[00:01] has anyone here connected an xbox to xbox live through their xbox using ubuntu? [00:01] is there a way for apache2 to email me if my server gets overwhelmed with traffic? [00:01] i tried everything , edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , no use [00:01] i swear it used to work T_T [00:01] plouffe, I did and afaikansee nothing happened. [00:01] pietro: click ".install guest additions [00:01] in one of the menus [00:02] thanks [00:02] bricky, you might find some info by having a look at the various files under /proc/acpi [00:02] sod: its funny cuz grub stated it reached critical of 94c === cbone is now known as cbone_out [00:02] and than i hit enter, and it continued to boot just fine [00:02] tripelb, then maybe try the other method. It works for me with archive manager, so I'm not sure why you are having problems [00:02] bricky, ouch, at grub, nasty, try going into the bios, some models give detailed readouts in there [00:02] although windows and bios it shuts down [00:02] lol. [00:02] not mine [00:02] anyone? *puppy eyes* =( [00:02] but yeah, funny eh? [00:03] Why cant i see this harddrive: from "lspci" i get (copied by hand): IDE Interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller [00:03] thanks for your help I will try to sift through and see whats going on [00:03] bricky, can you hear the fan? It could be that its clogged or broken, had an older laptop where that happened, opened it up, cleared all the crud off the fan and that fixed it [00:03] plouffe, I got it. Choosing "open with archive manager">nothing. Choosing OPEN> then With Archive Manager, that worked. [00:03] sod: no the fan is not working [00:03] tripelb, ok good [00:03] now that you mention it [00:03] * eNTRO assumes no on knows [00:03] are you able to forward IP's through a laptop to an xbox? [00:04] bricky, well thats your problem then, you either need to ungunk it or replace it [00:04] Rhythmbox is driving me crazy! :'( I can select Mp3 for an output format and it creates Mp3's, but any changes to the gstreamer pipeline are happily ignored and all I can get is 128kbps [00:04] bricky, if the temp readout is right, running it without the fan could cause permanent damadge [00:04] !ics | cody__ [00:04] cody__: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [00:04] bricky, does the laptop actually feel hot? [00:04] cody__: but it would be easier to let your router do it. [00:04] okay, ill do that, taking apart my laptop is somewhat iffy but I ll just get some air and spray it in [00:05] bricky, good idea, good luck [00:05] sod: sometimes the fan spins up or did at least, but not now [00:05] bastidrazor: ive been talking to someone on linksys live support and we havent been able to get it to work [00:05] sod: yes its burning my leg lolz [00:05] bricky, in that case, try to avoid running it until the fan is fixed [00:05] bricky, you could do permanent damadge [00:06] sod: okay, understood [00:06] sod: is there a way to [00:06] test if the fan works properly? [00:06] Hello, can someone help me to install the ubuntu wireless driverS? [00:06] Looking at a DVD's files. It can play in 2 kinds of dolby and two languages subtitled and 2 languages dubbed. How can I pick just some files to see it in Japanese with english subs in the simple dolby. -- Or is there some way to make it smaller? Change it to .avi? ---- If this is the wrong channel then please suggest one to me. Thanks!! [00:06] like a toggle or something [00:06] after attempting to rip and opening up preferences Rhythmbox just randomly selects a profile.. why.. [00:06] Hello, can someone help me to install the ubuntu wireless drivers? How can I find out what wireless card I have>? [00:07] bricky, there usually is a way to manually control it, but it varies wildly from laptop to laptop, I have no idea how to do it with your model, and a quick google did not find anything [00:07] bricky, maybe if you hunt you will find a tool === Random833 is now known as Random832 [00:07] Hi. I downloaded a version of parallels desktop to run in Ubuntu 10.04, and when I try to open the file to install, I get a window telling me that "gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding". I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with parallels. The extension of the file is .run, which I have not seen before [00:07] sod: no universal tools ? ;( [00:08] sod: thanks for your help [00:08] bricky, not that I know of [00:08] hi. anyone knows how to reinstall the original bootloader and session manager graphics?

[00:09] @Hetal I think lspci will output a bunch of info about your machine, including your wireless card. If not, you can try looking online. [00:09] ahh, thanks bastidrazor [00:10] thevor: .run files are typicaly shell scripts (also called shar archives) [00:10] thevor: try chmod'ing the file to +x then executing it. [00:10] @BedMan Do you know where I cna read up oh how to chmod something to +x? [00:11] thevor: man chmod [00:11] @BedMan, Bastidrazor Thank you [00:12] thevor: sudo chmod a+x FILE; [00:12] buenas [00:12] thevor: chmod +x [00:12] !es | Obito [00:12] Obito: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[00:13] I want to put the "file listing" that Archive Manager gives me (from the iso) into a text file, IE copy it. Not the files, just the listing in nautilus. How can I do that? [00:13] evening all [00:14] not finding much support in #ubuntu-server does anyone have any experience seting up a server that wouldnt mind talking? [00:14] thevor: btw, @user connotates the user is an op in IRC - that syntax is frowned uppon. [00:14] Bedman: Oh sorry [00:14] BedMan: Good to know [00:15] Bedman: I'm never sure how to reply. When people speak to me it pops up bright red, how do I create that effect when replying? [00:15] how can I copy the text in a file browser directory listing to keep it in a text file. Please. [00:16] thevor: your IRC client is responsible for that feature. Your name shows up highlighted in Yellow for me when you just put my nic in front. [00:16] BedMan: Oh ok cool. Thanks again. [00:16] thevor: but it's client specific (I use IRSSI and a shell window) [00:16] tripelb: this is for an .iso file listing? [00:16] Bedman, mine is in Red. I use xchat. Can I chage that? Oh irssi, the client of mystery. lol [00:17] Typos_King, yes. the window comes from archive manager. [00:17] tripelb: I'm sure you can change it, but I have no idea how :-) [00:17] BedMan: Oh ok. So I did the chmod and now when I try to open it says that it is an executable text file, and doesn't end up opening [00:17] tripelb: irssi is no mystery - it's really straightforward if you know perl... [00:17] Bedman can I just copy the list of files, size, type, name [00:17] tripelb: doesn't your archive manager has an option for that? [00:18] thevor: you probably should do it in a command prompt window [00:18] Typos_King, maybe I should look at the menu. I'm thinking windows does not allow... [00:18] How can I add a command to launch an application (i.e.: sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd start) in such a way that this is launched at boot [00:18] thevor: or shell window as most call it... I like xterm, but that's been replace with gnoterm or something like that... [00:18] tripelb: I don't think is OS dependent, so much as app dependent [00:19] (my desktop is set to auto-login) [00:19] Typos_King, No. It doesnt. Can you do it from Nautilus?

[00:21] bastidrazor, is that executed at root level or user level ? [00:21] !iso | tripelb [00:21] tripelb: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:21] dl-dvd [00:21] tripelb: so, how is the listing going to help you with the burning? [00:22] BedMan: So I just did xterm from a terminal and it opened another window. So now should I just sudo install? [00:23] thanks [00:23] that should do the trick [00:23] Typos_King, the listing will help me communicate to someone else who can help me cut down the size of the whole. (It has ponyo, in 2 kinds of dolby, 2 kinds of subtitles or none, and in Japanese or dubbed in Chinese. I am sure I can lose some of it. Or else chop it to a smaller avi. Tho I have no clue on how to do that. -- YET) [00:24] tripelb: so, is a movie? [00:24] dual layer dvd [00:25] Typos_King, yes. I luckily copied it to a HD _before_ I stepped on it and trashed the disk. [00:25] tripelb: sounds to me you just need a good movie editor or ripper for that [00:26] Typos_King, meanwhile it is on a WUBI partition that I can only get to by booting from this partition. If I can create some free filespace on another drive I will free it. [00:26] Typos_King, is there an opensource ubuntu program for that? [00:27] HATSA it works like a charm, thanks again [00:27] I'll google it Typos_King [00:27] tripelb: I've ripped dvds, with k9copy, which allows skipping subtitles and other audios and chapters, but haven't done it from a file, just from a dvd media, however it does have the option to use a file for ripping [00:28] Typos_King, oh yes there are.

I can look at the file names and that is an accomplishment. I am on my way. [00:30] tripelb: btw, I was poking around with my archiver, Peazip, it does have a way to get the listing [00:31] Typos_King, still here. I save the good advice in a text file. [00:32] what did you find? Typos_King [00:32] Typos_King, I will look at peazip. that's all I need. and thanks for your time, attention. [00:33] Hello ChanServ [00:33] Welcome to #aoi, marcc [00:35] Anyone that can help me install wireless drivers on ubuntu? [00:36] bastidrazor: have you hooked up a computer through your laptop to the internet before? [00:36] orangeglo: no, i have enough cat5 and routers to do the job. [00:38] bastidrazor: do you think hooking up an xbox would be any different than another computer? [00:39] <[V13]Axel> bastidrazor: Just so you know, you don't just need cat5, you need a crossover cable. This is a cable with the transmit and receive pins switched, meant for two similar devices, such as PC to PC or PC to XBOX. [00:39] orangeglo: i use static routes in my routers via MAC addresses. get the MAC address from the Xbox and set a static IP. it is how i have it for all my networkable devices [00:40] [V13]Axel: if i'm connecting to a router? [00:41] <[V13]Axel> Oh. [00:41] <[V13]Axel> No. [00:41] [V13]Axel: :) [00:41] Typos_King, wanting to install peazip -- sudo apt-get install peazip cant find the program. I see the webpage but nothing has ever installed for me except from terminal. there are 2 linux choices on the page. ???? [00:41] bastidrazor: did you have to change any settings on your laptop for it to work? [00:41] <[V13]Axel> bastidrazor: If you're connecting via another computer with internet connection sharing, yes. But not if you're connecting straight to the router. [00:41] orangeglo: i have nothing routed from my laptop to anything else. everything goes from router to device .. did you follow the instructions from ubottu ? [00:41] How do I find if peazip is in a repository? If I want to use apt-get to install something then it must be in a repository, right? [00:42] tripelb: apt-cache policy packagename [00:42] tripelb, Synaptic Package Manager also searches.

[00:44] tripelb: in case you missed ubottu's line, you can just mount the .iso and list it from there -> sudo mount -o loop MYFILE.iso /mnt; cd /mnt; ls -R * > ~/LISTING.txt; less ~/LISTING.txt; umount /mnt; :) [00:44] orangeglo: i have never done what you're trying to do.

Then, the screen goes completely black and doesn't change. I set this up at my house originally on my 32" HDTV and now it's on a 20" LCD monitor. He has onboard video only and I think that's the problem, but I do not know how to fix it. Any help? [00:45] question regarding the User switch menu in the upper right of X desktop...

[02:18] freezway: I got a viewsonic here, too, in which I onced purged pred the nvidia via synaptic and re-installed it by jockey-gtk to get a fix, but it might be that your kernel lacks dpms, so a look in.. [02:18] is there any way to upgrade my php installation from php 5.3.1 to 5.3.2 if it's installed through lampp? [02:18] |sanchez|: i learned something when i actually read teh manual. So you install vbox, creat a VM then add your OS. Basically that gets you started [02:18] <|sanchez|> hmm [02:18] mark66j: I really wish I could use 64 bit, but I have a palm pre and the palm sdk and the emulator are really set up for 32 bit architecture. [02:19] Help with this: gpgv: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC [02:19] hi, is anyone online right now? [02:19] hello Firefishe :-) [02:19] |sanchez|: on about page 60 of teh manual it talks about guest additions that smooth and enhance your new virtual OS machine [02:19] ostcat: 1488 people are online [02:19] onetinsoldier: Greetings, good friend :-). How are you today? [02:19] ostcar: 1488 people are online [02:19] |sanchez|: smooth mousing, native resolution, all that goodness [02:19] Firefishe: good thanks. how are you doing? [02:19] onetinsoldier: I am contemplating upgrading Karmic to Lucid, and I am fielding questions. [02:19] wow, in germany it is night right now [02:19] <|sanchez|> acerimmer_: i am familiar with that, i cant install guest additions until i install the guest OS [02:19] Firefishe: ahh, roger [02:20] how can i check to see if my WLAN interface is set to wlan0 and LAN to eth0? [02:20] bye, good night [02:20] onetinsoldier: Otherwise, in need of work. (We can also take other talk to offtopic if you desire.) [02:20] |sanchez|: right. thought you had and was *silly* advising on that assumption. [02:20] what is the key diference between APT and RPM [02:20] Firefishe: Dont think x64 gives you much on that hdware [02:20] cody__: ifconfig [02:21] gbillings: different paketmanagers [02:21] gbillings: different package management. you can use rpm in ubuntu with the "alien" command [02:21] cvsd[]: bind() failed: Address already in use [02:21] mark66j: I've already got the Ubuntu and Kubuntu cd .iso's (64bit) burned, and they seem to work well. Aside from loading the .deb databases seemingly faster, I don't notice much of a difference. [02:21] !rpm | gbillings [02:21] accreimmer_: which one is *faster* [02:21] gbillings: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [02:21] <|sanchez|> thanks though [02:22] gbillings: but source is always more reliable, if apt doesn't provide a software [02:22] how do i find the hd'X' device for my CDROM/DVD drive? [02:22] DesEi: so if only an RPM is available how should I *safely* install the package? [02:23] gbillings: you can get source code , in almost all cases under gpl [02:23] Firefishe: I see better response in ui when switching from VMware session to native apps [02:23] !compile | gbillings [02:23] gbillings: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:23] gbillings: by definition, importing alien packages is risky. you can test with a virtualbox without risking your main system [02:23] :-D [02:23] DasEi: i know what compiling is :( [02:24] im trying to configure my iptables, and is there anyway to route info from my wirless card, to my ethernet cable, which is connected to my xbox?? [02:24] gbillings: I agreed with acerimmer_ [02:24] DasEi: ty any ways [02:25] cody__:yes [02:25] gbillings: how would i go about doing that? [02:25] cody__: are you just trying to get on live using your laptops wifi card? [02:25] gbillings: yes [02:25] mark66j: You think vmware is faster? [02:25] I tried demuxing some vob files using ffmpeg. The first two of the movie created some .mp2 video files that work flawlessly, the second two, however, act as if they're .mp2 audio files and won't load in vlc, movieplayer, or cinelerra... I used the exact same command for all .vob files with the difference in file names. anyone give a hint as to what might be going wrong? [02:26] <^Hikari> Can I ask a question here? [02:26] mark66j: My chipset does support vertualization, although I've never worked with it [02:26] all .vob files play fine before demuxxing. [02:26] HIkari: Don't ask to ask, just ask away :) [02:26] <^Hikari> Yes, sir! [02:26] cody__:go to system > prefrences > network connections [02:26] go to the wireless tab [02:27] ^Hikari: I'm not an op, just a user. Sir is for knights, I'm just a wannabe stable boy/coder ;) lol [02:27] double click your current wifi connection auto xxxx [02:27] gbillings: and change my auto eth0 to share with other computers? [02:27] <^Hikari> Yes, boy! [02:27] gbillings: ok [02:28] <^Hikari> I wanted to install Ubuntu in my usb thumb drive but not just as a liveusb so that it would save any settings I made and any apps I got. [02:28] <^Hikari> So [02:28] Firefishe: I also do have a later VMware so that may be part [02:28] <^Hikari> I was told to burn a cd with the iso, and I did, and ran it, and now I'm supposed to install Ubuntu on the usb thumb drive, but I'm not entirely sure how [02:28] cody__: i am currently doind the same thing right now one sec while i double check my settings [02:28] mark66j: I can't afford vmware at this time, so virtualbox may have to suffice. [02:28] <^Hikari> Freakishly noob question, I know. [02:28] gbillings: ok cool :) [02:29] ^Hikari: usb installs are a bit out of my experience vector. I've only been successful with one, and that was an old copy of slax ;) [02:29] <^Hikari> : ( [02:29] all my ubuntu ones failed. [02:29] ^Hikari: you could try by just disconnecting any other drive, but safer approach is pendrivelinux [02:29] <^Hikari> I'm helpless then. [02:29] <^Hikari> I did that [02:30] Firefishe: I want to try virtual box too [02:30] <^Hikari> But it only works as a liveusb [02:30] <^Hikari> Doesn't save any settings or apps I install [02:30] <^Hikari> It's frustrating [02:30] anyone here use selinux? [02:30] anyone online in the linuxmint forum? [02:31] ok cody__ go to the IPv4 tab and click shared to other computers [02:31] ^Hikari: nah, visit : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/usb-installs-from-linux/ [02:31] if im not clear cody__ see http://pastebay.com/101649 [02:31] ^Hikari: size of the usb ? [02:31] gbillings: did you change any settings on your xbox? [02:31] <^Hikari> 6-gig [02:31] !who | ^Hikari [02:31] ^Hikari: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:31] <^Hikari> It should work perfectly fine as far as I know [02:32] <^Hikari> Sorry. === freezway_ is now known as freezway [02:32] hello [02:32] ^Hikari: np, yes, will do fine, scroll down the given link, select a distro, will do fine and easy [02:32] DasEi, Ok, im back... I have X back [02:32] gbillings: brb, restarting comp [02:32] !hi|juca [02:32] juca: 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! [02:32] freezway: I got a viewsonic here, too, in which I onced purged pred the nvidia via synaptic and re-installed it by jockey-gtk to get a fix, but it might be that your kernel lacks dpms, so a look in.. [02:33] what? [02:33] freezway: /var/log/Xorg.0.log might tell you more about it's initialisation [02:33] cody__: did it work? [02:33] Newbie question: "ubuntu software center" had a button to upgrade to 10.04 LTS. I prev pressed it but had to cancel it. Now I don't see the button. How to I get that button back! :) [02:33] <^Hikari> cody__, Are you sure this will work? I tried doing it with the UUI and it only gave me a liveusb that didn't save any settings or anything at all. It was quite frustrating. [02:33] hey, does anyone know how to set GDM theme in Lucid? [02:34] after my upgrade I got stuck with the old theme [02:34] DasEi, so purge anything that looks related? also when do i reboot? after purging? after reinstalling? [02:34] cody__: did is work? [02:34] EruditeHermit: System>Preferences>Appearance [02:34] Should I use gnome to upgrade from karmic to lucid, or is using the kde tool okay? Or is using gnome's synaptic tool from within kde all right, too? [02:34] yup, was a very newbie. found my answer [02:34] hey, what's the best "ubuntu" way to set up a central file server? there may be some windows clients, for now just other unbuntu systems [02:35] acerimmer_, where in there sets the GDM theme? [02:35] EruditeHermit: Appearance>Theme [02:35] freezway: under system > admin.., you got a tab saying hardwaredrivers ? [02:35] acerimmer_, that sets the theme once logged in, not the GDM theme [02:36] DasEi, yeah, but take a look at my log file... http://pastebin.com/yy3Y4Y3j [02:36] how can I get mplayer to play in the background? I'm using xwinwrap but the video still comes out on top of everything [02:36] EruditeHermit: so you want to change login screen??

[02:39] Nope.. Does that usually work? [02:39] EruditeHermit: OR my suggestion is to use THIS http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 [02:39] freezway: nothin uncommon in log; gksudo synaptic, search for nvidia1... [02:39] g* [02:39] acerimmer_, ah thanks I'll try that [02:39] DasEi, ok [02:39] i am on arch now, would it work if i chroot to my ubuntu partition and do apt-get there? [02:39] Is there a way to google from terminal without lynx? [02:40] hello, is there anyone here interested in anti-captcha tactics [02:40] gbillings__: install w3m [02:40] Ipain: tell you the truth, usually you never have this freezing problem to begin with ... [02:40] gbillings__: without a terminal based browser, then no [02:40] CaptainTrek: thanks [02:40] gbillings: i was able to get my xbox to go through my pc, then it was searching for my PC but i dont think it was connected to the internet. when i had my wirless options set to share with computers i was unable to get online on my laptop [02:40] Hmm.. Did I do something wrong when I set it up possibly? [02:41] freezway: choose to completly remove the current driver(s) [02:41] gbillings: have you successfully gotten onto xbox live? [02:41] DasEi, there are a number of packages, also, gtk-jockey or w/e wants an upgraf [02:41] is it just me or does the floodbots and chanserv generate a flood all on there own.. probably worse than most users do.... [02:41] Ipain: I hav no idea .. if you can log in fail safe, come back and ask someone to walk you through gathering the Xorg log and update your ticket with that info [02:41] DasEi, upgrade* [02:42] freezway: apply upgrades first [02:42] ok [02:42] acerimmer_, btw, any ideas why it didn't update my GDM theme on the upgrade? [02:42] Alright will do thanks. [02:42] I'm using karmic. How do I make CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE work? [02:42] DasEi, ok.... upgrading... may take a while on my internet.... [02:42] DasEi, yeah.... 13 min remaining [02:43] EruditeHermit: sorry, no idea. probably something with the upgrade method, i.e clean install vs. synaptic or something [02:43] freezway: caffeine fine here [02:43] do any window managers use SVG objects for all windows parts yet? [02:44] blue_anna: not that i know of [02:44] in the mean time, how do you hide the numerous joining and leaving of people in xchat &&/|| or irssi [02:45] acerimmer_, thanks for your help [02:45] i'm going to try it now bbl [02:45] EruditeHermit: hope that works.

[02:51] DasEi, http://pastebin.com/zm5XZkLh [02:51] hey, my sound stopped for working, i guess i must installed some either newer or older version of packages, it may be having conflits, how can I do to fix the common packages versions which are suited to the most packages which are installed ? [02:52] why would my default ubuntu packages tell me some of them cannot be authenticated, install at own risk [02:52] k-rad: i am having the same weird issue [02:52] gbillings: any luck connecting to live?

Are the menu's still "cluttered" in both? [02:55] aknagi, yes... they are [02:56] How can I run nautilus from a console without detaching it? [02:56] Oh well. I'll wait untill I get a machine capable of running VMs before trying kubuntu. [02:57] I'm in love with gnome anyway, so it would be like cheating. [02:57] cody__ you have to reconnect your wireless signal [02:57] mark66j: what does does typing gpg in terminal yield?

[03:00] Lichte: Do you have a fixed IP?

But everything seems slower than what I had in 9.04 (i.e. alt-tab motion are sluggies ). Any ideas what might be going on? [03:03] I'm going to be installing lots of software, but I never went over 13GB on Fedora, so I'm guessing Ubuntu can't possibly take much more space. [03:03] FyreFoX: raw ? try df -h , if that's what you need [03:03] gbillings: no it doesnt connect. [03:03] mark66j: so just uninstall it eh ? [03:03] DasEi: as in how big the disk is.. ie 40G or whatever [03:03] R3cur51v3, it depends on the amount of sofware, yes, but you can always adjust it later [03:03] gbillings: Cant check now not on that syst [03:03] segfault: I'm using XFS for the home partition, which cannot be shrunk [03:04] So increasing size later will mean I have to backup and restore [03:04] linksys wmp54g v.4 pci card and linksys wrt160n router [03:04] Lichte: If you dont need dhcp yes [03:04] * freezway is back (gone 00:02:13) [03:04] segfault: thanks though [03:04] cody__ it worked for me i dont knoww try reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [03:04] mark66j: I sure don't need dhcp [03:05] gbillings: i tried that. im confused because when i set my wireless to share with computers, my laptop is unable to connect to the internet [03:05] R3cur51v3, sure. keep in mind that ubuntu is quite a large install [03:05] gbillings: are you still able to access the internet when your wireless is set to share? [03:05] is there a chipset of linmodem that tends to just work ? [03:05] How do you disable the keyring from asking me for my password everytime i login to activate my chat accounts?

[03:06] gbillings: is eth0 set to auto? [03:06] k-rad: conexant modems themselves give out drivers.. well oh yeah i heard they have that damn thing, like its half speed for that.. i don't have any first hand info.. [03:06] how do i become root in the console [03:06] gbillings: yes [03:06] cody__ yes [03:06] venom su - [03:07] k [03:07] !sudo > venom [03:07] venom, please see my private message [03:07] rsouthard: sudo -i [03:07] k-rad: i mean half speed for the driver they have it with the device or something..

[03:07] Lichte: Just make sure you get all the fixed setting in place. Also think u must disable dhcpd from stsrtin [03:07] swathanthran: language pls [03:07] swathanthran, i wanted to be able to fax from my ubuntu box [03:07] how do i edit the sudoers file [03:07] gbillings: ? [03:07] your right sorry. was thinking of rhel. [03:07] gbillings: try to ping 8.8.8.8 - if that works try pinging google.com. If the first works, and the second fails it's a dns issue. [03:07] sudovi I think [03:07] venom: why do you want to? [03:08] DasEi: yes, wont show me the disk size unfortunately only mounted partitions [03:08] its says im not in it [03:08] :( [03:08] k-rad: oh that sounds cool..

