[00:00] randal, get the files that you need and then follow the instructions. ITs for another boot sequence but you do the same things basically [00:00] xD [00:00] dawiisss: glad you got the gold though :) [00:00] trism: o sorry it's hard to see in chatzilla. ok so in previous version it was flashplugin-nonfree like debian, right? [00:00] You know before I msged here I was trying to fix it for 2 hours [00:00] hehe [00:00] dawiisss: its a massive weakness in package based systems [00:01] ye [00:01] dawiisss, what was the problem? [00:02] I couldn't remove flashplugin-nonfree package [00:02] kbar thanks ive been looking everywhere for this and eventrully gave up === TT is now known as Guest10264 [00:02] randal, do you ahve the files for the boot sequence? [00:02] Thanks a lot to all of you I need to go bye [00:02] s3a: exactly, they renamed it in jaunty to flashplugin-installer [00:03] kbar but if i can use any i would rather go to gnomelook and find a custom one [00:03] right randal. Good luck! [00:04] i need to change read/write permissions to a file but it says im not the owner.. [00:04] venom === neutrino is now known as tar- [00:04] open terminal [00:04] venom open terminal and cd to the directory. and then type chmod a+x filename [00:04] Is ken1 in here?

[00:04] trism: k, thanks :) [00:04] oh god electric sheep. you might want to uninstall right now Guest20334 [00:05] does anyone know how to change the style of the menu bars in gnome programs? my nautilus and xchat use the same style in the menu bars for some reason. [00:05] kbar, is it that bad? [00:05] kbar what other cool graphical programs do you recommend [00:05] yes Guest20334 its a known bug for chrome [00:05] Guest mine :p [00:06] is there anybody knows of a good guide on how to setup a pptp vpn server in ubuntu ? i've tried some of the available online guides but non working correctly, i'm on 10.04 TLS [00:06] kbar: so what do you recommend to make it look cool? [00:06] Guest20334, I recommend not install bullcrapware and using the regular chrome settings. [00:07] trism: Thanks for the tip earlier. Handbrake made it easy to rip a DVD and convert the video to a format which I can stream to an iPad. Now I have to figure out how to save the mp4 on the iPad for offline viewing which has nothing to do with Ubuntu. [00:07] kbar: can you run me through ti? [00:07] guest20334` i recomend to stay away from crome and use firefox XD [00:08] randal, chrome is better [00:08] erichammond: excellent, glad it worked for you [00:08] kbar, why is it beter [00:08] randal, oh lets see, support for html5, faster. need I say more? [00:08] kbar, i dont even know what html5 is :) [00:09] prova [00:09] randal, go use internet explorer [00:09] kbar can you log into yahoo mail with chrome on linux? [00:09] kbar, why would i use internet explorer [00:09] drake, why are you using yahoo? also you may need ubuntu-restricted-extras if yahoo mail uses flash, whcih I wouldn't be surprised if it does [00:10] ever since i upgraded to 10.04 I've been getting the following errors: "nfs: RPC call returned error 88" & "/mspfiles: RPC call returned error 88" (mspfiles being the nfs share). This happens on both of the systems that I upgraded to 10.04 but never used to happen. When it happens it's impossible to login to the server via ldap for about a minute, then it's fine afterwards. Is there a bug with nfs in 10.04? [00:10] that file a+x file didnt work :\ [00:10] kbar why isn't really an issue, I used chrome for a while on linux mint (I only use ubuntu for servers) and it didn't work. I wondered if it ever got fixed. [00:10] alsa sound in wine will play for a split second and die, anyone else get this? [00:10] drake, why are you using linux mint? [00:11] kbar I prefer taking guess work out of everything when it comes to my laptop. :) [00:11] you mean you prefer using stuff that the man hands you [00:11] Har har [00:11] kbar It was downloaded but sure. [00:12] my flamewar sense is tingling [00:12] :P [00:12] And ubuntu does not man handle you? [00:12] Go try Arch. [00:12] i know right [00:12] arch is awesome [00:12] any comment ?

[00:13] pft [00:13] My question was a geniune curiosity as to weather or not chrom fixed the bugs that it used to have or not. Not a flame that he uses chrome. I rather enjoy chrome and firefox.

[00:17] there is no apt, kpackagemanager or whatever running in the background, i even double checked ps -aux for processes [00:18] Of 10.10 [00:18] Craig_Dem: that's barely worth building right now, they recently released 10.04 xD [00:18] I got a bit excited after watching the keynote at UDS [00:18] I have a box to spare and test it. [00:18] Craig_Dem: my statement still stands [00:19] I can report bugs and stuff.

(both console or gui programs are ok) [01:08] genewitch: what generally is the difference ? [01:08] ociredeF: personally, I just plug it in [01:09] ChogyDan: ubuntu isn't doiong it that way [01:09] ifdown brings interface physicaly down ? [01:09] and ifconfig just drops conf ? [01:09] wieshka: ifconfig down doesn't run a script, ifdown requires a config file to be set up (usually automatically). I only know how to edit it in gentoo, not ubuntu === gonci is now known as inco6 [01:09] genewitch: i have used gentoo [01:10] genewitch: give me a hint maybe i will figure out [01:10] ociredeF: is this a new install? [01:10] ChogyDan: yes it is [01:10] I just came back from 10.04 cause I was having all kind of trobles with that [01:10] ociredeF: what version? [01:10] basicly ifdown runs if-down.d scripts [01:10] ChogyDan: 9.10 [01:10] allocated to that process [01:11] for example also on ppp connection [01:11] ociredeF: why didn't you install 10.04? === bunny is now known as Guest63445 [01:11] wieshka: it's chapter 3 of the gentoo handbook [01:11] ChogyDan: I upgraded to 10.04 but incredibly crazy things were happening on my pc with that === enthdegr1e is now known as drblarts [01:11] so I went back to karmic cause I had no problems with that [01:11] ociredeF: like what? [01:12] Anyone familar with udev? I'm on a livecd right now, and /dev isn't listing my partitions === neutrino is now known as tar- [01:12] ociredeF: did you try a clean install of 10.04 and still have problems? [01:12] ChogyDan: like my sound interface disappearing as I am listening to some mp3 [01:12] Hey, I have a clean install of 10.04LTS but when I boot up X doesn't autostart and when I run startx myself it doesn't start the network manager [01:13] genewitch: no new info about networking on linux in that chapter for me [01:13] ChogyDan: or the network manager never bnooting [01:13] genewitch / ChogyDan: seems related to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980629&highlight=only+root+can+read+dvd [01:13] mounting with unhide and uid=1000 (my uid) seems to have fixed it [01:14] drblarts: i recommend you try starting X with --> sudo service gdm start ..and see what happens [01:15] genewitch: I can't seem to find an answer specific to the PowerPC port of Xubuntu Jaunty. I recommend trying the PowerPC port of regular Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.1). [01:15] so anyone wanna tell me why ubuntu 10.04 hates me? [01:15] heh - i have figured out - written a bash script what connects to any wireless network if just ssid and key specified, but now my wireless interface also goes down if i shut down ethernet interface [01:15] :( [01:15] ociredeF: well, I don't know. I would check the media, and stick with 10.04. Try to deal with those bugs if you can. But that's just me. [01:15] austin987: sorry I am out of my element here :-( [01:16] no problem, figured I'd let you know in case someone else asked [01:16] julianc: I will try going back to 8.04 then [01:16] onetinsoldier: When I ran that a popup came up saying ubuntu was running in low-graphjics mode and I couldn't click on the ok button because there was no cursor. [01:16] ociredeF: I also have a separate partition to test on, just to make sure I don't upgrade prematurely [01:16] I'm assuming there may have been an update that changed the udev rules, but I don't feel like checking, have work to do [01:16] 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' lists 3 partitions, but 'ls /dev | grep sda' yields only '/dev/sda'. Any ideas of what might be wrong? [01:16] ChogyDan: oh [01:17] Guest63445: because you only searched for sda! [01:17] Jaspe1: there's people coming and going from this channel all the time. i, for just one, haven't seen a description of you problem. you should keep putitng in your problem description about every 10-15 minutes, rather than just 'can anyone tell me why ubuntu hate me' ;-) [01:17] putting* [01:17] Yes. Those partitions should be named '/dev/sda1', '/dev/sda2', and '/dev/sda3'. [01:18] drblarts: roger. what kind of video card do you have? [01:19] onetinsoldier: hates me...hehe [01:19] haha [01:19] I love linux [01:19] greezmunkey: hi! lol [01:19] i make typos all the time [01:19] Typos_King has the nick i should have ;-) [01:19] Oh snap, lemme check. [01:20] properties for a ntfs drive in nautilis are saying i am not the owner, but i am , wtf? [01:20] drblarts: ok, try --> sudo lshw -C Video [01:20] heh [01:20] Typos_King: :-) [01:21] there is only one user, that i set up anyway, how can i not be the owner? [01:21] a simple commands or two throws out windows boot loader and puts grub in [01:21] JoeSomebody: There are other implicit users. The ntfs drive is probably mounted as root. Try 'gksudo nautilus', and using that to browse the drive. [01:22] I got a link to do it, but its kind of above my skill level, hah [01:22] is there a secure way of accessing my nfs share over the internet? not via LAN? [01:22] or am i better off using scp [01:22] ok thx [01:23] I have an ATI Radeon X1300/1550 and some integrated nVidia GeForce 6150 LE [01:23] I shall google these. [01:24] drblarts: roger. not sure what to think with all those video cards in there. might need to disable one in the BIOS, or perhaps specify the driver and specific vid card in a custom made /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [01:25] billybigrigger: There are some decent solutions, but scp is the easiest to set up. You could also set up a secure FTP server. [01:25] what is a good antivirus for linux? i use ubuntu on a live usb and would like a good antivirus to scan windows partitions. i use the live usb as a troubleshooter for windoze computers' [01:25] karma_police: I like the kasperky online scanner [01:25] ClamAV, perhaps? [01:25] Guest63445, its all good, i set it up so i can ssh into one of machines from outside the lan, and i can access nfs over ssh or scp whatever i need to do [01:25] I didn't know there was anything other than clamav that you could install [01:26] just hope my ip doesn't change while i'm awaay :) [01:26] what files would i install if i wanted to alternatively log into a KDE session [01:26] billybigrigger, use dyndns.org and an automatic updating daemon [01:27] For normal windows installs I normally use Avira (or panda [which is behavioral] when the computer has the resources) [01:27] i was looking at clamav but have read it is junk compared to the other options [01:27] billybigrigger: homeip.net [01:27] how do i close a port? [01:27] karma_police: It is. [01:27] !ufw | kbar [01:27] kbar: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [01:27] karma_police: that's why I use kaspersky [01:27] So, fdisk lists several partitions on my hard drive, but only the primary device (/dev/sda) is listed in /dev, and none of its partitions. Any ideas? [01:27] xp system is asking for a password, but should not be, is there someplace i must specify a user name and pass? [01:27] is it fairly easy to install avg or avira in ubuntu? i'[m a noob [01:28] why [01:28] dont use them [01:28] JoeSomebody: it shouldn't be? [01:28] i am the same user on both , like i was in karmic, but it aint working like that this time [01:28] !av | karma_police [01:28] karma_police: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:28] Typos_King: He's trying to scan partitions. [01:28] windows didnt ask me for as user and pass before, how to fix that? [01:29] what about one that RPM's? [01:29] JoeSomebody: come again? [01:29] i am not worried about my linux getting infected.. i want something that i can use to fix windows partitions.. [01:29] i set up my share, and now i set up my permissions [01:29] JoeSomebody: post your smb.conf file please [01:29] JoeSomebody: #windows there's more ways to do that then there are holes in swiss cheese in a colander cap [01:30] talking about terminal and nautilis [01:30] karma_police: use a live-win32 cd to boot with, as far as Avira, they have a portable version you can run off a usb, also kapersky has a portable one too, which you can run in a live-cd session [01:30] nautilus? [01:30] OOOOHHHHH!!!!!! [01:30] wat u talkin bout [01:31] wat joo sayin [01:31] wat u say willis [01:31] Like what happens with nm-appletD [01:31] nm-applet? what about that drblarts [01:31] karma_police: http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ <--- it has a live-win2 option [01:31] !keyrings [01:31] hi fellows, how can i give execution permission (chmod 1 wathever) for any executable in a dvd or cd? [01:32] what is the best samba tutorial for ubuntu out there ? [01:32] !best [01:32] 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. [01:32] Ekathos: sudo chmod a+x FILENAME; [01:32] greezmunkey, i have only added 1 thing - usershare owner only = false [01:32] drblarts, there are tutorials that are 30 years old and ones that get updated constantly, quit being a douche [01:33] greezmunkey, i take it i need to add more than that? [01:33] i can't believe that the OtherOS is gone on the new PS3 [01:33] Ekathos: add -R to make it recursive [01:33] Typos_King lol you cannont write over a cd or dvd [01:33] JoeSomebody: are you gettin gthe pword prompt in windows accessing ubuntu or the other way round? [01:34] greezmunkey, prompt in windows accessing ubuntu [01:34] Ekathos: sooo, why are you asking to begin with? yes I thought about that too, then again, I thought you meant stuff you were going to burn [01:35] well the files laready be in a dvd or cd [01:35] hey i have just instlled lubuntu-desktop and i can't work out how to get rid of the sounds when i click anything. it's pretty annoying [01:35] JoeSomebody: do you have this line in your share section? valid users = user1 user2 {replace username as necessary} [01:35] greezmunkey, no prob accessing win machines from network in menu [01:35] Ekathos: reburning them with such permissions then [01:35] greezmunkey, no [01:35] in gnome-conf-pref the sounds is greyed out [01:35] what section? [01:36] Ekathos: Or copying the files to local disk, and changing the permissions there === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [01:36] well you konw less than me [01:36] ty [01:36] see you [01:36] JoeSomebody: it would be easier if you posted your smb.conf, otherwise stick it in global and restart smbd [01:37] posting [01:37] Ekathos: Mount with -o exec [01:37] http://pastebin.com/tXhxgTPG [01:38] My /dev directory isn't listing the partitions on my primary drive... any ideas? [01:39] Guest63445: and -> sudo fdisk -l; doesn't either? [01:39] but yeah can someone confirm something if its possible to (which im sure it is) this is linux afterall, to overwrite the windows boot and use grub [01:39] Typos_King: No, 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda' lists 3 partitions. [01:39] since thats the only thing I can do to salvage whats left of my computer lol [01:40] Does samba create shares over the WAN? [01:40] Guest63445: and that's wrong? [01:40] does anyone out there have Ubuntu running on a Playstation 3 [01:41] JoeSomebody: pretty stock, did you upgrade recently? [01:41] Typos_King: No, that's right. But my /dev directory only has an entry for '/dev/sda', not '/dev/sda1', 2, 3, so I can't mount them, etc. [01:42] clean install of new one [01:42] Does any one have Ubuntu Running on a Playstation3 [01:43] stond: How recently have you done a PS3 update? === neutrino_ is now known as tar- [01:43] stond give it time. [01:43] JoeSomebody: did you run smbpasswd -a for the username that you are logged into windows as? [01:43] can someone help me with md raid.. I had a 3 disk array, 1 drive failed, i now have a replacement drive and its refusing to let me add the new drive to the array [01:43] #reprap [01:43] greezmunkey, no, i'm pretty green :) [01:43] hey guest63445 are you talking to me [01:44] hi [01:44] Holy mackarel, it's mr ubuntu himslef! [01:44] JoeSomebody: man smbpassword - you want to make the user the same as your xp login, password too. [01:44] Yes, that's why I prepended my message with "stond:". [01:44] man smbpasswd, sorry :) [01:44] just type smbpasswd -a ? [01:45] Oh I did not see that anyway I have firmware 3.15 on my PS3 and refuse to update because I dont want to loose Other OS option [01:45] @stond: same [01:45] How much disk space should i leave for ubuntu desktop version ? [01:45] then you cant play the latest games online === Guest81309 is now known as James3 [01:46] stond: I read that they are going to reverse their decision to remove otheros, but can't say for sure. [01:46] anyone verse with SAmba? [01:46] er Samba? [01:46] apparently not [01:46] I dont really care about playing the latest games online because I play mostly RPGs === Cain` is now known as Cain [01:46] @greezmunkey: My tech teacher said that Sony was removing the other-os option because they could be held liable if someone bought a PS3 and used it to sniff network packets or something. [01:46] yes Zelda, but i have bigger probs of my own atm [01:46] what i mean is , i'm going to install ubuntu desktop version on my laptop , and there is about 100 GB i have unpartitioned , i dont know how much to allocate or leave for ubuntu [01:47] greezmunkey, what is the syntax? [01:47] James3: Do you know if you can create shares that are accessible over the WAN? [01:47] because it's a small self contained unit and could be easily used for that. I'm skeptical though. If that were the case, people would use nettops. They're smaller and cheaper than PS3's. [01:47] guys any help ? [01:47] NMFTM: yeah, who knows - the net is full of rumors [01:47] Northwoods: Do you have something else you want to use the rest of the 100g for? [01:48] in short yes, but why would you want to put a samba share on the internet? [01:48] Guest63445: I have to use it for windows [01:48] greezmunkey, got it and it works now THANK YOU [01:48] to keep dumps [01:48] i have windows vista already installed [01:48] why install Ubuntu on your PS3? Isn't Yellow Dog the way to go? It is optimised for Power architecture after all. [01:48] JoeSomebody: man(ual) is pretty handy, huh :) [01:48] Northwoods, how much would you need for Windows? [01:48] @NMFTM the real reason Sony removed it is that they are scared that the PS3 is going to be hacked through the Other OS side [01:48] Northwoods: It really depends on what you're doing on each OS then. If you're storing lots of vids, etc. on one, leave most of it for that partition. [01:49] hey [01:49] Northwoods: I would allocate at least 20GB for the smaller of the two, though. [01:49] @stond: if someone hacked the PS3 and used it to play pirated games. if anything taht'd probably help the PS3 lol, because nobody is buying it to play games on. [01:49] Guest63445: Only one partition is required for ubuntu , right , and i can create drives out of it ? [01:49] I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my PS3 right now [01:49] i am trying to do a shared partition between my Ubuntu and WinXP.. would NTFS be a suitable file system? i am also trying to put my /home directory in it [01:49] that's probably why the Dreamcast lasted as long as it did. [01:49] and it is great [01:49] James3: True, thats why I was asking. Should I just create an SFTP server? Wouldnt that be easier? [01:50] Zelda: what do you want to be able to do? [01:50] greezmunkey, got a link to the manual? i am currently on gettting started pdf [01:50] anybody got a clue? === thb|Ou7 is now known as thibow [01:50] and i got impatient :) [01:50] Northwoods: You also need a swap partition, but this can be relatively small (1GB or so is plenty, usually). You can partition your drive with a LiveCD. [01:50] Guest63445: So if i leave say 80 GB for ubuntu , that would be enough ? [01:51] Create a server that people need user accounts to back up files/share over the WAN [01:51] JoeSomebody: what manual? Samba? [01:51] I thought Sony only allowed you to allocate about 10GB to "other os"? [01:51] adnan, that works for me this a dual booted system right? [01:51] So like an OpenSSH or SFTP server. [01:51] Northwoods: Plenty, probably. The operating system itself uses up only a few gigabytes. [01:51] Guest63445: rest of it i can use for partitions in ubuntu [01:51] NMFTM: that is true and really that is all you need [01:51] JoeSomebody: here's a couple of decent links: http://www.prash-babu.com/2008/05/how-to-setup-samba-in-linux.html http://linux.bihlman.com/tag/samba/ [01:51] cbone, yeah [01:51] greezmunkey, ubuntu and samba manual i guess [01:51] hey guys, the startup disk application is hung on my machine, and I'm not sure hwo to close it [01:51] adnan, I just have ubuntu mount the NTFS whenever i login [01:52] my /home will be in the NTFS shared partition [01:52] hello everyone. Does anyone know EXACTLY what depedencies frostwire has? [01:52] Guest63445: what is liveCD , i'm downloading .iso desktop from website, then will write it on a CD [01:52] cbone, what does mounting do exactly? [01:52] Saik: No, what are you trying to do? Why dont you just install it? [01:52] because when i loook in my file browser, i see the partition as another hard drive [01:52] adnan: allows you to access it [01:52] that i can access [01:52] yep [01:52] so i guess its alreayd mounted then? [01:52] to be able to read and write to it [01:53] Today I built my own kernel, but after building and before rebooting i went to uninstall my nvidia driver but it stopped 2/3 of the way though and said "Install Archives failed" I reboot and when I try to reinstall it it give the same message. I am stuck at 1024x768 [01:53] oh ok [01:53] Northwoods: That is the LiveCD. It runs a small version of Ubuntu that allows you to test out the system, partition your drive, install ubuntu, etc. [01:53] Zelda: I have installed ot, 4 times.. it doesn't want to pop up and rn, which makes me assume it's som dependency not bein met [01:53] probably already mounted ubuntu does a good job mounting drives as soon as you try to use them [01:53] when i right-click it, i have the unmount option, so .. lol [01:53] and rebooting to the old kernel doesn [01:53] t work [01:53] Saik: Try rebooting. [01:53] Guest63445: Gotcha , thankyou [01:53] Zelda: it also gives some error about Java, but java is installed [01:53] alright im gonna go see how i can move my /home dir [01:53] thakn you cbone and Zelda [01:53] Saik: What version of Java? Open? [01:53] @saik: is Java installed or the IcedTea java thing? [01:54] Zelda: I have done that too, it has been installed for at least 48 hours, and been rebooted multiple times [01:54] I think you either need the official Java or would need to modify some things to get it to work with the open source java that is in the Ubuntu repos. [01:54] Saik: then remove frostwire, and reinstall [01:54] Because I went to install Frostwire a little while ago and it said I needed the official Java. [01:54] Zelda 1.5 and 1.6 I believe NMFTM: the sun-java*-bin (jre) packages [01:55] Saik: you use from the terminal sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre? [01:55] Zelda: apt-get remove, or apt-get purge? [01:55] Saik: rm [01:55] Zelda: rm on what? [01:55] I don't think Sun Java is in the Ubuntu repos anymore, I didn't see it. I just DL's it from the website. [01:55] frostwire [01:56] or you mean remove and didn't want to type it out? [01:56] ooooohkay, I'll try this. I'm trying to get my xbox to connect to the internet through my laptop which is running kubuntu. I've tried brige utils and modifying the interfaces file: [http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html] [01:56] NMFTM: it is. sun-java6-jre [01:56] Zelda, Saik: Use openjdk-6-jre instead [01:56] Guest63445:negative, thats horrible. [01:56] but it didn't work, maybe I configured it improperly. But firestarter hasn't been working either. [01:56] anybody have any clue how to go about this? >_> [01:56] Zelda: How so? [01:57] guest63445: Why? [01:57] any on got XBMC working on there PS3 [01:57] Anyone recommend a DVD mirroring package for Ubuntu besides dvdcopy and k9copy? dvdcopy can't handle any protection, and I don't want to re-encode or compress, just strip encryption and add to media server as-is. [01:57] Zelda: it's a ~600 mhz processor with 128 ram, I doubt they'll be using anything having to do with java other than frostwire [01:57] Why use opensdk when you can use the normal one? [01:57] @Zelda: I have all the repos enabled and I see no "sun-java6" package or anything like it. [01:57] Today I built my own kernel, but after building and before rebooting i went to uninstall my nvidia driver but it stopped 2/3 of the way though and said "Install Archives failed" I reboot and when I try to reinstall it it give the same message. I am stuck at 1024x768. Rebboting into an older kernel doesn't work [01:57] Zelda: Because sun has stopped all development on their implementation and are supporting openjdk as the official implemantation. [01:57] NMFTM: Run that from the terminal [01:58] Guest63445: Oh, i did not know that [01:58] ciao, problema wireless [01:58] oh, so OpenJDK is the official Java now? [01:58] has anyone got XBMC working on a PLaystation3 [01:59] !it | simona [01:59] simona: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [01:59] NMFTM: if you run sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre it will install [01:59] simona: portueguese? [01:59] NMFTM: Basically, although the official switch doesn't happen until java7 [01:59] usb startup disk creator keeps hanging on my machine at 100% [01:59] is there some sort of udpate for it or something? [01:59] dan2: give it a few minutes [02:00] Saik, the whole window pane is grayed out when I minimized and brought it back up [02:00] @Zelda: "Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:00] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [02:00] is only available from another source" [02:00] Zelda: so I need openjdk-java6-bin? [02:00] !partner | NMFTM [02:00] NMFTM: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ RELEASE partner" » where RELEASE is lucid/karmic/etc [02:00] dan2 I suggest you use usb-imagewriter instead it is 100% better [02:00] NMFTM: That means you dont have the backports Unsupported sources not checked [02:00] I recently installed 10.04 and when I booted I installed the ATI drivers (from a popup). How can I find out which version of the ATI catalyst drivers I have installed?

We are all over the internet right now [03:15] yes [03:15] rotfl [03:15] i know but the chatroom is moniterd [03:15] stond ok =] [03:15] koshari: ah.. i got it.. it is /var/lib/gconf/defaults [03:16] hello, say I want to tar/bzip a directory with maximum compression how would I do that on the command line? [03:16] !ot | steven [03:16] steven: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:16] hi all, anyone is experiencing problems with multiple monitor support in ubuntu 10.04 ? [03:17] windows (via easybcd) can't see grub. i dont think grub is installed. i did sudo grub-install /dev/sda5, and it says it was successful, but easybcd still can't boot into ubuntu [03:17] magik I tried to send you a screenshot of my desktop [03:17] #ubuntu-offtopic [03:17] stond upload it to tinypic [03:17] When I start the system with external monitor plugged in everything runs smooth, but when I plug the external source while the system is already running I can't make it work :( [03:17] godricbrutus: just got in. running triple OS hackintosh. what's your prob. [03:17] xomp, tar -cf - junk > junk.gz [03:17] ok just a sec [03:17] =] [03:17] acerimmer_: windows (via easybcd) can't see grub. i dont think grub is installed. i did sudo grub-install /dev/sda5, and it says it was successful, but easybcd still can't boot into ubuntu [03:17] pure_hate, thanks but does that do maximum compression on the directory? [03:18] acerimmer_: os x can't see it easy [03:18] acerimmer_: i mean either* [03:18] xomp, you should look at rar, it compresses more than tar [03:18] Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I've been having: my cd drive worked last week, but now, mysteriously, it has stopped working. Have you guys ever heard of this? [03:18] godricbrutus: so win7/osx/ubuntu then? [03:18] acerimmer_: yes [03:18] pure_hate, what about bzip? [03:19] godricbrutus: so you win7; does it also have a recovery partition (Dell does) [03:19] xomp, tar cf - dir/ | bzip2 -9 > archive.tbz [03:19] acerimmer_: i can boot into windows and os x fine via easybscd, but the ubuntu part of it wont take. i can boot into ubuntu using 'super grub boot' [03:19] acerimmer_: no it doesnt have one. it's a custom oc [03:19] unop, cheers :) [03:19] xomp, Just do both [03:20] pure_hate, tar doesn't compress (by default) actually - unless you use a filter like gzip or bzip [03:20] acerimmer_: i deleted the 'system reserved' partition for 7 [03:20] godricbrutus: got it. I'll share the tutorial i posted on setting mine up. that said, my grub SHOWS osx but won't boot it. [03:20] unop, I am aware of that [03:20] acerimmer_: ok, ill give it a try [03:21] rar is still better compression [03:21] magik are you there [03:21] pure_hate, well, the command you gave him didn't apply any filter. [03:22] godricbrutus: ok here tis. FWIW, it's still running strong. no crashes on any of the OS. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=212837 [03:22] unop, your right I forgot the second part === l is now known as Guest26103 [03:22] are you there magik [03:22] unop, is it possible to upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04?

[03:23] xomp: Yes, but not directly. You need to go 8.10 > 9.04 > 9.10 > 10.04 [03:23] How do I extend a command on more than one line? [03:23] mouka: \ [03:23] Flannel that not true [03:23] OK [03:23] thanks [03:23] stond: Yes it is. [03:23] you're welcome [03:23] in anycase I would still use rar [03:23] rar a -m0 junk.rar junk [03:23] I didnt [03:23] Flannel, ouch, I'm thinking of upgrading my Ubuntu VPS to the latest but I have so many websites running off of it that if the upgrade should have problems it would mean months of work for me :/ [03:23] stond: 8.04 can be upgraded directly to 10.04, but 8.10 isn't supported [03:24] superjoe: depends on how the DHCP server on your network is set up. [03:24] I went to 8.10 staight to 10.04 [03:24] superjoe: what line? [03:24] thats what I meant sorry [03:24] xomp: You should stick to the LTS releases (8.04, and now 10.04), since you can upgrade every ~2 years (and they're supported for 3 or 5) [03:24] all I know is that if I comment out everything except the "nameserver" lines, my dns resolving is much faster [03:24] When I start the system, ubuntu 10.04, with external monitor plugged in everything runs smooth, but when I plug it while the system is already running I can't make it display anything :( any fix for that ? [03:24] Flannel, is there a way to find out what version I have? I know it's 8 something but am not sure [03:24] I was using 8.04 then went to 10.04 [03:24] xomp: lsb_release -a [03:25] xomd there is a easier way [03:25] stond, that kind of direct upgrade is not supported [03:25] Description: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS [03:25] dd [03:25] yay I have LTS :) [03:25] unop yes it is [03:25] superjoe: in resolv.conf - what kind of lines are being added?

[03:26] I think that takes two upgrades. [03:26] that takes forever T.T [03:26] lol [03:26] jasper: If two takes forever, one takes half-forever :) [03:27] IdleOne, after I have a backup, how would I initiate the upgrade to 10.04? [03:27] jasper: just do a fresh install then, it's faster anyway [03:27] acerimmer: i [03:27] I had to get a new HDD and im doing it all from scratch.

Also, enter a second server 8.8.8.8, and a third 4.2.2.2 [03:33] superjoe: obviously the access points ip would be first. [03:33] Okay, guys, a guy I'm helping has the strangest problem! It's eluding me. [03:33] Since upgrading to 9.04 I have noticed that the process 'find' is running a lot. Is that normal? I thought it was one of those tasks that runs nightly?

How do you use SSH to do VNC for instance instead? [04:00] Stormx2, im up to the point of checking for installed dependancies. It doesnt see openal for some reason with LDD [04:00] Greezmunkey. I always when I boot up my xubuntu i always open two terminals and join my two favorite IRC servers. But I'm a pretty lazy guy and i was wondering.

[04:02] Its pretty kool [04:02] I've been using linux for a toal of 3 months, I'm dual booting [04:02] IMTheNachoMan: You should get boot logs by default. Try `dmesg` or have a look in /var/log/messages [04:02] magik: opening the irc on start would be a function of irssi, and can easily be done. Ubuntu Gnome can be "instructed" to open programs when gdm starts. I don't know about xubuntu, but it can probably do it as well.

