[00:00] mindriot, but if I have XBMC set to my xsession then it would just try and start that [00:00] mindriot, how do I change my xsession manually [00:00] Um guys, does anyone know a fix for the bug where when you enable Compiz it makes your system alerts not work? [00:00] its-me-again1: one seck [00:00] its-me-again1: oowriter & [00:01] ow , its my first time using x chat [00:01] Hdale85, maybe XMBC would work that way, just worth an experiment [00:01] alireza: cool [00:01] thx [00:01] mindriot, I tried earlier and it didn't lol [00:01] otherwise, backup your .xsession and create a new one that contains just an xterm... [00:01] alireza: and how are you? [00:01] http://tinypic.com/r/mh7jwp/6 [00:01] is what it looks like [00:01] thnx [00:01] and u ? [00:02] I'm a former VisualBasic programmer (amateur) but I'd like to begin developing apps for Linux. What language and GUI interface creation software would be best (and relatively easiest) to learn? I've found a website that recommends Ruby and Glade, but I'd like more ideas. [00:02] mindriot, I just get a black screen no mouse even when I do startx [00:02] doormat81: I'd lean you towards python. [00:02] doormat81: python [00:02] doormat81: Ruby is ok, but Python is useaully recommend as a first [00:02] oh, i guess I got that wrong before, I thought you got a mouse cursor. [00:02] what kind of display? [00:03] !quickly | doormat81 [00:03] doormat81, Python is a good point to start with. [00:03] doormat81: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly [00:03] !info quickly | doormat81 [00:03] doormat81: quickly (source: quickly): build new apps quickly. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.4.2-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 38 kB, installed size 516 kB [00:03] check the X log for the mode it picked and whether your display is capable of handling it [00:03] Sm3gal: heh in a way at the pm about the image :D [00:03] doormat81: There are a lot of graphical kits available for python, ranging from QT to GTK to TK and even wxWidgets [00:03] its how it looks [00:03] Sm3gal: ok right yeah, if when you try to boot up Ubuntu and your getting something like that showing on the screen, then yes Plymouth crashed [00:03] if they display couldn't handle it the mouse cursor wouldn't show up when I first boot I don't think [00:03] h00k: Great minds think alike (and so do we:) [00:04] Jordan_U: horray! [00:04] but the display is the same as the old one regardless, but I'll check it ou [00:04] i thought plymouth was a car? [00:04] well how i fix it [00:04] Sm3gal: Plymouth is the name of the boot up that 10.04 uses [00:04] Sm3gal: you used to see the uhmm purple dots moving and such yes? [00:04] how i fix it [00:04] yes [00:05] emhs, see, I'm totally new to linux programming and not too familiar with qt, gtk, tk, etc. [00:05] emhs, I'm assuming I need to pick one to learn along with python in order to do anything useful? [00:05] Sm3gal: to fix this your going to need the recovery mode, or Live CD [00:06] Are nekoi [00:06] Help [00:06] ? [00:06] all i got is a karmac cd [00:06] Jordan_U: sorry I was trying to run the bootinfo script in Fedora but I don't know how to [00:06] Sm3gal: how long does the Grub boot loader show up on the computer for? if it even shows [00:06] i am using ubuntu netbook edition. how can i move the taskbar from top of the screen to bottom? [00:06] boko: help with? [00:06] and it just went to a black screen [00:06] I am HAPPY with UBUNTU [00:06] luka1: penels>properties [00:06] about 5 seconds [00:06] luka1: grab it while pressing the Alt key [00:06] can anyone help me get my Broadcom STA (restricted) driver working under linux-rt [00:06] Sm3gal: ok you got the list though? with the kernels and such showing? [00:06] mindriot, looks like it has auto mode select [00:06] it works in the regular kernel, but not under -rt [00:07] Jordan_U: and I didn't get any prev. msgs [00:07] no i gta get cd from brothers room [00:07] xangua: it doesn't work [00:07] and does anyone know where i can find the list of what software to remove from ubuntu to make it "ubuntu studio" [00:07] Is it possible to fdisk an internal SATA drive in a USB cradle? [00:07] acerimmer: where do i find panels? [00:07] i know what to add, but apparently there's stuff i should remove as well [00:07] luka1: right click on the panel you want to move [00:07] cheekee: Right now Fedora is controlling the boot menu, and not giving an option to boot Ubuntu. I am pretty sure that if you let Ubuntu controll the boot menu, it will give an option to boot fedora [00:07] Sm3gal: when the computer loads up I think its if you hold down esc [00:08] abstrakt: #ubuntustudio might know the exact packages [00:08] Sm3gal: Grub 2's boot menu will show up, if not already showing [00:08] I am happy with Ubuntu too. I only want to have the extra capability to triple or quadruble boot a PC with grub 2 [00:08] !dualboot [00:08] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:08] cheekee ^ [00:08] k [00:08] in recovery mode [00:09] <|corpse|> whats the best way to get windows media 9 decoder to work in unbuntu? [00:09] Sm3gal: yes you want recovery mode, thats the easiest way to try and fix [00:09] cheekee: Then follow this guide to install Ubuntu's grub2 to your mbr: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [00:09] there is a file to change the default xsession but I can't remember where it is.... I think maybe I just have an issue with XBMC [00:09] acerimmer: right-click options "remove from panel" "move" "lock to panel" are grayed out and can't click em [00:09] When I boot my computer, after grub, there is a considerably long blank screen before a quick purple ubuntu splash screen and then my desktop. Is this normal? [00:09] cheekee: It will work just the same from your fedora installation as it would if you were running in a liveCD [00:09] i got resume clean dpkg failsafe grub and netroot [00:09] cheekee: be aware that grub2 will fail if u have more than 4 primary partitions [00:09] what one [00:10] ahuang: I have the same thing, last from 5 to 15 seconds. I assume it is normal [00:10] Luka1: you're trying to move the panel itself, right? [00:10] acerimmer: It's impossible to have more than 4 primary partitions with an msdos partition table, and grub2 supports GPT just fine. [00:10] Jordan_U: sorry that is an old bootinfo...since then I used superdisk to update Ubuntu10 and it wrestled back control of the boot up from Fedora 13, while installing ne kernel [00:11] Hdale85, there might be a line in Xorg's log telling you which mode it's selected... not sure though since my systems typically have a manual setup [00:11] Sm3gal: I think if you remove the default plymouth theme, in the root prompt, and only keep the text boot theme, that it might work to boot up without crashing on the boot up screen [00:11] a new* [00:11] acerimmer: yes. the top bar [00:11] mindriot, I didn't see anything. I'm looking on the forums trying to find the default xsession file [00:11] i'm in term now [00:11] cheekee: Ok, can you run the boot info script again to give the current situation? [00:11] luka1: so you right click on the top bar and...what? [00:11] no graphical stuff [00:12] just termanal [00:12] Sm3gal: there are two themes by default [00:13] mindriot, I think you set it in the xorg.conf file [00:13] Hdale85, well if replacing ~/.xsession by typing something like "echo 'xterm' > ~/.xsession' doesn't come up anything, and you don't even get a mouse cursor, it makes me think that whatever resolution has been picked can't be handled by the screen [00:13] how do I remove envelope from indicator applet leaving only the volume regulator? [00:13] acerimmer: i right-click the top bar and the options i said above are grayed out and i can't use them [00:13] gryllida: as far as I know you can't, because they are linked together :( === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [00:13] luka1: just install a new panel and populate it with the apps you wish. Then delete the old panel. [00:14] gryllida: what seb said [00:14] acerimmer: ok. how do i install a new panel? [00:14] is there a local channel for ubuntu seattle,wa [00:14] hello> [00:14] ? [00:14] luka1: right click on the panel>New panel [00:14] mindriot, actually I'd imagine it should be in GDM === cMad_ is now known as cMad [00:14] Hi, I keep having a problem with my connection. I have a HSDPA dongle and now and then it drops out and I have to log out of ubuntu and log back in to get it to reconnect. Is there an easier way of doing this without having to log out? Thanks [00:15] InnerFIRE_: not specifically. sometimes #gslug members are on line. why (burien) [00:15] acerimmer: seb? where? [00:15] acerimmer: there is no option new panel [00:15] InnerFIRE_: You may want to check out your LoCo [00:15] !loco | InnerFIRE_ [00:15] InnerFIRE_: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [00:15] acerimmer: ah ok [00:15] Hdale85, maybe you can put your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log on pastebin? [00:15] luka1: sounds like your're panels are locked down. Do you maybe have Ubuntu Tweak in your Applications>System Tools [00:16] Sm3gal: well ou should have logo and text installed at the moment [00:16] mindriot, I can do that [00:16] someone just send me to the channel.. so its there [00:16] i just forgot what it was [00:16] mindriot, where is the xorg.conf located again? [00:16] Jordan_U I'm really sorry, but I don't know the instructions to run the bootinfo script in Fedora either as root or as user....I have tried for about 5 mins but nothing seems to work [00:16] InnerFIRE_: #ubuntu-us-wa [00:16] luka1: are you on the Netbook Edition? [00:16] only 1 person there.. was more earlier [00:16] ill ty [00:17] cheekee: I thought you were booted into Ubuntu right now? [00:17] I have to SSH into the HTPC, I have no net on it currently lol [00:17] acerimmer, luka1: The panel is locked to the top on the Netbook Edition [00:17] Um guys, does anyone know a fix for the bug where when you enable Compiz it makes your system alerts not work? [00:17] Hdale85, /etc/X11 [00:17] InnerFIRE_: more people will be at #ubuntu [00:17] h00k i see [00:17] hey guys what do u think abt xmonad is it really tht awesome [00:17] h00k: for the win! I just learned something new. Thanx [00:17] h00k so theres no way to move it down bottom screen? [00:17] acerimmer: No problem [00:17] Jordan_U No I use the supergrubdisk to boot into Fedora [00:17] used* [00:18] luka1: hang on, lemme look [00:18] k [00:18] luka1: it's what I'm using at the moment [00:18] acerimmer.. nobody helps in #ubuntu. just ignore request. i have a computer sound issue. no sound [00:18] mindriot, ah crap...that's not going to work. I have my wireless on here connected to my iphone for net lol [00:18] mindriot, give me like 10 min, I'll get off the iphone and connect to my router [00:18] ok [00:18] Sm3gal: I guess if you do apt-get install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text it will say both are installed === pepee_ is now known as pepee [00:19] is there a way to show joins/parts/quits in another window not in the channel window - i'm using pidgin [00:20] cheekee: Ok, to run the boot info script from fedora run: su -c "bash /path/to/bootinfoscript.sh" [00:20] luka1: there is a plugin to hide them, about other window I don't know [00:20] thanks [00:20] luka1: I've found: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR#Look%20&%20Feel [00:21] luka1: just be careful in gconf! [00:21] h00k :) thanks [00:21] Um guys, does anyone know a fix for the bug where when you enable Compiz it makes your system alerts not work? [00:21] <|corpse|> has anyone gotten windows media codec 9 to work? [00:21] Sm3gal: ok fine in reply to the pm, just re install the OS then, if apparantly can't apt-get like that, since a wireless password [00:22] InnerFIRE_: doesn't mean they're ignoring. All volunteers here and maybe no one had the answer. But with 1500 online, at some point, someone probably will know. Hang around. RE-ask every 10 minutes or so [00:22] acerimmer: thanks [00:22] luka1: fixed? [00:22] acerimmer: not yet but i've got reading to do :) [00:22] Hi all! Is it possible to convert a partition into a virtual machine disk file? [00:22] dsnyders: some how yeah [00:23] dsnyders: well for Virtualbox some how not sure how maybe can find that one out in #vbox for VMware well theres VMware convert which can convert a pshyical Windows install into a virtual machine, but last time I tried it [00:23] dsnyders: it was the size of the partition :( [00:24] dsnyders: VMware converter above [00:24] sebsebseb, Thanks for the pointers. I suppose I could do a partition resize before attempting a conversion. [00:24] dsnyders_:yes...! [00:24] ok that didn't work lol [00:24] dsnyders:yes...! [00:25] forgot.....network-manager hates WPA [00:26] Hdale85: works ok here [00:26] !virtual [00:26] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [00:26] Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010 [00:26] ============================= Boot Info Summary: ============================== [00:26] => Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in [00:26] partition #5 for /boot/grub.

I read some webpages and tried VMware converter about a year or two ago or something. Why not just do a clean install though of Windows, which is what I assume your [00:26] wanting to vm. [00:27] 睡在这里 [00:27] one quick question. If youHm, does updating from ext3 to ext4 can give full set of new ext4 features after turning them on? [00:27] 会说中文的出来几个 [00:27] sebsebseb, I have some software on the windows partition that I would like to keep, but for which I no longer have the installation media. [00:27] !cn | wangjinfeng [00:27] wangjinfeng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:27] And if not turned on, is ext4 slower without them? [00:27] dsnyders: oh right ok [00:28] dsnyders: there is even a way to boot up a pshyicall install of Windows in virtual machine software, but I do not know the details [00:28] sebsebseb, If it were not for that, I'd wipe and reinstall in a heartbeat. [00:30] nikolam: I don't know the answer, but take a look at https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 and maybe you can come back and tell me... === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower === Cain` is now known as Cain [00:32] nikolam: I woudn't bother converting Ext3 to Ext4 if I was you, 1. you won't get the proper thing. 2. maybe 10.10, but if not 11.04 I expect, and there will be stable btfs support :) [00:32] guys.. [00:32] how do I create a regular port 21 ftp account to a directory on my ubuntu web server? [00:33] !ftp [00:33] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [00:33] nikolam: disk checking will be faster the auotmatic boot up disk checking with Ext4 after so many boots, but other then that, you probably woudn't notice much difference, when it comes to Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 [00:33] !ftpd [00:33] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [00:34] nikolam: actually. I agree with sebsebseb. Not worth the bother of converting, the difference will probably be unnoticeable... [00:34] nikolam: yeah exactly not really worth the hassle [00:34] Hey folks--trying to make a bootable writeable USB flash drive, but the tool has the "reserved space" bit greyed out. It's a 4gb drive, any ideas on how to fix this? [00:35] Um guys, does anyone know a fix for the bug where when you enable Compiz it makes your system alerts not work? === ^cheeky_ is now known as ^cheeky [00:36] please. [00:36] dsnyders: did u understand my problem [00:37] anyone have Ubuntu running in VMware, with a Windows host OS, and -is- able to copy and paste between Ubuntu and Windows [as VMware Tools is installed] ? [00:37] i havent been able to copy/paste [00:37] linu-, I thought I did, but then a question came to mind. Do you want an ftp server, or do you want your web server to show the contents of the directory as a web page? [00:38] ToeKutter have you attempted to repair it, at any point ? [00:38] nope [00:38] its a bit frustrating, as it seems like something that should simply work, out of the box [00:38] could try vmtools again [00:38] all I want is to be able to connect to my web server on port 21, right now it only works on port 22 [00:38] its related to vmware tools, thats for sure [00:38] what is a good text to speech application? [00:39] linu-, what are you connecting with? [00:39] i even changed versions of VMware, to see if thats an issue, with the same results [00:39] profxavier: if you do Windows inside a Linux distro, you get a bit of a security advantage even :) since you know vms are just treated like normal data files yeah? So if you get a virus or whatever in Windows vm, just easily delete it, or easily use a clean copy. Most people that come here that do vm's use Virtualbox it seems. and #vmware is probably a good channel for your issue [00:39] i wonder if it has to do with 64bit Ubuntu? [00:39] I want to connect with wordpress and wp only allows port 21 [00:39] sebsebseb I don't get viruses :D [00:39] Oh my god, did I just get the nvidia proprietary driver working on my GeForce4 420 Go laptop [00:40] i run 32bit, still a no go [00:40] cheekee: Can you use pastebin to give a link to the boot info script output? (do *not* paste it into the channel) [00:40] * Callum__ ^_^ [00:40] grats Callum__ [00:40] last time I tried vibox, it crashed, when running on Windows [00:40] Is there any subversion gui from which I can directly compile and update source code from the svn?

[00:42] yes so? [00:42] is mssql possible to install under ubuntu [00:43] !mysql|kr3w [00:43] kr3w: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:43] kr3w: hrm [00:43] kr3w: maybe in Wine [00:43] linu-, what are you using for a server, and what are you using for a client? [00:43] kr3w: however in a Windows virtual machine sure [00:43] kr3w: why do you want the Microsoft version though? [00:43] acerimmer: i said mssql not mysql, i know about mysql already [00:43] :~ [00:44] trism, Riviera , my goal is that variable called MYVAR will be executed later do you guys think I can do it [00:44] sebsebseb: because i have applications that only work under mssql [00:44] kr3w: oh :( [00:44] trism, Riviera , right now as a string is printing the command that I would like to execute [00:44] webBuilder: oh wait, nm, didn't notice the variable expansion, nm [00:44] unfortunately, there isn't a linux solution for EVERYTHING, regardless of how much i'd like that [00:44] fuck ubuntu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[00:48] sebsebseb: yes [00:48] cheekee: Whatever you put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom will be added verbatum into your grub.cfg [00:49] Can anyone recommend a good book for beginning programming in Linux (with the goal of creating GUI apps)? [00:49] doormat81, what language? [00:49] ok remove the echo [00:49] doormat81: check appress.com [00:49] sebsebseb: how can i recover my passqword? [00:49] server is apache, client should not matter right? I just want to be able to connect on port 21 regular ftp [00:50] Question: I had guest addition previously installed on previous XP installation on Virtual Box. I reinstall XP and when I reinstall Guest Addition, it says 'Unable to mount the CD/DVD image /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso onthe machine Window XP'. How can I do that? [00:50] sebsebseb: password i mean [00:50] jon_: ok go to the recovery mode, get the root prompt, do passwd username,and put in a new password, and I would do letters and numbers and at least and 8 characters long, so that it is reasoanbly secure [00:50] codebrainz, I'm guessing that Python would be easiest and most useful to learn. [00:50] how do i mark the setup.exe in a mounted CD to be executable [00:50] sebsebseb: Ok i'll do that [00:50] jon_: longer the better I guess, and with stuff like $ % £ ^ ,but then harder to remember and such [00:50] linu-, I don't know if apache can act as an ftp server. [00:50] doormat81, i would like to learn C first if i could do it again, but most people would agree with python [00:51] ok, nevermind then [00:51] doormat81, the O'Reilly Learning Python and Programming Python books by MArk Lutz are good [00:51] jon__: username being your account username, maybe that wasn't clear enough [00:51] linu-, you might try asking at #apache [00:51] jon_ [00:51] does anyone else have the same issue with the panel items moving themselves around? [00:51] <|corpse|> When trying to watch some newer movies off of my fileserver i get an error saying it can not play windows media 9 audio. i have tryed running the videos in VLC player and movie player all with the same error. Is there any way to get win media 9 audio working? or should i convert the wmv to a diferent format> [00:51] codebrainz, and they focus on GUI apps as well? I don't have much desire to create CL programs. [00:51] anyone? [00:52] marking setup file in a mounted CD as executable? [00:52] OK, so, I can't set my monitor to anything higher than 640x480, which is lower than the minimum resolution it can be set to on another computer. Can someone help me out? And if you're going to link to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution walk me though it cause it hasn't helped me any so far. [00:52] doormat81, not soo much, a little Tkinter, but there's tons and tons of gold info on the web about gtk and qt and wx and all the other ui stuff [00:52] |corpse|, it should be only a matter of the correct codec [00:52] Um guys, does anyone know a fix for the bug where when you enable Compiz it makes your system alerts not work? [00:52] so, ext4 is good for transactions and generally faster then ext3 everywhere, but SqLite test. btrfs is great for many users and random writes scenario. Loshki , sebsebseb [00:52] linu-, google shows there is an apache module for providing ftp protocol support. === alema0ff is now known as alema0 [00:52] isn't there a vb like program out there for linux that would do gui apps? (Don't kill me for bring up vb) [00:53] oh nice, ill ask in httpd [00:53] holocene, yep, don't remember the name off the top of my head though [00:53] hey guys... I have a fellow in #compiz complaining that alert sounds are turned off when enabling compiz... had anyone heard of this bug ?? [00:53] thanks! [00:53] nikolam: I also took a quick look. Ext4 specs are superior, no surprise there. But the question remains whether you would actually *notice* the change. If you _do_ decide to upgrade, I think many people would be interested in your before and after numbers. NOTE: to continue this discussion, let's move it to #ubuntu-offtopic... [00:53] codebrainz, I guess what I'm trying to understand is this: python is the language, but in order to do anything useful from a GUI standpoint, I'd need to learn another system, either gtk, qt, etc? [00:53] nikolam: btfs is not stable yet [00:53] kr3w: Not currently possible AFAIK. "wine /path/to/foo.exe" should work though. [00:53] Riviera, I have posted my small call on pestbin site if there any one who wants to look at it and make changes in order to execute my command that convert from cvs to svn will be really cool [00:53] holocene, gambas or mono (vb6 or vb.NET) [00:53] thank you [00:53] nikolam: it will become the default file system in Ubuntu maybe in 10.10, but probably 11.04 if not [00:53] holocene there is a program that will tie into pyton, i cant remember the name, but you write the program, then layout the gui portion in that prog (which is gui itself) [00:53] here is the file [00:53] http://pastebin.com/gKC47jhg [00:53] webBuilder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:53] <|corpse|> Zelozelos: i have googled for quite a wile and i can not find a working fix. i have downloaded all of the codecs that i can from the repository and installed the codec via winetricks but still no luck [00:53] How do I install a .run file? [00:53] FloodBot1, forgive me [00:53] sebsebseb, yup, btrfs is not production ready [00:53] !panel [00:54] nikolam: and its meant to be pretty good when ready as well, much better than Ext4 and so on [00:54] !panels [00:54] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:54] zelozelos: so event driven, huh? [00:54] or Catalyst 10.5 for that matter. [00:54] doormat81, python is the language, the UI toolkit is a library/API you program against to get the GUI [00:54] |corpse|, r u playing the wmv using a wine app? if so thats prob the source of the issue [00:54] yup [00:54] nikolam: Ext4 is good for transactions? [00:54] holocene, yup [00:54] holocene, , Zelozelos, Glade? [00:55] <|corpse|> Zelozelos: no, not using any wine [00:55] codebrainz, got it. And python works with qt4 designer and Glade? [00:55] codebrainz, umm, yup i think thats it, glade ;) [00:55] hey [00:55] nikolam: SqLite? you meant Sqlite? thats a database [00:55] doormat81, yep, you load the glade file in your python script and use the widgets [00:55] kr3w: you'll need to mount the CD manually with "mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -t iso9660 -o mode=0555", if you are using wine you can just do something like: wine 'D:\setup.exe' [00:55] aww okay [00:55] sebsebseb, i compared current state of it to zfs and.. not there yet.. for some years. Someone told soem days ago, there is Zfs kernel module project for Linux kernel (there is also zfs-fuse that works) [00:55] thanks [00:55] codebrainz, okay, thank you. I'm afraid I've been pampered by VisualBasic and have a lot to learn about REAL programming :) [00:56] nikolam: yes BTFS is meant to be instead of ZFS [00:56] sebner, yes, look at those charts. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_netbook_fs&num=1 [00:56] doormat81, not sure python is "real" programming, but it's super slick and easy, and a hell of a lot cleaner than VB :) [00:56] Hello, what is the latest version of Ubuntu that uses the ieee80211 wireless drivers? [00:56] |corpse|, the only thing i can think of is uninstall all the codecs, and try n play the wmv w the movie player, it should say "heay you need this codec" n get it for u [00:56] sebsebseb: As awesome as it would be, I see almost no chance of btrfs by default in 10.10, and I don't have high hopes for even 11.04 :( [00:56] do u guys know what kind of problem this errror might b pointin at?: suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug) [00:56] I'd really rather not waste everyone's time by posting my question repeatedly to thepoint that nobody reads what I say. [00:56] im gettin it while tryin to hibernate with s2disk [00:56] codebrainz and doormat81: noob here but to me cli and shell essential skills. [00:56] hi [00:57] <|corpse|> Zelozelos: it does that now, but it can not find a package for it in the rep [00:57] How do I create a installfile in ubuntu like bin.tar.bz2? [00:57] codebrainz, are there certain things that Python just can't do? I have a very specific, rather extensive application I'm planning on developing eventually. [00:57] no [00:57] Jordan_U: well the file system guy, put the message out about maybe in 10.10. Not in 11.04 either? Ok to be honest I don't know that much about that file system yet. I guess its got quite a while to go yet though, before most distros are using it as the default instead of Ext4. A year or so? [00:57] |corpse|, then that would prob mean that there is no win 9 support in ubuntu, somehow that wouldnt supprise me, since it is from u know who [00:58] <|corpse|> Zelozelos: yeah, i just figured somone would have it working by now [00:58] |corpse|, try w32codecs package [00:58] doormat81, except for tight-timing, or extreme execution speed, python is pretty cabable. describe your idea and i'll tell you if python can do it best. === alema0 is now known as alema0ff [00:58] maybe a stupid question, but is there a program for *nix that can handle an iPhone/iPod Touch like iTunes? [00:58] cyborgsmurf: these are diffrent packaging-formats, a installfile would be a deb-file (for ubuntu) [00:58] python is not typed, right? [00:58] SpazStatic: it's considered good form (in this channel) to repeat a question about once every 15 minutes until you get a solution (or give up).... [00:59] cyborgsmurf: man tar (enter this in terminal) [00:59] holocene, it's dynamically typed i guess is the term, it has typing [00:59] <|corpse|> Daekdroom: i have but i cannot seem to find the file. I read that it is sudo apt-get w32codecs but i get Unable to find package [00:59] DasEi : so unless there isn't a deb-file no use in trying? [00:59] Loshki: Yeah, I know. You don't happen to remember me from a month or so ago with the major sound issues? [00:59] codebrainz: then C is not dynamically typed? [00:59] codebrainz, can't get too detailed with the idea, but I need to integrate a large database, output parts of the program to an external display (tv), and include a audio/video player (also able to output to a tv). [00:59] sebsebseb: It's mostly https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas that has me doubting it will be ready for 10.10. I just remembered that meego is already using it by default though, so maybe 11.04 is more likely than I first thought. [01:00] Loshki: name was probably Spaztic_One if not this [01:00] !medibuntu > |corpse| [01:00] |corpse|, please see my private message [01:00] holocene, C is most definitively not. [01:00] webBuilder: http://pastebin.com/x8X3vDi7 [01:00] SpazStatic: my memory isn't best :-). Did we solve it? [01:00] cyborgsmurf: you can install software in diffrent ways, deb is most commmon, or you compile it from source (advanced), from a tarball, see: [01:00] doormat81, python + gtk + gstreamer (For video output, a/v player)... you're all set [01:00] !compile [01:00] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:00] <|corpse|> Daekdroom: ty [01:00] codebrainz, excellent. Thank you [01:01] codebrainz: is python a better overall choice than Ruby? [01:01] Loshki: no, not really. But we unbroke it from when we did try and fix it and it all went to crap... and I think it was a little better as well. =) [01:01] DasEi : so I need to make like setup-file myself? [01:01] holocene, i like to think so, but i don't/haven't used ruby [01:01] what is the latest version of Ubuntu that uses the ieee stack drivers? [01:01] hello, im try to make a shell script to backup db, and $DBPATH is a variable, so how can i run it, pg_dump -U waterfind $DBNAME | gzip -c > $DBPATH gives me an error. === usuario-master_ is now known as pupo [01:01] holocene, i'd say python's syntax is cleaner, but beyond that i can't comment === thibow is now known as thb|Ou7 [01:02] maybe a stupid question, but is there a program for *nix that can handle an iPhone/iPod Touch like iTunes? [01:02] codebrainz: clean syntax means a lot! [01:02] Jordan_U: I guess we gone a bit off topic, but heres the message about maybe having it in 10.10 by default, from Ubuntu file system guy. http://www.netsplit.com/2010/05/14/btrfs-by-default-in-maverick/ [01:02] cyborgsmurf: I'm no geek ath this, you can either do a install-script, create a tarball or a deb-file, like in help of debbuilde [01:02] r* [01:02] codebrainz, I've been considering getting back into doing a little programming myself, and python has been recommended to me as well. How easy is it to create a window and do some graphics (eg line (x1,y1, x2,y2,color) or plot (x,y,color))? [01:02] codebrainz : thanks [01:02] dsnyders: very [01:03] SpazStatic: sound really is still a problem in most linuxes unfortunately... [01:03] dark1 just a guess but try pg_dump -U waterfind $DBNAME && gzip -c > $DBPATH [01:03] dsnyders, it's relative, but easy I'd say. what lang(s) do you know [01:03] i accidentally deleted the "internet" menu on my gnome launcher...wat do? [01:03] Loshki: Yeah, I know. It's not bugging me that much currently. [01:03] DasEi : I was a windowz-user for like 16 years... but linux is more fun :) [01:04] cyborgsmurf: what do you want to set up ? [01:04] how long u been using linux for cyborg? [01:04] dsnyders: for animation-like things look into pygame, for basic image manipulation into PIL, for GUI things into bindings for your favourite toolkit [01:04] anyone got any quick links to recover a 2 disk raid 0 set? they were part of an external disk set - WDG2T10000N [01:04] stairmast0r: whilst editing the menus yourself or? [01:04] the enclosure died and the hdds are still fine via smartctl [01:04] codebrainz, I took c, fortran, pascal, cobol, etch back in my university days. I learned basic on my own. However, this was back in the days when basic had line numbers. [01:05] Riviera, Could you point me to a tutorial? [01:05] Zelozelos. not good, it prnting the db to screen [01:05] dark1: have you tried typing that stuff into the shell first before running it from a script? [01:05] DasEi : its a mod from Glest (a 3D strategic-game for linux) [01:05] thats what i did [01:06] dsnyders, shouldn't be much trouble then. Check out PyGTK + Cairo + PyGame(SDL) on google. all well documented [01:06] dark1, heh, maybe its a piece of the puzzle idk, it was just a guess i only knew that you could join commands w && the | dont work [01:06] dsnyders: I guess everything I know is very dated, google would seriously reveal better results [01:06] codebrainz, I'd be more or less starting from scratch. [01:06] any other ideas :P [01:06] hi there, does some1 know a lightweight musicplayer with good music libary management? i really like amarok, but it's too heavy... [01:06] dsnyders, well if you remember the basic constructs of program, you've skipped a good month of learning :) [01:06] dark1: according to my man page, if you want gzip to act as a filter, you have to use the '-' filename... [01:06] cyborgsmurf: so steps will be to compile it from source succesful first and then make a deb from it, which automates the dependency-check and the install-routine [01:07] What's the right way to get postgresql running from a different cluster location? [01:07] so i cant define it as variable :( [01:07] Anyone knows a goood way to reduce the CPU usage? Firefox is always consuming 25% in Ubuntu, in Windows XP its only consuming 1%. [01:07] buppa_, stop using flash :) [01:07] Benkinooby, well, rythmbox is good dats what i use [01:07] DasEi: it seems Im the non-geek ;) [01:07] codebrainz, i dont .. [01:08] codebrainz, flash is uninstalled [01:08] maybe a stupid question, but is there a program for *nix that can handle an iPhone/iPod Touch like iTunes? [01:08] buppa_: check the cache size [01:08] kr3w, how? [01:08] buppa_, does it really matter? is anything else using the CPU? [01:08] dark1: um, try this: pg_dump -U waterfind $DBNAME | gzip -c - > $DBPATH [01:08] sebsebseb: yea..i was going too fast and accidentally hit delete on it [01:08] buppa_: its somewhere in the options, i don't have ff on ubuntu but i know there is something somewhere [01:08] Loshki : okie [01:08] dark1: note the added '-' argument.... [01:08] stairmast0r: ok I think this will add it back, or I guess you can yourself in the menu editor [01:08] !panels | stairmast0r [01:08] stairmast0r: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:09] kr3w, i have browser.cache.disk.enable set to false [01:09] FrozenInferno: tried googling? [01:09] buppa_: try edit > preferences then look for something related. [01:09] cyborgsmurf: as said, I'm pressed by some other stuff in recent times, but for a startup do a compile froma known good app, then try to do the same for that game , then look into tools for building debs [01:09] SpazStatic: welcome back anyway. Got a ubuntu question for us? [01:09] buppa_: try going to a really simple website then see what happens to CPU usage compared to another site [01:09] dsnyders: no worries, playing around with python shouldn't be wasted time (even considering the large amount of other decent programming languages), a good starting point might be http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide but #python surely knows best :) [01:09] ubottu: are you a bot or a human..? [01:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:09] ubottu: YOURE A DUMB ASS MOTHERFUCKER [01:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:09] :3 [01:09] pardon my language [01:10] stairmast0r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:10] DasEi: Im going to check this website out... (I wont be reading for a while, so pls dont type anything important) [01:10] !brain | stairmast0r [01:10] stairmast0r: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [01:10] WHOO, fixed the resolution, I never thought I would get this to work properly [01:10] cyborgsmurf: fine [01:10] only problem is, where the hell are the GNOME panels [01:10] abadr: yeah, i found some stuff, it was just a few pages past where i stopped. [01:10] !language | stairmast0r [01:10] sebsebseb: i don't want to reset them to the default, because then i'll lose my later added launchers, wouldn't i? [01:10] stairmast0r: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:10] DasEi: you are too far away in knowledge... I dont udnerstand it all [01:10] Zelozelos: thx [01:10] bbl [01:10] FrozenInferno: it looks like Banshee is what you want [01:10] stairmast0r: such language isn't used on this channel, even if you say 'pardon my language' afterwards... [01:10] stairmast0r: yeah [01:11] Riviera, codebrainz, true enough. function calls, basic loop structures, conditional statements are all going to be familiar. It's the syntax and the command vocabulary that will be the main struggles. That and windowing. Back when I last did programming, it was on an Atari 600XL. [01:11] Loshki : $DBPATH: ambiguous redirect :( [01:11] okay, my GNOME panels are gone and I have no idea how to get them back. [01:11] how do i restore the wine application after deleting it from menu [01:11] sebsebseb: that's the problem..i need my other launchers back as well [01:11] Riviera, Thanks for the link and the channel reference. [01:11] dark1: what does echo $DBPATH say? [01:11] stairmast0r: system > preferences > main menu [01:11] re-installing the application doesn't bring it back for sure [01:12] stairmast0r: or maybe a little different on Ubuntu, using another distro at the moment :) [01:12] abadr: ok, i'll give it a shot. i also saw gtkpod, rhythmbox, and amarok as viable options. i'll play around and see what i can do. thanks [01:12] sebsebseb: i know, i was in there when i deleted it [01:12] Callum__, Alt+F2 then type 'gnome-panel' [01:12] stairmast0r: and thats how you can add it back [01:12] dsnyders: have fun & good luck :) [01:12] sebsebseb: except i don't remember what all was on there before :/ [01:13] Loshki : /home/WF/yalo/dbbackup/backup.wf-dev2.10.06.08- 9.42.gz [01:13] sebsebseb: is there a way to back it up before i reset it? [01:13] I'm on UNE and need to flash my bios - how can I do this with a USB??? [01:13] Callum__, Alt+F2 then type 'gnome-panel' - yeah, that worked, but will it stay? let's see... [01:13] sebsebseb: then i could copy what was on the reset one to the good one [01:13] dark1: is that even a legal filename? there's a unescaped space in it.... [01:13] stairmast0r: also I didn't know bots could cry untill you offended ubottu a little while ago. anyway uhmm easy to add stuff back with menu editor, and you don't need most of the stuff on the menus really [01:14] after log-out it disappears... [01:14] uh oh let me try again [01:14] sebsebseb: could i get them back by reinstalling the software that was on it? [01:14] sebsebseb: and will reinstalling firefox get rid of my addons? [01:14] I have to killall gnome-panel to get it to show... [01:14] stairmast0r: no it won't, since thats stored in the hidden .mozilla folder in Home [01:14] every time it logs in [01:14] stairmast0r: so yeah re installing the apps is one way [01:15] Callum__, i don't use gnome, but i think it has a gui to set startup programs, you could put it in there. [01:15] stairmast0r: or I guess re install Firefox and it will put Internet menu back [01:15] sebsebseb: i think i'll go with that. do you have a mostly stock menu that you could list the apps from? [01:15] stairmast0r: you can see what you have installed in the software centre even [01:17] yeah, anyone know how to mount a raid0 set from just the two hdds of a dead external enclosure? [01:17] can someone tell me how to change my username in ubuntu? [01:17] Callum__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/542343 [01:17] Loshki : thanks , its a path issue :( [01:18] sebsebseb: reinstalling didn't help... [01:18] dark1: yeah, figures :-) [01:18] stairmast0r: Running another distro at the moment :) which is also running Gnome, so the menus are quite similar, but not quite. I don't feel like loading up Ubuntu in a virtual machine to tell you what kind of stuff you should have in the menus, but there are plenty of other people here, who could tell you what should be in the menus. [01:18] im using TODAY=$(date +"%y.%m.%d-%k.%M") to get the time stamp on path, thats where the space come from, anyway to take it out [01:18] stairmast0r: altough your installed, well I guess what software says is isntalled, you should also be able to access from menus [01:18] jon_: I see lots of hits on google. Try this one for starters: http://www.ehow.com/how_5924282_change-user-name-ubuntu.html [01:19] may be 24h time ? [01:19] I have just plugged a flash drive in, and am trying to unmount it using "sudo unmount /dev/sdXXX" How can I tell what letter I need to replace XXX with? [01:19] qaa:you got to mount them, then use mdadm, though if hd' s are fine, just connecting them should do it (fstab) [01:19] the author of a post I'm following says to use fdisk -l, but it doesn't show anything [01:19] stairmast0r: what software centre says you have installed, should be in the menus as well I guess [01:20] aurilliance, type 'mount' [01:20] aurilliance: sudo fdisk -l [01:20] i have a microsoft lifecam. the video works great but for some reason, the mic on it does not work at all. what could be the problem? it works under windows perfectly... [01:20] aurilliance, as root it will list the drives, but not where they are mounted [01:20] codebrainz, DasEi thanks both [01:20] np [01:21] Loshki: thank you [01:21] belal1, what software are you using with it? === Nijverheid is now known as Guest86208 [01:21] Hi, anyone know how to play 720p .mkv on an acer aspire one net book? I used this method on XP http://www.infobarrel.com/How_to_watch_720p_mkv_x264_movies_on_an_Acer_Aspire_One_Windows_XP_Netbook and it worked like a charm but cant find a linux equivilant [01:21] i'm using empathy. but i also tried using sound recorder.

[01:22] !sound | belal1 Check your input device is not muted [01:22] belal1 Check your input device is not muted: 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. [01:22] mfpcokets: I think vlc plays them [01:22] DasEi: i am guessing it was a hw raid set, not really sure how WD set them up [01:22] for some reason the numpad on my laptop activates randomly. after some varying time interval, my keyboard layout will change so that the keys on my right hand (890uiojklm) produce numbers rather than letters. setting the keyboard layout with setxkbmap fixes the problem until it happens again. can anyone offer an opinion on what might cause this? [01:22] mfpcokets: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc [01:22] thanks guys, i'm going to check out those links. it's not muted though, i've checked. [01:22] DasEi, it does but im loosing lots of frames [01:22] belal1, happen to have a lifecam sitting here, let me try [01:23] :) thanks [01:23] qaa: if enclosure is broken, how do you connect the hd's now ? [01:23] belal1: was that the issue? [01:23] DasEi: i ripped them out of the enclosure and they are now connected to my working sata card. [01:23] belal1: well thats good the web cam works :) in the future its a good idea to buy hardware that you know is supported by the manufacture when it comes to Linux :) [01:23] Loshki: Yeah, monitor problems. Comp thinks that the max resolution is 640x480, which is below the minimum reported res on other computers (800x600). === matthew is now known as Guest22728 [01:24] DasEi, thanks, ill try that [01:24] IdleOne: i don't know the issue. i suspected it was first muted, but that wasn't the case. I tried switching settings under sound preferences but they all failed. [01:25] qaa: so you have one hd running ubu now and the two hd's connected to same sys ? [01:25] sebsebseb: Yeah, your right. Though to my defence I was just converting a windows xp system to Lucid.... [01:25] DasEi: they are two 500 gb disks, disk one shows one partition that is 1TB in space, where disk 2 shows no partitions. both have a perfect log in smartctl. [01:25] belal1, yea my lifecam "cinema" works perfect, A and V [01:25] SpazStatic: it's a new hardware setup? [01:25] DasEi: i have them both connected to the system running a live CD. [01:25] hi there... does the ubuntu livecd have support for experimental BTRFS? [01:25] sebsebseb, lifecam's ARE supposed to be supported, at least by v4l2 [01:25] belal1: yeah and Microsoft don't like Linux much [01:25] qaa: so you are fine then in raid 0 (striped) [01:25] hi, i removed all the kde from my kubuntu and installed fluxbox and lubuntu (lxde)... now i experience some issues with graphic performance... when there are many windows open, moving windows is very slow... the laptop itself is still fast... i chekced /etc/X11 and found out, that i only have a xorg.conf.failsafe but no xorg.conf... how can i mkae up/generate a new xorg file... or is there an other way recommended? [01:26] codebrainz: I'm in the market for a cam. What model would you recommend? [01:26] Loshki: everything is the same except that I am now on Linx, and the monitor is different than the previous one. [01:26] 0 [01:26] Q: Using MPD (local) with an Ario client. Arios folder view only displays folders with names starting with an escalamation mark. Any ideas what might cause this? [01:26] codebrainz: hmm.... thanks for checking it out. I'm going to look over the links. I probably have something conflicting. Just trying to figure out what. [01:26] !panels [01:26] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [01:26] DasEi: yeah well if i just mount the one disk and try to list its contents it doesnt work as expected, dont really know how to mount them and tell the system it was a raid set [01:26] Hello [01:26] Benkinooby: Xorg is not needed anymore, but if you have an xorg with options, it will read and use the settings from that [01:27] !resolution | SpazStatic [01:27] SpazStatic: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[01:27] tomas_90: Good day. Having grub2 problems? [01:27] quaa: This is the problem with what is sold as "hardware" raid in desktop systems, you don't get any performance improvement since it's all still done with the CPU and you get the downside of proprietary metadata formats making arrays hard to recover [01:27] HI [01:27] h00k, no xorg anymore? what relpaces it? [01:27] hi [01:27] Loshki: Been given that 3 times before, not counting this one, or the time that I found the wiki page before I got on IRC. [01:28] Benkinooby: settings are autodetected [01:28] hi i have question [01:28] how to install nvidia [01:28] !vidia | phong_ [01:28] i remember presss ctrl === log|SC|convition is now known as log|in [01:28] !nvidia | phong_ [01:28] phong_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:28] Hello [01:28] phong_: antyhing in [01:28] brb [01:28] codebrainz: googling it now... [01:28] qaa: sudo fdisk -l gives ? [01:28] phong_: system > administration > hardware drivers for it? [01:28] Loshki: However, i'm not a very well versed Linux user. Perhaps if you were to lead me along while going through it? [01:28] help I need webcam, some soft? [01:28] sebsebseb, i want to install myself....not thru system [01:28] Loshki, 720/hd and good audio [01:28] I have a fresh install of ubuntu, it doesnt load grum (just blinking cursor). I have a software raid. [01:29] i remembger i did it before [01:29] sebsebseb: resetting it just reset the panels, not the "gnome custom menu" [01:29] grum [01:29] igrub [01:29] for some reason the numpad on my laptop activates randomly. after some varying time interval, my keyboard layout will change so that the keys on my right hand (890uiojklm) produce numbers rather than letters. setting the keyboard layout with setxkbmap fixes the problem until it happens again. can anyone offer an opinion on what might cause this? [01:29] phong_: you should install from the repo only really, unless you really have to get from them, since when you install from them, you are likely to get problems [01:29] it's like log off and terminate the graphic thing then install with .run [01:29] SpazStatic: sounds like you need expert help. You need to put all stuff we've mentioned above into a single query and post it here every 15 minutes until Someone Who Knows shows up... [01:30] Jordan_U: i agree. this is an external my cuz bought and asked me to look at it to see if it was recoverable. buying a external multidisk set is dumb imo [01:30] starcoder|Q: menu editor just uhmm go through that, and add stuff you want I guess [01:30] I have a fresh install of ubuntu, it doesnt load grub (just blinking cursor). I have a software raid. [01:30] Loshki: I think its that I'm not entirely sure what all of the xrand and various things within the command are, or how to use them properly. I kind of get lost. [01:30] sjokkis: I can't even offer an *explanation* of why it happens. An obscure X server bug? [01:30] jon1: not sure if this is helpful, but [01:30] !raid | jon1 [01:30] jon1: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:31] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/bnxG5QZn [01:32] h00k, i allrdy had a look at this [01:32] i use a intel integrateed graca [01:32] #ubuntu-es [01:32] the raid was created through the installer [01:33] SpazStatic: Hmm. I just looked at the man page, xrandr *is* a complex beastie... [01:33] Loshki: Yeah, have you any experience with it? [01:33] SpazStatic: none at all :-) [01:33] When executing "sudo mount /dev/sdb ~/temp" I get the message "mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /home/aaron/temp busy" [01:33] Hello, how solve ubuntu's boot proble: dev/x/y no yet installed press to skip o m to manual mounting? [01:34] quaa: Have you installed the "dmraid" package? [01:34] I've umount ed /dev/sdb - how can I check if "temp" is busy? [01:34] Loshki: So you wouldn't be likely to help me understand what its talking about, would you? [01:34] codebrainz: and it was plug and play for you? [01:34] Jordan_U: yes, tried dmraid -r and it "no raid disks" [01:34] qaa: you will have to go with mdadm to reassemble the raid, and possibly lvscan [01:34] Loshki, yep, i literally just plugged and played it to test for that guy :) I bought it for programming with Gstreamer to record video [01:35] does anyone known how to move /var to another location like a symbolic link? [01:35] DasEi: Im back [01:35] Loshki: i have no idea. i'm almost ready to go ahead and reinstall [01:35] hi [01:35] rafaelsoaresbr, what do you mean? [01:35] bah [01:36] rafaelsoaresbr, for what purpose? [01:36] this is what i should do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [01:36] in order to install nvidia [01:36] i love how ubuntu always fails me [01:36] how to fix hard disk problem (bad sectors)..! [01:36] can anyone tell me how to switch to linux command mode? [01:36] ctrl+f1 [01:36] ??? [01:36] DasEi: *yawn* anyway Im to tired to try anything today Good Night everyone and thank you all so very much [01:36] DasEi: there any way you can explain? i dont have much experience with mdadm [01:36] jon1, are you using LVM or actual software raid? [01:36] is it ctrl+alt+f1 ? [01:37] aurilliance, codebrainz, I need to free up some space in /, so I want to move /var to /backup/var using symbolic link. is it possilbe? [01:38] rafaelsoaresbr, "cd / && mkdir backup && mv /var /backup/var" [01:38] then you'd need to create the link (i can't remember the specifics, but it's the ln command) [01:38] rafaelsoaresbr, best would be to mount /var to /backup/var in /etc/fstab i would think, after moving the files [01:38] ^ [01:38] _> Hello, how solve ubuntu's boot proble: dev/x/y no yet installed press to skip o m to manual mounting? [01:39] is there a ubuntu channel for audio help [01:39] ? [01:39] ? [01:39] sjokkis: I don't see any X server bugs in google that also involve forgetting keyboard settings...