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:09] venom: just do.... sudo su - root to become root [03:09] onetinsoldier: yes if the server port is still in default [03:09] DasEi: thanks. was hoping to do it without sudo/root. Thanks for helping though [03:09] cody__: try to ping 8.8.8.8 - if that works try pinging google.com. If the first works, and the second fails it's a dns issue. as says greezmunkey [03:09] gbillings: is your xbox set to automatic? or did you manually input the information? [03:10] k-rad: but can internal modem do that? like say an internal modem can't work with asterisk .. oh but ability to send AT commands should be enough right.. hmm.. [03:10] orangeglo: automatic [03:10] gbillings, : ping 216.239.61.104 [03:10] venom: sudo visudo /etc/sudoers will edit it -- now, having said that. don't [03:10] swathanthran, indeed it can, if supported [03:10] FyreFoX: ah, found a way : [03:10] wise_crypt: thanks [03:10] gbillings: how do i "ping"? [03:10] venom: sudo -i to be root for a bit, when yuo need that [03:10] FyreFoX: gnome-device-manager [03:10] venom: you can reset your password if you need to, but we cannot help you if you do not answer our questions [03:10] terminal [03:11] FyreFoX: so for sure there is a cmd-line versin, too [03:11] wise_crypt: he couldn't ping 8.8.8.8, or google.com... [03:11] venom: there really isnt any reason to edit your sudoers file. [03:11] wise_crypt: nope [03:11] it asks for pass but my pass doesnt work....the one i always use [03:11] venom: what do you mean your pass isn't working? Are you logged in now? Please use my nick if you are replying to me [03:11] Hello everyone, JC here, different name (yay) [03:11] DasEi: Oo.. mm [03:11] venom: try sudo passwd root [03:11] well i pinged 8.8.8.8 and im getting a steady stream of 64 bytes [03:11] rsouthard: stop suggesting silly things please [03:11] cody__ try google.com [03:12] k-rad: oh thats big news for me. i thought they are just two different hardwares.. my laptop has a phone socket, and its internal modem is wired with soundcard if i get it working with soundmodem(i saw some similar package on linmodem), i can make it work with asterisk? [03:12] jrib: that isnt silly. that will reset his root pword if that is what he needs. [03:12] to see if im able to open it?? [03:12] gbillings: heh, It looked like you were in trouble! My bad! [03:12] cody__ that will check if you have access to the outside world [03:12] swathanthran, if its powerful enough, i'm pretty sure that may work. i've never investigated asterisk just seen it mentioned alot [03:12] rsouthard: it is silly. Why would he need to reset a password that isn't set by default? And he's asking about sudo, not a root account [03:12] greezmunkey: i am confused [03:13] greezmunkey: im helping somebody elses [03:13] jrib: if he cant become root then it probably needs to be reset. [03:13] Just out of curiosity, anyone using the KDE netbook interface? Giving it a try now, and I quite like it, the only exception is that I can't figure out how to see some kind of taskbar while using Pidgin or any other application. Any way to change that? Maybe a OSX like doc, or Win7 type pinnable taskbar that's always on the bottom. [03:13] gbillings: I get that now :) [03:13] * swathanthran rushes to #asterisk [03:13] rsouthard: no. [03:13] DasEi: have to go out, will check back thanks again [03:13] i thought no one needs root on ubuntu [03:13] !root > rsouthard [03:13] rsouthard, please see my private message [03:13] FyreFoX: np [03:14] k-rad you should barely ever use the root account directly, using sudo will suffice and is much less dangerous generally. [03:14] AudicaLive: what you're asking for is probably there. KDE has all kinds lf littel tweaks like that. there 's always cairo dock [03:14] greezmunkey: im glad we're not confused any more [03:14] !cairo|audicaLIve [03:14] cody__: were u able to ping google.com [03:14] does a presario v5000 have a cam built in? [03:14] BuUz: ask compaq? [03:15] gbillings: so it is cody__ that is having the problem, he could ping 8.8.8.8, but hasn't tried ping google.com yet afaik... [03:15] namebench is the name of a utility that is really useful in finding the fastest free dns servers [03:15] i was going to buy one for my ubuntu but not sure if it has a cam i can use [03:15] its hosted by those google projects [03:16] greezmunkey: he is trying right now but whenever he enables ipv4 sharing he loses his connection [03:16] gbillings: when i had my wireless set to share i was unable to ping 8.8.8.8 [03:16] freezway: still around ? [03:16] freezway: [03:16] orangeglo: did you restart? [03:16] Thanks acerimmer, i'll look into it. I've never used KDE before, but I've heard that about it. Just out of curiosity, is it supposed to be slower than GNOME at default? [03:16] i deleted the time/date from my panel, and I dunno what i should add back to get it to re-appear.... [03:16] gbillings: no i just restarted the connection [03:17] freezway: purge the current nvidia drivers by synaptic, then re-install recommended via jockey (hardwaredrivers), I gtg soon [03:17] why isn't there just a time and date panel object? [03:17] orangeglo: you must restart your computer after changing the settingsd [03:17] Does anyone want to help me understand xmodmap's commands? [03:17] gbillings: ok [03:17] ldlework_: just ask y our real question [03:17] My google chrome launcher disappears from the main menu after each reboot. [03:18] hi everyone [03:18] Mat-dgL you can run it by google-chrome [03:18] AudicaLive: don't know the numbers but it is gpu intensive especially as compared to gnome. You can either sudo apt-get install kubuntu for the interface or install virtual box, download kubuntu and try it on a virtual machine === geoffb_away is now known as geoffb [03:18] quick question is how do i install the wireless drive on my ubuntu on my laptop [03:18] i tried the lspci doesnt explain much [03:18] audicalive: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:18] Why might I be able to access a samba share from mydomain.com (from inside mydomain.com's LAN) but not from outside it? [03:18] gbillings: when you share internet, the *shared* interface takes on its own subnet, 10.42.43.X I believe. If the othermachines connected to that interface are statically assigned they will lose connectivity even though the interface looks up and ready. Devices connected to a shared interface (the secondary interface) should be set to get ip address via dhcp. [03:18] gbillings: I know, but it's just a workarround isn't it? [03:18] but i have downloaded the file tgz how do i extract it in firmware folder [03:19] jrib, okay I do 'clear Control' 'keycode 64 = Control_L' 'keycode 108 =Control_R' 'add Control = Control_L Control_R' and in emacs keycode 64 produces C-S-c-s what am I not understanding about xmodmap? [03:19] faisal_ lspci -v | less -- will tell u which card you have [03:19] any help [03:19] ldlework_: (ask the channel) [03:19] In xmodmap I do 'clear Control' 'keycode 64 = Control_L' 'keycode 108 =Control_R' 'add Control = Control_L Control_R' and in emacs keycode 64 produces C-S-c-s what am I not understanding about xmodmap? [03:20] Maletor: Likely a firewall [03:20] That is to say port scanning an external domain internal to the LAN yields different ports than from outside the LAN. Oh, but why? [03:20] !wifi > faisal_ [03:20] faisal_, please see my private message [03:20] mark66j: I'm looking at the firewall. The ports are forwarded. [03:20] yeah jrib wifi [03:20] faisal_: keep scrolling until u find something related to wireless [03:21] !wifi > gbillings [03:21] gbillings, please see my private message [03:21] where can i find a list of these [!] commands? [03:21] acerimmer, thanks, i'm already using it hahaha. I've got the plasma netbook interface up. On a desktop, it's still actually practical, and will be awesome when I get it hooked back up to the big tv back home [03:21] !ubottu > gbillings [03:21] gbillings, please see my private message [03:21] gbillings: they are secret [03:21] I'm still having a very pleasant resolution issue though. Can't get above 800x600. [03:22] thanks jrib man [03:22] gbillings: ok i restarted, and i was unable to ping 8.8.8.8 [03:22] gbillings didnt find related things [03:22] ubuntu takes for ever to calculate du while archlinux does it instantenously why is that? [03:22] greezmunky hi .. has it goin i am still having same issue to configure wireless card on my laptop [03:23] Can someone port scan 24.34.162.206 and tell me what they get? [03:23] say for a directory >2gb du -hsc . in ubuntu takes about a minute [03:23] faisal_: that howto failed you? [03:23] lagged out [03:23] swathanthran: same hosts? same cache state? [03:24] swathanthran, are you sure they are on the same sze filesystem and same group of files.. are the filesystem more fragmented on ubuntu, most likely the same code is used to build du in each version. [03:24] who needed help with wifi [03:24]

[03:29] 只有英文请 [03:29] greezmunkey: well im just trying to spit internet out of my wifi laptop. thats pretty much it [03:29] AudicaLive: hey [03:29] yaar mere ko wirelss install karne ka hai aur maloom nahi kaisa karna hai instal [03:29] Thanks Gib.

[03:29] Faisal, screenshot what you want to do, use your mouse or draw errors in GIMP or something. I should be able to try to help you [03:30] acerimmer_: so, tell me how i can fix it ? [03:30] cody__: set you xbox to get it's address from dhcp first, ok. [03:30] cody__: idk whats wrong mine just stopped working 2day it was working before [03:30] cfedde: jamesd2: and same system. [03:30] Tau: sorry. going to pass on this one. [03:30] swathanthran: I'm a bit confused about how two different oses can have access to the same directory at the same time. via nfs?

[03:30] Hi. What is the purpose of the package openssl-blacklist? is it often used by system? [03:30] would those packages from ubuntu that tell me they cannot be authenticated have anything to do with AppArmor ? [03:31] CAPcap: give a download link for the theme [03:31] cfedde: sorry not the same time but at different time.. but it was very common, every du took a long time in ubuntu and almost instantenous on arch [03:31] swathanthran, i assume that archlinux isn't runing kde or gnome thus is probably the difference since both use a lot of ram as does X in general... [03:31] Capcap, can you put up a pastebin of the error? [03:31] whoops [03:31] AudicaLive, i did [03:31] jamesd2: no, i used stumpwm on ubuntu [03:31] swathanthran bahi mei help kar do .. mere ko wirelless card kaisa install karne ka hai laptop main [03:31] good this resolution is awful, all of the messages look too similar, sorry capcap [03:31] does anyone know how to find an exploit in a kereln to gain root access [03:32] Does Ubuntu set the clock to UTC by default? [03:32] Faisal, you want Wifi on your Laptop?\ [03:32] Or does it use the local time? [03:32] yes [03:32] R3cur51v3: what clock? [03:32] audiclalive yes i do [03:32] The HW clock [03:32] R3cur51v3: depends on what you chose when you installed from the livecd [03:32] i think everything sets the HW clock to utc now === harbor_ is now known as harbor [03:32] CaptainTrek: I'm on the LiveCD right now and it didn't give me the option [03:32] CaptainTrek: you're tihnking of something different [03:32] Random832: Windows doesn't [03:33] he's not talking about the user timezone setting [03:33] R3cur51v3: i think XP and later does actually [03:33] Random832: ah [03:33] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gruppled+Cursors?content=86081 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gruppled+Glow?content=87297 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gruppled+mod+zinn+%28emerald%29?content=99013 [03:33] Random832: the HW clock has to be set to local time in order to have compatibility with Windows [03:33] R3cur51v3, unix standard is UTC [03:33] greezmunkey: it is set to auto [03:33] R3cur51v3: that was written back when the current version of windows was like 95 [03:33] or 98 [03:33] jamesd2: cfedde: damnn i missed to say that:) its ubuntu 8.04 and latest arch:) (but does it matter?) [03:33] :) [03:33] cody__: on your laptop...is that how you are chatting here? [03:33] swathanthran: I suppose I'd have to chalk it up to unknown details. If you're realy serious about investigating this then setting up a repeatable measureable test would be critical. [03:34] greezmunkey: yes i am on my laptop [03:34] cody__: ok, good are you using network manager? [03:34] ndiswrapper guide [03:34] cfedde: okay, i'll try it on newer ubuntu .. i just wanted to see if its just about missing some config some where on ubuntu so that i can make it faster on ubuntu too.. [03:34] cody__: good luck [03:35] cody__: ?? [03:35] cfedde: what configs can there be around du regarding cache? btw where can i read more about du and disk cache?(searching a bit didn't turn up what i wanted) [03:35] my Ubuntu one account isn't working!!!!!!!!!!!! [03:35] greezmunkey: yes i think i am. im right clicking on my wirless connections and it is in a managable GUI [03:35] hh [03:35] can someone take over my pc and install the wifi wireless for me please [03:35] What ccsm class does gksu fall in? [03:36] cody__: good, right click network manager, edit connections - let me know when you are there. [03:36] swathanthran: the source for du is available. I suspect that most linuxes use the same code. [03:36] FF is such a hog. Midori is better ^_^ (sorry for the randomness just really liking how light it is running) [03:37] greezmunkey: what are u telling cody__ 2 do? [03:37] i think no one is ready to help me ... [03:37] When starting a lot of different programs including games/recipe/others I get an error msg "DCOP com error. There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE. The message returned by the system was: Could not read network connection list. /home/joseph/.DCOPserver_Acer_0" Any ideas? [03:37] greezmunkey: is network manager under applications? [03:37] gbillings_: how to share his Internet connection [03:37] i been writing here and everyone directs me to a different website or pdf file [03:37] can you tell me how to share internet connection [03:38] cody__: you see the networking icon thingy upper right had side of your screen in the panel? [03:38] simple task for you guys .. install the wifi card to my pc [03:38] greezmunkey: by changin ipv4 settings? we tried that [03:38] greezmunkey: ah ok. yes i am there [03:38] cody__: ok, good [03:38] faisal_: no. your computer your responsibility. [03:38] cody__: now select your eth0, and choose edit [03:38] hey i cant install themes or open the tar.gz archives they are in. im getting an error message from archive manager http://paste.ubuntu.com/443090/ im running lucid. [03:38] acerimmer certainly but asking for help is not a crime here sir [03:38] cfedde: oh btw, is this a general problem?(does du -hsc . on a directory >20gb on an average laptop take more than 10 seconds on ubuntu?) [03:39] greezmunkey: kk [03:39] themes are: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gruppled+Cursors?content=86081 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gruppled+Glow?content=87297 http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gruppled+mod+zinn+%28emerald%29?content=99013 [03:39] CAPcap: thats for emerald [03:39] faisal_: true. and if a little bit of reading is required on your part to get YOUR system running, don't complain [03:39] cody__: next, in ipv4 select shared to other computers under "method" [03:39] hello, can someone do me a favor and request that I get an unaffiliated cloak in #freenode [03:39] swathanthran is it possible to share remote desktop over internet? [03:40] swathanthran: I've not seen that problem. I'd expect the time for du to complete would depend on the complexity of the filesystem traversed and the state of filebuffers in ram. [03:40] whenever I try to chat there it says "cannot send to channel" [03:40] one of them... really what im peeved about is the mouse theme. [03:40] is that worth being peeved about CAPcap [03:40] oic [03:40] greezmunkey: ive tried setting it to share [03:40] CAPcap you have to unzip that second one and it contains 2 themes [03:40] my issue is that the tar.gz archives seem not to be openable... and they should be [03:40] faisal_, are you running the latest ubuntu ? [03:40] I mean, some israelis shot out someone's eye today and killed a bunch of other people [03:40] !ot [03:40] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:40] swathanthran: perhaps also on which filesystem is in use. but you claim that they are the same in your case. [03:40] seems like a rather small thing to find irksome in the face of such tragedy [03:41] cody__: did you do it this time? [03:41] balck phantom yes i am running latest laptop version [03:41] l0de: please stop that [03:41] stop what [03:41] i cant unzip them. archive manager spits out this pop up error http://paste.ubuntu.com/443090/ [03:41] thinking? [03:41] cfedde: yeah both are ext3 and same directory [03:41] faisal_, what is your laptop's type and model ? [03:41] greezmunkey: i just set it to share now. i had it on automatic a moment ago [03:41] nobody has a clue on my issue? [03:41] acer timeline 5810tz [03:41] cfedde: well say it doesn't vary with directory [03:41] what is your issue alloe [03:41] cfedde: i mean the difference is seen every time.. [03:41] it's impossible to see with all the join/part spam === jesse__ is now known as Guest85559 [03:41] im going to spam but :When starting a lot of different programs including games/recipe/others I get an error msg "DCOP com error.

[03:42] yeah you fucked it up Alloeishus [03:42] black phantom its acer timeline 5810tz [03:42] how do I unfuck it up? [03:42] cody__: ok, how are you connecting between you xbox and your ubuntu box, ethernet cable, or are you using a switch?

[03:42] greezmunkey: im using an ethernet cable [03:42] christ, can I communicate without a bunch of idiots using ! commands at me [03:42] it's very rude [03:43] cody__: you know the differance between a crossover, and straight cable? [03:43] AudicaLive, what do you mean? [03:43] sorry bot script, thought it was linux lingo [03:43] at least get my damn name right [03:43] Capcap you made a comment about FF vs Midori, Midori is supposedly the commercial implementation of MS's Singularity os. How did you get it:? [03:43] delete and recreate your network connections [03:43] problem solved [03:43] !ask [03:43] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:44] cfedde: gotta go, thanks for the help:) [03:44] greezmunkey: no i do not [03:44] AudicaLive, its in the software center... [03:44] anybody know why 'apt-get install maven' tries to pull in gcj when i already have openjdk? any way to provide this? [03:44] l0de: i hate that 2 [03:44] im not going to delete my network connections. it took me a week to randomly turn things on and off in order for me to get a connection in the first place [03:44] yeah man, those people should be gassed and put in an oven [03:44] (newb to linux) [03:44] listen do you want to fix this or not [03:44] you created it wrong [03:44] i think you are thinking of something else... its just a browser [03:44] l0de: how is the radio hour going [03:44] you'll never get it right with it set up wrong in the first place [03:45] well it didnt start happening until today. [03:45] Capcap we are. i was thinking of the OS not the browser [03:45] I think its because I turn off my computer by unplkugging it [03:45] *-k [03:45] cody__: get the cable you are using, get one connector in each hand with the golden metallic parts facing up. look through the plastic, at the colors of the wires at the far left side of each conector. Are they the same color? [03:45] maybe it will fix itself if I reboot [03:46] faisal_, did you check under Admin > Hardware drivers [03:46] If it was disabled [03:46] or not ? === Guest85559 is now known as Flare-Laptop [03:46] l0de doesnt ubuntu do an auto configure on my net connections somehow? === harbor_ is now known as harbor [03:46] greezmunkey: yeah they are the same colors [03:47] cody__: that is a straight through cable and will not work for your application. do you have a switch or hub, and another one of those cables available? [03:48] How do i checksum in ubuntu [03:48] greezmunkey he can cross them over if he wants to spend some time at it :) [03:48] i did it back in my poor days [03:48] !checksum|gbillings [03:48] greezmunkey: nah i dont :\ what does a crossover cable look like? [03:48] gbillings: 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 [03:48] greezmunkey: its not working for me either; try doing the same thing on yours it DOSENT WORK! [03:48] anybody know why 'apt-get install maven' tries to pull in gcj when i already have openjdk? any way to provide this? [03:49] alloeishus: how can i do it?? [03:49] cody__: the way you had the connectors in your hads before...the colors on the left side of one connector will be on pins 3 and 6 on the other connector, like this 1>3, 2>6, and vice versa [03:50] cody__ just move them around [03:50] better idea: buy the correct cable :) [03:51] lol yeah [03:51] cody__: if you are feeling adventurous, and are good with a knife, you can hack that ethernet cable into a crossover. [03:51] ill just buy one [03:51] cody__: good plan :) [03:51] haha [03:51] thanks for the help greez! [03:51] and gbillings :) [03:51] oh its just an eth.... easy one and if you screw it up it wont hurt much anyway [03:51] gbillings_: I'm running a shared connection right now. [03:52] greezmunkey: to ur xbox? [03:52] greezmunkey hes trying to connect two computers together or what? [03:52] faisal_, your wireless driver is from Atheros, and it seems to true thats its not enabled by ubuntu [03:52] gbillings_: no, to another pc - same thing ethernet-wise though. [03:53] greezmunkey: i did it without a crossover [03:53] greezmunkey: once [03:53] gbillings_: some ethernet ports on computers are autoMDX but not all. [03:53] greezmunkey couldnt he just splice and crossover from the wires or must it be within the connector? [03:53] faisal_, consider: http://www.stchman.com/ath_drv.html [03:54] ok [03:54] anyone know a streaming video player for podcasts? [03:54] MikeChelen: iTunes [03:54] see: www.littlewhitedog.com/content-8.html [03:55] Alloeishus: he could, as a temporary solution - but if the connections are not well done he could get corrupted data, retransmit issues, etc. [03:55] MikeChelen: jk Miro worked for me [03:55] MikeChelen: sudo apt-get install miro [03:55] yeah I guess the easy solution is to buy the overpriced cable [03:55] why do my mouse themes only apply inside of programs but not on my desktop and inside of system tools? in those places i still have the original mouse theme [03:55] Alloeishus: when I need a crossover, I grab my tool kit and just make one :) [03:55] gbillings_: miro is great, but can it stream playback? [03:55] How can I prevent certain programs from stealing focus and jumping to the active workspace? [03:56] cody__ or the $90 wifi adapter :) [03:56] greezmunkey not everybody has an ethernet crimper under their bed [03:56] anybody know why 'apt-get install maven' tries to pull in gcj when i already have openjdk? any way to provide this? [03:56] Alloeishus: how did you know...??? [03:56] id rather buy the $10 crossover cable ;) [03:56] alright, so I have a question. Have any of you managed to get Lucid Lynx running on an acer aspire? [03:56] I dont think its $10 [03:57] yaaang: maven doesn't even seem to be in lucid repositories [03:57] MikeChelen: what do u mean "playback" [03:57] cody__ lol [03:57] gbillings_: playing the video [03:57] MikeChelen: yeah it worked, but it took 10 minutes to buffer [03:57] Hi, I believe that my upgrade did not complete and now I have no access (wired or wireless). How can I manually force an update (not a re-install) from a CD source? [03:57] cody__: If you have friends come over from time to time, you can get a 4 or 5 port hub/switch, and connect the pcs, and xbox together with that, and share your Internet multiple ways. [03:57] corigo you cant [03:58] ugh [03:58] corigo: why do you have that belief? [03:58] gotta go for a bit... [03:58] IRC people have friends that come over? Guess im from the old days [03:58] jrib: partially because my system has suddenly lost any memory/knowledge of its' NICs [03:58] corigo you can burn a cd and upgrade from that i believe [03:58] gbillings_: dont see how, the only videos with "play" option are the ones fully downloaded [03:59] gbillings_: Yes, exactly my question [03:59] corigo: I don't understand though, did you witness update-manager do something strange? [03:59] hey guys i am having a pretty big issue with my wifes comp [03:59] Was not present during the finalisation of the update, but it did take an inordinately long period of time [03:59] MikeChelen: oh i get it you put in the cd and ad the cd as a source [04:00] when i boot it up it doesn't go to the login screen === Jay is now known as Guest96056 [04:00] Dfw214: where does it go? [04:00] it loads up with a black screen asking for her login information [04:00] jrib: it seems to be there in mine and i also just checked on my friend's lucid system [04:00] no gui at all [04:00] hey, is it an error with GRUB if i get a blinking cursor after BIOS finishes? [04:00] !info maven [04:00] Package maven does not exist in lucid [04:00] so X isn't loading [04:00] jrib: we have no additional apt repos [04:00] yaaang: apt-cache policy maven [04:00] MikeChelen: you can add a cd as a source by going to software sources in administration [04:00] jrib: it's maven2 not maven [04:00] jrib: it stays in command prompt mode [04:01] ok, log in like normal and try running startx from the cmd line [04:01] Dfw214: what do you actually see? [04:01] jrib: a black screen that asks for her login name and password, then the command prompt [04:01] Keelan: ONLYblinking cursor, no boot [04:01] jrib: it's like i'm stuck in the terminal [04:01] corigo: you can use the alternate cd to do what you asked, but I think you are better off debugging your network issue [04:01] why do my mouse themes only apply inside of programs but not on my desktop and inside of system tools? in those places i still have the original mouse theme [04:01] !info maven2 [04:01] Dfw214: can you login? [04:01] maven2 (source: maven2): Java software project management and comprehension tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (lucid), package size 3131 kB, installed size 3648 kB [04:02] maven2 showed up [04:02] gbillings_: that was meant for corigo right? [04:02] jrib: it accepts the password but she can't use the OS [04:02] also, when my friend tries to install maven, apt doesn't try to pull in gcj; this only happens to me, and we both have openjdk installed [04:02] acerimmer_: yeah, only a blinking cursor. Its happened with 9.10 but i got it to work, but now 10.04 is doing it too [04:02] Dfw214: do you get a shell prompt? [04:02] Dfw214: you know how to use pastebin? [04:02] jrib: yeah it's just like that [04:02] yes the maven2 was [04:02] hitmanWilly: no [04:03] yaaang: what package *exactly* does it want to pull in and what package *exactly* do you think already satisfies the requirement? Hint: apt-cache depends maven2 [04:03] channel description Dfw214 [04:03] ok, log in and type startx at the cmd line [04:03] Keelan: might be some issue with splashes on boot. ask about silent/no splash commands [04:03] sorry i don't know them [04:03] channel description [04:03] jrib: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1493610 [04:03] yep [04:03] ok [04:03] Pastes to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com [04:04] yaaang: this doesn't answer my question [04:04] acerimmer_: i can't even input anything. Its not like a command prompt that i could enter commands. It just sits there and blinks [04:04] that fixed it!!! [04:04] thanks [04:04] Dfw214: that's not a fix. You need to figure out why gdm is not starting [04:04] - [04:04] I think he was being ... [04:04] jrib: can you help with that? [04:04] Keelan: during boot hit and see if you get dropped to the grub prompt. BTW how did u upgrade from 9 to 10? clean install or ...? [04:05] Dfw214: you could always try re-installing gdm to see if that fixes the issue [04:05] any fix for this:[gpg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC] [04:05] jrib: you asked what exact packages it's pulling in, and what i think already satsfies it... [04:05] jrib: both are listed in my post [04:05] gdm = gnome desktop manager? [04:05] gbillings_: don't compile things to /usr/local/ that you shouldn't need to compile? [04:05] jrib: it isn't a fix but it gives my wife a chance to use her computer for right now while i troubleshoot it [04:06] my display resolution is not working properly, i mean i cant set my resolution to my monitors default resolution [04:06] yaaang: I'm trying to understand what /you/ believe the issue to be, thus why I emphasized *exactly* in my question two times [04:06] help [04:06] what would cause that to happen though? [04:06] whenever i try to download anything from apt i get this gpg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: P [04:06] acerimmer_: no, i can't get 10.04 to install from a flash drive, but i can get 9.10 so i was updating through that and it completed fine but after the restart it broke again. [04:06] Dfw214: exit X and see if « sudo service gdm start » gives you gdm [04:06] gbillings_: did you miss my reply? [04:07] Keelan: dual? wubi? [04:07] jrib: what does that mean? [04:07] gbillings_: you didn't compile something? [04:07] acerimmer_: eh? dual? i didn't use wubi anywhere, i know that. [04:07] #piratpartiet.dk [04:07] keelan: i just installed , no probs here. used an old 9.10 usb and ran live and then used startup disk creator and used the 10.04 iso and presto [04:07] no im just trying to update my distro [04:07] jrib: the issue is that i have what i thought was a satisfactory set of dependencies (see the openjdk list at the bottom), but apt disagrees (see the install confirmations), and i don't know why [04:07] Keelan: see heaven_ idea [04:07] gbillings_: I am asking you: did you ever compile something? [04:07] jrib: so you mean shut it down and start over? [04:08] yes [04:08] Help! My mic is not working [04:08] can any body help me with display resolution prob, having it for a long time and its irritating me [04:08] yaaang: what exactly is are the packages in question. You believe every single package listed there is unnecessary? [04:08] neither is my sound ;p [04:08] How do I find the fastest mirror for apt-get? [04:08] Dfw214: no, just log out [04:08] heaven_: huh. I don't have an optical drive on my netbook, nor do I have an external drive handy [04:08] R3cur51v3: synaptic [04:08] thats why ive been having so many problems [04:08] i may just wait for 10.10 [04:08] jrib let me start over: whenever i type in gpg at a terminal i get gpg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC [04:09] jrib: of course not, i think that gcj is unnecessary [04:09] ok [04:09] R3cur51v3: up top there's a menu item for repositories - you in there there's a button for it [04:09] keelan: do u have bootable usb of 9.10? and even i dont have any physical cd drives.. [04:09] MTecknology: thanks [04:09] gbillings_: I know your question. It's because you compiled things to /usr/local/ and are now using libraries that you compiled and are probably old because you didn't maintain them. You never needed to compile them. Uninstall what you compiled to /usr/local/ [04:09] why do my mouse themes only apply inside of programs but not on my desktop and inside of system tools? in those places i still have the original mouse theme [04:09] ^ ? [04:09] heaven_: yeah, i do. It doesn't have persistence, but i don't think that matters. [04:10] yaaang: you're making it harder for me to help you... [04:10] jrib: it says job is already running, but when i logged out it sent me to the shell area again [04:10] jrib: please! let me know how i can help you help me :) [04:10] jrib: i love you thank you so so much! [04:10] huh [04:10] jrib: i'm *happy* to provide any additional information [04:10] jrib: i honestly have no clue what you need that i'm not providing [04:10] Hi! [04:10] yaaang: it would help me if you give me the exact name of the package you think is unecessar. gcj-4.4-base for example? [04:10] Anyone knows how to set socks proxy for some applications on linux, not set global proxy? [04:11] well now the problem gets weirder. I just attempted to get dropped to shell, but in the command line three "^]"'s popped up. [04:11] keelan: can u boot into ubuntu and use it(using the flash drive containing the 9.10) in live mode.? [04:11] How can I troubleshoot my NIC? [04:11] Dfw214: press ctrl-alt-f8, what do you see? [04:11] heaven_: yeah, i can [04:11] MTecknology: will it also update the preferences for apt-get? [04:11] R3cur51v3: it edits /etc/apt/sources.list - any apt based tool will use that - synaptic is an apt based tool :) [04:12] jrib: ah, now i understand what you mean. yes, gcj-4.4-base is one of them. i believe there are others but i'm not certain. however, i believe that if i can figure out what's behind the pull of gcj-4.4-base, then that may get me in the clear. [04:12] keelan: and do u have a ubuntu 10.04 iso in one of your hard drives? and do u have a spare flash drive? [04:12] MTecknology: thanks [04:12] jrib: it goes back to the regular screen [04:12] R3cur51v3: I wish I knew of a cli equiv to the mirror scan [04:12] Dfw214: what does "regular screen" mean? [04:12] heaven_: i do have a spare flash drive, but i don't currently have a 10.04 .iso. I don't think. I can check real quick [04:12] jrib: it's not at the shell screen anymore [04:12] it's back to the gui [04:12] jrib: another one is gcj-4.4-jre-lib [04:13] heaven_: well hey, i do have a 10.04 iso, in fact [04:13] jrib: here's the output of apt-cache depends maven2: http://pastebin.com/MAcYAVMR [04:14] q [04:14] [04:14] oh god, thats a new one. I held excape and my internal speaker went into a loop [04:15] escape* [04:15] keelan: that makes things easier. ok now boot into ubuntu using the 9.10 flash bootable in live mode. then plug your spare flash drive in and then go to ----->"Administration" then----> Start up Disk Creator. [04:15] give me a sec [04:15] keelan:wait [04:15] anyone know how to use hsync and vrefresh? [04:15] heaven_: i don't actually have it on my netbook, sorry, its sitting on my desktop. === arathald is now known as nskcj [04:16] alright one last try. why do my mouse themes only apply inside of programs but not on my desktop and inside of system tools? in those places i still have the original mouse theme === nskcj is now known as nskcjgrg [04:16] Dfw214: can you see if gdm is displayed after ctrl-alt-f8 after a reboot? [04:17] CAPcap: open a terminal> nautilus -q [04:17] keelan: if you have another computer with internet connection, things got a lot easier(windows will do fine) if u want to create a usb bootable ubuntu 10.04 [04:17] jrib: okay one sec [04:17] heaven_: I've attempted to create a bootable flashdrive and it works fine, but i cna't get it to install right [04:18] xangua, that didnt do anything... [04:18] Keelan: whats the prob? [04:18] when i try to install it i get some weird firmware error [04:18] yaaang: for kicks, tried installing without recommends to see if it still requires those packages? [04:18] keelan: does it show error when installing? [04:18] and then it seems to install right but when it reboots it gives me all kinds of errores [04:18] heaven_: it shows the error right before installing, then proceeds to install [04:18] then breaks === nskcjgrg is now known as arathald [04:19] yaaang: also try "aptitude why ..." and see if it says anything interesting [04:19] Keelan: u need to check the integrity of the iso(source from where u created the usb bootable) it may be corrupt [04:19] xangua, perhaps you meant some other command because all -q does is quit it right away... [04:19] heaven_: I downloaded it from a the torrent of the ubuntu site [04:19] yaaang: hmm, but to use "why" maybe you need to install [04:19] off* [04:20] Keelan: still need to check it [04:20] jrib: no it didn't work man, it went to the shell area [04:20] hello [04:20] Dfw214: and ctrl-alt-f8 does what? [04:20] does anyone now anything about the HTC HERO [04:20] acerimmer_: how exactly do I do that?

