[00:14] grimly, it could also be a bad wireless driver [00:14] i just hold the power button for 5 second and shut everything down [00:14] grimly, do you do anything specific when it freezes? try turning off your wireless and using your computer and see if it freezes [00:15] :oskype also gives me problems sometimes dew to the mic on my laptop [00:15] grimly: A system freeze is almost always a bug in some driver (or kernel module).

Do you think by switching off my wireless it will reslve the issue? [00:36] hey guys i need help with a quick command. I have a .txt file that i want to take all words that start with "Z" and put it into a text file on my desktop. I am using "grep -i z file.txt | and dont know what to pipe to.. [00:36] use grep [00:36] moegreen: don't pipe at all [00:36] moegreen: just > somefile [00:36] blue_anna is the post-script if-up.d? [00:37] hamz: looks like you're using LVM or "Logical Volume Manager" for managing your hardisks. Something is goofy with the setup.. I don't know LVM so someone else will have to help diagnose it.. but it's not fatal. [00:37] p1l0t, the directories in there, plus the sistema->preferencias->conexiones de red are the only ones I know of [00:37] ahh yes > i remember now [00:37] moegreen: or >> if you don't want to overwrite the existing data in the file [00:37] thanks ill give that a try [00:37] p1l0t, yes check in if-up [00:37] hey, how do I make CDs bootable? [00:37] hey [00:37] p1l0t, the UI tool should only be changing those files so I gotta think you can do it from the console [00:38] sje46: did you just burn an .iso file? [00:38] I have a live disk for another distro, but ...I don't know how to do it [00:38] blue_anna thanks will do [00:38] Scunizi, I think so [00:38] my grep command is just finding anything with a "z" in it..HOw do i designate to only find words that start with z? [00:38] Scunizi, ok, who can help with lvm? [00:38] moegreen: grep "^z" [00:38] sje46: you have to burn it as an image not data.. if you do it as data you will be able to use a file manager and see only one file on the cd.. [00:38] right on thx [00:38] moegreen: ^ matches the start of the line, $ matches the end [00:38] I have very low resolution options when using the RT kernel. How do I fix this?

[00:39] grimly, whats wrong with your skype? i didnt see [00:39] okay, Scunizi, let me try it again [00:39] I'm not sure what I did, Scunizi [00:39] moegreen, a quick way is to match on " *z" [00:40] krysis, everytime i make a call, after 10 minute the system freezes [00:40] moegreen, a quick way is to match on '\bz' is the one .. that is the correct way [00:40] sje46: pop the cd in the drive and use your file manager to look at it.. does it have only one file ending in .iso on it? [00:40] Hey. Whenever flash (in firefox) tries to go full screen, firefox crashes. [00:40] yes, it does, Scunizi [00:40] Any ideas? === UncodedReborn is now known as EntityReborn [00:40] Could someone help me with changing my login screen? [00:40] ah, grimly thats when alot of data is being transfered between the internet... hmm... [00:40] I have very low resolution options when using the RT kernel. How do I fix this? [00:40] sje46: then you burned it as data and not as an image..... are you on windows? [00:40] I'm on linux [00:41] is there a way to reverse that, Scunizi ? [00:41] grimly, put this in terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(uname -r) [00:41] I remember tehre were two options...burn the file, or burn the contents [00:41] I wasn't sure which one to do [00:41] I was using nautilus [00:41] this will install backports for wireless modules, this MAY fix your problem, but its not for every wireless card [00:41] lets hope your ucky [00:41] lucky* [00:41] sje46: nope.. toss the cd.. use brassero or k3b.. there is an option there for *image burn*.. use that option and point it at the .iso file on your machine.

[00:42] blue_anna: I don't hope people are ucky too :) [00:43] I have very low resolution options when using the RT kernel. How do I fix this? [00:43] acerimmer: thank you [00:43] brianl: np [00:43] krysis, what is this command suppose to do? [00:43] okay, ill use brasero, Scunizi . Let me get a disk... [00:43] Razion: Whether my install was from a disk or upgrade, apt-get tells me that ident and identd do not exist. I just need to know the name of the package so I can INSTALL it. [00:43] how do I get php 5.2 after upgrading to 10.4 [00:43] krysis, ok i was a bit slow [00:43] i just saw your post [00:43] rizon: My mistake. You said not working, not missing entirely. [00:44] Is it possible to move files into restricted directories using sudo? [00:45] Scunizi, ? I put the blank disk in [00:45] sje46: ok.. [00:45] it says please insert disc holding data, Scunizi .... [00:45] sje46: I don't use brassero so I'm not familure with the menu structure.. you'll have to look around. [00:45] Razion: Right, it worked before the upgrade so I suppose the upgrade removed the daemon (as my IRC eggdrop bot no longer idents, and I need it to get an ident) [00:45] hello [00:45] Is it possible to move files into restricted directories using sudo? [00:46] anyone got a free moment to help out with the very common 'black screen' problem? I've tried using the common solutions, but it just wont boot. [00:46] riz0n: aptitude search ident and take your pick. [00:46] you know how you can use xkill to kill a bothersome window? is there a commnand like that to get the process id of the app? [00:46] fillayy: default sudo on Ubuntu gives you root privileges, so yes... Depending on what you mean by "restricted" directories [00:46] okay, I'm burning the image, Scunizi [00:46] I still don't think that's the problem though [00:47] riz0n: I can't find the exact package, but if you search for it in the ubuntu software center app, there's a TON of alternatives/replacements. [00:47] sje46: are you using the image burn option? [00:47] acerimmer: That didnt work for me [00:47] I have very low resolution options when using the RT kernel. How do I fix this? [00:47] yeahm that was the only option, Scunizi [00:47] Flannel, hi! can you help with LVM?? [00:47] blue_anna: maybe wmctrl [00:47] I think I did that last time [00:47] Researching some kernel stuff - can someone explain me what a Process Image is? [00:47] sje46: not really [00:47] I think the issue is with booting, Scunizi [00:48] Razion: OK, I will startx and look around [00:48] brianl: ubuntu tweak makes it pretty easy to custom the login [00:48] acerimmer: i figured that, but i cant figure out how to change it lol [00:48] okay, the image is burnt, Scunizi [00:48] should it have taken that long? [00:48] krysis, What is backport by the way i just finish installing [00:49] how do i stop a particular piece of software (e.g. apache or nginx) from attempting to start on system boot? === realitychanger is now known as Firefishe [00:49] I am looking for instructions on setting up a box like an AP, but my nic doesn't support Master mode, so I need one that does that other mode [00:49] the backport are certain configurations that change settings on cards. Sometimes some cards might get bugs like your freezings and such, the backports changes the settings to one that will make your wireless work better. Now just restart and try downloading a big file, or use skype to call someone and see if it freezes again grimly [00:49] ChogyDan, that's a heavy tool -- xkill makes it so the next window you click will be killed, its fast and easy [00:49] I'm restarting, Scunizi , to see if this disk works [00:50] My Jack won't start in realtime mode even though I'm booted into the RT kernel.

[01:11] Scunizi: i've done that before, able to connect for a few seconds with 4220b/s download [01:11] i'm tempted to just symlink everything right now [01:12] !unrar > ubottu [01:12] gbear14275, please see my private message [01:12] do you know someone where is the config file of e-uae to open the df2 and df3 [01:12] is there anyway to see everything ive installed in the past two hours then uninstall it? [01:12] sartan: expand on what you mean by "doesn't work" [01:12] chalk: do you have the ability to plug the computer directly into the internet via a wire? you can do that and do the updates.. then try again.. sometimes network-manager is just interfearing and might work with wicd instead. [01:12] hey can anyone help me with gnome-do? [01:12] Scunizi: no, not really [01:13] thankyou [01:13] chalk: you didn't install the server version did you? [01:13] jrib: regardless of what options i put in in update-java-alternatives, chrome continually pops up openjdk when i want it to use sun-6-java, while /etc/alternatives/javaws is pointing to the right path, the browser seemingly doesn't care. [01:13] Scunizi: no, i know what i downloaded [01:13] hey can anyone help me with gnome-do? [01:13] sartan: does it work properly in firefox? [01:13] anyone got nvidia drivers working on powerpc ? [01:13] chalk: just asking.. you might be able to get the 9.10 version by using torrents.. [01:13] firefox, kongregate, nautilus. [01:14] they only see OpenJDK Java 6 web start as an option. === RBecker|AFK is now known as RBecker [01:14] sartan: (presumably since chrome isn't packaged by debian, it isn't setup to use the alternatives system) [01:14] sure, what about the other browsers. =) [01:14] !away > RBecker [01:14] RBecker, please see my private message [01:14] hey can anyone help me with gnome-do? [01:14] sartan: what is java web start anyway? Where do I only see it? How are you determining this? [01:15] chalk: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/9.10/ [01:15] how I can find other channels about ubuntu? [01:15] any help with lvm failure? [01:15] s/I/they [01:15] thanks scunizi [01:15] agony_, /list [01:15] jrib, sorry, but I can't disable it for one channel [01:15] !irc | agony_ [01:15] agony_: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [01:15] chalk: good luck [01:15] it's my script [01:15] I'm not just on this channel [01:15] RBecker: disable it for all of them, it's annoying. Instead have your script use /away [01:15] jrib: java web start is what fires up when you load up a packaged xml .jnlp file, which contains a number of resource options etc etc for firing a multipart java application hosted on the internet [01:15] usually, you'd point, click, and things would be fine, but my particular application needs some command line paramters that the openjdk doesn't support [01:16] How do i restore default audio settings... i installed some stuff that installed JACK and now my mic input isnt working [01:17] this isn't ubuntu related but does anyone know the commands in irssi to disable printing Joins/quits/parts etc??? [01:17] maybe is there anyway to see everything ive installed in the past two hours then uninstall it? [01:17] /ignore #channel joins,parts [01:17] Hey guys, after I installed the security updates today, I rebooted and now Nautilus is acting funky. When I click on "Computer" in the "Places" menu, it says Could not display "computer:". Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations. Also, the other partition on my system does not show up in the places menu, but I can mount it using Disk Utility [01:17] Thanks! [01:17] RBecker, I got that too, but only as root [01:18] How I can search the locations of programs> [01:18] ? [01:18] hmm, i can't update heap size even under sun's jre... i think i should just work on something else. at least i can manually load up javaws w/ firefox. [01:18] blue_anna, it's wonky logged on as me [01:18] agony_: why? [01:18] haven't tried with the guest account [01:18] agony_: type "locate [01:19] blue_anna, do you mean it acted weird when you logged on as root or when you did sudo nautilus? [01:19] Can anyone help me with a small mounting issue? [01:19] jasper_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [01:19] I would like to find where is the config file from e-uae [01:19] agony_, which will tell you where is the app that you can run without specifying the path. whereis will tell you all the alternates that may be available, like if you are loading the wrong version of one. locate | grep /$ will find the app when it is not in your path. apt-file search will find the apckage to install the app you never installed in the first place [01:20] so I switched my keyboard layout to Dvorak, but the keymappings are still QWERTY when using the Ctrl key [01:20] agony_: what is e-uae? [01:20] Ok well, im trying to install a game currently and having some issues with the CD rom because it's a DVD, i'v been trying to use WINE [01:20] acjoven: that's pretty weird. You're on ubuntu right, not OS X? [01:20] agony_: the config file for most things is in your home directory in a hidden directory using the programs name.. if you open nautilus and CTRL+H it will show hidden directories.. they start with a "period" [01:20] I need to find the point my Drive mounts on so i can unhide the files. [01:20] RBecker, sudo yea, it didnt want me to view the root computer: link [01:20] it does it logged on as me [01:21] I'm an administrator, and have access to sudo, but I don't login as root [01:21] jasper_: how would you unhide files? Files aren't hidden === pete_ is now known as Guest75173 [01:21] RBecker, no I can see mine -- do you keep the icon for it on your desktop? [01:21] hello guys, need to store every command entered in the terminal into a file (a file different from .history), can anybody give some clues ? [01:22] jrib: yep, ubuntu lucid. and older programs like xpdf register the keystroke locations, not identities, effectively hardcoding the qwerty layout [01:22] Dont ask me the page is telling me to do this [01:22] sudo mount -t udf -o ro,unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0/ is my command, but im not sure why its not finding it [01:22] locate search and the hidden files? [01:22] jasper_: what page..? [01:22] blue_anna, no, I don't have a shortcut, I always mount is using the Places menu [01:22] it* [01:22] http://www.ehow.com/how_4717958_install-king-dvd-ultimate-linux.html [01:22] but it's not showing up [01:22] RBecker, seems like you have a launchpad bug to report [01:22] I was thinking I was gonna have to [01:22] agony_: configuration files typically end in .conf [01:23] or .cfg in some cases [01:23] its an older one, but its all the same as the new ones in cmd's [01:23] except the darn modules blacklist I always have to rename manually :P [01:23] I'v been trying everything for hours to install this stupid thing. [01:23] RBecker: never seen that on linux.. but it could happen [01:23] thanks for the help jrib [01:23] jasper_: interesting. Anyway, what happens when you run taht command? [01:23] Scunizi, I'm gonna report a launchpad bug [01:23] nothing [01:23] it say's not found [01:24] i'v tried all possible drive names [01:24] that i know of [01:24] acjoven: so is the issue only with these older programs? [01:24] thank you ! but how you understand which .conf are the program? [01:24] jasper_, when you ls /media/cdrom0 -- it exists? [01:24] jasper_, what cd are you mounting? [01:24] checking [01:24] jasper_: pastebin exactly what is happening. And if you want me to keep my sanity please use my nick if you are addressing me [01:24] i just did a clean install of 9.1 and the upgraded immediatly to lucid. one of the things we noticed is that when you pres the up arrow key in a shell it doesnt recall previous entered syntax or commands. is that normal or is that a problem on my end? [01:24] Wrath of the lich king T.T [01:24] How do i restore default audio settings... i installed some stuff that installed JACK and now my mic input isnt working maybe is there anyway to see everything ive installed in the past two hours then uninstall it? [01:25] sentences are so long on the english channel [01:25] when I'm on the spanish channel its always one or two lines .. here everyone speaks in paragraphs [01:25] blue_anna: we try to keep the channel moving without using "enter" for punctuation. [01:25] says it does not exist === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [01:26] jasper_, that would do it :) sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0 and then try again [01:26] is seveas around? [01:26] acjoven: i hit ctrl-f in dvorak and the search pops up in xpdf. I'm not sure what you are saynig [01:26] hi, i installed an office suite similar to OO called yongzhong, but i doin't get an option to open files with it in nautilus, how can i add it to right-click menu ? [01:27] i burned two ubuntu cds and i get 'Unable to find a medium containing a live file system' on install [01:27] yongzhong is similar to oo? [01:27] is anyone else experienceing my problem with recall of shell commands with up arrow? [01:27] k1_: right click -> properties -> open with [01:27] nothing happened this time, so im assuming it works [01:27] leftist: no, no one [01:27] jasper_, ls again and see if your stuff is there? [01:27] wierd jrib [01:27] hadi: if you use your file manager and look at one of the cd's do you see one file ending in .iso? [01:27] leftist: ctrl-p work? [01:27] yes [01:27] jrib, i know, but once i reboot it forgets it and i only get OO [01:28] jrib: the issue is with all Ctrl-key combos; the xpdf bit was a sidenote and occurs for single keystrokes (not Ctrl'd) [01:28] oh no [01:28] k1_: that sounds like a permissions issue... [01:28] hadi: then you burned it wrong.. a .iso is an image or compressed file like a zip file.. you have to burn it as an "image" not as data.. are you on windows? [01:28] acjoven: can you give me an example in xpdf? I'm not familiar with the key shortcuts [01:28] here is another question regarding java, for scott trade to work i have to run a diff version of java. is there a really easy way to uninstall java becasue i dont know of one really. [01:28] /msg NickServ identify Jurist [01:28] krysis, I'm back [01:28] jrib, yes, the users are limited, should i do it first from a super user? [01:28] k1_: no, in fact that's the opposite of what I meant [01:28] i did ls and nothing happened [01:29] derdui: you just sent that to channel. I'd change my nickserv password if I were you [01:29] krysis, I think its working for the moment [01:29] OK, I know this is a stupid question, but where do I go to report a new bug? [01:29] jasper_, hmm .. please check in /etc/mtab to see if you find a line for /media/cdrom0 [01:29] So I just installed ubuntu netbook on machine and whenever I try and open something the main screen comes back into focus after it loads [01:29] RBecker: type "ubuntu-bug packagenamegoeshere" in your terminal [01:29] i burned it how its mentioned [01:29] I have a simple question. Can I copy my servlist_.conf file from windows to ubuntu? [01:29] jrib: sure, if I want to quit xpdf, hitting the Dvorak 'q' has no result; hitting the Dvorak ';' aka the qwerty 'q' successfully exits the program [01:29] thanks rww [01:29] I knew that but I forgot [01:29] k1_: you are right clicking, THEN CLICKING PROPERTIES, then open with right? [01:29] f**k rww could i do that? [01:30] hadi: if there is only one file there ending in .iso then you didn't.. I"ll have ubottu send you a link [01:30] jasper_, if not, I'm not really sur what happened .. do you have a cd we know what format it is in? like an old music cd or an ubuntu live cd ? [01:30] How do i restore default audio settings... i installed some stuff that installed JACK and now my mic input isnt working --im not sure thats the problem but thats the only thing i can think of. im running lucid. maybe is there anyway to see everything ive installed in the past two hours then uninstall it?

This sped up my login (also slow, but the other issue was more important to me). Somehow it also fixed the slowness issue. Though I think this was a coincidence and it will come back [01:31] hadi: right mouse click and "Burn disc image" ?? [01:31] no [01:31] Thanks [01:31] yw tim_ [01:31] acjoven: try something like fluxbox just to verify [01:32] hadi: that's the first thing in the Win 7 section [01:32] rww, I get Error showing url: Operation not supported. I got the same thing when I tried to open a link in Evolution [01:32] jasper_, what is in the drive now?

[01:45] comradekingu: You can use http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ instead [01:45] Take it by the 30 minutes of asking the same question and getting no response, either no ones had the problem or no one is wanting to help [01:46] has anybody got orbit working wtih wine?

[01:53] hmm never mind [01:53] jrib: I've got that set to both Alt keys, shouldn't affect it [01:53] acjoven: oh, I just noticed "ctrl while pressed there". Tried toggling it? [01:54] hola [01:54] ñlñl [01:54] jrib: and one of the Alt keys doesn't work! haha, so hopefully I've rendered that option ineffective [01:54] acjoven: or see if removing the other layouts you have temporarily changes the behavior in xpdf [01:54] jajajajajjj [01:54] jjgjg [01:54] lk.ik.o [01:54] bricky: if you installed through wubi you dont use grub [01:54] jjmhub [01:54] ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Still sounds buggy if you didn't select any option for that though [01:56] jrib: agreed, there are 'move up' and 'move down' options for the group of layouts, but it doesn't imply the order actually matters [01:56] Pici: I know where the updated torrents are, just asking why this site isnt updated.

[02:24] i have to change the screen rotation by hand [02:25] joe4288: doesn't have what, an accelerometer?

[02:29] so i found a script to rotate the screen and the mouse but 10.4 netbook doesnt have wacom-tools package which i nee to make it work [02:29] militant: ah, a prostelatizer... what's the advantage of the desktop app as opposed to the website? Is it faster? [02:29] Sammus: primary benefits of 64 bit apply if you have >4 gig of ram [02:29] joe4288: what's waacom tools for? Your trackpad works... [02:29] fishcooker same thing [02:29] royceremer: yes it does stream faster/lighter, allows you to customize your video settings a little easier, lighter on cpu also, plus queues the whole show instead of just 5 minutes or so, when you pause it [02:30] to change the rotation of the mouse when irotate the screen [02:30] @acerimmer: I am aware if this, but what are the drawbacks which make them say it's not recommended? [02:31] Sammus: i THINK there are more 32 bit apps than 64. also not all 32 have been packaged for 64? [02:31] Sammus, because they cannot guarantee correct work of heaps of badly ported x86 code [02:31] Ahh that makes sense. Thanks acerimmer and drizzt_ :) [02:31] joe4288: but to be clear, you want the screen/mouse permanently rotated?

[03:00] acerimmer yeah i'm doing a fresh install [03:00] is it possible to host video games in virtual box? [03:00] hello everyone [03:00] edbian, yeah it runs it perfectly [03:00] Azh, I think it's talking about the HDD, can you open up the PC and disconnect the HDD and see if the live CD will boot like that? [03:00] but not 10.04, it just goes crazy trying to boot [03:00] i have a doubt regarding ac3 plugin, can anyone help me [03:00] Azh: try the alternate install iso. Sometimes live cd gnome gets stupid [03:01] Azh, Trying the alternate CD is a good idea as well. [03:01] acerimmer, i tried the cd in another pc, and it works great [03:01] Azh: alternate. each machine is different. [03:02] Azh, Not an alternate Cd, the alternate installer CD. It's a different image [03:02] dumont, add a new line to the file of /etc/rc.local [03:02] oaky I will try the alternate cd installer, and then if that doesnt work I will try taking out the hard drive, thanks guys === uLinux is now known as uLinux_ [03:03] to me it seems something to do with the cd rom when trying to install 10.04 on the gateway, but who knows, I will try those two ideas [03:03] dumont, the vnstat will be started though the init process [03:03] anyone familiar with airodump,airoplay,macchanger, [03:04] tristan3199, just sudo -s [03:04] dumont, see http://blog.csdn.net/wbgeorge/archive/2010/05/19/5607425.aspx [03:04] whats the best avi to dvd converter for 10.04? [03:04] wildbat: lol [03:05] rmorgan, check out devede [03:06] actually I will try the hard drive thing first while the alternate downloads [03:06] what y must to do? i have to disk in one i have ubuntu sda1 http://a.imagehost.org/view/0101/grub [03:06] help [03:06] My sound isn't working [03:06] Ok - I want to stream my DAAP share from RhythmBox at work. How do I proceed? [03:06] At all [03:07] help? [03:07] we can't read your mind deathnight114 [03:07] Where can I get an updated init/tool (0.35.0 or above)? [03:07] I'm using ubuntu 10.04 [03:07] My sound just stopped working or something [03:07] I don't know why [03:08] songer: Selecting just /dev/sda, as it is now, is probably correct. Do *not* select any partitions (like /dev/sda1). [03:08] deathnight114: I think they are looking for hardware type yada yada ... did it work before and then stop suddenly? [03:08] Yeeah [03:08] how to remove cds from the apt? [03:08] I did a reboot before [03:08] dumont: looks like vnstat is run from crontab (/etc/cron.d/vnstat on my machine) in which case you don't need to start it explicitly if it's installed correctly. It will automatically get run every 5 minutes by crontab... [03:08] Then [03:09] I heard the startup sound [03:09] But nothing after that [03:09] kzman: System > Administrarion > Software Sources. [03:09] Jordan_U, di you see my images? [03:09] deathnight114: does it play everytime you boot, then stop working? [03:09] Jordan_U, no, command line form [03:09] It's only happened once [03:09] I don't know [03:10] But, i don't know why it's happening [03:10] It's just not working [03:10] Do you want me to check then get back to you? [03:10] omg yes!! [03:10] the first is the correct? [03:10] where is edbian? [03:10] kzman: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list (and possibly, but not likely, also /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*) [03:10] it booted to the live cd [03:10] songer: Yes [03:10] ok [03:11] deathnight114: yeah go ahead and check ... if it's working at all then stops it is likely settings ... I would think at any rate [03:11] edbian? [03:11] why the put all this options? [03:11] How do I listen to my RhythmBox share remotely through DAAP to my mac? [03:11] I'm trying to install Gnome Network admin to get on the internet with Ubuntu via dialup. It says my init tool is old and that I must update it. I have searched the web and not found any init tool source to download. How can I install Gnome Network admin? [03:11] it was the hard drive, why will the hd work with 9.04 and not with 10.04? [03:12] songer: Because some people have odd setups that require other options. [03:12] so what do I do now? [03:12] Azh, Sorry, what was that? [03:12] well, it's working now [03:12] But [03:12] Azh, It was the HDD ? [03:12] Now nothing has an exit button [03:12] like what for example [03:12] ... [03:12] deathnight114: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] edbian, i removed hd and the and it booted the live cd desktop thingy [03:13] However the sound is also very bad sounding [03:13] i'm seeing the desktop right now [03:13] brb, gonna try again [03:13] JLDahmer, http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/gnome-network-admin/download [03:13] because i have dual boot [03:14] so does that I mean I cant install 10.04 to the hd? [03:14] Azh, I knew it! Sometimes if the HDD has some nasty errors the live CD will get stuck on them. If you give it long enough I suspect that the live CD will eventually boot with the HDD plugged in. [03:14] Yeah, it's all back to normal now mostly, the sound sounds bad though [03:14] ooooooh [03:14] It's like it's being played on bad headphones really loud [03:14] Azh, You should repair the HDD. What format are the partitions on it? [03:14] Azh: replacement HDD ar cheap [03:15] well I given it tops like 15 minutes, should I give it more, and how comes it works perfectly with 9.04 and not with 10.04? [03:15] any way to actually install windows from linux on a real partition? [03:15] pleeease lol [03:16] songer: People using bootloaders like truecrypt (which is IMHO broken) often need grub installed to a partition rather than the MBR. This almost certainly does not apply to you. [03:16] Does anyone have an opinion on where I could get some advice on X509 Cert Auth (2 way SSL) ? [03:16] edbian, so put back the hd back in, and click install ubuntu and give it like what 1 hour 2 hours? [03:16] Azh, I have no idea why it hangs at all. I've seen that on other versions. I don't know why some hang and some don't. 15 minutes is chump change. I'm saying like 3 hours. [03:16] 2 hours? more like 15-20 minutes [03:16] Azh, It might help to try and repair the HDD in some other way [03:16] Can I stream DAAP remotely [03:16] assfacemcgee, He has errors on the hdd [03:17] Hi! I need help connected to this IRC server md.europeirc.org - I am getting an error msg "lookup not found" in xChat Any help is appreciated [03:17] ah [03:17] i have 2 os it dosn't matter [03:17] ? [03:17] Jordan_U, [03:17] Azh, Also (this is risky) it might help if you can keep the temp of the HDD down. [03:17] bricky: what I did a few days ago was to install linux on virtualbox inside another linux instance, then i used clonezilla to back it up amd then restore it to real drive [03:17] shows me for joining a convo late [03:17] whats x86 x64 and i386 [03:17] does anybody know how i can connect to my x windows desktop from my powerbook with X11 installed? [03:17] edbian, but its so strange that 9.04 starts installing in like 5 minutes, why? whyyyy I ask you??!!! [03:17] bricky, i am sure you could do the same, but you have to ensure that hardware matches [03:17] edbian: how does he know he has errors on the hd? has it been checked? [03:17] edbian: curious [03:17] Azh, :) Look at the source code [03:17] tristan3199, you should google 1st ;) [03:18] mkquist, The live CD complains of I/O error if the HDD is plugged in [03:18] sorry... will do... [03:18] Azh: what brand of hard drive is it? [03:18] hold on [03:18] Azh: sata? or ide? [03:18] geoaxis: what? [03:18] tristan3199, are you trying to fig out which version to dl/install? [03:18] Azh, You should burn this maybe: http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4076782266.html [03:19] geoaxis: I have a vbox on ubuntu [03:19] geoaxis: what is clonezilla? [03:19] :) [03:19] it's an ancient 20gb ide hd [03:20] uhh, can someone help me fix my sound, it still sounds like crap [03:20] wildbat, i cant do what i want bah [03:20] :/ [03:20] i'll ask google hehe [03:20] hello [03:20] havngkontakt, Hi! :D [03:20] How about any SSL experience, anyone here spent time working with SSL? Looking for some real world experience with X509 Cert Auth ... point me to another server/channel even (not that I can find any others without script kiddies) [03:20] songer: My advice still applies. Depending on which is first in the boot order you may want to also install to /dev/sdb, but that is probably not needed. And under no circumstance do you want to install to a partition. [03:20] Azh: checked the jumper settings? just to make sure... [03:20] Hello, how can I tell what files a package contains before downloading and installing it? I need something like dpkg -L or dpkg-deb --contents, only I want to get this information for packages not already present on my system. [03:20] Azh: well I'm worried that it's starting to fail. Is there anything important on it that you can' [03:20] Azh: can't live without? [03:21] not really, loshki, just to have fun with [03:21] bricky, google it [03:21] and as a router box sometimes [03:21] with firestarter [03:21] kapipi: apt-file show foo [03:21] is there some way to connect to my ubuntu box and run the gnome-session on my mac? [03:21] but it runs 9.04 so well [03:21] Azh: ok, carry on then :-) [03:21] Azh, Then just stick with that distro [03:21] Azh, ;) [03:22] well thanks a bunch guys, you guys are the kings of ubuntulandia [03:22] RayzrShrp: Yes, but you need to have X11 installed in OSX (and you probably don't want to do it if your network connection is unreliable) [03:22] Jordan_U: thanks [03:22] Azh, I am not but thank you [03:22] kapipi: You're welcome. [03:22] Jordan_U: this is just on my home lan [03:22] Jordan_U: and i already have X11 installed on OSX [03:23] Jordan_U: just wanna be infront of my linux box with gui from the couch :) [03:23] jmk_: there is an #openssl channel with 16 people in it.... [03:23] is there a way to set default permissions of a file created in a directory to be not world readable or anything? [03:23] Loshki, awesome thanks didnt see that :) [03:23] RayzrShrp: Open an xterm window in OSX and "ssh -X RayzrShrp@yourip" Then "gnome-session" [03:24] Um I just installed the latest Kernel and now my Intel NIC is unabled to be configured? I rebooted my machine and no network anyone else experienced this? [03:24] I tried to configure via the CLI using ifconfig eth0 up and it said Memmory cannot be allocated ? [03:25] do you know how to reset the panel icons position ? [03:25] geoaxis: I hope it does what I hope it does lol [03:25] Jordan_U: hmmm well it thinks it's running but it's not loading [03:25] emergion: sounds like a bug. Can you verify its the new kernel by booting the earlier kernel again? [03:25] hey guys, i just upgraded to lucid, i heard iphones worked now but plugging it in still does nothing - just wondering if there are any packages i need to check got installed? which ones are new that enable this? [03:25] "executable (application/x-executable)" why cant i make a shortcut or run it at startup? [03:26] captceline: Have you synced the phone at least once with a windows / mac machine? [03:26] Loshki, I am on the earlier Kernel [03:26] kzman, Do you know about the hidden folders in your /home/userName folder? [03:26] Jordan_U: sure [03:26] <|rt|> new kernel updates seemed to have broken KVM on my laptop as well...anyone else see that behaviour? [03:26] wow been busy took me ten minutes to scroll back down [03:27] how do you connect to a samba share on 10.04 from windows 7? i keep getting "The specified network password is not correct." [03:27] lol [03:27] edbian, what? [03:27] Loshki, I can go get more info anything else you think we would need I can just go grab the exact error message maybe a dump of dmesg? [03:27] Jordan_U: hmmm ok so i had to open x11 first on the mac, then run xterm and then connect from there [03:27] kzman, Go there in nautilus and choose view -> show hidden files [03:27] emergion: Is the new kernel from the usual repositories? [03:27] kzman, Any folder / file that starts with a "." will be hidden. [03:28] Yeah It just said updates available [03:28] Jordan_U: it seems to have worked but the xterm window just scrolls errors super fast even though it did load my upstaies desktop [03:28] Jordan_U: any ideas? [03:28] i hit installed rebooted my machine and network gone [03:28] captceline: No, sorry. [03:28] edbian, And for what I should do that? === uLinux is now known as uLinux_ [03:28] kzman, All of those hidden files in your /home store your settings for all of your apps. The gnome-panel is one of your apps. If you delete one of those . folders then the settings for that app are erased and the next time the app starts the defaults are put there. [03:29] Jordan_U: is it normal for it not to load the background of the other computer? [03:29] kzman, So figure out (using google) where the gnome-panel folder is (probably some where under .gnome2) and delete it! [03:29] emergion: time to report a bug then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [03:29] Loshki, sorry I was wrong 4:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) [03:29] That is my Ethernet card [03:29] kzman, Than re-start your gnome-panels [03:29] I can't remember who helped me, but thanks, installing fine now. [03:30] I've a quick question [03:30] skellz, Yeah? [03:30] edbian, ok i understood that now [03:31] kzman, Awesome. Good luck! [03:31] How would I be able to customize my windows, to get rid of the border? [03:31] i see they already have a 10.10 out pre why they haven't even got 10.04 right yet :( [03:31] Give it a cleaner look [03:31] skellz, killall metacity ? [03:31] edbian, and reboot, or logout? [03:31] kzman, That would do it [03:31] is it hard to install xp after i install ubuntu [03:31] goddard, It's more difficult than the other way around but not impossible [03:32] how would i do it / [03:32] ? [03:32] goddard, should install windows first [03:32] edbian: well I don't want to end a program, I'm sure that wouldn't do much, I just want to customize the look of my windows === Maletor_ is now known as Maletor [03:32] I just did a release upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 and now my server won't boot. Syslog says: kernel: Cannot find map file. [03:32] Any ideas? [03:32] hi all is there a tool to delete double files ? [03:32] goddard: you install xp first and after any OS you want, that's the normal way [03:32] skellz, Themes. System -> Preferences -> appearances [03:33] ouyes, check out fslint for a gui tool to find duplicates etc. [03:33] !pastebin [03:33] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [03:33] KnickLighter, bad idea to upgrade like thatshould do a fresh install it ismore stable and better [03:33] will try asking again just incase - anyone know anything about the new iphone support in lucid? doesn't seem to be working for me.. would appreciate any advice? [03:33] Launchpad signup requirements for password : Must be at least 8 characters long, and must contain at least one number and an upper case letter. rofl [03:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/444359/ [03:33] I have a 500 usb hard driver but there are a lot of double files in it, I want to delete them [03:33] hiexpo - I can't do a fresh install as it's a vps [03:33] and my hoster doesnt support 10.04 yet [03:34] KnickLighter: then don't use 10.04. [03:34] Jordan_U, now i'm going to restart and see how it works [03:34] ya stay away [03:34] ouyes: how come you have lots of 'double files'? [03:34] edbian, i dont have .gnome-panel and I lookedthe .gnome2/panel2.d and it's empty [03:34] if you're in a hosting environment, use what your hosting environment supports :\ [03:35] Loshki, I do not know , just back up and copy them form here to there [03:35] rww; they said I could update it [03:35] i dont either i am still on 9.10 and will stayonit because if it's not broke idonot need tofix it [03:35] Though I expect things to go well [03:35] ZykoticK9, thanks [03:35] As it went fine from 8.04 to 8.10 [03:35] though from there nothing. [03:35] KnickLighter: issues occur when you start doing the small incremental upgrades... [03:36] hmm [03:36] <|rt|> has anyone else seen any issues with KVM after the kernel updates today? [03:36] won't problems do a upgrade like 95 percent chance u will have probs [03:36] <|rt|> virtual machines seem to start but not post and just eat up cpu cycles doing nothing [03:36] Loshki, ubuntu is amazing [03:37] you can do evil and good things as you want to [03:37] ouyes: check out the 'fdupes' program. It finds duplicate files... [03:37] kzman, I'm looking for it too right now. [03:37] KnickLighter: If they'll let you, install 8.04 then upgrade directly from that to 10.04 [03:37] of course [03:37] How? [03:37] I ran do-release-upgrade [03:38] Loshki, I know that someone already told me that but I am not good at command lines, GUI is good [03:38] whats the default app that mounts isos [03:38] KnickLighter, - no don't do it that way do a fresh install but who am i a nobody that has been operating unix since 1978 [03:38] kzman, Remove ~/.gconf/apps/panel (the whole dir [03:39] ? I need to mount clonezilla [03:39] just an ole hippy lol [03:39] clear [03:39] evil is putting out a game with a central server that has a buffer overflow in the game client only exploitable by the server and then exploiting it because you own the server [03:39] Question, when saving a file with gedit I get the option of the 'Line Ending', in which I can select between Unix/Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows, what does this mean? [03:39] ouyes: sorry, I don't know of a gui tool to do what you need. Just grit your teeth and bear it... [03:39] <|rt|> bricky: you mean you need to mount a clonezilla image? [03:39] edbian, is it a secure deletion? [03:39] kzman, What do you mean secure? [03:39] Dougdoug4: unix = LF, mac = CR, WIndows = CRLF [03:40] |rt|:I got a live clonezilla cd [03:40] <|rt|> bricky: unfortunately i think that's one of the limitations of clonezilla images....the only way to access files is to restore the image...unless you forced it to use dd which isn't as efficient [03:40] Loshki, well said [03:40] un214, CRLF, CR, LF? [03:40] Does anybody know of a webpage that will explain exactly what I need to learn in order to use ubuntu properly? I've never used linux before, and am coming to it from windows. [03:40] <|rt|> bricky: ah you want to mount an iso [03:40] bricky, wshat ver? [03:40] edbain: he means that running strings on the disk won't find any piece of the file [03:40] Dougdoug4: each of those OSes use different characters to signal end of line...

