:24] rethus, does your network device show up then? [15:24] does the universal language here is english , what about french ? [15:24] phantu, linux mint is not supported here [15:24] hxing, in #ubuntu-fr [15:24] yes, eth0 [15:24] phantu: please don't stall, when asking a Q please write the whole Q [15:24] hxing: there are other channels for other languages (like #ubuntu-fr for french) [15:24] hxing, i think there is a #ubuntu-fr [15:24] rethus, sudo ifconfig eth0 up [15:24] phantu: what driver btw? [15:24] okie [15:24] hi all i'm wondering why my box freeze if i set the visual effect to normal (it didnt happen when i set it to none) [15:24] !mintsupport | phantu [15:24] phantu: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [15:24] about sound [15:25] rethus, when a specific network device is "down" it doesn't show up on the normal ifconfig list, nor will it be regarded as actually being "On" [15:25] thanks , but i dont know how to the fr channel [15:25] bazhang: so only choice would be to go back to intrepid? or hardy?

[15:25] hxing, /join #ubuntu-fr [15:25] okei [15:25] phantu: please stop stalling or using enter as punctuation [15:25] hxing, read an irc tutorial, there are 1000x of them online, go google. [15:25] but it is not working [15:25] aeon-ltd, he's not stalling, no need for that [15:25] Cryp71c: k, i see it now if i enter ifconfig, but have still no connection [15:25] Cryp71c, that's very not helpful. [15:25] phantu, its not supported here [15:25] rethus, sudo dhclient eth0 [15:26] thanks [15:26] blendmaster1024, what isn't? [15:26] hxing, are you in xchat now? [15:26] and driver wifi? help [15:26] phantu: do you have ALSA installed? [15:26] Cryp71c, suggesting google is not OK here [15:26] yes , i'm here [15:26] Cryp71c, 99.999% of the time, you tell someone to google it, and they never figure it out [15:26] phantu: what wifi card? not many are supported by linux yet, but many are experimental/buggy [15:26] blendmaster1024: i think i have to reboot for the PATH changes to take place? [15:27] phillyj, no. just restart bash. [15:27] aeon-ltd, please join him in the linuxmint support chat [15:27] phillyj, EXPORT $PATH, I think will export the path. [15:27] Cryp71c: k. thanks a lot, now eth0 has an ip [15:27] hxing, there are many ways to get to this chatroom that are not xchat. ok, see this : #channelnumber500 << right click on that word and click "join channel" [15:27] blendmaster1024: how do i restart bash? [15:27] Cryp71c: but what could be the basic-problem why the network not start [15:27] phillyj, close the terminal, reopen. [15:27] rethus, k, that's only a temp solution, you'll have to continue to do that (ifconfig eth0 up ; dhclient eth0) so you need to identify what's causing your network device to go down [15:27] card atheros [15:27] bazhang: meh. [15:28] phantu, this is linuxmint? [15:28] alright, thx [15:28] how to get that beautiful raster font which is in X by default? [15:28] Cryp71c: how can i do this? [15:28] card atheros AR9285 [15:28] most linux distros are basically the same, telling someone to go to another channel for help is pointless, doesn't matter if the user is using space in other channels [15:28] hix [15:28] ?

After doing so I boot at runlevel "unknown" so a number of critical service sdo not start. I've read the threads and don't have an interfaces file problem. How can an diagnose the source of the problem?

[15:34] nomnex: for starters its 915 and quiet [15:34] partitions. attempting to back up right now, but access isn't granted for many files/folders. [15:35] aeon-ltd, so first 915 --- quite splash? [15:35] remoteCTRL: Whats up? [15:35] carso1: you may need to mount them at boot with fstab [15:35] nomnex: splash just controls the gui graphical boot, quiet kills off the majority of the verbose messages [15:36] aeon-ltd, the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes says: 3) Add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet splash". [15:36] nomnex: are these spelling mistakes present in menu.lst? [15:36] aeon-ltd, so that's wrong? [15:36] aeon-ldt: pretty sure that's what I was trying to do with pysdm, fstab got messed up. tried last night to fix it (set defaults, etc.) but again, no permission to edit the file from this live boot. Not sure how else to edit it (terrible at cmd line stuff) [15:36] hi everybody, since yesterday I have a problem: the gnome panels disappears, I restart nautilus but when I close any window it disappears again.

