[00:01] ubunto mania [00:01] When i go to disk manager the mac hard drive shows up, also in gparted it shows up and even shows that sdb2 is hfs+ but in devices it only shows sdb1 and sdb no sdb2 when i try mount /dev/sdb2 says device cannot be found [00:01] <|Night_Elf|> so. Now that 10.04 doesn't have PCSX, what remains to use as a playstation emulator ? [00:02] |Night_Elf|, it's quite likely that you could manually install the package from an older version (not guaranteed, just likely), though [00:02] <|Night_Elf|> I have run ePCSXe for windows via wine, but it was unstable [00:02] |Night_Elf|, google I think maybe your best friend [00:02] <|Night_Elf|> ePSXe was it called i think [00:02] anyone have any ideas on this mount issue?

[00:13] Dizkonnekted, hmm [00:13] Moral_, alt+f2 [00:14] Dizkonnekted, That's over my head. Try asking on the forums, I am sorry. [00:14] anyone know how to get a Bluetooth device to register as a serial device [00:14] merma, what you can do is start a terminal, type screen, then run the gnome-volume-control-applet command then close the terminal and it will stay [00:14] Moral_, no problems, thanks anyway - ill ask in channel again in a while [00:14] Dizkonnekted, good idea. [00:15] Moral_, cool didn't know about screen [00:15] I asked this awhile ago but didn't get a response, so here goes again: I'm using gnome and my menus are all messed up; when I try to add an item to a menu, it appears under _another_ menu as well, and if I delete the occurrence under the other menu, they both disappear. How can I fix this or re-configure my menus or something? [00:15] merma, screen is super useful! [00:15] ok so in gparted i see /dev/sdb2 as an hfs+, mount command says it doesnt exist, any ideas?

It's not showing up in Mnitor Preferences. [00:15] velociostrich: If you don't get a response again you should post in the forums [00:16] NewWorld: I might try that, but first I think I might try just re-installing whatever package handles the menus [00:16] Lol the GNOME package? [00:16] pietro10, when I run video from my comp through HDMI to my TV i had to restart my computer. [00:17] yeah here's the thing [00:17] <|Night_Elf|> LjL: another thing I notice is that after installing the nVidia proprietary drivers in 10.04, the alternative mouse pointers don't work for me.

Thanks for the hint. doing that now [00:18] kewlioo, I asked you over at #kubuntu [00:18] zeleftikam: you'd have to run smartmontools [00:19] pietro10, I know in the power management settings you can change what happens when the screen is closed, you might want to mess with those. [00:19] Im new to Ubunto but not Nix. I have found the terminal program but it doesnt run as root. I am used to _not_ having to type sudo for root commands, where is the 'root terminal' in Ubuntu? [00:19] |Night_Elf|, no problem, hope it helps, it doesnt happen in real time like the rest of the theming options lol [00:19] kewlioo, install smbclient [00:19] Alloeishus, you can do sudo su, or sudo -i [00:19] velociostrich: don't know if it would help you or not, but there is a package simply called 'menu' [00:19] Moral_: no I mean when I start it up with the laptop screen closed === fred_ is now known as Guest41938 [00:20] the dock will set the display to the external one [00:20] Moral awesome worked like a charm.

Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [00:22] and it does come with a driver [00:22] onetinsoldier: it's alacarte that edits the menus; I might try looking for configuration files [00:22] but I have never installed a driver [00:22] !enter | Punza81 [00:22] Punza81: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:22] velociostrich: oh, roger. well, i thought it perhaps was worth a look [00:22] sorry [00:22] NewWorld .. on the ubuntu installation disk i am choosing "Run ubuntu with no changes to your computer" .. is this the correct option for livecd ? [00:23] azolap: yes [00:23] azolap: Yeh, that sounds right [00:23] azolap, yes [00:23] Punza81, most websites that have drivers for linux will tell you how to install it, or it will automatically install it. [00:23] onetinsoldier: I found a section in the GNOME System Administration Guide on menus that looks promising... thanks for the help anyways [00:23] ok well then why is it giving me DRDY ERR if it doesn't use the hard disk? [00:23] when i try to run the livecd [00:23] azolap: "run ubuntu with no changes to your computer" just doesn't install it [00:23] velociostrich: roger that. good luck! [00:23] so you can use it, but it won't change what's on your harddrive [00:23] do you mind pointing me in the right direction [00:23] what does this mean...You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [00:24] okay here's another question [00:24] but if it doesn't neeed to use my hard drive why is it giving me DRDY ERR ? [00:24] Hello! Do you guys know of a program for Ubuntu which can put a logo (authors name,etc) in pictures? I can do it with gimp but manually, pic by pic, is there anything to do it automatically in a folder filled with photos? thx! [00:24] I'm in Network Settings > Wireless, but when I hit New I have to enter stuff [00:24] wow, ok that was easier than i thought. [00:24] azolap, can you use the cd to boot another pc? [00:24] Is there an autodetect button or something? [00:24] this is a Dell Precision M6400 [00:24] azolap: if you want to install, there's a tool to do that [00:24] daniel32708: imagemagick and the program 'convert' that comes with it [00:24] and I have an AirPort built into my iMac for wireless networks [00:24] why can't i hide partitions with a udev rule anymore in lucid? [00:24] Punza81: it would've helped to say that it was a wireless networking adapter :) [00:25] Punza81: I had to google it [00:25] I have a tab open in one set of tabs within one window & I would like to open that same tab {all by itself} within another window without having to do copy & paste.Does anybody know if there is a shortcut {keyboard command} for this ?? [00:25] BitEncrypt, it means you have a nivida card and you're not using the nivida driver. It wants you to edit your X config so You can add the nivida driver then It wants you to restart X. X is your GUI. [00:25] Punza81: is your problem that it doesn't work? [00:25] <|Night_Elf|> ok. The mouse pointer works ok when disabling desktop effects and setting them to None. The other two options, Norm< [00:25] Dizkonnekted yes i can use this cd to boot another pc but not my laptop which is messed up. i just want to recover the files on the hdd by booting into livecd or something [00:25] <|Night_Elf|> ok. The mouse pointer works ok when disabling desktop effects and setting them to None. The other two options, Normal and Extra, dont work [00:25] velociostrich no i don't want to install ubuntu,i already have it installed but i can't boot it. i also can't boot the livecd [00:26] I need some help getting a Bluetooth device to register as a serial device [00:26] how would i do this [00:26] azolap, be sure your laptop is actually booting from the cd, check the boot options [00:26] azolap: as for not being able to boot to the livecd, you could go into your bios and set the boot order [00:26] for all you RAID people: Can I pull a RAID5 disk out while Ubuntu is running and be fine? LSI MegaRAID SCSIU320 [00:26] gopa: private? [00:26] henkpostma: thx friend! [00:26] velociostric: have struggled to do this re this wireless card === fdv_ is now known as FelipeDiazVera [00:27] azolap: that is, you have to specify for your comp to try booting from a cd before your HD [00:27] Dizkonnekted but it gives me the cd menu.. i.e "Run without changes to computer" "Boot from first disk" etc so it must be loading from the cd [00:27] eg. I was on www.linux-drivers.org [00:27] <|Night_Elf|> It was metioned elsewhere too that for some reason, the combination compiz/ubuntu10.04/nvidia chokes sometimes for small things. [00:27] velociostrich CD is set as my first boot option [00:27] zeleftikam, I believe so, you can hot swap, but I would get a second opinion. [00:27] Punza81: that might not have been a good purchase; I really don't know if you could even get it to work [00:27] azolap: I don't know what to say then [00:27] zeleftikam: yes, but it is tricky to refresh the drives. I have to log out and log back in... [00:27] :( [00:27] and typed in my model name. No deal [00:28] azolap, and its only after this menu appears your getting the notice about the hdd? or just before? [00:28] Punza81: that is, there's a lot of RTL818x-based cards that have support in the kernel [00:28] Moral_>> switch10_ >> yeah I don't want to corrupt the fs or crash the drive [00:28] but i would like to simulate a filure [00:28] failure [00:29] Punza81: actually, I just googled for your card and it says that there is a driver on the CD [00:29] |Night_Elf|: do the compositing and 3d effects work ok when you enable them? is this just a problem with your mouse cursor only when they're enabled? [00:29] Punza81: try looking for it [00:29] zeleftikam, I don't really feel safe telling you to go ahead and do it, You should ask on the forums. [00:29] <|Night_Elf|> zeleftikam: I have tried pulling out one disk out of two in a DL380 with raid1 mirroring. All went fine. Haven't tried in raid5 [00:29] i think i'm going to try it [00:29] i have backups [00:29] zeleftikam: I use it for testing/wiping drives only. [00:30] <|Night_Elf|> onetinsoldier: the effects work all right, as far as i can see. But the mouse pointer just doesn't [00:30] Dizkonnekted it's only after the menu has appeared and after i have selected "try ubuntu without any changes to your computer" .. after i choose this option i gett he ubuntu loading screen for a minute or so, then a black screen with a load of DRDY ERR errors [00:30] here it goes! [00:30] There is, I just don't have confidence to install it. [00:30] using the console [00:30] Punza81: do you know how to navigate the filesystem using the console? [00:30] <|Night_Elf|> i hope we don't see now zeleftikam: connection timed out [00:31] yes I do [00:31] Punza81: moreover, what file extension does the file have on the CD? [00:31] |Night_Elf|: perhaps you need to enable Software mouse cursor for Xorg (x-windows). it's some kind of option you have to put to xorg.conf file i think [00:31] Punza81: if it's a .run file, then you probably just have to 'cd' to wherever the cd is and type './driver.run' or w/e it's called [00:31] <|Night_Elf|> onetinsoldier: does ubuntu have an xorg.conf ? To what i know, it doesn't [00:32] on the cd it's a tgz file [00:32] |Night_Elf|: it will if you've installed and enabled the proprietary nvidia driver [00:32] Punza81: for that, you'll have to copy it to your harddrive and extract it [00:32] Punza81: you can just do that in the file browser [00:33] done, extracted on desktop [00:33] Punza81: what was in it? [00:33] i pulled out one of three disks in a RAID 5 array on my server, it did not crash and everything appeared to go on working as if nothing happened. the RAID card sounded a loud-ass alarm though, haha. NOW YOU KNOW!! [00:33] |Night_Elf|: see if you have the file --> ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:33] <|Night_Elf|> onetinsoldier: i see it. An extremely small and basic one. Ok i'll do some searching now. thanks for this [00:33] azolap, can i assume that your HDD is not bootable at all, or it boots just fine [00:33] |Night_Elf|: sure. good luck [00:33] Ubuntu 9.10 usb question: how can the automounter be configured to mount USB flash drives read-write? All USB flash drives appear to be mounted as read-only filesystems. I've tried the same flash drive on a Mac and PC and it is read-write. [00:34] I have changed directory into the folder [00:34] Punza81: yes, but what's in it? type 'ls' (without the quotes) [00:34] there are the files.. eg makefile [00:34] Punza81: oh, well then you'll have to compile it [00:34] Dizkonnekted no you see i dropped the laptop a couple of days ago. after i dropped it it worked fine for a few hours (i was on windows at the time) and so i assumed it was OK. then the next day i tried to start up the laptop and couldn't boot either windows or ubuntu [00:34] Punza81: there should be a file that says like "INSTALL" or something; you can read that for specific instructions [00:35] I've never successfully compiled anything in my life [00:35] Punza81: well I'll help you out [00:35] will running "check disc for defects" help ? [00:35] please! :) [00:35] Punza81: start by reading the INSTALL file (if there is one) [00:35] Punza81: it should be just as easy as typing './configure' then 'make' then 'sudo make install', but it might not be [00:35] there is a file amed Readme_STA [00:35] read that [00:35] it's pretty easy Punza81 [00:36] has anyone every installed Lotus Notes on Ubuntu? [00:36] for me it's rocket science :) [00:36] Punza81: you'll probably have to install some development headers from the package manager [00:36] hello [00:37] hey all, I have a rather interesting question... I set up a usb key to install desktop-amd64. I can start the installer just fine but when it gets to "scan hard drives for an installer ISO image" it fails saying it can't read from my cdrom [00:37] Does anyone know how to change the login screen for ubuntu lucid [00:37] i can open the shell... and the iso I want is in /hd-media [00:37] why can't i hide partitions with a udev rule anymore in lucid? [00:37] but I can't convince the installer to look there.. any ideas? [00:37] ok which ones [00:37] rovar, try mounting the iso image [00:37] how do i find this out? [00:37] VanCiper: if it uses the new version of gdm, you probably can't [00:37] azolap, unfortunately i think your HDD is damaged, can you tell during the boot process if the HDD even spins up? [00:38] Punza81: does it tell you to run configure? === leet is now known as Guest8827 [00:38] daemonTW, ah.. i'll give that a try, thanks. [00:38] Punza81: because if it does, run that, then it'll tell you what you need to install [00:38] tell me if it works.. someone in here had this problem earlier but i did not hear if it worked for him [00:39] no [00:39] oh wait a it. [00:39] there is only a makefile [00:39] no configuration file? [00:39] hrm [00:39] Okay [00:39] just try running make then [00:39] see what it says [00:39] /dev/loop0 is already mounted as /cdrom and it appears to be the iso image [00:39] I right clicked on the wireless icon in the top menubar and checked Enable Networking, but Wireless is disable and I can't enable it. what's going on? [00:39] sudo make? [00:39] no.. just make [00:39] Punza81: no, just make [00:39] is there a way to tell what image the installer is looking for? [00:40] I made sure to use amd64 images.. [00:40] Punza81: you only need 'sudo' for when you're trying to install, typically [00:40] ping [00:40] for the img and the iso [00:40] Punza81: sudo just elevates your privileges so you can perform administrative functions [00:40] the make has finished with an error [00:40] Dizkonnekted i'm not sure.. how can i tell that? hmm i just selected the "check disc for defects" option on the ubuntu cd menu. it got some errors at first saying "I/O error on device sda6 logical block __" then it ran some checks and said "Check finished: no errors found" [00:40] ... [00:40] Punza81: copy the error to a pastebin so I can see it [00:40] Would that be why it's not working? I'm using amd64 10.04 from Wubi [00:41] umm it's not on this computer [00:41] this is a laptop [00:41] maybe it's not the iso [00:41] Punza81: go to http://pastebin.com/ and copy and paste the error [00:41] I don't have internet acess [00:41] and it said things like "Checking ./wubi.exe...OK" so i guess the hard drive is working ? [00:41] Punza81: oh [00:41] Punza81: any line that say 'no such file or directory'? [00:41] test [00:42] Hi all I just installed 10.4 can somebody tell me how to get the compiz manager installed [00:42] I want to get the cubes working [00:42] i'll try and type it. give me 1 second [00:42] why does firefox open up firefox and firefox-bin? [00:43] The wobbly windows are working already so my drivers are all good just whatever I install the cube isn't installed [00:43] repsol you still need to know? [00:43] arg.. yes.. so the iso I need is mounted at /cdrom, it seems to be intact.. I will try installing from the command line to see what the installer is really after. [00:43] ya [00:43] CaptainTrek: firefox is probably just a starter script and firefox-bin is the actual binary [00:43] rovar, yes please === partyopia is now known as danopia [00:43] ~wireless [00:43] hi [00:43] azolap, during the boot process when you 1st power the laptop is when the drive spins up and the bios checks the boot order etc, are you comfortable with removing parts from your laptop,? [00:44] repsol udo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:44] guess ubottu doesn't have one [00:44] christos, thanks [00:44] pietro10: its triggers are ! not ~ [00:44] doesn't the installer keep debug logs? wouldn't it say there? [00:44] repsol sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:44] !wireless > pietro10 [00:44] pietro10, please see my private message [00:44] sorry i did an typo lol [00:44] thanks [00:44] =P [00:47] okay networking is not my forte and I don't get what ubotu is linking me to [00:47] All I know is that when I right click the networking icon I can't Enable Wireless [00:47] http://pastebin.com/tJQWbmbY [00:47] hello room, im using 9.10, ive had a look through the forums and tried some suggestions there and found that enabling KMS solved my ATI RADEON 9200 (pci) problem i was having, but then it stopped working for no apparent reason, anyone able to help? [00:47] that link is around about the error message [00:47] there was a permission denied as well earlier [00:48] Dizkonnekted well i can remove the casing of the laptop so i can see the harddrive and everything.. what is it you think i should do? by the way if i don't have a cd in the cd drive it will go to the grub bootloader and give me the option for windows or linux.. so doesn't that mean the hard disk is working? [00:48] Punza81: it looks like they've rolled the installation part into the makefile [00:48] Punza81: then you should try running it with sudo [00:48] Punza81: so do sudo make [00:48] i have like 80-90 cpu ussage why is that? [00:49] pietro10, do you have a wireless card, that's supported. [00:49] christos: what kind of hardware do you have? cpu wise, that is [00:49] repsol, do you know where to look for the installer debug logs? [00:49] amd 64 bit 3200+ 2.0GHZ [00:49] i summed the iso on the key with the original, they're the same [00:49] 1 gig of ram [00:49] Moral_: hold on [00:49] Hi [00:49] azolap, yes it does if you are dual booting, will it allow you to boot fully into ubuntu or windows? [00:49] rovar I can find out [00:50] christos: oooh, you shouldn't be getting that much usage with that hardware -- open up the system monitor, go to processes, and arrange the processes by CPU usage [00:50] and see which one is eating it up [00:50] one moment I'll get an exact copy and paste [00:50] oh compiz [00:50] is running [00:50] 31% [00:50] 78% [00:50] thats the only one running high [00:51] rovar, try /var/log/debug [00:51] christos, you using an Ati Radeon card? [00:51] yeah [00:51] repsol, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a debug in /var/log when I checked, but I'll look again [00:51] christos, what model? [00:51] ati x800gto [00:51] I just checked and I have one [00:51] hi [00:51] http://pastebin.com/GnwQvKhU [00:52] that's the exact print out. [00:52] whats up? [00:52] Why when I install Ubuntu, using wubi, it installed on the location /dev/loop0 [00:52] I was able to put it on the portable hard drive and [00:52] transfer it [00:52] Its not actually installed in the hard drive. [00:52] Dizkonnekted x800gto [00:52] hey all. [00:52] the text file that is [00:53] Dizkonnekted no, windows just stalls on the windows 7 loading screen indefinitely... and ubuntu gives me the DRDY ERR if i try to boot it. [00:53] rovar, debug is a file in /var/log "cd /var/log" [00:53] repsol, sure [00:53] Punza81: oh wow they appear to have given you a broken driver [00:53] pointless [00:53] rovar, ls -la debug [00:53] christos, im not sure about the protocol in channel about posting forum or wiki links, so send me a PM and ill pass you 2 links i think might help you [00:53] Punza81: there's actually errors in the code [00:53] im just saying that when I ls'd /var/log all i saw was syslog [00:53] but I'm restarting the install.. so I'll see. [00:53] Dizkonnekted i just managed to boot the ubuntu livecd for the first time.. i don't know why but it worked this time (maybe to do with running the defect check?) [00:54] hm. How do I set a "RealTime" priority on a process? [00:54] It is amazing how fast this channel is [00:54] so i am logged in as user ubuntu. but is there a way i can access my files on the hd? [00:54] I'd like ideally for it to listen to me no matter what else is going on in the machine. [00:54] Punza81: if you can find out what the chipset is, you might be able to, say, go to the manufacturer's website and get newer source; otherwise, there might actually be support for it already on your system, and you just have to start it manually [00:54] azolap, yes there is, try checking the disk for errors [00:54] azolap: try to mount the partitions :), using the file manager [00:54] Moral_: I don't see my card in the list [00:54] I'm ssh'd into a machine, and I'm running screen, with top running inside a screen-spawned shell. [00:54] Dell Wireless 1397 [00:54] how would I do that? [00:55] Punza81: know what, you might be able to find that by running lspci -k and seeing the output; although I don't know if it would show PCI-E devices, too [00:55] start it manually in case [00:55] though if it's the same as [00:55] DW1390 - Wireless 1390 - WLAN (802.11g) ExpressCard [00:55] then it isn't supported :| [00:55] guess I have to plug in the ethernet cable to do this [00:55] azolap: btw, DRDY ERR type errors are usually spit out by libata module meaning, the HD is going south or has a few bad sectors already, you can always run a live-cd with utils to do a S.M.A.R.T check on it if you wish :) [00:55] "start it manually"? [00:55] Dizkonnekted i sent you a pkm [00:55] pm [00:56] a pkm? hhee [00:56] but if there's SMART errors already, then you're better off replacing the drive after you back up the data. [00:56] a privately koncealed msg? :P [00:56] azolap, try something like: sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda5 or whichever letter your faulty hdd is [00:56] christos, ok thanks ill get you the links now [00:56] lspci -k did not work === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:57] ok thanks [00:57] rovar, did you find it? [00:57] did not find my device I should say' [00:57] Dizkonnekted how can i check the disk for errors? Typos_King i tried to mount the WINDOWS volume (cause i want to get my files from windows) but it said "unable to mount location - did not receive a reply" [00:57] Punza81: hrm... I don't know what else you could do besides googling for linux support for the thing [00:58] azolap: when did you start having issues with your windows hdd? [00:58] repsol, i tried to start "expert install" but it seems to have hung while loading the image [00:58] does the output suggest I'm missing any compilers? [00:58] azolap: after ubuntu install? [00:59] Punza81: no, you have the compilers installed allright, they just throw errors because there's errors in the code [00:59] vitamin-carrot i dropped my laptop a couple of days ago and have been unable to boot into windows or linux since then.. i am running a livecd now [00:59] azolap: for the *nix partition, you can do a 'disk check' as Dizkonnekted already suggested, -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/YOURINSTALLHERE; as far as doing it on win7, I'd suggest you get something like Hiren's boot cd, [ http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ ] which has a bunch of disk checkers youu can run from a live-cd session [00:59] Where can I find the command that a ubuntu package was compiled into a binary with? [01:00] !make | KevinM [01:00] KevinM: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:00] that's ... check out debmake [01:00] azolap: did you check to make sure the hdd in the laptop is connected corrctly? [01:00] Can someone point me in the direction of how to fix file shares after upgrading to 10.04? It was working perfectly before upgrade. [01:00] ok [01:00] oh ok thanks Typos_King, i'll try that on the linux partition. will this e2fschk command not touch my windows partition at all then? [01:00] well Thanks for your help anyway [01:01] I'll keep trying [01:01] Punza81: you might be in luck -- I downloaded the driver from Asus's website [01:01] azolap: it won't touch your windows drive [01:01] vitamin-carrot yes i took the casing off the laptop and checked the hard drive connections.. it was fully plugged in [01:01] it is only connected at once place right? because i couldn't take the hard drive out completely [01:01] Punza81: and I read the readme and it has the manufacturer of the chipset and the chipset name: rt2860sta.o/rt2860sta.ko and Ralink [01:01] Typos_King, LOL thanks, azolap if you can check your ubuntu partition 1st youll be able to see if theres a bunch of errors on it [01:01] Anyone know how to open to separate windows, not tabs, in gedit? [01:02] azolap: it would be connected at the motherboard and the drive [01:02] Punza81: try going to Ralink's website and looking for rt2860sta [01:02] wildbat, That tells me how to compile something, but I need to know what options a package was compiled with [01:02] ok [01:02] sometimes when i start up ubuntu 10.04 it looks like the GUI is from an older version...then if I restart a number of times, the normal GUI comes back [01:03] anyone having this issue? [01:03] Punza81: I'm looking in the readme, and the instructions are actually quite lengthy [01:03] KevinM, oh ~ i don't think you can [01:03] Punza81: it might be possible that you just missed a step and could make it work [01:03] azolap: no, both checks are OS dependent, so each works for each filesystem :) [01:03] Hey everyone! Just checking in to see if there are any updates re: flash problems in firefox. Since updating to Lucid I can't get sound and some flash sites just don't work period. [01:04] wildbat, aw. I was hoping to figure out if pure-ftpd-common/mysql was built with quota [01:04] mophead: reinstall flash [01:04] looks like I'll just purge/remove and compile [01:04] so just sudo apt-get remove flash ? [01:05] then sudo apt-get install flash? [01:05] repsol, there is only syslog in /var/log [01:05] ok Typos_King, in file manager i can view my ubuntu filesystem.. when doing the e2fschk i'm not sure what the /dev/YOURINSTALLHERE should be. i can view the /dev/ folder in file manager but not sure what you mean for YOURINSTALLHERE [01:05] mophead: I don't think the package is called flash; the best way is to go to Applications->Ubuntu Software center and searching for "Adobe Flash Player" [01:05] Hey, I am trying to set up two graphics cards (three monitors) with ubuntu. Do I have to take all the normal steps I did with other (not so friendly) distributions and download the nvidia drivers manually + edit xorg.conf? [01:05] I'm able to connect to the internet via wireless in gnome desktop, but I'm not able to do it in LXDE. What can I do to fix that? [01:06] I'm using 10.04 [01:06] I noticed it downloads the actual nvidia drivers by itself... Does this mean there is an easier way? [01:06] I think I found it actually: is it flashplugin-installer ? [01:06] julian_: run the program that you're using in gnome, in lxde? [01:06] functor: as far as drivers go, you could just go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [01:06] which readme file are you reaading, the asus read me or the ralink one [01:06] Yes, I launch firefox and it can't connect. [01:06] Punza81: the one from Asus's site [01:06] azolap: firstly, if your file manager can 'view' it, chances are is mounted, you don't use e2fsck on a mounted system, so, unmount it before using it, you want to know where YOURINSTALL is, just issue -> fdisk -l; that'll tell you, it'll be /dev/sda1 or so [01:06] velociostrich, yeah, I got the nvidia ones - but it only shows the one GPU in nvidia-settings [01:07] I also have debian on this computer, and nvidia-settings shows both on it [01:07] functor: all I know is that you used to have to use Xinerama, but (if I recall correctly) that's no longer how you do it, so I don't know [01:07] hrrm.. anyone know where i can find debug logs for the command line installer? I'm trying to see specifically what file it was looking for from the .iso [01:07] because it can't find it (usb key) [01:08] i haven't kept up with all the backup programs around, essentially i've got a router with a usb 2.0 disk drive support using dd-wrt, and i'd like to backup files to it by user/password access. i'll be sharing the drive with my father [01:08] i use ubuntu and would like a gui. he uses windows and would need to backup too [01:08] velociostrich, do you know how to get the "extended desktop" effect on a single GPU (two screens)? With twin-view, one monitor has a "hidden spot" [01:08] functor: no idea man :) [01:08] :< [01:09] functor: lol perhaps that shouldn't have been a smiley from me [01:09] rovar: apt-get you mean? [01:09] it claims to be removing adobe-flashplugin and installing flashplugin-installer. [01:09] ok sure [01:09] Typos_King, no, the actuall ubuntu installer [01:09] I made a usb key out of the latest lucid iso and the amd64 img [01:10] Typos_King i'm a bit confused as to which is my ubuntu partition on the hard disk.. in file manager i have "88.2GB Media" and "Filesystem" .. both look like ubuntu installs :s [01:10] velociostrich, apparently Xinerama is superceded to RandR [01:10] sorry again linux crashed or something but everything froze i need help i have high cpu usage compiz is the problem i have an ati graphics card [01:10] azolap: what did 'fdisk -l' say? can you paste it to paste2.org? [01:11] fdisk -l said nothing [01:11] would I have to do anything in the config.mk I wouldn't think so [01:11] Yay! Okay, so what worked is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9357196 Thanks everyone! Those of you who hang out here, try pointing anyone with firefox flash problem to this page. [01:11] I am going to try the iso from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ instead of the one from the main page [01:11] i ran the command in terminal.. under ubuntu@ubuntu , was that correct? [01:12] azolap: try 'df -h' [01:12] functor: like I said, I don't know anything about running multiple monitors [01:12] functor: but now I might look into them [01:12] rovar: try at /var/log/installer [01:13] azolap, type sudo fdisk -l that will get you what you need [01:13] azolap: 'df -h' will show you something similar to this.. /dev/sdb1 4.4G 340M 3.8G 9% / [01:13] Typos_King, that doesn't exist either.. just /var/log/syslog [01:13] that's from / [01:13] in the shell that it gives me [01:13] rovar: /var/log/installer is a folder with several logs, not a file [01:13] Anyone in here familiar with Nvidia X Server? [01:14] Typos_King, when my install fails and I use the shell, there is no such directory under / [01:14] anyone familiar with globus.toolkit [01:14] anyone got word when the getdeb repos will be back up [01:14] okay so [01:14] when I plug in my ethernet cable into the laptop [01:14] it still won't connect [01:15] the connection menu says Disconnected [01:15] can anyone help me with high cpu usage im running an ati graphics card [01:15] ok Typos_King here it is: http://pastebin.com/gNJSepWN [01:15] rovar: I'd expect that, I think those are done in the end of the whole process, so... sounds to me you got a funky .iso image or something is up with it, what would you need to fix? for all we know it may be corrupted [01:15] what is a good dock program [01:15] velociostrich: any clues of what I need to add from the readme? [01:15] docky [01:15] however [01:16] in the Network Connections [01:16] I see auto eth0 [01:16] what's going on now [01:16] pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:16] it's not a flood >_> [01:16] Typos_King, I summed it and it's correct, but I suspect there is a mismatch between my img and the iso.. i'm trying a different iso now [01:16] MOON c'est quoi cela ??? [01:16] summed it on the key itself, to make sure it copied correctly [01:16] azolap: .... df -h isn't saying much on that, I thought you were going to paste 'fdisk -l' :| [01:17] Punza81: well, I looked at the instructions and some of them have already been performed on the code; it looks like the code is just broken, but there's newer versions of the drivers on Ralink's site [01:17] pietro10, is your network cable plugged into something at the other end, like a router [01:17] rovar: how did you know is correct? [01:17] Dizkonnekted: connected into the modem [01:17] it's cable [01:17] !fr | nettoyeur25 [01:17] nettoyeur25: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [01:17] ok I'll try and get the ralink one on my system [01:17] Punza81: fourth one from the top from here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 [01:17] serai je abusé ? personne parlant Français ici ? [01:17] dizkonnekted sorry it froze and i had to hard reboot [01:18] oh oops.. here is fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/waadnFEX [01:18] hiexpo: whats it like [01:18] i didnt get the last link but compiz is the problem thats 100% cpu ussage [01:18] Punza81: the one that says rt2860 [01:18] christos, no problem [01:18] hopeless8009, ? huh [01:18] Typos_King, checksum [01:18] ah OK, merci [01:18] nettoyeur25: anglais uniquement :|, je ne pas parle francais :| [01:18] hiexpo: docky [01:19] désolé pour le dérangement [01:19] christos: The likeliest cause that there would be 100% cpu with compiz is a graphics driver or X bug [01:19] 9 times out of 10, it's the graphics driver [01:19] pietro10, is your router set up to hand out IP addys automatically? [01:19] hopeless8009, one sec [01:19] it usually does, since I can just plug in and go on Mac and Windows [01:19] the mac is a separate machine [01:19] rovar: I see [01:19] hm [01:20] let me see if I can pull up the device name [01:20] azolap: that'll be /dev/sda5 then [01:21] pietro10, by default ubuntu is set to get an IP automatically, if you type ifconfig in a termianl can you see your ip addy? [01:21] one sec (I need to disconnect >_>) [01:22] Typos_King oh ok.. what is sda6 then? because i remember seeing sda6 a lot when i was trying to boot ubuntu before. and also in my filesystem, is the "88.2GB Media" or "Filesystem" device my ubuntu install on the hdd? [01:22] anyone know if there's a way to fix windows bootloader from ubuntu? my CD drive isn't working, nor is my vista install [01:22] christos, did you get the 2nd link this time? [01:22] hopeless8009, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/12/20/how-to-install-docky-in-ubuntu-9-10/ [01:22] it gives me the option to unmount the Media device but not the Filesystem one [01:23] hopeless8009, it will show you what it'slike there [01:23] azolap: sda5 is '/' or root, 'sda6' is the 'swap partition' or the virtual memory one, from the paste, is a 3.5gbs one [01:23] I have run the make [01:24] of the downloaded file [01:24] from ralink [01:24] that seems to have run [01:24] without errors [01:24] Punza81: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:24] oh i see [01:24] Dizkonnekted: no, just localhost [01:24] tehbaut: what's wrong with it? are we talking NTLDR? [01:24] Punza81: ok, I think the only thing you have to do now is "sudo make install" [01:24] Can anyone help me with a fdisk problem? [01:25] Punza81: then after that, run "sudo depmod -ae" then "sudo modprobe rt2860" [01:25] What are good proxy servers? [01:25] now the next instruction is to copy a particular file to the etc/Wireless/RT2860STA directory [01:25] Typos_King: possibly, it's unable to load winloader.exe or something [01:25] pietro10, right click the icon in the notification area and select edit connections [01:25] though this does not exist and I am unable to creat this [01:25] oh [01:26] Punza81: I found a guide online that looks helpful [01:26] tehbaut: there's no winloader.exe that I've heard of, win32 boot loaders still uses ntldrd [01:26] Punza81: have a look at this: http://www.ab9il.net/linuxwireless/rt2860.html [01:26] ntldr rather [01:26] pietro10, highlight Auto eth0 and click edit [01:26] Dizkonnekted: k [01:26] Punza81: according to that, you have to change directories to something and _then_ run make install, I'm not sure, let me look at the readme again [01:26] Typos_King ok so i've just tried 'sudo e2fschk -c /dev/sda5' but i got e2fschk: command not found [01:27] heheh [01:27] azolap: e2fsck :) [01:27] Punza81: I looked at it; just run the command right there [01:27] no e2fschk hehe [01:27] pietro10, make sure "connect automatically" box is checked, then click the IPv4 tab [01:27] anyone want to look at a partition table and tell me if its going to work? [01:27] sudo cp RT2860STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat === nastas_AFK is now known as nastas [01:27] oh oops ok it worked now.. [01:27] Dizkonnekted: it's automatic DHCP [01:27] (same as with my mac) [01:27] but gave me a warning about running it on a mounted filesystem [01:27] I'll try that [01:27] heyas, a sound question. I am using 10.04 and having a dogged problem with audio. I use a USB Logitech headset and my audio will at times die. Video files will no longer play, I get stuff like pulseaudio ratelimit.c events suppressed and...an odd thin I have noticed, at the top right where you normally have the account name and availability option then the menu for restart/etc, there are 2 copies of the account name. Anyo [01:27] ne seen this before? [01:28] azolap: which we warned you about several minutes ago [01:28] Punza81: then from there run /sbin/insmod rt2860 and /sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up where you would place your desired IP for YOUR_I [01:28] azolap: unmount it first, then retry it [01:28] pietro10, do you have another ethernet cable you can try in that computer? [01:29] Punza81: as for that last step, you might just be able to use the network manager applet on your top panel [01:29] it says no such file or directory [01:29] Dizkonnekted: yes, hold on [01:29] when I try the cp command [01:29] oh ok so the 88.2GB Media one needs to be unmounted? i'll try that [01:29] Punza81: /Wireless/RT2860STA/ do not exist, you have to make both :) [01:29] fyi [01:30] I've tried to make it too [01:30] then it should work :P [01:30] Punza81: it looks like you just have to make the directory /etc/Wireless then in that make RT2860STA [01:30] oo ok i think it's working now i unmounted the Media drive :-) does e2fsck take a long time to run? [01:30] Punza81: so first you would run "sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless" then after that run "sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA" [01:30] hang it's worked [01:30] that mkdir step [01:30] Punza81: then run the copy command [01:31] azolap: depends on cpu speed and memory, and partition size, yes, it can take 1hr or more [01:31] oh ok [01:31] it is asking me a questiojn [01:31] Superblock has an invalid journal [01:31] Clear? [01:31] Is there any way to either 1: restrict the size of the panel even when an applet that expands it is using it, or 2: have a panel on the top make room for a panel on the side (instead of the other way around) [01:31] I have copied the file rt286osta to the /etc/wireless/rt2860sta directory === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [01:31] azolap: usually you want to hehe, yes [01:32] Dizkonnekted: actually no, I don't know where I put it, sorry [01:32] Punza81: ok, now do that step to load the module [01:32] ok from the readme [01:32] 05xtryefwyt ytkvg cvgwuthggfehrgywtergrir r rqy71et 7qrr tef6 6er6o38,32REFRERF TWE7ED 1 [01:32] Punza81: sudo /sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko [01:32] Typos_King: it says file \Windows\system32\winload.exe is missing or corrupt [01:32] what the? [01:32] pietro10, its ok, do you know that cable works ok on another computer though? [01:32] yes [01:32] right now, on my mac [01:32] hello we are some blender artists and building our website , please tell us are there any problem with the installed forum www.qemum.org/montada , i'm not a bot !! [01:32] tehbaut: who, when? [01:32] when I try to load vista partition [01:33] ok it said ext3 journal has been deleted.. filesystem is now ext2 only - what does that mean?! [01:33] I moved this partition over from another disk [01:34] the message tells me to load the vista disk for repairing the issue, but my CD drive isnt working [01:34] allguru: i loaded up your link in firefox. worked ok here, but i can't read arabic :-) [01:34] where is the "os/linux/" directory [01:34] which is why I asked if there was a way to do it from ubuntu [01:34] not understanding this step [01:34] onetinsoldier: thanks dude , do the ads appear ? [01:34] pietro10, aha ok, then in a terminal window type sudo ifconfig eth0 down, wait 20 seconds and type sudo ifconfig eth0 up (with the cable connected) [01:34] allguru: yes [01:35] okay [01:35] onetinsoldier: thanks [01:35] allguru: you're welcome [01:35] onetinsoldier: what do you think of the water drop ? [01:35] tehbaut, there is a way to boot from a Windows Vista disk on USB# [01:35] pietro10, that *should* get you an ip addy [01:35] actually disregard what I previously said [01:35] Punza81: I think you can ignore that [01:35] Punza81: yeah [01:35] onetinsoldier: we created it with uncle blender [ open source ] [01:35] tehbaut, google it, because im not quite sure how to do it, i just know theres a way [01:35] allguru: cool. looks great :) [01:35] Punza81: just do what I told you --> sudo /sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko [01:36] Monotoko: nope, cant do that either (usb cd drive) :\ [01:36] Typos_King it found another problem.. Error reading block 8355841 while reading inode and block bitmaps. Ignore error? [01:36] .. [01:36] am i supposed to say yes to everything? [01:37] all right, still don't see it connected [01:37] pietro10, if it does notthen your router might be configured in a secure manner or its not handing out IP's automatically [01:37] azolap: yes, you can ignore them for now, at the end, it will do an auto fix [01:37] usually, most files a user needs from an old install are in /home, right? [01:37] ok I've managed to type sudo /sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko [01:37] oh right i see [01:37] and that has not had an error message [01:37] it's not a router; it's a modem that is connected to a coax [01:37] pietro10, whats your IP addy on the mac? [01:37] am i going to have to press Y every time it finds things or can i make it ignore automatically? === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [01:37] 74.89.18.196 [01:38] onetinsoldier: ok , before going have a look at the game guys , it's very nice , the earth has no water , a boy of a rich family spoils water , the water get's angry then decides to go to the moon , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfom7GWdDOQ&feature=player_embedded , feedback is welcome , thanks and bye :) . [01:38] i have another question its actually for a friend on facebook he cant upload a video for some reason anyone know a solution? [01:38] wait a sec it also asks me Force rewrite? on the same block. is that a yes too? [01:38] pietro10, send me a PM [01:38] Punza81: it should work now; try using the network manager [01:38] Punza81: I hope you know how to do that at least... ;) [01:39] ummm [01:39] not really I have configured the not really [01:40] tehbaut: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/WINLOAD-EXE-Problem-t161700.html might be relevant, I think they're referring to editing the '\boot.ini' hidden file [01:40] I have configured my billion wireless router through windows that's how I'm using this computer [01:41] having wireless internet, though I have no idea in setting up my internet on the ubuntu system [01:41] Punza81: well you should see a little networking icon on your top panel if you're using Ubuntu and not Kubuntu or some other variant that you'll click [01:41] question: most things that the normal user would need to preserve when moving files from old installs to new installs would be in their /home/ folder, right? [01:41] CaptainTrek: right [01:41] Punza81: and if it's working, you'll see a list of available networks to connect to [01:42] Typos_King: so if I nuke my older 9.04 install, i'd just need to preserve my /home/ folder... right? [01:42] I'm able to connect to the internet with gnome on ubuntu 10.04 but can't using LXDE. I'm able to ping in LXDE though. It seems stuck on "loopback" [01:42] How do I fix this? [01:42] ok Typos_King well thanks for the help.. i will just let e2fsck run and say yes to everything. what will this tell me when it has finished? is there a chance it will fix problems and i will be able to boot into ubuntu normally without the livecd? [01:42] CaptainTrek: configuration stuff, yes [01:43] I have yet to complete that step /sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up [01:43] Punza81: as far as setting up your wireless goes (if the thing works now) you should just google for that [01:43] also, what network managers exist for Lucid? [01:43] should I just create a random IP address? [01:43] Punza81: you shouldn't have to do that step; that's what the Network Manager is for [01:43] oh ok [01:43] Punza81: if your router has DHCP, it'll give you an IP address that's not being used [01:43] CaptainTrek: by default there's NetworkManager [01:44] CaptainTrek: that you would configure with nm-applet (which should already be running) === tomz is now known as Guest30740 [01:44] azolap: chances are, it will, yes, it will try to fix and then say that you need to reboot, however, based on the DRDY ERR message, I'd think the errors will keep coming back, and you will reneed to run e2fsck again to be able to log back in, whenever not being able to, reason being, I'd think is your HD has bad sectors/clusters [01:44] velociostrich: out of curiosity though, do other ones exist? [01:44] probably, I don't know though === Meatuxer is now known as linguist [01:44] everyone: they got rid of wicd, did they? [01:44] CaptainTrek: KDE has its own thing, I think, that would be in the Ubuntu software repository [01:44] which network manager do I use.. I have tried to double click the manager in the tray [01:45] velociostrich: i meant for gnome, i dislike KDE xD [01:45] heh [01:45] CaptainTrek: that would be nm-applet [01:45] with no success [01:45] Punza81: just right-click it [01:45] I feel like I'm so close [01:45] * CaptainTrek is getting nowhere, so he goes to get ice cream instead === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:45] Punza81: first thing though, try running ifconfig [01:45] kde has IMO more useful apps :P, and yes knetworkmanager is not its greatest, I don't use it :), I use gnome's, I do use kde :P~ [01:45] Punza81: see if your device shows up; also try running lspci -k [01:45] Typos_King oh right i see.. so i will really need a new hard drive? but this should enable me to log back into ubuntu for a short time and take a backup of my files? [01:46] azolap: right === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:46] ifconfig shows 2 ethernet adaptors [01:46] thouand lo local loopback [01:46] ok well that's good.. well i'll let you know if it works or doesn't work if you are still here :) thanks again [01:46] and lo local loopback [01:47] Punza81: does it show like ra0 or something? actuall now I think you might have had to run that last step; try runing lspci -k first [01:47] Punza81: I really don't know too much about drivers [01:47] Punza81: you could try also running like "dmesg | tail" to see if the hardware is working [01:48] brb [01:48] ah finally got IRC to work [01:49] what does everyone else use for IRC? cus im ising empathy and it dosnt work most of the time [01:49] just flashes and wont let me connect to a room [01:49] back === uuu is now known as Guest33079 [01:49] I'm looking for a guide to installing the Lucid on my MacBook Pro without burning a CD or using a USB drive [01:49] Punza81: you should ask someone else about this part of setting it up; I really don't know much [01:49] and my google skills are weak [01:50] lucid... [01:50] lspci does not display my device. [01:50] iceslice22: sure you're not lazy? [01:50] my device is pci express [01:50] iceslice22: you just eliminated the two best ways to do it! [01:50] Brubuntu: popular choices include xchat (GUI), and irssi (terminal) [01:51] all of the sudden the faces of people have turned blue!!! i have absolutely no idea how all of this happened. what should i do? people in videos are blue, and on skype people appear blue... is there something wrong with my video card driver? [01:51] dmesg | tail command does not show anything that says asus [01:51] greezmunkey: hello, how are you doing? you get your servers and raid setup going ok? [01:51] Punza81: I wouldn't expect it to say ASUS, if anything it would say like RT2860 [01:51] The alternative is to turn my old Nano into a mountable usb drive and use that [01:52] iceslice22: short of a pxe boot, I think you need to sharpen your googlin skills :) [01:52] orangeglo: if you have an nvidia gpu, there might be a color balance setting in nvidia-settings [01:52] onetinsoldier: not bad, watchin't the cup finals game 1 [01:52] crdlb: how can i access these settings? [01:52] greezmunkey: cool :) [01:53] orangeglo: you do have an nvidia video card, right? [01:53] iceslice22: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9212586 [01:53] crdlb: yeah [01:53] iceslice22: 3rd from top on google, ubuntu help forumns [01:53] Ubuntu is linux about as much as mac is unix.. [01:54] ?? [01:54] orangeglo: just run the nvidia-settings command and have a look around (this is just a shot in the dark) [01:54] rooob, keep it on topic please [01:54] orly? [01:54] is ikonia around? [01:54] lo [01:54] onetinsoldier: rly :p [01:54] is there a topic in here??? [01:54] if not, i've got a question. [01:54] Brubuntu, try /topic [01:54] !offtopic | Brubuntu [01:54] Brubuntu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [01:54] CaptainTrek, what is it [01:54] crdlb: im just not sure what that command is [01:55] no hardware device listed [01:55] bazhang: says un-supported comand =S [01:55] but ok, fair enough [01:55] Brubuntu, this is Ubuntu support; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [01:55] bazhang: if I'm copying one partition to a new partition on a different drive, Ikonia gave me these commands: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/35Fctvnx [01:55] um... bye? [01:55] bazhang: do the partitions need the same filesystem? [01:56] orangeglo: just type it in a terminal or in the Run dialog (alt-f2) [01:56] CaptainTrek, you would need to follow up with him [01:56] bazhang: on both sides of the operation, from starting one to the new one [01:56] bazhang: hence why i'm lookin for him [01:56] Brubuntu: That thread addresses issues with installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro, but doesn't address doing it without a CD/USB drive === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [01:56] which file stores the finger print of the SSH server? [01:57] i'm unsure what to do now [01:57] Unless I'm missing something really obvious [01:57] Punza81: I don't know what else to say [01:57] Punza81: try asking someone else, sorry [01:57] Punza81: I've exhausted everything I know [01:57] Why would I be able to use firefox in ubuntu 10.04 gnome desktop, but not in LXCE (firefox)? [01:57] manchot: ~/.ssh/known_hosts [01:57] bazhang: do you have any other way of copying partitions around? [01:58] CaptainTrek, home? [01:58] rooob: if you want to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic, i'm in there [01:58] i have another question its actually for a friend on facebook he cant upload a video for some reason anyone know a solution? [01:58] bazhang: no, a complete backup of my 9.04 install on this system [01:58] ok, how do i join an IRC chanel? [01:58] Odd-rationale, I meant not the ssh client, but how does ssd server keeps its fingerprint? [01:58] Punza81_: what type of wifi adapter are you using? [01:58] Brubuntu: /join [01:58] Is there a way I can get the "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver" without using Restricted Packages? [01:59] I'll put it on a flash drive and send it to the other computer [01:59] Brubuntu, /join #channel for some clients [01:59] crdlb: just type in nvidia-settings? [01:59] manchot: i'm not sure I understand the question. [01:59] greezmun1ey: He's using a rt2860-based one; it's an ASUS PCE-N13, I think [01:59] CaptainTrek, a clone then. [01:59] bazhang: yeah [01:59] hi. i'm trying to follow the ubuntu live cd customization guide (the one on ubuntu.com), and want to change the default user login name and password. it says to change the encrypted password to use mkpasswd. unfortunately, there's no documentation for this program. how do i use it? [01:59] velociostrich: ralink then? [01:59] on empathy? anyone? [01:59] Odd-rationale, when I connect to a sshd server, I was prompted the finger print of the server, and choices to say yes or no. [01:59] greezmun1ey: yes, I helped him compile the driver and that seems to have worked [02:00] Brubuntu "/Join #channel name" without "" [02:00] christos, what format is the video? [02:00] greezmun1ey: it's just the installation that he's hung up on [02:00] Odd-rationale, but where does this fingerprint come from? [02:00] i have no clue he just told me [02:00] that he cant upload it [02:00] aparently [02:00] how can I know it is the fingerprint of the sshd server I set up? [02:00] manchot: oh, that comes from the server's public ssh key [02:00] what format does it need to be? === greezmun1ey is now known as greezmunkey [02:00] orangeglo: yes [02:00] crdlb: says command not found [02:00] Odd-rationale, how can I view it? [02:01] uuuurgh [02:01] velociostrich: ok [02:01] "/join" is an unsupported command [02:01] it wont work [02:01] Skype only shows "Pulseaudio (local)" as option for audio device, this way I can't get mic input. Fix? [02:01] works for me [02:01] christos, you can upload certain formats to facebook, check the facebook help, hes probably using an unsupported format [02:01] ( I'm using official skype.com client ) [02:01] Brubuntu, what about clicking on the channel name #ubuntu-offtopic (or right clicking) [02:01] ok ill tell him [02:01] channel name? wheres the channels listed???? [02:02] look at my message above [02:02] orangeglo: so, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [02:02] on IRC, every channel has a # in front of its name. [02:02] Daekdroom: except for the ones with &, or on some networks + [02:03] [9:02pm] You left the chat by being disconnected [02:03] er [02:03] bazhang: do you have a solution for me to clone a partition? [02:03] manchot: should be like ~/.ssh/id_rsa/dsa.pub [02:03] [8:58pm] pietro10: Is there a way I can get the "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver" without using Restricted Packages? [02:03] [8:59pm] pietro10: I'll put it on a flash drive and send it to the other computer [02:03] hi [02:03] what's start to make matters a little more complicated, are the rooms that start with ## [02:03] 64 bits flash player doesn't work === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [02:03] manchot: rsa or dsa, i mean. depending on how it was set up. [02:03] CaptainTrek, not sure what Ikonia was suggesting, clonezilla seems one option though [02:03] Odd-rationale, just cat it? [02:03] I know I changed something, but I don't remember what I did... [02:03] bazhang: it in the repos on 10.04? [02:04] manchot: yes [02:04] CaptainTrek, nope [02:04] bazhang: where should I look for clonezilla? [02:04] pepee: did you do it in terminal? [02:04] Brubuntu, type /help to get help on your client for joining a room [02:04] greezmunkey, yeah, I edited some file [02:04] CaptainTrek, your personal favorite search engine perhaps? [02:05] Odd-rationale, I just saw pub keys, not the finger print number. [02:05] bazhang: lol [02:05] Brubuntu: what are you typing [02:05] pepee: cat .bash_history [02:05] Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_3.2.0-7ubuntu4_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch... doing update [02:05] greezmunkey, long time ago... [02:05] pietro10, he already got in then left [02:05] oh ok [02:05] greezmunkey, I do nearly all things in the console [02:06] brb [02:06] In the future, Ubuntu will keep on getting faster & faster ? or new features might affect the speed [02:06] manchot: what are you trying to do? [02:06] pepee: haw far back does your bas_history file go? [02:07] greezmunkey, lol it isn't in my bash_history, I know it [02:07] Odd-rationale, verify the finger print of the SSH server is what it really is. [02:07] pepee: yeah, mine goes back only about a week or so :) [02:07] irc.freenode.org [02:07] crunchbang, you are here already === crunchbang is now known as enginerd [02:08] what's the name of the package for the java plugin for firefox? [02:08] !java | merma [02:08] merma: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [02:08] Odd-rationale, the question is simple: where is the fingerprint string stored in SSH's server? [02:08] manchot: so you want to compare what is in the server's id_rsa.pub to what you have in your known_hosts? [02:08] My laptop's battery barely last 10 minutes and it used to last for 4 hours, is it too late to fix it or something ? [02:08] Odd-rationale, right [02:08] merma, !partnet [02:09] merma, sorry, I make a mistake [02:09] Black_Phantom, yes soon youll need to buy a new one [02:09] !partner [02:09] Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