Sorry to bother but something was definitely a miss. [03:41] dont know what version exactly [03:41] edbian, I mean, if this deletion won't spoil gnome [03:41] version | bricky sorry my fingers are fat lol [03:41] kzman, No, it will not ruin anything. [03:41] <|rt|> bricky: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/easy-way-of-mountunmount-iso-images-in-ubuntu.html [03:41] hiexpo :) lol [03:41] has anyone been successful with desktop drapes? mine likes to fail all the time [03:41] |rt| cheers mate! [03:41] it is weird I can not open a a.txt file with gedit, after double click it no thing came out [03:41] kzman, It will make the gnome-panel have all the settings the same it did when you originially installed ubuntu [03:41] emergion: if you can't reproduce the problem, I would hold off on reporting it. It doesn't mean there isn't an intermittent bug in there somewhere, though... [03:41] <|rt|> bricky: that's a gui way easy for beginners you can always loop mount from a command line [03:42] Loshki, Yeah for sure [03:42] p yeah [03:43] |rt|: sweet ! :) [03:44] rww; restoring backup now [03:45] i'll just go to 8.10 and see what i can do from there [03:45] KnickLighter, - use 9.10 it the best one so far i think [03:46] <|rt|> looks like i'm not alone with my kvm issues http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500518 [03:46] hiexpo; It came with 8.04 [03:47] I can't install a diff version [03:47] That is why I was trying the updates. [03:47] KnickLighter, HUH [03:47] Yeah, my VPS is hosted by strato [03:47] I mailed them for info about 10.04 and this was the reply: [03:47] Sorry, we only have Ubuntu 8.04 at the moment for installation. If you know how to install Ubuntu 10.04 over the command line you can go ahead and install it on your server. If not, you would have to be patient till we add Ubuntu 10.04 to your customer service area. How soon that will be, I really cannot tell. [03:48] since they still have 8.04, the 'how long' might take years. [03:48] KnickLighter, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:48] KnickLighter: I have a server at Strato too, I was about to try to upgrade it [03:48] Perhaps in 2012 they will have 9.10 - lol [03:48] KnickLighter: 8.04 is a LTS release. they come out every two years. It's not surprising that they skipped non-LTS versions. [03:48] SSH seems slow from work. How can I speed up my ssh connection? [03:48] Gerwin; seeing the issues i have now i recommend not to - lol [03:48] edbian: dist-upgrade does not upgrade distrobution versions.. [03:48] (you can also go straight from 8.04 to 10.04) [03:49] bastid_raZor, Really? Than what does it do? [03:49] Oh, by the way, when does 8.04 support end? [03:49] !dist-upgrade | edbian [03:49] rww; Won't a straight backup cause more problems? [03:49] edbian: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [03:49] Gerwin: April of 2011 for Desktop, April of 2013 for Server [03:49] Flannel: Thanks [03:50] Yeah thanks for that Flannel [03:50] edbian: do-release-upgrade is a method of upgrading distro versions [03:50] KnickLighter: don't ask me, I'm the one recommending you stay with your provider's recommendation. which is 8.04. [03:50] Good to know [03:50] bastid_raZor, Thanks [03:50] edbian: i'm here for you, man [03:50] Yeah rww; I will just get it to 8.10 because I know that works. Though i will keep it up a few days so that it makes some backups (daily) and then try some stuff from out there [03:50] bastid_raZor, :) [03:50] KnickLighter: 8.10 isn't supported anymore. [03:51] KnickLighter: Iirc, Strato doesn't offer 8.10 [03:51] Anyone used gconf to lockdown machines? [03:51] Gerwin; I know - but you can upgrade to 8.10 without issues. [03:52] KnickLighter: Except 8.10 is EOL [03:52] Though, not with the apt-get sources.list they provide [03:52] KnickLighter: Have you tried replacing it? I tried, but I failed [03:52] !eol [03:52] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:53] KnickLighter: what do you hope to gain from upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10 anyway? There may be other options [03:53] I just want to have it as up to date as possibl [03:53] e [03:53] KnickLighter: 8.04 is currently up to date. [03:54] KnickLighter: What in 8.04 do you need a new version of? [03:54] Kernel? [03:54] KnickLighter: What features of the newer kernels? [03:54] What's actually the difference then [03:55] well some such as preventing root exploits ? lol [03:56] KnickLighter: 8.04 gets security updates, so it's fully patched and up to date (if you went to 8.10, you'd actually be losing the ability to keep it up to date) [03:56] Ah [03:56] I have a quick question. I'm trying to setup a home server for FTP, windows file sharing, HTTP, and any other cool servers i can come up with ;-P I have been using a windows XP box but i was thinking using ubuntu might mean it would run cooler (less heat), use less electric, ect.. My question is would server or desktop better suit my needs? [03:56] Didn't know that Flannel, thanks [03:56] PcCowboy; server [03:57] in my opinion [03:57] thanks, anything i should know going in? all i can find is cloud, Cloud, CLOUD. nothing about how to settup FTP SAMBA ect... [03:57] PcCowboy: Depends, if you're gonna do everything from command line, choose server, if you need a GUI, choose desktop and maybe use tasksel to install whatever you need [03:58] PcCowboy: Linux has no concept of "server" or "desktop" being fundamentally different. Those servers will run exactly the same on each. The difference is with desktop you'll get a GUI by default, where the server has no GUI by default. [03:58] PcCowboy: Are you going to be running this on a machine with a monitor and keyboard? or is this going to be hiding in a closet (or whatever) somewhere? [03:59] PcCowboy: I assume you're doing this as a learning experience? Otherwise, there's barely any point changing. It won't make a noticeable difference to the power consumption or the heat production, and it will be a huge amount of work... [03:59] is there a channel on here where i can get some help for either "torrent-fu" or "transmission" [04:00] oh?? (it will be headless) [04:00] Anyone know of a good reference site for gconf settings? Trying to more or less make my installation a kiosk for a given user [04:00] right now i use RDC [04:01] hello [04:01] PcCowboy: If it's headless and you want to use a GUI, you'll need to set up X forwarding (which isn't a big deal). If you're just looking to do stuff from the terminal over ssh, thn go ahead and install a GUI-less machine. [04:02] DeadmanIncJS: you can read all about transmission here: https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=2ac014a768f950142dd7fddf1a1a081c [04:02] how can i remove ubuntu from windows 7 computer?? [04:02] ok that answers my questions i think [04:02] PcCowboy: I actually recommend you download the "alternate" CD instead of the "server" CD if this is going to be just-random-box-I-have type hardware. The alternate CD installs a GUI by default, but you can instruct it to install a command-line only system, which may install easier than the actual 'server' CD [04:02] thanks Loshki [04:03] i started ubuntu on my Vmware but im having trouble trying 2 config the effect i go 2 the system/performances/appearance [04:03] and it wont allow me 2 give it effect [04:03] Thanks all. ttyl [04:03] im trying to get this program from my droid (torrent-fu) to work w/Transmission. im not sure if its a firewall setting in the router or what [04:03] any ideas === braxton is now known as brax [04:03] ubuntooth, that's really a VMware issue - VBox has similar issues with 3d.

[04:09] what does D state mean? [04:09] ht1: delete the ubuntu partition .. then ask in ##windows about how to restore your MBR [04:09] MJennings: means it's waiting for IO [04:09] ht1: yeah, I kind of got that already, that's not enough information still.

[04:32] you should only clone partitions and not the entire HDD [04:33] there is no gurantee that it will work for windows though as I have not tried it , but works for linux :) [04:33] how do i edit the connections in the "Places" menu [04:33] dark1: ps aux | grep scriptname [04:33] ta [04:33] dark1: That will give you the process id of the script [04:33] Which you can then use to kill it [04:34] dark1: ps aux | grep -i scriptname then kill -9 PID .. where PID is the 5th column.. they are going to be numbers [04:34] yay thanks :) [04:34] geoaxis: hmm okay thanks not what can use for my issue :( but once i fix it i will use this [04:35] bricky, what is your issue [04:35] I need to install a legit copy of XP through linux on a 10 gb partitoin, than format my win 7 [04:35] ty [04:35] while booting the cd it shuts down the PC while formatting or copying files [04:35] bricky, you can try with the above recepie [04:36] but the simplest way is to install directly always [04:36] yeah I need a heavy work around :\ [04:36] you can always use clonezilla to backup your linux drives === IdleOne_ is now known as MaverickOne [04:36] and resore them === xangua1 is now known as xangua [04:36] is it possible to keep a user from closing a program, say a web browser?

[04:37] so to backup linux I need to backup windows also [04:37] brianl, not necessarily [04:37] you can use clone zilla to backup the linux partition [04:37] then you can install ubuntu normal mode [04:37] and restore the binary data [04:37] you will need to learn a bit of grub magic [04:38] which is rather simple, once you know what you have to do [04:38] geoaxis: okay, hmm [04:38] bricky, also depends what you want to do with linux, just use it or learn it [04:38] this is confusing but I will have to figure the best way around tihs crap :p lol [04:38] You can also learn while using ;) [04:38] geoaxis: I want to do both [04:38] the easiet way to backup things is via clonezilla and an external drive m [04:39] bricky, i would recommend that you should rid your self of windows [04:39] for say 6 months [04:39] geoaxis: okay gotcha, [04:39] only rely on linux [04:39] geoaxis: yep, linux is proving to be worth the hastle imo [04:39] IMO that the only way [04:39] Hello all, Sound is not working for the Headphone in Ubuntu Lucid, Sound is ok from speakers but not working at headphone. [04:39] and if you can start with gentoo [04:39] geoaxis: I havnt touched windows since and dont plan on using that [04:40] gentoo will teach you lots about inner workings of linux [04:40] it will be lots of work though [04:40] geoaxis: ah, okay, will do [04:40] how do i edit the connections in the "Places" menu [04:40] bricky: the only thing you'll miss is the games, but Valve might be working on that problem.

[05:23] Guys - can some one help me with my server - it got screwed over by todays updates and it can no longer completley boot but fails during fsck and I can't get out of it. Help please? [05:23] ok, well at least I just got the entry back in. But now I lost sharing. For some stupid reason, the connection is working as either-or right now, not taking both Ethernet cards [05:23] jdeloach: Well, if the machine is good enough to boot to a LiveCD session you may use that and run fsck from it and see if that helps [05:24] !bluetooth | rmorgan [05:24] rmorgan: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [05:24] but I need both input and output to work at the same time, not singly [05:24] theadmin: It took 30 min for the LiveCD to load... this is a SLOW server. Any other way? FSCK was whining about a network share. [05:24] Anybody know how one gets the new kernel update that fixes the problem where amd64 -22-server will no longer boot KVM guests? === Guest86356 is now known as di_giorgio [05:25] jdeloach: Well, I can't see how can we fix a system which doesn't boot without a live medium of some kind [05:25] basncy, sdsdsd [05:26] guys , can anyone help me? trying to get an internal 3-stack audio card to digitally work a 4 channel sound system (i.e. the blue line-in becomes a second audio output) , i trying altering alsa-base , pulse deamon , and no use . it used to work on windows [05:26] Ah, should be out later.

I know how to switch to a TTY from a GUI of course, but how to prevent GDM loading completely on a livecd... :/ Dunno [05:27] ok, let's try this again. Since the last update, I haven't been able to share my Internet connection with my Roku box through a second Ethernet card. Can someone PLEASE help me?! [05:27] jdsbluedevl: If it happened after an update, Ubuntu/Debian guys likely borked some stuff. File a bug report and wait for the fix [05:27] theadmin: Could Crtl+Alt+F1 work on a live cd ( or whatever it is )? [05:27] hi i have some problem with old nvidia and twinview with TV [05:28] jdeloach: I'd recommend Ctrl+Alt+F2, tty1 gets overfilled with errors and kernel messages, but yes, it should work [05:28] theadmin: thx, but I just want to make sure I'm setting it up right again first [05:28] ubottu: ty , but i tried all that , it's talking about analogue sound , my audio card has only one analogue output =/ [05:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:28] and the main ICS page doesn't work for me [05:28] theadmin: When should I run it? When it is loading or what? [05:29] jdeloach, what do want to do? just skip fsck on boot? [05:29] i tried somethin it didnt worl [05:29] Hello [05:29] codebrainz: From what I understand, the guy wants the system to just boot, which it does not [05:29] I want to open a PDB file [05:29] codebrainz: Anything to just get to regular operation would be great. If that's whats needs to be done that would be good [05:30] JazzTRi: Let me google around [05:30] JazzTRi, have you tried opening your normal pdf viewing program and then opening the file with it yet? [05:30] wait a second [05:30] i tried something it didt work :( any simple way to change the boot image i have already my image as splash.xpm.gz [05:30] well you can skip fsck on boot by adding "fastboot" as a kernel argument (by editing the line in GRUB). You could also use the single-user-mode option in GRUB with that and get in and rollback the last updates. [05:31] not that it solves any of your real problems :) [05:32] codebrainz: I am not sure if I have GRUB on my server box. It doesn't show up... like it does on my main desktop. [05:32] ok, I think I'm getting upset. I said that I'm having trouble sharing my Internet connection with my Roku box. Can SOMEONE PLEASE help me [05:32] ? [05:32] JazzTRi: Found a Java app called PDBEditor [05:32] jdeloach, maybe you're using the hiddenmenu option in grub, you should be able to press Esc to access the grub menu [05:33] JazzTRi: Please see http://pdbeditor.sourceforge.net/ [05:33] or can someone PLEASE walk through the steps with me? [05:34] codebrainz: By some miracle I got to root shell, how do I roll back last updates? [05:34] jdeloach, not sure, but I bet google or someone here does === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:34] Does anyone know how to roll back updates from todays update? [05:35] is there a webpage that anyone knows of that describes how to make a static user account? [05:35] jdeloach: Unfortunately there is no way to "roll back" with APT, you'll have to pin packages to specific versions (today I only got a libc6-dev update, but "today" for me might not be "today" for you) [05:35] jdeloach, i think it's more a matter of finding the offending package and removing it rather than a "rollback" per se [05:35] or does anyone know how to set one up? [05:35] don't know, but I'm getting really upset that apparently no one knows how to set up a simple Internet sharing connection [05:36] not even the wiki [05:36] codebrainz: theadmin: how would i find the package causing the problem? [05:36] can i connect my slingbox to mythTV box? [05:36] is there a guide for that at all? [05:36] jdeloach, check the logs i guess [05:36] jdeloach: That I don't know of. If you think that it's a fsck problem, it'd be util-linux [05:36] picard1421: yeah, it's called Internet sharing, and no, no one in here will help you do it [05:37] what? [05:37] jdsbluedevl, | why get mad people hear work 4 free to help people with probs [05:37] jdeloach, does fsck fail or just take a long time [05:37] well like.. ok i can connect slingbox to my compuer with the software [05:37] theadmin: Do you know if util-linux has been updated in the past few days? [05:37] or i can do my slingbox to a slingcatcher [05:37] jdeloach: Not that I remember [05:37] codebrainz: fail I would assume, unless it takes more than 30 or so minutes. [05:37] hiexpo: yes, but I felt like I repeated myself over a million times already [05:37] codebrainz: it gives a LOT of errors. [05:37] i was wondering if i could do that with MythTV [05:37] use it as a DVR etc.. [05:38] jdeloach: Wait, if you mount that network share with fstab it might as well be worth attempting to remove its line and seeing if it boots without it [05:38] Can someone help me with a "can't contact gconf server" problem? I keep getting this on a remote machine (tunnelling X11 over ssh), and the remote has no .gconf or .gconfd directories, nor any locks in /tmp. [05:38] holas [05:38] jdeloach, it could take quite a while if it's a huge drive with lots of errors. [05:38] jdsbluedevl, i know but remberpatience is the best vitue :) [05:38] picard1421: your MythBox is connected to the Internet, right? === jfrank is now known as alienzero [05:38] codebrainz: The mount was a 250 gb it was small. [05:38] or is it the Slingbox? [05:39] teh slingbox [05:39] is [05:39] connected to the internet [05:39] im using it [05:39] like [05:39] picard1421: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:39] hi guys!!

Can you normall esc out of fsck? [05:40] bastid_raZor: that link DOES NOT HELP [05:40] that's what I've been bleating my spleen about [05:40] jdeloach, what is the filesystem type on that drive? [05:40] jdeloach: huh, well, never tried [05:40] codebrainz: Network is NTFS. [05:40] ok how about this, can anyone think of any search terms I might use to find on google how to create a static user account? I can't seem to hit the right search terms [05:40] jdeloach, network? [05:41] codebrainz: My server isn't even hooked up to the network right now, but it had the error even when it was connected. [05:41] new kernel info just came out on update. Do you think this could hep with the ICS problem? [05:41] phirestalker: GNOME has a "guest session" thingy. That might be worth looking around for and then seeing how it works [05:41] good evening :-) [05:41] jdeloach, if it's doing a fsck on a network mount, you probably have the last field for that mount in /etc/fstab with something other than 0 [05:41] I [05:42] I'm having an issue with ssh [05:42] It keeps saying permission denied, publickey [05:42] codebrainz: I'll try to get back to fstab and look [05:42] d2dchat: sounds like my VPS' issue xD [05:42] I was messing with the configs earlier to force it to do permission denied [05:42] anyone know what it means when the little audio speaker logo in my upper panel blinks between a speaker with sound waves and an empty speaker with little dotted lines coming out? [05:42] err [05:42] sry [05:42] tired [05:42] d2dchat: Try "ssh -v" to see if it's finding your private key and trying to use it. [05:42] not permission denied.. public key [05:42] d2dchat: what cjs said [05:42] no I want to force it to do password for a sec [05:42] just for testing [05:42] but it goes straight to publickey [05:42] theadmin, am I able to gksu as that guest session, I want to run programs from my user account as a user account that won't store any traces [05:43] linux_is_my_hero: I think "little dots" is when sound is off [05:43] I deleted my id_rsa key [05:43] phirestalker: Uh, no, it's not admininstrative... sorry [05:43] codebrainz: before even fsck loads, there is an error with "no command terminal" or something [05:43] any ideas? [05:43] theadmin: thats what i thought but it alretnated between the two on its own, right after i logged in. only did for like 10 seconds, then went to normal. also never lost sound output at all. [05:43] *alternated [05:44] sorry, tired & sick [05:44] I even put in ~/.ssh/config PreferredAuthentications password,publickey [05:44] linux_is_my_hero: Probably a bug [05:44] hello how do u extract a file with gzip -d for a user spacificed file name, eg gzip -d sample.gz extracted.file [05:44] and that didn't do anything [05:44] jdeloach, that sounds like something entirely different [05:44] jdeloach: new kernel just came out 15 minutes ago. Did you install that yet? [05:44] theadmin, well I found if I run gksu with no arguments it brings up a dialog where I can run a program as ANY user not just root, really useful [05:44] dark1: gzip -d something.gz > something, I suppose [05:44] Anybody play WoW on Ubuntu ?

[05:45] im just curious [05:45] phirestalker: You can also use gksu -u username command [05:45] codebrainz: Okay, I removed the network share from my fstab, server booted with that error, but eventually got to regular stuff. [05:45] jasper: This is a support channel ;) [05:45] jasper: Take that to #ubuntu-offtopic then, not a support question [05:45] jdsbluedevl: no, I don't feel like updating :D it screws everything up :D [05:45] d2chat: Do an ssh-add -D to remove your public key from the agent, and rename your private keyfile. [05:45] theadmin, yep now all I need is the static user account :( [05:45] jasper: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [05:46] theadmin: yeah i bet youre right. i also have been issues with jacksense, so im sure itll fix itself over time...like everything does. [05:46] theadmin, it's so frustrating because I know linux has a simple solution I just don't know how to do it [05:46] goodnight everyone. [05:46] jdeloach: haha. yeah. Apparently, the kernel update didn't help [05:46] how do I get the text on my gnome desktop icons to wrap tighter? thanks :) [05:46] jdsbluedevl: You still having your problems? [05:46] is anyone else having issues with resuming from suspend on the acer aspire one? have you ben able to fix it? [05:46] Hi everyone, I screwed up my system and don't know how to fix it. I was trying to remove KDE through Synaptic. I ended up removing (many packages) what appears to be Gnome, Kde, Xserver.... the system wont boot a GUI, just a command line. Any help.... please/thank you! [05:47] Anyone have problems with encrytped /home and entire drive going read only? [05:47] fadeout: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will get Gnome back. [05:47] hey guys i need some help running a java gui app in my server... when i log out of x11 and ssh... it closes the program :( [05:47] fadeout: sounds like the display manager went missing [05:48] fadeout: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (in the event you get networking in CLI) [05:49] t3chkommie__, try starting the program with 'nohup thejavaapp &' [05:49] that didnt help, may be i need to pipe it? [05:49] My laptop freezes while using Ubuntu 10.04, why? [05:49] codebrainz, do i just run that in the ssh session or is there soemthing else special i have to do? [05:50] t3chkommie__, just like that, then when you log out the program will still be running [05:51] cjs, I did ssh-add -D and I completely removed my id_rsa file [05:51] for now... [05:51] I will generate a new one again but I wanted to try to get the passwords working [05:51] codebrainz, didnt like that jar file :S [05:51] You removed it? I hope you had a backup.... [05:51] How do you make a user account static so it has the same settings on each use and cannot be modified, all programs that try to write their own settings in home directory will be redirected to /dev/null or something [05:51] cjs, no, there is no reason to keep it.. I don't use the pubkey anywhere [05:52] d2dchat: BTW, in general you never want to allow password auth with ssh. It's incredibly insecure. [05:52] cjs, hmm possibly I disabled it on my server then? [05:52] phirestalker: Hm. I just figured it's impossible because if you direct everything from home folder to /dev/null programs will be unconfigured => Won't run [05:52] cjs, is there a way to find out? [05:52] Check. To properly disable it you need to set both AllowPassword *and* UsePAM to "no" in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config. [05:53] theadmin, that was an example, what I mean is the programs all have a static configuration file they read and no settings can be modified or cache files stored. [05:53] hmmm so I set epiphany to not allow quit, any way to log out? [05:54] phirestalker: Are you trying to create a kiosk or something? [05:54] ok, I tried Firestarter, but it keeps saying that Eth2 is not ready [05:54] how do I make Eth2 ready? [05:54] codebrainz, i got it to like the jar, but i need to configure the gui then run it from the gui first... is there a way to run the program click on stuff through x11 forwarding... then keep it going? [05:54] 방가방가 우분투가 빠라바라바라밥 [05:54] phirestalker: I got an idea maybe. Create a normal account. Let all apps create their configs. Then, sudo chmod -R 400 /home/thataccount... Might as well work [05:55] Sure lunasean [05:55] cjs, I have PasswordAuthentication set to no [05:55] hello? I've been waiting here for a freakin' hour, and nobody's helped me yet with a step-by-step on how to set up an ICS [05:55] Why does my laptop freeze such that I can move my pointer yet can't do anything but emergency reboot it? [05:55] cjs, and UsePEM set to no [05:55] greezmunkey, or something lol, what I want is to run apps from my user account as a user that will leave no temp files or cache files in the home directory or otherwise [05:55] and AllowUsers set to the sudo user [05:56] That should be usepAm, not usepEm. But yes, that disables password auth. [05:56] sry, typo [05:56] it's UsePAM [05:56] theadmin, well I thought of doing something like that but thought I would come here first before diving in to see if there might be a cleaner solution :) [05:57] theadmin, and since programmers are still people I thought that some apps might crash without thinking they have write privileges to their settings file [05:57] d2dchat: Anyway, if you set at least UsePassword to Yes, it should allow you to use a password to log in. But as I said, I don't recommend it; a password is much, much more easily guessed than an ssh private key. [05:57] phirestalker: What apps, what work will the user be expected to be able to do? [05:58] hey everyone for some reason the time is included with the indicator applet, how do I get rid of this? [05:58] right-click on it and select 'remove from panel' [05:58] cjs, Ya I guess I will just try to redo my key, etc. [05:58] Hello [05:58] So I disabled log out for a user and it auto logs in, any way to log them off? [05:58] sshd isnt started [05:58] RudyValencia, but then it takes away the indicator envelope as well [05:58] not sure [05:59] I just want the indicator envelope not the time [05:59] right click on the clock itself and select 'remove from panel' [05:59] I can't stay up all night, you know [05:59] (it won't take away the envelope) [05:59] hey guys any good linux books [05:59] hmmm when i do that it takes away everything [05:59] eh [05:59] t3chkommie__, well, you could - from your X session - press Alt+F2 and then run that command from there, then it would open the GUI and i think it would still run afterwards [06:00] I don't know, but anyway... [06:00] OK, let me say this again. Can someone PLEASE help me set up an shared Internet connection?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:00] oh well well thanks for your help [06:00] codebrainz, not sure [06:00] because the flippin' wiki doesn't do junk for me!!!!!! [06:00] ...why does my laptop freeze such that I can move my pointer yet can't do anything but emergency reboot it, when it's running Ubuntu 10.04? [06:00] greezmunkey, well to be honest I'm just paranoid so I would like to keep certain apps from saving stuff since they have no option to do so in their settings, I feel like I'm still on windows, except at least I know where it stores all the files, but not being able to disable it? what is that anyway? [06:00] jdsbluedevl, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [06:00] RudyValencia, what computer r u using [06:00] THAT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!!!!! [06:01] I KEEP SAYING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:01] Guest11536: Dell Inspiron 8200 [06:01] jdsbluedevl, what part doesn't work? what error messages do you get? [06:01] how do I get the kernel sources? [06:01] codebrainz: nothing, I just don't get a shared Internet connection with my Roku [06:01] i installed and registered nessus but the GUI is it showing up in applications/internet like its supposed to can someone help? [06:01] RudyValencia, did u install ubuntu [06:02] for that matter, I don't get an entry under my second Ethernet card in network settings [06:02] Guest11536: yes, [06:02] codebrainz, sorry im a bit of a n00b to x11... i can run terminal commands and see the gui... where does nohup play in this? [06:02] I might reinstall though [06:02] I'm trying to build a lucid kernel from linux-source-2.6.32 the "old-fashioned Debian way". The kernel wouldn't boot, so I re-read the Kernel/Compile page and found that I needed to copy over hte initramfs scripts. I've done that, and now update-grub is failing with error 20 when I try to install the linux-image deb. [06:02] adv0cate: you have to run nessusd first [06:02] to see if that's the problem [06:02] How do I fix this? [06:02] genewitch, sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) should work [06:02] I didn't have problems compiling my own kernel with karmic. [06:02] codebrainz: thanks a million [06:02] RudyValencia, yeah good idea [06:02] genewitch, or get from kernel.org [06:03] genewitch: sudo /etc/init.d/nessusd start [06:03] airtonix: Hi there again. For some reason virtualbox-approach didn't work - I got errors during partitioning and so on. So I tried sudo qemu -hda /dev/sdc -cdrom kubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso -boot order=d and got quite far - but again some errors with partitions and finally ubiquity crashed.. So no success yet, and don't have the time to try it out anymore for a few weeks. Thanks anyway for your help! [06:03] codebrainz: got any ideas? [06:03] genewitch: i did that [06:03] hey guys I just installed windows XP (finally) woohhoo [06:03] t3chkommie__, hopefully it will keep the program running after you logout === sowdylan is now known as haha [06:03] and my bootloader settings for wubi and windows vista are gone [06:03] phirestalker: a lot of programs read in config files, generally from the users /home - but from what I've seen these same programs could be made to read in their config file from a location other than that which the user controls, like from a dir off of / that is read only from the perspective of the user. That would depend on the app, but it should be doable. === haha is now known as helloworld [06:04] t3chkommie__, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup [06:04] adv0cate: open a terminal and type nessus and hit tab [06:04] codebrainz, thanks ! [06:04] am I going to have to scream again? [06:05] jdsbluedevl, there's so many things that could be wrong, and you haven't given nearly enough information. also, I've never done it so can't really help much. [06:05] genewitch: ok now what [06:05] genewitch: it has like 2k results [06:06] greezmunkey, ya I guess I will experiment with it, I just thought that I'd check for a cleaner built-in solution first. Since the user will never have to actually log in the amount of program configurations to worry about are small. [06:06] jdsbluedevl, http://linux-ip.net/html/ch-routing.html maybe another tut will solve the issue [06:06] adv0cate: typing nessus and hitting tab has 2000 results? [06:07] jdsbluedevl, people will helpyou when they can and if they want. They are here on their own time helping because they want to [06:07] genewitch: well when i type nessus in the console it says command not found [06:08] hi folks, I have problem with skype, it doesn't play back the voice, why? [06:08] adv0cate: then it didn't install properly. [06:08] adv0cate: you start the daemon with nessusd -D anyhow [06:09] genewitch: ok could u help me install it properly? i already registered it [06:09] What I should do? [06:09] genewitch: i used the tar file for lucid [06:10] paris, does other audio work, in other programs? [06:10] coderainz! yes [06:11] How can I make a script that would go through my folders and run a "git pull" command on all of them? [06:11] I'm a programmer but I don't know about programming for Ubuntu heh [06:11] paris, is there a volume setting under preferences in your skype program, or something to change the audio backend settings? [06:11] adv0cate: did you run nessus-adduser? [06:11] genewitch: yes [06:11] phirestalker: yeah, the other option would be to create a ubuntu terminal server. That would give you ultimate control over what users can and can't do. [06:12] adv0cate: sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Nessus.desktop === ardian is now known as ardian[AFK] [06:12] adv0cate: http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-install-the-vulnerability-scanner-nessus [06:12] Bear10, you could do it with a bash script, or python/other scripting lang. [06:12] codebrainz, oh cool sweet thanks [06:12] Bear10, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [06:12] thank you [06:13] adv0cate: have no fear, you'll get it, I've used ubuntu as a security tools distro, it takes a while to get everything configured.. Don't do that ln -fs line in there though unless you want nessusd to run every boot [06:13] hallo [06:13] naaa [06:13] alles klar [06:13] ! [06:14] Bear10, you probably want something like 'find /the/dir -type d' to get the dir listing, then cd into each dir, run the command and go back out, repeat === tobias is now known as Guest30486 [06:14] codebraninz! In sound preferences --> Output value is 40% and Alert volume is 90% [06:14] codbrainz, right [06:14] genewitch: ok i just did the last part, now reboot and it will be there? [06:14] paris, do you know what backend the program uses (gstreamer maybe)? is there settings for it? [06:14] no reboot, it should be on your gnome panel [06:15] adv0cate: gnome panel, applications [06:15] adv0cate: security tools menu [06:15] adv0cate: system tools, sorry, I am sleepy. [06:15] genewitch: not there [06:16] if i shutdown a machine during update manager process running, will that break my system, or will the update manager KNOW something has not been fully installed? I had a VM freeze up and had to reboot it. [06:17] anyone? [06:17] cesurasean, it will probably just fail on one package, which you could reinstall to repair, or run apt-get -f install [06:17] cesurasean: it shouldn't matter. [06:17] also, what codebrainz said. [06:18] genewitch: its not there what should i do? [06:18] anyone familiar with MediaTomb on 10.04LTS? [06:18] is there any way to keep a gui program running from a ubuntu server after closing ssh with x11? im going crazy! [06:18] adv0cate: apt-get install nessusd && apt-get install nessus [06:19] adv0cate: tell me what they say [06:19] hi there, when i connect to wirless router, the wirless connection icon is changed to volume icon in 10.04, why is that? how to chane to normal? thanks [06:19] genewitch: Categories=Application;System; .........is that right? [06:19] codebrainz! Big thanks for thy help. The input volume was mute and Microphone was 2 instead of 1. Again big thanks for thy help. [06:19] adv0cate: I believe so. [06:19] I installed windows XP mmkay, and my wubi ubuntu and my windows 7 options arent avialable in the bootloader can someone help me? [06:19] Oprtz: I had the same issue until I did an update via the manager [06:20] paris, this is an issue i've heard over and over. too bad ubuntu doesn't assume some reasonable defaults [06:20] How can I get google chrome to use vlc as its movie player instead of movie player [06:20] stevething: which update [06:20] http://pastebin.com/LS4EQ5TR [06:21] Oprtz: i dunno which fixed it, i just upgraded to the newest kernel x.22 [06:21] I can't get the virtualbox guest additions for oracle vbox 3.2.0 to install [06:21] codebrainz! That's the way it is, and it is learning experience. [06:22] After today's update, I lost the image portion of all video playback. I get audio, but the visuals are black. Whether it is on VLC, totem, SMplayer, .avi, mpeg of DVD [06:22] Anyone know what I can do to get visuals back? [06:22] genewitch: http://pastebin.com/LS4EQ5TR [06:22] SteveThing: how to change to new kernal ? [06:23] adv0cate: so what about apt-get install nessus? [06:23] t3chkommie__: not really. For gui stuff I want to always keep running, I run it inside a vncserver instance and then just connect to it whenever I want to see where it's gotten up to... [06:23] genewitch: i already installed nessus [06:24] I could use some transcoding to PS3 help with MediaTomb, if anyone has time [06:24] genewitch: aleady the newest version [06:24] what's the $ for "current user"? [06:24] hey do you know why in ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 I don't have hibernation choise? How could I set it to hibernate? [06:24] Video on flash player is fine too (like Youtube). Just cannot see movies anymore [06:24] n3kr0n, do you have a swap partition? [06:25] nops [06:25] codebrainz, nops [06:25] n3kr0n, make a swap partition :) === helloworld is now known as newhand [06:25] adv0cate: ok so type find / -name "nessus" > /tmp/findnessus.txt [06:25] and paste that file for me to see [06:25] codebrainz, alright [06:25] n3kr0n, you might be able to just use a swap file rather than repartition [06:26] hi there, when i connect to wirless router, the wirless connection icon is changed to volume icon in 10.04, why is that? how to chane to normal? thanks , Note: my system is updated , no new updates for my system [06:26] codebrainz, how could I do this swap file? [06:26] Oprtz: a volume icon facing which way [06:26] \Why would visuals disapear for video playback? === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [06:27] n3kr0n, at the bottom of http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/custom-guide/s1-swap-adding.html [06:27] genewitch: volume icone facing right side [06:27] Is there a command for the terminal like on Windows XP in command prompt that allows you to see IPs you are connected to? [06:27] codebrainz, thanks dude ;) I gonna check it out [06:28] Is it a graphics driver issue? [06:28] is there a good reason the /bin/sh is linked to dash ? [06:28] how can i copy files over my network to a win7 box. im guessing i need a samba client installed? [06:28] that breaks munin plugins [06:29] anyone know what the most current nvidia driver is for an 8800GTS? [06:29] ok, vbox guest additions still can't find my kernel source and kernel include directories. I know I have to apt-get something that fixes this problem [06:29] (in lucid) [06:29] FlameTai1, is there even a command in XP? [06:29] FlameTai1: try sudo netstat -a [06:29] Oh, you mean `net`? [06:29] EntityReborn: Yes there is [06:29] pvl1, Places->Connect to server... [06:29] SteveThing, you sure u installed the kernel source? [06:29] pvl1 samba, or apache or ftp. are both OSs running [06:29] FlameTai1, which? [06:29] Loshki: Nice. [06:30] http://www.nvidia.com/drivers [06:30] pvl1: um... i guess? i just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 and activated the hardware driver that said "recommended" [06:30] EntityReborn, I believe Netstat [06:30] koshari, well. yaeh tehyre both up. and lemme rephrase. i want to "put" a file onto the win 7 machine. i dont wanna get up and "get." i think ima try codebrainz [06:31] hi there, when i connect to wirless router, the wirless connection icon is changed to volume icon in 10.04, why is that? how to chane to normal? thanks , Note: my system is updated , no new updates for my system [06:31] SteveThing, sec... [06:31] pvl1: I just want to ensure I'm using the best version for my card is all [06:31] SteveThing, oops meant to ask the guy under u [06:31] oh, lol [06:31] SteveThing, wait what card u have tho [06:32] Loshk: How would you stop it? [06:32] quit [06:32] genewitch, u sure u installed the sources [06:32] exit [06:32] pvl1: 8800GTS (640MB version) [06:32] Loshki* [06:32] pvl1: no. I know there's more than one command I need to run [06:32] SteveThing, tried envy-ng? [06:32] FlameTai1: stop what? ctrl-C [06:32] Ty Loshki =] [06:32] pvl1: but I can't remember right now what apt-get install command grabs everything and puts it where it belongs [06:33] pvl1: nope... i'm a bit of a linux newbie... so I'm up for a challenge... things are working fine, just looking to optimize [06:33] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-195.36.24.html [06:33] SteveThing, try to install envy-ng, hasnt failed me yet with card drivers [06:33] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-195.36.24.html [06:33] genewitch, sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-headers [06:33] Epsylon3: thanx [06:34] genewitch, for starters [06:34] genewitch: dude, do u know which software to install to get rid of volum icon ? thanks [06:34] I suppose I can re-install a fresh wubi :) [06:34] So I updated my system today and lost the image portion of video playback. How do I get it back? (this is never happened before in my years of using Linux--in ANY distribution) [06:34] Ubuntu is proud to be the first [06:34] khider: have you tried using the debug switches on VLC? [06:35] SteveThing: This applies to VLC, smplayer, totemplayer, all of them [06:35] I think it is not a media player issue, but something else [06:35] khider: Missing a codec? [06:35] pvl1: says it's already the latest version [06:35] Gerwin: Which one ye reckon? [06:35] khider: worth a shot.. if it is a codec issue, VLC should give you some insight [06:36] khider: Wouldn't know, just a wild guess [06:36] I tried xfce under Ubuntu, but now want to revert to just Ubuntu gnome. I used synaptic pkg manager to remove xfce desktop, but traces remain. what else can I do? [06:37] SteveThing: Where are debus swiitches? [06:37] degug [06:37] holocene: apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove [06:37] debug [06:37] genewitch, whats the output of uname -r [06:37] holocene: what traces are you talking about, though [06:38] pvl1: 2.6.32-22-server [06:38] genewitch: when I boot, I get xfce screens, plus other issues. [06:38] I wonder why visuals would dispear, that is so odd. [06:38] genewitch, sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.32 [06:39] holocene: nano -w /etc/conf.d/xdm and it says something in quotes about window manager, what's in there? [06:39] genewitch, but it might be linux-source-2.6.32-server or linux-source-2.6.32-22-server [06:39] codebrainz, i made the swapfile as described in the link you passed to me, but when I use free or cat /proc/swap it do not appear the swap, it only will show when I restart? [06:39] genewitch, try to use sudo aptitude to find the sources [06:39] khider: vlc --longhelp [06:39] pvl1: thanks, it's getting a 66 meg file now, that looks correct. [06:39] n3kr0n, if you added the mount in /etc/fstab, mount -a command should use it [06:40] genewitch, np, nd lemme know if it works or not [06:40] man I am so burnt on linux from the past 5 days. :-/ [06:40] n3kr0n: did you run swapon? check man swapon [06:40] SteveThing: Can you elborate? [06:40] thanks you guys! [06:40] genswitch: nothing. [06:40] holocene: empty file, or nothing in quotes [06:40] verifying now. [06:41] holocene: DISPLAYMANAGER="" [06:41] it should say "gnome-session" [06:41] codebrainz, greezmunkey : worked :) thanks!!! [06:41] genewitch: sorry are you there? [06:41] adv0cate: yes [06:41] n3kr0n: :) [06:41] did you get the pastebin? [06:41] n3kr0n, do you have an ssd drive in your netbook? [06:41] khider: never actually used the debug options in linux... may need to hit up google [06:42] codebrainz, nops [06:42] DISPLAY MANAGER has no value [06:42] SteveThing: I hit google until it was black n blue. My problem has no precedent that I am aware of unless my keywords are in errorr [06:42] Hello, is that possible to install ubuntu 10.04 on a 1 G USB drive ? [06:42] codebrainz: significance of the ssd question please, is swap on a ssd a problem? (curious) [06:43] hmm, how do i exit X-server to install an nvidia driver? and how do i restart it? [06:43] greezmunkey, you can turn the swapiness down to minimize writes [06:43] genewitch: i typed it and its not doing anything [06:43] codebrainz: Ah, good one. [06:44] Maybe Ubuntu is making me lazy and I should switch to something more involved like Slackware *shudder* [06:44] codebrainz: Although, from what I hear the Intel drives are pretty tolerant of that sort of thing. [06:44] genewitch: it just shows the console again [06:44] Gentoo, I can use on a single hard drive, but fstab screws me up when I have multi hard drives [06:44] But Ubuntu does everything for me, except when something doesn't work [06:45] greezmunkey, yeah, i have my doubts how much it matters, especially if you rarely swap anyway [06:45] codebrainz: Heh, there you go! You can't have enough ram. [06:45] adv0cate: yeah now give me the file in /tmp called findnessus.txt [06:45] pastebin that to me [06:45] Is it safe to use synaptic to uninstall anything with "xfce" in the name? [06:46] Nobody knows how to reclaim visuals. Well, I did have isues with the nvidia drivers earlier. Maybe Nvidia is the culprit? [06:46] holocene: that should have the value "gnome-session" [06:46] Hello everyone. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 for my server and am hosting a mybb forum site on it. For some reason captcha isn't working. I did some looking around and some people say I need something called "GD Library" or "AdEnhanced" installed on my server. Any idea what this is or how to install it? [06:46] I have no file named xdm according to find /etc -name xdm [06:47] oh, ok [06:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/444417/ [06:47] whats a really effecient vnc server [06:47] pip idk if it will fit on a 1 gb usb drive but im thinking about my 8 gb usb flashdrive for my other computer but i was wondering same thing [06:48] sorry I'm tapped out, holocene. xfce should be safe to remove from synaptic although I'd google "remove xfce ubuntu" on google [06:48] ubuntu expert is online [06:48] linux: right now, I only have 1 G stick on hand :S [06:48] pvl1: still says it can't find sources for my current linux kernel, and I can specify a directory with a directive. [06:48] geneswitch: good idea. already search forums though. [06:48] Otherwise I have to consider wubi way [06:48] holocene, you just want to nuke everything related to xfce? [06:49] genewitch, shouldnt need to sepcifiy, apt-get will install it in the correct place [06:49] Guest34646: Do you know how to get visuals in video playback? [06:49] codebrainz: yes. [06:49] genewitch, what was the output of uname -r again? [06:49] holocene, what did you install, package xfc4 or xubuntu-desktop? [06:49] *xfce4 [06:49] genewitch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/444417/ [06:49] 2.6.32-22-server [06:49] ohh I cant wait to get back to linux :P [06:49] Guest34646: After today's update and issues with teh graphics card, all image portions of video playback are gone--but audio works fine [06:49] codebrainz: can not recall. how to check? [06:49] adv0cate: type ./opt/nessus [06:50] also, there's an icon on your desktop. [06:50] khider, u just get it [06:50] adv0cate: type ./opt/nessus/bin/nessus [06:50] i've never tried to put OS on a flashdrive i got questions like if does it work? [06:50] once again, sorry, I am sleepy [06:50] khider, oh [06:50] linux: it does work, sometimes. [06:50] holocene, dpkg -s xubuntu-desktop [06:51] genewitch, try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [06:51] hmm sounds good im try it thx [06:51] adv0cate, type "sudo rm -rf /" (without quotes) into the Terminal; that should fix your problem. You'll have to type your password and press enter. [06:51] how do i install the patch in symantec "php-gd" through command line? [06:51] khider, can u undo the update [06:51] Guest34646: No [06:51] linux, it works [06:51] LinuxGeek: ouch. [06:51] geneswitch: not installed [06:52] nvm [06:52] Guest34646: I do not have kernels to select from at boot. It just boots and bypasses all kernel selections. Nice, huh? [06:52] holocene: mistrigger, I think that was to someone else [06:52] khider: Hold shift while GRUB is loading [06:53] pvl1: linux-headers-2.6.32-22-server is already the newest version. [06:53] cannot remove root directory [06:53] khider, i guess [06:53] oh [06:53] sorry [06:53] khider, what graphics card r u on [06:53] Guest34646: Nvidia [06:53] adv0cate: add --no-preserve-root to the end of that [06:53] holocene, what i would try is apt-get remove --purge xfce4 xdm && apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop gdm && apt-get autoremove --purge [06:53] sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root [06:53] holocene, ymmv [06:54] !ops (10:53:38 PM) LinuxGeek: sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root [06:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:54] genewitch: says no such file or directory with the .