[04:08] well, It started with the bug #424511 [04:08] anyone know what europium.canonical.com is and why my ubuntu server is accessing it? shorewall is blocking it [04:08] hi [04:09] IMTheNachoMan, time server (according to first google result) [04:09] Hi would someone tell me what is the type for the variable computer_icon_name for the key /aps/nautilus/desktop [04:09] edbian: My Ubuntu has the bug 424511, I solved (temporarly) but, then, I haven't any image working [04:09] how can I copy a file into an inexistant directory (so I would like to create the directory while copying the file into it) ? [04:09] still cant get it to work [04:09] Stormx2: ah, ty [04:10] Fandekasp, Are you scripting or something? I think you have to create the folder first :( rsync but sort of wrap it up all neat and clean in one stop. Not sure though. [04:10] easybcd can't boot into ubuntu. i tried sudo grub-install --force /dev/sda5, but it still doesnt boot into ubuntu. [04:11] venky_: It's empty on my system, but I'd assume it's a string if you wanted to set it [04:12] xomp did you figure it out [04:12] edbian, yes, it's for a challenge. It should be possible, an attribute that I don't know [04:12] Stormx2: haha, havent seen you here in a while [04:12] godricbrutus: I can't remember ever having seen you! [04:12] thanks Stormx2... However, it is displayed as integer here on my PC when using gconf-editor [04:12] Stormx2: just sent you an IM [04:12] Fandekasp, I don't think it is... I ran into the same problem for a little program I wrote a couple months ago. I had to create the folders first. If you find another way please let me know! [04:12] but gconfd expects it as a string and throws an exception. [04:13] stond, can you please stop highlighting my name? I have it figured out man.. it's upgrading as we speak. A bit annoying with all the name highlights... :/ [04:13] Fandekasp: uucp can do that, but it has been *years* since I used it last. [04:13] godricbrutus, my smoking buddy is asleep. I want to watch the new Fullmetal Alchemist but he'd kill me if I didn't watch it with him. So I'm killing time until he wakes up.

[04:14] how can I start the wireless network manager? [04:15] rather, how can I access it; it's already running [04:15] venky_: it's an integer for me too, but I suspect that's just because it's empty by default. [04:15] I am signing off people talk tomorrow [04:15] g [04:17] anybody know how to access the wifi manager? [04:17] I can't get to the systray icon cause my systray is garbled [04:17] or is there a way to access the wifi manager from terminal [04:18] greezmunkey, oh ok ..

[04:19] Anvoid, That is something you would have to write yourself but players like banshee have simply programming languages that make that easier. Like boo. [04:20] Fandekasp: I didn't say it was going to be easy, and that it has been years since I used it last. Please read into the manual, or find another method. Good luck. :) [04:20] edbian: alright, thank you! i'll try to extend w/ python thru plugin [04:21] Anvoid, Good luck! Sounds like fun! :) [04:21] ths anyways greezmunkey :) [04:21] hk [04:21] Hi, I'm trying to access the KDE desktop session thing, but when I try and log in with it all I get is a black screen, how do I fix this?

[04:28] yeah [04:28] mf2: when you type 'ps ax|grep gnome-screensaver' in a terminal it doesn't yield anything? [04:29] The only problem is we can only make changes on campus, and they block IRC Ports, I know for a fact we have disabled all the screen savers, the power management services. The thing I suspect that could be doing it is the Open Source ATI Driver for it. [04:29] mf2: take a look through this, see if it helps any: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html [04:29] mf2: or X... [04:29] mf2: Maybe its the screens themselves :? [04:30] definitely not the screens, we have checked the logs and it is the Machine blanking them. [04:30] WarCthulhu, the screens should only turn off if the machine asks them to [04:30] what logs? [04:30] mf2: perhaps it's DPMS? http://www.randombugs.com/linux/disable-monitor-standby-xorg-xserver.html [04:31] hey guys whats the name of the network statistics applet [04:31] that is the logs it appears under the xorg logs [04:31] wenas!!!

Thus the fact we did not install Hamachi to get at them whenever we need access. [04:33] xomp: do `ps aux | grep upgrade` and see if it's running [04:33] xomp: I don't believe it would be [04:34] ps aux | grep upgrade [04:34] root 26398 0.0 0.1 1692 496 pts/0 S+ 07:33 0:00 grep upgrade [04:34] hello guys, complete buntu noob here, i need help with fixing an issue i have with desktop cube. when i try initiating the effect the whole screen turns dark... ??? is there a way to tweak ccsm to show the normal desktop cube.... it's also the same thing with expo [04:34] I should install screens and do it again heh [04:34] xomp: yeah, I would.

The actual sound card has no detailed information (even from Device manager in windows (where it PnP's)), nor does dmesg (that I can see). Any ideas? [05:22] meowbuntu: md5sum is the command i recall. [05:22] Is there any way to make a emerald theme transparent [05:22] Stevethepirate: try --> lshw -C Sound [05:22] randal_: the emerald theme manager lets you do all sorts of things. You can tweak existing themes, and even make new ones. [05:23] Only shows the onboard @ onetinsoldier [05:23] merma, hmmm the cfg looks fine [05:23] randal_: emerald is basically a dead project. [05:23] Stevethepirate: roger. don't know then. if lshw doesn't show it, then it doesn't exist :P [05:23] !xdcc list [05:23] meowbuntu, in terminal navigate tot he directory with the .iso file then type md5sum nameoffile.iso [05:24] thanks all [05:24] onetinsoldier: Doesn't lshw just parse data from /proc/ ? So if there is no driver loaded for some hardware, it won't detect at all? [05:24] Dr_Willis: do you think those are the correct options ? : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades#The%20Debian%20way%20of%20upgrading [05:25] merma, you boot the PC with the SHIFT hold hold down right? and it run all the way to ubuntu w/o menu? [05:25] Stevethepirate: you can try... 'sudo lshw | less' and have a look through everything. see if there's anything you didn't see before. in x-windows, you can also use 'gksu lshw-gtk' (but you might need to install lshw-gtk first) === eva88 is now known as pynchon [05:25] kpoman: no idea. i always do a clean install. [05:26] Dr_Willis: ok, no problem ... I think I will try that one [05:26] wildbat, i pressed shift during the bios loading process, and waited a bit [05:26] Stevethepirate: you might know more about how it works than i do [05:27] Stevethepirate: i suppose 'hardinfo' works the same way, or i'd recommend try it i suppose [05:27] Nothing detected that isn't accounted for. [05:27] onetinsoldier, renamed both, no effect :O [05:27] merma, keep it hold down until a menu or it start loading ubuntu [05:27] Stevethepirate: this sound card shows up in MS Windows though eh? interesting [05:27] wildbat, ill try again [05:28] julio: roger. you could go to drastic measures short of reinstalling [05:28] wildbat: so hold the space bar from power up, is that supposed to get you into the grub menu? [05:29] "Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC" listed under Keyboards. ^_^ [05:29] apparently do-release-upgrade does the job [05:29] greezmunkey, i think is shift never tried spacebar thou [05:30] Hey guys - I did something with my installation that makes windows 7's bootloader say bootmgr is missing - what can I do? :/ [05:30] any1 know how one might be able to slipstream a lubuntu install into ubuntu from command line?

[05:31] bazhang: ty [05:31] wildbat: reason I ask is because I tried (both shift, and space actually) on a machine Fraiday and got nothing - but there may be deeper issues with it. Thanks, I'll leave you be. [05:31] Rioprofano, /join #ubuntu-es [05:31] help [05:31] greezmunkey, you have a solution yet? yo_ seem to be the case now [05:32] julio: you could go to drastic measures short of reinstalling fresh and clean, which to me, would be.. to exit out of X-Windows.. at virtual terminal do the following --> rm -rf .cache .config .gconf .gconfd .gnome2* .icons .local .nautilus .themes ...or something of that nature. you probably get the idea [05:32] julio: or create a new user. [05:32] yo_, if your trying to get the boot menu to show, directly after the bios screen displays, press the spacebar or the esc key (10.04) and it will display the menu (if it doesnt hang) [05:33] going to try hat [05:33] that [05:33] julio: yeah... what bastidrazor said.. test out a new user. see if your theme icons work ok for newly created user [05:33] wildbat: well, that's a machine I installed server on last Friday. It wouldn't boot without the install cd, so I think the grub install failed. I didn't have time to mess with it, and will get inot it on Tuesday. [05:34] s/inot/into [05:35] greezmunkey, oh ~ yo_'s one do boot but won't have a menu show for him to boot to win7 [05:35] greezmunkey, you can reinstall grub then in that case [05:35] Zelda: you still here?

[05:37] jasper: xubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu-offtopic, ubuntu-packaging, ubuntu-devel? [05:37] wildbat: perhaps a console graphics issue from grub?

[06:06] emergency === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [06:07] you rock, followed the guide you gave me, typed it in as fast as possible thought 100% i did it wrong, [06:07] Squarism: means that /usr/bin/rename was installed by some script that came in package is my guess, and not by an actual package [06:07] wifinot: not to mention this pc barely runs xubuntu, compiling would take hours [06:07] TyanColte: whats wrong? [06:07] Squarism: and of course, i would guess it would be a perl script [06:08] is there anyway I don't have to run xrandr stuff [06:08] every time I login? [06:08] Saik_: what about http://www.phex.org/ its similar to frostwire in capabilities [06:08] I added them to my .xinitrc but it has done nothing [06:08] wifinot: but is it similar in how it works/looks? [06:08] Squarism: i let out *not* [06:08] this isn't my C, I'm fixing it for someone [06:08] Squarism: means that /usr/bin/rename was *not* installed by some script that came in package is my guess, and not by an actual package [06:08] pc* [06:09] Saik_: it should be the same in how it works, it supports themes and its options are more advanced === goomba is now known as Guest22275 [06:09] i have a friend that just installed ubuntu on a separate drive and has a raid0 (striped) array on his with his windows partition, he set grub to use his main drive and it won't recognize his windows partition due to the raid setup. [06:09] Squarism: nvm, i had it right the first time. i think it's bedtime for me, lol [06:09] hey everyone. is there anyway to get the default theme thats used in xubuntu? its not in the firefox theme section [06:09] does anyone know how t sync pictures/videos onto an ipod touch in ubuntu? rhythmbox handles music syncing perfectly but i cant find any apps that do pics/videos [06:09] Saik_: both programs connect to the g2 p2p network and both support encryption [06:10] what about that gnu-gnutella one or w/e it's called? [06:10] can compilers for perl/java/etc... be d/l from the repositories? [06:11] Saik_ gnu-gnutella is g2, g1 has been pretty dead for a while [06:11] Question: When installing from a LiveCd, is there a way to prevent certain packages being installed? [06:11] onetinsoldier: you don't have rename on your system? [06:11] how to disable vsync on ubuntu 10.4? [06:11] greezmunkey: yes. however, it was not installed by a package! [06:11] anyone knows? [06:11] !pin | theadmin [06:11] theadmin: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [06:11] wifinot: Sorry, I don't really understand that one and how can it help [06:12] wifinot: it's java based? (phrex) [06:12] theadmin: doesn't the alternate install cd allow you to pick and chooes what you want installed? [06:12] MangueBoy: nvidia control center has a check box for that [06:12] Saik_: yes, so it should be VERY similar, its more cleanly programmed so it should work with your java [06:12] Squarism greezmunkey: ls -l /usr/bin/rename --> /usr/bin/rename -> /etc/alternatives/rename [06:12] onetinsoldier: do you have apt-file installed? [06:12] Saik_: and it supports Java 1.5< [06:12] greezmunkey: I preffer the Live install (so I can test it before I put it on my machine, so nothing goes wrong) [06:12] Hi all [06:12] in boot os I got ubuntu and did upgrade and now it doesnt boot into my windows [06:12] I got partition [06:13] onetinsoldier: what on earth is rename? :/ Don't you just use "mv file1 file1-renamed"? [06:13] greezmunkey: yes, and i've been using to search for this [06:13] wifiot: java wouldn't be the smartest thing with this pc [06:13] Squarism greezmunkey: ls -l /etc/alternatives/rename -> /usr/bin/prename [06:13] I know that gutnella from ages ago worked fine, but I can't remember what it was called === kpoman_ is now known as kpoman [06:13] rename is often NOT the command that people are thinkng they want to use. :) [06:13] Dr_Willis, don't use nvidia [06:14] anyone know how to change the resolution of the boot splash screen? [06:14] MangueBoy: this is when it pays to give more details in your wuestion. [06:14] wifinot: I know that gutnella from ages ago worked fine, but I can't remember what it was called (sorry, i keep forgetting..) [06:14] Saik_: gtk-gnutella also should work and thats not java [06:15] theadmin: yes, i do. but Squarism is wondering why the rename command in ubuntu is a perl script as opposed to the one in red hat, which behaves differently [06:15] Dr_Willis, humpf [06:15] wifinot: I'll give it a shot [06:15] haha [06:15] any way to make grub see a windows raid 0 array drive? [06:15] Saik_: ok, sorry i couldn't be more helpful in fixing the java problem with frostwire [06:15] I have a server with two network interface card,I want my internet should be controlled by the server ie I will connect my internet directly from eth0 and the output of eth1 to be the router and need to control the internet ie as a gateway server [06:15] while installing ubuntu 10.04 [06:15] please let me know how to do ti?? [06:15] Saik_: also checkout iplist from sourceforge if using p2p on g2 [06:15] wifinot: no worries [06:16] wifinot: any way to make grub see a windows raid 0 array drive while installing 10.04? [06:16] luckymurali: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing for internet sharing [06:16] wifinot, thanks I take alook on that [06:16] TyanColte: sorry, i have never messed with raid, but i saw google stuff on it today [06:17] TyanColte: with regards to grub2 [06:17] wifinot: mind linking me if you remember the location? [06:17] TyanColte: sure, let me give a look around [06:17] wifinot: thanks i really appreciate it [06:17] wifinot: what iplist? [06:19] TyanColte: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287151 but you will probably have to enter it manually into the config as per the link [06:19] !iplist | Saik_ [06:19] Is JDK somewhere in the repos? === shai is now known as manare [06:19] Saik_: yes, it filters media giants from your ip traffic, like RIAA [06:19] does anyone know how to sync pictures/videos onto an ipod touch in ubuntu? rhythmbox handles music syncing perfectly but i cant find any apps that do pics/videos [06:19] !iplist [06:20] hi I'm wondering why my privoxy installation (from repository) randomly causes problems loading webpages === manare is now known as shai [06:20] Anyone know why I can connect to a wireless network but the internet won't work yet it works fine on a Windows installation? On Ubuntu 10.04 [06:20] theadmin: you can search by apt-cache search java jdk in terminal [06:20] psycho: can you go to applications -> accessories -> terminal and type in ping google.com to see if it will ping?

The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ RELEASE partner" » where RELEASE is lucid/karmic/etc [06:22] psycho: i would check "ifconfig" in terminal to see if you have an IP, you can also, in terminal, run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" to restart networking, and ping google.com to see if you have DNS support [06:23] is there a possibility to configure dhcp-server to only answer dhcp requests on a certain interface (ex: if my machine has interfaces eth1/eth2/eth3 i want to configure the server to only answer requests from eth2 and ignore requests coming in on eth1 and eth3; is that possible?)

[06:29] nmvictor: you could go to applications -> accessories -> terminal, and type iwconfig to see if ubuntu is registering your wireless card (then lshw -C network if it is not) [06:29] !puregnome > curt_ [06:29] curt_, please see my private message [06:29] * clint- leaves [06:30] curt_: clarify what you mean. === kpoman_ is now known as kpoman [06:30] Hi, people Im using ubuntu 10.04 (amd ) after yesterdays updates the apperence of my desktop is reverted to the old gnome look, I have tried changing the apperence but it does not help [06:30] i have an unsed digital tv box, but no cable service other than the basic channels. is there anything cool i can do with the box? [06:30] hm. Netbeans provides a about 47 mb installer with a .sh extension. That means it's a shellscript, how can that be so big? [06:30] gost, try in ##hardware [06:30] never mind i just solved my own problem [06:30] hey dr willis, someone has already helped me but i want to get rid of everyhting that got installed when i installed KDE ( for instance ic an no longer change my mouse pointer) [06:30] did some one install the latest ubuntu lucid updates [06:30] what do you think about ubuntu [06:30] kk [06:31] thinkpad: It's awesome, and that's why we're all here [06:31] thinkpad, this is not the chat channel. try #ubuntu-offtopic [06:31] i have a problem with firefox closing all open windows whats wrong with it [06:31] all i have to do is to install grub to the same drive that ubuntu is installed on (the one without the raid0) and then set an option in the windows bootloader to load grub when selected [06:31] ubottu: puregnome | curt_ [06:31] curt_: the mouse pointer not changeing is a gnome bug i recall. I normally have to change it and logout/back in - even on a total gnome system [06:31] curt_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal [06:31] genius [06:31] oh my god [06:31] wfinot: it says it's ancient, but then it won't update either? [06:32] When I close Gwibber to the system tray/messaging menu, it regularly does not restore when I click on it (Broadcast). I have to kill the process and restart Gwibber. [06:32] wifinot: it says it's ancient, but then it won't update either? [06:32] saik3: are you referring to gtk-gnutella? [06:32] wifinot: yes [06:33] who can speak chinese [06:33] Hmnh. The !puregnome factoid is misleading, the command given does not just remove KDE (altough stated to do so) [06:33] saik3: thats an okay error, but if you want the most recent version, you have to download it from their website as the ubuntu package is not the most current [06:33] where does archive mounter mount iso?

Have fun troubleshooting! :^) === kpoman_ is now known as kpoman [06:37] curt_ : btw did you install yesterdays updates [06:38] hey i dont know how to respond directly to you, i dont think i installed any updates recently [06:38] !raid [06:38] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:38] that bot is smart as hell [06:38] Is there any modern telnet BBS software avaliable for Ubuntu? [06:38] !botsnack [06:38] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [06:39] i just downloaded a .pkg.zip and im not exactly sure how to install the file [06:39] hrm. Does Netbeans require the JDK or no? [06:39] !raid on two disks in a kickstart/preseed [06:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:39] !redhat does it [06:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:39] can anyone tell me how?? does the default archive manager handle .zips? [06:39] supercom32: proberly are. You did check the package managers search feature? [06:39] When I close Gwibber to the system tray/messaging menu, it regularly does not restore when I click on it (Broadcast). I have to kill the process and restart Gwibber. Is this a known issue or is there a known fix? [06:39] orangeglo: yes. if you've installed the zip and unzip packages [06:39] curt_ : well i got some updates last night around 110 mb and after installing them im stuck with the old gnome look [06:40] hi, i use ubuntu10.04 now.when i type ifconfig eth0, there's no ip shows, how can i find my ip? [06:40] orangeglo: i believe it defaults to deflate decompression [06:40] flreey: www.whatismyip.org [06:40] onetinsoldier: what are some good apps that can unzip files? [06:40] flreey: try --> ip addr [06:40] orangeglo: file-roller [06:41] thanks, but is there any command to show my ip? [06:41] orangeglo: file-roller or ark [06:41] theadmin: Yes, netbeans needs the jdk. Theres a download right from sun that includes both. [06:41] flreey: try --> ip addr [06:41] Doyle: Um, and if I download it from netbeans.org? [06:42] onetinsoldier: i tried downloading ark but it said that it was coming from an unsecure address [06:42] Dr_Willis: Yes, I did, but I only see one for qterm. No other alternatives? [06:42] thanks [06:42] wifinot: I think it is registering the card, infact I have been using it except today, [06:43] orangeglo: strange. you might want to have someone look at your /etc/apt/sources.list [06:43] file [06:43] bazhang: ty [06:43] theadmin: from netbeans, last tim eI did it, the java package came with the download [06:43] Doyle: Great ^_^ [06:43] nmvictor: you tried restarting the computer already? [06:44] nmvictor: you should go to alt+f2 to terminal and type ifconfig to see if you have gotten an IP [06:44] nmvictor: you can alt+f2 and sudo dhclient to renew your IP address if its a 169.x.x.x [06:45] can you run compiz through wubi? some ppl say yes.. [06:45] bricky: Of course you can [06:45] @ onetinsoldier , xmms2-client-cli is fail. [06:45] theadmin: sweet.. I followed this guide you think I screwed myself? [06:45] onetinsoldier: did you get everything back to normal? [06:45] Stevethepirate: bah! how come? [06:45] orangeglo: yes :-) [06:45] bricky: a wubi install is identical to a normal install except for it's slower and can't hibernate [06:46] onetinsoldier: what was up with it? [06:46] theadmin: cool :D [06:46] im stuck with the old gnome look after some updates can someone please help ? [06:46] im having a problem with pure-ftpd. my root folder for a user account is /home/userftp/username. i have all my harddrives mounted to the same directory. when i log into my server it does not show any of the drives, and when i create a directory from a remote computer to the ftp i cant see it on the server [06:46] onetinsoldier: I dislike it. :/ Sorry. . [06:46] is that link correct? or should I maybe not have done that, [06:47] orangeglo: i have a few of those x-cursor-themes that i has successfully installed for other folks so i know i can get them to work. but i haven't installed any of them since my fresh reinstall and therefore, i have tired that Wii cursor theme yet. but i probably will soon ;-) [06:47] anyone know how to get the amazonmp3 downloader on 10.04? [06:47] tried* [06:48] onetinsoldier: let me know how that goes ;) id love to get that theme working haha [06:48] Stevethepirate: roger. no worries. i've never tried it. just thought it might worth a try for you [06:48] anyone using lxc now in lucid?? [06:48] andi [06:48] orangeglo: roger. if i'm around tomorrow or the next day and you're here remind me and i'll go for it === traveller__ is now known as traveller [06:48] ndisgtk just freezes when i open it, do i have to restart after installing it? its a blank dialog box (empty rather) looking like its prepared to load (but neer does) [06:49] can I run container with older kernel in lxc ?? [06:50] orangeglo: what i'll do is install one that i know i got working fine, then try following the exact same procedure for that Wii x-cursor-theme. if that doesn't work, then it's something wrong with the theme itself [06:50] onetinsoldier: cool stuff. hey so i got that .zip unloaded and it turned into a .pkg. how can i get it to work? [06:50] onetinsoldier: oh ok. that makes sense [06:50] orangeglo: the file inside was a .pkg file? [06:51] onetinsoldier: yes [06:51] orangeglo: i believe .pkg are for slackware distributions, ubuntu is a debian based distribution, you can always from to execute it in terminal with chmod +x *.pkg && ./*.pkg [06:51] anyone knows about LXC?? [06:51] i install virtualbox, my virtual box can connect to the Internet now, how can i find the virtualbox's ip?i want to ping to my virtualbox.i use --> ip addr, it shows :vboxnet0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [06:52] So I deleted my home partition accidentally using gparted but I haven't rebooted yet. [06:52] Anyway I can save myself? [06:52] psych: search apt-cache search recover data [06:53] orangeglo: try what wifinot said. i've never had one of those types of files before. i have had some .package files though. wonder if their different. [06:53] psych: if you have hit apply its gone, but there might be programs to recover it by searching that [06:53] ndisgtk just freezes when i open it, do i have to restart after installing it? its a blank dialog box (empty rather) looking like its prepared to load (but never does) [06:53] flreey: check the vbox manual on how it does its ip address. it can be on its own internal 'network' so it only has a private ip# thats accessable by the serving machine only. OR you can configfure it where it has an external ip. [06:53] Aye this could be a long, long, night [06:53] wifinot: hmm i tried opening it in terminal and it said that the file didnt exist, even though i read it right out of my downloads folder :\ [06:54] orangeglo: be sure you got the name right? Case Is InporAntAnT. [06:54] orangeglo: in terminal, cd Downloads, then try those commands [06:54] thanks, i will try. [06:54] orangeglo: Just a tip, in terminal, you can use the TAB button to autocomplete to help ensure you have the filename correct. [06:55] Okay, after experimenting and going through guides, I give up doing it alone. Can someone help me get my sound running? Just installed Ubuntu 10.04, I know speakers work because they worked in Kubuntu and Windows before this, but now not in Ubuntu. [06:56] Anakhoresis: Pulse or ALSA? [06:56] Anakhoresis: i hope someone has a better solution than the one i used, but i downloaded the sourcecode to pulseaudio and compiled it myself, type !compiling for more information and !pulseaudio [06:56] Doyle: I honestly have no idea what those two are, but the guide I was going through was for ALSA and while according to the guide, I should have everything working fine, it's still not working. [06:57] Anakhoresis: You did check the simple things first? like the alsa-mixer tool to make sure the sounds are not just muted/turned down low. [06:57] Anakhoresis: This may be a shock, but guides online don't work 100% most of the time... not without some giggering [06:57] Doyle: i believe pulseaudio comes default with ubuntu 10.04? [06:57] if you just installed ubuntu 10.04 it's pulse audio most likely [06:58] Pulse Audio has been in ubuntu for some time now. [06:58] Dr_Willis: Yep, alsamixer is reading everything at 100%. [06:58] Pulse Audio uses alsa. :) alsa is the actial 'drivers' i guess you can say [06:58] onetinsoldier: yeah, np just looking for someone who has tried out a few :) [06:58] wifinot: Pulseaudio is my choice, ALSA gives me soggy brains [06:58] Stevethepirate: roger that. keep asking! [06:59] Anakhoresis: But yes, Basics first. Check sound control: Volume. Check Hardware: Cables, power and Volume knob. [06:59] im out ya'll, off to bed [06:59] hi, privoxy is dramatically slowing down my internet browsing [07:00] onetinsoldier: heh, did you find the source of rename? [07:00] is it normal to have a 50% loading speed loss [07:00] Doyle: Volume controls are all at 100%. It's an EeePC laptop, so not much I can do about those parts, but I installed Ubuntu, when sound didn't work, reinstalled Kubuntu just to check, everything worked, and now back to Ubuntu and it doesn't work again. [07:01] is synaptic an app that has a GUI? [07:01] orangeglo: yes [07:01] ff88: im about to leave, but in the /etc/privoxy folder, the config file can be editted to allow data to pass without check, speeding the browsing experience, change the /etc/privoxy/config area from its default [07:01] greezmunkey: not exactly. perhaps i could try harder though!

[07:03] Doyle: I used the terminal, it finished installing. [07:03] greezmunkey: yep. it's the same with a lot of stuff in /etc/alternatives [07:03] onetinsoldier: crazy complicated [07:03] greezmunkey: anyway, it's installed by 'perl' [07:04] hi. i am relative new to ubuntu. installed ubuntu as a internet gateway at my school, for the whole network. but there are machines which keep sending spam emails and viruses, especially of students that plug in their laptops, or bring their own usb data sticks. are there some tools to find these errant machines when they join the network? [07:04] Whats the most powerful/best FTP software for ubuntu? [07:04] ncftp and filezilla [07:04] onetinsoldier: yeah, found that: RCSfile: rename,v Revision: 4.1 Date: 92/08/07 [07:04] greezmunkey: yeah. you should see what i've gone though to get some x-cursor-themes installed for people in Lucid. had to jump through a number of hoops as x-cursor-themes uses the /etc/alternatives [07:04] !wma [07:04] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:05] onetinsoldier: yikes! [07:05] Hello , the LDD command doesn't recognize I have a library installed that I know i do have installed. I think I may have to create a virtual link somewhere but I'm not sure from where to where. I don't know where the library's .so file is. Where does LDD look for? Can I just add the library to LDD's cache?