[15:42] cheater99: hi [15:42] :) [15:42] madjoe, I see a 17-page document but the headers are the only thing that is shown, and it looks corrupted. I think this is a problem with the application creating the PDF [15:43] sorry [15:43] cheater99: never heard of it, what is it used for? [15:43] it is used for readline configuration [15:43] vocx: you good with command line? [15:43] aeon-ltd, what do you want to know? [15:43] i want to find out what keystroke changes from emacs mode to vi mode and back [15:43] cheater99: try creating one in your home dir. see if it gets read [15:44] i don't get it, i'm trying to enable bitmap fonts but dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config gives me no options at all, how to do it? [15:44] aeon-ltd, i want to find the one that exists already [15:44] vocx: you could try using pdftohtml it will convert the pdf to images and html, if its not present there either its most likely corrupt [15:44] how to convert MP3 to AIFF ? [15:44] i'm usng ubuntu netbook remix here and enjoying it [15:44] roby: good to know [15:45] default /etc/inputrc [15:45] aeon-ltd: is that it? edit fstab? I figured that out on my own, but am having trouble editing fstab. you look busy, maybe I'll look elsewhere. [15:45] aeon-ltd, oh, okay. It's not really my problem, I was helping madjoe. You got that ^ madjoe? It's probably corrupted. [15:45] i do have some problems with the display because sometimes the screen shifts to the left and the other part pops out at the right [15:45] Cryp71c: any idea? [15:46] carso1: there wiki entrys on various sites, but i usually just copy a similar line and edit it to my prefs :) [15:46] i can not install vbox additions to the fedora guest , i am using ubuntu 10.04 [15:46] seems to be /etc/inputrc [15:46] Cryp71c: only thing i found in dmesg is: eth0:: no IPV6 router present [15:46] vocx: yeah, but the sender doesn't see a problem in viewing it in other applications on Windows... he even sent me the same file in .docx format and still it seemed to be corrupted... I don't know why [15:46] I just installed 10.04 LT and i have one problem when i launch firefox or any app i and not able to close it or move it [15:46] apache2 isn't starting up when my system boots, when I enter "update-rc.d apache2 defaults" I get "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/apache2 already exist." I'm not seeing anything illuminating in my system or apache logs, any suggestions? [15:47] what? I can't use Kubuntu CD as a package source for Ubuntu?! 10.04 ofcourse [15:47] how to enable bit,ap fonts? stupid wiki is outdated [15:47] aeon-ltd: thanks for the hint [15:47] madjoe, hehe, probably some visual basic virus of some sort in his machine. [15:48] vocx: lol :) [15:48] aeon-ltd: thanks for the help, think I'm on my way. (gksu is my friend!) [15:49] there is not x on the window or any boarder around it [15:49] Dave915, it hat occurs, press F11 to unlock maximum screen [15:50] aha, alt-ctrl-j for vi mode and ctrl-e for emacs mode [15:50] it's not that Oer it's something else [15:50] madjoe, I guess, post the docx then so I can try it out too. By the way, I tried evince and okular with your PDF and they did not crash, only they displayed a corrupted file. [15:51] how do i go about installing grub2 on /dev/sda ? [15:51] vocx: evince and vocular? should I use any other PDF viewer if there's something better than the default app in Ubuntu? [15:52] epdfviewer [15:52] madjoe, adobe reader [15:53] zenlunatic aeon-ltd: is there something more lightweight such as Foxit Reader on windows? is epdfviewer something like that? [15:53] madjoe, the only thing better in any way IMO is adobe reader; and it's slower. [15:53] madjoe, the default viewer is "evince" which is the Document Viewer. But you can install okular, or xpdf, or even adobe reader, in the partner repository. I haven't had a need for it though, the open source solutions work okay for me. [15:53] madjoe: kinda [15:53] A libc6 update requires system restart right [15:54] but then its relative to evince, so yeah [15:54] madjoe, the reason it's better is because in general, it works better, if more slowly. [15:54] madjoe, thing is, evince can print secured documents and other stuff like that === mod is now known as modacular [15:54] theadmin, surprisingly not. I updated libc6 and didn't have to reboot, I was amazed. [15:54] !best [15:54] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:54] blendmaster1024: I prefer speed and stability... ok, I'll talk to the guy to change his PDF converter or something. [15:54] vocx: o_o [15:56] blendmaster1024: so, do you think I should just stick to the default viewer then? [15:56] Then what could require a system restart out of the following list? http://paste.ubuntu.com/440914/ [15:56] madjoe, tell him to use PDFCreator, it's a free alternative, using a virtual PDF printer and Ghostscript. [15:56] LjL: check this out: find . -exec bash -c 'somefunc >/dev/null' \; -- that works :) [15:56] I don't get it :/ [15:56] madjoe, unless you find a pdf that doesn't work right in it, yes. [15:57] vocx: what if he uses a MAc? [15:57] argh all input is frozen except the xchat type box - the mouse moves but won't click, and only parts of the keyboard work o.O [15:57] seriouly wtf! [15:58] ever since i upgraded to 10.04, when i jump to a marked line in vim, if that mark doesn't exist, it goes to the mark in another file. can i turn this off? [15:58] vocx: I think this one's ok as well - if not even better alternative: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F1FC413C-6D89-4F15-991B-63B07BA5F2E5&displaylang=en [15:59] * blendmaster1024 restarts X [15:59] how do I get network manager to stop configuring my eth0? [15:59] anybody happen to know where to the entries for dvd/cdrom drives have gone in fstab and why there are no more directories in /media to mount them to? [15:59] i manually configure that interface, but then networkmanager unconfigures it [16:00] madjoe, mmm... I'm stumped, I didn't know PDFCreator was for Windows only. I can't believe there isn't a similar solution for Mac. In any case, he could use Open Office, which natively supports the creation of PDFs. [16:00] better! metacity had crashed. [16:00] ok now clicking in xchat does the same thing the close button does [16:00] vocx: thanks [16:00] Hello Ubuntu-indulged Users!

Removed all kde4 stuff and changed to xfce (minimal xubuntu, with only few apps). Now can't get mouse acceleration to work - xfce settings manager doesn't work, xset mouse 20 2 also doesn't work. I'm using thinkpad T23, the problem is with trackpoint, haven't tried any "real" mouse (i'm never using it anyways..). It was the same problem on 9.10 and in 10.04 - settings in kde configurat [16:08] or didn't affect behaviour, but I didn't bother to fix as i was about to upgrade to 10.04 xfce [16:08] joshua__: don't think so yet [16:08] <|friTTe|> hi boys and girls =) i got a problem with pidgin musictracker and banshee [16:08] <|friTTe|> everything is set but still no output [16:08] bencc1: is this your looking for http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/opencv ?