Now of course we have the issue that I have no clue where upstart jobs log to. What does your /etc/init/gdm.conf look like? [04:24] hold on my wife jumped on the computer and bogarded it from me [04:24] ok.. bareFTP is really nice [04:25] acerimmer__: can u help me with a display resolution problem i have? [04:25] I, until about 15 seconds ago, was a gftp user [04:25] but bareftp is pretty awesome [04:25] heaven_: i'll try = not my area of expertise [04:25] heaven_: I'm using the pendrivelinux bootable drive tool, and it checks integrity as well [04:25] hello [04:27] how can i change my console resolution to say 1280x800 without messing with grub ( just temp whilst sitting in front of it ) ? [04:27] acerimmer__: my ubuntu 10.04 will not display at my full resolution, it shows only till 1360 x 768, and mine is 1680 x 1050, had this same problem with 9.10 a couple of days back(but during previous installations of 9.10 there was no probs, suddenly appeared now) [04:27] jrib: interesting, the recommended packages that are pulling in gcj-4.4-* are all the libmaven-* packages === pepsi is now known as Guest32407 [04:28] keelan: sorry i couldnt be of more help, i aint the wxpert in this stuff [04:28] anyone know anything about gksudo? [04:28] jrib: libmaven-jar-plugin-java, libmaven-install-plugin-java, libmaven-clean-plugin-java, etc. [04:28] jrib: attempting to install them pulls in gcj-4.4-* [04:28] heaven_: what gpu? [04:28] !gksu | AudicaLive_ [04:28] AudicaLive_: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

[04:29] jrib: i dont want to mess with runlevel 2 that comes default. i will stop my services that i dont need at runlevel 3 and point my runlevel to 3 [04:29] jrib: e.g., http://pastebin.com/51Bp70c4 for libmaven-jar-plugin-java [04:30] heaven_: noveau conflicts? [04:30] jrib: i see bluetooth starting up, cupsd and so many more things, that i dont need. [04:30] i.e. nvidia drivers in 10.04? [04:30] arbir: ubuntu uses upstart so the concept of runlevels is no longer appropriate afaict === Maletor_ is now known as Maletor [04:30] jrib: i also see postfix starting up. i just dont need it. [04:30] !upstart > arbir [04:30] arbir, please see my private message [04:31] jrib: ok thanks . let me see that. :-) [04:31] gksu still doesn't start a gui based menu like it should. It just returns a new line in the terminal, like I didn't type anything [04:31] acerimmer__: i had some help from people here, told me to edit my xconfig, and stuff, nothig worked!! they gave up!! like 4 people here gave up!! never happned, i did pastebin of my xconfig and the editted and still nothing happed.. its a disaster, i mean its so darn simple but no body is able to fix it..----->> looks with great hope to [04:32] change console resolution without rebooting or messing with grub anyone ? [04:32] heaven I'm having a similar issue. My res is stuck at 800x600. it makes me want to kick a baby. [04:33] wow the power of linux is just amazing, [04:33] yaaang: I suppose you could keep going like this (checking the dependencies of libmaven-jar-plugin-java).... The only easier way is "aptitude why" that I know of, but then you would have to install [04:33] how could windows 7 even try 'snap feature' lol [04:33] special key + w = awesome ;D [04:33] Keelan: What happens if you boot holding shift? [04:33] okay, new questions. I'm trying to install a program using WINE, but the thing says the executable bit doesn't exist. how can i fix it? [04:33] hi. i installed ubuntu 10.04 last night and then installed the chromium browser. but it takes up 100% cpu. is that a known thing? [04:34] see a lot of people are having the same prob!! i just hate it when ubuntu is destroying my beautiful display and makes it look ugly(at low resolutions) and i am big fan of eye candy [04:34] What's the easiest way of identifying different IP's on my LAN. [04:34] heaven_: put down the uttter knife kid. I'm immune to flattery(?). Anyway, as I understand it, nvidia and 10.04 have some unresolved issues with the neauvea drivers. if that's what you're running into, I suppose using the previous drivers is the workaround, but please ask more on IRC and forums for advice. As I said, NOT MY AREA of expertise. [04:34] arbir: basically, for the jobs that are still sysv-init based, you can use something like sysv-rc-conf and for the others that have migrated to upstart you can either rename the corresponding .conf file in /etc/init to something not ending in .conf or add "never" as a condition for the job to start [04:35] jrib where can i add never ? [04:35] jrib: i just commented out the lines to disable my unwanted terminals [04:35] Does Ubuntu one music store have remastered albums on it? Are the albums the originals or the remastered versions for a band such as Rush? [04:35] arbir: commented out what lines? [04:35] acerimmer__: well flattery is worth a try right, i mean it dosnt hurt now, does it? :) *sigh: i guess ill try my options [04:36] jrib: something like this http://pastie.org/988581 [04:36] arbir: I do this for gdm: http://pastebin.com/aUQKAW7c [04:36] arbir: I guess that works too... though you might as well just rename the thing [04:36] jrib: i see tons of services that i wont need . and they are in /etc/rc2.d/ [04:37] jrib: things like bluetooth , cupsd, postfix. i dont use bluetooth [04:37] arbir: use sysv-rc-conf (make sure you know what you are doing) [04:37] jrib: yeah i am reading its man page :-) [04:37] Cuervo: try asking in #ubuntuone [04:37] arbir: you could also just uninstall the things you don't want. You don't really need the man page, it's curses based [04:37] acerimmer__: should i go to synapic application manager to download the drivers or is it like avilable in hardware drivers section only? or should i go for like really old vintage legacy drivers? [04:37] cant you turn on/off the services using update-rc.d? [04:37] IdleOne: Brilliant, thanks [04:38] jrib: you mean uninstall cups and bluetooth ? [04:38] arbir: if you don't want them, why not? [04:38] jrib: alright... sounds good to me. let me try [04:38] deadmaus: only if the service you're modifying is still sysv-init based [04:38] deadmaus: ubuntu uses upstart though [04:38] !upstart | deadmaus [04:38] deadmaus: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [04:39] ok [04:39] hey guys so i saw a build for a machine using mythbuntu, it had 2 tv tuner cards and im trying to figure out what possible purpose that could serve [04:39] anyone have any ideas?

You can just rename tty6.conf to tty6.conf.disabled is what I meant [04:40] maco: hm, i used to use it earlier to remove services i didnt need. didnt know an alternative existed. a GUI would be nicer, i guess [04:40] maco: to fast for me :) [04:40] is that the only perceivably purpose? because thats a non issue for me but it would seem to me that a normal PVR has onyl one cable input and it can record seperate channels to watching yes? [04:40] jrib: alright :-) thanks! [04:40] deadmaus: there used to be one, but not since the switch to upstart [04:40] also what would be the best way to port video to TV from a pc since vga and HDMI seem not to display proper resolutions on TVs in my experience [04:41] GuyCanada: one input but 2 tuners.. perhaps 2 cards provided 4 tuners [04:41] GuyCanada: the PVR can only record one channel at a specific time afaik [04:41] GuyCanada: 1 tuner = 1 channel [04:41] GuyCanada: if you want a tivo to watch one and record another, you install another tuner in it too [04:41] What's the easiest way of identifying different IP's on my LAN.

[04:50] ya pero no hay nadie ahi [04:50] hablas ingles? [04:50] fluxd this might be really roundabout solution but the first thing that comes to my mind would be run an audio cable from your output to your input [04:50] jrib: ok. cos i saw "synchronise large bunches of data" with unision [04:50] what is the role of the saned daemon ? [04:50] i am using ubuntu for the past 3 weeks, previously i was using kubuntu, i am very much satisfied with the os except, the sound. it sometime crashes or i hear some chirping noise.

[04:50] turn it off, arbir [04:50] antonio_: va a #ubuntu-es por favor [04:50] FluxD, you need to take a double male ended 8th inch stereo cord, and connect one end to your audio out (headphone) jack, and one to your line in (mic) jack. Then press play in whatever program is playing through your speakers, and record in audacity [04:50] my sound card is creative sb live 24bit [04:50] 8th inch is your standard headphone cable size. [04:50] arbir: It's for scanners [04:51] arbir: its for if you want to be a scanner server [04:51] deadmaus: what about pppd-dns ? [04:51] AudicaLive_, GuyCanada, on windows I use audacity and I dont have to use any of this Its the stereo or line out option I think [04:51] i even checked the cpu priority given to the pulse audio module, its high [04:51] maco: weird that this would be installed by default.. [04:51] antonio_: lo siento pero aqui tienes que ablar en ingles [04:51] can anyone help me [04:51] FluxD that's because it's recording directly from your built in Mic, which is gonna sound like crap [04:51] phoenix, do an lspci and a pastebin.

[04:52] tu si hablas español [04:52] arbir: not really. youve got a printer/scanner multifunction thingy attached to your computer. you're on a network. someone else on the network wants to print/scan... between cupsd and saned, they can, without having to unplug things [04:52] deadmaus: super ! :-) just what i wanted.. i am so used to the rc.conf style scripts... i find it hard to manage it this way [04:52] antonio_: entra en el canal por favor [04:52] greezmunkey hello [04:53] antonio_: inglés aquí. para español, va a #ubuntu-es [04:53] the new exploit version of israel ubuntu : http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=ar&tl=en&u=http://www.almanar.com.lb/NewsSite/NewsDetails.aspx%3Fid%3D140017%26language%3Dar&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&usg=ALkJrhgUhrb_XaUZxQUkWU-BVnxhBGJGqA [04:53] after reading all that .. this is the error it come up with [04:53] ðóññêèå åñòü?

And yes, by default Audacity in Windows will record from the built in mic because nothing is plugged into your line in Jack. The (Windows version of audacity at least ) program runs a check when you start it if anything is plugged in, and if not, it defaults to the mic.

[04:55] FluxD, this is gonna give you a very airy, distorted sound, it'll sound like you're on an old cell phone. If you absolutely have to use Audacity, record using the cable I mentioned earlier. It's the only way to get remotely clear audio from what would normally be coming from your speakers. My guess is you're trying to record from an internet radio or youtube. If so (watch whether or not this is legal, which varies upon different [04:55] sites) that's the way you'd get the best quality [04:56] so help plz [04:56] AudicaLive_, an alternative to audacity on linux ? [04:56] still dont get it why the folks at mozilla decided to go with sqlite :( reason for most of the hangups [04:57] faisal: what error i am seriously confuse [04:57] FluxD: Pulseaudio can let you save the sound output from applications, /join #pulseaudio for help with that [04:57] FluxD, that's what I figured. Audacity would suffice for that. though I would use Ardour 2 if you're ok with using something kinda complicated. It's an equivalent to ProTools on Windows or OSX (to a degree.)

[05:07] jrib: i stand corrected. my friend's system had gcj-4.4-base et al after all. this really does appear to be the dependency chain, for whatever reason. i also checked on an entirely different lucid box and found the same thing. quite annoying that installing any java packages will pull in gcj stuff, but i guess that's how things stand. [05:07] yaaang: agree with it being annoying [05:07] How do i install arm-elf-gcc in ubuntu 10.04? [05:07] jrib: thanks for all your help anyway [05:08] anybody having sound issues? i seem to have lost sound ... flash video is working, but no sound .. was fine yesterday [05:08] yaaang: no problem, I learned about apt-cache dotty [05:08] hey any screenlets that detect the temps of my sensors? === ldlework_ is now known as ldlework [05:09] i use gkrellm which has support for lmsensors for temperatures [05:09] Are there any known issues with the top task bar using 10.04?

[05:15] gbillings: what program? [05:16] jrib: the greenp0ison iphone toolkit [05:16] Theo: normally with external (USB) hard drives it just automatically mounts and appears on the desktop. Is it a USB drive? [05:16] cellofellow: the fix is to open properties and move task bar to the right side then back to the top and it will fix the whole thing. It is a glitch with my task bar. The bar has to be moved to the right, neither left or bottom will fix. [05:16] jrib: i have another annoyingly common question. [05:16] cellowfellow: I have no custom settings and did a clean install, not an upgrade. [05:16] jrib: is there a way i can turn off notifications ?

[05:17] Pooterman: weird [05:17] arbir: I don't know the right way. I wrote my own notifications daemon that catches them and sends them to a fifo a while ago though, you could always do something like that for the kludge way [05:18] jrib: alright.. thanks.. let me look into it [05:18] cellowfellow: ya, that's what I have been thinking. what is the name of the config file that acts like a windows registry but for linux? How do I basically reset it? [05:19] so my mythbuntu is installing and it says "did you know you can record multiple programs with a single digital tuner" so i think that rules out the previous suggestion of why 2 would be nescessary [05:19] cellofellow: [05:19] hey guys, whats up [05:19] Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [05:19] Bus 004 Device 006: ID 0556:0001 Asahi Kasei Microsystems Co., Ltd AK5370 I/F A/D Converter [05:19] Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [05:19] Greetings.

[05:21] Did anyone have any information regarding my question, or did it get lost to the flooding? lol.

[05:21] greezmunkey: alright.. i am rebooting now . lets see if it works or not. [05:21] ive used gdesklets, it has lots of different ones bricky. often its a general gague and the standard output is cpu usage but you can change the options to display something else, such as temperature [05:21] arbir: I didn't find anything that stated that it was the "right" way, so why not this? Keep a not of what you did, and undo it if it causes problems [05:21] er, UI for the sensors [05:22] jrib: so when u ssh over wifi its slow?

[05:26] cellofellow: Alright, how about now http://paste.ubuntu.com/443116/ [05:27] gbillings: jailbreak.. ever since i moved to 3.1.3 on my 3gs, damn i am stuck with Steve Jobs radicalism [05:27] Theo: it's in there this time [05:27] dj_segfault: you just said you could alt+tab to it.

[05:29] arbir: on 3.1.3 firmware w/ redsn0w or blackra1n you had to jailbreak it and you couldnt turn it off or else it killed the bootchain; in orded to correct it you would have 2 plug it in to ur computer [05:29] gbillings: in that guide of yours, is that a dash after python-dev ? or is something missing ? [05:30] no thats just the beginning of my comments [05:30] can you guys read my text? [05:30] arbir - r u doing it rite now?

[05:41] thanks [05:41] obert-: you can cat the ISO to the usb device (ugly) or you can make a bootable usb with unetbootin... [05:41] thanks doctech, do you have any suggestions for output? as i said ive output to tvs in the past with VGA and hdmi and the picture is usually too big for the screen and not clear [05:41] because i want to dont loose data [05:42] zcat[1]: hah that works [05:42] is there any way to make ubuntu use pidgin as chat instead of emphathy? [05:42] GuyCanada: HDMI should be clear :-/ [05:42] obert-: you won't lose anything [05:42] weak hardwares [05:42] Sereph: just remove empathy from the panel and pretend it doesn't exist? lalala [05:42] Docteh: apparently you can just dump the ISO on the USB drive.. I've never done it that way though [05:42] obert: it just boots the usb no lost data unless you format the HD-- you can only do that if ur not paying attention [05:42] hmmm [05:43] and i'm just awake since minutes.everytime can goes wrong at this time [05:43] well perhaps its becasue i hdmi out from a working laptop? when i alt f8 to change output the HDAMI that goes to tv is larger than the television( when i move the mouse to a screen edge it moves to other portions of the image) [05:43] Docteh: the little chat thing next to my name on the panel uses empathy... can i change it to pidgin or not [05:43] doctech the video also seems poor or slightly offset from itself or soemthing [05:43] GuyCanada: ick [05:44] Does Ubuntu provide client software to access The Wide Area Information Server (see RFC2151)?

As I understand it, the "login" keyring is unlocked at login. So, I want to move all of my passwords into it, from the "default" keyring. How do I do this? [06:34] then which is the good multimedia player i can install? [06:35] Semperfi30: also it looks like it trashes the current alsa and compiles its own, alsa is an api for doing sound cards so its kind of useful ;) [06:35] sreeju, use Totem; it works well [06:35] hey guys, so i just set up a seperate screen with my HDTV using my laptops HDMI. its saying the resolution is 1280x800 even tho native HD is 1280x720 why is this and why cant i select 1280x720 as an option [06:35] any hpodder users here? I just noticed it's missing after my upgrade to lucid. did that happen to others or just me? [06:35] Docteh: How do I check to make sure Buntu is still using ALSA? [06:35] Nick__: remove all 3 of those packages. You have 3 plugins and they are conflicting. I will give a link for 64bit flash. Works great [06:35] Docteh: To make sure it hasn't been deleted [06:35] totem ,is it playes all formats [06:36] ActionParnship ..How to remove those packages? [06:36] hi guys.. I have a severely broken package... wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to fix it? [06:36] Nick__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [06:36] what is its approx size [06:36] Semperfi30: I dont have an answer for that :( [06:37] Nick__: use software-centre or: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename1 packagename2 etc [06:37] Nick__: I'm on a g1 phone, if I was on a proper PC I'd give the full command, sorry dude [06:38] can someone that's using 64bit lucid run apt-cache search hpodder and tell me if you get anything? [06:38] Nick__: you get the idea though. Remove the packages in your output then use the link to run the one command for 64bit flash [06:38] every time I run the package manager, it tries and fails to configure this unsuccessfully installed set of packages... sudo apt-get autoremove doesn't work.. sudo apt-get install -f doesn't work.. nothing works :( [06:38] it's not even showing up in my repos!

[06:39] Docteh: Hmm wellll what do you suggest I do? [06:39] Docteh: Is there anyway I can uninstall the ALSA API and Re-Install it? [06:40] Docteh: Realtek is used in a lot of motherboards so...If I'm having this issue there must be others with the same problem...More with solutions than with problems... [06:40] why doesn't it simply install from the existing setup in the cd? [06:40] which is the best multimedia player? [06:40] well uh where did you start off today? was sound working or no? [06:40] Docteh: Nope [06:40] sreeju: vlc 4 lyfe [06:40] Docteh: I've been working all day sooo tonight...At around midnight [06:41] Docteh: It worked when I installed Lucid for the first time a couple of days ago [06:41] any other? === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux_ [06:41] sreeju: No, theres no need to use any other... [06:41] Docteh: is it possible that advanced power management, mixed with suspending Ubuntu, and then turning it back on after suspension, caused a corruption in the alsa API? [06:41] sreeju: i think you were having trouble with mplayer earlier, i'm not a fan of gstreamer [06:42] please, could someone using lucid check their repos for hpodder for me? apt-cache search hpodder [06:42] ok [06:42] pat5star: nothing [06:42] Semperfi30: well sometimes waking up from sleep the hardware doesn't wake up, so a reboot has to get done :( [06:42] pat5star: Not there for me, but it is there in 64 bit debian unstable [06:42] CaptainTrek: ty [06:42] Jordan_U: ty [06:42] Docteh: Yeah but this is built into the motherboard... [06:42] pat5star: You're welcome. [06:43] weird, I wonder what happened to it [06:43] it's such an awesome program and I wouldn't have upgraded if I knew :( [06:43] Docteh: I think I'm never using sleep mode again, it gives me issues in Ubuntu, and Windows === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes [06:43] wubi is downloading ubuntu amd64 iso torrent while installing on xp...........why doesn't it simply install from the existing setup in the cd? [06:43] hola alguna chica interezante e inteligente??????????????????????????? [06:43] Semperfi30: that just means the chip is on the motherboard unless its part of the north/southbridge [06:43] Docteh: in WIndows I get blue screen dialog boxes upon hard reboots (Because it wouldn't wake the computer [06:44] carlos_: This channel is english only. It is also a support channel, not a social channel. [06:44] Docteh: Did I mention, that sometimes when I tell ubuntu to restart, it won't...it sends me to the login screen. Same with shutting down, I have to use the terminal. And then if it does work (Via the GUI) it will freeze on the Ubuntu logo. [06:45] hola alguna chica interezante e inteligente??????????????????????????? [06:45] haha ouch, ubuntu really hates that computer [06:45] carlos_: English only, thanks.

