[01:01] about janitor, ones i used that [01:01] but [01:02] use "sudo apt-get clean" rather than manually deleting files [01:02] delete sotf already installed [01:03] PanchoBrujo: you dual booting? have more space available on your hdd? [01:03] noup [01:03] what desktop search utility is a good choice for xubuntu 10.4? I'm looking for something equivalent to spotlight on the Mac [01:03] 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. [01:03] Further info: this is what fglrxinfo outputs: Hi all, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with an ATI Radeon HD 5570.

[01:04] T`_, "find" is millions of times better than spotlight [01:04] so has there been any headway on streaming video quality in ubuntu?

[01:04] look tune up utilities on windows delete old entries, software already delete, free up disk space [01:04] DjDark: I have no issues with streaming quality, are you using 32 or 64 bit and what Video card? [01:04] an stuuf [01:04] stuff* [01:05] PlasmaSheep, if you are talking about the commandline tool find, that is not comparable to spotlight.. its like comparing oranges to apples [01:05] acerimmer_, PanchoBrujo: theres a system clean tool included on ubuntu period, no need for ubuntu tweak [01:05] acerimmer_, PanchoBrujo: its called Computer Janitor, if i remember right [01:05] T`_, how is it not comparable? [01:05] yup? [01:05] maco: true [01:05] PanchoBrujo: If you use apt to remove software there shouldn't be anything left, and clean will remove anything left oer [01:05] :S [01:05] ok [01:05] 32 bit system with intel 865g onboard graphics [01:05] PanchoBrujo: ubuntu isnt like windows. it cleans up after itself [01:05] PlasmaSheep, because find on mac is the same as find on ubuntu. we are talking about 'spotlight' equivalent which does metadata and content search [01:05] Redache: well actually there'll be config files leftover unless you purge [01:05] PanchoBrujo: are you running out of disk space or something?? [01:05] what would be the grub 2 entry to boot lilo? [01:05] PlasmaSheep, w/an index.. [01:06] T`_, I clearly have no idea what spotlight is [01:06] * PlasmaSheep slinks away [01:06] aah.. nvm then.. heh [01:06] maco: But config files won't be a massive space drain [01:06] PanchoBrujo: and the filesystem never needs defragmenting either [01:06] !xorg [01:06] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [01:15] My question: what is the general purpose of PHP? I want to make a server to connect to to chat with co-workers, so should I have PHP as a part of apache? [01:16] redache: ... um... how would i do that... [01:16] dont see "startup apps" under system:prefs [01:16] Aperture: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a more appropriate place to ask [01:16] cowguru2000: In System - Preferences - Appearance - Visual Effects [01:17] redache: already disabled [01:17] cowguru2000: Have you got the proprietary drivers installed? [01:17] I don't think the Open Source Drivers have 3D support for the 5xxx series cards [01:17] nvm. "sessions preferences" is what i needed ty [01:17] redache: i installed them off the ATI website [01:18] redache: it's called Catalyst i believe... i don't have the synaptic proprietary though [01:18] Aperture: PHP is for "server side scripting", try a web search, there are plenty of tutorials. People in #web will know more. [01:18] alright. [01:18] cowguru2000: It's best to try and use the restricted drivers manager as they are officially supported drivers for Ubuntu [01:18] redache: although, when i went to Hardware Drivers administration, it says the ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver is enabled and "working" [01:19] I planned to use "Guppy", and it wants me to 'connect to a network'...would I just set up an apache web server on my old computer and connect via there? How would I go about that? [01:19] redache: so i have both installed... ??? [01:19] cowguru2000: Try disabling the drivers in hardware drivers [01:19] and restart and see if that makes a difference [01:20] redache: i'm trying that, i'll be back after reboot [01:20] so how does one check HDD integrity with no file system? [01:20] redache: if of course it still doesn't work :D [01:20] how can I change the groups (users is a group)? [01:20] kzman: System->Admin->Users & Groups [01:20] kzman, there is a groups file located in /etc/groups [01:21] does anyone know of any icon packs with hard drive icons that look like this or simular ? http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/4100000/Iron-Man-Screencaps-iron-man-4118113-664-274.jpg heres another http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/4100000/Iron-Man-Screencaps-iron-man-4117900-664-274.jpg [01:21] /etc/group [01:21] !themes | chrometiger [01:21] chrometiger: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [01:21] Aperture: I don't know about that app, but https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/web-servers.html is a guide to setting up a web server, including php [01:21] !emerald [01:21] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [01:21] hmm [01:21] tsimpson: I was following this guide, is it ok? http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies [01:22] !lamp [01:22] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:23] I'm using netbook remix for this lamp installation...it's still fine, right? [01:23] what's mysql good for besides running sam broadcaster [01:23] How would you back out of 10.04 to 9.10 [01:23] Aperture: except for the part where the guide says "sudo gedit", which should be "gksudo gedit", it should work [01:23] 10.04 seems to be very beta [01:23] Aperture: Netbook edition is the same ubuntu core with a few packages running on top of it. [01:24] radicaljoe: o [01:24] tsimpson: so noted [01:24] radicaljoe, full reinstall [01:24] LinuxGuy2009: so I can use netbook edition instead of server edition, correct? [01:24] radicaljoe: Does that mean you need help? [01:24] radicaljoe: You'd have to reinstall 9.10 as there is a method to downgrade packages but it's not safe way to do things [01:24] bazhang:I can do that. Uggg [01:24] Aperture: You can run any app in the ubuntu repos on any flavor of ubuntu. [01:25] Sounds good. Thank you. [01:26] ubuntu 8.04 vs. 9.10 ? [01:26] Does anybody here have vdpau/mplayer working in Lucid 10.4? There's no mplayer in the 10.4 nvidia-vdpau repositories, and I get a bad dependency when I use the Karmic ones.

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:27] DjDark: 8.04 is an LTS and 9.10 was a normal release. Basically it. [01:27] IdleOne, - how it goes? [01:27] hi, any one could assist me, i just got a server up, ubuntu 9, and whenever i try o extract a tar i get an error, while it worked before i re-isntall the OS [01:27] tar: This does not look like a tar archive [01:27] So weird, trying to boot of the USB... works but then leaves me at a strange prompt. But I used unetbootin and all went well with it. [01:27] dot: Perhaps you have a corrupt archive? [01:28] trying to determine whether an upgrade from 8.04 is worth the hassle [01:28] evening aLL [01:28] hi [01:28] DjDark: 8.04 to what?

However, before I could log in, Ubuntu notified me that it was running in "low graphics mode." I'm fairly certain that the Catalyst proprietary driver IS working, by the absence of window "stuttering." Now, how do I convince Ubuntu that it's running in full graphics mode, and that it shouldn't give me that prompt every time? [01:33] DjDark: You could search LaunchPad.net for it and try and see or download the live CD and try before you install. [01:34] So what is my real ip address to be using for MySQL? The one on whatismyip.com, or the one on the ifconfig in the wlan0 section? [01:34] hi, I'm trying to use the awesome window manager, but I can't seem to connect to the internet. can anyone help? [01:34] test [01:34] tried already but had the problem where the monitor goes to standby when trying to load live [01:34] kbar: Do you have a network manager installed? [01:35] you mean the nm applet? [01:35] so i'll try with the alt install cd [01:35] cowguru2000: I'm not sure, If it's not breaking anything then you might have to just live with it. Sorry I can't be more help [01:35] Redache: that's alright, thanks!! you were a huge help [01:35] Hi all, how do I convince Ubuntu that it's running in standard graphics mode? It tells me I'm running in "low graphics mode" but the graphics look fine. [01:35] LinuxGuy2009, do you mean the nm applet mentioned inhttp://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Nm-applet? [01:35] DjDark: If the live CD doesnt work then you may not have the minimum requirements or there may be an issue for your hardware, [01:36] cowguru2000 when you start ubuntu, are you starting it while it's connected to the monitor and the monitor is turned on? [01:36] 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. [01:36] kbar: Well there are others, thats the default for gnome. [01:36] drake2k:.... yes... [01:36] LinuxGuy2009: noted and thanks. i'll attempt install on my spare partition first :D [01:37] DjDark: Very good. Good luck with that. [01:37] LinuxGuy2009, I followed the wiki for that, and still getting nothing [01:37] cowguru2000 I had to ask because I was running a server from ubuntu desktop and would have the problem if I rebooted without hooking up the monitor. Now I just runt he server edition so don't have to worry about it. As to your issue, I'm not sure there. Does it do the same thing when (if tested) you boot from a live cd? [01:38] Will this get fixed in lucid or will I have to wait for the next one? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compizconfig-settings-manager/+bug/146736 [01:38] kbar: Are you running a session with just awesome window manager? Or are you using it with gnome or something else? [01:38] LinuxGuy2009, Im using just awesome [01:38] well right now I'm on gnome to talk to you, but when I boot into awesome I boot into pure awesome [01:39] Anyone familiar with samba sharing? [01:39] anyone know how to make a drive run in the background instead of stop the boot process? Root and /home im cool with waiting on, but my backup drive stops the boot process [01:39] kbar: Ok your probably gonna wanna checkout how to start networking with that cause Ive never used it. I know there are some network things like the gnome network manager for use with other environments and stuff. [01:40] drake2k:... X just restarted. [01:40] drake2k: that's why I got kicked off. there are issues heh [01:40] cowguru2000 no worries [01:40] LinuxGuy2009, what do you use? [01:40] drake2k: do you think x restarted because it detected my driver? [01:41] kbar: Gnome mostly but when I want a lean machine, fluxbox is nice. [01:41] thanks LinuxGuy2009 [01:41] kbar: wicd man [01:41] wicd [01:41] you mean man wicd? [01:41] know [01:41] no* [01:41] kbar: Maybe give LXDE a try, its very light and very fast? [01:41] damnit, haha [01:41] Hi again, I am having errors using make - https://login.launchpad.net/9j2wZgmmWFMb2MX9/+decide - any ideas? [01:41] GSF1200S, theres no man for wicd [01:42] give wicd a try- it can be run from a curses interface [01:42] kbar^ [01:42] cowguru2000 Honestly not sure. It doesn't seem like it should just restart on it's own without a warning even if it detected something new.

[01:42] LinuxGuy2009, too much stuff in lxde, i need a minimalist desktop [01:42] another words, you can connect to wireless and ethernet networks from a terminal- even allows wpa access and everything [01:42] drake2k: hmmmmmmm alright well thanks for trying [01:42] cowguru2000 I'm not sure if you answered this or not since there was a bit of scroll before you d/c. Have you tried it from a live cd? [01:43] drake2k: no, i was too lazy before but now i will [01:43] cowguru2000 that would at least rule out hardware issue if it works fine. [01:43] Anyone happen to get the Logitech Webcam C120m to work on 10.04? [01:44] astrojp I have a logitec webcam, not sure what model, works fine for me. [01:44] astrojp: Cheese doesn't see that model huh? [01:44] astrojp: Has it worked on previous Ubuntu releases? [01:44] astrojp wait...don't listen to me.

I've managed to log in using a live CD, mount the LVM, edit the /etc/network/interfaces file, get my server right back up and running again. Now it doesn't seem to be connecting to the network at all. [01:50] I installed Ubuntu 10.04 in a new partition. Now I want to delete the windows partition without screwing up the boot. Can I do that/ [01:50] how do I change the keyboard device used during bios? Every since installing a razer naga mouse, the computer only responds to the number pad functions found on the mouse (side buttons 1-12), however the keyboard does not have any input. How can I change this? [01:50] Once you said LVM I was lost... :( [01:51] I already have nvidia-current installed... [01:51] mr_bag: Try setting them both to lower resolutions and see if they keep the same. Maybe its a lack of enough video memory or something if the resolutions are too high. Depends on the video card too. [01:51] Astroe: is ubuntu dual booting or wubi booting? [01:51] That bit isn't too important, drake2k - It's setting up the right interfaces file that won't stop my server booting on restart but will let me connect to the network/internet [01:51] acerimmer_: Dual booting with windows 7 [01:51] Grr...I am never going to get my resolution fixed lol [01:52] Astroe, You'll need to boot from the Live CD and then use GParted [01:52] LinuxGuy2009, - how it goes ? [01:52] Sk_Lg: Could be an issue with hardware that only has proprietary OS drivers only and hardware may not have extra button functionality. Just a guess. [01:52] Ken1 maybe you could post the lines in question from your interfaces to see if maybe myself or someone can spot something. [01:52] Chakan95: no, thought you had installed the driver from nvidia.com [01:53] hiexpo: Hi there! [01:53] NinoScript: Won't that mess up how it boots up? I read that windows does the booting since it was installed first.. [01:53] hello sir, how to intsall fonts on ubuntu? [01:53] sanjay: use synaptic or software center [01:53] sanjay: Are you running 10.04? [01:53] ARGGG! [01:53] I did everything the same way I had for the previous Ubuntu version and I was able to 1,400x900 resolution just fine back then [01:53] sanjay: or .fonts should work [01:53] LinuxGuy2009:Yes Sir [01:53] Astroe, Are you using just GRUB? or the windows bootloader starts grub first? [01:53] LinuxGuy2009, - downloading debian wow what a big download 20 gigs total [01:54] shiver me timbers [01:54] sanjay: Have a look in the software center there is a fonts category. ;) [01:54] ok, in preferences - sound, i have "Sound Capture: USB Audio" [01:54] NinoScript: The windows bootloader runs grub. [01:54] acerimmer_:lol..gudmorning..thank u sir [01:54] DjDark: Is it working? [01:54] not working with audacity either [01:54] Excluding comments, my /etc/network/interfaces file looks like: [01:54] auto lo [01:54] iface lo inet loopback [01:54] auto eth0 [01:54] iface eth0 inet static [01:54] address 192.168.1.66 [01:54] Ken1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:54] netmask 255.255.255.0 [01:54] sanjay: no prob sanjay. good luck getting it just right [01:54] sorry Floodbot1 I didn't know [01:55] Question: Samba is installed, running, no problems. USB terabyte is mounted as /dev/sdb1 /media/store ntfs 0 0 in my fstab. Changes to my smb.conf have allowed me to be able to share that drive all over my network. Great, Perfect. So now what I want to do is limit this. I don't want ALL the directorys on the root of sdb1 to be viewable. I only want three directories. Music, Videos, Storage. The rest of it needs to hide away. Any [01:55] suggestions? [01:55] DjDark: Did you check to see if the volume mixer needs to have the gain adjusted for the mic? Not sure if audacity needs that set or not, [01:55] LinuxGuy2009: Hmm, could be somthing do do with that "/ am i right in assuming the recommeded gfx driver in the hardware manger bit is the latest as it lacks a version no? (wondering if switching between them would help) [01:55] LinuxGuy2009: Thank you, i'll check in the bios/then both OS [01:55] thanks to all... its working!!! thank u so much..I am very new to ubuntu.. so please expect moe disturbances to all of u!!! [01:56] Astroe, you could delete windows with gparted, resize the partition, and just in case, reinstall grub [01:56] There is an advanced Smbconf tool, Drake2k [01:56] great job sanjay. :) [01:56] I forgot to mention I'm using Ubuntu server, no GUI. :) [01:56] mr_bag: I would use whichever one is stated as recomended for starters and go from there. [01:56] If i'm correct, Drake2k, I think you can set specific directories for.. [01:56] Oh. [01:56] hehe [01:56] usb device isnt an option under audacity's prefs... [01:57] Drake2k Try using webmin - I'm a big fan. Unfortunately, Samba doesn't play nice with the 10.04 server. [01:57] NinoScript: See, that sounds like it might work. But I don't know how to install Grub [01:57] 10.04 seems to have taken a few steps forward and a few backwards. [01:57] Yes, it has messed up resolution detection [01:57] All the others did it automatically [01:57] Ken1 ooh...webmin.... I totally forgot about that. Is it auto-installed with Samba or do I need to apt-get that separately? [01:57] Astroe, neither do I, but let's check what google says :D [01:57] You need to install it, unfortunately. [01:57] DjDark: May not be a suported peice of hardware possibly. Not sure. [01:57] NinoScript, lol sounds like a plan [01:58] DjDark: I wonder if its class compliant. [01:58] Drake2k you need to install it - but be careful if you're using the latest 10.04 server because there are some minor issues. [01:58] !webmin | Ken1 [01:58] Ken1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [01:58] Ken1 you've pointed me in a great direction. Tyvm. now...about that interfaces issue.... :) [01:58] Any suggestions on compiling error http://paste.ubuntu.com/441135/ [01:58] niot that i can get IDJC or sam broadcaster to connect to my servers anyways [01:58] Ken1 did you get that message from floodbot about paste.ubuntu.com? [01:58] Thank you for that, durt. that's good to know. Drake2, see the comment from ubottu. Maybe try !ebox instead? [01:58] not* [01:59] I did, Drake2k. [01:59] ebox? [01:59] Astroe, OR! if you have little stuff in ubuntu… just do a fresh install :) [01:59] My Interfaces file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441143/ [01:59] !webmin | Drake2k [01:59] Drake2k: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [01:59] Hello everyone!!! How can i do to make GRUB recognize the type of the filesystem (ext3) of a partition to boot from it again? actually that partition has ext3 filesystem and GRUB into it, but after some repair maintenance with fsck GRUB presents an Error 17 :( (btw, I don't want to lose the data formating as ext3 that partition) [01:59] ahhh I see it, thank you Ken1 & ubottu [01:59] NinoScript: I wanted to do that but the only reason I started by dual booting was so I could save the hundred gigs or so of media I had in windows. [02:00] hello [02:00] Here's what I found with google... http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html#mozTocId842078 [02:00] Drake2k, It was actually Durt who pointed the ebox information out to me [02:00] Hello folks, has anyone been able to install irssi on ubuntu 10.04? I try via command line and I'm unable to. I do "sudo apt-get irssi" [02:00] ubottu ty [02:00] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:00] 没有 [02:00] Is there a way via CLI to identify what kind of security my wifi adapter supports? [02:00] can possible malware on my linux partition affect my windows partition? [02:00] chatter is confusing to me, I gotta keep my eyes out for the red letters. :) Ken1 ubottu [02:00] Julian_ maybe try using the software centre to install IRSSI. [02:00] DjDark, passibly if you're using it though wine. [02:01] I'm going to take a look at !ebox. [02:01] afk [02:01] 中文呢？ [02:01] ubottu grub! [02:01] !ubottu grub [02:01] will be a dual-boot durt [02:01] !ebox | drake2k [02:01] drake2k: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

I read somewhere that it was already supposed to be installed w/ Ubuntu [02:02] julian_: what are trying to install? [02:02] mdg: He's trying to install IRSSI [02:02] irssi for internet relay chat in command line [02:02] DjDark, we'll for one there is no malware for linux that I am aware of, and if you don't mount the windows drive there should be no problem [02:02] Astroe, wait… you have data on your windows partition? if it's like that, you won't want to remove the partition with gparted :O [02:02] if he can get to a terminal just type "sudo apt-get install irssi" and give password [02:02] julian_: Not sure if it's any help but.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi [02:03] julian_: You may also have tried this, but did you open up the terminal and type "Irssi" to see what happens? [02:03] any ideas on this error during compiling - /home/kevin/sierra/sierra_net.c:1477: error: ‘FLAG_WWAN’ undeclared here (not in a function) [02:03] julian_: you know how to irssi? [02:03] NinoScript: I transferred all the important stuff over to Ubuntu already. [02:04] Yes Ken1, it doesn't recognize irssi [02:04] julian_: do 'sudo apt-get install irssi' [02:04] julian_: sudo apt-get install irssi [02:04] hi [02:04] xin chao [02:04] NinoScript: Now I just need to delete the Windows partiton so I can use my whole drive for ubuntu [02:04] co ai ko [02:04] DjDark, also if you stick to only software from the offical repositories you should be double safe [02:04] st f u [02:04] julian_: If sudo apt-get install Irssi isn't working maybe you should check that you're connecting to the right repositories. [02:04] I tried that and it says package irssi is not available. [02:05] anyone know how to get a wacom bamboo working? [02:05] julian_: what version of ubuntu have you installed? 10.04? [02:05] I tried it on my own just now, 10.04 - Ubuntu Desktop. It installed fine. [02:06] julian_: are you chatting to us on the same computer you are trying to install irssi on? [02:06] hi all [02:06] yes mdg [02:06] julian_:I tried it on my own just now, 10.04 - Ubuntu Desktop. It installed fine. - (Apologies for the repetition, I really need to learn IRC etiquette) [02:06] What repositories should I look into? [02:06] Astroe, just an idea: fresh install on the windows partition, so it automatically fixes bootloader stuff, and correctly installs grub, then move stuff, delete old linux partition, merge [02:06] Hmm... [02:06] julian_: was your root password recognized when you used "sudo apt-get install irssi" [02:06] julian_: Ubuntu Main as far as I understand it. [02:07] Astroe, I think it would take more time, but less effort [02:07] anyone know how to get a wacom bamboo working in karmic? [02:07] Yes, I've added a repository, lets see if that works [02:07] julian_: you shouldn't have to do that [02:07] NinoScript: Ugh, that sound like a lot of work. I've already migrated all the files. It took three hours. I think I'm just gonna try reinstalling the grub from the live CD. I'll let ya know how it goes :p [02:07] That's what I thought Zeike. [02:08] julian_, 'irssi' is all lower case. [02:08] Can anyone check to see if my /etc/network/interfaces has any problems - after a restart my server wouldn't boot, I edited it to match the following and managed to boot again but now I can't seem to get connected to the network: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441143/ [02:08] julian_: are you the administrator? Maybe you need to change privileges for installing ? [02:09] yeah, i did notice the "Canonical-supported Open source" wasn't checked. I checked it and that seemed to work. [02:09] hey if I install UBUNTU ONTo a second drive will it affect the mbr or the boot loader of the my windows drive? [02:09] how can i bridge my wirless network to my wired network (ex. I have a laptop which can recieve wifi trying to give the internet to a desktop wired only) [02:09] Thanks all!

[02:09] !interfaces | ken1 [02:10] brandon__: I think you will need a cable from the laptop to the desktop as it sounds like the desktop has no wifi adapter, or buy a USB adapter [02:10] Capcap does wacom have any drivers for linux? === horndog_ is now known as horndog [02:11] I can't believe it.. [02:11] I know what the problem is. [02:11] Mostly, I'm an idiot. [02:12] lol, thats how all problems are solved, [02:12] lol [02:12] I didn't include a Gateway address. Of course it's not going to connect. [02:12] you find out most of the time they;re retardedly simple, that you overlooked [02:12] ElementalWarrior: yes, there are some in synaptic but they didnt do anything, and i found one from their site (linked to sourceforge) but i cant figure out the instructions. im not a programmer, im not good with the terminal, i just want my tablet to work [02:12] I.. I'm surprised I can even feed myself. [02:12] send me a link [02:12] Ken1, I know what you mean [02:12] Boy, that's embarrassing. [02:13] Ken1: we've all been there [02:13] ElementalWarrior: http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ [02:14] also in my attempts to get it working my mouse stopped working... any advice there? [02:14] drake2k: Thanks, I'll try a Linux Mint Live CD and see if it recognizes it. [02:14] brandon__ not sure how you setup laptop to send internet out eth0... [02:15] ouch, umm lol did you try replugging it in, or restarting can help lol [02:15] yes [02:15] hmm [02:15] hello [02:15] im on a laptop and my touchpad still works so im not out of commission, just frustrated [02:15] !welcome | orikon [02:15] orikon: Hi!