[06:54] LinuxGeek: what is that going to do? [06:54] khider, have u installed the proprietary nvidia drivers [06:54] genewitch, how are u installing virtualbox? from source? or repos [06:54] !danger [06:54] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [06:54] genewitch: yeah i thought so [06:55] holocene, meh, you'll be able to reboot [06:55] pvl1: it's in a windows guest, I have the cd mounted in the guest (ubuntu) in /media/cdrom [06:55] pvl1: windows host. ubuntu guest. sorry. [06:56] Guest34646: Yes [06:56] codebrainz: would it be safer and accomplish the same thing to uninstall xfce items one by one via synaptic? [06:56] Guest34646: Version 173 [06:56] pvl1: I had to update from 3.1.X sun vbox to 3.2.0 Oracle vbox to support an ovf file, this was working prior to that, but I can't get the additions to install now :-/ [06:56] khider, maybe try 'version current' [06:56] can anyone help me? [06:56] genewitch, im confused. are u installing vbox inside a virtual machine? [06:57] ok, I'm going to ask this for the umpteenth time. How can I make a connection from a second Ethernet card in my computer to set up an Internet share? [06:57] genewitch: so now what? [06:57] adv0cate: now what what? did you type that rm command? [06:57] Guest34646: Okay, will do. Must reboot and will let you know. Thanx! [06:57] holocene, not really, makes no difference, just do what i said before from within synaptic if you like [06:57] jdsbluedevl, what do u mean share [06:57] genewitch: no [06:57] as in pass Internet through my computer to my Roku box [06:57] jdsbluedevl: I'll chime in, but you have to agree not to threaten to leave, ok. [06:57] codebrainz: thanks. [06:57] ok [06:58] holocene, "completely remove" the packages xfce4 and xdm, then install the packages ubuntu-desktop and gdm [06:58] jdsbluedevl, repeating questions not allowed [06:58] genewitch: i knew it was bad [06:58] yeah, repeated an hour ago Guest [06:58] a LONG time ago [06:58] pvl1: no, I am trying to get the VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run file to run inside of my ubuntu guest. [06:58] hi, i have a problem with my kernel. [06:58] jdsbluedevl: what are you connecting to the second Ethernet port? Details please.

[06:59] atroy1994: use wubi [06:59] i'm on the look out for streaming tv sites [06:59] jdsbluedevl: wth is a roku box? details please. [06:59] anyone have any they use? [06:59] pv1: that doesn't help [06:59] atroy1994, it should run fine. [06:59] jdsbluedevl, i don't know what a Roku box is, but why don't you get it going with a normal computer first? [06:59] what is wubi? [06:59] greezmunkey: a set-top box for my TV, so I can stream Netflix [06:59] Ubuntu says it needs 256MB of RAM; 246 is an odd number but should be close enough [06:59] genewitch, ah i see. ok just trying to clear it up. [06:59] genewitch: there is no icon on my desktop [06:59] !wubi | atroy1994 [06:59] atroy1994: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

[06:59] greezmunkey: no [07:00] jdsbluedevl, if you can get a laptop/desktop working through your router, then it's an issue with your other thing [07:00] wubi = the best app for windows ever [07:00] genewitch, ok so the update for gues additions isnt seeing the guest headers right? [07:00] i want to build a media pc but want to ensure I can stream all i need, should i stick with winblows for it or can i get some streaming with linux? [07:00] jdsbluedevl: do you have the instructions for your tofu, er roku box? [07:00] jdsbluedevl can you use a proxy? [07:00] adv0cate: type sudo ./opt/nessus/bin/nessus [07:00] in a terminal [07:00] pvl1: right [07:00] greezmunkey: doesn't help, instructions say to use Wi-Fi or a router [07:00] i have this error "dpkg: error while processing linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic (--configure):" [07:00] has anyone here used neatx (latest iteration of freenx) and could offer/ point in the right direction for help? [07:00] jdsbluedevl, i linked u to a bridging forum post, thats what u wanted to do [07:00] and landlord doesn't allow routers [07:01] landlord is a university [07:01] hi, i currently have a 8.04 lts installed, and the new lts is 10.04 i thought, but "do-release-upgrade" says "no new release found" what did I wrong? [07:01] ddd [07:01] jdsbluedevl, you have a router, that's what internet connection sharing is [07:01] Is there any way I can hold back packages during dist-upgrade? [07:01] jdsbluedevl: say no more, you probably need a crossover ethernet cable, do you have one? The rest comes after that. [07:01] codebrainz: no, Pitt doesn't allow routers in its apartments [07:01] alguien habla Español? [07:01] i hav already installed ubuntu 10.04, and after rebooting, again windows xp is running. how will i use ubuntu? [07:01] genewitch: with no period right?

[07:02] can anyone point me to some rooms on movies/tv? [07:02] Guest34646: It worked, thank you! [07:03] jdsbluedevl i assume you only have 1 ip address available from the uni server? [07:03] khider, cool [07:03] correct [07:03] genewitch, did u try restarting the guest after isntalling the source [07:03] jdsbluedevl, if you setup internet connection sharing, you have setup a router. [07:03] jdsbluedevl: read all about it here: http://forum.admon.org/linux-networking/7580-ethernet-crossover-cable.html [07:03] jdsbluedevl use a proxy server [07:03] codebrainz: no kidding. But setting it up isn't working [07:03] pvl1: doing that now [07:03] jdsbluedevl: how will Pitt know if you have a router or not? [07:03] codebrainz: that's what I've been trying to say all night long [07:03] Is there any way I can hold back packages during dist-upgrade? [07:03] Loshki: they know. I think it's in the feedback [07:04] Loshki there will be 2 ip addresses leased [07:04] genewitch: it comes up but i want the GUI [07:04] remanifest: you can do so by typing "sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /" into the Terminal (without quotes) [07:04] codebrainz: that does not solve his issue if he can't get past layer one, the router is at layer 3 [07:04] koshari: not if he does ICS [07:04] ubottu: i hav installed ubuntu in xp. after rebooting the system, again xp starts running. how will i use ubuntu?

[07:04] greezmunkey, i was merely pointing out that ICS is a router, and he said he's not allowed to setup a router [07:04] genewitch regardless he will have to address the routing through the one ip addy [07:04] Loshki: yeah.

[07:05] pvl1: connectivity between like ethernet interfaces, hub to hub, switch to switch, pc to pc, you see :) [07:05] bricky: so what will u do now? [07:05] genewitch: it worked before today [07:05] now all I have to do is get it working again, but something is borked [07:05] koshari: why 2 addresses? My NAT router only leases one address. I don't see any way for anyone to tell what kind of box it is.... [07:05] has anyone here used neatx (latest iteration of freenx) and could offer/ point in the right direction for help? [07:05] How to get the current size of a window?

[07:07] setup always defaults to the first Ethernet card [07:07] remanifest: please make sure you dont take the advice of LinuxGeek [07:07] so I can't set up a connection on my second Ethernet card.

[07:14] anyone up for some chat, looking at streaming tv [07:14] anyone know of any? [07:15] greezmunkey: you get all of that? [07:15] when i open the wubi file, it say"a previous installation was detected, it needs to b uninstalled bfore continuing". what wil i do now? [07:15] jdsbluedevl: according to your ifconfig 00:18:f8 is at eth2, my mac search shows that as a linksys mac...wierd. [07:16] jdsbluedevl: what does ifconfig eth2 say? Can you pastebin the output?

[07:17] inktri: "grep 'CMD'"? [07:17] theadmin: that means, hav i already installed wubi? [07:17] atroy1994: Well, from what it tells, yes [07:17] thadmin: thanks [07:18] theadmin: then, i want to use ubuntu now, what to do? [07:18] atroy1994: When you boot, you should choose Ubuntu in the menu [07:18] greezmunkey: hmm, maybe you're right. I'll check the Eth0 card [07:18] anyone want some helpbuntu? [07:18] theadmin: which menu? [07:19] atroy1994: In the boot menu when it asks to select the OS [07:19] jdsbluedevl: maybe there is more to this story after all ... [07:19] atroy1994: In the event such does not appear or does not have Ubuntu in it, reinstall WUBI [07:19] greezmunkey: yup, Eth2 is Linksys, Eth0 is Accton [07:19] Guest34646: Please don't do that. Thanks. [07:20] greezmunkey: but network connection shows nothing connected to the Accton card [07:20] jdsbluedevl: agreed. [07:20] Flannel: do what o_O [07:20] jdsbluedevl: are you using network manager? [07:20] jdsbluedevl: well, it's UP. But look, no TX or RX packets. I *think* UP means your cable is ok (one end must have autosense, or I think you *would* need a crossover cable) [07:20] Flannel, sup [07:20] greezmunkey: you mean Network Connections? [07:21] theadmin: boot menu does not open. will i reinstall wubi? [07:21] codebrainz: fyi this got me back to pure ubuntu gnome: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [07:21] atroy1994: I think yes [07:21] ok\ [07:21] atroy1994: Follow this guide: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php [07:21] jdsbluedevl: No, how are you configuring internet connection sharing? Is the roku set to get an address via dhcp? (question 2) === Tina is now known as Kasjopaja [07:22] greezmunkey: I would be configuring ICS through Network Connections [07:22] anyone know how i can attach a script to gnome-network-properties, so that when I set a profile a script runs? I want to have it so when I set my profile to "anonymous" it creates an SSH Socks tunnel with the -D setting [07:22] jdsbluedevl: windows? [07:22] And I don't know how the Roku is set to get an address. It does have a MAC address [07:22] greezmunkey: no, Ubuntu [07:22] why else would I be in here? [07:22] greezmunkey, i think he's talking about network-manager [07:22] or nm-applet [07:23] codebrainz: I think so too, now ! [07:23] installing xfce on top of Ubuntu is a poor idea: mainly because when screen saver kicks in, the gnome login screen will not log you in. [07:23] Is there a way to defeat the wireless switch on ubuntu? [07:23] holocene, i use xfce almost exclusively, i love it [07:23] jdsbluedevl: ok, can you right click on the icon, and select edit connections [07:23] jdsbluedevl: anything connected to the network, should have a MAC address. Usually on a device you can find the mac address on the bottom or side on a sticker [07:24] codebrainz: I liked it too, but I had conflicts with gnome [07:24] greezmunkey: ok, next? [07:24] holocene, yeah, i just don't install gnome from the start [07:24] hi i just installed apache2 and when i try to start it i get ".: 44: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars" and "sudo apache2ctl configtest" says "apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory" how can i get it to run? [07:24] codebrainz: i was warned there would be issues. [07:24] codebrainz: I am thinking of emerging it on my TiBook that's running gentoo, just to have a snappier desktop experience [07:24] jdsbluedevl: browse to the ethernet interface connected to the roku, then under ipv4, select shared to other computers in the method drop down [07:25] how can I see what files a program reads? [07:25] OK, I'm still finding my laptop crashes such that I can move the mouse yet can't do anything but emergency-reboot it [07:25] any package for php oci8? [07:25] Hm, I just figured that if you select some text and drag'n'drop it to a folder, it creates a file called "dropped text.txt", pretty neat [07:25] greezmunkey: so that would be Eth0? How would I get that? [07:25] holocene: just using a different login manager like slim [07:25] genewitch, it's quite nice, my only complaint is the way it manages the desktop [07:25] trijntje: you can use strace... [07:25] RudyValencia: probably a memory leak. when does it happen? [07:26] codebrainz I do not like booking into the gui. I would rather boot into a console, then start the gui. IMO too much can go wrong. === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:26] theadmin: in the installation box, it asks for installation size, what will i enter,(the default is 8gb)? [07:26] hareldvd: apt-cache search oci8 return php-db and php5-adodb [07:26] greezmunkey: there is no entry for Eth2 [07:26] nissy: will check that out. [07:26] just Eth0 [07:26] RudyValencia: that can happen on my computer when flash is running. it becomes inresponsive and I have to kill my browser after it lets me do a little [07:26] jdsbluedevl: paste the contents of /etc/network/interfaces please [07:26] three connections: Auto Ethernet, Auto eth0, and Ifupdown (eth0) [07:26] holocene: all you have to is edit your xinit.rc file [07:26] atroy1994: About 10 should be enough for starters, just go with a normal install if you like it :D (You can transfer a WUBI install to a partition easily, too) [07:27] holocene, i'm not too fond of the new login manager either, or the changes to it if it's still gdm [07:27] theadmin, got php-adodb. still oci8 is missing. [07:27] j0rd: I can reproduce it while updating with synaptic [07:27] holocene: remove gdm from /etc/rc2.d? [07:27] jdsbluedevl: please paste the file [07:27] how do I disable those obnoxious notification bubbles that appear every time you get a message in Pidgin or Empathy and the window isn't focused? [07:27] but not while updating through apt-get in a terminal [07:27] j0rd: safe to do? [07:27] those bubbles persist like 5 seconds and there's no easy way to close them [07:27] its extremely annoying [07:27] RudyValencia: how much mem do you have? i assume a healthy amount. [07:27] MrWGW: Tools -> Plugins. Disable "Libnotify popups" [07:27] 1GB [07:27] greezmunkey: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/444431/ [07:27] jussi: Thanks again... your solution was the ticket I was looking for. I'm really liking apt so far. [07:28] can I disable libnotify altogether? [07:28] ok. i wiill select 10 gb. but i am installing it in E. any problem will occur? [07:28] remanifest: excellent to hear. :D [07:28] I very much resent this form of desktop behavior === winodwsxp is now known as bricky [07:28] atroy1994: Nope, unless E: is an USB device [07:28] holocene: that's what starts the GUI, i'm sure if you removed it, it wouldn't start. theres a proper way to disable the script. i believe there's a readme about rc scripts in the rc folders [07:28] Loshki, ok thanks, is it true that I cannot use strace on a process that is already running? [07:28] jdsbluedevl: add entries as in eth0, for eth2 and restart networking [07:28] MrWGW: No way I know of. [07:28] that blowsucks [07:28] MrWGW, i think notification-daemon is in charge of that [07:28] but oh well [07:28] okay I got my ubuntu working, now I just need to edit the grub file so it recognizes my other operating systems [07:28] holocene: might be a "better way". check the forums....but i'm sure what i suggest would stop it from starting [07:29] why is it that GNOME's UI designers (and KDE's) have gotten so obnoxious over the past few years? :-p [07:29] theadmin: does the installation size depend on ram? i hav only 246 mb ram [07:29] bricky: grub2 (1.9*) should do that automatically [07:29] actually most recent OS releases have UIs that piss me off [07:29] OS X especially [07:29] Windows 7 is very much on my shitlist though [07:29] holocene: there might be a couple more in the rc folder related to gui, that you might also want to enable, but that should get the job done [07:29] holocene: s/enable/disable/g [07:29] MrWGW, lets get back on topic, and please watch the language [07:29] greezmunkey: is that command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart? [07:29] now the other question I have - is there a command line tool to set the ip address etc similiar to service network restart? [07:29] jdsbluedevl: yes [07:29] hi i just installed apache2 and when i try to start it i get ".: 44: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars" and "sudo apache2ctl configtest" says "apache2: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: No such file or directory" how can i get it to run? [07:30] installed also php-db. still oci8 is missing. Any idea? [07:30] greezmunkey: that didn't change anything except remove all options from the taskbar menu [07:30] j0rd: but you think that I would be able to login with networking and all that without the gui? [07:30] err [07:30] atroy1994: Uh, you need at least 256 to run Ubuntu [07:30] rather [07:30] so now I have zero connection to the internet [07:30] similiar to system-config-network-tui [07:30] atroy1994: 512 is recommended [07:30] the_gamer: looks like you're missing the apache config folder. is /etc/apache there? [07:30] trijntje: I see no way to give strace a pid, so it must be true. But there must be some way to see which files a particular process currently has open (the kernel must know, after all), though I don't know how to do that... [07:30] the_gamer: How did you install apache? [07:30] jdsbluedevl: look again [07:30] jord: I have 1GB RAM and I don't think it's a RAM outage, because my system would be pageswapping if it was [07:30] remanifest: my situation is a bit more complicated [07:30] Flannel, now i tried "sudo aptitude install apache2" and "sudo apt-get install apache2" [07:31] theadmin: then what will i do? [07:31] j0rd, it isn't [07:31] MrWGW, edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and restart the networking service, but interfaces configured in there won't work in network-manager anymore [07:31] holocene: ya, you just need to run that stuff in a script. usually it starts with DHCP if you have a net connection i believe. as for WiFi, you'd have to look into that [07:31] atroy1994: If you have less than 256 megs of RAM, you CAN'T run Ubuntu normally. Basta. Try Xubuntu maybe. [07:31] how to get the configfolders and -files? [07:31] greezmunkey: give me a sec, I'm removing Firestarter to see if that helps [07:31] codebrainz: in general that's a good thing [07:31] Loshki, well, the thing is I want to know what ubuntu one is doing, but i'm having trouble starting it by hand [07:31] the_gamer: well, that's your problem. re-install apache. Did you install it with apt-get or a similar package manager...or did you compile it? [07:31] what is xubuntu? [07:31] bricky: do you need help, or do you have it? keep in mind editing grub.cfg isn't recommended because your changes won't "hold" with future updates to grub. [07:31] greezmunkey: nope, the same [07:32] theadmin, atroy1994: that's not correct. There's no hard lower limit, it 'gracefully' degrades (and by graceful, I mean gets as slow as... slow stuff) [07:32] atroy1994: XFCE based instead of Gnome [07:32] the_gamer: Alright. Is this your second attempt at installing apache by any chance? [07:32] atroy1994: A lightweight version of Ubuntu [07:32] j0rd, now i tried "sudo aptitude install apache2" and "sudo apt-get install apache2" [07:32] jdsbluedevl: restart networking after disabling firestarter [07:32] Flannel, yes [07:32] Flannel: lol, well, actually, it states 256 as minimal on ubuntu.com itself [07:32] greezmunkey: same set of connections in the Network Connections list, but zero in the taskbar menu [07:32] Flannel, is there any chance to get the configfiles? [07:32] theadmin, atroy1994 gnome should run fine with 256mb, that's lots [07:32] just says "disconnected" under both cards [07:32] the_gamer: Flannel seems to be onto it. maybe apt or something renamed the old configs or something like that. [07:32] from where will i get it? [07:32] codebrainz: But he said he has 246 [07:33] greezmunkey: maybe I need to reboot? [07:33] theadmin: right, that's not a rule. You can (technically) install Ubuntu with as little as 8MB (but without fancy trickery, you can do it with 32) [07:33] atroy1994: When installing with WUBI, choose "Xubuntu" in... uh, Desktop type or what it was [07:33] remanifest: I have a C:/win7 partition with a wubi OS on D:/ that arent coming up [07:33] theadmin, i don't think it matters, it might drop to a text-ui for the install though. i would def. recommend using the alt cd or xubuntu though [07:33] jdsbluedevl: no, select the card carrying the internet - it should connect [07:33] the_gamer: and when you removed that, you removed the package, and then deleted the apache folders? [07:33] greezmunkey: there IS no available card in the taskbar menu [07:33] remanifest: I actually should ask this in #windows or something [07:33] Loshki, nevermind, systemtools, right mousclick, open files :D [07:34] bricky: Ahh, I've never messed with wubi. [07:34] *systemmonitor [07:34] trijntje: cool... [07:34] Flannel, i removed with purge and so on. i tried to get the defaultconfigs back because they were messed up but now i obviously have none :( [07:34] remanifest: no problem I will just edit boot.ini in XP :) [07:34] greezmunkey: restarting networking removed ALL entries from the taskbar menu [07:34] bricky: I do have win7 on this machine though, and that was automatically picked up by grub2 [07:34] jdsbluedevl: taskbar menu?? what are you describing exactly? [07:34] What are symlinks? I know what they do and all but what ARE they, technically? Text files with some info pointing at where to find the target? [07:34] remanifest: wubi uses the windows bootloader and than boots grub I think [07:34] greezemunkey: the networking icon [07:34] theadmin: ok, installation size: 10 gb and deks environment: xubuntu. now, installation is possible? [07:35] the_gamer: Alright. When you purged, you must have not purged the sub packages (and then subsequently just rmd the directories are something), anyway, it's an easy enough fix. What version of Ubuntu are you using? [07:35] bricky: Yah, it uses Grub4Dos imo [07:35] atroy1994: Should do pretty well :D === delon is now known as iktome [07:35] ahh [07:35] jdsbluedevl: please repaste the interfaces file. [07:35] bricky: "chainloading" is the official term :P [07:35] remanifest: sweeet :D [07:35] Flannel, /etc/issue says "Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l" [07:35] theadmin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link === karthik is now known as Guest38611 [07:35] theadmin: whjat is difference between ubuntu and xubuntu? [07:35] theadmin: symlinks are links to other files. not sure exactly how it works, but i know it does :) === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [07:35] atroy1994: Different desktop environment [07:36] greezemunkey: I lost Internet connection on my Ubuntu box, so I can't pastebin it [07:36] has anyone here used neatx (latest iteration of freenx) and could offer/ point in the right direction for help? [07:36] remanifest: I just need to figure out what to put in boot.ini heh [07:36] atroy1994: xubuntu uses XFCE, ubuntu uses Gnome [07:36] atroy1994: Xubuntu is using a lighter desktop environment [07:36] the_gamer: lsb_release is another way to find that out, by the way. [07:36] greezemunkey: but it is the same as the one I sent you before [07:36] are there faster tor networks? [07:36] atroy1994: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment [07:36] Or maybe install grub and use that. [07:36] jdsbluedevl: alright, undo the change you made there and restart networking...we'll have to go another route. [07:36] bricky: messing with windows files (ini) isn't my specialty but I'm sure it can't be *that* hard [07:36] Flannel, and how to get the configfiles? [07:37] greezemunkey: I'm pretty sure it's a rebooting issue, but I'll check that first [07:37] Canti_: help running more tor-nodes and tor will become faster [07:37] atroy1994: so basically, same guts, different color dress... [07:37] jdsbluedevl: restart it then it couldn't hurt. [07:37] llutz: Well, or slower. Some tor nodes are quite slow because of slow network but still "generous" owners of the systems [07:37] greezemunkey: yup, it needs a reboot [07:37] atroy1994: gnome is a little bit of a beast with memory. I only started to use gnome as my window manager a couple years ago when memory got cheap. with small amount of mem, it makes linux way to slow. i hear XFCE is great, but i've never used it myself [07:38] remanifest: no I can figure out the windows 7 part thats not too hard, but I need to find out where wubi boots from [07:38] j0rd: GNOME is NOT a Window Manager :/ [07:38] the_gamer: sudo apt-get install apache2, then sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker apache2.2-bin, then sudo apt-get install apache2 [07:38] j0rd: GNOME is a Desktop Environment [07:38] (I suppose I can check tihs -new- wubi OS and apply that knowledge for my D;/ drive [07:38] theadmin: symantics :) [07:38] theadmin: it would be faster anyways, because traffice could be diverted [07:38] llutz, but we're not talking as fast as without running a tor network? I want to secure my internet traffic [07:38] to see check out where it boots wubi from, should be fun [07:39] theadmin: gnome has a window manager :) i used to use the *box window managers and not run the gnome suite at all [07:39] which is better ubuntu or kubuntu? [07:39] !best | atroy1994 [07:39] j0rd: Different things. Quoting my blog: Originally, Linux machines were all slow and had bad hardware, so for graphical purposes there was one big machine which did all the calculations (X server) and machines which ran X clients (or Window Managers as we call em these days) which just displayed the result of those. A desktop environment is an X server and a client, and a set of applications to make work with X better and more understandable (imangine [07:39] atroy1994: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:39] atroy1994: wihch is better, chocolate or strawberry [07:39] Canti_: none of those networks can offer you the same speed as without [07:39] it's hard to say which is better [07:39] I'm getting a friend to try ubuntu, he currently has a older dell dimension 4300 with a 1.7ghz P4, and 256mb ram, and and a geforce 3 video card. I know the ram needs to be upgraded I am going to say at least 1 gig, but my question is how would the newest version 10.04 run? [07:40] atroy1994, with 256mb ram, just use xubuntu, it's really nice, i use it for everyday use on a good computer [07:40] j0rd: A window manager would be Compiz or Metacity, not gnome [07:40] theadmin: i kow [07:40] j0rd: Oh well, sorry, just wanted to clean stuff up (you said "use gnome as the window manager") [07:40] i0rd: i havnt tasted strawbeey? :-) [07:40] sikun: with a gig of ram, it should run just fine. Mine does. [07:41] bricky: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#What%20happens%20if%20I%20have%20another%20bootloader? that might give you somewhere to start [07:41] greezmunkey: ok, rebooted, got connection back [07:41] jdsbluedevl: nice, ok you have it from here then? [07:41] bookmarking that one ill be up all night by the looks of it [07:41] greezmunkey: dunno. I see ifupdown (eth2) now in the menu [07:41] Does anyone here use Procmail on Ubuntu that can give me some advice on setting up a simmple mail filtering rule? Thanks [07:41] hi, how to get a generic "unaffiliated" user cloak? [07:42] aprilus: ask in #freenode [07:42] aprilus: Ask on #freenode [07:42] bricky: but you'll feel like the man when you get it [07:42] jdsbluedevl: as it should be. [07:42] atroy1994: if you haven't use any of them before, start with ubuntu. It has the best support... [07:42] Flannel, it seems to have problems with libapache2-mod-geoip i can't purge that. error: "/var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod-geoip.postrm: 21: a2dismod: not found" [07:42] rww: Damn you're quick -_- [07:42] ok [07:42] atroy1994: then i guess you prefer chocolate :) point was, preference between kubuntu and ubuntu is a personal one. neather is better. i personally prefer gnome [07:42] <_rahul_G_> Hello @ajay [07:42] hello [07:42] greezmunkey, cool, i just wanted to make sure there wasn't any major problems or whatnot [07:42] greezmunkey: so, now I should try to configure ifupdown (eth2) for the Roku? [07:43] greezmunkey: oops, I can't, it won't let me edit [07:43] Hey can I add applications to user groups? [07:43] BPower: What? [07:43] hi, how to check pci list in terminal, i write this but no result, ls pci [07:43] atroy1994: I prefer Kubuntu to Ubuntu. Depends on your system specs, but I like KDE more. [07:43] Oprtz: It's a single command -> lspci [07:43] atroy1994: that's the beautiful thing about linux: choice [07:43] ls: cannot access pci: No such file or directory [07:43] jdsbluedevl: paste ifconfig again, please. [07:43] Oprtz: it's lspci, not ls pci [07:44] theadmin: Now, i will use kubuntu. but, later if i increase the ram, can i again uninstall kubuntu and install ubuntu? [07:44] remanifest: yeah it will be most worth it [07:44] at 1024*768 resolution mouse pointer vanishes...pls help guys!! [07:44] yes yes, brb [07:44] rww: awww thanks [07:44] Personally, I like ubuntu with kde installed after installation. THEN you can choose from the login screen if you want to login using Gnome or KDE. Then you have the best of both worlds!!! [07:44] atroy1994: Woah, Xubuntu not Kubuntu, Kubuntu is even more ram-evil then Ubuntu [07:44] at 1024*768 resolution mouse pointer vanishes...pls help guys!! [07:44] atroy1994: kubuntu is probably more demanding on resources than ubuntu [07:44] ah, sorry xubuntu [07:44] at 1024*768 resolution mouse pointer vanishes...pls help guys!! [07:44] atroy1994: but yes, you can install whatever desktop environment you want from xubuntu, kubuntu, or ubuntu. [07:44] xubuntu isnt that much lighter than ubuntu really [07:45] atroy1994: If you increase the RAM, you can reconfigure your system to use the Ubuntu and not Xubuntu desktop with this: sudo tasksel remove xubuntu-desktop && sudo tasksel install ubuntu-desktop && sudo reboot [07:45] greezmunkey: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/444434 === sje55 is now known as sje46 [07:45] rww: i am using Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

That way you know you have the best distro with KDE installed as well. [07:45] ok, i am going to install xubuntu now. [07:45] BPower: Ah, to add a user to a group use sudo adduser user group [07:46] the_gamer: oh, fun. This is why you don't use rm on things from the package manager. Alright, what we'll need to do is make up a fake a2dismod (/usr/sbin/a2dismod) that returns 0 all the time. [07:46] jdsbluedevl: ok, whatever you have done so far, eth2 has an ip address. what does the roku box do? [07:46] i am using Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20) [07:46] and my internet connectivity shows 14% only why is that? please advice thanks, i am just a few feets away from the wirless router [07:46] installing xfce on top of ubuntu was problematic for me. warning.

