[00:06] AmgJesus, - | windows [00:06] is there any way to log when your machine locks up?

[00:06] perhaps ssh to it? [00:06] MikeH_: please restate problem/details of your grub issues [00:06] I know that Random832.

[00:06] Random832: also, the factoid is "!feeding the troll". i know because i made that factoid. [00:06] acerimmer_: Two things, there seems to be no information on the issues with grub2, and that link you pasted, as grateful as I am, only explains how to restore grub in a release that ships with grub-legacy.

Random832 just probably read you wrong is all [00:09] **Stupid Question Alert** Is it possible to blank and password protect the console on 10.04 server?? [00:09] MikeH_: troubleshooting mode.

[00:10] so like [00:10] IdleOne, it means do not feed the trolls [00:10] if someone talks like this [00:10] Hi. Any ideas how to install minimalist Ubuntu? I don't even want X [00:10] acerimmer_: No, but the chances of two different iso's being corrupt two weeks apart downloaded on different machines delivered by different media? [00:10] drizzt_: was that for me? [00:10] My poor desktop is worse off than I thought [00:10] Salah, Ubuntu is not mi nimalist [00:10] Any Access guru's here or channel recommendations for one? [00:10] Etherael: `dpkg --get-selections` [00:10] greezmunkey, yeap [00:11] Jordan_U: The issue isn't with the grub config? [00:11] drizzt_: Can be. [00:11] !minimal | Salah [00:11] Salah: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:11] Can't get Windows to install, can't get the Ubuntu CD to work at all :| [00:11] IdleOne, thanks [00:11] Salah: debootstrap [00:11] Salah: welcome [00:11] IdleOne, - they picking on u tonight ? / i will stop that u are a nice guy [00:11] jpds, nope, it's packets are too large and too many junk dependencies [00:11] Looks like it's a hardware issue [00:11] drizzt_: yeah, I wanted to leave a program running whilst I stepped away, but wanted to secure the console if possible [00:11] hiexpo: I am used to it :) [00:12] MikeH_: I don't understand your question. [00:12] on a running ubuntu system, is there an easy way of adding/configuring a software RAID5 array using some sort of menu-driven software, like in the initial installation of ubuntu? [00:12] Good evening. [00:12] drizzt_: Well, what about the JeOS option? [00:12] Any Access guru's here or channel recommendations for one? [00:12] drizzt_: no worries, I'll look into it later - thanks. [00:12] how do I enable sshd on ubuntu? [00:12] Wyleyrabbit: Look up LVM [00:12] I installed openssh-server and sssh [00:12] drizzt_: (told you it was stupid...I gave you fair warning :) [00:12] ssh [00:12] and still not working [00:12] Jordan_U: Oh, I misunderstood that script - what is it exactly you hope this script will tell me [00:13] as it'll be a pita to get onto the machine [00:13] !ssh | PwrSurge [00:13] PwrSurge: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage.

When I try to run it I get "[Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx). \n javaldx failed! \n terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'". How to fix this? [00:14] nimbus: huh? [00:14] is there a software in ubuntu that can reduce the clock speed of pentium 4 processors?? [00:14] 1help - quit picking on idleone he is here to help to [00:14] not as a regular user you don't - i'm confused [00:15] looks like it's installed but not working [00:15] drizzt_: SSH is encrypted and thus better by any standards. [00:15] what's wrong with the screenshot you posted of it as a regular user? [00:15] Hi Guys [00:15] i keep getting klined by rogue freenode opers thinking its funny [00:15] Random832, look at the buttons [00:15] how can i stop this [00:15] I have update my ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4 [00:15] BFP : WICD isn't the best, are you running native drivers or are you ndiswrapped? [00:15] incoq: I already told you #freenode [00:15] Divide is an up arror [00:15] nimbus: can you explain in words what's wrong with them? [00:15] 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 [00:15] as wondering if there was a way to just not have it happen at all [00:15] vlt, is it office from repository? [00:15] PwrSurge: Try: sudo service ssh restart [00:15] subtract is an Agngstom symbol [00:15] PwrSurge, sorry i don'tnknow the answer keep tring sorry [00:15] but every restart I got running low graphics mode [00:15] drizzt_: Yes [00:15] MikeH_: It will tell me a lot of things. What drives /partitions you have, what bootloaders are installed to each of these, is grub installed such that it is looking in the correct partitions for its files, etc. [00:15] incoq: Ask #freenode. [00:15] oh - i wasn't looking at the symbol ones [00:16] And I have to restart the X [00:16] imbmiller: I'm running a set of native drivers. [00:16] drizzt_: Or rather: I think so. How to find out where it came from? [00:16] also try to rename the ooo settings folder [00:16] simps: Sounds like your USB ports don't have enough power. [00:16] nimbus: what font packages do you have installed? [00:16] thanks jpds [00:16] It was the one recommended for my model in the thread I found detailing how to install it. [00:16] could you help me to solve that issue ? [00:16] is there a software in ubuntu that can reduce the clock speed of pentium 4 processors?? [00:16] I think they're an updated version of the driver Asus gives for it. [00:16] MS fonts, mathematica [00:16] nimbus: do youh ave ttf-opentymbol installed? [00:16] Jordan_U: Grub works ok, it just takes half an hour to do it [00:16] opensymbol [00:16] Jordan_U: So that information is surely useless? [00:17] I can *see* my network, but when I try to connect it won't accept my password. [00:17] jpds: ssh: unrecognized service [00:17] BFP: make sure that "wext" is selected under network security or driver page [00:17] tried with sshd [00:17] diogo_79, why? [00:17] drizzt_: Renaming helped. Thanks. Now my settings are gone, right? [00:17] and openssh [00:17] no dice [00:17] yes I have ttf-opensymbol [00:17] vlt, probably [00:17] imbmiller: Where is that? [00:17] BFP: inside WICD [00:17] if u like microsoft go back to it ///// sorry i am not a nice guy i tell it like it is [00:18] Ah, WPA supplicant. [00:18] It is "wext." [00:18] huh [00:18] MikeH_: If it's grub 1.97 beta4 (from karmic), rather than 1.98 from lucid, and you have grub installed to the mbr of a drive different than the one that contains /boot, that would explain the delay. [00:18] I tried inputting the settings manually in some /etc file or other as somebody recommended. Maybe one of them is wrong. [00:18] Jordan_U: I have 1.98 (from 10.4 server) I think, and there is only one drive [00:19] grub is installed on /dev/sda, / is LVM [00:19] BFP: maybe a driver conflict? try teminal "sudo modprobe -l" [00:19] I didn't think so, though, since I didn't change anything but SSID and encryption and the key. [00:19] hey i was wonderin does runescape work on ubuntus [00:19] i was considerin switchin to ubuntu [00:19] and want to play runescape [00:19] PLease, I m iRC newbie [00:19] conk, the best way is to try [00:19] try what [00:19] That gave me a large number of responses. Minus ell, you said?

I had the issue on another machine as well.... [00:19] rashid, would i somehow be able to change that? or is it just that my computer sucks ;o [00:19] conk, RS works fine [00:20] do otehr games work [00:20] iury: with?

[00:24] to answer my earlier scanner question /usr/bin/brsaneconfig2 -a name=Brother model=DCP-310CN ip=192.168.1.18 [00:24] conk, take a look here: http://www.wubi-installer.org/ [00:24] conk, many windows appscan be run in linus but be patient we will help u ok but be patient [00:24] im dlin the iso as we speak [00:24] i think i got hte right one [00:24] After I have uodated the ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4 [00:24] its called Debian version of ubuntu [00:24] i am off to bed [00:24] i think thats the right one [00:24] nite [00:25] facts: I have my clock displaying seconds and it stops moving when my laptop freezes [00:25] sorry I m newbie [00:25] I got the network to appear in Wicd, but it insists I have a bad password. [00:25] conk, Actually, ubuntu is a version of Debian. Debian is not beginner friendly. You should stick with normal Ubuntu [00:25] !newbie [00:25] oh [00:25] i better stop that download then LOL [00:25] what do i need the [00:25] then**** srry for spelling!!! [00:26] conk, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [00:26] conk, ubuntu 9.10 is the best i can recomend [00:26] !noob [00:26] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [00:26] how do I monitor a log file in real time again? [00:26] i forgot the command [00:26] conk, I recommend the newest version 10.04 [00:26] haqha [00:26] which is better?? [00:26] pad&mouse or commend terminal? [00:26] also will my norton antivirus work on ubuntu? [00:27] if i use it thru wine? [00:27] conk: no [00:27] Jordan_U: Last time I had this issue, I was informed there was an issue with some grub2 installs where grub stalled for an indeterminate amount of time [00:27] !virus | conk [00:27] conk: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:27] u don't need antivirus? [00:27] o [00:27] conk, Maybe but you don't need to run anti-virus scanners in linux. It is more secure. [00:27] i feel dumb now [00:27] Jordan_U: As thats on a server that is on 24/7, it isn't so much of an issue. [00:27] conk: don't :) [00:27] nina_, No not really. [00:27] So i let it boot and left it, this machine is a Media Center, and will be on and off all the time [00:27] conk, i recommend this webpage http://wubi-installer.org/ [00:27] nina_, There are some proof of concept viruses but no "real" ones for linux. [00:27] is there anywhere online to get an Ubuntu shell account? [00:27] conk: http://swiss.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1435314 how to get SC2 running in wine [00:27] conk, Check out wubi. [00:28] can someone provide me with the exact command to chroot and mount an existing ubuntu install from a livecd [00:28] Montoko: server not found [00:28] conk, 9.10 i think but that is my perf preferance ok i have been running linux since 1972 unix \\\\\ if u likelinus yes9.10 and ubuntu [00:28] Norton detect Windows viruses anyway. [00:28] conk, Also, check out the #ubuntu-beginners channel [00:28] i know its long and complicated [00:28] I found it [00:28] So even if there were a linux virus norton would not know what it is [00:28] conk, http://www.wubi-installer.org/ [00:28] WINE IS A LAYER [00:28] fructose: I don't think so [00:28] conk: frankly I feel that norton is something every computer user should own no matter what system they run [00:28] ok [00:28] tail -f /var/log/messages [00:28] bsmith093, mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/some/folder [00:28] MikeH_: That issue was very specific, only occuring with karmic, and only when grub's mbr portion was on a different drive than /boot. [00:28] so i install noroton [00:28] thru wine [00:28] bsmith093, chroot /mnt/some/folder [00:28] but [00:28] thats like double [00:28] protection [00:28] conk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:28] right? [00:28] Hm, I edited /etc/network/interfaces, but I still can't connect. [00:29] double the protection power [00:29] TO RUN WINDOWS APPLICATIONS IN UBUNTU.

[00:29] kick conk please [00:29] i cant load this wubi site [00:29] what? [00:29] THANX IDLEONE [00:29] Anyway as to my font issue I feel that reinstalling is the only option. It feels like giving up but I do not know what else to do. [00:29] edbian, than dont ask sorry [00:29] nina_, Partly, but also because linux is fundamentally designed better with file permissions and better user account control. [00:29] drizzt_: ?? [00:29] Murdoc, stop confusing him... conk, you dont need to run a virus scanner in Windows, espeically not under WINE [00:29] hiexpo, Did I? [00:29] oh [00:29] Jordan_U: Ok, I'm going to leave it for this evening and re-download ubuntu (desktop this time) and install without LVM tomorrow, and see what happens. [00:29] yes [00:30] hiexpo, My bad [00:30] im totally new 2 this thx for claering that up [00:30] i thought i was soemthing like mount /dev/proc -o touch /mntubuntu or something along those lines, i just cant remember the exact thing and i know if i screwup i might klill the system [00:30] drizzt_: stop asking for people to be kicked. he is new and does not know the rules of the channel. explain the rules instead. [00:30] Hi, I was installing some updated and I noticed a en_GB addon has been added to my firefox... was that intentional? [00:30] there are no viruses for linux, other than 'proof of concept' ones which nobody has ever seen in the wild. There are unlikely to evcer be any viruses for Linux either, as long as people stick to package management and don't install random crap from random websites like in windows [00:30] Monotoko: are you suggesting he go about using a computer without virus protection [00:30] IdleOne, he's blatantly trolling [00:30] Murdoc, on linux, yes i am [00:30] what [00:30] that's fraudulent advice === Goldfisch_ is now known as Goldfisch [00:30] !virus\ [00:30] Murdoc, no it is not [00:30] Jordan_U: Thanks for your help anyway [00:30] zcat[1], Well said!

I just don't worry because there's NO VIRUSES [00:33] but viruses exist on all computer types and distributions on the computer internet [00:33] I am looking for an ubuntu channel to get some ppa build advice [00:33] zcat[1], there was a virus in desktop theme some months ago [00:33] my brotehr just told me that ubuntu is mostly command line [00:33] Murdoc: no they don't [00:33] i thought it wasnt [00:33] hiexpo: and acerimmer: did you read what was wrong with it [00:33] is there a way 2 make it more point and click when i get in [00:33] conk: your brother was misinformed [00:33] It's just a total non-issue [00:34] not sure to be at the right place :) [00:34] idk he works in it [00:34] peppermint_, no what ?

Their number is so low and open source gets updated so quickly that viruses seem like nothing.

[00:35] im just askin questions no need to jump down my throat [00:35] and freak out [00:35] zcat[1]: If you want an OS without viruses run OpenBSD. Ubuntu DOES have viruses. [00:35] I can't believe Ubuntu devs do not check their servers [00:35] peppermint_: are you getting that on download then? [00:35] conk: i'm not sure what kind of freedom you're looking for, but your games will run best on the system they were designed for. linux will probably not deliver the consumer experience you seem to seek. [00:35] conk: I said your brother was misinformed, not a liar. here is some free IRC advice relax and stop assuming you know what peoples intentions are [00:35] peppermint_, you know its hard 4 us to look at that when not found [00:35] Ok I found a solution for my wifi card for 9.10, but I'm not sure which packages to install for 10.04.

[01:05] 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 [01:05] as wondering if there was a way to just not have it happen at all [01:05] what is the linux scripting language known as? [01:06] wisey, bash usually [01:06] wisey, shell scripting [01:06] sh? bash? perl? python? Could you be more specific, wisey? [01:06] i think hes talking terminal shell scripting [01:06] simps, ls |wlan0 [01:06] python [01:06] I'd usually say sh, that's shellscript. [01:06] oops [01:07] well, maya's scripting language is called MEL and the entire artists interface is written in MEL. I was wondering if linux worked the same way? [01:07] ls | wlan0 [01:07] hello [01:07] marty [01:07] oh wait [01:07] hiexpo, uh wlan0: command not found [01:08] Anyways though, I won't ask that whole long question again, but if anyone can help, my whole "unresponsive desktop over in TTY 7" deal is a bit urgent? [01:08] ls | wlan [01:08] basically just thinking about the difference between a programming language and a scripting language [01:09] hiexpo: What are you trying to do? piping ls to 'wlan', which isn't a command, doesn't make any sense. [01:09] hiexpo, No command 'wlan' found, did you mean: [01:09] Command 'plan' from package 'plan' (universe) [01:09] java javascript [01:09] ls | rth0 [01:09] wisey, most ubuntu gui apps use python, so you can be sure it present [01:09] wisey: Umm, most of 'linux' (I'm assuming you mean the whole operating system) is written in C. C programs are compiled into machine code an executed on their own. [01:09] vb vbscrpt [01:09] hello [01:09] ls | eth0 [01:09] Does that clear anything up wisey?

[01:11] aahha [01:11] !anyone | Cinnamon [01:11] Cinnamon: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:11] simps, find an OS whi9ch support your hardware [01:12] drizzt_, how do i do that? [01:12] <[clay]> dumb question - i've got several boot options when i boot into 9.04, but none of them automatically boots after a period of time - how do I select a default one? I don't have a /boot/grub/menu.lst :( [01:12] Does anyone want to help me with a gpu driver install [01:12] jacob_, your sudo password = your user password [01:12] simps, see which drivers are available for your adapter directly from OEM [01:12] You'll need the dev-packages to complile, and the other-ones to run the compiled program. [01:12] !ask | Cinnamon [01:12] Cinnamon: 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. :-) [01:12] [clay]: is grub your bootloader [01:12] <[clay]> uh, pretty sure [01:12] <[clay]> :) [01:13] [clay]: what version of ubuntu? [01:13] Hi, my computer was suspended, and I turned it back on and it was showing my screensaver because it was locked, all normal. But now all I can see there is my unresponsive mouse cursor on a black screen. So I'm here on TTY 2 asking you. Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome. [01:13] floogy: thanks... now, where can I fint what do every one of those packages contain? [01:13] <[clay]> 9.04 [01:13] drizzt_, i'm pretty noob. how do i do that? :x [01:13] why people always have prorblems with wireless and video? since 2008 lol [01:13] marty, I know you can code an interface in a programming language because i've done it but I was wondering if os's and engines were mainly written in a scripting language that was derived from the engine which might be written using a programming language. [01:13] floogy: and protobuffers 2.3 :) [01:13] [clay]: so you should still be running grub "legacy" and need to edit that [01:13] I have font problems just to be different! [01:13] drizzt_: actually, those problems are as old as Linux; in fact, it just has gotten better [01:13] we don't have probs with wireless [01:14] wisey, nope, all binaries written in C and built with gcc [01:14] does 10.04 have better support then 9.04 [01:14] ehhhh lost [01:14] its all pixels at the end of the day but i'm trying to get my head around what people have said in lectures [01:14] marty: Did you Un Lock it? [01:14] [clay]: try this http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/ [01:14] i dunno ;( wireless problems suck [01:14] APA format http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ [01:14] yes they do [01:14] it doesnt seem like a wireless problem though. just a usb one? [01:15] Cinnamon, best distro for ubuntu i think is 9..10 \ [01:15] wisey: I'm not sure if this is the right place ot be asking that. In any case, it would (in my opinion, anyway) be a bit odd to write the whole OS (kernel, libraries etc.) in scripting languages. Compiled, low-level languages like C tend to run quicker on many systems and have better memory controls. [01:15] IdleOne, there is a wireless-lucid-generic, just not the other one. [01:15] dpkg -L [01:15] Vigo: No, the whole GUI is frozen. [01:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8627043&postcount=5 which packages in Lucid would be equal to the ones they say to install here, I can find the wireless one but not the other one. [01:15] !gui [01:15] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [01:16] marty: Ok, looking now..... [01:16] ok thanks hiexpo [01:16] <[clay]> acerimmer_, i do have a grub.cfg [01:16] If I want raid and LVM, do I do a software raid and then put LVM partitions on it, or is there "raid lvm" partitions that are specific to LVM? [01:16] marty, a shell script is still a script though right. [01:17] I've a quick question regarding the filesystem? [01:17] [clay]: so you have grub legacy. instructions to mod are in the tutorial i sent you [01:17] Cinnamon, no pron trust me i have been linux 30 years [01:17] acerimmer_: grub.cfg is grub2 [01:17] really [01:17] Xubuntu_newb15, just ask [01:17] so can u help me get my computer set up [01:17] lol linux is only 19 [01:17] many she invented Linux [01:17] may be [01:18] wisey: Yes, shell scripts are scripts in the traditional sense. [01:18] unix is is 1972 [01:18] [clay]: Are you sure that you're using Ubuntu 9.04 and not 9.10 or 10.04? [01:18] Jordan_U: *darnit* u right as uz [01:18] <[clay]> 99% sure heh [01:18] [clay]: you've got grub2 and need to use the instructions for that [01:18] !grub2>[clay] [01:18] [clay], please see my private message [01:18] Hi all! Anybody got a pizza timer; something to let me know when "33 or free" kicks in? [01:18] Sorry, since I'm used to windows (please no flames :P) and on windows, if I want some space on storage, I'd just make a folder on C:, e.g C:/MyStuff, for storage. Is there any equivalency of this in Xubuntu? Can I simply put a new folder in the (/) directory or will it mess things up? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [01:19] linux was built on unix don' be a wise guy i will call u on it [01:19] Xubuntu_newb15, You do exactly the same thing, except you put the folders in /home/[user]. [01:19] marty: Wowies, I found a page on the forums, you want it? [01:19] Xubuntu_newb15, just create /public folder and store stuff there [01:20] marty, so the name of the scripting language in the case of shell scripts is shell [01:20] Linux was not build on Unix, are you mad? [01:20] it seems I need protobuf2.3... where can I search for PPAs? [01:20] Hm,so I shouldn't ever add stuff in the root directory of (/)? [01:20] Vigo, umm, I guess so. I'm stuck in IRSSI right now, and by 'stuck' I mean that a URl would be much help, I'm afraid :( [01:20] windows is much easier the Linux [01:21] goto launchpad.net [01:21] got it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [01:21] Xubuntu_newb15, it's not comfortable due to restrictive permissions everywhere [01:21] Cinnamon, thats an opinion [01:21] Xubuntu_newb15, In general, no. You should leave the root folder alone. There are specific folders for stuff like that. [01:21] [clay]: let's find the ubuntu version: go to a terminal and type lsb_release -a [01:21] <[clay]> 9.10 [01:21] marty: Yeah, is what I figured, let me think a moment,,,, [01:21] I have much more difficulty with windows, Cinnamon. [01:21] [clay]: then it's grub2 for sure. [01:21] Nobody has any ideas what might cause this? My fonts in gnome-appearance are all Sans http://dl.dropbox.com/u/525416/Screenshot-cirruslyceltic.png [01:21] All right. I've also used Fedora before, and I notice that it has a root account, while Xubuntu does not. I was told that one should NEVER log into the root account? [01:21] !grub2>[clay] [01:22] <[clay]> did i say 9.04? i'm losing my mind lol [01:22] i gess [01:22] marty: Do you have Metacity running? [01:22] It'd probably be bash, wisey, the bourne-again shell, or simply sh. If you actually want to make an application or something I'd use Python as a scripting language. [01:22] Yes Vigo [01:22] Xubuntu_newb15, It's ok to use root to do things only root can do. Such as install software. Ubuntu uses sudo which is a sort of like faking it. [01:22] search in the launchpad.net for PPAs [01:22] <[clay]> welp, i ran grub-update and it rebooted fine [01:22] <[clay]> thanks for the help hah [01:22] Xubuntu_newb15, you may have root on like in Debian [01:23] Back in Ubuntu 7.04 it wasn't that hard to coax ubuntu into letting one log into root. [01:23] Hi. I'm trying to keep my clock syncronised. I press 'install NTP support' but it doesn't actually happen, the pop-up just reappears. Any ideas as to why? [01:23] Root still exists on ubuntu (it has to) but it's much more difficult to log into it. not that there's any reason to do so. [01:23] i keep geting errors [01:23] Xubuntu_newb15, When people say you shouldn't "log in" as root they are referring to logging in as if you're just sitting down to use the computer. If you're just going to type or paper, or make a spread sheet, or browse the web and you don't need to be root you shouldn't be root. [01:23] Xubuntu_newb15, Make sense? [01:23] Yeah, I've experienced that with apt-get. Sudo is required for that command on Ubuntu right? [01:23] linux was built on unix don' be a wise guy i will call u on it? [01:23] marty: Is mouse working? [01:24] Yes, thank you edbian [01:24] Did you find any protobuf PPAs? [01:24] Xubuntu_newb15, Yes. because that is package management and only root can do that sort of thing. Although I think there are some things you can do with apt-get that don't require root access. (i.e. in aptitude you can "show" without being root) [01:25] Vigo Oh, hmm, I just killed a process, some sort of screensaver thing, when I was looking at my processes. The problem seems to have fixed itself. [01:25] marty, should you make a clear distiction between a scripting language and a programming language, because I've heard of python being mentioned as both? [01:25] Thanks for the help though Vigo! [01:25] Xubuntu_newb15, root is used for doing things that affect every user on the system. Normally you don't use such an account so that if you make a mistake, it limits the damage. [01:25] which mode bit i should set so the files inherit group from parent folder? [01:25] marty: Glad I could be of some assistance, I guess, come back when you are in GUI. ok? [01:25] i yep geting an error saying " E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open [01:25] keep* [01:26] floogy: no :S [01:26] I didn't mean to mention it that way wisey. I mean "If you want to use some sort of scripting language on Linux, I'd recommend Python." [01:26] Root is god. if you are root, and make a mistake... Think of the damage a god can do. [01:26] Sure thing Vigo [01:26] Cinnamon, do you have another package manager open? [01:26] marty, ive been looking at MEL and it reminded me of a shell script so I thought I'd ask [01:26] anybody wanna be my noob linux partner, [01:27] i have vlc and jack, playing a movie. the video keeps going, but after some minutes the audio drops [01:27] Hi all! Anybody got a pizza timer; something to let me know when "33 or free" kicks in? [01:27] on the top tool bar the arrow is gray [01:27] dsnyders: what the hell? === hsa2|gone is now known as hsa2 [01:27] It configures well here http://paste.pocoo.org/show/221248/ [01:27] Cinnamon, are you running it with sudo? (you should be) did you kill another instance? (it won't release the lock if it was killed early) is there another instance open? [01:27] dsnyders: Cairo Clock [01:27] when you save a file in /tmp, is it stored in RAM? if not, is there a way you can save a file in RAM? [01:28] when did 10.04 ccome out [01:28] i dont know [01:28] Andrew12, hey :D [01:28] :O Mrcheesenips [01:28] april 29th 2010 [01:28] bricky 10.04 [01:28] Andrew12, Open a text document, type anything at all, don't save it.

[01:28] Andrew12, Minimize it and restore it, what the ram at work [01:28] i realy have no idea what im doing [01:28] That's what the 4 means === hsa2 is now known as hsa2|gone [01:28] swordz: sweet [01:29] s/what/watch [01:29] floogy: no, I'm trying to find a package for it [01:29] bricky: Have you spent a few daze looking at the Forums and Official Documentation? [01:29] floogy: so that I don't have to compile it myself; I might have to give up, though [01:29] edbian.. I mean litterally. I'm asking because I have a script that clears and writes to a file every second, and I don't want my HDD to die [01:30] by "in RAM" I mean in a file accessable by other programs [01:30] floogy: it seems that somewhere was accepted in debian, if I can ge hold of that deb... http://osdir.com/ml/debian-devel-changes/2010-05/msg02162.html [01:30] bricky: And yes, I am and always will be learning this stuff which is the FUN! every 12 months we are all newbs again. [01:30] why ubuntu has no 'users' group? [01:30] marty, what is the difference between a programming language and a scripting language? [01:30] Vigo, That tells the time. I want a count down timer: [click]32:59, 32:58... 0:03, 0:02, 0:01, FREE PIZZA! [01:30] should i restart my computer [01:31] Andrew12, Well first off, your HDD is very good at multiple writes / reads and won't get warn out unless it's a solid state drive. To actually talk about what's stored in memory you need a programming language that is lower level that the bash shell. Something like C would be good. [01:31] dsnyders: Egg Timer [01:31] Python. [01:31] Andrew12, I don't think the OS will let 1 program access the RAM allocated to another program at the same time. That's like, a massive security flaw. [01:31] RAMDISKs are awesome. [01:31] Vigo: yeah ive looked at it a little I am looking up and writing down :P [01:31] edbian, /dev/shm lol [01:31] kiaas: that's exactly what I'm asking [01:32] Andrew12, I don't know if python lets you talk about memory that low level. In C you can literally say things like "at this address store this thing" [01:32] drizzt_, I don't get it ? [01:32] I'm just asking if ubuntu has any default RAMdisks [01:32] drizzt_: is it /dev/shm? [01:32] Andrew12, For the record I love python [01:32] lol [01:32] kiaas, What's a ram disk? [01:33] edbian: df | grep shm [01:33] that's your ramdisk [01:33] edbian, a portion of RAM allocated as storage, it acts like a Harddrive...but it very fast and doesn't remain after reboot [01:33] Andrew12: mount -t ramfs /place/to/mount/to [01:33] none 249M 0 249M 0% /dev/shm [01:33] is there a way for me to get this .deb file http://packages.debian.org/source/unstable/protobuf [01:33] apt-cache show libprotobuf-java |grep Version [01:33] Andrew12, is it for cryptography purposes?

