[00:00] Hi all, I'm having a problem getting my system to bootup and utilize the DVI output to the monitor. the DVI is one of the 2 heads on this geforce FX 5600, the DVI cable itself works fine, and there is a DVI connector on the back of the monitor. Yet, there is no signal being passed from the card to the cable. Is there a way to troubleshoot this or can anyone help point me in the right direction? [00:00] Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? [00:01] Unsichtbar: run 'sudo smbtree' to see which folders you have shared, then disable that using nautilus > properties > share tab [00:01] tauren: could replace the UUID ni fstab with /dev/sda7 see if its nicer [00:01] Gnea: Does it send a signal at the bios splash when you first turn it on? [00:01] nnd: log a bug after checking settings [00:01] ActionParsnip: Ok, will try that. Also doing a manual fsck right now. [00:01] Gnea, I use my second output, and I have to go to system/pref/monitors to make the switch and activate the monitor [00:02] soreau: no. I've tried turning everything off, making sure the DVI cable is the only cable connected, and still nothing [00:02] Is there a utility to log all wifi spots you run across and some of the details of each? [00:02] soreau, Ok never mind im good, I found a tut on ubuntuforums.org for my exact model of my mouse and how to use its buttons [00:02] Gnea: sounds like its a hw issue then. Either with your card or monitor (or cable or adapter) [00:02] soreau, But thank you very much for your help [00:02] Is it possible to use unetbootin or usb-creator to create and IMAGE that can later be written to a USB stick? [00:02] How the fuck can it be that gwibber is so tightly integrated into 10.04 and apparently just doesn't work? [00:02] I want a new computer [00:02] Is there such a thing as a qa team for Ubuntu? [00:03] SocialSocial: i can't seem to find it... [00:03] lisa_: I'll give that a try if I can get a signal to pass, thanks [00:03] !language | nnd [00:03] nnd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:03] lieb, I suggest googling your muse with ubuntu in the phrase [00:03] soreau: that's basically what I figured on too... I tried asking in here a few weeks back, but all I got was "we're still using CRTs" [00:03] ubottu: You could make Gwibber family friendly. [00:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:03] Anyone know if there's a way to get postgres 8.3 for Ubuntu 10.04? [00:03] if I'm having trouble with alsamixer how can I see whats wrong? [00:03] Stupid bot. [00:04] I did, I just gave up for the day, I tried the im(dont remember the rest of the name) program, but all it seems like I have to do is edit xorg [00:04] I can't use 8.4. [00:04] sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp [00:04] soreau: and, of course, the standard D-SUB connector works just fine [00:04] nnd: the bot is not the one talking to a bot [00:04] alsa mixer randomly disappears on reboot sometimes...? [00:04] omg, they movede menu.1st!! anyone know where? [00:04] imwheel it's called, I tried the -c command for the gui but it doesn't do anything [00:04] but I just had an idea... I should try a DVI-to-VGA adapter and see if the signal still goes through or not [00:04] Gnea: but yea, try asking in #hardware since its not a problem with ubuntu [00:04] IdleOne: Yeah ... funny ... no [00:05] soreau: had even less of a response there, thanks though [00:05] nnd: state what is not working for you and maybe someone can help [00:05] how i can fix that problem?? [00:05] Purpley it's just a minor issue, I wasn't really wanting to bother you guys with it, I was just commenting on another persons question [00:05] SocialSocial: its not moved, gruub2 uses different config files [00:05] !grub2 | SocialSocial [00:05] SocialSocial: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [00:05] lieb, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332256 | It details how to use buttons on other bmouses in the beginning [00:05] IdleOne: Gwibber just doesn't work. Its the most specific description you can make ;) [00:05] nnd: qa team? like, questions and answers? [00:05] thanks ActionParsnip [00:05] X_o, Have you used update-rc.d [00:05] It doesn't send messages to identi.ca or status.net accounts. [00:05] no [00:05] Is there a repository I need to add to install postgres 8.3 on ubuntu 10.04? [00:06] If you send them, just nothing will happen - only the message will vanish from the input field.

How can I make Gwibber, the integrated microblog client of Ubuntu 10.04, make work with identi.ca? [00:10] my sound works just fine but it's wierd because I had to reinstall it twice it randomly disappears??? [00:10] nnd: did you log in to your accounts through gwibber? i have facebook and twitter running through gwibber as we type now. [00:10] 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?! === owner is now known as bricky [00:10] lieb: In recent versions of X, its smart enough to guess what you need so it selects an open driver with options automatically [00:11] tic^: Well, of course i did. [00:11] lieb, Hmmm same problem here.....X11 is there and when i type in locate xorg.conf it gives me /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:11] lieb: If you need an xorg.conf, you will have to create one.

[00:11] alright [00:11] nnd: hrm, never used gwibber before, looks relatively new... trying it out now... so far, facebook is not liking me [00:11] hmm, odd. my sound is crackling since i just rebooted [00:12] it says already active sor display ) [00:12] 0 [00:12] ActionParsnip: Dyou happen to know which ppa contains postgres 8.3? [00:12] had an update, rebooted, now my sound is making buzzing/strange sounds. [00:12] works fine in windows [00:12] Gnea: You see, a qa team would be supposed to at least check if components which are so deeply integrated as Gwibber do work at all. [00:13] lieb: yea, it will only work if X isnt running. The easiest way to do that is get to a vt (ctrl+alt+F1) then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:13] I'll come back later. [00:13] lieb: Afterward, do the same command with start instead of stop to relogin [00:13] rellis: the page has a search, search ALL the PPAs and you will maybe find one [00:13] yeah i did search for "postgres-8.3" [00:13] i found nothing [00:13] my sound output option is only dummy output stereo after it working fine just a second ago after reboot this happen to me twice? [00:13] sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp [00:13] anyone else have problems with audigy 2 card after a recent reboot? [00:14] X_o: That is an informational message, not an error. Are you having some related issue? [00:14] i can running [00:14] i cannt running [00:15] nnd: well, the way it usually works around here is that an app, that ubuntu didn't write from scratch to begin with, is usually maintained by authors and has its own support. if any ubuntu-related mods are made to the app, then the qa team would be the ones to ask about it then, if the original maintainers are not sure what is wrong or an error message points outside of their realm. === Guest18825 is now known as greezmunkey [00:15] natt [00:15] Anyone know which PPA might contain postgres-8.3 for Ubuntu 10.04?

[00:16] not [00:16] rellis: why not 8.4? [00:16] X_o: From that message, it looks like it started. Try /etc/init.d/ status [00:16] hello, does ubuntu live cd has cd/dvd burner ?

[00:16] I'll read up on the xord documentation for the mouse, as I said it's not a big issue right now [00:16] nnd: alright, have you been able to locate gwibber on the qa page? [00:16] It's part of the very Me Menu. [00:17] xorg* [00:17] err.. bah cant talk.. have not tested our app on 8.4 [00:17] iceroot, soreau and can i burn windows xp iso that way ? [00:17] nnd: oh, I didn't notice. I always replace gnome with E17 as it's more memory efficient. [00:17] radi: sure [00:17] and I'm pretty sure I can fix it on my own, I'm a linux noob, but not computer illiterate... [00:17] thanks anyways !

Although i have tried to run nvidia-settings with root, and it save it to my xorg.conf. How can i manual set this?

[00:18] why [00:18] sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd status rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp [00:18] hi all [00:18] I got the wierdest thing going on.... for the last 3 days, I'm learning ubuntu server and linux, and 50% of the times i bootup the system after the grub and after fsck run, i get a unreadahead error, and the screen, locks up with a blinking cursor (50% of the time).

[00:18] nnd: well, I went and clicked on "Package status pages", then found gwibber on the left-hand side [00:19] X_o, service vsftpd status [00:19] ActionParsnip: Yeah I was considering that, thanks. [00:19] sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd status rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp [00:19] radi: I knew that. [00:19] sorea : i'm used to people stepping on frenchies, I am one [00:19] well, i dont even know if the live cd will recognize all of my netbook's hardware [00:19] Vooloo: can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: sudo lshw -C network thanks [00:19] personally i dont think it will [00:19] that is what I get it [00:19] vooloo: is it a wireless card?

I set them to 80, and now sound is back to normal. [00:20] AT ALL.

[01:04] bastidrazor, im using usb for the live ubuntu [01:05] so, burner is free [01:05] yeah soreau the driver is b43-pci-bridge [01:05] radi: then you're in good shape. [01:05] bastidrazor, well, i cant cancel the partitioning process now :P [01:05] soreau: no it doesnt ask for a password...it goes to the next network showing in network manager because i have like 4 or 5 networks detected around my neighborhood [01:05] jimisrvrox: Do you have other machines on the network and/or connection sharing going on? [01:05] no-name: i use the wubi version and it's fine *shrug* [01:06] what file do i put my script in if i want to run during bootup [01:06] I have other machines on the network but only this one has issues [01:06] wubi is not good, installs too many rubish you dont need [01:06] module=ssb [01:06] greenjon: any compatability issues? [01:06] @sor: so ubuntu is screwed? [01:06] and like I said it was working fine as of two days ago [01:06] with no changes since ten [01:06] then* [01:07] no-name: not a single one so far :) [01:07] Is it safe to resize the ubuntu's partition using gparted? Im running out of space... [01:07] hey guys, after gnome-panel last update... something strange is happening, the gnome panel takes something like 10 seconds to start, after the desktop is loaded, any info on this? [01:07] btw im getting pretty low 3d acceleration with virtualbox and windows on my desktop ubuntu :/ [01:07] Aliv3: probably has something to do with it running in a vm [01:07] no-name: if i could get my games to work in it, i'd totally wipe xp from the hdd [01:08] games run ok on almost all distros [01:08] ( with nvidia cards ) :P [01:09] /quit [01:09] !flash [01:09] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:09] radi: i do have an nvidia card. just haven't taken the time to try installing any games on 10.04 because i don't have the space right now [01:09] well, on ubuntu is easy to run games [01:09] im having troubles with my gentoo tho [01:09] cause i have an ati card [01:10] wine is working ok [01:10] still cant make vbox to work that good but .. [01:10] radi: ya, i've heard it's tough with ati. good luck on that :P [01:10] i play world of warcraft on ubuntu and wine [01:10] Is there is diskette image I could use to try and force boot a cd? My server doesn't even check my cd rom, even after I tried all of the bios settings. [01:11] yesterday i tried counter strike 1.6 with virtualbox and windows xp [01:11] works but .... 20fps [01:11] i wonder if wine will do better [01:11] radi: never hurts to try [01:12] Im running ubuntu 8 on a server and now Im thinking of doing dist-upgrade, how big is the risk of it going awry? [01:12] i have a slow machine tho :p [01:12] kanzie, you should use slack or gentoo for servers [01:12] WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF [01:12] This is driving me nuts. When I select my cd rom in boot options the drive doesn't even blink and gives me an error message [01:12] radi: that's not wathat I asked [01:12] kanzie: any upgrade has risks.. backup any thing important [01:12] i enter the password and it sends me to the login page [01:13] Aliv3: you sure the password is correct? [01:13] yes [01:13] enless im a dumb ass and didnt spell password correct [01:13] Aliv3: i saw the same thing happen to someone a few hours ago and they thought they were putting in the same password, but had confused it with a different one [01:13] guys, i have a question. I have Kubuntu installed on a separate partition on my hard drive. how can i remove the kubuntu partition and extend the Ubuntu one to fill the whole drive without reinstalling [01:13] Aliv3: look in ~/.xsession-errors for possible reasons why gdm crashed [01:13] kanzie, im just giving advice from my experience [01:13] ubuntu is not secure enough [01:13] j800r: gparted [01:14] whoops [01:14] i did spell password wrong [01:14] ima dumb ass [01:14] Aliv3: just meaning to say, don't rule out all possibilities. we as humans often overlook small things [01:14] Aliv3: hehe it's all right :) [01:14] any idea about a tool for administrating mpd via a web navigator ? [01:14] how do i get a pdf printer in lucid [01:14] cups-pdf ? [01:14] that was quick [01:14] thanks [01:14] Aliv3: a little late reply, but watch the language :) [01:14] bsmith093, :) [01:15] bastidrazor, apparently gparted doesn't come installed with lucid and when i do an apt-get install it says it needs to install a ton of kde files (on my ubuntu partition) :\ [01:15] ok sory [01:15] also gentoo and slack are far more stable for servers without X [01:15] if gparted is on the live CD however, I guess i'll do it from there [01:15] now can that pdf printer accept any data an app can print [01:17] j800r: gparted is a Gnome application, and try System > Administration > Disk Utility === AndChat| is now known as holmser [01:19] can i batch print to a pdf printer cups-pdf [01:19] why is ubuntu sporting 0.9.5 of mercurial [01:19] for apt-get [01:19] should I install from tar-ball? [01:19] Is anyone else watching the world cup opening ceremony? [01:20] i have 80+ files to print (cbz, cbr) and it would be nice not to have to open each one seperately [01:20] There's an aplication to past an .conf to web? [01:20] I swear the singer just sang "The spirit of \Ubuntu" [01:20] soreau: so any ideas as to what might have cratered it? like I said I can get as far as getting an access point for it but it will not fully connect [01:20] Undeon, yes pastebin-it [01:20] thanks bsmith093 =) [01:21] if alsa driver, libraries, and utilities versions do not match could that be why sound is not working? [01:21] can i batch pirnt to cups-pdf? and can evince print cbr and cbz files [01:21] jimisrvrox: I have had random issues like this in the past with ubuntus nm-applet and networkmanager programs.. if you want to kill those and try through the terminal we can [01:21] yeah that would be good [01:22] I as well have had probs with nm in the past as well [01:22] bsmith093: what's the command to install it? apt-get intall ...... ? [01:22] jimisrvrox: sudo killall nm-applet NetworkManager && iwconfig essid && dhclient [01:22] Noone [01:22] apt-get install pastebinit [01:22] or pastebin-it [01:23] unfortunately Windoze 7 has spoiled me on the laptop but I have Ubuntu boxes all around and im fixing to see about working on another one so im not far gone from linux :) [01:23] wow, white boys not giving a fuck about Africa, what a surprise. [01:23] Hi [01:23] Hi, I want to join #ubuntu-release-party but I need to be invited... Why ? [01:23] Uresu: is that really neccesary? [01:23] jimisrvrox: If you have a complicated setup with multiple machines on the network, there could be a conflict with the ip addresses [01:23] koshie: that channel is closed [01:24] ! language | Uresu [01:24] Uresu: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:24] Is there an app akin to Wine for OSX apps? [01:24] Closed ? It's empty tsimpson ? [01:24] monokrome: No. [01:24] * monokrome hoped that No would be a yes :'( [01:25] koshie: maybe you're looking for #ubuntu+1 ? [01:25] monokrome: What application are you trying to run? [01:25] koshie: it's only used while a new release happens, other times it's locked and closed [01:25] Jordan_U: Steam [01:25] tsimpson, And to discuss with the organizers ? [01:25] just for Beta's? [01:25] bastidrazor, I will see [01:25] monokrome: Steam is being officially ported to linux, and you can run the windows client in wine. [01:26] koshie: do you know what #ubuntu-release-party is? [01:27] koshie: #ubuntu-release-party is basically a place for people to go during release time so that #ubuntu (which is a support channel) doesn't get filled up with people asking if the next version has been released yet. [01:27] Jordan_U: This is pretty lame, but there's a TF2 item that I want and only mac users can have it. [01:27] If you log in and play for a minute on a mac, you get the item. [01:28] does anyone know what I have to do to be able to do apt-get install mercurial and get a later version than 0.9.5 which is 3 years old [01:29] Anyone have the inspiron mini (1012)? [01:29] kanzie, look for a ppa in launchpad [01:29] kanzie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [01:30] soreau: damn...this sucks! running it as admin and its telling me permission denied! [01:30] jimisrvrox: What are you trying to do? [01:30] kanzie, are you just speaking of the source control package mercurial? I'm showing version 1.4.3 in the repositories. [01:30] kanzie: https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/stable-snapshots [01:30] Im runnign ubuntu 8, could that be the reason? [01:31] guys is ubuntu 10.4 server edition can support interl processor or just amd? [01:31] kanzie: get a later version of ubuntu? In 10.04, default repo mercurial version is1.4.3 [01:31] dumb_dumb: It support intel too [01:31] iwconfig wlan1 essid ..... && dhclient wlan1 [01:31] kanzie: Yes, that *is* the reason [01:31] supports [01:31] jimisrvrox: You have to use sudo for each command [01:31] do the contents of /etc/rc.local get run during startup? I put a line in there and it does not seem to do it [01:31] but i can`t find the link to donload intel processor 64 but [01:32] jimisrvrox: && executes the next command if the previous one succeeded [01:32] how do i convert a crapload (80+) of files in cbr and cbz format all to pdf? i have cups-pdf, but evince apparently won't print these files [01:32] telling me cant create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases permission denied SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied [01:32] yes Im sorry I did it with sudo [01:32] the file i found is using amd name [01:32] is just the same for the 64 bit server edition? [01:33] hi, do u know why netcat has not -exec option? [01:33] jimisrvrox: Right but you have to type sudo multiple times like this: sudo cmd1 && sudo cmd2 [01:33] ooooo [01:33] Thanks!!! I Have Ubuntu operational [01:33] thanks guys [01:33] Aliv3: What fixed it? [01:33] ok [01:34] the dhcp is showing [01:34] soreau: yes, but it is a server...cant reinstall it every year. I did dist-upgrade but it didn't change much [01:34] Aliv3: glad to hear that :) [01:34] damn got the no DHCPOFFERS recieved [01:35] guys, how do you start grub2 when you reboot [01:35] I guess the driver is shot [01:35] before ubuntu [01:35] kanzie: Then your options include trying to install from source or trying to use the deb from later version of ubuntu repos but this is potentially dangerous [01:35] how to go to the options where you can edit grub2 [01:35] kanzie: best way would be to try getting the source built [01:35] every time i restart i get the "your drives are being check for errors" screen, this didn't happen before. anyone know if this is a common bug? [01:35] hello [01:36] upgrdman: probably something to do with system time being messed with === xcl is now known as xue [01:37] some one could give me the link to donload the ubuntu server 10.4 64-bit version for intel processor? [01:37] * AaronM Aaron [01:37] its the same as amd64 [01:37] dumb_dumb its just 64bit, not cpu specific [01:37] oh isee swaian [01:38] couse in the file says amd, i thougt is for amd only [01:38] nope [01:38] oke thanks [01:38] are there any desktop widgets that are still in development? I can only find very outdated ones... [01:38] why netcat has not -exec option? [01:38] one more thing guys [01:38] any one has success installing kannel on ubuntu server? [01:39] so soreau its not getting a dhcp lease from the router [01:39] jimisrvrox: Did you try reloading the driver? rmmod/modprobe [01:39] "sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled" this renames that file? [01:39] no I havent tried unloading reloading [01:40] jimisrvrox: also try shutting down or disconnecting all other machines on the LAN to make sure they arent interfering [01:40] uLinux: yes [01:40] ty bastidrazor [01:40] brb [01:41] good [01:42] weird this is.. [01:42] tried rmmod/modprobe...sudo essid and dhclient and still no dhcp lease [01:43] thing about it is I have one wired linux box and my windoze wireless box and this wireless linux box [01:43] jimisrvrox, Have you tried setting a static IP then changing back to a DHCP lease to see if that resolves the issue? [01:44] and like I said everything was working fine but one day I decided to mac filter this box off the network and then put it back on later and it worked fine then the next day it went to the crapper [01:44] I think what I am going to do is power cycle the router and see if that helps with the DHCP lease... [01:44] brb [01:45] jimisrvrox: not sure if it would be worth a try, but wicd may be able to do a better job [01:45] I've set tooltips_enabled to 0 but still there is some alot of popups in Show desktop, tray icons, etc ... How can I disable it? [01:45] *alot === bastidrazor is now known as bastid_raZor [01:48] j/ #ubuntu-br === jimisrvrox_ is now known as jimisrvrox [01:50] soreau: well power cycle didnt do anything [01:50] Chinese input support on 9.04? [01:51] i looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM [01:51] SCIM does not start at login [01:51] and it is not on the menu [01:52] YankDownUnder: so what commands would I need to use to set the ip and subnet on the adapter? [01:53] jim,ifconfig [01:53] wtf is wlan1:avahi? [01:53] jimisrvrox ifconfig ethX X.X.X.X netmask 255.255.255.0 (maybe) depends on your IP addressing [01:53] jim,u are the typical ubuntu user in my eyes [01:53] jimisrvrox, sudo ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 [01:53] lol [01:54] meh [01:55] Ubuntu should really raise the CPU for the generic-pae kernel to M686. [01:55] This way the PAE kernel will get CMOV instructions. [01:55] I've set tooltips_enabled to 0 but still there is alot of yellow popups. How can I hide/disable them? [01:57] When I got to upload photos to myspace, the computer can see the folder, but cannot see the photos, yet I can go to my pictures folder directly and see all the photos, what would cause this problem? [01:57] hello I'm having a problem with a newly insalled 10.04 LTS on my desktop computer. I tried to enable the graphics cards drivers to enable normal effect, it told me to restart and when I did the loading screen freaked out and a black and white terminal showed up [01:59] jimisrvrox, http://www.computerhope.com/unix/uifconfi.htm [01:59] urghhh...shit setting it static didnt do anything either! === Farkie is now known as Farkie[Away] [01:59] !ohmy | jimisrvrox [01:59] jimisrvrox: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures.