To clarify, I can set a command to run at a set time and I want it to play a random song. [07:07] anyone know how / where i can get a Windows Media Audio 8 decoder for radio (down) streaming from? [07:07] Anakhoresis: sorry, door. [07:07] i dont really get how to work Synaptic. I went to file/add downloaded packages/opened my pkg and now what do i do?? [07:07] Anakhoresis: from the terminal type 'alsamixergui' and the mixer should launch [07:08] orangeglo: .pkg is not an Ubuntu package. .deb is. [07:08] electrohouse: wow, what you need is a box that is purpose built to do that, like the ebox: can be problematic through: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/884-ebox-manage-your-linux-server-froma-web-page- [07:08] theadmin: i thought you could open a .pkg with Synaptic though... [07:08] switchgirl: try gstreamer.. and all its plugins. it works fine with wma codecs [07:09] i tried that [07:09] orangeglo: what does this command show? file [07:09] Hello everyone [07:09] hi! === vikas__ is now known as vikas [07:09] bonjour [07:09] hi [07:09] i have a problem in ubuntu [07:09] I'm trying to run blkid in jaunty, but it says that it isn't installed and that i have to install e2fsprogs, but that is already the newest version. I already installed libblkid1 and the -dev too. Is there a way to install it or another way to get the uuid's for my partitions?(so i can use it in fstab) [07:09] BasisBit: You could choose a filename quite easily using a shuffle and then head -n 1 or something. Bash-foo will help you do it. [07:09] greezmunkey: let me check.. the gateway is set to block all traffic like smtp etc, cept for http, and https, but there's a lot of random network activity which i would like to cut out [07:09] where can i get the plugins from and why on earth are they not there from the beginning? [07:09] onetinsoldier: command not found [07:09] acpi is not working [07:09] Anakhoresis: [07:09] how to record online tv streaming on firefox [07:10] orangeglo: you don't have the 'file' command? [07:10] hey guys, I have problem with my touchpad. It does not function after I login to desktop. How to solve this? [07:10] onetinsoldier: says ERROR cannot open (no such file) [07:10] Doyle: Alright, it's up. It hadn't installed the first time, oddly, had to reinstall it. [07:10] onetinsoldier: sorry i didnt see file >.< [07:10] my display monitor doesn't work with ubunut [07:10] it is lenonovo [07:10] Guest16970, get some plugin [07:10] Anakhoresis: how's it look? sliders make sound come out of magic box? [07:10] orangeglo: ok, what i mean is.. file /path/to/ [07:10] switchgirl: the plugins arent there, because of licensing issues. i found out a bunch of them from from a ubuntu website.. [07:10] not sure where i found them though [07:10] the problem is with HDMI cable [07:11] Stevethepirate: thanks a lot! [07:11] Doyle: It's got two sliders, Master and Capture, both are at 100%. No sound. [07:11] onetinsoldier: ERROR cannot open. no such file [07:11] let me check it, greezmunkey [07:11] how do you make the red font come up is there a certian thing you have to do or just have a specific persons name in your response? [07:11] orangeglo: go into the directory where you download the .pkg file [07:11] orangeglo: then run the 'file' command on it [07:12] electrohouse: if you are going to allow machines within your private network to establish connections to the general internet, then you can't really do that - not without a proxy server with a ruleset that you control allowing access to some sites, and dissallowing to others... [07:12] what program i will use to record? [07:12] onetinsoldier: how do i run a command to it? you mean just type in the file name? im not exactly sure how to do this :\ [07:12] Any body knows how configure HDMI in ubuntu [07:12] greezmunkey: i dont want sites to be blocked. i want malware content to be filtered. and identify which are the infected machines on the network [07:12] acpi is now working any other suggestion for system check === kpoman_ is now known as kpoman [07:13] greezmunkey: with ubuntu and squid installed,it takes care of incoming traffic, but i am looking at intranet traffic analysis to find patterns [07:13] orangeglo: yes.. just type in file followed by the name of the .pkg file [07:13] Anakhoresis: ok, from the Synaptic package manager, search for ffmpeg [07:13] switchgirl: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:13] Anakhoresis: if it's not installed, install it [07:13] any hot girls here? [07:14] onetinsoldier: sooo weird. im looking right at it, and it still says no such file or directory [07:14] meshug: This isn't an appropriate channel for that [07:14] orangeglo: what do you get from? ls -l [07:14] greezmunkey: the gateway setup is working perfect. what i need is a logger/ and network traffic analysis software [07:14] lol === meshug is now known as meshuggah [07:15] xD [07:15] onetinsoldier: no such file or directory [07:15] Doyle: Okay, getting it now. [07:15] sound? [07:15] what program i will use to record? [07:16] Doyle: Okay, I have ffmpeg now. [07:16] electrohouse: Wireshark is what the network guys at my place use [07:16] orangeglo: i don't know. you'd have to show me the name of the file, and then the exact command you tried. [07:16] Anakhoresis: any sound yet? === curt_ is now known as GuyCanada [07:16] electrohouse: if you are using ethernet switches then all you will see is broadcast traffic, unless you can rig up a monitor port (read port mirror) that somehow will let you "see" what's going on. What you are looking for is along the lines of rmon, or such. I doubt you can do that short of installing a sniffer utility of some sort on every machine on your network. [07:16] onetinsoldier: its ok. its nothing too important [07:17] nickname change command is fairly intuitive ahah [07:17] Doyle: Still nothing. [07:17] electrohouse: you might check out 'iptraf' [07:17] !info iptraf [07:17] iptraf (source: iptraf): Interactive Colorful IP LAN Monitor. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.0-7 (lucid), package size 160 kB, installed size 728 kB [07:17] orangeglo: ok [07:17] Anakhoresis: OK, time to get serious... Stealing this command from someone else. 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa [07:18] onetinsoldier: im gonna head to bed. see you around soldier [07:18] onetinsoldier: he want's to monitor internal LAN traffic that may or may not be connecting to or through his gateway box. [07:18] Anakhoresis: then test it [07:18] orangeglo: ok, take care! g'night [07:18] Anakhoresis: then do a 'sudo apt-get update [07:18] greezmunkey: perhaps 'mrtg' then? [07:18] onetinsoldier: can i install iptraf on a machine and it can take care of traffic through 2 gateways? the school has 1 linux gateway, and 1 hardware based router/gateway for backup [07:18] onetinsoldier: like he wants to be an uber-sniffer :) [07:18] Anakhoresis: then 'sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) [07:19] greezmunkey: hehe :) [07:19] i dont want to be uber-sniffer! [07:19] Anakhoresis: replace uname with your user name [07:19] i just want it to tell me which machines are infected [07:19] if i get the IP addresses of the machines, that is good enough [07:19] Doyle: 'uname' in that example is a command... not the users name [07:19] onetinsoldier: mrtg - single point reporting, try again. [07:19] iptraf is what i use and i think it's great [07:20] hey guys, I have problem with my touchpad. It does not function after I login to desktop. How to solve this? [07:20] btw, i'm using 10.04 [07:20] electrohouse: you didn't clarify that you only were concerned with traffic flowing through your gateway. [07:20] but yeah, single point. don't know [07:20] electrohouse: Dr_Willis good catch, I use uname in my documentation so its automatic for me to say "use your own user name". Anakhoresis , see this? [07:20] electrohouse: that's easier by far :) [07:20] mhh... i have 10.04 installed [07:20] Doyle: Yep, working on it now [07:21] but no "add-apt-repository" command :/ [07:21] Anakhoresis: supercool [07:21] does "add-apt-repository" in 10.04 lts server exist? [07:21] Doyle: the $(command) syntax is similer to `command` (backticks) but its easier to read. [07:21] tarnap: does that command exist in 10.04? yes... [07:21] greezmunkey: well, ideally, i was looking not to touch the gateway, cos it is working perfect. was thinking to add another machine to analyze traffic on the lan, and throw up suspect IPs. that i would have set it to email me [07:21] tarnap: I believe it's apt-add-repository [07:22] tarnap: Oh, it seems that it's both. [07:22] tarnap: what Flannel said.. it's apt-add-repository [07:22] electrohouse: now we are back to what I was going on about. [07:22] Dr_Willis: BASH has made me loath backticks. Thanks for the tip [07:22] onetinsoldier, Flannel: none of them work on my shell :/ [07:22] greezmunkey: but, if you are able to tell me some light software that runs on the gateway, then i'll go with that [07:22] tarnap: one moment [07:22] hehe, as long as it doesnt take me a lot of time to configure [07:22] electrohouse: iptraf! as others mentioned :) [07:23] i see... i have to install "python-software-properties" first :/ [07:23] greezmunkey: but iptraf just gives me the traffic,. does it analyze it too? like for malware signatures? [07:23] tarnap: try --> sudo apt-get install python-software-properties [07:23] tarnap: do you have python-software-properties installed? (apt-cache policy python-software-properties) [07:23] haha... onetinsoldier, Flannel i was faster ;) [07:24] I'm having uber audio issues here. First I couldn't play audio from more than one app at a time, then I could, now I can't again... [07:24] Anyone know how to fix? [07:24] Using 10.04. [07:24] Doyle: Okay, it's finished. No sound, or do I need to restart === allerdyce is now known as yerber [07:24] Doyle: *restart? [07:25] Anakhoresis: yar, I'll be here when you get back [07:25] electrohouse: no, no analysis. THat would be a anti-virus application, anti-spam application - there may be something like that available, but I don't know of one that's freeware GNU. [07:25] tarnap: yeah.. i'll have to beat him one of these days :-) [07:25] greezmunkey: ok. [07:26] My Dell Inspiron 700 m with ubuntu karmic is not reading the SDCARD which I insert into the integrated SD Card reader [07:26] i got the uuid by ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ instead [07:26] electrohouse: check out ebox though, if you can get one running well it may help with some of that. [07:26] !info clamv [07:26] Package clamv does not exist in lucid [07:26] greezmunkey: currently, the gateway has a decent traffic analysus thing though. using ntop [07:26] joljam: my inspiron 1720 doesn't read it either. I spent a few hours trying to fix it and then I gave up. [07:26] !info clamav [07:26] clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.96.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 313 kB, installed size 576 kB [07:26] greezmunkey: so if i get ebox running, i'll have to use that machine as the gateway, right? [07:26] electrohouse: ntop is ok. ebox, yeah [07:27] Guys how to install J2EE and configure it?? [07:27] Or should I install Netbeans?? I heard that it includes j2ee sdk [07:27] Anyone have experience dealing with the whole ASLA/Pulse not wanting to let multiple apps use sound issue? [07:27] i moved my home folder to another partition so i have space to upgrade to karmic to upgrade to lucid [07:28] what is j2ee? the java jdk? [07:28] which is the file in which I can comment out the line referring to the cdrom and usb.... [07:28] electrohouse, jdk is the j2se [07:28] electrohouse, I want sdk for j2ee [07:28] Doyle: Hurrah! Sound! The log in sound is not quite what I expected, I must say... Thank you very much for your assistance! [07:28] greezmunkey: perhaps electrohouse should have a look at 'clamav' [07:29] I'm trying to compile an old program and it's wanting the x11 include stuff. Where would I find that in lucid? [07:29] Anakhoresis: Were you completely lacking sound, or just having conflicts between apps? [07:29] Razion: Completely lacking sound. [07:29] Anakhoresis: Ah. Damn. [07:29] onetinsoldier: probably, I'm not up to speed on that one. I've heard some good things though. [07:29] Anyone have experience dealing with the whole ASLA/Pulse not wanting to let multiple apps use sound issue? [07:29] greezmunkey: roger [07:29] whats a good irc client for ubuntu? im using konversation right now shich is nice but obviosuyl it doesnt fit well with the theme of my non KDE desktop, a lot of the other clients i saw looked unpolished [07:30] GuyCanada: XChat. [07:30] Anakhoresis: SWEETNESS [07:30] xchat and lopster [07:30] solved [07:30] Anakhoresis: any time [07:30] Doyle: Fix my audio now? xD [07:30] Flakeparadigm: might not be available in Lucid, or at least in regualr Lucid repository. can you give one of the filenames? [07:30] Guys how to configure firewall?? [07:30] Doyle gets a +1, and I'm off to watch a movie. Finally! :P [07:30] Razion: I only support hardware, no humans [07:30] iptables howto [07:30] should I install gufw for that?? [07:30] Doyle: Touche. :P [07:30] !gufw | Krishnandu [07:31] !ufw | Krishnandu [07:31] Krishnandu: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [07:31] enjoy Anakhoresis , you earned it [07:31] diff b/w iptables and ufw?? [07:31] Krishnandu: yeah, i use gufw [07:31] You'd think 10.04 would come with the ability to handle more than one program using sound... [07:31] onetinsoldier, then what is iptables?? [07:31] Krishnandu: it's a frontend for iptables [07:32] onetinsoldier: now I know why I heard of it - looks like it's mainly for scanning email - one of my customers uses it. [07:32] onetinsoldier, okies u mean ufw is front-end for iptables [07:32] Krishnandu: yes [07:32] onetinsoldier, and gufw is the graphical interface for ufw [07:32] Krishnandu: you got it, exactly [07:32] onetinsoldier, okies [07:32] :) [07:32] Thank you === juju2143 is now known as [J] [07:32] greezmunkey: ahh, roger ;-) === klunka is now known as Guest56120 [07:33] Krishnandu: you're welcome [07:33] is editing fstab helpful for detecting SDCARD [07:33] onetinsoldier, what do you mean "one of the filenames"? [07:33] onetinsoldier, can u guide me how to install j2ee?? [07:33] Anyone have experience dealing with the whole ASLA/Pulse not wanting to let multiple apps use sound issue? [07:33] Can I turn of the scroll thing on the trackpad thing on a laptop in ubuntu? [07:33] *ALSA, even. [07:33] onetinsoldier, or should I just get netbeans?? I heard that it comes bundled with j2ee sdk [07:33] onetinsoldier, so just a jdk will do [07:34] is there a way to do it? [07:34] How do I tell if my Ubuntu 10.04 is a 32 bit OS? [07:34] Krishnandu: can't help with that at the moment, sorry [07:34] onetinsoldier, okies np :) [07:34] Flakeparadigm: you're trying to compile something, correct? [07:34] i was pretty sure i had registered my nicname but freenode is saying please register my nicname, is that jsut something it says to everyone? [07:34] Hi guys [07:34] onetinsoldier, yes [07:35] I have a pretty a pretty critical problem [07:35] if you give it your password, it will be happy, GuyCanada [07:35] WarCthulhu: uname -m [07:35] hello folks [07:35] thats the thing i didnt need to enter my password when i logged in, perhaps i failed to register correctly? [07:35] im new to irc [07:35] I can't install a piece of software due to it being 32-bit [07:35] And I'm running 64-bit [07:35] i [07:36] it can't access a shared library called libqt3-mt.so.3 [07:36] even though it is there [07:36] Flakeparadigm: ok, when you are compiling, you've probably noticed some message(s) along the lines of.... /usr/X11/include/Xaw.h no such file or directory [07:36] GuyCanada: maybe. you can do /nickserv register password email to register your nickname again. if it is already registered, then you cant, or it will register. it sends an email, before the nick is registered tho8gh [07:36] ok thanks [07:36] oh, and it's not a DEB operation, it's a bash script installation [07:36] so it doesn't bother to check for dependencies [07:37] Flakeparadigm: seen anything like that during the compile? [07:37] onetinsoldier, "Checking for X... Configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!" [07:37] that's where ./configure quits [07:37] so basically; is there any way to make a 32-bit applicaion aware of a 64-bit shared library? [07:38] Flakeparadigm: roger. hang on a moment. don't know that i'll be able to figure this out either. but looking.... [07:38] maybe chroot it? [07:38] i've upgraded from koala, to lucid, without errors shown, after reboot it 1) doesn't show grub menu 2) hangs on "checking battery state [ok]" (it's a PC!! and no, i have a nvidia gpu, but not installed the proprietary drivers). What's wrong? [07:38] onetinsoldier, good luck [07:38] ahh ive figured it out, i jsut needed to identify myself, strange it let me use the nicname wihout identifying first tho no? [07:38] What could cause drag & drop to fail within GNOME ? Each time I try to (i) Move a file into a folder, (ii) Move the icon of a file/folder or (iii) Drag a link into a gnome-terminal etc, I get a animation of the file/folder "returning" back to where I first clicked and dragged. I'm using Gnome packaged with lucid. [07:38] what is the diff b/w apt-get and aptitude?? [07:39] Patric4: do you own the file, and both locations - have permissions to do that? [07:39] what is the diff b/w apt-get and aptitude?? [07:39] onetinsoldier, if this helps, here are the locations the ./configure script searches : http://pastebin.ca/1874713 [07:40] Krishnandu: If you man apt-get and man aptitude, you see that apt-get is a low level frontend to package management, whereas aptitude is highend. [07:40] Although a lot of users use them interchangably. [07:40] Stevethepirate, hmm [07:40] Stevethepirate, okies..!! Thnx :) [07:40] * greezmunkey has no aptitude for Aptitude [07:40] greezmunkey: Yeah - it's system-wide too (i.e. it affects other users on the box) [07:40] i've upgraded from koala, to lucid, without errors shown, after reboot it 1) doesn't show grub menu 2) hangs on "checking battery state [ok]" (it's a PC!! and no, i have a nvidia gpu, but not installed the proprietary drivers). What's wrong? [07:41] Whats the best GUI based ubuntu FTP server around? [07:41] Patric4: can you move a file from one of your home directories to another - try it. [07:41] Flakeparadigm: do you have this package installed? xorg-dev [07:41] supercom32: totally depends on your needs. [07:41] Patric4: directories within your home, sorry. [07:41] Dr_Willis: I need something which can do byte/ratio for users [07:42] greezmunkey: Not using the GUI but can via the command line [07:42] Dr_Willis: However, I'd like something with a GUI admin because it's simpler for me. [07:42] any help? [07:42] supercom32: vsftpd is a good ftp server. check for web-based consoles for administration [07:42] greezmunkey: If it helps, the "hand" doesn't change when you hover over the target icon (like I think it should) [07:43] onetinsoldier, no I did not. I didn't see that when I was looking for -dev packages. Installing it now (I totally overlooked xorg and just searched x11) [07:43] supercom32: A ftp server normally wont have a 'gui' - there are numerous gui front ends to differnt servers out there. I dont use any. I perfer to use ssh/scp [07:43] Flakeparadigm: roger. you might want to also install 'xutils-dev' [07:43] Patric4: hmmm, try it this way once- in a terminal type gksu nautilus & - and hit enter. Try the same operation within your home directory again. [07:43] onetinsoldier, alright.

[07:44] onetinsoldier, alright, that worked. thanks a ton! [07:45] Flakeparadigm: cool! you're welcome [07:45] The target folder doesn't change at all (e.g. highlight etc) when you hover over it. [07:45] Patric4: I am at a loss - it could be permissions within gdm, but I don't know, sorry. [07:45] greezmunkey: Yeah - it's a weird one [07:45] any answers on my SDCARD problem [07:47] i've upgraded from koala, to lucid, without errors shown, after reboot it 1) doesn't show grub menu 2) hangs on "checking battery state [ok]" (it's a PC!! and no, i have a nvidia gpu, but not installed the proprietary drivers). What's wrong? [07:47] Patric4: when did this start? What happened before this became a problem? [07:48] hello [07:48] !hi | EvaLuaTe [07:48] EvaLuaTe: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [07:48] joljam: see if this helps: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-mount-sd-card-on-ubuntu-536646/ [07:49] does anyone else experience this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/587429 ? I would really like to install usplash because it seems that without it my boot and shutdown splashs are borked. Any help please? [07:49] How can I find out my computer's name? For example: etc, etc.... === cintaniea is now known as shecantik [07:50] greezmunkey: I was messing around with fonts and ran a dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config (Not sure how this would result in this symptom though). It's a pity nautils doesn't take a debug level - I was hoping to get something interesting on stdout [07:50] davidov009: cat /etc/hostname [07:50] davidov009: you mean as far as windows is concerned? [07:50] Hi guys, I get this shared library error whenever I try to open a certain program, any help? the error message is: ./ZMC: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open object file; no such file or directory [07:50] In ubuntu. [07:50] Patric4: no doubt. [07:50] even though I have it [07:50] Thank you EvaLuaTe. [07:51] That worked. [07:51] EvaLuaTe: try just hostname [07:51] boodroscotch: you recently installed that lib? If so you may need to run 'sudo ldconfig' [07:51] greezmunkey: with that command he now also knows where he can edit it :) [07:52] anyone know of a good way or plugin to get autosaving features enabled in Kate? [07:52] Dr_Willis: nope, didn't work :( === cintaniea is now known as shecantik [07:52] boodroscotch: and where is this lib located at? It could be its not in the default lib paths [07:53] EvaLuaTe: seems like i've heard bad things about 'usplash' in Lucid 10.04. think the replacement is 'plymouth'. i could be mistaken [07:53] EvaLuaTe: anyway, i use plymouth [07:53] Dr_Willis: it's in /usr/share/qt3/lib/ [07:53] onetinsoldier, I've never been able to get usplash to install [07:53] EvaLuaTe: yeah, or hostname mynewhostname works too :) [07:54] untmdsprt: in Lucid 10.04? i don't doubt it [07:54] onetinsoldier, yes [07:54] rgr [07:54] Dr_Willis: could the problem arise from this application possibly being 32-bit only? it wasn't a DEB operation that installed it. [07:54] I'm gahy. [07:54] onetinsoldier: well, plymouth doesn't seem to work for me (I just get random pixels at shutdown and boot instead of a proper splash). Any idea what could be wrong? [07:54] boodroscotch: you may need to add that path to one of the /etc/ld.so.conf or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ files [07:55] i love tah cock. [07:55] boodroscotch: 32bit libs I thought went in a spefcific location on a 64bit system [07:55] omy [07:55] lol [07:55] Debian roxz ur cawk [07:55] lulz [07:55] EvaLuaTe: what does this command show? ls -l /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth [07:56] look man.

Is there better ones? [07:57] EvaLuaTe: did you upgrade to 10.04, or install clean [07:57] irssi, pidgin? [07:57] bet he upgraded ;-) [07:57] untmdsprt: !irc [07:58] onetinsoldier: me too, I had the same issue - went away after installing clean. [07:58] onetinsoldier: it's a ATI HD 5650, the driver is fglrx afaik. greezmunkey: it's a fresh install of ubuntu (I always prefer to freshly install). === radar3d is now known as radar3d|Zzz [07:58] untmdsprt: theres dozens of irc clients out there for linux. [07:58] greezmunkey: roger that. probably a way to fix it without reinstalling. but i must say, i'm not certain what it is [07:59] well, i would have lost the bet then [07:59] * wiretapped apologizes for rubin110 being an ass [07:59] Dr_Willis: hmmm...didn't work.... [07:59] Dr_Willis, such as? [07:59] EvaLuaTe: wow, maybe a graphics mode being passed by grub that your card doesn't like - would be my guess. [07:59] (we're in a bar) [08:00] EvaLuaTe: random pixels eh? hmmm. do you have the following file? /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:00] Dr_Willis: is it because the folder is full of symlinks? [08:00] Flannel: thank you for getting rid of mr. rubin [08:01] untmdsprt: fire up the package mnager search for irc. It all depends on your needs. Xchat works great for most people. I use WeeChat [08:01] greezmunkey: I checked grub but it looks fine. Also, I installed usplash with dpkg -if and after that I got a proper splash at both shutdown and boot, but I couldn't upgrade anymore (because of usplash) so I was forced to remove it. [08:01] onetinsoldier: yes I do. [08:01] boodroscotch: what folder? Normally one adds a new path to the ld.so.conf file and reruns 'sudo ldconfig' (you did rerun ldconfig?) === fork is now known as forkup [08:02] EvaLuaTe: other than that your system works fine? [08:02] greezmunkey: yes. [08:03] I've got a Ubuntu question if anyone is available [08:03] greezmunkey, onetinsoldier: also, I forgot to mention that this wasn't like this from the start. The splash screen is only borked since I installed splashy' [08:03] untmdsprt: If you like the terminal and want irc open 24/7, try Guake Terminal and run the Terminal irc client irssi. [08:03] EvaLuaTe: now you mention it XD [08:03] I removed it and also remade the initrd image, but it still doesn't work === kpoman_ is now known as kpoman [08:04] Dr_Willis: yep, I reran it. [08:04] EvaLuaTe: roger. i'm not certain. it's a little beyond me. i was thinking this might help, although i kind of doubt it. it solved the big ugly plymouth boot logo for me after installing the 'fglrx' driver, and gave me a nice large resolution in my VT's. but i never had random pixel problem [08:04] http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=2&ved=0CBUQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.softpedia.com%2Fnews%2FHow-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml&rct=j&q=Lucid+10.04+Big+Ugly+Plymouth&ei=aF8DTK_uGpKENP6_sTs&usg=AFQjCNFn6yZgbk4DpxdyYI9SL_5YCsOkaQ [08:04] onetinsoldier: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Can anyone help me? [08:05] EvaLuaTe: but yeah.. usplash has caused your current problem [08:05] just as a general question, what do u think the size of wikipedia is? [08:05] all of its articles [08:06] artypig78: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to ask that [08:06] Ubuntu 9.04 accesses wifi right after installation but Ubuntu 10.04 does not. Why? [08:06] onetinsoldier: ok, I'll try that. Thank you very much :) [08:07] EvaLuaTe: i wouldn't really try it until you've fixed the usplash problem [08:07] onetinsoldier: what usplash problem do you mean? [08:07] every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ubuntu? https://answers.launchp [08:07] ad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 [08:07] EvaLuaTe: does this command show anything? ls /etc/init.d/*splash* [08:08] hey guys i installed picasa just now but nothing happens when i click it what should i do ?? [08:08] Ubuntu 9.04 accesses WIFI right after installation but Ubuntu 10.04 does not. Why? [08:08] onetinsoldier: yes, i get: /etc/init.d/plymouth-splash === DaZ^ is now known as DaZ [08:08] EvaLuaTe: you said you didn't have a problem with plymouth until you installed usplash, correct? [08:08] EvaLuaTe: ok... that file could be a problem [08:09] bluelf run from terminal and look at error [08:09] wifinot: you there? [08:09] hi [08:09] onetinsoldier: no, it wasn't usplash, it was splashy. But, like I said, I removed that package and remade the initrd image, so I guess that shouldn't have left anymore marks behind... [08:09] `it says 3881 Segmentation fault [08:09] #zftalk [08:09] Ivis, it says 3881 Segmentation fault [08:10] EvaLuaTe: roger. nvm mind what i said about the file in /etc/init.d i was mistaken. that file is fine [08:10] Dr_Willis: Ubuntu 9.04 accesses WIFI right after installation but Ubuntu 10.04 does not. Why? [08:10] onetinsoldier: ok, let me try to do the stuff that's posted on the link you gave me. I'll come back at you if the problem persists. :) thanks for now. [08:11] Ivis, this is exactly what i get ?? why is it saying .exe smthg [08:11] vishal: You mean drivers are not installed? or it dosent auto-connect? [08:11] EvaLuaTe: i doubt it will fix it for you, but good luck! never know until you try [08:11] EvaLuaTe: good luck [08:11] bluelf you are running in .exe ?

[08:25] jozefk: It's supported for three years, but the next one is released in two years. (Just like non-LTS releases are supported for 18 months, but released every six months) [08:25] or possibly [08:25] by the way for me there is no big difference if you go for LTS > LTS or upgrade each 6 months because both will not work good if you just upgrade. you need to do fresh install most probably [08:25] or possibly gets it pid number and use kill pidnumber -HUP [08:25] to rehash it [08:26] what is LTS?

You dident use the update/package manager upgrade tool? [08:29] maybe stupid question, but has linux/ubuntu a file extention that *always is* a text-file so i can just double click it to open it in gedit or something? (nautilius warns on .txt files for example) [08:29] onetinsoldier, yes. good. some other distros are rolling becuase of the same reason. and ubuntu is not debian. it's just based on debian. and yes, debian releases are tooo looong. debian is more for servers than for desktop [08:29] past my bedtime here. g'night and good luck to all! cheers [08:29] FailPowah: make sure they are not 'executable' and i dont think it will warn any more [08:29] Dr_Willis: Yes, the kernel is the part of the full name of some package required [08:29] FailPowah: you need to associate the file extention to gedit [08:29] cheers onetinsoldier [08:29] extension even [08:29] Dr_Willis: i coped the txt from my ntfs disk, and iirc its not set +x [08:29] Night_Elf: thanks :-) [08:29] thanks, I'll see what I can do [08:30] FailPowah: double check [08:30] forkup: only whats needed to get rid of that "nag"? [08:30] Dr_Willis: Apart from that, what could be the actual problem here? [08:30] Dr_Willis: wierd, why would it (linux?) set a .txt as +x` [08:30] forkup, but the xfce is the way to go? [08:30] dnielsen: I just opened it "seahorse http://ppa.launchpad.net/portis25/ia32libs/ubuntu" [08:30] damn. is LVPM in the repos? Can't find the damn thing [08:30] associate teh file extension [08:30] dnielsen: how to add key [08:30] FailPowah: it dident.. the fact it was on a windows drive made it appear as a executable.. it just copied the origianl permissions/modes [08:31] rubydiamond, oh.. you want to add a ppa and the key, why didn't you say [08:31] FailPowah: same as it would do for any other filesystem [08:31] Dr_Willis: oohkay, wierd from my POV ;P [08:31] Dr_Willis: forkup: thanks both [08:31] FailPowah: thats how you have to do things with ntfs/vfat [08:31] dnielsen: yea :p [08:31] FailPowah: To what I know, when you access from linux a ntfs filesystem, usaully all the files have the execute permition set [08:31] dnielsen: how to add keys... ? help [08:32] FailPowah: linux permissions don't have an exact counterpart in ntfs [08:32] FailPowah: theres other options to mount them differently for ntfs/vfat - but it can be quirky. [08:32] FailPowah: a directory has to be 'executable' for you to 'enter' it and access its contents [08:33] rubydiamond, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys -- also you may want to practice the word please [08:33] Dr_Willis: and it copies the directories flags to the files when i copy it? [08:33] every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling on my Microsoft Arc™ Mouse is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ub [08:33] untu? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 . also, i can't set my mouse speed within ubuntu. [08:33] FailPowah: it copies over the permissions/modes/ownership - yes [08:34] FailPowah: look on the ntfs drive.. its likely that EVERY file and EVERY dir. is 'executable' [08:34] Dr_Willis: ok [08:34] is there a list of printers that work with lucid 64bit ? [08:34] FailPowah: theres fmask/dmask options one can use to tweak it via the mount options. [08:34] dnielsen: what is key id [08:34] FyreFoX: buy something that supports PCL [08:34] rubydiamond, for the xorg-edgers ppa e.g. (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa) thkey id is 8844C542 - replace for your ppa of choice. And again politeness will get you everywhere [08:34] Dr_Willis: i "just use" the places menu to access either my harddrive (in computer) or my share from my win server. [08:35] FailPowah: so its setting defaults that let you access everything [08:35] dnielsen: thanks for the help :D [08:35] Docteh: what about drivers? Canon, brother, epson ? [08:35] UBUNTU 10.04 not connecting to WiFi, Pl Help [08:36] FyreFoX: you can run 32bit software in 64bit kernel, just need the libraries, shouldn't have any problems vs running 32bit [08:36] rubydiamond, in the future please add ppas and gpg keys at the same time via e.g. synaptic or the add-apt-repository command. It will save you a lot of trouble [08:36] Dr_Willis: oki, thanks again [08:36] Docteh: ah ok. thanks [08:36] vishal, okay let's have a go. What is the exact problem? [08:38] * h00ked__ is back (gone 10:30:00) [08:39] every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling on my Microsoft Arc™ Mouse is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ub [08:39] untu? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 . also, i can't set my mouse speed within ubuntu.

[08:40] Dr_Willis: thats kind of the impression im getting from googling, would you suggest another make? [08:40] forkup, no. how do i do that? [08:40] epson have printer drivers, so do hp iirc [08:40] rubydiamond, you are adding a ppa specifically compiled for working around premature inclusion of Client-side Decorations and RGBA support in Maverick. It has no application in Lucid what so ever. You don't need it [08:40] FyreFoX: HP and Brother - but it depends on your needs. Check the reviews befor you buy [08:40] HP should work [08:40] sec [08:41] Dr_Willis: ok, cheers [08:41] anyone know how to add networks to GTK-Gnutella?

[08:43] anyone know how to add networks to GTK-Gnutella? [08:44] My thunderbird is displaying the AM/PM time format, though I want it to be on a 24h time format.

That would give you power/performance that is unmatched in the space as well as 24h battery life [08:46] so it didn't fix it huh...well then i have no clue [08:47] saik, http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net/en/?page=bootstrap - doesn't sound vague to me at all [08:47] dnielsen, I was talking about a "drawing" tablet :) [08:47] there's another solution...delete windows [08:47] :) [08:47] Are compiz effects activated in Ubuntu by default? [08:47] no [08:47] forkup, ok [08:47] tham_: if the vidoe card supports it. yes. [08:47] airbrush, oh those are cool.. begone evil one, you tempt me with your shiny gadgets [08:48] Dr_Willis: If so, how can I disable them? [08:48] godricbrutus: if worse comes to worse: hit cntrl-alt-F3 login and apt-get install ratpoison, that will keep you untill you get your mouse fixed :) [08:48] Hi all, why my ar5001 didn't work with madwifi driver?ty [08:48] tham_: right click, wallpapers -> last tab [08:49] airbrush, no idea what that means, but i imagine it's quite funny [08:49] tham_, go to the look and feel application (System->setting->Look and feel) then set the effects tab setting to none [08:49] dnielsen, yep, I tire of trying to draw with a mouse [08:49] Dr_Willis: ah okay, thanx [08:49] ikonia I would like to apologize to you [08:49] airbrush, good thing I am about as artistic as a brick. [08:49] dnielsen: There's no option called Look n feel, do you mean Display? [08:50] oh my. He's showering [08:50] godricbrutus: the cntrl-alt-F3 chord will put you into a virtual terminal, use cntrl-alt-F6 to get back, ... may be F5 on some [08:50] dnielsen: http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/ but I see no ips [08:50] The finer your Display the more chance you'll get a Look 'n' Feel [08:50] That reminds me, I need someone to help me with a desktop concept project. I have the design documents written but I lack the mockups [08:51] dnielsen what kind of "design documents"? UML? [08:51] tham_, sorry, in english it's called Appearance (I use Danish locale normally) [08:51] dnielsen: ah okay, thx :) [08:51] airbrush, what is ratpoison? [08:51] i just googled it [08:51] a window manager that runs from the key-board [08:51] no mouse needed [08:52] kills the mouse ... get it? [08:52] Revodution, text.. I will turn them into a specification and UML over time but at the moment I have spent the most of my time thinking about how things should work === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:52] airbrush, oh, that won't fix my issue [08:52] airbrush, i get it [08:52] Will I be able to run the same applications as in Gnome, if I moved to LXDE? [08:52] ok, [08:52] sun-java6 isn't showing up in synaptic for me. [08:53] tham_: Sure you can. But the Desktop Integration won't be as perfect. [08:53] rocket16: by integration what do u mean? like notifications, etc? [08:53] Hai [08:54] tham_: Yes, notifications, alerts, alarms, reminders of Evolution etc. Also, the Evolution Clock Task-Appointment Integration won't work, [08:54] tham_: But the workouts are there, [08:54] dnielsen I see. What exactly is a "desktop concept project"? [08:55] rocket16: I see. Btw, will wobbly windows work with LXDE? [08:55] tham_, no [08:55] * airtonix is glad of it [08:55] I need to know something about checkinstall: can I use the .deb package from its output on another computer, provided that its the same architecture as the machine I used it on? As in, amd64-based .deb on another amd64 machine? [08:56] Just testing out irc on empathy, and guys, I'm loving it. Recently switched to ubuntu and I'm have a blast. Keep up the hard work. Gnight [08:56] airtonix: Hmm, too bad. [08:56] needz thanks [08:56] alooooo [08:56] trime\ [08:56] :] [08:56] tham_: No, desktop effects aren't there in LXDE. [08:56] Im so happy [08:56] aloooooo [08:57] ajwak95 [08:57] tham_, you can use xcompmgr instead to provide basic compositing (so that programs that require it still work) [08:57] dnielsen: http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/ but I see no ips how can I add those? [08:57] Revodution, think about it as an evolutionary approach to making to the desktop more structured. It's hard to explain hence when I publish the documents I would love mockups to go with some of the ideas as well as screencasts of what I have been using here for a couple of months [08:58] airtonix: ah okay, thx for the tip :) [08:58] tham_, this is for openbox window manager, but the concept should work exactly the same : http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/03/02/openbox-xcompmgr-transset-and-conky/ [08:58] dnielsen ok, sounds interesting, keep us informed [08:58] how do I know which grub version I'm using? [08:59] Revodution, I try to, I was supposed to publish months ago, but high flying ideas and real life got in the way [08:59] screw you real life.. always messing up my productive online work [08:59] I hate that real life. It's like those job things [08:59] always get in the way [08:59] * dnielsen kicks gvfs-smb why oh why are you 10 times slower than nfs.. [08:59] airtonix: is openbox something like LXDE? [09:00] * dnielsen kicks nfs why oh why are you so utterly unstable [09:00] Uh, nevermind about my checkinstall question, looks like I just answered my own question by looking it up :/ [09:00] tham_, yes but leaner [09:00] every time i boot into ubuntu after i have been on windows, the mouse wheel scrolling on my Microsoft Arc™ Mouse is messed up (too fast) on ubuntu. i found an 'article', but if i'm understanding correctly, they are saying it is 'solved' because 'all you have to do' is un-plug and re-plug the usb connector. this doesn't sound like it solved to me. is that what they are saying? un-plug, then re-plug the connector every time we start ub [09:00] untu? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 . also, i can't set my mouse speed within ubuntu. [09:00] well, I'm going to have to say that the lxde screen manager is better for my computer [09:01] CodenameStrike what an absurd notion! Looking it up yourself?? Are you crazy???