[01:39] qaa: I'm not much in techs these days, but lets try : [01:39] luis_, that's so not an actual error message, or proper english [01:39] InnerFIRE_: this channel is a good place to ask for audio help...

[01:42] horay [01:42] rafaelsoaresbr, totally guess here, but 'sudo cp -ar /var/* /backup/var' and then edit /etc/fstab file to make /backup/var be the mount point for /var [01:42] sjokkis: sorry, I don't even know where to point you on that one. I don't think I've ever even *used* setxkbmap. Keep asking. Maybe an X guru will show up later...

It has a default res pf 1280x1024, and is identified as dell blah blah blah. The other monitor is identified as CRT-0, which signifies an error.

You know about 'screen' ? [01:57] abadr, what do you mean by cluster? the default install is just a regular server install [01:57] codebrainz i dont under stand how to get to the directory [01:57] codebrainz: I mean cluster as in a data directory that stores multiple databases that postgresql reads... [01:57] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, go to Terminal, and type that [01:58] abadr, isn't that just how database servers work? what specifically are you trying to do?

[02:04] the problem is that i can hear music through headphones bt not through the internal speakers [02:04] codebrainz: I have installed sensors and am watching the temp of the cpu and it never goes over 70C [02:05] and i reported the bug almost a year and some change ago [02:05] Loshki, how can i found out? [02:05] codebrainz: your thoughts?

[02:08] codebrainz: yep cpufreq-info and cpufreq-selector is what I have also been using to hard set this...thinking that it might be a gnome panel applet problem....but alas the problem persists on 10.04 for me [02:08] codebrainz, are you an idiot??? in spanish we cant read and undrestand a lot grammatical forms ¬¬ [02:08] i want to install the mini.iso then install packages as i need them. i want to use vesa driver for video do i have to install xorg to get that or can i install it separately [02:08] \ === jrcarr2 is now known as jamescarr [02:08] luis_: please try and keep a civil tone, ok?

[02:11] now i can't think why I'd want to use it unless to detach some program on a server, and i can't think of any program i'd want to detach [02:12] Arthur___, if you want X, you need X + the vesa driver, if you just want the kernel framebuffer without X, then you just enable the vesafb driver (or uvesafb) [02:12] Loshki: naah i a mix of GUI and CLI [02:12] InnerFIRE_: that's probably going to be your best bet, then if you report it on Launchpad, the Audio people will be able to see it and assist [02:12] * T1750 doesn't understand the purists [02:13] i have an older computer i dont need xorg i think vesa will do i want to know how to sudo apt-get vesa?

[02:13] Arthur___, what do you expect from the framebuffer/vesa? it won't give you windows like X or window managers like metacity [02:14] Loshki: Oh I was, but it was more comment than complaint [02:14] i know sudo apt-get install xorg will install xorg but i want to use vesa driver instead..? [02:14] InnerFIRE_: It needs to be reported so the devs know about the problem. Please report it and that you're having a problem with Lucid. [02:14] on a scale of 1-10 of care i'm about a 0.5 [02:15] hello, how can i fix my apt-get package manager ? i have removed some files manually and now when i run "apt-get autoremove" it shows me an error message that it cannot find the directories which is because i removed them manually , how can i fix this problem ? [02:15] Arthur___, apt-get install --no-install-recommends xinit xserver-xorg-video-vesa xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse xfonts-base xterm [02:15] thank u cod brainz this should be enough information 2 fix it and i am seeing multiple C-Media USB Headphone Set [02:16] Arthur___, that's a basic X install, but you'd prolly be better off using your real drivers [02:16] SaEeDIRHA: tell apt to reinstall itself? :) make the dirs? [02:16] amokpaule: well, it seems logical from the error message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:56639.". I can't think why it would choose such an address unless it was configured somewhere... [02:16] T1750: how can i tell apt-get to reinstall itself ? is there anyway to clean its catch ? [02:16] apt-get clean [02:17] i have older computers want ubuntu on them and dont want to put any xtra load on the slow cpu's 1000mhz 700 and a 600...

[02:17] Loshki, ok can you tell me for what i have to look now? [02:17] SaEeDIRHA: tell me what you did, write it in a big paste bin, i will do it too, then repair it and pastebin it back [02:17] THANK U VERY MUCH CODEBRAINZ i got full sound and in line mic [02:17] Arthur___, install a Command line from the alternate CD and then run that apt-get command i gave, i can assure you it will run fine. [02:17] but you only have 15 minutes or so :) [02:17] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, np. glad you got it working [02:17] hi guys, anybody know how to extract a .rar file? [02:18] SaEeDIRHA: like, try and pastebin the commands, if you cant just describe [02:18] Arthur___, i'd also recommend a nice lightweight window manager and panel [02:18] ok [02:18] im on ubuntu karmic [02:18] w8 [02:18] !unrar | aaaoooaaa [02:18] aaaoooaaa: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [02:18] yea i installed the base system and used xorg i think vesa will be less resource hog? is that right??? [02:18] Arthur___, doubt it. probably get better performance with the proper driver [02:19] T1750: http://pastebin.com/DJHY4xap [02:19] think xorg will work better? [02:19] someone should e-mail that rar guy that nobody except pirates uses rar anyway so he might as well make it OS [02:19] nobody's gunna buy it they're pirates [02:19] Arthur___, xorg is sorta your only choice if you want anything resembling a regular desktop environment [02:19] I'm trying to chroot into my main root directory from the live CD so I can use apt-get to fix some issues that made my network not work anymore, but my sources was set to just cd so it's not using the net [02:19] T1750: please keep it ontopic:) [02:19] h00k: sorry [02:20] something silly and trivial but annoying in 10.04 is where the icons go for minimized apps does anyone else experience this or have a solution? [02:20] im running 10.04 studio [02:20] judget, you mean how they're on the left? [02:20] amokpaule: sorry, dunno. Also ask in #firefox, ok? [02:20] is there a property for the notification area that I may have misset? [02:20] so as in proper driver u mean xorg? [02:20] SaEeDIRHA: what is your uname -a output ?

[02:23] one more stupid question how would i determine my correct driver? [02:23] you know, task-switcher thingy :) [02:23] hi, I used to have javascript and adobe. but what's up now? 9.10 chrome.java allowed. should I do the adobe version again? I sort of remember that some version of flash is Good and some version is Bad. lol-good-bad. [02:24] To view this movie you need the Adobe Flash Player plugin. You also need JavaScript enabled in your browser. [02:24] SaEeDIRHA: i;m not leet enuf to work it out cuz i don't use deb as my main package system mostly i suggest you read man pages but uust use dpkg tools not apt and --force things [02:24] if you give me an sssh login i will do it [02:24] zifnab: looks like they talk about it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1406969 [02:24] !danger [02:24] 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!

[02:25] so i should add a task list item to the panmel? [02:25] h00k: what the let me ssh thing?

I get this error: Non-system disk or disk error. replace and strike any key. I put the 9.04 disk in and goto boot from disk and everything works well. Am I missing some boot files or what? I am at a loss [02:25] SaEeDIRHA: do I need to warn you not to let strange men into your system via ssh? [02:25] ah it is called window list in gnome [02:25] h00k: there's no reason he can't force remove all those old kernels they're not needed [02:25] hello [02:25] so i guess you must mean that [02:26] codebrain in ubuntu studio you only have one task panel [02:26] T1750: just the 'allow me into your box' type behavior, please don't do that [02:26] ok :) [02:26] T1750: Thank you :) [02:26] were to i get more screensavers [02:26] judget, ah, ok then :) [02:26] ill give it a crack at re-creating the error then [02:26] do* [02:26] Cinnamon, check in synaptic there are several packages that aren'T installed by default [02:26] Cinnamon: you can check in the Software Center for some [02:27] Loshki, i got it now i had to stop ubuntu one on my comp then restart now it works.

[02:27] codebrainz, nope only 10.04 [02:27] tommyoblood, you can try reinstalling grub, might fix it [02:27] Cinnamon: there was an instance of a malicious behavior on gnome-look.org so be certain of what you're installing if you get anything from there. [02:27] codebrain, i had thought it was the notification item but apparently iin gnome it is called a window list [02:28] judget, yea that's the ticket [02:28] codebrainz, what is the commands for that in the terminal? [02:28] judget: window-list, that's it [02:28] thanks [02:28] SaEeDIRHA: which ver of ubuntu did you say you were on again? [02:28] h00k: was there? Got a link handy?

Maybe it wasn't as salacious as it sounded? [02:29] !manual | Cinnamon [02:29] Cinnamon: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [02:29] Loshki: someone uploaded some bad stuff and packaged it as a screensaver, iirc [02:29] Cinnamon: There might be a SLUUG where you live [02:29] erm, I mean LUUG [02:29] :( [02:30] h00k: oh, that's nasty. About how long ago? [02:30] I want to use scp to copy files between the server and my ubuntu using the username root.

[02:39] yep [02:39] t1750, can you boot?

[03:41] anthony: noacpi keeps the kernel from using internal features of the mb that handle the power button, fans etc. the system will still function but the os will have no control over these features. hence, your mb will handle most of those features. you can use noacpi to boot the distro and then modify the installation until you get a working system [03:41] codebrainz, it would let me post links.... [03:41] hi [03:41] sorry [03:41] Beyondinferno, what package are you trying to install that needs directfb? [03:41] Beyondinferno: That's extremely weird. If you'll notice, it has "Vers)on" instead of "Version". Try fixing that with an editor. [03:41] codebrainz would *not let me [03:41] sebsebseb: just 'xkill'? without parameters? [03:42] how can i fix bad sectors in my harddrive? [03:42] mechdave: ty sir [03:42] Appl6, good eye [03:42] chalk: you can't! [03:42] ok, I deleted a user and re added the same user. Now I have a bunch of files owned by "109" instead of "joeblogs" [03:42] Appl6 lol thats great.... [03:42] oh my, now i need to buy a harddrive [03:42] chalk: they're bad, but you can fsck -y /device to make them not be used anymore [03:42] how do I chown them all>? How do I find htem all? [03:42] imthenachoman, No worries :) http://packages.ubuntu.com is always a good resource to use for this kinda thing :) [03:42] !badblocks [03:42] Nautilus: the link crdlb gave me does not say for Intrepid by the way [03:42] chalk: i've had several die on me this week including one in a raid *0* array [03:42] chalk: yes just xkill [03:42] http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/firefox-364-to-be-pushed-to-ubuntu.html sebsebseb Nautilus well not intrepid at least ; you can also try the firefox stable PPA https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable [03:43] Gryllida: yes just xkill [03:43] chalk: http://linux.die.net/man/8/badblocks [03:43] sebsebseb: good thing he's using 8.04 then :) [03:43] T1750: also, ^ [03:43] just want to say thx to the guy who helped here me out with ubuntu installing grub on my flash drive rather than the HD. yes its a setting in install buried away where i would never have found it so.... next time you're in vancouver i owe you a beer :) [03:43] datakid: "man find", see the section on -uid [03:43] datakid: I think you need to also delete the group for the old user and then add the new user and make sure it has the right group number [03:43] Appl6 and codebrainz thanks a ton! [03:43] thanks guys [03:43] you can keep using your hd with your badblocks list if you like, but if you are geting bad blocks maybe its time the hd went on ebay [03:43] thanks T1750 [03:43] thanks h00k [03:44] SoftwareExplorer, old group no longer in /etc/group so I think I'm safe [03:44] T1750, jerk ... hahaha [03:44] Appl6, cheers, I'll look into it [03:44] sebsebseb: done, it still won't work [03:44] T1750, so you're the guy that sold me that... [03:44] lol [03:44] whats the debian for mythtv media server [03:44] sebsebseb: maybe an non-window process of it stuck in the processes, idk [03:44] Gryllida: there are other ways to install software as well :) however Software Centre should work [03:44] cant find it on the repositories [03:44] celeritas: yes i think i already try it but when i boot up the live cd then install ubuntu 10.04 it will not boot i don't know how to modify it when installing can you help me i really what to use ubuntu 10.04 [03:44] diane: That was Pelo (who quit a while ago) [03:45] datakid: So, now you need to make sure that the new user has the same group number (Which is 109) as the files. [03:45] Gryllida: is this the first time it happended or? [03:45] con-man: aptitude search mythtv [03:45] Gryllida: you made it sound liek before a re boot fixes it, right, but then you get it again? [03:45] sebsebseb: Xkill asked me to point to it by mouse, while if it didn't close properly first time, it could have left an invisible process, which I'm unable to xkill [03:45] anthony, did ubuntu install grub correctly? [03:45] hello [03:45] sebsebseb: "you made it sound liek before a re boot fixes it, right, but then you get it again?" true [03:45] Gryllida: yes with xkill you click on the app you want to close [03:45] yes it is [03:46] chalk: if i were you, and h00k may be much smarter than me, but if your data is important to you and your hd is developing bad blocks (it does this over time naturally there are some reserved in manufacture to silently replace the bad ones) well if they have all run out and now you are still losing blocks .... well me i wouldn't use that HD anymore [03:46] jordan u....yeah right...well in the interest of full disclosure i'm setting this computer up for my friend diane... IRL i'm guy and not to attractive but say thanks for me next time you see him. [03:46] Hello every 1 i am having problems with audio for flash videos and online music i cant hear the audio but the flash playes [03:46] Gryllida: ok what about installing software from Synaptic that works or? [03:46] datakid: It's probably a good idea to have the new user have the same user number and group number. [03:46] celeritas: yes it install correctly but it does not boot [03:46] sebsebseb: It works after a reboot, then something (?) happens, and it stops working, this happened two times already [03:46] sebsebseb: I'm not in sudoers group, can't launch synaptic [03:46] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, find and delete all instances of libflashplayer.so on your system and reinstall the newest flash player for linux [03:47] SoftwareExplorer, is there anyway to force this? [03:47] Gryllida: oh [03:47] Gryllida: ah ha [03:47] chalk: I would also be wary if you're getting a high number of them, also try an fsck on the drive [03:47] Gryllida: that could be why software centre doesn't seem to work either [03:47] sebsebseb: what should I do? [03:47] kk [03:47] Gryllida: you will need sudo access or you can't install software [03:47] anthony, did you try editing the grub command of the installed ubuntu at boot time. after selecting the version of ubuntu you want to boot, press e to edit the command. then add the noacpi option to the kernel line [03:47] T1750: yeah, that seems about right [03:47] anthony: You can hold shift during boot to add the noacpi kernel parameter there, then once booted make it permanent with "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" (edit GRUB_LINUX_CMDLINE in the window that comes up) then "sudo update-grub" [03:48] sebsebseb: But it worked after a reboot fine, asked for password and I installed abiword, so it does after every reboot [03:48] codebrainz can i use firefox to uninstall addons [03:48] Gryllida: lets see if you can install something from the terminal, either think of something to install yourself, or you could use abiword for example sudo apt-get install abiword [03:48] Gryllida: oh [03:48] h00k: suppose if you had a use for a volatile cache it would be ok [03:48] Gryllida: already done Abiword which I was using as an example, well gnumeric goes nicely with Abiwrod [03:48] anyway i'm out of here but.... to all you ubuntistas thanks a lot... you're changing the world. :) [03:48] Gryllida: spreadsheet app [03:48] o wait nvm [03:48] h00k & T1750 http://paste.ubuntu.com/446421/ [03:48] bet google uses em [03:48] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, no, go and find the libflashplayer.so file (like uder ~/.mozilla and /usr/lib/mozilla and simiar) [03:48] k [03:49] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, or use the GUI to search for that filename [03:49] datakid: If you go to System > Administration > Users that's where you change most of this. The problem is that two groups or user's can't have the same number, so you just have to change the numbers on the group that has the number you want and then assign that number to the correct group [03:49] ok i will try i hope it will work this time... [03:49] can anyone recommend a high quality motherboard manufacturer that is consistantly compatible/works well in ubuntu? [03:49] chalk: for /device, you're going to replace that with your harddrive, for instance: /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 [03:49] Appl6 and codebrainz i'm still getting errors.... [03:49] Gryllida: ok so we know software centre won't work now [03:49] no files found [03:49] Seriously. I have 8 cores running at 3.85 GHz each, 6 gigs of 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram, and two solid state drives striped in a raid 0 array. My whole computer can boot in under 20 seconds; and yet I STILL CANT STREAM VIDEO. Lags every 2 seconds.! [03:49] Gryllida: give the termianl a try to install an app, lets find out if that works [03:50] adum: and that's why #ubuntu-offtopic exist ;) [03:50] con-man: try vlc [03:50] con-man streaming via web or lan [03:50] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, you searched your system for libflashplayer.so and it says no file found? [03:50] yes sir [03:50] SoftwareExplorer, I"m on cli only slicehost :) [03:50] * T1750 has SERIOUSLY screwed up some HD's and raid configs before so may be of help if you gety stuck but will be going to bed in about 10 minutes and h00k seems to know his thing [03:50] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, then you don't have flash installed [03:50] con-man, have you checked you net drivers? [03:50] T1750: meh, kinda/sorta :) [03:50] but then how can i play videos on youtube with out sound [03:51] * T1750 also uses an openeed quantum fireball with the platters bent upward into bowls as an ashtray [03:51] codebrainz you see my message? [03:51] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, i had success downloading the one from adobe, the tarball and just placing the libflashplayer.so in the firefox plgin dir [03:51] h00k, i can't because it's mounted (what i'm booting on) [03:51] i have a problem with quodlibet, this is the output i get wen i run it on the terminal nits@nits-desktop:~$ quodlibet [03:51] Initializing audio backend (gstbe) [03:51] Initializing main library (~/.quodlibet/songs) [03:51] Supported formats: mod, mp3, mp4, mpc, spc, trueaudio, wav, wavpack, wma, xiph [03:51] Traceback (most recent call last): [03:51] nits: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

The part about two users or groups not being able to have the same number at the same time still applies though. [03:52] celeritas, hufx, Beyondinferno: VLC can stream to a PS3? It's a wired not wireless, private network and what do you mean "checked my net drivers" [03:52] i will go ahead and try dat [03:52] chalk: can you boot from a liveCD/USB?

[03:53] brb guys [03:53] nothing [03:53] SoftwareExplorer, yeah, I think I'll just do a quick bash script with find [03:53] cheers [03:53] chalk: Booting from the CDROM/USB will be safe from your disk because it's not using your HDD [03:53] Jordan_U: is this the thing that i need to pass to the gedit that will popup "GRUB_LINUX_CMDLINE" [03:53] sebsebseb: sudo apt-get install returns "user is not in sudoers group" [03:54] i just had a couple lockups and it won't let me update anything [03:54] sorry guys I dropped there; celeritas, hufx, Beyondinferno: VLC can stream to a PS3?

[03:54] codebrainz i just had a couple lockups and it won't let me update anything [03:54] ok now do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins [03:54] Gryllida: ok thats the problem [03:54] Gryllida: thinks your not in that group [03:54] anthony: Whatever you added to get the CD to boot is what you need to add at the grub menu [03:54] Gryllida: have you only got one account on there? [03:54] quodlibet error, i run it in the terminal and i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/446423/ please help [03:54] Beyondinferno, maybe try apt-get remove --purge directfb && apt-get autoremove --purge (which will remove directfb completely) [03:55] codebrainz xbmc is broken among other things (chromium, firefox) [03:55] Beyondinferno, ah, xbmc prolly uses directfb [03:55] Is supertux a kids game? [03:55] codebrainz it showed like 31 dependencies [03:55] chalk: it shouldn't, no [03:55] !info supertux [03:55] supertux (source: supertux): Classic 2D jump 'n run sidescroller with Tux. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.3-2 (lucid), package size 854 kB, installed size 2436 kB [03:55] h00k, ok then [03:56] chalk: but I'd recommend that [03:56] mechdave: see above at bot [03:56] Beyondinferno, you had orphaned packages in your pastebin, it's wanting to pull those and anything else that depends on directfb [03:56] mechdave: give it a try even, nice app [03:56] mechdave: there are quite a few apps in the repo with Tux though, that are really for kids [03:56] Jordan_U: thank man for giving me hope. i just get some home because of it thx... [03:56] any ideas anyone? [03:56] mechdave: they are good also [03:56] codebrainz i'm just concerned about all my settings for xbmc and such... [03:56] sebsebseb, thanks, got it running, very neat... but rather hard in the higher levels :) [03:57] thx to ubuntu community your the best guys.... [03:57] sebsebseb, Thanks shall have a look [03:57] con-man, maybe you have the wrong drivers for your nic [03:57] anthony: You're welcome. [03:57] thx [03:57] mechdave: whilst on about Tux apps though, Tuxpaint is rather nice :) [03:57] bye i need to format my computer bye [03:57] mechdave: an theres supertux kart or wahtever raceing game and so on [03:57] how come websites render different on localhost compared to uploading it to a domain? [03:57] Beyondinferno, use your own discretion. it sounds like a bug in that one directfb-extra package though [03:58] i need some help with quodlibet i get this error wen i run the quodlibet through the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/446423/ [03:58] codebrainz but i'm in no position to make a choice like this! lol [03:58] nits, it looks like you're probably missing a library that supports the type of thing you're trying to open [03:58] Gryllida: still about? [03:58] my goodness, lots of tux games on packages.ubuntu.com, I'm in heaven :) [03:58] celeritas, how would one check this? [03:58] sebsebseb: two, me (desktop user) and another one (administrator), but me was able to use software center fine until it broke suddenly, then I rebooted, then it broke again after some time [03:58] it opened just fine till yesterday codebrainz [03:59] ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins [03:59] Gryllida: why two accounts? [03:59] sebsebseb: when it worked, it prompted for password [03:59] Beyondinferno, download the .deb for the package that's flaking out from the ubuntu site and see if it installs [03:59] Beyondinferno, better yet, find a newer version [03:59] Hah! SoftwareExplorer http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/find-files-that-do-not-have-any-owners-or-do-not-belong-to-any-user-under-linuxunix/ [03:59] sebsebseb: because I don't think it ok to go to www with administrator account, it it? [03:59] Chriz: If they have a php script or something like that in them, then it wouldn't execute if you are having your browser read it straight off the hardrive. [03:59] Gryllida: yeah I thought you done like WIndows [03:59] Gryllida: well this is not Windows :) [03:59] sebsebseb: um, what is the proper way to do it? [03:59] Gryllida: in Windows yes should only have an admin account, that is used when really need it, otherwise use a limited acocunt [04:00] sebsebseb: yes I've been using windows ffor 10 years, installed ubuntu just yesterday [04:00] datakid: Cool. So I'm assuming you got it fixed then? [04:00] Gryllida: with Ubuntu and other Linux distros, its fine to use a standard user account, which is what your administrater account is [04:00] SoftwareExplorer, I mean the site actually renders differently (sizes/fonts/etc are messed up) I have a lamp setup under ubuntu [04:00] sebsebseb: what is the proper way to do it? make me administrator and go to www? [04:00] SoftwareExplorer, well, I've found how to fix it :) Now for the fixin' [04:01] Gryllida: well your administraoter account is the one you should be using really, since sudo [04:01] ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins [04:01] Gryllida: sudo makes you become admin, but only for the task you are doing [04:01] I cannot for the life of me get my webcam to work on ubuntu 10.04. It hasn't worked on any previous versions, either. It's a webcam built in to my sony vaio vgn-fz298ce. [04:01] Gryllida: or root as it would be called more properly when talking LInux distros [04:01] sebsebseb: ok thank you [04:01] Gryllida: you can change the [04:01] Anyone have any suggestions? [04:02] Gryllida: permissions for what the desktop user account can do, you can set it up so it can sudo as well [04:02] (and yes, I have tried google, and it didn't help) [04:02] con-man, lspci should give you the recognized name of your nic, which should match the actual nic version. if you see a major difference in the driver being used, see if you can find the correct drivers for the nic. then just compile and install [04:02] codebrainz how do i force install a package? [04:02] ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins [04:03] Chriz: Does the browser show the same source code for the pages from the different places? [04:03] Gryllida: that can be done using commands, or easilly graphicalley [04:03] Beyondinferno, the deb? there should be a gui or dpkg -i the_package [04:04] Gryllida: so graphically you can give it the same permissions as what the administrator account has, then you can sudo and such with that account [04:04] nits, this issue has been resolved in the program http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/source/detail?spec=svn418e5925d54028bd3deaf691b90d6b86a947f18a&r=d2622cab934c9501857f1777a4cc93c12eba12e0 [04:04] SoftwareExplorer, all except for the links that are returned [04:04] codebrainz i just launched the deb and it's giving dependency errors too [04:04] sebsebseb: but I indicated just 1 password during the install [04:04] jnbj [04:04] sebsebseb: looks like it's both root and 1sr-user-on-the-os password [04:04] Gryllida: right, but you made a second account after install? [04:05] nits, fix in this: http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/detail?id=461 [04:05] sebsebseb: can these be different [04:05] sebsebseb: yes I made a second account too === roved2101_ is now known as roved2101 [04:05] hello [04:05] Chriz: In that case, I not sure why it's different. [04:05] Gryllida: changing passwords for accounts is easy as well [04:05] sebsebseb: what should I do - relogin and work from under adminstrator (the 1st-that-I made during the install) or just change this account type to admin? [04:06] SoftwareExplorer, is it possible to remerge my entire system? [04:06] codebrainz : thanks man was just a corrupted config file coz of a powercut i had yesterday thune3 helped me figure it out thanks man :) [04:06] Gryllida: did you use the graphical users and groups program when you made your second user? [04:06] yes [04:06] ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins [04:06] nits, no worries [04:06] Gryllida: ok well that is how you change the permissions for your desktop user graphicalley [04:06] Gryllida: however it should have the same rights as what your admin account currently has [04:06] sebsebseb: so I would end up in administrator and me users, both of type 'admin'? === bastidrazor is now known as bastid_raZor [04:06] Gryllida: and to see that I guess you would have to log in to the account [04:07] sebsebseb: sure I agree with the latter line [04:07] Gryllida: you would turn the desktop user account into one that can also use sudo and such [04:07] sebsebseb: what would the 1st account be for then? [04:07] Chriz: I don't know. [04:07] Gryllida: or you could just use that account all the time [04:07] hi, does anyone know the plugin that ubottu uses to address nicks with factoids? [04:08] !ubottu | Datz [04:08] Datz, please see my private message [04:08] Gryllida: you don't need two accounts, at the moment if ever depending on what your going to be doing, this isn't Windows [04:08] something like that... [04:08] !docs | Datz [04:08] Datz, please see my private message [04:08] i guess that exception really did matter cause commenting it out broke the ISO :) [04:09] a multiple connection download program that won't multiple connect is stupid though. [04:09] * T1750 now here for 20 more minutes [04:09] Gryllida: most Ubuntu users, use the account that is set up after install [04:10] * T1750 snapshotted the iso file and copied the aria metadata b4 experiment should still be able to finish with success [04:10] Gryllida: and then only create other accounts on the computer, for other computer users [04:10] question guys.... i'm downgrading from lucid to karmic, and the most recent kernel didn't seem to want to run on reinstalled karmic... so i changed to GRUB_DEFAULT=4 (from 0) and things are working now... [04:10] how do you fix it so that you never had to put in your keyring password for your wireless to connect? [04:10] sebsebseb: having an account to build packages is a good idea [04:11] ronx: how are you downgrading exactly? [04:11] more so with rpm [04:11] however, when i apt-get upgrade, it doesn't seem to want to upgrade linux-headers-generic [04:11] but even with deb [04:11] defendguin: do you have automatic login enabled? [04:11] T1750: ok maybe so, but most users of Ubuntu won't be doing that [04:11] jrib: i used 9.10 install disk [04:11] h00k yeah [04:11] sebsebseb: it _was_ setup but I seem to have reset it, by clicking «set it to administrator type» when making a new one, can I reset its privileges to what is the default in some way? [04:11] and some instructions i found on a blog somewhere [04:11] ronx: so you are doing a fresh install then? [04:11] not quite... i used custom partitions [04:11] and didn't change anything [04:11] ronx: what partitions? [04:11] defendguin: that's why, and as far as I know, you'd have to set manual login (enter a password to login) to get around that [04:11] sebsebseb: you're right, they'd be using another distro j/k [04:12] Gryllida: you can give the desktop account the default prividlges graphically, what admin account currently has, thats quite easy to do graphically [04:12] http://www.khattam.info/2010/03/15/howto-downgrading-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-to-9-10-karmic-koala/ [04:12] that's what i used [04:12] h00k that's not good for a computer I am using as a server [04:12] ronx: you understand downgrading is not supported? [04:12] my previous setup was really simple... everything on / and then swap [04:12] sure [04:12] defendguin: er, why not? [04:12] i don't wanna have to turn it's monitor on every time [04:12] Gryllida: however you will need to be in the admin account, to change the desktop account privildges [04:12] ronx, we don't support downgrading so if it broke something do not complain [04:12] looking for "unofficial" support hehe [04:12] not complaining at all [04:13] and nothing is really broken [04:13] sebsebseb: But after the install, I remember the 1st-account having some level of privileges different from 'administrator', it was called 'customized', how do I get what it was? [04:13] hi all i have googled around for some time. but i cannot seem to find an answer. i have exported a filezilla settings into a .xml file from my windows. how do i import that into my filezilla in ubuntu? i am running filezilla client [04:13] just looking for the best way to update kernel [04:13] ronx: What is the real problem you have? (I just joined) [04:13] Gryllida: customized? [04:13] sebsebseb: yes [04:13] So I'm about to install ubuntu on my laptop again. I have 4GB RAM and am wondering if I should go with the 64bit version instead of the 32 to be able to access the extra ~700MB of RAM. I won't be doint anything that requires that much RAM but being able to access it could be nice. Thoughts? [04:13] when i apt-get upgrade, it says my linux-headers-generic are kept back [04:13] sebsebseb: the word 'administrator' was surely not there for 1st account, it was me who set iut [04:13] because i had to modify my grub config to point to an older kernel [04:13] Gryllida: oh I think I know what you mean, using another distro at the moment, but i'll load up an Ubuntu virtual machine, so I can explain what I mean properly and what not [04:13] it [04:13] ronx: update-manager updates the kernel automatically. If you want to use apt-get, then you need to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" [04:14] sebsebseb: ok [04:14] celeritas, here is the pastebin of lspci: http://pastebin.ca/1878825 [04:14] k so dist-upgrade won't try to take me to lucid [04:14] ronx: no, take a look at « man apt-get » [04:14] word [04:14] er, roger [04:14] ronx: I think that you should remove the newer kernels yourself.

[04:28] Hey, can anyone help me restore my Grub for Ubuntu 10.04? I deleted a partition, then resized my linux partition to make it larger. Now it went from sda6 to sda5 and my grub can't find it. :/ [04:28] hello? [04:28] gryllida1: hi [04:28] T1750, it runs sync to flush the cache to disk and unmounts it [04:28] celeritas, http://pastebin.ca/1878830 [04:28] Guest3902: Boot from a liveCD, chroot and run sudo update-grub [04:28] T1750, ie "safely remove" [04:29] sebsebseb: I'm in the main account now [04:29] Chak82: that might be it. unmap the volume keys from rhythmbox and let gnome take care of the volume [04:29] codebrainz, offtopic PM [04:29] codebrainz: it does something more than that -- Safely remove somehow shuts off my Sandisk u3 sticks (the lights go out) [04:29] codebrainz: I always wondered how come there's no race condition doing that [04:29] I'm talking through the livecd right now. I'll work on Chrooting it. [04:29] celeritas: how can i do that? [04:29] sebsebseb: what should I do now? [04:29] i suppose only if you're messing with the mounted disk using dd that could be [04:29] kamilion thanks I'll try again. [04:29] * T1750 wonders why they cant access it then [04:29] Guest3902: Example, if the Linux partition is mounted to /mnt, then you run "sudo chroot /mnt" [04:29] anyone ! how to enable ssl for IRC chat. [04:29] sebsebseb: delete the second user and work from this one? [04:30] gryllida1: apparantly there is a way to run sudo in an account that doesn't have the privildges set up etc, or whatever. anyway do what I was going to say sure [04:30] hi all i have googled around for some time. but i cannot seem to find an answer. i have exported a filezilla settings into a .xml file from my windows. how do i import that into my filezilla in ubuntu? i am running filezilla client [04:30] gryllida1: you can give the second user the permissions of the account your in now [04:30] T1750: I think it sends some kind of power management command using hdparm [04:30] Thank you admin, I'll post back on my progress in a minute. [04:30] !ssl [04:30] hello [04:30] Hey guys quick question. I typically set my power settings to not idle out, however, with lucid it does it regardless of the settings in power management. How can I get it to not idle out every two minutes or so? [04:31] con-man, your nic reports RTL8111/8168B PCI but the loaded driver is r8169 [04:31] sebsebseb: what? I don't think I really need 2 accounts ; and the second thing is that I would like to know what it was after the install (iirc it was not 'administrator' type then( [04:31] lopeze: the screensaver is different than the powersave screen blank -- check both. [04:31] gryllida1: yes [04:31] gryllida1: you will set up the second account like it should be, then you can get rid of the one your in now [04:31] T1750, sorry, was that for me up there ^^ ? [04:31] lopeze: Screensaver? [04:31] con-man, this looks pretty close to what you need http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/R8168 [04:32] celeritas, thx [04:32] sebsebseb: ok. how do I set up the second one? like making it be admin, or do you know the default setup? [04:32] Checking right now, where is the setting itself? I've never had to change it before. [04:32] gryllida1: yes you will set it up with the default set up [04:32] Nevermind, got it. [04:32] sebsebseb: how? [04:32] sebsebseb: so not as 'administrator', right? [04:32] Thanks guys. [04:33] How is modifying /etc/sudoers by hand dangerous? (it says to only modify it by visudo) [04:33] Kamilion, thanks guy [04:33] how can i unmap the sound in rythmbox? [04:33] gryllida1: system > administration > users and groups === r2d2 is now known as Guest29711 [04:33] con-man, see if there is something like that targeted to ubuntu. modifying the kernel can screw you for hours later [04:33] hi, am looking for info about backtrack i all ready download it, and install it. [04:33] it cause errors in entire gnome when im manipuling the volume [04:33] theadmin: well you run the risk of making a syntax error and then no longer having any sudo access. That's why you should always use visudo [04:33] !ot>antraxcol [04:33] antraxcol, please see my private message [04:33] bump! [04:33] sebsebseb: I opened it [04:34] Anyone had issues with 10.04 wireless drivers not installing [04:34] !anyone [04:34] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:34] theadmin: visudo uses a tempfile copy, checks it for sanity, and then atomically replaces the sudoers file if it's "okay" [04:34] !details [04:34] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:34] gryllida1: hang on a bit since... [04:34] sebsebseb: ok [04:34] StriKk_9: no, no one (just ask *your* question with relevant details) [04:34] sup guys. im using a dell netbook and i'm pretty new to ubuntu. how can i make the ubuntu as fast as possible? thanks [04:34] admin: it can't find a device for /. It asked if /dev is mounted. "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu [04:34] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." [04:34] jrib: Wait, wait, what on earth... "root ALL=(ALL) ALL"... it means root priveleges may be taken away... from root? [04:34] If TimeWarner is blocking hulu, would it help to go through a proxy? [04:34] THEO: disable desktop effects for one thing [04:34] THEO: LOL, just get newest version (10.4), notthing more [04:35] theadmin: The nice thing is that visudo respects the EDITOR env var -- so if you've got it set to nano, it (somewhat unintuitively) opens nano to edit it, not actually vi. [04:35] theadmin: no, just sudo privileges [04:35] ok , i see you in private [04:35] jrib: root doesn't need sudo o_O [04:35] theadmin: SeLinux or other LSMs can make the root account basically powerless. [04:35] theadmin: I guess [04:35] codebrainz: you sure it doesn't do something to stop me messing with it after unmounting [04:35] So, I remember MANY versions back, Ubuntu (or compiz) had issues with window decorations disappearing. It seems that STILL hasn't been patched. What's the workaround to get them back? [04:35] gryllida1: you see unlock if you click on the other account or something like that? [04:35] half the time i can still use it half the time i cant [04:35] doormat81: iirc "metacity --replace" ? [04:36] Kamilion: that'd be compiz --replace [04:36] sebsebseb: no, I don't see unlock button anywhere in that window [04:36] * john275 is testing [04:36] Kamilion: (compiz handles window decorations and metacity does not.) [04:36] Kamilion, Yeah, what theadmin said... I remember now. Thanks to both of you though [04:36] gryllida1: ok [04:36] All I remember is --replace :) [04:36] gryllida1: I guess what I was seeing is fine then, just stupid theme.. [04:37] doormat81: also -- I noticed I had problems with that when I tried using emerald themes. [04:37] cool thanks guys! [04:37] sebsebseb: what do I do now? [04:37] bs it does something to the stickl [04:37] Kamilion, nah, it had been working fine since I installed 10.04, but this time when I logged in they were gone. Weird. [04:37] gryllida1: getting to that just loading this thing up again [04:37] # dd if=/dev/sdg [04:37] Anyhow, this sudoers file is very python-ish [04:37] ok [04:37] dd: opening `/dev/sdg': No medium found [04:38] IRC chat /8001 cannot connect | pidgin 6667 can connect to the chat session..(reason why??) [04:38] comma and space as separator, lol [04:38] jrib: how can I find that plugin? I don't see it @ https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [04:38] theadmin, excuse me, what is the reason you are looking into the sudoers file? [04:38] gryllida1: Why not? [04:38] has anyone here been successful with connecting a mtp device and transfering movies in ubuntu ?? [04:38] 10.04 install - I wireless can see but not connect to wireless networks... Dell latitude d600, what is my best course of action. [04:38] jrib: I probably don't know how to navigate correctly though [04:38] gnomad2 sucks [04:39] can someone tell me how to use btdownloadcurses.py ? [04:39] gryllida1: I just want to set up one account to be able to run certain stuff that requires root priveleges (i.e. mount) [04:39] how does the ubuntu lucid automounter work [04:39] i need to turn it off [04:39] is it udev rule? [04:39] Has anyone else reported weird problems trying to install lucid server today? [04:39] what is an easy way to share the packages that I downloaded with others within my company? just duplicate the /var/cache/apt/archives into their machines? [04:39] theadmin: I am about to do that [04:39] theadmin: with gryllida1 [04:39] theadmin: change an account that does not have that, to one that can [04:39] theadmin: system, administration, users, advanced settings should do it? [04:39] nits [04:40] yes kreppnar [04:40] theadmin: you need to be in the account that can do it first though [04:40] T1750 i think the auto mount is part of gnome [04:40] Kamilion: i tried and got tired with it back to 9.10 hee..hee [04:40] sebsebseb, gryllida1: That's simple, I know how to, actually :D "username ALL=/bin/mount, /bin/umount" [04:40] nits: python2.6 btdownloadcurse.py (torrent file) [04:40] Exxon: debootstrap weirdness? [04:40] theadmin: uhmmm [04:40] ykphuah, apt-proxy [04:40] celeritas: it's somehow marking the device as not missing [04:41] nits: you just doing a shell or is gui? cause i would prefer utorrent [04:41] howdy al:0 [04:41] sebsebseb.. so.. what are you doing? looking for the default setup? [04:41] gryllida1: Well, I don't exactly get the user management thing in GNOME... it's weird [04:41] gryllida1: ok got things loaded up again [04:41] can i see a program running on a ubuntu computer in graphic mode if connect to it on a ubuntu at distance? [04:41] whats the best wep cracker? [04:42] gryllida1: that program seems to have changed a bit since I last used it as well [04:42] gryllida1: so on the left you have the two names yes? [04:42] in a list [04:42] mwen: Depends on how you connect [04:42] Kamilion: looks like they were in hurry! lucid [04:42] h00k i found a way around it [04:42] howdy all :0 [04:42] what u mean? [04:42] Guest29711, aircrack-ng ? [04:42] sebsebseb: yes, 2 names [04:42] defendguin: cool. I forgot what we were talking about :) [04:42] with ssh. [04:42] T1750: regardless of the service providing the automount, a missing entry in dev is not related. is the automount trying to mount the device regardless of the fact that is missing? [04:42] gryllida1: so have the administratoer selected [04:42] h00k http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ [04:43] This is what I got back for trying to update grub after chrooting to my linux drive. "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [04:43] " [04:43] sebsebseb: done [04:43] defendguin: oh, that. alright :) [04:43] mewshi: : Then you'll have to set up X forwarding or what they call it. No idea how. [04:43] @search climbing [04:43] ...Tab fail [04:43] celeritas: i used umount and then i can still reformat the stick [04:43] mwen: Then you'll have to set up X forwarding or what they call it. No idea how. [04:43] celeritas: the problem is rythmbox [04:43] yeah I just got it now just checking it out [04:43] i use the eject button in the nautilus (not dolphin) and the whole /dev/sdg stops responding [04:43] sebsebseb: now what? [04:43] that eject button marks the device as unusable, safest choice perhaps but annoying [04:43] gryllida1: then go to advanced settings [04:43] celeritas: banshee doesnt crash down with de volume control [04:44] sebsebseb: done [04:44] * T1750 thinks its probably goood idea tho when he realised he could just umount himself [04:44] sebsebseb: now what? [04:44] * T1750 wonders how they did it [04:44] gryllida1: contact information is probably blank [04:44] t1750: pretty sure they use hdparm to ask the drive to enter powersave [04:44] sebsebseb: teur [04:45] sebsebseb: true* [04:45] T1750: ah, so it forces the mount. seems like whatever is automounting is ignoring your umount. are you umounting through sudo? [04:45] Guest29711, I use kismet + aircrack-ng [04:45] gryllida1: five things ticked in user privildges? [04:45] sebsebseb: now what? [04:45] rafaelsoaresbr: thanks, reading it now [04:46] alright guys.. [04:46] Chak82: figures, Gnome has conflicting key bindings. try releasing the rhythmbox binding are don't use it at all: there are alternatives [04:46] Brother MFC-495CW scanner not found in ubuntu 10.04 [04:46] Sometimes, I get "unable to mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/weird-code-here on /" on boot times, however I still am able to run fsck somehow from the prompt I get. Any ideas HOW it does this magic? [04:46] gryllida1: yeah? [04:47] gryllida1: administrator the system and such? [04:47] sebsebseb: false, all of them are ticked, except for "use audio devices", since it's 'administrator' type account - it hadsome setup aafter the install but I reset it to administrator type when making the second user.. [04:47] sebsebseb: so not just 5 [04:47] anyone here have a Creative Zen W player that they use in ubuntu? [04:48] theadmin: on the uuid map or the underlying devicename? (/dev/sdX) [04:48] Having problem setting up brother MFC-495CW printer on Ubuntu 10.04 [04:48] theadmin, have you tried changing the fstab to using the sd0 format instead of uuid? [04:48] ykphuah, with apt-proxy you don't need to manually copy packages to each machine. it's a great tool. [04:48] gryllida1: oh right yeah you went in there yourself and did some stuff [04:48] rafaelsoaresbr: if I already have the packages, can I set up apt-proxy on my own machine? [04:48] gryllida1: well go to the other user account like that [04:48] sebsebseb: yes, when making second user, I didn't go to advanced settings,I just set that aaccount to be of type'administrator' [04:48] gryllida1: and give it the things you want it to have [04:49] Kamilion, celeritas: Well, fsck fixes it (it actually happens because of a faulty CMOS battery, it's "timestamp is in the future") [04:49] sebsebseb: I would like to know what the default setup is since I have no idea what some of these checkboxes stand for [04:49] Kamilion, celeritas: The device it complains of is /dev/sda1 (which is my /) [04:50] ykphuah, yes, you can also copy /var/cache/apt/archives from others machines to yours [04:50] gryllida1: my vm is actsaully alpha 1 of what will become the next Ubuntu, but very similar to 10.04, and for this I guess its exactly the same [04:50] how can i edit the places menu? [04:50] Sereph: You can't, it's dynamic. Well, apart from adding Nautilus bookmarks [04:50] sebsebseb: can you tell me what setup you see there? [04:50] gryllida1: yep [04:51] theadmin: well what does it pick up the things in it from [04:51] why my CUPS can not auto start ? [04:51] Sereph: Apart from bookmarks, which is supposed to be ~/.gtk-bookmarks file, no idea [04:51] theadmin: i added things to fstab and mounted them in /mnt but it doesnt see them... [04:51] Sereph: Go to one of your places the Bookmarks>Edit/Add Bookmarks [04:51] Hi all - I have what seems like a super-newbie question, but I just haven't been able to figure it out. Is there anyway to watch quicktime vidoes on apple.com? I have mplayer, but can't seem to get the website to actually send me the .mov file [04:52] gryllida1: ok this is what is ticked, altough I don't feel like typing the whole lot, so this will give you the idea [04:52] rafaelsoaresbr: does that means the other machine have to disable all the software sources? [04:52] rafaelsoaresbr: besides the apt-proxy:9999 [04:52] sebsebseb: like does "administer the system" mean that the user can install things without sudo pw, or is it needed in anyway? [04:52] jnewman9838: If you have the VLC plugin for Firefox (should install with VLC AFAIK), use it, it plays those .mov things fine [04:52] gryllida1: I mean not using full names, you'll see what I mean [04:52] ok [04:52] ykphuah, yes, others machines will access your machine to get packages. [04:53] theadmin: maybe its complaining because it has a duplicate entry for / under sda1 first and then the uuid, making the second mount to root impossible [04:53] theadmin: hmm, the only "magic" I know of is blkid [04:53] gryllida1: access external storage, administrate system, config printers, mon system logs, share files local network, use cd room, use modem. ok thats more than five, tehre were two towards bottom as well [04:53] celeritas: It's not. It's complaining cuz time got erased and it thought I'm in 80's lol [04:53] gryllida1: now most all of it you could have checked really I guess [04:53] most or all [04:54] celeritas: "Last mount is too far in the future" [04:54] acerimmer: I want it to notice the Hard drives... [04:54] can anyone get this thing to load on 10.04???: http://www.bat.org/play/batclient [04:54] sebsebseb: ok. butdoes "administer the system" mean that the user can install things without sudo pw, or is it needed in anyway? [04:54] Sereph: should do that by default... [04:54] theadmin: i though the uuid was not related to the time [04:54] gryllida1: User's password will be still required [04:54] gryllida1: I think you just got to press ok after you got admin system, and things will be ok. unless you got to change the groups your other user has access to as well [04:54] sebsebseb: and which of them is to add the user to sudoers group [04:54] theadmin: Y'know what would be REALLY freaking useful? grub2 has network support -- someone should write an ntp client for it so grub2 can set the time from a server if an invalid system date's set on the hwclock. [04:55] gryllida1: administrate system should do that [04:55] Hello every 1 i am having trouble with audio on firefox like youtube it plays flash but no audio but audio is working on move player [04:55] Kamilion: Not like it will be able to connect anyway, I need NM to do that for me :/ [04:55] sebsebseb: I think I'll just make it be 'administrator' and log into it again [04:55] gryllida1: check other account after changes, before getting rid of one your in now, of course [04:55] celeritas, http://pastebin.ca/1878841 [04:55] acerimmer: only the ones that are automounted by clicking them in that menu. if mounted from fstab or manually they dont. [04:55] celeritas, any better? [04:55] gryllida1: change settings for other account like this, and it should be fine [04:55] sebsebseb: or, rather, just delete it and use this one [04:55] dde: yes [04:56] gryllida1: or make a new account, and then give it these permissions [04:56] dde: if by run you mean launch it [04:56] theadmin: it would work for most standard ethernet/dhcp infrastructure... orrrrr you could just replace the laptop's rtc battery. [04:56] Sereph, what could be wrong with my system that it doesnt load it? [04:56] yes launch [04:56] its a java app [04:56] Kamilion: :D Well, it failed only once so far so whatever [04:56] dde: do you have java installed? [04:56] sebsebseb: where do I set root passwor? [04:56] a game [04:56] gryllida1: Don't do that. [04:56] Kamilion, that's actually a cool idea ... i bet it wouldn't be too hard to add [04:56] !root | gryllida1 [04:56] gryllida1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:56] rafaelsoaresbr: thanks a lot! [04:57] Kamilion: Well, it's not ethernet/dhcp, it's a VPN ISP. [04:57] there is no spoon [04:57] lol [04:57] sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [04:57] codebrainz: Hey, go pitch it to a grub SoC student! [04:57] gryllida1: root password in Ubuntu is something else... [04:57] ykphuah, you're welcome [04:57] snowrichard: yes i saw that too [04:57] Sereph, i believe so, otherwise i wouldnt get the error message in terminal: "cannot open jar: No such file" [04:57] gryllida1: the idea is to use sudo instead of root [04:57] con-man, i see the module is loaded in the kernel but its not actually using it [04:57] !sudo | gryllida1 [04:57] gryllida1: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:57] sebsebseb: whenever I install an app, it asks me for a password [04:57] sebsebseb: whenever I install an app, it asks me for a password -where do I set it? [04:57] gryllida1: Don't set a root password. The root account has no password and is disabled for direct logins. [04:57] dde: well I just ran it from browser [04:57] gryllida1: yes it asks for the user account password, the one in the sudo file === freevryheid is now known as fvs [04:57] gryllida1: that is your password [04:57] gryllida1: It's your user password. [04:57] celeritas, now what? [04:57] Sereph, how? [04:58] gryllida1: the idea is to have a log of which account requested root access for 'task X' [04:58] Kamilion, how would it know what settings to use? just try dhcp on all interfaces, or a static option in grub.conf? [04:58] gryllida1: you can change it in that app as well I guess, but I would use the termianl to change the password :) [04:58] had the option to open with java or save it [04:58] dde: doy ou have sun java or openjdk? [04:58] Sereph, both [04:58] gryllida1: or recovery modes root prompt if forgotton and can't log in to Ubuntu at all :D [04:58] Kamilion, i haven't played with grub2 networking at all [04:58] someone please help me out with festival on karmic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1501212 [04:58] gryllida1: now that your not in your second account, you can easily change the password for it [04:58] codebrainz: Unfortunately, I think grub2 requires a pxe stack for the network support during boot time. [04:58] sebsebseb: so whenever I install a new app, I just put current user's password? [04:59] dde: which one is it running with [04:59] gryllida1: yes you put in the password for the user that is set up to use sudo [04:59] con-man try pulling the 8169 files out of the modules directory [04:59] or at least an undi driver [04:59] celeritas, I have no idea what that means [04:59] gryllida1: and was telling you how to set it up so your other account will be able to use sudo [04:59] Sereph, i dont know. how do i find out [04:59] Kamilion, you could do it early in the kernel, but would slow it way down on boot, so only if absolutely needed [04:59] anyone else know how to do this? [04:59] I only have sun java [05:00] but yeah, if grub2 can get an UNDI driver loaded for your card, it should be able to dhcp and attempt a NTP sync against A: the NTP option field in the DHCP response, or B: pool.ntp.org [05:00] dde: i have this choose-java is aliased to `c; for Java_Alternative in java keytool orbd rmid rmiregistry; do sudo update-alternatives --config "$Java_Alternative"; done' [05:00] gryllida1: are you happy with the user name of the other account [05:00] gryllida1: or do you want a new user name as well? [05:00] no [05:00] Kamilion, i saw a bunch of net drivers somewhere in grub's source iirc [05:00] that's fine [05:00] they come from gpxe (was etherboot) [05:00] sebsebseb: I made the second user be 'administrator' and will just log into it [05:01] gryllida1: so done the graphical stuff now for the other account yes? [05:01] and use it [05:01] Sereph, do i enter that into the terminal? could you put in quotes what i have to enter exactly? [05:01] dde: that is in my .bash_profile [05:01] gryllida1: right, but you want the password changed? [05:01] sebsebseb: I made it be admin, it has everything except for audio device usage ticked [05:01] gryllida1: you can have both accounts, and they both can do sudo, doesn't matter [05:01] sebsebseb: why would I change the password? [05:01] con-man, modprobe the r8169 module out [05:01] Well, more to the point, grub2's networking (network *booting*) support is accomplished by pretty much just embedding gpxe. [05:01] gryllida1: I thought you wanted to, you put something earlier [05:02] sebsebseb: I'll keep the 1st account to log into it as a way of recovery in case the second user account breaks [05:02] dde: put in .bash_profile "alias choose-java=`c; for Java_Alternative in java keytool orbd rmid rmiregistry; do sudo update-alternatives --config "$Java_Alternative"; done'" [05:02] con-man, should be something like modprobe -r r8169 [05:02] gryllida1: ok sure [05:02] Hey - there is this weird network-manager feature/bug which makes it run only for a single user and this is VERY annoying (only one user can use the net at same time :/) [05:02] without the double quotes on the ends [05:02] Sereph, where is .bash_profile? [05:03] dde: in your home directory generally, it may not exist though [05:03] jasonmchristos: u seem to have a LOT of dependcy problems! [05:04] Kamilion: That actually sounds like a feature that upstream grub might be willing to add. You should propose it. [05:04] whats the best GUI disk space usage visualiser [05:04] i notice most of the ones in linux wont show files which is annoying [05:04] T1750: There is Disk Usage Analyzer [05:04] T1750: Baobab is good enough IMO [05:05] T1750: Default one [05:05] hey anyone using kernel 2.6.33 on a thinkpad x201? [05:05] T1750: Guparted will show all [05:05] Normally it's impolite to propose features like that without at least offering some token code that can be improved upon. [05:05] or anyone using a thinkpad x201 [05:05] T1750, press then: gksu baobab [05:05] And unfortunately; I'm a full time sysadmin so I don't really have time to code or support said code. [05:05] rafaelsoaresbr: It doesn't need sudo AFAIK [05:05] Sereph, that didn't fix it [05:05] can i get some help with a Creative Zen W player please? [05:05] Kamilion, include/grub/net.h looks like a dummy template where someone has started on getting actual networking working [05:06] theadmin, it does not work well without admin privilegies [05:06] hello, my usb was ruined by some windows virus and it changed the file system label to something that mounted looks like thiss: [05:06] sebsebseb: hi?