[01:33] what is sudo [01:33] kiaas, I see [01:34] Cinnamon: allows you to run commands as root [01:34] !sudo | Cinnamon [01:34] Cinnamon: 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 [01:34] that too [01:34] !sudo | Cinnamon [01:34] Andrew12, Cool! I never knew about that!

[01:37] Cinnamon, an upgrade is not going to "mess up" your PC [01:37] Scripting languages are executed on run time, but some CAN be compiled [01:37] what Samual_ said [01:37] It might screw something up on the HD, but its not going to do anymore than that [01:37] and some scripting languages like perl are actually compiled at runtime [01:37] wisey, via wikipedia: A scripting language, script language or extension language is a programming language that allows control of one or more software applications.

[01:38] edbian, ye i was just checking wikipedia [01:38] were is the repair thing [01:38] yep [01:39] forums are useless [01:39] drizzt_, I stronlgy disagree [01:39] you never get an answer there [01:39] gubuntu === Samual_ is now known as Samual [01:40] i cant do any updates or installs [01:40] i smell troll [01:41] no troll [01:41] bastidrazor, no, that's ogre [01:41] anyone know of any packages that would allow me to see what files in /usr and /etc and /var are not in any packages? [01:41] who me [01:41] edbian, wikipedia says that Maya's core is written in c++ but I know from experience that you can interface with maya through a scripting language called MEL and the Pythong programming language. [01:41] bastidrazor, i believe it's in standard... or is it not? [01:41] Are there any tools that let you forward a upnp port that you input? [01:41] drizzt_: what are you talking about? [01:41] Cinnamon, You're not trolling ;) Can you sudo aptitude dist-upgrade ??? [01:41] wisey, so? the core is still in c++ [01:41] bastidrazor, users group with gid 500 [01:42] wisey, Neat [01:42] edbian, no [01:42] drizzt_: okay, and what are you trying to do? [01:42] Cinnamon, What does it say? [01:42] how would you forward ANY upnp port to a router? [01:42] what the error [01:43] edbian, does compiling the core of maya stop end users from seeing the source code? [01:43] is it binary? [01:43] wisey, Yes. [01:43] wisey, yes again [01:43] What ccsm window class does gksu fall in? [01:43] wisey, but that binary will only run on computer of your same architecture and operating system [01:43] wisey, Unless of course you give them the source code ;) [01:43] harjot: http://portforward.com/ tells all [01:44] wisey, you *are* aware that they don't give you the source code? so, in effect, the program is encrypted? [01:44] Cinnamon: I was looking for the Repair option, I think it is hold left Shift at boot, select Repair, You may need a LiveCD to repair it. [01:45] edbian, it says " E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open " [01:45] Cinnamon, You have a package manager open somewhere. Check out ps -e [01:45] Did you get it? [01:45] edbian, so if it was open source, you'd be giving users access to the code base through different means than the off the shelf package? [01:45] floogy: using debian packages in ubuntu may break things [01:45] wisey, Yes [01:45] edbian, ok [01:45] Hey, I've got a strange problem. My G, H and backspace key has stopped working. Everything else works great. :s [01:46] wisey, It is open source because you make the source code freely available in some way [01:46] I thought he uses debian [01:46] like a visual c++ project directory with all the source files contained [01:46] I made suggestions fpr packages in ubuntu as well. [01:46] floogy: not sure why he is in here looking for help then. [01:47] wisey, Is that a question? [01:47] Are there any apps similar to what Conduit does, but actually works. I mean some way to copy files from one machine to another on the local network? I have an external drive but this would be convenient to have. [01:47] there is something that says a packer manager is working [01:48] floogy: it seems that somewhere was accepted in debian [01:48] Well, I misunderstood him, becaus I read too fast [01:49] So far everything is working properly on my new computer with the Ubuntu 10 (thanks in part to you guys) cept that when I watch a show on hulu my screen locks up and my desktop glitches asking if I want to delete an icon from my workspace? weird, any suggestions? thanks [01:49] Hello linux users! === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [01:49] im done i give up [01:51] er [01:51] Do anyboda know if xubuntu can make 76Hz on LCD monnitor?

So this is perfectly normal then? [02:10] ramesh7a77u: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts <: fonts [02:10] * blendmaster1024 wants to find all files new and modified in /usr since install of the package. anyone recommend a way to do this? [02:10] mdg_, what do you mean by a broken package? [02:10] mdg_: try aptitude its good. [02:10] LinuxGuy2009: the speed most likely depends on the network hardware. if your hardware is 10Mbps, then 2MB is actually fast [02:11] jimqode: I got a error message from update manager to "fix broken packages" [02:11] tsrk: Hmm I have no idea what it is. hehe [02:11] LinuxGuy2009: there could also be an issue with your network that's causing a bottleneck [02:11] apt-get -f [02:11] LinuxGuy2009: the speed of your network cards, router, etc [02:11] and do distro upgrades *ever* touch /home or /root ? [02:11] I tried to do t in synaptic, but I still get the error [02:11] un214: thanks will try that [02:11] mdg_, apt-get -f install [02:12] mdg_, sorry.. apt-get install -f [02:12] jimqode: install??

[02:13] pdfnup is a program which allows PDF files to be "n-upped" in roughly the way that psnup does for PostScript files, i.e. multiple pages [02:13] can be put together on one physical page at a reduced size. It depends on a working installation of (pdf)LaTeX. [02:13] !spam | floogy [02:13] Boooooooooom! [02:13] tsrk: Think I might use my external HDD for this transfer. 60GB is gonna take like forever. But for a few files it will be nice to set the folders to shared. [02:13] my printer is DELL p513w [02:13] just try it from a system that has no desktop environment installed yet [02:14] gutenprint or turboprint? no drivers [02:14] un214: I f that is the case, report a bug.

[02:14] you want to print multiple pages on one page to safe paper, yes? -> pdfnup [02:15] Got a question about shell scripting.. If I'm passing the script a variable in windows, I use %1, what do I use to indicate the variable in ubuntu (bash shell I think) [02:15] ??

[02:17] jimqode: eh? [02:17] a puzzle: i'm testing out a new label printer and it works swimmingly if i print directly from glabels. if i print to a file, be it pdf, ps or svg, and print that, i can't stop getting the printer to pull too much label from the roll [02:17] http://www.linuxfoundation.org/search/node/p513w [02:17] Walzmyn, sorry wrong name on autocomplete :) [02:17] mdg_: apt-get -f install [02:17] sorry === helf_ is now known as helf|laptop [02:18] It might be a so called 'paperweight' [02:18] mdg_: although I had a case where glibc would refuse to install in its pre-unpack case that the most powerful --force wouldn't clear [02:18] I don't know [02:19] un214: I get "0 upgraded, 0 newely installed, 0 to remove and 14 not upgraded" [02:19] ok got that updated.. now I got this 'menu' I made in nautilus, how do I activate it?

[02:24] Can I use ubuntu like I did Winodws 7 + Media Center? I want to connect with my xbox to watch recorded TV [02:25] atan: there are media server apps to do most of that stuff, like freenas [02:25] atan, Check out mythtv [02:25] k =) [02:25] mythbuntu e.g. [02:26] mythbuntu is nice too, if you have a tuner [02:26] I do have a tuner ^_^ [02:26] mythdora also [02:26] [that was a joke..] [02:27] how do i disable "tap to click" on my netbook's trackpad? [02:27] hi guys , question: how to switch full screen windows to windows [02:27] let say i play game in full screen [02:27] WareWolf2000, I suppose there's a mythbian, mythuse, and mythentoo as well?

[02:31] 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 [02:31] as wondering if there was a way to just not have it happen at all [02:32] anyone know how to redirect an SSH session? I have a telnet-only client and an ssh-only server. How do I connect them? === ericm-Zzz is now known as ericm [02:33] Install a ssh client or putty [02:33] does anybody know where i can find the drivers for an ATI Radeon X1250 graphics card for 10.04LTS [02:34] floogy: No, that wasn't my question [02:34] how do i add /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin to my path? [02:34] telnet doesn't handle encrypted ssh session as far as I know [02:35] floogy: exactly, that's why it's a problem [02:35] oh this is frustrating.. I got this menu that I can't get nautilus to actually use 8*( [02:36] fructose, you can't connect them. Either both ends need to be ssh, or both ends need to be telnet. ssh is better as everything is encrypted. [02:36] 文革 [02:36] dsnyders: it's definitely not impossible [02:37] fructose, how do you do it then? [02:38] Is this a quiz? [02:38] dsnyders: you're not helping === brenden1 is now known as BrendenB === BrendenB is now known as Guest84216 [02:40] You'll might do it using an intermediate server that redirects one termial to the other [02:40] Hi, am having a disconnect issue when connecting to my modem. [02:40] floogy: yes, but I'm hoping to not have to write that server myself [02:40] Could some one help me on how to solve this issue? [02:40] fructose, perhaps I'm not understanding the problem. [02:40] fructose, use netcat on both sides using aa precompiled binary. Problem solved [02:41] pure_hate: I can't use netcat on the server side [02:41] fructose, or use a backdoor that excecutes in memory [02:41] Sorry about that a moment ago, oddly, my Windows programs froze. [02:41] heh. [02:41] fructose, if you have ssh you can do a lot [02:41] pure_hate: sorry, didn't realize you were being true to your name [02:42] wow [02:42] okay [02:42] * pure_hate bows out of the converstaion [02:42] I want to install ubuntu but will I have the same level of control for printing things? [02:42] Like, with Photoshop running through Wine? [02:43] :S [02:43] How can you set a default media player for certain file types via command line? [02:44] anybody know where i can find drivers for an ATI Radeon X1250 Graphics card that works with 10.04 [02:44] gluonman, Each media player will have a .config file of some sort. You will have to set defaults in those [02:44] guonman: I just right-click a file, and choose properties, it lets you pick the launcher.. [02:44] pure_hate, kk [02:46] gmonnie, i think there is a way that you can have it scan your drivers and update [02:46] them [02:46] system, administration, hardware drivers [02:47] pretty sure that should work [02:47] Alright, so I downloaded Ubuntu Studio 10.04 from the official torrent, and burned it to a disk. I put the disk into my computer and i set to boot from it, but it doesn't boot, and goes straight to a normal boot. What? Lol. [02:47] thanks ill give it a go [02:48] np [02:48] how to open a windows with admin show hidden file [02:48] says none available, so i dont guess that's my issue lol [02:49] anyone? [02:49] :/ [02:49] I don't know then [02:49] how to open a windows explore to show hidden file [02:49] Mayby you should ask some more experianced people, i'm a noob with ubuntu right now [02:49] i used to do it, i forgot now [02:49] I am trying to sync two videos running on two computers with some bash scripting. mplayer sometimes has a subsecond freeze when you seek to a distant location. Will a rt kernel fix that? [02:50] ok, well its being a pain in the ass lol [02:51] hey someone awake ?? === Chazz is now known as Guest54941 [02:51] thunar has extenstions menu for archives, and plugins for them.. so I'm gonna try that instead of nautilus [02:51] ZZZzz,,, [02:51] has a question but my english too bad [02:51] Yes [02:51] hey im trying to save office 2007 documents how do i do it [02:52] Ask and see who can answer MetalStormy [02:52] noob qquestion [02:52] I thought Open Office can read/write office Docs jvizzle [02:52] OpenSolaris ist Linux, too. Can i that install all what i can install under ubuntu ? [02:52] thx [02:52] MetalStormy: Open Solaris is NOT linux. [02:52] no UNIX ?? [02:52] dr_willis when i save them it sometimes fucks the spacing up and my butt hurt teachers fuck with me [02:53] MetalStormy: its a totally differant operating system based on Solaris - Linux is Not UNIX . linux is Unix-like. [02:53] !language | jvizzle [02:53] jvizzle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:53] Gnu not Unix :-P [02:53] cmon guys im sorry that i cussed but please. [02:53] jvizzle: check the openoffice channel or forums - perhaps they know of some bug/issue/work around. [02:53] jvizzle: Please don't cuss. [02:53] idlone: i love you [02:54] idleone: i mean no harm i love the ubuntu [02:54] okay thx but open solaris is opensource i think to know, but have i there the same like ubuntu that i can install free software on this plattform? [02:54] !manual | MetalStormy [02:54] MetalStormy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:54] it is from SUN microsystem [02:54] jvizzle: if you did you would know I don't like cussing and neither does Ubuntu. BTW #oo.o does not like it either [02:54] manual means with konsole help [02:54] MetalStormy: you can install 100000's of things on linux. Linux is under the GPL license.. so its opensourced also [02:55] MetalStormy: im pretty sure OpenSolaris isn't linux...it's solaris [02:55] Yeah [02:55] damn [02:55] MetalStormy: Youmay want tor read the Ubuntu 'manual' at the url just given to start learning Ubuntu Basics. YOu have a lot of terms confused. [02:55] MetalStormy: and yes, you can compile free software to run on it. why not? there are package managers for solaris like pkg-get, but this really isnt on topic for here [02:55] MetalStormy: theres very few things that OpenSolaris does that Linux cant do. [02:55] idleone: i appologize please relax love is in the air..... i was trying to get some help for school my mouth was made dirty by the service that protects the United States of America. [02:56] Dr_Willis: oh i thought the question was the other way around. [02:56] maco: was it? :) perhaps i missread. [02:56] yeah opensolaris for developers i have hear. [02:56] jvizzle: ok. stop trying to kiss up to me it won't work and is annoying + offtopic. [02:56] Dr_Willis: i was reading as "ubuntu has all this stuff. if i use opensolaris will i still get these features?" [02:56] and the basics of ubuntu, for that i use ubuntuusers.de [02:57] idleone: can you answer my question?\ === 17SAATFWV is now known as acerimmer [02:57] hello, anyone know why i can only place audio as root, even though i'm in the 'audio' group as my user? [02:57] alsa... btw [02:57] MetalStormy: theres a few features in Opensolaris thats not in linux. If you want to develop in linux.. well.. use linux. === Jay is now known as Guest69955 [02:57] but the terminal commands differnt as linux then is that right, or if i can work with ubuntu,then i can work on solaris with the same knownledge,too ?? [02:58] jvizzle: Dr_Willis did he suggested you ask the openoffice channel [02:58] MetalStormy: actually the terminal commands should be 90% the same [02:58] <_Brun0_> in nautilus, is there a way to show current path as text? [02:58] MetalStormy: since both can use the same core tools/commands of 'unix' [02:58] yes okay, at time i want only information me, for my private knownledge [02:58] idleone: you say ask the channel but you don't help me with the direction? #openoffice? [02:58] okay thx that i want known [02:58] anyone has used habak ? i'm trying to get "multi-layered backgrounds" to work, i.e. a collation of 3 images, but looks like, it only draws 1 layer. :\ also i can't get -mc to work [02:59] jvizzle: I belive it is #oo.o [02:59] MetalStormy: some will be the same, some will be different. and itll depend on whether the solaris admin installed the gnu tools on solaris. for example, gnu's "sed" has -i, while solaris's does not. why are you asking this here instead of in a solaris channel anyway? [02:59] or #Q_Q? [02:59] _Brun0_: ctrl+L [02:59] /join #openoffice.org [02:59] <_Brun0_> maco, ty! [03:00] where is a solaris channel? and i asked here because in german channel every are at sleeping [03:00] everybody, sry [03:00] MetalStormy: /msg alis list *solaris* will help probably. [03:00] i have a bad english [03:00] okay thx [03:00] does anybody know how to get the avast antivirus to work in ubuntu? [03:01] so much in german channel everybody will sleep or ? [03:01] it's 4am in Germany, so most people will be asleep [03:02] 4am and 2 minutes ^^ [03:02] so nobody knows how to get Avast anti-virus to work in Ubuntu? [03:03] what a clock is in USA yet [03:03] !virus | mek8630 [03:03] mek8630: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [03:03] how do I get rid of "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required" [03:03] MetalStormy: what? [03:03] osmosis: sudo apt-get autoremove [03:03] someone knows hoe to stream american tv on ubuntu 10.04? [03:03] osmosis: sudo apt-get autoclean [03:03] what time is in usa yet? [03:03] MetalStormy: 10pm in the east, 7pm in the west === eli_ is now known as Dotblank-2 [03:04] MetalStormy: find a station that puts their streams online would be the way. i know cspan is online and not geo-IP locked [03:04] * jrib wonder if hawaii is east or west [03:04] jrib: extra-west [03:04] 3 hours different between east and west [03:04] MetalStormy: it is illegal for you to watch American tv from outside the USA so we can not help you with that and it is 22:04 Eastern Standard Time [03:04] ubottu: so I don't need to use any firewall or anti-virus? [03:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:04] In 10.04 it seems my nautilus options for encrypt and sign are missing. Is there any way to get that back? [03:04] mek8630: not normally, no [03:04] cspan ?? find i that on google ? [03:05] MetalStormy: cspan.com i think [03:05] This is sorta UNR [03:05] why it is illegal in german tv we have cnn [03:05] okay thx i look at that [03:05] why it is illegal, in german tv we have cnn [03:06] tsimpson: well I am not worried about transmitting a virus to windows because I have anti-viruses on those but I am wondering is there any circumstances where I might have to worry about viruses or other malware with Linux ? [03:06] MetalStormy: it has to do with copyright laws and all that legal stuff. [03:07] MetalStormy: that'd be CNN International ;-) [03:07] tsimpson: the reason I ask is because you said normally. [03:07] i dont know why, i like to see, i look favorite us tv as german [03:07] mhm [03:07] damn [03:07] mek8630: only if you install random things off the internet, which you will probably never need to do as we have a package manage with trusted packages [03:07] i like fox morning tv [03:08] Im in lucid and the encrypt and sign options are removed from right clicking files. Is this normal or a change and is there anyway to get the options back? [03:08] and fox LA [03:08] and the us consumer informations [03:08] MetalStormy: i suspect they block non-US internet people, but you can try fox.com [03:08] tsimpson: do you know much about video converting and dvd playback and burning? [03:08] they block ip ?? [03:09] then i need an proxy in us [03:09] tsimpson: the reason I ask is because I cannot figure out how to get mine to work and I have even downloaded that restriction thing to unlock it. [03:09] so thunar has a 'extract to...' shell extension.. would it be so friggin hard to put that into nautilus?? omg these people are dumb.. we don't want to go into 'archive manager' we just want to unrar the file, and all 20 of the other files .. and let it know where the files should go.. [03:09] i bought from usa server hoster, will tv then run ?? [03:11] mek8630: mine just works, I remember following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#DVD a while ago to get it going [03:11] WareWolf2000: as is usually the case, patches are always welcomed... [03:12] someone knows a channel for chat with usa people ?? [03:12] tsimpson: hmm see I followed all those steps and still mine doesn't work to convert or to burn or to playback. I am not sure what else to do, besides maybe reinstalling all those things again I suppose. [03:12] for talk about everything ?? [03:13] I got a q. for all the ubuntu ppl's.. pc is a pentium 4 HT 3.6GHz (old single core, with hyperthreading).. is just 1gb ram I think.. anyways, I have onboard video now, what is minimum card I can get to watch HD video's (mostly .mkv files in h.264 codec..)? The system has a pci-e 1x, 3pci, 1 pci-e 16x.. [03:14] How can I configure the buttons on my wacom tablet? I've lost scroll wheel functionality since upgrading to the latest version [03:15] fox.com blocked me, [03:15] i need usa ip ;( [03:15] MetalStormy: I already told you that we can't help with that [03:15] hooray for localization [03:15] yes i know [03:16] but in future i will work that [03:16] for USA IP, use a USA proxy server [03:16] yes i know, but where i find [03:16] IdleOne: isn't satelite available for usa tv out of usa, and legally? like dish network or someone like that would offer it for $.. [03:16] and where i find one which is running [03:16] not illegal, just not free license [03:17] is that illegal if i use a proxy, to use that? [03:17] yes [03:17] MetalStormy: ask a lawyer for legal advice [03:18] ohh iam sorry MR president but what musst be run, musst be run [03:18] Please do not suggest using proxy to circumvent USA laws or laws of any country for that matter. Thank you [03:18] what is lawyer ?? [03:18] and whats advice? [03:18] MetalStormy: if you act american while downloading it is ok [03:18] MetalStormy: this channel is for ubuntu support, not finding proxies [03:19] yes okay [03:19] My Windows Domain Controller got corrupted and had to be rebuilt. Since I had already had my ubuntu box joined to that domain, I just 'net ads join'ed to the new domain. Everything seems to be working except that anytime I try to use sudo, it hangs for 3-4 minutes before sudo asks me for my password. Then it hangs another 1-2 minutes to actually complete the command [03:20] i never know about the laws in usa, but i doesnt live there, if you know what i mean [03:21] MetalStormy: every major political crisis over the past 2 years has revealed the populace twittering and ytubing via foreign proxy services. You strike me as a clever person who can research such solutions without undue effort. [03:21] sry my english not perfect [03:22] but twitter i know but i dont use it [03:22] i dont understand everything, what is talking [03:22] Curious what could be causeing an usb wifi dongle to load up and then say "addrconf(netdev_up): wlan0: link is not ready ?

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 [03:36] as wondering if there was a way to just not have it happen at all [03:37] hi yall [03:37] well #javascript sure is lively haha [03:38] simps, sounds like a hardware problem to me === ruffleS is now known as ruff|BRB [03:38] how yall doing?

[03:45] phong_, your home directory will stay as it is, but it is a good idea to back it up anyway if something goes wrong. your installed applications will automatically be updated to latest versions if you installed them through synaptic or add/remove software. [03:45] how do you run jockey? [03:45] ok [03:45] I don't see it in my apps or anything but it's installed...

Does any body have any information in which file this entries are being stored so that I can replace those file ... and can apply those changes at my friends computer thanks in advance [03:58] tristan3199: wubi installations are not as stable as dual boot. wubi fakes windows into thinking that ubuntu is a windows app. BUT, defrag and all other windows faults are then applied to your ubuntu. [03:58] goomba54: SPM is under Administration menu [03:58] synaptic [03:58] u dont need app for that [03:58] tristan3199: easiest fix is to delete then reinstall your wubi and make sure you give it sufficent space during the installation - 10G? [03:59] hi [03:59] arimmer: its probably not wubi [03:59] can somebody help me plz? [03:59] Vital_: hi, with?

Boot windows and see if there's an Ubuntu app in your installed programs.; If yes, it's wubi [04:01] if i chooses ubuntu it loads another grub (grub2) [04:01] jimqode i used the minimal cd xD [04:01] goomba54: what are you trying to do? [04:01] SkEmO, that is why :) [04:01] Vital_: Were you asking about the same problem a few days ago? [04:01] but what do i do now? [04:01] no jordan [04:01] this is my first time in this room [04:01] tristan3199: windows DOES have a BOOT manager which could then boot grub. but only in wubi installations [04:02] trying to find compiz which is apparently already installed but i cant find it in my applications menu anywhere [04:02] Vital_: re-set up the usb pen with unetbootin is my advice [04:02] jimqode: It's WPA2, but even if I disable security it won't get an IP address.

You can work around it by deleting all of the files unetbootin created, then running unetbootin again. Or, if you plan to keep this system up to date, I would recommend you actually just do a standard install rather than using unetbootin at all. [04:03] Vital_: s/but/bug/ [04:03] No, it gives me a "bad password" message. [04:03] BFP, when you disable authentication? [04:03] No, then it says "can't get IP address." [04:03] tristan3199: yes. BUT, you might want to keep that wubi for awhile. you CAN fix it. If it's wubi, as I suspect, use windows to delete it. Then reinstall it as a wubi and give it lots of room. [04:04] ok [04:04] BFP, what is your wifi card? [04:04] It's an Asus USB-N13 adapter. [04:04] Vital_ :: I used Universal-USB-Installer-v1.5.7.exe from windows and It worked for me you can too gave an try :) [04:04] If you really want a dual boot, I agree it's better but you have to be more careful on your installation. You should also have your Windows [04:04] So I can't find xorg.conf on my computer (although everything is running fine)... I've tried 'locate xorg.conf' with no joy.

Dual boot does, too, but in a different configuration. Anyway, on the chance that soemthing goes wrong, no bootloader, no boot. And fixing the windows bootloader is a huge PITA that generally requires the windows DVD [04:08] I can't boot, could it be a ln -s I made?

[04:08] well I installed gdesklets from synaptic manager and when i try to start it nothing happens [04:09] so whats the best way to install as duel boot.. preferably as ubuntu default [04:09] wubi?

[04:11] preferr duel.. then i wont have this error again.. correct [04:11] tristan3199: well not THIS error. :) anyway, what windows do you have? [04:11] tristan3199:: problem may occur after defragmintig your windows part [04:12] well.. resetting gnome panel didn't fix the problem of merging empathy icon with mail ubuntu notifier - on ubuntu 10.04 [04:12] on boot, I get Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format, why?

[04:14] Fixmypc956: i'm guessing, but i bet if i went to look at the bug report page for the package, it's been reported [04:14] Fixmypc956: i meant state the problem in case someone else knows [04:15] tristan3199: ok. let's go private. === xy is now known as xx === xx is now known as xy [04:15] Fixmypc956: that sounds like bad programming to me:/ [04:16] How do you I get the "x" to the right side of the windows on 10.04? [04:16] qm7: oh ok thanx [04:16] never have... im tryin [04:16] brieweb: use gconf [04:16] onetinsoldier: well i hope it has maybe I can get it soon [04:16] tristan3199: xchat? [04:16] jimqode: How would I use the older kernel? I don't think I've done that before. Can I do it in synaptic or whatever we call it these days? [04:17] BFP: lol how old skool are you? [04:17] Is there a command called gconf? [04:17] BFP, if you upgraded from 9.10 there should still be an option for the older kernel on the boot menu [04:17] BFP, What did they used to call it? [04:17] !gconf [04:17] Los Angeles Students to Be Taught That Arizona Immigration Law Is Un-American FOXNews - Jana Winter - ‎4 hours ago‎ The Los Angeles Unified School District school board wants all public school students in the city to be taught that Arizona's new immigration law is un-American. [04:17] I did not, it's a fresh install. [04:17] onetinsoldier: i dont know if what i am getting from synaptic is the same version as what is on the gdesklet site [04:17] arimmer: loading [04:17] edbian: I guess now it's the Ubuntu Software Center. [04:17] sorry [04:17] command not found? [04:17] Or something like it is. [04:18] almoxarife, NO worries [04:18] wrong window :) [04:18] BFP, That used to be called ADD / Remove It's different from synaptic (which has been synaptic for a long time) [04:18] arimmer: nope sorry.. [04:18] arimmer, tristn, can one of you invitme me as well? I'm a dual boot question as well and would like to hear what you saying [04:18] BFP, i guess it'll be all pain and suffering then. may I suggest you go back to 9.10 until the issue with the driver is fixed [04:18] brieweb: i can't remember, but its an easy googler [04:19] arimmer: ill come back from ubuntu.. im in windows [04:19] jimqode: Hm, I got the driver from the last thread on the subject. Can you point me in the direction of where I can keep an eye on updates to it? [04:19] arimmer: if i uninstall wubi i cant boot ubuntu tho???? [04:19] Fixmypc956: well if your looking at version on the website/homepage of a piece of software that's a package that's in Lucid, i wouldn't be surprised if there's a new version available as 'source'. what's the link? [04:20] onetinsoldier: let me get it for u [04:20] can you connect to yahoo msngr [04:20] google what? [04:20] brieweb: "close button in 10.04" [04:20] tristan3199: one thing at a time. IS this a wubi? Do you see Ubuntu in your installed windows programs? [04:21] At any rate, at least I now have an idea of what to do. [04:21] brieweb: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/ [04:21] onetinsoldier: http://www.gdesklets.de/ [04:21] brieweb: first result [04:21] BFP, just google it until you see a [SOLVED] thread with your problem. I couldn't find a bug report for this issue on launchpad, maybe you can consider making one. [04:21] BFP, you could also try to use the windows drivers with ndiswrapper. [04:21] tristan3199: while you're looking - the process for a dual boot would be to delete the wubi, verify that windows will still boot correctly then install uuntu as a DUAL boot. [04:22] I don't have any experience using ndiswrapper, although I guess I do have the windows drivers here. [04:22] ndiswrapper is only scary the first time [04:22] :) [04:22] Now is that time. [04:22] Please be gentle. [04:23] i do see wubi... one moment [04:23] Fixmypc956: thanks. no newer version there. there hasn't been a newer upstream version in a year and a half. we've got the same version as listed on that site [04:23] heh, the light went on for me when I finally figured out the .inf files business [04:23] BFP, I have to go to sleep now but there are tons of resources on the web, and i'm sure there'll be someone else here happy to help. Good luck. [04:23] <--- not an expert, so won't offer counsel [04:24] Sure, thanks, Mr. qode. [04:24] yes.. ubuntu is in add \ remove programs [04:24] Can anybody offer me advice on using ndiswrapper? [04:24] onetinsoldier: guess we have no luck huh? [04:24] tristan3199: ok. solid proof that you put it in as a wubi. [04:25] Tristan: BE SURE you want to drop the wubi and dual boot instead. Otherwise just fix the wubi... [04:25] Fixmypc956: nope. not at this time anyway [04:25] i do [04:25] i thought wubi was buggy.. whole UBUNTU is BUGGY! lol [04:25] tristan3199: using your windows add/remove programs; delete ubuntu [04:26] BFP, What advice are you looking for? [04:26] Ok guys, I'm having issues installing the Nvidia drivers, I installed them a while ago and all went well then I needed to reinstall them and now it's telling me kernel-source is not installed. So I installed Linux-source and Linux-source-2.3 so on, it's still giving me the error. Not sure what's going on here? [04:26] uninstall ubuntu? [04:26] thank god finally that bug disappears [04:26] correct [04:26] tristan3199: correct [04:27] onetinsoldier: do you know of any other widgets pkg that i can use [04:27] whichhas better support for ubuntu Nvidia or ATI? [04:27] doug__, Try using aptitude to install instead of apt-get sometimes it figures things out better than apt-get [04:27] !aptitude | doug [04:27] doug: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [04:27] Man, I think I'll just roll back to 9.10. [04:27] onetinsoldier: Im really looking for something that had a dock, a clock, and some system information [04:27] edbian, that's what I used to install the kernel sources [04:27] Fixmypc956: google-gadgets maybe [04:28] Fixmypc956: cairo dock?? [04:28] BFP, Not a terrible idea. 10.04 will get better with time. You could say that 9.10 has a 6 month head start on it! [04:28] edbian, the nvidia drivers I need to install have to be run via the sh command as my video card requires the latest ones. [04:28] doug__, Then aptitude won't help (obviously) it's only better at dependency generation [04:28] !info google-gadgets-gtk | Fixmypc956 [04:28] Fixmypc956: google-gadgets-gtk (source: google-gadgets): GTK+ Version of Google Gadgets.