[02:09] [8:59pm] pietro10: I'll put it on a flash drive and send it to the other computer [02:09] how do i register my name on feenode? [02:09] freenod* [02:09] oh good [02:09] Black_Phantom, get a new battery [02:09] Dizkonnekted, any idea of the costs my friend ? [02:09] the problem is i've heard that it is toooo expensive [02:09] christos, /join #freenode for assistance [02:10] like i can get a netbook with that battery's cost [02:10] ok [02:10] manchot: if you want the finger print, you have to generate ot from the pubilc key: ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [02:10] actually still don't ge tit [02:10] Black_Phantom, check with you laptop manufacturers website [02:10] Black_Phantom, no. I got mine for about $40 [02:10] and it should be official right ? the chinese didnt reach there yet ? [02:10] christos: try --> /msg NickServ help register [02:10] manchot, I see [02:10] does anyone here know about e2fsck? i am running it and it got to the point where it says "Checking for bad blocks (read-only test) 0.06% done 1:39 elapsed" then 5 mins later it says 0.06% done 6:12 elapsed... has it got stuck? why would this happen and what should i do? [02:11] i was updating my ubuntu from update manager to the 10.04 lts but in the "getting new packages" section i get this error wile downloading the last file "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_3.2.0-7ubuntu4_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch" can anyone plzz help me??? [02:11] Black_Phantom, you can also buy a generic battery that might suit your laptop, try google [02:11] ok guys, any body can give me handful tips in how to keep the battery alive [02:12] Black_Phantom, sounds like a hardware issue [02:12] leaving the laptop plugged in all the time can harm the battery or its just a myth [02:12] bazhang: would a sudo cp work to copy everything over? [02:12] from one partition to another [02:12] Black_Phantom, only use the battery when your mobile, all other times remove it [02:12] CaptainTrek, for a clone? no [02:12] ok maybe it's not stuck.. 0.07% done 7:49 elapsed [02:12] is it meant to be this slow?!

[02:15] since i'm messign with a 9.04 partition [02:16] if it is not supported by ubuntu, the why does the package flashplugin-installer install 64 bits flash? [02:16] its a no go sudo sudo crashplan & so if anyone has it working under lucid i'd like to hear about it. the idea of unlimited family plans is very appealing [02:17] hm ok Dizkonnekted .. the hdd indicator light is permanently on atm [02:17] Can anyone point me to how to get mouse cursor changes to work with 10.4 in gnome? I had found out how, but can't recall, doesn [02:17] k-rad: use only one sudo [02:17] pepee, a package being avaiable in a ubuntu repo doesn't mean it's supported [02:17] sudo crashplan [02:17] doesn't stick when i do it through appearance settings [02:17] and it's still at 0.07%, at 13 minutes [02:17] pepee, there are betas for 64 bit flash 10.1 that you can easily install by extracting then user cp filename.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins [02:17] sudo poweroff [02:17] hopefully it'll speed up.. === christos` is now known as christ0s [02:18] Hemp is not Pot...

[02:21] pietro10: wired should work I would think [02:21] yeah that's why [02:21] pietro10, you never mentioned what happened when you tried the configuration i suggested, pm me again [02:21] where are the restricted drivers [02:21] Dizkonnekted: nothing happened [02:21] it just stayed disconnected [02:21] pietro10: I think you just need to change some settings [02:21] pietro10, were you able to ping the modem even? [02:22] Dizkonnekted: I wasn't able to access it in firefox, so I think not [02:22] greezmunkey: just the /home/ dir off to another partition but not to mount it [02:23] i have firefox keeps closing for unknown reasons? [02:23] pietro10, try the using the same ip and subnet as before, then in a terminal try pinging the ip of the modem [02:23] pietro10: you could try to move the driver over with a CD or something?

[02:30] cheers [02:31] anybody help for a sec, just upgraded my Mom's computer from Hardy to Lucid, resolution is totally jacked up, hp pavilion vf15 [02:31] I have an issue. In the past, i have been able to take two machines that have a shared monitor, keyboard, mouse, and network connection, and it work all fine and dandy (after about an hours setup). However, the machine with the wifi connection won't hold a connection on both wifi and eth0. Any help? [02:31] what happened to the sun-java6-plugin package??? [02:31] crdlb, what the sudo cmdline to install default python devel headers then [02:32] lost: sudo apt-get install python-dev [02:32] Hey hey, I have 2 network cards, 1 to internal network, 1 to larger network. Every ~30 gigs of data transfered over the NAT'd connection, eth1 will suddenly die. System is somewhat older (9.04) than ideal, but still would like to fix it :) My current (temp) solution is to have a watch'd job to cycle the interface every 300 seconds. [02:33] Stevethepirate: I have the same problem. How do you get it to start up again? [02:33] Stevethepirate: are you running iptables? [02:34] rallias: I have a watch -n300 'sudo ifconfig eth1 down && sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1' [02:34] greezmunkey: Indeed. [02:34] oh [02:34] Although the problem outdates any non-standard iptables configs. [02:34] yeah my issue is that when the eth0 thing connects the wifi disconnects [02:34] Stevethepirate: maybe it's blocking there, like a rate limit issue. I know iptables can do that. [02:35] I'm guessing 'amd64' is synonymous with a 64 bit system, such as Core 2 Duo, or should I use the x86 image? [02:35] runev: you are correct. it's amd64 for historical reasons [02:35] greezmunkey: I somehow don't think its the cause. I am having the same issue, and i don't use iptables [02:35] runev: Right. amd64 is "64bit" i386 is "32bit" (just like you could run AMD with i386, not just intel) [02:35] Roger :-) [02:36] Hi all! I just installed 9.10 and on reboot I get a grub rescue prompt. How do I fix this? [02:36] hi, upgrading to 10.04 apparently broke my hauppage tv card -- there's appears to be a fixed version in "lucid", whatever that is... is there an easy way for me to get the fixed version of that particular package, without living on the bleeding edge or ubuntu development? [02:36] Anyone want to share some thoughts on Linux on Mac? [02:36] hi [02:37] avi_: heres my thoughts: intel or ppc [02:37] I needsomeassitance getting sound to work on my laptop [02:37] greezmunkey: It isn't anything to do with an iptables messup. === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [02:37] I have an toughbook cf-29 [02:37] intel, rallias [02:37] clop2: 10.04 = Lucid lucid is a codename for the 10.04 version of Ubuntu [02:37] avi_: hold the letter c while booting with a bootable cd in the drive to boot to the cd [02:38] onetinsoldier, hrmn... dang, in that case I don't know what I need to do [02:38] rallias: I know, I was looking for thoughts about it, rather than an installation process. [02:38] i think thats how [02:38] After I returned from suspension on my laptop, the screen was black and only displayed a mouse pointer, and the keyboard was not working. I pressed Alt+Scroll Lock, S, U, B sequentially to reboot. After the reboot, there is no network interface. If I type "ifconfig", I only see "lo". What happened? [02:38] clop2: wee, it sounded like all you would need to do is install the lucid(10.04) version [02:38] avi_ my thoughts: overpriced [02:38] rallias: ... [02:39] is thereanyone who could help me with gettingmy sound to work [02:39] hey nobody?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [02:40] clop2: you probably are. you might make sure it's completely upgraded with a coupld of terminal commands tho. anyway.. check out the following command --> lsb_release -a [02:40] couple* [02:40] crdlb, now i need to get openssl to install which cmdline [02:40] I have no sound running ubuntu 9.10 on toughbook cf-29 [02:40] HI all! I get a grub rescue prompt on a fresh install. What went wrong? How do I fix it? [02:40] onetinsoldier, ah yeah, that says 10.04 lts, codename lucid [02:40] dsnyders: is there any precious data? [02:41] rallias, nope. New machine (well, newish). New hard drive. [02:42] dsnyders: if that happens to me i break out my linux bible cd. If you don't want to burn another disk, just reinstall [02:42] doug__: Here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244226 [02:43] clop2: ok, good. then you are running 10.04/Lucid. perhaps what you need has a slightly different package name in Lucid? i don't know. plus, on 'upgrades' as opposed to fresh installs, some things can get broken, such as device drivers. usually due to the configuration files from the older version still being present in the newer upgraded version [02:43] Stevethepirate: what brand ethernet are you running? [02:43] rallias, reinstalled already. Same result. CD worked fine before the new hard drive. [02:43] does anyone have any recommendations of a usb 1.1/2.0 compatible BD-R drive? [02:43] dsnyders: umm... test the disk for defects with the ondisk thing [02:43] onetinsoldier, ah, i will probably try removing everything related to that package and those drivers [02:43] lost: the package is libssl-dev, I guess; what are you installing anyway? [02:43] and i'll see if a reinstall works after that [02:44] dsnyders: can you get into the os? [02:45] rallias, I am at the grub rescue prompt. I can reboot to the CD if needed. [02:45] clop2: sounds good. you might want to use the 'purge' command to make sure they are full uninstalled. you know how to use the package manager on command line ok? [02:45] onetinsoldier, yeah, apt-get such and so, i didn't know about the purge option but i'll try that [02:45] greezmunkey: I am not sure. Let me check. [02:45] dsnyders: try having everything installed on only a swap partition and a main partition. Sometimes grub has "issues" with more than two partitions [02:46] clop2: even after purging them, afterwards, i would do 'sudo updatedb'... then locate 'haup' or some other similar term [02:46] 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02) [02:46] 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

The install process claimed to have installed grub, but it apparantly didn't. I can boot into the system from the cd, but the boot just hangs without it. I plan to check it out on Tuesday, and likely have to reinstall grub2. [02:47] clop2: roger.. it's apt- remove --purge [02:47] clop2: roger.. it's apt-get remove --purge [02:47] greezmunkey: isn't that what 'sudo apt-get install grub2' is for? [02:48] rallias: That's the wierd part, I checked, and the latest grub claims to be there. I just didn't have time to dig into it yesterday. [02:48] greezmunkey: then 'sudo apt-get reinstall grub2 [02:49] clop2: and to see anything that has been removed, but still has config files left, do this command --> dpkg -l | grep ^rc (status 'rc' = removed but config files still remain) [02:49] crdlb, okay it worked but i got pcap.h header missing when i compile what program it belong to [02:49] Neither SSH nor Mercurial are working on my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop and both of them are giving me the same error message: "Invalid argument." even though I'm using them correctly...

I do not want that to be an issue. [02:54] rallias: or... sudo lshw -C CPU [02:54] Heh. [02:54] rallias, click System menu, point to administration and then click system monitor, click on the system tab [02:55] it might be related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/575960 [02:55] are amd 64 x2 processors 64 bit? [02:55] rallias, yes [02:55] I think it could be a driver issue tbh, the fact that it works on windows somewhat elminates the actual hardware. [02:55] rallias, I would imagine that's what the 64 means. [02:55] Stevethepirate: agreed [02:56] dsnyders: not always [02:56] Intel 82915G/GV/910GL in 10.04, am I SOL or something [02:56] I should probably report a potential driver issue in that case. :/ Links anyone? [02:56] its at 640x480 [02:57] is there any way to tell how many cores are in my GPU in Ubuntu? [02:57] rallias, you have a dual core [02:57] onetinsoldier: 9 gls, 2nd per == barnburner [02:57] dizkonnekted: GPU not CPU [02:58] mom: not necessarily. there are some workarounds listed here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes [02:58] rallias, oops sorry my bad, misread lol [02:58] QQ, easiest way to see which physical network card is being used by eth [02:58] no way to install from a livecd via cli? [02:58] does anyone know how to identify how many cores are in my gpu? [02:59] greezmunkey: i have no idea that that means, but barnburner sounds pretty good, lol [02:59] onetinsoldier: may I pm? [02:59] greezmunkey: sure [02:59] What do you mean by "number of cores"? [02:59] rallias, what make/model is it? a quick google will give you all the info you need im sure [02:59] Yeah. [03:00] dizkonnekted: how do i find that out? [03:00] There is a bit of a debate tbh. [03:00] :O [03:00] Like, Nvidia and Ati call a "core" a different thing. [03:00] rallias: sudo lshw -C Video [03:01] is ubuntu supposed to take like over 30% of my cpu and 500mb ram while idle? :/ [03:01] MrWise: A lot of ubuntu will sit in swap/ram even when idle. [03:02] MrWise, you have a ATI radeon video card? [03:02] Dizkonnekted; yes [03:02] Having problems getting a TV Tuner to play audio... I think it's just the audio input that is not passing through correctly. Can anyone give me a few pointers on troubleshooting approaches. "Sound Properties" show input levels changing, but I'm not sure why it doesn't play. [03:02] ATI Rage XL [03:02] 8mb [03:02] MrWise: With regard to the RAM, unused RAM is wasted RAM, so Ubuntu will load stuff in that it thinks you might use so that it'll be quicker if you do. If you wind up not using it, it just gets overwritten (much like empty RAM would) [03:02] onboard [03:02] Flannel; ah, well, yeah makes sense [03:03] MrWise, you need to disable compiz, right click your desktop, click change desktop background, then click visual effects tab and set it to none [03:03] I'm currently trying to install ubuntu 10.04 with two sata drives. I am using the alternate installer so that I can create a software raid but the installer is only showing sda even though I can see /dev/sdb in another terminal [03:04] Dizkonnekted; visual effects are on none already [03:04] in fact [03:04] visual effects CAN'T be enabled [03:04] my apt-get install is working but the install button in Ubuntu Software Centre isn't doing anything... :/ [03:04] :< [03:04] any rainbow tables generator available for linux [03:05] onetinsoldier that didn't really help, it doesn't list any drivers [03:05] MrWise, check your running processes and sort them by CPU usage and see which is taking up most processor time [03:05] hey so I'm having trouble getting the rotating cube in compiz to work I think its an issue with drivers I have an ATI mobility radeon 2100 video card. I installed the proprietary ATI drivers because the default ones eff up with dual monitors but I don't think they're installed right because I can't access the catalyst control center ati says you need a bunch of packets that I can't find with apt-get anyone have suggestions? [03:05] mom: i know, that it lists using the 'vesa' driver there as a workaround [03:06] ChanServ went hyper [03:06] Dizkonnekted; it shows that only the system monitor is taking any CPU [03:06] this is while I'm running the update manager, hmm [03:06] Is there any easy way to rotate an entire svg in inkscape?