[05:08] ... Um... Why are you writing a bootloader? [05:08] 100% Psychedelic Trance - Get your stomp on!

Proprietary software is made by professional software developers with real skills, while your GNU stuff is made by neckbeards living in their parents basements. You seem to think that software is made better by everyone being able to look at, and modify the source code of it. How many of you have actually contributed to a proper open source project? Not many I bet. So what ... [05:15] hi anybody out there had any success getting sony vaio graphics working properly with lucid? Mine won't work with nvidia graphics [05:15] Gryllida: ok wikipedia page says platform Python [05:15] ... is so great about being able to view the source code of your programs if you're not going to do anything with it?

[05:21] soreau: ok, to be more specific, I have a sony vaio f115, I have limited graphics resolution with the nuveau driver. My boss fixed it about 2 weeks ago then I updated something and broke [05:21] it [05:21] nomad: ~/.xchat2 <-- just put them directly in this folder [05:21] Hey, what is this program normally used for? [05:21] Gryllida: however Ubuntu uses a lot of Python [05:21] con-man, let's try to blacklist the r8169 module and force the kernel to use the r8168 module for the nic [05:21] theadmin: yay translators! [05:21] Ubuntu_and_Coffe, np [05:21] Gryllida: and wikipedia said platform Python, however not been on the offical site yet [05:21] sad thing was, ohayo was a fedora user (CTCP versioned him, x-chat on FC13) [05:22] soreau: and we can't remember exactly what the fix was. [05:22] celeritas, how do we do that [05:22] lol [05:22] Kamilion: hahaha [05:22] So apparently I have all versions of python installed, but it defaults to 2.6. How can I make 3.1 the default? [05:22] doormat81: thatll likely break a lot of stuff... [05:22] doormat81: python2 and python3 are *NOT* compatible [05:22] con-man, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 obviously not the pc speakers. use r8169 instead [05:22] Gryllida: ok wikipedia also says its cross platform :) [05:22] doormat81, you probably don't want to do that [05:22] Fedora huh? [05:23] marcolus36: Well you have a few options. 1) You can look in your X log to see if you notice anything obvious 2) You can pastebin it so others can view it 3) Ask in #nouveau (they probably will want your X log too) 4) Google some guide for installing the proprietary nvidia driver [05:23] Gryllida: ok read that wrong, operating system cross platform, platform python [05:23] soreau sorry for the noob question but is that in places home or where? [05:23] Sereph, i keep getting like 40 errors telling me all these files dont exist [05:23] maco, however, I'm trying to learn python programming and the book I'm reading uses 3.1. I need to enter 'python3.1' every time to run my code? [05:23] celeritas, Im really tired but you've done so much, I will pick this up later [05:23] celeritas, you da man [05:23] hello [05:23] marcolus36, my vaio graphics work fine, but i have the ati (on purpose) :) [05:23] celeritas, keep up the good work my friend [05:23] con-man, hope it works out [05:24] get this error wen i try to hash check a torrent http://paste.ubuntu.com/446445/ please help needed [05:24] nomad: ~/ means $HOME, which will be the equivalent of /home/$USER [05:24] sebsebseb: their download/install instructions are overkill at their website [05:24] doormat81, i think you can use virtualenv for this [05:24] soreau: it also means $HOME [05:24] doormat81: You can use a hashbang line to specify the interpreter -- #!/usr/bin/python3.1 [05:24] Gryllida: no they aren't [05:24] lol [05:24] Gryllida: you would have to compile it from source though for Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution it seems [05:24] Sereph: isn't that what i said? [05:24] hey anyone know how to connect to a mac out of xubuntu [05:24] Sereph, i keep getting like 40 errors telling me all these files dont exist [05:24] using an ethernet [05:24] oops my bad [05:25] Gryllida: what is it your second day on Ubuntu? [05:25] thank you very much soreau and Sereph [05:25] ive had it bout a week [05:25] can someone teach me how to upstream the installation script error in the karmic festival package [05:25] se http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1501212 [05:25] soreau: thanks, http://pastebin.org/317501 for my log files. [05:25] Kamilion, ah, that'll work. Didn't realize so much had changed between v2 and v3. But is 3 becoming the standard or should I focus on learning 2.6 instead? [05:25] dde: not entirely sure whats not existing.... but i dont know any other way to do it [05:25] doormat81: you could put the path to 3.1 in your #! and then use ./myprog.py instead of using the "python" command [05:25] how many people are here? jeeze [05:25] sebsebseb: yes second day. [05:25] Gryllida: most programs you can get from the repos, easilly downoad and install them, but not everything [05:25] doormat81: They say it's not ready yet [05:25] kzona1600: lots :) [05:25] it's true === r2d2 is now known as Guest52459 [05:25] dde: try this... alias 'choose-java'='c; for Java_Alternative in java keytool orbd rmid rmiregistry; do sudo update-alternatives --config "$Java_Alternative"; done' [05:25] this is reall TICKING ME OFF [05:25] codebrainz, thanks ;-) not sure how that helps but ... yeah. [05:26] er... [05:26] I got a postcard from him [05:26] this is really insane [05:26] im new to this [05:26] cause we had boned [05:26] theadmin, but still worth learning it if this is my first venture into linux programming? [05:26] wow i forgot how cool midnight commander is [05:26] :) [05:26] FreetodrinkSR: Please don't pm me [05:26] dde: try this... c; for Java_Alternative in java keytool orbd rmid rmiregistry; do sudo update-alternatives --config "$Java_Alternative"; done [05:26] doormat81: py2 isnt going away any time soon. they're going to be developed in parallel [05:26] doormat81: "Both" -- the differences with 3.x and 2.6 are fairly minor; and some of the 3.x syntax is already being backported to 2.6. Keep in mind, most of the embedded python interpreters you'll run across will be 2.5 or 2.6 based. [05:26] Gotcha. [05:26] doormat81: I'm learning Python2... goes fine so far [05:26] O_O [05:26] marcolus36, hehee. sorry [05:26] Hallö [05:26] /home/nomad/.xchat2 so just add my script into that folder ? [05:26] Gryllida: I don't tend to compile programs for Ubuntu, install from source, its not that difficult to do, but guideing complete newbies to do that hrm [05:26] FreetodrinkSR: So you're chrooting. From what to what? (elaborate0 [05:26] sounds too easy [05:26] good evening. I have mysql installed but I was wondering if there is an amazing easy guide or site out there to install say lamp with working dns so I can add ns1/ns2 domain.com and also even be able to do dns subdomains like s2.domain.com to other ips and such............ =) [05:26] * Sereph hides from h00k [05:26] T1750: MC really rocks [05:27] and i thought i was smart with computers, i think i still have a shit load to learn, O_o [05:27] hufx: i hadn't used it in about like 10 years [05:27] soreau: Ubuntu Live CD to Ubuntu Partition. I need to update/re-install grub. [05:27] Kane_Hart, see google.com [05:27] Ok so Gryllida wants to install sage however it seems he would have to install from source, and its only his second day with Ubuntu, anyone want to help him? [05:27] doormat81: I would personally just learn python 3 [05:27] installed it because i wanted a progress bar and had a look around, it's awesome [05:27] sebsebseb: ok I'll do it, no problem [05:27] Gryllida: I want to go soon in fact [05:27] Kamilion, maco, theadmin, well the app I'm planning to develop is only for my use so I should be good, right? [05:27] !lamp | Kane_Hart [05:27] Kane_Hart: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:27] why am i recommending google, i hate google now [05:27] doormat81: Yeah, then [05:27] Iḿ using Windows 7; Does anybody know how to Dual-Boot Ubuntu with it? [05:27] Sereph, c: command not found [05:27] i do [05:27] T1750: Its wasent around 10 yrs ago! [05:27] doormat81: yep! Still a good idea to be aware of the differences though. [05:28] * Sereph is lost [05:28] Okay... thank you everyone ( Jordan_U, theadmin, maco Kamilion) [05:28] sebsebseb: no problem, just I did not know why it was absent in the repo, I'll handle it I think [05:28] ive done it without wubi [05:28] Corruption: Sure thing, uh, do you have Win7 or Ubuntu installed now? [05:28] if anyone wants to help Gryllida install sage from source feel free to, only his second day with Ubuntu, and I want to go soon. http://www.sagemath.org/download.html [05:28] hufx: yes it was it was called NORTON commander :P [05:28] !grub2 | Corruption [05:28] Corruption: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic.

[05:28] Corruption: Great, just repartition the hard drive, put Ubuntu on the second partition and you're free to go [05:28] dde: should work just fine. it works for me [05:29] Gryllida: there might be instructions in the download, you extract it, and then run a few commands, to install basicalley [05:29] lol im still on Ubuntu 7.04 [05:29] T1750: yeah bit that was for windoz folks [05:29] Jordan_U: I'll try it, thank you. [05:29] sebsebseb: thank you for the user account explanation, I develop firefox addons, not that I'm completely new to technical things, just it'd be a bit slow [05:29] dde: what shell do you use?

My current situation is an unstable connection until I disable wireless, manually set power setting to off (iwconfig) and then reenable wireless [05:29] Sereph, gnome terminal [05:29] FreetodrinkSR: You're welcome [05:29] I used the Disk management utility to partition 20 Gb of it; but When I get to step 5 I believe it is during installation; I don´t know exactly what to set it to. [05:29] Gryllida: sometimes it can be a good idea to download some programs that help with compliing as well [05:29] Corruption: Excuse me? [05:29] Gryllida: well some account stuff I left out, since wasn't that relivent for the issue [05:30] kzona1600: that version isn't supported anymore [05:30] Gryllida: if at all [05:30] !7.04 | kzona1600 [05:30] kzona1600: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu.

[05:32] marcolus36: It says it failed to init the nvidia kernel module. Can you check the output of 'lsmod|egrep "nouveau|nvidia"|grep -v grep' to see which module (if any) is loaded?

[05:44] its saying the opperation is not supported === andrew_ is now known as Guest11204 [05:45] Kamilion, I couldn't agree more :) [05:45] andrew_: pastebin.com/org or pastie.org work fine [05:45] i cant keep up with your guys typing rofl [05:45] lol [05:45] ckhikuzad: bindkey [05:45] kzona1600: I guess your card/driver doesn't support power modes then [05:45] well it was worth a try [05:45] any one? help with 10.04 [05:45] @soreau thanks [05:46] My ubuntu still wont connect to the internet [05:46] kzona1600: The first real step to take is figuring out what the problem is exactly [05:46] soreau, which would be....odd...but again, I suppose I've seen stranger [05:46] it could be the router [05:46] i guess [05:46] kzona1600: Do you see anything interesting in the output of 'dmesg' after going to battery and wifi doesn't work? [05:46] ALthough I downloaded fwcutter, dkps, and bcmwl-kernel, ubunti still wont connect to the internet [05:47] dmesg??? [05:47] kzona1600: Yes, dmesg is a way to dump your entire kernel log, since you booted [05:47] is there a repo that includes skype? [05:47] kiamo: yes [05:47] how do i look at that? [05:47] kzona1600: Should give technical info as well as info about modules it's using [05:48] epin8r, which one? medibuntu repos dont have skype [05:48] kzona1600: Simply type 'dmesg' in your terminal [05:48] Should I download ubuntu 64 bit? [05:48] out [05:48] Piccolo48: For what target cpu? [05:48] Am I less likely to have internet problems if I download 64 bit ubuntu? [05:48] looks normal too me [05:49] Piccolo48: Not particularly less likely. You would have to try it. What problem are you having with internet? [05:49] kzona1600: Well that was my only idea [05:50] It wont even detect the wirlesss network. I thought it was because I had a broadcom, but even downloading the appropriate packages for that did not fix it [05:50] hey soreau how do i measage people personaly? [05:50] Piccolo48: You probably did it wrong [05:50] Piccolo48: Try again [05:50] ! broadcom | Piccolo48 [05:50] Piccolo48: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:50] I already did that [05:50] kzona1600: /msg personal message [05:50] someone gave me the same advice and I followed it overkill [05:51] ummm [05:51] Hey everyone new to this whole thing wanting to try ubuntu have copied the image to cd and tried rebooting but keep getting stuck any ideas? [05:51] i just typed it [05:51] Piccolo48: I do not know enough about broadcom to help but I know it takes extra effort to get it working from what I've heard [05:52] and nothing happend [05:52] kzona1600: substitute with the real nick of the nick you're trying to pm [05:52] ! pm | kzona1600 [05:52] kzona1600: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [05:52] My guess is that there is a flat out bug here [05:52] Polly55, you have to burn the image, not copy it to cd [05:52] but ok, ill figure it out myself like I should. Thanks for that guide though I should reread it [05:53] ok yeah sorry bad terminology [05:53] im pretty sure that is what i have done [05:53] Polly55, is it booting up? [05:53] gets to a screen thats mostly black [05:54] but with a keyboard looking picture and small man in a circle down the bottom of the screen [05:54] then it just stops [05:54] Im really confused i know what to do but someone just told me not to, im new to ubuntu and a freind told me to use this program if i had any questions, but its really confuseing [05:54] ahhhh === karthik is now known as Guest86057 [05:54] kzona1600: You will get it ;) [05:55] Polly55, so you can choose a language and keyboard layout? [05:55] once I create swap will ubuntu pick up on it right away or does it needa reboot [05:55] Polly55: How long did you wait at splash screen? [05:55] ok, i sure hope so [05:55] kzona1600: told you not to do what [05:55] could anyone please help me with jnpl files [05:55] it let me choose the language once [05:55] they give me 60 errors when i try to run them [05:56] left it on the splash screen for about 30 mins [05:56] to PM people without permission, but how can i do that if i dont know what im doing [05:56] lol [05:56] Polly55: And pressing enter a couple times does not start the disc? [05:56] kzona1600, try opening a terminal, typing 'iwconfig', then copy/paste the results to ubuntu.pastebin.com and then post your pastebin URL to the channel [05:56] I want to see some information about your wireless card [05:56] yeah dont pm people without permission ;), makes it hard for others to enter the conversation :) [05:56] okay? ill try that [05:56] the disc seems to be running but i didnt press any keys [05:57] ok I would just like to know, how do you run a jnlp file [05:57] Polly55: The splash screen is only the loader... try pressing enter a couple times [05:57] ok ill give that a shot thanks heaps!!! [05:58] should tht happen before or after i select language [05:58] after [05:58] ok well its happening before [05:58] it should show a small menu "try ubuntu" or something similar [05:58] yeah dont get that t ll [05:58] How can I installed multimedia support on Lubuntu 10.04? On Ubuntu I would just install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and there also also *buntu-restricted-extras packages for Kubuntu and Xubuntu. What do I need to get multimedia support on Lubuntu? [05:58] Is there a good tutorial in seting up 10.4. [05:58] at all* [05:58] Polly55, make sure to boot from the cdrom [05:58] might have gotten a bad disc; there should be an option in that menu to "verify CD", usually takes a little while if you select it. [05:59] OK I GOT IT :D [05:59] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2Rc3D5h [05:59] yay [05:59] Polly55, and as Kamilion said, it takes some time, after language selection and menu it takes a few minutes to boot ub the livecd [05:59] hey everyone. quick question. I just installed dgen genesis emulator from the software center and have no idea where it installed to? [05:59] How can I installed multimedia support on Lubuntu 10.04? On Ubuntu I would just install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and there also also *buntu-restricted-extras packages for Kubuntu and Xubuntu. What do I need to get multimedia support on Lubuntu? [06:00] alright, are you on that wireless connection now, or are you on the wired connection? [06:00] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2Rc3D5h [06:00] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2Rc3D5h [06:00] alex5454, try 'whereis dgen' [06:00] alex5454: I think dgen's a commandline program, you need a frontend or just alt-f2 'dgen' [06:00] problem is im not getting lnguge selection [06:00] Hi there. Anyone here that could tell me, if it's possible to backup only the data from a partition with dd? [06:01] alex5454, dpkg -L dgen [06:01] X5X: So far there is no special package for it, go with ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:01] Neroon: Nope, DD is a stream dump, doesn't do filtering. [06:01] Neroon: I would suggest tar [06:02] theadmin: okay thanks [06:02] kzona1600, now do the same for 'sudo lspci' [06:02] Polly55: Press any key early in the boot process of the LiveCD and you will get a boot menu. One of the options is to check the disk for defects (from a bad burn/scratches). Can you try that option? [06:02] Kamilion: I almost thought so ... thanks. And tar even works with the partition with the system folders in it? [06:02] ok [06:03] Neroon: I think you need to specify -p in there somewhere to preserve permissions; and you need to --exclude /dev and /sys and /proc... [06:03] Kamilion: The thing is, i accidently installed lucid on a 50gb partition, cause i thought it was a 10gb only ... [06:04] yeah, dd will give you a 50GB file. [06:04] what is the linux mint channel? [06:04] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/t9qyLQeT [06:04] ther [06:04] Kamilion: No, i want to delete that partition and install it on a smaller one [06:04] Maarten: ##linuxmint [06:04] ah [06:04] thanks :) [06:05] lol 3 people there :P [06:05] Neroon: If you havn't made many changes; you should be safe to just tarball up your homedir with sudo tar -cvf /home/username.tar /home/username [06:05] 4th [06:05] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/t9qyLQeT [06:06] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/t9qyLQeT [06:07] ok...try installing this package: linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [06:07] Neroon: then you can just copy that tarball off somewhere and kill the partition, and use the CD to reinstall. Then just extract the tarball on the new install. [06:08] it seems that there are reports of that fixing various and sundry wireless issues on your card [06:08] Kamilion: Sorry. Neroon here. Got disconnected ... [06:08] Sereph, do you think this could have been caused by the fact that about 5kb of my hdd is corrupted? === Sup1|Lobby is now known as SuP|Lobby [06:08] h0rnman: Where'd you run across that one? Sounds like it might be useful on one of my laptops. [06:08] i dont think my card was made for linux anyway lol [06:08] i got this puter wif Windows XP on it [06:09] Kamilion: Could you resednd the last message, please? [06:09] its the standard wireless backport driver package...it gets thrown around here and there on the forums [06:09] Shambler: If you havn't made many changes; you should be safe to just tarball up your homedir with sudo tar -cvf /home/username.tar /home/username && chown username.username /home/username.tar [06:09] Shambler: then you can just copy that tarball off somewhere and kill the partition, and use the CD to reinstall. Then just extract the tarball on the new install. [06:09] Kamilion: Thanks. I know that, but the changes aren [06:09] ok what was thw backport cmd??? [06:09] Kamilion: t limited to my home folder ... [06:09] kzona1600, go to terminal, type 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic' [06:10] kzona1600: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic [06:10] then reboot and try again [06:11] Shambler: It's always a poor idea to mess with directories outside your homedir. Unless you're talking about the packages you installed; and it's easy to backup that list of packages and ask the new install to reinstall them. [06:11] I think I remember reading somewhere in an investigation into my own wireless woes that part of the wireless stack was rewritten for Lucid. Since those Atheros cards have always been kinda off in Ubuntu, I figure rolling back some drivers may do the trick [06:12] Kamilion: It's not only that, but even reinstalling all the stuff really sucks with 384kbit/sec. That takes forever and a day [06:12] yea [06:12] Shambler: sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list [06:12] that's a fun one to type out. [06:12] Shambler, 56 k modem was far worse :P [06:12] Jordan_U: Thank you for the link bud. I'm happily back in my Ubuntu and the bootloader worked amazingly well. [06:13] kzona1600, also as an idea, if you're not committed to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), you could always download and install 9.10 (Karmic Koala) [06:13] Kamilion: I started with 14,4 k 16 years ago :-) [06:13] FreetodrinkSR: You're welcome. [06:13] Well, thanks guys i think im going to go to bed now, its like 1:12 ill fix it tommorw [06:13] kzona1600, I may end up going that route myself here soon [06:13] oh, ok [06:13] cool [06:14] Shambler: dump /var/cache/apt/archives/* somewhere on your network and restore it [06:14] Kamilion: I was just hoping ghost4linux would recognize the ext4 partition and could dump the data only to a .img file .... bad luck [06:14] night guys [06:14] Shambler: try partedmagic or gparted live for ext4 support. Clonezilla works too. [06:15] Kamilion: k. will give these a try then. and only if none of these work, i gotta do what i dont wanna do ... [06:15] Shambler: Look into partimage [06:15] >:'( can anyone please help me get my .jnlp file to work [06:15] acronis trueimage v13 series is the only commercial imager I know of that handles ext4 so far. [06:16] Jordan_U: Those livecds are mostly based on partimage. [06:16] Kamilion: Thanks a lot for your help. Gotta go to work [06:16] Cheers! [06:16] Kamilion: parted != partimage. [06:16] partedmagic.org -- IIRC this version or next version's ubuntu based anyway. [06:17] ack [06:17] com [06:17] alright [06:17] so [06:18] Shambler: Never mind, I just looked and was surprised to find that partimage still doesn't support ext4 :( [06:18] i need to do some modem to modem terminal [06:18] and http://derrick-caluag.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-setup-dial-in-server-on-linux.html is way outdated [06:18] Jordan_U: http://partedmagic.com/ The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and it's got a nice tmpfs setup. [06:19] Jordan_U: Too bad ... maybe clonezilla will be more usefull. C ya [06:19] can anyone hlep me translate the old guide into a bit of a newer, usable one? [06:19] boot it up and it loads into a ramdrive and spits out the cd. Handy. [06:19] mainly /etc/inittab is what kills it :/ [06:19] does Rythmbox not have a graphical equaliser? [06:20] is vuze opensource? [06:21] hey guys, i'm following this guide.. pretty much to the t http://openmindedbrain.info/09/05/2010/undervolting-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lts/ for some reason when i get to the cat part.. its not finding the file phc_default_vids which i believe is extracted from the modules when you do a make install.. - is there something i'm missing? [06:22] is there a macro tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or windows messaging? [06:23] its amazing any help is done with all this text here [06:23] rafaelsoaresbr: Sort of. The azureus shell is -- but AFAIK the vuze plugin and server-side webpages are not. [06:23] Kamilion: Do you happen to know what version of super grub disk they include? super grub disk isn't mentioned at all in http://partedmagic.com/programs.html (and there's at least one live distro using a really early version of super grub2 disk that's so old it's practically useless) [06:24] Jordan_U: Not sure, sec while I fire it up in vbox [06:24] HELO IZ ANYONE HURE???! [06:24] HOW 1Z GRUB2 BETTUR THAN GRUB????! [06:24] b1ff2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:25] o.O [06:25] google chrome in ubuntu 9.10 doesn't display unicode fonts [06:25] how to fix ? [06:26] install the new unicode fonts [06:26] ;p [06:26] update [06:28] Is there any way to "reset" the sound subsystem in Lucid without logging-out/restarting? No sound will play in anything and my mixer icon is "grayed out" as though it can't find an audio device. [06:29] U CAN RESTART EH SOUND SYSTEM WITH PULSEAUDIO -K [06:29] I think I may have made the mistake of trying to run two audio applications at once... (lot to ask from an i7 system) [06:30] Yusuke: how to update ? [06:30] which package [06:30] ? [06:30] b1ff2: good idea but didn't seem to work. I can't even kill pulseaudio [06:30] with killall [06:30] !caps | b1ff2 [06:30] b1ff2: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [06:30] bthornton: even using kill -9 ? [06:30] Jordan_U: There's two listed. Super Grub Disk 1 and Super Grub Disk 2. Super Grub Disk 1 is "0.97-os.1" [06:31] etrask: haven't tried... willl have to see which PID [06:31] okay kill -9 got it [06:31] I was ecstatic when I found the -9 switch. It basically doesn't "ask" the program to shutdown [06:32] okay so I killed pulseaudio and it respawned (which is fine I guess), but still no audio [06:32] Not too knowledgable in that area, sorry :( [06:32] one of the apps I was running was Amarok and it probably uses some different audio device which, I'm guessing, is competing with pulseaudio [06:32] 'cause that's about the point at which I lost sound. [06:33] .... And I booped up my grub4dos config to load supergrubdisk2 on this iso, can't get a version from it. Grabbing the normal ver... [06:33] etrask: ah, well thanks anyway [06:33] what does this mean? [06:33] You need to have at least your kernel-headers installed. [06:33] You also need the build essentials (gcc, libc, make, etc). [06:33] build essentials part.. [06:33] banker247, install build-essential [06:33] banker247: there is a package called build-essentials [06:33] contains the things you've listed there [06:34] is that prolly while my module i'm trying to make install isn't working properly? [06:34] !b-e [06:34] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:34] banker247, have you done step 1-3? [06:34] yea [06:35] i've gotten all the way to the part where you check the cat [06:35] and it doesn't find the file.. [06:35] banker247, in step 2 you install the sources and then you have to use the phc kernel [06:35] so i think its something to do with my package [06:35] right i'm in the kernel now [06:35] is anyone else having problems reaching security.ubuntu.com? [06:35] cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_default_vids [06:35] cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_default_vids: No such file or directory [06:35] this is where i'm at [06:35] hhm [06:36] so whats happneing is the phc_default_vids file.. is NOT being create [06:36] d [06:36] whats interesting is i did this before awhile back and its not working lol.. i just reinstalled linux [06:36] is there a system-wide graphic equaliser for Ubuntu? [06:36] so i thinki i'm missing osme kinda packages that make the make install work [06:37] banker247: install build-essential [06:37] is anyone else having problems reaching security.ubuntu.com? [06:37] banker247, but you have the script loaded, right? [06:37] Flannel its installed i just reinstalled it [06:37] zetheroo: several, but they're all pains to install. [06:37] banker247: then you should be able to compile fine [06:37] banker247, the script he wrote, http://openmindedbrain.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/intel-phc-undervolt.bash [06:37] Kamilion: hmm ok [06:38] ubutom i'm not running the script i already know my undervolt settings [06:38] banker247, I guess you have to execute that first before there is any phc_default_vids file [06:38] oh really? [06:38] banker247, as i said, a guess [06:38] zetheroo: they rely on doing weird things like setting jack up and using a LADSP eq plugin or other hackery like that. [06:38] because in the guide he sais.. after sudo make install then you check for the phc_default_vids [06:39] zetheroo: You might have better luck poking around in pulseaudio or finding a player with an eq like xmms2 used to have. [06:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504415 help please [06:39] Kamilion: yeah, no worries ... I was just hopeing there was something simple to install :) [06:39] banker247, so it fails at compiling.. hm [06:39] no it doesn't fail [06:39] Kamilion: I am just surprised that Rhythmbox doesn't have one still ... [06:39] zetheroo: I dunno if the pulseaudio utilities have an eq or not offhand. [06:39] zetheroo: it doesn't have a plugin for one? [06:40] ubutom i get good mesages durreing compile nothing crazy.. just that file isn't created [06:40] is security.ubuntu.com unreachable for anyone else right now? [06:40] ubutom which means the module doesn't install or somethin [06:40] Kamilion: not that I know of [06:40] hi guys [06:40] anyone in the house? [06:40] Is there a clipboard manager that works in ubuntu 10.04 [06:40] ? [06:41] zetheroo: http://code.google.com/p/rbeq/ [06:41] Tada. [06:41] geesh... [06:41] banker247, maybe it has to be loaded first, would try a reboot or starting the module manually, whcih i lack knowledge of right now ;) [06:41] the command that is [06:42] !flash [06:42] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:42] to load manually = 'sudo modprobe module-name' [06:42] Kamilion: found this ... http://www.lirmm.fr/~morandat/index.php/Main/Tools [06:42] banker247, something with modprobe, yea, what jmichaelx said :D [06:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/446464/ i can't hashcheck please help [06:43] what should i load with the modprobe?

[06:47] How do I add a factoid to ubottu? [06:47] Kamilion: /msg ubottu factoid is foo [06:48] Thanks! will use the keyword rbeq. [06:48] banker247: what cpu are you using? [06:48] core2duo [06:48] Kamilion: you going to add this as a factoid? [06:48] banker247: mobile core2duo? [06:48] yea [06:48] how can i move libflashplayer.so from my desktop to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins? please someone tell me how :( [06:48] whats wierd is.. i had this working before i just reinstalled linux on a new HD [06:49] and trying to get it setup again - i dont know if i'm missing some packages? to make this compile properly or whta [06:49] how to compile evolution? [06:49] banker247: what is the output for 'uname -r'? [06:49] phong_ it comes by default with ubuntu [06:49] ubottu: rbeq is the Rhythmbox 10-band Equalizer found at http://rbeq.googlecode.com/ -- easy to install, just extract to ~/.gnome2/ and enable the plugin in Rhythmbox! [06:49] 2.6.32-22-generic-phc [06:51] Hope that's a useful factoid for others :D [06:51] nits, wheer to run it then [06:51] banker247: and you did download the tarball, unpack it, and you ran make prepare, make, make install/? [06:51] jmichalx whats interesting is he sais.. if everything worked ou should see some numbers.. if ont restart and check back [06:51] yup [06:51] several times nowheh [06:51] phong_: alt+F2 type in evolution [06:51] however it does require someone to remember to ask for the rbeq keyword ;) [06:52] some one please help me i get error wen i hash check a torrent http://paste.ubuntu.com/446464/ please private message been posting here and the forums for about 2 and a half hours now [06:53] banker247: do you know what the name of the module is that you compiled? [06:53] nits: use a different torrent client that doesn't rely on the deprecated sha module in python? [06:53] how do i check that? [06:53] I would suggest deluge if you want a console UI. [06:54] did you not see a name after you ran make? [06:54] Kamilion: i use rtorrent and then bitlord in windows but it doesn't download [06:54] make/mae install* [06:54] make install** [06:54] whats the link for pastebin i'll show you all that happened [06:54] banker247: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [06:55] banker247: what output do you get from 'lsmod | grep phc' [06:55] My opinion is that you have poor taste in torrent clients ;) utorrent and deluge are in my opinion, the most useful clients due to their STUN-like firewall jumping abilities. [06:55] nothing [06:56] Kamilion: actually it worked until yesterday there was a stupid powercut and i've been having problems since [06:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/446470/ [06:56] Deluge has a nice client/server arch that uses a daemon to do the actual torrenting (and can continue after a logout) and your choice of frontends: console, gtk, and a nice webui. [06:56] nits: might try a fsck then? [06:57] so still having trouble trying ubuntu nd would love some help can get to the menu select try ubuntu then nothing happens any ideas? [06:57] Kamilion: How do i do a fsck for a ntfs please give me the full command [06:57] *snrtk* that's the one thing I've never gotten ubuntu to do. [06:57] whats strange is last time i thoght it didn't work too and i think i did it a couple times then it finally worked.. but i dont know what i did. [06:57] so i think this is an I D 10 T propblem .. lol [06:58] Kamilion: lol [06:58] Try a winpe based livecd, the modern 7 based ones are quite useful for that. [06:58] banker247: try running 'sudo modprobe phc-intel' [06:58] Thanks Kamilion will do that [06:58] banker247@banker247:~/Downloads/phc-intel-0.3.2-10$ sudo modprobe phc-intel [06:58] FATAL: Module phc_intel not found. [06:58] other than that, the best you can do from ubuntu is just mark it dirty for chkdsk on windows. [06:58] banker247: try running 'sudo modprobe phc-intel.ko' [06:58] will "shutdown -r now" reboot the system? [06:59] zetheroo: yes. [06:59] Kamilion: how do i do that? [06:59] ok [06:59] same FATAL errorr [06:59] weird eh [06:59] banker247: did you use a dash or an underscore? [06:59] - [06:59] i coppied you [07:01] nits: sec, nx is slow tonight [07:01] the main config files for samba are in /etc/samba/ right!? ... [07:01] banker247, try sudo modprobe -l | grep intel [07:01] Jordan_U: Super Grub Disk 2 is "1.96" [07:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/446472/ [07:03] banker247, yup, no phc in that list :( [07:03] Kamilion: Ugh, that's 2 year old grub code, and has almost no features. [07:03] is there program like top that sorts programs according to network activity? [07:03] banker247: try running 'sudo depmod -a' [07:03] for some reason it isn't seeing the module [07:03] Jordan_U: post it in the parted magic forums -- he's real quick about updating stuff like that. [07:03] Ok guys, I just booted the 10.04 live cd and my wireless keyboard and mouse are bluetooth and well there is no way to tell it to pair because it won't let me use them! What should I do? Usually if I pull the dongle and then reconnect it, it goes into RF mode but it's not doing it with 10.04 [07:04] ok it ran hung for asa ec then went back to prompt [07:04] Help linux users everywhere get iTunes by signing the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/itmslin/petition.html [07:04] Kamilion: Will do. [07:04] banker247: what output do you get now from 'lsmod | grep intel'? [07:04] Jordan_U: I'd do it myself; but I lack the domain knowledge you exhibit to be able to satisfy him.

[07:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/446474/ [07:05] this proftp stuff sucks [07:05] I can't get it like making users [07:05] Not sure how that would work, UbuntuBoy, considering none of apple's libraries are availalable on linux. [07:05] is there a macro tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or windows messaging? [07:06] hi i have an issue with my xampp. i keep getting this another mysql daemon is running whenever i restart my computer. i ran ps aux |grep mysql i get the following http://paste.ubuntu.com/446473/ this process pid 897 keeps starting up. how do i make sure it doesnt starts all the time? is it because i chose automatically start programs in my startupservice? [07:06] Ok guys, I just booted the 10.04 live cd and my wireless keyboard and mouse are bluetooth and well there is no way to tell it to pair because it won't let me use them! What should I do? Usually if I pull the dongle and then reconnect it, it goes into RF mode but it's not doing it with 10.04 [07:06] Besides, this is steve jobs we're talking about here -- he's more apt to give you the finger and laugh about it than port itunes ;) [07:06] dde: possible not entirely sure [07:07] jmichaelx maybe i'm missing a package? and its not correctly placing the modules? [07:07] nits: ntfsfix /dev/sdX [07:07] Kamilion: Well I'm sure Apple can figure out someway to do it. [07:07] Kamilion: i just put it into the terminal and that's it? [07:07] UbuntuBoy, Apple has no desire to port iTunes to Linux [07:08] UbuntuBoy: There's a big different between 'can figure out' and 'give you the finger for asking'. Apple's of the latter. [07:08] nits: yeah, that should mark it as needing a check; if you boot windows on that machine, it should automatically force a disk check. [07:09] ubutom_: how'd you know that? did you work for Apple or something. [07:09] Kamilion: Thanks :) [07:09] UbuntuBoy, what would they have from that? decreasing sells of apple hardware, and they don't want that. [07:09] banker247: right now i am at a loss as to what to tell you. [07:09] Hello people! I have a server supporting some mysql databases and I can't seem to get the scheduled backup working. Where can I check what went wrong? [07:10] UbuntuBoy: I'm an apple shareholder, live in the bay area, and have met (and gotten flamed by) steve jobs. (and hung around with woz too while doing some volunteer work at the computer history museum) [07:10] i'm reading this [07:10] http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=204 [07:10] I can pretty much tell you flat out: Not going to happen. [07:10] does anybody know if aliiance vlsi is available on ubuntu? [07:11] Ok guys, I just booted the 10.04 live cd and my wireless keyboard and mouse are bluetooth and well there is no way to tell it to pair because it won't let me use them! What should I do?

