[00:00] Piranah, I would bet it's kernel related. It always is :) [00:00] edbian_, lol ya prob :) Im gona wait it out. Its only freezing a cpl times per day. Only anoys me when im in the middle of a movie or something [00:00] :) [00:01] Need some help i got a off brand sound card that isnt supported can some one help me install [00:01] Piranah, use an older kernel [00:01] Piranah, Don't you have like 10 built up in your grub menu by now? [00:02] edbian_, Naa they all went away when i upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 latest kernel update seems to be the most stable thus far [00:02] Piranah, ahhh, deal with it then I guess :) [00:02] edbian_, well the radeon driver loads but my rez won't change, here's my xorg.conf: [00:02] http://pastebin.com/sjJa6Hyh [00:02] edbian_, i'll download and compile an older one if worse comes to worse [00:02] Piranah, I suggest installing updates but still boot the old kernel [00:02] Piranah, I don't think it will come to that [00:03] :) [00:03] hello, my Live CD is extremely slow (slower than previous releases), and syslog shows constant I/O errors, any help? [00:03] mary_, Do you have something new in xrandr --current? [00:03] I bought a dell laptop with ubuntu on it, and everytime I do the updates I reboot and grub has issues I have to use their cd to reinstall grub to get it workingagain? [00:04] ola? [00:04] mary_, So now you're running the radeon driver? Not r128? That's progress :) [00:04] dekenx, check the md5sum of the ISO you used to burn it. If it checks out, reburn the cd on the SLOWEST possible speed [00:04] hay? [00:04] edbian_, yeah I'm running radeon driver, ok let me check xrandr --current [00:04] a3ist: I have and I checks out [00:04] edbian_, xrandr --current shows the same info as before [00:05] mary_, damn [00:05] mary_, try fglrx [00:05] mary_, This is quite the run-around isn't it! [00:05] mary_, oh well, third times the charm :) [00:05] dekenx, reburn the CD at the slowest speed to reduce the chance of errors [00:05] I didn't think fglrx supported a rage? [00:06] mary_, I don't know what else to try. the "correct" driver is the r128. Not sure if that's open or not. [00:06] edbian_, if I click Hardware Drivers it says there are no propeitary drivers [00:06] mary_, see what the modprobe command says [00:06] greetings [00:06] mary_, I think you're right but it's worth a shot. [00:06] run modprobe how? [00:06] i am looking for the consoles, which i used to be able to get to via ctrl-alt-F1 [00:07] mary_, sudo modprobe fglrx [00:07] now (with lucid) i just get a black screen [00:07] i need a console to install NV drivers from their site [00:07] edbian_, well I don't have it installed [00:07] hehe [00:07] mary_, how do you know what module is running right now? [00:07] spotspot, try ctrl alt f2 [00:07] riddlebox: The grub-pc package is probably configured to install grub to the wrong device. Run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the install device, be sure to choose a drive (like sda) and *not* any partitions (like sda1) [00:07] mary_, Are you sure? Does modprobe tell you that? It might come with ubuntu. [00:07] edbian_, I don't remember how to check what mod you are using [00:08] ubutom++ that worked wtf?? [00:08] mary_, sudo lspci -k [00:08] why? [00:08] mary_, shows the module you're using. I'll look up how to get fglrx [00:08] lsmod [00:08] riddlebox: That command will ask other questions. Leave them at their default (some will be blank, that is normal) [00:08] spotspot, sometimes tty1 is busy [00:08] huh [00:08] but then tried alt-f2 3 4 etc and they were all black [00:08] spotspot, especially during installs and such, you have 6 consoles anyway :D [00:08] anyway i'm good now [00:09] spotspot, okay, that's odd, well, it works now :) [00:09] edbian_, ahh this is odd, never seen this module before: [00:09] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TR [00:09] Kernel modules: aty128fb [00:09] aty128fb I thought that's framebuffer? [00:09] It is. [00:10] mary_, http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1415509 does not bode well :( [00:10] mary_, Never heard of it either? [00:10] so why the heck is Lucid loading a fb mod for my video? LOL [00:10] hi all, I don't know if this is a good room to ask, but is it possible to use sed to rename files that match "Link to "* to just * ? [00:10] mary_, So it isn't running r128 or radeon [00:10] qattusverse: Use the "rename" command [00:10] edbian_, no the stupid thing is loading a fb mod [00:10] lol [00:10] Jordan_U: thanks [00:11] mary_, mmmm [00:11] riddlebox: You're welcome [00:11] by electric sheep ftw! :) [00:11] mary_, what did you modprobe before the restart? What should be loaded? [00:12] ok [00:12] Jordan_U: yeah it shows its on sda3 right now, I guess dell put a recovery partition [00:12] hows ar5007 wifi minipcie supported? master mode work? [00:12] edbian_, radeon [00:12] mary_, Apparently that's a very old card. [00:12] Jordan_U, thanks, could you suggest what the perlexpr should be? would it be 'Link to '$ $? [00:12] mary_, Do you have xserver-xorg-video-r128 installed? That's the package that actually has the r128 module in it. [00:13] mary_, unlike the other one that provided that wrapper. [00:13] edbian_, let me look [00:13] hey again....how do i permanently edit the GRUB boot file so I do not have to do it everytime i restart Xubuntu ? [00:13] edbian_, man I hope that's the problem [00:13] * mary_ looks [00:14] mary_, So lemme get this straight, you can modprobe both r128 and radeon with no problems? After you modprobe r128, look at lspci -k and see what's loaded. Do the same with radeon. I wanna see if it actually gets loaded. [00:14] riddlebox: If dell is configuring their Ubuntu machines to install grub to a partition that would be dissapointing. grub even warns you that it's not a reliable configuration (as you've found) when you try to do it. [00:14] edbian_, it's installed === KungFuBear is now known as KungFuBear|WORK [00:14] mary_, good [00:14] edbian_, ok let me modprobe again [00:14] mary_, I guess, that's good. Makes the problem harder ;) [00:14] hello, ive uninstalled pulseaudio since all i want is alsa... and now i dont have sound, how can i install alsa? [00:14] I'm not exactly sure how the permissions through FTP work. Where should I set what permissions a file uploaded by a given user should have? [00:14] i know there is a terminal method but am not sure what it is. also i do not know exactly what file to target [00:15] when i leave my computer playing tv, every so often the screen starts to fade to black, then it locks itself. how do i disable this behaviour? [00:15] Jordan_U: yeah I reloaded my wifes laptop when I got it cause it came with an old version of ubuntu, but mine was current and I like the dell recovery app they put on it, you can create your own dvds for back up on it, but I may have to reload it [00:15] how to remove installed program with cli? [00:15] edbian_, ok I ran sudo modprobe r128 and radeon now you want me to run sudo lspci -k [00:15] ? [00:15] mary_, To see what loaded. [00:15] Exxon: sudo apt-get remove appname [00:16] mary_, yes [00:16] or aptitude remove I guess [00:16] edbian_, same aty128fb [00:16] riddlebox thanks. [00:16] no idea how to install just ALSA instead of pulseaudio? [00:16] !alsa [00:16] 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. [00:16] mary_, You have to figure out how to modprobe the driver you want. I have to go now :( [00:16] mary_, Good luck! I suggest using /etc/blacklist [00:16] exit [00:16] k [00:16] hello? can anyone help me with this? [00:17] riddlebox: Well installing grub to the mbr will likely clobber whatever their using as a bootloader for the recovery app. [00:17] siddhion: what version of grub? [00:17] i need to find out how to change the GRUB boot file from Terminal [00:17] well the one that came with Xubuntu 10.04 [00:17] siddhion: why> [00:18] mneptok: because I need to enter i915.modeset=1 to the end of one of the boot lines [00:18] mneptok: or eXubuntu wont load [00:18] siddhion: try sudo update-grub [00:18] anyone tried to install tor & to configure in ubuntu 9.10 ? simply does not work. [00:18] siddhion: ah, that's not changing a boot file, that's passing a kernel parameter.

[01:09] roosh, go and edit your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf file..make it load the vesa driver..just to get you into the gui so you can configure it [01:09] skreet: yea that's not working either. I didn't realize i lost the network entirely going to restart the network see if that helps thanks. [01:09] paraintj: No problem. [01:09] then you can go into the hardware drivers program and have it load the nvidia driver [01:10] Hi guys [01:10] roosh: vesa is usually pretty standard and always works [01:10] phong__: yes [01:10] kreppnar: im already in graphical mode. from text mode i inputed: startx which got me in grphical mode [01:10] oh i see [01:10] what are you planning on using? gdm or kdm? [01:11] roosh, in the konsole , lspci | grep VGA [01:11] kreppnar: i don't understand, im new to linux [01:11] roosh: gdm and kdm are the gui login programs for ubuntu [01:11] Let me say at the start I am a PCLinuxOS user - no mean to start a flame war / spam - I came here to look for a support for something the systems have in common however wanted to mention that its not ubuntu I am seeking help with [01:12] here is the output: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2) [01:12] err konsole - console = terminal [01:12] AndrzejL: Ubuntu has quite a bit of customization, what is it that they have in common you're referring to? [01:12] roosh: if your video card is starting the x system fine after startx ..it must be the gdm or kdm configuration [01:12] apt-get / synaptic package manager [01:12] how to short cut paste? [01:13] CTRL + V? [01:13] How do I see the running process using port 80? [01:13] roosh: u can sudo apt-get install kdm .. and try that [01:13] sdwrage: lsof -i :80 [01:13] roosh: or gdm [01:13] what is the short cut paste ? [01:13] as root [01:13] hi, i tried extracting an ISO from a CD but brasero told me i need toc2cue and cdrdao. I installed the latter but the former i cant seem to find. how do i solve this? I am on lucid 64, thanks [01:13] ctrl + v or not? [01:13] kreppnar: which one? [01:13] another nice login manager for those with limited resources is "slim" [01:13] roosh: i prefer gdm [01:13] skreet: apt-get / synaptic package manager - we use it with apt4rpm === no is now known as Guest62513 [01:13] phong_: ctrl+c/ctrl+v, also highlight to copy and middle click [01:13] phong_: ctrl+c to cut ctrl+v to paste [01:13] ok this is going to sound crazy but I setup my entire family with ubuntu the last few days. Laptops freaking desktops media server etc etc 9 total new users now on linux :p I only have 1 complaint so far and I'm going to find a way to duplicate it. [01:13] ok [01:13] also, it only boots to text mode happens some of the time [01:14] AndrzejL: So what are you needing help with, exactly? [01:14] phong_: ctrl+c is copy ctrl+x is cut [01:14] should i try anyways? [01:14] i think i have a problem with one of my kernel drivers. is there a regular (non-ubuntu) kernel package I can install temporarily to test things? [01:14] paraintj, why would you want to duplicate the complaint? [01:14] IdleOne, dont work in terminal [01:14] My mom is complaining lol that the only thing she can't do on ubuntu so far that she could on vistacrapola is double click a browser to do a double side by side browser comparison? [01:14] phong_: ctrl+shift+c or v [01:14] I think he means there's some bug someone asked about that he's trying to replicate [01:14] IdleOne, that works ;) [01:14] brb [01:14] To be honest I don't even know what she's talking about but I'm 99% sure somewhere out there ubuntu can do it lol [01:15] paraintj: were you using firefox on vista?? [01:15] phong_: in terminal you have to use the shift key also [01:15] roosh: Please post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/Xorg.1.log to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ -- it may help. [01:15] kreppnar: yes sir she was using ff on vista is that a ff option she is talking about? [01:15] kreppnar, its his mother that was asking about it, he's just getting it secondhand from her [01:15] paraintj, I think she means the snap thingy where the windows go half and half across the monitor. [01:15] paraintj: Sounds like the Windows 7 (Vista also??) side-by-side feature. KDE has that. [01:15] skreet - till sometime ago I was able to reload synaptic / apt-get update via command line and then upgrade the system NOW when I am booting up and starting synaptic it hangs instead of reload the package list. When I will use as root apt-get update it downloads upgrades list and it hangs - wont relaod the packages and I cannot upgrade the system [01:15] braxton: yep I think your right. [01:16] paraintj: for one thing..old people who use vista and only know windows....can easily get confused to linux..its just fact [01:16] there should be a way to set that up in compiz with the window snap [01:16] skreet: kde hu I'm going to check it out for her. [01:16] could also set rules specific to firefox [01:16] AndrzejL: apt-get update just updates the package contents. Can you pastebin the output. Also, does PCLinuxOS have a support channel? [01:16] paraintj: firefox is pretty much the same as windows version..some slight difference..it just runs better [01:16] skreet: I think apt-get package list got corrupted somehow and I am unable to overwrite it [01:16] kreppnar: yea that's true but I've been teaching them for 2 days now and they really love ubuntu and are taking to it well. My fam only uses IM's and browsers. [01:16] how to log in terminal as su ? === Guest62513 is now known as dovim [01:17] AndrzejL: Does it? At work my firefox is super slow, much faster in Windows 7 :( [01:17] kreppnar: ok I'll try that I been having them all use google chrome beta for linux but I'll switch her back to ff [01:17] phong__: sudo -i [01:17] bastidrazor, it works thank [01:17] skreet: it does however I am forced to seek help in bigger group of users. [01:17] paraintj: well there are a ton of browsers available. Opera, Chrome, Firefox, SeaMonkey, etc etc [01:17] phong__: usually; sudo su [01:18] paraintj: even konqueror from KDE is pretty simple to understand [01:18] Typos_King, no, bastidrazor sudo -i is correct one [01:18] Typos_King: sudo su can leave you with a lot of carryover environment vars. sudo -i or sudo su - is preferred [01:18] paraintj, how old are you? [01:18] * Typos_King checks [01:18] Typos_King: sudo su would require root to have a password [01:18] kreppnar: well she explained it as - (and I wiped it so its gone now) as a double click in the bottom center of the screen and it somehow duplicated the browser and did a side by side comparison so she could copy over data. I'm going to check out this KDE option braxton is mentioning. [01:18] paraintj: as for IM... alot of good ones there too, Pidgin, kopete, Amsn [01:18] bastidrazor: Not true. [01:18] i want to do a notepad>.txt file [01:19] how would i do. [01:19] lol [01:19] braxton: 23 the oldest of 7 [01:19] i want to open a file to read it [01:19] phong_, do you have a diffent native language? [01:19] paraintj, things like window snap aren't managed by the programs themselves, or the kernel; that's the domain of your window manager, like compiz, metacity, etc. Check the options for the one you're using to see about settings rules for window snap and program-specific rules [01:19] pico txt.txt [01:19] I see [01:19] kreppnar: they are taking to this empathy pretty well. [01:19] paraintj: you on the standard gnome desktop now too right? [01:19] braxton, ;) [01:19] paraintj, cool. I'm 15 and my parents are clueless when it comes to any cognitive abilities. [01:19] Poll: what irc client are you using? [01:19] a3ist: ahh that's right! compiz might have that option nice thanks. [01:19] paraintj: i personally love the new LXDE desktop ...so awesome [01:20] the new Enlightenment 17 desktop is looking cool too [01:20] bluechile: Empathy [01:20] paraintj, you can set rules specifically for certain windows with compiz [01:20] lostirc [01:20] braxton: I'm just so freaking tired of my whole family calling me every 1-3 years to fix their WINBLOWS pc cause of malware or viruses OR how slow they are. [01:20] This fam is done with winblows lol [01:20] paraintj: yeah Compiz has a set of a bunch of options for all those cool features [01:20] you only get called every 1 to 3 years? Consider yourself lucky [01:20] can anyone tell me why i can't install the vmware 7 x64.bundle ? [01:20] paraintj: Is it Windows fault that they're incompetent, or their fault? [01:21] skreet: any idea how to fix this issue? some lock file that needs to be removed? package list cache to be cleared? I was browsing the net for a solution for 3 days now... [01:21] where can i post the text file ? === kasun is now known as Guest37153 [01:21] !windows [01:21] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [01:21] skreet: mostly my fams installing dumb stuff [01:21] paraintj, if you don't have it yet get "compizconfig-settings-manager" from the repo [01:21] skreet: I can't wait to see the little ones try on ubuntu lol [01:21] roosh, run this in the terminal , sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:21] is there a paste website so i can paste it? [01:21] paraintj: LOL i feel yeah..im family tech support too..i wish they would all switch to Linux so i could just ssh to their box's and fix stuff from my house [01:21] paraintj: Then you can probably safely stop calling it Winblows.

[01:24] hi again ... does anyone know how to add applications to the Launcher in the panel? for example, i would like to add Chrome to it. All I see now is Firefox [01:24] braxton, With the 'Everyone should use Linux Winblowz sucks Macs r stupid' stuff, etc. It's why people stereotype linux users. [01:24] i am using Xfce [01:24] phong__, Pretty much, yeah. [01:24] It never stops, and it's just ruining my 6th installation attempt. [01:25] skreet, I can have opinions.

[01:27] jamesch are you using Ubutnu because I am using Xubuntu [01:27] paraintj: Linux is linux. they just change the software :] [01:27] where do i put firmware so the kernel can see it? [01:27] siddhion: ah, yes, I am [01:27] upgrdman, cli command "modprobe" [01:27] paraintj: We use RHEL at work... it's really old software but still Linux =) [01:27] BluesKaj: i also reinstalled gdm, as you or someone else asked. I'll try this out to see itf it works [01:27] jamesch yeah, hmm. [01:28] roosh, try a reboot [01:28] anyone here using a Creative Sound Blaster XF-I Platinum? [01:28] I've been digging through xmodmap wiki articles and man pages for a while now...anyone know how I can block mouse move (MotionNotify) events unless a certain key is held? IE, prevent the mouse from moving the pointer/cursor unless a specific button is being held down [01:28] kreppnar: I wish :[ [01:28] can some one help me witht his paste: i'm trying to install vmware 7 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/447482/ [01:28] skreet: wow nice I just started using centos for hosting and it is amazing - you must be a linux system admin that's what my father in law does hes always trying to get me to do that. [01:28] skreet: it works for me and everything..but the external docking pay with the extra plugins was just left out of the entire picture [01:28] a3ist, ok. what flag do i need to use with modprobe to install or find the location for firmware [01:28] paraintj: Yep, I'm a sysadmin. Good guess :P [01:29] skreet: lol its like they didn't want to make a driver in the first place, so they just skipped it [01:29] upgrdman, you'd install from a repo or deb like normal, and then udev should detect it automatically on boot [01:29] skreet: yea he tried to get me to use unix years ago and even recently but I ran into ubuntu luckily I am just not unix material [01:29] phong_: My guess is you dont have make, or any other build tools. run 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' [01:29] you can load or unload modules on demand with modprobe and rmmod [01:29] oh [01:29] a3ist, i have the module. i have the firmware... but where does the firmware go. it's not a package [01:30] I wish I had a programming job, lol [01:30] can anyone recommend a good app to take a bunch of mpeg files and put them into chapters for DVD .iso file? [01:30] Anyone know how to get my terminal to not cut off letters on my widescreen? :/ [01:30] In Ubuntu Server [01:30] paraintj: i love trying all different types of linux's [01:30] paraintj: Being a sysadmin means working at the commandline level 99% of the time. though we do have linux desktop users... [01:30] alright it seems to work for now. Thanks a lot! [01:30] skreet: yea that's how he is too you guys are elite and the fastest when you think about it GUI just slows you down for the most part [01:30] paraintj: For some stuff, yeah. [01:30] roosh: aye np [01:31] i <3 shell [01:31] skreet, how to list current open processes? [01:31] After I enabled nvidia drivers, I hit "log out" instead of "restart" and it complained about not having the nvidia module, then when I rebooted it didn't start X, just left me at the console login. Is there an easy way to fix this or should I just reinstall? (it's a clean install already) [01:31] i spend alot of time in that thing anyway [01:31] keppnar: nice what distro you having fun with these days? I'm having fun with fedora 13 desktop wise and centos 5.5 for servers [01:31] lastlog upgrdman [01:31] phong_: ps aux|less is my preference [01:31] sry [01:31] skreet, how about current running applications.. [01:31] that is too much process [01:31] raincomplex: Should have given you options about starting in low graphics mode, right? [01:32] paraintj, I don't think I would like any other distros. [01:32] :/ [01:32] phong_: processes are applications. I think GNOME has a 'task manager' app of some sort that might give you more details (or less details as it were) [01:32] oh okay. [01:32] paraintj; i have seven computers...i have a server, which i still need a server rack for...but it runs ubuntu-server, this gaming computer runs kubuntu, 1 of my laptops runs Open Suse 11.1, and my other laptop runs Linux Mint, and my PPC mac runs Ubuntu [01:32] the other two run slackware 13 [01:32] which i really like [01:32] I've become a fan of arch linux === Farkie is now known as Farkie[Away] [01:33] anyone here tried Puppy Linux? [01:33] a3ist: I was using Arch for a while -- it's nice if you have time to build it up. [01:33] I cut my teeth on Gentoo years ago. [01:33] yeah [01:33] braxton: other then ubuntu? f13 aint so bad the repos arn't setup as nice as ubuntu though ubuntu really has that going on and the documentation is WAY better atleast from what I have seen. [01:33] skreet: Yeah, and I picked "just for this session" and then rebooted, then it dropped me at the console. [01:33] But nowadays I'm so busy that I just want it to work. [01:33] skreet: lol i remember gentoo install... i failed..hard [01:33] kreppnar: open suse that's a distro my father in law tells me is great I have got to try that one some day. [01:33] hy all [01:34] raincomplex: Are you comfortable at the command line? [01:34] gentoo, arch and other lightweight "build it yourself" type distros can pay off big time when you're working with lots of restraints [01:34] kreppnar: what is good about linux mint? I have never heard of that distro [01:34] skreet: Yes [01:34] raincomplex: Basically, you want to look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see why the NVIDIA modules are failing. Should be (EE) lines with errors. [01:34] paraintj, it's an ubuntu derivative. [01:34] paraintj: its ubuntu based...very stable though [01:34] !mint | paraintj [01:34] paraintj: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[01:37] phong__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player [01:37] bastidrazor: thanks [01:37] raincomplex: DVI or VGA? [01:38] skreet: The errors are like "Not using built-in mode "WxH" (hsync out of range)" -- VGA [01:38] raincomplex: Is DVI an option? DVI has better negotiation in my experience. [01:38] ActionParsnip, they told me to uninstall everytying first: this is what i dont know cd /lib/modules//misc [01:38] can somebody help...please [01:38] where can i find this info [01:38] raincomplex: If not, you need to start learning about modelines and how to edit Xorg.conf. [01:39] phong_: uname -r [01:39] oh okay [01:39] skreet, this is what i got: 2.6.32-22-generic [01:39] so use it right? [01:39] phong__: run it in a terminal, see if there is stuff there [01:39] phong_: It's kernel version 2.6.32, the rest is Ubuntu-specific. [01:39] Does ubuntu support the pentium i7 [01:39] XStatik: Yes. [01:39] skreet: My card only has VGA out; I don't suppose slapping a DVI converter on the end of the cable would do it, eh? :P [01:39] skreet, ty [01:40] = = [01:40] raincomplex: Haha, nope.

[02:00] <[DreamZ]> kreppnar: is there a way to partition one of my other hdds so i can install ubuntu? [02:00] phong_: i was having trouble with Virtual Box.

[02:01] [DreamZ] gparted is another good one [02:01] TANK, Are you sure ? [02:01] From memories... On the debian wiki it say on sdb and NOT on sdb1 [02:01] hey everyone I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520d and whenever I put down the lid this light at the bottom of the laptop comes on. Does anyone know how I could disable this in Ubuntu 10.04? [02:01] I'm searching TANK. [02:01] im almost completely positive, I was playing around with archlinux last night, thats how mine worked at least [02:01] kk koshie, make sure [02:01] <[DreamZ]> ok but kreppnar: i have some shit on the hdd like 360 isos etc, it wont delete them all will it? i just want to make a 1gb partition so i can use ubuntu etc [02:01] should give you an option to just resize it [02:02] shouldn't hurt the existing partition [02:02] there is a partition editor yea [02:02] ActionParsnip: nvm ... I did it with dmesg > output.txt [02:02] <[DreamZ]> ok is gparted a windows app yea? [02:02] ubuntu [02:02] [DreamZ], you could use Wubi if you have windows installed [02:02] sudo apt-get install gparted [02:02] 1gb isn't gonna cut it [DreamZ] [02:02] wipe windows. you will thank me later [02:02] yeah ubuntu takes about up to 3 gigs [02:03] <[DreamZ]> i can make a 7gb partition its not a problem... [02:03] ok [02:03] so yeah gparted lets you resize your partition for windows to make room for linux [02:03] <[DreamZ]> but when i boot my pc, will it give me an option to boot into windows or ubuntu from another hdd i have installed? [02:03] So, uh, I bought an external 2TB USB hard drive, it came formatted NTFS... should I leave it as is or format as ext4? [02:03] TANK, in the french wiki of ArchLinux I've see that : "dd if=archlinux-2009.08-core-i686.img of=/dev/sdb" [02:04] <[DreamZ]> kreppnar: are u on efnet? [02:04] ya should give you the option to boot either [02:04] mdl-unit: you just plan on using it for strictly linux? [02:04] <[DreamZ]> i can log into windows and talk to you then? [02:04] is there a reason why my fans are running full speed, 100% of the time in ubuntu 10.04. but not in win7, unless while gaming? there's very little cpu usage, no reason for it [02:04] Does anybody here use KDevelop? All I have is C++, I would like to add more. Do not know how. [02:04] [DreamZ] : No, but i do have skype and MSN [02:04] I don't forsee using it in anything other than linux, but I guess I could envision a scenario where I would want to access it otherwise... bleh [02:04] <[DreamZ]> ok kreppnar: add me dannyman31"hotmail.com [02:04] k [02:04] <[DreamZ]> @ * [02:05] <[DreamZ]> safe [02:05] <[DreamZ]> ill be on in a min [02:05] ok here is the output of dmesg on my machine ... I cannot find any errors but there are a few lags (I think) ... though what to do I am not sure ... is it normal to have such a long output right after booting up? http://paste.ubuntu.com/447501/ [02:06] mdl-unit: well if gparted can take a linux partition and resize it to make room for a windows partition..then i dont see why it would be no problem to make it a ext4 [02:06] kreppnar, that's a good point, thanks [02:06] mdl-unit : aye np [02:08] hmmm weird. i've done nothing and the fans are finally slowing down. took 30 minutes to realize all i'm running is xchat. lol [02:08] hey everyone I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520d and whenever I put down the lid this light at the bottom of the laptop comes on.

[02:33] but if you can, can you point me to the open source one? that would work too [02:33] TANK; are you using it to build something else or just for q3 game itself? [02:33] thats best i can do lol [02:34] just Q3 [02:34] hyuukai, what version of ubuntu [02:34] newest one [02:34] TANK: do you have the pk3? [02:34] TANK; so why do you have to compile? [02:34] hyuukai, sec [02:34] does anyone know how I can get Lucid to load my vid driver for r128 instead of a fb driver that it's loading? [02:34] hey everyone I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR520d and whenever I put down the lid this light at the bottom of the laptop comes on. Does anyone know how I could disable this in Ubuntu 10.04? [02:34] TANK; just run it through wine and it works a treat. [02:35] foxmulder881: even on a netbook? [02:35] TANK; Should do. [02:35] foxmulder881: there is a linux native client of q3 [02:35] Mart: does lucid no longer support the xorg.conf file [02:35] foxmulder881: ill try it, thanks [02:35] TANK; I just run the Windows version through wine. Or used to... [02:35] TANK: h/o [02:35] this distro offer a net install? trying not to download a BIG cd or dvd iso === brandon is now known as p1oooop [02:36] i'm installing win7 with virtualbox [02:36] hyuukai, have you checked the sound options? [02:36] is virtualbox cool? [02:36] why windows [02:36] yes it is [02:36] really [02:36] to do what? make sure sound is up? yes [02:36] phong_, yes I have win7 works like a charm on virtual box. [02:36] why? === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux_ [02:36] !mini | enyawix [02:36] enyawix: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [02:37] !netinstall | enyawix [02:37] enyawix: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:37] thanks [02:37] anyone here good with X, can help me to get it to load my correct driver because it won't? [02:37] TANK: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-newbie/51375-installing-quake-iii.html#post281392 [02:37] virtualbox is good, just dont try to sysprep win7 or try to test WDS on virtualbox, it doesnt work [02:37] falserunes_: "why windows"? whatwhat? [02:37] LOL [02:37] I would try if I would get a response from you MARY [02:37] Gryllida; I guess some people still use Windows! === hebz0rl__ is now known as hebz0rl [02:37] xxpor: ty for the link [02:37] I do. [02:37] TANK: np [02:38] hi [02:38] anyonehere? [02:38] falserunes: what ya mean if you got a response? [02:38] what do you need windows for? [02:38] findM: no [02:38] foxmulder881: If windows is life without walls, then wtf do you need windows for? [02:38] TANK; work stuff. [02:38] can anyone tell me how to reinstall cron? [02:38] does lucid no longer support xorg.conf file [02:38] yes it does, but you don't need one [02:38] foxmulder881: wine isnt just for games dood [02:38] Gryllida: you need to edit your ~/.fonts.conf, this is an example without antialiasing http://pastebin.com/JbQZgFue [02:39] well why can't you make it use the conf file just to make it work? [02:39] TANK; yeah I know. What makes you think I thought that? [02:39] !grub2 | monokrome [02:39] monokrome: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [02:39] fearful? [02:39] trism: but it has aliasing and hinting settings, while I want to turn _smoothing_ off. [02:39] there must be some way to override huh? [02:40] falserunes: I made the xorg.conf but it still loads aty128fb at startup and not my r128 driver even though it shows up in xorg.conf [02:40] hyuukai, did you check your sound preferences, to see if anything is muted and the correct channels are working? [02:40] wait,, I know this one... [02:40] ok [02:40] hold [02:40] fearful nothing is muted in sound preferences [02:41] hyuukai, have you tried using Pulse Audio? [02:41] fearful no? [02:41] I have a Acer Aspire running Ubuntu remix 10.04 and when I put it in suspend mode it locks up, same thing happens when I close the lid.. Does anyone have a insight on this? [02:41] oh my god, how can i get cursor out of virtualbox [02:41] to ubuntu [02:41] hmm [02:41] right control? [02:41] i got stuck in virtual box [02:41] control alt delete? [02:41] phong_; right ctrl key. [02:42] i think the default is right control [02:42] Right ctrl Key = 'ungrab' [02:42] ok let me try again [02:42] fisrt things first, have you downloaded the driver in synaptic? [02:42] TIme to check the virtualbox manual :) [02:42] or some other way? [02:42] Gryllida: oh I see, you want like the best shapes setting in Appearance/Fonts? didn't realize, just set antialiasing to true, and that's setting is pretty close (that's what I have, I turned on antialiasing cause I was confused about what you wanted) [02:42] thank you Jordan_U [02:42] hyuukai, do you have the drivers installed? [02:42] Gryllida: turned off that is [02:43] fearful pulseaudio? according to synpatic i do it ahs a green box in synaptic? [02:43] hyuukai, ok, well do you have the suitable drivers? [02:43] hyuukai, and up to date [02:43] trism: I have full hinting, no smoothing, no idea what about antialiasing [02:43] fearful i have not done anything but a clean install of ubuntu [02:43] hyuukai, ok [02:44] hyuukai, one sec [02:44] can anyone tell me were the mount point for the ipod touch is at? i can't find it. [02:44] foxmulder881, u are right about the key [02:44] foxmulder881, u're the best of the best. [02:44] back falserunes [02:44] phong_; cheers mate. Glad you got it sorted. [02:45] Gryllida: if you have smoothing set to none, then you want antialiasing false [02:45] Gryllida: and you should set hintstyle to medium [02:45] foxmulder881, if it is free why vmware sale it? [02:45] juan_, is it a brand spanking new ipod touch? [02:45] Gryllida: I mean full [02:45] foxmulder881, stupid vmware [02:45] Hi everyone! I am having trouble sharing folders over the network from an NTFS drive between two computers both running Ubuntu. I have been searching all over for the solution, but have yet to find it. Anyone have any suggestions? [02:45] trism: will JUST full anti-aliasing solve it? [02:45] what is your vendor:device number? [02:45] foxmulder881, i'm sure no one buy vmware..they rather use virtualbox [02:45] newbee, I would like to install compiz but stuck at apt-get install compiz [02:45] tucemiux. no it's about 3weeks old [02:46] foxmulder881, vmware should close down? [02:46] and have you gotten the driver module downloaded [02:46] juan_, i mean have you ever connected the ipod to any computer ? [02:46] Gryllida: just play around with the settings till you get what you like, it updates as soon as you refresh a page so you get instant feedback [02:46] phong_; vmware is mainly for commercial environment and is much more advanced and capable that vb. [02:46] falserunes: I'm using the X driver [02:46] so, you have it? [02:46] #planeshift [02:46] dayrot, can you describe the trouble you are having sharing the folders? [02:46] foxmulder881, like what is 1 thing advance? [02:47] what card are you using? [02:47] tucemiux. yes, and i can see it and use it here on this os. but i need to find out the mount point so i can use my virtual box with it. [02:47] foxmulder881, all we want is to run os what advance can it be better ;0 [02:47] falserunes: I just made an xorg.conf -- sudo Xorg -configure and in it now it says Driver "r128" [02:47] [02:47] trism: ok [02:47] so i had this XFS partition at /dev/sdd...it used to mount fine a LONG time ago...then /dev/sdd just didn't appear to the kernel for a while....today /dev/sdd appears again but i can't mount it. the xfs volume seems to not be there...sudo fdisk -l shows sdd1 but blkid shows no UUID, it can't be mounted, and xfs_check claims it's not a XFS filesystem, what can i do? [02:47] falserunes: Rage 128 Pro Ultra TR [02:47] phong_; virtualization goes beyond just running an operating system at home. [02:47] hyuukai, I have no idea man I was trying to search for a solution. Sorry [02:47] foxmulder881, i see [02:47] falserunes: that's what lspci says, it's a rage 128 pro pci card [02:48] fearful oh :/ thanks anyway ive read around it was a problem though it would be solved [02:48] fearful im a noob though [02:48] newbee, I would like to install compiz but stuck at apt-get install compiz [02:48] is there anyway to get the live cd for Ubuntu 10.04 to behave so i can install it? [02:48] foxmulder881, i saw the settign in virtual box 1 cpu to 16cpu > i have Intel i7 so how many cpu is that? [02:48] hyuukai, we are all noobs here, we can never learn enough [02:48] foxmulder881, currently i set it to 1 [02:49] phong_; especially when you get multiple servers running performing different tasks. Then it all gets complicated. You see what I mean. [02:49] ok, great then if the driver is downloaded then it should be using it right [02:49] jon_high9000: what do u mean install it? [02:49] foxmulder881, i dont know but i'm setting it to 1 ...is that okay? [02:49] Sure, I set a folder to shared using the GUI, when I browse to it from the client and attempt to open/mount it, it says "Unable to mount location. Failed to mount windows share" [02:49] phong_; I'm assuming your cpu is dual-core. [02:49] foxmulder881, Quad core I7 [02:49] falserunes: should be but it's not, this is what lspci -k says: [02:49] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TR [02:49] Kernel modules: aty128fb [02:49] install the OS. [02:49] 4 cores = 8 thread [02:50] Gryllida: man fonts.conf documents the settings that are available [02:50] phong_; try setting it to 4 and see what happens. [02:50] phong_, oh yea [02:50] oh [02:50] hyuukai, google "nvidia audio driver for ubuntu 10.04" some promising [02:50] foxmulder881, core = cpu? [02:50] i thought i only have 1 physical cpu [02:50] falserunes: Lucid is loading a fb driver instead of r128 :( [02:50] phong_; no. [02:50] I have no problem with sharing folders which are on my OS drive. [02:50] open the conf file again to make sure it saved if you haven't already [02:50] phong_; you do. But that one cpu has 4 cores running. [02:51] so my setting is correct..... 1 cpu [02:51] tucemiux. do you happen to know were it's at? [02:51] it is partition like a hard drive [02:51] I'm trying to get snort to update using oinkmaster, but it seems like the version that I have installed with apt-get is depreciated. [02:51] foxmulder881, so my setting is correct then...i set to 1 cpu [02:51] phong_; much as my own old Pentium D is only single core. Meaning it runs only one core. [02:51] help im trying to start cron [02:51] phong_; yes, leave it set to one and you won't have any dramas then. [02:51] what does your glxinfo say [02:51] foxmulder881, i got ur core point [02:51] but i keep getting cron: 45: start-stop-daemon: not found [02:51] what does that mean?! [02:51] okay. [02:51] juan_, no sorry, I typically used amarok to put songs into an ipod, never bothered finding out where the ipod was mounted, amarok worked like a charm [02:52] turboboost? === db is now known as Guest70133 [02:52] im on hardy install [02:52] what am i doing wrong?! [02:52] foxmulder881, last question for u, is it better to run windows and have ubuntu run in virtual box? [02:52] or vice versa [02:52] tucemiux. it won't for me. it says it doesn't support mp3 does not reading my ipod. [02:52] hello [02:52] anyone? [02:52] i searched the google but no answers [02:52] :( [02:52] i have noticed windows running better in ubuntu than windows on the hardware [02:53] foxmulder881, i'm very confused about it. === Yutaka is now known as Yutaka1 [02:53] fearful no idea :( [02:53] how would i identify what filesystem is on a partition...i have this partition here and i KNOW it has valid data on it...but i can't mount i [02:53] tucemiux_ did you get that? [02:53] phong_; what are you confused about? [02:53] juan_, have you installed mp3 functionality in ubuntu? [02:53] anybody has PS/2 Compatible Mouse driver for linux? [02:53] foxmulder881, should i run windows and have ubuntu as in vb [02:53] or the other way [02:53] tucemiux. don't know what are the packages name? [02:54] phong_; whichever is your preference. Personally I just dual-boot and don't bother with virtual machines. [02:54] falserunes: xorg.conf is fine [02:54] foxmulder881, i have 2 choices to choose: windows then ubuntu in vb or ubuntu have windows in vb [02:54] dayrot, nope, you have to describe the problem you are having, all in one line, otherwise youre going to lose everyone if you type line by line [02:54] oh [02:54] btw fearful this is onboard sound from mobo [02:54] phong_; what do you do and use most? [02:54] windows [02:54] ok [02:54] ok, bear with me, I have to get it figured out on my end, I'm tying [02:55] guo: PS2 mice should Just Work™ [02:55] I'm having problems with Flash 10.0 r45 on Ubuntu 10.04 with Firefox. [02:55] most of my work is windows [02:55] falserunes: xorg.conf --- http://pastebin.com/FsMJB52Y [02:55] foxmulder881, and i am currently trying to learn linux [02:55] juan_, how do you "add/remove" software in the version of ubuntu that you have? I typically go to "Add/Remove Applications" then search for "mp3" and then install "ubuntu restricted extras" package [02:55] nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio anyone know how to get this working? [02:55] Every time I go to a Flash-enabled page, my browser will crash. [02:55] phong_; so definately use Windows as your host and just have Linux as your guest(s). [02:56] tucemiux_, I set a folder to shared using the GUI, when I browse to it from the client and attempt to open/mount it, it says "Unable to mount location. Failed to mount windows share" [02:56] phong_: ive been playing around with linux for about a month, and im loving it. [02:56] phong_; especially considering you're only still learning! [02:56] tank is it easy to learn? [02:56] in my humble opinion linux should be the guest as there is a crapton more support for windows-based virtual machines right now. However the best idea is dual boot. [02:56] phong_; yep. I recommend you learn the command line also. Valuable knowledge. [02:56] try xenserver free [02:57] phong_ ubuntu is a great start, but if you want to have a crash course, use archlinux for at least a day [02:57] dayrot, you are sharing the ntfs drive in ubuntu and attempting to access from another machine using ubuntu? [02:57] is LFS still around? [02:57] im running xubuntu on this netbook im using [02:57] tucemiux_, Correct. [02:57] 请问我的触摸板在xp下认出来是PS/2 Compatible Mouse，但是在linux下却不能用 [02:57] TANK: phong_: I learned the most about linux just doing a gentoo install [02:57] 有谁知道怎么解决么？ [02:57] falserunes: just pm ok, cause I have to work on a computer next to me THANKS [02:57] nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio anyone know how to get this working? [02:57] !zh [02:57] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:57] !cn | guo [02:57] guo: please see above [02:57] xxpor: howd that work out for ya? [02:58] falserunes: or make sure you msg to my nick in the channel so I see it :) [02:58] in my humble opinion, windows should never touch a hard drive, it runs too flaky, windows actually runs **faster** as a virtual machine within ubuntu [02:58] ok [02:58] foxmulder881, wow, i can't click on accept..i just did crtl+alt+del [02:58] Does anyone know of an application that will let me access databases on a SQL Server in Windows from Ubuntu? [02:58] sorry foxmulder881 [02:58] TANK: great. Ive done it 10 times now. I would still be using it on my desktop if it wasnt such a pain to get my wlan working [02:58] !sql [02:58] !sqlserver [02:58] lol root [02:58] hmm [02:59] dayrot, on the machine that has the ntfs drive, try creating a permanent mount for it [02:59] xxpor: wireless card? [02:59] TANK: yea [02:59] foxmulder881, is there a way to do like windows does ALT+TAB to switch to diff app. [02:59] phong_; never mind. I was just gonna let you know to email me if you have any dramas or need any help. foxmudler881@gmail.com [02:59] i mean whats yours? [02:59] on a side note, that has nothing to do with anything in this channel, whats a good programming channel? [02:59] OK. [02:59] oh okay. [02:59] TANK: some pos gigabyte thing from 10,000 years ago [02:59] ah. [02:59] phong_; email address should be foxmulder881@gmail.com [02:59] nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio anyone know how to get this working? [02:59] got it [02:59] atheros drivers are usually extremely easy to find if you ever upgrade [03:00] phong_; ALT+TAB should also work in Ubuntu. [03:00] _prong, alt+tab should work, u could also use the windows key+tab to get a different view if u have the extra effects enabled [03:00] hyuukai: are you sure you are not muted? what program are you trying to play sound with? [03:00] youtube on firefox [03:00] yeah, it works [03:00] hyuukai: is the video working? [03:00] do you have flash installed, Hyuukai? [03:00] dayrot, MountManger might be able to help using a gui, basically you need to crate a mount point and then create an entry in your /etc/fstab so that it gets mounted automatically at boot time [03:00] yeah it is [03:00] youtube is working fine [03:01] hyuukai: are you using 64-bit? [03:01] ive tried normal audio from vlc as well [03:01] I have a Acer Aspire running Ubuntu remix 10.04 and when I put it in suspend mode it locks up, same thing happens when I close the lid.. Does anyone have a insight on this? [03:01] no 32bit [03:01] hyuukai: are you using 10.04? [03:01] yes [03:01] hyuukai, I was having a similar problem with Flash in Firefox not playing sound. [03:01] hmmm [03:01] hyuukai: i have the same card and it worked out of the box. [03:01] phong_; good to hear. ;-) [03:01] hyuukai have you tried typing in a terminal "sudo killall pulseaudio"? [03:01] no shall i try it? [03:01] foxmulder881, installation of win 7 fail for vb [03:01] haha [03:02] tucemiux_, thanks for that, this uuid thing looks scary [03:02] hyuukai: try changing the plug that speakers are plugged into. sometimes it is a different port than windows. thats what happend to me [03:02] u can try. [03:02] foxmulder881, are there real 3d good games for linux? [03:02] foxmulder881, most are for windows i assume. [03:02] not the green port? :S [03:02] make sure you only have 1 audio driver selected. [03:02] phong_; not too sure mate. I use Windows for gaming. [03:02] Is there a place where I can get Flash 9 still for Firefox? [03:03] yes. [03:03] hyuukai: unfortunatly, it seems the defaults ar screwed up sometime [03:03] s [03:03] Jalexbrown* [03:03] tucemiux, i already installed thos already. i tried opening amarok but it keeps freezing on me. [03:03] hyuukai: try the killall first though === general is now known as Guest52123 [03:03] killall? [03:03] dayrot, the UUID is quite easy, actually, first find where the ntfs partition is, then get the uuid, sudo blkid, i believe, then use the UUID in your /etc/fstab [03:03] yes [03:03] hyuukai: "sudo killall pulseaudio" [03:03] gothicsatan187: All I've been able to find is Flash 10, and my laptop with 10.04 and Firefox is hating Flash 10. [03:03] Hello, I've noticed the past few months that when using Update Manager in Hardy, the package libsoup2.4-1 does not want to update. I thought I might be missing a dependency, so I did a search on it and found a few places to download all the package files again. Is it possible I need libsoup2.4-dev? [03:04] nothing came up in terminal? [03:04] So one would use the uuid instead of sdb or whatnot? [03:04] hyuukai cause it killed it all.. try to hear sound now [03:04] lol [03:04] nope [03:04] i got a crackle when i put it in mic port [03:04] juan_, amarok freezes on you?!? try opening amarok in a command line and see what error you get when it freezes [03:04] ABBADON: no, usually the -dev packages are for people who want to write software that links agaist the package [03:04] check all volume levels [03:04] Can somebody help me set up an sftp-only ssh server with ChrootDirectory enabled? I have got everything else working except that directive and unless I messed up the command somehow, the permissions on the to-be-chrooted directory are correct [03:04] phong_; why don't you dual-boot? It may be easier than using virtualized environments for you. [03:04] juan_, actually, first kill all amarok processes: ps aux|grep amarok; killall amarok [03:05] okay. [03:05] which to install first? [03:05] tucemiux, right. i got it working let me see if i can use my ipod. [03:05] i have windows now [03:05] hyuukai: yes, all of the volume levels, make sure you expand volume manager to include all possible things [03:05] and i have 2 HD...is it posible to have ubuntu boot on it's own disk? [03:05] phong_; Install Windows first and then Ubuntu and it should detect Windows and install the grub boot loader giving you the option of which to boot upon startup. [03:05] windows is on it's own [03:05] everything in sound preferences is up [03:06] foxmulder881, i dont want it boot load to windows HD [03:06] phong_; Just don't wipe over Windows! [03:06] assume i have no window HD [03:06] !ask| phong_ [03:06] phong_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:06] tucemiux, it's working. can u edit everything on here like on itunes? [03:06] how can i check its actually finding my soundcard and it SHOULD be working? [03:06] phong_; that's how you dual-bootl [03:06] boot. [03:06] juan_, what's "itunes"? [03:07] foxmulder881, i got ur point, but is there always to install it on and boot on a seperate HD ? [03:07] hyuukai: open gnome-volume-control [03:07] Can somebody help me set up an sftp-only ssh server with ChrootDirectory enabled? I have got everything else working except that directive and unless I messed up the command somehow, the permissions on the to-be-chrooted directory are correct [03:07] xxpor: Ok, so just when I re-download it, just go ahead and get the non-dev packages and it should take it off the list of updates then? [03:07] yep [03:07] hyuukai: go to the "hardware" tab [03:07] phong_; you could install them on separate hdds. [03:07] foxmulder881, worst is i will choose the HD boot up at bios [03:07] ABBADON: correct [03:07] nothing in there... [03:07] hyuukai: thats your issue then [03:07] tucemiux, the apple player for ipods made specifically for ipods. never mind. but can u edit everything on each song including ratings? [03:07] i was able to get the thumb drive to stop black screening by adding "nomodeset" to the launch options. after installation and into the reboot it's black screening again. f6 during boot doesn't bring up any launch options. how can i get into console or get some launch options on boot? [03:07] ... [03:08] sshdhelp, maybe someone in #ubuntu-offtopic might be able to help you but remember that channel is not a support channel [03:08] phong_; you'll learn as you go. But just backup any valuable data. [03:08] xxpor what is the problem then? [03:08] foxmulder881, i really want to choose to boot buy HD only..so it is better to install it and boot on it's own. even if i take the windows HD out [03:08] hyuukai: i dont know how to get it to detect it sorry :(. are there propritary drivers avalable? [03:08] tuxemiux thanks [03:08] i have no idea im a super noob [03:08] foxmulder881, i dont have any important files ;) [03:08] xxpor: Thank you, will do. [03:08] is it plugged in? how can i tell that has something come lose in the pc? :S [03:09] vinic: on an installed system, you put that option at the end of the kernel boot line in grub. hold shirt during boot, then hit "e" to edit the line [03:09] foxmulder881, normally i install ubuntu by unplug the power for the windows HD out [03:09] phong_; actually, it's easier to install side-by-side with grub. [03:09] ;) [03:09] juan_, i believe you can, if not then you can try other clients that will do it for you, like rhythmbox or whatever, just look around, the only reason i ever used amarok on my machine was to put songs on an ipod [03:09] hyuukai: go to the system menu, then one of the submenus should have a "hardware drivers" or something similar [03:09] phong_; but whatever is easier for you. [03:09] yep [03:09] tucemiux.ok thanks. [03:09] hyuukai: im not on gnome so i dont remeber the exact sequence [03:09] are you there? [03:09] maco: thanks [03:10] foxmulder881, 1 thing i like about ubuntu is that it copies files process are faster then windows [03:10] xxpor ok has come up with accelerated graphics driver... [03:10] foxmulder881, i copy a 1 gb file less time then windows [03:10] hyuukai: thats it? [03:10] thats a graphics driver nothing to do with sound? [03:10] phong_; yeah filesystems in linux are much better than Windows' ntfs. [03:10] juan_, if you type the first few letters of someone's nick name, then hit tab maybe your chat client will complete the rest of the nick, if that happens when your post will be red on my chat client [03:10] hyuukai: yea, nothing to do with sound :( [03:11] tucemiux_, Ok, rebooting, hopefully I didn't screw it up ;) [03:11] and to copy like a 4gb files take short time then windows copying process ;) [03:11] hyuukai: i'm out of ideas, sorry. try googling for your sound card + ubuntu [03:11] foxmulder881, however learning ubuntu is kind of hard ;) [03:11] phong_; and they don't require stupid bloody defragging like Windows! [03:11] the way i got the name of the sound was doing some sort of list. [03:11] hi, is there anyone that can help me figure out why i can't connect to my ubuntu from windows using ssh? [03:11] and yeah ive tried that... [03:11] hyuukai: sorry :( [03:11] phong_; it's not hard. It's probably just different to what you're used to. [03:11] ola@ [03:11] foxmulder881, yeah, when i'm in windows...i saw my HD light keep on flashing..working all day [03:11] man this is sad times :( [03:11] testsvn: ssh port is closed by the firewall by defult [03:12] dayrot dawn he left, you didnt have to reboot, this is not windows O_o [03:12] testsvn: is sshd running? [03:12] phong_; how much ram do you have? [03:12] 4GB [03:12] trism: here is what I have: http://typewith.me/EEqNOzaw2S but I reloaded the page, and the font smoothing is still there. [03:12] what would be the command to make links for every file matching a pattern to a filename using a capture from that pattern? [03:12] it should be in hardware in sound properties? [03:12] how can i check if ssh is running? [03:12] testsvn, can you describe the problem, all in onel ine? [03:12] phong_; even Windows should not be thrashing the hdd like you describe with 4gb ram. [03:12] Anyone have a fix for a black screen when I try to VNC to my machine? [03:12] phong_; oh well. [03:12] foxmulder881, 4GB originally ihave 6GB tooke 1 out fro my bro comp [03:13] phong_; fair enough. [03:13] hyuukai: yea [03:13] foxmulder881, i found that diskeeper is keep on scanning [03:13] i hate diskeeper [03:13] tucemiux_, oh ok sorry about that. thanks i got it working now. does it take a will for ur music to load on? [03:13] so its not detecting the sound card? [03:13] phong_; oh yeah, that'll do it. [03:13] hyuukai: correct [03:13] so i kill diskeeper [03:13] haha [03:14] hyuukai: or it doesnt have a driver [03:14] or if no fix for the VNC black screen, are there any other ways beside SSH to remote to ubuntu from windows? [03:14] specifically, I'm trying to make links for every file in my working directory of the form lib51.so at the location lua/5.1/.so [03:14] phong_; I no longer use diskeeper. Just defrag every now and then with Auslogics Disk Defrag. [03:14] phong_; it's much quicker and better. [03:15] DeliriumTremens; use putty. [03:15] juan_, does it take a who for the music to load? i didnt understand your question [03:15] .. [03:15] tucemiux_, oh sorry a long time? oh and i found that mount point also. [03:16] juan_; where was the mount point? [03:16] tucemiux_, ok, now we are getting somewhere. It gave me an error about not being the owner. [03:16] foxmulder881: I use putty to SSH into my machine, but what if I want to use things other than the terminal [03:16] tucemiux_, i think i found out my first problem, i don't know if i really installed a ssh [03:16] DeliriumTremens; fair enough. [03:16] xxpor :( [03:16] hey, so my laptop has a vga output port, and "xrandr" fails to turn on the external vga port ----- so is there anything else i can try to get it to work? my "fn" key is broken [03:17] hyuukai: I know, getting hardware working is one of the most difficult things with linux [03:17] testsvn, you need to configure and install ssh server and ssh client [03:17] :( :( [03:17] foxmulder881, here /home/juan/.gvfs/Juan/iTunes_Control/Music [03:17] its not that old a mobo though [03:17] runs quad core [03:17] screensaver doesnt start when idle [03:17] gogeta, where is the config for firewall to let ssh pass? [03:17] !firewall [03:17] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [03:17] juan_; ok. Was just curious, that's all. ;-) [03:18] hyuukai: I would try searching/posting on ubuntuforums [03:18] dayrot, did you configure your /etc/fstab manually?? you dont have to reboot when you make changes to your /etc/fstab [03:18] foxmulder881, no problem [03:18] ive searched [03:18] then post ;) lol [03:18] tucemiux, ok, didn't know that, came from windows so i pretty much reboot after everything [03:18] tucemiux_, is ssh server installed by default in ubuntu? [03:19] testsvn: No, you need to install it afterwards [03:19] nope. [03:19] i have no idea what to add to these boot options to stop the blank screening [03:19] dayrot: you're going to have to get used to not having to reboot so often. sorry :) [03:19] testsvn; yes it is. [03:19] testsvn: (sudo apt-get install openssh-server) [03:19] Anyone? How do I turn off font smoothing in Firefox? It ignores OS settings, here is my .fonts.conf: http://typewith.me/EEqNOzaw2S [03:19] dayrot; you should only ever have to reboot after a kernel update/upgrade. [03:20] xxpor any short way to tell me what things require a reboot and what doesn't? [03:20] nvm [03:20] lol [03:20] lol, thanks [03:20] testsvn, on ubuntu server it is, if you chose ssh server, otherwise most likely it is not [03:21] dayrot; or something that intergrates into the system-boot process somehow. [03:21] tucemiux_; I thought it was installed out-of-the-box on desktop also? Correct me if I'm wrong. [03:21] foxmulder881: No, it's not [03:22] Flannel, i have just installed the server, how do i know its running? [03:22] Flannel; ok thanks for the correction., [03:22] . [03:22] screensaver doesnt start when idle [03:22] foxmulder881, the ssh client ***maybe*** but definetely not the server [03:23] testsvn: It runs by default :) If you want to verify (besides trying to use it), `ps aux | grep sshd` should show you it running [03:23] tucemiux_; perhaps I was getting confused. [03:23] tucemiux_, foxmulder881: client is installed by default [03:23] Hello friends, is there some bootable sys CD to run bootable OS from .iso from HDD source? [03:23] testsvn: i just installed it as well, and at least for openssh, it started automaticly [03:23] DeliriumTremens: I was looking at NX Technology. Haven't tried it yet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_technology [03:23] Flannel, cool, now if i want to connect to it from my windows machine, i configure my router to port forward 22 on my ip address of ubuntu [03:24] testsvn: Is your windows machine inside the same LAN as your Ubuntu machine? [03:24] tucemiux_, Success! Created the permanent mount, changed the smb.conf and it works now! Thanks a lot! :) [03:24] testsvn: if you want to access it from outside your router, yes [03:24] Flannel, ya, is that a problem :( ? [03:24] dayrot; good work mate! [03:24] Thanks! [03:24] foxmulder881, there's your answer, the ssh **client** is installed by default, so you can use the ssh client to connect to any ssh server, if you want to host a server you have to install the ssh server AND configure it [03:24] testsvn: No, it means you don't need to port forward if you don't want to. Only if you want to connect from "the outside world" [03:24] dayrot, youre welcome [03:25] testsvn: Another thing you should look into is setting a static IP on your server, since it makes finding your server easier ;) [03:25] how can i get to a terminal on boot [03:25] See you guys later! [03:25] Flannel, i got dyndns service for that [03:25] so, the network I'm connecting through blocks damn near everything. bypass proxies used to be the answer, but now that only lets me through about 25% of the time. a) how does that even happen? b) is there a solution? [03:25] foxmulder881, is there away u can connect to my ubuntu and help me out? [03:25] Hello? [03:25] testsvn: That's for your external IP. But your internal IP would change too (192.168.0.104 could be today, could be .106 tomorrow) [03:26] foxmulder881, some sort of remote access...i'll let u control [03:26] testsvn, you have your ssh installed and **configured** ?? [03:26] Flannel, true true [03:26] Hello is Code Brainzed here i need him to give me that code that fixed my sound [03:26] tucemiux_, server is installed, didn't do anything to configure, in my ufw firewall i let ssh allow incoming [03:26] testsvn: So, internal IP static (which you set through your interfaces file, I can give you more documentation if you'd like) makes it easier to find (and basically without it, port forwarding is only useful for a few days, then you have to fiddle with your router again) [03:27] tucemiux_, testsvn: you don't need to do any configuration by default [03:27] Yeah, you'll have to enable rdp access for the outside world. [03:27] Flannel, cool, now to test if i did it right, on my windows, i open putty and just put my ip [03:27] if u show me and show me what port to open in router [03:27] then i let u [03:28] Flannel: some routers (like mine) support fowarding by host name, so even if the ip changes, it doesnt matter [03:28] phong_; what exactly do you need help with? [03:28] i want to get vmware to work [03:28] Flannel, testsvn by default I have seen root login allowed and I think blank passwords as well, cant remember. O_o [03:28] i have trouble with vb ;) [03:28] testsvn: Your LAN IP (192.168.*) if you want to test that SSH is running, your external IP (or your dyndns thing) if you want to test port forwarding, etc. [03:28] Has anyone found an ubuntu/Debian app to open OLE2 compound documents such as those from M$ publisher? [03:28] it works before with ubuntu 9.1 [03:28] once i upgrade it wont work [03:28] phong_; do you know of TeamViewer? [03:28] Flannel, cool :) it worked, i have the "login as:" , now i'm gonna try and see if my svn server works [03:29] not a clue [03:29] just tell me what i should do [03:29] phong_; hold on a second.

