[00:00] dig ? [00:00] help! upgraded to 10.04 and now i see NO TITLEBARS on my desktop (w/ nvidia graphics). tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477151 with no avail. also tried adding the RGBXviauals line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:00] ubuntu is pretty much useless without titlebars [00:00] Slart, i have added you to my friends list so i will ask you something when i'm stuck ... i mean when you will be free .. [00:00] this is with the visual effects turned on [00:00] NE_Home: It will get to the grub menu, stop responding, then the computer will restart. It will do this once or twice, then grub will just give me an "out of range pointer" error [00:01] arooni-mobile, are they there when visual effects are off? [00:01] Halitech: I have seen it in other conky setups... [00:01] Ken8521, they are when visual effects are on [00:01] Ken8521, yeah, I know that. I just don't like it as much :> [00:01] oh i don't say, this xubuntu is 9.10 karmic [00:01] oh ok. [00:01] magik, so have I but never tried it [00:01] Ken8521, i mean i get NO titlebars with visual effects on; i get titlebars with visual effects off [00:01] iWaldo: im asuming its grub2. Have you tried to install grub 1 ? [00:01] arooni-mobile, which nvidia driver are you using? [00:01] Ken8521, Thanks for thinking along :) [00:01] Halitech: I'll try and get it from another conky script then. Cheers =] [00:01] Good luck everyone! [00:01] :0 [00:01] exit [00:01] NE_Home: Nope. How would I do that? [00:02] can some tell me what the name of the package is to have a mac-like bottom in gnome please? [00:02] Ok, the keyword being ethernet, Ethernet Controlloer, Realtek semiconductor co Ltd. PCI express fast thernet controller [00:02] * iWaldo has forgotten everything he used to know [00:02] Ken8521, "nvidia" [00:02] s3a: "buy a mac" [00:02] arooni-mobile, .. ok did you download it from Nvidia's site, or are you using the driver in the restricted driver mgr? [00:02] magik, there might be something here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865 [00:02] s3a: I'm guessing "dock" though [00:02] i don't want a mac, i just want that package, i fogot what's it's called [00:02] ActionParsnip, it's the little things.. how do i save in gedit with no mouse? (i tried it in vim and couldn't get it to escape, to let me :ws .. so tried what you said, i never use gedit much.) [00:02] iWaldo: i think it's a package called grub legacy. let me see [00:03] s3a, probably either cairo-dock, or awn [00:03] s3a: awn or cairo-dock === yaxomoxay is now known as eaccenti [00:03] Ken8521, i think from one poing i downloaded it from restricted driver manager; but didnt do that to upgrade to ubuntu 10.04 [00:03] hello [00:03] kamil_: there is a sample xorg.conf you can use here: http://pastebin.com/cHd1SmrH [00:03] ActionParsnip: thanks those settings are awesome [00:03] s3a, your looking for a dock, open synaptic and do a search for dock or google ubuntu dock [00:03] s3a: they are both easy to configure (comes with a small gui-configure-dialog thing) [00:03] kamil_: you can use: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access [00:03] s3a, you might also try youtube for some goof tutorials ;) [00:03] heh ctrl - s .. [00:03] *good [00:04] chalcedny: ALT+F then use cursor [00:04] arooni-mobile, so did you downlaod a driver from nvidia, or did you use the restricted driver manager? that last sentence made no sense [00:04] what's the main difference between bugsquad and ubuntu testing? [00:04] bricky: glad you got the gold [00:04] !ot | eaccenti [00:04] eaccenti: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:04] iWaldo: ok, give this command: dpkg -l grub* [00:04] Ken8521, before i upgraded ubuntu to 10.04 from 9.10; i used restricted driver manager [00:04] OR, network controller: Boradcom Corp, BCM 4312 [00:04] iWaldo: how familiar are you with linux ? [00:05] ok :) [00:05] !broadcom | Piccolo48 [00:05] Piccolo48: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:05] Piccolo48, 4312.. that's your wireless device [00:05] NE_Not terribly so, but not super new [00:06] *NE_Home [00:06] I read on other forums, because people with strongest cpu like core 2 duo has this same problem. why xorg takes so many cpu ? [00:06] I did sudo apt-get remove vuze and it's still there. (it liked mmy password, I said y to yes and it will free up space. It finished. I open the torren and there are leftover parts of vuze that start --- theus transmission does not start. [00:06] iWaldo: Have you tried booting with super grub2 disk? [00:06] Piccolo48, that should be reasonably easy to get working... [00:06] Jordan_U: Nope [00:06] kamil_: your GPU isn't being used [00:06] oh... [00:06] Its very easy in windows, but for some reason it doesnt work in linux....so now what? [00:07] Linux doesnt even detect it [00:07] anyone usin s2disk for hibernation? [00:07] Piccolo48: the guide i gave will let you install the driver for the broadcom [00:07] ah [00:07] ok so when I open a xorg.conf what I must to do ? [00:07] Piccolo48, follow the link ActionParsnip gave you, it has instructions for doing it w/o internet access [00:07] kamil_, are you using an ATi radeon card? [00:07] ActionParsnip: send that url again plz? [00:07] Piccolo48: its easier to use a wired connection and you will be offered a driver [00:07] arimmer: which? [00:08] diz... no noemagic magicgraph [00:08] ActionParsnip: the broadcom driver install [00:08] i dont now what is it :D [00:08] Can someone help me up[date my alsamixer? [00:08] !broadcom | arimmer [00:08] arimmer: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:08] Halitech: I could just put my IP in manually. [00:08] ActionParsnip, i think i messed up. you told me to alt f-2 first. i was already in a terminal so .. i didnt do that step. alt-f2 just now, opened a Run Application window. is it useful? i still don't have a cursor. eek? [00:08] NE_Home: tried dpkg, grub-legacy is listed [00:08] Hi all. Could someone recommend a good ubuntu-supported internal WiFi card for my desktop tower (PCI stuff, etc) [00:09] chalcedny: if you have a terminal you can launch commands from there directly, alt+f2 isn't needed ;) [00:09] magik, that would work but if by chance it changes... [00:09] !hcl | Stormx2 [00:09] Stormx2: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [00:09] Halitech: My ip hasn't changed for about 3 years now. And i can always look it up again. [00:09] ActionParsnip, yes, that's what i thought.. so i didn't do alt f2 then. but now i have a gedit and run applications.. what next, please? [00:10] magik, okay [00:10] iWaldo: i was mistaken there. That looks like documentation. the status of "grub" should be 'un' while the status of grub-pc is 'ii'. Correct? [00:11] chalcedny: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [00:11] Piccolo48, did you install from a CD? [00:11] NE_Home: Correct [00:11] ActionParsnip, yes i did that. [00:11] iWaldo: you are on another machine ? [00:12] Ah, sorry, that was a lot to write down. Anyway, I used like WBUI or something [00:12] Or however you install it from windows [00:12] chalcedny: make the line be: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset" save the new file and reboot, should be ok [00:12] ugh... [00:12] iWaldo: Super grub2 disk will almost certainly let you boot. And it's generally easier to fix grub from a booted system as well. [00:12] ekhmm... i can't open a xorg.conf [00:12] Piccolo48, did you use that from a CD? [00:12] NE_Home: I'm on my macbook, but running a live CD on the broken machine [00:12] sudo Xorg -configure give's me this error http://pastebin.com/Uu4kqfhC . Is there a method to get the xorg.conf from ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 via livecd? [00:13] help! upgraded to 10.04 and now i see NO TITLEBARS on my desktop (w/ nvidia graphics). tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1477151 with no avail. also tried adding the RGBXviauals line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. neither worked. (this happens only when visual effects are turned on) [00:13] Mmm, no. I think I just ran it and installed it from windows without writing it on a CD. I think I had trouble writing it on the CD and thus did that instead [00:13] Jordan_U: Checked it out, gonna try it as my next thing [00:13] Ah, hey - problem where on plugging/unplugging while the netbook is running (10.04 atm) will cause it to suspend, then re-suspend on wakeup, etc. Not sure what to make of this ~ Google hasn't helped. [00:13] i don't want to reboot... arrgh! [00:13] Piccolo48, you may be in for all sorts of fun trying to do this then, you need a CD to do that. [00:14] magik, this works, just did it on mine http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/archives-tips-tricks-tweaks/334474-howto-have-conky-displaying-your-internet-ip.html [00:14] Hi! Can anyone help me, I have this question about partition lock... [00:14] I dont think so. I'll need a CD to downlaod the files needed but I wont need to downalod all of linux [00:14] iWaldo: i see. So you mount your ubuntu install partition with the live-cd. We will need to run some commands to remove grub-pc and install grub [00:14] octavio: Using an Xorg.conf from Xorg -configure is basically the same as using none at all, since Xorg now does auto detection at runtime. 9.10 and up (possibly 9.04 also) use no xorg.conf by default, and there's only been a very minimal one for longer than that. [00:14] Well, we'll see [00:15] Halitech: I'll do it tommorow. Going to bed in a min. Thanks a lot though =] [00:15] Piccolo48, ...ok. :) [00:15] My ubuntu 10.4 desktop is really sexy now! [00:15] NE_Home: Ubuntu partition is mounted [00:15] cyborgsmurf: Ask your actual question, if anyone can help they will. [00:15] irc.redhispana.org [00:15] irc.redhispana.org [00:15] irc.redhispana.org [00:15] Well, thanks ahead of time. This will probably take a few hours.... [00:15] magik, no problem, I wanted the same thing but gave up awhile ago [00:15] lokaa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:15] loka [00:15] ActionParsnip left? [00:16] iWaldo: yea. you better try booting with that supergrub thing first. Or you want to try this grub2 uninstall and grub install ? [00:16] lokaa is that you? [00:16] loka123? [00:16] Yesterday i thought I was superhuman so its good to need help like a weenie [00:16] NE_Home: I'll try the super grub disk first [00:16] Piccolo48, probably longer than that.. good luck.. [00:16] Piccolo48, you're doing a hard thing.. take credit :) [00:16] -magik- good that 10.04 works for some... I had to delete mine and go back to 9.10 (USB issues... long story) [00:17] iWaldo: ok. I'd blame your BIOS in that machine where you have problems though [00:17] i haven't xorg.conf [00:17] okay. There are keys in gparted and I can't resize nor unmount. How do I resize them? [00:17] NE_Home: I'd thought about the BIOS, but it loads the live CD fine. Not 100% sure if that means anything, though [00:18] I am using ubuntu 9.10 with home folder encryption and everything is working fine. I am just wondering why the ecryptfs kernel module doesn't seem to be loaded? 'modinfo ecryptfs' returns 'ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ecryptfs'. How can this work without the kernel module? [00:18] Jordan_U so if i dont find the xorg.conf in 9.10 or 9.04, it's possible that I find it? [00:18] meh, l think youre right I'll have to install ubuntu all over again in order to access bcmwl kernel source package [00:18] i mean because in these versions the resolutions works perfectly [00:18] my torrents used to work fine. Now I keep getting permission denied on where I aim to put them [00:18] octavio: I don't understand your question. [00:19] Piccolo48, no [00:19] Anyone wanna see my sexy desktop? [00:19] iWaldo: id think more a confusion of how and where the bios knows where the hard disk boot sectors are, and how and where thus passes control to a bootloader, grub in our case [00:19] iWaldo: another thing, where did you install grub ? [00:19] Piccolo48, you won't have to install all over again, ou need to dwnload and burn a live CD, and then you *should* be able to follow those directions on your wubi instal [00:19] iWaldo: mbr ? [00:19] NE_Home: Maybe I should try resetting the BIOS, then? [00:19] The resolutions works on 9.04 [00:19] Ah, makes sense. [00:19] lol [00:19] who can tell me why i don'y have xorg.conf in my xubuntu and why cpu usage is that high (about 100%) [00:19] Just install linux on the CD and it should read it anyway [00:19] it possible to get them form livecd? [00:19] NE_Home: Honestly, wherever the Ubuntu CD installs it by default [00:20] iWaldo: no, don't go so far yet. This bios thing is still a speculation :) [00:20] LOL!!!!111 [00:20] http://i50.tinypic.com/2vvnl9l.jp =] My sexy new ubuntu 10.4 desktop with conky. The conky script is pretty much made by me =] [00:20] what does the keys stand for in Ubuntu - gparted? [00:20] Do I have to put WBUI (or whatever the windows version is) specifically, or will the normal i386 install file thing work as well? [00:21] cyborgsmurf: the partition is locked [00:21] anybody will help me ? [00:21] Piccolo48, download a Live CD from ubuntu.com(for whichever version you installed, 32 or 64bit).. burn the ISO to a cd then use it, to install the kernel source, etc.. following the directions at that lin.. it will rsolve any dependency errors you'll run into [00:21] cyborgsmurf: you are trying to resize a mounted partition ? [00:21] yes [00:21] Piccolo48, ive never used wubi, but i'm pretty sure the regular i386 cd will work fine, assuming you are using 32bit wubi [00:21] my torrents used to work fine. Now I keep getting permission denied on where I aim to put them. I told it "desktop" but the permission denied says media. [00:21] how can I install gtk2.0 >=2.8 ? [00:22] kamil_: to what i know, ubuntu doesn't use x.org for its X configuration like other normal linuxes do [00:22] ok cool [00:22] xorg.conf that was [00:22] Piccolo48, use the regular livecd that would work to install Ubuntu (in any form) on your bomputer. The wubi will be on that CD. [00:22] is it possible to resize the partition Im running on? [00:23] * iWaldo downloads the super grub CD [00:23] cyborgsmurf: no, not unless you load into livecd first [00:23] NE_Home: Upstream Xorg has lost its dependence on an xorg.conf, though one will still be used if provided. Almost all current linux distros do not ship an xorg.conf by default. [00:23] what is a liveCD (Im a former win-user) [00:23] cyborgsmurf, then you wont be running on that partition. (so the answer is clearly, no.) === trevor is now known as Yarrgh [00:23] does anyone know if the ecryptfs kernel module has to be loaded on boot for the encrypted home directory to work? [00:24] yeah its pretty clear now [00:24] ls [00:24] cyborgsmurf, It's ubuntu that you can run from a CD. iT's wonderful. [00:24] cyborgsmurf: you will have to unmount it first. But that's something beyond my ability to explain. You can do it easy if you boot with the live-cd and resize the partition. The idea is that when resized, the partition should NOT be in use [00:24] cyborgsmurf, you can use it [00:25] Jordan_U: yea I heared that too. But does this mean that xorg detects most of its needed parameters automatically ? [00:25] whats good about mounting linux from a live CD... isnt that going to make Ubuntu slower? [00:25] NE_Home: Yes. [00:25] is pm-utils the default hibernation mechanism for ubuntu? [00:25] A little off-topic: I remember one time viewing the source for different Java files [ie LinkedList.java]. Which packages would I need installed (I have JDK/JRE) and where would I find these? [00:26] cyborgsmurf: slower for using it all the time yes. But when it comes to fixing stuff and troubleshooting, it's your best friend that live cd [00:26] anyone manage to get wine 1.2 to work with source-engine games in 64-bit lucid? I THINK it's pulse screwing up. but i don't see an option too change the default soundcore under syste,>Preferences>Sound anymore.. why the hell was that re/moved? [00:26] cyborgsmurf, you can use it to try ubuntu without installing. Anything you want to save can go on a flashdrive. And since it can read your windows drive, you can use it to save files from a disk which has windows failed. One of the wpnders pof ubuntu is that --unlike windoes-- you can take an ubuntu disk out of one machine, put it in another machine and it will boot!! Wow, no DRM to machine. [00:26] gartral, if it's not the official version in the repos, you should head to #winehq [00:26] cyborgsmurf: You can't resize a partition that you are booted from (you can, but it's not worth the effort). So by booting from CD you allow yourself to resize your Ubuntu partition. [00:26] Daekdroom: #winehq is ignoring me [00:26] the live CD is that the same CD as the one which I burned my ISO into? [00:27] cyborgsmurf: Yes. [00:27] cyborgsmurf, yes [00:27] tripelb: wanna see my 8GB flash drive with debian in it installed as if on a disk? the swapfile goes to a ramdisk :D [00:27] http://prismate.deviantart.com/#/d2qtzbw [00:27] NE_Home: Swap file goes to a ramdisk? [00:28] swap partiotion. my bad [00:28] cyborgsmurf, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD good words here for you. [00:28] NE_Home: that's a Bad Thing! there's no need to double up your ram usage like that [00:28] partition [00:28] thanks. So after I've resized my partition, which I want to use, can I go back using Ubuntu with more space? [00:28] NE_Home, ramdisk dies when power is off. That's what I was talking about AVOIDING === BoomSie_ is now known as BoomSie [00:29] gartral: well it was mostly a test and proof of concept. And also because I needed a tool for recovery utilities [00:29] NE_Home, Jordan_U: The Super Grub CD boots Windows fine. Whatever that means. [00:29] cyborgsmurf, that's a question to be determined by experience and not me. [00:29] anyone manage to get wine 1.2 to work with source-engine games in 64-bit lucid? I THINK it's pulse screwing up. but i don't see an option too change the default soundcore under syste,>Preferences>Sound anymore.. why the hell was that re/moved? [00:29] tripelb: yea. But I was using the ramdisk as a swap area :) [00:30] iWaldo: and does it boot ubuntu ? [00:30] Don't know how (or if) that pertains to the status of the BIOS and/or the grub install on the mahcine [00:30] NE_Home: Trying now [00:30] NE_Home, I thought that's what the livecd did. Gee, I assumed. How does the liveCD do it then? [00:30] isnt that the purpose of resizing... to be able to use more space? [00:30] my torrents used to work fine. Now I keep getting permission denied on where I aim to put them. I told it "desktop" but the permission denied says media. [00:31] how do i change the default soundcore in ubuntu? Pulseaudio is broken through and through! [00:31] gartral: which os version? [00:31] Transmission got all fouled up somehow. How can I get it back to defaults?? [00:31] tripelb: that's how it does it in a way. The live cd has a compressed filesystem in it and mounted accordingly, that's why it is SLOW. [00:31] when using brasero to copy a data cd to an image file, I'm getting the error: "please install the following manually and try again", but it doesn't list anything, anymore [00:31] Loshki: 10.04 64bit [00:31] I just upgraded to 10.04 and I've lost scroll wheel capability on my Wacom tablet. Is there a config tool to fix this? [00:31] I've already installed cdrdao and cue2toc like it asked [00:32] NE_Home: It seems to boot Ubuntu fine, as well [00:32] Loshki: the option used to be in System>Preferences>Sound.. but all that has now are broken options for a broken PA [00:32] I always have to unlock my other partitions which gets frustrated since I know I can just copy it to Ubuntu part, however, I cant do it because a lack of HDDspace [00:32] ne1 here using a PCI eSata card with Ubuntu? [00:33] gartral: Have you tried asking about your problem in #pulseaudio (preferably without trolling about pulseaudio being "broken")? [00:33] Yep, boots Ubuntu fine [00:33] NE_Home, you said that you have a version of Ubuntu LiveCD that will do swap on a RAMdisk. I thought it did. then you replied -NE_Home> tripelb: that's how it does it in a way. The live cd has a compressed filesystem in it and mounted accordingly, that's why it is SLOW.- Please explain further... [00:33] tripelb: some parts of the live cd filesystem are on a ramdisk. Like the /home/ubuntu (the live system user) and maybe other parts of which I can't be sure which. [00:33] Hi, in the server edition (9.10 I think, but let's say generally) is it possible that all ports on the server is filtered by default? [00:33] Man, trying to install 10.4 on a Thinkpad A20P. I tried vga=771 in the boot options, but I still get a garbled screen. Is there a text option, or another vga= value I could try? [00:34] I have an untouched installation I'm trying to get online, now however with all ports filtered [00:34] iWaldo: Can you try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical grub-pc" from within Ubuntu? [00:34] gartral: I had good luck fixing 10.04 sound by following the 'nosound' link in this article: http://www.unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/937-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-1004-lts-lucid-lynx (see 'nosound' in the 2nd paragraph). No idea if it will work with 64 bit though... [00:34] miskinis: why not use the alternate install - al ltext [00:34] OK and so what is the difference in the disk/image/ on the flashdrive that you mentioned that has swap-on-a-ramdrive [00:34] Jordan_U: for my purposes, pulse is broken completly, i cannot pipe sound from source-engine games through pulse, it's seemingly impossible. i'm not trolling.. im just saying that for what i need, pulseaudio is completly useless [00:35] im using ubuntu 10.04, i dl'd frets on fire from the repos, and i have a bunch of songs for it dl'd from a few sites, whree do i need 2 put them? [00:35] Tranmission doesnt understand the target locaation. I must be doing something wrong. I'd so appreciate some help. [00:35] tripelb: yes that's correct. That's actually a waste of ram memory from the live cd but then again, trying a complete system without installing anything, does have a cost somewhere. This cost is ram memory [00:35] Loshki: I want sound! that's my problem right now, pulse wont pipe sound from source-engine games [00:35] So I add exactly "-al ltext" within the params, and before the -- at the end??? [00:35] i know in windows theres a data folder in the fof folder that the songs go into, but i cant seem to locate it [00:35] gartral: you can remove pulseaudio I believe. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. I've never tried this on 10.04 though... [00:36] Jordan_U: Done, takes me to grub configuration menu [00:36] Hi guys, can anyone tell me where can I download makehuman 0.9.1 for linux? (karmic) [00:36] just got ubuntu desktop: I was wondering how to enable the feature where when you drag a window to the left it takes up the left half of your screen and when you drag one to the right it takes up the right. [00:36] OK NE_Home what's better about your debian flashdrive. Or is it that it is done in debian that is special? [00:36] gartral: I didn't mean to say that you were trolling, it's just that often people join #pulseaudio and rant about it being broken, while still expecting to be helped. I was just trying to head that off before it started just in case :) [00:36] Jordan_U, it will happen anyway.. :) [00:37] gothran: somewhere here perhaps: http://sites.google.com/site/makehumandocs/download [00:37] I am wanting to rant about my Transmission being broken except that is will prolley end up that it is me who has set it up wrong or maybe not. [00:37] iWaldo: Is it asking which drive to install grub to? [00:37] does anyone know if the songs are still .ogg files for frets on fire in this version? [00:37] Help my transmission wont accept the target location correctly. I'd guess it makes some assumption. Did I ask for help yet? [00:38] I'll come back. AND [00:38] Jordan_U: ahh.. i see.. well i'm not a troll (at least, i TRY not to be a troll) but for my purposes, pulse is a giant, moulding turd that's blocking me from playing me games. and i desperatly need to work around it.. and it would seem ubuntu has removed all hope of an easy route. >.< [00:38] tripleb: haven't used tmission. But I suspect your config file is something like .transmission and is a hidden file in your /home. Enable view hidden and search. Delete and you can reconfig [00:38] Jordan_U: "A new version of configuration file /etc/default/grub is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified. What would you like to do about it?" [00:38] Loshki: yeah but they redirect me here http://rpmlinux.org/readme-first [00:39] NE_Home, yes I'd like to see what I can about your 8G debian but I dont have the room for it till I get a new HD. [00:39] I have two screens, and when i drag to the edge of one, instead of splitting and displaying on both it jumps to a different screen, how can i make it split? [00:39] tripelb: no. It's that it is not a live cd, it's a complete installation. All actions are persistant, i can install and uninstall and have documents and all. It bing debian has nothing to do with it. Ubuntu can be done that way too. The magic tool is "debootstrap" [00:39] Then options to install the standard version, compare it to the installed version, and things of that sort [00:39] tripelb: oh. I'd recomend you see to build your own :) [00:39] Loshki: those instructions wont work, the sound menu they use is older, and the newer one lacks the options that one gives entirly [00:39] why does the sound in some games disappear and then eventually disappears? [00:39] gothran: http://makehuman.googlecode.com/files/makehuman-alpha_5_i386.deb starts a download when I try it... [00:39] arimmer thanks and 've saved it in a file. I'll go do it. [00:40] gartral: Try seeing if #pulseaudio can get pulse to do the right thing for your setup, and just avoid voicing your opinion :) [00:40] tripelb: basically, you treat the flash drive as if it were a hard disk. And you install the system there [00:40] mistyped [00:40] just got ubuntu desktop: I was wondering how to enable the feature where when you drag a window to the left it takes up the left half of your screen and when you drag one to the right it takes up the right [00:41] gartral: I skipped the alsa gui part which didn't apply to my version, and did the rest, and it still worked. YMMV of course... [00:41] NE_Home, I'd like to build an ubuntu liveCD that has xchat and the non-free on it. and chrome. I'll have to learn how to do that though. All suggestions appreciated. [00:41] Jordan_U: it's a known bug in wine 1.2 that pulse has broken soure-game sound. this is confirmed on pulse forums, ubuntu forums, and winehq. i know for a fact the fix is the removal/bypassing of pulse [00:41] iWaldo: If you haven't made any important changes to /etc/default/grub that you want to keep then choose to use the maintainer's version. [00:41] tripelb: be warned that this thing will wear your flash drive off very fast. But I can justify the costs of learning :p [00:41] aaron you aer so write on. [00:41] I mean why does sound in games sometimes sound crappy then completely disappears? [00:41] aaron you aer so right on. I want that too. [00:41] hello all [00:41] Loshki: YMMV? i don't understan the acronym [00:41] NE_Home, I just want to build a custom install or live CD [00:41] Jordan_U: Would using the maintainer's version nuke my list of OSes or anything like that? [00:41] Loshki: this is the alpha, the old one is 0.9.1 but is packed for mandriva and it last with .rpm... what I have to do with it? [00:41] gartral: your mileage may vary [00:42] gartral: Have you tried pasuspender? [00:42] gartral: an Americanism. Your mileage may vary i.e. it may not work for you... [00:42] iWaldo: No. [00:42] i am wondering 1]can i install low-latency kernal without reinstalling karmic? [00:42] tripelb: let me find some refference urls for you [00:42] Loshki: ahh, i get the reference now, I'm just not good with acronymisms [00:42] :P [00:42] also wud i have better gaming experience? [00:42] can some one tell me why i can not save my w/L Wpa key? [00:43] Jordan_U: Excellent [00:43] Jordan_U: Done. Now I assume I reboot? [00:43] iWaldo: Yes. [00:43] tripelb: you might to check this out http://geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [00:44] loshki: makehuman-0.9.1-2mapi2008.1.i586.rpm, I have downloaded it but I do not know how to extrack it [00:44] arimmer: I tried adding "-al ltext", but I still got a garbled screen on the thinkpad a20p. [00:44] hey anybody know how to auto start with compiz enabled [00:44] Jordan_U: no, but it looks like it may work, though i try running it and it wants options.. pasuspender -s localhost returns me to the -h output >.< [00:45] miskinis: STRONGLY suggest you drop the desktop install iso, download the alternate and try that [00:45] tripelb: does your liveCD have to be ubuntu ? [00:45] someone knows a pack for makehuman for a generic distro? [00:45] nvm i got it [00:45] huh, thats the last place i thought id find them in media/sd1 [00:45] thanks anyhow guys [00:45] why my W/L WPA always go back to the one before [00:45] gartral: pasuspender wine /path/to/exe [00:45] gothran: you can't easily install an rpm file on ubuntu. You need the .deb version... [00:45] Jordan_U: Doesn't look like it worked [00:46] Anyway, still looking for some way to get a text installer or something other than vga=771 to install 10 on a thinkpad a20p :( [00:46] tripelb: for ubuntu, a good start is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [00:46] i am wondering 1]can i install low-latency kernal without reinstalling karmic? [00:46] also wud i have better gaming experience? [00:46] hello [00:46] miskinis: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [00:46] Is there any way to enable a "mouse smoothing"? [00:46] gartral: pasuspender suspends untill the given command exits. [00:46] vic20gmr, you mean a preemptive kernel? [00:46] My mouse movement is slightly jerky, and as a result my show window contents while dragging is jerky. [00:46] some things to do with keyring? [00:46] Loshki: how I do it by the command line? [00:46] @xorwhy: System-?>Preferencies->Mouse [00:47] I haven't found the .terminal anywhere. [00:47] waga: That doesn't appear to contain any mouse smoothing function. [00:47] arimmer: I burned a CD with 10, are you suggesting I do not use it? [00:47] just got ubuntu desktop: I was wondering how to enable the feature where when you drag a window to the left it takes up the left half of your screen and when you drag one to the right it takes up the right...or what its called so i can google atleast [00:47] acicula honestly im not sure, but is there *any* other kernal i cud use to possibly improve gaming? [00:47] Jordan_U: When I rebooted, it got as far as the menu, then froze. Second time, it let me select an OS, then just went back to the grub menu and froze when I picked one. Third time, it just gave me a screen full of zeros [00:47] gothran: download http://makehuman.googlecode.com/files/makehuman-alpha_5_i386.deb and then do sudo gdebi makehuman-alpha_5_i386.deb [00:47] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/RRebP4rw <-- REALLY? [00:47] acicula, honestly im not sure, but is there *any* other kernal i cud use to possibly improve gaming? [00:48] I have windows7,XP and Ubuntu with grub... I used to be able to boot in windows but after re-installing Ubuntu 10.04 and back to 9.10, I cant run windows from grub anymore... is windows lost forever? [00:48] Now it just goes to the grub screen and freezes [00:48] vic20gmr: Heh, a Windows kernel so you don't have the abstraction layer? :-) [00:48] how do i clear WPA key i enter before? [00:48] aaron, this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o92RoCV8RU [00:48] miskinis: precisely. pretty sure you downloaded the desktop iso which is GUI by default. the alternate iso is a TEXT BASED installer. Quote: This installation CD is suited for computers unable to run the graphical desktop based installation, either because their computer does not meet the minimum requirements for the live cd or because their computer requires configuration after the... [00:48] ...installation is complete in order to use the desktop. [00:48] vic20gmr: if ubuntu still has support for a realtime kernal [00:48] Loshki: yes, that is easy, but I would try to install the 0.9.1 version, not the alpha (its lacks of options)... [00:48] gartral: The man page is more clear than the --help message [00:48] tripelb: another thing of interest to you is this as well: http://live.debian.net/ [00:49] loshki: makehuman-0.9.1-2mapi2008.1.i586.rpm, I have downloaded it but I do not know how to extrack it [00:49] This time it let me select an OS before it froze [00:49] aaron http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4674/ [00:49] So, no change [00:49] thanks NE_Home [00:49] MrPancake, idk if i have an abstr layer [00:49] vic20gmr, probably not [00:49] Jordan_U: i read that too, still dont understand it, pasuspender -s localhost SHOULD have killed PA for a bit... but.. [00:49] arimmer: OK, many thanks, and I apologize for my ignorance. Although I've used ubuntu 8 and 9, I was a redhat user, and a brief debian user only. [00:49] what is the default image viewer called? [00:50] gartral, if.... then wut? [00:50] tripelb: and the ulimate goal could be this: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ (the livecd link at the end, but all there is plain awesome) [00:50] Or maybe someones know there download a makehuman 0.9.1 for a generic distro? a gz or a bz2? [00:50] ultimate* [00:50] Or maybe someones know there can I download a makehuman 0.9.1 for a generic distro? a gz or a bz2? [00:50] miskinis: not to worry. As many times as I've been bailed out of brain dead system of my own creation, this is the least i can to [00:50] I really wish I could make my mouse drag smoother, rather than this raw pixel-jumping cursor-purism the gnome devs were after. [00:50] hi guy [00:50] vic20gmr: then your SoL.. try another distro like Sabayon? [00:50] acicula, prob not - to wut do u refer? [00:51] if theres any gain to rebuilding the kernel for games [00:51] gartral, i dont know if i have abstraction layer, how do i determine this [00:51] tripelb: the debian live link is in my opinion a compromise between trimming down ubuntu to a custom live cd, and that other one, linuxfromscratch which starts it all from source code. [00:51] heya [00:52] what is the default image viewer called? [00:52] iWaldo: Does the "Detect any GRUB2 installation" Option of super grub2 disk bring you to the same frozen screen? [00:52] having problems accessing an audio CD - error is Could not open location 'cdda://sr0/', Failed to execute child process "sound-juicer" (No such file or directory) [00:52] Wha? [00:52] brb [00:52] Loshki: http://sites.google.com/site/makehumandocs/download all dowm the page [00:53] Rhythmbox works fine though. [00:53] Jordan_U: Where is that option in the disk menu? [00:53] hello [00:54] anybody here use gmailfs ? Can it work on 10.04 ? [00:54] Shinydan: install sound-juicer === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:54] iWaldo: It's in the very first menu, if you're using super grub2 disk rather than super grub disk based on grub legacy. [00:54] NE_Home, I'm not so advanced as that. what's a live-link? --- I need to know the location of my config file for transmission (the bit torrent client) [00:54] gothran: It's unclear to me that an 0.9.1 debian version exists... [00:54] erufu, I'm sure it works with ubuntu 10.04 if it's in the repos. [00:55] My windows 7 installation is not working [00:55] erufu, Did you check the repos? [00:55] Jordan_U: I'm using the grub legacy based version :| [00:55] Chuck_Schuldiner: more info [00:55] NE_Home, I'm trying to have a computer working. One, for a start, lol [00:55] the repos say deprecated package [00:55] sizzlefire: do you have a nvidia graphics card, or something else? [00:56] sizzlefire: and which version of Ubuntu are you using? [00:56] erufu: http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem.html [00:56] can anyone give me a command to clear up Keyring password? === vic20gmr is now known as vic20gmr_[lucid] [00:56] thx i want to ovoid that but ^^ [00:56] Jordan_U: does pasuspend work for you? [00:56] Please help me learn how to search in terminal for all files that have the term transmission anywhere in the char string of the name. Please help. I dont know how to use the command, and wildcards properly and the GUI fails me. [00:56] tripelb: hehe ok. Well, you can issue: cd ; mv .transmission .transmission.old [00:57] how do i determine if i have abstraction layer? [00:57] tripelb: when opening a terminal at your home dir [00:57] funkyHat: I have a intigrated ATI PoA graphics card and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 [00:57] ne_home see above line my question. [00:57] gartral: No, it doesn't seem to :( [00:57] Loshki: yeah, I have problems to find it, but I downloaded a version from http://rpmlinux.org/readme-first end of the page in repository, a pack for mandriva .rpm [00:57] Jordan_U: now you see my problem :P [00:57] tripelb, find transmission [00:57] sizzlefire: and you're currently seeing the same image on each screen, or just dragging from one screen to the other isn't working? [00:58] edbian no such file or directory (I have the program installed, per standard ubuntu) [00:58] the lib python-libgmail is available for ubuntu 10.04 ? [00:58] if anyone wants to know.. ActioniiParsnip's fix worked PERFECTLY - AFTER .. i removed the cat hairs from my optical mouse's 'eye'! [00:58] dudes how can i see the nick list on the right side ? on xchat [00:58] ? [00:59] * iWaldo downloads the grub2 version [00:59] tripelb, locate transmission [00:59] tripelb, Do you have that installed? [00:59] tranmission is not in the hidden files on / --> please believe me. I did ls .* [00:59] that's done it. Need coffee, that was too obvious. 8) [00:59] yes it is installed [00:59] sirlinux, put your mouse's pointer in that edge and drag it toward the center .. it's there! [00:59] tripelb: dpkg -l transmission* [00:59] I've been using it. But the config file got stupid and I cant anymoer [00:59] NE_Home, what does dpkg do? [00:59] sirlinux, click view - place a check in userlist [01:00] tripelb, sudo find / -name transmission [01:00] Dudes i have in the left side down "1484 Users" if i click shows me the users ... [01:00] tripelb, Might take a bit to finish. [01:00] this like a new kind of xchat [01:00] What does everyone think of 10.04, I am running 9.10, should I update? [01:00] is not the old one [01:00] tripelb: a lot of things. In this case it will tell you all the software installed which name start with transmission [01:00] NE_Home, is that -(eye) or -(el) ? [01:00] gartral: is there a way for me to determine if i have abstr layer? [01:00] L [01:00] don't update Taulus [01:00] can someone link me to a site to place to get compiz widgets [01:01] I'm on it dpkg [01:01] i upgrade my ubunto to 10.04 [01:01] ubuntu* [01:01] better 9.04 than 10.04 ((( my opinion ) [01:01] sirlinux why? [01:01] bricky, There are 2 packages that give you more compiz plugins that are in the repos. [01:01] Taulus: for starters the default theme ;) [01:02] somehow i agree with sirlinux for the 10.04 [01:02] yeah [01:02] get stucked [01:02] bricky, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra and compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported [01:02] and after update goes very slow [01:02] edbiam: ah, I got one of those previously ill get the second one and see if it has them [01:02] He he! So I should reinstall 9.10 on my desktop also :) [01:02] Netbook remix desktop: Can anyone tell me how to change my desktop back to the classic style in Netbook remix lucid? It seems the "desktop switcher" has been removed [01:03] NE_Home, $ sudo dpkg -i transmission dpkg: error processing transmission (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: [01:03] Taulus, I suggest upgrading. Although I'm not running 10.04 currently I have used it. [01:03] Taulus: also i think theres still a bug where ureadahead uses a bunch of ram but doesn't let go of it after it profiles [01:03] tripelb: not i. That is for something else. It has to be l (lowercase L) [01:03] edbain any reason? [01:03] sizzlefire: I'm going now. If you have the same image on both screens try going to System > Preferences > Monitors and unticking the "Same image on all monitors" box. hopefully someone else can help if that doesn't solve it [01:04] vic20gmr_[lucid]: apt-cache state hal [01:04] i have looked, and looked for ways to improve my game performance, do any of u here have any ideas for me? [01:04] tripelb, that commands tells dpkg (the low level package manager) to install a package in the current directory named "transmission" Is that what you want? [01:04] tripelb: and no, you don't want to put sudo in front of dpkg unless you necessarily have to and know what you are doing [01:04] Taulus, It is a step forward. Compared to other releases 1 month after release 10.04 has very few bugs. [01:05] gartral: this is output [01:05] edbian no. I have transmission. It just doesnt put together a well-formed target file-path. [01:05] E: Invalid operation state [01:05] do i need to sudo it? [01:05] heh, ill just try it [01:05] Jordan_U: Super grub 2 disk didn't work, but I think it was a bad burn [01:05] tripelb, I don't know what you mean "a well formed target file path"? What is that about? [01:06] NE_Home, I looked it up before I did t he I. [01:06] tripelb: so, when in your homedir, what gives: ls -l .transmission [01:06] how do I auto mount a samba share, at boot [01:06] gartral: sudo made no difference [01:06] NE_Home, That command makes no sense? [01:06] all seem to complex [01:06] iWaldo: Didn't work in what way? You can also dd it to a flash drive. [01:06] edbian: why ? [01:06] edbiam: okay I got them now, I just need to find some widgets now ^)^ [01:06] NE_Home, Oh, nevermind. I get it. Sorry about that! [01:06] edbian: lol :D [01:06] bricky, Not sure what you mean by widgets? === sirlinux_ is now known as SirLinux === dumont- is now known as dumont [01:07] NE_Home, :) [01:07] Tranmission doesnt understand the target location. I must be doing something wrong. --- I keep getting no permission for location. Even when I give it the desktop it puts "media" in front of it .. it reports a location that starts with media that I cant get permission to [01:07] done i solve my problem :P [01:07] edbian: In compiz there is an option for a widget screen like a clock, weather, etc, [01:07] edbian: if you have it enabled its f9 by default [01:08] bricky, That's for integration with gdesklets or screenlets check out those packages [01:08] Oh those are screenlets. [01:08] Ahhh.. [01:08] edbian: you know those buttons you click on to close/minimize/maximize a window? those are an example of 'widgets [01:08] tripelb: you just see if you have that dir in your $home [01:08] Jordan_U: It didn't recognize it as bootable [01:08] why My WPA KEY can not be save? [01:08] hi, while trying to put the sound controls back into my panel, I accidentally deleted my panel [01:08] onetinsoldier: sweet I can change them too? nice [01:09] how to put it back pls? [01:09] onetinsoldier, I don't think we're talking about the same widgets here. bricky is talking about desktop widgets. You're talking about gtk+ toolkit widgets [01:09] datakid, Do you have any panels left? [01:09] edbian: ahh, roger. sorry [01:09] edbian, no [01:09] onetinsoldier, No worries [01:09] How do I check to see what version ALSA is on my system? [01:09] datakid, in a term: "gnome-panel" [01:09] edbian -- I think it's since I put in vuze. I cant seem to get rid of vuze. [01:09] datakid, without quotes [01:09] ebdian: im talkin about the widgets windows wishes it could have :P [01:09] datakid: you add to a pannel what is called an "indicator applet" [01:09] emily_, aptitude show alsa [01:09] onetinsoldier: do u think i might have better game performance with low-latency kernal? [01:10] Thanks all, I will stik with .10 for now :) [01:10] edbian, "Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running. [01:10] " [01:10] 9.10* [01:10] okay, I knew I should have got those screenlets packages [01:10] datakid, first kill them all : "kill-all gnome-panel" [01:10] Jordan_U: Second CD works right [01:10] edbian, I guess I have to pkill gnome-panle and restart it [01:10] datakid, Then try again [01:10] vic20gmr_[lucid]: i don't think so, no [01:10] datakid, Yep! [01:10] why the hell that thing has become an "indicator pannel" I have no idea [01:11] edbian, ah, it turns out I do still have a panel - the bottom one :) I never thought of them as being the same thing :) [01:11] bricky, I got into those once but I got rid of them because I didn't find many of them more useful than the applets I could put in the panel [01:11] datakid, Yep! [01:11] ha ha [01:11] edbian ps > I tried this and got this --- help I feel like Alice thru the looking glass --- > grep vuze bash: grep: Permission denied [01:11] onetinsoldier: can i install it, have it on grub menu? [01:11] Jordan_U: The "detect any grub2 installation" just takes me right back to the grub CD menu [01:11] datakid, Right click the one you have and "new panel" [01:11] without reinstall [01:11] edbian: yeah I can see that happening [01:12] tripelb, What are you trying to do? grep filters things. [01:12] vic20gmr_[lucid]: i don't really know much about those real-time(rt) kernels. but i would think the answer to that is yes [01:12] Jordan_U: ...which then stops working [01:12] edbian, ok, so I go to my bottom panel, I right click, I choose new panel and then...nothign [01:12] bricky, Yep. They are pretty though [01:12] edbian, ok, don't mind me - fourth time lucky [01:12] weird [01:12] Hello, I am trying to get webcamstudio to work. While the cam works with cheese and the webcamstudio itself, it does not seem to work in ustream. I am reading vloopback is needed, but the software web site said that is not used anymore. Any ideas on what is needed? [01:12] edbian: =) [01:13] onetinsoldier: ok, thx - do u have any suggestions i might try, in order to get better gaming ? [01:13] datakid, You might have to delete all the settings for your panels. It sounds like you did something that made a panel exist but not be visable in any way. Does that make sense? [01:13] now I try to add clock to the panel and suddenly I have 6 panels [01:13] iWaldo: Can you check the md5sum of the download and resulting CD? It should be a9cdc2e74a012ed5c746ad0dd8ee299c [01:13] gah [01:13] datakid, :) [01:13] Jordan_U: Batman AA works.. sound, physx and all.. >.< [01:13] datakid, ha ha. You just didn't wait! [01:13] Jordan_U: Er, how? [01:13] edbian, yes I know. I was trying to see if there were any vuze still running. I want to completely remove vuze from my system. Tonight I did sudo apt-get remove vuze and it did a lot but vuze did not leave. [01:13] datakid: i've got the terminal commands that will reset your panels. Then you can rebuild them as you wish and populate whatever applets you wish [01:14] arimmer, it seems to be working, thanks though [01:14] I'm rebuilding now [01:14] why nobody worry about me? [01:14] tripelb, removing the package makes it so that that code can never be started again. It does not stop instances of that code that are already running. If you want to see what's running you can use ps -e [01:14] edbian I am also trying to get a torrent to download with transmission. It used to work. So I did something that changed it. [01:14] iWaldo: md5sum /path/to/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso && md5sum /dev/cdrom [01:14] is there anyway to remove the mail icon from the indicator applet? [01:14] vic20gmr_[lucid]: as they say in the automotive world, there's no replacement for displacement. just get the fastest and best computer parts you can to get the best performance [01:15] tripelb, If you want to filter the output of ps -e (cause there is a lot) send it to grep using a pipe and give grep something to filter based on like this: ps -e | grep vu [01:15] i need to know how to force a drive to be writable. my stupid ubuntu drive is screwed up, and i need to delete something in the /tmp/orbit-ckhikuzad directory (or move it for backup purposes) to allow it to boot. [01:15] tripelb, That will show every line in ps -e that has vu in it [01:15] tripelb, Make sense? [01:15] edbian that's what ps was supposed to to ps > grep vuze I thought would give me all the vuze that is running. It has in the past for firefox. What happened. [01:15] tomcyl, we need to know more than what you have given us [01:15] what does "it won't save" mean? [01:15] ok | not > [01:15] tripelb: I suggest this to all who have questions around linux in general. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CBgQFjAA [01:15] onetinsoldier: if i had the money for it, i wud [01:15] wtf.... ?? [01:15] tripelb, ps > grep ... is bsd syntax. Linux syntax is ps | grep ... [01:16] tripelb, ps -e shows all of them [01:16] NE_Home, I found a great guide to ubuntu once but I keep haveing bad hard drives so I cant get to stuff yet [01:16] onetinsoldier: but i dont, so i have to make the most of wut i have [01:16] tripelb, ps shows what's being run on that term by you or something [01:16] NE_Home: you DO know that's an invalid url? [01:16] edbian: ps > grep isn't valid bsd syntax either :) [01:16] tripelb: i hate pasting sometimes... the idea is that that document "rute.pdf" is a recomended one for all who feel they should learn suff for linux in general [01:16] Jordan_U, tripelb ps > grep is just jargon ;) [01:17] ok , i can not connect my W/L, The WPA key always go back to the one i used before [01:17] can someone suggest a route to take?? i have a 120gb, 2 (windows) partition hdd that i need to image to 3 other 160gb drives.. from linux if possible, while maintaining what ever file/partition structure windows has.. [01:17] and yes arimmer, i know what that means [01:17] <_jok> Hi. could I could get a bit of installation support please? I have HDD partitioned as shown (http://i47.tinypic.com/24w9fk9.png) and would like to put Lucid in the ~25GB space at the end of the drive - the installer, however, wants to chop up my 100GB storage drive. How can I get around this? [01:17] tripelb: arimmer: please search in google for "rute.pdf" and that is what I meant [01:17] is linc-114f-0-5951312c321ef a file, or folder? [01:17] tomcyl, how are you trying to change the WPA pass? [01:17] Out_Cold: u wanting an app to copy part's? [01:17] _jok, Using the installer choose "use available space" [01:18] windows parts? [01:18] vic20gmr_[lucid], a mix between dd and rsync maybe?? dd would be fine but i'd waste 40gb of space?? [01:18] edbian, there is nothing vuze running. There is vuze still under applications>internet. Ne_home need to keep my focus in. [01:18] can i use apt-get to install the gedit latex plugin? [01:18] tripelb, Might be a bug that it's been left in the menu. Does it run if you click it? [01:18] Out_Cold: im not familiar with those acronyms [01:19] My old WPA is 123123, [01:19] Jordan_U: No md5sum in Mac terminal, and now I can't boot ubuntu off the grub 1 cd [01:19] vic20gmr_[lucid], both are apps found in linux... [01:19] tomcyl that's not much use to me, and it doesn't answer my question [01:19] how are you trying to change the WPA pass [01:20] cya [01:20] Hey guys. Small problem here, just rebooted to find that my conky setup seems to always be on top of everything... [01:20] edbian, now something called evince is asking me about crash recovery (I downloaded rute.pdf) [01:21] tripelb, evince is a pdf reader. It must have crashed [01:21] Out_Cold: well i found a windows part program that must be installed under windows, but it duz copy/move/resize, etc [01:21] tripelb, You're doing a lot at once! :) [01:21] I've got the newest update for Ubuntu, I went from 9.04 to 10.04 (through 9.10) and decided, "I'd like to try KDE." I used the update manager from Ubuntu and downloaded everything, and restarted my computer, i've got KDE apps now, but it's clearly still using GNOME, and is making the systems settings app crash. Any idaes how I can get KDE running from here? [01:21] Out_Cold: its free, "easeus" is the name [01:21] iWaldo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM%20on%20Mac%20OS%20X [01:21] vic20gmr_[lucid], only problem is i have 3 linux servers and 5 broken laptops.. [01:21] Out_Cold: u might check it out [01:21] JC, Go to the log in screen and look at the sessions... thingy [01:21] JC, Do you know what I'm talking about? [01:21] Out_Cold: have u tried gparted live? [01:21] How do i create a socket file? [01:22] Out_Cold: read this first: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916146 [01:22] Guys how can i download torrents through terminal????????????????????? [01:22] magik, Yes. [01:22] this is incredibly urgent, ubuntu wont boot without this. i need to know how to create a socket file! [01:22] magik, But you need a torrent program that runs in the term. rtorrent is an example [01:22] Loshki, ahh that may be what i'm looking for.. thanks [01:23] edbian, NE_Home - I googled the minor question. ubuntuforums rules. /xxx/.config/transmission [01:23] Edbian, got it, thanks! [01:23] magik, http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/05/02/howto-use-rtorrent-like-a-pro/ [01:23] JC, No problem! :) [01:23] edbian, NE_Home - I googled the minor question. ubuntuforums rules. /xxx/.config/transmission (what I was doing didnt search DOWN for transmission) [01:23] edbian: Haha yeah looking at that now [01:23] magik: sudo apt-get install transmission-cli [01:23] tripelb, Good call [01:24] magik, That too [01:24] Also, I have NO sound working whatsoever. According to the sound preferences app, i've got the driver for it, but no audio coming out through my speakers, despite the fact that programs are outputting audio. The cable and speakers work (I connected my ipod to it) [01:24] Jordan_U: md5 returns as 083812b4eb170d998323141b8a5c9c8c [01:24] tripelb: oh. Well, depends on versions anyhow. [01:24] (Any ideas?) [01:24] <_jok> edbian, in the screeny shown earlier, the installer did not give me a free-space option because all partitions were already formatted. I deleted the last one to turn it back in to unformatted free space and now the installer _does_ give me an option to use it. Thank you for leading me to it though! [01:24] ok [01:24] got both those now what??? [01:24] how do i get the synaptic package manager to install just the gedit-plugin that I need [01:24] Out_Cold: that url looks intwersting, duz it look like it will work for u? [01:25] _jok, I've thought that terminology in the installer has been confusing since 7.10 [01:25] forget it. this channel, and entire server hasnt helped me with any of my past 5 things i have needed help with. go back with fixing a stupid torrent client while i am stuck in an old buggy debian IRC. thanks a lot, you are SO helpful! [01:25] magik: transmissioncli somefile.torrent [01:25] vic20gmr_[lucid], more along the lines of what i wanted [01:25] NE_Home, edbian: now what's the problem.. this BACKSLASH is wierd. This in the (apparently the config) text file. --> "recent-download-dir-1": "\/media", "recent-download-dir-2": "\/media\/3A30C15E30C1222D\/Media - DL'ing", "recent-download-dir-3": "\/home\ [01:26] i try to connect my router, i try make new connection, change router name , it ask pass, i enter the one i just make, but what ever i enter , it keek goes bake to the one i enter before [01:26] tripelb: where did you get that ? [01:26] Also, I have NO sound working whatsoever. According to the sound preferences app, i've got the driver for it, but no audio coming out through my speakers, despite the fact that programs are outputting audio. The cable and speakers work (I connected my ipod to it) Any ideas? [01:26] <_jok> edbian, essentially there were three options when the last partition was already formatted (side-by-side, use entire disk, or specify manually). when i deleted that last partition to make it free space, there were four options. [01:26] <_jok> Cheers though. [01:26] tripelb, the other slash is an escape character [01:26] when i try to intall with the package manager [01:26] i get 147 files [01:27] iWaldo: That's not the most recent version of super grub2 disk, it's 1.30 (though it should still work). [01:27] _jok, Yes. I understand. I know it does that. I think it's terribly confusing especially for new users [01:27] <_jok> Yes, it confused me :) [01:27] NE_Home: What do i put for the somefile.torrent??? === squiddy is now known as Guest304 [01:27] <_jok> edbian, I am about to chose (use largest continuous free space), I assume this way will not create a separate swap partition for Lucid. [01:27] magik: you download one as you always do. Remember how torrents work ? [01:27] hi, i've got 2 questions : how to turn off KMS and how to boot into linux with 'nomodset' ? [01:28] Out_Cold: cool hope it works [01:28] _jok, That means "use the open space at the end of the drive" [01:28] NE_Home: Yeah but wouldnt i need to put in a location for it aswell? [01:28] Guest304, send me a pm i have the exact links you need [01:28] _jok, If I understand you correctly (and I think I do) it's exactly what you want. [01:28] why does the package manager try to install ~140 files when all I checked was 1 [01:28] iWaldo: http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso is the latest version. [01:28] phillyj, dependencies. The file you wants needs those other ~140 to work. [01:28] Helloo? [01:28] magik: the intended file will be put to the current directory, if I remember correctly [01:28] phillyj: dependencies? [01:29] !hi|JC [01:29] JC: 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! [01:29] Okay guys I'm having an issue, I can't seem to delete my last panel [01:29] Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an old desktop PC. I have a problem though. The keyboard that goes with the computer (a usb keyboard) doesn't work in BIOS. It doesn't start working until Windows loads up. I can't select options once the live CD boots up [01:29] Jordan_U: That's the version that failed to work [01:29] Okay guys I'm having an issue, I can't seem to delete my last panel, it's like Ubuntu is forcing me to have at least one panel open, which I don't want, how do I fix? [01:29] edbian, any idaes? [01:29] edbian: really? its just the gedit latex plug-in [01:29] how do i compile with a makefile and redirect the output to a file in bash? === emily_ is now known as EmilySC [01:29] JC, What's the question? [01:29] phillyj, IDK ? [01:29] Jordan_U: well... using kde fixes my sound issues.. and surprisingly, games run smoother [01:30] Jordan_U: I'm using the version immediately prior to latest [01:30] <_jok> edbian, I assume the installer will also put GRUB on the drive too? [01:30] 1.30 [01:30] well edbian, NE_Home -- I am trying just going into transmission and resetting. If that doesnt work I'll close it and reopen it. It might have crashed in a system crash and not recovereed. I dont know. [01:30] phillyj, I don't know why it would need so much. Maybe it's installing a bunch of latex stuff? [01:30] _jok, Yes [01:30] phillyj: so, you want gedit to have the latex plugin. But you see, the plugin needs latex itself... which in turn might need some other things.... [01:30] _jok, I think there is a way to tell it not to but it will try. [01:30] edbian NE_home, how do I get rid of VUZE? I dont see a gui uninstall. [01:30] I've been dealing with this issues for a few hours now.. Help please? My laptop speakers don't mute when I plug in headphones :( === Chazz is now known as Guest16491 [01:30] NE_Home: i got texlive [01:30] KungFuBear, I've had similar problems, a lot of old BIOS setups don't include USB Keyboard Driver support. You're either going to have to update your BIOS (from the Manufacturer website, one of the only things Dell still does well for example) or use a PS/2 Keyboard for the install. Presumably it has that input considering it would make using a keyboard impossible if it did not and wouldn't let you use USB [01:30] iWaldo: Can you check that the md5sum of the burned CD matches a9cdc2e74a012ed5c746ad0dd8ee299c ? [01:31] tripelb: i don't know what vuze is [01:31] tripelb, to get rid of fuse you sudo apt-get remove [01:31] iWaldo: The CD with 1.98s1. [01:31] Edbian, I have NO sound working whatsoever. According to the sound preferences app, i've got the driver for it, but no audio coming out through my speakers, despite the fact that programs are outputting audio. The cable and speakers work (I connected my ipod to it) [01:31] aSt3raL: try this... make > make.log 2>&1 [01:31] edbian, literally? [01:31] phillyj: well, you just check what that package you need depends on [01:31] tripelb, If you are having that much trouble with transmission you can delete the .config/transmission folder and all of your settings will be erased and it will act like it is brand new again. [01:31] NE_home thanks. I'll see you later after I work this one out. [01:31] edbian, brilliant [01:31] Jordan_U: The 1.98 CD doesn't even mount [01:32] JC, I've never had to debug sound before. I'm not sure! Sorry :( [01:32] tripelb, sudo apt-get remove vuze [01:32] tripelb, no, ;) [01:32] NE_Home: I did transmissioncli Avatar[2009]DvDrip[Eng]-FXG.5486729.TPB after downloading the torrent and it didn't work. It said failed opening torrent file. [01:32] <_jok> edbian, you are right, it's in the Advanced options of the pre-install review screen. [01:32] Edbian, any ideas where I could find someone who does? I've google'd the issue and no one seems to have a clue lol. [01:32] Jordan_U: But its md5sum is 813988b1ca0f5dfba1306f9edb8d0d6a [01:32] KungFuBear, did that help? [01:32] _jok, There ya go [01:32] magik: did you put the name between quotes? " " [01:32] edbian, just the settings.json or the entire directory? [01:33] * _jok has finger's crossed. [01:33] onetinsoldier, how can i tell if that worked? [01:33] <_jok> :] [01:33] tripelb, just the stuff for transmission? I'm not really sure what you're asking [01:33] iWaldo: That is the wrong md5sum. What is the md5sum of the .iso file? (to determine whether it's a bad download or a bad burn) [01:33] what quotes? "lala" or 'lala' ? [01:33] JC, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [01:33] aSt3raL: look in the make.log file... or do ls -l make.log and see if it has some size to it [01:33] JC, Also, make sure something called "PCM" is turned up in the volume applet [01:34] NE_Home: its wierd, says i need 130 packages; i can understand rubber but do i need ruby installed also? [01:34] edbian, thanks. I'm not sure where to find "PCM" though. [01:34] magik: small trick. Type transmissioncli Ava[TAB] (hit the TAB button) === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [01:34] Jordan_U: the md5sum of the ISO is correct [01:34] preciso de ajuda [01:34] Hey all, how do I get to single user mode on 10.04?