[07:12] When trying to boot gimp. [07:12] how do you mount an .iso in ubuntu? [07:12] ubutom_: what really would decrease their sales is releasing iTunes for Windows which they have done [07:12] Nvidia gfx card, with Xinerama [07:12] And I can tell you why too: Apple has a very tight lifecycle. When they say something's deprecated or obsolete, they mean it. Poof, it's *gone*. They control the hardware, the default software, and have a nice little lockgrip on their elitist niche. Which I appreciate (hence why I'm a shareholder) [07:12] what do i do, every time i open html file, i cannot see č,š,ž in gedit,leafpad, etc... [07:12] is anyone else having issues reaching security.ubuntu.com when try to do updates? [07:13] Anyway, I'll shut my yap now ;) [07:13] UbuntuBoy, nope, windows has a large user base, it's all about money [07:13] If they don't have total control over something, they don't do it. Period. [07:13] UbuntuBoy, besides, if it wasn't available for Windows, noone with a windows box would buy ipods [07:14] and missing that 99% of the market would be a foolish move. Missing our 3% of the market will not be. [07:14] Kamilion: okay from your experience with Apple, you don't think Apple would consider it? [07:15] UbuntuBoy, lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic please [07:15] Nope. Zero chance. Not until chromeos hits *millions* of netbooks. [07:15] hi i have an issue with my xampp. i keep getting this another mysql daemon is running whenever i restart my computer. i ran ps aux |grep mysql i get the following http://paste.ubuntu.com/446473/ this process pid 897 keeps starting up. how do i make sure it doesnt starts all the time? is it because i chose automatically start programs in my startupservice? [07:15] We have no market and barely any marketing. [07:16] good grief, one more time... is there anyone else that is having issues reaching security.ubuntu.com when try to do updates? [07:16] hello [07:16] please help. i have asked many times today. i have not received any responses. [07:16] how could I watch mms feed with .asx file? I can't seem to play them in Ubuntu [07:16] Zeu5, xamp is not supported, see lamp [07:16] !lamp | Zeu5 [07:16] Zeu5: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:16] i dont even know what xamp is :) [07:16] !xamp === Zed` is now known as Zed [07:17] Zeu5: #ubuntu has always been a zoo, more or less [07:17] hi bazhang, its called lampp in my /opt/lampp [07:17] Docteh, mp3 player like winamp [07:17] Well thanks, I'm going to keep trying to get iTunes for Linux. [07:17] Zeu5, install from the repos, no need to be in /opt [07:17] Zeu5: yes, you can disable the mysqld from system startup with update-rc.d IIRC [07:17] how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option.. [07:18] jmichaelx: I'm not having any issues with security.ubuntu.com. [07:18] Kamilion: where is system startup? [07:18] ubutom_: i thought thats xmms [07:18] Zeu5: /etc/init.d or /etc/init [07:18] lol, yeah, Docteh , just seen it, omg [07:18] Kamilion: ty, i appreciate the response. for some reason it isn't working for me. [07:19] jmichaelx: got anywhere you can SSH to and test from a remote location? [07:19] Hello all! How can I fix this error message: "no such file or directory" [07:19] Kamilion: there is no mysqld inside my /etc/inti.d [07:19] haardz, make a adirectory there then :D [07:19] indus, let me try it [07:19] haardz, you are trying to search for something which is not there [07:19] lol [07:19] xampp is a web server , worked quite well for a little site i made a while ago [07:19] Kamilion: yes, i could. i guess that would have been a quicker means to troubleshooting this [07:19] !icon [07:19] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [07:20] indus, actually is there [07:20] Zeu5: perhaps you should try sysv-rc-conf then? [07:20] haardz, ok [07:20] Kamilion: tks i go try [07:20] sorry for asking again, but I've tried using mysql administrator to schedule weekly backups for my sql databases, but it's not working. How should I schedule weekly backups for my sql databases in that case? [07:20] indus: how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option.. [07:21] indus, dont work :/ [07:21] indus: how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option.. [07:22] hotfloppy, use smaller icons [07:22] hotfloppy, smaller icon set i mean [07:23] hotfloppy, but iam not much into customization, you can read some online guides [07:23] Eugene89, set up a crontab to run mysqldump [07:23] hotfloppy, but unless someone creates a diff size icon, you wont get it [07:23] *sigh* I came into the channel asking for help; in vbox 3.2.4 my lucid 64 server was going bonkers during the install, checked my md5sums, did the iso verify, etc etc etc... ten times this afternoon it broke. Another four times tonight. Now -- same iso, same vbox, same settings, no changes, I just got a successful install. ARRRRRRGH! [07:24] Kamilion: i ssh'd into a server at work, and security.ubuntu.com repo is not reachable from there, either [07:24] Kamilion: what kind of bonkers [07:24] Kartagis, would that allow my backup to run without logging in? [07:24] Eugene89, yes [07:24] jmichaelx, must be down then [07:24] jmichaelx: I get directed to auckland.canonical.com; and WFM [07:25] sec, SSHing to work... [07:25] anyone able to link me to like dns/lamp setup.. I got lamp working and ftp working and my site working my next thing I want to do is add just 1 domain with working dns so like mysite.com to my ip but not sure how. Anyone able to help me.. I get 2 ip's too [07:25] jmichaelx, ok i ping it, i have packet loss [07:25] indus: thanks. i think i should post this issue on Ubuntu brainstorm.. [07:25] Kartagis, Thanks. I will read up more on crontab [07:25] hotfloppy, brainstorm? i dont think this wil be approvied [07:25] ok, interesting. ty for the feedback. [07:25] Kane_Hart: if your ip is not static you'll want to have dns hosted somewhere else [07:26] how do you source a file? [07:26] ... Okay, I'm seeing packetloss from work. (That's NASA Ames, directly on the MAE WEST interchange.) Something is indeed amiss, jmichaelx. [07:26] is there a macro/scripting tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or Window message? [07:26] Docteh this a dedicated server [07:26] and its static [07:26] hmm [07:26] I got like 5 ips lol [07:26] ok [07:27] Kane_Hart: I've got a nice lucid nginx howto for php+rails with passenger... [07:27] Eugene89, no problem. the command you need to run is mysqldump -uuser -ppass [database] > db.sql [07:27] hello [07:27] tbh don't know one word you just said besides php :P [07:27] I just have lamp/ftp all working just want domain working :P [07:28] indus: really? i think if they implementing the option to easily change the desktop icon size would be nice.. anyways, thanks.. [07:28] may I ask you a queston?????? [07:28] Kane_Hart: unless you're using somethinh fancy to manage virtualhosts, any old uh hmm, bind/named tut should work [07:28] Kartagis, What about to store it in a certain directory? Or would you kindly direct me somewhere which would have all the information? Sorry for troubling you [07:28] Kane_Hart: If you're not hosting your own DNS and neither is your webhost; you might try freedns.afraid.org [07:29] Eugene89, mysqldump -uuser -ppass [database] > /path/to/db.sql [07:29] would [07:29] namecheap have it [07:29] ok if I run dns elsewhere like namecheap [07:29] Yes, but it depends if you've set it up to use it. [07:29] how do I make it so when points to server ip [07:29] Kane_Hart: step one is to log in to where you set your nameserver for the domain and try to assign it one of your ip addresses, that might require getting some guy (the techs) to do it [07:29] that the server accepts it to show that domain as the site [07:29] hey guys, ftp.df.lth.se is down "for a few days" (according to the 503 response) in case you didn't know [07:30] somebody help? [07:30] might want to take it off the ubuntu mirror rotation [07:30] Set an A record pointing from the name you want to the IP you're at. [07:30] oh. [07:30] Is there a program for ubuntu that shows running programs sorted to their network usage? [07:30] hotfloppy, well, if you mean , the one click will switch between icons of difff sizes, then its easy but if you want something that auto creates a smaller icon instead of stretch, then quite tough [07:30] * Connecting to irc.mvr.gamezlan.net (6667) [07:30] Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out) [07:30] ircd-hybrid [07:30] Okay, you need to tell apache which vhost to use or use *:80 [07:31] trijntje: I keep forgetting the name of the cool app that deals with that :( [07:31] try iptraf maybe [07:31] So, you need someone who knows apache2 vhost stuff. Sorry; I use nginx. [07:31] Kamilion: sounds like he just need a bind howto [07:31] indus: yes, i want those one click option :) so, will it get approve ? [07:32] Docteh: Nope, I've interpreted he has the A record, and lacks the apache vhost [07:32] ohhh [07:32] hotfloppy, how do i know :D [07:32] Docteh, ill try iptraf, give a call when the cool app comes to mind ;) [07:32] hotfloppy, i dont own canonical :) [07:32] indus: lol [07:32] " how do I make it so when points to server ip that the server accepts it to show that domain as the site" -- sounds like 'how do I set up apache2 vhosts" to me [07:32] trijntje: Docteh iptraf will do that... [07:32] oh i missed that [07:33] he posted it on two lines ;) [07:33] oops [07:33] i somehow blame my vga terminal for that [07:33] hotfloppy, good lucken [07:33] * Docteh steals a 20 === Guest86057 is now known as karthi [07:33] for me with nginx; I do: listen 80; server_name www.sllabs.com; [07:33] any of you guys suguest [07:33] hi all [07:34] how do you source a file/ [07:34] what do i do [07:34] indus: thanks buddy [07:34] rails guy? === UbuntuBoy is now known as FedoraLover52 [07:34] greezmunkey, looking through the docs now, do you have any pointers on how to make iptraf do that? [07:34] banker: in the terminal? "source whatever.sh" [07:34] any help ? after I update to ubuntu 10.04 I got this mesagge mounting none on /dev failed [07:35] hotfloppy, why dont you create a smaller icon set yourself [07:35] trijntje: you want it to track ip usabe by program/process? It does that out of the box. [07:35] hotfloppy, using some tool like inkscape, [07:35] fire it up and pick an interface [07:35] hotfloppy, but i think you can resize the icons using any graphic tool really, like gimp [07:36] iptraf [07:36] bah [07:36] hi.. how can i remove network manager from my DE without removing my DE i try sudo apt-get remove network-manager --purge but it said my DE will be romoved [07:36] carlitos__: is this vague error attached to something else? like not booting? the cdrom drive is trying to strangle you? ;) [07:36] wise_crypt, why do you want to remove it? [07:36] wise_crypt: fiddle with update-rc.d and disable it [07:37] hello, i try to install ubuntu 10.04 server editon , on step 4 prepare disk spaace i get nothing, what can be the problem here? [07:37] greezmunkey, Docteh, just found nethogs, does the exact thing I needed. Thanks for your help [07:37] Docteh: i have disabled it but it keeps showing [07:37] wise_crypt, I'm pretty sure you can easily remove the notification area icon if you want to [07:37] Hello [07:37] wise_crypt, do you want to just get rid of the applet or the whole manager? [07:37] trijntje: yeah, nethogs gives you overall stats, it's nice too. [07:37] R3cur51v3: i know i just want to do it manually without involving nm at all [07:38] I have this problem with facebook videos. I can never watch them in full length. what to do? [07:38] I can not access [07:38] :S [07:38] Q: I try to use webdav functionality from site webdav.mydrive.ch but i can download just the file not a hole direcotry with a files, what can be wrong ? [07:38] *it = my interface setting [07:38] wise_crypt: the NetworkManagerDispatcher maybe wont come home from work tonight? ;) [07:39] Docteh: hihihi [07:39] indus: actually, i want the option to resize the icon like in Kubuntu [07:39] Ooooh nethogs is just what i needed to sit next to htop! [07:39] indus: or maybe in Windoze [07:39] nm is buggy in every distro i have tried [07:40] its worked well enough for me, on servers i move it to /root since i'm lazy [07:40] works fine for me [07:40] damn RHEL [07:40] but it works great on my laptop [07:40] just sits there and does its thing, much harder to configure network without it :) [07:41] ya if your device is supported by the current kernel :P [07:41] not much harder [07:41] hi there! just tried to disable desktop-effects, in theory it looks good (checked "no desktop effects") but in reality the shadow-effect does not go away and the gnome task-switcher (alt-tab) does not come up... any hints how to reset gnome-settings in terms of "compiz" and "taskswitcher"? [07:41] I never seem to have any problems with network manager, from simple ethernet-only, most laptops we've bought with decent linux-supported wifi adapters and plenty of 3G devices. [07:42] hotfloppy, how is that option [07:42] hotfloppy, what can be done in k ubuntu [07:43] of course, since I do my research before I buy hardware, I expect it to work :P But hey -- have you considered swapping out your notebook's minipci wifi card with something that's supported? [07:43] lucky [07:43] most of my recent hardware has been cheapo stuff [07:43] Docteh: lol [07:44] The sad thing is; I've had better luck with linux supporting the cheaper stuff ;) [07:44] I've got a Q6600 with 1 gig of ram right now [07:44] 1GB, why ? [07:44] guys my question still stands [07:45] Kamilion, too true, the more common the chipset the better for Linux :) === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:45] wise_crypt: just bump off /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher === Remixman_ is now known as Remixman [07:45] wise_crypt: Hold on, lemme go find the gconf knob that hides the icon. [07:45] wise_crypt: or is it still showing without network manager actualyl running? [07:45] indus: in Kubuntu, you can resize all desktop icon size into smaller size with just one option / dialog box.. [07:46] it used to only show up if there was something to helpfull mismanager [07:46] oh, hey, I sort of realized... You could just install wicd -- that conflicts with network-manager [07:46] Kamilion: i can remove the icon if i want to, it removing nm i asked [07:46] hotfloppy, i think in ubuntu gconf editor might have a solution [07:46] should be an easier task removing wicd than NM. [07:47] bumb [07:47] how have you tried disabling it? [07:48] wise_crypt: I think you can do that, but it may raise hedoublehockeysticks with future updates. [07:48] if theres a networkmanager.conf in /etc/init rename that to blah.disabled? [07:48] greezmunkey: hmm [07:48] fpauser__: System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts "Move between windows, using a popup window" <---- check that [07:49] indus: checking the gconf-editor.. [07:49] indus: i'll be back here later.. [07:49] kk [07:50] Any repo that can give me emacs >= 23.2? [07:50] how do you unload acpi-cpufreq [07:50] hotfloppy, someeone has a brainstrom idea [07:50] hotfloppy, googled it [07:51] banker247: why do you want to remove it? [07:51] wise_crypt: sudo apt-get remove network-manager, according to quite a few posts. I suppose you can always reinstall if needed, later. [07:51] trying to undervolt [07:51] could try blacklisting it to prevent it from loading if you cant rmmod it [07:51] banker247: 'rmmod acpi-cpufreq' [07:51] is it possible for a non-root user to mount a remote NFS share? [07:51] * Sauron buenos dias [07:51] without suid mount [07:51] indus: i already search the brainstorm with "icon size" as a keyword, but has no luck.. [07:52] nsh: only if you specify user flag in fstab [07:52] hmm [07:52] greezmunkey: sudo apt-get remove network-manager --purge without purging ? [07:52] nsh: you could write your own setuid mount app that only takes the args you want [07:52] hotfloppy, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/12035/ [07:52] Docteh, fstab on the sharing machine? [07:52] i think mount() is a kernel call [07:52] nsh: fstab on the computer mounting [07:54] why do RTF files always ask how you want them to be opened ... even when the app has been set in Open With in properties ... ? [07:54] i can't see what the kernel can request from the remote machine over the network that a regular user couldn't, theoretically [07:54] i should read up the protocol i guses [07:55] nsh: here's my nfs client line: 10.10.10.250:/mnt/DumpSpace /media/bbdump nfs rw,soft,user,noauto 0 0 [07:55] nsh: i must have interpreted that question wrong [07:55] seems to me that RTF files are thought to be executable ... should not be ... is there a way to change this system-wide? [07:55] nsh: ports below 1024 require system user to open on linux/unix/etc, that might be part of it [07:56] oh, NFS checks the originating port, perhaps [07:56] for the RPC call [07:56] hotfloppy, ok found something [07:56] hotfloppy, [07:56] - Open up Nautilus. [07:56] - Select the edit menu [07:56] - Select the Perferences item [07:56] - Choose the view catagory [07:56] indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:56] - Under Icon View Defaults modify the Default Zoom Level [07:56] or requires the mounter to have an open port below 1024 to receive data on [07:56] that would make sense [07:56] indus: where is the other solution? :( by reading the comment, everyone suggesting the Nautilus preferences.. [07:56] ops.. [07:57] indus: i'm a slow typist.. [07:57] nsh: it also might just not care, nfs is known to be difficult to secure [07:57] hotfloppy, yea gconf editor > apps > nautilus > icon view thumbnail size [07:57] * nsh nods [07:57] nsh: I've got nautilus mount/umountable NFS drives on my karmic and lucid workstations right now with the above fstab line. [07:57] Kamilion, right [07:57] nfsv4 has some kerberos stuff but i dont know anything about kerberos [07:57] indus: i already get the nautilus preferences, but i want to change only the desktop icon size.. [07:57] * nsh reads up [07:58] hotfloppy, only desktop, hmm [07:58] indus: thats why i said "like the one in Kubuntu" [07:58] indus: in Kubuntu, they change only desktop icon size.. [07:58] hotfloppy, oh ok [07:59] hotfloppy, i guess only solution is manually cchange it [07:59] indus: but i love gnome :-( [07:59] if i could find a filesystem where different computers share the block device but dont thwomp on each others files as a curticy I'd be really happy [07:59] nsh: 10.10.10.250:/mnt/DumpSpace /media/bbdump nfs rw,soft,user,noauto 0 0 --- just make sure it's a directory in /media if you want nautilus to manage it. noauto means it isn't mounted at boot, and karmic and lucid use policykit or it's ilk to trigger the mount via gvfs without a suid mount IIRC. [07:59] indus: yeap, i thought so.. [07:59] Kamilion, thanks, but i'm just pondering the matter without any particular application [07:59] indus: thats why people on brainstorm should implement this idea [08:00] nsh: from the commandline, you can use gvfs-mount to use the same framework. [08:00] #ubuntu10.04 [08:00] hotfloppy, well its cosmetic so who knows when they will approve it [08:00] ooops sry guys [08:00] nsh: read up on iscsi if you have a chance [08:00] will do [08:01] nsh: try gvfs-mount --list to see what it reports it can deal with. [08:01] chmod -Rv a-x *.rtf How do I get this to work on all subdirectories and not just within the one main directory? [08:01] indus: hope they will approve it.. for now, got to do it the hard way.. [08:01] noted with thanks [08:01] indus: anyways, thanks for your help :) [08:01] ya sure hope so [08:01] zetheroo: that R isn't doing it? [08:02] nsh: and I just verified I can mount and unmount via a SSH login even without being logged into gnome on the console. [08:02] Docteh: no [08:02] odd [08:02] lowercase? [08:02] Kamilion, that's nice [08:02] hotfloppy, have a nice day :) [08:02] indus: yeah, you too :) [08:03] Docteh: I just did that command from within my Documents folder and it only took care of the RTF's within that folder and not in the subdir's [08:03] zetheroo: you might have to fiddle with find and xargs but i just suck at using it [08:03] nsh: so it seems to only rely on the proper libraries and infrastructure to be there -- not a whole running GUI session. [08:03] * nsh nods [08:04] I get good speeds too -- 60-70MB/sec over GigE between two amd 780G boards, [08:04] hi guys, i have a question for you, I use scribus as a replacement for publisher, but now i want to open it somewhere else, but i can't because it is saved as a .sla file. I checked google but i didn't see anything that would change the filetype. any suggestions? [08:04] anyone else noticed that i need root priviledges to connect bluetooth device via rfcomm? [08:04] in lowercase it gives: chmod: invalid mode: `-rv' [08:05] kb-allstar: download scribus 'somewhere else' to open the file. [08:05] There is a working windows version too. [08:05] zetheroo: find -name "*.rtf" | xargs chmod a-x [08:05] im using photobucket online [08:05] You'll have to open it in scribus and export it as an image file then. [08:05] and it wont allow me to use .sla filetypes [08:05] zetheroo: that may or may not be right btw ;) [08:06] Doctech: got a heap of "cannot access" messages [08:06] heh where did you run it from? [08:06] why does this command 'tar zcvf .foo/* ~/archive/bar' end up, after several minutes, with this error "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names" and this "/home/scott/archive/" and this finally "tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors" with the result that nothing gets tarred? [08:07] chmod: cannot access `Reply.rtf': No such file or directory [08:07] Hey everyone when I start ubuntu it says it cannot find some key which requires ecrypt-mount-private. In /home/ I am seeing HOW YO ACESS YOUR DESKTOP and a README file. What is going on? [08:07] bonez2046: I don't see a tarfile specified in that. [08:07] Docteh: running it from withink the Documents folder [08:07] zetheroo: oh is there spaces in some of the filenames? [08:08] Reply.rtf .... no spaces there [08:08] is it possible to set a specific environment variable for all sudo-ed commands? [08:08] bonez2046: You sure you don't mean tar zcvf /home/scott/tarfile.tar .foo/* ~/archive/bar [08:08] hi i got a Quest: if the kernel changes now on lucid32bit its image 22 is the downloadebal CD image file then upgreadet to ? [08:08] Kamilion: ok, here's the whole command "tar zcvf .VirtualBox/* ~/archive" I am wanting to backup ~/.VirtualBox and it's contents and subfolders, and save it to ~/archive/ [08:08] Docteh, the NFS Howto explains thus: The TCP ports 1-1024 are reserved for root's use (and therefore sometimes referred to as "secure ports") A non-root user cannot bind these ports. Adding the secure option to an /etc/exports means that it will only listed to requests coming from ports 1-1024 on the client, so that a malicious non-root user on the client cannot come along and open up a spoofed NFS dialogue on a non-reserved port. This option is set by default. [08:08] zetheroo: check for something like "Swordy Reply.rtf" [08:08] hi. when I plug a usb harddisk, ubuntu does not recognize it automatically. how can I force it ? [08:09] bonez2046: Easy enough: tar -cjvf ~/vbox.tar.bz2 ~/.Virtualbox [08:09] chmod: cannot access `faith_may27.rtf': No such file or directory [08:09] er wait [08:09] chmod: cannot access `works_may30.rtf': No such file or directory [08:09] ok quick question, when I start ubuntu, it didn't mount my system because of some ecrypt thing, then I chmod 755 my /home/ directory, and now when I logs in it appears that my entire /home is gone, is there anything I could do? [08:10] bonez2046: tar -cpvf ~/archive/vbox.tar ~/.Virtualbox [08:10] zetheroo: yea that command just doesn't work with spaces in file names [08:10] Better to compress it after the fact with 'pbzip2 -9 ~/archive/vbox.tar' [08:10] Doctech: where are the spaces? Those are underscores ... [08:10] Docteh: btw ... whats the xargs for? [08:11] or 'pigz -9 ~/archive/vbox.tar' [08:11] Kamilion: I had the source and destination backwards, didn't I.. and I didn't name the archive.. [08:11] zetheroo: run just the find command and then look at that for filenames with spaces [08:12] bonez2046: Think about it this way: you can only specify one tarfile, so it goes first. Then you specify *as many file/dirs* as you need after. [08:12] Docteh: someone from #linux just said to do this ... wdyt? find -name \*.rtf -type f -exec chmod a-x {} + [08:12] ok.. thanks a bunch [08:12] zetheroo: don't do that. [08:12] hmmm looks good to me [08:12] whats the command in the terminal to show what hardware we have in the computer, specifically the wireless card [08:12] zetheroo: that will strip execute permissions from ... [08:12] RTF file? [08:13] Okay, nevermind, misread that! [08:13] hi. when I plug a usb harddisk, ubuntu does not recognize it automatically. how can I force it ? [08:13] Kamilion: yes ? No? [08:13] Kamilion: Manual.rtf yea i love that in a file name ;) [08:13] :) [08:13] zetheroo: fine! [08:13] darkangel: lspci? [08:13] * Kamilion grumbles and increases his font size [08:13] awesome thankyou eraggo [08:15] Kamilion: does it matter where I do that command from? [08:16] zetheroo: yeah, it will only search below where you are; if you do it from /home/username/ it will only search /home/username/* [08:16] Hello.. [08:16] * Docteh steals your stapler [08:16] Kamilion: will it search also within the subdirs? [08:17] imgonnaburnthisplacedown. [08:17] zetheroo: Not sure, don't really know find syntax too well. [08:17] zetheroo: thats why you're using find [08:17] I don't see a maxdepth in there though, so I think it should. [08:17] Hello. Guys could some body help me.. am having a little problem installing some programs in ubuntu [08:18] Kamilion: why burn this place down [08:18] what does EOF stand for in regards to python programming? [08:18] milton_: what programs [08:18] kb-allstar: end of file [08:18] Docteh: you stole someone's stapler. Office space. [08:18] thanks Docteh [08:18] oh cool ... looks like it worked :) [08:18] Kamilion: lol since milton_ didn't get it i totally forgot [08:19] Ah well. [08:19] hey people can some body help [08:19] !ask | milton_ [08:19] milton_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:20] milton_: We will need something a little less vauge than 'problem installing software'. [08:20] Thanks man.. Yes I've installed the a pacman game in ubuntu but it doesn't show up in the games tab [08:21] Try logging out and logging in once and seeing if it shows up. [08:21] Hello, I figured out why my ATI 4650 was flickering alot, it was due to it being pluged into CRT2 instead of CRT1 port, idk why this made a difference didn't on windows but thought I would let someone know in case someone else has a simular problem. [08:21] does anyone know if there is something wrong with security.ubuntu.com? [08:22] damoxc: yes, several of us have noticed it's losing packets. [08:22] Kamilion: not just me then :) [08:22] Kamilion: not only us :) [08:22] damoxc: Not everyone is having issues; I'm fine from home but work's busted. [08:22] Ok I'll try it now I'll come back if it fail.. [08:22] I get a message in the Ubuntu forums saying: You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section. .... Why? [08:23] Kamilion: i'm experiencing the issue from work and in our dc at a seperate location [08:23] eraggo: You have more useful information? [08:23] not useful :/ i misread us as US [08:23] That is still a useful distinction. I am in california, my work is directly connected to the MAE WEST fiber drop. [08:24] I'm on comcast and seeing no issue here. [08:25] Hey my sound isnt working with ubuntu 10.04, stops after a while. Pulseaudio wont start says module-hal-detect not found. [08:25] milton: any luck? [08:26] Wooooooooo You Guys ROCKSSSS [08:26] I have one more Question.. [08:26] Shoot. [08:26] can i install Linux with the default drivers so it would not conflict when putting the HD on another pc [08:27] Hey my sound isnt working with ubuntu 10.04, stops after a while. Pulseaudio wont start says module-hal-detect not found. [08:27] User01: That is the default configuration of all ubuntu installations. [08:27] Whoops sorry [08:27] I have downloded some tutorials but I cant find them.. [08:27] User01: you want to swap a HDD between to systems running different OS's? [08:27] kamilion and how could I go about doing that [08:27] milton: have you checked your Downloads directory in your homedir? [08:27] where does ubuntu saves those files I installed using the synaptic thing.. [08:27] User01: step one, drag it over to other computer ;) [08:28] haha [08:28] hey my ubuntu 10.04 wireless internet doesn't work- i have to manually select it upon startup [08:28] User01: ubuntu is not like microsoft who locks a license to hardware -- just install ubuntu to the hard drive and bring it to the other computer. [08:28] zetheroo: I want to install the os on a computer that won't do it itself via cd [08:28] User01: so steal its hd and install onto that [08:28] kamilion really?? [08:28] User01: REALLY. [08:28] Let me Check.. [08:28] It's just that easy. [08:28] how do i make my wireless internet automatically connect [08:29] so it just works?! [08:29] yep. [08:29] User01: you can install Ubuntu to a HDD and then take it and plug it into another machine and boot off of it there ... done that before :) [08:29] Crazy, huh? [08:29] without blue screens lol [08:29] yep! [08:29] wow thanks ppl [08:29] seriouslu [08:29] No hassle, as long as the bios finds the drive. Enjoy! [08:29] jamezek: caress it :P [08:29] Drop by again if you need some help setting up a boot menu. [08:29] wow thanks I'm happyaron now [08:29] happy ;) [08:30] so you can choose which drive to start from [08:30] any easy way to determine which drive ubuntu installed grub onto.. i think it put in on my windows sata drive!! [08:30] User01: have fun ;) [08:30] I just cant get it to boot from a cd it shuts down [08:30] how come my firefox always hangs on 10.04 [08:30] my computer is saved wooot [08:30] Yosi: think you can check system.map for that. [08:30] i tried doing the ipv6 thing but it doesn't help [08:31] User01: And try xubuntu if you find the normal one to be too heavy for older PCs. [08:31] I still cant believe ut [08:31] User01: does the system shut off when you try to boot from CD? [08:31] yes [08:31] what is system.map? [08:31] jamezek: You have a problem with your router/dslmodem/cablemodem's DNS resolver. [08:31] Kamilion: i heard xfce wasn't all that cut down [08:31] Yosi: check /boot/system.map I think [08:31] every time gpu overheats buy it runs fine inside linux [08:31] User01: and when the system is running ... can you use the optical drive just fine? [08:31] thanks [08:32] yes it's a pata drive [08:32] kamilion: is there a way to fix it [08:32] Nothing Kamilton.. I reinstalled the tutorials and even get in the Homedir Downloads but nothing.. [08:32] the pc recognizes it [08:32] cos it worked fine with 9.10 before [08:32] Docteh: it ain't, but it'll run okay on 256MB or below a lot better than gnome. [08:32] pata being the pins on my 2.5" lapop hdd [08:32] User01: I had a similar issue with my system ... my PSU was kicking it [08:32] ahh [08:32] kamilion: no such file exists [08:33] jamezek: Probably. Get a new firmware for your router or ask your ISP to upgrade your modem. [08:33] User01: oh thsi is a laptop? [08:33] zetheroo so you just plug and play? [08:33] ok [08:33] i just put in not one but two differnet 2GB USB pen drives, and neither of them automount in Lucid. Any ideas what to do? [08:33] jamezek: the problem usually occurs in older network gear that improperly DROPS valid DNS queries. [08:33] User01: plug and play what? [08:33] Yosi: /boot/system.map-$(uname -r) is the kernel symbol table [08:33] right [08:33] yes it's an hp dv 8000 17" nice lappy [08:34] Hey Kamilton I was thinking that this might have to do with something in the CONSOLE prompt thing.. What you think [08:34] zetheroo: the freshly installed linux os from my other pc to my broken laptop [08:34] is there another way to do it without replacing my modem like with some tweaking [08:34] User01: ahh I see ... and the system turns off when you try to boot from a CD ... and yet when the system is running you can use the CDrom just fine [08:34] jamezek: The other option is to rely on your local computer to do the lookups and skip your ISP entirely, by setting your DNS at 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 for google's public DNS or using pdns-recursor [08:35] zetgeroo yes [08:35] jamezek: apt-get install pdns-recursor, set nameserver to 127.0.0.1 [08:35] let me try [08:35] everything works fine except for when trying to install os [08:35] User01: no warranty on the laptop I am guessing? [08:35] bope [08:35] nope [08:35] hello [08:35] i am using ubuntu 10.04 and want to download driver for hp M1213nf MSP printer [08:35] jamezek: Personally, I just use google's DNS at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 [08:35] Hey Kamilion , could I solve this thing using the console utility program [08:35] hi guys [08:35] llutz: I get an no such file or directory error [08:35] User01: sucks ... HP laptops for you ... disposables ... [08:36] it's close to dead zetherroo I mean realslix close [08:36] milton: try the File Search. Otherwise, you might have asked firefox to open the file, which would have stored it in /tmp and deleted it after a reboot. [08:36] what is the url to download linux printer drivers [08:36] User01: how do you know it overheats ... ? ... I mean besides the fact that's it's a HP ... [08:37] real close* but does what you said still apply can I still boot linux without having o install it on the exact same pc [08:37] linux- told me zetheroo [08:37] Ok I'll try that [08:37] zetheroo: windows nvidia drivers complain about overheating; I've seen it. [08:37] 94c limit reached shutting down [08:37] User01: so you have linux on it? [08:37] had [08:37] User01: Get a can of compressed air and get all the crud out of it's fans. [08:37] did [08:38] pulseaudio wont start, ideas? [08:38] Kamilion: yeah ... tell me about it ... I have had dozens of them through my workshop ... overheating HP's that is [08:38] Kamilion: 9 out of 10 where Nvidia chipsets [08:38] Then the fans need replacement; prefereably with a better quality unit with decent bearings. [08:38] Kamilion: Compressed air is good, but be careful where you point the nozzle [08:38] I just like to know if I can swap the hdd after installing linux on it with another pc and have it work [08:38] I get a lot of dells and HPs with stuck fans. [08:38] User01: yes [08:39] woooooooohoooopp [08:39] User01: it will work ... [08:39] User01: Yes, ubuntu does hardware detection on every boot. [08:39] thank you [08:39] really?? whaoo [08:39] User01: but that will not solve your overheating issues ... [08:39] saweeet screw windows heh [08:39] is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network? [08:39] zethetoo no but it will saw me from parting out my laptop ;) [08:40] save * [08:40] i just did apt-get install pdns-recursor - how do i load it to change the nameserver [08:40] and crying [08:40] User01: you can try manually controlling the fan speed if it's not spinning fast enouigh [08:40] If the fan is spinning slowly, User01, you should try to find a replacement cooler. And make sure you use good thermal compound like Artic Silver 5 or something [08:41] Yosi: strange, the file should come with the kernel-package [08:41] zetheroo yes next boot I shall for sure [08:41] Yo yo yo [08:41] jamezek: You using normal ubuntu with gnome and network-manager? Then just edit your auto eth0 and set your DNS to 127.0.0.1 or you can edit /etc/resolv.conf directly. [08:41] kamilion: excellent idea except it's extremely hard to dismantlee a dv8000 [08:41] User01: I run the temperature sensors in my panel which monitor temps and fan speeds ... very handy [08:41] HAHAHAH yes! It IS! I HATE the DV series for that. [08:42] Can it h grub on both D'surt installin [08:42] those cases are such PITAs. [08:42] Yosi: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ [08:42] kamilion that is absolutely the last resort and I end up chucking it at a wall eventually heh [08:42] sudo grub-instal /dev/sdb [08:42] Kamilion: network manager will recreate resolv.conf at startup so the dns needs adding in the nm config? [08:42] Kamilion: yeah, I was just going to say ... he will have to dis-assemble the darn thang ... :) === ansgar is now known as Guest64715 [08:42] zetheroo yup I did that aswell at least fir CPU th gpu didn't take [08:42] zetheroo: Hey, a $35 cooler on ebay's a lot cheaper than a $599 laptop replacement. [08:43] kamilion very true mate [08:43] how to get latest hplip ? [08:43] the problem is, you have to get just the right MXM cooler for the right card [08:43] you're usually better off replacing the MXM card entirely sometimes, they're that model-specific. [08:43] Kamilion: oh certainly ... if one can take it all apart and put it all together it's a bargain :) [08:43] Dubey: go to the hplip site. Grab the script. Mark it as executable and run it as user (not sudo) [08:44] like mine I'd have to get the mobo aswell [08:44] User01: what are the system specs .... ? [08:44] ActionParsnip: can u pls. give the url ? [08:44] Jordan: I ran the script but nothing happened? [08:44] kamilion: listen to this I just paid some douchebag college I'd to fix it claiming he knows about both Linux and windows [08:45] User01: might be worth it to just get what life you can outta it and work on saving for a new system ... and maybe not another HP ... heh [08:45] Dubey: unfortunately not. Webbrowsing is dog slow on my phone [08:45] It's not a matter of can, it's a matter of will/won't. I watched my ten year old niece build a beautiful amd desktop rig and install ubuntu on it, in less than an hour, with no help from me other than pointing out the little paper motherboard washers. [08:45] Dubey: websearches will find it, no problem [08:45] np [08:45] zetheroo an amd 2.0 runs wonders on ubuntu` with 1.0 gb ram Ari 200 express handles compiz well too [08:45] Kamilion: hehe ... de ja vu ... I recall you telling me that before :) [08:46] She could barely understand windows; and yet with nothing more than a phillips screwdriver and the instructions "everything only goes together one way, it's all logical, just take your time". [08:46] Kamilion, nice if that is true, what are the specs? === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz [08:46] ok, thanks [08:46] I should ask the college kid for a discount considering g he told me there was nothing he could do and still chargesbme full pics [08:46] Basic AM2 IGP rig in a toolless desktop case. Single harddrive, single optical, all SATA, no cards. [08:46] price [08:47] Kamilion; yes, I have seen some people do really well ... and then I have seen utter disasters ... mostly the latter .... so it's to each his/her own ay ... === adrian_ is now known as yata [08:47] can some one help [08:48] I chose the parts; gigabyte 780G microatx board, cheap toolless case from newegg, came out to something like $450; and boy were her parents proud. Never seen my brother grin so wide. [08:48] User01: I would not spend too much time or money on that machine ... unless you have plenty of either/each :) [08:48] hi everyone [08:48] I'm gonna tell him to install ubunru i'm real glad I didn't pick up the laptop tonight I'll run this info by him very suprising it will most likely work [08:48] it works [08:48] Got 'em a CPU cooler with a decent thermal pad on it so she didn't have to smear goop. [08:48] Kamilion, nice very nice I guess its possible if I can make the lil ones like ubuntu by removing any other OS choices I guess this is possible and they are dam happy about it :) [08:49] i have grub installed on my notebook but i never see the grub screen, now i have to enter it to boot a different kernel (newest gives me kernel panic) but i have no clue how to open GRUB, can someone help please? [08:49] zetgeroo especially since he ild me crapi already k new [08:49] told* [08:49] Pirate_Hunter: Eh, I just kill the top panel and set the bottom panel to resemble windows 7 and most of my users can barely tell the difference with crossover office and wine. [08:49] hey, I've got .tar.gz file and instructions say 'extract to your home folder and run a certain file'.. would it be something wrong if I just double click it and open with package manager? [08:50] User01: yeah ... good luck ;) [08:50] if it autodetecs hardware on boot boy am in in debt [08:50] thanks [08:50] JORDAN: the script did the trick... it says no botloader on sdb only on sda (windows drive)... can i move it over? or should i install a second copy? [08:50] User01: Also -- ask him if he has a USB CDROM DRIVE [08:50] User01: it does and it will [08:50] And with KDE, most of them can use it as a windows (xp + 7)/2 [08:50] you could just use that to install with. [08:50] thanks guys I almost gave up [08:50] heck you could install from a USB flash disk ... heh [08:50] kamilion he just in it for the money I'm thinking [08:50] sdb is my raid array, rather have it on their than my windows drive [08:51] is there a macro/scripting tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or Window message? [08:51] Kamilion, that could work if your users arent using apps like dreamweaver, expression web, CS* etc and your bothered to move the libraries over [08:51] Yosi: Install a second copy, disable the drive by yanking the SATA cable, and then ask windows to 'fixmbr' then 'fixboot' from a vista or 7 install disk. Hit Shift-f10 to get a commandprompt after you pick the language but before you hit Install Now. [08:51] Is security.ubuntu.com having issues? [08:51] it will detect I'll tell him to pay more attention in school [08:51] Pirate_Hunter: They are. CS3. [08:52] DaveQB: yes, it is. [08:52] Kamilion, that works well with wine? I am very surprised... [08:52] Cool. Was worried it was just me. Thanks Kamilion [08:52] Kamilion: if i install a second copy using grub-install /dev sdb, why do i have to fix the mbr on the windows drive can't i just leave grub their inactive? [08:53] Pirate_Hunter: Nope -- crossover office for CS3. [08:53] he's '4th year' anyway I'm curious to test this out before he gets my money I'd like somehing for it in return, thank you zetgeroo and kamilion you saved my sanity [08:53] Yosi: Guess ya don't! [08:53] Kamilion, Ahhh should've guess haven't used those in a long time why not just vm the window apps for all your users? [08:54] what's the key to get the grub (2?) screen on boot? [08:54] ojii: hold down shift, if I remember correctly [08:54] Pirate_Hunter: They complain about network performance of remote desktop solutions. [08:54] User01: no worries mate .. [08:54] Kamilion: by installin the new grub, will ubuntu know to update that grab whenever i upfdate the system or will it look for the old one? also will it have my windows boot option there? [08:55] Yosi: Nope! It [08:55] Yosi: Nope! It'll only update one. First one it finds, usually the mbr on sda. [08:55] Kamilion, ah guess you can't make everyone happy I just tend to remove the option to make choices (that is when I can get away with it) either use it or don't simple as that [08:55] hey, I've got .tar.gz file and would it be something wrong if I just double click it and open with package manager? [08:56] anyone good at configuring synergy? [08:56] Pirate_Hunter: The other part is, I'm free to give them the finger and laugh in their face as well. [08:56] Gryllida:needs to be extracted first [08:56] Kamilion: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades [08:56] oobie: heh ... just did that yesterday [08:56] Yosi: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades [08:56] Yosi: Kamilion: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades [08:57] Kamilion: is there any harm in having the grub on the windows drive instead of sdb (my raid array), if the sda ever dies, i can always boot from a live CD and install grub then... no data loss write, just a bootloader...? [08:57] *scribbles that in google notebook* [08:57] zetheroo: extracted. then what? [08:57] zetheroo: through quicksynergy w/ ubuntu host? [08:57] Kamilion, that could work I actually laughed how many times i've thought about doing the same, oh you just made my morning thanks [08:57] Gryllida: depends what it is really ... [08:57] anyone able to provide assistance with getting the cisco vpn client running on ubuntu 10.04? Currently it won't compile for me, patched or unpatched, CFLAGS changed or not.. [08:57] oobie: two Ubuntu systems ... Karmic and Lucid ... yep [08:58] oobie: have you looked up the Ubuntu documentation on it? [08:58] Yosi: Pretty much, but I've actually booted grub2 from a cd and manually launched kernel+initrds without a problem in situations like that. [08:58] Yosi: That command will also ask about other settings, just keep them at their defaults (some will be blank, that is normal) [08:58] jordan and kamilion - thanks... [08:58] zetheroo: what should I look in it for? [08:58] Smeh: no option to run the Anyconnect VPN client? [08:58] baiiiii! [08:58] Gryllida: what are you installing? [08:58] zetheroo: yea the problem is i have a dual monitor and a laptop client [08:58] it's to a Cisco ASA host, so I don't think so? or does Anyconnect support connecting to cisco ASAs? [08:58] I use anyconnect to hit our ASA. [08:59] Kamilion: Manually? That's what Super GRUB2 Disk is for :) [08:59] well. In that case i'll look into Anyconnect, thanks. [08:59] oobie: well I am not working with dual monitors here ... just a laptop and desktop with one monitor [08:59] does anyone here happen to know what that free massively multiplayer arcade style space ship shooter game is where you can choose a ship and takes sides? I think its a FOSS game. [08:59] rww, didn't work, was holding down shift but it still gave me kernel panic and not a boot menu [08:59] Jordan_U: Noooooooope. I doubt it'd be able to find which partition, kernel, and initrd in the mess of EFI partitions on my work boxes ;) [08:59] oobie: so you have already been here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto [09:00] Here is a tuffer question: I'm running the 64bit server copy of 10.04 and every few reboots i get a fschl that halts... any idea why? when i google the error its seems common on 10.04 64bit [09:00] oobie: all I had to do was the Quickstart Guide section and it was working [09:00] dde: Subspace Continuum? [09:00] zetheroo: yea i have experience with dual monitors on win7 host but i'm not sure how the config file goes [09:00] Kamilion, that sounds like that's the one. Let me check... [09:01] Kamilion: It won't detect kernels if you have a separate /boot, but it will detect grub.cfg files and let you use that :) [09:01] Jordan_U: Oooh, now that's handy. Usually I have grub4dos set up to do that. [09:01] oobie: sorry I don't mess with dual screens in Linux ... I have found it's just too much hassle than it's worth ... but glad you have it working ... [09:01] Hi, Is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network? [09:01] yes, the ipsec client. [09:02] zetheroo: thanks i'll keep digging [09:02] Kamilion, that was it. looks like its for winblows though :( [09:02] oobie: good luck ... let us know what you come up with ;) [09:02] dde: there's a linux continuum client out there [09:03] zetheroo: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+and+Configuring+Spark and I don't want to just extract and run it from home dir, I'd rather give the .tar.gz to package manager [09:03] dde: I had it working at some point when I used to play continuum.

[09:03] I'm getting a "kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs" and read on the web that it's "GRUBs fault", but I don't really get any info on how to solve this that does not involve reinstalling the system [09:05] test [09:06] wheeee, netsplit!

[09:52] misterinteger: sudo tail /var/log/gdm.log perhaps [09:52] all right, just a sec [09:53] loopidity: but try the export i think it might work in bash3 [09:53] misterinteger: or sudo grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:53] dok- so HISTTIMEFORMAT=’%a %T ‘ in the shell would do the trick?

I am using 9.10, and the pc is quite slow, even if the atom is a quad core! [10:46] dok-: I don't know about the ubuntu netbook version... but you can boot on your live cd (if you have any) or you usb stick, that way you will be able to edit easily your .conf... [10:46] maxxer: is it visually slow, or slow at processing ? [10:47] ikonia, slow expecially with javascript... [10:47] i have a JS app pretty huge [10:47] and on that PC is slow like hell [10:47] maxxer: ok so keep in mind there are two things here, visually slow, and slow processing, visually slow is the most common issue and tht's normally caused by graphics cards being configured incorrectly [10:48] I try to get running a tiny digitus IPP print server. The manual says http:/ip-nr:631/lpr1 as device URI (examle for Windows). the Samslung CLP300 works locally via USB, but when calling over the print server, the printer blinks only, and doesn't print. Any idea? [10:48] ikonia, thanks, but I believe it's not a "visually" slow problem [10:48] maxxer: have you verified this ? [10:48] maxxer: just being cautious before you rush down the wrong path [10:49] maxxer: did you try google chrome, I heard that it's very fast for js rendering....? [10:49] Hi [10:49] ikonia, how can i test, just to be sure? I have my believe, but could be wrong as you say [10:49] Galerien, chrome is much faster! but i cannot use it because printing totally sucks [10:49] Galerien: Thanks, I tryed that byt then the usb stick did now want to boot so im recreating the usb-install and try again === pogay1 is now known as pog [10:50] sorry for the large text: anyone has this problem when running an X application as root; 1st it takes more time to load, 2nd it shows another "tab" in the bottom panel for 10 seconds saying "Starting Administrative rights" or "launching app..." and in the meanwhile u dont have the normal cursor, u have the busy mouse cursor ?? [10:50] maxxer: a fair question, look at running a few "busy" commands in the termal, as the terminal doesn't require any display processing, also run "top" in another window and see how your cpu/memory resources differ and for what periods of time [10:50] dok-: You should be able to chose "use ubuntu without making change to the computer", or something like that...? [10:51] hello is it possible that anyone helps with kvm [10:51] maxxer: If you say so :D, I don't know about chrome "printing" [10:51] kvm is running and guests are installed [10:51] Galerien, yes, i.e. you cannot print a single page, just the whole document. on linux, at least. and this is not applicable in my situation, sadly. otherwise could solve most of my speed problems [10:52] Did the Yahoo! deal fall through? does anyone have information on that?

[11:31] not with imap offcourse [11:32] Ok, so let me ask everybody again. Is it possible to write a script to control my 3G modem ? [11:32] data: there is a bunch of info in : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1034910 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7576717 : the gist is get /etc/crypttab correct and run "update-initramfs -k all -c -v" [11:32] marcus if your modem has some command line software yes [11:32] marcus, should be... what kind of modem is it? [11:32] otherwise you will have to write that yourself [11:32] data: but that might not be your issue [11:33] thune3: thanks, i will try that [11:33] It's a 3G modem (Huwei e1730) that is showing up in networkmanager applet. [11:34] marcus you can only write control scripts for stuff that can be controlled from the command line [11:34] marcus: why do you want to do that ? [11:34] if your modem can be controlled from command line then yes you can script it [11:34] wise_crypt, I'm writing an auto-connect script, that needs to do some stuff inbetween. [11:35] marcus: what is the usage of the script ? [11:35] wise_crypt why is that relevant? [11:35] marcus: what stuff [11:36] marcus do you know how to make shell scripts even?? [11:36] !info cron | ro8inmorgan [11:36] ro8inmorgan: cron (source: cron): process scheduling daemon. In component main, is important.

[11:37] wise_crypt, The entire scenario is this: On session start, I want the 3g modem to connect, and then run chrome to a specified url. The script should connect the 3g modem again, if there is a break in coverage, when possible. [11:37] do you know QQ [11:37] ro8inmorgan, yes I do. [11:37] Marcus then why do you want chrome to a specified url?? [11:37] what are you trying to do? [11:38] who used qq for linux [11:38] is ro8inmorgan and marcus the same person [11:38] ro8inmorgan, Does it matter ? I want the computer to connect and open chrome to let's say "google" and then ensure that the 3g reconnects on failure. [11:38] lol [11:39] Marcus well it seems to be a little unlogical to open a graphical browser from a script [11:39] Good day all , ikonia http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu here is written >>> Developers can work on their desktop of choice, and smoothly deliver code to cloud servers running the stripped-down Ubuntu Server Edition. [11:39] wise_crupt why would we be the same person? [11:39] ro8inmorgan, Ok, but that doesn't matter does it. My question is if it's possible to control the 3g modem from the command line.

[11:45] ro8inmorgan: you ought to let me know from the first place lol my bad [11:45] wise_crypt: its ok in case I get one i got your tip lol [11:45] ro8inmorgan: lol [11:47] i cant see other computers in Networks from my 10.04 machine. everything is working on my 9.10 machine... how can i view other machines?