How do I mount it back? [09:02] bazhang oh, of course, of course [09:02] i mean just with quotes? [09:03] So is there a reason sun-java6 packages aren't showing up in Synaptic?

[09:08] I'll open up a new tab, load youtube video, switch to first tab, and youtube stops working [09:08] the flash embed just cuts off [09:08] Hi all [09:08] how to enable root login on Ubuntu 10.04.? [09:09] geekyogi: You don't need to enable the root login, use sudo instead. [09:09] geekyogi: we won't tell you here, if yo ugoogle it there might be instructions [09:09] CaptainTrek: I mean, I want to be able to put automaticly certain tags in my html code [09:09] Flannel: sudo su works fine.. but i need direct su root login [09:09] geekyogi: What for? [09:10] for example when I do alt+n put the sentence in bold (html) [09:10] do you understand me [09:10] geekyogi: set a password for the root user [09:10] Illuminatus: no, i dont think gedit can do that [09:10] Illuminatus: yes i understood you xD [09:10] its better to use 'sudo -s' as needed. not sudo su [09:10] Flannel: just am getting uncomfortable with sudo su [09:10] or sudo -i [09:10] Anybody ever used utangle with ubuntu? Ty [09:10] geekyogi: Why's that? [09:10] su su sudio [09:10] zamba: where's the option.? [09:11] geekyogi: 'sudo passwd' [09:11] Flannel: coz all other distros allow su [09:11] geekyogi: but - as the others in here have pointed out - you should have some good reasons for wanting that [09:11] geekyogi: There's really no reason you'd need to enable the root account. And you should be more uncomfortable enabling the root login than using sudo. [09:11] geekyogi: "because they do it" isn't a very good reason. Ubuntu chooses to use sudo instead of a root account because it's more secure, and provides you with more flexibility [09:12] Flannel: the only reason i've found to enable the root user is if you want to do remote backups with rdiff-backup -to- the box [09:12] CaptainTrek: my english is not really good sorry :p Do you know a program similar notepad++ [09:12] in ubuntu of course [09:12] Illuminatus: gedit [09:12] my ubuntu 10.04 still uses grub. How can I upgrade to grub2? [09:12] Illuminatus: nope. [09:12] Illuminatus: i perfer geany for a text editor [09:12] zamba: you can use ssh-keys, no need for a root-account [09:12] llutz: i'm using ssh keys [09:13] llutz: but i still need to be able to log in as root [09:13] Flannel: Zamba: Hmm.. Its secure.. But just for the sake of tweaking ubuntu.. is it possible? [09:13] geekyogi: sure === root is now known as Guest40992 [09:13] zamba: forced-commands-only works without an enabled account [09:13] geekyogi: Of course it is. But if you ask me, "because I can" isn't a good reason to make a box less secure ;) [09:14] geekyogi: You can read all about this, including a few pros and cons here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [09:14] llutz: that's interesting.. thanks :) [09:14] zamba: Flannel: alright. :) [09:14] Can anyone tell me why my Synaptic doesn't list any Sun Java packages even though I enabled the multiverse repo? [09:14] llutz: didn't know about the force-commands-only option [09:14] Dr_Willis: can you create macros with geany ?

I will reserve my right to protect the integrity of the channel from such non-answers. Thanks you. [09:18] so much for analogys :) [09:18] it does when you gotta 12-year-old laptop [09:18] I would like to "pause" ubuntu boot until an USB key is unplugged: ls /dev/sd*; sleep 1 until there is no usb key. The problem is that I want to show a message to the user, but with Ubuntu lucid I don't know how to do that, there is no console message.

[09:19] Geany is one of the most full features text editors ive used over the years. 'fte' is also very handy. but a bit weird. The only editors ive seen with more features would have tobe Emacs and Vi/Variants of the 2 [09:19] Flannel perhaps we could either drop this conversation or continue it in another venue.

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.

[10:33] sarthorks: you realize that bug/patch is 3+ years old? [10:33] I shall be back to report success and thank you. [10:33] RabbitVCS? [10:34] No problem [10:34] anybody here using lucid? [10:34] jake__: a large # of us are [10:35] i have a machine running an amd sempron! any specific bugs or otherwise that i need to be aware of Dr_Willis. i have intrepid right now and i want to update :) [10:35] Dr_Willis, well i just want to try it. Could you suggest a solution to "server not found" for lyrics search plugin in rhythmbox [10:36] jake__: no idea. check the forums for issues perhaps. I doubt if the cpu will be much of a problem. [10:36] sarthorks2: check the forums/bug reports for newer bug reports and possible fixs - [10:36] jake__: I don't think you will have any problem, I have another pc on celeron and no problem [10:37] Dr_Willis: ok but is stable otherwise? [10:37] Dr_Willis, ok [10:37] jake__: why wouldent it be. :) [10:37] jake__: If it's a cleen install, you shouldn't have any problem, but some of us had problem with update... (just "some", as : not often) [10:37] Lucid is running fine on my 4+ machines. [10:37] ahh great Galerien, so is there anything i should know before i update? i am planning to do a fresh install. will google that. and also what is the best way to enable my wireless driver right after install? [10:38] jake__: the machine you are in is a server? If not, why not see how it goes with the live-cd ? Or install it on a removable usb disk (like I did on my 1TB puppy :D ) [10:38] jake__: depends on the wireless card. on one laptop. i had to plug in a wired cable for a few min. to download the latest wirelewss drivers for the wirelesscard [10:38] Dr_Willis: read about a lot of bugs issues a while back and i'm not too fond of fixing problems on ubuntu :p [10:38] jake__: I had no problem with my wireless card... [10:38] jake__: if you look for bugs for anything.. you will alwyas find lots of bugs and issues. [10:38] jake__: try it and see for yourself. [10:38] jake__: what chipset do you have in your wifi card ? [10:39] Night_Elf: i ran the livecd, didn't do much with it but checked out the interface, really liked it and now want to install. during that much i didnt feel any poblems :p [10:39] when ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 1 comes out what kernel will it have? [10:39] hmmmmmm! [10:39] jake__, [10:39] gl0wurm3wE: #ubuntu+1 [10:39] when you ran the livecd did your wireless drivers work? [10:39] jake__: some people with nvidia graphics have had some issues with 10.04. [10:39] jake__: livecd is a good way to find out about the wireless [10:40] Night_Elf: jake__ : And ATI graphics too (living example :D) [10:40] CARAM: no it was disabled and i didnt try anything and i remember when i installed itrepid i had to do some file manipulation and all that . bwcutter or somethig [10:40] hey guys i want to buy an external hard disk and well i was wondering should i go for the ssd or the normal one's and i know that this is'nt related to ubuntu but i just want to get a general opinion [10:40] i have an ati200m [10:40] what kind of problems Galerien [10:40] Jo3e: #hardware [10:41] jake__: It wasn't related to the driver, just the update, If you do a clean install, you should be good [10:41] lol Galerien. then for some reason, 10.04 has graphical issues. Myself have an nvidia in my laptop. I do have small weird things which are more a nuisance than a problem [10:42] Night_Elf: I have "no direct rendering and no opengl" kind of problem :D [10:42] apparently #hardware is an invite only channel [10:42] Jo3e, try ##hardware [10:42] Galerien: oh wow. You're happily stuck with basic functionality ehh. ^^ [10:43] I don't bother using the nvidia drivers [10:43] hello. I don't see the network manager applet, how do i enable it? [10:43] Night_Elf: yep... I will clean that up when my work is finish, until then... [10:43] I use the open source nv ones as they work better for me [10:43] Galerien: but on the other hand I have always had the feel that ATI sucks when it comes to support linux [10:43] proprietary ones detected my LCD as a CRT [10:43] >:| [10:43] CARAM: I have rebooted and the server reloaded fine. [10:43] yay [10:43] now if you add anything else [10:43] like mysql [10:43] just do the same thing [10:43] However, the Services is not to be seen on menu. [10:43] Night_Elf: It did for a while, but now we have some good suport [10:43] damn it! i just realised i have no space to take a backup! [10:44] CARAM: I know what you mean. But that darn compiz is way too cool to ignore :( [10:44] ty CARAM. [10:44] CARAM: I don't know about nvidia, but with ATI if you want to get opengl, you don't have any choice [10:44] Hagus, no idea what you can do about that [10:44] jake__: no external usb drive ? [10:45] Night_Elf: just some TINY ones :D [10:45] jake__: or burn a DVD... ? [10:45] Ever since I upgraded to 10.10, my cursor keeps defaulting to an x. I think it is some sort of thematic issue or driver issue. [10:45] hi all, I need graphically represent subversion please help [10:45] dont have a dvd burner Galerien [10:45] for nvidia there is a project calle noveau which procieds open source drivers with hardware acceleration, does not support a cards though [10:45] I have to keep selecting Appearance and normal to get it to go away. [10:45] yeah nouveau and nv [10:45] anyone know who's maintaining package libusb? [10:45] Hagus: 10.10? Feeling lucky ?? :D [10:46] damm I just installed the 2.6.34 kernel - it gives a VERY noticeable speed boost, amazing [10:46] mc__, did you compile it yourself? [10:46] \join isf [10:46] Do you think that I should have stuck with 10.04? [10:46] Otherwise, I doubt it was the kernel that did it. [10:47] mc__: Nvidia is calling his driver "nouveau" That's a French word :D [10:47] Hagus: I have some small nuisances with the mouse too. I always get the default while one, while I have selected and want the black one. The change works only when I disable desktop effects (compiz). I use nvidia drivers [10:47] CARAM, I did [10:47] well that's probably what did it then [10:47] not the update [10:47] me too, Night_Elf. [10:47] I like the wobbly screens though :) [10:47] lol [10:47] well 2.6.34 brought some speed improvements, but probably it's mostly though to the optimization yeah [10:48] I lost a weeks worth of productivity [10:48] when I got compiz [10:48] WHEE FIRE [10:48] CARAM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:48] Hagus: hehe. But after 3 days I disable the wobbling. It just messes too much with my eyes :p [10:48] WIGGLY SCREENS, I LOVE WATER [10:48] compiz is the easiest way to turn people into ubuntu evangelists [10:48] Galerien: once i do a clean install, which will be a dual boot, do i need to do anything to the grub for my windows xp to show up? [10:49] CARAM: Hagus: what I find useful is the SUPER+A and SUPER+TAB combinations while in compiz [10:49] mc__: only people who never want/have to work with a computer [10:49] the zoom out ones? [10:49] I can't remember what they did [10:49] Not sure that I hve tried these, Night_Elf? [10:49] wife likes the zoom features. [10:49] jake__: I don't think that grup add a windows partition just like that... [10:49] llutz, not all compiz features are annoying [10:49] CARAM: Hagus: The one that zooms the windows and places them all on the desktop to click-select what you want [10:50] mc__: just most of the ones people go all goo-goo for. ;) [10:50] Dr_Willis:thats the only usefull feature i know [10:50] and the one that rotates them around [10:50] I have just tried it, ty :) [10:50] Dr_Willis, indeed :) [10:50] ty - I shall be making use of that too :) [10:50] llutz: that one that dims the other windows so she stays focused on the current one is handy. and thers a feature that puts ROOT: in the title of any app running as root [10:51] HIya guys - I am using 64 bit 9.04 at the moment - of course each time I update I am presented with the option to update everything to V 10. Question: is the update straight forward - apart from backing up personal data, is there anything else I should be mindful of? [10:51] Galerien: so there is something that i would need to do! sorry, i am a complete n00b :) [10:51] Dr_Willis: yea that focus/dim is cool too [10:51] ventti: What is you graphic card? [10:51] slm [10:51] jake__: hold on a sec [10:51] ati hd mobility 4650 [10:52] jake__: RTFM ==> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto ;) [10:52] machine is hp dv6 1130rx [10:52] 1130 tx * [10:52] ventti: What is you graphic card??? [10:52] thanks Galerien [10:52] see above :) [10:52] [19:51] ati hd mobility 4650 [10:52] ho, sorry [10:52] radeon [10:52] :) [10:52] just do it [10:52] ^_^ [10:53] if it doesn't work out it's not like you can't get your data off via livecd [10:53] Galerien: it says these notes do not apply to a clean install of karmic or later :) [10:53] ventti: well, I have some problem with my HDM3650 === ylmf is now known as Guest69408 [10:53] jake__: then you are safe I guess :D [10:53] Network manager applet is not shown. Running lucid. how do i enable it? [10:53] EN [10:53] ok , thanks Galerian :) === Libfy is now known as Libfy- [10:53] wll give it a go in the next day or so [10:53] Galerien: sounds good :D [10:53] enriq: if you run "nm-applet" ? [10:54] enriq, press Alt+F2 to run the command [10:54] jake__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [10:54] jake__, make sure you do not remove the windows bootloader [10:54] MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT REMOVE THE WINDOWS BOOTLOADER [10:54] that's my only advice [10:55] Night_Elf, anodesni it complais that nm-applet is already running. However I don't see an icon in the notification area [10:55] jake__: yea, after you finish reading stuff about grub/grub2 and booting process in general, then read it again! [10:55] enriq, it's a bug, try 'killall -9 nm-applet' in terminal and then start it again [10:56] ventti: I can't use it because I did something wrong with my install (don't know what) so I would say clean install is safer [10:56] Hello, I want to shutdown the pc as a normal user. I put this line into visudo: 'xeer ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown'. Then I restart the computer. But the next time I executed 'shutdown -h now' the answer was 'shutdown: Need to be root' [10:56] Is there a way to get echo cancellation with skype on linux? My audio chipset is intel_hda [10:56] anyone know how to edit image tags in ubuntu? [10:57] Night_Elf: hahaha honestly i couldn't even read it once. Way too hard for me to understand. CARAM: i have never been this confused in my life :p [10:57] anodesni, still nothing shown. nm-applet prints 2 debug messages "old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0" and won't return to prompt [10:58] Or antoher question: The Gnome menu offers a nromal user the shutdown. Which command does it execute? I want to shutdown the pc without any anoying questions. [10:58] enriq, then I don't know anymore... [10:58] anodesni, thanks anyway [10:59] how do I start a network defined in NetworkManager (from command line) [10:59] enriq, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup [10:59] Night_Elf: it says that grub2 automatically adds all the os' to the list. so there isn't anything i need to do i believe [11:00] jake__: if they say so, then I don't think you do [11:00] zeer: sudo shutdown -h now [11:00] wewe [11:00] jake__: and If something goes wrong, we are here :D [11:00] hey guys i want to install an app in ubuntu that lets me check my laptop's temperatures and fan speeds [11:00] jake__: well if you do have problems, normally that means that that "automatic" thing didn't work right. In that case, you better read the docs ^^ or you will never know what is happning to your system,s [11:00] system* [11:00] erUSUL: But he says I need root rightsto do that. [11:01] !conky | siriusnova [11:01] arf... [11:01] siriusnova: just look for conky on google [11:01] zeer: you used sudo ? [11:01] siriusnova, type in 'sensors' at the terminal [11:01] hello, is there an offtopic ubuntu channel? [11:01] Night_Elf: if i do have problems, i will ask you guys because the documentation seems to technical for me to understand :p [11:01] !ot | gh0st [11:01] !offtopic | gh0st [11:01] gh0st: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks!

[11:08] Poseidon_99: check the scripts in /etc/init/ [11:08] jrib: 10.04 [11:09] Poseidon_99: add "never" as a condition for gdm to start in /etc/init/gdm.conf [11:10] Poseidon_99: theres also a 'text' option I think you can add to the kernel boot lines in /etc/default/grub to make tit system boot to text mode and not start gdm [11:10] Dr_Willis: but how to do that ? [11:10] edit the /etc/default/grub file [11:10] erUSUL: 'sudo shutdown' worked, Thanks a lot :) [11:11] zeer: no problem [11:11] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" [11:11] there is not "grub" in /etc/defaut [11:12] "/etc/default/grub" [11:12] If you dont have one.. then you are not using grub2 i guess [11:12] I configure my wlan0 as ad-hoc with a certain essid. After a while (5 seconds) the essid changes to garbage [11:13] Dr_wills yes i m sure i m using grub2 [11:14] Poseidon_99: then i suggest looking again. /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d are the main location for all the config files [11:14] I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed with Windows XP, when I select windows XP to boot it says "NTLDR not installed. Press Ctl+Alt+Del to restart" boot into. Please help me to fix the problem [11:14] Is it better to use the 64bit version of Ubuntu if my system supports it? [11:14] Dr_wills cause just two days before i run a command to make my system work " sudo update-grub2 [11:14] k i m looking it [11:14] TommyH: yeah, probably [11:15] TommyH: if you got 4+gb ram.. defaintaly.. if you do lots of cpu intensve tasks.. yes. - Theres not many reasons to NOT use 64bit these days [11:15] there is grub.d [11:15] cool, thanks for the response! [11:16] I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed with Windows XP, when I select windows XP to boot it says "NTLDR not installed. Press Ctl+Alt+Del to restart". Please help me to fix the problem [11:16] Dr_Willis: now i found grub.d what next ? === edwin is now known as Guest28386 [11:16] Poseidon_99: you edit the file /etc/default/grub [11:17] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" In The file /etc/default/grub [11:17] Linux_Lover: did it ever work? [11:17] hi all [11:17] Jrib: Yes it was working fine few weeks back [11:18] i have a problem installing ubuntu with the altenate cd [11:18] alternate* [11:18] Linux_Lover: that's pretty weird. Did you do anything grub-related? [11:18] ikb, wats the prob? [11:18] the image start to flicker after i select to install [11:19] i have a SIS [11:19] ikb, did you downloaded it completely? [11:19] Jrib: I just removed the extra entries made by Ubuntu. [11:19] Dr_Willis: just one question why i should edit the grub ? i mean i want to login in my ubuntu with no X... or m i missing something ? sorry i m little dumb at this lol [11:19] QUERY [11:19] Hello again, respected members, [11:19] is there any app that scans and categorizes your file system or files ( so you know where you used up alot of space) ?> [11:19] i am tring to find a solution adding some boot parameter [11:19] but seem not working [11:19] Poseidon_99: the TEXT option to grub tells the system to boot to text mode. You could disable gdm if you wanted also. [11:19] ikb,what is your system architectire [11:20] ikb,please specify what parameter [11:20] Text mode also disables some other of the eyecandy from what i saw when i used it. [11:20] Linux_Lover: see if ##windows is familiar with the problem. I was going to suggest you do fixmbr from the windows disk and then reinstall grub, taking care not to install it to the windows partition. But that was assuming you hah somehow installed grub to the windows partition [11:20] i have tested [11:20] intelfb.blacklist=1 [11:20] blacklist=vga16fb [11:20] Dr_Willis: oh !! and whats with the other option ? i want to know it too. ( just for knowledge ) [11:20] ok [11:20] vga=771 [11:20] iKb: To know the System Architechture, use this command in terminal: uname -a [11:20] Poseidon_99: disable the grub service in /etc/init [11:21] i rocket [11:21] Linux_Lover what are you doing? [11:21] hi rocket [11:21] whos is this rocket [11:21] ? [11:21] Hello aks_, [11:21] bricky: it used to be called 'baobab' but i think that's no longer the name in Lucid... but it should be installed by default, it makes a fancy graph like thing of your disk.

[11:22] i have the same problem using the livecd, the monitor start to flick than at the end i have a normal grafical installer [11:22] bricky: I have ubuntu 10.04 and windows XP installed. when I try to boot into Win XP it says " NTLDR not found" Press Ctl+Alt+Del to restart [11:22] LjL yes I seen that, unfortunately its not as specific as i hoped, =[ [11:23] i think is is a known problem with the sis driver [11:23] but i can't find a solution for the alternate cd install [11:23] Linux_Lover, hmm do you get into any menus, at all, or are you helpless [11:24] a Plymouth problem [11:24] Ive been there before, do you have another partition you could install windows on ? [11:24] bricky: I can only booth into Ubuntu 10.04. I can not boot into Windows. [11:24] hmm [11:25] Dr_Willis: what should i do in gdm.conf ? i mean any script i have to add or anything like that ? [11:25] Poseidon_99: rename it to gdm.DONTRUN [11:25] bricky: what do you mean specific? [11:25] Poseidon_99: but upstart and some other things may still run. so its not quite the same as the TEXT option to grub [11:25] Dr_wills oh thanks ! i got it [11:26] Linux_Lover dont know how helpfull this is someone else may be able to tell you : http://calamari.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/fixing-a-broken-wubi-grub-after-ubuntu-updates/ [11:26] Dr_Willis: i m going with text option in grub ! and thanxs [11:26] Thank you very much bricky [11:26] How do you retrieve the admin pass without going through recovery mode?

I have ubuntu at the first one, windows xp at the second one. it only boots windows. is there any way I can install grub so I can boot both ubuntu and win? [13:48] jrib: yea, their are. My question was arent those config files to the consoles or the real consoles? just a query [13:48] godhax: yes, you just have to tell grub you have windows on the second hard drive [13:49] nmvictor: well those are files for upstart jobs, they should be the same as just the tty1 files you referred to earlier [13:49] @Galerien, I think grub's not installed [13:49] jrib: thanks [13:49] xteejx : copy the cdrom to your HD [13:49] nmvictor: files without the .conf extension are ignored, so you can just rename the files if you want [13:49] Everyone keeps dissing Webmin - "buggy, crappy, poopy" (I've heard it all) - but where are the good alternatives?? That doesn't cost anything, to boot [13:49] I'm now running from live cd [13:50] wise_crypt: Will try that, thought there may be another option [13:50] how do I build libtool against two different versions of gcc ? [13:50] at the same time [13:50] I want to install all libraries of open ssl [13:50] !webmin | Kalle__ [13:50] !ebot | kalle [13:50] Kalle__: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:50] how do i do that? [13:50] :S [13:50] !ebox | kalle_ [13:50] kalle_: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [13:50] the_holstar1: man apt-get [13:50] what happens if I switch the primary and secondary master in BIOS? [13:50] wise_crypt: thanks, I'll check that out [13:51] webmin still works fine [13:51] Ose: the first will boot the OS [13:51] 'might work' [13:51] can I install grub while I'm on live cd? [13:52] godhax: You can chroot into an installed system and reinstall grub yes. [13:52] the_holstar1: basically always search for the file with a command like "apt-cache search openssl" and then install with "sudo apt-get install " the result from the cache that you want [13:52] I have two boot loaders and need to get rid of one,this what it looks like [13:52] Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes [13:52] 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders [13:52] Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes [13:52] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [13:52] I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [13:52] Climbing_Freak: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:53] godhax: use supergrub http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [13:53] I think I like what Lucid did to networking, one hardly needs to fiddle with proxy settings, I am usually on university proxy network, right now I just plugged in my GSM modem so I could chat with you guys since most IRC clients dont support proxy, and unlike in karmic--, i dont have to tell Lucid to ignore proxy, it automatically does that.Good job ubuntu network developers [13:53] the_holstar1: and for "what-provides?" like functionailty you can get apt-file and then "apt-file search /path/foobar" [13:53] thanks guys I'll check it out [13:54] blue_anna: hmm [13:54] is their a way to add color to bootup messages like i see in some distributions like SystemRescueCD? [13:54] the_holstar1: here http://ubuntuguide.net/manually-addingremoving-entries-to-grub-2-menu [13:54] the_holstar1: from terminal, type: whereis grub.conf [13:54] so im having problems installing/using vloopback. Im using 10.04. The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source. Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what? [13:55] hey guys im sure my problem is pretty simple but I've been on it for a while please help me ! my xorg.conf : http://pastebin.com/VqTt244p . Why does it boot in 1200x1600 instead of 1024x768 ?