[06:46] Docteh: Why can't anyone explain these anomalies [06:46] when I say 'last tweet', I guess I mean what your current twitter status is [06:47] Docteh: Ubuntu doesn't hate my computer, it has to be something with Ubuntu... [06:48] well ubuntu works fine on the computers i run it on, i've had problems in the past with nvidia's drivers but thats about it [06:48] pat5star: Interesting, the source package exists in lucid, but not the binary package. [06:49] nothing, hmmm....I guess there probably ain't many *buntu users that would bother installing tweetdeck, which results in installing adobe air. Can't say I blame anyone. [06:49] Docteh: DId you look at my pastebin. It showed Ubuntu was using Intel drivers for audio...And that can't be possible...I'm running AMD...AMD mobo, AMD processor.... [06:49] Jordan_U: yeah, this is very weird. In all my upgrades I've never seen anything like this happen. I'm googling it right now but haven't found any info yet [06:50] Jordan_U: I was shocked when I just went to update some podcasts and hpodder wasn't there anymore! [06:51] Semperfi30: its similar to using amb64 packages on my Intel Quad core [06:51] cannot install mini anywhere.sata hd got errors, ide hd wont be helpfull [06:51] Jordan_U: I'm wondering if this is some sort of problem with a dependency of hpodder, because as far as I know, it's a fairly popular package and has decent support and interest [06:51] Docteh: ....I want this fixed -.- [06:52] pat5star: Try "sudo apt-get build-dep hpodder && apt-get source --build hpodder" [06:52] Semperfi30: so if you run a music player does it whine about lack of sound hardware or you just dont hear anything? [06:52] Hi. When I click Places, Connect to Server, there is an option to bookmark the location. Where are these bookmarks exactly? Thanks! [06:53] could be something as simple as its outputting to the wrong audio jack :-/ [06:53] pat5star: The source will be downloaded to and built in the current directory, so you may want to cd somewhere first. [06:53] Jordan_U: ok, giving it a try, ty :) [06:53] pat5star: You're welcome. [06:53] Docteh: One sec [06:54] Nevermind... :) [06:55] Docteh: Rythmnbox is letting me play stuff but it's not complaining, Sound Preferences shows it as having audio output in the applications tab...Other than that...nothing sound wise.

It would take me awhile to d/l that even if I wanted too :( [06:57] pat5star: That's not abnormal when installing build dependencies, especially if you don't compile software often. [06:57] Jordan_U: I never compile software on this computer, I certainly wasn't expecting that! [06:58] wow thats a lot [06:59] Jordan_U: a good chunk of those packages are texlive*, which I don't know what that is [06:59] pat5star: I'll try compiling it for you since I have most of the dependencies already, though it likely will fail (or else it would be in the repos). [07:00] Jordan_U: ty, but don't worry about it. I have to go soon and I'd rather google it and find out what's going on... [07:00] Jordan_U: I really appreciate the offer [07:00] Docteh: Sooo yeah I guess I'm just screwed >.> [07:01] :( [07:01] Jordan_U: I have another computer that I haven't upgraded yet still running karmic [07:01] Jordan_U: that I can use hpodder on to get the podcasts I want [07:02] so hpodder is in karmic but not lucid? [07:02] maybe theres just no maintainer for the package, hey Jordan_U step up to the plate ;) [07:03] Docteh: lol, tomorrow I'll look into more and I'd be very surprised to find that nobody is maintaining it. if you like podcasts, it's a great podcatcher.

I simply replaced Exception with OldException and you can get the package I built here: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/hpodder_1.1.5.0_amd64.deb Eventually OldException will be depricated so this is not a long term solution, but it should work fine. [08:04] I don't want one to be extracted [08:04] kk [08:04] now it's installing, i didn't realize i had to type y [08:04] hello, does anybody know virtualbox irc channel? [08:04] okay [08:04] finished [08:04] Now [08:05] What do i do, just type gparted in terminal? [08:05] puser: #vbox [08:05] well_laid_lawn: thanx [08:05] np:] [08:06] wildbat [08:06] I have it installed, what do i do now? [08:07] deathnight114, hmm? just run it ~ it is user-friend gui tools [08:07] bullgard4: http://nopaste.ns-linux.org/?YzM4NT [08:07] wildbat, deathnight114, I don't get it, he says he took 100GB for linux to install, doesn't he just want to delete his linux partition and attach it to his ntfs again? [08:07] What? [08:07] Jordan_U: AWESOME! I've been working on another problem I have right now and I'm going to finish that up first, but I've downloaded your package and I've bookmarked that link you provided. I'll get to it first thing in the morning... [08:07] I just want it so that windows can use that 100GB again [08:07] wv, hmmm uhh, i have a question, is there any way to get back the hard drive space i partitioned on windows so that i could install ubuntu? [08:07] And linux to have access to it all too [08:08] Jordan_U: and I'll look for you here afterwards, or some other time, and let you know how I made out. I really, really appreciate your help! :) [08:08] I already have ubuntu [08:08] I just was typing too fast LOL [08:08] deathnight114, hold on ... you wanna have windows partitions resize or the ubuntu partitions? [08:08] uhh [08:08] I want the partitions to fuse [08:08] pretty much [08:09] so that there is only one [08:09] And they are both on it [08:09] fusing partitions? will not work [08:09] then you must use the windows-install method (forgot the name) [08:09] then ubuntu is installed in a folder instead of a partition [08:09] So, i gotta do this in windows then? [08:09] I already have ubuntu installed [08:10] Believe me, i tried that LOL i could never get it to work [08:10] yes, but you installed ubuntu on a (ext4?) seperate partition [08:10] Theo: Your USB hard disk is not mounted. [08:10] of 100GB [08:10] Yes [08:10] and your windows is on a ntfs partition [08:10] But, my windows OS Can't access that at all [08:10] I want it to be able to [08:10] you can not merge them [08:10] deathnight114, and you wanna resize that 100GB ubuntu ? [08:10] So it has 1TB [08:11] no [08:11] deathnight114: please, ease up on the enter key, try to keep your descriptions/answers on one line [08:11] I want to merge them [08:11] bullgard4: Yes, I was hoping to get help with that [08:11] Sorry oCean_ [08:11] it's a really bad habbit [08:11] Theo: Please nopaste the output of '~$ lsusb'. [08:12] deathnight114, what you want is not possible [08:12] deathnight114, you can't merge ext4 and a ntfs partition ...... windows run on ntfs, your ubuntu need ext4 ~ [08:12] pat5star: Please file a bug report if one hasn't been filed already. For someone who knows the code a permanent fix will probably be just as easy to find as the temporary one was for me, and debian will be hit by this as well once they upgrade to a newer version of GHC (if I understand correctly). [08:12] Then why is ubuntu able to read the stuff on my windows partition? [08:12] wise_crypt: how do I know if it worked...? [08:13] deathnight114, because ubuntu has ntfs-drivers [08:13] deathnight114, what you CAN do is that you have 3 partition ~ A) ext4 for ubuntu B) NTFS fr windows system C) NTFS for others stuff [08:13] but windows has no ext4 drivers [08:13] hmm [08:13] hello, need help with grub2 [08:13] Jordan_U: sure, I will. What language is the source code in, did you notice? [08:13] okay [08:13] pat5star: Haskell [08:13] messed grub2 up with startup manager [08:13] bullgard4: http://nopaste.ns-linux.org/?MTk1YW [08:13] So is there no possible way to allow windows to read the stuff on my ubuntu partition? [08:13] now the menu only comes up for a second and then disappers [08:14] deathnight114, OR ~ you wanna do a wubi install that put ubuntu in a NTFS file [08:14] Jordan_U: ugh, well I won't be doing any serious coding on it myself then [08:14] Ehh [08:14] Yes, Wubi, that was what I meant by installing ubuntu from within windows [08:14] I can't do any more OS Installs right now [08:14] :/ [08:14] I don't want to uninstall it [08:14] I'm a noobie, would be a pain [08:14] Jordan_U: like I said, I'll get to it first thing in the morning, let you know afterwards how I made out, and if needed, I'll file appropriate bug reports....thanks so much again for all your help :) [08:14] then you'll have to stick with what you have... [08:14] CaptainTrek: open it with diff user [08:14] temporarytao_, maybe you just need to increase the timeout limit. [08:15] pat5star: You're welcome. [08:15] Theo: Please do the same after having unplugged your USB hard drive. [08:15] Well, thanks anyways, i g2g D: cya [08:15] nataraj_s, did that already. i even put in -1 (which was supposed to make it wait indefinitely) [08:15] no luck [08:15] wise_crypt: does that include superuser? [08:15] nataraj_s, does the timeout entry need to be surrounded by quotation marks? [08:16] CaptainTrek: yup [08:16] temporarytao_, did you do, sudo update-grub after changing the timelimit? [08:16] yep [08:16] wise_crypt: erm... [08:16] temporarytao_, which file did you edit? [08:16] i think something is borked somewhere... [08:16] wise_crypt: its not working, superuser can see past it [08:16] /etc/default/grub [08:16] bullgard4: http://nopaste.ns-linux.org/?NTY5OD [08:16] CaptainTrek: did you read all of them [08:17] wise_crypt: yeah i'll try again but... [08:17] CaptainTrek: no chmod using sudo in ~ ok [08:18] nataraj_s, i also tried holding down the shift key but that does not work either === srynkiewicz is now known as slav [08:18] temporarytao_: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub? [08:18] wise_crypt: yeah that might be the reason xD [08:18] Jordan_U, will do [08:18] CaptainTrek: remove the ~/personal [08:19] Theo: So your kernel's USB subsystem recognizes your hard drive as "Seagate RSS LLC". -- Now you need to mount this hard drive. [08:19] CaptainTrek: remove the ~/personal *using sudo again [08:19] test [08:19] wise_crypt: remove with sudo? i did rm -rf on it without sudo and it worked [08:19] i'm recreating now [08:19] bullgard4: Ok, so I'm guessing I'm gonna want to replug it...then what? [08:19] CaptainTrek: ok === roygbiv is now known as Guest94295 [08:21] Theo: Yes. Please re-plug it. Then look in Nautilus if you can find a device /dev/sdb or similar. [08:23] hi [08:23] Hi [08:23] Hello [08:23] Jordan_U, this is the link: http://pastebin.com/e1Sm8aud [08:23] sorry for the delay [08:23] bad network [08:23] Can anyone help quick with an absolute noob? Me? [08:24] bullgard4: There is no "sdb", but there is "shm" and "snd" [08:24] Can someone tell me how to trace a file-types icon to its location on my system, i want to set another filetype to the same icon [08:24] temporarytao_, hmm, update-grub should have made the change permanent. You can always re-install grub2 using the CD if nothing else works. [08:24] nataraj_s, i'd rather not do that. i can still boot to ubuntu but i can't boot to windows which i need atm [08:25] !ask | vivian [08:25] vivian: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:25] Theo: "snd" stands for "sound" and is not what we want. -- Let me see what shm stands for. [08:25] temporarytao__: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [08:25] hi can i know whats the directory of our dvd drive? [08:25] Jordan_U, okay [08:25] Hi Pat, how can I change to a channel? [08:25] specifically, do I have to join another server === juju2143 is now known as [J] [08:26] vivian: no no, you're good here, you're in the ubuntu channel (#ubuntu). Go ahead, ask :) [08:26] Pat, what I mean is that I want to join a channel: irc://irc.quakenet.org/#assaultcube [08:26] Jordan_U, here's the link: http://pastebin.com/ULSuZBwD [08:27] How do I do that? [08:27] I have finished using disk-utility to create a raid-5 array(/dev/md0) and would like to auto-start it and mount it on startup -- this is not my primary drive, I have my OS on a single disk [08:27] Hello again, respected members [08:27] Theo: "shm" probably stands for "shared memory" and is nto what we want either. [08:27] vivian: connect to the quakenet server and type /join #assaultcube [08:27] temporarytao__, you would be able to boot to both Ubuntu and Windows even after re-installing grub from the Live CD. You only need to run sudo update-grub once in Ubuntu after re-installing grub. [08:27] s/nto/not/ [08:28] Theo, do "sudo fdisk -l" see if it listed [08:28] Pat, thank you plenty!! Have a nice day! [08:28] vivian: yw, u2 [08:28] nataraj_s, i was able to earlier. but then, i used "startup manager" to set the timeout to 0 because i rarely use windows and i want to boot directly to ubuntu [08:28] temporarytao__: Yes, and you can replace the existing grub2 installation with a new one, with same entries (automatically set) [08:28] How do I get desktop effects to work in 10.04 with the new nouveau driver? [08:29] temporarytao__: Well, which version of Ubuntu are you using? 10.04? [08:29] temporarytao__: Odd, that grub.cfg looks correct (the menu should never time out). Could you pastebin the output of this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ ? It may be that you have another grub.cfg somewhere that is actually being read. [08:29] now, i need to boot to windows and i can't access the grub menu any longer. it appears only for an instant no matter what timeout value i give [08:29] wildbat: http://nopaste.ns-linux.org/?YjFmZD Yes, it's listed [08:29] !ask [08:29] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:29] rocket16, 10.04 [08:29] wise_crypt: superuser can still see it [08:29] how do i set an icon for a specified mimetype? [08:29] temporarytao__: If so, StartUp manager won't work. It is made for Grub, and from 9.10, Grub2 is the latest one. So, StartUp manager won't work, and will create only a mess. [08:30] wise_crypt: ahhhh.... nevermind [08:30] wise_crypt: the filenames are visible... but the data is encrypted [08:30] temporarytao__: StartUp manager is only upto 9.04, [08:30] sweet [08:30] rocket16, yeah, i think i messed that up [08:30] rocket16: statup manager supports grub2, just not particularly well. === northwoods is now known as Northwoods [08:30] Jordan_U, +1 on that, definitely [08:31] Which is the best font for XChat , which is easliy readable ? [08:31] temporarytao__: You need to reinstall Grub2 from Livecd [08:31] Xchat on ubuntu [08:31] rocket16, ? [08:31] rocket16, i'd rather not go that far just yet [08:31] Northwoods: To me, it is Comic Sans MS [08:32] ok thankyou , any other suggestions ? [08:32] temporarytao__: Ok, then just reinstall it using apt-get, that will work too. [08:32] wise_crypt: how do I create a launcher though? it doesn't accept the options when i type it all in [08:32] does irssi have setiing to disable loging (ex. ...joined... quit etc.)? [08:32] Theo, there you go /dev/sdb1 is your drive to mount then you can mount it with mount command. [08:32] !netsplit [08:32] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:32] !quietirssi | slav [08:32] slav: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [08:33] CaptainTrek: what desktop ? [08:33] ubottu: ty :) [08:33] wise_crypt: yeah a desktop launcher [08:33] wise_crypt: to mount it [08:33] CaptainTrek: if in gnome on top of panel [08:33] wise_crypt: yeah i tried that [08:34] the launcher didnt work [08:34] Hello guys, i have a question about automounting a disk [08:34] CaptainTrek: right click create launcher [08:34] I have a message saying , Important updates available for software on this computer on my ubuntu , should i go and update all of them ? [08:34] wise_crypt: it didn't pass the arguments to the mount [08:34] wise_crypt: i know HOW to make a launcher, but it just didnt do it is all [08:34] wildbat: so I would tell it to mount /dev/sdb1/ ? [08:35] I accidentally hit some key combination and now ubuntu's color scheme is completely inverted, color-wise === usuario is now known as javierxd [08:35] rocket16, are there any inbuilt wallpapers for ubuntu ? [08:35] CaptainTrek: which arg [08:35] if i do "fdisk -l" i see the disk, and the system is "Linux Swap / Solaris" what do i type to my fstab file ? === javierxd is now known as Guest8196 [08:36] CaptainTrek: Application in Terminal [08:36] wise_crypt: this one: key=passphrase,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16,ecryptfs_passthrough=n [08:36] Northwoods: Sure, many are there. Along with Bisigi, many are provided, also you can get many others. [08:36] wise_crypt: I KNOW HOW TO MAKE A FREAKING LAUNCHER! I've mande them before [08:36] made* [08:36] rocket16, i cannot find any on the installed version , do i need to download [08:36] ? [08:36] What is the Super button? [08:36] CaptainTrek: no need to use caps === Guest8196 is now known as usuario [08:36] wise_crypt: the QUESTION is: why is it not passing said args through? [08:36] Theo, simpliest thing to do is "sudo mkdir /media/1TBUSB; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/1TBUSB [08:36] NitzchONot: something like /dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0 [08:37] Northwoods: Surely you can, go to synaptic and search for the term wallpaper, and that will show you a list of wallpaper-packages [08:37] I did a test install on a small partition and the livecd overwrote my grub on the MBR. Now I'm back on my main ubuntu install. How can I restore my grub without messing things up? Should I use grub-install. [08:37] rocket16, ok thankyou [08:37] buena [08:37] hi [08:37] well_laid_lawn, "none" ? oO [08:37] Northwoods: My pleasure, :) [08:37] and there is message for me to update my software on ubuntu [08:37] hI [08:37] CaptainTrek: but it works in terminal right ? [08:37] temporarytao_, If all else fails, hope http://pastebin.com/ky0m2jDK helps :) [08:37] its about 200 mb for all files [08:37] 116 files [08:37] should i update it ? [08:37] rocket16, ? [08:38] NitzchONot: none is the mountpoint [08:38] temporarytao_, you probably know how to do it thought [08:38] wise_crypt: o.O didnt think to pass it into terminal directly [08:38] lemme check [08:38] Northwoods: Any problem there friend? [08:38] NitzchONot: swap doesn't get mounted to a file [08:38] wildbat: Thank you! :D [08:39] rocket16, yes , my ubuntu is asknig me to update my software , its about 116 files [08:39] i neded help === neutrino is now known as tar- [08:40] who can help me in BackTrack4 [08:40] wise_crypt: i typed it into terminal, kicked me to the mount helpscreen [08:40] er help page [08:40] well_laid_lawn, aham well cant i mount it to a folder then? What i do, it's to automount it when the system starts. in my other PC, what i did whas to define the disk by UUID and mount it to a folder i created "/media/disk2mount" [08:40] i wanna install yahoo messenger [08:40] (Sorry, wall of text :) ) [08:40] Northwoods: Oh, sure. You can prevent those updates too, although better to keep System updated for better efficiency, [08:41] should i update it ? [08:41] "UPdate Manager" [08:41] NitzchONot: why? - if it is labeled swap and uses the sw filesystem in fstab that's all you need afaik [08:41] rocket16, ok thanks [08:42] Hi [08:43] AliParto: use evolution or pidgin instead [08:43] who are spanish here ? [08:43] !es [08:43] En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [08:43] wise_crypt: any ideas? [08:44] CaptainTrek: working on it [08:44] wise_crypt: mmkay, its 4:00 AM here so I need sleep is all [08:44] CaptainTrek: ok [08:45] rocket16, one last question , when i tried to played mp3 , it started downloading some packages (searched for suitable plugin ) , i did download them , they were gstreamer-ffmpeg , gstreamer-fluendo-mp3 , gstreamer-plugin-ugly , when i clicked install , it said check if your country needs license , do i need license to play mp3 ? [08:45] well_laid_lawn, can i bother you in private ? :) [08:45] Northwoods: What country? [08:45] Jordan_U, India [08:46] Northwoods: No problem. Just install them. In India, no such obligation is there, as I am from India too. [08:46] hi all, I'm having trouble with oss4-base, synaptic gives this error message during installation: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/ossinfo.1.gz', which is also in package oss-linux 0:4.2-2003, dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) [08:46] rocket16, allright , thankyou [08:46] Northwoods: My pleasure [08:46] I've no idea about this error, moved ossinfo.1.gz file but still same error [08:47] NitzchONot: keep it in the channel pls :] - i don't know everything [08:48] any suggestions? google returns 0 results for the error. I can't believe how much is to use oss [08:49] wise_crypt: i'm goin to sleep, use memoserv to get me the solution if you find one [08:50] CaptainTrek: sudo mount -t ecryptfs ~/Personal ~/Personal [08:51] hey, I can't find my sound control [08:51] *BUMP* ! === manchot is now known as airbender [08:58] sje46: That is possibly due to Sound applet error. Reset the panels, and it will help. [08:58] !resetpanel | sje46 [08:58] sje46: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [08:58] thank you! [08:58] sje46 [08:58] My screen automatically locks itself when inactive for about 15 mins , and my update manager stops , how can leave my system on , so that my screen doens't lock and download continues ? [08:59] rocket16, ? [08:59] any idea ? [08:59] sje46: You are most welcome, :) [09:00] Northwoods: Sorry friend, I was afk. What was the question? [09:00] My screen automatically locks itself when inactive for about 15 mins , and my update manager stops , how can leave my system on , so that my screen doens't lock and download continues ? [09:00] Northwoods, checked screensaver preferences? uncheck lock screen when inactive, and set the timeout to longer [09:01] bazhang, ok , let me try , thankyou [09:01] Northwoods: Go to System-Prefrerences-Screensaver, and there, drag the panel to 2 hours. [09:01] Northwoods, you can also check Power Management (accessible from SS preferences) [09:01] lol [09:01] If i set the screensaver on , will that let my downloads continue ? [09:02] Northwoods, should do, I'd check the Power Management, to be honest [09:02] Northwoods: Yes, [09:02] ok , yes i have configured power management [09:02] as well [09:06] some themes are so hard to instlal hahaa [09:07] bricky, from the theme manager? [09:07] hmm [09:07] !themes [09:07] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [09:07] http://dupondje.be/DSCF1025.JPG => Any idea's ? System crashes after that :s [09:07] which one do you use? [09:07] bazhang [09:08] bricky, which one did you have trouble with? got a link? [09:08] bricky: You can get several nice themes at Bisigi project at http://www.bisigi-project.org/?page_id=6&lang=en [09:08] yes im looking for it as we speak :) [09:10] dupondje: Could you try using an untainted upstream kernel from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? [09:10] Hello. can someone tell me a decent photo editor ? I need it for taking screenshots, and then selectong only a part of the screenshot for further use. I think Gimp is actually too complex for this [09:11] Jordan_U: a 2.6.33 ? or daily ? or .34 ? :) [09:11] i am facing problem in internet [09:12] sburjan: Ubuntu comes with it's own screenshot utility. [09:12] Applications - Accessories - Take Screenshot. [09:13] dupondje: 2.6.34 is probabl most likely not to kernel panic, 2.6.32 will have the most relevance to Ubuntu 10.04's shipping kernel. [09:13] sburjan: It also has an option to take a screenshot of only part of your screen. [09:13] i know. but I'll only need a part from that screenshot.. I'll have to cut out a part from the middle of it [09:13] ah.. okay [09:13] I'll try that [09:14] sburjan: Also, GIMP isn't that hard to use for simple cropping and a 'crop job' can be done in a few minutes (probably less). [09:14] installing linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_amd64.deb [09:16] can anyone tell me how to set chrome (for example) as my default web browser? i still have applications launching firefox [09:16] is t here any shortcut in taking the screenshot ? [09:16] shimmr7: Go to System-Prefrecnes-preferred applications, and set chrome as default browser. [09:17] sburjan: I don't think so, I think the best bet would be to hotkey the screenshot utility and just roll with that. [09:17] rocket16: thank you! much obliged! [09:17] can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to use SVN? [09:17] sburjan: Go to System-Prefrecnes-Keyboard Shortcuts, and set a new shortcut there, making hotkey of this command: gnome-screenshot --interactive [09:18] shimmr7: You are most welcome, :) [09:18] my internet is not working i think that some files r been croupted [09:18] plz help [09:20] !details | gaurav [09:20] gaurav: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:20] Jordan_U: booted, lets see if we can reproduce it now [09:20] gaurav: how can you be accessing the irc without internet === root is now known as Guest28702 [09:23] Jordan_U: now it locked up, without stacktrace === kiann is now known as superlou === superlou is now known as kiann [09:24] ow, it says 'BUG: cpu soft lockup ...' [09:25] dupondje: Can you file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug linux"? (if you're able to boot far enough to do so) [09:25] sburjan: Actually, yeah, you can hotkey the gnome screenshot utility to take a shot directly. After pressing the hotkey, the utility will take a screenshot and then open a GUI that asks you where to save the picture (and what format). [09:26] sburjan: If you need help setting up a hotkey don't hesitate to ask. [09:26] Jordan_U: on the .32 stock kernel or the 2.6.34 one ?

[09:34] Rurd2di[ON3]: To make VNC active, go to Applications-Internet-Remote Desktop Viewer, and click connect. enter the IP Address of host. Then, click connect, [09:34] tryin to connect from windows 7 to ubuntu mate [09:35] Rurd2di[ON3]: That is possible, only because of IP address error, or slow connection.

Then, you need to get the VNC service in Windows too. Also, I think you should keep the Ubuntu VNC running before attempting connection from win7, [09:36] rocket16 help me [09:36] gaurav: I see. No problem, use a Light-weight browser, like ELINKS. Also, connection will work I think.

[09:44] is there a community for mobile [09:44] mooshe: Well, Lubuntu is a decent Lightweight OS [09:44] like hash hardware where i get all the hardware details [09:44] c_nick: As long as it is related to Ubuntu, you can ask here, v:) [09:44] which gui does it run [09:45] mooshe: It runs LXDE as Desktop Manager, and is faster [09:45] bahah installed xd11server [09:45] works sweet now [09:45] :D:D [09:45] wats that? [09:45] mooshe: I have a netbook. UNR is pretty cool. I wouldn't go with MeeGo since it's a bit stunted as an OS (no easy way to install codecs, limited software repository). [09:45] mooshe: It nearly takes half of the Memory used by GNOME Ubuntu. [09:46] mooshe: If you want to do a lot of compiling then you could bring MeeGo up to speed but It'll require work. [09:46] I have a 5 year old laptop 2.0 ghz 1 gb ram ubuntu runs great [09:46] That said, the boot speed is around 8 seconds. [09:46] i dont feel like doing a lot of work [09:46] mooshe: id say just get ubuntu if you have windows create another partition and get a wubi install [09:46] i guess i will put unr on my flash now [09:46] also the doc said something try with flash drive then use cd [09:47] but there is an option to install from flash right? [09:47] you can install a full ubuntu right from a windows exe [09:47] since i have no cd drive [09:47] Hi [09:47] mooshe: install it from wubi [09:47] :) [09:47] that way if something happens to get messed up its super easy to re-install [09:47] mooshe: You can use wubi, but that's not a really clean instalation... [09:47] i have not used wubi before [09:48] mooshe: one click no settings no menus [09:48] can i not just install from usb drive?