[11:55] azlon: ok...sorry i couldn't help ya! [11:55] nice of you to ask rumpsy : ) i just installed Xubuntu 10.04 and everything is working out pretty fine except that Firefox and Chrome load web pages extermely slowly to the point of it being unusable. [11:56] azlon, you want to change your Ubuntu machine hostname? [11:56] I reply my Question: Evolution. Ubuntu 10.04. After some minutes Evolution shutting down with argument "broken pipe" oder "shutting down" .... whats happend? I never got in 9.x up this failure [11:57] azlon, have a look at man hostname [11:57] mechdave, nah... i will just access by IP for now. i just need to access the machine for a day then im going to format it [11:57] mechdave, thanks! [11:57] i executed everything in this tutorial http://wojox.homelinux.org/?p=46 but still i can not even load twitter [11:57] azlon, yeah, if you can remember the ip :) No worries [11:57] alabd: it doesn't matter [11:57] alabd: as I told you yesterday [11:58] removing top gnome panel while keeping some functionality (e.g. alltray support)? [11:59] mechdave, i think i was talking to you a couple months about about RAID5 stuff, right? did you get your issue resolved? [11:59] google loads fast and fine...searches are fast...but loading the sites like blogs, or any web app takes forever. i do not think that tutorial helped at all. [12:00] I reply my Question: Evolution. Ubuntu 10.04. After some minutes Evolution shutting down with argument "broken pipe" oder "shutting down" .... whats happend? I never get bevore this failure [12:01] I disabled ClearType in the OS but it still remains in Firefox. How do I turn it off? [12:01] hey got a question [12:01] it is strange. some sites load fine. others will not load at all. does anyone know how to solve this problem? [12:01] hi guys, I've just upgraded a 9.10 machine to 10.04 and I need to add a PPA, but the add-apt-repository command appears to be missing? [12:01] as does locate/updatedb :\ === [daemon]_ is now known as [daemon] [12:02] Lazesharp: that is not normal [12:02] azlon, Nah, I have never worried about RAID, don't have enough realestate for that :) [12:02] Lazesharp: what does « echo $PATH » return? [12:02] when I say "missing" I mean it's not on the PATH at least [12:02] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games [12:02] Lazesharp: "man add-apt-repository" works for me, I'm 10.04 [12:02] doesn't look to be anything out of the ordinary there [12:02] okay I want to install linux on a desktop and run it on my laptop [12:02] azlon, I have been about for quite a while here and there from time to time :) [12:02] mechdave, newegg has 2TB drives for only $99... i couldn't pass it up. stupid marketing... [12:03] is this possible without doi special configuration [12:03] siddhion: Are you sure about your firefox version? [12:03] User01: that are 2 installations. [12:03] OK, U can not help. Anywhere I can find some help about evolution and this "closing after some minutes"? [12:03] siddhion: what version of ff you are using [12:03] hello, can i move the buttons for closing minimizing or maximizing a window from the left to the right? [12:03] Gryllida: hi hi, this is kingring [12:03] rumpsy: hi! [12:03] Lazesharp: well, what does « apt-cache policy mlocate » return? [12:03] no just one install I can install on my laptop due to heating issues [12:03] rumpsy: 3.6.3 [12:03] cant* [12:03] Gryllida: guide siddhion [12:03] I have this laptop with wireless connection and I've installed LAMP on it. Now I would like for web server to be able to get online through the wireless without me having to login. Is this possible if I select "Available for all users" in the settings for the wireless network in the network manager? [12:04] rumpsy: i am getting these slow page load problems with Chrome as well [12:04] siddhion: Gryllida and me are good in firefox troubleshoot, since i'm bit busy you can ask him [12:04] siddhion: /join #firefox [12:04] siddhion: way too busy here [12:04] ok thanks. rumpsy [12:04] Gryllida: this is freenode [12:04] rumpsy: yes it is. [12:04] jrib: mlocate wasn't installed :\ odd [12:05] Lazesharp: how did you upgrade exactly? [12:05] amokpaule: U can, moment please [12:05] gryllida: my issue is not just with Firefox, as I said it is also with Chrome. === OerHeks is now known as Oer [12:05] Gryllida: nope, you make him clear here itself, this way helps everyone [12:05] jrib: it's Ubuntu server, so using do-release-upgrade as per standard release instructions [12:05] bluesman, ty and sure :) [12:05] gryllida: that is why i came here. [12:06] siddhion: which are the websites that don't load? [12:06] so I want to install linux on a desktop and run it on my lappy anyone know if it will auto detect my laptop hardware [12:06] Lazesharp: did the upgrade complete successfully? Did it ever tell you these packages would be removed? Did you have mlocate before the upgrade? [12:06] Is someone here familiar with upstart? [12:06] entr0py: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [12:07] jrib: not sure we had it before the upgrade, so it could be entirely normal [12:07] Lazesharp: do you have ubuntu-standard installed? [12:07] but we did have some problems with the upgrade, after the reboot it took a while for the server to respond [12:07] we may not [12:07] Lazesharp: check :) [12:07] are there nice tools for recording a database of meetings ? [12:07] O_O [12:07] State: not installed [12:08] ikonia: so what is this ? o cloud servers running the stripped-down Ubuntu Server Edition. [12:08] gryllida: Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, Engadget....all the popular ones will not load....more unpopular ones will load and when they do load up I will see the spinner still spinning...something is wrong here [12:08] Lazesharp: why remove that? [12:08] jrib: that never got removed [12:08] I saw which packages it removed, and they were nothing consequential :\ [12:08] alabd: it means a cloud server running on the ubuntu server platform [12:08] amokpaule: open gconf-editor with tree "apps" in Metacity and change value under general to ":minimize,maximaze,close" ... the ":" isz U want ;) [12:09] don't do it, it is a trap [12:09] ikonia: so cloud server can be only on ubuntu server ? [12:09] Lazesharp: presumably, this package is included by default on servers [12:09] wrong window *facepalm* [12:09] Lazesharp: I'm not sure about that though [12:09] alabd: NO [12:10] alabd: the ubuntu cloud servers are run on server edition, that doesn't mean it only works on server edition [12:10] afternoon folks [12:10] soo can someone confirm if that is possible [12:10] jrib: ubuntu-minimal isn't installed either, will I need that? [12:10] now i have a very annoying issue on 10.04 [12:10] apparently i cant close the gnome file browser [12:10] tyrus: what is your issue [12:10] siddhion: no idea why rumpsy thinks that I can help with issues that are not firefox isssues but look more like networking ones.. I'd reboot modem, and reboot router, then try from another machine at same internet access point. [12:11] everytime I do i get this pop up that says "Cannot fine /media/A126asd" [12:11] User01, it should works [12:11] yet under /etc/fstab no such device exists [12:11] :( [12:11] rabidweezle: U mean me? [12:11] Gryllida: Sorry i he mentioned me that ff bought the problem [12:11] Lazesharp: apparently ubuntu-standard isn't installed by default, so maybe locate isn't either. And I'm willing to bet add-apt-repository definitely isn't. So everything seems normal. If you want to check about the status of those packages on a fresh server install, you could verify this. If those are the only things missing, I would just install them now if you want them. If you want what [12:12] ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard say they do, then sure, install them [12:12] rumpsy: this is both Fx and GChrome issue. [12:12] gryllida: rumpsy only saw Firefox in my initial problem. I have another computer here that is connected to the same router and it runs perfect. [12:12] so rumpsy, any idea why this is happening? [12:12] Hello , its seems my drive has no space left , my partition is 60gb when i checked my /home/user folder it turn out to be : 12gb , where did all my free space go ? i found in some website that someone said that should check the log folder by typing : sudo du -h /var , i did that and i got 44gb (this taking my space) what i should do ? which files i am allowed to erase ? [12:12] siddhion: aww, maybe router/modem cache, reboot them, but I'm VERY BAD at networking [12:12] tyrus: maybe bad video driver [12:12] jrib: ok, cool - don't suppose you know which package provides add-apt-repository? [12:12] really? [12:12] bluesman, no [12:12] wildbat_laptop: okay so linux really can auto detect hardware on boot [12:12] tyrus: disable compiz effects and give a try [12:12] well thats interesting because here is another issue [12:12] Lazesharp: python-software-properties: [12:13] User01, yes [12:13] gryllida: ok i understand. thanks. [12:13] whenever i restart the machine [12:13] wildbat_laptop: okay so linux really can auto detect hardware on boot <-- I think true [12:13] jrib: intuitive ;) [12:13] even if it's different than what the os was installed on (unlike windows) [12:13] siddhion: ok [12:13] i get windows without borders and its just annoying [12:13] shay27: put output of this into pastebin.com: cd /var ; du -s --si * [12:13] Gryllida: siddhion understood now, he got your point [12:14] gryllida: how long have you been using [12:14] isnt there a way to fix this without disabling compiz? [12:14] tyrus: if you are using compiz, try this command in terminal, "compiz --replace metacity" [12:14] ikonia: or he ubuntu cloud servers are run only on server edition [12:14] hi everyone, i'm using lucid x64 and since the last kernel upgrade (2.6.32-22) i get a kernel panic when trying to boot. if i boot using the last kernel (2.6.32-21) it works but the nvidia drivers fail, what can I do? [12:14] User01: using what? [12:14] rabidweezle: I was wondering about trap... coming soon after my help to amokpaule ;) I know that it is OK ;) [12:14] if i do that, i get the borderless windows === ZachK_ is now known as ZachK [12:14] alabd: they can run on any ubuntu product [12:14] Hey I've got 10.04... there used to be a button on nautilus for swapping between address bar and button bar... where did it go! [12:14] gryllida: linux [12:14] :) [12:14] tyrus, ppl install on USB drives and bring the "machine" with then with ubuntu [12:14] User01: less than 2 days [12:14] bluesman, ty :) [12:14] and i have to run compiz --replace to get them back rumpsy [12:15] oh hehehe [12:15] User01: after 10 years on windows 2000 [12:15] ikonia: thanks God give you peace [12:15] User01, ppl install on USB drives and bring the "machine" with then with ubuntu [12:15] gryllida wow , :) [12:15] tyrus, sorry wrong ppl [12:15] :P [12:15] tyrus: which means that your graphics drivers not binding with compiz [12:16] rumpsy: looks like it....there was a bug filed on launchpad [12:16] !compiz [12:16] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [12:16] wildbat_laptop: so basicly the os is plug and play [12:16] amokpaule: czech, np ;) [12:16] but seeing there are no proprietary drivers this time am really wondering why this came with 10.04 [12:16] basicly the os is plug and play TRUE :P [12:16] tyrus: join compiz channel for further more help [12:16] ok rumpsy thanks alot [12:16] gryllida: what do you think of ubuntu` [12:16] User01, it's the same as booting a live cd with the option to actually save work [12:16] User01, ya ~ thou so machine need some tweak be4 it work but majority of machine just work [12:17] tyrus: welcome [12:17] User01: more than perfect, very customizable. 300MB or RAM instead of 1200MB. smooth.. easy to understand:) [12:17] rumpsy whats the channel again? [12:17] wildbat_laptop : okay thanks that will do [12:18] #compiz [12:18] tyrus: ^^ [12:18] thanks :) [12:18] :) [12:18] gryllida: :P yeah it runs faster than any os I've had [12:18] :P [12:19] vega:http://pastebin.com/HTZZiAq6 [12:19] rabidweezle: did U hear something about evolution ... is ending after some minutes whithot a correct message .... broken pipe, ending session but nothing more ... ubuntu 10.04 full installation with seperate /home [12:19] and also for dire situations like mine, my laptop would have to go to the junkyard if not for it [12:19] how can i delay the start of gdm? [12:19] bluesman, I use gmail [12:21] I need gdm to start AFTER the nvidia driver is ready... How can i manipulate upstart to do that?? Anyone has an idea? [12:21] ntr0py: the nvidia drivers are loaded before xorg [12:22] ntr0py: the gdm.conf has some delay option. I used that to fix an issue with nvida drivers taking too load to startup and confusing gdm [12:22] ntr0py: so you're already fine with that [12:22] anyone know how ipod touch 3rd gens can be made visible in rhythmbox from a minimal install [12:22] ? [12:22] rabidweezle: I use to help Windowsuser to change (I love it) but Evolution sucks now and its more easy for them... I prefer also Thunderbird with Lightning. But for thar people I need Evo. If U find anything U can contact me in IRCnet an my nick is blues (since over 10 years) [12:22] bluesman: Evolution is included into Ubuntu 10.04 by default. [12:22] i want to just have one background colour so no picture or so, i cant really find any option to disable the wallpapers itself. [12:23] why not create an image thats jsut the colour and use it? can be doen fro mgimp usign fill tool [12:23] hello, there are some files which use 2.6 gb on my home that I can't delete (even if I am using a live cd). These files are in the folder .Trash-0/files/lost+found/. Their permission and their user are weird, it is numbers like "-314399448". How to delete them? [12:23] ikonia: but they are not loaded before gdm trieds to display the login prompt causing the nvidia drivers to not load... [12:23] Gryllida: oh yes, but it is ending... after 10 minutes it closesed by himself in 10.04 [12:24] is there no option to just trun off the background image? [12:24] amokpaule: what background image? [12:24] ntr0py: they should be one of the first things to happen in a boot sequence [12:24] the desktop background [12:24] bluesman: Applications > Software Center , remove it and install again. [12:25] amokpaule: there probably isn't one in the gui. You probably have to create a solid colored background to do that [12:25] Gryllida: no, some other users have same Problem. Reinstall is no wax to fix it an /var/log/*** no reason [12:26] i want to connect 2 machines together to take advantage of their gigabit NICs since my switch is only 10/100. if i make a crossover cable and plug it in to each machine, will they just recognize each other and i can start transferring files? [12:26] so what CSid suggested to create a image myself with the colour i want? [12:26] yes [12:26] just use gimp and fill the entire page with the colour using the "fill-tool" [12:26] azlon, you need to setup a manual ip connection [12:27] bluesman: either reinstall, or it should work fine with new user on the OS [12:27] ok ty, but i think i got what i wanted. [12:27] ok, no help here .... thanks for listening [12:27] wildbat_laptop, ok, so give each machine a static IP, then i can start transferring files? [12:27] does anyone know why my wireless internet is capped at 11mbs [12:27] i need to install unison on my laptop, but i specifically need the 2.27.57-1 version [12:27] amokpaule: is running? [12:27] azlon, kinda ~ with ssh or ftp or nfs etc... [12:28] i have a usb AWLL3028, it should do 54mbs [12:28] wildbat_laptop, awesome, thanks [12:28] ikonia: i always end up in low graphics mode bacause nvidia drivers do not load properly before gdm tries to display the login prompt (there is some flickering and then i get the low graphics mode message) sometimes (very rare) it succeeds to display the login (e.g. when fsck delays gdm) and it always succeeds after restarting gdm. I suspect there to be a race between nvidia and gdm in upstart... [12:28] * azlon gets his crimpers [12:28] azlon: from what ive heard with a GB <->GB connectiopn you dont need a crossover cable - Gb networking is 'supposed' to auto-detect and crossover as needed [12:28] bluesman, yes there is abackground in one colour and over solid colur i chaged it to the colour i wanted [12:28] the one in lucid is too new [12:28] btw, if you want I know a forum thats pretty new, and the owner says he will leave me in charge in a few days, I can make any Ubuntu sections you want on it http://forum.xtremehacking.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=32 just want to contribute, like you could have a "solved problems" section so helping one person is helping a hundred? [12:28] linduxed: why? [12:29] bluesman, if its that what you wanted to know :) [12:29] jrib: because unison is built in a way that each release is incompatible with any other release (or so it seems) so i need to install the lowest common release for all my computers [12:29] jrib: one of them is a lenny box [12:30] jrib: about amokpaule: open gconf-editor with tree "apps" in Metacity and change value under general to ":minimize,maximaze,close" ... the ":" isz U want ;) [12:30] jrib: so you have to jump a long way back to have it align [12:31] linduxed: I ask because that number after the - is specific to debian/ubuntu packaging. So the version is 2.27.57. However the package does have 3 patches. You should see if those matter. (They probably fix things, so it makes more sense to add them to your other unison) [12:31] bluesman, i did it over the terminal but it works so yes :) === visof_ is now known as visof [12:32] how can i change a directory so that all future files created within it get a certain group ownership? [12:32] amokpaule: to change from left (like Apple) to right I tell U. U have to start the apps now [12:32] linduxed: and I just looked at all the patches and they just seem to be typo fixes in documentation, nothing in the code [12:33] <_picAssO_> i have a problem editing a tex-template: downloaded it and wanted to edit it with kile; but i can't change anything; even root can't write to file; my user owns the file and is allowed to read and write; [12:33] hey all, i created a mount point via sudo mkdir /media/ipod [12:33] how do i remove that mount point? [12:33] bluesman, everthing is working and looking now as i want it. :) [12:33] whats the remove command [12:34] evilsherpa: if its empty 'rmdir' [12:34] evilsherpa: what you want to remove [12:34] hey cud anyone help me out dual booting ubuntu + win 7 [12:34] need to PM n ask [12:34] !dualboot [12:34] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [12:34] evilsherpa gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel [12:34] Dr_Willis, thanks, rumpsy ia mount point i made [12:34] jrib: sounds good [12:34] bluesman, jrib sorry if i mixed up stuff here in who helpd me when chat is running down too fast^^ [12:34] linduxed: cool :) [12:34] ubottu: bt got sme weird issue here [12:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:34] :P [12:34] hey people. is security.ubuntu.com down?

[12:34] Dr_Willis: Do you know what this could indicate: "NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such device or address)." ?? [12:35] jrib: getdeb? [12:35] linduxed: what old version? [12:35] I am ruining web server at 127.0.0.1 but i want to configure it with my ip so that world wide can brows. How can i do that please?

[12:35] nevermind, it was a local network thing I think [12:35] helpme111222: ubbotu is a bot [12:35] evilsherpa: unmount the device first. of course. :) [12:35] amokpaule: np, its OK for me... I know how to scroll or filter ;) [12:35] Dr_Willis: its in my gdm logs for that failed login prompts [12:36] how can i change a directory so that all future files created within it get a certain group ownership? (same as using chgrp on them) [12:36] !rss [12:36] anyone here good at networking in Xubuntu? [12:36] ntr0py: as a test. try making a new user. see if they can login. [12:36] I am ruining web server at 127.0.0.1 but i want to configure it with my ip so that world wide can brows. How can i do that please? [12:36] Galerien: i m stuck here.. i know how 2 dual boot wth windows .. bt here the issue is was cleaning up my 160gigs compeltey for a fresh dual boot.. bt m nt able to delete a partition says too many partitions. i guess its nt allowing me to delete a dynamic partition [12:36] evilsherpa gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel | pkill gnome-panel [12:36] jrib: oh wait... ive got a PPA version, that's why i had a newer one :-P [12:36] Galerien: can i PM u? [12:37] linduxed: yeah, latest unison in ubuntu universe is 2.27.57-2ubuntu2 . Note I just saw one patch that moves the log file, but that probably doesn't matter? [12:37] easy-guy, ask in #httpd if using apache, or whatever channel for other webservers [12:37] Galerien: coz all the guides i know n read, tel me to first install win7 thn install ubuntu, so for tht sake i need 2 have win7 ... bt the win7 disc doesnt allow me to delete dynamic drives.. [12:37] rumpsy: ya understod whn i tried to call it :P [12:37] helpme111222: see my private message [12:37] easy-guy: hmm.. by default i can get to this m achines web server on http://localhost and http://themachines.ipadress if i want to let the internet people access it. I need to set up my router to forward the http port to tjhis box. [12:38] jrib: not really no [12:38] Dr_Willis: the error occurs before the login prompt gets displayed... [12:38] linduxed: should be fine to use with a presteen 2.27.57 then [12:39] anyone here familiar with ventrilo server? [12:39] rumpsy: thanks alot for your time [12:39] ntr0py: interesting. I would have to suggest checking the ubuntu and nvidia forums. [12:39] erm, *pristine*, knew that looked funny [12:39] i got a work around to it [12:39] easy-guy: change the apache bind adress [12:39] tyrus_: np [12:41] jrib: yeah i think so [12:42] can i set a users permissons so that he is not able to browse any files outside his home dir? how? === sid3k` is now known as sid3k [12:42] ni meng hao a === dz is now known as Guest6885 [12:43] imisdal: proberly not very easially.. of course the way linux is.. even if he looks around. he shouldent be able to affect anything [12:43] how can i change a directory so that all future files created within it get a certain group ownership? (same as using chgrp on them) [12:44] imisdal: if you want to do a total lockdown of the file maanger and other gnome settings. theres some you can lock down. but ive never looked into it [12:44] Dr_Willis: Maybe i can replace the gdm binary with a script that delays the start of gdm?? [12:44] imisdal, google for "chroot" or "unix jail" tutorials [12:44] 我的系统文件修改不了，是怎么回事， [12:44] Decent video editors for linux are hard to come by. All I am trying to do is join two video files together and export it, I just tried pitivi and the file came out bigger than I expected, the aspect ratio was off and the audio was out of sync, it can't be that hard can it? [12:44] ntr0py: the gdm config files have a 'delay' option you have tried? [12:44] corin_: Dr_Willis, okey thank you [12:44] corin_: set suidflag or sgid on folder [12:44] 有没有讲中文的 [12:45] Dr_Willis: I tried the config file you gave me yesterday... [12:45] ntr0py: heres mine -> Note that i ahve 2 different gdm custom.conf files that i set this in. One is in /etc/gdm other is in... /usr/share/gdm/custom.conf [12:45] ntr0py: i set the delay in both of them [12:46] nighter, thanks, will try in 5min, just started raining really heavily so going out for a smoke ;) [12:47] ntr0py: does just 'startx' work? or if you start gdm manually? [12:47] corin_: Dr_Willis, can i set the user permissons to not be able to browse say /media/ ? [12:47] Dr_Willis: yes absolutely [12:48] Dr_Willis: can you give me your custom.conf again pls? [12:48] imisdal, chmod 750 or 770 [12:48] the 0 means users that dont own the directory, and arent in the directory's group, cant read i [12:48] t [12:48] If I wish to file a launchpad bug (wishlist type) but am not quite sure if the feature might be there, newer version or branch or config setting, is it considered okay ettiqite to ask in launchpad answers whether feature exists in newer version/hidden in settings before filing bug- particullaly this is for loggerhead the bzr repository viewer launchpad uses [12:48] wildbat_laptop, i created a crossover cable and assigned static IPs for each machine. the transfer is still going at 10Mps. any ideas? [12:48] http://pastebin.com/hZu6AMbG is the /usr/share one - its just like 2 lines.. [12:49] corin_: okey, is that chmod user 750? [12:49] ntr0py: i got the identical 2 lines in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf file as well. [12:49] imisdal [12:49] Now I have a nother question about my PCI intergrated card reader O2 firmware is not running: [12:49] pkill gnome-panel [12:49] chmod 750 /media/ [12:49] imisdal: you can use either of one [12:49] argl === bo is now known as Guest760 [12:50] ntr0py: those settings dont really cause a 'delay' of gdm. but it sets the time that gdm waits for X to show up (i think) befor it errors out.

Synaptic and look for languages [13:05] visitor1: at start U can change [13:05] hi, question: I'm trying to update and existing xmltv installation to the newest version. but then I apt-get, it tells me newest version installed [13:05] does ubuntu install non-free software? [13:05] hi [13:05] pythonic: if you tell it to [13:05] Does anybody know if it is necessary to run a clean up utility like ccleaner or glary on Ubuntu and Xubuntu? [13:06] pythonic: Elaborate. [13:06] Galerien: ok, well ubuntu suggests packages for "extra multimedia functionality" (flash, video codecs, etc.) [13:06] BUT, i need a newer version that probably isn't packaged [13:06] which of these are non-free? [13:06] Cervera: Terminal, sudo apt-get autoremove and after that start again. Perhaps U get the newestend [13:06] pythonic: flash and most codecs packages [13:06] "flashplugin-installer" seems to be a smoking gun [13:06] Galerien: non-free or merely patent encumbered? [13:06] pythonic: what do you mean? [13:07] I'm french dude, didn't get that ;) [13:07] i understand the flash plugin is the non-free plugin from adobe, yes? [13:07] hello [13:07] Cervera: Terminal, sudo apt-get autoremove and after that start again ... no reboot, sorry...is automatic and reading new sources [13:07] my usb devices have becomed very flacky in the last few days [13:07] pythonic: yes [13:08] Galerien: some free software cannot be distributed because of patents, dmca, etc. [13:08] i suspect that it's a kernel driver issue [13:08] Are there any utility clean up programs like ccleaner or glary for ubuntu and xubuntu? [13:08] can i downgrade the kernel and get back the old modules too? [13:08] Galerien: ubuntu suggests installing "flash", "video codecs", "dvd reading", "k3b cd codecs", "mp3 encoding", "mpeg plugins" [13:09] i've tried using synaptic but i can't find a way to downgrade stuff [13:09] ktne: You can choose the previous kernels through the grubmenu. [13:09] but the modules are off [13:09] hi, this might be offtopic to some extent, but I can surely use good opinions/ideas, HP Pavilion dv6 with colorful vertical lines, from what I've seen it seems to be caused by heat ! [13:09] EgyParadox: i get all sorts of errors if i pick the old kernel from grub [13:09] did any of you guys experience something similar?

[13:10] ktne: Sorry can't help. [13:10] martianixor: what is dv6? [13:10] pythonic: the repository they are in. is a clue. 'free' means gpl licensing 'free' in most cases. not 'you got to pay $$ for it non free' [13:10] pythonic: i guess you have to go on the ubuntu website and look for it [13:11] mek8530 one of HP notebook lines [13:11] the thing is that if i reboot then the usb devices work correctly again [13:11] !info flashplugin-installer [13:11] flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer.

So cant help much more [13:14] mek8630: did you have a similar problem? [13:14] !medibuntu pythonic [13:14] martianixor: my aunt is having the same problem with a dell [13:14] !medibuntu|pythonic [13:14] mek8630: the problem is I can't live with it, simply cause I move alot which means heat for short [13:14] pythonic: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:15] pythonic: there's a blurb in the repo howto to avoid non-free [13:15] mek8630: well, you didn't help her getting it fixed? [13:15] martianixor: the only QUICK solution I can think of is to get one of those cooling pads they make for laptops with the extra fans in them. [13:16] martianixor: yes she had to buy a new screen [13:16] mek8630: yeah I thought of that already, the problem is that it's not fixed yet [13:16] Barridus: the "restricted" repo that has libdvdcss also has adobe flash installer, yes? [13:16] !past [13:16] hi. I'm trying to create a live USB disk for ubuntu. which partition types are supported? FAT32 seems to work, NTFS doesn't, what else works? [13:16] mek8630: the problem seems to exist in the screen inverter [13:16] exit [13:16] martianixor: I was just trying to think of easy solutions that would save you from having to buy a new screen [13:16] mek8630: due to a very stupid heatsink design [13:17] Barridus: medibuntu includes acrobat reader [13:17] mek8630: I think I should get rid of it [13:17] martianixor: yes even if you buy a new screen it will either only be a temporary fix or not stop completely the only other option is to send it into HP unless you know someone with spare parts [13:18] martianixor: yes I think so too, you will always have problems with it [13:18] is there some easy way to exclude Non-Free software like acrobat reader, but include Free but restricted (by patent/dmca) software like libdvdcss? [13:18] i've got problems with package named "fglrx", i can't delete or reinstall it. that's what it's said: http://linuxportal.by/paste/index.php?show=13 [13:18] martianixor: at least you will know not to make the same mistake haha [13:18] mek8630: even if I sent it to HP care, it's a temporary fix, they'd replace the inverter same problem exists I think [13:19] mek8630: yeah no one learns for free [13:19] martianixor: they may have come up with a solution by now === dmart is now known as Guest59551 [13:19] pythonic: from the how-to on medibuntu "If you were using acroread from medibuntu before Jaunty was released, you can uninstall it as medibuntu no longer provides acroread. Instead you can get acroread by enabled the Canonical partner repository under System->Administration->Software Sources->Third Party Software. " [13:19] martianixor: since your not the only one I am sure that has had this problem they may have redesigned the parts to work better [13:20] mek8630: yeah I'm hoping for that, the problem is that the only solution would be in the inverter itself cause they wouldn't be able to modify my frigin notebook's casing design === rbr is now known as szeta [13:20] mek8630: half the heat goes up to the inverter [13:20] mek8630: yes I'm hoping [13:20] martianixor: honestly if you send it in and have it fixed then the battle would be keeping it cool so it doesnt happen again. I would just invest in a better laptop [13:20] mek8630: although I guess mine isn't that Old [13:21] mek8630: I guess it was manufactured way after that problem was wide spread [13:21] martianixor: there are plenty of low cost laptops out there now that will last 10 years or better [13:21] people, I NEED HELP! [13:21] :( === mquin- is now known as mquin [13:22] mek8630: It would be hard to choose something with a similar Hardware specifications [13:22] northern_deer: how'd you install it? [13:22] martianixor: well I think you already know what you have to do, unfortunately there is no easy fix [13:22] maybe it was installed automatically with something [13:22] martianixor: what is so great about that model? [13:22] i dont remember [13:22] hi to all.....when i saved the page from indiabix.com,and again open it from my harddisk,it shows empty...........wat's the reason [13:23] mek8630: it's just the 3MB L2 cache and 4MB RAM with ATI Radeon [13:23] northern_deer: dpkg -l fglrx [13:24] martianixor: oh yeah I see your point [13:24] babu__: look at the contents of the actual file you saved. Could be mnost of the page was from some javascript/extras that didtnt get saved [13:24] martianixor: well if that is worth it to you to keep sinking more and more money into it [13:24] i leave and have a nice day [13:25] mek8630: I guess I'll have to contact HP support and try to convince them to tell me if they've developed a solution for such problem heh [13:25] Barridus: ah, ok, thanks [13:25] i checked.....i found all pictures and other stuffs in the file......but it is not shown when i opened it in browser..... [13:25] martianixor: yeah that's what I would do so you know if the problem will actually be fixed or not [13:25] mek8630: do you know a better Laptop with similar hardware? [13:25] it's html file [13:25] pythonic: yeah the repo howtwo on medibuntu is a bit long, but easy to follow [13:26] hello [13:26] the best laptop I have is a emachines E725 it has a Pentium dual-core [13:26] martianixor: I like it, it works great for multimedia [13:26] can some one tell me how to get the older kernels in lucid?

[13:32] martianixor: get this [13:32] mek8630: yeah and of course heavy Video editing [13:33] northern_deer, yes..? [13:33] martianixor: I am using RIGHT NOW a IBM Thinkpad 600X w/ Pentium III 500mhz and I am able to stream my movies to the PS3 just fine [13:34] Gryllida: i perfer 'weechat' to irssi for text based irc clients. [13:34] i have installed "phpmyadmin". I know it is graphical. But i how i will get it open? === sanderj_ is now known as Snadder [13:34] jMCg: >jMCg northern_deer: dpkg -l fglrx [13:35] mek8630: I've been using configurations like that for ages, and thought it's time for some Luxury if you know what I mean a relief instead of waiting for Rendering [13:35] jMCg: http://linuxportal.by/paste/index.php?show=14 [13:35] Hi. Is there any way i can get a list of hardware on my ubuntu box? I'm having an issue with an onboard audio card not working. [13:35] easy-guy: point your browser to /var/www/phpmyadmin [13:35] !info hwinfo [13:35] hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2 (lucid), package size 45 kB, installed size 112 kB [13:35] northern_deer: yes, so what? You installed it through apt(-get|itude) -- it also means it's perfectly installed.. supposedly. And it means that you can just as well purge it. [13:35] martianixor: yes I know what you mean that is what I got the Emachines laptop for, if I need any power processing to be done [13:35] cmol: the 'hwinfo' tool is handy [13:36] mek8630: you can't do more tasks with rendering in background "Even with my hardware specs" [13:36] sometimes [13:36] great thanks! I'll my come back if it don't work.. [13:36] sinistrad, i already browsed but not worked [13:36] my ubuntu lucid is not having sound? How can I fix it? [13:36] martianixor: I am not sure what you mean by rendering? [13:36] jMCg: it doesn't work. it's supposed to work as a driver, yes? but Compiz says there is no drivers installed. and purging it doesn't work too [13:37] mek8630: High Definition videos or 3D animations sometimes [13:37] easy-guy: you might have to make sure there isn't any capital letters that were missed, and also that your symbolic link to the real phpmyadmin folder is correct [13:37] sinistrad, phpmyadmin installed in /etc/phpmyadmin [13:37] im getting my screen with some lines ocasionaly and once in a while swaping and bouncing very fast, it must be a driver problem :S how do i fix it? (ati radeon x2300) [13:37] martianixor: yeah I don't do much of that with this old laptop just streaming movies to the PS3 [13:37] easy-guy: your configs should be there, but the real one should be someplace like /usr/share/phpmyadmin [13:38] martianixor: it was mostly a project just to see if it could do it [13:38] \q [13:38] jMCg: and that's what is said when i'm purging it http://linuxportal.by/paste/index.php?show=13 [13:38] mek8630: yeah I figured :-) [13:39] martianixor: do you know of any clean up utility for ubuntu and xubuntu? [13:39] please tell me how can I enable sound in ubuntu 10.04. sound is not working [13:39] martianixor: like glary or ccleaner? [13:39] im getting some lines in the screen that apear and dissaperar very fast and also the screen some times goes black? [13:40] mek8630: I think I came across something like ccleaner although I never needed such things with Linux in general [13:40] sinistrad, /usr/share/phpmyadmin this is worked but now? [13:40] martianixor: Linux doesn't need those types of programs? I am wondering because it seems like this laptop has been slowing down lately [13:40] I have a strange problem with installing Ubuntu 10.04. The installer (desktop CD, 64-bit) sees no drives/partitions, but when I look in the console and type fdisk -l it DOES see the harddisk with 2 partitions (Windows 7 is installed, I want to dual-boot) [13:40] mek8630: I'm sure you can find out more on Ubuntu Forums, cause I can't recall at the moment [13:41] mek8630: I'll try to remember though :-) [13:41] easy-guy: you can point your browser there, or create a symbolic link in /var/www/ to point to it [13:41] Well.. i did hwinfo --sound, and i get nothing. So maybe there are no drivers for the sound card? [13:41] mek8630: slowing down, could be caused by a number of reasons, did you try a tool like htop? to monitor CPU/Mem usage [13:42] hi [13:42] martianixor: cool yeah I am still new to Linux and really feel pretty lost most the time [13:42] martianixor: yes my cpu has been running very high lately [13:42] martianixor: just to perform basic tasks [13:42] please tell me how can I enable sound in ubuntu 10.04. sound is not working [13:43] mek8630: well htop is a CLI utility that would tell you what's the process using your CPU/Mem the most [13:43] does the kubuntu install cd install any non-free software? [13:43] sinistrad, how to create symbolic link? [13:43] Hi,and revert back to an older version of gcc in ubuntu? [13:43] Hi,Can anyone tell me how to detect and revert back to an older version of gcc in ubuntu? [13:43] easy-guy: ln -s onething otherthing [13:44] mek8630: can you get it? [13:44] !pin | anirvana [13:44] anirvana: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [13:44] northern_deer: dpkg --purge --force-all fglrx && aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx -- that should get you somewhere.. [13:44] i have a problem before of the update of 10.04 i saw the networked hard disk now it's impossible. [13:44] martianixor: I am not sure but I will check into that [13:44] mek8630: first you need to know what's using your CPU [13:44] jMCg: thanks [13:45] easy-guy: "man ls" will get you a manual on that. The command is something like "ln -s", but check the man-page before I steer you wrong [13:45] mek8630: yes it's a very useful tool [13:45] sinistrad, ok === kasunvp_ is now known as kasun [13:45] i have a problem before of the update of 10.04 i saw the networked hard disk now it's impossible. can you help me? [13:46] i'm using the live CD. is there a way to eject the CD to free up the drive without installing to the hard disk? === kasun is now known as Guest33247 [13:46] martianixor: ok I am installing it now [13:46] hi this s Ragava [13:46] mek8630: as far as I recall ccleaner was mostly for Windows Registery, you don't have such thing in a Linux environment [13:46] Hello Ragav, I am from India too, :) [13:46] mek8630: great :-) [13:46] martianixor: yes ccleaner and glary is what I use for my windows op systems [13:47] why does kubuntu not have a sensible default iptables configuration? [13:47] i can neither eject the disk manually nor unmount it [13:47] pythonic: last i checked the default was no rules.. thats sensible. [13:47] and i have a hunch overriding the tray lock will lead to disaster === Guest33247 is now known as kasunvp_ [13:47] hi sorry. i didnt get round to doing this earlier, to remove an empty mount point, would i use sudo rmdir /media/ipod [13:47] Dr_Willis: no rules is insane [13:47] mek8630: well you don't need that with Ubuntu, so let's see what's eating your system's resources [13:47] pythonic: no it is not. [13:47] if i wanted to remove the ipod dir? [13:48] Dr_Willis: yes it is [13:48] pythonic: take it to the forums or ubuntu-offtopic then. if you want to argue the point. [13:48] no rules is SUICIDE [13:48] jMCg: http://pastebin.com/7LbV6uqy [13:48] i do have enough ram to keep the cd content in a ramdisk however, if thats an option [13:48] pythonic: thats debateable.. elsewhere. [13:48] * CyberaX2195 hopes somone will SRU the patch he just pasted :S [13:48] any hints? [13:48] no rules is MURDER [13:48] pythonic: whatever. [13:48] hello [13:49] no rules is OBAMA [13:49] Cyber_Akuma, bug # ? [13:49] no rules is off-topic [13:49] pythonic: Enough [13:49] !guidelines > pythonic [13:49] pythonic, please see my private message === kasunvp_ is now known as gaveen_ [13:49] Pici: more than enough [13:49] Pici: ubuntu is too much [13:49] mek8630: got it installed? [13:50] ubottu: oh, so now there are rules? [13:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:50] amee2k: i assume that was for me, its the one for tar regarding the problems with futimens() and changes to glibc unfortunately i cant access launchpad atm === gaveen_ is now known as kasunvp_ [13:50] (Error ID: OOPS-1620G1111) << just gives that heh [13:50] hu? [13:50] martianixor: well it's not letting me download it, it says that it requires installation of untrusted packages and I click ok and it stops the download. It doesn't give me any other option [13:50] CyberaX2195: Well, make sure you've gone through the SRU policy ;) (and for packaging/sponsoring in universe, #ubuntu-motu is the place) [13:51] i asked how to eject the live cd while running it [13:51] CyberaX2195: Try again, launchpad can be quirky at times... [13:51] !resetpanels|Oer [13:51] Oer, please see my private message [13:51] I have a strange problem with installing Ubuntu 10.04. The installer (desktop CD, 64-bit) sees no drives/partitions, but when I look in the console and type fdisk -l it DOES see the harddisk with 2 partitions (Windows 7 is installed, I want to dual-boot) [13:51] They really need to make some 'reset tool' that lets users reset their panels and stuff :) perhaps other apps as well. [13:51] mek8630: how did you install ? [13:51] amee2k: unless you used TORAM=yes when booting it, there is a very good reson it won't allow ejection... [13:52] Nvidiot: you're not alone :) === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [13:52] arand: theres a toram option? How have i overlooked that all these years... [13:52] Dr_Willis: Have you looked at the Janitor tool? It may have some options like that in there, I haven't played with it myself to try though. [13:52] through the ubuntu software center [13:52] northern_deer you have the same problem? [13:52] restarting X... [13:52] not me, sorry [13:52] Dr_Willis: New in lucid ;) [13:52] sinistrad, i have created it but not working [13:52] Pici: that janitor tool is the sort of tool that.. well.. shouldent be used. :) [13:52] arand: yeah, because it keeps it mounted i suppose [13:52] Dr_Willis: Oh :( [13:52] arand: ok :) [13:52] mek8630: do an update, do you know how? [13:53] Pici: yea. it has a lot of odd quirks :) dosent let you reset just the settings either. [13:53] arand: i'll try the toram=yes thing === ndpnotathome is now known as NDPNotAtHome [13:53] I'm totally confused as to why this can happen. It can't be a driver problem, because fdisk sees it. Installer bug? [13:53] . [13:53] mek8630: also, do you update whenever there's an update available? [13:53] Nvidiot: ive seen others mention the installer not beign able to see partitions. never seen a fix mentioned however [13:53] martianixor: yes I always make sure I keep it up to date [13:53] arand: nope :P launchpad is timing out with an error hehe, and the patch was released in January by a debian developer, i just cross pasted it, as one of the comments stated that he wanted a patch for just that bug. found the url finally - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+bug/539814 [13:53] mek8630: first of all, do you do any production work on this Ubuntu? [13:53] does ubuntu install cd install any non-free software? [13:54] Dr_Willis: Pici: CJ can be used (e.g. removing old kernels) But one has to be _careful_, since it tends to suggest manuallly installed packages for removal :/ [13:54] martianixor: production work? === imlad is now known as imlad|webinar_dr [13:54] mek8630: video editing? [13:54] arand: at one time. i recall it removing the in use kernel also. :) [13:54] pythonic: I believe that it does not do so by default. [13:54] pythonic: no [13:54] martianixor: yes [13:54] how hard or easy is it to install Ubuntu with a separate /home and system partition? [13:54] arand: but that may bee fixed now. (i hope) [13:54] mek8630: what tool are you using? [13:54] how do you edit the boot-time options in whatever bootloader the live cd uses? [13:54] Dr_Willis lovely. I suppose I could try a 9.10 CD and upgrade to 10.04 if that works. Or maybe 9.04, I think I have that cd somewhere [13:54] Dr_Willis: I do to... [13:54] Pici, Galerien: ok, thanks [13:54] untmdsprt: rather trivial. :) [13:54] hitting 'e' as in grub doesn't work [13:54] now i know i am undefiled [13:54] untmdsprt: you just have to make several partitions and select /, /home, /opt... [13:55] under manual configuration? [13:55] nevermind, its F6 [13:55] untmdsprt: / /home and a 'swap' is about all i do. [13:55] untmdsprt: if you can count and read.... that's ok, yes, manual configuration [13:55] mek8630: OK back to your problem, was making sure of the tools you need most [13:55] Pici: pythonic it does install some apps like firefox it has licenses like MPL(not so free) and GPLv* [13:55] arand: is capitalization in TORAM=yes important? [13:55] jMCg: still the same problem, maybe reinstall ubuntu? :'-( [13:55] Dr_Willis: Galerien: I haven't seen an automatic way [13:55] Dr_Willis I'm going to try creating a / and swap manually, see if it'll see those. If not, I'll try a 9.04 or 9.10 upgrade :) [13:56] MPL is in place for example icon is not free [13:56] amee2k: I'm not sure, but I know it worked for me WITH, capitalization. [13:56] gnomefreak: i don't care about non-free icons [13:56] but adobe flash is intolerable [13:56] mek8630: see if there updates available, then try to install htop again [13:56] pythonic: and usefull in some cases... [13:56] Galerien: ok, thanks [13:56] mek8630: you had this problem earlier before I told you about htop? [13:56] pythonic: you asked and there are other things in the MPL just used that as an example [13:57] martianixor: yeah I already made sure everything was up to date before I got on this chat [13:57] martianixor: no [13:57] untmdsprt: if you need some additional support, just /query Galerien [13:57] pythonic: nothing that is a full non-free app is not installed by default [13:57] martianixor: I think I know what is running my cpu up as far as processes [13:58] martianixor: I think its my torrent client [13:58] mek8630: you could try top [13:58] actually I would love to be able to put ubuntu on an external drive, but I don't think it's possible yet [13:58] mek8630: see if you have top installed [13:58] untmdsprt: people have done so [13:58] gnomefreak: with a Mac? [13:58] martianixor: top is installed by default IIRC [13:58] martianixor: ages ago i had some issues with rtorrent (i think) or some torrent lib that a lot of torrent clients used that sucked up 100% of one cpu on my multi cpusuyste, [13:58] also, kann mir jemand mit playOnLinux helfen? [13:58] gnomefreak: thanks :-) [13:58] untmdsprt: i dont know i never tried [13:58] i like "atop" better than "top" [13:59] untmdsprt: I have a ubuntu on a usb stick...