It ignores OS settings, here is my .fonts.conf: http://typewith.me/EEqNOzaw2S I reloaded a page, no effect. smoothing is difficult to read [03:30] 64 [03:30] tucemiux_: Looks like by default root is enabled (although the account is locked, so it's not a big issue) and blank passwords aren't allowed [03:30] phong_; hold on. [03:30] phong_; http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb [03:30] Can any 1 here help me with my sound on my usb headset there is no audio [03:30] ok [03:30] Flannel, i've already installed Apache2 with mod-security and ssl, configured it and now i'm gonna try and see if i did it right [03:30] phong_; download and install that ^^ [03:30] anyone any ideas why ubuntu is not detecting my sound card in hardware on sound properties?

[03:33] edbian: see nome-art.org [03:33] testsvn: the apache access works. I haven't tried any of the other methods. Also, I personally don't like putting the repositories in /home/svn but that's not significant ;) [03:33] gnomeart.org [03:33] iz all good [03:33] art.gnome.org?

It's entirely normal to reinstall at least a couple of times ;) [03:34] phong_; run it from your apps menu. [03:34] Flannel, have u ever connected to your svn with turtoise on windows?

The instructions in the howto aren't helping. Can someone help me? [03:47] sound knob on keyboard not working after update. anybody? [03:47] Gryllida: do you mean the fonts when a website is rendered or the firefox UI fonts [03:47] ok, makes sense for e-mail server [03:47] Owner: why would you make a bootable cd to boot from an iso? why not burn the iso [03:48] Flannel, it worked, i was able to commit a file, but how come i don't see it in my ubuntu machine? [03:48] foxmulder881, pm me if u want to say something so that i know u're chatting to me [03:48] phong_; failed to compile vmci seems to be the main issue. [03:48] xxpor, forexample if I have large ISO than DVD size [03:48] Idle what do i do [03:49] i am looking thro the logs [03:49] trex: both [03:49] Ubuntu: use ctrl+f [03:49] thune3: Can it play Mp3 files? [03:49] Gryllida: idk if this helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=423866 [03:49] trex: both Fx gui and webpage fonts ignore the OS settings [03:49] phong_; try your password again. [03:49] Gryllida: install ur video driver [03:49] ok. since my last update screwed up the volume knob on my keyboard, how can i determine and uninstall it. using Karmic [03:50] testsvn: What do you mean? Where are you looking? [03:50] Gothicsatan187: whatwhat? some video driver? why? the fonts work fine elsewhere in the OS [03:50] under my home/svn/ [03:50] Flannel, under my home/svn/ [03:50] thune3: I tried a WAV file with paplay and it said: Connection failure: Connection refused [03:50] phong_; hang on a second. [03:50] anyone here know about Xorg in Lucid? [03:50] okay [03:50] anybody? [03:50] brwarner: are you trying to do this on a local machine or across a network [03:50] testsvn: SVN stuff is stored in database like things, there won't be a file laying about on the filesystem [03:50] thune3: I'm running it right from the server computer [03:51] trex: No, this thread suggests to install new fonts, but I just want to make these ones be not smooth as they are in the whole OS. Firefox simply ignores the preferences that I set though. [03:51] Flannel, really, so where is it stored? [03:51] thune3: And play on that computer, so local [03:51] Big_Mig: try the forums if noone knows here [03:51] trex: I do NOT want to install new fonts [03:51] Gryllida: DPI settings are sometimes determined by the video driver, depending on the app, installing the correct driver, and configuring it might work. [03:51] thanks, xxpor thought for sure somebody would know [03:51] phong_; solutions seems to be here... http://blog.gnu-designs.com/solved-building-vmware-workstation-modules-on-linux-2-6-32 [03:52] phong_; you see that? [03:52] Flannel, hmmm i do see a file .db in a subfolder of the svn, maybe it is stored there? [03:52] ok i'll follow that [03:52] foxmulder881, i'll follow that okay? [03:53] phong_; yeah try that. [03:53] foxmulder881, stay connect please [03:53] Gryllida: I told you if you want to turn off the smoothing you need to set antialiasing to false [03:53] Gryllida: im not sure, have you tried to restart ff after you adjusted the settings you're talking about? websites define what fonts they use, i'm not sure how to override this, firebug? [03:53] foxmulder881, dont get out of remote..stay connect with me ;) [03:53] ya [03:53] i cant find it [03:53] phong_; I have to go now mate. Email me and let me know how you got and if it fails, we'll do another TV session and see what we can come up with. Cheers for now. Good luck, [03:53] . [03:53] DeliriumTremens: One thing: the first time I ever tried to vnc into my machine I got a black screen because i forgot i'd set it so that i had to 'accept' the connection on the server side. Once I realized that and accepted it I was off and running. [03:53] ok foxmulder881 [03:53] thanks === Gothicsatan187 is now known as Gothicsatan|AFK [03:54] alright so i have this dvb-c usb tuner [03:54] and i ran w_scan and it finished [03:54] does this command work in Lucid? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:54] Flannel, why do we install apache for the svn? [03:54] but i have no idea where the channels.conf file is [03:54] can someone help me with my ICS problem? It won't allow me to set up a share between my Ubuntu computer and Roku set-top box [03:54] testsvn: I believe it's stored in a few places. But its not terribly important, so I wouldn't worry yourself with it. If youwanted to know how all those files worked, there's documentation on the web [03:54] foxmulder881, have a good day... [03:54] foxmulder881, thanks u're nice [03:54] brb [03:55] Who here has had there chat open for atleast 2 days [03:55] testsvn: Because it's easier to just communicate over apache most of the time, and it gives you the benefit of being able to browse your repository files over the web, *and* it decouples the authorization process from your users [03:55] Who here has had there chat open for atleast 2 days [03:56] say in Lucid my mouse cursor slightly flickers and disappears when moving it around on the dekstop, anyway to fix this?

[03:59] ESC key? [03:59] trism: ok, works now. [03:59] jdsbluedevl, there is a wizard tools for firestarter [04:00] wildbat: again, I tried that [04:00] bahadunn, hmm, you can access it before but, but I don't think durning boot [04:00] Ubuntu: the chats are logged and available for review [04:00] jdsbluedevl, you have to manually pull up the LAN side thou [04:00] Ubuntu: publicly [04:00] it says "device eth3 is not ready" [04:00] Ubuntu: you are looking for the logs [04:00] shane2peru_lapto: well during the boot process [04:00] !logs [04:00] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [04:00] wildbat: ok, how?

[04:01] wildbat: ok, so I typed in ifconfig. What next? [04:01] jdsbluedevl, say eth0 is the LAN side, you do : sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 [04:02] need help with my virtual box please [04:02] bahadunn, or press an arrow key up or down and that should stop the seconds from ticking down. [04:02] licquor: what's up? [04:02] wildbat: ok, next? [04:02] jdsbluedevl, then start the firestarter [04:02] !software-development [04:02] !consultancy [04:02] wildbat: same problem [04:02] !sales [04:02] moreover, ifconfig shows eth2, Firestarter shows eth3 [04:02] switchgirl: Can we help you? [04:02] oh, hold on a sec [04:03] Izinucs: when i open the browser in the vb it wont max [04:03] Can scp use wildcards? like scp /home/user/.something/* user2@IP:/home/user2/.something/ ?? [04:03] wildbat: it's saying eth3 isn't ready, but there is no eth3 listed under Network, just eth0 and eth2 [04:03] Izinucs,:the vb will but not the windows [04:03] Flannel, i need a company to develop software for me to sell to public sector [04:03] licquor: have you installed the guest additions?

[04:04] wildbat: you mean wizard? [04:04] Izinucs, you may have to use -r option for recursive, if you want to cpy folders [04:04] shane2peru_lapto: wouldnt it be a function of the shell, not the program itself? [04:04] shane2peru_lapto: ok.. tried with -R but I'll try again with -r [04:04] wildbat: wizard lets me select eth2 as LAN device, but when I try to start, it keeps looking for eth3 [04:04] jdsbluedevl, firestarter got a wizard for jumpstarting it [04:04] Izinucs, man scp will give you all the options [04:04] anyone know where i can look? [04:05] xxpor, I'm not for sure, just know I have done that before. [04:05] licquor: in the main vm box you have open at the top left there are three drop down menus.. one will say "Install guest additions".. cliick that [04:05] switchgirl: Alright. You might try #ubuntu-offtopic, but I'm not sure that'd get you a lot of leads. This channel wouldn't though [04:05] switchgirl, look for what? [04:05] jdsbluedevl, ... hmm ~ [04:05] hmm [04:06] switchgirl, I scrolled back, don't have a clue. [04:06] wildbat: purging and reinstalling firestarter, maybe there's something the config files that it doesn't like [04:06] jdsbluedevl, ok, good luck [04:07] good night all [04:07] Izinucs, i dont see it i did b4 tho how can i get it back [04:07] jdsbluedevl, doesn't ubuntu come with ufw now? pre-installed?