[09:56] hmm i put meego on my 2gb usb drive now windows 7 will not format the usb [09:56] whyy [09:56] bricky:cheers [09:56] i was considering crunchbang [09:57] but i really want a tiny cute interface [09:57] since it has such a tiny mouse [09:57] and i wont be plugging one in [09:57] But, keep in mind that Elive costs money but if you wanted to try another enlightenment desktop PCLinuxOS has an E17 v.

[10:04] since i still need to backup the hdd [10:04] mooshe: no problem, you just have to boot on you usbstick and chose "try ubuntu", that won't touch your hdd [10:05] what does persisnt live install mean [10:05] unless you got a linux-swap partition. :p [10:05] is that similar to live cd when you click install [10:06] is there a way to perhaps write data files and a bootable image on one disk?

[12:20] !best | Northwoods [12:20] Northwoods: 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. [12:20] can i have both installed and switch between them somehow? [12:20] neure: install xubuntu-desktop, there should be an option at the login screen then [12:21] Northwoods: did you read ubottu's message? [12:21] is there any command to remove all recently installed packages? [12:21] Avasz: no [12:21] jrib, i dont want xubuntu-desktop [12:21] yes [12:21] neure: why not? [12:21] ok [12:21] Northwoods: why the "?" [12:21] jrib , which is best flash player ? [12:21] jrib, im running on beagleboard and ubuntu-netbook is sluggish so i want something pretty minimal [12:21] !best > Northwoods [12:21] Northwoods, please see my private message [12:21] thankyou [12:21] neure: ok, so why wouldn't you want xubuntu-desktop? [12:21] i installed kubuntu desktop yesterday.. and it has installed other packages too.. now i want to remove the kubuntu as well as the packages it installed... any way to do that? [12:21] neure, i dont really think there is something that can replace adobeflashplayer [12:22] i was told xubuntu-desktop is pretty much as bad as ubuntu-netbook [12:22] Northwoods: adobe's if you want it to work with as many things as possible, one of the others if you prefer it be Free [12:22] * neure is not having anything to do with flash [12:22] i mean Northwoods , sorry [12:22] :) [12:22] neure: why not try it and see? [12:22] neure: that's how you use xfce and its related apps [12:22] well i wantedt to try xfce4 first :) [12:23] neure: xfce is just the window manager that gets used with xubuntu-desktop [12:23] well i dont want any 'desktop' [12:23] just window manager :) [12:23] neure: then instal xfce4 then though I doubt your window manager is the issue... [12:24] use openbox neure [12:24] neure: How much ram do you have? [12:24] openbox? hmm [12:24] JUST Windowmanager nothing else [12:24] jrib, 256MB [12:25] neure: I think xubuntu-desktop should be fine on that. If you want really minimal use one of the *boxes. openbox and fluxbox are popular [12:25] xface is not really as lightweigt as it supposed to be [12:25] neure: but after that, you need to use light apps as well... [12:26] LXDE is much lighter faster and nicer [12:26] LXDE=Openbox+LXPannle and some other LXConfig Apps [12:27] is there metapackeg for that? [12:27] neure, i'd also stay away from apps the are coded in python if you're strapped for system resources [12:27] neure, large apps that is.. small scripts should be fine. [12:28] well i need this to develop my own apps [12:28] neure, be prepared for many coffee breaks [12:28] basically i need just X11, shell window and some nice code editor, possibly scite [12:29] neure, if you need some tipps for lightweight Apps just look here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lightweight_Applications [12:29] thanks [12:29] im using openbox and geany as codeeditor [12:29] geany?

[12:31] Hey guys, I just installed fluxbox but I'm not sure how I change my window manager for a certain user, can anyone help? [12:31] i want to get back to text console [12:31] neure: Do CTRL+X [12:31] neure: does it use gdm? [12:31] neure, ctr+alt+F1 ;) [12:31] or CTRL+F1 [12:31] and kill Xorg or X [12:31] oh [12:31] fluxbox: select it at the login window [12:31] CTRL+ALT+F1 [12:31] is killing xorg really the best way? [12:32] jrib: I was gonna do that, but there's no option. [12:32] fluxbox: are you using gdm [12:32] jrib: How do i get it [12:32] ? [12:32] fluxbox: what ubuntu did you install? [12:32] jrib: 10.4 [12:33] fluxbox: ubuntu 10.04? Not like kubuntu, etc? [12:33] is there an alpha for 10.10 yet?

[12:34] neure, you probably may want to take a look at www.archlinux.org [12:34] fluxbox: since what? [12:34] jrib: I havent done anything durastic since then either. [12:34] jrib: Since i saw it the first time. [12:34] fluxbox: check that you are still using gdm [12:34] jrib: I may be using compiz [12:34] jrib: How do i check? [12:35] fluxbox: ps -ef | grep gdm would be one way [12:35] jrib: Where do i put that? [12:35] fluxbox: in a terminal [12:35] Astyx, does it run on beagleboard? [12:36] jrib: Ok now what? [12:36] fluxbox: what was the output? [12:36] jrib: Lots of stuff, a few lines like this: root 12028 908 0 12:28 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-simple-slave -- but some of them are different. [12:36] fluxbox: pastebin [12:37] Anyone tested Ubuntu on a new sony i7 Z series laptop?

What /do/ you see at the login screen? [12:39] jrib: The login box in the middle with the users, and a bar at the bottom with a blue (i) and the power off button.

[12:39] jrib: Yeah [12:39] fluxbox: yeah [12:40] jrib: Ok I'll give that a shot thanks.

I don't remember where exactly [12:41] jrib: Cant find it [12:41] apparle: running another apt-get in the background? (update) [12:41] jrib: Wait, got it. [12:41] Bibz: no [12:41] jrib: Ok brb. [12:41] mhm [12:42] anyways I managed it, aptitue fixed it [12:42] well [12:42] now i have ubuntu-netbook, xfce and lxde installed .. how do i choose which one starts?

[12:43] JigSaw-2: su - USER [12:43] or you change terminal with CTRL+ALT+F1 [12:43] and to switch to session [12:43] ? [12:43] JigSaw-2: click on the button in the panel [12:44] ctrl-alt-f1,f2,... [12:44] jrib, no I want from command line [12:44] JigSaw-2, man su [12:44] Then open up new Terminal or Logout with "disconnect" or CTRL+D [12:44] JigSaw-2: you want to switch to a new user in X? [12:45] jrib, yes [12:45] JigSaw-2: k, don't know [12:45] like fast-user-switch-applet [12:45] Please help me wiht wubi on Vista Home [12:45] !ask | utente [12:45] utente: 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).

[12:46] neure: at the login screen [12:47] the answer to your questions is written in the stars. [12:47] :) [12:47] yes: the system restart when I reboot vista [12:47] !?

(per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:47] It say: error on installation... reboot [12:47] you mean it reboots when you boot up vista? [12:47] when you try to start vista, it reboots? [12:47] yes [12:47] do you get to the GRUB Part? [12:48] vista and ubuntu [12:48] I select ubuntu [12:48] can you see the black screen wich allows you to choose the operating system [12:48] ah ok [12:48] no [12:48] and vista boots? [12:48] so none knows the fast-user-switching-applet [12:48] or perhaps how to use gdmflexiserver nono-interactively [12:48] s/nano/nan [12:48] JigSaw woot? [12:48] ubuntu proceed just fine wiht installation juto to splash screern [12:49] bau it stop with the error on installation [12:49] or perhaps how to use gdmflexiserver non-interactively [12:49] and need restart the system [12:49] Bibz, ^ === thunderstruck is now known as gnomefreak [12:49] JigSaw-2: erm, what do you want to accomplish exactly? What's your issue with gdmflexiserver? [12:50] jrib, I want to do the same thing which fast-user-switching-applet do. But I WANT TO RUN THAT FROM A SCRIPT SO I NEED EXACT COMMAND FOR THE SAME [12:51] JigSaw-2: I don't need the caps [12:51] :-) [12:51] :P [12:51] JigSaw-2: does fast-user-switch-applet use gdmflexiserver? [12:51] jrib, not sure [12:52] JigSaw-2: it doesn't afaik. Thus my question about how you want to use it [12:52] have you a solution? [12:52] nope sorry. [12:52] afk lunch [12:52] JigSaw-2: let's try this way: does « gdmflexiserver -ls » do what you want? [12:53] jrib, afaik, fusa need the tty number, display ID and the user name to switch. [12:53] which I can have to pass the fusa [12:53] Morning. I'm having bad problems with Open Office 3.1.1 Calc in Ubuntu Karmic - it keeps crashing every 30 mins or so. [12:54] Sometimes more frequently. === root is now known as Guest27937 [12:54] gnome-power-manager doesnt show the hibernate option in lucid; only the suspend option is there. any ideas why? [12:54] jrib, no it does not. It gives me fresh login [12:54] Is there any way to disable mouse animations, such that no events (loading, etc) change the cursor? [12:54] JigSaw-2: what do you want it to do? [12:55] * jrib does not use fast-user-switch-applet [12:55] preferably not making copies of one cursor image having respective filenames, since it would likely cause flicker [12:55] jrib, I want to switch the user with X from command line. [12:55] JigSaw-2: you want to actually login? [12:56] jrib, yes [12:56] JigSaw-2: but it would still prompt you for a password right? [12:56] anyone else having problems changing lcd brightness in lucid? [12:56] JigSaw-2, interactively or with script? [12:56] neure, with script only [12:57] scottuss: brightness on my laptop works ok using fn key [12:57] you want to run some commands with a different user? [12:57] xorwhy, for some reason it doesn't work on my laptop. there is a bug report but no real solutions [12:57] JigSaw-2: I'd probably go dig into what fast-user-switch-applet does exactly [12:58] Does Open Office 3.1.1 need more than 1gb memory to run in Karmic? [12:58] funkyweasel, at least [12:58] funkyweasel, I'd say more like 2 [12:58] jrib, I want to do the same thing, but do not know how to do that [12:58] funkyweasel, thats just so the splash screen loads... you need 4gb to type words [12:59] neure, yes [12:59] JigSaw-2: do you know what package provides it? [12:59] Downer. [12:59] scottuss: just a random hacky thought here but, if there is an alternative application for adjusting brightness that works you may be able to map the key combo to it [12:59] funkyweasel, try abiword if you want something lighter [12:59] funkyweasel, joking, 1gb should be fine [12:59] jrib, fast-user-switch-applet [12:59] Odd - it was stable on hardy [12:59] JigSaw-2, su will do [12:59] xorwhy, thanks, that was a last resort thought but looks like I may need to do that [12:59] JigSaw-2, but you need to figure out what to do with passwords [12:59] But it's unusably flakey [12:59] funkyweasel, but you want 4gb so your not waiting to alt tab [12:59] JigSaw-2: what version of ubuntu is this? (that package doesn't exist in lucid) [12:59] funkyweasel, thats because its made in java [12:59] Hello World ! [13:00] ohh jrib I am on jaunty 9.04 [13:00] Oh damn, is it because I am using the wrong java? [13:00] jrib, currently when i boot i get ubuntu-netbook x11 login and it does not offer alternative desktops [13:00] funkyweasel, no. every java is flakey [13:00] scottuss: maybe check to see if changing power profiles causes proper functionality of brightness changes in power options. if it does function, it's probably the keymap, and not the kernel module that needs a fix [13:00] so the question is, how do i switch from ubuntu-netbook to lxde ? [13:00] Saddening. Yet OO is stable in every other environment I've tried it in [13:00] JigSaw-2: ok. Well: « dpkg -L fast-user-swich-applet » and « apt-get source fast-user-switch-applet », go explore [13:01] Is it known to be bad in Karmic? [13:01] jrib, did that . But no information worth of work [13:01] funkyweasel, its just my opinion, i run openoffice on a atom 280 with 3gbs of ddr3 ram. i can run fine with at least 10 documents open [13:01] xorwhy: Thanks, I'll have a look :) [13:01] JigSaw-2: well that's what you have to do if no one knows :) [13:01] airtonix: What version, and on which distro please? === quiesense is now known as quiescens [13:02] jrib, I mean I did that both command, but nothing is helpful there [13:02] funkyweasel, i used it on karmic and lucid. think im using open-office from the ppa [13:02] scottuss: np, i'm in the same boat as you, but with volume. unfortunately for me, the default mixer for ubuntu does not function at all, so i need to map the hotkeys to some other mixer [13:02] JigSaw-2: that's impossible. The second command gave you the source for it... [13:02] funkyweasel, openoffice 3.2.0 build 9843 [13:03] airtonix: That's a good idea. I've tried totally removing OO and ~/.open-office, reinstalling from repo. PPA sounds like the next step. [13:03] Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk [13:03] jrib, ok..downloading the source from svn now. [13:03] do I need 4gb of free space in order tohave the hibernate option appear in gpm if I have 4gb of ram? [13:03] JigSaw-2: you already downloaded the source with the command I gave you [13:03] reign2, you will if all your ram is filled with data. [13:03] jrib, i delete that [13:04] hey I just installed the new Ubuntu version, and now my boot loader is fracked, I'm getting Error 15 [13:04] GRUB Loading, Please Wait: [13:04] Please ! I have problem ! ~ I want to install *.gz & *.gz2 Files ! But i don't know the command for install ! [13:04] Error 15 [13:04] reign2, and then if some of your swap is also filled up too, then you'll want to have space for that plus 4gbs [13:04] xSodia: totally depends on what is in the files. those are just 'archives' they could be anything [13:04] airtonix: even though me ram is not filled; the hibernate option does not appear with 3.1gb free [13:05] No there is not archive ! [13:05] reign2, i think that your bios might need tweaking to provide the indicator that it can do this . [13:05] does gpm check for a min space req before idsplaying the option? [13:05] my entire PC is whosed because of this damn ubuntu install, I can't access Win 7 WinXP or my Ubuntu install [13:05] reign2: you don't need 4gb free space, you need a swap-partition of a size >= your RAM [13:06] reign2, no i believe that it looks for a flag it discovers when probing your bios at boot up [13:06] hey everyone, while booting my ubuntu, I am dropped into initramfs because of an error in /etc/fstab because of which the / filesystem can't be mounted. Is there an editor in initramfs I can use to edit /etc/fstab. vi, pico, nano, etc are not available. [13:06] xSodia: a .gz is an archive. [13:06] jrib, ok..done. Where to start in source code ? [13:06] Taev: what happens when you boot [13:06] Grub Loading [13:06] Error 15 [13:06] JigSaw-2: no idea [13:06] xSodia: or a compressed file. So what IS it eactly you are trying to install? [13:06] i may have fixed it [13:06] it assigned grub to the wrong HD [13:06] er the MBR [13:07] to the wrong disk [13:07] airtonix, llutz: I run the latest efi bios (on a mbp) which is reportedly capable of hibernating out of the box on lucid lynx; I dont have a separate swap partition [13:07] Taev: it asks you where you want to put the bootloader [13:07] reign2, there is your first problem. you need a swap partition [13:07] reign2: hibernation using pm-utils needs a swap-partition [13:07] hey [13:07] Hi, in case anybody wants i855 bug stats for Ubuntu 10.4 (Bug 541511 / 568779) ... i915.modeset=1 or DRI off did not help for me, but updating X as explained in Lucidi8xxFreezes did. Also, UXA rendering helped and (of course) VESA worked but had bad performance. I always get extreme flicker on VGA but not on the built-in screen, by the way. Did not test kernel update. I recommend making UXA the default for i855 :-) [13:08] I assumed it would put the boot loader on the same place as the ubuntu 8 installation i was upgrading [13:08] aitonix, llutz; I see. can I create one now? [13:08] but it put it on another HD [13:08] reign2: sure [13:08] anybody know what this means? rror: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk [13:08] bricky: Add the partner repo. [13:08] bricky: Java has been moved to Partner, so you probably need to enable that repository [13:08] !partner > bricky [13:08] bricky, please see my private message [13:08] ah [13:08] llutz: okay then I will simply tack on a partition onto the end of my drive; but Im afraid it could mess up my triple boot arrangement [13:09] Dr_willis : That is archive but i have download from official website IT's application "bittorrent" [13:09] thanks.. [13:10] theadmin: wanna give me some background? [13:10] I wonder... does anybody know how to avoid the extreme flicker on the VGA out for i855 in 10.4? [13:10] bricky: Welp, thing you're installing needs Java, which has been moved to partner repo [13:11] llutz, would swap file work for hibernation instead of a partition ? [13:11] my install is almost perfected, beyond any other previous attempt. so citing [13:11] bricky: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" && sudo apt-get update [13:11] partner repo.. ok [13:11] the beta nvidia driver 25x.xx made it possible, though i suspect the only thing that fixed the problem was the new nvidia-xconfig [13:12] well, so far for that news on i855 :) bye!

No problem will be there. [13:55] eeeris: Install Ubuntu, when you get to partitioning, choose "Specify partitions manually", choose the partition on which you install Ubuntu to, format as ext4, set "/" as mount point [13:55] eeeris: For all others, set some folders under /media as mount points [13:55] kermit: try "xset -dpms" [13:55] kermit: check the screensaver and power settings - settings.

It could also be its not a full icon theme set. [13:58] thanx guys!! [13:58] will try it now...

[14:07] xomp: heh, you gave up? [14:07] xomp: well, i guess something like if ! pidof name-of-executable >/dev/null; then name-of-executable; fi [14:07] xomp: something like "pgrep fastcgi || fastcgi" [14:08] xomp: there's some sort of daemon dedicated to this task, I don't remember the name though [14:08] jrib, I got a bug report filled :) [14:08] xomp: monit comes up on google, but there was something lighter [14:09] jrib, but they say it could take months, years or never get fixed heh so I need to hack things together to get it working I guess [14:10] xomp: the easy way is to just start your program in some infinite loop, but if it crashes a lot, that may be a pain (maybe sleep a bit). Something like while true; do COMMAND; done [14:11] jrib, ok thanks :) I'll look into it. [14:11] xomp: looks really interesting http://code.alexreisner.com/articles/upstart.html [14:11] holy smokes thanks jrib hah [14:11] hi guys. im having a problem with sound on a macbook. Can anyone help? ~~ Sound Problems.... :) [14:12] Is there a way to blacklist a PCI bus, (in my case 02:00.0) before x is started? [14:14] sammacbook: You should be asking in a MAc channel, since this is an Ubuntu channel. [14:14] i rocket 16 ~~ im using ubuntu 10.04. i doubt very much they can help. [14:14] sammacbook: I see, sorry. I thought it differently. [14:15] what is virtualbox and what is vnc ? [14:15] sammacbook: Well, what is problem? [14:15] Gwibber won't launch. The error message is ambiguous. [14:15] haha thats why im here. my sounds are not working in ubuntu. when i boot it gives me a load of sounds but when i play mp3s when im logged in or if i play youtube vids it has no sound at all... [14:15] !vnc | jungli [14:15] jungli: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [14:15] jungli: VNC is a remote control system, Virtualbox is a virtualizer. [14:15] jungli: For remote control, however, I recommend TeamViewer (simplier in general :/) [14:16] it worked before. the speakers. i plugged in the headphones and it didnt work. when i unplugged it it all stopped working [14:16] xomp: restartd, launchtool, and daemontools (I think this is the one I remembered) are the alternatives to monit. Upstart seems like a nice solution too. the while loop is the simplest... [14:16] is this a good channel to discuss multimonitor/multi graphics card issues? [14:16] i moved the settings around to see if it will work but nothing. i still get no sound. [14:16] thanks theadmin [14:17] jrib, yeah I'm looking over this upstart right now, although I would have no idea how to use it or what I'm even looking at haha [14:17] Actually, scratch that: when I try to launch Gwibber, it keeps trying and failing to launch CouchDB. But it doesn't tell me what's failing. [14:17] xomp: yeah, you would have to create an upstart job for spawn-fastcgi I suppose [14:18] hey, i am using ubuntu just with gnoma, what is the software to set the monitor resolution ? [14:18] jrib, do you think you understand how to get upstart going? heh I could really use a hand holding for this if you know how :P [14:19] jungli: VNC is a remote desktop viewer system, which allows you to operate and view PCS remotely over networks. Windows, Mac and Linux, all types of platforms can be controlled. Also, VirtualBox is a Programme, which allows you to install a seperate OS within one. [14:19] tau: If that means gnome, go to System-Preferences-Monitors, [14:19] xomp: how often is it crashing? [14:19] rocket161: cool man [14:19] hi, I was looking forward to put an already configured webserver + php + database on a ubuntu livecd or ubuntu memory stick, so that they can be run without installing in a machine. Is that possible? when googling for livecd customization, I mainly found information on choosing packets to be pre-installed, but not on pre-configuration of files, etc [14:19] vnc is super cool [14:19] jrib, at least 5 times a day but it's random really. [14:19] xomp: use the while loop [14:19] rocket161: all right, thank you. [14:20] tau: No problem, :) [14:20] how can i install vnc in ubuntu ? [14:20] xomp: maybe sleep for like a second before starting a new process [14:20] Anyone here know how to fix the macbook sound issue in ubuntu 10.04? [14:20] rocket161: ohh, that's nice. [14:20] jrib, I have no idea what a while loop even is heh [14:20] jrib, I already sleep for 1 second as it is :P [14:20] jungli: VNC is installed already, go to Applications-Internet-Remote desktop viewer, and click connect. Then enter IP of the host, and click connect. [14:20] elo [14:21] xomp: try this: while true; do gedit; done [14:21] so it is better. === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [14:21] jrib, do I put that in the console? [14:21] xomp: yeah. The advantage to using upstart or some other tool is that you can make sure the thing isn't restarting like 100 times in a minute [14:22] anyone can help me with sis graphic card drivers? [14:22] hi, I was looking forward to put an already configured webserver + php + database on a ubuntu livecd or ubuntu memory stick, so that they can be run without installing in a machine. Is that possible? when googling for livecd customization, I mainly found information on choosing packets to be pre-installed, but not on pre-configuration of files, etc === david_brent is now known as halfmanhalfmonke [14:23] orangeMechanique: that doesn't sound like a good idea as unless you are happy to accept the peformance hit of running from a CD [14:23] yeap i am [14:23] rocket16: cool i get it thank you very much [14:23] xomp: if you want some sort of monitoring going on, then use one of the 4 tools I mentioned probably [14:23] it is just for a small demo === halfmanhalfmonke is now known as yorick [14:23] * jungli hugs rocket16 [14:23] jungli: You are most welcome, :) === yorick is now known as doofus [14:23] orangeMechanique: sounds ok then, I'd use a USB stick if you can [14:23] jrib, what does while true; do gedit; done do exactly? Or how could I use this to do the fastcgi thing? I'm using this:- /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.pi to spawn fastcgi when it crashes heh [14:23] * rocket16 hugs jungli back most dearly,\ :) [14:24] xomp: if you try it, you will understand [14:24] hehehhe :) [14:24] orangeMechanique: use the guide you've found to make sure the packages you want are installed and then preconfigure the config files, such as apache to listen on localhost (or what ever you want) [14:24] hey, i would like to know another thing, is it necessary to install kde to have a quit system ? so, to play games etc ? could I play games which were maked for kde without installing kde ? [14:24] :) [14:25] rocket16: thank you too, i got that. [14:25] tau: don't know what a "quit system" is. Yes, to your third question [14:25] jrib, looks like it spams the console with -bash: gedit: command not found [14:25] heh [14:25] tau: Sure, you can. But the KDE Libraries are to be downloaded and installed for that. And, the games using KDE libraries won't run so fast in gnome. [14:25] henriquelm: a quit system it would be as a complete system i guess. [14:25] xomp: I'm guessing you aren't using ubuntu now then [14:25] jrib, I am, it's a minimal install (ubuntu VPS) [14:25] rocket16: hmm, do you have kde too ? [14:25] ikonia, would you recommend a special edition of ubuntu for runnin on the stick? [14:25] xomp: anyway, it just starts the program, and if it dies for whatever reason, starts it again. (I mean with a gui, etc) [14:26] tau, What? [14:26] orangeMechanique: nope, just ubuntu [14:26] How to be root on ubuntu ? [14:26] tau: Yes, I have KDE on Gentoo, installed on my desktop. [14:26] rocket16: so, i think i prefer gnome against kde. [14:26] !root | Pip [14:26] Pip: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:26] !sudo | Pip [14:26] Pip: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [14:26] LOL [14:26] rocket16: could I install kde just to use those libraries without having to login in kde ? [14:26] tau: yes [14:26] jrib, cool so I could do something like while true; do /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; done [14:26] LjL: sure. [14:26] thank you all. [14:26] Pip: Use the sudo command to gain root permissions. Or, use gksudo nautilus to start root filebrowser. [14:27] xomp: yeah, just make sure you understand the possible issues with it [14:27] ikonia, thanks, i think ill give a try =) [14:27] tau: Yes, you can. Just install those apps, which you wish to. And then, the dependencies will be installed automatically. [14:27] jrib, what are the possible issues with it? :3 [14:28] rocket16: if i were using gnome with the libraries for kde installed but logged in gnome, would it run so fast like i had logged in kde ? [14:28] xomp: that it gets restarted continuously if it keeps crashing, and that if you put that into a crontab, it won't check whether it's already running so it'll keep restarting (in other words, that's not to be put in a crontab) [14:28] rocket16: for the games. [14:28] pip: Or else, you can set root password yourself, using sudo passwd root command in terminal. Also, then you can log in graphically too, from GDM. [14:28] Hey guys, how do i add a custom fluxbox theme??????????????/ [14:28] xomp: just that if your app starts crashing all the time, you'll get it restarted over and over (you may want it to give up if it crashes like 10 times in 10 seconds or something) [14:28] rocket16: or i need necessarily to be logged in kde to play fastly the games developed for kde ? [14:28] How can I change my primary nic card from eth1 to eth0? I don't have a /etc/iftab here. [14:29] oh ok [14:29] tau: No, KDE games in GNOME will not run that fast, :( So, you'll need to login to KDE [14:29] is it normal for the ubuntu software center to have so many missing category thumbnails? [14:29] rocket16: uh? [14:29] Guest27937 #fluxbox - the official fluxbox irc-channel [14:29] rocket16: sure, thank you. [14:29] tau: But the integration between KDE and Gnome is increasing. So, most such games and programmes are nicely playable. [14:29] rocket16: tau: shouldn't make a great deal of difference, either way. [14:29] tau: I mean, nicely playable in gnome. [14:29] rocket16: why would KDE programs run slower in GNOME? i can imagine that at worst they'd take longer to startup, if the KDE libraries aren't already loaded, but that's it [14:29] tau: My pleasure, === krish is now known as Guest8800 [14:30] i think why the developers of kde and gnome don't develop a unifield interface to have all facilates like gnome and kde have but less complex in terms of dependences [14:30] why does Ubuntu documentation say that installing libapache2-mod-passenger will uninstall php5 and libapache2-mod-php5? [14:30] LjL They aren't properly integrated with the Gnome desktop environment too, so dragging or moving such windows will take longer time too. [14:30] If there is no locale.gen file on ubuntu, can I create one ? [14:30] Guest27937: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=How_to_change_window_buttons [14:30] rocket16: sure. [14:30] rocket16: i haven't experienced that [14:31] could someone point me at what in karmic is responsible for the really fast suspend/resume? i'm having trouble figuring out what exactly does it. [14:31] tau: :) [14:31] rocket16: :) [14:31] natefoo: The ext4 partition used in 9.10 is one of the main reasons, [14:31] I have two graphics cards in my laptop, both of which send an interrupt when starting X. if the right one interrupts first, everything works fine. If the wrong one interrupts first, reboot and try again. [14:31] rocket16: please don't recommend that [14:32] Any suggestions would be like, super awesome [14:32] Is it safe to use Empathy IM client for yahoo , google , msn etc accounts ? [14:32] hello , we are building a site and #joomla isn't so active , please help with this simple thing , why is the arabic text broken on our site ? http://www.3dkernel.com/3dkj/ , top menu at the right ... , it's kind of urgent [14:32] rocket16: (logging in graphically as root) [14:32] jrib: Recommend what?? [14:32] rocket16: okay. that i can do. i assume it's not using s2[ram|disk|both] though? [14:32] ffmpeg isn't installed properly from the ubuntu 9.10 repo because when i execute the command | ffmpeg -i test.flv -vn -acodec libmp3lame test.mp3 | it returns "Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame'" even though i can see that it's installed from synamptic. i'm told i need to recompile, where can i find a guide on this? [14:32] Ive never noticed any real speed issues with mixing kde and gnome apps on kde/gnome - You do get some more system ram ussed. but its not really noticeable speed differance [14:32] allguru1, try #joomla ? [14:32] ok just noticed another problem. Does the OS control how a laptop is charged? i just installed UBUNTU 10.04 on my macbook and before it was charging ok, now in ubuntu it wont charge at all and if the plug falls out it turns off. Any ideas anyone? [14:32] jrib: don't you like ext4 ? [14:33] Northwoods: there's no one there :( [14:33] tau: I wasn't talking about ext4 [14:33] are hte category thumbnails missing in the software center in lucid for anyone else? [14:33] Whats that program called that i ned to terminate for fluxbox to work properlty????????? [14:33] jrib: sorry [14:33] laeg: theres different ffmpeg ppa's I recall following some guide to just compile the latest. [14:33] tau: my fault, I was scrolled up, so wasn't specific [14:33] allguru1, ##php [14:33] jrib: Well, that is a literal answer. Also, most malwares won't even run in root. For example, Puppy Linux uses root, still no malwares won't run. Aditionally, I answered to the point. [14:33] Guest27937: clarify the question. [14:33] jrib: sure. [14:33] rocket16, Is it safe to use Empathy IM client for yahoo , google , msn etc accounts ? [14:33] Dr_Willis: can you do a little more than recall? :) [14:33] rocket16: any other pointers? [14:33] Dr_Willis: It began with a N and i needed to do pkill something [14:33] how do I move a file without changing its modification date and permissions. [14:33] laeg: it was at webupd8 or omgubuntu [14:34] mv -p ? [14:34] allguru1, i can see lot of people in #joomla [14:34] Northwoods: Surely it is, :) Empathy is a nice client for all those. Another one is Pidgin. [14:34] Dr_Willis: and is this addinga ubuntu repo or an ffmpeg one? [14:34] Anyone know how to deal with macbook charging issues in ubuntu 10.04? [14:34] rocket16, which one do you use ? [14:34] Guest27937: you mean nautilus ? You may want to looking using some other file maanger if its causing you issues [14:34] Northwoods: what is the difference between ##php and #php ? === Skywalker is now known as Guest35426 [14:34] #php has been shifted to ##php , both are same [14:34] allguru1: See http://freenode.net/policy.shtml#channelnaming for further explanation [14:34] Northwoods: I use Pidgin, since it has more extensible plugin library, and more IRC support (like adding irc contacts) [14:34] jatt: if you do man mv -p you will encounter all options for that command. [14:34] laeg: I used some script from webupd8.com (i think) that got the latest source, compiled, and installed it into /opt with 1 command. :) [14:34] hello === derek_ is now known as LHoT10820 [14:35] Dr_Willis: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/04/script-to-automatically-download-and.html [14:35] rocket16: just give the root and sudo factoids please. Logging in graphically as root is a security risk, especially for users who are asking that type of question [14:35] ? [14:35] Hello feder welcome to Ubuntu [14:35] how to change the color of vim line number [14:35] Dr_Willis: do i need to remove ffmpeg that i have already [14:35] Dr_Willis: Where can i get another file manager and how can i add it to the fluxbox menu? [14:35] rocket16, i was sort of afraid giving away my google account to Empathy [14:35] jrib: I understand. I was just going to specify the risks too. [14:35] laeg: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/08/upgrade-to-latest-ffmpeg-and-x264-in.html [14:35] Pici: thank you for that pointer; i had always wondered about the doubled hash marks. [14:35] Northwoods: I don't think any problem will occur. I use my account on Pidgin, and nothing bad happened. [14:35] it says you need to be identified with +r service :( [14:36] i will google it [14:36] Guest27937: theres dozens of file managers out there. Or you could use one like 'mc' that runs in a terminal window. [14:36] !register > allguru1 [14:36] allguru1, please see my private message [14:36] Dr_Willis: How do i use 'mc'? [14:36] krachny: what could it happen to someone who is logging as root graphically ? [14:36] rocket16, does my account information go to ubuntu developers through empathy ? [14:36] Dr_Willis: ty, do i need to remove the ffmpeg i have already [14:36] Dr_Willis: or you can dd from one block to another block [14:36] Guest27937: install it.. open terminal.. run 'mc' [14:36] ops, jrib [14:36] laeg: proberly a good idea [14:36] Dr_Willis: u could always use Thuna [14:36] g0mib0y: I hate thunar :) [14:36] jrib: it was directed you but my tab didn't want it to happen :P [14:36] Dr_Willis: ok [14:36] Northwoods: No no, it will be stored locally. And the password will be encrypted too, so no security risk is there. [14:36] !info rox-filer | Guest27937 [14:36] Guest27937: rox-filer (source: rox): A simple graphical file manager for X11. In component universe, is optional.