My laptop speakers don't mute when I plug in headphones :( [01:35] JC, right click the volume, select open volume control. IF PCM isn't one of the sliders edit -> preferences and add it. [01:35] Still didnt work [01:35] onetinsoldier, its 5mb and growing thanks [01:35] I have some wierd issues going on with Ubuntu specifically. I have two Netgear GA311 NIC's, but when I boot it up, eth0 and eth1, the two GA311 NICs show up as-if having the same MAC HW address and both don't work at the same time as a result. [01:35] What folder should it be in? [01:35] Currently it's in downloads. [01:35] phillyj: well i gues it depends on what the dependencies are. I can't say for sure... [01:35] preciso de ajuda com ubunto 10.04 [01:35] aSt3raL: you're welcome.. sounds like a lot of messages going into it [01:35] I would like to apologize to the channel for what i said last time i was in. i was angry because ubuntu wasnt booting because of a corrupt socketin my /tmp/orbit-ckhikuzad directory. i deleted this file, and ubuntu restored it correctly. so i am sorry for what i said.

[01:36] magik: transmissioncli /path/to/torrent/file/nameoffile [01:36] iWaldo: Try burning at a slower speed, or dd the image to a flash drive instead of burning to a CD (that image is a valid bootable CD, floppy, or USB image). [01:36] CkhiKuzad: no idea... but you're forgiven [01:36] ok [01:36] aSt3raL: chromium? [01:36] phillyj: highlight one of the files the update manager listed. the information about dependencies is listed. [01:36] Doyle, its a nuisance that made me hate penguins for a while.

[01:49] gbear14275: right [01:49] Flannel: Why is it in there then?

[01:53] acerimmer_ Any of WPA or WEP key i try to enter, the network will not remember [01:54] Rocketfish sound cards make me want to kick a baby. [01:54] tomcyl: so you have to login each time?? [01:55] JC, glad you mentioned that...i was looking at one on ebay [01:55] no, i can even connected [01:55] is there a ppa for gwibber for karmic without being the daily build? [01:55] i mean can not even connected [01:56] onetinsoldier: yes it works, thank you [01:56] BluesKaj, it wont load sound at all. aparently i'm not the only one to experience this. I've only seen one (reportedly) successful use of it in Linux, and it was in 9.10, on a fresh install. Nothing else. No audio is coming out at all. it's special. [01:56] so anyone know why this refuses to install [01:56] hello everybody, i got a problem with apt-get install, i have an error everytime im trying to install something [01:56] tomcyl: have you ever been able to connect with ubuntu [01:56] okapi14: you're welcome [01:56] i con not login to my router using w/L [01:56] tomcyl: ok, confused. YOu can't get on wifi at all or can't get to your router? [01:56] im can pastbin the information if needed [01:56] tarek, i've been a little busy with my own stuff till now. What's the app you're trying to get. [01:56] JC, isn't that realtek based ? [01:56] ok so it looks like the lvm partitioner is formatting my /boot to be ext2 [01:57] that normal Flannel? [01:57] JC, none of the application want to install [01:57] BluesKaj, you'd think. Aparently it's based on whatever drunk idiot put it together. [01:57] JC, it all started when i tryed to reinstall mysql5 [01:57] gbear14275: Boot shouldn't be in LVM, but I don't know why it'd be ext2 vs ext3 (I make mine ext3) but sure, it could be I guess. [01:57] i can not get to my router with WIFI [01:57] BluesKaj, I'm trying to update Alsa, i'll let you know if it works, but good god, I;'d get something else. ANYTHING else. Not worth the hassle [01:58] i using hard cable now [01:58] Tarek, how are you trying to install? terminal? software repo? [01:58] tomcyl: can u get into router via cable? [01:58] I'm beginning to seriously think that whatever happened to the R8169 driver in Linux 2.6.32 is seriously broken. [01:58] yes [01:58] JC, terminal as always, i have tried both even with synaptic graphical [01:58] tomcyl: can you get any other wifi networks? [01:58] tomcyl, yes, you need to know your routers basic IP address. What is the router you're using. Also, where are you clicking to get on wifi? [01:58] no [01:59] Tomcyl, what system are you using, laptop right? dell by chance? [01:59] tomcyl: laptop or desktop? [01:59] Flannel: ok, so I'm looking at my partitioning scheme here and changed the /boot to be ext4, I've got the other 30gb as LVM with two LV's, LV root and LV swap_1 [01:59] that look right or wrong to anyone? [02:00] Tarek, that's fun. Hmm. No applications, not even like the Sudoku game? I'm guessing if you use terminal you're more than aware enough to check hard disk space. What error comes up when you do this? [02:00] hi [02:00] my windows system is normal, only ubuntu can not using wifi [02:00] !hi|exxon [02:00] exxon: 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! [02:01] * gbear14275 install ubuntu server for 4th time tonight [02:01] tomcyl: what kind of computer? [02:01] * gbear14275 does so on the same machine [02:01] JC, yes none of them :)..its weird because i usually do aptitude update to fix any small error but this wouldnt get through, would you need a pastebin? [02:01] tomcyl, it's probably a driver issue. What is your computer model and brand? I'll help you find the right driver I've done that part billions of times lol [02:02] tarek, it'd be nice lol. [02:02] i using the same router to talk , same computer, not the computer [02:02] tomcyl: talk to jc [02:02] JC, like i said earlier, i tried to reinstall mysql but something went wrong, i have googled it before but nothing interesting...im gonna pastbin it [02:02] tomcyl, I know that, but the drivers are different in linux, it doesn't always matter if it works in linux right away. [02:02] tarek, thanks [02:02] :o/ how do i mount a whole disk image? with multiple partitions? [02:02] only happen from yesterday [02:03] JC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/442528/ [02:03] Need a good ap to record video with my webcam. Cheese is clunky. any suggestions? [02:04] gbear14275: That looks right, yeah. [02:04] this computer i been using for 6 months, [02:04] tarek, please type my name first if you want me to answer, it pops up as a notification so I know when to answer. I have 19 windows open [02:04] only 19 JC? [02:04] ok tomcyl next step: which version of ubuntu, and what brand and model is your wireless card? [02:04] JC, when i do ctrl-c to stop it i doesent work, so i have to do sudo killall dpkg to stop it [02:04] JC: slowing down much [02:04] Isn't acroread the package for Adobe Reader? It is in the search list but when I try to install, the msg says "Package acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source " [02:04] Out_Cold, he's being slack today :) [02:05] JC, i am tuping your name as always :) [02:05] Out_cold, yeah, today is a boring day lol [02:05] u 9.1 , w/l card? i benn changed 4 diffren one [02:05] I need to install an ftpd on my ubuntu 10.04 LTS, theres quite a few in the package list, which one should I install? [02:05] tarek, it sounds like you've got a major problem then. Have you tried using anything in the rescue function from a livecd? [02:06] JC, no i havent [02:06] loddon: go here an enable the 'partner' repository... System -Administration --> Software Sources --> Other Software tab [02:06] i dont think this is W/L card , [02:06] loddon: after that it should be available [02:06] JC, the weird thing is that after i kill dpkg i am able to install the program but only after killing [02:06] tomcyl, I cannot understand your english. it may not be the card, but it might be the driver. [02:06] oneinsoldier: thks, will try it now. [02:07] tarek, it's an issue with dpkg then, do you have a live cd handy? [02:07] just the WPA key auto changed to a 64 bit [02:07] tomcyl, do you detect having a router? === cbone_away is now known as cbone [02:07] tomcyl, as in the top of the screen, where the network notification icon is [02:07] yes, [02:08] JC, not right now, but i can DL it and burn it if needed [02:08] oneinsoldier: can i not just add the debian-multimedia line to sources.list? [02:08] Hey, I'm on 10.4 and I'm trying to connect to a vpn [02:08] tomcyl, so you can see that your wireless network exists? [02:08] !info acroread | loddon: need to enable multi/universe first [02:08] loddon:: Package acroread does not exist in lucid [02:08] It just says each time 'Connection failed because there were no valid vpn secrets' [02:08] oops [02:08] loddon: for acroread? no, i don't think so, but i could be wrong [02:09] yes, but , when i enter Wpa key, it auto changed [02:09] tarek, that's what i'd do, I've had the least problems with 9.10 disks. the ones for 10 have been extra iffy on burn. Yayyy. [02:09] JC, its funny because i can actully install the program but only after going through the process of killing dpkg [02:09] tarek, I understand that lol. that's probably where your problem is, and you'd have to redo dpkg. ya know? [02:10] JC, redo dpkg? [02:10] the problem is ; the WPA can not been saved [02:11] JC, have you taken a look at pastebin? [02:11] tarek, dpkg is probably corrupt. reinstall would have been a better choice. Yeah I saw the pastebin, dpkg is the only part of it that is returning errors. [02:12] tarek *reinstall instead of "redo" [02:12] ok... i suspect I found the problem. I'm at the grub bootloader screen and its asking me if I want to install it on the first hard disk... that would be sda right? [02:12] what errors is dpkg giving? [02:12] JC, well i understand, so what are suggesting ? :) [02:12] tomcyl, you're saying that you changed your WPA password, and that each time you reconnect, it's got the old password saved? [02:13] what would cause the menu bars to start flashing? [02:13] also , JC, it was show 15% connection what mater how close to it [02:13] I installed google chrome and it works perfectly fine. However after a restart of ubuntu the chrome launcher is missing from the main menu. Chrome still runs by running google-chrome in terminal though. [02:13] if my apt/dpkg were to get broken, i would become more powerful than you can possibly imagine! [02:14] system - preferences - main menu [02:14] see if that puts it back in the list :) [02:14] Tarek, well, considering dpkg is kind of required to do any install, you're gonna have a pretty hard time installing it, with a corrupt installer program in the first place... DL the live CD, and go into the rescue mode (accessable from the inital menu, remember when you were asked if you wanted to TRY ubuntu? There.) it should detect an error with dpkg, if not, boot into the live cd, and using the live cd, do the install for dpkg. apt-get dpkg o [02:14] whatever. [02:14] what errors is dpkg giving? [02:15] Tomcyl, what is your router model? is there a way you can be MUCH more specific? Computer and Router model information pls. [02:15] onetinsoldier, there's a pastebin for it. [02:15] JC, alright i understand! well thanks for the help, ill let you know how it went [02:15] tarek: i'm going to have a look at the pastebin [02:15] tarek, thanks, I'll be online. [02:16] onetinsoldier, thanks that would nice [02:16] ok... where do I want to install my bootloader? on my / partition? or on my /boot partition? Or just to the MBR of the hard disk with the /boot or / partition on it? [02:16] onetinsoldier, it looks like every time the dpkg starts up, it's having a problem. That's why I suggested the possible corruption [02:17] hello [02:17] 大家好，请教下有朋友用amsn没？ [02:17] !hi|frostar [02:17] frostar: 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! [02:17] no one? where do you install grub? [02:17] tarek: i'm not very familiar with the lsof command, but do you get anything from --> lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat [02:17] !cn | Frostar [02:17] Frostar: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:17] gbear14275: yes [02:18] sorry [02:18] gbear14275, generally the default is fine. [02:18] JC: roger that. looks bad in the pastebin [02:18] JC: the default is a 3tb hardware raid array... I think thats why I've been getting the "unresponsive underscore of death" after I install *just made that up [02:18] JC, not just that, each time i reconnect , it is got the password saved, that password i never seen it before, it is 64 digi,(ef985be1445c9010f2b57144e6b0f22aca861dfdd7c4186b19e65bf814decde5) [02:19] onetinsoldier, i dont get anything from that command sorry :) [02:19] onetinsoldier, I'm hoping the livecd is going to be able to reinstall the dpkg without having to reinstall ubuntu altogether. [02:19] <_jok> I have a question about GRUB too, I'd like to change the simple menu order there doesn't appear to be a menu.lst in /boot/grub [02:19] <_jok> Anyone know where I can find it? [02:19] hi, i put ubuntu 10.04 on a new i3 system, using its integrated graphics... X seems to lock up when playing videos (with mythtv)... I can still SSH in and reboot, but ugh. Are there any known instabilities with the driver, or suggestions for how I might figure out what's going wrong? [02:19] jc: maybe have him reset the router to defaults and walk through configuring *buntu network settings? [02:19] gbear14275, excellent term lol. you're trying to INSTALL ubuntu yes? have you before on this machine? [02:20] tarek: ok, do you get the same error output if you try --> sudo apt-get -f install ? [02:20] acerimmer, that's what i'd do if I were him, but i think there's a communication barrier. [02:20] _jok: menu.lst went away with grub legacy. grub 2 is different [02:20] wtf...... http://pastebin.com/UkkRXAKU [02:20] tomcyl, is there anyone else in your home using your router at the moment? [02:20] JC the router this bigpond netgear, i did changed to dlink my other laptop can easy go in, [02:21] !grub2>_jok [02:21] _jok, please see my private message [02:21] JC: Yes, I'm reinstalling, I just chose /dev/sdb as my install location... I'm hoping that is correct [02:21] tomcyl, what version of ubuntu are you using, and have you updated recently [02:21] JC: refer to a loco?? [02:21] onetinsoldier, yes i found that command online about forcing it but didnt do anything [02:21] <_jok> Thanks. [02:21] I am having problems with downloading some of the updates. I am running ubuntu 10.something, the newish one [02:21] hey all, is it possibly boot an Ubuntu installation to tmpfs in ram but still have some way to sync back to disk periodically? [02:21] I need to sync my 5th gen video iPod from my mac with iTunes and linux. Banshee corrupted my music database is there any other good program? [02:22] speiros: what problems [02:22] JC NO body using my router , i using 9.1 [02:22] of ubuntu [02:22] SUCCESS! [02:22] gbear14275, if you're in ubuntu now, tell me what options you have to install to. [02:22] treize, i think rhythmbox does? [02:23] looks like some things to do with keyRing? [02:23] tarek: i don't know quite what to make of this error --> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [02:23] tomcyl, ok what I would do in your situation is reset the router entirely. just set it up again, should take about a half hour for both laptops. come up with a new name, new password, and set up a new connection on both computers [02:23] * gbear14275 dances [02:23] onetinsoldier, i understand...but what about the last one about the mysql package? [02:23] thanks anyway [02:24] ok... so I just installed server from disk.... I should run apt-get update and dist-upgrade to bring everything into the fresh correct? [02:24] Thanks Out_Cold but I'm kinda scared to try. I wish there was someone here with first hand experience since I just restored my iPod [02:24] acerimmer: I had an issue with a program, which I can't remember the name of. I think it was a database manager. It wouldn't download, so I removed it, then it wouldn't remove. I can't remember what it is called. Now I can't install the PERL updates, or a few others [02:24] gbear14275, assuming you have no desktop gui installed, yes that'd be the easiest way [02:24] treize, look at gtkpod i think it's called.. [02:24] is there a hardware detection/manager in 10.04? [02:25] I'll give gtkpod a look. [02:25] JC: Actually whats the difference between dist-upgrade and aptitude upgrade [02:25] gbear14275, you can only dist upgrade twice a year [02:25] tarek: well, i might know how to work around certain things, but they're all going to fail i think with the error happening that i pasted in above [02:25] speiros: and you're using software center or synaptic? [02:26] I was using software centre for both times. [02:26] Out_Cold: I don't think thats the case [02:26] tarek: what version of ubuntu are you running? [02:26] gbear14275, from 8.04 > 8.10 > 9.04 > 9.10 this is dist upgrading [02:26] speiros: suggest you exit SC and try synaptic. you'll see more information on what's going wrong [02:27] ill take that as a no? haa. [02:27] onetinsoldier, the last one 10 [02:27] acerimmer_: Thanks. I'll try that mate. [02:27] onetinsoldier, the last one 10.04 [02:28] tarek: roger. and does dpkg -l debconf ..show as..? ii debconf 1.5.28ubuntu4 [02:29] tarek: do you get all those error messages if you try --> sudo apt-get autoremove ? [02:29] out of curiosity, I'm new to the whole IRC thing -- why does my channel name turn red? [02:29] onetinsoldier, yes but it showed me an error first lol [02:29] SlidingHorn: incoming message [02:29] tarek: oh? what's the error? [02:29] slide, it's a highlight to your name based on client configs [02:29] onetinsoldier, i havent tried auto-remove [02:30] tarek: roger. just so you know, it's not 'auto-remove', it's 'autoremove' [02:30] onetinsoldier, Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold [02:30] | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend [02:30] |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) [02:30] ||/ Name Version Description [02:30] tarek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:31] Bah, time to give up on this machine [02:31] onetinsoldier, my bad then lol [02:31] so I'm trying to install frostwire, and it's erroring out @ sun-java6-jre. error dependency is not safisiable. But I cannot install it - its not in synaptic. [02:31] onetinsoldier, should i try autoremove ? [02:31] I can nuke it from the top down in a few days, anyway [02:31] Can someone tell me the command to create a linked folder? [02:32] tarek: sure.. but it'll probably bomb out [02:32] ok.... when i use apt-get install and then aptitude install package names seem to have {a} at the end of them. Does this mean anything? [02:32] onetinsoldier, bomb out?? [02:32] tarek: crash and burn [02:32] onetinsoldier, is it worth the try? [02:32] Does anyone know where to set the email address for to whom sudo sents a report when someone is not in the sudoers file? I don't think my sudoers file knows. [02:33] tarek: sure, it's worth a shot [02:33] I really want to break the damn sound card in half. Why the heck wouldn't a mobo have even BASIC onboard audio? [02:33] gbear14275: it means that package is being installed automatically to satisfy a dependency or a recommends [02:34] onetinsoldier: thanks! [02:34] onetinsoldier, ok! === joshbuddy_ is now known as joshbuddy [02:34] onetinsoldier, i still got the error... [02:34] JC, motherboards never used to come with onboard audio :P That started about 10-12 years ago really [02:34] /lastlog Roasted [02:34] So I'm trying to create a folder in my home directory that points elsewhere. Can anyone tell me the command for doing that? [02:34] trism, what? [02:35] Roasted: it is in partner in karmic [02:35] tarek: roger. sorry, i'm at a loss. you keep getting this error? --> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable [02:35] Roasted: err lucid [02:35] trism, I don't understand... [02:35] I wish to compress some files (avi and some videos) Which linux app you suggest please? [02:35] Samual, Oh I know that, you used to have to buy cards for everything, but it's 2010 lol. This mobo can't be more than 5 years old. [02:35] FrozenInferno: ln -s oneplace otherplace [02:35] FrozenInferno: Create a sym link for it. [02:35] Roasted: sun-java6 was moved to the partner repository [02:35] JC, some newer boards don't have it either for space for other components, namely gaming motherboards... But yeah I get your point :P [02:35] ksbalaji: most videos are going to not be very compressable. [02:35] ksbalaji, 7zip. [02:35] trism, the partner repo... how do I get tha repo? [02:35] FrozenInferno, sudo mount --bind "/windows/My Documents" "/home/user/Windows Documents" from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [02:36] !partner | Roasted [02:36] Roasted: 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 [02:36] onetinsoldier, its ok, no worries [02:36] JC, thanks [02:36] tarek: do you get anything from ps aux | grep debconf ? [02:36] Samual, yeah, It's not a high end mobo, (clearly) but i'd want to save space too if that was the case. But... it's not. so I got a rocketfish sound card because it was cheap and I was at best buy. Works in windows, but my mobo isn't acpi compliant so I have to use linux. I like linux, but i want my audio to work! [02:37] trism, you the man! thanks. [02:37] Dr_Willis, oh? so no use for 7zip?

[02:37] Anyone know how to set the email address that recieves the indident report when a user tries to sudo but isn't in the sudoers file. [02:37] onetinsoldier, i found this online http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/133537-subprocess-usr-bin-dpkg-returned-error-code-1-a.html [02:37] trism, I wish it was still in the medibuntu repo :( that'd be much easier [02:37] ksbalaji: most video files will not be shrunk by the various archive tools. [02:37] is there a good chm viewer for ubuntu? [02:37] onetinsoldier, what do you think about it? [02:37] CyL: theres a few in the repos. [02:37] chmviewer i think it's called CyL [02:37] JC, aha [02:37] Dr_Willis got it. Thanks. [02:38] CyL: gnochm is one [02:38] Dr_Willis: do you recommend one? [02:38] Dr_Willis: thanks [02:38] Dr_Willis, inspite of this limitation, any suggestion of app? [02:38] CyL: try them all. theres only like 4 in the repos last i checked [02:38] ksbalaji, while Dr_Willis is right, the 7z format is going to be one of the better, smaller, and more reliable compression formats. what are you trying to do with it? [02:39] ksbalaji: not really - its a waste of time. Try them and see. the archive manager tool can handle most all the formats if you have the proper packages installed. rar/.7zip [02:39] tarek: at first glance, trying to install, even a newer version , of bash, might be dangerous if that's what he was trying to do there. but, i could solve that problem easily. yours is a different issue [02:40] Do corporates buy Canonical Support.?