[02:00] I can't get into GNOME because I tried to boot straight into XBMC but its broken [02:00] spezticle: possibly ask in #httpd ..they may have faster answers [02:01] Now I can't do anything until I can get back to the login screen...

[02:03] startx says x 0 server is already active, how can i kill it? [02:03] YankDownUnder: havent changed the module on the card and have been using this setup for a while now [02:04] but I think the driver might be broke if im running a static IP and still cant ping my router [02:04] but whats weird like I said on DHCP I could get an access point so idk [02:05] RevolLLJK: ctrl + C [02:05] I've set tooltips_enabled to 0 but still there is alot of yellow popups. How can I hide/disable them? [02:05] RevolLLJK: kill the current running X or the startx command?

[02:21] (EE) NVIDIA(0): could not open the device file /dev/nividia0 (input/output error). [02:21] then it also said [02:21] it crashes before the user [02:21] brand0n: you can add the new user to have sudo rights by adding them to the admin group:: sudo adduser newuser admin [02:21] i didnt bork anyting, i upgraded to 10.04 [02:21] welel the thing is it doesnt do it everytime [02:21] (EE) Screen(s) found but none have a usable configuaration [02:21] id say 7 out of 10 times [02:21] it does it [02:21] and a simple sudo gdm fixes it [02:21] Does anybody think that the driver is borked because of not being able to ping my router even on a static IP? [02:22] brand0n: I don't think there's a way to restart an upgrade. You'll just have to use the command-line tool aptitude to try and recover [02:22] I'll try that msserver [02:22] mssever theres no problem at all with the upgrade, besides sometimes it goes to the terminal instead of logging into the gui [02:22] and all i do is sudo gdm [02:22] and it fixes it [02:22] so it cant be some serious problem [02:22] brand0n: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:22] floodbot, please stfu [02:23] brand0n: I think I replied to the wrong person. Sorry [02:23] dont type a paragraph to tell me to stop typing paragraphs [02:23] !enter | brand0n [02:23] brand0n: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:23] After sabayon-apply hosed my machine, how can I restore it? Details here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sabayon/+bug/592489 [02:23] why is irc support so hard to get to now?....arg [02:23] brand0n: also using sudo gdm bypasses all your user settings for gnome. that would be why things run differently [02:24] Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check. [02:24] I usually start gdm thus: sudo service gdm start [02:24] mssever: do you think my wireless driver is borked? I dont see how it could be considering iwlist scan sees my network but yet I cant ping the damn router even with a static IP [02:24] anyway. anyone got a dula graphic card switch like stamina/speed on laptop [02:24] jimisrvrox, Sorry - been busy - what's the driver yer usin? [02:25] jimisrvrox: I don't know too much about wireless troubleshooting. Sorry. [02:25] how come I get jaggy horizontal lines when moving windows using metacity but not when using mutter (or compiz) ? [02:25] What format should I convert my AVCHD files into in order to edit them with Vegas 2010 and not lose much quality? [02:26] YankDownUnder: im using the b43/ssb driver and it has been working before 2 days ago...set it to a static IP and cant ping the router but iwlist scan sees my network...this seems very strange to me because being said that iwlist sees the network then I dont think the driver would be borked que no? [02:26] jimisrvrox: check "iwconfig wlan0". are you connected to your router? [02:26] YankDownUnder: and I tried rmmod/modprobe..that didnt work either [02:26] After sabayon-apply hosed my machine, how can I restore it? Details here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sabayon/+bug/592489 [02:26] imperius1: I cant ping the router! but iwlist scan sees the network [02:27] hi all, quick question, is there a way to have VMware Player automatically start and load my VM after a reboot ? [02:27] Benny_132: put it in your startup programs [02:27] jimisrvrox: your router might be set up to not allow pinging. it's actually a smart move security-wise. [02:28] Benny_132: or, if you want to launch it prior to login, you can put it in /etc/rc.local [02:28] why do I keep getting input/output error when I try to install ubuntu 10.04? [02:28] jimisrvrox, What you might try to do is to just blow out ANY settings for that card that you can find - in the /etc/peers dir as well - rmmod the driver first - then double check each of the config dirs - also check the blacklist.conf just to be sure...then modprobe the driver again - see if you can force the settings [02:28] imperius1: I can ping it on my windoze box but now that you said that Im gonna see if I can disallow pinging hehe :) [02:28] Hi I installed 10.04 but my screen goes black at startup is anyone familiar with graphic card issues? I have an intel 828656G [02:28] The_Journey: Did you run the CD integrity check? [02:28] Hi all, how can I redirect video from an application on my screen? I can hear audio, but can't see a video. e.g. from minitube, veetle plugin etc [02:28] Jordan_U: yes [02:28] i just tried changing my account from custom to administrator [02:28] maybe that will help [02:29] also, brasero keeps stopping at 4447mb of 4453mb....anyone ever have that problem? [02:29] i generaly use devede for converting video but it seems to compress them ridicuouslyl small [02:29] id rather an iso use the whole dvd rather than 1.8 to 2.5gb [02:30] Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check [02:30] mssever: ok cool [02:30] YankDownUnder: well unfortunately for me im not that familar with the linux directory setup even though ive been using linux now for about 2 yrs and took a linux class but most of that info has gone out of the brain...but now im doing CCNA and ive had problems with these da** broadcom cards in the past with nm-applet and so forth and I had it documented somewhere how I fixed it but havent a... [02:30] ...clue as to where its at [02:30] brand0n: its the quality of the avi you're starting with.. i convert mkv's and they tend to be around 3.2GB [02:31] msserver : it told me that blahblahblah /evans/.XSession-errors wasn't a file [02:31] yea but i remember using a program on windows called convertxtodvd [02:31] <_mike__> Ive been googling around and couldnt find a decent answer to my problem... Ubuntu doesnt show correctly on Inspiron 2600's did anyone come across a decent fix? [02:31] brand0n: :\ windows != ubuntu [02:31] bastid_raZor: hehehe [02:31] bastid_raZor, when i used convertxtodvd on windows it didnt matter if it was a 700mb avi or a 1.4gb one it ended up making it fit on the dvds max size [02:31] why is and apt-get dist-upgrade removing all the kde stuff in my lucid ubuntu? [02:31] but I tried running sudo gdm and it said Unable to load file /etc/gdm/custom.conf and it also said Unable to find users no seat-id found [02:31] is the point im trying to make [02:31] jimisrvrox, Mate, been there with the Broadcom's before...had to do the same - blow everything out - several times recompile the driver by hand... [02:31] QpSmiley: maybe I remembered the name incorrectly. If you do "ls -A" you'll get a full directory listing. Look for a similar file [02:31] Why do I get the error input / output error when I try to install ubuntu? [02:31] and brasero is attempting to do the same thing as well [02:32] but it just locks up at the end [02:32] bastid_raZor: its Windows < Ubuntu actually. [02:32] okay [02:32] the app itself doesnt freeeze, it just stops [02:32] The_Journey_: bad cd, bad disk, filesystem/drive errors. [02:32] Dr_Willis: every other linux OS works though [02:32] YankDownUnder: oh god sounds horrible! and the thing about it is I wanted to boycott Linksys for their crappy chipsets that just dont play well with linux now im actually happy that a power outtage blew out one of my usb wireless cards hahaha [02:32] The_Journey_: There are many possibilities [02:33] does anyone know how to get the quickcam orbits motors working in linux, like making it point up down turning sideways? [02:33] The_Journey: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after the IO error? [02:33] YankDownUnder: wasted $40 on the card but feels nice to fry their crap if you know what i mean [02:33] The_Journey_: give more information about what you are doing. Its very possible its having issues reading the optuical drive/disk [02:33] Dr_Willis: I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 using a cd [02:33] jimisrvrox, Actually, ain't all that bad - the last bc driver I installed (on this laptop) worked heaps better than the one that came with the install...so, on that note... [02:33] hrm [02:33] interesting [02:34] Dr_Willis: why would there be problem with my optical drive though, my other livecds work [02:34] The_Journey_: if you burnt the cd - uit could be a bad burn, try burning it at the lowest speed the disk can do. or try making a bpptable flash drive [02:34] The_Journey_: ive seen (and have) optical drives that cazn be a little flakey. [02:34] Dr_Willis: I did checksum after burning the disk [02:34] YankDownUnder: well I have no exp in compiling drivers by hand.... [02:34] The_Journey_: I use bootable flash drives these days, Faster to install and less hassles. [02:34] YankDownUnder: I wanted to get the book Ubuntu Toolbox the other day but im over here pinching pennies right now [02:34] jimisrvrox, Something to try, as well, is to stick another card in it - leave the bc card there, blacklist the driver, and try to "Find Hardware Drivers" again to see if that'll blow it out for ya... [02:35] The quality of Optical drives and media seems to have gotten a lot worse over the last few years. [02:35] jimisrvrox, :) - yeah - I fully understand the penny pinchin bit mate [02:35] The_Journey_: Try running the check from the CD's boot menu. That will rule out a bad CD or a bad drive (or a combination of the two) [02:35] Dr_Willis: is there anyway to fix this because I don't have an usb [02:35] YankDownUnder: ok sounds good I can try that but I think I might have the same version of card but im not sure [02:35] The_Journey_: i mentioned burning the disk at the slowest speed the drive can handle. [02:36] The_Journey_: use siome compressed air and clean out the drive also might help [02:36] Dr_Willis: I did the checksum after the burning, so the burning was successful [02:36] is there a way to get network manager to change stuff like network proxy depending if you're at work or at a home network? [02:36] Hola [02:36] YankDownUnder: mind if I pm then? [02:36] Dr_Willis: like I said, every other livecds work except the ubuntu one though [02:36] <_mike__> con-man this might help http://www.quickcamteam.net/search?SearchableText=linux [02:36] una pregunta [02:36] se actualizo el kernel de la version 9.04 a la version 10.04 de ubuntu ? [02:36] hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? [02:36] The_Journey_: im giving you 'standard' things to try. theres no magic fix. [02:36] sri: set up profiles in nm-applet [02:36] Dr_Willis: so it's not my optical drive [02:36] bastid_raZor: cool.. I'll check that out. [02:37] bastid_raZor: what about if you activate a vpn? still will fix it? [02:37] The_Journey_: burn at slowest speed is often a fix. Dont ask me why. [02:37] bastid_raZor: hey what you think of Windoze 7? I know theyre the evil empire but what do you think about it as an OS? [02:37] msserver: it basically said it couldn't find the session file and then a bunch of stuff that didn't look human [02:37] sri: you can have vpn profiles as well. [02:37] Dr_Willis: if the burning didn't work, then the checksum would have failed [02:37] YankDownUnder: mind if I pm then? [02:37] hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? [02:37] btw its /.xsession.errors [02:37] bastid_raZor: is there a link to an article or something that i can get more information? [02:37] jimisrvrox: i've used it once, had no real opinion on it. [02:38] jimisrvrox, Go for it mate [02:38] anyone use devede? [02:38] sri right click the icon in the top bar, edit connections. let me look for a howto [02:38] The_Journey_: with your logic then - the thing should work.. so what else are you going to try.. takes 0 min to reburn the disk at the slowerst speed. and another few sec to give the drive a hit of comopressed air. also you could double check the cables. [02:39] is there a way to limit physical memory in Ubuntu? [02:39] The_Journey_: try the disk in other pc's as a test also i guess [02:39] but that wont help the problem pc. [02:39] is there a way to get Gnome Do for 10.04 ? [02:39] drizzt_: to tell it to only use a certain amount and pretend the rest's not there? [02:39] Vooloo: its in the repos I think [02:39] Vooloo, it is in it [02:39] drizzt_: boot with "mem=512m" or whatever [02:39] The_Journey_: It can be a combination of a slightly bad disk and a poor drive. I've had CDs that checksumm'd fine on drive A, but not on drive B. While drive B could read other CDs fine. [02:39] cool [02:40] hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? [02:40] Dr_Willis: I have a music player that stores music files, could I use that as a usb to install Ubuntu? [02:40] Jordan_U: im on my 3rd optical drive for my main box. Just cant seem to get ones that can last these days [02:40] The_Journey_: doubtfull. [02:40] can anyone explain to me why in DeVeDe i add an avi file and it will say like 120% disk usage but when its done converting the iso is like 2.0gb? [02:40] The_Journey_: i don't recommend it. [02:40] The_Journey_: if it can me made 'bootable' it might work. but i wouldent guiarentee that [02:40] Dr_Willis: Isn't it just an external storage too? [02:41] sri: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7?highlight=(nm\-applet) it doesn't talk about vpn but you will get the general idea on how to use nm-applet [02:41] The_Journey_: not quite, sometimes the thing has its own software hiding somewhere on the storage partition(s) [02:41] I thought a music player is an external storage with drivers to play mp3's files? [02:41] Dr_Willis: With grub2's iso booting I hardly ever need a physical CD any more :) [02:41] brand0n: its goofy :) ive seen that also. click on the button to the left of the 120% gague to get it to resize/recalculate. and it seems to give a more proper answer [02:41] bastid_raZor: thanks! [02:41] The_Journey_: it depends on the music player/device. [02:41] hi, I'm having a major problem. I just reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch on my computer, and now I can't get an Ethernet connection working. Can someone help me? [02:41] sri: best of luck [02:41] Jordan_U: Yep. same here. About ready to remove my flakey optical drive and put in another TB hd. [02:42] does anyone know how to fix this on ubuntu: configure: error: could not find DocBook XSL Stylesheets in XML catalog , i found something by googling but it does not work on ubuntu (Fix: apt-get install docbook-style-xsl) [02:42] CaptainTrek: I have a Sly P3 Digital Player, would that work as a usb to install ubuntu? [02:42] Jordan_U: burnt some cd's for a friend (ubuntu) and went to check summ them and they all 3 failed with IO errors :( couldent even md5sum them [02:42] Dr_Willis: I used to always have hundreds of old Distro pre-release coasters lying around, along with a few dead flash drives :) [02:43] The_Journey_: in my experience, installing a linux partition to a music player / MP3 playing device has bad after-effects. [02:43] CaptainTrek: like what? [02:43] CaptainTrek: does it just not work? [02:43] Anyone else want to take a crack at how to fix my problem?: I enabled my graphics card driver and it starts up in the terminal login screen instead of the gdm anyone want to take a crack at it? [02:44] brand0n: I've noticed other apps that rely on DVDAuthor that have that same problem. I haven't researched it, but I suspect it's something wrong in the reporting in that or one of the apps it relies on. [02:44] The_Journey_: i'm unfamiliar with the device you mentioned, but most of those devices cannot, I repeat, CANNOT handle the ext3/ext4 partitions used by linux, thus preventing you from using the MP3 player to listen to music. [02:44] hi, I'm having trouble getting an Internet connection with my fresh Ubuntu install. Can someone help me? [02:44] I just want to say earlier today I asked about trying to connect from tsclient on 10.04 to a Vista machine. I got an error and couldn't figure it out. [02:44] QpSmiley: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak" should get GDM starting again, but I can't help much with getting the proprietary drivers working. [02:45] do u guys know if there is an app that will make the state of ur current OS into an ISO image and then later on u can install it and have it like u had it then? [02:45] bastid_raZor: not quite what I was looking for.. what I wanted to do was change like my firefox proxy, my apt proxy etc etc. [02:45] Why isn't my question being answered? [02:46] But just now I discovered TeamViewer has a Linux client/server free for personal use. Wayyyy simple. Worked right off. i'll still try to figure out the FLOSS tools at some point, but for now at least I'm up and running. [02:46] bastid_raZor: there was a tool that did something like this written by Ross Burton I just can't remember what it was. [02:46] thank you Jordan_U will give it a try [02:46] therianthrope just post your question again and wait [02:47] Has anyone been having trouble sharing files between windows and linux through a fat32 partition? [02:47] Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check [02:47] This tool (TeamViewer) could be useful for giving support here. No brainer simple. [02:47] can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working? I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out [02:47] QpSmiley: You're welcome. [02:48] hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? [02:49] why do I get not authorized error when I try to plug in an external usb? [02:49] therianthrope, http://itcrumbs.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-on-bitlocker-protected.html [02:49] hi [02:50] I've installed xmonad on ubuntu but when I chose the xmonad session it doesn't load it. Just stays at the gdm screen. Why? [02:50] sri: ah, i do not know how to do what you're wanting. [02:50] ok, I'm begging someone to help me with my Internet connection issue [02:50] bastid_raZor: that's cool. I knwo someone has written something.. basically you want to autoconfig your laptop to not have any dependencies on your work network and vice versa. [02:50] Traveler: try the xterm session and load xmonad by hand. there could be some config issues with xmonad. [02:51] Tyranos: Win7 and Ubuntu are already installed - safe to encrypt? [02:51] hi i have posed my questions 3 times in a row without a response while googling non stop to see how my issue can be resolved. does anyone with experience with cron help me? [02:51] therianthrope, i dont know anything about bitlocker i first heard of it when you asked :) sry but cant help you there [02:52] therianthrope, but maybe someone else can, read that article first [02:52] Dr_Willis: Config issues with xmonad ? Xmonad works like a charm on other distributions so I doubt it. [02:52] okay ... well that didnt work Jordan_U [02:52] Anyone in here running xmonad ? [02:52] Ola! [02:52] Traveler: possibly look in .xsession-errors for possible errors [02:52] Algum Brasileiro ? [02:52] Traveler: one way to find out.. try loading it by hand.. look for error messages [02:53] does ANYONE here have experience with an Ethernet card that won't connect to the Internet? [02:53] hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? [02:53] anyone who converts movies alot: ffmpeg or mencoder? [02:53] machine_: solamente ingles [02:53] anyone have experience with a pxe install? [02:53] I dont know if this will be helpful to anyone or not, but you can create a fat32 partition on a dual-boot system (i used Windows 7 to create the partition) and use that to share files between Linux/Ubuntu (im using Backtrack 4) as long you have it setup as Shared in Windows. [02:54] mencoder seems to compress stuff way more than necessary when converting to dvd, ffmpeg seems to focus more on quality than compression [02:54] How to set grub, so the text based ubuntu inatalator will not look for CD but it will take hd0,10 as a cdrom ? [02:54] !patience | jdsbluedevl [02:54] jdsbluedevl: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [02:54] Jordan_U : I entered it .. no confirmation that it worked so then i tried to Ctrl+alt+f7 then that came up with a screen that had something about an AppArmor profile so i guess that didn't work then i forced shutdown then i entered it again and it said it couldnt stat xorg.conf [02:54] yeah, but it feels so simple it's stupid, and for some reason I can't figure it out [02:54] QpSmiley: What version of Ubuntu? [02:54] 10.04 [02:54] UBUNTUnoCD: What are you trying to accomplish? [02:55] brand0n: both have 2000+ settings you can try and work with differnt codecs. So its all a matter of what you want to do. [02:55] I can run ubuntu instalator from Grub, but how set grub, so the text based ubuntu inatalator will not look for CD but it will take hd0,10 as a cdrom ? [02:55] Jordan_U, copy instlall CD to hda11 and intall it from there [02:55] Dr_Willis, ive used DeVeDe for awhile and it always compresses movies to a retarded degree (whether its a 700mb avi or 1.4gb avi it comes out to be around 2gb iso) [02:55] id rather it use all of the dvd and be better quality [02:56] brand0n: play with the settings then. [02:56] UBUNTUnoCD, i managed once to install from the ubuntu alternate-cd as an iso from my harddrive, but i think what you want is different === Guest14778 is now known as kasun [02:56] tyranos, I use alternate CD for minimal install, all sowteare needs to be installed manually [02:56] UBUNTUnoCD: What is your end goal? See: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal [02:57] UBUNTUnoCD, so what i understand is that you have no cd player but wish to install from an iso am i correct ? [02:57] UBUNTUnoCD, i mean no cdrom drive [02:57] hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? [02:58] hi all [02:58] tyranos, yes [02:58] is there a command to isntall the default graphics driver? [02:58] Zeu5: run "top" and see if it pops up? [02:58] !hi | gonzoBLUE [02:58] gonzoBLUE: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [02:58] anyone here use neatx? [02:58] I don't know how to restart it. [02:58] Zeu5: did you add the correct letters [02:58] can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working? I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out [02:59] maco: what do you mean by run "top"? [02:59] Does anyone here have a laptop with a core i3 or i5 succesfully running on any variation of *nix? [02:59] Jordan_U, I boot alternate installer from hda11 , but it looks for CD and can not install, I guess I have to add some grub option, so the installator will know where are the installation files. [02:59] i did a crontab @reboot and I got it working after some trouble [02:59] tyranos, my CDrw is unreadable [02:59] UBUNTUnoCD, and youo cant boot off a usb key or flash drive ? [02:59] man I love lubuntu [02:59] UBUNTUnoCD: Please read the link that I gave you.