[04:16] ZenMasta: thats a fat32 problem [04:17] oh wait, iso is not over 2gb, whoops [04:17] <-- crazy [04:17] Docteh okay so how do I get around this? [04:17] Docteh yeah it is a DVD about 5gb [04:17] use fat16 ;) [04:17] vishaltelangre, give openshot a try [04:17] oh, use ntfs or format the drive with a bigger block size [04:17] vishaltelangre, sudo apt-get install openshot [04:18] Docteh just use gparted? [04:18] Can any 1 give me the dirict link to the chat logs of june 8 pls [04:18] vishaltelangre, or pitivi is another option, both a little buggy, but decent apps [04:18] not the log page [04:18] ZenMasta: I'm not sure if it'll format fat32 properly [04:18] but the log of june 8 [04:18] stupid bot [04:18] Ubuntu: cant you find it yourself? you have faster internet than i do [04:18] shane2peru_lapto, shane2peru_lapto, it does, I'm having nokia 2700c... Pitivi not have option to convert videos for my mobile phone? [04:19] it is very confusing [04:19] i dont care what format really for this task. Just trying to use unetbootin to boot from a dvd iso [04:19] ZenMasta: see if it'll format ntfs then [04:19] vishaltelangre, openshot does I couldn't remember which had it, both have options, simple conversion [04:19] jdsbluedevl you have two network cards? [04:19] coolmadmax: yes, two network cards [04:19] Docteh: okay I'll do that and see if i can make the bootable flash key [04:19] Ubuntu: click 2010, then 06 or june, then 8th [04:19] thanks:P [04:20] shane2peru_lapto, Previously I convert my videos on windows using nokia pc suit or using AVS converter (cracked!) [04:20] ty [04:20] I'm trying to install a SATA hard drive with a PCI adapter [04:20] should i be looking for the drive in lshw? [04:20] ZenMasta: hopefully it works, unetbootin failed me when i tried it ;) [04:20] jdsbluedevl on-board and pci? [04:20] turtle-man, It should show up there. lshw "lists hardware" [04:20] shane2peru_lapto, Okay I'll try it... Suggest else others that you know... [04:20] ya but then there is big list of files [04:20] Docteh i've used it before on regular cd iso's and it worked fine. Just never tried with a dvd iso yet [04:20] coolmadmax: both are PCI [04:21] edbian: and if it doesn't? where should i start looking for problems? [04:21] jdsbluedevl ok [04:21] sweet [04:21] turtle-man, You could make double sure by running sudo lshw -C disk [04:21] vishaltelangre, hmm, I never did videos till I started with Linux, kdenlive is ok, but I don't know that it has options like openshot, if all else fails ffmpeg on command line is pretty simple, and once you get the options down, should be simple [04:21] turtle-man, which is obvious... [04:21] wchich one is active? [04:22] Docteh there in only a big list of files [04:22] sweet :D it's there [04:22] i serched almost all them [04:22] turtle-man, good [04:22] with a text sercher [04:22] i just expected this whole thing to go poorly [04:22] vishaltelangre, I use ffmpeg for dvd like this ffmpeg -i infile.anything.avi -target dvd-ntsc newvideo.mpg [04:22] turtle-man, Now, does it show up in sudo fdisk -l ? [04:22] Ubuntu: what are you searching for [04:22] shane2peru_lapto, I tried w/ ffmpeg (yeah in text mode though) but not get succeed yet.. Anyway thanks... Cheers! [04:22] how do i know which xwindows i am running? i have a clean install of 10.4 [04:22] what would cause the problem where ubuntu 9.04 can see my wireless card and connect to the net yet after upgrading to 9.10 it sees the net connection but won't connect? [04:23] vishaltelangre, no prob [04:23] the logs of june 8 [04:23] Ubuntu: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/06/08/%23ubuntu.txt [04:23] edbian: what does fdisk do? [04:23] jdsbluedevl which one is active? [04:23] thats here [04:23] coolmadmax: eth0 [04:23] omgh [04:23] omg [04:23] THANK U [04:23] I cant burn a DVD iso with brasero it just tells me to replace the disk with a supported one. [04:23] shane2peru_lapto, mp4 videos are mpeg, but mine mobile supports only mp4 which are exactly made for it! :) [04:23] turtle-man, It's a command line utility to partition drives. fdisk -l just lists all of them. It will show us if the system sees your device as a harddrive and is using it as such. [04:24] edbian: okay, because the drive is already formated to ext3. it was in one of my other computers. I'll try said command :P [04:25] jdsbluedevl make active eth2 [04:25] vishaltelangre, ffmpeg -i file.to.convert.flv newfile.mp4 perhaps?? You can resize it too a smaller format too, but that is roughly it. [04:25] turtle-man, I don't want to format it either. It is a good idea because it will show that the system recognizes it as a HDD [04:25] edbian: the guy that fixed my pc had to install linux using VM ware on another computer [04:25] coolmadmax: how do I do that? [04:25] bricky, wow [04:25] bricky, serious business [04:25] edbian: LOL [04:25] yup... sdc1 shows up [04:25] jdsbluedevl System-Administration-Network make active eth2 [04:25] edbian: next step is mounting? [04:25] ebdian: i was going to ask you where my ubuntu dir is [04:25] but nvm lol :) [04:25] Anybody have any ideas? [04:25] shane2peru_lapto, Okay I'll try... Thanks again! [04:26] turtle-man, yes. Did it show up there? [04:26] coolmadmax: how do I make it active? [04:26] coolmadmax: there is no option [04:26] edbian: sure did. sdc1 [04:26] edbian: thats also why it didnt detect broadcom [04:26] turtle-man, Does it show up in places -> computer? [04:26] bricky, oooohh! :) [04:26] Anyone know of a download manager type app that could say, grab all .pdf links from a page and download them? [04:26] jdsbluedevl, sudo ifconfig eth2 up [04:26] edbian: I'm actually using crunchbang 9.04 :P [04:27] rafaelsoaresbr: how will I know if it's up? [04:27] question: is there a list somewhere of tablets that will be supported by the tablet flavour of ubuntu? [04:27] Why does ubuntu Think my dvd drive is connected via SCISI [04:27] jdsbluedevl, ifconfig /all [04:27] turtle-man, awesome! :) Do you not have places -> computer? [04:27] jdsbluedevl go to System after that Administration then Network and you have option to make active eth2 [04:27] coolmadmax: no, I don't [04:28] turtle-man, then you need to PM me and we can finish but I don't want to clog up the ubuntu channel with it. [04:28] edbian: not that has a list of drives... i've mounted sdb1 to media/disk/ [04:28] vishaltelangre, no prob, man ffmpeg in the terminal will give you all the options for ffmpeg [04:28] turtle-man, Then you're done! ? [04:28] how do i access my router ip [04:28] rafaelsoaresbr: it's giving me an "error fetching interface information: Device not found" [04:28] how do I run a process in a new terminal from a bash script? [04:28] i mean the http://192.168.1.1 does work sometimes but not always [04:29] yesterday i did access my router but today i am not able to [04:29] odd [04:29] what setting do i have to change in firefox [04:29] jdsbluedevl, should't it be eth1? [04:29] coolmadmax: I'm not seeing an option to make eth2 active [04:29] anyideas [04:29] christ__: its ip address shouldn't change [04:29] anyone worked on RAC setup in linux with oracle 11 G ? [04:29] rafelsoaresbr: somehow, it became eth2 [04:29] can you ping it? [04:30] can anyone tell me why my *.deb package installer is showing previous versions of a package that i am trying to install as being in conflict? it used to install right over the old versions. [04:30] stanley_robertso, maybe someone in #ubuntu-offtopic might have? [04:30] Docteh: That is rt.. I did not change the ip [04:30] shane2peru_lapto, ffmpeg -i One_Less_Lonely_Girl.avi newfile.mp4 gives me no such file or directory [04:30] Docteh: [04:30] coolmadmax: am I just supposed to pull up eth2 under "Network device" and it somehow magically becomes active? [04:30] Docteh: Yesterday some pop up window came [04:30] im reading this guide, but i cant get synergy (client) to run at startup: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto [04:31] Docteh: There is no pop up window today... cant actually figure it out [04:31] jdsbluedevl no [04:31] vishaltelangre, you have to be in the same directory as the avi file, or include the full path. [04:31] coolmadmax: then how do I make it active? Network Tools isn't giving me that option, unless it's hidden somewhere [04:31] jdsbluedevl, does ifconfig /all list 'eth2'? [04:31] shane2peru_lapto, sorry typo mistaken! [04:31] rafaelsoaresbr: I told you, it's giving me an error of "Device not found" [04:32] jdsbluedevl: dhclient [04:32] vishaltelangre, if you type the first few letters then hit tab, it should auto-complete the rest, without typos. :) [04:32] sikihava, maybe it's because youre tryin to install dependencies that you already have? And the dependencies that you already have are newer? But what's the error messasge that youre getting? [04:32] christ__: could try power cycling the router [04:32] rafaelsoaresbr: ok, what next? === Gothicsatan|AFK is now known as Gothicsatan [04:32] Docteh: what is that.. i did not understand [04:32] shane2peru_lapto, Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1 [04:32] jdsbluedevl run in terminal system-config-network [04:32] router go off, router go on [04:33] coolmadmax: command not found [04:33] jdsbluedevl, avi to mp4 gives me above error! [04:33] vishaltelangre, hmm, perhaps ffmpeg doesn't like mp4, I'm pretty sure openshot should be able to do that. [04:33] tucemiux: just saying that the old virtualbox version is in conflict when i try to isntall the new version. but this seems to be happening with other *.deb packages, too [04:33] cornernote: did you follow the gdm suggestion but with synergyc instead of synergys? [04:34] <`Agentul^007> some girls on here: P? [04:34] shane2peru_lapto, okay... Thanks...! [04:34] just "synergy" is a gui iirc [04:34] can someone help ssh into my server? i'm locked out for some reason... it was working a few weeks ago. [04:34] i can login through the web console to administer it [04:34] vishaltelangre, no problem [04:35] coolmadmax: where is system-config-network? Was it somehow taken out of Lucid? [04:35] mib_mib_: what kind of problem, times out, connection refused or it just doesn't like your password? [04:35] `Agentul^007, no one girl is here, have a nice day, bye! Look at forum's topic... [04:35] rafaelsoaresbr: what next? [04:35] sikihava, what is the actual error that you are getting when attempting to install the actual *.deb package ? [04:35] is there a dedicated channel for ubuntu server 10.04? [04:36] jdsbluedevl, can you pastebin the output of 'ifconfig /all'? === Professor_Generi is now known as Pokeruler [04:36] sorry tucemiux. i already fixed the probably manually and i don't remember the exact error. just that the package was inc onflict w/ a previous verison. [04:36] Docteh: it just times out, doesn't even say anything back to me [04:36] I can give it to you right here: "/all: eroor fetching interface information: Device not found" [04:36] rafaelsoaresbr: I can give it to you right here: "/all: eroor fetching interface information: Device not found" [04:36] *error [04:36] mib_mib_: are you sshing to right hostname, also check firewall/port forwards [04:36] mib_mib_: is a web console a command line? [04:37] rafaelsoaresbr: that's it [04:37] Docteh: yeah, i added the port to my local router to allow the proper ssh port. I can ssh on a different port to a different server fine. I turned the firewall off on the server [04:37] does anyone know for sure that cdrtools (aka cdrecord) will take an ISO image and 'burn' it to a USB Disk? [04:37] jdsbluedevl, so, type only ifconfig [04:38] rafaelsoaresbr: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/447560/ [04:39] rafaelsoaresbr: eth2:avahi was my attempt at doing the manual instructions per the howto page [04:39] mib_mib_: is the server in question on a home internet connection? my isp blocks incoming to port 22 [04:39] guys? [04:39] jdsbluedevl look you can open network connections [04:39] Docteh: nah its slicehost [04:39] im running 9.10 w/ all latest updates and mplayer installed, tried a fresh install of 10.04 but sleep/hibernation crashes the box. Was wondering if I could get any video acceleration. I have an amd athlon 5500+x2 proc, 2gb ram, radeon hd3200 integrated gpu [04:39] what's the reason of most of ircds failing on ubuntu 10.04? [04:39] coolmadmax: that's Preferences, not Administration [04:40] coolmadmax: and no, there is no eth2 entry in Network Connections [04:40] Docteh: on my belkin router it asks for inbound port, private ip address and private port -- the open port on my server is 8787, does this mean i put 8787 in both inbound port and private port? [04:40] helloo [04:40] . [04:40] Docteh: or do i use 22 on private port and 8787 on inbound port? [04:41] Coded1: Install the ATI Drivers under 'System>Administration>Hardware Devices' [04:41] Gothicsatan, done already [04:41] Coded1: what's it say/do? [04:41] mib_mib_: if you cant ssh in to your slice, and you can get on IRC from behind your router, probably dont have to worry about the router [04:42] hello [04:42] <_jesse_> Hi all, I'm following the directions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs but I get stuck on sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh since that file doesn't exist [04:42] <_jesse_> I'm running 10.04 [04:42] jdsbluedevl can you see eth2 inside network tools - network device [04:42] 720p mkv / h264 runs like garbage, says driver is activated and in use [04:42] coolmadmax: yes, I can see that [04:42] coolmadmax: but it isn't showing up in Network Connections [04:42] <_jesse_> is there anywhere else I can find this file? [04:43] Docteh: okay, when i use the -vv option for ssh it says connection refused [04:43] _jesse_ google [04:43] <_jesse_> Gothicsatan: tried that already [04:43] jdsbluedevl, sorry, what exactly are you trying to do? [04:43] anybody? [04:43] mib_mib_: do netstat -ntpl on the slice and see what port sshd is listening on [04:43] rafaelsoaresbr: I'm trying to set up an ICS, but it's all FUBARed [04:44] rafaelsoaresbr: and the client is a Roku set-top box for streaming to TV [04:44] jdsbluedevl, okay, have you already established the connections? [04:44] hello [04:44] rafaelsoaresbr: hell if I know [04:44] how do i install java and flash on a new install of ubuntu? [04:45] !flash [04:45] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:45] Docteh: yeah its listening on the same port i'm trying to ssh into [04:45] _jesse_: you installed libdvdread4? [04:45] rafaelsoaresbr: I at least tried to do the server-side setup according to the manual instructions with iptables [04:45] Running Lucid 32 and having browser issues. Anyone know a solution the the FF java issue? Google is still turning up blank. [04:46] anyone know what canonical pays a software engineer on average? [04:46] Gothicsatan, is says in catalyst control center 2d Driver version : 8.66.10 [04:47] <_jesse_> thune3: I did [04:47] <_jesse_> thune3: the folder is there, but there is no .sh in it [04:47] is there "Super Grub Disk" in ubuntu I can install? [04:47] Gothicsatan, maybe try removing it and installing the one off ati.com? [04:47] jdsbluedevl, firestarter can automatically config an ICS, but I don't known if it would solve your problem. If I were you I would try. [04:47] rafaelsoaresbr: it didn't [04:47] quick question, how do i fix an issue i am having with my .deb file loader. when i try to install any .deb program when i click to install it the installition box to open it comes up but then disappears and never installs the program. why? [04:47] jdsbluedevl, you need to fire up the LAN setting first be4 you do the iptables [04:47] rafaelsoaresbr: in fact, it keeps insisting on trying to find eth3 [04:47] how do i install java and flash on a fresh install of ubuntu? [04:47] wildbat: ok, how? [04:48] is there "Super Grub Disk" in ubuntu I can install? [04:48] jdsbluedevl, ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.1 [04:48] jdsbluedevl, sudo may be [04:48] linux_is_my_hero, installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will install both flash and java [04:48] nico_: could be anything, run dpkg -i filename.deb and see what its problem it [04:48] eh... im in irssi, and for some reason alt-1 does not change the window... [04:49] jdsbluedevl, have your Roku do manually ip like 192.168.1.2 [04:49] zykotick9: I uninstalled firefox and only have google chrome [04:49] :-( [04:49] ... i can't go to act 2 :( [04:49] _jesse_: i've never done it that way before, i add medibuntu repository and install libdvdcss2 [04:49] jdsbluedevl, unless you wanna bother with dchp-server [04:49] mgamerz: are you using tabs? [04:49] try escape then 1 [04:49] wildbat: the Roku doesn't do anything manually [04:49] <_jesse_> thune3: I'll give that a try, thanks [04:49] linux_is_my_hero, so? ubuntu-restricted-extras will work with Chromium as well (possibly chrome but i'm not sure) [04:50] jdsbluedevl, you have to setup a dhcp-server then [04:50] wildbat: ok, how? [04:50] !dhcp | jdsbluedevl [04:50] jdsbluedevl: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [04:50] wow i didn't know about that ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage [04:50] no [04:50] it says Act: 1,2 (with 2 in white) [04:50] zykotick9: yeah it doesnt work with chrome. what is chromium? [04:50] AH! [04:50] it works [04:50] wildbat: oh, great. That doesn't help me one bit [04:50] linux_is_my_hero, chromium is the open source version of Chrome [04:50] thansk docteh [04:51] just what i needed [04:51] is there "Super Grub Disk" in ubuntu I can install? [04:51] !info chromium-browser | linux_is_my_hero [04:51] linux_is_my_hero: chromium-browser (source: chromium-browser): Chromium browser. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.0.375.38~r46659-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 (lucid), package size 11558 kB, installed size 38424 kB [04:52] ZykoticK9, is there "Super Grub Disk" in ubuntu I can install? [04:52] wildbat: I was able to get ICS working before, but somehow in the past 10 days it got FUBAR'd and I can't get it back to how it worked [04:52] Bigshot_, no idea man, good luck [04:52] is there some page or something that describes what generally happens with packages that come from debian to ubuntu? [04:52] jdsbluedevl, strane things is you got eth3.... [04:52] wildbat: yeah, how do I get rid of it? [04:53] jdsbluedevl, i will sugegst you do a grep on your /home/ for eth3 [04:53] jdsbluedevl, look for a small and easy-to-config dhcp server. [04:53] wildbat: ok, I'm looking back at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [04:53] <_jesse_> thune3: well I got the library's installed, but brasero is still complaining that it is missing them, any ideas? [04:54] wildbat: and I found the entry for eth3 [04:54] <_jesse_> thune3: says I'm missing libdvdcss.so.2 [04:54] wildbat: should I just remove the eth3 entry? [04:55] alright, i'm having an issue with ntfs and ubuntu 10.04. I installed windows 7 and now trying to install ubuntu 10.04 but its not seeing the ntfs partition I used for the windows installed. What am I missing [04:55] _jesse_: did you restart brasero? [04:55] Sivik, update grub [04:55] ok tried that and it is sayingno such file or directory [04:55] <_jesse_> thune3: yeah I restarted it [04:55] jdsbluedevl, hmmm can try but make backup [04:55] wildbat: yeah, already did [04:55] tucemiux, its not grub thats not seeing it, its the actual install of ubuntu 10.04. its not seeing a partition. It sees the partition table as empty [04:56] <_jesse_> thune3: do you think this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/134828 is still a problem? [04:56] wildbat: hmm, Firestarter still insists on finding eth3 [04:56] wildbat: ok, how do I do that grep thing again? [04:57] <_jesse_> thune3: and if so, where might I just throw a symlink (rather than compiling it myself) [04:57] has anyone seen the issue I am having? [04:57] _jesse_: that was because brasero used to look for libdvdcss.so instead of libdvdcss.so.2, but you should have .2 now [04:57] Sivik, i like to play it safe, I would first fire up a live CD with gparted and create space or partition the hard drive for ubuntu just the way I want it -- then I install [04:57] Sivik, have you tried a forced mount using ntfs-3g [04:58] I don't know how to force mount during the install. [04:58] <_jesse_> thune3: ah I see :( [04:58] Docteh: here is my sshd conf file http://pastebin.com/MEPvCfGi [04:58] jdsbluedevl, fgrep eth0 `find ~` [04:58] Sivik, are you using the automated installer? [04:58] yes [04:58] jdsbluedevl, fgrep eth3 `find ~` [04:59] wildbat: need to be sudo? [04:59] wildbat: getting permission denied, even with sudo [04:59] hi [04:59] wildbat: telling me argument list is too long [05:00] jdsbluedevl, just some file you can't access ~ look for a match [05:00] typing in twitter is crazy slow on Lucid. Any ideas how to fix this. I am guessing it has to do with java or javascript. [05:00] mib_mib_: try to ssh to the box from the box like: ssh 209.2.3.3 -p 8787 [05:00] Sivik, try ls /dev|grep sd and see if your drive is listed [05:00] IdeAleSs_: javascript [05:00] Docteh: yep thats what i'm doing [05:00] im using lucid..network manager is no where on the panel.. [05:00] if you cant ssh from the box to itself somethings really wrong [05:00] wildbat: that doesn't mean anything to me [05:00] Docteh, that would be my guess? Do do you correct it. Google hasn't been much help. [05:01] ok just to remind every one here is my issue quick question, how do i fix an issue i am having with my .deb file loader. when i try to install any .deb program when i click to install it the installition box to open it comes up but then disappears and never installs the program. why? [05:01] wildbat: I'm getting really close to wiping the disk and starting from scratch [05:01] IdeAleSs_: dunno, i havent noticed twitter being slow ever, and I've used it with firefox and chromium [05:01] and i was told to run dpkg -i filename.deb [05:01] nico_, try sudo dpkg -i *.deb, where *.deb is your package [05:01] nico_ i've seen that when associations are messed up [05:01] so try doing command line [05:01] Docteh, chromium is fine, just FF has the issue. [05:02] nico_, try command line with dpkg [05:02] Docteh: okay so try to ssh to the box from the box [05:02] Docteh: let me try that [05:02] jdsbluedevl, :< [05:02] i would like to know how to access my router using http://192.168.1.1 [05:02] after i did that it said that no sufch filw or package exists. what does that mean now? [05:02] christ_ what type of router [05:02] might not be that addy [05:02] does anyone here knows how to bring back the network-manager in lucid? [05:03] wildbat: yeah, really. I've been trying to get answers for the past week whenever I've been free, yet nothing. [05:03] alt+F2 > nm-applet [05:03] ankush , do you mean the notification one or the one in the system menu [05:03] nico_, are you in the correct directory in the terminal? make sure you cd'd into the directory, or use an absolute handle for the .deb [05:03] jdsbluedevl, ok i find there is a entry in /root/.firestarter [05:03] ankush* [05:03] kathe: the one in system menu [05:03] wildbat: I just need to partition my external HD that I use a backup for my MacBook so I can back up my irreplaceables [05:03] jdsbluedevl, ok i find there is a entry in /root/.gconf/apps/firestarter [05:03] i've been having the same issue, the notifier just dies.. [05:04] yes i did it in the terminal box. [05:04] wildbat: again, don't know what to do [05:04] ankush go to system->prefrences->main menu [05:04] is there a utility to add support for application specific volume control for ubuntu? [05:05] jdsbluedevl, try rename it and see if it reset the firestarter [05:05] wildbat: rename what? [05:05] jdsbluedevl, /root/.gconf/apps/firestarter [05:05] I'm having issues with scp maybe someone can spot my error.. I'm ssh'd in machine A trying to copy a directory to machine B(the one I'm sshing from).. using.. scp remotemachine@192.168.x.x:home/user/.VirtualBox/Machines user2@IP address:home/user2/.VirtualBox/Machines .. Is this correct? I get connection refused errors [05:05] wildbat: I can't access that [05:05] Docteh: okay, so it worked fine, sshing from the remote box to itself using both 127.0.0.1 and its own ip address [05:05] got a problem I dont know where to install grub [05:05] kathe: nucc1 yesterday was helping me troubleshooting the problem, he had askd me to remove it from genome-session-properties [05:05] when updating my system [05:05] jdsbluedevl, sudo -s [05:06] Alright. I set up the partitions as I wanted but the installer is still not seeing them. [05:06] jdsbluedevl, this give you root shell [05:06] sda, sda1, sda 2, or sda 3 [05:06] wildbat: ok, foundit [05:06] *found it [05:06] wildbat: now rename what? [05:06] you mean firestarter to firestarter.bak? [05:06] jdsbluedevl, ya [05:06] Sivik, how did you setup your partitions? [05:07] using fdisk [05:07] pastebin.com/RZ56VH4A [05:07] ankush ah, that's a bit more complicated, i know the file is in /usr/share/gnome/default.session [05:07] wildbat: no dice [05:07] ankush but what to do to put it back, that I don't know [05:07] jdsbluedevl, :< [05:07] but when I use gparted, it shows nothing [05:07] does anyone know a good program to burn an .iso image to USB disk? (UNetbootin isn't what i'm lookin for) [05:08] wildbat: like I said, I think I'm gonna have to wipe and start all over again. [05:08] jdsbluedevl, ok :< sorry can't help [05:08] thanks tucemiux [05:08] wildbat: any easy way of getting a list of what I can reinstall without having to write them down/print it out? [05:08] kathe: to put it back, it uses the command nm-applet -disable something.. [05:08] Sivik, i just had a similar error with gparted. try running gparted from the terminal and see if it reports something about the hal library being locked [05:08] unable to use mic on my systsem [05:09] jdsbluedevl, you mean the packages? [05:09] ankush, let me see what my file says, i might be able to figure it out [05:09] what's the current kernel version being used in Lucid now? [05:09] wildbat: yes [05:09] wildbat: I want to install them back without having to do that manually [05:09] pastebin.com/6KpEbFeN [05:09] something about GPT that I haven't a clue how to get rid of [05:10] wildbat: I guess I could just get an output, put it in a text file, save it to a thumb drive, and then sudo aptitude install PASTEHERE [05:10] Sivik, how did you initially partition the system? [05:10] I know its valid cause I can leave the live cd and load that nasty word 7 without any issues. [05:10] celeritas, created a 50 GB partition via the nasty word 7 install [05:11] what's the current kernel version being used in Lucid now? [05:11] ankush try sudo nm-applet --sm-disable [05:11] wildbat: anyways, I have to go. I'm already late for a timepoint in an molecular-biology experiment I'm doing [05:11] Sivik: is this dual boot? [05:11] wildbat: and then off to slee [05:11] yes, its going to be [05:11] *sleep [05:11] Sivik, that might be the problem. Is your Win7 install kind of old or would you be ready to reinstall? [05:11] jdsbluedevl, dpkg -l [05:11] wildbat: thx. I'll do that [05:11] I just did a fresh install. Its a new drive. 300 GB 10k drie [05:11] drive* [05:11] kathe, yes thats the one..but nucc1 used that to troubleshoot, it will not bring back the network manager!!1 [05:11] Sivik: Fresh install of Linux? [05:12] yes [05:12] Might be easier to let ubuntu repartition the entire drive, then install win7, then rewrite the mbr with grub or use a customized boot loader for windows [05:12] ankush, then try [05:12] 1. Go to /usr/share/app-install/desktop and find Network Manager [05:12] celeritas, sounds like it. [05:12] 2. Right click.. Properties.. copy the command line [05:12] Sivik: how many HD's u have? [05:12] 3. Go to System.. Preferences.. Startup Applications and look for Network Manager [05:12] 4. Click Edit and paste the command then save [05:12] 5. Log out, log in [05:12] How the hell can you remove a folder from rythmbox? Its importing a network share that I don't want it to do anymore. Everytim I open rythmbox it mounts the share. [05:12] Gothicsatan, just one plugged in right now [05:12] Im not sure how to fix the partition table with the screwing it in the process [05:12] Hi is there a way to install vlc-1.0.6 on ubuntu 9.10? [05:13] Sivik: and that's the one u want to install ubunto to? [05:13] but you should look into it, sounds like worthwhile knowledge [05:13] hey guys, it seems i've tried almost everything and i still can't ssh into my remote box -- anyone have any ideas? here is my sshd conf http://pastebin.com/MEPvCfGi [05:13] I've deleted every reference to it in gconf-editor apps > ryhtmbox. I have no idea how it still knows [05:13] yes Gothicsatan [05:13] ankush, the only other thing i can think of is: sudo restart network-manager [05:13] Sivik: Ubuntu should auto-format the drive correctly, atm it seems u have 4 partitions goin [05:14] can anyone help me with java overloading my system load? [05:14] yes, thats because I just created them using fdisk [05:14] Sivik, just read something out of a forum for mac. if you saved the changes with fdisk, that might have fixed it. did you restart? [05:14] Sivik: if u have nothing to lose, get rid of them all, and start over [05:14] No, I didn't try to reboot yet. [05:14] I will try a reboot. [05:14] Sivik, go for it. that might fix it [05:14] maybe [05:15] if not, i will install ubuntu first and then just using grub to fix the mbr [05:15] i used the Ubuntu installer Partitioning software and formatted past a Physical error on my HD just with that, nps [05:16] and i run 10.04 Lucid 64bit :) [05:16] anyone encounter java issues which make their computer run slowly? [05:18] I'll take that as a no I guess [05:18] anyone helpful with samba problems? i can't manage to get my windows machine to see my ubuntu laptop so i can transfer files and fix a bad root partition [05:18] bricky: sda only [05:18] how do i log my terminal window? i google'd it and found a thousand posts about people asking how to log ssh or similar [05:19] Is there a way to remove a single user from the GDM login? I've got 2 main users, and my self. I don't normally use the machine and would like my name removed. [05:19] Jordan_U: I installed it on 'all' of them [05:19] since I was unsure.. and that's wat it said [05:19] how do I check if Grub still works? like test the waters before restarting.. [05:21] bricky: Grub works [05:21] how can i play dvds in the virtual box [05:21] Msnbc, if your installation seems to working correctly, you might want to try asking in the windows channel. on windows there is something similar to a forced mount on linux. net use \\machine\share /user:bla passwd might do it [05:21] script. got it. thanks :) [05:21] bricky: If you read carefully, it says to install to all *drives*. It doesn't hurt to install to the partitions, they will just be ignored (unless you had windows on one of those partitions, in which case it's now unbootable) [05:21] Msnbc, cutting out explorer sometimes helps [05:21] Jordan_U: no windows [05:22] Jordan_U: I will install windows on my 80 GB , so I did the right thing by installing on all? [05:22] ok.. network manager is included in startup aplications , a process nm-applet is running, yet no netork manager icon in panel in lucid? [05:22] ankush: do u run some sort of custom GUI? [05:23] ankush: or icon package? [05:23] Gothicsatan, no? never tried such thing...sounds fun though :) [05:23] bricky: No, you almost never want to install grub to a partition rather than the MBR. It just hasn't done any damage if you don't use windows. [05:24] can anyone tell me how to play dvds in my virtual box [05:24] ankush: do u have any extra icon things installed? [05:24] flash wont work with chromium :-( how do i make it work? [05:24] Gothicsatan, no extra features installed, just default theme and installations [05:25] Jordan_U: I dont [05:25] or which application i can install so that it plays the store bought dvds....it wont play them but any bootleg dvd i insert will play correctly [05:25] how do i find the cpu use from the command line? i just want the cpu use once for use in a script, and i want total not per-process. not using much cpu to figure it out is a plus. [05:25] ankush; I had this exact issue myself, yet I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it?!? [05:25] ankush: ubuntu version? [05:25] Gothicsatan, 10.04 [05:25] a few releases ago; I could remove individual users from the GDM greeter. I would like to remove a user from the list (but not the system) so the day to day users can click their names; but he can enter his name/pw Ideas? gconf-editor doesn't help. [05:25] ankush: 64 bit? [05:25] Gothicsatan, 32 bit [05:25] Izinucs, r u still here [05:26] Jordan_U: but is it possible to find out if it works before reboot? [05:26] NineTeen67Comet, sorry, i think that was one of the things they removed to make the gdm setup "more userfriendly". idiots. [05:27] Gothicsatan, ive upgraded it from 9.10 , it had the same problem there.. [05:27] bricky: Not easily. [05:27] pigeoncluster: top [05:27] PigeonCluster: "magine" that .. more user friendly always seems to = less configurations .. [05:27] Hey guys. Quick question. I noticed that with lucid after opening any program I am unable to click anything including the panels or other buttons within a program. Anyone have an idea on how to fix that problem? [05:28] licquor, mount the DVD image inside virtualbox [05:28] Jordan_U: well, I sure hope it will boot then, [05:28] anyone know how to install java and flash on chromium? [05:28] rafaelsoaresbr, ok [05:28] pigeoncluster: or install htop via the repository - it's much more pleasant on the eyes [05:28] Jordan_U: if it dont im gonna have a fit, I have to migrate my HDD to install another OS [05:28] pizzle, that's ncurses. i want a 0.0 - 1.0 value that represents cpu percent usage. i don't mind processing stuff to get it, but ncurses is not an option [05:29] pizzle, this is not for human eyes [05:29] linux_is_my_hero: java in chromium is currently giving me all kinds of system load problems [05:29] linux_is_my_hero: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, http://tinyurl.com/java6u20 [05:29] pigeoncluster: ok .. sorry I'm not advanced enough to give you an answer then :) [05:30] I like this Ubuntu [05:30] hey room [05:30] licquor, start the virtual machine then click on Devices -> Mount CD/DVD [05:30] !room | beachbrake [05:30] I am able to get off Microsoft [05:31] sorry wrong tab and bearclan it's a channel not a room [05:31] sorry pigeon [05:31] I have been using Open Office for at least a year, it is a good program [05:31] concerning panels in gnome, i have been having issue with mine.... [05:31] rafaelsoaresbr, it doesnt give me that option only getting an unmount and that was there b4 i put the dvd in [05:32] can someone help me diagnose my ssh problem? [05:32] mib_mib_, what wrong with it? [05:32] licquor, first unmount any CD/DVD. === owner is now known as bricky [05:32] well it worked :) [05:33] rafaelsoaresbr, i did that [05:33] celeritas: it was working fine, but i moved to a new location, and i can no longer ssh into my server -- at first i thought it was my router, but i can ssh into a different server fine [05:34] PigeonCluster: what are you trying to do exactly? [05:34] mib_mib_, did you ip change? [05:34] licquor, then mount what you want [05:34] it says something is missing [05:35] celeritas: nope [05:35] celeritas: rather, the ip of the server that i ssh into didn't change [05:35] mib_mib_, but yours did? [05:35] celeritas: the ip of my local computer most certainly changed [05:35] thune3, keep system load below 50% avg over 10 minutes [05:36] celeritas: but i don't have ssh setup to allow only my ip [05:36] mib_mib, have you tried sshing to the server from another machine other than yours? and do you use certificates for authentication? [05:36] writing a script to freeze high cpu processes every so often [05:36] I'm also trying to share our printer (CX 6400) works great on this box, but even though I've got Sys>Admin>Printing selected, Server>Settings showing Publish shared connected to this and the printer its self Enabled, Accepting Jobs and Shared. Ideas? [05:36] ankush remove and readd the notification panel [05:36] I need members of my group to have write access to all files in a folder but when I create new files they dont have write access. How can I solve this? [05:37] PigeonCluster: Have you tried using top in batch mode? [05:37] thune3, btw ##linux told me how [05:37] mib_mib_, does the server give you a login prompt, or does it ignore your connection? [05:37] OldPete, just was informed about that on ##linux, but thanks [05:37] celeritas: dont use certificates, i tried it from another machine on the network and that didn't work [05:37] logie does your group have those permissions over the directory/folder you are creating the files in [05:37] didn't think to investigate top farther [05:37] rafaelsoaresbr, which decoder should i download or install [05:38] mib_mib_, is the machine outside your lan? and if it is, have you tried logging in from an external machine outside the lan? [05:38] PigeonCluster: Cool. [05:38] licquor, you'd better install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:38] firefox and chrome wont run flash. ive tried everything. i need someone to help me before i do something stupid like go back to windows [05:38] mib_mib_, by machine i mean ssh server [05:38] ok [05:39] linux_is_my_hero what version of firefox and chrome, will it display any flash or just not video or sound [05:39] hola [05:39] celeritas: yeah i tried sshing into a different machine (worked fine) and then from that machine sshing into my server, which failed (timed out -- if i use ssh -v option, it says connection refused) [05:39] it wont even recognize the damn plugins. [05:39] linux_is_my_hero, going back to windows for flash is not a good motive at all. have you tried alternative flash plugins for firefoc [05:39] Does anybody have any idea if Steam would work well enough under Wine with an ATi card for a Radeon 4670 ? [05:39] i would like it if linux would what it normally does, work without excuses. [05:40] i've got an nvidia chipset and ubuntu goes to a blank screen during boot, any tips on how to solve this? [05:40] linux_is_my_hero I assume you tried to remove the plugs and readd them [05:40] mib_mib_, sounds like the problem is your ssh server, not your client. are you sure the ssh server is running on the remote machine? [05:40] rafaelsoaresbr, will that let me play the dvd without using the virtual box [05:40] kathe: yes [05:40] mib_mib_, are you using password to authenticate? can you ping the server's ip? [05:40] celeritas: yeah i've confirmed it with ps aux | grep ssh and netstat -ntlp [05:40] rafaelsoaresbr, none of the apps that i installed will play the dvds that arent bootleg [05:40] and im running a clean install since i got a new hard drive [05:40] !dvd | licquor [05:40] licquor: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:40] hello, may I ask for help with my ubuntu 8.04? [05:41] anyone? [05:41] how do I (can I?) use ubuntu as a DLNA server? [05:41] fatsopit: Yes [05:41] !ask | fatsopit [05:41] fatsopit: 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. :-) [05:41] linux_is_my_hero what version of flash are you running [05:41] I guess I could install Wubi to test how games would run if I did a full install ? [05:41] jordan_U: can I pm you? [05:41] kathe: the latest version of the gnash flash plugin [05:41] Name141: Wubi is not a good test environment.. [05:41] mib_mib_, well your ssh server is clearly the problem. check the server logs and try restarting the daemon [05:42] kathe: yes they do [05:42] reply, yeah not so much [05:42] linux_is_my_hero have you tried the adobe 10 [05:42] yes, and it gives me an error at the end of installation. [05:42] celeritas: I can't ping the server....maybe ping is disabled? [05:42] linux_is_my_hero: try flashplugin-installer package before getting fancy [05:42] Izinucs: why is that? It ran fine for the most part last time I tried it [05:42] fatsopit: You may, but it's better to ask the channel as a whole. That way others can help / correct bad advice. [05:42] let me try it again ill tell u exactly what it says [05:42] celeritas: what server logs? i've checked messages, and auth, and syslog, nothing out of the ordinary [05:43] Name141: it's prone to errors.. better to run ubuntu in a virtualbox vm [05:43] Ubuntu8.04: I have problem when clicking the shutdown/logoff button, the panel just disappeared [05:43] why does drawer lag [05:43] logie then you probably need to adjust the unmask settings [05:43] Izinucs: I think Virtualbox would have it's own acceloration and stuff though, rather than the real ATi driver? [05:43] . [05:44] logie here is a link i've used in the past [05:44] logie http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilesp.html [05:44] mib_mib_, netstat and grep may be reporting listening services but you interface may be mapped incorrectly. are you using a nat to connect your server to the internet? and is you server able to make outgoing connections? [05:44] logie near the bottom are some unmask examples [05:44] jordan_U:Ubuntu8.04: I have problem when clicking the shutdown/logoff button, the panel just disappeared [05:44] kathe thanks [05:44] hi world [05:44] logie np [05:45] fatsopit: Did this only happen once, or every time you try to log out? [05:45] mib_mib_, by server logs i mean ssh specifically, which may or may not be logging to syslog [05:45] ankush, where are we at with your nm [05:45] Jordan_U:everytime... this happened after a lib update [05:46] linux_is_my_hero, where are we at with your flash problem [05:46] sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start [05:46] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [05:46] utility, e.g. service vsftpd start [05:46] Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [05:46] Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftpd [05:46] X_o: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:46] vsftpd start/running, process 5158 [05:46] does anyone know a good program to burn an .iso image to USB disk? (UNetbootin isn't what i'm lookin for) [05:47] Gothicsatan, what OS [05:47] kathe: thanks :-) [05:47] Jordan_U: and this started yesterday...also I've removed my firefox but it's still partially active when I click the icon. [05:47] kathe: ;-) [05:47] how do I access the keyring manager? [05:47] linux [05:47] kathe: it worked...i installed from tty this time [05:47] does anyone know where I can place a 'power=off' command so that my wireless interface is started with that parameter? [05:47] sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start [05:47] vsftpd start/running, process 5158 [05:47] Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftpd [05:47] Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [05:47] linux_is_my_hero, good deal [05:47] fatsopit: "partially active"? [05:48] kathe: it get giving me errors if i tried to install from the firefox plugin finder [05:48] ill report a bug [05:48] Jordan_U:it can start but it cannot connect to the internet as if I used the google search it won't do anything [05:48] going to bed, thank you for your help, have a great night :-) [05:48] anyone here use lirc? [05:49] question [05:49] pvl1: Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 AMD64 [05:49] nop irssi [05:49] i want to have my remote's power button launch or close mythfrontend but i can't figure it out. someone told me to use irexec but i dont know what i need to do [05:49] Gothicsatan, what os are you looking to install [05:49] fatsopit: Can you try creating a new user, or logging into the guest account? (not sure if the guest session feature existed in 8.04) [05:50] pvl1: not an OS, a game.. i want to burn it to a USB disc like it was a CD.. [05:50] Howdy ya'll [05:50] Howdt [05:50] howdy* [05:50] I have a quetion [05:50] .hell [05:50] about vsftp [05:50] ok. I have to say this. Ubuntu on my Santa Rosa MacBookPro is freaking awesome. Everything including two finger scrolling, wireless, video, isight works out of the box. Life is good!!!!! [05:50] Gothicsatan, ah i see. so your lookin to emulate a cd through usb, or simply copy the contents [05:51] join ubuntu-cn [05:51] I'M Tried to run vsftp [05:51] pvl1: Correct [05:51] Gothicsatan, you don't really burn those to a memory stick like a cd, memory sticks are a different medium, you can emulate a cd by mounting an io image from any source including the usb [05:51] by /etc/init.d/vsftp restart [05:51] but i get this [05:51] X_o, we saw please dont [05:51] what do I need to backup if I want to reinstall Lucid again? I have some weird vidio and wifi issues I don't want to fix [05:51] Gothicsatan, or you can uncompress the image and copy the fiels over, but a lot of DRM won't like it depending on the game [05:51] kathe: it's so i can give the stick to someone else and they plug it in, and it reacts like it was an inserted disc [05:52] Jordan_U: I can make new user but I don't think I can switch user without turning off the computer first [05:52] Gothicsatan: That's not possible. [05:52] X_o, either begin using the service, or change the scripts for it [05:52] Gothicsatan, dependins on their operating system [05:52] kathe: not lookin for OS boots [05:52] Jordan_U, how does like sandisk do it then [05:52] Jordan_U for real? :( [05:52] I did it [05:52] upgrdman i have lirc set up hto do exactly that let me look how i did it [05:52] pvl1: With hardware that emulates a CDROM drive [05:52] no no [05:52] celeritas: how can i check if things are mapped correctly? this was working before so its weird that it no longer works [05:53] Gothicsatan, on linux, you can setup a command to auto mount an iso file and execute it through the command line, past that, not possible [05:53] Jordan_U, thought so [05:53] I did the same steps but now I have that [05:53] Gothicsatan, windows you buy alcohol 120% [05:53] Jordan_U, jw [05:53] i have an .iso.. i want to 'burn' to USB so when i give it to my friend it just pops up like a CD [05:53] Gothicsatan, mac I'm not certain [05:53] Gothicsatan, not possible [05:53] kathe: windows = suxx [05:53] kathe: damn [05:54] X_o, what command did you actually send [05:54] Gothicsatan: this is an iso on what? [05:54] of what* [05:54] /etc/init.d/vsftpd [05:54] Jordan_U:???? [05:54] fatsopit: You can safely reboot by pressing alt+f2, which should bring up a run dialog, and run "gksudo shutdown -r now" [05:54] it's a Windows game, totally installable in ubuntu.. he's just lazy [05:54] Gothicsatan, there is something very close to what you want to do that is very easy on linux [05:54] that and it'd be fun to figure out how to do [05:54] what do I need to backup to restore after complete rein [05:54] restart [05:55] kathe: yeah? [05:55] mib_mib_, if you are using a nat managed by a router, logging into the router should not be a problem as most come with web interfaces. if your server is able to make outgoing connections, take a note of its ip and machine name. in the nat configuration of your router, make sure that the ports for ssh are correct. and you ping may be failing because the gateway is not responding to the message [05:55] Gothicsatan, here is a link for how to mount an iso image from the command line http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-to-mount-iso-image-under-linux.html [05:55] kathe, mount -o loop iso folder [05:55] kathe: i know how to use mount -o loop [05:55] i think [05:55] kathe: he don't [05:55] hey. any gnuplot experts here? [05:55] Ghoticsatan, write a script then [05:56] kathe: i was tryin to make it "idiot-proof" for lack of a better term [05:56] X_o, /etc/init.d/vsftpd doesnt do anything [05:56] When he plugs in the memory stick, have it auto run a command file that does the mount [05:56] Jordan_U:... tried the "#gksudo shutdown -r now" nothing happened [05:56] kathe: that's a good idea xAD [05:56] X_o, firstly unless you are already root, you need a sudo, second you need to tell vsftpd what to do. regardless, its already started from the other command. so try sudo service vsftp stop [05:56] xD [05:57] or vstp start [05:57] Thanks kathe [05:57] fatsopit: Remove the '#' [05:57] Gothicsatan, your welcome [05:57] did it "gksudo shutdown -r now" [05:57] hello to each and everyone of you [05:57] still no thing [05:57] hello id lucas === anj is now known as anjtheodd [05:57] I tried and I have that error [05:57] fatsopit gksu not gksudo [05:58] i right sudo /etc/init.d/vsftp restart [05:58] fatsopit: Try "gnome-terminal" then run "sudo shutdown -r now" in the terminal that comes up [05:58] Jordan_U, fatsopit, why shutdown with gksudo. if you are in tty, you need sudo [05:58] logie: fatsopit: gksu and gksudo are same. [05:58] celeritas: He's not, he's using the alt+f2 dialog (lost his top pannel) [05:58] X_o, are you saying that you tried to run "sudo service vsftp stop" already [05:59] Gothicsatan: i don't understand why mounting the iso, and copying the contents to a fat32 formatted flash drive will not do what you want. (You plug it in and the files are there). [05:59] yes [05:59] X_o, in that case run sudo killall vsftp [05:59] Jordan_U, ah looks like whatever he chose worked :) [06:00] thune3: that would work, but the guy i'm gonna give the disk too won't understand how to mount the files right.. since it's a window program that needs to get installed through wine.. [06:00] thune3: i'm tryin to make it very simple for him [06:00] Gothicsatan: mount what files? [06:01] celeritas: ah okay well i can't even ping my server, so something must have happened to it [06:01] thune3: he's have to do the sudo mount -o loop options, since he don't understand how that works, he won't do it [06:01] celeritas: what do I do to make it so my server can accept outside connections? [06:01] thune3: he's really wierd [06:01] logie, ever figure out how you did it with lirc? [06:01] Gothicsatan: create a script! [06:02] no, i'm suggesting that you unpack the iso, and just give him the files on a flash drive [06:02] ldvx: that's what i'm doing now :) [06:02] I need to reinstall Lucid but before I do what do I need to backup ? I already grabbed my Home folder. [06:02] It's taking me a lot longer to log into ubuntu than it used to. Is there a program to see which startup programs are taking the most time? [06:02] How can I make bluetooth to be turned off by default when I powerup my notebook? [06:03] sirninja, i think there is a diagnostics command in init.d [06:03] Gothicsatan: i assume i'm missing something [06:03] kathe: Isn't that more for system files? I still boots up fast, it just takes a long time to load gnome [06:04] thune3: i had no probs just mounting the .iso file via 'mount -o loop' [06:04] sirninja, ah, sorry misunderstood the question [06:04] mib_mib_, well if you were able to connect before something must have been either setup correctly, extremely insecure, or a little of both. a server accepts connections through tcp and udp connections that are either mapped by a nat table on your router or directly routed to the machine when the router is running as a dmz. it really depends on your needs. if you only need ssh, setting up a nat to allow only ssh through will do t [06:04] he trick. most routers won't respond to pings in order to keep scanners like nmap from detecting the machine, but there are way around that [06:04] thune3: he's not so swift, lol [06:04] sirninja, what version of ubuntu are you running [06:04] kathe: 10.04 [06:05] thune3: i just thought i'd be fun to pick brains and see what to do about making it simple, and making a startup script is the easiest.. i'm gonna do that. [06:05] Gothicsatan: i'm saying, don't give him the iso, unpack the iso and give him the files. in other words, just copy the files from your loop mounted iso to a flash drive. why doesn't that work? [06:05] sirninja, sorry haven't played with 10.04 yet, still running 9 series myself, they have an updated gnome there, and not familiar with it [06:06] thune3, that does not always work depending on what he is trying to run. [06:06] kathe: the thing is, it used to log in really fast, but not it's a lot slower and I don't recall changing anything major like that [06:06] Gothicsatan, will the startup script mount the image only, or does it also trigger other programs. keep in mind the simple startup mounting can be done with fstab [06:06] thune3: haven't tried it yet, i'm just gonna make a script that mounts the iso from the USB Stick and auto starts the wine 'install.exe' for him, then he won't even notice [06:06] celeritas: i can ssh into other remote servers fine, how do i make my remote server allow outbound connections and such? sorry if i'm being dense. [06:07] celeritas: see above lol [06:07] that what I get after tried to run sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start [06:07] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [06:07] lol i saw it [06:07] sirninja, hmm... there are a lot of forum entries for slow booting because of multimedia and video [06:07] mib_mib_, pm [06:07] utility, e.g. service vsftpd start [06:07] utility, e.g. service vsftpd start [06:07] i <3 you guys, ya'll have pointed me in the right direction when i was just blind to the oblivious. [06:08] hey for a website with mysql/forum/some load from the sql database not tons but I'm running a game server that access the database but not crazy just here and there to save char data and such. Anyways I'm wondering what a good vps specs be to start out with like ram and cpu use. [06:08] jordan_U: seemed that I'm running low on disk space [06:08] Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an [06:08] Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftpd [06:08] sirninja, have you checked out the forums yet? [06:09] also try to stop I get the same error [06:10] kathe: I've been looking around [06:10] upgrdman: http://pastebin.com/wu0Z7EFP [06:11] sirninja, lots of complaints, this is the only one i have seen that has a workaround http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9342069 [06:12] hello everyone [06:12] it points to your bios settings, make sure everythign is disabled that should be, like if a non-existant floopy drive [06:12] have any of you uninstalled the indicator-applet volume monitor and replaced it with the normal gnome-volume-monitor? If so, did you find a way to make it blend better with the Light themes? Mine shows up as black with green waves instead of tan with tan waves. Tried copying/renaming the volume-panel files in the theme's directory (under 22 and 24) but that didn't seem to do it [06:12] I keep getting the message "ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [f7c82dec] 'on'".

[06:39] hello! trying to fix my networking which wouldn't come up after an update. after editing /etc/network/interfaces I can see eth0; before it had claimed it couldn't find wlan0, which I hadn't used in months. now that I have an eth0, what's keeping me from the network? [06:39] I think its gnome [06:39] MacGuges, Are you ready to delve into networking? [06:39] thune3: any idead for my? [06:40] cos since yesterday it has downloaded stuffs... lib/kernel and since it has become unstable [06:40] fatsopit, the power button is handled by your display manager. can you look up those logs? [06:40] MacGuges, sudo ifup eth0 should make eth0 work. eth0 Should be a wired connection BTW [06:40] edbian: yes, I am ready to delve. bring it on! [06:40] anyoneofus: you saw my last post to you? http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/support/faq/faq-upgrade/ looks like havp 0.89 doesn't support latest clam: http://www.server-side.de/ [06:40] celeritas: how can I do that with no panel in sight [06:40] MacGuges. are getting an ip?

[06:42] MacGuges, Pardon me for being rude but. What is taking you so long? [06:42] engineer, what is it? [06:42] hmm, it looks like ifup eth0 failed on finding dhcp leases. [06:42] edbian: yeah a samba server, i grep'd ps ax for smbd,b ut it's not running and smbclient -L says nothing [06:42] celeritas. have u used it for load balancing?

If it's not running sudo /etc/init.d/samba start [06:43] celeritas. i need help in PFSENSE? its a networking tool [06:43] edbian: what? well, maybe because I'm still unused to my phone's keyboard. [06:43] MacGuges, You're running ubuntu on your phone???? [06:43] engineer, i know what load balancing is but the technical details: nope [06:44] edbian: haha no, just irc. [06:44] celeritas... how u did load balancing? what u used ? hardware based or software? [06:44] MacGuges, Oh, well that will make pastebin difficult won't it. [06:44] Hey peoples. Can someone help me to understand where the value for $PATH is stored in linux, and how to edit specific commandline environment variables, including $PATH? [06:44] edbian: I was confused by your question. yes, it would. [06:44] What software should I use to convert a 1080p mkv movie to 720p? [06:44] MacGuges, you want DHCP for eth0? I'll send you a /etc/network/interfaces that is perfect and you can check against yours. [06:44] engineer, like i said. i know what it is and often throttled by it. no idea how to implement or troubleshoot [06:45] anyone tried to put ubuntu on a ps3? [06:45] celeritas. ok fine. i have done it all through sofware and hardware. just have an issue. thought i will get an expert here [06:45] or an old xbox? [06:45] SeanInSeattle, look in your home folder for .bashrc etc [06:45] edbian: alright, that would be useful, thank you [06:45] @celeritas: tried the CTRL+ALT+F2 n got text interface... cannot do anything and just restarted [06:46] @celeritas cool. [06:46] my lucid's booting is slow, what should i check in order to decrease boot time? [06:46] engineer, possibly in linux or networking channels [06:46] MacGuges, http://pastebin.com/tLavZR3G Is yours different? [06:46] fatsopit, cd /var/log [06:47] fatsopit, ls and look around for *i think* gdm.log for the gnome display manager [06:47] celeritas.. thankyou. i am already searching for some one there as well. till now no success. [06:47] anybody know the log file for the gnome display manager? [06:47] @celeritas "path" not found... :( [06:47] Can someone give a message to tenshinoneko_ for me when he comes back? [06:48] edbian: there are a few differences in order, and more newlines in mine. [06:48] wow I cant believe you can scroll with two fingers [06:48] edbian: thanks, it worked, it's called smbd in lucid and is part of upstart so i can start it with 'start smbd' [06:48] MacGuges, You didn't actually write the /n write? You mean just spacing? [06:48] I thought MAC patented that, lol [06:48] infid, awesome! [06:48] infid, I think you did more than I did though ;) [06:48] @celeritas: done ls got gdm but no gdm.log [06:48] bricky, What hardware are you using? [06:48] Jordan_U.. [06:49] edbian: an HP laptpo. [06:49] laptop* [06:49] Dv8000 [06:49] fatsopit, gdm should do. can you put that in pastebin, i think you can do it through wget [06:49] MacGuges, Did you change the file at all? [06:49] I can even side scroll like that hehe [06:49] @celeritas: how? wget gdm ? [06:50] bricky, Apparently HP has some tech that lets their touchpad recognize multi-input. [06:50] edbian: and windows never even bothered? [06:50] thats pathetic [06:50] bricky, You need hardware and software for it to work. I guess you didn't install any on windows and it didn't come with any like Ubuntu [06:50] I was asking around before like years ago [06:50] :) [06:50] SeanInSeattle: what are you trying to do? [06:50] fatsopit, use lynx [06:51] edbian: right on, never thought id find anything cool in preferences>mouse.. =p [06:51] fatsopit, lynx pastebin.com [06:51] bricky, ha ha. Linux is full of school stuff. [06:51] not that its that 'cool' but still its handy [06:52] edbian: yeah I installed my braodcom drivers from the synaptic pck manager [06:52] but nothing worked so far [06:52] use ctrl+x when posting and enter filename of file to upload (/var/log/gdm) [06:52] so I gave up , for now [06:52] @celeritas: confused????=-O [06:52] bricky, Oh :( [06:52] bricky, Sorry to hear. [06:52] celeritas_: Yes? [06:52] Jordan_U, the message [06:53] edbian: no problem at all, It recognized it before, I will make it happen [06:53] celeritas_: Add this to /etc/grub.d/40_custom http://paste.debian.net/76822/ then run "sudo update-grub" then reboot into windows. [06:53] bricky, good attitude. I think you'll get it eventually. [06:53] although I dont know why some drivers dont have auto cfg packages that just run the commands [06:53] edbian: :) [06:53] hey [06:53] I have a problem with ubuntu install [06:53] @celeritas:how can I see what's inside gdm? [06:53] When I choose Install or Try [06:54] I have a black screen [06:54] and nothing happens [06:54] bricky, yeah, it's complicated I'm sure [06:54] edbian: beforehand, I removed the lines referencing wlan0; just now I added "auto eth0" before the ^iface eth0 inet dhcp. [06:54] hi al [06:54] anyone else have the problem... that after a full shutdown, next time u boot up.. fsck run and freezes [06:54] MacGuges, Are you trying to get your wired connection up or your wifi? [06:54] fatsopit, first "lynx pastebin.com" then page down until the posting part and at the x press ctrl+x, then enter "/var/log/gdm", then page down and submit [06:54] What software should I use to convert a 1080p mkv movie to 720p? [06:54] anyone has an idea? [06:54] next time u reboot worksw fine, just after a full shutdown [06:54] Yosi: 10.04? [06:54] thune3: sorry for the delay, I'm trying to add the path to the django-*.py files to my path so that I don't have to give the absolute path each time. [06:54] MacGuges, eth0 is for wired connections, wlan0 is for wifi. [06:54] yes 10.04 [06:54] Jordan_U, got it [06:55] celeritas_: Thanks [06:55] Yosi: have you tried alt+F2? [06:55] if I hit ctrl-alt--del irt aborts, and reboots fine, but after the next full shutdown same issue again [06:55] edbian: my wired connection. (I haven't used wireless since I moved) [06:55] jeff - what does that do? [06:55] jeff: I'm new to linux/ubuntu [06:56] SeanInSeattle: you are running something from shell? or you need this in the global environment? [06:56] Yosi: BRB [06:56] thune3: Yes, I'm running on the bash shell. [06:56] MacGuges, ok then. It is plugged in I'm assuming. Try and bring the interface up again since you changed the file. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (to restart the entire networking stack) or just simply ifup eth0 [06:56] where I can find lynx pastebin.com??? [06:56] its a command [06:56] just run it [06:57] just did ad I get bash: lnyx: command not found [06:57] i guess try sudo apt-get install lynx [06:57] :/ [06:57] it's strange. my networking was working yesterday, with ubuntu update and firefox, but this old file still had the same old stuff. [06:57] hey fatsopit, can't you just restart and then post the log file? [06:57] tried getting lynx now [06:58] fatsopit, getting the pastebin though lynx is the cooler thing to do hehe [06:59] still @ 70% on lynx apt-get update [06:59] MacGuges, So does that mean it isn't working? [06:59] thune3: Wait a min, I think its working. Nevermind. [06:59] edbian: when I do that, I see "no DHCPOFFERS received". but my nic is blinking.. [06:59] thune3: I did successfully add it to my path. :) [06:59] SeanInSeattle: at the end of your ~/.bashrc file you can add "export PATH=$PATH:~/bin" <-- line [06:59] MacGuges, You do have a DHCP server running right? [06:59] SeanInSeattle: too late ;) [06:59] thune3: Why the use of the keyword "export"? [07:00] k... got lynx pastebin.com [07:01] edbian: sure, it's part of my ambit modem from rr [07:01] MacGuges, sounds like no DHCP server on your lan. if you know your gateway ip, just use a static ip and a public dns to get some net [07:01] SeanInSeattle: when you run a shell script, the variables stay in the executing environment unless you export them to the calling shell. [07:01] MacGuges, sudo ifconfig -a [07:01] MacGuges, That should list eth0 (among other things) [07:02] @celeritas_: got lynx pastebin.com [07:02] now what? [07:02] fatsopit, scroll, or rather page down until the posting area [07:02] Does anyone play Anarchy Online? [07:02] thune3: So I would normally use export if I want the environment variable to become available to other processes that do not utilize the .bashrc configuration file? [07:02] on linux* [07:02] did it [07:02] edbian: yes, I see eth0 along with a eth0.avahi interface I hadn't seen before. [07:02] at the x, press ctrl+x [07:03] then enter the filename /var/log/gdm [07:04] MacGuges, I don't know why you can't get a DHCP lease :( [07:04] MacGuges, It should be working [07:04] hello guyx [07:04] i'm trying to launch scheduled tasks from ubuntu 10.04 [07:04] but it doest work [07:04] I don't understand why I wouldn't have dhcp; and besides; I was online yesterday. [07:04] @celeritas_: do you mean beneath the "post a new pastebin"? [07:05] What software should I use to convert a 1080p mkv movie to 720p? [07:05] piczek [07:05] MacGuges: what type of internet do you have? (Cable, DSL?) [07:05] SeanInSeattle: it doesn't look like export is required in .bashrc [07:05] kurwa [07:05] jeff: u there? [07:05] kurwa mac [07:06] thune3: Interesting... :) I tried searching for it on the interwebs, but didn't find much. [07:06] SeanInSeattle: for more global path (outside of running in a shell), there are other mechanisms for setting the path [07:06] help: [07:06] :( [07:07] Is there an easy way to access my Windows Server 2003 shares via the Internet, primarily upon my Ubuntu laptop? I've considered VPN, but all the applications I've downloaded seem needlessly complicated, or don't work cross-platform. [07:07] Does anyone ever had a problem lauching scheduled task?

I'm a newbie and using ubuntu 8.04.... seemed that my panel disappear everytime I click shutdown/logoff [07:07] I suspect ubuntu update got a package last night that changed something else, before I shutdown and lost my networking. but it's bizarre. I've never used static networking with rr.com [07:07] 123 [07:07] 123 [07:07] what? [07:08] fatsopit, try to switch off your wireless [07:08] @grimly: no wireless [07:08] edbian: thank you for your efforts.