So proberly not. [13:56] i finally have lucid up and running :D [13:56] happyaron: i'm in #ubuntu-bots if you have any questions about it, though. [13:57] How can i go to the folder downloads with TERMINAL ? [13:57] wise_crypt : thanks but i've been there already and can't find what Im doing wrong that's why im here :( [13:57] Dr_Willis: too bad, i'll try google still. In open source world, you could have anything. thanks anyway [13:57] Dr_Willis: and hey, are you really a doctor? [13:57] How can i go to the folder downloads with TERMINAL ? [13:58] Twain_32: cd ~/Downloads ? [13:58] Twain_32: cd ~/Downloads/ === edwin is now known as Guest48158 [13:58] thanks [13:58] Twain_32: cd /dir/you/want/to/enter [13:58] !terminal | Twain_32 [13:58] Twain_32: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [13:58] loic: what's your monitor section say? === ara_ is now known as ara [13:58] !terminal [13:58] What's the required package and libraried for openssl? [13:58] nmvictor: there are ways, it's just that personally I haven't care enough. You need to search google for terms like: splashscreen, linux boot, framebuffer, etc [13:58] *libraries [13:59] okay, so I have the same problem as the original poster and want to try this solution: http://techrepublic.com.com/5208-6230-0.html?forumID=101&threadID=225598&messageID=2272476&tag=content;leftCol the problem is that I can't find these options. can anyone tell me how to (I know this is #ubuntu but #bios doesn't exists, so...) [13:59] the_holstar1: openssl most likely [13:59] Night_Elf: thats encoraging [13:59] Night_Elf: encouraging [13:59] blue_anna : mmmmmmmmm I don't have one. Is that my problem ? thing is, I don't want to force anything else than the resolution. Other things are detected just fine [13:59] or is this on hardware level? [14:00] loic: not sure, I would guess so ... are you working from a guide anywhere? [14:00] I am trying to install unrealircd [14:00] and i enabled openssl [14:00] blue_anna. sorry to bother you again. i didn't restart my pc, but i decided to copy one of the videos to my desktop and its transferring at 43KB/sec. Something must be really wrong [14:00] blue_anna : im working form previous experience and from the french ubuntu wiki [14:00] db_loco: yes [14:00] the server gave me [14:00] this message [14:00] Apparently you do not have both the openssl binary and openssl development libraries installed [14:00] Has anybody managed to install Truecrypt in ubuntu powerpc arch? [14:01] the_holstar1: Have you tried from terminal: sudo apt-get install unrealircd ? [14:01] db_loco: I'm having hard drive issues myself right now, only getting 20MiB/s from my 45MiB/s harddrive. I *wish* I could help you with taht [14:01] the_holstar1: look for some openssl-dev packages in the repos [14:01] the_holstar1: sudo aptitude install openssl openssl-dev [14:01] hay [14:01] loic: pass me the link? [14:01] I have to wonder why a program would need the openssl-dev package.. that seems weird. [14:01] the_holstar1: `apt-cache search openssl | grep dev might` help [14:02] blue_anna, thats cool. thanks much anyways. if i find a solution i'll let u know ;). Enjoy! [14:02] the_holstar1: `apt-cache search openssl | grep dev [14:02] nmvictor: well, you could start with understanding how and where the current splash image for Ubuntu is. Then see to replace that with your own [14:02] blue_anna : of the french wiki ? http://doc.ubuntu-fr.com/xorg [14:02] Dr_Willis: compiling some programs need dev packages of other programs, that seems real [14:03] blue_anna : .org instead of .com sorry [14:03] nmvictor: yea. but i thought he said he was just enabling ssl on a package he allready had installed... [14:03] I wanted to be able to login as root so i replaced the '!' in the root-line in /etc/shadow by the passwordhash of my regular user. I can now login as root with the password of my normal user but i want to change the root password [14:03] loic: oo, un momnt [14:03] 'passwd root' tells me 'passwd: Authentication token manipulation error' [14:03] the_holstar1: one of the packages you might need is: libssl-dev [14:03] !root | garo [14:03] garo: 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 [14:04] hmm [14:04] thanks [14:04] loic: they have a monitor section [14:04] i will be downloading them [14:04] garo: there was (not sure now that you have tweaked things) easier ways to just set a root password. but I dont bother any more. I just do the sudo mantra [14:04] I want to install an windows application from an iso which I have mounted. But ubuntu tells me that the exe is not executable. can I somehow ignore this security restriction? [14:04] Night_Elf: does it have to go that far, i have "no splash" somewhere in my /etc/yaboot.conf, meaning I am not using bootsplash, just boot messages, So I wonder how I have to play around with it, or am I confused [14:05] mc_: Why are you messing with Windows anyway? [14:05] Don9307, I want to play warcraft III under linux [14:05] mc_: Have you installed Wine? [14:05] wise_crypt: well that seems to be not true, cause i am able to set a root password, i'm just no able to change it [14:06] Hi all... [14:06] Don9307, yes [14:06] how to do automatic login to ubuntu-9.04 [14:06] blue_anna : ok Im trying to add one without specifying anything else than an identifier, and added a "monitor" line to the "screen" section does that sound good ? [14:06] loic: is there a reason you're doing it differently? am I missing something? [14:06] and when i try to run the exe file using wine ubuntu tells me that i cannot execute files which do not have the executable bit set [14:06] garo: thats a bad thing to do, no comment on that [14:06] blue_anna : well I don't want to force any settings EXCEPT for the screen resolution [14:06] mc__: use wine from the command line.. 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe' dont just double click on the exe [14:06] does anyone knows ? [14:07] garo: you would need to prefix your command with sudo. or else be root already. [14:07] nmvictor: there are two types of splash images. One is the grub splash image. The other is the startup which hides the text messages during the system start (these ones I personally love, they tell me a lot how the start is going and are good for debuging when something goes wrong() [14:07] but I cant chmod the the exe file in the mounted iso cause its readone [14:07] mc_: You have an iso file verses an executable? [14:07] mc__: dont bother chmoding it.. use the command line. [14:07] Dr_Willis, that does not change anything [14:07] mc__: you should be able to do wine /media/cdrom/whateverinstaller.exe just fine. [14:07] loic try adding a monitor line with nothing but the identifier, and using that in your screen section for the monitor line [14:07] blue_anna : because everything works fine except I have to alt+F2 and run "xrandr -s 1024x768" to be able to use my computer :) [14:08] loic: ie, just add a dummy monitor section and go :) -- might work [14:08] does anyone knows ? [14:08] does anyone knows ? [14:08] how to do automatic login to ubuntu-9.04 [14:08] JigSaw-2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:08] JigSaw-2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:08] sipior: i already tried a 'sudo passwd root' and a 'sudo su -' followed by a 'passwd root' when i was root [14:08] how to do automatic login to ubuntu-9.04 [14:08] blue_anna : thanks I'll try reboot now. thanks again for your time [14:08] loic: g/l [14:08] garo: sudo -s will get you to # but thats all i can give you sorry [14:08] !empathy [14:08] Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu, replacing !pidgin [14:08] is that right? [14:09] !no one answers [14:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:09] JigSaw-2: actually most have you on ignore for all the flooding i imagine [14:09] when i ls -la /etc/lir* i get "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50849 2010-05-31 06:01 lircd.conf" and when i do 'rm /etc/lircd.conf' i get "rm: cannot remove `/etc/lircd.conf': No such file or directory" [14:09] JigSaw-2: you did look in the system -> admin Menu in the login settings icon? [14:09] Dr_Willis, that did not work as I check [14:10] JigSaw-2: it should work. ive enabled it that way in the past. [14:10] mcl0vin: you shouldn't, since you have read access -- did you sudo the rm ? [14:10] mcl0vin: and when you do: ls -l /etc/lircd.conf ? [14:10] Dr_Willis, oh, yeah you are right. That does not give me the executable bit error, but interestingly enoguh it does not do anything, not even display an error [14:10] Dr_Willis, will it work for remote-login ? or for different ttys ? [14:10] JigSaw-2: theres also the 3rd party tool 'gdm2setup' and some other gdm tweaker tools like ubuntu-tweak that may be to enable it [14:11] Now, look at this. I set the system time in my iBook loaded with Lucid, it correctly sets but after reboot, its behind by one hour. Each reboot takes me one hour back in the past. At some point i COULD NOT be able to log into my system for a whole week until i disabled boot splash and then spoted the message[paraphrased]"/dev/hda3[/home] last mount time is in future", so with OpenFirmware, I was able to reset the time which led to a succesfull login. H [14:11] JigSaw-2: no idea on remote. tty's ? gdm can autologin to X/Desktop. If you want a CONSOLE to auto login you do it a different way [14:11] I know how to get root, that's not to the problem, how else would i have changed /etc/shadow without being root. The only problem is that i can only let root have no password or let him have the same password as my regular user [14:11] blue_anna: yeah even when i use sudo [14:11] Dr_Willis, how ? [14:11] aro: does it give the error before or after you specify a password? [14:11] JigSaw-2: be a bit more verbose in yoru statements.. how to what part? [14:12] garo: "ls -l /etc/shadow" [14:12] !sudo | garo [14:12] garo: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [14:12] Dr_Willis, how to autologin to CONSOLE ? [14:12] Night_Elf: when i do the ls -l i get the same result no file/dir found [14:12] i know what sudo is, how did you thing i became root ? [14:12] garo: there was no need to mess with /etc/shadow to get root enabled [14:13] JigSaw-2: on 10.04 i would alter the proper /etc/init/ttyS#.conf file to run the proper command. Not sure about older releases [14:13] mcl0vin: then there really is no such file [14:13] where the heck has the keyboard indicator applet gone?? [14:13] guys :) how can i extract an zip files ??? [14:13] Night_Elf: aight then [14:13] Twain_32: Right-click -> extract [14:13] loic_anna : not working :( [14:13] mcl0vin: you see what gives this: sudo updatedb ; locate lircd.conf [14:13] oop I meant blue_anna [14:13] garo: I think given it location, you can only edit /etc/shadow as root, I am not sure if bootin to a live CD and mounting the /root/ of you installed system then editing it from the live CD is possible, it might be but I WOULD'NT ADVICE [14:14] Dr_Willis, WHICH package installed it ? [14:14] llutz: i tought that i if you had a ! or a * in after the first : in /etc/shadow the login was disabled [14:14] loic: same error, or you get no valid device this time? [14:14] garo: "ls -l /etc/shadow" [14:14] garo: sudo -i followed by "passwd" would have been all to do [14:14] -rw-r----- ofcourse [14:14] Night_Elf: /etc/lirc/lircd.conf [14:14] blue_anna : no error at all in log "I mean no (EE) line" but there's this strange line : Panel size is not selected from config file [14:14] mcl0vin: then that's where your file is [14:15] ok [14:15] garo: owner/group? [14:15] how do i switch the keyboard layout in lucid? [14:15] thanks [14:15] nmvictor: i can edit /etc/shadow , no problem there [14:15] llutz: root:shadow [14:15] when im trying to extract files i got this ! [14:15] You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///etc/apache2/sites-available" [14:16] Why cant ubuntu maintain correct date and time settings between reboots? [14:16] garo: Read the RootSudo page [14:16] llutz: the only thing i changed in /etc/shadow is change the ! to a password hash [14:16] loic: I guess you have to manually specify the device too [14:16] somehow things keep disappearing substitutelessly here in ubuntu and i am really starting to get annoyed by this! rrrrrrrrrrrrr [14:16] Why cant ubuntu maintain correct date and time settings between reboots? [14:16] when im trying to extract files i got this ! [14:16] You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///etc/apache2/sites-available" [14:17] remoteCTRL: substitutelessly? [14:17] Twain_32: Normally only root has write access there. [14:17] Need wifi help. Connection is cutting off immediately in Ubuntu. XP connection is rock solid. Replaced Network Manager with Wicd. It worked for a couple months. Now Wicd is cutting off immediately after connecting. [14:17] so how can i extract zip files from terminal ? [14:17] nmvictor: do you dual boot with windows ? [14:17] Whats the next version of ubuntu by name [14:17] nmvictor: probably because your bios time is wrong, have a try with network time protokoll daemon; sudo apt-get install ntpd [14:17] nmvictor: It does. You have to see what settings you have for timezone and daylight settings. And also check whether your bios does have something similar as well. If it does, most probably your bios and your system can't find a common language when they negotiate about that [14:17] Twain_32: unzip file.zip [14:17] Twain_32: sudo unzip the_zipfile.zip [14:17] thanks [14:18] Twain_32: you want to extract to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ ?? [14:18] erUSUL: No, its a 10 GB ibook thus ubuntu-exclusive [14:18] Twain_32: Though it will overwrite without asking, so make sure you know what it contains. [14:18] geirha: i know what sudo is, but i want a root password, setting the root pass worked, but i can only set it to the same value as that of my regular user [14:18] blue_anna : there's a "panelsize" parameter that I can set in the device section... looks good [14:18] garo: Yes and that page explains how === hawker2850 is now known as asdkasldkasldkas [14:18] nmvictor: your bios is acting funny... maybe the mobo battery is waring off ? [14:18] sipior: where the hell has the keyboard indicator applet gone? where the hell have the entries for cdrom drives in autofs gone? where have the filetype associatins gone that open f. ex. gnomebaker if you enter an ampty cdrom, etc...? [14:19] can somebody PLEASE tell me how to switch the freakin keyboard layout in lucid?? [14:19] garo: if possible, don't mess with the root user and the root password, unless there's no other way to do what you're trying to do and you do know exactly what you are doing and what is going on. I doubt this, otherwise you wouldn't be here :) [14:20] !language | remoteCTRL [14:20] remoteCTRL: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:20] geirha: ?

[14:23] i an not been able to use system file as root also error-permition denied [14:23] nmvictor: well; not really. not mine anyway, if the mobo can not keep saved the date an time. ubuntu will boot up wi5th incorrect one. if you enable ntp (preferences in the clock) the time will be corrected [14:23] Twain_32, its Downloads [14:23] geirha: that would suprise me because at the moment i can get to root with both su and sudo [14:23] mcl0vin: tee without -a (-a append) [14:23] Twain_32, yes it is, linux is case sensative [14:23] ok for all of you who wonder where the keybeard indicator went; ITS IN YOUR NOTIFICATION AREA -.- [14:24] nmvictor: also check what does « grep UTC /etc/default/rcS » says [14:24] Question, should a 1 tb hdd upgrade work on my 2007 hp laptop model that has internal 160 gb? i can't access their chat because they don't support linux browsers, bastards, and i was wondering if anyone here ever tried that.

Anybody [14:24] Halitech,Wise_crypt thanks ;) [14:24] Pixar, do you know if its a sata drive? assuming it is based on the size [14:24] remoteCTRL: E: Couldn't find package ntpd [14:24] nmvictor: I's still recomend the same. this OpenFirmware thing has to be checked what does it say/have in relating to timezones and daylight savings settings. [14:24] i an not been able to use system file as root also error-permission denied [14:24] How do I tell [14:25] yes sata, that's not a problem Halitech, i'm only afraid if they limited the motherboard features/bios [14:25] linux: what are you trying to do? [14:25] !sudo > linux [14:25] linux, please see my private message [14:25] Pixar, what kind of laptop? [14:25] Climbing_Freak: what extra boot loader? can you give more details/context ?

[14:29] Twain_32: sudo cp file /var/www/ [14:29] Twain_32: « sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/www » After that you will have write access to it. [14:29] erUSUL: I actually set it to yes during the installation, i bet i dint know why. I'll try to set that to No. However, I like what you had started on the battery issue, Some Apple forum claimed that the battery has alot to do with system time, could you expound on that please? [14:29] Pixar, I'm using chromium-browser and i have no probs with hp.com/support/chat [14:29] also tried that [14:29] can vlc play mp3's [14:30] hmmm [14:30] Twain_32: gksudo nautilus [14:30] Twain_32: because you are a a (mere, mortal) user.

Check out lines 16 and 34 to 36 I think the answer is there but can't figure it out [14:30] nmvictor: if the battery has no energy the mobo can not keep the memory that keeps the time on and the memory loos its contents everytime you power off the machine [14:31] BluesKaj, maybe because you haven't selected the model yet [14:31] Twain_32: use what wise_crypt said with caution. You can delete all sorts of things with that if you make a mistake and it's a good way to mess your system spectacularly [14:31] thats what i thougght it does in windows [14:31] Pixar, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?

[14:34] lubuntu_user: bit early to be talking about a pre-alpha release, isn't it? [14:34] nmvictor: yes do « UTC=yes » and configure the system to update time via internet.

Im sure there's a way I can tell xorg.conf to do that automatically [14:39] loic, well did you find a driver for that ? [14:40] coz_ : openchrome ? [14:40] loic, I would assume [14:40] anyone here know about how i can get my theme in fit with a 12" screen? [14:40] geirha, Hmm... Oversight, I guess. Otherwise you could just add the user to the apache group or webadmin group or whatever. Wouldn't that be the "proper" way of doing it? [14:40] coz_ : without xorg.conf everything works fine except I have to manually change the resolution at startup [14:40] Pixar, make sure you close your browser , then restart...sometimes a reboot or relogin is in order [14:40] loic - i have similar problems in my laptop and the same via card. I guess it os not the video card, but the monitor, so i made a little xrandr script into my gdm - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution . [14:40] loic, mmm...

[14:42] dsnyders: Nah, it really just depends on the needs. In a multiuser system you'd typically create one or more groups, and give different groups access to different directories under /var/www etc. If there's only one user, you might as well just give it full access to it [14:42] @rileyp o/p is an error stating"it is rad only file system" [14:42] I just bought a IBM Thinkpad T60 :D [14:42] coz_, its an ATI Radeon 9200 (pci, rv280) [14:43] loic, yeah I know the link is outdated..unfortunately...

According to Synaptic I have GlibC 2.6 and I can't upgrade it because that's for newer distros. I can't upgrade my distro due to hardware issues. However, I really want to run this program. I've tried tricking it into thinking GlibC 2.11 was there via symlinks, but that doesn't work. Any ideas? [14:57] nmvictor, ah this is a laptop... I see... well that sounds like a battery issue for sure...at least that would be my first thing to check [14:57] So yeaj, anyonek now why I'd keep getting "The composite extension is unavailable" on a system with Nvidia GTX280? [14:57] nmvictor, its pretty unlikely to be the operating system [14:57] two-ten: don't suppose you have the source code available? [14:58] Lcawte, Okay... way out of my depth. rsync might be the way to go. It synchronizes folders between two remote computers (or two folders on the same computer). It is frequently used in backup scripts. You'd have to find a howto for details though. I've only gotten my toes wet with it. [14:58] sipior, I should, but I don't. It's a SecondLife viewer, but I couldn't find the source-code on her site anywhere. [14:58] coz_: so what would you suggest [14:59] nmvictor, well everything works with AC correct? the only thing it seems to be would be battery ... do you have another battery to test it with? [14:59] sipior, I realise that the easiest way to do it would be to recompile the program for my system, with my GLibC, that was pretty much my first thought.

It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [15:00] this can damege your fs [15:00] No bady answer to my question damn [15:00] ! remove ubuntu desktop [15:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:00] LjL, any other thing i can recover from my old installation? if you have any idea?

AFAIK, this shouldn't be done. And I belive a workaround is quite impossible. [15:01] !purekde | rethus .. follow the link for how to do so. you don't need the kde stuff unless you want it. [15:01] rethus .. follow the link for how to do so. you don't need the kde stuff unless you want it.: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [15:01] shiftingcontrol, the idea is to tell your system to run fsck on the next reboot [15:01] two-ten, the only solution I can see is using a full linux distribution version that has precisely glibc 2.11. [15:01] shiftingcontrol, that way you dont need a live cd reapir cd etc [15:01] KurtKraut, I agree but I can't do that due to hardware issues. [15:01] so no ideas on the composite drivers? [15:01] bastidrazor: i have xubuntu and have tryed ubuntu.. but still not need ubuntu and need to keep xfce. [15:01] BluesKaj, actually, I didn't, let me do that now. [15:02] but if it bo longer boots to a sceen that you can type in that will be your only choice [15:02] two-ten, so there is no solution for your problem. I hope someone can come up with something, but I personally belive this is not possible. [15:02] shifhtingthe guide i linked to tell how to do this on nect reboot [15:02] K|nG, why did you remove network/ interfaces/ ? [15:02] BluesKaj, That did nothing. [15:02] rileyp: i asked shiftingcontrol to do "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot. but that seem to have failed [15:03] can i ask about mail alpine in here? [15:03] llutz he ran fsck direct from a terminbal screen as root [15:03] KurtKraut, the only way I see it is to recompile the source code for the program on my system. [15:03] how can i remove only the ubuntu-deskop (gui) ? but still keep xubuntu? [15:03] on the mounted fs [15:03] llutz:i did wot you had said it shows an error -dialog box [15:03] eeeek! [15:03] hm [15:03] coz_: no, no extra battery. [15:03] two-ten, but SecondLife stuff are proprietary and closed-source software, right?

I dont use laptops so not much experience with them... even my clients dont have laptops [15:04] two-ten: you could always build the relevant version of glibc on your system. [15:04] shiftingcontrol: so it hasn't run fsck yet? can you continue booting, by pressing ctrl-c? [15:04] shifting control does it say bad superblock [15:04] Hi All! I have sound coming out the wazoo... well actually out of both the pc speakers and the external speakers. How do I disable the pc speakers? There is no option for it in System>Preferences>Sound.

[15:05] llutz:sorry i restarted the system to follow the tutorial in cyberciti.biz to run fsck [15:05] shiftingcontrol: never use fsck on mounted filesystems [15:05] two-ten: you can install the library in your home directory, and modify the rpath of the binary that you already have. [15:06] Fudge, I don't seem to have any independent control of the PC speaker relative to the external speakers.

Unless you ran some sort of Installer. [15:53] weird [15:53] KurtKraut, The HP website has alsa drivers for Fedora 3. Off to ubuntuforums... [15:53] Dr_Willis: There was an installer. I have an icon in the applications menu. [15:53] btw, is there a way to blacklist a package? [15:53] i want to uninstall 22-generic and keep 21-generic [15:54] only if a newer version than 22-generic is released i want to upgrade [15:54] synaptic [15:54] wildman reinstall it? [15:54] kv102t: then perhaps the installer also works as an Uninstaller. Check the second life docs perhaps. [15:54] sooner or later there will be another kernel update [15:55] wildbat: I did "reinstall" chatzilla (it's not actually 'installed', I'm using the trick to run it with xulrunner, so it's independent of Firefox) [15:55] Dr_Willis: Where would something like this be installed? [15:55] dsnyders, if it is availuable for Fedora, it is possible if is already working in your Ubuntu install. [15:55] Dr_Willis: ubuntu noob here [15:55] wildbat: the pb seems to be with a change to goto-url-external, maybe it's gone in 10.04's gnome? [15:55] if you updated kernel in software update you can downgrade in synaptic. off the top of my head search your local/installed [15:56] mark for removal then find 21 and mark for install [15:56] Can I synch my Nokia N97 with Ubuntu? [15:56] wildman may be ~ [15:56] I need to copy off the messages... [15:56] but i could be way off...i did that when i craped my kerel a while back but [15:56] my touchpad isn;t work in ubuntu,.. anyone help me [15:56] KurtKraut, Well, the sound is "working", I just can't turn off the PC speakers by themselves. [15:56] xea - search synaptic [15:56] there are apps for that [15:57] i have installed it [15:57] but still doesn't work [15:57] hello. how wubi image works? does ubuntu installed in wubi image use special file system driver? [15:57] oups [15:57] sorry xfa [15:57] wrong person. my bad [15:57] kv102t: no idea. re-extract the archive and rerun the installer you ran. or check the secondlife docs./homepage./forums to see how they say to uninstall it. You could look at the icons and see where its running from. to learn where it installed to. There Might be some uninstaller in the same dir it installed to. [15:58] oh wait was you [15:58] ye, search synaptic. theres stacks of fone synch stuff there [15:58] qdb, a wubi image is basically a linux partition stuffed into a file on the windows machine. [15:58] so im having problems installing/using vloopback. Im using 10.04. The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source. Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what? [15:58] Dr_Willis: I'll have a look now, Thanks so far.. [15:58] Mornin [15:59] dsnyders, there are some manufacturers that release drivers for Linux but crappy ones, without working properly. Another thing to consider is that Ubuntu changed to PulseAudio. This may lead to some regressions (stuff that worked in previous versions will stop working) [15:59] anyone knows which is 10.04's equivalent to 9.1's (and previous ones too) 'goto-url-external' gnome command? (sorry got disconnected) [15:59] Can anyone tell me how to change the ownership of my hard drive so i can actually save stuff to it T.T [15:59] dahmer, evenin [15:59] dsnyders, the best thing you can do at the moment is request for help at Ubuntuforums.org [15:59] KurtKraut, Working on that even as we speak. [15:59] dsnyders, is it unfragmented file? why then it said in site that it works slower? why? [15:59] jasper: what filesystem? [15:59] guys whenever i do this sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.9 /usr/bin/gem [16:00] dsnyders, if you don't get any reply in the following week, I suggest you to file it as a bug. [16:00] i cant get gem command available [16:00] any one knows why [16:00] llutz, its my the hard drive my OS is installed on, but split in two [16:00] jasper: what filesystem? [16:00] lemme try and check [16:01] hmmmm...i have a tmpfs mounted @ /tmp. is there a recomended way to empty it or can i just "sudo rm -rf /tmp" ?? [16:01] well im not sure hwo to check it [16:01] -l or whatever right? [16:01] jasper: sudo blkid === wildman_ is now known as wildman [16:01] I tried to shrink my tfs [16:01] I had a dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I erased the ubuntu partition (I did not know to run the installation cd to uninstall) now a grub failure comes up whenever I boot my machine and I cannot reinstall from cd ubuntu either. How can I make it so I boot into Windows 7 without the computer trying to detect Ubuntu? [16:01] i have ext4 and swap [16:02] 4 diff partitions, 2 of each [16:02] jasper: on unix-filesystems like ext4 use chmod/chown to adjust permissions. users usually only have write-access to their home and /tmp [16:02] guys whenever i do this sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gem1.9 /usr/bin/gem i cant get gem working [16:02] Dr_Willis: If i just delete the files, how can I delete the application icon in the menu? [16:02] I tried to shrink my extendd ntfs partition usin gparted..but error occured: [16:03] qdb, I really don't know too much about it. I only tried it once. However, if the wubi file is fragmented I can see how it could slow down linux running within it. [16:03] gparted dont play nice w/ ntfs [16:03] so im having problems installing/using vloopback. Im using 10.04. The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source. Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what? [16:03] jasper: 2 x swap? why? [16:03] says missing operand [16:03] jasper: man chmod, man chown [16:03] Volme size is bigger than device size.. Now i am unable touse partition help [16:03] Dahmer66: if i'm not mistaken, there's ways to make Win7 recover/regenerate the MBR. In old times the command "fdisk /MBR" on a dos commandline was enough, dunno now. [16:04] oh big menu now haha. [16:04] I tried to shrink my extendd ntfs partition usin gparted..but error occured: [16:04] Dahmer66, reformat the reased ubuntu partition [16:04] erased [16:04] you just said that pk [16:04] Sory my client [16:04] my bad === LeMoNiCe is now known as h32Lg [16:05] i added menuentry of freebsd to 40_* at /etc/grub.d/ and then update-grub with no referring to there is something add for freebsd [16:05] is there something i lose ? [16:05] hi, the clock applet freezes in lucid. Is this a known issue? [16:05] something should i add ? [16:05] hola? [16:05] I need help repairing that [16:05] hello [16:05] If i just delete the files, how can I delete the application icon in the menu? [16:05] menu editor [16:05] hola uLinux [16:05] kv102t: totally depends on how/where it isntalled to. if it installed to some place in your HOME dir. you can just delte the stuff [16:05] it's 17:05 now but the clock applet says it's 11:54 [16:06] kv102t: right mouse click "delete" [16:06] kv102t: you can use 'alacarte' to edit yoyur menus [16:06] alguien habla español? [16:06] then kill clock app and readd it [16:06] !es [16:06] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [16:06] so im having problems installing/using vloopback. Im using 10.04. The only thing in synaptic is vloopback-source. Are the binaries installed or do I have to build them or what? [16:06] if that dont work, keeps freezin then check bug tracker [16:06] dsnyders, so, even it can be fragmented, i also read about that, so it is not just a partition in windows partition, it needs some driver. .... now i think i know how to find about that, that technolgy name is said in wubi site. [16:06] if its not there report it [16:06] llutz, i found the commands here, but im kinda of new to how i would go about the actual drive changing [16:06] gracias ubottu [16:06] isn't there anyone here can help me please ? [16:06] ellayo: sí, pero ya te contestaron ;) [16:06] j0rd_: yes I can do that, but this is a strange behaviour, it didn't happen with older versions [16:06] jasper: where is the drive mounted to? [16:06] gracias a ti tb, wildman [16:06] HI i've to listen this radio http://www.elleradio.it/ascolta.php?op=wmp but i cant see the streaming player.. why? [16:07] Dr_Willis: /home/kyle/.secondlife-install is the location of all the files. and the installer said thats where it was going to install [16:07] checking [16:07] under: well with the op=wmp - i would guess the site is targeting windows media player [16:07] how do i accept a file through skype on linux?? i have ubuntu 10.4 [16:07] ellayo: de nada, good luck! [16:07] jatt if it only happens once, its deep magik. repeatedly its a bug, in which case you need to check if its bin reported. my buntu neetbook has had no issues w/ uptim ov bout month [16:07] kv102t: delete it then. the installer might also have an uninstall option. [16:07] honestly no idea, its all usb. [16:07] ;) wildman [16:07] Dr_Willis, yes but my friend can listen it with ubuntu [16:08] j0rd_: it happens repeadetly on two different laptops I have. Will check the bug database [16:08] Dr_Willis: i have opened the script, it has no code that looks like an uninstall [16:08] !jatt, thats strange [16:08] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:08] under: he must have some extra plugins enabled on his system [16:08] kv102t: delete the dir then and be done with it [16:08] j0rd_: indeed [16:08] is there anyway to just "unlock it" so anyone can save on it man? [16:08] lol [16:08] qdb, any file system can get fragmented, whether it is a partition directly on the hard drive, or an image of a partition on a filesystem. [16:08] clock [16:09] jatt how do you target msg @ user. i forgot and its frigin noyin [16:09] mm you mean that [16:09] Why am I getting a "permission denied" when I'm trying to run an install.py file? [16:09] Dr_Willis: OK, and use the other app to remove the icon. [16:09] /msg [16:09] i cannot find yet about that technology [16:09] dsnyders, ^^ [16:09] two-ten [16:09] byeee [16:09] go as sudo === jbutera__ is now known as pepsi [16:09] j0rd, okay. [16:09] how do i accept a file through skype on linux?? i have ubuntu 10.4 [16:09] two-ten: because that installer is trying to write in a folder you don't have access to [16:09] you just asked that === _uLinux is now known as uLinux [16:10] hey [16:10] what's the terminal command to see the name of the partition ubuntu is on? [16:10] i want to know whether image file can be fragmented, dsnyders [16:10] not contents of it [16:10] any file can frag [16:10] Ose: try 'mount' to see partitions [16:10] end of [16:10] Ose: df / [16:10] which is better a p4 dual core or amd sempron? [16:10] hi i installed a ubuntu netmix in my compaq mini it works well but problem with my sip protocol [16:10] neither [16:10] qdb: i would say - yes it can. a image of a hard drive parittion couldbe fragmented [16:10] Dr_Willis: umm, terminal command for delete DIR ? lol [16:10] pepsi: ? [16:11] Dr_Willis, he uses ubuntu, I'm using lubuntu [16:11] kv102t: you could use the file manager if you wanted [16:11] qdb, like I said, any file or filesystem can become fragmented. [16:11] wildman, it's a folder I made myself with non-root made files in it. [16:11] rm -rf/path-to-file [16:11] Dr_Willis: but folder is hidden from view [16:11] under: shouldent matter. you just need to install the proper codec pack/browser plugin that hes using [16:11] *rm -rf /path-to-file [16:11] dsnyders, may be, image file somehow be denied to be fragmented [16:11] !manual | kv102t [16:11] kv102t: 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/ [16:11] two-ten: but the installer may be trying to write on other folders too... [16:11] kv102t: time tolearn to use the file manager. and the 'show hidden files menu item' [16:11] Dr_Willis, tell me, can you see the player? [16:12] under: what was the url again? [16:12] two-ten: or to modify some config file, or... you get the idea ;) usually one install things as root, with sudo command_to_install [16:12] i cant access my voip through sip [16:12] help [16:12] Dr_Willis, http://www.elleradio.it/ascolta.php?op=wmp [16:12] dsnyders, so windows do not allow to fragment it, and it is not installed ad all if there is not enough continuous unfragmented space [16:12] i meant that [16:12] qdb, that's a windows question. Again, I've only tried wubi once. I have now idea about tuning it. [16:12] please anyone help me [16:12] <[WHACKOS5]kingha> llutz:system out SQUASHFS error [16:12] under: it works here [16:12] i added menuentry of freebsd to 40_* at /etc/grub.d/ and then update-grub with no referring to there is something add for freebsd [16:12] Dr_Willis, wich player? [16:13] wildman, maybe you can help me out, I'm following this, and it's not working: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-505 [16:13] Dr_Willis: OH Yeh === robin is now known as Guest86401 [16:14] dsnyders: don't even attempt to tune wubi.. if you need more performance then run ubuntu in virtualbox inside your current OS or setup a dual boot [16:14] under: its playing in the default totem player [16:14] dsnyders, i think it is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device === [WHACKOS5]kingha is now known as shiftingcontrol [16:14] Dr_Willis, can I install it? [16:14] KurtKraut, I ran a program called alsamixer. It gave me a textUI, which had a separate control for the PC speaker. I've now got it muted without muting the externals. [16:14] who needs a browser ---> totem mmsh://65.19.129.26/nuovaspazioradio?MSWMExt=.asf [16:14] llutz:SQUASHFS error [16:15] hm this clock applet is crazy [16:15] under: its in the package manager.. so .. YES you Could install totem.. and all sorts of other stuff. [16:15] hi, I cannot send email to Gmail via thunderbird 3.0.4 [16:15] KurtKraut, P.S. I found the solution on ubuntuforums.org, as you suggested. [16:15] Now I activated the option to show seconds and is jumping 2 seconds [16:15] and sometimes 1 second [16:15] under: vlc mmsh://65.19.129.26/nuovaspazioradio?MSWMExt=.asf [16:15] under: also works here [16:15] 5:15:40->5:15:42 [16:15] ca anyone tell me how to configure sip in empany [16:15] dsnyders, is there someone already saying this works on this thread? If there isn't, it is important to you to add a comment stating the procedure works. [16:16] ok so i'v come to conclude this is impossible [16:16] Dr_Willis, nice, thanks. [16:16] KurtKraut, The thread is two years old. [16:16] ravimaddula: are you connecting to a true sip server like an IP-PBX or a sip trunk? [16:16] where do you find that url? Dr_Willis [16:16] I'm about to do some hardware hacking on a keyboard [16:16] thank you [16:17] just sip protocoll [16:17] is there a utility that will print out key codes when I press keys? [16:17] under: i told it 'copy' the url in the browser/icon/player had a menu item. [16:17] Dr_Willis: xev [16:17] want to setup an acct in sip [16:17] Dr_Willis: Thank you, I seem to be all sorted. Thank YOU !! [16:17] drdozer: ^ sry [16:17] Damn, I'm totally stuck on this coroutine boost stuff... [16:17] for freecall [16:17] under: thats.. an err.. annoying radio station. :) of course i cant understand what they are saying. [16:17] Dr_Willis: And i now have the manual, Hope it helps me just as much as you did. [16:17] Dr_Willis, is italian :D [16:17] under: and its LOUD talking italian :) [16:18] ravimaddula: choose Chat accounts.. Add.. then sip [16:18] i have a freecall acct and i want it in my empathy as a whole [16:18] under: check out the 'adobe air' appication called 'antenna' if you like radio :) [16:18] ok thanks. [16:18] KurtKraut, There are various posts up until yesterday. Some say it works. Some say it doesn't. [16:18] yes i tried but not connecting [16:18] two-ten: not that expert... what are you basically trying to do? [16:19] also i installed tlepathy sofia [16:19] under: http://bcdef.org/antenna/ [16:19] Dr_Willis, w32codec should work with windows media streams , right ? [16:19] nothing happened [16:19] BluesKaj: i always have it installed. :) so it should.. but it was using totem as a player. so im not sure what all extra packages that uses. [16:19] wildman, I am trying to compile a sourcecode that needs nonfree libs, in this case the coroutine-boost library. And I'm trying to follow the instructions from that webpage, but I just get stuck at not being able to start the install.py thing. [16:20] ok Dr_Willis , thanks [16:20] two-ten: I didn't read the whole thing in the page, no time for that, sorry... [16:20] wildman, no worries :> [16:20] back [16:20] two-ten: and again, 'install' operations are usually to be done as root, with sudo [16:20] Yeah, doesn't work. [16:21] ouch, then the pb is somewhere else :) [16:21] under: so far every player ive tried.. has worked with that url. from teh command line.. mplayer, vlc, totem --> mplayer mplayer mmsh://65.19.129.26/nuovaspazioradio?MSWMExt=.asf [16:21] So anyone that has a minute or two to help me figure this out pm me? [16:22] i'm using vlc [16:22] j0rd, even when I'm logged in as su and do "scripts/install.py boost" it says "permission denied". [16:22] I have read write perms on it all. [16:22] how can i downgrade nvidia drivers in lucid? the 195.xx drivers cause a game to crash on launch, and the 173 drivers are buggy [16:23] the 173 drivers do run the game though. so i want something like 190 or 185 [16:23] kv102t: there was no need to run that installer for that game. :) it can run without installing from the directory you extracted the archive to. [16:24] Dr_Willis: Is it always wise to try and run an app before going through the install [16:25] how do I disable screen blanking? === v0idnull_ is now known as v0idnull [16:25] ? === Mud is now known as Mud|lunch [16:26] how is ubuntu? [16:26] tobiasz: xset -dpms [16:26] cant able to receive calls in gtalk (jabber) [16:26] kv102t: it dosent NEED to install. it can run from the dir you put it in. all the install did basically was copy it to that .whatever dir then made an icon. [16:27] Dr_Willis: I understand that. I mean other apps. In the name of keeping things clean, do most appz work without install. [16:27] i've got this triying to use ubuntuone "RuntimeError: Couchdb PID16711 exited. Permissions? " any ideas? === JEEBcz is now known as JEEB [16:27] Couchdb? === dowgaia is now known as v0idnull [16:28] llutz just this command in terminal? [16:28] llutz without sudo? [16:28] nevermind. problem solved [16:28] kv102t: ttotally depends on the app [16:29] why would the following packages be kept back? "linux-generic-pae linux-headers-generic-pae linux-image-generic-pae" [16:29] since switching to lucid, i've been getting seemingly random "input/output" errors. what log file should i check to narrow down the cause? i've already scanned my memory and it's clean [16:30] Dr_Willis: As with windows, everything gets messy. Quick.. is ubuntu better t not causing this issue. [16:31] kv102t: depends oon what you do, There was no need for you to download that tar.gz either. It seems that second life is also avail in some unofficial repositories. That would of been a cleaner way to install it. [16:31] what font does gnome-terminal use by default? [16:32] kv102t: i rarely find that i need to use 'tar.gz' binary pakcages for things. Most everythigbn has been packaged by someone to a proper repository [16:32] happosade, monospace 12 [16:32] i have dual OS installed, I want my michine start straight from the Windows partion, how can i do that? [16:32] happosade, sorry [16:33] happyface, monospace 12 [16:33] thanks coz_ [16:33] dewente: clarify. Youmean you want to 'boot' straight to windows by default from the grub menu? [16:33] Dr_Willis: is there a list of good repositorys to add? [16:33] yes Dr_Willis [16:33] kv102t: it all depends on whatyou need. dont add them just to be adding things. [16:33] charles_work: where do you see these errors? [16:33] i need a package to upload my images to picassa and get the url of the image [16:34] dewente: the 'startupmanager' program gives you a gui to select the default grub item. Or theres other ways to select the default [16:34] i want to do it throgut the Terminal [16:34] kv102t: other then medibuntu, theres proberly not many you should be using. [16:35] I know I have to edit a file, but I don't remember which [16:35] dewente: check out the grub2 docs/factoids/wiki page and forum posts i recall seeing it covered there.. but i just use the gui tool [16:35] Dr_Willis: at the moment it's all still new. i'll take it slow and learn some stuff about ubuntu first [16:35] !grub2 [16:35] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:35] kv102t: #1 thing to do is read that ubuntu manual. [16:36] Dr_Willis: I managed to add that one last night when I was looking at backuping up DVD's to AVI. got stuck (handbrake no longer does AVI) and i can't find any other software as good. [16:36] greezmunkey, they show up when i try to execute a command. eg: sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [16:36] [sudo] password for charles: [16:36] sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/aptitude: Input/output error [16:36] kv102t: i dont see any need to do 'avi' any more. :) [16:36] /etc/grub.conf [16:36] that's all [16:36] currently running processes, don't seem to die, but i can't start new ones [16:36] Dr_Willis: PS3 [16:37] kv102t: avi is just a container. so the term dosent mean a lot. I use handbrake to backup things - it works rather well. [16:37] kv102t: its all about the codec of the data in the container. [16:38] Dr_Willis: I see. But the format of MKV does not work on PS3 and whats good about the other format on HB? [16:38] does anyone know how to update clamav from the command line? [16:38] Hello, I'm trying to setup ubuntu to receive syslog messages from my router. I have setup my router with the IP address of my ubuntu machine. I have modified /etc/default/syslogd to use the -r flag. After restarting syslog though, I try netstat -an |grep 514 and I see no listing [16:39] charles_work: try this: dpkg --clean-avail - and then apt-get update (both as sudo, of course) [16:39] kv102t: mkv is also a container i recall. not a codec. You perhaps could of just renamed ot to be whatever.avi IF the codec was proper for the ps3 [16:39] Dr_Willis: and M4V ?? [16:39] yo === Phillip_ is now known as magik_ [16:39] kv102t: its all about the 'codecs' not just the file extension [16:39] m00se: are you still here? [16:40] greezmunkey, it gives the i/o error again: sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/dpkg: Input/output error [16:40] hi. could someone answer a question for me? [16:41] Dr_Willis: but they all have filesize and Quality changes.. [16:41] charles_work: try reversing the order of those. [16:41] charles_work: What about dmesg? [16:41] kv102t: 'codecs' have diffrent pros/cons yes === vastus`AFK is now known as vastus [16:42] kv102t: once you start reading about all the differnt video codecs and how the interrelate.. it gets... interesting [16:42] I just installed Ubuntu 10 and it's not recognizing my iMicro 150M wireless adapter.