[03:00] tertl3: thank you very much [03:00] Jordan_U, I responsed as the given exaple is, on that link. :) what could be improved :) ? [03:00] apt-get install gdm I believe [03:01] Zeu5: someone walked me through it but hang on I'll try to find it [03:01] Zeu5: the top command shows what commands are running [03:01] hello [03:01] Jordan_U, you waisted my time [03:01] :P [03:02] jdb_, [03:02] tyranos, I had no problem with arch about that :-D [03:02] Jordan_U, I had no problem with arch about that :-D [03:02] Zeu5: here it is to run irssi at boot up @reboot sleep 50 && screen -d -m -S irssi irssi [03:02] UBUNTUnoCD: "booting the alternate installer from hda11" is still a step, not a goal. I assume, for example, that you want to install Ubuntu, and there is something stopping you from doing that normally by booting from CD. [03:02] maco: i run top but i see nothing that looks like svn update OR gnome-schedule or cron [03:03] tertl3: you have to use /full/paths/to/command in cron [03:03] Jordan_U, yes, no CD , no usb drive [03:03] can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working? I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out [03:03] bastid_raZor: it works [03:03] Zeu5: hmm in that case maybe: while [1] ; do ps -ef | grep "svn" ; done [03:03] tertl3: i am trying to run a svn update. my command as i have mentioned just now is working because i run it manually. i am just stumped as to why it appears not to be running every minute as i planned. do you have an insight into this? [03:04] UBUNTUnoCD, it is possible i did it once on my old computer with broken cd rom, ijust cant find that guide [03:04] i cant get a second hd to mount as 777, i tried using pysdm and that was no luck [03:04] Zeu5: no, I think you have typed something incorrectly or left something out of your command === gtoy is now known as blackscreen [03:04] bastid_raZor: tertl3 was trying to help me with my cron issue. which i deeply appreciate. do you have any insights as to how i can get my scheduled tasks to work?

[03:05] crf, screensaver [03:05] Hello, is anyone free to lend me a hand with conky? [03:05] UBUNTUnoCD: The absolute easiest method is to boot the netboot installer (which is just a kernel and initramfs) [03:05] hi tertl3, could you explain a bit more? [03:06] crf, so to screensaver settings and try to change it [03:06] tertl3: i disagree. but you may be right. here it is : svn update /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp [03:06] would burning an ubuntu cd iso onto a dvd work? [03:06] tertl3: i go post in offtopic as well. i hope it works [03:06] How can I disable the graphics driver I enabled that screwed up my gdm? [03:06] Zeu5: what about the interval?

[03:06] merma, ty [03:06] UBUNTUnoCD: I think that the installer might complain if it's booted from the same drive you're installing to, even if you aren't modifying the particular partition it's on. [03:06] jdsbluedevl, so this is a fresh install? which means it worked before? [03:06] Jordan_U, it is possible i didnt check the link i posted [03:07] nibblyn: yes [03:07] Jordan_U, it is possible i did it, check the link i posted [03:07] can anyone help me with conky? [03:07] jdsbluedevl, do you use a router?

[03:18] greezmunkey: yes, link light is on, but I just can't connect [03:19] jdsbluedevl: left click the network manager icon in the upper right of your screen, do you see an available connection, maybe called auto eth0? [03:19] how do you run an app under a different audio type? (e.g. pulse, alsa [03:19] greezmunkey: the problem is in /etc/network/interfaces, there is only one entry in there, and it pertains to lo. No eth0 or eth1 in that file [03:20] jdsbluedevl: that only means that network manager is available to manage your connections, it's bby design. [03:20] oh [03:20] greezmunkey: oh right, the entries would have to be commented out anyways [03:21] jdsbluedevl: so left click the NM icon, is there an availabe connection?

[03:22] one what? gdm or tty1? [03:22] jdsbluedevl: ok, right click that same icon, select edit connections, what do you see there under wired connections? [03:22] the problem is that they are not any drivers for iP1500. [03:22] QpSmiley, are you running another xserver at the same time [03:22] greezmunkey: Auth eth0 and Auto eth1 [03:22] Alejandro89, sorry, i doubr your gonan have any luck. unless you can port a windows driver somehow [03:23] xyzaffair, 1.5 within a lan or the internet [03:23] i need help. Im a bit new to linux and this irc, so how do i get past the "ban" on the #backtrack-linux channel? [03:23] jdsbluedevl: in a terminal window, run ifconfig - what interfaces show up? Is eth0 one of them? [03:23] to be honest I don't know ... before i tried to enable a driver(NVIDIA) and when i restarted my gdm got all messed up .. so it started in tty1 so I'm just trying to get back to where I was prior to enabling the driver [03:23] greezmunkey: ifconfig shows both eth0 and eth1 [03:23] Shade37: ask in #freenode [03:23] greezmunkey: as well as eth0:avahi and eth1:avahi [03:24] jdsbluedevl: edit auto eth0, what do you see for method?

[03:24] pvl1, was getting about 3.0mb on windows so I know something is wrong and my connection % is bad [03:24] jdsbluedevl: do you also have a wireless interface installed? [03:25] greezmunkey: no [03:25] xyzaffair, you sure u got a good driver on it then [03:25] pvl1, im using the one from hardware manager the broadcom STA [03:26] jdsbluedevl: ok, try this in a terminal window: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - see what happens... [03:26] QpSmiley, you most likely need to reinstall the driver then [03:26] greezmunkey: ok, what next? [03:26] xyzaffair, i gotcha. now is this over http? or howd u check it [03:26] pvl1, I would love to how do I do that in tty1 ... or I will just go back to the default driver [03:26] pvl1, um nfs client/server transfer a big file [03:27] jdsbluedevl: left click the NM icon, look for available connections [03:27] greezmunkey: same eth1, same timeout problem [03:27] xyzaffair, ok, you sure got ports open and such? [03:27] QpSmiley, to make it easy, just install envy-ng [03:27] pvl1, that doesn't matter on a lan... [03:27] !envy-ng [03:27] jdsbluedevl: ok, well then we'll have to dig a bit deeper... [03:27] xyzaffair, it depends on the dhcp server in the router, if you have a modern router, it doesnt matter [03:27] pvl1 im new so would sudo apt-get install envy-ng work? [03:27] !envyng [03:27] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE).

[03:29] xyzaffair, my best guess is the driver is iffy [03:29] greezmunkey: no, laptop is connected to university wireless, Ubuntu computer should be connected to wired Ethernet connection [03:29] pvl1, its the one ubuntu ships .....

For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. === [Nitsuga] is now known as Nitsuga [03:44] pvl1, it said GTKWarning: couldn't open display [03:45] then it said searching for drivers.... ||| then a new terminal line came up(an input line) [03:45] godzirra, how is it asking, like whats the actually question [03:45] pvl1: When I try and login I get this: Permission denied (publickey). [03:45] pvl1: Unless I specify the key with -i [03:46] godzirra, did you set it up on your own [03:46] pvl1: Its part of a cloud setup, so it set it up by itself more or less. [03:46] does anyone know a shortcut I can use on the boot-up to go to the gdm/user-switcher? [03:47] Goatee: you don't get the login screen upon booting? [03:47] godzirra, ok can you access the system tho? it seems like you just need to edit ur config file [03:47] Yes, I can access it fine. [03:48] I just have to specify the private key file. [03:48] And I don't wnt to have to do that. [03:48] godzirra: what is the path to the file? [03:48] Hey can someone tell me what files they are using to watch today's latest videos on Lucid 10.04? I can't seem to read some DVDs even though I did install the "missing media files" Kubuntu 10.04 asks you after install. Thanks :) [03:48] prince_jammys: Why does it matter? [03:48] godzirra: guess. [03:49] prince_jammys: no, I don't have it as a preference. but I need to get to it because I can't logout from the running session (Unity Netbook Edition has problem with my desktop-resolution and reloads everything) [03:49] godzirra, the file to edit is /etc/ssh/sshd_config [03:49] YAY4green: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras [03:50] hey ppl, i know this is not a ubuntu question, but is there a way to transfer emails out of gmail to a different email supplier ?

[03:50] prince_jammys: I know I can press alt on a Mac to choose from the startup disk and hoped I can do something similar with the login screen on ubuntu. [03:51] acerimmer thanks for answer :) [03:51] pvl1: did you see my last message? [03:51] YAY4green: no prob [03:51] QpSmiley, sorry i dont think so [03:51] pvl1: no the mails already stored on their servers... i know if i just forward them i can do it any other way [03:51] pvl1: there are about 2000 messages and forwarding them by hand is out of the question [03:51] pvl1: it said GTKWarning: couldn't open display ||| then it said searching for drivers.... ||| then a new terminal line came up(an input line) [03:52] moin [03:52] You can turn on POP3 or IMAP on gmail and use any mail backup program or just use any mail client. [03:52] rshakin, well basically, you could download them all to an email app and try to back em up. i tnik evolution can o that === Rafael is now known as rgotten [03:52] QpSmiley, gimme aminute [03:52] Evolution, Thunderbird, any of them really. [03:53] pvl1: okay thank you very much :D [03:53] Doing it that way should preserve any folder structure as well. [03:53] pvl1: what about exporting them back up to another provider such as yahoo or something like that [03:53] Goatee: You can hold shift during boot and choose recovery mode, but that will bring you to a recovery menu (where you can get to a terminal to fix things). It won't bring you to the GDM. [03:53] how hard or easy is to use a webserver [03:53] As far as getting them back up that will depend on where you're going.

I understand how to use programs from the terminal, but how do I add them to the applications?

[04:14] bricky, it's called slip streaming, it gives you a generic set of instructions, but basically it's you create your own XP install disk that has some modifications [04:14] is there a chatroom for totem?

[04:19] ZachK: OK. Yeah - I just reinstalled 9.10. All I've done so far on Mozilla is get the hosts-file from mvps.org - and do the Google search required to get there. KlamAV is telling me I have these viruses ... name of file = /usr/lib/lib*.so, name of the problem is "Encryption.Zip". Are library files typically encrypted? Is this something to be worried about?

[04:28] just icewm [04:29] Hey guys I just compiled xchat_auth.c , I had no error messages, but I can still see ~ before my nick in the whois on irc, which is problematic on the undernet server, anyone have experience with ident in ubuntu? I'm using 10.04 === Zi is now known as Zhwazi [04:29] cppisweird, under http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Install_from_USB_drive#Booting_up_and_Installing it says that it should ask where the iso is located [04:29] i see. [04:29] which is weird, because i don't recall it asking me that (i've used unetbootin for a few isos before). does it ask any any point in time though? [04:30] i did have another cd in the cdrom, perhaps if i remove it. brb i will try again [04:30] CppIsWeird, i could certainly be wrong! but i didn't think server or alternate cd worked from USB, i've certainly heard of the cd error before. best of luck man. i hope i'm wrong :) [04:30] cppisweird; alright. and maybe zykotick9 is right :-/ [04:31] hey, i just read tar's --help but i can't figure out how to extract a .tar into a different directory. help? [04:32] istvan: all I do is navigate to the directory I want the un tar'd file in and then type tar -xvf /path/to/tar/file [04:33] heh, thats sort of odd. it would seem to me that the server version would have more use with alternative installation methods. [04:33] CppIsWeird, it does - but i'm not sure about USB [04:33] istvan: it's oddly worded, but -C /destination/dir/ does it [04:33] ah, ok [04:34] thanks both of you! [04:34] cppisweird, you'd think so. i guess 10.04 is still more of a bare bones OS [04:35] ZykoticK9, ive found tutorials on netbooting bit not from windows. does the dhcp server itself have to be pxe enabled? [04:35] WebSiteAdministrationQuestion: Hey all. Can someone help me understand what the term media means/applies-to? I heard that from a web developer friend of mine... and I didn't understand its use. [04:35] CppIsWeird, sorry man i've never tried using any of the net booting stuff. good luck! [04:35] ZykoticK9, thanks anyways. :) [04:36] SeanInSeattle, media just means music or videos usually, if that's the question [04:36] CppIsWeird: No you do not [04:37] I just compiled xchat_auth.c , but I can still see ~ before my nick in the whois on irc, which is problematic on the undernet server, anyone have experience with enabling ident in ubuntu or at least this fake one?

[04:38] Cittadino: Look up wireshark. [04:38] Cittadino, Wireshark? [04:38] cittadino, you can do it with squid proxy; but i'm not really familiar with it to give instructions [04:39] Cittadino: tcpdump. [04:39] cittadino: yeah wireshark would be MUCH easier lol [04:39] wireshark [04:39] i'm already loading my connect text file and it works, It registers my nick on undernet so I know that works [04:39] incoming/outcoming connections.. i think i can skip packets themselves.. not looking a sniffer just to log connections [04:39] [23:25] * [lieb] is logged in as lieb [04:39] This is kind of random but does anyone know how to use advanced gmail search? [04:39] I have make Xen from source code, how I got Dom0 Kernel === emmanuel is now known as Axilus [04:40] * [lieb] (~jimbuntu@modemcabl [04:40] still not identd [04:40] yup [04:40] mobi, i have, it stops during the installation looking for the cd in the cdrom [04:40] CppIsWeird, check this out/ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/ [04:40] I know [04:40] Axilus: try asking a more specific question, in #ubuntu-offtopic [04:40] lieb, so your using > /msg nickserv identify { your nic } {your password like that } ? [04:40] should i go for wireshark even just for connection logging? [04:40] I tried xinetd, oidentd before, and now im up to loading a fake one [04:40] yup [04:41] my computer froze now it let me reboot it.. are there things i ought to do? [04:41] ok ill check it out ty [04:41] it connects me but still prompts to /quote pass01234 something like that every once in a while [04:41] cittadino: that would probably be easiest. it's possible to set up a real internal proxy server via squid (connects between the host and switch/router) that does full logs, but that's quite a hassle [04:41] i'm lost than [04:41] lieb, the quote pass thing can be bypassed with a script also [04:42] Ive compiled xchat_auth correctly into my /home/auth/ [04:42] ive suidroot it too [04:42] xchat.org/auth/ [04:42] shadows090 but i'd just get web connections in that case, correct me if im wrong [04:42] lieb, windows or linux, there is a script for it, ask in #xchat [04:42] i notice in the user management aspect of gnome that you have the ability to change the location of a users home directory. i am the only user on the comp, and wish to change the location of my /home directory, and next installation, change my username to match that directory. is that all doable ? [04:42] linux [04:43] ill just look for a script then, but im pretty sure I looked [04:43] lieb, i have it if you dont get it [04:43] where can I download VMware for linux === ericm-afk is now known as ericm [04:44] bricky vmware [04:44] it has to be near impossible.. ;P [04:44] I'm asking here cause i'm using ubuntu lucid lynx, and if anyone had a suggestion to make ident work, tell me!, I've even forwarded port 113 in my router (tomato linux) [04:44] cittadino: squid can log just about anything (even how much resources the hosts are using). it's quite advanced for what you're trying to do; and i'm not too familiar with it to answer specific questions. there's probably a way to just log ip connections though [04:44] bricky, one sec i have it [04:44] hiexpo: thats just step one and its taking me hours [04:44] it does support ident anyways, and I had DD-WRT before and that did as well [04:44] thank you hiexpo === paulo is now known as PauloRicardo [04:45] lieb, oidentd has worked for me in the past sudo apt-cache search oidentd [04:45] how can I take a screenshot at my login manager? scrot just gives me error [04:45] will import work? [04:46] forward 113 on your static ip address, then just adjust its configuration i assume [04:46] lieb, then restart servicer [04:46] service [04:47] benkevan, does it have to be "your" login manager? it's easy to take screenshots of VM's login windows, not sure how you could do it on a native system though! good luck. [04:47] It's already forwarded, so is 10 dcc ports for downloads/uploads which works like a charm [04:48] lieb, then get googling :) [04:48] anyone know if "Good Os" distro is any good compared to XUbuntu? [04:49] ZykoticK9: yeah.. that was my thought also.. guess I'll just load up slim in a vm, and take a screenshot.. [04:49] yup, im trying oidentd again [04:49] hi I want to upgrade to the new version of ubuntu by my hd only has 3.7 gigs left. when you upgrade are the pacakages from the old release "deselected" or are they actually purged? [04:49] benkevan, if it doesn't have to be yours you could probably just find a picture lol. i'm not sure what the use is though [04:50] ? it's to take a picture of a dm theme I made [04:50] thanks.. [04:50] benkevan, ooh ok. wish i could help [04:50] maybe a vnc would work instead? [04:51] whichever is easier i guess [04:51] trevor: ask at ##linux, though you're unlikely to get a straight answer to a question like this. [04:51] I spose so :) [04:51] actually [04:51] How would I add a folder to the right click "Move to"? [04:51] i should be able to use xnest? [04:51] ubuntus: dump obsolete packages first, sudo apt-get autoremove [04:51] Should i install the FGLRX drivers on 10.04 for an ATI 5850, or should i download the ones from ATI? [04:51] yay!!! my gdm is fixed! [04:51] well gdm! [04:51] acerimeer_, before or after the upgrade? [04:52] QpSmiley1: used nv driver? [04:52] benkevan, yeah that should work actually [04:52] yes prince! [04:52] QpSmiley1: did you uninstall it [04:52] ? [04:52] whats the best way to share my net connection with a xp netbook via cable? im using ubuntu 10.4. [04:52] no ben, my driver wouldn't allow gdm to load then i switched the driver [04:52] QpSmiley1: you'll probably be tempted to try propietary ones like you were doing. Now you know what to do when Xorg breaks. [04:53] markcl, you could do a bridge if you have a crossover cable [04:53] benkevan, " -n, --xnest Ignored - retained for compatibility" that's from gdmflexiserver (what used to run xnest) [04:53] markcl, what type of connection do you want [04:53] yea I'm planning on trying some others now =P [04:53] bricky, - sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) [04:53] bricky, - pm [04:54] QpSmiley1: see the bot's guide about nvidia === Administrator is now known as Guest15850 [04:54] I'm not quite sure I understand. Is Sun Java JRE available in 64-bit for Ubuntu from the repositories? [04:54] And this applies to Hardy, Jaunty, Karmic, and Lucid? [04:54] okay thank you prince_jammys [04:54] why is my text cut in half in this chat? [04:54] bricky, - go here and find it instructions included \\\ http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Karmic [04:55] bricky, u are useing 9.10 ? [04:56] bot [04:56] hiexpo, he is using 10.4 [04:56] should i install GRUB on wubi insall? [04:56] benkevan, ok so i installed xnest - then tried running it with "Xnest :1" but it just shows me a black screen :( Hope you find an actual solution. [04:56] shadows090, kathe: i want to share my connection from ubuntu to xp. i have the cable already installed. my only problem is how to set it up in ubuntu. [04:56] kathe, - oh ok he'sgot problems than :) [04:56] genewitch: NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO! [04:57] acerimmer_: yeah i thought it was odd that it even asked. [04:57] markcl, just give each computer a static ip address in the same subnet with the same mask, etc [04:57] acerimmer_ what is that line from [04:57] markcl, what type of connection, do you just want to copy files, play games, basically proticols [04:57] genewitch: at least research grub/wubi before you attempt it [04:57] my sound is mute and i cant unmute it. I'm using ubuntu v10.04 lts, who do i unmute it [04:57] yes yes a thousand times yes [04:57] biggestchops: that's from my life, man. everyday [04:57] is it jane austen? [04:57] acerimmer_: it was a system update thing, it asked if i wanted to continue without installing grub [04:58] it is funny that someone named acerimmer_ would be quoting jane austen unwittingly [04:58] genewitch: sorry gotta go in no === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away [04:58] if indeed acerimmer_ means what i think it does [04:58] mopi: is there an easy way to set it up so that my ubuntu box automatically gives xp an adress via dhcp or is the static ip option the best setup? [04:58] !ics | markcl [04:58] markcl: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [04:58] markcl, the older ubuntus (6 versions) could use bridge-utils to set it up (should be in repository), but it did require some manual connections [04:59] manual settings** [04:59] markcl: static is your best option for crossover [04:59] anyone know any screenlets that play music other than MPD [04:59] markcl, you can use bridge-utils, or if you have a router [04:59] markcl: its the quickest way [04:59] is there a simple way to join irc ? i cant figure out empathy [04:59] thanks mopi. [04:59] my sound is mute and i cant unmute it. I'm using ubuntu v10.04 lts, how do i unmute it, n e one? [04:59] So should i install the restricted FGLRX driver that ubuntu is talking about for my ati 5850 or should i install the proprietary one from ATI's website? [05:00] Is there a 100% working native Java 64-bit for Ubuntu now? Or does it still have issues that the 32-bit version does not? [05:00] soge, that's a tricky one, because there can be a lot of things, have you checked the forums yet for your model computer [05:00] genewitch, It's the same driver [05:00] how are you supposed to join irc support ubuntu? [05:00] genewitch, use the package manager [05:00] took me forever [05:00] edbian: good to know [05:00] thompa, use Xchat [05:00] edbian: package manager? not the hardware drivers screen? [05:00] xChat 2** [05:00] ok [05:01] genewitch, same thing again :) [05:01] kathe: it was working before ( last startup ) , now it just says "mute all". I [05:01] thompa: I did better w/ Konversation. Its pretty simple. I haven't figured out empathy yet either === Sup|Away is now known as Sup|Lobby [05:01] empathy reminds me of apple chat [05:01] mknarr: seems more difficult now [05:01] does anybody know if or when samba 4 will be released? [05:01] thompa, i just set it up like 3 secs ago [05:02] soge, you install anything or run an update recently [05:02] i keep clicking wrong thing. rooms or these flickr and other accounts [05:02] thompa: hate to say, but i couldn't figure out xchat either. Konversation [05:02] made to mess you up it seems [05:02] yes, i installed quite a few things... [05:02] yea ive used konversation [05:02] ok, i find xchat pretty ez but i onlu ever log on to 1 irc channel this one lol [05:03] thompa: what are you on right now? [05:03] i make my self available in empathy and nothing happens [05:03] any idea why my synergy wont stay connected? [05:03] empathy. i dont know how i got it working [05:03] glorious__, pidgin [05:03] okay, I have an nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 .. should I use nv or nouveau [05:03] or is it pigin i dont know [05:03] thompa: that's too bad, or I'd ask you how you did it [05:04] lol [05:04] vnc keeps bringing up black screens, synergy stops working [05:04] is there channel specifically for ubuntu server [05:04] and some things i dont want to do in terminal [05:04] options? [05:04] soge, I wouldn't know where to begin then, I highly suggest searching the forums for your model computer and no sound [05:04] !server > mopi [05:04] mopi, please see my private message [05:04] glorious__: support page is wrong too. it says use something elese [05:04] hiexpo: well hate to say, but i haven't figured out pidgin yet either [05:04] !server > mknarr [05:04] mknarr, please see my private message [05:05] glorious__, pidgin is easy and does it all [05:05] prince_jammys: thanks [05:05] kathe: my computer is no specific model... ( its custom ), so do i instead search for the motherboard then ? [05:05] thompa: I usually want to use the default first so i can teach others, but so far i can't figure out empathy [05:05] mopi: err, #ubuntu-server [05:06] glorious__: yea [05:06] soge, do you know the model of soundcard and if on board sound, then model [05:06] broadcast accounts confusing term [05:06] glorious__, - what do u need it to do? [05:06] flikr and all sorts of junk on there [05:06] !join #ubuntu-server [05:07] hiexpo: okay, at some point i'll try pidgin again on your rec. [05:07] mknarr: slash instead of exclamation point [05:07] kathe: no i'll have to look that up, also do you know why this happened? [05:07] prince_jammys, thx [05:07] soge, usually it's some jacked up configuration in pulse or alsa that does this, it's been a problem since they put pulse audio in ubuntu [05:07] Hey guys, I'm using Ubuntu 10.0.4 and had to reinstall my ati drivers from the package manager and I reenabled 3D acceleration and now it's not picking up all my monitor resolutions any ideas :/ [05:07] hiexpo: to begin w/, just connect [05:07] soge, you will find lots of people with the problem, I've had it on every machine, and the fix has been different every time [05:07] soge, the worst case scenerio is getting rid of pulse [05:08] soge, there is an artical called getting rid of the beast called pulse or similiar [05:08] kathe: pulse... alright i'll have to research this then , damn. [05:08] is there a point to setting up a firewall in ubuntu? arent the programs trusted anyway? [05:08] glorious__: im going back to konversation. empathy is a nightmare [05:08] hi [05:09] ubottu [05:09] ! [05:09] mopi: /msg ubottu SomeKeyword [05:09] any body know how to fix the network-manager issue? [05:09] Anyone?