I really appreciate your having looked that up. Thanks for your help! [07:12] 好的 谢谢 ubottu [07:12] SeanInSeattle: thank you. i got to learn the latest way ubuntu does this stuff. [07:13] Hello. My CHROME has lost sound, youtube eg. FIREFOX has not. Anyone heard of this? [07:13] @any1@all.... please help... ubuntu 8.04 panel lost after clicking shutdown/logoff... and nothing happened [07:14] tripelb: don't use chrome? [07:14] Hi I have installed kubuntu-desktop over ubuntu and when I am connecting to kde session I have the gnome-keyring app launched automatically I looked in System > Advanced > Applications Start automatically and there is no other gnome app activitated, how do I remove the gnome keyring app automatically launched in kde? [07:14] KDE +Gnome = ouch [07:15] @any1@all.... please help... ubuntu 8.04 panel lost after clicking shutdown/logoff... and nothing happened [07:15] hi yall [07:15] seemed no one can help [07:16] Gothicsatan, are you serious? (Chrome has been much better than firefox) ((or is this like the dr. who said, "Your knees hurt? Get a mop.)) [07:17] am looking for a way to look at how much power my ubuntu lucid server is using. googe'l points to tons of posts on power mgmt, but im not finding anything to monitor what it needs ??? any suggestions [07:17] tripelb: in my experiance firefox has never done me wrong [07:17] zosky: using a device called "KILL A WATT" [07:18] tripelb: This may not be the issue, but I've had some problems with Flash in Chrome (well, Chromium) at times. Go to the "Control the current page" button -> Developer -> Task Manager, click on Flash, and click "End process." [07:18] Yosi, sure that sounds usefull. but is there no way for ubuntu to figure this out on its own ? [07:19] hi all [07:19] have someone tried to use google chrome on ubuntu ? and is it worth anything to use [07:19] zosky: dunno [07:19] manulau, ya ~ it is fast [07:20] manulau: i use firefox, it's fast, and stable [07:20] lucid 64 bit [07:20] zosky: cant identify every single component in a computer, also last time i checked, hardware for even checking voltages has crap support [07:20] i installed Mac4_Linux theme yesterday and on launching openoffice, the progress bar on the openoffice splash laods upto almost 3/4 way then stops and dissappears, eventually openoffice does not open. Is their a wayi can invetstigate the cause of this, where can i find the most recent log file for openoffice? [07:21] zosky: You'll pretty much need to measure it from outside the computer, using a Kill-A-Watt or similar. You can find them fairly cheaply online. [07:21] nmvictor: openoffice just updated, ur theme may not support the new code [07:22] Gothicsatan: it should still eventually show up even if the theme is wack [07:22] thanks Docteh & aschmitz. [07:22] @any1@all.... please help... ubuntu 8.04 panel lost after clicking shutdown/logoff... and nothing [07:23] hmm [07:23] hello??? [07:24] Gothicsatan: run like ooffice from a terminal and see if any errors pop up [07:24] Docteh: yeah.. up but i seem to rely on how things mess up for no reason on updates.. and go from there, if he's using a 3rd party theme, it may not support the program [07:24] whoops [07:24] lo [07:24] Gothicsatan: did you say open office just updated?? please what do you mean? [07:24] fatsopit: Try checking /var/log/syslog (or using the Log File Viewer), and see if anything happens when you click shutdown. [07:24] nmvictor: ooffice in a !terminal ;) [07:25] @aschmitz: will try [07:25] nmvictor: i'm running 10.04 Lucid Ubuntu.. Openoffice just has updates go through.. something may have changed that interferes with the current theme u have.. [07:25] the openoffice update was a few days ago, today was a mysql security update [07:25] nmvictor: i'm not for sure, but maybe default back and see if it boots [07:26] i'm a few days behind. [07:26] internet/jail issues lol [07:26] lol [07:26] I've been fiddling with apt-mirror and apt-cacher is why I know [07:26] ahh [07:26] @aschmitz: now its working... [07:26] Docteh: the splash screen starts then goes off as i explained, im returned to the promp. NO output [07:26] confused how did it solve itself [07:27] thats odd, does oowriter do the same thing? [07:27] fatsopit: That is weird. Perhaps just a temporary bug? [07:27] nmvictor: if u choose to use the default ubuntu theme, and try to load openoffice.. does it? [07:27] how temporary if it last 2 days [07:27] Yo yo yo [07:28] can anyone help me with my fsck bug in 10.04 [07:28] ? [07:28] what sort of bug [07:28] !anyone | yosi [07:28] yosi: 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? [07:28] 2nd problem: I've tried apt-get remove firefox... but its still there when I click from menu [07:28] after a full shutdown (not a reboot), next time I boot up.. fsck runs and freezes [07:29] good, point thanks [07:29] Fatsopit: if you run: dpkg -l | grep fire ,are there any packages relating to the browser there? [07:29] @aschmitz: could you assist 2 help? [07:29] fartsopit sudo apt-get purge firefox [07:29] fatsopit* [07:29] lol [07:29] Fasopit: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox* ,is how I get rid of it [07:29] fatsopit: No idea on the firefox removal. Have you also removed firefox-3.0 and/or firefox-3.5? [07:29] Gothicsatan: i found the update thing interesting because immediately after openoffice launch&fail, i had these process, cant remember their names quit well[ apt-show-version, update-apt-xapi, gzip ] hoging 60-80% of my CPU. I am also running Lucid lynx [07:29] fatsopit: Go with what ActionParsnip said. [07:29] Yosi, new disk? [07:30] Fatsopit: you can alsways run alacarte and remove the entrys manually [07:30] hey peoples i do not understand why my system is using 480MB swap of 512MB if i have 2gb of memory ram free in total its 3gb ram and why its using swap? my system is very slow because that [07:30] yes, new raid array... but ran many tests on it, any everything says its fine [07:30] help me? [07:30] Fatsopit: remember to run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [07:30] Yosi, seagate 1TB? [07:30] hmm, I wish someone could tell me why Ubuntu One Music Store's music is encoded in MP3 [07:30] I may have shut it down once inproperly b4 i knew the linux command "shutdown -h now" [07:30] new to linux [07:31] Killown: try: lsof | grep sw | less [07:31] nmvictor: i would have to say that the current theme ur running don't like the way open office works.. and to try a default theme, and see how things go.. if all is well, the the theme is the problem, not openoffice. [07:31] wildbat: 4 Intel SSD ona LSI Raid controller [07:31] Callum__: interesting. [07:31] Killown: if you have 2gb ram you can set vm.swappiness to 1 and be fine [07:31] actionParsnip: cool... did what you tell me and its great [07:31] aschmitz, thanks man. It worked. Also I thought I had closed chrome and reopened it but with two screens (workspaces) I think I hadnt closed ALL of chrome windows. And again thanks for the help. [07:32] ActionParsnip ok [07:32] Callum__: mp3 is a common denominator, whats your beef? circle one its not flac, its not ogg, its not wma [07:32] actionParsnip: thanks a lot [07:32] anyway to make fsck run once properly and clean that flag that makes it run and freeze on every normal bootup [07:32] Fatsopit: its one of the first things I remove on a clean install. I hatee firefox [07:32] Docteh: when OGGs are smaller per bitrate and are supported in Ubuntu without installing legally questioned plugins [07:32] Yosi: might be improper shutdowns [07:32] Yosi: are there physical errors on the disc? [07:32] Yosi, hmm you wanna ship to me for fix ;p j/k sorryon't know about fsck freeze~... [07:32] Docteh: mp3 requires extra codecs wheras ogg will work on any ubuntu ootb [07:33] i checked a few programs, and don't see any physical errors being reported on the disk/array [07:33] tripelb: Cool, glad it worked. (And yeah, Chrome is sometimes hard to close.) [07:33] Callum__: exactly. I think its real weird [07:33] Yosi: can u boot, and run a system test within Ubuntu? [07:33] ActionParsnip, sudo sysctl -p [07:33] vm.swappiness = 1 [07:33] ActionParsnip: for a company promoting open source and patent-free products, I think its almost hypocritical [07:33] is canonical running the music store or is it third party [07:33] Gothicsatan: i like the theme though, its best for my iBook. its true i have been working with open office on other themes, why lie. But im gonna work to keep the theme first with support fo ooffice.beside, just realized that openoffice is set among the upgradable packages, according to aptitude [07:33] afternoon [07:34] Gothic: I can boot, by hitting crtl-alt-del, and it boots up fine, what test should i run... [07:34] I even tried to boot with a live-cd, but don't know what test to run [07:34] Killown: cool but weird how you are chewing swap. The lsof should show swhats in swap though afaik [07:34] uh [07:34] nmvictor: but if the theme is the only problem, and all u get is looks, i'd rather go for function than looks anyday [07:34] ActionParsnip: never heard of that being a use for lsof [07:35] ActionParsnip, i set it in /etc/systcl.conf will it auto start this setting each boot? [07:35] every boot* [07:35] Callum__: all I can think is its so folks can download the music as dumb ipods don't play ogg as its too awesome :) [07:35] Killown: yeah that's the idea dude [07:35] ActionParsnip, thank you [07:35] Docteh: yeah the file is open. I believe it reads swap too [07:36] ActionParsnip: who uses Linux only with an iPod when they have to have either Mac OS or Windows to set it up using iTunes >_> [07:36] set it up first time* === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin [07:36] Gothicsatan: your right, im gonna default to you advice when their wont be much left to do [07:36] Gothicsatan: really appreciate [07:36] Callum__: I don't use apple products on principle as well as they suck [07:36] Yosi: System>Administration>System Testing [07:37] lets see, 7.4mb of swap in use, i'll try this [07:37] nmvictor: sorry i can't say much else, it was more of a test to see which is the problem. [07:37] ActionParsnip: same here, the only one actually worth considering IMO is the iPod touch [07:37] ActionParsnip: i just see kswapd0 process [07:37] and then jailbreak it of course [07:38] hmm the music store is drm free, nice [07:38] Callum__: could log a bug ;). All ipods are rubbish, so little features for so much cash, but its shiny shiny [07:38] Callum__: oh yeah jailbreak definately required [07:39] Gothicsatan: no, i really apreciate anyway. Its not always easy to have someone come out to help, i have been a victim of that before [07:39] when the 4g was new, the apple ui was more intuitive than the competition [07:39] but then again I could pre-order a Pandora and get a much more powerful Linux pocket-small portable that can play pretty much anything [07:39] nmvictor: [07:39] I should get my 3g ipod working off of a cf card [07:40] Gothic: ran the test and it gave me a report, now what? [07:40] nmvictor: i'm no pro, but i've had my fair share of problems with linux, and have found workarounds, anything i can do to help.. [07:40] Yosi: what does it say? do you have any errors anywhere? [07:40] Yosi: it'll tell ya [07:41] Killown: if you run top you should be able to sort by ram use and see the highest offender. I suggest you close firefox if its open as a good first move [07:41] Gothic: no erros, just a run down of system equipment etc.. [07:42] question: I read that ktorrent allows you to list an order of download instead of using high/low flags, is there another torrent app for gnome that does that? also is there any issues with installing ktorrent even though i use gnome desktop? [07:42] Yosi: sec.. [07:42] ActionParsnip i was using blender for rendering a model and this model take a lot cpu. [07:42] I installed maverick but still said I have lucid ??? [07:42] anyone can help with mounting/unmount problem? [07:43] is there no way to directly get a list of whats using swap? [07:43] selutha: doesnt transmission do that [07:43] Lazaro: what does: lsb_release -c ,say? [07:43] Gothicsatan: if my updating direction fails, is their a way i could restrict openoffice to the default theme and keep the new theme for other applications, abiword wirks fine as i can see [07:43] anyone can help with mounting/unmount problem? [07:43] lazaro: but are things crashing? :) [07:43] I have no idea ActionParsnip [07:43] Lazaro: if it says lucid then reboot and hold shift when grub loads, then select the maverick kernel [07:43] fatsopit: !ask the question [07:44] HI there. I'm trying to setup a cron job. But when I enter "1 * * * * ~/myScript.sh" on "crontab -e" nothing happens. Do you know what else could I do? [07:44] ok [07:44] Lazaro: then test it dude (obviously) [07:44] nmvictor: iirc there is a command to set default theme options.. but u'll have to google the exact command [07:44] i will try that [07:44] Ftn: install gnome-scheduler its a gui to cron === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD [07:44] !info gnome-scheduler [07:44] Package gnome-scheduler does not exist in lucid [07:44] zen0, all i saw was using flags high,low,normal. ktorrent can allow you to set dload this one then this ect ect for like a season of anime so you can watch ep 1 while the others go on. So i can set a few as high then leave the others as normal, just sounds nicer to have it dl this one then the next so on and so on [07:44] !info gnome-schedule [07:44] gnome-schedule (source: gnome-schedule): GNOME scheduler for automatic tasks. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.1-3 (lucid), package size 1094 kB, installed size 2684 kB [07:45] Ok its gnome-schedule [07:45] Yosi: i'm out of ideas :( [07:45] @docteh: mounting/unmount internal partition drive... yesterday when I try to mount my internal ntfs (data from previous microsucks version) I had to do it from terminal... cannot automount when I click... said only root can mount/unmount [07:45] Is there an easy way to access my Windows Server 2003 shares via the Internet, primarily upon my Ubuntu laptop? I've considered VPN, but all the applications I've downloaded seem needlessly complicated, or don't work cross-platform. [07:45] hello guys, i got a problem with phpmyadmin... when i put the user, in this case, root, and the password it doesnt join. show up the same login page but without any error message or anything [07:45] ActionParsnip Alright, thanks! [07:45] Gothic: fair enough, someone told me to try the recovery shell or boot option [07:46] Yosi: wish i could help ya more :/ [07:46] Alemmer: exposing internet shares on wan is a bad idea dude. I'd use some form of service. You can install openssh on the server and use sshfs to connect securely [07:46] Almmer: you could also use an ftp service [07:46] ftpes ftw [07:47] aLemmer: I'd suggest ftp on a non standard port, or openvpn [07:47] i'm trying to set /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs to 1500 but after a few seconds i check it and it is saying 0 again how would i see whats changing it back [07:47] dotch: hey are you the guy that made that boinc livecd? [07:48] ping [07:48] Gothicsatan: i'd be glad with that === jnperlin_ is now known as jnperlin [07:48] @all: mounting/unmount internal partition drive... yesterday when I try to mount my internal ntfs (data from previous microsucks version) I had to do it from terminal... cannot automount when I click... said only root can mount/unmount [07:48] afraid nt Docteh [07:48] nmvictor: like i said, u'll have to google that command.. should be very easy to find [07:49] Can I run full Ubuntu Desktop Edition instead of netbook remix on a netbook? [07:49] NeonLightning: can you give the full command you are using [07:49] anyone can help me with the phpmyadmin problem? [07:49] Yes shawncm217.. but don't expect the extra visuals and stuff [07:49] shawncm217: netbooks are still commonly regular computers, just smaller with less ram, how much ram ya got [07:49] it'll be very basic, but more versitle [07:49] Poizon: what about if you log on as your user (not root) [07:50] Docteh: 1GB [07:50] thune3: sudo su - then i typed in echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs and it goes to 1500 when i cat it and keep doing so for a few seconds then it goes back to 0 [07:50] fatsopit: thats odd, are you logged in on the first account that was made or? [07:50] @docteh: yes [07:50] shawncm217: go for it, dont try 64bit though o/c [07:51] fatsopit: what version of ubuntu, 10.04? [07:51] I never knew metacity has a compositing manager until i installed cairo-dock yesterday which automatically enabaled it for me [07:51] @docteh: ubuntu 8.04... on second thought I think it was the 2nd user [07:51] ActionParsnip still the same problem [07:51] fatsopit: if you're using gnome, it should just work [07:52] Shawncm217: if you use lxde it will be more responsive due to lightness [07:52] ???? [07:52] @docteh: yes but some problem yesterday with gnome [07:52] thune3: having same things happen with my audio powersave module trying to set it to 1 [07:52] Gothicsatan, Docteh: thank you [07:52] shawncm217: the netbook versioin of ubuntu is made to be very portible/user friendly.. if u want to run more than internet/email/im, install the standard, and choose the lowest visual settings.. it will run awesome.. [07:52] and cairo-dock is damn light on CPU, as opposed to AWN [07:53] Lazaro: what dide the command output? [07:53] Nmvictor: so is simdock. Doesn't need compositing either [07:53] NeonLightning: i'm looking of the setting of laptop_mode conflicts with these settings [07:53] Gothicsatan, is the netbook version made to be upgraded like the non-netbook versions are? [07:54] I restarted pressing shift but maverick never showed up [07:54] ActionParsnip: I'll be sure to give LXDE a look, but I am a bit of a GNOME/GTK+ fan. ;) [07:54] holocene: i can't say for sure, but i've tried the netbook version, and it's so simplified, it's like.. whoa.. wth [07:54] NeonLightning: what is your laptop_mode value? [07:54] Shawncm217: lxde uses gtk [07:54] thune3: thanks. trying to get some extra battery life out of my msi wind [07:54] Lazaro: did you see the maverick kernel? [07:54] thune3: where am i looking for that? [07:54] nope [07:54] Gothicsatan, ok. will try it. [07:55] NeonLightning: /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode [07:55] sorry [07:55] thune3: 0 [07:55] ActionParsnip: i tried that but i dint like the idea that i have to define lauchers on my own, i cant simply drag&drop icons to it, besides its not extensible, too simple for the desktop.I'd rather "Gnome-panel" that simdock [07:55] holocene: imo, just use the basic, turn down the visuals.. u'll be happier than using the netbook version.. but if all u do is check email and whatnot, then netbook is the way to go [07:55] maybe I dont know how to identify it [07:56] I prefer icewm on my netbook but thats just me [07:56] !info linux-image maverick [07:56] linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image..

[07:56] Gothicsatan: i'd say its prefrence i found the une stuff a pain i went back to alternating between xfce and fluxbox [07:56] Lazaro: I would be 2.6.35 in the grub menu [07:56] is their gnome2-globalmenu for Lucid? [07:57] Lazaro: if you don't see that then you need to install it [07:57] !find globalmenu [07:57] NeonLightning: agreed. Preference.. but some don't know what they want/need [07:57] Package/file globalmenu does not exist in lucid [07:57] I saw that ,but when I go to about gnome , it says lucid [07:57] I'm having a problem with a flash app that worked fine earlier today. Is there any sort of cache somewhere I can delete to make sure its completely a fresh load? [07:57] hmm if i can dredge up 10 or 15gb i'll try maverick [07:57] Nmvictor: I think there's a ppa for it, or a deb [07:58] !info gnome2-globalmenu [07:58] Package gnome2-globalmenu does not exist in lucid [07:58] I've cleared all browser cache there must be a flash cache somethign i';m missing.

[07:58] hi, i use openldap... i have to create a local user that is already in ldap db... someone knows how add it in my local machine? when i do adduser ... i get users exists... i need to reload users cache! [07:58] one second [07:58] ActionParsnip: My bad. I should have just said I'm a fan of GNOME. However, I am looking at LXDE now. I am a little concerned that LXDE won't support some of the Ubuntu features that I understand are integrated into GNOME, like Ubuntu One. [07:58] thune3: i've also noticed my system keeps thinking its got critically low battery when i unplug [07:59] Nmvictor: maybe not on the default repos but I use it in maverick so it will be available for lucid [07:59] !info xcompmngr [07:59] Package xcompmngr does not exist in lucid [07:59] Or is there a way to sandbox a browser just to make sure its cache related? [07:59] NeonLightning: looks like some daemon keeps resetting it, if you plug in do the settings stay? [07:59] Shawncm217: its just a different desktop. Everything under the hood is identical [08:00] thune3: gimmie a few gotta find a outlet in this room [08:00] ActionParsnip 2.6.35-2-generic #2-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 8 19:15:10 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [08:00] Shawncm217: so you can press alt+f2 and launch ubuntuone or see if its in the menu and use it [08:00] alt+f2 is the run something dialog? [08:00] Lazaro: that's the maverick kernel. You are using maverick. Your support is now in #ubuntu+1 [08:01] Docteh: indeed it is [08:01] how do I switch pidgin to my default IM client in the latest ubuntu? [08:02] thune3: nope still after a few seconds it set it back [08:02] ActionParsnip then why it says lucid when I press about gnome ? [08:02] everything's still defaulted to empathy [08:02] ActionParsnip: i was in their lauchpad page yesterday and i found out that their are no download for that project, but their was a post that was instructing users to add the ppa on intrepid in /etc/apt/sources.list . so i did that but instead changed the "intrepid" to "lucid". I got some erros rearding PUBLIC_KEY on doing sudo apt-get update [08:02] trollboy: what sort of everything? [08:02] ho can anyone help me with auto code indent and balance braces kinda plugin for gedit? [08:02] he wants to remove the empathy defaults [08:03] Lazaro: no idea and as long as your software sources all say maverick you are golden. Check sources.list as well as in software sources so they all say maverick instead of lucid [08:03] empathy is tied into the ubuntu lucid message center.. using pidgeon stops that [08:03] u have to remove empathy [08:03] I use pidgin and I have removed empathy [08:03] can anyone help me with gedit? [08:03] oh the popups? [08:04] piyushmishra, check gnome live for gedit plugins. dunno where the page is, but isn't hard to find via google [08:04] piyushmishra: what's up doc [08:04] yeah, i'm guessing; docteh [08:04] if I click on trollboy on the top right of the menu bar, I get a chat option... I click it and get empathy not pidgin. I prefer pidgin over empathy. Pidgin is failing to flash on msg now, and as there's no indicator in the systray anymore, I'm missing msg's [08:04] Gothicsatan: what is this message centre? [08:04] piyushmishra: what's up? [08:04] ActionParsnip yeah software sources says maverick everywhere [08:04] ActionParsnip: HEY! [08:04] bye all [08:04] ActionParsnip thank u brother, see ya [08:04] Lazaro: then you are on maverick and this channel is no longer your source of support [08:05] trollboy: i suspect the menu bar thing is hard coded for empathy or don't run it, but the notifications not showing up is a problem [08:05] p1oooop: yo yo yo [08:05] ActionParsnip: nice to meet you again, oh great master [08:05] LOL [08:05] p1oooop ,Blue1: Coding for enjoystudies [08:05] p1oooop: I'm just a user like you dude [08:05] Hehe [08:05] ActionParsnip: In Ubunto Lucid, there is a message center (kinda, it's what i call it) that kinda groups up facebook, all ur IM's and email to 1 icon in the 'system tray' [08:05] i cant seem to find info regariding the key for gnome2-globalmenu in launchpad, can anyone please help me with that [08:05] could someone link me to a default /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl file? [08:06] Gothicsatan: yeah pidgin hides in there sometimes [08:06] trollboy: hmm, you mean innotify is no longer doing anything pidgin? [08:06] I've installed ruby1.9.1 and to use I have to run ruby1.9.1. How can I run it as just ruby? Must I make a simlink by myself or there is a less hackish way? [08:06] trollboy: I believe there is a plugin for innotify. install the plugin pack for pidgin from the repositories [08:06] s/simlink/symlink [08:06] !alternatives [08:06] ActionParsnip: he wants to change to Pidgeon, not sure how to do that.. they both seem the same to me [08:06] To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. [08:06] well previously, pidgin had a little icon in the top that flashed on msg.. now all systray support in pidgin is gone [08:06] elnur: try that [08:07] Docteh, just a sec [08:07] cause Lucid has it all combined [08:07] trollboy: you mean like innotify or something? like if a song changes in rhythmbox? [08:07] email/IM/facebook(and the like) [08:07] Gothicsatan: cool :) [08:07] like my xchat.. [08:08] bye oh great master [08:08] it's sortal like that p1oooop [08:08] sorta* [08:08] right now its got a icon next to the network icon and on the other side of it is quick synergy [08:08] and its great [08:08] anything that I can change fan control with? [08:08] if you guys say my name, the icon flashes and I'm happy [08:08] how can i access where firefox keeps its bookmarks from cli please [08:08] but pidgin has no such icon anymore [08:08] * owner bricky [08:08] nor does it flash on the bottom app list [08:09] I have no problem with pidgin, except the occasional crash, and that's only because I enabled a few unstable plugins [08:09] trollboy Empathy is Pidgeon.. [08:09] sorta [08:09] Gothicsatan, no.. its not [08:09] is their a way to tweak the metacity compositor? [08:09] I don't like empathy, there's a difference [08:09] !info metacity [08:09] metacity (source: metacity): lightweight GTK+ window manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 245 kB, installed size 664 kB [08:09] nytol === owner is now known as bricky [08:09] trollboy: i used to like pidgeon better, now i'm suck with empathy cause it just works with everything.. [08:10] trollboy: usage over visuals [08:10] Docteh, I tried `sudo update-alternatives --config ruby` and it told me, "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for ruby." [08:10] thune3: out of ideas? [08:10] yeah, that's the thing Gothicsatan [08:10] trollboy: me neither, but I'm not sure about the flash thing... I have an audio alert instead... [08:10] I don't want to have ubuntu decide what im client I use [08:10] easier that way [08:10] elnur: odd [08:10] trollboy: did you remove empathy yet? [08:11] yaeh [08:11] i've spent alot of time on google, using ubuntu lucid 10.04 and i have all my messengers/email working just fine [08:11] i want to change my GDM theme in Lucid, is that possible? [08:11] now the chat clients thing does nothing [08:11] I'm searching pidgin plugins [08:11] trollboy: oh mu... [08:11] my [08:11] nmvictor: theme support has changed drastically from Hardry to Lucid [08:11] I'd rathe have innotify notify me... [08:12] there is a plugin to do that. [08:12] anyone use gmail video chat in browser? [08:12] Gothicsatan: so its not possible to do that [08:12] Docteh, seems like I have to hack it with a symlink, right? [08:12] mokul: does it work? [08:12] nmvictor: u can.. but don't expect much support yet.. [08:12] elnur: yea, change the symlink in /etc/alternatives [08:12] hi, I shared my folder in the network, how it can be accesibble from the other comupters? [08:12] Gothicsatan: how can i [08:12] NeonLightning: i have ideas, and i'm looking but it's not coming fast [08:13] i cant do that so i m asking "anyone use gmail video chat in browser?" [08:13] Facairz84: You could use a simple VPN like Hamachi. [08:13] farciarz84: it's accessible through the network... places > network [08:13] Docteh, you know, there is NO alternatives for ruby ;) [08:13] Docteh, so, there is no symlink in /etc/alternatives [08:13] nmvictor: System>Preferences>Apperance [08:13] farciarz84: it's also accessible through windows machines ;) [08:13] nmvictor: that's how i change it.. [08:13] ohhhhh [08:14] p1oooop: sorry, but there is only windows-network without my machine [08:14] thune3: no worries(its already quarter after 3 in the morning here so i'm not likely to sleep tonight anyway) [08:14] so you get ruby1.9.1 and it doesn't try and take over ruby, thats odd [08:14] Gothicsatan: i meant GDM theme, the login manager... [08:14] p1oooop: can it be accessible trough ip adress? [08:14] farciarz84: I prefer hostname [08:14] p1oooop: whatever [08:14] nmvictor: they removed alot of that from the lucid build [08:14] thats interesting [08:14] farciarz84: //(host hame)/(share) [08:14] ditto NeonLightning [08:14] p1oooop: thx [08:15] farciarz84: no prob. [08:15] Gothicsatan: too bad [08:15] elnur: i guess it makes sense, last time i installed ruby it didn't even make a ruby -> ruby1.8 symlink ;) [08:15] nmvictor: i know, i loved that customization.. [08:15] nmvictor: i had found something online about how to modify it, made my OS not want to boot, so i sugguest not doing that [08:16] Gothicsatan: thanks [08:16] having a problem with gnome scheduler [08:16] p1oooop: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered [08:16] grimly: fire away [08:16] Gothicsatan: i had enough of reinstalling, dont wanna do that again [08:17] Docteh, it's just this way: ubuntu (debian) uses ruby1.8 as the current version, so, if you install a package called just ruby, it will install ruby1.8 and calling `ruby` will work [08:17] farciarz84: hmm, seems like you already mounted it [08:17] nmvictor: lucid don't wannna let u customize it like u could before.. but u still have a certain lvl.. [08:17] p1oooop: can you tell me how I can access the directory from windows?/ [08:17] farciarz84: go to your /home/(your name)/.gvfs/ folder and see if it's there [08:17] Yo yo yo [08:18] farciarz84: yeah, map network drive...

[09:04] Flannel: k, soz [09:04] Gothicsatan: where you live [09:04] Is there a CLI version of the "find fastest mirror" feature for ubuntu server? [09:04] bricky: What's the issue? [09:04] bricky: not appropriate for this channel [09:04] Flannel: he just rooted me and screwed up my OS by the looks of it.. [09:04] =( [09:04] bricky: What makes you think that? [09:05] Flannel: cause i'm the devil lol [09:05] bricky, are you behind a router? [09:05] Flannel: he randomly said 'wb' and I said my system was screwed and he followed it up with a 'Yw' [09:05] xerox1: This won't help for updating the grub.cfg (which is what update-grub does), but for re-installing grub to the boot sector you can do "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" (not /dev/sda1) where your Ubuntu partition is mounted to /mnt [09:05] Type-O: no [09:05] bricky: Alright, so apart from that, what is messed up with your system? [09:05] Type-O maybe It was dumb of me to log on as owner. [09:06] Flannel: my close buttons are gone, half my X is missing, no shortcut keys are available [09:06] brian, you mean root? === Gothicsatan|AFK is now known as Gothicsatan [09:06] bricky, * [09:06] bricky: And what were you doing last when this happened? [09:06] anyoneofus: Hows it going? [09:06] Flannel: I was just trying to install my broadcom driver, then before reboot [09:07] it claimed to be looking for ongoing or unsaved changes [09:07] bricky: what was wrong with the old one? [09:07] i have a ati radeon 7500 graphics with ubuntu 10.04.i dont have any graphics driver installed as of now as its not available.but whenever i try to watch some movies in full screen,the whole screen seems unclear.how do i solve this issue? [09:07] Jordan_U: i did something but i dont know if it is worked. i will restrt now my computer. if it is not worked i will come back. thank you! [09:07] Gothicsatan: nothing, but thanks for helping me out man, lol [09:07] do you have telnetd running? [09:07] Gothicsatan: im gonna get you back one way or another, [09:08] Type-O probably do [09:08] chatur: there's a fixx [09:08] check [09:08] bricky: Did you install openssh server? [09:08] bricky: lol, thanks for the warning [09:08] Gothicsatan:how can i do that. [09:08] Flannel: I did get the recent updates so most likely but not directly [09:08] chatur, maybe its a settings problem, try using vlc [09:08] chatur: System> Administration > Hardware Drivers [09:09] chatur: Install the ATI Propriatary drivers. [09:09] bricky: It won't be installed without you doing so. So, I think it's highly unlikely that anything happened other than things breaking. [09:09] Flannel: it just seems odd he would say those words in that order, lol [09:09] bricky: does `ps aux | grep sshd` return anything (anything other than the grep line itself) [09:10] Flannel: oh yeah, I cant use terminal either. [09:10] bricky, I suggest setting up iptables with firestarter if you don't have a hardware firewall/nat [09:10] ah there we go [09:10] bricky, you said thanks, and then Gothicsatan said you're welcome. [09:10] its working again [09:10] chatur: it will have a button to "activate" the drivers. [09:10] chatur, you dont need any drivers, your card uses the open source driver , do you see something in admin>hardware drivers? [09:10] jo-erlend mis-tell? [09:10] I sugest im going to sell this laptop and buy a new one tomorrow [09:10] Gothicsatan? [09:11] bricky: i'll buy for 20 bucks :P [09:11] Indus,Gothicsatan:i have vlc installed in my system already.and admin>hardware drivers does not show up any drivers which can be enabled [09:11] but thanks Flannel [09:11] bricky, how much? [09:11] jo-erlend: that's me [09:11] Gothicsatan, bricky: drop it. [09:11] or take it elsewhere. [09:11] chatur, yes because there isnt any driver available for your card, and you are already using the open source driver [09:11] Type-O you dont want this one unless you want to re-seal the heatsinks [09:11] chatur, in vlc, have you set the video filter options ? [09:11] ouch? [09:12] chatur, and output xv etc [09:12] its got a good screen, keyboard, etc, lol thats about it tho [09:12] I'll stick with mine ^_^ [09:12] chatur: VLC has nothing to do with your video drivers.. [09:13] im buying a new one but this is just out rageous whats happening here [09:13] chatur: AMD/ATI supports linux.. u can either use the built in software to install the drivers, or download straight from AMD [09:14] bricky: There's no way your heatsinks became unseated from someone in this channel. Please drop the subject, thanks. [09:14] quote: i have a ati radeon 7500 graphics with ubuntu 10.04.i dont have any graphics driver installed [09:14] MikeChelen, it works! :) i removed the .ssh/known_hosts entry [09:14] install the drivers [09:15] Gothicsatan: chatur: there is no driver to install for such and old GPU [09:15] the preinstalled radeon driver is all there is [09:15] crdlb: a 7800? i think hes confused between nvidia and ATI === Gigolo is now known as Harun [09:16] i have an ATI Radeon 4200HD Mobility, and i had the option [09:16] lspci | grep -i vga [09:16] go to the ATI site, and download the driver [09:16] Gothicsatan: a radeon 7500 is very old [09:17] crdlb,Gothicsatin,indus:if graphic driver isnt the problem.then how can i modify the settings in VLC [09:17] ? [09:17] crdlb: so is the Nvidia 7500... [09:17] crdlb: true... so the default driver should take care of it, but they should still have something [09:17] i tried downloading Ubuntu windows installer but it keeps saying 'cant download metafile and therefore ISO abort download' [09:17] chatur: tool ==> preferences [09:17] chatur: what galerien said [09:17] ^^ [09:18] Gothicsatan: there never was a proprietary driver for the 7500 [09:18] not even when it was new [09:18] crdlb: u sure? [09:18] hi i have a new harddisk, i try to install ubuntu, parted -l show that the new harddisk partition is a lvm , can i install ubuntu on this, the installer show on point 4 nothing, must i create the partition with live cd [09:18] <{g}> Hello Ubuntu! When I telnet to another computer, my terminal title switches to me@othermachine. But when I exit telnet, it doesnt switch back. Any idea why? I have to say that new terminals only display "terminal" in the title. Maybe thats related? [09:19] People, I once asked a question, on how to reduce excessive memory consumption in Pidgin. My Pidgin took 120 MB RAM, and I didn't find any way to solve this. Even by reinstalling this, I couldn't get a fix. Now, I found one. If anybody has this problem, use sudo apt-get purge pidgin to remove it completely, and then reinstall it. Now, remove the .purplr folder in your folder, and you're done. Now Pidgin takes only 11 MB RAM, :D Thought it might help peop [09:19] Gothicsatan: they originally supported 8500 and up, then only 9500 and up, and now only HD **** cards [09:19] * .purple === ziroday` is now known as ziroday [09:19] crdlb: figures. [09:20] chatur: do you have desktop effects (compiz) on? turning that off might improve video performance [09:20] rocket16, I liked empathy in lucid than pidgin which was in my prev jaunty [09:20] crdlb,gothicsatan,indus:Thanks guys...i tried the settings you ve told.....its working perfectly. [09:21] http://wubi-installer.org/ why cant it download the metalink and thereofre the ISO [09:21] chatur: Your welcome.. enjoy some movies now.. [09:21] chatur: :) [09:21] !by [09:21] !list [09:21] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [09:21] much i better than before...i ve to test it out in some other movies as well. [09:22] chatur.. did u download from the ati site? [09:22] chatur: do you mean setting the output to 'xv' fixed it? [09:22] ya [09:22] chatur: for me the best setting is GNU/Linux framebuffer [09:22] hello [09:22] hi guys. anybody knows, did i can use grep and cat inside tar, zip archives? [09:22] chatur: that should have been the default :/ [09:22] lol, specify,. so many replies [09:22] might help someone who's back-quiet [09:23] vishaltelangre: Well, depends on choice. Empathy in lucid has a nice theme, of Adium. Telepathy control and Adium themes might beautify Empathy, but IRC features are really basic there. Also, Pidgin can be themed like Adium too, :) [09:23] wb bricky ;) [09:23] hello :) [09:23] Gothicsatan :) [09:23] fags [09:23] Hi kiamo, welcome to Ubunutu IRC [09:23] :/ [09:23] thank you sir [09:23] yw [09:24] kjfdajkafdjfd [09:24] jfds [09:24] jf [09:24] ffjfsf [09:24] f [09:24] f [09:24] now on to business :P [09:24] SailorReality: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:24] how do I determine what version of grub I have installed? I tried grub-setup --version, and it says 1.98, however I don't have a menu.lst file which makes me think it is version 2... [09:24] SailorReality: Please don't flood, this is a support area. [09:24] rocket16 can i plz get support for my windows installer [09:24] kiamo: 1.98 is a newest version [09:24] of ubuntu [09:24] rocket16, yeah, it's unable to open new private message pane/window there... But nice! [09:25] rocket16, prev comment is about *IRC in empathy [09:25] manishe, oh ok. I thought there was a version 2 [09:25] SailorReality: Sure, [09:25] vishaltelangre: Yes, :) [09:25] rocket16: it says 'cant download metalink and therefore ISO download aborted' [09:25] kiamo: 1.98 is a beta of 2 [09:25] Gothicsatan: turns out it was in recovery mode , lol =( [09:26] manishe, I dont get a grub menu when starting up, how do I enable that and add my windows partition to it? [09:26] bricky: how'd u manage that? [09:26] anybody knows, did i can use grep and cat inside tar, zip archives? [09:26] manishe: No, it is not. Just like 0.97 (the last release of grub legacy) was not a beta [09:26] SailorReality: I see, better to download an ISO image of Ubuntu, and then burn it to a CD, and install from it. It will be better, error-free and easy. [09:26] Jordan_U: I see [09:26] *sigh, another lesson learned the hard way :) [09:26] kiamo, fix it using ubuntu's live cd... [09:26] vishaltelangre: Here is a Screenshot of how Pidgin can be made to look like Adium/Empathy http://imagebin.org/98910 [09:26] kiamo, grub or grub2? [09:27] rocket16: i installed my Ubuntu from an SD card [09:27] rocket16: I tried making a DVD of it but I downloaded the CD versin idk if that matters, but it never showed up on the DVD [09:27] vishaltelangre, 1.98 lol [09:27] rocket16: runs great [09:27] Gothicsatan: Ah, great. I once decided t try, but then decided to make an USB Installer, as it is somewhat faster than CD in installation. [09:27] Gothicsatan: if I only knew how lol [09:28] rocket16: google up 'Unetbootin' [09:28] Gothicsatan: I tried that already, :) And have made it too. [09:28] rocket16: will take an ISO of ubuntu and make it a bootable SD/USB [09:28] kiamo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [09:28] bricky: doh [09:28] vishaltelangre, aha! thanks I'll take a look [09:28] Gothicsatan: Yes, I did use Unetbootin to make USB installer, :) [09:28] trupheenix, ah great, nice catch :) [09:29] kiamo: "sudo update-grub" should detect your windows install and add a menu entry for it [09:29] is there a way to see make menuconfig options for my current kernel, to see the difference between my ubuntu machine and another running a different kernel? [09:29] Indus,Gothicsatan:i tried changing those settings...Improve the quality at all. [09:29] Jordan_U: Sorry, but won't that be sudo apt-get update grub2? [09:29] Jordan_U: Sorry , I meant, sudo update-grub2 [09:29] Gothicsatan,Indus:i tried changing those settings...Improve the quality at all. [09:30] chatur: i'm not really 'up to par' on the older cards, so maybe someone else may be able to help you more, sorry :/ [09:30] rocket16, great it supports opening a side pane, can I configure my empathy as like your pidgin so as I chat on IRC from there? [09:30] rocket16: update-grub2 just calls update-grub (try running "cat $(which update-grub2)" [09:30] k thank you === vahid is now known as kiamo2 [09:31] if I use Konqueror as an sftp client, it constantly keeps asking me for the password as I drill down directories, but I don't get that when I ssh into the same remote machine, this happens on a couple of remote machines, is it a bug in Konqueror or do I have to set something up differently [09:31] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu and it's not working. If anyone isn't busy, I could use some help. [09:31] !ask | garylieberman [09:31] garylieberman: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:31] Jordan_U: Thanks, :) [09:31] Jordan_U, yay it did :) [09:31] thanks [09:31] irvken: download filezilla, it's a great FTP Client with native linux support, and has all encryption types [09:31] kiamo: You're welcome. [09:32] rocket16: You're welcome. [09:32] How do I change my ident... so that a /whois Ascavasaion shows soemthing like elflord@whatever.com [09:32] garylieberman: So, what's the error? [09:32] Jordan_U: :) [09:32] k [09:32] Well I installed Ubuntu and it told me to restart. Now it's just giving me a purple screen and a mouse. I can move the mouse, it doesn't seem to be crashing or freezing, but I can't do anything. This is on a seperate laptop from the one I am using to type this, obviously. [09:33] Gothicsatan, Nautilus itself allows FTP support, just open File > connect to server menu [09:33] Jordan_U, I just rebooted my laptop and grub menu appeared with windows choice, but then I get error: no such device: fc...blah [09:33] hd1,1 cannot get c/h/s values [09:34] vishaltelangre: Filezilla is alot easier to maintain FTP servers, and dont' require u to input the password multiple times, like he was having a problem with.. i <3 that prog [09:34] garylieberman: I see, does this happen everytime? [09:34] I have only restarted once, it requires me to hard shut down. [09:34] Gothicsatan, I use both! LOL! :P [09:34] so I would prefer to not have to restart much. [09:34] vishaltelangre: lol [09:34] hi all [09:35] It appears to be running the OS, as the screen just went black due to inactivity and lit up again when I moved the mouse. [09:35] There just isn't anything on the desktop. [09:35] garylieberman: No problem, try it again, and it will work. In case it doesn't, press Ctrl+Alt+F2, and login to shell there, and type: killall -user username (username is your username there) [09:35] garylieberman, no panels also? [09:35] no panels as well yes. But thanks, I'll restart. [09:36] garylieberman: did you try to install another WM? [09:36] garylieberman: That happens because some applets fail to load sometimes, this will fix them up. After you login, reset the panels: [09:36] !resetpanel | garylieberman [09:36] garylieberman: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:36] irvken: there is a "Remember password" checkbox when you login via SFTP in Konqueror, I believe. There should be, at least. [09:37] do DVD Isos different from CD ISos [09:37] DVD iso contains more package than CDs [09:37] does anyone know what "error: no such device. error: hd1,1 cannot get C/H/S values." means when I try and boot windows from grub menu? [09:37] SailorReality: The DVD isos contain a whole bunch of translations for Ubuntu. Other than that, they're mostly the same [09:37] but the core package is the same in two of them [09:37] Excuse me if this seems rude, but everyone seems to be giving me different advice. I'm in the ctrl+alt+F2 menu now. [09:38] should I try everything suggested or just one? [09:38] FireCrotch: I downloaded the CD Iso but i only had a DVD and then i tried to burn it to the DVD but it wouldnt work [09:38] garylieberman: did you try to install another WM? [09:38] FireCrotch, yeah, doesn't matter how many times I tick it, I still get prompted for the password, Filezilla, which I had installed does work better, but I prefer the Konqueror interface, c'est la vie [09:38] kiamo2: Try asking in #grub [09:38] Jordan_U, good call :) [09:38] !resetpanel | garylieberman [09:38] garylieberman: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [09:39] what is a WM exactly? [09:39] Windows Manager [09:39] garylieberman, just do this from single user (command line) mode, to return to GUI press ctrl+alt+F7 [09:40] garylieberman: instead of Gnome or KDE, u installed Enlightenment or fluxbox [09:41] is installing hard [09:41] kiamo2: It's a slow channel, but if you wait long enough (sometimes hours) you'll almost always get a good answer. [09:41] wut do u have 2 do [09:41] I don't think I have a way of installing those. My OS appears to consist of nothing but a purple screen and a mouse right now. Let me try resetting first. [09:42] SailorReality: What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? The disc doesnt get burned? You can't boot from the disc after successfully creating it? [09:42] garylieberman, ctrl+alt+f1 then try above command by ubottu [09:42] I lost my Me Menu. How can I get it again in the top panel [09:42] ? [09:42] huyngochoang1: .. [09:43] huyngochoang1: right click and add to panel.. [09:43] huyngochoang1, add to panel > main menu [09:43] that ^ [09:43] irvken: Try putting at least the username into the SFTP url, like this: sftp://username@example.com [09:43] It asked me for my login. I entered my login, and it encountered some sort of error [09:44] irvken: if it's an FTPES, i've noticed Konquerer dont like to accept the certificates, filezilla will however [09:44] garylieberman, login: | password: [09:44] now it's repeating the same script over and over, consisting of but not limited to 'failed command: READ DMA' and 'error: {UNC} [09:44] It's not giving me that option. It's just telling me error, over and over again. [09:45] After I entered my username. [09:45] FireCrotch: well i burned it to the DVD and then I went to my drive and cicked on it and it was empty [09:45] garylieberman: sounds like a Hard Drive issue [09:45] garylieberman, Oh...! [09:45] I used this same hard drive to run Windows earlier today [09:45] SailorReality: What program are you using to burn the disc? [09:45] I just now formatted it. [09:46] garylieberman: my hard drive has bad sectors, i had to format over and over again to find the bad ones, then format around them to make it work.. if it's a bad hard drive.. [09:46] SailorReality, I think you forgotten to write your data to DVD! lol! :P [09:47] Im using NAruto [09:47] i mean Nero [09:47] SailorReality, use brasero to create images and write them to CD/DVD.. [09:47] vishalelagre: i clicked burn data to DVD and it went through the proces [09:47] wow [09:47] SailorReality, nero? on ubuntu or windows? [09:47] How do you locate a bad sector and format around them? [09:47] windows [09:48] SailorReality, .iso image? [09:48] yea [09:48] garylieberman: mostly guess and check, if it freezes and messes up, ur not far enough [09:49] oh [09:49] I was able to enter my username and password successfully before. [09:49] garylieberman: i had to format my 500gig drive from the end, and leave the first 100gigs empty/unformatted for it to work [09:49] SailorReality: I have had that problem before (although I was burning from within Ubuntu). It's most likely cheap, crappy discs. [09:50] SailorReality, possibly you check: write image to disc > record or write | I'm having very less knowledge in nero handling, sorry! :( [09:50] ok thanks [09:50] garylieberman: but that was me, and my case.. it may not be like that for u.. twas only a suggestion.. if u know that your hard drive has sustained dmg... then u have to go with it and do what u can [09:50] well, is there anything else I can try? [09:51] garylieberman: you can try to format using either the first or last half of the drive, and go from there.. [09:51] garylieberman: trial and error [09:51] moin [09:52] are you sure it's a hard drive problem? [09:52] garylieberman: DRM error sounds Hard Drive to me.. [09:52] I had this same problem on my current laptop when I tried installing Ubuntu alongside Windows. [09:52] mysql-server package on lucid seems to be borked? [09:52] garylieberman: u can also google the 'Ultimate boot CD' and run tests to see where ur system is failing [09:53] beejeebus: what's "borked" about it? [09:53] It doesn't say DRM error [09:53] it says failed command: read DMA [09:53] doesn't start [09:53] Hi, i've got a fresh install of 10.04, but firefox just flashes and segfaults - any ideas? [09:53] sorry, gathering more useful info now [09:53] Luciusmare: u need to update [09:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/551130 [09:55] Luciusmare: might need to uninstall the current firefox version, and use a package manager to re-install latest version [09:55] is Wine able to access usb devices? [09:55] http://pastebin.com/NRvWwnwj [09:55] nucc1: u don't need wine for that [09:55] the upgrade process is stuck at that point [09:55] Hallo there. I recently installed 10.04LTS on my MacBook Pro, however the issue I'm having is getting WiFi to work, I've tried manually extracting files from the Broadcom B43 driver, and copying them to /lib/firmware, but I still have no luck in getting it working. === mh_ is now known as conscioususer [09:56] donny? [09:56] Gothicsatan: i'll try that, thanks [09:57] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/551097 [09:57] donaldelly: are there any 'hot keys' that enable the wifi? or motherboard settings? [09:59] Gothicsatan: There aren't any 'hotkeys' to enable/disable the radio, I'm not sure about motherboard settings, seeing with a Mac you don't get much control over that === KungFuBear is now known as KungFuBear|Sleep [09:59] awesome, i'm going to have to kill -9 :-( [09:59] Okay, I tried the earlier suggestion that included 'killall gnome-panel' [09:59] I got the response 'gnome-panel: no process found' [10:00] donaldkelly: yeah, i'm not very 'up to par' with mac's but i had issues with my gateway, it's got a hot key that i had to fix for the onboard to work.. are u running multiple network adapters? [10:00] hi [10:00] does anyone know a free service for tomboy notes sync? [10:01] Gothicsatan: I had a pc with a hotkey for it, so I'm aware what of meant, I'm not running any other network interfaces besides the broadcom wifi chip, and the standard ethernet connection. When I boot from my DVD, it shows the broadcom driver, with fwcutter, but if I try and activate it, It fails. [10:01] donaldkelly: what version of Ubuntu? === conscioususer_ is now known as conscioususer [10:02] Sandking: uhm, Ubuntu one? [10:02] Gothicsatan: I'm running 10.04LTS, off a DVD I was sent through the mail. [10:02] Sandking: I sync my tomboy notes on Windows, OSX and Ubuntu to Ubuntu One. [10:02] donaldkelly: so ur running a live dvd or instal? [10:03] how do i edit the shortcuts in ubuntu netbook edition? [10:03] popey: i saw that i can do that with dropbox, but i'll check ubuntu one [10:03] ie if i need to add some command line args to them [10:03] Okay, I tried everything suggested here. I still have no panel, no nothing. Just a mouse and a purple screen. Help? [10:03] Sandking: you can't sync notes in the same way with dropbox [10:03] Gothicsatan: I have an actual install on a second partition. [10:03] Sandking: tomboy uses the snowy server protocol developed by the tomboy people, dropbox does not [10:03] garylieberman: sounds like X isn't even starting [10:04] what does that mean? [10:04] donaldkelly: hmm [10:04] popey: http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/synchronizing-tomboy-with-dropbox.html [10:04] it seems like it works [10:04] Sandking: yup, that's just file syncing, not recommended by the tomboy developers [10:04] Sandking: it does, I have used it, but it goes horribly wrong in some situations [10:05] Sandking: especially when a note is edited in two places === kasun is now known as Guest37485 [10:05] popey: thanks for pointing that out [10:05] Sandking: np [10:05] donaldkelly: what happens when u type into a terminal 'ifconfig' [10:05] anyone know how to edit the command line of desktop shortcuts in ubuntu netbook edition?? [10:06] popey: can i use ubuntu one on windows machine? [10:06] donaldkelly: iwconfig* [10:06] Sandking: for syncing tomboy notes, yes [10:06] Sandking: i sync my tomboy notes on windows, osx and ubuntu [10:06] Gothicsatan: I can dual boot into my install and find out. :p [10:07] donaldkelly: need to see if linux even see's ur network adapter\ [10:07] popey: i'm looking at this ubuntu one and to be honest aside 2 gb of sync memory and tomboy notes - is there anything worth looking at? [10:07] Sandking: it's music store [10:07] donaldkelly: iwconfig pulls up the wireless connections, if they are connected.. and whatnot [10:07] Gothicsatan: I'll boot in and see what it says and report back. back in 5. [10:07] Sandking: they're adding features with each release of Ubuntu. [10:07] donaldkelly: k [10:08] popey: it looks like it has a lot of potential when in sync with os [10:09] I just restart for the 4th time. Still no panel or anything. I tried all advice here. [10:09] Hi [10:09] popey: is there some address book / web pages marking there by any chance? :] [10:09] garylieberman: longshot, but hit 'ALT+F2' and type in "gnome-panel" [10:10] hello all [10:10] I'm guessing you mean ctrl alt F2? [10:10] can ubuntu scan from canon imagerunner 2018 over network? [10:10] no [10:10] alt+f2 [10:10] should pull up the 'run' command [10:10] guzu: does xsane support that scanner? if "yes", yes [10:11] Gothicsatan: lo, eth0 and pan0 all return "no wireless extensions" [10:11] Alt F2 does nothing. [10:11] is it adviced to have ufw running? [10:12] donaldkelly: then it's something with the macbook hardware.. might wanna hit google for a bit, see what u pull up.. search for "Ubuntu +Macbook (ur network driver) [10:12] Where do I find sambashares by default [10:12] ? [10:12] Gothicsatan: i'll try google and then the Apple sub-forum in the ubuntu forums. [10:12] I mounted a smb share via the file browser [10:12] but I can't find it using the shell [10:12] garylieberman: i'm lost, sorry :/ [10:13] donaldkelly: sorry couldn't be much more help :/ [10:13] llutz: i don't "see" the scanner in scanimage -L [10:14] donaldkelly: but that's not to say someone else in this chat can't help ya.. never give up. :) [10:14] Why never give up exactly? Windows is a much easier OS and there are far fewer errors. [10:15] garylieberman: why don't you use it then? [10:15] [10:15] I wanted to give Ubuntu a try, I heard a lot of good things about it. [10:15] [10:15] i run linux cause i like it.. if i wanted 'easy mode' i'd spend 300 bucks on software that's "sorta good" [10:15] ubuntu is awesome, community is nice, and support isn't lacking. [10:15] and is always improving [10:16] well, no offense but support seems to lack here [10:16] tfe fgfywetu86iotyy [10:16] I presented a problem and got shrugging shoulders. [10:16] for your problem.. with what we have to go off of.. [10:16] You're asking for support at 4am in central USA [10:16] Gothicsatan: http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1401290&page=2 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/395630 seems to be the most likely fix. i'm going to hope it works. hah [10:17] Meaning you'll get support from a specific portion of the worl.d. [10:17] we don't have exact probs.. to me, sound like ur X isn't even booting.. and i know u don't wanna hear this.. but maybe u got a bad burn of the disc [10:17] garylieberman: you realize that all guys helping here are volunteers? [10:17] garylieberman: history teaches us that you can't have both have freedom and easy in the same time [10:17] garylieberman: what is your problem [10:17] highfive to llutz; guzu [10:17] I'm not accusing anyone of anything here. I was simply pointing out a flaw in his argument. He said support isn't lacking, I found it lacking. [10:17] humf [10:17] hallow [10:18] I don't have anything against Ubuntu except for the fact that it won't work. [10:18] well, ur in an IRC, with live ppl [10:18] brb! [10:18] get that with windows? === Farkie[Away] is now known as Farkie [10:18] and like above said, we're volenteering [10:18] trying to just help [10:18] Well, with windows I enter the problem into Chrome and I get an immediate answer with exactly what I need to do. And it always works. [10:19] I don't mean to offend anyone here. I'm very gratious for your help. [10:19] siema [10:19] :::::) [10:19] what [10:19] hello [10:19] none taken, but u have to remember, none of us get paid to do this, we're just here to help those with less knowledge [10:19] and help inform [10:19] best we can* [10:20] Yes, and I admire that. It's one of the reasons I wanted to try Linux in the first place. [10:20] I'll try this again tomorrow at a better time. Thanks for your help. [10:20] and linux is mostly built around your computer, so if there's something wrong with your computer, it might not always be the same workaround [10:20] hai all [10:20] Try a time when europe and the US are both on... [10:21] Gothicsatan, what up... [10:21] garylieberman: I scrolled up and saw your problem. Maybe I can help. [10:21] Gary, ... [10:21] what?? [10:21] . [10:21] atjehcyber: hi? [10:21] nice... [10:22] am new used ubuntu [10:22] i think he logged [10:22] can you help me Gothicsatan [10:22] atjehcyber: maybe.. maybe not.. what's up? [10:22] Oh, wonderful... I try to help the poor guy and he leaves. :( [10:22] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/828706/AAA.JPG great - looks like ubuntu doesn't have answer for this one :] [10:22] ya know :/ [10:22] am inters with backtrack tool, can i install it on ubuntu, [10:22] can i get a deb. ? [10:23] atjehcyber: what tool? most are in the repos [10:23] u want the wep testing stuff? [10:23] atjehcyber: google aircrack-nt [10:23] aircrack-ng [10:23] ng [10:23] that's what u want [10:24] they only support hardy ubuntu.. but i have it on lucid, and it works [10:24] Poor garyL he will delete Ubuntu and turn back to the dark side [10:24] his loss [10:24] We lost another [10:24] Sam_Fisher: if it works for him, fine [10:24] sooner or later he'll learn [10:25] agreed. ^^ [10:25] Sam_Fisher: He said he would be back later, fortunately. [10:25] Gothicsatan, Hope he comes back [10:25] Sam_Fisher: Ditto [10:25] It seems that he has another computer he can use in the meantime [10:25] He'll be less frustrated if he does come back :) [10:25] yeah.. a phailbox [10:25] i mean.. windows [10:26] I feel for him I just did a reinstall of Lucid after how long since it came out? I was never happy with the Upgrade method and won't do it again [10:26] i never upgrade, i always fresh install [10:26] NAT ftwq [10:26] -q [10:26] Sam_Fisher: I know what you mean... [10:27] btw, how many partition can you have inside an extended one? [10:27] I actually just finished installing Ubuntu Studio today to replace Kubuntu (which had been upgraded to 10.04) [10:28] i started with Kubuntu Lucid, and had alot of probs, went to Ubuntu Lucid and all was great [10:28] The biggest thing I disliked was it had all my mistakes and attempts still there with the nice new 10.04. === _x[x] is now known as x[x] [10:28] Galerien: That's a good question... one that I don't have an answer for [10:28] Galerien: there was a restriction to 15 (63 on IDE) partitions, not sure if it still is [10:29] Galerien: during rh9 days, 11. now should be more [10:29] hey that sneaky X X guy is changing his name! to hide. LOL [10:29] Sam_Fisher: Exactly. Haven't taken the time to do a fresh install on this netbook, but I did do a fresh on on my desktop. Seems a lot better :) [10:29] *one on [10:29] It was worth a try I like to learn [10:29] Galerien: From what I'm reading, it seems that its only limited by the size of the disk [10:29] hi, is nspluginwrapper the only alternative for running the Adobe Reader Plugin on Firefox? [10:29] llutz: Galerien in msdos partitions tables still holds... if you use gpt there are other limits. [10:29] Same. You never know until you do it too [10:30] erUSUL: i meant msdos-partitions, no idea about gpt [10:30] anyone know why 'Synaptic Package Manager' won't run? I click System -> Sysnaptic Package Manage and it asks for a password which I enter correctly, then nothing... :( [10:30] I had Nvidia problems and Broadcom and finally the wired part would only work for one minute [10:31] chuzz, wrong PW for sure [10:31] chuzz: can you launch it fom terminal ? « gksudo synaptic » [10:31] chuzz: try running it from the command line [10:31] Ok, because I have a 1.5 TB hard drive and i'll have to install windows xp and 7, ubuntu and fedora (we have a complicated family :) ), so that's already 5 partitions, with swap 6.... [10:31] Sam_Fisher: if I type wrong password it tells me === owner is now known as bricky [10:31] Galerien: Oh, that'll be no problem. Well, aside from the usual Windows problems [10:31] Sam_Fisher: Ouch. I've heard Nvidia's a real pain to get working at times. Either it works or it doesn't type stuff. I got lucky and my Nvidia is fine so far [10:31] Galerien, have you considered VM for some? [10:31] * chuzz suspects he has to logged in as the *first* user added to the system [10:31] hi, does anything extract a .inf from a .exe file? [10:32] =p [10:32] bricky: You can try cabextract [10:32] Hello [10:32] try cabextract , zip , rar etc [10:32] Sam_Fisher: I have, and my sister and partents told me something like "no way in hell" ;) [10:32] i got a problem [10:32] greenjon, It worked fine since April then random things started breaking [10:32] There is [10:32] parents* [10:33] FireCrotch ty [10:33] FireCrotch: yeah, I know what i'll have to face, don't worry [10:33] Sam_Fisher: Without you having made any noticeable changes to the system? [10:33] Galerien, I know I have to set the systems up here so no one can tell which they are using. [10:34] Im using a 3G modem. and still its working as a 2G modem. I cant find selection option for 3G or 2G. please help me [10:34] Sam_Fisher: like windows xp = windows 7 = linux??? [10:34] greenjon, well come on! Maybe a few ;-) I trimmed the list of options at boot up to one. [10:34] Sam_Fisher: my bad.. you were right. Wrong password. I was thinking it wanted the root password... [10:34] Hi, how to transfer files within Empathy ? [10:34] Sam_Fisher: Haha. Never hurts to add a couple ;P [10:34] It seems that function is not available [10:34] anyone know how can I extrect information from a windows .exe ? my guess is that it's a SFX file actually [10:34] at times lol [10:34] Galerien, I just make sure FF has matching bookmarks and extensions and Photos all point to one folder etc [10:35] before we did that. But now i dont remember [10:35] how do I make FF come to the front when clicking on a link? [10:35] Galerien, have you had that many systems booting? [10:35] Sam_Fisher: I do that too, All my windows and linux folders point to the same onces [10:36] Galerien, I had 3 and it was hell! After that mess I went to 3 hard drives 1 system each and it's better [10:36] Sam_Fisher: I've had 3 linux (ubuntu fedora and solaris) and windows 2000 [10:36] sburjan: an SFX file is a self-extracting type of archive, I believe. You'll probably have the most success running it with Wine [10:36] chuzz: Glad it wasn't a huge problem. :) [10:36] Solaris != linux ;) [10:37] test [10:37] test is good? === Guest37485 is now known as kasun_ [10:37] test failed! [10:37] Galerien, Are you going to let Grub2 do your booting and how does your family know to choose? [10:38] FireCrotch : it;'s the office 2010 instlall, and It's only ONE executable file. And I getsome error, and in order to fix that error, I have to unpack the .exe and edit some files [10:38] sburjan: ur not using open office? [10:38] hacking [10:38] sburjan: you may have some success with cabextract then [10:38] cracking [10:38] openoffice ftw [10:38] Sam_Fisher: I just put their names... My parents use xp, sister 7, an my brother use whatever he wants (gaming = 7, something else = fedora) [10:38] and I'm with ubuntu [10:39] llutz: yeah ok sorry ;) [10:39] Galerien, Grub2 booting? [10:39] I have to test the plugin of my company with Office 2010 [10:40] Sam_Fisher: well, if it can do that for me, yes, if not... I've already configured grub.... [10:40] just save to a default file.. 2010 will open anything prior to it, and openoffice will save into those formats [10:40] Galerien, you should tell your parents XP is not supported any more and go to 7 it's faster and safer. [10:41] Galerien, get a copy of SuperGrub Hybrib so if (when) your boot gets hosed up you can boot anything you want until you can fix it and it will help you fix it. [10:41] Sam_Fisher: I did, but my faster doesn't care about it as long he has firefox, word 2000 and winamp... [10:41] Sam_Fisher: I have like 5 supergrub cds ! [10:42] Galerien: In the future, decline giving your father Windows support when he need it. Until he upgrade. ;o [10:42] (i burn one every time I need one because I can't find the other 4...) [10:43] Galerien, have you tried Hybrid? I have it in the desktop drive because of some boot error in Win7 that I can't fix yet. It just pops up and says locate any OS? Why yes thank you! [10:43] red2kic: If I do that he will format and reinstall... he already did when I was in the uk... [10:43] Sam_Fisher: no, didn't... [10:43] red2kic, you got the right idea. [10:43] his loss? [10:44] arg, can I install the driver in wine? lol [10:44] and than do something to make linux recognize it [10:44] bricky: What are you trying to do here? I assume you're trying to get a wireless card driver to work with ndiswrapper? [10:44] i installed the .inf on windows wireless drivers and it said hardware found:no :) [10:44] Galerien: Meh. If he think he's better off with that OS, let him go. :'( [10:44] ndiswrapper.. yes that rings a bell [10:45] hi [10:45] aef_, what up [10:45] aflynn, what up [10:45] ... nice day [10:45] red2kic: yeah, and for what he needs, I think he is... you know, it's hard for him to change, 70 yo [10:45] bricky: I suggest using the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [10:45] should I enable backports? [10:45] ... [10:46] Sam_Fisher: You should not have to. [10:46] FireCrotch: that was the page I was looking for ty [10:46] bricky, can i help [10:46] ?