[14:37] ~~ can someone tell me what controls the charge on a laptop is it the OS or the computer itself??? [14:37] tau: why do you ask me? [14:37] Guest27937: theres other more graphical 2 pane type file managers out also. [14:37] Dr_Willis: your guide is for jaunty and intrepid, i'm 9.10 karmic koala [14:37] does it matter? [14:37] Dr_Willis: got it [14:37] Dr_Willis: oki fine. then use mc. [14:37] Guest27937: be a bit more verbose in what you are refering to. [14:37] laeg: no idea. [14:37] krachny: it is because i used tab, it wasn't what i wanted to do. [14:37] Guest27937: Use Tux-Commander, [14:37] Dr_Willis: k ty [14:38] Dr_Willis: or just use Gnome [14:38] Dr_Willis: Well in my terminal it looks like a big blue box with white writing in, is there any way i can change the colour? [14:38] sammacbook: usually charging is a hardware-thing === root is now known as Guest31581 [14:38] Dr_Willis: Nvm got it [14:38] llutz and same on a macbook? [14:38] Guest27937: probelly. i alwyas use a terminal with a black background so it looks fine to me [14:38] sammacbook: You can click the power applet, and specify the preferences there. [14:38] sammacbook: idk, i never will have apple-stuff [14:38] is the problem to use a system as root in all time just to make mistakes so to broke the system or there is a way to be owned by some hacker ? :P [14:38] Dr_Willis: But i can set the background colour to black, is there any way i can make it transparent? That would be awesome. [14:39] tau: both. [14:39] break* [14:39] tau: the biggest danger is not from some 'hacker' but from the user doing somthing that breaks the system i find. [14:39] tau: ah okay, but I can't answer you, don't know, i think you get problems with some sessions files [14:39] sipior: sure. [14:39] does the software center contain every package available through apt-get? [14:39] Actually guys its not even showing as charging. it just says its using the cable. === klunka is now known as Guest4541 [14:39] i can see ##php now , thanks !!! [14:39] Guest27937: no idea. Depends on your terminal program and if fluxbox can handle it. i find transparent terminal windows.. rather pointless. [14:39] sure, Dr_Willis , sipior , krachny , thank you. [14:39] tau: If it is connected to Internet, then there might be acute hacking problem (acute, because ufw is running all the time, and Ubuntu is virus-proof). But breaking the system might be there, although using sudo command does the same thing too. [14:40] Dr_Willis: Im using terminator terminal [14:40] Guest27937: thats the same as gnome-terminal basically. [14:40] oh , yes important question , rocket16 what antivirus should i use for ubuntu ? [14:40] Guest27937: check its menus and preferances/profiles I guess. [14:40] and malware/spyware ? [14:40] what privileges does sudo lift you to? Is it admin or less than admin? [14:41] Northwoods: most tools scan file for windows viruses/malware :) not linux ones. [14:41] hi, is there any sense about upgrading xubuntu karmic to lucid? [14:41] salil: root (uid 0) [14:41] rocket16: it would probably be more accurate to say that ubuntu (and unices in general) are virus-resistant, not immune. that invites a dangerous complacency. [14:41] Dr_Willis: I have, thats where i can change the colours but i cant make the actual MC transparent... [14:41] tabasko: if you want/ned the new versions/features - yes. [14:41] what should be sue [14:41] ive got an unbootable box, it complains about missing roofs. if i boot from installation disk /dev/disk/by-uuid/ doesnt contain rootfs's uuid, but /dev/sda4 (root) is there and i can mount it if i specify -t ext4. without -t mount complains "you need to specify file system type" or something along that line. home mounts without -t. alredy tried to reboot with other kernels and rewrite partition table with cfdisk + reboot, no avail. [14:41] any ideas? [14:41] what should be used for ubuntu Antivirus ? [14:41] Guest27937: you make the terminal transparent. mc just prints to the terminal window. [14:41] or should i just go buy mac... [14:41] llutz: In that case, why aren't some things still accessible (for example plugging out a cpu in /sys/devices)? [14:41] karmic install is working very well, and Im afraid that upgrading only brokes my gf:s laptop [14:41] !virus | Northwoods [14:41] Northwoods: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [14:41] list [14:41] Dr_Willis: Thats what i mean [14:41] s/sue/used [14:41] Northwoods: Most malwares aren't effective in Linux. As for windows malwares, use ClamAV and ClamTk. Also, some commercial AV have released free versions, like Avast and avira. [14:42] Dr_Willis, but I have heard that xubuntu lucid doesnt really have nothing new compared to karmic [14:42] ok let me put it this way , what should i install for my UBUNTU Security >? [14:42] sipior: Ubuntu is virus immune, because no such cases have been reported yet. Also, Only 800 malwares have been reported for Linux, and none of them can "infect" a System from Net. [14:42] TTilus: just buy a Mac. [14:42] Guest27937: terminator here has a setting for a 'transparent' background. [14:43] reign2: no, only the ones with a GUI [14:43] Help... I'm have sound chipset Realtek ALC888, and I probe install drivers from CDROM (from motherboard producer), and script delete my old sound drivers (from install ubuntu, default drivers work propely). Any ideas to back sound? [14:43] tabasko: then dont bother I guess.. you answered your own question. :) [14:43] sipior: In 1997, Bliss virus was a nice example of how secure Linux is. Only thing that can trouble, is forkbomb, although that can be prevented too. [14:43] Dr_Willis: Yeah i have it transparent, but the actual MC menu wont go transparent. [14:43] rocket16: 800 is a very high number, wikipedia is saying 5 [14:43] 795 other variants of the 5 ? :) [14:43] Linux is imune against viruses? lolz? [14:43] ljl: thanks, is it normal for their to be so man missing thumbnails? [14:43] I have written the other 795 ;) [14:43] rocket16: people will do the malware-infection themselve [14:43] !virus | Bibz [14:43] Bibz: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [14:44] depends on how you define 'virus' :) [14:44] ljl: many* [14:44] even if a OS would be ever imune against viruses... the problem sits in front of the computer [14:44] Hello to everybody,i am working backtrack 4 final through vmware and i have a problem with command "iwconfig".Anybody help me? [14:44] iceroot: Not so, because 5 might be successful ones, and others might not be. [14:44] reign2: i don't know, i don't really use it [14:44] rocket16: yes, i am talking about working ones :) [14:44] Bibz: User's folly and virus aren't same [14:44] !backtrack | Guest35426 [14:44] Guest35426: 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) [14:44] Sir_Konrad: thought about that really, everybody else already have one here [14:44] rocket16: that's simply nonsense. you're immune to MRSA because you haven't caught it yet? like i said, "dangerous complacency". [14:44] rocket I wanted to say that if it would be secure - the OS itself, the Problem would still be in front of the computer. [14:44] iceroot: I don't believe that anyone is active. I haven't heard or seen anybody having his/her linux infected. [14:44] The human. [14:45] The weakest part in a chain is human.

Great computer. === paulo is now known as pablo_24 [14:45] iceroot: No problem [14:46] I love my Mac too, running Ubuntu on it ;) [14:46] How do i take a screenshot using fluxbox? [14:46] gimp? [14:47] Guest27937: you can use gimp [14:47] schlaftier: does it run well? [14:47] Guest27937: puedes usar import de imagmagick o algun otro programa (como gimp) que saque screenshots [14:48] oops [14:48] erUSUL: lol [14:48] marccc^_: How? [14:48] rocket16, so no need to install any antivirus or software for protection ? [14:48] how about this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=111709 [14:48] Guest27937: you can use import from imagemagick o other programs like gimp tat can take screenshots [14:48] Guest27937: Also, gnome-screenshot is nice too. You can install it, and then use it using: gnome-screenshot --interactive [14:48] livingdaylight: indeed [14:48] Sir_Konrad: all the hardware is supported, though screen brightness, iSight, and the Apple remote needed a little tinkering. Also, the whole install process is not trivial. I'm now dualbooting, but mostly on Ubuntu. [14:48] I know that -__- i mean when i prest print screen nothing happens!!!! [14:49] Hello. I have a Geforce 6100 integrated GPU and does not seem to work with the proprietary Nvidia drivers that came in 10.04. [14:49] Northwoods: If you use only Linux, then no need. Else, if you use Windows PCs too, then you might want to scan files for Windows malwares. So, if you download files for windows using ubuntu, or share files with windows users, then it is needed. [14:49] hi [14:49] Hello [14:50] what is the command needed to install Konqui or a similar browser via terminal? [14:50] Is there some known incompatibility with it? [14:50] rocket16, i do mount my windows drives sometimes , what should i install on ubuntu for that ? [14:50] Sir_Konrad: Suspend works, which is great. It's an iMac 5,1 (late 2006) by the way [14:50] anybody here? [14:50] Northwoods: For that, you can install ClamAV and ClamTk, for virus-scanning. [14:51] rocket16, thankyou very much [14:51] schlaftier: white? [14:51] hi [14:51] Hello kaushal [14:51] how I can configure my video card "I using a compaq presario v6000"? [14:51] Northwoods: You are most welcome [14:51] guys, do i need to install fglrx drivers to play games over wine [14:52] Sir_Konrad: yes, white. 2,16 GHz Core Duo, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD [14:52] rocket16: hi [14:52] rocket16: I get the error in dmesg running 10.04 Desktop,[ 3164.724958] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [14:52] Omerta: Sure, go to Synaptic, and search for fglrx there. And install the package suitable for your System. [14:53] Guest27937: perhaps you should go read at ----> http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/en/newdoc.starting.php#top Fluxbox is not commonly used in this channel. There is the #fluxbox channel also.. I imagine they will point you to the docs first. [14:53] how I can configure my video card "I using a compaq presario v6000"? [14:53] thank you rocket16 [14:53] schlaftier: does the Core Duo have heating problems? [14:53] server_: #1 - determine what chipset your video card is. [14:53] i never get a game working under wine though :) [14:54] Omerta: proper 3d drivers are proberly a must for any decent game speeds. [14:54] Sir_Konrad: no problems at all, I believe the firmware controls the temperature [14:54] when I try to install using wubi I get a windows "no disk error" that doesn't go awy until I restart the computer. This started to happen after I tried to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 through upgrade manager. It failed at memstat and crashed. Then I tried to open ubuntu and it wouldn't allow me to open. Then I removed it and re-tried wubi when it started to give me that no disk error. [14:55] i even messed up my fresh ubuntu install trying to play counter-strike [14:55] now i'm installing again :D [14:55] ok [14:55] Omerta: save yourself a lot of trouble and dual-boot for games :-) [14:55] Omerta: you did pretty good at breaking a whole os - by installing one game in wine... [14:56] how I can configure my video card "I using a compaq presario v6000"? [14:56] help... how I can install all defaults sound drivers and alsa? (sorry, but I lost my internet connection) [14:56] hi, id like to install a plugin "Class Browser" for my gedit code editor. I have extracted the tar.gz of the file into the ~/.gnome/gedit folder; what do i do now? [14:56] server_: #1 - determine what chipset your video card is. #2 run that hardware-drivers tool in the system-admin menu and see what it says [14:57] could someone help me with that [14:58] zubin71: I think you have to put it in ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins in order to have gedit find it [14:58] s4z3n: you may want to try a regular type install not using wubi at all. [14:58] I did [14:58] rocket16: Any clue ? [14:58] s4z3n, is the computer an older computer? [14:58] How old? [14:58] nah [14:58] 06 [14:58] Oh [14:58] sipior: i just dont want to install windows just for 2 games and a software [14:58] s4z3n: you made no mention of trying a 'normal' type install.. only wubi. [14:58] Sir_Konrad: are you planning to install Ubuntu on an Intel Mac? [14:58] I had the same problem on an older computer [14:59] Omerta: well, two *working* games is the point, i think :-) [14:59] yeah I tried it but I dont like it chopped up my HDD [14:59] Hi I'll need to help with an bsnl ev-do connection in ubuntu 10.04. Is there someone who has experience with this? [14:59] server_: lspci should give you a clue as to what video card you have and what chipset its using.. or just see what that hardware-drivers tool says about it. [15:00] schlaftier: nah, I run Ubuntu on a VM. I'm happy with OS X (not to mention I need it) as my primary OS. [15:00] s4z3n: given ths issues i see people have in here every day with wubi in one form or another.. Id still reccomend doing a 'normal' install and forgeting that wubi ever existed. [15:01] server_: if you are using ubuntu server. then why does teh video card drivers matter? You installed X on the server? (chat in the channel, not in private please) [15:02] that's right :) [15:02] s4z3n: Dr_Willis is right wubi is way to fragile becouse the whole system is in a big file inside a ntfs partition and it is quite easy for that big file to get corrupted one way or the other. while using windows or while using ubuntu [15:02] yeah you're right. The normal installation is probally a better learning tool anyways instead of having something do the all the work for you. [15:02] schlaftier, thankx :) [15:02] is it possible to create a network connection for my lan connection without a default gateway in network manager? [15:02] !wubi | s4z3n [15:02] s4z3n: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [15:02] i have some problems with my server running ubuntu is this the right channel?

[15:29] coony: you can also click the "Install" button and select the zip-file from there.. the end result is the same [15:29] totalnub: try nv instead of nvidia with the xcinemajig and see if it is still eating up all the ram ?

[15:34] talcite: and the directory tree exists? [15:34] LinuxAdmin: so can it get to the default route ? [15:34] yes [15:34] jrib: sorry i lost my connection [15:34] mnemon: part of it. usr/local/project does. Data doesn't exist yet [15:34] LinuxAdmin: what is the default route ? [15:34] you mean default gateway, wright? [15:34] LinuxAdmin: as in, is it a router [15:34] LinuxAdmin: yes, default gateway [15:34] mnemon: it needs to create a new directory each day [15:34] Gravitron: it shouldn't have.. unless it's a very odd one.. most of the "normal" stuff you can buy works out of the box in my experience [15:34] ok [15:34] .arnet.com.ar [15:35] talcite: well you need to make a script that creates the folders [15:35] default gateway is the same of the host [15:35] talcite: just trying to write into nonexistent folder doesn't work [15:35] I can ping default gw from the host [15:35] LinuxAdmin: but what is the gateway, is it a router/modem/server ? [15:35] a router [15:35] cisco [15:35] LinuxAdmin: can you ping the default gateway from the vm ? [15:35] no [15:36] LinuxAdmin: ok - so there is the problem, you have no route out onto that network [15:36] mnemon: it's not my script. I'm installing a software package onto the server. The bug wasn't present in the previous installation either [15:36] but I can ping the host machine from the VM [15:36] LinuxAdmin: that doesn't mean anything [15:36] talcite: have you verified that you can write files to the existing folder? [15:36] talcite: with perl cgi scripts? [15:36] how can i update firefox ? [15:37] allguru1: ubuntu update manager will offer you an update when once is available [15:37] as long as I understand I don't have to configure routing or nat on the host, because I'm using bridge [15:37] ikonia: where to get ubuntu update manager ? [15:37] LinuxAdmin: doesn't sound like you've created the bridge correctly then [15:37] slart, on this archive tar.gz i have a file called "themedata.xml" i want to change e imagine og menu wthin this file tha i dowload. [15:38] ikonia: found it [15:38] allguru1: it's already installed, when you login or use the tool system -> administration -> update manager it will offer updates available [15:38] mnemon: yup. If I create the data folder beforehand and chown to the proper ownership, then it works [15:38] !image [15:38] the bridge is working fine, I can ping the bridge interface from the outside world [15:38] coony: I have no idea what files are in a theme..can't help you, sorry [15:38] mnemon: it just seems to not be able to create the data folder? [15:38] ikonia: if i updated everything , will i lose sound drivers ? [15:38] talcite: is the parent folder chowned/chmodded to correct permission? [15:38] thanks [15:38] allguru1: shouldn't [15:38] mnemon: yeah. it's 777'd [15:39] LinuxAdmin: then the bridge is not working [15:39] ikonia: if i updated to 9.10 , running 9.04 here ... would i lose the drivers ? [15:39] I've googled a lot about this on the web and it seams a common problem with everybody using ubuntu 9.10 [15:39] allguru1: No, unless update goes wrong (which does happen, but "shouldn't") [15:39] allguru1: depends on if the drivers are from outside the ubuntu packages and if they are compatible with the 9.10 kernel [15:39] LinuxAdmin: not me [15:39] what do you mean? [15:39] QUESTION: is it possible to surf anonymously on 10.04(sorry for the caps..) [15:40] how can you teste is bridge is well configured? [15:40] uros: TOR. [15:40] uros: No. [15:40] LinuxAdmin: by connecting to a session such as the internet to see if it has sucessfully bridged yours and the vm's network [15:40] if I can ping it from the outside world is not enough to assume that it is ok? [15:40] talcite: you mentioned symlinks, the symlink points to the parent folder right? [15:40] I am unable to set, or for that matter download tor [15:40] ikonia: there's a check mark on all options , is there a button to disable all but firefox ? [15:40] does ubuntu have any problems with wireless keyboards/mice? [15:40] uros: just like it's possible to surf anonymously in any operating system.. yes.. by using a proxy you trust [15:41] allguru1: uncheck what you don't want, however why not apply all updates ? [15:41] ikonia: there are more than 100 [15:41] allguru1: so ? [15:41] I can ssh into the host bridge interface, so it has to be working well, otherwise it wouldn't connect at all [15:42] mnemon: yeah. The symlinks are a bit strange. The index file and cgis are symlinked. The data directory is not. The script writes to it through relative paths afaik. the error message complains about ../data/foo not being writable (before I manually create data) [15:42] LinuxAdmin: no, that is not the bridge, that is showing a bridge interface is up === diego is now known as Guest86555 [15:42] So how do I know which proxy is trustwordy? and for that matter, is it just a matter of setting mozilla to use that proxy?