Thanks! [05:10] mopi: for example: /msg ubottu server to start a chat with ubottu. [05:10] copanti, i often remove the nm applet and readd it [05:10] hiexpo: i just started it and it seems like i must have gotten further than i remembered [05:10] How do you restart x-windows? [05:10] am I the only one who's had an installation of WINE break Firefox's font rendering? [05:10] does anyone know of a working YCbCr to RGB converter? [05:11] hoho [05:11] is there a list of commands for ubottu [05:11] tom_: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart , if you use a graphical login. [05:11] taiyal, i've heard of that recently, so i dont think so, your not alone... don't know the fix :( [05:11] prince_jammys: x-windows keeps crashing and I can't get to a terminal. [05:11] tom_, alt+sysrq+k is the panic keys, "sudo service gdm restart" is the command to restart GDM [05:11] kathe: I'd just look it up on Google but I need to install Dillo first >_< [05:11] fdfsdfgsg [05:11] nhp]p [05:12] tom_: that sucks. see if the sysrq way works. [05:12] kathe: i has to installed wicd, but the problem is that wicd do not work with vpn's , any idea? [05:12] ZykoticK9: I don't have a "sysrq" key. [05:12] tom_, check printscreen [05:12] mopi: i think if you go into private chat w/ ubottu you can ask and get its commands [05:12] tom_: try the prntscrn key [05:12] or prtsc === DeliriumTremens is now known as DeliriumNocturnu [05:13] seems to have worked, at least partially ;) [05:13] lol [05:13] hehe [05:14] hiexpo: at least I got a channel going [05:15] mopi: /msg ubottu ubottu [05:15] any body know howto fix the nm-applet? [05:15] copantl: in what way? [05:15] copantl, so the applet is not letting you vpn? [05:15] is there any way to remove packages with no installation candidate from apt's package lists? [05:15] kathe: nope the nm-applet do not work at all [05:16] It works [05:16] sudo invoke-rc.d network-manager restart [05:16] My oidentd is working !!! [05:16] i have to use wicd for connect to wireless [05:16] copantl: for wired or wireless [05:16] copantl, 10.04 [05:16] or rather I mean my ident daemon... [05:16] 10.04 amd64 [05:16] over a dell xps 1330 [05:17] copantl: ah.. there's benefits to wicd and NM.. I use wicd on the desktop because I can set a static ip and nm on laptop for vpn [05:17] i got alll my vpns with nm .... you can tell how difficult is for me this issue [05:18] For a friend I'm looking for a coldfusion ide for Ubuntu. Any recommendations? [05:19] How fast in mb's is 100KB/s ?? [05:19] .1 [05:19] when i tried to edit a network on nm the window get hang [05:20] copantl: and wicd doesn't do vpn [05:20] Izinucs: exactly [05:20] hi, im working with j2me using netbeans ide on karmic but lock and die when i run my aplication [05:20] what can i do? [05:21] copantl: is your wireless network secured? wep or wpa? [05:21] wpa [05:21] i can use terminal for vpn...but this is not a option for me === pavel989 is now known as pvl1 [05:22] copantl: if you want to try NM again then do so with wpa disabled.. no security.. if it connects then you know you have to work on the encryption side.. [05:22] its suppose to work right [05:22] ok Izinucs [05:22] copantl: not sure if it's accurate but I think NM will only do wpa2 [05:22] hi, im working with j2me using netbeans ide on karmic but lock and die when i run my aplication, what do i have to do? [05:23] how come 777 is not a valid octal umask [05:23] Izinucs: wep, wap and wap2 works ok in 9.10 [05:23] like a charm [05:24] r0zz: I wonder if #ubuntu-java would have some help??? [05:24] copantl: did you "upgrade" to 10.04 or fresh install? [05:24] Izinucs: fresh install [05:25] thanks, but i think they are too busy? anymore? [05:25] pvl1: says who? [05:25] copantl: strange.. I haven't tried encryption on my laptop yet so I haven't struggled with your issue.. but still that's strange. [05:25] r0zz: I went to that channel and it looks like there are a few people over there. Might be worth a try. [05:25] prince_jammys, pysdm. im trying to mount a drive with 777 permission, but it tells me that it isnt valid [05:26] copantl, what is your nic? [05:26] pvl1: you probably want 000 [05:26] you know the extrange part.... after about 30 ninutes the applet appear in my panel [05:26] pvl1: umask is the inverse of the mode you'd use in say, chmod. [05:26] prince_jammys, uh, alright ty. inverse? [05:26] glorious__: thanks im going to try again [05:27] but every time when i tried to edit a network or add a vpn get hang! [05:27] Two things: how do i make the HDMI audio work on my radeon, and how do i tell ubuntu/ati that i want the Right monitor to be "main display" so my desktop is on it? [05:27] copantl: typically NM and wicd don't coexist well.. you typically have to uninstall one or the other [05:27] pvl1: the opposite. 777 denies everything to everyone [05:27] they're "multi display" but the bars and stuff are on monitor 1, i want them on monitor 2 [05:27] prince, oh lol, now i feel like an idiot. but why dont chmod and this coincide? [05:27] pvl1: $ umask 777; >foo; ls -l foo; ... ---------- 1 mischa mischa 0 Jun 11 00:25 foo [05:27] pvl1: yeah, you don't want that :) [05:28] ok... the problem is if i unisntall wicd ..i cant get connect [05:28] prince_jammys, so is it that chmod is the opposite of it? im confused on y they dont work the same [05:28] copantl, have you tried removing the notification box and readding it [05:28] to the panel [05:28] pvl1: i don't know why [05:28] does anyone know of a proxy scanner that works on linux? [05:29] kathe: remove it from the panel? [05:29] prince_jammys, oh well, thank you for the help though [05:29] copantl: you could download the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com and have it available "just in case" .. when you uninstall it will not uninstall the dependancies I believe [05:29] pvl1: welcome. wikipedia perhaps talks about umask's history. [05:30] copantl, you said, the nm manager shows up after 30 minutes right [05:30] Izinucs: good idea [05:30] kathe: yes [05:30] kathe: i did that i remoit from the panel but nothing [05:30] prince_jammys, i was already on it, but i guess i need to read into it. one more quick bit, how do i find the gid of a group? [05:30] pvl1: probably because umask cannot enable any _new_ permissions that weren't already enabled. [05:31] kathe: what version do you have? [05:31] copantl, the nm manager usually is part of the notification grouping, along with power and sound... if you remove the notification area, and readd it see if it shows up right away [05:31] copantl, I run 9.10 and 10.04 on my boxes [05:31] hi i am looking for a simple dhcp-server for my wlanstick to set up a small "hotspot" [05:31] how would I repair my botched vb installation [05:31] prince_jammys, ooh so it can only kinda work to the max permissions allowed [05:31] pvl1: getent group | grep GroupName # the first 'group' is literal [05:31] kathe: not this problem in any one? [05:32] copantl, after an update on 9.04, and when i first installed 10.04, I had problems with the nm showing up, often it would be missing or show up as another icon [05:32] prince_jammys, thanks again [05:32] pvl1: welcome [05:32] copantl, when I removed the notification area, and readded it, the nm would show up suddenly [05:32] STF: there's ICS help [05:32] copantl, that's why i ask [05:32] !ics|STF [05:32] STF: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [05:33] transferring a file using scp from one machine to another on my lan is S L O W ... [05:33] kathe: ok, how do you remove it and readded?... from the panel [05:34] STF: this is what I did: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=218 [05:34] kathe: because i did it using properties from panel and nothing [05:34] hey guys, interesting wget thing i wanna do [05:35] copantl, there is a little spot if you right click on the panel it selects the notification section and choose remove from panel [05:35] prince_jammys, well i changed all the values to the correct values, and its mounting with the permissions i want, except in read-only mode, and fstab doesnt seem to say anything about read onyl for this drive [05:35] copantl, then right click on the panel, choose add to panel, and select the notification area out of the list [05:35] pvl1: what is the umask you used? [05:35] kathe: you complete right whe i delete it... the nm appear in my panel [05:35] prince_jammys, 000 [05:35] i'm trying to save a mirror of a website, but the images therein are stored on another server. how can i use wget (or maybe curl) to grab all those images? [05:36] pvl1: mm, i don't know. ask the channel, pasting the fstab line [05:36] i got GeForce 6200. i installed glx-180 and glx-185. when running nvidia-setting i am told i don't use nvidia X driver and advice me to install nvidia-xconfig but I can't find this package. advice? [05:36] prince_jammys, actually i think i found it, hold on a sec [05:36] kathe: i don't what happen but when i delete the icon from panel the nm appear and is working [05:37] wget's been running for about 5 minutes now, and it's pulled down close to 400 robots files, and only about 6 images. this is not what i want it to do [05:37] but all my notification of power and sound desappear [05:37] coplantl, it's a current bug [05:37] prince_jammys, yeah its doing ro, which is read only [05:37] hi guys, i have another issue with regards to ubuntu. its about mplayer. i am using 10.0.4 and i cannot run my rmvb files. i keep gettin a directshowsource could not open as vidoe or audio. i have tried this page already. http://ubuntuguide.net/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-in-ubuntu-10-04lucid [05:37] pvl1: it's nice when things make sense [05:37] coplantl, you need to readd the notification again [05:37] !ics [05:37] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [05:38] when i start ubuntu, i get an error that the nvidia driver could not be loaded and x is in low graphics mode. restarting X fixed the problem and i verified that nvidia is loaded with lsmod. is this a race condition? how can i solve it? [05:38] prince_jammys, i think its a bug in pysdm, it keeps rewriting it to ro [05:38] anyone? [05:38] pvl1: i have no idea what pysdm is :) [05:38] !pysdm [05:38] wow really? [05:38] hi guys, i have another issue with regards to ubuntu. its about mplayer. i am using 10.0.4 and i cannot run my rmvb files. i keep gettin a directshowsource could not open as vidoe or audio. i have tried this page already. http://ubuntuguide.net/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-in-ubuntu-10-04lucid [05:38] a desktop manager? [05:38] blue1: i would like to do it like you, but i've have the problem that i have the server '(it is an old Laptop) behind a router [05:39] prince_jammys, nay, its a gui for fstab written in python [05:39] pvl1: ah. [05:39] prince_jammys, for us lazy people. but sometimes u just gotta do it by hand to get it right === ericm is now known as ericm-afk [05:40] hello, i created a selections list, dpkg --get-selections > Installs [05:40] !clone [05:40] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [05:40] i replaced it with an existing sourcelist i created from another server. [05:40] kathe: yes i can tell that... get hang again [05:40] Zeu5, be sure you have restricted extras installed and then try "mplayer -vo x11 $filename" [05:40] :JKAHSDL:ASH [05:40] rtronk: see if the factoid i hit prematurely helps. [05:41] coplantl, that's what i thought, my wife actually found a proceedure on some forum that fixes this [05:41] coplantl, unfortunately, i don't know where and she's not here [05:41] kathe: uggh what shame [05:41] coplantl, but it has to do with resetting the defaults [05:41] coplantl, to gnome [05:42] coplantl, I suggest searching the forums for the perm solution [05:42] Zeu5, sorry re-read your error, looks more like a codec issue then video output [05:42] coplantl, until then, that's a work around [05:42] ZykoticK9: i am now installing restricted extras. [05:42] kathe: i thought that i have to compile from tar [05:42] Zeu5, restricted should work [05:42] ZykoticK9: erm. okie. i hope so too. [05:42] coplantl, no, it was something small, my wife just copied and pasted some commands in the terminal [05:43] well, #wget is dead. [05:43] kathe: those the guys of canonical knows about this issues? [05:43] anyone in here know wget fairly well? i'm trying to rip all the photos off a website, and my current method isn't working too well [05:43] ZykoticK9: it didnt work. same problem [05:43] crabgrass: have you looked at the mirroring examples at the bottom of wget's man page? [05:43] kathe: because this thing can take me to another distro [05:44] copantl, yep, she said there was a bug entry on it already, it has to do with the notification/gnome/nm conflict, working on a patch [05:44] hi guys, i have another issue with regards to ubuntu. its about mplayer. i am using 10.0.4 and i cannot run my rmvb files. i keep gettin a directshowsource could not open as vidoe or audio. i have tried this page already. http://ubuntuguide.net/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-in-ubuntu-10-04lucid [05:44] two questions again: How do i set which display is my primary (the one the desktop is on). and secondly, my blu ray drive completely DIES when ubuntu starts. won't eject, won't retract the tray, and i have to actually shut the computer off to get it to reboot (it hangs on SATA5 - the blu ray). [05:44] The error is ATA 3 softreset failed [05:45] Why does my computer shut down every time I try to burn a video DVD? [05:45] prince_jammys: yeah, and it did help some, but since the images themselves are hosted on another site, i have to run with -H to get them at all, and that's resulting in about 800 robots.txt files for each image. very innefficient. [05:45] kathe: ok thanks for all ... i will googling for the answer [05:45] Zeu5, i'm downloading a rmvb but it will be a few minutes [05:45] copantl, I stay away from the LTS releases of ubuntu, they usually place the most resent push everything to the max they are willing to, so they can support it for that extended release time, but it takes them 6 months to patch up... 9.10 is what I run on most, and it's solid [05:45] Xinerama isn't working properly either. should i file a bug? [05:45] copantl, np [05:46] kathe: you are complete right about versions.... i'm very coriuos thats kill me :) [05:46] genewitch: now that you ask, you'll never rest until you do [05:47] prince_jammys: could be. but it's not letting me use the entirety of my largest monitor. [05:47] i'd search for that bug first [05:47] ZykoticK9: thanks, i have to be away for 20 odd minutes. thank you if you can leave a message here for later. === Zeu5 is now known as Zeu5_ [05:48] How do I view what process a hidden PID is from command line? [05:48] steven89: Define "hidden?" [05:48] a hidden PID? [05:48] yeah [05:48] explain. [05:48] I ran unhide or whatever and it says it found a HIDDEN PID: 3301 [05:48] steven89: 'ps aux' as root should show anything running; if it's not there something's amiss. [05:49] Zeu5_, the 1st rmvb worked with mplayer [05:49] Why does the computer shut down when I try to burn a DVD-Video? [05:49] Thanks. I will try that === Zeu5_ is now known as Zeu5 [05:49] unhide? [05:49] Hey room. Anyone know how to switch the Radiance window controls to the right side of the decoration? [05:49] ZykoticK9: mine cannot. i am not sure what i need to do to get it to work? [05:49] !controls | corinth [05:49] corinth: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 [05:49] jack_: see if your logs reveal anything. this used to happen to me (overheat) [05:49] Zeu5, both of the files i download work [05:50] rww, !controls is my favorite bot message - it links to my site ;) [05:50] ZykoticK9: hehe :) [05:50] I am a complete noob. How do I check logs? === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux [05:50] Thanks a ton, rww. [05:51] ZykoticK9: so that means i downloaded a bogus file? [05:51] jack_: less /var/log/dmesg.0 , for example [05:52] Zeu5, ? the mplayer output in a terminal does give an error "ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec drv43260.dll" but it's working! [05:52] I fixed the firefox/wine problem by removing the msttcorefonts folder and rebuilding the font cache [05:53] jack_: gnome may come with a graphical log viewer, see the menus. [05:53] you'd be interested in dmesg's log [05:54] I ran 'ps aux' as root and it did now show the process for the PID. I later tried again and it only detected one as before but a different hidden PID. These hidden PIDs are not showing up with Sudo ps aux. What does this mean? The hidden PID number keeps changing. [05:54] Does anybody in here use Skype? [05:54] taiyal, if you are running firefox under wine - it's a really good idea. it can open many sites impossible under any 'linux' native browsers, it's also actually faster then native firefox. [05:54] my screen goes black at startup what can I do? [05:54] prince_jammys: I found the log file viewer. What do I look for that says my computer overheated? [05:54] Any way to make notifications be the old way? Like not somewhere in the middle but in top-right? [05:54] jack_: look for 'CPU' to begin with [05:55] jack_: specifically, look for the log entries at the time you shut down [05:55] theadmin, good luck! [05:55] ZykoticK9: ? [05:55] ZykoticK9: One of Canonical's weirdnesses which I still haven't managed to fix lol [05:55] theadmin, moving the notification window is very non-trivial. [05:55] how do i tell ubuntu what display is my primary display? (IE change 2 to 1 and vice versa) [05:56] theadmin, i've seen hacks to do it, but have never done it myself [05:56] taiyal, yeah [05:56] hi to all of you thanks to the idea of community i finally get Ubuntu 10.04 working on my computer. thank you so much... [05:57] anthony: glad to hear that :) [05:57] anthony: I had a problem trying to install 10.04 what kind of problem was you having? [05:57] prince_jammys: None of the log files have "cpu" in them. [05:57] anthony: but I was never able to fix the problem that is why I am asking [05:58] ZykoticK9: I really want it back where it is supposed to be :/ [05:58] mek8630: first i boot the live cd and press f6 tho disable the acpi=off and apic... [05:59] Canonical is hacking gnome like heck knows what [06:00] theadmin, those "hacking gnome" is what makes Ubuntu what it is! [06:00] anthony: why did you have to disable those? [06:00] ZykoticK9: Oh?... Hm... I'd rather have it without this hack anyway [06:00] hi [06:00] probably in a virtual machine [06:00] i'm confused [06:00] anthony: for some reason it quit in the middle of the installation on mine. After that it only wanted to run in command-line type [06:00] anyone know where to download the 64-bit version of flash? [06:00] theadmin, that's why i leave it the way it is ;) [06:00] Does anyone in here use skype or anything like it? [06:00] But at least Ubuntu works... Tried Fedora right now, kernel panic right after boot lol [06:01] it seems to have gone missing === linux is now known as timmia [06:01] mek8630 i do [06:01] << speaking in skype now [06:01] Hi, i upgraded to Lucid and I noticed temporary unresponsiveness when logging in (either at login screen or immediately after). It appears to be unresponsive while it connects to wireless networks. Any ideas? [06:01] kathe: do you use a handset phone ? [06:01] mek8630 no [06:01] goodmami, you called it right, the lag is on wireless networks [06:02] kathe: ok thanks anyways I use a handset phone that plugs into the usb and i can't figure out how to install the driver for it so I can use it instead of a microphone [06:02] !clone [06:02] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [06:02] kathe: is this a known problem? I couldn't find a bug on launchpad [06:02] goodmami, that and other physical drives [06:02] rtronk: glad you liked it [06:02] mek8630: i don't know why i need to disable them maybe because i need to boot the cd then i install Ubuntu 10.04. then it works [06:02] I've just noticed that I did not have Flash installed. I run Lucid 64-bit, but the 64-bit version of Flash seems to have gone missing. Anyone know where to download it from? [06:02] hi [06:02] doomami, here are the steps I've seen, go into bios, and make sure no unneeded hardware is enabled, such as a floppy drive that doesn't exist [06:03] umm [06:03] anthony: thank you I will try what you did and maybe I will get lucky [06:03] how do i tell ubuntu what display is my primary display? (IE change 2 to 1 and vice versa) [06:03] where is the power button on ubuntu 10.04? [06:03] is it possible to UN install all dpkg package's that arnt on a clone Installed <- file [06:03] goodmami, then after checking bios, remove extra wireless devices [06:03] Mirshe: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer [06:03] mek8630: ok your welcome.. [06:03] Aliv3: What? === root___ is now known as Ivunche [06:03] Aliv3: Top right corner. [06:03] theadmin: thanks [06:03] goodmami, is known bug under general hardware [06:03] ok thanks [06:03] sorry for stupid question. [06:03] chile? [06:03] !es > Ivunche [06:03] Ivunche, please see my private message [06:03] kathe: great, thanks for the help [06:04] Mirshe, if you want the 64bit version of flash from a PPA check out these directions, good luck http://www.sucka.net/2010/04/proper-install-of-flash-for-x64-ubuntu/ [06:04] prince_jammys: I found a log entry in syslog: "Critical temperature reached (102 C), shutting down." [06:04] theadmin: are you sure that's an i686 version? [06:04] jack_: there you go, overheating. [06:04] all the files are appended as i386 [06:04] Mirshe, theadmin's recommendation is 32bit flash with the click issue [06:04] jack_: perhaps your fan[s] is bad. [06:04] ahhh [06:04] ZykoticK9: Err, "click issue" [06:04] ? [06:04] Does anyone else in here use Skype and a handset usb phone to make/receive calls? [06:05] theadmin, flash on 64bit with the 32 wrapped flash version has an issue sometimes where clicking doesn't work - there is a fix [06:05] Or how do you manually install drivers for usb devices? [06:05] i have a problem i you will make Ubuntu 10.04 show all the ICON in the NOTIFICATION area because i don't see any icon.. pls help me [06:05] goodmami, np, seen a lot of that one lately, only thing is if bios is crap, somepeople get stuck [06:05] Mirshe, see my message above [06:06] prince_jammys: That might be the problem, but when I set my computer down, I set it on a towel (don't ask why). === shai_ is now known as shai [06:06] kathe: yeah, it's been bothering me for a while, but i could not find a bug report to subscribe to [06:06] now i have to ask why [06:06] thanks, ZykoticK9, working on that right now [06:06] kathe: i'll try your advice and hope it is fixed [06:07] Does anyone in here know how to manually install device drivers? [06:07] anthony: Is the Notification Area applet there? Reset your panels. [06:07] ubottu: resetpanels | anthony [06:07] anthony: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:07] some chilean? [06:07] prince_jammys: I set the computer on my desk chair which is very uncomfortable. This is why I put towels on it. [06:08] jack_: i really don't know what effect that might have :) [06:08] Ivunche: why? you want support in Spanish? [06:08] prince_jammys: I'm sorry. I didn't know if that might absorb heat or something. [06:09] jack_: time to experiment :) [06:09] alright it's late for me [06:09] you all have a good night [06:09] prince_jammys: what kind of computer are you talking about setting on towels? [06:09] kathe: night :) [06:09] not only wanted to speak Spanish [06:09] greenjon: 'tis not I. [06:10] nederland/englisH? [06:10] english [06:10] greenjon: that's I [06:10] i need some help! [06:10] theadmin: still the same i don't see any icon on the notification area. [06:10] prince_jammys: oh sorry. hard to keep up with some of my chats i have open lol [06:10] NL/ENG [06:10] !nl > DolleBertus [06:10] DolleBertus, please see my private message [06:10] !nl [06:10] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [06:10] jack_: what computer might that be?