[04:28] sure [04:28] hello, anybody knows wine irc channel? [04:28] hey guys is there something to create a restore point in linux at all? [04:28] what is the package for gnome desktop in ubuntu [04:28] I don't have access to a windows box for unetbootin right now. [04:28] read the howto for the usb stick creation [04:28] BFP: startup disc creator [04:29] doug__, That was my only idea. I don't really have a clue otherwise ;) [04:29] ocatacoo: ubuntt-desktop [04:29] Ah, it can do that for distros other than itself? [04:29] ubuntu* [04:29] Ah, I see it can.

[04:29] howcome wine apps go uber slow [04:30] because you're not running them natively [04:30] bricky: wine is an emulator. not native. things take time [04:30] oh, I gotcha [04:30] arimmer: will i lose my files in ubuntu? [04:30] well, it's not really an emulator [04:30] ocatacoo: ubuntu-desktop* [04:30] tristan3199: YES [04:30] arimmer, bricky WINE: "Wine Is Not an Emulator" [04:30] edbian: yeah but it is [04:30] Tell me, how bad an idea is it to use the 64-bit versions of ubuntu right now? [04:30] bricky, It emulates the windows API [04:30] tristan3199: if you wan those files, save them [04:31] BFP: safe iirc [04:31] mickster04, I know. Deceptive name in my opinion [04:31] I know it has something to do with emulatiing [04:31] ok so which is the gnome package ? [04:31] edbian: very nice app tho [04:31] just seems to slow the rest of my pc [04:31] ocatacoo: that what does tabbing the name suggest to you? [04:31] BFP: everything i've read suggests that unless you have 4+ gigs of ram, 32 is fine [04:31] bricky, It's a wonderful app. I don't use it. [04:31] I do have 4 gigs of RAM. [04:31] it's not actually emulating the application or windows it self though, just an enviorment [04:31] I want to make a backup before I install more programs and slow my pc [04:31] bricky, Try emulating, if you have enough hardware it will scream. [04:31] ocatacoo: (Pressing tab when you have ubuntu-d typed in_ [04:31] ) [04:32] BFP: >4 [04:32] is it in rpm or only deb [04:32] some things actually run better under wine though, world of warcraft always ran better in wine then in actual winows for me [04:32] edbian: with wine, or with the box [04:32] ocatacoo: ubuntu is deb? [04:32] Don't emote at me! RAM was cheaper back then! [04:32] Yeah, I was hoping I'd be able to get warcraft to run in Ubuntu. [04:32] Where I'd be safe from pesky scammers and their keyloggers. [04:32] so rpm doesnt work in ubuntu [04:32] bricky, Set up a virtual machine is what I meant to say. A virtual machine running windows will outperform wine if you have enough hardware. [04:32] warcraft was easy to get going [04:32] BFP: yeah WOW is one of a couple of things that works faster in wine [04:33] edbian: ah, you are right about that. [04:33] ocatacoo: "alien" packages MIGHT work [04:33] ocatacoo: no? why wouldyou need it to though? [04:33] I think last time I tried it ATI cards were having issues with software mouse drivers or something like that. [04:33] ocatacoo: what arimmer says [04:33] edbian: not a bad idea, [04:33] That was like in hefty or intrepid, though. [04:33] ah, I've only had an ATI card once in my life.... [04:33] I have an ATI card. [04:33] new version bump and setup your not being detected automatically close, then i do that from ati vid card. [04:33] It works fine [04:33] not a good experience, unfortunately the current Nvidia cards out then were the FX series and was worse lol [04:33] never tried it with games in WINE though [04:34] But the SELinux isnt dfault [04:34] arrimer: can u connect to yahoo chat? [04:34] tristan3199: no yahoo account. skype or facebook chat only [04:34] edbian: I just wanna see what catalyst could do [04:34] i have geforce fx series) (9780130313584): andrew s.… [04:34] nigerians are pretty horrific, i think asm/c would map i imagine using it, then recommend using ubuntu version of yahoo calendar to solve the problem in the ata9 i think the clock is wrong here. [04:34] -qs catalyst though [04:35] -qs? [04:35] Nigerian princes are nothing compared to goldsellers. [04:35] yeah the FX series they really dropped the ball on lol [04:35] arimmer: tristan3199us facebook ok? [04:35] gushh: yes there is (as hda is awful compared with win7 professional [04:35] but ball [04:35] love my GT330M though and my 290 GTX in my desktop [04:35] Akron: think you coulg et on the topic of ubuntu tech support, please? [04:36] tristan3199: yeah wait one [04:36] Without an authenticator, no one is safe from their pestilential presence. [04:36] BFP: you too. get on topic [04:36] (hint: nigeria is probably not "on topic") [04:36] Ok guys, I'm having issues installing the Nvidia drivers, I installed them a while ago and all went well then I needed to reinstall them and now it's telling me kernel-source is not installed. So I installed Linux-source and Linux-source-2.3 so on, it's still giving me the error. Not sure what's going on here? [04:37] doug__: you need to install the kernel-headers === jenny is now known as untmdsprt [04:37] ok will do thanks [04:37] if only I could figure out what I need for my wifi now [04:37] <_liu_> hi all. [04:38] _liu_, Hello [04:38] doug__: just to let you know, the package you probably want is.. linux-headers-generic ..if you're using the generic kernel [04:38] mickster04: I ask because I use several distros and like some of the features of each so I use xen but would like to test for function [04:38] <_liu_> i want to ubuntu cluster. [04:38] hello, does Skype and Ibus have a problem playing with each other? [04:38] _liu_, awesome, do it [04:38] onetinsoldier, ok I just checked synaptics, and linux-headers-2.6.32-21-generic is installed [04:38] <_liu_> but i don't it [04:38] can i duel boot on the same partition [04:39] onetinsoldier, should I install the 2.6.32-22-generic version as well? [04:39] anybody get outlook 2007 working with wine? [04:39] doug__: what do you get from --> uname -r ? === Guest8800 is now known as krish [04:39] doug__: yes [04:39] _liu_, You don't it? [04:39] onetinsoldier, I get -22 maybe my kernel updated in one of the apt upgrades lol [04:40] onetinsoldier, everything makes sense now [04:40] To take the topic off of Nigeria and onto Ubuntu, are any of that kind of password-stealing nastinesses browser-specific and capable of hurting me even in Ubuntu? [04:40] anyone know a good place to find help with getting an old logitech webcam to work? the cam works on other boxes and is recognized by the ubuntu computer just cant get any tools to see it... [04:40] <_liu_> yes ,i don't know to set it [04:40] _liu: you might want to ask here #ubuntu-cloud [04:40] BFP, it's possible but doesn't happen often [04:40] doug__: if your just using kernel 2.6.32-22 then you could just purge the old -21 revision as long as your booted into the -22 version [04:41] BFP, You really only have to worry about them phishing you. [04:41] _liu_, Check out mpicher. I've never set it up but that's what it's for. [04:41] onetinsoldier, any idea on this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500176 [04:41] tristan3199: charlesh1609 FB [04:42] Phishing is not such a worry with an authenticator so I should be good then. [04:43] <_liu_> thanks all [04:43] BFP, Phishing also only works if you're an idiot so you're safe there too. [04:43] doug__: i don't know anything about wireless, sorry. you use a laptop/netbook? i'm just simple desktop guy here, and i don't even have any bluetooth components or anything [04:43] Yes, there is also that. [04:44] But malicious code is apparently quite a problem these days because there's so much profit, and even with Firefox and NoScript you aren't 100% safe. [04:44] onetinsoldier, yea I was mostly wondering about the other package that they said to download. There isn't one that's named the same for Lucid [04:44] doug__: maybe wicd? i don't know [04:45] sdf [04:45] BFP, You're safe on linux because even if you get malicious code it won't be run on your system thanks to linux file permissions and user control [04:45] by using duel boot vs wubi ill be able to use my HD to store movies and stuff without getting a false "no memory" message correct [04:45] !search wicd [04:45] Found: [04:45] BFP: browser-based attacks tend to be cross-platform. if you're worried, setting a password in firefox to encrypt your stored passwords is one approach to mitigating the problem [04:45] finally! figured this out [04:45] BFP, Unless you go around pulling code off the internet (compiling if necessary) and running without thinking about what it is / does [04:46] !hammertime [04:46] !search wicd [04:46] Found: [04:46] well I saw some people had issues with wicd so not sure [04:46] oh well.....search continues [04:46] brb, time to update the nvidia drivers lol [04:47] Oh, wait. Setting a master password in firefox encrypts all the non-master passwords? [04:47] is update manager normally slow? sorry new to ubuntu [04:47] juniorsgv, Define slow... [04:47] doug__: yeah, bot wasn't helpful there. i usually just use apt-cache search in terminal [04:47] juniorsgv, a minute-ish is normal [04:47] juniorsgv, Depending on how much stuff you have to update (and therefore download) [04:47] can deb files be made into rpm [04:47] !info wicd [04:47] wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage.

[04:48] bricky: you sure you're in the right channel? lol [04:48] ocatacoo, Most if not all .deb packages are open source so you could grab the source code and make a .rpm (might want to alert the maintainer though) [04:49] onetinsolder: lol :) [04:49] juniorsgv, You can switch the server to get better response times. Go to system -> admin -> software sources [04:49] ok letting you know [04:50] onetinsolder: crank yankers just makes me rip a gut [04:50] juniorsgv, do you see how to do it or do you need more direction? [04:51] ah... cool. i saw that earlier browsing. like the new look... and so far everything found and works fine. so what are some top apps i should have a new windows switcher [04:51] anyone know how to speed up this ipv6 dns issue with chromium on dell xps420? [04:51] does anyone know what `ln -s dir2 root` in /dir1 do, given /dir1 & /dir1/dir2 exits? [04:51] juniorsgv, That last sentence didn't really make sense? [04:52] juniorsgv, "top apps" That really depends on what you want to do now doesn't it [04:53] does anyone know what `ln -s dir2 root` in /dir1 do, given /dir1 & /dir1/dir2 exits? [04:53] tristan3199: I gotta get out of the library - no wifi. work with this tutorial and check back tomorrow if still stuck.

[04:54] acovrig: symbolic links aren't dependent on existence, and are always relative to where the link is [04:54] acovrig: /dir1/root will be a link to /dir1/dir2 [04:54] SkEmO, Do you have a specific question? [04:54] i did all what the ubuntu help page says, but i still get a shell when rebooting [04:54] Random832, well now I can't boot [04:55] SkEmO, You didn't install the server edition by mistake did you? [04:55] check out this mexican ubuntu manual, http://www.guia-ubuntu.org/index.php?title=Manual_basico_de_inicio_en_Ubuntu_9.10 [04:55] edgy360 i did not [04:55] acovrig: uh, what are /dir1 and dir2 really? [04:55] i used the 32-bit pc edition of lucid [04:55] my equiv to /www [04:55] how would that affect boot? [04:55] henryubuntu: that is called Spanish [04:55] SkEmO: Please put a more specific question here in this channel. [04:55] Random832, server edition doesn't have a GUI installed... [04:56] edbian: i wasn't talking to you or SkEmO [04:56] SkEmO, Yes, details! Do you get errors during the boot sequence? What kind of shell? bash? busybox? grub? [04:56] Random832, Sorry [04:56] `ls -la /boot|grep vmlinuz`="-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 90 May 26 14:46 vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486" [04:56] hahha and yeah, henry, my guess is that that is a translation from Spain and not one of the americas [04:57] acovrig: i'm confused - you said it was your equivalent to /www, not /boot [04:57] _what_ are dir1 and dir2 in this question/ [04:57] I am using /dir1 instead of /www [04:57] ok, what's dir2 [04:57] and I was in /dir1 when I did `ln -s dir2 root` meaning `ln -s /dir1/dir2 /dir1/root` [04:57] i'm trying to figure out how you believe a ln -s in /dir1 or /dir1/dir2 or /www or anything could be responsible for you not being able to boot [04:57] is there something you're not telling me about all this? [04:58] i didnt got any errors during the installation, after the base system was installed i did the "sudo tasksel" and selected ubuntu desktop, it did all the installation, then it asked me to if i wanted to update the packages, and i did, after it finished i got a terminal like this "skemo@mypcname:~$" [04:58] SkEmO, Have you rebooted? [04:58] SkEmO, startx [04:58] SkEmO, sudo gdm [04:58] Random832, the 'root' instead of '/dir1/root' - when I boot, I get 'Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format' [04:58] i rebooted yes and i got the welcome to ubuntu, documentation at lalalala then a shell again [04:59] acovrig: why is your boot process even looking in /dir1 ? [04:59] SkEmO, startx [04:59] ok startx is not installed [04:59] or do you just think it's responsible because it's the last thing you did before restarting? [04:59] hey guys, instead of downloading the iso for server, is it possible to install server edition off of my regular cd i have burnt already? [04:59] yes [04:59] im gonna get it, sec [04:59] did you do anything to /sbin/init ? [04:59] tells me to install xinit, do i do it? [04:59] SkEmO, Well that's a problem. startx is part of the X server (you need that) [04:59] wait, that doesn't even tell me [05:00] acovrig: _when_ are you seeing that line? what's the other stuff around it? [05:00] SkEmO, I'm really surprised the package manager / installer is failing you on this. [05:00] Random832 are my permissions ok for my kernel? [05:00] whatever your problem is, it's not a symlink in somewhere that the boot process doesn't care about. [05:00] yeah me too, never happend before [05:00] yes, and booting doesn't care about kernel permissions anyway [05:00] answer the question [05:01] :) [05:01] SkEmO, Can you "sudo gdm" ? [05:01] Random832, I see that when I boot, just after grub&if I press any key, it takes me back to the grub [05:01] you probably have a problem with /sbin/init, i'd guess [05:01] Random832, so I'm in the livecd rescue mode (xubuntu live cd) [05:01] hey, how do i set up my computer to use dual-monitors [05:02] Random832: looks to be more of a problem with the kernel in /boot [05:02] edbian dont know yet, im instaling xinit, i'll check when it finished [05:02] ajmitch: i on't think a kernel problem can print that error [05:02] SkEmO, Good thing to have ;) [05:02] maybe [05:02] try booting a different kernel [05:02] Random832: it's grub printing the error, from what was pasted before, the kernel is 90 bytes? [05:03] SkEmO, Try the other tty's Ctrl + Alt + F7 or F(anything 1 - 7) [05:03] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an HP mini. I am trying to download skype though UBUNTU TWEEK and it keeps saying update fail. What is the problem? [05:03] oh, i didn't see that - yeah, that's a problem [05:03] acovrig: try booting a different kernel [05:03] do you have another kernel? [05:03] acovrig: do you have any other kernels installed there, and what were you doing in /boot to get it like that? [05:03] ok sudo gdm, command not found [05:04] oh startx did it [05:04] :D [05:04] SkEmO, Well that means GDM (the gnome display manager) is missing. You definitely need that! [05:04] SkEmO, Awesome! [05:04] Sorry to interrupt, but no other channels seem to be active.. I installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 without any errors. It told me the installation completed fine, and to restart. I took my USB jump drive out that had the boot image on it, and restarted. The computer restarted, booted to the hard drive, but then went to a black screen with a CLI that said "Gave up waiting for root device," "ALERT! /dev/mapper/server-root does not exist. Dropping to a she [05:04] nothing, I'm in it now `ls -la` and no, i don't have any other kernels [05:04] SkEmO, GDM shows the log in screen. I suggest installing that :) [05:04] I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an HP mini. I am trying to download skype though UBUNTU TWEEK and it keeps saying update fail. What is the problem? [05:04] well its loading now i hope i dont get a prompt installation screen xD [05:04] hey guys, instead of downloading the iso for server, is it possible to install server edition off of my regular cd i have burnt already? [05:04] edbian ahh, ok, gonna do it [05:04] SkEmO, Awesome [05:05] lol i get a black screen with just a mouse pointer, nothing else xD [05:05] SkEmO, You have X but none of gnome [05:05] amouge:apache [05:05] SkEmO, Very odd that the package manager seems to have just totally lied to you. [05:05] Does Skype run on 10.04? [05:05] yes [05:05] ok, reboot and then install GDM [05:05] SkEmO, ctrl + c ? just a guess [05:05] frobisher? [05:05] Random832, `grub; find /grub/stage1` = 'Error 15: File not found' why? [05:06] fillayy: yes [05:06] SkEmO, yeah, just reboot [05:06] hm alt+f2 works :S [05:06] xangua: do you know why it will not work for me? [05:06] acovrig: you need to be in a chroot [05:06] SkEmO, Are you familiar with the tty's? [05:06] which means you need to mount everything - for a 'rescue' livecd, it sure doesn't make things easy [05:06] fillayy: you can install it from the partner repository [05:06] no [05:06] not really [05:06] how do i find the partner repository [05:06] this is the first time i get ubuntu [05:06] hey guys just installed ubuntu lucid gnome session fails in about 10s after install..using failsafe gnome now.....pls help [05:06] well gnome [05:06] you might just be able to copy in a good copy of the same kernel image [05:07] and reboot [05:07] you don't have any other kernels in /boot though? [05:07] ok installing gdp [05:07] Random832, I think I did /dev/hda1 as / and then /dev/hda3 is an expansion partition and /dev/hda5 is swap [05:07] is there a command that i can throw at install to use my standard dvd to install server instead of full ubuntu? [05:07] hmm cant find it [05:07] fillayy: system>administration>software origins [05:07] SkEmO, There are 7 of them. They're virtual terminals. You can press alt + F(some number) to get to them. tty7 is where the GUI is usually loaded. If you are in the GUI and you want to switch you need to ctrl + alt + F1 (or some number) [05:07] SkEmO, You can log into each one (all at the same time if you want) and do 7 things at once :) [05:07] acovrig: you also have to do /dev and /proc and /sys - it's annoying... and it doesn't solve your problem [05:07] oic, im on tty1 [05:07] if you can get a good kernel image in there, you don't actually need to run grub [05:07] SkEmO, Yep [05:08] i dont have a software origins selection [05:08] amouge,you can install apache server from the repositories. [05:08] Random832, other kernels are where? /boot? [05:08] yeah [05:08] frobisher: I understand that, but i dont wanna install any of the X stuff, I want it to boot to terminal [05:08] hey guys just installed ubuntu lucid gnome session fails in about 10s after install..using failsafe gnome now.....pls help [05:08] ok installing GDM now [05:08] fillayy: software sources maybe¿¿ [05:08] SkEmO, Good luck [05:08] SkEmO, Did it come up with 100 gnome-dependencies? [05:08] amouge,OH. [05:08] can someone look at my fstab and tell me if this will let any user (not just root) mount this webdav [05:09] What do I do from there? I am a newbie to this. [05:09] SkEmO, If not you'll probably want to get "ubuntu-desktop" [05:09] bsmith093, Show me [05:09] edbian thats what im thinking [05:09] file transfer? [05:09] Random832, `ls /boot`='System.map-2.6.26-2-486; config-2.6.26-2-486; grub; initrd.img-2.6.26-2-486; vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486' [05:09] cuz, something got messed up here [05:09] bsmith093, Show me your fstab [05:09] SkEmO, That was very odd indeed. [05:09] hey guys just installed ubuntu lucid gnome session fails in about 10s after install..using failsafe gnome now.....pls help...newbie to ubuntu [05:10] fillayy: go to 'other software' tab and enable the partner repository [05:10] torres09, I don't know if I can help you because you're being vague. Did you get any errors? Why does the session fail? [05:10] ithe keyboard and mouse becine unrespionsive [05:11] every time i log into gnome [05:11] xangua: how do I enable the partner repository? [05:11] Hi [05:12] omg this is setting up all the packages [05:12] Random832, now what? exit livecd shell&reboot? [05:12] Today I sudo aptitude full-upgrade'd to lucid lynx from karmic koala and X does not now recognize my keyboard [05:12] my sound icon dissapeard during a dist upgrade to 10.04 [05:12] bsmith093, Neat file send :) you put the word "user" not "ben" that's confusing isn't it? [05:12] Also, no display manager starts [05:12] but i have a user called ben [05:12] acovrig: wait, no... not /boot on the livecd, you need to look at you real boot partition [05:12] The mouse still works, and the keyboard works from the tty [05:12] so should i put user [05:13] Random832, I booted into the rescue & mounted /dev/hda1 to / and got dropped into a shell [05:13] is that space for the name of a group or a user [05:13] xangua: how do I enable the partner repository? [05:13] damn it! black screen again [05:13] crypt-0: add the indicator applet to the panel [05:13] so /boot is /boot on /dev/hda1 where my rootfs is (hda0,0) [05:14] fillayy: just mark the square omg [05:14] thanks xangua [05:14] :) [05:14] what do you call the part of alacate that shows the properties [05:15] what do you call the part of alacarte that shows the properties [05:15] Random832 now what? [05:16] acovrig: well, are there any other kernels in it? [05:16] no [05:16] guys just installed lucid...keyboard and mouse fails after about 10s on logging into gnome ...now working on failsafe gnome... [05:16] is there a cmd that'll tell me how much space a file takes up? [05:17] is there a cmd that'll tell me how much space a file takes up? [05:17] acovrig: ls -lh [05:18] acovrig: what kernel _is_ in the hard disk /boot - is it the one that says it's just 90 bytes in ls -l, or was that in the livecd? [05:19] acovrig: you can also use the 'du' command, but you might want to look at the man page for it first [05:19] guys just installed lucid...keyboard and mouse fails after about 10s on logging into gnome ...now working on failsafe gnome... [05:19] *yawn*. OK a coupled of hours ago I asked a question about anthy thatRandom832 tried to answer but I ended up falling asleep(passing out more like it :P) so I'm gonna lay out the details. So here goes [05:19] Random832, `ls /boot`='System.map-2.6.26-2-486; config-2.6.26-2-486; grub; initrd.img-2.6.26-2-486; vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-486' [05:19] acovrig: i thought you said that was on the livecd [05:19] you need to look at the one in the hard disk you mounted [05:21] Random832, given `df -h`='/dev/hda1 2.2G 1020M 1.1G 48% /; tmpfs 2.2G 1020M 1.1G 48% /lib/init/rw; udev 28M 128K 28M 1% /dev; and so on' [05:23] guys just installed lucid...keyboard and mouse fails after about 10s on logging into gnome ... [05:23] I have a toshiba netbook, ubuntu lucid installed, using Ibus Anthy with direct kana input. Everything works perfectly, but the ` key does not produce the $B$m(B (ro) character. I've tried it with an external usb keyboard also. I've tried different keyboard layouts in the settings. Google search hasn't helped much. So I thought I'd ask here. Anyone have any ideas? [05:23] what do you call the part of alacarte that shows the properties [05:23] Hi [05:25] where can I find my SSH keys, and how can I generate my public key? [05:25] torres09. is the caps lock light flashing on and off? If it is, that means there's a kernel panic which might be a hardware issue. If not, I'll have to leave it up to the others in the channel to help >.> [05:26] nope no flasing [05:26] odd [05:27] what do you call the part of alacarte that shows the properties [05:27] CaptainTrek, ~/.ssh/ [05:28] marik: and to generate it? [05:28] marik: it doesnt exist, i need id_rsa.pub [05:28] xD [05:28] man ssh [05:28] acovrig: huh? [05:28] CaptainTrek, man ssh-keygen [05:28] i just asked you to make sure when you did the ls it was in the /boot _of the hard drive_, not _of the livecd_ [05:29] it i [05:29] is [05:29] marik: got it thanks [05:29] since ubuntu doesn't have -486 in the kernels in the hard drive by default, it's -generic [05:29] what is the exact ls command you are typing [05:29] and where is your hard drive mounted? [05:29] for what [05:29] mounted as [05:29] for when you pasted the ls of what kernels and the -2-486 or whatever [05:29] mounted as / [05:30] no, you're in the livecd - the hard drive is not / [05:30] aren't you even paying attention to what you're doing? did you mount the hard drive at all? [05:31] Random832, yes, I told it to use mount /dev/sda1 as / [05:31] huh? you can't just mount something over / [05:31] you're _still in the livecd_ [05:31] / is _the livecd_ [05:31] acovrig: you want to mount it in /media ...not / [05:32] when I booted the livecd i picked rescue mode and it asked me what I wanted to use as by rootfs for the livecd shell (I am booting the livecd to get a shell) [05:33] acovrig: cat /proc/mounts [05:33] I need to connect to the internet with a mobile phone which is to be paired via bluetooth.

[07:14] yeah I've tried those but totem still says I need a plugin called 'DVD Source' [07:14] eveningsky_: oh, roger. i don't know really [07:15] codebrainz, i tried that, but add what? i don't see mail or volume in the options [07:15] spvensko, is it the notification area or something, i forget what it's called in gnome [07:15] add mediaubuntu repos [07:15] hiexpo, onetinsoldier. I would NEVER have guessed from the description that I could get a keyboard shortcut filter in compiz search by installing it, so I'm wondering what other wonders lie hidden inside. [07:15] yeah, but i already have one of those [07:16] eveningsky_: i was look at the docs. you can see what a package installed in either synaptic or on command line to see where it's docs are to read them. usually in /usr/share/doc/ [07:16] i have dropbox, my ethernet, and battery icon showing [07:16] just now volume and mail [07:16] eveningsky_: hehe [07:16] eveningsky_: i always* look at the docs [07:16] live and learn [07:17] cinnabarisland12: do you have libdvdread4 installed? [07:17] say if I install the fglrx drivers and X works which I did before but compiz doesnt [07:17] is there a way to recompile compiz to work with those drivers [07:18] spvensko, sorry, i don't know what the applets are called, i don't have gnome available atm [07:18] bricky: If you install fglrx with that card on anything later than 9.04, you will not have 3D [07:18] where i can find information how to set up an host with ubuntu server? [07:18] codebrainz, no worries, ty for helping though :) [07:18] soreau: oh ok [07:18] bricky: Its not a matter of rebuilding compiz. fglrx simply does not support your card at all anymore [07:18] Could anyone help me set up my Sprint Mobile Broadband with a built in sim card?