[02:17] 32 [02:18] does wine open you up to win virus if si "how bad" there is no reg [02:19] This day is conspiring against me. [02:19] Ken1: no luck? [02:19] Guest I seriously doubt it, linux has a totally different filesystem and binary structure lol [02:20] Unfortunately not, mgd. I've added in the gateway and it's reacting differently but I can't connect - I can't ping google, for example. [02:20] well Capcap I can't compile that either, so try to look for an already built version [02:20] mgd: I'm going to try remaking the entire file and hope for the best. [02:20] Ken1: firewall? [02:20] i dont know what to look for... [02:21] anyone no if I can look at hidden files on my iphone in 10.04 [02:21] but ok thanks for trying [02:21] mgd: That's what i'm thinking although I had it working before. [02:21] Ken1: are you on wifi or ethernet? [02:21] hey capcap found this [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver [02:21] I think that should do you [02:21] mgd: Ethernet for my server. Wireless on this laptop right now, though. [02:22] also what do you think i have a nasty windows drive that kills bios, vid cards ets norton cant fig out. i think is a one of a kind if i hot plug it into linex think its safe [02:22] Ken1 if you try to get a server from wireless that wount work so well for file transfers lol [02:22] Ken1: maybe check if the cable is all the way plugged in again [02:23] mdg: If the cable isn't plugged in, I'm throwing myself out the window. Unfortunately i'm in a 1 story so it won't do too much damage but it's the thought that counts. [02:23] hey guys, how can I view a channel list in Empathy IRC?? [02:23] Aperture: have you tried with /list ¿¿ [02:23] says unkown command [02:23] capcap that help you"? [02:23] mdg: Tried with no avail. [02:24] grrr... people please help, i've tryed everything but im still having issues with my wireless internet [02:24] ElementalWarrior: I'll be keeping it Wired. It's close enough to the router that I wouldn't need to switch. [02:24] adamror: what issues? [02:24] My wireless card keeps disconnecting and my internet speed is really slow [02:24] im trying it. thank you ElementalWarrior [02:25] adamror: what kind of card? [02:25] np [02:25] Hes -> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [02:26] anyone else here have AR5001? can help adamror [02:26] adamror: need to find our what driver that card needs [02:27] mdg, How would I go about doing that? (: [02:27] adamror: is pcmcia or USB? [02:27] PCI i thought [02:27] um... its built into the laptop ? [02:28] so can anyone tell me if I install ubuntu with grub on my second hard drive in my laptop will it affect my bootup process? [02:28] adamror: okay then its pci [02:28] anyone know, if I can look at hidden files on my iphone in 10.04. [02:28] ElementalWarrior: still not working [02:28] thanks tho [02:28] hmm [02:28] mdg, yeah PCI (: [02:28] ElementalWarrior: I'm actually not sure. Doesn't GRUB need to be installed on the primary Hard Drive to work? [02:28] adamror: in a terminal type "lspci -v" (without quotes) [02:28] what happened when you tried that? [02:29] wow...all this time I was setting up a LAMP server in netbook remix, when all I needed was a program called "sobby"... [02:29] *sigh* [02:29] ElementalWarrior: whats on the first hard drive [02:29] it went through the process successfully but the tablet still wont work [02:29] mdg, ok done (: [02:29] umm Docteh win7 [02:29] adamror: what did the entry for your wireless adapter say? [02:29] Capcap restart ubuntu? [02:29] ok [02:29] Aperture: whats sobby? [02:30] !sobby | ken [02:30] I'm on a different computer to where the problem is... so bare with me [02:30] Docteh: Part of Gobby, a collabritave text editor.... [02:30] its like a server daemon for it? [02:30] Question: typed apt-get install "^ebox-.*" and i got a screen that's asking me to enter the URI of the LDAP server to use. Do I just enter the ip address of the server I'm installing ebox on? [02:31] What tools exist for making HTML websites on ubuntu (like Dreamweaver)? [02:31] Does anybody know why powertop reports this as a top cause for wakeups?: (463.6) [kernel scheduler] Load balancing tick [02:31] Docteh: any idea what driver the ar5001 needs? [02:31] mdg, should I be looking at 'ethernet controller: marvell techology group ltd 88e8038 PCI-E fast ey hernet controller' or 'ethernet controller: atheros comunications inc AR5001 Wireless network adapter' ? [02:31] is there a way to add skype to my message indicator applet? [02:31] mdg: should be ath5k [02:31] mikelifeguard: There isn't really a dreamweaver equivalent as far as I know. I did use BlueFish and thought it was good. [02:31] adamror: ah atheros! [02:31] ? is youtube-dl listed as an illegal app for discussion? [02:32] afternoon all [02:32] ohhhhh its my eeepc that has that card [02:32] Good evening warnger09 [02:32] ok, im going to copy and past what i see and email it to myself then past it into irc 2secs [02:32] i wish to play manhunt on ubuntu ,i have wine-doors why won't it work [02:32] AnxiousNut: There is, kind of, but it won't behave properly with the notifications that they do with Empathy or Pidgin. [02:32] adamror: type "lsmod" and you will get a listing of all the modules loaded - you need to look for atheros and see what adapter it is using now [02:32] mikelifegaurd http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256604 [02:32] that was a guickk google search lol [02:32] adamror you can use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [02:33] !appdb | wranger09 [02:33] wranger09: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [02:33] Ken1: thanks, I'll give it a try [02:33] adamror: ath5k or madwifi usually [02:33] adamror: actually "lsmod | less" so you can scroll through [02:33] Ken1, just like for thunderbird, got a link? [02:33] Alright, it's 2.33am. I think I should give up on this networking issue until tomorrow. I'll probably just doing something stupid. [02:33] mikelifeguard: Sure, glad to help. [02:33] Docteh: I forgot how to check the pci id.... [02:33] anxiousnut: I'll just see if i can find one for you now. Basically, you have to sudo and create a file in a specific folder. [02:33] hey Ken1, have a great night. [02:34] AnxiousNut: Actually, I can't remember if I played with this script before but here is one possible solution: http://snikt.net/index.php/2010/01/21/howto-integrate-skype-and-ubuntus-indicator-applet but this is what you're looking for if you want to add/remove icons: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8276725&postcount=5 [02:35] mdg: lspci -nn or lspci then lspci -n [02:35] depends on how old the lspci is... [02:36] ElementalWarrior: Still no luck with the Bamboo but my mouse is back in action [02:36] haha thats good, [02:36] Docteh: thanks! [02:36] umm just google around [02:36] "sudo shutdown" or something, is it available? [02:36] Ken1, i'll look into that, thanks :) [02:37] any way to make it so that the "initiate windows picker" displays ALL windows within a virtual desktop (even the minimized ones) [02:37] Gryllida: sudo shutdown -h now [02:37] AnxiousNut: No problem at all. The second link is actually exactly what I used to put the Skype Icon in my menu. The script I *may* have used before I upgraded to 10.04 but I can't quite remember. [02:37] Gryllida: or sudo halt or sudo poweroff if you want to be inundated with options ;) [02:38] mdg -> Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[02:42] adamror: look in Synaptic Package manager [02:42] MrKlown: Do you have a default installation, too? Is there something big that might be slowing everything down. [02:42] ok thanks! [02:42] I shall try it and get back to you (: [02:42] thanks Docteh :) [02:42] Patric4: no its not, you'd be looking for the Desktop edition not the server edition [02:42] Patric4: 10.04 Desktop is more suitable for a Desktop OS to be honest, although I don't see why not. [02:42] Patric4: You'd just have to go to all the effort of constantly installing stuff as you realise you need it. [02:42] Was wondering whether it's just missing packages - 5 years of support sounds great [02:42] adamror: you might have to enable backports in the software sources [02:43] Patric4: same repository [02:43] kbar: View > Show Menubar [02:43] Docteh im kinda a noob, how do you enable backports? [02:43] patric4: It's "missing" a lot of packages, it has no GUI or desktop environment by default, it's all command line. [02:43] Patric4: run tasksel [02:43] Does this mean that the Desktop edition is effectively supported for 6 years ? [02:43] adamror: It should be in your Software Sorces, I think. [02:43] doh - I mean 5 years [02:43] rzx237, yeah I know but it checks every time I open a new instance of terminal, I want it to be unchecked every single time [02:43] Patric4: the desktop packages like firefox wouldn't be supported i suspect [02:44] Patric4: lts desktop 3 years, server 5 [02:44] adamror: Sorry, "software sources" rather, if I could spell. [02:44] lol thanks ken1 (: [02:44] adamror: Go to: System -> Administration [02:44] I'd also recommend everyone installs Gnome-Do. [02:45] kbar: Edit > Profile Preference > General > Show menubar by default in new terminal [02:45] Can you "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" on Server ? [02:45] yup [02:45] ok thanks [02:45] Can you "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" on Server ? [02:45] ken1, im in softwaresources... what am i looking for? [02:45] sorry - haven't problems with my IRC client :-) [02:45] hello any acer 4736z user ? [02:45] Patric4: do you want desktop or server¿ [02:45] why when i go to clear my cache memory do i get premission denied... i am running sudo sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [02:45] Patric4: You could do. It's not worth it to be honest, though. It's more trouble than it's worth. Isn't the Desktop version LTS this time around anyhow? [02:45] Really just desktop but wanted to take advantage of 5 years of support [02:46] Adamror: Sorry, I'm not sure what the start of your question was. What is it you're trying to do? Enable a specific repository or add a new one? [02:46] Under control - wrong kernel version used. [02:46] hello everyone ... has anyone seen this computer before? ... or something similar? ... and experience? ... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/675432-REG/Averatec_D1133AF1E_1_D1133AF1E_1_All_in_One_Desktop_Computer.html#specifications === ghost-away is now known as starghost [02:46] Ken1, 10.04 is LTS [02:46] because i don [02:46] durt: Thanks. [02:46] Right - I think I'll just go for desktop - should be happy enough with 3 years of support. (I loved how XP was effectively 10 years of support!) [02:46] Patric4: then download the desktop version, LTS's version are released every 2 years [02:47] because i don't know what to think about it ... it looks like it's not i'd recommend buying ... what do YOU say? [02:47] ken1, im trying to enable backports, how do I do this in software sources? [02:47] mado, for running ubuntu? [02:47] Patric4: you've got me curious now as to what they mean about support [02:47] What's the kde version of audacity.. (not audacity recompiled) but a similar program [02:47] well ... yes ... that too bazhang ... [02:47] why when i go to clear my cache memory do i get premission denied... i am running sudo sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [02:47] mado, or something else [02:47] adamror: Aah, sorry. Click on the "Updates" tab and select "Unsupported Updates" - that'll enable the backports. [02:47] Docteh: Yeah, that's what I was wondering. If you "convert" a server install, can you get away with 5 years of support (I don't like change!) [02:48] nothingnow: the echo runs as sudo, but the > isn't, echo 3 > tee file [02:48] any acer 4736z user ? [02:48] echo 3 > sudo tee file i mean [02:48] Docteh: Well I do like change, but like to minimise reinstalls etc. It's a bit like shifting house :-) [02:48] i love putty [02:49] I've started to love a "konsole" ; [02:49] well bazhang ... one of my friends thought about buying this computer ... but i think it has little RAM for e.g. Windows 7 ... she should have at least the double of what's inside this computer ... and yes ... i thought about installing ubuntu on it too [02:49] Adamror: And on the "Ubuntu Software" tab, you can check most of those boxes to enable more repositories. Just remember to be careful if you're ever adding New repositories via the "Other Software" - "Add";make sure you trust them before adding. [02:49] Docteh: so i need to add a sudo after >? [02:49] mado: old, shit and overpriced [02:49] Patric4: well theres nothing stopping you from using it after its supported, converting a server install will actually not do anything different from just installing the desktop [02:50] mado, seems like a good place to discuss would be #ubuntu-offtopic, for general chat; there is also ##hardware , unless its strictly Ubuntu support issue [02:50] so you also say she should buy something else cao ? [02:50] nothingnow: i've never actually done it which is why im having trouble with the syntax [02:50] Ken1, Thanks after I enable unsupported updates should I run the update manager? [02:50] unknown: Love is such a complex thing, Unknown. If you love a Konsole and are happy, so long as it hurts no one you should go for it. [02:50] at least i would buy something else [02:50] echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/somewhere [02:50] Ken1 you're still here, I thought you were going to sleep. lol === horndog_ is now known as horndog [02:50] adamror: yes [02:50] Thanks! [02:50] ok does some unknow how to unlink a hot key in Evolution Mail not sure why but x ( and just x is send ) [02:50] nothingnow: tell me if this works: echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/somewhere [02:50] bazhang: / cao ... can we discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic then? ... or somewhere in a private window? [02:50] adamror: You should be able to just close it. Then if you open software sources or synaptic, be sure to reload to get the new list of software. [02:51] Docteh: will do [02:51] oh sorry hi all [02:51] drake2k: I got a little distracted. I'm pretty much a noob, but there were a few questions I could answer. Give back to the community and all that. [02:51] Ken1, actually I preffer Gnome... but there are few things for me what unfortunately cannot be done in that environment... [02:51] Ken1 Totally understand. Me too. [02:51] drake2k: And I still haven't quite managed to get the networking going on my server. I have no idea what I changed now. [02:52] Docteh: ben@logic:~$ echo 3 | sudo tree /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [02:52] sudo: tree: command not found [02:52] btw... I'm still using gnome... but with "konsole" from kde... :/ [02:52] Ken1 did you get chance to paste it in that website? [02:52] Yeah I love KDE, Gnome is a bit simple feature wise. But then again I have this ubtuntu box with gnome all decked out the way I like ;p [02:52] Patric4: basically you can update your installation up until the point where they remove lucid from the mirrors, and server and desktop pull from the same place [02:52] nothingnow: tee not tree [02:52] Just ran across a nasty graphics bug in ubuntu. It seems to fix itself after logging in and out. Any ideas what it could be? Pic: http://digitalpioneer.no-ip.org/Screenshot.png [02:53] I tried killing compiz and all the desktop effects, no luck. :( [02:53] I never understood why the preference between Consoles. They all look white text on black background to me. [02:53] Docteh: Thanks for this. Does this mean that the core lucid repo is maintained for 5 years in both desktop and server editions ? [02:53] Gaming4JC: do you use the vt's? [02:53] OMG!!! it fixed it!!!!!!!!!!! [02:53] drake2k: I did. I found my initial problem - I forgot to add the gateway. Embarrassing. I'm not quite sure what's going wrong right now but I'm a little too tired to work it out to be honest. And the painkillers are kicking in. I broke my neck two weeks ago so I have plenty of spare time to play with these things. [02:53] vt's?... [02:53] adamror: Excellent! All working? [02:53] ctrl+alt+f1 [02:54] ctrl+alt+f7 to get back if you're going to press it [02:54] OMG! You guys are amazing... words can't explain it!! [02:54] XD [02:54] Ken1 sorry to hear that. Ouch. I did accidentally put my own pc as the gateway once (about 5 hours ago) so yeah, it happens. [02:54] adamror: Haha. Glad everything is sorted. [02:54] Docteh: Ah right, virtual terminals. I don't use this as much as I should. Still it doesn't resolve my issue that the bug keeps coming back. :P [02:54] drake2k: Yeah, it sounds more extreme than it is. I'm pretty much stumped but i'm sure i'll figure it all out soon. [02:54] eww that is one nasty graphics glitch [02:55] I know. :( [02:55] Ken1 when in doubt, re-install and start from scratch. hehe [02:55] Ken1: Ouch! Best wishes for recovery [02:55] Gaming4JC: Did you have a shaky hand when you took that photo? It looks blurry. [02:55] Patric4: the files will be there, but probably no patches to the desktop apps [02:55] DOcteh: Thanks :-) [02:55] Ken1: Nope, lol. The screen just looks poor. [02:56] Drake2k: That's pretty much what i'm thinking - reinstall all the way. I was quite proud of myself that I got FTP working today. [02:56] btw. guys I wounder if its possible in 10.04 to do something what was a standard i 9.10.... I realy like Nautilus but it was nice to see the icon to swich to "type destination" instead of just "clicking" it... is it possible somehow to do this ?? [02:56] patric4: Thanks very much, Patric4. It sounds worse than it is. Two broken vertebrae. [02:56] Ken1 Do you use the ubuntu desktop or server? [02:56] unknown: Hit CTRL+L on the keyboard. [02:56] Gaming4JC: fire up xeyes and/or xterm when its like that === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [02:56] Ok a noob comment: glad this ubuntu comes with open office. It has been a pain for me to set up in the past. [02:57] drake2k: I'm using the Desktop on my laptop. I've only started with the server a little before 10.04 came out. Maybe before April? [02:57] Ken1, thanks! that's what I was looking for :) [02:57] unknown: No problem at all. [02:57] then again im coming from openbsd, so a lot of things were a pain :) [02:58] Gaming4JC: also hopefully someone else figures out whats going on and theres an update ;) , tracking down something like that is annoying [02:58] Ken1 gotchya. I used desktop a few years ago, got frustrated with proprietary stuff (wifi video etc) so gave up and went with mint. My file server I just setup today though is ubuntu server. Very fast! [02:58] starghost: you a writer? [02:58] Thank you so much guys everythings working fine now.... at least we know when the world is taken over by killer computers we can just all hide and the ubuntu heroes will save us -> Ken1, Docteh and mdg (: [02:58] lool no why? [02:58] starghost: was going to suggest an open office tool for writers. nev' mind [02:59] oh but I write a lot for school, tell tell :D [02:59] hey ho. I have a really quick top-related question. [02:59] ken1 just curious, in your interfaces, do you have address netmask network broadcast & gateway? [02:59] starghost: http://www.uberstudent.org/ [02:59] hey.. when i click places, network, nothing comes up, any idea why? [02:59] drake2k: I've mostly dual booted for the last while. I've dabbled since 5.04 or whatever it was. I can't remember. It's only recently that i've used it almost exclusively since major issues have been fixed. [03:00] adamror: You're being too kind - I didn't really do very much. it was the others that did the hard part. [03:00] Docteh: Yeah, If the xeyes get blurred I guess I'll have to vt over to sudo apt-get moo... :P [03:00] My wife's machine occasionally goes a bit into meltdown, and I want a way of guaranteed killing. Problem is, once processes get beyond a certain point, the machine doesn't listen to anyone any more. I'm running top under screen inside a ssh session, and I want it to be the top priority process, so the process _will_ listen to me, "like, now". [03:00] drake2k: Yes, address, netmask, network, broadcast and gateway are all here. I must have a number wrong somewhere, I just can't see it right now. [03:01] Ace: wow cool thanks ill check it out [03:01] Which process do i renice? top itself? screen? or the sshd responsible for listening to my connection? [03:01] (or all three?( [03:01] all of them [03:01] Ken1 easy to get them confused even on windows networks. what's the ip address on your 'network' line? [03:01] Ken1, eth1 or something else instead of eth0? [03:01] 2771993 [03:01] is this where i want to go to find ubuntu help?? [03:02] tristan3199us yes [03:02] adante: I tak it that's 27.71.99.3 ? [03:02] !welcome | tristan3199us [03:02] Viking667: that could be anything from bad ram to the hard drive taking a nap [03:02] tristan3199us: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [03:02] tristan3199us: this is ONE place for help. what's up [03:02] Docteh: naah. It's poor coding on the part of the Cafe World programmers. [03:02] oh really? [03:02] drake2k: The network line is currently: 192.168.1.0 [03:02] Ace: Actually this looks really awesome [03:02] Game gobbles up over 700Mb of memory on a bad day. On a machine with 512Mb, it's not pretty. [03:02] Viking667: disable swap ;) [03:03] im a noob.. but quick learner.. anyways.. how do i add compiz to start up [03:03] Docteh: hah. Can't do that. It's the only thing keeping the game running. [03:03] starghost: linux for learners. spread it around. [03:03] Ken1, if you need to do some network trouble shooting, you can run wireshark to see lower level traffic errors. [03:03] tristian3199us: You won't need to. in the "Appearance" settings, select one of the options other than "none" - Compiz should run by default when you boot up [03:03] As it is, I bumped up the swap to 1Gb [03:03] !compiz | tristan3199us [03:03] tristan3199us: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [03:03] Ken1, if you have another machine on the network. [03:04] durt: Thank you, i'll give that a try. [03:04] Ken1 groudcast 255.255.255.0? [03:04] Positively will! [03:04] drake2k: Yup, that's right. [03:04] when i upgraded, it changed something and i dont have a window manager [03:04] Ken1 gateway 192.168.1.1? [03:04] tristan3199us: explain [03:04] Does anyone know where the color.conf is? [03:04] Ken1 wait...broadcast...should be 192.168.1.255 [03:04] durt: Thanks. I'll give it a go. I'm honestly not sure what I changed. [03:04] but loading compiz and refreshing fixes this for now [03:05] Drake2k: Sorry, that's what the broadcast is. Hold on until I find the pastebin [03:05] I just upgraded to 10.04. It gets to the black screen with the white Ubuntu logo and then the black screen goes a purple colour and the logo changes colour (corrupts) then it reboots. I think it's a graphics driver corruption. I attempted to fix it two days ago by uninstalling fglrx, no luck. I have an ATI RV770 4850 HD. Could someone please help me troubleshoot this, I'd rather not have to reinstall ubuntu from scratch. [03:05] Ken1 netmask is 255.255.255.0 I got them mixed. :) [03:05] nighthwk, you mean desktop colors? [03:05] Viking667: sounds like its trying to actively use what gets swapped to disk if its bogging down so much that you cant ssh in. [03:05] Actually there is a page on the Backtrack forums (I know that is sort of off topic), but it does have details for installing Compiz-fusion in seconds if that's what you want. [03:05] Docteh: that's what I'm wondering. [03:06] simple ccsm [03:06] normally the game runs under Chrome, in flash. But the chrome process gets a lot fatter for memory use when that game is played. [03:06] Drake2k: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441163/ [03:07] Ken1: network and broadcast are usually guessed based on the network mask and the ip address [03:08] hi guys [03:08] starghost, why would you send someone to backtrack for a simple thing like compiz /simple ccsm /// backtrack is a forensic distro [03:08] !hi>antiproxy [03:08] antiproxy, please see my private message [03:08] hey,guys where i can get weather.com xoap parten id ? [03:08] Viking667: any chance at adding more ram? [03:08] docteh: I used ifconfig just to check the broadcast and gateway addresses. They're right, as far as I know. Although, in honestly, what I know right now would fit on the back of a stamp [03:08] I am running ubuntu on vbox and cannot access my cdrom? When I run /media it only shows floppy0, floppy1. Can anyone help me? [03:09] Ken1: oh i'm just saying you dont have to specify them [03:09] Docteh: nup. Damn machine won't take more than 512. Already looked at that. [03:09] I have an iso mounted [03:09] Hi [03:09] docteh: Aah. That's actually good to know. Thank you. [03:09] does anyone know a solution for Evolution constantly crashing since i updated to 10.04? i was hoping it'd be fixed by now.. all my packages are up to date, but it still segfaults randomly every few minutes :( [03:09] Bodi: As I said, it was posted on their forums, that's why. [03:10] AntiProxy: what functions do you use in Evolution? [03:10] anthonyfv03, you might want to ask on #vbox [03:10] thank you [03:10] anthonyfv03: so you can't read teh crom iso? [03:10] Ken1 This looks perfect...if your address actually is ip address 66 then this is perfect. No out of place numbers or even mispelled words. If this were MY server and unable to connect to the network, the next thing I would do is look at my router settings and see if it's actually getting the ip address of 66 as it's supposed to or is the router even seeing it. [03:10] You could replace it with Thunderbird plus Sunbird. [03:10] Viking667, i have 5 POP3 accounts.. some folders, and simple rules to send mail from each account to an individual folder.. that's basically it [03:10] Viking667, it also has about 10 years worth of mail archived [03:10] how do you switch the ubuntu netbook remix to the regular desktop [03:10] Ken1 Not sure how YOU have router, isp interface and server connected though. [03:11] grant_: on a netbook? [03:11] does anyone use docky??? i am wondering why it disappears sometimes [03:11] yes [03:11] Catwoman: do you have intellihide one? [03:11] Eww. Pop migration. [03:11] drake2k: Thanks for taking a look at it. I'm digging through my ugly BT router right now. Router is connected to the internet on one end, and straight to the wireless card on the computer ("server"). In all honesty, it was working earlier and i'll bet it's something simple [03:11] no i don't have intellihide on... [03:11] Drake2k: 3am and i'm still determined. [03:12] Ken1 wait, did you say wireless? [03:12] grant_: desktop is going to place a bigger load on yoru netbook. that's WHY there's a UNE version. Do you just want more apps or do you REALLY want the desktop experience on your netbook? [03:12] then I don't know [03:12] drake2k: Er, maybe but If I did I meant wired. [03:12] Ken1 darn, and here I thought I found the problem. hehe [03:12] Viking667, i tried all kinds of other options, including my own Zimbra server.. but although it gave me more functionality and accessiblity with the web interface, etc, i hated it :) [03:12] yes i want the desktop on experience [03:12] Viking667, i'm used to evolution :( [03:12] drake2k: Nice try. :) [03:12] Ken1, did you look at the output of ifconfig? [03:13] grant_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for startes [03:13] Viking667, were you on linuxhelp undernet? your nick rings a bell from 5-6 years back [03:13] fetchmail deals with delivery to folders... [03:13] AntiProxy: Still am, in fact. [03:13] lol [03:13] does anyone have a recommendation for a dock for ubuntu other than docky [03:13] Ken1: why aren't you using dhcp? [03:13] durt: I did. From what I can tell everything is in order. I'm guess it's router issues. [03:13] that was a weird flashback for a second there [03:13] how much bigger is it going to be though my harddrive only holds 16 gb [03:13] grant_: that won't install apps but it will give you desktop appearance and behavior [03:13] Are the volunteers that help in here just random people or are they specially anointed by Ubuntu? [03:13] catwoman: Have you tried Cairo-dock? [03:13] Catwoman: gnome-do's 'docky' mode is nice [03:13] ausnomer: random people [03:13] well, I've been on IRC (as such) since 1996, small wonder you've seen me. [03:14] ausnomer: random and somtimes offical canonical folk [03:14] i'll have to try those because docky is buggy....thanks [03:14] ausnomer: Randomers. [03:14] should i type that in the terminal? [03:14] join xchat.com [03:14] ok, so are any of the people here exceptionally trust worthy? [03:14] grant_: login as root. then run that command in the terminal === david_ is now known as toolbear [03:14] ausnomer: hahahahahahahahahahahaha [03:14] Viking667, i used to be a regular on LH for 4-5 years.. haven't been on in 5 years or so [03:14] Ken1 I just got ebox installed and am logged into it. Very sleek. [03:14] Docteh: Probably misundersanding to be honest. I'm assuming that, since I'm having it as a server, I'll need to define a static IP address. [03:14] ausnomer: depends with what, also, no [03:14] AntiProxy: it's been a while, eh. [03:14] hmmn [03:14] so, bad idea for me to give root access to anyone here [03:15] ausnomer, I am exceptionally trust worthy :) [03:15] Undernet's basically almost dead. Only random twitches [03:15] My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. [03:15] Ken1 I still not sure if I did the right thing though, during installation it was asking me questions about LDAP server and what not. I just hit enter until something made sense. lol [03:15] ausnomer: trustworthy = knows what the heck they're talking about? Well... [03:15] ausnomer: only if you've known them for five years or longer. [03:15] Ken1: aye, just make sure its outside of the range that the router hands out, or tell the router to do a static lease [03:15] i need a x-chat chat room any help [03:15] okay ill do that now thanks [03:15] ausnomer, do you have a support question? [03:15] Docteh: My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. [03:15] ausomer: Yes pretty much. I consider myself to be honest and trusthworthy, so much so i'd tell you not to even give me your root access. [03:15] Chuck27, #xchat [03:15] yes [03:15] Chuck27, what u mean? [03:15] Chuck27: how about #xchat? [03:16] Chuck27, bookmark this: searchirc.com [03:16] bazhang: graphics drivers all messed up. Need someone to hold my hand in a ati graphics driver installation for 10.04. [03:16] drake2k: As soon as I get my network going again, I'm going to try ebox. Let me know how it goes. [03:16] bazhang:My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. [03:16] how do i bookmark? [03:16] what else will i have to do acerrimer [03:16] Chuck27, what irc client [03:16] Docteh: I'll set the router to do a static lease. From there, should I just set the server to DCHP? [03:16] ubuntu [03:16] Chuck27, in a web browser [03:16] bazhang:My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. [03:16] ok ty [03:17] Ken1: yea [03:17] Chuck27, since using the list command is frowned upon [03:17] Chuck27, Ubuntu is the OS not the irc client [03:17] Neat irc search didnt even know they had one of these [03:17] try /msg alis list *term* [03:17] starghost: repeat irc search plz [03:17] bazhang:My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. [03:17] Ken1: thats assuming static isn't working, maybe run dhclient to see what the network range it [03:18] www.searchirc.com [03:18] hi guys, is there any channel dedicate to linux development, especially using c and c++? my irc client hang every time i search for channels. [03:18] rahul_, ok. please address the channel and don't repeat so often please [03:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver <--- This hasn't helped. I get errors when executing some of these commands in the tutorial. Does anyone here have a good knowledge of how to properly set up graphics drivers? I can't load the gui. [03:18] Docteh: The thing i'm caught up on is the fact it was working okay earlier before I changed.. something. [03:18] can i configure evolution to check my hotmail account [03:18] What can I do now? [03:18] oh, unknown problems, i see [03:18] tristan3199us: yes. wait 1 [03:18] why do people make things so difficult xchat is so easy [03:19] tristan3199us: How long have you had your hotmail account? [03:19] Docteh: Are you married? Engaged? I think I'm going to propose. [03:19] years [03:19] like ten years [03:19] tristan3199us: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2009/03/04/setting-up-evolution-mail-gmail-and-hotmail/ [03:19] hiexpo, some people aren't on a gtk centric setup [03:19] bazhang: Can u help? [03:19] thank you ace [03:20] tristan3199us: If it's old enough, you'll still have POP access without having to go through a scraper (and without having to pay for a premium version) [03:20] lol [03:20] Docteh: Changing to DHCP seems to have worked perfectly. I can now ping. I'll set my router to set a static IP that way [03:20] tristan3199us, - use pidgin it is much betta messanger and check your email + notifications [03:20] hiexpo: I don't like xchat much. I can't (really) run it in a terminal [03:20] Ken1: nice [03:20] if anyone want to know how to install itunes on the new lucid i may be able to help [03:20] tristan3199us: I use Pidgin. Or webmail notifier for Firefox. Both are very nice. [03:21] My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. Can any1 help???? [03:21] grant_: you have great and better music players at your disposition [03:21] how do i view what services are using which ports [03:21] Viking667, the terminal gets old after while but to each's own [03:21] tristan3199us: webmail notifier especially - you can link as many accounts as you like. Don't use it on a shared computer, though, if you can help it. [03:21] anthonyfv03: netstat might be the command you're looking for. It'll list port usage. [03:21] yea but you can't copy music from your ipod into them [03:21] hiexpo: it (mostly) works faster for me than some GUI programs do. [03:21] grant_: Have you used gtkpod? It works fine with my nano. [03:22] I rather the terminal and to startx if I need it. Had to reconfig out of the box ubuntu to not start it automatically, which was kind of strange. [03:22] no thanks ill try it out [03:22] But I guess everyone is different;p [03:22] Viking667, gotta config gui's to make them work right [03:22] Viking667, minimize [03:22] "minimise"? Why for? [03:23] My Ubuntu software center is not opening from yesterday.. Can any1 help???? [03:23] rahul_, any error messages? [03:23] Viking667, to make them respond quickly [03:23] Hey werdan [03:23] durt: No [03:23] Question: how can I get a mail link to open in yahoo mail and not in Evolution. Thank you. --->Third Time's the Charm. [03:24] durt: In the task bar it displays Starting Software center and then opens nothing.. [03:24] I am trying to run a server but when i start it, it states port 81 is being used. Using netstat and simple scan [03:24] hiexpo: doesn't work when you're actually trying to play a game in chrome. doesn't respond to mouse clicks without being non-minimised. [03:24] rahul_, please explain more. What ubuntu do you have? How long have you been using it? [03:24] anthonyfv03: sudo netstat -ntpl [03:24] tipelb: It's not that easy but: http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/yahoo-as-default-email-client/ [03:24] Ken1, thanks [03:24] anthonyfv03: without the -l it just lists opened connections [03:24] exactly, if it is an X game, then xterm is good enough. [03:24] anthonyfv03: As far as I remember, port 81 is for https.. I think. Maybe try a different port? [03:25] I am having Ubuntu 10.04. I am using ubuntu since last 1 yr. [03:25] 443 [03:25] starghost: it's not. It runs under flash [03:25] Ken1: https is 443 [03:25] https is 443 [03:25] viking oh ok no u explain ya games use so much resources [03:25] port 443 is https [03:25] 81 is open for http backup on most systems [03:25] I didn't think people would trip over themselves to point that out [03:25] hiexpo: .... huh? [03:25] rahul_, unfortunatley I know nothing about software center as it's fairly new, but it could be an apt issue, do you know how to update apt from the command line? [03:25] Oh, yeah, sorry. It's UDP, right? [03:25] oh i missed you said it was a browser game [03:26] !info libgmp3 [03:26] Package libgmp3 does not exist in lucid [03:26] Viking667, games use a lot of resources up [03:26] hi. say, is it possible to do the ubuntu live cd thing without using squashfs at all? or is there a way to mimic squashfs, but still have write capabilities? [03:26] durt: tell me plz.. its like apt get update na? [03:26] I caught it first and last [03:26] toolbear: do a google search for casper-cow [03:26] rahul_, ya 'sudo apt-get update' [03:26] Docteh: ok, thanks! [03:27] even running netstat -ntp shows it closed [03:27] Viking667, so that makes sense that u use terminal for chat [03:27] durt: It is not working yet.. [03:27] can anyone suggest a quick start guide to using synergy? the docs are like ten pages long... [03:28] how do i change what programs go under the little mail icon by the clock in the top panel? [03:28] patrick_, is your linux box the client or server? [03:28] i want to add some stuff. [03:28] patrick_, there's a sample config in /usr/share/doc IIRC [03:28] patrick_, read it never hurt anyone [03:28] lol I'm wonder why everyone is taking about Ubuntu in #Cisco I'm not in #Cisco [03:28] Does ubuntu by chance have a vmware player .deb in the repository somewhere? I just need to launch a vmware container [03:29] extor: maybe under partners but i doubt it [03:29] laplatadonna: That's the indicator applet you're looking to change. There are some specific behaviours for the applications that are added there, so be mindful that not everything will "work" as they intend it to. You can, however, add other application icons there, or remove current ones.. I'll just get you a lin [03:29] Any way to launch or convert a vmware app? [03:29] durt: It is not working yet.. [03:29] extor, yes but getdeb is down right now [03:29] laplatadonna: This link should help: http://superuser.com/questions/73200/remove-or-add-entry-in-indicator-applet-ubuntu-gnome === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [03:29] extor: you could try to run the vmdk with virtualbox [03:30] Ken1: thanks! :-) [03:30] laplatadonna: Glad to help. [03:30] rahul_, you have a system wide http proxy configured? [03:30] durt: Actually it was working till yesterday. Then I updated my system and it suddenly stopped working. [03:30] Docteh, didn't work [03:31] rahul_, you mean update didn't work or software center? [03:31] extor, sun virtualbox 3.2 [03:31] what is the .bundle extension? [03:31] is it easy to upgrade from Karmic to Lucid? [03:31] Capcap: yes [03:31] AntiProxy, linux is server unfortunately lol [03:32] durt:Update worked. But now software center is not working. [03:33] Any graphics driver specialists in the channel yet? [03:33] so if i install 9.10 then come back here will someone be able to help me through the upgrade process (I'm switching back from Mint, and going to Lucid, but I have no CDs to put Lucid on and have my old Karmic CD) [03:33] rahul_, no error messages when you updated apt? [03:33] does anybody have any experience with zoneminder? [03:33] AntiProxy, linux is server [03:34] Capcap, why not just do a fresh install instead of going through all that [03:34] durt: No. [03:34] patrick_, you just need two sections in the config file.. aliases to assign IPs to the host names, and links section to point out where each host is located in relation to the other [03:34] rahul_, then, I'm afraid that was my only idea :( [03:35] AntiProxy, im looking at the config file and cant make heads or tails of it. [03:35] durt: Its ok! [03:35] durt: What can I do now? [03:35] IdleOne, 2 gigs to go :) [03:35] !ebox | ken [03:35] ken: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [03:35] durt anything u knw? [03:35] alright i cant write anything to the folder \usr\share\indicators\messages\ [03:35] AntiProxy, i so wish this had a nice gui. i got quicksynergy but i cant even figure out that! [03:35] help me [03:36] rahul_, sry no. [03:36] im trying to change my ubuntu netbook remix to regular desktop [03:36] patrick_, backup that file and create a new one.. you don't need all that junk [03:36] laplatadonna: U need to b a root user to do that.. [03:36] !help | laplatadonna [03:36] laplatadonna: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:36] rahul_: im the sole account on this machine, and the administrator [03:36] rahul_: so just copy it using the tty? [03:36] rahul_, it is a fairly new program, you could look at bugs on launchpad and check if there are work arounds... [03:37] grant_, download the distro and do a fresh install [03:37] patrick_, check here for a sample config file that has the basics covered: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto#On the Server [03:37] grant_: It's not advised to change your netbook remix because it'll just use more resources but, as Hiexpo suggested, a fresh install might be the best bet. [03:37] is there any way to reset all the settings in ubuntu so that it will have to check all devices attached to the machine and reinstall drivers and set up the settings again? [03:37] yea im downloading it right now [03:37] laplatadonna: No. Logout and then login as root. Tehn do operations. [03:37] laplatadonna: Even though you're the sole user, you still need to tell it that you want to use "Higher" privledges. [03:37] i just wish there were an easier way [03:37] AntiProxy, the wife is making me watch glee... i will have to figure this out later. thanks for the help. [03:38] laplatadonna: Are you using Gnome? [03:38] grant_: if u just GOTTA, download teh desktop iso, burn a Startup Disk to your usb and go for it. [03:38] rahul_: im running 10.4 desktop so how do i get to the tty when i log out? [03:38] durt: Is there any other way to see a list of available softwares? [03:38] lol [03:38] ausnomer, it does that on every boot [03:38] ace: did you design uber? [03:38] that what ima do thanks [03:38] Ken1: yes gnome [03:38] laplatadonna: I'd suggest you open up the terminal and type: "Sudo nautilus" then it'll prompt you for your password. Be very _very_ careful what do you though. [03:38] I'm still very impressed with it :D [03:38] grant_, easy = anything worth while is worth taking the time and doing right [03:38] rahul_, synaptic package manager under system->administration [03:38] !gksudo | Ken1 laplatadonna [03:38] Ken1 laplatadonna: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:39] ken1: i already opened admin rights by changing my cpu freq. [03:39] starghost: no. somma you YOUNG tux users did that - and did one outstanding job too. [03:39] i know it is and i hate that about life god only knows [03:39] laplatadonna: You'll have to do it again for editing the files in that folder. Bastid_raZor pointed us to a useful link too which might be better than "Sudo nautilus" [03:39] i only use sudo at the tty, never as a graphic command [03:39] im the laziest crapper in the world [03:39] grant_, :) [03:40] i need to get laid [03:40] Ken1: laplatadonna gksudo nautilus instead of sudo [03:40] grant_: go to the beach with friends, and relax. you dont need sex to validate oyur existence. [03:40] anyone know how to enable the multitouch from a synaptic's touchpad [03:40] i live in pittsburgh theres no beach around [03:41] grant_, get of the comp and go out [03:41] running ubuntu 10.04 [03:41] grant_: how about a lake? [03:41] durt: Thanks buddy! [03:41] hiexpo has a point [03:41] rahul_, np === SolarisB1y is now known as SolarisBoy [03:41] yea ill do that tomorrow [03:41] laplatadonna: As Bastid_raZor suggested (thanks) - open up a terminal and type "gksudo nautlius" to open up an administrator privleged window. [03:41] thanks [03:41] you guys are great [03:42] laplatadonna: Then go to the folder you're try to get access to - you should be free to add, delete and change anything. Like I said though, be very careful - Linux is ruthless, it'll do exactly what you tell it to do. [03:42] synaptic drivers on ubuntu 10.04 someone ? [03:42] grantno we just tell it like it is [03:42] Ken1: linux is reliable, it'll do exactly what you tell it to. :) [03:43] !synaptics | EvaZq [03:43] EvaZq: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [03:43] acerimmer_: Oh, ruthless and reliable - exactly. Which is how I got into most of the trouble I usually get into. [03:43] Ken1: that's why i love it. i've had my 2 personal computers running linux for a year without troubles. and one is a tablet pc and it supports everything on it, including the digitizer and touchscreen...now im converting my family one by one. this isnt even my irc account, just one i set up so mom can talk to me directly without picking up the phone [03:43] linux = reliable, stable and sexy :) [03:44] laplatadonna: One of the reasons I like it too, but also why things have gone wrong. I've had to wrestle for some features but heck, i'm 23, it's 3:43am and I'm off work for six weeks with a broken neck - what else am I going to do? [03:44] kiexpo > http://getawallpaper.com/p-linux-1982-1/ [03:45] hiexpo> http://getawallpaper.com/p-linux-1982-1/ [03:46] Ken1: and its so much faster. every computer ive converted (3 at this point) runs so much faster on linux than windows. both x86 and x64. [03:46] acerimmer_, - lol [03:46] Hi, I wonder why every time my box needs restart (which is quite often, lately), I end up with an old session of apps that weren't the ones I was running before the crash. Hints? [03:46] Ken1: and yeah i was bored when i did mine, but it was worth the time. i wanted a mac but didnt have the money, and it turns out i found something better. :-) but one thing left is netflix...cant get it to run without virtualboxing windows. any luck? [03:47] lgc: are you running ubuntu in some virtualized environment? [03:47] jrib, no. [03:47] Can anyone help out with a partition creation problem? I'm using disk utility and getting this error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3gFKkC49 [03:47] laplatadonna: Very much so. I use only x86 but the boot time of my laptop is stupidly quick. I think I'm running in about 30 seconds from GRUB loading. I have a dual booting system with... ugh... Vista. [03:47] lgc: can you be more specific? I don't see how that would be possible [03:47] lgc: In the session options, have you asked it to save previous session? Just a shot in the dark. [03:48] jrib, no, I am not running my ubuntu in a virtualized environment. [03:48] lgc, you must have told the machine to do that somehow /// bring up old sessions [03:48] lgc: I meant regarding the problem, but never mind, I misunderstood you anyway [03:48] my prizefighter is about to come back online because this computer is running low on battery, but its a 64-bit dual core 2 GHz that boots in 25 seconds [03:48] Ken1, no, but how can I check? [03:48] hiexpo, how? [03:48] Ken1 So far the ebox is pretty nice. A lot like astaro gateway or something. I'm not sure if it's 100% installed correctly on my machine however so we'll see. [03:49] Ken1: I had a dual-boot for about ten minutes only because i wasnt sure how ubuntu would do with the new hardware but it was amazing. [03:49] lgc: System - Preferences - Start Up Applications - "Options" tab. [03:49] laplatadonna: Have you tried WINE for Netflicks? I'm not sure Netflicks is exactly but maybe it'll help. [03:49] jrib, my session comes up with Evolution, for example, which I kill every time it shows up, only to do it again at the next boot. [03:49] lgc, i dont remember but there is a thing that will place all apps as previouse i gotta think about it [03:50] Drake2k: Thanks for the update too. I'm going to try and install it now too. [03:50] Ken1: Its a 10$ per month movie rental service in teh US [03:50] I also like to repeat the word "too" [03:50] Ken1: ill meet you back in here as linux_is_my_hero, hold on. [03:50] rallias: Aah. I guess that's my fault for being in UK (Northern Ireland) [03:50] hiexpo, isn't it what Ken1 just mentioned? [03:50] ken1: i don't blame you [03:51] Ken1 good luck :) [03:51] Ken1, the "Remember applications running now" is unchecked. [03:51] hiexpo: Preferences>Startup Applications? [03:51] is there a way to install a linux distro while inside a different one? [03:52] lgc: Unusual. I'm not exactly the most skilled Linux person - stab in the dark is mostly what I do. I'm just not sure what would cause that behaviour. Worst case scenario - full backup and fresh install? [03:52] rallias: Try using VirtualBox. [03:52] lgc, there is system->preferences->start up applications also [03:52] rallias: virtualization you mean? [03:52] !virtualbox | rallias [03:52] rallias: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [03:52] no i want seperate partition entirely [03:52] rallias: different distro? [03:52] i just don't want to have to download a livecd [03:52] Rallias: Yes, you can try dual booting. [03:52] rallias: Yep. Instructions on one method are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix [03:52] !dual boot | rallias [03:52] rallias: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:53] acerimmer_, no it has something to do with how apps run it will save previous run apps last settings [03:53] yeah i want to install a second distro for dualboot without having to downloading a livecd [03:53] rallias: You'll still have to download the packages and stuff. [03:53] durt, there are quite a few checked, but not the ones that show up. [03:53] hiexpo: save running apps on exit = there's a preference setting somewhere [03:53] Safest way to get torrents? Polling the crowd. [03:53] rallias, asking for a train wreck [03:53] hiexpo: Not really [03:53] Ken1: u there? [03:53] lgc, a setting in evolution itself? [03:53] Ken1, that's going a bit too far. I haven't reinstalled since Dapper Drake (2005 or so). [03:53] i don't care its an 8 year old computer [03:54] Ir0n0xid3: I use Vuze. [03:54] Linux_is_my_hero: I a. [03:54] well i just installed 10.04 on my spare partition using the Alt disk, and when i select that install in the boot manager, the screen goes into standby... [03:54] ir0n0xid3: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ Torrents are there [03:54] without a dvd drive [03:54] durt, don't think so, because it also starts LyX and eVince, for example. [03:54] i never convinced my grandma to buy a dvd drive [03:54] rallias: take a look at netboot.me and boot.kernel.org [03:54] Ken1: Do you get your torrent files straight off the Vuse search? [03:54] rallias: You can also install from a USB drive [03:54] rallias: Depending on the distro, you might not need to use a live CD - I usually install Ubuntu with the text based loader because i'm impatient, but your probably going to have to download something, whether it's an .iso or a bootable USB stick format [03:55] hello [03:55] !hi>orikon [03:55] orikon, please see my private message [03:55] Ken1: how do i tell my computer to permanently run the cpu at 2GHZ USERSPACE from boot even when running battery? [03:55] ir0n0xid3: On the rare occasions that I download, Yes. [03:55] ir0n0xid3: Just download them from here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ [03:55] any ATI driver experts online? [03:55] does anyone know how to get japanese filenames to display? ive installed the language packs and changed my region settings, what else am i missing? [03:55] ausnomer: what computer and what video card? [03:56] linux_is_my_hero, power management [03:56] linux_is_my_hero: Good question and i'm just not sure. I know you can add an applet on the taskbar for setting CPU throttling/usage. [03:56] ausnomer: i have a hp tx2525nr with a ati video card. i ran ubuntu update then i ran hardware drivers and it found them on its own. [03:56] it does display fine on websites [03:56] orikon: system language is english? or nihon [03:56] I am trying to install a gimp plugin and after running the config script, i get themsg "Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gimp-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable" even though it is installed (gimp 2.6) [03:56] how do i do this/ [03:57] linux_is_my_hero: ubuntu 10.04 on an intel PC, ATI 4850 HD [03:57] ey_: Off the top of my head, is the plugin compatible with that version of the GIMP? [03:57] well the local is set to japan [03:57] ey_, use synaptic it is easier [03:57] and i just noticed the select system language button [03:57] ausnomer: sounds like pretty new hardware, when did your design come out? [03:57] Ken1 This thing is pretty intense, I might just start over on another hard drive and see what happens when I install it first. [03:57] linux_is_my_hero: 2 years ago [03:57] ill change that now [03:57] By the way, I see with dismal that since the version previous to Karmic, the developers messed with Synaptics setups, so I just am not able to set up a decent delay on my touchpad. They disabled such option, and whatever setting you play with, they won't stay over reboots, or even over suspends. What gives? [03:57] orikon: System>Administration>Language Support [03:57] also, is there a way to do it within windows? [03:58] linux_is_my_hero: driver worked in 9.04 and 9.10 but keeps freezing/rebooting in 10.04 [03:58] ausnomer: alright do a ubuntu update real quick just to be sure, then go to system-->admin-->hardware drivers, and have it look for hardware. it should find proprietary drivers for your video card. [03:58] its not available through synaptic, I have to compile [03:58] !windows [03:58] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [03:58] rallias: Do what in windows? Install Linux? Maybe WUBI is what you're looking for. Or Virtualisation again. [03:58] linux_is_my_hero: can't get into gui, crashes/reboots. Only option atm is command prompt [03:58] and according to the plugin page at gimp registry, people have installed with gimp 2.6 [03:58] im on my vaccation 2( day ) west coast michigan .. i forgot my camera so i bought a cheap 20$ one.. but when i connect it it doesnt mount [03:59] hiexpo: i went to power management and i dont see a freq. lock anaywhere [03:59] *anywhere [03:59] linux_is_my_hero, again what are u tring to do i type a lot sorry? [03:59] ausnomer: ah, im newer to the tty than the gui. ask some one more experienced. sorry! [03:59] hmm didn't change anything, maybe ill need to restart? [04:00] linux_is_my_hero: thanks anyway [04:00] orikon: It's worth a try. [04:00] hiexpo: make my machine run fullspeed by default unless i tell it to slow down (whcih i wont, because i have an extended life battery and a power cord for emergencies) [04:00] orikon: yes [04:00] linux_is_my_hero: I thought the applet on the taskbar would lock the frequency. [04:00] k, thanks === della_ is now known as justin22885 [04:00] hi. is there supposed to be an xorg.conf file in ubuntu? [04:00] Ken1: not for amd chips. [04:00] Ken1 There's an iso that I can install that comes with a pre-configured Ubuntu Server 8.04. Hm. [04:00] linux_is_my_hero: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-904748.html Might be soe use. [04:00] Ken1: at least not the RM-70 [04:00] yuck [04:01] Drake2k: That could be useful. [04:01] linux_is_my_hero, go to power management in pref and turn off everything [04:01] can anyone suggest any other channel/ircserver that I might be able to get help about graphics drivers? [04:02] Ken1 that's if they have SSH open so you can get in that way instead of ONLY web access. [04:02] ausnomer: check the ubuntu forums [04:02] does samba work with sharing ext3 partitions? [04:02] !graphics [04:02] how do i allow SSH connection to Ubuntu? [04:02] Bigshot: install openssh-server [04:02] how do i ensure that my window handler compiz will load at boot.. i have to find it in my app list and load it everytime i boot.. [04:03] drake2k: I'm SSHing right now. I did install ebox but I've lost if behind so many windows. I should probably go and focus on it instead of chatting and (poorly) answering questions here.