[14:11] ntr0py: it tells gdm to wait so long for the X server(and drivers) to get going/started befor it thinks theres a probpem (from what i recall reading) Think about what you are asking.. GDM is using X. how can it wait for X to start when it has to start X.. its 'watching' for a set amount of time for X to get started up - beor it goes into a 'it crashed lets do somthing mode' (at least thats how I [14:11] understand it) [14:11] stix: might already be installed. try removing the offending plugin. [14:11] sipior, I removed it, but it is not showed as installed [14:12] Hi everyone [14:12] stix: have a go from the terminal: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" [14:12] jrib: http://linuxportal.by/paste/index.php?show=15 [14:12] martianixor: just messin around my pain meds are kickin in and feel kinda retarded [14:12] sipior, no such package [14:13] mek8630: no worries I was just busy Rolling on Floor Laughing [14:13] northern_deer: why are you using -proposed? [14:13] I run ubuntu 10.04, and the look of my Empathy status icons are the old one, with the green dot and the red triangle, How can I put the new ones ? [14:13] Dr_Willis: i tried your files and the login somehow looked different (so i suspect it honors GdmXserverTimeout=60) but unfortunately i have the same error... [14:13] martianixor: oh I thought maybe I was gettin to weird [14:13] martianixor: I tend to do that [14:13] stix: try "apt-cache search sun | grep plugin" you may need to enable another repository, but i don't have a 10.04 box to hand to check. [14:13] jrib: does it change anything here? [14:14] northern_deer: does the problem exist with the package not from -proposed? [14:14] I run ubuntu 10.04, and the look of my Empathy status icons are the old one, with the green dot and the red triangle, How can I put the new ones ? [14:14] stix, enable the partner repo [14:14] mek8630: heh it's cool no worries [14:14] someone tell me something cool I can do with my ubuntu netbook..... [14:14] !partner | stix [14:14] stix: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [14:14] cool [14:15] bazhang: much obliged, sir. [14:15] northern_deer: -proposed is meant for people who want to help fix a bug/issue, report, and try to resolve issues like your current one when they come up. It's not meant for the average person to use [14:15] martianixor, mek8630 #ubuntu-offtopic please [14:15] how do i change the hostname of my pc? [14:15] !hostname | Avasz [14:15] Avasz: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [14:15] bazhang: yeah sorry, thanks for warning :-) [14:15] jrib: thanks, i didn't know [14:15] jrib: so what next do i need to do? [14:15] Pici, what does current hostname mean? the one thta is now? or another after i change? [14:16] northern_deer: get rid of -proposed for starters [14:16] bazhang: we weren't off topic it was code [14:16] mek8630: may I PM? [14:16] martianixor: cool [14:17] Avasz: I normally make sure that I am using sudo -i or I already have both files open with a privleged user before saving. I'm not sure which order causes the breakage, sorry :/ [14:17] jrib: i know i'm dumb, but how? :D [14:17] bye bye [14:17] northern_deer: Software Sources [14:18] I've got three PCs: 1) Ubuntu 2) Win2003 3) WinXP. There are SMB shares on both 1 and 2. When i use 3 to copy from one share to another, the speed is ~5MB/s. But when i smbmount 2's share to 1 and copy directly from 1 to 2, the speed is only ~1.5MB/s. Why? How to fix that? [14:18] This helped alot :) Thanks guys [14:19] jrib: software sources - updates - uncheck "proposed", right? [14:19] northern_deer: [14:19] northern_deer: yes [14:19] Hello, is there an issue with repository package download this morning? [14:20] ganadist: try a different mirror [14:20] HI+ [14:20] ÀÒPKÀÙÈPK [14:20] gafir: yes, lots of reports of slowness [14:21] packages.medibuntu.org is hot [14:21] ganadist: there does seem to be for me at least [14:21] jrib: yes its very low [14:21] salve [14:21] !it | utente [14:21] utente: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [14:21] jrib: thanks [14:21] gafir: what mirror are you using? [14:22] I would like a recommendation. I want to run a few copies of Windows in virtual machines and have them talk to each other. Which virtual machine software should I use? [14:22] well i supposed us.archive.ubuntu.com [14:22] ma io ho l'italiano [14:22] # [14:22] gafir: you may have better luck with a local mirror [14:22] utente, This is an english language chat. [14:22] jrib: i'll check it out [14:22] jrib: thanks [14:22] jrib: i use local mirror but its also laging [14:22] jrib: I was just trying to download/install cowsay anyway :-) So it's not like a top emergency thing [14:23] jrib: don't you know how to get rid of fglrx at last? [14:23] wise_crypt: that's pretty strange === Bersam1 is now known as esimi === esimi is now known as Bersam [14:23] northern_deer: does downgrading it work? [14:23] dsnyders: Whichever you prefer. VirtualBox is a fairly easy one and the open source edition is in the repos. [14:23] so ubuntu uses upstart [14:24] jrib: down... what? :) [14:24] northern_deer: sudo apt-get install fglrx=2:8.723.1-0ubuntu3 [14:24] geirha, so they will all let me "network" the virtual machines together? [14:25] dsnyders: I would be surprised if any of them didn't. [14:25] ok, say i have an /etc/init.d/iptables script on debian that starts after the "ifupdown" script and before the "networking" script. how do i configure that on ubuntu? [14:25] dsnyders: In virtualbox you go to the network tab of the vm and set it to "internal" net (or something along those lines) [14:25] what's the best method to have a service automatically started on boot ? [14:26] wrksx: what service? [14:26] how can i find out the default encoding used by the machine i am ssh'd to? [14:26] jrib, qmail [14:26] what's uppp [14:27] wrksx: if it doesn't already startup automatically when you install it, /msg ubottu startup [14:27] jrib, I have a script, qmailctl which accept {start|stop|restart|doqueue|flush|reload|stat|pause|cont|cdb|queue|help} [14:27] jrib, it's hand compiled and won't start automatically, according to the docs [14:28] northern_deer: I have to leave now, if that doesn't work. Explain to the channel your issue again nad what we have done so far [14:28] jrib: thanks [14:28] is there anyway to see what errors may be hiding in crontab? I thought I had a cronjob setup to run a few .sh scripts to backup my SQL databases every night but there's no dumps and I honestly don't think anything is getting ran in cron! [14:29] wrksx: /msg ubottu startup then. You'll likely either want to create an upstart job, use /etc/rc.local, or, if you can find one already created (so creating an upstart job would be more work), use an old sysv-init-style script (I have to go now) [14:29] i keep getting this error.. "Unable to connect to archive.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: 91.189.88.40 80]".. even after the apt-get update.. [14:29] xomp: setup local mail, you'll get mail from cron. Or just redirect the output in your cronjob somewhere [14:29] Dr_Willis: i got it working somehow: i replaced /usr/sbin/gdm-binary with a shellscript delaying the execution of /usr/sbin/gdm-binary.real (which i renamed the original /usr/sbin/gdm-binary to)... so I suspect there indeed is a race in upstart between dkms/nvidia and gdm which simply starts too early... this is a bug in lucid / upstart ?? [14:29] geirha, Thanks. I'll give virtualbox a try. Although I may wait until tonight. Sounds like there's issues with the repositories at the moment. [14:30] jrib, I think a local mail was setup, yet I know not how to access it heh [14:30] arand: hmmm... now its freezing on boot :( [14:30] jrib, when logging into ssh I get "You have new mail. [14:30] " [14:31] xomp: type "mail", or if you want something fancier, use mutt === Lulzim_flossk is now known as alket_flossk [14:31] -bash: mail: command not found [14:31] I run ubuntu 10.04, and the look of my Empathy status icons are the old one, with the green dot and the red triangle, How can I put the new ones ? [14:31] how you guys doin [14:31] anyone help me plz ? [14:32] hey what are some good irc channels / websites for finding out about new linux apps [14:32] xomp: bsd-mailx provides it for me [14:32] !e17 [14:32] Enlightenment (or "E") is a window manager for X, providing a useful, and good looking graphical shell in which to work. E17 is the current development version. [14:32] Hey, I need to have my MTA started automatically on startup, I'm on ubuntu, and got no GUI. I already got a script wich permits to control the server: qmailctl {start|stop|restart|doqueue|flush|reload|stat|pause|cont|cdb|queue|help} [14:33] what can I do ? [14:33] hey guys i got a question. i'm pretty sure the answer is no but i wanna check. i got in the starcraft 2 beta today and i was wondering if sc2 might possibly work in wine? [14:34] frank1e, check the appdb and ask in #winehq [14:34] frank1e: the wine dev guys have a pretty large database of stuff that is known/not known to work === Votang is now known as Votang|off [14:34] !appdb | frank1e [14:34] frank1e: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:34] what bazhang said :) [14:34] !init.d [14:34] umm what is !appdb sorry im new to ubuntu [14:34] frank1e: look at ubottu's response to you above. [14:34] http://appdb.winehq.org frank1e [14:34] Does anyone here knows how i can modify upstart job for gdm?? [14:34] !appdb [14:34] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [14:34] frank1e, /join #winehq [14:35] thanks guys [14:35] you're welcome :) [14:35] btw ubuntu kicks ass [14:35] * amee2k nods [14:35] i installed it about 2 weeks ago and the first night i was hooked i can't believe how bad it trarshes windows [14:35] hehe [14:35] !ot > frank1e [14:35] frank1e, please see my private message [14:35] i've got my desktop all tweaked out it's fun =) [14:35] been using it since 6.something [14:36] you know any good places to find out about new apps for ubuntu? [14:36] upgrading across versions however usually screws up a couple minor features each time [14:36] and maybe some good tricks for speeding it up amd tweaking it? [14:37] man it's incredible it really beats windows in every way [14:37] i think that was the general idea, yes ;) [14:37] are the repos ridiculous slow for everyone else? [14:37] In ubuntu when I install a package it's deps get intstall. but when I remove the package the deps do not get removed. how do I remove the deps? [14:37] When I put my computer to suspend, and then wakes it up, Empathy (Indicator Applet Session) is set to away. I guess it sets the status to away before doing a suspend or something, but I don't want it to do that. How can I disable auto away when suspending? [14:38] !upstart | ntr0py [14:38] ntr0py, please see my private message [14:38] mikedub_: yes for me [14:38] tbic: try sudo aptitude remove ... [14:38] that works for me at least [14:38] iirc that graphical package manager does it too [14:39] but i didn't use that in a year or so [14:39] amee2k: sudo apt-get remove [14:39] wise_crypt: iirc that doesn't automatically remove auto-installed dependencies [14:39] which is what tbic desires ;) [14:40] wise_crypt: where are you geographically? [14:40] amee2k: thats an urban legend [14:40] I'm in .ca [14:40] I'm looking from something like emerge --prune [14:40] trying to figure out if it's local [14:41] because, of course, i'm trying to set up a server in a time crunch [14:41] hi, does anyone how to reproduce quicktime videos on ubuntu????? [14:41] amee2k: Well, it needs to load the whole CD to RAM, it will take a while... [14:42] err, guys, what's the link that explain you how to change your screen resolution? [14:42] !fixres [14:42] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [14:42] jrib, I can't find any info on reading the email cron generates in SSH and I know I've done it before, so weird. [14:42] thanks erUSUL [14:43] arand: the cd drive is inactive. its spun down and i can even take out the disk [14:43] does anyone how to watch quicktime videos in ubuntu??? [14:43] cAs - vlc player [14:44] amee2k: Hmm, well in that case, maybe it failed, I'm not sure if there was a huge amount of testing done with the option, it was simply enabled, since a long-standing bug had been fixed which blocked it, might now work for your machine then :( [14:44] phylock, thank you. Theres no way watching it with gnome player? [14:44] Hm. It gets weirder. Ubuntu 10.04 desktop does NOT see the disk in the partitioning tool. Server DOES, but seems to install the dmraid module to run it. The odd thing is: the drive is configured as IDE mode in the bios, not AHCI or RAID [14:45] arand: i see. to be sure i checked the cd for defects but it came out fine. [14:45] arand: i'll think up something different then... thanks for the hint though :) [14:45] how do i configure a script to start before /etc/init.d/networking script? [14:46] Anyone else having problems with the update sites this morning? [14:46] Hey guys, I can't for the life of me find how to change the mirrors (besides editing sources.list) from the command line. Is there a tool for that? us.archive.ubuntu.com is resolving very slowly for me [14:46] Hi, i just installed WIn XP on virtual box, can anyone tell me how can i get in to share folders from ubuntu in to windows XP ? [14:46] Anyone know how to configure apparmor? [14:46] cAs - im not sure, haven't tried === _HardDisk is now known as HardDisk [14:46] Snadder: My suggestion: /etc/init.d/apparmor stop [14:46] gotta run pick up some shit now. bbl [14:47] !apparmor | Snadder [14:47] Snadder: For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [14:47] phylock, thank you, im gonna install it right now. Dyou think its the best music player? [14:47] hi #ubuntu. #vmware suggested i ask this here: when i mount a usb device through vmware to an ubuntu guest, what's the device file? [14:47] DSpair, I whould like to learn abit more about it.. how to configure event support for mysql with apparmor.. cant be that hard. [14:48] hey guys i'm wondering how i can get info on what program i would need or how to edit / modify the bottom bar that lists open windows.. and not with prefgerences [14:48] Snadder: See the link above and look at section 3.4 [14:48] My system monitor reports 100% cpu usage cycling back and forth between CPU1 and CPU2, but No processes are reported to use that much cpu. Anyone what what it means? [14:48] what program do they use to design them [14:48] cAs - its a movie player, not a music player [14:48] levity_island: you mean.. where is it mounted in the ubuntu guest? [14:48] scunizi: yeah [14:49] phylock, ye i know, it was a mistake hehe. Anyway, do you think ts the best? [14:49] i.e. when i go to do "mount /dev/foo /mnt/usbkey", what is "foo" [14:49] hello! after the last dist-upgrade a few days ago, my network interfaces do not configure automatically. 'sudo service network-interfaces start' reports an error: start: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE [14:49] I'm having trouble getting my screen resolution to remain persistent between reboots. I've put in an xrandr command in /etc/gdm.. and also checked xorg.conf, and it shows my monitor and the resolution it should be, but it starts up gnome at the wrong resolution. [14:50] levity_island: you can open a terminal and type sudo mount .. which should respond with everything that is mounted and where. [14:50] cAs - it play anything, even if there is errors in the file there is a good chance its able to play it anyway [14:50] scunizi: i don't think it was auto-mounted -- i have a minimal server install [14:51] Hi [14:51] I need some help using DNN on Ubuntu [14:51] phylock: ok thanks!! :) [14:51] cAs - but they could do somthing with the design :/ [14:51] Venkat: DNN? [14:52] hi Slart [14:52] hello Venkat [14:52] levity_island: if it didn't auto mount you might be able to force it with sudo mount -a .. I'm not sure what the "foo" should be. [14:52] hi [14:52] phlyock: well for me the priority right now is being able to watch a quicktime video so if VLC can do it, PERFECT! :) [14:53] DNN menu generates a different html in Firefox on Ubuntu [14:53] has anyone here got qq to work in empathy? I get an authentication fail, but I know my username and password are correct. [14:54] good morning! Anyone good with triaging a new Ubuntu 10.04 user trying to get their ATI card up and running properly? [14:54] and i dont see any CSS for that to display drop down for DNN menu [14:55] scunizi: ah, i found it by looking in "dmesg"; it was /dev/sdb1 [14:55] anyone know of any issues with the archive servers? I can't seem to download from them === GB_ is now known as Guest47164 [14:55] specifically us.archive.ubuntu.com [14:56] nub_cakes: They're currently under a bit of load from the updates [14:56] levity_island: I was just googling and there is a program for servers you can install called "usbmount" .. which will automount your usb devices. [14:56] Where is the nvidia proprietary driver started (upstart)? [14:56] Pici: anyway I could change sources.list to point somewhere else under less load? [14:57] nub_cakes: System>Administration>Software Sources has a tool to change the server easily. [14:57] Pici: ubuntu server [14:57] nub_cakes: Or you could use https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors to find a faster mirror :) [14:57] Hi Does any one work on DotNetNUke [14:57] that's what I was looking for. thank you :) [14:58] try to enable .net libs in ubuntu.. then try DNN [14:59] i am trying to use the alternate install cd. but whatever I try, all I get is a blank screen [14:59] what would cause service to tell me "reload: Unknown instance:" when i do service ssh reload? /etc/init.d/ssh reload works fine [15:00] same when I do "Check disk for defects". But I checked the md5sum of the burned disk, which was correct [15:01] brodie: I thought those two command were just alias.. ie they run the same thing.. or? [15:01] Slart: google tells me only "start" is implemented for the service command [15:01] so i guess that answers my question. invoke-rc.d works [15:01] is this the right channel to ask for some tech help? [15:02] brodie: odd.. I thought service was supposed to replace the /etc/init.d/ thingy [15:02] hello [15:02] any Ardour users here? [15:02] Anyone know why Ubuntu is using dmraid to interact with my harddisk when it's not configured as RAID in the bios? (Motherboard: Asus P7P55D LE) [15:03] ah nvmnd [15:03] am doing a checkinstall and i want the output to be in STDOut and append to a file , can i do 'checkinstall >> ~checkinstalllogfilename [15:04] data: they put the "splash" and "quiet" options on the boot command line, so you can less easily see where it stops. but you can remove those options (arrow keys, backspace) [15:04] ulkn: i did, same result [15:04] I get the logging output about my disk, then the screen blankens [15:04] would any one know why a boot up hangs on the message: Data: clean, */* files, */* blocks [15:05] ? [15:05] I have a very weird problem with an old pc with i810 graphics. It works fine with the original Ubuntu user, but if I create any new accounts, then I will get lockup messages about drm when starting gdm, and it will crash back to login screen [15:05] restarting gdm I should say [15:05] hello all [15:05] am doing a checkinstall and i want the output to be in STDOut and append to a file , can i do 'checkinstall >> ~checkinstalllogfilename [15:05] the additional users can be logged into from cli just fine [15:06] or does anyone have a solution to the: ubuntu /init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0 issue? [15:06] sbad: it means you don't have a cdrom in the drive [15:06] howdy [15:07] data: other than trying the boot options that turn off features (e.g. acpi=off), i don't know [15:07] Does anyone have a solution to this either? I posted this in a big forum-over 30 uniqs, no replies [15:07] ikonia: why would I need one? [15:08] can anyone confirm that the vlc package for Ubuntu 10.04 is missing vlc-plugin-alsa [15:08] so, in other words, X only locks up with additional gnome users-not the original gnome user. However, the additional users can be logged into from anything else, like an xterm [15:09] selenia: do the users have differing group memberships? check the output of the id command [15:10] I checked that, the additional ones seem to be added to all the relevant groups [15:10] including video [15:10] selenia, the new user should install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu and perhaps ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:10] selenia: There is an open issue with this for Lucid. [15:10] selenia: "relevant"? the memberships should be _identical_ [15:10] I can't even login to the new user from gnome [15:10] I get the res change [15:10] then it crashes back to gdm login [15:10] can anyone confirm that the vlc package for Ubuntu 10.04 is missing vlc-plugin-alsa? [15:11] guest205: hang on.. let me check [15:11] I mean I checked all the groups that seem related to video issues [15:11] and they all checked out fine [15:11] my computer was working fine last night, then this morning it hangs on bootup saying: [15:11] Data: recovering journal [15:11] Data: clean, */* files, */* blocks [15:11] Slart: ok, thanks [15:11] selenia: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546578 [15:13] How can I switch between windows within a tightvnc session? alt tab switches windows on my client machine..not the server [15:13] so I tried to use a live USB to see if i can mount my drives, but then I get the /dev/srX missing [15:13] how do i configure a script to start before the /etc/init.d/networking script? [15:13] guest205: vlc-nox has /usr/lib/vlc/audio_output/libalsa_plugin.so .. I think the vlc package is just the video stuff for X [15:13] DSpair my issue seems a bit different,. It seems it actually crashes and goes back to login screen [15:13] Slart: ok, i'll try that package [15:13] gnome-screensaver does not even get a cgance to display the screensaver === jtrucks_ is now known as jtrucks [15:14] Slart: vlc-nox is already the newest version. [15:14] there are also some probs with aptitude not responding on the desktop...had to update/upgrade from the tty ...switched to apt-get at the tty to update/upgrade and that solved the prob [15:14] selenia: OK, wish I could have been more helpful [15:14] guest205: then you should have alsa support.. what version of vlc do you have installed? [15:15] guest205: I've got 1.0.6 Goldeneye [15:15] can anyone tell me the meaning of --> insmod: error inserting 'xx.ko' : -1 invalid module format [15:15] DSpair it's ok. Just wish I could solve this thing because I can't imagine what's wrong with an unused user that is not wrong with my main user [15:15] my main user works 100% of the time [15:16] Slart: i have 1.0.6 Goldeneye also [15:16] ulkn: i tried all of those, no change [15:16] guest205: and in tools, plugins and extensions there is no "ALSA audio output" listed? [15:17] selenia: Do you have a file in you rhome directory called .xprofile? [15:17] yes, that machine does. [15:18] I can ssh in if you need [15:18] Slart: its displaying, guess its not showing in the gui [15:18] can anyone tell me the meaning of --> insmod: error inserting 'xx.ko' : -1 invalid module format [15:18] selenia: Then I would suspect that something in your xprofile is enabling your user to work [15:18] Slart: is it showing up for you in the Stream Capture Devices drop-down? [15:19] dum: dmesg probably can. [15:19] guest205: preferences, audio, Output type doesn't list it? [15:19] dum: probably means wrong endianness, wrong platform, wrong kernel version. [15:19] my bad, the file doesn't exist on that machine [15:19] good thing I sshed to check [15:19] guest205: ehm.. nope.. but that's for video.. I think [15:19] selenia: bummer, I thought that could have been what's causing the difference [15:20] guest205: are we talking about alsa output or input? I kind of assumed you meant output [15:20] Slart: how do i stream the audio from alsa://hw, the #videolan people think its an ubuntu issue [15:20] jMCg: it's a driver module i'm compiled on another machine (running hardy ) [15:20] it happens on a totally new install. sudo service gdm restart causes lots of buffer reclaim and lockup messages after logging into new users [15:20] are there any QQ users in here at the moment? [15:20] any new user [15:20] dum: 14:19 < jMCg> dum: probably means wrong endianness, wrong platform, wrong kernel version. [15:20] new user accoubnt I mean [15:20] jMCg: so do you suggest i compile it on this new machine [15:21] How can I switch between windows within a tightvnc session? alt tab switches windows on my client machine..not the server [15:21] i did my updates now. i saw a new linux version. i restrt my computer. but i dont know if i am using the new linux kernel or not ? how can i leanr it ? [15:21] Start: whatever it would require to stream, if i can hear the line-in on alsa://hw, its an input or output issue? [15:21] *learn [15:21] dum: what, exactly, does dmesg say? [15:22] dmesg: can you please tell me the meaning of --> insmod: error inserting 'xx.ko' : -1 invalid module format [15:23] sowhat_21, run uname -a in the terminal [15:23] hey guyys [15:23] BluesKaj-Laptop: 2.6.32-22-generic it is the latest ?

I use compiz settings to embed a terminal in my desktop but I also want to embed my buddy list on the desktop and i dont know the syntax to add another window in compiz [15:24] example title=frank1e term << being the window name [15:24] What should I use to easily create simple sequence diagrams like UMLs Message Sequence Diagrams? [15:24] how do i add a second window [15:25] like title=frank1e term, Buddy List?] [15:25] sowhat_21, yes [15:25] If anyone has any idea plz help [15:25] BluesKaj-Laptop: ok tahnks!

[15:26] hmmm. lucid seems to lack package that installs sun java. Is there a repository where I can get it with apt-get? [15:26] Im going to buy a new laptop with windows 7 home. i can install inside it ubuntu without killing the guarantee?? [15:27] sowhat_21: That's up to whomever you're buying it from [15:27] sowhat_21: No way we could know [15:27] data: sorry the alternate install cd is broken for you. does another cd work for you? if so, it wasn't your fault [15:27] dum: can you give me an uname -a of both servers, please? [15:28] sowhat_21 I would try wubi. Then they can't say you removed the supported software. Just boot into Win7 when it's time for service [15:28] martian: they told me that it is possible if you recover your windows after insatall linux... [15:28] wubi resides as simply a large ntfs file [15:28] no partitioning [15:28] martian: but im worrying to do not recover windows again... [15:28] ulkn: the normal install cd works. But since my system broke with the update to lucid, i kind of needed the functionality on the alternate cd [15:28] part [15:29] <_6i> josmala_: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html [15:29] this is _old_ (5 years) hardware.

[16:10] that should start a working wm on your desktop [16:10] vmf007: yeah, but you'll probably have to replace 'vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic' with 'vmlinuz-2.6.28-19-generic' or something like that === Votang|off is now known as Votan [16:10] Dr_Willis: yes, tell me about it. it is perhaps because i run e16-gnome first. had some issues and removed it. [16:11] DrGrov: as a test you could make a new user (from the console, sudo adduser testuser) and see if gnome works for them. if it does work. then you proberly just need to clean out some gnome settings for the broken user. IF its broken for the new user.. well thats deeper issues [16:11] Dr_Willis: one sec. [16:11] DrGrov: You migjht need to reinstall the 'ubuntu-desktop' package [16:11] is it a long procedure? in other words, should i come back later, or is it some thing quick that I can stay here while u are here? [16:12] Dr_Willis: i tried reinstalling that but no luck it seems. [16:12] Dr_Willis: i will try the test user now to see what happens [16:12] hello all, I dont know what happens, but every button went mad, and some of AWN's applet is crashed; I compiled GTK+ only ? can it make this problem?

[16:12] In appearance how can I change the "visual effects" to "normal"or "extras".It cannot find the drivers [16:13] terry: and what is your video card/chipset? [16:13] VIA [16:13] falktx: I just tried installing the regular ubuntu repository wine and I get midi channels on my system [16:13] via makes a lot of different chipsets I recall :) [16:13] vmf007: basically, you need to boot off the live CD, edit a file and replace the part where it says UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with /dev/sda1 [16:13] how to mount an directory onto another in /etc/fstab? [16:13] !fstab | rafaelsoaresbr [16:13] rafaelsoaresbr: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:13] Slart: ubuntu-wine ppa? [16:14] falktx: nope [16:14] Where to get its drivers? [16:14] Slart: wine or wine1.2? [16:14] I'll give it a shot, see u in a bit [16:14] terry: what does 'lspci' say your card is exactly. [16:14] Dr_Willis: it is might strange. the settings are working out well for the 'testuser' [16:14] falktx: wine 1.1.42, I think the package was called wine 1.2 though [16:15] Dr_Willis: it looks like all my normal user buttons etc. are completely missing [16:15] Slart: i'll try a downgrade [16:15] Whats "lspci" [16:15] need help regarding Drupal [16:15] nybody thr? [16:15] DrGrov: Not really. :) sounds like your gnome sessions are messed up. From the console, You can login as your broken user and carefully reset the gnome settings by remioving various config files.. but what files.. well.. do you have any gnome settings you want to keep? or email? or anything special? [16:15] list pci cards/hardware [16:15] terry: a command you use in the terminal [16:15] is thr any DRUPAL user? [16:16] Dr_Willis: no email. just like to have my "current" look like it is :) [16:16] terry: you need to give us more info then just 'via' You could also install/run hwinfo from the package manager ifyou wanted to [16:16] gazal: state your problem and is anyone can help they will... === oo is now known as Bersam [16:16] gazal: just ask your question.. with all the details needed.. if someone knows the answer they might help you [16:16] whats "hwinfo" [16:16] terry, list pci cards/hardware [16:17] Dr_Willis: preferably keep my applications and such though. firefox bookmarks and such intact would be nice. [16:17] does ubuntu come with a vnc server? [16:17] i am unable to record using my microphone [16:17] Where to get its drivers? [16:17] DrGrov: no idea where thats saved. but the gnome settings are normally in .gnome .gnome2 .gconf and .gconfd (there may be others) make a directory (called OLD-GNOME) and just move the dirs to it. and try logging in again. [16:17] rafaelsoaresbr: yes.. I think there is something called vino that handle desktop sharing and such [16:17] Is someone here familiar with text to speech software? === issyl0_ is now known as issyl0 [16:17] terry: yet another program you can install and run to get hardware info. [16:17] rafaelsoaresbr: there's also other vnc servers you can install from the repos [16:18] Whats that? [16:18] terry: 'via' makes a LOT of differnt chipsets and cards.. [16:18] Dr_Willis: how about I reinstall the whole ubuntu-desktop again? [16:18] Dr_Willis: that helped last time I was having issues with KDE 4.x [16:18] DrGrov: that WONT reset the users settings.. that why. :) [16:18] I wonder what is the current state of the art, are text to speech programs still doing bi phone synthesis? [16:18] How to know whats mine? [16:18] DrGrov: and if the other user worked.. well that points to a setting issue [16:18] terry, a look at terminal commands at google-linux might help [16:18] rafaelsoaresbr, or just install tightvncserver through software center [16:19] Dr_Willis: yeah, true. how if I make myself a new user and copy my whole /home to the new user? [16:19] terry: install and run hwinfo and read the output. or look at the output of 'lspci' and see what it says about yoru video card [16:19] DrGrov: that user wont have sudo rights. [16:19] wessel: I don't think "state of the art" is free.. neither beer nor speech.. the free ones can be pretty horrible [16:19] how can I use freemarker?hey everybody [16:19] DrGrov: its easy to reset the gnome settings. Just move/rename/delete a few dirs.. and it goes back to defaults [16:19] Dr_Willis: oh damn. this will become increasingly insane. [16:19] Slart, ubutom: what is there in System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop ? VNC Server ? [16:19] DrGrov: If you simply back up all your 'dotfiles' (files in your home directory that are hidden / begin with a . ) then all your settings will be backed up regardless [16:19] something wrong with repositories anyone? [16:20] DrGrov: takes me all of like.. 40 sec to reset the settings.. (i do cheat and use the 'mc' file manager in the console) [16:20] martian, the main server is very slow today [16:20] rafaelsoaresbr: I think that's the vino configuration.. they just don't call it vnc [16:20] <_6i> hi, i would like to know, how come in lucid apt wont show me the 'ogre' source package, when i can find it on packages.ubuntu.com ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/ogre )? [16:20] err martianixor [16:20] <_6i> it's a source package, i tried 'sudo apt-get source ogre' while having enabled all repos in source mode too in /etc/apt/sources.list except the lucid-security [16:20] Dr_Willis: perhaps we can keep this as a PM? :) i am a slow boy today lol [16:20] rafaelsoaresbr: vinagre [16:20] I believe it'S a client rafaelsoaresbr , never used it to share my desktop, so I don't know if it's a full-grown vnc-server [16:20] BluesKaj: thanks :-) [16:21] DrGrov: move the .gnome* and .gconf* dirs to some other dir.. and try logging in. Its that simple. [16:21] Anyone know if its possible to switch a kvm switch from the os instead of pressing the button on the switch? [16:21] Dr_Willis: i am unable to record using microphone ,i have checked the mic in another comp [16:21] Slart, I think there are data driven speech synthesizers which are free, but they run on windows :-/ [16:21] _6i: Seems to be working here, are you getting an error when you try? [16:21] export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%h/%d - %H:%M:%S ' [16:21] i still get unix time format [16:21] wessel: ah.. I've only played with the linux ones.. didn't really search that much either, I must confess [16:22] Slart, marys: so, does ubuntu include a "built-in" vnc server? I will try accessing it from a remote computer. thanks! [16:22] wessel: lets hope some of it trickles over to our side of the yard =) [16:22] LS1: depends on the kvm, mine does by pressing scroll lock twice then the number of the screen to switch to, or scroll lock twice then an arrow [16:22] LS1: mine beeps when i press scroll lock twice to acknowledge the keypresses [16:22] rafaelsoaresbr: I'm not sure if it's installed/enabled by default or if it installs when you enable it in the preferences [16:23] installed hwinfo.How to check my VIA chipset details? [16:23] <_6i> Pici: no, just the tab auto-completion doesn't show such a package - i i get ogre-* though [16:23] Slart: downgrading works - http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/tmp/wine-alsa-now.png === Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno [16:23] Popey, cool thanx [16:23] _6i: I'm not sure if the auto-complete knows about source package names [16:23] Slart, I'm going to try using it. thanks man! [16:23] falktx: yay =) [16:23] rafaelsoaresbr: you're welcome [16:23] Dr_Willis Please help [16:24] <_6i> Pici: ok, then i try it just like that.. [16:24] terry: with what? [16:24] rafaelsoaresbr, you will likely have to share the host manually every time, tightvncserver starts automatically on system boot [16:24] installed hwinfo.How to check my VIA chipset details? [16:24] Slart: not yay [16:24] Slart: wine 1.2~rc2 is here [16:24] terry: run 'hwinfo' and read its output... [16:24] Slart: and i can't use it [16:24] How to run it? [16:25] rafaelsoaresbr: yes, but you van also install x11server from software manager if you want. Plus you need to make sure access like firewall, etc. is set up correctly. [16:25] Slart: they say wine recently chaned to openal implementation [16:25] *changed [16:25] I am interested in a way to run Ubuntu at the same time as my windows. [16:25] I have development environments running on my windows that I can't turn off. But I tried running Ubuntu in a VM using Virtualbox and it would only go to like 1024 pixels. [16:25] falktx: oh..but that shouldn't keep it from working with ubuntu.. or? [16:25] How to run it!Dr_Willis [16:26] lucenut: like in a vm? [16:26] Slart: no [16:26] lucenut: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/colinux-portable-ubuntu-for-windows/ [16:26] !vm | lucenut [16:26] lucenut: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [16:26] how do I set sgid flag for a directory? [16:26] Are other virtual environments better? I was hoping to just run it fullscreen and be able to almost forget about the windows running. [16:26] Slart: but i just need to find another solution [16:26] Dr_Willis Please help [16:26] <_6i> Pici: i see, now the 'gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found [16:26] terry: linux 101 ' open a terminal. type a commands name .. hit enter. [16:26] <_6i> dpkg-source: warning: failed to verify signature on ./ogre_1.6.4.dfsg1-1.dsc' lines suggest something.. :D [16:26] lucenut: install Sun/Oracle Virtual Box. [16:26] corin_: chmod?

Currently getting no sound output at all. [16:26] Ubottu if I dual boot I am not running them side by side. [16:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:26] lucenut, desktop resolution can be changed in virtual box preferences, or in the vm itself i think [16:26] lucenut, if you install the virtualbox guest additions/extensions in windows - you'll get full resolution amongst other things [16:27] ubutom: thanks. marys, ps: i use gufw. why doesn't ubuntu have firewall enabled by default? [16:27] Yeah, but 800x600 was the largest in Windowsbox. [16:27] My buddy installed something in ubuntu that made it go to 1024 I think. [16:27] lucenut, actually, otherway around - install the VB extensions in ubuntu [16:27] terry: the command --> lspci | grep VGA [16:27] Slart, what's the syntax? [16:28] VB extensions? What are those for? [16:28] vock, have you checked alsamixer ctrls in the terminal? [16:28] Hi all, I just upgraded to lucid and now the network manager applet wants me to reenter the WPA key for our wireless network every reboot, is this as intended ? [16:28] corin_: man chmod will tell you about the syntax.. or the wikipedia link on setuid [16:28] !who | lucenut [16:28] lucenut: 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 :) [16:28] lucenut, might not be the problem, but the virutal vga adapter also needs enough memory assigned, though it should be enough for more than 1024x768 [16:28] BluesKaj, yes I have, all volume levels are up, but still no sound [16:29] #ubuntu.pl [16:29] lucenut, the extensions are needed to give you full resolution (and other things like sound, networking, etc) [16:29] Ubuntu extensions? [16:30] vock, any Ms in the ctrl boxes...? if so navigate to them and use the M key to unmute [16:30] lucenut: the extensions are installed in the guest os.. so if I'm running windows in a vm I install the windows extensions inside the vm.. if I'm running ubuntu in a vm I install the linux extensions inside the ubuntu in the vm [16:30] lucenut, no, they're called "VirtualBox Guest Additions" - part of virtualbox itself, they need to be installed in ubuntu [16:31] VB=Virtual Box [16:31] Ah, thanks. [16:31] lucenut: sorry.. they are called Guest Additions.. not extensions.. my bad [16:31] lucenut: like unop said [16:31] or visual basic, scnr [16:31] So VB should be able to run fullscreen at 1900 pixels? [16:31] lucenut, yes [16:32] K, lemme try it. [16:32] hi all.... i'm about to install the 64 bit version of ubuntu..... i'm wondering if i can install virtualbox on it & run the 32 bit OS version (as a guest)... the reason being i need to be able to run oracle express, and i had a problem in the past with the 64 bit version of ubuntu [16:32] I'm using KDevelop 4.0.0 on Ubuntu. Everytime I close a file I'm editting, the list of open files gets shuffled. Any ideas on what could be causing it or how to fix it? I asked in #KDevelop, but I think the entire channel is afk :D [16:32] BluesKaj, ahh.. damnit I didn't check that [16:32] lucenut: sure.. it won't be native speed .. especially graphics can be tricky.. but it will work [16:32] Driver Modules: "via_rhine" [16:32] Hi, the hostname of my server is let's say 'server.sub.example.org'. I want it's domain name to be 'example.org' instead of 'sub.example.org'.. How would I accomplish this? (if it's even possible) [16:32] Does VNC use 5900 tcp port by default? I know ubuntu is lintening to this port here. [16:32] NeoCicak, sure [16:32] Dr_Willis help! [16:32] lucenut: don't expect to run any games released on this side of year 2000 =) [16:33] ubotum: thx! [16:33] rafaelsoaresbr: Yes, it does. [16:33] Dr_Willis please help! [16:33] rafaelsoaresbr: I think so, yes.. it might also add 1 to the port number for each new display [16:33] Slart, is virtual box the vm supporting dx9 or what was it again? [16:33] terry: the command --> lspci | grep VGA tells you your video card chipset. [16:33] Slart, I have never played a computer game. :-) [16:33] Hey, can anyone recommend a way to test the speed and reliability of my internet connection? I just had to install a wireless driver from source, want an objective test of it [16:33] lucenut, in the VB menu, Devices -> Install Guest Additions -- see http://linuxandfriends.com/2009/02/12/installing-virtualbox-guest-additions-in-ubuntu-linux/ [16:34] ubutom: well.. it has some kind of accelerated graphics.. I don't think it handles the entire dx9 api though [16:34] 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890CE Host Bridge [16:34] 00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[16:34] 00:00.5 PIC: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890CE I/O APIC Interrupt Controller [16:34] ? [16:34] BluesKaj, now it's working great [16:34] thanks a ton [16:34] is someone attacking the servers? [16:34] :I [16:34] nah [16:34] vock , np :) [16:34] OpenSourcedNick: Yes. [16:34] I just want to "live" in ubuntu for a month or so while still running my windows environment. [16:34] Pici, Slart, I've got, thanks, i'm remote controlling my system right now. [16:35] OpenSourcedNick: No, not really. [16:35] rafaelsoaresbr: great [16:35] jpds, stupid people, attackign freenode is like attacking greenpeace :I [16:35] OpenSourcedNick: It's just the OpenOffice security update. [16:35] Slart, found it, I think it's vmware workstation what I meant [16:35] lucenut: ah.. so no problem then.. it will handle regular graphics well enough.. at least good enough to use regular desktop software [16:35] how do i record bash history in human readable format and not unix time? [16:35] loopidity: date -R ? [16:35] Dr_Willis please help! [16:36] ubutom: ah.. I've never tried that [16:36] jpds in the .bash_history file i mean [16:36] !helpme | terry [16:36] terry: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [16:36] loopidity: export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T " [16:36] Slart, me neither, but I read about it. Well, it's commercial and virtualbox is free, so... ;) [16:36] Slart, i'm using openvnc in windows. but the screen resolution does not fit. [16:36] hello! after the last dist-upgrade a few days ago, my network interfaces do not configure automatically. 'sudo service network-interfaces start' reports an error: start: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE [16:36] terry: i think you ran the wrong command.. and dont paste 4+ lines here. [16:37] terry: the command is --> lspci | grep VGA [16:37] hello all [16:37] hey how do I restore my home directory which is hidden by ecryptfs? [16:37] loopidity, bash uses the timestamp internally - the HISTTIMEFORMAT variable is only used to format that timestamp when you use the history command [16:37] fanti , run sudo dhclient [16:37] rafaelsoaresbr: I've never used openvnc.. I think I used tightvnc or .. that other one...ehmm.. ultravnc.. one of those supports some kind of scaling [16:37] hola [16:37] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890CE/K8N890CE [Chrome 9] (rev 01) [16:38] unop gotcha [16:38] hey everyone. quick question. im gonna be partitioning my hdd soon. is there anyway i can make a copy of my ubuntu as it is now that i can install if i mess something up? [16:38] martian... [16:38] unop so ther is no way then? [16:38] Tahts whats it tells [16:38] hola [16:38] loopidity, that's because it would be too difficult for bash to parse any arbitrary date format you use - there is no way I know [16:38] terry: its very possible that thing has no 3d drivers for linux. You seem to have a 'Via K8M890CE/K8N890CE [Chrome 9]' thats worth rembering [16:38] I have 1360x768 in my Virtualbox Ubuntu. Is it possible to go bigger? [16:38] rafaelsoaresbr: or you can set it up in the vnc server.. if you're starting the vnc server from a command line there is a --geometry option I think.. but it's been a while since I messed with it so I might be mistaken [16:38] Slart, openvnc does not rezise video output. going to download tightvnc [16:38] how do i enable proprietary drivers? in system/admin/hardware drivers ...it says enabled but not in use [16:39] unop thats sad, i heard older version used to do it though [16:39] Slart, chmod g+s file # but how do i specify what group? [16:39] s/file/directory [16:39] Cant I set my apperance to atleast normal [16:39] ? [16:39] anybody? a way to make an exact copy of my ubuntu now that i can reinstall? [16:39] loopidity, you can always use the history command to create a new version of your ~/.bash_history with your preferred timeformat like this. HISTFORMAT="blah" history > new_histfile [16:39] corin_: eh.. stgid uses the group of the parent directory.. if I recall correctly [16:40] loopidity, you could ask the folk in #bash more about this. [16:40] unop yup, thought so [16:40] Goomba54, http://partedmagic.com/ [16:40] Cant I set my apperance to atleast normal?Dr_Willis [16:40] unop thanks, all the way i was in another bash channel and there were 4 ppl [16:40] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC [16:41] loopidity, sounds unofficial [16:41] martian? [16:41] Cant I set my apperance to atleast normal?Dr_Willis [16:41] ubutom: thanks! just what i was looking for === theos is now known as Guest47185 [16:41] Goomba54, np [16:41] Cant I set my apperance to atleast normal?Dr_Willis [16:41] Cant I set my apperance to atleast normal?Dr_Willis [16:41] I just did the following: "sudo mount -t ecryptfs /home/disappearedng/.Private /mnt/NewHome", but then when everything comes out, it's still the same old ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWas4uZ1hKdQbkSJ9UgFwduy7yCGzYrTJjKU.ruS1EgTKmZLWaOXSblsIk-- file like that what can i do? [16:41] Well.. guess.. i dont have finish my research for terry.. [16:42] ANyone know off hand if VIA Chrome9 even has 3d support? [16:42] Dr_Willis, think so, though I don't know if the linux drivers do [16:43] ubutom: thats what i was thinking.. no 3d for them. [16:43] ubutom: but im not 100% sure on that [16:43] Slart, http://pastie.org/private/hize5f8jifrcsqnx5cdw - am I missing something? [16:43] ubutom: i know better then to buy a system with via video :) [16:43] !info keryx [16:43] Package keryx does not exist in lucid [16:43] vmf007: yes? [16:44] Howdy Ya'll [16:44] Dr_Willis, it's DX9 capable, least on windows [16:44] thanks anyway [16:44] corin_: are you sure the setgid flag affects other directories? [16:44] ubutom: yea. but thats not really saying a lot these days. :) [16:44] hey, sorry [16:44] Dr_Willis, true :) [16:44] Dr_Willis: a quick google search shows from the openchrome wiki no 3d drivers and no hint at there ever being any [16:45] Slart, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setgid_on_directories - "Setting the setgid permission on a directory (chmod g+s) causes new files and subdirectories created within it to inherit its groupID" [16:45] I couldn't do the procedure cuz the error comes up right before I can hit the esc button to get into grub [16:45] corin_: hmm.. nevermind .. it should affect files and directories.. [16:45] bastidrazor: thats what i was googling for.. Oh well.. terry got booted anyway. [16:45] vmf007: You should boot to the live CD to do it [16:45] unop does history remember stuffs only after recent login? or can I make it store items of past few days as well [16:45] heh, it looks like in Kdevelop, every time I close a file the list of files opened is reversed. I have to close files in pairs to maintain my list in the proper order :D [16:46] Dr_Willis: seems some DRM issues are hindering the open source project [16:46] apparently it stoes only recent items after login [16:46] I am in live cd, it said to reboot and edit grub [16:46] My experience with S3 is, one can be lucky to have functional windows drivers :D [16:46] corin_: what are the owner:group for the /var/www/_sites folder? [16:46] ubutom: thats what i was thinking also [16:46] Is there any way to get the media keys on my KB to work in while in a fullscreen game? [16:46] hello people [16:47] loopidity, yes, you can control that with the histappend shell option -- see ''help shopt'' and ''man bash'' [16:47] can I change grub from live cd? and if so, how [16:47] I tried to reinstall the Broadcom driver and received an error that some patch was missing. I deleted it :-) now how do I fix this mess? [16:47] Slart, ah, you're right, i need to sgid directories already made, including _sites [16:47] loopidity, with histappend - history entries are appended to the histfile - and your histfile can be days, weeks or even years old -- it'll keep growing [16:47] no Man bashing allowed here! [16:47] Dr_Willis: problem solved. :) [16:47] i am new to ubuntu.i have recently installed compiz and for some reason i am not able to enable the visual effects. [16:48] DrGrov: and theres much rejoicing === torger is now known as shazzr [16:48] Dr_Willis: ah yes. i can be a bit more clever this time around ;) [16:48] DrGrov: after a few days if everything seems ok. You can clean out your backups you made [16:48] thanks unop, i will see into that [16:48] corin_: yep.. and set owner:group manually.. It doesn't do that for existing files/folders.. only new ones [16:48] Chatur: What kind of graphics card do you have? [16:48] Chatur: thats because you need the driver for your video card! [16:48] How to start task manager? [16:48] vmf007: The tutorial there explains it [16:48] aye, figured it meant that it wouldnt change the group of _sites, but would effect new files within _sites [16:49] hi anyone there ? [16:49] The_Real_Sam_Fis: Not if he doesn't use nvidia [16:49] mm_: yes [16:49] mm_: nope [16:49] would like to ask where can i fast learn shell script ?