[07:27] because I installed it before and couldn't see it [07:27] can one play mov files on ubuntu? will vlc open them? [07:27] cinnabarisland12: Application --> Sound and Video [07:27] rockey16 have u had any heat issues with ubuntu 10.04 [07:27] odd it's not there [07:27] sebastian, yeds [07:27] yes [07:27] r u running it on a laptop or desktop [07:28] sudo apt-get install moo [07:28] cinnabarisland12: No automatic launcher is created for gxine, generally. It might be shown on Sound and Video of Applications, or else, press alt+f2 and enter gxine [07:28] anyone haveing overheating issues with ubuntu 10.04 [07:28] sebastian: yes. i have some old ones from, like the year 2001, that i had to use winff/ffmpeg to play though. wouldn't play in vlc [07:29] winff? onetinsoldier why does it matter how old htey are? [07:29] when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? [07:29] inzi1985: I did not have. Do you have Laptop or desktop? [07:29] soreau, onetinsoldier, Basically it looks like python-sexy gives python bindings to libsexy, which makes 4 features available to gtk dialogs. So, I guess, Compiz is just written with some features that take advantage of libsexy if it's [07:29] ok I did alt+f2 but it just closes the window when I click run [07:29] sebastian: old codecs [07:29] there or ignore it otherwise. [07:29] but new vlc from ubuntu will play current mov files right? [07:29] @rocket16 : i have a laptop compaq 610 [07:29] eveningsky_: ahh, roger that [07:29] godricbrutus, i was just thinking maybe you're setting stuff on the wrong device [07:29] when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete? [07:29] cinnabarisland12: Doesn't gxine start? The window will be closed, and gxine will start. [07:30] @sebastian vlc, doesnt support mov and rmvb i think [07:30] codebrainz, i see [07:30] rocket16: nope it doesn't start [07:30] @sebastian u should try mplayer instead [07:30] eveningsky_: Does that solve any of your problem? [07:30] godricbrutus, did you try re-plugging in the mouse/rebooting after the changes? [07:30] back to my original question, how do i play mov in ubuntu? [07:30] codebrainz, yes [07:30] sebastian: Gstreamer supports them with plugins, but sound crashes many times. [07:30] sebastian: use winff / ffmpeg [07:30] !info winff [07:30] winff (source: winff): graphical video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.2.0-1ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 1416 kB, installed size 4496 kB [07:30] sebastian: Try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:30] can anyone help me with privoxy and tor settings? I have them both installed, and I can connect to tor, but cant get them to work togather [07:31] godricbrutus, what type of mouse, ps/2, usb, bt, etc? [07:31] hmmm maybe I need to restart [07:31] so cant access internet throught them [07:31] cinnabarisland12: maybe. but i didn't think you'd need to [07:31] codebrainz, usb microsoft arc mouse [07:31] how about m4v will vlc play those? [07:31] sebastian : the ubuntu restricted extras should have all the plugins, have u tried playing them with mplayer [07:31] would the totem-xine backend help? [07:32] i found the fix for f-spot not opening the problem is the theme if it is not a original ubuntu ///anything custom it will not open so in order to use f-sdpot jus revert back to a simple ubuntu thme [07:32] Still doesn't fix my shortcut problem :( [07:32] i know my typing bytes [07:32] hiexpo: well that kind of... sucks [07:32] godricbrutus, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 [07:32] but I got my printer working yesterday !!!! :D [07:33] eveningsky_: does alt+r/l work without compiz enabled? [07:33] i am trying to put a file in my "peers" folder but says access is denied. i am the admin of the account and cant figure it out [07:33] yes it does [07:33] hiexpo: sounds like a bug [07:33] ok thats odd- the list of known applications in alt+f2 doesn't list gxine [07:33] codebrainz, yes, im the last post there [07:33] it is a bug and they will not fix it but i am gonna start working on it [07:33] there is no 'fix' there [07:33] i am trying to put a file in my "peers" folder but says access is denied. i am the admin of the account and cant figure it out [07:33] hiexpo: roger. my hats off to you. good luck [07:33] godricbrutus, heh. good luck then :) [07:34] codebrainz, they just talk about a 'workaround' for scrolling speed [07:34] Error moving file: Permission denied [07:34] soreau, interesting. yes, not only that, but it it works after re-enabling compiz too. [07:34] godricbrutus, sorry, i've just gotten used to people not googling in the channel, i just spat out the first hit :) [07:35] when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete?, or when intrepid support will end? [07:35] eveningsky_: cool :) [07:35] hey guys, do you think that the xine backend for totem will work? [07:35] codebrainz, understandable [07:35] it is a bug and they will not fix it but i am gonna start working on it? [07:35] i got an ipod shuffle, but i couldnt just copy and paste files onto it from windows, is there something like itunes for ubuntu? [07:36] yes [07:36] its plug and play u will see it [07:36] cinnabarisland12: i'm going to guess that you'd need to set gxine os a default application in.. System --> Preferences --> Preferred Applications [07:36] Good day all , ow to covert a photo to white and black ? [07:36] i am trying to put a file in my "peers" folder but says access is denied. i am the admin of the account and cant figure it out [07:36] when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete?, or when intrepid support will end? [07:36] when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete?, or when intrepid support will end? [07:36] Good day all , ow to covert a photo to white and black ? gimp [07:36] asjfhahf yes [07:36] dzup: read the channels motd [07:36] send me the photo, il convert it and send it back [07:37] anyone heard anything on getdeb repos for karmic being back up [07:37] ok Ubuntu software centre says gxine is installed [07:37] however main OS and everything else says it isn't [07:37] @cinnabarisland12 : what r u trying to actually do? [07:37] play an encrypted dvd [07:38] when updates to intrepid will be accepted by aptitude upgrade/apt-get upgrade? or ...what day is intrepid to be obsolete?, or when intrepid support will end? onetinsoldier 'cuz any of the new ubuntu works on my dual 1.86 centrino w/ athros wifi card, but only intrepid, new versions sucks here. [07:38] type in terminal gxine [07:38] soreau, I guess I need to write some kind of script to kill and restart compiz on startup. I did that for several weeks as the only way to get jack to work with the pulse-jack script. but after a couple rounds of updates that started working right. [07:38] me? [07:38] dzup: read the channel's motd --> Intrepid Ibex (8.10) is EOL on April 30th ...so Intrepid supported ended on April 30th [07:39] asjfhahf: colors -> desaturate [07:39] support* [07:39] sure why not [07:39] ok terminal= [07:39] gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [07:39] weird [07:40] dzup, are you trying to say your atheros card is not working on versions after intrepid? [07:40] hang on updates are available [07:40] codebrainz: yes. [07:40] not for gxine though ;( [07:40] cinnabarisland12: do you have firefox and xulrunner-1.9.2 installed? [07:40] how do i make my account the "owner"? [07:40] dzup, support for atheros chipsets has gotten much better lately, i have two notebooks with them and they both work fine [07:41] i have 9.10 and installed just to see and it works fine [07:41] ok firefox is installed I'll go find xulrunner [07:41] cinnabarisland12: ok, roger.. the package name is exactly.. xulrunner-1.9.2 [07:41] cinnabarisland12: it should have installed with firefox. [07:41] yes.. i tshould have [07:41] it* [07:41] cinnabarisland12: have you installed any updates lately? [07:42] uhhh yeah the 90 odd that have been released since Ubuntu 10.04 got released [07:42] cinnabarisland12 : try this site http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-playback-dvd/ [07:42] cinnabarisland12: if you updated the kernel did you reboot? [07:42] * onetinsoldier goes to stick in a dvd and run his gxine to make sure it's still working [07:43] cinnabarisland12, are u using amd64 ? [07:43] Good day all , ow to covert a photo to white and black ? [07:43] gxine is fine here just tried it [07:43] codebrainz: not here, my atheros its a atheros 5006esx [07:43] asjfhahf, gimp or imagemagick [07:43] hiexpo are you using amd64 ? [07:43] Package xine is not available, but is referred to by another package. [07:43] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [07:44] is only available from another source [07:44] E: Package xine has no installation candidate [07:44] cinnabarisland12: if you updated the kernel did you reboot? [07:44] cinnabarisland12: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:44] hello, I have and external HDD how can I chkdsk it? [07:44] codebrainz: from anything from intrepid ...atheros dont work [07:44] wat is the benifit of installing 64bit ubuntu [07:44] hello. Where could I find the kernel config file. [07:44] ? [07:44] * lapion no the reason I ask is that I have been havind problems playing back video under amd64 .. [07:45] oh well I mgith as well switch to Linux Mint (again) [07:45] *might [07:45] DOH! gxine not working here either after todays security updates!! [07:45] DOH! gxine not working here either after todays security updates!! [07:45] cinnabarisland12, are you using amd64 ? [07:45] nope [07:45] i386 I think [07:45] ok because under amd 64 I cannot playback dvds [07:45] howdy ya'll! [07:45] wats the benifit of using 64bit ubuntu [07:45] I have this problem using a verbatim usb stick. It has V-secure on it and shows me only a cdrom drive. I want to erase everything on the device and use it as a regular pendrive [07:46] gxine not working here either after todays security updates!! [07:46] mimor: use diskmanager [07:46] grrr! [07:46] mimor you need a special tool to do such things.. [07:46] onetinsoldier: Report a bug. [07:46] how do i make myself "superuser" [07:46] arand: i hear ya [07:47] !sudo | fillayy [07:47] fillayy: 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 [07:47] fillayy: with a cape! [07:47] * onetinsoldier starts up 'reportbug' [07:47] -levelthe stick has been configured on a lowl-software [07:47] hy [07:47] hello, I have and external HDD how can I chkdsk it? [07:48] the stick has been configured on a lowl-software-level [07:48] people. The kernel config file I need. Where is it in ubuntu? If I have to generate it with menuconfig command where should I run this command (in which folder)? [07:48] mine neither now lol b ut vlc still does [07:48] i can't set my mouse speed. it doesn't change when i change the settings [07:48] can anyone help with my issue? [07:48] blekos: Guess what? Diskmanager will tell you the health of that drive in color! [07:48] how would i use sudo to move a file to a directory? [07:48] blekos: figure out which disk it is, first. (sfdisk -l will help) [07:49] sjm: Good point! [07:49] mv {file} {dir [07:49] after todays security updates.. gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory :-( [07:49] hiexpo is that the full command? [07:50] no [07:50] could i have it, i dont wanna mess this up lol [07:50] onetinsoldier: what packages updated? [07:50] asjfhahf, here is one pretty straight forward way in Gimp: Colors->Desaturate->(best looking of 3 choices)->OK [07:50] sjm: kernel was one of 'em [07:50] onetinsoldier: then try a reboot first thing. [07:51] I have 16GB USB key. When I create USB stick with new Ubuntu, it will deteled the data in that USB? [07:51] sjm: i did that immediately after updating ;-) [07:51] lapion: do you know any tools? [07:51] gparted doesn't see the thumbdrive [07:51] it's a tool from the manufacturer.. [07:52] M2player, what do you mean by "create"? [07:52] mimor, most manufacturers do not freely give this tool away [07:52] got an interesting issue. Connecting to my VPS, and its not accepting my public key. server / client side logs are here: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/CD2ziaeX the VPS admin who helped set it up says it might be some issue with seahorse-daemon or gnome-keyring. any help is appreciated. Using: Ubuntu 10.04 [07:52] night all [07:53] I want new Ubuntu. Not CD but USB [07:53] hello everybody [07:53] create in USB start up creator [07:53] M2player, same download just put it on usb [07:53] thanx to all :) [07:54] my god! reportbug doesn't even work! you have to jump through a hoop to use it! [07:55] M2player, to install a "LiveCD" onto a flash drive will need to wipe the partition. You can try to partition the drive with GParted leaving enough space in the first partition for Ubuntu, but... [07:56] I have a question I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask. I am building a media ubuntu box and am looking for software. I have a 72" tv hooked up and a 20" flat screen with touch screen I am looking for some soft ware that will let me use my touch screen like a jukebox for my music (maybe video to) ... any ideas ? [07:56] at this moment.. this is becoming pathetic [07:56] M2player, I have found that running GParted on a drive tends to trigger a lot of bugs in USB Creator. [07:56] reportbug doesn't even work, you have to jump through a hoop to use it! [07:56] QUESTION: I have tor, privoxy, vidalia and torbutton installed. I can connect to tor network, but when I click torbutton I get a warning: "the most recent Tor proxy test failed to use Tor." If i test the setting it says that the local HTTP proxy is unavailable. and than it asks me if polipo is working correctly. [07:56] mh === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:57] <`boz> Hi all recent niggly problem running lucid 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx all my wndow have lost minimise maximise buttons and functions and right click on mouse not doing anything anyhelp appreciated [07:57] hey guys, turns out I did need to restart [07:57] reportbug --> *** ERROR: "Ubuntu" BTS is currently unsupported. Please use "ubuntu-bug" (from the apport package) for reporting bugs in Ubuntu. You can report bugs - to Debian by specifying 'bts debian' in your ~/.reportbugrc or by passing the -B debian option on the commandline (see reportbug(1)). [07:57] any idea on how to get this working [07:57] its not possible to download the new generic header from ubuntu [07:57] Thank you eveningsky_ . I will try it [07:57] cinnabarisland12: it now works? [07:57] yep [07:57] I don't know how or why but it now works AND gxine iis installed [07:57] <[joe]_> first install of ubuntu and i got irc to work :D [07:58] M2player, You may want to copy the files to the local drive and wait till after you have the livecd installed on the flash drive before you partition anything. [07:59] anybody know how to do a "run as root" on lucid like you can do a "run as administrator" in windows? [07:59] hmmm [07:59] TyanColte: for which app? [07:59] i know you can use gksudo in the run command but it makes it hard to if you don't know the exact name of the program [07:59] the Disk Utility [07:59] sudo gparted ? [07:59] TyanColte: does it not run as root in anycase? [07:59] hey, does anyone know a short bash command to take two files output and output.old, and only return the lines that are in output but not output.old, without sorting? [07:59] not gparted [08:00] nope [08:00] what might cause 2.6.33-22 to kernel panic on my root partition but the previous kernel to work fine? === Wolphie_ is now known as Wolphie [08:00] naynay1, maybe diff. [08:00] try to see man diff [08:00] I have a question I am not sure if this is the proper place to ask. I am building a media ubuntu box and am looking for software. I have a 72" tv hooked up and a 20" flat screen with touch screen I am looking for some soft ware that will let me use my touch screen like a jukebox for my music (maybe video to) ... any ideas ? [08:01] pwnguin, sometimes initramfs is not rebuild [08:01] lapion: that sounds painful === juju2143 is now known as [J] [08:02] tyanColte, "palimpsest". you can see the properties of the gnome menu shortcuts by right clicking on the gnomoe menu icon and choosing edit menus [08:02] lapion: but initrd.img-2.6.32-22 looks to be present [08:02] why doesn't ubuntu make it easy to run any program as root, such as Nautilus without having to know the actual program name [08:03] jpds: xmbc? [08:03] right clicking and hitting "run as root" like you used to be able to do [08:03] would be perfect [08:03] why would you run nautilus as root? [08:03] to copy files to the root folder or other folders with permissions not mine [08:04] pwnguin, so you can copy move system files around without typing them all. [08:04] exactly [08:04] onetinsoldier: ubuntu-bug packagename, reportbug is for reporting in debian.. [08:04] i guess that's what * is for, but point taken [08:04] pwnguin: *? [08:04] anybody knows how to copy a directory and keep the permission of the files? [08:04] any way to choose my ip when using a vpn client ? [08:04] tyanColte, I have a open folder in root option in my nautilus context menu, I forget how I install it. [08:04] TyanColte, that is easly done with sudo in terminal that's why I guess [08:05] not if you don't know all the commands [08:05] yeah that's true as well [08:05] touchzou: cp -a will work [08:05] gaelos, tar it up [08:05] well, cp -ar [08:05] oops sorry :)) it was for touchzou [08:05] :))) [08:06] pwnguin: Thanks [08:06] i mean i know most of the commands i'm not new to ubuntu in the least, it's just easier to use GUI then command line [08:06] TyanColte, you don't have to know the full name of what you are typing. some-file-version-1.5.4.3.890987.1.200 could probably be called by typing some-file* [08:06] when i configure my vpn connection on ubuntu 10.04 i can't choose my ip adress i will use [08:06] TyanColte, what about: sudo mc ? [08:06] tyanColte, unless you have a file in the same directory named some-file-version-1.5.4.3.890987.1.201 [08:06] wildcards only work when the command isn't pre-empted by another command [08:06] TyanColte: on a scale from 1 to 100, how secure do you think nautilus is? [08:07] eveningsky_: then you use tab completion, or a smarter regex :P [08:07] pwnguin: idk about a 50-75? [08:07] TyanColte: the general argument i hear about running GUI apps as root is they're insecure [08:08] Hi [08:08] I have a computer with Intel Q45/Q43 and screen resolution 1600x1200 is unavailable [08:08] pwnguin: yea but the general consenus is that any linux OS is way more secure in the first place than any other OS [08:09] pwnguin, initrd has to be rebuild to be reconfigured [08:09] I'm trying xrand --newmode ... [08:09] lapion: any idea how to trigger that again just in case? [08:09] TyanColte: well we didnt get there by running file managers as root :P [08:09] but get X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) [08:09] haha [08:09] any hints on what to do.. [08:09] <_L30_> how do i change my kernel and get it working? [08:10] <_L30_> consider an example i installed a PureOS kernel [08:10] pwnguin, update-initramfs\ [08:10] i cant seem to access packages through apt-get, error says E: Broken packages as the reason, how can i fix? [08:10] hey guys for some reason my screen gets corrupted and then if I wait a couple seconds it kind of shakes and goes back to normal. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and have an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. Has anyone else experienced. I have tried taking a screenshot but it never shows up and I am not quite sure how to reproduce it. [08:10] <_L30_> but after the restart it doesnt boot [08:10] I'm on Ubuntu 10.0.4 [08:10] pwnguin: oh well, it's not like it hasn't been done before [08:10] doh.. 10.04 [08:11] pwnguin, synaptics uses root without any problems, why can't nautilus? [08:11] TyanColte: it'd be interesting to see nautilus prompt for elevated permissions [08:11] gaelos: Why shold you choose IP address for using VPN? [08:11] onetinsoldier: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gxine/+bug/542506 fix is available in -proposed, apparently. [08:11] <_L30_> lapion: can you help me with this? [08:11] eveningsky_: synaptics the touchpad, or the GUI tool? [08:11] pwnguin, the gui install tool [08:11] pwnguin: i've used it plenty of times before [08:12] a2ensite ciriguao [08:12] ERROR: Site ciriguao not properly enabled: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ciriguao is a real file, not touching it [08:12] >>> what i need to fix ? [08:12] _L30_, what exactly is the behaviour ? [08:12] rookie: Does the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/ciriguao exist? [08:12] yes [08:12] <_L30_> tell me how to change the working kernel lapion [08:13] pwnguin, just elevates when you start it. I think it even forgets the password after too much inactivity, like the terminal does with sudo. [08:13] rookie: Did you copy it to sites-available then? or why do you have two different files in those folders? [08:13] arand: yep.. reading it all now.. the whole page. thanks :) [08:13] well, its a lot harder to get arbitrary data into them [08:13] Is there any channels about C programing? UNIX Networking programing channels would be better for me. [08:14] _L30_, to get the grub-menu, at startup keep shift-key pressed [08:14] one is a folder and that other is a file [08:14] new question, what would cause the ubuntu splash screen to not display and it just show some lines at the top of the screen, the OS boots but i don't see anything between POST and the Log in screen [08:14] <_L30_> ok [08:14] arand: i ended up on the page by running 'ubuntu-bug' and starting the bug report [08:14] rookie: Let me start over: Does /etc/apache2/sites-available/ciriguao exist? does /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ciriguao exist? [08:14] * pwnguin reboots [08:14] yes [08:15] onetinsoldier: yea, serching launchpad almost always finds *something* [08:15] arand: imo, reportbug should be symlinked to ubuntu-bug [08:15] Hello, I need some aid with connecting to a samba windows network at my work. Going via nautiluses Network -> Windows Network -> I can see our WORKGROUP, but as I understand it's a "domain" and using my windows logins to access it just gives me an error "Password is probably wrong" [08:15] any ideas? [08:15] onetinsoldier: report a bug ;) [08:15] rookie: Both of those files exist? [08:15] how can I make ubuntu rebuild my grub.conf? [08:15] yes [08:15] err menu.lst [08:15] arand: oh believe me, the thought occured [08:15] <_L30_> lapion: i am unable to boot error unable to find the optional filesystem ext3 [240] [08:15] <_L30_> something like this comes up [08:15] rookie: How did you make them both? Are they copies of each other? or you made one and the did a cp? or what? [08:16] <_L30_> do i have to run update-initramfs -u ?? [08:16] new question, what would cause the ubuntu splash screen to not display and it just show some lines at the top of the screen, the OS boots but i don't see anything between POST and the Log in screen [08:16] gah, I don't won't to go back to windows to get a better screen resolution [08:16] _L30_: yes [08:16] _L30_, is it a newly installed systrem ? [08:16] <_L30_> yes [08:16] one was made for apache and the other i did [08:16] rookie: You copied? [08:16] nop [08:16] <_L30_> yes newly installed system [08:17] what [08:17] lapion: that appears to have worked [08:17] en? [08:17] rookie: Are the files identical? [08:17] np pwnguin [08:17] ????????? [08:17] linux [08:17] peindklfnsdl [08:17] no [08:17] i think its time to get a new computer [08:17] no [08:17] uustop: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:17] no [08:17] TyanColte: just del the word "slient" in grub config line and you will see the information of booting [08:17] and also how the heck do i put my close, minimize and maximize buttons back to the right side of the windows? [08:17] rookie: What's different about them? [08:18] this one's been locking up too much lately [08:18] how to use [08:18] sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/mynewsite [08:18] that was the command I wrote [08:19] _L30_, elaborate new system .. newly formatted system ? [08:19] rookie: where mynewsite is ciriguao? [08:19] <_L30_> lapion: fresh installation [08:19] Linux noob here, would like to get my other 3 monitors working like monitors and not like other desktops. If that is understandable [08:19] yes [08:19] rookie: Alright, so how did you create /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ciriguao? [08:19] sites-available>>> that is a folder and ciriguao is a file [08:19] <_L30_> that was what you meant right lapion ? [08:19] I'll wait for you guys to finish :-P [08:20] boot from dvd-rom slect rescue system.. [08:20] Visseroth, how many monitors do you want to connect? [08:20] sudo cp /etc/apache2/sites-available/default /etc/apache2/sites-available/ciriguao>>>>but using that command [08:20] TyanColte. nautilus-gksu . I think you will have reboot or restart your x-server before it works. [08:20] How to upgrade the kernel in command line? [08:21] rookie: sites-available is different than sites-enabled. How did you get ciriguao to sites-enabled? [08:21] sudo apt-get upgrade doesn't upgrade something [08:21] such as the kernel [08:21] touchzou: dist-upgrade [08:21] codebrainz, have 4 total, trying to get them to work like they would in Windowz but currently it seems they only work semi correctly if I don't use Xinerama, if I use Xinerama and try to move my mouse to another screen the mouse gets all crazy on me [08:21] eveningsky_: nautilus-gksu that's it? to make the buttons back on the right corner of the window? [08:21] <_L30_> yes touchzou even i feel that [08:21] touchzou: (apt-get dist-upgrade) [08:21] rookie: you put the file in sites-available, and a2ensite to turn it on (it copies it to sites-enabled) [08:21] Flannel: thanks [08:21] TyanColte, no to get root access through nautilus. [08:21] Visseroth, how many gfx cards/outputs per card? [08:21] touchzou, apt-get full-upgrade [08:21] codebrainz, 2 [08:22] ok so i need to move it ? [08:22] i just use gksudo nautilus for that one [08:22] <_L30_> lapion: since I am again going to have a customised kernel tell me how to do that/ [08:22] Visseroth, are you using compiz? [08:22] lapion: ? [08:22] codebrainz, 2 per card, 2 cards [08:22] codebrainz, compiz? [08:22] Visseroth, fancy 3d desktop effects, not sure if it's default or not [08:22] Flannel: dist-upgrade is to upgrade the version of ubuntu?such as 9.10 to 10.04? [08:22] rookie: do you have the file in sites-available? [08:22] rookie: If it doesn't exist in sites-available, then yes. Move it from sites-enabled to sites-available. If it already exists in both places, just delete the one in sites-available [08:22] touchzou, do : (sudo apt-get full-upgrade) [08:22] codebrainz, not enabled atm, would like to though [08:23] no just i have a folder [08:23] touchzou: Nope [08:23] <_L30_> Flannel: can you help me with it [08:23] Flannel: ? [08:23] ok [08:23] thks [08:23] lapion: maybe they do the same thing> [08:23] codebrainz, would like all the fancy eye candy, I have a 4Ghz machine with 6GB of ram and 6 more on the way, quad with HT [08:23] _L30_, boot the system with the installation disk, and select rescue system [08:23] * TyanColte restarts [08:23] Visseroth, i had an issue getting 3 monitors on 2 cards working, at least with any desktop effects, due to it not being able to span across GPUs [08:23] lapion: "dist-upgrade "or "apt-get full-update" [08:23] <_L30_> ok done lapion got it worked out [08:23] rookie: a2ensite creates a symlink so you can turn sites on / off quickly without forgetting the config [08:24] <_L30_> but tell how to have a different kernel [08:24] codebrainz, any luck getting it to work? [08:24] TyanColte, once it's installed and you restart x-server, you should find a context menu item in nautilus that says open as root [08:24] dist-upgrade is deprecated [08:24] <_L30_> any thing to update along with the kernel [08:24] touchzou: In what way does it not upgrade the kernel? held back? doesn't connect to security.ubuntu.com? (that's a temporary problem) [08:24] _L30_: yes, and I think so [08:24] ok [08:24] <_L30_> or any changes to make? [08:24] touchzou: dist-upgrade gets you new versions of your packages, which means updated kernels and all that stuff. By doing that command you won't* upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 (* unless you do a few other things to make that command upgrade you from 9.10 to 10.04) [08:24] do u know how put my website online ? [08:24] Flannel: yeah,get it [08:24] Visseroth, it's been a while, but iirc i had desktop spanning on all 3 monitors, but with effects turned off. nvidia9600 gfx cards x2 [08:25] rookie: #ubuntu-server might be more useful for you [08:25] ok thks [08:25] and quieter [08:25] Visseroth, i'm pretty sure i just used the nvidia-settings program from the nvidia proprietary driver [08:25] codebrainz, I found a post where some guy managed to get 6 working with all eye candy though hasn't put up the how to post as of yet [08:25] Good day all , how to convert pdf to image ? [08:26] or how to edit a schem in pdf ? [08:26] Visseroth, i think if you use one of those matrox boxes that take in many monitors and represent it to the gfx card as a single large monitor, it's possible [08:26] codebrainz, got that installed, helped to get the other two turned on and I can use them but by no way the way I want to, it's like having a total of 4 desktops and not being able to move windows from one desktop to the other, it sucks [08:26] oops sorry I was thinking in aptitude full-upgrade [08:26] Visseroth, yeah, been there, useless [08:27] codebrainz, problem is those boxes reduce your over all resolution, but I have considered it, specially for gaming, would be pretty cool but don't want to loose my max res [08:28] is the songbird ppa broken? [08:28] Visseroth, i think they just sum up all the sizes of the inputs to make one full-res monitor to the pc. [08:28] _L30_, this problem arose after upgrading ? [08:28] <_L30_> lapion: i didnt upgrade [08:28] codebrainz, yes, but at a max res of X by 768 [08:29] codebrainz, ahh, here, check this out....... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=884161 [08:30] _L30_, where did you get the pueros kernel ? [08:30] pureos kernel ? [08:30] <_L30_> http://download.tuxfamily.org/gendeb/PureOS/PureOS_20_2010/ [08:30] Visseroth, yeah, but i think he's using an old unsupported package to do it [08:30] Visseroth, http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/ [08:30] hi guys, can you tell me how to fix broken plymouth (low resolution) after installing video card driver? thanks [08:30] codebrainz, eh, maybe, it is an old post [08:30] bp0: Songbird is no longer developed for Linux [08:31] _L30_, why would you install that kernel ? [08:31] Any good games about racing in ubuntu? [08:31] Visseroth, it might still work, but you need to use the old package which could be a pain. i read that post before when i was workin on it, i don't remember if i tried it [08:32] touchzou: sudo apt-get install supertuxkart [08:32] codebrainz, LOL, nice, have improved since I last looked at them but still only a max of 3 monitors which is great for gaming, problem is I don't game much. I may read the post more, I may need to build my xorg.conf file by hand [08:32] mneptok: thanks [08:32] mneptok, why not? [08:32] <_L30_> lapion: JLT [08:32] Visseroth, if you have a dual head card, you can use two of those one on each input [08:32] <_L30_> have some test issues with the work ive given [08:33] _L30_, elaborate [08:33] <[zz]> So I have a sort of odd question; I have 32-bit 10.04 installed on an HP DV5Z and it appears that xorg.conf simply doesn't exist, making editing it obviously slightly impossible. Any reason why this would be the case? [08:33] <_L30_> so that kernel would ease out [08:33] mneptok, ... the main site still has linux downloads... in tar.gz [08:33] but, i want an ubuntu package [08:33] mneptok: I played it ever before ,but now I found I forgot the name of it [08:33] <_L30_> need to use the live scripts [08:33] _L30_, that is not an official ubuntu kernel I guess.. [08:33] back everybody [08:33] codebrainz, true true, shouldn't have to though. Huh, may stick with Windowz longer, unfortunately. Really sucks too, I'm tired of the MS BS [08:33] bp0: http://blog.songbirdnest.com/2010/04/02/songbird-singing-a-new-tune/ [08:33] <_L30_> yes lapion [08:34] <_L30_> yet i has to work out [08:34] Visseroth, yeah, maybe keep it around for when you need all 4 like that until it's supported better [08:34] [zz]: that's the default now - it s done automatically at bot [08:34] *boot [08:35] codebrainz, post 693 on that thread looks promising [08:35] <[zz]> well_laid_lawn, what then would be a solution (if one exists) for configuring stuff that appears in there? [08:35] [zz]: if you make an xorg.conf it will be used [08:35] How do I monitor traffic coming from my router? [08:35] codebrainz, yea, it's still installed in my raid array, currently running dual boot since I wasn't sure how ubuntu or any other Linux OS would react with all my hardware [08:35] <[zz]> should that just go in /etc/, then? [08:36] <[zz]> also that's really weird. [08:36] Visseroth, yeah, i had that working, just no fancy effects are possible [08:36] goddard, check out pfsense, serious router that beasty is [08:36] mneptok, look at the bottom update on that page... it says the source is still available, and the linux build infrastructure... [08:36] codebrainz, well WTF, that sucks gonads [08:36] it's still not showing the Ubuntu Splash Screen [08:36] [zz]: it goes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf - you can read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to find out what is being used [08:36] _L30_, the kernel is from april first, while lucid is from april 29th.. [08:37] bp0: yes, but the official developers will no longer update the Linux codebase. [08:37] <[zz]> well_laid_lawn, thanks :D [08:37] np [08:37] _L30_, check if the kernel has ext4 support [08:38] Visseroth, totally sucks, but I'm sure as soon as someone figures out how to do it, it will be widely available [08:38] <_L30_> it has [08:38] bah [08:38] bah [08:39] bp0: "it's open source," is a polite way of saying "if you want updates and new features, feel free to write them yourself." [08:39] codebrainz, true enough, I'm going to do some more digging around, see what I can find and do some dinking around since this isn't my main OS at this time and see what I can break >:-P [08:39] Visseroth, i think it's just compiz, so you can still use the window manager compositing for some basic effects, i think [08:39] Visseroth thanks i will check that out although I was looking for a while to monitor a linksys wrt54g [08:41] goddard, it's worth a look for sure, it requires either a VM or a dedicated machine but it has a bunch of features but there is a app that is a windows app that will log the system log information coming from the router if that is something you are looking for [08:41] _L30_, make sure the kernel can mount filesystems based on uuid.. [08:41] codebrainz, huh, just enabled the effects, kind of weird seeing windows move like jello [08:41] <_L30_> ok lapion [08:41] Visseroth, it gets old quick :) [08:42] <_L30_> thanks will get backs to you [08:42] Visseroth, the one i really like is being able snap/tile windows with the keyboard to lay them all out really well [08:42] codebrainz, lol, yea, I bet. Use yours for work at all? [08:42] please compare: xchat common and xchat. What does it mean "common files for xchat" or more what I want to know is what kind of files are they? Are both _needed_? (I remember in Fortran "common" variables. :) [08:42] codebrainz, yea, i could see that being handy though that's what I have 4 screens for [08:42] _L30_, use native devices instead, eg: /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 or whatever devices the virtual machine uses [08:43] <_L30_> k [08:43] codebrainz - I am interested in what you said: I'd like to chose two windows and have them both share the screen and fill it. Is there something to do that for me? [08:43] #ubuntu-es [08:44] tripelb, with compiz enabled, it's something like ctrl alt or super alt plus a number on the number pad [08:45] tripelb, you might need to enable it in the compiz plugin manager and figure out in there what the key combos are [08:45] Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND). [08:46] tripelb, http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/linux-w-compiz-tile-position-and-resize.html [08:46] codebrainz: thanks. I'll have to leave it for some future time. I'm on a liveCD now. [08:46] Hi everyone. I have an Ubuntu VPS and I've just installed ubuntu-desktop. I've connected via VNC fine. The problem I have is that typing some keyboard characters come out wrong on. Typing the number 1 over VNC comes out as the number 9. Other characters are also wrong. Some characters are fine (such as a, b, c, etc) [08:46] and I just started learning what compiz was today. [08:47] tripelb, i think it'll run straight off the livecd [08:47] I went to System->Keyboard and only 'Generic keyboard' is the only model. The layout is set to US. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this keyboard map problem? I assume I need to choose a non-generic keyboard model or something, but only generic is listed [08:47] Googling for help has not been much use to me :( [08:47] ciao [08:47] a tutti [08:48] !it [08:48] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:48] Plasma_, maybe try 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [08:48] i think there's an option to change kbd layout [08:48] Hello [08:49] Is this the ubuntu help channel? [08:49] Retrace: yes [08:49] Retrace: how can we help you? [08:49] codebrainz - I need to focus. I want to play a movie. I've enabled the repositories. I need MPEG04 AAC decoder and H.264 decoder. --but I seem to remember something about gstreamer not being a good thing. --- CAN ANYONE give me a clue? Please. (2 gstreamer modules) [08:49] Ok, ive this stupid question. When I reboot my system SSH doesnt come online again. How can I do that? [08:49] I prolly should change the drive and use the installed system. [08:50] tripelb: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:50] hi guys [08:50] tripelb, or just use VLC [08:51] mneptok: can I do that on a livecd. I dont think I can install. sudo fails IIRW AFAIRemember [08:51] When I reboot my system SSH doesnt come online again. How can I make it work that after a reboot the ssh comes up again? [08:51] !cn [08:51] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [08:51] tripelb: yes, you can. but you need a network connection. [08:51] Retrace, your ssh server? [08:52] codebrainz, yes now im typing all the time after a reboot /etc/init.d/ssh start [08:52] synaptic never heard of vlc [08:52] I have problems with gnome-terminal and was wondering whether someone can suggest a decent replacement (not Konsole) [08:52] hi were can i fil a case that the ubuntu/canonical will know that ubuntu 10.04 is not working. but ubuntu 9.10 is working ok. pls help me [08:52] mneptok, this is a network connection. Isnt it? Or do you mean something else. [08:52] anthony: "not working" is not working here. Details please. [08:52] Retrace, without troubleshooting the actual problem, you could try just reinstalling it with 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server' [08:52] Is there a way to create shortcuts for applications like openoffice word docs [08:52] ? [08:53] tripelb: it is [08:53] !bug | anthony [08:53] anthony: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [08:53] northwoods: You mean open specific files with specific apps? [08:53] codebrainz, ok will try [08:53] northwoods: Or specific file types? [08:53] codebrainz, hey, where do you pull up system information in this OS, not the task manager but CPU info, speed, junk like that [08:53] theadmin , no like i press some shortcut key like windowskey + w [08:54] and it opens a blank office document [08:54] Visseroth: cat /proc/cpuinfo [08:54] i mean ubuntu 10.04 is not working on my computer. the cd is not working that i download and the cd that canonical send me is not working also. [08:54] omg mneptok IT installs. (ditch previous wrong concept into head-trashbin) [08:54] northwoods: Oh, system -> Preferences -> Keyboard shortcuts. There is no "Windows key", there is the Super key. [08:54] what do i need to execute the command mail? [08:54] Visseroth, i forget where in gnome, but there's a wicked util for that in the repos, let me see if i can find the package name [08:54] i have a purple lucid start screen with moving dots on the top where my splash screen is supposed when i start my computer [08:54] codebrainz: Thanks. That command did nothing apparently, but console-setup did. I'm restarting my vps now with a DELL keyboard chosen, hopefully that helps [08:54] theadmin, thanks [08:54] northwoods: The command you want in this case is "swriter" [08:54] maybe have to configure some smtp mail servers to send and receive emails? [08:55] I'm just getting the idea that I've been learning something. I'm more fluid with this newbie stuff. [08:55] ciao [08:55] theadmin, where do i type this command , terminal ? [08:55] theadmin: what problems are you having with it? [08:55] c'e qualche italiano? [08:55] codebrainz, ahh, ok, ty [08:55] Plasma_, ah, right. i knew i'd seen it somewhere [08:55] and this learning is all because of YOU [08:55] northwoods: Meh when you assign a keyboard shortcut it asks for a key combination and a command [08:55] !it | mito [08:55] mito: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [08:55] crdlb: With gnome's terminal? It doesn't die when I close the window, it sits there like a zombie [08:55] codebrainz: According to Windows device manager this keyboard has 109 keys, I couldn't find one listed in ubuntu with that many, chose a generic DELL USB Keyboard - will see if that helps :/ [08:55] theadmin, let me try [08:56] grazie [08:56] np [08:56] theadmin, what does XF86WWW , mean , it shows that its shortcut for web-browser ? [08:57] northwoods: Yeah, generically :D The command it issues is "x-www-browser" [08:57] Visseroth, http://hardinfo.berlios.de/HomePage [08:57] any ideas? [08:57] I have a C++ question, which will probably involve GTK+. Where would I go? (Sorry for asking a non-user question.) [08:57] To install ATI driver I need XFree86-Mesa-libGL. I've found that there is have to be installed libgl1-mesa-swx11-i686. but when I had checked it it said that "ubuntu-desktop" have to be removed. What can I do [08:57] linux, do you mean what IDE to use? [08:58] what do i have to configure to execute the command mail? [08:58] linux: #c++ I think [08:58] codebrainz, stupid multi desktop crap! [08:58] theadmin, the keyboard shortcuts should work something like this , when i'm on mydesktop/workspace1 for ex ,say i pressed www , 3 times , would it open my browser , is that waht you mean ? [08:58] igoryonya: Nah, I'm writing a program in C++ but I need to get it to run inside a GTK+ interface, and I have no idea how. [08:58] codebrainz: doh, no change at all. Within ubuntu destkop if I visit System->Keyboard on the 'layouts' tab there is a 'keyboard model' option. I only see 'generic keyboard' listed. Do you know how to get more items added to this list? I assume thats what I want to do [08:58] theadmin: thankyou! === northwoods is now known as Northwoods [08:58] northwoods: Uh, no, that's a special key on the keyboard, usually it has something like a globe or a *yuck* IE logo on it [08:58] so nobody knows [08:59] Northwoods: Some keyboards may not have it [08:59] theadmin: I can't say I've experienced that (you realize it uses one process for all windows, right?), but you could try roxterm or xfce's terminal [08:59] crdlb: I do realize that :D And I check it with xterm via htop when no gnome-terminal is running, it still sits there [09:00] linux, the gtk api is really well documented too, and you can use Glade if you want to build a ui without having to code it all manually [09:00] blarg That was no help. Invite only! [09:00] anybody know how to get rid of my grub 2 splash screen? i got it by accident and i cant get rid of it. [09:00] linux: It's not, you have to register [09:00] theadmin, that is perfect i gotcha [09:00] ubottu: register | linux [09:00] linux: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [09:01] codebrainz: I got Glade and made some interfaces, I just can't seem to figure out how to put the source .cpp file inside the GTK interface [09:01] theadmin: thankyou! [09:01] codebrainz: plus I'd rather learn how to code it by hand anyway lol [09:01] linux, the glade/gtkbuilder file gets used within your c++ code [09:01] linux, you still code it mostly by hand, just takes some of the pain out [09:01] anybody know how to start plymouth? [09:02] codebrainz: Oh! I knew it was something simple, thankyou! [09:02] TyanColte: Start? It's the boot splash thingy, you don't "start" it [09:02] ok, well it's not working right [09:02] theadmin, i tried by creating a new shortcut , i added , swriter as name and switer as command , then i set Crtl+w as shortcut , i tried this shortcut , it says command not found [09:02] meh for simple UI coding I go with python [/offtopic] [09:02] new kernel pushed on security updates?