I don't think it is required to be able to list/view/execute any other users files [17:19] voglster: I don't want to install ubuntu , i already have ubuntu :) i want to dual boot it with xp [17:19] voglster, can we fix it?..also my computer turns off all of sudden ..any reason? [17:19] steffan: its not" better" than 0750, depends on your owner/group settings [17:20] llutz: Where are those? [17:20] Anyone know of a (java/python/python-gtk) project in need of a dev? i am a Java dev with to much spare time :) [17:20] !ot | magnen [17:20] magnen: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:20] a5h15h, can we fix what? sorry ive answered alot of questions, as for the system turning off could be alot of things most probably overheating ;-) at least thats what mine does [17:20] steffan: ls -l /home tells you.do yourself a favour, read some basics [17:20] magnen go to #java [17:20] :P [17:21] magnen, or #python i would hazard a guess hehe [17:21] llutz: By default though, using 0700 then adding a ton of users would stop each one from seeing eachothers files? [17:21] voglster, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kv4XeEry [17:21] steffan: yes [17:22] * magnen slaps himself across the face with a trout and hides in a corner === adante_ is now known as adante [17:23] a5h15h, looks like only ashish has write privs to those files but all have read... execpt the Ubuntu One directory [17:24] voglster, can we change the read permissions to not accessible? [17:25] this is fucking retarded [17:25] there's no competent way of doing dual screens with nvidia-xconfig [17:25] a5h15h, yes... the program you want to use is chmod try typing man chmod and reading a bit [17:25] where one screen is the laptop screen and the other is the main screen [17:25] !language |dan2 [17:25] dan2: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [17:26] dan2: The nvidia driver is retarded ;) doesn't even support xrandr1.2 [17:26] Pici: Could you check if you have both linux-headers-generic and linux-headers-generic-pae installed? [17:26] soreau, I have a laptop that has hdmi ports and vga ports... and when I plug something into it, the driver wants to make it so that it's dual head rather than displaying on the attached screen [17:27] Pici: It's the last piece of the puzzel... [17:27] a5h15h, i think you would want to cd /home [17:27] hi all, I just installed a 9.1 as test on my new netbook, needed to compile the wifi usb adapter module (realtek 8188). After load the module wlan0 setups correctly but when I tryed to connect to a WPA protected AP the authentication windows comes backs again and again and never authenticates. What could be the problem? [17:27] dan2: Well that's a typical behavior.. the driver doesn't want to just disable the primary monitor [17:27] and do a chmod o-r -R ./Ashish [17:28] soreau, maybe that's what it's supposed to do, but every way I try to configure it, my screen is offset on the connection coming over HDMI, and the smaller display is cut off [17:28] that should remove read privs from everything in the Ashish dir for everyone not in the Ashish group or actually Ashish [17:28] how do I search for a driver for a usb device? [17:28] a5h15h, look up forgot to add your name [17:28] blue_anna: use vendor/prod-id and google [17:29] dan2: obvious driver issue. maybe nouveau has support for hdmi outputs? [17:29] voglster, what would this do? [17:29] after a normal installation of ubuntu i386 desktop i believe that you end up with only linux-headers-generic-pae. is this true or do you end up with linux-headers-generic or both of them? [17:30] although this isn't ubuntu specific, if I get an error message "Buffer I/O error on device sdb, logical block 1" -- does that mean the hard drive is bad? My problems started when I restarted the machine and got back "GRUB read error" yesterday [17:30] i can't even boot a live cd when the drive is plugged in anymore [17:30] soreau, but then I can't play back movies [17:30] dan2: Why not? [17:30] soreau, vdpau obviously will only work with the nvidia driver [17:30] a5h15h, chmod o-r will remove read privileges to a file from the "everyone" group as in anyone on the system === zz_Darky is now known as Darky [17:31] kevinluikens, That means that there is an input/output (read / writing error) on the very first block of the hard drive. [17:31] Hi! i have an ubuntu 10.04 installation and i have a problem. At logon i select the language i want to work but when start i see that some programs take effect and appears with the language i select, but the system menus does not have the language, any ideas? i see that if i select the language after login on system --> language support everything goes ok [17:31] dan2: That is to say, with nouveau the outputs are correctly displayed? [17:31] how to see more infos while booting ubuntu 9.10 ? [17:31] could anyone check it for me? [17:31] it seems to boot without any ending [17:31] edbian: Okay, it continues through the fourth block. Is there a way to fix this? [17:31] in synaptics or something [17:31] soreau, what's really annoying me is that ubuntu doesn't honor the function key to switch screens turning one on and off [17:31] llutz: thanks [17:32] kevinluikens, Is that your / ? How is /dev/sdb partitioned? [17:32] Gwibber doesn't want to start for me. From the command line I get the messages here: http://pastebin.com/65YzgZdP Could someone please help me figure out what's going on? [17:32] dan2: That is all virtually automated whenthe driver supports randr1.2 [17:32] soreau, ok, how do I test out nouveau? [17:32] edbian: nope, it's a drive pulled from another machine [17:33] dan2: nouveau is the default in 10.04 before the nvidia driver is installed [17:33] anyone here understand argyll ? [17:33] edbian: it should just a single partition, as 'ls /dev' only lists 'sdb [17:33] RyanP, do you own the couchdb cache in your home dir? ;-) [17:33] kevinluikens, You should install gparted and take a look with that. Do you know how to do that? [17:33] soreau, how do I undo it? [17:33] dan2: Depends on how you 'did' it ;) [17:33] RyanP, line 19 should be a clue [17:34] edbian: well, i've burnt gparted to a cd but i can't get that to boot [17:34] kevinluikens, /dev/sdb represents the entire drive. If it was 1 partition you'd see /dev/sdb1 and nothing else. What you see means it's not mounted (probably because of these errors) [17:34] i'll install it now [17:34] edbian: ah okay [17:34] kevinluikens, You can run it on that drive because it's secondary. No need to burn it to a CD. [17:34] anyone? [17:34] kevinluikens, You can run gparted on a drive that isn't mounted. [17:35] soreau, now after uninstalling through the menu it's twice as screwed up [17:35] voglster, thanks a lot..have a nice day [17:35] a5h15h, anytime ;-) [17:35] dan2: Just use a radeon card already ;) [17:36] Whats a better GUI based archive program than the default archive manager ubuntu comes with? [17:36] * voglster feels happy when he can actually help someone and give back to the irc community that has helped him so much [17:36] hello, how can i see bootmessage on livecd? tried it with nosplash instead if splash [17:36] Hey guys, I'm wondering how i can make my ubuntu 10.4 menu bar fully transparent? [17:36] magik_: menu bar? [17:36] zege: thx - figured out - already made my own theme :) [17:36] soreau: Nevermind, got it. [17:37] soreau, how do I regenerate xconfig? [17:37] eichi: probably want to omit 'quiet' too [17:37] qwertyuiopafjklxcn [17:38] dan2: Sometimes it has a command to regenerate it in xorg.conf or at least tell you who generated it [17:38] newy1, yes your keyboard works [17:38] noitoenot [17:38] dan2: of course when switching graphics drivers you generally need to reboot the machine to reset the card === wieshka__ is now known as wieshka [17:39] my computer will not boot all the way into gnome and i cannot access run level 1 however playing w/ the initial boots and stuff i did manage to get to a prompt (not grub) but liek a run level prompt and now i cannot reproduce it [17:39] newy1, guessing thats supposed to say no it does not [17:39] jake: You should be able to boot into recovery mode [17:39] hi [17:40] oelter [17:40] soreau how do i do that? [17:40] i have changed my motd file a few times, and the message is reverted somehow [17:40] voglster: I sure seem to. I have to admit that I don't know the precise file, but everything in my home directory is owned by me. [17:40] jake: In the grub menu entry, it should have at least two entries, one being recovery mode [17:41] RyanP, lets reset all your couchdb files one sec [17:41] Is it normal to have both linux-headers-generic and linux-headers-generic-pae installed? Is it the default way or not? [17:41] i have ubuntu -i386-standard-v2_(hd0,0) [17:41] and thats it [17:41] then i have [17:42] soreau, nouveau driver doesn't even bother to display on the other screen [17:42] soreau root, kernak..., and initrd [17:42] RyanP, kill gwibber and gwibber-service, run a rm -fr ~/.cache/desktop-couch ~/.config/desktop-couch and ~/.local/share/desktop-couch, then run gwibber-service -d -o and pastebin the output [17:43] dan2: Can you pastebin the output of xrandr? [17:43] soreau, not easily, is there something in particular you're looking for [17:43] jake: Then on the kernel line, you would replace quiet with single [17:43] kok [17:44] dan2: Yes, to see if it recognizes the monitor and weather it thinks it's using it [17:44] soreau, it says the hdmi connection is disconnected [17:44] is there some way to edit the motd without it reverting back? [17:44] ribot, chmod it so it cant be written to? [17:44] dan2: Ok, but I need to see the output to know the output names.. it would be something like 'xrandr --output $OUTPUT --auto' [17:44] ribot, chmod a-w /etc/motd [17:45] Doesn't anyone know the answer? [17:45] ribot, sudo chmod a-w /etc/motd [17:45] :S [17:45] dan2: If the output name is 'hdmi' just use that in place of $OUTPUT === wieshka__ is now known as wieshka [17:45] X-Sleepy-X: sounds normal to me [17:45] ok good idea voglster ... do you know why it would revert though [17:45] ribot, nope [17:46] soreau, that didn't do anything [17:46] onetinsoldier: ok, well if you check in synaptic, do you have both or not? [17:46] edbian: so gparted just finished scanning for devices, and i saw it say 'confirming /dev/sdb...' but it seems to be ignoring it? [17:46] dan2: Is there an * next to any of the modes for hdmi output? [17:46] soreau, there are no modes because it doesn't detect the connection [17:46] soreau, it's clearly plugged in [17:46] dan2: Ah ok sec [17:46] kevinluikens, Can you look at sdb? Can you mount it? Does it have a little orange triangle? Can you "repair" it ? [17:47] voglster: Well.. that seems to work, now. [17:47] X-Sleepy-X: on my system... dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ^ii --> linux-image-generic -and- linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic [17:47] hey [17:47] soreau, that put a whole bunch of stuff up on the screeen as it booted then it died it is a black screeen w/ no promop [17:47] RyanP, i dunno man when in doubt kill it all and start from scratch lol ;-) [17:47] edbian: no, i don't seem to be able to look at it. i'm using the gui and it's not listed in the drop down list for devices. only /dev/sda is. [17:47] dan2: This works with radeon driver, not sure if nouveau implements it the same way or at all: xrandr --output $OUTPUT --set load_detection 1 [17:47] X-Sleepy-X: sorry. let me do the headers [17:48] onetinsoldier: ;) [17:48] voglster: Yeah. Thanks for your help. [17:48] RyanP, anytime [17:48] jake: that sucks man. How did this start happening? [17:48] soreau, doesn't work [17:48] * voglster thinks its quakelive time [17:48] kevinluikens, Did gparted take a very long time to start up claiming it was "scanning devices" ?? Does /dev/sdb show up in the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [17:49] dan2: Well I guess nouveau is to premature and nvidia driver too stubborn. radeon driver is much easier to work with [17:49] edbian: i thought it took a while, but i have nothing to measure against. [17:49] X-Sleepy-X: on mine... dpkg -l linux-head* | grep ^ii --> linux-headers-generic , linux-headers-2.6.32-22, and linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic [17:49] soreau my libcups2 was updating and the computer turned off and now im in the state [17:49] soreau, for your info, pressing function and screen swap key translates to the letter p in ubuntu [17:49] i have 3 devices being listed by aplay -l, but alsamixer only gives me one to choose from [17:49] jake: Do you know how to boot a live cd and chroot into the file system? [17:50] kevinluikens, I'll put it this way, when I start gparted on my machine (with no errors on my hdd's) it starts in about 3 seconds [17:50] how can i make it let me choose another one? [17:50] is their a command to retrieve the CD_LABEL from while mounting a CD from the terminal, so that i would make the CD_LABEL the mount point of the CD? [17:50] onetinsoldier: ok, so you don't have -pae ? [17:50] edbian: ah, then yes very slow. fdisk got through the sda partitions immediately and is now "hanging" [17:50] onetinsoldier: because i believe i only had -pae and now i have both after doing sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop [17:50] kevinluikens, You have a problem with this hdd [17:50] my issue with the debian download: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/i386/bt-cd/ [17:51] X-Sleepy-X: no, becuase i'm not using a pea kernel. you must be running a 32-bit system and wanted to take advantage of 4 GB or more of ram, is my guess [17:51] kevinluikens, ha ha, in case that wasn't obvious. Now maybe we can figure out what it is. Let fdisk work... [17:51] why isn't that all the cd images? [17:51] pae* [17:51] soreau i got it so i have a promtp [17:51] edbian: okay, any suggestions/ideas on how to recover some data? [17:51] kevinluikens: is that a complaint or what, in about 3 secs is first enough [17:51] edbian: haha, yeah.. [17:51] Hey y'all! I want to change the path, a symbolic link points to, WITHOUT deleting the link. Somehow it failes. I tried this http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/398435/ <- Do you folks have an idea? [17:51] jake: Ok now first thing to do is 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade' [17:51] Hi! i have an ubuntu 10.04 installation and i have a problem. At logon i select the language i want to work but when start i see that some programs take effect and appears with the language i select, but the system menus does not have the language, any ideas? i see that if i select the language after login on system --> language support everything goes ok [17:51] onetinsoldier: Ok, thank you for helping me out! :) [17:51] kevinluikens, I've never done that sort of thing. All I can say is that dd might be helpful because it works a the bit level and you don't have to explicitly mount the device. There are other tools specifically for that sort of thing though. [17:51] jake: Make sure that returns without error [17:51] X-Sleepy-X: sorry, not typing very well yet, just woke up here ;-) [17:52] ok [17:52] X-Sleepy-X: sure, you're welcome [17:52] nmvictor: a complaint about fdisk? no -- just an indication that the other disk is not functioning properly, hence the hanging [17:52] Hello [17:52] I have a small problem with the unrar program [17:52] how do i do an IFup for wireless? [17:52] kevinluikens: ok [17:52] edbian: that's true and might work, thanks. i'll update when fdisk finishes if there's anything to report [17:53] jake: ifconfig $IFACE up [17:53] it claims that any .rar files it tries to open are empty [17:53] kevinluikens, Ok. Good luck! === [J] is now known as juju2143 [17:53] ikonia, I still dont get it, i downloaded ubuntu-desktop through the terminal, and it still looks like ubuntu netbookremix, the only diffrence is that i got more programs. [17:53] and when it is ordered to extract them just creates an empty folder [17:53] and names it after the file [17:53] jake: Replace $IFACE with the real name of the interface (as reported by ifconfig) [17:53] what to do, what to do? [17:53] is their a way i could install truecrypt in ubuntu powerpc [17:53] it says gnoring unknowninterface wlan0 [17:53] ignoring [17:54] edbian: thanks for your help! [17:54] jake: what says that? [17:54] ifup wlan0 [17:54] jake: use ifconfig wlan0 up [17:54] kevinluikens, No problem! (shot in the dark here: sometimes it helps a lot if you can get the HDD cooled off) [17:54] can i use irssi behind a proxy? [17:55] microbalrog: maybe the unrar shipped with ubuntu is unable to read your rars [17:55] I just installed ubuntu-desktop through the terminal, and nothing happened, i only got more programs on my ubuntu netbookremix, what to dooo ? [17:55] microbalrog: maybe the unrar shipped with ubuntu is unable to read your rars <- it didn't ship with Ubuntu [17:55] I installed it [17:55] sulle: did you log out and then log back in? [17:55] microbalrog: then you installed the wrong ;) [17:55] I am trying to get my wireless working, im have a bcm4311 network card and i need to install the drivers, what is the best way to go about doing this? [17:56] which is the right, then? [17:56] Docteh, yes i restarted the whole thing [17:56] sulle: You probably have to select "Ubuntu" when you log on, rather than netbook, or whatever it's called. === Loneclock is now known as FlyingWatermelon [17:56] it just returns to the prompt [17:56] jake: that indicates success [17:56] brianl, network manager should work with that card [17:56] RyanP, i dont get to choose, it logs in automatic. [17:56] microbalrog: there are an open source implementation and a closed source binary which is better [17:56] BluesKaj: i just installed ubuntu, im running all the updates in update manager, and then it should see it in network manager? [17:57] brianl, yes [17:57] network is unreachable it says [17:57] brb restarting one more time [17:57] jake: What command is giving you that message? kinda hard for us to guess :P [17:57] joy [17:57] is sudo apt-get install unrar the right one?

I got this error > PEM_read_PrivateKey failed [18:01] edbian, i 2nd that [18:01] sorau: what I mean is I already installed unrar, or at least Terminal is telling me that [18:01] okay, i was told by somone that apt was outdated or something, but it from someone using fedora ;\ [18:01] jake: I assume you're trying to connect to the wireless ap. Does iwconfig show wlan9 iface?

I just can't understand why you have 60+ people on a channel and no one will say anything to you at all when you have a problem... it kinda defeats the purpose of the channel. [20:59] timposey: #openoffice.org is the place, you will need a little patience though [20:59] i've got ubuntu 10.04 installed on a machine, getting no sound out of it. also not getting any errors. all channels are unmuted [20:59] Not just openoffice, but firefox and everything.

[21:05] is there a reason why the single, text, S kernel parameters don't seem to work on 10.04? [21:05] 32 bit will work on 64 bit system [21:05] am i mistaken? X crashes, and i need to install a new kernel, so i need to get to the console. [21:05] i'm in the package installer and it says status: wrong architecutre 'i386' [21:06] which is the better way to go [21:06] is this possible? (crtl+alt+f1 does not work) [21:06] I waited an hour and reposted, then one of the users came on and told me to stop reposting. in all the time that I had been on, not a single person had posted anything... I told them I could understand that this was causing problems due to the huge number of questions and responses on the channel. At least here someone will say, I don't have a clue if they don't know.

[21:10] hadi57: you dont fix that [21:11] !ask | Hadi [21:11] Hadi: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [21:11] you buy a new flash drive [21:11] grimly that usually only causes the install to not function at all or stop in the middle of install [21:11] anyone know anything about UbuntuOne? havent been able to sync === fox_ is now known as BlackFox_TR [21:11] hadi57: SMART data says the disk is failing? if so you're screwed backup to somethin buy a new drive [21:12] !ubuntuone | friTTe| [21:12] friTTe|: Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [21:12] hi [21:12] no data, i was deleting the partition prior to install ubuntu [21:12] Well im using right now without problems but sometimes when i use skype it freezes [21:12] yeah got it all setup and stuff but doesnt seems to sync my Evolution contacts [21:12] no problem the data [21:12] hardisk cant be fixed? === sisu_math is now known as moomlyn [21:12] say, has there been any changes to nfs server or autfs lately, like in the last few weeks?

I was just wondering if that bootable will be the 'alternate' or 'desktop' flavour [21:18] kjele: Download has 30 min remaining, and by the time it finishes, I have to go and come back later... [21:18] I guess it depends on the version I use to make it [21:18] bonkgr: By that time I might have felt asleep [21:18] etotheipi: if you use the desktop iso it will be the desktop version [21:19] kjele: so, I should be able to reinstall os to the partition without reformatting, right?

[22:14] kyle_: elinks [22:14] okay, I think I got it working [22:14] can anyone help with my nvidia gfx card resolutions? worked fine out-of-the-box with the close driver the first time I installed, now it doesn't [22:14] via sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1; sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.1 [22:15] freezway, my touchsreen has the cursor direction inverted. Is a MSI AE1900 ... [22:15] ok, so you did an upgrade, and now you cant get logged in because booting up hangs at the disk check right? [22:15] kyle_: w3m, lynx,... [22:15] the problem I think might've been in the synaptic manager [22:15] I have a windows 7 PC and an Ubuntu unit, I want to set the Ubuntu box up as a server with iits internet running adhoc from the desktop how would i go aboutdoing this [22:15] but I have to ask: what is with this debian_start mysql check crap? [22:15] Appetite: well, google for your specifics: laptop, OS version etc -- as a last resort you can create a special xconfig file, but it is a pain in the butt [22:15] yes [22:15] annoying as!! [22:15] cloudThree, try google? I am no touchscreen guru... [22:15] freezway, I did it already [22:15] can i get IRC on consolo? [22:16] this was an upgrade using the file you download from pidgin.im/ubuntu to upgrade pidgin [22:16] cloudThree, Sorry. =| i can't help... [22:16] any recommendation if i should install 32bit or 64bit for my home computer? [22:16] nic, do you didn't upgrade the system, you just tried to upgrade pidgen?

[22:17] I just downloaded the PPA file from the url I listed before, clicked Upgrade Manager, check then upgrade [22:17] are you using the computer right now? [22:17] then rebooted. [22:17] ahhh [22:17] ok [22:17] !google | freezway [22:17] freezway: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [22:17] so you did upgrade the whole system [22:17] well there was nothing else to upgrade [22:17] Appetite: once again, try the fresh start method: log out then log in, start the video, move the app to the external monitor, maximize it, chances are that'll work [22:17] what is nisdomin name? [22:17] it was last updated via the upgrade manager 2 days ago so i have not even opened the application since until today when i was attempting to upgrade pidgin [22:17] OK, so can someone let me why you would use terminal web browsing [22:18] administrator_ can i get IRC on console? i´ll prefer! [22:18] yeah, i know. ok. well lets try bypassing the disk check and see what happens [22:18] still getting mysql crashing all the freaking time... [22:18] Appetite: the video should be the first and only app to start, once you moved it, you can start other apps [22:18] * Kuraiou sighs. [22:18] kyle_: asking for discussions in a support channel? - please don't [22:18] i want you to do a 'more /etc/fstab' [22:18] ok then [22:18] Soz [22:19] sudo or just general [22:19] ? [22:19] mwen: irssi [22:19] and tell me the /dev/hd* lines [22:19] or the /dev/sd* lines [22:19] more should work [22:19] if not, sudo more /etc/fstab [22:19] ok [22:19] hi... is there any expected drawback if i install the 64bit ubuntu? (i have 64 bit processor) [22:19] guntbert: like : apt-get install irssi? [22:19] no [22:20] mwen: with sudo, yes [22:20] General error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away [22:20] this keeps happening [22:20] we have /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf , iso9660 usrer, noauto, exec, utf8 0 0 [22:20] over and over and over [22:20] So I was curious if anyoine could link me to or tell me a decent way to add ubuntu as a second OS to my MacBook Pro [22:20] simple enough thanks === thibow is now known as thb|Ou7 [22:20] guntbert: thanks. i gonna try.