[04:04] Help.. my window manager isnt loading at boot.. [04:04] red red wine :0 [04:04] how do i get compiz to load at boot [04:05] tristan3199us1: What is loading? Are you using Compiz? [04:05] yeah [04:05] samba wont work for me, its really making me angry [04:05] and kwin.. [04:05] tristan3199us1: Older versions of Compiz had problems for me when I logged in automatically - I had to install the CompizIcon and manually reload the manager before it worked. [04:05] keeps saying NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED [04:05] tristan3199us, it should auto [04:05] i have to load up compiz and reload window manager [04:06] firmware-ralink package isn't in ubuntu? tut tut... [04:06] i have the newest version [04:06] tristan3199us, what distro? [04:06] hiexpo: even silly stuff like dimming the screen after 30 minutes? [04:06] Where does syndaemon get its parameters from? Mine is working with -i 0.5 -k, but these must be default values. [04:06] Does ubuntu log gui errors somewhere? I need to know why startx is freezing / rebooting [04:07] ausomer: dmesg might help? Not sure, though. [04:07] linux_is_my_hero, ya i have ha d that issue i found screensaver did that to me [04:07] is there any way to show the address of folder like /home/user at nautilus and not the buttons [home] [user].... [04:08] hiexpo: im talking about the userspace driver dropping my clock frequency in the middle of working on stuff. [04:08] I have no idea, Linux_is_my_hero, short of looking up Google.