[09:04] chrispin: Helpdesk? For something like remote support/control? [09:04] monengwen: hello [09:04] yes [09:04] chrispin: Go with teamviewer - www.teamviewer.com [09:04] how can i download the ubuntu 10.10 apha edition i what i just what to try it. [09:04] was there a new kernel put in mainstream security updates just today? [09:05] anthony: I'd not recommend it [09:05] falafell: yes [09:05] i will not install it [09:05] tnx arand [09:05] anthony: It's not ready yet I suppose [09:05] i just what to try in [09:05] theadmin , I really need a helpdesk solution to support my users [09:05] do you know if it solves the WPA+WPA2 connection issue and the i9xx freezes? [09:05] chrispin: I gave you a link already, test it, see how it is [09:05] ok [09:05] anthony: You'd have to wait until it's released dude... [09:06] falafell: and security.ubuntu.com struggled (struggles) for a while, it seems (disconnects while downloading it... [09:06] I've been using teamviewer for a some time [09:06] !maverick | anthony [09:06] anthony: Maverick Meerkat is the codename for Ubuntu 10.10, due October 2010 - See http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/336 for announcement - Developer summit: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS [09:06] ok i just hope on the next release it will work on my computer [09:06] anthony: And #ubuntu+1 for discussion [09:06] chrispin: Is that so? Well, what's wrong with it? Give some more details on what's wrong and I'll try to find a proper application for you [09:06] arand i'm using custom kernel now that fixes the i9xx chipset issues and WPA+WPA2 issues, should i upgrade ?

[09:09] falafell: if it's not from the main repositories the new kernel might get priority over it, yes. but then again, it's a security update, you should in that case try to find a version of your custom kernel that has the security updates as well, of course..

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. [09:16] a_m_y: kvm is most promoted/officially supported one [09:17] a_m_y: as for "best", se above.

[10:26] ikonio, yea, all it does is span my bottom and top screens and seperates them so that you can move windows from the bottom two to the top two [10:26] Alchimista: Did you replace the user-dirs.dirs contents with the code I posted, and save it properly? And also, did you logout? [10:27] Visseroth: what do you actually want to be able to do [10:27] Vladimirqq, it means that you have clicked once on the desktop with the left mouse button+. [10:27] Alchimista: Also, remember to remove the line numbers at the beginning of each line, if you copy them [10:27] ikonia, oh yea! One task bar, one panel bar, 4 screens [10:28] Visseroth: are you using a quad port card or two dual port cards ? [10:28] i've copyed it from the edition mode, so it's like how you-ve putted there. Do i must log off the OS? [10:28] Visseroth, gnome panels wont span screens for nvidia as far as i know. [10:28] rocket16: i've copyed it from the edition mode, so it's like how you-ve putted there. Do i must log off the OS? [10:28] airtonix, i just want to get rid of those buttons (i don't like the buttons), is it possible? [10:28] Alchimista: edition mode ?

[10:28] brianlions, did you look through the preferences of nautilus yet [10:28] Visseroth: ah ha, we have a problem, twinview doesn't support multiple cards [10:28] airtonix, I know, that is my frustration [10:28] ikonia: in pastebin, where you insert the code :P [10:29] Visseroth, not for me -) its a blessing [10:29] kunfubear, yea, run MS OS in a VM, currently the only way [10:29] KungFuBear: try moonlighlt (from its website) [10:29] hey [10:29] can anyone here help me wit c++? [10:29] Visseroth, however, docky does support spanning across screens [10:29] Visseroth: have you looked at xrandr yet, although be aware you'll get no hardware acceleration [10:29] dddd: try ##c++ channel [10:29] !anyone | dddd [10:29] dddd: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:29] ikonia, yea, seems like every time I want to give a linux distro another shot it gets smacked down because it doesn't support something that I do [10:29] hi [10:29] Visseroth: hrm, I've never run Win in a VM. I'll look into that, thank you [10:30] airtonix, docky? [10:30] Visseroth: nvidia/ati closed source drivers are a real problem, you can do it fine with an intel card [10:30] dddd, what help do you need? [10:30] ikonia, yea, need the HW accell too, I'm a power user for sure [10:30] airtonix, i've look through th preferences many times, but still not found where to disable it [10:30] need some help with codes that i cannot get working [10:30] !register [10:30] Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[10:32] kungfubear, np [10:32] Alchimista: that's a simple solultion yes [10:32] Alchimista: You need to, or else, restart Nautilus. Go to System-Administration-System Monitor, and kill the process Nautilus under processes (right click it, and select kill process). Now, after doing, return to desktop, and press Alt+F2, and type: nautilus and press enter. [10:32] Alchimista: Sorry I was offline for a while, is the problem solved? [10:32] anyone in china? [10:32] brianlions, 1) press alt + f2 to launch the run dialog window 2) type gconf-editor 3) press enter 4) open the folders apps , nautilus, preferences 5) tick always_use_location_entry [10:33] !cn |cnliuyix [10:33] cnliuyix: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [10:34] ye [10:34] ikonia, how can I edit xorg.conf while X is still active, seems gedit marks it as read only [10:34] Visseroth: use sudo [10:35] #ubuntu [10:35] Visseroth: run gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:35] ty guys [10:35] Visseroth: use sudo/gksudo - being active doesn't effect it [10:35] airtonix, it works and that's is what i realy need, thank you === JainAmber is now known as AmberJain [10:36] ikonia, I think I'm going to try editing this bugger by hand and see what I can come up with [10:37] For Indian users, you can join #ubuntu-in for country-specific help (Sorry for being offtopic, but this isn't an advertisement. I only saw that the Indian channel is nearly empty and inactive). [10:37] Visseroth: you may have luck with the "nv" driver, however I don't think it's full on 3d support, but it is getting better [10:37] rocket16: please don't recreuit [10:37] recruit [10:37] rocket16: nops, still without opening folders, even the documents on desktop, i can't open them [10:38] ikonia: That channel is an Official Channel too. And that was just for information, for you kind info. There is no question of recruiting, as many do not know of the channel. [10:38] ikonia, got the 3d rendering working, and all the screens on but doesn't like passing windows from screen to screen. Ahh, I dunno, maybe I'll just fire up my raid partition and go back to the MS BS [10:39] rocket16: please don't recruit for any channel in this channel [10:39] Visseroth: is that with the "nv" driver ? [10:39] Hello [10:40] ikonia: Please, that was for information. I did not force anybody to join that channel, also the channel is not mine. It belongs to the same Ubuntu Support Team, which runs this channel. [10:40] i've a internal modem 56kbps in my computer. How to know the /dev/tty? [10:40] Visseroth, lol just because you can't span a panel across screens, i cant do that in windows either [10:40] rocket16: are you going to mention everyother channel that's not got a large number in, no you can't so please don't randomly advertise channels [10:40] ikonia, yeppers [10:40] ikonia: now with the ls, i can get a list of folders [10:40] airtonix, I can without a problem [10:40] Visseroth: for nv is there a mode for xinerama extensions ? [10:40] Robertf: look at dmesg for it might be easiest, otherwise its like ttyS0 [10:41] What does dpkg mean? [10:41] kyle_: it's a package manager [10:41] Docteh: it's a internal modem in a laptop [10:41] how do I get my architecture type? [10:41] ikonia: That was not an advertisement, and as an Indian myself, I saw that many Indian users are here, who might not know of an Indian channel for Support. Please understand the matter. [10:41] Docteh: are there commands to check the modem? [10:41] wavez: Use in terminal: uname -a [10:41] ikonia, yep, it disables 3d rendering but it does work for the most part, I just can't use card number two because it won't let the mouse pass over there, it starts wigging the mouse out and sometimes get's it stuck in those screens and I can't get it back [10:41] rocket16 stop - now [10:42] hmm... [10:42] Visseroth: as I feared, sorry, I think your not in a good configuration with that. I do have access to a 4 port older nvidia card here, I may try it with a 4 port twin view see if that works [10:42] ikonia: Please, put an end to the matter. I do not wish to continue with a relentless quarrel in a support channel. Rolling on a simple matter is offtopic. [10:42] Robertf: minicom is like hyperterminal on windows [10:42] ikonia, here's my conf http://pastebin.com/8Rc0czeh [10:43] ikonia, yea, I bet it works, I hear it's a cross GPU problem [10:43] Visseroth: looking now, [10:43] wavez: uname -a. if you see "i686" near the end, it's 32-bit. if you see "amd64" (or x86_64, I forget which), it's 64-bit [10:43] * airtonix chuckles [10:43] Robertf: do dmesg|grep tty and see if any of the lines look modemlike because it could be pci or usb interfaced [10:43] rww, damn. It says i686. I want 64 bit [10:43] gotta reinstall [10:43] I guess [10:43] yup [10:44] mornin gents...and ladies [10:44] rww, do I have to make a new live CD? [10:44] i wanted to look at a version of something installed. can i use a command in apt-get [10:44] !version | kyle_ [10:44] kyle_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [10:44] kyle_: apt-cache policy package [10:45] wavez: yes, they're entirely separate :( [10:45] why does it say "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" at ubuntu.com? [10:45] wavez: because most home users would want 32-bit. it's badly worded and there's a bug open for changing the wording. [10:46] haha [10:46] rww, thanks for the help [10:46] can i compile kernel with alsa version 1.0.17? [10:47] ikonia, brb, going to restart X [10:47] Docteh: i only one line tty0 console enabled [10:47] Visseroth: Is it realistic to be able to run Windows through a VM on linux for things like gaming and such?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:48] Docteh: if i type lspci | grep modem i found 00:1f.6 [10:48] Robertf: thats just a slot id, do lspci -nn [10:48] KungFuBear: VMs don't do so well at 3D-accelerated gaming [10:48] -( my colon, semicolon(same key) only types a -. then my backslash and question mark key(same key) only types a plus sign... why would this be if my keyboard layout is still generic 105-key (intl) PC, and none of the layout options are ticked except for the ctrl-alt-backspace to restart x server [10:49] hi, how can I quickly figure out what release I'm in from the command line?

[10:49] Docteh: modem [0703] [10:49] Tuna-Fish2: or you can go to System -> About Ubuntu which is at the bottom i think... [10:49] rww: So it is still wise to have a decent sized partition set aside for an actual Windows OS? [10:50] KungFuBear: yes [10:50] KungFuBear: if you plan on doing 3D gaming, yes [10:50] KungFuBear: dualbooting? [10:50] Docteh: 00:1f.6 modem [0703] [10:50] hello bricky and rocket16 [10:50] yeah, right now I have a 200gb HDD on a laptop. I have 120g for Windows and 80 for Linux [10:50] Hello ZachK_ :) [10:50] I'd really like to stick with Linux though [10:50] KungFuBear: that's pretty good [10:50] KungFuBear: what do you plan on using MS for?

[10:52] ZachK_, in this network that dhcp server should serve both networks ..is it possible like that?? [10:52] Visseroth: your config looks fine, no issue, but I think your in trouble with your hardware, I can't see a way around that [10:52] ZachK_: But if I spend most of my time on Linux, I think I'd want more space over here (linux) [10:52] virtual: Ah.....hmmm not sure "D [10:52] KungFuBear: ok..... [10:53] ZachK_: Although I do also have a external 1t hdd [10:53] rww, is that possible ?? [10:53] KungFuBear: then use that for your linux storage [10:53] ZachK_: I guess I'll keep it this way for now, if I run into problems later I can always make changes. Thank you a lot for the advice :) [10:53] Hello, anybody tell me how to install adobe air on my ubuntu 10.04? [10:53] is it possible to install microsoft.net framework for wine [10:53] KungFuBear: cool dude [10:53] ikonia, yea, you and me both, funny thing is that if I disable Xinerama then I can use all 4 screens but they all act independently of each other which degates the purpose [10:54] bricky, .net 2 but not 3 [10:54] I am haing a crazy issu where the keys on my keyboard start going out of control. I dont think its a hardware issue because I see error messages in my logs related to the keyboard.

[10:54] airtonix: do you know which folder wine installs its apps [10:55] I was doing "apt-get upgrade" when it failed because I ran out of space on / [10:55] How do I fix the broken packages? [10:55] rocket16: No it is a wired keyboard and PS/2 or whatever the old style is. [10:55] bricky, the 'C:\ Drive' should be under the Ubuntu Menu => wine [10:55] bricky, wine doesnt install anything... installation is done by the software you-re running... wine fools it into thinking the c drive is in ~/.wine/ [10:55] ikonia, well thanks for taking a look, think I'll head over to the corrupted side once again but I'll keep my ubuntu installation on the disk that it's on for dinkig around, maybe I'll find it one day or maybe someone else will and fix the problem, sure would be nice to be able to just start hooking up screens and make them work like Winblows does [10:56] hi all [10:56] Visseroth: sorry your limited [10:56] HandyGandy: Type in a terminal: sudo apt-get -f install [10:56] airtonix: hmm.. okay so I cant have a app which requires .net framework for installation? === karthik is now known as Guest62395 [10:56] how to change login window on ubuntu 10 [10:56] well_laid_lawn, Incase you are curious, installing KVM added a new kernel and made it the default in grub2.

[10:58] well_laid_lawn, the new kernel is a pae kernel, which I probably don't need. I think you only need those if you have more than 2 gig ram.

[11:00] see http://imagebin.ca/view/Pd-Bj48.html [11:00] hm, OK [11:00] Severian: iirc there are kernel options for kvm which would mean you get a new kernel installing it [11:00] the last activity in /var/log/dist-upgrade was 35 minutes ago...

Then update the System, it will be better. [11:01] levene_, i'd give it 20 more minutes and then be concerned if nothing had happened. How fast a computer and how much ram?

You need it to install OSes that don't have the right kernel hooks.

[11:05] well_laid_lawn, ext3 [11:05] ZachK_: clean and less full-featured. yes. [11:05] Avasz: is it an old hard disk? [11:06] Avasz: If the problem persists, better to reinstall Grub2. [11:06] levene_: I can understand the reason for not wanting to do a full install but it's definitely better than an update [11:06] well_laid_lawn, hmm. i cant say that..because i got that hd from someone elsse.

[11:14] ubuntu en español [11:14] levene_: that many upgrades can and most likely will cause an issue [11:14] levene_: you're more prone to issues then, i agree with ZachK_, you're better off with a clean install [11:14] venky__hello [11:14] CaptainTrek: thanks for concuring [11:14] HI ZackH [11:14] ZachK_: thing is, i also have non-ubuntu software in /opt which i want to keep [11:14] !es | destroit [11:14] destroit: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Not live / persistent, but a full installation. Ubiquity doesn't show me the disk at all, but shell sees it fine. [12:01] MrPicard: maybe they've renamed it?