[16:19] no i mean terminal profile [16:19] Psy-T: that command above has to be done using admin permitions, so you might need to add "sudo" in front of that line [16:19] i have a desktop terminal with terminal profile 999666 [16:19] i want to hide the username@domain in that profile [16:19] rpattabi: but its very likely that camera just allows to read photos and thus work fully [16:19] not default terminal instances [16:19] blue_anna: wise_crypt gave some interesting info that lead me for example to here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/powerpc/gnome-volume-manager/2.24.1-3ubuntu1 [16:19] For some reason my user is no longer in the sudoers file... was ok earlier (new install). Can't think of anything I'd have done to remove myself from admin group etc... [16:19] When I try to get it I'm getting this message: gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/fperez/.gnupg/gpg.conf' [16:19] chavez, dont know what to do about that [16:20] @MaximLevitsky: Thanks for the tip about protocol. I will check. I don't think I would need the features they give in windows application. I usually hate applications from hardware manufacturesrs :) [16:20] ANy ideas? [16:20] since I'm just messing with audio, someone suggested that backing up /etc/pulse and /etc/asound.conf should be enough. [16:20] coalesce: prompt is in shell, not in terminal [16:20] join #ubuntu-br [16:20] rpattabi: in addition to that, you can pull out the flash card and read it in card reader [16:20] rpattabi: this is usualy faster both in linux and windows [16:20] acicula, thanks anyways ;) [16:21] remoteCTRL: hal isn't installed in lucid though... [16:21] coalesce, thats fine, but the prompt is governed and set from within bash using the PS1/2 variables so if you want those changed make a script where you define them and have your terminal program call the script [16:21] Psy-T: well, the entire contents of /etc/ is around 10M so you it's not that you will waste space or all [16:21] remoteCTRL: unless you installed it yourself [16:21] remoteCTRL: which link i just give u the forum link i think you better file a bug about it [16:21] Oh, okay Night_Elf, thanks. [16:21] @MaximLevitsky: You mean 'reading the flash card in card reader is faster than reading directly from camera'? [16:21] hello [16:21] hi everybody , i have a netbook i want to install ubuntu via usb i havent any idea for linux so i want to install second OS ( xp and Ubuntu ) i downloaded ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386 , is there any way to install ubuntu not datalost D:\ drive .. sorry my fluently eng. [16:22] coalesce, in gnome-terminal that would be "run a custom command" where you specify bash + some options to set the prompt [16:22] is it safe to copy /etc/skel/.bashrc to ~? [16:22] gtryrty, unetbootin [16:22] wise_crypt: ive been struggling with that conclusion, yepp... [16:22] #ubuntu-br [16:22] so i can override the default PS1/PS2 variables with a custom command? [16:22] naesojo, /join #ubuntu-br [16:22] blue_anna: humm... no more hal in lucid?? [16:22] drizzt_: sure, users have that in their homes by default anyway [16:22] drizzt_, its what every use gets by default, it erases your own original .bashrc though [16:22] drizzt_: yea. That's what happens when you create a new user. On that user's homedir, it's the /etc/skel that is copied. [16:22] *user [16:23] I tried to copy the /etc/ dir in Nautilus, but it says I don't have permissions to read it. [16:23] anyone have experience with PLC's ? [16:23] Anyone available that can give me an idea on how to get the fingerprint from Launchpad? I'm trying to follow the instructions on the web but unfortunately I'm not getting the fingerprint, instead I'm getting the following message: gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/fperez/.gnupg/gpg.conf' [16:23] !gpgerr [16:23] Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys && gpg --export --armor | sudo apt-key add - » [16:23] Any idea? [16:23] remoteCTRL: it's not, unless its a different HAL than the xorg configuration can often refer to [16:23] cool thanks guys! [16:23] fremapesua: why not address the warning and investigate the file's ownership [16:23] I'll follow the command you offerred me a moment ago instead, Night_Elf. :) [16:24] OK jrib thx [16:24] Psy-T: you need to have admin rights for that action. Open a command terminal and do: sudo cp -r -p /etc /etc.savedbyme [16:24] Done, thanks. :) [16:24] Psy-T: no problem [16:24] Psy-T, not every file in /etc is readable for users which is why you would get an error [16:25] How do I fix this? http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3916/timeg.png [16:25] bazhang thanks , unetbootin is doing live usb ? or can creat install option? [16:25] remoteCTRL: #ubuntu-bugs might help if give the bug number [16:25] "sudo cp -r -p /etc /etc.saved" is the one I did. Where did it save to? [16:25] mr_fribble, you need root privelidges [16:25] Howdy Ho [16:25] acicula: I'm in root account. [16:25] gtryrty, both [16:25] Psy-T: directly at / [16:25] remoteCTRL: actually, that whole application isn't installed on lucid (gnome-volume-manager) [16:25] This is a message to all good guys out there!

I would find it very weird if it didn't [16:27] blue_anna: Seems to be working for me. And it worked above too :) [16:27] acicula: Nope, tried that.

My server does not have a console. Following a lead from trism I commented out all "console output" statements in upstart scripts (for me, mountall.conf, rc.conf, rc-sysinit.conf, ufw.conf). This seems to have resolved the problem. Does that seem reasonable? If so, should I post this somewhere of others to find? [18:47] same error for sites-available. [18:47] gicaprazzz: i'll wait the developer to update it :p [18:47] I have a logitech mx5500 keyboard. I have a dongle for this keyboard which is attached to my computer via usb.

Search "GNOME Login Sound" [18:57] thanks for that link [18:57] Christos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:57] Christos: like i said, rhythmbox is the default music player in ubuntu, you will need to install gstreamer codecs or fluendo for mp3 support [18:57] How do I change these operation through text files and the terminal? [18:57] having a problem with synaptic package manager and software center. As soon as they open, they close immediately. any idea how to fix that/ [18:57] Christos : http://www.my-guides.net/en/guides/linux/193-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-1004-post-installation-guide [18:58] rooligan, I have to activate the sounds, do not disable [18:58] ZenMasta, when you start them from the terminal is there any interesting information? [18:59] I use Xfce [18:59] Anyone have a favorite IDE for python under gnome? Or should I just stick with gedit and compile via CLI [18:59] XFCE! Cool! [18:59] Xubuntu [18:59] cristian_c: Oh, I can't help you [18:59] Prefer gnome myself [18:59] ok [18:59] on my desktop [18:59] Doubt any window manager will run on 266mhz Pentium MMX [18:59] joined the convo late, but if someone was asking about alternative desktop environments, I like LXDE a lot for older hardware [19:00] UnknownLobster, many WM's will. DE's, not so much [19:00] hey guys I'm a bit concerned with the hard drive activity of my ubuntu 9.10 install. Does anyone know what might be causing excessive hard drive activity when idle? [19:00] on channel # xubuntu told me to ask here [19:00] Ok thanks [19:00] I Heard the mention of LXDE [19:00] cristian_c, You have to modify/create /etc/gdm/custom.conf [19:00] what would that be like? [19:00] Semtex, prefetching [19:00] !best [19:00] mc__ i'm not starting from terminal... how do I try from the terminal [19:00] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:01] There are a lot of tiling window managers that will run on old hardware; dwii, awesome, i3, ratpoison, wmii, xmonad [19:01] thanks!