[04:10] ken1? [04:10] Is there a way to use WOL wirelessly? [04:10] linux_is_my_hero, hmm [04:10] how did you fix compiz [04:10] tristan3199us1: Yes? [04:11] any idea how to install this kernel module in ubuntu (considering it's missing dependencies and everything): http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5578 [04:11] tristan3199us, sudo apt-get simple ccsm [04:11] tristan3199us1: I can't remember to be honest. I think I somehow found or made a bash script that would reload the windows manager automatically for me, instead of me doing it manually. [04:11] Can I either 1) Monitor the network io for a running process without restarting it or 2) have tcpdump ignore ssh traffic? [04:11] I just booted from a 10.04 desktop cd, it gets to a purple background and displays an error window: "Installation failed, The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." === joseph is now known as Guest3875 [04:12] ausnomer: Is the CD okay? .iso burned correctly and there are no scratches? [04:12] ok streaming help? [04:12] Ken1: yes. [04:12] i mean it seems like the wizzard is no longer avaialbale in the new vlc [04:12] im totally confussed [04:12] ausnomer: I'm spent. Can't help any more, sorry. [04:12] ausnomer: At what point does it fail? During partitioning or copying system files? [04:12] Ken1: I'm wondering if this is anything to do with my failed net upgrade. [04:12] i just stuck a dvd in this machine. i want to stream it to my netbook. [04:13] E: invalid operation simple [04:13] they are both on the same network... [04:13] soreau: it was just the live cd running. [04:13] ausnomer: so you never made it to the gui installer? [04:13] how to i upgrade to lucid? [04:13] grendal_prime: You're sure the location is fine? [04:13] ? [04:13] soreau: no. But it has 10.04 installed on it already. [04:13] the disk plays... [04:13] CAPcap: I'd recommend doing a fresh install where possible. [04:14] CAPcap: Which version do you have currently? [04:14] after the error message it let me get into the gui [04:14] !upgrade | Capcap [04:14] Capcap: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:14] CAPcap, downlod the distro and do a fresh install i recomend [04:14] !upgrade | CAPcap [04:14] CAPcap: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [04:14] Is there a way to use WOL wirelessly on ubuntu? [04:14] I'm running on the live disc now I think, wondering how I can now use this to fix my 10.04 upgrade [04:14] Purpley: WOL does work if your network card supports it - wirelessly or not. It's not always fun getting it working because you'll have to ensure your router will let it happen too. [04:15] ausnomer: You can chroot into the system to try and get a cli for it [04:15] purpley: Wait, do you mean WOL _to_ a wireless card? [04:15] I am trying everything including downloading the restricted formats package, libdvdcss VLC and MPlayer but still some of my (original, not burned, non pirated in original format/DVD) movies still wont play. They mostly include the ones with exe files included within the DVD directory [04:15] any ideas? [04:15] Ken1, My router supports WOL my card is usb === Guest3875 is now known as Alloeishus [04:15] I have Karmic, i cant do a fresh install i dont have a blank disc [04:15] soreau: could you please step me through that. [04:16] Ken1, I mean my router sends a WOL packet to my wireless card and wakes the computer up [04:16] purpley: I'm honestly not sure. I suspect not because the USB device won't be running until sometime around boot, or after, thus no power will be going to it. I might be wrong, though. [04:16] CAPcap: I was upgrade from karmic using netinstall, then I never can do select language from login window [04:16] ausnomer: Ok, can you say what device node your disk is? Like /dev/sda1 or sda2 [04:16] CAPcap, did u have a problem with karmic? [04:16] Ken1, Is there a way to shut everything down but usb power? [04:16] CAPcap, upgrading is fairly straight forward, see the links from me above. [04:16] ...shut all but UBS power? :| [04:17] purpley: I don't really know enough about Linux/computers to answer that. I'd imagine, theoretically, yes. But probably not [04:17] Ken1, Dang [04:17] ausnomer: I mean for the partition where you have the broken 10.04 upgrade. Is it sda1 or something else? [04:17] soreau: I mounted it from the gui. It's mounted /media/ee279660-d645 etc [04:17] purpley: It'd be a pretty sweet thing to be able to implement, though. [04:17] ausnomer: ah ok [04:18] no problems i just want to upgrade and make sure i dont screw up, the instructions ought to do fine. thanks for the help [04:18] soreau: is there a 'repair installation' gui wizard? [04:18] Ken1, I agree [04:18] what does the "rm" switch do for tty commands? and no im not gunna hold anyone responsible because i dont plan on using it, but i wanna know why everyone is so scared of it [04:18] how do i set up empathy to check hotmail anyone [04:18] I am trying everything including downloading the restricted formats package, libdvdcss VLC and MPlayer but still some of my (original, not burned, non pirated in original format/DVD) movies still wont play. They mostly include the ones with exe files included within the DVD directory [04:18] ausnomer: Can you say what device name it is though? See the output of 'mount' [04:18] how do i reinstall grub from a live cd? [04:19] ha theres an upgrade button. sweet. should be easy. now im sorry i asked. i feel dumb [04:19] ! grub2 | rallias [04:19] rallias: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [04:19] linux_is_my_hero: RM stands for "remove" - used improperly you can delete all sorts of files and folders. [04:19] CAPcap, i am not a nice guy /// and i tell it like it is if it's not broke don't fix it /// just because it's new does not make it better [04:19] soreau: sdb3 [04:19] ausnomer: ok [04:19] can i check hotmail with empathy [04:19] Hello all, I'm hoping someone could help me hone my ubuntu 10.04 bootup. I checked my cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it seems to be loading a default monitor configuration instead of directly loading my nvida drivers. [04:19] /dev/sdb3 [04:19] Ken1: so like s*do rm [04:20] hiexpo, i was running mint and im moving back to ubuntu, i figured as long as i was moving back i might as well upgrade too === fnordsniff is now known as someoneelse [04:20] linux_is_my_hero: It's pretty useful too, though. (please do NOT issue the following command) rm -rf / will remove forceably your entire root directory, effectively meaning you'll need to do a full reinstall. [04:20] CAPcap, - 9.10 [04:21] Ken1: i dont feel like deleting my root directory, but what's the "-rf" switch for? [04:21] hiexpo, im glad you love 9.10. thats terrific for you. im trying the latest version thank you very much [04:21] you guys play pc games... [04:21] #campinagrande [04:21] i have a ps3 for games, my computer for work [04:21] Linux_is_my_hero: the "r" is for recursive, which means delete folders basically. "f" stands for "force" [04:22] CAPcap, actually i am a debbian guy but trying to help ubuntu [04:22] im cant get left4dead2 to finish loading.. i watch the intro and main menu.. then as it loads it freezes [04:22] linux_is_my_hero, it means recusive force, and you guys should probably not be talking about this here. [04:22] Ken1: so if a process or kernel is using anything it tells it to f**k off and it deletes it anyway? [04:22] Is this channel restricted form helping with DVD playback? [04:22] god this thing is confussing [04:22] ausnomer: Open a file with 'gedit chroot && chmod +x chroot' and paste the contents into the file then save it and close http://pastebin.org/289303 [04:22] soreau: so what should I do next? Is there a 'repair installation' available from the live disc or is it more involved than that? [04:22] linux_is_my_hero: you have man man or man command then it will say stuff there [04:22] CapCap: 10.04 is pretty good - very fast and some nice features. There are problems, though but isn't there always? [04:22] anyone know how to just stream a dvd from one machine to another?

[04:23] !dvd [04:23] grendal_prime: i think vlc can do that [04:23] ken1 ive yet to use any computer mac pc or any linux distro that wasnt riddled with problems [04:23] oh gosh who's going hyper about the ps3 losing linux support? [04:23] pat5star: That's good advice, thanks. [04:23] ausnomer: make sure not to get the line numbers (select from the bottom half of the page) [04:23] capcap: Very much so. That's part of the adventure.

[04:23] hey, I was wondering where the default themes are kept? I want to start making my own so I'm going to start out by editing those [04:24] durt thanks but my issue is within another area... I will keep researching and come back if I cannot come up with something within another 15 or so hours. [04:24] add mediabuntu repos [04:24] !bye | Gaming4JC [04:24] Gaming4JC, please see my private message [04:24] hey, I was wondering where the default themes are kept? I want to start making my own so I'm going to start out by editing those [04:25] opnet: They're usually in /usr/share/themes/ - I'd recommend copying them over totyour home directory. [04:25] opnet: Just so you don't change the original ones. [04:25] yeah [04:25] Ken1: when ubuntu's appearance control app loads the little thumbnails of each theme, does it get them from /usr/share/themes? [04:25] that's what I was going to go, thanks [04:26] also, what linux_is_my_hero said [04:26] Ken1, - don't tell newb'sthat lool they'll crash 4 syre [04:26] linux_is_my_hero: I'm actually not too sure. I think it does take it from one of the configuration files in the folder. [04:27] hiexpo: who says I'm a noob, at least i have decent grammar [04:27] What are the apt commands for saving the current list of software so that I can install a new machine with the same software? [04:27] opnet: Easy now. I'm not sure s/he meant it offensively. [04:28] here is a 'fun' one ... this is happening on two machines (Desktops) ... press the power button and after the BIOS screen I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor ... no GRUB menu ... perform a reset (sometimes 3-4 times) and GRUB will appear and everything is peachy ... any ideas? [04:28] zetheroo, It could be a hard drive issue. [04:28] i have themes under c:/usr/share/themes that arent showing up under system-->admin-->appearance [04:29] Hi all, I have a samba share on my server. How do I map it to /mnt/? [04:29] zetheroo, Sorry. This is happening on both machines? Are they identical? [04:29] linux_is_my_hero: I'm not sure why that is. Maybe you need to add them to a .themes folder in your home directory? [04:30] dsnyders: they are not identical [04:30] dsnyders: yes ... happening on two systems ... [04:30] Ken1: what if i want them availible to all users? im the only one on this computer, but this is somethign ill remember. i have anotehr computer with multiple users. [04:30] dsnyders: one of them has a near new HDD [04:31] soreau: ok done. [04:31] dsnyders: this has been going on for a long time and the hard drives have been checked numerous times but show no signs of problems === McPeter is now known as Noob`s [04:32] forgot where that was [04:32] dsnyders: only startted happening with Karmic and Lucid [04:32] ausnomer: Now run it with 'sudo ./chroot' and it should give you a prompt to your broken system [04:32] on my wife's lts 10.04 laptop, the sound disappeared all of a sudden. the sound setting thing on menu bar is red in color now. [04:33] cryptic0, you're muted [04:33] I checked with aumix, the sound is not muted [04:33] hey, where were the default theme packs in ubuntu? [04:33] linux_is_my_hero: Normally themes are packaged and you install them through the "Appearance" window, where they're then copied into the right directory. I think it might just be the home directory, though. Sometimes themes don't appear if they're not properly made, e.g. some of the description files are missing. I think that file might be the "gtkrc" file [04:33] opnet: /usr/share/themes/ [04:33] why does linux appear to have issues with a system that uses an sata HD and an ide cdrom [04:33] /usr... somewhere [04:33] yeah, that was it [04:34] I noticed it first on ubuntu, but fedora has the same problem [04:34] thanks again [04:34] mount: none already mounted or /media/ee27... mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /media/ee27... chroot: cannot change root directory to /mnt//media/ee27...: no such file or directory [04:34] opnet: Sure thing. [04:34] is it possible to get the "snap to half screen" thing that windows 7 does? [04:34] DrManhattan, I have no problems with my set up.. SATA HDDs, and IDE DVD-RW [04:34] semitones: I'm not sure what feature you're talking about but maybe you could check out Compiz?

[04:44] kbar: its a 20$ cameria ( digital) i bought from walmart no SD card at all. its basically a webcam / camera i bought it for the weekend i forgot my good camera at home. so the camera lists under lsusb .. but would not mount and show the poictures taken [04:44] ubottu: how many responses do you have? or are you like the hologram of the doctor from irobot?

[04:44] !help [04:44] 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. :-) [04:44] ross_: it'll come with time. hanging out here can help. [04:44] ausnomer, all the user files should be in /home. [04:44] ubottu fails. [04:44] raj_, if its a webcam and doesn't have any sort of storage, you shouldn't be able to store any pictures on it? [04:44] dsnyders: ok thanks [04:44] _uLinux: are there commands i can issue it, like /msg ubottu makefunofsomeone [04:44] :S [04:44] ausnomer, yes if that is where u stored them [04:45] anybody know how to add my window manager in the startup [04:45] !ubottu > linux_is_my_hero [04:45] linux_is_my_hero, please see my private message [04:45] word [04:45] kbar: its a webcam / camera. you can store pistures on it. its a digital camera but can also be used as a webcam ( didnt try that) but i have around 40 pictures on it i cant get out [04:46] raj_, see my pm [04:46] lol, ubottu has his own website. thats awesome. :-) [04:46] zetheroo: Are there multiple drives in each computer? [04:46] seriously, why did they roll out a new version with such basic problems. shutdown button either disappears or doesn't work. sound suddenly disappears. mixers don't work. strange! I thought Ubuntu was dependable [04:46] anyone know why my window manager is not loading after the upgrade... i had to download the compiz icon and load it manualy [04:47] tristan3199us, what WM are you using [04:47] Hi all. new to the ubuntu community. I just got me a 16gb flash drive and want to make a persistant install of 10.04 and keep a portion for windows storage too. Any I have installed before on another drive but had issues with persistance and partitions. I have surfed a bit but non really address what I need....I think. Any links that can help me? === Guest87871 is now known as Hankinator [04:48] sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/Home /media/Elements <--- will this copy the folder to my elements hard drive with all files and all sub folders? [04:48] !unetbootin Hankinator [04:48] no ausnomer [04:48] damn [04:48] its sudo cp -r ~/Home /path [04:48] not ~/Desktop/home [04:48] I'm trying to boot 2.6.34 vanilla on a 10.04 upgraded from 9.04 system and the boot up keeps hanging somewhere in early init. Any tips on getting 10.04 to boot a new kernel? [04:48] durt...thanks. [04:48] Guest87871: I would do a standard install, unetbootin + persistence has limitations that don't make it practical for a system you want to keep up to date. [04:48] upgade = train wreck fresh install -= 98 percent probability [04:48] since your Desktop is in your home dir [04:48] What are the apt commands for saving the current list of software so that I can install a new machine with the same software? [04:49] kbar: oh ok, sorry was close lol [04:49] compiz icon - compiz, metacity, kwin.... [04:49] !compiz [04:49] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [04:49] Jordan_u...I have heard that that puts heavy where and tear on the drive....but my work paid for it so not sure [04:49] also ausnomer there are more efficient ways of recursively copying files. FOr example you can make a bash script that only copies certain types of files. Right now you are copying ALL files and ALL directories in your home directory. may not be a wise move [04:49] is there a better option than compiz [04:50] ausnomer, try GNOME? [04:50] kbar. i should try GNOME? [04:50] kbar: yep, I want to back up the whole home directory [04:50] ausnomer, there are configuration files in your home directory that you might not want [04:51] tristan3199us, if you are new to linux, you should start with GNOME [04:51] kbar: I think it's just easier, I can extract what I need from the back up after I reinstall [04:51] tristan3199us, are u using gnome ? and or ccsm ? [04:51] join #kpli-bogor [04:51] ausnomer, you should do cp -R /Home/directory for each of your directories that you want [04:51] Hankinator: It's actually less wear than a persistent system, since then you are writing entire files when only changing part of a file among other things. Without persistence there is almost no wear because there are no writes and reads are cheap with flash. [04:52] ausnomer, for example, just the videos, just the pictures, etc. this way you can avoid copying the config files [04:52] kbar ok thanks [04:52] hello [04:52] hiexpo... gnome [04:53] Hankinator: If you are worried about wear you can use a non journaled filesystem (ext2, or ext4 without journaling). But with a high quality ssd I don't think you even need to worry about that. [04:53] raj_, try http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-988577.html [04:53] kbar, wouldn't the config files be in the folders prefixed by a period? [04:53] I am looking to install Ubuntu on my netbook, but I'm having a very fundamentla issue [04:53] true, dsnyders I forgot about that... hehehe [04:54] I'm trying to do it from a flash drive, but my computer doesn't allow me the choice of booting from a thumb stick. [04:54] Jordan: Not worried about wear and tear but I just want to make sure I can install new programs and updates and have them stay. [04:54] projektidiot, have you tried checking in your bios [04:54] mhm, I've rearranged the priorities which didn't help [04:54] hello guys i'm a newbie here [04:54] Hankinator, if you aren't using the Live session you should have the files and programs stay [04:54] and when I pull up the boot menu via F12 I only get my hard drive and my ethernet port as an option [04:54] can anyone help me how to configure my ubuntu login? [04:54] kbar, so all ausnomer would have to do is not back up (or not restore) the .* folders [04:54] help anyone? [04:55] can anyone help me how to configure my ubuntu login themes? [04:55] I guess so dsnyders [04:55] tristan3199us, i love gnome [04:55] jbrouhard, - what chipset motherboard do you have and how did you get ubuntu to boot and recognize the cdrom AND the HD? [04:55] Hankinator: Then you want a standard install, just make sure that you click the "advanced" button on the last screen and choose to install grub to the flash drive, otherwise it will install grub to your internal hard drive. [04:55] goodnight everyone [04:56] moring here, [04:56] morning here [04:56] Jordan: Thanks...so do the install using ubuntu os or windows? [04:57] ok so the important folders in my home directory are being backed up to my hard drive, then I can reinstall 10.04. Should I click "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" on the desktop of the Live CD if I want to reinstall fresh? [04:58] hi [04:58] hi [04:59] hallow [04:59] does anybody know why in awesome there are spaces left when I tile terminal windows? [04:59] hello [04:59] kbar: after my files back up to external hdd, should I click "Install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" on the desktop of the Live CD if I want to reinstall fresh with no legacy from the previous installation? Or should I format the partition first? [04:59] Anyone know how to install Teamspeak 3 on Ubuntu? [04:59] you should format, ausnomer [05:00] is there any way i can see all the commands being executed on my system? for example when i click "start network" i can see the command /etc/init.d/start-network displayed? [05:00] ausnomer: the formatting will happen during installation [05:00] phlak_user: oh ok [05:00] hello everyone [05:00] how you guys doinÉ [05:00] orikon, you can try using terminal [05:00] kbar, probably because terminal windows are multiples of character widths, and not continuously expandable. [05:00] I need help .. can someone help me plz [05:00] faisal, very good, question? [05:01] phlak_user: in fact, there is a very comprehensive wizard that lets you choose whether to get it done automatically, or you can also manually partition etc etc [05:01] i have acertime line 5810tz laptop wireless is not working [05:01] !ask | faisal [05:01] faisal: 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).

[05:01] i dont know durt [05:01] but it doesn't display what commands are being run from the GUI [05:01] linux: ok ty [05:02] like how do i configure it or install it .. i am new to linux [05:02] Can you play 1080i on a CRT monitor? [05:02] gah dsnyders I guess I'll comb through rc.lua to see if I can bind mod4 to open a terminal emulator that does continuously expand [05:02] DrManhattan, I did nothing to get Ubuntu to recognize the CDROM/HDD.. I' [05:02] wtf [05:02] its a acer timeline laptop 5810tz [05:02] like if i change a setting from the GUI, i'd like to see the actual commands that are going on in the background [05:02] orikon, that's why you dont use gui [05:02] faisal, what u wanna install [05:03] Hankinator: Boot from the Ubuntu install CD. [05:03] wireless [05:03] yeah, i just figured something like that would be a good learning tool [05:03] faisal: can you do a lspci and see what card it has? [05:03] mine gives me "i/o error can't read from cd" errors and its the cd I got FROM ubuntu [05:03] Jordan: Thanks much.... [05:03] orikon, hardly. try using terminal to do everything. that will be a good learning tool [05:03] i would like to configure or install wireless so it works .. right now i am running the wireless stick [05:03] faisal, what do you mena [05:03] i also have built in wireless [05:03] faisal, have you tried looking up what drivers you would need?

[05:05] ok and how do i do that [05:05] faisal, do you mean Microsoft Windows, or X Window [05:05] stop trolling [05:05] Hankinator: You're welcome.

If not (which seems likely, though surprising with a netbook) then what I would do is copy a liveCD iso that has a "Copy to RAM" type option to your hard drive, I recommend grml as it's especially easy to loop boot like this.

[05:33] anyone know how to get my software center back online after upgrading from 9.1 to 10.04 [05:33] phlak_user, I did open up xorg.conf. I have no entries for anything pertaining to a mouse. in /etc/X11, right? [05:33] does it work on ubuntu? [05:33] mado : you can ask about it there :) [05:33] projektidiot: Then to install Ubuntu you'd follow either: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html or [05:33] Therstrium: Yes. It's called ghb. [05:34] I am having some problems with my tower. I can not left click most of the time. if i enter metacity --replace it does for a minute but goes away. [05:34] it says i dont have permision to extract file to lib fimware [05:34] mado: that information is freely available, google "texas sales tax rate" [05:34] !google [05:34] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [05:34] ausnomer, I would imagine that is because Debian and Ubuntu have somewhat different missions with their distros. [05:34] greezmunkey: ... yeah ... i'm sorry [05:35] I need advice on how to upgrade to 10.4 i dule boot windows 7 with ubutnu 9.10. I want to avoid Brakign my MBR when i blow away 9.10. i have the boot CD for 10.4 [05:35] anyone here use GnuPG? I'm looking for help using it without copying my secret key to hdd. [05:35] sales tax in texas varies depending where you are [05:35] projektidiot: ... Or I just realized that there is also an official guide for installing Ubuntu from within another linux distro (though it may need some adjusting for wubi) [05:35] doormat81: yes, normally its blank but you can generate it; also check this link out --> http://superuser.com/questions/124626/how-can-i-adjust-the-mouse-scroll-wheel-sensitivity [05:35] !install | projektidiot [05:35] projektidiot: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

I can not left click most of the time. if i enter metacity --replace it does for a minute but goes away. [05:40] is there a package that will shutdown my computer before the battery dies?

[05:44] lol that's a busy system [05:44] i tried sudo [05:44] wildbat.. my setting says it will suspend if criticlly low but doesnt [05:45] daffy_: I found that I had some "wierdness" with my usb mouse in the usb port I had it plugged into. Seems strange to me, but moving it to a differant usb port (and a restart) cleared the issue up. You could try it at least. [05:45] ok i am doing so now [05:45] How do I report a nasty kernel bug? (lucid). apport/ubuntu-bug won't do. I'm confused. [05:46] restarting [05:46] \ [05:47] how do i fix my software center... it gets confused during autorization [05:47] can i turn off autorization settings [05:47] nifty: might get a better response in #linux [05:47] or google ;P [05:47] faisal: did that work?

[05:49] faisal: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware [05:50] says mkdir: cannot create directory `/lib/firmware': File exists [05:50] it still is not working [05:50] o_O [05:51] faisal: something deeper is wrong then, or so it would seem, if not PEBKAC [05:51] durt: I understand I can file a bug based on specific application. I'm puzzled on how to file a kernel-related bug. [05:51] daffy_: no help at all? [05:51] faisal: did you manage to extract and copy that file you downloaded into this directory? [05:52] phlak it wouldnt let me [05:52] says i dont have permision [05:52] no it still acts like it did, will move around and when i first turn on it works for a minute then nothing [05:52] faisal: which is why is asked you to type sudo before the copy command; eg. sudo cp file-to-be-copied /lib/firmware/ [05:52] can anyone help me fix my sofware center [05:53] it seems to have been disturbed during upgrade [05:53] faisal: that directory should already be there. Are you trying to copy a file there? [05:53] faisal: ls -ld /lib/firmware. what do you get? [05:53] daffy_: what is the exact mfg/model# of it please. [05:53] nifty, file it against the kernel package called 'linux' IIRC [05:54] drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 2010-05-28 14:38 /lib/firmware [05:54] faisal@ubuntu:~$ [05:54] trying to configure gnome0commander I get a missing gtk+ >= 2.8.0. which package do I need?