I'm using latest Ubuntu 10.04 [10:48] not thin Gothicsatan [10:49] seema_ic: I guess that pidgin support it [10:49] seema_ic google it, there are plugins for empathy/pidgeon [10:49] in the ubuntu software center there is a package for 30 most used plugins [10:49] that should take care of it [10:50] Sam_Fisher: google chrome / opera...

[10:55] well I tried to install it and it says it's installed [10:56] Hello. I have some JPEG files with wrong EXIF-Data (date 2054-01-01). When I try to modify the date in f-spot the program crashes. Any idea how to correct the date?

[11:13] Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to fix the laggy flash plugin(nonfree). It doesn't lag in fullscreen but only in windowed mode, it makes browsing youtube or streetfire quite the unpleasant experience, Distro:10.04, cpu:amd3200+,gpu:radeonx850xt (non fglrx) [11:13] Thanks Man..I'm looking into it..I just need this issue to be resolved. Yahoo Messenger on Ubuntu is quite a Challenge. [11:14] lieb: 64 or 32 bit? [11:14] 32 bit [11:14] seema_ic: Ya, it looks like it's going to be quite the challenge indeed. Just try not to give up! [11:14] Adobe has a .deb file [11:14] and I did read up a lot on it before coming here [11:14] anyone experience slow performance of nvidia in Lucid? [11:14] i had ALOT of probs with flash, and if u have any remnants of any other type of flash in your system.. they will collide and cause problems === Travis is now known as Guest92850 [11:15] seema_ic: It seems there were a couple different variations of that client, but the link I gave you is the most recent I could find of the variations. I really hope it works for you [11:15] Promethes: install ur video driver [11:15] in mine scrolling in ff/chrome/nautilus/rhythmbox is terribly slow, like 386 [11:15] Clean 10.04 install, I did the wordpress checklist and I also have the latest flash plugin, and my video card works superbly on everything else including emulating games with WINE [11:15] FWIW - i'd still call myself a noob... and i haven't posted to the forums, but i did get around the laptop rebooting instead of shutting down w/ acpi_osi="Linux" in grub [11:15] Gothicsatan: i have propertiary driver installed, i have GTX 275 [11:16] Gothicsatan: ohh it just detected.... waiting to detect my phone... fingures crossed [11:16] how do i list the files in a package? [11:16] kale: dpkg -L package [11:16] I wish I could install the proprietary drivers in hopes that it would fix it, but I can't remember when flash worked correctly for me, this is why I keep switching back to winbloze [11:16] Promethes: i heard there were problems with that series cards.. but i could be wrong, dosent Nvidia have a native linux driver on thier site u can use? [11:17] nvidia performance was way better in 9.10, 9.04, in 10.4 is total crap [11:17] i'm running ATI.. so kinda at a loss, the last nvidia i had was a 9800 and it ran sweet [11:18] i have the 8800 and it seems to run okay... *shrug* [11:18] heck even my old geforce4 mx is supported by proprietary drivers [11:18] i have a 4200 HD Mobility and i game all the time with it, nps (unless it uses my Hard Drive.. that's shot) [11:18] does anyone have any clue why the brightness feature on totem doesn't work now I've installed Lucid Lynx? ATI Radeon X1600 video card. [11:19] ATI has settings in the driver for that [11:19] Ok. I've already done this thing..it's complex..don't know what to expect installing PPA? [11:19] all latest linux distros don't work well with atheros wireless card in ath5k driver.dmesg keeps saying:no probe response for ap,disconnectioning in few seconds each connection established [11:19] what's wrong? [11:20] seema:_ic: Hmmm... Gimme a bit [11:20] so I guess i'm screwed since i'm using xorg-video-radeon, sigh, I just thought maybe there was a workaround, and the flash optimization thing won't work [11:21] i had problems with my video driver.. using the built in Ubuntu installer didn't give me the performance i was expecting.. [11:21] It's funny how my whole computer slow down to a crawl when watching 480p/720p but if I download it to my pc it plays great, hell I even watched district 9 in 720p the other day. [11:21] i had to remove/purge and manually remove remnants of the driver, and install from the download from AMD's sit [11:21] site to get what i waednt [11:21] wanted* [11:21] me neither, I mean it works good, but it could be better [11:21] (stupid touchpad) [11:22] what ati r u running? [11:22] lieb: maybe it's not the video driver, but the internet streaming [11:22] ATI Mobility 4200 HD [11:22] im trying to add additional ip's to my server..can somebody check (http://pastebin.com/XRQMqihQ) to see if my /etc/resolv.conf is correct? [11:22] seema_ic: I guess you do have to install that [11:22] i heard that ati drivers also have many issues on linux [11:23] nah , connection is fine, I can tell it's the flash that ain't using hardware acceleration correctly, like I said in fullscreen it's fluid even the flash controls are more responsive [11:23] i had ALOT of issues using the one from the "hardware drivers" menu.. [11:23] Let me go through this once again..quite a learning curve [11:23] in windowed mode, not so much [11:23] seema_ic: I remember seeing that person's name before and I believe they're the one that manages gyachi [11:23] once i removed all those, and installed the ,deb packaged from AMD, it ran alot better.. [11:23] not sure why [11:23] everyone else seem to have the opposite problem [11:23] how do I run a wine program from the command line? wine [program name] right? [11:24] seema_ic: Take your time. I'm trying to help, but I can't be much since I've never used that program before so can't vouch for it [11:24] kiamo, yep [11:24] so is there today a graphic card that works well with lunux/ubuntu? In desktop and in opengl 3d? [11:24] Just seems like it's the only other alternative for you [11:24] Gothicsatan mine doesn't even show up in the hardware drivers menu, from what i've read the x850 isn't supported anymore [11:24] yes kiamo.. wine [11:24] Any idea why the dns resolver seems to be broken? the resolv.conf points to the correct DNS server, but I can't ping or browse to "server.ourdomain.local", yet an "nslookup server.ourdomain.local" works fine. It's as though the system is using a different DNS server to the one in /etc/resolv.conf. I have the same problem on another Lucid system [11:24] lieb: doh [11:24] the 4200hd IS supported but mine , bleh [11:25] it really sucks, so much for giving a 2nd life to an old pc [11:25] whats up ppl [11:25] oh it's OK I got it. I think it might be appending a bad suffix [11:25] what is this? [11:25] It's new for me also..I wish these big companies like Yahoo can offer some to Linux users also [11:25] it works, just don't expect much? [11:25] monitor110: well seems ok... dunno if auto can have more than one iface specified ... [11:25] seema_ic: that's too much work for them [11:26] well they have a thing u can use to have all ur messangers in 1 [11:26] seema:_ic: No kidding. Exactly what Gothicsatan said lol [11:26] beat me to it [11:26] but worth it if you can connect with people sitting on Linux [11:26] yea [11:26] haloo [11:26] hi [11:26] lol [11:27] I'm not expecting much, but it sucks when everything was working fine in previous versions and now it's not, I mean this is silly I can play 720p flv files , so why not in firefox/opera/chrome/konqueror [11:27] No it's definitely broken. "ping server" comes back with "response from server.company.local". "ping server.company.local" fails to find server.company.local [11:27] u can always downgrade to a prior version === solidturtle_ is now known as solidturtle [11:27] Does the glibc resolver have a bug with .local fqdns ? [11:27] I cant even play 480p, I have to stick to 360p and even then in windowed mode it lags way too much [11:28] new code + old compter = gonna have probs [11:28] in fullscreen it's smooth as hell, even without buffering the entire video [11:28] cause it renders differently [11:28] oh for sure, but everything else is fine, and I'm just mad at ati for dropping the card [11:28] full screen apps take precidence [11:28] umm [11:29] dual core proc? [11:29] not even close, lol [11:29] erUSUL - just saw your msg. thanks. i guess I don't need the additional gateway...im only supposed to specifiy it once [11:29] lol [11:29] lieb: witch one?

[11:32] ati does have support atm.. and it runs my games.. but i've always loved Nvidia [11:32] so.. eh.. [11:32] lieb: one of my friend modified a x800 with ceramic passive coolers and nearly double it's power (under windows)... that was a nice card [11:32] Gothicsatan: sometime you can't choose your card... [11:32] Both are good, I've had both , but most of my cards have been ati's, they had their ups and downs [11:33] Hi all How to use whois [11:33] seema_ic: How's that coming along? [11:33] yeah, I like how I can overclock my x850 easily, but I'd need upgraded cooling for sure [11:33] /whois sagarsde [11:33] thank you Galerien [11:34] sagarsde: pas de soucis, l'breton [11:34] no sense in overlocking anymore when the cards are getting cheaper [11:34] On one hand Nvidia has physx, but on the other hand ati has, well, amd's support [11:34] lol, yeah, and Nvidia has more gaming support (in windows) [11:35] I cant understand what u(Galerien) have written [11:35] for sureLet's f**k with everyone and buy matroxes [11:35] we'll crash the gpu market [11:35] lol [11:35] yeah, i can see the kiddies sayin that to mommie [11:35] I even had a matrox in my young days, and also a 3dfx [11:35] :P [11:35] lieb: and is cheaper and most cards are more powerfull than their "equivalent" in nVidia [11:36] still digging.. [11:36] Galerien c'est sur! [11:36] sagarsde: sorry, your whois says "pratchett.freenode.net :Rennes, France", I just guessed you were French [11:36] No I am Indian [11:36] my network manager won't find any wifi networks and knetwormanager says Network Management is disabled, how can i either fix this or get enough info to make a meaningful bug report [11:37] Galerien: No I am from India [11:37] ah the old matrox complete with destruction derby.. with 'smoke' FX lol [11:37] RiotingPacifist: type into a terminal "NetworkManager" [11:37] I had a matrox millenium 16 mb or something similar [11:37] What can I try when kill -9 isnt killing? [11:37] then try [11:37] Galerien: /whois ... is not showing anything [11:38] i use opendns but i can not go to google ? can someone please help me ? [11:38] sagarsde: leave no space before /whois [11:38] seema_ic: Alright. I'm sorry if that doesn't work for you. I was having trouble sleeping and so figured I'd hop on here to try and help, but my brain is about ready for bed. I'll try and stay up a little longer to try and help :) [11:38] 3:38 a.m. here hehe [11:38] Gothicsatan: NetworkManager is running, but nm-tool shows no wifi and knetworkmanager says the same thing [11:39] lieb: but before I upgraded to the 10.04 RC, my ati card was quite good, I could play games like wow with full details, 1440x900 and 40 fps (HD3650) I think it's getting better [11:39] RiotingPacifist: laptop? === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-afk [11:39] lieb: let's keep it english, so that other can understand ;) [11:39] yeah dell studio 15 something [11:39] guzu: I have typed "/whois guzu"; Am I wrong to type? or where else I have to type? [11:39] Is there a way (via a Nautlis-plugin) to add something to the toolbar of each folder-window? [11:40] hey you started it [11:40] sagarsde: no quotes, right? [11:40] sagarsde: you need to look at "freenode" not "ubuntu" [11:40] why do I always get put in my place for saying 1 sentence [11:40] guzu: yes that I have used [11:40] guzu: I mean I used it coorrectly [11:40] sagarsde: that's strange, /whois sagarsde worked fine for me [11:40] RiotingPacifist, do you have a network button.. that disable the network adapter? [11:41] RiotingPacifist, do you have multiple wireless adapters? [11:41] sagarsde: Look in other tab/tree. [11:41] Galerien this almost makes you wanna switch back to 9.04 or 9.10 eh? [11:41] guzu: I am using ubuntu [11:42] i'd hope so sagarsde lol, ur in a ubuntu irc [11:42] lieb: no, the problem was that I tried the RC, otherwise it would have worked fine [11:42] Gothicsatan: the network adapter is on (im connected using iwconfig now, but when i was trying to use nm i did check, by toggling and checking dmesg (Is there a better way to check)), no just 1 card an intel one (iwlagn) [11:42] guzu: Thank u, finaly I get it [11:42] oh yeah? I thought the rc would have been good as it's not a beta [11:42] lieb: but I need to keep this one because I've got important work and weird apache setttings, and if I lose it i'm dead [11:42] sagarsde: great :) [11:43] RiotingPacifist, disabling and enabling the network adapter with the built in laptop button is known to cause problems [11:43] Gothicsatan: oh and it was working fine till i rebooted this morning and got into a failed hibernate..resume thingy [11:43] Galerien time for backup!, I shouldn't talk, I also should do backups and I never do it [11:43] RiotingPacifist, might have been a stuck driver.. linux likes to remember what u were doing [11:43] Thanks for your efforts..you should sleep..thanks again [11:43] I recently lost a 120gb hard drive that had years worth of electronic music on it including my own vinyl rips [11:44] can someone help me please. i can not go with openDNS to google and gmail :( [11:44] quite a loss [11:44] I can still fix it, but I need to find an exact clone of my drive, hell i'm not paying hundreds of dollars for a data recovery service [11:44] Gothicsatan: I didn't disable until i'd run into the problems, i reloaded (a few times) it and it's now working using the same driver, i'm pretty confident its something messed up in networkmanager [11:44] it's only data guzu [11:44] seema_ic: No need to thank me. Just trying to help where I can even if I'll be learning at the same time as you haha [11:44] :) [11:44] lieb: it was good, but graphic stuff is always tricky (and one of my friend did it too and broke his installation, and had an Nvidia) [11:44] I have lucid and winXP installed. Each time I reboot from xp my gru breaks and I have to go in with a live disk to fix this. Is there any permanent fix available? [11:44] *grub [11:45] Gothicsatan: yes, but ripping vinyl is no asy task, and is certainly time eating [11:45] guzu very true [11:45] tibrox bad block on hard drive maybe? [11:45] Tibrox. I had a similar issue with Vista. [11:45] Are you booting using the windows loader or the ubuntu one? [11:45] right where the mbr is [11:45] RiotingPacifist, with mine, if i hit that button, i have to shutdown, and then it work the way it should [11:45] Which one do you select the boot with? [11:45] lieb, nothing wrong with my disk afaik [11:46] lieb: yeah well, I have four external hard drives with all important stuff stored in all four of them, plus my phone and a USB key in my parents vault [11:46] SirMoo, how did you fix it? [11:46] alright, you never know, I also dual boot (lucid and xp) and have no issues [11:46] i can not go with openDNS to google and gmail. please help me! === chim is now known as Guest50891 [11:46] Gothicsatan: enable/disable networking is not good? [11:46] Galerien : nice! if I was rich i'd get a tape backup device [11:46] SirMoo, grub2 loader [11:46] I don't remember. When it boots and it asks you which to load Ubuntu or Windows... is it a windows screen or ubuntu boot screen? [11:46] Gothicsatan: i rebooted and left it off for a few minutes, and tried 2 different kernels, I don't think it's a problem with the driver [11:46] Thank u guys, I have to go [11:46] bye [11:46] in the meantime i'll just build myself a raid setup [11:46] guzu with laptops that have a button to enable/disble the network adapters, is known to cause problems [11:46] bye [11:47] Try using the windows boot loader? [11:47] yeah..I guess we all need to learn to grow..isn't [11:47] hi, i'm running lucid for server x64 and cron isn't starting automtically on boot. anyway to fix it? [11:47] RiotingPacifist, u can always locate the driver, and re-install it [11:48] seema_ic: That's the beauty of going from Windows to Ubuntu and just life in general. We need to take the opportunities to learn when given the chance. :P [11:48] RiotingPacifist, if that's what you think the problem is.. but if u were using that button, that's just bad news. i went through that cause i have 2 wireless network adapters (one for injections, one for monitor) [11:48] I've had grub2 issues with dual booting windows since karmic :( [11:49] ._. I think if you switch from which ever screen lets you select wich you're going to boot too, it should fix the issue. [11:49] I had booting issues with karmic as well, it would take 20-25 seconds just to show the grub menu [11:49] luckily lucid lynx seemed to have fixed that for me [11:50] lieb, in karmic - grub2 would freeze. In lucid - i get the error of invalid boot disk [11:50] after installing the proprietry nvidia drivers, I cant set my CRT higher than 1024x768 [11:50] actually, before I installed them even :p [11:50] SirMoo, I don't even het the grub menu [11:51] *get [11:51] Gothicsatan: I only used the button after the problem started. btw you can usually capture and inject on the same card these days, just use airmon to create a virtual monitor interface tied to the correct freq (i know it works for iwlagn and atheros, not sure about others) [11:51] opti, have you tried configuring the settings using the driver itself? maybe ur refresh rate is too high and limits the resoluton [11:51] tibrox : that's bad, I hate to repeat myself but do a thorough hard drive check, sometime you may even be aware that you have a bad drive, happened to me [11:51] RiotingPacifist, my builtin don't support injection [11:51] what, like the nvidia applet for changing the res? [11:52] hey everyone, I have a gpg encrypted text file. Is there any tool that I can use to decrypt the text file into memory, edit it, and save it again encrypted. I could use gpg to decrypt it into plain text, edit that and then encrypt it again, but I am wondering if there is a way to do that on the fly [11:52] Yes.. lower the refresh rate to 60, and raise the resolution [11:53] #ubuntu.pl [11:53] hi [11:53] SmokeyD: use a ramdisk. make sure your swap is encrypted or nonexistent. === srynkiewicz is now known as slav [11:53] SmokeyD: you could extract it to a ramdisk (like /dev/shm, i think), but there may be a tool to do what you want anyway [11:54] Thrm: if smokeyD uses a ramdisk he doesn't need to worry about it being swapped out AFAIK only tmpfs gets swapped, ramfs stays in ram [11:54] RiotingPacifist: that is actually a good idea, but I just found a gnupg plugin for vi that lets me transparently edit gpg encrypted files [11:54] ok, i think i found the problem, has very generic monitor config in xorg.conf [11:55] RiotingPacifist: but he'll use an editor on the file, no? [11:55] xfce self-destructed. If I burn 9.10 to a DVD and install it from there will my files remain intact? [11:55] I can only start Lucid in failsafeX mode, if I try to boot in the regular way, the computer crashes. What can I do to find the problem? [11:55] Thrm: that indeed is something to worry about [11:55] Thrm: thanks for the tip [11:55] at 1024x768 with CRT's most drivers like to set the refresh rate to 75.. which is to high for the higher resolutions [11:55] Thrm: good point [11:56] You guys must know that, how to access my ext4 partition (with extent) from winbloze, I heard I can virtualize my actual ubuntu OS to make it happen, but how does virtual box SEE the ext4 to begin with [11:56] Thrm: is the performance of an encrypted swapfile noticably worse than an unencrypted one? [11:56] why on earth would u want to do that? [11:56] lol [11:57] because it's phun! emphasis on the ph [11:57] Gothicsatan: was that in response to my question? [11:57] like ph4il [11:57] lol [11:57] in case I forget files and I absolutely CANNOT boot in ubuntu at the time being [11:57] SmokeyD no, sorry, was to someone else [11:57] lol [11:57] domedagen: If you have a separate /home and choose to use the partition but not format it, it will, otherwise you could use the liveCD to more all your files to a temporary storing place (usb?) of some kind [11:57] pretty much [11:57] :) [11:57] ok [11:57] SmokeyD: on small loads, i've never noticed it and when i'm using a lot of swap my computer was slow anyway, so IMHO there is no noticable difference [11:57] boot a live CD :P [11:57] I like to try stuff, I hate to say it but I need windows [11:58] hello all! how can i install a source package in 10.04? apt-get source packagename? [11:58] naa.. it's like smoking, break urself from the habit and enjoy the good life [11:58] lieb: http://ext2read.blogspot.com/2010/04/ext2read-22-released-now-with-lvm2-and.html [11:58] boot from a live cd, but I mean if I want to access my actual ubuntu partition from windows [11:58] ext2read doesnt work with extent on does it? [11:58] xfce self-destructed. If I burn 9.10 to a DVD and install it from there will my files remain intact? [11:58] vargadanis u don't install from source, u compile [11:58] I would hate to have to reformat just to run ext2read [11:59] Gothicsatan, yeah I got that.. However i want to see the ubuntu source of a package [11:59] vargadanis, no idea :/ [11:59] vargadanis: to get the source you run that command and it puts the files into a subdir of your current dir, to build it you need to use build-dep and add a -b to the source command === solidturtle_ is now known as solidturtle [12:00] that's funny, I googled the program like yesterday and saw no mention of ext4 support, I only read on other websites that it worked with the extend disabled [12:00] domedagen it will format.. u'll lose saved data unless it's backed up [12:00] RiotingPacifist, thank you... [12:00] Gothicsatan: TY [12:00] RiotingPacifist, as well I get this error: E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [12:00] RiotingPacifist, does that mean I am missing some configuration? [12:00] domedagen: I did answer ↑ ... do you have a separate /home? [12:01] the file your trying to install vargadanis is looking for dependancies that aren't listed in ur sources list [12:01] arand: Missed that [12:01] is what that says* [12:01] vargadanis: yes you have to add source URIs to your source list, either use the GUI to enable this or add entries to your /etc/apt/sources that look like deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse [12:01] I can only start Lucid in failsafeX mode, booting in the normal mode results in a crash right before the login screen would appear. How can I identify the problem? I figured that it could be a Blank Screen issue as on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen . But since the computer crashes instead of just giving a blank screen, I am not sure... [12:02] RiotingPacifist, wow.. ok, for some reason I ignored deb-src thing [12:02] vargadanis: all thi is going from manuals i've read, i usually use PPAs or howtos if i really need to build from source [12:02] RiotingPacifist, that has solved the problem [12:02] jovaro it's prolly a video issue [12:03] arand: Don't have such fancy things. My situation looks like this. I can't log in the normal way, I can't start xfce, I can't log in as SU. Is there a way to repair [12:03] Gothicsatan, I figures as much, but what to do about it? [12:03] RiotingPacifist, well I need a module for PHP that isn't supported and I would like to get it right with the current PHP version [12:03] u have to boot to terminal, remove-re-install the correct driver [12:03] RiotingPacifist, thank you for your help, been very helpful [12:03] should give u an option [12:03] domedagen: Does "recovery mode" in the boot menu help? [12:04] vargadanis: np, check-install might be usefull for what you want too [12:04] There is a recovery mode? [12:04] domedagen: (Hold down shift on boot to get the boot menu) [12:04] Let me try [12:04] RiotingPacifist, check-install? ok... I'll google it [12:05] okay, i need coffee now.. brb === Gothicsatan is now known as Gothicsatan|AFK [12:05] erm checkinstall even :CheckInstall keeps track of all the files created or modified by your installation script ("make install" "make install_modules", "setup", etc), builds a standard binary package and installs it in your system giving you the ability to uninstall it with your distribution's standard package management utilities. [12:07] ko hieu ji het [12:08] RiotingPacifist, ohh very very nice [12:08] help me [12:08] what's the question [12:08] we don't speak, whatever that is [12:09] Hello .. [12:10] hi there. I'm having a little trouble starting root in ubuntu. i had a mess with the display settings a while ago and its showing the desktop wallpaper but thats as far as it gets... [12:10] i can log into a normal user [12:10] i don't undertand english [12:10] arand: Recovery mode was not to be found [12:10] robust , well isn't that quite the dilemma, do you speak french? [12:11] is there anyway i can restore the settings. bit of a nub at linux im afraid. [12:11] i am vietnamese [12:11] SmokeyD: one more thing. the file editor could still leak the data to random places. for example, to fix vi: TMPDIR=/ramdisk vi /ramdisk/my.txt [12:11] oh you'se trolling [12:11] Is there any other distro that uses xubuntu's wireless connection program? [12:12] you're not supposed to log in as root [12:12] if you can log in user mode, thenonly use root for terminal commands [12:12] like i said... bit of newbie. [12:12] how do i convert a bin file to a img file? [12:12] that's fine, it just l;eaves your machine vulnerable [12:12] robust, /join #ubuntu-vn [12:12] kk [12:13] hi [12:13] robust,do you play with satellite receiver hacking? [12:13] is there any reason i would need to log into root then? [12:13] I mean it's vulnerable if you log in as root [12:13] i wont fix it if it doesnt matter [12:13] !ot > dbdavid [12:13] unless you do heavy server stuff, I don't think so, and even then in a console you tend to use "sudo" [12:13] dbdavid, that is offtopic here [12:14] dbdavid nice stereotyping [12:14] co ai biet tieng viet ko vay [12:14] lie,everything can be much different from theory in practice [12:14] Thrm: hmm, that is a good one as well. I think I'll ask the vi people if they have any more suggestions on where data could be leaked [12:14] anyone have a clue as to why Lucid will not load on a Thinkpad X31 ? [12:14] i cant install whois , whats the right command? apt-get install whois? [12:14] robust, english here ; /join #ubuntu-vn [12:14] lieb, that is not necessary [12:15] log as root never undermined my box though [12:15] hinh nhu minh bi lac vao the gioi ubuntu tu khi nao ma ko biet roi [12:15] zfmf, just /whois in your client [12:15] yeah but if that his only issue, it's pretty much a non-issue no? [12:15] i get this message during boot up: [/build/buildd/linux2.6.32/drivers/rtc/htcosys.c : unable to open rtc device], whats up and how do i fix it? [12:15] there is nearly never any obligation to be root, sudo is ok most of the time [12:16] dbdavid, I know, me too [12:16] spot on! [12:16] sudo -i for a root shell if you must [12:16] I only had to use sudo -i twice, with advanced packages configurations [12:16] lieb: "spot on" ? [12:16] bazhang,why my atheros keeps disconnecting in few seconds after associated with ap? [12:16] meaning that's where I was getting at [12:16] [07:15] there is nearly never any obligation to be root, sudo is ok most of the time [12:17] lieb: ok, good then [12:17] :P [12:17] don't worry i'm not here to be a smart ass [12:17] well it's probably my fault. i was messing with the monitor settings cos I used a really old monitor and it couldn't auto detect the settings [12:17] and what the hell are you doing up this early in canada? [12:17] I love root much more than sodu ,su..etc [12:17] are you install kde on ubuntu [12:17] lol [12:17] so i messed with the xconf file [12:17] robust, install the package kubuntu-desktop [12:17] robust: sudo tasksel [12:17] Galerien, slept in yesterday afternoon, and didn't go to bed yet, sigh [12:18] ok [12:18] what else [12:18] and then chose kubuntu-desktop, [12:18] bazhang,what's wrong with my system? [12:18] it works now though... just can't start root [12:18] press and then enter [12:18] reboot, your are done [12:18] robust, that is it, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [12:18] anyway. Thanks for your help peeps :) [12:19] thanks [12:20] seema_ic: how's that coming along? haven't heard from you in a little while [12:21] hey,so many guys left? [12:21] Hey all. Anybody runing ubuntu on an Aspire One 532H netbook? === vaughan is now known as Guest9893 [12:21] vaughan,what's wrong [12:22] ive googled and found a bug, but the SD card reader doesnt work... It shows in dmesg when inserting a card, but its not mounted [12:22] Wondered if anybody had conquered this one yet [12:22] Well , think it's about time to hit the old dusty trail. [12:22] good night(or day) === Gothicsatan|AFK is now known as Gothicsatan [12:22] lieb: I've been at work for 5 hours now, grrr [12:23] (but good night) [12:23] if only I could FIND work [12:23] damn stupid economy [12:23] i agree with lieb [12:23] IF only lol [12:23] lieb: right there with ya. have a good day (night) [12:23] Is there any other distro that uses xubuntu's wireless connection program? [12:23] anybody know where's a good place to ask questions about ubuntugis? [12:23] That's another problem yeah... (but i'm not getting paid, it's an internship :s) [12:24] I mean im willing to work, but I get absolutely no interviews, and the one I was supposed to get last week, the guy tells me to call the next morning, then I call and he tells me he gave the job to someone else [12:24] I was... fuming [12:24] my payment is helping atm [12:24] * lieb says cya! [12:24] cya [12:24] * Gothicsatan waves [12:25] this stupid clock applet keeps freezing. date says it's 13:24 but the clock applet says it is 13:04 === solidturtle_ is now known as solidturtle [12:25] it worked until 13:04 then it freezed [12:25] i think i have a security issue, i fire up my iBook, type Linux single at the yaboot prompt then im taken to a menu where i have an option to drop down to root prompt which i do and their i am with access to the entire system. what if i wasnt the owner of this iBook, is their anything i couldnt do with a root access without a password? [12:25] I'm trying to get railo installed on 8.04 and am following this guide http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_remove_a_plug-in%3F It mentions putting railo in /usr/local/tomcat/lib/ but tomcat5.5 doesn't have such a directory. Does it really matter? [12:25] for a Daemon process, what is the UID and GID? [12:26] nmvictor: physical access == all bets are off // (only solution is full disk encryption) [12:26] nmvictor: use the password feature of the bootloader so you couldent get into 'single' mode if you want to be extr secure [12:26] last time one of my friend gave me a clock applet, it was a random() time and date every 20 minutes, he wanted to make that like H2G2... [12:26] do you know shell ? [12:26] this clock applet sucks big time [12:26] robust: where is a shell there is a way [12:26] and it freezes on two different laptops === wieshka_ is now known as wieshka [12:27] jatt: so don't use it ;) [12:27] alternatives_ [12:27] jatt: did you tried cairo-dock ? [12:27] no, can be docked in the panel? [12:27] what /dev thing are usb's connected to? [12:28] i think i'm asking it very unclear lol [12:28] jatt: it's like the apple bottom bar, and they have a good clock applet [12:28] sllide: it can depend on the kind of usb device [12:28] sllide: It depends on what usb device it is. Check dmesg | tail [12:28] sllide, my usb devices are usually sdb1.. USUALLY, but it may be different [12:28] sdb1 is the first partition of the second hard drive. it might be a usb device... [12:29] for me sda1 is my HD [12:29] sdb1 is the next stoarge device that's not cd [12:29] AWN is real nice too..looks just like apples bar as well [12:29] for me* [12:29] Tell me about shell programming management student list [12:30] erUSUL: Dr_Willis i know i have that option of disk encryption which i regret having avoided and as for the bootloader password im gonna look into that, but why have that anyway.cant something be done about it.if i had a friend who knows all about linux commands but is strongly attached to windows, how will he ever believe that Linux is secure if he ever stumbled on that, i even thought it was restricted to system access..like just administration yet i [12:30] bye .!!! @};- [12:31] nmvictor: linux has never been secure to physical access... [12:31] if ur that worried about ppl loggin into ur comp, pw protect the bios [12:31] Full disk encryption is the only way to do so. [12:31] Gothicsatan: BIOSes can be flashed. [12:31] bobthemilkman: no software system has and will ever be... [12:31] nmvictor: this is brought up regularily. once someone has phisical access to a computer nothing works except full disk encryption is a facvt of live. do you think that's different with a windows laptop or a Mac ? [12:32] bobthemilkman, true, but takes more time [12:32] fact of life* [12:32] nmvictor: with physical access to a machine - there basically isent much a person cant do. I can do a similer trick with most windows machines [12:32] bobthemilkman, less likely they will try [12:32] nmvictor: every so often the idea to 'default password protect grub' comes up - its yet another password for people to forget basically so it never gets used,. [12:32] Gothicsatan: Which, from a security standpoint, is about as good as putting a key under the mat instead of in the keyhole. [12:32] on windows xp, if you boot has recovery mode, you can enter has an administrator without password [12:32] bobthemilkman, lol, yeah [12:32] How do i install fortran g95 compiler on ubuntu? [12:33] nmvictor: with a live cd - even a password protected grub can be bypassed [12:33] In security, you don't assume that someone won't do something because it's inconvenient. You assume someone won't do something *only* because they can't. [12:33] m [12:34] brb [12:34] well~ there is no prefect security anyway ~ [12:34] Hi, there ! [12:35] wildbat: Says you! [12:35] Power off. stick machine in a Vault.. bury vault..