[19:02] and tiling window managers, that simply arrange things on the screen to use all of the area [19:02] mc__ it says segmentation fault [19:02] someone help me with pppoeconf ? [19:02] generally the tiling ones have much lower requirements because they're not rendering multiple layers or animations [19:03] so 800x600 would be alright for a tiling window manager [19:03] sure [19:03] on boot before splash my screen flickers several (~10) times in rapid order. The flicker is just black screen getting dimmer and lighter. How to make it stop? [19:03] thanks a3ist [19:03] ZenMasta, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [19:04] mc__ 10.04 just installed from live cd yesterday [19:04] Here's the thing: Generally speaking, tiling window managers aren't "flashy". You can make them look good, but their main focus is on functionality, and they're geared more towards power users; sysadmins, programmers, and the like. They don't have the notification bars, control panel guis, etc. [19:04] oh right [19:04] Semtex, I'm afraid not, though prefetching should only result in reads, maybe you can find some software which shows what applications cause the disk usage [19:05] maybe someone in here knows one? [19:05] as far as older hardware goes, if you still want a relatively normal desktop gui, with menus and windows, I'd recommend LXDE first and foremost. Run fantastic on this same laptop I'm typing from right now. [19:05] pure_hate, http://paste.ubuntu.com/440981/ I also saw the link I've been through but there are no options to select the startup and login sounds apparently [19:05] I tryed iotop [19:05] mc__, system monitor does [19:05] but a tililng window manage would be okay for just a web browser and possible a WiCD config screen [19:05] what is the difference between deluser and userdel????? [19:05] Hello - I just installed a lot of updates today and before this my wireless was working fine, now i am getting ~75% packet loss when pinging my router. I am using the ASUS wifi AP solo. Any ideas? [19:05] can u help me with configuring internet over ethernet card ? [19:05] UnknownLobster, you bet [19:05] ZenMasta, well it looks like you had bad luck, you can not really do something against a segmentation fault besides trying to reinstall the packages [19:06] cristian_c, you didnt read very well [19:06] cristian_c, Greeter=bin/gdmlogin --disable-sound [19:06] can u help me with configuring internet over ethernet card ? [19:06] synesp: deluser and adduser are friendlier front-ends to userdel and useradd, and generally should be used. [19:06] mc__ how can I reinstall the packages if I can't load the package manager or perform similar commands in a terminal without the same error [19:06] Woah! [19:07] I have a logitech mx5500 keyboard. I have a dongle for this keyboard which is attached to my computer via usb. For the past few weeks using 10.04, all has worked well. However, in order to properly pair the keyboard with the computer now, I must remove the dongle from the port and manually pair them. The mouse works fine, however. [19:07] mc__ ie, sudo apt-get install mysql5 i got segmenation faulty tree... 50% [19:07] synesp: They do many of the things that you would take for granted. For example, when creating a user, adduser will copy files from /etc/skel/, set the default shell to /bin/bash rather than sh, etc. [19:07] UnknownLobster, a great resource for finding out about different window managers is the arch linux wiki at http://wiki.archlinux.org/, since arch linux doesn't come with one preinstalled; users decide if they want one and then pick whichever one they like. [19:07] thanks [19:07] its geared towards arch, of course, but will still give a lot of good info about the advantages/disadvantages of different environments [19:07] Now how to install arch from windows [19:07] ZenMasta, whoa well now the only thing I can think of is using dpkg [19:08] My laptop doesn't have a bootable CD Drive [19:08] hi [19:08] mc__ i dont know what that is [19:08] UnknownLobster, got a usb port? [19:08] mc__ do I need to reinstall? [19:08] Why i cant connect my PC to a wifi router i mean on previous Karmic it worked fine.. [19:08] doubt my 1998 Toshiba will support usb booting [19:08] UnknownLobster, most major distros support bootable USB installs these days [19:08] hmm [19:08] It was a very propiertary system [19:09] ZenMasta, well since apt-get is broken that would probably be the best idea [19:09] I'm not as familiar with it but you could look into net booting [19:09] maybe you should check your CD for errors [19:09] mc__ thanks , but very lame [19:09] well I gotta get a Floppy drive for it anyway [19:09] UnknownLobster, could you use a removable / external CD drive just to get the basic distro installed? [19:09] Hello - I just installed a lot of updates today and before this my wireless was working fine, now i am getting ~75% packet loss when pinging my router. I am using the ASUS wifi AP solo. Any ideas? [19:09] (to edit the bios stuff) [19:09] mc__ guess I'll use the mini cd next time instead of the live [19:10] when i install lighttpd.. apache gets installed.. why? [19:10] what is the package name for the Ubuntu Netbook Edition? [19:10] ZenMasta, personally I never had problems with the live cd, but try burning it at a slower speed [19:10] hmmm [19:10] !unr| thewolf [19:10] thewolf: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [19:10] me neither until this version [19:11] pure_hate, ok, thanks but "Full path and name of the greeter executable followed by optional arguments."

Do you want low footprint? There are console-based irc clients like irssi. Want a normal, popular client? Xchat is popular here [19:13] ZenMasta, and that worked?

You can use tail to get the last few results, or grep to find ones relating to wlan- [19:31] AhmedBH, err wlan0 [19:31] ross_, just don't turn it off? [19:31] jc_ : there is no problem i just want my desktop accessible from my laptop remotely at all times [19:31] zmp, does whereis irssi tell you? === lookmee is now known as sawangpong [19:31] gerwin: it goes on the suspension mode automacially [19:31] !plymouth [19:31] ross_, that will involve some networking work [19:31] GRANDIUS, edit your menu, its probably there already but needs to be enabled [19:31] i suggest SSH, not vnc.. vnc over ssh [19:31] gerwin: i don't want it to ever suspend itself, i just want it on [19:32] jc_ : how do you do it?

[19:32] Is there a way from a C/C++ application to detect if a ethernet cable is plugged? A bit like in Gnome showing the ethernet icon in the task bar when you plug to cable. I found some console commands, but I would prefer a signal/interruption or something instead of having a timer constantly running the command, save in file, parse the file, etc. [19:32] !grub [19:32] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards.

[19:32] Dunge, ethernet driver perhaps? [19:32] AhmedBH, you can use "sudo tail -n 50 /var/log/messages" to get the last 50 lines [19:33] Dunge, or maybe you can catch the event from dbus [19:33] gerwin: what is the spin down hard disk option? [19:33] a3ist: http://paste.ubuntu.com/440994/ [19:33] just installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition (10.04) but can't seem to install the latest Sun Java plugin for browsers (Update 20). It only installs Update 18, is that normal? [19:33] acicula : I want this to work for every drivers [19:34] Dunge, then use dbus i suppose [19:34] AhmedBH, do "tail -n 200 /var/log/messages | grep wlan0" [19:34] ross_, if you're on a laptop, spinning down the harddisk saves power [19:34] ok, i'm unfamliar with this [19:34] Anyone happen to get the Logitech Webcam C120m to work on 10.04? [19:34] gerwin: thanks [19:35] a3ist: nothing appeard [19:35] gerwin: I will leave my desktop on to see if this works...i want to be able to access it remotely that's why : ) [19:35] Dunge, example http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/platform-awareness-service-d-bus-interface-documentation/ [19:35] so, I guess no one knows how to downgrade the kernel using apt? [19:36] BitWraith, downgrade how exactly [19:36] BitWraith, by default older revisions of the current kernel arent removed [19:36] meaning go back to the older kernel that worked [19:36] Has anyone had troubles with Firefox scrolling really slowly on long pages in Lucid? It seems to spike the CPU. I'm using an NVIDIA video card which may be a factor also. [19:37] Does anyone know how to remove all the packages this source http://ppa.launchpad.net/canonical-dx-team/une/ubuntu installed on my machine? [19:37] BitWraith, grub has elder kernels as options. [19:37] BitWraith, can you select it during boot? hold right shift [19:37] you can change the default kernel using startupmanager [19:37] i'm pretty new at this stuff... but where would i ind my computer's ip adress [19:37] courtni: ifconfig [19:38] courtni: open up a terminal and type in ifconfig [19:38] acicula, there zre two kernels in /boot, both of which appear in the grub menu... but neither one can operate my wireless [19:38] courtni, right click your network icon and select Connection information, note that an adress behind a dsl router is not the same as an external itnernet adress [19:38] I am sure there was an older kernel that got removed [19:38] thewolf: sudo ppa-purge ppa:canonical-dx-team/une [19:38] the xubuntu livecd runs 2.6.31 [19:39] are you sure thats not an old alpha/beta release?