[22:22] Good talking to you guys. I've got to run [22:22] haibane: I seem to remember a while ago I downloaded a live version of ubuntu that could be booted on a powerbook [22:22] hey I'm having a weird issue but I'm not sure what search terms I would use to find a related bug in launchpad or to report it: [22:23] guntbert: funny! i mean country. [22:23] Jordan_U, i dont get to the login screen to try, [22:23] haibane: is it a powerpc or intel powerbook [22:23] aikoniv: easy way would be to sttart by searching the application name with the bug in it [22:23] RayzrShrp I'm working with intel based chips [22:23] Jordan_U, the best I can do is a terminal login [22:23] haibane: oh my powerbook was a ppc [22:23] RayzrShrp its a macbook not a powerbook. [22:23] haibane: gotcha [22:23] KalEl: I see that the first time - no idea why they say that [22:23] guntbert thanks [22:24] haibane: well then you should be able to boot the live i386 of ubuntu [22:24] when I use my laptop with an external monitor, often (but not always) several types of video, including the webcam display in Skype and Cheese, the Rhythmbox visualization, and Totem video, are only visible in a 1-pixel strip at the top of the screen [22:24] RayzrShrp I'm running snow leopard, but would like to dual boot if possible more so as toy [22:24] mwen: keep to support please [22:24] if I disable either the LVDS or the external display, it works fine [22:24] j2daosh, I cant do any of that I told you I dont have internet from the terminal login and im typing command results from a different machine [22:24] how big a root partition should i reserve for working comfortably? i want to keep a separate very large partition for multimedia - which will be the rest of the hard disk [22:24] ahhh [22:24] well crap [22:24] RayzrShrp I know I can, but its the dual booting that gets me on an already established system [22:24] haibane: i know nothing about dual booting a mac but i'm sure there is a how-to somewhere out there [22:24] what is the command for finding your drives again? [22:24] KalEl: I'v been using the 64bit version for 3 years now - nothing bad happened [22:24] guntbert: ok. how i beggin? [22:25] haibane: You install Ubuntu the same on a mac as on windows, with the the exception that you need to either hold option during boot to boot into Ubuntu after installing it or install rEFIt. [22:25] haibane: s/on windows/on a standard PC/ [22:25] Nic: sudo fdick -l [22:25] sudo fdisk -l [22:25] NIS domainname what it is? [22:25] guntbert, i heard there are some problems with flash, and "lack of completeness for 64 bit packages especially codecs" - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403064 === juju2143 is now known as [J] [22:26] Jordan_U I'm not familiar with installing windows on a mac as I've never had the need for it. [22:26] guntbert did you face any such issue? [22:26] can anyone help with my nvidia gfx card resolutions? worked fine out-of-the-box with the close driver the first time I installed, now it doesn't [22:26] fuck i think a format would be better this 10.04 is shit. [22:26] Thanks guys, but I have to run. I guess I didn't allow enough time. I'll be back later tonight [22:26] haibane: I meant installing Ubuntu on a mac is the same as installing Ubuntu to a standard PC. The "windows" bit was a typo. [22:26] freezway: what errors are you getting? [22:27] i think your gonna end up having to do that [22:27] ugh [22:27] new operating system time [22:27] cyas [22:27] i dont have my laptop booted into linux right now because im reformatting so im trying to do it from memory [22:27] anybody here running irssi [22:28] probably many people === [J] is now known as juju2143 [22:28] is there a shell to cli on irssi without having screen running? [22:28] i know ot but dont really wanna go join #irssi === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [22:28] /exec ? [22:28] KalEl: on a spare system, give all disk space to root partition, install all the apps you know/care about, measure the used space with df -h, and double that [22:29] bolster, none, just not the correct resloution [22:29] jakexks: thanks [22:29] having a problem removing LAMP i get this code di@di:~$ sudo tasksel [22:29] tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [22:29] I installed deluge in Ubuntu. it opens just fine, and I can double click a .torrent file and have it load deluge, but when I try to download and auto open a torrent file using firefox it doesn't show up as a selectable program... has it not installed properly, or is there something else I need to do? [22:29] bolster, i did a reinstall and the problem persists [22:29] draod ahh thanks - last i measured it was about 8gb - so 16gb should be enough then (i will reinstall) [22:29] freezway: what resolution are you looking for and whar are you getting? [22:30] bolster, 1920x1080... i can get 1360x768' [22:30] what is this refering to it cant remove LAMP ????? tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [22:30] I should clarify that if I right click a .torrent file and choose open with other app, Deluge does not show up, either. [22:31] quick question... do you need to restart the computer or just X to install a driver... [22:31] freezway: single monitor or duals? Try setting up a custom metamode in xorg.conf === elb0w is now known as elb0w`done4day [22:31] need complete restart as its the easiest way to inject the kernel module that the installer compiles [22:32] bolster, single... I don't know how... Someone (DasEi) i think walked me through that yesterday, but to no avail [22:33] what is this refering to it cant remove LAMP ????? tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [22:33] ok, so youve done the 'NVidia Installer_xxx.xxx.xxx' jazz, it walked through a few questions, probably complained about kernel stuff etc? [22:34] bolster, i have only installed drivers from "hardware drivers" and they CLAIM to have installed correctly... [22:34] i did 'sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter' to install the drivers for my wireless card yet i still cant get it to work [22:35] ok, do you have 'NVidia X Server Settings' in the System>Admin menu? === Guest787 is now known as evilchazz [22:35] how do I run a file browser as root? [22:36] SomethingElse, just do alt+f2 [22:36] then type in [22:36] "gksu nautilus" [22:36] bolster, yes, also plz add my name to you speaking... i need the ping sound [22:36] and enter ur password and it will open a root file manager [22:36] (assuming you have a admin user) [22:37] anyone know about changing the splash screen? [22:37] KalEl: I've personally never, ever gone over 5G... 10G should be plenty.... [22:37] can anyone help with the installation for a broadcomm wireless apater [22:37] Loshki thanks a lot - i was beginning to thinking 16gb would be too much [22:37] adapter [22:38] freezway: The nvidia drivers in the package manager are a bit outdated, I'd suggest getting the latest drivers (I have a notion they released new ones this week, but dont quote me) This is a great walkthrough of some of the usual pitfalls: freezway After that if should go sweet. [22:38] Chacho, what do you need ? [22:38] hello world [22:38] \join #java [22:38] freezway Copied wrong thing : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [22:38] Chacho, have you updated your computer? Best way is to connect via Ethernet cable, do a refresh of cache and update via update manager. Then go into System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and it will be there to install [22:38] What ccsm window class does gksu fall in? [22:39] well I cant get the adapter to be recognized [22:39] +1 krysis [22:39] I have issues with xbindkeys, doesn't start on startup, I have to rerun it randomly... How can I fix this? [22:39] KalEl: well these days with 1,5TB disks, it hardly matters. I do find it handy to keep a spare 10G root partition pre-allocated, for backups/upgrades... [22:39] I I have updated already [22:39] vince_, whats the plus one for :P [22:40] bolster, do i need to reboot, or just restart X for the new drivers? [22:40] 'ok krysis let me try to go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [22:40] Chacho, tell me what you see [22:41] freezway: restart of X .. log out then back in [22:41] Freezway:Definite reboot this time: Easier than trying to do it live. Scribble down some notes from the site incase you forget [22:41] re [22:41] ok I see a window with Broadcom b43 wireless driver info [22:41] bastidrazor, bolster ok... i got two different answers.... [22:42] It says that the driver is active and currently in use [22:42] freezway: you only need a restart of X. you can do a full reboot if you want. [22:42] Krysis, your solution for the broadcom thing [22:42] did you just activate it Chacho? [22:42] vince_, ah ty :P new to this system haha [22:42] bastidrazor freezway IANAE but for all the time it takes to reboot, I'd personally consider it safer [22:42] is it possible to manually change i386 lucid to amd64 lucid? my laptop is amd64, but im running i386 lucid and i want to run a 64bit-only linux game [22:43] i just installed ubuntu 10.4 [22:43] bsmith093:short answer no, needs reinstall [22:43] I have issues with xbindkeys, doesn't start on startup, I have to rerun it randomly... How can I fix this? [22:43] bolster, k... reboot it is [22:43] bsmith093: No, backup and reinstalling is ususally the _easiest_ way. [22:43] on a related note, is there a reliable adobe flash plugin nonfree for amd64 or is it still crap [22:43] hi - does anybody know of a script that will go through my music directory and make multiple cd's from it? [22:43] Chacho, ok, when u click on the wireless icon in the top right what do you see pop down? [22:43] i have a few cd's worth of music that I want to span multiple disks, without doing it manually preferably [22:43] how do you remove Transmission? [22:44] bsmith093 better than it was so its upgraded from shit to fugly === Prodego__ is now known as Prodego [22:44] Chacho, there are two broadcom drivers [22:44] iantlopp, go into Applications > Ubuntu Software Center > Search for Transmission > Remove [22:44] the wireless icon on the top right has a red exclamation point [22:44] does ubuntu come with SSH client? [22:44] Chacho, if you click on it do you see wireless networks available? [22:44] does the flash plugin exist for amd64? [22:44] isam_: client yes but the server requires openssh-server [22:44] yes [22:44] krysis: Synaptic and aptitude both say that transmission is not installed. [22:44] isam_: it does. /usr/bin/ssh [22:44] Chacho, I think it means the driver detects a wireless connection [22:44] isam_: openssh-client [22:45] ok guys I got it [22:45] i mean ssh client like putty for windows [22:45] thanx you guys very much [22:45] Chacho, cool, enjoy ubuntu =) [22:45] sudo apt-get remove rm transmission but the other waqy is easier willremove all un needed apps also [22:45] for some reason I couldnt get this to work earlier [22:45] iantlopp, is it still in the Application > Internet menu? [22:45] Chacho, :) [22:45] !query [22:45] isam_: ssh from command line is your client and nothing like putty. [22:45] hiexpo: I did sudo apt-get purge transmission, also went to synaptic, doesn't show up. [22:45] krysis, yes, and it still loads up as if installed. [22:45] thought maybe there was more to it [22:45] isam_ sudo apt-get install putty [22:45] I appreciate the help [22:46] one more thing.... [22:46] iantlopp, open up a terminal, then put in: whereis transmission [22:46] iantlopp, tell me what comes up [22:46] do u guys know how to setup irc in Empathy [22:46] is there a "repair install" (like in windows) for ubuntu yet? [22:46] chacho use pidgin its much easier [22:46] chacho: sudo apt-get install x-chat (it's better) [22:47] transmission: /usr/bin/transmission /usr/share/transmission /usr/share/man/man1/transmission.1.gz [22:47] does the ubuntu live cd or default installtion include an irc client which i can use to log in to #ubuntu? [22:47] bsmith093, what do you mean repair install? there are many methods of doing so but im not sure what feature of windows this is [22:47] KalEl, nope [22:47] krysis wow [22:47] KalEl, you can use empathy though [22:47] yo yo yo [22:47] bsmith093 yes there is (as in boot from livecd repair installation menu item) [22:47] ok let me check both of those out and see which one I like best [22:47] ? [22:47] krysis alright... thanks [22:47] 有人会说中文吗 [22:47] yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo [22:47] is there an option on the livecd, or is there a seperate iso, that will detect a ubuntu install and try to fix it? [22:48] chacho: actually it's xchat (without the hyphen) [22:48] ActionParsnip... stop repeating yourself [22:48] !cn|china_chenjie [22:48] china_chenjie: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [22:48] bsmith093: you can chroot to the installed system and repair from there [22:48] iantlopp: interesting.. possibly install it then uninstall it? [22:48] thanks guys [22:49] ActionParsnip: one 'yo' less and no linewrap would have occured, here [22:49] rather annoying as I can't get deluge to work right, but can't get rid of Transmission [22:49] bsmith093 and sjm can I get those thru ubuntu software center or synaptic package mnager [22:49] iantlopp, if you do sudo apt-get remove transmission it tells you that it doesnt exist? [22:49] how do I shut down my raid to get it ready for moving?? [22:49] iantlopp: was it running when you tried to uninstall it? [22:49] 晕。。没人能听懂。 [22:49] sjm: no [22:49] bastidrazor: thought i'd mix it up, its usually 3 ;) [22:49] Could someone please tell me how to install grub to a usb hard drive through my live cd? (10.04) I'm trying to do "grub-install /dev/sda1" but that doesn't work [22:49] chacho yes sudo apt-get install pidgin [22:49] iantlopp: i see the same weirdness here. [22:49] krysis, getting a strager one now... one moment. [22:49] ActionParsnip: :) [22:49] chacho: synaptic or apt-get (I haven't really used the software center) [22:49] When I try to run sudo aptitude install build-essential linux-headers-’uname -r’ I get This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers. What do I do? [22:49] iantlopp, talk to me on private chan [22:49] ok thanx [22:50] and sudo apt-get autoremove --purge empathy will purge empathy and all its dependencies [22:50] Purpley, is this not the first account created on that system? [22:50] ？ [22:50] ／ [22:50] ／ [22:50] ／ [22:50] china_chenjie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:50] s3a, No it is [22:50] `uname -r`you meat? [22:50] s3a grub-install /dev/sda [22:50] bsmith093: not its dependancies, you need to run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [22:51] drizzt_, It says its going to remove packages not install them [22:51] how do I shut down my raid to get it ready for moving?? [22:51] it works both ways/ [22:51] ok xchat is irc only and pidgin is universal? [22:51] Purpley, so you can't do sudo anything? [22:51] drizzt_, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-linksys-wusb54g-v4-wireless-in-ubuntu-gusty.html Im following that because im having trouble [22:51] Somethingelse: can you clarify? [22:52] chacho: I think so. I use xchat for irc and pidgin for all other IMs [22:52] Purpley, wow, you've got Linux Dependancy Hell then [22:52] chacho im not sure about xchat, but yes pidgin runs practically every protocol [22:52] how do i re athinicate in freenode what is the link [22:52] bolster: could i have that link again? [22:52] freezway: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [22:52] oh no [22:52] drizzt_, What do i do? [22:52] Purpley: backticks.. ` ` beside the 1 key [22:52] bsmith093, http://pastebin.com/jLKGJvsp [22:52] ok i researched both of them really quick and that is what I got from the quick look [22:52] I'm moving my raid 5 to another computer. How do I stop the raid so I can move it?? [22:52] Purpley, could you paste athe aptitude output? [22:53] Chacho, true, xchat for IRC is pretty good, and pidgin does msn, icq, aim and things [22:53] !pidgin [22:53] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete [22:53] vince_ is pidgin better than Empathy? [22:53] drizzt_, Yeah sure give me a moment [22:53] iantlopp, well in my opinion it is [22:53] !better [22:53] 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. [22:54] vince_ as it's not a support related question, want to pm me why you feel so? [22:54] iantlopp: its a personal thig, some like empathy, some like pidgin [22:54] iantlopp, empathy is still buggy, less options than pidgin [22:54] really enjoying empathy, but having some... issues with it. [22:54] hi [22:54] I think Im going to try pidgin [22:54] pidgin [22:54] drizzt_, Can I use this instead http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=rt2570 [22:54] pidgin used to be the "official" client shipped with ubuntu [22:54] ah [22:54] works with all nots so buggy in my opion [22:54] guys i need help. my plymouth bootsplash is gone after i installed startupmanager. how can i put it back? [22:55] somethingelse:sorry dude, not a clue; in theory you should be able to keep the raid5 volume intact by just swapping the disks to the new mashine [22:55] K, thanks..

[23:03] drizzt_, or hold shift during booting [23:04] Whenever I try to add a new user and click add user no window for it pops up. I also noticed if I am trying to install applications it does the same thing [23:04] bastidrazor, IanBaliadJr: thanks ;-) [23:04] And it should works? [23:04] Dave__: unrar x -p'MySecretPass' archive.rar [23:04] nadeem: try adding the i8024.reset boot option [23:04] chacho, if you are only looking because IRC doesn't work with empathy, you could run empathy/xchat combination, too. [23:04] how to do so??? [23:04] X-59, remove quiet and splash keywords from command line and tell us what you see [23:04] when i reboot to a thumbdrive using Lucid to check the drive there's no errors found [23:04] draod: im guessing thats without the ' ' [23:04] Ok Wait :D [23:04] Dave__: no, with. [23:04] alright [23:05] nadeem: add it in /etc/default/grub [23:05] Dave__: but it'll break if MySecretPass itself contains a ' [23:05] na it doesnt [23:05] Dave__: lucky you :) [23:05] I do a lot of online banking... do i need a firewall or antivirus with ubuntu? [23:05] ActionParsnip can you put the line that i shoudl add [23:05] miserable worthless pile of crap... I can't get rid of Transmission to save my life :( [23:05] nadeem: add it in the quotes on this file: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [23:05] well empathy does run irc....just cant get it to go [23:05] nadeem: then run: sudo update-grub [23:06] hi [23:06] bastidrazor: also, after installing that packe you told me, i still get the error [23:06] I think sjm is right....should just get xchat [23:06] Chacho: never use an IM program for IRC... you'll only hate yourself in the end. [23:06] draod: it says : unrar: invalid option -- 'S' (The start of the password is S [23:06] Xchat is so much smoother [23:06] draod: it also asks me to enter the password when i run the command [23:06] isam_, antivirus are quite useless in Linux because most Linux malware are targeted scripts [23:06] of course that's just my opinion, but you'll find it's a lot of other people's opinion too. [23:07] iantlopp: i've bee using pidgin for IRC since mandrake 7 was out and it was called gaim [23:07] Dave__: mhh. leave out the -p... part and use the interactive mode [23:07] ActionParsnip, to each their own... I just can't stand the feel of IRC in an IM client [23:07] Anyone know why w32codecs has no installation candidate if i ttry to install it? what should i be installing instead? [23:07] thx [23:07] what do you mean interactive mode? draod [23:08] does anyone know how to get rid of transmission properly? ubuntu is hating me right now. [23:08] iantlopp: indeed, works here, doesn't feel like an IM client, and infact it is an irc client too ;) [23:08] Dave__: i mean when it asks for the password, enter it === thb|Ou7 is now known as thibow [23:08] drizzt_: what about firewall & anti-spyware? [23:08] Appetite: non-free-codecs from the medibuntu repository [23:08] Appetite: i think you have to enable some repository [23:08] iantlopp: sudo apt-get --purge remove transmission; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [23:08] draod: unrar: invalid archive 'x': Bad address [23:08] bastidrazor: what sources.list line should i add? [23:08] ActionParsnip, but that's like saying Firefox with chatzilla is an IRC client... while technically true... shooting myself in the foot is technically a way to relieve the pain of a stubbed toe, as well. [23:09] !medibuntu | Appetite [23:09] Appetite: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:09] ActionParsnip thx i did that but what is the relation between grub and this problem if you can answer me? [23:09] iantlopp: a client is defined as connecting to a server to use the service, its an irc client [23:09] wow it's busy in here - is there a better place to pursue assistance with upgrading e2fsprogs on karmic? [23:09] Alguem sabe como deixar as janelas transparentes [23:09] Dave__: type only unrar what's the first line of output? [23:09] ?

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:09] ActionParsnip, that's what I said... but it doesn't mean it's a healthy one ;-p [23:09] nadeem: it adds an extra option which may make the touchpad nice [23:09] !pt | jrluzetti [23:09] jrluzetti: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [23:09] draod: unrar: Archive not specified [23:10] #ubuntu-br [23:10] iantlopp: "healthy" or not, its still an irc client, the fact it can also chat on other protocols is moot [23:10] ActionParsnip, the purge didn't work... I tried to remove, purge, install then remove, get rid of it in Synaptic, etc... but it doesn't go byebye [23:10] Hey guys when I try to add a new user and hit add it does nothing no windows come up or anything [23:10] drizzt_: thanks for the info [23:10] iantlopp: run: dpkg -l | grep transmission [23:10] Dave__: you *need* to get Roshal's unrar, the real one. i guess you've got an "unrar-free" or something. this is bogus [23:10] madara: try from a terminal: sudo adduser newusername [23:10] ok, i HAVE to solve this issue [23:11] yes draod i have, ill download the one you suggested and get back to you if i have more problems. Thanks [23:11] it shows up transmission-cli transmission-common and transmission-gtk [23:11] Okay and what about applications it does the same thing to that too when I hit install not windows come up [23:11] nadeem: grub boots the kernel and passes the options you give it, sometimes that option makes touchpads nice [23:11] but it doesn't show the actual transmission package [23:11] everytime i go to http://www.windmobile.ca using firefox 3.6.x under lucid, my laptop freezes HARD [23:11] iantlopp: ok, remove those :) [23:11] only thing that still works is moving the mouse cursor [23:12] ActionParsnip thx for your help [23:12] nrg: flash? [23:12] either it locks up before the site still loads [23:12] iantlopp: found it.. transmission-common transmission-gtk are the two packages you need to uninstall [23:12] or it locks up after a few minutes [23:12] <|littlebear|> nrg: try using a proxy [23:12] another time then [23:12] nrg: no it's probably flash [23:12] <|littlebear|> nrg: http://proxy.littlebearz.com see if it freeeze up [23:12] nrg: go download flashblock [23:12] i tried with the new 2.6.34 kernel [23:12] same thing [23:13] i even tried disabling flash [23:13] it still locks up [23:13] so it [23:13] it's not flash related [23:13] nrg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:13] lol [23:13] yay! transmission byebye [23:13] now to get deluge workin [23:13] yes [23:13] i screwed up the smb.conf for samba and forgot to back up the orig and i'm trying to reinstall samba and cant get it to regenerate a new config, i even deleted /etc/samba after doing sudo apt-get purge samba [23:13] I had the flash plugin disabled in firefox [23:14] iantlopp: in synaptic i did a search for tranmission. then looked for what was installed. [23:14] and my machine still locked up eventually [23:14] nrg: can you give a pastebin of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf === nrg is now known as PwrSurge [23:14] bastidrazor: I thought if the actual package - transmission, wasn't there, then the others were just libraries or dependencies, and not the actual program itself. [23:14] that was my laptop that froze [23:14] i'm on my PC right now [23:14] will boot again [23:15] i screwed up the smb.conf for samba and forgot to back up the orig and i'm trying to reinstall samba and cant get it to regenerate a new config, i even deleted /etc/samba after doing sudo apt-get purge samba so where can i find a default smb.conf or get samba to regenerate the files in /etc/samba [23:15] @bastidrazor what about applications it does the same thing to that too when I hit install not windows to install any program come u [23:15] bastidrazor: i'm still getting a failed conversion [23:15] bastidrazor: is there anything i may be missingg?

I don't know how to do this. I'm hoping their is a program like ISOMaster for img files. Any help would be great [23:20] madara: ActionParsnip asked you - can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [23:20] alright [23:21] if I'm hyperparanoid, should I encrypt my swap partition? [23:22] etotheipi: there is such a thing as to much security [23:22] ActionParsnip, : i'm currently using kernel 2.6.34-5-generic, Adobe Flash 64 bit v 10.0 r45, no gnash installed and no swf installed [23:22] PwrSurge: worth a check though [23:23] IdleOne: is everything in swap erased on shutdown? [23:23] Here you go http://pastebin.com/at6GJVbv [23:23] I did check with your command [23:23] etotheipi: I would think so [23:23] it only returns adobe flash [23:23] well, if that's the case... maybe it's too much trouble to encrypt it [23:23] as the flash plugin installed [23:23] PwrSurge: ok as long as nothing outputted thats ok (unless you have the flashplugin-installer64 package installed) [23:24] I'm having a networking problem. It's not really a Ubuntu problem, maybe someone could help or point me to some help..... [23:24] etotheipi: of course it's not erased. but something might overwrite it eventually. or not [23:25] how do i make mountd and nlockmgr use privalged ports? === carlos__ is now known as dtcrshr [23:25] sjm what was the terminal command to get xchat [23:25] can anyone help me out with remote desktop connection [23:25] something I notice though with flash enabled is that I get an error message when I load a page with flash when I run firefox from the console [23:25] Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead [23:25] I get this message repeating non-stop [23:25] in the console [23:25] how do i connect to someone im trying to help? [23:26] i have their ip but the screen i sblack [23:26] @ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/at6GJVbv [23:27] and when I disable the flash plugin and try again, I don't get this message anymore [23:27] madara: what about: sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get --reinstall install gedit [23:27] Oh I'll check that too [23:28] lets see if I can still make the machine lock up with flash disabled under the new 2.6.34 kernel [23:29] chacho: sudo apt-get install xchat [23:29] ok i just got it installed [23:29] draod: isn't it better to encrypt it, then? just in case something personal ends up there. [23:29] I'm having a networking problem. It's not really a Ubuntu problem, maybe someone could help or point me to some help..... [23:30] bob_: if you give some details we may e able to help. Simply saying "i have a problem" won't get you any help at all [23:30] bob_: #networking might be a good place to ask [23:31] IdleOne: Ill check that out. Thanks [23:31] @ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/qjLwS3np [23:31] etotheipi: yes, i would think so [23:31] does anybody here keep getting abused by the freenode opers? [23:32] madara: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove will remove the packages you no longer needed [23:32] Has anyone tried out 10.04 on an Alienware m11x?

Hope you like it. (you can choose you're nickname in the setup or per network, if you want to change it to default to chacho) [23:35] norrec: sure, the 1st is dhcp.conf [23:35] bastidrazor: Thanks!

My right monitor is the monitor I use daily, and left monitor I use when I need extra space (i.e. right monitor is *my* default). Thing is, when I launch an application it will open on the left monitor. Also applies to full screen flash videos (yes I know flash sucks) and pop up windows from within chr [23:40] omium. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get everything to run on the right monitor? [23:40] fixmypc956: for what?

[23:40] for the highlighting [23:40] ActionParsnips, ok as soon as the upgrade finishes I'll put it back on wifi and see [23:41] fixmypc956: no. /msg is private messages. xchat recognizes your nick on the line and automatically highlights it.

[23:49] yes, i need to learn how to unpack a password protected archive [23:49] lol [23:50] How do you locate a file on a hard drive using the grub2 CLI? I'm not sure what (hd0), (hd0,1), (hd1,5) mean nor how I would navigate the folder structure if that were even possible [23:50] Dougie: I had a lot of issues with WPA/WPA2 and lucid. After a bit of trial and error I managed to get WPA working using AES [23:50] vlt: Not that I know of [23:50] I have issues with xbindkeys, doesn't start on startup, I have to rerun it randomly... How can I fix this? [23:50] hd0 is sda, hd1,5 is sdb6 etc [23:50] go to file system and search {file name} [23:50] Akiraa: (hd0,1) is first partition now. [23:51] drizzt_: yes its me, i need to learn how to unpack a password protected rar archive [23:51] well think I'll just set it up as WEP or use mac filtering if that's the case [23:51] Akiraa: formerly known as (hd0,0). You should be able to acces files using the (hd0,1):/boot/... syntax [23:52] if you install unrar and use file roller it should ask you for the password [23:52] Dave__, right click on it on and exract here [23:52] Dave__, so what are first bytes of that file? or what 'file' is saying about it? [23:52] rar is windows though [23:52] Dave__ if am'just listien into' various Ubuntu channels atm..and xchat is currently fav option. It would be nice to retrieve my selected channels [23:52] unrar is install via synaptic or sudo apt-get install unrar [23:53] rar is not just for windows === noel is now known as Guest26683 [23:53] i have unrar already [23:53] sudo apt-get unrar-free [23:53] right.. :) [23:53] switching to WEP doesn't seem to have cured anything [23:53] drizzt_: the filename is The_Feeder.part1.rar [23:53] sudo apt-get install unrar-free [23:53] Anyone on the grub2 issue? I just get a flashing cursor... [23:54] unrar works too. [23:54] <_nicolas_> hermano: our names is near. it´s sound like [23:54] apt-cache search unrar [23:54] vlt: the command 'ls' outputs: "(hd0) (hd0,5) (hd0,1)" on a default ubuntu install box [23:54] Dave__, type in terminal od -x The_Feeder* | head 5 - [23:54] do you know a program that record online tv streaming inside firefox browser? thnaks [23:54] robb_, ya but limited unrar free is better [23:55] doesn't appear to be due to wireless security....hmm I think it may be a driver issue [23:55] brb [23:55] good to know... thanks :) [23:55] Hi all. I have a little problem with my wireless usb adapter. I'm using Ubuntu Lucid. It works properly, however, sometimes it just disconnects and stops working. And I cannot find wlan0 in ifconfig. This usually happens when I have high traffic. It also happened the other day when i had my external HD connected. And it stopped recognizing the external HD too. I can fix it with rmmod ndiswrapper. then modprobe ndiswrapper. But I w [23:55] as wondering if there was a way to just not have it happen at all [23:55] anyone knows what happened to Lilo? [23:55] :) [23:55] I want to install some locales on 10.04, but when I do #dpkg-reconfigure locales it just regenerates the ones I have already installed, instead of coming up with a list of new locales to install [23:55] Surely I'm not the only person who has had this issue with grub? I've had it on two machines now?

How can I fix this? [23:56] kandinski, you should add them manually in some file [23:56] acerimmer_: Thats good to know, I'm getting quite frustrated trying to google for it. [23:56] <_nicolas_> hey! i can´t see any computer on my network [23:56] MikeH_: not to suggest for a second that I actually have a solution... [23:56] Dave__, space between 5 and - [23:56] acerimmer_: Is there a fix anywhere? Perhaps instructions on how to install original grub? [23:56] MikeH_, - grub2 [23:56] hello all, I was wondering if i could get some help configuring my wireless bcm4312? [23:56] hiexpo: ?

[23:59] been a while since I used ubuntu lol [23:59] hey everyone for some reason compiz doesn't load when i startup my computer. If I switch my desktop effects to normal it loads but then if i logout and back in it gets reset to metacity or something else.