[12:36] For a few days, I can't print anymore, getting a "/usr/lib/cups/backend/dnssd failed" error, what's this ? [12:37] Galerien, lol i love this chart [12:38] bobthemilkman: @ erUSUL might not be different in windows and mac, i know its worse their @ Dr_Willis , so whats so secure abot the grub password if that can be bypassed, @all >> my question is cant something be don about it? I bet the menu that took me to that promp is a linux based thing, not a computers stuff.so whoever came up with the menu, cant they extend a password prompt to match the sudoers password, atleast that'd be secure to say the least [12:38] Dr_Willis: do you know how the French army hide their datas? In the walls of their underground bases [12:39] hiya 1500 ppl [12:39] Anyone play Anarchy Online? [12:40] nmvictor: well with a grub password you need more work ( livecd/supergrubdisk ) if you also lock bios with a password and only permit hd boot then you force the attacker to do more work ( clear cmos memory / reset bios defaults / take out the disk to another computer) [12:40] nmvictor: is all a trade off [12:40] erUSUL: did you know that MSI wants to abandon bios? [12:41] Galerien: read about it, efi is still a bios ( modern one but still bios/firmware ) [12:42] bazhang,could you kindly tell me what's regpair ? [12:42] Still havent seen a pc other then apples that use EFI.. or do the ARM based ones use efi yet? [12:42] what's the disadvantage of bios? [12:42] erUSUL: it's a firmware, not a bios, and uses C, not assembly [12:43] Dr_Willis: arm systems use its own thing ( and probablñy each arm system uses something different than the rest) [12:43] dbdavid: err, some problem with huge hard drives as I recal [12:43] dbdavid: its normal 'bios' system is old old and old.. and been tweaked/patched/hacked.. and is starting to be a barrier to new designs. [12:43] about msi : http://www.thinq.co.uk/2010/6/8/exclusive-msi-bios-will-be-dead-three-years/ [12:43] dbdavid: it is a 30 years old thing full of kludges/workaraunds that can not be extended further ?

Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [13:38] any one free here to help me [13:39] mkhader, what is your problem? [13:39] !anyone [13:39] 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? [13:39] mkhader, ask a question, all on one line, with plenty of details [13:39] mkhader, i charge a 100 dollars [13:39] i need drivers [13:39] indus, ?? [13:39] Drivers for what? [13:39] i'm new with linux invironment [13:39] for my laptop [13:39] i'm using lenovo 300 n100 [13:39] mkhader, drivers for video wireless etc etc? [13:39] For what device? graphics card, network card or what? [13:39] yes [13:39] i'm not free, but i might help :P [13:39] what's up? [13:39] i need in fact [13:39] :) [13:40] ahm... what is this information with the laser printers: monthly load 10000 pages [13:40] what if I print more? [13:40] application to update drivers [13:40] vargadanis, nothing happens [13:40] i already installed driver manager [13:40] I c, thanks, indus [13:40] mkhader, ok do you have the video driver installe? [13:40] like device manager in windows [13:40] vargadanis, where is this written [13:41] SlimG ok now im completely confused... i changed primary dns to DynGuide (namebench recommended) and google works [13:41] mkhader, in linux mostly you dont need any 'drivers' its all built in [13:41] coz can we chat private [13:41] indus, in the description of the printer... [13:41] mkhader.. what type of video card do you have? [13:41] intel gothicsatan [13:41] qgel, did you use OpenDNS before? [13:41] but my problem not with the vedio driver [13:41] mkhader, we can yes the disadvantage is that others cant catch my mistakes or give better advice and users wont see the solutions [13:42] mkhader, except for few things like wireless ( that too a few brands) and ATI/NVIDIA DRIVERS [13:42] the included drivers that come with ubuntu should handle the intel card [13:42] Just installed Lucid Lynx on other laptop, installation finished and said to reboot, rebooted but just wen to blank/black screen??? [13:42] your online now.. so i'm guessin the network card works [13:42] vargadanis,so it says it can print 10000 pages a month? [13:42] anonymouse yes [13:43] indus, yes [13:43] vargadanis, so how much is that in a day [13:43] mkhader, what is your exact problem then? [13:43] anonymouse but as i said ping was working fine [13:43] vargadanis, 10000/ 30 , 333.33333333333 [13:43] qgel, I'm using OpenDNS too, and Google won't load [13:43] vargadanis, hmm a lot of pages :) [13:43] anonymouse very strange, well guess it will be fixed soon [13:43] indus, yup.. I am not worried about printing that much but just in case you know [13:44] indus, i don't wanna get into a funny situation cause of that [13:44] vargadanis, well, maybe heat is an issue, i sugest call the company and find this out but i think shouldnt be an issue as long as you can feed enough toner to the printer [13:45] is there a way to tell metacity to run a gui application like xclock without title bar? [13:45] vargadanis, which printer is this [13:45] qgel: Google search might have been moved between IPs when they launched their new search today, and OpenDNS might be slow to update, my guess atleast [13:45] indus, shouldn't be a problem... one toner can print a lotta pages :) [13:45] vargadanis, ah ok [13:45] indus, well it's been displayed on all of the printers [13:45] SlimG, aha ok [13:45] indus, just the number is different.. in some cases it's 100000 [13:46] indus, XeroXer Phaser 3140 eg [13:46] vargadanis, just a marketing thing to show huge numbers on box [13:46] mkhader, ? [13:46] indus, haha ok :) [13:47] qgel: you might be able to confirm that by pinging google again, and see if the IP has changed from when you pinged using OpenDNS [13:50] can anyone with three working screens in ubuntu tell me which grafics card they use? [13:50] Installed Lucid Lynx, install finished, said to restart, now laptop goes to blank screen, but does nothing else???? [13:51] anonymouse: i had it working with my nvidia's one onboard, one pcix (with 2 monitor outs) [13:51] ben_,go to repair shop [13:51] lol [13:51] seriously? [13:51] no other options?

[13:57] install finished, then said to restart [13:57] erUSUL: from digging around in the logs, i found some error message. problem on the intel agn module, which requires you to disable ipv6 in the kernel to get it working (and not disconnecting) [13:57] it makes all the right sounds for start up [13:57] but the screen just stays blank [13:57] erUSUL: i also updated to the backport modules. we'll see if it resolves the issue === hlxx is now known as jtokarchuk [13:57] ben__: clarify that.. you DO hear the 'gnome login sound' ? [13:58] no - no login sound [13:58] ben_,few situations need restart ,linux is not windows..maybe you get virus [13:58] why cant I push buttons in flash like YouTube sharedtalk in Ubuntu 9.10?

[13:58] dbdavid, NO [13:59] anonymouse, but truecrypt cannot decrypt a file? it for volume protection??? === helixx is now known as hlx [14:00] xro_, it can also decrypt files that are encrypted with truecrypt [14:00] hi [14:00] Dr_Willis: yeah it works most of the times but it dosent solve the problem, but thanks.

[14:01] oi [14:01] cyborgsmurf: theres other 'fixs' out there. its some sort of compiz/flash issue last i looked into it. Check the ubuntu forums, or google and you can find a few sites that list perhaps 5+ differnt possible fix's that depend on the exact system. [14:01] I mean the driver [14:01] laptop was working earlier with Vista??? [14:01] I have a website I need to take a test on and the site is telling me no JRE isntalled in the browser.

[14:37] getting emc2 going from scratch would be a even larger job for me =) [14:37] I think they need to put a link to the ubuntu manual right in the middle of the desktop. :) [14:37] Dr_Willis, i was using them for the alien invasion game on playdeb their game builds are good [14:37] Dr_Willis, but just curious ;) [14:38] the screen just wont accept my changes in xorg.conf so it uses the new driver =) [14:38] I installed it on a linux server and i can access SWAT, is it only to communicate with windows ? [14:38] hi, I've got a problem running some linux apps via terminal. When I try to run something.mojo.run it says that I don't have enough priviliges and sudo doesn't work. Either does two other .bin and .sh ending software. [14:38] NET||abuse: ive not paied attention to how/where/why they went down. I just recall webupd8 having a mirror listing for them [14:38] DJ_HaMsTa: I think you also need to install samba on the other computers to access it. [14:38] aj00200, you mean on my ubuntu machine ? [14:39] adjpg: sudo ./paththwhatever.bin IF you have done a 'chmod +x whatever.bin' [14:39] adjpg: sudo chmod a+x something.mojo.run [14:39] DJ_HaMsTa: yes, but on windows you can just connect to it [14:39] adjpg: what are you trying to install anyway? its best to find debs if you can [14:39] just tried to update my vmware ubuntu to 10.04 LTS.. and it is now stuck on "Configuring grub-pc" basically, nothing happens when I press "Forward" apart from the button getting highlighted... [14:39] Anyone know a solution? [14:40] aj00200, that is what i am trying to achieve. I can connect to the server via windows but i would like to access it via ubuntu. I have samba installed in this machine [14:40] i would like udev to recognise a secondary keyboard and send all input from that keyboard to a bash script or something... [14:40] i managed to get udev to recognise the right keyboard and run a bash script, now i need X to not grab the keyboard.. [14:40] my udev-rule file currently holds: [14:40] SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTR{product}=="WebKey", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/etc/scripts/myscript.sh" [14:41] but my X still responds on keypresses on the secondary keyboard [14:41] DJ_HaMsTa: I'll look this one up. I had samba working once, but then I reinstalled everything [14:41] aj00200, i think i got it, Places, Connect to server, windows share [14:41] is anyone around that has some udev knowledge [14:42] Dr_Willis: I tried to install my Humble-Bundle to this Ubuntu... [14:42] Dr_Willis, phlak_user: thanks [14:42] DJ_HaMsTa: Did it work? [14:42] aj00200, working on it lol [14:43] when I use apt-get it usually installs an older version, how do I get the latest version of a package? [14:43] caution: try sudo apt-get update first [14:43] I have [14:43] DJ_HaMsTa: This first link from before seems to have a way to keep them mounted: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [14:43] I need a shotcut for a file manager [14:43] caution: you mean a major-update? [14:43] mks1992: clarify what you mean by 'shortcut' [14:44] caution: e.g. firefox 3.5 to 3.6 [14:44] yes [14:44] mks1992: do you mean like a launcher?

[14:44] mks1992: You are using xfce/xubuntu ?

[14:45] mks1992: i would suggest axking in #xubuntu and checking the XFCE docs/homepage for manuals/guides [14:45] I have a question or two about ubuntu server and raid arrays, can I ask about this here?

I'll try my luck here. [14:49] ubutom_: ah yes, you are right but the software is the same, just another focus on support/questions [14:49] caution, ubuntu is not a rolling release distro, you won't get the very newest and latest unless you go outside the Ubuntu repositories [14:50] how do I find which repositories to use bazhang?

[14:50] Mattias, but offtopic and not support related here [14:50] caution: you never said what you did want.. that i saw [14:50] My first question is if the mdx_raidx process should always be running at roughly 25%, even though there is no io activity. === sejuk is now known as bazhanf [14:51] thanks for your help Dr_Willis [14:51] using raid5 [14:51] mks1992: Why are you usint xubuntu instead of the normal ubuntu anyway? [14:52] I heard that is faster than normal ubuntu [14:52] Good morning.I have an LTSP server going very well, few things. Does anyone know how a user setup with sabayon (User Profile Editor) works as a client, then quits working and returns to the fully default gnome? Seems to happen if I change the session at login, but also does it on its own. [14:52] how can I disable unattended-upgr [14:52] mks1992: thats a bit of a myth in many ways.. You have a old/slower machine? thatn i could see a reason.. if you have a decently mondern machine.. I suggest you go with ubuntu [14:53] and I am testing new OS [14:53] that arn't windos [14:53] windows [14:53] mks1992: if you have a VERY low end machine 'lubuntu' is even lighter then xubuntu [14:53] Second question may be related, I'm having trouble getting my hard drives to spin down. [14:53] mks1992: but theres a cost for 'lightness' :) often lack of features [14:53] hey guys,, if i have a default bottom panel in gnome, and i want to startup awn, is there a good way to save the layout of my gnome panel and just remove it when i run awn, and add it back again if i shut down awn [14:53] what if i install ubuntu and then I use fliuxbox [14:53] ? [14:53] mks1992: thats trivial to do [14:53] fluxbox [14:54] or lxde [14:54] BluesKaj: Seems that the IP stay put. Thank you so much! [14:54] mks1992: you can install ubuntu, then have xubuntu, kubuntu, lubuntu, and proberly others all installed on the same system and just pick what one to use from the Login screen [14:54] civixier, np , glad to help :) [14:54] NET||abuse: YOu can right click, unlock the panel items, and move them to the upper panel. [14:54] in GNOME there is a brightness slider applet, but I can't find the equivalent in LXDE. My function brightness buttons don't work, so I need another way to change the screen brightness. Any ideas? [14:54] mks1992: mixxing in so many desktops can lead to cluttered menus.. but its not a Huge problem. [14:55] hey guys, when i open banshee it closes after play the first song, just when it changes to the second, can somebody help me with that? [14:55] Anyone know how to disable unattended-upgrade from cli? [14:55] he [14:56] rad4Christ, i already have my upper panel removed, and everything runs in the one bottom panel, i just prefer the screen realestate [14:56] Wheres the open office IRC? === Frt is now known as Guest77811 [14:56] NET||abuse: ive not seen a 'good' way to remove a panel. gnome likes to force you to keep one === Guest77811 is now known as GuTTa [14:56] NET||abuse: or simply right click on the panel, go to Properties, and change the orientation to Top. That way it can stay there until you know you are happy with AWN, then remove it. [14:57] NET||abuse: or move it to the right side. enable autohide. and just use it for a 'launcher' :) [14:57] That's a good idea. [14:57] I have jaunty, how do I get add-apt-repository to work? Are PPAs supported on jaunty? [14:57] caution: they are. but that command i dont think is in jaunty [14:57] lukass, don't know anything about raid, but there are different controllers, some let the cpu do some work and others work mostly for themselves, thin in motherboard integrated ones sometimes aren't that good [14:57] How to I rotate an image in open office?

Thanks:) [15:06] JyZyXEL: that means you dont have the kernel headers installed [15:06] Dr_Willis, i downloaded it from a site.. in xp it is such that, when i click on a particular song.it automatically opens in wmp and from FILE menu i can saveit. so, i want to know, how i could do the same in ubuntu??thanks, in advance [15:06] what kernel headers [15:07] i wgetted the latest source from kernel.org [15:07] hello people! I was wondering whether anyone here is familiar with this ubuntu single sign on thing: I've got a bunch of questions about it :-/ [15:07] set vm.swappiness to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf too. Always helps :) setting the vm.swappiness lower will make the system use swap less. I believe the default is 60 or somesuch [15:07] the headers should be included [15:07] http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.34.tar.bz2 [15:07] lxsys,I'm on debian.but i guess the answer is no [15:07] Hey does anyone know a good server/channel to get help debugging on openGL code? [15:07] it has all the code [15:07] lukass, set vm.swappiness to 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf too. Always helps :) setting the vm.swappiness lower will make the system use swap less. I believe the default is 60 or somesuch [15:07] the whole kernel [15:07] vishnu: use the save link to.. type feature of the browser [15:08] dbdavid: I beleive the issue is the BBC site not recognising the User agent of Ubuntu 10.04 under firefox, but thanks anyways. [15:08] has any ever installed Gish on Ubuntu? [15:08] vishnu: I rarely ever let things download and get 'auto loaded into an app' [15:08] I was wondering about ubuntu SSO: with which sites is it compatible? is the username = full name? (coz they ask this upon creating an account for some reason) [15:08] JyZyXEL: have you installed this --> linux-libc-dev [15:08] OK, no help on the LTSP client session, how about this: all local apps do not have a theme applied to them. The panels, windows, and GUI for all apps run on the server are using the human theme, but local apps are blocky and dull grey on the clients. Any ideas?

[15:11] does ubuntu support Crysis? [15:11] kikekilla: its not windows.. if you want best windows game prefoirmace.. use windows. [15:11] oh [15:11] bazhang: 32 or 64bit?

[15:15] phlak_user, I will see that thank you [15:15] maxime_: thats only a php interface to sqlgrey [15:16] Nitrodist, i do. its not throwing any errors (into cron's logs)... i would get them via email [15:17] root@wenbin-laptop:/usr/share/virtualbox# ls [15:17] MSDN-xp-sp3.iso nls VBoxGuestAdditions.iso VBox.png VBox.sh VBoxSysInfo.sh [15:17] root@wenbin-laptop:/usr/share/virtualbox# mv MSDN-xp-sp3.iso /wenbin [15:17] root@wenbin-laptop:/usr/share/virtualbox# ls [15:17] nls VBoxGuestAdditions.iso VBox.png VBox.sh VBoxSysInfo.sh [15:17] where can i find MSDN-xp-sp3.iso? [15:17] wenbin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:18] zosky: "sh" is a link to /bin/dash , does that cause the difference? [15:18] unop, here is the script http://zosky.pastebin.com/57R6xNVP .... its an hddtemp hourly monitor .... in sh it creates empty an empty output file. in bash it captures the tempts properly. [15:18] phlak_user, Ahhh oki [15:18] phlak_user, I already use that interface [15:18] wenbin: in /wenbin where you've moved it, i'd assume? [15:18] I need somethin more user friendly (boss stuff) [15:19] Hello everyone [15:19] llutz, yes, i need cron to run it in bash not dash [15:20] 有人 [15:20] !cn | kubunfd [15:20] kubunfd: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [15:20] thank you [15:21] Does anyone know how I can temporarly disable window controls on Ubuntu?

[15:22] I am having problems with my 10.04 Live CD. can anybody help me? [15:22] !ask | jon_high9000 [15:22] jon_high9000: 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. :-) [15:22] jon_high9000: just ask your question, and someone will probably answer [15:22] jon_high9000, ??? [15:23] ben__: what did you mean by internet drivers? [15:23] zosky, my guess is that it is behaving differently under cron - but still running under bash. the way you quote your variables is inconsistent - you should always quote your variables except when you know specifically not to. [15:23] it's not connecting to web via wireless [15:24] I have a problem with my Live CD, it has a tendency to load up and then go to sleep and not installing the OS. [15:24] ben__: normally i plug in a wired connection and use the 'hardware-drivers' tool to let it download the needed wireless drivers [15:24] unop, i didnt claim i knew what i'm doing. (thats why im asking for help). thanks for the pointers [15:24] ok, will try that [15:24] zosky, /join #bash [15:25] I like the new 10.04 :) [15:25] i like too [15:25] I have one laptop running Lucid Lynx, can I not just copy/paste and transfer via memory stick? [15:25] ben__: totally depends on thw wireless chipset ... [15:25] i want do a shell script that count numbers [15:25] okey dokey [15:25] http://pastie.org/999387 where is the problem [15:25] Adasz: and? [15:25] unop, good call [15:26] Nitrodist, http://pastie.org/999387 syntax error [15:26] Dr_Willis - as to my earlier problem, after leaving laptop for about half an hour, it just loaded up Xubuntu... [15:26] WTF? === kubunfd is now known as zcf115 [15:26] weird [15:27] has anybody expetienced this problem before? [15:27] anyone know offhand why my ethernet port (while working perfectly) is blinking orange and yellow instead of green? [15:27] Nitrodist, i want to make a loop that print numbers of the variable [15:27] Adasz: I don't htink bash supports a for loop in that manner. join #bash and ask there. There are also tons of tutorials out there with google on how to do an iteration [15:27] abstrakt: to indicate activity? [15:27] ben__: be more clear in what you mean. and cut down on the extra commentary [15:27] Adasz: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-for-loop/ [15:27] Nitrodist, thx [15:27] goodbye seeyou! [15:28] Adasz: try $a in the for construct [15:28] phlak_user: i'm just used to having the light be green [15:28] Adasz, change the shebang to #!/bin/bash [15:28] so it kind of annoys me and makes me nervous when it's not [15:28] i guess i'm superstitious like that [15:28] Adasz, sh doesn't support your loop variable, but bash does [15:28] abstrakt: this is an ubuntu support channel [15:29] phlak_user: yeh and i'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64 [15:29] phlak_user: that's the computer in question [15:29] unop, thx that was my mistake [15:29] the one tha blinks orange [15:29] abstrakt: and that Led is *NOT* controlled by ubuntu [15:29] ok, connected to web via ethernet cable, how to update drivers? [15:30] ben__: normally i plug in a wired connection and use the 'hardware-drivers' tool to let it download the needed wireless drivers [15:30] phlak_user: omg like easy there buddy, we're all friends in here [15:30] ben__: no idea what its called on xubuntu. under gnome its 'jockey-gtk' from a terminal [15:31] hey guys, I'm using ubuntu netbook edition on an acer aspire one, and how do I make it _not_ lock on suspend? [15:31] abstrakt: you're right, i have no clue about led light colors on laptops; you might have to ask again [15:32] jatz: under screen saver settings, or the powersaver settings I think. === xx is now known as Guest24293 [15:32] Hey guys [15:33] This morning, the mysql server process on two separate ubuntu machines I adminster was not running. Anyone know why they would have 'decided' to turn off? [15:33] Could anyone help me out with a grub / multiboot setup? [15:33] Dr_Willis: thanks, screensaver worked. changing it in gconf under gnome-power-manager did nothing [15:33] Guest24293: better to just ask your question and see who may know the answer, than to ask to ask. [15:34] martian: the mysqld logs might give a clue [15:34] question #2! whenever I wake it up from suspend, it gives me a dialog saying "Authentication required by network" but "connect" greyed out and only cancel is available [15:34] which kernel module would i want to compile if i want to do swapping on my linux machine? [15:34] Milp_main: what swapping would that be? [15:34] Well I already have Ubuntu installed, I assume I need to resize the partition and then install W7, but how do I then add it to grub? [15:34] swapping to a file [15:34] phlak_user: I can't even think of a reason why I didn't check them first... duh :) [15:35] my music pauses when I change session. Any remedies? [15:35] Do you know other tools for postfix greylisting with web interface than SQLGrey [15:35] ? === sree is now known as sreR [15:35] Guest24293: the recommended way is to install windoze 7 first and then Ubuntu [15:35] phlak_user i want to swap to a file, and my kernel does not natively support it, so i want to create a module for it [15:35] How long does it normally take to get a response on a bug you've submitted? [15:36] Thanks for responding phlak_user, I have installed this way before, but doing it now would require me to loose my current Ubuntu installation [15:37] Milp_main: do you mean that instead of a swap partition, you want to swap to a file? [15:37] Nibinaear: depends on who's assigned the bug [15:37] phlak_user well either swap to a file or swap to a partition which is a file mounted as loop device, any swapping at all, i just want my kernel to support swapping ;) [15:38] Guest24293: ok; its a little tricky; the Windoze 7 installation will overwrite the MBR and hence you would need to recover grub by booting off a livecd and running grub-install again [15:38] Milp_main: arent you on ubuntu? === Guest63937 is now known as karthi [15:39] I have a Sony Vaio VPC CW2S1E and I have problems installing Ubuntu on it. When I boot from a USB startup disc I end up with a blank screen. Does anyone know what's wrong? [15:39] phlak_user: well, im in a chroot ubuntu, the main system is android [15:40] Gotcha, I also have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on my grub, when I install W7 and it rewrites the boot, how will I go along adding both Lucid and 8.04? 8.04=BT4. [15:40] hello i was install redhat nash version in my system at that there is no internet connection now i have internet connection but i connect the network i do some changes in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfgconfig how can i take my machine to ethernet [15:40] phlak_user: How does one read the archive files of the syslog without individually extracting them? Is there a way to grep the .gz's? [15:41] martian: less archivefile.gz opens them normally (less is the command) [15:41] jungli, join #redhat, this is ubuntu support [15:41] phlak_user: Thanks! [15:41] martian, those are old logs though. The most current one isn't compressed [15:42] jungli, redhat? is Ubuntu somewhere in the picture? [15:42] Milp_main: im not sure i can help you there cos i would imagine that the chrooted ubuntu came with a default kernel that supports swap (just use swapon to enable) [15:42] hello [15:42] Im 11 [15:43] !hi | lola [15:43] lola: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay!

On top of that, the mysql server decided to not start up when the machine rebooted. [15:51] martian, Odd. I suspect hardware. linux doesn't just reboot because it's in the mood to. [15:51] my phone is set to descoverable [15:51] *discoverable [15:51] and bluetooth is enabled on both the devices [15:52] edbian: Of course not. I use the term 'decided' tongue-in-cheek ;) [15:52] martian: is the mysql server setup to start at boot? [15:52] ok i have disabled and enabled bluethoth on my system [15:52] PSU issues? [15:52] now hcitool dev shows device [15:53] phlak_user: yes, all other times I have manually restarted, it's done so just fine. [15:53] out [15:53] edbian: the strange thing is that this happaned to two separate (although same model dell server) machines in two separate buildings on the same night [15:53] martian: are they set to replicate each other's database? [15:54] martian, mmm, now you're on to someting... [15:54] phlak_user: but it still unable to connect to the phone [15:54] phlak_user: yes! [15:54] anyone know of a decent web-based management panel that works w/ ubuntu 10.04? free is best [15:54] MilindMK: sorry i dont know enough about bluetooth to help you further [15:54] martian: thats a start [15:54] ok np [15:55] thansk for your help [15:55] MilindMK: yw [15:55] martian: did you take a look at the mysql logs? [15:56] anyone know of a gui text editor like gedit that allows font color/weights etc? say, half way between vi and openoffice [15:56] zeroXten: gvim? [15:56] is there something like yakuake for gnome (so without kde-dependencies and working with gnome-terminal) [15:56] zeroXten, abiword [15:57] gvim supports wysiwyg font color?

I don't remember what it's called though [15:57] err iceroot [15:57] llutz: thx [15:57] edbian: abiword takes stupid amount of time to load a 15M file [15:57] gedit does it in seconds [15:57] iceroot: "tilda" too [15:58] i guess i'm after something like an rtf editor [15:58] llutz: i will have a look at tilda, because guake is hard to build for my custom ubuntu-distro. [15:58] phlak_user: well, they all go into syslog, and all I see is 'server started' when I started them this morning. The last record in syslog.1 just cuts off at 6:45 yesterday doing normal stuff.

[17:09] Chuck, Does it show up in lspci ? [17:10] lspci? [17:10] heff09: You'd probably want to talk to the flightgear people about that, I don't see why it would be any different than other Ubuntu releases (not that I know anything about flightgear anyway though). [17:10] patdk-wk, I may not be of much help since I wont run lucid until certain issues are solved so I am on karmic with the 256 driver [17:10] Chuck: lspci is a command you run in your terminal [17:10] someone saw the errors i got?!

[17:11] Dr_Willis: thx [17:12] patdk-wk, yeah I have maverick but it still has the same issues as lucid so I think I will wait because I have to test the upstream kernel to see if it solved these issues [17:12] It doesn't show up [17:12] Synamtic package manager freezes when i start it, any reasons this can happen ?

[17:15] but the buttons on my sound card allow me to adjust volume [17:15] tyranos_, is this a fix for the synaptic package manager or a work-around ? [17:16] well after the update it should work normally , or at least that was my experience [17:16] hyuukai, does it show up in the hardware tab (of sound preferences?) [17:16] nope neither does my onboard sound on my motherboard.

[17:38] soreau, I rather master the rsync command, but it's difficult to find clear info on it [17:38] Hello friends, I wished to use Chrome, but it uses too much memory. And, multiple tabs consume more memory, as it handles tabs as separate processes. [17:38] BiGViC, do you have a 64 bit system [17:38] OpenSourcedNick: man rsync? [17:38] So, does Chromium use less memory than Chrome? [17:38] soreau: no I have an ATI radeon 9800 pro and no tyranos_ I don't [17:38] ok well alsamixer doesnt run if i just type alsamixer or sudo alsamixer it says cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [17:38] OpenSourcedNick: you can use a hard link instead of symlink [17:38] soreau === jynn_ is now known as jynn-w [17:38] hyuukai: I'm not helping you anymore [17:38] hyuukai: have you tried installing it? apt-get alsamixer?

[17:39] OpenSourcedNick: Possibly. A hard link is like creating another link to the data that a file points to on the disk.

[17:42] OpenSourcedNick: the symlink will actually work as long as the path to the php files in your home directory is accessible by others [17:42] yeah tyranos_ I have an old Intel Celeron D CPU 3.2ghz and flash just eats it for breakfeast it ran better in Windows but not enough for me to go back though I like Linux a lot so far [17:42] OpenSourcedNick: then you must symlink it, but I think you'll find permissions will get a little sticky. It is better to have a directory NOT in your home and symlink to it from your home instead. [17:42] hyuukai: sorry "aptitude search alsamix" shows alsamixergui and gnome-alsamixer [17:42] Why couldn't I just RSYNC it? [17:42] hyuukai: so it would be one of them... [17:43] mbeierl: alsamixer is already installed by default [17:43] All's you have to do is type 'alsamixer' and done. [17:43] OpenSourcedNick: Well, then you're duplicating data and that's just silly. Have one place where it changes and you don't have to bother with the overhead that rsync involves. Also using rsync on local disks is silly. [17:43] soreau: doh! I see. well, I shouldn't jump in without reading first. thanks [17:43] inveratulo, ok, how do I symlink it then/ [17:44] BiGViC, that is nice to hear that you want to stick with linux, if you can use the command line, i ll tell you a secret google get_flash_videos there is a deb package for it and u can use it to watch 720p youtubes from the command line, there are also gui versions of that [17:44] mbeierl: I told the guy to run that someone else yelled 'install it' and now he's trying to install something that's already installed [17:44] OpenSourcedNick: so to recap: move what you've got in your home to somewhere else apache can get to it. symlink from apache's docroot to your content, and also symlink from your home to the content [17:44] mbeierl: dpkg -S alsamixer will tell you what package brings in the file [17:45] bastidrazor: got it, thanks.

[17:45] soreau: ah ... I get it now. ok. [17:45] OpenSourcedNick: symlink ftw :) [17:45] tyranos_: sounds nice man how does that work? [17:45] and I guess rsyncing is pointless [17:45] tyranos_: and yes I can use the command line [17:45] OpenSourcedNick: I've never had to mess with rsync directly [17:45] OpenSourcedNick: its just not the correct solution, its awesome for other things [17:46] inveratulo, like making coffee.. and then having it copied to other people! :) [17:46] hello everyone [17:46] can anybody help me? [17:46] (hopefully permissions would change respectively) [17:46] OpenSourcedNick: hehe, possibly. I always find it useful for moving stuff over tcp/ip, so keep that in mind.

[18:13] im well confused to how firefox has sound and vlc player does not :/ [18:13] hi ActionParsnip [18:13] hyuukai, vlc can choose which driver to use, and it also might be muted (in a per aplication basis) in sound preferences [18:13] Phong_: yo yo yo [18:13] ActionParsnip, do you know of foxmulder881 is here? [18:13] Hey, I installed ubuntu 6.06 from an old disc I had lying around after Windows crapped out on an old computer, I realize that this version is no longer supported but I had no other easy access to an operating system at the time. Everything was working fine, then I installed a bunch of the standard software updates and now Ubuntu doesn't even acknowledge that my wireless adapter exists... How can I fix this? [18:14] its not muted in sound applications so its a driver issue? [18:14] ActionParsnip: Its not there [18:14] Phong_: try: /whois foxmuler881 ,see what channels s/he is connected to [18:14] ooo ive got it [18:14] stupid thing [18:14] ActionParsnip: OpenOffice, Openssl, Openvt [18:14] hyuukai, does the sound work if firefox is open [18:14] is there a package for mysql workbench yet? [18:14] [b]Help[/b] [18:14] hyuukai, i mean if firefox closed [18:14] MrPink52: then try: scene and press tab a few times [18:15] tyranos i ahd to change output on vlc to unix oss audio output === himuraken_ is now known as himuraken-netboo === himuraken-netboo is now known as himuraken-netbk [18:15] [i]scsfcsdcsc[/i] [18:15] ActionParsnip: Scene gives me nothing [18:15] ActionParsnip, how come virtualbox is free....why not vmware? i assume vmware is better cause it has the cost to it [18:15] MrPink52: if all else fails you can extract the deb and see what files it contains, it may give clues [18:15] ActionParsnip, am i right? [18:16] MrPink52: avoid caps too, linux is extremely case sensitive [18:16] Phong_: there is a free version of vmware.. it is vmware-player [18:16] Phong_: vmware want to charge. Vbox could charge if they wanted also [18:16] ActionParsnip, isn't it products that has value is always better then free? [18:17] Phong_: because software costs money does not mean it is better [18:17] Phong_: if cost means better product then windows is better than linux? [18:17] ActionParsnip, maybe i'm wrong. [18:17] does anyone know how to make ubuntu re-recognize a wireless adapter? [18:17] '< :) [18:17] I had been here a little while ago complaining about /proc/net/arp being polluted by _something_. Uninstalling network-manager did the trick. I'm (still) on 8.10. [18:17] Phong_: with your theory, windows > gnu/linux [18:17] I wish to update-manager --devel-release ... and download all the packages, but not actually install them quite yet... [18:17] youevilmonkey: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will see what wireless chip you are using and can websearch for guides [18:17] youevilmonkey: is your base system still 6.06? [18:17] iceroot, where do they get the money for free product man [18:18] Phong_: support [18:18] iceroot, i'm sure someone is paying for programmers [18:18] iceroot, by whom? [18:18] Phong_: both have advantages and disadvantages, just like a comparison between any 2 products [18:18] bastidrazor- yes, the base system is still 6.06 [18:18] Having som trouble with sounddricers. If I start firefox and youtube before Spotify my sound in youtube etc works but not my Spotify. And if I start Spotify before I start Firefox my sound in Firefox doesn't work? [18:18] but life is quite tough without network-manager (especially on 8.10 which doesn't even have wicd)... :) civilization is convenient, but it isn't the most "right" way of living ;) [18:18] Phong_: i am working for a linux distributor and earn money [18:18] Phong_: and the software is of course free [18:18] iceroot, where do they have the money for u..since it's free products [18:19] Phong_: support, special development, consulting [18:19] !eol | youevilmonkey [18:19] youevilmonkey: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[18:19] Phong_, he said support which means this same thing people do here but for paying companies [18:19] Phong_: vbox has a non open version also. Canonical make money too by selling support and other things [18:19] quick question. I have an ethernet connection and dont need my computer to connect to wireless. can i set the unlock keyring feature not to come? [18:19] iceroot, i wish windows and mac and all other OS should be free ? [18:19] Sasquatch7: univention corporate server [18:20] iceroot: neat. [18:20] Phong_: i dont care about windows and mac os [18:20] But after Googling I think I may have a solution [18:20] Actionparsnip - i had to move my modem and connect through the ethernet port, it doesn't even show it as existing anymore [18:20] Phong_: they are seperate companies and wish to charge for their products [18:20] !ot | Phong_ iceroot [18:20] Phong_ iceroot: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:20] Phong_: you can pay iceroot with kittens [18:20] youevilmonkey: then reboot with it attached, run the command. Then use ethernet to find guides [18:21] Bastidrazor- it was my only option at the time since I had no internet access and only a disc for 6.06 [18:21] youevilmonkey: my bet is its a cheap broadcom thing. This guide will help you then [18:21] !broadcom | youevilmonkey [18:21] youevilmonkey: i completely understand.

Once logged in run: sudo lshw -C network ,then connect to the ethernet (if you haven't already) and find guides based on the product line in the command output [18:25] ubottu: I went to that link but i'm not understanding its instructions (this is the first time I've used any form of Linux in 8 years) [18:25] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:26] ok [18:26] Actionparsnip: I've rebooted a few times now and nothing has changed, is there something i should do before rebooting?