[05:55] faisal: are you sure you did the earlier given chmod command properly? [05:55] nifty, if you need help ,see if anyone is alive in #ubuntu-bugs [05:55] So I installed the i386 architecture Ubuntu on an AMD chip... what problems will this cause?

[06:00] phlak help plz [06:00] faisal: reading http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download/ubuntupocketguide-v1-1.zip might help you understand about ubuntu better i think [06:00] nifty, you really should check launchpad to see if the bug is already filed, again check to see if anyone is alive in #ubuntu-bugs to see if it's a known issue [06:00] faisal: im sorry too many people are pulling you in different directions; cant focus [06:01] faisal: what exactly are you trying to do? [06:01] install the wireless driver [06:01] so my laptop wilress driver works [06:01] right now i have the wireless stick hooked up to laptop [06:01] i want the internal wireless card to work [06:01] is it appropriate to ask for help here? [06:02] durt: quick search did not yield similar issue. I'll try other means as you've suggested. [06:02] DaftPyramid: go for it [06:02] DaftPyramid, for Ubuntu it is [06:02] ok [06:02] I have a desktop with an old integrated ati card [06:02] DaftPyramid, It is appropriate if you have an ubuntu question. If it's about rowboat navigation, you're on your own. [06:02] RE: Yakuake transparency problem, all I need to do is restart Yakuake :3 [06:02] the free radeon drivers were terrible [06:02] faisal: what file are to trying to get to /lib/firmware? [06:02] faisal did you upgrade and lose wifi or never had it? [06:02] either that, or they weren't working correctly [06:03] my audio with ubuntu sucks so bad [06:03] I installed fglrx, but now when I boot up, my monitor just displays VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED, how do I fix this? [06:03] greezmunkey to extract the iwlwifi-1000 ucode [06:04] faisal: what is the exact filename? [06:04] well i installed the ubuntu using wubi from win7 [06:04] Anyone have a recommendation, I was adding a rule under window opacity with ccsm, and it sorta caused my desktop to crash and I cannot do anything logged in as that user, what would be the simplest thing for me to delete to fix this? As in, maybe reset all compiz settings for that user [06:04] hello all [06:04] iwlwifi-1000-ucode-128.50.3.1 [06:05] jimmy51_: All you have to do is start metacity then open ccsm and fix it [06:05] faisal: where did you get that? [06:05] http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads [06:05] what command do I pass to have his gpg key in my software source > authentication, here is the link (it is on Debian) [06:05] I can't do anything as that user, what can i do logged in as a different user [06:06] nomnex, debian? [06:06] sudo gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xE394D996 returns and error message [06:06] faisal: got it. Hold a sec... [06:06] jimmyz80, can you do a ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a command prompt? [06:06] yeah [06:06] faisal: have you already extracted the file? [06:06] bazhang, I am on Ubuntu, here is on Debian, that the Bluefish 2 package [06:06] sure greezmunkey [06:06] it wouldnt let me [06:06] jimmy51_: I wonder if you do 'sudo login' then login as the other user then run 'ccsm' and try to fix it [06:06] So compiz is working nicely, except the "Animations" and "Animations add-on" plugins. Any ideas? [06:07] it is not letting me extract the file in that directory [06:07] hmm i'll try that [06:07] nomnex, you are trying to use debian packages with Ubuntu? please clarify [06:07] fais [06:07] Raaagh: Have you recently installed plugins-extra? [06:07] bazhang, can you take a look there https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bug/540126, comment #8, thank you [06:07] faisal: go here, and get it again: http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads [06:08] I guess no one knows [06:08] how much diffrent is ubuntu from debian [06:08] faisal: save the file to your hdd [06:08] i saved it on desktop [06:08] cr45h-0v3r1d3: 18.394% [06:08] cr45h-0v3r1d3, ubuntu was based on debian, but I think they've diverged a lot. [06:09] DaftPyramid: fglrx does not support older radeon cards that aren't of the HDxxx series [06:09] DaftPyramid: You will need to remove fglrx [06:09] nomnex, you want to add the PPA? [06:09] anyone havng issues doing dns lookup of google ? [06:09] faisal: [06:09] I know, but someone said to still run with it, and on ATI's website, if you choose my card, it routes you to the catalyst fglrx page [06:09] cr45h-0v3r1d3, a good topic for #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [06:09] bazhang, nope, it's in there already, but I have delete the his key and I don't know how to get it back [06:10] nomnex, you wish to add the key for the PPA? [06:10] faisal: [06:10] DaftPyramid: Well I'm telling you here and now, if it isn't HDxxxx series, fglrx no longer supports it [06:10] thanks to those that just answered the question [06:10] bazhang, yes [06:10] greezmunkey i saved the file on desktp [06:10] faisal: The file iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode provided in this package must be [06:10] present on your system in order for the Intel Wireless WiFi Link [06:10] AGN driver for Linux (iwlagn) to operate on your system. [06:10] sorea: Yes, im 60% sure "animations" wasnt working before that... [06:10] Hello everyone! [06:10] I see, my card is the integrated x200, is there any way to get decent hardware acceleration with it? [06:10] !hi gkasinath [06:10] Raaagh: Before what? [06:10] nomnex, what command did you use to add the repo? it should import the key automatically if used correctly [06:11] Hi phlak_user. [06:11] !hi |gkasinath [06:11] gkasinath: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [06:11] faisal: you see that the file had to be on you system to start with. Double click the file, and open with archive manager [06:11] bazhang, line 7 http://paste.ubuntu.com/441208/ === u is now known as Guest81645 [06:11] sorea: Im 60% sure "Animations" wasnt working before I installed "Animations Addon" [06:11] Okie.. Question on Dual head, gnome-panel not displaying. [06:11] how do i find that out greezmunkey [06:11] with the free drivers, any 3D program would immediately crash, even flash games chugged [06:12] Raaagh: animations addon is provided by the plugins-extra package. How did you install addons? [06:12] gkasinath: on either of the monitors? [06:12] faisal: double click the file you saved on your desktop [06:12] bazhang, the key has been imported but I have deleted by mistake [06:12] I am using karmic & a software wants libc 2.11. I checked ubuntu repo & backports but of no help. [06:12] phlak_user: on the secondary monitor. Im using NVIDIA card. [06:12] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name nomnex using this command? [06:13] faisal: did you open it up in Archive Manager? [06:13] phlak_user, use to work with 9.10, fresh install of 10.04 killed it. :( [06:13] sorea: Through synaptic package manager I believe. [06:13] greezmunkey i did double click [06:13] greezmunkey: the mouse works good on my lap top. i had a similar issue to faisal when i was istalling on my dell 1525, i needed to install the dynex drivers, do you think that may be part of his issue? [06:13] gkasinath: ive normally seen that the panel is present in any one monitor [06:13] Raaagh: Have you restarted compiz since you installed it? [06:13] sorea:yep [06:13] gkasinath: maybe gnome-control-center should let you do something [06:13] not, the command I have passed (and passed again without success after having removed the key) is sudo apt-get install wgdd-archive-keyring [06:13] daffy_: from the link I posted to you earlier? [06:13] Raaagh: Then what is not working about it? [06:14] phlak_user, gnome-control-cenrter != gconf-editor, is it? [06:14] it is just settig your mouse. i have had it working before on 10.04 [06:14] bazhang, did you see error msg on line 5, http://paste.ubuntu.com/441208/? [06:14] sorea: Simply the "Animations" plugin (and "Animations Addon"). Everything else seems fine, wobbly windows, Scale, Zoom etc [06:14] nomnex, the normal way to add PPA repos is the one I gave you above (substituting the appropriate info of course) [06:14] faisal: after you double clicked, you should have recieved the option to open it up in archive manager, did you select yes? [06:14] yes [06:14] Sorea: So I setup effects for Close, Open,Minimize, Shade, and Focus, but it doesnt render those effects [06:14] i had a error and it scanned and fixed itsefl but now does not work right [06:14] bazhang, I know how to install and PPA, it is installed, the key was also here, but i have deleted [06:15] Raaagh: You already said that. What I want to know is specific details like "I tired this and expected x but it didn't y and now z" [06:15] setting mouse https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 [06:15] bazhang, does it make sens? [06:15] gkasinath: its probably a gui for gconf-editor [06:15] greezmunkey i did double click and it is opened [06:15] nomnex, what about removing and updating, then re-adding the PPA and updating once more [06:15] Raaagh: Explain exactly what you did to 'setup' those effects [06:15] faisal: ok, click the Extract button, archive manager will open a "file save" dialog box. Keep the default location, your desktop (for now) [06:16] Sorea: Sure, I clicked on "Animations", and selected the "open" tab, clicked on "magic lamp". but when I open problems they just appear without an animation [06:16] bazhang, I just need to re-import the key, I can do that when it is keyserver.ubuntu.com, but that does not work with the debian server [06:16] phlak_user, gnome-control-center seems to be a one screen for the ubuntu *menu*. I dont find anything there that can help me :( gconf-editor hacking did not help either [06:16] okay i did that greezmunkey [06:16] Help !, I am using karmic & a software wants libc 2.11. I checked ubuntu repo & backports but of no help. how can i get it ? [06:16] bazhang, do you have an idea how to do it? [06:16] greezmunkey i extract it on desktop [06:16] Raaagh: Can you please supply a screenshot of that window where you 'clicked on "magic lamp"' ? [06:16] nomnex, I would do as I just suggested [06:16] gkasinath: out of curiosity, do you want the gnome-panel to extend across both screens? [06:16] faisal: you should see a folder there, go into it, and open up the README file [06:17] Yey fixed ty for suggestions [06:17] greezmunkey i did open the readme now [06:17] My PC has an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200, how can I get decent 3D acceleration? [06:17] Raaagh: The check boxes there if randomize animations is enabled (off by default) and you need to set the effect with a valid window match set [06:17] bazhang, i will try my luck on the gnupgp channel, thanks anyway. [06:17] phlak_user, not really. I need a separate panel with window list applet for its respective screen. [06:18] I dunno DaftPyramid, i find the default mesa drivers seem to work better than fglrx for me [06:18] jimmyz80: mesa? [06:18] tried fglrx and the performance looked choppier to me [06:18] faisal: read the entire file twice, then go through it again, making sure you have all of the "dependancies" in place on your system. After you are sure of all of that, then go through the installation proceedure. [06:18] isnt that the name of it [06:18] gkasinath: and it is a separate screen as far as X is concerned? like DISPLAY=0.1 ? [06:18] maybe i mistype [06:18] sorea, nah not easily. Do you have compiz installed? [06:18] with the free Radeon drivers, I get no 3D whatsoever [06:18] any 3D application crashes instantly [06:19] and I have other display errors [06:19] greezmunkey when it comes to linux i am no better then a dummy [06:19] hi [06:20] it appears as though my card isn't supported by any drivers [06:20] phlak_user, uumm dont know that.. how do I find out? I'd set twinview when configuring via nvidia-settings [06:20] faisal: read the pocket book might help you === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:20] faisal: that's why I asked you to read it twice - to become familiar with what it is that you need to do, before starting - I am no "better" than you at this. It's just a matter of time and interest, experiance come from that. [06:20] phlak_user, I dont know what I did.. but I got it back now. [06:20] gkasinath: oh ok [06:20] phlak_user: :) [06:21] thanks guyz [06:21] greezmunkey thank you [06:21] and thank you phlak user [06:21] yw faisal [06:21] thank you wise crypt [06:21] phlak_user: I did the following things.. 1) gnome-panel --replace. 2) in gconf-editor unticked enable_arrows, auto_hide [06:21] faisal: good luck with it, feel free to ask for help along the way. [06:21] why can't a create a file in a directory that has group write permissions for a group a belong to? [06:21] faisal: no problem [06:22] i think i am going to reinstall if i can back up enough stuff [06:22] gkasinath: oh ok [06:22] gkasinath: out of curiosity what happens if you type xterm -display 0.1 ? [06:22] and thank you roygbiv [06:22] phlak_user, I suspect the gnome-panel --replace did the trick.. I'll remember that and look out for similar problems on the channel for the next 1/2 hour.. :) my good turn for the day and a *thank you* to you! :) [06:22] thank you ubotto === juju2143 is now known as [J] [06:23] DaftPyramid: welcome to the club! [06:24] It's not a good club [06:24] phlak_user, xterm -display 0.1 > xterm Xt error: Cant't open display: 0.1 [06:24] Back in the Windows days, I could do some mild 3D gaming with this card, now 3D games crash instantly [06:25] phlak_user, what should that output mean to me?! Can you explain it? [06:26] This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way to acquire an older version of some driver that supports my card properly? [06:26] gkasinath: display 0.0 is the default one, 0.1 should be the second screen and 1.0 should be the second display; i was keen to know if youve got two separate displays or one display and two screens [06:27] daftpyramid - no such thing as a stupid question. What's your card again? [06:27] gkasinath: ATI Radeon Xpress 200 [06:27] gkasinath: i remember we used to do this on a Sun Solaris using xinerama some moons back [06:27] daftpyramid - Shot in the dark - Have you tried envy?! [06:28] gkasinath: No, I've never even heard of that [06:28] DaftPyramid: not unless you change the kernel too (or recompile the old source code against the new kernel) [06:28] DaftPyramid: start here: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.16.20.html [06:28] phlak_user, Hhmm.. with the new 10.04 way of doing the magic without xorg-conf, I m having trouble understanding where my settings are. :( [06:28] phlak_user: oh, ok, I won't be doing that [06:29] I am trying to reset my root password. I started Ubuntu 9.10 in recovery mode from the GRUB menu, but at a subsequent screen it is still asking for root passwrod!!! Is the Ubuntu runlevel 1 broken? [06:29] Can someone help me with Xinerama and dual monitors? Setting my secondary monitor higher than my primary results in icons off the screen and panels I can't see. [06:30] greezmunkey: I installed fglrx via Synaptic, but now I get the VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED error. [06:30] gurjeet: another old way of doing it is appending the word single to the end of the kernel line; it should drop you into the root shell [06:30] gkasinath: sensae is all yours :0 [06:30] daftpyramid - Envy is here https://launchpad.net/envy. But hey, I dont know if it will work for you though [06:31] phlak_user: I think thats what the recovery option has at the end of kernel line [06:31] bazhang, I got the key back, case solved (the easy way). [06:31] phlak_user - :) aye capt'n! [06:31] gkasinath: ok, I'll look into it, thanks [06:31] Hey Sensae [06:31] Sensae - What's your video card? [06:31] nVidia GTX 260 [06:31] gurjeet: if you press e on that option in grub, you might be able toconfirm [06:32] Sensae - Awesome! have you installed the restricted drivers? [06:32] gkasinath: Yes. [06:33] Sensae - okie.. if you have any instances of the settings application running, close them now. [06:33] phlak_user: yes.. the recovery mode's kernel line _does_ have single at the end.. not I am going to reboot by editing the normal GRUB entry and adding single to it.. [06:33] dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Status}\n' "*" but no status 'upgrade' is not shown and I know I have 52 packages to upgrade... i want to list them via cli [06:33] Sensae - And open up a terminal window. [06:33] gkasinath: I'm dropped to shell, I stopped gdm. [06:34] Sensae - uumm.. didnt really have to do that.. can you go back to gnome with only one monitor? [06:34] It appears as though Envy is not supported for Ubuntu 10.04 [06:34] gurjeet: ok let us know if that works [06:34] !nv [06:34] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:34] daftpyramid - Thanks for that. I used it eons ago on my notebook with ATI Raedon 340M. [06:34] hey guys i just recently removed ubuntu from my pc and used easy bcd to rewrite my mbr now whenever i try and intall a distro the grub wont show i mean it gets installed without any error but i just dont see the grub it just booting windows is there a way to fix this [06:35] Sensae - uumm you there buddy?! [06:35] gkasinath: It says to use Jockey instead, but that doesn't seem as polished [06:35] gkasinath: I could.. but I've been working for 20 minutes on this xorg.conf, it's a rather complicated setup. I have one monitor rotated 90 degrees and higher than my primary, and I'm running xinerama. The screens are located where I want them but nautilus puts my icons too high [06:35] JHon^: you need to either install grub on mbr or make the ubuntu boot partition bootable [06:36] phlak_user: nope.. even that lead me to the "Recovery Menu" screen with 4 options, and when I choose "root Drop to root shell prompt" it says: "Give root password for maintenance (Control D to continue)" [06:36] alrite i'll try that [06:36] Sensae - I have not encountered this problem. I've two screens one 22" wide (1650 something res) and another 20" normal (1280 something res). [06:36] phlak_user: This is all heppening in VirtualBox VM [06:37] gkasinath: Is one screen physically located above the other? [06:37] sensae - Having said that, It could be the offset difference between the two screens you've got. [06:37] Sensae - no. [06:37] gurjeet: oh ok; what happens if you press ctl-d? [06:37] you guys know when you format an external storage device to a linux partition type you have the option of taking permission of that filesystem? [06:37] That is the problem I'm having. Offsetting my taller monitor because it's higher than my primary makes nautilus draw my icons above my main display [06:37] justin22885: ok [06:37] holy crap, Canonical professional support for home users is 138 pounds per year..... you can replace most netbooks for that! [06:37] phlak_user: back to the "Recovery Menu" screen with those 4 options :( [06:38] hey guys. i hav a usb device thats not being detected [06:38] unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 [06:38] why isn't there a canonical "low paid indian tech support" option? [06:38] Sensae - I may not be able to help you, bud. But out of curiosity, what's the position set on the primary and secondary? [06:38] what can i do [06:39] ausnomer, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:39] gkasinath: It wouldn't move the secondary so I moved the primary. Secondary is to the right of primary, rotated 90 CW, primary is shifted 550 pixels down [06:39] nautilus wants to draw my icons as if primary isn't shifted [06:39] phlak_user: options are: "resume resume normal boot", "dpkg repair broken packages", "root ... mentioned above..", :xfix Try to fix X server" [06:39] i did that phiak_user and samba wont read or access the shares when that device is placed on another system [06:40] how do i turn off wobbly window effect(gnome) ? [06:40] gurjeet: can you add this to the kernel line instead of single --> rw init=/bin/bash [06:40] hi i use ubuntu 8.10. i can't install glib...when i do "sudo apt-get install build-essentials libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-0-dev" it says couldn't find packages [06:41] Sensae - hhmm.. okie.. I checked my config.. side-by-side set up.. Both Pri and Secon are position absolute. But secondary is +1680+0 offset to primary. That is instead of left of/right of business. [06:41] deostroll: check your mirror [06:41] grahamrw: System-Preferences-Appearance-Visual Effects-None [06:41] grahamrw: how? [06:41] phlak_user: wrong answer dude. i dont want to turn off ALL visual effects. [06:41] just wobbly windows [06:41] grahamrw: ccsm [06:41] does synaptic and apt-get use the same mirror...? [06:41] phlak_user: rgr. [06:42] !ccsm > grahamrw [06:42] grahamrw, please see my private message [06:42] Sensae - So.. doing a quick desk check.. I figured that if you'd had to set your position for both absolute and offset the secondary to +0+xxxx (where xxxx is the y resolution of pri) it *er.. might* work?! [06:42] deostroll: system > admin > software sources [06:42] !ccsm > gkasinath [06:42] gkasinath, please see my private message [06:42] deostroll: try a different mirror [06:43] i know in arch linux if you dont have a very authentic mirror you wont see any packages [06:43] gkasinath: apparently Jockey is what Ubuntu already uses, and that said there were no proprietary drivers available for my card [06:43] !compiz-configuration-settings-manager [06:43] gkasinath: Yeah.. and I've got that bit working, to offset it I'd need to do -550+1680, it won't let me do - so I move primary down instead [06:43] daftpyramid - Oh okie.. Sorry about that mate. :( [06:44] I refuse to believe that there simply aren't any drivers for my card [06:44] sensae - Sorry bud, I guess I m wasting your time by suggesting things you've already tried... time to call the big guns over.. [06:44] phlak_user,sensae - Phlak_user - I've tried but not been able to help Sensae, can you help please? [06:45] phlak_user: thanks.. that worked.. [06:45] gurjeet: yw [06:45] phlak_user: I am sorry but I didn't understand that "yw".. [06:45] grahamrw: isn't ther a shell based way to get best mirror... [06:45] gurjeet: yw -> you're welcome [06:46] :) [06:46] phlak_user: IMHO Ubuntu recovery mode is broken then.. [06:46] gurjeet: or they made it safer ?\ [06:47] phlak_user: a bit too safe to be usable by even a hacker !!! single mode is supposed to work on all linux distros.. but no .. [06:48] greezemunkey - Hello there, are you able to help with nvidia dual head top-down set up, please? === Jay is now known as Guest67016 [06:48] so nobody here knows how to list installed packages at the cli and search or grep for status of upgradable [06:49] eqrthling - try aptitude in cli [06:49] earthling - try aptitude in cli [06:50] anyone know much about using idevice to look at iphones and setting up springboard like on you tube?

Anybody know how to change the video settings? [06:52] phlak_user: can you explain [06:52] What sw will show which processes are doing tcpip io, & quantity? [06:52] why does getdeb down? [06:52] brando753: you need to use wpa_supplicant in combination with /etc/network/interfaces to get it working.. [06:52] !info wpa_supplicant [06:52] Package wpa_supplicant does not exist in lucid [06:53] ? [06:53] dosent exist [06:53] should i format an external USB harddrive to ext2, ext3, ext4, jfs, xfs, or reiserfs?

[06:55] but what do i do in the CL to connect [06:55] earthling: were you looking for this -dpkg --get-selections [06:57] SwedeMike: Wow - there's a lot on that page.! Can you recommend a simple one? Here's the problem: Something is using almost the full download bw of my inet connection, I'd like to find out which process. My guesses are Thunderbird email, or apt, but it could be something else. What might be a good tool to find out? [06:57] nickee: sorry, I googled for you, now you have to do the rest. [06:57] brando753: go here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo and scroll down to WPA supplicant [06:58] well, i guess ill just have to temporarily transfer these files elsewhere and just recreate the filesystem [06:58] phlak_user: (no dash before dpkg) :) [06:58] nickee: iptraf works quite well though [06:58] greezmunkey: my bad i wanted to use the dash as pointer ;) [06:59] hello [06:59] phlak_user: thanks ill look at it [06:59] am a Chinese guy, freshman here [06:59] brando753: yw [07:00] darren: glad to know that === SpinUp is now known as DanDare [07:00] i love ubuntu i cant wait til pidgin and other messenger get webcam support! === kei_ is now known as Keiyentai [07:01] is anyone else from China ?

If not, you could use Skype :) [07:02] phlak_user: yup [07:02] quick question. Does Ubuntu have a feature like readyboost were it can utilize flash ram from SDCards/USB Drives? [07:02] yes emesene is a good clone but webcam doesnt work over there [07:03] just on skype [07:03] tyler_d4: both same distros i.e. karmic or lucid ? [07:03] i read that gtalk webcam can work in pidgin but i havent tested [07:03] tyler_d4: one thing to note would be that you might have formatted it as ext4 and that fs is not supported in the other [07:04] where are u from NinoScript [07:04] ninoscript is a xchat scriptt?

[07:29] *think [07:29] xeks: yes, but it helps if your LT will boot to a usb drive - there are others here that know that inside and out, deferring to the group... [07:29] it didnt work [07:30] decompress it with winrar and zip it up and copy it over like that [07:30] hmm.. wokie [07:30] darren: did you choose ssl encryption? [07:30] yap, i did [07:31] greezmunkey which group should i join to ask more specifically? [07:31] darren: you chose pop as your server type [07:31] xeks: here, I'm just not the best source for that. [07:31] i type like this: pop.gmail.com [07:32] as server [07:32] greezmonkey, so i should just ask around or do you know someone i can specifically ask? [07:32] Is there a networking program that will let me mount a windows share as "STORE/public" as opposed to "192.1.1.1/public"? [07:32] INFO: Currently I have a Dlink dsn323 NAS providing a windows share called "STORE" with a dynamically assigned ip (router bugs out with static).