[06:12] jack_: i see. what issue are you having? [06:12] overheating [06:12] greenjon: what he said [06:12] jack_: putting it on towels definitely won't help :P [06:13] maybe in an oven? [06:13] jack_: need to have it raised a bit. maybe try getting a stand for it [06:13] jack_: try leaving ample space for air to circulate [06:13] prince_jammys: exactly [06:13] prince_jammys: not a bad idea [06:14] well, you got acquainted with the world of logs [06:14] sadly [06:14] jack_: i've had that issue with 3 laptops i've owned and 2 netbooks. all of them i've either used a stand with (one i can put in my lap) or some fan made for them to put in my lap if not using both stand and fan together :D [06:15] i have a problem i can't shutdown my Ubuntu 10.04 but i can restart it can any one help me i don't know what to do. pls help me.... [06:16] i am going to try burning the dvd again, but this time i'm turning my fan on high and putting it on an open table [06:16] anthony: Do any of these commands work? "sudo shutdown -h now", "sudo poweroff", "sudo init 0" [06:16] if i get a chance i'll meet up later [06:16] hi [06:17] yes sudo shutdown -h works [06:17] i doubt you'll get to try the second one [06:17] as long as u follow it up with a time like 'now' [06:17] explodingzebras: That question wasn't directed to you [06:17] it does not shutdown my computer but it just make my computer log for a long time and does not shutdown [06:17] i'm trying to edit a dll file using ghex, now that i've found the proper offset, it won't let me edit the hexadecimal - anyone know why? [06:17] jack_: okay. try looking at walmart or somewhere for stands/fans sometime. well worth it and can save you having to buy a laptop ;) [06:18] anyways, bbiab [06:18] even tried running ghex as admin just in case [06:18] can mv recurse? [06:19] crabgrass: yes. [06:19] hi === greenjon is now known as greenjon|afk [06:19] anyone familiar with ghex? [06:19] crabgrass: by default, it does [06:19] ah. [06:19] crabgrass: when you mv a directory, you move it and all its contents. [06:19] i wish someone would wake up the deluge chat ppl.... [06:20] "I'm terribly sorry to awaken you, but we have explodingzebras..." [06:20] Gnea: lol [06:20] so `mv *.jpg test` would move all jpgs in any dir into test? [06:20] crabgrass: no [06:21] lol theres 60 ppl in #deluge [06:21] mr _r [06:21] crabgrass: No. It would move all jpegs from current dir into test [06:21] greenjon: i might have a stand in the basement somewhere, but I definitely won't buy another laptop just because this can't burn dvds [06:21] derp [06:21] mv -R [06:21] crabgrass: no [06:21] oh. [06:21] crabgrass: no, only the jpgs in the current directory. by default, it will only recurse when mv'ing *everything [06:21] oh bummer. [06:21] crabgrass: but... [06:21] crabgrass: find . -iname '*.jpg' -exec mv '{}' /path/to/directory/ \; [06:21] crabgrass: your question isn't so much about mv, but about globs (*.jpg), and *.jpg isn't recursive [06:21] ^^ that [06:21] I just updated to 10.04, and then installed the kubuntu-desktop package, but when GDM loads up, there is no "Sessions" dropdown for me to select KDE from. Do I have to enable this somewhere in 10.03? [06:22] s/10.03/10.04/ [06:22] crabgrass: This moves all jpegs from current dir to /path/to/directory/ [06:22] theadmin: thanks prince_jammys: yeah, there's still a bunch i need to learn [06:22] anyone know a good keyboard-to-piano program? [06:22] crabgrass: (including subfolders) [06:22] MikeChelen: a what program? [06:23] Gnea: You know, those musical keyboard thingies [06:23] good lord, that was fast [06:23] Gnea, piano midi player that uses computer keyboard [06:23] theadmin: that's a damned elegant solution dude, thank you very much [06:23] gonna save that one [06:24] MikeChelen: hrm, do you mean to control a music-keyboard that's connected to the computer via midi cable with the computer-keyboard? [06:24] crabgrass: GNU find is powerful [06:24] theadmin: yeah it is === bushy is now known as bushy_halp [06:25] hey [06:25] theadmin: off the top, do you know if 'locate' takes those arguements as well? [06:25] Have a good night! [06:25] greezmunkey: It doesn't [06:25] who knows about dual booting [06:25] i need help [06:25] MikeChelen: I just want to make sure so that we're not coming up with incorrect solutions :) [06:25] bushy_halp: What exactly with? [06:25] ive been working on it all day [06:25] I can boot only if use nomodeset in the grub otherwise black screen.. now it in 800x600 with noise on the botom.. [06:25] theadmin: the man page isn't too clean on -iname, can i do -iname '*.jpg,*.jpeg'?

[06:26] i need to use virtual box, [06:26] Gnea: but that's case-sensative... right? [06:26] and write to a partition [06:26] MikeChelen: alright... [06:26] so i need to take my 60 gb partition [06:26] prince_jammys: no doubt :) [06:26] crabgrass: indeed. but this can be worked around: -name "*.[Jj][Pp][Gg]" [06:26] crabgrass: -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' [06:26] crabgrass: Unsure. Maybe you could use something like this insaneness: for f in '*.jpg' '*.jpeg' ; do find -iname $f blah blah ; done [06:26] and make it a vdi file [06:27] so it can install it on that [06:27] Hello all. When trying to install ubuntu from alternate DVD on hard disk i get a "Debootstrap error.. Failed to determine the codename for release". This happens after i have successfully partitioned and intending to install.. What is the problem? [06:27] so i can then redo the config fine with my live cd. [06:27] heh LAMP server on Ubuntu ~= 15 min...M$ ~= 2.5 hours...

[06:28] crabgrass: yep [06:28] you need 'jpg OR jpeg' [06:28] right [06:28] Gnea, what would that be called? [06:29] crabgrass: GNU find supports fancy regex for that, but no need. [06:29] can someone help [06:29] just use -o [06:29] wait, from the manpage: "expr1 -o expr2 Or; expr2 is not evaluated if expr1 is true." that doesn't sound good. [06:29] me install windows from ubuntu [06:29] while ubuntu is loaded [06:29] prince_jammys: dude i'm deathly afraid of regexs [06:29] crabgrass: it means 'the test passed, no need to check the other test' [06:30] I just updated to 10.04, and then installed the kubuntu-desktop package, but when GDM loads up, there is no "Sessions" dropdown for me to select KDE from.

[06:31] prince_jammys: ah, okay. lemmie see how it works [06:31] i need to make a partition a vdi [06:31] crabgrass: that should work. you need to escape the ( ) the same way you escape ';', so the shell doesn't touch those args. [06:31] so that virtual box can install windows in [06:31] find . -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' -exec cp '{}' test/wut \; didn' [06:31] bushy_halp: I think people in #virtualbox can help somewhat [06:31] didn't work at all lol [06:31] is there a way to do a chmod 777 for an entire directory?

[07:28] Eugene89, try www.ss64.com [07:28] sick and tired of knowing bits and pieces without really knowing it [07:28] * ActionParsnip is a zombie [07:28] Eugene89: begin by reading a generalized guide, maybe from the internet, or debian sysadmin guide (installable through APT), or something like rutebook (also APT) [07:28] ActionParsnip: brain eater?? [07:28] !manual | Eugene89 check this [07:28] Eugene89 check this: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [07:28] Eugene89: Probably understanding the layout of linux's file structure -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [07:29] Greezmunky: just tired [07:29] Guys, I've got a question. I was wondering if it is possible to shutdown linux after for example 5 seconds? Important is that I want seconds delay, not minutes [07:29] prince_jammys: But what did you mean by "IRC limbo"? [07:29] SandGorgon: Do you have a Dell? [07:29] Andorin: i mean people in #debian will direct you to #ubuntu and vice-versa. you'll be in channel limbo. [07:29] xsist10: that really helps! thanks! [07:29] Dracco: shutdown -h +5 (check man shutdown for exact command but its like that) [07:30] prince_jammys: will read the debian sysadmin guide [07:30] +5 will shutdown in 5 minutes [07:30] Dracco: will require sudo too [07:30] I want seconds [07:30] Eugene89: get 'em all [07:30] Dracco: sleep 5; sudo shutdown -h now [07:30] all? [07:30] prince_jammys: D: [07:30] how to check current php version? [07:30] SandGorgon: The real solution is to remove the horribly broken software that's overwriting grub (likely "Dell DataSafe" but it could be something else) [07:31] and is it possible to break that 5 seconds? so i can stop shutting down? [07:31] Eugene89: the sysadmin thing, rutebook (so-so general book about linux), and some URLs others sent you. [07:31] Banker247: dpkg -l | grep php ,maybe [07:31] Dracco: sure, press ctrl+c [07:31] prince_jammys: I will. Thank you [07:31] and if im not in terminal? :P [07:31] welcome [07:31] Dracco: but if you are too late its going down [07:32] ubantards [07:32] if i need to downgrade from php 5.3 to php 5.2 whats the easiest way to do it without screwing anything up? [07:32] coz i wanted to put 5 seconds delay on powering off when i press power button [07:32] jungli: /j #ubantu [07:32] Dracco: not sure there mate, you could ssh in and kill the process maybe. Not sure [07:32] Running Ubuntu 8.04 Server LTS here [07:32] hi prince_jammys [07:32] hello [07:32] Dracco, maybe a setting in bios where time can be increased? [07:32] I can't seem to start up a Fedora 12 PV guest here [07:32] hi indus bhiaya [07:33] namaste [07:33] I'm getting this error every time I attempt to start up the guest: Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n') [07:33] hi does anyone know how to disable public key authentication on openssh-server? i want to use password login [07:33] indus: kaha the itne din ? [07:33] i wanted something more like command for shortcut [07:33] Dracco: This might work: shutdown -c [07:33] <_jesse_> Dracco: mine usually requites me to hold it in for so long, might be a BIOS setting as indus suggests [07:33] i installed java and i'm trying to connect to irc chat network from web but i got always this message "Sorry, but you need a Java 1.1.x enabled browser to use Beirut Chat." [07:33] jungli, how can we help you [07:33] but anyway thanks :) [07:33] jungli, that's not appropriate here [07:33] Fedora 12 for a fact does have a pv_ops kernel that's basically a domU [07:33] indus: sup [07:33] <_jesse_> Dracco: so when you shutdown from within ubuntu, not a hard shutdown? [07:33] xsist10, i want to break sleep5; shutdown [07:33] can somebody here explain what I should do to get Ubuntu to boot the FC12 PV Guest? [07:34] Charbel: if you websearch for java tester, does it show you running java ok? [07:34] _jesse_, i want to break 5 seconds delay powerdown, not hard power off :P [07:34] <_jesse_> Dracco: ah you confused me with the "when you press the power button" :P [07:34] anyway, ill need to work on a script maybe, simple commands wont work here [07:34] Robberhater: i'd ask in #fedora as the guest is the OS having the issue [07:34] Dracco: well if you put it in a bash script, you could potentially kill the scripts thread? [07:34] indus: how you doing [07:34] jungli, good thanks [07:34] ActionParsnip, how ? [07:34] <_jesse_> Dracco: doesn't ubuntu give you a 30s buffer anyway? [07:34] whats the best way to downgrade php 5.3 to php 5.2? [07:35] jungli, do you have a ubuntu support question? === robberhater is now known as fate_t_harlaown [07:35] xsist10, thats what ill do ;) [07:35] indus: pm [07:35] _jesse_, ubuntu gives only minutes delay, so minimum is 0 or 1 [07:35] banker247: Downgrading is not supported. However, you can compile 5.2 from source. [07:35] jungli, no random chats here, please ask a question if you have [07:35] hi does anyone know how to disable public key authentication on openssh-server? i want to use password login [07:35] Charbel: use a websearch engine and find: java tester ,the top few links will be able to tell you if your java is working ok [07:35] <_jesse_> Dracco: I mean when I click the power symbol and click "shutdown" it gives me an optino to abort [07:36] ok ActionParsnip thx [07:36] trupheenix: look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (I think its that file). [07:36] _jesse_, yes, but my xubuntu doesnt even show popup msg with options shutdown, restart, logout etc when i press power button >.< [07:36] how do i add a user, /usr/sbin/useradd with a home directory /home/username and a password? [07:36] <_jesse_> Dracco: ah 'xubuntu', sorry, I didn't know what distro you were running [07:36] ActionParsnip, yea i am looking at it but i can't understand which option should i disable. nothing conclusive online either. [07:36] (command line) [07:36] !useradd [07:36] anybody running a raid array off an ICH9R based board ? [07:37] hi. i am on lucid. how do i read my cpu info ... temperature, freq and voltage? [07:37] rtronk: use 'adduser' [07:37] _jesse_, ill just work on a script then :) [07:37] thanks all for help, gotta run, cya and have a nice day ;) [07:37] Dracco: sleep 5s && shutdown might be breakable [07:37] rtronk: see the man page. the usage is fairly simple, as simple as 'sudo adduser somedude' [07:37] bazhang: sup [07:37] thune3, but not with simple console command ;) [07:37] cya all :P [07:37] Hello.