[17:42] is it possible to do a fresh install of ubuntu, without having to back up data on a seperate volume? [17:43] tar-: not a huge one, I believe [17:43] tar-, just different front ends to dpkg ( I think) [17:43] tar-: not much. Aptitude is recomended as it's newer and has some auto-clean features. Use aptitude if you're in doubt. [17:43] hi, i've got a minimal ubuntu 10.04 install ( with minimal iso ) so there is no windowmanager or X ( there is an x server now but without it it made no difference ) and I can only boot with the "nomodeset" option due to my Geforece 6800ultra anyone knows howcome?

[17:44] wifinotworking, yeah, but i dont want to move to another partition either [17:44] Anarhist: I get a device is too busy error [17:44] Anarhist, sure? [17:44] CAPcap: either using . scriptname [17:44] CAPcap: You make that file executable by chmod u+x filename.here [17:44] shikhark, back up anyway, better safe then sorry [17:44] CAPcap, in terminal do "chmod +x file.sh" where file.sh is what you want to execute [17:44] CAPcap:you should probably use shell comands.sh [17:44] shikhark, i'm not 100% sure [17:44] shikhark, *not* [17:45] CAPcap: "chmod +x file && ./file" or just "sh file" [17:45] philw, Night_Elf, Halitech: thx guys :) [17:45] CAPcap: put #!/bin/bash as the first line and make it executable [17:45] my update manager does not notify me of new updates, i have to open the manager to know if i have new updates [17:45] Halitech, you're right, but I want to know if its possible [17:45] Anarhist, no problem :) [17:45] CAPcap: or calling /bin/bash scriptname [17:45] erUSUL: ahh, you beat me [17:45] CAPcap: also, you have to remember that the first line in these files HAS TO BE: #!/bin/bash [17:45] Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter.

[17:45] CAPcap: or writing in first line of that file #!/bin/bash [17:45] cCAPcap:save the file name in x.sh chmod filename 777 and ./filename [17:46] Anarhist: any ideas?

For some reason my GNOME bookmarks were all transfered into "Places->Bookmarks->*" ... how can i revert the changes? (I would like them to appear at the top of the list once i click Places) [17:46] hi [17:46] CAPcap: later examples of running script needs executable permission [17:46] shikhark, you don't [17:46] Lcawte, i'd probably just try a reboot, something is probably using your audio, but has crashed [17:46] shiftingcontrol: pleasee don't suggest chmod 777 if it isn't needed [17:46] Lcawte, unless you can track it down and kill -9 it [17:46] ah k [17:46] llutz:ok [17:46] hey [17:46] Halitech, ahhh...mainly that was what i wanted, i'm okay with backing up data, but not reinstalling all packages [17:46] thanks all of you. it also contains a command that has to be run as root, obviously it prompts me for my password. is there a way to make it automatically enter it/bypass the need? [17:47] shikhark: do you mean the package list? or you mean the actual .deb files? [17:47] yea. mode 777 is "A bad thing (TM)" [17:47] Ose: download a live gparted from sourceforge.net [17:47] j4k3r:u der? [17:47] Night_Elf: no. shebang line is not always needed.

[17:47] Hey, I am wondering how i can install Backtrack linux dual boot from windows. Is there some sort of installer like there is from ubuntu? [17:47] !backtrack | Phillip [17:47] Phillip: 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) [17:47] i copied the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to my new installation, as i was told here. the problem is apt isnt using those packages to install :( how to tell it to pick up those packages? [17:48] shikhark: are you wanting to save the actual .deb files? perhaps aptoncd is what you want [17:48] Does anyone know the backtrack irc!?!?! [17:48] CAPcap: I advise you do not run script that ask for root permissions if you cannot know what it will do to your system [17:48] Phillip: i believe you can download grub2 and install that as a boot manager (or lilo) [17:48] shikhark, I believe in synaptic you can mark all installed packages as a text file and then use that to reinstall [17:48] shikhark, look into "remastersys" [17:48] hi, i've got a minimal ubuntu 10.04 install ( with minimal iso ) so there is no windowmanager or X ( there is an x server now but without it it made no difference ) and I can only boot with the "nomodeset" option due to my Geforece 6800ultra anyone knows howcome? ( i booted and downloaded&installed the nvidia drivers and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that didn't solve it ) [17:48] Phillip: you just were told, see ubottu [17:48] onetinsoldier, Halitech, thanks!

[17:49] Philip:download the .iso file and open the iso file and click on install.sh file and you will get a systematic step similar to ubuntu installation before that go to backtaract site and check how to "dual boot" [17:49] shikhark: ok, roger. i'll still have ubottu show you the factoid [17:49] Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter. It's installed with ndiswrapper and shows up in ndiswrapper -l, but there's no "Wireless Networks" in the networking drop down [17:49] !aptoncd > shikhark [17:49] shikhark, please see my private message [17:49] it needs to be reactivated every time i reboot and the only way i can make it find it (that i have found) is sudo modprobe wacom [17:49] CAPcap: if script is fromm wacom it fulfills 'reputable vendor' rule :) [17:49] hi [17:49] CAPcap: add "wacom" to /etc/modules === ahmed is now known as Guest91567 [17:49] anyone can tell me how can i get this package [17:49] onetinsoldier, nice! thanks again :) [17:49] llutz: how do i do that?

[17:53] itheos: good question. i've never done that. i've always just used the cloning method used above and have it download again of the net. i think you could when you install, perhaps you could tell apt where to find the packages you want to use to install by editing this file --> /etc/apt/sources.list [17:53] Does anybody know why the program "DeVeDe" won't convert the entire movie for me so I can burn it?

[17:55] mek8630, let's start with making sure you did everything here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [17:55] sprung: I am not sure what you mean by restricted stuff [17:55] formula 1 racing is awesome [17:55] maco: roger. thanks for confirmation :-) didn't know for certain [17:55] or more, does it work for anyone? [17:55] i got nothing from that search [17:55] onetinsoldier, i am waiting for that better angel :D you helped too :) [17:55] mek8630, sounds like you didn't install all the extras that sprung just linked to [17:55] Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter. It's installed with ndiswrapper and shows up in ndiswrapper -l, but there's no "Wireless Networks" in the networking drop down. do i need to do anything else to get ubuntu 10.04 to turn it on? there's no blinking light on the adapter, but it works on my winxp machine. [17:55] mek8630, lots of video problems get solved by going through that list [17:55] !automate [17:55] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [17:56] my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on? any ideas? [17:56] mek8630, you're "supposed" to do those instructions anyway. it unlocks everything that because of legal purposes could not be released with ubuntu as a bundle [17:56] itheos: i would gues that the manual for 'aptoncd' might tell how to do it ;-) [17:56] CAPcap: sudo /bin/sh -c 'echo wacom >> /etc/modules' [17:56] ohir: so our unices are not sooo different ;) [17:56] onetinsoldier, ok thanks let me try that too :) [17:56] i have problems with my VGA accelerator and i need these packages and i didn't find it in cache search , any other ideas ?! [17:57] llutz: not that much :) [17:57] Halitech, sprung: thank you hope I can get it figured out. I wish Ubuntu and other Linux op. systems were as easy to figure stuff out as it is for Windows but everything else stayed the same. [17:57] hey guys quick question, is it possible to make a boot iso from Ubuntu? [17:57] itheos: cheers. good luck :) [17:57] I think this ubuntu one might be more trouble than it's worth. [17:57] I mean to write an iso on a Usb stick [17:57] mek8630, its not harder, just different :) [17:57] toughengineer: you can search packages.ubuntu.com for the packages and install the *.deb files manually (double click to install after download) [17:57] fcomtois:would explain a bit? [17:57] Halitech: I know I feel like I am lost all the time haha [17:57] i think they are RPM packages [17:57] channel [17:58] mek8630, welcome to the club, we all felt that way when we started [17:58] not deb [17:58] Halitech: everything I go to use something it needs 3 or 4 other programs or something to go with it [17:58] shiftingcontrol: I want to make a make a usb stick bootable from an Iso file, like I would do under Winxp [17:58] !compile | toughengineer [17:58] toughengineer: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [17:58] I've lost the upper right menu which contains log in/log out/switch user/suspend and IM statuses... which panel app is that? [17:58] mek8630, if you are installing things with synaptic it should pull all the dependencies with it [17:58] llutz: it worked perfectly thats exactly what i wanted. i was just going to run the script i wrote at startup but this is better. thanks muchly [17:58] How i can access a smb share by dosbox? [17:59] Should I ask my question again hoping one of the newer people can answer or is once enough? [17:59] toughengineer: if you seacrh the repo's you'll find those packages, [17:59] Halitech: is the the Ubuntu software center? [17:59] toughengineer: keep in mind that xorg is modular so the package names may be slightly different depending on the distro, however the contents are the same [17:59] its header was my username.... gone missing and can't find it again [17:59] Like This: I have a win2008 server whith a smb share with old apps... [17:59] yotta911: i don't believe dosbox supports SMB, maybe you can use wine to map it to a driver letter? [17:59] starghost that depends on how long its been since you asked [17:59] starghost: asking every ten minutes or so is pretty reasonable, i think. [17:59] starghost, never ask to ask - it is no problem to resend your question from time to time just not every 5 minutes. [17:59] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sagemath&mode=exactfilename&suite=lucid&arch=any: "You have searched for files named sagemath in suite lucid, all sections, and all architectures. Sorry, your search gave no results." This differs from Karmic. What is the reason? === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [17:59] and i would like to access with dosbox [17:59] mek8630, Ubuntu software center is another front end but it should work the same, just not list all the individual packages [17:59] fcomlois:yea it is possible make the desired file in.iso format and change the boot sequence in the BIOS u wnt how to make iso file in ubuntu ? [18:00] shiftingcontrol: no no [18:00] i don't find them in synaptic , and i think they don't have any repo in my source.list [18:00] shiftingcontrol: I mean I want to make a crunchpad linux iso onto a usb [18:00] Halitech: where do I find synaptics [18:00] !info sagemath [18:00] Package sagemath does not exist in lucid [18:00] bullgard: because that package doesn't exist in lucid [18:00] what's the name of the applet that is a menu and contains my username and IM status and log out/restart etc. [18:00] toughengineer: sounds like i would try packages.ubuntu.com, but other than that you would have to compile by source; i have tried compiling those packages by source and they are a real pain [18:01] bullgard: doesnt work with python 2.6 [18:01] I'm mounted the share in a folder [18:01] peppo: indicator applet session [18:01] bullgard: if i remember right [18:01] > but when i try access, dosbox said "folder no exists" [18:01] maco: superb insite [18:01] insight even [18:01] fcomlois:yea it is possible make the desired file in.iso format and change the boot sequence in the BIOS u wnt how to make iso file in ubuntu ? [18:01] trism, how to add it? [18:01] anyone able to play flash on this site? http://speedtest.net/. it tells me that my flash plugin is out of date. i use v.10.xx.xx [18:01] how could i compile the source ? [18:01] toughengineer: you don't need to [18:01] maco: Ah! Thank you for explaining. [18:01] mek8630, not totally sure but under the admin menu I believe [18:01] toughengineer: they should be in the repo [18:01] peppo: right click the panel, add to panel, indicator applet session [18:01] hello, i have set up a jabber account at jabber.org and created it in empathy but can i add a couple of msn contacts to it?anyone knows how this is done? [18:01] fcomtois:sorry haven't heard! [18:01] shiftcontrol: grub2 does not support booting from an iso file yet [18:01] toughengineer: if you want to go into #ubuntu-offtopic i'll help with that [18:02] trism, that's not it. at least, I added it again and it added another couple of icons, but not the one with my username etc [18:02] Hey - I'm using the latest Ubuntu on a virtual box and everything is working great - I'm trying to access my Ubuntu One preferences to turn Sync on. I click where it says my name on top and then Ubuntu One... go to my account, but there's no option to sync. I followed all the directions in the Ubuntu FAQ. What should I do to enable the Ubuntu One Syncing? [18:02] my wireless card (compaq w200) worked fine in windows xp, and now won't even be recognized in lshw, how do i let it see the wireless card (i even tried installing the windows driver for it in linux and it says its not there). i tried fn+f2 to on and off it and there were no bios options to turn it on? any ideas? [18:02] wifinotworking: sure so then how does liveCD works? [18:02] shiftingcontrol: live cds have extracted iso's on them, not the iso file [18:02] trism, oh sorry there it was. thanks! [18:02] starghost: i think you just set which folders sync and they do it automatically when anything changes === waheedi_ is now known as waheedi [18:03] Halitech: thank you I found it, so should I just start installing my programs/apps with this synaptics? [18:03] shiftcontrol: you can go to #grub2 or #grub to confirm this [18:03] onetinsoldier, ok wow its working. i think i couldnt recover all the packages :( its ok i will do it now onwards :) thanks [18:03] maco: ok, the thing is in my device list tab there are no computers listed because in ubuntu login website they never asked me to sync a computer [18:03] wifinotworking:ok . . . === theos is now known as itheos [18:04] this is the result of my search in ubuntu packages " Sorry, your search gave no results " [18:04] mek8630, there or the software center, both are good [18:04] Hi. Still having the problem with the wireless adapter. It's installed with ndiswrapper and shows up in ndiswrapper -l, but there's no "Wireless Networks" in the networking drop down. do i need to do anything else to get ubuntu 10.04 to turn it on? there's no blinking light on the adapter, but it works on my winxp machine. [18:04] toughengineer: i think someone offered to help you in #ubuntu-offtopic, i forgot who it was though [18:04] itheos: roger that. good to hear it's working :) [18:05] onetinsoldier, the cloning isnt working:(( [18:05] i am there [18:05] no response till now [18:05] dforthman: try a lspci and lshw -C networking to see if its displaying there [18:05] toughengineer: Xfree86? we use X11 in ubuntu [18:05] * itheos gives itheos a baseball bat [18:05] onetinsoldier, for example it gives this "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "libprotobuf3"" [18:05] it says for everything [18:05] Halitech: oh wow I don't know if I could ever get this synaptic figured out, sometimes I feel like giving up and going back to the crap os windows just because at least I know what I am doing. [18:06] wifinotworking, it's listed in lsusb with the same device id as what's listed in ndiswrapper -l [18:06] toughengineer: er, X.org's X11... as opposed to XFree86's X11 implementation [18:06] my VGA card require it for installation maco [18:06] and i don't find my xorg.conf [18:06] Got it guys, with much trial and error I finally got the computer setup box to come up [18:06] itheos: don't worry about those untill it's all done. make note of the package names though [18:06] mek8630, I use the search function alot but the software center is just as good [18:06] toughengineer: /etc/xorg/xorg.conf [18:06] toughengineer: it oesnt exist by default because mostly things are autoconfigured [18:06] toughengineer: you can just *make* an /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:07] I'm trying to open desktopcouch with this command: xdg-open .local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html ... problem is that it tries to open the page with Chrome (which I dont have installed). Where can I change the preferred browser for this xdg-open utility? [18:07] wifinotworking, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:07] Halitech: thanks, that right [18:07] onetinsoldier, ok:) [18:07] and when i make it .. what should i write in it ? [18:07] wifinotworking, not that its usually there unless you make it manually [18:07] itheos: is it installing most all of the packages though? i hope it is [18:07] nops [18:07] toughengineer: you don't need to make it [18:07] its not installing anything onetinsoldier [18:07] toughengineer: it's in the ubuntu repos - pre-compiled and waiting for you to use [18:07] ikonia: sometimes you do need to make it [18:07] ikonia: huh? [18:08] the software package ? [18:08] ikonia: toughengineer is asking what to type into xorg.conf [18:08] anyone know what class to use in ccsm to get guake to use true transparency? [18:08] maco: ahh, sorry I thought he was still asking about the mesa libs package [18:08] Anyone have some knowledge about the network-manager?

However, Ubuntu live isos and many other live Distributions are loop bootable and can be booted from an iso using grub2. [18:11] what would be the difference b/w a library lib*.a and lib*.so? [18:11] gawd [18:11] benlieb, do /msg nickserv help [18:11] onetinsoldier: thanks man, I'll have a look [18:11] halitech, thank you. That worked great. [18:11] can I back up all my installed packages for later use? if so, how can I reinstall them? [18:11] progre55: roger. it's the method and guide i used, and i just recently updated mine to 10.5's [18:12] davidov009, glad to help out, took me a while to figure it out [18:12] hi, does some know when https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntuone-servers/+bug/571548 will be available - I've just purchased some music but can't download it [18:12] my desktop effects stopped from that and my accelerator too and when i type aticonfig it tells me that there is no driver detected .. although i can see it in VGA grep and i got my support installation .run from AMD but i still can't find my xorg.conf ... so tell me please what to do in steps [18:12] Jordan_U: last i spoke with the grub2 programmers 6 months ago they said iso formats were not supported by grub2 [18:12] onetinsoldier: cool! hope this helps to fix my bootsplash and also my brightness controll in my vaio [18:12] Anyone know if there is a version of itunes for ubuntu 10.04? Or do I have to run some kind of virtual machine or w/e? [18:13] Hello all. Can anyone help with a dual boot problem? Trying to get a everything encrypted (truecrypt and luks) and bumping up against my grub2 limits. [18:13] !itunes [18:13] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [18:13] progre55: what's wrong with your bootsplash? are you using 'plymouth'? [18:13] onetinsoldier: yeah.. still havent been able to fix it.. [18:13] wifinotworking: No, they didn't. grub2 has supported the iso filesystem and loopback devices for a few years now. I think you misunderstood what they were saying (for instance they may have said that you can't "chainload" an iso file, which is true) [18:13] onetinsoldier: all those nvidia fixes didnt really work.. or I kept losing my tty [18:14] ubottu, should I go through "sudo apt-get install banshee" to do that? [18:14] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:14] progre55: roger. your the fellow that was on here last night under a different nick? [18:14] Jordan_U: i probably misunderstood; wanted to boot from iso in grub bootup list, which probably is chainload? thanks. [18:14] hello [18:14] Hey does anyone know about the MultiarchSpec ? [18:14] davidov009, yes or look at other players [18:14] Lantizia: in what respect [18:14] onetinsoldier: hmm.. not really.. I mean, I was here, but I always use the same nick [18:14] what's the best php ide for ubuntu users? (i just switched from windows) [18:14] hello [18:15] Alright. Banshee will work for an ipod touch, right? [18:15] toughengineer: you might also want to ask your question on the ubuntu forums or try in this room later if no one gave u a satifactory answer to solve your problem [18:15] progre55: ok, roger. are you running on an upgrade from earlier version of ubuntu? or is this on a fresh install? [18:15] ikonia: In the respect of if it is actually finished and a part of 1.04? [18:15] *10.04 [18:15] davidov009, banshee should if they are mentioning it in the faq [18:15] onetinsoldier: fresh === prof_away is now known as Prof_BiG_BanG [18:16] i wrote it in the forum long time ago .. but these is no response although many ppl have the same proplem [18:16] wifinotworking: You have a menu entry for booting an iso file, but that iso file must specifically support being loop booted. Here is a good guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [18:16] davidov009: banshee or rhythmbox [18:16] Lantizia: it's a work in progress, the "finished" item you speak of has not been implimented fully yet [18:16] ikonia: The Wiki page claims it has been in 9.10 [18:17] Lantizia: fully ? [18:17] ikonia:Doesn't say fully or not fully - just says ... "Ubuntu 9.10 introduces support for installing packages from multiple architectures on a single system. This makes a wider array of 32-bit applications available to users of 64-bit Ubuntu. " [18:18] Lantizia: I think that's a fair statement, introduces [18:18] ikonia: Yeah but it doesn't tell you how, it may as well say Santa is real [18:18] Lantizia: what do you mean it doesn't tell you how ? [18:18] ikonia: I mean it exactly as I just said it [18:19] Lantizia: as in how it introduces multilib ? [18:19] progre55: roger. not sure what's wrong. what does the boot screen look like with this issue. random pixels? strange looking as if corrupt? plymouth boot screen should work ok on fresh install really [18:19] ikonia: it claims it "introduces support for installing packages from multiple architectures"... how? [18:19] l8tr dayz every1 [18:19] Hello. maybe someone knows how to install and configure vino to a remote server through ssh? [18:19] Lantizia: by using dynamic linking and following the FHS stadnard for 32/64bit naming [18:20] ikonia: So the packages are still complete seperate then? [18:20] Lantizia: yes, totally seperate packages, look at the arch tag on them [18:20] one second and i'll have a pastebin of lsusb, ndiswrapper -l, and ifconfig -a [18:20] hi [18:20] the wired ports on my router are going out so i need this wireless card to work [18:20] ikonia: OK so the full spec I'm guessing won't be until Debian decide how to do it in squeeze? [18:20] i do not like in ubuntu internet temporary files [18:21] i have english and french keyboards... how can i switch between the two using the keyboard? [18:21] where can i go to seek helpful advice on why i should not harm myself and find worthwhile conversation in the search for a reason to appreciate life? [18:21] ikonia: this multiarch scheme, I wonder is it in Debian too? The packages don't have a respective naming convention there to what I know [18:21] the reason i ask [18:21] is because i have seen and recieved [18:21] it save all things you do it in net .... i do not like this [18:21] alot of help here before [18:21] i have english and french keyboards... how can i switch between the two using the keyboard in windows i press alt+shift [18:21] ia32 libraries is how 64bit systems deal with it, Lantizia ... the support is for 64bit systems to utilize 32bit programs not the other way around.. [18:21] hi everyone! [18:21] Night_Elf: it's not a tool [18:21] onetinsoldier: well, first off, it's just a black screen, and right before I get to the logon screen, I can see the splashscreen for about 2 seconds. However, I can of course make the splash screen apprear for longer (but it's better to keep the black screen, as the splash screen looks ugly) [18:21] is there a software to cleam after me [18:21] can someone help me figure out something please -i've changed the owner of /var/www to "www-data", have added my username to that group and still i can't create anything inside that directory. any clues? :) [18:21] Lantizia: I'd make that assumption also [18:21] hellz_bellz, unavoidable, you can set firefox to clear it after every time you close firefox [18:22] what? [18:22] hemza: about temporary internet files, you should recommend ideas.ubuntu.com a /tmp on the ram for temp files, including temp internet files [18:22] halitech you make no sense to my question [18:22] hemza, unavoidable, you can set firefox to clear it after every time you close firefox [18:22] hellz_bellz, sorry, hit tab too many times [18:22] onetinsoldier: as for the splashscreen, it's not random pixels, but really poor quality. and it as this shadowish white stuff around the "ubuntu" word, and also around each progressing dot. [18:22] squid3k: you have to change the group not the owner of /var/www [18:22] i just got amarok 2.3.1 in my updates, but the coverbling applet is not there! did they remove it? [18:23] there are also alot of irc chatters here which adds to the pool of knowledge [18:23] progre55: roger. i have my doubts this guide will help solve you problem, but take a look if you want --> http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [18:23] ok ... but i need a software like CCLEANER in windows [18:23] hemza: what do you want to achieve ?

[19:15] magn3ts: 3.5" dvd-drives are rare [19:15] jonathan__: This has me completley confused =[ [19:15] !resetpanel | knxville [19:15] knxville: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:15] ikonia: ok, here goes. i cannot be absolutely 100% positive about this. but let me say, the first time it happened, i didn't know what had caused. second time it happened though, i'm pretty sure i can reproduce it. what happened is, I logged all the way out back to the gdm logon dialog screen. if i wait a bit, there is a nice little drum roll sound. well, i didn't wait before switching to a VT and on the vt i switched to, there [19:15] were error message regarding sound. something like... ctxfi: Preparing pcm audio , failed! - ctxfi: Preparing PLL output, failed! ...repeated several times. and a lot in my syslog. although i don't think it was looping continually in the syslog. anyway, what happened after a reboot, was i could no longer log into gdm. i could only type in a few chars of my password before the dialog window where i enter the password would diss [19:15] appear [19:15] onetinsoldier: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:16] llutz, so they are drive bays... that makes sense. lol then why do all the cases seem to always have "two 3.5" external" as well? dual floppy drives? lol [19:16] quit [19:16] onetinsoldier: I think better to use pastebin or codepad for multiple-lines, :D [19:16] Thanks alot guys!