I currently use procmail with a system-wide rule that filters flagged spam to Junk Mail. I have a user that is getting unwanted mail from a person that would like to have mail filtered, so I need to figure out how to create a rule just for that specific user that would filter the mail to an IMAP folder.

[07:49] hellwolf06: Yup ^_^ [07:49] theadmin, llutz ^ [07:49] jdsbluedevl: ok, if you right click the icon, select edit connections - what happens next? [07:49] BPower: ps -aux and find the program [07:49] greezmunkey: no icon came up on reboot [07:49] rww, huh? [07:49] rww: There is no dash in "ps aux" [07:49] context?

I saw that suggestion when I got a message "device not managed" [07:52] when I run an update from synaptic my WiFi deauthenticates for some reason [07:52] jdsbluedevl: heh [07:52] hellwolf06: "Ого" on english is "wow" :/ [07:52] BPower: Uh, svn is not running then [07:52] theadmin: how much time will it take to install xubuntu? [07:52] Flannel, works. great! thank you very much :) [07:52] atroy1994: Maybe about 30 minutes. [07:52] theadmin, execute my terminal...XD [07:52] the_gamer: Once you remove all the packages, remove that file ;) [07:52] atroy1994: I don't count the download time [07:52] theadmin, ah actually it is, the first number is my user ID --- so svn is running as me. [07:53] BPower: Uh... It found grep now lol not svn [07:53] greezmunkey: how do I add the NM icon to the taskbar? It isn't coming up again [07:53] BPower: It found the "grep svn" process :D [07:53] jdsbluedevl: network manager will set up ICS, you need to edit the interface connected to the roku, set it under ipv4 to "shared to other computers" [07:53] GSF1200S: I believe it was the mix of gnome and xfce. I liked xfce very much. [07:53] greezmunkey: I lost the icon. How do I get it back? [07:53] greezmunkey: as it is, I lost Internet on reboot [07:53] jdsbluedevl: hmm, I don't have the command handy, let me look. [07:54] theadmin, oh haha true dat. [07:54] GSF1200S: what is the GSF part? [07:54] theadmin, http://ubuntologia.ru/console Консоль это терминал ХД [07:54] jdsbluedevl: you just had it, what did you do? [07:54] theadmin: the dialog box says "remaining time 5 hours" . will i hav to wait for that much time? [07:54] holocene, GSF1200S = Suzuki Bandit 1200S [07:54] greezmunkey: it got lost on the first reboot, and now it's not coming up on the second reboot [07:54] hi all , I have a problem about gedit, I can not open files with gedit, after double click on the icon of the file nothing response, what is wrong? [07:55] jdsbluedevl: hang a sec... [07:55] ouyes, open with --> gedit [07:55] hellwolf06: Да... Кстати, у нас есть русский канал в #ubuntu-ru - а здесь только на английском.

[07:56] how long wil it take to installl xubuntu? [07:56] Loshki: Just explained him, he said "Okay, I'll talk on english" (or similar) [07:56] !ru | loshki [07:56] atroy1994: Told already, about half-an-hour. Grab a cup of cofee [07:56] GSF1200S: I love it. but looking at bmw 1250rt I think. [07:56] theadmin: thanks... [07:56] THX ubottu === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:57] hellwolf06: lol, Ubottu is a bot [07:57] or 1150rt can't recall [07:57] greezmunkey: icon still won't come up [07:57] holocene, nice choice- pretty much all bikes are cool. Im thinking about getting a triumph sprint ST [07:57] I found the problem - it seems to happen when I try running synaptic to update my system [07:57] theadmin, i hate ubottu [07:57] but internet came back [07:57] atroy1994: ya know, there are distros specially designed for the smaller machine if you need them... [07:57] Ah well. I have to leave now. [07:57] the best bot is bestbot [07:57] Hellie, why [07:57] Good luck sorting out your problems everyone. [07:57] GSF1200S: are you in usa? [07:57] holocene, yeah [07:57] greezmunkey: however, I lost eth2 and eth0 from the Network Connections list [07:58] I just have Auto Ethernet [07:58] GSF1200S: triumph has a loyal following [07:58] How can i translate ubuntu in my own way? [07:58] theadmin: but it shows, remaining time = 4 hours? [07:58] greezmunkey: and interfaces is still the same [07:58] jdsbluedevl: whoa, you seem to have a mess on your hands. Obviously this is not a recent install [07:58] Hello all! [07:58] hellwolf06, what language r u translating [07:58] hellwolf06: Go to System-Administration-language support, and install Russian language there, :) [07:58] rocket16, hi my friend. [07:58] Hello hellwolf06, :) [07:59] hello Anirban. [07:59] rocket16, i want to add some swear in ubuntu [07:59] Why does my laptop crash when I try to install something in synaptic? [07:59] Like in errors [07:59] jdsbluedevl: what networking type programs/packages have you installed? [07:59] sorrry, i mean rocket16 [07:59] just firestarter, which I removed [08:00] F***, its a error! [08:00] So to change the ownership to a group, it would be $sudo chown :groupname dir [08:00] right [08:00] ? [08:00] rocket16: i am installing xubuntu [08:00] GSF1200S: I would like to install xubuntu from the actual cd but the download takes a while. I'm scared to "converting" from ubuntu cd to xubuntu install via packages now. [08:00] hellwolf06: Oh sure. Then to to https://translations.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ru to join Russian translation team [08:00] RudyValencia, sounds like ur laptop is hosed [08:00] hellwolf06: Watch your language, please. [08:00] no [08:00] jdsbluedevl: post this please: sudo iptables -L [08:00] atroy1994: Ok, so? But if you take my word, Lubuntu is better than Xubuntu [08:00] Guest34646: it works fine under Windows... [08:00] holocene, im not sure exactly what you mean [08:01] rocket16, i dont whant to help them, i whant to add swear in ubuntu [08:01] jdsbluedevl: pm that paste [08:01] rocket16, hacker style [08:01] Now, what is Lubuntu? [08:01] !lubuntu | atroy1994 [08:01] atroy1994: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu [08:01] hi all [08:01] holocene, if you have ubuntu installed, you just install xubuntu-desktop on top- the only issue is you will take on some extra programs and invariably some bloat- thats your choice [08:01] atroy, its ubuntu with LXDE [08:01] !LXDE [08:01] atroy1994: It is a lighter version of Ubuntu using LXDE system. It is designed to run at lower needs. [08:02] I felt xubuntu was too bloated, so I started distro hopping [08:02] merma, what is the difference [08:02] GSF1200S: yeah. that got me into trouble! But I know the fix now. [08:02] just a quick yes/no is needed :) to grant ownership to a group is this, right? $sudo chown :groupname dir [08:02] even though ubuntu itself is great [08:02] hellwolf06: Sure, just edit the language files in System, :) And it'll work there, [08:02] atroy1994, white !LXDE [08:02] BPower: yes [08:02] it is default to open with gedit [08:02] rww, thanks [08:02] BPower:or chgrp [08:02] rocket16, where are they [08:02] my Update Manager goes crazy [08:02] ouyes, maybe you dont have gedit set to open text files [08:02] Hi vak, welcome to ubuntu irc [08:02] rocket16: but, i am installing xubuntu. what will i do now? [08:02] it is the same by open with -->gedit [08:02] hi rocket16 [08:02] llutz, thanks, i' [08:02] i'll look into chgrp [08:02] jdsbluedevl: nothing special there [08:03] atroy1994: No problem, Xubuntu is nice too. But how are you installing? USing wubi over Internet? [08:03] merma, is that so , then how to set that? [08:03] my Update Manager tries to install again and again the packages that already installed [08:03] vak: :) [08:03] holocene, sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop && sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:03] atroy, Lubuntu is for old Pcs like Pentium III [08:03] !Arch linux [08:03] ouyes, right click on a text file, Properties, Open With, choose gedit [08:03] GSF1200S: You've done that? [08:03] rocket16: i just changed the dekstop environment. [08:03] Hey guys whats arch linux? [08:04] hellwolf06: Go to http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1089399.html here it is provided, :) [08:04] hellwolf06: please use "/msg ubottu !factoidhere" if you're playing with ubottu [08:04] merkelis, failed to open again [08:04] hellwolf06: another distribution, which we don't support. ask #archlinux [08:04] hellwolf06: go to archlinux.org and read [08:04] atroy1994: I see, then is Ubuntu installed in your System? [08:04] more than that, the packages that Update Manager tries to install again and again are Linux kernel ones... :-/ [08:04] hellwolf06, a really awesome linux distro that i use :) [08:05] archlinux is a bunch of hippies working together [08:05] yesterday i installed but nothin happened -rocket16 [08:05] GSF1200S: what is the main diff between arch and ubuntu? [08:05] * rocket16 knows Ubuntu is the greatest distro, to him. He knows that there is no best application but Ubuntu is better than most. [08:05] GSF1200S, its better for customization [08:05] holocene, yeah- its basically a command that says "Install all missing dependenices && install xubuntu-desktop && use dpkg to configure any packages downloaded but not installed" [08:05] atroy1994: So, how are you installing new Desktop Environment there? [08:05] arch operates on the KISS theory [08:05] (keep it simple, stupid) [08:06] GSF1200S: KISS is important! [08:06] !ot [08:06] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:06] why /etc/init.d/service stop does not work in Ubuntu 10.04 ? [08:06] atroy1994: Also, whenever you install anything in Ubuntu, it is installed for free via net. So, it may take hours, if your connection speed is less [08:06] rocket16: i uninstalled ubuntu, [08:06] Ast001: because we switched to upstart. try "sudo service servicenamehere stop". [08:06] with arch, you install a kernel, and you build it up from there. You install the desktop environment you want, the programs you want- nothing else is included [08:06] sounds like slack [08:06] atroy1994: I see. And you tried Wubi again? If not, are you downloading Xubuntu iso file? [08:07] GUI is for newbies [08:07] GSF1200S, holocene: Please take non-Ubuntu discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:07] i am banned at ot [08:07] !ot [08:07] hand slapped... === shade_ is now known as \shade\ [08:07] meh, you guys get my point [08:07] hi all , I have a problem about gedit, I can not open files with gedit, after double click on the icon of the file nothing response, what is wrong? [08:08] hellwolf06: I'm aware of this. I would recommend you not react to this by being offtopic in here. [08:08] hellwolf06: I agree. Best is to operate System using Virtual Consoles, using Irssi for IRC Pine for mails and so, Links for browsing, bc for calculator, mplayer/mpd for music, nano/vim/emacs for editing, :D [08:08] rww how can I disable service from starting in runlevel 2 ?

But if your connection is slow, it will take about 4-6 hours to download package files and install. [08:10] rocket16, what weight is arch [08:10] holocene: unfortunately i have to abandon this conversation lest i be banned for flooding the channel- just do some googling :) [08:10] Ast001: no idea, sorry :( [08:10] hellwolf06: Stop being offtopic in this channel. Arch Linux is offtopic for this channel. [08:10] ok.

[08:17] grahamrw: Also, if you yourself add some backgrounds, you can find them at .wallpapers at your Home folder. [08:18] atroy1994: Might be due to problem ins swapping, and less RAM. In that case, ext4 partitioning and swapping should help. Still, did you try swapping? [08:18] i had this issue previously on a server with a monitor. after installing xubuntu-desktop i had to add getty to tty7. not sure how it works with a serial consoel tho. [08:18] atroy1994: Wubi installation fixes the space for SWap, and reduces performance due to formation of virtual disks. [08:18] no. i did not try swapping. how wiil i do it? === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan [08:19] atroy1994: You need to boot from Live CD at startup, without starting Windows XP. Then, follow the instructions, and in Step 4, Swapping will he available via "Specify Partitions manually" [08:20] hi [08:20] is there any console / terminal editor like nano but with undo? [08:20] neure: Welcome to ubuntu irc, :) [08:20] neure: Use, vim and emacs. :) [08:20] rocket16: ok., i am cancelling xubuntu installation. [08:20] emacs is not like nano [08:20] anyone know how to change the default tty? [08:20] atroy1994: How much time is remaining there??? [08:21] i meant nano as 'for the people who use windows text editors' [08:21] with simple keybindings [08:21] hello [08:21] neure: sudo apt-get install ne [08:21] kpear78, hey [08:21] it says "4 hr 8 mins" remaining. - rocket16 [08:21] can someone help me [08:21] kpear78, sure [08:22] atroy1994: I see. No problem, you can keep it too, I think Xubuntu might be better on your System. Just keep the PC open while you do other tasks, won't that help? [08:22] Hi. How do i reenable the workspace switcher ? i deleted that applet :( [08:22] Guest34646:i have set up unrealircd [08:23] krishna_: Right click panel, and select Add to Panel. Now, select Wrkspace Switcher from the menu, and click add. [08:23] and it is running but howw do i make it live [08:23] rocket16: will i not try swapping? [08:23] kpear78: why not ask on UnrealIRCd channels? [08:23] atroy1994: Xubuntu, when installed using wubi, will make Swapping too. And it uses Xfce desktop environment, which is lighter than Gnome. [08:24] kpear78: you have an ircd problem, not an Ubuntu problem. you're more likely to get better help from the ircd channels. [08:24] kpear78, it is running so it lives [08:24] rocket16, t y . [08:24] Guest34646, i am on the ircd support channel but nobody on [08:24] rocket16: can i pause installation and resume later? [08:24] krishna_: My pleasure, friend, :) [08:24] kpear78: patience. [08:25] atroy1994: Doing that might corrupt the installation, :( [08:25] i was in here earlier with a problem regarding a lucid lynx installation on an older laptop. I've been experiencing a black screen upon start-up and there's been no solution to my problems. [08:25] does anyone have the time to help me right now? [08:25] BBenz: Sure, what is the problem? We all are volunteers here, :) S we'll try [08:26] BBenz: I see, did it boot properly? [08:26] thanks, rocket16. It did not [08:26] BBenz, how old is the laptop [08:27] rocket16: i cannot keep it open for 4 hrs. will that 1st method also take such a long time? [08:27] BBenz: Well, are BIOS settings done properly? If not, restoring them might help. Also, select Boot media as CD. [08:27] BBenz: does it ru correctly from a live session? boot from CD? [08:27] if i tried with jeos... what's should i do to get openbox window-manager works [08:27] *run [08:27] ? [08:27] arc [08:27] h [08:27] y [08:27] atroy1994: No problem, Swapping using Ubuntu CD will take much less, but it is a bit tiresome and hard, especially for new users. [08:27] ert [08:27] hellwolf06: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:28] BBenz: I see, I think there might be some problems regarding Processor Speed and RAM. What are your System dependencies? [08:29] it was purchased new in 2003, guest34646, and I've managed to complete the installation, rocket16. the problem is that the screen immediately goes black once i've passed the initial loading screen [08:29] neure: ee is another choice, easy-editor, for Terminal. [08:29] BBenz: does it run correctly when booting to a live session from CD? [08:29] rocket16: i wil try swapping. if i folllow the steps, u gave yesterday, will it b difficult? [08:29] Heyy guys -- my laptop is running super hot after installing 10.04 - much hotter than 9.10 and Win7. Any idea of what I can do / look into for this sort of problem ? [08:30] what ubuntu release do you use? Bbenz [08:30] atroy1994: I don't think so. But the step 4 is a bit complicated for new users. So, it will work nicely, [08:30] it didn't run off of the live cd, so i installed using the alternate cd. it is installed now, yet the problem persists, mneptok [08:30] BBenz: how much RAM? [08:30] Hedegaard: which part of laptop ... hardisk or the ram.memory? [08:30] 2.4 ghz [08:31] i'm using lucid lynx and i'm trying to install i386 [08:31] BBenz: that's CPU speed. how much memory? [08:31] Exiting because another libpurple client is already running pidgin, Ubuntu 10.04 [08:31] rocket16: if i got stuck somewhere what will i do? [08:31] oh yes, I'm sorry mneptok, one moment [08:31] CPU / GPU I would assume -- hdd is SSD, but the CPU load is maximum of 10-15% [08:32] atroy1994: I don't think you'll get stuck anywhere. Because only 7 steps are there, and all are described there. [08:32] overheating how abotu open n clean your laptop... then add extra fan... [08:32] ok, then i am going to swap now. rocket16 [08:32] BBenz: No problem, use Lubuntu, as its requirements are lower, might help. [08:33] atroy1994: Sure, :) [08:33] Hola all [08:33] Hello Evelene [08:33] fishcooker, lol :) The laptop is fairly new, besides it's not getting hot in Windows--- first time I've heard the fans come on... and then they just exploded to maximum speed [08:33] ola eve [08:33] I nd help! [08:33] Evelene: Sure, how may we help you? [08:33] Exiting because another libpurple client is already running > pidgin, Ubuntu 10.04 [08:33] try this $ htop [08:34] what process the most cpu/ram consuming [08:34] fishcooker, nothing is running --- everything is looking nice and easy [08:34] hedegard: if it's an intel processor you can try running powertop to see what frequency the CPU is at and what's causing it to wake up [08:34] Thanks rocket16, how to add FAcebook support in pidgin? [08:34] fishcooker: you need to install htop first [08:34] ab2, it is. Will try now [08:34] try it $ apt-get install htop [08:34] Evelene: Pidgin does not have Fbook support. Empathy does. [08:34] Evelene: Download Facebook-Chat plugin for Pidgin. Install pidgin plugins pack from synaptic, and you need to enable it in Pidgin [08:35] haven't checked if it's in the repos but i'd imagine it is. [08:35] well, it was running lucid before on a seperate hard-drive, rocket16, but that hard drive failed and now I'm trying to run a fresh install on a new hard disk [08:35] mneptok: Lol, it does, using a plugin, :D [08:35] fishcooker: and ... you'll need sudo [08:35] hi all [08:35] I just realise that if I remove a email from a folder into my email account that email doesn't go to trash folder it is removed completely , my question is could I recover that email by any way? [08:35] Exiting because another libpurple client is already running > pidgin, Ubuntu 10.04 [08:35] why not Pidgin support FB too [08:35] i wish i knew how the last guy got it on there [08:35] oh sorry === xyz is now known as hellyeah [08:35] !repeat > MaMoUs [08:35] MaMoUs, please see my private message [08:35] yip2 # apt-get install htop [08:35] COOL! My facebook plugin was there!!! I enabled it, and is working! Thanks a lot rocket16 [08:35] Evelene: My pleasure, :) [08:36] my pleasure too [08:36] :D [08:36] rocket16: is that plugin installed by default? [08:36] nope... [08:36] * mneptok has not, and will not, use Facebook [08:36] apt-cache search pidgin|grep facebook [08:36] mneptok: No, but it can be installed via Plugins package for Pidgin, :) [08:36] One more question, [08:36] ach so [08:36] ab2, you are a rockstar ... powertop says that the cpu is not stepping down (basically stuk in "Turbo Mode") [08:36] Evelene: Ok, :) [08:37] I saw a fish coming and swimming on desktop. How can it be made? [08:37] then what's the solution hedegaard [08:37] ? [08:37] bios tweaking or sth else? [08:37] Evelene: Press alt+f2, and type "free the fish" without quotes [08:37] Evelene: alt-f2 then typr "free the fish" (no quotes) [08:37] elene: alt F2 and "free the fish" [08:37] fishcooker, I will tell you in a few mins --- but probably just letting it know that it's a laptop should do the trick [08:37] make sure it's enabled in your bios. then you can check your cpu governor. [08:37] thanks rocket16!, :D [08:38] mneptok, Thanks to you too, :D [08:38] Evelene: Our collective pleasure, :) [08:38] Evelene: and the fish is named Wanda ;) [08:38] ab2, would I need two governors with dual core cpu ? [08:38] well, it was running lucid before on a seperate hard-drive, rocket16, but that hard drive failed and now I'm trying to run a fresh install on a new hard disk. i have [08:39] they should be located at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_governor [08:39] How to remove it? [08:39] Evelene: Press alt+f2, and type "pkill gnome-panel" (without quotes) [08:39] that's from a gentoo system but should be the same on ubuntu. [08:39] HA ha ha ha! [08:39] Evelene: :D [08:39] you'd have to check for each core. you want them set to ondemand [08:40] Hello. I need help updating Grub2 after removing reference to an image. [08:40] powertop should show you what frequencies are available too. [08:40] if i have a 64-bit AMD Sempron processor should i install Lucid's 64-bit version, or are there many software issues in 64-bit Ubuntu? [08:40] rocket16, mneptok any more funny thing like that? [08:40] Evelene: Sure, press alt+f2, and type "gegls from outer space" (without quotes). [08:41] rocket16, WOOOW! [08:41] Evelene: :) [08:41] * Evelene hugs rocket16 [08:41] * rocket16 hugs evelene back [08:41] :D [08:41] :D [08:41] i want too [08:41] :D [08:41] mneptok, it has 512 mb ddr [08:42] , ,,,. [08:42] fishcooker: Lol, want what? Fish? [08:42] LoL [08:42] fishcooker, Sorry, I did not understand, :( [08:43] * Evelene hugs fishcooker and rocket16 and mneptok all [08:43] How to autorun a command like echo 3 | sudo tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness at startup ????? [08:43] funny I have to download my windows XP drivers in linux [08:43] :D [08:43] I.E crashes exactly at hpdrivers page :P [08:43] simar: add it to /etc/rc.local, but no sudo needed [08:43] Bye all! Thanks rocket16, you have been most, most helping [08:43] Bye evelene [08:44] jhattara: i've sempron too, but no luck with 64bit [08:44] Cya guys [08:44] i try i386 [08:44] Bye bricky, :) [08:44] theres this dpkg error, Errors were encountered while processing: pidgin-ppa E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) how do i fix it? [08:45] simar: I would put the command in a script and use autostarted apps to run it [08:45] madurax86: I think a reboot might help. Also, is Pidgin closed in your System?If not, close Pidgin, and see it the error exists\ [08:45] llutz, well_laid_lawn thanks both ideas are good [08:46] fishcooker, i installed i386 version already, just thought if i should update it to AMD-64, or is it too much of a trouble [08:46] rocket16: if i tried with jeos then i want to openbox run on my box, what should i do? [08:46] at least memory won't be an issue as there's only 1G in the box [08:47] rocket16: this is there still, its about some trigger in dpkg this error comes up at the end of any package installation, the installed package works but the error is there [08:47] jhattara: no pain at all [08:47] jhattara: i386 > amd64? you would have to reinstall [08:47] madurax86: I see, then it is not installed properly. purge and remove pidgin, and reinstall it, :) [08:47] if u still have sempron .. your mobo still socket 754 [08:47] am i right, jhattara [08:47] rocket16: ok thanks I'll try :) [08:48] fishcooker: First, install openbox. Press Alt+F2, and type "openbox --replace" (without quotes). [08:48] I'm running an nvidia gtx-260 in ubuntu 10.04. I've enabled the restricted drivers. Is there no way to enable desktop effects when using the nvidia driver? THey work when the drivers aren't enabled, but once I enable them I can't turn on the desktop effects anymore. [08:48] Can anyone suggest a really good video player? [08:48] that's all rocket?! [08:48] FlameTail: I like VLC [08:48] fishcooker, no idea about the socket [08:48] oCean_, i'm still in the process of installing the system, only essentials there atm [08:49] I checked out VLC and I like it but it's not very..... Customizable I suppose last time I checked [08:49] fishcooker: Sure, it is, :) "openbox --replace" replaces metacity, and to reenable metacity, type "metacity --replace" [08:49] Has it changed much stanmancan? [08:49] i've no luck with debian-x86_64, jhattara [08:49] FlameTai1: One great Video player is Gxine, which is capable of playing VCDs, DVDs and CDs with ease, :) [08:50] FlameTail: Not sure, I've been using Windows 7 for the longest time. Haven't used any linux distro for much media use [08:50] but if u want u can try it... but no pain at all if u still use i386, jhattara [08:50] stanmancan, alright [08:50] rocket16, I'll check it out =] [08:50] FlameTai1: Sure, :) [08:50] rocket16, can it also play files? [08:50] can someone please tell me if firefox on amd64 is build with large-memory-support (64bit) or if it is i386 like in debian? you can check it with the file command [08:50] AVI etc. etc [08:50] FlameTai1: Surel with ease, [08:50] what package is glibc in~? [08:51] Bye all, [08:51] rocket16, I'll install and check it out then [08:51] jhattara: if you want amd64, you'd have to start install from that image. There is not a whole lot to be gained from using 64 over 32 bit for regular desktop users [08:51] dmarkey: libc6 [08:51] fishcooker, yeah, thought that i386 is easier, at least when not all the hardware is 64-bit [08:51] can ubuntu play dvds [08:52] <_newbie4> hi [08:52] !dvd | Guest34646 [08:52] Guest34646: 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 [08:52] jhattara: everything is also for amd64 (if it is open source) [08:52] <_newbie4> hey, I have a problem with my DVB-T card, to get it works I have to boot first in windows, open media center and then reboot again in Linux.. why? [08:52] iceroot, yeah, but is the hardware so old that it's still 32-bit [08:52] that's up 2 u jhattara... u can reference on iceroot quotes [08:52] jhattara: no [08:53] sorry [08:53] ocean [08:53] i mean [08:53] jhattara: if the driver is open-source there is also always an amd64 version [08:53] jhattara: for getting a 64bit driver you (or the ubuntu maintainers) have just to build the package on amd64 system (what they are doing) [08:54] is amd64 good [08:54] Guest34646: there is nothing bad on it [08:54] LoL [08:54] <_newbie4> somebody help me please to fix this problem? I want to delete all windows partitions, but I don't do this first to fix this issue [08:54] iceroot, i'm not talking about drivers, but rather if the hardware i happen to have would give me any advantage in 64-bit over 32-bit [08:54] one vote 4 iceroot [08:54] LoL [08:54] jhattara: hardware doesnt care about 64bit (except the cpu) [08:54] hey [08:55] Guest34646, never had a problem with it (except 10.04 that doesn't likes fakeraid too much) [08:55] _newbie4,do fresh installation ? [08:55] ok [08:55] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: yes [08:55] security.ubuntu.com seems to be much slower than any other mirror? Is it only one mirror? Is it possibly to use local mirrors for the -security pocket stuff? Or does it ever get mirrored? [08:55] dude i need help regarding installation [08:55] hello [08:55] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: it's a fresh install [08:55] any budy listing mw [08:55] _newbie4, it shouldnt be that hard installing ubuntu as main os [08:55] me? [08:55] iceroot, would the increase in memory use be an issue with 1GB RAM ? [08:56] i want to install ubuntu on my portable hard drive [08:56] jhattara: dont get it [08:56] without destroying my vista partition [08:56] jhattara: you can install amd64 also on systems with less then 4gb ram if you mean that [08:56] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: yep but the problem is that the Dvb-T card dont works if I dont boot first on windows and open it with media center [08:56] iceroot, from what i've read i understood that 64-bit OS uses more memory than 32-bit OS [08:56] hallucination, if u want to install ubuntu on usb hdd u need a diffrent boot loader [08:57] hello jhattara [08:57] jhattara: its using larger registers but you wont see/feel that [08:57] hallucination, i don't think grub will boot from usb [08:57] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: and after rebboting on linux it works and show me all channels [08:57] jhattara: so its not that amd64 is using 100mb ram or more [08:57] michaeldobrovits, that depends on your setup [08:58] if rite now i have i386 installed, then i want to upgrade to x86_64 version ... n partition /usr/local on the separate partition, is it possible to migrate?! [08:58] _newbie4, are you on ubuntu right now ? [08:58] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: yes [08:58] fishcooker: only reinstall [08:58] _newbie4, and this Dvb-T card is for the media center ? [08:58] Hedegaard, what do you mean, will grub work from usb?, how do you do that? [08:58] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: yes [08:58] fishcooker: you can stay with your old /usr/local [08:59] _newbie4,youre telling me you want to use youre Dvb-T card to watch tv on youre ubuntu ? lol [08:59] michaeldobrovits: grub won't boot, but your bios could... [08:59] manual mounting will be working... === Remixman_ is now known as Remixman [08:59] hello iceroot [08:59] morning [08:59] USMAN: hi [08:59] hi I'm having problems with my network interface... /etc/init.d/networking restart requires 30-40 seconds to run [08:59] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: yes but in this moment I'm watching Tv because I've started first on windows, but I don't want this to do everytime... I just want to boot directly on ubuntu and get it works [08:59] michaeldobrovits, haven't done it for a long time but we did it for booting on NAND on an iMX51 -- we switched to redboot later on though [08:59] Hedegaard, so u'd need to use syslinux or maybe some other boot loader [09:00] fishcooker: using dhcp? [09:00] i have a problem in ubuntu can you solve it? [09:00] fishcooker: sorry wrong nick [09:00] the speed throttles in an unexpected way [09:00] ff88: using dhcp? [09:00] _newbie4, i suggest you try to use that Dvb-T card with MythTV [09:00] iceroot: no [09:00] michaeldobrovits, all depends on a lot of different things :) but yes, there are easier ways around it than grub [09:00] !ask | USMAN [09:00] USMAN: 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. :-) [09:00] ff88: wifi? [09:00] <_newbie4> ac1dburnz: tried, same thing...

[10:25] Does anyone here know anything about splashtop? [10:26] BPower: yes, but restrict it to only those dirs, the webserver really needs writeaccess [10:26] thank you simar for welcoming me [10:26] erUSUL, whats that [10:26] llutz, it was installed without ownership [10:27] TommyH: its a linux distro equipped in ASUS EEEPC 1201T [10:27] llutz, *by default [10:27] simar: a daemon used by programs to comunicate with each other [10:27] llutz, I'd prefer if we both had write access -- that's what I'm trying to do....