Did you see the link I posted? I've talked to you before ... [07:39] !sensors [07:39] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. [07:40] i have installed lm_sensors ... i now want to read the temp and voltage [07:40] lm sensors can be very inaccurate because the mobo sensors are crap mostly [07:40] trupheenix: just trying to get a guide [07:40] ActionParsnip, me too [07:40] uo3273-fvarklb: Sorry I am freakin' tired now and can't really help on serious problems :D === linux is now known as xXx [07:40] sed s/lucid/karmic/g /etc/apt/sources.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic.list [07:40] oops [07:40] theadmin: That's OK - I understand. === xXx is now known as Guest80862 [07:41] banker247: That's a weird thing to do [07:41] http://www.nickveenhof.be/blog/reverting-or-downgrading-php-53-52-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-1004 [07:41] Can anyone else help me understand this better?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9170734 [07:41] x_, anyways, once you install lm-sensors, type sensord in terminal and answer yes / no [07:41] trupheenix: http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication-p2 [07:41] x_, then restart and type 'sensors' and it will give output [07:41] ok sensors tells me core0 and core1 temp ... lol but i am on a single core machine? [07:41] x_, but it all depends on mobo sensor which is wrong quite a few times [07:42] trupheenix: commaent out the lines it mentions then run the reload command. You should now be asked for password [07:42] Hello all, I bought a blank terrabyte hard drive and a casing to use as an external drive. I formatted it and put in a file system--but I do not have write ownership permissions to make folders and back stuff up. What should I do? [07:42] Is anyone knowledgeable about KlamAV - and the bugs/errors it has had? [07:42] khider: What filesystems? [07:42] is there an apt-find program?

[07:43] KB1JWQ: It says the device is busy [07:43] banker247: It'd replace all Lucid sources with Karmic and put it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic, no? [07:43] i guess [07:43] x_, it reports temp of each core so core 0, core 1 , core 2 etc , [07:43] its for downgrading [07:43] khider: Okay, forcibly unmount it, and mount it read write. [07:43] theadmin: I know, thanks, but that doesn't answer my question [07:43] x_, dont rely on it too much man, its junk [07:43] ty indus ... now to find out the voltage my cpu is runnning at [07:44] x_, check bios for voltages [07:44] genewitch: It does what you described, finds packages in apt [07:44] KB1JWQ: Dolphin always pops up and identifies it and says it is already mounted [07:44] x_, its better [07:44] x_, lm-sensors give too many wrong outputs [07:44] When I ran a scan on KlamAV - it brought up all these Encrypted.ZIP files in my /usr/lib directory.

[07:44] yah .. i am trying to get cpu scaling to work ... it works on tthe freq ... but i want to check my undervolt success [07:44] KB1JWQ: Maybe I did not format it correctly [07:44] banker247: It won't downgrade like that, APT preffers higher versions to older ones [07:44] x_, ah i too have undervolted my x3 [07:44] banker247: You'll just end up breakin it [07:44] trupheenix: could try: sudo apt-get --purge remove openssh-server; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install openssh-server ,see if that gives you vanilla settings [07:44] any way to use lm-sensors to report voltage? [07:45] x_, yes it reports all things [07:45] !downgrade | banker247 [07:45] x_, just install and run the steps i said [07:45] banker247: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [07:45] ActionParsnip, I am on Amazon EC2 :( can't remove ssh server. then i won't be able to access.

I am using partition manager and so far I have permission to do nothing === Tina is now known as Kasjopaja [07:47] Eugene89: the bash guide in it kinda sucks. for that, see the guide in the #bash irc channel topic. [07:47] banker247: I forgot how to specify the version :/ [07:48] indus, i am on lucid ... i installed lm-sensors from the repo .. i dont think it installed sensord [07:48] Partition manager identifies it, but I cannot do anything to the drive [07:48] btw, anybody knows why when i copy a file to a ftp server using ncftp, the filename changes to a short version like M9THL5~Y.GZ? [07:48] i have sensors ... and sensors-detect [07:49] Eugene89: sounds like it's trying to make it DOS safe (8 char files names). Maybe a configuration issue? [07:49] khider: gksudo gparted ,should do it. You can also use: sudo fdisk /dev/disknamehere and make the partiton there (replace disknamehere with the disks actual name. sudo fdisk -l ,will show the names of your disks) [07:49] ActionParsnip: Yeah, i have been using the OS pretty much, got 2 redhat servers running as webservers for some sql databases. Managed to setup simple backup cron, raid and stuff, but I feel that I'm walking around blind lol [07:50] ActionParsnip: What file system should I use? BSD? DOS? I don't get many options... [07:50] Khider: is the device going to be used in windows systems? [07:50] KB1JWQ: OK - here is an example: /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/libpackage2.so (name of file), Encrypted.ZIP (name of the problem) [07:50] Hey all. I installed kubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu-desktop. Changed the startup image.. changed the cursor.. can't change it back. Any idea? [07:50] Hello. I am now building (S)FTP-server with RAID5. How to get those FTP-login-files into RAID-state? [07:50] ActionParsnip: No, I just want to use it as a drive to back up files [07:51] Jordan_U, I think ur suggestion about Dell Datasafe worked. let me try it a couple more times just to be sure though. [07:51] ActionParsnip: But there is a drop file that gives me a very limited range of choices [07:51] uo3273-fvarklb: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/88546 post by Cameron W says that there is an option to mark encrypted zip files as viruses. Search http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/man/clamscan.1.in for encrypted to see option [i'm not excactly sure where you set this option] [07:51] root@banker247:~# apt-get install php5=5.2.1 [07:51] sais the version wasn't found [07:51] xsist10: thanks. but one of the files copy over as fs-i-11-06-2010-14h01m01s.tar.gz, the rest uses weird filenames. i'm using a python scriptas a cronjob to backup my sql databases on a regular basis [07:51] ActionParsnip, test results >>> JavaScript IS WORKING in your web browser | Your web browser supports JavaScript version 1.8 | Your web browser is Firefox version 3.6.3 [07:51] ok i ran sensors-detect and it found many sensors ... but i cannot see any voltage reading in my 'sensors' o/p [07:52] Also, what package was in 9.10 that isn't here anymore that allowed right click Encrypt/Decrypt of files? [07:52] Charbel: cool [07:52] hi guys, is there anyway i can benchmark my disk through the terminal? Just two figures i Need, random writes and read [07:52] For a back up drive, should I use extended or primary, and what file system, ext 2, 3, or 4? [07:52] Khider: this shows how to setup a disk in commandline. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?chap=4&part=1 [07:53] * gtoy waits for maverick... [07:53] indus, any ideas on cpu voltage ? [07:53] Khider: you will use 1 big primary partition [07:53] ActionParsnip, ok but i still can't open irc chat from firefox [07:54] Khider: use ext3 or ext4. Ext2 isn't really suitable [07:54] x_, no , once you run the sensorsd command, restart system after you answered all questions [07:54] x_, then type 'sensors' in terminal and it will list all things [07:54] Charbel: not sure there dude. Maybe it'll work now after you tested it (worth a try) [07:54] ok ty [07:55] khider: I don't know why people are assuming that "Device is busy" means that you didn't format your hard drive correctly. To me, that seems very unlikely to be the cause. [07:55] ok thx for help ActionParsnip [07:55] 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. Not sure why apt-get isn't seeing the 0.6.29 version. [07:55] anyone know how to easily downgrade from php 5.3 to 5.2 without breaking anything [07:56] thune3: OK. Are you sure they aren't real viruses? What is an encrypted ZIP file typical for (i.e. what is it's purpose)? [07:56] khider: Where is your external hard drive mounted? [07:56] ActionParsnip: How do i get read and write permissions once the thing is formatted? [07:56] hey me n my buddy have same problem in ubuntu our alsa isnt loading module or something i have a speaker with 2 lines next to it volume is all the way up and is on speakers aswell [07:56] Appl6: /dev/sdg [07:56] Khider: that's determined when you mount it. [07:57] Im0: Thats likely in -proposed, the newest version in the repos is 0.6.28 currently [07:57] ActionParsnip: Yeah, but when i mount it, it usually gives me permission to read and that is it [07:57] Khider: usually the gnome automount thing sorts it ok but you may have to manually mount it. Cross that bridge when the time comes [07:57] thune3: Did you see my reply? [07:57] khider: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "mount -l" please? [07:58] hey me n my buddy have same problem in ubuntu our alsa isnt loading module or something i have a speaker with 2 lines next to it volume is all the way up and is on speakers aswell..... any one? [07:58] i am on 10 [07:58] Flannel: Thanks. I'm a bit confused about it being in: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnokii/ [07:58] uo3273-fvarklb: Must be a signature mismatch. [07:59] flip_: if you run: sudo lshw -C sound ,websearch for the product line for guides [07:59] KB1JWQ: ??? What is that? And how did you come to this conclusion? [08:00] uo3273-fvarklb: it is just a section that clam knows that it can't read. it is an encrypted collection of stuff. the option is for Clam to warn you, since it can't tell you if it is a problem or not. it is unlikely a problem. [08:00] Appl6: http://pastebin.ca/1880969 [08:01] Im0: Ah, actually, it looks like that's the Maverick version. It may also be in lucid-proposed, I haven't checked yet [08:01] khider: Did you partition your external hard drive in Ubuntu? Have you rebooted since you partitioned it? [08:01] thune3: OK - that is believable. Why is it unlikely a problem. How much do you know about library and Encrypted.ZIP files? Are library files supposed to be encrypted like that? [08:02] uo3273-fvarklb: They're socket files, they're not encrypted. [08:02] Im0: Yeah, that's Maverick, not -proposed [08:02] Er, library files. Sorry, not socket files. [08:03] Appl6: I used Kubuntu [08:03] KB1JWQ: OK. And what are socket files? [08:03] khider: That's fine. Are you on Kubuntu now, and have you rebooted since you partitioned it? [08:03] whats the file system in ubuntu? ext4? [08:03] Flannel: I'm a bit confused now. I thought that URL would have been for the current version (ie. 10.4). Is there an easy way to ask apt to try and install that version? [08:04] Appl6: And yeah, I unmounted and remounted the thing and I have zilch permissions except read [08:04] Alley^Away: You can pick which one you want, but yes, it's usually ext3 or ext4. [08:04] khider: I'm not talking about unmount or remount. I'm talking about rebooting your computer. [08:04] has anybody installed a clean Ubuntu system and used LVM ? could anyone point me to a guide [08:04] Appl6: No, I am sorry but why should I? I do not understand. [08:05] Appl6: But i did not reboot [08:05] Khider: try: sudo mkdir /media/backup; sudo mount /dev/partition /media/backup -o rw,user ,should be ok [08:05] ok thx - yeah I know that you can pick, I remember upgrading to the latest when I installed... just trying to install stuff under win to be able to see the files, but ran into problems [08:05] ActionParsnip: Whoa...cool [08:05] Khider: replace partition with the partition name. Like sdb1 or whatever [08:05] !mount | khider [08:05] khider: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [08:06] ext4 would explain it, the tool I'm using only supports ext2/3 [08:06] thx [08:06] khider: mount is very worth learning how to use it [08:07] Im0: No, that folder has all the versions in the repos for all of the versions of Ubuntu. As for installing it, offically no. There's no easy way. Unofficially, take a look at the dependencies and versions and they may be already satisfied on Lucid [08:07] ActionParsnip: Yeah, my Linux kung fu is weak since returning to Ubuntu. Before I used Slackware and Gentoo--but i am too dumb to run the latter on my new puter [08:07] uo3273-fvarklb: you could run "debsums -a openoffice.org-core | grep libpackage" and it should say OK for your file, which means that it matches the installed version of the file. (unless the digest was hacked, very unlikely) [08:07] And too lazy to run Slackware [08:07] Khider: the handbook for gentoo is dead handy for nongentoo stuffs :) [08:07] hey theadmin you still there? [08:07] Hi all, my GSM modem is working fine, however when unplugged without disconnecting can't plug it in straight away (need restart) . does any one what module should I reload or any other manipulation to get it work without restarting , thanks [08:08] banker247: Sorta [08:08] what do you think of this script?.. [08:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459163 [08:08] ActionParsnip: Looks like you missed the "Disk /dev/sdg doesn't contain a valid partition table" line from fdisk. You really should read the pastebins instead of giving people wrong advice. [08:08] ActionParsnip: No way, I spent days trying to install Gentoo on a 64 g solid state drive and then my terabyte for /home--I gave up. With Ubuntu, I got a nice GUI to do it all for me during install [08:08] thune3: OK - so this command will verify if system files are original or not, apparently? [08:09] Khider: sure but gentoo is much leaner and slicker [08:09] Flannel: That makes sense now, thanks. I'll try and work out the dependencies as you suggest. Thanks. [08:09] ActionParsnip: I LOVE Gentoo, I just wish I was smart enough to install it on two discs. Fstab screwed me up [08:10] thune3: How do you enter the bar symbol? [08:10] Khider: yeah fstab can be fun [08:10] banker247: Looks fine, but remove the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic.list file it creates after this... then you'll also have to somehow pin the package so it won't try to upgrade to 5.3 again [08:10] I'm in some deep trouble trying to use timidity in rosegarden: no sound, what can be wrong? [08:11] uo3273-fvarklb: it checks the package digests of installed packages and tells you if anything changed. "debsums -ac" will check everything that has a digest. (files do get changed when configured, so you will see stuff that is np) [08:11] ActionParsnip: I am thinking about installing Slackware if the install GUI is friendly enough for two drives [08:11] ok.. anyone able to help me out with a really confusing issue? I finally just got the cisco VPN client to compile on 10.04, however for some reason, despite there being a symlink in /usr/local/bin that is pointing to the correct location /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient [08:11] typing vpnclient runs nothing? [08:11] ActionParsnip: But c'mon--Ubuntu has drives for EVERYTHING [08:11] Khider: if the backup device has no partitions then use fdisk to make them as the gentoo book says. You should be able to use gparted [08:11] just reports "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient" so such file or directory [08:11] hi is it possible to install windows XP through wine? lol [08:12] uo3273-fvarklb: bar is shift-\ [08:12] bricky: Not trough WINE, but you can use VirtualBox [08:12] Khider: you can emerge an equal amount of drivers in gentoo [08:12] bricky: no but it's possible to install it through virtualbox [08:12] doesn't this sound easier? [08:12] http://dustyreagan.com/downgrade-php-5-3-to-5-2/ [08:12] theadmin: ahh ty I will have to use vb [08:12] Khider: you can emerge an equal amount of drivers in gentoo [08:12] Smeh: What does "which vpnclient" show? [08:13] it reports "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient" [08:13] Smeh: And "file /usr/local/bin/vpnclient"? [08:13] khider: Yeah, if you set the dependencies(make sure they are not broken) get the use flags going---and after you do a uDNa World and things go to hell.. [08:13] but I love it [08:14] "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient: symbolic link to '/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient' [08:14] Flannel: Thanks for the suggestion. I added maverick to source.list and apt-get install... it appears to have installed happily without other dependencies. Thanks again. [08:14] Im0: i'd remove the repo now or you'll get a big mess [08:14] Smeh: And "file /opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient"? [08:15] uo3273-fvarklb: Google is your friend. [08:15] "executable, regular file, no read permission [08:15] i guess that last bit might be a problem? [08:16] sounds like a good guess [08:16] ActionParsnip: Done, thanks. I first tried "apt-get upgrade package" and it wanted to update everything, so, noticed the potential mess it might have caused. :) Thanks for the message though. === Bersam1 is now known as Bersam [08:18] thune3: OK - when I ran "debsums -a openoffice.org-core|grep libpackage", it came back with "/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/libpackage2.so - with libpackage highlighted in red. Does this mean that nothing has changed and the file is original? [08:18] ok [08:18] after 777'ing the vpnclient executable [08:18] i still get nothing typing "vpnclient" but file reports : [08:19] uo3273-fvarklb: The "highlighted in red" part is from grep; it's telling you what part of the input it matched. [08:19] ELF 32-bit executableversion 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs) etc etc.. [08:20] Appl6: OK. But this result ultimately means then that "libpackage2.so" is the original file, nothing has changed, and it's not a virus? [08:20] Hello [08:20] uo3273-fvarklb: I'm not familiar with debsums, or the procedure that thune3 was describing. I was just helping out with the bit I did know. [08:21] I have reinstalled apache2, and now he can't find phpmyadmin anymore in http://localhost/php... [08:21] uo3273-fvarklb: it had a "-" and not "OK" ? [08:21] thune3: But this result ultimately means then that "libpackage2.so" is the original file, nothing has changed, and it's not a virus? [08:22] Hello again [08:22] Smeh: Can you paste exactly what you get as output from "vpnclient", and then from "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient", and then from "/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient"? [08:22] thune3: No. I was just using the quotation marks to distinguish to you what it actually stated. The quotation marks were not a part of the result. And I did get OK stated way off to the right ... [08:22] Smeh: And paste "echo $PATH" while you're at it. [08:22] I am still facing problem with my blue tooth connection [08:23] can some one help me im having major sound issues and i've been told i have a drive module installed its just showing up via vnc would be a big help [08:24] uo3273-fvarklb: it means it is identical to what it was when you installed, so no virus. [08:24] When I search for bluetooth device it detect my system but whem I enter PIN it says Unable to Pair [08:24] Appl6 : sure, 2 sec.. this is a seperate machine to the linux box so might take a moment [08:24] and doesn't pops for pin on my system [08:24] Smeh: Of course, take your time. [08:25] ok, first "vpnclient" - bash: /usr/local/bin/vpnclient: No such file or directory [08:25] ActionParsnip, i found what was the problem i didn't restart firefox when i finished installing lol [08:26] "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient" reports exactly the same [08:26] and "/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient" also reports exactly the same thing [08:27] thune3: that's good news. And I do see in KlamAV (Events -- Options) where you can select that option to mark encrypted files as suspicious. I'm running "debsums -ac" now just to make sure ... [08:27] thune3: thanks so much for all your help. It's nice to talk to someone who can actually solve my problem and/or put me at ease ... [08:27] "echo $PATH" - /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [08:27] uo3273-fvarklb: run it as root (sudo) to avoid random fails [08:27] theadmin: what are you upto [08:28] Smeh: Even "/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient" says "bash: /usr/local/bin/vpnclient: No such file or directory" ? [08:28] yep. [08:28] if it helps, permissions on the files under the /opt directory [08:28] are all uhm.. [08:28] ---x--x--x [08:28] Smeh: Ha. Can you pastebin the output of "alias", please? [08:28] but they're there, report a size, etc === jacky is now known as Jac_roy521510 [08:29] uo3273-fvarklb: also you can use "apt-file search " to tell you what package the file belongs to, and then check it with debsums as before. [08:29] thune3: OK. So in terminal, I would just enter "sudo klamav" ??? Or what is the specific command, I guess? [08:29] uo3273-fvarklb: i meant run debsums -ac with sudo [08:30] uo3273-fvarklb: run clam as you usually do [08:30] Appl6: http://www.pastebin.com/NHXjQddS [08:30] Smeh: And the last thing I might try is to actually copy vpnclient from /opt to /usr/local/bin, not just symlink it. And see if that helps. [08:30] ok, i'll give that a whirl while you check that pastebin i guess :) [08:30] Smeh: Just did, nothing special. [08:31] "riptide firmware not available -2" is the message i get [08:31] yeah.. just copied the binary to /usr/local/bin [08:31] and riptide is my sound card [08:31] no difference [08:31] help pls [08:32] if it helps i'm on 10.04 64 LTS alternate [08:32] Smeh: That's really, really strange. Let me think. [08:32] it does seem a bit strange [08:33] Actionparsnip is gone? [08:33] definitely never come across a similar issue myself in my time fiddling with linux anyway [08:33] thune3: when it says "debsums: no md5sums for [package name]", what does that mean? what is md5sum? [08:34] * red2kic pours out a whiskey for his homey, ActionParsnip. [08:34] !md5sum | uo3273-fvarklb [08:34] uo3273-fvarklb: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:34] I am trying to get write permissions on my new external drive,but have no luck [08:34] khider: Have you rebooted yet? [08:34] ActionParsnip said to do sudo mkdir /media/backup; sudo mount /dev/sdg /media/backup -o rw,user [08:35] khider: sudo chown $USER:$USER /the/path/to/new/external/drive [08:35] Appl6: i've got to scoot, hometime here and there is beer to be bought and such. Thanks for your help. I'll most likely be around on tuesday asking the same questions ;) [08:35] khider: You might want to do recursively, I suppose. Append -R (ie sudo chown -R ...the rest) [08:35] Smeh: Ha, OK, good luck with that. [08:35] and I got mount: /dev/sdg already mounted or /media/backup busy [08:36] khider: Please just reboot. If it doesn't help you can ignore me from then on. [08:36] no wait [08:36] khider: try sudo umount -a [08:36] and then try to mount it again [08:36] hey guys, [08:37] using crontab -e to add a cronjob, i realised that the job isn't running when i'm pretty sure the script is running properly [08:37] uo3273-fvarklb: it just mean that package wasn't installed with a manifest with digests. debsums can only check packages with digests [08:37] i also noticed that crontab -e edits a file under /tmp/cronetcetcetcetc.. [08:37] Galerien: No dice, tried that. I will obey Appl6 [08:37] is there something wrong with the way i'm using crontab? [08:37] thune3: can you explain "manifest with digests" - in a way I can understand? [08:38] Eugene89: No, that's correct. Do you have a carriage return at the end of your file? [08:38] what's a carriage return? [08:38] thune3: I'm just curious - I want to learn this stuff. So thanks for explaining [08:38] Eugene89: Is there a blank line at the end of the file? [08:38] I added kubuntu-beta ppa, and now I want to remove it. But it doesn't seem to downgrade back to normal "kubuntu-desktop" packages with sudo apt-get (dist-)upgrade. What do I need to do in order to revert properly? [08:38] Eugene89, hitting enter on your KB [08:39] Fannel: are we talking about the crontab or the script? [08:39] Eugene89: The crontab file [08:39] I typed 5 0 * * * /var/backup/backup.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 [08:40] under that line is a ~ === Pyrokinetics is now known as Kine [08:40] does that mean there's no carriage return? [08:40] Eugene89: Right. You need to add a blank line at the end of that file. [08:40] How do I launch ClamAV? [08:40] I can't believe it! [08:40] That's all it needs? [08:40] Eugene89: \n - carraige return (CR) and \r - line feed (LF) [08:40] Eugene89: Yeah, go to the end and hit return a few times. crontab needs returns at the ends of the lines to run those lines. yep [08:40] Eugene89, the term carriage return refers to the old days of type writers. The return key, caused the type head carriage to return to the left side of the keyboard and roll the paper to a new line. [08:41] OIC [08:41] xsist10: Other way around. [08:41] erm complete lie [08:41] yeah [08:41] :P [08:41] Flannel:let me try that out [08:41] thune3: what is a "digest"? [08:41] 8 years of programming and I get that mixed up [08:41] is it ok to swear in here? [08:41] Eugene89: Nope, sorry. [08:41] Eugene89, I wouldn't [08:42] although feel free to msg me your profanity ;-) [08:42] Appl6, trollboy: Ok thanks. I was just going to swear about being zapped by static from my macbook pro [08:42] uo3273-fvarklb: most packages install a mainifest (.list file) and a digest file (.md5sums) in /var/lib/dpkg/info You should google md5sum to understand what it does. debsums checks all the packages .md5sums file and compares the installed file to that. [08:42] #($%&% [08:42] And how do I check a file like /usr/lib/libclamav.so.6.05 to make sure it's original? "debsums", then what? [08:43] My arschloch toshiba laptop does the same thing to me [08:43] thune3: And so running .md5sums actually gives you a better idea of whether or not your installed files are in their original state? [08:43] trollboy: No swearing in German either. [08:44] uo3273-fvarklb: apt-file search uo3273-fvarklb and then debsums -a [08:44] uo3273-fvarklb: apt-file search /usr/lib/libclamav.so.6.05 [08:44] Curses Jordan_U [08:45] oh my. I almost deleted cron.daily [08:45] Good day all , after booting ubuntu 10.04 free cd and selecting install choice , ubuntu goes to boot and proceed but it shows a black blank page before complete boot up , what's problem ??? [08:45] have kubuntu 10.04 with KDE: 4.4.2. If i hit ALT+F2 and Type in yakuake or something else, it takes a long timeout after "yaku" till the next chars appear on the textfield... and till this, the textfield is freezed. [08:45] restoring from recycle bin is all it needs right? [08:45] any idea what the problem? [08:45] what is this? [08:45] depends how you deleted it Eugene89 [08:45] i pressed delete [08:46] then its probably in the bin [08:46] yeah i restored it from the bin already [08:46] no need for permission stuff right? [08:46] thune3: Oh I see. And essentially then, debsums check the current file on the computer, while md5sums checks the system files and compares from the other end (which seems better, actually), right?