[16:50] terry: i use 'htop' for my task manager [16:50] holas [16:50] No spanish please [16:50] Dr_Willis: there are task managers [16:51] sry [16:51] that's great :) it helps [16:51] unop looks like my .bashrc was set to append the history file, so now i only increased the histsize and histfilesize to 30,000 [16:51] ok [16:51] isn't holas greek? ;) [16:51] The_Real_Sam_Fis: i never really looked or needed them :) ps ax and kill ! :) [16:51] loculinux-client: there is an active spanish Ubuntu group! [16:51] !es | loculinux-client [16:51] loculinux-client: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [16:51] yeah what he said ! [16:52] it's all greek to me! [16:52] Greek Geeks :) [16:52] How to start task manager? [16:52] corin_: you're welcome [16:52] hmm Slart, what about changing umask just for /var/www/ (for default file permissions on future file/directories)? [16:52] How to start task manager? [16:52] or was it hellas? *shrug* [16:52] Anyone help on installing the Broadcom driver? [16:52] How to start task manager? [16:52] unop however, whatever commands i used yesterday are lost then? and no way to see them? === dobin is now known as nooob === nooob is now known as nooobo === bram_ is now known as bmm [16:53] still got that link martian? [16:53] Network Manager seems to not remember my WPA key after I reboot. It started after I upgraded to lucid. Any ideas ? [16:53] vmf007: http://computergyan.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/solving-the-busybox-black-screen-problem-in-grub2ubuntu9-10/ [16:53] corin_: try asking the channel.. I have to go get todays mail sent off before the post office closes.. [16:53] ok, cheers === Guest149 is now known as Kenet [16:54] thanks, I'll try again. [16:54] BlueParrot, think that's got something to do with the keyring thingy [16:54] ustian [16:54] Why doesn't Lucid scan for wifi in the area like previous versions? [16:54] ubutom, ok, what does that mean ? :P [16:54] hey [16:54] The_Real_Sam_Fis: I notifed that on my netbook it does.. but on my laptop it dosent.. [16:55] The_Real_Sam_Fis: well netbook scans/auto connects to the home lan.. laptop i always hage to tell it to do so. [16:55] BlueParrot, I get asked to set a password for keyring, I don't do it and I also have to type in the key everytime I boot [16:55] Dr_Willis: odd isn't it? Seems such a basic thing [16:55] ubottu, I don't get asked that [16:55] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:55] lol tab-fail [16:55] The_Real_Sam_Fis: my laptop is so 'weird; with wireless' the wireless device shows up as eth1 and the Network connection tool never shows its connected even if it is.. [16:55] Should the FQDN of a machine point to 127.0.0.1 or to one of the IPs of the machine in /etc/hosts? [16:55] ubutom, I don't get asked to set a keyring password though [16:56] BlueParrot, but I think there's an option in Network manager to save the password or make it availabe for all users or something like that, did that on another machine running 9.10 and it connected automatically [16:56] Dr_Willis: wow that's a mess [16:56] The_Real_Sam_Fis: might be a quirk with the STA driver my laptop is using [16:56] Pupeno: 127.0.1.1 hostname is min in /etc/hosts [16:56] The_Real_Sam_Fis: at least it works. :) [16:56] mine [16:56] BlueParrot, if you got time, I could boot that machine up and look :) [16:56] Pudgy, just localhost localdomain should point to 127.0.0.1 [16:56] Dr_Willis: Broadcom STA? [16:56] Slart: fixed now [16:56] FQDN names point to external ips [16:56] Slart: alsa midi/sound works after all [16:57] Slart: just wine not displaying it [16:57] The_Real_Sam_Fis: yep. I do have a different mini pci wireless card i could stick in it from a different laptop. :) [16:57] The_Real_Sam_Fis: i may test that out. [16:57] ubutom, naa, no need, I'll play a bit with it, and it's not the end of the world, if it's a common bug somebody mroe in the know iwll probably get it too and then we'll see a fix [16:57] Broadcom are a real pain but once they work they are fine [16:58] Pupeno: i was wrong.. look here http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName [16:58] BlueParrot, just booted, if you got 2 mins i can tell you more ;) [16:58] hi [16:58] Pupeno: 127.0.0.1 localhost www.mydomain.com is how mine is [16:58] ubutom, I tried enabling the "available to all users" , will have to see next reboot if it worked [16:59] hi [16:59] Scarlet: hello [16:59] My sound quality is horrific on Lucid, never was before. Can confirm it is not a problem with a particular port nor particular pair of speakers. Is this a known problem? [16:59] pedro: welcome my friend to the wonderful world of Ubuntu! [16:59] By horrific, I mean it sounds like the audio was overamplified, clipped, and then played. It sounds like the speakers are giving out, only they're not. [17:00] BlueParrot, yeah, I made the same thing [17:00] joshdreamland: Are you singing along? Perhaps that is the problem! [17:00] hi. which program could I use for extracting tracks from an audio cd into wav format? [17:00] The_Real_Sam_Fis: Oh, you're right! I hadn't noticed [17:00] LOL [17:00] :p [17:01] BlueParrot, just looked, I made a wireless connection and enabled it for all users, so the password get'S saved. I don't remember setting a password for keyring, so it should work [17:01] i have an ATI mobility Radeon 7500 graphics card,in IBM thinkpad r40 laptop.where can i get a driver for this graphic card? [17:01] vidur, system->administartion->hardware drivers [17:02] BlueParrot, I also enably connect automatically [17:02] *enabled [17:02] I know a lot of overhauling was done on 10.04's sound system, and it corrected a lot of problems with dropped buffers. I'm not sure where this problem came from out of that [17:02] joshdreamland: there is a possibilty that it is playing through the on board speaker that is supposed to beep for warnings? [17:02] vidur, though may be that its just to old a gfx to be supported beyond anything then the open source driver thats (should be) enabled by default. [17:02] The_Real_Sam_Fis: No, pcspkr's been blacklisted [17:02] ubuntulog, if the keyring works I'm fine with that because then I could just use my password and not having to remember the darn wep-key [17:02] joshdreamland: was a wild guess [17:02] Mine only ever beeped anyway [17:03] fail again [17:03] ubutom, see above :P [17:03] Yep, appreciated accordingly [17:03] Salut [17:03] joshdreamland: I am not sure what driver controls audio but that is the problem [17:03] vidur, can you set the resolution that you want? [17:03] ubutom, I must learn to tab-complete with care in big channels :) [17:03] Probably. Odd thing is, I never had this problem with Jaunty. [17:03] joshdreamland [17:04] are you using a beta or rc version? [17:04] acicula NO [17:04] Kenet: Of Lucid? === rafaelsoaresbr_ is now known as rafaelsoaresbr [17:04] joshdreamland: sounds like it guessed the wrong driver. Oh the pun! [17:04] I'm using whatever was available near the end of April [17:04] hola [17:04] yes [17:05] arrhenius: Bueno! [17:05] And have since updated regularly [17:05] im trying to install a program and i get this message "The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct." what does this mean [17:05] vidur, what resolution can you set? [17:05] check alsamixer settings [17:05] BlueParrot, yeah, happens, well, I kept mine simple *g* [17:05] I assume it's the release candidate, but I'm not sure if they're still called that after they are actually released. It's not the beta. [17:05] vidur, you cant use the binary drivers from ati unfortunatly, as those simply do not support that card anymore by the looks of it [17:05] set settings_autosave = ON [17:05] hey guys, which ubuntu version used to run kernel version 2.6.29? === alket is now known as Lulzim [17:05] oops [17:06] joshdreamland: have you gone to synaptic and checked for Broken packages and then checked Update everything? [17:06] i get an error which say "There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following. [17:06] No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly."Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig." [17:06] I urgently need all the stuff required to compile things for the kernel version 2.6.29 on an arm device [17:06] can this problem be described as pcspkr works but you don't want it to work? [17:06] The_Real_Sam_Fis: Not really; I just ran update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade [17:06] hehe, since my english sucks [17:06] Kenet: My problem? [17:06] vidur, are you trying to install drivers from the ati website [17:07] Kenet: he turned off the PC Speaker [17:07] Kenet: it is super annoying on laptops [17:07] Kenet: I would have blacklisted pcspkr had the developers not done so themselves with the comment "this annoys everybody" [17:07] i used to have this similar problem [17:07] No i tried installing it using "synaptic package manager" [17:07] joshdreamland: really? that's funny [17:07] blacklist it won't help [17:08] The_Real_Sam_Fis: Yes. They said in their comment it should be replaced by a nice audio blip. [17:08] i looked for the solution everywhere and all say that i have to blacklist it [17:08] vidur, maybe you use the opensource driver, to enable radeon driver enable desktop effects or use hardware driver wizard, if it doesn't install, your card is not supported anymore and you'll have to stick with the opensource driver which doesn't have ccc [17:08] anyone help installing Broadcom driver when it asks for a patch I just deleted? [17:09] Kenet: My problem is that when I play some sounds/songs, it sounds as if the system had amplified them past the playable range, clipped what couldn't be played, and then set it back with several lost crests and played it anyway [17:09] any Aussies here? [17:09] hey [17:09] vidur, ah like so, same issue really, you can not install the binary ati drivers (fglrx) period, your card is not supported by those drivers(anymore). and the older drivers that do support the card probably wont work on a modern version of ubuntu, tl;dr your stuck using the open source ati driver. [17:09] so it kind of hisses and sometimes squeaks [17:09] please really need help with open office draw [17:09] and please don't redirect me [17:09] to a different channel [17:09] jad: Might be better off to #openoffice.org but if you know it's Ubuntu specific - ask here [17:09] It really sounds as if the speakers have gone bad, but I tested multiple from multiple ports [17:10] !ask | jad [17:10] jad: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:10] jad: there is a channel for open office at #openofficejustforJad [17:10] oh...is there a way by which i can bring back my driver settings to normal again? [17:10] vidur, yeah remove the packages you installed with apt-get remove --purge packagename [17:10] in a console [17:10] !xorg [17:10] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [17:11] Hm. What is the XFCE's login manager? xdm or something? [17:11] *has a bone to pick with x.org developers, too* [17:11] sorry that's beyond my ability [17:11] k i ll try doing that [17:11] The_Real_Sam_Fis, thing is, no one is on these channels usually [17:11] anyone know how to restart alsa in ubuntu 10.4? [17:12] djbeenie_: sudo service alsa restart I suppose. [17:12] I thought you said "restart Asia" [17:12] ...lol [17:12] someone lay some terminal commands on us dealing with sound ! [17:12] The_Real_Sam_Fis: 'beep' [17:12] :) [17:12] win [17:12] lol [17:12] !info beep [17:12] beep (source: beep): advanced pc-speaker beeper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.2-24 (lucid), package size 24 kB, installed size 104 kB [17:12] alsa: unrecognized service [17:13] josh is in dreamland and needs a lullaby to play him to sleep [17:13] as opposed to the sound of cars being crushed [17:13] my laptop appears to be periodically rebooting as a result of a kernel crash... however most attempts to submit the requested bug report for the kernel crash result in a "HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error" response after several minutes trying to upload the data. Is there any other way I can report this problem and provide the necessary data? [17:14] WOW no one can help me with Broadcom problem really? [17:14] Hi, I have been Googling for a mobile printer that will work with my Karmic netbook. Suggestions, rants and raves welcomed ;-) [17:14] geez: this aint no place for rants and raves [17:15] geez: I've never plugged anything into an ubuntu machine that didn't just immediately work [17:15] i have bcm5784m lan driver [17:15] Well, I mean, not since they fixed it so you can have more than one mouse [17:15] Which was a very, very long time ago [17:15] Anything? agreed but printing is different because I don't ever see any drivers... [17:16] geez: CUPS? [17:16] :/ [17:16] geez: I despise printers. I had to install software for mine on Windows, but they worked immediately on Ubuntu [17:16] geez, all printers I've tried have just worked... the main problem is getting one that is portable enough for a mobile [17:16] can I use "mount --bind" for /var directory instead of using symbolic links? [17:16] Great, so which printer did u install? [17:16] I urgently need all the stuff required to compile things for the kernel version 2.6.29 on an arm device, where can i find the kernel headers for that? [17:17] geez, my main is an hp7350 (bit old now days) [17:17] I have a blueray in .mkv file when I play it lags, plays like slowmotion, do I need some codecs ? [17:17] Milp_main, are you on ubuntu? [17:17] also had another HP all-in-one deal (scanner, printer, etc) don't recall the model number off hand [17:17] The_Real_Sam_Fis: tried the broadcom driver shipped with synaptic pkg mngr? [17:17] Test, can anybody read this? [17:17] claytonwalker, yup [17:17] I need a mobile printer somthing like the Canon ip100 but only drivers 4 mac and windoze [17:17] claytonwalker: No. [17:17] acicula: yes [17:17] does anyone here have Lucid Lynx set up for LTSP? [17:18] Thanks, now to my question. Am I not able to copy a 4GB+ file over to a fat32 formatted HD? [17:18] Milp_main, apt-get install build-essential, and you may have to explicitly install the headers package for your kernel version, use apt-cache search to locate those [17:18] Anyone else having issues hitting security.ubuntu.com when running 'apt-get update'? [17:18] claytonwalker: Nope, 4GB limit on fat32. [17:18] claytonwalker: no [17:18] ie apt-cache search linux | grep headers| grep or something to that extend [17:18] isnt there exFAT [17:19] to handle +4GB sized files? [17:19] The_Real_Sam_Fis: I found the comments. "# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a / # nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)" [17:19] geez, that's funny, I see Linux drivers on their support site for the ip100 [17:19] acicula: not working with windows by default, so its useless [17:19] acicula: well i tried searching for it on aptitude and it couldnt find anything with my kernel version, only 2.6.31 and upwards [17:19] threadmin: Thanks, I've tried drag-and-drop, and terminal commands (albiet on my Mac, seeing as I can't connect to ##apple) and both have failed me. You've saved me a lot of grief. [17:19] geez, "1. Printer Driver for Linux (Debian) (2.90)" [17:19] Milp_main: packages.ubuntu.com [17:19] Milp_main, are you using a stock kernel? [17:19] I'll look again on the support site. I just looked on the drivers site. thnx. [17:19] acicula: no [17:20] just search for "canon ip100 linux" [17:20] that's all I did [17:20] Milp_main, then the headers wont be packaged either, you'll have to symlink the headers in /usr/include [17:20] iceroot: thanks, will search there [17:20] acicula: uuh what? [17:21] Milp_main, if you are using a custom kernel then you will not find the header files packaged for it, unless you run a custom version of a prepackaged kernel [17:21] Hi everyone, anyone else having trouble with ubuntu getting rid of all of their preferences? e.g. appearance, key combos...? [17:21] hi. I've got a mpeg file but `file -i foo.mpg` shows it being read a application/octet-stream instead of video/mpeg. any ideas? [17:21] acicula: thats why im asking if there was an ubuntu version running version 2.6.29, so i could just use those headers for it, do you happen to know which version used it? [17:22] mophead: Do you have full rwx access to your $HOME, I suppose? [17:22] are u [17:22] simmerz, file doesn't always get it right [17:22] I'm having a problem with a segfault in mesa/libGL.so, google says people fix the problem by replacing it with nvidia/ati drivers, but I have intel integrated graphics, what can I replace mea with? [17:23] Milp_main, 9.04 shipped with .28 and karmic shipped with .31, so no [17:23] theadmin: sorry? [17:23] hey, i upgraded the kernel in ubuntu 10, now the windows option disappeared, i guess it doesnt recognize it as windows as its pgp encrypted.. how can i force it to boot the partition? [17:23] mophead: What are the permissions on your home folder? [17:23] unop: right, but the same command on an os x box gets it right. and it seems to be affecting a web app we've built that uses the OS mime type file to determine file type [17:23] acicula: hm where could i get a set of headers from then? [17:23] Milp_main: kernel.org? [17:23] Milp_main, they are in the kernel source package you build from [17:24] if you make debs from the kernel source it should also package the headers i think? [17:24] simmerz, file uses a 'magic' file which is a collection of signatures and properties about a file - different vendors populate it differently and it seems like apple have done better in this case [17:24] simmerz, does the web app use apache? [17:25] iceroot: thanks acicula: well i didnt build the kernel myself, i dont think i can find the sources needed [17:25] Milp_main, if all this is confusing to you perhaps consider switching to prepackaged kernels for you? [17:25] unop: it's a ruby on rails app running under mod_passenger, so yes [17:25] simmerz: if the file plays fine, you count reencode it with mencoder or ffmpeg to get a file that file can understand [17:25] s/count/could/ [17:25] hi everyone. does anyone use amarok player? [17:25] I have a bluray in .mkv file when I play it lags, plays like slowmotion, do I need some codecs ? [17:25] acicula: thats not possible for that device, ubuntu only runs inside a chroot environment [17:26] robertskmiles: what might cause it to show up wrong? a codec not understood maybe? [17:26] I keep getting errors trying to install windows 7 on virtualbox. Anyone have any idea why? [17:26] Milp_main: ah ok, thought it was a vanilla kernel [17:26] simmerz, my guess is the .mpg wasn't created properly - with the right headers, etc. couldn't you use other properties such as file extensions? [17:26] simmerz: no idea, presumabply wrong headers [17:26] solow: ##windows ad #vbox [17:26] NCS_One, maybe a player-issue [17:26] iceroot: nah, im trying to be able to compile things inside the chroo ubuntu env, so i dont have to cross compile, because thats the worst thing in the world to me [17:27] theadmin: all seems normal [17:27] Milp_main, yeah you'll have to get the sourcepackage that build your kernel(oogle), and then either manually setup the headers via symlinking, or package the kernel (!compile) as debs and install the headers as deb. [17:27] brb, let me reboot and see if that works [17:27] ubutom: I tryed de default player, mpayer and vcl [17:27] unop: we could, but knowing the client they'd rename a .mov ;-) [17:27] as deb/ via dpkg [17:27] hi there, this may be the most obvious question ever, but here it is anyway, I just install a server, everything working fine, but, how can I change the mysql host name from localhost to something more useful? [17:27] acicula: or could i just throw all the sources into the folder of the program i want to compile every time i want to compile something? (the lazy but messy way) [17:27] okidokia, does someone know how to boot a windows partition from the grub prompt? [17:27] Milp_main, well the build chain expects to find headers [17:28] simmerz, I'm sure there are better ways to detect the file type - perhaps ffmpeg or mencoder have some detection mechanism [17:28] ? [17:28] NCS_One, have you got the commercial drivers installed for your gfx card? [17:28] you can set where it finds those headers to another location yes [17:28] bcessa: mysql is not the localhost, your pc is localhost. [17:28] unop: quite possibly. we're just doing a quick check [17:28] bcessa: you have to add a name in /etc/hosts (dont change localhost) for an ip its listening on [17:29] what is the alternative to mesa opengl for an intel integrated graphics card? [17:29] iceroot: ic, someone suggest me to simply create a username with a different hostname value, is that the way to do it? [17:29] ubottu: yes [17:29] bcessa: no [17:29] ubutom: yes [17:29] theadmin: reboot had no effect [17:29] NCS_One: you ran mplayer from command line? mplayer is good about giving options/ reasons for slow play [17:29] bcessa: go the way with /etc/hosts [17:29] NCS_One, have you looked at cpu-load during playback? [17:30] ubutom: going to check it [17:30] which scripting languages do u guys like to best [17:30] my laptop appears to be periodically rebooting as a result of a kernel crash... however most attempts to submit the requested bug report for the kernel crash result in a "HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error" response after several minutes trying to upload the data. Is there any other way I can report this problem and provide the necessary data? [17:30] tris2k: Python, by a long way [17:31] have you compared it to ruby, scala? [17:31] tris2k_, definitely python... can do pretty much anything [17:31] ok, I'll give it a try, thnx [17:31] theadmin: reboot fixed it. success. thank you!

If you encounter specific ubuntu issues, you can ask them here [17:35] how could i go about mounting my fileserver so i can see it when browsing for a download location?

[17:36] oCean_: I was hoping there was a magick ubuntu package that helped me not go thru that guide :p [17:36] corpse: look in the .gvfs dir or use some of the fuse tools to mount it to some other location [17:36] Does anyone know the proprietary alternative to mesa openGL for intel integrated graphics cards? [17:36] Dr_Willis: ahh thanks man [17:37] or where I can find out [17:37] NCS_One, dunno, but I think bluray needs a rather fast one if not accelerated by the graphics card [17:37] thnx, cya around [17:37] NCS_One, could also be just a bad encoded video file [17:37] Tux_: don't think so. Not sure, maybe you'll find more help in ##security? [17:38] how to free up some disk space using "mount --bind" or symbolic links? [17:38] oCean_: ah, thanks.

[17:38] rafaelsoaresbr: unless you are moving stuff to a differnt hard drive [17:39] Dr_Willis, that's what I want to do with /var directory [17:39] rafaelsoaresbr: move var to a new hd/filesuystem edit /etc/fstab to point to the new place [17:39] Dr_Willis, I want to put /var into /backup/var (that is on another partition) [17:40] rafaelsoaresbr: in your case then you want to link /var to /backup/var [17:40] rafaelsoaresbr: via 'ln -s onething otherthing' [17:41] hola esto es el canal de ayuda ?

I'm going to use apt-mirror and need 34Gb :) [17:50] Dr_Willis : k, I will keep looking for the answer. I was hoping there was one thing that worked for most people. [17:50] viperswan: you mean the gamepad moves the mouse around? [17:50] i mean the path of xserver [17:50] could someone recommend me a motherboard sensor application? [17:50] like to monitor CPU temperature and such [17:50] hmm forums... [17:50] rafaelsoaresbr: i just set up one box as an apt-cacher server.

[17:53] plus with a GUI, i can ask youguys for help while im actually in front of my server :D [17:53] Dargon: you did install 'kubuntu-desktop' package ?

[17:54] how are u doing [17:54] looks like I need to keep python-beagle [17:55] benkong2: If you don't want it to remove a specific package, do "sudo apt-get install package" [17:55] hi.. [17:55] viperswan, this probably involves xorg using the joystick this actually should not be default behaviour [17:55] thanks doc, you may have saved me re-installing ubuntu for no reason :D [17:55] helpful people = win [17:55] I am running ubuntu in Virtualbox on my Windows 7 ultimate x64 PC.

I'm currently running windows 7 and am wondering that if create a anew partition for Ubuntu LTS, would i still be able to choose which OS when I turn my pc on? [17:59] Can I verify that's installed by looking somewhere? [17:59] lucenut: virtualbox has sopecial drivers you install in the guest os to get maximum features. Check teh vbox docs for details [17:59] dr.Willis installing ubuntu on one laptop and running it on another [18:00] "Guest OS" is windows? [18:00] User01: you mean moveing the hd from one to antoher? [18:00] lucenut: every time you upgrade vbox you have to reinstall the guest additions then restart.. to go full screen try Right CTRL + F .. the same combination to return to a windowed vm [18:00] lucenut: No.. windows running vbox running linux.. windows is the HOST.. [18:00] Well, not 'still choose' but, be able to to choose.

[18:03] Tetraz: via, and s3 and some of the 'not big players' videos cards are best avoided. :) [18:03] ryann_: yes the grub loader will show u the options at the time of ur boot and u can select ur choice there... [18:03] MKM: last I installed Ubuntu, Windows 7 wasn't there,, [18:04] Dr_Willis: yeah well this computer is already abit old so i think I will make a server of it instead [18:04] vishaltelangre: yes everything works fine, bt only if i want to sync songs it hangs and asks me to force quit...

One solution I found here: [18:06] Balgan: is it too slow when enconding the video? and i can't close it [18:06] ryann_: u might have probably formatted the entire memory.., this time create a partition in your windows the when u install ubuntu it will asks you to manualy set the space for the installation,then select the free space and install your ubuntu [18:06] dr_willis: I mean just a fresh install on pc1 and than swapping and running on pc2 since it overheats and I can't install purposes [18:06] User01: that should work. Try it and see [18:07] User01: when you start installing special drivers, like for nvidia and ati, then that can cause issues with moveing the hd about [18:07] MKM, Sync your iPhone/iPod Music Libary With Rhythmbox in Ubuntu Karmic (No Jailbreaking Required) - http://goo.gl/4CWH [18:07] is there something I can use to watch Quicktime videos with Firefox on Ubuntu?

(or jockey-gtk) [18:09] User01, I never had a problem swapping hds of different machines, though it was the standard kernel, switched hd from amd to intel board, and between old pcs that i used as server [18:09] what brand of laptops are usually the most compatible with linux platforms? [18:09] ryann_: you should have an independent means to backup and restore the first couple of sectors of your disk, because things might go wrong. after all, ubuntu overwrites your mbr with grub... [18:10] Tetraz: ive heard avoide toshiba [18:10] okay I will let the guy know who is fixing my computer it's more than possible [18:10] * Chriisti Hello Community [18:10] ulkn: how can I prevent this? or at least have windows 7 loader pre-written (so to speak) in the grub loader. [18:10] he said he has a 25 dollar flat fee [18:10] ryann_, you can choose the destination of grub at installation in a dialog called advanced or something like that, it's after partitioning iirc [18:10] Dr_Willis: hehe strange i've got a toshiba laptop that just works fine for me :) [18:10] User01: $25 to do what> move a hd from one pc to another? [18:11] ryann_: does your windows 7 loader offer you the choice to boot other systems on other partitions? [18:11] Synaptic > Preferences > Files > History: Keep history? History of what? [18:11] ubutom: yes, I'm aware of how it's installed, I've done it numerous times. [18:11] Tetraz: even under windows - ive seen a great meny people with MAJOR issues with Toshibas - i dont plan on ever getting one any time soon. [18:11] ulkn: nope, straight into windows 7. [18:11] MKM, Hey there, this may work out, try: Easy Way To Sync Your iPhone / iPod Touch With Rhythmbox, Nautilus, Etc. In Ubuntu - http://goo.gl/dFf0 [18:11] so in your opinion even if he tried to install an os and failed should he still be charging me 25 bucks [18:11] ryann_, win 7 will most certainly primary partition for it's loader, so you choose another location for grub [18:11] dr_willis: yes [18:11] *most certainly use* [18:12] ubutom: you sure that's possible? [18:12] did it several times ryann_ [18:12] User01: installing ubuntu is rather trivial.. moving a HD from one desktop pc to antoher is also rather trivial.. :) [18:12] for installing an os on pc1 and moving to pc 2 [18:12] Hey guys, Anyone know if a CUPS print server is going to be compatible with both windows and mac OS hosts? [18:12] User01: and both are the kind of tasks you should learn... [18:12] User01: 30 min to install.. 5 min to move.. perhaps.. [18:13] Dr_Willis, this "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet", I think it removed my power down button :( [18:13] User01: but why not install on the other one to begin eith? [18:13] wessel: so? You cn still use the logout menu. or just reset the panels. [18:13] !resetpanel [18:13] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:13] wessel: or add it back. [18:13] dr_willis: yes but he claims to be a 4 year student with a 25 dollar flat fee [18:13] DCGstudios: it should; ipp is a standar. and you could use samba too for the windows clients [18:13] ryann_, you can use the root partition of linux, I think then this partition is made active, if not do it manually, can even be done with windows onboard tools [18:13] DCGstudios: Mac OS X uses cups too [18:13] User01: i dont see why that matters in any way.. [18:14] ryann_, I mean you can use the root partition for grub [18:14] ubutom: so, create a new partition for my ubuntu install, make it active, and then install ubuntu? [18:14] ryann_, win7 should be untouched and unaware ;) [18:14] he hasn't tried this method if it fails I won't hold it against him [18:14] Hi I have install Darwin Streaming server and I can't get to work properly. Can someone give a good source on how to use it ??? [18:14] what application is triggered when a modem is inserted in lucid? [18:14] urUSUL, oh okay, well i knew smb servers would be cross compatable with them all, but CUPS will work as well with the windows clients? [18:14] User01: I still dont see the point in the install, then move... [18:14] ubutom: okay, thanks for that. It's just, last time it nerfed my entire install, and getting all my files back was a pickle.. [18:14] ryann_, I think the part of making active is done when you choose the linux partition for grub install automatically [18:14] Synaptic > Preferences > Files > History: Keep history? History of what? Can I delete it? [18:15] vishaltelangre: thnks ..:-) [18:15] hey everyone [18:15] i have a huewei E220 which fails to trigger it.. but if i put my sony ericsson modem next to it, then both are detected [18:15] need some help installation [18:15] User01: in the time we have been chatting.. ive doen an install to a pc. [18:15] ei [18:15] ryann_, backup is always recommended, but it shouldn't mess anything up [18:15] but I'd like him to give it a shot since I can't and do it and I paid for some reliable service, my laptop overheats [18:15] ubutom, alright, thanks. peace.

[18:22] ohir lol tried a can of compressed air hehe ^^ [18:22] Help111: if you are just starting a dual boot you should install windows to only a portion of the drive space and leave unpartitioned space for the other OSes. Saves having to mess around with resizing [18:23] help111: or you may free some space from your windows and use it to install your ubuntu [18:23] User01: I don't know then what might cause overheating at install time, install is not that computational power demanding task [18:23] User01: if your system is a branded thing or a laptop you may want to check if it has heat issues and how to fix it [18:24] ohir: yeah it is sketchy lolz [18:24] hello i need a little help my boot loader must have messed up during install now when i boot i come up to a menu that says grub> is there a way to boot and fix ?

In youtube when I click on the progress bar / maximize button it has no effect .. When I keep clicking by moving the mouse pointer slightly again and again at some time it works ... Has anybody faced this problem ?? I have another site where any of my clicks on flash is not working .. Any solutions for this ??? [18:31] so is there a way todo it where im at right now?> [18:31] Sparkie: you can get grub floppys to then kick off a usb bootup [18:31] sparkie: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD [18:31] for anyone that wants to combine a video and audio file, the cmd ffmpeg -i yourvid -i youraudio -map 0:0 -map 1:0 --aspect 16:9 output [18:31] anyone know how to check a luks encrypted ext4 filesystem for errors? [18:31] will do it i believe [18:31] User01, shouldn't be much of a problem [18:31] sparkie: it may be possible, but its really hard and very specific to your configuration [18:32] how does ubuntu configure itself to handle various hardware during boot? does it autodetect hardware and load modules like knoppix? [18:32] liveCD is only sure way [18:32] Derrick_: make a script which takes args ;) makes life easier if you use it a lot of times [18:32] ubutom okay I'll be all smiles then lol [18:32] thanks guys [18:32] sl0ppy, think it's a pretty generic kernel and the drivers are autodetected [18:32] hiya everyone. i was wondering if anyone could help me witha quick and hopefully simple question.. I have a usb logitech gamepad/joystick and i'd like to be able to use it without emulating the mouse. everytime i plug it in it functions properly but it also takes over mouse functions, any idea how to prevent this behaviour? thank you in advance for your help. [18:32] ActionParsnip, would, but I don't script bash [18:32] i'm always wondering how it does the driver loading [18:33] :P [18:34] * Dr_Willis wonders what gamepad viperswan has - so he can get one to let him controll the mouse via a gamepad.. [18:34] sl0ppy: the kernel does the hardware detection and loading of modules in most cases [18:34] Derrick_: instead of yourvid use $1 and instead of youraudio use $2 and instead of output use $3 in a bash script. You can call it something like foo, you can now run: foo vid audio output ,and the filenames will be used in the script === The_Thing|Laptop is now known as \The_Thing\ [18:34] erUSUL: how does it know what modules to load [18:35] Sl0ppy: look into udev ;) [18:35] sl0ppy: pci id or usb id's [18:35] does anyone know of a good file format reverse engineering tool? id like to search for floating point values, but I dont know how precise my numbers extracted from the reader are, and how they are stored. [18:35] ActionParsnip, i know that much, just got my own things to do... [18:35] ok thanks [18:35] Guest54854: adobe flash is known broken. if you can't live without flash, the correct solution for you is to use windows [18:36] Sl0ppy: it doesn't always get it right and the system needs telling ;) [18:36] Ulkn: how is it broken? [18:36] * Dr_Willis gives flash a C- on its linux support. :() [18:36] but it does work for me most of the time at least [18:37] I thought just the 64 bit flash is buggy [18:37] Dr_willis: 64bit native linux flash isn't too shabby support in my book [18:37] ubutom: ive herad many people in here have good luck with the 64bit [18:37] ubutom: See :) === wimt_ is now known as wimt [18:37] Ubutom: its alpha but isn't bad at all [18:37] all my systems have used pretty much static fat kernels [18:37] anyone here knows how to enable HW acceleration in Radeon X800-series?

I tried touching forcefsk in the root of the partition in trying to check but no help [18:38] Guest54854: if you remove all flash plugins and use the command on the ubuntu flash doc you can get 64bit flash which doesn't use crappy nspluginwrapper [18:38] How can one copy a full path and file name in one swoop?

[18:55] oh wow!!!! ok ... today in class my professor told me that there is a username called "sa" and its password is also "sa" thru which v can login is it true in ubuntu??? [18:56] if you make your own /home can easily do a fresh reinstall and not loose your stuff [18:56] Jordan_U: wat guided partitioning? i [18:56] sparkie: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [18:56] Can i create html page for web site by phpmyadmin in ubuntu?

[18:56] hmmmm [18:56] rakesh: That sounds like you are talking about some rdbms (database) software, not Ubuntu. [18:57] need-help, no; phpmyadmin is a web based administrative tool for mySQL [18:57] no no!!!! he clearly told its there in linux [18:57] Dang. Aparently when i try to boot in recovery mode the text is nothing but alot of small colored squares in the top of my screen. i have to guess my way to log in. what could be wrong ? [18:57] need-help: what do you mean create html? you can copy your page into ahtml file. [18:57] rakesh: Are you sure he wasnt talking about the database [18:57] rakesh: He was probably talking about your schools particular setup either way. [18:57] rakesh: Then you should talk to him about it, as there is no sa user on Ubuntu (or any Linux distro I have used personally). [18:57] The_Blob, thanks, '-x' seems to work, I want to move /var to another location. [18:58] Jordan_U: so wat is guided partitioning? [18:58] no.... he told when v forget the root username and pwd also v can use this and gain accesss to system [18:58] need-help, you can create an html page with any editor (gedit, vi, emacs) [18:58] Jordan_U: i have my partitiosn ready 2 install .. jst wanted 2 know wat /home mount as means actually .

[19:00] well i installed the newest ATI drivers and rebooted, this may or may not be related to my issues. but since then things have been going slow. for example if i click and drag a window around it is really slow and jumpy. [19:00] also i updated compiz for some reason i cant change my compiz settings with the manager, all the check boxes are faded. and whether im on compiz or metacity the windowas have annoying animations. [19:00] finally i cant watch youtube videos in full screen suddenly, when i press the button it just turns the player into a grey box. [19:00] sogeking99: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:00] RunnerGeek, how? [19:00] rakesh: no problem [19:00] going on wth installing [19:00] cya later guyz [19:01] need-help, how what? [19:01] RunnerGeek, you can disable access thats not the same [19:01] thank you everyone who helped me out :) [19:01] help111: You're welcome. [19:01] acicula, no you can setup password policies or you can set ssh for keys only [19:01] hello [19:01] frxstrem thanks for the info [19:01] bye all,,, ill be back if i need some help\ [19:01] hey ev350 [19:01] anyone here having segmentation faults with the program called Gnomad2? [19:01] keys > passwords [19:01] How can I set the xserver to permit connections from localhost? [19:01] in windows, i can just use ipconfig to get the default gateway, how is this done in ubuntu? [19:02] RunnerGeek, uploading html page as index.php so that world wide can brows ? [19:02] pleasuredom: also, if you're converting to MP3, you would want to have libmp3lame installed too [19:02] RunnerGeek, a password policy focusses on passwords not ssh ;). but yeah keys are a good measure. There are more ways to root then just ssh though, so it still pays to set proper passwords to begin with [19:02] can anyone help me with this? [19:02] need-help, you need to discuss that with your host [19:02] hay, im new to linux, im sorta getting there ^^ im just wonderin how do you compile a .py fle in the terminal? [19:02] acicula, well right, but with a password policy you can prevent weak passwords [19:03] hello everyone, there is this amsn port test tool which tells me whether these ports are ok for use with it. Is there another app i can do this sort of testing ? Already tried "nc -v -z -w2" on the ports and they do not show, even if they are ok === Strife1989 is now known as Strife89 [19:03] ev350: I believe that is more a question for #python [19:03] ev350, run python and do: import [19:03] RunnerGeek, well thats what it does now i suppose, except it just warns instead of strictly enforcing it [19:03] ok thank you :) [19:03] acicula, well you can make it strictly enforce it [19:03] my client's server does [19:03] frxstrem: ok. thx again === rocket161 is now known as rocket16 === Windows is now known as Guest61190 [19:05] Yo yo yo [19:05] oy oy oY [19:05] never mind my previous question, i have a new one. how do I connect to my pc *ubuntu* via putty? [19:05] can skype be used with ubuntu? [19:06] could anyone help me with mounting a MTP device? [19:06] solow, using ssh [19:06] profxavier, I have ssh tagged, but it times out === Guest61190 is now known as WindowsUser [19:06] solow, when installing, I am assuming ? === WindowsUser is now known as Guest16124 [19:07] Can anyone tell me what could be the problem with my ubuntu ? suddenly i cant see the login screen. I have to sorta guess what its doing to get into ubuntu normal mode. it only shows a bit colored squares in the top. like totally garbled graphics if that makes any sense [19:07] Solow: can you ping the ssh serving system? [19:07] profxavier, I'm doing something odd here. I've installed virtualbox, with windows 7 on a machine. now I'm trying to use my host OS as server. so trying to log in with putty from windows :p [19:07] solow, when installing packages, if things dont go the way they should, its pretty helpful to install via command line, to see the errors and work with them... [19:07] Kriss3d: what video card? [19:07] I am willing to make the complete switch to linux if and only if there is a equivlent to peer block [19:08] solow, you are using putty on your windows 7 machine and ubuntu has sshd installed and running ? [19:08] solow, you need to install ssh-server on the server [19:08] thx RunnerGeek [19:08] also you can look at things like vnc if you want gui remote access [19:08] aaah [19:08] Hello, When i do wget www.google.com I get a 403 forbidden response. [19:08] did not know that [19:08] jamil_1: why would try to wget google.com? [19:08] Solow: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [19:08] Solow: its not installed by default [19:08] kreppnar: MTP is a tricky critter...i have had the most success by writing a script that uses gvfs to unmount the device and then remount it as MTP, but it took me a while to get it right [19:08] resno: I could think of a few reasons [19:09] resno: because I have few scripts that use wget [19:09] ActionParsnip, this won't make my ubuntu unsafe now will it? === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq [19:09] jamil_1: well, thats not going to work. they are blocking it. [19:09] Guest16124: what does it do? [19:09] resno: i just wget google.com , and it came back with index. [19:09] how to rename a folder in terminal? [19:09] resno: who is blocking it ? my isp ? [19:09] ActionParsnip, woohoo! I'm in! thanks a lot :) [19:10] Solow: no, its fine and uses encryption [19:10] if you do a -r (don't do this!) it will pull down some other stuff [19:10] kreppnar: you will also need to install MTPFS (or whatever the MTP filesystem package is) [19:10] jamil_1: this isnt a ubuntu issue, i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:10] solow, sort of, any time you open a service you open up for possible risk. SSH is fairly safe and used on millions of server around the world [19:10] Solow: just keep root disabled (default in ubuntu) and you are fine [19:10] hello [19:10] Rafaelsoresbr: mv name newname [19:11] solow, I would recommend setting to a non default port, using iptables to restrict what clients can connect and setting the config to be secure, also using keys instead of passwords [19:11] solow: as long as you use a secure password and stuff (common sense), it should not be a big risk (although it's a little tiny risk) [19:11] resno: I think it is perhaps ubuntu related issue because It was working fine before upgrading to 10.04 [19:11] I'm going to install python 3.0, Do I need to uninstall the previous version or keep them both? [19:11] ScoobyDoo, you can do both [19:11] jamil_1: so why didnt you say that? [19:11] solow, research creating keys, some say its easy [i dont personally], and use keys [rather than passwords] [19:11] I have a password like: h62rYbQM *it's not it, but the same layout* [19:11] ScoobyDoo: Do not remove the 2.x version of python. [19:11] i don't think py3k is released yet, still beta isn't it? [19:11] h0rnman: yeah i got all that installed, gnomad2 keeps crashing on me while it reads the device. Amarok works, but i can only send music to it..nothing like videos or photos [19:11] Ah thanks Pici [19:11] resno: I am really sorry for that [19:12] oh python how I love you [19:12] RunnerGeek: We're already up to 3.1 [19:12] oh wow, turns out python.com is p0rn [19:12] wtf over [19:12] ORG [19:12] .net ? [19:12] ;) [19:12] ah, org [19:12] kreppnar: like I said, the prebuilt solutions that I messed around with never did what I wanted them to...I had to write my own script to do the mounting [19:12] guys, how do I make my front panel audio work on headphones. no sound comes out. but it's ok on windows. [19:12] haha silly me [19:12] Wher can i find a beginner's guide to ubuntu? [19:12] help111 google ? [19:12] haha [19:13] h0rnman: would you happen to still have that script? [19:13] anyone had any luck configuring thttpd on Ubuntu? I installed it with aptitude, configured it, tried /etc/init.d/thttpd start and I get nothing. It doesn't appear to be listening on port 80 either [19:13] tried nthing great as sch .. [19:13] help111, ubuntuguide.org [19:13] kreppnar: not on the machine I am working on [19:13] Runnergeek: haha awesome [19:13] help111: the ubuntu 'guide' is excellent [19:13] h0rnman: ah ok [19:13] RunnerGeek: thanks [19:13] profxavier: chcking it out :) [19:13] kreppnar: but it didn't take a whole lot of work to get going (i think its around 15 lines long) using gvfs-***** commands to get the mount type correct [19:14] h0rnman: so it pretty much mounted it as a mass storage device, and you were able to just drag and drop files into folders? [19:14] Help111: I recommend just using the OS. When you get stuck then search for guides [19:15] ActionParsnip: okay :) [19:15] installation complete [19:15] restarting now.. [19:15] Help111: get updates asap too :) [19:15] Any ways to make GRUB boot an ISO? [19:16] is 10.04 better than 9.10, worth to upgrade? [19:16] Theadmin: grub2 can. Grub cannot afaik [19:16] resno: can you propose any solution ? [19:16] insider: sure [19:16] ActionParsnip: grub2 I have. [19:16] kreppnar: not by default. The problem is that Ubuntu /does/ mount it as Mass Storage. Unfortunately, MTP requires a specific method of access for the device to recognize what you are sending to it (for this example, I have a Creative ZEN), and if you just copy files over in Mass Storage mode, the player won't recognize the file. You need to unmount the device as a Mass Storage device, and remount is as a proper MTP device [19:16] Insider: if 9.10 is working for you then i'd keep it. Its supported until april next year so there's life in it yet [19:17] insider: never touch a running system [19:17] h0rnman: i see, yeah im using the Creative Zen w Vision [19:17] jamil_1: can you run wget in other cases? [19:17] Theadmin: then yes you can ;) [19:17] I hate linux it dosent have an alterntive to peerblock [19:17] insider, i think so, also it is a LTS :) [19:17] resno: my laptop configuration is 2Gb Ram, core2duo 2ghz, i suggest 10.04 would be slow [19:17] kreppnar: yeah, so I am guessing that you had the same problem I did [19:17] ActionParsnip: Wonder how then... hints? [19:17] resno: for instance ? [19:17] h0rnman: yeah pretty much [19:17] jamil_1: try yahoo.com [19:17] insider, that is about my laptop and it is fast [19:18] Guest16124: you never told me what it is so I have no way to give alternatives. Hating an OS purely for one app is a bit pathetic to be fair [19:18] and i hate SIS Mirage [19:18] insider: im running 10.04 on a p4. 512 mb. it runs ok [19:18] I installed 10.04 on my laptop and everything is working except for the mouse clickers, I can move the mouse but can't click anything. [19:18] bazhang: dude, help :) I tried installing bootchart via apt-get (live usb system with persistent storage) and it hanged the pc. I rebooted and now I'm stuck in a loop, can't use apt-get anymore, just dpkg --configure -a [19:18] resno: Hah, nearly same here, and runs sweeeet [19:18] fillayy: it's maybe funny) [19:18] anyone has had success (or troubles) on making front audio jack work for desktop? [19:18] resno: Same error with yahoo. Also I forgot to tell you that I am behind a proxy and I have set the http_proxy environment variable [19:18] Hello, getting "You have new mail" when logging into ubuntu via SSH. Typing "mail" doesn't seem to work for me "-bash: mail: command not found [19:18] " how can I read the mail message waiting for me? [19:19] I'm trying to view my local server. this works with 127.0.0.1 and my ip address. But I'd like to know id there is any other way, such as my default gateway. *as i want to access it in my lan network* [19:19] kreppnar: I don't have the script, but my hack was to grab a list of devices via 'lsusb' then grep for the line that contains 'MTP', then use AWK to separate device ID and BUS ID , then finally use gvfs-mount -u (i think) to unmount the device, and 'gvfs-mount MTP' (or something similar) to remount it as a MTP device [19:19] jamil_1: your configuration is more complication then i know how to handle. [19:19] xomp: mail [19:19] bazhang: if I do, dpkg --configure -a it will again trey to generete intrd.img and will hang again. Thx for any help [19:19] iceroot, Typing "mail" doesn't seem to work for me "-bash: mail: command not found" as I originally said. [19:20] * h0rnman cringes at the sloppiness of that [19:20] Is there any real danger on removing gnome-terminal for GNOME, like will it break anythin? [19:20] xomp: then install the mailclient for the terminal [19:20] h0rnman: why doesn't lsusb show where the hardware is connected though? isn't there a way to show that? i mean it shows that its there and connected..sure..but where? [19:20] theadmin, why would you want to do that, but no it shouldn't hurt anything [19:20] iceroot, apt-get install mailclient <-? [19:20] kreppnar: See the output of mount [19:20] xomp: apt-get install mail [19:20] people use mail?

I tried installing bootchart via apt-get (live usb system with persistent storage) and it hanged the pc.

Many people think firefox is the best browser wheras I think it is garbage. Just like there is no best browser or best OS, there is no best mail program [19:25] how can i adjust the volume of twinkle [19:26] ActionParsnip: Firefox might be a meh yeah but garbage? Come on... It's not that bad really :/ [19:26] Runnergeek: so you saying mutt is better than mail is moot as the user may actively use mail already and find it absolutely fine [19:26] ActionParsnip, sorry i had to help my daughter.. its an ATI 2600 card [19:26] Theadmin: I really hate it [19:26] hello everyone, there is this amsn port test tool which tells me whether these ports are ok for use with it. Is there another app i can do this sort of testing ? Already tried "nc -v -z -w2" on the ports and they do not show, even if they are ok [19:26] hello guys [19:27] well as a client it is better, but mail is more designed to be able to pipe files into it [19:27] is ubuntu 64bit stable [19:27] ActionParsnip: if you dont like firefox, try iceweasel :) [19:27] !ati | kriss3d [19:27] kriss3d: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:27] ActionParsnip: Well, my favorite browser.

I found it by going to http://alternativeto.net/desktop/peerblock-/ [19:27] which flash is to use [19:27] you can say something is better if it is designed to do something where the other isn't really designed for it [19:27] is it possible to add an option to the GRUB menu that would allow me to boot up Ubuntu without starting the graphical interface (only command line)? [19:27] ActionParsnip: Compare with IE and you'll know what I mean by 'not that bad' [19:27] ActionParsnip, ty ill try that.. its quite odd.. im in ubuntu now.. works fine. but when i boot the login screen is all garbled and small.. but once im inside it works like a charm.. it was all the suddenly [19:28] theadmin :how can i adjust the volume of my twinkle [19:28] frxstrem, disable gdm [19:28] when I start it they send http://pastebin.com/hiLgNaHA [19:28] RunnerGeek: ok and now lets stop this "is better then" or lets take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:28] Guest88080: No idea what twinkle even is [19:28] Guest16124: http://alternativeto.net/ is pretty useful that way [19:28] RunnerGeek: well, won't that permanently make me unable to autostart Gnome?