So who's still awake and willing to help out? [10:29] TommyH: What? [10:29] in Google found nothing [10:29] Zeu5: you can install it easily with the terminal, can you use one? [10:29] llutz, thanks -- testing it now [10:29] Well, I was looking to maintain the Web button splashtop instant on thing on my vaio with installing Ubuntu, but i guess that is not possible? [10:30] help\ [10:30] hi Galerien [10:30] wat a coincidence to see u here [10:30] Hello, anyone know how to boot ubuntu server in really safe mode ? When i boot system (also in recovery mode) during startup, soon after message: [10:30] > Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... [10:30] i think i have to uninstall my xampp first [10:30] > Done [10:30] system probably changes display mode ( fonts becomes different, thinner ), then everything disapears, monitor turns off, and system hangs up. [10:30] then i will go try [10:30] Thad: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:30] lamp [10:31] So here's the deal: [10:31] I'm dual-booting with the oh so famous Windows, and I'm looking into remote desktop software for both OS's. [10:31] llutz, hm doesn't seem to be workin' :( [10:31] Hi! Good morning for everyone! [10:31] !time CET [10:31] But the deal is, using grub, it's fairly simple to boot back into windows.. by setting the Grub default.. [10:31] But if I'm connected remote, I can't create a way to boot back into linux! [10:31] I got my issue fixed with my broadcom BCM4306 [10:32] Well then put Cton egroupware? [10:32] I used ndiswrapper for the driver :) [10:32] Hmm, that command worked yesterday... [10:32] Zeu5: query me if you want some help [10:32] erUSUL, ok [10:32] BPower: i guess apache needs to write to some more dirs inside wp-dir, chgrp/chmod them too [10:32] I think there's a bug in b43 in Ubuntu Lucid [10:32] Is there any kind of Ubuntu alternative to splashtop? [10:32] erUSUL, it means it take output of one program to input of another ??? [10:32] llutz, ya, I did it recursively recursively recursively recursively ... [10:32] ???? [10:32] :-P [10:32] what? [10:33] TommyH: No not till now. You need ubuntu for netbooks? [10:33] installed egroupware but I can not enter [10:33] ubulucid: I have a laptop, its a Vaio core i3 blah blah blah, I just like the option of splashtop when I'm on the go and I dont wan't to lose the feature [10:34] simar: no; is what empathy uses to tell the memenu that someone in your list is online. or what evolution use to tell whatever is listening that a new mail arrived etc... [10:34] why there was a kernel update yesterday and another today? [10:34] Galerien: hi does this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP work for development on Lucid? [10:34] llutz: I decided to use gparted to resize extended partition... [10:34] i just need to get my cakeapp running on my laptop running on lucid so i can stop all this fiddling and jump back to work [10:34] TommyH: Hard luck! Splashtop is not that advanced, its a very low memory short embed. Not possible [10:34] hi??? [10:35] TommyH: Hard luck! Splashtop is not that advanced, its a very low memory short embed. Not possible if you install other OS apart from from given [10:35] Zeu5: since 9.04 (I think) there is a easy way to install lamp [10:35] how to restore grub [10:35] I'm using Lucid Lynx, and have an nVIDIA video card. If I want to change the value of Digital Vibrance, the setting panel exits. But why? [10:35] simar: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus [10:35] llutz: in a few minutes I'll know if I am stupid or ...totally stupid :) [10:35] Galerien: wat is that easy way you speak of? [10:35] Zeu5: "sudo tasksel" [10:35] nyuszika7h: use nvidia-settings [10:35] ubulucid: ahh i see! thanks! [10:35] sorry, I had to find the right spelling [10:35] can anyone tell me how do i restore my grub after installing windows [10:35] erUSUL, thanks a lot thats what i want a good source .. [10:35] comag: That's what I'm using. [10:36] llutz: 2 of 3 operations complete... [10:36] GPU 0 - (GeForce Go 7300) -> DFP-0 - (AUO) [10:36] Here are the Digital Vibrance and Image Sharpening options. [10:36] Galerien: i saw lamp server [10:36] If I try to change any of them, the window closes. [10:36] Zeu5: and then you find lamp and install, it should be ok [10:36] but i press enter i left the screen [10:37] Exiting because another libpurple client is already running. [10:37] * vak is resizing extended partition... [10:37] i go back to sudo tasksel apparently lamp server not installed [10:37] need help in egroupware [10:37] TommyH: You don't seem to be satisfied. Kindly read Limitaions from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashtop [10:37] need help in pidgin please [10:37] Zeu5: you need to highlight lamp, press spacebare, then enter [10:38] MaMoUs:Ok, what is the problem? [10:38] Hey rocket16 [10:38] Extended partition is resized, guys, wish me some luck, I am rebooting :) [10:38] Hello ubulucid, any problem? [10:38] llutz, got it working [10:38] Galerien: oh spacebar [10:38] rocket16: Is there a way to get old changes in RSS? [10:38] Galerien: thanks i am really new to this [10:38] rocket16: the problem is it suddenly exit, here is the crash error (Exiting because another libpurple client is already running) [10:38] llutz, i set the ownership to www-data and the group to my username. [10:38] hey guys, does anyone know how to change the run level so that my server doesn't boot to X by default? [10:38] yes, you need to select it, and then lanch the application [10:39] (you could select several task) [10:39] is there a script or command to inihibit suspend when downloading? if xchat has a transfer going, it will be aborted because of gpms suspend. xchat doesnt send a dbus to inhibit apparently [10:39] rocket16: how to fix it ?? [10:39] MaMoUs: I think you need to kill the libpurple process in System-Monitor. Also, was there any plugin recently added? [10:39] rocket16: Rss displays only recent changes as feeds and add them, i want old one as well.......... any way?. [10:39] ubulucid: hmmm! that seems interesting, I guess I'm still confused, why do I lose splashtop when I install Ubuntu if it's built into motherboard flash? [10:39] ubulucid: Sorry, :( No idea [10:40] rocket no man, nothing i just use msn and xfire thats all no plug in or any thing [10:40] MaMoUs: Also, try upgrading Pidgin to the latest version, 2.7.1 [10:40] i did [10:40] TommyH: What do you mean by motherboard flash? The answer is this.. [10:40] rocket16: i think the problem starts when i update it [10:41] Now I ran nvidia-settings from the terminal, tried to adjust Digital Vibrance again, and got an error message! Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/444515/ [10:41] llutz, thanks a bunch :) [10:41] MaMoUs: Ok, now I think restarting Pidgin might help. It it still crashes, purge pidgin and reinstall it, [10:41] peace [10:41] g'morning [10:41] rocket16: i did all of that [10:41] rocket16: i even remove the .purple [10:42] ubulucid: well based on the link you sent me, they said most boards have an embedded 512 mb flash memory that stores the operating system, meaning if i take out the hard drive it should still boot splashtop [10:42] how do i get my wireless mouse to load the drivers at startup? [10:42] survived after partition resizing :) :) [10:42] rocket is there a way that i could get back pidgin 2.7.0 ?? [10:42] vak: gg \o/ [10:42] hehe :) [10:42] TommyH: Splashtop is not very flexible yet and is not like any other OS. Its like Google chrome OS. And its not like it is part of motherboard. That's a;; i can say now [10:43] rocket16: is there a way that i could get back pidgin 2.7.0 ?? [10:43] TommyH: Does splashtop boot if you remove HDD? [10:43] ubulucid: you know I dont really know, because it's a laptop and i dont want to take out the hard drive and mess with it [10:43] what would you use in Ubuntu 10.04 to check logical consistency of all FS after partition resizing? [10:44] but when i install Ubuntu, the splashtop no longer works [10:44] Anyone? (Read back, I don't want to repeat myself.)

[10:47] i have an iso that md5 not mach with real md5 ... some body told me i can do this with torrent ! how i can ? [10:47] tau: Install Kubuntu. [10:47] What can we expect from the next Ubuntu 10.10 release.? any idea..? I hope it will completely knock down the windows OS from desktop.... [10:48] tau: i think the package is called kubuntu-desktop [10:48] Ubuntu has only GNOME and Kubuntu has only KDE. [10:48] nyuszika7h: when i seek for kubuntu at synaptic i didn't encounter the package to install it. [10:48] Xzil0: i tried for kubuntu-desktop but i didn't find. [10:48] tau: You need to download it for ubuntu.com! [10:48] tau, the package is kubuntu-desktop [10:48] *from [10:48] nyuszika7h, not so [10:48] tau: kubuntu-desktop [10:48] tau: Xzil0 is correct, kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage [10:49] bazhang: Huh? [10:49] oCean_: oh, sure. [10:49] atleast it was on 9.04 [10:49] how do i get my wireless mouse to load the drivers at startup? [10:49] but isn't it possibile to download by synpatic ? [10:49] is it possible to install KDE on Ubuntu or is that a bad idea? [10:49] TommyH, it is fine [10:49] TommyH: yes,no [10:49] haha [10:49] tau: I don't know, try it. But if you want KDE, I'd recommend you to download Kubuntu from ubuntu.com. [10:49] type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in terminal [10:49] tau === MrNaz_yma is now known as MrNaz [10:49] i seek for kubuntu-desktop i only get kubuntu-debug-installer, is it the correct ? [10:50] TommyH: Splashtop shouldn't interfere installation of another OS. It is strictly read-only, and if you install other OS, you should have dual boot option. Moreover, its complex since the Splashtop is in motherbord and user Os is in HDD. So, it may or may not reflect Splashtop. But again if the Splashtop is geeting erased, you need to check the hardware since its not serving the advantage of Splashtop then :) [10:50] tau, of course it is; install the package kubuntu-desktop [10:50] any ubuntu netinstall? [10:50] Bersam: what's there to debug? The download is incomplete/broken [10:50] bazhang: oh , sure, thank you.

Just a thought. [11:08] ubotto...wat to do know?? [11:08] So nobody knows any performance tweaks for Terminal?

[11:08] J_Dubyew: google for terminus font [11:09] So switch to truetype or opentype font? Okay thanks [11:09] _L30_: pureos? you are not using ubuntu? [11:09] J_Dubyew: no, switch to bitmap fonts [11:09] nyuszika7h, dont randomly send people factoids if you don't know when they are appropriate [11:09] hi all [11:09] <_L30_> llutz: im on ubuntu [11:09] Bitmap okay [11:09] _L30_: why installing ...-pureos then? [11:09] <_L30_> well came across this wierd error [11:09] how can i block google talk using squid proxy?? [11:09] bazhang: Sorry... [11:09] Oh yeah 2 more questions [11:10] ranjan: that's not really an ubuntu question. [11:10] 1) For some reason Ubuntu looks generally blurry even though I'm running on a fairly high resolution, any ideas why? [11:10] SwedeMike, Thats not the answer i want. [11:10] _L30_: you should just install the kernels the updates are providing you (current 2.6.32-22) [11:10] Guest2978, Maybe if you change to a non privileged account on your machine you might get into #backtrack-linux [11:10] and 2) Evolution e-mail doesn't work and it never asked for a password for my e-mail account while Firefox Thunderbird works fine what should I do? [11:10] J_Dubyew: if your using an LCD monitor, change your resolution to the monitors native resolution [11:11] <_L30_> oCean_: even they are installed [11:11] J_Dubyew: dont use evolution [11:11] <_L30_> they too dont show up [11:11] J_Dubyew: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts tab [11:11] Okay yeah gonnna stick with Thunderbird and yeah figured out the font thanks [11:11] ranjan: eiter it's a "how does google talk communicate over http"-question, or it's a squid question "how do I implement this filter in squid", neither is really on-topic for #ubuntu. [11:11] and how do I calculate the native resolution? [11:12] J_Dubyew: should be on the back of the monitor on in the manual that came with it [11:12] J_Dubyew: Did you install the driver for your video card? [11:12] Yeah my video card is up to date and this is a fairly old monitor so can't find the info for it will look at the back [11:12] J_Dubyew: google for the model number, it's usually displayed in the data sheet. [11:13] ok, using rdesktop and dual screen setup.. how can I enable full screen on monitor #2 with rdesktop? [11:13] Yeah found the native, but here's the weird thing [11:13] I WAS running at the native, but lowering the resolution made it look sharper [11:14] Okay upgraded the res looks sharper thanks for the help guys [11:15] I have a question regarding the use of Win-key (meta key). I can not assign it for any shortcut key combination (even after the guide on http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/windows-key-as-shortcut-in-gnome.html) [11:15] what am I doing wrong (Ubuntu 10.04) [11:15] what does sudo apt-get build-essential contain? [11:15] What bitmap font would you guys recommend that looks nice but has a performance increase [11:16] Not MASSIVELY bothered since there's only slight slowdown when I switch between desktops then it works fine [11:16] is there a quick way to disable the ubuntu splash screen to see the boot up messages? [11:16] emino, edit the boot strap options in grub before it boots [11:16] <_L30_> oCean_: i even have 2.6.32-22 installed yet they are not being shwn in grub menu [11:16] no keyboard shortcut? [11:16] Diverdude, see --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/build-essential [11:16] J_Dubyew: I'm using Dingbats. [11:16] only when I press alt-ctrl-del, will it show me text, but just briefly, before it reboots [11:17] DIngbats okay [11:17] I'd also like to know how I can see a screen like in PCLinuxOS, and not that ugly 640×480 boot logo. [11:18] Wow thanks a lot for the suggestion there's is no visual difference between the fonts [11:18] which tool can i use for screen video capture/ [11:18] ? [11:18] Be right back [11:19] which tool can i use for screen video capture? [11:19] thanks [11:19] it worked [11:19] mechdave, i see it contains g++ (>= 4:4.3.1) , is it possible to get it with the 4.0.0 version? [11:19] nyuszika7h: in /boot/grub/grub.cfg add vga=791 to the end of the kernel line [11:20] !screencast > exploit100 [11:20] exploit100, please see my private message [11:20] how can i get grub do display a boot menu at startup? [11:21] Diverdude, I don't know, you might have to do a little googling to find it :) [11:21] well_laid_lawn: To end of which line? [11:22] nyuszika7h: the line that names the kernel [11:22] As a political activist it might be needed to shut off your laptop immediately. Like cutting the power on a desktop, except on a laptop the battery kicks in. what is the best way to do this? [11:22] nyuszika7h, did you check the grub2 wiki? you never directly edit the grub.cfg [11:23] !grub2 > nyuszika7h [11:23] nyuszika7h, please see my private message [11:23] pc1: Hold the power button for N seconds (like 5 or so) is probably the quickest way (besides just yanking the battery as well as the power) [11:24] Flannel: not fast enough [11:24] anyone able to point me in the right direction for help. I'm having trouble hibernating an Eee 900 with 10.04 [11:24] bazhang: Then, what should I do? [11:24] pc1: That's the fastest you're going to get. [11:25] nyuszika7h, did you read the bot linked grub2 wiki yet? [11:25] bazhang: yes, I'm reading that now [11:25] mechdave, ok, i think i have found a g++ 4.0 package here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/g++-4.0 How do i make it show up in my terminal when using apt-get install? [11:26] flannel: well, i once had problems with a dirty heatsink, above 100 degr it shuts off form bios, is there a way to simulate that? === Galerien is now known as galmiam [11:27] pc1: You could do alt-sysrq-o possibly [11:27] ubottu, thanks [11:27] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [11:28] That isn't emulating the hardware shutdown, but just sending a "turn off" command straight to the kernel. But if you're on a laptop you might need more than just three fingers to do that. [11:28] bazhang: Help, please! [11:28] ubottu, THANKS [11:28] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [11:28] LOL [11:28] is it possible for me to recover my data from the trash.. i have already emptied the trash box [11:29] not really [11:29] how to switch to normal desktop mode in netbook remix? permanently [11:29] on my ubuntu i got this shadows on the panel and windows, buggin me :S [11:29] anyone know how to get rid of em ? [11:29] ac1dburnz, disable desktop effects [11:30] MrDudle, you're very fast! I also tried to say that. :) [11:30] ah, is there a way to make the windows decoration glow, like on sabayon ? [11:30] ac1dburnz, try compiz fusion [11:30] that may work [11:30] How do i install this package using sudo apt-get install ? http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/g++-4.0 [11:30] nyuszika7h, I'm just a very fast typist. I spend 90% of my time typing. [11:31] MrDudle, i have compiz how do i get to the setting ? [11:31] Diverdude, Why is it that you need an old version of g++? [11:31] ac1dburnz, no clue. [11:31] I'd assume it can do it, but I don't use compiz. [11:31] * MrDudle likes his desktop to be simple [11:31] mechdave, because i need to compile a special type of files called mex files which requires max 4.0 [11:31] MrDudle, yhowd you type so fast :S [11:31] what? [11:32] MrDudle, you type really fast, like a lightning :P [11:32] MrDudle: How many words you type per minute? I type 70-80. [11:32] flannel: that worked verry good :):):) how the hell did you know that? [11:32] I type 120+ [11:32] omg [11:33] MrDudle: I only reached 112 wpm with one of my favorite quotes: [11:33] Live out of your imagination, not your history. [11:33] Diverdude, you are using MATLAB? [11:33] Live out of your imagination, not your history.

[11:40] of course [11:40] 2.6.32-21-powerpc, KungFuBear [11:41] it is impossible to read that xml file?? [11:41] I use kde4.4.2 on 10.04.

[11:41] helló [11:41] i can get them from kernel.org .. but i would like to use the ubuntu ones [11:41] Koen__: That is a good start. Your partitions probably are named something like: sd0, sd1, sd3. Make sure Linux is on sd0, not windows [11:41] blinded: alright, a moment [11:41] Guest88779, do not pm me. Thank you. [11:42] ubuntu-cn got spam [11:42] and how do i do that kungfubear? is their any program i can use in windows... [11:42] because i can't get into my linux...

[11:44] when I'm clicking .desktop file, in gnome, it tells that 'it was not checked for safety' and doesn't run it, how to fix it? [11:44] Koen__, did you unmount sda1 before installing linux [11:45] not that i'm aware of... [11:45] Koen__: I would suggest manually setting up your partitions when you install Ubuntu. Have you ever done that before? [11:45] Koen__, when you reboot hit F12 [11:45] drizzt_: Just chmod +x it or set the executable flag then run it from your terminal [11:45] see if it shows up [11:46] heya guys [11:46] nope never done that [11:47] hiya guys [11:47] hi [11:47] Diverdude, looks like you might have to explore your MATLAB disk a little and read the 2009 ubuntu docs as well --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB/R2009b. you might be able to piece together an install on that :) [11:47] Koen__: I see. It can be rather confusing I suppose. Personally, I like to use Gparted to set up my partitions the way I want them. Then I install Linux/Windows in the pre-built partitions. But you don't have to do it this way... [11:47] how to convert chinese character to english? [11:48] Try google translate? [11:48] Guest82489, how long is the file?

[11:48] eg.=bž9|$ [11:48] lol [11:49] here=http://pastebin.com/iWVCQXCM [11:49] looking now [11:49] gparted is it a tool you can run without win or lin [11:49] dont know what that xml say [11:49] Good day folks [11:49] Koen__: You will probalby want an ext4 filesystem for Linux, and have a linux-swap partition as well. Make sure you leave an NTFS filesystem partition for windows. Insure that your ext4 partition is the first partition listed. Install Ubuntu on that partition. Afterwards, install Windows on the NTFS partition. When your computer boots, it should boot the GRUB boot loader === THZone is now known as Guest59886 === Guest59886 is now known as Hardyh [11:50] Guest82489, thats not mandarin [11:50] Koen__: Gparted is software that runs much like Ubuntu LiveCD. It allows you to make partitions and format partitions on your hard drive [11:50] then??what language? [11:50] Guest82489, no clue [11:50] i completely not know [11:50] Hi [11:51] have tool for ubuntu to convert it? [11:51] Hello? [11:51] okej, i'm gonna give that a shot KungFuBear, Thx alot for ur information [11:51] Guest82489, describe what you are trying to do, all on one line, and perhaps someone can help you-->why do you need to read/edit that .xml file [11:51] !hi | blue_ [11:51] blue_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [11:51] Anybody? [11:51] Koen__: You don't need GParted, You can set up all of those partitions with the Ubuntu install disc, but not the Windows install disc [11:51] ofc thx MrDudle aswell for helping and all the others... [11:51] is there a simple and easy to install upnp software for ubuntu 8.04? I want to install it along eBox [11:52] Diverdude, or you could download gcc 4.0 and install that... [11:52] Koen__: You're welcome, good luck :). It doesn't really hurt to format your computer, so if you mess up, you can just try again :) [11:52] Guest82489, what is that file?

[11:52] Diverdude, --> http://gcc.gnu.org/ [11:52] blue_, yes, ask a question if you have one [11:53] mechdave, but it requires me to compile the compiler right? [11:53] i only need to know it and hope i can learn something [11:53] Guest82489, it can be gzip or zlib compressed or plain damaged... or encrypted [11:53] i need to make a shortkey for alt-sysrq-o and replace it for a-s-d but every time i hit alt-sysrq-o it shuts down lol [11:53] Diverdude, quite possibly [11:53] Guest82489, well absent more info, no one can help with that. Please try to clarify why you need, what you are trying to learn [11:53] i dont think xml is compressed format [11:54] mechdave, so what compiler is used for that?

[12:46] jrib, I think it is because it has to be run with sial user and not with root user [12:46] ftab: find and -exec. Or you can use **/* in bash. Try: ls **/* to see what it does [12:47] iguannna: so put it in sial's crontab, not root's? [12:47] where is the sial's crontab?

[13:07] yes [13:07] !who | cjxgm [13:07] cjxgm: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [13:07] apt-get install apt [13:07] cjxgm: That will not remove those packages. [13:08] cjxgm: So, you must have entered another command as well. [13:08] Ilm using Ubuntu Hardy 8.10 and when I finished GRUB MENU changed to 8.10! [13:08] civixier: Since we have no idea what you have done, it may be hard to diagnose. Here is some material about audio [13:08] ! audio | civixier [13:08] civixier: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [13:08] ! pulseaudio | civixier [13:08] civixier: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [13:08] what partition type should i use for a 6TB volume? primary, extended, or logical? [13:08] Sorry. "I'm using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and when I finished GRUB MENU changed to 8.10!" [13:08] soreau: thanks, ill dig through that. [13:09] dowxp: whats it for? [13:09] cjxgm: Please start from the beginning, as your story isn't making much sense. What commands did you enter, what did you expect them to do? [13:09] file storage, samba share [13:09] another test [13:09] cjxgm: try to solve one issue at a time... [13:09] I have an Ubuntu installation with danish spell control. How do I get english spell controll to? [13:10] Chriskip: Please test elsewhere, like ##test, as #ubuntu is already very busy. [13:10] ok [13:10] Hey, I had a problem with fast-user-switch applet failing to load so deleted it and reinstall gnome-applets. I can't work out how to readd it to the panel now though as it's not available under "Add to Panel..." [13:11] dowxp: i'd make and extended partition, that way you can have any number of logical partitions inside it should you change your mind [13:11] mahdi190: you are best to ask in the channel rather than privately, that way more people are able to try and answer [13:11] i see [13:11] Beanstar: You dont see User Switcher in the list od add-to-panel? [13:11] thanks [13:11] np [13:11] who can help me with my problem in ubuntu [13:11] ? [13:12] mahdi190: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [13:12] mahdi190: no one, if you do not ask your question [13:12] soreau: Nope and it's not there on my other 10.04 install either (which didn't have the problem) [13:12] mahdi190: What's the problem?! [13:12] hey is there any good console based msn clients ? [13:12] soreau: :) [13:12] soreau: Oh wait [13:12] soreau: Regular user switcher is there but it's not the same thing [13:13] soreau: The normal one integrates Pidgin/Empathy status into itself [13:13] Beanstar: well I dont have this fast user switcher item in my 10.04, just regular user switcher [13:14] Beanstar: That thing is "Indicator applet" [13:14] how do you install unr on a eeepc 901? [13:14] theadmin: In which case it's missing from my indicator applet [13:14] TenPhil: unetbootin [13:15] and a thimg drive [13:15] I deleted Ubuntu Official Source before. Today I added it into sources.list and then ran "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get upgrade". I pressed ctrl+c and it quited. Then the new packages can not be upgraded. So i type "sudo apt-get install pkg-name" myself. After I ran "sudo apt-get install apt" successfully, something such as aptitude, gnome-app-install, synaptic, update-manager and so on were removed automatically! How can I recover them? [13:15] ubottu, this is my crontab for the sial user: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Gk3QbXUa [13:15] iguannna: ubottu is a bot [13:15] mickster04: problem is I get an Error 2 when I try to boot up after install [13:15] theadmin: I mean this feature in particular http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1Ko0Y6TOtbQ/S4Re0elF_7I/AAAAAAAAAOk/9nsdgImBVoA/s400/Screenshot-4.png [13:15] but I get the error: /bin/sh: sial: not found [13:15] thats grub? [13:15] sorry [13:15] :) [13:15] iguannna: in user's crontab's you don't have a username field [13:15] -' [13:15] Hi all. How can I check what fonts are currently installed on my box? [13:16] I need your help! [13:16] cjxgm: what were you trying to do in the first place? it would be easier to install fresh [13:17] jrib, Hello, how to modify pidgin.desktop file to add that LANGUAGE variable to the Exec= line ? [13:17] jrib, I have read nothing about username field [13:17] TenPhil: isnt that a grub error? [13:17] jrib, could you explain to me? [13:17] cjxgm: why did you delete the repo from the sources list and re-add it? [13:17] I just stopped "sudo apt-get upgrade" by pressing ctrl+c [13:17] hi ereryone [13:18] iguannna: right. There isn't one in a user's crontab. You have to delete "sial" [13:18] Because the official source is slow in China [13:18] jrib, and to put in root ? [13:19] Um, this is probably a crazy question, but ubuntu didn't reverse the nice priorities did they? [13:19] But now i want to install the latest packages, so I re-added it [13:19] because at least I have to give a user name, haven't I? [13:19] cjxgm: if it was still in the download phase, it shouldnt have made any changes unless you told it to do a partial upgrade or continue with only packages it had [13:19] Pip: I don't know offhand. If just using "LANGUAGE=ru_RU pidgin" on the exec doesn't work or if you want to know if there is a nicer way, read http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ with me [13:19] mickster04: yes I do believe it is. [13:19] If I renice a process to 10, it seems to get worse instead of better [13:19] logankoester: what does "worse" mean? [13:20] cjxgm: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [13:20] 可以中文吗？ [13:20] http://s6.tinypic.com/66ja6g.jpg <- this is the thing that i'm missing right now from my panel [13:20] TenPhil: well load up he live usb and mount the hdd and reinstall grub on it...? [13:20] jrib: By worse I mean, more cpu time seems to be allocated to it instead of less [13:20] logankoester: ah, strange [13:20] mickster04 tried that. [13:20] The video driver gave up working... [13:20] TenPhil: what happened? [13:20] still error 2 [13:21] TenPhil: what is error 2? [13:21] jrib: so as far as you know, -20 is still high priority and 20 is still low, correct? [13:21] logankoester: that's my understanding, yes (well 19 is least favorable, no 20) [13:21] i have a problem with my notebook's memory card reader [13:21] Okay, it is probably all in my head [13:21] thanks man [13:21] it doesn't work in ubunto [13:22] what should i do? [13:22] hey guys, ubuntu newb here, just wondering if anyones having graphical problems with the the 10.04 release [13:22] try installing thr driver [13:23] for your graphics card [13:23] Pip: did what I say solve your issue? [13:23] erm, *said* [13:24] arid: its fully updated [13:24] How do I install the an additional module in eBox? Specifically network and firewall? [13:24] jrib, I am still reading that page, but slow in understanding, so if you know, could you let me know ? [13:24] it seems that nobody wants to help me [13:24] where did 'connect to server' go in lucid nautilus? (or was that some additional package?) [13:24] Pip: I don't see how to do it from that page, but did my suggestion of just making the Exec line read "LANGUAGE=ru_RU pidgin" work? [13:25] No [13:26] Pip: one way to do this would be to just create a small shell script with "LANGUAGE=ru_RU pidgin" in it and then Exec the path to that script [13:26] mickster, seems like it can't recognise drives... [13:26] haha [13:27] how many other folks have seizurting dekstops? lol [13:27] hello every body [13:27] question just uprading to a AMD 64x6 core black chip and new asus MB is ubuntu 10.4 compatable with it [13:27] Bonjour je suis un bleu [13:27] I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on my notebook [13:27] !fr | fanfan [13:27] fanfan: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

I got a panasonic camera which has software that apparently can only be installed in windows or mac systems. If i read it right, I need to install WINE so that it can install properly - right? [14:00] home: software to do what exactly? Most Digital camers can work as a usb storage drive/device and dont really need extra software [14:00] Could someone explain to me how can I install "book antiqua" font or some similar one? [14:00] home: depends , have you tried plugging it's data card in ? [14:00] home: if the software has some features you like . you could try installing it with wine. [14:00] handjob: one way.. download the font (or get it from somewhere) copy it to the users .fonts dir. [14:01] handjob: is that one of the MS fonts? or where does it come from? [14:01] dr-willis, this software takes the video files and allows you to design ur own video, pretty. [14:01] home: try it in wine then.

[14:02] handjob: then find the font file from somewhere. copy to .fonts [14:02] I get a kernel panic (scaling_cur_freq) when running a certain application. How do I fix/prevent this?

Do you know what could I do ? Also, is it normal that a 8.04 LTS Server version is unattended in that way ? [14:09] gnomefreak: kaushal is abusing you === sree is now known as sreR [14:10] Hey quick question does Linux really need a firewall? [14:10] If i update my system, will it delete my custom configuring files? [14:10] J_Dubyew: absolutely yes === root is now known as Guest62929 [14:10] Guest70348: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [14:10] Well I just uninstalled it since it was playing up with my connection i.e IRC [14:10] kaushal: ki gand me danda [14:11] I Know how to open ports but can't be bothered since I heard LInux is a helluva lot more secure than Windows?

[14:11] jungli, kaushal stop it or you will be removed [14:11] usr13: 8.04.04 LTS [14:11] So is Linux much more secure than windows? [14:11] J_Dubyew: no [14:11] bazhang: I am not the one [14:12] please understand [14:12] Okay well is it more secure virus wise? [14:12] J_Dubyew: That really depends on your network / LAN. Linux is less vulnerable than MS Windows systems when implemented properly, (with strong passwords etc...), and an external or stand-alone firewall is always more effective. [14:12] kaushal: type /ignore nick to ignore messages from anyone annoying you [14:12] J_Dubyew: and justdave it is but it depends on what you do with it and what you mean by more secure [14:12] !virus | J_Dubyew [14:12] J_Dubyew: 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 [14:12] kaushal, stay on topic or you will be removed [14:12] oCean_: sure and thanks [14:13] J_Dubyew: You need not worry about virus problems when on a Linux system. [14:13] usr13: if you are running a windows server you kind of do [14:13] Yeah viruses is what I was talking about mainly, so I just need a firewall to protect myself against hackers? [14:13] And if that is the case what ports do I need to open for XChat? [14:13] gnomefreak: Please elaborate.... [14:14] J_Dubyew: Do you have a router? [14:14] gnomefreak: The question was about a Linux system, (not windows). [14:14] hi. I've got a fresh install of lucid, and it seems like I am constantly running into "device or resource busy" issues with mounted folders (either via halevt or truecrypt) that have since been unmounted.. anyone ever ru ninto that? [14:14] Yeah I do I already have ports opened on the router itself but normally don't need to for IRC [14:14] J_Dubyew: indeed. Don't run programs connecting to the internet as root, that's basic security [14:14] nothing shows up in lsof or /proc for the path or device that was mounted [14:15] usr13: while Linux file system is fairly hard to infect (it is possible) but having a local windows server(file system) can be infected as can a windows partion in Lionux [14:15] and it's not mounted, yet i can't rmdir the path [14:15] hi all. [14:15] So what ports would I need to open in the firewall itself for Linux? [14:15] I'm using the one that lets you customise the cfw firewall I think [14:15] http://tinyurl.com/cathunt [14:15] main menu bar disappeared in gnome application how i can recover it [14:15] does anyone know why i cannot print to windows 7 shared printer? [14:15] J_Dubyew: You don't need to worry about a firewall. You can just use your routers. [14:15] artista: why would you spam that? [14:16] i have installed all versions of ubuntu and the print support is still wack [14:16] gnomefreak: A windows partition will not effect a linux system. So.. do not see how that is relevant. [14:16] J_Dubyew: open only the ports you need. We can't tell you [14:16] i'm a spambot ;P [14:16] artista: that is not appreciated here :( === phox is now known as ph0xide [14:16] keep in mind Linux files systems _can_ be infected although it is less likely to find a virus for it [14:16] xoveruk: hey! you get what you pay for :) [14:16] who is using IntelliJ IDEA on ubuntu? does IDEA work better than Windows on Ubuntu? [14:17] Okay so the router is automatically a firewall and denies all ports except the ones I spesify? [14:17] gnomefreak: I suppose it CAN, but it's about like the chances of being struck by lightning. [14:17] J_Dewyew: Yes [14:17] I do this out of sheer curiosity [14:17] J_Dubyew: no, not automatically. But routers can also have firewall functionality [14:18] Well I have a Belkin so how would I enable firewall functionality on it? === cm019081 is now known as magn3ts [14:18] model number is... [14:18] J_Dubyew: find the manual? [14:18] !firewall > J_Dubyew [14:18] J_Dubyew, please see my private message [14:18] F5D7633-4 [14:18] who is using IntelliJ IDEA on ubuntu? does IDEA work better than Windows on Ubuntu? [14:18] How can I map my caps lock key to esc in ubuntu? [14:18] jamshid: no need to repeat [14:18] Hi, can someone with a good understanding tell me if I've done this right to copy all files from disk1 to disk2 (mainly big files) - rsync --progress --verbose --stats -a -P --inplace --size-only /mnt/disk1/* /mnt/disk2/. [14:18] Do you think it would be safe to use a 8.10 kernel package in ubuntu 8.04 LTS ? [14:18] J_Dubyew: You are correct if you assume that a firewall just blocks ports that you do not intend to use or that you think are dangerous. [14:18] Some files already exist on the target system [14:19] J_Dubyew: Again, a stand alone firewall is the way to go. If you are behind a stand-alone firewall, that is your best security. [14:19] Is there an accessible file where main menu settings/listings are? [14:20] J_Dubyew: And you can build your own if you like. See: ipcop.org (there are others but that is a good one IMO). [14:20] trying to build and install Xorg nouveau driver -- I'm getting this error: checking for LIBDRM_NOUVEAU... configure: error: Package requirements (libdrm_nouveau) were not met: [14:20] When I restart my 10.04 system it starts with "network disabled" Where do I change that? === dEx__ is now known as dEx [14:20] but I have libdrm-nouveau1 installed === dEx is now known as dEx_ [14:21] If you have a ruter and you install a firewall on you computer it's just twice the work. Use your router. [14:21] Well thanks for the help guys [14:21] um, guys, what's the name of the package the ubuntu installer is in? [14:22] can't find it in launchpad [14:22] blue_anna: you are probably missing the development files. try sudo apt-get install libdrm-dev [14:22] JDubyew: J_Dubyew NP [14:22] wojox: that is a silly response....I recommend firwalling whenever you can....set it and forget it [14:22] wojox: ufw is dead easy [14:22] doh [14:23] What is the difference between Deny and Reject in the firewall settings? === ineiros is now known as ineiros__ [14:24] * Dr_Willis wonders what his pc's firewall is supposed to be doing.. since the router is blocking the exact same stuff. I guess protect me from the wifes pc :) [14:24] JDubyew: i think one just drops the packet the other actively says 'You are rejected!' :) [14:24] Oh okay, what is the point of that? xD [14:25] JDubyew: reject means that for every packet received an ICMP port unreachable packet is sent to the source address. Of course this tells the remote host that your system is up and running and that you are running a firewall. [14:25] nm-applet starts disabled how do I troubleshoot this? [14:25] JDubyew: deny means the packet is discarded, dropped to the floor, assigned to oblivion. No reply packet of any kind is sent. (In the new iptables for Linux 2.4, this is now called DROP, which is clearer than DENY) [14:25] Oh right, oay thanks [14:25] okay* [14:25] JDubyew: From: http://www.ouah.org/reject_or_deny.html [14:26] urthmover: I guess if you want to be super secure then use both. To each their own. [14:26] ty [14:26] JDubyew: See: man iptables [14:26] that was it :) now it wants xorg >= 1.7 :S geez [14:26] Is there an accessible file where main menu settings/listings are? [14:27] wojox: seems silly not to close off everything you don't need on a system you care about...especially if all that it takes is sudo ufw enable [14:28] blue_anna: apt-get build-dep libdrm-nouveau1 might install all packages you need to build it in one go [14:29] urthmover: It also seems silly to run two firewalls [14:29] Hi! [14:29] CAPcap: Each menu-entry is a separate file. They're in /usr/share/applications/ and the ones you've changed are in ~/.local/share/applications [14:29] Theres secure, theres paranoid.. then theres TinFoil Hat paranoid. [14:29] I've recently reinstalled Ubuntu, for people who don't know, I needed to do that because when trying to remove KDE's leftover programs, it started to delete everything, including the entire GNOME environment. [14:30] thanks [14:30] wojox: in this day and age....your firewall is not your perimeter anymore. [14:30] Dr_Willis: LOL [14:30] By this reinstall, a secret also solved! [14:30] !puregnome [14:30] Before installing my nVIDIA video card's drivers, the boot logo also shown in native resolution (1280×800). [14:30] If you want to remove all !KDE packages, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [14:31] After installing the drivers, the boot logo is showing in 640×480! But why? [14:31] wojox: urthmover: If one is interested in firewall implementations, there is no reason not to use firewall scripts on a client machine, even when it is behind a good stand alone firewall as it may lead to a learning experience. But it is also important to note that if there is no application listening on a port, no repsonse will be given when requests are made so it is just about is important to not install software that you don't need / use. [14:32] erUSUL: Thanks for trying for help, but I tried exactly that, the manual removal part, and it started to delete GNOME, not only KDE. [14:32] quit [14:32] Never mind, I already reinstalled Ubuntu. [14:32] nyuszika7h, ubuntu-desktop? [14:32] usr13: amen [14:33] wojox: urthmover Many of us Linux users are experimenters and so there are good arguments on both sides of your debate, (which could lead to an endless debate). :) [14:33] .msg nickserv identify jonybravo [14:33] bazhang: I didn't see 'Removing ubuntu-desktop ...', but seen things like 'Removing gnome-XYZ ...' -- [14:33] usr13: Yeah your right about that. [14:33] where XYZ is something [14:34] more things beginning with 'gnome-' was removed [14:34] I didn't wait for the removal to complete, rebooted from Live CD and reinstalled. [14:34] kekekz [14:34] I've seen it's killing GNOME, because icons started to become unknown file icons! [14:34] usr13: I agreed this can become endless....but a quick little firewall read on the forums....and the meager amount of cpu cycles ufw (or iptables) uses makes the logic of just enabling it the smart thing to do [14:35] Dr_Willis: I tried that, do i still use vnc client? i'm supposed to put some settings in a file in xstart folder...haven't gotten that far yet...started vncserver, still refused connection from vnc... [14:35] Now, please tell me, why is the boot logo showing in 640×480? It's only happening AFTER installing nVIDIA video card drivers. [14:35] main menu bar disappeared in gnome application how i can recover it. [14:36] Recently this chat advised that I not use the: Update Manager for 10.04 LTS. Rather, back-up all and install new. Now, the Update Manager has so-called Linux security updates many which are New. Pls advise... [14:36] Brontolona === lona is now known as Brontolona [14:36] geez: Who advised that for you? I had no problem with the Update Manager. [14:37] Update Manager for all New upgrade vs Linux kernel securtiy updates. Pls excuse lack-of-clarity. === dEx_ is now known as dEx|bnc [14:37] geez: Install the security updates. Those are important. [14:38] urthmover: You are correct. It is amazing how little cpu power it takes to run a firewall with even a pretty extensive set of rules. [14:38] geez, MUST use Update manager, which helps you to keep updated with all new security threads/issues! [14:38] Maletor: go to system > preferences > keyboard and then on the layouts tab click options. expand the "caps lock key behaviour" section and click on "make capslock an additional esc" [14:39] usr13: yep and even apps like snort [14:39] So, no chance of corrupting my current install. I have my current dev job on this Linux laptop. Cannot lose my install... [14:39] hello i want to like this thing in ubun tu service network restart ?