[02:42] Richiie, if your dns is set correctly, it may be that you just don't see your own network from inside.. [02:42] tarek: me too. sorry i couldn't be of more help. nothing from ps aux | grep debconf? [02:42] Richiie: did you set your router to allow port 22? [02:42] **name [02:42] CaptainTrek: yes Port 22 is open, [02:42] bluesKaj: Dr_Willis: Out_Cold: you see.. so many people trying to give suggestions and views.. there can't be any better support than community IRC support. :) hats off! [02:42] ksbalaji, it's more efficient to get a bigger hard drive if you can, to be honest with you. 1, the zipped files will be unplayable in any dvd player, only readable on a computer, and 2, they would load quite slowly on your computer, as you'd have to temporarily extract each time to view the video. Video files are generally pretty big, even at low quality. What kind of computer are you using? Brand, Desk or Laptop, Model? [02:43] but i dont understand what happend [02:43] Dr_Willis: synaptic is telling me it has unsovable depedencies: Depende: python-gtkhtml2 but it is not installable [02:43] geekyogi, the great thing about linux is that for every problem there is 100 solutions ;) [02:43] tarek, i've been busy helping a few others, what have you been able to do so far, can you catch me up? [02:43] Dr_Willis: this is for gnochm [02:43] i just installed deny hosts, and i looked in both allow.hosts and deny.hosts but cant find anything it has to to something whit my Domain name i checked online and it points correctly [02:43] geekyogi: even the term 'support' is a little vague. :) I doubt if some coprate ceo is going to call the 1-800-ubuntu # and ask what command is used to delete a file from the terminal. :) [02:44] Richiie, ask a friend to nmap or ssh attempt your dns name from outside your network [02:44] CyL: update/upgrade try again [02:44] CyL: or try some of the other chm viewers [02:44] Dr_Willis: just dont that, the error persists [02:44] Dr_Willis: LOL :P then he better stay out of the community support. :P [02:44] Out_Cold: do you want to help me ? [02:44] Dr_Willis: I'd like to give this a shot first, since it is integrated with gnome [02:45] Out_Cold: you can try to ssh my server if you want [02:45] onetinsoldier, i know i understand your help and thnk you [02:45] onetinsoldier, this is what i got http://paste.ubuntu.com/442547/ [02:45] pm me your hostname [02:45] tarek: sure. you're welcome. good luck [02:45] !info python-gtkhtml2 [02:45] Package python-gtkhtml2 does not exist in lucid [02:46] CyL: looks like it may have some bad bug going on with it [02:46] tarek, yes no? [02:46] tarek: well, that did show something. but i don't know if it's the cause of the issue. but i think it might be [02:46] Dr_Willis: should I fill a bug report? [02:46] onetinsoldier, i sent you the pastebin did you get it? [02:46] tarek: yes... it showed something that might be the cause of the issue [02:46] CyL: you may want to LOOK and see if theres allready a bug report filed on it.. then file one if theres not. [02:46] onetinsoldier, well lol we are moving forward [02:47] Dr_Willis, Thanks. How do I know whether I have the packages properly installed? =rar/.7zip? JC I have a desktop, with asus p5kpl-am board, intel 280ghz m-processor or something, 80gb hdd, and a sony DVD writer. [02:47] tarek: yes.. i just took a closer look at it. it's definitely the problem [02:47] Dr_Willis: I'll take care of it.. thanks for your advice... [02:47] onetinsoldier, yes! :) [02:48] !rar | ksbalaji [02:48] ksbalaji: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:48] Hi all, I've restored my mistakenly deleted panel, but I can't work out what I need to add so that when I minimise/close amarok or rhythymbox (for instance) I can get it back... [02:48] ksbalaji: theres also some package for 7zip support [02:48] !7zip [02:48] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [02:48] ksbalaji, it's really really inexpensive to update your hard drive, you can even install an extra alongside your current so you don't even have to reinstall your operating system. check craigslist if you're in the states, ebay if not, for an IDE hard drive, though personally i'd go with an external [02:49] Most every store in the USA had sales this weekend on hard drives. :) [02:49] tarek: what do you get from --> dpkg -l mysql-server* [02:49] trying to compress video files to save space - is not going to work very well. in fact you may end up with archives that are bigger then the original === wertik_ is now known as wertik_rus [02:50] JC: he's got an installation process hanging -> ps aux | grep debconf /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.1.prerm upgrade 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1 [02:50] onetinsoldier, here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/442550/ === Guest16491 is now known as Chazz [02:51] tarek: ok, do --> kill -9 1999 [02:52] Ok, My turn to ask a question. I'm looking at the sound troubleshooting guide on the ubuntu help site, ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblems ) and I get to the part where it says "Do you have the sound modules installed?" It asks me to type " find /lib/modules/'unamer -r' | grep snd" and it tells me that the directory does not exist. Then, the guide says to use "sudo aptitude install [02:52] linux-ubuntu-modules-'uname -r' linux-generic" but it says it can't find it. am I supposed to substitute something for "uname -r"? [02:52] tarek: then tell me if this works now --> sudo apt-get autoremove [02:53] ok my my desktop has an nvidia on board graphics card, and the only moniter it has is a 32 inch tv. i cant install the driver because i cant see to login, but it work fine on live. Any help ? [02:53] JC, I also am thinking on getting an external 500gb drive. But in the meanwhile... I just would not want to get stalled! Thanks Dr_Willis ! and bye! [02:54] onetinsoldier, sorry no [02:54] is there any way to install the driver to the hard drive while running live? [02:54] ksbalaji, you're probably better off deleting your videos then, or getting a cheap flash drive and compressing to those. they're bigger than dvd's., more reliable generally, and you can rewrite them [02:54] onetinsoldier, what if i get in the dpkg file and delete the mysql stuff in it? [02:55] 500gb? i wouldent even bother with anything less then 1tb these days. :) [02:55] tarek: no? arrgh. that alone won't do it. you have a running process hanging that's locking up dpkg [02:56] what to use as a system-wide equalizer? or anything that'll let me tweak treble/bass. [02:56] onetinsoldier, yes i think its the mysql stuff [02:56] <--desperate [02:56] onetinsoldier, should i remove it manually? [02:56] tarek: if you do --> ps aux | grep debconf ...is the hung process PID still 1999 ?? [02:56] jasper_: you can boot a live cd and chroot [02:56] tarek: PID = Process ID === titaniumbrella is now known as Carbonish [02:57] Will that allow me to install this driver to the HDD? [02:57] onetinsoldier, there is no more pid process in it [02:57] i'm wondering if the "uname -r" is supposed to be something else. [02:57] is there any reason PAM is enabled in sshd_config by default? It seems I should disable it if I don't know what it is [02:58] tarek: i know a reboot will clear out the hung process for sure. but there might perhaps be a problem if your system tries to install mysql-server again [02:58] tarek: show me the errors from.. sudo apt-get autoremove [02:58] hello all, i've just compiled and installed cdrdao-1.2.3 to solve a lucid's problem, but now the update manager insists in suggesting me an older version. I really don't understand this behavior, and my question is if there's a way o fixing this without "locking" this installed version. [02:59] hey, i compiled a program in terminal.. first made a .cpp, then made it into a .o and then linked it into a .x file [02:59] tarek: are you in much of a hurry? [02:59] but when i type hello.x to run it, it acts like nothing is there [02:59] whats up with that [02:59] onetinsoldier, here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/442552/ [03:00] onetinsoldier, not really [03:00] tarek: ok, that's good :-) [03:00] onetinsoldier, yes but im sure u got other people to help! [03:01] bttf: bash basics? you are doing ./commandtorun ? [03:01] bttf: bash basics? you are doing ./hello.x [03:01] onetinsoldier, dr_willis, any idea on what that means in the tutorial? [03:01] can I upgrade from 7.04 (unsupported) directly to the latest? [03:01] tarek: no, i don't. because i don't try to help two or three people at once. that's torture if you ask me ;-) [03:01] uname -r =>gives some verison info about the current running kernel [03:02] Dr_Willis, wasn't aware of this lol THANK YOU [03:02] onetinsoldier, im sure it would be too much work! [03:02] ok, so i just enabled key based sign in on my server and the status info that used to come up when I would log in is no longer there... anyone know how to reenable that? [03:02] JC: i'm just concentrating on tarek for now. it's how i'll get him fixed up. if i start getting distracted, well... [03:02] or why it went away in the first place [03:02] bttf: Bash /PATH fundamentals [03:02] $ uname -r [03:02] 2.6.32-22-generic [03:03] jannon: no you cant. You have to do it one release at a time.. I suggest a clean install. [03:03] :( [03:03] what does that mean Dr_Willis [03:03] tarek: does this work out ok? sudo aptitude purge mysql-server-5.1 [03:03] Bash /PATH fundamentals? [03:03] excuse my noobacity [03:03] bttf: go learn some BASH and how Linux handles the PATH for commands. 'the current directory is NOT in the default PATH' [03:04] current directory is not in default path ok ok COOL ty [03:04] tarek: if it gives errors, i need to see them. i need to see any error messages yo receive. if it's just a line or two, then you don't have to use pastebin [03:04] bttf: check 'echo $PATH' to see your current PATH [03:04] ok [03:04] dos does it the opposite (i think) current dir is the first item in the path it uses [03:05] onetinsoldier, i got a lot of stuff coming out, http://paste.ubuntu.com/442554/ [03:05] Is there a way to dump my iPod on Ubuntu? [03:05] onetinsoldier, the error isnt at the end tho! [03:06] what package do i need to install to share files over network? [03:07] what to use as a system-wide equalizer? or anything that'll let me tweak treble/bass. [03:07] tarek: roger that. we're getting there. there's two choices you have here. 1) try to get mysql-server installed, and it might just install ok and be all good. 2) edit the package list manually so that the system doesn't even know that mysql-server has even touched your system [03:07] tarek: if you want to try #1, then do --> sudo aptitude install mysql-server [03:08] phoebus, in a terminal type alsamixer, that will get you what you need [03:08] HOLA [03:08] !es|juan [03:08] juan: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

If only I could control treble for the sound cards and bass:P [03:09] tarek: it's actually likely to work [03:09] dude i'm glad that i'm not using 40 gigs on just installation with all the programs [03:09] like my windows box [03:09] onetinsoldier, let me try it now and tell you what it gave me [03:09] tarek: ok --> sudo aptitude install mysql-server [03:09] can someone tell me what packages to install to enable file sharing over network though [03:10] onetinsoldier, i got an error because mysql couldnt be stopped [03:12] tarek: ok. you might have to kill hung process again. but let me see the exact error message [03:13] kr3w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [03:13] tarek: i also want to see the output of --> dpkg -l mysql* [03:13] acerimmer_: i think i just found it [03:14] onetinsoldier, this is the first pastebin first http://paste.ubuntu.com/442556/ === quiesense is now known as quiescens [03:15] onetinsoldier, this is about dpkg dpkg -l mysql [03:15] No packages found matching mysql.

I googled and found something: uname -r = Print the operating system release level? does it mean anything to you? [03:17] tarek: anyway.. you need to try what it was telling you there in the message --> sudo service mysql stop [03:17] onetinsoldier, yes sorry, here you go http://paste.ubuntu.com/442557/ [03:17] ksbalaji, I used the release level in place of uname -r and it still came up with the same problem [03:18] how can i change the ownership of all folders within a folder? [03:18] Hai can i haz a question? [03:18] onetinsoldier, ok mysql has been stopped [03:19] Ahoy ahoy ahoy!! [03:19] tarek: 'cd' to a different directory and run the dpkg -l mysql* command again.. -or- run it like this --> dpkg -l 'mysql*' [03:19] tarek, onetinsoldier: the glob matched files, quote it to pass it safely to dpkg, or use aptitude as I showed earlier [03:19] Anybody have a fricking problem here!? [03:19] Anyone can do cat /dev/video0 ??? [03:19] geirha: yep, i saw that ;-) [03:19] i do [03:19] ha ha, you'd like to see a raw data in those device!? [03:19] a big one.

[03:21] CaptainTrek, sudo chown -R newuser:newgroup folder/ [03:21] jar349: will that do all folders as well? [03:21] jar349: and how do I find the user/group? [03:21] CaptainTrek, all folders under the folder you specify, yes [03:21] onetinsoldier, i did sudo service mysql stop, should i try to reinstall mysql? [03:21] jar349: what about files?

[03:35] Piccolo48: The file you have is probably for x64, and you have x86. Go online and get the correct .deb for your architecture. [03:35] JC: ok, hello. what's up? [03:35] Or search the repository for the file (best solution) [03:36] k thnx [03:36] what is a good low profile card gigabit ethernet [03:36] seems I'm foolish enough to play with this "cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp" [03:36] and good / not so good chipsets [03:36] how do you stop this? [03:36] JC, I get 2.6.24-27-generic substitute for uname -r. I note that this does not have any space in between. Did you try that? [03:36] dfcnvt: ctrl+C [03:37] already did... it still makes noises.. [03:37] Yes, I did. [03:37] thanks [03:37] onetinsoldier, i'm having a bit of an issue [03:37] ? [03:37] JC: roger. who knows if i'll know what to do though [03:37] onetinsoldier, idk how to PM in irc, can you tell me the command for it so that i can just type there/ I tend to use "enter" as punctuation and that would make my life much easier. [03:38] /query [03:38] how do you send a zero bytes in /dev/dsp? [03:38] dfcnvt: cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp [03:38] dfcnvt: cat /dev/zero > /dev/dsp [03:38] Dizkonnekted, doesn't seem to actualize the setting, any ideas for that? Using the latest ubuntu. Audigy 2 card. [03:38] ah yes.. very well [03:38] anyone here done a jeos install? [03:39] Alternatively you can use "yes 0 > /dev/dsp" or something like that (man yes) [03:39] why i cant cat my device, on lignux everything its a file or im wrong ? [03:39] JC: what Stevethepirate said... or, i use /msg [03:39] strange, doesn't stop.. [03:39] JC: what Stevethepirate said... or, i use /msg [03:39] phoebus, sorry? i think you have the wrong nick? lol [03:40] onetinsoldier, apparently it wont lt me. whatever. i'm following this tutorial. i'm at the part where it says do you have the sound modules installed, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblemsuu [03:40] hello all, i've just compiled and installed cdrdao-1.2.3 to solve a lucid's problem, but now the update manager insists in suggesting me an older version. I really don't understand this behavior, and my question is if there's a way o fixing this without "locking" this installed version. [03:40] juancarlospac0: i think you can only cat character devices [03:40] juancarlospac0: as opposed to block devices [03:40] JC, noises? I had a similar problem with audacious. I changed sound driver. (keep changing always:-)) It helps - alsa, arts,esd.,oss,pulse audio.. OK. All the best. This much for my effort. [03:40] but i can cat disks, strange [03:41] DONT [03:41] DO THAT. [03:41] I hasn't tried this.. but what about this one "cat /dev/video0 > /dev/dsp" [03:41] juancarlospac0! [03:41] I would highly recommend that you not do that. [03:41] ah, nevermind.. doesn't work [03:41] JC: ok. i'm having a look, but i don't know that i'll be able to help with this or not [03:41] why i cant cat [03:41] its only a cat [03:42] Yeah, but something like "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sda1" is a BAD IDEA. [03:42] onetinsoldier, i'm more confused about the terminal part. I know what 'uname -r' does, and I tried substituting it for the result of just typing "uname -r" but both times it can't find the packages. [03:43] JC: so, what's happeneing right now? what are you trying to do exactly, and what exactly is happening? [03:43] not the same this is redirect something to a disk [03:44] onetinsoldier, I've got no audio, i'm running through the troubleshoot. this is the first block i've come across. i'm checking to see if i've got the modules installed, which it says "the directory does not exist" so i guess i don't. but when i follow the commands to get them, the system can't find the packages it requests (linux-generic-module) or whatever [03:44] onetinsoldier, "linux-ubuntu-module" [03:44] JC: i'm pretty sure that's because those package names are 'old'. those package names don't exist in newer version of ubuntu. that guid was made for earlier versions of ubuntu it looks like [03:45] guide* [03:45] Anyone know howto get transparency like http://www.cimitan.com/blog/wp-content/murrine_rgba-2.jpg ? [03:45] JC: give me a few minutes to see if i can find the right name [03:45] AndrewX192: That will be an option on your window manager. Compiz-fusion, etc. === incntrl is now known as marriedman [03:46] Stevethepirate, not the transparency on the rest of the window, just the window decoration [03:46] Thats with ccsm will do, I want the rest of the window [03:47] With murrine [03:47] onesoldier, thanks man [03:47] Still looks like just compiz-fusion with some custom theme. :/ [03:48] Stevethepirate, nah, its murrine with rgba on [03:48] But I cant figure out howto enable rgba [03:48] JC: not sure why you'd be missing them. you are running Lucid 10.04? [03:48] Then your question should be "anyone know how to enable rgba with murrine on compiz-fusion" :) [03:49] JC: they are installed with the kernel package [03:50] my multimedia multicast streaming system: "nc -l -p 5000 | mplayer -" and "cat /dev/video0 | nc 224.1.2.3 5000" the problem is that on Lucid my /dev/video0 dont want to cat [03:50] onetinsoldier, I had 9.04 on the system, I updated to 9.10, then to 10.4. 9.10 was over a network upgrae wirelessly, (to a neighbors house ) which probably wasn't too good of an idea. I may have had a corruption in there. the 10.4 update was after I got the internet set up here (new house) [03:50] onetinsoldier, this is all over the span of a week [03:50] JC, aptitude probably does some decent checksumming before installing packages. [03:51] JC: roger. i recommend you do --> apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic ..then reboot and try again [03:51] Anyway, time for some marshmallows on marie biscuits :) bbiab. [03:51] onetinsoldier: admit you wished I could scp you some :) [03:51] Stevethepirate: cheers :-) [03:51] I need to find a pid of a process in a script and get the number so I can kill that particular process, I tried kill $! and that didn't work, any ideas?? [03:52] onetinsoldier, i'll give that a try. stevethepirate, you'd think lol. enjoy your marshz [03:52] shane2peru_lapto: ps -ax [03:52] To get PID, then kill -9 to kill it. [03:52] wtf? [03:53] Stevethepirate, ok, thanks! [03:53] Stevethepirate: want a fairly cool weather app? i dare to get anyone to get it to compile in Lucid. i did it, but i dare anyone else, hehe. i'll send you my .debs of it if you want ;D [03:53] Nothanks, my "awesome" setup is in development atm :) [03:53] Stevethepirate: roger [03:54] has anyone run into bug 546992 on xubuntu after lucid lynx and been able to find the hal upgrade in the -proposed sources? [03:55] btw, I keep having major problems with ubuntu disks. i've used several brands of disks, minimal burn speeds, and used 3 different os's to burn the disks [03:55] checked the md5 of the iso's before burning [03:56] and after [03:56] but none of them boot [03:56] on ANY computer. [03:56] it makes me want to punch a baby. [03:56] JC, weird. Assuming you know how to config the bios to boot from the cd right? :P [03:56] that has to be the funniest thing i've read all day. [03:56] JC, did you try burning the iso at 1x? [03:57] is there a package for pulseaudio9.15 available for 9.04? I tried adding PPA sources i found online, but apt-get still says 9.14 is the newest available... [03:57] DCC SEND "urgayurgayugr" 0 0 0 [03:57] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [03:57] Well duh. It goes to the cd, and then something always goes wrong. The ubuntu 10.4 disk got to those four dots under the ubuntu word, the text version can never get past 7% on ANY iso, the hardware is all fine. idk what it is. [03:57] coz, yes, that's the minimum any of my machines/software will burn at === omniplex_ is now known as omniplex_taken [03:58] JC: what model/brand of video card does the system have? [03:58] it's onboard. [03:58] JC, ok left field question... do you smoke in that same room? [03:58] onetinsoldier american megatriend. [03:58] JC: and probably an Intel [03:58] Coz, I don't smoke. [03:58] JC, ok [03:58] JC: that sounds like a BIOS brand and not a video card brand [03:58] Coz, neither does my roommate, our friends smoke outside. (lucky bastards, my roommate keeps it freezing) [03:59] JC, ok just a thought :) [03:59] JC, I am curious if other things burn well data discs music discs etc? [03:59] onetinsoldier, you're right, I think it's thunder something? i can't remember. crap. how do I check that if it's not on the hardware? [03:59] Music discs are fine. [03:59] JC: well, command line would be.. sudo lshw -C Video [03:59] i don't use data disks, I have flash drives [04:00] JC, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [04:00] Okay, I'm still on the subject about Cat Video.. I think it will only work with a cable card for television.. This set as /dev/video0 as a cable card... So, it doesn't work specifically for a video camera itself anyway.. [04:00] dfcnvt: just use vlc mate. [04:00] JC, i know exactly how you feel, i even considered asking if there was a problem with the .iso's lol [04:00] coz, onetinsoldier, product is "Rage XL by ATI. PCI, 32 bits at 33 mhz [04:00] lol, okay.. I just wanted to see those raw data.. [04:01] i gave up trying after 5 attempts [04:01] I also can't get any resoultion higher than 800, it's hooked up with the standard monitor cord to my TV. [04:01] JC, how much memory on that card? [04:01] which sucks because it's 62 inches and I want to see clearer [04:01] i rebooted after a crash and my touch pad does not work now [04:02] coz, not sure, doesn't say. [04:02] JC: roger. don't know how to help really. but i'd make note of the so you can tell people. so, describe the problem then you can include that info [04:02] JC, ok have you tried the alternate cd ? [04:02] JC, have you done a md5 checksum on the iso? [04:02] onetinsoldier, ok, I will. coz, yeah, that's the one that wouldn't make it past 7% [04:02] Stevethepirate, I have 5 gigs worth of ubuntu isos. all check out just fine. [04:03] Then why is there a potential probleM? [04:03] Which was a very nice slapt to the face. I have no idae why they don't work, it's why I had no choice but to update from the only disc that worked, the 9.04. [04:03] JC, are you burning these ISO's directly from a flash drive? [04:04] JC: i know this, that card is really ancient history. it's probably not supported anymore [04:04] dr4c4n: (I'm looking at the package list now, it'll take me a couple of minutes) [04:05] coz, no, they're stored on the hard drive of my computer. I've used a flash drive to copy them between computers to try burning disks on them, with no avail. [04:05] rww: thanks, I followed the instructions as to how to use the package manager for -proposed packages [04:05] coz, i copy them to the hd before I burn the iso [04:05] and when I ran it could not find the hal package that the fix referred to [04:05] JC, ok thats what I wanted to know [04:06] My empathy icon in gnome-panel keeps flashing between the regular icon and a black square with a red sign on it, is this a common problem?? [04:07] DCC SEND "urgayurgayugr" 0 0 0 [04:07] NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [04:07] onetinsoldier, ooh, new piece of info, maybe helpful (the OVERALL problem currently is I have no working sound, which sucks because i build recording studios and kinda need audio hahah) one of the devices from "lspci -v | less" is a "Multimedia audio controller : Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster" (my guess is this is the generic name for my rocketfish card) Capabilities it says " access denied" [04:07] my SCSI controllers say that too, but I don't have anything hooked up to them . [04:07] is anybody here familiar with RAID setups? RAID-10 specificly. I only have three disks that I am able to dedicate to the array as of this moment, with the fourth one coming in thru the mail within a week. Circumstances force me to setup this array ASAP, and so I am curious if there is whatsoever of a possibility of setting up RAID-10 with the fourth drive marked "missing" ...? I am 100% OK w/ a temporary performance & risk o [04:07] f data loss period === pure_hate is now known as pure_love [04:08] hello everyone === pure_love is now known as pure_hate [04:08] phoenix___, Hi [04:08] !voicespeed 10 [04:08] edbian: hello [04:08] JC: don't know how to help there either really. original Creative Soundblaster? yet another piece of 'history' to me. my very first computer in like 1993 had one [04:08] !voicespeed 60 [04:09] phoenix___, Do you have a problem? I'd love to help with it! [04:09] dr4c4n: hrm, that's odd. It should be there, but I can't find it either. [04:09] it's a new card, I bought it a week ago [04:09] lol [04:09] dr4c4n: oh, I see why. It should be in lucid-updates by now? [04:10] edbian: ya, i am trying to run yahoo messenger in wine, done some tweaks and successfully loged [04:10] rww: I know i'm being horrible about this, but I was trying to watch a dvd movie (oh the horror), and my xubuntu lucid install unmounts the poor drive all by itself, so I can't see the dvd mounted [04:10] does anyone know how to run a script as a user from the root terminal? I'm trying to automate a script to run when internet connection is detected, but the script runs as root. I don't want the actual script to run with root privelages though. [04:10] phoenix___, That's not a problem ;) [04:10] phoenix, why don't you just use a multi IM client? [04:10] edbian: wait [04:10] JC: oh, i see what you mean now. well, is the rocketfish soundcard known to be well supported in Linux? [04:10] !vc en+14 [04:10] !vc en+14 [04:10] Question: Newbie to Linux here... former Windows Sevrer person... in windows, if you don't want to spend hours restoring a backup,OS, MBR, Patches etc.. the easiest way to backup is to take Snapshots, images using something like acronis of your sever. In linux, can you simply just backup all the files including the OS to a regular backup file or is Snapshot the best way to go too.. I want to be able to recover a [04:10] hanlin, use su as the first line in the script [04:10] onetinsoldier, no, but apparently a few people got it to run out of the box. [04:10] dr4c4n: alright, I just double-checked: it was transitioned from lucid-proposed to lucid-updates. Do you need instructions for installing from lucid-updates? [04:10] any suggestions please [04:10] hanlin, Simply script that the script changes user to you or something [04:10] Daverix: You're spamming the channel with whatever you're doing. Stop it, please. [04:10] Hi everybody - I get this strange issue where gnome desktop gets caught in "Keyboard mode" and can't use the mouse buttons. I can navigate around via keyboard arrows etc, but can't seem to escape that mode, and things won't respond to left or right mouse clicks... anyone else seen this? [04:11] JC: roger... hmm [04:11] Yosi, your message got cut off at "I want to be able to recover a" [04:11] hanlin, su is the command to switch user (e.g. su hanlin) does that makes ense? [04:11] rww: I should take off proposed from them first, and I will test it out [04:11] hanlin, s/ense/sense [04:11] Kevin Cruise is my hero.. [04:11] uno momento svp [04:11] does anyone know whats going on with my empathy icon in gnome-panel? it keeps flashing to a black box with a red sign in it. [04:11] it's un moment svp [04:11] In all honesty i'm probably gonna return this tomorrow and get a different card from a different store. [04:11] thank, I want to be able to recover a system in 10 to 20 misn tops..! [04:11] edbian: i'll try it and get back to you [04:11] edbian: i am able to browse the rooms list and select on upon entering chat, at the time of showing the captcha, it hangs, i have the backtrace of wine, could you help me [04:12] hanlin, sure === davidm_ is now known as Guest34370 [04:12] phoenix___, I don't think I would be able to offer any help. That's pretty deep stuff I'd have to research it for about a week first. MY first inclination is to suggest that you try empathy or pidgin. They can chat on the yahoo network among many others seamlessly [04:13] how do you figure out what package enables a command? I'm looking to use the brctl command but there is no pacakage called brctl [04:13] no one has any suggestions for backing up linux? [04:13] or bare metal recovery in linux? [04:13] rww: the software updates says my installation has been completely updated, however my installation is still not automounting and it's randomly unmounting :( [04:13] gbear14275: install apt-file [04:14] A good tool for backup is Back In Time [04:14] does anyone know whats going on with my empathy icon in gnome-panel? it keeps flashing to a black box with a red sign in it [04:14] my processors are running at at 100%, but the Processes tab under System Monitor doesn't show any processes running more than a few %. how can I kill these zombie processes? [04:14] Yosi it sounds like your looking for something like PING [04:14] will back in time work on a server [04:14] gbear14275, Alternatively you could search using synaptic or google but apt-file will give the best results [04:14] Yosi, you just want a quick recovery method? yeah . [04:14] yes [04:14] verty quick recovery for ubuntu servers [04:14] :) [04:14] edbian: i like gyachi very much except that , its fonts are ugly. about pidgin and empathy, in empathy i am not able to get the rooms list for yahoo and in both messengers voice chating is not possible [04:14] something that will do a full recovery in 10 to 20 mins [04:14] Yosi, PING will image an entire disk [04:15] gbear14275: when installed, then do --> apt-file search brctl [04:15] phoenix___, tu chet [04:15] edbian: the 'su hanlin' goes in the actual script? when I tried that, it's still running as root [04:15] is PING easy to use? will it work on servers? [04:15] is there a way to get my touch pad to work without rebooting? [04:15] edbian: what [04:15] it's french, it's a pretty common idiom used in the states. [04:16] its like [04:16] i will check it out, thanks... [04:16] "Ohhh ouch, sting man. Good dis." [04:16] Yosi, i would suggest you read up on it from the website, it will work on any partition or entire disk that needs backing up, its also bootable but as far i know doesnt backup over a network [04:16] hanlin, It will probably start as root but the commands after su hanlin should be run as hanlin [04:16] phoenix___, typo: tu che the french expression [04:17] how can i kill processes that don't show up with "ps" or under the System Monitor? [04:17] edbian: ok i got it. thanks [04:17] hanlin, awesome [04:17] inktri, ps -e will list all of the processes [04:17] dr4c4n: odd. Can you copy "apt-cache policy hal" to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link the page it creates here, please? [04:17] inktri, That will give you their names / numbers [04:17] dr4c4n: the output of ** [04:17] edbian: merci [04:17] does anyone know whats going on with my empathy icon in gnome-panel? it keeps flashing to a black box with a red sign in it [04:18] rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/442576/ [04:18] Sounds like ModoRescue.. I looks into that but people said it wasn't reliable... [04:19] MondoRescue [04:19] Yosi: i have another you might want to take a look at... http://geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [04:19] thanks [04:19] dr4c4n: alright, that's the right version. You might try restarting and see if that helps, since hal is one of those things that's tied into everything. If not, the original bug report you mentioned earlier would be a good place to ask. [04:19] Yosi: sure. you're welcome [04:20] i made a install disk from the start up disk creator. how can i make it boot directly into the live desktop? [04:21] rww: thank you very much for your help, I will try restarting again, btw this is an upgrade to 10.04 from 9.10, other than the random not automounting, and random unmounting, I like the release, I appreciate your assistance [04:21] Yosi: i can't speak for it personally as i've never used it. but i've heard good things about it. but for all i know, it requires x-windows. don't know for sure though [04:22] edbian: are you there [04:22] fair enough, i will read up more about it [04:23] phoenix___, Yes [04:23] phoenix___, Why?

(i need wireless 'net to get a newer distro). It's not dual-booted [04:24] phoenix___, I have no idea. I don't use yahoo so I've never investigated it. :) [04:24] jannon, Why are you using such an old version? [04:24] edbian: is there any channel for empathy [04:24] jannon, oops sorry. Didn't see that you need wifi to get a newer distro [04:25] edbian: yep :) [04:25] phoenix___, No, there is the developer mailing list but I don't know if that's the place for tech support. This is the best channel. I'm just not the best person for you :) [04:25] phoenix__, i think the app your looking for is GyachE, its the best Yahoo client I have found so far [04:25] jannon, does your wireless card show up in the output of sudo ifconfig -a ??

You're going to be spending a long time upgrading through the versions. Fiesty is 7.04, you have to upgrade 1 distro at a time. 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 9.10, 10.04 Each one is going to download 600 MB of stuff and possibly break things.

[04:36] deep: close any of those apps out while you install those packages.. just in case [04:36] I already has ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:37] Why does 8.04 LTS not have a prompt to upgrade to 10.04 LTS? [04:37] and I also have ffmpeg and x264 [04:37] hello. i got a new dell inspiron 1564 laptop, which has a i3 processor. should i install the normal 32bit ubuntu or amd64 bit version? [04:37] Izinucs, Go to system -> admin 0 [04:37] Izinucs, go to system -> admin -> software sources [04:38] deep: ok, i'm not certain what needs to be installed... perhaps the libgstreamer stuff. try installing libgstreamer0.10-0 and libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 [04:38] which vpn software would you suggest and why? server will be ubuntu... clients will be win/linux/maybeMac [04:38] what are other good and popular email clients? ive been a thunderbird user for years now, but since i switched to using imap, i've found that thunderbird just doesn't cut the mustard for imap accounts with a lot of email [04:38] Razion, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [04:38] Is there a way to move a distro from an sd card to my pc, grub is already installed, just need to get my boot placed a bootable sector [04:38] Raizon, halfway down, "Getting more than one application to use the soundcard at the same time" [04:38] naz: evolution on linux. [04:38] deep: that's probably what they're needing :) [04:38] Izinucs, Do you see something about the releases? It's a drop down menu [04:38] edbian: been there and it's set for LTS releases.. if I set it for incremental releases it prompts me that an upgrade to 8.10 is available.. [04:38] Izinucs, But it isn't suggesting 10.04?? [04:38] edbian: nope [04:38] deadmaus is evolution available for windows as well? [04:39] naz: thunderbird works great with imap for me.. massive amounts of email too, and from 4 mailboxes. 3 imap, 1 pop [04:39] naz: no [04:39] edbian: it did this on another machine as well. [04:39] Izinucs, Then that's all I got for ya! Sorry, that's odd. [04:39] Izinucs: you're running 8.04? [04:39] Izinucs, Have you seen it act correctly? [04:39] onetinsoldier: yep [04:39] naz: if you are looking at windows, then it will be outlook, thunderbird and eudora(old)\ [04:39] deadmaus i have about 6 accounts, each with >20 mailboxes, some mailboxes have 20,000 or more mails (they're mailing lists) [04:39] edbian: what do you mean "act correctly"? .. [04:39] Izinucs: have you tried sudo do-release-upgrade ? [04:39] alright, fresh install of 10.04 64 in a vbox vm (Vbox 3.2.0), last 4 lines: gar.pastebin.com/m7VAFmaC are intresting [04:39] hi all quick question, if i use ubuntu 10.4 to create a LVM raid 5 and then format the host OS, and want to restore the raid array.. is it possible? [04:40] onetinsoldier: nope.. before doing that I'll probably just reinstall via cd [04:40] Izinucs, Have you seen an ubuntu 8.04 system upgrade straight to 10.04 ?? [04:40] naz: believe me, using ms outlook (the other popular email client) will be worse [04:40] hanasaki: really depends on what you're using the VPN for, tunneling through ssh might work for you, or maybe openvpn, also "poptop" [04:40] im trying to take my distro off my sd card, where do i need to put it in my pc. in order for grub to find it [04:40] deadmaus but i' find that thunderbird 3 spends a huge amount of time downloading unknown "stuff"... i've switched offline sync off [04:40] Izinucs, I admit that I thought you could but maybe you simply can't? [04:40] poptop? [04:40] edbian: you're suppose to be able to go from one LTS to the next with no issue.. [04:40] naz: i've colleagues at work who have similar sort of emails - and it takes ages, compared to imap === Dizkonnekted is now known as Diz-Idle [04:40] er, compared to thunderbird [04:40] Izinucs, I thought so too [04:40] Izinucs: hmm? you don't even want to try do-release-upgrade ? perhaps i missed something [04:40] deadmaus tb2 worked fine for me... they seem to have screwed it all up with their attempt at being clever with offline sync [04:40] naz: but not sure what thunderbird is doing when it tries to sync the accounts [04:40] Docteh: poptop vs pptpd? [04:41] hanasaki: ya that [04:41] naz: hm. also could be the funky indexing in thunderbird 3. it indexes headers, etc once downloaded [04:41] onetinsoldier: could.. but doing an upgrade online is a lot slower than simply reinstalling.. espicially if I have a separate /home partition. [04:41] Docteh: looks like different sofware? [04:41] Izinucs: ahhh, roger [04:41] poptop might be client :-/ [04:42] JT: I think it has something to do with Phonon, actually. Amarok and Dragon player can both play at the same time, but not Amarok/DP and Firefox/various games/etc. [04:42] deadmaus yea i get "downloading headers" for up to 15 minutes when opening thunderbird... it'd be ok if it only happened once, but it does that all the time... also long waits when indexing [04:42] JC: I think it has something to do with Phonon, actually. Amarok and Dragon player can both play at the same time, but not Amarok/DP and Firefox/various games/etc. [04:42] deep: so did that work? any luck? [04:42] onetinsoldier: is there and ubottu factoid for current compatable ATI cards? I've got an old one in this machine and would hate to be put in the position of having to yank it. [04:42] deadmaus like i said... i've turned offline sync off so it should only need to cache the message headers [04:42] naz: well, earlier i used to read email from imap with gnus, or mutt. but been using thunderbird for a while. would hate to move clients again. [04:42] Razion: blame pulse audio! ;) [04:43] Izinucs: just the link to the HCL [04:43] naz: try asking in the thunderbird channel on irc.mozilla.org, see if they have some tips for settings for imap [04:43] !hcl [04:43] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:43] Docteh: Fresh install of 10.04. :P Any idea how to kill the thing? Even uninstalling pulse didn't help. === [J] is now known as juju2143 [04:43] deadmaus yea ive been there... the irc channel is about as alive as a 3 day old cow carcase [04:43] Hi, can someone point me in the direction of a webcam package to use, I have a webcam and ant to set skype up ? [04:43] onetinsoldier: what's HCL? [04:43] naz: ms outlook that comes with Office 2010 beta is nice. in the way it organises a lot of things, but it is still slow when you do "send/receive" [04:43] naz: yikes [04:44] Izinucs: Hardware Compatibility List [04:44] Does anyone know anything about having their desktops hooked up to their TV? My samsung is a 62 inch and supports HD, but the resolution can't be set above 800 by 600 [04:44] onetinsoldier: where's that? [04:44] !hcl | Izinucs [04:44] Izinucs: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [04:44] JC: could be because of your video card [04:44] Docteh: Fresh install of 10.04. :P Any idea how to kill the thing? Even uninstalling pulse didn't help. [04:44] JC: you checked to see if you have the updated drivers fer your card? [04:44] JC: how are you attaching your graphics card to your tv? [04:44] onetinsoldier: thanks.. :) [04:44] CaptainTrek, gartral, it's all integrated. How do I check ? [04:44] JC, Does your card support your monitor at higher resolutions? [04:45] olejo: run lspci and try googling the device id + linux and see what driver it is [04:45] deadmaus which is why i'm sadly taking the step of investigating alternatives... i think the tb2 -> tb3 change screwed up tb for imap [04:45] Izinucs: sure, you welcome. what model of ati is it? [04:45] Razion: i dunno, pulse audio loves me for some reason :) [04:45] JC: how is your TV "intergrated" into your computer? [04:45] JC: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [04:45] naz: tell me if you find some clients that can handle the volumes and imap/pop [04:45] gartral: he means his vid card [04:45] Docteh: Well, then. Any clue as how to set it up properly? [04:45] Razion: ps -ef|grep pulse and look for like pulsed or pulsed [04:45] Gartal, no, the video card is. [04:45] Thanks === tyler is now known as Guest21074 [04:46] Razion: well if some apps dont support pulse audio theres a padsp wrapper you can use [04:46] onetinsoldier: Radeon 9600 and the list only references Hoary Hedghog and breezy badger.. a little out of date [04:46] JC: ok.. but you still haven'tanswered my question [04:46] Docteh: Where might I find that wrapper? [04:46] deadmaus i doubt i'll find any ones that you dont already know about... since i started using tb in about 2001 when i moved from outlook i havent looked around coz i was happy with what i had [04:46] JC: how are you connecting it to your TV? what type of cable? [04:46] Izinucs: roger. don't know if that will be supported by one of the open source driver in Lucid or not [04:46] alright, fresh install of 10.04 64 in a vbox vm (Vbox 3.2.0), last 4 lines: gar.pastebin.com/m7VAFmaC are intresting [04:47] gartral, edbian missed your question in the flood of messages, sorry. I've got your standard vga monitor cable, I can get much higher res if I connect it to a monitor [04:47] naz: hehe, its sad there arent many alternatives by way of email clients [04:47] Captaintrek, same as above. [04:47] onetinsoldier: oh well.. at least I've got a backup Nvidia agp card lying around here.. [04:47] Razion: it should be in apt, sudo apt-get install padsp [04:47] JC: hrm... again, check your drivers [04:47] JC, Because your video card supports a high resolution on your monitor using the same connection it is clear that either it is probing the TV and getting bad info or the TV really does support only 800x600 res [04:47] gartral, captaintrek, and edbian, accoding to the "hardware drivers" app, "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." [04:48] Docteh: Couldn't find the package. [04:48] The TV is HD, I've been playing my 360 in HD for years. [04:48] JC: ok, do a lspci | grep VGA [04:48] Docteh: You using 10.04 as well? [04:48] JC, But the driver for the card is fine. You're not connecting the TV and monitor at the same time are you? [04:49] i dont have it booted right now, hit up packages.ubuntu.com and use the second search box where it looks for files [04:49] edbian: i think i might have a solution for him either way, but i need to know if it's a Intel GMA card or not [04:49] Gartral, response from lspci is 00:01.0 VGA compatable controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) [04:49] ohh crap [04:49] gartral, k [04:49] gartral, ha ha ha [04:49] edbian, no, not at the same time. I have one video output. [04:50] gartral, yeah it's onboard. not the best lol. [04:50] deadmaus email isn't sexy any more... people are too busy coding facebook apps and equally pointless things [04:51] deadmaus there's always opera i guess [04:51] gartral, edbian, captaintrek, any ideas? === dan_ is now known as dan2 [04:52] JC: [not just that.. ATI Rage cards have crap for support in linux] OOOOOK... this is the "hard" way: connect to tv and start a console, do randr 1920x1080x0x0 (I think, if that fails, reverse the first two figures) and see if that helps [04:52] JC: What connection / cable are you using to connect your computer to the TV? [04:52] Jordan_U, VGA [04:52] Jordan_U, He just told me [04:52] Jordan_U: VGA [04:52] Jordan_U: you're behind. he's using typical VGA [04:52] ha ha [04:52] Jordan_U, Did you get that? [04:52] "randr"? [04:52] xrandr [04:53] ? [04:53] Docteh: Resize AND Rotate [04:53] gartral, apparently randr isn't a command [04:53] theres an xrandr, dunno about just randr [04:53] JC: sorry, xrandr [04:54] it gives me a very big amount of crap [04:54] what do I do now [04:54] Razion: pulseaudio-utils [04:55] JC: pastebin said "crap" for analasis [04:55] kk [04:55] !pastebin | JC [04:55] JC: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

I'm running 9.04, i have the binutils package installed. does anyone know how i can run or where i can find 'gas' (GNU Assembler)? [04:56] codebrainz: do a search on packages.ubuntu.com [04:56] alright, fresh install of 10.04 64 in a vbox vm (Vbox 3.2.0), last 4 lines: gar.pastebin.com/m7VAFmaC are intresting [04:56] mzuverink: try this tool, but i think it still takes a fair amount of work. there is a gui though. note: i've never tried it myself --> http://geekconnection.org/remastersys/index.html [04:56] paste.ubuntu.com/442586 [04:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/443586 [04:56] sorry.