[03:16] ausnomer: oh hmmm wow this is weird [03:16] deco, I may have done a daily update since it was working. [03:16] ausnomer: are you using 10.04 ? [03:16] ausnomer, AFAIK, you shouldn't open GUI programs using sudo, use gksudo instead. mmmmm, perhaps the shortcut is not asking for root permission?, I would check how the shortcut is configured (I'm not sure how to do that though, never messed with GNOME panel, I prefer the old fashioned "run an app from a terminal" [03:16] doug__: It's a command which effectively provides a ld.so wrapper to make programs which use /dev/dsp work with pulseaudio [03:17] deco, yes [03:17] AJ_Z8 yeah I typed padsp at thd terminal and it seemed to do nothing [03:18] chuy_max, ok.. I'll google 'shortcut root permission ubuntu'. [03:18] AJ_Z8 also I may have removed pulse audio [03:18] 8 != 0 [03:18] Hey what kernel version is default with the newest ubuntu? vboxing it and trying to run guest additions [03:18] anyone know who I need to talk to in order to get the planet's RSS feed fixed? [03:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound [03:18] starcoder|Q: 2.6.32-22 [03:18] I was attempting to follow those instructions [03:18] oops [03:18] starghost: 2.6.32-22 [03:18] thanks! [03:19] ausnomer: start software-center from the terminal [03:19] huh? [03:19] doug__: If you want to fight the sound system, then I wish you luck. If you don't, then then you now have one more option [03:19] just to check it's not a shortcut problem [03:19] misfire [03:19] does anyone know a ubuntu app that converts h264 back to dvd5? [03:19] AJ_Z0, what is that? [03:19] lol InvaderZim =P [03:19] :p [03:19] ausnomer, I would do this first: run "software-center" without sudo, and see if it gives you the same behavior as if you opened the program from the panel. if it gives you the same behavior, then, it is likely it has a problem with permissions. [03:19] !info linux-image-generic [03:19] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.22.23 (lucid), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) [03:19] doug__: It's a pronoun [03:20] ausnomer: ffmpeg and dvdcreator [03:20] AJ_Z0, haha what's the option though [03:20] doug__: The option is padsp [03:20] InvaderZim, thanks [03:20] Worked Invader :) thanks again [03:20] chuy_max, deco, ok thanks I'll try it. [03:20] AJ_Z0, whatis supposed to happen when I type padsp? [03:20] starghost: np [03:20] AJ_Z0, it returns nothing [03:21] doug__: Do I really need to tell you how to use the manual? [03:21] AJ_Z0, probably yes [03:21] doug__: # man man [03:21] (It's not at all gay) [03:22] ausnomer, you might also want to check out the app alacarte. it is for messing up with gnome menus. [03:22] chuy_max, ok [03:23] Nickserv IDENTIFY 73calchab [03:23] mztriz: hehehe oops [03:23] ahh [03:23] does anyone know how to check the version of a package in the software center before it is installed? [03:23] time to change pass... [03:23] The unix manual has always been just that - a fully typeset printable manual, divided into sections [the number in ()s often given with the page name] [03:23] wrong tab... [03:23] Anyway [03:23] AJ_Z0, how to you exit one of thosemanuals and return toprompt? [03:23] I have a question about 10.04 and wifi encryption [03:24] If I want to zap everything on a line after a space, how do I do it? sed 's/[ ]//g' filename will just wipe out the space but what can I use rather than [ ] to represent the first space followed by everything on that line after the space? [03:24] doug__: Use whatever key exits out of your $PAGER. Try "q" [03:24] AJ_Z0, yes q worked [03:24] I tried to connect my computer to my wifi and it doesn't work. [03:24] ausnomer: when you click more info [03:24] ausnomer: at the bottom [03:24] extor: remove the g [03:24] it shows the version number [03:24] extor: maybe... [03:25] extor: s/ .*// [03:25] AJ_Z0, by the way I typed padsp man man and it got me the manuak for the manual command [03:25] AJ_Z0, my point being just in case you didn't notice I don't have a clue [03:25] Nickserv identify [03:25] doug__: Try doing what i suggested and not making up random commands in the hope that they might work [03:25] which one is rizon? [03:25] .* [03:26] when I run software center from the terminal without sudo it gives me the following error message: [03:26] /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/aptcache.py:40: GtkWarning: gtk_container_add: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed gtk.main_iteration() [03:26] hehe floodbot caused a flood [03:26] I'm trying to connect my computer to my wireless network but it's not working. It keeps asking me for the password over and over but I'm using the correct key and I've tested it on other machines it works fine. [03:26] AJ_Z0, no need to be rude and you din't tell me how to use the man comand [03:26] I wonder why .* works yet [ .*] fails? [03:26] mztriz: is it hidden? [03:26] InvaderZim no it's not hidden [03:26] Is ndiswrapper a kernel module? [03:27] I can see the network and as a note the wifi card works with networks that arent' encrypted [03:27] pietro10: no [03:27] doug__: We all start clueless and some stay that way. That page for man(1) tell you how to use the man command. To read padsp(1) you can simply use "man padsp" [03:27] ok, can someone link me to the 10.04 DEB for it? [03:27] directly [03:27] pietro10: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [03:27] thanks [03:28] AJ_Z0, yeah I figured all that out by now [03:28] mztriz: which encryption you use [03:28] InvaderZim It's wep [03:28] AJ_Z0, so basically this is some program that Iuse to run other programs and sound should work if I do so [03:28] huh [03:28] extor: Regexps are a strange symbol language worth learning if you spend enough time using the unix toolset [03:28] there doesn't seem to be ndiswrapper === krabador is now known as cinthia39 [03:29] clop2: howdy. you get the hauppage driver/software figured out and fixed up yet? [03:29] yeah I should learn them...I really really should [03:29] on my 10.04 server I am getting modprobe fatal: error inserting padlock_sha .... : no such device.. I cannot get into grub on boot, and it won't continue [03:29] ? [03:29] I love unix even though I have been a noob for over a decade :( === klunka is now known as Guest70431 [03:29] mztriz: have you tried doing it by iwconfig? [03:30] chuy_max, deco, when I run software center from the terminal without sudo it gives that error message in the terminal, and it has the same behaviour as running it from the menu (i.e. clicking install does nothing). [03:30] pietro10: try --> ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [03:30] InvaderZim I will try again [03:30] doug__: Right. I recently used to to run ezqake, which had trouble with /dev/dsp getting locked. I simply ran "pasdsp ezquake ..." and it just worked; though I think there was some loss of signal in the process probably due to sample rate [03:30] actually something else first [03:31] InvaderZim what exactly am I looking for? I only see information on eth1 === Prodego_ is now known as elapse [03:31] pietro10: ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [03:32] is there a way to get grub-pc to ignore specific partitions in the os-prober? [03:32] keeps picking up my recovery partition and its dangerous as all heck [03:33] mztriz: hmmm you would have to type like iwconfig eth1 managed essid your_ssid_name_here key your_wep_key [03:33] mztriz: to test how it goes === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [03:33] ahmeni: i think so... i think in the following file --> /etc/grub.d/40_custom [03:33] InvaderZim Okay I will try that [03:33] AJ_Z0, I get this error (rhythmbox:10549): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed [03:33] mztriz: check man [03:34] InvaderZim okay [03:34] onetinsoldier: that seems to just be a file for custom entries? [03:34] ahmeni: yes. i don't know my way around grub2 really, but thought pointing that file out might help you [03:35] hi, where do I have to go to add my computer in my Ubuntu One account? The "tutorial" says that I need to click on the "Add computer" button, but I don't see that button anywhere (I am actually logged in, at https://one.ubuntu.com/account/) [03:37] yanick_: in the indicator session applet, at the top right of the panel [03:37] InvaderZim it says "Error for Wireless request set ESSID" [03:37] xangua, that opens a window saying that i'm not connected. If I click on "manage account", it brings me back to that https://one.ubuntu.com/account/ page [03:38] InvaderZim SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted" [03:38] mztriz: you need to type sudo before the command [03:38] https://one.ubuntu.com/support/installation/ [03:38] mztriz: forgott to mention it [03:38] there's no "Add this computer" button there ^^ [03:38] ahmeni: Easiest thing is to copy the entries you want to keep to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then either set "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" or "sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" to disable os-prober. [03:39] InvaderZim Okay I tried it with sudo and it accepted the command but just took me back to the prompt [03:39] <[Adam|Miner]> I have like 50 websites I want a 500x400 screenshot of, is there an easy way to do it? (Like some program (prefferably with a gui)) [03:39] mztriz: now you're supposedly connected to your wifi [03:40] mztriz: if you use dhcp, try dhclient or whatever you use for dhcp [03:40] Jordan_U: that's clunky but it'll do , thanks :) [03:40] ahmeni: You're welcome. [03:40] mztriz: you can check with iwconfig eth1... if it shows power, db, essid, etc. youre in [03:40] InvaderZim it's not installed by default in lucid and I can't get the PC online to install anything [03:40] [Adam|Miner], you can use compiz screenshot feature [03:40] yanick_: it should wbe working now then, do you see an 'ubuntu one' folder in your home¿¿ [03:40] InvaderZim Also I've connected this computer to the internet before with a network that wasn't encrypted [03:41] <[Adam|Miner]> Dizkonnekted: But would it be easy to do 50 sites with it in less than like 10 minutes? [03:41] mztriz: whats not installed by def? [03:41] xangua, yes, but the Ubuntu One window still says that I'm not connected [03:41] <_ba> you can have a dhcp server for a network not directly connected to the server right? [03:42] [Adam|Miner], it means doing them all by hand though, are you looking for something to do it automatically? [03:42] <[Adam|Miner]> Dizkonnekted: I was hoping so, or at least in bulk [03:42] + [03:42] * [Adam|Miner] thinks I just said the same thing 2 ways ;/ [03:43] [Adam|Miner]: scrot is a command line tool for taking screenshots. See the man page and this tutorial. You might also want to look at scripting the browser. There are firefox add-ons that take screenshots such as screengrab (which can capture the entire page if you want, not just the visible bit) and you could then script the browser with greasemonkey to take the screenshots. [03:43] [Adam|Miner], i dont know of anything like that sorry :\ [03:43] dizkonnected still in here are you an op? i cant see bause im using xchat i cant see the names lol [03:43] because* [03:43] [Adam|Miner]: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/how_to_take_screenshots_with_scrot [03:43] <[Adam|Miner]> Thanks, I'll look at both [03:43] christos`, im here [03:44] greezmunkey, good suggestions [03:44] InvaderZim the wifi works fine at my house but this isn't my computer it's for someone else and they have a wep key on their netowrk. I've put in the password etc but it just keeps asking me for it over and over but I know it's right I've tested the network with (this computer) and my cell phone [03:44] no i mean are you still in here meaning you on for a while are you an op? because im using xchat i cant see names [03:44] mztriz: you're in gnome? [03:44] Dizkonnekted: I stole that off the net. [03:44] InvaderZim yes [03:44] Quit [03:45] InvaderZim it's a fresh install of lucid [03:45] christos`, im not an op but ill be here for a bit, im using xchat too and i can see all of the names lol [03:45] mztriz: I'm no expert in gnome as I don't use it... but, isn't it asking for the gnome-keyring password? [03:45] oh huh how i cant see no names on the right like you do on the mirc for windows. [03:45] can someone help me with installing ubuntu 10.04 with mdadm raid0? I had completed an install using the alternate installer and upon rebooting it dropped me into a busy box console instead of the ubuntu gui [03:45] greezmunkey, lol www.letmegooglethatforyou.com? :P [03:46] ugggggggggggggh [03:47] Hm. It seems that if I change /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts modifies automatically. How on earth? [03:47] not even ndiswrapper whatever worked [03:47] is there a way I can remove it completely [03:47] what I didt [03:47] $sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/.driver/wifi/DRIVER/bcmwl5.inf [03:47] $sudo ndiswrapper -l [03:47] $sudo ndiswrapper -m [03:47] $sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [03:47] pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:47] pietro10 lol wtf [03:47] InvaderZim, thats your password, it might also ask you for access to the keyring which you can allow once or permanently [03:47] lol [03:47] InvaderZim Yes [03:48] invaderzim what a great cartoon [03:48] christos`: yes =) [03:48] InvaderZim the gnomekey password is just the account's password right? [03:48] mztriz: right [03:48] mztriz: If it's the login keyring, yes [03:48] I followed the instructions here [03:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/1390 [03:48] christos`, - hes clueless [03:49] floodbots are going crazy again :/ [03:49] Doesn't nm-applet sets up a keyring password of its own? [03:49] this Ubuntu One thing is foobar [03:49] theadmin: maybe its a good thing that it changes.. it can break sudo if they are different. [03:49] who is clueless? [03:50] bastid_raZor: It is a good thing, I just don't get how on earth it is possible [03:50] hi [03:50] theadmin: you need to change both.. /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts [03:50] hiexpo who is clueless? [03:50] christos`, - pietro10 hes been on that issue now for about 4 hours [03:50] yanick_, whats the problem with it? [03:51] the problem is this [03:51] - wifi needs restricted driver [03:51] - can't connected via wired because modem only allows one MAC address to connect [03:51] at all [03:51] Dizkonnekted, I can't connect my computer with my account [03:51] Dizkonnekted, there is no "Add this computer" button anywhere [03:52] anyway [03:52] InvaderZim I just tried it again after restarting the computer. It only asks for the login keyring once and then it just keeps prompting for the wep key (which I know is correct) [03:52] how do I remove ndiswrapper [03:52] the way I set it up [03:52] lol im been using linux for like 2 days now man i going to stick to this and hopefully i can answer some questions one day lol [03:52] just remove it with dpkg -r and hope it works/ [03:52] ? [03:52] pietro10, if it's a standard SA cable modem or similar, you can do it with diff mac, but you have to do full reset [03:52] pietro10: dpkg -r?! I think you use sudo apt-get remove packagename [03:52] mztriz: maybe you're typing in the wrong keyring pass... still should work when it asks for the wep key [03:52] theadmin: except I can't connect to the internet [03:53] so I installed the two locally [03:53] with dpkg [03:53] christos`: this is the perfect place to watch and follow along. [03:53] (ndiswhatever-common and -utils) [03:53] pietro10: uh. Still, removing them with apt-get should be possible, also use gdebi to install packages locally [03:53] mztriz: in network manager, disable wireless, delete the profile for the AP you are trying to connect to, restart network manager and try again. ;) [03:53] yanick_, if you use the web login on a new machine it should allow you to add the new pc straight after login [03:53] ok [03:53] mztriz: sorry but I don't know much about gnome-keyring you have to ask to these fellow gnomers here [03:53] Dizkonnekted, I'm following this "guide" here https://one.ubuntu.com/support/installation/ and at step 8, there is no "add this computer" button anywhere [03:54] christos`, yeah, this is the place to be. been hooked for about 7 years, and most of my help has been here or a few other general linux channels. now I come back to help when I can [03:54] Dizkonnekted, it did not [03:54] Blackhawks win [03:54] trying this one last time using the instructions here [03:54] http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac [03:54] mztriz: if you just wanna try I would suggest installing wicd (which removes the network manager applet, so you need to reinstall it if you want it back, which will remove wicd again - they cant coexist) [03:54] seven_Six_Two yeah im already hooked [03:55] yanick_, are you sure the computer has not already been added? [03:55] christos`: Use the tab key :P Type first few letters of a nickname, hit tab to autocomplete it [03:55] pietro10, are you trying to change your mac because your modem won't let you connect? [03:55] theadmin: [03:55] err [03:55] disregard that [03:56] Dizkonnekted, I get this message when I go to the "Computers added to this account" : You haven't added any computers or devices to your Ubuntu One account [03:56] what i dont get it theadmin i press tab then say for your name type t then tab again? [03:56] Dizkonnekted, though I have a "Ubuntu One" directory in my home folder.... [03:57] christos`: Try typing "thea" and hitting tab [03:57] Dizkonnekted, the Ubuntu One window says that I'm not connected [03:57] christos`: without quotes of course [03:57] doug__: Since it's the default audio player in Ubuntu, rhythmbox shoudl work just fine with pulseaduio [03:57] does frank lichtenheld already know packages.ubuntu.com is fucked? [03:57] theadmin, oh wow i see nice [03:57] some weeks now... [03:57] jack, watch the language [03:58] christos`: now, you no longer hooked on just Ubuntu Linux.. now theadmin just got you hooked on IRC as well :-) [03:58] bazhang, answer the content :x [03:58] AJ_Z0, I thinkI removed pulse audio [03:58] onetinsoldier, yeah i know right lol [03:58] ugh [03:58] not even that worked. === pietro10_ is now known as pietro10 [03:59] but it showed the MAC address spoofed [03:59] what the hell [03:59] AJ_Z0, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound I followed this [03:59] doug__: Like I said earlier, if you want to start messing with the sound system, then you're likely on a solo adventure. Out of curiosity, what are you trying to achieve? [03:59] yanick_, thats even after you log in via the Applications, Internet, Ubuntu one? [03:59] Is there a way to show the names on the right like the mirc for windows im using xchat* [03:59] I'm just trying to get sound to work [03:59] Dizkonnekted, yes [04:00] christos`: it should be on by default :S [04:00] doug, check out JACK for sound [04:00] ugh [04:00] I give up [04:00] anyone need help [04:00] yes [04:00] is there a Wubi that comes with restricted drivers [04:00] AJ_Z0, sound wasnot working at all whenI started [04:00] christos`, I'm using xchat, and I have the list of names [04:00] pietro10: no lucks still? [04:00] pietro10, well when i installed this it not im using xchat-gnome [04:00] because until I get this broadcom driver I'm not going anywhere [04:00] is there a difference? [04:00] dunno [04:00] yanick_, what version of ubuntu are you using and what browser? [04:01] basically [04:01] go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [04:01] Dizkonnekted, actually, Ubuntu One is in System > preferences > Ubuntu One. I'm using Lucid [04:01] ur welcome [04:01] - I can't connect to the internet [04:01] pietro10, haha dude [04:01] - I can't use wired because my modem will only let one MAC address [04:01] Dizkonnekted, Ubuntu One opens Firefox for browsing, so I'm using that [04:01] - Spoofing didn't work [04:01] - ndiswrapper didn't wor [04:01] k [04:01] for wireless [04:02] anyone have an xbox360 quick question why on google chrome when i log in it gives me a message sayin I cant acess my account but on firefox i can? [04:02] InvaderZim I give up lol I'm just going to have her get the router from upstairs so she can connect directly [04:02] ill give you an screenshot or something if needed [04:02] christos`: is your xchat not showing nicks on the right? it should be. mine does by default. i felt i needed to enlarge the sidebar that shows the nicks by dragging it in a little, but it's there [04:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244226 [04:02] doug__: I wouldn't want to discourage you from this learning experience, but the usual approach to solving a problem with some component not working is not riping it and some other stuff out and trying to make something else work instead [04:02] christos`: JavaScript enabled on chrome? [04:03] yanick_, ahh ok, you should also find with Lucid Ubuntu one preferences, and from there you should have some extra options, im not using lucid so i dont know for sure sorry, but try options/preferences [04:03] AJ_Z0, well someone here point me to that link I just pasted and thatdirected me to those oss instructions [04:03] so [04:03] pietro10, what r u trying to do [04:03] AJ_Z0, I did not know what else to try [04:03] connect to the internet [04:03] pietro10, haha good one [04:03] exit [04:04] from a Dell Precision M6400 [04:04] AJ_Z0, would you recommend I try to revert back to where I started? is there anything I acn try once I do that is simpler [04:04] hello room, im using 9.10, ive had a look through the forums and tried some suggestions there and found that enabling KMS solved my ATI RADEON 9200 (pci) problem i was having, but then it stopped working for no apparent reason, anyone able to help? [04:04] Dizkonnekted, there are no options/preferences, only three tabs : Account, Devices, Services.

I want to install 10.04 but I don't want everything on the same partition. I know I will have a dedicated /home partition. But are there other parts that may be worth putting in a different partition? [04:19] dlp211: well my laptop is overheating alot quicker, video playing is laggy as hell, and processor is peaking out like hell, didnt have those problems as much with 9.14 [04:20] dlp211, Know of anyway that if you were using a playlist that you can use a popout to view the list? [04:20] gmonnie: well those are some serious problems [04:20] jan-pieter, y [04:20] dlp211: and im not doing anything different than i was with 9.14 [04:20] arrrrrggggh [04:20] fuck [04:20] jan-pieter, thats a personal choice i would say, you can check the ubuntu documentation for suggestions [04:20] I just saw that it was not flashing the Connected light [04:21] pietro10, that language is not called for [04:21] but I can't put it in any tighter [04:21] !language [04:21] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

But with usr/local What ends up in there? [04:22] looks like im gonna have to just reinstall 9.14, aint that just peachy [04:22] The bot told me please dont think im intelligent rofl [04:22] jan-pieter: probably all you'll want is / on it's own partition, it needs to be at least 4 Gig, and then /usr and /home have their own partitions. make /usr fairly large [04:22] christos`: "Linux is user friendly, it's just very choosy about its friends" - bashorg [04:22] gmonnie: you need to backup and reinstall...when you reinstall partition your HDD so that your home folder has its own partition [04:22] I know ubottu used to have @t [04:22] that was fun [04:23] jan-pieter: If you ever install anything manually, it goes in /usr/local/* [04:23] Nice :) [04:23] theadmin, You beat me to it. [04:23] theadmin, haha [04:23] anyway forget it, I'm going to see if there's another distro I can install in a way like Wubi that does have these ddrivers supported [04:23] i wont worry about that, i have all my data and stuff backed up on an external [04:23] because ti doesn't seem to want to recognize wireless [04:23] er, wired [04:23] If you install something from the package manager does it end up in /usr/local ? [04:23] pietro10: try Mint [04:24] theadmin, lol that was fast [04:24] anyone need help? [04:24] dlp211: unless you think i should do it anyway, i dont have that much experience with partitioning [04:25] i need help, guest74478 !!! [04:25] i seem to have fixed the 'broken packages' in synaptic, but open office presentation still will not launch, and i get this when i try to use the update manager: http://imagebin.ca/view/fwgZERo.html [04:25] jan-pieter: i'd make your / at least 8 Gig's, and /usr at least the same if not bigger. installed package pretty much go into /usr ...not /usr/local [04:26] so... [04:26] question [04:26] mikubuntu, I saw that once. I did the upgrade from terminal and everything was fine. [04:26] mikubuntu: close update manager, and pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` [04:26] jan-pieter, unless you have a very specific need, i would suggest just keeping a large seperate home partition [04:26] gmonnie: partitioning is easy...you just need to make sure you have a swap, a /, and /home, the partitioner will take care of the rest [04:26] flannel, ok [04:26] gimme minut [04:26] can anybody tell me how to fix my ubuntu software center [04:26] mikubuntu, click Partial Upgrade [04:27] i cp -rf 'd my /home folder to a separate ext3 partition, shou;d I assume everything's copied except for the "special files" that it says cannot be copied over as sudo? [04:27] maybe if you were to tell us what is wrong with it tristan3199 [04:27] Ok thanks. I just like to fiddle around with my pc [04:27] assume i used sudo [04:27] gmonnie: swap should be abouit 512. id give 10 gigs to / and the rest to /home...just make sure you save all files to /home [04:27] jan-pieter, best way to learn ;) [04:27] CaptainTrek: There's a better way to do that, with cpio and find: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [04:28] anyone here familiar withs horewall? [04:28] CaptainTrek: You'll know for next time, if nothing else [04:28] shorewall? [04:28] tristan2199: what is wrong with it? [04:28] Oh one more thing. Is it possible to move something to a dedicated partition after I isntalled ubuntu? [04:28] Flannel: again, i'm just trying to get all the files off of it, not the special files. Can I assume that everything was copied over? [04:29] Flannel: its not to make a separate home partition, just to get the files [04:29] having a problem with authoriation... it says autorization failed [04:29] it asks for my password.. i give it.. then it says... [04:29] Flannel: you alive?

Apparently it reset the version I forced [04:48] Ins0mniac: what did you do exactly? [04:48] Flannel: ah, okay, meld? [04:48] Synaptic - searched for linux-image, and reset all the 2.6.32-22.33 to 2.6.32-21.32 [04:48] Flannel: sudo apt-get install meld? [04:48] CaptainTrek: Yeah, sudo apt-get install meld, and then use it (and it's just like winmerge or whatever you've used) [04:48] ah yeah its winmerge that I was goin to use xD [04:48] anymore advice? [04:48] All that work and this darn nvidia the nvidia site recommended isn't even the right one... [04:49] CaptainTrek: In fact, you could probably use that tool to explore the filestructure too, since a lot of those tools can do that, but for non-trivial trees, I imagine it becomes unweildy [04:49] Ins0mniac: ok, then installed? did it remove your current running kernel? i doubt it would have let you do that... unless perhaps, you really did type in a 'force' option somewhere [04:49] tristan3199: temp solution...you can use sudo apt-get from the command line [04:49] flannel: its reading the two text files now [04:49] flannel: how long could it take to read it? [04:50] Package > Force Version. It allows me to select between 'lucid' and 'lucid-updates.' Which, the one that came with the lucid disk was the one I'm trying to revert to (program compatability issues) [04:50] ah its computing differences now [04:50] xD [04:50] CaptainTrek: There's a line in each of those files for every file you've got [04:50] It did install, and it was supposed to remove the kernel, but I guess it didn't. When I reboot, I do not get an option for selecting a kernel version, which confused me. [04:50] hello i need that when ubuntu is starting to do this sudo gedit /usr/sbin/update-initramfs and add this "exit 0 on one of the lines of update-initramfs is it possible?? [04:50] Flannel: 140,000+ files xD [04:50] Ins0mniac: what do you get from? --> dpkg -l linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic [04:50] sudo apt-get? what do i want to get?

[04:52] Ins0mniac: yes.. it's uninstalled [04:52] tristan3199: well you obviously need something from the software center...instead use apt-get to retrieve the package [04:53] Ins0mniac: what do you get from? --> uname -r [04:53] can i use sudo apt-get to install a "fresh copy" of the software [04:53] $ uname -r [04:53] 2.6.32-22-generic [04:53] oh boy [04:53] tristan3199: of which software? [04:53] reinstall my software center mabey? [04:54] Running ubuntu in virtual box so the hardware detect isn't accurate. [04:54] or is it more complicated than that? [04:54] ok people, what happens if you forcefully uninstall a current running kernel? anything bad? [04:54] lol [04:54] my authorization seems ok in everything else like downloading from the net and running sudo ect.. [04:54] I just did a few changes. that's why it probably says that [04:54] I need to reboot. [04:55] tristan3199: Hmm, you could, but I don't think that'd solve that issue. Lets try something else instead: `gksu software-center` and lets see what it says [04:55] if anything I can go into grub and reset a few things and fix stuff, lol. onetinsoldier, thanks for the help, I think it should be fixed now, if everything worked just fine. [04:55] Ins0mniac: you might want to make positive the 2.6.32-21 is installed [04:55] ii linux-image-2. 2.6.32-21.32 Linux kernel image for version 2.6.32 on x86 [04:55] looks like it.

[04:56] Ins0mniac: ok, you might be ok to reboot. as bastid_raZor said, you might need to press shift after POST to change which kernel to boot into [04:56] probably a bunch of people, Assid [04:56] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download -- hit create usb .. and show me how [04:56] the link from pendrivelinux dont work [04:57] it opens the site [04:57] Ins0mniac: ok, good luck :) [04:57] doesnt download the exe [04:57] CaptainTrek: I don't know, I'm not terribly familiar with meld, I imagine you hit 'open' and then direct it to each folder [04:57] thanks :) i probably will need it, knowing my luck [04:57] thankfully this is a new install haha [04:57] hehe [04:57] I have an nVidia ION gpu.

[05:57] I am using on Ubuntu 10.04 [05:57] I'm stuck with a grub rescue prompt need help [05:59] flannel, thanks everything seems to have updated, open office launches now, and software center appears in menu [06:02] hi, i am using telnet to connect to the qemu-monitor. is there any easy way to exit such a session? ctlr-5 and then exit is a little annoying [06:02] firefox is telling me I don't have 'enough file permissions' to use a download folder, I didn't have that error with chromium, anyone know a way around?? [06:03] CaptainTrek: wubi install? [06:03] go [06:04] almoxarife, Make sure you have permission to write to that directory? [06:04] TwoshedsJackson: I do outside of firefox [06:04] almoxarife, Any folder in your home directory should work fine [06:04] ok [06:04] TwoshedsJackson: they do, I want to use a folder outside the tree [06:05] almoxarife, Check the permissions of the folder and change accordingly [06:05] almoxarife, Although it does sound strange :) [06:06] TwoshedsJackson: I can read and write to that folder with other apps, only see issue in firefox [06:06] hi all, I'm trying to get Japanese input working with SCIM - it's installed but I can't seem to be able to change input anywhere to Japanese and the shortcut keys to do so aren't helping [06:08] almoxarife, Have you tried running firefox as root and see if it changes? :) [06:09] hi all [06:09] TwoshedsJackson: thought about it, but I would create a profile in root that I don't need and only prove that root can do anything [06:09] i apoligize... did anybody get a chance to check out http://paste.ubuntu.com/441604/ about my software center issue with authorization [06:10] almoxarife, Try to run sudo firefox and see if it helps first [06:10] almoxarife, Although I bet there are security issues involved [06:11] i used to be able to gpg verify files in nautilus by right-clicking on them, but since upgrading to lucid lynx, i don't see the option any more. any idea why not? [06:13] tristan3199: I saw where you could not open some web page, I tried opening the same page and was able to, not sure what that means [06:14] i have upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 now my software center give me error... posting link in moment === Chazz is now known as Guest50810 [06:17] anyone know if it's possible to recover from a crashed upgrade? [06:17] i get a busybox prompt complaining about no /sbin/init or something [06:17] actually a friends computer i was walking him through the upgrade [06:18] hi boys... how can i go to a [06:18] You could try a live cd, and update/upgrade. but it may be easier to just backup data and reinstall billybigrigger [06:18] Dr_Willis, i was thinking the same thing [06:19] billybigrigger: the upgrade itself crashed? or did it succede.. but now when the system boots it dosent boot properly? [06:19] he doesn't have a livecd handy [06:19] no, something about no init found during the upgrade [06:19] what are the salient differences between vmware player & server? [06:19] complete fail on the upgrade by the sounds of it [06:19] * CaptainTrek reconnects through his netbook [06:19] next upgrade will definitely be done via terminal [06:19] i never trust that update-manager, either for updates or upgrades, and this is why :P [06:20] billybigrigger: well i mean. did the upgrade 'program' actuall y crash - so it didsent do a complete upgrade.. or did the upgrade program finish and say to reboot. and the finised upgrade now fails to boot. (2 different sort of probmels) [06:20] I never upgrade til the upgrade's a month old.. [06:20] no [06:20] system hardlocked in the middle of the upgrade [06:20] Hello, my problem is this: I'm able to access the internet via firefox when I'm logged in the gnome browser, but when I'm in LXSD, the lighter window manager, I can't. Any suggestions? [06:20] i was watching via top and everything just shit the bed [06:20] billybigrigger: thats a very bad thing :) [06:21] it sure is :P [06:21] julian_: can you access the internet via any application in lxsd ? [06:21] billybigrigger: i would have to say time to backup/clean install. [06:21] julian_: gnome uses network-manager to config your network... [06:21] yeah, luckily i setup his /home and / and separate partitions, so a clean install will be a breeze [06:21] whats the filesystem check/repair command? [06:21] /home on separate partition ftw [06:21] SwedeMike, I was able to use software update in lxsd. Not sure if that would use network... [06:21] Trek: 'fsck' normallyt is used for that. [06:21] !fsck [06:21] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [06:21] just that he's two hours away with no cd's, and doesn't know anyone in the town he just moved to so, i'll have to hotshot out a disc for him i guess :( [06:22] :) [06:22] frogzoo, what does lxsd use? I used network tool and was able to ping myself. [06:22] billybigrigger: one of the best addons i found for a pc. this little drivebay drawer. :) I keep live cd's and live flash drives for backup in the drawer. :) [06:22] that would be handy [06:22] he's just got a laptop :) [06:22] billybigrigger: or i use a cheap 1gb flash drive taped inside the case for emergancy repairs. :) [06:23] good thinking [06:23] Dr_Willis: yikes, I've been using it for mu coffee cup :/ [06:23] julian_: never used it tbh [06:23] greezmunkey: this is anactual drawer. can hold about 20 cd's cost me $10 i think. [06:23] he's not much of a nerd, :) i myself would never leave myself in that situation but... :) [06:23] drivebay drawer is a killer idea [06:23] not sure what action fixed it... going to install authorizations (configures authorizations) now and reboot. thanks for all the help. [06:23] frogzoo, i'm confused too. Not sure what happened. [06:24] billybigrigger: i have also set up a /boot/ partition with grub2 to be able to boot an iso file from the ./boot/ partition as a rescue feature also. [06:24] Dr_Willis: nice place to stash stuff ;) [06:24] hope fully it works after reboot... ill come back and let you know [06:24] greezmunkey: yep. :) I need a little drawer now for the unused floppy drive bay. [06:24] Dr_Willis: can the contents be encrypted, I wonder... === Trek is now known as CaptainTrek [06:25] greezmunkey: http://www.gearlog.com/2007/06/drive_bay_device_roundup_use_y.php [06:25] Dr_Willis, i'ver never thought of a rescue iso on the boot partition either, thats genius :) [06:25] whats the new way of doing gtk-config? [06:25] for cflags and libs [06:25] I have a webcam on my netbook running Ubuntu. The problem is TokBox can't keep the camera turned on for more than a couple of minutes, and I have to wait a long time between making it retry. How do I keep the camera turned on entirely? [06:25] FYI, previously, I had to reconfigure and restart network manager, because a bug in which it couldn't get out of sleep. [06:25] billybigrigger: im not sure if you can install from that iso rescue to the same hd or not. I used it to install to a 2nd hd.. once. but ive rarely needed the rescue feature [06:25] Without it turning off until I'm done? [06:26] Dr_Willis, well atleast you could growisofs the iso to a blank disc, if your left without net connection or something [06:26] billybigrigger: you could always do micro disrto on /boot/ :) for extra recocvery options. [06:28] billybigrigger: yeah assuming you can boot into grub... [06:32] I have 4 drives, I was trying to set them up using mdadm however I have given up on that.... and I need to arp all information pertaining to this, how is that possible? [06:33] I have re-installed the system, however on install it informed me that the raid device was still there.... [06:33] tyler_d4: use mdadm --zero-superblock on the drives === Guest50810 is now known as dabomb69 [06:34] SwedeMike: as in "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda" [06:35] SwedeMike: or "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda1" <--- partition [06:35] tyler_d4: whatever you used to add to the array [06:36] SwedeMike: couldn't open for write - not zeroing [06:37] :( ubuntu's so slow on netbook (gma500) [06:37] tyler_d4: sudo ? [06:37] yes sudo [06:37] tyler_d4: mdadm --stop and try again [06:38] whenever i type a command in gnome terminal i get no output until i press another key like ill type ' ls -lh enter' and have to press enter again or some other key to get the results to show up in the console [06:38] hey guys [06:38] is there a google calendar notify app for ubuntu? [06:38] like the gmail notifier? [06:38] SwedeMike: is there no way to just arp all information for this? [06:39] tyler_d4: I have no idea what you mean by "arp information". [06:39] mv /etc/mdadm.conf /etc/mdadm1.conf [06:39] nlion: sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-googlecalendar [06:40] Kiff: if he used 0.9 superblocks and did the fd partition thing the kernel will autostart [06:40] tyler_d4, Try to use palimpsest to manage the array [06:40] SwedeMike: delete, kill [06:40] unless you have something in rc.local or somewhere else assembling the raid array [06:40] Kiff: last time i saw somthing similer to that i had some how spawned a 2nd shell/process to the background. [06:40] I don't want to manage it, just want it gone [06:40] tyler_d4: of course there is a way, that's what I suggested. [06:40] Kiff: so every other line was going to a differnt shell. made it a little weird [06:40] SwedeMike: ok, I will tias [06:40] tyler_d4, Try palimpsest either case, it's handy as hell [06:40] Dr_Willis: its all coming back to the same shell [06:40] but only after prompted [06:41] Kiff: try a 2nd xterm and see if it affects all of them [06:41] Hello [06:41] =) [06:41] Dr_Willis: yeah it affects all of them [06:41] i have 5 or so open [06:42] Is anybody else using Ubuntu 10.04 Firefox 3.6.3 having problems with slow FLASH 10 [06:42] Kiff: interesting. i forget the proper option to tell xterm/bash to not use the bashrc. but thats where i would look next. [06:42] hey guys is the newest ubuntu release LTS? [06:42] make that 7 .. ok ill see what i can find [06:42] st0ner yes [06:42] st0ner: yes [06:42] ty [06:42] Kiff: xterm -e 'bash --norc --noprofile' [06:43] what erick_alcala said [06:43] Kiff [06:43] Do you guys know how to fix slow Flash? [06:43] Kiff: that dosent seem to be a totally clean bash. but its close. :) [06:43] download flashlib from adobe and put it in ur mozilla plugins folder? [06:44] thanks dr wil [06:44] Kiff trying that, but am also using google chrome, as long as it is fixed in any browser am ok with that lol [06:44] Kiff: if using a custom ps prompt. that may be the issue also. [06:44] TwoshedsJackson: hey dependencies on palimpsest [06:46] erick_alcala: i found using the 'killflash' plugin helps... shows all the flash links and lets you decide which to play. My understanding is that flash in linux is a bit of a resource hog [06:46] Dr_Willis: the weird thing is it only does it when im working on local machine.. if i use the same term and ssh elsewhere its fine [06:47] I have an issue with flash where it isn't slow but youtube for example doesn't allow interaction i.e. clicking play doesn't working [06:47] I have an issue with flash where it isn't slow but youtube for example doesn't allow interaction i.e. clicking play doesn't work [06:47] Dr_Willis: im just using straight up gnome terminal [06:47] only space bar [06:47] somethinginteres: known issue. with about a dozen different fix's one can try. :) [06:47] tyler_d4, Synaptic can't help? [06:48] should look into that hey :) [06:48] somethinginteres: one work around i recall is to right click, as you click on the button. [06:48] TwoshedsJackson: sorry, my bad... lol, should have mentioned 10.04 server --- its ok though, X-forwarded [06:49] ok . uhm is there flashlib for flash10? [06:49] !bugs > wise_crypt [06:49] wise_crypt, please see my private message === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:51] erick_alcala: yes goto adobe download linux version untar and cp to wherever your plugins folder might be [06:51] i used to be able to gpg verify files in nautilus by right-clicking on them, but since upgrading to lucid lynx, i don't see the option any more. any idea why not? [06:51] but I have flash installed, problem I have is flash plays SLOW!! :S [06:52] what version of flash it is? [06:52] erick_alcala: blame adobe for the most part. [06:52] flash is a dog [06:52] erick_alcala: there are some newer beta/flash versions. but those may or may not play at all [06:53] I dont need who to blame lol , I just need to play flash videos or swfs faster [06:53] it lags [06:53] erick_alcala: how slow? it stutters? [06:53] it looks like a slideshow [06:53] a video!! :O [06:53] erick_alcala, ati graphics? [06:54] Intel [06:54] erick_alcala: some issue with gfx/driver I would assume [06:54] I have a emachines T3604 with Ubuntu 10.04 and adobe flash plugin version 10 installed [06:54] erick_alcala: theres only so much suggestions we can offer. Ive noticed sluggish videos on very high end box's and ive noticed it worked good on lower end machines. [06:55] are there restricted drivers or suck to activate? [06:55] . [06:55] on any browser same problem [06:55] how to recover data in linux ? [06:55] erick_alcala: You could alwyas use some flash-downloader program and download/convert the flash to a better format. [06:55] such* [06:55] how can I find the max resolution that my system could run on a monitor? its on a low res monitor now... just want to be sure it can handle 2048x__ before buying one [06:55] Dr_Wills for videos over an hour not such a good idea =S [06:55] rkavalap, recover how? [06:55] erick_alcala: are you using the correct drivers for your hardware? [06:56] erick_alcala: (video) [06:56] peacetara I assume yes [06:56] Dr_Willis: make a good point.. if you download the flv does it play bad in totem or vlc [06:56] erick_alcala: done it befor.,. If they are not playable now.. then you do it or do without i guess. You COULD try the latest beta of flash that might help. [06:56] erick_alcala: [06:56] yeah? [06:56] erick_alcala: the latest beta of flash may also not work at all. :) [06:57] Hanasaki: look up your graphics card, it will tell you the max res your system can handle [06:57] Adobe supports Linux Flash now. Does very wel on my system. [06:57] erick_alcala: Dr_Willis: make a good point.. if you download the flv does it play bad in totem or vlc [06:57] Ububasher: ive had it work well on some.. and not so well on others. [06:57] already scanned the web.. zipo aussie [06:57] ah [06:57] Kiff checking [06:57] fixed my software center.. thanks guys... [06:57] HuluDesktop player - is what i use normally.. but it has issues all the time. :( [06:57] what GPU do you have? [06:58] The only systems I haven't had luck with (flash) were systems with weird 3 prop drivers... [06:58] ie Compaq drivers [06:58] TwoshedsJackson: Trying to recover a crashed drive with linux on it [06:58] rkavalap: in what way crashed? [06:58] head crash? [06:58] sol on head crash [06:58] Kiff flv in VLC play very good!! [06:59] rk.......crash/ [06:59] now my next question... whats the major difference between kde and gnome... does one based on gaming or office or why do i have both... also kde doesnt connect to the net and dont know how to set it up to use my wireless... [06:59] Trying to install ubuntu 10.04 netbook on my eeepc. Made a unetbootin usb with the iso. It drops to busy box when setting up the installer and says "(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument/nCan not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs [06:59] NO Propietary drivers are used on this system [07:00] tristan3199: kde uses a differnt desktop. - You can use both. and they should both connect to the internet fine. KDE has a different wirless manager tool - that is a bit more complex. [07:00] tristan3199: but it should be able to connect to any network that gnome's network manager does [07:00] erick.....is you rsystem SUPPOSED to use a 3 prop driver? [07:00] No sir [07:00] ok [07:00] kiff: cant boot [07:00] emachine? [07:00] erick_alcala: in firefox when you look at a page with flash in it is there a little lego bottom right status bar [07:00] emachine T3604 [07:00] rk.......doesn't mean crash [07:01] Dr_Willis: yeah, and I found that the KDE wireless often hast problems connecting to encrypted wifi [07:01] i cant find any icons or programs like network managaers icon on my toolbar [07:01] click on it and check there might be a few diff flash pugins.. try differenct ones [07:01] bah i pressed enter when i didnt want to [07:01] pallgone: ive never had the issue. I have noticed its a bit more complex to use. (takes more clicks.) [07:01] Kiff looking for it. [07:01] rk......no boot does not = crash [07:02] erick_alcala: i get a little lego looking block far bottom right.. if i click on it it gives me a list of possible media plugins for the page. [07:02] i am using a lap top and trying to get familiar with kde.. how do i get a connection to the net [07:02] rk....laptop or desk? [07:02] Ububasher: Well tats the software crash :) not the hardware [07:03] rkavalap: cant boot after doing what? [07:03] so you have hardware crash (rk)? [07:03] rkavalap: did you upgrade? [07:03] and the difference between kde and gnome are basically looks based? [07:03] it has : plugins in use and all plugins [07:03] tristan3199: you may want to ask in #kubuntu - I dont have kde running so cant walk you through it. [07:03] thanks doc [07:03] tristan3199: i just recall an icon on a panel, and a few clicks. and it connected [07:03] erick_alcala: you can select a plugin to use on that page.. try a few and se where you get [07:04] kde ubuntu and kubuntu are the same? [07:04] almost [07:04] tristan3199: Kubuntu = ubuntu with KDE instead of gnome [07:04] well tried to upgrade dbus from source, it kind of messed something. [07:04] testing.. =) [07:05] tristan....try opening terminal, type 'network-manager; [07:05] wait [07:05] wrong dist [07:05] I usually iwconfig [07:05] rkavalap: ok then ur fstab is looking for /dev/hd* instead of /dev/sd* ? [07:06] tristan3199: you may find more KDE experience in #kubuntu [07:06] in kde i dont know how to get to terminal? do it here? [07:06] rkavalap: what you tried a recover with ubuntu install disk [07:06] i will go to #kubuntu as to not disturb the channel here? [07:06] I usually just throw the drive in another machine and extract [07:07] your no trouble tris [07:07] kiff: havent tried any yet. [07:07] Hi I am trying to set up my ubuntu laptop to share its internet connection via wifi, but am running into problems. [07:07] tristan3199: #kubuntu will probably have more users of KDE, and thus more familiarity [07:07] i have windows and ubuntu installed on diff partiions, i was able to choose the size of the ubuntu partition when i first installed it, is there anyway to make it bigger without wiping out windows? [07:07] sure ill be back soon.. lots of questions.... later and thanks for all the help.. [07:07] rk......have you tried inserting hd into another machine? [07:08] (to recover files, needs to be operating machine) [07:08] brand0n: backup and use gparted [07:08] The latest behaviour: my secondary laptop detects the wifi server, but keeps asking for the password (i verified that the password i enter is correct) [07:08] gparted is greyed out where it says adjust size Kiff [07:09] Ububasher: its a laptop hdd. and i dont have 2.5" to usb connecter to connect to another machine [07:09] I used the nm-applet to create the new shared connection [07:09] uhmm [07:09] ah [07:09] forget it [07:09] brand0n: are you running gparted on a live system or live cd? [07:09] ok rk [07:09] reinstalling UBUNTU =( [07:09] sorry erik [07:09] it used to work fine!! dont know what happened to it!!