[14:41] service network restart [14:41] urthmover: wojox: Building a router / firewall can be a very interesting experience. One could start by getting one like ipcop or monowall or whatever and then see how others build them and then try and build one on your own.

[14:43] i am right [14:43] CAPcap ta.

But would be easier to use firestarter I guess. [15:57] user12, i foolwede the ubuntugeek guide but that was for the previous version of ubuntu and firestarter cant ics without touching the iptables [15:58] user13, [15:58] !firestarter| scriptwarlock [15:58] scriptwarlock: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [15:58] hmm .. I hear a REALLY faint high pitch hissing sound when sound is playing. I especially notice it when voice is heard. It's almost inaudible, really subtle. Could it be a comon problem? :D [15:59] scriptwarlock: Some reason that iptables is not available to you?

[16:07] scriptwarlock: Those instructions look ok, long as you have the IPs correct etc. [16:07] usr13, yes but i was confused because in ubuntugeek the let network manager uninstall but in ubuntu docs they never mentioned to uninstall [16:07] oh yeah, forgot about brainstorm, thanks Dr_Willis :) [16:08] scriptwarlock: Oh yea, well, you might also need to uninstall the network manager. Yes that could be a problem . [16:08] which one u recommend eBox, ISPConfig or Webmin ? [16:08] usr13, is it? they never mentioned it on ubuntu docs [16:09] join #ubuntu-es [16:09] scriptwarlock: Well, it very well cause a problem on the next reboot, so wouldn't hurt to un-install it. [16:09] usr13, so ipmasq is really ripped from the debian repo [16:10] usr13, ? [16:10] where can i get mozilla spider monkey Javascript library for powerpc arch [16:11] usr13, the reason why i want an ics in lucid is because i am running a cyber shop and use ubuntu desktop as my server [16:11] scriptwarlock: You'll not know for sure if you have made the configurations permanent until you reboot.

I didn't take much notice to witch packages was updated, but amongst them where php5.. so maby it's got something to do with that? (The webshop runs oscommerce) [16:11] usr13, well network manager of lucid is not yet perfect [16:11] where can i get mozilla spider monkey Javascript library for powerpc arch? [16:12] scriptwarlock: ipmasq is common to all Linux distros / versions. It is simply iptables rules that cause your system to do IPmasquerading. [16:12] http://packages.debian.org/sid/powerpc/spidermonkey-bin/download [16:12] any clue for advance partition? [16:12] Dr_Willis then which one ? [16:13] !http://packages.debian.org/sid/powerpc/spidermonkey-bin/download | nmvictor [16:13] usr13, yes thats true but if we search from the synaptics never found the ipmasq anymore in lucid [16:14] usr13, thats how i manage to ics in ubuntu with ipmasquerading [16:14] how to open outlook-msg files? [16:14] usr13, but if you have idea on a diffrent approach with the same result please advise [16:14] zver: will that work in ubuntu? [16:15] scriptwarlock: well, I dont know about that but... to me, "ipmasq" is just short for "ipmasquerade" which is a form of Network Address Translation (NAT) which allows internally connected computers that do not have one or more registered Internet IP addresses to communicate to the Internet via the Linux server's Internet IP address. [16:15] usr13, agree [16:15] Hi, I've just started to use X-chat. I'm used to mIRC , can I still make/use popup messages in x-Chat ? ( right click to display a list of previously saved messages ?) [16:16] ciao [16:16] how to open outlook-msg files? [16:16] usr13, thats why i am asking if any ideas on a diffrent approach withthe same result of ics in eth0 and eth1 [16:16] scriptwarlock: So just place all your IPTABLES rules in one script, make it executable and correct if needed. (Which is probably what you've already don, if it's working). [16:17] habanany: its best to learn to configure the se4rvices by hand.. befor using any gui tools. [16:18] usr13, awts thats what i havent learned yet... an ics with iptable [16:18] scriptwarlock: You set eth0 and eth1 to static IP addresses, set netmask, default gw, create the ipmask script, (which is only a couple lines) and yer done.

[16:24] djzn: nofb option in /etc/default used to work.

[16:28] djzn: you could start gdm from /etc/rc.local I gues. :) untill you find a better way to disable the framebuffer issue [16:29] Pici, anyway to change cursor in compiz?

[16:32] i'm having a really annoying problem with 2 different computers after upgrade to 10.04 -- the ctrl or shift key gets randomly stuck, and only restarting X fixes it. anyone encountered this or have any idea how to fix it? [16:32] ebox vs webmin , which one ? [16:32] Is there an apt-get autoremove thing for getting rid of excess kernels or do I have to resort to the package manager to remove them [16:32] Hi... I'm having a weird problem... I'm trying to ping a remote host.. If I do an nslookup hostname it resolves... but when I ping the exact same name, it says ping: unknown host hostname ... any ideas ? this is lucid [16:32] habanany: no polls in this channel [16:32] krabador: what does it say? or you feel that nothing is happening? [16:32] habanany: use ebox in that case.. webmin is not supported here. [16:33] habanany, webmin is not supported, so the other [16:33] I am atempting to compile an application, however am getting the following error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lemu [16:33] last i tried ebox. it pulled in like a dozen services i iddent need :) [16:33] am I invisible? [16:33] is there any way to fix this? [16:33] Bisu[Shield]: No. [16:33] ok thanks to all [16:33] Bisu[Shield]: did you ask a question?

[16:41] Dracuda, yes [16:41] Dracuda, yes you are [16:42] i dont see php version 5.2 in synaptic package manager [16:43] on the .bashrc file echo 'bash profile loaded for \u' isnt replacing u with the username [16:43] not even " " works [16:44] loopidity, $USER [16:44] Hi there. I have an Asus en9800gt/di video card. The issue is that when the system boots up, it displays a message several times saying it has killed Plymouth. It does this with and without the proprietary nVidia drivers, but the system boots up normally after that. How do I fix this? [16:44] anyone know how to download beryl/ [16:44] Thanks wasn't sure if i went to the right place or not anyway I have been wanting to use Ubuntu for some time now but hitting a major issue I can not seem to get a connection to my wireless I have a Belkin f5d7050 wireless g usb dongle and the computer sees acess points but anytime i try to connect it just trys for like 5 min then gives up and i don't know what to do at all [16:44] murky, beryl is long out of support, you want compiz [16:45] robbit10: plymouth is involved in the boot process, if the system works properly anyway, I'd recommend not trying to "fix" it. [16:45] Hi! [16:45] SwedeMike: Yes, but Plymouth doesn't start - it kills Plymouth upon boot. [16:45] Good morning [16:45] robbit10: yes? [16:45] joaopinto thanks, that worked, but why wouldnt \u work? is it not global? [16:45] no i try compiz i want some thing diffrenet [16:45] SwedeMike: So i don't get a boot splash [16:45] moring ? haha ,this is evening now [16:45] murky, with gnome? [16:45] robbit10: yes? so it's a cosmetic error? I recommend against trying to fix it. [16:45] \u doesn't mean anything for echo [16:46] yah with gnom [16:46] loopidity, no, \u is shell prompt specific, is not a global symbol [16:46] SwedeMike: Do you mean it kills plymouth because it fixes something? [16:46] murky, compiz is it then. kde4 has compostiing though [16:46] As you may already know, I've followed Softpedia's instructions to make Lucid Lynx's boot logo normal size again after installing video card drivers. That worked, but even though my monitor's native resolution is 1280×800 and I typed that in the files, the logo still looks a bit distorted. Hmm... [16:46] robbit10: what exactly is the impact of this "problem"? The fact that you do not get a usb splash? What is the impact of this on the function of your system? [16:47] you mean it just with kde4 [16:47] SwedeMike: Not much, I was just wondering what was causing this. I expected the polished experience I saw on the website when I installed it onto this system, since this is a very shiny and new system. [16:47] SwedeMike: Not with too-new hardware though [16:47] sorry 'cause i new on linux system [16:47] is there any problem with unbuntu 10.4 because since i upgraded the performance is pretty shitty, can't even see videos with vlc... [16:47] robbit10: file a bug report and see if someone has a solution. [16:48] i have it up to date... [16:48] i've installed beagle but it does't index anything! any way to fix it? [16:49] hello everyone, is there a easy way to get a network activity display (i.e. like the flashing symbol in windows) in the gnome panel of ubuntu netbook edition? [16:50] hio [16:50] Greetings... [16:50] I really been wanting to use ubuntu i tryed googleing the heck out of my issue but i cant find anything i tryed the lsusb command and the only thing that look relevant was Bus 001 Device 004: ID 050d:705e Belkin Componets [16:50] rick-rack: not that ive seen. that icon does look like it should flash. :( [16:51] hey i installed lxde (not lubuntu-desktop i didnt want the excess garbage) but I must have missed something in my selections as i cant connect to the internet (and apparently have no application to allow me to do so) help? [16:51] CAPcap: you proberly need to run network-manager or the nm-applet by hand [16:51] Can someone explain how to save the terminal window size after it has been resized? I have looked in the edit preferences for this option, and right clicked on the term window itself. Don't see a option for this? [16:52] CAPcap: lubuntu likes to use wicd last i tried it. you could try wicd also. [16:52] Dr_Willis, is that a package I will need to install? [16:52] during boot this time it paused and said keys: S to skip mounting or M: to do something manually. all my disks are loaded now -- how can I check what the heck that was? === User__ is now known as callaghan [16:52] Sirecat: basically thats a task for the widnow manager. not the terminal that ive ever seen. You can use compiz settings to restore/rember/set specific sizes [16:52] any idea regarding performance lack after upgrading to 10.4? [16:52] my wireless notification area don't appear... [16:52] anyone here know how to prevent the list of operating systems from showing up under grub after installing Ubuntu from Wubi? [16:52] CAPcap: if you installed lxde on ubuntu, then the nm-applet should be installed allready [16:52] Dr_Willis, I've had lxde in the past but i installed lubuntu-desktop, i went without all that this time, so im having to fill in gaps [16:53] i've activated [16:53] system doesn't work at a usable speed anymore... [16:53] blue_anna: it does that during disk checking, don't worry. [16:53] CAPcap: if you installed lubuntu-desktop package it may of removed network manager and installed wicd. You may want to ask in #lubuntu [16:53] James147, control panel - system -advanced - startup [16:53] My 10.04 systems don't have a /etc/hostname file - where did it go? [16:53] I mean, at first it shows Windows boot loader with Windows 7 and Ubuntu, after I select Ubuntu, it goes to the grub menu [16:53] SwedeMike, don't worry? :) ok [16:53] Dr_Willis: Hmmm ok thanks...I have seen other distros that allowed this option rather than the default term size it opens to. Thank you! [16:53] is there any way to prevent the grub menu from appearing? [16:53] that I can do [16:53] Dr_Willis, I didnt install that, i still have network manager. im in standard ubuntu right now [16:54] blue_anna: it's normal display during bootup process if drives aren't available immediately (like they need to spin up, they need to be checked or alike) [16:54] does anyone have any idea about my driver issue or a idea where to look cause I am about to pull my hair all out [16:55] this IRC room was my last idea [16:55] SwedeMike, it was still there a couple minutes later, so I hity skip and when it came up all was fine [16:55] anyone? [16:56] Dracuda: IRC 'channel' [16:56] james296, just one OS on your HDD [16:56] what is this [16:56] ? [16:56] Hello [16:56] IRC channel [16:56] ] [16:56] CAPcap: the have lubuntu launch the nm-applet perhaps. I forget the name of the binary. [16:57] I just want the Windows boot manager to appear, then after selecting Ubuntu, I want it to boot Ubuntu, not show the grub boot loader [16:57] yeah this channel was my last idea on trying to figure my problem out [16:57] james296: grub config files have a 'hide menu' option [16:57] !grub2 | james296 [16:57] james296: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

Metacity shortcuts can be found in the /apps/metaicty/* gconf keys. === ml-something is now known as microlith [16:58] blue_anna: hm, oki, did it say what volume it was waiting for? that's something you might want to investigate then, because skip should mean it didn't mount something that was in /etc/fstab [16:58] is there the package fedora usb-creator on ubuntu's package? [16:58] lefantomedurezo: unetbootin works for a great many differnt distros [16:58] james296: the windows boot manager can't boot linux, it can only boot grub which in turn boots linux. [16:58] james296, windows boot manager ? [16:58] Dr_Willis, I'm trying installing wicd [16:59] lefantomedurezo: yes.. there is a usb creator in ubuntu that you can use with most any .iso [16:59] CAPcap: that might remove network manager [16:59] Dr_willis, nop didnt say it was going to [16:59] yes but unetbootin don't make the persistence, of fedora [17:00] lefantomedurezo: depending on how the persistantce works you can make a save file for it to use and alter tye syslinux.cfg to have the proper options [17:00] and if I try to change syslinux, it fail after the boot: "sleep mode" [17:00] What does 'Force Full GPU Scaling' mean? I didn't understand it even after reading the tooltip. [17:00] james296, grub will list your windows partition , usually t the bottom of the menu [17:00] Dr_Willis: CAPcap installing wicd won't uninstall network manager but may override it.. I just uninstalled NM in favor of Wicd because Wicd will set and keep a static ip through a reboot.. but it doesn't have vpn support like NM does.. [17:00] at [17:00] SwedeMike, can you suggest something to grep in dmesg? [17:01] Scunizi: last i installed lubuntu-desktop it removed NM and installed wicd.. which was defainatly not what i wanted. :) but it may have been fixed of the issue by now [17:01] my monitor (ts700) is supposed to be able to play sound but I can't get anything out of it. What can I do to try to get it to work? [17:01] i just updated to karmic koala and as you can imagine i need to redo a bunch of things... firstly, my wireless card isn't working. I have a Toshiba Satellite pro L500D. Help please? [17:01] SwedeMike, I think I'm okay now, I don't know what it was trying to mount offhand [17:01] blue_anna: nope, sorry, I don't know what would be on the line of a missed/skipped drive. [17:01] i dont have access to a cdrom or a usb device, and i want to install ubuntu on a notebook. What other options do i have? [17:01] in fact, I tyed fedora to add menu entry to ad the option "persistent" [17:02] after the fail I rebooted and type tab to delet the persistent: same fail [17:02] Dr_Willis: I think Wicd will now disable NM when installed.. they both can't work at the same time. [17:02] lefantomedurezo: i would check the pendrive linux web site/forums to see how to enable perisstnce home in fedora with unetbootin [17:02] it's a viglen ts700 [17:02] gaurav: look for "netboot" install [17:03] maby it should be on the first partition? (iso copy) [17:03] SwedeMike, thanks [17:03] i got my wireless card working. now i am trying to get avant window navigator to work and its telling me that my screen isn't composited... what does that mean? [17:03] what could be the problem when the winkey/super/metakey is not working at all ? [17:03] loopool: you need to be yusing the special effects/compiz feature of gnome basically [17:04] loopool: go to Preferences/Appearance/Visual Effects [17:04] loopool: theres a dock or 2 out that dont need that feature. but it gives them all the eyecandy [17:04] is there a specific room where i could go for help with scripting?

[17:08] bazhang where the ibus is [17:09] talvigi, you need to install it [17:09] nyuszika7h, open a terminal and type alsamixer , make sure there no Ms in the box at the bottom of the ctrls , also make sure your ctrls are tturned up to at least 70% [17:09] loopool: not sure what could cause that [17:09] Uhm, is there a Mixer app (not console) for Ubuntu so I can change my bass/treble and whatnot? === BengtRibba is now known as dennis__ [17:09] BluesKaj, I guess ur talking to me, yes ? :) [17:09] have a look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see what it says under "Device" for "Driver" [17:09] bazhang ok thank you i'll install the ibus with apt-get and then will tell you if i got succeed thank you again === Votan is now known as Votan|off [17:11] NitzchONot, no, I was directing it at nyuszika7h [17:11] Hi there; I am trying to hear sound from the mic in my headphones, but can't seem to find the way to make it work. can anybody help? [17:12] so HOW can I prevent the grub menu from appearing and directly load Ubuntu? [17:12] loopool: only other thing I can suggest (assuming you have nvidia) is sudo apt-get install nvidia-current; sudo nvidia-xconfig [17:12] MPX , there might be an optional equalizer available for the mixer , you may need to search for it in the package manager [17:12] P-Nuts, i have my laptop plugged into a PC monitor, but my (cracked) laptop screen is also in use.. that may have something to do with it?

[17:15] LJL: so if i want to run .. ls -la ... in my script, i just put ls -la, nothing else?

[17:16] hi does anyone notice 10.4 running very slow in X? i have a dell e6400 laptop, and after upgrading yesterday it's very very slow, everything spikes up the cpu to 100% [17:16] LJL: lol, yah i know, i was just using that as an example [17:16] even the chat... [17:16] fmerges: Where do you check the CPU usage? [17:16] Njh: ok [17:16] Njh, The script needs to start with #!/bin/sh (to make it a shell script. /bin/bash for a bash specific one) then you just list commands like ls [17:16] hello [17:17] nyuszika7h, don't need to check it... it just lags everything... cant open a music file and the chat... [17:17] type in bash scripting reference in google there are great tutorials online [17:17] z0net, real player files are tough to convert ...I think there's arealplayer for linux, you might get better quality with that, without havinr to convert [17:17] nyuszika7h, closing an application takes time... even the moving of a window lags [17:17] i installed ubuntu a couple hours ago, and finally figured out how to get on IRC [17:17] BluesKaj, Yes!

"#!/bin/sh" is a line "ls -la" is a line etc etc [17:19] is it possible to have Ubuntu use a different window managing system than X11? [17:19] jrib, what if any user script in the user home directory is sourced after GDM login? [17:19] anyone can tell me a way to mount it ? [17:19] njh: you can do multiple on each line, just seperate with ";" example ls -l; ls -al [17:19] z0net, what kind of video out , analog or dvi ? [17:19] edbian: thanks [17:19] ldlework_: use ~/.profile. Maybe ~/.xprofile still works too (haven't tried in new gdm) [17:20] ~/.profile doesn't work [17:20] ldlework_: how are you determining that? [17:20] bazhang its already installed but i don't know where to access the ibus can you please help [17:20] or hdmi even, z0 [17:20] Well my xmodmaps don't load, but when I source it directly, they work [17:20] anyways i installed wine, and am trying to install trillian, but when i open trillian it says "change the folder properties and try again" and that i cant change the contents of that folder [17:20] jrib, I can try one more time [17:21] computer_, No offense, you're stuck in the past. Trillian has become pidgin which is available in the repos. Ubuntu switched to empathy (which does basically the same thing) which is also in the repos. [17:21] edbian: it worked, thank you [17:22] is there a problem with WD 2TB drives I should know about? [17:22] Njh, NO problem. Glad I could help! [17:22] edbian, wasn't it gaim who became pidgin, Trillian is and will be trillian for a while longer? [17:22] ldlework_: /etc/gdm/Xsession suggests both .profile and .xprofile should be sourced [17:22] dubbe, Oh, you might be right. I'll google it.

I install ruby1.9 by apt-get but ruby command cannot find ruby.. how is that [17:23] anyone no if i can get git updated to 1.7 through launchpad? [17:23] Computer, BUt I suggest you use software from the repos. pidgin or empathy. Do you still want to try to get trillian working? [17:23] *know [17:23] ;';' [17:24] The ubuntu website hasn't really cleared up how to actually make my graphics driver enable [17:24] ldlework: having said that... if you put your commands in a ~/.xmodmaprc (N.B. this is passed directly to xmodmap, you should not have stuff like "xmodmap foo" in there) gnome should find it automatically and ask you what you want to do when you first login [17:24] sorry got disconnected, how do i use wine and install trillian? [17:24] loopool: system → administration → hardware drivers [17:24] jrib, i have done, and it says that my graphics driver is activated but is not in use [17:24] SomethingCool: is there a reason you don't want to use empathy (the default) or pidgin? [17:25] loopool: what driver? [17:25] SomethingCool, Empathy is probably better then trillian unless you wan't webcam-support for msn. Then you have to look at alternative. Amsn could work then... I havn't got trillian working in wine... [17:25] ok i will try to use empathy then thanks [17:25] jrib, ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [17:26] loopool: have you rebooted since activating it? [17:26] jrib, yes [17:26] Does anyone know a secure method to install nvidia drivers on ubuntu 10.04. Envy is not supported [17:27] brb trying to see if i can get on empathy :) [17:27] jrib, yeah ~/.profile isn't being sourced on login. [17:27] I have two 2TB western digital drives, on software raid1 and LVM. Im getting high IOWAIT. How can I determine the cause? [17:27] MauL: use dpkg -L ruby1.9 to list out all software installed by the package [17:28] Maul: than make sure it's in your path [17:28] well... i just updated my desktop and now i'm stuck on a 169.* address... no luck with dhcp... any ideas? [17:28] ldlework_: do you know how to proceed? [17:28] (hooray for having a netbook handy!) [17:28] Lama_Chok: System - Administration - Hardware drivers [17:28] jrib, no I'm clueless. It seems there's no user-script sourced for gdm? [17:29] Lama_Chok: Otherwise, download the binary blob, drop to init 3, and compile it yourself. [17:29] ldlework_: ok. Well you said .profile isn't being sourced before. And I asked, "how are you determining that?" [17:30] jrib, because I have some xmodmaps being applied in ~/.profile. When I login they arnt applied. If I source ~/.profile directly they are applied. [17:30] tyler_ ; i always used to install correct nvidia 9100Mdrivers using envy. But now since it's not supported, i don't know what to do [17:30] * softdrink kicks eth0 [17:30] Hi , I can't mount my dvd , it said Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock [17:30] anyone can tell me a way to mount it ? [17:30] ldlework_: why don't you put something like: echo ".profile is sourced" > ~/profile_is_sourced [17:30] tyler_: Jockey might be n option [17:31] hello [17:31] jrib lol alright [17:31] wheres Lucid Lynx wallpaper located??? [17:31] how to locate? [17:31] brb [17:31] ldlework_: because what is likely happening is it is sourced but then your xmodmap commands are overridden later [17:31] i'm going to install kubuntu (laptop) for the first time, something i should be aware of ? [17:32] help [17:32] wheres Lucid Lynx wallpaper located??? [17:32] zver: do you want to change it? [17:32] nope [17:32] ubuntunewbie: did you try 'mount -r /dev/sr0 [17:32] ' [17:32] zver: /usr/share/backgrounds/ [17:32] can anyone help me with compiz+nouveau ?

But now since it's not supported in ubuntu 10.04, i don't know what to do. Any suggestions ... Jockey... [17:34] are you sure the /dev/sr0 device exists in dev and 'gulp' it has a dvd in it? [17:34] when I manually drag a folder to a pannel it creats 2 launch buttons instead of one. What could be causing this [17:34] jrib, wait [17:35] jrib, it is [17:35] ldlework_: good, did you see my comment about creating a ~/.xmodmaprc instead of doing what you are doing? [17:35] What is the best way to handle NFS mounts that should be always mounted? fstab? rc.local? in fstab if the nfs-server isn't up the machines fail to boot [17:35] jrib, awesome solution [17:35] thanks man [17:35] Lama_Chok: The restricted drivers manager doesn't work? [17:36] ldlework_: note that it may have to be ~/.Xmodmap instead. I'm not sure. And remember, you don't write commands in it, you put commands that are fed to xmodmap directly [17:36] tyler_ :ya they don't install proper drivers. That's why i was always forced to use Envy [17:36] I'm not getting opengl support: I'm following instructions here: http://dmolinap.blogspot.com/2010/04/compiz-nouveau-en-lucid-lynx-beta2.html -- the kernel driver does load: http://pastebin.ws/cf2ptl -- I tried to add Driver "nouveau" but I had funky results [17:36] jrib, yep. I should have looked to see if xmodmap had a dotfile [17:36] Lama_Chok: And you tried it in 10.04? [17:37] Lama_Chok: Installing drivers manually is a pain. I can find an article that will be relevant to your interests.

[17:41] k thanks [17:41] sebersole: yes, I said on lucid, if you're on an earlier version you'll need to use the ppa [17:41] I have two mobile phones and a GPS device that I used to connect to via bluetooth in Karmic. The phones "just worked" with network-manager and I had listed the bluetooth dongle in /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and I used to start and stop it manually. After my update to Lucid, I can still browse both phones' files by clicking on the bluetooth icon in the gnome panel. The one phone works as before via NetworkManager, but the other one doe [17:41] sn't. When I do "rfcomm connect rfcomm0" the bluetooth dongle shows its blue light and I'm told it's connected, but when I do "rfcomm bind", it fails silently. How do I debug?

[17:43] stenchmaster: manpage is probably outdated, you should have a fsck.ext4 binary on your system [17:43] doing a man on fsck.ext3 says it will do ext4 [17:44] so to install a game i like, i open it with wine and it will install and run?

Then I'll look up an article for you. [17:45] thanks [17:45] I've followed Softpedia's instructions on how to make the boot logo normal size after installing nVIDIA drivers. I choosed the first method, and typed 1280x800 instead of 1280x1024, because my native resolution is 1280x800. [17:45] stenchmaster: I remember one of the perks of ext4 was to have faster fsck [17:45] After restart, it was better, but a bit too wide. [17:45] Now, I installed StartUp-Manager and selected 1280x1024. Didn't restart yet. [17:46] Will that work or I'll get only a black screen? [17:46] I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu again! [17:46] Lama_Chok: But, basically what you'll be doing is killing X and dropping to a root shell. Then you'll need to wget the drivers off the Nvidia website and compile install them and then use the Nvidia tools to generate your own xorg.conf file. After that, you reboot and you should be set. [17:46] nyuszika7h: you can edit it thru command line [17:47] Hey guys, anyone knows anything about artifacts on HDTVs using nVidia's 185 driver? [17:47] tyler_ : on Envy website it is mentioned that envy is no longer supported for 10.04. Previous versions of ubuntu have always failed to install correct drivers for my nvidia 9100M. I don't think this time it will be any different [17:47] hi!!! can anyone help me with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500966 [17:47] mickster84: i can edit what? [17:48] !tab | nyuszika7h [17:48] nyuszika7h: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [17:48] Alright guys [17:48] nyuszika7h: the usplash settings [17:48] This is bugging me [17:48] tyler_ : sounds complex [17:48] http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/05/04/remove-evolution-mail-notifier-from-indicator-applet-in-ubuntus-system-tray/ [17:48] Lama_Chok: A large amount of development goes into each Ubuntu release. Try the driver manager just to humor me. I know it works for the Nvidia 9300M card. [17:48] and what should I type? [17:48] I've done that to remove the Evolution indicator [17:48] #geex [17:48] Didn't work. [17:48] Lama_Chok: basically, it just means you'll be living without graphics for a while. [17:48] I'm currently connected to the internet via a bluetooth connection to a mobile phone, but when I type "rfcomm" it doesn't show up. [17:48] It's not biggie. [17:48] i think you can google that, its more reliable than me:P [17:48] Do I have to restart? [17:49] Lama_Chok: It sort of is for a new user. That's why I want you to make sure the driver manager works. [17:49] nyuszika7h: i think you can google that, its more reliable than me:P [17:49] FlameTai1: try just loggin out an in again [17:49] whats the wine channel? [17:49] brb then. [17:49] tyler_ : k i will give it a shot [17:49] Lama_Chok: Thank you. [17:50] I hate to repeat myself but: Hey guys, anyone knows anything about artifacts on HDTVs using nVidia's 185 driver? [17:51] Fantastic worked like a charm, thanks mickster04 [17:51] mickster04: Lucid Lynx uses Plymouth, not USplash. Also, the Tab key does nothing for me. [17:51] I'm using XChat. [17:51] HaakonKL: I don't know anything about there being artifacts with that driver version on HDTVs but it's an older driver. You could try updating to the latest driver or you can check the forum to see if anyone had a similar problem. [17:52] tyler__: It shouldn [17:52] nyuszika7h: it did, it typed my name in right:P and yes good point i don't know how to fix it. google config files for plymouth [17:53] tyler__: It's weird, because it worked just fine two days ago, then I rebooted, and now the screen is acting weird. My Vista partition doesn't do this, so it's not the TV... I really don't want to do a manual install if I don't have to though. [17:53] jrib, thank you [17:53] how do i change my microphone channel in 9.10? i'm trying to counter crackling on it when i play counter strike source using WINE. [17:53] hey does anyone know what the diff is between default-jre and default-jre-headless? [17:53] tyler__: is there a ppa for nVidia drivers? [17:53] mickster04: I typed it manually :P My problem is that I'm afraid the boot logo will be even bigger or Ubuntu won't boot.

[17:54] mickster04: it seems you don't understand me [17:55] nyuszika7h: evidently [17:55] <_zed> ooups. the last question is to ht1 [17:55] tyler__: 10.04 32bit [17:55] nyuszika7h: you can always change it, ubuntu should always boot regardless...and you can then change the image resolution if it's wrong? [17:56] hello [17:56] hello [17:56] mickster04: I tried 1280×800, which is my monitor's native resolution. But the boot logo is a bit too wide with that setting. [17:56] _zed, how do i check that? [17:56] HaakonKL: Why are you using the older driver and not the newer one? And you might be having a problem because an update was pushed that caused a bug to appear. [17:57] nyuszika7h: well go the next one up? [17:57] <_zed> ht1, type dmesg [17:57] since I upgraded my x31 to 10.04, dual screen is not working anymore: as soon as I enable the second screen, both screens are showing weired colours (like a broken monitor). what's the best place to report that bug? [17:57] Hey folks, trying to make a bootable WRITEABLE usb startup with the included tool. The option to "reserve extra space" is always greyed out. It's a 4gb disk, any ideas? [17:57] _zed, anything will happen? [17:57] wtf [17:57] ht1: did you try to fsck them, not sure if you can mount from a cd [17:57] ;l [17:57] tyler__: silly update seems a likely culprit. I use the older driver because a: It works, and b: I don't need the performance boosts offereby 195. [17:57] Can anyone see what im saying [17:57] v_v [17:57] reality: yeah? [17:57] reality: yes, we read you. [17:57] ok [17:57] when i ssh to my box from outside my LAN it times out after a while, but when i ssh from inside my LAN it stays up for ever. where can i change these settings please [17:58] <_zed> ht1: you'll see the last error messages === KungFuBear_Away is now known as KungFuBear [17:58] mcl0vin: probably with your router [17:58] if i dont update right away will it mess me up when i do [17:58] stenchmaster, i tried fsck. [17:58] reality: prolly not? [17:58] ok well when i update [17:58] it crashes [17:58] and i have to reformat [17:58] HaakonKL: I heavily suggests using the newer driver due to bug fixes and a few, if not noticeable, performance enhancers. [17:58] every time [17:58] reality: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:58] mickster04: I can't select 1280×800 in StartUp-Manager, I got it with manual editing of files. StartUp-Manager offers 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×1024 and 1600×1200. [17:58] Can Evolution be used with MS Exchange? [17:58] mcl0vin: Have you checked the info file? I'm no expert on ssh, but the info you need should be there.