I have an Acer 4540 laptop, sound works well, but recording doesnt [04:58] Docteh, no dice, nothing useful returned in the package search, except for http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/binutils [04:58] mzuverink: sure. you're welcome. here is where it looks like you can download it --> http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/repository/ubuntu/ [04:58] codebrainz: it might not be in 9.04 [04:58] drknzz, what program are you using to record, and are you using an interface? [04:58] JC, neither skype nor arecord nor gnome-sound-recorder :S [04:59] drknzz: what about sox? [04:59] drknzz, what are you trying to record? [04:59] JC, uhmmmm, my voice? :D [04:59] hey all quick question i just re-built my array but forgot one drive.. so i did mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[b-d]1 but now i want to add sde1 into the existing array.. any ideas? [04:59] gartral, sox? ill apt-url it [04:59] drknzz, oh ok, so you're just going to use it to talk, not record music, I was gonna say. [05:00] codebrainz: also you can have it search the distro you're using, good for when they shuffle packages around for fun [05:00] !sox | drknzz [05:00] JC :D [05:00] disk1of5: what type of raid is it [05:00] Docteh, raid5 [05:00] drknzz, you may need to check your audio settings, what comes up for the input driver? [05:00] Question, freenas or ubuntu server? [05:00] !nifo sox | drknzz [05:00] on a laptop with an intel i3 processor, should i be installing the 64 bit or the 32 bit version of ubuntu? [05:00] !info sox | drknzz [05:00] drknzz: sox (source: sox): Swiss army knife of sound processing. In component universe, is optional. Version 14.3.0-1.1build1 (lucid), package size 88 kB, installed size 216 kB [05:00] Docteh, i know i don't need it but its set up as a spare [05:00] gartral, any luck from the pastebin? [05:00] mzuverink: well, i just downloaded it an noticed a problem. it wants to uninstall grub-pc. so it might not be any good for use in Lucid 10.04 [05:01] onetinsoldier, I found a utiliitty in ubuntu to do it, in admin, called create startup disk [05:01] JC: lastlog my posts, i said what to do [05:01] JC, internal audio and ATi HD4200 HDMI [05:01] disk1of5: i think you can add it as a spare and then tell mdadm you want to add a drive to the amount thats required [05:01] mzuverink: roger. good deal === dad_ is now known as Guest1132 [05:02] drknzz, assuming this is all integrated? sometimes the HDMI driver takes control over the whole sound system. [05:03] JC, i dont know man :s, never messed around with ALSA a lot b4 [05:03] Docteh, it shows it's supposed to be in the binutils package for karmic and lucid, i have 9.10 whichever that is. [05:03] gartral, I don't see it, You told me to xrandr and to pastebin, so I did, I see nothing to do in between that and what I said [05:03] mzuverink: i misread your original question. my bad. use the utility you found, or, you can use 'unetbootin'. it does the same thing too [05:03] !karmic [05:03] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 [05:03] JC: oops ok xrandr -s 1920x1080x0x0 [05:03] onetinsoldier, thanks though, someone told me there was a utility, I just did not think it was that, I was wrong! [05:03] drknzz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=DebuggingSoundProblems [05:04] JC: did you get it that time? [05:04] can anyone recommend a website/book to learn about linux kernel? [05:04] codebrainz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gas&mode=exactfilename&suite=karmic&arch=any i just see it listing something in a doc directory vs a bin directory [05:04] thamz: what are you looking to learn? [05:05] gartral it says that size isn't available. [05:05] Docteh, yea, that's how it is on my fs as well. wtf!? the gnu assembly is a pretty fundamental piece of software, i must be missing something [05:05] Docteh, thnx! [05:06] dr4c4n, I just want to get some understanding of how the kernel works, the directory structure of linux, etc [05:06] codebrainz: it's in binutils as /usr/bin/as [05:07] codebrainz: no g :) [05:07] gartral, neither are 1280 and 1024 (and their respective wides) [05:07] ohhhhhhhhh [05:07] rww, bless you! i normally use nasm [05:07] with a monitor this thing reaches 1440 [05:07] JC: sudo apt-get install grandr and that will give you a gui for xrandr [05:08] thamz: in general o'reilly books are pretty good [05:08] uhh could someone help me out with accessing networks using ubuntu? ive spent the past two days trying to get the laptop to connect to the internet. I have a Compaq Presario V5304US and i have ndiswrapper installed. [05:08] why does it say "not recommended for daily desktop usage" for the 64 bit version on http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download? [05:08] Ebuntu, ah yes, wifi with laptops. TONS of fun. what's you're wifi adapter called (you can see the driver in windows) [05:08] dr4c4n, thanks, i'll try [05:09] deadmaus: cause the 64bit ubuntu has problems [05:09] rww, aparently it used to be called gas, cuz this makefile insists! :) thanks [05:09] I use 64 bit daily and haven't run into any problems, nothing major anyway [05:09] gartral: oh. i have a intel i3 processor. should i just install the 32 bit version? [05:09] gartral, accomplished, the only available modes are lower than 800x600 [05:09] deadmaus: depends, what did you need this computer for? [05:10] deadmaus, also how much ram you have, if you don't have a shit ton you don't really need 64 bit [05:10] gartral: its a laptop. use it for internet - browser, email client, music, openoffice, etc etc [05:10] JC: not a lot. 4gb, on a laptop [05:10] deadmaus: 32bit [05:11] gartral: ok, i'll go for the 32bit then [05:11] thamz: there's also [05:11] lxr.linux.no and kernelbook.sourceforge.net, just a google search brought those two up [05:11] has anyone ever heard of the ubuntu installer saying something like "unable to install bootloader on this partition, please select a different partition"? [05:12] JC: you'll have to make a new mode.. i suggest reading man xrandr [05:12] deadmaus, Pros and cons [05:12] A common misconception is that 64-bit architectures are no better than 32-bit architectures unless the computer has more than 4 GB of main memory. This is not entirely true: [05:12] System architecture on Intel x86/32-bit architecture limits virtual memory space to 3 GB, not 4 GB, due to much of the 3–4 GB region being reserved for hardware addressing; see 3 GB barrier. This is not present in 64-bit architectures, which can use 4 GB of memory and more. However x86 processors from the Pentium II onwards allow for a 36-bit physical memory address space, using Physical Address Extension, which gives a 64 GB physical address r [05:12] of which up to 62 GB may be used by main memory. [05:12] JC: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:12] can i type something into terminal to find out what type of adapter is in the laptop? [05:13] deadmaus , read this. Pros and cons of 32 vs 64 http://paste.ubuntu.com/442590/ [05:13] Mertz`: No, and Ubuntu's installer shouldn't be installing grub to partitions in the first place. Are you doing a guided or advanced install? What is the exact error message? [05:13] JC: thanks [05:13] Ebuntu, yeah, type lspci [05:13] Jordan_U: I'ts the guided, I'm working on redoing it so I can get the exact message [05:13] wow long [05:13] gartral, i'll give it a try thanks [05:13] Is it inappropriate to ask Apache questions here (new 10.04 install)? I don't want to be pushing questions in the wrong area (I'm fearing this might be a bit of a trolling message). [05:13] can anyone help me figure out how to get rid of some of my osd notifications? [05:13] dr4c4n, thanks for the info, i'll check them :) [05:14] davidm__: worst we'll do is tell you to bug #apache ;) [05:14] 64-bit code is more efficient than 32-bit code [05:14] I have never IRC chatted before [05:14] Docteh: Ha - there's on one over there anyway :-) [05:14] hwinfo (or hwinv?) is a neat tool [05:15] 1 hr before the iso downloads :( [05:15] Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [05:15] deadmaus, watch an episode of The Fringe, it'll take an hour. [05:15] thamz: yw [05:15] JC: :) [05:16] deadmaus, it takes like 10 minutes with the torrent, if you inet is decent [05:16] Ebuntu, mmm. broadcom. these are always fun. [05:16] Edbuntu, hold on a second, I'll get you a link [05:16] ok [05:16] codebrainz: yeah, using a torrent. net's not fast.. about 1.5mbps [05:16] im building a ubuntu custom live cd for school through remastersys [05:17] deadmaus, ah. not sure what i have, but it was going at around 1000kbps [05:17] wow [05:17] I'm trying to get /home/USER/public_html to work and having no luck. Used the a2enmod to add 'userdir', chmod -R 777 /public_html and still getting 'you don't have permission'. Any ideas/sites-to-look-at? [05:17] collectek: i've been reading about that a little. looks fairly involved [05:17] deadmaus, it's just run-of-the-mill cable internet [05:17] whats the command to edit the gnome menu? gnome-menu [05:17] running lucid 64bit are there any printer drivers for canon/brother/HP/other where you dont have to install the 32bit libs? [05:17] RoDiMuS-X: alacarte [05:18] thanks rww [05:18] edbuntu, in the terminal, type (with no quotes) " sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" [05:18] davidm__: check /home and /home/you for an execute bit, like: chmod a+x ~ [05:18] collectek, it's not that difficult, tons and tons and tons of tutorials on the net. best one is in the ubuntu site [05:19] onenetinsoldier: nope very simple after you add the repo [05:19] edbuntu, or search for "bcm43xx-fwcutter" in the package manager. if all else fails, use this with ndiswrapper, it's an old tutorial, but still relevant. Wifi with a lot of laptops using broadcom has been a major pain in the ass for a lot of us. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=285809 [05:19] collectek: hmm, ok. cool :-) [05:19] JC, could you link me to a .deb package? im on a PC at the moment [05:20] Ebuntu: packages.ubuntu.com is quite handy for that [05:20] ill look there [05:20] +very customizable for ciriculum work [05:20] JC, Ebuntu: It's called b43-fwcutter, and you need Internet access to install it because it asks to download firmware. [05:21] hi all [05:22] does anyone know how to install adobe flash?? [05:22] i [05:22] im back [05:22] rww, ebuntu, I'm aware of the program, I assumed there was an ability to connect LAN to the router in Ubuntu, not the best assumption though , sorry [05:22] mikey_ : http://www.adobe.com [05:22] doesd any one know how to install adobe flash in ubentu? [05:23] mikey_, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ [05:23] i wen tthere but its not owrking [05:23] mikey_: install the 'flashplugin-installer' package [05:23] Hey GSF1200S, How's it goin'? [05:23] official site has it as well [05:23] mikey, are you trying to use firefox? when you go to youtube or something it'll say you're missing plugins, then it'll install them [05:23] yep [05:24] i tried that too [05:24] what bappens? [05:24] probelm is im trying to webcam on cam 4 and you need flash lol [05:24] or java? [05:24] jav installed ok [05:26] So guys [05:26] does a site like youtube come up ok or what are the steps taken to knstall flash? [05:26] any errors? [05:26] youtube.com [05:26] oops lol [05:26] hi all i have questions concerning the use of UUID in ubuntu for fstab [05:27] I've got Ubuntu installed and everything but, sometimes when I tell it to shutdown it won't shutdown properly. Sometimes I have to force a shutdown or restart through the terminal for it to do it properly. ANd sometimes when I come back, my sound doesn't work and it says theres a "Dummy" output or something...... [05:27] this UUID is different for any distro i install on my computer, so I think this UUID have nothing universal [05:27] i get an error ooccured please try later [05:27] and that /dev/sd* was MUCH more universal than this UUID system [05:27] so I wonder why ubuntu use this false universal identifier ? [05:28] ne0futur, i think it's unique to the system/bus/disk [05:28] well, i'm gonna head out guys. My sound issue is gonna be fixed by a new sound card, and my video issue I figured out is on the TV's end, I have to call the support line tomorrow at samsung. Thanks to anyone who tried to help, and I hope I helped some of you! Goodnight all. [05:28] so if I have 2 ubuntu on my diskm i cant chroot from 1 ubuntu to the other cause they have different UUID ? [05:28] An example of the odd behavior is when it shuts down, it will freeze on the 3rd dot of the ubuntu logo when it shutsdown [05:28] this UUID system in fstab will create much more problems than it is useful [05:28] (This is Lucid Linux btw) [05:29] *****WHEN I GO TO YOU TUBE SAYS AN ERROR ACCOURED AND DOESNT GIVE ME OPTION TO INSTALL ADOBE [05:29] mikey_: what browser you using? [05:29] ne0futur, i don't think that would make any difference, /etc/fstab isn't used during a chroot afaik [05:29] you must install ubuntu manually [05:29] euh flash sorry [05:29] mickey_ : if that is happening on an install of flash i would say try to run it in terminal so you can see the exact error [05:30] I know this is #ubuntu, but I'm just curious about gmail because I've been having on/off problems with it for a week or so, ever since upgrade to lucid. is that a coincidence or are others having problems too. anyone with a gmail account, can you connect right now? [05:30] HOW DO I RUN IN TERMANL? [05:30] Anybody have any clue whats going on here? Maybe I need to re-install Ubuntu? [05:30] ne0futur, the whole point is that you can move disks around and such and it'll always use the correct drive for that install, rather than using the /dev/sd* which change depending on where the disk is plugged in/configured [05:30] mikey_: turn caps off. [05:30] sudo apt-get install flashplayer-plugin [05:30] pat5star: yeah no problems, have you tried cleaning out your cookies and cache [05:30] mikey_, [05:30] RoDiMuS-X: yes, and thanks [05:31] how do i copie n pasdte that [05:31] in a terminal :) [05:31] pat5star: I am using Chrome so i dont know about firefox [05:31] Sooo codebrainz...FyreFoX...ricqles...RoDiMuS-X any ideas? [05:31] codebrainz: installing 2 ubuntu on the same disk will give 2 different UUID for the SAME partition ! [05:32] this is mad [05:32] E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-plugin [05:32] I'm using firefox and I do have quite a few google labs enabled so I'm wondering where to begin troubleshooting this. it would be so much easier if you all just told me none of you can connect right now either ;) [05:32] i use both [05:32] and have nothing universal [05:32] any idea? [05:32] eading package lists... Done [05:32] Building dependency tree [05:32] Reading state information... Done [05:32] E: Couldn't find package flashplayer-plugin [05:32] mikey@ubuntu:~$ [05:32] mikey_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:32] pat5star: see if it happens in another browser first just my opinion [05:32] and breaks many things that were working before, like chrooting fron one ubuntu instance to another [05:32] pat5star: install some other browser and check it like that is what i'd do [05:32] ne0futur, it works pretty well actually. if you'd rather, you can replace UUID= with LABEL= and use the volume label [05:33] Semperfi30: perhaps hardware. did you have a previous ubuntu on that harwdare? [05:33] chromium-browser for instance, might have to force the default back to firefox afterwards though [05:33] mikey_: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer [05:33] I had 9.04 [05:33] but I erased the partition [05:33] oh your sources.list not fully configured [05:33] Semperfl30, so you installed 10.04 fresh [05:33] ne0futur, i don't think /etc/fstab is parsed during a chroot, unless you mount -a i suppose [05:33] i'm sorry i must go on my job [05:33] FyreFoX: I also checked my sound cards "Realtek" with the listing on Ubuntu Wiki and it checks out as working OOB normally [05:34] RoDiMuS-X: just tried with konqueror, same error: The requested URL "/mail/", is invalid. [05:34] RoDiMuS-X: Yes I installed it over 9.04 due to the fact that I couldn't locate the Sudo password [05:34] Basically a fresh install by erasing the previous partition and installing Lucid fresh [05:34] have a good day and search for add lines for adobe container in your source.list [05:34] there are thousands of people having problems wit this _not_ _universal_ UUID system [05:35] I just wanted to say this [05:35] Semperfi30, hmm are you sure the previous partition was erased and not just installed on top of, i did that once [05:35] hey I got a problem with docky , says it requires 'composting' to work properly [05:35] I ll fond workarounds , but the best workaround will be to find a distro not using the UUID system in fstab . . . [05:35] Yes because in Gparted I told it to format the partition [05:35] pat5star: hmm thats weird [05:35] Although i will say when I boot into GRUB it shows two different Ubuntu installatiosn however I don't see how that would influence anything as I pick the first one everytime [05:36] Semperfi30, what kernel are you using the 21 or 22 [05:36] How do I know (FYI I'm on Windows atm) [05:36] bricky: activate compiz, metacity compositing, or another compositor, then [05:36] boa noite [05:36] ne0futur, what exactly is your problem? it's universally unique on your system, and allows you to shuffle around drives without having to touch /etc/fstab. it's really a nice feature [05:37] still get error in you tube! [05:37] good night for all [05:37] rw: okay. [05:37] Semperfi30, open a terminal and type uname -a [05:37] RoDiMuS-X: you don't know the half of it lol. It's been working fine all day and just a few minutes ago this came up. It's been happening off and on a ~week. If I just wait, it'll start working again, but it could be a few minutes to an hour or so :( [05:37] good night all [05:37] I hear I just have to do 'compiz --replace' to make it start automatically?? [05:37] mikey_: try restarting firefox now that you've installed flash [05:38] bricky: worst it'd do is come back with "bloopity bloop thats not right" [05:38] pat5star: i would try the html version and see if that gives you the same error [05:38] ok let me try [05:38] RoDiMuS-X: what is the url? [05:38] Docteh : lol [05:38] I'm back [05:38] is there a better way? [05:38] wb Semperfi40 [05:38] RoDiMuS-X: Did you get my last message I got disconnected. [05:38] still same error an error has occured [05:39] mikey_: i don't know then === james0 is now known as Entrope [05:39] bricky: theres an option under setttings somewhere, but I'm not so good with guis [05:39] hi, I'm noticing that network manager isn't being restarted when I suspend my laptop. Which package has the script to restore NetworkManager in pm-utils? [05:39] pat5star, i can't click the link the page loads too fast let me see [05:39] Dotech: :) [05:39] docteh :P [05:39] mikey_: maybe someone else will have an idea of what's wrong [05:39] does anyone know? [05:39] RoDiMuS-X: lol, nice problem to have :) [05:40] Semperfi30, Yeah I got it, when your in ubuntu, open a terminal window and type uname -a [05:40] mikey_, the flash thing? [05:40] how can you not be good with gui, lmao :P [05:40] RoDiMuS-X: I live in a very remote area and connect via satellite, so I suppose my problem could be there too [05:40] Semperfi30, 2.6.32-22-generic is what kernel i am using [05:40] yes [05:40] driving me nuts! [05:40] pat5star, DNS problem possibly [05:40] RoDiMuS-X: but with satellite, a page loading too fast is seldom an issue ;) [05:40] RoDiMuS-X: I run my own DNS server [05:40] bricky: i always have to poke around a bit to find options, every. single. time. [05:41] lol [05:41] pat5star, that could be your problem lol [05:41] mikey_, you can try to install it manually, extract the libflashplayer.so file and put it all of the many mozilla/chrome folders, google for where they are (ie. ~/.mozilla is one i think). then restart your browser [05:41] try windows 7 control panel, drove me instane [05:41] insane* [05:41] well you can search it now [05:41] RoDiMuS-X: lol I've tested that already, and changed my resolv.conf to try other dns servers and still have same problem too [05:41] mickey_: if it was me i would run the adobe . deb and uninstall flash.... reboot the pc and then run the aptitude install [05:42] where do i get the file? [05:42] pat5star, here is the basic page for gmail http://mail.google.com/mail?nocheckbrowser [05:42] RoDiMuS-X: cool ty...I'll try that now\ [05:43] pat5star, if that doesn't work might have another one [05:43] from the adobe website. lets see if i can pull an address with my ipod lol [05:43] mikey_, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ [05:43] RoDiMuS-X: Maybe I should just re-install ubuntu again...Is there some diagnostic program I can run to figure out whats causing these issues I'm having? [05:43] ty [05:43] RoDiMuS-X: The requested URL "/mail?nocheckbrowser", is invalid. :( [05:43] hey, when I start a vid via dbl click, my whole screen goes black before totem starts? [05:43] mikey_, get the .tar.gz one and extract the .so from it [05:43] pat5star, do you get the gmail login screen? [05:43] anyone familiar with Back Track 4 ? [05:43] linux? [05:43] !derivatives | demititan [05:44] demititan: 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) [05:44] mikey_, ummm yes :) [05:44] demititan: a little [05:44] Semperfi40, if you type dmesg you can see your boot up logs [05:44] lol [05:44] RoDiMuS-X: when I check my dns: mail.google.com has address 72.246.43.83, mail.google.com is an alias for googlemail.l.google.com. [05:44] pat5star, let me check mine [05:44] RoDiMuS-X: nope I don't get anything but that error message [05:44] pat5star: This is the proper link: http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&nobrowsercheck=1 [05:45] mikey_, i think /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ is the system-wide directory [05:45] why are you posting a google mail link? [05:45] Semperfi40: ty, but it gives me this: The requested URL "/mail/?ui=2&nobrowsercheck=1", is invalid. [05:45] Is it because of your location? [05:45] pat5star, I have 5 ip address's, here is one 72.14.204.19 [05:45] Is there a way to force ubuntu 10.4 to use a specific screen resolution? [05:46] You're located in Sweden sooo maybe that has something to do with it [05:46] Idk :P [05:46] JC, so i followed the tutorial and when i go to system>administration>network, nothing happens [05:46] back track 4 [05:46] I'm running 10.04 kernel 2.6.34 on a Thinkpad T60 with a Radeon X1400 and having video flickering and little grey horizontal lines occasionally running across the screen. Is this a driver issue? Is fglrx any better than radeon? [05:46] how do i join backtrack support in #backtrack- linux [05:46] RoDiMuS-X: that brings me to the google search page, and when I try to follow the link to gmail from there, I get same error :( [05:46] it wont let me extract it [05:46] randerzander, sounds like the wrong frequency for the display, just a guess [05:47] randerzander: did you try plugging in another monitor? [05:47] I want to throttle my CPU fan up at about 3000 RPM ... how can i do this? Desktop/ASUS MB/AMD CPU/ Ubuntu Karmic [05:47] anyone have any idea how i can prevent ubuntu from turning off my monitor when i close my laptop lid, currently i'm piggypacking off my HDMI port but if i close the lid the monitor turns off. [05:47] pat5star, so i have in my DNS Table 17,18,19 and 83 [05:47] randerzander: like plugging another computer monitor to the serial output of laptop [05:47] mikey_, tar xvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz [05:47] this is driving me bonkers. [05:47] pat5star, thats all the ending ip address's [05:47] Is there another Support Channel for Ubuntu ? [05:47] collectek: i need a little help understanding the basics [05:48] codebrainz, shyam - The problem exists at both frequencies listed in the Display Manager (50 and 60 Hz). VGA monitors do not experience the flickering.. just the LCD on the Thinkpad [05:48] Semperfi40, I believe so [05:48] randerzander: i just replaced my LCD panel on similar grounds:( [05:48] RoDiMuS-X: Well [05:48] RoDiMuS-X: I'm beginning to think this isn't a ubuntu, dns, browser, etc. issue at all but probably something to do with my stupid satellite isp === administrator is now known as Guest49645 [05:49] pat5star like I said something to do with your location [05:49] randerzander: in fact , i replaced it twice within a week..:) (second one obviously was free as it had warranty:)) [05:49] Semperfi40, try #ubuntu-dev or #omg!ubuntu! [05:49] demititan, try and find the manual for the lcd display and use those frequencies [05:49] Thanks [05:49] pat5star, yeah I am leaning towards ISP [05:49] Semperfi40: oh I didn't realize you were talking to me. I saw your post, something about Sweden. Actually I'm in Canada, northern Ontario [05:49] how do i activate my wireless card? === Entrope is now known as james0 === james0 is now known as Entrope [05:50] pat5star, like sudbury? [05:50] shyam - it seems to be an intermittent issue though.. occasionally connecting a monitor or swapping the refresh rate from 60 to 50 and back to 60 will fix the problem [05:50] randerzander: oh another important quesiton. does bios screen has that problem? [05:50] The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct. [05:50] pat5star you IP address says you are located in Sweden [05:50] codebrainz: nope, farther north. I'm just north west of kapuskasing [05:50] ould not download all repository indexes [05:50] and I typed your name so when I message you my text comes up in Red which means I'm talking to you [05:50] when I type your name I'm talking to you obviously [05:50] randerzander: in my case, bios too had the problem, so it was evident for me as a hardware failure [05:50] :P [05:50] thanks Codebrainz [05:51] can anyone help me out with activating my wireless card? [05:51] Semperfi40: I don't know why that is, weird [05:51] some terminal command? [05:51] shyam - no. it seems to occur more frequently under load (when I have a monitor attached, for instance). Only occasionally when the card is only driving the LCD [05:51] randerzander: hmm.. [05:52] Semperfi40, add 'apm power_off=1' to /etc/modules then reboot [05:52] ebuntu has wireless worked in ubuntu before? do you see it detected in lshw? have you tried to install it under hardware drivers? [05:52] pat5star, your using a Swedan freenode server your ip is reporting canada [05:52] Semperfi40: what's the issue? [05:52] micahg: Hmm? [05:53] codebrainz: what is this in refrence to ? [05:53] Semperfi40: you just asked about something in -devel? [05:53] pat5star, I am using an OR server but I am located in PA [05:53] micahg: Oh [05:53] Semperfi40, problem shutting down and with sound? I might be mistaken, maybe got the wrong handle [05:53] anyone familiar wit back track? [05:53] holocene, it can see it, but it says "NETWORK DISABLED" [05:54] backtrack 4 in particular [05:54] ebuntu is this a laptop? === barna_ is now known as barna [05:54] RoDiMuS-X & Semperfi40: thanks for your help...I'm going to do some more experimenting, I'm going to see if I can borrow a friends server to tunnel a connection through and see if it works then. That should tell me if it is an ISP problem I think [05:54] codebrainz: My system will sometimes freeze on the ubuntu logo, and sometimes when I restart I won't have any sound, and sometimes when I shutdown or restart via the GUI nothing will happen OR it will boot me back to a login screen. [05:54] holocene: yes [05:54] has it worked before? [05:54] pat5star, cool good luck man [05:54] RoDiMuS-X: ty :) [05:54] it has worked under windows [05:55] micahg: Hopefully you got that too I meant to put your name on there as well. [05:55] Semperfi40, so try what i said up there ^^ [05:55] ebuntu had the same fricking thing myself. not sure of the official fix, but I just closed the laptop and opened it back up. it is a hibernation/suspend issue. [05:55] anyone want a really cool weather app? it was tough as nails to get it compiled, but i got it! and now i have .debs of it :) [05:55] how can I see how much disk I've used in command line? [05:55] duckwars: df -H [05:55] duckwars: df -h [05:55] Semperfi40: sorry, I don't know anything about that, but it's the tail end of a holiday weekend in US & UK, there should be more people in 3-9 hours [05:56] ebuntu go to the ubuntu forums and search. [05:56] codebrainz: Can you tell me specifically what that will do. So I can learn. So if this fixes my problem and I find someone else that has the same issue I will know what I'm talking about . [05:56] onetinsoldier: personal PPA :) [05:56] thanks guys [05:56] micahg: I live on the Eastcoast I just got off work at Midnight === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [05:56] Semperfi40, I am on the east coast and I got off at 11pm [05:56] RoDiMuS-X: Thats nice to know [05:56] :P [05:57] IdleOne: yeah. roger that. i need to figure out how to really make proper package of it. i just used checkinstall. but man, i'd sure like to have someone else check it out :-) [05:57] Semperfi40, your not alone, and I support Windows XP all day and I hate windows [05:58] RoDiMuS-X: Support as in thats your job? And I love Windows. I just have Ubuntu for when I need to just get on the internet quickly or check something really quick then get off [05:58] hello everyone [05:58] i would like sum help from sum1 [05:58] is anyone out ther who can helpme [05:58] just ask [05:59] Semperfi40, Yeah I work the help desk fixing peoples issues and adminstrating Active Directory [05:59] coebrainz: " add 'apm power_off=1' to /etc/modules then reboot" how do I do this [05:59] Does anyone use a Compaq610 and experiencing heat issues with ubuntu 10.04 [05:59] codebrainz: adding it to yada yada directory [06:00] with win7 my laptop is ice cold.. but with ubuntu 10.04. its hot.. when i mean hot, processors on avg about 44degrees [06:00] ebuntu: what did you find out? [06:00] with win7 its at 40 [06:00] anybody can help me out? [06:01] RoDiMuS-X: Do you know what Codebrainz was talking about? [06:01] inzi1985: what did google say about this laptop and ubuntu? [06:01] inzi1985, mine is reverse win7 is like lava and Ubuntu is cool as ice around 32 got a compaq v6700 [06:02] holocene: it had only wifi issues. [06:02] holocene: wifi doesn't work out of the box, i have to do a kernal update and installation of the drivers. [06:02] Semperfi40, type from the command prompt, sudo gedit /etc/modules [06:02] inzi1985: i've heard of fan problems with ubuntu. [06:02] *kernel [06:03] Semperfi40, then add the line apm power_off=1 [06:03] Semperfi40, then save the file [06:03] holocene: i dun seem to notice any fan problems.. it seems to be working fine.. but.. i have no sensor on this laptop to detect fanspeeds, so i really can't say. [06:03] you might check the forums for overheating or fan issues in general [06:04] RoDiMuS-X: What will that do in reality? [06:04] does your fan stay on forever? [06:04] Semperfi40, then reboot. if it doesn't fixit then remove that line from that file [06:04] Semperfi40, turns off Advanced Power Management [06:04] Alright [06:04] holocene: no no.. fan doesn't stay on for ever.. i dun do anything heavy duty..so fan is fine [06:04] Semperfi40, it gives sets an option to the apm kernel module for when it gets loaded, to turn it off, or power it off or whatever [06:05] odd [06:05] holocene: the processors is ok. but the heat issue is where my left palm rest [06:05] guys im installing windows server 2008 guest machine with KVM, and it asks for drivers when i start installation. Any suggestion what for drivers that are? Cuz on the internet there are no single how to where there is shown anything about additional drivers. [06:05] ayuda en espanol [06:05] Semperfi40, here is the source code if you need more info :) http://enpc3240.eas.asu.edu/lxr/linux/http/source/arch/i386/kernel/apm.c?v=2.6.17.10 [06:05] what component is heating up? [06:05] holocene: i have no idea wats located in that section.. so i cant really say.. i'm new to laptops [06:06] you might check with the vendor support forums [06:06] holocene: thats the thing, i dunno wat component is located there [06:06] codebrainz: Someone asked me what kernel I was running earlier. Why would this be a possible issue? Also they asked if I was positive I had erased my previous installation of Ubuntu. [06:06] holocene: i'll have to chek i guess. [06:06] codebrainz: In relation to my current problem [06:07] holocene: i checked the online manual, and i dun see anything there' [06:07] really? [06:07] holocene: do u think , the vga is heating up coz of compiz? [06:07] Semperfi40, because each kernel version would have different code managing the power stuff possibly, so it might be fixed in a newer one. they probably though you were using your old kernel [06:07] holocene: yah,. that area was not marked [06:07] new laptop? [06:07] holocene: yup new laptop.. else i would have taken it apart [06:08] Semperfi40, at the console type 'uname -r' to see what version is currently running [06:08] hey guys, is there an example somewhere about how to mount a virtual filesystem in ubuntu? i would like to create a mount point and have requests to read and write to it sent to my program [06:08] codebrainz: When I installed Lucid Lynx I told Gparted to format the old partition. However when I boot, I have the ability to pick from two different Ubuntu's effectively though the wording and version numbers are exactly the same... [06:08] giantpune, what language? [06:08] c/c++ [06:08] I hear you on that. Not sure where to go next. [06:09] holocene : is there anyway to switch off compiz temporarily so that i can chk it [06:09] giantpune, it's called FUSE, i think that's what you want, prolly a lib you can use, i bet libfuse it's called [06:09] giantpune: Why do you want to do this? fifos may be a simpler and more robust solution. [06:09] in ubuntu 10.04 in gnome using metacity, it only stays on one windows decoration no matter which one i select or even if i choose a new theme any ideas [06:09] you could boot in single user mode I think. just a console. Not sure though. [06:09] Jordan_U, im mounting an encrypted image and decrypting it with my program. i would like to be able to write to it transparently [06:10] check out rescue mode [06:10] Hey folks. Where can I download Ubuntu 9.10? === deadmaus_ is now known as deadmaus [06:10] holocene: thanks dude.. i shall check it out [06:10] !releases | KungFuBear [06:10] KungFuBear: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [06:10] giantpune: Can you give a higher level explanation of what your program is designed to accomplish? [06:11] ok. sorry I was not more help. [06:11] holocene: i just dont want to use windows [06:11] Why?? [06:11] just kidding. [06:11] giantpune, here's the project http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ [06:12] holocene: alright [06:12] Jordan_U, i am editing wii game ISOs. they are encrypted filesystems on the disc image. right now, i have to open the image and parse the contents in my program. i would like to be able to just use my program to mount the ISO and then be able to drag and drop files to change them with the other programs [06:13] this will let me not have to reinvent the wheel for many functions [06:13] giantpune: Check out the Dolphin emulator API. [06:13] can someone help me with this: [06:13] eric@eric-laptop:~$ network-admin --configure wlan0 [06:13] [WARN 1496] failed to load configuration file: Cannot load PolicyKit policy file at '/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf': No such file or directory [06:13] ** ERROR **: Could not find widget: interfaces_list [06:13] aborting...