[18:57] aliv: i don't believe so [18:57] oh nevermind then [18:58] !xangua: thanks, I will look into that [18:58] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:58] aliv: but i'm not even sure what you mean by that [18:58] howdy folks. [18:58] its a program to run operating systems inside your computer [18:58] so you could do ex: run ubuntu on windows [18:58] I installed Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud edition and it didn't give me the information to log into the UEC when I installed. How do I login? [18:58] oh no, ubuntu is the only operating system on this computer now. [18:58] oh [18:59] Aliv3: Could some aspect of my Virtualbox config be the issue? [18:59] @chrishaum it might,but im not sure [18:59] Anybody know if there is a program or series of pictures I can download that I can use to calibrate my display colors? Gamma, brightness, etc? [18:59] xangua: do you install the linux-headers or the linux-image first? does it matter? [19:00] yes [19:00] Can anyone tell me if there is a better IRC channel for me to go to get help with my keyboard issue? Thanks! [19:00] no not really [19:00] try saying /msg [19:00] godzirra: I suggest asking in #ubuntu-server, they are more UEC knowledgable [19:00] Thank you Pici [19:01] etteyafed: setting up sudo? su is also a bad idea.. sudo -i is the proper way to get a root terminal session [19:01] whats uec? === mike_ is now known as Guest39003 [19:01] Aliv3: Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud [19:01] oh [19:01] I'm trying to follow the directions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx but i'm using ubuntu 6.06 and some of this isn't right (i don't see "Hardware Drivers" in the list) [19:01] I have a question [19:01] chrishaum, i looked into it but google didnt give me any results, and no i dont think there is a better channel [19:01] chrishaum" Tis is probably best place .. (1) need to be patient..(2) may need too wait till another time when different people are on. [19:01] if ubuntu is free how do you make money? [19:01] In the repo i see both a "mingw32" package as well as a "gcc-mingw32" package, and i can't install both... what's the diff? [19:02] Aliv3: this is only tech support [19:02] bastidrazor: That is opinion. I know people that think sudo is insecure. It really depends on the system in question, its purpose and who needs access. [19:02] OH [19:02] youevilmonkey: Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to 8.04 (or even 10.04) yet? [19:02] Aliv3: this channel, that is. Other issues and social chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:02] Aliv3: google opensource business model. off=topic [19:02] ok [19:02] Yes, until yesterday I was using windows but had some lame trojan that was impeding with my internet connection. I had had a disc for ubuntu 6.06 lying around for the last 4 years and it was really my only option [19:03] @jordan_u [19:03] youevilmonkey, download ubuntu 10.04 and burn it and see if your card works there ? [19:03] youevilmonkey: Can you connect via ethernet long enough to download a 10.04 CD? [19:04] youevilmonkey: you are on 6.06 currently? [19:04] youevilmonkey, if it works on 10.04 livecd then you should install it :) [19:04] tyranos- my internet is incredibly slow and I don't believe i have any blank CD's large enough for that. I have blank DVD's but I don't think I can write to them [19:04] youevilmonkey, you can burn it to a dvd === Strife89 is now known as Strife89|Desktop [19:05] Is there a way to mount my raid setup on the ubuntu Live CD? [19:05] I am still on 6.06 currently and I do not have access to a disc with a newer version [19:05] lol [19:05] tyranos i don't think this machine has the power to write to DvD [19:05] ubuntu 10.04 fits on a blank cd [19:05] blank cds don't really vary in size, so.... burn it. [19:05] get it off the internet at ubuntu.com [19:05] youevilmonkey: ok. 6.06 desktop was eol july last year. [19:06] I am aware of that, but it appears Ubuntu no longer sends free discs like they did 4 years ago [19:06] i still havent solved my problem [19:06] youevilmonkey: Yes they do. [19:06] Aliv3: contact your local ubuntu local community - they probably have cd's [19:06] youevilmonkey: To get 6.06 up to date (without even upgrading to a newer version like 8.04) will take more bandwidth than just downloading 10.04. [19:06] youevilmonkey, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ [19:06] hi i am using deluge 1.2.3 on lucid 64 bit. Everything was working amazingly well for 2 month. now i get no incoming connection. all these time uPNP was enabled in deluge and on my router netgear dg834g. btw i get the same problem with transmission.i googled but didnt find the answer. can someone help me [19:07] that link requires me to donate [19:07] darksifer, you can start transmission and in the options u can check if ports are open [19:08] :-) [19:08] no, it does not, it's only a suggestion, register and then you'll see youevilmonkey [19:09] youevilmonkey, do you have friend with a faster inet connection ? or someone that could burn you a newer version ? [19:09] @tyranos_: transmission says port closed [19:10] tyranos, yeah I guess a few, they're just all at work now and I'm somewhat impatient with this since it just spontaneously stopped working [19:10] I don't think it's the the old version that is the problem [19:10] youevilmonkey, shipit takes a few *weeks* [19:10] man [19:10] that sucks [19:10] gparted won't let me selected to format as NTFS, am i missing a package? [19:10] because the wireless card worked initially when i first installed 6.06. I had downloaded a bunch of software updates and it asked for a reboot. It was only after that reboot that the wireless adapter no longer worked [19:11] darksifer: http://portforward.com/ [19:11] i tried almost all solutions that are available in goole and in forum stil no results [19:11] youevilmonkey: find you ubuntu local community [19:11] Having som trouble with sounddricers. If I start firefox and youtube before Spotify my sound in youtube etc works but not my Spotify. And if I start Spotify before I start Firefox my sound in Firefox doesn't work? [19:11] youevilmonkey, newer ubuntu versions ship newer drivers for many devices and you have like a 4 years old version of ubuntu, i bet there are hundreds of new or improved drivers than in 6.06 [19:11] @bastidrazor: yes already tried that [19:11] youevilmonkey: Sorry, didn't realize because I still had the option (apparently because I'm a "contributor"). [19:11] But this wireless card is about 3 years old as well [19:12] youevilmonkey: Where do you live? You can probably get a free CD from a local LUG. [19:12] I have problem installing java on 10.04. can some one pleas help a noob? Please send me a msg if u think u can help with this [19:12] tyranos- i'll try it, but it will probably take about 2 days to finish the installations [19:12] Apparently i dont get this problem when i install a fresh copy of ubuntu everytime. but the solution is not so good. lol [19:12] Jordan_U- Riverside, California [19:12] gparted won't let me selected to format as NTFS, am i missing a package? [19:12] youevilmonkey: anyway, 6.06 is no longer supported. [19:12] Appetite, are you using a livecd ? [19:13] youevilmonkey: Then there's definitely a LUG near you that you can get a CD from. [19:13] Is there a better chat room that I should go to for nvidia graphics cards? [19:13] tyranos_: no, i'm reformating a usb flash drive [19:13] youevilmonkey: http://www.lalugs.org/ [19:13] Appetite, than unmout it first from nautilus [19:13] Appetite, if that doesnt work you may have to install ntfs-3g [19:13] tyranos_: it's showing me the abliity to format as ext3, etc, but just not ntfs, xfs, nfs [19:14] davidov009: well, you haven't stated your issue here, yet. So try this channel (if it is ubuntu related), and find out. [19:14] youevilmonkey, acerimmer: Actually Ubuntu's California LoCo team is quite active, they can be found in #ubuntu-us-ca [19:14] acerimmer - do you know if there's one in Riverside county anywhere? [19:14] @Appetite: you need to install ntfsprogs from synaptics [19:14] youevilmonkey: googlefu that link [19:14] thanks darksifer, i'll try that [19:15] oCean, i was just wondering if it was normal for an Nvidia Geforce 8600M GT to be running at or in excess of 60 celsius. [19:15] do i have to run: sudo sh VBoxlinuxAdditions-x86.run myself to work? [19:15] Even on idle, with solid black as desktop background. [19:15] Phong_: if autorun doesn't pick it up on its own, that works just fine [19:15] youevilmonkey: did you see my response? [19:15] davidov009, my hd3870 runs sometimes at 100 celsius [19:16] davidov009: you might try ##hardware on that issue [19:16] Guys have a big problem instaling ACL850 realtek soundcar on Ubuntu 10.04, Thanks in advance! [19:16] Phong_, i think you need to run it from inside the virtual box' linux [19:16] davidov009, mine is running at 77 right now [19:16] manowar3: I pray that he knew that part ;) [19:17] Okay. Anyone know the max safe temp rating on those things? === tyranos_ is now known as tyranos [19:17] davidov009, google should know that [19:17] davidov009: that's something the manual/specification for the hardware would tell you [19:17] I use "indicator applet session" to switch users. There is a timeout for how long until it ask password again. How do I change this timeout? [19:18] chrishaum, try joining ##hardware [19:18] !google | ubutom [19:18] ubutom: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [19:18] trying to get a bluetooth adapter to work(F8T001) on ubuntu 10.04... ? [19:18] is there a norwegian ubuntu channel? [19:18] davidov009: there's not a general answer anyway, some hardware operates in different temperature ranges than others. [19:18] !no | shootas [19:18] shootas: Hvis du vil diskutere på Norsk, vennligst gå til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [19:19] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and earlier today I got a complete system lock up and had to force a reboot. Now when I try to boot up I get a EXT4-fs error related to /proc and a Kernel panic caused by an I/O error. Is there any way to recover my system other than reinstalling? [19:19] manowar3, it works like a charm did u know that? [19:19] Anyone know if Ubuntu and ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphic card work well? I have installed the propretary drivers for my graphic card but the CPU usage is very high, espescially when moving around windows or surfing with firefox. === Zela is now known as divinity === divinity is now known as zela [19:20] nacitar, works like a charm [19:20] Ok ssh scenario. Want to creat an account that can ssh in but NOT have access to the local mounted NFS directories. Any ideas? Chroot of some sort? [19:20] oCean_, I am sure there are sithes out there that know the maximum temperature a gpu could and should have, especially hardware reviews, so why can't I tell to use google? [19:20] ubutom: because that is not why people come here. They know about google. [19:21] Having som trouble with sounddricers. If I start firefox and youtube before Spotify my sound in youtube etc works but not my Spotify. And if I start Spotify before I start Firefox my sound in Firefox doesn't work? [19:21] can anyone help me i am trying to flash my bios using freedos but i have no floppy don't want lectures the disks are not sold here anymore nobody carries them [19:21] nacitar, just trying to get an idea on typical temperatures that they run at. I know 100 celsius is critical temp for a lot of hardware. [19:21] It was in a conversation oCean_ , to tell to look in the instructions should have been bad then also, or what? [19:21] from KPackageKit when I do the software update -> refresh I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/KeAYbzEc [19:22] i installed freedos on a cd and it works and my bios update file is on there but i don't see it from freedos [19:22] joeubuntu: it might not be possible.. not all bios-flashing software runs in dos.. [19:22] davidov009, for a GPU 90 Celsius can be a normal temperature as well under heavy load [19:22] davidov009: Thats not something that is on-topic for #ubuntu, no would we be expected knowledgable about, ##hardware has already been suggested to you. [19:22] ubutom: no, the instructions is a good suggestion. We ask helpers not to suggest "go search google" [19:22] aekdroom: I had that happen once and when I rebooted it went through and did a disj check and reciver. You can force the check but I need to remember how. [19:22] joeubuntu, does your bios support USB-booting? you can make a bootable USB with freedos and the required flashing program and files ... [19:22] reciver=recover [19:23] i have a gigabyte board [19:23] yes it does but no usb drive [19:23] joeubuntu, well you need to look in the BIOS-menu .. to see if there's a option for botting of USB ... or in the manual of the mainbaord [19:23] why doesn't freedos see the file on the cd [19:24] there is but i do not have a usb flash drive [19:24] oCean_, I think you are projecting some bad intentions into me, so you are right, I will not tell to use Google, my bad [19:25] I use "indicator applet session" to switch users. There is a timeout for how long until it ask password again. How do I change this timeout? [19:25] my problem is no matter what i put freedos on it will not see the file [19:25] if it does not read it on the cd it won't on flash or anything else [19:26] freedos is useless if it does not read anything but its own files [19:26] Where can I get a plugin for "Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source" [19:26] ? [19:27] joeubuntu: This channel is for Ubuntu support, try #freedos on irc.i7c.org [19:27] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and earlier today I got a complete system lock up and had to force a reboot. Now when I try to boot up I get a EXT4-fs error related to /proc and a Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!. Is there any way to recover my system other than reinstalling? [19:27] i'm having some problems dealing with linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic, it wants to install whenever i try to install something else but it fails. [19:27] joeubuntu: Or, http://flashrom.org/Flashrom [19:28] i will but since i did the whole thing in ubuntu 10.04 i thought you could help [19:28] Daekdroom: oh god. Every other question on here is about ext4 dying. [19:28] I have very good question (IMHO). How do you get ext3 back again on ubuntu 10.04?! [19:28] Ocean_: Many people (not you of course) come here or other help chats and never evven tr to search or do not search effectively. Sorry, but please be understanding too. no one here gets paid, we are all volunteering information. [19:28] Is there a way to show my entire bash history instead of up-arrowing through it? i.e. is there a file I can just grep or something ? [19:28] poincare101: I haven't seen an ext4 question for over 2 hours and that was about the capabilities of that filesystem. [19:28] useless os you cannot even maintain your own hardware from it i should have stuck with windows [19:28] FunnyLookinHat, i think it's ~/.bash_history [19:29] FunnyLookinHat, also check the command `history` [19:29] manowar3: ah cool - thanks! [19:30] my computer just stops instead of booting up the ubuntu install from my USB key [19:30] sup with that eh? ;_; [19:30] Daekdroom, that looks really bad, try using a livecd and mount your partition and do a fsck -a [19:30] Reasking my question not out of impatience but so as I can input more information: Where can I get a Firefox plugin for "Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source" and/or "MMSH protocol source"? The automatic searches in Firefox aren't finding anything. I'm willing to install another browser if I have to (Chrome?). [19:30] MrWise: have you selected SCSI (or similar) on your bios? [19:30] hello [19:30] tyranos, well, I'm on the liveCD already and it mounted.. so...is there any danger to my other partitions? I don't mind screwing up this specific one, but spending a whole day reinstalling it.. [19:30] poincare101; what do you mean? [19:31] Yerushalmi, is it something related to mako and other israeli news websites or smt? [19:31] Yerushalmi: isn't mms handled by mplayer-plugin? [19:31] i need some help for built in webcam driver [19:31] MrWise: Boot device. did you select it properly? (yes, I have screwed that up before) [19:31] my laptop is lenovo [19:31] manowar3: Wow, how'd you guess? Yeah, I want to watch the World Cup matches on channel 1's site. [19:32] why are you guys know so much about linux [19:32] manowar3: Yeah - it was in ~/.bash_history - but you could also do something like history > log.txt and get it that way [19:32] i start to learn alot about ubuntu now [19:32] poincare101; yeah the usb is listed as a harddrive, and I put it above the actual harddrive in boot priority === Sami is now known as painkiller [19:32] FunnyLookinHat, good to know [19:32] llutz: No idea. I'm quite new to Ubuntu. [19:32] scotts: I fully agree - that's why we rather have helpers learning others how to effectively use Google then just say "google should know". (..learn a man to fish... et cetera) [19:32] manowar3, u're good right? [19:32] MrWise: On my computer (laptop), the flash drive was actually listed as another hard drive. Go ahead and check that. [19:32] Daekdroom, well if you dont want to lose your data try backing up first the other partition that are not affected and then do the fsck -a /dev/sdX# [19:32] Yerushalmi, you should've checked the israeli forums or israeli irc channel :) [19:32] hello [19:32] poincare101; that's what I just said [19:32] Yerushalmi, i'll search specific posts for you just a minute [19:32] any one can help me [19:33] manowar3, for some reason i found that vmware works better then virtualbox [19:33] manowar3, faster then virtualbox [19:33] Phong_, they are two differnet software [19:33] manowar3: Heh, thanks - I didn't think that this was a specific problem for here, I thought it was a general I-need-to-install-what-everyone-else-probably-already-has. [19:33] Phong_: the ubuntu pocket guide (google it) is very nice to get you started. [19:33] hello [19:33] poincare101, good advise [19:34] any body can help please [19:34] manowar3: And if I ask on the "ubuntu people from everywhere" channel I'm more likely to find someone who knows the answer. :) [19:34] aekdroom: was the machine accidentally powered off prior to this problem? That is what happened with me. And what tyronus suggested should work. [19:34] !resetpanels|Oer [19:34] Oer, please see my private message [19:34] MrWise: sorry :) hmm.... can you boot from a CD? is your usb port working? [19:34] tyranos, should I really have it mounted? fsck says it's dangerous [19:34] I don't have any CD to boot from around here, the USB port is working I can see the contents of the USB in windows, poincare101 [19:34] !manual>phong_ [19:34] phong_, please see my private message [19:35] what kind of link does ln -s /file /path/file make? and would a proper symbolic link be ln -sf /target /path/destination ? i can't tell the difference? [19:35] Daekdroom: Unmount before running fsck [19:35] Yerushalmi, i think it's because most israeli websites just use microsoft-friendly formats [19:35] MrWise: ooh. does it directly jump to your harddrive when you boot or does it do something weird like a system crash? [19:35] spezticle: symbolic links, both. -sf means just "force". read "man ln" [19:35] Jordan_U, hmm, k. Should I answer y to all questions? [19:36] manowar3: Indeed they do, the bastards :p [19:36] Daekdroom, you first mount the partitions u want to backup and then mount the faulty one [19:36] wow acerimmer [19:36] hello. when I use my usb headset under ubuntu I cannot regulate the volume. when I go under 100% sound is completly off. whats wrong? [19:36] Daekdroom: Yes. [19:36] Phong_: ? [19:36] acerimmer, u're good at giving that advise [19:36] haha [19:36] hello room [19:36] Daekdroom, if your data is on the same partition you have no other choice [19:36] i need support for linux [19:36] mkhader: ask [19:37] llutz: i did read it i was using that exact command but it wasn't making symbolic links. modification to /source didn't reflect changes in /path [19:37] mkhader: please don't use enter as punction. [19:37] poincare101; system crash I believe, just as I would assume it to boot from the USB, the boot text just jumps a row and it stays like that, and is unaffected ctrl alt del [19:37] !ask | mkhader [19:37] mkhader: 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. :-) [19:37] Yerushalmi, did you install the greasemonkey addon on firefox? [19:37] MrWise: hmmm... how did you create this boot disk? did you dd' it or actual used the program inside ubuntu? [19:38] poincare101; I created it as the instructions on ubuntu.com where you download the iso [19:38] spezticle: what kind of modification? [19:38] MrWise: ah. [19:38] acerimmer, i need to install webcam driver for my laptop lenovo 3000 n100 [19:38] it's also x86 so I'm not trying to isntall x64 on x86 or anything like that [19:38] manowar3: Never heard of it, but I'll be glad to do so [19:38] MrWise: so, you have an ubuntu system already up and running? [19:38] Done. Will try boot it up [19:38] poincare101; nope, windows [19:38] wal3: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/decibel-data.html [19:38] MrWise: did you use Unetbootin? === Paper is now known as p4p3r [19:39] Yerushalmi, basically you install greasemonkey, and then you add scripts to it, adn if fixes all kinds of things on different sites [19:39] Yerushalmi, this is the script that suppose to help with mako http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/36207 [19:39] Any e17 users here? I'm wanting for EFM to simply "follow" into folders instead of opening up each new folder as its own window [19:39] Jordan_U: thx. i'll try [19:39] Yerushalmi, i didn't try it myself so .... [19:39] wal3: You're welcome [19:39] poincare101; Universal USB Installer, that's the program ubuntu.com lists to use [19:39] manowar3, i think virtualbox is sux...i'm going to back to vmware..it's the best [19:40] Anyone know if Ubuntu and ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphic card work well? I have installed the propretary drivers for my graphic card but the CPU usage is very high, espescially when moving around windows or surfing with firefox. [19:40] manowar3: Interesting. I'll check it out. Although I also need one for Mabat, I'll look around for it. thanks! [19:40] MrWise: ah. [19:41] llutz: it's apache stuff /etc/apache2/sites-enabled to /etc/apache2/sites-available , when i do the command and edit /sites-enabled files and go back to /sites-available, the available file is original, where enabled file has the modifications [19:41] MrWise: try it again, if it doesn't work, try using Unetbootin, I have done it successfully with that program. [19:41] what is meant by Host +F in virtual box [19:41] what is Host key? [19:41] poincare101; I would bet that this USB would boot on any other machine though [19:41] right shift [19:41] what? [19:41] isn't there a gnome launcher that you can call like " myapp arg arg arg" that runs the app outside the shell? [19:41] is there any way to install ubuntu from windows? [19:41] is the default host key for vbox [19:41] right shift + F = host + F? [19:41] Phong_, or control [19:41] as if i hit alt-f2 and typed the command there. [19:41] Phong_ yes [19:41] ok [19:41] thanks [19:42] Phong_, you can change that key to other key if you want [19:42] how to disable ip6 in lucid? [19:42] llutz: which tells me i'm not making the symbolic link correctly because it's not linked to the orig file it's making a new file [19:42] spezticle: then you did the command wrong and haven't created a link. "ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled" [19:42] Phong_ you can change it, but I believe that by default it's right control; (not shift as I said) but not sure, try both [19:42] manowar3: That was an unintentional quit, had to restart firefox to finish installing Greasemonkey. Thanks for the help! [19:42] llutz: ah, ls not ln? that would be why lol [19:43] nacitar: alt + f2 [19:43] spezticle: nope, paste the output of that command please [19:43] Yerushalmi, so it works?

[19:49] poincare101; couldnt I install it through wubi then convert the filesystem and remove windows?

[19:50] mkhader : I haven't found any for mine yet, I don't carfe about my webcam, but i'd really like my ps2 controller to work though [19:50] MrWise: just making a CD would be very simple and easy.

[20:01] buppa_: ATI tends to suck with Ubuntu, might work better with other distros, but I think its mainly lack of manufacture support why there are issues. Altough I think ATI is working on a new driver that will work quite a bit better when ready. [20:02] Can someone recommend a graphical SCP client for gnome?

[20:12] how to install gnome on ubuntu server edition 9.10? [20:12] jugglerbry: You could remove the package with apt/synaptic. But try just reconfiguring the package for that particular kernel version, it may have been interrupted in the process of installing when you powered off the VM. [20:12] poincare101; what about... net boot install? what is required for that [20:12] MrWise: can you burn a CD? or, if you can't, try the builtin ubuntu inside unetbootin [20:12] ne7work: install ubuntu-desktop [20:13] MrWise: I netboot server. Its slow and sometimes error prone. I've never had the heart to try it. [20:13] MrWise, probably just a host and the ability to boot from ethernet [20:13] ne7work: normally you woudn't want to install a GUI into the server edition, I mean people. Also you could run servers in the desktop version, but then no server specific kernel, and no five years of support. Also if you put Gnome into the server edition Gnome won't be supported five years.

[20:59] system hangs shortly after I choose install ubuntu server, I see one line of text flash by and then around 12 blinks of an underscore, then it just stops [20:59] erUSUL: but im running 10.04, isnt that suppose to have the latest kernel [20:59] guntbert, thanks for admitting that it was you :P [20:59] ;) [20:59] shadows090, What are you talking about? [20:59] miazgator: could be different wm or browser [20:59] Keyboard reaction is extremely slow in Ubuntu, what gives? [21:00] well, not extremely slow, but evidently, there are letters that are being missed. [21:00] Firefox on gnome vs firefox on kde = KDE wins [21:00] ManDay: no, it wasn't me [21:00] erUSUL: will installing the new kernel have any effects on the applications and setting i already installed and configured [21:00] shadows090, I got it BTW [21:00] miazgator, at what, speed? [21:00] darko3d: not usually [21:00] on fullscreen flash in gnome is laggy when it comes to interaction [21:00] edbian: oh jeez i'm sorry i misread your original question. i just found the answer, but you just said you got it [21:00] guntbert, ah, okay [21:00] hi, I want to reconfigure my touchpad in a way that I can use its right part as a scroll wheel instead of scrolling with two fingers, however I'm not even sure it's really recognised as a touchpad... what can I do? [21:00] ManDay: only -- I *can* read back :-) === samiz is now known as sami [21:01] I have had a look at the forums and everything === sami is now known as _sami_ [21:01] shadows090, ha ha. Yeah, thanks for the effort though! [21:01] both playback perfectly but in gnome flash player controls are laggy and unresponsive [21:01] miazgator, yeah well it's not until a couple of versions back when you couldn't play full-screen flash in gnome at all because it was VERY Laggy... but I think it was a problem with KDE as well [21:02] Can I install xubuntu if I got win7+rescue partition? [21:02] for some reason Konqueror has flawless, perfect same as windows performance in fullscreen [21:02] guntbert, you enjoy that, heh [21:02] ;P [21:02] was 9.04 recently updated to the 2.6.24 kernel ? [21:02] gothenburg: Yes, of course. But Lubuntu is better :P [21:02] heard that I can't have more than 4 partitions [21:02] Firefox is just a step behind but only a little step [21:02] gothenburg: 4 primary partitions [21:02] remanifest: lxde is nice [21:03] miazgator: Compiz is likely your wm in gnome, kwin with kde. [21:03] gothenburg, yes you should be able to. depending on how many partitions you may have to do it on an extended partition [21:03] Jordan_U, for reasons i don't understand, the core.img method worked. thank you very much [21:03] hey isnt suspend the same as standby on windows, or am i getting it wrong, if not what is the equivalent of standby [21:03] soreau that's correct, compiz isn't the source of problem, as I tried other wms, metacity included [21:03] guzu: You're welcome. [21:03] problem with ts3 and sound anyone can give a hand please???????????????????????? [21:03] darko3d: suspend to ram = standby from windows [21:03] shadows090: huh? [21:03] miazgator: well that was my only idea [21:04] miazgator: Have you tried konqueror in gnome? [21:04] darko3d: suspend to disc = silent mode? (dont know the english word) [21:04] if aptitude full-upgrade is synonymous with dist-upgrade, how do i upgrade while staying with an LTS version? [21:04] well when i click suspend it just locks the window and doesnt go into standby [21:04] soreau no and I dunno if it is worth to bother [21:04] gothenburg, you can install xubuntu (or whichever), but depending on how many partitions you already have on the hard drive it may have to be done in an extended partition (which you can configure with gparted IIRC) [21:04] miazgator: then why are you bothering to ask? [21:04] soreau shitloads of dependancies [21:04] kermit: dist-upgrade doesnt mean "upgrade to a new ubuntu-version" [21:04] gothenburn, you can have 4 primary partitions on a disk. If you want more, one primary would contain the extended partitions, so you could have 3 usable primary partitions and about as many as you want of extended partitions [21:04] !language miazgator [21:04] iceroot: oh [21:04] miazgator: I thought you had kde and gnome on the same system [21:05] iceroot: what command does [21:05] kermit: have a look at man apt-get for the difference between upgrade ad dist-upgrade [21:05] !language | miazgator [21:05] miazgator: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:05] soreau because I want an explanation, I've got Kubuntu and Ubuntu separate os-es [21:05] !upgrade | kermit [21:05] kermit: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:05] shadows090: okay. So the installer doesn't automatic... ? [21:05] kermit: sudo do-release-upgrade [21:05] you'll have to select advanced install when you're given the option of where to install it IIRC, it's been a while since i've done it [21:05] miazgator: Well if you dont want to try anything and then dont ask for help to fix it [21:05] can u tell me how can i make ALSA work in 5.1 mode in all applications? now i have 5.1 but only one app can use sound [21:05] shadows090: okay [21:06] sup [21:06] shadows090: only installer xubuntu in virtualbox before [21:06] soreau I guess it's a gnome problem, gnome is ignorant to serious problems unlike KDE [21:06] gothenburg; the installer should have gparted on it [21:06] ok [21:06] Now I must find a good laptop... :D [21:07] well i have 5.1 with analog input but ts3 doesnt recognize the mic [21:07] iceroot: thanks [21:07] Hi [21:07] like most €800 [21:08] when i click suspend it just locks the window and doesnt go into standby [21:08] hi folks,, i have been messing with my gnome panels, and i've lost the network manager applet [21:08] anyone know what i have to re-add to the panel to get it back? [21:09] NET||abuse, It's in the notification area applet. [21:09] NET||abuse: notification area [21:09] How do i get alsa working? [21:09] NET||abuse: right click? [21:09] NET||abuse, I know, kinda tricky to find. On my system I don't use it at all ;) I just set up the files correctly. [21:09] PhoenixSTF: unmute in an alsamixer [21:09] PhoenixSTF: It should work on fresh install, what sound card fo you have check here for support http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main [21:09] NET||abuse, Did you find it? [21:09] edbian, gothenburg i added notification area already,, but the nm-applet isn't running, not visible [21:09] happ [21:10] I don't use gnome (shit) [21:10] I use Windows xp :D [21:10] I am trying to run make on a program, and it can't find any of the GL functions starting with glViewport.... I have mesa installed, any idea why it can't find them and what I can do to fix the problem ? [21:10] NET||abuse, sudo apt-get install nm-applet [21:10] ? [21:10] MrPink52: have you compilers? [21:10] how can i see that which jfs module is loded in kernel ? [21:10] mtx_init: i have a realtek ACL:850 but the problem is i got 5.1 configured with mic in the system and it works, but Teamspeak3 doesnt recognize the mic!! [21:10] gothenburg: I have gcc and g++ [21:10] ok [21:11] blockcold, lsmod [21:11] MrPink52: You are likely missing dependencies. Can you pastebin the complete failed output to pastebin.org? [21:11] blockcold: grep -i jfs /boot/config-$(uname -r) [21:11] soreau: yes one second [21:11] NET||abuse, ok what? Ok it worked? Ok I'll install that... ? [21:11] i click on the new panel option and i think it added an invisible panel to the right, how do i remove that [21:11] PhoenixSTF: Go into Sound Preferences and make sure your input device is properly set === highguy is now known as foolguy [21:12] that got it back, i had to kill the old process. [21:12] soreau: This is after running make a few times, so only the error part: http://pastebin.org/323438 [21:12] NET||abuse, awesome. Glad you got it! :) [21:12] thanks llutz edbian [21:12] soreau I witnessed problems with flashplayer on diffrent computers I installed Ubuntu on [21:12] how do I open a winrar file on ubuntu? [21:12] blockcold, no problem [21:12] mtx_init: i did and its working in the system, the mic is recognized and active! [21:12] foolguy, install the rar archive manager thingy. [21:12] soreau: I mean the playback is ok but the fullscreen controls ain't [21:12] ZykoticK9: It worked! You are so awesome, I've been working on this for months and nobody could figure it out! Thanks! :) [21:12] foolguy: install unrar or unrar-free ? [21:13] Anyone know if Ubuntu and ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphic card work well? I have installed the propretary drivers for my graphic card but the CPU usage is very high, espescially when moving around windows or surfing with firefox. [21:13] PhoenixSTF: Thats a application problem then, I guess maybe theres a setting for the program [21:13] buppa_: are you using compiz? [21:13] Yerushalmi, glad you got it fixed! [21:13] gothenburg, yes, but its still the same if i turn off compiz [21:13] buppa_: ok [21:14] Hello. I added some directories to the "Places" area in Nautilus. How can I rename an item there? [21:14] and now I head home and get some much-needed sleep. G'night! [21:14] MrPink52: Try installing libglut3-dev [21:14] Ati and GNU/Linux aren't friends as far as I know.. [21:14] vlt, Open some folder at look at the right. [21:14] soreau: ok one sec, I will give it a shot [21:14] i clicked on the "new panel" option in the top panel and i think it added an invisible panel to the right, how do i remove that [21:14] pcmanfm <3 [21:14] vlt, and by right on mean left. [21:15] soreau: can I just run make after installing additional libs or do I have to run make clean ? [21:15] s/on/I [21:15] !openoffice [21:15] a free and open source office suite that includes word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components.

User help available in #openoffice.org. [21:15] MrPink52: Also libgl1-mesa-dev if you dont already have it (no you do not need make clean) [21:15] MrPink52: Just run make again [21:15] for what i need partitions for / for /home and for what else? [21:15] ne7work, Bare minimum you need / and /swap [21:16] ne7work, If you don't have a separate /home it will just be placed in /. It is a good idea to have a /home though. [21:16] buppa_, install fusion-icon and then check the compiz options in there and see if it changes something especially when moving windows the option are indirect rendering and loose binding [21:16] edbian: ok, and then? [21:16] gothenburg: thanks! [21:16] soreau: I already have that... and i am still getting the same error :-/ [21:16] /swap should be 2*mem ? [21:16] vlt, See the folders on the left? Those are the same that are in the places menu. You change there names and such right there. [21:16] edbian: What I tried was: right click -> rename [21:16] aloww smuanya [21:16] MrPink52: What program is this? [21:17] soreau: FKTL [21:17] tyranos, do i write sudo apt-get install fusion-icon in terminal to install that? [21:17] buppa_, yes [21:17] mtx_init: the program has the input audio selected but doesnt get any audio to it its like if i turn the program test on, the system has no output on the mic, the moment i turn it of, mic is working on system [21:17] gothenburg, That's a rule of thumb. It's good up until about 2GB of ram. Really 2GB of swap is enough. 4GB or more of swap is a TON. You won't ever fill it. [21:17] edbian: Then I typed the new name and hit Return. AS soon as I did this the old name was shown. What do I have to do? [21:17] i clicked on the "new panel" option in the top panel and now when i maximize a windows there's a black space from the right [21:17] MrPink52: can you link me to the source code? [21:18] edbian: mhm [21:18] vlt, What are you trying to rename? Folders? Just go rename them? [21:18] mtx_init: i think its a problem with the pulse audio [21:18] MrPink52, do you have a nvidia card ? [21:18] edbian: Independent /tmp can be safe too [21:18] soreau: sry FLTK http://www.fltk.org/software.php?VERSION=2.0.x-r7513 version 2.0 [21:18] edbian: is 64 bits good now? [21:18] gothenburg, What do you mean? [21:18] gothenburg: yes [21:18] gothenburg, 64 bit ubuntu? [21:18] edbian: I want to rename the "link" to the folder in the "Places" on the left left. [21:18] mhm [21:18] tyranos: To be honost I am not exactly sure... its an onboard Intel Graphics Card in my laptop [21:18] Is it "safe" and the program works fine with 64 bit instead of 32? [21:19] gothenburg: the 64-bit version of Ubuntu works perfectly, if this is your question. === aineko is now known as eigensteigen [21:19] vivien, gothenburg You can have a separate / /var /tmp /usr /home [21:19] I know [21:19] MrPink52, give me a link to the tar package u re trying to compile [21:19] PhoenixSTF: tbh im not really sure [21:19] gothenburg, Yeah. Do you know what 64bit arch is used for though? [21:19] MrPink52: ok let me see if I can get it built [21:19] titicaca [21:19] edbian: nah [21:20] mtc_init thanks anyway m8 [21:20] soreau: thanks!

[21:20] paraintj: ubuntu installed with netboot :) [21:20] paraintj: dsl [21:21] gothenburg, 64 bit architecture OS should only be used on a system with a 64 bit processor and >3GB of ram. 64 bit allows you to map the addresses 4GB of ram (or more). It is also more efficient at the programming level. [21:21] separate /home is good if you want to reinstall your system. But yeah [21:21] MrPink52: Ok I see it has a makefile but it also has a configure script. Did you run ./configure first? [21:21] ne7work: independent /home is not for performance. See gothenburg comment [21:21] edbian: okay :) [21:21] tyranos: ntel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [21:22] cant anybody help [21:22] ne7work, I none of those separate partitions increase performance. They are useful if your hard drive fails or you want to reinstall the OS. The data on separate partitions won't be lost. [21:22] i clicked on the "new panel" option in the top panel and now when i maximize a windows there's a black space from the right [21:22] soreau: I just saw that, ran configure and then tried make, still the same error [21:22] gothenburg, Any more questions? [21:22] paraintj : I quite like puppy linux [21:22] gothenburg: how can arch be stable? [21:22] Does anyone know how to actually rename one of the "links" in the "Places" section in Nautilus? What key do I have to press after rightClick->rename->typing_the_new_name to apply? [21:22] lieb: ot [21:22] anyone know a good graphical editor in Ubuntu? one that shows a tree of my files in the current directory and allows me to edit files? [21:22] how much space do you need for / partition really? is 10 GB a lot or ok, is 150 GB too much? Consider you add another called /home [21:22] gedit doesn't seem to have this drawer with a tree of my files [21:22] miazgator: what? He asked for one small dist [21:22] the new 5.0.1 is pretty much built on lucid [21:23] dekroning, you mean a file manager? [21:23] Vooloo: 10 is ok, 150 is way too much. i'm using 10, but if i had to make a new install, i'd make it 20 [21:23] gothenburg: fast and stable :P [21:23] dekroning: gedit should be able to do this [21:23] i read an article about pimping gedit and it said that there' [21:23] dekroning: what do you mean by a tree of files in current directory? [21:23] lieb: aha [21:23] Vooloo, 10Gb is good. My / is 7GB and has been about 1/2 full for over a year now. [21:23] I don't think arch is gonna be stable for long time, it's rolling release [21:23] ok, im having a hard time connecting to my seedbox via lftp. its an sftp server so i use lftp sftp://username.site.adress.com:port and i will be prompted for my password which i enter. Then when i !ls i just get the output of the directory i was in before i ran lftp, i.e servers /home [21:23] MrPink52, what are you trying to compile ? give me a link so i can try it and see what i can do for you [21:23] that there's a plugins package that can be downloaded but i cant find it [21:23] LjL: ok thanks, I will put more in /home [21:23] i read an article about pimping gedit and it said that there's a plugins package that can be downloaded but i cant find it [21:24] you can use a link if the size of root doesn't work fine. Like with games [21:24] hi there. Just trying to compile ufoai on Ubuntu Karmic 64 and found out that libmxml-dev is missing in the debian section of required packages [21:24] I think [21:24] I take that you don't like puppy, I've tried dsl and it never really worked right for me, also puppy uses a 2.6 kernel and not a 2.4, so dsl is good for really really old machines [21:24] !info gedit-plugins | darko3d [21:24] darko3d: gedit-plugins (source: gedit-plugins): set of plugins for gedit.

The easiest way to know is to mv the Makefile then rerun the script. It will create a new Makefile if it succeeds [21:25] miazgator, arch will never be as stable as debian or even ubuntu because it is rolling. The packages are updated every week. They don't have a new version ever 6 months. Essentially they have a new version every week. [21:25] vivien: i want to do something like: cd ~/src/my_code && gedit . [21:25] MrPink52, give me a couple minutes [21:25] edbian: that's why arch will never be stable at all [21:25] soreau: I can try that [21:25] vivien: so i see all my files in a nice file manager and allow me to select which files i want to edit [21:25] You can also boot a live CD and change the partitions on the disk (shrink or grow them) but it is slow. [21:25] MrPink52: It built here so pastebin the output of dpkg -l|grep dev|grep -i gl|grep -v grep [21:25] Vooloo, Those images will go in /home automatically. [21:26] dekroning: Have you tried emacs? It does that. [21:26] MrPink52, version number ? [21:26] soreau, check your command again [21:26] tyranos: what? [21:26] vivien: ok thanks i'll try that [21:26] hi, I have a video resolution limit of two and one refresh rate. How do I get the full capability?

[21:26] ever since i installed ubuntu 3 days ago, i downloaded around 2 gbs worth of packages, is there a way for me to backup the packages i downloaded for future use [21:26] yes, [21:26] tyranos: man grep [21:26] k [21:27] dekroning: "emacs ." opens the directory in dired mode. It is a very powerful mode. Generally speaking, if you can invest some time on Emacs, it is well spent. This software can do about everything. A long-term companion...

Very odd, are you sure it's connected? Does it show up in dmesg? Plug it in and remove it a couple times and see if it shows up in dmesg [21:32] DigitalFlux, Maybe the USB port is dead? [21:32] soreau: I have libglu1-mesa-dev already [21:32] soreau: ok makefile is back in place [21:32] MrPink52: What about libgl1-mesa-dev? [21:33] soreau: have that too [21:33] MrPink52: I dont know why its failing then.. worksforme here :P [21:33] edbian: the USB port works with my 3G USB modem and other devices just OK [21:33] dmesg shows nothing [21:33] /var/log/messages shows only 3 lines [21:33] Jun 10 23:32:49 GMini kernel: [ 734.188081] usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 [21:34] Jun 10 23:32:50 GMini kernel: [ 734.323895] usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [21:34] Jun 10 23:32:50 GMini kernel: [ 734.328678] scsi24 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [21:34] Sorry for the flood .. [21:34] soreau: Is there any reason its not finding the gl libraries? I mean can I tell the linker to look for them in specific directories ? [21:34] DigitalFlux, Then the system doesn't even see that something is being plugged in. Are you sure it's not USB 1.0 and you're using 2.0 devices or something? I think this is a hardware problem. [21:34] peppe === peppe2 is now known as Guest36433 [21:34] MrPink52: you really shouldnt have to do anything special in a typical setup other than install the -dev packages [21:35] edbian: It's an HP 2140 netbook, so it is 2.0 [21:35] edbian: May be i will check the BIOS settings .. === Tanner is now known as TannerF_ [21:36] anyone know things about managing subversion, from an admin's point of view? do you create the svn folder structure [branches, tags, trunk] within the /var/svn/projects folder? or do you do it where your code is, that you want to commit ? [21:36] DigitalFlux, Something is up. dmesg should at least recognize something is plugged in. Even if it doesn't work at all. I could probably jam some ancient modem in there and dmesg would print something. [21:36] edbian: I see [21:37] thanks alot guys, the mic problem has been fixed [21:39] but the new kernel update seems to have broken my nvidia driver [21:39] how do i fix it [21:39] soreau: tyranos: Any ideas what to do from here?

It opens the shutdown menu here on a fresh install of 10.04. [21:40] yea u boot into the console and run the .sh file [21:40] remanifest: is there a linux version?? [21:40] u should install the drivers that are under protected drivers in ubuntu tho [21:40] then u wont have to do that [21:40] MrPink52, i just successfully compiled that, let me try on the eeepc which has a intel cardlike yours [21:40] profxavier: you might want to try a development channel like #ubuntu-begginers-dev or one of the others. I have limited experience with that tool, but unlike cvs it seems to really want to be in the development directory structure for easiest use. [21:41] darko3d: Yes.

[21:43] i know that [21:43] remanifest: at the login it gave an error that said the driver failed, is that normal, i mean, cant i fix the driver i already installed yesterday without have to re download it [21:43] what i mean [21:43] is: [21:43] !enter | Cyrosius [21:43] Cyrosius: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === denny_ is now known as denny [21:43] title of the windows is not just after the buttons [21:43] alright [21:43] darko3d: Yes of course.

[21:44] how do you know the partition to which grub is installed ? [21:44] am, guys, it it possible to disable compiz for concrete app, like openoffice, for example? [21:44] MrPink52: You seem to be having some kind of linker error but no idea why since I cant reproduce it [21:44] MrPink52: This is ubuntu 10.04? [21:44] erUSUL ... so you press shift at the same time to get "@"? [21:44] soreau: yes a fresh install [21:45] !fr | steven78700 [21:45] darko3d: Simply download the driver from the nvidia website and run the install script [21:45] steven78700: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[21:45] soreau: for some reason it just can't find the Open GL Libraries... but I dont know why and I dont know how to tell the Linker where to look [21:45] cmdlinenewbie: probably... GNU screen I guess ? [21:45] again, in one line: i use now elementary theme, title buttons are on the left, ok with that. then the title is not just to the right of the buttoms, it's centered but slight to the right. what i want is the window name next to the right of the title buttons [21:45] Hey guys. I'm having a weired problem with my squid.. My server has 2 NICs, static IP. From server, I can access the internet without problem... And I can ping the client too.. But the client can't access the internet... [21:45] cmdlinenewbie: where do you see this key designation?

[21:46] I'm trying to create a package of a program I have the source for. I used dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot but the last line of output when running that command I get is "dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Failed to sign .dsc and .changes file" [21:46] hey im having troube installing screem on the new lucid lynx, any help??? [21:46] how do you know the partition that grub is installed in? [21:46] MrPink52: because it doesnt make sense that it would work here, unless some other dep is missing (which is seeming less likely) [21:46] remanifest: ok, thanks [21:46] I'm not sure if it's created the .deb package or not - where would the resulting package be? [21:46] Undeon: #ubuntu-server is probably the better place for that [21:46] darko3d: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us [21:46] scotts ... I see it with byobu. I accidentally switched the keybindings of the original configuration. [21:47] thanks guntbert =) [21:47] soreau: hmm is there a way to compare environment variables...

[21:48] cmdlinenewbie: I would really suggest changing it to something without the shift. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the app to know where you do that. That me be the question you want to ask.

[21:52] 10.04.1 installed gnokii 0.6.28 (universe/comm) with "apt-get install gnokii". Apparently gnokii has a later version and is available in universe: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnokii/ . Shouldn't "apt-get upgrade" upgrade this package to 0.6.29? Using default /etc/apt/source.list [21:52] erUSUL: Really? it takes 2 minutes [21:53] Im0: if it is a metapackage, yes [21:53] erUSUL: Also, if someone updates to their own kernel before the repositories do, what other option is there?

The workaround suggested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/439448/comments/64 does not restore it, nor do any of the other icons appear confused, so I don't [21:54] think it's that bug.