[08:47] Eugene89: You use sudo [08:47] !sudo | Eugene89 [08:47] Eugene89: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) .

The pen run ok, but the buttons and the ruooler don't run [08:47] I've got a graphire 4 [08:47] Flannel: Thanks. [08:48] uo3273-fvarklb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum md5 is a "fingerprint" of a file. debsums checks the fingerprints against the file to see if they match. Both are on your local machine. [08:48] have kubuntu 10.04 with KDE: 4.4.2. If i hit ALT+F2 and Type in yakuake or something else, it takes a long timeout after "yaku" till the next chars appear on the textfield... and till this, the textfield is freezed. [08:49] another thing is: I realise that I have to be logged in in order to use VNC to remotely control my linux server. Is there anything I can do about it such that I do not have to be logged in to remotely control my linux server? [08:49] hi === mitch is now known as Guest5133 [08:49] Logged into what?

[08:52] uo3273-fvarklb: when you run md5sum it generates a "fingerprint" of a file. So debsums runs md5sum on all the files to generate their fingerprints, and then checks it against the fingerprint stored in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/.md5sums file. I really can't explain it further. [08:52] Ok thank you [08:52] Hm.. I'm actually kind of curious about that now... [08:53] That works fine for me, have you checked the automaticly accept connections? [08:53] I googled and stuff, spent quite abit of time on it [08:53] Have you tried switching users and see what it did?

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 fully updated, etc. I came into work, plugged it into wired network and grab a dhcp lease.. i just can't get out onto the net. If i use wireless its fine. I have plugged in another windows computer which grabs a lease and gets out onto the net fine, however this ubuntu laptop won't. No errors in logs, the link is up, just can't send/recv any data - other people on the same network ca [08:56] Kine: :) [08:56] Any help regarding my issue guys? [08:57] I have 3 users all in the same group, called friends. I would like two of those users to be able to modify and edit the third users home directory, im not sure how to do this though. I thought adding the users to the shared users group would work, but nothing. [08:59] BlackCow: most likely the permissions on the shared directory. you'll want it to be owned by the 'friends' group, and group-writable [08:59] zoidberg-: Have you looked at /etc/resolv.conf? [08:59] zoidberg-: can you ping a known ip address? 8.8.8.8 ? [08:59] zoidberg-: it should have the nameservers ip addresses in it [09:00] mechdave, hi [09:00] G'day indus [09:00] ah, so you treat the entire group as a user then? [09:01] BlackCow, pretty much [09:01] thune3: No - you've explained it pretty well. Thanks! [09:01] uo3273-fvarklb: np [09:02] shauno: so I tried, "chown -R friends /home/ftpuser/" but it says thats an invalid user [09:02] thune3: Do you know how to install Contents-i386.gz? I need it in order to update apt-file, which I had to install ... [09:02] Anyone? How do I launch ClamAV? [09:03] BlackCow: try ftpuser:friends rather than just friends [09:03] BlackCow: each file is owned by a user & a group. by default, each user has a group with the same name. so it'd be ftpuser:ftpuser by default [09:03] hi. since one of the latest updates, LAN is not detected on several of our machines any more. knetworkmanager says "network management disabled". I have to do a "sudo dhclient eth0" to get it working again. any hints what causes this?

[09:11] both host and guest are lucid x64 [09:11] BlackCow: haven't seen setfacl before, but it sounds very similar to chmod. going to have to look into that one [09:11] indus, but I still dont have the option to add upgrade manager [09:11] zcfr, in edit menus, go to administration > add new and type update-manager to command entry filed [09:11] zcfr, field [09:11] i just added [09:12] zcfr, understand? [09:12] shauno: ah sorry, it was kurt__ who recommended setfacl [09:12] zcfr, should work, you will also notice that on typing correct command , the icon als o changes [09:12] indus, yes [09:12] mcl0vin: hmm, upgrade by normal means? [09:13] mcl0vin: update manager, etc. you have 10.04 ? [09:13] shauno, blackcow: setfacl differs from chmod. chmod only knows about the 3 types: user, group and others. setfacl allows complete Acces Control Lists for any number of users or groups [09:13] zcfr, success? [09:14] shauno, kurt__: ok well I changed the group to friends, chmod 775 and g+w, but it still doesn't work. What else am I missing? [09:14] Is there a known bug introduced by recent samba updates? Yesterday I was quite happily able to explore the entire Windows network; but I am running in a VM. Windows decreed that I shall reboot, and since I restarted the VM I get DBus timeout errors on most network drives [09:14] zcfr, just to make sure there is not a problem with update manager, just typing 'update-manager' in terminal will open it [09:14] vega: 9.10 [09:14] Hhow do I launch clamav? I installed it in software center, but don't see it in any menus, neither a 'clamav' command in terminal. [09:14] I have found the issue on google but with no solution. [09:14] I'm running 10.04 [09:15] zcfr, hello? [09:15] Altreus: try opening an smb://ip/ link [09:15] zcfr, anyways i have to go lunch now , good day [09:15] indus, update manage was not installed I am installing it now [09:16] Gryllida: I honestly have no idea how to find the IP address [09:16] Altreus: get ip of the other machine in start run cmd ipconfig [09:16] Gryllida: Check System Tools for Virus SCanner [09:16] zcfr, hehe there is the problem [09:16] zcfr, accidentally got removed probably [09:16] Gryllida: You just reminded me I do know the IP [09:16] Hi can someone help me find some repo keys I need? [09:16] I have a simple tv tuner and want to watch and cap tv shows from my cable analog source [09:16] indus, yes but I have no idea why it would not be installed with a completely new installation of ubuntu [09:16] you guys recommend mythtv or another program? [09:16] Gryllida: In fact, you reminded me that the other computer is not running Windows at all [09:17] * Altreus checks that [09:17] Propel, if you just want to watch tv , then i recommend tvtime , its awesomely simple [09:17] mcl0vin: the kernel should be upgraded just as any other package, automatically [09:17] indus, it is working now Thank you very much [09:17] Propel, i think vlc can capture tv source , try that one [09:17] zcfr, you helped yourself :) [09:17] oh it does? :O [09:17] k [09:17] mcl0vin: you don't need any special procedure for that [09:18] Propel, yeah :D i believe it can capture all you wish for : [09:18] its a brilliant piece of software [09:18] does it do it well? [09:18] we'll see i guess lol [09:18] Propel, unfortunately i cant get it to work with my tv tuner but i think ill try again [09:18] i heard mythtv was a good program [09:19] but i coudlnt find it under software centre [09:19] metv and mythubuntu are the closest programs i could find [09:19] Propel, try tvtime , for simple viewing of tv [09:19] I need repo keys for this..... [09:19] xmbc or something [09:19] deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb apps [09:19] vega: i have never done this so i don't know how...where can i start [09:19] Propel, mythtv is a monster to setup [09:19] and..... [09:19] Propel,try it [09:19] oh i see [09:20] I'd like to cap as well though [09:20] this.... [09:20] mcl0vin: System -> Administration -> Update Manager (on gnome) [09:20] deb http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/getdeb/ubuntu lucid-getdeb games [09:20] I guess I'll try MeTV [09:20] I think it's less CPU hog than mythtv [09:20] vega: i am using terminal [09:20] vega: just do apt-get update [09:20] *sudo [09:21] when i try to /usr/sbin/userdel www-data i get that user www-data is currently logged in [09:21] how do i force remove that username? [09:21] mcl0vin: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -u distupgrade [09:21] distupgrade will that upgrade to 10.4? [09:22] mcl0vin: no it won't [09:22] mcl0vin: Nope, and it's dist-upgrade not distupgrade [09:22] Gryllida: smbmount //192.168.1.98/Archive /mnt/p_drive/Archive/ # mount error(113): No route to host [09:22] rtronk1: www-data is used by apache; you have do uninstall apache [09:22] true, typo there [09:23] Gryllida: Even though I literally just logged in to that server via ssh [09:23] mcl0vin: read "man apt-get" if you want to know what it actually does.. not going to explain it here [09:23] hello everyone [09:23] Also, if I try to browse to it, it asks me for login details before it gives me that dbus error === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan [09:23] can anyone tell me how do y use chmod? to give an dir access to another user? [09:23] vega: will do..thank you anyways for the help and explanation === FlameTai1 is now known as FlameTai1|Sleepi [09:24] hmm! [09:24] I have to do more investigation [09:25] jackuzzy: Hey. Here is a quick tutorial explaing file permissions and why you'd use chmod - http://www.dartmouth.edu/~rc/help/faq/permissions.html [09:25] how do I set up a dial up connection on Ubuntu 10.4 === shardik is now known as oldfart [09:25] Anyone have any getdeb mirrors? [09:25] megamanx1978, getdeb is down === KungFuBear|Work is now known as KungFuBear [09:27] Administrator__: if you have not done so already, start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/modem.html [09:29] I know getdeb is down but I found two getdeb mirrors that are recommended to use from dot src on google until getdeb is back up but I cant find the key for them === MortenTemp is now known as Morten_ [09:31] could anyone tell me how to enable thumbnails on video file icons in samba? === ericm-afk is now known as ericm [09:31] I found them on google by searching what happened to getdeb [09:33] Hi. How is it possible to cleanly remove a program that i installed with a make install? [09:33] vega: i clicked the link and now all my internets wont work [09:34] (it is GEOS) [09:34] yohannbzh, make clean and make distclean [09:34] :D [09:34] distclean? autoclean then? [09:35] yohannbzh: its "make distclean" or "make autoclean" [09:35] distclean doesn't uninstall anything [09:35] it's meant to let you build from scratch [09:36] some packages have a 'make uninstall' or similar, to undo whatever 'make install' did, but not all do. i'm not familiar with GEOS specifically. [09:36] depends on the Makefile in question, it might not be possible at all (automatically) [09:36] read the instructions (README or something) and Makefile [09:37] Kartagis: make clean is not only to remove the compiled files in source path? [09:37] yohannbzh: you might be able to change the installation directory from "/" to something else. Install there and you know the names of all files that have been installed. [09:38] kurt__: Ok, i'll do that [09:38] kurt__: thanks [09:38] yohannbzh, I said make clean *and* make distclean [09:38] what is the proper way to create a user on ubuntu? [09:38] be aware that installing a package like that *will* overwrite any files from a standard ubuntu package [09:39] kartagis: yohannbzh is right, make clean and make distclean only cleanup the build directory [09:39] hi all...I've just had my ubuntu vm fail fsck on reboot, did a manual fsck (just accepted everything) but after reboot it's stuck in the init process before getting to single user mode. It's complaining about /etc/rcS.d/S70screen-cleanup missing /bin/csh. Obviously during the fsck this file was modified but I've no idea how I can now edit it since I get enter single user mode... === Votan|off is now known as Votan [09:39] Desktop Webmail in 10.04 can it handle attachments. e.g. click on a file send by email. I know it can handle send to link etc === william is now known as Guest31894 [09:41] rtronk, sudo useradd [-m] . -m is for if you want to create the home directory too [09:41] Kartagis, rtronk1: use adduser instead [09:42] Flannel, what's the difference? [09:42] I've not been able to find any info on google so I was hoping someone here could help me out... [09:42] Kartagis: It's higher level, so it's a bit more sane to use for default values, etc. [09:43] be aware that none of the command line tools automatically adds the user to necessary groups for accessing devices (video, sound, ..) etc. [09:43] ie. those groups the ubuntu installer puts the default user into [09:43] you need to specify those by hand [09:43] and I suggest using adduser to do that too. `adduser user group` [09:45] is there any "tree" command in ubuntu like in windows? [09:47] I'm guessing I'm pretty much up the creek and will probably require a reinstall? :( [09:47] Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit edition and with great satisfaction - Even though I get some errors. When I run flash apps it doesn't seem to capture my mouseclicks :( [09:47] gothenburg: I think the "tree" package has an equivalent. [09:48] gothenburg, remind me what tree does? [09:48] I'm not sure of this, since I can't remember how tree on Windows works, but the descriptions on Google sound the same :\ [09:48] Pax-Man: i have that problem too. this is not a solution, but as a workaround i have found that Chrome doesn't have that issue. [09:48] Kartagis: make a tree of everything in the folder and subfolders [09:48] !info tree [09:48] tree (source: tree): displays directory tree, in color. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.3-1 (lucid), package size 30 kB, installed size 96 kB [09:49] yup. === Bersam is now known as Bersam|brb [09:49] rshakin, Thank you! Well, I'm sad to leave Firefox - But I think it's better than going to Windows ;-) [09:51] Propel, i couldnt get metv to work, its very slow in development i think [09:51] good to know [09:51] Propel, its a foss baby [09:52] it was the first program that popped up when i searched for mythtv [09:52] foss? [09:52] Propel, i mean open source project [09:52] In middle of upgrade to 0.04 my keyboard stopped keying. After a bunch of key banging the Ctrl-Alt-Del key starts to work suddenly. BAH now I've rebooted and it seems to be hung at ubuntu with the 5 dots. How to recover ? ---> I tried: trl-alt-F1 login and sudo do-release-upgrade...... I got: checking for new ubuntu release ..... no release found > What can I try next to get the upgrade back on track ? [09:52] i see [09:52] Propel, mythbuntu is a full os [09:52] oh shit [09:52] lol [09:52] Propel, for mythtv you need to setup mysql etc [09:52] argh :/ [09:53] I thought it was simple setup :/ [09:53] Propel,only vlc or tvtime are easy [09:53] but tvtime doesn't record, right? [09:53] Propel, try vlc i suggest , it probably has cap too i heard [09:53] yeah, i remember someone telling me that now. but i'd like to see other alternatives [09:53] in case they're better than vlc [09:54] Propel, mythtv is best for you i guess, first install mysql server, then have to start it from a terminal, then configure mythtv backend etc [09:55] lol i'm such a n00bie, i'll need a good guide === maciek_ is now known as Guest81412 === Guest81412 is now known as maciey [09:56] hello, i've got a question. Is that possible to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 by using the 10.04 LTS CD ?? [09:56] is there a simple way to compile a source code, because I can't find one [09:57] antoine__: only if it's an alternate CD. doesn't work with the desktop CD [09:57] It is the desktop CD :/ [09:58] hi all [09:58] Hi [09:58] sorry, but can i ask for help not about ubuntu [09:58] & [09:58] ? [09:58] should the windows NT/2000/XP boot option in grub2 work for windows 7 too? [09:58] troshki: ask, and w'll see [09:58] i need somebody to vote for my photos [09:59] troshki: no. [09:59] thanks. bye [09:59] weirdo [09:59] quit [09:59] exit [09:59] kiamo: grub2 works for win* [09:59] troshki: /quit [09:59] iceman_3233: +1 [09:59] =) thanks [10:00] Galerien, hmm... I get a cannot find device error :( [10:00] kiamo: ow... well, I never had any error for any windows I used (from 2000 to 7) [10:01] hmm [10:01] I have a 10.04 install & an AMD Athlon X2 4850e processor. I'll soon replace it with a Phenom II. Do I have to do anything with ubuntu before/after the swap? === Farkie[Away] is now known as Farkie [10:02] Galerien: Question? [10:02] !afk > Farkie [10:02] Farkie, please see my private message [10:02] alazyworkaholic: theoretically no [10:02] alazyworkaholic: should work fine [10:02] iceman_3233: no, I was just agreeing with the fact that troshki was a weirdo :D [10:02] oCean_ -> BNC [10:02] alazyworkaholic: will you be using the same mobo? [10:02] :) [10:02] no not that [10:03] lallenlowe: thanks, yeah, same mobo. It's an AM2+ socket, so the AM3 Phenom II 945 should work with it right? [10:03] are you familiar with Backtrack? [10:03] iceman_3233: I used it once or twice [10:03] alazyworkaholic: don't have the cpu's memorized [10:03] Okay. [10:03] iceman_3233: ask and will see [10:03] hi. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 alternate install. I need to ensure the installer will *not* touch the MBR or boot loader. The installer is already installing files to disk. It has *not* yet asked me what bootloader I want. Will it ask me later? [10:03] I don't care for KDE that much [10:03] alazyworkaholic: GNU/Linux is great at dynamically etecting new hardware though [10:04] moin [10:04] Is there a way to port tools into Gnome? [10:04] #ubuntu.pl [10:04] I think I read someone doing that? Any clues. [10:04] xylander: /j #ubuntu.pl [10:04] forgot [10:04] Farkie: don't use noisy /away messages or nick changes; repeated use of either of them may result in a ban [10:05] lallenlowe: 3 GHz 4-core. It has a 95 watt TDP, whereas the old one was 45 watts, so I guess there's probably no way the old Athlon's stock cooler would manage eh? [10:05] I would be nice to run it in Gnome though. [10:05] iceman_3233: hum... [10:05] iceman_3233: try "sudo tasktel" [10:05] skdhaksda [10:06] iceman_3233: sudo tasksel [10:06] alazyworkaholic: it might, I dunno [10:06] okay [10:06] hello [10:06] I [10:06] i want also [10:06] have run Vista and Ubuntu dual boot. [10:06] how do I make sure my system has the most up-to-date drivers ? [10:07] Now I just run Vista with Backtrack dual boot. [10:07] Hello ... [10:07] Chao Cac Ban [10:07] but thanks I will give sudo tasktel a try. [10:07] Hhow do I launch clamav? I installed it in software center, but don't see it in any menus, neither a 'clamav' command in terminal. IDK where System Tools are. [10:08] Gryllida: have you tried KlamAV? [10:08] iceman_3233: I don't know if its just ubuntu, but it's a really great tool for installing big packs of software (lamp, kde, gnome....) [10:08] hi guys [10:08] I'll give it a try. [10:08] guys how do you install LAMPP pls help me [10:09] I'm so much of a gnome fan. [10:09] kaflowski: no, why? [10:09] What could be the cause of a network error "SIOCADDRT file exists ....