[06:15] Ebuntu: Should "network-admin" be run as a normal user, or should it be run as root? [06:16] Sounds like a permissioning problem. Before you just run it as root, check that the file exists "sudo cat /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf | wc -l" [06:16] Just to see how many lines are in it. [06:16] is .profile loaded immediately after logging in? [06:16] If a non-zero number is returning, you can probably safely run "sudo network-admin --configure wlan0" [06:17] uhh [06:17] I'm a noobie with ubuntu [06:17] and [06:17] i'm trying to listen to some music on youtube [06:17] But [06:17] Now sound [06:17] deathnight114: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:17] no* [06:17] I am using vim on Windows via djgpp. I would like to have the same colour scheme for vim syntax highlighting that I have on Ubuntu by default [with background=dark]. How can I do this? [I ask here because I know a lot of you guys are good with ~/.vimrc and things of that nature. VIM should be the same on the two platforms, just seems like defaults are not.] [06:17] !enter | deathnight114 [06:17] deathnight114: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [06:18] deathnight114, you can't type like that here [06:18] lol [06:18] sorry [06:18] Try to keep it to one line [06:18] deathnight114: type "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" [06:18] (In a terminal) [06:18] okay, hold on === Entrope is now known as james0 [06:18] And the flood bots descend upon ye! [06:18] And the lord Linus said "let there be spammers" [06:19] LOL [06:19] umm [06:19] That just makes a really wierd sound... [06:19] Ok, cool. So we know your sound card + speakers are working. [06:19] come out of my monitor [06:19] See my Enter key is just bigger on my keyboard is why I hit it allot [06:19] ;x [06:19] (you can press Ctrl-C to kill that). [06:19] i get a zero :c [06:20] okay [06:20] thanks, it worked [06:20] I am using vim on Windows via djgpp. I would like to have the same colour scheme for vim syntax highlighting that I have on Ubuntu by default [with background=dark]. How can I do this? [I ask here because I know a lot of you guys are good with ~/.vimrc and things of that nature. VIM should be the same on the two platforms, just seems like defaults are not. Just pretend I didn't use the word... [06:20] ..."Windows", I dualboot ;P] [06:20] hello [06:20] Ok, so you running Ubuntu 10.4? [06:20] but, there is still no sound [06:20] 10.04 [06:20] how can I see what program(s) are using the network? [06:20] 1) You sure the youtube volume slider is up? [06:20] I believe i heard a sound come from my speakers on started [06:20] Yes [06:20] Stevethepirate: i get a 0 [06:21] It is, i checked earlier [06:21] Anyone know howto add gnome-panel to RGBA blacklist .profile "export GTK_RGBA_APPS=allbut:gnome-panel" [06:21] I know that windows has a little volume slide thing, but i don't know if ubuntu does [06:21] ravn: Check out man netstat that's the one I know of. [06:21] I tried that, and relogged in, but gnome-panel still has RGBA extentions going" [06:21] Ebuntu: Then the file doesn't exist. HHrrmm, I would try run as root, "network-admin" sounds like a root thing :) [06:21] deathnight114: In a console type "alsamixer" [06:21] ravn, netstat -tp [06:21] ravn: sudo netstat -napt .. notice the ones that have 'ESTABLISHED' .. they are currently active [06:22] AndrewX192: Still stuck with RGBA? :) Unlucky. [06:22] deathnight114: Should be one at the top right. [06:22] Stevethepirate, I have all the effects set [06:22] Stevethepirate: how do i run as root? [06:22] http://i48.tinypic.com/2q8oz80.png [06:22] Take a look at that :P [06:22] !root | Ebuntu [06:22] Ebuntu: 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 [06:22] Pretty sexy desktop, right Stevethepirate? [06:22] * Stevethepirate clicks [06:22] okay [06:22] My internet is slow here in ZA :/ [06:22] ah [06:22] A little screen comes up on the terminal, showing a bunch of bars [06:22] uhoh [06:22] It's actualy mint *hushes* but its based on ubuntu anyways :P [06:22] oO, looks pretty :) Nice. I'm still working on awesome here :/ [06:23] front mi is at 0 [06:23] deathnight114: Those are volume bars, use the up and down arrwos. [06:23] Yeah, you want to push that up. Make sure it has OO and not MM. [06:23] I just need to add gnome-panel to RGBA blacklist and im good :D [06:23] I am using vim on Windows via djgpp. I would like to have the same colour scheme for vim syntax highlighting that I have on Ubuntu by default [with background=dark]. How can I do this? [I ask here because I know a lot of you guys are good with ~/.vimrc and things of that nature. VIM should be the same on the two platforms, just seems like defaults are not. Just pretend I didn't use the word... [06:23] ..."Windows", I dualboot ;P] [06:23] AndrewX192: Which widgets are those? Look amazing ;) [06:23] Stevethepirate, google gadgets :P [06:24] Ahhh, looks like a sleek version of superkaramba :) [06:24] hi all -- wondering if anyone here is running an ATI Radeon 5850-based video card and upgraded from Karmic to Lucid [06:24] Stevethepirate: http://paste.ubuntu.com/442613/ [06:24] Of course it's Google. Google make everything that is good in the world. [06:24] yeah [06:24] Quick question Ebuntu, what are you ACTUALLY wanting to do? [06:24] test test [06:24] I have it so that all the bars are up high, but still no sound [06:24] Now I'm just trying to get coverflow in nautilus and fix this gnome-panel [06:24] deathnight114: Ok, in gnome, on the top bar, System->Sound->Gmix [06:24] Stevethepirate: get on the internet with my laptop [06:25] Yo yo yo [06:25] What is gnome? [06:25] Ebuntu: Ok, so you wanting to use this applet, why not use the built in wireless network applet that comes with ubuntu? [06:25] ActionParsnip: yoyoyo ^_^ [06:25] !gnome | deathnight114 [06:25] deathnight114: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [06:25] I'm a noobie with ubuntu, just installed like, two hours ago [06:25] !gnome | deathnight114 [06:25] What's the syntax for creating/exporting an smb share? I know with nfs you just plop the stuff in /etc/exports but how do I do the same thing with an smb share? [06:26] Stevethepirate: for some reason it doesnt work [06:26] Heh, ok, pretty much, it's the graphical interface you are using. [06:26] how do i access it? [06:26] Ebuntu: Rather than making a new problem, fix the existing one :) [06:26] okay, so i went to system, but i don't see a sound panel [06:26] Extoe: you can use nautilus or /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:26] deathnight114, if your using ubuntu your allready in gnome [06:26] if I have my data partitions in my fstab with ureadahead my system hangs. removing them directly makes it bootable again. should I be moutning them with an upstart script if I want to continue using ureadahead? [06:26] Stevethepirate: ? how? [06:26] extor: mount -t cifs //host/share mountpoint will work, but it's generally easier to use Nautilus or Konqueror or whatnot, unless you have a need for the console [06:26] check this out http://tinypic.com/r/29zy8og/6 [06:26] can i open codeblocks download with archive manager? [06:26] trythil, that's on the client. I want the command for the server [06:26] deathnight114: Windows has the UI and the operating system together. (essentially, don't flame me). In Linux, they are seperate. Gnome is run at startup, and it is what you use to have a user interface that you can use. [06:26] RoDiMuS-X, nice [06:27] Hrrm, I actually don't have gnome running here :/ It should be on of the options on the top. (Someone with Gnome open give this dude a hand quick) [06:27] extor: oh, whoops, misread [06:27] AndrewX192, working on an Android theme [06:27] RoDiMuS-X, nice! [06:27] RoDiMuS-X: Heh, looks nice. [06:27] deathnight114: Look for Sound somewhere under Preferences or System. Probably prefs. [06:27] Deathnight114: you can change desktop environment to whatever you like. Linux is flexible and allows you to change rather than Windows where there is a choice of 1 [06:27] extor: in that case, you can add the share directly to /etc/samba/smb.conf [06:27] Stevethepirate: should i reinstall ubuntu? [06:28] I am using vim on Windows via djgpp. I would like to have the same colour scheme for vim syntax highlighting that I have on Ubuntu by default [with background=dark]. How can I do this? [I ask here because I know a lot of you guys are good with ~/.vimrc and things of that nature. VIM should be the same on the two platforms, just seems like defaults are not. Just pretend I didn't use the word... [06:28] Ebuntu: No! It's probably just a small problem. [06:28] ..."Windows", I dualboot ;P] [06:28] linux, the dev. IDE? i think it's in the repos [06:28] Jon--: #vii [06:28] Jon--: #vim [06:28] Sorry. [06:28] okay [06:28] ide [06:28] linux, apt-get install codeblocks [06:28] so, i still don't see a sound panel when i click on system [06:28] Stevethepirate: I am there, no assistance. The channels been dead. Asked a long time ago. [06:28] Jon--: is there a $HOME/.vimrc file or similar you can copy? [06:28] trythil, so smb.conf is where I would tell it what my pseudo computer-name is and which directories to export as samba shares? [06:28] k thx [06:28] for some wireless problems, it helps to connect via a wired connection then do system - administration -hardware drivers [06:29] !ide | codebrainz [06:29] codebrainz: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [06:29] Jon--: Sorry then :/ I use vi, but haven't needed that before :/ [06:29] extor: yeah. the smb.conf shipped with ubuntu's Samba packages contains a number of examples [06:29] Anways, Macaroni Cheese :) brb. [06:29] oh [06:29] okay [06:29] I found it [06:29] ActionParsnip, wow thanks for that newsflash! /s [06:29] ActionParsnip: Well, my ~/.vimrc doesn't have colour schemes. The issue is set background=dark in Command-Prompt, and Ubuntu. And then enable syntax highlighting and... They're different. I will have to manually configure them to match. How? [06:29] Now, what do i do? [06:29] Extor: yes. There are tonnes of guides. You can also set access rights too [06:29] extor: I'm sure there's an easier way to set it up (nautilus etc come to mind), but if you don't have access to a GUI then the Samba configuration file is the next place I'd go to [06:30] trythil: You just trying to access a samba share? [06:30] ActionParsnip: Not just a little different, Ubuntu has sexy colours with vim, and the vim on Windows is ugly as hell with choice of colours, I cna't live with it. [06:30] hrmm how do I launch this nautilus [06:30] ahh [06:30] Stevethepirate: no, extor's looking to export a share [06:30] okay [06:30] I have gnome running right now [06:30] I got it, thank you!!! [06:30] extor: nautilus is the file manager [06:30] Ahh. It's not trvial afaik. I think there is evne a GUI app for it. [06:30] *it's trivial [06:30] Sigh, it's too early :/ [06:30] Stevethepirate: there is -- you can right-click on folders and pick sharing options from there [06:30] Yeah. [06:31] And that isn't an option here/ [06:31] Jon--: is there a channel specifically for vim. They may know some tricks [06:31] ebuntu if you have a wired connection, connect with that, then do system - administration - hardware drivers [06:31] extor: You open any "folder". Try places - home or something. [06:31] Stevethepirate: I thought it wasn't, but it sounds like extor has access to GNOME [06:31] ActionParsnip: He's been there, just idlers. [06:31] Jon--: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Change_the_color_scheme [06:31] Stevethepirate: so, yeah, going through the file manager is what I'd recommend [06:31] ActionParsnip: I'm in there, asked ages ago, 0 replies, in fact, 0 messages in channel in about an hour. That's why I am here ;P [06:31] Yeah. [06:31] Stevethepirate: gah! [06:31] Jon--, and then right click on it? [06:31] Jon--, can you not just copy the vimrc file to the other system? [06:31] hey is there any way to ajust your video card settings by chance [06:31] holocene: ok brb [06:31] ActionParsnip: The wonders of IRC ^^. [06:32] extor: Just left click. Nautilus is like Windows Explorer, it just lets you see folders and files and stuff. [06:32] Stevethepirate: nature of the beast [06:32] codebrainz: My .vimrc does not use custom colours. The defaults on Ubuntu and Windows must be different and I don't know where to find. [06:32] also, broadcast for help: if anyone went from Karmic to Lucid and is experiencing significantly degraded 2D performance with an ATI video card, I'd very much like to talk with you :) === pantsd_h` is now known as pantsd_home` [06:32] Jon--, left click does nothing. Right click brought up a context menu where I see "share" [06:33] "Sharing Options" rather [06:33] extor: yeah, that share option is what you want [06:33] Trythil: remove then reinstall the driver, sometimes video drivers don't survive the upgrade [06:33] extor: Out of curiosity, try this. Press alt+f2, and run "nautilus" [no quotes]. Does anything happen? [06:33] Hey does anyone know if there is an FL Studio alternative for ubuntu [06:33] Deathnight114: lmms [06:33] Jon--, what about the system-wide one under /etc/vim/* [06:33] ActionParsnip: I removed/reinstalled fglrx; dmesg and glxinfo report latest Catalyst driver installed [06:33] lmms? [06:33] Jon--, errr I cannot run a gnome app in the console [06:33] ActionParsnip: however, 2D performance is still junk, and I'm not quite sure what else to poke at [06:33] It's just going to crash [06:34] extor: Then do it from terminal. :P My bad. [06:34] i can't remember if i installed ubuntu as a 32 bit or 64 bit os how would i know? [06:34] Trythil: that's all I got. I avoid ati like paris hilton avoids talent [06:34] ActionParsnip: hah [06:34] So what will my samba name be [06:34] codebrainz: I have not looked there yet. Does that contain the syntax highlighting colours? [06:34] linux, i think uname -m will tell you [06:34] linux: uname -a it will have x64 near the end [06:34] Linux: uname -a ,if you see i686 its 32bit, if you see x86_64 its 64bit [06:35] Does anyone know how to fix this login error "could not update iceauthority" [06:35] Are older versions of ubuntu more secure? [06:35] ActionParsnip, what is lmms? [06:35] Jon--, presumably it's the default/global configuration file overriden by your personal ~/.vimrc file. i don't use vim, but that's the way it usually works [06:35] It just happened out of the blue [06:35] goddard: more secure or more stable [06:35] i686 came up so 32 bit [06:35] Jericom: boot to root recovery mode and run: cd /home; chmod -R foo ./foo ,assuming your username is foo [06:36] goddard: not really -- how secure your system is depends much more on what you choose to run and how vigilant you are about it [06:36] Deathnight114: an alternative to frootyloops [06:36] Does anyone have any experience with setting up vpns? [06:36] jericom: check the forums. [06:36] ahh [06:36] goddard: In some sense, perhaps, but with Ubuntu, the packages are always updating. It's not like old versions keep "safe" packages. If you want security, then try some sort of minimalistic install, like Ubuntu server and install what you need. I'd recommend 10.04, it's very stable. [06:36] okay [06:36] goddard: that said, older versions of Ubuntu don't necessarily get the latest and greatest, e.g. ejabberd in the last LTS hasn't seen any updates for a long time [06:36] Deathnight114: like you asked for...right? [06:36] goddard: and often package updates include security fixes [06:37] !latest | goddard [06:37] goddard: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. [06:37] ahh [06:37] hi, i have an ubuntu server and XP clients . i know that 192.168.0.60 is taking all our bandwidth, how can i find out who he is ? like the machine name [06:37] okay [06:37] codebrainz: I'll check it out lat--- right now. Haha.ext2explore.exe you are my friend. =D [06:37] jericom: that was a problem for people who encrypted home directory. http://ubuntuforums.org/ or launchpad will have into [06:37] At some point security holes would be fixed right? [06:37] holocene: it says your computer is using no propeitary drivers [06:37] K1_: ssh onto the system and run ntop ;) [06:37] So why update an OS further? [06:37] goddard: because more security problems may be discovered [06:38] ebuntu: odd. [06:38] ActionParsnip, from ubuntu run ntop ? [06:38] Ubuntu is always introducing new software wont they just lead to more issues? [06:38] Goddard: new features. Security in any OS will never be 100% [06:38] holocene: I didnt encrypt the home directory, well anything [06:38] K1_: from the ssh session on the offending system [06:38] you choose an option on install. you sure? [06:38] goddard: The LTS releases are generally the most stable. Since the latest Ubuntu is LTS, I'd go with it. [06:38] Yes completely [06:39] how old is install? [06:39] holocene: got any suggestions? [06:39] Anyone here familiar with "nitrogen", [not the gas :-), the program ] [06:39] !info nitrogen [06:39] nitrogen (source: nitrogen): wallpaper browser and changing utility for X. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.5.1-1 (lucid), package size 167 kB, installed size 500 kB [06:39] ebuntu sorry. I would find out if wlan card is supported. [06:39] Since 10.04 released [06:39] I appreciate the answers but I am more asking from a theological stand point not deciding which version I need because I already run 10.04 [06:39] ActionParsnip, most probably the offending system is a windows . would i have to set it up for ssh beforehand? [06:40] did you run ubuntu before that? [06:40] hello everyone [06:40] yeah [06:40] Goddard: lts is good but karmic is more mature [06:40] goddard: If you want the most secure platform, go with a flavour of BSD [06:40] goddard: In general, you sacrifice security for shiny things. [06:41] K1_: then grab another windows system and use terminal services manager in admin tools to remotely manage the system. You can then see the sessions on the pc. You can even message them ;) [06:41] I know how to make my OS completely secure. reach over, pull plug from internet, done :D [06:41] the front audio port is giving any output, im using a desktop....please help?? is it a driver issue?? it works fine on windows [06:41] Did a clean install [06:41] onetinsoldier you cant do that to a server [06:41] Devilina: what windows does is moot to linux [06:41] I got a channel question, Do you recommend upgrade from previous Ubuntu installation or fresh install? [06:41] ActionParsnip, is there no option to do that from ubuntu, basically i just want to know the computer's name [06:41] goddard: i know. it was a little joke [06:42] K1_: nslookup ip.address.of.pc [06:42] lol action..please help..i want to desperately get the front audio jack to work :( [06:42] jericom: ice authority has bugs but I thought they were put to rest in lucid. I would check the forums. [06:42] but when it comes down to it, just about any version of ubuntu is more secure than windows, and i that alone should keep you pretty safe till the amount of windows machines drop lol [06:42] I have the most secure computer of all! A commodore 64 that sits in the corner! [06:42] kl_: nslookup ipaddress [06:42] ActionParsnip, thanks [06:42] goddard: If you want to run a server, go with FreeBSD or OpenBSD. I don't mean to badmouth Linux, they are damn secure, but those two are used when you want absolutely the best, and safest you can get. [06:43] goddard: You will sacrifice some functionality and ease of use though. Your call. [06:43] Is it that different? [06:43] holocene: What is ice authority anyway? [06:43] Jon--: it's a known fact that bsd is usually more secure [06:43] goddard: Yeah, I'm going to have to also provide a shout out for BSD. Security = rock solid. [06:43] Are openbsd people pretty friendly? [06:43] should i do something to the alsa-base.conf file?:( [06:44] holocene, Hop on their channel? [06:44] goddard: See ActionParsnip's reply. Yes. In the security community, those are very rarely found exploits. I don't remember which one, one of those two, hasn't been a remote exploit in years. It's definitely at the sacrifice of making your life a living hell in setup though. Limited. [06:44] jericom: has to do with passwords and security. It was a nightmare for me. [06:44] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goobuntu [06:44] want [06:44] tyler: good idea. I've heard things. [06:44] holocene: Is it default in the installation or it comes with other packages? [06:44] default [06:45] Jon-- I see [06:45] holocene: btw thanks for you help [06:45] tyler but I will [06:45] jericom good luck you will get it. [06:45] how can i confirm whether I have a dialup/phone modem in my comp? [06:45] goddard: It comes down to choice. Is Ubuntu server "secure", yes. Is it bulletproof? No. Is even FreeBSD bulletproof? Well, it's possible that it isn't, but it's the best you can get if you are concerned. [06:45] help please [06:46] guys how in the holy heck do you disable services from starting on bootup in lucid [06:46] goddard: OpenBSD is also good. Do some research. [06:46] siriusnova, use the start up manager [06:47] there is no start up manager [06:47] where is it [06:47] goddard: You could go and ask a BSD guy on a BSD channel as of why their OS is more secure then Linux. You'll get a biased answer of course, but there will probably be some useful information given out. [06:47] siriusnova: unfortunately, i think they dropped the gui for doing that with Lucid/upstart. but you can look at man page for update-rc.d, and i think the chkconfig package might be another one to have a look at [06:47] what [06:47] wait [06:47] excludes xchat menu internet, installed it again and appeared not give
I alt + f2 gksu alacarte and it appears on the menu ... As I put on the menu ? [06:47] wtf [06:48] goddard: Freebsd was great and a very good community. [06:48] please help someone... [06:48] how can i create password wall in linux [06:48] siriusnova: I think it's in the repositories... not sure though. [06:48] ? [06:48] devilina what is your question [06:49] Ok, I'm about to throw things [06:49] excludes xchat menu internet, installed it again and appeared not give [06:49] I alt + f2 gksu alacarte and it appears on the menu, as I put on the menu [06:49] skype crashes when I start a chat in Lucid, worked well in prev versions though. Anybody having the same issues? [06:49] holocene...the front audio jack is not giving any output..i did a lot of reasearch on google...tried all sorts of stuff..but doesnt work..it started after the release of karmic === mike_ is now known as Guest37620 [06:50] jack is mechanically good? === benlieb is now known as minijupe [06:50] cable good? [06:50] yes..works on windows holocene...its working..so no probs there [06:50] goddard: The main reason is philosophy. Nearly all the features FreeBSD has, except for a few key ones, are available in Linux. Key: kernel security levels. Includes better IDS (intrusion detection system), etc. The main reason? Their codebase. Linux moves forward, BSD stays where it knows it is 100% safe. Makes your life harder, but it offers better security. [06:51] goddard: [I know I said main reason twice, different default packages etc differ DUE to philosophy though ;p] [06:51] if you did the google thing and checked forums then I don't know. there is another very big linux channel on freenode to try. they seemed good. [06:51] can anyone help me [06:51] ? [06:51] anybody having problems with skype in Lucid? [06:52] annie7130789, whats your question? [06:52] hi... i got this nokia 2730 c and want to connect to the internet from that device paired to ubuntu 9.10 via bluetooth [06:52] In my case is working fine [06:52] thamz, nope works great for me [06:52] ya i want to download latest sype in lucid [06:52] devilina ask again and I will shutup. [06:52] i can connect via the upper toolbar but then still ping www.google.com says unknown host [06:52] the device shows [E] [06:52] hmm:( [06:52] thamz : yea, cant get my webcam to work hehe [06:52] annie7130789, ok [06:52] anyone here run an Intel (multicore probably) chip and have problems with frequency scaling on a fresh install? [06:52] means it is connected fine [06:53] @RodiMus-x i want to create password wall in linur during runlevel3 login [06:53] bricky, in my case, i can't start a chat even :( [06:53] I am using vim on Windows via djgpp. I would like to have the same colour scheme for vim syntax highlighting that I have on Ubuntu by default [with background=dark]. How can I do this? [I ask here because I know a lot of you guys are good with ~/.vimrc and things of that nature. VIM should be the same on the two platforms, just seems like defaults are not. Just pretend I didn't use the word... [06:53] ..."Windows", I dualboot ;P] I have looked in ~/.vimrc and /etc/vim/vimrc on Ubuntu. Neither have any colour settings. [06:53] sorry its linux [06:53] annie7130789, a password wall? [06:53] ya [06:53] there is already one [06:53] devilina, it's probably due to it not switching to the jack automatically, it's something with alsa i guess where it senses when something is plugged it, it's supposed to switch [06:53] my guess anyway [06:54] and i want to creaone morete [06:54] can u help me [06:54] hi... i got this nokia 2730 c and want to connect to the internet from that device paired to ubuntu 9.10 via bluetooth ... the device shows [E] means its connected correctly ... so does ubuntu show the tower in the network area when its connected .. but still ping www.google.com says unknown host [06:54] annie7130789, you mean a user list [06:54] RoDiMuS-X, hmm, some prob with my machine, i guess [06:54] devilina, what kind of computer is it? [06:54] i keep it plugged in while i boot....codebrainz [06:54] still it doesnt detect..its a desktop codebrainz [06:54] no there exist a password wall in linux [06:54] <`blackmk4`linux> what would cause update-motd to disappear and apt-get install update-motd doesn't fix it [06:55] and i want to create one more password wall [06:55] annie7130789, are you talking about Openwall [06:55] annie what system has a pasword wall? [06:56] goddard: Not to steer you in the wrong direction, I think OpenBSD is more secure than FreeBSD. Both are VERY good. OpenBSD has had TWO remote exploits in ten years, and that's while being completely open source. [06:56] @Rodi i dont know what open wall and password wall is [06:56] but some one asked me how to create it? [06:56] hi... i got this nokia 2730 c and want to connect to the internet from that device paired to ubuntu 9.10 via bluetooth ... the device shows [E] means its connected correctly ... so does ubuntu show the tower in the network area when its connected .. but still ping www.google.com says unknown host [06:56] annie7130789, password walls are usually used on web servers [06:57] @Rodi and what is run level 3 login [06:57] is there a catalyst control center of some sort for ubuntu, [06:57] ? [06:57] annie7130789, that is GDM [06:58] gdm???? [06:59] vga ubuntu eror [06:59] :-( [06:59] annie7130789, yea the GUI that displays the available users and you select them and it prompts for the password [06:59] hi... i got this nokia 2730 c and want to connect to the internet from that device paired to ubuntu 9.10 via bluetooth ... the device shows [E] means its connected correctly ... so does ubuntu show the tower in the network area when its connected .. but still ping www.google.com says unknown host [06:59] wikipedia says run level 4 is the console and networking, no gui [06:59] annie7130789, GDM stands for Gnome Desktop Manager, correct me if I am wrong [06:59] sorry run level 3 [07:00] @Rodi den tell me how to create password wall in webserver of linux? [07:00] yes..runlevel 3 is CUI with networking..to invoke GUI type 'startx' :) [07:00] hi... i got this nokia 2730 c and want to connect to the internet from that device paired to ubuntu 9.10 via bluetooth ... the device shows [E] means its connected correctly ... so does ubuntu show the tower in the network area when its connected .. but still ping www.google.com says unknown host [07:00] cui = cli?

[07:01] annie7130789, google Openwall [07:02] window 1 [07:02] how do you exit the gdm in ubuntu to get to run level 3? [07:02] hit ctrl-alt f1 [07:02] and then to return to gdm? [07:03] ctrl-alt f8 i think [07:03] sorry f7 [07:03] oh that code::blocks 8.02 is nice download just got to see if it works as good as it looks [07:03] rodimus I got stuck in the console and could not return once. the reason I ask. Ok f7 will try. [07:04] holocene..to get back to runlevel 3..on terminal type 'init 3' :) [07:04] I want to throttle my CPU fan up at about 3000 RPM ... how can i do this? Desktop/ASUS MB/AMD CPU/ Ubuntu Karmic [07:05] i think i should go back to jaunty to make my front audio jacks to work...:( [07:05] karmic & lucid doesnt solve the issuee [07:07] zetheroo, i think you probably use lm-sensors for that, there's a pwm thingy in there if you system has one [07:07] Hello Everyone! how can help me to configure WINE ? correctly [07:08] codebrainz: well I have that running ... the sensors in the panel anyway .... but I didn't know that lm-sensors could control stuff ... I thought it was for monitoring ... [07:08] Hello Everyone! how can help me to configure WINE ? correctly [07:09] zetheroo, run pwmconfig [07:09] it will tell you if it can do it or not [07:09] what am I looking for?

[07:14] I would do echo commands on fan state files on some hp notebooks and thinkpads, but they also have that thinkpad control deal [07:15] clint-: yes I use the Thinkpad Fan Control app on my Thinkpads .... [07:15] ok guys i understand it! but how can i download required items and where i must put them / [07:15] zetheroo: occasionally its given me results sorted in a crap way while it gives my friend the results sorted better :-/ [07:15] thanks man [07:15] like example, full rpm, echo 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/state [07:15] zetheroo, they tweaked it to death, removed country options, definition, the search results are worse, it looks lame, and there's a new bar on the left that makes it not work on my netbook [07:15] Magicianlord: i'd use noatime as the files will be written less and make the device last longer (ssd have limited write cycles) [07:15] I been debating on which thinkpad to get again.. sent a T61 back, [07:15] Docteh: I see [07:16] the T410 I like, but some things on it I don't like which is was more like the T61, but with that touchpad though, however I got a Logitech VX Revolution so.. don't matter [07:16] codebrainz: i see what you mean ... [07:16] Twain_32: usually www.dll-files.com is needed but again, there is no single answer [07:16] ActionParsnip: and what abou using relatime instead of noatime? [07:16] but ze [07:16] zetheroo: [07:16] you can issue echo commands to control diff levels :) [07:16] 0 - 7 [07:16] should be, just all depends [07:17] clint-: how do these echo commands work?

I do tech support, mostly onsite and mostly on laptops ... I have been using Thinkpads since 1999 ...

[07:29] clint-: haha ... you need to look at what Apple are doing to this world ... Steve is off his rocker me thinks ...

[07:32] clint-: yes ... I have been mucking around with the idea of rolling my own kernel for starters [07:32] hmm -- radeon driver does 2D much better than fglrx, it seems [07:32] even though I'm still cool with suse/mandriva/fedora/ and ubuntu [07:32] Nmvictor: go to the ppa page and use: sudo add-apt-repository [07:32] Does anyone know? :) [07:32] I stopped working with debian, been since 2007, I worked with it from 2005 - 2007 [07:32] alktors: sudo apt-get install network-manager [07:32] gentoo as well [07:32] pls repeat how to get to console from gdm?

[07:32] alktors: Ask, of course, I'll answer if I can [07:32] alktors, sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome iirc [07:32] I feel ubuntu is a great successor out of debian based systems period [07:33] and see linux mint doing a lot of things as well [07:33] I do some things with fedora [07:33] r [07:33] I work with suse/mandriva more [07:33] clint-: yes mint is pretty interesting [07:33] and deploy them [07:33] theadmin, I purged network manager because it showed me "wireless networks>disconnected in gray " even thou wireless is enabled and I have the drivers installed. [07:33] ubuntu though, I might start offering though again for new customers [07:33] theadmin, Why? [07:33] I'm really big into security zetheroo [07:33] you could say I"m a paranoid user [07:33] theadmin, Was something wrong with network manager or something? I'm a beginner.

I don't have one [07:39] probably because it has a custom dsdt for acpi [07:40] clint-: btw, do I need to disbale the cool and quiet feature in the BIOS?

[07:44] you probably can change things in bios for fan settings, but I would just leave it where its at [07:44] clint-: ok cool ... ha ... pun not intended [07:44] optimum , performance, etc. quiet [07:45] clint-: at what temp is it bad for the CPU? [07:45] zetheroo: I was building Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T's for a while, the next 1 if I use them, I will get some dust filters, [07:45] the 250mm side fan really isn't needed only an 80/90mm side fan, the front intake is 140mm and side rears are I can't rem off hand [07:45] illuminatus: there's a plugin on evolution if u are usung evolution [07:45] Hey, I'm in need of some Conky help... My Conky display ends at the middle of line 137... http://chiggins.pastebin.com/dEVvherd [07:45] 240 F is critical metling [07:45] melting [07:45] should I be able to get to the console by ctrl alt f1 and then return by ctrl alt f7? [07:45] if not there's a lot of other good rssreaders for gnome...try google [07:46] gpu's run hotter than cpu's do though, they are geared very high [07:46] but everything is controllable to an extent [07:46] clint-: whats that in Cel? [07:46] 464F [07:46] wait erm [07:46] heh [07:47] 115 C [07:47] just all depends how the cpu is engineered [07:47] clint-: oh yeah ... that's kinda hot [07:47] some can take a huge stress before they start to overheat and die [07:47] um.. yeah [07:47] :) [07:47] default engine temps are 195 - 205F [07:48] holocene_: are you running the live cd? [07:48] onetinsoldier: no. hard disk install [07:49] zetheroo: have you been using ubuntu for a while? [07:49] I'm going to get the latest build and work with it [07:49] right now, I'm just working with suse/mandriva/ mainly [07:49] clint-: not too long ... since 2006 [07:49] holocene_: roger. then i'd say the answer is yes, you should have Virtual Terminals available with Ctrl+Alt+F1 - F6 [07:49] I started on hedgehog in 2005, and they also sent me 35cd's of breezy which I passed out to my College Coeds [07:49] clint-: i think I started with 6.04 [07:49] but I was also working with debian back in 2005 with sarge, and also testing etc, through 2007 [07:50] clint-: yeah I got stacks too - heh [07:50] onetinsolder: I can't get back from the console. I am stuck in the console and must sudo shutdown.

I currently have SliM loaded, but I want to switch back to GDM for a few things...

[07:51] I' really like security zetheroo its highly important [07:51] clint-: I have helped about 20 people change to Ubuntu from Windows ... [07:51] suse by far has done this for my business and for myself [07:51] however, as I stated I'm studying LFS and working with it.. [07:51] clint-: sound good! [07:51] gentoo was something.. working with it from 2006 - 2007 spending months on custom work, and weeks etc [07:51] ubuntu is really a nice base, and for world wide support [07:51] holocene_: although you 'should' be able to get back to X with Ctrl+Alt+F7, try this if that's not working --> sudo service gdm stop ...followed by sudo service gdm start [07:52] clint-: so your clients use Linux I take it ... [07:52] zetheroo: thats cool [07:52] onetinsolder: noted. thanks. will try. [07:52] residential, business, yes, windows and linux, [07:52] clint-: you have been asked multiple times to take non-support issues to -offtopic [07:52] and I manage virtual machiens for them, np mnemon [07:52] argh mnemon [07:52] clint-: here it comes :P ... off-topic [07:52] mneptok: * [07:52] yeah lets take it to ubuntu offtopic [07:53] onetinsolder: does suspend or hibernate have even the slightest thing to do with not being able to switch back? === juju2143 is now known as [J] [07:53] hey is there a way to restore my display drivers, or reset them to their default.. [07:53] Guys, I need some help. Slim keeps booting into gnome, and I want it to boot into xfce... I have this line in slim.conf login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login /etc/X11/Xsession %session where is the %session variable located? [07:53] Hi i have a folder containing very long file names (~40-50char) in Korean, Japanes, English - im getting errors using different methods or trying to copy/archive it [07:54] holocene_: it could. i haven't had any trouble with suspend on my desktop system, but i've seen people say they've had some problems, especially with hibernate [07:54] can someone give me some help in a command that will do thIS? [07:54] i feel stupid for asking this, but how do i set brasero as the default dc buring application? [07:54] who know how to disable the touchpad? it seems that i can not find the disable option in preference > mouse > touchpad in ubuntu 10.04. btw, fn+f9 can disable it but i don't want to do this everytime. [07:54] ive tried, cp, tar, and rsync - rsync worked best but still only get 10% of the files [07:54] onetinsolder: But is hibernate or suspend somehow connected to ctrl at f7? [07:55] aprilus: there's a program called touchfreeze you could use [07:55] holocene_: no, not that i know of [07:56] onetinsolder: ok. thanks. I miss being able to boot into a console first, then starting the gui environment. [07:56] Hey, I'm in need of some Conky help... My Conky display ends at the middle of line 137... http://chiggins.pastebin.com/dEVvherd === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:57] holocene_, do you have alternate keys with a "function" lock or something? [07:57] revilodraw: thanks, i will try [07:58] codebrainz: yes. I think it is the cresent moon key. I press it, but can never come back. [07:58] codebrainz: unsure of your question though [07:58] i just installed lucid and i don't have a volume applet [07:58] well, if function lock or whatever is on, it's obviously the sleep button, i would assume for some reason by the moon [07:58] oh [07:59] so it won't change TTYs [07:59] I can get to the console. but its a one way trip. [07:59] press the Function lock or whatever key and try again [08:00] X windows should be on of the TTYs, probably 7 [08:00] ok. pressing the lock key now.... [08:00] i feel stupid for asking this, but how do i set brasero as the default dc buring application? [08:01] no effect. [08:01] when you press Ctrl+Alt+Fn, where n is between 1-8, you don't get switched back to Xorg? [08:02] one of them should [08:02] hmmm there is a difference between the indicator applet and the notification area how odd [08:02] ctrl alt f7 as I was directed has an effect but it does not return me to the gui [08:02] farts [08:02] double farts [08:02] holocene_: did the commands i gave you to restart gdm(X) work as a workaround for now? just curious :-) [08:02] how do i start a gnome session from ssh so that i can connect to it via RDP? [08:03] holocene_, what about ctrl alt f1, f2, f3 or any others? [08:03] onetinsoldier: I will try them. [08:03] holocene_: roger that [08:03] Hello again, respected members [08:03] Hello [08:03] Hello thinkstu [08:03] testing now brb [08:04] rocket16, I'm trying to mount ntfs system, which has VISTA, but I got message error I need to make chkdsk [08:05] onetinsoldier and codebrainz: ctrl alt f7 brought me back. Yea! thanks for the help. restores my faith in this laptop [08:05] ÔçÉϺÃ~ :-D [08:05] rocket16, how can I make chkdsk from ubunut !!? [08:05] Some websites, while loading in a browser are prevented by the browser saying "Malicious content", and if we open then in Windows, infection is sure. But in Ubuntu, will there be the same? [08:05] hmm, looks like I solved my 2D performance problem, kinda [08:05] thinkstu: I think, the matter is not related to Checkdsk, do you have ntfs-3g installed? [08:05] yes it is [08:06] the OSS radeon driver has far better 2D performance than the latest Catalyst driver under Lucid [08:06] I'm going to chalk this one up to "ATI sucks" [08:06] join [08:06] rocket16, this is the first line of the error message $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 1). [08:07] i feel stupid for asking this, but how do i set brasero as the default cd burning application? === karthik is now known as Guest4738 [08:07] ...., how to make chkdsk from ubuntu !!!!? [08:08] revilodraw, default in what? what do you want to happen when [08:08] revilodraw: System > Preferences > Preferred Applications, maybe? [08:08] yo! [08:08] thinkstu: I see. To make it, install ntfsprogs package. Then, I think the problem will be solved. Use: sudo apt-get install ntfsprog [08:08] CaptainTrek: i looked there, nothing at all about cds or dvds [08:08] thinkstu, if you want to mount it unclean, not-recommended, use the -o force on the mount command, see man mount.ntfs [08:09] codebrainz: hi, i want nothing to pop up when i put in a cd or dvd. any help? [08:09] so does anyone know how to start gnome-session from a remote terminal? [08:09] revilodraw: disable automounting then === lance_ is now known as Guest74455 [08:09] thinkstu: Also, instead of chkdsk, use fsck in Ubuntu, it nearly does the same function. fsck command is to be used [08:09] rocket16, E: Couldn't find package ntfsprog [08:09] rocket16, I'm using Lubuntu [08:10] !info ntfs-prog [08:10] Package ntfs-prog does not exist in lucid [08:10] codebrainz, force mount is not working too [08:10] darn, what's its thing... [08:10] genewitc1: i've never used ssh. so all i can think of is --> sudo service gdm start [08:10] fsck get the same error, and mentioned that I have to fix it using chkdsk [08:10] thinkstu, if you can boot into windows and shut it down cleanly it should mount when you return to ubuntu [08:10] and run chdsk in windows on it while in there [08:10] thinkstu: boot to windows command prompt and type chkdsk [08:11] onetinsoldier: ok that started something, but i need to connect to it [08:11] FYI: Windows support is in ##windows, not here [08:11] via remote desktop [08:11] codebrainz, CaptainTrek I can't boot from windows :S [08:11] thinkstu: then you're out of luck, Ubuntu can't run chkdsk [08:11] 这儿是聊天室？ [08:11] while deleting bsd-mailx, it tries to delete the checkinstall'ed nmap, why on earth? [08:11] thinkstu: Sorry, the package was ntfsprogs. So use: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [08:11] CaptainTrek: It has fsck.ntfs [08:12] theadmin: which doesnt always work the way Windows wants. [08:12] genewitc1: roger. can't help anymore than that. but that should have started x-windows (gnome session) on the remote system [08:12] CaptainTrek: i want them to automount, just for nothing to pop up once they've mounted [08:12] 晕 都是英语阿·· [08:12] CaptainTrek: That is true. It doesn't always work at all, either [08:12] i found it gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true [08:12] rocket16, already installed "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 67 not upgraded. [08:12] " [08:12] theadmin: doubly true xD [08:13] can I assign a br and eth the same IP? [08:13] rocket16, the ntfs part in sda2, even when I'm trying to boot from it, it did nothing [08:14] thinkstu: what version of windows? [08:14] VISTA [08:14] thinkstu: did you delete the Vista (loader) partition? [08:14] thinkstu: Can you boot from a windows CD, get to the recovery console and do it from there? [08:14] cappicard, I'm not sure, but I didn't delete it [08:14] wrong highlight [08:14] xD [08:14] theadmin, I don't have the Windows CD now :( [08:14] thinkstu: reinstall vista bootloader, then use live-cd to reinstall grub [08:15] thinkstu: I see. try these commands: sudo -i first in terminal, then, ntfsfix /dev/sda2. Install the ntfsfix package for this. [08:15] I tried ntfsfix [08:15] but same problem [08:15] thinkstu: you'd need to take this to a tech in my opinion, your issue is bordering on "beyond fixable via IRC chat" [08:16] thinkstu: and I've seen a LOT of those kinds of issues (those being "beyond fixable via IRC chat") [08:16] Hi to everyone, excuse me, I have no idea how does it work here. Can I ask you only one "simple" question? I have HD radeon 4350 and I'm searching for some linux distro. Upto now tried ubuntu, but it didn't work. Is this card supported in Opensuse11.2 [08:16] CaptainTrek, the funny part is I'm a tec, but I'm home with no tools to use :( [08:16] Try this command: ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/ntfs -o force [08:16] maitrey: ask in ##linux [08:16] thinkstu: Make sure it is not mounted [08:16] thanks [08:16] thinkstu: Then try ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/ntfs -o force [08:16] thinkstu: lol? Perhaps you need to go get a Win Vista OEM disk [08:17] Hi, I'm having trouble booting my live cd. I'm at a (initramfs) shell prompt with an error message: Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. What should I do? [08:17] rocket16, let me try this command [08:17] KungFuBear: sounds like a bad live cd [08:17] rocket16, same error :( [08:18] thinkstu: again, time to invest in a Win Vista OEM disc [08:18] CaptainTrek its not. It has to do with the computer I'm trying it on. Its an old pc. The cd works fine on my laptop [08:18] cappicard, I don't have the disk :( [08:18] thinkstu: again, make sure you highlight the *correct* person [08:18] hey can ubuntu scan for hardware updates and missing drivers [08:18] kungfubear: I once switched out the cdrom drive with another and it worked [08:19] :) [08:19] thinkstu: then what I said stands, it seems you're out of luck. this issue seems "beyond fixable via IRC chat" [08:19] thinkstu: Your NTFS partition has been corrupted and you can fix it through Windows tools only. Boot up Windows OS and run chkdsk on C: Drive. In case Windows OS in not booting up, plug-in your harddisk in a machine having any Windows OS and run chkdsk. [08:19] CaptainTrek, this is the first time (for me) to find someone give up in IRC :) [08:20] thinkstu: I agree with CaptainTrek to an extent, :( Sorry, [08:20] thinkstu: its 3:20 AM here xD guess why [08:20] rocket16, anyway thanks for trying [08:20] cappicard, lol [08:20] I got it [08:20] CaptainTrek, do you have work tomorrow ? [08:21] thinkstu: nope, college student off from classes for the summer. [08:21] May I ask a question? [08:21] thinkstu: not everyone here has a full time job [08:21] oh, to be in college again. [08:21] thinkstu: i'm on call for my dad's office though... they dont know their linux server's commands, and I do xD [08:21] CaptainTrek, lol [08:22] CaptainTrek, I think that's a very nice think [08:22] thinkstu: go to #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat with me [08:22] i'll be there shortly [08:22] CaptainTrek: Uh, can't you ssh to that server? ;) [08:22] theadmin: which, my dad's office server? [08:22] CaptainTrek: Why yes [08:23] theadmin: noo. he's a lawyer, and that server's protected by multiple firewalls xD [08:23] what is the best way to chroot an sftp user ? [08:23] theadmin: besides, he's a 15 minute light rail trip away xD [08:23] how do i remove this from my root? === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm [08:23] CaptainTrek: ic %) [08:23] CaptainTrek: Dunno what's a light rail, but whatever [08:24] CaptainTrek: Sounds like something from a sci-fi movie to me, lol [08:24] theadmin: streetcar, trolley, light rail transit car, New York City Subway Car, etc [08:24] theadmin: those are examples [08:24] CaptainTrek, your father has a IT company ? [08:24] CaptainTrek: Ah, trolley, got it now, thanks XD [08:24] hi everyone, i need to know something really important [08:24] th3seaw0lf: 42. [08:24] can anyone help? [08:25] thinkstu: no my dad's a lawyer, i'm his tech person though [08:25] th3seaw0lf: ask your question already [08:25] theadmin: Damn, you beat me to it. [08:25] !ot | theadmin [08:25] theadmin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:26] i need to install 10.04 over 9.10, without formatting the hd, but i cant uprade because the previous installation is completely broken [08:26] CaptainTrek, Lawyer !!!!, what does he need a serve for ? [08:26] and i cant even reach grub [08:26] thinkstu: email, LDAP, internet at his office, etc. etc. etc. === ubuntu910 is now known as Hgrubby [08:26] th3seaw0lf: I don't see a way to like that. If it's GRUB, you may reinstall it from a live CD... [08:26] thinkstu: lol, MOST small businesses have a server xD [08:27] now, when i use a live cd, i can only install it in a new partition, or format the whole HD [08:27] and do a clean install [08:27] i dont want that [08:27] th3seaw0lf: You can also format just one partition [08:27] cuz my important stuff is on that HD [08:27] th3seaw0lf: How did it break? It may not be as irecoverable as it seems. (though you can re-install without reformatting by choosing manual partitioning) [08:28] well, the fstab is empty, and /boot/ is empty [08:28] CaptainTrek, I'm not sure where are you from, but server for Lawyer ..... [08:28] th3seaw0lf: And anything important should really be backed up, in any situation. [08:28] CaptainTrek, do you mean mail. backup, LDAP .etc server ? [08:28] th3seaw0lf: How did that happen? [08:28] thinkstu: DUH [08:28] thinkstu: what did you THINK I meant??? [08:28] >.> [08:28] ANYWAYS, this is offtopic [08:29] back to support [08:29] CaptainTrek, lol [08:29] ia couple of days ao, while on pidgen, X restarted suddenly, and showed me the whole X error screen [08:29] guys I am having keyserver inssue [08:29] so what happens if you are using Ibex?

Anyone using that? Is there any use for this software for the guy who wants to work with virtual hosts? I can only create, rename or remove hosts, nothing else! What's the use for this? [08:30] hey guys suppose I busted my display driver how can I get it back [08:30] hi [08:30] is there anyone here who runs znc on their machine? [08:30] u following me Jordan_U [08:30] is there an automatic upgrade or do you have to use a live/alternative CD to upgrade? [08:31] halp [08:31] Hello all. I am having a problem getting Ubuntu to recognize/mount dvd's. It will mount blanks and my home movies that I've made. I have lucid fully updated. I have installed the restricted software package.

It's a repo. [08:34] first you install libdvdread4. then run this included script --> sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [08:35] theadmin: roger.. my bad [08:36] theadmin: you don't need to add the medibuntu repo is what i should have said [08:36] do we still have to register for this channel?

In case the channel goes under Spamblocker protection, you'll be able to enter only with a registered nick.

How can I tell /etc/fstab that a certain mount should only be done after the network is up? I have a fuse sshfs share mounted in there that I want to automount when the network is up [08:40] Chazrawr: it should be there... what version of Ubuntu are you running?

Don't ask people to help you, they will if they can. [08:42] You want the whole thing or just a particular part of it? [08:42] SmokeyD its very lon and complicated, i'll paste it on pastebin [08:43] Is there a way to "simulate" a grub install to see if it detects all OS's correctly?