[07:33] im reformatting a 1 terabyte external USB harddrive, this drive will most likely only ever be used with linux systems, what should i format this in? [07:33] need i type in my password? [07:34] justin22885: most likely would be fat32, really sure is ext4 ;) [07:34] Are uppercase usernames allowed in ubuntu now? [07:34] uuuh, what? [07:34] oh.. i get it [07:35] point is at this point in time i dont even have a windows system [07:36] docteh, im looking to distance myself from things like windows [07:36] heh, i even put linux on my router [07:36] thats what I am trying to do. Get rid of Windows. [07:37] I'd go with ext4 personally, jfs reiserfs xfs all acted stupid when something goes wrong [07:37] my problem is I cant figure out how I want to tweak my Ubuntu system [07:37] i had an issue earlier, when i formatted the harddrive with ext3, i accidently took permission of the filesystem while creating it, though i could mount it from the root console in openwrt, i could not access it through samba... i have to recreate the filesystem.. ill probably format with fdisk this time [07:38] make a linux partition with fdisk then use mkefs ext4 or whatever the command is [07:38] ext3 you can change permissions on anything [07:38] mkfs.ext4 <-- i like this pattern === yorick is now known as Guest57882 [07:38] i could change permissions of the files, not the filesystem itself.. i know its odd, but it wouldnt even let me mount the device unless i was root [07:38] I hope brtfs doesn't disappoint as I really want to make but her files! jokes === dabomb69 is now known as Guest75688 [07:39] i wish linux would create a filesystem with no permissions so it can be mounted, access, and modified by whoever plugged the device in [07:39] hmmm [07:39] Docteh: this is funny.. i extracted the file in windows.. there it shows up some files and two folders bin and res.. when i transfer it to ubuntu.. those two folders vanish !!! [07:39] I would like to learn c++ ubuntu, what program can I download [07:39] lol [07:39] justin22885: then you want FAT32 for the drive [07:40] Guest54205: Um, I'm not sure you would want to download a program to learn C++. Try a book instead. [07:40] justin22885: ubuntu has a special handler that lets you mount file systems that dont have permissions as a user, so fat32 or ntfs is the way to go if thats 100% required [07:40] tonii, why cant linux create a replacement to fat? [07:40] tyler_ : no i mean a platform [07:40] Guest54205: install gcc [07:40] !permission > justin22885 [07:40] justin22885, please see my private message [07:40] arunkumar413: gcc? where? [07:41] Guest54205: sudo apt-get install gcc [07:41] Guest54205: Ubuntu should have gcc in it's repositories. [07:41] what's wrong with using fat32? it's a proven, near universal basic filesystem [07:41] arunkumar413: ok i did it, now what? [07:41] justin22885: I have no idea.

Part A: Common instructions (Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty & Karmic) [11:31] duudi2: it should work the same for lucid; just check that the ppa has the lucid packages.

I wish to give Empathy a try, since Pidgin takes up too much memory, :( So, how to add IRC Users as contacts? [11:37] gabriel__: right, bash interprets anything after the backslash \ as a literal so the extra space ends up apart of the -d option [11:37] erUSUL: ok now we'r getting somewhere :D [11:38] debugnet, what if I would have used cut -d" "? is that better?

[11:59] jarlg_: no difference [12:00] jarlg_: you need to first create a partition; which could span the entire disk and then format that partition [12:00] phlak_user: you don't [12:00] llutz: huh? [12:00] there's no *need* to partition [12:00] phlak_user: why would you need to create a partition? [12:00] please help... how I can fix it.. my new window is open how secondary, not active window [12:00] phlak_user: it's common to do, but you don't need. theres no reason not to use the entire device [12:00] jarlg_: a disk contains partition(s), a partition contains a file system [12:00] hmw is correct [12:01] Thanks! [12:01] hmw: wrong [12:01] no, he isn't. a disk can contain a filesystem just fine, with no need for partitions. [12:01] ok this may seem like a very stupid question [12:01] I have just installed ubuntu [12:01] do floppy disks have partition for instance? no. [12:01] but I can't find xorg.conf...

[12:01] ...about chmodding /tmp; however when I switch to a terminal, all it says is: "[9.671464]error: driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting ... creative ideas anyone? :) [12:01] LjL [12:01] yes [12:01] astroboy, Xorg no longer uses xorg.conf [12:01] rtubio: no. really, no. [12:01] disks always include partitions [12:01] astroboy, well, not by default. [12:01] rtubio: that's nonsense, they don't. [12:01] they have a partition table [12:01] yes they do [12:01] no. [12:01] So the return "Refusing to make a filesystem here," can be ignored? [12:02] rtubio: they don't [12:02] What was that cvalled that video output PDAU ? [12:02] padu ? [12:02] LjL oCean_ llutz unless you used dd you wouldnt be able to format [12:02] users are used to use partitions, there is NO reason for it [12:02] phlak_user: sure you would. Try it!

[12:04] I am not goign to discuss about this, but every disk has a partitions table [12:04] llutz: but thats just me [12:04] and every partition [12:04] has to follow a format [12:04] phlak_user: "Is there any reason not to format an entire usb storage device, f.ex. /dev/sdc?" <- that was the question [12:05] !grub2 [12:05] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [12:05] that format is the type of the partition, e.g., fat, ntfs, jfs... [12:05] and it is the way files are split into blocks of bytes and stored on the physical disk [12:06] a filesystem provides a way of working with files [12:06] I want to write a script/crontab line which would send some mail to me every now and then, prefferably taken from a file, which app can fullfil that? sendmail doesn't seem to work as I expect, it didn't send anything [12:06] without bothering about blocks of bytes [12:06] ... [12:06] theadmin: mailx [12:06] phlak_user: have you found the link? [12:06] rtubio: Heh, I knew a guy who just did "cat somevideofile > /dev/sr0" and then "mplayer /dev/sr0" without bothering about the filesystem :D [12:06] llutz: Thanks [12:07] How can I find out if my DVD drive writes to DVD+R or DVD-R? [12:07] Steve^: cdrecord -prcap [12:07] ubottu: find mailx [12:07] Steve^: it is printed on drive bay ;) [12:07] is there any advantage to upgrade from grub legacy to grub2. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 that has been upgraded from previous versions, so grub2 is not installed. [12:07] ok, you can always read and write in "raw" over a disk [12:07] thanks llutz [12:07] rtubio, llutz: I formatted /dev/sdc and the device mounts properly, if that indicates anything. [12:07] i guess... [12:08] if you format a disk [12:08] then the partitions table [12:08] contains a single entry [12:08] jarlg_: it won't cause any trouble [12:08] ohir, actually my drive says DVD+R DL, but googling makes it seem like it also does DVD-R and lshw is a bit misleading, only showing DVD-R [12:08] rtubio: could you drop the discussion? [12:08] Steve^: it was ';)' [12:08] and that single entry has a filesystem XX format [12:08] what's the difference [12:08] rtubio: hangon [12:08] yes... sorry [12:08] owenll: Honestly, no, grub2 is too complicated and weird... faster though [12:09] cdrecord also only says DVD-R :( [12:09] theadmin: thanks [12:09] jarlg_: btw, other OS might not work this way. i only refer to unixoid-OS [12:09] hmw: a VBR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Boot_Record [12:09] thanks [12:09] llutz: It's properly detected by my windows installation, also, if that's what you mean. [12:10] Steve^: drive hw can be capable on both but firmware prevents it. IBM was known to do that. [12:10] Any suggestion for a app that will turn down CPU fan noise? [12:10] jarlg_: ok then [12:10] Steve^: you may look for firmware upgrade using drive symbols [12:10] llutz: that mailx asks for a domain name, I assume "gmail.com" is the one i need in my situation. Would this be right? [12:11] theadmin: i don't know your setup [12:11] llutz: Neither do I to be honest, it's my first attempt to work with mail from cli [12:11] ohir: many companies didn't want to pay the +R license-fee, so they limited their firmwares [12:11] ohir, drive symbols? [12:12] how do i remove my SVN Mplayer ? [12:12] rtubio: here you go --> download the 1000bgn microcode from http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads, extract it and copy it to /lib/firmware/.

Initially I had an empty password set, but seeing the "invalid errors" message, i changed it via `sudo gpasswd groupname` and tried again. still no luck. changed again, still not. what's wrong? [12:23] diff's output is null... anyway I'll try and I'll come back [12:23] does anybody know how to reload that firmware without rebooting? [12:24] rtubio: you unload the module and load it again; it will look for the firmware when loading again [12:24] rtubio: modprobe mainly [12:25] thanks [12:25] mAritz: I think you need to use sudo sg .... [12:25] oh, ok :) [12:26] yep, thanks [12:26] hi guys, i just have a question about something called "keyring", everytime i log in it asks for a password, if i ignore it, i can't connect to internet [12:26] wireless connection? [12:26] yep [12:26] You can set it to remember your password so you dont have to enter it every time. [12:26] !keyring [12:27] it's remembering the password you need for that for you, but encrypted. Ideally it'd be encrypted with your login password, so just logging in unlocks the wireless password. [12:27] !info seahorse [12:27] seahorse (source: seahorse): GNOME front end for GnuPG. In component main, is optional. Version 2.30.0-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 640 kB, installed size 8608 kB [12:27] it's possible for the two to go out of sync. It'll also stop working if you don't enter your password to log in (use gdm's autologin) [12:28] ok thanks guys, i'll give it a try [12:28] Miski: which password(s) are you entering? Do you enter your login password to log in or not? Is the password prompt you're complaining about for the same password or a different one? [12:28] Hey probably more of a grub question although.. Anyone know how win7 uses the Driver signing thing.. And u can get past it by booting into win7 with it disabled, is there a way grub can do that for you automatically? [12:28] i have set ubuntu not ask for a password for login [12:29] Miski: I encountered the same thing then. [12:29] Miski: well, pretty much the same thing. In this case it was evolution that'd ask for the password, to unlock the passwords it uses to access my mail. [12:29] that prompt went away when I re-enabled the regular login password prompt. [12:29] i am still experiencing the same problem [12:29] it didn't work [12:29] do you want me to put here dmesg's output [12:29] ? [12:30] rtubio: no, do not paste here [12:30] marienz: is there anyway to disable both passwords ? [12:30] i alreok [12:30] ok [12:30] rtubio: sure on pastebin [12:30] question?Still not any suggestion for a app that will turn down CPU fan noise? [12:30] what do you mean with "sure on pastebin"? (I am not a native english speaker... sorry! :) ) [12:30] kimiskov: on some laptops you could control fan speed [12:31] dont know about an app but you may be able to do it in the bios. [12:31] Miski: there might be a way to do that via applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption keys [12:31] !paste | rtubio [12:31] rtubio: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[14:20] histo, depending on the program, you may be able to extract the deb and run the program from your user directory..

[14:51] visof_: yes edit your /etc/default/grub file and change the timeout values [14:51] theadmin: you're trying to connect the tor-controlport [14:51] theadmin: thanks, i read some posts online but that was a while ago. better start formatting, may take a while with 1TB! [14:52] where do the configurations go when I share a folder with the filemanager since they don't end up in /etc/samba/smb.conf ? [14:52] ManDay: /dev/sdc is the whole drive, not a specific partition of it. i don't know why udevd leaves /dev/sdc when sdc is actually removed in /proc/partitions [14:52] llutz: It appears you have configured your web browser to use Tor as an HTTP proxy. This is not correct: Tor is a SOCKS proxy, not an HTTP proxy. Please configure your client accordingly. ... bleh I'm stupid [14:52] Hey is there any official ubuntu twitter a/c?? [14:52] so that I can follow?? [14:52] theadmin: you are :)) just kidding [14:52] ManDay: the contents of /dev are managed by udevd [14:52] visof_, you can also comment Hidden Menu in /etc/default/grub/ with a#, that will enable the visual menu [14:53] Guys is there any official Ubuntu a/c on Twitter?? [14:53] wuu2731, What is /dev/sdc then if the kernel has no knowledge of the thumb drive any longer? [14:53] Guys is there any official Ubuntu a/c on Twitter?? [14:53] Et viola!

[14:54] ManDay: it should be removed like sdc1, i don't know why udevd does not remove it [14:54] BluesKaj, there are GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0, GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIT=True [14:54] wuu2731, any idea how to figure out what udevd "thinks" it is?

I want to be able to run applications in fullscreen but still be able to see my panals. Is this possible? [15:01] realubot: wouldn't that be maximizing the window? [15:01] realubot: you can try autohiding them then if you mouse over they should appear. [15:01] ok ActionParsnip thx [15:01] realubot: you could use tinymenu and a slim firefox theme like liquifox to get more screen realestate for browsing [15:01] God damn, I purget PulseAudio, and now I can't get into system -> sound. What do I need in order to turn off that god damn default sounds. Tribal bullshit. Thank You in advance.

[15:03] handjob: i find them worthless too [15:03] ActionParsnip: ok..

[15:03] "zero padded" does that represent 08 or 8?

[15:07] ActionParsnip: btw: i just remembered that it happened a lot before i reinstalled ubuntu (i used skype a lot) and now it happened again (i have skype running a few days for the first time in many months) [15:07] hotfloppy: what is you're problem [15:07] got a situation here - I had uninstall my Grub Legacy and replaced with Grub 2.. now I cant boot into my Ubuntu. How can I fix it? I got dual boot on my box; Vista & Ubuntu 9.04.. <- this is.. [15:08] hum. google reports that the dualshock 3 should just pretty much plug-n-play in 10.04 when using usb instead of bluetooth. but zsnes doesn't read any input from it, and snes9x won't read the d-pad [15:08] hotfloppy: 9.04 (jaunty) still uses grub-legacy by default. did you have any reason to install grub2 on it? [15:08] ActionParsnip: thanks, but that doesn't work in 10.04 anymore unfortunately [15:08] nope.. its just a my curiousity.. i know, its my fault.. :( [15:08] max0: http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?f=86&t=5901&start=0 [15:09] hotfloppy, have you run sudo update-grub ,and does it include your windows partition [15:09] hotfloppy: what I had to do befor, was use my live disk and just backup my data and reinstall [15:09] hotfloppy: not a question of what you shouldn't have done... just a technical one. [15:09] ActionParsnip: I use Vimperator and that gives me a pretty clean and usefull interference, but It would be great to use Fx in fullscreen without hiding the panels at the same time, almost like maximizing but not exactly. [15:09] max0: could ask in #compiz too, its more specific to your issue [15:10] Goodby! [15:10] hotfloppy: but to be able to help you'll need to boot up a ubuntu Live-CD on the box in question [15:10] BluesKaj, after uninstalled the Grub Legacy ? Nope.. [15:10] realubot: submit it in http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com ;) [15:10] :) [15:10] why is it we cannot have more than one apt-get sessions...? [15:10] deostroll: for database consistency [15:11] ActionParsnip: thanks, will try [15:11] realubot: you can use tis sort of thing maybe to define the window size, not sure if its useful or not: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482203 [15:11] hotfloppy, open a terminal and do sudo update-grub , first of all [15:11] stefg, but isn't there any work around for this...? [15:11] hotfloppy: you would need to take a live disk, and go into ubuntu and mount you're linux partitions, and backup to and external HDD, or just a flash drive [15:11] deostroll: the apt session locks the packages so multiple parograms cannot access the same packages and cause possible issues [15:11] hay [15:12] hay [15:12] ActionParsnip: I'll chek it out. Otherwise Unity Panel may be a solution. Is it working or are there many bugs? [15:12] ActionParsnip: about my sound problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/441358/ plz plz plz :] [15:12] hotfloppy: but not anything other than you're data, like you're music, and pictures [15:12] ActionParsnip, i realize that...but isn't there any program which handle all the installs the correct way, but allow multiple download sessions...? [15:12] deostroll: IMHO it would be possible, but why? you wouldn't spped up anything and jurt add unnecessary complexity [15:12] Goodby! [15:13] hay [15:13] BluesKaj, if I had already uninstalled Grub Legacy and install the Grub 2, did the sudo update-grub still can work? Coz Grub 2 use other command, isn't it ?

[17:15] userone, that's odd, the one I got was ntfs. at any rate simply using parted or other disk partitioning methods should do [17:15] ok, so I just upgraded to lucid from gutsy, and I had syslog-ng installed. When it installed originally it installed with the --enable-spoof-source config option. Now, when I go to start it after the upgrade I see: "Error enabling spoof-source, you need to compile syslog-ng with --enable-spoof-source". When I check in /usr/local/src/syslog-ng-3.0.3/tgz2build/rules I can see that --enable-spoof-source is already a config option listed... [17:15] Is there any way to force aptitude to install with that option? [17:15] rmatte, in one step? [17:16] wise_crypt: ok i chmod it and all is ok exept last test.

So, I'm new to ubuntu, but I want to reinstall screen (it's complaining about /var/run/screen not existing, and I'm hoping a reinstall will fix it). Running 'sudo apt-get remove screen' tells me that it's going to remove ubuntu-desktop, boxee, byobu AND screen. Why is it trying to remove stuff I want? [18:12] ok, I need to create a bootable ubuntu usb storage device, and I only have a mac to do it with. Is it impossible? [18:12] Can anyone help me if the built-in network card doesn't work? [18:12] KhaZ: just sudo mkdir /var/run/screen ;-; [18:13] russss: I had trouble trying to do that. Some people have reported htat with wine and unetbootin i t can be done. [18:13] I can't bring up wlan0 [18:13] KhaZ: well, ubuntu-desktop depends on screen, but ubuntu-desktop is a virtual package so it won't do any harm [18:13] 'sudo ifup wlan0' returns an error. [18:13] and byobu seems to be some screen-related thing too. [18:13] How do I burn m4a's to a CD? Serpentine/Brasero won't allow me. I have all of my gstreamer plugins installed. SoundConverter won't let me convert them. [18:14] russss: Hrmm. But boxee is not virtual; and I'm unsure what byobu is. This is terrifying. [18:14] It bothers me that I have to use a USB adapter to get online when a functional adapter is built into my laptop. [18:14] Is there a way I can force a reinstall of screen? [18:14] boxee is a weird one, not sure why it depends on screen [18:14] Can anyone help me? [18:14] russss: Could it be that it depends on ubuntu-desktop? [18:15] oh, quite possibly. [18:15] KhaZ: why dont you just make the directory that screen is asking for? [18:15] apt-cache show boxee | grep -i depends [18:15] will tell you. [18:15] russss: boxee wants screen so it can run the multi-task terminal out of vt "correctly" frankly, i think it's a bad setup [18:15] Docteh: I can do that, but I'm more just trying to understand what apt-get is up to for now. Making the directory is probably not a big deal, but I'm confused why on a new install of Ubuntu, screen wouldn't be working properly anyhow. [18:15] crazy. [18:15] KhaZ: byobu is just a screen profile, so it makes sense that it depends on screen [18:15] The external adapter is a hassle. Can anyone help me with the internal adapter? [18:16] hi all [18:16] how to mode up me bt [18:16] I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with my internal wireless card. [18:16] Ah; ok, fair enough. I suppose I'll go about manually fixing screen. I come from Gentoo land where I can usually just force a reinstall of the package if things go screwy, and nothing upstream gets wiped. [18:16] mcce11: you should ask a question involving the error or w/e that the internal doesn't work, and specify which one [18:16] hello some piople have a mode up ther BT [18:16] How do I burn m4a's to a CD? Serpentine/Brasero won't allow me. I have all of my gstreamer plugins installed. SoundConverter won't let me convert them. [18:17] and linux [18:17] Docteh: 'sudo ifup wlan0' returns several errors that end in "No such device". [18:17] ani?

[18:19] Docteh: That would help me to narrow down the problem. [18:19] mcce11: its not coming from a script [18:19] Where is it coming from? [18:19] start with dmesg|grep wlan0 [18:19] how do i make DPI125% ? [18:19] i'm using gnome [18:19] something called by the script [18:19] Docteh: What does that do? [18:20] mcce11: greps for something from somewhere [18:20] Docteh: Nothing happened [18:21] odd [18:21] 7 [18:21] Just 'dmesg|grep wlan0'? [18:21] yup [18:21] Nothing [18:22] whats dmesg|wc -c come back with [18:22] So "No such device" isn't contained within a file? [18:22] So for some reason, every once in a while, my screen suddenly goes black. Seems like X crashes. I can still get into the consoles, just not the graphical part. Can't restart X either.

[18:25] i think any ubuntu might have one [18:25] nope! dynamic library [18:25] don you think so? [18:25] the string is at least in ifconfig [18:26] What is /path/to/ifconfig?

IT is running the current driver. Unfortunately the 1080 h.264 playback was even worse in all of the video playing programs I have. I don't know that it is an issue with the video card as much as either hardware acceleration or proper codecs....

[20:06] genoskill: the same conf will be used if that is what you are asking [20:06] i might be too dumb to install this OS....

[20:10] here a couple of stupid questions do i need a virusscanner and do i need to defrag? [20:11] and those partition will not corrupt ?

[20:11] sorry im very new to linux 2nd day on it [20:11] i have problems with my network [20:11] christos, not on linux [20:11] i know its not my pc, atleast software [20:11] becouse it happens on windows and linux [20:11] christos: Linux filesystems are pretty adept at keeping themselves defragmented. [20:11] so im strongly considering moving to ubuntu once again .. from w7 [20:11] anybody knows how to fix it? [20:11] but as usual.. cant decide [20:11] bluekaj, what about defragging? [20:11] !defrag | christos [20:11] christos: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. [20:12] Assid, i would, lucid lynx looks a lot better now [20:12] christos, all OS systems fragment however .. the way linux writes to the hard drive makes that nearly negligeable [20:12] they got rid of the horrible brown [20:12] lnco6: hahaha yea well the brown wasnt the only thing [20:12] hotfloppy, no you're fine [20:12] christos, so no defragging necessary [20:12] or is there a help channel especialy for networking? [20:13] sllide, you could try the ##linux channel [20:13] abstrakt & BluesKaj : thanks [20:13] mneptok: aha! That's exactly the answer to "what am I missing" I was looking for :D I see they've gone and replaced the standard init stuff as I'd begun to suspect.. strongly.

[20:20] daemonTW: Not having a good run with it myself [20:20] check your md5, but i think you have to do a workaround to mount the usb during boot [20:20] i ended up using a cd :x [20:20] i honestly don't with puppy - i would doubt it is in the regular iso [20:20] but i am sure an ftp server could be installed [20:20] I can't use a CD - it's for a netbook >_< [20:20] heh === STiK is now known as z0mBieNuB [20:20] * Assid plans to stop using DVDs [20:20] just drives [20:21] If I can figure out where I can mount everything, I'll be golden [20:21] i did not get it to work with usb so no help here :( but there is a help page about it on the ubuntu ite [20:21] hey all, is there some kind an alternative for winamp for linux ? or is there an actual winamp for linux ? for streaming online radios and stuff [20:21] there are about a million audio players [20:21] Black_Phantom: audacious, xmms, bmp [20:21] for an alternative to winamp try xmms, banshee [20:21] what are you looking for exactly [20:21] me?