[12:04] jrib, where do i come across it? :S [12:04] visva, there is a wine app called "ies4linux" you can search to find it. [12:04] you can install wine using the synaptic package installer. [12:04] MrPicard: compare: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.5/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages and http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.4/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages . You see in 1.4 they had ebox-all and ebox-office, not in 1.5 [12:04] 4.) There are no Cancel or Restore Defaults buttons in many places. So, I can't change my mind? [12:04] andi123, make a one more logical partition with that space! ;) [12:05] just type "Wine" on the search box and things should be clear to you. [12:05] good luck! =) [12:05] Ok Jrib, what command should i use? :) [12:05] krishna_, caffeinepill MrPicard vishaltelangre ZachK_ Thanks to all of you . [12:05] your very welcome visva! [12:05] you're very welcome! =D [12:05] vishaltelangre: i want to link two unused 'spaces' into one bigger ;) [12:06] its awsomme to see more people joining the linux community :) [12:06] > No one can answer my questions? < [12:06] MrPicard: you should probably file a bug against the ppa for starters. For now, if you just want the thing installed, just install the packages listed for ebox-office on the wikipage [12:06] hi there [12:06] caffeinepill: well, like in the case you just mentioned [12:06] any one here has an hp deskjet 2600 series? [12:06] Jrib i ran the command but got the same problem [12:07] MrPicard: in particular ebox-metapackages is missing in 1.5 [12:07] MrPicard: what problem? [12:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/443934/ [12:07] hey [12:07] MrPicard: right... didn't we just agree that that package doesn't exist? [12:07] andi123, try fdisk command for utilities regarding disk partitioning.. [12:07] Ah ok...what package should i use then jrib? [12:07] >>> I see no one answers my questions. I'll paste them soon to pastebin, and link it. <<< [12:07] jrib, did you mean talking abotu the "wine" softW issue? [12:08] is there any way to retrieve ubuntu password ? [12:08] MrPicard: you should probably file a bug against the ppa for starters. For now, if you just want the thing installed, just install the packages listed for ebox-office on the wikipage [12:08] nyuszika7h, what was your question/ [12:08] caffeinepill: nah, wrong nick sorry [12:08] read back pls [12:08] xD haha ok jrib [12:08] MrPicard: and you don't have to use sudo if you are root [12:08] vishaltelangre: i am using gparted, but i cannot use 'resize/move option' because it is marked grey [12:08] vishaltelangre: and i am using live cd, so the partitions are not mounted [12:09] vishaltelangre, here are my questions: 1. Even if I change language, the login screen and the software center's some parts remain the old language. 2. If I try to change Digital Vibrance or Image Sharpening in NVIDIA X Server Settings, it quits immediately. 3.) Can I change the password dots to be smaller? It was bigger with other Linux distributions, like Mandriva, too. 4.) There are no Cancel or Restore Defaults buttons in many plac [12:09] es. So, I can't change my mind? [12:09] does anyone know how to obtain the psswrd of the linux system of Nokia N900? i'm sck of uzng the UI psswrd.. [12:10] I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).

[12:11] jrib, when i log back in my new acc, it logs me in, but then says my keyring pass was wrong, and then i have to enter the old pass again [12:11] jrib, you misunderstood my problem. I switched FROM HUNGARIAN TO ENGLISH. [12:12] nyuszika7h: how did you switch? [12:12] And some parts *remained Hungarian* [12:12] jrib: When logging in. [12:12] nyuszika7h: what did you switch to?

[12:17] what is .NET programming anyway? is it the same as web developing? [12:17] nyuszika7h, for sure, restart your machine after that [12:17] ok, thanks, returning soon [12:17] after restarting [12:18] nyuszika7h, yeah.. [12:19] i know that python is good for script programming, but why isn't good for .net? what's the difference? i knew that their basis is C so why not making the whole issue limited to C programming? or is there something that makes shortcuts instead of making a whole data once again? [12:20] Hi! I have installed the sun jre, how do I switch to using it?

Now the login screen and other things are in English, but application names and descriptions in Software Center remained Hungarian! [12:22] drizzt_: that has nothing to do with steal [12:22] drizzt_: also there are packages in debian which have the brasnding from ubuntu [12:22] well, i knew that C# is good for programming in .NET and i heard that it's what's going on in the cell phones in these days.

[14:04] trainormike: so it cant do that? ;( anything that can? [14:04] smt, yes i've added the sources. i could just download the deb, but i wouldn't know whether it is safe to upgrade or not because update manager displays nothing to update [14:05] when installing packages with aptitude, is there a compliation ? or programs are already compiled ?

[14:10] smt, let me try it [14:10] anyone can help me to set permissions when mounting a NTFS partition? [14:10] rocket16: really??

I ran "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda4" and now it just hangs during boot. Do I have any good options besides reinstalling?

[14:12] Hi [14:12] bricky_: In Windows, some settings are stored in registry, while some in USer folder. But in Linux, all such settings are stored in Home folder, in hidden folders and files.

Sorry, your search gave no results." What substitute does Ubuntu provide?

[15:29] kryptyk, You have 4 screens with seperate x sessions? [15:30] How does that work? Does it display a diffrent x session on each screen? [15:30] if important things don't work out of the box and you're not willing to read up on things (nothing wrong with that btw.) and fiddle on your own i'd just go back to win7/mac and/or find another computer for my ubuntu/linux needs, toughengineer .. IIRC newer xorg-versions do not have a hard dependency on there actually being an xorg.conf file around; but if you add one yourself it will actually parse it -- i think .. also, it's ofte [15:30] n a better idea to use packages from the ubuntu repositories .. i do this for my nvidia-drivers for instance; i'd never install stuff downloaded from nvidia.com [15:30] ikonia, http://codepad.org/BtTmjawj [15:30] itguru: Yes. Each screen has its own panels and windows are locked to that screen [15:30] lnostdal, Well said - if you use *buntu distros, then try as much as possible to use stuff from the repos [15:31] itguru: additionally, opening Firefox for example in one screen, prevents it from opening in any others [15:31] does anyone know if there's anything in UbuntuSoftwareCentre that I should use to convert some video into HTML5 compatible vids [15:31] kryptyk, can you log in as a diffrent user on that window? [15:31] skiwithpete: look for transcoder [15:31] * itguru knows the question is a bit wierd, but hopefully the answer is yes [15:31] skiwithpete: there are a few alternatives [15:32] itguru: I have not tried that. Mainly what I am after is the ability to move windows between screens. Xinerama psuedo works for this, but when I try to move past the second screen, it fails [15:33] The BESTEST ubuntu is firefox, because 1 people (100%) said so! === pkkm_ is now known as pkkm [15:33] how can i force a vpn to be dialed whenever connecting to a wireless network?

[15:40] itguru: Sort of. If I configure Xinerama with the monitors on each GC using TwinView, I can move between the first pair. But I still cannot get over to the second pair. Xinerama causes the mouse to simply shake when moving to the second pair on GC2 [15:41] so lucid is basically unuseable on ec2 instances [15:41] kaioken: Because it is querying the kernel just like you would if you opened the file manually. It doesn't know or care that the filesystem that the 'file' exists on is virtual. [15:41] anyone from canonical that i can pay to make this stop beign a problem?

[16:32] laurus: not sure, very strange [16:32] Ok [16:32] laurus: maybe someone else can contribute [16:32] wise_crypt: you can remove ubuntu-desktop at anytime, its a hollow metapackage [16:32] Yo [16:33] when i use the gnome terminal and want to close htop with F10 it opens file in the terminal, how to give the buttons to bash? [16:33] hello all [16:33] wise_crypt: enjoying lubuntu ;) [16:33] Hello again. [16:34] can i make a symlink which replicates the files to two folders? like i have one folder where i write my files but i want to see my files also in two other folders [16:34] laurus: it shows the same groups here. (the later prepends "username:" to the list of groups) [16:34] karuru: you can just click on the buttons with your mouse [16:34] hebz0rl_: no, look into something called "unionfs" and others like it. [16:35] SwedeMike, ok thank you [16:35] hebz0rl_: dirs can be linked too [16:35] Does anyone know why us.archive.ubuntu.com is so slow in responding with package headers? Some times it's taking up to 10 minutes to get them for various packages. Is there a viable repository that mirrors this one? Thanks in advance. [16:35] karuru: you can just click on F10 [16:35] onetinsoldier: but i prefer using the right buttons :/ [16:35] hebz0rl_: you can symlink the directory to another directory.. or as many directories as you wish [16:35] pr3d4t0r: try a different server insoftware sources under administration [16:35] karuru: i see [16:35] How to install from ubuntu alternative [16:35] !upgrade | saTTY [16:35] saTTY: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:36] saTTY: mount the cd and there is a script in the root of the cd to run with gksu [16:36] mysqladmin ping [16:36] mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [16:36] error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' [16:36] Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! [16:36] ActionParsnip: I'm on a headless machine. I'll check the config files. Is there a list of alternate repositories somewhere that you'd recommend? [16:36] server_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:36] i am getting Jerky playback of videos using the H.264 codec on my netbook which features Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics. Can anyone help me? [16:36] * xfact is away: I'm busy, ttyl :) [16:36] bastidrazor, ah you are right thats what i wanted thank you [16:36] I have only alternative cd [16:36] pr3d4t0r: depends on load really [16:37] saTTY: iso and cd are identical in linux [16:37] hebz0rl_: check the man page for ln.. man ln .. also 'ln -s' is the command you may want to use [16:37] !away > xfact [16:37] xfact, please see my private message [16:37] Does anyone know how to fix a botched upgrade? N00b (me) followed the instructions on the web to from 8.04 to 10.04. Power outage caused a crash. It boots but cannot connect to the wireless network. [16:37] hi is '>' or '<' an alias for rm? [16:37] pr3d4t0r: not sure how you can change server in terminal [16:37] ActionParsnip: What if I said that this happens also on my Ubuntu 8.04 iso when I have previously used that ISO to install before flawlessly? [16:37] w1nt3r: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [16:37] im sure i remember something like that [16:37] ActionParsnip: /etc/apt/sources.list --> this is what I have right now: http://eugeneciurana.com/pastebin/pastebin.php?show=42960 [16:38] ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-dekstop >> Couldn't find package ubuntu-dekstop ? [16:38] * xfact is back (gone 00:01:41) [16:38] FlameTai1: its still worth md5 testing so you KNOW that the data you are using is good. A bad ISO will cause issues [16:38] !> [16:38] Tyeu: in the shell, it is for redirection, not related to 'rm' at all [16:38] I've upgraded to Lucid an a UNR netbook, and everytime I open a window it gets minimized within seconds. Has anyone here seen this problem? I can't find it online. [16:38] on a UNR netbook* [16:38] does ubuntu support DEP and ASLR? [16:38] ActionParsnip: So I'm looking for an alternative to the very first entry, us.archive.ubuntu.com :\ [16:38] * pr3d4t0r googles. [16:39] wise_crypt: then you should be ok, you may find some of the apps you use rely on gnome-desktop-data. Try starting the uninstall then read what else it will remove [16:39] w1nt3r: no problem [16:39] where to get asus mother board help for ubuntu please? [16:40] Hello :) where can i find qualaty themes to ubuntu 10.4? [16:40] ksbalaji: motherboards should not give any problems with linux... what do you have problems with ?

What to do? [16:41] BrixSat: theres the bisigi theme ppa too. It has some nice themes [16:41] nvidia settings and system settings both think I'm at 1024x768, but it's not so [16:42] ksbalaji: long beep usually means bad ram [16:42] uros: from what I've heard, tor is slow because people use it for what it wasn't intended (bittorrent downloads). [16:42] ksbalaji: try unplugging the cd/dvd ? sounds like there may vbe a cable/bios/cd issue.. also. [16:42] hey guys,,, i'm skype chatting to an intern in an office who's got some basic django issues, i'm trying to help him through some django basics,, would be hella easy if i had a shared desktop with him,, any easy way to do that in ubuntu, i think his is karmic, [16:42] i'm on lucid here [16:42] hudnix: reinstall the nvidia driver [16:42] ActionParsnip: where can i find it? [16:42] ActionParsnip: can help with the bug with intel 8xxx card in gnome so here goes ubuntu till maverick [16:42] NET||abuse: both ubuntu? [16:42] ksbalaji: that's have nothing to do with linux. is a hardware error ask in #hardware [16:42] i have a vpn to the office network directly and i know his ip, so thats useul. [16:42] *lubuntu [16:43] jrib, yeh, he's running in a virtualbox vm on windows host, but it's ubuntu karmic vm on his machine. [16:43] yeah, but it not so slow as to make it useless... i know it slows down your connection, but to the point that you can use it? [16:43] BrixSat: you could have websearched for it but here's a link for you http://ubuntumanual.org/posts/177/eyecandy-themes-for-ubuntu-download-via-launchpad-ppa-repo-and-be-safe [16:43] ActionParsnip, I cleaned ram. Dr_Willis I shall remove DVD and check. erUSUL That iss why I wanted to check with asus chatroom. [16:43] wise_crypt: what is an intel 8xxx ? [16:43] uros: I only know what I've heard, haven't used it. [16:44] ActionParsnip: video card [16:44] NET||abuse: I haven't used remote desktop in a while but there's a simple way to do it through the menus. Also see: /msg ubottu vnc [16:44] wise_crypt: whats the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [16:44] uros: you can ask in #tor [16:44] my problem is that it is just soo slow, that i get a timeout when trying to load a page [16:44] hi all, on my laptop my internal soundcard is broken, i have an usb soundcard and want it used by default some programs offer options to use it, but others don't, didn't find anything in bios to deactivate the broken one, can it be done by system/config or something ? [16:44] uros: why not just not use tor.... [16:45] ActionParsnip: 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [16:45] ActionParsnip: lshw -C video [16:45] ksbalaji: http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml [16:45] wise_crypt: both are fine, whats your issue? [16:45] ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FvFCqrvt << is it done yet [16:46] ActionParsnip: uros mentioned he's in China. He may need it to get around the filtering there. [16:46] yo [16:46] Hey all, if Ubuntu is installed on top of Windows (ie wubi), can the Windows installation be removed, without disrupting Ubuntu? [16:46] sjm: gotcha [16:46] MontyCarleau: No. [16:46] ActionParsnip: my issues can not run gnome with visual effect (better use lxde for dekstop if can't run them ) [16:46] anyone use empathy? what does it mean when you get a pop up box in empathy that says ' requested a subscription' ? [16:47] MontyCarleau: ive seen guides/tools to convert the wubi install to a normal install.. but never done it - I hate wubi :) [16:47] wise_crypt: You might find that there are a couple different versions of the intel driver and if you find the one that works best, use it and blacklist it so that it does not get wipped and upgraded. [16:47] hola [16:48] Dr_Willis: If you deleted all Windows files and converted the fs to ex3 (and edited the MBR, etc.) what would be the difference? [16:48] wise_crypt: If it works good without visual effects, then just don't use visual effects. [16:49] usr13: do you use intel ? [16:49] MontyCarleau: wubi install is inside a 'file' on the windows drive. You have to get it to the HD some how.. === trythil is now known as yipdw [16:49] now my mother board started a long beep. How to diagnose power supply problm? [16:49] MontyCarleau: plus the actuall booting of the wubi setup is handled by the windows bootloader tools. [16:49] wise_crypt: On my laptop yes. But on my desktop(s) I have Nvidia. [16:49] * FlameTai1 sighs [16:49] hi Dr_Willis [16:49] I'm about ready to give up -.- lol. [16:49] wise_crypt: And I do not use visual effects on the laptop. [16:50] Hi [16:50] ksbalaji: check the MB's manual to see what the sounds mean. [16:50] usr13: the bugs come after another ( i learn it by reading launchpad bugs about intel cards) [16:50] I'm chinese. [16:50] Dr_Willis, yes. I almost forgot. [16:51] I know you are Chinese,haha [16:51] lee [16:51] xixi~ [16:51] Dr_Willis: winMd5Sum just keeps freezing on me so I can't do an MD5 check on the 10.4 ISO =| [16:51] wise_crypt: Yes. The intel chips work fine as long as you don't try to do advanced / fancy stuff. [16:51] FlameTai1: theres other md5sum tools out for windows. [16:51] ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FvFCqrvt << have i done yet ? or any other think that i should remove [16:51] every time i try to use special effects the top bar of all windows disapear, can someone help me? [16:51] FlameTai1: or boot the iso in virytualbox and let it check itself. :) [16:52] there is a 'verify disk' item in the boot menus on the cd's isent there? I cant rember. :) [16:52] you fargen bastiges [16:52] hugo: What display adapter are you using? [16:52] I can't remember either [16:52] nvidia 8400GS [16:52] !md5sum [16:52] 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 [16:53] hugo: Fully updated? [16:53] I think I'll go with the virtual box check, although what is the new tool for MD5 sum now? Do you know Dr_Willis? [16:53] New tool? No idea. [16:53] usr13: i think i'm good with lxde [16:54] Oh you said other [16:54] ^-~ [16:54] Nvm [16:54] yes i think so, how can i check properly? [16:55] I cannot see the title bar for any windows, can somebody help me to get it bback? [16:55] by title bar i mean the bar on which the close maximize things appear [16:55] hugo: sudo apt-get upgrade [16:56] anyone else having problems with ata freezing, so your dvd drive will read, then stop randomly giving an i/o error on a brand new drive? [16:56] yes, my system is updated [16:57] i'm trying to install adobe air, and have downloaded a .bin file. how do i use this? [16:57] StrangeCharm: sh blah.bin [16:57] obscurant1st: probably Metacity (the window manager) crashed; press Alt-F2 and enter: metacity [16:58] StrangeCharm: hmm.. odd. when i clicked on a adobe air program url. it auto instralled air for me. Worked very well.. i was amazed. [16:58] StrangeCharm: make it executable, and execute it [16:58] StrangeCharm: or chmod +x blah.bin; ./blah.bin [16:58] thank you pejay [16:58] hugo: Don't know then. May need to run one of the nvidia tools to fix it. [16:58] Dr_Willis: yes, it's normally done over the air [16:58] obscurant1st: try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' [16:58] ok so do I need to format my usb before i make liveusb? [16:58] night: the installer tool can do that niormally [16:58] hugo: Are you runing proprietary Nvidia driver? [16:58] schlaftier, thx mate, but everytuime I rebopots this is not coming, now when i entered metacity it started working [16:58] Dr_Willis: the usb-creator right? [16:58] my start menu froze, how do i restart my start-menu? [16:58] so should i include it in start up applications? [16:59] hi [16:59] no, i'm using the open driver [16:59] can any one help me with application text encoding ? [16:59] [{½¼¼¹€#¼½#### [16:59] Dr_Willis, that si ple metacity command worked, but everytime i rebots my windows appear without the title bar, so should i include it in the start up programs? [16:59] simple* [17:00] hugo: Oh, well then leave the special effects alone. (I do not think it works with OS driver.) [17:00] to what fs should i format my usb key? [17:00] help, my start menu is froze and i cant get up [17:00] night: fat32 [17:01] btw this problem started coming when i installed Catalyst 10.03 [17:01] ty [17:01] and i afraid that its not completely removed [17:01] mhmmm, so I just installed the latest updates via aptitude, went away from my desk so I locked my gnome session... I get back and there's a gnome-screensaver-dialog message that says "You've been p0wn3d! :)" on my screen... anyone care to fathom a guess about what caused that? [17:01] ok, thanks [17:02] rmatte: a message left from the lockscreen? [17:02] when I unlocked the message was in the center of the screen [17:02] and the title of it was gnome-screensaver-dialog [17:03] I'm on a secure network so I doubt that my workstation would have gotten hit from the outside [17:03] unless some malicious code somehow made it in to the recent updates [17:03] rmatte: if you lock your screen now, and wiggle the mouse after it's locked, there's a leave message button. try it. [17:04] rmatte: Is it from xmessage? [17:04] yo yo yo [17:04] if i am using grep how can i search for 'this' or 'that' like cat myfile.txt | grep 'this' > this_only.txt .. .. how could i do the same looking for that? [17:05] lxsys: yeah, that's supposed to be a comfort for users! Knowing someone was in your cube, at your keyboard... :) [17:05] lxsys: ahhhhh, I'd never used that before, one of my coworkers must have done that :P [17:05] obscurant1st: install the tool 'fusion-icon' and run it. and use it to select metacity as your window manager, OR right click ont he desktop, changewallpaper, -> last tab (effects) -> Select NONE , that might get it all straightend out [17:05] lxsys: thanks [17:05] rmatte: it's ok.... it freaked me out first time I discovered it too. [17:05] lol [17:06] rmatte: now is the time to plan your revenge. :) [17:06] everyone here uses windows boxes, too easy [17:07] any help about application encoding ? [17:07] rmatte: send them all a broadcast message to let them know that the Internet will be down for a reboot. :) [17:07] anyone use empathy? what does it mean when i get a popup msg that says " requested a subscription" ? [17:09] greezmunkey: haha, nice [17:09] for real?!?! the 64 bit flash player is STILL broken (cannot click mouse inside) in Lucid?!? [17:09] mbeierl: it's working fine for me on my 64bit install [17:10] Hi is there a shorter version of rm? [17:10] Tyeu: funny [17:10] rmatte: ? [17:10] mbeierl: works for me too, but only after a fix/workaround. [17:10] Tyeu: ehm... you want a one letter command? [17:10] oh, that was a serious question? [17:10] LjL: Yah, like > or something [17:11] lxsys: what's the workaround? [17:11] Tyeu: there isn't. [17:11] pretty sure rm is as short as it gets when deleting files or directories [17:11] LjL: Can I make one? [17:11] Tyeu: you can make an alias, sure. [17:11] Had a RAID5 array fail to be mounted upon reboot after a power outage. Logged in via recovery mode, and remarked out the mount point in /etc/fstab. Need to remount, but it says the device doesn't exist. What is my next step? [17:11] * FlameTai1 sighs [17:11] aliases can be added to your bash profile [17:12] I really wish I could get this to install -.- [17:12] Tyeu: clarify what you mean by shorter. :) rm is too long a command? egads.. [17:12] * rmatte agrees with Dr_Willis [17:12] Dr_Willis [17:12] ActionParsnip: so i re-dl'd, checked hash, it matches the one on site and still got same problem. I select boot from usb in bios, and it justs stops on screen that has "GRUB" written on it in top left corner [17:12] is there is any admin or mod here to help me ?? [17:13] !ask | mahmoud [17:13] mahmoud: with what? [17:13] mahmoud: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:13] FlameTai1: [17:13] mbeierl: it's part of bug #410407 and the workaround I tried is at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-flash-is-not-recognizing-mouse-clicks.html [17:13] i ask about text encoding [17:13] how to change it [17:13] mahmoud: that does not require an op. [17:13] ??? [17:14] i dont uderstand u [17:14] hw to know cpu temp to monitor? [17:14] Dr_Willis: Do you know why I'd be getting this error? http://i46.tinypic.com/153pcp3.png [17:14] for ex how to it with gedit ? [17:14] ksbalaji: look into lm-sensors [17:14] Sorry forgot I didn't have the link copied lol [17:14] What is the command to down all network interfaces? [17:15] i am getting Jerky playback of videos using the H.264 codec on my netbook which features Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics. Can anyone help me?? [17:15] And it won't go away after I try it [17:15] Tyeu: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop [17:15] Like now it's stuck there -.- [17:15] so can someone help me why booting from liveusb gets me stuck on some black screen that says only "GRUB" and nothing else? [17:15] ?? [17:15] FlameTai1: thats a message on the windows os? No idea what it means.. looks rther typical of the useless windows error messages ive seen befor. [17:16] Well it happens when ever I run the Wubi installer Dr_Willis lol [17:16] Tyeu: That may down the interfaces, it would certainly bring all networking to a halt. [17:16] greezmunkey: that won't disable console access right? [17:16] FlameTai1: ive never figured out the Logic of "Cancel, Try Again, Continue" - Not sure how Contiune differs fro,m Try again :) [17:16] I've added a launcher to my desktop that has the command sudo vim /etc/hosts ... but nothing happens when I open it. [17:16] Tyeu: not local access, no. [17:16] FlameTai1: i would forget WUBI even exists... [17:16] FlameTai1: use virtualbox or do a normal install [17:16] Had a RAID5 array fail to be mounted upon reboot after a power outage. Logged in via recovery mode, and remarked out the mount point in /etc/fstab. Need to remount, but it says the device doesn't exist. What is my next step? [17:16] so can someone help me why booting from liveusb gets me stuck on some black screen that says only "GRUB" and nothing else? [17:16] greezmunkey, command lm-sensors? [17:17] hi all [17:17] Dr_Willis: I know agree'd about continue and try again lawl [17:17] ksbalaji: that's the name of the apt package. [17:17] do someone know how to get a working RTL8187 driver ? [17:17] But Dr_Willis, I have a problem, I have no cd's and no $$$ [17:17] I'm getting this networking error: http://pastebin.com/5TtNRzDD :( :( [17:17] So Wubi is my only way of installing TBH [17:17] FlameTai1: virtualbox dosent need a cd.... [17:18] ksbalaji: read about it here: http://www.go2linux.org/lm-sensors-ubuntu [17:18] FlameTai1: you can install form the iso into vortiualbox.. or use a usb flash drive to make a bootable install flashdrive. [17:18] so can someone help me why booting from liveusb gets me stuck on some black screen that says only "GRUB" and nothing else? [17:18] I want it as an actual OS Dr_Willis [17:18] FlameTai1: Then you should track down a flash drive and make a bootable flash disk.. [17:18] Ah [17:18] Hmmm [17:18] I'll try that [17:18] Know any good tuts? [17:18] xD [17:18] I run Linux in virtualbox just fine. - its VERY handy [17:18] does ubuntu support ext4? [17:18] Dr_Willis: i have problem with bootable flash disk [17:18] !unetbootin [17:18] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:19] Ty [17:19] Dr_Willis: i made live usb with usb-creator from 64bit image of latest ubuntu and now when I boot it I get stuck on black screen saying "GRUB" in top left corner and nothing else [17:19] so apt-get in lucid isn't respecting the environmental http_proxy variable...and things may be fixed with newer packages...but since it's not forwarding anything out through the proxy, it can't update itself [17:19] * Rob_Z grumbles [17:20] Rob_Z: tryed HTTP_PROXY ? [17:20] yes [17:20] Hello everyone, greetings from Vegas, the problem I am now having is, every time I watch a show on hulu or national geographic, my computer totally locks up with the audio repeating around 2-3 seconds in a loop and the only way to shut my computer down is to hold in the power button, any suggestions? thanks. [17:21] Rob_Z: weird, I'm pretty sure I used that a while back and it worked. There's an /etc/apt/ thing for it too though, which you might want to try. Sec... [17:21] there are some error messages comes which i am not able to read because it just comes and goes, how can i see it? it some immedietly after selecting the Ubuntu OS from the boot menu. [17:22] so can no one help with damn live usb? [17:22] кто нибудь говорить на русском ? [17:22] hello, just wondering what the best way to mirror a directory tree is in lucid. I used to use mirrordir in hardy, but it seems to have been removed due to bugs [17:22] !ru | shaitanych [17:22] shaitanych: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [17:22] Rob_Z: "Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.1.1:3142/";" (without the outer quotes) in /etc/apt/apt.conf (or a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ ) is what I have [17:23] ciao [17:23] Rob_Z: wild guess: perhaps you have http_proxy set in your user's env, but sudo is stripping that variable so apt-get no longer sees it? [17:23] ciao come stai [17:23] BCMM_, yes it does [17:23] ola [17:23] ok [17:23] night: try making it with Unetbootin perhaps. Ive had cases where some programs/flashdrives/pc's just seem to hate each other [17:23] is there somewhere information on how to get RTL8187 ? [17:23] Hi. Can anyone please explain why xubuntu is faster than ubuntu? Does it lack lots of ubuntu options? [17:23] Rob_Z: if that's it something like "sudo env http_proxy=$http_proxy apt-get ..." would work [17:23] guys what is the command to generate xorg.conf [17:23] because the drivers of ubuntu 10.04 and others, really suck [17:23] natrixnatrix89: its lacking GNOME and using XFCE instead.. thats basically why [17:23] they are unable to connect to 10m ap's [17:24] natrixnatrix89: last i tried it - i dident find it atha much faster.. but it depends on yoru machine specs i guess [17:24] Dr_Willis: so I cant use any gnome apps? [17:24] apparle, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [17:24] marienz: that did it [17:24] Thank you [17:24] natrixnatrix89: incorrect.. You can run any gnome apps you want.. or any kde apps really.. they will just use/need whatever support libs and stuff. [17:24] np [17:24] how can i see the calender of september 2010? [17:24] marienz I had the enviromental variable setup on login, it worked in Karmic, but not lucid [17:24] Dr_Willis: oh. thanks.. [17:25] jungli: you could use the 'cal' command [17:25] cal 9 2010 [17:25] there are some error messages comes which i am not able to read because it just comes and goes, how can i see it? it some immedietly after selecting the Ubuntu OS from the boot menu. [17:25] How do you burn cds? brasero seems quite glitchy.. [17:25] Old-skool shell commands for the win :) [17:25] thanks Rob_Z croppa [17:25] Hello is there some way I can gain access to my gnome session when I only have terminal access to my machine? [17:25] natrixnatrix89: i normally use k3b [17:25] natrixnatrix89: i prefer k3b .. but it does require about 300MB of libraries [17:25] emergion_: you are sshing in, and want to access teh allready running desktop? [17:25] thanks. Is gnomebaker any good? [17:25] Rob_Z: "sudo env" (to see the env apt-get sees) may also be interesting [17:26] natrixnatrix89: try it and see if it does what you nead. [17:26] Dr_Willis, Yes, actually I just want to log out of my empathy facebook session lol [17:26] thanks for advices [17:26] the sudo env also worked [17:26] emergion_: you could ssh in and restart the GDM service. that will force X to restart. or kill the empathy program via the cli. [17:26] Rob_Z: over here sudo does indeed strip http_proxy. You can probably do something in /etc/sudoers to change that. [17:26] Dr_Willis: What if my Bios doesn't have a boot from usb option? lawl [17:26] odd, must be something new in lucid [17:26] FlameTai1: then you are out of luck i guess. and got to use a disk. [17:26] Rob_Z: (I tried "http_proxy=kittens sudo env|grep http_proxy" and got no output) [17:26] Dr_Willis, I tried to kill my Empathy by the CLI but it would not die? [17:26] arvind_khadri: what about this for generating xorg.conf? Same thing? ::sudo Xorg -configure && sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf - thoughts? [17:26] fml [17:27] xD [17:27] makes some sense, sudo does strip that out...but stuff is working now [17:27] hello, just wondering what the best way to mirror a directory tree is in lucid. I used to use mirrordir in hardy, but it seems to have been removed due to bugs. I basically want to mirror a directory (without rewriting all files) periodically as a backup [17:27] emergion_: no idea. I dont use the tool. 'sudo service gdm restart' will force X to restart. :) (hard core) [17:27] Any way to burn it to a disk with things already on it that's not closed and use that? [17:27] the config file would be the better bet since i'm not the only one on the box. [17:27] rampageoberon: rsync [17:27] lol never [17:27] ill just leave it on for today [17:28] damn cheapo routers :( [17:28] Why can't I get access to my desktop? Surely that would not be to complex [17:28] ?? [17:28] phisher1: thanks, let me read up on rsync [17:28] emergion_: if you had gnome desktopp shareing allready ENABLED - then you could.. [17:28] emergion_: but since you dident enable it beforhand.. that makes it harder. [17:29] Dr_Willis, Oh wel :) [17:29] Thanks anyway [17:29] I dont know of a command line way to ssh in and turn on the desktop shareing. [17:29] there proberly is a way. :) i just dont know it. [17:30] boa tarde a todos! [17:30] Dr_Willis: Is there any way to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04? [17:30] Será que podem me ajudar com o Samba? [17:30] in schat when i add a channel to favorites by right-click and "add to favorites" it never takes [17:31] !pt | rodrigo [17:31] rodrigo: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [17:31] schat = xchat [17:31] rampageoberon: You might also be interested in a custom backup script run from a crontab job, maybe onto a USB drive. [17:31] FlameTai1: Yes; update-manager -p [17:31] Sweet [17:31] * FlameTai1 goes to install 8.04 using an old disk he found [17:31] lol [17:31] BBL guys wish me luck [17:31] =D [17:31] FlameTail: or sudo do-release-upgrade [17:31] rampageoberon: Here is an example: http://www.xs4all.nl/~voorburg/backup.html [17:32] usr13: ah thanks, a script of some sort is jus twhat i'm after. had written one for mirrordir earlier [17:33] lxsys: thanks! that fix worked like a charm! [17:33] lxsys: (for the flash player) [17:33] I'm trying to join 2 .zip files, how do i do it? when i try to extract them I get this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rK6zvCsR [17:33] medan [17:34] rampageoberon: Hers's another to look at: http://www.jarrodgoddard.com/linux-web-hosting/a-linux-backup-script-using-the-bash-shell [17:34] mbeierl: you're welcome :) [17:34] How do I find out who is responsible for packing a certain software for the repos? [17:34] ManDay: aptitude show packagename ? [17:35] Actually === FlameTai1|Sleepi is now known as FlameTai1 [17:35] usr13: thank you :), time to read and implement [17:35] I got one more question guys [17:35] erUSUL, "Maintainer:" ? [17:35] emergion_: here's an interesting post about enabling remote desktop via commandline: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.networking/2003-10/0773.html [17:35] Anyway to use the 10.04 install iso to upgrade from 8.04 instead of having to redownload the whole thing? [17:35] Ubuntu Devlopers, thats kind of general [17:35] I'm trying to join 2 .zip files, how do i do it? when i try to extract them I get this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/rK6zvCsR anyone got any ideas? [17:36] ManDay: what is your goal? [17:36] Durf: file /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip [17:36] Figure out when the new version is going to be packed mnemon :P [17:36] spider [17:36] sorry mneptok [17:36] usr13, yes? [17:36] Durf: unzip /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip [17:36] okay usr13 [17:36] any one with an Graphic card ati radeon x2300 ? [17:36] ManDay: then look up the package on Launchpad, and ensure the backports repo is enabled on your machine [17:36] greezmunkey, Thanks VNC that is a good idea [17:37] usr13 it fails [17:37] Durf: file /media/truecrypt1/WFP/WiFoPa21.zip [17:37] mneptok, why the backports repo? [17:37] is there any tool to find and delete all the double files in my hard driver? [17:37] It gives me this error http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/T3V6CzcC usr13 [17:37] fslint package [17:37] emergion_: yeah, I ran a locate on krfb on my system, seems like there's a lot of .png files, and one (potential) executable. [17:38] ouyes: fdupes [17:38] usr13 is unzip the same as extract? [17:38] greezmunkey, ok well I will get to it thanks again! [17:38] unzip is the extraction of a .zip [17:38] ManDay: because you will not get updates just for a version bump in regular repos. only security and stability fixes are applied to running releases. [17:39] just upgraded to 10.04, now FF java plugin seems to have problems. Any idea why? [17:39] emergion_: here's the 411 on remote access: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_Ubuntu_Linux_Desktop [17:39] ManDay: Ubuntu is not a rolling release. [17:39] jrib, thank u [17:39] usr13 any ideas? [17:39] and fan is blowing like crazy [17:39] ok, but can i not just keep up with the current version - not get backported fixes? [17:39] @mneptok [17:40] cause java is at 98% hmm [17:40] Durf: unzip will list, test and extract compressed files in a ZIP archive [17:40] i am wondering why editing boot menu is so hard in grub [17:40] Durf: see: man unzip [17:40] lilo is many times more simple than grub [17:40] usr13 what do you mean? [17:40] and doing same work [17:41] e01: it's a pons asinorum: if you can't figure out how to edit the menu, you shouldn't be editing the menu. [17:41] usr13 wait a se [17:41] usr13 wait a sec [17:41] greezmunkey, thanks VNC is the goods :) [17:42] Just upgraded my mother's laptop with ubuntu 10.04. She had the UNR interface (I installed it manually since I find it easyer for her) and now it's realy, realy slow. I had this problem before and I know there is a fix, I just can't find it trough google (nor remember what I did in the first place). ATI Graphic card. [17:42] any input? [17:42] ManDay: the backports repository is exactly for that. backporting newer versions. [17:43] *The menu* is slow, the computer is just fine [17:43] sipior, do u know some gui util to add xp to grub menu? [17:44] mneptok, backporting, if im not mistaken is introducing a limited set of feature (mostly hipri fixes) from newer versions into older version (say, the regular version in the repos). i would like to get the full new package tho, i assume i cant get that from a repo called "backports", could i? [17:44] e01: i don't, no. unless you count gvim as a "gui util". [17:44] Hi everyone, I upgraded to 10.04 Lucid x86 Desktop from Karmic, and my Intel graphics chipset quit supporting 3d accel, even 'glxinfo' reports no GLX on screen 0:0 and it segfaults at the end. Do you think the old firmware is still kicking around somewhere, and I need to remove it or something? dmesg makes it look like it falls back the vga16fb driver. What do you guys think? [17:45] I have no xorg.conf btw [17:45] Hi, i cant get my wireless card to work. it says device not ready [17:46] sipior, :) i think that gvim is from the tools not the utils :P [17:46] MgMt: step #1 would be to look in system -> admin -> hardware drivers to see if it needs special drivers [17:47] i did that and it says there are none, but i remember in 9.04 it needed broadcom drivers [17:48] Durf: To use zip do this: zip archive-file.zip file1.zip file2.zip flile3.zip [17:48] *Q* What is the advantage of vesa drivers vs. the other video drivers available? Compatibility? === robin is now known as Guest57176 [17:48] !broadcom > MgMt [17:48] MgMt, please see my private message [17:48] usr13 put that in terminal?