[22:12] Jordan_U: really sorry, I'm a bit of a newbie - what would the line look like in menu.lst [22:12] (Ubuntu Lucid) [22:12] @vivien i neet to install on native ubuntu [22:12] sorry [22:12] Why isn't this script working anymore? http://pastebin.com/ED9nxydZ [22:12] ok [22:12] specifically need the kernel and initrd line [22:12] Aliska_: it's for eeepc, whose screen is netbok remix targeted for. But is Canonical making some special restrictions on it? Is there a conspiracy here about forcing non-US people to follow the US understanding of legality and pay for free mp3 codec? This what I have mostly looks like if repos were cut down in a very ugly manner. [22:13] Mundix: Ok! No idea. Never cam across UT2004 myself! [22:13] :S [22:13] willwork4foo: "kernel /boot/linux" "initrd /boot/initrd.gz" [22:13] anyone here that knows something about ubuntu server [22:13] cool thanks, I guessed that [22:13] willwork4foo: You're welcome. [22:14] micael, just ask [22:14] is there a way to install a - package but allow it to be accesed with just commsnds? ie, install irb1.9.1 but have the irb command work (other than a manual symlink)? [22:14] hey if a new version of ubuntu comes out, do i have to delete everything and install it or can i update from the update manager? [22:14] Update it through the manager. [22:14] !upgrade | darko3d [22:14] darko3d: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [22:14] bauer_ i have installed it but i am new and like to know if tere is any gui [22:15] <|DeMolay|> micael: if ou downloaded 10.04 server and you want a gui you must install it [22:15] mmarc__1: Do you have universe and multiverse enabled? [22:15] micael, dont ask mee just ask. there is 1580 in here [22:15] i dont know how to write in command [22:15] <|DeMolay|> server has only a command line [22:15] <|DeMolay|> sudo apt-get install anything-you-want === hpmini is now known as miniuser [22:16] i.e. sudo apt-get install cheeseburgerdiespenser [22:16] dispenser* :( [22:16] micael: if you want the standard ubuntu desktop you can run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:16] Pitty we can't get apt-get all things in life. :( [22:16] Demolay is the server only command line [22:16] <|DeMolay|> like kinks says [22:16] sudo su x) [22:16] <|DeMolay|> yep [22:16] lol [22:16] SirMoo: Agreed! [22:16] so which is betterm kde or gnome?? [22:16] Jordan_U: I've got main, universe, restricted and multiverse. The full set it is, correct? [22:16] sudo apt-get love [22:16] !rootshell | Nerran [22:16] Nerran: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [22:16] darko3d: lmao [22:16] darko3d: depends on your taste [22:16] darko3d: Totally subjective, but I like KDE better [22:16] mmarc__1: Correct. [22:16] erUSUL: I know :P [22:16] ^^ [22:16] kde is ok [22:16] agree with remanifest [22:17] Jordan_U: IT WORKS!!!!!!!! [22:17] at least for now, io switch between kde and gnome a LOT [22:17] thanks so much - I'd not thought of that approach! :) [22:17] i* switch [22:17] * kinks uses neither kde or gnome. [22:17] lol me too [22:17] remanifest: any reasons? [22:17] I have been wrestling with bootable USB sticks for HOURS [22:17] mmarc__1: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy vlc"? [22:17] darko3d: But I use LXDE and Enlightenment [22:17] alecbenzer i have the server on a old pc now but it is only command line [22:17] willwork4foo: You're welcome :) [22:17] Jordan_U: ookay, then I'll try to switch to main server. RU-server has bad reputation for me, since it already has errors some months ago [22:17] i like xfce a lot [22:17] * kinks uses ion3 :p [22:18] remanifest: the whata whata? [22:18] right - I'm off to get this system rolled up, THANKS!!!!!! [22:18] darko3d: It's much more "complete" to me, seamless integration, the apps (i feel) are higher quality [22:18] micael: if you need a gui, get to a terminal and run the following command 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' this should set things up so that you have a gui [22:18] micael, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:19] darko3d: I prefer KDE over Gnome. If you faster software, use XFCE. If you want even faster and with full control (you need to be advanced user), have a look at Fluxbox. [22:19] micael, takes time and afterwards you reboot [22:19] remanifest: so if were to switch to kde would that affect the software i installed [22:19] hey, i have a question... [22:19] vivien: you need to be willing to learn, not so much an 'advanced user' [22:19] darko3d: Nope [22:19] potato: you don't need to ask to ask === administrator is now known as Guest18825 [22:19] KDE annoyed me too much to the point I just put Studio Edition on my computer. [22:19] who invented asking to ask anyway? I would like to shoot them. [22:19] darko3d: You can have KDE and Gnome and XFCE and LXDE and Enlightenment and Openbox and on and on [22:20] And all apps will work across all the desktops [22:20] kinks: lol, i had that urge when i was first introduced to irc [22:20] i read somwhere that gedit is the default editor with gnome, but it still works in kde, right? [22:20] the beauty of linux [22:20] i have a hard drive that was for back up, its about 10 gigs, how do i gain access to it? [22:20] kinks: well, if you have to go through the config files, installing you own panel and so forth... it is for advanced users. At least people playing well with computers. [22:20] Yeah, it'll work just fine in KDE [22:20] potato: is it hooked up to your computer? [22:20] im on a laptop [22:20] Jordan_U: It seems I was right. RU-server is the source of my errors again. Could we kich them somehow? [22:21] should I be seeing a high cpu load when sending files over nfs? [22:21] 'llo. How can I check (in the console) whether my nic is transmitting with 1000 or 100 mbit? [22:21] potato: ok, so, is it an external hard drive? [22:21] What is the best compression type for 10MB of files? .zip? 7zip? .tar ? [22:21] someone was helping me with subversion/svn, sorry, I went offline, can we pickup where we left off, or if someone else can shed some light on setting up svn initially and the directory structure...? [22:21] ever since i installed ubuntu(3 days), i downloaded around 2 gbs worth of packages, is there a way for me to backup the packages i downloaded for future use? [22:21] the only thing that sucks about glenn beck is these long ass commercials [22:21] how do i pm you? [22:21] darko3d: gedit works under KDE. But the default under KDE is kwrite I think. [22:21] edbian_ what will be contained in the file ? [22:22] and no, its internal [22:22] vivien: kate [22:22] edbian: depends on the content, not the size. bz2 is usually very good. [22:22] i really love kate, it's why I switched to kde to begin with [22:22] darko3d: look into apt-cacher [22:22] profxavier, A bunch fo files from my highschool years. Mostly office documents [22:22] edbian: and 7zip as well I think. [22:22] darko3d: i'm not sure if the apt package includes the importer script though [22:22] Is there any known issue with overheating when running 10.04LTS on a 13 inch MBP? I notice my fans never really spin up. [22:22] hardwired: sudo ethtool eth0 [22:23] macbooks have really bad cooling [22:23] donaldkelly: probably because your computer is under less load [22:23] for one [22:23] hardwired, profxavier A bunch of small files. so 7zip or bzip ? [22:23] profxavier: did you read the svn book? it tells you everything you need to know, and it's quite compact. [22:23] darko3d: You may just get the list of packages you installed, with "dpkg -l" in command line. [22:23] potato: so, it's physically hooked up to your computer, yes? if so you need to figure out which file in /dev corresponds to it. do you only have 2 hard drives hooked up right now? [22:23] Loshki: I don't have ethtool. Doesn't ifconfig tell me somehow? [22:23] hardwired, I am in the processes of it now, but I am not clearly understanding the directory setup. The book is good, but not clear in this area [22:23] yes [22:24] found them all here /var/cache/apt/archives [22:24] alcbenzer: yes [22:24] ? [22:24] so i cant really give them to a friend and have run install them on his clean ubuntu box or anything like that [22:24] edbian_: if you're on linux, I'd use tar (it just makes an archive, uncompressed), and then bzip2 that. It's the usual way to do it. If you're on windows, maybe use 7zip instead. [22:24] potato: it's mostly likely either /dev/sdb1 or /dev/hdb1, depending on the type of hard drive. you'll need to do something like sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /path/to/place to mount the drive [22:24] remanifest: sort of what I was guessing. I had issues getting 10.04 to notice lots of things, I wasn't sure if it wasn't noticing temperature sensors or something. [22:25] darko3d: You could if you wanted to [22:25] hardwired, Well of course I'm on linux :) [22:25] potato: then you can access the files at /path/to/plce [22:25] ok, im new to this... [22:25] darko3d: You can install a .deb package with "dpkg -i package.deb". [22:25] hardwired: ifconfig tells you *some* stuff but not everything.... [22:25] hardwired: able to help me a bit with it ? [22:25] darko3d: then just "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" [22:25] and it'll install all of them [22:25] Jordan_U: thanksfor assistance! [22:25] i think, ill go and try and figure this out.. thanks though [22:25] edbian_: I meant, if you need windows compatibility. Though most windows tools also do tar.bz2 I think. [22:25] mmarc__1: You're welcome. [22:26] alecbenzer will not my server be a ubuntu desktop then [22:26] oh, ok nice [22:26] profxavier: the usual setup to have three top level directories: trunk, tags, branches. [22:26] hardwired: where though ? [22:26] micael: um, yes? it can still function as a server. the words 'server' and 'desktop' are kinda subjective, they just refer to what you use the server for [22:27] micael: use the *machine for [22:27] i have a test file with a list of file names that have spaces. I want to go through them with a loop in a bash script, how can I do this without looping through with individual "words" as tokens? [22:27] prodcutnews: you current, in-development stuff lives in trunk, from that you do tags and branches when you want to mark a release, or continue work in a branch. [22:27] my source is at /var/www/project and my svn repo is at /var/svn/repos [22:27] profxavier: oh ok, hold on a sec [22:27] so I cd into /var/www/project and mkdir trunk ? [22:28] micael: your only concern may be that running a desktop environment may use resources that would be otherwise spent, but this is likely negligible [22:28] or I make trunk in /var/svn/repos [22:28] tundrayeti311, how are you doing it currently? [22:28] profxavier: I'll pm you in a sec [22:28] sure, thanks [22:28] alecbenzer ok thanks i was going to install the server in a hp mediaserver that have windows homeserver now [22:28] micael: if that is in fact a concern, then you may want to install a lightweight window manager with the x server for a minimal setup, rather than using gnome or kde. [22:29] tundrayeti311, while read filename; do echo "$filename"; done < /path/to/file === ratonn is now known as Ratonn [22:29] kinks thanks i will check it out [22:29] tundrayeti311, or better. while read -r filename; do echo "$filename"; done < /path/to/file [22:30] micael: ya, if you care about efficiency and need something more light weight, you can try xubuntu-dektop (which uses xfce), or set up something yourself [22:31] micael: Or just install xdm and a window manager like Openbox or Fluxbox. This is even lighter than xubuntu. [22:31] LXDE and E17 are a bit less consuming than XFCE (which isn't much better than Gnome nowadays) [22:31] And for exotic window manager, see awesome :) === miniuser is now known as hpmini [22:31] E17 is actually less consuming than LXDE [22:32] alecbenzer well i like to have something like the windows home server that i have now [22:32] Anyone here under tilling WM? [22:32] vivien: I'm using ion3 [22:32] would there be any harm in re-symlinking irb in /usr/bin to irb1.9.1 (it's currently linked to irb1.8, which was done by apt)? [22:32] guys how can i order files by modify/create dates in command line? [22:32] thanks vivien [22:32] kinks: for how long? [22:32] hm.. a few years [22:32] not sure exactly [22:33] I am fascinating by tilling WMs, but I have never been able to use them. [22:33] I've taken a 10.4 ubuntu server install and retrieved amarok from apt, and all is well except the tray icon is a blue question mark on a white "file" icon. Any ideas why that might be? Is there a dependency it's missing? [22:33] I am puzzled by the lack of control [22:33] unop: did i miss something "while read -r test.txt; do echo "$filename"; done < /home/user" [22:33] it did take some getting used to, but I don't think I would be able to use anything else now. [22:33] pepePlu, ls -c , if you mean by using ls. [22:33] I do not feel as if I have any lack of control. [22:33] I'm having trouble trying to dual boot Ubuntu and Fedora, Ubuntu is on my main hard drive (320GB) but how do I create a Fedora partition in gparted? [22:33] I've done the same from an ubuntu desktop install and the icon was fine. [22:33] there are some applications that do not display all that well with ion3, but there are not many that I use. [22:33] micael: hm, well, kde is probably most simmilar to a windows environment, so you could try kubuntu-desktop, though kubuntu/kde is probably the most resource intensive out of all your options [22:33] so, I accidentally my whole music collection. oops. I have backups, but the working ones are pretty old and don't include stuff I've added in the past few months. fortunately, it being music, I can just get fresh copies. the problem is, at first I thought I had just mislaid my ~/music, so I did an updatedb... are there are any other lists-of-$HOME-files tucked away somewhere on a ubuntu system? [22:34] tundrayeti311, errm yes. while read -r file; do echo "$file"; done < /home/user/test.txt [22:34] unop thanx but how can i use ls to display one page at a time [22:34] I also tried to undelete the files, but the ext3 util;ity only picked up a fraction of the files [22:34] kinks: some windows have a "right" size, and ion3 will resize them without any care, right? [22:34] micael: also, I don't know how windows servers work, but most/all of the actual server configutation on linux is going to be done from a command line [22:34] pepePlu, pipe to less? ls -c | less [22:34] remanifest: ok just finished donwloading the driver [22:34] vivien: hm, sometimes; not very often [22:35] oh right thank you so much unop [22:35] dialog boxes generally stretch the entire width of the screen, but it doesn't do any harm. [22:35] darko3d: Ok sweet, now all you have to do is unpack it, chmod +x the .run file [22:35] you *can* have floating windows if you want to. [22:35] it doesn't work [22:35] I very rarely do. [22:35] ah because i am typing that in ftp [22:35] let me try ssh [22:35] kinks: also, you need to keep the number of windows low, right? Or it is a mess with many small windows? [22:36] unop: ok that worked... so we got read -r creating a token from a whole line of text to varialbe file, yeah? and < a reverse pipe of sorts? just trying to understand [22:36] remanifest: ok did that, now i run it? [22:36] darko3d: yup, just run it with sudo [22:36] vivien: I generally have at most 3-6 windows on a single desktop, but I have about 5 desktops with various arrangements of windows for certain programs. [22:36] Is Emacs 23.2 available in 10.04 of ubuntu yet/ [22:36] ? [22:37] vivien: there is also a "scratchpad" that will pop up over any desktop and can be set to any size [22:37] I generally use it for terminal 'stuff' and sometimes writing code. [22:37] tundrayeti311, well, 'read' reads its input from STDIN and assigns that to the variable we specify here i.e. 'file' .. we can then operate on this variable in the loop. and off course, we redirect the file in so that read can use it until it reaches the EOF [22:38] oh, so xmonad users here? [22:38] *some [22:38] remanifest:i got an error You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing [22:38] kinks: thanks for the introduction ;) [22:38] now what [22:38] vivien: I also don't use the mouse a whole lot.. I have hotkeys set up for just about everything. [22:38] tundrayeti311, by default read takes in input delimited by newlines [22:39] but that isn't really specific to ion3.. it just becomes all that much more useful on ion3. [22:39] unop: ah ok... don't see the -r option listed in man page, what is that for? [22:39] I feel that I can navigate from one application to the next much more quickly. [22:39] alecbenzer can you start ubuntu server from a nother computer [22:39] <_holmser_> I just set up my postfix mail server, and all is working well except for the fact that some spam filters really do not like my emails. [22:39] kinks: I barely use the mouse myself. Emacs + Conkeror here ;) And Fluxbox as WM [22:40] micael: erm, what do you mean? [22:40] I see. [22:40] tundrayeti311, use ''help read'' instead of the manpage. -r ensures that backslashes are read in instead of allowing them to escape text. [22:40] darko3d: CTRL+ALT+F3 - this will bring you to a console where you can log in. From there, log in with your username and password. Once logged in, type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", then run your install script again [22:40] kinks: ion3? is ubuntu even allowed to package that? [22:40] <_holmser_> I found some tutorials on how to get postfix to route through gmail, but I would like the email address to be from my server, not from my gmail account [22:40] gwern: indeed [22:40] <_holmser_> any ideas? [22:40] tundrayeti311, greybot> http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/001 -- How can I read a file (data stream, variable) line-by-line (and/or field-by-field)? [22:40] alecbenzer in my server i dont have for screen only usb and networking [22:40] gwern: ubuntu isn't really among the distros that there was a problem with.. I believe it was mostly arch linux. [22:41] darko3d: After install, run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to bring it back up [22:41] kinks: BTW, why ion3 over awesome, dwm or others? [22:41] kinks: oh, that must be a fork from before tuomov went insane [22:41] if a linked directory having the permissions 777 does that mean that the original directory have the permission 777? [22:41] gwern: that's just your mail clients settings, relaying through gmail is fine, it just requires authentication [22:41] gwern: that could be.. but I don't think so. [22:41] unop: oh tyvm, that is veyr nice of you [22:41] pepePlu: no [22:41] ikonia: don't think that was for me :) not here over mail [22:41] pepePlu, is this a symbolic link? yes, symbolic links take the permissions of the target [22:41] gwern: sorry [22:41] kinks: I was sure tuomov had decided to start charging or something for ion [22:41] gwern: I'm pretty sure I still have to accept a disclaimer that hands my soul over to tuomov :p [22:42] Hey guys, I have an old Iomega ZIP 250 drive I am trying to use, I know ubuntu sees it (I ran dmesg) but it won't mount. Any Ideas? [22:42] Does anyone have Emacs 23.2 working in 10.04?? [22:42] vivien: honestly, I've never actually tried awesome or dwm; I started using ion3 and I was happy with it, but perhaps I'll give them a try. [22:42] stepstools: what file system is on it ? [22:42] !info emacs [22:42] emacs (source: emacs23): The GNU Emacs editor (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 23.1+1-4ubuntu7 (lucid), package size 21 kB, installed size 52 kB [22:42] the ZIP? [22:42] micael: oo...well, you sort of need a screen to configure something I think, though if you can get a screen temporarily you can set up an ssh server and then access your computer from elsewhere like that [22:42] kinks: you might try xmonad too [22:42] pepePlu: 23.1 is the current ubuntu release [22:42] stepstools: yes [22:43] gwern = xmonad user? [22:43] ikonia: It is FAT [22:43] * gwern nods [22:43] stepstools: what command are you using to mount it ? [22:43] alecbenzer ok thanks [22:43] gwern = satisfied xmonad user? [22:43] yes [22:43] also dev [22:43] :) [22:43] unop i mean if the original directory isn't 777 but the linked yes [22:43] pepePlu: the link's permissions aren't important [22:43] Ikonia: Just "Mount /dev/sdb" [22:44] quick question why the hell is a mysql daemon still running when i removed it everything with synaptic package manager? [22:44] ok thank you [22:44] gwern: why xmonad over ion3, awesome & co? [22:44] stepstools: ok so that's never going to work [22:44] When inserting a compact flash card, I get "Device offlined - not ready after error recovery". How can I check if the file system is corrupt? [22:44] stepstools: you need to give it a target also, and you may need to help it with the file system too [22:44] stepstools: eg: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [22:44] vivien: over ion3: not a fork hated by the original dev; over awesome: we don't break our config every month and bloat it with dozens of deps and space invaders games; & co: dunno, name names [22:44] Ikonia: I'll try that [22:45] stepstools: that was just an example, you'll need to match it for your system [22:45] gwern: dwm? [22:45] some one with unreal tournament dvd for pc i can install linux version ? [22:45] trying to boot into ubuntu I get this error: Alert! /dev/md0 does not exist. Dropping to shell [22:45] vivien: we actually have extensions :) [22:45] quick question why the hell is a mysql daemon still running when i removed it everything with synaptic package manager? [22:45] Mundix: you are not allowed to share tht sort of media, please don't ask [22:45] I installed ubuntu 9.10 server with raid5 [22:45] omg [22:45] dominicdinada: if it bothers you, kill it [22:46] Ikonia: Sorry, Im a bit of a newbie, even though I done Linux for almost 2 years [22:46] gwern: oops, yep [22:46] why is yum insisting on pulling in adobe reader, when i only need flash [22:46] >_< [22:46] hi all...I'm trying to change grub.conf but even using sudo it opens as a read-only file [22:46] vivien: kind of hard to compare dwm with ion or awesome or xmonad - dwm sort of takes the minimalism to an extreme [22:46] gwern it is not a matter of bothering me IT was removed as i switched to Apachefriends Lampp build and it is conflicted with my install [22:46] gwern: in the world of tilling WMs, there are tons of forks [22:46] magicianlord: this is ubuntu support, not redhat/fedora [22:46] exit [22:46] stepstools: don't worry, its not a requirement to be a master [22:46] thanks, ikonia [22:46] Hi. How can I dual boot Fedora 13 with Ubuntu 10.04 on my main hard drive? Do I need to create a Fedora partition with gparted? [22:46] that post was for fun, informational purposes only. not to ask for support [22:47] gwern: what's the most advanced tilling WM? in terms of features? [22:47] calum: now that ubuntu uses grub2 - this is a real problem [22:47] quick question why the hell is a mysql daemon still running when i removed it everything with synaptic package manager? [22:47] pshaw [22:47] why does gnome power manager omit the suspend option and only shows hibernate? [22:47] Ikonia: so i'd have to do something like - sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/zip - ? [22:47] magicianlord: ok, please try to keep that noise out of the channel [22:47] vivien: hard to say. I'm not hugely familiar with awesome. I know xmonad has >200 modules in its extension library, but obviously it's not 1 module = 1 feature [22:47] ikonia: most distros make a link to a vmlinuz file somewhere that they update [22:47] !language |dominicdinada: [22:47] dominicdinada:: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:47] ikonia:eah I tried to install Ubuntu alongside Fedora 13 but it wasnt detected [22:47] brazilians????? [22:47] *yeah [22:48] ok sorry [22:48] ZachK_: I said nothing wrong [22:48] Docteh: yes, but updating the grub config files in /etc/grub.d from fedora is not going to happen [22:48] ok calum [22:48] brazilians and brazilians of users in here... [22:48] calum: it won't be [22:48] siiiiiiim????? [22:48] Is this dual boot even possible? [22:48] ikonia: ubuntu has /vmlinuz /initrd.img if fedora does similar just manually add it in [22:48] dominicdinada: "Why the hell is" yes you did...you can ask a question without swearing my friend [22:48] Docteh: you'll have to manually edit your grub config with every fedora kernel update, that's a real headache [22:48] it's the same. you can edit grub.cfg manually, if you know the locations [22:48] ZachK_: That is not even a swear word... my friend [22:49] remanifest:i got an error You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing [22:49] ikonia: not if it maintains a symlink like ubuntu does :-/ [22:49] ikonia: he won't, even he uses the rpm command instead of yum [22:49] if he uses [22:49] darko3d: CTRL+ALT+F3 - this will bring you to a console where you can log in. From there, log in with your username and password. Once logged in, type "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop", then run your install script again [22:49] hi all [22:49] dominicdinada: ok.....I'll attempt to not argue as I could but I won't. Now what problem are you having [22:49] darko3d: After install, run sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to bring it back up [22:49] magicianlord: he won't what ? [22:49] quick question why the is a mysql daemon still running when i removed it everything with synaptic package manager? [22:49] ok [22:50] Docteh: he will as the names on the menu need to be updated, and not all kernel updates are upgrades, some are along side updates [22:50] dominicdinada: it didn't get killed [22:50] dominicdinada: probably still running in memory [22:50] ikonia: using an rpm command to remove a previous kernel will clean up the grub automatically, as opposed to yum, which will not. the ubuntu portion of grub will also be preserved [22:50] Even after reboot [22:50] gwern: kinks: What puzzled me with tilling WMs is the lack of systray. Any comment about this? [22:50] I don't want to run Fedora 13 from the DVD all the time but I want Ubuntu 10.04 as my primary OS permanently [22:50] sudo killall mysqld should get it [22:50] vivien: how so? [22:50] Fail remove packages [22:50] magicianlord: fedora will not update ubuntus grub config === iflema_ is now known as iflema [22:50] After a reboot? ;) [22:50] gwern: Is there a systray in xmonad? [22:50] dominicdinada: Hmmm is that an error you get? [22:50] that's correct [22:50] dominicdinada: it shouldn't be still running. Normally removing a package like mysql will shut down the daemon before removal by the removal script. Are you sure it got removed properly? [22:51] magicianlord: which is what I said [22:51] unless you have a common boot partition [22:51] dominicdinad: did you kill it before you removed the fils ? [22:51] then it will [22:51] magicianlord: no - it won't then [22:51] vivien: which one do you want? a lot user xmobar or dzen, but I use gnome's status bar [22:51] As linux and ubuntu moves closer to mimic other popular OS's it really does mimic the short commings as well [22:51] Loshki: I bet he didn't kill it [22:51] magicianlord: as ubuntu now uses grub2 which is manged from /etc from within ubuntus install, not /boot any more [22:51] excellent [22:51] dominicdinada: If you have issues with the OS don't discuss them here..this is for questions man [22:51] check in synaptic that you removed ALL the mysql packages, perhaps you only removed a metapackage and mysql-server is still installed? [22:51] dominicdinada: stop ranting, you should know how to manage it [22:51] anyone know how I can change the splash screen? [22:51] amazing how Win 7 default install takes up 25 GB and ubuntu is less than 8 [22:51] ZachK_: well, the removal script should have killed it for him.... [22:51] magicianlord: hence why I'm saying it's not a real headache [22:51] that is true, dominicdinada. there are other distros which do not follow that trend [22:51] Anyone know how I can disable my internal video card entirely? [22:51] Loshki: There was no errors I marked every mysql for complete removal. Did so rebooted and search and nothing is marked as installed anymore [22:52] gwern: do you understand what I mean by systray? [22:52] vivien: probably not. what is a systray? [22:52] Loshki: yes but ya know....crap happens [22:52] ZachK_: my error is when i restartnning lampp saying Mysql daemon is already ru [22:52] I even tried to dual boot Ubuntu with Backtrack 4 but after installing Backtrack Ubuntu wouldn't boot [22:52] dominicdinada: if mysql were truly removed, there wouldn't be a binary to left to run, so obviously something went wrong with the removal... [22:52] dominicdinada: have you tryed sudo apt-get pure mysql-server ? [22:52] dominicdinada: the database is probably already running, so stop/kill it [22:53] i installed ubuntu with wubi [22:53] works good [22:53] dominicdinada: it runs off a pid file normally, so make sure that's gone [22:53] ikonia: WHY would i want that package when i am trying to get rid of it [22:53] ikonia: do you know if Emacs 23.2 in a PPA? [22:53] dominicdinada: I didn't say you want it [22:53] gwern: this is not the panel. This is where you have some icons of applications like Amarok, pidgin/kopete/psi/..., number of unread emails, kmix, etc. [22:53] dominicdinada: I said "stop it" by killing it [22:54] vivien: that sounds like stuff that the gnome status bar does [22:54] has anyone installed the experimental 3d nvidia drivers? i have [22:54] they are only 1.4 mb [22:54] gnome-panel? is that what it's called? [22:54] magicianlord: from where ? [22:54] they are in the main repos now [22:54] ikonia: your right it was wthpr0 who said it but it is running not my lampp mysql it is the package mysql running interfearing with my iinstall [22:54] gwern: e.g., on the right, but before the time here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/Kicker_3.5.8.png [22:54] mesa experimental drivers [22:54] wthpr0: : WHY would i want that package when i am trying to get rid of it [22:54] magicianlord: then they are not experimental [22:54] the pacakge is called experimental [22:54] !info experimental [22:54] Package experimental does not exist in lucid [22:55] magicianlord: doesn't look like it [22:55] rly [22:55] i'm talking fedora repo [22:55] in ubuntu, you can add it [22:55] magicianlord: what part of "stop talking about fedora" am I not making cleaer to you ? [22:55] vivien: again, that looks like the gnome statuspanel, so I don't know any reason you couldn't use it with xmonad. xmonad replaces metacity pretty handily in my gnoem session [22:55] :( [22:55] !hammertime [22:55] anyone know how I can change the splash screen? because I change whit the os x theme...and I want to change my splash screen whit os x splash screen and dos't work... [22:55] gwern: you can install any taskbar in xmonad? Is gnome panel consistent with xmonad? [22:56] vivien: sure. you tell xmonad to leave a gap for the panel, and it works fine === bushy is now known as bushy2 [22:56] hey [22:56] I extracted a new application in my home/user/downloads directroy. Where is a good place to place to keep that application on linux? [22:56] oh it starts with a .sh file [22:56] how can i make virtual box read an actual partition? [22:56] isw: totally your call [22:56] so i can install windows on that [22:56] gwern: all right! Thanks [22:56] konia: k thanks [22:56] george_: since karmic it's no longer usplash but something I keep forgetting the name of (talking boot splash, right?) [22:57] gwern: kinks: Thanks for the talk. I have to leave. I will surely try a tilling WM (again) soon! ;) [22:57] can virtual box read an actual partition [22:57] Vcoolio rghit [22:57] vivien: 'k [22:57] VCoolio: plymouth [22:57] Hello :) [22:57] I'm trying to edit grub.conf as root in vi, but it opens the file as read-only...howcome? [22:57] darnit [22:58] anyone [22:58] Andre_Gondim: one what ? [22:58] oops [22:58] bushy2: anyone what ? [22:58] can virtual box read a partition [22:58] pedro: The filesystem is mounted as read only? [22:58] like to install windows [22:58] nothing in startup for the mysql daemon nothing in synaptic for the daemon [22:58] bushy2 yes he can [22:58] bushy2: no [22:58] is ext4 safe yet? I chose ext3 for my new install [22:58] :)) [22:58] what? [22:59] you cant confuse me likethat [22:59] Vooloo: it's used on production servers [22:59] Vbox can read a virtual drive parttiosion [22:59] link? [22:59] isw: you can put it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, but I like to make ~/bin and keep it in there so it will be backed up when you backup /home. You also need to add ~/bin to your PATH for it to work... [22:59] everything i find doesnt work [22:59] ikonia: which is best for 64-bit? [23:00] ubuntu [23:00] Vooloo: 32/64bit has nothing to do with it [23:00] mt [23:00] Vooloo: it's just personal prefernce on your requirements [23:00] pedro, the file has no write permissions? you'd still be able to write the file tho. [23:00] Loshki: ok thanks Loshki I'm going to move it now then try to look up how to add it to ~/bin [23:00] I'm about to install ubuntu on my new computer (a 64-bit cpu). When I look at ubuuntu.com it recommend to use 32bit (64-bit not for everyday desktop usage). Which version should I use? [23:00] What is the mysql daemon named exactly because i dont even see a process for it either this is weird [23:00] crowd is not that expensive to deserve, um, "concealing". Its somewhat $2500/yr [23:00] oops [23:00] i have it on my64 bit laptop [23:00] dominicdinada: mysqld and mysqld-safe, however I suspect it's the pid file it's complaining about [23:00] but i need to dual boot windows [23:00] unop: right....it has only read permissions :S why? [23:01] remanifest: seens to be working fine, thanks [23:01] ikonia: where would i find and remove the pid ? [23:01] bushy2: the 64bit version? works fine? [23:01] yea [23:01] isw: something like: do 'mkdir ~/bin' then move the file into the directory. Then edit ~/.bashrc and add PATH=$PATH:~/bin [23:01] ok good [23:01] darko3d: Sweet, no problem [23:01] Hi there, I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 and it actually looks quite nice. But one thing is really annoying: Why did the Ubuntu team integrate a dysfunctional Twitter/Identi.ca client? [23:01] pedro: ypi [23:01] but something strange happened [23:01] darko3d: Whenever you use a "custom" kernel (one not in repositories) you'll have to repeat the process [23:02] i cant usemy hardware volume control [23:02] Loshki: ok I'm a bit confused on how you add ~/bin to my PATH for it to work... I useually just start it by typing ./name.sh in command line [23:02] ok [23:02] pedro: you're not supposed to edit grub.cfg, but /etc/default/grub instead, then run update-grub [23:02] pedro, well, for one, it's to prevent any writes to it - you shouldn't really be editing this file anyway [23:02] darko3d: Becomes much easier as you do it over and over [23:02] dominicdinada: errrr /var/run I think [23:02] ikonia: if it is not the pid it must be still binding to another process because I have no process's that mention/have/suggest there is mysql [23:02] loshki: ok thanks just read your last msg [23:02] i could use it, but then it just updatedandi cant [23:02] i tried to login using kde, but i just get the loading page then a black screen with the cursor [23:02] dominicdinada: I suspect it's the pid then [23:02] hi, I keep getting kicked off when trying to use irssi, is this because I don't have identd? [23:02] darko3d: Have you installed kubuntu-desktop with synaptic? [23:03] what about madwifi [23:03] symm_: ask in #freenode [23:03] hi, embeded videos don't play for me in firefox. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I have flash installed and videos play fine from the original sites. [23:03] xchat seems to work fine, maybe it has its own identd?

[23:24] pete_m: you should not be using a root account, root is locked in ubuntu [23:24] Purpley: xmodmap IIRC [23:24] <[cable]> i can not get game to work [23:24] oh, ... could it be that the wireless usb adapter that im using is really old ( its a G ), and maybe the signal is faiding in and out? [23:25] Adasz: http://rubyforge.org/projects/kdialog/ [23:25] [cable]: Have you tried running it in a terminal and see if there is any interesting output? [23:25] soreau, xmodmap: unable to open file 'IIRC' for reading [23:25] xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting. [23:25] soge: uhmmmm, YES! possible. [23:25] cable DROD? game? [23:25] Purpley: IIRC = If I Remember Correctly [23:25] acerimmer, can i use kdialog if i have gnome? [23:25] Is there a way to create a clone of my internal HD to an external HD that can boot? [23:26] kdialog is for kde [23:26] Purpley: its an acronym, not part of the command [23:26] <[cable]> yes DROD [23:26] Adasz: you should be able to but it might require otehr dependcies. lemme look and i'll get bck to u in a few... [23:26] <[cable]> i can not get it to run [23:26] soreau, Oh lol [23:26] Adasz: I see a kdialog in kdebase-bin. Dunno if that's the one you want. Most kde apps will run fine in gnome, thought they might be ugly... [23:26] <[cable]> i tried terminal [23:27] soreau, Keyboard shortcuts wont detect it [23:27] Adasz: try sudo apt-get install kdialog from the command line [23:27] acerimmer, already done [23:27] Purpley: Well that was my only idea [23:27] <[Screamo]> soreau, i dont now what brand it is [23:27] Adasz: and??? [23:27] nite [23:27] acerimmer, fail [23:27] hi guys I am using nfs mount in ubuntu lucid ... would like to know what are my other options to mount a remote filesystem [23:28] onkara: depends what your other machine supports [23:28] [Screamo]: Does lsusb show anything useful? [23:28] soreau, alright I want to use it to increase and decrease the volume and then you click the wheel to launch ryhtm box [23:28] acerimmer: alright... lol, thanks [23:28] Adasz: hmm. yeah probably a dependcy or two. try running an update and see if it catches [23:28] acerimmer, sry for my bad english [23:28] is there any way to install lyx 1.6.6 on karmic (packages: 1.6.4( [23:28] ) [23:28] ? [23:28] Adasz: kdialog is *not* a package name, apparently... [23:28] soreau, Its like the same mouse wheel on the top of a mouse except I have two, one on the top and one on the side [23:28] <[Screamo]> arg, it shows up in xawtv :\ [23:28] ikonia: the remote filesystem is on CentOS Ext3 [23:28] acerimmer, apt-get uppdate? [23:28] I want to mount something like ramfs or tmpfs. But ramfs won't enforce a size limit, and tmpfs may end up using swap. I want a fixed-size chunk of memory that won't be stored in swap. Can this be done, or do I have to settle one way or another? [23:28] adasz; sudo apt-get update [23:28] Purpley: If you have terminal commands to adjust the volume, just map it in ccsm or whatever wm you are using [23:29] lake: check out backup solutions... [23:29] Purpley: but not sure why you would only want to use your mouse for that [23:29] !backup | lake [23:29] lake: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [23:29] soreau, Easy to change the volume, plus what do yoiu mean? Its an additonal wheel meant to use it to launch things [23:30] Purpley: ah, like more buttons on your mouse? [23:30] onkara: from ubuntu under Places > Connect to Server .. use SSH and create a bookmark. it will be available in Places drop down menu. [23:30] soreau, Exactly [23:30] Loshki: thanks, will look into these links. :) [23:30] Purpley: ok, do you use compiz? [23:30] acerimmer, if i want to install kdebase-bin apt-get tell me that it cant catch "/var/cache/apt/archives/lock" - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:30] bastidrazor: can I make ubuntu auto mount these SSHFS mounts that I am going to bookmark ?? if yes how [23:31] sigh :( [23:31] Adasz: try later [23:31] onkara: i think you need to click on them before they are mounted. [23:31] well i fixed my problem with failbuntu but it cause another problem :/ [23:31] acerimmer, lol in the background i had an 1hour old package install open [23:32] i closed it and now it install the packages [23:32] Adasz: that'' do it. try again [23:32] soreau, I have no idea [23:32] Purpley: do you have individual commands to increment/decrement the volume up/down from CLI? [23:32] profxavier : found it!, cool! [23:32] Non-Technical question, for a blog post I'm doing, how many people in here use Ubuntu (or Linux) as their primary OS, no dual boot, just linux? === mike_ is now known as Guest88649 [23:33] donaldkelly: possibly take polls in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:33] Ok i've got a problem, in windows, if i go to Network, and i click on my ubuntu computer, under it it has the folder 'dev', then it has my home dir... i'm not sure why it's doing this, can i fix it? [23:33] acerimmer, can you correct me if i write something wrong? i want to learn english [23:33] what's the standard for the root password on a new ubuntu installation? [23:34] soreau, I think, I just use the Keyboard Shortcuts [23:34] is the root user disabled? [23:34] locked? [23:34] zamba: yes [23:34] use sudo [23:34] passwd -l, basically? [23:34] Purpley: Well you need to *know* [23:34] yeah, i'm using sudo [23:34] but one of my co-workers also used sudo and changed the root password when he tried to change his own :) [23:34] officially, ubuntu does not support any configuration which involves the root user being able to log in [23:34] so i need to set the root user back the way it should be [23:34] just use passwd -l [23:34] so passwd -l? [23:34] good [23:34] thanks for the help [23:35] acerimmer, the installation of 103 packages takes time [23:35] why does computer janitor remove things that should not be removed as nothing was set to remove such as google chrome [23:35] hmm [23:35] soreau, Yes I used to have two keys to increase and decrease the volume [23:35] actually, 'sudo passwd root' doesn't even set the root password for me [23:35] Purpley: I said commands you can run in cli, not keys [23:35] oh wait, /etc/shadow, duh [23:35] it just decided on its own "hey i want to mess up someones day I am gonna remove google chrome without any request to do so" === pet is now known as savoy [23:36] if you _really_ want to make it exactly the way it was, go to /etc/shadow and change the encrypted password to '*' [23:36] donaldkelly: http://counter.li.org/ [23:37] And I should feel so special because it has tried removing SQL workbench all the time :) [23:37] soreau, None that im aware of honestly I dont know much CLI, I just use alsamixer in the cli to change volume [23:37] Purpley: amixer -c 0 set PCM 2dB+ [23:37] but just passwd -l or passwd -d will have the same effect [23:37] Purpley: This will increase the volume by a slight amount. Replace + wirh - at the end for obvious results [23:37] can anyone help me with my apache/mysql/myphpadmin problem? i am getting a warning when i try to connect to my databases. "Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /var/www/checklogin.php on line 9 [23:37] cannot connect" [23:37] apache: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] So why does it automatically decide what i should and should not keep on my computer [23:38] Purpley: Show the output of ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep [23:39] apache: possibly check in #httpd [23:39] Ok i've got a problem, in windows, if i go to Network, and i click on my ubuntu computer, under it it has the folder 'dev', then it has my home dir... i'm not sure why it's doing this, can i fix it? [23:39] So why does Computer Janitor automatically decide what i should and should not keep on my computer [23:39] can anyone help me with my apache/mysql/myphpadmin problem? i am getting a warning when i try to connect to my databases. "Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /var/www/checklogin.php on line 9 cannot connect" [23:40] Unsichtbar: Shared ? by default ? [23:40] dominicdinada: yeah i dont think i installed anything, if i did, what should i check? [23:40] dominicdinada: If you knew what to clean up and how, would you even need computer janitor? [23:40] soreau, None that im aware of honestly I dont know much CLI, I just use alsamixer in the cli to change volume [23:40] yo yo yo [23:41] Purpley: You are making it difficult for me to help you. I need to see the output of the ps ax command i gave you [23:41] soreau: Knowing is half the battle. and well It would be nice if the Janitor utility worked correctly eh ? [23:41] dominicdinada: you didn't have opportunity to deselect packages you wanted to keep? [23:41] thune3: yes i did [23:41] dominicdinada: Your idea of correctly might not be the same of the developers idea of correctly [23:41] dominicdinada: then what is the complaint? [23:41] hello [23:42] but why is it deciding to remove chrome, mysql workbench, various other software [23:42] * MrDudle will bbs booting into windows [23:42] How can i turn of sharing of my files? for some reason they are shared to the network but i dont remember enabling that at all [23:42] i'm tryint to install ubuntu netbook [23:42] Why does my CSS refuse to load in Firefox 3.6? [23:42] i want it to install alongside win xp but it woon't let me create or resize partitions [23:42] halp! [23:42] I just updated my ubuntu, kernel etc. and now my network card is not working. I have tried to ifconfig down/up manually [23:43] So it is incorrect that I have google Chrome on my computer and the developers thought it might better suit me not to have the package when it is isntalled via Deb? [23:43] halp_pls: Does it show an error message or give any reason why? [23:43] nope [23:43] in the options it only gives me the option to install over win xp [23:44] halp_pls: You need to go back and select manual partitioning option [23:44] and in the manual mode it only gives me the option to change the main partition into something else, or create a new partition table [23:44] halp_pls: you boot to the liveCD .. you don't run it inside windows [23:44] i am doing that [23:44] How can i turn of sharing of my files? for some reason they are shared to the network but i dont remember enabling that at all [23:44] Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? [23:44] hello [23:45] how is everyone doing? [23:45] i've encountered this problem before, i think i must somehow resize the partition inside windows, disk manager is of no use, can you recomend something quick? [23:45] dominicdinada: it is not a judgement. it just offers to remove "local or obsolete" files that you would see in synaptic. I would guess you don't have chrome repository added. if you did your chrome would not be "local", since it is in a repo. [23:46] Vooloo: can you give a pastebin of: sudo lshw -C network thanks [23:46] the hard drive is 16GB and it has 7 GB free space [23:46] thune3: i guess that makes sense now that you put it that way but when i add the repos it causes problems [23:46] Vooloo: I get this with the latest Maverick kernel too. Quite lame but expected [23:46] is there a way you can have numlock automatically activated when the computer is turned on? [23:46] i have | separated fields in a line..to retrieve say the third one what's a good way to do it? i tried the clumsy sed -e 's/.*|.*|\(|.*|\)/\1/g' but it actually didn't work [23:46] Unsichtbar: uninstall samba [23:46] thune3: if you remember last week it automatically grabbed the Deb stable kernal... [23:47] anyone? [23:47] aliciapg: yes [23:47] dominicdinada: i'm on 9.10, i have not seen the issue you describe [23:47] soreau: could you please tell me how? [23:47] #ubuntu.pl [23:47] soreau, Sorry I lagged [23:48] halp_pls: part of the procedure is to resize the partitions, if you have just installXP i'd redo it and use only a portion of the disk space for XP to save having to mess around with resizing [23:48] i can't do that unfortunately [23:48] thune3: here is the perplexing thing your danged if you do and your danged if you dont, If i add the google repo i get shoved the kernel but i get to keep my chrome if i remove the repo i cant use a integrial part of the system without the janitor trying to sweep my installs away :( [23:48] can anybody help me on how to recompile gnome-panel with an edited source? [23:48] palacechan: maybe: cut -d\| -f3 [23:49] soreau, 1949 ? S 0:36 compiz [23:49] dominicdinada: i would agree that calling "local or obsolete" file "unused" is a bit misleading [23:49] 1987 ? Ss 0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/compiz-decorator [23:49] But ive GNOME installed on a machine with Ubuntu. [23:49] i_need_a_dev: where do you get stuck? [23:49] any light free app that can help me resize it? [23:49] Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? [23:49] VCoolio: everything, I never programmed before. I want to recompile gnome-panel without the easter eggs... [23:49] trism, that worked! i'll go to man pages to understand it thanks! [23:50] How can i turn of sharing of my files? for some reason they are shared to the network but i dont remember enabling that at all [23:50] dominicdinada: are you trying to "pin" an older kernel? [23:50] aliciapg: numlockx http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-475321.html [23:50] Purpley: ok good [23:50] hi [23:50] Purpley: Now run ccsm in your terminal and go to the Commands plugin [23:50] !hi | morgan2 [23:50] morgan2: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [23:50] halp_pls: please type my nick if you are addressing me, its hard to find text [23:50] devs don't seem to understand that easter eggs are not funny, and can make a mess out of our life [23:51] I currently have archlinux dualbooting with windows 7. Is it sufficient to install ubuntu over that arch linux partition ? Will that work? [23:51] halp_pls: use tab, see how my text to yout highlights, thats not an accident [23:51] i_need_a_dev: what easter egg? [23:51] Morgan2, probably yes should work [23:51] thune3: is there a way to force ubuntu to either disregard the kernel from the repo or force janitor to skip chrome/workbench... I mean honestly it is not like there is an ignore update,upgrade, ignore remove... And simply put as that stuff piles up you spend more time sifting through the crap you dont want changed to get to what you need [23:51] i_need_a_dev: that seems unnecessary; anyway, first download the source (apt-get source gnome-panel), then edit what you need, then install the dependencies (apt-get build-dep gnome-panel), then compile and install preferably with checkinstall: ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall [23:51] Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? [23:51] I dont/can-t mess the windows partition. I have too much data I simply can`t loose. [23:51] soreau: thank you ^^ [23:52] halp_pls: make sure all partitions on the internal drive are unmounted then you will be able to [23:52] soreau, however if you use arch ubuntu might be too 'boring' for you ;) [23:52] soreau: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-panel/tree/gnome-panel/panel-run-dialog.c#n423 [23:52] Problem: No sound at all! Total linux-newbie installed ubuntu 10.4 on 5 yr old packard bell easynote.

Any suggestions? [23:52] Purpley: amixer -c 0 set PCM 2dB+ <-- make sure that this command works from your terminal. [23:52] soreau: "free the fish" and "gegls from outer space" [23:53] soreau, Ok hold on [23:53] I have an nvidia 320m, I was wondering if there was a compatibility list for ubuntu 10,04.... they just released windows beta, was hopeing there was a linux beta too [23:53] i used arch and am now using ubuntu and totally bored [23:53] i_need_a_dev: huh, thats different [23:53] soreau: is there a way to force ubuntu to either disregard the kernel from the repo or force janitor to skip chrome/workbench... I mean honestly it is not like there is an ignore update,upgrade, ignore remove... And simply put as that stuff piles up you spend more time sifting through the crap you dont want changed to get to what you need [23:53] i_need_a_dev: have you filed a grievance? [23:54] soreau: I guess he wants to get rid of all the bloat in ubuntu... [23:54] soreau, Is this neccasry? I just want to use buttons on my mouse that the computer wont recognize [23:54] dominicdinada: I have no idea since I dont use that janitor app. I just remove whatever I dont need manually [23:54] Purpley: If you dont want my help, just say so [23:55] can anyone help me with my apache/mysql/myphpadmin problem? i am getting a warning when i try to connect to my databases. "Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /var/www/checklogin.php on line 9 cannot connect" [23:55] dominicdinada: bleachbit does a more thorough job, just watch the option you use [23:55] soreau: I don't know what is grievance, english is not my first language [23:55] Purpley: I am showing you what I would try to get it working how you asked [23:55] i_need_a_dev: a complaint or a bug [23:55] i_need_a_dev: grievance == complaint [23:55] soreau, Ok [23:55] soreau, ActionParsnip : there are quite a number of bugs reports in ubuntu/gnome -> wontfix [23:56] ActionParsnip: I have tried bleachbit [23:56] One of my partitions has stopped auto-mounting when I boot. I have this in my fstab: [23:56] UUID=a1fbb275-2599-4507-9824-c8c65387fa0f /projects ext4 defaults 0 2 [23:56] Purpley: Now after you made sure that command works to change your volume, next step is to put it in ccsm>Commands>command1 and command2, you want - instead of + at the end [23:56] dominicdinada: after an upgrade you might need to go cleaning because of a bunch of dangling packages, but other than that the only thing that needs regular cleaning is old kernels. [23:56] tauren: did the UUID change somehow? [23:56] i_need_a_dev: well I guess it is settled then [23:56] when I manually mount it, it mounts: sudo mount /projects [23:56] Hello, I have a hda-intel sound card and like to use the spdif out. but I didn't get any output, not from spdif and not from analog. Can somebody help me to setup this soundcard? [23:56] Purpley, I tried to set my intellimouse earlier but I got frustrated with it [23:57] soreau: you needed 6 years for the openoffice guys to remove their easter eggs [23:57] how do I get it to automount again? [23:57] i_need_a_dev: They arent planning on fixing so unless you want to submit patches yourself, it will do no good to complain [23:57] tauren: add an entry in /etc/fstab [23:57] Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? [23:57] I tried to use a .asoundrc file, but this does not work. [23:57] ActionParsnip, there is one in it [23:57] hi world [23:57] for lamp is there a file I gotta comment or something a line that prevents outside connections accessing its local sql server of course I did grant access to a certian ip [23:57] is there a way to remove some of the boot options in the menu? [23:57] soreau, Now I would execute this multiple times to achieve the correct volume I would like right? [23:57] ActionParsnip: UUID=a1fbb275-2599-4507-9824-c8c65387fa0f /projects ext4 defaults 0 2 [23:58] tauren: then run the mount command and make sure the mount point exists [23:58] tauren: check the UUID with: sudo blkid [23:58] soreau: considering what I saw in the gnome bug reports, even if I send the fix, they won't do a thing, because they like their annoying easter eggs [23:58] I have problem running vsftp [23:58] ActionParsnip: I did run it, and it mounts just fine. [23:58] aliciapg, edit your menu.1st file to remove stuff [23:58] SocialSocial: where is that [23:58] the installer seriously need more disk management power [23:58] How can i turn of sharing of my files? for some reason they are shared to the network but i dont remember enabling that at all [23:58] Is there a utility to log all wifi spots you run across and some of the details of each? [23:58] /boot [23:58] or /grub usually [23:59] second time this has happened to me, and for a noob user this will make it impossible to install ubuntu [23:59] okay thanks SocialSocial :) [23:59] ActionParsnip, During boot, it looks like drives are being checked, but it goes by so fast I can't see the problem if any. [23:59] soreau, Now I would execute this multiple times to achieve the correct volume I would like right? [23:59] Purpley: Ok, when you put it in the commands tab, then you go to button bindings tab and set all buttons to try and figure out which number the button corresponds to [23:59] Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? [23:59] #ubuntu-desktop [23:59] ActionParsnip: output from sudo blkid: /dev/sda7: LABEL="dev" UUID="a1fbb275-2599-4507-9824-c8c65387fa0f" TYPE="ext4" [23:59] I just updated my ubuntu, kernel etc. and now my network card is not working. I have tried to ifconfig down/up manually... what to do? [23:59] Purpley: So when you scroll, it detects that button and runs the command. For example, regular scroll are buttons 4 and 5