[19:16] llutz, you mind if I PM, I don't know any decent channels to ask random q's? [19:17] !pm > magn3ts [19:17] magn3ts, please see my private message [19:17] magn3ts: #ubuntu-offtopic [19:17] right now i have namroka firefox i just want firefox [19:17] simar: (when using gnome) > right-click panel, choose 'add to panel', choose 'brightness applet' [19:17] ikonia: roger. don't think there's anything wrong with my hadware at all though. eveything works beautifully ever since i put this system together [19:17] onetinsoldier: except now [19:18] pcgeek32147: Namoka is the codename for Firefox 3.6 [19:18] pcgeek32147: is it out for ubunt yet? [19:18] oCean_, mine is uneffected even in brightness applet ??? what to do === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [19:18] ikonia: but i hear what you're saying with regards to being tough to figure out. but really, i don't think anything's wrong with my hardware [19:19] onetinsoldier: why don't you think there is anything wrong with your hardware ? [19:19] no its not [19:19] onetinsoldier: not saying there is anything wrong, just trying to understand your reasoning [19:19] 'm getting an error on boot. init: ureadahead exit with status 5 [19:19] magik_, do you know what you want the new size of the window to be? [19:19] oCean_, i think we have to find out some script that runs what we press the function keys ...!! [19:19] jonathan__: not really but i could experiment [19:20] pcgeek32147: until its relesaed officially, you are gonna only get the code named version...to make sure your firefox just works fine [19:20] magik, alright. Try this command in a terminal: "wmctrl -r :SELECT: -e 0,0,0,300,300" [19:20] i have a ext2 drive which I share between windows and linux. when booting into linux it runs a fsck on it every time, how can I prevent this? [19:20] simar: don't really know.. I know, in /etc/acpi/events there's an asus-brightness-up (and -down) for me (I'm on asus atm) [19:20] Maletor,but you can still boot , right ? [19:20] BluesKaj: you are right [19:20] Is this the right channel for getting help with printer options in Ubuntu 10.04? [19:20] Does anyone know which script runs what we press function keys like inc / dec brightness ???? [19:21] oCean_, thanks for that . [19:21] magik, once you run that, your cursor will change. Click on the window you want to resize and it should be resized. [19:21] ikonia: roger. i am willing to run whatever benchmark or tests. i have run some before in the past, all chack out fine. i can run demanding game all day if i want, ect. no problems [19:21] Cinderella: Surely is [19:21] Can you add Tomboy notes to Compiz Widget Layer? [19:21] oCean_, now i think u don;t know the command that inc dec bright ness in nvidia x server??? === antonio_ is now known as baraka [19:21] yeah Maletor , I saw that error for a while too , but it didn't seem to affect anything. === Prof_BiG_BanG is now known as prof_away [19:21] BluesKaj: what did you do? [19:21] hi how can i connect with ssh different port? [19:21] simar: sorry, nope [19:22] onetinsoldier: running demanding games doesn't prove anything, but I understand what you're saying, the fact that ubuntu complained about a hardware problem with sound, then won't allow you to put input in does not look software related as sound and input are two totally seperate subsystems [19:22] baraka: ssh -p 2335 host [19:22] nothing, Maletor . [19:22] sudo apt-get install rubygems1.8 gives: update-alternatives: error: alternative gem can't be master: it is a slave of ruby [19:22] oCean_, ok no problem /... [19:22] BluesKaj: what should i do? === mAtArf_ is now known as mAtArf [19:22] even in a freesh install -- how do I install it? [19:22] magik, you can change what you want the window size to be by switching the last two numbers around as you wish. the 300's at the end are the width and height, respectively. [19:22] oCean_, hey whats acpi though ... [19:23] I did a darn big fail... Just uninstalled wrong dhcp-pkg and now i cant get an IP from my ISP, or DL that pkg agan. How do i solve this? [19:23] ikonia: just to let you know, i now make sure to wait for that little drum roll sound before switching to a VT. i only need to do that if i log all the way out. but if i wait just a couple seconds and let the drum roll sound play before switching to a vt, then no problem, everything's fine [19:23] simar: "adv config and power interface" handles all those kind of events [19:23] simar what are you trying to do with the acpi? [19:24] twomonkies: i think u can install it from cd.... [19:24] onetinsoldier: why are you switcing to a VT ? [19:24] onetinsoldier: are you switching to a vt because you can't login via gdm ? [19:24] ikonia: call me anal, but i prefer to close everything out, and log out, before using a vt, to restart X [19:24] baraka, you need to change the port setting in /etc/sshd_config [19:24] mickster04: oh... never thought of that. Will dl and test, tnx [19:24] hi all, I'm having problems to connect my just installed netbook to a wifi AP using WPA, if I configure the AP to use WEP the netbook connects flawlessly. What could I doing wrong? Here my messages.. http://pastebin.com/NfWHBEyi [19:24] jonathan__: cheers =] thats great exactly what i wanted thanks a lot! [19:24] BluesKaj: this is exit status 5 not 4 [19:25] onetinsoldier: how do you know it's an X issue (again just trying to sound out the problem properly) [19:25] twomonkies: wellif you can downlaod the iso, downlaod the deb file you removed? [19:25] mickster04, my brightness control from function keys is not working ... its a great prob for me ... cos i'm only bale to control brightness using nvidia x server ... dialog box appers but brightness does't changes ??? [19:25] magik, no problem. I also noticed that the command I sent you resets the window to the (0,0) position on the screen.. that can also be fixed by changing the second and third 0's in the command to whatever you wish. :) [19:26] how to recode my dekstop screen on ubuntu [19:26] any one know? [19:26] simar: have you searched https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu for "nvidia brightness control" ? Might render some helpful info... (and in best case a patch) [19:26] jonathan__: Yeah i noticed that also, thanks a lot man I really appreciate it =] [19:26] Maletor, is the error causing an apparent problem , or are you just worried ? [19:26] Method_man_: Do you mean Record? If so, use Istanbul Desktop Session Recorder (install it from Software Centre) [19:27] BluesKaj: the latter [19:27] magik, not a problem. I'm glad you were able to find what you needed. :) [19:27] ikonia: i have restarted X at times for a few reasons, due to giving tech support in here. for instance. in Lucid, some peeps have not been able to get an x-cursor-theme installed from a .tar.gz from gnome-look.org. well, i worked at it for quite a while one day, and eventually figured out how to get them fully and properly installed. but to see and/or test the results, you have to restart X [19:27] oCean_, thats sounds useful .. wait i'm trying [19:27] jonathan__: I've been using ubuntu and xubuntu for about a month now and I'm just getting used to it. I love it much more than windows. [19:27] simar: have to run, but good luck with that! [19:28] Yo, I would like to install the amazon mp3 downloader, but I get this error: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-filesystem1.34.1" Does anyone know a work-around? [19:28] onetinsoldier: sorry, not what I meant. I meant why are you restarting X or switching to VT's to login / out ? [19:28] Dude I really wish someone could tell me what recent updates fixed that made machine not sluggish anymore. [19:28] magik: Glad to see you using Ubuntu, :) Thanks, :) I personally like more and more people to use Ubuntu-Linux [19:28] ikonia: well, i think i just explained one reason why i restarted X [19:29] onetinsoldier: not in relation to the problem you're having [19:29] rocket16: =] Why are you saying thanks? [19:29] magik, that's great! :) [19:30] I think it's great too , what were we talking about ? [19:30] ikonia: no, it's just that i encountered the bug when doing so. there are symptoms, and causes. i don't know the cause, only the symptom [19:30] TheGrammarFreak: You need to install that package, to do so, use this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.40.0 [19:31] onetinsoldier: ok, I see [19:31] magik: I thanked, since you made your way to Ubuntu. So, we now have +1 Ubuntu user, :) And thus grows our Communtiy [19:31] * community [19:31] ikonia: or maybe i didn't say that quite right. but anyway, i only wanted to restart X. i know i probably didn't need to log all the way, then go to a VT... but, i did [19:31] rocket16, I thought GDebi pulled in dependencies [19:31] rocket16: Ahhh i see =] Cool :) === luist__ is now known as luist [19:32] rocket16: My #ubuntu terminal is 100% always open (Unless my computer is off :P) [19:32] TheGrammarFreak: Sometimes it might not, so try that command. Does it work? :) [19:32] magik: Great! :D [19:32] =] [19:32] ikonia: not a big deal to me. this is the only thing that i've encountered that i have to watch out for. and now that i know, it's ok. just thought perhaps i should mention it, and perhaps report it as a bug... that's all [19:32] rocket16, I dunno, I just found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478214 And I'm not sure which to do now :D [19:33] is there any tool which generates a pictorial representation of include files in a code base??? [19:34] or any tool which can help me visualizing any codebase ?? [19:34] onetinsoldier: certainly worth noting a bug, the question is where [19:34] Maletor, exit status 5 appears to be failure of a script trying to start in runlevel 5 , probly related to a graphics problem according to google-linux , but it wasn't absolute [19:34] TheGrammarFreak: No problem, just try that command in terminal first: sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem1.40.0 and then, type: sudo dpkg -i *.deb and the others, :) [19:34] rocket16, I get the same error after installing that package, I'll try the stuff in that forum post [19:34] But thanks anyway rocket16 [19:34] ikonia: exactly! and i understand what you said at first, hard to know where to put this one [19:34] :-) [19:35] TheGrammarFreak: My pleasure, :) [19:35] BluesKaj: what should i do? [19:35] onetinsoldier: from your description it does sound hardware related (the input is key there) you may want to try cutting down the history and just logging it as a straight bug in gdm not accepting input [19:35] ikonia: might ba an issue with Alsa X-Fi driver [19:35] be* [19:36] TheGrammarFreak: One thing, go to Synaptic once, and search for libboost-filesystem and see, which version is installed. Uninstall it, and then, try installing the latest version, i.e 1.40.0 [19:36] onetinsoldier: that wouldn't effect input [19:36] ikonia: ahh, roger. i understand what you're saying. but boy, does this go beyond gdm i think, hehe [19:37] onetinsoldier: I would agree, but you have to start somewhere [19:37] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2xfwQGm1tY << tauchpad [19:37] Hey whats the channel for anope? [19:38] ikonia: i think i should let you. after this happens, i get no sound whatsoever anymore. when i'd boot, i wouldn't get the little drum roll sound when gdm came up anymore. sound was kaput. the second time this happened, i though, rather than reinstall, i'd try different kernel to see if that would clear it out. no dice [19:38] rocket16, I have it working now, apparently both versions, 1.4 and 1.34 can co-exist fine. :D [19:38] 'ubuntu de [19:38] #ubuntu de [19:38] ikonia: i thought* [19:38] question re: hadoop support [19:38] opelig: /j #ubuntu-de [19:39] currently the ColumnFamilyInputFormat does not support using a key range (see: http://www.mail-archive.com/user@cassandra.apache.org/msg01999.html) [19:39] onetinsoldier: I'd keep this as a gdm bug - then progress from there, as gdm is what plays the sound (well using gnome it does) [19:39] ikonia: roger. thanks for the help and for listening. i appreciate it [19:39] ..........

Does it actually break updates? [20:17] magik: You are most welcome, my friend, :) Glad to know you liked [20:17] alise: i don't think so, no [20:17] alise: It won't affect you until you upgrade from a version to the next (10.04 to 10.10, for instance) and if you use update-manager to do that upgrade, it'll take care of it. [20:17] dubbe: easiest would be to uninstall evolution, you could also delete /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/evolution instead. it is supposed to be possible to copy that file to ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/ but I haven't been able to get that to work consistently [20:18] Flannel: Right then, I'll just go ahead and purge the vital system package known as ALSA. [20:18] Flannel: It's a good thing I know what I'm doing, or this would arguably be insanely stupid. [20:18] onetinsoldier: Flannel: Thanks for the help. [20:18] alise: it just a package that points to a lot of other dependencies. it doesn't actually provide anything in and of itself i don't hink [20:18] trism: uninstall should be the best solution, thank you very much... [20:18] dubbe: that is, copy it and then the indicator applet should ignore it (may or may not work though) [20:18] think* [20:18] alise: you're welcome [20:19] can't solve a problem with my SD/MMC card reader in lucid [20:19] jpsurfling: what vendor?

[20:22] and nothing happens [20:22] onetinsoldier: kthnx [20:22] jpsurfling: ok [20:22] slacker_nl: Yep. I've never done it personally, but there are sections in the manual on that stuff. [20:22] Flannel: k, will give it a shot [20:22] hey i just downloaded sauerbraten now how do i install it? [20:23] jpsurfling: look at dmesg, especially at last lines after you insert the card [20:23] there's a command that i can't remember right now where we can see that there are something inserted [20:23] that's it "dmesg" [20:23] slacker_nl: I think for professional use, KMyMoney is better. Also, Eqonomize is a great application for professionals. Qalculate downloads the exchange rates, so it is a good financial calculator. [20:23] magik: Is there some specific problem you're having? [20:24] soreau: No just last time i tried on xubuntu it wouldnt work. [20:24] dmesg tells me that card is inserted [20:24] rocket16: i don't need exchange rates, but why is kmymoney better for pro use? [20:24] Good day all , is it better to upgarde from 9.04 to 10.04 or redownload image of 10.04 ?

I just need someone to guide me through it. [20:26] rocket16: k [20:26] alabd: alternate CD :) [20:27] aganice: Does it get hanged everyday during start? Or simply craches at bootup? [20:27] mirat: i havn't played with wubi myself, but i think the whole point is that it installs alongside with windows without creating a separate partition [20:27] magik: What are you running in the terminal and alt+f2? this is conky? does it give any interesting output? [20:27] jpsurfling: found something.... http://bb.cactii.net/archives/000174.php --> SD/MMC cardreader Detected, needs a small tweak to work Use "setpci -s 02:06.2 4c.b=02" to get it working [20:27] soreau: I don't understand what you mean.

What are you running? [20:28] dubbe: mirat: Yes, it creates a Virtual Disk within drives of Windows, and makes an entry in bootmenu of Windows.

What kind of GPU do you use? nvidia --> use the nvidia settings tool of the property driver. Intel: use Xrander meu >system >preferneces >Display. Old ATI cards: Use Xrander (same as INtel) Newer ATI cards. (the whole HDxx series): You can decide between the opensource or the property driver. If you use the property driver, then use the GUI of the property driver to configure dual screen. Normally you don't have [20:54] happyface: no, thats likely to break something [20:54] !wfm | cornflake [20:54] cornflake: 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/ [20:54] hi, what are the differences between kubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 10.04 for the sound management, 'cause on kubuntu sound is working out of the box, and on ubuntu no... [20:54] guntbert: I didn't say it wouldn't break anything... [20:55] minimec, Funnily enough, I've done that. that's why I'm down to forcing it [20:55] happyface: don't make such misleading statements here please [20:55] guntbert: it wasn't misleading at all, I'm not trying to mislead people [20:55] whats the command to see what version of kde your running [20:55] happyface: it wasn't the sort of useful answer that users in a support channel expect, at any rate. [20:56] happyface: lets drop it [20:56] another thing... what release should i install in a 384 MB machine? [20:56] TheGrammarFreak: Done what? [20:56] minimec, what you just said. The GUI config stuff *doesn't work* [20:57] Can anyone help me with an Ubuntu 2.6.34 kernel image install problem? Some scripts in /etc/kernel/postinst.d fail to execute - namely symlink-hook.. is this important? [20:57] TheGrammarFreak: What gpu, which GUI? [20:57] is there any good rss-feeds i should reed? except planet-ubuntu? [20:57] hey guys [20:57] im running ubuntu 10.04 .. how can i check which scripts are initiated on boot? [20:57] minimec, nVidia G102M, the config stuff that's with that [20:57] is it all in /etc/init.d ? [20:58] you can always upgrade incrementally from one version to the next, I don't see the problem here, boys [20:58] minimec, The driver off the website [20:58] Anyone, is it possible to sync notes from an Ipaq done in outlook with anything in Ubuntu? Tried VM ware and many others but cant get anything to work. Desperate to get rid of Windows. [20:58] matyd: not sure. how about dpkg -l kubuntu-desktop ? [20:58] randerzander: what version of ubuntu? [20:58] what kind of release should i install in a 384 MB RAM machine? [20:58] 10.04 [20:58] TheGrammarFreak: Did you compilöe the driver of the website?? You didn't try the ubuntu solution matyd: or perhaps... dpkg -l kdelib*|grep ^ii [20:59] minimec, I've tried both, both fail. Hence me manually massing with xorg.conf [20:59] *messing [20:59] randerzander: how? I see Version 2.6.32.22.23 (lucid) [20:59] Boa Tarde a Todos!!!! [20:59] the last one was it onetinsoldier [20:59] thanks a bunch [20:59] elux: no, its primarally in /etc/rc.[0-5].d [20:59] matyd: sure, you're welcome [20:59] guntbert: in postinst.d/ I have force-build-link, grub_conf, initramfs, symlink-hook, and yaird [21:00] how do i run /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches as a nonroot?

[21:01] is there a good way i could save it? [21:01] unixbum, [21:01] pederazino [21:01] :) [21:01] Tihomir muha [21:01] if this doesnt work then I'm gonna crawl up under a stone and cry [21:01] TheGrammarFreak: I can only speak for may GeForce 7600 install. I use (still a 9.04 install) the property driver and configured my dualscreen setup via the nvidia GUI. YOu need to run it with sudo rights, as the GUI will create a /etc/xorg.conf. [21:01] da vi eba maikata [21:01] grozna [21:01] Can someone tell my why my aptitude doesn't find this package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/libstring-crc32-perl/1.4-2 ?

[21:02] what's the best disk space manager for ubuntu? [21:02] how to tell which of the following is my wireless interface - wlan or eth0?

[21:03] what's the best disk manager for ubuntu to see where most of your space is used up? [21:03] infid: thanks. why wicd-client can't find any networks? [21:03] elux: it is, but i dont remember the name [21:03] trism: in my sources.list, there's a line "deb http..... universe ...", so i assume it's enabled [21:03] Is there any good guide on how to setup pptp vpn server in ubuntu 10.04 ?? [21:03] private_meta: might be a problem with your /etc/apt/sources.list file. don't know. want me to see if i can install it? apt-cache shows it as available [21:03] private_meta, it's not enabled if there's a # before it [21:04] owen1: who knows [21:04] infid: i have BCM4312 [21:04] i manipulete this scripts by hands [21:04] Daekdroom: that I know, it's not commented out [21:04] TheGrammarFreak: Well... That's another story,. Could be that your card only supports a maximal resolution of the two screens (like one 1600x1050 only allows a second 1024x768). [21:04] minimec, Windows does this fine [21:05] minimec, Linux should too [21:05] TheGrammarFreak: Ok. So that shouldn't be the problem. [21:05] TheGrammarFreak: I agree. [21:05] hello all, I'm trying to upgrade my Ubuntu from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS, but the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades#Network%20Upgrade%20for%20Ubuntu%20Desktops%20(Recommended) aren't working. No message appears informing me about the availability of the new release. [21:05] anybody know the run command for Graphical Disk Map,? [21:06] gusl: what happens when you try? --> sudo do-release-upgrade ? [21:06] gusl: what message does update manger give? [21:06] what kind of release should i install in a 384 MB RAM machine?

[21:07] gusl: it juast means, 'acknowledged' [21:07] just* [21:07] ok === tecumseh is now known as Tecumseh [21:08] acerimmer_: the update manager didn't give any noteworthy message [21:09] gunbert: thank you I just found it online [21:09] acerimmer_: it upgraded packages successfully [21:09] onetinsoldier: repos? cuz I can't think of anything that would kill an distro updgrade on gusl's box [21:09] gusl: i don't know for certain, but i think your /etc/apt/sources.list file plays a role in searching for new versions. you might need to paste on a pastebin and give url so people here can look it over. again, i'm not certain [21:10] I have the install CD up and running, but the networkmanager shows only some wireless connections but not mine. iwlist wlan0 scan shows the same thing. does anyone know what this would be indicative of? [21:10] i gotta tell you guys [21:10] acerimmer_: yeah, i'm not sure [21:10] ubuntu sucks :S [21:10] for server anyways [21:10] Ok... I installed every nvidia package and... surprise... it solved my problem! [21:10] for desktops it amazing.. [21:10] elux: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:10] my network is unencrpted btw [21:10] for servers it creates a lot of bloat [21:10] im just frusterated [21:10] Now I wanna know what freaking package it was that solved my problem so I can uninstall the rest. [21:11] acerimmer chkdsk /f = command not found [21:11] gusl: maybe you could download the iso and install on top of present partitions. only thing is 10.04 uses ext4 and 8.04 did not [21:11] hi all [21:11] gusl: you might have to wait a bit : I was told that the suggestion to upgrade an LTS is witheld until the "1. point release" due in june (or so) [21:11] elux: ubuntu server edition or what? [21:12] purerumble: hmm... open a terminal and do sudo apt-get autoremove ... That should do... [21:12] gunbert: are there any other cool apps for ubuntu? [21:12] is there a simple way to make a startup disk of a non ubuntu distro using ubuntu ? [21:12] or very useful apps [21:12] I mean a usb one [21:12] brontosaurusrexw: yes. i installed it on new hardware and im getting kernel errors for whatever reason. i think the kernel is too old for my nehalem system [21:12] guntbert: i read it was going to be early july [21:12] brontosaurusrexw: which is pretty brutal. im going to install archlinux [21:12] !tab | bricky [21:12] bricky: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:12] Eit_: unetbootin google [21:12] thanks [21:13] onetinsoldier: you memory might be better than mine - so make it july :-) [21:13] I like the zoom feature myself, compiz fusion doesnt 'fully work' it works somewhat, [21:13] guntbert: cheers [21:13] when you do a sudo apt-get install command, where does that file go directly to?? [21:13] onetinsoldier: pasted at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/URrwM7fj [21:13] bricky: open software center and see for yourself [21:13] minimec, autoremove removes packages that are not necessary. I installed all those nvidia packages manually. so autoremove wont do [21:14] I cant get the cube or the fire, but I can zoom in, have my windows wobble, [21:14] gunbert: that reminds me, that is repo based huh? [21:14] hi all. is there a CLI based utility to send files to devices over bluetooth? something like gnome's bluetooth-sendto, but without requiring graphic display ? [21:14] I have the install CD up and running, but the networkmanager shows only some wireless connections but not mine. iwlist wlan0 scan shows the same thing. does anyone know what this would be indicative of? I don't think networkmanager can see unencrypted networks? [21:14] bricky, you using an Ati radeon card? [21:15] bricky: What doesn't 'fully work' about it? [21:15] gusl: well, hmmm.... ping -c 2 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com - ping: unknown host http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com [21:15] oops.. my bad [21:15] skulski, probably your access point is using a channel, that is not supported by your wireless card... === shde is now known as \shade\ [21:15] when you do a sudo apt-get install command where does it install that file? [21:16] Dizkonnekted: Yes [21:16] purerumble: That may be true but and somehow maybe not, if we talk about a lib* package with no dependancies... MAybe you find something in the history of synaptic. [21:16] rdz:: it connects fine in windows. could this be a linux driver thing? [21:16] gusl: ok, that host responded ok. not sure. maybe what guntbert said. wait until service point 1 release? i wouldn't think you'd have to wait though [21:16] soreau: I type compiz in run, screen refreshes, can have some effects but I dont have the fire or the 'ctrl alt' cube [21:16] bricky, send me a pm, i have a couple of links you might find useful [21:16] skulski, yeah, but i am not an expert.. i won't be of any help, i guess [21:17] anyone know how to install the intel 2200BG driver? [21:17] Dizkonnekted: ty [21:17] gusl: maybe we need to see if that host is indeed hosting 'Lucid 10.04' [21:17] why is launchpad so slow [21:17] Anybody here today with grub2 troubleshooting experience?

[21:18] if i am in a directory, how can i search the files in that directory for a string of text ? i think grep can, just cant figgure out the args [21:18] skulski, you might try to identify your card and check some forums for support of your card [21:18] minimec, well I ran autoremove and it gave nothing properl [21:18] skrite99: grep "search string" * [21:18] cool, thanks guntbert [21:19] skulski, lspci might help you identify your card [21:19] minimec, yeah my wireless isn't working on my Dell Latitude X300 with ubuntu 9.10 [21:19] skrite99: no problem [21:19] rdz:: thanks. i know my card. i dont think my wireless access point is using a non standard channel [21:19] onetinsoldier: maybe get rid of the ".ca", in case Canada is lagging [21:19] gusl: at first glance it looks as if it's hosting Lucid, but you could try another. i should probably look the sources.list file over more carefully [21:19] skulski, what is it then? probably i know that it is supposed to work [21:20] when you apt-get install a file where does that file go?? [21:20] gash05: What do you mean with not working? That module is in the kernel for years... [21:20] gusl: i'd try it, but i have my doubts you'd see any change [21:20] rdz:: it is a Realtek 8192 [21:20] pci [21:20] onetinsoldier: whats up man === joshbuddy_ is now known as joshbuddy [21:20] skulski, ok.. never had that myself, can't tell how well it is supposed to work in ubuntu [21:21] i am currently on a ubuntu system nd trying to dual boot [21:21] rdz:: it's somewhat well supported. i've had realteks for a while and they've had pretty mature drivers [21:21] rdz:: thanks for you help [21:21] i want to replace the nm-applet with wicd. how to make sure nm-applet will not run on boot?

Compiz seems to work fine except (for me) one annoying thing: If I switch from one workspace to the next (e.g., to the right), the whole desktop moves to the right (i.e., also the icons and the wallpaper). On my previous setup, just the windows moved while the icons and the wallpaper where fixed. Is there an option to replace the previous behavior?

[21:34] cody_: #ruby can help you with that. Or try the ruby website for beginner documentation [21:34] minimec, i see. so what now? [21:35] jrib what about checking usr/bin [21:35] gash05: Just tell me why do you want to install an intel 2200BG driver (which is already installed), if you don't even need one? [21:35] residentgrey: he can run irb if he wants, but if he's asking this question, I assume it would be best to just read some documentation [21:35] domino, its getting better, send me a pm and ill send you 2 links you might find useful [21:35] irb?

[21:52] gusl: i don't know. you'll have to sort that out i think. describe your 'sudo' problem to the channel and see if anyone has an idea of where to start looking [21:52] kv102t_, you don't need a 64bits system. [21:52] kv102t_, it spends a lot more of RAM.. [21:52] minimec: What about just a terminal? That would be usefull. [21:52] magik: ... which would run in a terminal...

[21:53] i don't know if it recognizes my sound card [21:53] kv102t_, some people need 64bits compiled software for high performance, or more RAM. [21:53] what would be good for 64-bit (RAM) [21:53] gusl: ok. take care and good luck [21:53] magik: So use the Terminal. Install the xfce4-terminal and configure it whitout borders and stuff and transparent... [21:53] 4GB+ [21:53] minimec: I already have that, i was just wondering if i could actually embed it into my conky? [21:54] magik: You would'nt have the possibility to do any input... [21:54] minimec: Really? That sucks =[ [21:54] kv102t_:: 64bit can run 32bit apts (for the most part). its useful to address > 3G of ram [21:55] guys, can someone help me please, ive got a reaally simple question i think, but i cant figure out something.

[22:33] It exists because I can see the file [22:33] jesperv, sudo iwlist scan [22:33] jesperv, Or you can use the little network manager applet [22:33] bricky, if you explore the ccsm window you will find all of the effects listed in there [22:34] Howdy, all.

[22:34] christopher: I don't know then - something wierd on your system, I guess. If the file exists, you should be able to move it - especially with sudo, unless you've borked something completely. [22:34] aTypical, I mean the site.. [22:35] lol [22:35] christopher: you are on ubuntu right?? [22:35] xubuntu [22:35] christopher, sudo ls -lah /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new [22:35] Okay, so. I install Ubuntu, ver 10.04, and update it. I walk downstairs to get a drink while it restarts, and when I get back, I get a "kernel panic" error, with "attempted to kill init" as the reason for the panic. [22:35] christopher: this is not a xubuntu support channel, sorry. [22:35] I am sad face. :( [22:35] christopher: greezmunkey ls -l /path/to/file will treat file as a directory hence the failure [22:36] sudo ls -lah /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new [22:36] pure_hate: i think thers a easy way to genrate thew xorg.conf [22:36] christopher: try ls -l /home/christopher/xorg.* [22:36] gogeta, He only said he coludt ls a file [22:36] greezmunkey: I think this channel supports all variants of ubuntu.. even though there are separate channels.. or?

I'm almost sure that apt-get used to download files in parallel when different hosts where available; in my install, I have 4 different deb sources (ar,br,de,fr.archive.ubuntu.com) but apt downloads only from one of those sources [22:38] then it appeared [22:38] greezmunkey: tru dat, I've been using CentOS at work and assumed ubuntu did the same thing [22:39] Hey guys, is there a really easy to use gui for pvm or any other parallel computing program? [22:39] s1uck3y: you might need to install libdvdread4 and ubuntu-restricted-extras ..first [22:39] Wabi, maybe you removed the notification area or the windowlist from the panel? [22:39] christopher: I was going to ask that guy why he would give you a command that would only create an empty file on your system, but didn't have time. [22:39] well [22:39] libdvdread4 is already installed [22:39] it has helped [22:39] as if i can edit the file [22:39] s1uck3y: ok, good [22:39] then as far as I know my problems solved [22:40] Anyone know of a better xosview?

Is there something else i can do? [23:03] avg_guy: I don't think file does that.. you could do it with a bash script of some kind though [23:03] gagzilla, okie, I'll look for it now :) [23:03] magik: What do you mean it doesn't show up? [23:03] avg_guy: oops..

I think I found the fix but don't know how to apply it [23:04] wieger: I think there are many different irc servers to install.. I seriously doubt there's a general problem that makes irc servers not work in ubuntu [23:04] ok thanks all [23:04] magik: hit "q" to close the manual :) [23:04] magik: tried pressing q? [23:04] magik, use a better terminal [23:04] magik: "man man" will tell you more about the man command [23:04] Ok but what about for ping? [23:04] hi [23:04] man [23:04] How do i stop pinging?

It says starting administrative task in the taskbar then nothing happens [23:05] any ideas anyone? [23:05] I'm getting the blank display on another machine too! :-/ [23:05] christopher, use a editor in the terminal like vi or nano [23:05] ok [23:05] ubuntu is way to confusing for me. im gonna uninstall [23:05] haha [23:05] how do you save in nano? [23:05] christopher, Is your terminal in /etc/X11 ??? [23:05] no [23:06] mistii: ok [23:06] christopher, did you create a xorg? [23:06] christopher, f2 [23:06] yes [23:06] or f3 [23:06] but its 0 bytes big [23:06] mistii: there are lots of operating systems out there.. find something you're comfortable with [23:06] f2 is exit but will ask you to save [23:06] christopher, also, your path is wrong, as someone else noted [23:06] i hate windows. and i wont use apple's os. so i dunno. [23:06] someone told christopher to use touch to create the file!!! [23:06] anyone? [23:07] Hi all I having a problem with the windows in GNOME. Normally, I double click on the header bar and the windows will maximize to full screen. Now it does not work any more. When i double click into it do nothing Also it does not show any error message. I have to click the max button on the side to maximize it. [23:07] mistii, how in the world do you consider ubuntu to hard? what is the problem [23:07] its just so confusing. and this version im using is seriously ugly [23:07] Renn: what maks you think they found a fix ? [23:07] anyone else experiencing blank displays on installing 10.04? [23:07] mistii: use what you like [23:07] it is hard. [23:07] mistii, well... .. "what's.. hard.." [23:07] mistii: if you don't like ubuntu - don't use it ? [23:07] codes. dont know how to do anything with it. [23:07] ok [23:07] duongthaiha, System -Preferences -> windows [23:07] mistii, well, you ahve to learn. [23:07] mistii: there are other linux distros as well.. google for distrowatch.. try to top 5 or so.. or browser around and see if you find something you like [23:07] ikonia: can I post a url to the bug report here? [23:07] finally it saved to xorg [23:08] duongthaiha: Try right clicking on the bar at the top and What version of ubuntu are you on? [23:08] Renn: sure [23:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/+bug/549989 [23:08] so if I restart x it should work? [23:08] gagzilla, yeah i have, ive had amazing problems and tried 3 different downloads of 10.04 including the alternate cd [23:08] Dizkonnekted, how did you solve it? [23:08] towards the bottom "powersave=0 looks like it did the trick" [23:08] Dizkonnekted, I'm facing that on 2 out of 3 machines [23:08] Guys, what is the ping command usefull for??? [23:08] mistii, honestly, the way ubuntu is set up, you rarely have to use a terminal.. unless you just want to. [23:08] hey folks, i somehow managed it to crash my CTRL+L on any gnome terminal: normally this "hotkey" would clear the terminal - but instead i now always get "^L" just written on the terminal. what could i have done wrong? [23:09] magik: Seeing if a machine is alive? [23:09] magik: checking to see if a computer is on the net [23:09] fabio333: Thanks a lot it work. I dont know how it been disable to none :D [23:09] gagzilla, alsamixer didn't help any :( [23:09] That's a bit boring :P [23:09] magik: first line tcp/ip connectivity test. [23:09] magik: Well, useful though. [23:09] What if [23:09] magik: If you want shiny, use mtr. [23:09] Renn: that is a kernel boot parameter, you add it to your grub kernel boot line [23:09] EmilySC, you don't see the speaker in alsamixer? [23:09] VirginiaSteaks: in gnome terminal you can disable shortcut keys in the Edit, Keyboard shortcuts option [23:10] apparently i have not got the latest version. although i got it today, do i have to reinstall? im okay with this one. im just not used to using linux opensource. so no need to fly daggers at me people :( [23:10] ikonia: thanks, but I have no idea how to do that :D [23:10] gagzilla, i didnt sorry, i went back and even tried updating throught the manager, best thing i can suggest is you burn at a slow speed and check the iso with md5sum to be sure its good [23:10] mistii, well what version do you have? [23:10] VirginiaSteaks: you might want to check that they are enabled and that Ctrl+L is still defined [23:10] Say a computer is on a 10mbs connection and I am running my 120mbs connection. I ping the ip of that computer sending lets say about 50k bytes every few seconds. What would that do to the other computer on a lower speed connection than me? [23:10] Dizkonnekted, but it was fixed eventually? [23:10] Renn: look at the grub config files in /etc/grub.d [23:10] not sure actually. its a pretty simplified looking one. maybe 8.5 ive got no clue. [23:10] magik: Not much... [23:10] gagzilla, not for me, after 5 attempts i gave up [23:10] Dizkonnekted, oh [23:11] It would flood their connection with to many packets? [23:11] magik: No, they're very small. === pinto is now known as Guest2522 [23:11] What if i set the size to like 500000? [23:11] how to change the default disk that ubuntu installs packages to? [23:11] magik, Ping is a poor way to send a DOS [23:12] Dos? [23:12] Can someone help me get audio to work in Ubuntu, i'm running the live version right now [23:12] gagzilla, I see master (which did what its supposed to do), headphone which don't effect either speakers, speaker which has no bar and stays at 00, PCM, Front, Surround all do nothing [23:12] magik: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_maximum_size_of_an_ICMP_packet [23:12] magik, nobody here is going to help you try a DOS attack on another computer lol [23:12] I'm not [23:12] mistii, well, in all truthfullness, if your'e using 8.04, it sucked [23:12] I was just thinking [23:12] magik: DOS = Denial-of-Service attack [23:12] hi everybody [23:13] I already know how to ddos.