I can't use internet except in firefox (where I can disable ipv6) [07:10] kiff im running it from the hdd [07:10] the mode is Ad-Hoc, I guess that is OK? [07:10] Kiff, lol I know man I installed windows on 3 machines, and ubuntu on 2 so alil used to it =) [07:10] _Brun0_: modprobe -r -f ipv6 or simething [07:10] haskell......Ad hoc bad; what are you trying to do? [07:11] i installed ubuntu on my moms,dads,brothers,sisters computers [07:11] brand0n: try it from the gparted live cd.. dunno if it'll let you do ito n a mounted live partition [07:11] brand0n also installed it in my dads lol [07:11] ah that makes sense kiff [07:11] ill try that [07:11] thank you [07:11] 大家好 [07:11] Ububasher: I want to share my wired internet connection across two laptops; LT1 is connected to the Internet via a wired connection, and I want to share this connection with LT2 [07:11] partition magic (linux) is a magnificant toll [07:11] tool [07:11] brand0n and my best friends LOL =) ,.... well brb Iwill be instlling everything again :S [07:11] brand0n: you can turn it off via /etc/modprobe.d/aliases [07:11] brand0n: backup though if tehres anything important [07:11] me too erick_alcala [07:11] everyone used to call me [07:11] ah, then ad hoc good [07:11] thanks all for ur help =) [07:11] brand0n: Try using Acronis on windows, I think they might have a demo. [07:11] for pc troubleshooting [07:11] ugh [07:12] then i installed ubuntu on all their pc;s [07:12] now they never call for help [07:12] brand0n excelent choice [07:12] _Brun0_: you can turn it off via /etc/modprobe.d/aliases [07:12] * mneptok has a tab-complete fail [07:12] none of them do high end gaming, so ubuntu > windows in every possible way [07:12] aside from that [07:12] seems like I require live disc to get stuff working. Will check that out. [07:12] i do have one bug though im curious if anyone else is experiencing it [07:12] bug... [07:13] since i upgraded to 10.04 sometimes i gotta login via shell [07:13] curious [07:13] and do sudo gdm [07:13] to get ubuntu to boot [07:13] weird [07:13] indeed [07:13] its only sometimes [07:13] only sometime? [07:13] welp i gotta go put the roast on [07:13] just out of curiosity, has anyone recovered deleted files in linux ? [07:13] <_Brun0_> mneptok: are you sure? I think modprove comes in kernel now. [07:13] rkavalap: once or twice but its better not to delete them [07:13] ubuntu will boot fine then it goes straight to command line [07:13] id say half the time [07:13] rk......files aren't deleted unless shredded, only flaggedd [07:14] the other half i gotta login to the shell and do sudo gdm [07:14] brand0n: 'boot' is not the same as 'starting the gui' :) [07:14] now LT2 sees the connection that is shared by LT1 and tries to connect, but it keeps asking for the password again and again without managing to actually connect [07:14] _Brun0_: yes, you can use the pf config to turn off IPv6. "alias net-pf-10 off ipv6" [07:14] welp i gotta go put the roast on again [07:14] well whatever term you use Dr_Willis [07:14] Ububasher: I understand that. but is there way to recover those flagged files ? [07:14] sometimes i gotta run sudo gdm from command line [07:14] brand0n: ive had issues where gdm faults out due to the nvidia drivers not loading fast enough. that makes it drop backt t he shell, or the low-res warning :) [07:14] or ubuntu wont load the gui [07:14] yes [07:14] <_Brun0_> Kiff: modprobe -r -f ipv6 FATAL: Module ipv6 not found [07:14] yes rk [07:14] ohhhh [07:15] brand0n: theres some fixs for that mentioned in the forums if you are on a nvidia system [07:15] but I have no idea how [07:15] Dr_Willis, im using nvidia drivers [07:15] cool [07:15] brand0n: have you tried earlier kernels to see if the problem exhibits itself there? [07:15] I do know its possibe; [07:15] that must be the problem [07:15] supposed to be easy [07:15] software issue [07:15] brand0n: theres some timeout setting that is set to 'low' from what i read in the forum posts., I did a few of the tweaks suggested and havent had anissue with it lately [07:16] Trying to install ubuntu 10.04 netbook on my eeepc.

[07:17] I figure there must be software which could look for the flags [07:17] Grub got messed on my system with removing Ubuntu 9.04 [07:18] ububasher, you unmount the partition, turn on the debug for the filesystem, run lsdel, and then another command to restore the file [07:18] Is it possible to use NetworkManager to share a wired internet connection over wireless? How does one go about doing this? [07:18] anyone? [07:19] sweet! thanks mael!!! [07:19] debugfs is the command to get debug stuff.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:23] ok [07:23] phlak_user, thanks for telling a person who actually knows the rules in this channel, and read the freakin scrollbacks?!?!?

[07:27] maelaian, with crappy help from #grub [07:27] >.> [07:27] phlak_user, is it possible to use .gif image to desktop [07:28] :( [07:28] Hello all [07:28] ;) [07:28] linux: not sure; do you mean animated gif? [07:28] phlak_user, ya [07:28] sonyeric: did you install pavucontrol and check? [07:28] u can but the animation wont work [07:29] well to hell with 10.04. After breaking one computer I thought it must be a fluke, then it broke on a second computer, both install time problems. Going to put easypeasy on my netbook since well it seems to be tested. [07:29] ok....phlak_user...ill try [07:29] linux: I once tried, it loaded, but there will be no animation. [07:29] linux: there is another way to get animated wallpaper on desktop [07:29] ya i tried too but no success [07:29] Hello. [07:29] how [07:29] Hello turkuamk [07:29] ^^ [07:30] phlak_user: you mean wallpaper that changed every so often? or an actual video type animaton? === CaptainTrek is now known as HappierTrek [07:30] linux: did you try with xwinwrap [07:30] well, the instructions I got from ubuntu was more useful than the #grub people [07:30] thanks [07:30] Dr_Willis: actual motion === HappierTrek is now known as CaptainTrek [07:30] phlak_user, dont give me this xwinwrap i alrday tryed it [07:30] I installed the new version of Ubuntu, but I cannot find how to remove the icons in the Applications menu… There was somewere the option but I cannot find it. [07:30] linux: it worked well for me [07:30] hello all [07:30] phlak_user: vlc has some plugins to Put an actual video on the background I recall. but thats a little extreme [07:31] Where did it go? [07:31] turkuamk: try the 'alacarte' tool? [07:31] phlak_user, ya it work for me too but i wanna gif to work [07:31] I've got a couple of questions: [07:31] 1.) What configuration/setting governs teh log rotation of logs such as /var/log/dmesg and how can I make it NOT retain the old logs but instead delete them? [07:31] linux: sorry i dont know [07:31] 2.) What are kern.log dmesg.log and all the other stuff anyway? I only know messages.log for kernel logging?! Besides, I'm not really interested in such extreme verbosity, especially not from the kernel. Is that the unchangeable default in ubuntu to log so awfully many files? [07:31] ManDay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:31] 3.) On Startup, going into hibernation or returning from the latter I get a message that "[..... device rt7...usb... failed to set state ..." (I can't recall the exact message and don't know which log to find it in. Does anyone know what that means and how to fix it? [07:31] ManDay: logrotate [07:31] in ubuntu software center whene i install the software download is until progress and never ending [07:31] ok [07:32] phlak_user, so what? [07:32] Did you get all 4 questions? [07:32] for example install `geany` still in 64 percent and with `Downloading` [07:32] ManDay: im responding to the one which you asked how to control log rotation [07:32] phlak_user, i know about logrotate but dmesg appears nowhere within its configurations [07:32] Dr_Willis: Ok, I opened it. Now? :P [07:33] Sorry, I am quite new at this… [07:33] turkuamk: use the tool to reorder/clean out your menus. [07:33] But how to remove the icons near the menu? [07:33] turkuamk: Not sure what you mean. [07:34] I don’t want to remove the entries, just the icons of the entries. [07:34] Click Application: you see little icons on the left. [07:34] *s [07:34] There used to be a setting ages ago to hide all icons in all the menus. but ive not seen that in years. [07:34] phlak_user, anything else? [07:34] people, please help me with setting, ftp-server :) (I am from Russia) :) [07:34] I find something in the gconf-editor, but it removes just the icons in the Settings part of the menu. [07:35] linux: Well, here is the procedure for setting up animated wallpaper http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/ [07:35] ManDay: try playing around with /etc/rsyslog.conf [07:35] x1m: go ahead [07:36] phlak_user, I found out that dmesg is in /init/dmesg and does not use logrotate but savelog instead [07:36] /app/desktop/gnome/interface [07:36] ManDay: oh good [07:36] phlak_user, more or less :-/ [07:36] Its annoyingly inconsistent [07:37] what? [07:37] x1m: pl state your problem [07:37] !ask | x1m [07:37] x1m: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:37] !details | xlm [07:37] xlm: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [07:39] ManDay: you can set the verbosity in /etc/init/dmesg.conf in the dmesg line with -n option [07:39] phlak_user, before I do so I would like to find out what is the point of kern.log vs. dmesg.log vs. messages [07:39] I don't see in how far they are different/why 3 logs are needed for kernel log [07:41] I have a somewhat silly question. top shows my memory usage to be ~38% of 4GB right now. The most memory intensive application, according to top, is Xorg at 2.9%, and everything else is consuming <.5%. How could I possibly be consuming 38% of my memory right now? I have almost nothing running on my computer right now. [07:41] epkugelmass: disk cache. [07:41] ManDay: sorry, havent had the time to think on this.. maybe someone else can take that [07:41] caching [07:41] phlak_user, i found out [07:41] phlak_user, thanks [07:41] epkugelmass: isnt X running? [07:42] linux: pl share with us [07:42] epkugelmass: do 'free' and see how much is caches [07:42] phlak_user, its pretty simple wanna have a try [07:42] cached [07:42] ok [07:42] not found : [07:42] http://ppa.launchpad.net/user/ppa/ppa-name/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz [07:42] ???? [07:42] in software center [07:42] Dr_Willis, so that's the cached thing on the Swap line of top? [07:42] sweb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:42] phlak_user, see this work for u http://zzer.wordpress.com/2009/03/28/ubuntu-debian-linux-minihowto-howto-set-put-an-animated-background-wallpaper-with-a-video-mpg-avi-gif-flash-etc-using-xwinwrap-mplayer-and-gnash/ [07:43] epkugelmass: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [07:43] linux: yes that uses xwinwrap and you said you didnt want that [07:44] why am I getting a 403 when the directory I'm serving from is chmod-ed to 755? (Apache) [07:44] phlak_user, i wanna .gif to be played on my background [07:44] i have a problem to add http://ppa.launchpad.net/ in my software center [07:44] yet other parts of the server run fine [07:44] how can fix it ? [07:45] paddy_melon: Are the files readable by www-data? [07:45] Flannel, the user? [07:45] phlak_user, u did not mention that [07:45] or what? [07:45] Dr_Willis, so according to the website you gave me, I'm still using 1.5GB/4 for something I can't determine [07:45] paddy_melon: Right [07:45] 10.4 64 bit live crashing within minutes of loading, system is an nforce 680i LT from XFX and a stock 8800GTS 320Mb G80 GPU, no overlclocking done. I am a linux n00b. [07:45] umm... how do I change that, Flannel? I've only got FTP [07:45] linux --> this is what i said linux: did you try with xwinwrap [07:45] on the second line of 'free', I see used being 1.5 GB [07:45] paddy_melon: What are the permissions on the files themselves? [07:46] oh right! chmod is not recursive, One second Flannel [07:46] How can I disable as many logs as possible and only keep messages? [07:46] how can i fix my ppa configuration for software center [07:47] phlak_user, have u tried to play gif i un bg not serene saver ,sorry i thought it is only for screen saver not for gif i tried for screen saver not in gof [07:47] Hello [07:47] ManDay: if its disk space you're trying to save, you could move /var/log to /tmp (this is done on systems that run off CF cards) so that on every reboot its deleted [07:47] I am back [07:48] linux: never mind; just so long as it works for you :) [07:48] so anyone knows how to fix the [07:48] flash problem_ [07:48] Kiff, I ran free--Under 'used', on the second line, discounting buffers/cache, I'm still burning 1.5GB of mem on seemingly nothing! [07:49] phlak_user, that would be an option. How would I move it to /tmp ? [07:49] just link it? [07:49] i mean mount [07:49] erm [07:49] no link [07:49] ManDay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:49] phlak_user, u tried out to play .gif in ur bg its not working [07:49] ManDay: move it to /tmp and link to /var/log [07:50] linux: never tried gif [07:50] how do i talk to ubuntu developers [07:50] ok [07:50] or report bugs in 10.04 [07:50] !bug [07:50] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [07:50] Does the use of Adium themes on Pidgin increase memory consumption? It takes more than 100 MB memory even when I disable them. [07:50] phlak_user, ok, but before I do that I'd like to wait maybe someone has a more conventional option [07:51] ManDay: ok; you could always reduce verbosity in /etc/dmesg.conf [07:51] Anyone knows how disable most of the logs? Do they all go through syslogd or any other way to disable them centrally? [07:51] what are the must have programs for someone new to *nix? [07:52] phlak_user, dmesg is the least thing im worried about. i think the only thing i really want is dmesg ;) [07:52] Flyingwatermelon: a new installation of Ubuntu 10.04 has almost everything you want [07:52] Kiff, Dr_Willis [07:52] I cant beleive I cant watch a video in normal speeds with flash :( [07:52] phlak_user, how can you tell what version I have now? [07:52] what do i do here.. noob and i just fixed an issue with software center and now i rebooted and the power button on the top right of the screen is .... how do i take a screen shot and show some one [07:53] Flyingwatermelon: I cant; you could by typing lsb_release -a in a terminal window [07:53] phlak_user, what do I type to upgrade? [07:53] it shows a cut off chat bubble and part of my name... cant discribe correctly [07:53] tristan3199: pressing the PrtSc button takes a screenshot; paste it in imagebin [07:54] Erick_Alcala, try reinstalling flash [07:54] tristan3199: thats probably the pidgin/gwibber notification [07:54] if a modem is detected by sudo lshw -class modem does that mean the modem driver is installed and working? [07:54] wildbat I reinstalled Ubuntu!! :S [07:54] Flyingwatermelon: sudo apt-get upgrade [07:54] it is related to that phlak [07:54] well, got the internet sharing over wifi done with dhcp3 and firestarter [07:54] Moviemaker1: not really; [07:55] now how do i go about securing this setup?

[07:57] man I allready followed basic instructions [07:57] even that webpage [07:57] phlak_user: thanks, i have already used firestarter to allow connections only from a certain ip address range. the problem is, this is also the ip address range from which the dhcp server dishes out ips, so whoever sees this connection on their scanner and tries to connect will get to use my internet by default [07:57] hi anyone here know any application which can change folder timestamp ? [07:57] and also googled [07:57] the show desktop and power off notification areas are messed up [07:57] other way I would not be here :( [07:58] show desktop works at least..

[07:58] but at least I can get the old box to shutdown properly [07:59] is it safe to hold the power button or am i going to lose info? [07:59] tristan3199: looks like two instances of the notification; you could right click on one and say remove from panel [07:59] ciao come faccio a d accedere alla lista server [07:59] intok: Hmm. my 8800gtsxxx works very well here. [07:59] took both away [07:59] now what [08:00] the clock occupies the top right now [08:00] tristan3199: if you can get to a terminal you can use the shutdown command. [08:00] hi everyboddy.

[08:14] ok [08:14] mount: mounting /dev failed: no such device.... what is it mounting? [08:14] edmond: oh I see, then you will have to find an alternative internet source temporary. [08:14] anyone know of a simpler program than dvd::rip for extracting episodes from a video dvd and making them into avi files [08:14] why didnt 9.10 have an issue? [08:14] Aren't the directories in /var/log necessary because some logging programs will not create them if they not exist and will instead fail to log? [08:14] thanks man...but for now, that is not possible.... [08:15] tristan3199: if it is a non-critical device you could comment it out in /etc/fstab; i had this error when i had my 500 GB external HDD connected when installation was going on and it complained everytime it booted [08:15] phlak_user : "touch -mt 201005301000 /test" only modified until 10:00 , is there a way to modified until 10:00:20 second ? [08:15] anyone know of a simpler program than dvd::rip for extracting episodes from a video dvd and making them into avi files [08:15] linux: Did you try this guide? http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/ [08:15] linux: This one worked for me [08:15] brand0n: try handbrake [08:16] ^ anyone? please? [08:16] ubuntunewbie: -t STAMP use [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss] instead of current time [08:16] whatchu talkin bout willis [08:16] thanks Dr_Willis [08:16] how do i know which device? it says mount: mounting /dev failed: no such device for like 20 seconds then it has an error i dont have time to read because it just flickers... then starts booting... pretty annoying 20 seconds tho [08:16] . [08:16] rocket16, i need to work .gif [08:17] is there a way to record my boot? [08:17] yea, point a camera at it and stand still [08:17] tristan3199: like DrWillis said, if it says just /dev/ and not any partition, there is a deeper issue like [08:17] lol brandon [08:17] brand0n: Handbrake, dvd::rip and AcidRip are good [08:17] rocket16, thanks i tried that it worked for me but i wanna use .gif [08:18] phlak_user : thanks it works ! sorry didn't really read through the unix page [08:18] phlak_user : so unix really doesn't have creation time like window ? [08:18] whats the diff between unix and linux... unix is for servers? [08:19] phlak_user, it says it will take 4 hours to upgrade, am I safe to close my computer screen? it might go into hybernate mode? should I change this [08:19] tristan39: No, UNIX is the commercial OS, from which the UNIX family started. Linux is a free Clone of UNIX. [08:20] tristan3199: technicaly they are 2 difffent OS's - :) Linux is UNIX Like. :) [08:20] linux: Well, you can set it up using E17 WM, which has .gif wallpapers [08:20] Linux is not Unix. [08:20] Flyingwatermelon: sure you can leave it (i left it overnight) [08:20] is unix an upgrade? [08:20] tristan3199: its a completey differnt OS [08:20] phlak_user, I want to close the screen though [08:20] labtop [08:21] Flyingwatermelon: dont close the lid [08:21] how can I change the settings so it won't sleep? phlak_user [08:21] should i try it or is unix and laptop not a good idea [08:21] Unix was made by Bell Labs originally, right? Isn't it more of a specification these days than an actual OS? [08:21] ok where i get E17 WM [08:21] tristan3199: since you dont even know what it is.. I suggest you learn some linux first [08:21] phlak_user, Will the screen go dark? [08:21] rocket16, [08:21] Flyingwatermelon: after a while yes [08:21] i can't sleep with the light on lol [08:22] set a black wallpaper? [08:22] im a quick learner... not scared to erase my hard drive to learn more [08:22] e17 has repositories on their website if you look for it. I'd just google e17 repository lucid, if you're using Lucid Lynx. [08:22] linux: Here is the installation-guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20216 [08:22] !manual | tristan3199 [08:22] tristan3199: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [08:22] ok thnx [08:22] Flyingwatermelon, Why don't you check your settings and disable all screensavers, sleep mode or hibernation? [08:22] Flyingwatermelon: some laptops have an option Fn+F7 to turn off display [08:22] lol ubottu [08:22] sorry [08:22] im passed that [08:23] tristan3199: you just replied back to the channel robot. :) [08:24] why did it pick me to way that to [08:24] I have the url you need to put in Software Sources for e17 in Lucid, if anyone wants it outright. [08:24] tristan3199, You don't want to run unix. It's not an average joe's OS. If you think it's difficult getting certain things to work in ubuntu, probably the most widely used linux distribution, imagine what it would be like in unix [08:24] tristan3199: if you want to learn.. then start learning I guess.. No idea what you want tolearn exactly [08:25] i just lost the sound on my ubuntu 10.04, how can i restart it without restart the laptop [08:25] just want to find the right os for me [08:25] Linux is not Unix, but I'm not aware of anything Unix can do that Linux can't. [08:25] W7 is slow as shit [08:25] linux is fun [08:25] tristan3199: dozens of linux and other os's on Disrtowatch web site you can try out. [08:25] learning the kde thing now... cant get it online yet [08:25] tristan3199: it all depends on your needs. [08:26] i restarted alsa service but no sound [08:26] i want my laptop to play left4dead2 and quake ect... [08:26] khussein78 seems to have a legitimate issue outside of general DE stuff we're talking about right now. [08:26] movies and torrents.... [08:27] tristan3199: ubuntu basically has all that covered. [08:27] khussein78: pulseaudio should be the one controlling sound [08:27] hey all [08:27] bawww:hi [08:27] ill keep ubuntu for sure... was thinking of running unix in VM to see if i like it.. [08:28] It's true. Thank goodness we have Wine. It's kinda' crazy to think they've been working on it for 15 years out of the goodness of their hearts. [08:28] later in life i spose [08:28] !ot [08:28] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:28] anyone play l4d2 here? [08:28] tristan3199: if you want games/wine - you proberly dont want unix. [08:28] You can always toy around with FreeBSD or PCBSD, tristian3199. [08:28] tristan3199: with the same desktop - the os's will basically look the same. [08:28] i'm trying to get grub2 recognize my Windows XP partition on Lucid, but update-grub isn't working. Is there anyway I can manually add the entry? [08:29] any recommendations of editors for web development? [08:29] bawww: update-grub2 [08:29] Kompozer is what I use, primarily. It's popular, but certainly not the only option for web-editing/development. [08:29] thomas_: eclipse is used by many people [08:30] phlak_user: thanks [08:30] You could even use OpenOffice to create basic webpages, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything advanced. [08:30] you know what the problem seems to be with Windows 7 eating up XP's boot loader [08:31] many thanks people [08:31] :-) [08:31] phlak_user: is there anyway i can separate XP from Window 7? [08:31] like by adding a manual entry... ? [08:32] ok.. so a question about my grub... my W7 was installed first and my Windows grub loads first with the option for windows7 or ubuntu.... Grub 2 asks what version of ubuntu... can i make the first grub load ubuntu as default instead of secondary [08:32] bawww: you can tweak the files in /etc/grub.d/ and add your own endtirs. [08:33] Dr_Willis: is that the 40_custom file? [08:33] tristan3199: theres a program in the repos called 'startupmanager' that lets you pick what grub entry is the default [08:33] where do i find repos [08:33] bawww: thats one way. but I would think grub2 is suspposed to see both os's and add an entry for both [08:33] seahorse says it integrates with nautilus but i dont seem to see it anywhere in nautilus. any idea? [08:33] !repos | tristan3199 [08:33] tristan3199: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [08:33] * Dr_Willis wonders if that ubuntu manual covers repositories.. or is that in the advanced manual. [08:34] in terminal [08:35] i'm having an issue with sed in ubuntu 10.04 with sed 4.2.1. The following command errors out when it shouldn't : echo '[restart]' | sed -n '/\[restart\]/p' [08:35] I'm having a bit of an issue with a new wireless dongle- it's supposedly supported by p54usb, which requires a firmware installation (not available in hardware drivers), and since I use 64-bit, I can't use ndiswrapper for it. However, it's supposedly working for some, I just can't get the firmware extraction to work. Says I have no permission even with sudo. [08:35] Dr_Willis: thanks for the tip :) [08:35] hey fellas m a noob in ubuntu... [08:35] i need a help... [08:35] sm1 up for it... [08:36] !ask | [08:36] !manual | sharu [08:36] : 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. :-) [08:36] What's the issue, sharu? [08:36] sharu: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [08:36] Dr_Willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/add-applications/C/adding-repos.html [08:36] sharu:what is y problem? [08:36] i need to install wireless driver for ubuntu 10.04. [08:37] does sm1 knw...??? [08:37] sharu: systeme=>administration==>hardware driver [08:37] Is it possible to convert a dm-crypt LUKS root partion to btrfs? [08:37] Okay, first you'll want to plug your computer into an ethernet port so that you can download the driver. [08:37] plug in temporary wired network... [08:37] then systeme=>administration==>hardware driver [08:37] Then update, to be safe, and go to System/Administration/Hardware Drivers. [08:37] yeah, what murderslastcrow said ;) [08:37] nthng is cmng there dude... [08:38] sharu: or juste in the shell try lspci and download the driver [08:38] Sometimes you have to run Update Manager before it will list your drivers in Hardware Drivers. [08:38] i did dat... [08:38] is there a way to set the system to automount NTFS partitions? [08:38] I find it much easier to use a wired connection first for wireless. [08:38] CaptainTrek: add them to /etc/fstab [08:38] CaptainTrek: yes. One way install/run the ntfs-config tool.. other way.. edit fstab as needed [08:38] also first thing try the network thingy (make sure the wireless is turned on, most lappies have a switch to dissable it) and it may already be working .. 100% of the laptops I've installed recently needed no extra drivers to get wireless going [08:39] sharu, are you on a laptop with an integrated wireless card, or are you using a USB-enabled wireless adapter? [08:39] i already installed d updates... [08:39] sharu: what make/model is your laptop [08:39] it 's a wireless broadband [08:39] acer aspire 4736z [08:40] sharu: not wifi? [08:40] plz help sm1... [08:40] no... [08:40] sharu: can you provide some more details on the "Wireless Broadband"? [08:40] I believe that computer has an Atheros card. [08:40] Sharu* [08:40] yup..it has an atheros card... [08:41] phlak_user, hi succeeded making ,gif play but it is plaving only once and stop [08:41] This means it should automatically be loaded, not needing to be installed with Hardware Drivers- that's usually for Broadcom cards. [08:41] sharu: are you trying to get your Wi-Fi working or some other form of Wireless Broadband? [08:41] has anyone tried to install GNUSTEP and set up a decent working environment for objc on ubuntu? I was trying to install it and there's a bug regarding Gorm.app [08:41] linux: you may need to enable looping somewhere [08:41] no, i jus need to activate wireless connection in ubuntu [08:41] So you might need to just right click the network manager in the upper right of your screen and enable wireless, or check your laptop for a wifi switch or light and make sure it's on. [08:43] phlak_user, what loop set in this mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 YOUR.gif [08:43] whats the difference between "apt-get upgrade" and "aptitude safe-upgrade"?

[08:45] sharu: can you see any networks when you click on Network Manager? [08:45] where do i get network manager [08:46] sharu: sudo apt-get install network-manager (But it is installed by default) [08:46] how to set loop to infinity [08:46] sharu: top right corner of screen [08:46] linux: mplayer -loop 0 means infinity [08:47] hello, can I give my sudo-ed commands an environment variable setting automatically? [08:47] but i plays only one time [08:47] linux: can you try it separately with mplayer first? [08:47] kind of like sudo env myvar=myval command, but without having to use env [08:47] phlak_user, xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 /home/vikas/Pictures/Photos/matrix.gif [08:48] linux: try without the xwinwrap and only mplayer [08:48] ko [08:49] linux: if its the matrix animation, there is a glmatrix screensaver that you can use instead of the gif [08:49] linux: xwinwrap -ni -argb -fs -s -st -sp -nf -b -- /usr/lib/xscreensaver/glmatrix -window-id WID [08:49] ya i know but i have blue matrix [08:49] lot of work for just a wallpaper... :) [08:50] it has good animation [08:50] Colloguy: some of the options to sudo make it use the root users configs/settings instead of the users settings. but im not sure if that would help in your case [08:51] phlak_user, it is not playing at all [08:51] linux: with only mplayer or glmatrix? [08:51] should NTFS partitions automount already? [08:51] Dr_Willis: I'll check that out, thanks. [08:51] CaptainTrek: if they were present during installation yes [08:51] phlak_user: even with ntfsutils and the FUZE packages for NTFS? [08:52] phlak_user: where can I change the system policies regarding automount? [08:52] phlak_user, mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 /home/vikas/Pictures/Photos/matrix.gif [08:52] i just got my favorite game to run in wine [08:52] linux: there you go; till this works, dont even try with xwinwrap [08:53] how can i tell my system to automount external media? [08:53] how would I go about auto-starting a raid array created using palimpsest? [08:53] Is anyone here experienced in solving some relatively obscure wireless adapter issues? There's a driver I need to use outside of ndiswrapper, since it won't work on my x64 desktop. I have a forum post for easy reading if anyone has a clue, and it would be greatly appreciated if you have any valuable input.

[08:55] phlak_user, wanna show output [08:55] CaptainTrek: ntfs-config tool has options to allow it for ntfs/vfat also [08:55] linux: pastebin it [08:55] Dr_Willis: its not mounting or seeing ANY media except for the filesystem [08:55] it used to do it [08:55] CaptainTrek: look at 'sudo fdisk -l' output. if that dosent show the media. then theres bigger issues [08:56] * phlak_user is outta here bye [08:56] Dr_Willis: gparted sees the media === eric is now known as Guest991 [08:56] how do i add an applet i closed back to the top bar [08:57] tristan3199: right click , add to panel -> add it back [08:57] i closed the one that had my log out option... with my name in it... [08:57] Dr_Willis: and fdisk sees the media [08:57] !resetpanels [08:57] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [08:57] CaptainTrek: then you should be able to either make a fstab entry for it. or use ntfs-config [08:58] ntfs-config doesnt see them either [08:58] Dr_Willis: ^ [08:58] CaptainTrek: and they are NTFS filesystems?

[08:59] murderslastcrow: or just buy an iDongle [08:59] !uuid [08:59] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [08:59] and where's fstab? [08:59] !fstab [08:59] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:59] Ah, they have those? Maybe I should've found that out earlier.

You can configure it by installing "firestarter" for example [09:10] i have a slow internet connection...i am downloading something using torrent & apt-get.