[08:46] Chazrawr: lol. ok, cool === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [08:47] Once I run that it should work. Right? [08:48] th3seaw0lf: wow, that indeed sounds messed up. I guess your whole install is messed up after the connection broke during upgrade. I am sorry, but I can't help you find the real problem, other than recommending backing up stuff with a live cd and doing a fresh install. [08:48] hello [08:48] hello [08:48] I need help plz [08:49] hi guys [08:49] insign-> look here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/getdeb-mirror-site.html [08:49] wedo what is the problem [08:49] hi siriusnova [08:49] hello anyone know free account shell to practice linux cmd plz [08:49] th3seaw0lf: you could though try to at least reinstall grub. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 for more info on that [08:49] I cannot shutdown or reboot my system [08:50] thanks SmokeyD, looking into that [08:50] xruby: nope, just install ubuntu and then practice xD [08:50] wedo: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:50] wedo - what do you mean [08:51] siriusnova: when i click shutdown or reboot it does not make anything [08:51] :( i dont have a any pc to install it im forced to use that fukin windows [08:51] hum [08:51] only hibernate and suspend works [08:51] oh [08:51] weird [08:51] SmokeyD, i cant install grub because my Grub is broken and i cant get to terminal :P [08:51] what Ubuntu is this? [08:51] 10.04? [08:51] lucid [08:51] what kind of machine [08:51] yep siriusnova [08:51] anyone know wubi [08:51] laptop dell [08:51] even with a live cd, i dont think installing grub is possible [08:51] xruby: Yeah [08:51] I'm using wvdial to connect to the internet. But there is no system-wide notification of the connection. Firefox still starts in Offline mode, Empathy does not attempt to connect... Anything I should be doing? [08:52] wedo: in terminal: sudo shutdown now [08:52] th3seaw0lf: It is [08:52] test it [08:52] th3seaw0lf: on that link I sent you, there is a section (towards the bottom) about reinstalling grub2 using a live cd [08:52] so you can do it by booting from a live cd and then reinstall grub from there [08:52] CaptainTrek: I have this problem for one week now [08:52] Ok I ran that script earlier and I manually installed mediabuntu and it still won't mount any dvd's. [08:53] wedo: still do it please [08:53] to test something [08:53] i used to shutdown by using : sudo init 0 [08:53] th3seaw0lf: I would recommend method 3 from there. [08:53] i already installed but when i restore windows installation is already on in windows but i cant reinstall that work but installer for wubi was destroy how can i force to reinstall it without lost grub and all my installation === Guest4738 is now known as nkarthik [08:58] moin [08:58] how do you restart networking? [08:58] Ok I ran that script told to earlier and I manually installed mediabuntu and it still won't mount any dvd's. [08:59] nvm [09:00] CaptainTrek: the command work and its shutdown [09:02] hello [09:02] hey guys, it seems I cannot access my ubuntu computer at an office building, because no incoming ports are opened... [there are routers behind routers behind routers!] [09:02] are there any alternatives to regular vnc, ssh ? [09:02] i.e. can I somehow have the computer connect to a 3rd party server, and somehow connect through that? [09:03] gbear14275: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart should work [09:03] Having a strange problem.... Randomly when I click, X shuts down, and then I get booted to a screen that says my Screen, video card (and something else, i dont remember) cannot be detected (even though they were JUST running) and it asks me to go into low video mode etc. [09:04] can anyone help me with runlevels [09:04] Chazrawr: did you install the css extras? [09:04] since were all asking i thought id ask for a hand in reinstalling the correct ati driver package [09:05] how do I bring down a bridge? [09:05] :P [09:05] I did. [09:05] Chazrawr: or the extra codecs to run the things that ubuntu does not come with? like restricted codecs? [09:05] Prior to 10.04 if I launch a bash script I was asked if I wanted to run it in terminal, edit it etc. In 10.04 it just runs. Where do I change this back to the old behaviour? I regularly want to edit the script immediately prior to running it (to launch Wine prefixes) and it was a LOT more convenient to be asked what I wanted to do each time. [09:05] !radeon [09:05] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:05] mkquist: Those are all installed as well. [09:06] can anyone help me with runlevels [09:06] Chazrawr: can you 'look' at the dvd and see it vob files? [09:07] Chazrawr: i've never had a problem with ubuntu, at least, and dvd's after installing the codecs... [09:07] *not and ... with [09:07] mkquist: What do you mean look? [09:08] Chazrawr: can you manually mount the dvd and 'see' the files on it? [09:08] how can I enable a verbose boot [09:08] Chazrawr: as in can you browse the dvd... [09:09] I want to see all the messages and procedures happens while loading [09:09] wedo: sudo nano /etc/default/grub, remove the quiet and splash entries from the relevant line, save, and do "sudo update-grub" [09:09] mkquist: Hmm, I don't know how to manually mount it. What's the command? [09:09] wedo: do you want to 'see' what is happening on boot? [09:09] yes mkquist [09:09] ty rww [09:09] Chazrawr: sudo mount /dev/whatever drive it is... after making a directory in (probably) media [09:10] can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here... I seem to have a zombie bridge: http://paste.ubuntu.com/442675/ [09:10] wedo: you can remove the "quiet" by editing the boot line in grub and see what is actually happening instead of seeing, like a progress bar [09:11] no matter what I do I can't seem to kill this br1 [09:11] wedo: by default ubuntu boots in 'quiet' mode.. which does not show what it's doing... [09:12] mkquist: yes I do not see anything after the grub choices until i have the login screen === root is now known as Moral_ [09:12] wedo: you have to edit the choice you want to see [09:12] wedo: dmesg [09:12] I have some start up programs does not start and I have to start it manually each time [09:13] anyone... zombie networking... any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/442675/ [09:13] wedo: it's an option when grub pops up [09:13] pat5star: I tried dmesg but couldn't find anything related [09:13] Ok, It's late for me. I can barely think. I'm gonna try again tomorrow, thanks for all the help. [09:14] wedo: the programs you want to autostart, are they in /etc/rc2.d? [09:14] wedo: you can go into preferences and add them to startup applications. That might take care of it [09:14] pat5star: the runlevel is unknown [09:15] sudo adduser --group www-data deploy what should this command do ? [09:15] wedo: why? you mean you don't know what runlevel you're on? [09:15] mkquist: network-manager does not start automatic, do I have to put it in autostart [09:15] i think it creates new user deploy under group www-data [09:15] right? [09:16] waheedi: that adds a new user called 'deploy' and adds 'deploy' to the group 'www-data' [09:16] does anyone use a different language besides English? [09:16] pat5star: wrong [09:16] pat5star: $ sudo adduser --group www-data deploy [09:16] adduser: Specify only one name in this mode. [09:16] untmdsprt: We have different channels for different languages. Which one do you want? [09:16] pat5star: i know the runlevel but when i check it it gives me unknown [09:16] waheedi: wrong? [09:17] well I want to know how to correctly set up Ubuntu so when I want English I get all English, and when I want Japanese I'll get all Japanese [09:17] it gives me this adduser: Specify only one name in this mode.

It didnt work and now I cant even boot back into gnome. In the slim.conf file there is login_cmd exec /bin/bash [09:19] gbear14275: lol [09:19] -login /etc/X11/Xsesion %session where %session is defined as default, or xfce4. whhen I switched it back to ... Xsession %session gnome didnt boot. So somehow the default variable got messed up and it doesnt know where to boot from. When i ctrl-alt-f5 and killall x and slim and remove the locks in /tmp then startx or startxfce i get this error http://haxnet.org/pastebin/index.php/view/aaf16df3 it's at the bottom, regarding the keymap. An [09:19] It should also be noted, when I login as root and startx or startxfce it loads the window managers normally [09:20] waheedi: i think, if you already have the www-data group on the system, you would add the user to that group. if not. make the www-data group, then add users to it [09:20] onetinsoldier: www-data group already exists [09:21] but when i try to add user deploy it says adduser: Specify only one name in this mode.

[09:29] Lazy^: Yeah, disable compiz trough appearance settings [09:29] Lazy^: Or write a script which will do something like "metacity --replace && wine /path/to/your/thing.exe && compiz --replace" [09:30] i already installed but when i restore windows installation is already on in windows but i cant reinstall that work but installer for wubi was destroy how can i force to reinstall it without lost grub and all my installation [09:30] u understand my problem?

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [09:53] wedo: there is none anymore, *buntu uses upstart now. look at /etc/init/ [09:53] SmokeyD: i see. how do i check if i use recommended driver? [09:53] can some post link tutorial how use aircrack [09:53] text mode [09:54] linuxdc: http://www.remote-exploit.org/ [09:54] linuxdc: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=tutorial [09:54] thank you [09:54] gbear14275: sorry. i was gone for a bit there and i have to go. hope you get the help you're looking for. cheers [09:54] baskak: System->Administration->printing. Right klick the printer, choose properties and then with "Make and model" press change. [09:55] ty galerian resolved [09:55] oh, there we go [09:56] Error404NotFound: It was removed from lucid because it failed to build from source, and thus violated https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-supportable-binaries [09:56] SmokeyD: it's the recommended one. what about the alleged regress between ubuntu versions then? [09:56] xruby: no problem [09:56] baskak: you do need the proper packages installed. Check if you have installed all gutenprint packages (check in the Ubuntu Software Centre) [09:57] rww, hmmmm, okay any commandline alternates? [09:57] I don't know this specific printer or the canon drivers, so I can't help you there unfortunately. [09:57] baskak: ^ [09:57] Error404NotFound: no idea; I use the identi.ca IM bot to post, haven't really looked at clients. sorry :( [09:57] rww, thanks :) [09:57] SmokeyD: there are some gutenprint packages installed. and the printer properties says: CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 Simplified. what do you reckon? [10:01] baskak: with me I have also isntalled the foomatic/gutenprint-ijs drivers which are also listed with your printer (besides the cups+gutenprint ones). I think that requires the foomatic-db-gutenprint package to be installed. Maybe try that. I wouldn't know which driver would be best of the two and I have no way to check. [10:02] baskak: also make sure you have openprinting-ppds installed [10:04] hi [10:05] thanks galerien and rww === ericm is now known as ericm-afk [10:06] Anyone know if Intrepid repositories have changed lately? Like today or yesterday? [10:07] greetings [10:07] lightbricko: Nope. [10:08] I need to run a job periodically, can Upstart be used for that? [10:08] lightbricko: And Intrepid is beyond it's end of life, so you should upgrade. :) [10:09] jpds: I'm using an old package, "GPSBabel 1.3.5" from the Intrepid universe repo. I need it for a specific application (but I use Karmic). But today it is no longer installed, an in synaptic it is marked with red color without version numbe.r [10:10] jpds: And since it's the first day of the month today I suspected that the repo was ended or something like that. [10:10] lightbricko: My mirror logs don't show anything changing in intrepid. [10:10] lightbricko: And nothing about gpsbabel. [10:11] jpds: Ok thanks for checkting that, then the issue must have another cause. [10:11] checking [10:11] so everytime my laptop goes into ram mode after i close it, the sound no longer works, how to i fix this? also i just rebooted and now sound doesn't work, is there a command to restart oss? [10:12] is there a way to "undo" an apt-get upgrade? [10:12] (I don't have the list of packages as it was _before_ the upgrade) [10:14] lightbricko: Hmm, only recent ref to gpsbabel I can find is from May 31st 17:52UTC. [10:14] SmokeyD: changed the driver to foomatic gutenprint (full) and the problem's gone. thanks! it also has much more appropariate options. is it a bug that ubuntu by default installas the wrong driver? [10:14] apache mod svn (dav_svn) on ubuntu 9. Cannot view file content from browser, it ask me to download only. How do I fix it? [10:16] jpds: That is too new for my application. I'm using PyTrainer with my sports watch, and for some reason it only works with gpsbabel 1.3.5 from 2008. They haven't made it work with newer versions for some reason. [10:16] lightbricko: And that was just the timestamp on the gpsbabel/ folder changing. [10:16] sunson: try 'sudo tail -n /var/log/apt/term.log' where n is the number of lines to print. This will print the last n lines of apt's log. You can start there. [10:17] baskak: no there are different drivers for different printers. For this one printer, you need another one that the default. That is why openprinting.org was setup. There are also printers for which no drivers are available. It is in the end all up to the printer vendor to support their printer for linux. Quite some vendors do. But I am glad yours works now. Glad to be of help. [10:17] Hey. I need some help with my conky. When i log in to my ubuntu user account the conky automatically appears as always on top untill i go to my conky config and save it. How can i stop this? [10:17] jpds: One sec, I will try to look it up (I haven't checked the folder yet, just got the error message that 1.3.5 is needed today, and then saw that it was marked as red in synaptic and no longer having a version number) [10:17] so everytime my laptop goes into ram mode after i close it, the sound no longer works, how to i fix this? also i just rebooted and now sound doesn't work, is there a command to restart oss? [10:18] (I don't know what you are talking about exactly, but HP has a pretty awesome soft that select driver for its printer...) [10:18] hi. how can I synchronize my pc with this ntp server ? Tempo.cstv.to.cnr.it [10:19] i ve lost my mail and sound icons on task bar in 10.04...is there a reset or something they were there a few days ago [10:19] sixofour: Just hit Ctrl+Alt+F6 and login to the Virtual Console there. Now, enter: killall -user username (your username there) [10:19] ugliefrog: Reset the panels, [10:19] !resetpanel | ugliefrog [10:19] ugliefrog: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:19] um [10:20] kill all that my use has started? idk bout nthat [10:20] user [10:20] Hey guys. I also need help with moving my menu bar to the bottom. When i go on properties and select it to go to the bottom it doesn't go to the bottom and changes back to top. Any help? [10:20] rocket16, that did the trick thank you [10:20] ugliefrog: My pleasure, :D [10:21] ocs_: ntpdate [10:21] rocket16: didn't change anything [10:22] oss is still not detacting sound [10:22] even though i have an mp3 runnings [10:22] -s [10:22] magik_: I believe, you need to reset the panels, and then try that. Reset the panels using: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel (Terminal) === krazkidd is now known as its2am [10:22] thanks llutz [10:22] rocket16: Worked thanks bro. === Votan|off is now known as Votan [10:22] sixofour Did you try ALSA? [10:23] magik_: M pleasure, :D [10:23] i don't have alsa [10:23] i removed it and used oss4 [10:23] it worked until very recently [10:23] like...today [10:24] now even a reboot won't fix it [10:24] rocket16: What do you have on your desktop? [10:24] and i didn't change anything system wise [10:24] hi, i wanted to install other os, but i already have 4 primary partitions. can't i make a new partition on this one where ubuntu is installed? === Juiced_ is now known as Juiced [10:24] sixofour OSS has many bugs and problems. It often crashes, so I believe, using ALSA is better. Anyway, from http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/restart-esd-491154/, it is evident that OSS can't be restarted, as it is a kernel module [10:25] magik_: Ah, friend, I have Ubuntu 10.04, :) On my Laptop, and Gentoo on my Desktop (Ubuntu is better) [10:25] rocket16: I also am running 10.4. Wanna see my desktop? [10:25] rocket16: page not found [10:26] magik_: Sure, you can post a screenshot on imagebin, :D I am posting one of mine [10:26] oss4 works fine really, and has much better controls than i found with alsa [10:26] and with oss i don't need jack and an assortment of other arbitrary programs [10:26] jpds: The following search found nothing at all, so maybe it has been uninstalled: sudo find -iname gpsbabel [10:27] Whats image bin? [10:27] !imagebin | magik_ [10:27] magik_: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem?

[10:28] oss4 was updated like..a few days ago? [10:28] rocket16: http://i48.tinypic.com/2k1sno.jpg << There's my 10.4 desktop. [10:28] and has been constantly updated for 3-4 years [10:28] lightbricko: What does 'dpkg -l gpsbabel' show? [10:30] rocket16: Do you like it? [10:30] jpds: Output is at: http://tinypaste.com/03208 [10:31] Heloooooooooooooooooooooooooo any body here!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! [10:31] no [10:31] damn [10:31] magik_: Ah, nice. I am really inspired, :) Well, my Laptop is low on memory, and I just like simple ones, so here is mine: http://imagebin.org/99361 [10:32] rocket16: Thanks a lot haha =] I love your's tbh. Nice and clean =] I might make another desktop. [10:33] Can you code java on ubuntu? [10:33] Or is it just python? [10:33] magik_: yes [10:33] magik_: Sure, we can, :) [10:33] !java | magik_ [10:33] Awesome. [10:33] magik_: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [10:33] that the point fo java [10:33] rocket16: What irc client are you using? [10:34] magik_: i'd say Xchat is the best one... imho [10:34] magik_: i use konversation [10:34] magik_: I am using Pidgin, slightly customized with Adium Themes and special plugins, :) Still, I use only a single client, as a communication centre [10:34] but I know what this chan think about the word "best" [10:34] !best [10:34] 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. [10:34] Im using irssi in terminals. But for my other desktop i want something a little more cleaner and easier to use. Anyone got any suggestions? [10:35] magik_: To me, Pidgin is the best. It had Friend's list, all-in-one Communication system, and is vastly extensible via Plugins [10:35] Ravenwolf: Gonna go switch desktops now then I'll come back. [10:36] woops i mean rocket16 [10:36] hi , i downloaded the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386 file from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#bt [10:36] Is it an ISO format , how can i install ubuntu from this file [10:36] its about 699 MB [10:37] magik_: Sure, no problem. By the way, here is a screenshot of How Pidgin IRC looks: http://imagebin.org/99363 [10:37] Northwoods: burn it on a cd [10:37] or you can use a usb key... [10:37] rocket16: Thanks =] That's pretty sweet. [10:37] hey people, what the "! " for usb installation ? [10:37] magik_: My pleasure, :) [10:38] Galerien: i know its there in site , ubuntu.com [10:38] Galerien: what is the format any idea , the one file which i downloaded [10:38] back =] [10:38] i'm trying to write it to DVD , is that an issue ? [10:39] Northwoods: that a cd-image to be burned on cd [10:39] Northwoods: You can extract it in Windows (using extractor) and run Wubi from it, or better to burn to blank CD to make your own Ubuntu CD. USB is there via Unetbootin, but it is troublesome. [10:39] Ok. For my new CLEAN desktop I am going to need a wallpaper. Any ideas what kind i should use? [10:39] Northwoods: or dvd [10:39] hi folks, is there a way to make empathy go online when I login on GNOME?? [10:40] llutz: can i use DVD for it [10:40] ? [10:40] Northwoods: you can [10:40] hey guys [10:40] magikc: http://www.hebus.com/ [10:40] i need to find out what provides a .h file [10:40] how do i do this [10:40] siriusnova: apt-file search file.h [10:40] llutz: what i downloaded must be an ISO then ? [10:40] gotcha [10:41] fredl: Sure, just go to System-Preferences-Start Up Apps, and insert a new command, empathy there. [10:41] because it doesn't show me any extensinos [10:41] I see the empathy icon in the right corner after I login on GNOME, but I have to manually disable/enable all my accounts to make them go onlineafter I login [10:41] Northwoods: you said it is an ISO [10:41] hi@all [10:41] siriusnova, or: dpkg -S file.h [10:41] kk [10:41] anyway , its being written right now , lets see if it works [10:41] ibuclaw: works only on installed packages [10:41] Anyone here ever used a program called Fences for windows? [10:41] llutz, true... but then you can just use: http://packages.ubuntu.com [10:41] i'll get back to you , i'm on windows , should i re-boot and select boot device as my dvd-rom [10:41] Northwoods, if it is an ISO, you should "Open File/ISO" then burn the content. Do not burn the ISO file itself ;) [10:41] magik_: How about this one: http://windowsxpstuff.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/windows-vista-mountain-wallpaper.jpg [10:41] hi [10:41] rocket16, empathy starts up automatically already but it does not show me as online automatically [10:42] fredl: Did you set your connection to start automatically? You must do it to let empathy do that. [10:42] siriusnova: or you use the bot here, "!find file.h" [10:42] !find dvdio.h [10:42] Package/file dvdio.h does not exist in lucid [10:42] :| [10:42] rocket16, I don't know where to do that. Is there a way to do it after making the connection? [10:42] Northwoods, and yes, you need to go to your cmos/bios and set your DVD as the first in the boot sequence. [10:43] rocket16, all the accounts have the 'Enabled' checkmark set [10:43] fredl: To set your connection to start automatically, right-click network applet, and then, click "Edit" and select your connection, and click edit button. There, check "Connect Automatically" box in the connection, and click ok. [10:43] thankyou Laibcoms and everybody [10:43] siriusnova, it don't lie ;) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=lucid&arch=any&mode=exactfilename&searchon=contents&keywords=dvdio.h [10:43] is there a way to transfer all (ubuntu) programs installed on one computer to another? Maybe dump a list of installed programs and then read that list with apt-get install .. [10:44] fredl: Not the Empathy connection, I mean the Network connection to connect to Internet there. [10:44] !file cdio.h [10:44] rocket16, oh.... yeah the network connection is started automatically [10:44] !find cdio.h [10:44] File cdio.h found in gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-doc, libcdio-dev [10:44] magikc: How about this one? http://windowsxpstuff.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/windows-vista-mountain-wallpaper.jpg [10:45] siriusnova, trying to compile mplayer ? [10:45] lol [10:45] how did you guess [10:45] :P [10:45] rocket16, I want my empathy to show me online when it starts up. [10:45] siriusnova, apt-get build-dep mplayer [10:45] ibuclaw i pulled the svn [10:45] its newer then in the repositories [10:45] siriusnova, dvd ... cd ... and a gentoo thread :> [10:45] Is there a disadvantage of using WUBI , the dvd is ready it shows me that i can install ubuntu using WUBI , is there any harm in it , or should i go for clean install ? [10:46] OR clean install through system boot [10:46] !clone | plouffe [10:46] plouffe: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [10:46] fredl: It will do it, if you have Empathy selected to start at startup, and the network to be connected automatically at startup, Once, you set this, Empathy will automatically show you online at startup. [10:46] rocket16, okay, but it does not do that. [10:46] rocket16, so how do I find out what's wrong and why it doesn't do that? [10:46] hi one question is there one speziel pw for my root? i havent choose one [10:46] siriusnova, apparently dvdio.h is freebsd specific: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze&arch=any&mode=path&searchon=contents&keywords=dvdio.h [10:47] oh ok [10:47] thanks llutz [10:47] thx [10:47] ;) [10:47] hmm [10:47] rocket16, I also cannot set myself to 'Online' the statusses are grayed out [10:47] fredl: But, did you make changes, that your System will automatically connect to net on startup? Otherwise, if your System isn't online, Empathy can't be online [10:47] hi one question is there one speziel pw for my root? i havent choose one [10:47] !noroot [10:47] We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. [10:47] !root [10:47] 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 [10:47] Northwoods, it's ok to use WUBI but Ubuntu will be installed "inside" Windows, as a "folder" to be exact. [10:47] !wfm | darkViruz [10:48] darkViruz: 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/ [10:48] aah , i think fresh install would be better [10:48] Northwoods, but to login to Ubuntu, you have to reboot and choose Ubuntu. [10:48] rocket16, no, the network is up and running and after I login on GNOME, empathy starts up automatically but it doesn't allow me to go online nor does it do it automatically [10:48] since i have left about 80 GB for ubuntu , as unallocated disk space [10:48] Laibcoms: gotcha [10:48] thankyou [10:49] Northwoods, yep that will be the best option, different partition or HD. :) [10:49] Northwoods: my ubuntu uses less than 6 Gb... [10:49] Is it possible to SSH to a machine in my local LAN network offline? [10:49] so you are good [10:49] jpds: If you want to take a quick look, you can connect to my machine using VNC (It is already configured) [10:50] ubunt99u: how would you connect to an offline-pc? [10:50] with a router? [10:51] humm [10:51] rocket16, any other tips? === julie is now known as antoine[mbz] [10:52] I think what ubunt99u meant is connecting to his other machine via his local network instead of via the Internet [10:52] who using backtrack press 1 [10:52] !backtrack > zaryaz [10:52] zaryaz, please see my private message [10:52] fredl: I think, simply reinstalling Empathy will help (I use Pidgin, so not much familiar with Empathy). [10:52] rocket16, Hmm, maybe it's not empathy that I'm talking about but the 'Indicator Applet', does that make any difference? [10:53] fredl: Indicator Applet? I see, Indicator applet does not mean Empathy, it is just a notification on what services are running on your system [10:54] fredl: See, go to System-Preferences-Startup Applications, and there, select "Add" button, and insert the name as Anything, but the command as: empathy [10:54] fredl: This will help to solve your problem. From the next time, whenever you log in, Empathy will be online. [10:55] rocket16, okay, sorry about that then. So the Indicator Applet. when I click on it shows 'Chat Accounts'. When I choose that, I see my chat accounts in a window called 'Messaging and VOIP accounts'. All the accounts there shows as 'Offline - Status is set to offline'. What I'd like to know is how these will go online automatically [10:55] rocket16, do I need empathy if I want to do what I described above? [10:56] fredl: yes [10:56] fredl: You need that if you wish to start Empathy at startup. Well, your problem is not so hard probably. Do you see in the top-right corner, next to the Shutdown button (to left) there is a button with your username written on it? [10:57] fredl: click the envelope icon on your menu bar, click Chat [10:57] any program look like yahoo messenger in ubuntu? [10:57] rocket16, oh okay I guess I do huh? I just started up empathy from the command line and it makes the indicator applet go online [10:57] zaryaz, Gyachi [10:58] fredl: If yes, click on on it, and select Available. And yes, if that be so, then addimg: empathy command in Startup apps will settle the problem. [10:58] anyone know of an opensource alternative to this: http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx [10:58] rocket16, gotcha, got it sorted out now, thanks!~ [10:58] laibcoms, how i can get that program? use apt-get install??

[11:08] conb123: I had when I was with 9.04x64 [11:08] nslookup is not working on ubunntu ... how can I fix that ? [11:08] Galerien: But not now? [11:09] help .........help ...........help ...... [11:09] tgywa: use dig [11:09] conb123: I'm with x86 :s [11:09] llutz, used dig [11:09] tgywa: some details? [11:09] conb123: I needed it too bad for some website (like canal+, a french tv chanel) so I reinstalled [11:09] Galerien: Ah, damn, and flash works well? I think I might just switch to x86 solely for this reason [11:09] conb123, works fine on my end. 64-bit flash on Lucid [11:10] and gave the following error message "connection timed out; no server could be reached". [11:10] llutz, and gave the following error message "connection timed out; no server could be reached". [11:10] Laibcoms: How about if you do something like bump a youtube video up to 720p and then go full screen, I noticed a lot of lag then [11:10] llutz, when I type dig vg.no [11:10] conb123, will try... [11:10] conb123: well, no problem with X86, I have some with my graphic perfs, so not as sweet as with windows (don't hit me) but nice [11:11] I see a lot of "lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions" in /var/log/messages ... any idea to solve this ?

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. [11:11] Galerien: haha, flash is a lot better on windows, anyone that says otherwise is wrong [11:11] Pozzo: you can safely ignore it [11:12] rocket16: spoil sport. [11:12] Flash is cross-platform, and the only reason it might not be as fast or nice as Windows, is mal configuration [11:12] jetienne: I suppose I can do... but it's filling my log file... and it's not convenient to see "true problem" inside all this "flood"... [11:12] Pozzo: i understand. i dunno the solution [11:13] jetienne: ok thanks [11:13] Pozzo: "grep" :s [11:13] Galerien: yep...

I tried this Big Buck Bunny upload -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUPcimeiqLE [11:13] Pozzo: xD just saying [11:13] Galerien: but it's not really a clean way ;-) [11:14] http://static.arstechnica.com//ubnutu_light_2.jpg Where can i get this theme??????? [11:14] tgywa:try " dig @8.8.8.8 vg.no" [11:14] Pozzo: nop... you can also use a grep to put what you want in another log file and read it when you go to bed === root_ is now known as sydo [11:16] Laibcoms: Grr I don't know what is wrong with mine then! I just did it and the lag was awful, I'm using this http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html in chrome [11:16] Galerien: I think I will continue to use "grep"... because it seems configured inside the kernel [11:17] Galerien: in a compilation parameter... [11:17] im compiling the vp8 codec with my mplayer build [11:17] lets see how it works [11:17] >.> [11:17] <.< [11:17] siriusnova: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:18] conb123, Ah chrome. I'm using FF :p I'll try it using Chrome [11:19] Laibcoms: Also which flash version have you got? [11:19] Hey guys, anyone know where i can get a nice white theme that looks like the defualt 10.4 theme? Kind of like this on here: Click the link > http://static.arstechnica.com//ubnutu_light_2.jpg Thanks in advance =] [11:20] conb123: just tested the link with ff and chrome in 720, no lagg [11:20] Galerien: not too lazy... but if I have to do it each time Ubuntu provide a new kernel.deb... the problem does'nt worth it "cost" :-) [11:20] hey we are moving a couple of servers to 10.04.. [11:20] those would be running lighttpd and php fcgi only [11:20] Pozzo: true [11:20] any suggestions ? [11:20] Galerien: Egh, maybe it's my graphics card then, it's never been to great with ubuntu (Radeon hd 5750) [11:21] How do i install a gtk-2.0 or metacity-1 theme please help!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????????

[11:22] hi. I'm on lucid and my screen moves to the side when my cursor touches the left and bottom of the screen [11:23] conb123: no... [11:23] I can change resolution to get rid of this, but it comes back each time I boot. How do I fix this permanently? [11:23] conb123: can you use vide games? [11:23] +o* [11:24] Galerien: Er yeah kind of, wine video games were always very cruddy, I've played a few opengl based games such as alien arena and they seemed to work ok [11:24] conb123: if you have opengl, you are good [11:24] I don't and no lag for me [11:25] I'm looking for some help to get my Ubuntu to work for me; I have two primary issues as of now. First issue is audio output over SPDIF, I have an Asus P5Q, which has onboard Realtek ALC1200. Ubuntu automatically loaded drivers for it but it doesn't appear to see the SPDIF output. === Galerien is now known as galmiam [11:26] I went to realtek's website and downloaded the "Linux Driver, 2.6" But I have no idea how to install it, or if its even what I need.

I tried putting no password in for the sudo but it wasn't having it. Lil help? [11:30] hmm, when upgrading to lucid, is it best to also upgrade the nvidia drivers manually for the dkms bit? [11:31] does no software exist to record in video what captures my web camera in linux? [11:31] Come on guys i really need this =[ =[ =[ =[ =[ [11:31] :( [11:31] notmorewindows: What do you mean?

[11:33] So, honestly, I'm a little tested at this point, as it was communicated to me that non-security updates end up in backports, and typically only by user request, and lots of applications I use are not receiving updated RPMs for Mandriva 2010, whereas in my past near decade history of Mandrake/Mandriva, I recall applications being updated quite frequently (whether it was backports or not, I do not recall); how does Ubuntu handle application [11:33] updates for its package manager?

It gives you a Web-based interface to manage your configuration. [12:08] hello everyone i have installed apache2+mysql+php when i trying go to "http://localhost" it says "It works!

[12:09] screen1: /bin/my-curses-menu - screen 2,3,4,5,6: /bin/login [12:09] Myx0x3: I understand, but sometimes you have to learn to crawl before you can run.

[12:10] Galerien: i updated at software sources and apt-get update on terminal http://pastebin.com/tpVP75fa [12:10] Myx0x3: Once that is done, you can just open a web browser to "https://localhost:10000/" [12:11] linux: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [12:11] Myx0x3: And log on with your "sudo" enabled user account. [12:11] DSpair: okay! it was that simple, sometimes you have to config stuff [12:11] ubuntunewbie: ok [12:11] jrib: Any ideas?Å [12:11] jakob__: I don't know how offhand, but it's probably not the best of ideas [12:12] when i try to update error occurs W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1780999033C3C104 [12:12] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6AF0E1940624A220 [12:12] Myx0x3: We try to keep Ubuntu as simple as possible.

I don't have any assistive technologies enabled. and the only thing that gets stuck is a key like ctrl [13:48] Travis-42, can you confirm for me the status of the settings in : System > Preferences > Assistive Technologies, click : Keyboard Accessibility > report status of first tick box here on this tab [13:48] Twain_32: maybe this will help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [13:48] X-Sleepy-X: have you installed anything yet? [13:48] airtonix: everything on this tab is unchecked [13:49] Galerien: No, but I'm thinking about doing so. [13:49] Ok, wait [13:49] Travis-42, ok. have you investigated what happens with the keyboard when you use a live cd or liveusb ? [13:49] (I had some trouble this morning with my lamp, i'll give you what i did) [13:49] Galerien: I'm running Ubuntu Lucid desktop. [13:50] Galerien: Ok, thanks. [13:50] X-Sleepy-X: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410 [13:50] do it slowly and you're good [13:50] Travis-42, or have you eliminated the settings in : System > Preferences > Keyboard : Click "Layouts" Tab > Options [13:50] Galerien: Thank you! [13:51] Hiya, how is gnash coming along? Would it be able to play full screen youtube videos? Because that is really laggy for me at the moment [13:51] airtonix: well, part of the problem is that it only happens after some amount of time of active use, e.g. I'll be browsing and typing into a textbox, and suddenly it will be acting as if ctrl is held down. But it does happen for me both on a desktop and a laptop. nothing is strange in the keyboard layout options. [13:51] Janhouse: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [13:52] How can I enable Xv video output for via cn400,p800,pm880 (openchrome) in lucid? [13:52] Travis-42, ok i ask about that part because the symptoms sound just like what occured for me when i have some of those layout options ticked. [13:53] airtonix: yea, no nothing there. I even tried resetting keyboard preferences to defaults just in case [13:55] i have installed PS cs2 with wine! and when im running it after few seconds i get message "you can't use that program u don't have admin priviligies why???

[13:58] Twain_32: Try this command in terminal: sudo wine appname.exe (appneme.exe is the name of the .exe file) after cd (change directory to folder) [13:58] ok, i just updated my linux to 10.something and apparently its a problem when i try to shut down it returns me to the login screen... any idea why this happens? on my windows boot currently [13:58] rocket16 thanks big ill try it right now [13:58] Guest74724: no idea. Ive rarely ever had to use those features except ages ago to lock down wine. If you see a newer version in the repos. i would guess you could just Unpin it and install the newer one. but I doubt if the default repos will have any new versions of the tools untill the next rlease [13:58] rocket16, Twain_32: you shouldn't sudo wine [13:59] Pressing the Ubuntu Help Center icon (a blue circle with a question mark) in my Ubuntu 10.04 will show a dial symbol for a second but does not open any window. How to troublehoot? [13:59] so what i should ? [13:59] wine + sudo thats scary :) [13:59] jrib: We can, because if application is genuine, no virus should be there [13:59] Dr_Willis, alright thank you [13:59] Twain_32: check the wine app database for that program it may have some known issues.. [13:59] If the application is genuine, why to fear for Virus infection? [13:59] rocket16: no idea what you mean by "genuine" but why would you ever need or want to sudo wine? [13:59] Dr_Willis thanks ill check it [14:00] rocket16: i have to wonder why a gfx editor would need to be ran as admin anyway. :) [14:00] everything is fine [14:00] hey guys, im having a problem with my samsung 2233sn hd monitor, in ubuntu it detects as CRT-0 and i cant use the native resolution... [14:00] jrib: Because in some cases, it might be requiring Write access to configuration of System for setting graphics [14:00] rocket16: name one case [14:00] Ihat: I believe reseting panels will help. [14:00] !resetpanel | Ihat [14:00] Ihat: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:00] w83: you should be able to try and boot it now [14:00] as far as ive seen wine apps all think they are the admin when they run. Then again. this is for #winehq [14:01] hi all, can t get nautilus starting anymore, since i activated the login without password i get errormessage after login. 'could not update ICEauthority' and then problem with config server. i think i have an encrypted home folder ... is that the problem? nautilus isn t starting anymore, no desktop ... etc. what can i do? ( thinkpad r 400 + 10.04 fresh install) [14:01] rocket16: do i need to do this everytime or? [14:01] jrib: One such case is the case of Age of Mythology Gold edition, which needs Graphics library to be modified. It worked fine with sudo [14:01] Ihat: No, just once, [14:02] ok, will try l8er, thanks on forehand rocket16 [14:02] rocket16: applications run in wine should never need to touch anything outside of ~/.wine [14:02] should I also check the ntfs partitions ? [14:02] hey guys, im having a problem with my samsung 2233sn hd monitor, in ubuntu it detects as CRT-0 and i cant use the native resolution. Using a 9600GT, my other monitor (syncmaster 901n) detects just fine [14:02] jrib: But if it is a Commercial Antivirus, , whose Linux version isn't released? [14:02] w83: I wouldn't at this stage [14:03] rocket16: the applications don't know anything about wine. To them ~/.wine/drive_c and whatever wine makes available to them is the system [14:03] darn, forgot to copy, mind giving me the command again rocket16? :/ [14:04] !resetpanel | Ihat [14:04] Ihat: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:04] Ihat: No problem, :) [14:04] is this channel also for support? for ubuntu desktop 10.04 ? [14:04] rocket16: I imagine that all that will happen with sudo wine is you mess up permissions [14:04] agoasi1: just ask your question [14:04] ok rebooting [14:05] agoasi1: if it's not realted to this chan, we'll redirect you [14:05] +a [14:05] :Galerien I can t get nautilus starting anymore, since i activated the login without password i get errormessage after login.

I don't know what to tell you :s [14:06] yes, i am new to U. would love to use it but got stuck .. [14:07] I think removing the .ICEauthroity file in ~ fixes that problem but I'm not sure, remember having to do it before, just back up before hand if you do it [14:07] agoasi1: start a terminal (application ==> accessories ==> terminal) and tip rm .ICEAuthority [14:07] it just stoppes after displaying fsck from util-lunux-ng 2.17.2 [14:07] okit also says it can t mount the home folder [14:07] *linux [14:07] i have just a blank screen [14:07] cant start concole by alt+f1 [14:08] agoasi1: On login, press Ctrl+Alt+F6, and login there, with username and password.

[14:08] ctrl + alt + f1 [14:08] agoasil: *ctrl alt f1 [14:08] w83: have you tried booting into windows to see if the hdd works? [14:08] is there a way to suppress join/part messages in empathy? [14:08] agoasi1: Ctrl+Alt+(F2-F6) [14:08] ok thx i ll try [14:08] rocket16: f1 - f6 [14:09] Galerien: F1 is for debugging purposes, so it should be avoided, [14:09] I started from live cd and the hdd works fine there [14:10] rocket16: I didn't know that... do you have a link explaining the differences between F1 an F2-F6 [14:10] ?? [14:10] i have a problem booting... the splashy kubuntu load screen is shown, but nothing happens. if i press escape to see text, there is a message saying "WARNING!!! The filesystem is mounted. If you continue you ***WILL*** cause ***SEVERE*** filesystem damage.\n Do you really want to continue(y/n):?" [14:11] it appears fsck blocking by waiting on some input from the script that called it [14:11] Galerien: Read Ubuntu-Pocket-Guide by Kair Thomas, it is explained there.

[14:45] KimIskov: I don't use nvidia but iirc there are dome docs for it in /usr/share/docs [14:46] Dantevios, I tried to enter a manual network and its trying to connect but doesnt seem to connect... let me try iwlist scan [14:46] nickaugust, I posted, if there's something else please tell me. I really want to make wireless work. [14:47] Guess who just discovered the most annoying "feature" ever? [14:47] can someone tell me about vmlimit and how do i change it? on my 12GB of ram machine there is vmlimit of 4.4GB reported by atop... it's 64-bit so why is that?