[23:13] cba [23:14] okay I found the 10_linux file in ect/grub.d but I'm not sure were it is I'm suppose to add this line [23:14] yeah. its pretty ugly ken [23:14] i installed it by sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop [23:14] magik, if you understand Ddos then you should understand dos and networking in general, unless your using some scripts you managed to download or something [23:14] gagzilla, yep, I don't see any way to change which speakers do what. [23:14] EmilySC, check the Output panel and verify that the Connector is what you want it to be [23:14] but now that i'm using it i can't find my other hard disk in the PLACES menu.. [23:14] mistii, wel, none of the ubuntu versions are all that pretty out of the box. [23:15] gagzilla, Says Internal Audio Analog Stereo. Shouldn't it be something external? [23:15] tryn to upgrade to latest distro using sudo do-release-upgrade -d and I get this: The upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 4286M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 1302M of disk space on ' [23:15] Did Lucid remove the services manager? if so, what's it's replacement? [23:15] Ken8521, neither are any versions of windows ;) [23:15] Dizkonnekted: I do understand it. I'm just not very strong in the ICMP section. [23:15] gagzilla, Thats the only option btw [23:15] EmilySC, probably- try some of the other ones and see if that fixes it [23:15] Dizkonnekted, :) no argument there [23:15] EmilySC, oh... well then. Sorry dont know the solution [23:15] do you know what can i do? [23:15] Slart: thanks, but that wasn't the mistake: i accidently put vi command mode behaviour of the bash itself into .bashrc. this was my mistake. but thanks anyway :) [23:16] i wanted those types of icons at the bottom of the screen. i heard i can get it from gnome-look but can it work on this build ken? [23:16] Jimmymaniac: preferences, startup applications? or? I'm not actually sure what the service manager did? === themill_ is now known as themill [23:16] VirginiaSteaks: ah.. well. you're welcome [23:16] EmilySC, one other thing to try is see if lsmod has pcspkr in it [23:16] gagzilla, Thanks for your efforts anyway :) I'm going to keep at it [23:16] mistii, you've yet to put together a question that makes any sense at all, let alone answer a simple question that's been asked of you... so no, i can't help you [23:16] EmilySC, if it does- remove it and see if that addresses your problem [23:16] gagzilla, Okie. What is LSmod? [23:16] Slart: No, actual services, the "daemons" to use the correct term, stuff like Apache, MySQL and the like [23:17] EmilySC, lsmod = list modules [23:17] i suspect i need to fine-tune that [23:17] Jimmymaniac: ahh.. yes.. now I remember.. nope.. haven't seen anything like that in lucid [23:17] --_-- why are people so rude to me. im new to this. [23:17] Can you run Xen in a domu under Xen ? [23:17] mistii, i'm not rude, you're just whining, and not asking a question, nor providing simple answers when asked a question. [23:17] Jimmymaniac: i know of a couple of command line tools, but, it would be very nice if there were a gui one [23:17] Does anyone happen to know the code to show ip in conky? [23:18] why did they remove the services manager if there was no replacement? that was a very bad choice [23:18] im not whining. something was advertised to me. as a ubuntu os. with icons at the bottom of the screen. yet i dont have any on this. there at the top. and its extremely simplified. [23:18] gagzilla, nope :( [23:18] * Jimmymaniac looks for an alternative [23:18] how do I add "i915.powersave=0" to my kernel boot line? [23:18] mistii, you likely saw a desktop that had a fair amount of GUI tweaking done to it. [23:19] mistii, as i told you a few minutes ago, the GUI out of the box is fairly simplified [23:19] how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card [23:19] magik: do you want both the public and private IP shown? [23:19] ross_, that depends on the graphic card... [23:19] wow, there sure are a lot of people here [23:19] as a first look i see "BootUp Manager", or "bum" in apt, as an alternative [23:20] very, not to my taste but i want to use this, i just need help in using this thing. [23:20] Anyway, I just installed ubuntu, but for some reason my wireless internet wont detect or set up manually [23:20] mistii, might i suggest youtube and searching the channel name gotbletu for some tutorials [23:20] mistii, then you need to be able to ask a question, which you've yet to do. [23:20] Everything must be working fine physically, because I have windows installed as well and it works well on windows [23:21] i really need to rummage up a picture to show you what i mean. [23:21] mistii: it sounds like you want one of the docks.. cairo-dock or awn dock are two popular docks.. if you're looking for something more specific a screenshot would help a lot (google is wonderful for finding screenshots) [23:21] mistii, do you have yahoo/msn/aim? [23:21] "bum" is not perfect, but it'll do for now [23:21] When I plug my headphones into my laptop, the sound doesn't mute on the laptop speakers. Any ideas? [23:22] !imagebin | mistii [23:22] mistii: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://tinyurl.com/imagebin and post a link to it. [23:22] that's weird... EmilySC does sound come through your headphones? [23:22] i'm feeling a bit desperate. can someone remind me of the keys to press to get to a command prompt and back out of it? i'm in the middle of a project, due tomorrow, and my mouse pointer just disappeared! [23:22] Yep! [23:22] hmm [23:22] i do want a dock, i believe it is a dock, slart where can i get them, you sound like music to my ears :D [23:22] Usually I have issues with NO sound... Now its too much sound xD [23:23] EmilySC: I think it's a feature that's missing on a lot of laptops.. I'm not sure if it's a audio driver thing or a motherboard driver thing.. sometimes you'll have to lower the volume yourself using the alsamixer [23:23] Arlight, there are too many people here, when is the best time to join? [23:23] Piccolo48: When there are less people here [23:23] Piccolo48, I don't recall seeing this channel quieter than this. [23:23] Slart, I tried using alsamixer but couldn't find an option that effected the laptop speakers [23:23] Anyone know the wmctrl command to resize a selected window??????????????? [23:23] Piccolo48, and I hang out here a lot. [23:23] mistii: they are available from the repositories.. if you open up system, administration, synaptic you can search for "awn" or "cairo-dock" and install them.. then they'll end up in the regular applications menu [23:23] oh, damn [23:23] Piccolo48, the more people here the more likely you will find an answer to your question ;) [23:24] oh, so many people here is a good thing, ok [23:24] i hear that #win3.1 is a bit quieter... [23:24] haha [23:24] Piccolo48, there are many specialized ubuntu affiliated channels try /msg alis list *ubuntu* - some of them will not be so intimidating [23:24] Except on dangerous dave friday, it's packed [23:24] i'm feeling a bit desperate. can someone remind me of the keys to press to get to a command prompt and back out of it? i'm in the middle of a project, due tomorrow, and my mouse pointer just disappeared! [23:25] EmilySC: well.. you could just ignore it for now and see if future versions of alsa will bring better support.. or see if there is some kind of fix/work around.. searching the forums for your laptop model number might work [23:25] Meh, I guess I'll follow the overcomplicated help guides. Setting up wireless on ubuntu is ridiculously difficult in my particular case [23:25] i'm on ubuntu 9.04 if that matters [23:25] Ok so is there absolutely no way to customize the "Places" menu? [23:25] chalcedny: alt+f2, type gnome-terminal and press enter [23:25] Piccolo48, what's your wireless device? [23:25] Hey guys, when I try to boot I get a grub "out of range pointer" error and can't boot. I tried reinstalling Ubuntu (and, presumably, grub), but I still have the same problem [23:25] Piccolo48, it can be challenging.. but it does work, works very well too [23:26] Anyone know what's up with that? [23:26] I dont know. But it works perfectly fine on windows (I have both on same computer) [23:26] That places menu would be so nice if I could add my places to it, but since I use none of the default directories for Music, Pictures, etc., it isn't very useful [23:26] chalcedny: Ctrl+Alt+F(2-6) for a console {ctrl+alt+F2 for example) [23:26] Piccolo48, well that's pretty much irrelevant, of course it works fine on windows... is it a usb or internal? [23:26] internal [23:26] Hi People!!! [23:26] I found it relevant. [23:26] chalcedny: ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gui === cbone is now known as cbone_away [23:27] Piccolo48, open up a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter, it'll list your pci devices, find your wireless device [23:27] chalcedny, you might also just need to restart x by logging out and back in again [23:27] greezmunkey, thanks [23:27] windows has terminal? [23:27] xorwhy, found what relevant? [23:27] Slart, I think I might have found something about it, albiet on a different type of laptop. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/477226 [23:27] xorwhy: mm.. places feels like a weird hardcoded structure that probably has "TODO: Fix this.. just entered default directories manually, must improve later" as a comment in the source code.. =) [23:27] Piccolo48, are you on windows or Linux right now? [23:27] Dizkonnekted, if i do that i lose all my work [23:28] windows, because it wont connect on linux [23:28] Ken8521: The works on windows comment, it eliminates hardware failure. [23:28] i'll try to kill things that are using ram first.. see if that helps [23:28] EmilySC: it's not an uncommon problem.. we get someone asking about it almost every day in here.. different laptops though but the same problem [23:28] xorwhy, well i'm assuming if it didn't work in windows, he wouldn't be dense enough to come here for help [23:28] chalcedny, you can also use the keyboard to naviagte windows on screen to save your work [23:28] Piccolo48, then boot linux and run the command i gave you, and write down what it says about yoru wireless device [23:28] Slart: lol you know it, especially since the help file specifically states "You can customize the Applications and System menu" [23:28] Dizkonnekted, er how? [23:28] EmilySC: I think the problem is that there are a gazillion ways of doing this.. and a gazillion different sound solutions out there.. it's hard to keep up with them all [23:29] Ken8521: Density is primarily a function of windows use [23:29] so I've just tried to upgade my system to 10.04 and during reboot it got as far as trying to find the bootloader, and has now said "error: the symbol `grub_puts_' not found. the prompt says "grub rescue" typing ls brings up a list of hard drives, I think my linux is on (hd1,1) how do I boot it? [23:29] yipe, this is what I feared, having to go back and forth with terminal all day long. But hey, thanks for having even more patience with this than I do. Ok brb [23:29] xorwhy: =) [23:29] Slart, hehe *hus* [23:29] er [23:30] *hugs* [23:30] Slart, okie, heres hoping I can find one of those solutions ;) [23:30] Piccolo48, any way you can hook up cat6 cable?.. usually linux will recognize wired connections [23:30] no [23:30] chalcedny, ALT and TAB move focus to different apps and windows, within a specific window TAB moves the selection around, holding down the ALT key in a window and pressing the underlined letter in a menu activates that menu etc [23:30] Piccolo48, that makes it more entertaining [23:30] EmilySC: the forums is your best bet if you ask me.. that and lots of patience [23:30] Piccolo48, well.. first you need to figure out the chipset on the device, which that command will tell you, then we can go about trying to help you [23:31] Piccolo48, just write down everything it says about your wireless device [23:31] Alright, brb, thanks [23:31] Dizkonnekted, thank you very much :) [23:31] chalcedny, your welcome [23:31] Slart, thanks for your help either way ;D [23:31] Hi everyone. I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu. I got tired of Windows and completely scrapped it. However I may have done it prematurely because I am having huge issues with hardware and drivers. And I have no clue how to fix some of these things. Can anyone help me? [23:31] Is there an attribute to commands that lanch X windows to specify their height and width regardless of whether or not the program contains such a function? [23:31] i have a simple question, hopefully someone will be able to help me [23:31] EmilySC: you're welcome [23:32] ok. For unknown reasons to me I lost the volume icon and slider at the top pannel, right side. Right clicking and trying an "add to pannel" brings up a list where there is no Volume applet. I'm running 10.04. What is going on? [23:32] hi. how to check what network card I have installed [23:32] xorwhy: try devilspie [23:32] steven, wellt hat wasn't very smart... ask a question regarding specific hardware, rather than a general one [23:32] xorwhy: some have -x-orginate and -y-ordinates, do --help on them but they are normally X11 native apps, soch as xclock and xterm [23:32] xorwhy: it can do all kinds of things to windows.. it has to be able to do that [23:32] I've got windows 7 and ubuntu on my laptop - if I format the linux-related partitions into ntfs, will my laptop go back to using the windows bootloader? will there be anything linux-related left on my laptop? [23:32] KiiK: you can try lspci [23:32] what's the right place to discuss Vuze please? (I get command to update.... tells me I already have that version. Every time I open it.) [23:32] will someone KICK floodbots what's up? [23:32] tripelb: I think they disabled the updates in the version from the repos [23:32] rzilla, you'll probably also hav to clear the mbr, or you'll get boot errors [23:33] tripelb: or you installed it directly from their site? what version are you running? [23:33] Slart, is there an advantage to it over transmission? [23:33] I see. Is that easy to do? [23:34] Okay I have an Asus g50v gaming laptop and I just installed 10.04. I'm a noob. I can't get flash to work properly and I have sound but the headphone and mic jack will not work. Any ideas? [23:34] rzilla, it can be. [23:34] tripelb: well, vuze has more features.. plugings, lots of settings and so on.. it's also slower, uses more memory and so on.. you'll have to decide what features you want [23:34] steven, flash, like adobe flash for youtube? [23:34] ken8521: i'm looking around google, if I can't figure out how to do it I'll come back in a few mins and ask :) [23:35] rzilla, good luck.. i've removed grub before, but you need a boot disk to do it to my knowledge [23:35] i have 'typing break' enabled and appreciate it for the most part [23:35] For unknown reasons to me I lost the volume icon and slider at the top pannel, right side. Right clicking and trying an "add to pannel" brings up a list where there is no Volume applet. I'm running 10.04. What could be happening? [23:35] hi again everyone [23:35] thanks ken9521 [23:35] *ken8521 [23:35] onetinsoldier: are you still here [23:35] ok .. firefox killed and i still have NO mouse.. is there a way to restart the mouse drivers without restarting everything? and how to change tabs in gnome terminal with no mouse? [23:35] but sometimes it pops up at the worst possible times (during a demo, during some real time experiment, whatever) and I really need an override. does it exist? [23:35] NE_Home, i think it's in notification area === Method_man_ is now known as bihari [23:35] Slart: 32kb of solved, thank you! [23:35] I had adobe working. However its glitchy. It was working fine now I cant go to full screen and most sites with flash won't show video content. === tremmons is now known as iflema [23:35] sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ... [23:35] Fuck, grub is really screwed on my PC [23:36] youtube does work though just no fullscreen. [23:36] What's KEYSTROKES for Show Desktop (aka hide all windows) ?? [23:36] NE_Home, it's either notification area, or indicator applet, not sure which [23:36] i think im gonna love you ubuntu/linux guys :) so helpful [23:36] christopher: hello. yes [23:36] NE_Home: I don't think that's an applet.. it's probably a task try icon you're seeing [23:36] Ken8521: i will search that, thanks. I do have the notification area though [23:36] Can't use the fix I found online, reinstalling didn't work [23:36] NE_Home, yeah, it might be indicator applet.. i can't remember, i know it changed on 10.04 [23:36] how do I "take over" a byobu screen (in ssh) so that it resizes to MY terminal window? [23:36] mistii irc and open source were made for each other :) [23:37] I'm running out of options other than totally wiping the HD [23:37] tripelb, use Compiz config to change whatever you want to set ... [23:37] :D hehehehe, i love all of you. thanks for your help [23:37] xorwhy: you're welcome [23:37] this is gonna be my favourite chat. [23:37] steven, it's working fine in full screen here. [23:37] onetinsoldier: Thank you for all your help, I finally got it working, in the end I had to login at command line as root and write out the entire xorg.conf in nano. Lol dont want to ever do that again [23:38] sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ... [23:38] ? [23:38] plz help [23:38] christopher, wow congratulations! [23:38] christopher: lol, roger that. well, i'm glad you got it figured out! :-) [23:38] whats the command to list a specified environment variable? [23:38] yeah so am I [23:38] Hey guys, i have a few things. One is that i need to know the command for changing a window size using wmctrl and another is i need to ask why my Terminator doesn't have a transparent background when i have that selected. [23:38] anyway thanks guys [23:38] now im going to get some nice looking things for the desktop. [23:38] christopher, ouch, done that myself and its not fun [23:38] christopher: so your x-windows is configured like you want it now then? [23:38] yep [23:38] actually i think its a browser issue. It works in firefox but not chrome. I really wish I could find a way to get me headphone jack to work on my sound card. [23:38] xorwhy, env [23:38] 1024x768 [23:39] xorwhy, or echo $FOO [23:39] xorwhy: echo $somevariable should work [23:39] steven, i just tested full screen in chrome, and it's fine there also. [23:39] simar, I dont use comfiz. It's prolly too many resources right now. I wanted to know if anything is built in. [23:39] christopher: good. take care and enjoy :-) [23:39] Ken8521: Slart: wtf. I added an "indicator applet" (something that indicates there is need for attention) and there appeared the Volume thing. What has been going on the minds of Ubuntu devels as of late? I almost feel like going back to 8.04 :( [23:39] you too [23:39] hola [23:39] Anyone know the command to resize windows???????????????/ [23:40] simar, Alt-tab doesnt have "desktop" built into it. ------------------------------------- I wanted to know if anything is built in. [23:40] NE_Home: the indicator applet should be there by default.. perhaps you somehow removed it by accident? [23:40] tripelb, yes ofcourse its there in etc scripts but don't know exactly ... sorry [23:40] NE_Home, i'm not sure why they changed that... but there's been significant changes tot he notification area/panel applets since 8.04 [23:40] Is there a magic command to make 2 windows share the screen, horiz or vert [23:40] thanks simar, NP [23:40] Getting Windows Shares working in Ubuntu is hard. [23:40] sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo .. [23:40] help!!!! [23:40] i have to restart apparently :). thanks everybody [23:40] sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo .. [23:41] indivi: hola. espanol? spanish? [23:41] simar: echo means print.. so it prints 3.. but it doesn't print it just to screen.. it prints it to a file [23:41] OK last question now. HOW TO REMOVE VUZE? (also wine) [23:41] i switched from using kde/kdm back to gnome/gdm but gdm isn't starting at boot. I'm stuck at the flash screen and I have to start gdm manually. How can i get it to start automatically again? === christopher is now known as Davaros [23:42] Ok, there was a lot to right down, but I think the most common thing said was "Intel corp core processor" or something [23:42] simar: linux uses files for all kinds of things.. not just the regular documents and such.. there are files that you can write things to and things change.. hardware, settings and such === Davaros is now known as Davarosa === geoaxis_ is now known as geoaxis === Davarosa is now known as Davaross [23:42] tripelb, is vuze installed in wine? [23:42] Slart: no man I didn't. All I did was restore my old homedir back. Ken8521: I see it yea. There are more things apart from the notification area that are changed. If it weren't for the incorporated ath5k driver that this 10.04 has, I'd be with my 8.04 (manually compiling madwifi_hal driver) [23:42] xfce requires hal? Yuck. [23:42] I ddi see USB a couple times, however, said "USB controller enhanced host controller intel" [23:42] no, wine is just something else I am not using and is prolly in a new version anyway. [23:43] does anyone know much about sound cards. I have sound on mine but the headphone and microphone inputs will not work at all. I don't really know where to start to resolve this issues since i'm new to linux. [23:43] Piccolo48, you didn't see anything there about your wireless device? [23:43] tripelb, sudo aptitude remove vuze wine [23:43] simar: the /sys folder is one of these folders with lots of weird files connected to all kinds of hardware.. so that line writes a "3" to a file that probably controls the brightness of the screen.. it might be that you can write numbers from 1 to 10 or 1 to 100.. where 10 or 100 is max brightness and 1 is almost completely dark [23:43] Piccolo48, a processor, is not a wireless device. [23:43] @Ken8521 will the windows cmd command fdisk /mbr fix my problem? [23:43] Hi, I just upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10 (I'll probably do a 10.04 upgrade tomorrow) buuuuut, after some hassling I have my sound working, my video playing in correct colors and my desktop scrolling again... now I just want one thing. I have the Applications menu in my gnome bar and there's an unruly large icon next to it, and that wasn't there before. [23:43] Slart, ya i know that but how we do without using editor ... with these commands ... the meaing of this compound statement .. dats i wanna know [23:43] I mean, I guess I saw "signal process controller intel" [23:43] rzilla, it might.... i'm not gonna say ys or no. [23:43] steven; do you know how to open up a terminal? [23:43] HALLTECH thanks a lot [23:44] yes I do [23:44] simar: ok.. do you understand something like this echo "some text" > somefile.txt ? [23:44] Or something like CI express test internet controller [23:44] echo prints so how does it write??? [23:44] ya exactly [23:44] Ken8521, is it safe to do? [23:44] steven: okay, open a terminal and type in "alsamixer" and tell me what that does. [23:44] simar: it writes the text "some text" to a file called somefile.txt [23:44] alsamixer [23:44] tripelb, I'm guessing on the names but if those are the right names what should do it [23:44] ok [23:44] Piccolo48, you're asking for specific help, and giving very very generic "maybe" answers... i told you you needed to write down everything about your wireless device [23:45] steven: and it might be useful to highlight me, by typing the first few letters of my name so I can see you're replying to me. [23:45] simar: the > is called a pipe.. it sends the output from the previous command somewhere.. it could send it to a file.. or as input to another command === wolf is now known as Guest74919 [23:45] brings up an area to change sound settings [23:45] Slart: no, > isn't a pipe - a pipe is | [23:45] Slart, what is tee and echo "some text" | tee some file????? [23:45] simar: you can use > < or | [23:45] which is what sends it to another program [23:45] Slart, ok [23:45] simar: tee sends it both on its output and to the other file [23:45] simar: yes.. Random is right.. | is a pipe > would be called.. redirection, I think [23:45] steven, good. Hit tab, you'll see it jump to "recording" at the top. [23:45] it's like, well, a T style fitting in actual pipes [23:45] Random833: yes.. my bad [23:45] Piccolo48, one of the lines in that output, should ahv elooked osmething like this.. 6:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [23:46] Piccolo48, obviousoly you have a different device, but that's basically what it looks like [23:46] steven, you can navigate with the arrow keys. Just tell me what your microphone volume is set to. === thibow is now known as thb|Ou7 [23:46] yo yo yo [23:46] Wow devilspie is awesome [23:46] * thb|Ou7 buscar um filme ali! [23:46] simar: ok.. here comes the tricky stuff... say you want to write some text to a file that is owned by root... as most important files are [23:46] Hey guys. After restarting my computer i opened up my Terminator terminal and now I can't set the background to be transparent! =[ [23:46] Slart, i 'm getting please keep going [23:47] I think ethernet is the key word. I think I thought I wrote that down and skipped it, brb [23:47] Slart: add a sudo at front of that echo earlier ? [23:47] simar: you would probably think you could write something like sudo echo "some text" > somefile.txt .. but no.. that command only runs echo "some text" as root.. then the > somefile.txt is run as your regular user' [23:47] hey where can I get the so called Genie plug for compizz or ccsm [23:47] magik: press alt+f2, type: compiz --replace press enter [23:47] simar: so you'll end up with some kind of permission denied error [23:47] the microphone was all the way down. there isnt an option to turn up the headphones though [23:48] Are the headphones USB or jack, steven? [23:48] ActionParsnip: Ok i did that [23:48] bricky: try installing compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [23:48] jack [23:48] so we have to use sudo some file right?? [23:48] ActionParsnip: Yay it worked TYVM!!! [23:48] magik: add the command in your startup items [23:48] steven, hit tab again, and again, you'll be back at the regular sound settings "Playback" and check there. [23:48] ActionParsnip : Thanks ill try [23:49] simar: here's where the "tee" command comes in.. it simply redirects the output to a file but you can run it as root if you want to send something to a file as root [23:49] ActionParsnip: Yeah doing so now [23:49] i have a problem with chromium browser....could anyone help me? [23:49] ActionParsnip, you remember i have ubuntu 9.04, my mouse just *quit* working.. (i'm on the vista laptop, talking to you) what can i do to restart my mouse? [23:49] try chrome [23:50] fabio333: i can't hear radio stations [23:50] simar: so instead of sudo echo "some text" > somefile.txt we could write something like echo "some text" | sudo tee somefile.txt [23:50] To clarify, what is happening to my taskbar's Application menu is this: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/140/010610.png That very large down pointing arrow has made the lower taskbar really, really broad, and I want it to go away. In 9.04 that arrow wasn't there. Any suggestions? A link to a small iconset would be fun too, as long as it works :D [23:50] chalcedony: try adding: i8024.reset to your boot options in /etc/default/grub === thb|Ou7 is now known as thibow [23:51] simar: personally I've never really gotten used to using tee.. I usually use some other way around it.. but that's one of the reasons that it's there [23:51] LoganSkytower, clever placing of your irc window [23:51] hi folks, what is the name of gnome theme in 10.4? [23:51] Ken8521, I do my best ;) [23:51] lol [23:51] Anyone here any good with conky? [23:51] ovnicraft: ambience, I think [23:52] Slart, thx [23:52] magik, what is the question you have about conky? [23:52] ovnicraft: there's also Radiance.. a lighter version of the same theme [23:52] ActionParsnip, umm not sure how to do that, is there a way to restart the mouse so i can finish working on my project? [23:52] Halitech: Just wondering what the code is to show the ip address of your machine. [23:52] jacyś polacy ? [23:52] Ken8521, I take it you however have no idea how to solve my issue though? [23:52] !pl | kamil_ [23:52] kamil_: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [23:52] magik, give me a second [23:52] ok ok [23:53] Halitech: Ok, Thanks =] [23:53] LoganSkytower, i missed the question actualy, lemme scroll up [23:53] I have problem with my xubuntu [23:53] chalcedony: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [23:53] when I boot the computer, I am seeing the following types of messages...what does this mean and how do I fix it? "16.764599] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0" [23:53] kamil_: What's the problem? [23:53] chalcedony: you can run thet by pressing ALT+F2 (no mouse needed) [23:53] cpu usage is 100% [23:53] when I install or whatever [23:53] kamil_: Thats rather strange. How long has this been happening for? [23:54] LoganSkytower, what happens when you click the arrow? [23:54] magik, here is what I use ${color orange}NETWORK (${addr eth1}) ${hr 2}$color [23:54] It opens the Applications menu [23:54] kamil_: What proccessor do you have? [23:54] I have linux from 2 weeks [23:54] thanks Halitech [23:54] Slart, whats for | then [23:54] chalcedony: find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset' [23:54] Hello :), I'm having problems with the screen resolution, using radeon 9200. It works perfectly in 9.04 and 9.10 but now just give me 3 res. options. I don't know if I can get the xorg.conf from the others ubuntu versions. [23:54] * iWaldo prepares to uninstall ubuntu :( [23:54] simar: that sends the output from echo "3" to the tee command [23:54] i have ubuntu 10.04 studio lucid, debian and xubuntu (alredy) [23:55] my cpu is PIII [23:55] chalcedony: save the new file, and close gedit. Press ALT+F2 again and launch a terminal, then run: sudo update-grub; sudo reboot should be ok [23:55] Sorry, Ken8521, that was directed at you, when I click the arrow, it opens the "applications" menu. [23:55] simar: tee then takes that input and sends it to the file [23:55] Slart: could just use: sudo -i before ;) [23:55] it's old notebook [23:55] LoganSkytower, hmm. you could try arranging yoru panel a little better, that might make it go away.. it's their because there's to much in that panel i do believe [23:55] kamil_: if you run: top in a terminal, what is chewing the cpu? [23:56] 128mb ram, noemagic graphic [23:56] xorg [23:56] kamil_: i'd recommend LXDE, its a bit lighter [23:56] ActionParsnip: yes.. scroll up.. simar had some one-liner for setting brightness which involved tee.. it's hard to explain =) [23:56] i now [23:56] ActionParsnip, ok trying that (i won't lose my work on all the stuff i have open?) [23:56] Slart, then why don't we use echo 3 file to diretly send opuput from echo to file [23:57] Halitech: That code doesn't work for me. No ip displays =[ [23:57] Ken8521, I've made it so it automatically adjusts it's size when new stuff is added... so that can't be it. I can't make it smaller using the taskbar size... the Arrow is what's usually the standard Ubuntu Icon, but the Iconset I use has an arrow. And changing to the Ubuntu icons wouldn't be a problem, I don't care that much about the looks, but, it doesn't fix it, it remains overly large. [23:57] but on lxde i have this same problem [23:57] iWaldo: what is it? Tough luck ? [23:57] chalcedny: not until you reboot, so just don't reboot til its convenient [23:57] simar: in this canse.. no idea.. since tee isn't run with sudo we might as well just go with echo "3" > somefile [23:57] It just says (Noi address) [23:57] now i use xfce, but lxde i installed few minutes ago [23:57] LoganSkytower, i have no idea... [23:57] NE_Home: Grub is fried, and nothing I've tried gets my computer to boot [23:57] kamil_: you may need to form an xorg.conf file to get a nice performance. If you run: lspci | grep -i vga you can wesearch for the output to find guides [23:57] magik, you may need to change eth1 to eth0 or whatever number you use [23:57] ActionParsnip, that's what i wanted! thanks so much!!! [23:58] simar: but people do things the way they've always done them.. it doesn't always make sense.. or there might be something clever about it that I just don't know [23:58] chalcedny: np, the kernel options are only applied when the kernel is loaded [23:58] Ken8521, Yeah, you and me both :> [23:58] Ubuntu does not play nicely with this computer [23:58] Halitech: That only seems to be getting my internal ip. Is there a way to get my external? [23:58] LoganSkytower, unless you remove "window list" and add "Window selector" (which is more like a menu) [23:58] iWaldo: so i guess you have tried some tricks already, starting with reinstalling grub [23:58] magik: www.whatismyip.com www.whatsmyip.com [23:58] simar: but from what I understand.. it only makes sense to use tee when you write to a file that is owned by root.. so the regular > doesn't work [23:58] form your commend : " 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2230 [MagicGraph 256AV+] (rev 30) [23:58] NE_Home: I reinstalled Ubuntu, which I'm pretty sure should reinstall grub too [23:59] linxeh: No, I'm trying to add it to conky. Thus needing the conky code! [23:59] magik, you didn't mention you had a router :) I think you need a script that can output to a text file but I'm not totally sure how or what to write [23:59] kamil_: let me dig [23:59] Slart, ok i got some out of it ... well thanks a lot for your patience and help .... now i'm equiped enough to google it ... have a gd day [23:59] how can I see what my playstation controller is on my computer as far as /dev/ ..it's apparently NOT /dev/js0 , but it is detected in some programs. [23:59] magik: ah, sorry [23:59] Ken8521, Yeah, that does fix it. But I like my "applications, places, system" menu :< [23:59] simar: you're welcome [23:59] linxeh: Haha it's fine. [23:59] Slart, thanks [23:59] iWaldo: id think the same. But it's odd what you say. What happens when rebooting? [23:59] Ken8521, Blegh, screw it. I'll just use that. [23:59] I'm sorry, dont understand :( i'm from pl and my eng is not god [23:59] LoganSkytower, no.. all it does is take all of your windows(xchat, etc..) and make them selectable from a single button window, rather than having a button for each window, spread across the menu