[09:17] well i am new to linux i am quite experinced in windows7 [09:17] Semperfi30, grub is possible to fix and tweak with a grub boot disc [09:18] @Twosheds: I just want to be able to update all the codecs and universes and stuff but it won't let me because it says I don't have appropriate permissions. [09:18] Semperfi30, Also, unless you have some special installation, you can always read the windows drive and extract vital info [09:18] mplayer died y is that [09:18] Semperfi30, You always need the root password, if you don't know it, find out what it is asap [09:18] Exiting... (End of file) [09:18] mplayer died, exit status 0 [09:19] Semperfi30: but of coursel, you need the "administrator"'s password [09:19] Well I haven't used Ubuntu because I haven't been able to modify it so, right now it's pretty much always been a new installation. [09:19] linux: mplayer reached the end of the file, and successfully exited. [09:19] Semperfi30: he should have given you the pass [09:19] you can usually fdisk your drive... with all your info in your usb... or reinstall and all your files go into the annoying windows.old folder... and it gives you a windows7 grub... then install linux and you will get grub 2 [09:19] So if there is some detailed way of going about uninstalling and then re-installing it without screwing crap up on my windows 7 partition [09:19] Semperfi30: can you boot into single user mode? [09:19] then you wont need to worry bout what he did [09:19] Semperfi30: yes, there is [09:20] Semperfi30: while in grub, do you have options or is grub also password protected? [09:20] Semperfi30: and specifically, can you change the boot options? [09:20] FireCrotch, but if i wanna replay the same file is there any command or attributes ,options [09:21] @athlion: To be honest I don't know much about Grub other than that it's a boot loader and it decides what OS fires up first and allows selection if you so desire. [09:21] Semperfi30: this should be done by pressing 'e' while in grub's selection [09:21] Semperfi30: yes, you don't need to [09:21] athlion: listen to me [09:21] Mkay [09:21] Semperfi30: when you are presented with the menu, ubuntu and win7 [09:21] Semperfi30: is there anything ELSE you cn do apart from selecting oe of them? [09:22] I'm not sure I think i've been able to get into a set up menu before in the past [09:22] athlion... can i make ubuntu default there instead of W7 [09:22] tristan3199: of course you can [09:22] linux: you want the same file to play in a loop? mplayer -loop 0 filename [09:23] @Tristan: whichever OS you boot into each time it makes that the default each time after the countdown, unless you pick otherwise. [09:23] Right? [09:23] startupmanager - Grub, Usplash and Splash screen configuration [09:23] Semperfi30: its configurable :) you can set it to rember the last if you wanted [09:23] i mean... it counts down with W7 on top of ubuntu... selecting W7 unless i push down first [09:23] FireCrotch, i did that not working [09:24] @Dr_Willis: I think the dude made it that way for me then [09:24] Semperfi30: the solution to your problem is this: [09:24] xwinwrap -ni -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID mplayer -nosound -loop 0 -fixed-vo -wid 0 /home/vikas/Pictures/Photos/matrix.gif [09:24] Semperfi30: very possible [09:24] FireCrotch, [09:24] tristan3199: that startupmanager tool lets you pick what one to use by default. [09:24] @Dr_Willis: Which makes things pretty convenient, I like the Grub loader a hell of alot better than what was there before. I guess windows boot manager [09:24] Semperfi30: you have to find a way to edit grub's boot parameters (which can be done within grub - look for available options) and edit the boot command to contain "init=/bin/bash" [09:25] tristan3199: thats weird. normally windows is the LAST items here. Unless your /etc/grub.d is tweaked a bit [09:25] @athlion: And what will this do? [09:25] Semperfi30: then, when it presents you with a prompt, you have to remount / as read-write with the command: mount / -o remount,rw [09:26] Semperfi30: and then, change the password for your user by issuing: passwd username [09:26] where username is, of course, your username [09:26] ok..... i have a windows grub... i can choose W7 or ubuntu... if i choose nothing... it counts down and loads W7.... but if i push down enter.. it loads grub2... asking what veersion i want to load of ubuntu [09:26] @Athlion: And this will work even if I don't know the administrator password? [09:27] @Athlion: is there a way I can see a list of usernames registered in the system so I make sure I'm typing the right username? [09:27] Semperfi30: yes, when you pass init=/bin/bash it doesn't ask a pass, it just drops into root [09:27] hey guys! after the updagrade to 10.04 mounting has changed. before i would mount an hdd and it would ask for my root pass and mount. now it go ahead and mounts with no password but the name of the drive has an added underline to the end of it. [09:27] Semperfi30: yes: cat /etc/passwd [09:28] K, I'm back with a much simpler question than 'make my wireless usb adapter work with your magical brain'. Where is the firmware folder located (or supposed to be located) in Lucid for stuff like wireless firmware, because my device keeps requesting it in dmesg output when I already have it in /usr/local/lib/firmware. [09:28] Semperfi30: there would be about 35 users, one of which is you! (ubuntu sets uid 1000, so there would be a 1000 next to your username) [09:28] codnik: theres an extra /media/SOMEDIRNAME that dident get cleaned out. so it added a _ to get a unique name [09:28] Semperfi30: id command will tell you [09:28] athlion: I type "cat /etc/passwd" in the terminal? Or at the Grub? [09:28] With the same name as provided by the dmesg output. [09:29] you type it after you alter the boot command in grub and you boot the system with the "init=/bin/bash" parameter. [09:29] Semperfi30: it will drop you to a command prompt [09:29] how would i go about making ubuntu the default in w7 Grub that loads first [09:29] jeez now I gotta write all your instructions out by hand [09:29] I wish I had ubuntu set up on a VM...would I be able to do all of this without switching from windows 7 if it was in a VM? [09:30] yes [09:30] Semperfi30: but it's no big deal, really [09:30] Semperfi30: wait a minute [09:30] athlion: thats my next step once I get all this sorted out [09:30] do it semperfi... i have nt in ubuntu... and ubuntu in W7 [09:31] Dr_Willis: oy... i went into nautilus as root and erased the empty drive folders and it mounts fine now. thanks for the tip, hadn't thought of that :) [09:31] is there an irc network for bittorrent? [09:31] *channel [09:31] athlion: whats up? You said wait a minute? hahaha [09:31] Semperfi30: i'm searching for a guide [09:32] athlion: ok [09:32] how come ubuntu thinks my disk is full before it accually is... it has serious errors i have to use Windows to delete stuff to trick ubuntu back into running [09:32] deostroll: I imagine it would be.... #bittorrent [09:32] <_Anthony> deostroll: #bittorrent [09:32] Would there be anything dangerous about placing a firmware package in several folders, just because I'm sick of trying to find out which one it is? XD [09:32] codnik: you may want to learn to do such tasks from a terminal as root.. running nautilus as root can be dangerous [09:32] Semperfi30: maybe I can find one that is very detailed and provides step-by-step (keypress-by-keypress) instructions [09:32] murderslastcrow: proberly not. :) [09:33] athlion: If I can just erase the Ubuntu partition and start over, that would be easiest...Maybe...I'm not sure. Or if I can just get one in a VM environment which would be even better. I just don't want to mess up the partition tables. Because the repair guy had to recover them. [09:33] Oh, the clutter. I'm going to feel so guilty. [09:33] ok... so i have one partition with everything.. is that a bad idea?????????????/ [09:33] Dr_Willis: that would be just removing the folders using terminal? i just kinda thought nautilus would be faster. [09:34] Question: I have a device mounted via fstab as /dev/sdb1 /media/terabyte defaults 0 0. I want to make a folder '/media/terabyte/shared' sharable and accessible across the network. I am able to share the entire drive via the smb.conf usering xam's guide located here http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 however I do not wish the entire drive accessed. Someone mentioned symbolic links and sharing only that but I'm not sure how [09:34] to do this. Catch: I'm on ubuntu server so no GUI but can navigate my around the command line. Any takers? [09:34] drake: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:34] Dr_Willis: anyway, after i kill the window am i not safe? [09:34] Semperfi30: well, if you are reasonably careful and just re-install linux on the same partition as before, nothing will get messed up. But there really is no need to do this. The thing I'm telling you requires ony 1 minute! [09:34] Sorry floodbot that wasn't a flood rather it was a very long question that took two lines. :) [09:34] codnik: if you rember.. and if you dont accidently do somthing :) [09:35] Sweet- it worked! [09:35] athlion: I'm aware. But bad luck seems to plague me with computers. Something goes wrong, I read something wrong, or it just doesn't go the way it's supposed to :/ [09:35] codnik: its best to learn to do things from the terminal in any case [09:35] Semperfi30: come on, now :-) [09:35] Thank you, Dr. Willis, for giving me the tenacity to use my common sense. Lmao. [09:35] Semperfi30: i'll get you a guide and you'll be set up in a matter of minutes [09:35] athlion: I need a mini athlion that I can put in my pocket and pull you out whenver I have questions. [09:35] xD [09:35] whenever* [09:35] Semperfi30: lol!!! hehehe!! [09:36] Dr_Willis: never underestimate the power of humans to fail, eh? [09:36] is it a bad idea to run Windows and ubuntu together.. my ubuntu only allows so much space before it claims its full but accually not... so i store everyting in /host [09:36] You know like a couple years ago they had that dancing monkey on your desktop sorta like the Microsoft Word animated buddies. [09:36] tristan3199: Who installed your system? whats /host anyway? [09:37] Dr_Willis: thanks for the help. i'm off to bed. [09:37] farewell guys [09:37] the ubuntu logo and the fonts for ctrl,alt,F1 get too big after I installed the Proprietary Nvidia drivers. The logo gets way too big and ugly. Is this a bug? [09:37] athlion: you are from greece!?! [09:37] Semperfi30: yup! [09:37] I think the flood bot blocked my question so I'll shorten it and repost it. [09:37] I hear Greece has been having a lot of issues. Have you been affected? [09:38] if i open a file manager its the host folder... and for some reason it doesnt fill up my linux... i dont know why but it has a cap.... i beleve from my wubi install [09:38] Question: I have a device mounted via fstab as /dev/sdb1 /media/terabyte defaults 0 0. I want to make a folder '/media/terabyte/shared' sharable and accessible across the network. I am able to share the entire drive via the smb.conf usering xam's guide located here http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 however I do not wish the entire drive accessed. Someone mentioned symbolic links and sharing only that but I'm not sure how [09:38] if i store in my documents it loads up at 4 GB and locks up... [09:39] The catch is i'm using ubuntu server, no gui [09:39] tristan3199: I dont use wubi at all.. i dont reccomend using wubi. [09:39] i dont fully understand wubi except i had it on my iso... [09:39] installed it in windows [09:39] Semperfi30: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [09:40] Semperfi30: scroll down where it says [09:40] athlion: I'm using 9.04 so i don't think Grub 2 is installed [09:40] so will those instructions be accurate? [09:40] Semperfi30: "Editing Menus During Boot" [09:40] continued by installling ubuntu itself... next thing i know i have a duel boot system [09:40] Semperfi30: Oooooh!!! [09:40] tristan3199: You should look into doing a normal install sometime. [09:40] Semperfi30: I thought you were using ubuntu 10.04 [09:40] ok [09:40] No [09:40] I told you [09:40] i haven't been able to update or anything [09:40] i power up and it asks ubuntu or windows [09:40] becuase I don't have appropriate permissions [09:40] SeI didn't catch it :-) [09:40] when i try to [09:40] isnt that as normal as i want it? [09:41] tristan3199: No.. its installed INSIDE windows. [09:41] tristan3199: thats not how most people install ubuntu. [09:41] !wubi | tristan3199 [09:41] its not inside windows... [09:41] tristan3199: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [09:42] Semperfi30: look, if you have 9.04 it is a bit of a bad idea to upgrade and the upgrade again to get to 10.04 [09:42] but it can be done [09:42] tristan3199: wubi runs from a file on the windows partition. it isntaleld via a tool that makes it appear in the add/remove programs listings. thats 'inside windows' - Unless you bootted from the cd and did a normal install. [09:42] its a duel boot [09:42] hello !!!!!! [09:42] tristan3199: then you are not using WUBI. [09:42] [09:42] it options a full install [09:42] Semperfi30: but, as far as the password goes, we can fix that in no time [09:42] athlion: Why is it a bad idea to upgrade...Isn't that what you're supposed to do... [09:42] tristan3199: wubi does a boot menu. and you boot to either one. but it does NOT have its own partitions. theres no /host/ or other things like that. [09:42] Semperfi30: yes, it is [09:42] 10.04 has all the latest fixes and stuff [09:43] i got a question (how to enable RFMON) ????? [09:43] hello killermask [09:43] what did i do [09:43] am i doomed? [09:43] Semperfi30: but it usually doesn't go veeeeeery smoothly [09:43] How come? [09:43] Is 10.04 not as good as it should be? [09:43] Semperfi30: No, no, 10.04 is very good [09:43] tristan3199: If from within windows - you poped in the cd. and followed the auto started isntaller.. then you are usign WUBI. thats a bit more limited then a normal install [09:43] why is it so hard to upgrade then? [09:43] Isn't it the same as upgrading from any other verison [09:44] hay man , do u got an idea about how to enable the RFMON ????? [09:44] Semperfi30: well, you see, the developers can't forsee everything you might do with your old installation [09:45] i used a usb... in windows... did a wubi install... then it asked to install or run as trial.. not exact words... but i picked install.. now i have a grub 2 if i chose ubunto duduring startup [09:45] Semperfi30: 10.04 is LTS, and so it might take a bit longer than to upgrade, as most Systems are rewritten. Also, a Clean installation is always better. [09:45] Semperfi30: so, there is a fine line between upgrading the system and bringing it to the "default" state of the new one and keeping your old settings [09:45] I don't have any settings [09:45] I can't do anything because I don't have permissions [09:45] basically it's never been used [09:45] the installation that is [09:45] Semperfi30: well, the installer doesn't know that :-) [09:46] So then erase the partition and install 10.04 fresh [09:46] would be best then? [09:46] Semperfi30: yes, way better === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [09:46] how to enable RFMON ??? [09:46] but you can try with upgrading first [09:47] I'd rather go with the safe way then to have to go about doing it in a way that coule possible give me problems down the road. [09:47] Semperfi30: worst thing that can happen is to break your ubuntu installation in which case, you just reinstall :-) [09:47] * Dr_Willis wonders what RFMON even is [09:47] I just want the latest version [09:47] killermask, Sorry, I have no idea. I only deal with ubuntu server non gui. For desktop usege I use mint and everything works out of the box so I never had to enable anything. [09:47] killermask, depends on the chipset [09:47] with administrator permissions [09:47] Semperfi30: how come you dont have admin rights now? [09:47] on grub loader so I can use it and update stuff and do normal ubuntu operations [09:47] Semperfi30: so, your first objective is: change the user's password [09:47] Semperfi30: Yes. A new fresh clean install is always better. [09:47] Dr_Willis, radio frequency monitoring, only applies to wireless chipsets that are supported [09:48] Semperfi30: do this (write it down) [09:48] eth1 802.11 [09:48] Noooo changing the password won't do anything because all that will give me is the ability to upgrade to 10.04 from 9.04 which you said is a hassle [09:48] Semperfi30: in the screen where you choose which operating system to boot, press 'e' [09:48] killermask, pastebin your lspci -nnk output [09:48] eth1 802.11 [09:48] Semperfi30: it isn't always a hassle [09:48] killermask, that's not what I requested [09:48] Well when I try to download codecs and stuff [09:48] Semperfi30: there is a good chance that it will go just fine. But it is not guaranteed [09:48] or what ?? [09:49] stuff thats like a 100 kb's or a few megabytes in size it would take hours to download on a 10 meg down conneciton...that on windows would take a couple of seconds... [09:49] Semperfi30: so, you might have to reinstall - as a last resort [09:49] Question: I have a device mounted via fstab as /dev/sdb1 /media/terabyte defaults 0 0. I want to make a folder '/media/terabyte/shared' sharable and accessible across the network. I am able to share the entire drive via the smb.conf usering xam's guide located here http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 however I do not wish the entire drive accessed. Someone mentioned symbolic links and sharing only that but I'm not sure how [09:49] i did,int understand your mean @!!!! [09:49] killermask, open up the terminal, type in "lspci -nnk" (without quotes) copy and paste the output.. open up your favourite web browser, navigate to pastebin.com and paste the output in there, hit submit and paste me the new link from the address bar [09:49] seperfi30: i just upgraded and i would suggest fresh install [09:50] Sooo upgrading from within 9.04 could take me FOREVER [09:50] i had about 6 things i had to fix so far [09:50] How to set the user photo in login window in Xubuntu 10.04? [09:50] Semperfi30: upgrading would download some 600mb of stuff.. [09:50] Semperfi30, I would suggest always install from scratch, always [09:50] but im new to ubuntu and was able to do it with a few hours [09:50] Which would take FOREVER because for some reason Ubuntu likes to throttle my internet connection to a retarded level [09:50] I agree with Twoshedsjackson from scratch is always so much easier. [09:50] apt-get upgrade [09:51] ???????? [09:51] Semperfi30: for all you know a clean install might fix that. [09:51] Only when I download or upgrade [09:51] not on firefox [09:51] or websites etc [09:51] so I'm getting disk I/O errors loading evolution... [09:51] is there a way to rebuild those db's? [09:51] Semperfi30: sounds like youmay need to try some different ubuntu mirrors [09:51] (evolution:5061): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Could not setup local store/folder: disk I/O error and (evolution:5061): camel-WARNING **: something went wrong terribly during db creation [09:52] Semperfi30, That sounds really strange ... download the latest image using windows then, burn it, and install [09:52] use torrents to download it [09:52] or USB it [09:52] There is no throttling of network resources in ubuntu that I'm aware of. Ubuntu doesn't even have an inbount 10 connection limit like M$ windows does [09:52] Ok well I always have issues deciding which partition to install to. I don't know what SDA or whatever the abbreviations it uses are [09:52] etc [09:52] I've only ever worked with Gpartition [09:52] Semperfi30: sorr [09:52] and I never understood it [09:52] i used a usb... and i think wubi guess it could have been a live usb [09:52] Semperfi30: this probably means that the server you are downloading from is very slow [09:52] http://pastebin.com/7c8H6k7d [09:52] Semperfi30, It's really easy to figure out if you know what kind of drives you have installed [09:53] but it was in windows [09:53] Semperfi30, It says total space, free space etc, so it's straight forward [09:53] Semperfi30: but to change that, you need that password :-) [09:53] @athlion: Yeah cause my wifi card is fine [09:53] killermask, that driver does not support rfmon mode [09:53] Semperfi30: of course it is! [09:53] why does my diskmanager say i have lots of room and ubuntu say its full [09:53] @athlion: I think I want to go a different route [09:53] please help [09:54] athlion: I just want to do a fresh install soooo [09:54] how much space do I need to burn it onto a blank disk [09:54] if I need a dvd then I can't do it [09:54] tristan3199: what 'disk manager' are you talking about? [09:54] Sempron: you need an empty CD [09:54] all i have is CD-R [09:54] i'm trying to crop a .FLV file with Avidemux but it doesn't support FLV with H.264/AVC Video, does anyone know how i can remedy this? [09:54] Semperfi30: that's exactly what you need [09:54] Semperfi30: ubuntu uses cd's by default [09:54] oh my god !!!! === e01_ is now known as e01 [09:55] Right but willl I have to use TWO cd's ? [09:55] Semperfi30: or a bootable flash drife is handy also. [09:55] killermask, you can thank broadcrap for that [09:55] Semperfi30: it fits on 1 cd. [09:55] Semperfi30: why two? Ubuntu is just ONE cd. [09:55] !install [09:55] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [09:55] well depending on the space available on standard blank cd's [09:55] there might not be enough [09:55] you never know [09:55] Semperfi30: if you got an old cd thats that old smaller size..then you are out of luck [09:55] Semperfi30: Do you have 700MB CDs (80 minutes) or 640MB CDs? [09:55] or use a flash drive.. they install faster also [09:56] Let me look [09:56] I have a flashdrive [09:56] I just need an ISO burning application right ? [09:56] and you won't have burn errors, because there are none [09:56] Semperfi30: hm, what? Most blank cd's are 700MB which is 100% fine. If you have written even one tiny file on the cd, you can't use it for ubuntu [09:56] if you're copying it onto flash drive you need unetbootin not a ISO burning application [09:56] Semperfi30: use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive. its a handy tool. [09:57] http://www.pendrivelinux.com has a very nice iso to flash drive utility [09:57] Yeah that reminds me, if I do that I will be able to saaay plug it into a library computer go into the live portion and browse the internet? [09:57] is there any trick to do it ?? [09:57] * Semperfi30 goes and downloads unetbootin [09:58] Semperfi30: if the library computer is setup to beet from usb, yes [09:58] killermask, yes there is an alternative yet longer trick into getting it to work, that is to use b43 driver instead of wl [09:58] Semperfi30: you have to BOOT from the flash drive.. i doubt if the library will want you to do that [09:58] Semperfi30: ehm, beet = boot [09:58] killermask, search for "b43; bcm4312; ubuntu" and you'll find a very long guide on how to go about doing it [09:59] thnx lokin for it wait [10:00] oops [10:00] I got disconnected [10:00] killermask, I'm not going to guide you through it, mainly because I don't have that crappy chipset and furthermore I wouldn't be spending time getting it to work when I can simply swap out for a supported chipset or purchase USB dongle which has a supported chipset [10:00] ffmpeg = win. [10:00] are you guys still here? [10:00] no :) [10:00] yes [10:01] Oh [10:01] Mmmm'kay (Southpark) [10:01] ok i have a stack of blank cd's [10:01] checking them out [10:01] they are Memorex [10:02] Are they Pink? the pink ones work best... [10:02] :) [10:02] killermask, ping [10:02] recordable.40X.700MB.80min [10:02] The pink and invisible ones :-) [10:02] is what it says [10:02] Mines are silver xD [10:02] Mine*... [10:02] Semperfi30: they 'll do just fine [10:03] Ok so I download the program [10:03] and it will put it on the CD [10:03] ???? wt ,, sorry but am new linux user thats why? [10:03] hahaha I quit ^ [10:03] Semperfi40: what program? [10:03] UNetbootin [10:03] like you guys said [10:04] ???? wt ,, sorry but am new linux user thats why? [10:04] Semperfi40: if you are going the CD-way, you need just the .iso of ubuntu and a burning application, like nero [10:04] uhoh [10:04] this is for USB's hahaha [10:04] Maybe the usb route would be easier [10:04] <|corpse|> would it be ok to ask a general computer question? [10:04] hey all. i need help. i was installing office 2007, but it was broken and i can't uninstall them through wine. so, what can i do? [10:04] killermask, I've made a mistake.. grave one.. you shouldn't be using wl, but should be using b43.. that is a genuine bcm4312 chipset not bcm4315 (which is lp/phy) [10:04] |corpse|: you're in the right spot [10:05] !bcm43xx | killermask [10:05] killermask: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [10:06] <|corpse|> Semperfi40: i just got home and one of my computers will not except my network password. i can really not thinkg of anything that would cuase that [10:06] arinda you should be able to access the files office install put on your hard drive by going to ~/.wine/drive_c/program files/ms office or something similar [10:06] killermask, follow the guide on b43, don't follow the guide on wl and make sure you blacklist wl [10:06] Uh oh guys [10:06] I think I lost my windows 7 installation cd's :/ [10:06] <|corpse|> Semperfi40: still got your unbuntu cd? [10:06] and I can't find my usb drive so I'm gonna have to go the CD route [10:06] What would be the best program to burn the ISO to [10:06] the cd with [10:07] Semperfi40: a free one? [10:07] yeah a free one [10:07] of course haha [10:07] drake, i wanna uninstall/delete them on my computer. so can i delete them manually and then reinstall them again [10:07] !burn [10:07] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [10:07] <|corpse|> Semperfi40: brasero works for me [10:07] CDBurner XP is a good one. [10:07] Semperfi40: for example http://cdburnerxp.se/ [10:07] I think you're referring to a Windows-based on? [10:07] one* [10:08] i found this one b43-fwcutter [10:08] im trying to compile a program, but im stuck at the ./autogen.sh script, which returns this when i try to execute it : bash: ./autogen.sh: Permission denied [10:08] sould i use it [10:08] Yep that'll work [10:08] i already tried chmodding it, using sudo, etc [10:08] hi. I am running UNR but want to change to a regular ubuntu interface. Am I able to do this without formatting? [10:08] doesnt work [10:08] using ubuntu 10.04 [10:08] killermask, no on the truth side of thing, broadcom isn't very linux friendly, they aren't open enough to let others easily develop support on their devices, especially wireless chipsets. Hence they've earnt the nickname broadcrap and users who own broadcom wireless chipsets are usually frowned upon because of their impartial involvement in flying broadcom flag [10:09] Ok so now once I get everything burned etc [10:09] Will I be able to do everything necessary to install 10.04 from within windows 7 only having to restart once installation is complete? [10:09] i found this on the website guide that u give me [10:09] jaapz: run it as sudo [10:10] killermask, yeah you'll need that and to cut out the firmware from the proprietary driver from openwrt and to make sure the firmwares are sitting in the right place. Then you unload wl and modprobe b43.. once working you can blacklist wl or remove it (preferably) [10:10] <|corpse|> my main pc that has been connected to my network for a few months on 10.04 just suddenly lost connectiong and now tells me my network pass is incorrect. but my other computers are still connected just fine. anyone know what could do this? [10:10] CaptainTrek, already tried that, doesnt work [10:10] Semperfi40: you will have to restart and boot from the cd [10:10] have you tried running as su? [10:10] Semperfi40: you BOOT the cd. and do the install from teh booted cd.. Not from within windows. Unless you want to do a 'wubi type' install [10:10] Semperfi40: with wubi? [10:10] how is it possible to check if build-essential installed on the system? [10:10] CaptainTrek, sudo: unable to execute ./autogen.sh: Permission denied [10:10] Moviemaker1: dpkg -l | grep build-essential [10:10] |corpse|: You need to make sure that you don't have MAC address protection set-up or something like that. ANd check your router settings. [10:10] jaapz: try sudo su, and then run [10:11] Moviemaker1: Oh, wait. Or apt-cache policy build-essential [10:11] Munce, already tried that, didnt work [10:11] anybody can help me? please! [10:11] !ask | arinda [10:11] arinda: 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. :-) [10:11] err...Wubi? Same as using the CD right? Just from within windows I take it? [10:11] holy shit [10:11] i didnt install build-essential [10:11] thats idiotic [10:11] <|corpse|> Semperfi40: yeah, thing is it worked fine when i went to work this morning, now just that one pc (out of 4) gets incorrect authentication key [10:11] Flannel: so i just enter "apt-cache policy build-essential" ? [10:11] arinda: please state your problem first :-) [10:12] |corpse|: Have you tried resetting your router, etc. === Votan|off is now known as Votan [10:12] Semperfi40: You do a "wubi" install IN windows,, or you boot the cd and do a 'normal' install to its own partitions. [10:12] Semperfi40: I never reccomend using wubi. [10:12] Moviemaker1: yeah, and at the top it'll tell you whcih version (if any) is installed [10:12] psycho_oreos, i don't ask to ask. my question is above. [10:12] Oh with Wubi you don't get to pick patitions [10:12] partitions* [10:12] Semperfi40: no, it's not the same, instead of creating a partition it makes a file on the windows partition and boots into that one from bootloader [10:12] Wubi has a lot of disadvantages, but it's great for a quick trial run. [10:12] Flannel: thanks [10:13] I did clean install of Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64 and SSH refuses connections until I do "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart". This problem didn't exist back in 9.10 x64 installation on the same machine. [10:13] Oh alright [10:13] Thats probably bad for troubleshooting or anything that may happen down the road [10:13] arinda, can't help if you're not going to tell us the problem, we're not mind readers [10:13] No speed issues with the CD, and near-native speed despite being on NTFS in Windows without hibernation and the whole media sharing thing. [10:13] Only use Wubi if you're a noob trying to see what Ubuntu is. Otherwise, use GParted. [10:13] <|corpse|> Semperfi40: yeah that would be a good first step. i reset the one pc but still would get denied. ill reset the router and come back in [10:13] Hm- I set up my ssh server the other day and I didn't need to restart it. [10:14] |corpse|: make sure you wait 30 seconds [10:14] rautamiekka: are you certain it's running in the first place [10:14] ? [10:14] |where are you all from to have so much knowledge to help people [10:14] also make sure you reset your internet connection source directly as well [10:14] i use wubi,is it as secure as installing it in it's own partition? [10:14] rautamiekka: start ssh with -v to see what's going on [10:14] We just use Ubuntu/Linux and look a little deeper than the average user at times. It may seem complicated, but many of the things we talk about are not that hard to grasp after all. [10:15] athlion: Shouldn't the connection attempt simply timeout if the SSH Server isn't running ? [10:15] Ok ok guys sorry for all the beatin' round the bush I just have to make sure I'm doing everything right. I hate screwing up and having to RE-INSTALL EVERYTHING >.> [10:15] murder!!!! [10:15] murderslastcrow: no, no, no. Tell them we are geniouses, with IQs of 300+.... Yeah, we are the overlords! Bow before us! :-) mwahahahahah!!!! [10:15] lol [10:15] re [10:16] rautamiekka: no, if the port isn't open, the connection is refused [10:16] rautamiekka: by the kernel [10:16] Btw no one told me what "LTS" stands for [10:16] Long Term Support. [10:16] Ohh [10:16] !lys [10:16] !lts | Semperfi40 [10:16] Semperfi40: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [10:16] MURDER! === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [10:16] Oh... [10:16] jvizzle: Please stop that. [10:16] jvizzle: stop it please [10:16] Has there not normally been support in the past? [10:17] i'm sorry [10:17] athlion: Ah, okey. Just rebooted and checking is the SSH Server running. [10:17] Semperfi40: Regular releases are supported for 18 months. LTS releases are supported for three years on the desktop, and five on the server. [10:17] why are there bots yelling at me tonite. [10:17] Soo this isn't a regular release? It's a special release? But it is the most UP TO DATE verison of Ubuntu? They just decided to make it an LTS release this time? [10:18] Or is it sort of like Microsoft and their 4 year release timeline [10:18] Semperfi40: correct [10:18] yes, yes, and its complicated [10:18] Semperfi40: Right. It's a regular release that has a longer support cycle [10:18] how do I sync my music in Rythmbox to my iphone? [10:18] !iphone | Ginbun2 [10:18] Ginbun2: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [10:19] So from a scale from 1 to 10 10 being the greatest and 1 being the smallest, how big of an improvement/step up is 10.04 from 9.04? [10:19] Semperfi40: try the live-cd and find out [10:19] iceberg, I heard that lucid supports iphone out of the box [10:19] Semperfi40: Ubuntu gets a new release every half a year at fixed dates, no matter how stable it is or how many bugs it has etc. (afaik) [10:19] but I can not find the sync button [10:19] Semperfi40: you can't quantify those things, you know [10:19] I see. [10:20] Ginbun2: dont know, luckily i am not using apple-stuff [10:20] I thought 10.04 was like had a bunch of NEW things added onto it that previous versions didn't have thats all I meant [10:20] Are they going to release something that can read over 4g ram? [10:20] Semperfi40: yes, there are many improvements [10:20] iceberg, found it. it is just drag and drop [10:20] sort of like [10:20] what windows 7 was to vista [10:20] jvizzle: every amd64 version [10:21] is it that kind of release? [10:21] Semperfi40: the most noticeable of which, ultrafast boot times (mine boots in about 3-4 secs on my ssd) [10:21] iceroot: has it released yet? [10:21] jvizzle: of course [10:21] :S You have an SSD they are so expensive >< [10:21] jvizzle: for every ubuntu-version there is also an amd64 iso [10:21] iceroot: i didn't see it [10:21] !download | jvizzle [10:21] jvizzle: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Lucid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [10:21] Semperfi40: no they are not, I have just 30gb [10:22] Oh well i suppose with Ubuntu you don't need anything HUGE, windows is another story [10:22] iceroot; can it go over the kernal i have now? [10:22] iceroot: or do i have to erase everything? [10:22] jvizzle: if you have i386 iinstalled you need to reinstall the whole system to use amd64 [10:23] hahaha it's already almost 5:30am and I havne't been to sleep yet, and now this will take an hour I wish I had started downloading it forever ago [10:23] iceroot: how much ram does linux use if im just running some local servers and two broadcasts? [10:23] Semperfi40: you have a support question? [10:24] iceroot: i have a stick of dd3 just hanging out [10:24] iceroot: Umm others have been helping me :) [10:24] jvizzle: what are local servers? [10:24] Hmm [10:24] I wonder if there is a bittorrent download for this [10:24] would go much faster [10:24] !torrents | Semperfi40 [10:24] Semperfi40: Lucid can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/lucid/desktop/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/lucid/server/ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [10:25] iceroot: i have 5 people on it right now just practicing... 1 out in san diego and a few in cleveland holding all the data [10:25] rofl... [10:25] Archtecture [10:25] I'm running an AMD [10:25] do I need to download the AMD version? [10:25] AMD :P [10:25] jvizzle: i mean what is running on it? else we cant anser the question if you need amd64 [10:25] Well guys, thanks for the light-hearted tech conversation. I'm off to hit the sack. [10:25] Semperfi40: safest best is the 32 bit i686 version [10:25] OMG I got it! woot, I'm so happy now. [10:25] Semperfi40: depends on the exact cpu you got [10:25] Semperfi40: amd64 is running on intel and amd systems with 64bit [10:25] iceroot: my spec on my server? [10:25] Phenom 9500 [10:26] quad core [10:26] Semperfi40: that is an amd64 cpu [10:26] Semperfi40: if its a 64bit cpu. You can use either release. [10:26] hi , i would like a good tutorial on how to install mod_security on ubuntu 9,10 . could you provide me a link? i have tried many but.. [10:26] if you have 4+gb of ram . you want to use the 64bit version also [10:26] I only have 3 gigs of DDR2 at 800mhz [10:26] Semperfi40: just use the 32 bit. It is the safest bet and will present you with fewer problems [10:27] Mkay sooo [10:27] ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso [10:27] yes [10:27] I'm surprised theres only 102 seeds on isohunt for such a widely used OS [10:27] Does 64 bit use all 4 corse i have running? [10:28] jvizzle: that has nothing to do with 64bit [10:28] jvizzle: both 32-bit and 64-bit use all your cores, yes [10:28] Semperfi40: if you are using a 64bit cpu. Youmay as well use 64bit. But whatever you want. [10:28] in #linux [10:28] sorry. I all [10:28] Someone already stated that my cpu wasn't a 64 bit cpu [10:28] :P [10:29] Semperfi40: its an amd64 cpu [10:29] Semperfi40: I thought they said it WAS [10:29] Semperfi40: it still IS. :-) [10:29] iceroot; athlion: i was running a windows server but this i have on my server now never hiccups but doesn't read all my ram installed. [10:29] Oh it is a 64 bit? [10:29] hahahaha [10:29] I thought you guys said it wasn't :P [10:29] iceroot | Semperfi40: that is an amd64 cpu [10:29] Well it won't matter I'm assuming its basically the same as windows 64 bit is used for 4 gigs or more [10:29] Semperfi40, athlion speaks the truth, unless you know exactly why you NEED the 64-bit ubuntu, stick with the 32 bit version [10:30] Twoshedsjackson: if you have the ram sitting in the box its sad... [10:30] Btw I was wrong, there are over 4,000+ seeds for the ubuntu torrent :O at 700 kb/s [10:31] jvizzle, If you ever use that much ram, call me :) [10:31] TwoshedsJackson: why? if you got 64bit cpu why should you install 32bit? even flash has a 64bit version now [10:31] Now at 1mb/s :O [10:31] 12 minutes left [10:31] !ot | Semperfi40 [10:31] Semperfi40: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [10:31] Twoshedsjackson: i used to run vista on a box :( [10:31] Twoshedjackson: leakkkkkkkk [10:31] iceroot? [10:31] jvizzle: you can use more than 4gb ram with 32 bit version of ubuntu, nio problem [10:32] we dont need a 'play by play' Semperfi40 :) [10:32] Semperfi40: we are not interested at the download-speed here :) [10:32] !ot | pallgone [10:32] pallgone, please see my private message [10:32] jvizzle: you just need the PAE kernel [10:32] jvizzle: which is of course available to install from the repositories [10:32] any thoughts on ASUS Eee PC 1201N with some sort of ubuntu? [10:32] Athlion: no wipe? [10:32] You can't really put a smiley after that...It sounds condecending anyway you put it :P ..... jk jk XD [10:33] jvizzle: what do you mean no wipe? [10:33] jvizzle: with pae the system can adress more then 4gb of ram, but only 1.8gb for a process [10:33] Athlion: I finally have my box the way I like it [10:33] Iceroot: I went from 7 to 9.04 and was crushed [10:33] thnx fpr every thing !!! [10:34] What is wrong with empathy? [10:34] iceroot: but then you would need the pae kernel, or is it in the mainline? [10:34] I just lost all non-irc accounts from it. [10:34] just like that... [10:34] Janhouse what are you talking about O.o [10:34] pallgone: the pa kernel is in the repos but not used by default (only server-edition is using pae by default) [10:35] Semperfi40, after restarting my PC I lost all non-irc acounts from empathy config. [10:35] Oh [10:35] why when I run "blkid" i get nothing? [10:35] Nvm... [10:35] duckwars: try a sudo in front of it? [10:35] Dr_Willis: that's why you Dr [10:36] lol [10:36] I wouldn't want him teaching my class :( [10:36] iceroot: it's funny how this lie spread that 32bit only can address 4gb. PAE is around for more than 10 years. we all know who is behind this lie. [10:36] pallgone: its no lie [10:36] pallgone: Is this the same in regards to Windows 32 bit? [10:36] pallgone: steve jobs? [10:37] haallo [10:37] pallgone: a normal 32bit system can adress 4gb of memory-adress-bus (ram + pci-bus (vga and so on)) [10:37] editing my fstab for a usb hard drive, is there anything in paritcular I should put for ? [10:37] athlion, pallgone: Okey, "ps -A | grep ssh" returned nothing and "ps aux | grep ssh" just something like "--color=auto ssh", which means it wasn't running, so how I can make it auto-start on bootup ? [10:38] iceroot: i ask because prior they had 64 available to download. [10:38] iceroot: do you read what I write or just hammer something onto the keys [10:38] jvizzle: yes a real 64bit system can adress more then 4gb ram, with pae you can also adress more then 4gb ram but only 1.8gb for a single process [10:38] rautamiekka: this is weird, let me check [10:39] how can I get my linux kernel version info with terminal? i know its a common command, but I dont rememebr it [10:39] remember* [10:40] how do i search a man page for a string? [10:40] CaptainTrek: uname -r [10:40] -page [10:40] pallgone: you said that it is a lie that 32bit can only adress 4gb ram and i told you that it is not a lie and pae is not a normal 32bit system [10:40] iceroot: it's a lie since PAE exists, got it? [10:40] sohcahtoa: man command uses the 'more' or 'less' command use the / key to start a search [10:40] sohcahtoa: /searchstring [10:40] pallgone: i told you the facts, now st0p it [10:41] Dr_Willis, iceroot: ty [10:41] hey [10:41] what's this "pae" that is at the end of my linux version: 2.6.32-22-generic-pae [10:41] iceroot: is a version that is needed? [10:41] Can someone explain to me why I can't send files on an NTFS filesystem to the trash, even though I can create and delete files? [10:41] iceroot: ok, ciao [10:41] TheMusicGuy: because NTFS doesnt like the linux trash system AFAIK [10:41] xD [10:42] quick easy question, how do i make samba run on start up? [10:42] lol [10:42] corpse: were you previously named |corpse| ? [10:42] TheMusicGuy: theres no .trashcan type setup. :) Ive seen it work on vfat/removeabel media - so im not sure why they dont do it on ntfs also [10:42] killermask, you got it working? [10:42] corpse: it means PAE support is enabled; ie. that your system will work with more than 4GB of RAM. [10:42] Semperfi40: yep [10:42] CaptainTrek: I thought the "linux trash system" was just a directory at the root of the filesystem named ".Trash-0" [10:42] when i use my headphones the sound still come from laptop speakers ? [10:42] corpse: it should do that allready once you install the samba service [10:42] corpse once samba is installed it always runs on startup. [10:42] !bug 321012 [10:42] nice :S [10:42] how can i solve this [10:42] corpse: Give me a sitrep. [10:42] corpse can't google... so anyone will help him [10:43] whoops, that was to CaptainTrek :P [10:43] what was to me? [10:43] ? [10:43] resend? [10:43] CaptainTrek: You want to read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension [10:43] corpse: on your internet situation [10:43] !hello [10:43] CaptainTrek: my previous line that I addressed to corpse [10:43] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [10:43] !bug 321012 [10:43] .. wtf? [10:43] Iceroot: I can't complain because the server that is running has been the smoothest I have ever used [10:44] antivirtel: That's turned off in this channel [10:44] Almost done!!! [10:44] Semperfi40: yeah i fixed that, but when i reboot my server i have to run /etc/init.d/smbd restart before i can connect to it [10:44] rautamiekka: this is really stupid, but can you check that /etc/init.d/ssh is executable ? [10:44] Flannel :S [10:44] Chousuke: ah, got it. I also got what rautamiekka sent me. [10:44] thanks [10:44] No problem :) [10:44] corpse: I just know basic netowrking troubleshooting, when it comes to linux though, I'm limited to the GUI. Athlion though, another story xD [10:45] athlion: "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3899 Mar 8 18:11 /etc/init.d/ssh" [10:45] rautamiekka: yes, it thought as much [10:45] what's the package to allow ssh connections, and where's its config stored? [10:45] !sshd [10:45] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH. For setting up the SSH server, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html . Advanced SSH uses: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced . For SSH client information, see !ssh . Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) [10:46] hey guys, while updating the packages in package manager some pagkages are failing (the ones from freecontrib.org) [10:46] corpse I might suggest removing samba using apt-get or the package manager (if there is one in the gui version of ubuntu) then re-installing it. It sounds like something got pooched. [10:46] any clues? [10:46] adelejjeh: some servers were down i heard. [10:46] adelejjeh: possible dead repo for a while? [10:46] rautamiekka: maybe you stumbled upon this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/583542 [10:46] why when I try to edit my fstab to automount a removable USB hard drive, I restart and it's not mounted where it is suppsoed to be, and then if I manually try to mount it, I get mount: /dev/sdb2 already mounted or /media/MOUNTPOINT busy? [10:46] so its no problem? [10:46] adelejjeh can you ping freecontrib.org? [10:47] do i need both openssh-server and -client? [10:47] adelejjeh: After you do those said before me, run "sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade" [10:47] CaptainTrek: You need -server to allow you to connect to the computer you install it on. You need -client to connect to a computer which has -server. [10:47] captaintrek you only need openssh-server to run the server and connect to it from remote location (i think) but you need the client of course on the remote computer [10:47] duckwars: You made a directory called MOUNTPOINT for it to mount to? [10:47] the ping gave me unknown host [10:48] Dr_Willis: for the sake of my own privacy I'm telling you guys it's called that [10:48] drake: gnome-terminal's ssh feature wont let it connect? [10:48] duckwars: with exteranal usb disks the /dev/XXX position can change. thats why the UUID is normally used [10:48] is there an way to list the firmware version of my dvd drive ? [10:48] duckwars: You can even mount based on LABEL or other ID type info not just UUID [10:48] er, the traditional "ssh" command in terminal i meant [10:48] drake: the ping gave me unknown host [10:49] adelejjeh I'm able to ping it from here, sounds like there's something else wrong, I wouldn't think it's a problem with apt. Have you reset your router/computer recently? [10:49] Dr_Willis: I did use the UUID which I found from sudo blkid... the UUID is for the whole driving, ie, sdb2's UUID is the same as sdb1's right? [10:49] duckwars: sdb1 is not the same uuid as sdb2 [10:49] heyho [10:49] CaptainTrek you lost me when you said gnome >< I don't use any gui's. :( [10:49] could it be possible that the server is down in my region? [10:49] athlion: O, M, F, G ! Seriously, Ubuntu is now having that kind of bug ? Man. [10:49] rautamiekka: you can check if sshd should get started like that: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/05/how-to-start-stop-services-in-ubuntu-lucid-automatically/ [10:49] cuz its giving me the sme thing on a different computers [10:49] captaintrek or at least not with ubuntu anyway [10:49] drake: i meant the terminal [10:50] anybody know how to configure sound in 10.xx ubuntu ? xD [10:50] drake: my terminal default is gnome-terminal, but I meant from CLI [10:50] Dr_Willis: okay, well I used sdb2's (the correct one) should I umount before I use blkid to get the proper UUID or something? [10:50] drake: could it be possible that the server is down in my region? cuz its giving me the sme thing on a different computers [10:51] rautamiekka: yes, well, 10.04 was no easy ride for me too... I have already stumbled upon numerous bugs to the point where I wondered why do I keep coming back.... ;-) [10:51] duckwars: just editing the fstab wont force things to get unmounted. [10:51] duckwars: unless you reboot. [10:51] Ah-ha! You CAN have a trash can for NTFS partitions. :) You just need to create a folder in the root of the filesystem named ".Trash-", where is the numeric ID for the user who wants a trash can. (Most often its 1000) [10:51] adelejjeh possable. I'm not sure what region you're in but if there's a bottle neck somewhere between you and that server and there's not other routes, then yeah, that could be it. If that's the case it will probably start working fine in a few hours or so. [10:51] is there a way to customize the ubuntu startup logo? [10:51] duckwars: unmount everything, and try 'sudo mount -a' to see what it automounts where [10:51] drake: ok thanx [10:52] Dr_Willis: Well, I was curious that if I ran blkid WITHOUT umounting I'd get the wrong UUID.... when I reboot I still don't get the automount I want [10:52] Scuttle: yes. Theres a few diffrent ones in the repos.. but making your own is a bit harder. [10:52] Dr_Willis: I will try this [10:52] ah... [10:52] blkid should alwyas give teh same info reguardless [10:52] would like to have one that matches my htpc-setup (xbmc) [10:52] what would I search for to find the logos? [10:53] Scuttle: not sure about that, but there's an easy way to disable it completely so you can see what's going on [10:53] nah, don't want to disable it [10:53] Dr_Willis: when I try to umount it says a lot of devices are busy, and then when I try to mount -a it says "mount: /dev/sdb2 already mounted or /media/MOUNTPOINT busy" [10:53] duckwars: that makes sence. :) if its not unmounting because its busy.. well its busy [10:54] close all windows/terminals accessing the device [10:54] hi [10:54] hello all! Does somebody expecting slow internet speed with 10.04? I have intel 3945 wifi. Any solution on this? thanks in advance [10:54] CaptainTrek I'm still trying to wrap my mind around what you were saying. The only ssh client I use is putty on my laptop which is linux mint and putty on my gaming computer which is winblows. The OpenSSH-Server I have installed on my ubuntu file server. I installed that simply by typing apt-get install openssh-server (or something similar). I did not have to have a client on my server to connect to it, and I didn't have to have openssh-s [10:54] erver on any of the other computers that I administer the server from. Not sure if that makes any sense or not. [10:54] UUID=(bunch of numbers here) /media/MOUNTPOINT ext3 auto 0 2 [10:54] wow..that was long [10:54] is exactly what I have in fstab [10:55] has someone had nfs-kernel-server crashing ( and bringing dow the network subsystem) when transfering large files? [10:55] ndrewpj: no, the internet speed should be just fine. If it is not, then you have a problem, probably the drivers for your chipset are problematic or you have poor reception? [10:55] duckwars I'm not sure if anyone else is answering you or not (lot's of text going by) do you actually have a directory called /media/MOUNTPOINT and are the chmod permissions correct? [10:56] ken is that ken1 from last night? [10:56] with w7 it is normal but in ubuntu (and in archlinux with kernels >.32) the speed is 4-5 times slower [10:56] drake: I'm just claling it MOUNTPOINT, it's really something else.... what permissions should be on the file before it's mounted to? [10:57] duckwars I think either 755 or 777 depending on who you want to be able to access it. My public share drive is 777 [10:57] ndrewpj: transfer rate ot responsiveness? [10:57] transfer rate [10:58] ndrewpj: well, your chipset looks like it did have speed problems in the past. let me check if there exists a solution... [10:58] duckwars also note, me personally I don't know diddly about UUID stuff...I just go by physical devices. Example /dev/sda1 [10:58] I have 6Mbit spot - it is ok o win, but in all recent kernels >.32 I have rate at 120Kbytes/sec [10:58] drake: maybe I should give that a try and see if it works, least then I know it's a UUID thing [10:59] ndrewpj: it's possible to have issues like that with some drivers/cards, you can try to use ndiswrapper and use the windows driver [10:59] Hi guys i'm fixing someones machine - dodgy HDD, i've gotten to a busybox shell via ubuntu recovery mode, except i need to transfer a lot of files over network - either by FTP or windows shares. Anyone know if the recovery mode has access to either? i can't see anything in ~/bin. [10:59] does empathy support conference calls for any of its protocols? [10:59] you think it will work? intel drivers are from the kernel+firmware [10:59] duckwars I don't recomend deleting that line though...Put a comment # in front of it instead. That way if the /dev/whatever doesn't work you can always go back. :) [11:00] I have a backup.img that was created using cat command how do i mount the img ? [11:00] !give ndiswrapper | ndrewpj [11:00] * cori_ gives ndiswrapper a cup [11:00] ok thanks, I'll try it [11:01] seravitae ftp should be available for xfering files in recovery, not sure if you can access window shares in recovery though, never tried [11:01] pallgone: I set "ssh" to all runlevels with sysv-rc-conf but still no change: connection refused until I "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart" [11:01] ftp would be fine dude, but i can't seem to find a client [11:01] Asad2005: what filesystem was it on? and what device was it? /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 ? or similer. [11:01] ndrewpj: got the link? [11:01] nothing standard like 'ftp', unless i'm missing something [11:01] nop [11:01] ndrewpj: download the latest windows driver and follow instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs (ndiswrapper) [11:02] Can anyone here help me with installing Aptana studio in Ubuntu please? [11:02] hwat does it mean if a directory is highlighted green? [11:02] seravitae typing ftp from the bash prompt should put you in ftp mode. If not then I'm mistaken and it's not available in recovery mode. Maybe plugging a usb disk in and mounting it? [11:02] Dr_Willis: It was taken for my dreambox receiver it must be ext2 or 3 [11:03] Asad2005: was it a whole DISK image? or a partition image? [11:03] duckwars: That means privileges [11:03] Asad2005: somthing like 'sudo mount -o loop filename MOUNTPOINT' is what you need [11:03] duckwars: chmod -help [11:04] rautamiekka: and sshd is not running? [11:04] duckwars: chmod --help, sorry [11:04] drake, ftp isn't there - but i found tftp tucked away in /usr/bin or something, not in default path, so yay [11:04] :) [11:04] pallgone: That's right, "ps aux | grep ssh" still returns nothing. [11:04] I think I'll open a ticket in LP [11:04] overmind: both do the same thing and give a VERY short list of extensions with no explination [11:04] thank you though for the link [11:04] chmod: illegal option -- - [11:05] athlion: I'm burning my disc now :) [11:05] Semperfi40: cool [11:05] duckwars: Well, you can use "man chmod" [11:05] !chmod [11:05] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:06] rautamiekka: hmm, any errors in daemon.log? [11:06] Dr_Willis: It gives you must specify fs type in the loop command [11:06] Asad2005: so specify it then [11:06] Hey I am Looking for sound juicer and a decent irc program like bitchx [11:06] !loop [11:07] drive35: for text based irc. - checkout weechat [11:07] drive35: whats wrong with bitchx [11:07] drive35: or irssi [11:07] Theres a lot wrong with BitchX :) [11:07] hehe [11:07] Kiff: it's unsupported, for one [11:07] whats wrong with xchat? [11:07] SalmonSam: he said lilke BX. so that implies a text based one. not a gui client [11:07] I will look into it, Dr_WWillis [11:07] i havent used it for 5 years i wouldnt know was just asking :) [11:07] pallgone: Grrr, I meant "ps -A | grep ssh" returns nothing, and "ps aux | grep ssh" returns the same meaningless string as it did. [11:07] meh never used bitchx [11:07] !bitchx [11:07] bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. [11:08] irssi is what I use at school [11:08] SalmonSam I am not too much into GUI [11:08] athlion: I opened a private window with you [11:08] I like txt [11:08] Dr_Willis: if it was ext2 or 3 there is no need to specify it i tried -t ext2 and 3 still giving error wrong fs type [11:08] how do i add root privilige to regular user??? [11:08] Asad2005: thats whyi asked if it was a DISK image. or a partition Image.. If its a image of like /dev/sda - then theres some offset options you may need to give for it to work [11:08] didodo sudo? [11:09] drake: that means should give him my root password [11:09] You guys are awesome i got to go.....but I will be back!!!! [11:09] didodo: ad them to admin group [11:09] kiff: how?? [11:09] Asad2005: This guide sems to cover it -> http://www.andremiller.net/content/mounting-hard-disk-image-including-partitions-using-linux [11:10] Dr_Willis: this is how i created it "cat /dev/mtd/3 > /tmp/backup.img" [11:10] rautamiekka: I'm using 'ps -e' now, on SHIFT less ;) [11:10] rautamiekka: *one [11:10] athlion: I'm gonna go try and install this now I'll bb in a bit [11:10] didodo oh, yeah that might not be a good idea. You got me on that one then. You could probably add him to the root group but I'm not sure that's a good idea at all. If it's someone you dont't want to have the password then you probably don't want them as root. [11:10] didodo: sudo usermod -G admin username [11:10] Asad2005: No idea on mtd stuff. if its a 'whole' disk image. with several partitions thatn you need to use the offset options like that URL mentions [11:11] Asad2005: try 'testdisk whatever.img' to see some info on teh file [11:11] hey, is there a exmaple config for gnome-mplayer config file [11:11] ~/.mplayer/config ? [11:11] i'm using vdpau [11:12] nody: some in /etc/ and in the mplayer docs dir I recall. Or check the mplayer homepage/faqs [11:12] but it lags some a bit [11:12] pallgone: No luck. "ps -e > psoutput0.txt" -> "nano psoutput0.txt" -> CTRL+W -> "ssh" -> NO MATCHES [11:14] rautamiekka: maybe try 'sudo grep -R sshd /var/log/' [11:14] Dr_Willis: thanks anyhow i will ceck that link [11:15] i need a filling for my ~/,mplayer/config file, like mak eit faster or buffering or something corse it lags [11:15] cant find conifg examples in google === fnord is now known as Guest46879 [11:16] Earlier, in Nautilus there was a pencil-like icon which allowed for switching between normal adress and some kind of... well... tree? Where is it now? [11:16] nody: best place to look would be the mplayer homepage and forums and docs/faq [11:17] Dr_Willis: can you give me url plz === Guest46879 is now known as fnordsniff [11:17] nody: type in mplayer in the search box of your browser? It may be mplayer.org [11:18] ok [11:18] but i just need a example config file:D [11:18] ¨/away [11:19] nody: you dident bother to look in the mplayer docs dir? /usr/share/doc/mplayer? [11:19] pallgone: Now we're seeing interesting errors. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/b6CBdms4 [11:19] ah nevermind, it seems it can only be changed with gconf now :/ [11:20] nody: or /etc/mplayer ? both have examples/settin files here. [11:20] Hi this is bizarre! I downloaded ubuntu netbook remix and installed it to a usb - cannot login first time! What is the default username/password [11:21] jimbo2010: ive seen that issue also. user is ubuntu, password is blank [11:21] Dr_Willis: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-77329.html [11:21] Dr_Willis: that's what i was looking for [11:21] dr_willis - just tried it - no luck [11:22] jimbo2010: you could have a bad burn/install/file. go to the console see ifyou can set a password. [11:22] ok Dr_willis [11:23] does wubi run on top of windows or is it stand alone? [11:23] no dr_willis I have no access to console must be a bad iso? [11:23] slimjimflim: It is just like a regular install, except it installs to a file [11:23] slimjimflim: By what I understand, Wubi is an native Window$ software [11:24] , which emulates Ubuntu, or something. [11:24] slimjimflim: it doesn't run on top of windows, the filesystem is just a file on the windows partition that grub loads [11:24] theadmin: but it doesn't partition anything does it? [11:24] slimjimflim: No. === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [11:24] what are the disadvantages? [11:24] if any [11:24] slimjimflim: It's slower and it can't hibernate/suspend [11:25] slimjimflim: the faq on the wubi site lists one, it's also probably slower [11:25] that's what i thought [11:25] slimjimflim: "Hibernation is not supported under Wubi, moreover Wubi filesystem is more vulnerable to hard-reboots (turning off the power) and power outages than a normal filesystem, so try to avoid unplugging the power. An Ubuntu installation to a dedicated partition provides a filesystem that is more robust and can better tolerate such events." [11:26] ok cool [11:26] thanks [11:28] theadmin, jrib: While we're still on the Wubi subject, I'm under the impression that you can't build the Wubi-installed Ubuntu into system ready for serving files and stuff, can you ? Like no network connectivity. [11:28] rautamiekka: I don't see why not [11:29] rautamiekka: It has network o_o why the heck would it not have any? === juju2143 is now known as [J] [11:29] rautamiekka: It has ALL features except for hibernation/suspending [11:29] theadmin: Oh, nice. I just was in that impression. [11:30] hello! can anyone help me - how do i resize the picture in a simple way (without going to GIMP). For example to change pics resolution form 800x600 to 640x468 [11:30] tatie: use mogrify or convert from imagemagik [11:30] f-spot doesn't seem to have this option [11:30] tatie: command line programs... [11:31] rautamiekka: If you can, do a normal install though, much faster. [11:31] how can I manually start the tracker daemon? [11:31] nucc1: Unsure what's the service name, but most likely it'd be something in the likes of "sudo service trackerd start" [11:32] tatie: Does this work for you ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96333 <- but be sure to make duplicates of files before running that. [11:32] tatie: thhe ImageMagick command line tools can do that [11:33] theadmin, unrecognized service. guess i have to reboot :( [11:33] i am trying to install build-essential, but it gives me an error "the following packages have unresolvable dependancies" the packages are libc6-dev and g++ [11:33] any ideas? [11:33] adelejjeh: did you use any repositories not meant for you version of ubuntu in the past? Did you manually install any debs? [11:34] no i am not looking for CLI, but for GUI interface. Such as irfanview in windows that enables you to view and do basic editing of pictures (such as resizing, crop, adding text etc.) GIMP takes too long to load and is not good for viewing and selecting images. [11:34] jrib: i only manually installed crossover [11:34] tatie: irfanview works in wine :) [11:34] tatie: if f-spot can't do it (it probably can), maybe try gthumb [11:34] hi any1 know how to install login theme? [11:34] adelejjeh: run "sudo apt-get update" and verify it still happens please [11:34] zipper: you sure you are not trying to use a GDM 1 theme on the newer gdm2 ? those wont work [11:35] Dr_Willis: is gdm2 themes out yet? [11:35] zipper: theres a few in the repos. but i dont pay much attention to the progress f themes for it [11:35] f-spot imports everythign and then upon exporting it gives a different resolution instead of WYSIWIG change. will try gthumb [11:35] zipper: gdm2 does not support themes directly, you need a third-party tool like ubuntu-tweak [11:35] zipper: theres a tool called 'epidermis' that let you change them also. [11:36] what's wrong with this my fullhd movies are lagging [11:36] Dr_Willis: i wanna change the wallpaper? [11:36] tatie: you could always write a script to do it - and make a nautilus menu for that [11:36] zipper: thats rather trivial. Many tools out can do that. [11:36] zipper: or find the origial file and alter it. :) [11:36] Dr_Willis: where is the original file? [11:36] Lucid 10.04...2 harddrives ..250gb Window xp...80 gb Linux...From the menu when I open 250 gb I see the window programs...What program do I need to install to display those programs [11:36] zipper: 'gdm2setup' can change that [11:37] zipper: its in /usr/share/backgrounds (i think) === oCean_ is now known as doesntwork [11:37] Dr_Willis: i've got this gnome display manager gdm === doesntwork is now known as worksforme === worksforme is now known as oCean_ [11:38] Dr_Willis: are we able to edit gdm stuff there? [11:38] gdm by default uses the /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png it seems [11:38] When I run aptitude install it wants to remove a package with unsatisfied dependencies, but the software works, so I don't want to uninstall it. How can I override it to keep it? [11:38] zipper: just edit that file as root.. and it will change it.. is one way [11:38] zipper: or use one of the MANY 3rd party tools out to select a different image [11:38] oal: what software? Why does it not have the dependency? [11:39] Dr_Willis: i am inside backgrounds but how to alter it? [11:39] jrib: some packages are failing. what could be the problem? [11:39] "groovesharkdesktop.7f9bf17d6d9cb2159c78a6a6ab076ea0b1e0497c.1", or Grooveshark Desktop, a music client something like Spotify. It needs Adobe Air [11:39] adelejjeh: which ones on what repos? [11:39] But Adobe Air is installed [11:39] adelejjeh: pastebin [11:39] zipper: alter it however you want.. copy a different one to that files name.. or load it im a image editor... [11:40] jrib, it says Adobe Air is a virtual package [11:40] Dr_Willis: i meant how do i even set it to a particular wallpaper that i want [11:40] Hmm. Adobe Air is a little special in how it installed i recall. it was sort of weird [11:40] jrib: its in the reload in the synaptic package manager, not in the terminal. i cant paste === schlaftier is now known as schlaftier_ [11:40] Dr_Willis, can I override it somehow? [11:41] zipper: sudo cp yourdogspictgure.png /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png is ONE WAY.. (get the idea?) [11:41] hi [11:41] ouh [11:41] Dr_Willis: okay i will try [11:41] oal: ive not had any issues with it. Most air programs use the air installer/uninstaller. [11:41] Dr_Willis, grooveshark does too, but still this happens [11:41] zipper: or load up an image editor and edit it.. gksudo gimp /usr/share/bacXXXXXXX/whattever.png [11:42] oal: ive only used one AIR app. :) and ive never really tried to Uninstall it. [11:42] I don't want to uninstall and reinstall every time I'm installing another package or upgrading existing ones, Dr_Willis [11:42] #join /ubuntu-ru [11:42] is it possible to set a different gtk theme for pidgin ? [11:42] adelejjeh: then do it in the terminal... [11:42] Dr_Willis: sudo cp space-05.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/space-05.jpg like this right? [11:43] athlion: I'm having some issues [11:43] Semperfi30: yes, [11:43] zipper: that wont change the warty-final-ubuntu.png image... [11:43] Semperfi30: tell me [11:43] CaptainTrek, the translation-en_us as well as the release.gpg, release and sources [11:43] I'm on the live portion right now I was afraid to install because it told me that it was going to resize the partitions and that some of the partitions would be formatted [11:43] zipper: it just copies the file to that backgrounds dir. under the same name ;0 [11:43] Semperfi30: nonono, don't do that! [11:43] I didn't know which partitions were what so I didn't want it to format my windows partition [11:43] Dr_Willis: arggg i am confused [11:44] zipper: cp FILEYOUWANT FILEYOUWANTTOCHANGE [11:44] Semperfi30: what you need to do is to specify yourself that you want ubuntu to be installed ontop of the old one [11:44] Well it said install them side by side and at the bottom it said 10.04 was going to use like 200 gigabytes [11:44] zipper: if this is confuseing.. Youmay want to read up on some linux/shell basics first [11:44] but I changed the size to like 30 gigabytes [11:44] zipper: sudo cp space-05.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.jpg [11:44] Semperfi30: no, you will need to specify yourself the exact location for ubuntu [11:44] Dr_Willis: sudo cp space-05.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png TADA AM I RIGHT? [11:45] it didn't seem like there was a spot for that [11:45] zipper: looks more logical to me. :) [11:45] Semperfi30: i believe there is an option "I will specify the partitions" [11:45] zipper: see if it works [11:45] ow something like that [11:45] it has manually specify [11:45] zipper: and rember CASE is imporntant [11:45] (advanced) [11:45] Dr_Willis: case? [11:45] zipper: LiNuX is a CaSe SeneSetiVe OperATINg SysTEM [11:45] Semperfi30: unfortunately, that is what you will need [11:46] why is it unfortunate [11:46] Dr_Willis: and? [11:46] cause it's complicated? [11:46] Can anyone tell me if I should choose 32-bit or 64-bit? The documentation seems to indicate 64-bit is the way to go but on the download page it says that 64-bit is not recommended for daily use. :s [11:46] zipper: space0-04.jpg is not the same as Space04.jpg so watch out for that. [11:46] Semperfi30: well, because its not "next-next-next-next-done". You will have to choose the location yourself. (It's easy, dont worry) :-) [11:46] Oh one thing I want to be able to play my windows games and stuff on wine [11:46] jan-pieter: 64bit if you plan to have 4 gigs of ram or more, 32bit if you short-term want stuff like flash etc to "just work" [11:46] Semperfi30: no, it's not complicated, it just has one more step [11:46] well idk what dbsa or whatever means [11:47] jan-pieter: not everything will operate in ubuntu in terms of games, even with wine [11:47] zipper: I dont think renaming a jpg to be a .png is that good an idea. but it proberly wont hurt anythign either. [11:47] Dr_Willis: cp: cannot stat `space-05.jpg': No such file or directory [11:47] maybe I can open it up and still talk to you while I do it? [11:47] if I click install 10.04 will it take me out of xchat? [11:47] zipper: you need to be in the proper dir, or use the full path. [11:47] CaptainTrek: I know but does 64-bit affect that [11:47] zipper: cd /usr/share/backgrounds === mark_ is now known as pipes [11:47] jan-pieter: not really, its generally the same either way, 32bit or 64bit [11:48] Wine is Wine [11:48] Dr_Willis: sudo cp space-05.jpg cd /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png [11:48] zipper: sudo cp spaceXXX.jpg waerty-final0buntu.png or somting like that [11:48] jan-pieter: Wine is Wine... it won't be able to handle everything. [11:48] zipper: and what directory are you in right now at the terminal? [11:48] Semperfi30: no, it wont [11:48] Semperfi30: you can do that, yes [11:48] zipper: current working directory - is imporntant when using the commands like that [11:48] ok [11:48] jrib: http://pastebin.com/4Ry984JK that's just the begining its not done yet [11:48] Hi. I recently installed 10.4 on a toshiba laptop. I have no sound through the headphone jack, but DO through the speakers. Can anyone make a suggestion? thanks [11:48] !intelhda | anthony_ [11:48] anthony_: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [11:48] Semperfi30: but keep in mind that i will be leaving in 12 minutes exactly [11:49] athlion: shouldn't be more than 10 minutes I'm guessing [11:49] excluding installation time [11:49] can I set a different, from the default, gtk-theme settings for just a certain app ? [11:49] CaptainTrek: I know it won't be able to handle everything. But if I know It might be able to run 32-bit games on 64-bit linux then I'll choose 64-bit [11:49] Yes... [11:50] Dr_Willis: hmm not working at all [11:50] jan-pieter: as I said, it won't be able to handle MOST games. [11:50] jrib: http://pastebin.com/4Ry984JK that's just the begining its not done yet [11:50] Dr_Willis: keep getting crappy error [11:50] jan-pieter: emphasis on the word "MOST" [11:50] Athlion is there another way I can contact you at a later date ? [11:50] zipper: bash basics.. if you dont give a full path.. then you need to be in the proper directory [11:50] zipper: --> cd /usr/share/backgrounds/; sudo cp space-04.jpg warty-final-ubuntu.png [11:50] Ok [11:50] zipper: makes sence? [11:50] Athlion: I've click specify partitions manually (advanced) [11:50] Semperfi30: you'll probably find me here again soon :-) [11:50] now I click Forward ? [11:50] yes [11:50] clock forward [11:50] Dr_Willis: lemme try it [11:51] erm, click [11:51] zipper: look at the 'logic' behind it. :) its not rocket-surgery [11:51] scanning discks [11:51] Ok seee [11:51] it says [11:51] 360.1 GB [11:51] Semperfi30: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:51] sda1 (ntfs) [11:51] idk what any of the devices are [11:51] Lucid 10.04...2 harddrives ..250gb Window xp...80 gb Linux...From the menu when I open 250 gb I see the window programs...What program do I need to install to display those programs [11:52] Semperfi30: sda1 (ntfs) is where your win7 is, don't touch it [11:52] Semperfi30: you should have some more, though, no? [11:52] zipper: or identical task from any where -> sudo cp /usr/share/backgrounds/space-04.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png [11:52] /dev/sda1 ntfs, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1 ntfs, free space, /dev/sdb5 ext4, /dev/sdb6 swap [11:52] zipper: notice the differance? :) [11:52] CaptainTrek: I am perfectly aware of that. All I want to know is: If the program runs on win on a 32-bit linux. Will it still work on wine if wine runs on a 64-bit linux? [11:52] : gthumb is ok and just became default pci browser. thanks! bye. [11:52] Ok, go for /dev/sdb5 [11:52] jan-pieter: it might, it might not. Don't go 64-bit unless you truly need it. [11:52] and sdb6 the swap [11:52] Dr_Willis: not really kinda lost here i've gotten this thingy kenneth@dimfus:~$ cd /usr/share/backgrounds/; sudo cp space-04.jpg warty-final-ubuntu.png kenneth@dimfus:/usr/share/backgrounds$ [11:52] jan-pieter: ive never had any wine issues onmy 64bit machines. [11:53] Thank for that [11:53] can some one help me out in establishing a lan between 2 laptops using ethernet - both run ubuntu !!! [11:53] zipper: so it worked.. it seems. [11:53] Semperfi30: your setup looks kind of weird [11:53] i am a begineer in ubuntu [11:53] Semperfi30: but anyway, select sdb5, and choose "/" as the mount point, leave ext4 and choose to format it [11:53] Dr_Willis: anything i must do next? or i can just close my terminal? [11:53] I wish I could give you a screenshot I have a bad feeling about this [11:53] Semperfi30: don't worry, i got it [11:53] zipper: look in the directory - see if its changed [11:54] I know this isn't the channel for it, and my apologies but i'm wondering if any C programmers could tell me what sprintf does, because i'm using it in a for loop and its preventing my counter x from incrementing [11:54] Semperfi30: then select sdb6 and choose to use as swap [11:54] zipper: nautilus /usr/share/backgrounds/ [11:54] Dr_Willis: oh yea it works [11:54] sdb6 is already set as swap [11:54] vishwanath: you need a crossover cable. connect the cable. configure the interfaces in networkmanager. [11:54] sdb5 is the one with 9.04 on it cause it has 31.1 gb's [11:54] i remember [11:54] Semperfi30: cool, just set sdb5 as the / [11:54] zipper: now for your homework.. write a script that does that for whatever image you tell it. :) [11:54] and choose to format it [11:55] there is no "/" [11:55] it has a list of things to set it to [11:55] erusul: yes sir, i have a crosscable , i connected them together , but was not able to configure the networkmanager, i dont know how to !!1 [11:55] Semperfi30: well there is if you edit its properties [11:55] can u help me out [11:55] i'm double clicking on it [11:55] yes [11:55] Semperfi30: can't you see a mount point or something like that? [11:55] yes but it's greyed out [11:55] and then above it says [11:56] vishwanath: right click on the network icon on the right upper corner. chopose "Edit connections" go to the wired tab and edit properties [11:56] do not use as partition [11:56] duh? [11:56] what? [11:56] excuse me? [11:56] it says [11:56] Use as: "do not use as partition" [11:56] and then it has a drop down menu [11:56] with journaling file system [11:56] ok, "Use partition" [11:56] fat16 [11:56] fat32 [11:56] Select ext4 [11:56] vishwanath: go to thwe ipv4 settings. set manual configuration. [11:57] ok now the thing at the top [11:57] Semperfi30: ok, what about it? [11:57] hi.. how can i change the size of the pop-down main menu.. length and all? [11:57] I have two harddrives [11:57] one has 360 gigabytes [11:57] the other 600 [11:58] well yes, that figures because we are talking about sdBx and not sdAx [11:58] the one at the top you said was my windows 7 can't be correct because my windows 7 boots into a 600 gigabyte harddrive [11:58] Avasz, I dont think you can [11:58] erusul: yes .. sir , i did all that yesterday .. but still i cound not get it .. i mean i assigned 10.0.0.12 to myself and 10.0.0.14 to the other laptop running mint ... the other laptop could detect a wired connection .. mine couldnot !! dont know why ?? [11:58] when I click on /dev/sdb [11:58] <{g}> Hey People! Under ubuntu 10, where are the trash folders? ls /root/.Trash brings up nothing. [11:59] it has sdb1 (ntfs) 576.1 gb's as the first partition [11:59] linux uses the naming scheme as sd{X}{Y} where X is disk "letter" (a, b, c, d, ...) and Y is the partition (1, 2, 3) [11:59] which means it's my windows 7 in the 600 gb harddrive correct? [11:59] yo yo yo [11:59] GSF1200S, oh.. ok.. theni would better change the theme with bigger menus. [11:59] thus sdb5 means the 5th partition on the 2nd drive [11:59] Semperfi30: well, I don't really know [11:59] which means all of my ubuntu stuff is on my 360 gb drive [11:59] cause I remembered having the guy put windows 7 on a drive by itself [11:59] Semperfi30: look. [12:00] * {g} tries "find / -name *Trash*" [12:00] I just want to make sure i"m not going to overwrite my windows 7 installation thats all [12:00] Semperfi30: sda1 is NTFS, which is a windows file system. This is the first partition of the first drive [12:00] Lucid 10.04...2 harddrives ..250gb Window xp...80 gb Linux...From the menu when I open 250 gb I see the window programs...What program do I need to install to display those programs [12:00] vishwanath: dunno either... checked the conf via « ifconfig » ? [12:00] Semperfi30: sdb1 is also NTFS which is also a windows file system. This is the first partition of the second drive [12:01] That must be my corrupt windows installation because it has an "unknown" for the used column [12:01] {g}, it should be in ~/.local/Trash [12:01] Semperfi30: then sdb5 is ext4, so this is where linux was and this is where you're installing it. Your windows could be on sda1 or sdb1, probably sda1, though [12:01] !trash | {g} [12:01] {g}: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [12:01] <{g}> GSF1200S: i found it in "/root/.local/share/Trash/files/" [12:01] Semperfi30: what do you mean corrupt? [12:02] erusul .. i have not used terminal sir, so i have no idea abt ifconfig in detail ... what am i to check in it ?? what shud i do ?? [12:02] Semperfi30: do you have more than 1 windows installation? [12:02] Well I had a corrupt installation of vista [12:02] {g}: don't work as root regularly [12:02] and I don't think he removed it [12:02] <{g}> guntbert: why not? [12:02] just moved it to another harddrive [12:02] and put everything on the 600 gigabyte one [12:02] vishwanath: check that the card has the configuration you intended. [12:02] Semperfi30: between you and me, it looks as though that guy didn't exactly do a nice job on your disk setup.... [12:02] vishwanath: ifconfig sdhould list all cards with its config [12:02] {g}, thats ROOT's trash folder- the user trash folder is under your home folder/.local/trash [12:02] <{g}> GSF1200S: i am root [12:02] {g}: because the root account is meant for system administration only [12:03] No we talked about everything it's the way we said it would be when we went over everything. It's just NOW doing this makes things a bit complicated [12:03] {g}: we do not support having root user enabled. [12:03] !root [12:03] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:03] <{g}> guntbert: yeah its meant for that. but i use it for every day use :) [12:03] Semperfi30: anyway, just select sdb5, choose ext4 as the filesystem and / as the mount point [12:03] and you are ready to go [12:03] I think I have it down now though. The first partition is my corrupted vista installation everything below that is installed on my 600 gb harddrive [12:03] {g}: we don't support that here - you are on your own then [12:03] erusul : oh .. ok .. understood sir... will try again and see whether it works ... thanks a lot sir !!! bye !! [12:03] {g}: using root to run web browsers and IRC is REALLY dumb [12:03] vishwanath: no problem [12:03] And what about sdb6 [12:04] do I need to make any changes to that [12:04] athlion: oh, and don't forget to select to format sdb5 [12:04] i need someone who uses gnome-mplayer + nvidia + padu and fullhd matroska movies [12:04] Erusual: one last doubt, shud the device be lo or eth0 ?? [12:04] no, no changes to sdb6, just specify to use as swap [12:04] <{g}> actionparsnip: i dont run web browsers as root. i just use a root terminal. [12:04] vishwanath: eth0 is your ethernet card [12:04] what could be the reason that GTK2_RC_FILES=... gedit won't change the default theme for gedit ? [12:04] vishwanath: lo is 5the loopback interface [12:04] Ok [12:04] everything is setup [12:04] ciao [12:04] <{g}> guntbert: who is "we"? i am part of "we" and i DO support being root. [12:04] erusul: what is a loopback interface used for sir ?? [12:05] ok Semperfi30 you are good to go [12:05] I'm hitting forward now we will see what ensues [12:05] what remains now is some questions about your timezone etc, which are relatively easy [12:05] don't hesitate to ask, if you need anything [12:05] actually it asked me that in the beginning :P [12:05] {g}: channel policy [12:05] vishwanath: for programs that want to communicate with othwer programs in the same machine. when you connect to localhost you do it via the lo interface [12:05] Semperfi30: oh, right :-) [12:05] <{g}> oCean_: where is that? [12:05] !noroot | {g} no, you are asking for help -- "we" is the ubuntu support community [12:05] {g} no, you are asking for help -- "we" is the ubuntu support community: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [12:06] erusul : oh ... ok understood .... thanks once again sir , bye !! [12:06] {g}: "we" as the people helping here. [12:06] <{g}> erUSUL: that includes me then [12:06] vishwanath: no problem again. btw no need to call me "sir" ;) [12:06] erUSUL: i'm getting lag on matroska 1080p movies and pdau ? [12:06] paste.ubuntu.com [12:06] oops [12:06] how do I copy and paste stuff [12:06] {g}: thats ok then [12:06] just like normal? [12:06] Semperfi30: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:06] hello [12:07] http://past.ubuntu.com [12:07] umm... [12:07] {g}: if it includes you; then you should know better than use root for everyday use or have it enabled at all. ^.^ [12:07] {g}: using root for your dailies will possibly change ownership to root if you start messing with the files in your users home folder, which ni turn can make the system not log you in [12:08] <{g}> erUSUL: different people, different approaches to life. [12:08] hahah, jesus [12:08] {g}: in short - it's not worth it considering the possible havoc it can cause, which is why Ubuntu advocates a no root policy [12:08] {g}: that's ok; but see !wfm like guntbert said [12:08] !wfm [12:08] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [12:08] Semperfi30: copying from what to what? [12:09] Semperfi30: copy the text, visit the site and paste the text, once submitted you copy the new address bar contents and paste here [12:10] Lucid 10.04...2 harddrives ..250gb Window xp...80 gb Linux...From the menu when I open 250 gb I see the window programs...What program do I need to install to display those programs [12:10] <{g}> erUSUL: i believe in "works for me". i rather look at what successful people do then what the others agree on. === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [12:10] http://past.ubuntu.com [12:10] <{g}> erUSUL: "works for me" works for me so to say. [12:10] I did ran purge pulseaudio to get my Spotify work in Wine, now my spotify works, but my sound on youtube etc doesn't work, can anyone help me fix this problem? [12:10] moes: if the app is portable it will run with wine, if its a normal app (most likely) then it simply won't run [12:11] athlion: do I want to install a boot loader? [12:11] Since I already have GRUB? [12:11] Semperfi30: what version of GRUB do you have, and what are you installing now? [12:11] 10.04 [12:11] and idk the version [12:11] actionparsnip, Thanks [12:12] Semperfi30: it wont hurt to reinstall grub IMO [12:12] Is there anyway to get the clock to update automatically? Everytime i boot into windows xp and then boot back too linux the clock is wrong [12:12] thats all it will do? [12:12] it won't mess up the boot process or anything like that [12:12] boot order [12:12] lungan: you can use NTP to sync the clock with the internet at boot [12:12] Semperfi30: not if GRUB loads as it does now... it might mess with the order a little bit, but everything should still be there [12:12] actionparsnip, How do I do that? [12:12] lungan: "wrong" as in several exact hours off? [12:13] it loads as the main boot loader [12:13] instead of the windows boot manager [12:13] lungan: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/NTP.html [12:13] Semperfi30: just as my system does xD [12:13] and I pick either windows 7 or ubuntu [12:13] rww 5h and 5min wrong [12:13] Semperfi30: it should still do that [12:13] Ok [12:13] Just wanted to make sure [12:13] you can choose to not install though [12:13] what will that do? [12:13] but you might not get it to detect 10.04 if its older [12:13] oh [12:13] lungan: which timezone are you in? [12:13] well better safe than sorry [12:13] mhm [12:14] but [12:14] what partition does it need to install to? [12:14] the boot loader that is [12:14] does it automatically pick the right one? [12:14] Semperfi30: it will figure it out if you're using the GUI isntaller [12:14] Semperfi30: it SHOULD [12:14] I have access to a server via ssh, which is also on a private network with many other servers. at the moment I ssh into that server, then onto the others manually. I think there is a way to configure ssh to automatically handle the forwarding for me - can anyone point me in the right direction (eg so I can do ssh privateserver, and it initiates a connection to the public then onto the private) [12:14] and if it doesn't I'll have a big problem... [12:14] right? [12:14] rww UTC +2hours (summertime) [12:15] rww or CEST if you would like to [12:15] it says /dev/sda [12:15] lungan: you can use that guide so the systems resets the clock each boot from the ubuntu time server [12:15] Semperfi30, forgive my late entry, but what exactly are you trying to do? [12:15] my scrollback doesnt get to the start of your questions.. [12:15] actionparsnip, Yep following it right now, thank you very much [12:15] Semperfi30: in all the GUI installs I've done, its always figured out where to put the boot loader. It should still work. ask around though first as i'm just lucky xD [12:15] lungan: hrm, not what I was thinking, then. try what actionparsnip's saying [12:15] How to repeat a case statement? [12:15] i need someone with nvidia+pdau+(gnome)-mplayer [12:15] lungan: np bro [12:15] i'm at the finall steps of installing 10.04 ontop of 9.04 [12:16] just have to click install [12:16] Semperfi30: then you MUST install the boot loader [12:16] nody: i use the nvidia vdpau ppa for drivers [12:16] Semperfi30: 9.04's version of GRUB won't work with 10.04. you MUST install the newer GRUB bootloader [12:16] no choice then [12:16] mmm'kay [12:16] Semperfi30, what partition is Ubuntu going to be installed on?> [12:16] partition #5 [12:17] SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) as ext4 [12:17] Semperfi30, /dev/sda5? [12:17] whats your current boot partition? [12:17] ahh [12:17] as in which has the flag on it? [12:17] actually [12:17] check with gparted [12:17] thats the partition thats going to be formated [12:17] xD [12:17] along with partition 6 [12:17] the ext4 [12:17] the partition that had 9.04 on it [12:17] Semperfi30, The bootloader should be installed to /dev/sdb then (note no number there) [12:17] everything else is unchecked [12:17] I have two windows loaders as well [12:18] ones on another harddrive [12:18] the other is along side the buntu installations === overmind is now known as overmind_ === overmind_ is now known as overmind [12:18] Semperfi30, You can have grub pick up the windows installs and add them to the grub menu- you should be able to manage them all from 10.04 grub installed to the mbr [12:18] it says [12:18] sda [12:18] not sdb [12:18] typo? [12:18] Semperfi30: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:18] hay guys !!!!!!!!!! [12:19] dev/sda [12:19] You tell it to go to sdb it will default to sda most likely [12:19] It would seem like pallgone is away [12:19] If i understand the conversation. :) [12:19] Create a pastebin with the output from sudo fdisk -l, sudo blkid [12:19] pastebin? [12:19] i git a question ,, am new ubuntu user ,,,and am asking sould download all of updates on the update manager ???? [12:20] I'm running on live atm === vikas_ is now known as linux0 [12:20] not 9.04 === linux0 is now known as vikas [12:20] Semperfi30, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ [12:20] killermask: You want to stay up to date. normally. [12:20] Idk how to use that [12:20] hi all [12:20] it made me make an open id account [12:20] then it just converted the text and then I pasted it here and it looks exactly the same -.-" [12:20] Basically, copy the terminal output and past it in the pastebin [12:20] no, its free [12:21] I know it's free [12:21] thats means i should ??? [12:21] why do I need to do that though? [12:21] Dr_Willis, i an not been able to kill process plz help [12:21] killermask: yes. You want to keep up to date [12:21] Semperfi30: give us the url you got so we can see what you see [12:21] vikas: killall command or 'kill -9 PID' normally works. [12:21] oh [12:21] ok, then never mind. I was just trying to see your partition scheme so I could tell you where to install grub, etc [12:22] and i well got no proplems or system changes ??? [12:22] ya not working [12:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/441709/ [12:22] Does this work? [12:22] i install killer too [12:22] GSF1200S: did that link work? === antonio_ is now known as kabal [12:22] i wanna kill xwinwrap [12:22] killermask: Hmm? I normally have a few updates every week or so. It depends on what you install [12:22] Semperfi30, Well, that tells it what its going to change, but we need to see the partition scheme [12:22] vikas: if you run: ps -ef | grep processname you can the kill by PID. You may need sudo if the process is not owned by you and use -9 like Dr_Willis said if it refuses [12:22] Now I want to know who told the chimpout troll to come to digg? [12:23] how do I show you that [12:23] Semperfi30, sudo fdisk -l && sudo blkid [12:23] ciao [12:23] the asshole is telling me that #ubuntu told him to advertise his racist website on Digg [12:23] run that in a terminal and paste the output in a pastebin === kabal is now known as baraka [12:23] in the terminal? === baraka is now known as baraka84 [12:23] yes [12:23] thnx [12:23] so you did gsf12005? [12:23] why? [12:24] thats not going to show you what I picked in gparted though [12:24] BjornLopez, huh? [12:24] is it? [12:24] BjornLopez: this channel is for ubuntu support only. The channel is logged if you want, but please take the discussion elsewhere: irclogs.ubuntu.com [12:24] ugh now I have to start all over again === antonio_ is now known as baraka [12:24] I hit back on the installer -.-" === baraka is now known as baraka84 [12:24] Semperfi30, No, I just want to see your windows install and the rest of your partitions [12:24] to copy and paste the partition table [12:24] NinoScript: You here? [12:24] the chimpout troll is on Digg saying the #ubuntu told him to advertise his crappy website [12:24] ok I will check the logs [12:25] nvm it kept the changes [12:25] Is it possible to run cron jobs more than once every hour? [12:25] BjornLopez, what did you ask me? [12:25] oal: yeah, the first field is for minutes... [12:25] how can I make a script run as a root user? [12:25] oal: sure, you can run them every second if you wish [12:25] oal: yes. I've found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron to be a useful reference on the syntax [12:25] jrib, but I have 0 in that field, doesn't that mean every hour? [12:26] duckwars: gksudo scriptname if its to run at startup then reference it in /etc/rc.local [12:26] actionparsnip, vikas@vikas-desktop:~$ kill -9 xwinwrap PID [12:26] bash: kill: xwinwrap: arguments must be process or job IDs [12:26] bash: kill: PID: arguments must be process or job IDs [12:26] HERE [12:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/441715/ [12:26] oal: yes. You can have more than 0 there [12:26] oal: e.g.: "*/5 * * * * /home/user/test.pl" is every five minutes [12:26] Does that work? [12:26] !cron > oal [12:26] oal, please see my private message [12:26] still not killing [12:26] I just read this in the ubuntu docs: Software center: "In version 3, we plan to offer commercial software for sale" Why? === gavin_ is now known as Srendi [12:26] Thanks guys [12:26] !ot | Adamantus10 [12:26] Adamantus10: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[12:27] duckwars: if it runs wholly in terminal, yes otherwise use gksudo [12:27] actionparsnip: and what do you mean by "reference" the scripts to /etc/rc.local [12:27] GSF1200S: did that link work? [12:27] Semperfi30, yeah, it works fine- when it asks you about the bootloader, ensure installs to /dev/sdb [12:27] duckwars: thats the general idea behind sudo [12:27] how does the partition setup look? [12:27] duckwars: if its to run at startup you can put scripts to be ran in /etc/rc.local and they will run just before gdm loads [12:27] linux [12:28] But that was about ubuntu [12:28] duckwars: put the name of the script above the exit 0 line [12:28] I think one of the installations is a corrupted windows 7 install [12:28] Adamantus10: this is technical support only.