[14:48] what kind of connection are you trying to connect to nickaugust / [14:48] ?* [14:48] WEP/WPA [14:48] etc [14:49] Dantevios: How's the signal strength, and is this on 9.10 or 10.04? === enzotib is now known as Guest61416 === renya is now known as r3nya [14:49] hhuti, looks like your card is recognized... i'm not sure where to go from there. type a short summary of your problem including the pastie.org links of ifconfig and lshw and maybe somone else can help [14:49] hhuti: your problem is that you need to get your broadcom card to work. I don't know what to tell you on that one. Did it work before? Or is this just a wireless card you are trying to get to work? [14:50] Dantevios, WPA [14:50] Howdy all. So I read a blog article that says lucid lynx supports the iphone. I'm running 10.04 inside vmware workstation on a windows box, but I tried connecting my iPhone (a USB device) to the Lucid virtual machine. However, it doesn't show up on the ubuntu desktop [14:50] any thoughts? [14:50] just because it recognized it doesn't mean the drivers work for it [14:50] moetunes I looked in and for docs the last several days now. I find no help. I find many suggestion about problems with tow screens. But I'm a newbee and this is all to dificult to find a solution. Now I came in here to get som help from human not a new suggestion for another website! [14:50] Hi, in ubuntu lucid synaptic shows something like "packages _manually_ selected for installation (opposite to installed as dependency; not sure about exact label - not ubuntu here now)". Is there any way to get this "manually selected for installation" packages list from command-line? [14:50] can anyone tell me wether they have 'pm-utils-powersave-policy' installed on their system? [14:50] for arm-elf-gcc which source pakages do i need? i did a clean install of ubuntu yesterday, if that matters [14:50] see if you can find your card here hhuti https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom [14:51] Dantevios, It worked in version 9.10:( [14:51] Is ipsec broken on ubuntu 9.04? I'm getting the following error when trying to load the af_key.ko module: FATAL: Error inserting af_key (/lib/modules/2.6.28-18-generic/kernel/net/key/af_key.ko): Cannot allocate memory [14:51] gbillings_: That is a cross-compiler, so I don't think, much needs will be there. You can find more information at http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CrossCompiler [14:51] can anyone tell me whether they have 'pm-utils-powersave-policy' installed on their system? [14:51] Dantevios, yes, it's the last line, 4312 [14:52] beats me hhuti ubuntu redoes their wireless stack in like every new version they release [14:52] did you try using wireless off a live CD? [14:52] Please give me som human help, no website suggestion! I have trouble with using two screens. I have Geforce 8600 GTS SLI. Please help??? [14:52] I always just reinstall instead of upgrading to a new version because of the problems that occur with upgrading. I am sticking with 10.04 until the next LTS version of ubuntu comes out. [14:52] Dantevios, Me?:) [14:52] yeah hhuti [14:52] Kimiskov: Install nvidia drivers [14:53] Which version of them do you have? [14:53] KimIskov: have you tired 'nvidia-settings'? [14:53] rocket16: i need it to build greenp0ison: an iPhone software toolkit and it needs to interact with the iPhone firmware [14:53] Dantevios, yes, it was not working there neither... [14:53] tried [14:53] spolstra: test [14:53] KimIskov: gksudo nvidia-settings might be better though. [14:53] moetunes, any suggestions for the repair [14:53] mike_nl: ok [14:53] rocket16: and it requires arm-elf-gcc in order to compile [14:54] hhuti: that's strange. The only thing I could think of is that your wireless drivers got upgraded and the new ones are not working for your card. For example my atheros card used to use the madwifi drivers, but now in 9.10 and on they use teh ath5k and in 10.04 the ath9k driver. [14:54] w83: apart from trying to boot windows as a check? [14:54] I would try to boot of a 9.10 live cd hhuti and find out which drivers it was using [14:54] moetunes, i dunno how to run it from grub [14:54] and then load those in 10.04 with modprobe [14:55] Dantevios, its WPA but there are unsecured and WEP networks in range as well that are not shown. [14:55] haakon-ubuntard helo yes i have tryed Nvidia settings. Where do I find gksudo nvidia-settings [14:55] hi anyone want a game? [14:55] tryied root (hd0,5) chainloader +1 boot ; and got just blinking cursor [14:56] hai this HanifBaloch need help [14:56] KimIskov: just hit Alt+F2, and copypaste it into. It means that you want to run nvidia-settings with root privileges. [14:56] KimIskov, gksudo just loads the program with root privleges [14:56] switchgirl: Game? You mean, you need a game for Ubuntu? [14:56] :P tried :) [14:56] anybody managed to get sound notifications working in Empathy 2.30.1 (ubuntu 10.04). I use it on 4 different machines, sound works on none, so it is not a local hardware/setup problem. [14:56] rocket16, alien areana from the repos [14:57] is there any kodak printer drives? [14:57] drivers* [14:57] thank you everybody for your help! [14:58] kim, did you install the nvidia restricted drivers like this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia [14:58] nickaugust: Yes, he already said he did, didn't he? [14:58] KimIskov, did you install the nvidia restricted drivers like this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nvidia === tigasola is now known as cenasfixes [14:58] Haakon-ubuntard: do you know how to detect which USB port a device is plugged into that maps to /dev/tty*? or some place? [14:58] Haakon-ubuntard, sorry just caught the tail of that convo... i have the same card running multiple monitors no problem... 4 of them actually :) [14:58] jjjjjjjj/exit [14:59] Is the equivalent of typing "sensors" into Konsole the same on Windows? [14:59] Dantevios: no, I do not. [14:59] haakon-ubuntard I have the same options with that command, It doesn't help me. My second screen is still not to find in Nvidia settings [14:59] KimIskov: I'm uploading a series of pictures. Just give me a sec, okay? :) === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [14:59] any difference between nvidia 96 and 173?

(This will log you out, so be sure to save your work!) [15:01] smallfoot-, yes "pm-utils-powersave-policy is already the newest version." [15:01] smallfoot-: I don't as this is a server, but if you are using any of the desktop or netbook editions, you should. [15:01] i do a sudo apt-get update and get the following error [15:01] The key sequence to kill the x-server is: AltGr+PrintScreen+k [15:01] Failed to fetch http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/jaunty/Release [15:01] Why is Ubuntu so dificult? [15:01] It's not really, it just doesn't like hotswapping monitors. [15:02] nickaugust, Pici, why is it marked as "unsupported" not canonical-supported? [15:02] At least it doesn't mess up my hdmi output like Vista does. [15:02] nickaugust, Pici, wasnt it removed? [15:02] KimIskov, it's a long story :) [15:02] But yes, when you're new to it, it's really weird to learn. After a while it gets a lot easier. :) [15:02] hehe [15:02] Has anyone got Ubuntu Lucid working as a guest on Xen 3.0.3 (Centos 5.3)? [15:02] smallfoot-: What version of Ubuntu are you using?

[15:05] yeah, thats the easiest way to do it krunkatron [15:05] oh i see. was hoping some client would just let me give the ssh port but thats not too bad.

[15:28] Guides on how to set it up are all around, but it's one of those programs you read a sample config, a manpage, and then go on hacking in wild abandon. [15:28] It's pretty neet. [15:28] uLinux_, conly for sure [15:28] bullgard, which particular application are you using? [15:28] is there a way to hide my linux partitions from Win7? [15:28] bullgard, they have #thunderbird and #firefox, for sure [15:29] drizzt_: You need to edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file. Login to Virtual Console, using Ctrl+Alt+F2, and login there. Then, type /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and there's a line (271) that says '[xdmcp]', a few lines below that, there's a line 'Enable=false'. My guess is that your gdm.conf has 'Enable=true', so perhaps changing that line might solve your problem. [15:29] guipac: howdy [15:29] haakon-ubuntard, ty quenbert, *conky [15:29] dlyneswork: My application at hand is "Yelp". [15:29] w83: all I can suggest is to use the live cd to chroot to the ubuntu partition and do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and if that doesn't work try dpkg-reconfigure the utils pkg [15:30] I tried the apt stuff [15:30] and nothing [15:30] Yeah, piece of advice though: When setting up conky, please don't have it display uname -a. It's really silly to pretend you need to know what kernel version you're running 24/7, like it was in the mood of changing all by itself... :p [15:30] but haven't tried the dpkg [15:30] bullgard, oh...never heard of it...and I'm pretty sure it's not a mozilla product [15:31] dlyneswork: Why did you suggest me to visit irc.mozilla.org? [15:31] bullgard, because mozilla is where gecko comes from [15:31] rocket16, I don't have /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [15:31] drizzt_: Can you log in to your System?

[15:34] i'm booted into a live cd and i'd like to activate an lvm group, i didn't see vgchange anywhere - does ubuntu not come w/ lvm? [15:34] w83: the one listed at the boot hang [15:34] Hi there, I've been using Emacs for 2 years and I really wish there was a "delete region" command in Ubuntu that doesn't copy to the clipboard. Can anyone tell me if there's such a command? [15:34] is it possible to hide linux partitions from Windows 7? [15:35] SteveThing: windows doesn't have an ext3 driver - so it is "hidden" by default [15:35] BigMao: no idea what you are talking about [15:36] mick_laptop, how do you delete regions in emacs? [15:36] BigMao: you don't want the copy buffer to copy when you highlight? [15:36] hello [15:36] SteveThing: hide? even windows knows howto read partition table, but there is ext2/3/4 fs drivers for windows so its shouldnt be problem [15:36] BigMao, Like, within emacs? [15:36] like visual in vim? [15:36] mick_laptop: it still see's the partition table [15:36] SteveThing: there was at some point ext2/3 driver for windows [15:36] Or do you mean, inside gedit and so on? [15:36] mick_laptop, I highlight by setting a mark and then moving the cursor [15:36] that doesn't copy to the copy buffer [15:37] the copy is performed when I actually kill the region [15:37] simplexio: ah then it is osx that i'm thinking of (that ext3 driver has been broken for years) [15:37] simplexio: i thought there was a way to prevent windows from seeing a partition... and vice versa [15:37] i need help diagnosing my sound on unr will someone please help? when i first start unr, at the login screen, i have sound but after i log in i only have sound with headphones, how do i fix this? [15:37] haakon-ubuntard, this is in Emacs [15:38] SteveThing: that is really a windows question. how do you hide a partition from windows [15:38] thought maybe there was a way to do it via grub [15:38] BigMao: M-x delete-region.... [15:38] surgy: run alsamixer [15:38] You can always bind it to another key, if you want to. :) [15:38] surgy: something is probably muted [15:39] haakon-ubuntard, thanks. :) I think I will bind it, I'm frankly a bit surprised that it isn't a default binding [15:39] so what about my lvm question? :) [15:39] BigMao: You have an unlimited kill-ring anyway, so you'd just C-y, and then M-y until you found the killed text you were looking for anyway... [15:40] mick_laptop: just run the command "alsamixer" ? [15:40] surgy: [15:40] Open up a terminal and run it. [15:40] It's a CLi program [15:40] surgy: then unmute it from there [15:40] How do I substitute my own build of an application (which is installed in a non-standard location) for a package (P1) that another package depends on (P2) ? [15:41] Need more swap space. Shall I just create a swap file or resize my existing swap partition? [15:41] mdmkolbe: install your own build using checkinstall so apt-get knows about it [15:41] haakon-ubuntard, gotcha; I actually haven't used that functionality before. (cue laugh track) [15:41] LucidGuy: just add more RAM [15:41] I think I activated it by accident in the past [15:41] but never really took advantage of it [15:42] BigMao: Have you installed emms yet? Just to annoy people who use vi? [15:42] well i'll see you all later [15:42] wow, emacs to play media files? I admit I haven't [15:43] I wouldn't be using it very often since I'm usually running an older version of emacs on a remote server .. but I am reinstalling the server in a month or so [15:43] I'll make sure to put it on there. ;) [15:43] It's actually fairly decent. And those days when you boot your laptop to a tty only to save battery, you suddenly still have music. [15:43] mick_laptop : kewl thanks man will it stay unmuted? [15:43] surgy: Yes, it will. [15:43] ok I guess that reinstall [15:43] haakon-ubuntard, that's pretty sweet. Emacs is one of these things where it'll take longer than a lifetime to figure out all the things it's capable of [15:44] well, to be honest, they're probably adding features more quickly than I'm learning about them [15:44] I'm working with my menus, In my internet menu id like to put all my browsers under a submenu, how can i do it so i dont have to manually enter all the info for each one? it wont let me drag and drop [15:44] Emacs is an operating system, and Linux is it's device driver-. [15:45] nothing worked and I dunno how to revert to older kernel [15:45] wher is local host in ubuntu? [15:45] haakon-ubuntard: ok kewl my next question is, i have a 47.7 watt battery and when its fully charged (about 46 watts) i can unplug it and it will say the battery is criticly low and then suspend. if i then wake the computer without plugging it in it will show a full battery and everything is good, how do you fix this? [15:45] VCoolio: using checkinstall would be hard to make work as the application is build as part of a suite of applications managed by a non-apt build system (Godi, the O'Caml build system). I'm not sure I can tease out just the parts that build the app. (Though I guess I could make an empty package with checkinstall.) [15:45] haakon-ubuntard, that's not the first time I've heard that. I'm starting to believe it. :D [15:45] are there any cli programs that do checksumming similar to credit card check sums, or crc? [15:46] VCoolio: also is that going to let me substitute my package for the standard one? [15:46] gp5st, md5sum might be what your looking for? [15:46] Hello, I have something bad with ubuntu server, then i try to access file myip/testing.php () it works, but if only myip/ it wont show index file, just give ne a download something phtml file with random name... What to do? Can someone help for me please? [15:46] wher is local host in ubuntu [15:46] bihari: 127.0.0.1 [15:46] surgy: 1: Watt is a measure of how much energy is being spent in a given amount of time. Also, I have no idea on how to do that, sorry. You should look around for some ACPI wiki. [15:47] w83: apt-cache search kernel | grep image then pick one and install [15:47] mdmkolbe: installing both your own manually build thing and the repo package is a bad idea [15:47] bihari, /var/www [15:47] mdmkolbe: and it won't replace it, since your package manager doesn't know about the manually installed one [15:47] Dizkonnekted: no, i don't need a cryptographic one, just a short one to check for simple errors (I'm not worried about collisions, I'm more worried about people mistyping it in this situation) [15:47] ? [15:47] man, empathy is pretty much useless as an irc client, isn't it. All this scrolling with join/part and you cannot scroll back because it keeps scrolling to the bottom with output [15:47] BitMao: It's rather true though: It has games, web-browsers (yes, plural), irc, I think I saw a torrent elisp package somewhere, multimedia, video editing, music editing, and so on. It even has a port of vi. [15:47] mbeierl: yes [15:48] mbeierl: I use xchat [15:48] i am affraid that apt cache could be empty ;( [15:48] mdmkolbe: maybe you can point towards the non-standard location by setting the pkgconfig variable, but I can't really help there [15:48] haakon-ubuntard: yeah i was using watts to make sure that my battery isnt shot but it does indeed hold 5 hours worth of energy [15:48] yes xchat and xchat gnome have always served me well [15:48] Galerien: I used pidgin but when i re-installed i went to 10.04 and decided to give empathy a try :) [15:48] mbeierl: just install xchat and be done with it. :) Unless you're a CLi enthusiast, in which case, go with Irssi [15:49] gp5st, oh sorry, thats beyond me, your looking for a very specific app, have you had no luck with google? [15:49] irc is an afterthought in pidgin and empathy [15:49] thanks, all :) [15:49] Watt has nothing to do with battery capacity, only with how much of the energy is being discharged/second. [15:49] CAPcap: actually irc works quite well in pidgin [15:49] I have no idea how to fix your issue though, but you might want to check if it does the same on other OS's. [15:49] Dizkonnekted: just tried a bit and didn't see anything; yeah luhn and crc16 or crc32 would work for my application [15:49] mbeierl, yes it works fine, i just dont like the interface at all [15:50] haakon-ubuntard: lol your telling me that you cant measure the capacity of a battery with watts? [15:50] CAPcap: ah, got it. [15:50] Surgy: If it acts weirdly on MS Windows, for instance, you can be fairly certain that it's not a software problem. And yes, you cannot measure the capacity of a battery in watts. You can measure how much energy it can feed your computer per second though. [15:51] can anyone help me with a link to a resource on how to install or start the ubuntu installer from within an already installed ubuntu, hopefully using web archives and repos? [15:51] anyways, thanks for the help guys\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ [15:51] surgy: maybe you are thinking of watt-hours ? [15:51] or watt-some-unit-of-time [15:51] surgy, i believe battery are capacity is measured in ampHours ? [15:51] ali_, So you want to use a running ubuntu system to install ubuntu on a 2nd hard drive? [15:51] jrib: yeah your right [15:51] Anyone around who has any idea how to deal with audio conflicts? [15:51] I'm working with my menus, In my internet menu id like to put all my browsers under a submenu, how can i do it so i dont have to manually enter all the info for each one? it wont let me drag and drop [15:52] Whatever program I open first upon logging in locks my sound to that program. [15:52] The onyl exception being phonon-based programs (dragon player/amarok). If one of those gets locked, I can use both at the same time. [15:52] frxstrem: lynx [15:52] edbian, no, I want to install on the same hard drive... maybe set up the installer in a separate partition and make grub boot it, then when ubuntu installs, change that partition to allocated space or swap space since I got 2 gb ram [15:52] spolstra: scroll down ;) [15:53] edbian, I meant after, not when [15:53] airtonix: and amp-hours multiplied by voltage equals watt-hours jrib was right i stand corrected [15:53] how i intall chrome on ubuntu? [15:53] there isn't on synaptic [15:54] foo_fighter, there's chromium [15:54] foo_fighter, just go to google chomes website. it'll download a .deb package for you and it'll install nicely :) [15:54] ali_: i installed this [15:54] cksum seems to do a crc32 [15:54] ali_, If you already have ubuntu installed on a hard drive why do you want to run an installer at all? (regardless of if it is running from that same HD or a CD or something) [15:54] thanks CAPcap [15:54] :) [15:54] Anyone around who has any idea how to deal with audio conflicts? [15:54] why is Rhythmbox so HIDEOUSLY inefficient at playback? [15:55] Whatever program I open first upon logging in locks my sound to that program. [15:55] The onyl exception being phonon-based programs (dragon player/amarok). If one of those gets locked, I can use both at the same time. [15:55] foo_fighter, http://tools.google.com/chrome [15:55] it's using 8% CPU right now [15:55] that's totally unacceptable [15:55] edbian, I'm on an Asus EEE with Ubuntu 8.04 and I want to replace it with Xubuntu 9.10 [15:55] hello [15:55] edbian, And was looking for a quicker way out since I lost my 4GB Flash Drive [15:56] where do I find network manager's applet configuration files? I need to recover my wifi password :) [15:56] Imperion, 8% cpu at playback is nice [15:56] edbian, I'm only asking because I know it is possible since I read an article once but I can't find the bookmark now [15:56] Noiano: The password should be in your keyring. [15:56] Oer: I hope that's sarcasm [15:56] ali_: Stop whatever you're doing, and find a USB flash device that's big enough to hold an ISO. [15:56] ali_, And I don't know how to bootstrap the installer so I need help [15:57] hello [15:57] no sarcasm, i really think it is a good value [15:57] I'm playing FLACs, which take <1.5% to play on MPlayer [15:57] Imperion, there lots of other media players. if you dont like Rhythmbox try another [15:57] ali_: Then, download the iso, and unetbooting, and use unetbooting to make a bootable Flash drive. [15:57] micsoda? [15:57] my GDM doesn't show user list and crashes when I'm trying to login (Lucid) [15:57] ali_, Ahhh! Now that all makes sense. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without%20CD [15:57] Pici, the problem is that I copy the whole home dir to an usb stick and I made a clean ubuntu install... I'd like to recover the network manager's config [15:57] haakon-ubuntard, What about if I get an external HDD? I plan on spending money on something that has more capacity/$. [15:57] Make sure your BIOS is set to boot from USB though. [15:57] edbian, It does? ^_^ [15:57] how do you change file type associations in Lucid? I'm tryin to switch all media playing to VLC. [15:57] ali_, You can also use unetbootin which might bake it easier [15:58] ali_, Nevermind, check out the link. [15:58] CAPcap: I like Rhythmbox for itself [15:58] External HDDs can also be used, but everyone have a USB flash drive somewhere. [15:58] I'm working with my menus, In my internet menu id like to put all my browsers under a submenu, how can i do it so i dont have to manually enter all the info for each one? it wont let me drag and drop [15:58] but ALSA is horrendously inefficient [15:58] i like Rhytmbox with an extra 10band-equaliser [15:58] it takes 4% for playback of any kind of audio [15:59] Oer, I use banshee [15:59] and GStreamer desperately needs to implement its MP3 decoder using libmpg123 [15:59] Imperion: If you really need as sleek as possible, then just install mp3blaster and be done with it... :p [15:59] !defaultapp | iantlopp [15:59] iantlopp: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [15:59] edbian, I've had problems with unetbootin generated boot drives every time I used it but most of the times it worked [15:59] haakon-ubuntard: if I want to just play MP3s, I use mpg123 [15:59] Imperion: how much CPU do you propose it should consume? [15:59] helo: which? [15:59] ali_, Yeah, it's a little quarky I agree [16:00] alsa? [16:00] Hello everybody! I am curently running ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Latitude D520 Laptop. Today, I download the greenp0ison pre-alpha code from http://github.com/chronicdev/cyanide and unziped it to my desktop. Since there was no configure or autogen.sh file, and there was a makefile, I just ran make. Make failed with an error code. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/s65qa86R shows the output at my terminal at the time being. What should I do from [16:00] here in order to compile the program? [16:00] Imperion: It's at about 5-6% at my netbook, which is an ATOM ffs. [16:00] helo: <1% [16:00] for some reason, i could not solve my issue. I am gonna have to reinstall === rene is now known as Guest62101 [16:00] haakon-ubuntard: and I have a piece of 7-year old tech [16:00] jrib: it just adds that application to the rightclick context menu, it doesn't force it to open in that program... [16:00] my system is not playing any video file. [16:00] your atom is probably faster [16:00] iantlopp: read more carefully, did you remember to click PROPERTIES? [16:00] neither Totem nor VLC [16:00] 2003 Intel/AMD >> Intel Atom. [16:01] how can I verify that my kernel is 64-bit mode? [16:01] how many cores/GHz per core? [16:01] I try to see properties for .avi file... the properties does not open === Skywalker is now known as Guest15144 [16:01] ??? [16:01] blue_anna: run uname -a [16:01] jrib: wow, I feel like a jerk... I'm used to people bowling over my advice for the same reason... heh... [16:01] Hello everybody! I am curently running ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell Latitude D520 Laptop. Today, I download the greenp0ison pre-alpha code from http://github.com/chronicdev/cyanide and unziped it to my desktop.

[16:01] Imperion: I think unless you have custom overclocking software or some very recent AMD processors, all of them run at the same clockspeed [16:02] jrib: works a treat, thanks very much... [16:02] iantlopp: don't worry, that happens almost everytime I give someone that factoid [16:02] Imperion: My Atom is a 1.6ghz single core processor, that is weaker than the 900mhz celeron it repalced... :p [16:02] heh [16:02] *replaced. [16:02] haakon-ubuntard: that tells me powerpc64 -- but how do I verify that this was actually compiled in 64bit mode? because that's just a hand-coded text line [16:02] 2.8GHz of bulk with 1280MB RAM [16:02] and the graphics card is unsupported by ATI [16:03] yeah, hell is warm [16:03] haakon-ubuntard: there's no other options for the powerpc kernel, and most powerpcs are not 64 bit, so that would be a problem [16:03] jrib: does that also work with windows programs through wine? [16:03] iantlopp: it should [16:03] uname -a tells you which kernel type you are currently runnign. [16:03] *running. [16:03] i hope so... Vuze has me.... the nice words would be, somewhat agitated... must use utorrent again. [16:03] also, did I mention how crappy the implementation of R300 acceleration is? [16:04] So if it says PPC-64 bit (PS3?) then you have a 64 bit PPC kernel running. [16:04] Imperion: do a less [16:04] haakon-ubuntard: So does uname -r [16:04] iantlopp: you might have to create some sort of wrapper if it doesn't. I don't think I've ever tried passing arguments to programs run through wine though [16:04] Imperion: less /proc/cpuinfo [16:04] blue_anna: on what? [16:04] blue_anna: and? [16:04] so far, utorrent, and one other app are the ONLY apps from Windows I feel compelled to still run [16:04] iantlopp: Why not just use Transmission? [16:04] blue_anna: I'm not asking any questions about my processor speed [16:04] i can't open this station : http://www.redfm.gr/listen.php?category_id=42 ..........could anyone tell me what i have to do to listen from this stream? [16:05] urrg. Skype4pidgin in the repos for 10.04 is broken :( [16:05] I'm working with my menus, In my internet menu id like to put all my browsers under a submenu, how can i do it so i dont have to manually enter all the info for each one? it wont let me drag and drop [16:05] Imperion: I thought you asked about clock speed per core and number of cores. that's what's in cpuinfo [16:05] um [16:05] I asked haakon-ubuntard [16:05] rtorrent and be happy =) [16:05] how do I install security updates only? [16:05] haakon-ubuntard: Linux quad-g5 2.6.32-21-powerpc64-smp #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 10:28:57 UTC 2010 ppc64 GNU/Linux -- the ppc64 is the relevant part? :) thank you for verifying that [16:05] how do remove kde or fluxbox from linux? [16:05] haakon: certain trackers hate transmission. [16:06] blue-anna: Yes, that would be the type of processor. It's not the same as AMD-64 though. [16:06] ok heres my problem. my wireless connection worked last week but is not working this week. it is not showing any available networks or able to manually connect to a 'hidden' network. iwlist scan shows no scan results. here is ifconfig: http://pastie.org/987340 iwconfig: http://pastie.org/987346 and lshw (see line 256): http://pastie.org/987351 . Any ideas?? [16:06] haakon: and I don't particularly care for the gui... utorrent has so much more information readily available without having to open the properties of a torrent, etc.. [16:06] annoying [16:06] What about ktorrent? [16:06] the floating GNOME info boxes are [16:06] haakon-ubuntard: oo but tht's the processor :) I know I have ppc64 cores :) I need to know about the kernel [16:07] haakon: haven't messed with it... from what I've read the "big torrent apps" are azureus (now vuze - oh how I loathe thee), bittorrent itself, and utorrent... [16:07] which moron designed them without including a way to get make them go away? [16:07] blue_anna: uname -r [16:07] my axe and I have a score to settle [16:07] blue_anna: uname -a pastes information about your kernel, not your processor. [16:07] Imperion: I was thinking the same thing... hasn't bothered me as much though, but yeah, why can't they be turned off? [16:07] uname -r just prints version though... [16:08] the_student_: haakon-ubuntard you guys see the line I pasted? that was the full uname -a .. I'm not asking if the cores are 64bit.. I'm asking if my kernel is actually 64 bit [16:09] How can i customize my ubuntu desktop further than conky? [16:09] blue_anna: if you just want to know what version of the kernel you're currently running, uname -m does that. And yes, your kernel is 64 bit. My uname reports i686, for instance, even though I have an AMD64 processor for instance. [16:09] Hey i think my compiz is causing me unable to boot into ubnuut [16:09] and I'm not entirely sure that the tag they wrote "powerpc64" is accurate because there isn't a non-64 bit alternative in synaptic [16:09] iantlopp, if your looking for a torrent client you might want to take a look at Deluge [16:09] well can someone help me out? I used recovery mode and am now in root console [16:09] The Linux kernel thinks it's powerpc kernel. I do not claim to know better than the kernel. [16:09] Dizkonnekted, looking up ktorrent and a couple of others now, will add that to the list of ones to check out. [16:10] ok thx guys [16:10] disappearedng, What are you trying to do? [16:10] disappearedng: try startx to start the xserver. [16:10] no luck today - reinstall tmr [16:10] hay peolpe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:11] rocket16: sorry i was afk, yes i did all this. ICEauth is removed. i also get the login screen and can login but then i am stuck again. there is still the error message: 'can not update ICE authority' and 'gconf-sanity-check-2 results in status 256' and then nautilus cannot mount home folder ... ' do i maybe have to change permissions somwhere? [16:11] ok how do I completely remove compiz? (apt-get --purge remove compiz compiz-core ? ) [16:11] haakon-ubuntard: ok. I ... thank you. the rason the i686 tag is there instead of something specific to your processor is because the tags in uname are just hand-specified tags. you can make them whatever you want when you compile it. ubuntu chose powerpc64-smp for my kernel package, and i686 for you. but there is no "guaranteed" relation between any text there and the binary mode fo the kernel [16:11] Hi, I need some help relating to the mail functions under ubuntu [16:11] can anyone help me out [16:11] ?? [16:11] blue_anna: I have an AMD64 processor, running an i686 kernel. === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [16:11] !ask | anishseth [16:11] anishseth: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

I was trying to understand how the mail functions under UBUNTU works, for example one can send emails using sendmail under Linux, but doesn't it need a SMTP connection.

[16:15] sorry [16:15] ok [16:16] IIRC, xorg should then create a new xorg.conf and try to work itself out. [16:16] ouch, deluge is 35MB in size... [16:16] If it doesn't work, just mv it back, and you're good again. [16:16] It appears the Brother Printer "Cups Wrapper" comes pre-installed in ubuntu... can anyone verify that? [16:16] taking a long time to load [16:16] works [16:16] thx [16:16] i think it's gotta be compiz that's messing my card up [16:17] hello all \o looking to find a way to run 2 commands should my ubuntu machine restart in the middle of the night. I don't know where to put the 2 commands for this to happen, I've tried /etc/rc.local but that doesn't seem to be looked at like most other linux distros during boot time. Any suggestions? [16:17] anyone have a good amount of experience with compiz tweaking? === Dizkonnekted is now known as Diz-Away [16:18] xomp: what commands exactly? /etc/rc.local *is* looked at [16:18] xomp: /etc/rc ? [16:18] !away > Diz-Away [16:18] Diz-Away, please see my private message [16:18] Please could you name a text editor that has shows me the line numbers? It would be really useful as I need it to modify some .c files of my drivers. [16:18] xomp: use the revoot directive [16:18] hello [16:18] *@reboot [16:18] why Conky closes when I right click the desktop [16:18] ubuntubeginner13: gedit shows line numbers [16:19] ubuntubeginner13: Try SciTE if gedit doesn't work for you. [16:19] jrib, /usr/bin/spawn-fcgi -a 127.0.0.1 -p 9000 -u www-data -g www-data -f /usr/bin/php5-cgi -P /var/run/fastcgi-php.pid [16:19] and /etc/init.d/nginx start are the commands [16:19] ubuntubeginner13: gedit has line numbers [16:19] (sudo apt-get install scite) [16:19] jrib, I'm trying to follow a thread on ubuntu forums about how to fix broadcom drivers...tried with gedit but it doesn't show me the lines...maybe there is an option which I forgot. [16:19] 'service nginx start' [16:19] Thank you very much disappearedng and haakon-ubuntard! [16:20] ubuntubeginner13: there should be an option in the settings, yes [16:20] man my xorg KEEPS dying [16:20] xomp: did you add them before the "exit 0" line? [16:20] uLinux: possibly change 'own_window_type' to normal [16:20] Where exactly is this option? I'm trying to get a screenshot to help him, and I can't find it. [16:21] jrib, before the exit 0 line [16:21] Found it... Whoops. [16:21] bastidrazor, im gonna join #conky [16:21] there are four effects in compiz that significantly slow down the system (or a combination of 1 or more of them... is there anything that can be done about them? Window Decorations, Move Windows, Place Windows, and Resize Windows. [16:21] uLinux: good luck [16:21] It's in edit, user options or whatever, and then choose show line-numbers. [16:21] apparently in the last LTS compiz didn't cause as much of a draw in system resources. [16:21] jrib, I found it. For those of you who don't know, go to Edit>Preferences>Display line numbers. Thank you for telling me and excuse me. I should have look first. [16:21] ubuntubeginner13, haakon-ubuntard: edit -> preferences -> line numbers [16:21] Now I'm a bit embarrased. [16:21] jrib, Yes:P [16:21] jrib, http://pastebin.com/r3hM7wjR is my rc.local [16:22] jrib, can u help me in solving my dns client problem? [16:22] jrib: is there any benefit to gedit over scite? I've always liked scite [16:22] iantlopp: I don't know, I use vim and never tried scite [16:22] It's preinstalled and.... That's about it. [16:22] jrib, and anytime my system reboots I'm having to SSH into it and issue the 2 commands in the rc.local to get things back up and running. That's why I feel rc.local isn't looked at during the bootup process heh [16:22] xomp: redirect stdout and stderr somewhere [16:23] test [16:23] tgywa: I don't know much about it, try the channel [16:23] jrib, sorry, I know not how to do that. I'm not a linux buff really. [16:23] personally prefer notepad++ but as that will never be linux, I'm willing to ditch it for scite (as it was originally based on scite, iirc) [16:23] iantlopp: You could always just learn emacs and be happy forever after anyway... :p Still, SciTE is pretty much the best small text editor available. [16:24] geany fo life dog [16:24] xomp: ok hold on. I'm not familiar with either of these programs. Are you sure nginx isn't started automatically anyway? [16:24] -_- [16:24] haakon-ubuntard, By any chance to you know how to compile the code with make?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390979 I'm trying to make my wireless card work under ubuntu [16:24] haakon: actually intend to learn vi for..... batch processing reasons. [16:24] * jrib can't wait for the first linux virus that replaces all text editor binaries with vi [16:25] jrib, fairly sure, I mean my host had an issue and my machine apparently got restarted last night and my websites were down heh [16:25] haakon-ubuntard, I'm stucked at step 3:) [16:25] iantlopp: *starts foaming at the mouth* HERESY!!! :p [16:25] xomp: what ubuntu version? [16:25] jrib, vi is for sadists [16:25] jrib, 10.04 [16:25] * jrib proudly stands up [16:25] airtonix: actually I think you're mixed up... it's for masochists :) [16:25] * helo registers a "VIM FTW" vanity plate [16:25] ubuntubeginner13: what error does it report? [16:26] haakon-ubuntard, No error, I modified line 35 but I don't know what to compile... [16:26] haakon-ubuntard, and how [16:26] you open a terminal [16:26] Then you navigate to the folder you extracted the tarball to. [16:26] can anybody help me? i want to update os from 8.04 to the newest version? is there a way to do it without uninstalling ect? :/ [16:27] xomp: find /etc/rc* -name '*nginx*' [16:27] Okay. This is getting ridiculous. Fresh install of 10.04. Audio doesn't work for more than one program at a time. Removed pulseaudio. Still doesn't work solely with alsa. Any ideas? [16:27] bastidrazor, changed window type to normal and own window to no now it's better [16:27] There should be a readme file there detailing how to go from there. [16:27] ubuntubeginner13: Wait a sec, let me check the source... :) [16:27] uLinux: nice, conky is awesome. [16:27] bastidrazor, i can download configs right [16:27] haakon_ubuntard: have you given me up? [16:27] jrib, http://pastebin.com/BJDjStxq [16:27] uLinux: mind taking a screenshot of yours? .. yes you can [16:28] irssi is awesome [16:28] haakon-ubuntard, Thanks, I am desperate to fix my wireless issue and found that guide and maybe I can get it working. [16:28] ubuntubeginner13:http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt [16:28] anybody know a way to update os from 8.4 to newest one without uninstalling? [16:28] bastidrazor, mine is just default lol [16:28] I did all the steps till 3- from there I don't know how to compile :P [16:28] Tells you how to compile. [16:28] mistii: why not just move your home folder somewhere and do a fresh install [16:29] xomp: nginx should be starting anyway. Do your websites rely on spawn-fcgi to be running? Could just that not be starting? [16:29] uLinux: this is mine.. http://imagebin.org/99408 [16:29] mistii: you will encounter less problems doing that [16:29] haakon-ubuntard, Thanks I hope I will get it to work [16:29] to be honest. i have been uninstalling and reinstalling and its a bit of a pain. i heard u could just update the os. without uninstalling. is that true? [16:29] jrib, yeah it relies on spawn-fcgi [16:29] im okay with problems. lol [16:29] haakon-ubuntard: have you given me up? [16:29] mistii: I second urthmover's suggestion... upgrades are a pain in the neck in the long run. [16:29] ubuntubeginner13: open a shell, and cd to the folder you uncompressed the archive to. then enter "sudo make && sudo install" [16:29] That should work. [16:30] haakon-ubuntard, Ok I will do it right now [16:30] Okay. ThFresh install of 10.04. Audio doesn't work for more than one program at a time. Removed pulseaudio. Still doesn't work solely with alsa. Any ideas? [16:30] Bleh. That's what I get for copy/pasting. Fragments... [16:30] Razion, what's your sound setup? [16:30] haakon-ubunutard: Not sure what you mean. Trying to run it all through a USB headset. [16:31] uLinux: i can give you my conkyrc if you wish. i'm sure it'll take a bit of tweaking to get to your needs but it is a good start. [16:31] Axident_ I'm sorry, I had no idea you were talking to me, [16:31] bastidrazor, n1 [16:31] mistii: I have never been comfortable living with an upgraded OS....its like a trust thing....I can't be confident that I haven't broken or changed something in the past.....forgotten about it...and then it manifests itself in wierd ways in the future [16:31] mistii: you will be saving yourself alot of headaches and time by moving your home folder and installing a fresh OS [16:31] haakon-ubuntard, sudo make && sudo install and the filename? [16:32] haakon-ubuntard, or just sudo make && sudo install [16:32] just sudo make && sudo install [16:32] I've tried to setup a pptp vpn server in ubuntu 10.04 and successfully reached it from a windows box and my cell phone but no dns available, i want just to know as how to add dns support for this vpn ? if anybody can adivce [16:32] ubuntubeginner13: usually make && sudo make install [16:32] Axident_: Have you asked me something? I cannot see any questions directed at me. [16:32] Thank you blue_anna and haakon-ubuntard.. [16:33] How do I change the scroll speed of my mouse wheel? [16:33] haakon-ubunutard: Okay. What the hell. Should've checked that...Turns out, I can play multiple programs audio...But the ones that I play second come out of the bloody soundcard instead of the USB headset. Help? xD [16:33] haakon-ubuntard, It gave me an error...I see some lines then some errors:) [16:33] haakon-ubuntard: you were spot on earlier thank you -- but my system is the exception that proves the rule [16:33] haakon-ubuntard, should I make a pastebin? [16:34] pastebin is always good. [16:34] xomp: ok, go ahead and remove the nginx line from rc.local. And to your spawn-fastcgi line, append: > /root/rc.local_was_run 2>&1 [16:34] what commands can I use to force myself out of startx if startx just hangs? [16:34] haakon-ubuntard: file /sbin/init says it's 32 bit. but my uname -a has ppc64 GNU/Linux [16:34] blue_anna: which system do you run exactly? A PS3? An old Macintosh from back when they were unique and different? [16:34] ctrl+c disappearedng [16:34] disappearedng: ctl+alt+F1 through F6 [16:35] disappearedng: that's the console [16:35] disappearedng: ctl+alt+F8 to come back to x [16:35] none of that worked [16:35] restart? [16:35] Where on X are you? [16:35] Did it start at all? [16:35] I booted into recovery [16:35] haakon-ubuntard, http://pastebin.com/FT8buCkL [16:35] then startx [16:35] That's the most important question. [16:35] the first time it did [16:35] then I uninstalled compiz and compiz-core [16:35] haakon-ubuntard: an old mac yeah -- a quad G5 [16:35] and then subseequently nothing worked [16:35] haakon-ubuntard, This is what I get when runing that command. [16:36] ubuntubeginner13: It's complaining about a missing header file... I have NO idea why. [16:36] Wait two secs. === ericm_ is now known as ericm-Zzz [16:36] any comment ?? [16:37] disappearedng: do you have a second computer that is networked together? [16:37] haakon-ubuntard, I found out what I need to do [16:37] this computer [16:37] haakon-ubuntard, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [16:37] haakon-ubuntard, neah, false alarm, doesn't help:| [16:38] It's looking for .o files, which aren't there. [16:38] do you suggest I intall compiz-core and compiz and then startx? [16:38] But the readme did claim that there were drivers available from the repos. [16:38] haakon-ubuntard: can you get to a console at all? [16:38] oop [16:38] disappearedng: can you get to a console at all [16:38] I can, but I don't think you mean me... :p [16:38] I can [16:38] ok :) so thanks for your opinions, is it worth it getting 10.4? any different from 8.4? is there a windows installer. you know the easier version you can install on the Drive? thanks :D [16:38] hi. I wanted to check out zeitgeist + docky integration but I don't think zeitgeist is working properly? any good docs out there? [16:39] haakon-ubuntard, Sadly :( I can [16:39] disappearedng: cool - reinstall the stuff you uninstalled and reboot [16:39] ok [16:39] haakon-ubuntard, I can't seem to get my broadcom card working even with this tutorial. [16:39] should I schedule for fsck ? [16:39] disappearedng: I'd suggest you run sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [16:39] haakon-ubuntard, Is there a way to contact ubuntu developers? [16:39] hi ppl [16:39] Yes, via launchpad, IIRC. [16:39] haakon-ubunutard: Okay. What the hell. Should've checked that...Turns out, I can play multiple programs audio...But the ones that I play second come out of the bloody soundcard instead of the USB headset. Help? xD [16:39] haakon-ubuntard: what is that [16:39] disappearedng: probably it's fine at that level, this is just a user-space app [16:39] !developer [16:39] Want to become an Ubuntu developer? Look at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newdev and the Wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com) for involvement in specific projects such as Kubuntu or Xubuntu.