Which means I need to 1) redownload and 2) isntall a bunch of gnome stuff that I don't much want. If I can find out where I can mount my usb, I can just...continue through the installer. [20:23] miro works well for that too [20:23] ha, fair enough [20:23] someone.. please.. erm.. lets say my box contains 3 os.. vista, ubuntu, kubuntu.. now mbr point to kubuntu partition coz im installing it after those other 2.. now i want to uninstall the kubuntu.. how could i fix the mbr so grub from ubuntu will load when i starting up my box ? lets say my vista is sda1, ubuntu is sda2, kubuntu is sda3... [20:23] for streaming i find gnome-mplayer pretty good, but vlc will do it as well [20:23] T - T [20:24] well emo.. you can drop to the tty terminal during the alternate installer [20:24] hotfloppy, delete kubuntu partition, boot live CD, reinstall grub to a different partition [20:24] that is where you would start [20:24] Anyone familiar with google desktops? [20:24] and I did - i have NO idea where it wants me to mount my usb drive [20:24] hotfloppy: boot to live CD and reinstall grub [20:24] yeah that's where i stalled :x [20:25] I tried to mount it to /cdrom, but had some [20:25] usually it mounts usb devices in the /media [20:25] 'mount failed; incorrect argument' issues [20:25] under the main filesystem [20:25] can anyone help me with my connection its slow like only 2B/s [20:25] any live cd (ubuntu / kubuntu) will do ? [20:25] yes - I'm talking about the install, not a regular ubuntu desktop [20:25] hmm [20:25] ohhh, gotcha [20:26] s [20:26] you might need to supply the fs parameter? dunno [20:26] thanks EmoSpice :) === viesturs_ is now known as viesturs [20:26] hi, uhmm i accidently deelted the kernel package from Ubuntu, is there a way that i can reinstall it from the LiveCD [20:26] hmm [20:27] have you done much work with the mount command? [20:27] squishyy, yes - boot the live CD and use apt-get to reinstall the kernel package [20:27] and thanks to ActionParsnip too.. === marius is now known as Guest3107 [20:27] hotfloppy: huh? [20:27] hey all i have a question about installed software on Ubuntu [20:27] I haven't use Ubuntu for a while [20:27] I haven't started too - once I realized that I have no idea where to mount the drive I stopped trying to mount it [20:27] hey how do i disable usb2.0 in lucid [20:27] what you might have to do [20:27] and this is weird [20:27] EmoSpice: How though?? do i have to chroot or something? [20:28] ActionParsnip, for suggesting to reinstalling grub :) [20:28] however I'm finally upgrading to 10 [20:28] hotfloppy: np man? [20:28] how do i know all the software i have install through apt-get [20:28] <_L30_> how do i get grub while start up? [20:28] is set up the usb to boot the alternate install.. but also copy the alternate iso to the usb [20:28] Hi. I have an external HD. I upgraded to 10.4 (while I did this the external HD wasn't swirch on) now there's two drives in Media Backup and a new one Backup_ I can't open or delete backup and bauckup_ is the wrong path name so prgrammes won@t find files on it. How can I delete Backupa nd change the name of backup_? TIA [20:28] squishyy, You'll probably need to chroot into it [20:28] heheehhehee [20:28] daemonTW, good thinking [20:28] then mount it as an image- mount -o loop /path/to/iso [20:28] same as a net install >_> [20:28] http://sprunge.us/NFbG - why doesn't the entry at the bottom show up at the grub screen? [20:28] then mount it as an image- mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/device [20:28] no errors are reported on either update-grub or grub-install [20:29] j3rg - i use the synaptic package manager and then there is a category for installed packages [20:29] Hello everyone...I'm trying to connect my "mighty mouse" via bluetooth and am unsuccessful. It seems to be showing up as the name I gave it in my macbook. I cannot remove it from bluetooth devices. [20:29] _L30_ i assume u have 2 or more OS [20:29] <_L30_> i just have one [20:29] <_L30_> but i need to edit grub [20:29] when making launcher to launch something as sudo, i need to use 'gksudo /path/to/bin' or else? [20:29] oh well grub2 i use since Ubuntu 9.10 [20:30] so i suggest googling editing grub two if u have 9.10 and above [20:30] can't you revert to Grub-legacy as well? [20:30] <_L30_> i need to set vga=ask at boot time [20:30] j3rg - you can also use the command "dpkg --get-selections" to show all packages [20:30] in the terminal [20:30] thanks alot Omegamike [20:31] i'll use Synaptic [20:31] i've been using Win7 [20:31] once i download ubuntu, do I just burn it to disc or is there something else I must do? for a start up disc... [20:31] totalNoob, just burn [20:31] can anyone explain what this means: http://pastebin.ca/1873962 [20:31] because I'm on the urge of building a core i7 system [20:31] thanks [20:31] it comes from here: https://launchpad.net/~motin/+archive/until-jack-is-included-in-main [20:31] totalNoob: set you pc to start from cd/dvd [20:31] totalNoob - just make sure you have a program that can write ISO images [20:31] and lately Ubuntu 9.10 been acting up with me [20:31] i don't get how an email address could possibly be a command to run... [20:31] j3rg: you wont need it.. if you have anything like a Q6600 running linux [20:31] i can find my sound control [20:32] no i'm getting the core i7 for windows purpose [20:32] i'm hoping/assuming that person made a typo [20:32] a gaming /media center system [20:32] i can't just burn using Vista? [20:32] abstrakt: no idea [20:32] totalNoob, you should be able to do that [20:32] core i7 4GB DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5770 [20:32] j3rg, isn't that one of those quad core machines? [20:32] cool... [20:32] j3rg: I've got a core i7 system and it is wonderful for gaming in windows 7. [20:32] yes [20:32] and socket 1366 [20:32] do it can upgrade to hexa core [20:33] sweeeeet [20:33] totalNoob: if not, there is a software named imgburn (free) [20:33] damn [20:33] yeh i am considering an i7 myself [20:33] whenever i add the gnome-volume-control-applet, it only stays at panel until i shutdown, after reboot it disappears. how to make it start automatically everytime the system starts? [20:33] might be getting a new machine here in a few months [20:33] yea i want to get the COD: black ops [20:33] you can also get the MS powerToy ISO recorder thing [20:33] when it comes out [20:33] j3rg: hopefully it's better than modern warfare. [20:33] hey, so i deleted something from my toolbar (audio controll) and now when i log in it re-loads the toolbars incessantly. is there a text file i can edit to fix this? [20:33] i thought MW was great [20:34] i guess a 700 meg disc isn't large enough.... [20:34] stupid question, but how do i get the titlebar buttons back to their original side [20:34] d3javu: are you using lucid¿ [20:34] Sasquatch7, what's ur beef with MW/MW2? [20:34] lol i didn't think modern warfare was that bad but Battlefield Bad Company 2 [20:34] they were switched with lucid [20:34] was awesome [20:34] xangua, uhmm 10.04, is it lucid? [20:34] lnco6, use a diff theme [20:34] all that did was change the colour [20:34] lnco6, check kmandlas blog - it's on there somewhere [20:34] you can move it manually within your current theme, just google around [20:34] cool [20:34] d3javu: the volume manager is now integrated into the indicator applet [20:34] common complaint [20:34] abstrakt: found it a little too easy, too arcade like. just my opinion, i prefer battlefield bad company 2 [20:34] plaed it and completed it on the PS3 and love it [20:34] err do you get a free cloud account now? [20:35] totalNoob: 700MB CDs should be big enough, which iSO are you trying?

[20:35] totalNoob, sure [20:35] to fix the window buttons there are a few steps [20:35] i downloaded the desktop veersion [20:35] !usb | totalNoob [20:35] totalNoob: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [20:35] totalNoob, as long as your system can boot it [20:35] totalNoob, there is a way you can, but it's more difficult [20:35] anyone know what im talking about? [20:35] hit alt-F2, and type alacarte [20:35] actually it's really easy === MPX_ is now known as MPX [20:35] download the fedora USB creator [20:35] and just use an ubuntu image instead :) [20:36] works like a charm for me [20:36] Go to system and have it show the configuration manager [20:36] yeah? I'm trying it now and it's not quite working [20:36] bios says i can boot from usb... [20:36] totalNoob, so download the fedora USB creator and use that [20:36] but first i have to partion/install xp [20:36] totalNoob, but just select an ubuntu image [20:36] totalNoob, so? [20:36] can anybody point me to some link about fan control my laptop fans start very often and it's annoying [20:36] totalNoob, so partition and install xp... [20:37] i suck, aparently..... cause I can't git it to work [20:37] err im guessing ntfs-3g works perfect now? read/write etc? [20:37] ph0xide, how old is your laptop? [20:37] xangua, yea it is there but the indicator includes evolution which i never use at all. i'm using thunderbird. [20:37] hi [20:37] totalNoob: check the forums for some really helpful partioning guides. [20:37] ph0xide, look in your bios to see if there is a "quick boot" option and disable the quick boot option [20:37] abstrakt, hp dv61341 [20:37] ph0xide, ew [20:37] i use unetbootin for my bootable usbs [20:37] will do. thanks [20:37] how can I access a drive name that it says I don;t have permissions for? [20:37] ph0xide, bummer for u [20:37] bummer? [20:38] hp media machines are teh bad for *nix [20:38] hi [20:38] on a Core 2 duo laptop, using xfce instead of gnome will really differ in terms on speed ? [20:38] Hey guys, does anyone know how to get 10.04 working with an ATI radeon x800 card? [20:38] like it will be super super fast or just a bit faster [20:38] xangua: i think your volume commented was directed at me - i killed all processes having to do with the indicator applet, and the toolbars did stop re-loading and are now half-loaded. if i log otu and back in the problem continues. what should i do now? [20:38] http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/change-metacity-button-location-in-ubuntu/ [20:38] can anyone tell ho to install bit torrent on ubuntu 10.04 ??....i want to use it via console too [20:38] Black_Phantom, try it and see [20:38] Black_Phantom: Probably won't see a huge difference. [20:38] ding [20:38] hi when booting ubuntu 10 cd it tells me from an error from the installer and keep me to login but don`t know user and password [20:39] abstrakt, yup but just reinstalled 10.04 and worked fine before a i had lm-sensors and sensors applet installed now reinstalled and fans start evrey 2 mins even the coretemp is not that high [20:39] istvan: add the indicator aplet again... [20:39] Black_Phantom, but gnome vs fluxbox you'll see a difference [20:39] Hello happy people. [20:39] I'm having trouble looking up information on /usr/lib/apt/methods/mirror does anyone know what it does? [20:39] fluxbox is really naked [20:39] xangua: it's reloading too quickly, i can't right click on it to add anything to it [20:39] Black_Phantom: I've used both and really didn't see a huge difference when you have a good processor. [20:39] j1G5aW: either transmission for gui, cli or rtorrent for cli only [20:39] j1G5aW: i use both [20:39] Sasquatch7, alright then thanks [20:39] Black_Phantom, works pretty well for me [20:39] abstrakt, can you please advise? [20:39] Black_Phantom, u just gotta get used to it [20:39] ph0xide, i already did [20:39] I have swap in an extendes partition (sda6) can i move it to a primary partition? (sda3 for example) [20:39] transmission works on cli ?? [20:40] ph0xide, check your bios, make sure it does a "thorough" boot/init and not a "quick" init [20:40] and beside bios thing is there anything else i should do [20:40] anyone have some suggestions for a torrent application besides transmission? [20:40] j1G5aW: it should, but i never really bothered [20:40] I have a broken key (keycode=94; less greater bar). How can I swap its' functions with another key (keycode=82, KP_Subtract) that I don't need? [20:40] ph0xide, if that doesn't fix it, then go back to 9.10 [20:40] ph0xide, i had to go back to 9.10 [20:40] hi when booting ubuntu 10 cd it tells me from an error from the installer and keep me to login but don`t know user and password somebody knows which user and password do i use? [20:40] 10.04 worked before [20:40] :P [20:40] for other reasons [20:40] Sasquatch7: whats wrong with transmission? that'd help people suggest something else [20:40] ph0xide, yeah, well 10.04 worked before it crashed for me as well :) [20:40] but reinstalled it coz i screw it and now doesn't work anymore [20:40] pecar: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you run the CD verifier? [20:40] pecar: it shouldn't do that. did you check the md5 of your download? [20:40] i will use ssh to control my torrent apllication..... [20:40] i see [20:40] Sasquatch7: open the sofware center and search 'torrent' [20:40] brb [20:40] xangua: but i can open a window and edit files etc, so is there a text file i can copy the indicator applet's code into to add it to the toolbar again? [20:40] will transmission allow? [20:41] Docteh: Oh nothing, just wanted to see if others use other programs that they think are better. [20:41] xangua: cheers. [20:41] istvan: is it something wrong with the panel¿¿ [20:41] j1G5aW: transmission has a web interface [20:41] Sasquatch7: vuze is my fav bit torrent client, gogole it [20:41] istvan: cool, thanks. [20:41] transmission is better [20:41] Sasquatch7, transmission ftw [20:41] xangua: it keeps reloading (the toolbar you mean?). as soon as it completes loading it disappears, then starts again [20:41] Sasquatch7, it comes w/ubuntu [20:42] abstrakt: +1 for transmission dude :) [20:42] transmission comes preinstalled [20:42] !panels | istvan [20:42] to restore the panel's default configuration [20:42] istvan: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:42] abstrakt: i know, was just curious what others were using. [20:42] Yesternight I spent a lot of time I could've slept with installing the latest Ubuntu edition on my shiny new laptop (HP TouchSmart tm2) [I did this because I a Unix dork, and lost to the pre-installed Windows 7]. --- My installation is in an unusable state, at best, concerning input devices such as mice after sleep/hibernate resume -- and concerning graphics: Only the Intel GM thingy is recognized properly, the Raedon is not. Multi-monitor doesn't work via HD [20:42] Sasquatch7, i'm using transmission [20:42] Sasquatch7, transmission is also available on OSX [20:42] abstrakt: oh ok, cheers [20:42] Sasquatch7, utorrent ftw on windows [20:43] abstrakt: yea, i totally agree. [20:43] there is utorrent on osx [20:43] transmission also has a slew of apps for smartphones to control it :) like transdroid on android :) [20:43] abstrakt: i've even used utorrent in wine too [20:43] o rly? [20:43] wow [20:43] So... I was wondering if anyone can help me out here. I can provide the full spec of the hardware by any means and give you all the details how I got as far as I am right now, if only someone kind of magick makes this laptop usable, I'd be perfectly grateful. [20:43] anyone suggest ktorrent? I used to use that back in the day [20:43] except that KDE = fail [20:43] abstrakt: utorrent maxed out my system whenever the web interface was used on my old pc [20:43] xangua: what is the key stroke for opening a terminal? (cause i can't get to it from the menus) [20:43] is it possible to replace the evolution on indicator session to thunderbird? [20:43] KDE 4 epic faillllllllllllllllllll :( [20:43] This is frustrating.. I can't click. [20:44] Sasquatch7, checkout deluge ...it's great for anonymity if you use the blocklist option [20:44] jmc- does the machine work okay before you hibernate it? [20:44] istvan: control+alt+t [20:44] lol [20:44] they ruined the whole project [20:44] BluesKaj: ok, thanks. [20:44] hi guys [20:44] jMCg: are you using desktop effects? [20:44] daemonTW: depends on whether or not I plug in an external monitor. [20:44] I have swap in an extendes partition (sda6) can i move it to a primary partition? (sda3 for example) [20:44] !hi | Jassonn [20:44] Jassonn: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

I have a friend that carried his laptop around on all the time just to get around issues with sleeping it. was kinda funny [20:44] anybody know how to convert *.info files to html? [20:44] d3javu: there is an addon to do that i believe [20:44] gotta start somewhere :) [20:44] genoskill: why do you want to do that? === viesturs is now known as wieshka [20:44] did you partition a swap drive? [20:45] ActionParsnip: I'm not entirely sure -- this is my first time to use Gnome in a couple of years. I do have a transparent konsole, or terminal. I need that. Yes. [20:45] http://sprunge.us/NFbG - that's /boot/grub/grub.cfg - the bottom entry doesn't show up in the menu after a update-grub and grub-install. Why? [20:45] istvan: what about Alt+F2 ¿ [20:45] daemonTW: of course. [20:45] jMCg: if you press alt+f2 and type: metacity --replace is it ok? [20:45] abstrakt, Black_Phantom: what problem are you having with KDE? [20:45] ActionParsnip: that would requrie being able to type... I can do via SSH, I suppose. [20:45] ActionParsnip for have only distros in my extended partition [20:46] lol [20:46] jMCg: not sure there dude [20:46] d3javu: there is an thunderbird-indicator plugin: "libnotify popups" [20:46] Docteh: it's fairly new. I bought it last week, I think it went public around september or december last year. [20:46] genoskill: i see, not sure dude [20:46] what's the model number [20:46] Riddell, I never really used it more than 10 min, unfamiliarity for me thats it. But I heard that KDE 4 really sucked [20:46] hello guys,I have a problem..I`m trying to connect to my home computer via ssh and is not working(I use putty) can someone help me? [20:46] xangua: alt+f2 works but as soon as the toolbar reloads the command window disappears [20:46] wakingo: What have you done so far? [20:47] ActionParsnip: yup.. that worked, as in: I was able to type. But it didn't really help with anything... [20:47] I just tried to connect...I have openssh installed and I can`t connect [20:47] jMCg: then its an issue with compiz, i'd ask in #compiz [20:47] clear [20:47] daemonTW: 1090eg [20:47] jMCg: i've seen this before but am unsure of the fix [20:47] ActionParsnip: I don't use compiz. I suppose. Let me check. [20:47] wakingo: You've got openssh-server installed? Are you on the same LAN as the computer right now? [20:47] on localhost is working but from other computer outside the network is not working [20:48] wakingo - i sent you a private message [20:48] it's got a radeon video card? [20:48] ActionParsnip: nope. No compiz. Effects come from metacity. But the effects are not the issue. It's the input tdevices. [20:48] wakingo - you will probably have to enable port forwarding on your router [20:48] Riddell, my main problem is that KDE is a whiny bag of smashed hamsters [20:48] daemonTW: yes, but I don't appear to be able to make use of it. [20:48] jMCg: the WM interprets the clicks afaik [20:48] ActionParsnip: not if X doesn't translate them to begin with. [20:48] wakingo: Ah. You need to port forward on your router [20:49] Or transport, for that matter. [20:49] matrixx_, well the problem is the sound applet, the gnome-volume-control-applet keep disappearing everytime i restart, so i need to do something to automatically starts it when system reboot. if there is no easy way to do it, then i would like to change the indicator session applet which has sound. remove evolution and add in thunderbird. [20:49] istvan: can you open your home¿¿ try deleting your hidden folder .gnome2 [20:49] abstrakt: your ranting will not help you get help - please let it be [20:49] daemonTW: the fglrx drivers segfault, when I try to Xorg -configure :1 [20:49] ok ..what port? [20:49] wakingo: Forward port 22 to your server (and you'll probably want to set up a static IP for that computer to make that easier) [20:49] d3javu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/how-to-add-thunderbird-to-messaging.html [20:49] abstrakt, what's with the name calling , kde runs very well, to most ppl it's just a matter of taste [20:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/525377 [20:49] wakingo: Once you do that, you might look into denyhosts as well, to block people from bruteforcing [20:49] see if that is applicable [20:50] Aaaah... joy. [20:50] guntbert, i am not in need of assistance at the moment but thanks [20:50] looks like you may be hosed [20:50] Xorg -configure :1 fixed the right click problem.... [20:50] s/right/ [20:50] ok .. [20:50] * Sasquatch7 eats some more twizzlers [20:50] abstrakt: please stop the ranting anyway :-) [20:50] This is random. [20:50] BluesKaj, i'm not most people... i have slightly diff requirements/specs... i just tried KDE recently, it was mega fail [20:50] d3javu: try to save your session after you setup it all (System/Settings/Start programs/Options) [20:50] for me [20:50] The funny thing is: All my hardware is perfectly compatible with Linux. Just not in combination. [20:51] other ppl might like it... i think it's fail [20:51] xangua, oh that is a nice diy. i'll give it a try. thank you. [20:51] jMCg: So far as gpu recognition goes, you may have to disable the intel in the bios for the radeon to become visible [20:51] abstrakt: try out everything is an idea [20:51] abstrakt: why do you insist on staying off topic? [20:51] soreau: it's recognized. Both are. [20:51] matrixx_, oh thank you for the suggestion. i'll try the link given by xangua, if it doesn't satisfy me, then i try your way. thank you again. [20:51] abstrakt, too bad ...not my experience at all [20:52] icewm is hard to beat though ;) [20:52] anyway , BBL..BBQ time [20:52] jMCg: Well you may have to set the driver to radeon in xorg.conf and still may have to disable the intel gpu [20:53] xangua: as soon as i delete gnome2 it creates a new one, and the problem continues [20:53] cool , I succeded [20:53] thanks guys [20:53] hi guys, some one can help me?.. i got a simple question, how can i run qbasic?' with some emulator or what? [20:54] hey what is a good wireless adapter for backtrack usb supported? [20:54] any suggestions? [20:54] Samplezt: try using a DOS emulator for linux [20:54] guntbert, mostly cuz i'm awesome [20:55] Samplezt: dosbox for example [20:55] hi folks [20:55] a better question is why would anyone want to program in qbasic [20:56] is it possible to allow a user to only use sudo to act as *one* user (not root)? [20:56] how do i get and instal the development libraries for bluez please? [20:56] !qbasic | Samplezt [20:56] where is the terminal app? is it bash in /bin? [20:56] istvan, which bash [20:56] frxstrem: probably, what does the man page say? [20:56] istvan: bash is the shell, gnome-terminal or xterm is the program that usually controls it [20:56] istvan, will tell you the location of bash, which is a shell [20:56] abstrakt: to play nibbles? ;) [20:56] istvan: do 'which bash' or 'which sh' [20:57] piper69: i can't... thats the problem. i'll find gnome-terminal thanks! [20:57] how do i get and instal the development libraries for bluez please? [20:57] what kernel version ships with ubuntu 10.04? [20:57] istvan, applications -> accessories [20:57] frxstrem: woah thats hard to understand, i see why you're asking here [20:57] Haraken: 2.6.32 [20:57] piper69, sudo apt-get install bluez-dev [20:57] Samplezt : see if it helps : http://crazyaboutubuntu.wordpress.com/qbasic-in-ubuntu/ [20:57] probably [20:57] Docteh, is there an upgrade for 2.6.33? [20:57] abstrakt: my toolbar is broken - i need the terminal to fix it, which i can't open yet :p [20:58] in the repository [20:58] abstrakt: thanks [20:58] hay guys [20:58] there we go [20:58] i need help [20:58] ?? [20:58] istvan, ALT-F2 ? [20:58] abstrakt: can't find pkg [20:58] istvan, gnome-terminal [20:58] Docteh: by the way, I believe the manual page for the sudoers file is not 'man sudo', but 'man sudoers' [20:58] piper69, i did say probably === vastus`AFK is now known as vastus [20:58] piper69, try synaptic [20:59] what is command to run as root on alt+f2? [20:59] Haraken: distros usually stick with a consistant kernel version for distro versions [20:59] Chriisti: same as in an xterm, sudo -i [20:59] Docteh, so it doesn't change? === Votan is now known as Votan|off [21:00] Chriisti: or just sudo [21:00] Chriisti: just run: gksudo [21:00] guntbert: not for x based apps dude ;) [21:00] Chriisti: listen to ActionParsnip [21:00] sudo command for terminal line for all folder root? [21:00] abstrakt: i was also closing with the toolbar. but i found it [21:00] Haraken: aye, it'll get patched though, the idea is to maintain binary compatibility with modules [21:01] alguém aqui me entende? [21:01] Docteh, I see, the reason I want 2.6.33 is trim support. will that be added into 2.6.32? [21:01] If I install an application and it doesn't appear in the apps menu, how do I know what to run? [21:01] Chriisti: gksudo for gui apps, sudo for command line apps [21:01] Adamantus10: what app¿ [21:01] Haraken: what SSD did you get? [21:01] então vou embora [21:01] tchau!!

[21:05] ubuntu [21:05] Docteh, I'm currently running windows 7, but since I am buying a new drive I was going to do a fresh install of linux. Just wanted to see if I was going to have to compile a new kernel to get my trim support is all :) [21:05] !hi | vandrar [21:05] vandrar: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [21:05] Adamantus10: then install it with: sudo apt-get install alacarte [21:05] whoopsy doopsy [21:05] Ij [21:06] ActionParsnip: Like I said it is installed, but I will reinstall it to be sure. [21:06] Adamantus10: you can run it with ALT+F2 [21:07] can some one explain what kde is? [21:07] cna it be used in ubuntu? [21:08] !kde [21:08] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

I have that set up for differently [21:08] christos: sure, its an lternate desktop to gnome which uuntu uses but ubuntu [21:08] !kubuntu | Chriisti [21:08] Chriisti: kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [21:09] whoops [21:09] christos: Ubuntu uses GNOME, Kubuntu KDE.

See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [21:09] Oh The main menu thingy, didn't know that was alacarte! [21:09] ok thanks [21:09] Im dling it i guess [21:10] Adamantus10: its the app to edit the meu, once you know the command you need, you can make your own menu item [21:10] if i have ubuntu can i install kde right [21:10] because thats what im doing in the termal [21:11] christos: yes, you can install as many desktops and window managers as you have space [21:11] Black_Phantom?