Im missing it :( sorry for the small picture [17:56] why is ubuntu telling me it wants to do a partial upgrade? Why is it wanting to upgrade at all, when Im already on 10.04?

[18:48] rhkfin, im not sure but i think you might be stuck with using the usb boot disc creatore... although you could try running the non-ose version of Virtualbox and mounting the usb drive as a VMDK then installing ubuntu on that VMDK with virtualbox running as root [18:48] Firefishe: What is the problem you are trying to remedy? [18:48] Firefishe: Are you in a graphical environment? [18:49] dtx...yes, but I can drop to a CLI if necessary [18:49] airtonix: autch.. [18:49] dtx: I'm currently in xfce, I normally use kde, and just upgraded to 4.4.4 SC [18:49] Firefishe: If you are in a graphical environment what is the problem? [18:49] no one? === Toyo is now known as cam [18:49] rhkfin, first thing you should do is install the non-ose version of virtualbox from the virtualbox website. [18:49] dtx: When I try to log into kde, it starts to load, but crashes and drops me back to the login screen. [18:50] trism: prolem solved, i disabled javascript ;-) and i think this is from cache [18:50] onetinsoldier: The installation also failed; I can't install or reinstall.

[18:50] onetinsoldier: The installer also wants to run the pre-removal script :\ [18:50] airtonix: does the non-ose have features that ose doesn't,that matter in this case? [18:50] I cannot use a fax/modem? [18:50] dtx...well, I upgraded from karmic to lucid...let me try that and see if it works, there may be some files missing.l [18:50] missing [18:50] Firefishe: probably, I had to do that [18:51] onetinsoldier: Same issue with --force-all [18:51] dtx: apt-ing now [18:51] rhkfin, yes it lets you use usb devices in a virtual machine which is essential for you to use your usb drive as a harddrive [18:51] alrighty [18:51] estou agora mesmo atualizando meu 9.10 para 10.04 e vi durante a atualização algo que diz que o ubuntu não mais dá suporte ao compiz-extra vou ficar sem o compiz então?

[18:53] rhkfin, if you already have virtualbox isntalled from the ubuntu repos make sure to remove that first. i would also install dkms so that kernel upgrades dont cause you problems with virtualbox [18:53] pr3d4t0r: one way might be to extract the contents of the .deb file with a dpkg-deb command, however... [18:53] rruella: /join #ubuntu-br [18:53] dtx: one sec, rebooting again [18:53] pr3d4t0r: i don't know if that also give you the prerm, postinst, ect... scripts [18:53] airtonix: will do, thanks [18:54] onetinsoldier: Is there some way to nuke the installed packages and eliminate all references to this broken package there? [18:54] pr3d4t0r: another way is to edit the file where dpkg tracks installations of packages to make it so that dpkg no longer thinks the package is installed. might even be able to do that with a dpkg command [18:55] <_LessPLastic> So i upgraded to Lucid Lynx... and now my window border buttons are on the top left instead of the top right. Can I switch them back? [18:55] onetinsoldier: Heh - bright minds... OKi. [18:55] onetinsoldier: That's what I was thinking. Let me google where that file is kept.

[18:58] jrib: I'm trying to unravel this so that the package installs well from either .deb or sources.

[18:58] Firefishe: yeah, I have no clue beyond that [18:58] rhkfin, you need to create a VMDK image from your usb drive. i created a nautilus script to automate this for me [18:59] Firefishe: I just reinstalled kubuntu-desktop and it worked for me [18:59] dtx: k, I appreciate the effort [18:59] jrib: The scripts aren't there. The whole file structure below /usr/share/openqrm is gone. [18:59] I can 't get my integrated Geforce 6100 to work with proprietary drivers.

[18:59] pr3d4t0r: the path I just gave you is not under /usr/share/openqrm.

I installed the latest kernel update I got today, yet on GRUB it reports the same version as before, and I check for updates and I don't get even one. What might have happened?

[19:01] KaOSoFt: it's the same version of the kernel you had before. just a slightly new revision. so, there isn't any newer kernel for grub to boot to. it's the same version... 2.6.32-22 [19:01] dtx: I may do that [19:01] rhkfin, i just put that in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/vbox-usb-image then chmod +x it then right click the drive icon that shows on my desktop when i mount a usb drive [19:01] KaOSoFt: the difference was just a minor revsion.. -22.33 to -22.35 [19:01] dtx: thanks for the suggestion === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 [19:01] But I'm pretty sure I saw 2.6.32-35... oh well, it's working just fine === rudolf is now known as Guest37214 [19:01] airtonix: wow, neat!

[19:03] any suggestions?! [19:03] !ctrl-alt-backspace [19:03] rhkfin, the image acts like a symbolic link for virtualbox, so you still need to have your usb drive plugged in.

[19:05] !dontzap [19:05] To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [19:05] rhkfin, no you create one image for a single usb storage device... doing so exposes the whole device as a physical drive to virtualbox... therein after booting a virtualmachine with a ubuntu livecd iso you can treat it like a normal harddrive [19:05] anyone know how to configure a bgp session using quagga? [19:05] ah, ok.. [19:06] Firefishe: system>preferences>keyboard then go to the !distribution tab and then press the !option button [19:06] rhkfin, but you need to run virtualbox with gksudo first...(although its frowned upon here i think it only worked for me when i ran VirtualBox after using sudo su) you also need to add the drive image into the virtualbox media manager while running virtualbox as root [19:07] Hello people [19:07] airtonix: do I run the script for /dev/sdc or for something under /media/..?

Some times when I boot, the driver seems to initialise with the wrong resolution so my login window is offscreen and I have to reboot untill it gets the right resolution. Any ideas I have been trying to sort this out for ages [19:58] I have an USB flash drive always plugged in, and Ubuntu didn't forgot its name, so far. [19:58] but is that definitive¿ [19:58] Njh: but trust me, you want to use dh_make [19:58] i mean, are you sure that they wont change anymore? [19:59] Pici, is it safe to replace gnome-ss by xss at all? [19:59] Njh: for building you can use "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot" its fast for testing the package [19:59] iceroot: ok, thanks [19:59] Pici, as I wouldnt see anything that gnome-ss offers me which xss has not [19:59] marke19: what sort of name do they have now?

Is there a line in the config I can add? to not install new headers as well? I remember in redhat, there was a setting you could put kernel* to leave it out when up2dating. something similar for ubuntu?

[20:32] mc__: Yes, [20:32] iLuVdirtypigs: this channel is for ubuntu support - you are welcome to just listen :-) - other question should be asked in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:33] Is it possible to put several versions of Ubuntu on a single USB to use like a live cd but at the beginning choose which will run? or is that asking too much [20:33] rocket16, well it has performance improvement over 2.6.32 which is included in lucy, but I'm not sure if they will be noticeable, if you compile it yourself on the other hand than you will very likely feel a performance boost [20:33] timposey: I saw something called MultiUSB, maybe check that out [20:33] iLuVdirtypigs: If you sign in irc.debian.org, there is a #debian channel there that may be able to answer more direct questions. [20:33] Just a quick newbee question. With all this fuzz about 64bits OS'es, why does Ubuntu recommend 32bit still? [20:33] timposey: something to that effect [20:34] thank u exa [20:34] Tuncas, 64 bit still introduces some problems, some programs wont work out of the box with the 64bit version [20:34] Tuncas: Many programs only have 32 bit builds, and there is still limited support for some proprietary applications, like Flash [20:34] h00k where did you see it? [20:34] Tuncas: probably the fact that adobe flash player only exists as 32bit [20:35] glxinfo gives me a segfault, what can I do ? [20:35] hehe.. Thanks. That would sure upset some users. ;) [20:35] guntbert, well im on 64bit and flash runs without problems [20:35] Tuncas: 64 bit is very use only if >4 gig of ram. Otherwise no measurable benefit to speak of [20:35] h00k I found something called multi boot usb [20:35] Tuncas: running 64bit still lets you run 32 bit apps, but you they will have no benefit being in a 64 bit OS, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403064 [20:35] acerimmer, thats not true at all! [20:36] timposey: I think that was it, I haven't tried it yet [20:36] what is the chmod command to make all file and folders under my .wine directory read write accessible to everyuser on the system? === Las1 is now known as Lasivian [20:36] jasmuz: its a 4,1 model mac [20:36] some special programms benefit *a lot* from 64 bit, like blender which will render about 30% faster [20:36] for typical desktop usage there is no improvement though [20:36] mc__: yes, but you needed to tweak things a bit :-) [20:36] Is there a way to repair a broken UNR 10.04 on an aspire - it boots... gets as far as drawing the panel and keeps clearing the screen and trying again.. If I repair can I keep all my files? I know... should have backed them up but I was hoping Ubuntu 1 would do that... [20:37] But as a rule of thumbs, it's still safe to install the 32bit version if I don't know for sure that I need the 64bit version. [20:37] i have spent in total 10hrs with ubuntu by now, and finding it quite nice(never used linux before). I installed lampp, but the folder htdocs says it has no owner, and thus i can't make changes to it, how to proceed? [20:37] mc__: sure there can be improvements with desktop usage. [20:37] h00k, where for example, unpacking archives? [20:37] frued sudo chown [20:38] mc__: My laptop is noticeably faster even with booting, and I compared bootcharts and it was a few seconds faster [20:38] h00k the one I am looking at is a windows program [20:38] maraja: i haven't found anything on hardware support, sorry. [20:38] bsmith093: i just an hour ago figured out the sudo thing, what do you mean, chown? [20:38] h00k, really? thats a surprise for me [20:38] !chown | freud_ [20:38] freud_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

So apparently I know I guess [20:39] ah, CHange OWNer? [20:39] yes [20:40] freud_: yes, it changes owner permissions, then chmod changes file permissions [20:40] Exavion: Eclipse makes me download 335MB X) [20:40] jasmuz: i found this site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Lucid.

Any ideas I have be [20:41] en trying to sort this out for ages [20:41] spezticle, blah [20:41] pidgin segmentation fault [20:41] dragoneye: Its a very inclusive IDE, but it has a massive support base and has built in support for most languages, and if not, plugins expand the functionality [20:41] bsmith093: type in "man chown" and "man chmod" in a terminal [20:41] Need help: I have two monitors, before my problem arrived there was automaticaly alocated "black space" between my two screens in twinview. Now that does not happen anymore. Anyone know how to help? [20:41] just tell me is it chmod 777 [20:41] pidgin segmentation fault [20:41] bsmith093: then use those 2 toold to change the ownership to your user, and change the permissions to whatever you like [20:41] bsmith093: you shouldn't have to change any of those permissions...

[21:02] oly562: a new version comes in from the repos with new dependencies, apt installs the new dependencies (your new kernel/header) [21:03] jrib: ok [21:03] jrib: ic, so I should check out the repo's then. or conf file for repos. [21:04] oly562: that doesn't really make sense [21:04] jrib: is that in /etc/apt? [21:04] jrib: not that you have to point that out, but you get a gist of where im heading and why [21:04] oix: had it suspended? Are we looking at an issue with suspend? [21:04] jrib: if I knew the answer, I wouldn't be here [21:05] oly562: what are you trying to accomplish? We've already established how to stop getting new kernels and headers [21:05] I think I found what im looking for... its in /etc/apt [21:05] jrib: im not quite sure how to stop getting new kernels and headers just yet. not making total sense to me. I will let you know when it does. k [21:06] oly562: you uninstall the metapackages that pull them in. [21:06] hi [21:06] hi there, anyone knows how to activate fingerprint reader in 10.04 plz?

[21:08] oly562: yes, I said you should definitely install new kernels as they come in [21:08] check out this file... this is what I was asking for I believe originally /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05aptitude [21:08] oly562: but, I got the impression, you did not care and wanted to not do that anyway [21:09] Where can I find the folder to put irssi themes in?

I understand your comments about the "mythical" file, however, I found a file that is similar to what I was asking for, thus it seems you are not in the know about how to do such configs. in ALL linux distro there is such capabilities. either you know, or y [21:11] T3CHKOMMIE: are you trying with sun's java? [21:11] nothing personal. :) [21:12] jrib, yes i installed sun-java6-JRE on ubuntu server. [21:12] water_foul: never seen it done. I would think it's an either/or. You gdm login either shows a user list or it does not. Ask around though. might also want to check gnome or lnux channels as the question isn' t ubuntu specific [21:12] oly562: you are contradicting yourself. You just told me you want new kernels because of my advice. Now you are saying you don't want them again. [21:12] i can java -jar file.jar from my ubuntu desktop just fine... is there a special server version of JRE? [21:12] the file im referring to now is, as I get closer to answering my question is: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05aptitude or something in there. ill check and let you know [21:13] jrib: im through with you jrib, thanks, I will wait for another responder or figure it out myself [21:13] how can I view my windows partition from ubuntu 10.4? [21:13] oly562: that file has nothing to do with your question [21:13] hello, I am running eclipse on kubuntu 10.04 and it gets stuck at the splash screen. It was working fine few days back.

I have a display connected via DVI and one via DisplayPort. They are both working... What I find odd is that my "left" screen is my default.

[21:18] Yeah I have that, I am a semi comp noob xD [21:19] J_Dubyew, what do you mean by "atonce?" [21:19] usr13, I plan to try to walk them through adding the vert and horiz options to their xorg.conf, but that isn't going to help them install 10.04 if the CD just gives them a blank screen. [21:19] Where you can have totally separate desktops at once? [21:19] I am going to do a fresh install of kubuntu lucid 10.04 LTS 64 bit. I need to choose a file system type, and would enjoy some advice on this issue. [21:19] on one display or using alt-right-arrow to shift among them? [21:19] !compiz|J_Dubyew [21:19] J_Dubyew: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [21:19] Alt right arrow [21:19] J_Dubyew, like the cube? [21:19] Yeah [21:19] cube is kewl [21:19] Hi, How do I run a su command with another username wihtout requiring a password? [21:19] its there, just goto the task bar and add more desktops, 32 max if you like [21:19] J_Dubyew, install compiz manager and enable the cube. [21:19] usr13: well, if you could enable it and test, if the Audacious will hang after you pause and try to play another song [21:20] ctrl + alt + (left or rigt) to switch between workspaces (desktops) [21:20] I know how to do that for sudo and for ssh, but just su i dunnot [21:20] How do I add mor edektops xD [21:20] Hey all. How can I change the cursor theme on ubuntu 10.04.? it keeps using DMZ-White. I have restarted. anyone? [21:20] I prefer the circle vs cube [21:20] Control alt left and right worked [21:20] thanks [21:20] be right back [21:20] and use compiz to do that [21:20] yw [21:20] hemant_: why don't you want it to require a password? [21:20] those are simple linux cmds lol but hey we all had to learn them at some point === Jack666 is now known as jungli [21:20] jrib: coz i have 2 user acounts and both belong to me, [21:20] thowe: Login and take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:20] is there 'startup disk creator' for karmic? (trying to make bootable pen) [21:20] thowe: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:20] yes brontosaurusrex [21:21] hemant_: you can use sudo -u . Is that what you want? [21:21] Hey all. How can I change the cursor theme on ubuntu 10.04.? it keeps using DMZ-White. I have restarted. anyone? [21:21] brontosaurusrex: usb startup disk creator, should be under system > administrator at the bottonm [21:21] thowe: Boot from HD, login and do: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:21] brontosaurusrex: a little buggy but works once you get the hang of it [21:22] usr13, They can't log in. They have no video [21:22] Back gonna have this on it's own desktop =D [21:22] No grub, no login. It goes black after post [21:22] at still prompts me for the password [21:22] thowe: You say it boots to black screen? === marc__ is now known as Guest75804 [21:23] hemant_: it prompts for your sudo password, not the user's [21:23] thowe: You say it boots to black screen? Any words printed on the black screen? [21:23] jrib: nvm got it, I ran sudo su - [21:23] jrib: that worked. [21:23] I think it is booting, based on what they are telling me. I can get them to boot with a 6.10 CD and then mount the filesystem. Booting with 10.04 CD also is just black. [21:23] hemant_: the only reason that didn't require a password is because your sudo password was cached from just using sudo... [21:23] J_Dubyew: im still trying to figure out how to name each desktop, like company A, company B. such that it pops up in a nice little flashy graphic like old windowmaker did [21:23] on suse [21:23] gabriel_: System>Preferences>Appearance>Theme>Customize>Pointer [21:23] hemant_: run "sudo -k" and try it again to check [21:24] usr13, SOmething about the monitor. I will need to get more details tonight. It takes a long time to walk my father through any shell commands :) [21:24] thowe: I'm asking what happens when you boot from HD. [21:24] jrib: I know what you are saying, but it was not the sudo password that i was being prompted for [21:24] black. [21:24] Nice and yeah I am totally new to Ubuntu only got it today xD [21:24] after post. bbiab.... [21:24] thowe: sudo Xorg -configure [21:24] hemant_: yes, it was the password for the user you executed sudo with [21:24] apm [21:24] acerimmer, did that and restartd, but it doesn't change, only when I open firefox and when I edit a line in open office. [21:25] jrib: no it was not :) [21:25] thowe: See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [21:25] hemant_: unless you've modified your sudo somehow, it was [21:25] jrib: ok well it was, but after that it again prompted me for te users password. [21:25] hi there, anyone knows how to activate fingerprint reader in 10.04 plz? [21:25] hemant_: yeah, run "sudo -k" and try your way is what I meant [21:25] gabriel_: try a different theme and see if you can customize pointers. If not, something weird is happening [21:26] J_Dubyew: welcome them. your well on your way to taking back control of your computing experience [21:26] jrib: sudo -u shows me sudo usage [21:26] please, how to stay connected by using xchat-gnome (without being automaticaly disconnected, juste reading the irc) ? Thank's [21:26] acerimmer, tried them all. even downloaded new ones. [21:26] any guys here age 29 up??? [21:26] hemant_: you need a command [21:27] gabriel_: do you have ubuntu tweak? [21:27] jrib: ok this is what i did "sudo -u su" [21:27] chat96505: what makes you think, that age is inportant ? [21:27] acerimmer, no [21:27] jrib: then it prompts me for password of the current user, I enter that and then it prompts me for the password for [21:27] hemant_: no. put the command you actually wanted to execute as the other user. [21:28] jrib: Ok, so a terminal? [21:28] question - is there a switch in apt-get to override the kernel from updating yet updates other programs instead? [21:28] hemant_: example: sudo -u USER echo hi [21:28] gabriel_: ok. there's a gdm lockdown in there. sorry don't know what else to suggest.. keep asking [21:29] acerimmer, ok thanks m8. [21:29] kinda like a filter? [21:29] how to stay connected by using xchat-gnome ? I searched in menus, preference, but nothing related to that. Thks [21:29] ic in synaptic man page there is a switch -f for filtering [21:29] or point to a filter settings file [21:29] oly562: please keep your questions on one line [21:29] oh please [21:29] jrib: nvm, i think that is painful, all i want to do is login as another user, just like ssh another_user@localhost, but didnt want to use ssh, coz its just localhost always, so wanted to use su, but su prompts for password, with ssh, i can getaway with using authorized_keys, so i am trying to find out a su equivalent. [21:29] lol === shade__ is now known as \shade === \shade is now known as \shade\ [21:30] hemant_: chutiye === steaminc is now known as SteamInc [21:30] hey im in lucid, im trying to build-dep for xbmc 'apt-get build-dep xbmc' outputs unable to find source package for xbmc... [21:30] Exavion: Do you know how you can zoom text in the "Help - Eclipse" window? Its so tiny now, i have to sit with my nose into my screen to read :-) [21:30] hello how to use wireshark ? [21:30] I updated Ubuntu and part of it was an update to grub. When it came up in the installation I told it to keep the old one and left everything as it was. Then when I tried to reboot into Windows it gave an error message. So I went back into Ubuntu and reinstalled grub and now when I select Windows it just loops back to grub. [21:30] og01: you have to enable source repositories [21:30] hello [21:30] og01: System>Admin...>software sources [21:30] erUSUL: link? [21:30] has somebody installed DAVICAL on Ubuntu server 9.04 succesfully? [21:31] erUSUL: no gui sorry [21:31] i got some strange python errors [21:31] jungli: man wireshark is a good place to start. has info and links so forth in there. or their site. [21:31] jungli: try #backtrack-linux [21:31] erUSUL: i've removed gnome [21:31] og01: then you have to add a deb-src line for each deb line you have in your sources [21:31] jrib, im still getting exceptions and cant find the main class... any other ideas? [21:31] thanks oly562 zombi [21:31] Hello. I'm running Ubuntu installed through Wubi and dual-booting. I recently upgraded my version of Ubuntu and now I cannot get back in. It appears that my grub configuration has just been wiped out or something. Can anyone assist? [21:31] djrwolf: You probably accidentily installed grub to your windows bootsector, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [21:31] do i need to do anything special when installing netbook remix next to win7? [21:32] og01: /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* if any [21:32] erUSUL: i have a deb-src line for every source [21:32] #backtrack-linux [21:32] T3CHKOMMIE: my guess would be a version issue. Are the same java versions used? If so, maybe ##java can understand the error and point you in the right direction [21:32] og01: did you do a aptitude update ? [21:32] erUSUL: let me check lources.list.d/ [21:32] jungli: np [21:32] erUSUL: havnt checked in there yet [21:32] Jordan_U checking that link.... [21:32] oly562 thatscahnnel is good [21:32] og01: xbmc is not in the repos.... [21:33] davidthedrake: grub changed versions at 9.10 and screwed wubi good. perhaps it's time to consider a proper dual boot?? [21:33] og01: build-dep will not work unless there is a deb in the repos [21:33] erUSUL: orly [21:33] still no input on menu slowness? [21:33] hello :> i was giving monodevelop a try in 10.04, i noticed that when i set a breakpoint on a given line (e.g. the "hello world" line in a typical example ;>) that the debugger just skips right past the breakpoint as if it isn't there...has anyone else seen a similar problem? [21:33] I purged/reinstalled the drivers, [21:33] Anyone here familiar with XChat? [21:33] been googling for 2 days now [21:33] erUSUL: must have added them myself at some point [21:33] havent found any solution [21:33] hemant_: doubt there is one [21:34] jungli: haven't used it too much lately, no real need for it here, trying to learn other things of late [21:34] acerimmer: that sounds like a decent option but I still need to get back into my current installation. Do you know how I might achieve that and what should I look for to set up a more "proper" dual boot? [21:34] og01: then check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* or the main sources.list [21:34] any gusy here age 29 up????send me a private messege [21:34] !ot | chat96505 === chat96505 is now known as aika [21:34] chat96505: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