[19:41] I would hate to have to reinstall just to fix whatever the updates broke... but I am running out of options [19:41] AhmedBH, I'm writing up a query that will find logs relating to wlan0 for you. Just need a few minutes [19:41] edbian: for some reason I had to use webchat instead of chatzilla [19:41] it wasn't able to connect this time [19:41] weird [19:41] a3ist: Okay thanks i will be here waiting :) [19:41] xangua:install: cannot stat `ppa-purge': No such file or directory [19:42] is there a log that would tell me all the changes that were applied last time I updated? [19:42] xangua: i think your on the right track thought [19:42] since I install a program [19:42] anyone uses gedit? there was a plugin where i could indent/un-indent a bunch of lines at the same time, but i cant find it anymore [19:43] sudo apt-get install ppa-purge, didn't work thewolf¿¿ [19:43] anyone know why i would get this eventhing i did a2enmod ldap [19:43] BitWraith, afaik even xubuntu shipped with a more recent kernel then that [19:43] Unknown Authn provider: ldap syntax error [19:43] lyrae: I thought simply selecting the lines and hitting tab would work... [19:43] xangua: you didn't tell me to do apt-get before... trying now [19:43] BitWraith, yeah there is a log in /var/log/apt [19:43] Waldir, yes, but how do you bring them back? [19:44] any apache2 guys here [19:44] shift-tab [19:44] oh [19:44] :) [19:44] Waldir, Od [19:44] no way hold on [19:44] YoJack: /j #httpd for apache-support [19:44] thewolf: i said install it :S [19:44] edbian: ? [19:44] Waldir, Glad we got everything fixed! [19:44] .... [19:44] Waldir, Odd about xchat [19:44] Waldir, thanks for that, lol [19:44] AhmedBH, a3ist, Just a thought - maybe WLAN is not on wlan0? On my laptop it's eth1 for example. No idea if this is anyhow helpfull for you [19:44] !anyone | YoJack [19:44] YoJack: 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? [19:44] With laptop+nvidia, how do you enable/disable an external monitor via command line? (tired ot launching nvidia config GUI every time I plugin an external monitor) [19:44] lyrae: no problem :D [19:44] xangua: E: Couldn't find package ppa:canonical-dx-team [19:45] thewolf: install PPA-PURGE [19:45] edbian: fortunately i don't use IRC too often [19:45] Docolero: well thats what i think can you help me with that cause i never had any issue with wifi [19:45] xangua: sry... thx for being patineint with me... [19:45] anyway let's hope it gets working later [19:45] Docolero, according to his ifconfig -a and iwconfig output it is indeed wlan0; thanks for the offer though. That is a common stumbling block. [19:45] thewolf: um, that's a PPA link; you add it with the Software Sources manager [19:45] acicula, I know... does wubi install an older version of xubuntu than the official release? I installed with wubi [19:45] edbian: many thanks for all your help! [19:46] Waldir, Anytime! That was fun! [19:46] a3ist: whats the difference between a standard cd which is 700 MB ubuntu and a DVD which is over 4 GB ? [19:46] a3ist, ok, I wasn't able to follow the chat to see if you already excluded this option [19:46] BitWraith, dunno about wubi really, but i doubt it [19:46] edbian: lol, kinda... I'll come back if I have any other such problems :) do you stick around here usually? [19:46] philpem: yes... but i want to be able to remove everything it installed [19:47] Waldir, All the time! [19:47] Hi, there is some software like MaxVista or ZoneView? for use use my second PC as an extra monitor (extend the desktop on a second pc) Thanks in advice.

[20:01] ohir: that doesnt look right [20:01] steez: alternatively you may make check how many free space is left for root. If zero I'd suggest make some space by removing unnecesary package files left in cache by apt-get [20:02] steez: use System->Administration->Logfile Viewer [20:02] a3ist: back :) [20:02] steez then do sudo cp /dev/null /log/file [20:02] blue_anna: you right [20:02] What is the way to open a bug against Ubuntu in general, when no specific package is known.... seems to be the base OS.

[20:25] jc_, I tried googling but didn't found anything good [20:25] nicolas: with parentheses [20:25] Purpley: for conky, this line seems to be the problem, find it and edit / delete from your config: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/temp2_input === daddoo is now known as Guest47484 [20:26] hello [20:26] Purpley: also you can make sense of the rest of the error message I guess; read 'man conky' for possible stuff, it changed over the last year or two so you may have an outdated config [20:26] blue_anna, no [20:26] nicolas: what was that link again? :) [20:26] blue_anna, but as I mentioned, opening the file in gedit displays the characters properly. [20:26] I have a question [20:26] :) [20:26] nicolas: why do you have to edit this in nano? [20:27] Purpley: paste your conky config if you're unsure [20:27] blue_anna, http://pastebin.com/6PU1ZDmM [20:27] VCoolio: I also do not see the program in the items list in Edit Menu [20:27] VCoolio, Is there a certain way it should be launched? Im just trying "conky" [20:27] blue_anna, I dont. But this is a webpage and when you view the page, the characters arent displayed properly, just like in nano. [20:27] does anyone know a good converter from ole2 to csv except for catdoc [20:27] ? [20:27] Purpley: depends on where your config is, if it's ~/.conkyrc you can do 'conky', else 'conky -c /path/to/configfile' [20:28] Yeah thats where it is [20:28] I have a problem with Heroes 3 for Linux,i can't update...and the game doesn't want to run [20:28] after install [20:28] Purpley: you copied a config from the web?