As the other person said you go into private session with it and then to find out about its capabilities ! ubottu | theadmin or whatever subject you're interested in. [19:35] theadmin thats what I get when i use python 3.0.1+ [19:35] hi [19:35] I can import tkinter but not ttk [19:35] Nuboon2Age: I _can't_ start a message with a !, it thinks that's a terminal command to execute and send the output [19:35] ScoobyDoo: tried import tkinter.ttk as ttk ? [19:36] is it possible to hide the window title bar ? [19:36] theadmin: Oh, now I get it. hmmm... [19:36] hello #ubuntu [19:36] theadmin: What IRC client are you using? [19:36] NCS_One: Kill the window manager? :/ [19:36] Pici: Pidgin [19:36] Slart No module named ttk [19:36] so RunnerGeek any ideas on those specs ? :) [19:36] ScoobyDoo: hang on.. let me check how I'm doing it [19:36] ScoobyDoo: are you running somebody else's code or preparing to write your own? [19:36] theadmin: hehe [19:36] theadmin, pidgin runs commands if you type !, a feature I was unaware of [19:36] (I use Ubuntu9.10) Editor in Lbreakout2 dosen't show the bonus contents. Why isn't it shown? [19:37] crdlb Trying to write my own [19:37] Is there a way to restore deleted folders in your /home/~/ directory? I've deleted Video, Audio, etc. a long time ago and just discovered I can point them to folders on my external hd. [19:37] I haven't restarted since the install? [19:37] theadmin: I moved to Konversation. I'm very pleased w/ it. [19:37] I doubt thats it though [19:37] Hi all [19:37] I've seen some nice things on 10.04's desktop, like the (un)maximize maximized windows by dragging them near the top of the screen (à la Windows 7), can two open windows be put in a kind of Midnight/Norton Commander two-pane disposition with a similar trick? if so, which trick? thanks in advance [19:37] Anyone know how to control the amount of 'slug' messages in xchat, such as 'such and such quit the room' etc? [19:37] ScoobyDoo: I use. import tkinter, tkinter.ttk as ttk and I'm using python 3, not sure if eclipse does anything sneaky behind my back to make it work though [19:37] I am banned at ubuntu-ru so i wanna ask you [19:38] Balgan, I misread your question at first, you are just looking for hardware specs for an ESX server? [19:38] Just because i asked a question but not joked [19:38] bolster, wight click the channel tab and select hide jin/part messages [19:38] Slart No module named ttk [19:38] ubutom any way of setting that as the default? [19:38] Hey guys i have a question: How can i know the time in terminal [19:38] hellwolf06[web]: date [19:38] Perhaps I shouldn't use ttk? [19:38] bolster, will be saved if you quit xchat [19:38] echo $(time) doesn't work [19:39] hellowolf date [19:39] bolster, but can also e set in options me thinks [19:39] what's the next best one? [19:39] ubutom thanks! [19:39] ScoobyDoo: Next best what? [19:39] Pici date works echo $(date) [19:39] Python GUI making language [19:39] ScoobyDoo: I strongly suggest you use python 2.x for now, and port your script to python 3.x in the future with 2to3.py [19:39] hellwolf06[web]: Er, yes, but thats the same thing as just doing date === Ose is now known as common_sense [19:39] ScoobyDoo: pygtk for example has not been ported yet [19:40] ScoobyDoo: This is probably a better topic for #python [19:40] Pici nobody seems to know anything in there [19:40] how big are the performance differences between ubuntu netbook and desktop?. [19:40] I'll try in 2. whatever [19:40] Pici, i have already wrote syntax error token unexpected [19:40] ScoobyDoo: hmm.. I wonder if I had to install anything special to make it work.. odd [19:40] Im thinking of using ubuntu desktop for a netbook [19:40] ScoobyDoo, I haven't messed with python in over a year sorry :) [19:40] and does ubuntu netbootk version allow for compiz effects plugin?. === KungFuBear is now known as KungFuBear|Away [19:41] ScoobyDoo: Thats because no one runs 3.0 [19:41] netbooks have 3d cards? [19:41] ! ubottu | theadmin [19:41] theadmin: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [19:41] the_file, yes [19:41] ScoobyDoo: you have python3-tk installed? [19:41] just install compizconfig [19:41] Slart Yup [19:41] how to measure windows width and height? is there any application from x server? [19:41] RunnerGeek, yep they do, intel ones [19:41] 2.6.2 says samething [19:42] qwerty987: appart from taking a snapshot and measuring in gimp... I dunno [19:42] the_file, am using lubuntu right now on an old laptop, have enabled the netbook look and I dig it [19:42] the_file: If it's not intel, probably yes (for compiz) [19:42] snapshot -> screenshot, but you got it I guess [19:42] qwerty987: I *think* that xwininfo provides that information [19:42] * ScoobyDoo Off to find a new language to make the GUI in [19:42] ScoobyDoo: what's wrong with python 2? [19:42] the_file: intel gpus have been blacklisted for compiz due to driver issues [19:42] the_file, don't know much about netbook remix though [19:42] most of them anyway [19:42] soreau: I preffer amd =) [19:42] I've seen some nice things on 10.04's desktop, like the (un)maximize maximized windows by dragging them near the top of the screen (à la Windows 7), can two open windows be 'snapped' in a kind of Midnight/Norton Commander two-pane disposition with a similar trick? if so, which trick? thanks in advance [19:43] soreau: amd is a great powerhouse for 3d shit [19:43] the_file: Excellent. But does this netbook have an ati card? [19:43] the_file: Please mind your language here. [19:43] crdlb same thing, there no modual called ttk [19:43] soreau: oww I am still shopping for a netbook [19:43] the_file: you'll want to watch your language here [19:43] the_file: But amd/ati is a great choice IMHO [19:43] I was advised on this channel to install bootchart to see what's holding boot process. [19:43] I tried installing bootchart via apt-get (live usb system with persistent storage) and it hanged the pc. [19:43] I rebooted and now I'm stuck in a loop, can't use apt-get anymore, just dpkg --configure -a [19:43] if I use dpkg --configure -a it will hang again while trying to "update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic" I can see that new initrd.img is generated, but pc hangs. [19:43] StaRetji: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:43] soreau: yep amd/ait is my favorite pair [19:44] hey guys what the problem with this echo $(time) [19:44] ScoobyDoo: tk is a very poor toolkit anyway [19:44] has anyone tried using desktop hardware to run a linux server? I'm curious about success/fail stories with different setups. [19:44] the_file, the best netbook you'll find is probably a intel atom-based one, ubuntu totally supports the hardware [19:44] is there any way to get these: http://www.fifa.com/newscentre/widgets/index.html on my desktop? in form of screenlets of something like that [19:45] mugwort13: I have a Samba server running on a desktop-class machine w/o pbs [19:45] mugwort13: I've had no issues running Ubuntu Server on any desktop hardware. [19:45] mugwort13: 20-30 users, so no big load though [19:45] so i keep getin this error from my package manger [19:45] the_file, there are some amd notebooks that are cheaper than netbooks and yet more powerfull, as the compaq 615 for example, 2,2 ghz amd processor, 1024mb ram(upgrade advised), ATI Mobility 3200 and 160gb hdd [19:45] hellwolf06[web]: bash scripting questions are better directed towards #bash [19:46] Pici, thx [19:46] soreau: amd is great for 3d and will probably work great for compiz plugin [19:46] the_file: Yes, it will. The open driver is great and also you have option of fglrx for HD ati cards [19:47] wildman: Pici: thanks [19:47] Could anyone think of a reason why my program does not run under root, the owner is root and the set uid bit is set with chmod 4770, it does run, just not under root... [19:47] Wolfmanz51, like wolfs? [19:47] the_file: AFAIK, compiz works on UNR but you might want to make sure [19:47] ! unr | the_file [19:47] the_file: Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [19:48] mugwort13: yw [19:48] hi i'm running lucid, i installed skype from the partner repo and setup an account, I can't even call the test call [19:48] can't find any users [19:48] can't chat with any [19:48] soreau: does compiz plugin with the 3d box and all come default in ubuntu or do u got to install it thru the software center?. [19:48] I never used it [19:48] =( [19:48] hellwolf06[web]: time is a command to time the execution of other programs, if you want to echo the time, use date [19:48] it's my machine, my network, what is it? [19:48] thought I have seen so many inredible videos of it! [19:49] the_file: cube is part of core, but ubuntu stopped installing compiz-plugins-extra by default (mostly unrelated to cube) [19:49] how do i force quit something. my updater crashed and won't go away. freakin annoying [19:49] trism THX [19:49] solow: xkill, pkill, kill [19:49] the_file: So yes, cube comes installed by default but you'll want ccsm to config it [19:49] dpkg: unrecoverable fattle eror, aborting: syntax error: unknown group 'cdemu' in stateoverride file E: Sub-process /user/bin/dpkg returned error code 2 a package failed to install.

[19:50] soreau: very impressive [19:50] Slart, better even, where? it's running in UI not terminal.

[19:52] !resetpanel | solow [19:52] solow: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [19:52] solow: why not try rebooting..see if it comes back [19:52] I really need advanced help here folks http://paste.ubuntu.com/446789/ THX!!! [19:52] blackxored stock lucid build, no weirdness, and a custom network indicates you have (the correct) deny all firewall setup. [19:52] grrr [19:52] brb [19:52] lucid broke my jaunty wifi - I have Bus 003 Device 002: ID 03f0:171d Hewlett-Packard Wireless (Bluetooth + WLAN) Interface [Integrated Module] [19:53] bolster, there are incoming connection used for something in skype [19:53] for some reason source ~/.bash_profile doesnt carry over to new tabs that i open up, and i have to re run that command each time. how can i fix this? [19:53] I've mapped the port I select [19:53] damn [19:53] bolster, still I can connect but I cannot find users [19:54] nullp0inter, .bashrc is sourced and /etc/profile not .bash_profile i believe by default [19:54] are there keyloggers for ubuntu?. [19:54] blackxored: is it safe to put my definitions in .bashrc? [19:54] or is the kernel too secured for that [19:55] nullp0inter, yes it's safe, but you can also source it to another file under your home to categorize settings [19:55] something like if [ -f ~/.bash_; then . ~/.bash_; fi [19:55] the_file: there are keyloggers, so no [19:55] blackxored: that makes sense, so i can just use that inside .bashrc...thanks! [19:55] nullp0inter, as a golden rule you're safe to touch things under $HOME, but stay away of /etc ;) [19:55] slart: but will they be able to log keys in ubuntu?. [19:55] nullp0inter, np [19:56] bolster, my skype problem? [19:56] k [19:56] get it [19:56] RunnerGeek, yep mate all i need is some hardware specs! [19:56] blackxored on thinking about it skype should fetch your userlist ofver an http link actually, what version are you on? [19:56] is there a screenlet for gnome where i can just embed html code?

[20:01] nullp0inter, no you source your file *from* .bashrc [20:01] full example: http://pastebin.com/dxj8jyz6 [20:01] bolster, then??? [20:01] blackxored added, [20:01] bolster, i even see stats 22,211,840 people online [20:01] now it disconnected [20:02] hi [20:02] connected back still don't see anything [20:02] found a posible bug [20:02] blackxored I take it you've already exited and started it up again? [20:02] how I can upgrade my ubuntu to 10.04 [20:02] from 9.04 [20:02] i installed yesterday, so i assume yes [20:02] directly? [20:02] Igorov, update-manager -d [20:02] but [20:02] this is to 9.10 [20:02] on a default server 10.04 install, it seems universe repos is already enabled? [20:02] bolster, i still don't see you [20:02] I have my taskbar back :p [20:02] StaRetji: A "peristent" install is an odd beast. It't only persistent for things that are read after the kernel and initrd have been loaded. So if you do something that requires the initrd to be updated, which persistence alone won't allow, you'll get problems since the old initrd will be used [20:02] Igorov, you can't do it directly. [20:03] I've some annoying bug in /etc/bash_completion.d/cowsay ... everytime a bash gets started I get an annoying syntax error stating "unknown word `kn' in line 12"... the file has this on line 12: "case $prev kn" (without the quotes)... can someone show me the content of their file (I'm using 10.04 x86_64) or will it be sufficent if I only change it to "case $prev in kn"? [20:03] blackxored have you started it up before or is this the first execution? sometimes skype is a bit shitty about dealinging with no-info under $home [20:03] bolster, what's wrong with this skype, do I have to pay to make test messages? [20:03] bolster, yes I've [20:03] StaRetji: I recommend just doing a regular install to the flash drive instead. [20:03] Daekdroom: but if I have the 9.10 repository [20:03] bolster, you said you added me but i dont' see you here, i'll re-login [20:04] blackxored you should still be clear for skype-to-skype calls and messages, so that should be a problem [20:04] Igorov, then you're going to break your system [20:04] Jordan_U: thx mate, unfortunately, it is not an option [20:04] bolster, clear? [20:04] StaRetji: Why not? [20:04] Jordan_U: most probably, I'l have to reinstall [20:04] Daekdroom: ok [20:04] blackxored free :) [20:04] Daekdroom: thanks [20:04] Jordan_U: beacuse USB stick can't last longer that 2-3 month if it is not live with persistant [20:04] bolster, oh I see, still won't see your contact, try a chat [20:05] Where can I put a .desktop file to have it appear in the main menu? [20:05] question : if i upgrade through the update installer to 10.04 LTS from 9.1 will it wipe my hard drive? [20:05] StaRetji: To get your 'persistent' install working again just delete all of the system files from the casper-rw partition. [20:05] anyone know why im getting "Couldnt find package build-essential" even though the universe repository seems to be enabled? [20:06] Jordan_U: you mean, if I delete all files from casper-rw it will boot like first time, no changes? [20:06] Xetrov`: new install? have you run apt-get update? [20:06] Xetrov`: build-essential is in main actually. [20:06] StaRetji: Yes. [20:06] does anyone know if linux has nvidia optimus support? [20:06] I'm trying to remove the suspend and hibernation buttons in Lucid, but the 'can_hibernate' and 'can_suspend' keys are missing from the gconf-editor. Anyone know of another way to disable them? [20:06] Slart: new install, i have run apt-get update [20:06] bug where every time i unplug the AC adatpter from my laptop the thing says battery low at %100 charge now [20:06] Jordan_U: Thank you very much man, really appreciated it :) [20:07] blackxored Check the Proxy setting in Advanced in the options, make sure its automatic proxy detection, and maybe change the port [20:07] Anyone know how to find which package provides a particular perl module? 'apt-cache search' sometimes succeeds, but not always. [20:07] StaRetji: You're welcome. [20:07] blackxored to anything [20:07] Xetrov`: what does "apt-cache search essential" return? [20:07] StaRetji: Just remember that you can't do any upgrades / changes that require a new kernel or initrd [20:07] whoa, tons === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [20:07] (In particular Net::SMTP, Net::SMTP::TLS, and IO::Socket::INET) [20:08] Xetrov`: and you're not using capital letters anywhere.. sudo apt-get install Build-Essential wont work, as far as I know [20:08] ok i greped build, comes back with build-essential [20:08] used all lower [20:09] Jordan_U: I understand, though I've changed intridr.img few times, when I was changing splash image, but that was done manually. Here I don't know how to clear apt to become available again [20:09] Xetrov`: can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search build-essential; sudo apt-get install build-essential" ? [20:09] ok i think i got it [20:09] tonyyarusso: apt-file search is probably usefull for that [20:09] hello folks, i can test posts for msn usage thru amsn, is there i way i can do this with another app (maybe command mode) ? [20:09] Jordan_U: What's the naming syntax I'm looking for? [20:09] apt-get install drbd8-utils drbd8-module-source \ [20:10] had a space after the \ and before build-essential [20:10] whats the \ do? [20:10] Xetrov`: lets you do a new line without it affecting the command [20:11] ok so really it wasnt needed [20:11] i could have just skipped it [20:11] Xetrov`: nope [20:11] ok thanks [20:11] Xetrov`: yes [20:12] okay, changing it to "case $prev in kn" does not help... so could someone check for differences of their /etc/bash_completion.d/cowsay file with this? http://pastebin.com/fsnpPEaR [20:12] Hello, I'm trying to install flashplayer 10.1 on 64bit ubuntu. However, I have installed nspluginwrapper and copied the flashplayer to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, but it still doesnt work. [20:12] tonyyarusso: I don't know off hand, sorry. [20:13] hi there! I need some help with my Thinkpad T41 - since I installed 10.04 (or it upgraded to the latest kernel, I'm unsure which was the cause since I installed only a few days ago) I can't execute "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" anymore because the module doesn't exist. I have to do that in order to get USB storage devices to work because my Thinkpad's USB ports are somewhat broken and work only with USB 1.1. Any ideas what to do? It drives me nuts! [20:14] im looking for dos2unix program, it's not in tofrodos anymore, and i cant find it on packages.ubuntu.com , some idea where can i find it ? [20:15] I'm trying to download a file to my gui-less server. However, the file is stuck behind a login session. Can I login with lynx/links, export the cookie for the session and use it with wget/curl? [20:16] converge: Just use "fromdos" instead [20:16] I'm on ubuntu 8.04 and I want to upgrade straight to 10.04. Is that possible? [20:16] edbian: Yes [20:16] !upgrade | edbian [20:16] edbian: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [20:16] converge: I use the 'flip' package myself. [20:17] tonyyarusso, flip ? there is a dos2unix there/ [20:17] ? [20:17] converge: on my machine it's still in the package "tofrodos" [20:17] converge: it does the same thing. [20:17] im running a binary program, and it needs the dos2unix .. [20:18] Where can I get the name and address of the person who thought it was smart to make altgr+space nbsp? :) [20:18] no, seriously; how can I make altgr+space _not_ insert nbsp? [20:18] jo-erlend, what's wrong with it? [20:18] hello folks, i can test posts for msn usage thru amsn, is there i way i can do this with another app (maybe command mode) ? [20:18] jo-erlend, it's in keyboard properties somewhere [20:19] I can send sms messages through skype. Is there software in the repos that does this too? [20:19] what's realtime kernel? [20:19] Hi, how can I do my script.sh start on lunch system (not session) and I didn't found any /etc/rc.d/ folder [20:20] drizzt_, well... I write some programs in Python, and Python cares about the difference between a space and an nbsp. [20:20] I had installed a custom kernel image for my computer to get around a show stopper, but then when i updated ubuntu reset my grub configuration to normal. how do i 1) get my other kernel as an option 2) stop that from happening in the future [20:20] sandking, it is a kernel which imitate RTOS [20:20] where can i find my .bashrc? [20:20] drizzt_: thx for reply [20:21] workarounds.. [20:21] edbian: The next version of skype for Linux will enable that feature. [20:21] nullp0inter, isn't it in your home folder? [20:21] humm [20:21] whats that site i can go to search for apt-get packages? [20:21] nullp0inter, it's a hidden file, so if you're using nautilus press ctrl+h to show hidden files [20:21] Anyone know where the Ubuntu / Gnome main menu is on disk? [20:21] speaking portugues? [20:21] tonyyarusso: I think some of what you are looking for is installed in the perl-modules package in lucid, the rest is in cpan, you may be able to use those package listings along with apt-file to see if such a package is availabe in our repos. [20:21] yariv, What feature? It being in the repos? I doubt it. Is there software in the repos that does this? [20:22] rrodrigo, eu falo [20:22] which idiot included lubuntu-desktop in repository? it's awful [20:22] ufa [20:22] rfzero: thanks i think i forgot to hit ctrl h [20:22] nm, found it [20:22] rrodrigo, converge #ubuntu-br caras [20:22] que? [20:22] rfzero, aqui tem mais gente [20:22] drizzt_: Please refrain from such comments in our channels. They are not constructive nor appreciated. If you have a valid bug with a package, please log it on http://bugs.ubuntu.com [20:23] ata [20:23] edbian: Not at the moment but wait for skype 3.0 for Linux. The SMS feature will be available. [20:23] any one got the battery issue [20:23] Hey! Finally got IRC working on my ubuntu 9.04 laptop [20:23] yariv, I don't think you're aware that you can already SMS with skype on linux. Just grab the skype dynamic package from the site. You don't eve have to compile it. [20:23] bolster, still won't see you, no proxy selected, mapping rule, all outbound allowed, inbound for skype port also allowed [20:24] is there a way to tweak the dependencies of a package from the repos [20:24] Guys, i followed the instructions in the Ubuntu server guide in 10.04 to enable IP Masquerading, now I can't ssh into my machine? how can i enable this? [20:24] bsmith093, No [20:24] drizzt_, I run it atm and it's fine :P [20:24] lol, so that bug will lie there as NEW for a couple years [20:24] that was fast are you sure [20:25] bsmith093, Absolutely positive. Unless you re-write the software to not use the packages it needs it's impossible. [20:25] well can i force 2 packages to install that would normally remove each other [20:25] blackxored still cant see anyone either? [20:25] bolster, no [20:25] anyway how to control antialiasing in LXDE? gnome-appearance-properties doesn't work for some reason [20:25] for example gnome-games and same gnome [20:25] just fixed my bash_completion bug... looks like someone made a typo... instead of "case $prev in" the person responsible typed "case $prev kn" ;) [20:25] I saw somrthing now [20:25] bye [20:26] on search but still nothing on contact list [20:26] after a few seconds the results vanishes [20:26] I have a problem with Opera. Everytime i run it it doesnt work. when i run it in terminal it says "nathan@nathan-laptop:~$ opera /home/nathan//lib/opera/10.10/opera: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string [20:26] bsmith093, Well what package do you want to tweak (and what dependencies) ? [20:26] blackxored end of my expertise bro; you've checked your network, and you've got the right version, and its logging in correctly, so I have no idea dude. [20:27] bolster, that only happens if I search from the main window typing the name [20:27] Windpoison, is it bash you're using? [20:27] the same-gnome package was removed from the repos, i found it in the januty repos, but it wont insytall without removing gnome-games on lucid is there a way around this [20:27] i want to create a script that will mount an external drive, then share it with SMB. Possible? I know how to mount the drive, I just need to know if I can create an SMB share from the command line [20:28] drizzt, I am pretty sure, anyway to make sure, I am a linux newbie. [20:28] bsmith093, Are you mixing repos and versions? What version are you running? [20:28] lucid [20:28] Windpoison does your critical battery alert come one when you disconnect from the ac charger on your laptop [20:28] bsmith093, with what repos? [20:28] the lucid repos [20:29] bsmith093, don't do that. ah ha [20:29] bsmith093, Basically you run into the problem you're facing now. [20:29] pehden, I do not have a battery for my laptop [20:29] bsmith093, oh wait. Read that wrong. [20:29] bsmith093, Sorry if I confused you there. Thought you were running lucid with jaunty repos or something (which is just insane) [20:30] I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 PC with Ubuntu running in Virtualbox. How can I connect to the windows file system from ubuntu? [20:30] anyway is there a way to make swell foop speed WAY up [20:30] bsmith093, What's wrong with the gnome-games on 10.04 ? [20:30] blackxored did you try to call the test-caller? [20:30] Hi [20:30] blackxored even if it appears offline? [20:30] lucenut, install filezilla in WIndows and use FTP [20:30] i like swell foop, but its insanely slow [20:30] I tried creating a "Shared Folder" in the virtualbox settings. [20:30] bsmith093, What is swell floop? A game? [20:30] lucenut, activate samba shares and put the VM in the same network as the host [20:30] yes basic block removing game [20:31] Pointed it to C:\ with full access. [20:31] lucenut: try #vbox [20:31] it was caled same-gnome in jaunty, the version in lucid is really slow [20:31] Ubuntu doesn't work with Vista+ network, if you don't know that already [20:31] lucenut: plus can get a good manual from them the website [20:31] lucenut: I think you can share folders using the virtualbox software.. then those folders end up somewhere in the network structure.. at least that's the way it works for windows guest on linux host === nick9892 is now known as StuBb0rn [20:31] bsmith093, Try turning off compiz and then playing. [20:32] how do i disable compiz [20:32] blackxored I'm not really in a location with a skypable network connection, put it that way, :D so the audio is sucking on my test call but the test call doesnt appear online until you interact with it. I have a feeling that skype only polls for status periodically so doesnt 'instantly' know someone is online. [20:32] whoah, lots of peoplexors here [20:32] lucenut: virtualbox support is in #vbox [20:32] re: ubuntu 9.04: I've noticed an appreciable delay during shutdown when I have not unmounted a cifs volume I regularly mount. I'd like to add something to the shutdown procedure that will automatically umount my cifs volume. How would I go about this? [20:32] drizzt_: samba and windows 7 can't speak to each other? [20:32] hello, youtube videos are loading very slow, how can i fix that? [20:32] bolster: system > preferences > apperance [20:32] what program to edit PDF files? [20:32] bolster: visual effects none [20:32] bsmith093, system - > preferences -> apperances -> desktop effects tab [20:32] Slart, unless some hidden settings is tweaked in Ubuntu [20:33] guntbert, I don't understand. [20:33] set to none ? thanks [20:33] Berxwedan: Is your computer lagging in other ways? [20:33] using ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 and the latest flash [20:33] nhasian: there is a pdf editor you can use but it's kind of clunky.. generally speaking you're not supposed to edit pdfs.. but they are plain text files.. so gedit should work [20:33] Nor do I understand how to "activate samba shares". :-( [20:33] no it does not Windpoison [20:33] it's just flash [20:33] bsmith093 bolster: system > preferences > apperance > none [20:33] nhasian, scribus is a good one [20:33] oki no desktop effects set [20:33] I have ubuntu 10.04 and I can't get the Software Center to work. Anyone could help me? Can't find a troubleshooter for it on my own :/ === elisahie is now known as Flar [20:33] rfzero, thanks i'll give that a shot [20:33] Can someone give me some pointers, I have a headnode running dnsmasq acting as a dns/dhcp server to 8 nodes, i had them all up, but they werent going out so I enabled IP Masquerading, following the server guide, now I can't ssh within my nodes... [20:33] nhasian, but you can export any openoffice document to PDF anyway [20:34] electhor: How does it not work? [20:34] Flar what problems are u getting ? [20:34] lucenut: you have a problem with virtualbox (and not so with ubuntu) -- the support channel for virtualbox is #vbox -- type /join #vbox and ask there [20:34] drizzt_: uhm.. I've got an mini-itx server with 9.10 talking to windows 7 machines right now.. I supposed those secret settings were included in the ubuntu package because I sure don't remember doing much to make it work [20:34] i've both a very powerful cpu and a gpu Windpoison [20:34] nhasian, I'd read recently that the latest OOo will let you edit pdfs [20:34] bsmith093, Did it run faster with those turned off? [20:34] no [20:34] zanberdo, really? cool i guess i'll try that first then :) [20:34] Berxwedan: Is it slow loading or lagging? [20:34] Slart, are you on drugs? PDF are *encoded* files, so the only thing you can do in gedit is to corrupt them [20:34] Windposion: both [20:35] nhandler, and pdf is actually not plain text, that's ps. pdf is encoded ps so I don't expect gedit would do you any good (IIRC) [20:35] it's always loading slowly, and also lags in 720p 1080p [20:35] nhasian, check it out with OOo and let us all know! :) [20:35] Flar: How does it not work? [20:35] Balgan: I try to install safe programs as pidgin, msn, volume control, but it always says that cannot install as the packages are untrusted [20:35] Slart, ubuntu have problems when connecting to Vista+ servers, not the way around [20:35] I just updated my 9 to 10, and it didn't have this problem [20:35] bolster, chat is what I need [20:35] drizzt were you kidding about using FTP to connect to the host file system? [20:35] I hate this monitor bug > http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/5895/bugeb.jpg < How can I fix it? [20:35] bergman, openoffice 3.2 doesn't like pdf hehe [20:36] drizzt_: nope.. not on drugs.. the text content of pdfs are plain text.. have a look at a simple pdf [20:36] i didnt think it was possible to edit pdf with OSS software, or anything for that matter, you MIGHT be able to convert it using any one of a million free sites [20:36] Berxwedan: Mine lags in the high quality too, but slow loading could be a slow network. Do you know your network's average speed? [20:36] blackxored: try the skype pidgin plugin and see if it works that way *running out of ideas* [20:36] bolster, it just launches skype, I did that already [20:36] bolster, start a chat if you can see me on your roster, odd [20:36] i have a 8/1 Mbit connection, it's not slow on windows btw [20:37] Hi guys. I have a small problem with compiz and dual head setup [20:37] Flar apparently is a known bug that has to do with servers ur using [20:37] I also lost my volume control button by accident and can't get it back. :D shouldn't have been removing buttons without looking properly [20:37] try going to system-> admin -> software sources [20:37] I ant to be able to resize a window across 2 screens [20:37] and choose a different one [20:37] ok [20:37] nhandler, http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/DocumentManagement/Can_I_edit_PDF_files%3F [20:37] can we create smb share from command line [20:37] and when I trie to do this, the windows snap to one screen [20:37] blackxored already did [20:37] which ubuntu are you using Berxwedan [20:37] can you give me a hint how to solve this issue?? [20:38] 10.04 x86_64 Windpoison [20:38] bolster, i didn't received anything [20:38] damn skype [20:38] hello everyone, any news about sabayon? im trying to make a kiosk with ubuntu 10.04 here, but it stills crashes after creating and editing the profile [20:38] can someone tell me what the default setting for DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY is in /etc/default/ufw? [20:38] Hi, my panel on Ubuntu 10.04 lost "network connections" icon, how can I bring it back ??? [20:39] kemal, wasn't that network-manager [20:39] Flar try mirror.anl.gov [20:39] Ubunto is for wimps and sissies! [20:39] afgsdfg [20:39] I have to type in my keyring password at every logon.

[20:44] NCS_One: that installs >6.5.5-10, i need the specific version 6.5.5-10 [20:44] ihsw: Is there a problem with the version of imagemagick that Ubuntu tries to pull in from default? [20:44] drizzt_: heh in a way [20:45] Hello. I'm using libimobiledevice 0.9.7 on Ubuntu 10.04. When I copy music to an iPhone it doesn't appear in its ipod database (though it says "Syncing ..."). Could anyone help me troubleshoot? [20:45] !debian [20:45] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [20:45] ubottu, it did not recover penel to default, nothing changed [20:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:45] Pici: the ruby gem rmagick requires imagemagick <6.5.5-10 [20:45] skulski: Either use the same naming scheme for your custom kernel as the stock kernel images use, vmlinuz- and initrd.img-, and your custom kernel will be added to the grub.cfg automatically or add your menu entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom (move it to /etc/grub.d/09_custom if you want the entry to appear before the stock kernels). [20:46] Pici: or to be more specific <=6.5.5-10 [20:46] not a single idea anyone? [20:46] Jordan_U:: oh ok thanks! [20:46] skulski: You're welcome. [20:46] ihsw: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? [20:46] Pici: Server 10.04 i386 [20:46] Jordan_U:: i installed this from a kernel package. moving it will cause me problems in teh future for packagemanagement? [20:47] it might complain that its files are gone? [20:47] hi anybody have experienced installing ubuntu remix in a origami umpc (ago7)? [20:47] Hey, when I try to watch the WWDC keynote for the iPhone on the Apple site through VLC player, colors are all off, anyone know of a solution? [20:47] i think i'll just add a custom entry. thanks again Jordan_U [20:47] so can someone help me on my compiz gnome issue? [20:47] mat619: maybe a permissions issue or something [20:47] mat619: Whcih version of Ubuntu? [20:47] skulski: If you installed it from a package then it should follow the normal scheme, and should be included by update-grub. Are you sure it isn't? [20:48] sebsebseb: 10.04. I'm pretty sure it's the USB 2.0 again since my USB ports are shot due to a faulty southbridge chip. I have to disable USB 2.0 in order to get it working, but i have no clue how to do that [20:48] ivo_, compiz is extremally unreliable, you should remove it if it causes problems [20:48] Jordan_U:: it does follow that naming scheme, but on my last update i no longer had it as an entry [20:48] i guess i assumed itw asn't being picked up by the grub scripts [20:48] mat619: oh you got a hardware issue with your USB ports? [20:48] drizzt_ [20:48] but it is named as you say [20:48] I need composite [20:48] anybody can help me on my issue [20:48] Pici: i'm seriously considering compiling from source, also i need to install libmagick9-dev afterwards, will ubuntu not recognize my source-compiled version of imagemagick when it tries to resolve dependencies? [20:48] In order everything to be smooth [20:48] skulski: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [20:49] sure [20:49] ihsw: The version of rmagick in the Ubuntu repositories looks like it would play nice with the version of imagemagic, just going by package dependencies though. [20:49] anyone familiar with linux-phc [20:49] Jordan_U:: one sec, let me install irc client and get on from that computer [20:49] sebsebseb: yup. as i said, southbridge faulty. that's why I used modprobe -r ehci_hcd to disable USB 2.0 in former version of Ubuntu, but with 10.04 that doesn't work anymore... I need a new workaround! HALP! :) [20:49] hi anybody have experienced installing ubuntu remix in a origami umpc (ago7)? [20:50] Pici: well, it doesn't [20:50] hello. Can anyone tell me how do i download the addition repositories for synce via windows xp. I cannot run interent on Ubuntu unless i get synce running on my system. Everywhere on the internet, what i found is the use of this line " deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu your_ubuntu_version main ", but it requires an internet connection. Can somebody help please ? [20:50] mat619: yeah 10.04 can sometimes be a bit weird with USB devices it seems [20:50] ihsw: dpkg / apt are only aware of things installed via dpkg/apt [20:50] mat619: also most of us woudn't even try and disable USB support, since well you know, we want it, and to just work [20:50] Jordan_U: thank you for pointing that out, is there any way to make them aware of things installed via source? [20:50] hi anybody have experienced installing ubuntu remix in a origami umpc (ago7)? [20:51] I have to type in my keyring password at every logon. Any way to make my computer remember it? [20:51] ihsw: Only by packaging them. [20:51] sebsebseb: I know. i don't want to diable USB completely of course, just the 2.0 support so it falls back to 1.1. Then the USB ports work without any trouble [20:51] Pici: should i be installing rmagick via apt instead of gems? [20:51] mat619: maybe you should downgrade to a previous version of Ubuntu, or try another distro, not sure [20:51] hi guys!! === poket is now known as clau_ [20:51] hi anybody have experienced installing ubuntu remix in a origami umpc (ago7)? [20:51] sebsebseb: I thought about both of these options, but I'm afraid that happened due to a change in the kernel. sooner or later i won't be able to work around the issue that way. [20:52] ihsw: Most of what packaging consists of is defining dependencies. [20:52] sebsebseb: there HAS to be a way to disable usb 2.0 in 10.04 though! a lot of people experience the very same issue my thinkpad throws at me here [20:52] hi anybody have experienced installing ubuntu remix in a origami umpc (ago7)? [20:52] mat619: Can you pastebin the output of "lsmod"? [20:52] Jordan_U: i'm looking for ImageMagick-6.5.5-10 deb packages [20:53] ihsw: There is a newer version than that in 10.04 [20:54] shazzr: there is no need to for keyring ; simply type the password once and ignore the keyring password. [20:54] Jordan_U: i know, but i need 6.5.5-10 [20:54] ihsw: You may want to take a look at the comments on this bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librmagick-ruby/+bug/518122 [20:54] ihsw: Why? [20:54] ihsw: Rather than forcing that version of imagemagic, fix the rmagick bug. [20:54] Jordan_U: rmagick requires imagemagick <=6.5.5-10 [20:55] Pici: i'm looking at that page now [20:55] Hey [20:55] hii..!!

[20:56] I was wondering why some programs are removed when doing a (partial) upgrade. For instance the Nvidia drivers, the network manager and some other server components are removed. [20:57] Very annoying if you ask me [20:57] ihsw: Specifically, this comment seems to be the way to go about this properly: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librmagick-ruby/+bug/518122/comments/17 [20:57] installed ubuntu, now i dnt have sound :| [20:58] Whammo: The reason that the firmware is needed is that the device doesn't store it in non volitile memory, it needs to be loaded onto the card for the card to function [20:58] Jordan_U: i'm going to try that now [20:59] Whammo: You can get the firmware (to put in /lib/firmware) from these files: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz , http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz [20:59] Whammo: Assuming you have a flash drive or some other way to transfer those files to the computer in question.

I was hoping to set up an IPTV box in each room [21:56] jordan_U: rhythmbox wont transfer video. [21:56] crypt-0, why? i'm not exactly ssh expert [21:56] ianwizard: nope you definitely cannot. [21:57] Njh : http://www.aboutdebian.com/internet.htm [21:57] mick02: ruh? since when did people store uncompressed video on their home networks? [21:57] MKM: And "Please see the section above on setting the Firewire GUID". Which section is that? [21:57] programs cant run after x updates please help! [21:57] mick02: you can even 'stream' bluray over a home network without much trouble. especially so with wired networks [21:58] ninjai: then try VirtualBox, it should work, and is in the repos. If you can't find it then you can get it from Sun (now Oracle) [21:58] MKM: thanks [21:58] cliff_, more details please [21:58] drizzt_, prefer not to paste logs for the world to see. [21:58] Can I Tar or Dump an entire drive? when i try to dump and entire drive with path"/" it doesn't stop running [21:58] justinh: From what I've been reading on different VOD sites they say that the video needs to be encoded and encapsulated before it is served to the clients. Remember that each room in the house will not have a PC installed, the servers will be streaming directly to the TV (via an IPTV box) [21:58] MKM: will the debian one work with ubuntu [21:58] command to reset network settings! [21:58] mick02: sounds like a way overcomplicated way to do things if you ask me [21:59] and not abbracadabra! [21:59] vlt : that is just the album art..., ie the art image of the particular album.., its ok if you dont set the album art..., and what was that about firewire..? [21:59] ninjai: I also found this for running it on WINE, though I find WINE to be hit or miss. No guarantees that it will work with WINE. [21:59] ianwizard: thanks, i already have vbox installed w/ windows [22:00] ninjai: ok, enjoy then. [22:00] some time ago on ubuntu lucid i made some updates covering i think x server, audio (alsa), nvidia driver. they all died or malfuntioned, so far i fixed nvidia and audio [22:01] paddy_: I just tried choosing "none" for partition table type and it works, but if it's only your partition table that's corrupt you can easily restore that.

[22:02] MKM: There's a firewire GUID that has to match a certain hash in the iTunes_Control directory [22:02] MKM: i am able to create a simple local host, ... i want to know how to create a high end web server on ubuntu so i know for future reference, but really all i want is certain files up so i can reach them anywhere [22:02] some of the apps that dont run are: ubuntu network manager, dropbox, IRC wont display the icon, etc I think the problem is the x server update but idk wat do you think? [22:02] MKM: I set this GUID but it still doesn't work [22:03] cliff_, are you sure that upgrade complered successfully? [22:03] ianwizard: how do i pass aUSB device to vbox? [22:04] ninjai: there should be something under "Devices", that allows you to pick what to send through. I'll look [22:04] morning all, mount point media/ipod does not exist [22:04] yes im sure i waited till the end and restarted to see the changes.

[22:06] i think that update also included the new .22 headers and since then, the update manager always displays that as a new update even right after installing it. its crazy [22:08] vlt : i am not sure but i think this might help you out http://syn.ac/iphone/22/islsk-your-firewire-guid-couldn%E2%80%99t-be-recognized-and-therefore-music-importing-will-not-be-available/ [22:08] ianwizard: did you figure it out?

[22:18] anyone know whether Wesnoth in Ubuntu's repository is broken? [22:18] Hey guys - anyone know how to get the notifications for chat, etc to be clickable? [22:18] livingdaylight, are oyu trying to update OO? [22:19] MKM so if my file is called phc-linux - writeup [22:19] nimbus: 00? [22:19] Striking7, that sounds like it would be an enormous effort to do that [22:19] livingdaylight, open office [22:19] nimbus: just installed Wesnoth but it's not working. [22:19] i would do gedit phc-linux\-\writeup? [22:19] As is, when you get a notification they blur when you mouseover them so you can't click them. [22:19] that's exactly the opposite of what I want [22:19] nimbus, are that a problem with this font only? [22:19] nimbus: no, installed Wesnoth (a game) [22:19] livingdaylight, I have wesnoth but I compiled it from the site [22:20] nimbus: there isn't a config option, something in gconf for that? [22:20] drizzt_, yes. this cutesy font has taken over [22:20] Striking7, deleting gnome files and reseting gnome only provides temporary relief of symptoms it seems. And it never helps the Flash problem. [22:21] I have even removed all flash. [22:21] nimbus: I'm not sure we're on the same page. I'm just talking about the chat notifications that pop up in your upper right [22:21] MKM: I copied three more tracks using Rhythmbox. I can play them from the phone with rhythmbox but not with MobileMusicPlayer on the phone [22:21] my test box is afu. Last night it reported a restart was required, which was a surprise, as I hadn't done any updates. did the restart, and fsck failed. I was told I needed to run fsck manually, in maintance mode, and mount the system read only. Further down, it said I was in maintance mode, read only, so I ran fsck. Had a bunch of errors, but managed to get to the X log in screen. But no joy there, as it wouldn't take my password. So, [22:21] I booted into recovery mode, and tried changing my password there, no joy, I wasn't known to the authentication module.So I tried adding user vic, and he didn't get a password, because he isn't known to the auth. module either. Whats going on? [22:22] MKM: Is there a way to completely reset this database? [22:22] nimbus: why did you meniton OO.o ? [22:22] nimbus: My Flash is behaving great actually (that's a bit of a first :)) [22:22] banker247_ : then if want to view that that file you use phc-linux\ -\ writeup.., note the \ [22:22] livingdaylight, I had issues with that last night [22:22] Striking7, I am glad your Flash is behaving. [22:22] is nimbus a bot? [22:23] I think so... [22:23] vlt : you mean the database of the phone...? [22:23] nimbus: I had issues with updates too... complaints. seems to have updated successfully now though [22:23] MKM: Yes [22:23] Okay, anyone but Nimbus, do you know if there's a way to make notifications clickable? [22:23] Rather than blurring when you mouseover them? [22:23] (In the "Indicator" applet) [22:23] nimbus: Wesnoth starts up with the sound all perfectly, but none of the buttons work. I click away to no avail [22:24] livingdaylight, are you running it in fullscreen mode? === ratonplayer is now known as ratonn [22:24] nimbus: no [22:24] livingdaylight, try that. [22:24] nimbus: just the way it starts up [22:24] isnt nimbus the flying broomstick from harry potter? [22:24] nimbus 2000 if i remember correctly [22:25] and i most certainly do [22:25] David1284: Not sure, but I know "Nimbus" is latin for "storm" [22:25] If you are going to mention my name, please have something helpful about my font problem. I am not a bot and I do not care that YOUR flash installtion works perfectly [22:25] Never read harry potter though [22:25] oi alguem pode me ajudar com o ubunto sera que me solucionar arquivos em abertos [22:25] Striking7: I believe that functionality isn't present in notify-osd, but I think it is part of notification-daemon if you wanted to investigate that instead [22:25] drizzt_ [22:25] !es|bancoecia [22:25] bancoecia: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[22:25] 10x for the advice [22:26] everything is running better without compiz [22:26] nimbus - odd, because you're the one that brought up Flash in the first place.

[22:27] in vim/vi how do I go about doing search and replace of a word I want it to find foo and replace it with foobar? [22:27] MKM: On iPhone 1.1.4 there was a different database format used [22:27] Pirate_Hunter: :%s/foo/foobar/g [22:27] Pirate_Hunter: that is for all instances of foo in the whole document [22:27] Pirate_Hunter, http://www.felixgers.de/teaching/emacs/vi_search_replace.html [22:28] Striking7: Maybe Mr.Shuttleworth didnt want the notifications clickable http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/253 [22:28] trism, ZykoticK9, thanks [22:28] trism, are you sure about that % or was that a typo? [22:28] should i mirror my linux install onto another partition so that i may recover it later - is this possible? [22:29] zeko - I can respect that, but I DO want them clickable :-p [22:29] like if i save the current state of my linux now.. then mess something up later - can i just boot the copy? [22:29] ZykoticK9: yes, before the s you need to specify the region of the document to search, or it will only do the current line [22:29] zeko - I don't mind going through a little trouble to make it happen. That's what happens when I want something different - I totally understand [22:29] ZykoticK9: % is for the whole document [22:29] trism, cool thanks [22:29] vlt : try out the other link.., the ubuntu form.., your problem about firewire is also given.., follow it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [22:29] hey, does anyone know how to release software to the multiverse repository? [22:30] MKM: Yes, that's where I copied "Please see the section above on setting the Firewire GUID" from. What section above does it refer to? [22:30] I installed 2 more HDD to my ubuntu 10.04 box. Can I turn it into a raid5 without reinstalling ubuntu?

Is it supposed to expand environment variables? Ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas how can I get PATH updated so that when I press Alt-F2 I could type there command which should be found in new PATH?

That's the part throw me off [22:36] anyone know a good OCR program? [22:36] Daekdroom, lzantal: No, "" should be empty right now. [22:36] vlt: yes they are and I created the smae partition on them as I have on my sda [22:36] lzantal: The command I wrote creates a new raid5 device [22:37] vlt: awesome, Thank you. I'll go and try it:) [22:37] lzantal: Where did you create them? [22:37] LouisJB : its a much better jdk..!! [22:38] vlt: One more thing, Can I do it from the installed system or do I need to boot into the live cd? [22:38] lzantal: depends if you're moving / or not [22:38] lzantal: You can create a raid device anytime [22:38] lzantal: What do want to do with that raid device later? [22:39] vlt: I used gparted to partition the other two drives. [22:40] vlt: for data protection. I am going to copy a lot of family images and videos [22:40] lzantal: You can partition it first to avoid the devices being messed up by any other OS later. The partition type for raid memebres id "fd" [22:41] !panels | cliff_ [22:41] cliff_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:41] vlt : the link gives the details about the firewire.., seems like you need to create it..!!

[22:43] wiped out /var/lib/apt/lists/* and remade partial, same problem again. [22:43] so is there a way to make my ubuntu server box a network drive at my house, such that i can actively store/watch/use stuff from it? [22:43] cliff_: they should restart on their own [22:43] !resetpanels [22:43] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [22:43] no matter if im at home or somewhere else [22:43] its just a suggestion.., yo sun-jdk should run in ubuntu.., its oracle-jdk actually.!!

Samba will do that. the second part? No, samba will not do that. (Remotely) [22:44] no they just shut down with the command, they arent restarting... [22:44] lzantal: ext4 is a file system. File systems reside on block devices (like disks, partitions, raid devices or lvm volumes) [22:44] cliff_: gnome-panel [22:44] there's nothing called oracle-jdk in the repository [22:45] LouisJB: Yeah. [22:45] vlt: thats the one has ubuntu on it. I only got 2 more hdd and I need at least 3 for raid5, so I need to include it in the raid array [22:45] anyone have any ideas to play x264 on an acer aspire one netbook ? XP can handle it with core AVC but i cannot find a ubuntu equivalent. No one? I have like 100gb of documentaries i can no longer watch since moving to linux [22:46] vlt: seems like I may have to reinstall ubuntu after setting up the raid partitions properly. [22:46] lzantal: Ok. No problem. [22:46] mfpcokets: take a look at vdpau [22:46] lzantal: No [22:46] it's odd, I installed sun-jdk the other week on an uptodate ubuntu installation, now I try the same on one installed today (very latest) and it won;t install due to dependencies that can't be installed [22:46] !H.264 [22:47] ok now the panels are back to defaults but i still dont have a system tray or notification area where it shows my other background apps like dropbox, or net manager,etc [22:47] Kamilion: sorry that went over my head. Linux newb here. vdpau in terminal, google? take a look wherE? [22:47] mfpcokets: Then vdpau's not gonna be fun for you. [22:47] lzantal: Just create the raid with 2 and a missing disk, then create your file system(s), copy all data over, reboot from the new device and finally add the first disk to the array [22:47] Kamilion: LOL [22:48] Kamilion: Im pretty tech savy, i guess i can do some reading. Is it a program ? === HaRiTh is now known as HrT [22:48] mfpcokets: It's nvidia's video acceleration shim -- mplayer and some other stuff can use it. [22:48] Kamilion: ok i guess ill do some reading. [22:48] lzantal: For this setup I'd recommend two fd partitions on each disk. Create a raid1 array of /dev/sd{b,c}1 and a raid5 of sd{b,c}2 [22:49] mfpcokets: I dunno any further as I use radeon HD IGPs (780G) without issue. [22:49] lzantal: Booting from a raid1 is easier because one member of a raid1 is usuable standalone [22:49] vlt: that's sounds doable, Do I need to have a separate /boot [22:49] vlt: lol thats was my question:) [22:50] lzantal: The boot partition will be separate once you use the new device, yes. [22:50] mfpcokets: might try some of this stuff [22:50] http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/mplayer-vaapi/ [22:50] vlt: got it [22:50] lzantal: That's because your boo loader needs to be able to read from it before it can bootstrap the raid aware kernel [22:50] *boot loader [22:51] what is the keycombo to look the screen? [22:52] lzantal: The usuable size for raid1 is that of the smallest device (device = partition here) and for raid5 n-1 * smallest device [22:52] Dunno how to lock the screen with a hotkey. Would like to know also; too used to Super+L on other systems. [22:52] lzantal: What sizes are your disks [22:52] ? [22:53] vlt: awesome. 500GB [22:53] iceroot: ctrl+alt+l or is that my custom setting? [22:54] Hello All [22:54] hello [22:54] VCoolio: great, thank you [22:54] lzantal: I'd recommend 128 or 256 MB for partiton 1 and the rest for partition 2 on each of the disks. [22:55] I get a Segmentation faulty tree 50% when I use aptitude/apt-get (10.04) any ideas how to fix this? [22:55] lzantal: Then `mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l1 -n2 /dev/sd[bc]1` (assuming your new disks are sdb and sdc) [22:56] lzantal: `mdadm --create /dev/md1 -l5 -n2 /dev/sd[bc]2` [22:56] banker247_, for free? none [22:56] Just a quick question | I just installed 10.04 with a direct connect to the internet - but when i go wireless no internet - ??

I am creating the partitions right now [22:58] lzantal: If you want to use more than one file system (maybe for swap or separate /home) I'd recommend using LVM, which is very easy too) [22:59] vlt: thanks for your help. I am happy with one file system right now [22:59] i just upgraded to 10.4 from 8.04... nautilus doesn't allow the right- click option to copy disk as file image =ISO any longer.. what happened?