[17:59] hello, I have a computer with Vista and Ubuntu dual boot....I want to upgrade to Windows 7 for the Vista partition...Will this cause any problems? [18:00] HaakonKL: Although, check the forum - maybe someone found out which package caused a regression/bug and then you can downgrade the offending package. [18:00] nyuszika7h: well it seems that either 1280x800 isnt being set or your resolution is wrong? [18:00] Loneclock: Yes, this will mess up your bootloader. You can fix this however, but I am not too certain on how. [18:00] ht1: you can just read the dmesg log in /var/log/dmesg as well should be the same info [18:00] tyler__: Yeah, I'll just add the nvidia ppa and update the drivers, and see if that works first. If not, I' [18:01] stenchmaster, how? [18:01] sorry I was away just now [18:01] Loneclock: You would have to use a liveCD to re-install the bootloader. [18:01] stenchmaster :sorry I was away just now [18:01] Loneclock: There are guides on the interwebs. [18:01] *If not, I'll scour the packages and see what sillifies my system. [18:01] stenchmaster : I am sure i put the disc in already [18:01] got 10.04 desktop running on my netbook; network is healthy and I've been regularly ssh'ing and all sorts of stuff to an from that ubuntu machine [18:01] mj8741, there is a gadget called dockbarX that will do what you want [18:01] mcl0vin: well i think thats where its not working [18:01] trying to connect with vnc [18:01] mickster04: As I've already said, my monitor's native resolution is 1280×800. I used that with Windows, using that with Ubuntu, but when using that with the Plymouth boot splash screen, the logo is too wide. [18:01] tyler__ what should I google for?

[18:02] mickster04: ?? [18:02] thanks dubbe - [18:02] ht1: once you're able to see the fs and mount say from a cd, than do a cat /var/log/dmesg [18:02] Loneclock: It's not entirely too difficult. [18:02] nyuszika7h: well are you sure the image is the correct resolution? if the image isn't in that side plymouth will use a smaller one and stretch it? [18:02] mj8741, you're welcome [18:02] HaakonKL: Yes, because after installing nVIDIA drivers, the boot logo is big and ugly. [18:02] brainproxy: you could always just ssh in and install/start a seperate 'vncserver' but that wont share your 'local/visible' desktop -but will spawn a new one. freenx can also work and be faster. [18:03] nyuszika7h: That's pretty easy to fix. [18:03] mcl0vin: well seing as it works on the lan, it seems to be something with the router and external connections, or your ssh config might be set up funny? [18:03] * tyler__ logs off to go have breakfast. [18:03] Dr_Willis: but what do you think I'm missing to have the default remote desktop sharing work properly? [18:03] Loneclock: I googled it for you... :) http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ [18:03] unbuntunewbie: ok just want to make sure the disc is readable on other systems, that error comes up when the device can't read the media as well [18:03] mickster04: After installing Ubuntu, it detected my monitor's native resolution, and the boot logo was also in that resolution, and wasn't stretched at all. [18:03] brainproxy: this is on a local lan? [18:03] nyuszika7h: That is because of an incompatibility between nVidia driver, KMS, and plymouth [18:03] brainproxy: or over the internet? [18:03] Dr_Willis: local lan [18:03] Loneclock: That guide should help you. Remember, that your Ubuntu install disc is a live-CD. [18:03] no iptables loaded [18:04] nyuszika7h: so what has changed? [18:04] stenchmaster, i don't understand. and if i will go home you will not be able to help me cause i don't have working mouse and keyboard. i need to bring the computer here but you will not nessaserily succeed in helping [18:04] HaakonKL thanks [18:04] Loneclock: You're welcome. [18:04] brainproxy: no idea then. i tend to use a stand alone vncserver however. I did find FreeNX worked a LOT better then vnc. but it was harder to setup. [18:04] mickster04: After installing the nVIDIA drivers, the boot logo is displayed in 640×480 resolution. The native resolution is only applied after it disappears. [18:05] how do i change my microphone channel in 9.10? i don't have sound in admin because pulseaudio has been removed. i'm trying to counter crackling on it when i play counter strike source using WINE. [18:05] Before doing that, the boot logo was also shown in the native resolution. [18:05] brainproxy: you could try to connect to the localdesktop locally (give the viewer an ip of 127.0.0.1 and see your desktop on the desktop in a window -:) as a way to trouble shoot. [18:05] nyuszika7h: oh i c...yeah i understand now. i guess the drivers are doing that:/ try putting a correct resolution image at a different resolution display, see what happens? [18:05] hey room im having problems w/ i guess flash player but maybe my video driver if i try to make youtube full screen fire fox just dies [18:05] ht1: i didn't know you had no mouse/keyboard, that would make it tough to boot of the live cd [18:06] I am getting a new computer soon, it will have the GA-X58A-UD3R mobo and an intel i7 930 @ 4.2ghz I want a raid 5 array for /home would it be better to use the bios's built in raid or softwere raid? [18:06] nyuszika7h: theres a few 'fix plymouth res' articals out there. ive noticed a similer issue.. but personally I dont work too hard at trying to fix plymouth. I only see it for a few seconds. [18:06] mickster04: Huh? [18:06] My home partition is running out space, wat will be the reason. I dont see any visible folders size has grown. any known issue? [18:06] it says Segmentation fault [18:06] sachin6870: trash? Use Disk Usage Analyzer in your Accessories menu [18:06] how do i use apt to see what version of a package I have installed?

[18:08] bin1010: well still. its a text document...might be useful if its out and available:p [18:09] simple text, although I guess font beautifying would be nice [18:09] so now I have a terminal login prompt and it won't let me login [18:09] jrib: trash was just 10mb [18:09] cleaned it up [18:09] okay, I will look into it [18:09] jrib, nothing that I can recall [18:09] now running disk analyzer [18:09] bin thats my two pence, and it mightn't be available to everyone yet:/ [18:09] I'm at a login prompt and cannot login at all [18:09] text login prompt [18:09] Whitor: log in with single-user mode. [18:09] bin1010: check out gobby [18:10] Then do adduser gdm [18:10] Whitor: sounds like you may have some major file system curruption. [18:10] HaakonKL, how do I initiate that ? [18:10] Whitor: you may want to boot a live cd and fsck the fileysstems for starters. [18:10] Your Grub screen should have a "recovery mode" or somesuch. [18:10] which is better fake raid in the mobo bios or softwear raid in linux? [18:10] Whitor: you should probably pastebin the errors you mentioned before. Something is wrong if you are just losing users all of a sudden [18:10] nyuszika7h: Put GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=nnnnxnnn in /etc/default/grub, then run update-grub, then reboot. It should work. [18:10] bin1010: thats my two pence, and it mightn't be available to everyone yet:/ [18:10] HaakonKL, ok... I will try now [18:10] no one can help me ? what is the error mean ? Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: /dev/sr0: can't read superblock [18:10] nyuszika7h: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml [18:10] Dr_Willis: I followed that!!! [18:10] ubuntunewbie: you do have a cd in the drive? [18:11] Whitor: This might let you get into Gnome. However, you really have some weird problems... :S [18:11] nyuszika7h: Mistake - that sgould have been GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX [18:11] Dr_Willis: But I'm afraid that the logo will be even bigger, or I'll only see a black screen... [18:11] nyuszika7h: theres other guides that also supposubly fix things.. Personally i find trying to 'fix' it often breaks things worse [18:11] Dr_Willis : yes [18:11] nyuszika7h: i dont worry too much about plyumouth.. its not worth bending over backwards for [18:11] Because my monitor's native resolution is 1280×800 and in the guide they say 1280×1024. [18:12] Dr_Willis : here is how my problem happen , I burn with nero and it came out an error for my second season burn .Now I can't even read my first season on my disc [18:12] I tried it with 1280×800, my monitor's native resolution, but it's still stretched. [18:12] nyuszika7h: 1280x1024 makes more sense === KungFuBear is now known as KungFuBear_Away [18:12] Dr_Willis : i Just wanted to read back the first season burn === HaakonKL is now known as HakonKL-DINNERAT [18:12] Dr_Willis : and ubuntu said it cannot mount [18:12] ubuntunewbie: you nomally dont burn iso files with multi sessions. Use a tool like 'burnatonce' or 'infrarecorder' to burn the iso to cd. Or make a bootable flash drive [18:12] ratcheer: Should I try that? [18:12] doing fsck first .... === HakonKL-DINNERAT is now known as HaakonKL_is_eata [18:13] fsck check out ok [18:13] Dr_Willis : it's not iso , it files as backup [18:13] ubuntunewbie: or perhaos i missread that. :0 Im not even sure you CAN access multisession cd's in ubuntu. [18:13] ratcheer: That's larger than my monitor's native resolution... [18:13] nyuszika7h: It works for a lot of people and it is the right way to try to do it. [18:13] Whitor: [18:13] Whitor: Did you get a logged in? [18:13] I dont even have any multisession cd's to check. [18:13] Dr_Willis : that's what i feel funny , i can access other multisection dvd , but the problem it there's an error during burn . === HaakonKL_is_eata is now known as HaakonKL_eatan [18:14] Dr_Willis : but at lease of hoping to read back the previous season [18:14] nyuszika7h: I don't know, it should be your monitor's native res. But, 1280x800 does not sound normal. [18:14] ubuntunewbie: you could try using dd, or dd_rescue to put the cd in a iso file and try to mount that. [18:14] 16:10 [18:14] ubuntunewbie: actually i'm not sure, that error is the error I see when it can't read the disk, did you have a different OS on this box prior? did it work then? [18:14] wxga [18:14] considering i'm behind a router, is there a terminal command or method i can use to echo my internet IP not my device and lan ip's? [18:14] spezticle: theres several commands/scripts that ive seen at web sites that can do that. [18:14] nyuszika7h: have you actually tried it? [18:15] spezticle: many use wget/curl and grab the info from a 'whatismyip' type website [18:15] spezticle: yeah [18:15] mickster04: no... [18:15] nyuszika7h: do it and see what happens [18:15] Dr_Willis: turned out what was needed was a reboot to fully activate the changed remote desktop settings [18:15] or... to be exact... i already set it but didn't restart [18:15] spezticle: give me a sec [18:15] on the ubuntu netbook [18:15] okay, a minute or two... [18:15] now it's working [18:15] thanks everybody :) [18:15] brainproxy: thatss weird. a logout/back in should of sufficed. :) [18:16] hi, is this true: active directory isnt supported by linux? :O [18:16] can someone plz help me w/ my firefox problem? [18:16] !AD [18:16] You can learn more about ActiveDirectory intergration at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto [18:16] spezticle: `wget http://Www.whatismyip.org -O - -o /dev/null` [18:16] Dr_Willis : stenchmaster : The error is when I burn the nero stuck at 5% burning , it doesn't move for quite some time for my second season burning .I just click cancel to aboard burning .I insert it back and it said unbuntu can't mount [18:16] antivirtel: apraently its false :) [18:16] ubuntunewbie: you are using nero on linux? [18:16] perfect, thank you much! [18:16] Dr_Willis : yes [18:16] Dr_Willis: They have ported it, haven't they? Not that I see the point... :p [18:17] mickster04: you could replace -o /dev/null with -q [18:17] ubuntunewbie: You may have better luck sticking with other apps. [18:17] Dr_Willis : what do you mean ? [18:17] jrib: oh well i just copied it from a post i found, i use it to update my no-ip [18:17] I am getting a new computer soon, it will have the GA-X58A-UD3R mobo and an intel i7 930 @ 4.2ghz I want a raid 5 array for /home would it be better to use the bios's built in raid or softwere raid? [18:17] ubuntunewbie: use k3b, or any of a dozen other alternatives to do your cd burning on linux. [18:17] ubuntunewbie: There are plenty of good and free (beer && freedom) cd burning programs for Ubuntu [18:17] hello there [18:18] I perfer k3b. :) not sure what nativbe gnome ones are even out. [18:18] ubuntunewbie: ahh that's a better explanation, I would imagine it than mounts after a reboot or no? [18:18] hi [18:18] tried that [18:18] is there an way to use notify-send to show rss feeds? [18:18] same as 1280×800 [18:18] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan : but all of them can't do multi season burning [18:18] trying one thing [18:19] ubuntunewbie: also try Brasero in linux works very well [18:19] ubuntunewbie: i cant even think of a reason i need multi-session burning... [18:19] ubuntunewbie: Don' [18:19] testrun: if you can get them yes, some kind of wget type thing and then s=just use the libnotify-send (i ugess you have that installed) [18:19] stenchmaster : i reboot , try accessing using window but it can not read.It shows there's data of use space but empty [18:19] ubuntunewbie: Brasero is good enough, but why on earth would you want multi-session? If you really want to do good backups, get a cheap external HDD and back up to that. :) [18:19] ubuntunewbie: k3b seems to support Multisession.. its in their menus at least [18:20] yes i have libnotify installed and it works okey, but i would like to use it to show rss feeds [18:20] Dr_Willis : sometimes , backing up a 1GB of picture jpeg from a camera , you still left 3GB on a dvd [18:20] Also, CD-R s are cheap. [18:20] ubuntunewbie: If you deal with RAWs, why not just byte the dust immediately and get an external HDD? [18:20] testrun: if you work out how to get just new feed items then yes, i wouldn't know how to? [18:20] Dr_Willis : but it doesn't work on third and forth multisession [18:20] I mean, 1gb files? [18:20] testrun: thats more offtopin [18:20] testrun: thats more offtopic [18:20] hi [18:21] hmm [18:21] I dont even bother backing up to optical disks any more. :0 Redundant stack of USB hard drives. :) [18:21] HaakonKL_eatan: backup with a disc is easy for carrying and borrow to a friends [18:21] I know I'm being retarded, but can anyone tell me why `groups` is giving me different output than `groups myaccountname`? [18:21] hey everybody. Im trying to install xubuntu on my laptop inplace of ubuntu. when i get to the paritioning section of the install it says "no root file system defined" and it doesnt give me any options about which partition to install on? [18:22] i got no sound since i've updated the kernel today :( I use only alsa but nothing plays look here http://www.onlyfree.de/php/pasteservice/show.php?id=20584 [18:22] kanja: man groups explains [18:22] goomba5454: have you clicked ona partition to define what file format..thats where you define what goes on there too? [18:22] i also try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) [18:22] but still nothing. [18:22] ubuntunewbie: I think Nero didn't leave the disk to multisession'd in the correct state or ubuntu can not understand it, either way I think it's a burning issue, I would imagine it can read other dics just fine [18:22] none of the partitions are listed on the paritioning menu. there is literally nothing there. its the strangest thing [18:22] Trying to install a new HDD, but Ubuntu won't detect it all, even though the BIOS lists it as an IDE, is there anything I can do, anyone? [18:23] have anyone an idea? [18:23] goomba5454: did you do the cd test? [18:23] no. should i try that? [18:23] Hi, gnome automount my partitions/disks which is nice, can kde do the same? [18:23] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan , stenchmaster: the only think as assume was it , it can't read the block correctly as it does finish lead in lead out [18:23] goomba5454: mayb the cd isn't working so yes [18:23] Guest48507: how are you trying to install it? [18:23] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan , stenchmaster: is there anyway to force reading even with an error block ? [18:23] im pretty sure its not the cd but i will try anyway. thanks [18:23] mount -f /dev/sr0 [18:24] Dr_Willis > group policy is supported by linux? [18:24] jrib; Installing any OS onto it, or formatting it so I can use it as a slave drive. I can't do either though, because it won't show up in gparted or detected using fdisk -l. [18:24] 一头雾水 [18:24] jrib: so the way groups works is that without an argument it gives the groups of the current process - which is just a tty [18:24] hi all [18:24] Guest48507: what does dmesg say? [18:24] kanja: sure [18:25] gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor process get 18% of cpu time it is normal [18:25] 我太困了 [18:25] kanja: if you log out and log back (and don't make any more changes to your groups), the output should be the same [18:25] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan , stenchmaster: http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8104/erry.png [18:26] jrib: I'm sshed in to a different box - after adding a new group and adding this account to it, logging out and back in I'm still not seeing it for the process I'm running as [18:26] jrib: Can I private message you some of the output?

[18:27] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/444736/ [18:27] jrib: I can try [18:28] Guest48507: where does your disk get plugged in? [18:28] lost network manager and parcellite applet after updates on ubuntu lucid can any1 help?? Sony Vaio f series computer [18:28] Guest48507: or is this internal? [18:28] jrib: This is internal. [18:28] cliff, install them back [18:29] so I'm trying to make ubuntu work in a virtualized environment. It was installed in one environment, and is being used in another. Only the contents of the disks are the same. Is there a "reset everything you know about the system" command? [18:29] jrib: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/c9CuuDY3 [18:29] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan , stenchmaster: I am able to view the season on k3b but I still can't read it [18:29] Guys is there anyway to replace Empathy with Pidgin messenger on the "Indicator Applet" Like with the who chat thing n all? [18:29] seems like networking fails because it assumes the same network setup as on install time, etc [18:29] hi [18:30] pidgin is deprecated and stale [18:30] Guest48507: you think those "failed" messages correspond to the new disk? [18:30] i doubt it's still developing [18:30] jrib: log out and back in between adding the group and running groups [18:30] jrib: I certainly believe so, there are no other hdds in the computer at the moment. [18:30] Is it possible to make it so Ubuntu will scroll windows with the mouse wheel without having to push the alt button? [18:30] guys is thr any1 who has faced some problem installing ubuntu through windows installer on xp sp3??? [18:30] on a new internal hard drive, I want to dual boot 2 or more installs of ubuntu. do I partition in advance so I have these partitions: 1 boot, 1swap, 2ea ext4 parts for root?. Then do two installs? using the alt cd? [18:31] Guest48507: so this is on a live cd? [18:31] jrib: Yeah. [18:31] anyone? [18:31] any1 plz answer my query... [18:31] drizzt_: Empathy is featureless, it doesn't even have buddy pounces, so IMO sucks until it has buddy pounce features like Pidgin. [18:31] jrib: got it. I was being retarded [18:32] kanja: :) [18:32] jrib: I was pooling ssh connections, and I had another term window open [18:32] jrib: so I wasn't _really_ logging out and back in :( [18:32] what is the hotkeys for switching screens in irssi? [18:32] any1 plz answer my query... [18:32] alt+number? [18:32] jrib: Thanks for the help! [18:32] kanja: no problem [18:32] yep [18:33] Hassan-Zaheer: what is your query? [18:33] im back. I ran the cd check and it said there were no defects [18:33] guys is thr any1 who has faced some problem installing ubuntu through windows installer on xp sp3??? [18:33] anyone point me to doc on dual booting two instances of ubuntu? [18:33] I tried at first with the network manager, it didn't work. I actually have them installed, they just don't run [18:33] Guest48507: I don't know. Nothing in the dmesg output really suggests anything to me. Try the alternate cd and a different distro to see if the results are the same [18:34] How do I open up a "new display" to run a program from VM ? [18:34] instead of running it on my current :D [18:34] any chance nvidia-glx-185 will get ported to powerpc ? [18:34] jrib: Thanks for your help. I think I've found a bug report which shows the same issues from other users. [18:34] what do you mean Hassan-Zaheer? what windows installer? [18:34] Also drizzt_ , It still even has the same problem as Pidgin had with AIM to SMS saying "Unable to send to user, user is not available" Yet the AIM to SMS feature on official AIM clients work flawless. [18:34] ubuntu's windows installer [18:35] Guest48507: ah good, at least you now you know where the problem is === mirco_ is now known as mirco [18:35] Hassan-Zaheer: yes, what do you mean? like you used the windows installer to install ubuntu to a flash drive? [18:35] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer [18:35] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan , stenchmaster: I really hope to fix it , i gtg now , hoping there's a solution for it [18:36] Curious: about how many folks use Verizon Mobile to connect their notebook or laptop? [18:36] never tried that Hassan-Zaheer, all i do is use the usb installer from pendrive [18:36] is there a way to start nautilus from tty and redirect it to the gui session? [18:36] just create separate partitions on your hard drive and install the ubuntus on the partition you want (the installer lets you pick) [18:36] ibqn: DISPLAY=:0.0 nautilus (or set DISPLAY appropriately) [18:36] I'm looking to make a POS out of a linux box - I can't find drivers for a credit card / magnetic strip reader. Anybody know anything about this? [18:37] !flash [18:37] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:37] Lucid fresh install Movie Player (Totem) has wrong colours (mplayer -vo xv has same issue). Using Nvidia current for graphics driver, note prior to reinstall of 10.04 my previous Lucid install updated since alpha2 did not exhibit this problem. [18:37] where is the information stored (file wise) for startup scripts on default. Is it within /etc/defaults/ ? [18:37] bvq: why? [18:38] jrib: I've been trying to add a script using update-rc.d and I get a warning that it's not LSB compliant or whathave you. Dont want it to be. But I want to confirm my script is added. Its not in /etc/default/ [18:40] bvq: what script? what does it do? Ubuntu uses upstart now, so you should probably write it as an upstart job instead. That's assuming it belongs there. Maybe you can achieve what you are doing more easily (thus my "why?"). But if you use update-rc.d, the script should be in /etc/init.d/ and you'll get symlinks in /etc/rc*.d [18:40] I am getting a new computer soon, it will have the GA-X58A-UD3R mobo and an intel i7 930 @ 4.2ghz I want a raid 5 array for /home would it be better to use the bios's built in raid or softwere raid? [18:40] did someone try to install Razor on ubuntu? [18:41] bvq: you realize there's a required structure for scripts in /etc/init.d/ right? [18:41] paddy_: software raid [18:41] is it possible to use mouse buttons (like the ones that often are on the side of the mouse) in global shortcuts? For instance, using Ctrl + Alt + Button 6 to switch workspace to the left? [18:42] frxstrem: should be [18:42] Dr_Willis , HaakonKL_eatan , stenchmaster: thanks [18:42] jrib: any idea how? [18:43] jrib: is that a feature of Ubuntu or a bug? I dont want start/stop/status and all that foobar. I have a particular set of mount --bind and mount -o remount,ro commands I need run at startup. I should be able to just bash script it and have that script run on startup no? [18:43] frxstrem: press those buttons when you set the shortcut? [18:43] Is it possible to make it so Ubuntu will scroll windows with the mouse wheel without having to push the alt button? [18:43] hello [18:43] bvq: why aren't you using /etc/fstab? [18:43] jrib: well, duh, it is **keyboard** shortcuts, so of course it doesn't work that way [18:43] thepiratebay: Hi, :) Lol, nice nick, :D === Ose is now known as Ose|away [18:44] ? [18:44] :D thnx rocket16 [18:44] !away > Ose|away [18:44] Ose|away, please see my private message [18:44] hi. im installing xubuntu 10.04 on my older laptop right now and i am at step 4 where i have choosen to manually partition my disk because i want a dual boot with xp. the problem is that i have no idea what i am doing here and i do not want to destroy my xp partition (loose data and all). what should i do? [18:44] thepiratebay: :) You're welcome, :D [18:44] jrib: I tried, looks like I cant do a mount --bind -o ro in Ubuntu. Have to do mount --bind && mount -o remount,ro and I cant have two lines of it in fstab, as it was just doing the first line when I do mount /bla [18:45] aosys: You can select to choose between each startup, but it might be buggy. So, is your XP installed in C drive? [18:45] bvq: why do you say you can't do it in ubuntu? [18:45] yes xp is on c:\ [18:45] anyone else get a kernel panic while using Pidgin? (2.6.32-22) [18:45] aosys, go back and select the top (I believe) option that would divide your main partition in two, and it still keep Windows while also giving you the option to boot with XP [18:45] I meant Ubuntu (not XP)* [18:46] Hi [18:46] !hi | MikeH_ [18:46] MikeH_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [18:46] bvq: I seem to recall doing it fine in the past, but I don't care to verify now. If you are positive, you should just be using /etc/rc.local [18:46] [pid 8222] write(2, "Exiting because another libpurpl"..., 61Exiting because another libpurple client is already running. [18:46] ) = 61 [18:46] i am actually installing Xubuntu 10.04 and the top option says "Erase and use entire disk" so that is why I have avoided that option [18:47] just trying to isntall 10.4 from live cd, and it seems to freeze after clicking forward from the "where are you" time zone selection screen [18:47] aosys, well, shouldn't there be another option for what I said? [18:47] aosys: Then, make sure that any of those drives is free, and select the last partition from the partition list (make sure, the last drive among C, D, E, F, G etc. is free), and double click that partition. Now, change "Do not use this pastition" to "Ext4" and select the space to be something, that about 1.4 GB is left. Now, check "Format", and click ok. Now, you'll see 1.4 GB free space. Double click that, and change "do not use this" to "SWap" [18:47] MikeH_, patience, it can take up to a minute, per step [18:47] Hi, I have a major problem. Am trying to install ubuntu, have 80gb space left but in between my windows and arch linux partitions. Now ubuntu says it cannot use this free space, help me! [18:48] it is different from the Ubuntu 10.04 step 4 of the installation. there are 2 choices. "Erase and use entire disk" & "Specify Partitions Manually (Advanaced) [18:48] jrib: good call on /etc/rc.local, I forgot about that :) [18:48] folkert: Did you select to make new partitions there? Double click it, and make ext4 there. [18:48] bvq: out of curiousity, did you find some sort of bug about bind, or? [18:48] k pasa [18:49] Hello folks, I'm trying to customize some polkit-1 definitions, but it doesn't look like the file is being read.

[19:54] falafell: unfortunately, in our world, a great meany of the population would find it hard and unnecessarily to revert to command line to write some commands. it's the truth and I agree it shouldn't be necessity [19:54] a great many lol [19:55] hard and unnecessarily to [19:55] be necessity [19:55] what are you on [19:56] edgy, i agree that this would be easy and should be integrated into the GUI, but it's realy a small thing, prety much everything can be done GUI for normal usage [19:56] hello everyone [19:56] I need help getting my webcam to work with firefox (for chatroulette, etc), anyone want to help? [19:56] hey DOFS explain further please [19:56] DOFS, you can't access flash settings? [19:57] I click allow, but then nothing shows up [19:57] I'm trying to make dual boot work on my friend's macbook (intel). I never used OS X or Macs. Will I need some sort of bootloader? Can anybody give me some pointers? [19:57] even though it works with cheese/camorama [19:57] Hovefirse: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/prevent-xorg-from-starting-in-linux/ [19:57] Jordan_U: you have an actual helpful answer or just like playing with the bot [19:57] edgy: all OSes require that a user not use the standard GUI for some tasks. [19:57] leo_rockway mac comes iwth its own bootloader called boot camp specifically for dual boots [19:57] falafell: you know I really believe there is a way but we don't know it [19:57] leo_rockway: iirc, you can't easily have *three* operating systems, so if you want mac+win+linux, i'd recommend wubi [19:57] that's also an easy route as windows on mac is very very supported [19:57] jrr: no Windows. [19:57] hrm [19:57] DOFS, it's a known issue with flash i think, you have to manualy set that website to safe using adobe's settings manager (google it) [19:58] mneptok: not for the easy tasks, can you think of one case you need to use cli in Windows where you can do it in GUI in linux for normal tasks [19:58] why can't you easily hav three operating systems, exactly [19:58] alright, thanks falafell [19:58] GuyCanada: so can I just boot from the live CD and install Ubuntu? [19:58] Jordan_U, okay. very very slow progress........ [19:58] hi- I've got sound working, but its not working in firefox with youtube, it was 10 minutes ago (ubuntu 9.10), anyone any ideas please? [19:58] edgy, it should be right there, at the permissions tab if you ask me, if it's somewhere hidden it's prety much the same as having to use the cli [19:58] GuyCanada: I installed Ubuntu on it on its own without a problem, but he wants to keep the dual boot. [19:58] edgy: that's not what i said. [19:58] thx yoyoned. let's see where it takes me! [19:58] leo_rockwway, i havent done it myself but i know lots of peopel whos installed windows as a dual boot on macs who are otehrwise computer illiterate, so i cant imagine they installed themselves a bootloader [19:59] edgy: i dod not say that "Linux provides a GUI for things Windows does not" [19:59] GuyCanada: okay, thanks. [19:59] techMiles: "sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/00_header" just to get things back to defaults and try asking in ##grub. My guess is that grub-probe is hanging for some reason. [19:59] techMiles: Make that #grub, not ##grub [19:59] edgy: i said that every OS requires a command line UI for some tasks. [20:00] in the sound predferences, in applications, it says firefox is using ALSA, and the notifications in firefox makes sounds fine, but youtube wont make sounds [20:00] falafell, I have found the settings manager, but where it is supposed to show up on the adobe website is just a blank square :| [20:00] http://macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html#117645 [20:01] Jordan_U, tyvm. :) [20:01] mneptok: I know every OS should have a UI and I 100% agree but that was not our point. Our point is easy tasks shouldn't need it [20:01] techMiles: You're welcome. [20:01] ..aaaand bow its working... its seems to be being quite tempremental... [20:01] in alsamixer, what is it to enable/disable something? like if the up and down arrows don't work [20:02] edgy: I saw that problem before. My friend told me she switched to Chromium because it was working there... only to stop working a few days later. [20:02] well, yoyoned, not too far...lucid didn't find services-admin from the prompt, and didn't have services under Administation...where should Inow look...? [20:02] DOFS, O_o... i see... i've always used that to work around the issue, but now i get a white block too :S [20:02] edgy: your definition of "easy" is not the same as mine. "easy" is subjective, not objective. thus, "all easy tasks" is an unachievable goal. [20:02] falafell, D:! [20:02] falafell, oh wait, found another site that works with it [20:02] :D [20:02] mneptok: to be more accurate, I shouldn't need cli to save files to my second partition [20:03] edgy: i can tell you that the average user does not have a problem being told to open a terminal and type a command. and my experience in making this assertion is quite extensive. [20:03] edgy: you don't. [20:03] Hovefirse: try sudo service gdm off [20:03] DOFS, a site that works, or an applet that lets you adjust settings? [20:03] mneptok: I don't what? [20:03] edgy: need cli for that [20:03] edgy: you don't need the CLI to save files to another partition. [20:04] falafell, another page on the adobe website with it [20:04] http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html [20:04] leo_rockway mneptok: I hope you are right. my question was when I go to Places -> MyDisk, it's mounted as root by default so I cannot save anything to it [20:04] edmund: maybe it's time to let flash die and use WebM [20:04] hello, im having prolems with doc-base, when using apt-get, everytime is says theres an error. is it safe to remove it on lucid? [20:05] DOFS, yeah, thats it .. :) [20:05] edgy: what file system does "MyDisk" use? [20:05] mneptok: ext4 [20:05] thanks falafell :D === gmiazreclian_ is now known as gmiazreclian [20:05] leo_rockway: whats WebM? [20:05] Hey guys I just installed ubuntu 10.04. but when I installed it i didnt get the option to encrypt my home folder... is it because that is no longer an option or is it because you need to have a seperate partition to encrypt the home folder or what? thanks [20:05] np [20:05] yoyoned: "The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but off is not supported for Upstart jobs." [20:05] edgy: it's a secondary partition, with no system files on it? just storage space? [20:05] edmund: new format that YouTube is implementing. Next version of Firefox will support it. [20:06] edmund: Google freed that format for all of us to use. [20:06] hi, how can I know the changes between a package using only $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade? I'd like to know why I'm upgrading [20:06] mneptok: it's a secondary partition with ext4 system on it and already some files on it [20:07] edgy: but your Linux system and its associated files are *NOT* stored on that partition? [20:07] So my keyboard bindings are all buggered up with i try to use the console. I have no desktop gui only console. How/ where can i find out how-to correct this problem [20:07] mneptok: yes, MyDisk is for my data [20:07] leo_rockway: ooh good, will it make the videos actually play, and be less slideshowy, I haven't got a top spec computer atall, but I would've thought a 2.8Ghz pentium 4 and 512mb ram should be able to play a flash video, but apparently not... [20:08] edgy: please open a terminal, type "df -h" and pastebin the output [20:09] edmund: I haven't tried it yet. I programmed the backend of tinyogg.com, you can try that. [20:09] hi dudes, is it safe to remove 'doc-base' from lucid? [20:09] mneptok: you want df -h or mount? [20:09] edgy: i prefer df -h [20:10] Hey guys I just installed ubuntu 10.04. but when I installed it i didnt get the option to encrypt my home folder... is it because that is no longer an option or is it because you need to have a seperate partition to encrypt the home folder or what? thanks [20:10] john262: theres an option somewhere to encrypt ur folder [20:10] mneptok: http://pastebin.ca/1877435 [20:10] edgy: a moment, please [20:10] mneptok: the problem happened with wealth and ubuntu+1 [20:11] edgy: i don;t see "MyDisk" [20:11] edgy: so it's those 2 partitions you named above? [20:11] mneptok: yes, those two [20:11] edgy: may i PM? [20:11] mneptok: sure === Chazz is now known as Guest34893 [20:15] Hello [20:15] Hey guys I just installed ubuntu 10.04. but when I installed it i didnt get the option to encrypt my home folder... is it because that is no longer an option or is it because you need to have a seperate partition to encrypt the home folder or what? thanks === Guest34893 is now known as dabomb69 [20:16] john262: it is definitely an option [20:16] I installed lucid yesterday and it was there [20:16] you either missed it or you need home in a different partition [20:16] probably the latter [20:16] leo_rockway, so you had a seperate home partition? [20:16] john262: yes [20:17] john262: well, not me, but the installation of lucid I made [20:17] leo_rockway, arghh guess its back to reinstalling [20:17] leo_rockway, this sucks [20:17] So my keyboard bindings are all buggered up with i try to use the console. I have no desktop gui only console. How/ where can i find out how-to correct this problem [20:18] Does anyone know what size more or less I should make the root / partition for an installation of 10.04 lucid lynx? I have quite a small (60GB) hard drive. thanks [20:19] john262: i usually go for 10gb [20:19] john262: you can go as low as 5, but it would be pretty tight [20:19] hi all , i want to inatall ubuntu 10.04 ,and my CPU is intel Centrino Duo , i 'll use ubuntu as a desktop PC , what should i choose between ISO-AMD64 & ISO-32 [20:20] I wouldn't go any lower than 8 and I'd definitely use at least 10 if you can spare it, john262 [20:20] john262: and no you dont need a separate partition to encrypt your home folder. its on the screen where you set your password [20:20] Can I use Ubuntu 10.04 with ATI RADEON HD 2400 ? [20:20] maco, really? i didnt see it.. is there a way to setup encryption AFTER ubuntu has been installed? === marc__ is now known as Guest27637 [20:20] adamlinux: YEs [20:21] leo_rockway, thanks. Ill go with 15 GB or so then, this is just a temp machine and i wont be storing much stuff on it [20:21] john262: you could make a temporary user, delete your old one, and then remake your old one thsi time with that setting [20:21] mguy: I have a problem, when the install cd loading, I get just the command line, and nothing X. [20:21] maco .. sounds good. ill give it a try [20:22] john262: adduser --encrypt-home username [20:22] john262: to make a new user with encrypted home [20:22] adamlinux: try safe graphics mode [20:22] adamlinux: or you don't even get to the menu? [20:23] maca : thanks so much, i was going to see if i could find an option in the GUI to enable encryption [20:23] just changed from Kubuntu to Ubuntu, like it better [20:24] Guest27637: you know you can have both at the same time? [20:24] hey can you say me how to generate 10 characters permutation list? [20:24] Guest27637: that's because Kubuntu's KDE is pretty awful. [20:24] enjiei: what? [20:24] maco: do you know how to encrypt the swap partition? [20:24] john262: no [20:24] Hello again, respected members, [20:25] leo_rockway: er it doesnt differ much from upstream kde [20:25] maco: it does... a lot [20:25] maco, k, ill see if i can find some info online [20:25] can anyone help me out? i got the auto update of ubuntu 10.04 and the login screen disappeared? how can I fix it? I can login only through terminal. [20:26] leo_rockway: for the most part, the kubuntu team will not integrate any patches that upstream has not signed off on [20:26] leo_rockway: all the patches i can think of that upstream has rejected are in kickoff, where we have slightly different text alignment and only 2-levels-deep menus [20:27] Eri1: You need to reset the GDM now. Remove gdm using: sudo apt-get purge gdm and reinstall it using: sudo apt-get install gdm [20:28] is this all i hav e to do? [20:28] leo_rockway: thanks I try now the safe graphics mode. [20:28] Anyone knows how to install correct drivers for nvidia 9100M in ubuntu 10.04. Envy not supported [20:28] Eri1: Yes, it will probably solve the problem [20:28] rocket16: thanks, i'm gonna try it now [20:29] Eri1: Sure [20:31] maco: I haven't tried it for a while, maybe things have changed. I shouldn't have said that without trying it out lately. [20:31] Lama_Chok: Have you looked at the Hardware page? [20:31] !resetpanel [20:31] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:31] Hi! [20:32] leo_rockway: one of the 10.04 reviews blasted kubuntu for not diverging enough from upstream making it "too average" [20:32] whats the easiest way to setup a print driver so i can print to pdf from most applications [20:32] MACscr: install cups-pdf [20:32] maco: I stopped using Kubuntu when KDE4 was included when it was just post Aaron Seigo development state. It was unusable at the time. [20:32] When I removed the restricted nVIDIA drivers and restarted GDM, Ubuntu reverted back to 1024×768, so I decided to reinstall it again, and this time, don't install those drivers. [20:32] maco: thanks [20:33] leo_rockway: i switched to it when 4.2 was released [20:33] Hi, is there someone relative good at dual monitor setup. I'm in need of some help.