Not sure why, let me check and I'll get back to you [20:30] nicolas: I dont know what to tell you, that's a problem with the browser .. and if you're having that problem other people might too ... the browser *should* respect that tag [20:30] VCoolio, What do I put there? [20:30] Purpley: that forum thread is awesome, but better use the last 200 pages or so [20:31] how do you unpack but not install a .deb file?

How do I reset *all* gconf keys back to the normal ubuntu default? [20:59] StaRetji..... I guess you are booting from the usb flash disk and live cd session of ubuntu is started every time you boot.. even if you delete the shortcut from the dekstop... on the next reboot.. live cd opens itself as a fresh new session and the shortcut is back there againn.. did I make myself clear ? [20:59] |corpse|, so BIOS doesn't acknowledge what you know the RAM can provide? [20:59] * xnox_help is on tty1 now [21:00] <|corpse|> jc_: correct, they are 512mb each and if i put one in it shows 256 and 512 when both are in [21:00] |corpse|, check for latest BIOS updates for your mobo [21:00] |corpse|, also possible the mobo is slowly going...

[21:24] deostroll... use putty on windows machine.. and install ssh on your ubuntu [21:24] benkay86, wht port do those communications go through? [21:25] deostroll: Port 22 by default, but you can change that in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [21:25] deostroll: FYI, check out /etc/services for a list of commonly used ports. === cs278^kinslayer is now known as cs278 [21:25] benkay86 you seem to know these issues well.. I have a question for you.. [21:26] I am connected to another pc via a router...so I am supposed to do some port-forwarding setup...tht is why i asked the port... [21:26] OK...

I login remotely to ubuntu from windows.. and start byobu on putty screen. when I also start byobu on ubuntu my putty connection is completely closed.. any idea why ? [21:27] I have a logitech mx5500 keyboard. I have a dongle for this keyboard which is attached to my computer via usb. For the past few weeks using 10.04, all has worked well. However, in order to properly pair the keyboard with the computer now, I must remove the dongle from the port and manually pair them. The mouse works fine, however. [21:27] Thank you ocean [21:28] benkay86, i can't load windows partitions it have the option [21:28] should I worry about this? postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory === Votan is now known as Votan|off [21:28] benkay86, but it stay black [21:28] What do I install to get a mozilla firefox acroread plugin nowadays (64 bit)? I have enabled medibuntu but the package mozilla-acroread does not seem to exist ("Couldn't find package mozilla-acroread") [21:29] ocean : hows the oil? [21:29] subspider: Would you mind posting the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg to pastebin? [21:29] tomubuntu: Are you starting byobu from inside byobu? I imagine that's not a good idea. [21:30] Arsanerit: I think acroread has moved to the Ubuntu partner repository. [21:30] http://pastie.org/981788 # trouble on new ubuntu version with plone4 [21:30] benkay86, http://pastebin.com/zmm2Jesn [21:31] subspider: That looks reasonable. Have you been able to boot Windows from grub in the past? [21:31] benkay86: I have acroread, just not acroread-plugin. Ubuntu partner? the first google hit is error 404 at ubuntu.com, what repository is this? [21:32] Hello, there! since uprgranding to Lucid Linx I can no longer have my laptop's display switched off with the following script lines >> DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xset dpms force off <<; actually, it works for a few seconds [under a minute or so] and then the display becomes only dimmed [no images are put back on it: but it is not switched off! another curious thing: I have a cron job that uses that very same script and runs it ev [21:32] How do I kill conky? [21:32] main? universe? restricted? multiverse? medibuntu? what else? [21:32] And How do I set where a conky window will be displayed [21:32] I have the system testing window open here and it's running continuously without stopping, how do I crash it? [21:32] Purpley: killall conky, or 'xkill' then click it [21:32] benkay86, yes i upagrade from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4 and then my grub messsed i had to fix it with live cd now i realised weeks ago that i can't go to windows [21:32] howdy folks [21:32] can I create an access point in my notebook running lucid?

For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [21:33] still can't join #android [21:33] Purpley: settings are in the config, give me the link again; you can align top right left etc and set x and y offsets [21:33] Arsanerit: My google foo tells me acroread-plugin has been deprecated by acroread + mozplugger. Have you already tried that? [21:34] Hey! Does anyone know how to make usb-automounted devices available for all users? [21:34] VCoolio, To what? [21:34] benkay86: No, it didn't show up in my googling [21:34] subspider: OK, so it sounds like the Windows boot stopped working after your upgrade. Can you verify that your Windows partition is /dev/sda1? [21:34] ooo, Grub problems [21:34] benkay86, yes give me a minute [21:34] benkay86: thanks for the pointer, I'll try [21:34] i had to deal with that a few times [21:35] grub problems are always interesting XD [21:35] LMAO === shadowdxs is now known as ShadowDXS [21:35] there we go [21:35] always an absolute pain to fix too :P [21:35] Purpley: never mind; use "alignment top_left" for example, and "gap_x XX" and "gap_y XX" where XX is pixels [21:36] Purpley: replace or add these settings above "TEXT" in the config file [21:36] As long as we're on grub problems, has anyone else had issues with non-zero values of GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT not being honored? I'm about to report a bug on this... [21:36] Kinda broke my xorg.conf, got a netbook Asus EEE 1101HA without cd-drive so can only use usb. Can I get in somehow and just fix my xorg.conf? [21:36] Hey! Does anyone know how to make usb-automounted devices available for all users? [21:36] skalman: have you installed the graphics drivers? [21:37] Hello, When I was using Karmic, boot process continues with routine fsck is running in background (unless it is checking root or home), now this is not happening in Lucid, I have to wait till fsck finishes then boot continues. Any ideas? [21:37] ChogyDan: Yeah, I only get a blank screen when I boot it up, cant click anything (ctrl alt f1 etc), not even caps lock will activate. [21:37] benkay86: it works, thanks. One problem with googling is the vast amount of /outdated/ information available on the internet... [21:37] hmm [21:38] Why can grub boot from a hdd that the kernel can't access due to errors? hanging when loading modules .et [21:38] Very well [21:38] etc [21:38] benkay86, http://pastie.org/982390 [21:38] skalman: well, you should be able to delete xorg.conf I think. (I just happened to help someone a little with a 1101ha this morning!) [21:38] do0ob: grub might have its own kernel [21:38] do0ob: thanks [21:38] hi, is there a desktop app that will gimme a profile of all my systems hardware [21:38] what error are you getting? (IE what number is it showing?)@do0ob [21:38] Can I install 10.04 with a seperate ext4 boot partition? [21:38] like, video card, CPU(s), mem, disk, etc? [21:38] there use to be one..