That's not appropriate her [21:34] here [21:34] davidthedrake: well, strongly suspect your update trashed the mbr. *should* be able to recover that. wait one [21:35] acerimmer: thanks much. [21:35] davidthedrake: What do you mean "can't get back in"? Does the GRUB boot screen show up any more? Did you install Windows after you installed Ubuntu? [21:35] Yo [21:35] erUSUL: Got it thanks, didnt know about the sources.list.d/ [21:35] Appl6: I installed Ubuntu using Wubi. I just ran an upgrade on Ubuntu and restarted. Grub comes up. I select Ubuntu. Then I just get a grub screen with a prompt and nothing else. [21:35] jrib: Do you use XChat?

[21:58] jrib, under the tab Passwords, there's a folder Passwords, I expand that, and get 5 things [21:58] BlueG1: Then the graphics driver is lacking hardware accelleration. Fear there is nothing to do, you should have used a Nvidia, Intel onboard or ATI graphics adapter... [21:58] dragoneye: Glad it helped, I didnt really read it through yet - Im actually fairly new to eclipse. Hope the IDE helps you out! [21:58] + [21:58] caac: it's probably this [21:58] anyone around that knows how to use pacemaker and drbd?\ [21:59] dragoneye: If you want more direct advice, joining #eclipse might be of some use to you [21:59] Exavion: Im on the roll ;-) Now the help is comming up in firefox where i can scroll with ctrl-mouse wheel :-) [21:59] fbianconi: But it is not Firefox I want to us....it's Google Chrome. Chrome doesn't have anything to do with the Mozilla folder....or? [21:59] bankix: well, you don't really get the option when you are fixing up an old laptop [21:59] Exavion: ill do that, tank you :-D [21:59] oooh [22:00] shiasta [22:00] quit [22:00] caac: going to get some dinner [22:00] If only if only the woodpecker sighs [22:00] BlueG1: Sorry, but blame the graphics chip vendor for not developing Linux drivers. [22:00] jrib, bon appetit [22:00] bankix: does this mean I will have to tell this guy that he must run Windows or he can't play back video because you can't get hardware acceleration on Ubuntu? [22:00] BlueG1: Nvidia, Intel and ATI/AMD do. [22:01] * skellz needs a good proxy server [22:01] bankix: well, yes, but he is stuck with an onboard Trident card [22:01] skellz: tor [22:01] Still looking for help on that Radeon Express 200M (apparently no hardware acceleration). This causes the gui to be slow as hell (glxgears get about 10fps, UNR menu way to slow to be usable). Toshiba Satellite A100 Laptop. [22:01] BlueG1: I don't see any working solution, sorry. [22:01] asadas, not a program, thank you though, specific proxy [22:02] bankix: well, thanks for the help. Not sure what I am going to do about it. [22:02] BlueG1: Due there is, IMHO, no accellerated Trident driver at all for Linux, using another distribution is no solution either. [22:02] Joker_-_: what driver are you using? [22:03] skellz: proxy.org [22:03] http://pastebin.com/miprr5ye [22:03] Exavion: ati (video-xorg-ati or soemthing) [22:03] is there a way i can install a kernel on to a mounted ubuntu instance? I can boot the installer, but not the actual installed ubuntu. === mohammad is now known as Guest93169 [22:03] hello [22:03] <|littlebear|> http://mdm4u.survey.littlebearz.com [22:03] install via .deb. it fails with chroot because it needs /proc and grub [22:03] Exavion: it was working perfectly in 9.10 [22:03] i want to connet #tabrizlug [22:03] wat can i do? [22:03] Exavion: still, I purged everything and re-installed, just to be sure. [22:03] i am in xchat [22:04] and i cant install java [22:04] Joker_-_: thats a wrapper, Im assuming its using the ati radeon open source driver. What kernel are you running? Have you tried using ATI proprietary fglrx [22:04] Exavion: nope, as all the forums suggest to use the open-source one. === calibre_ is now known as calibre [22:05] Guest93169 : /join #tabrizlug [22:05] skulski: I think we need more detailed informations. What are you trying or which problems are you facing? [22:05] Exavion: it's up-to-date kernel from repos [22:05] 2.6.32-22-generic [22:05] Guest93169: Try "sudo apt-get install default-jre". This will install Java on Ubuntu. [22:06] Joker_-_: You might need to run the radeon driver from the nightly builds from their ppa if you want to stick with that driver. [22:06] Exavion: 2.6.32-22-generic === Guest93169 is now known as mohammad6006 [22:06] skulski: Just bind mount /dev /proc and /sys within the chroot. [22:06] Jordan_U:: right but that doesn't allow it to access grub [22:06] Exavion: what do you suggest. I don't mind what it uses realy, that's my mom's laptop. I simply want it to work. [22:06] skulski: What do you mean? [22:06] Joker_-_: which may require installing kernel 2.6.33 [22:07] guys, my me-menu is messed up, I quit pidgin and I can still change my status :S [22:07] skulski: Better bind-mount /dev and mount proc and sys like usual (mount -t proc proc /your-chroot/proc) [22:07] Exavion: no problem, any url to give me so that I can read on that and try? === para is now known as Guest58272 [22:07] Jordan_U:: part of the kernel .deb is a post-install hook that wants to update my grub configuration. so the .deb install fails === soreau_ is now known as soreau [22:07] skulski: With a "breathing" dev grub will install in most cases. [22:07] bankix:: ah that could be. [22:08] Anyone knows a easy-to-use c++ compiler [22:08] Make sure the config is set properly as this page suggests, Joker_-_ . https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [22:08] bankix:: sure. I have a x201 that crashes when the KMS kicks in with the kernel and drivers supplied by 10.04. The kernel parameters to stop this (xforcevesa and nomodeset) work with the install UBS stick, but not the installed copy. using text, single doesn't allow it to boot [22:08] Exavion: or anything else that you suggest I should do. I don't know much about ATI as I tend to stay as far as possible from anything with ATI written on. [22:08] skulski: update-grub should run fine within a chroot, as long as /dev /proc and /sys are mounted. [22:08] hey everybody, I'm needing to get the ips/macs of people on my network, but arp -v only returns the router address, does anyone know why it behaves this way? [22:08] ok that is probably my problem Jordan_U bankix [22:08] Joker_-_: The radeon driver should run the Xpress 200M card perfectly fine for 2D and 3D [22:08] vidalia: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [22:08] Is it possible to turn off the 'drum' noise that's played when the login screen is displayed?

[22:09] for good measure Jordan_U bankix, this is what I am up against: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554569 [22:09] Exavion: I understand, maybe it's not the main problem, but there is defenitly a problem with the video output. [22:09] but not sure why the installed version doesn't accept the same kernel parameters [22:09] Exavion: cpu usage is not that high (bout 3-15%) [22:09] can anyone help with airodump-ng [22:09] the print screen button on my keyboard opens a dialog [22:09] trelayne: applications > accessory [22:09] trelayne: applications > accessory > take screenshot [22:09] vidalia: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [22:10] Exavion: and the UNR menu lags (about 3 seconds behind any moove) [22:10] chazco: yes - it's in your sound preferences.

I can't find an segmentation fault in your log file. [22:10] Exavion: about 10fps with glxgears; it runs a few fps, then hangs, and so on. [22:10] acerimmer - I've got all sounds turned off in there... it's the shorter one that's played on login, not the longer one [22:10] Joker_-_: it sounds like the ati wrapper is not actually using the radeon driver, it sounds like you have no 2D or 3D acceleration enabled [22:10] how to fix it ? [22:10] how do i fix this error [22:11] Exavion: when I try the command to see what is used... let me search that command again... [22:11] How do I create a script on ubuntu. *.??? [22:11] vpnc [22:11] What happened to ipmasq package? [22:11] Exavion: glxinfo | grep vendor; I get that: [22:12] can anybody help me? with airodump-ng? [22:12] MaMoUs: First "killall pidgin", this should kill the running session. Then start Pidgin again and watch out for a panel icon or window to appear. [22:12] Server ...: SGI, Client...: Mesa project and SGI, OpenGL: DRI R300 Project [22:13] Exavion: IIRC, SGI & DRI are HW Accel, right? [22:13] trinadaddy: Try reading their wiki.

How could you? [22:14] chazco: System>Preferences>Startup Applications>Gnome Login Sound [22:14] Exavion: I simply don't know what to look for nor what to do. Just point me any direction and I'll try to investigate. I don't wanna take too much of your time. [22:14] MaMoUs: When you called "killall pidgin" you left. So are you using Pidgin at the moment? [22:15] bankix: what u mean ? [22:15] Joker_-_: I would post on the forums or peruse the ubuntu community page - It does indeed seem that your system is configured for the right driver [22:15] MrStein: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#dvd [22:15] MaMoUs: Forget about it. Can you call Pidgin now without problems? [22:15] tell now it works ok [22:16] MaMoUs: What do you mean? [22:16] bankix: but what i do if it crash again ? [22:16] acerimmer - Thanks, but i've already tried that one... it's the one that plays after login, i'm trying to stop the one that plays on the login screen. Just found online that there is no option to disable it on 9.10 (you can delete the file though). In 10.04 this is fixed (but 10.04 doesn't work for me).

She's going back to her place in 2 days... [22:16] bankix: still nothing happen [22:16] MaMoUs: There is no evidence pidgin crashed ever. [22:16] it does [22:16] it suddenly shut down [22:16] MaMoUs: What says "ps auxw | grep pidgin"? [22:16] Exavion: turns out a lot of output. What am I looking for?

[22:18] hi [22:18] can someone point me in the direction of where I can get ubuntu server cloud help? [22:18] Exavion: nope, in fact it pretty much says that everything is fine; looks like even the tv-out should work according to that output. At least it recognize it.

[22:19] Joker_-_: Im afraid I really dont know whats going on, it might be a bad xorg file or something of that nature - I would run synaptic and try removing and installing radeon and ati drivers, with a reboot each time [22:19] bankix: mmm why ? [22:19] bankix: for what i mean [22:19] MaMoUs: So I can look for the pidgin icon.

[22:23] neg. file unreadable. nautilus doesnt even see them [22:23] Joker_-_: I would atleast _try_ it - if its for your mother and she needs a working system, it might be a quick and dirty fix [22:23] do you know where it is located?

[22:43] I only get: This server is protected with the Suhosin Patch 0.9.9.1 [22:43] Joker_-_: well 2D acceleration would be enabled again with standard drivers, but have you tried glxgears? If the 3D is missing, it wont work or it wont work well [22:44] support for ebox? where can i find it? [22:44] schlaftier: yes [22:44] j2daosh: Can you double check that the router is configured for DHCP? [22:44] brontosaurusrex: upset the software isn't free? (lol) [22:44] "yes" is not a viable answer to this question [22:45] Exavion: it works, seems decent. [22:45] Appl6: it is. before i deleted network-manager, it worked just fine. i installed arping for some stupid reason and it removed my network-manager and so began the saga of trying to get internet back without having to reinstall [22:45] 549frames in 5 seconds... about 100fps [22:45] FirstSgt: upset by 'Please do not power off or unplug your machine, installing update 1/2354257' type of stuff [22:45] Exavion: 549frames in 5 seconds... about 100fps [22:45] Exavion: it sure aint that good, but it's WAY better than it was. [22:45] ebox support! [22:45] schlaftier: hard to explain. it is transparent. i can see where they should be when I maximize windows [22:46] Joker_-_: well then thats great, Im happy things worked out. Unless your mother needs up-to-date software, I would considering disabling software updates before you give it to her so she can keep a consistent system without new problems [22:46] j2daosh: Do an "iwconfig wlan0" after the essid/key setting to make sure you're associated with the access point. [22:46] where can i find ebox support? [22:46] brontosaurusrex: oh, lol [22:46] hey guys I saw a screenshot somewhere of UNR and the desktop background was some sea/jetty/pier image, anyone have a link? [22:46] Exavion: good point.

[22:47] schlaftier: i right clicked on the main pannel, then clicked add pannel, didn't do anything, so i clicked it again... i decided it was impossible to add pannels, so I went on with life, then noticed when I maximized my windows that they would not maximize all the way, and the pannels are taking up the space, but not there. [22:47] j2daosh: It will say "Access Point: " [22:47] i see that it has the essid, and the mac address to that AP is correct [22:47] hello! [22:47] FirstSgt: well, there is a way to *reset* all the panels from the command-line, don't know it by heart, but somebody will (I use Xfce, not GNOME) [22:47] j2daosh: Can you pastebin it please? [22:48] Joker_-_: no problem, i know what you mean, happy to help [22:48] well i cant pastebin wince that system doesn't have any internet at all [22:48] j2daosh: iwconfig device ap NickNameForAP [22:48] schlaftier: thanks :) [22:48] Does anyone know how I can verify that a soft-key is recognized (preferably something I can do via terminal)? [22:49] j2daosh: You don't see the "Access Point: " line in iwconfig wlan0? [22:49] !panels | FirstSgt [22:49] FirstSgt: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:49] Appl6: i only see "Access Point: 00:23:69:20:80:FF [22:49] which is the correct mac address of that AP [22:50] j2daosh: OK, that's fine. [22:50] FirstSgt: you can also go through the gconf manually and find the relevant entries [22:50] Exavion: for somne reason tho, flash doesnt look like it's working anymore. In youtube it asks for a newer version of flash, but when I try to install it trough the "Missing plugin" button, it says it's already installed...

[22:50] j2daosh: Ironically, I'm having exactly the same problem on another machine. dhclient isn't getting any offers from my router. [22:50] schlaftier: thanks a lot man [22:50] FirstSgt: doing that iwconfig wlan0 ap ESSID gives me : Interface wlan0 doesn't support IP ADDRESSES: error for wireless request : Set AP Address (8B14): [22:50] Exavion: I'd point my finger at totem/VLC...

I have a problem ... i`ve change the mouse pointer ... but it only shows when I click and drag or when I "hover" in my browser [22:51] Or any suggestions on getting better performance out of a Trident video card? (aside fro swap back to Windows XP) [22:51] where can i report this? [22:51] Exavion: I see in about:plugins that flv are handled by VLC Multimedia Plugin. [22:51] how can I fix this ? [22:51] lncoq: take it to #freenode please [22:51] thanks [22:51] Appl6: you would think networking would be stable by now [22:52] how to verify using a terminal if the user's session is locked? [22:52] FirstSgt: you're welcome [22:53] How do I suppress all these notifications about who is coming and going? [22:53] Joker_-_: I was unaware that VLC even had plugins for browsers, but yes, flv will open in VLC or gstreamer even [22:53] fixed* I just needed a metacity --replace :D [22:53] Joker_-_: Try using synaptic to remove VLC plugins (leave the player) [22:53] Exavion: I'll purge everything and reinstall...

[23:02] what can i do about? http://yfrog.com/fvdscf6958j [23:02] interesting, never noticed it before [23:02] voglster: lol, i saw... thats why I commented [23:02] ok. so i was upgrading from 9.04->9.10->10.04. i made a backup of everything but /home and /root, and apparently /var by accident. i made it to 9.10, but the system froze during the upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. can i safely restore the backup, despite it not having /var? or am i screwed? [23:02] wad, can it pxe boot? [23:02] guntbert: just ignore her/him then the trolling ways will fall on deaf ears [23:02] FirstSgt: cool down please [23:02] voglster, not sure what that is. I'll google it.

[23:04] voglster, I'll take a crack at it. Thanks! [23:04] ibqn: does the screen ract like it would a hover over (mouse is there but not visible)? [23:04] Because upgrading more than 700 mb of packages is complicated. [23:04] Black_Phantom: no ... i didn't install the updates of 9.04 before 9.04->9.10 either [23:05] Does anyone else sometimes get their CPU eaten up 100% to the point of freezing up when Update Manager runs on schedule?

I suggest you put on the live cd back up your data and clean install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It is neater. [23:06] is able to here one in German? [23:06] blackTonny: why are you logged in as root and connected to irc? [23:06] ibqn: try the i8024.reset boot option in /etc/default/grub [23:06] anyone knows? [23:07] Black_Phantom: i cannot clean install. period. what i want to know is how much will be broken if i restore the backup, the one that's missing /var.

I am recording in my 1GB device. [23:08] I cant mount my usb peripherals, its saying not authorized [23:08] Keell, anytime ;-) [23:09] blendmaster1024, I assume your backed up data is all safe, I think only the packages/softwares are now messed up. Yet it is only an assumption, am not sure. [23:09] ibqn: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset" [23:09] Black_Phantom: exactly - how broken? do most programs re-create their /var directories, or ... oh wait, an upgrade will be reinstalling all packages. awesome [23:09] ibqn: save the new file, close gedit then run: sudo update-grub [23:09] KnickLighter: that is LTS -> LTS, you can do it directly, I *heard* that the automatic upgrade will be possible after the first "point" release of lucid, some time in june/july [23:09] ActionParsnip, I do not really folow what to do with grub and how it can be related with gnome, because only the graphicla environmet fails to load [23:09] i dont no [23:09] guntbert: I placed the 8.10 sources.list now and doing a apt-get dist-upgrade [23:09] ibqn: i thought you said there was only no mouse? [23:09] can anyone help me with my problem? I cant mount my usb peripherals, its saying not authorized [23:10] ActionParsnip, i do not have a GUI at all, nothing loads [23:10] Black_Phantom: i'm usually expert at this kind of stuff, but i typoed during the backup and missed /var. otherwise, i know exactly what to do (the freeze was caused by my using the system too much during the upgrade) [23:10] wad: What OSes are running on the other computers on your network? [23:10] do i need to suicide while ubuntu is not booting??? [23:10] the question is : i have to mount a nas linux embedded, to use it with partimage, [23:10] guntbert; through do-release-upgrade it said no new release available, hence im doing the apt-get stuff [23:10] do i need to suicide while ubuntu is not booting??? [23:10] ubuntu: what do you mean!? [23:10] ibqn: gotcha, different solutio then. If you press ALT+F2 do you get the usual dialogue? [23:10] the problem is that ask for a passwd but the username shio [23:10] blendmaster1024, how much is your swap space ? [23:10] should de diofferent, how to do ? [23:10] ubuntu: no, (please ask a real question) [23:10] Black_Phantom: a lot. like a really lot. [23:10] Appl6, Well, I'm on an Ubuntu box now. The rest are Mac. [23:11] ActionParsnip, not tried, wait... [23:11] ubuntu, burn a live CD and fsck the file systems [23:11] Black_Phantom: probably about 15 gigs across three swap partitions. [23:11] KnickLighter: Are you trying to do LTS->LTS?

Debian or Ubuntu? [23:11] Keell: no linux distro is better than any other [23:11] KnickLighter: Do you have "only LTS" set for upgrading policy? [23:11] voglster: I am a web programmer. [23:11] arand; I'm not sure if its LTS - it is a standard ubuntu release that comes with the VPS whihc is provided by that hoster [23:11] Black_Phantom: i'm currently on my other 9.10 system, that i installed exactly for rescue perposes. [23:11] ubuntu: try riplinux, if you killed your grub [23:11] Keell, depends on your needs, if you are new to linux ubuntu is your best bet [23:12] Keell: each has advantages and disadvantages, there is also personal preference so there is never a best or better [23:12] Appl6, thanks! [23:12] KnickLighter: If it is Hardy 8.04 it *shold* be possible [23:12] ActionParsnip, i say have him install gentoo! ;-) [23:12] ActionParsnip: Ya, i understand. [23:12] Keell: its the same as asking "What's the best coffee from starbucks?" [23:12] KnickLighter: upgrading it to intrepid is likely not a very good idea... [23:13] blendmaster1024, well actually, once I upgraded from 8.04 to 9.10 [23:13] is there a way to do an ubuntu install via text? [23:13] voglster: will learn a lot :) [23:13] arand; If this upgradign is complete to 8.10 - I will try to do-release-upgrade [23:13] ActionParsnip, true enough... though such a time sink [23:13] Ah it's done [23:13] arand; it now found jaunty [23:13] cesurasean, yes use the alternate install cd [23:13] ok this is really annoying, what do I have to do to get MP3's to play in Banshee? [23:13] KnickLighter: By that point, you will have to go through the whole set of releases... [23:13] Black_Phantom: so ..... what are you saying? [23:13] this is usability fail [23:13] voglster: ive seen compiles for kernels on quad cores in a few minutes, as awesome!!

But I still felt that some packages/softwares were messed up. Thats why i wouldnt recommend jumping up to more than 1 version [23:14] ActionParsnip: :D i see [23:14] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:14] darkkrai: details?

It would be Very Bad if I confused the network here where I work. [23:16] ActionParsnip, im soo think about installing it on my ssd on this machine jsut for the heck of it [23:16] blendmaster1024, it does [23:16] blendmaster1024, if you seriously like seriously dont want to fresh install, try the recovery console. You can use aptoncd btw [23:16] serapath, just ask the question [23:16] to fix the broken packages [23:16] when ever i run a program in fullscreen on my laptop the bottom is clipped, my laptop is widescreen, anything in fullscreen is rendered in normal, thus chopping off the bottom [23:16] i try to make nslookup to resolve alphatest.com to my local linux computer but it doesnt work [23:16] Appl6, what's something I could google on, to see some instructions on the "special way" of unpacking the partition, etc? [23:16] ejv: If you don't mind that though, have a look at linux mint [23:17] Hi, I updated my kernel and the nfs module is not updated, and not loading, thus my machines aren't booting since I have nfs4 mounts in fstab, any idea how i can update the nfs module? [23:17] Black_Phantom: the recovery console won't load. when i get to the rescue screen, it freezes. the up and down arrows make the screen flash, and nothing else happens - i can't count my way down or anything. [23:17] hmm [23:17] i edited several config files like. ... named.conf.local, resolv.conf, named.conf.options and afterwards i restarted bind9 [23:17] I'd like to throw out a link to a thread I just posted to regarding some really obscure X/3D/nvidia (??) issues I've been having since installing lucid (clean install) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9406441#post9406441 [23:17] arand, that's uncool eh [23:17] i install gstreamer-plugins-ugly, restarted banshee, still doesn't work [23:17] :\ [23:17] gibts here German server? [23:17] darkkrai: then i'm stumped. ask again in a few minutes, maybe you'll get someone else. [23:17] serapath, you don't need bind for that, just add an entry in /etc/hosts [23:17] ejv: why is it that windows can't read or write to anything oter thn fat or ntfs despite the definitions of ext2/3/4 and other open filesystems is completely available to tem [23:17] ejv: ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:17] blendmaster1024, your packages are more than 10 gb ?

[23:18] ejv: theres a tonne of stuff linux can do that other "modern" OSes do out of the box [23:18] anyone know of a utility (preferably one run in terminal) to identify if a softkey is recognized? [23:18] thx:-) [23:18] @unop found a tutorial that said i shoul use bind9 for this [23:18] i mean for the layman, i just want my mp3 to play lol [23:18] Hammer89: xev [23:18] ejv: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [23:18] ubuntu: Do you enjoy living in amsterdam?

[23:18] it's doing magic in the terminal right now [23:18] blendmaster1024, you know aptoncd ? [23:19] Black_Phantom: i know it is. no i don't know it.

Exactly what I was looking for.

[23:20] ActionParsnip; Yeah but I'm upgrading from 8.04, lol [23:20] blendmaster1024, you saw it ? [23:20] Black_Phantom: oh, i see. i'd still prefer to avoid dumping the /etc configs and such ... i'll just back up the semi-broekn system to my massive storage partition and then restore the backup. if things go wrong, i have a different backup to restore to. and i'll check twice this time... [23:20] ejv: thats why there is a codec official page, like I said it cannot be included due to international law differences [23:21] ejv, they've already made is simple - install one package, that's it. [23:21] unop for example, i wasnt sure what to write in the place where the tutorial says xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ... i think it wants IP´s, but not sure which ones, so i gave it the local LAN ip of my ubuntu computer [23:21] works! [23:21] thx unop / ActionParsnip [23:22] blendmaster1024, well I think this solution will be best.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:22] wad: But because you already have Debian, you already have GRUB, so you should look at the "GRUB for NT" section, and copy the configuration to your current GRUB.