[12:29] duckwars AHHHHHH, I thought I was supposed to put the actual script lines in there.... no just point to the scripts [12:30] LOL [12:30] duckwars: either is fine, using formed scripts and referencing them there is a bit neater [12:30] did you see what lopez typed out.... [12:30] >.> [12:30] <.< [12:30] duckwars: remember to use an ampersand on the end if the command will run for the duration of the boot or gdm will never run [12:30] GSF1200S: Are you alive? [12:30] Semperfi30: yes, he was removed for it. Best to move on :) [12:30] F'd up part is I think he said above that he was upset about that post [12:31] Semperfi30: leave it alone [12:31] not too smart to post it though [12:31] I'm running 10.04 64bit. cheese freezes when I try to record video. I know the camera works because I use it on skype. any ideas? or any suggestions for another video recording application? [12:31] Haha I've left it alone I just chuckled a bit :P [12:31] GSF1200S: stop it please [12:31] GSF1200S: You never told me what you thought about my partition tables??? [12:32] actionparsnip: this a headless server... do I want gdm to run? [12:32] guntbert: stop what? Im not condoning what he did [12:32] but there is no need to comment it [12:32] and why can't I sudo a script? [12:32] ignore the trolls please [12:32] y is it saying for 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 Not recommended for daily desktop usage [12:32] Semperfi30, Yes i did- they look fine- I just didnt want you to hose your partitions :) [12:32] GSF1200S: stop discussing it - and please mind your language [12:32] duckwars: it's a security measure [12:32] GSF1200S: You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:32] karthik_: where did you read that? [12:33] duckwars: google for setuid script and you'll find lots of information about it.. I think one of the reasons is that a script is to easy to change [12:33] oCean: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [12:33] karthik_: where does it say that? on ubuntu.com? [12:33] karthik_: i use 64bit on my desktop for the last few years. with very little hassles. [12:33] guntbert: I merely stated a fact and stopped at that- I used no swear words, and I wasnt disrespectful of anyone. [12:33] Slart: yes its in Ubuntu's site [12:33] so well leave it at that [12:33] karthik_: and i find encoding of video faster with it. [12:33] karthik_: It's a badly-worded attempt to convey that most users should use 32-bit because of theoretical compatibility problems (that I've never had) and because 32-bit will run on all x86 computers whereas 64-bit won't. [12:34] karthik_: there's a bug open about said wording being bad, I believe [12:34] Semperfi30, I agree :) Looks good man- and even if we have issues, we can chroot into your ubuntu install and fix grub :) [12:34] Y is that mentioned in Ubuntu's main download site itself ? [12:34] shouldnt though [12:34] karthik_: ah, probably because some software (like flash) is not optimized, still lots of us use 64 bit for daily usage [12:34] how can i set up a ftp server? [12:34] karthik_: hmm.. you're right.. it does say that.. how silly. I've run 64bit desktop for two years now.. no problems at all [12:34] guntbert: I am here for technical support. I do not appreciate your condescending attitude. I'd like to know under whose authority you are acting to be rule enforcer of this Channel. If you tell me that then I will happily oblige by your enforcement. [12:35] karthik_: and the amount of ram you have is? if =4gb or over.. you may want to use 64bit.