You can install thunderbird if you prefer mozilla products [21:13] and they will work with yahoo and gmail wieshka [21:14] Ranjan, check your ~/.bashrc for skype [21:15] Loneclock: POP3 and IMAP - all they are the same :) [21:15] ok..proftpd is pureftpd?because when I install proftpd is appearing that has installed pureftpd [21:15] ? [21:16] hey guys, im trying to play some games... and performance is terrible... my video card is i965... x3100 i think from intel... any ideas where i can find some good drivers... my video card runs better in windows... :s [21:16] Loneclock: theres also: mutt and clawsmail to name two more [21:16] lucas-arg: windows has different support, thats why [21:17] ActionParsnip: ok but u dont know any place where i can download drivers for i965? [21:17] hi :3 [21:17] Anyone helps me over pidgin :) ? [21:17] if there are alternate drivers, the hardware updater should suggest them for you [21:18] lucas-arg: the driver comes in the default ubuntu install, you can use an xorg.conf to specify settings which may make it run better [21:18] AhmedBH: Sure, we'll try. What is the problem? [21:18] ahmed provided you didn't actually delete your contacts, reinstalling pidgin might bring them back.. or deleting and readding yoru accounts [21:19] Hi, I'm in virtual box and I needed more space to my HD, so I copied my ubuntu HD over to a new virtual one - lot of unallocated space (10 gigs). Works great, did it in Clonezilla. But one small problem. Partitions in Ubuntu are still set small, now just a lot of unallocated space. So I need to use gparted I take it. I have gparted open. Anyone know what I do from there? [21:19] rocket16: Actually i am new to pidgin accidently deleted the group and i lost all my online contacts what do i do now ? [21:19] wildbat: I am including my ~.bashrc file @ http://pastebin.com/2E02AKj9 please have an look at it [21:20] My Ubuntu One sync has been stuck at 43.6 MB (2.1%) for at least two weeks now. How do I get it going (uploading)? [21:21] AhmedBH: Well, no problem. First uninstall Pidgin using this command in Terminal: sudo apt-get remove pidgin and then, reinstall it: sudo apt-get install pidgin [21:21] Okay [21:21] purge it [21:21] rocket16: dont i have to remove my accounts first ? [21:21] sudo apt-get purge pidgin [21:21] rocket16: removing now [21:22] rocket16: removed [21:22] daemonTW: the contacts are mostly stored on the icq server, not locally [21:22] AhmedBH: Well, doing that is well too, as daemonTW said. But after reinstallation, you can do that too. [21:22] rocket16: yeah thats right [21:22] ESC2010 on QUAKENET: #Eurovision - meet us there! [21:22] rocket16: installing now lets see [21:22] Anyone able to help me with gparted? [21:22] rocket16: done [21:22] AhmedBH: Alternatively, you can delete the .purple folder in your Home Folder. That will help you to reset Pidgin. [21:22] !ask | starghost [21:22] starghost: 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. :-) [21:22] AhmedBH: Sure, is it working? [21:23] rocket16: where's that folder ? [21:23] God this is getting old, I can't find the executable for this program, searched everywhere... [21:23] Hi, I'm in virtual box and I needed more space to my HD, so I copied my ubuntu HD over to a new virtual one - lot of unallocated space (10 gigs). Works great, did it in Clonezilla. But one small problem. Partitions in Ubuntu are still set small, now just a lot of unallocated space. So I need to use gparted I take it. I have gparted open. Anyone know what I do from there? [21:23] Adamantus10, what is it? [21:23] dans guardian [21:23] Hey does vlc media player play xspf? [21:23] have you tried it? [21:23] I've looked through installed files in synaptics and nothing, but I know I've run it before. [21:23] AhmedBH: It is hidden folder. Go to Home, and press Ctrl+H to make hidden folders visible. There, delete .purple, and you are done. Press Ctrl+H to hide those files again. [21:24] rocket16: okay [21:24] starghost, i think you need to boot into the vm from the live cd hosted into the vm, so that u can modify/resize the main partition. u cant modify the loaded partition while the os on it is running, i think [21:24] rocket16: that folder / [21:24] ? [21:24] wildbat: Thanks for your help now problem is resolved .. [21:24] rocket16: i found it [21:24] starghost, so run gparted off the live cd inside the vm instead of the gparted thats actually installed [21:24] Ranjan, :> [21:25] how can i watch porn with ubuntu without leaving a huge trail of every file i open? [21:25] i mean come on.. thumbnails, recently opened [21:25] fuck [21:25] Oarion: Any live cd? Sorry confused :) [21:25] I'm using cryptsetup/luks on Ubuntu 10.10.

[21:25] starghost, yeah an ubuntu live cd if u can or any lvie cd with gparted on it [21:25] kk :) [21:25] yup [21:26] <[CM]> guntbert: laughing at pepsi we just hit enter at the same time [21:26] I'll give it a try, thank you [21:26] pepsi: have a separate user for that stuff ;) [21:26] starghost - if you can't do it the way oarion7 suggested, you might try a gparted live cd or parted magic (my fave) [21:26] rocket16: seems like that worked lets see when i connect [21:26] pepsi: Lol, what is it friend? Il things like Porns aren't to be discussed here, and keep the channel friendly. :) [21:26] Hi [21:26] pepsi: www.redtube.com ;) [21:26] Ok brb giving it a try :D [21:26] AhmedBH: Sure [21:26] Isn't there in Lubuntu a Update Manager ?

Yes, try that once, [21:27] it looks bad to have an empty history [21:27] i think pepsi is asking for a "privacy mode" for whole ubuntu just like in firefox [21:27] Okay [21:27] guys I removed openssh but when I check what ports are still open the ssh port is still open...why? [21:27] pepsi : firefox preference : privacy : never remember history [21:27] chrome incognito [21:28] hi. [21:28] blah [21:28] pepsi: well you will get some history gap / lack of istory in some way, so eaiter way you are knackered [21:28] I think the best solution would be to use a livecd as daemonTW suggested :-P [21:28] or, you know, move out or something.. who's checking your history anyway [21:28] How do I change the grub background on lucid? [21:28] maybe i should deal with my photo/movie addiction instead of trying to figure out how to keep it hidden [21:29] pepsi, Or just be open about it [21:29] okay, how can I set up the FREE yahoo mail with ubuntu? [21:29] why hide it.. or is what you're dling illegal :P [21:29] pepsi: your porn addiction?

Suse has its own channel [22:03] <_allegro> how do i manually mount ecryptfs [22:03] is compiz installed in 10.4 out of the box [22:03] _allegro: all you need to know about ecryptfs: http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html [22:03] hopeless8009: yes [22:03] frxstrem, your client probably supports tab completion [22:03] <_allegro> all i need to know never use it again [22:03] hopeless8009: if it is activated is another thing ;) [22:03] hopeless8009: yes [22:04] oCean_: Thanks anyway , looks like i'll have to pay #ruby a visit *gulp* [22:04] ActionParsnip: how do i activate it [22:04] _allegro: yep, i've avoided it as there is too much heartache with it [22:04] i need help plz [22:04] ! compiz | hopeless8009 [22:04] hopeless8009: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [22:04] ! ask | killermask [22:04] killermask: 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. :-) [22:04] if by compiz you mean awesome then yes [22:04] seems like you just need to install encyptfs package on suse. It is very easy to use. [22:04] hopeless8009: you need to setup your video card (if it can do 3D) to give 3D accelleration [22:05] I used the encrypted drive option when installing ubuntu. Is there any way to not have to enter the pass phrase when the computer turns on? [22:05] wildbat, I'm on wifi router, but its not it, on windows everythink is ok [22:05] ActionParsnip: Not if you have intel or radeon [22:05] soreau: may still need a little config if it performs badly [22:05] actionparsnip: i have a 8400 M not book card [22:05] ActionParsnip: 3D is working OOTB however [22:05] I've screwed GNOME, it won't auto launch on start-up. I have to type 'gnome-session' in terminal box to launch. Any ideas on how I can get it to start-up on log-in again? [22:05] soreau: true [22:06] hopeless8009: Which video card do you have? [22:06] hopeless8009: then you can install the driver using jockey, or the nvidia-vdpau ppa to get the 195 driver [22:06] oh 8400M [22:06] if Compiz is the default compositing manager in Ubuntu (according to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager), why is my computer using metacity instead by default? [22:06] yea, then you have to start messing with drivers [22:06] quandry247: you need to choose the gnome session on the login screen [22:06] quandry247: it sounds like you've set the session to "failsafe terminal" [22:07] frxstrem: No video acceleration drivers installed. [22:07] frxstrem: Intel gpu's and some others may be blacklisted [22:07] frxstrem: you havent setup 3D accel [22:07] actionParsnip: i sued the hardware driver program in asminastraion [22:07] ActionParsnip: well, how exactly do I do that?

[22:08] _allegro: did you read the page I sent you? [22:09] He there... My problem not changed. My fs table is corrupt, and linux see nothing exept sda1(ntfs). All my configs on ext3.... [22:09] <_allegro> yes but im not in ubuntu [22:09] <_allegro> and i need access to these files encrypted by ubuntu [22:09] Hey what is graphiz renamed to in lucid? [22:09] ActionParsnip: then my only question is in 9.10 i had programs to config compiz but there not there now. I clean installed to 10.4 last night and i dont know how to config compiz [22:09] enelar: testdisk *might* work [22:10] soreau: the output of what ActionParsnip said is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4) [22:10] soreau: I assume that is my video card [22:10] hopeless8009: install compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and maybe even simple-ccsm [22:10] _allegro: that doesn't matter, the procedure is the same - in any case you need the recorded passphrase to access the files [22:10] disappearedng, you mean graphviz? === Ginbun2__ is now known as ginbuntu [22:10] frxstrem: Yes, and it's pretty old. You could try to see if there's drivers listed in sys>admin>hardware drivers [22:10] UT8F, i have no idea then ~ ubuntu can in fact get you 500KB/s but decay to 100KB/s over time, right ? and signal is good ~ only thing i can guess is a faulty wifi driver. [22:11] durt: yeah all the nice effects [22:11] _allegro I would think that as long as you have the passphrase it would work regardless of system that encrypted it. [22:11] soreau: nope - at least not last time I checked [22:11] soreau: I'm gonna check again now [22:11] disappearedng, then you mean compiz? [22:11] Soreau: i thank thats what i was looking for [22:12] disk work, all files on ntfs reading and changing [22:12] i think) [22:12] but I can list it and read [22:12] I check firs few files [22:12] <_allegro> holocene: i have the passphase the ecryptfs bash scripts under -x keep looking for things that arent there and dying [22:13] durt: the one with all the nice graphics effects [22:13] <_allegro> i also dont know which is the default algorithm ubuntu chose [22:13] enelar, can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l [22:13] enelar, you don't wanna do a write on the disk now [22:14] wildbat, I dont think so, because I was in ubuntu 9.10 and lived at my mom, there wass 100mbit connection, I downloaded everythink on 10MB/s speed and everythink was ok, after distro upgrade everythink this problem showed up [22:14] _allegro, experiment. [22:14] sec [22:14] disappearedng, graphviz is a graph visualization package, compiz is 3d destop effects. [22:15] ok somehow my bottom bar disappeared [22:15] hi all [22:15] hello everyone! i would like to link my program with a profiled version of glibc (for example passing -lc_p to gcc) but it seems like such a library is not present. how do I do it in ubuntu 9.04? is there some package of a profiled glibc? [22:16] allegro, I would copy the encrypted files onto a medium that suse can read. Then just experiment. [22:16] btw, I thought suse was great back in the day. [22:17] UT8F, like you said you upgraded the driver may be "new" anyway i can't help you , it seems everything is not the case.... may be you can include the little detail on the forum topic and see if anyone figure that out [22:17] I remember that ubuntu specifically has this software that allows you to add special effects like cube, transparency etc === ech is now known as Guest96849 [22:17] alright, i can't install openal.. anyone know why? im on lucid 64 bit [22:18] I created a bootable usb stick of 10.04 server, I'm able to boot off it and start the isntall but it fails trying to detect the optical drive.

I want to make a limited guest group -- which can do the web. period. [22:24] I have a choice "group settings" and I dont understand what to choose. [22:25] Theravadan: that's strange, menu.lst is for grub, grub.cfg for grub2.

(Licid) [22:26] Lucid [22:26] VCoolio, I did a new install of 10.04 but for some reason grub2 wasn't installed yet menu.lst and grub.cfg were both there.. so I installed grub2 which picks up the new kernel version with update-grub2.. i will mv menu.lst to /var/tmp [22:27] hopefully that will do it [22:27] TheFaioli: what happened? [22:27] * Theravadan nervously reboots [22:28] guntbert: Upgraded from Karmic, and restart/shutdown is not working anymore. [22:29] TheFaioli: in what way is it not working?

[22:32] guntbert: Thanks anyway.... what's weird is that I upgraded, no settings should've been changed (uh-huh). [22:32] TheFaioli: try on CLI: sudo halt - does that work?

[22:38] aN00B1s: you tried to install Ubuntu and you got that message on startup? [22:38] Don't make us guess.. [22:38] mcl0vin: is rfcommSocketComminucator the entire error? [22:38] Have you searched google? [22:39] rooob: yes.. something about corrupt disk, but installation was good [22:39] !google | rooob [22:39] rooob: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [22:39] aN00B1s: do you have a usb drive? [22:39] aN00B1s, corrupt diask and you wonder why you have issues? be serious [22:40] heh [22:40] aN00B1s: I don't care if the installation sang kum-bah-yah to you, if it says your disk is corrupt.. maybe you should make a new disk.. [22:40] yes, i have [22:40] !checkum|anoob1s === rusty is now known as Guest67723 [22:40] and reinstall system? [22:40] !checkum|an00b1 [22:40] aN00B1s: no, copy all the files one at a time..

[22:41] does someone know if pulseaudio has improved in 10.04lts when playing WoW or does it still need to be reverted to ALSA drivers? [22:41] rooob: > yeah, but whatcha gonna do? [22:41] manulau: omg don't use pulse.. [22:42] ok, thanks [22:42] acerimmer_: I'm going to paste my links :X [22:42] if i overwrote the partition table on a hard drive by reformatting the drive as another file format, is there any way to rebuild the previous partition table? [22:43] mastahyeti: ehhhh [22:43] how much did you overwrite? [22:43] You could restore if you have the first 512b backed up.. [22:43] rooob: so... i need to check md5checksum of my cd disk? [22:43] rooob: "rfcomm connect hci0:00:26:5F:xx:xx:xx [22:43] Can't find a config entry for rfcomm0 [22:44] aN00B1s: I dunno, read mastahyeti's link [22:44] aN00B1s: checksum the iso AND the burned disk. [22:44] you check the md5 of the downloaded iso [22:44] ok, when i burn the disk, what i need do after that? [22:45] aN00B1s, To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:45] ok, my disk will be varify, without corrupt and what i need to do after that? %) [22:45] < mcl0vin> i am trying to use my bluetooth and i can pair and everything but i am getting an error in my smartphone rfcommSocketComminucator .. first of all, what are you trying to do? Pair everything? Pair what? [22:45] aN00B1s, and dont use Windows dvd burner thats in by defualy use a proper burner application. there is numerous free ones if your burning the disk in windows. [22:46] rooob: may I PM you? [22:46] guntbert: I can't stop you [22:46] I mean I won't angry :p [22:46] rooob: just say no and I won't [22:46] rooob: well ithought it was paird...i am trying to get my phone paired to my box [22:47] With a 2 gb ram system, do we still need a swap partition for a desktop? [22:47] eh.. when i check checksum and burn disk in linux, what i need do?.. [22:47] InvaderZim: highly advised but you might want to load a lighter version i.e. LUbuntu [22:47] acerimmer_: why ? [22:47] you think 2 gb is low? [22:48] InvaderZim: I sometimes need a gig of swap when running vmware, firefox, chromium simultaneously, on my 2gig system (arch install, xmonad wm).. So you def want a swap.. [22:48] I've never seen swap being used on my desktop [22:48] where's audacity's plugins folder? [22:48] rooob: when I check checksum and burn disk in linux, what i need do?.. === Votan is now known as Votan|off [22:48] InvaderZim: why are you worried abt disk space? [22:48] InvaderZim: load up enough processes and you experience slow downs. swap is meant to overcome that issue. [22:49] aN00B1s: make sure the md5sums match. It's an integrity test. [22:49] InvaderZim, I have 8gbs of ram and still use a swapfile is it overkill probably but I sooner be safe then sorry and a 2gig system i would make a 4 gig swapfile [22:49] InvaderZim: you should be able to make a swap file later on.. I'm pretty sure there is kernel support for that now. [22:49] gee 4 gig? [22:50] do you run complex computations and calculations? [22:50] just got a new 1tb wd elements. when trying to mount it (external) i get : Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12 ...... I didn't format it at the first place but added some data to it so i am trying to save this situation before i format it (250 gb is quite an amount before formatting and adding them again) [22:50] InvaderZim: 2Gb is plenty, also for gnome, except if you're doing video editing and stuff; a small swap is ok if you can spare the disk space [22:50] You should be safe without it starting out if you're dead set on not using up the 2gigs of disc space for swap. [22:50] its for a netbook [22:50] InvaderZim, typical rule of thumb is swap is x2 memeory [22:50] disc space is as cheap as what.. 6 cents/gig in some cases? [22:50] cant change hd size, and its dual boot [22:50] rooob: i can't understand, for what I need check iso and burn it? [22:51] I was thinking 512mb for swap [22:51] rooob: explain me please.. [22:51] InvaderZim, then use the netbook remix of ubuntu it has lower demands and is optomized for situations like that [22:51] InvaderZim, i run a netbook with 1gig ram fine without swap. granted its only running like browser, IM, maybe some file operations etc but it never gets near the max. [22:51] remix has a weird menu [22:51] you can always add apps as needed space allowing [22:51] are the netbooks fast ? [22:51] yeah like rockets! [22:52] well its running vista cpu eater [22:52] xD [22:52] lol [22:52] 1.6 GHz is kinda slow no ? i mean u notice the difference ? [22:52] andai: in+directory+unix [22:52] thevishy netbooks have mobile processors (slow and tinny) [22:52] nupp vista sucks [22:52] andai: google it [22:52] right [22:52] thevishy, the newer netbooks are a godsend for my Niece, she just needas stable, easy to carry computer for school and they work great espcially given the new Chipsets that are out now even dual-core netbooks === vastus`AFK is now known as vastus [22:53] new hd wd 1tb elements won't mount , i get this : Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12 ....... anyone? [22:53] aN00B1s: use google. I'm not your personal tutorial. [22:53] rooob "Basic UNIX Commands for Working with Directories" [22:53] rooob is that right? :P [22:53] "how to md5sum" [22:53] andai ignore first post.. stupid lmgtfy js.. [22:53] linuxmonster, true ,they indeed redefine portability ... i heard ppl saying i need a netbook for portability and laptop for home use [22:53] rooob: wat [22:53] do netbooks come with more than Atom thugh ? [22:53] all of u can get the windows 7 ultimate 32bit or 64 bit full version from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMezYWV-W8w [22:53] obreiro, I dont want to start a agrugemnt But I dissagree that netbooks today are puny, slow and of little use [22:54] kosnick1: try formatting it first? [22:54] I have a AWUS036H and in ubuntu 10.04 it is very slow 135 Kbps Max. But in windows I can get 2.5 MBytes per second. How do I fix this. [22:54] aN00B1s: files sometimes get corrupted during transfer, you md5 check a file and compare the checksum you get to a published one to make sure your image is ok before burning [22:54] can 10.04lts be reverted to alsa drivers as 9.10 could? [22:54] linuxmonster I have a AMD phenom II quad cores, 3 GHz, compare it [22:54] rooob: nothing was backed up. i was more hoping that i could re-create the table from scratch [22:54] aN00B1s: also try torrenting.. that automatically hash checks download integrity-- is more trustworthy than http/ftp over random_browser [22:54] точно русский [22:54] rooob : ok this could (is actually) a solution, the question is why it is not working with ubuntu while it is working with MS?

[23:02] aN00B1s, the disk should have WUBI on it you can run that while in windows and get a taste of Ubuntu. it also can install Ubuntu if you decide you want to use it.

[23:05] nupp ,,, but it,s a feature and i have to ?? use it [23:05] kosnick1: I thought this was a new disk [23:05] LOL [23:05] killermask: did you do a google search? What have you tried already? [23:06] yeab [23:06] rooob I am, actually. Have you succeeded in this? [23:06] rooob : it is a new disk , but it comes formatted as far as i know [23:06] i tryed [23:06] are the mediawiki packages in lucid likely to get upgraded to 1.16, or will they stay on 1.15? [23:06] New disks do not come formatted when you buy one kosnick1 [23:07] linuxmonster: some do :) [23:07] killermask: try pyrit [23:07] linuxmonster : ok , but i was able to add data to it, and read them [23:07] linuxmonster: external ones usually come formatted for example [23:07] linuxmonster: i can't understand mean of install... i have ubuntu already, i show screenshot to you [23:08] killermask: I had no idea how to use it but i head it cracks the stronger kind of security much faster than brute force [23:08] andai: yeah, but you should learn how to do it yourself.

[23:24] <|Night_Elf|> I have scraped my 8.04 and have installed now 10.04. There are some really annoying things, such as the lack of button/address location bar, the volume slider is horizontal(?) and the more important, I can't seem to find some software in the repos, which was there in 8.04. Why? :( [23:24] yeah [23:24] ElementalWarrior: pastebin the output of ifconfig [23:25] |Night_Elf|: i believe you can bring up the location bar with ctrl+l. as for software, some things will have been removed for various reasons... what specifically didn't you find? [23:25] |Night_Elf|: do you have the universe and multiverse sources enabled? [23:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/441508/ [23:26] VCoolio no.. it doesn't work. i tried to boot of the cd and after the ubuntu loading screen it gives me a load of errors.. "DRDY ERR", "UNC", "exception Emask" .. i don't know what they all mean [23:26] my wireless card is eth1 for some reason [23:26] cause it should be wlan0 or something similar right? [23:26] any one tell me how to config ettercap on ubuntu [23:26] hey i want to create a desktop icon that takes me to specific irc channels [23:26] <|Night_Elf|> LjL: Well, the first I looked for was the playstation emulator, PCSX. It's not there.. and it worked beautifuly in 8.04 [23:26] icons* [23:27] rooob, any ideas? [23:27] howdy [23:27] DjDark, why not just set up favorites in your Xchat or similar so it auto joins a given channel [23:28] azolap: neither do I; seems really messed up then; try adding the disk on another pc and see if it can read it (remove the right jumper thingy first so it becomes a secondary drive); good luck with it, I'm out [23:29] i'm high and thinking too hard, lol, yeah favs work [23:29] DjDark: i run chatzilla as a firefox addon. I set up a #ubuntu as the default channel on launch [23:29] oh :* [23:29] :(( [23:29] <|Night_Elf|> LjL: another removal I can't seem to find is the "Gnome Roaster" for cd/dvd burning. For some reason, I find Brasero buggy, it goes to 100% and then tells me the burning failed. The cd works ok though. But still... [23:29] is 10.04 supposed to have floppy disk support out of the box? [23:30] where would i find GParted' [23:30] does anyone know what "DRDY ERR", "UNC", "exception Emask" errors mean when trying to boot from ubuntu livecd? is there a way i can recover the data on my hard disk?! [23:30] on my computer [23:30] BitEncrypt: sudo apt0get install gparted [23:30] gah [23:30] BitEncrypt: sudo apt-get install gparted [23:30] I still use gnomebaker instead of brasero [23:30] its on my comp. [23:30] just cant find it [23:30] BitEncrypt: if you want yo edit partitions use your lie cd or gparted's live cd [23:30] BitEncrypt: you installed it? [23:30] zeleftikam: mine did. try --> modprobe floppy [23:30] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: what version of ubuntu have you ?

[23:32] I suppose, nightelf [23:32] let me check [23:33] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: its not. Searching for it gives me nothing [23:33] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: and i have all 3 major repos activated [23:34] odd, nightelf [23:34] I have it right here in front of me [23:34] Please HELP anyone?

[23:35] broadcom 43225 [23:35] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: so then.. that might be the case for PCSX ? [23:36] wow.. someone forgot to edit a text file lol@"floodbot" [23:36] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: i want to see why synaptics reports that there is no gnomebaker package. When on the other hand apt-get just installed it [23:36] when i was extremely impoverished i used to buy a loaf of white bread and mustard and just eat mustard sandwiches [23:36] now i can't eat mustard anymore [23:37] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: I just searched for the playstation emulator pcsx in synaptics and it didn't show [23:37] Night_Elf: I understand you want to find that out [23:37] * mbrproblem10 bows to all the nice people.

[23:39] hi ostap [23:39] scrip: package appears not to have karmic update. [23:39] well rooob it "connects" but it doesnt actually let me connect, all pings return errors, and no internet connection at all [23:39] <|Night_Elf|> henkpostma: lol. I think I did. But I will make sure once again [23:39] I just moved my RAID array from one physical machine to another, and it seems to be running fine except it isn't detecting the network interface (eth0). Do I need to somehow force it to re-detect all the hardware (since the entire set of hardware is different)? [23:39] <|Night_Elf|> rooob: ooo.. sexy [23:39] <|Night_Elf|> :p [23:39] tsrk: it should detect the new hardware automatically.. it might get new interface names though.. eth2, eth3 or similar [23:39] i tested it a long time ago so I don't know anything about this stuff anymore [23:40] I mean, that would only explain it if you just enabled 'universe' just now [23:40] Slart: unfortunately I don't see any ethX interfaces in "ifconfig"... is there somewhere else to check? [23:41] Can anyone tell me if its possible to reload a mbr from a backup mbr.bin file? [23:41] please anyone could help me for my problem ? [23:41] tsrk: most likely, if your / is on new hw [23:41] mbrproblem10, use dd commoand [23:41] mbrproblem10: that depends [23:42] henkpostma: on what? [23:42] mbrproblem10: if I'm not mistaking, the first partitions (not extended) are in the MBR [23:42] tsrk: nope.. that probable means you have to fix something.. afaik network cards and such are very well supported.. not sure what might be wrong.. try running lspci and see if you can find the nic and it's id string.. try googling for that [23:42] <|Night_Elf|> Scrip: what problem? [23:42] ElementalWarrior: any messages when putting if down/up? [23:42] I forgot where the others are [23:42] how can i downgrade kopete? [23:42] what do you mean rooob?

[23:43] Slart: lspci shows it, and it works automatically from a live CD, so it's definitely supported. Is there something that the live CD does to detect new hardware?

(by the way sorry for my bad english I'm french) [23:48] henkpostma: I originally used qparted (off of the ubuntu live usb or is it gparted) to move a windows 7 partition. This failed. I attempted to use Testdisk to locate it. However, that failed, and lost my Lucid partition. All i really want now is my lucid partition back. I made two backups of the mbr. One using the command line which produced this mbr.bin file and also a backup using Testdisk. However, the testdisk will not load the backup.