Since I only get the blank screen and cant use anything. I tried to boot up with the usb-flash-thingy but dosent seems like I can access my installation. :/ [21:39] bye folks.. thanks for all help.

[21:41] skalman: have you tried alt+sysrq+k? also, you should be able to access your install through the places menu (when booting from the usb), just open up the correct drive [21:41] Hey! Does anyone know how to make usb-automounted devices available for all users? [21:41] ShadowDXS: 10.04 just hangs, i don't know how to debug it, the versoin i had on an old hdd had this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/256637 [21:41] are you trying to install 10.04? [21:41] ShadowDXS: yes [21:41] i had the same thing [21:42] I was install Ubuntu on my USB Disk and instal grub on my notbook disk , on secend disk i have a windows [21:42] ShadowDXS: what laptop do you have? [21:42] Anything to try on a GNU/Linux box without internet-connection that doesn't seem to discover external harddrive? [21:42] but there is good news [21:42] Hey! Does anyone know how to make usb-automounted devices available for all users? [21:42] i have a MacBook Pro [21:42] subspider: Yes, you have a Windows parition at /dev/sda. But I'm seeing Windows partitions at /dev/sda5 and /dev/sda6 as well. If the parition you want to boot from is /dev/sda5 but grub is trying to boot from /dev/sda1, that would account for your problem. [21:42] ShadowDXS: you worked around it? [21:42] but this happed with a HP and a Sony [21:42] yes [21:42] i have a old hp [21:42] its not that hard [21:42] when i disconnect USB Disk i have a error in grub [21:42] hi Yall. mySQL on lucid server wont start ???

[21:44] @shadow: i mean when u plug one in, the system mounts it [21:44] subspider: And three Windows partitions. It's possible one of them is empty, and if that one is /dev/sda1, it would explain why nothing happens when you boot that partition. [21:44] benkay86, one of then is to store importante data [21:45] subspider: If you're sure Windows is present on /dev/sda1, you could try manually editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg to be more minimalistic. See changes at http://pastebin.com/GmKFwdst [21:45] but if you log on to another user it wont Mount? [21:45] ChogyDan: Bah, alt+sysrq+k helped, thanks alot. Really. Have a nice evening!

[21:50] can anyone help me to configure xchat using pidgin..if any one using or having tried it before. [21:50] Exxon: are xchat and pidgin similar? [21:50] Exxon: do you mean IRC for pidgin?

Anyone willing to help me troubleshoot. On the storage server, they show in the filesystem as 4.0K blocks. [21:54] frxstrem: Just add the user option in /etc/fstab [21:54] ipauldev: check the inodes [21:54] Exxon what you mean is probably called irc, not xhcat === Guest81876 is now known as evilchazz [21:55] where can I find error/crashes log file ? [21:55] Exxon in pidgin, goto: accounts - manage accounts - add - protocol: IRC [21:55] Pantora: Oh, wow. His question makes infinitely more sense now! [21:55] benkay86: but wouldn't I have to actually mount something in fstab to do that? (I want a directory to mount ISO files in, you see, and they shouldn't be mounted on startup) [21:55] Okay, so I can hear audio when I hit "test" in my sound settings in 10.04, but not in any other program. Through a USB headset, by the way. Any ideas on how to fix? [21:55] trying.. [21:55] Exxon fill out the gaps - that should do it [21:56] b0nn: I've googled all over for inodes, I don't know what I can do to "check the inodes" if you don't mind any suggestions. [21:56] Hey! Anyone knows how to make mounted usb-devices accessible for all users? [21:56] frxstrem: The noauto option would prevent whatever you're trying to mount from being mounted at startup. The user option would allow non-root users to perform the mount (i.e. without sudo). [21:56] benkay86, nope it's not working i will try to load vista [21:56] NCS_One usually they are /var/log , unless otherwise specified by the package or the user [21:56] server : irc.ubuntu.com [21:56] benkay86: okay, thanks ;) [21:57] hi, Ubuntu 10.04 can "see" my Delta 1010LT audio card but I can hear no sound [21:57] Sensiva: ok, thanks [21:57] ipauldev: df -i; [21:57] benkay86 never mind, i was just explaining the steps... and wanted to add some background knowledge [21:57] Hey!

[21:58] Anyone not using an nvidia or ati vid card can share their xorg.conf or know of a gui for intel drivers [21:59] Okay, so I can hear audio when I hit "test" in my sound settings in 10.04, but not in any other program. Through a USB headset, by the way. Any ideas on how to fix? [21:59] my ubuntu freezes in the middle of load or some times it goes till login but if I do the login it freezes. Any ideas? [21:59] kerebrus: I'm using an intel card. My xorg.conf is nonexistent, since you shouldn't need one in Lucid. [21:59] benkay86: u know the config files to look in? [21:59] benkay86 im using 10.04 which version is lucid? [21:59] MIRanda_swe: Sorry, not offhand. Google is your friend. [22:00] neither my audio works :( [22:00] kerebrus: 10.04 = lucid [22:00] benkay86: ty! [22:00] kerebrus: look in the xorg log [22:00] anyone care to help me with my theme for linux? [22:00] neither 9.06 or 10.04 or 10.04 LTS work. When I go to monitor its not supported and doesnt have any refresh rate so videos are choppy. [22:01] im a little stomped [22:01] Christos what are you trying to do? [22:01] MIRanda_swe: FYI if you just want to set that up for a particular drive (and not every USB drive you plug in) you could just add an entry to /etc/fstab. [22:01] trism, b0nn, interesting, df -i reports 1503238528 inodes, but df -m reports 7339904 1M-blocks [22:01] hi, what can I do, if in xchat the topic line inst colored? [22:02] Okay, so I can hear audio when I hit "test" in my sound settings in 10.04, but not in any other program. Through a USB headset, by the way. Any ideas on how to fix? [22:02] robin0800 where is the xorg log located? [22:02] Anyone happen to get the Logitech Webcam C120m to work on 10.04? [22:03] benkay86: yeah, been doing that but sort of trying to make this work for every usb-drive i attach [22:03] isn't it possible to mount stuff in your own home directory? [22:03] how to lookup my isp's ip and host name ? [22:03] strace -e statfs df -m reports {f_type=0xff534d42, f_bsize=4096, f_blocks=1879015417, f_bfree=1876902922, f_bavail=1876902922, f_files=1503238528, f_ffree=1503229183, f_fsid={0, 0}, f_namelen=4096, f_frsize=4096} - so that seems correct, still odd that it shows as storing files as 1MB instead of 4096b [22:04] frxstrem, sure is [22:04] kerebrus: use the log file viewer in admin [22:04] frxstrem: to who? [22:04] giridhar: go to some what's my ip address site [22:04] MIRanda_swe: Here's some documentation about setting the noatime mount option on removable devices with hal.