Any one's facing anyproblem with 64 bit .. [12:35] nody: install windows [12:35] nody: could set a lower nice value to the player [12:35] hi, where can i get linux-headers-2.6.32-18-generic-pae? it's not in the repositories [12:35] jebediah: hardly constructive [12:35] nody: with what player? [12:35] but its effective! [12:36] karthik_: give 64bit a try.. as I said.. I've had no problems running 64bit both on my desktop and my laptop [12:36] Dr_Willis: mine is 4gb ram, core 2 duo, 512 mb ati raedon [12:36] nody: with vdpau is works just fine to play 1080p h264 on an atom ion under linux. [12:36] Semperfi30: its the channel's rule to keep discussions to ubuntu support only - so please adhere to that and don't discuss other topics [12:36] Slart: Sure .. I ll give a try .. [12:36] SwedeMike: getting one of them ions soon, looks sweeeeeeet [12:36] karthik_: with exactly 4gb - i would say go for the 64bit then [12:37] Dr_Willis: Thanks [12:37] Slart : thanks [12:37] karthik_: you're welcome [12:37] I've used WinServer 2008 R2, which is 64-only, and I'm so satisfied with the performance on 4GB RAM. But get Win7 Ultimate x64 instead, this WinServer is a pain to configure. [12:37] nody: lower nice value means more cpu time is given the the process, the default is zero but a nice value of -5 may help [12:37] if i wanna make graphical program to use .gif for bg that what i should do [12:37] vikas: clarify what you are doing. [12:38] vikas: gif? for a background? why? [12:38] actionparsnip: a value of -5 to what? config file? [12:38] vikas is obviously a dumb smelly indian [12:38] jebediah: that's inappropriate for this channel. [12:39] guntbert: I've been here for technical support up until you started to decide what topics are and aren't considered to be of a technical support matter. Of which I must respectfully disagree as I've been on the "technical support" state of mind since I joined this channel. But, I digress. I'm moving on now. Continue pointing out non technical support topics if you wish though. I will go elsewhere with my questions if necessary. [12:39] can someone just kick that Semperfi30 idiot [12:39] nody: look into nice and renice [12:39] hi [12:40] plouffe: even if you disagree with him - stay polite please [12:40] plouffe: leave it to the ops.. no need for name calling [12:40] i used mplayer and xwinwrap to play .gif as my bg now i wanna make a software for this [12:40] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/eGLAPJCU === sloopy is now known as Guest75193 [12:41] vikas: sounds like you got a lot of learning to do.. and a background obession. [12:41] hi, where can i get linux-headers-2.6.32-18-generic-pae? it's not in the repositories or launchpad [12:41] vikas: you basically want to make a script that calls mplayer and xwinwrap as needed? [12:43] Dr_Willis, which script should i know c+ python perl what [12:43] monkey_dust: I think the repositories have moved on to -21 .. not sure if you can get the older package anywhere [12:43] vikas: flip a coin.. learn them all. C++ is not a 'scripting language' also.. [12:43] vikas: python is proberly the easiest to learn [12:43] vikas: you could use bash. [12:44] ok [12:44] thnx all [12:44] vikas: once you learn one language they are all easy to pick up. [12:44] vikas: most people start with C or a variant [12:44] achilles: hmm [12:45] achilles: nice gnome-mplayer file.mkv ? [12:45] histo: as long as you don't go for an insane language like brainfsck or perl [12:45] Python - i would say is proberly the easiest to get 'started' in - and has enough power you wont outgrow it very soon :) [12:45] http://dpaste.com/201040/ [12:45] Python = lots of docs/tutorials/guides :) [12:45] vikas: I guess vala+genie could be a good start, as the code will be c...

Theres proberly a few dozen threads on the topic [13:06] chikatambun: you want to learn to use the 'screen' command so you can reconnect. [13:07] chikatambun: it proberly stopped. [13:07] khussein78: go to menu>preferences>sound and set your output to the head set [13:07] chikatambun: normally all programs you started are stopped - see what Dr_Willis already said :-) [13:07] screen on the remote host [13:07] ? [13:07] screen and the tweaked screen called 'byobu' are very very very handy to learn about for your ssh needs [13:07] i had a the same sound issue but a kernel update solved it. [13:08] chikatambun: yes. [13:08] chikatambun: you could use it locally also if you wanted. [13:08] can you tell me how it work? [13:08] ssh in, run screen [13:08] ok i give it try [13:08] see the 100+ screen tutorials online for details. [13:08] !screen [13:08] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [13:09] !screen [13:09] or use 'byobu' instead of 'screen' (same tool, diffent setup) [13:09] theres also some other alterantives. but i cent rember their names [13:10] Dr_Willis: tmux [13:10] I have a problem with some gnome program not letting me access my own .ssh keys [13:10] !info tmux [13:10] tmux (source: tmux): terminal multiplexer.

[13:11] kandinski: boot up hold shift to get to the grub screen. boot in recovery mode. and reset the user password. [13:11] it should be the password you set when you installed ubuntu [13:11] histo: but I do have my own user password [13:12] kandinski: then sudo bash [13:12] vlc only plays audio from ffmpeg -vcodec mpeg4 - solution? [13:12] kandinski: then what password don't you know? [13:12] histo: I know my account's user password, this is a modal dialog asking for a password that's "protecting the ssh key" when I try to git push [13:12] kandinski: its the admin users password. The user that installed ubuntu [13:13] histo: don't know what password I don't know, that's the point. It looks like a keylocker. [13:13] raven: another player plays both audio and video of that file? or did your command just strip out the audio only? [13:13] histo: I installed ubuntu under my current user [13:13] kandinski:then its your users password [13:13] kandinski: you've tried the empty password, i suppose...? [13:13] hi there!

(sawfish i recall can) [13:20] Visual: how do you make the writing turn red when you are talking to someone? [13:20] kandinski: you can use ssh-add path/to/your/keyfile to manually add the key to your ssh-agent - that way it is easier to try different passwords [13:20] <{g}> Dr_Willis: what is compiz?

"Error reading bootsector: input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent or there is a hardware fault" [13:58] ocrad doesn't seem to do jpg [13:58] it needs pnm i think [13:58] azolap: then it won't work even if you try to mount if from linux. your HD is most probably gone or very much about to be. [13:58] slimjimflim: well, it's easy enough to convert. install the package "netpbm" and use "pnmtojpeg filename.pnm | your-ocr-program" [13:59] LjL is there a chance the windows user files are still on it? what do you recommend i do to try and recover them? :( [13:59] LjL: ty [13:59] tmobileuk: Should work right out of the box [13:59] slimjimflim: sorry, i meant "jpegtopnm", not "pnmtojpeg" [13:59] vlt, it does not [13:59] right [14:00] azolap: first thing i recommend that you try making an image of your drive (or windows partition) so that, no matter what happens, you'll still have a copy of your data to try recovering later. [14:00] tmobileuk: I used the E160 with 9.04 successfully already [14:00] azolap: otherwise, it's very likely that everything you do will cause further HD corruption, and you'll lose the little that remains [14:01] hi could anyone provide me with a good HOW TO about installation of mod_security on 9.10? [14:01] tmobileuk: When you plug it in it should be available in the network manager applet [14:01] slimjimflim: there are several OCR open source solutions - try them which is better for you [14:02] one is better for black&white [14:02] other for latin letters only [14:02] LjL oh right ok... how can i make an image of my windows partition? can that be done from ubuntu? also the windows partition is 400gb, how am i supposed to back all that up? i only want to recover a small part of it anyway :s [14:02] azolap, I recommend myrescue to image the drive [14:02] other for old letters [14:02] Hi all, has anyone gotten Herrie working (actually producing sound) in Ubuntu? Can't seem to get working and the documentation is quite bad. [14:02] o ok thanks Vilemaxim [14:03] azolap: well, you certainly do need another big enough drive... but how much of those 400GB is actually taken? you can compress the image so that it takes up less, depending on how much free space you have [14:03] Vilemaxim: i recommend to do backups before installing other OS if you are not sure what you are doing :) [14:03] azolap, read the ma pages, but basicily it will copy the partitions an ignore the bad parts until it got all the good parts === radar3d|Zzz is now known as radar3d [14:04] i need to format an sd card on sdb to fat32. what is the terminal command for this? [14:04] wieshka, I recommend doing backups even if you are [14:04] Pudgy: you installed it from the repos? [14:04] backups - good!

[14:05] and clonezilla has stable ubuntu karmic built :) [14:05] wieshka, clonezilla don't do anything special for failing drives.... right? [14:06] oh ok, well thanks for the advice LjL and Vilemaxim , i will try to image the drive using myrescue. but one more thing, am i supposed to write the image to another hard disk connected as a slave or something? [14:06] Vilemaxim: they are so many options - i supouse that there is way for failing drives also [14:06] hi is this where i can get ubuntu help? [14:06] wieshka, he was getting i/o errors [14:06] i only do some configuration about encryption / compressions [14:06] my drives are healhty :) [14:06] azolap: well, or one connected to USB or something. the official help suggests using gddrescue, by the way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Data Recovery from damaged filesystem or drive [14:06] is there a way i can stop ubuntu software centre in the middle of downloading a package? [14:07] azolap: unfortunately gddrescue doesn't seem to support compression :( [14:07] wieshka, I run a repair shop and I've tried a bunch of solutions... including clonezilla,but myrescue worked out the best for me. [14:07] Pudgy: ah, I though the problem was installing the thing. Not sure how to make it play music.. [14:07] Yuki: of downloading, yes (although i don't know how, i just know it can be done safely), of installing, *no* [14:07] wieshka, though I'm always willing to learn something new :) [14:07] Ubuntu keeps opening random folders. Just now the software center loaded itself.. [14:07] oh ok i see [14:08] Vilemaxim: in my case i use clonezilla for daily use - i have a good number of technicaly identical computers and i am setting on them OS with clonezilla [14:09] oCean_: Hmmm... the strange thing is that it doesn't produce sound, just out of the box. I'd hoped that someone would notice that... and preferrably fix it ;) Have you got any idea where I should report this? [14:10] i download KDE desktop , it ask me to choose GDM or KDM display manager [14:10] Pudgy: what is your problem with sound ? [14:10] wieshka, yeah... clonezilla seems cool. I'm been waiting to play with it a little more for the your kinds situation. [14:10] Pudgy: I'm not sure of it's usage, so maybe you have to press a key to make it play. Have you read the manual page? Not sure where you could ask though [14:11] Vilemaxim: the best solution - set up clonezilla server :) [14:11] haloo [14:11] hemza: you choose [14:11] hemza: you can always change it later [14:11] Pudgy: you've been on http://herrie.info/? There's also mentioning of irc channel [14:11] wieshka, what's your take on automated installs plus puppet, vs drive images [14:11] hemza: its actually asking for the LOGIN manager... its just a different graphical interface [14:12] hemza: if you want a new experience try kdm [14:12] wieshka: My sound is working fine. Out-of-the-box ubuntu 10.4, "sudo aptitude install herrie" installs fine, but doesn't produce sound. I've read man-pages to use herrie, that's not the problem. It just fails to produce sound ;) [14:12] oCean_: Ah, I've been there, must have missed the irc chan. Thanks. [14:14] Vilemaxim: for my situation the ebst choise is clonezilla [14:14] and the clone -image [14:14] has autoinstall/configure script inside writen on bash what runs on first boot after clone :) [14:14] InvaderZim : TNX [14:14] thats my solution [14:14] :) [14:14] hi [14:15] hemza: you can revert back by running the command dpkg-reconfigure kdm (or gdm) [14:15] and all dependencies are overwritten with data what device needs. I use HDD ID as device uniq ID :) [14:15] wieshka, I've been trying to work out... What do you do to maintain apps? [14:15] when i log in to ubuntu, i get an error "Could not update file /var/lib/gdm/ICEauthority" i changed some permissions i think so this has occured. how to solve it? [14:15] and by this ID it asks to server what to configure and how [14:15] is there a way i can stop ubuntu software centre in the middle of downloading a package AND getting it to not install it (the package being downloaded)? [14:16] itheos: you should tell the channel exactly what permissions you changed [14:16] I've just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 but I'm unable to install nvidia binary drivers. I've installed nvidia-current and it fails to build the dkms module since it can't find the package source. What is going on here? [14:16] Vilemaxim: i have my own repo, becaouse, basicly main functionality for computer is based on self writen software/scripts [14:17] iw rite scripts/ other developers software :) [14:17] hello [14:17] jrib and the channel, i did "chown -R user:user /" and "chmod -R a+rwxXst /" to the best of my knowledge [14:17] it is advanced use of Ubuntu :) [14:17] itheos: reinstall [14:17] :( === ross is now known as Guest20334 [14:17] what is the command to exit out of desktop environment so that you can log in a different desktop environment [14:17] jrib, why so? [14:17] wieshka, mix os environment or all linux? [14:18] what is the command to exit out of desktop environment so that you can log in a different desktop environment [14:18] when i had installed ubuntu , i downloaded new themes but i failes to istall theme .... [14:18] itheos: because you basically broke the permissions on every file in your system. (don't do that when you reinstall) Why did you decide to do that? [14:18] Guest20334: just click the log out button in your panel [14:18] Vilemaxim: all is linux [14:18] jrib, i didnt know it would do this. cant i get the list of original permissions? or someway to undo it? [14:18] those theme was GDM-NAME .... are they have ralation with gdm display manager [14:18] jrib: i would have done that if I could [14:19] wieshka, want to trade jobs :) [14:19] itheos: reinstall is the easiest way [14:19] Guest20334: why can't you? [14:19] jrib: i am stuck in a desktop environment that doesn't work [14:19] Guest20334: what desktop environment? [14:19] jrib: KDE [14:19] What does 185 mean in nvidia--185-kernel-source? [14:19] jrib: i want to exit out but there is no option [14:19] Guest20334: try #kubuntu [14:19] jrib: tell me the command to get out [14:20] Guest20334: I don't know it for kde [14:20] jrib: me neither that is why someone must help!! [14:20] LjL: well i got it but it came out all screwed up [14:20] Vilemaxim: now i am already 4 days working on one problem [14:20] Guest20334: you could just ctrl-alt-f1 and kill your user, but #kubuntu may know a more elegant way [14:20] the ocr [14:20] nobody can help me :) [14:20] hey guys, ive downloaded an iso file. i was hoping i could mount the iso and it would run automatically, as if it were a physical cd [14:20] the thing is, the launch program is an exe, and if i mount the iso, and try to run it in wine, it eventually crashes. is there anyway i can make it run without needing wine? [14:20] jrib: what is the command for killing the user? [14:21] i have problem with wireless connection in CLI with wpa_supplicant [14:21] wieshka, what's your problem? [14:21] basicly i can connect only non-encrypted network [14:21] demifuror: I tried the mounting option and ended up just burning it to disc because of an error. [14:21] Guest20334: you may use some incantation of pkill for example [14:21] slimjimflim, try another. anyway OCR software on linux is generally not very good :( don't expect fine results [14:21] wieshka : about what? [14:21] crap [14:22] jrib: tell me the command!! [14:22] jrib: ?? [14:22] LjL: what os is better? [14:22] ok now i runned a deamon script, what checks, if there is no internet connection other, then it tries to find non encrypted network and connects to it [14:22] but problems are with encrypted networks [14:22] now i am trying to turnoff hw encryption [14:22] slimjimflim: what? [14:22] i will restart my pc ... to try KDE [14:22] demifuror: i tend to copy all teh binaries from a a cd to (for example ) the .wine/drive_C/GameInstall dir. then run the installer from there. [14:23] demifuror: some games are ok with it. some are not. [14:23] what is the command to exit out of desktop environment so that you can log in a different desktop environment [14:23] wieshka, yeah, I got nothing. [14:23] LjL: you said ocr software on linux is generally not very good...is there another os that has better software? [14:23] its not a game though, its justa tutorial dvd [14:23] slimjimflim: yes, windows. [14:23] i would have thought wine cold handle it [14:23] demifuror: it whould work then i imagine [14:23] LjL: know of any good software for windows to do it? [14:23] demifuror: unless its badly written program [14:23] how can i give modparams to modprobe ? [14:23] * slimjimflim has wine [14:24] slimjimflim: yes, but they are not free [14:24] i'm willing to pay [14:24] man helped :) [14:24] LjL: this is for a very important matter of law [14:25] slimjimflim: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCR_Software i think i've used Abbyy and found it good [14:25] k ty [14:25] LjL: Abby is good, but not open source [14:25] slimjimflim: actually it's even also available for linux according to WP [14:25] Guest20334: I suggested you try #kubuntu, did they know a better way? [14:25] wieshka: [15:24:00] slimjimflim: yes, but they are not free [14:25] ok so is there any way to reinstall my system and keep the settings and installed programs from the old install? [14:26] jrib: ok how about this tell me the command to restart the damn system [14:26] is there a coimmand to type in terminal that opens the current directory in a file browser window? [14:26] jrib: nevermind [14:26] itheos: user settings are in their Home dir. You can backup that. as for installed apps. You can generate a list of theose and reinstall them [14:26] I'm trying to get a USB to Cisco console working. What is the program I need to be using? [14:26] !info cuneiform | slimjimflim, oh, there's also this one in ubuntu, it's new and i haven't tried it, but it seems interesting according to wikipedia [14:26] slimjimflim,: cuneiform (source: cuneiform): multi-language OCR system. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.7.0+dfsg-5 (lucid), package size 1797 kB, installed size 4108 kB (Only available for amd64 i386 all) [14:26] Lj slimjimflim i have worked with OCR software solutions what cost hundreds of thousands - they all are based on ABBYY reader [14:26] what makes me to think that abbyy is the best :) [14:27] !console [14:27] demifuror: nautilus PATH [14:27] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

If both of those fail, what itheos said [14:28] I have an issue with my terminal echo. It will lock up for about 1s every 5s or so. This happens no matter if I'm logged in via TTY console, xfce-terminal or ssh. It will still accept input, but output just locks up, so I can't see what I type until it unfreezes. It's extremely annoying. Any idea of what may cause this? [14:28] :D:D:D sure [14:28] thanks [14:28] Twain_32, welcome to the linux world :) [14:29] Thanks Itheos :) [14:29] On this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/advanced-topics/C/index.html Does the "About users and group" link work for you? If not I'll report it. [14:29] dbr: it is over ssh or local ? [14:29] Twain_32: the 'ubuntu software center' is rather steraight forwared. unless theres somthing specific you are wanting to install ?

[14:30] wieshka ssh or local doesn't matter [14:30] it's also with zsh or bash [14:30] Is there something "kess stable" about 64 bit ubuntu?

[14:31] I have a vps [14:31] e66: you mean tunnel over ssh ? [14:31] itheos: weird. itheos that directory is totally empty here. [14:31] or just ssh connection ? [14:31] itheos: oh wait. i have a .ICEauthority :) ya forgot the . [14:31] Dr_Willis, it has hidden files. ctrl+h will show them [14:31] :/ [14:31] can someone help me configuring a dns server(guide me) I already tried alot of tutorials but I still haven`t done what I want....can someone help me please?

[14:32] llutz: e66 i prefer VPN :) not tunnel over ssh :) [14:32] danutz: well i mean. why do you need to run your own? :) [14:33] wieshka: do whatever you like [14:33] jrib, thanks you too :) [14:33] I want to learn more about this..nothing special..I just want to know..and I think is a good reason for me:) [14:33] anyone try a bluetooth keyboard [14:33] do they work well?

[14:42] gorski: theres some settings/calbration files you can tweak dependign on the chipsetsd. [14:42] Assid: also, change your mirror if the one you're using is slow. [14:42] gorski: small differances in the bios/chipsets that are not updated in the progrms wuld be my guess [14:42] LjL: actually my isp just goes quicker if i use multiple downloads [14:42] brb [14:43] ok, tnx [14:43] LjL: NO its not working.

[15:42] Assid: sounds like a bug then, use the terminal output as part of the bug [15:42] methinks this is related: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1462433 [15:42] joe_c: LTS afaik [15:42] I see, thanks A! :^) [15:42] arcade i did check the hard disk connections yesterday but the laptop casing isn't removed atm so i can't check right now.. i ran an e2fsck earlier today and it found thousands of bad blocks it couldn't read. i thought it was going to fix them but e2fsck has appeared to ruin the disk even more [15:42] sb [15:42] actionParsnip: I'm on windows right now; the software that is causing the error is the 3G driver GUI [15:43] azolap: oh. :-/ [15:43] is there something simmilar to ollydbg for linux? [15:44] how can i change beagle indexing settings? [15:44] hello, i am turning off the icons from the desktop from gconf-editor desktop->gnome->session->[required components list] [15:44] but now i had problem with conky, when it runing and it is shown, it had shadow arround it`s window, is it possible to be fixed ? [15:44] actionParsnip: so is that bug fixed? cause im still getting it and this is 10.04 stable [15:45] Assid: not sure, log your bug and it will be addressed one way or another or be marked as a duplicate of another bug [15:45] thanks a lot doolph it's working fine... but maybe someday someone should make a nice gui about it ^^ === featherofmaat is now known as featherofLucid [15:45] boodroscotch: i dont use 3G on laptops.

Check the conky docs and example configs [15:47] Hello again friends. === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [15:48] btw arcade i just tried dmesg and yes it reports loads about the disc. stuff like "I/O error dev sda" "Buffer I/O error on device sda1, logical block xx" etc [15:49] azolap: That sounds bad. Your main hope seems to be a bad data cable, i.e try to swap the ide/sata/scsi/whatever cable and try again. [15:49] azolap: If it's not the connectors, then .. "shit has happened" [15:49] 'hit the fan. and the fan was on HIGH' [15:50] Dr_Willis: yes. basically [15:50] :P [15:50] lol [15:50] yes.. well thanks for the advice anyway [15:51] azolap: Most of the time it's the connections though. :) [15:51] azolap: So don't give up hope juust yet. [15:51] azolap: My RAID-setup used to behave like that. Problem was that 3 of the disks used to go offline at the same time. In the end I discovered that I had made a silly power-setup with 1 disk being powered from one cable from the PSU, while the second cable ending up with 5 splits. :P [15:52] hmm ok i'll try it in another pc i think, if i can figure out how to get my hd out of my laptop [15:52] azolap: Something that quite simply wasn't enough for the poor disks. When I "rebalanced" the splits, all disks were running nicely. Quite simply a power problem - and no data was lost [15:52] azolap: You might even want to just pull the disk out and slide in back into the same laptop [15:54] oh right arcade, well i hope it is that simple for me. but e2fsck already made a load of changes and i seem to have lost my grub bootloader so even if it was a connection it probably messed up the hd anyway? [15:54] azolap: if you do get it back online. BACKUP your stuff [15:55] azolap: I'm surprised that e2fsck would touch anything outside a single extX filesystem. [15:55] Hi anyone can teach me how to list files includes timestamp with second ? ls command ? [15:55] yes i will back up if i do [15:55] Thank you very much :-) [15:55] ubuntunewbie: ls -la [15:55] Dr_Willis: vlc runs smooth yea [15:55] arcade yes i only ran e2fsck on the linux partition , but it seems to have messed up a lot more than that [15:55] Dr_Willis: but it's lagging too :D [15:55] ubuntunewbie: oh, timestamp with second? use 'stat' on the files. [15:55] azolap: then keep a good backup. if it really dies then you don't care [15:56] nody: could be your video is encoded badly. [15:56] azolap: That is rather strange. e2fsck should only work on a single partition. [15:56] arcade : ? I tried with ls but it only show until min , not second since I wanted to list all files [15:56] arcade : stat ?? [15:56] azolap: Hm, I don't remember exactly how GRUB works though. It of course uses the bootsector, but where does it load the rest of the info from? That I do not remember. [15:57] ubuntunewbie: ls --full-time -la [15:57] arcade: It has enough knowledge of filesystems to traverse the root and find later stages in /boot/grub in the particular partition it was installed from. [15:57] ubuntunewbie: You should also try 'man ls' to figure out the other options to ls [15:58] arcade : ok trying to read [15:58] azolap / Appl6 : So in other words, grub can have been hosed by e2fsck running on the linux partition only, since the grub files was located on the linux partition. [15:58] ah yes i see [15:58] azolap: in that case, your windows stuff might still be entirely safe. [15:59] hm ok, but then why does it say SMART failure predicted every time i turn on now [15:59] azolap: You just need to create yourself a new boot sector, and not fiddle with the windows partition itself. [15:59] that doesn't sound like everything's safe [15:59] azolap: All your data should thus be entirely nice and safe. :P [15:59] it says a failure is imminent :x [15:59] azolap: Oh, certainly. [15:59] azolap: You should probably buy a new hdd [15:59] azolap: But your windows partition isn't destroyed by e2fsck. :) [15:59] EmoSpice yes i plan on doing that, but i really want to get my data back if i can [15:59] from windwos [15:59] ah [16:00] azolap: So, where in the world are you located? [16:00] azolap, You're probably better off buying a new HDD and only running the old one when you're actually going to transfer the files. [16:00] in the UK [16:00] err anyone know if theres an issue with linux being able to detect a drive properly [16:00] azolap: Hm, okay, I'm in Ireland, so still a sea in between. [16:00] azolap: There is however plenty of LUGs and knowledgeable people in the UK, and there might be some that may be able to help you directly. [16:01] for some strange reason its not reading one of my drives correctly [16:01] Assid, an outboard ? [16:01] arcade : want to ask , I dont quite understand the "-a" means -a, --all "do not ignore entries starting with ." ? what does it mean do not ignore start with (what) ? [16:02] Daekdroom but how am i going to get to the files to copy them, the drive doesn't seem to be recognised any more :s arcade hmm ok.. well i'll try to find someone who can if i get no where over the bank holiday weekend [16:02] iu have a 1TB internal it just doesnt wanna detect right [16:02] ubuntunewbie: hidden files in a linux system start with a . (a period) [16:02] ubuntunewbie: "ls" by default ignores listing files that start with a dot (".") . [16:02] in disk utility it doesnt even show my partitions [16:02] morning [16:02] azolap, ah, that definitely makes it require a proper help in the area. [16:02] ubuntunewbie: The '-a' option makes sure to show these "hidden" files. it's a convention for hiding files that you don't want to see normally. Typically config files. [16:02] * Assid is starting to freak out [16:02] Assid, how about gparted [16:03] arcade : oh , thanks ;-) [16:03] azolap, seriously, the thing to do is to take an image of the drive. then later you can use plenty of tools that at least attempt a recovery of your files [16:03] Assid: cfdisk? fdisk? parted? [16:03] so far the move to ubuntu has been a whole lot of loss of data [16:03] hold on waiting for gparted [16:03] LjL i was just about to take an image of the hard disk like you said earlier.. but after e2fsck fniished running the disk was no longer recognised.. i couldn't see my windows/linux partition any more [16:03] azolap: :( [16:04] azolap: i told you to use the disk as little as possible before imaging it :| every time you use it, it risks getting worse, and it probably has [16:04] azolap: that's not e2fsck's fault - it's probably just the harddrivefailing more and more. [16:04] well yes i was going to do it straight away, but e2fsck was like 80% done so i waited for it to end :/ [16:05] and since e2fsck runs over every sector, it's likely to have thrashed more of the drive [16:05] is there a program that would allow me to simulate a keypress? [16:05] Uhm [16:05] oh that does't sound good [16:05] Guys [16:05] frxstrem: xdo? I think it's called? [16:05] Just because SMART shows some errors doesn't mean that the drive is that destroyed yet. It might be, but let's not just jump to conclusions. [16:05] :) [16:06] azolap: My recommendation - just switch it off, find your friendly local linux guru to have a look at it for you. [16:06] damn it says unallocated?!?!?!? [16:06] fxhp: xmacro, xdotool [16:06] wtf just happened to my data [16:07] * Assid thinks he should move back to win7 [16:07] EmoSpice: i can't find it...neither in Ubuntu nor in the repositories [16:07] Assid: did you just do an install? [16:07] EmoSpice: yes [16:07] frxstrem: I told you wrong - I'm looking for the name now [16:07] fresh install maybe a couple of hours back [16:07] Assid: did you do the 'default' install? [16:07] nah.. i chose the drive i want and made my own partitions [16:08] EmoSpice: not my first time on linux. and ubuntu for that matter [16:08] Not saying it is - I'm simply covering bases :) [16:08] are you sure you've chosen the right drives in all of the partitioning software you've used? [16:08] Assid,is the partition in question ntfs ? === rul is now known as xRuL [16:08] BluesKaj: yes bu the otther ntfs partitions work fine [16:09] frxstrem: you're looking for a program, and not a code example, right? [16:09] i didnt even touch that drive [16:10] EmoSpice: yes [16:10] i was too busy trying to get all the updates and softwares i need installed [16:10] * Assid throws an angry fit [16:10] frxstrem: try xevent?

[16:12] Assid, you need to mount that drive , but I would check in another OS first to make sure it's read/writeable [16:12] rocket16: What priority? [16:13] EmoSpice: Thanks, :) [16:13] EmoSpice: okay.......well, it seems to be what I'm looking for, so thanks for your help :) [16:13] arcade: The priority of the process Pidgin in System-monitor. [16:13] arcade, i tried the mount command but it says "mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist" [16:13] (both): You're welcome. [16:13] frxstrem: even if not, it shouldn't be hard to compile. [16:14] EmoSpice: I know - but I cannot seem to get it to work, though (with checkinstall) [16:14] Is running nice apps having any potential to cause slowdowns? (nice means those ran with "nice" command, of course) [16:14] rocket16: What priority? Reducing the priority doesn't make it use less RAM. In any case, the command (from the command line) is 'renice'. [16:14] i have a seagate external hdd. i want to mount it. but i am root and its not detecting it. what to do? [16:14] theadmin: depends. [16:15] frxstrem: you'd be better off asking someone else about debian / ubuntu specific package management. As I said - I'm primarily an Arch / FreeBSD user [16:15] arcade: Well, thanks. But I just meant the shared memory there, and it is affected by the Nice Value from System Monitor GUI. [16:15] theadmin: a niced app can still cause an unniced app to do work (common example: the X server), and they can still do a lot of disk io or consume some other kind of resource. [16:15] marienz: Well, in my case Firefox eats a lot of memory and i want to "nice" it so it is less hungry [16:15] theadmin: nice will not affect memory usage at all. [16:15] marienz: Oh?... bleh :/ [16:15] theadmin: sure.. nice just takes care of the cpu.. if your app uses a lot of bandwidth somewhere (pci, network) it can still cause things to slow down [16:16] Slart: Well it's not the bandwith, it just is hungry with RAM [16:16] theadmin: there's even an "ionice" [16:16] Slart: I have nothing against it using bandwith lolz [16:17] theadmin: you may want to just use a separate program, if you can. Renicing is just going to change it's processing priority and not change much for the RAM usage, if I understand things right. (I could be way off base, though) [16:17] Well anyway. If I put "gnome-shell --replace" in my .profile will that work normally? [16:17] theadmin: well.. if it uses RAM a lot it might still slow other things down.. if it's noticable or not would depend on the system and the app, I would guess [16:17] theadmin: what networks do you use? [16:17] EmoSpice: Networks as in...? [16:18] EmoSpice: If I got it right, eth0 [16:18] theadmin: MSN/ AIM? [16:18] EmoSpice: Oh... uhm. I do use MSN, Gtalk/XMPP/Jabber and ICQ [16:18] EmoSpice: But I don't see how this can cause problems [16:18] I tried to compile xevent from source, but 'make' gave me an error message (http://pastebin.com/WwPqHEjX) - does someone know why it won't compile? [16:18] Can I use the openshot to export a video to a .wmv format?? [16:19] it doesn't - I was going to suggest using jabber and utilising their transports. Pidgin is RAM hungry anyway - and like I said I don't believe that renicing it is going to help [16:19] theadmin: what version are you using¿¿ i see no problems with latest pidgin 2.7 [16:19] raul__: Doubt it very much (just the name has "open" in it and wmv is propertiary) [16:19] xangua: Uhm, I have no idea where on earth the dude got an idea I have pidgin problems. I was asking about Firefox. [16:19] i have a seagate external hdd. i want to mount it. but i am root and its not detecting it. what to do?