[16:40] Can anyone help me? [16:40] haakon-ubuntard: All are set to prefer the USB headset first. [16:40] VCoollo: yeah docky with the zeitgeist helper [16:40] Pici, I'm having problems with hardware drivers. I instaled my broadcom driver, it's active but wireless doesn't work. [16:41] ubuntubeginner13: Their irc channel is not for support questions. [16:41] any difference on 10.4 os. might consider dropping 8.4? [16:41] Pici, Well were do I need to try get this issue fix? [16:41] !developers [16:41] Pici, Other people have problems with the broadcom driver too... [16:41] mistii: more up-to-date software, longer support [16:41] HELP [16:41] mistii: Yeah, well, newer everything, purple themes, upstart replaces init.d, and GRUB2 [16:41] if anyone see my link or posted a reply please inform me here [16:41] Pici, 9.10 worked fine but 10.04 is not capable of runing wireless....with broadcom cards [16:42] mistii: timeboot divided by 5 [16:42] ooooo nice. ok one last question. anybody got android visualization on their os? [16:43] Pici, Have any suggestions? I really want to get wireless running on my laptop. === ryaxnbuntu is now known as ryaxnb [16:43] ubuntubeginner13: What exactly did you do on 9.10 then? [16:43] ubuntubeginner13: I cannot help you at this time, as I have not personally setup this card. I'm just telling you that the developer channel is not going to help you either. [16:43] my problem is at this address http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-users/2010-05/msg02952.html [16:44] ubuntubeginner13, I can safely say ubuntu 10.04 works fine with broadcom cards... or it can... my system has no problems with it... [16:44] I have sound coming from multiple outputs. I need it all to be on my USB headset. Any ideas? [16:44] xomp: once you do that, reboot and check /root/rc.localwasrun [16:44] haakon-ubuntard, Wireless worked there ...but I had to upgrate to LTS, I grabbed a dvd burned a coppy of amd64 ..check it for error then did a fresh install [16:44] jrib, got it going now thanks :D [16:44] only issue was getting online in the first place so that it could detect, and autodownload the proper driver for the broadcom card (had to connect via wire for that) === CuriosWrk is now known as CuriosTiger [16:44] haakon-ubuntard, everything works except wireless even if I already installed the drivers and laptop has wireless enabled [16:44] channel irc.what.cd [16:44] Pici, Thanks anyway Pici [16:44] connect irc.what.cd [16:45] though I'm not running amd64 version... my system wouldn't boot to it, sadly... I'd prefer to be running 64-bit, as this system is capable, and cinelerra prefers it [16:45] iantlopp, How did you get in to run? [16:45] iantlopp, Just a simple visit to hardware drivers ? [16:46] wait, did both install run amd64? [16:46] ubuntu: simpler... just connected the ethernet cord to the laptop and connected.. roughly 30 seconds later it asked me if I wanted to install the drivers for the broadcom card and my ati vid card. [16:46] anybody read me? :( [16:46] hey I have a problem with ubuntu 10.04 LTS. when starting up my laptop ubuntu does not load. If your wondering how im using it now, it is because im running my laptop in graphic safe mode in ubuntu 10.04 LTS. how can i get it so ubuntu starts up normally| [16:46] I told it yes, and all was well with the world... well minus the seeming inability to reconnect after a disconnect :( [16:46] adilalpman: I can see the words you've typed on the screen. [16:47] adilalpman: what's up? [16:47] ok lantloop dont beat me :) [16:47] ok [16:47] haakon-ubuntard, 9.10 was on 32 bit and 10.04 is on amd 64 [16:47] How much ram do you have= [16:47] *? [16:47] 4gb of ram [16:47] i have a problem till days with my soundcard SB-5.1-VX [16:47] and my problem is at this address http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-users/2010-05/msg02952.html [16:47] ok so I reinstalled compiz, moved all xorg.conf, and nothing works with startx [16:47] hy guys [16:47] can help me with an answer? [16:47] i send address because my lspci output link and all infos there [16:47] I'm going to get yelled at for saying this but... Run a 32-bit live cd and see if that works. And if it does, I have no idea why... [16:48] But it just might. [16:48] srry for my bad english [16:48] is there a way for me to drop to non -proprietary driver in console? [16:48] So. I have sound coming from multiple outputs. Some programs send it to the sound card, some send it to the USB headset. All are set for the headset...Any ideas? [16:48] haakon-ubuntard, Well there was one user today who was runing 32bit version and had the same problem as me. [16:48] haakon-ubuntard, I will try anyway to run a 32 bit and see. By the way is there any difference between the two? [16:48] i want to install xubuntu 64 bit [16:48] Yeah, but since 9.10 worked, maybe 10.04 works? [16:49] but i have an error when i wnat to boot [16:49] ubuntubeginner: You can have more ram. [16:49] Basically. [16:49] haakon-ubuntard, well will 32 bit see my 4 gb of ram? [16:49] There are other differences but they are not really noticeable. [16:49] lantloop:can u check my post? [16:49] ubuntubeginner32: If your processor supports PAE, it will. [16:49] my sistem is e5200 and 8 gb ddr2 [16:49] how do I tell my graphics card that I do not want to use proprietary driver anymore? [16:49] haakon-ubuntard, It is intel t4300 dual core [16:49] disappearedng: remove the package is one way I guess [16:50] haakon-ubuntard, Does it support PAE? :) [16:50] iantlopp : can u check the link? [16:50] ubuntubeginner13: with exactly 4gb of ram . some of it might not be seen. due to 'reserved' memory space for drivers/hardware [16:50] how can you change the color of the prompt in Terminal? [16:50] run cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae [16:50] and then you can see if anything lights up in red... If it does, it supports it. :) [16:50] Hi I have Windows XP SP3, and I want to install Ubuntu 10.04 (assuming it's the latest). I have burned the CD. I have two questions - 1) Can someone confirm it is really free 2) I hac 3GB RAM, how big should be the swap file? [16:50] Dr_Willis, I see [16:50] L_infty: check the bash prompt howto - it shows how to do that :) you use escape codes [16:51] KalEl: It's free as in free beer, and free as in free speech (mostly). You should have a swap disc at least as big as your ram. [16:51] haakon-ubuntard, I will try 32 bit version of 10.04 and see, maybe it will work and I will get my issue fixed. [16:51] adlalpman: sorry can't help you with that myself... there ought to be a few people here that should though :) [16:51] Thanks! [16:51] does anybody play assault cube [16:51] ubuntubeginner13: just try the liveCD, but don't install unless it works. [16:51] hj [16:51] KalEl: I have 1GB and its more than enough [16:51] KalEl: its a swap 'partition' if you do a normal isntall. not a swap file. [16:51] iantlopp: i cant understand :S [16:52] anybody play assault cube [16:52] hey ubuntu 10.04 wont startup for me. At the moment i am running it in graphics safe mode. this is after upgrading from 9.10. how can i sort this so it starts up normally? [16:52] haakon-ubuntard, Ok, I will...if this doesn't work either, is there any hope to get my broadcom bcm4312 runing? [16:52] do u mean try anynobdy to help me :) [16:52] KalEl: how i normally install is use windows to resize the existing windows partition. and leave part of the hd (at the end) unallocated, then boot from the cd. and tell the installer to use the unallocated space. and let it partition it [16:52] Thanks so for 3GB RAM, 1-3GB of swap partition is enough? [16:52] haakon-ubuntard, Or I am doomed !:)) [16:52] KalEl: is this a laptop? are you wanting to use hibernate/suspend? [16:52] ubuntubeginner13: Yes, but I haven't use it. What you might want to do though is just bite the sour apple, and install ndiswrapper and use windows drivers. [16:53] It's unelegant, but it works. [16:53] Dr_Willis, no it is a desktop - I do definitely wish to suspend (S3) but most likely not hibernate [16:53] haakon-ubuntard, ohh I checked ndiswrapper and it doesn't support my broadcom bcm4312 card. [16:53] hello [16:53] KalEl: then you want swap of at least your ram. I belive. [16:53] haakon-ubuntard, So:( ndiswrapper is stricked down. [16:53] KalEl: i find the hibernate/suspend so flakey (even under windows) that i never bother with it [16:54] You sure? [16:54] Alright thanks a lot guys! I think I am going to do it in the next hour! Please wish me luck [16:54] is transition capable of downloading directly to fileserver? [16:54] haakon-ubuntard, Yes I checked today. [16:54] kell: do you have the following file on your 10.04 system? --> /etc/X11/xorg.conf [16:54] haakon-ubuntard, I think I spent 10 hours trying it to get it work.... [16:54] In that case, I don't know how to fix it at all.

[17:34] counting down to destruction [17:34] terrid: ah, okay. then you can wait for someone more experienced to help you out. :) [17:34] is there a way to increase the mouse speed past whats available in the gui? its still way too slow [17:35] Can I move files using their full source path? like --parents in cp ? [17:35] helo: What? [17:35] but when i install kde with kubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu [17:35] reign2: get a better mouse, or increase its sensitivity [17:35] and i had same problem again [17:35] in gnome and in kde too [17:35] :A [17:35] :S [17:35] adilalpman: please stop pressing the enter key so often [17:35] its a $100 mouse :\ and no matter what I do, it's slow in ubuntu [17:35] any ideas with that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9393893#post9393893 [17:36] hello [17:36] reign2: what mouse? [17:36] g9x [17:36] onetinsoldier: I never thought of cli frontends to a cli program... heh [17:36] iantlopp: roger. that's one large difference. aptitude developer went for making an ncurses interface, apt-get did not. but both have been very useful over the years. in more recent history, some of their functionality has seemingly been merged together. my point is, they used to be more different from each other than they are nowadays [17:36] ahh I see.. [17:36] i will send out my enter key when i login here next time because many people said that to me :) [17:37] adilalpman: don't use the enter key as punctuation, at some point an opper might quiet you... or worse [17:37] to the end user, like myself, apt-get seems like a specific in-name-only variation of aptitude (i.e. it only does a couple of the commands of aptitude, but is otherwise does exactly the same thing)... almost like you have a program, and several cli commands to access different parts of it... [17:38] iantlopp: cheers :) [17:38] can anybody help me about my problem :( [17:38] http://paste.pocoo.org/show/220727/ anyone know what's wrong with my computer? can't boot into login screen [17:38] is there a way to use alt + backspace for the whole system? (e,g, in firefox and openoffice) and not only in bash? [17:38] for those of you who subscribe to netflix..If I create a windows xp VM with silverlight installed, will netflix video play smoothly in full screen? [17:38] iceroot: yes [17:38] * iantlopp needs to stop using elipses as punctuation... [17:38] onetinsoldier: cheers to what? [17:38] so I was organizing things on my menu, and I accidentally delete the menu to log out or shutdown. How do I get this menu back? [17:39] jrib: whats the way to enable it? [17:39] iantlopp: nothing i guess.. just saying cheers m8 [17:39] adilalpman, If I understand properly, your sound card doesn't make any sound at all? Or just makes funyn sounds? [17:39] * wonderboy just bought hp deskjet and it smoothly got regonized and printed test page.. [17:39] ahh, okay, thought I'd missed part of the convo there... heh [17:39] no [17:39] Sorry to repeat. I've got a an nvidia GTX 280 and 10.04 keeps telling me the composite extension is not available [17:39] just like a radio that cant found any channel :) [17:39] Anyone got any ideas?

I'll let you discover the key pieces :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/442873/ [17:39] I gotta admit, this community is a lot more helpful than other communities that I've been to (a primary reason I've switched over from another unnamed distro) [17:40] any ideas with that http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9393893#post9393893 [17:40] but its missing some lines.. even 24pt fonts are only half printed as in its missing horizontal lines [17:40] itguru [17:40] jrib: thx i will pick the interesting parts :) [17:40] imperfect-, have you installed the proprietary nvidia driver? [17:40] * iantlopp grumbles, "still wish I could have iceweasel on my system though" [17:40] any idea how to solve it? btw 72pt color line just printed well.. [17:40] mc__: Yes. [17:40] imperfect-: clean install? or did you upgrade form earlier version of ubuntu? [17:40] * itguru hopes that no jury in the world will convict him for throwing a windows user out a second floor window for clicking on a fake email for the second time today [17:41] itguru: well it depends on how you present it to the jury... just give them all windows laptops with some... fun e-mail :) [17:41] imperfect-, so you try to start compiz manually and get some kind of error? may you post exaclty what you get?

[17:42] for those of you who subscribe to netflix..If I create a windows xp VM with silverlight installed, will netflix video play smoothly in full screen? [17:42] any idea? [17:42] but i dont know how can i do that [17:42] * itguru rolls out XP SP1 on six laptops -- I'm home free baby! [17:42] adilalpman, why would you want to do that? [17:42] anyone good with ATI drivers ?! [17:42] oracle2: It plays mostly smoothly here at 1920x1080. [17:42] oracle2: my guess would be it depends on your system [17:42] if some application does not support pulseaudio you might run into trouble [17:42] because i can use my soundcard perfectly with pulse in ubuntu gnome and in pardus, too [17:42] Pici: thnaks [17:43] mc__: I just try to turn on the standard/extra effects from the gui and it locked up saying the composite extensions aren't available [17:43] elhagrasy, soreau is one I trust with ati [17:43] adilalpman: I thought pulse takes over all the sound anyway [17:43] then the gi locked up and I have to xkik it, I can show you later when I get home for sure [17:43] jrib: if i had 1.5 Gb host ram and allocated 512MB memory to the VM, would that be enough? [17:43] elhagrasy: i'm ok i guess. just state the issue and see if anyone has an idea [17:43] adilalpman, pulseaudio does not work on its own [17:43] adilalpman, it needs either alsa or oss [17:44] but i can use my soundcard with pulse in ubuntu and in pardus [17:44] oracle2: I don't have netflix, but you should probably compare with Pici to get some idea. Or see if they have some sort of sample you can try [17:44] can u see this link plz i explained everything in it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9393893#post9393893 [17:44] elhagrasy: give a summary in the channel please [17:44] any other details u want to know plz ask me [17:44] how can i config for one click open a folder ive looked cannot find [17:45] plz see this link jrib http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9393893#post9393893 [17:45] this is the sammary [17:45] oracle2: That sounds reasonable. I don't have access to the system that I use netflix on currently, but I'm using an XP install within virtualbox. [17:45] imperfect-, try running " compiz-decorator --replace" from a terminal, does that work?

[17:46] coz : i asked soreau thnx .. i hope to get my problem solved [17:46] how can i config for one click instead of double click a folder [17:46] elhagrasy: i took a look. you installed the .run file directly from ATI apparently. don't think i'll be of much help. sorry [17:46] drizzt_: I did. [17:47] bullgard: well the icon just tries to call yelp I imagine. Did you remove anything since installing the system? [17:47] jrib: I did not install the system from scratch but dist-upgraded it form 9.10. [17:48] jrib: I did not remove anything by hand.

I got ubuntu up in a livecd enviroment on a thumb drive but I am wondering if I can move the 3gb file from a disk to the live enviroment and burn it or would I need to install ubuntu onto the hard drive to do it.

[17:52] question: if I make a backup image of my computer as it is now, and restore it on another computer, will it work? [17:52] reign2: try just disabling the dimming.

Any idea on the actual command I need? I'm depserately trying to get this thing running... now. [18:10] Roasted_, sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart <-- will restart the service [18:10] it is the fixed drive with the the ubuntu installation that is not seen by the portable ubuntu version. The second fixed drive is still empty (does have partition table, but no data) [18:10] Razion: what's a program that's not outputing to system audio [18:10] any thoughts on this? [18:10] magnen, ha! thanks! [18:10] magnen, FML. its failing on me though.

I'm pulling together a wireless access plan and need to spec hardware, and want recs on access points that support heavy load and high numbers of sessions/connections. please PM me off channel. *thank you* [18:25] you have to either log out first and back in or just do a . ~/.bashrc [18:25] or . ~/.bash_profile depending on which you put it in [18:25] gbillings: what about using ctrl + l instead of clear or cls [18:25] iceroot: that will come in handy :) [18:25] onetinsoldier: yes so what is the default nvidia-* installed?

[18:33] mackolin ~ best is subjective. it all depends on who is talking [18:33] antivirtel: yes, but you'd need to install 'acroread', which first requires enabling the 'partner' repository [18:34] antivirtel: wut?

[20:13] F00bar80: so if your remote server is called fileserver on 10.44.2.254 then you will need to add that resolution in the hosts file. When you are on lan your router etc handle this but the remote network does not know this translation so you have to manually configure stuff [20:13] ActionParsnip, and how this may help in dns issue at the vpn clients ? [20:13] paddy_, there is a central router and I have no access to it... :( so I can't fwd the vnc ports to my machine specficially [20:13] brontosaurusrex It dont work too, it shows when moving file to /usr/local/bin a error has acured [20:13] code-shah you could get your work computer to initate the conection [20:13] paddy_, how do I do that?

[21:45] guys, i'm trying to upgrade karmic to lucid, i did aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade && aptitude dist-upgrade ... but no upgrade is done ! [21:45] Hey y'all I have a question. I downloaded the source for LMMS, but it wouldn't compile without a modification (It saeems a library has been updated and perhaps the patches haven't been in sync?) Where would I go to report this, LMMS's page? Some Ubuntu place? [21:45] Any idea why the "locale" command would hang? [21:45] blackstar, as long as the person has write permissions to the folder it is in... the file will be deletable regardless of owner [21:45] On the 10.04 download page, it says 64 bit is not recommended for daily desktop use. Why is that? [21:45] how should i proceed mates ? [21:45] jhaig: the race for faster boot times may have something to do with it. i have fuuny effects on some (slower) boxes with lucid and i suspect that it is a matter of boot scripts not running in the right order.... parallelization is hell of a complex task [21:46] kjele sorry i miss that [21:46] paissad: paste the output of your command to a pastebin somewhere, what's the error message?

[21:46] if I download an ubuntu iso and the hash verifies.... and then I burn that iso but when I run the check disk and the hash doesnt verify then the problem is my cd not the iso right? [21:46] blackstar in order to prevent them from deleting the file, you would have to restrict their ability to write their home directory. [21:47] blackstar, that being said, they can't change the contents of the file.. just delete it [21:47] ZenMasta: seems so, yeah [21:47] umm how can i sort this external hard drive out? every time i try to mount it it shows this error message: "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdg1 is already mounted on /media/ntfs mount failed" [21:47] is it safe to remove synaptic package manager and software center if i'm not gonna use it ? i like usig the terminal more [21:47] hello everybody [21:47] oooh ok thanks kassah [21:47] kassah: You can make a root owned folder then put the root owned file in there. Since the folde is not empty you cannot delete it. And since you do not own the root folder you cannot delete the file. [21:48] anyone ever try the usb install? [21:48] blackstar, see what kjele said... [21:48] ZenMasta: i have with unetbooting [21:48] blackstar: If you don't want to remove write privileges from a user's home directory, you could make this file you don't want them to delete a link to the original file that's somewhere else, in a directory they don't have permission to write to. Then, they can delete the link, but not the original file. And, you just have to copy it back over for them if they delete the link.

[21:50] switchgirl: what's the fstab line and what's the line you try to mount with? and you can put a # in front of the fstab line, then umount [21:50] stefg: So you think I should just set a static ip address, or is there some way to fix nm?

Since you might need ssh access to this box anyway it might come handy to give it a... [21:54] ...fixed IP. In this context nm is jsut bloat and unneeded complexity [21:54] jrib: Beta?

[22:07] NucWin_: ok. so what happens if you try to 'mkfs' a file system on the /dev/mapper/device? [22:08] how to remove meracity?? [22:08] drizzt_: metacity ? [22:08] yeap [22:08] drizzt_: sudo apt-get purge metacity ? [22:08] or [22:08] sudo apt-get remove metacity ? [22:08] Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10 I can no longer update my computer, my mouse does not function properly, I get message, could not grab your mouse, there may be a malicious client eavsdroping on your system [22:08] deco, LOL [22:08] cody__: add it at the bottom. put each on a new line [22:09] i'm serious, how to remove it? [22:09] all in all, the upgrade seems to have ruined my computer, any suggestions? [22:09] drizzt_: i'm serious [22:09] bastidrazor: do i need to restart my comp for the changes to work? [22:09] deco, it would take down gnome-sessino [22:10] imprint: restore the backup you made before upgrading (you have one, right?) [22:10] drizzt_: well then just switch to a different window manager [22:10] drizzt_: i don't know why you wanna remove metacity [22:10] ???? [22:10] no, I simply clicked upgrade when I was being updated [22:10] because I want unixway dammit, i don't want all nailed together] [22:10] drizzt_: lol use a different distor then [22:11] How do you restore backup [22:11] bah [22:11] cody__: no, restart networking .. in a terminal type sudo service networking restart [22:11] stefg format seemed to work out [22:11] *ok [22:11] bastidrazor: it said restart: unknown instance [22:11] are there some login manaagers for X? xdm is too primitive and gdm crashes [22:11] How can I go back to Ubuntu 9 [22:12] imprint, format, reinstall [22:12] cody__: doesn't the howto page you're using explain how to make things take effect? [22:12] after I make back up of data [22:12] not sure how to format the swap partition manually though [22:12] right [22:12] i'm not sure if ubuntu 9 supports ext4 [22:13] is it normal for partition resizing on a huge drive (1tb, 700/300 split for the new partition sizes) to take an inordinately long amount of time on 0%? [22:13] still I need some login manager to replace that piece of sh*t XDM [22:13] bastidrazor: well i followed the steps that related to my issue, and it said to just restart the computer for things to work but they arent now. so i scrolled down a bit and i saw IP forwarding, and that was a problem that my xbox was saying was happening, "your router isnt assigning an IP address to the xbox" [22:13] NucWin_: so there you go. but i still would have used the raw partitions for a striped lvm volume group.... much more flexible than any dmraid or even mdadm sof-raid ... [22:13] drizzt_: gdm? kdm? === mathias is now known as Guest39658 [22:13] drizzt_: btw, good books.. :D [22:14] rvn, gdm doen;t work [22:14] drizzt_: why not [22:14] Does anyone know where the MD5 sums are for the Ubuntu ISO downloads? [22:14] where is a boot log located? [22:14] cody__: then have your router assign an ip to your xbox. [22:14] i would try kdm only if it doesn't bring in half of KDE [22:14] is it normal for partition resizing on a huge drive (1tb, 700/300 split for the new partition sizes) to take an inordinately long amount of time on 0%? [22:14] rvn: slim, or just startx with .xinitrc [22:14] !md5sum | levander [22:14] levander: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:14] drizzt_: slim, or just startx with .xinitrc [22:14] bastidrazor: im not sure how to do that [22:14] VCoolio: i believe that's intended for drizzt_ [22:14] stefg how do i manually format the swap partition so that the installer doesnt try todo it for me? doesnt seem to be a mkfs.swap :( [22:14] !md5sums | levander [22:14] levander: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [22:14] rvn: exactly, sorry [22:15] thanks guys [22:15] GDM is crashing constantly [22:15] cody__: get your router model and version and google how to set a static ip for it. [22:15] NucWin_: don't worry. the installer will format swap anyway.. [22:15] nope, Kdm won't do === schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [22:16] it want 200MB of stuff [22:16] drizzt_: try slim [22:16] does ubuntu/linux offer 64bit versions for 64bit Intel processors? or is it only for 64AMD? [22:16] plouffe: amd64 is for both intel and amd [22:16] plouffe: same thing [22:16] plouffe: amd64 version is also for intel processors, that's just the name of the architecture [22:16] !64bit [22:16] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [22:16] plouffe: amd64 is compatible with emt64 [22:16] plouffe: reasos for the name is because amd got 64bit support first [22:16] bastidrazor, deco thanks [22:16] reason* [22:16] np :) [22:17] I just tried creating a usb drive according to the steps here http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download However, when I boot to the usb drive it just asks if I want to install, if I choose to install it asks me to insert the cdrom [22:17] ZenMasta: wow, that's odd. does the live mode work? [22:17] its just called amd64 'cause amd developed 64 bit [22:17] quit [22:18] stefg should the normal installer work? ive just got error "The installer needs to remove operating system files from the install target, but was unable to do so. The install cannot continue." [22:18] ZenMasta: if it does, install from within that. [22:18] rvn there is no live option because it is the server iso [22:18] ZenMasta: if not, i dunno [22:18] ZenMasta: ah [22:18] ZenMasta: shouldn't it allow you to boot to a live command line then though [22:18] so I got this file php-5.3.0.tar.bz2 and I'm trying to untar it with tar -xvjf php-5.3.0.tar.bz2 and it's not working. Any suggestions? [22:19] ZenMasta this is my first time trying the usb option... I need to do somethinb because I can't install from a traditional cd [22:19] xomp: are you just wanting to install php5? [22:19] eth1 cannot be a wifi device, true? [22:19] NucWin_: are you trying to use the desktop installer on a raid array? Won't work. you need the alternate installer for raid/lvm setups [22:19] jrib, no, trying to compile it as fpm constantly fails [22:19] xomp: you're on ubuntu use apt or synaptic if you're trying to install, otherwise idunno [22:20] xomp: is there a bug report? [22:20] rvn there is an "advanced options" item in the list when I boot up but i have'nt tried that [22:20] ahhh so i need alternate cd? [22:20] jrib, I have no idea, my fastcgi keeps randomly crashing in lucid and I can't be arsed to constantly log into my ubuntu VPS to spawn it again to get everything working. [22:20] ZenMasta: u might wanna look at that, but i must admit ur out of my comfort zone with ubuntu advice, so my help stops here [22:20] i think linux would be better without sexual & toilet humor [22:20] hi, i'm having problems with my laptop locking up ever since I upgraded to lucid [22:20] ZenMasta: i've installed server from cd and desktop from usb, but never server from usb [22:21] ZenMasta: also, did you try unetbootin to make ur usb stick/ [22:21] ZenMasta: that's what i use - i'm not sure what those instructions say [22:21] bbs [22:21] xomp: compiling php sounds like a maintenance headache [22:21] NucWin_: and you should really take th chance while you reinstall to use lvm instead of this clumsy bios fake raid facility designed for stupd OS's.... linux can do smarter [22:21] when I browse certain websites with Firefox suddenly everything freezes except the mouse [22:21] the mouse cursor moves but i can't click on anything [22:21] jrib, it's my only option, that or create a cronjob to check if fastcgi is running if not then start it [22:21] even CTRL+ALT+DEL does not work [22:22] Hello, i need help from USA resident to register sipgate.com account, it's SMS verification .. who would help ? [22:22] xomp: or figure out while it is crashing [22:22] PwrSurge: need to be more specific - what websites, or if that's a secret or whatever, what kind of content - embedded video, flash etc.? [22:22] why even [22:22] nor CTRL F1, etc.. to go on another terminal [22:22] PwrSurge: stop lookin at porn [22:22] even CTRL+Backspace [22:22] ctrl+alt+f1 [22:22] u mean [22:22] Crtl Alt + F1? [22:22] and ctrl+alt+backspace [22:22] yeah, sorry [22:22] PwrSurge, it's called Adobe Flash [22:22] u need the alt [22:22] rvn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:22] that's what I meant [22:23] jrib, heh I would if I knew how mate, but I can't seem to get good help in #nginx or #php regarding it because everyone assumes I'm some sort of interwebz master lol [22:23] the website in particular is http://www.windmobile.ca [22:23] !lvm | NucWin_ [22:23] NucWin_: 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 [22:23] i already tried disabling flash plugin but it still froze [22:23] big flash applet in the middle [22:23] what flash r u using? [22:23] latest 10 from their site? [22:23] yes [22:23] 64 bit [22:23] try the 32-bit one with a 32-bit browser if that's an option, the 64-bit one is new and perhaps buggy [22:24] I even tried the 2.6.33 kernel [22:24] PwrSurge: alternatively u can try gnash [22:24] and it did not help in thish issue [22:24] this [22:24] but it still froze even with flash plugin disabled [22:24] Ctrl+Alt+Sysreq+K fully restarts your desktop, but you loose anything you had open [22:25] stefg ive tried reading through abit of the last link but didnt seem to make much sens === dv84-sql is now known as Ares-B01-1 === kop_ is now known as kop [22:25] PwrSurge: have you tried re-downloading and reinstalling the flash plugin? does it work on other sites (i.e., youtube)? === phox is now known as Guest23652 [22:25] rvn i just checked but the advanced option only was to recover a broken system :'( [22:25] ZenMasta: did you make ur bootable usb with "unetbootin"? [22:25] pwr, i use ff on lynx 64 bit ... works well... are you sure your flash is up2date? [22:25] NucWin_: which part? the raid or the lvm part ? :-) [22:25] stefg the problem is i also want windows to run off the same array [22:26] xomp: you may think compiling is the easy solution, but here's what usually happens and why I avoid it: 1) it stops crashing. This is good, file a bug report and tell the maintainer that. Remember you need to watch for security updates yourself now, update-manager won't do it for you anymore and recompile yourself when you need to. You want to go back to the pakage as soon as possible so you should [22:26] actively try to sort out the issue. The people on the bug tracker will tell you what they need from you but they can't fix the issue if they don't know about it. 2) it doesn't stop crashing This is bad. [22:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto <-- tried to read that [22:26] fluvvell: no need for the ctrl on that one. [22:26] rvn I dont know what that is I just followed the instructions on the download site and used the universal usb installer [22:26] bookz [22:26] !compile > xomp [22:26] xomp, please see my private message [22:26] bookz [22:26] ZenMasta: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ <--- use this instead, it's what i use and it works every time no problems - does everything on it's own too [22:26] and PulseAudio still sux [22:26] kop: tru dat [22:27] bastidrazor, huh. Always used it, killer number of fingers! [22:27] kop, i think we discussed that already [22:27] jrib, ok, how would I do the bug thing you mention? [22:27] fluvvell: :) [22:27] Hi All, I want to know what is the current support for ATI Radeon cards. Mostly about video playback. I'm having trouble with the open source driver (radeon) and fglrx. In case of radeon, the video play isn't of the right color, in case of fglrx is doesn't display the video at all ... [22:27] drizzt_, just a reminder [22:27] is there any tablet diagnostic tool (I'd like to know what kind of data is passed from the device)? [22:27] ikus060: have u tried the official ati drivers from their site? i use those and they work great [22:27] Notice : I'm running Karmic [22:27] ikus060: they provide linux support like nvidia does, i dunno if u knew that [22:28] bastidrazor, I seem to recall having found a few of those on a gnome system key page somewhere. (maybe not gnome) [22:28] rvn : this is the fglrx driver, yes I know [22:28] ikus060, send me a pm, i think i have the just the links your for [22:28] xomp: bugs.ubuntu.com is where you can view existing bugs and there will be instructions on how to create a new one. If you want help with how to report and what to report, #ubuntu-bugs is very friendly [22:28] Dizkonnekted: can u send me those too - i am installing on a comp with an ati card right now and they might be useful to me [22:28] ikus060: i'm assuming that you tried "sudo jockey-gtk" [22:28] NucWin: you can still let windows use the dmraid... but if the kernel can see through the scam and still sees individual disks/partitions you can use the unused space for lvm physical volumes and install your system on a striped logical volume (which is smarter than using plain raid-0, but has the same performance) [22:28] jrib, thanks [22:29] i use radeon driver and it's so hitty that cannot run 2001 year games lol /spit [22:29] rvn, sure no problem, just send me a pm pls [22:29] rvn thanks for the link can't hurt to try something new since nothing else is workin === geekualizer is now known as anto9us [22:30] ZenMasta: i love that tool, have had nothing but positive experience with it, so it ought to work for ya [22:30] oldtopman : sure, I did. I manage to install both of them. It's not a matter of getting them working. My question is about the video playback of the driver. Both of them doesn't seams to work. So I'm wondering which one should actually work. [22:30] drizzt_, why bother w/ radeon at all , ATI has been nothing but trouble for *nix usrs for years [22:30] rvn awe, ubuntu server isn't in the distribution list :( [22:30] no worries [22:30] just use the iso u downloaded [22:30] it works with any linux [22:30] i think guys bahing opensource friver target cutting edge cards and dont guve a sjit for klegacy hardware [22:30] oh okay I see the options below === ruben is now known as Guest63513 [22:30] :) [22:30] great tool eh? :D [22:30] why is Ubuntu 64-bit "Not reccommended for daily desktop usage" ? [22:30] rvn the first part is asking to download. looks neat [22:31] kop, because ATI is good cheap cards === Guest23652 is now known as ph0xide [22:31] stefg unfortunatlly that would involve moving the 1TB of data off the computer lol maybe will look into it though if i ever change my stripes (currently 64k os & 256k data) [22:31] drizzt_, you're half right , guess which one ? heh [22:32] NucWin: so how comes that you reformat then.... you'll have to move the date off first, too? [22:32] jrib, seems #ubuntu-bugs isn't the appropriate place lol, I give up. Thanks though for all your help. === rac_ is now known as rac2030 [22:32] drizzt_, I will conditionally agree but that comparison requires the use of a M$ OS [22:33] stefg thats why i have the data stripe only needed to format the first stripe :) [22:33] wow, the new ubuntu installer (once ur past the user prompts) is quite nice graphically [22:33] NucWin_ : pastebin me a 'sudo fdisk -l' output plz [22:33] cant atm back in windows burning alt cd :) [22:34] nucwin: you could give him a diskpart xD [22:34] does anyone know any screenlet to gnome for scrolling rss? [22:34] after fresh install lucid, dvd drive umounts randomly, anyone else have this problem? [22:34] NucWin: are we talking morrored (raid1) or striped (raid0) here? if you have raid 0 you can't reformat anything without data loss.... [22:34] dr4c4n i just installed lynx want me to test [22:34] *mirrored [22:35] raid0 [22:35] oldtopman: please, [22:35] what kind of dvd: data or video [22:35] and how long is randomly [22:35] oldtopman: I've just repartitioned and installed from the iso xubuntu [22:35] NucWin: raid 0 means: lose one disk, lose all your data... it's not redundant [22:36] yups i know [22:36] hi ! I can't copy files > 4 gb on a ext2 usb hdd because of this error : "error during slice operation : file too big" [22:36] dvd is a commercial movie [22:36] mee too (Xubuntu FTW) [22:36] alright gimme a min [22:36] random time has varied anywhere from 20 minutes to 45 [22:36] i backup my photos and stuff i code in perl but rest i just take the risk [22:36] and only mounts dvd upon boot [22:36] nicoco, you ust format ext2 with an option for large files [22:36] nicoco: that's not an issue, it's a fact [22:36] NucWin: so you can't reformat anything without moving your data off the disk then [22:37] xangua: will ext3 work ? what fs should I use for my external usb hdd ? [22:37] i created two bios stripes over the two disks [22:37] i r4restored grub2 after installing windows xp (dual boot) and the grub file menu.lst does not exist HELP! [22:37] so can format the first stripe without affecting the second [22:37] hi guys. something got borked. now when I do an update/upgrade, I get prompted to do a "apt-get -f install", which want to remove most software from my system & prompts me: "You are about to do something potentially harmful." "To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'" [22:37] wrong kind [22:37] brb [22:37] brb rebooting to alt cd [22:38] BalSak, it's called broken packeges [22:38] i booted into ubuntu and i never saw an option to boot into windows. the grub menu never appeared [22:38] drizzt_: thnx, how do I address it? [22:38] BalSak, set your repository to old one [22:38] k [22:38] xangua: I thought fat32 had issue with large files but ext2 was ok am I wrong ? [22:39] NucWin: so you just want to reformat the linux stripe, right? [22:39] nicoco, ext2 is old as mammuth sh*t it doesn't support anything like this [22:39] NucWin: so you just want to reformat the linux *array*, right? === Roasted is now known as PigeonKiller [22:39] dr4c4n the princess bride works for me [22:39] drizzt_, there was no 1GB drives until 95 [22:39] xangua: oh ok ill go for ext3 then... === PigeonKiller is now known as Roasted [22:40] oldtopman: yes the dvd works, [22:40] or ext4 ? I don't understand anything about filesystems what should I choose for my usb hdd ? [22:41] nicoco: how big is it? [22:41] 500gb [22:41] nicoco, use NTFS [22:41] ntfs, seriously ? [22:41] nicoco: and what are you going to store on it? [22:41] I don't use windows [22:41] how can i downgrade DIA to version 0.96? === acr0nym_ is now known as acr0nym [22:41] mostly large files [22:41] !digest [22:41] nicoco: xfs then [22:41] nicoco, so what? it support large files and not changing version with each year [22:41] Does anyone know where I can find a list (online) of all the packages installed "out of the box" with Server 9.10? [22:42] i used the fstab to mount my win partition when booting ubuntu but i cant let rythmbox access the music i stored there and get an error message >>Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library... how can i fix that? [22:42] ext2 does have a nice size limit, seems to be 16 gigs? anyway there are free drivers for win as well - to support ext2, so i did that once or twice [22:42] i've got a system with a lot of serial ATA backplanes. How do I determine which backplane is giving me problems from the syslog when all it says is ata9.01 exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4010000 action 0xf.... [22:42] why would ntfs or xfs be better than ext4 ? [22:43] nicoco: but that'll mean that you can never take that disk to a Mac or windows box [22:43] I can always just pull a drive out and see which ata number barks at me, but that would cause more problems than it fixes [22:44] if i want to get get back a value to use in useradd for the --password argument how would i do that is there a command line tool to get back the encrypted value? [22:44] nicoco: xfs is very good for large files.... ext4 isn't really mature, ntfs is out of question... slow on linux [22:44] Hey all - I'm having some difficulty with sudo-ldap. Most LDAP functionality is working fine, users can login and so on, but they can't sudo at all - auth.log reports '3 incorrect password attempts' rather than 'you're not allowed sucka', but the passwords work just fine for the purpose of logging in via ssh in the first place. [22:44] stefg, jfs > xfs [22:44] stefg: thanks for the advices [22:44] stefg, you need several TB of swap to check TBs of XFS [22:44] Hey [22:44] I don't plan on moving it from my computer so I'll choose xfs... or jfs ? [22:45] stefg seems i have got it installing now :) i will look into using softraid instead of dmraid next time i need to make changes to biosraid config :) thanks for your help dude :) [22:45] btrfs is getting close to viable as a replacement for xfs. I wouldn't use it in a production environment yet but it's rock-solid at home so far [22:45] nicoco, pyrophelia : http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388 [22:45] how can i downgrade DIA to version 0.96? === derek_ is now known as LHoT10820 [22:46] anyone familiar with pm-utils? [22:46] O.o; Registered? [22:46] stefg, i'm aware of the benchmarks, but if your data isn't safe what's the point of a FS than can spread across several hundred TBs [22:46] GUys anyone knoew of the Linksys WUSB54G v4? [22:47] mikel, how is the speed? [22:47] ...lol [22:47] Okay, identified. [22:47] Anyways. [22:47] I'm having a bunch of graphical glitches on 10.4 [22:47] anyone? [22:47] I'll go for xfs as it seems to work without installing any other package [22:48] I started having sound problems with Skype on 10.04... [22:48] thanks guys [22:48] pyrophelia: considering data integrity i'd trust xfs 10x more than ext4 ..... and jfs is a somewhat exotic choice on linux, i actaully know noone who is using it [22:49] * LHoT10820 glances at the user count in the channel, falls over. [22:49] Any good open source alternative to Skype? [22:49] I was curious if anyone knows if the Geforce GT330M is now supported in 10.04? I tried 9.10 when I first got the notebook but couldn't get them to work with hardware acceleration or anything. I searched the forums and google and can just find old info. [22:50] dual graphics support is a bit iffy still afaik, can you disable one of the gpu's in the bios? [22:50] So, can anyone help with minor graphical issues? [22:50] stefg, jfs is also kinda dead. But it's easier to run FS checks on JFS than it is on XFS [22:50] I'm not too sure where to begin. [22:51] It's a single gpu....it's a notebook card [22:51] begin at the end [22:51] ok I really need some help.. is it possible to get back filenames from file000.CHK files? [22:51] Kingsy101, no [22:51] my entire USB filesystem has turned into file soup [22:51] Hey everyone [22:51] pyrophelia: I haven't been putting it under particularly heavy load but it's performance seems pretty comparable to reiserfs which I was using before [22:51] its quiet now! [22:52] hi [22:52] drizzt_ - is it possible to get file extensions back? [22:52] i have a problem with getting untarred executables to run [22:52] i think they are not even really files [22:52] pyrophelia: then we should agree on ext3... hey it's an USB disk anyway. the bottleneck is the interface, not the filesystem. and the more i think of it the more i think ext3 is right... xfs might not like unplugging the disk in the middle of a write [22:52] drizzt_ - they are files cos some of them are showing as images [22:52] Hi.

Obviously this kernel lacks of something the regular one have and provides the securityfs. Are there a way to avoid this error without change the kernel back?