Does anyone have experience with running Mame in Ubuntu (10.04)?? [22:06] dotech [22:06] i know [22:06] oh [22:06] subspider: OK, so no matter which Windows partition you try to boot with grub, you are left with a blinking cursor. Is that correct? [22:06] but it is unable to connect connecting [22:06] kerebrus: you need Xorg.0.log [22:07] robin0800 and what am I looking for in these log files? I assume some form of error [22:07] i tried to get the certificate and i failed [22:07] how to register to the nickserv?

[22:09] ok sorry [22:09] hrm, odd. My update-manager seems to be trying to use a proxy, even though the only proxy I've ever used was set in gnome and now disabled. Synaptic's preferences have it set to use a direct connection. Where would I find that setting for update-manager to correct this? [22:09] ipauldev: fsck is for filesystems, with cifs you're not accessing a filesystem [22:09] Docteh: ty [22:09] robin0800 X.Org Video Driver: 6.0 is all im seeing [22:09] i tried to put the name it wants but what i have is 2 ip`s [22:09] the public ip and my private ip of the office pc [22:10] "remote viewer" is a remote desktop client? [22:10] remote desktop viewer [22:10] lol forgot to disable network manager on a diskless workstation [22:11] subspider: You've got me. I can't find any open bugs against the grub chainloader, and its unlikely that *both* of your Windows partitions somehow got corrupted. All I can think of now is manually entering the boot sequence from the grub commandline, but that's unlikely to produce different results... [22:11] my problem is i can not install the vpn certificate on ubuntu [22:11] robin0800 No driver listed. Thats why im trying to set one in xorg.conf [22:11] bburhans: did you turn off the proxy after your last system boot? [22:11] I have a p4 3Ghz 1g ram pc, I presume people would expect it to run suitably for full screen youtube videos? [22:12] g-me: depends if you're using a proper video driver or not [22:12] Docteh: I almost never reboot, actually, but turn it on and off often without rebooting. === paulo is now known as pauloricardo === pauloricardo is now known as PauloRicardo [22:12] i already try the manual way benkay86 [22:13] Docteh: thanks for the reply. With being new to ubuntu how can I tell? its 10.04 and has intel onboard graphics [22:13] kerebrus: next step going to be google or intel i think [22:13] and the resulkt are the same benkay86 [22:13] g-me: drag a window around and see if it looks slow to redraw [22:13] robin0800 ive been all thru the forums and google isnt much help thats why im looking for a xorg to compare to [22:13] a big window, not a tiny xeyes [22:13] Docteh: update manager gives something like this: W: Failed to fetch http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/jaunty/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 Could not connect to localhost:8080 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [22:13] Anyone know how to get K3b to burn Mp3s? [22:14] Docteh: no idea where to set a proxy for that, though. I have no /etc/apt/apt.conf [22:14] Doctech: no, not quite smooth. [22:14] Docteh: it seems to be using the system-wide gnome proxy even though I don't have it enabled. :/ [22:14] FYI its a DC7100 [22:14] It seems a little odd that a bloody CD burner program wouldn't come with the ability to burn MP3s... [22:14] kerebrus: don't use intel so can't help further [22:14] bburhans: proxys are usually configured via shell variables, open terminal, set|grep torp [22:15] subspider: So, either the issue is with grub's ability to chainload or the boot sector on the target partition. One way to tell where the problem is would be to install grub to the bootsector of a linux partition and then chainload to it from grub on the mbr. If that's possible, then your Windows partitions are corrupt. [22:15] hey all, anyone know of a way to change my computer's name? (I've tried adding the new name to /etc/HOSTNAME at no avail) [22:15] robin0800 I know neither do I, I normally use nvidia but putting it on my dads comp so he can try it out. everything works great but the vid [22:15] wtfness: did you reboot after that? [22:15] wtfness: I think you need to edit a few more file, including /etc/hosts. [22:15] ok benkay86 now you talk chinese [22:16] Docteh: yup [22:16] wtfness: also isn't it lower case typically, not sure on ubuntu [22:16] Docteh: There are no env variables set that contain "torp" or "proxy" at all, case-insensitive. [22:16] kerebrus: do you have the graphic vcard number? [22:16] bburhans: kill update manager and run it from that prompt and see if you have the same problems [22:16] (on an unrelated note, why the hell does "uname -p" say "unknown" hehe) [22:16] subspider: LOL, but yeah, grub problems suck.

Every other connection works fine; I use ssh with corkscrew disabled, firefox which inherits GNOME's proxy settings, etc. [22:18] Docteh: and aptitude and apt-get themselves work fine [22:18] Docteh: it seems to only be the update manager...

I'm about to do some stupid things to one of my machines. RAID1, so I thought I'd fail the primary mirror (sda1) and work on the other. If I succeed I could just bring the primary back online again to sync them and everything will be well, right? But what if I screw up? How can I make sure that the machine boots on the primary and then use that to overwrite the bad (secondary) drive? I assume that I could [23:58] <__-osh-__> boot from a rescue disc, enable the primary, fail the secondary and then boot the machine. Is that the proper procedure? [23:59] anyone ever find a fix for the poor guality in video streaming? [23:59] is ndiswrapper preinstalled into ubuntu... or would I have to go about downloading it? [23:59] quality* === evilchazz is now known as Chazz [23:59] when you install prepare your wireless driver for win.. cd or whatever and when you open ndis system-administration-wireless drivers point to your wireless driver .INF file [23:59] eln1no, it already has usa as the selection. When I try to enter the keys that are not working I still don't see them print as i type. any other solutions? [23:59] no it is not installed default [23:59] <__-osh-__> adamror: ndiswrapper? Is that still needed? I heard about that some 5 years ago. Not recently.