[16:58] soreau, did you mean reloggin? well ok then [16:58] thanks bro [16:58] bradpitt: No, that is nto what I meant [16:58] not* [16:58] I meant start it from alt+f2 run dialog or a terminal [16:59] soreau: So, no man pages for: kbluetooth, knotify4, virtuoso-t, console-kit-daemon, and that's just some of the stuff that is started on boot. [16:59] does anyone know details on how to modify the gnome-automounter? i want to modify it's settings in a way that it mounts USB-NTFS-Harddisks with certain attributes (umask, owner, group) [16:59] bradpitt: what is your graphic card?, if i may ask [16:59] soreau: I find it rather amusing that stuff that is autostarted lacks manpages. .p [16:59] soreau: Oh, and "modem-manager" whatever that is. :P [16:59] wise_crypt, manli geforce 7200 gs [17:00] arcade: You may need to install -doc packages [17:00] hi [17:00] Is there a way for me to bump up the refresh rate to over 85Hz? I am using ubuntu Lucid Lynxz with a nVidia Corporation G71 [GeGorce 7950 GT] adapter with a monitor that has a horizontal freq. 30 to 130 kHz and verical freq. 50 to 170 Hz. [17:00] soreau: Sure, it's fun to try to hunt for them though :P [17:00] arcade: But mostly man pages are for more technical, vetted components [17:00] soreau: I find it amusing that the default install doesn't have the manpages for what's installed with the default install [17:00] bradpitt: down load this http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=158568&d=1275070708 to check what is missing [17:01] *download [17:01] arcade: are you sure those apps do HAVE man-pages? [17:01] hello world. i am looking for a linux guru who can tell me about upstart/sysv [17:01] llutz: No, and that's an ever bigger bug, if Ubuntu ships with default daemons enabled that doesn't even have bloody manpages. :P [17:02] bradpitt: joint us http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1494955 [17:02] wise_crypt, will do bro.

[17:04] soreau, can you take a look at this screenshot? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2075532/UBUNTU/Ubuntu%20Screenshot/LXDE2.png metacity or whatever it's name still like in ubuntu. [17:04] arcade: focus is on people which never will read any documentation :( [17:05] llutz: dumb it down until the early adopters flee to a better distro? :P [17:05] llutz: certainly sounds like a plan. [17:07] bradpitt: What am I supposed to see in this shot? [17:07] soreau, buttons it's like in ubuntu [17:07] where is the file that tells the system what to do on boot? [17:07] anyone here with sysv startup knowledge? [17:08] bradpitt: You mean the window borders? [17:08] desperate-man: sure, what do you need help with? [17:08] soreau, yes [17:08] bradpitt: Try disabling /apps/gwd/use_metacity_theme in gconf-editor [17:09] Where can i find the file that tells the operating system what to do when it boots? [17:10] grub? [17:10] soreau, awesome. Merci beaucoup [17:10] no right after grub. I think it was inetd [17:10] #omg!ubuntu!

I am useless. I have never encountered that problem [17:55] wise_crypt: huh? [17:55] heh [17:56] mcl0vin, apt-get purge [17:56] mcl0vin: aptitude purge '~nlirc' (check with -s before) === Chazz is now known as Guest68347 [17:56] anyone could help? [17:56] err aptitude purge yeah [17:56] vic20gmr_[lucid]: if you not sure its a good this to avoid "mode line" [17:56] Ububasher: Any idea why my hardy-> lucid upgrade might have stalled at "Setting up rsyslog. creating config file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf" and what I should do about it? [17:56] !patience | iamm [17:56] iamm: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [17:57] Can anybody help Watermelon with upgrade problem? Possibly going to be networking issue due to failed resource. [17:57] hello. anyone who got time in PM for discussing about start-up script and sysv in server 10.04? [17:57] i am running a partial upgrade I'm not sure why it says that [17:57] rallias: Well then. You need to edit the files in /etc/network . Network-manager will config in /etc/NetworkManager === u is now known as Guest94212 [17:57] Flyingwatermelon, open a terminal [17:57] Ububasher: there's is no need to repeat his issue. [17:57] !ask | iamm, [17:57] iamm,: 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. :-) [17:57] kjele: pretty soon i am going to uninstall gnome on this computer so that it can be a deticated proxy/router server [17:57] Flyingwatermelon, and type in: ps -ef | grep nm-apple [17:57] desperate_man: there is an #ubuntu-server channel. they be of some help. [17:57] ibuclaw, what does that do? [17:57] Watermelon; try upgrading via terminal 'apt' [17:57] wise_crypt: ya, y i was hoping to find something that might do it for me, along the lines of startup manager "editing" grub file[s] for me [17:57] bastifrazor: cool, will try [17:58] i did sudo apt-get upgrade Ububasher [17:58] Flyingwatermelon, checks if nm-applet (the Network manager) is running [17:58] llutz: what do you mean to check is -s first [17:58] mcl0vin: aptitude purge '~nlirc' -s to check whats foing to be purged [17:58] going [17:58] yes, BluesKaj-Laptop, got already a question above... and just following up... not actually an impatient user here... [17:58] Flyingwatermelon, what are you upgrading from -> to ? [17:58] using xchat...what is this red line that sometimes shows up in the chat window all the way across the screen? [17:58] did you use the '-v' verbose option. Could really help diag [17:58] kjele, sorry man i took step by step screen shoots, but still having problems with pastebin, maybe i can email it to you? [17:58] ibuclaw, from 9.10 to 10.04 [17:58] oh whatever i suppose i will go look into gentoo [17:58] hello. I'm having trouble installing mencoder. it says it depends on libdirac0c2a, but this package has been replaced by libdirac-encoder0 . How do I solve this? Some googling did not help [17:58] blackstar: just past it here then [17:59] Flyingwatermelon, then don't use apt-get to upgrade. >:) [17:59] BRB [17:59] llutz: http://pastebin.com/fKQ6tT3V [17:59] blackstar: it is only one line right? [17:59] iamm, ok, guess i missed your question [17:59] mcl0vin: how did you install lirc? [17:59] llutz: Compile it [17:59] Flyingwatermelon, upgrade your system with: gksu update-manager [18:00] :P [18:00] hello people [18:00] i'm new using the IRC don't know how to past it in here [18:00] mcl0vin: then deinstall by hand, you should have used package-management to install (at least checkinstall) [18:00] ibuclaw: Please do not use gksu with update-manager. Policy-kit should do it [18:00] can someone tell me how can i move to 1280x1024 screen resolution? [18:00] anyone else have any suggestions about how i might "force" or otherwise get my monitor working at 72hz? [18:00] mcl0vin: if you still have the source dir.. go into it and try --> sudo make uninstall [18:01] to mount an ntfs partition in ubuntu 10:04, it does not require the root password. How does it require a password for root, to mount a partition? [18:01] Watermelon; I have to go for now (finalizing script). email me at fluffyninjakitten@gmail.com [18:01] quit [18:01] hi [18:01] mcl0vin: but from now on when compiling from source, i also recommend you learn to use 'checkinstall'.. and 'kernel-package' if you're compiling custom kernel [18:02] onetinsoldier: ok will do [18:02] I have a question about apache2 but I'm not sure if I should ask it here or in some apache2 dedicated channel... [18:02] hi, i removed pulseaudio so the games i own would run properly with sound, but now games from ubuntu repositories have no sound [18:02] FabulouS: Who is it? [18:02] gyre: use #httpd [18:02] mcl0vin: ok, cheers. good luck [18:02] kjele just waiting for u to accept it [18:02] Any idea why my hardy-> lucid upgrade might have stalled at "Setting up rsyslog. creating config file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf" and what I should do about it? Or failing that what will happen if I bail out of the upgrade at ~75% complete? [18:02] kjele, says nothing about polkit https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades :) [18:02] onetinsoldier: llutz after the 'make uninstall' how would i check if it remover it all [18:02] mcl0vin: let me know if that 'make uninstall' commands works out ok for you ;-) [18:02] blackstar: What is the url? [18:03] onetinsoldier: it did [18:03] llutz: thanks...i'll try [18:03] seems ecverty time i try ubuntu sometihging goes wrong [18:03] i'm trying to tranfer it thought the irc chat [18:03] ibuclaw: just do update-manager and you will see [18:03] kjele, myself =) [18:03] I need some help regarding the patch command [18:03] mcl0vin: you have to trust the makefile-author [18:03] mcl0vin: cool. you can do... sudo updatedb && locate lirc | less ...that 'might' show you if there's anything left over anywhere from it [18:03] okay, well I think it upgraded anyway...how do I remove the old version from grub? [18:04] hello [18:04] I"m using ubuntu and I can't figure out why my cpu is only reporting back as 1 cpu [18:04] i have a quad core 6600 [18:04] to mount an ntfs partition in ubuntu 10.04, it does not require the root password. How does it require a password for root, to mount a partition? [18:04] help-me [18:04] but its only showing up as 1 core [18:04] is there a special kernel i need to download? [18:04] blackstar: hmm . Open the file copy the content and go to pastebin.com and past it there [18:04] GeekZoid, where are y ou looking [18:04] mcl0vin: but yeah.. what llutz said. you need to put some trust into the developer that the make uninstall script did it's job [18:04] cat /proc/cpuinfo [18:04] I also tried mpstat -P All 1 10 [18:04] blackstar: Then give me the url. Clean and simple [18:04] onetinsoldier: http://pastebin.com/t5R6nHY0 [18:04] still shows up as one. [18:05] one moment [18:05] FabulouS, sorry, your question didn't make sense to me [18:05] how can I check to make sure my system updated to 10.04 correctly without errors? also, how can I remove the old version from grub [18:05] does anyone know how to get sound working in ubuntu 10.04, or should i just get rid it [18:05] onetinsoldier: what i am trying to do is recompile it and try to get it to work [18:06] a3ist: any ideas? [18:06] mcl0vin: you might want to remove that stuff in /etc. be careful you don't remove anything not related to lirc though! [18:06] Can anyone tell me, if I'm trying to patch a program's source code before installing it with a .diff patch, how may I do so using the "patch" command from the terminal? [18:06] Hi all. [18:06] onetinsoldier: what do you mean..i am trying to remove lirc [18:06] !checkinstall | mcl0vin use this to build a deb when compiling again [18:06] mcl0vin use this to build a deb when compiling again: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [18:06] CodenameStrike, i think it's: patch < /path/to/patchfile.diff [18:06] mcl0vin: also... rm -rv ~/.lirc [18:06] don't i need a SMP kernel? [18:07] FabulouS: You need root permission if you are going to mount stuff with a terminal if there is no entry in fstab that says other user can mount it. [18:07] how can I check to make sure it upgraded without error? also, how can I remove the old version from grub? [18:07] is there not anyone in here that can help me with an upgrade issue?? I'm feeling rather ignored [18:07] node357, do I run it from the program's source code folder? [18:07] My problem. I install ubuntu 10.04 LTS, using it... 2 hours, but, it dont see sound cart on my motherboard. [18:07] Can anyone tel me where i can get a SMP kernel for 10.04 [18:07] yes CodenameStrike, i'm pretty sure you have to be in the source code directory to do it [18:07] it doesn't recognize all mjy cpus. [18:08] GeekZoid: they all should be smp [18:08] hmm [18:08] the one i have doesn't say SMP [18:08] and i did a stock install [18:08] node357, distribution in ubuntu 10.04. When mounting a partition (NTFS) or any other partition, it mounts the partition without requiring a password. Already in version 9.10, to mount a partition, it requires the root password, so it can be mounted. Now it makes sense? [18:08] GeekZoid: cat /proc/cpuinfo should tell y ou about the CPU's it found [18:08] onetinsoldier: 'dpkg -l lirc' still shows ii lirc 0.8.6-0ubuntu2 infra-red remote control support [18:08] GeekZoid: what is your uname -r ? [18:08] GeekZoid: grep CONFIG_SMP /boot/config-$(uname -r) [18:08] node357, so I did. How to know whether the patch process is finished? [18:09] Peacetara: it doesnt find them all [18:09] how can I check to make sure it upgraded without error? also, how can I remove the old version from grub? [18:09] CodenameStrike, you should get a confirmation that the file was patched [18:09] mcl0vin: ok, then you also have it installed via apt/dpkg [18:09] hmm [18:09] Llutz: your right [18:09] its showing up as smp=y [18:10] FabulouS: Well can you change mount point? [18:10] mcl0vin: give me a few minutes and i'll help you with this.. walk you through it [18:10] kjele, I want to know how to configure fstab to require password when you mount a partition, without the terminal [18:10] okay FabulouS now I see what you mean.. I'm new to 10.04.. checked /etc/fstab and there are no entries for my NTFS partitions, so I'm not sure how to require a password for mounting... very insecure [18:10] Why the heck is it only showing up as 1 cpu ive got a Q6600? [18:10] maybe its something in the bios [18:10] brb [18:10] GeekZoid: grep processor /proc/cpuinfo [18:10] !backtrack [18:10] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [18:10] hi, i removed pulseaudio so the games i own would run properly with sound, but now games from ubuntu repositories have no sound [18:11] FabulouS: The mount is from nautilus [18:11] how can I check to make sure it upgraded without error? also, how can I remove the old version from grub? [18:11] ill be back im going to check the bios.. [18:11] kjele, is an exit [18:11] node357: pulse audio is important [18:11] the sound lags when pulseaudio is installed [18:11] by like 10 seconds, it's no good [18:12] hi [18:12] node357, if I didn't get any and the process goes on - as in not coming back to the "user@pc" prompt that lets you key in any other commands to run, does that mean it's not finished? [18:12] I did ran purge pulseaudio to get my Spotify work in Wine, now my spotify works, but my sound on youtube etc doesn't work, can anyone help me fix this problem? [18:12] im facing a Geom Error when booting with my windows hard drive [18:12] kjele, but what I'm wondering, is security, already imagined some user has access to my machine and was able to mount the partitions, just because it does not require password [18:12] this is after i was playing with installing ubuntu [18:12] mcl0vin: ok, i'm here. you ready? [18:12] darn CodenameStrike, I guess I made a mistake.. it shouldn't take more than a few seconds... I'll do some research [18:13] kjele, I see the fstab, try to configure it [18:13] tried installing kubuntu alongside windows 7...can't get either os to boot following restart...any ideas? [18:13] hi,guys...what's a dummy package? [18:13] hmm the latest ubuntu is the one with categories on the left side I.E internet, graphics, accessories [18:13] FabulouS: If they have physical access to your machine then they have full access. There is no security risk... [18:13] CodenameStrike, patch -p0 < patch-file-name-here [18:13] i have powernowd installed how do i configure it? [18:13] I forgot the -p0 [18:13] FabulouS: The mount option you are looking for is in gconf-editor under apps>nautilus [18:14] how can I check to make sure it upgraded without error? also, how can I remove the old version from grub? [18:14] how do I get proper sound with/without pulseaudio?? this is so stupid [18:14] Flyingwatermelon: that what upgraded without error? [18:14] mcl0vin: you need any help? [18:14] kjele, ok thanks [18:14] someone wanna help me out, I juts got ubuntu, used linux before but im still new [18:15] peacetara, from 9.10 to 10.04 [18:15] what do you need, bricky [18:15] node357, since I keyed in "patch -p1 ../patchname.diff" from the folder, did missed anythung? [18:15] Flyingwatermelon: does the machine work? then chances are it upgraded ok.. did you get errors during upgrade? [18:15] i have powernowd installed how do i configure it? there's no GUI [18:15] hi,guys...what's a dummy package? [18:15] anyone? [18:15] node357: just basic stuff nothing at all technical [18:16] CodenameStrike, not sure what the difference is between -p0 and -p1 .. the last time I did a patch, it aid something like "file patched successfully" [18:16] bricky, you could probably learn the basics on the ubuntu web site [18:16] node357: okay I will definitly look around on there [18:16] I'm not gonna be here much longer since no one seems to have an answer [18:16] Hello folks, I'm having a little trouble trying to install a package. I'm running 10.04 x86. Trying to install openbios-sparc [18:16] Ty [18:16] peacetara, yes it said somthing about not finding all sources to upgrade [18:16] good luck bricky [18:16] sometimes I need to be reminded :) [18:17] peacetara, but it upgraded anyway lol [18:17] Hi all, do any of you know how to solve a Grub Error 17? [18:17] hehe [18:17] SOUND: how do you make it work in Ubuntu 10.04 ? [18:17] Flyingwatermelon: If you used "sudo apt-get upgrade" then depending on what else you did you are either still completely on 9.10 or in a really bad state between 9.10 and 10.04. In *no* circumstance will "sudo apt-get upgrade" properly upgrade between major releases. [18:17] node357: I think I remember you your name is sort of familiar [18:17] same bricky :) [18:17] from a few years ago [18:17] r [18:17] Has anyone gotten magic mouse to work on Ubuntu 10.4? [18:17] node357: usuallly just does :-/ [18:18] Jordan_U, that's what I did...how to fix it? [18:18] hello guise [18:18] it was a few years ago I started attempting to use Ubuntu, and I'm still trying to make it work [18:18] blackstar: Still problems ? I see that you wanted to send a 6mb file that is kinda big. I just need to know what permissions are set on the file [18:18] i installed seahorse-plugins but i still dont see any option in nautilus to encrypt files with GPG, any ideas? [18:18] i have powernowd installed how do i configure it? there's no GUI [18:18] I guess I should shell out $250 for paid support... to get sound working :| [18:18] Flyingwatermelon: Did you do anything else like modify your sources.list? [18:18] hello. I'm having trouble installing mencoder. it says it depends on libdirac0c2a, but this package has been replaced by libdirac-encoder0 . How do I solve this? Some googling did not help [18:18] hello, does anyone knows how to setup a global menu in gnome? [18:18] Jordan_U, no [18:19] good bye [18:19] Vax_, you mean a menu that all users see? isn't that already set up by default? [18:19] thank you veru much the answers [18:19] Vax_: There is a ppa out there. Last time I used firefox was broken [18:19] Flyingwatermelon: Then nothing bad has happened, and you are still completely on 9.10. [18:19] Vax_: have yoy tried gnome applet global menu¿¿ [18:19] How do I install this package in 10.04? apt-get install openbios-sparc gives error: not available, but is referred to by another package,etc [18:19] how can i check what version of my distro im running_ [18:19] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/source/lucid/openbios-sparc [18:19] hi [18:19] Jordan_U, well, I went to upgrade manager and installed all upgrades...and installed 10.04 from there? [18:19] so no one here has any idea how sound in Ubuntu works [18:19] node357: from canonical? sounds fun but expensive. [18:19] mcl0vin: are you here at all? need any help? [18:20] Blackhat: lsb_release -a [18:20] Docteh, very expensive, Microsoft support is cheaper [18:20] node357: if this is a non-portable computer, consider spending that money on supported hardware [18:20] , nope. is it buggy? [18:20] janejp: a dummy package is a package put there to make dependencies happy, but doesn't have to exist otherwise (there may be other reasons, but that's the most common). [18:20] node357: well "i need help with my sound" tells us nothing [18:20] mosno, it's a sound blaster live supported by alsa [18:20] node357: I installed ubuntu from an exe, it saved my laptop [18:20] Vax_: no http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/ [18:20] Docteh, i already explained the problem when i joined... don't start criticizing me again, i get that every time i ask for help [18:20] Has anyone gotten magic mouse to work on Ubuntu 10.4? [18:20] I'm curious [18:21] why the battery indicator is horizontal on my laptop [18:21] ah [18:21] , thanks, i'll check it out [18:21] Flyingwatermelon: If you open System > Adminisration > Update-Manager then it should givve you an option to upgrade to 10.04. Anything else is just getting you minor updates to 9.10. [18:21] and it's vertical on my friends laptop? [18:21] pdtpatri2k: the regular cordless or is it the two-button? [18:21] glad to hear it, bricky [18:21] !upgrade | Flyingwatermelon [18:21] Flyingwatermelon: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [18:21] @blue_anna .. the wireless (newest one that just came out) [18:21] yo yo yo [18:21] Jordan_U, it says my system is up to date [18:21] i have powernowd installed how do i configure it? there's no GUI [18:21] Jordan_U, does that mean I have 10.04? [18:21] I installed Ubuntu 10.04, ran some commercial games I own, and the sound lags by about 10 seconds... I removed pulseaudio, now the commercial games work correctly, but the ones from Ubuntu repos have no sound at all [18:21] anyone know if I can safely install kubuntu alongside both windows 7 and ubuntu? [18:21] pdtpatri2k: nevermind I just remembered, its the wireless with the ibm-style nub .. osrry, havent [18:22] Flyingwatermelon: No. [18:22] Flyingwatermelon: Change mirror [18:22] also, the volume control won't work now [18:22] kjele, what? [18:22] node, never remove pulse :) [18:22] blue_anna: yeah its giving me all sorts of problem. About ready to give it up and move on. [18:22] node357: or you could simple not have removed pulseaudio and set wine to use pulse instead [18:22] Jordan_U, how can I check what version I am running? [18:22] so my evolution isn't working.. I'm getting the following errors launching it from shell: [18:22] (evolution:5061): evolution-mail-WARNING **: Could not setup local store/folder: disk I/O error and (evolution:5061): camel-WARNING **: something went wrong terribly during db creation [18:22] ljsoftnet: http://x4.6times7.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/devlog/blog/use_powernowd_with_own_defaultoptions_in_ubuntu_7.10 [18:22] !version | Flyingwatermelon [18:22] Flyingwatermelon: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [18:22] Flyingwatermelon: if lsb_release says something else than lucid then change the download mirror [18:22] xangua, I am not using wine [18:22] tdnicho: just type [18:23] trollboy: i'd boot to live cd and fsck the partitions [18:23] node357: what were you refering by commercial games¿¿ [18:23] ActionParsnip, that bad? [18:23] pdtpatri2k: tdnicho you could. it takes some magic bootfoo magic and at least 3 partitions (but really probably 5, 2 for swap) [18:23] tdnicho: i don't see why not. i have my linux on a separate hard drive, but i have Grub menu for all my Operating Systems, which are, Win7, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu [18:23] xangua, games I bought that run natively on GNU+Linux, like Quake Wars, Doom 3, UT2004 [18:23] pdtpatri2k: but you can have KDE installed as well as gnome on the same ubuntu. it doesn't die or anything. [18:23] tdnicho: Why not just install the kubuntu-desktop package? [18:23] kjele, it says lucid Jordan_U [18:24] peacetara: what? [18:24] Flyingwatermelon: Then you have lucid [18:24] oddly enough i've never been screwed with by pulse audio [18:24] kjele: You should not change releases by changing the mirror manually, please do not recommend doing so. [18:24] oops sorry I sent to the wrong person [18:24] !emu10k1 [18:24] Jordan_U, how can I update grub to remove old versions? === Guest51560 is now known as darkjoker [18:25] is there a channel here on freenode for open office ? [18:25] I was using slackware, which doesn't include pulseaudio, and the sound in the games was fine.. I Just thought Ubuntu would be easier [18:25] Jordan_U: Some mirrors are old. Changing download location only. Not telling to point the point release to lucid. [18:25] If I could just use ALSA everything would be fine [18:25] node357: its easier until theres a problem ;) [18:26] true [18:26] Flyingwatermelon: What version are you using now? [18:26] is there an easy way to get a list of packages that need reconfiguring? [18:26] i had gotten a flash drive on ebay. i never thought i'd be victim of it, but the ID's seem to indicate it was a hong kong fake since i use my flash drives between ubuntu and windows i often use FAT32 since that causes less problems unmounting uncleanly. the flash drive won't take NTFS at all. what can i use in linux command line to full up the drive increment by increment so i can tell its actual drive storage capacity vs the automatic readout for the [18:26] drive ? i do not require a filesystem for this, just accurate results [18:26] thanks, Kernel-Panic...someone in the Kubuntu forum just suggested the same thing....is it easy to implement the KDE once i've installed kubuntu-desktop? [18:27] kjele, 10.04? [18:27] Flyingwatermelon: update-grub --version [18:27] I guess I could download the developers versions of the games... which kind of defeats the purpose of having nice easy repos to begin with [18:27] meh I give up, i'll try again when a new ubuntu is released [18:27] bye [18:28] lol [18:28] wont get fixed if its not reported [18:28] any votes for wired / wireless keyboards? i'm having some weird issues with a logitech dinovo.. i'm thinking about going back to wired kb.

[18:29] k-rad: read the whole thing in with dd and see how big the file is, like /sdc vs /dev/sdc1 [18:29] shesaidohyea: there is a linux keyboard from cherry with a nice penguin key instead of the windows key ;) [18:29] peacetara, what?

"update-grub --version" [18:30] Flyingwatermelon: Need to know the grub version [18:30] k-rad: it'll write out a big ass file, and you just need to look at the size of it compared to what fdisk says [18:30] kjele, aaron@watermelons-laptop:~$ sudo update-grub--version [18:30] sudo: update-grub--version: command not found [18:30] aaron@watermelons-laptop:~$ [18:30] sorry, and this http://paste.pocoo.org/show/220048/ bag in conky. i not find in launchpad [18:31] tdnicho: kubuntu-desktop includes everything that would be in a normal Kubuntu CD.

[19:15] milo__: just state what it is you are trying to do, and exactly what happens, all in ONE line if possible. if one line not possible, then use pastebin [19:15] Flyingwatermelon: the recovery kernel is actually the same kernel with single as parameter.

[19:16] kjele, but I have 2 recovery kernels on the grub screen?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:19] how do you upgrade a particular software? ( apt-get upgrade doesn't take an argument ) [19:19] anyone know if gnome-polkit-authentication-agent uses gnome-keyring to verify passwords? [19:19] kjele, http://pastebin.com/6PqpU4yX [19:19] rxnfx: use apt-get install [19:19] I'm not sure if its due to my BIOS settings (I received a message a couple times saying that NX settings aren't enabled) or my graphics drivers (I only have the integrated graphics on this PC), but sometimes the screen just randomly goes black and the sound goes out. Why? [19:19] what's the difference between advanced and simple CompizConfig Settings Manager? [19:19] i see.. install also upgrades? [19:20] rxnfx: if there's a newer version available, it's usually just 'apt install ' to install the very newest/latest version of it [19:20] Flyingwatermelon: my bad it is 2.6.31 not 2.6.32 [19:20] Hello? [19:20] awesome. thank you. [19:20] When using UNIX sockets, by default everyone has read/execute privileges. Does that pose a security threat? What keeps someone from "joining" the communication channel? Thanks. [19:20] Flyingwatermelon: That is why you have "sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-2.6-31-21-generic" [19:20] rxnfx: you may need to run this first --> sudo apt-get update [19:21] T.T Finally . . .if anyone can lend a helping hand with a pretty pain in the ass problem hit me up :X [19:21] onetinsoldier: ok, will do [19:21] rxnfx: cheers :) [19:21] I'm not sure if its due to my BIOS settings (I received a message a couple times saying that NX settings aren't enabled) or my graphics drivers (I only have the integrated graphics on this PC), but sometimes the screen just randomly goes black and the sound goes out. Why? [19:21] what is better? KDE or gnome? And why? [19:22] !best | UT8F [19:22] UT8F: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:22] UT8F: or ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:22] sometimes there is a single best, but in this case it's a matter of opinion [19:22] s3a: The Simple one is mostly automatic, and fixes mostly all things for you itself, if you select the proper profile. It is profile-driven. But in Advanced, there is more detailed configuration. You can fix things up yourself, but it will take more efforts/ [19:23] Anybody know how to get flash working :x I'v tried everything. [19:23] Literally. [19:23] Jaspe1: You have 64bit system? [19:23] rocket16: so "advanced" does not mean more effects or anything right? [19:23] No [19:23] kjele, http://pastebin.com/AacdpuwW that look right? [19:23] I dont beleive so, hold on. [19:23] Jaspe1: uname -a [19:24] Flyingwatermelon: yea just type y [19:24] Hello Everyone!! Guys Who know how to Run AION Game Client on Linux Ubuntu ?? [19:24] !wine | Twain_32 [19:24] Twain_32: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [19:24] UT8F: It depends on choice. KDE is mostly focused on more features, and can be customized more, but it has reputation to be rich with excessive-features, and it slower (consumes more memory). But GNOME is to be simple, and faster. GNOME needs 384 MB and KDE 512 MB RAM minimum. So, it depends on your choice. [19:25] No im not [19:25] kjele, thanks....also, do you know if it is possible to get my bookmarks from firefox on windows to firefox on ubuntu? I have them dual booting [19:25] Jaspe1: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" Should install flash for you [19:26] s3a: No, it does not mean so, generally. But it allows you to give some more effects with plugins, and you can customize your own settings. If you take my word, Simple one is for starters, and automatic. Advanced one is feature-rich, but more effort is needed to set up. [19:26] Says " Couldnt find package" [19:27] I'v literally been workin on this for 3 day's haha. [19:27] Flyingwatermelon: sorry was like a few years ago I ever used Windows. [19:27] Flyingwatermelon: you can, there is a new weave extension to firefox that does this for you. (and keeps the 2 syncronized) [19:27] rocket16: I have heard thar kde apps crashes more than gnome, is that true? [19:27] onetinsoldier: i can't view youtube videos and can't get access to the gnome volume control [19:27] peacetara, how does that work? [19:27] Hey guys, is there a crash test utility on ubuntu? Need to find out what's causing the system to crash. Already had a full mem test from a boot disk, but want to test the nvidia card thorougly. cheers! [19:27] Flyingwatermelon: you install weave and set it up on both. if you web search for firefox weave there hsould be plenty of docs [19:28] Flyingwatermelon: theo ther option is to manually export your booksmarks move the file, and them import [19:28] Jaspe1: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" [19:28] Flyingwatermelon: in your windows Firefox, export your bookmarks.. JSON file option probably best. then copy the file over to linux and import it into your Linux Firefox [19:29] Hi all open source loving people. [19:29] milo__: please... address the question/problem to the entire channel and not direct it specifically at me. thanks [19:29] Unfortunately I must betray you a bit because I so desperately need sun-java6-jre [19:30] phoebus: I don't know of one, did you try searching the web? [19:30] Can anyone please help me to view youtube videos and get access to the gnome volume control [19:30] peacetara: granted, any keywords coming to mind for what I need? Can't brain today :/ [19:30] I get sun-java6-jdk is not available when I try to install trough synaptic [19:31] anyone else have an nvidia card with the 185 restricted drivers, and have the problem where the machine will lock up with X at 100% CPU and then never loads gdm ? [19:31] !java | purerumble [19:31] purerumble: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [19:31] milo__: you need flash installed flashplugin-installer I believe is the package name. [19:31] milo__: Do you have Flashplugin installed there? [19:31] milo__: because, i'm just one guy, and don't know everything. my area of expertise is probably more in package management problem than anything else [19:31] i cant see any online videos. haha. i want to get this fixed. I keep getting Dependency not satisfiable, then i got cairo2 blah blah [19:31] I have a feeling im missing shit [19:31] milo__: Use this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [19:31] Jaspe1: You have universe and multiverse enable === sshc_ is now known as sshc [19:32] Rocket16: I have already tried that... [19:32] milo__: You have 64 bit? [19:32] Hi. What do I need to pass in "boot:" in order to change ressolution in non X enviroment of minimal install cd? [19:32] purerumble: you need any help with enabling the 'partner' repository? [19:33] kjele: No I have a 32 bit [19:33] Jaspe1: Go to System-Administration-Software Sources and check all options (other than Source code) there [19:33] onetinsoldier: lemme figure out what it exactly is that i need first :) [19:33] purerumble: ok [19:33] milo__: Is it only youtube or flash generally? [19:34] Hello, really need help on this one. Somehow I messed up my sudo update alternatives when it came to JAVA. No matter if I now install the icedtea6 plugin or whatever, java is not detected. Is there a way to erase user made settings? [19:34] milo__: You need to enable Multiverse and universe-supports. Go to System-Administration-Software Sources and check all options there (Except source code) and then click close. Then let it update, and then use this command again: [19:34] Completely remove ALL traces of java [19:34] Im doing that restricted extra's right now [19:34] Jaspe1: Sure, I believe it will work there. But it installs other packages too. Still ok. [19:34] Java -version works by the way [19:34] I ok [19:34] Ill have to check on multiverse. [19:35] Jaspe1: Yes, I believe that might be causing the problem [19:35] kjele: the thing is that i can view youtube videos posted on websites such as facebook, but can't view them directly on youtube. And also i can't view videos uploaded on facebook from a computer [19:35] MPX: dpkg-reconfigure java [19:35] milo__: Which browser do you use? [19:35] kjele: does not work. Java is not installed [19:36] Hi - is there anyway to stop NotifyOSD from showing updates about a specific application? [19:36] MPX: then it is dpkg --configure java [19:37] milo__: type uname -a and show me the output [19:37] kjele: does not work [19:37] rocket16: ok. What kind should i use after that? [19:37] ok now it said "Idconfig deferred processing now taking place [19:37] how do I look at a pkg's postinst script? [19:37] MPX: well, how about installing java? [19:37] it IS installed [19:38] openjdk and icedtea plugin [19:38] specifically flashplugin-nonfree. [19:38] kjele, do I have to remove the header from grub manually? [19:38] milo__: As kjele said, you need to use uname -a and paste the output to pastebon or codepad, and give us the link [19:38] Flyingwatermelon: it is update when you remove the kernel [19:38] onetinsoldier: thanks man I found the partner repository and activated it. The binary and source! [19:39] Ok so i did the restricted stuff, but i still dont have flash T.T [19:39] MPX: Then I do not quite understand how you can make another alternative [19:39] kjele, on 9.10 was it the same way? cause I actually removed it manually from grub on there with help [19:39] purerumble: sweet. good job :) [19:39] Jaspe1: Did you restart the browser? [19:39] yea [19:40] Flyingwatermelon: Should be the same. But update-grub if you are uncertain [19:40] digitalranger: this is generally application specific, which app? [19:40] kjele: I messed something up during update alternatives. Is there A way I can remove ALL traces of Java [19:40] Jaspe1: Do you have other addons like no script? [19:40] Jungle Disk Desktop [19:40] I mean, find and delete every instance, config and whatnot [19:40] trism: Jungle Disk Desktop [19:40] Because no matter what I do now, Chrome will not detect my java [19:41] MPX: yea just purge openjdk and icedtea [19:41] It's my understanding that Ubuntu automatically restarts the GPU upon lockup. Is there any way to prevent Ubuntu from doing this? [19:41] rocket16- Kjele: here is the output: "Linux isma-laptop 2.6.28-18-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:40:52 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [19:41] " [19:41] hey [19:41] mplayer the charecter "f" does nothing [19:41] it should enable disable fullscreen [19:41] trism: Thanks, just found an option relating to libnotify. [19:41] Kjele i have no idea [19:41] MPX: But it is kinda strange since you do not have other java installed [19:41] haha [19:41] MPX: i don't know if this will help, but you could try --> sudo apt-get install --reinstall openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin [19:42] probably a svn bug :D [19:42] I purged it all...now to apt-get install icedtea6plugin right? [19:43] MPX: sudo apt-get install ..if it says it's already installed, then try --> sudo apt-get install --reinstall [19:43] milo__: Have you tested with other browser? [19:43] java version "1.6.0_18" [19:43] Chrome still fails to detect java [19:43] I did ran purge pulseaudio to get my Spotify work in Wine, now my spotify works, but my sound on youtube etc doesn't work, can anyone help me fix this problem?

[19:43] And that's why I want to delete all traces of it [19:44] Flyingwatermelon: What did you try to do? [19:44] origin of MC and MR is undecidable for me!!!!

How do I reverse this command? [19:45] but when I put in a liveUSB 10.04, works [19:45] I guess you are stupid idiot [19:45] the actions made BECAUSE of MC and MR is also undecidable for me [19:45] ivo_: that's uncalled for [19:45] milo__: Do you have any plugin folder in ~/.mozilla? [19:45] and when I say works, I mean, it boots up into 10.04 and other usb devices are recognized [19:45] ivo_: do not persoanlly attack people. [19:45] but when I use the LiveCD, USB does not work [19:45] any guesses? [19:46] ivo_: thanks, that must be it. But then again I'm human. At least I'm aware and accepting of the fact.

[21:58] Alloeishus: sorry I missed your update, coulda saved you some time, glad you figured it out [21:58] now have to figure out the res [21:58] MrWise: definately not 64 support [21:58] so i've already added the old os in the new grub config, but it only gives me an error [21:59] DiEgoR, if you clone it it should boot already ~, if you copy it ~ do a grub install [21:59] royceremer; you mean defineatly not a 64bit processor [21:59] MrWise: correct [21:59] MrWise, i had a p4 3.2ghz, it didnt have VT extensions.

[22:18] wildbat, actually, I have opened the /etc/default/grub and there is nothing specific to the physical drive. Do I have to add anything specific to my new drive there? [22:18] LaPizza, your wired connection may have changed. when i upgraded mine changed from eth1 to eth2 [22:18] durt: it just works i guess [22:18] corpse: so what's the deal, what are the error's you're getting?

[22:18] LaPizza, you probably need to go into windows and look at the network settings and apply them to ubuntu's network manager [22:18] What packages do I remove that would completely remove gnome [22:19] durt they're set on auto [22:19] DiEgoR, that's what update-grub do~ and your update-grub should go to your new HDD /etc/default/grub [22:19] LaPizza: get up a terminal and type in ifconfig => and then ? [22:19] i need to reboot [22:19] to do that [22:20] so i had a working os with a working grub, than i installed a 2nd one which also brought grub with it and now my machine boots from this grub, but i wnat it to boot from the one i had first [22:20] LaPizza, you mean windows is set to auto-configure?

[22:21] LaPizza, then next time you boot into ubuntu, open the network settings dialog and make sure eth0 is set to 'auto'. [22:21] AlikeYou: installed alsa? what kernel are you running? $ uname -r [22:21] AlikeYou: alsa is pretty standard, so having to install it is strange [22:22] royceremer: I did a re-install, and it sorta worked but broke after a few hours.

Used linux for years as a server. Used most distros. But not as a desktop, not for long.

If you need to disable KMS, you can do so by booting with the nomodeset option. You can also save this setting so that it's applied at every boot by a [23:30] dding it to your grub config (for GRUB 2: edit /etc/default/grub and add nomodeset to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, then run sudo update-grub; for GRUB 1: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add nomodeset to the line beginning with # kopt=, then run sudo update-grub).