I reloaded Ubuntu to get the grub back and all was fine but now I cleared the partition it was on and now I have no MBR or Grub so I can only get on with the live cd.

[21:01] Eri1: ok [21:01] i need help with watching dvds on ubuntu and it keeps poping up with 2 errors === Darky is now known as zz_Darky [21:01] i need help with watching dvds on ubuntu and it keeps poping up with 2 error [21:01] i need help with watching dvds on ubuntu and it keeps poping up with 2 error [21:01] i need help with watching dvds on ubuntu and it keeps poping up with 2 error [21:01] evan_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:01] Sorry, those i DONT want to be transparent [21:01] evan_: whats the error? [21:02] evan_: only need to post once... [21:02] acerimmer_, vbox 3.2.2, guestadditions installed [21:02] Guest25843: when the guest is running, go the the vbox men and enable full screen - always works for me. [21:02] could not read from resource [21:03] thats 1 [21:03] Eri1: you should definitely comment that line. That will make the kernel choice appear [21:03] lint_: are you using gnome? or ubuntu stock? [21:03] ciao [21:03] evan_: have you installed the codecs for dvds? [21:03] Hrm, how should I activate lvm2 at boot? [21:04] yea and fresh instell not mods [21:04] Should I put vgchange -a y somewhere or is there a more elegant solution? [21:04] are linux-headers necessary for installing nvidia proprietary drivers with newer revision of the kernel? [21:04] ff88: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [21:04] where is the $TERM evironment variable set? I need to change it to xterm-256color so i could compile elinks with 256 color support [21:04] j #thinkwiki [21:04] evan_: so you installed css? [21:04] no i have not activated it [21:04] Eri1: please, comment it, and raise the timeout [21:05] ff88: comment what line? [21:05] sorry! [21:05] Eri1: that line. GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [21:05] acerimmer_, this works but i did not understand what this have to do with the question [21:05] ff88: can you give me an example? [21:05] comment is putting # before the line [21:05] Eri1: # GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [21:05] Suppose I were to boot from a live CD and I needed to find out what motherboard the PC has... is there a command that would give me that info? [21:05] idk [21:05] Anyone on the LVM thing? [21:05] oh, I see thanks! [21:05] Eri1: furthermore, check GRUB_TIMEOUT is at least 5 [21:06] evan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats have you looked there? [21:06] !restricted codecs | evan_ [21:06] Eri1: otherwise it'll be too fast [21:06] Guest25843: ? OK maybe I didn't understand your question? I thought you were trying to get your guest OS into full screen mode?... *blush* sorry for the confusion [21:06] ff88: that one is 10 [21:06] ok [21:06] yea [21:06] Eri1: then..now listen to me... close and SAVE the file [21:06] mkquist: !dvd is the factoid you're looking for. [21:06] where is the $TERM evironment variable set? [21:06] Andorin, lshw | more [21:06] Eri1: and run sudo update-grub [21:06] acerimmer_, no problem. I'm trying to access the whole windows guest partition from the ubuntu host so i can run clamav on it [21:07] Eir1: if you won't run update-grub, this work will be useless [21:07] bastid_raZor: ty [21:07] does anyone know how i would force a netgear router to restart itself? [21:07] !dvd | evan_ [21:07] evan_: 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 [21:07] ff88: ok, I'll try it [21:07] Eri1: when you've done all of this, reboot and keep an eye on the screen. You'll see a console-like kernel choicer. Select an old kernel and try [21:07] hmm, bug #589850 is annoying [21:08] Guest25843: just to be clear, you want clamAV running on ubunut to protect your guest OS? [21:08] demirulez: Thanks :D [21:08] Eri1: you can revert this changes uncommenting the line and re-running update-grub [21:08] Andorin, no problem [21:08] ff88: need to go offline here cause have only one network cable, if doesn't work, will be back [21:08] i forget is compiz a problem on client or server with ssh? [21:08] Eri1: if the old kernel works fine, you still have a problem to solve. But you can use your machine [21:08] spezticle, goto netgear.lan or the ip of your router, login, and goto reset [21:08] acerimmer_, not to protect just one scan and i'm fine [21:09] spezticle: if you go onto the router management via 192.168.0.1 you can restart from there, but i suppose a 'forced' reboot would have to be manual (i.e pull out plug/ on and off again) [21:09] well hello, any body noticed that there is no network manager icon after the last update? [21:09] ff88: thanks a lot for help [21:09] Eri1: np :) [21:09] Eri1: tell us if it works [21:09] alloosh: no [21:09] alloosh: still there [21:09] mkquist: compiz is a gui thing, not sure how it'd screw with ssh other than by crashing the whole computer occasionally ;) [21:09] ff88: ok, will be back in few min [21:09] is it possible to disable ~ as an alias for the home directory, and make it a literal ~ instead? [21:10] mkquist: well on both my computer, which I never change their configurations, there is no network icons [21:10] testing [21:10] Docteh_: maybe i shouldve added to see the other desktop graphically... [21:10] (I ask this because I have *twice* removed my home directory by mistake the last week using ~) [21:10] Guest25843: OK. Don't know how that would work. how to access the guest addition and whether or not a linux app can even protect a windows app. Anyway, clamwin is a free app FOR windows. Also AVG is free on windows. Maybe install to windows directly? [21:10] frxstrem: that'd depend on exactly where you're using the ~, gotta escape it === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux_ [21:10] frxstrem: if you want a literal ~, just escape it [21:10] whoami [21:11] Docteh_, jrib: no, I want to permanently disable it [21:11] also preferences -> network connections does not show anything in the wired network (which I am using ) [21:11] alloosh: do you mean in the notification area? [21:11] frxstrem: why? I imagine that's not easily accomplished [21:11] mkquist: for the start that should do:) [21:11] mkquist: dont know how to get it back to the notification area [21:11] jrib: I just said why...(look a bit back in the chat log) [21:12] frxstrem: what are you running that you remove your home directory? [21:12] acerimmer_, all i want is mount the whole windows root ("c:\") in ubuntu..do you think it is possible ? [21:12] rm -rf ~ [21:13] Docteh_: ? [21:13] Guest25843: the difficulty depends on how the windows is on disk, is it a partition, is it an image file? is it a sparse image file? [21:13] Guest25843: *passing on this question. defers to those with more knowledge* sorry. don't know. re-ask the channel. [21:13] Docteh_: please at least address people with dangerous commands like that [21:13] Docteh_: yes, that's what I do when I actually want to remove the literal directory ~ [21:13] Guest25843: also theres a virtualbox channel here [21:13] Docteh_: What file are you looking to remove instead? [21:14] acerimmer_, alright, thanks for your help ! [21:14] frxstrem: honestly, name it something else. But maybe #bash can tell you how to disable ~ expansion [21:14] hey guys. I used wubi installer to install ubuntu 9.1, but my partition is getting dreadfully small. What is the easiest way to increase my partition [21:14] frxstrem: refer to it with the full path see if ls `pwd`/~/ works [21:14] Docteh_, the windows is a vbox guest [21:14] Can I access a DAAP share at home from work. I realize we need to forward ports, but doesn't it use bonjour? I would really like to be able to do this.... [21:14] in 10.04 how do I set x to NOT run by default? [21:14] Docteh_: well, ./~ works too... [21:15] is there any reasoning why ubuntu makes evolution its standard mailm program [21:15] ZenMasta: look into update.rc and remove gdm from it [21:15] I had seen forums posts about editing inittab but I dont see that file, and the forum posts were years old === CaptainTrek is now known as IAmTheTrek [21:15] ZenMasta: stop gdm from starting. Either by renaming /etc/init/gdm.conf to /etc/init/gdm.conf.disabled or by adding the condition "never" to /etc/init/gdm.conf [21:15] Is there any way, when using ssh, to ignore the "Are you sure you want to continue connecting" warning (about RSA keys), so it automatically connects to any host? [21:16] well, get the host signature first... [21:16] corin_: no... that is i don't think so. you should add that server's id_rsa.pub to your authorized keys [21:16] corin_: it only asks that the first time. There's probably a setting « man ssh_config », but ideally you would be getting the key from the host to prevent man in the middle attacks... [21:16] corin_: that warning isnt about ssh keys, its asking that because it wants to make sure you want to connect to it (its security) [21:17] well it's just with loads of servers, wanting to ssh between them all, and constantly removing/adding servers with different keys... [21:17] it's all over internal IPs, firewall only allows my servers to use them [21:17] so security isn't an issue [21:17] Guest25843: theres different ways virtualbox can have a drive image for a guest, and not all of the methods can be mounted, might have to convert it. might want to ask in #virtualbox [21:17] just had an answer - -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [21:17] :) [21:18] thanks for the advice though [21:18] Can I access a DAAP share at home from work. I realize we need to forward ports, but doesn't it use bonjour? I would really like to be able to do this as SSHFS is a little slow.

[21:44] Hello, trying for the third time in one hour here. After the automatic update of 10.04 (kernel + other stuff) the login screen disappeared and can't recall it back. Tried to login with previous kernels, did updates, etc. but nothing works. If I run startx, the desktop will appear, but it's completely useless because it's keep jumping up and down and can't click anything anyway... [21:44] Flannel: xterm-256colors [21:44] Eri1: did you remove gdm by any chance? [21:45] Im alredy there [21:46] aeon-ltd: run sudo apt-get purge gdm and apt-get install gdm, but nothing happened [21:46] how do i set the TERM variable to xterm-256colors, i wish to compile something with support for 256 colors [21:46] nmvictor: Alright, you want to add that to your ~/.profile (or ~/.bash_profile if .profile doesn't exist), to the top, add: export TERM=xterm-256colors [21:46] nmvictor: If you just want to set it temporarily (for this session) just use `TERM=xterm-256colors` at your prompt before running the other commands [21:47] Eri1: you sadi startx shows a desktop but it flickers? [21:47] Flannel: thanks, will the latter require a reboot [21:47] nmvictor: Usually it's a terminal that sets it though, not your bashrc/bash profile [21:47] aeon-ltd: right, it flickers and bars are missing [21:47] Eri1 what gpu? [21:47] nmvictor: So, check your terminal options to see if you can set it there, that's the better way to do it [21:48] I have two questions. One, I can't get kvirc to run. Why? [21:48] aeon-ltd: what's a gpu? [21:48] nmvictor: If you just use the TERM=xterm-256color at your prompt, no you don't need to restart, and it also won't save if you exit this session [21:48] Help please. I think a power loss trashed my file system badly. It booted up to X, I'm in an xterm, but trying to run "ls" now says "/bin/ls: No such file or directory". Everything seems gone. Started an fsck.ext3 before everything disappeared (didnt do anything yet). It asks me "Root inode is not a directory. Clear?" What shall I do ... my last backup is weeks old. Any way to save my files? [21:48] Eri1: graphics processing unit, your graphics card basically [21:48] second, I want to be able to use an ID card reader. I can't find out how [21:48] It's an ext3 file system [21:49] Anyone out there want to help me? [21:49] With a wubi install how do I access files on root.disk while in windows? [21:49] Is Ubuntu's policy to freeze the kernel version for each release? In other words, Lucid will always remain at 2.6.32? [21:49] aeon-ltd: it's a laptop, Toshiba Satellite, no idea what GPU [21:49] flan_suse: no [21:49] Flannel: gnome terminal doesnt seem to have that capability [21:50] aeon-ltd, so Lucid will eventually hit 2.6.34? [21:50] Eri1: you might not have proper drivers, that would explain the 'bars' problem [21:50] Kvirc help? [21:50] #ubuntu-it [21:50] flan_suse: Yeah, along with all the other package versions. They get updates, but major version changes don't happen. [21:50] is normal rkhunter say chkconfig is a script? [21:50] nmvictor: Which capability? [21:50] it's worked till the upgrade for years... [21:50] But kernel 2.6.34 fixes a lot of issues, and it's not always practical to wait for the next Ubuntu release. [21:50] flan_suse: maybe, but ubuntu tends to never meet the bleeding edge of releases, due to the documentation they have to provide to users [21:50] aeon-ltd, understood. [21:50] Flannel: to set the TERM variable as you had suggested [21:51] nmvictor: Which method? [21:51] aeon-ltd: it stopped working earlier today with the update... [21:51] join #kvirc [21:51] aeon-ltd: how lont till the next update of kernel if that's the issue? [21:52] Can I copy wubi installation from an PC to another? [21:52] Eri1: i don't know [21:52] Eri1: were you using 'compiz' before? [21:52] aeon-ltd: sorry again, what's compiz? [21:52] Eri1: compositing could be causing the problem if not the drivers [21:53] Eri1: compositing manager, e.g. effects on the desktop [21:53] aeon-ltd: OK, I see. i guess I use the medium effects or something. [21:54] is normal rkhunter say chkconfig is a script? [21:54] aeon-ltd: the issue is that the whole login screen disappeared... [21:54] Eri1: how about dropping back to the previous, working kernel version instead? [21:54] Eri1: i know, but that could be a separate problem, multiple updates were applied so its hard to pinpoint the source [21:55] Loshki: I think I did that, but there's the same problem.

[22:40] 76.109.208.1 [22:40] xomp: yes [22:40] hey guys [22:40] jrib: thanks :) [22:40] i'm kinda new to ubuntu.. windows vista defecter.. and i have a question [22:41] pepper_haze: then you need to find out what ip your modem/router uses for control [22:41] loshki it didm't work [22:41] Excuse me, I'm trying to connect to my wireless router on 9.10. It asks me for the WEP key. AFter I give it to it, it tries to authenticate, and then it asks for it again. The problem is not from the router as I tried 2 foreign machines that connected with no trouble. If no one can answer, any ideas of other channels that might be able to help? [22:41] i m using ubunt 9.04 [22:41] xomp: yes, 2:07am. You should be able to see if it executes by checking the cron logs... [22:41] Hey guys/gals, newb here, is there a IRC for squid? [22:41] pepper_haze: then change your ip to the same subnet and connect to the ip in the manual [22:41] mzaman: ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 ; ifconfig eth0 up [22:42] i installed a program.. gtimelog... and its asking me to edit a certain file "gtimelogrc" i can't seem to find this file on my system.. when i type find in my terminal however i see that the file at the very bottom is ./.gtimelog/gtimelogrc.. how do i get to it? [22:42] i'm not used to navigating this file structure.. yet [22:42] edmund: run alsamixer and see if you find the correct sound device identified [22:42] I'm having some trouble installing the new Ubuntu 10.04. I got one of the 9.whatever versions working before, but now I cant even get the loading screen to go. All I get is this screen with some little symbol at the bottom middle of the screen. Can anyone help me get it working? [22:42] banker247: CLI or GUI? [22:42] banker247: What text editor are you familiar with? [22:42] wil_: there is #squid. The description says "Don't ask to ask, just ask and wait..." [22:42] banker247: Places → Home, then in the menu View → Show Hidden Files [22:42] user13: it wroks [22:43] thanks [22:43] thanks Loshki! [22:43] i can't sign in my yahoo accnt via pidgin [22:43] how do I get the control ip for my internet modem? [22:43] edmund: And then look at the GUI sound mixer and see if you see the same (correct) sound card identification. [22:44] mnemon, how do I get the control ip info for my modem [22:44] ? [22:44] mzaman: sorry it didn't work. While you wait for someone else to answer, do some googling. You can reask your question at 15 minute intervals... [22:44] i can use gedit [22:44] pepper_haze: look at your modems manual [22:44] edmund: You may be experiencing a problem with pulseaudio [22:44] !pulseaudio | edmund [22:44] edmund: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [22:44] mnemon, you mean the information that cam with the modem? [22:45] I am actually renting a modem, and it didn't come with a manuel [22:45] I'm having some trouble installing the new Ubuntu 10.04. I got one of the 9.whatever versions working before, but now I cant even get the loading screen to go. All I get is this screen with some little symbol at the bottom middle of the screen. Can anyone help me get it working? [22:45] pepper_haze: You might find it on a status page by logging into your router. [22:45] how do i compile elinks with support for 256 colors? [22:45] appl6, how do I got to my status page in the router? [22:45] Coggeshall: are you attempting an upgrade or clean install with a downloaded iso? [22:46] Appl6: he has public ip, the modem is just a bridge [22:46] usr13: just running "alsamixer" will show the settings for the onboard sound, a sigmatel chip. But typing "alsamixer -c 2" will show me the settings for the SBLive card, and I've turned them all up. In the mixer the SBLive card is in one of the tabs, the sigmatel is in the first [22:46] i'm not finding it in home.. [22:46] clean install.

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [22:46] Coggeshall: did you checksum the image? [22:46] or how do i add 256 color support to my terminal? [22:46] the instructions say it makes the file in this directory.. (~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc) [22:46] but i can't find it [22:46] gay [22:46] my internet is running so far, I just wanted to tweak it, thats why I wanted to go into my modem router [22:46] mnemon: depends on your ISP. My modem has a diags page at http://192.168.100.1. Yours may (and probably is) different... [22:46] mt, sorry guys [22:46] No. How do I do that? And I assume that is just checking the .iso file for corruptions? [22:46] dont know what the ~/. means [22:47] !checksum>coggeshall [22:47] coggeshall, please see my private message [22:47] ooh hfound it had to show the hiddens.. nice thanks [22:47] edmund: See if there is a BIOS option to dissable the onboard sound and try that. [22:47] Loshki: yes, but if he has public IP(as in not in a reserved lan subnet) he needs to find out the ip the router uses and change his own ip before he can connect to it [22:48] Coggeshall: yes you want to (1) make sure you downloaded a good image and (2) make sure you burned a good image. Two quality checks. Also, gotta bake that CDROM at the slowest speed available to be safe [22:48] one other question.. what does sh: gvim: not found mean? [22:48] usr13: earlier sound wasn't working at all on Gnome, so i downloaded the latest pulseaudio files and it worked... for gnome... so I have the most up to date pulse files [22:48] Adobe Flash: I have package flashplugin-installer installed, but Firefox says I don't have flash. What do I do? [22:48] banker247: probably you didn't install gvim [22:49] im having some trouble downloading sunjava6-bin, when i type sudo apt-get install it says that there is no such file [22:49] mnemon: agreed, though it's clear that my modem is designed to sit on 192.168.1.0 by default. It's not even clear that I can change that address even if I want to... [22:49] usr13: ok I'll reboot now and try that, be back in 5 mins [22:49] greetings all, anyone having a problem with SMB shares/mounts/printers since the latest kernel updates? [22:49] abend [22:49] ich habe eine Frage [22:49] Excuse me, I'm trying to connect to my wireless router on 9.10. It asks me for the WEP key.

If no one can answer, any ideas of other channels that might be able to help? [22:49] acerimmer: I havn't done the checksum, but I have redownloaded the .iso 3 separate times and none have worked. I've been burning at the slowest offered write speed (4x). How do I checksum the disk?

[22:51] Coggeshall: np Good Luck [22:51] mnemon: ah, pardon me... [22:51] hello [22:51] AMSITGuy: I doubt that is a kernel update that has caused the problem. [22:52] acerimmer: where do I get the code for the 'compare' field? [22:52] usr13 the only 3 updates that went in today were the kernel 2.6.32-22 builds.... it was working before I rebooted, now it won't connect [22:52] Coggeshall: see the ubuntu site. each distro has a code listed. [22:52] Coggeshall: from the website where you got the image too [22:53] AMSITGuy: Try earlier kernel. [22:53] that was my next question, how can i boot a previous kernel usr13? [22:53] it's like you're reading my mind here :) [22:53] AMSITGuy: You will be presented with option to boot your various kernels when the grub screen first comes up.

[22:55] i have problem with loading ubuntu. [22:55] It gets all the way where u select language [22:56] then i select boot from cd for live cd [22:56] and cdrom is doing like mad [22:56] AcidX: All on one line, please... [22:56] but blackscreen on tv [22:56] sorry =) [22:56] the volume control on the top panel is not there, any reasons as to why. [22:56] @BitEncrypt I think you could just readd it. [22:57] I have problem with booting into ubuntu live, to install on ext hdd.It gets to the screen where u select to install or boot, i select boot.The cdrom is doing like mad, but i just got blackscreen on my tv :S [22:57] AcidX: did you checksum the iso? [22:58] For a dell inspiron with a t4300 intel processor, and 4gb of ram is it better to get the 32 bit version or 64 bit? What is the difference between them? Will 64 version run faster? [22:58] acerimmer how do i do that :S?I burned with poweriso [22:58] ubuntubeginner13: we've got the same bo [22:58] !checksum|acidX [22:58] acidX: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [22:58] 64 bit will allow you to use all of your RAM. [22:58] 32bit linux can to [22:59] too* [22:59] Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server (EC2 community AMI), did a taskel, chose LAMP install, then removed the mysql-server packages, and then added a test php file at /var/www/index.php. Upon navigating to the server's hostname (without putting index.php) it tries to download some default file. (It works.. blah blah blah blah)... but if I put an index.html in the doc root.. it works fine.. What's the solution? [22:59] 64 gigs max [22:59] ubuntubeginner13: use the 32 bit. 64 will not show any particular benefits unless you have >4 gigs ram [22:59] Well I have 4 gb of ram, will I need 64 bit version to use all 4? or 32 bit version supports 4 gb [22:59] usr13: hi, I disabled "audio device" in the bios, then when I logged in kde told me a sound device had been removed, then the startup sound played and it all the seems to be wprking fine now! [22:59] Do i need to do that before burning or after? [22:59] ubuntubeginner13: 32bit can support it [22:59] ubuntubeginner13: but not windows [22:59] usr13: so thank you for your help. [23:00] deco, So there's not yet need to go for 64 version. :) [23:00] Thank you so much everybody! [23:00] how can i make a bootable usb stick from an ubuntu iso in terminal? [23:00] ubuntubeginner13: not really .... unless you do 64bit assembly etc.. but 64bit is faster for some things [23:00] AcidX: download teh iso. checksum it. burn the iso. verify the burn. then boot. instructions are in the url. if this doesn't fix, consider using teh alternate install iso [23:00] j [23:01] deco, things like?> [23:01] does it have to be checksummed on same computer or can be on other? [23:01] ubuntubeginner13: compiling [23:01] AcidX: doesn' t matter [23:01] AcidX: any computer running ubuntu [23:01] acerimmer: any computer [23:01] @koolblue3 where would i find the icon to add it [23:01] hi all [23:01] acerimmer, windows would do also.. [23:01] cant seem to find it [23:01] i was looking for some way to enforce secure password to my users [23:01] deco, Well I have a t4300 intel processor and it says on intel website that it supports 64 bit instructions. So will it compile c code for example faster? :) [23:01] ubuntubeginner13: are you a programmer ? do you edit videos ? [23:02] test34: and osx, and a dozen other operating systems [23:02] *smacks head* you're right! [23:02] deco, Beginner programmer [23:02] so that they can't use 'easy' passwords [23:02] sjokkis, correct, it is OS independant [23:02] ubuntubeginner13: well if you use a 64bit os but its just a couple of seconds faster if it's a small program [23:02] is there a module or something i cant install for this means ? i was looking for some way to enforce secure password to my users, so that they can't use 'easy' passwords [23:02] ubuntubeginner13: won't be amazing etc... [23:02] deco, But not such a big difference ins't it?:) === erchie is now known as Erchie [23:03] deco, Ohh I see now, thank you. [23:03] ubuntubeginner13: nah just stick to 32bit ... the linux 32bit kernel can support up to 64 or 65 gigs of ram [23:03] where would i find the volume icon to add it to the panel [23:03] There it says in cmd : doc and settings, i'm on vista atm, does that mean users/username? [23:04] ubuntubeginner13: a 64bit kernel supports terabites of memory [23:04] cool [23:04] deco, And flash runs better I heard on 32 bit. On 64 bit version, flash is a pain. [23:04] ubuntubeginner13: so thousands and thousands of gigabites [23:04] ubuntubeginner13: yeah for example hulu.com messed up 64bit flash for linux so they won't play [23:04] Hello Room [23:04] ubuntubeginner13: but 64bit flash is fine just some websites like hulu messed it up [23:04] AcidX, are you from isozone? [23:04] ? [23:05] I have recently bought a new Ubuntu server and need some help to set it up [23:05] Just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Server (EC2 community AMI), did a taskel, chose LAMP install, then removed the mysql-server packages, and then added a test php file at /var/www/index.php. Upon navigating to the server's hostname (without putting index.php) it tries to download some default file. (It works.. blah blah blah blah)... but if I put an index.html in the doc root.. it works fine.. What's the solution? [23:05] ubuntubeginner13: oh and one more thing there is no official 64bit firefox [23:05] Nope ducky [23:05] deco, I see...so the one in the repositories is just a modified one? [23:05] ubuntubeginner13: you 64bit users actually have to use a 32bit firefox on their system [23:05] ericboehs, clear the browsers cache, try again [23:05] ubuntubeginner13: i mean , " the 64bit* [23:06] hi, does anybody know something about this: i was looking for some way to enforce secure password to my users, so that they can't use 'easy' passwords [23:06] ? [23:06] anyone have any luck installing recent Windows (x64) in qemu on lucid? [23:06] ubuntubeginner13: it's not modifired , they can't modify firefox and still call it firefox that's illegal [23:06] keeps BSOD'ing for me before or right after the very first install screen [23:06] can anyone help me setting up SVN.. , I have SVN on another server with 2 repositories, I want to add a folder structure on this new server into the SVN of the old system as an additional repository [23:06] AcidX, ok, sorry thought you were someone else [23:06] i mean, to enforce the use of numbers, lower and uppercase, symbols in each password [23:07] deco, Ohh it's just the 32 bit version, I thought someone modified something in order to make it run faster for the 64 bit architecture [23:07] where would i find the volume icon to add it to the panel [23:08] ubuntubeginner13: yeah [23:08] deco: Mozilla will allow you to make some changes to Firefox and still call it a Firefox Community Edition. [23:08] can anyone please help with settinup SVN on ubuntu [23:08] Appl6: tell that to debian , archlinux [23:09] I dont understand that link, it says place md5 into win/system32, then it says (Replace "filename" with the name of the md5sum) [23:09] Make sure that when you download the CD iso to download the md5sum and place it in the same directory. [23:09] what's svn? [23:09] !svn [23:09] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [23:09] never mind i gots it [23:10] Daekdroom, that's for programming? [23:10] wificurious, well, you could say so [23:10] deco: Debian and Arch weren't willing to risk Mozilla refusing to allow them to call their software Firefox CE for some arbitrary change they made. So they decided to break it off prematurely with the Mozilla Foundation. Perhaps you can read this article and stop deliberately misinforming people: http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3634591/Firefox-Not-Really-Free.htm [23:11] ubottu: thanks, I was looking at http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/INSTALL and its a 404 [23:11] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:11] This is a test [23:12] Is Chrome broken in Ubuntu for anyone else?

Going twice... heres your chance to help me out and gain massive personal satisfaction. [23:22] KenBW22, have you tried connecting to your AP without WEP or WPA? I had an intel card that would only connect with WEP for some reason. I'd suggest turning off encryption on your AP and test to see if you can connect without encryption first [23:23] AcidX: Download the .zip file. [23:23] what software did you use to burn the ISO? [23:23] e aew [23:23] poweriso [23:23] I get past run ubuntu, but the my cdrom is doing like mad, and i just get black screen, doesn't want to show anything [23:24] i know someone in here wants a good daily dose of carma and help me out with my hellanzb problem :D [23:24] AMSITGuy: I blacklisted a driver in Karmic, but as of kernel 2.6.31-20 it no longer works [23:24] @AcidX and then it spits out that error about the checksum?

[23:32] @chalk sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-aurora === KaOSoFt is now known as abotero [23:32] @acid as long as it needs to, it's not going to hurt anything spinning a disc [23:32] AMSITGuy, E: Couldn't find package gtk2-engines-aurora [23:32] so, Appl6 any ideas on my SMB issue?

Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [23:34] Why would I be able to connect to a wireless network with no password, but not the same network with a password? [23:35] trying to install ruby thru rvm on ubuntu, but get this 'error running make'. any ideas why, please? [23:35] I will put it up now, and i go watch a movie on laptop, will report back in 1 hour if anything happens [23:35] chalk: that package is not available in karmic [23:35] @kenbw22 it means that there is a bug in the driver you're using :) [23:35] @kenbw22 did it work without encryption? [23:35] Thanks for now AMSIT bb [23:35] bastid_raZor, ok, thanks [23:35] AMSITGuy: how do i do that? [23:35] I have installed kubuntu-desktop in my ubuntu installation in order to give it a try... how can I uninstall it? [23:36] chalk: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is a great place to search or in synaptic [23:36] @orangeglo right click on the file in nautilus and then go to properties, and make the file executable [23:36] AMSITGuy: the problem wasn't there with Karmic - could that point to a solution [23:36] abuayyoub i haven't an installation cd of vista, but i've already repear mbr with a n other rescu cd [23:36] AMSITGuy:ive done that, but it doesnt do anything when i try and open it [23:36] thank you all ! i got my way with pam_cracklib [23:37] i think it's good enough [23:37] bbye [23:37] @kenbw22 if i remember correctly, my intel card had a problem with WPA2 TKIP, switching to WPA2 AES worked fine [23:37] @kenbw22 what encyrption are you using? [23:37] @orangeglo now that you've added +x drop to a shell, CD to the directory that the file is in and type ./filename.bin [23:38] hi , I'm trying to run lprng in ubuntu 10.04 , and after installing it , trying to start it gives no real server running , nor does '/etc/init.d/lprng start ' show any error message. What can be wrong ? [23:38] AMSITGuy: is that the same as WPA2 Personal, and WPA2 Wnterprise, as shown in Ubuntu' [23:39] you want WPA2 personal i'm sure [23:39] Ok I may have a bad nic in my server.. It was working prior to turning it off several days ago now I can't ping it or ping out.. cables swapped with known good ones and they are fine. What else can I take a look at before putting a new nick in the machine? [23:39] but, it all depends on your AP, you'd need to log into it and see how it's configured [23:39] AMSITGuy: ok i did all of that. how do i know where it downloaded to? i dont see it [23:40] if you don't know where you downloaded it to, you can't add the +x [23:40] I have installed kubuntu-desktop in my ubuntu installation in order to give it a try... how can I uninstall it? [23:40] !puregnome > bandura [23:40] AMSITGuy: it is set to WPA2 Personal, but can't change the AP's encryption method [23:41] !pure [23:41] bandura: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [23:41] bandura: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [23:41] acerimmer: that will do nothing [23:41] thank you very much [23:41] @kenBW22 can you set it to WEP at all? for additional testing [23:42] *blush* [23:42] Scunizi: oddly enough puregnome is not a factoid :\ .. i saved the puregnome link [23:42] I have gome server with ubuntu server on it.

[23:43] can't connect to a windows printer either, keeps saying bad password even though it's not [23:43] has anyone managed to execute gnome-mixer?

[23:45] @ken latest firmware in? [23:46] AMSITGuy: correct, pass [23:46] bastid_razor: could you help me with these terminal instructions?? "Go to octoshape and execute ./OctoshapeClient -url:octoshape:BROADCASTER.channel" [23:46] bastid_razor: im not sure how to find the octoshape file [23:46] AMSITGuy: we've tried limiting the AP from WPA & WPA2, to just WPA2 and it can connect [23:47] @ken sounds like a negotiation issue.... do you have a need for WPA specifically? [23:47] AMSITGuy: well, only to have decent security [23:47] So you can connect using WPA2? [23:47] AMSITGuy: yes [23:48] so how does WPA add additional security? [23:48] WPA2 is encryption [23:48] it says that only one package will be removed only 53.2kb... what about the rest programs? [23:48] AMSITGuy: im happy for it to stay as it is now, but it worries me that the drivers are a little shaky [23:48] Can anyone tell me how to get CCSM for Ubuntu 10.04?

[23:51] @Ken a lot of times hardware (not just wifi cards) aren't fully supported by the manufacturer so i falls to the developer of the driver to figure it out... it's possible that there is some kind of negotiation problem with that particular base station... it could be fixed in a future firmware.... or, it could be a bug that was introduced to the driver that you are using [23:52] hwo do I switch to root from the gui [23:52] not command line [23:52] hi [23:52] @Ken my intel pro wifi card REFUSED to connect to my linksys AP using WPA and TKIP, but works fine under my SonicWall [23:52] hello, I need some help configuring my monitors.