[10:31] hi [10:31] hi Sandking [10:31] aside from aesthethic and ideological stuff is there any reason that Ubuntu is better than Mint? [10:32] I described the problem in pastebin, along with a sample terminal session. [10:32] I'm using Mint now but I just wanted to know [10:32] I tried to boot into single user mode.. with appending 1 to my grub line.. but I still get a password promt. [10:32] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3JmdWgYg [10:32] tgywa: sudo service NetworkManager restart. [10:33] tgywa: sudo service NetworkManager stop [10:33] Sandking: this is not the channel for such discussion. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors [10:33] Hi! I'm not sure what's going on with my wifi connection - I can see the wireless network (it's a WPA2 network) and I can request to join it, but after I put the wifi password in, it doesn't connect [10:34] I just get a progress indicator spinning for a while, then it fails to connect. [10:34] Any ideas? [10:35] gottto, sayes unrecogenized service ... should I install a package or ....? [10:35] oCean_: why it's not such channel? you all are Ubuntu users and some propably have experience with Mint. I just wanted to know general opinion [10:35] Sandking: this channel is for technical support only. You are most welcome to join #ubuntu-offtopic though [10:35] oCean_: oh, ok, thanks [10:36] hello, i am installing ubuntu as a win app and i wonder why this takes about one hour already without any evidence of an actual ongoing process. Any help possible? [10:37] i-dont-know-noth: I remember playing around with Wubi a little. It's probably downloading ISO -- 700MB. You have fast connection? [10:37] sorry, i forgot to say that i install from a CD [10:38] tgywa: linux is case sensitive [10:38] ok ... [10:39] In middle of upgrade to 0.04 my keyboard stopped keying. After a bunch of key banging the Ctrl-Alt-Del key starts to work suddenly. BAH now I've rebooted and it seems to be hung at ubuntu with the 5 dots.

When I dist-upgraded via tty1, I noticed a few messages during the upgrade process something about "unattended upgrades...". Anyone know what that is all about, or is this normal? [10:40] i would like that the output is one line for each file and that it shows me the path from where i do the command [10:41] i see the installation process box that is actually "frozen" since about one hour [10:41] i-dont-know-noth: installation of what?

[10:47] ican't see it!! [10:47] hmm [10:47] i-dont-know-noth: Are you using Wubi though? I don't understand when you said I'm using it as WIN APP?

[10:48] hello people, any one knows how to solve the iceauthority problem on the startup [10:48] Sia-: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/release/ [10:48] red2kic: there is no " manufacturer, model". i did the PC myself [10:49] is it possible to stop displaying the server messages here in this cha?? Quite disturbing [10:49] Sia-: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ [10:49] i-dont-know-noth: Why the XP specs? You said you burned the ISO and did the direct installation from the disc or you're using some kind of virtual apps? [10:50] some help? [10:50] i-dont-know-noth for example? [10:50] i-dont-know-noth: It's not server messages. One of the ops are cleaning the banlist. [10:50] hi all! [10:50] is there any gui for seeing what usb devices i have installed? [10:50] lsusb -v is so cluttered... [10:50] rapha: "sudo fdisk -l" [10:51] how do I fix the grub. [10:51] ?

(There isn't a native 64 bit version afaik (if there is, please tell me), and 10.0 32 bit was highly unstable) [10:52] red2kic: from a CD i burned from the ISO i dld yesterday [10:52] ok i get sorry [10:52] i mean i get it [10:52] does 10.04 for powerpc work? [10:53] lol Welcome anyway SSSeSSS. hope your ubuntu is as enjoyable as mine :) [10:53] i-dont-know-noth: Did you ran md5sum on the ISO? Sometimes the download get corrupted.

[10:54] well i guess i'll try it. worst case, it'll break. [10:55] Chickenery: sorry, impossible afaik [10:55] /clear does clear all the screen... [10:55] this is not what i expected.... [10:55] i-dont-know-noth: Read this too. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes (See if something is familiar with your machine). [10:55] gottto, the problem is I can't make the install as I don't have interent connection ... means can't use the network manager at this moment. [10:55] Hello! I'm using Karmic x64. I have had strange behaviour with compiz recently, it just takes up a lot of memory and slows everything down. compiz.real sits at the top of top and I have to placate my fan with metacity --replace at login. [10:55] Chickenery: you could deny them the ability to execute /usr/bin/passwd [10:55] Does anyone have a similar problem? [10:55] rcsheets: Was thinking of something similar. [10:55] ok, i guess, i am not made for this kind of conversation.... [10:56] rcsheets: and what about the gnome gui thing? Will it also disable it? [10:56] i-dont-know-noth: What seems to be the problem? [10:56] unsure. try it and see, i suppose. [10:56] thank you either, all [10:56] and gconf-edit? [10:57] Will simple disable of execution disallow them to change the properties? [10:57] you can change your password using gconf-edit? [10:57] hello..how can i replace compiz compositing manager with metisse and set it as default? [10:58] no, but you can change other things, it would allow them to use hibernation, etc... [10:58] red2kic: wtf?! i ask for a USB DEVICES *GUI* and you suggest *fdisk*?!? [10:58] i have 10.04 [10:58] !info metisse [10:58] Package metisse does not exist in lucid [10:58] hmm [10:58] idk [10:58] rapha: Oh lord. GUI. GUI. GUI. Hmm. gparted! [10:58] nipas: You mean metacity? [10:59] rapha: It is a Gnome Partition Editor but it should list all devices. [10:59] no [10:59] iits metisse [10:59] hello, my python's MySQLdb module broke when I upgraded from karmic to lucid.. it says ImportError: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10:59] Hmm, never heard of it. Shall look it up. [10:59] I just want another equal cm for ubuntu [10:59] cause compiz causes problems [11:00] Hmm... doesn't Metacity have fairly good compositing too? [11:00] I want 3d aceleration [11:00] acceleration* [11:00] I tried getting help on that at #python.. and was suggested to ask it here.. so.. any idea how I can fix my MySQLdb python package? [11:01] any ideas? [11:01] nipas: many of the "problems" caused by compiz are inevitable with a compositing manager [11:01] sharat87, show the errors ur getting [11:01] so what do you suggest as an alternative? [11:02] when I try `import MySQLdb`, I get ImportError: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory... will paste-bin the traceback.. [11:02] nipas: it's possible that metacity's builtin compositing manager might work better for you, purely because it doesn't use OpenGL [11:02] nipas: in any case, problems with 3d acceleration and compiz are the fault of your video driver [11:03] sharat87, You appear to be missing the libmysqlclient15off package or a file in it. [11:03] Try to reinstall it. [11:03] i don't ythink so... [11:03] for example flash , cursor change etc [11:03] Balgan: ok.. will try now [11:04] crdlb: Maybe I should check on my video driver too.. I'm using nvidia 195.30 beta and compiz is turning up the heat every time I log in (at least since I installed the 2.6.31-22 kernel via apt-get upgrade... removed it but the problem remains) [11:04] I'm totally confused. I've just set up ubuntu server and I can fetch packages with apt fine. But when I connect to a website using elinks, the proxy server on my network blocks it. So how is apt getting through?? [11:04] nipas: some info about metisse http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9397429 [11:04] Balgan: it says.. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/224221/ [11:04] thx :) [11:05] Has somebody tried Flash 10.1 32 bit on 64 bit yet? (There isn't a native 64 bit version afaik (if there is, please tell me), and 10.0 32 bit was highly unstable) [11:05] crdlb: What makes you so sure the problem is with a video driver, though? [11:06] test [11:06] ikonia: succeeded [11:06] thank youi [11:07] quit [11:07] icedwater: because compiz isn't doing anything wrong in that respect, but it takes quite a bit of work in the video drivers for redirected direct rendering to work well [11:08] mutter is an alternative ...kwin is for kde...so what can i do? [11:08] IS THERE ANOTHER? === sami is now known as samiz [11:08] sry [11:08] it was by fault:D [11:09] nipas: with the exception of cursor themes (which is indeed a compiz limitation), everything else should work about the same with any 3d compositing manager [11:09] crdlb: OK... so compiz is just doing its regular job, but the video driver is working the CPU extra hard is what you're saying? [11:10] hello, since a few days ago my ubuntu doesn't bring up interface eth0 at startup automatically. "sudo service network-interface start" fails with "start: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE". [11:10] icedwater: something like that [11:10] crdlb, what about flash player and windows moving? [11:10] Does anyone have any experience with OBM? I have problems due to an incomplete download, which can't be removed. === PHANTOM is now known as Guest7908 [11:13] My package manager isn't working.

[11:21] I changed the button_layout using gconf-editor (apps/metacity/general/button_layout to menu:minimize,maximize,close) but it probably requires restarting X [11:21] how to restart x [11:21] Vroomfondle: It tells me when starting it up "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." but it didn't work. [11:21] What does aptitude do mate? [11:21] vaagoh: ctrl-alt-backspace?

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [11:34] Hi...I have an ubuntu server running as a vm host under vmware fusion. From my mac I can access the server (ssh) but I the host can't see the server. when I ping the gateway, it's unreachable. /etc/resolve.conf correctly sets the gateway ip. I'm a bit stumped right now [11:36] saimon: resolv.conf is for DNS config (how to resolve names) not for default gateway. [11:36] oCean_: ofcourse...ok what should I be checking? [11:36] saimon: however, if the server is reachable from mac, networksetup on the ubuntu server must be correctly configured, right? [11:37] oCean_: it looks like it is yes [11:37] saimon: on the ubuntuserver "route -n" will show you the default gateway (line starting with 0.0.0.0) [11:38] saimon: so the issue might be on the host running vmware. I'm not familiar with that.. [11:38] how do u get a good python IDE i went sudo apt-get install python and it gave me a basic python command line [11:39] sharat87, solved? [11:39] oCean_: having a hard time copy route output from host. hold on... [11:39] Can anyone tell me how to find out the ip off the person I'm chatting with? Like on msn or skype or qq? [11:39] uros: You can't. [11:39] Balgan: nope.. kind of gave up.. will say.. reinstall ubuntu lucid :) [11:40] shouldnt've upgraded, i guess... [11:40] u can in windows [11:40] if i'm connected to him, than why not? [11:40] during file transfer. [11:40] or sth. similar] [11:40] Balgan: the package u suggested is there in synaptic, but in a weird condition.. says it is obsolete or removed.. [11:41] uros, because it's not direct transfer. [11:41] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/TTG3fdQU [11:41] so there is now way to trace the transfer and the users ip? [11:41] uros: in my irc client i can right click a name and do whois and it tells me what it thinks the ip of the user is [11:42] uros, not unless you can gain access to the chat server and read logs or run monitor commands [11:42] Balgan: shit I just realised I didn't get back to you after trying what u suggested.. so sorry.. :) and thanks for all your help :) [11:42] Spiralmatrix, not talking about irc though. [11:42] ah right :) [11:44] whats the command to see how much space i have on my harddrive [11:44] oCean_: just found a clue...ifconfig on mbp say gateway is infact different to what vmware says...trying different gateway [11:44] saimon: ah, ok. Seems correct way to go - check the differences [11:45] SailorReality: You can just see that in the GUI. Nautilus shows 'Free space' at the bottom for the partition you're on. [11:45] a file transfer over skype or msn is not a direct one? [11:45] SailorReality: df -h / [11:45] ok thanks [11:45] wtffff [11:46] how did i already use 2.2 gigs [11:46] i just got it [11:46] SailorReality: Or you can see them all at once in System Monitor, tab 'File Systems' [11:46] must have been from when i let it install updates [11:46] i only let it have 5 gigs too [11:46] (with more details) [11:46] !enter | SailorReality [11:46] SailorReality: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[12:53] geirha: no workaround for this ? [12:53] mendel1: shouldn't there be an 'aptitude remove mysql-server --purge' in there somewheres ? [12:53] helpinstallubunt: You can install the regular desktop, then install fluxbox after it is installed, and optionally remove gnome. [12:54] Firstgear, or you can open a terminal anddo, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock [12:54] BluesKaj: No no no, fuser -k sends the KILL signal by default [12:54] BluesKaj: Should also add -TERM to the command [12:55] geirha: i really need a light DE if i install gnome first will it messing my flux, in the term of RAM usage ?

[12:57] BluesKaj: It hasn't changed, it's been like that for a long time. Doing kill -9 should always be a last resort, always try SIGTERM first. [12:57] mendel1: maybe describe your problem then? perhaps reinstalling isn't the solution [12:57] geirha: thanks for the support [12:57] hey huys i just installed vim, where do i open it? [12:58] guys* [12:58] hello [12:58] geirha, I didn't type anything about kill -9 [12:58] hello [12:58] BluesKaj: That's what fuser -k does, kill -9 on each process which has the file open [12:58] inveratulo: I broke some config files, then removed them.

I am not sure of the 100% proper way to do it, but I would first do a 'aptitude remove mysql-server --purge' and then do a 'find / -name mysql' and remove everything by hand [13:05] Hi there, I have a Nokia 2323 and want to synchronize its contacts with Evolution via Bluetooth.

[13:05] inveratulo: It's either «aptitude purge» or «apt-get remove --purge» ...

But can not find this solution again [13:06] bleah: try sudo apt-get install build-essential [13:07] Slart: Oh, I'm pretty sure it didn't have that command last I tried, though I haven't used apt-get for years so i guess it's gotten added sometime since then. [13:07] geirha, and I was about to tell Firstgear to run , sudo dpkg --configure -a , to clear any broken dependencies [13:07] geirha: I think it's pretty new.. but it has existed for at least a year or so [13:07] inveratulo: there was a magic command that cleaned all, but I can't remember it [13:08] geirha: so how to solve this, i specify a / root partion too will it make a /home directory [13:08] geirha: not sure if it's a ubuntu feature or something from upstream [13:08] mendel1: I am not sure of that. I usually spend most of my time making sure mysql configs never gets removed/modified :-p [13:08] helpinstallubunt: Yes, it will put /home on /. If you want to use your current home partition, set it to /home in the installer, and make sure to not check the box for formatting it. [13:09] geirha: but the installer wont let me [13:09] helpinstallubunt: you could always move /home to point at your partition, after install. so the installer dosent even try to touch it. [13:10] helpinstallubunt: How so? [13:10] what s the complite command of badbloch to see if is there error on hd?

When I use the Send To nautilus extension, I don't get a list of devices to choose from. any ideas/ [13:20] o [13:21] telmich, Did you install REFIT on the Mac side? [13:21] simmerz: you do have teh device paired with the pc? [13:21] badpenguin86: no [13:21] badpenguin86: is that still needed / the recommended way? [13:22] Dr_Willis: does it have to be paired? surely I can send to an arbitrary device, but the remote side has to accept it [13:22] telmich, It is what worked for me. Never got Gnome to properly boot OS X [13:22] Got a problem with mysql-server-5.1. The recent update (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3) caused apt-get upgrade to hang (left it for at least 24hrs). This caused mysql-server-5.1 to be corrupted, thus I had to remove with apt-get remove --purge. I have now reinstalled with apt-get install mysql-server-5.1, which seems to have gone fine EXCEPT that I cannot actually start the server, sudo start mysql hangs, and running start with the v [13:23] simmerz: err.. no - you normally have to pair bluetooth gizmos for them to send to each other. [13:23] simmerz: otherwise all sorts of nasty things can start happening [13:23] telmich, If you install GRUB to the partition that Ubuntu is installed on, then boot into OS X, and install REFIT, it should find Ubuntu [13:23] Dr_Willis: I've never had that before [13:24] Dr_Willis: btw, this worked fine under Karmic. Just not under Lucid [13:24] @Dr_Willis; I know for a fact that I don't need to pair my mobile phone with others before it can recieve files [13:24] simmerz: i recall some old bluetooth 'attacks' years back when these things started getting common. Picture sitting on a buss and you get 20+ 'requests to accept' some spam/virus.. [13:24] Promythyus: every phone ive ever had i have had to pair. [13:24] Hi there, I have a Nokia 2323 and want to synchronize its contacts with Evolution via Bluetooth. How do I do that? [13:24] I have already set up gnokii properly and it can read my contacts. [13:24] Promythyus: perhaps they are auto-pairing when the file is sent. [13:25] Dr_Willis: you need to pair to use specific devices (HID, or headsets etc) [13:25] But how can I make Evolution know that too? [13:25] pairing is just so a device knows that a given extension device is bound to it and not another device [13:25] but sending files is arbitrary [13:25] *should* be standard obex stuff [13:26] 'should' :) [13:26] so i can sit with a pc at a busy intersection and just start sending to everyone that walk by. [13:26] Dr_Willis: yep [13:26] if you can do it fast enough [13:27] That's how bluetooth advertising works [13:27] Cant say taht ive ever seen a bluetooth advert. I have seen/heard of bluetoth viruses. [13:27] you walk into a store, and it sends you something that you can show the cashier - you have to accept it first [13:27] but this is getting away friom ubuntu perhaps some reading ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Pairing [13:27] * simmerz works in advertising [13:28] simmerz: sounds like somthuing that would make me want to not shop at that store [13:28] Dr_Willis: likewise, but it's still there [13:28] sounds like a good way to trick someone into getting a virus also [13:28] hey guys [13:28] heh, years ago it was all the rage in the uk [13:28] sending bluetooth sms back and forth to people [13:28] I suddenly started my laptop(ubuntu) and now nothing is working, like mysql, php, pidgin, nothing, why is that happenning?

[13:30] Dr_Willis: as it says, pairing is for use where you don't want user intervention in the connection [13:30] lol stru u pwnt urself [13:30] ie - you turn your mouse on and you want it to just work with your machine, or your headset and you just want calls to get routed through it.

[13:38] that made my panel come back [13:38] simmerz: synce ... what? [13:38] So I upgraded from server 8 to 9.10 but I had a problem upgrading to 10... It might because I put a GUI on my server which is blasphemous I know. http://pastebin.com/nD69qhvp [13:38] how do i remove kubuntu-desktop [13:39] ололо [13:39] sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [13:39] is that it [13:39] struhevol: I use "sudo tasksel' [13:39] sudo apt-get remove [13:40] Georgerer: is it a winmo or some other?

[13:42] Lazydude: why do you think that will help? Are you doing somthing to the kernel? [13:42] you shouldn't need anything to backup the kernel [13:42] unless you want it on a different disk [13:42] then just copy /boot :) [13:42] * Soyo <-- nobody can help him :( [13:43] I tend to do clean instsalls Soyo [13:43] Georgerer: yo'll probably want Multisync then [13:43] no, but i followed some steps online about adjusting my wifi internet rate to 54mbs and my wifi driver was out of whack after i did it. [13:43] I'm trying to checkout ubuntu 10.04 but my keyboard and mouse freezes often :( [13:43] Soyo: but having a gui installed shouldent affect it. [13:43] Soyo: eh, do you have the Proposed repositories enabled? [13:43] simmerz: I've installed it but I can't find a way to use it in Evolution. [13:43] it was stuck on 11mbps before, so i had to do a reinstall. now all is perfect [13:43] i am ubuntu 10.4 [13:43] on [13:43] its ok i guess [13:43] thrillErboy: you running it from a live cd? [13:44] this is the first distro i ever used [13:44] yes kreppnar [13:44] Georgerer: have you installed the evolution plugin for it?

[13:45] thrillErboy: k ... hmm..i wouldn't think it would give you much problems if it was installed..just might be cause its on a cd [13:45] thanks ubottu [13:45] that was helpfull did not know about that [13:45] Soyo: it wont hurt if it removes a metapackage [13:45] Soyo, answer my question first, do you or do you not have the Proposed repositories enabled? because from your output, it would seem that way [13:45] Soyo: you can always reinstall it later [13:46] simmerz: Yes. And I have restarted Evolution. [13:46] struhevol: yea. they need to make a big icon pointing to that manual on the desktop :) [13:46] Okey, If I switch the mouse to USB mouse it works for some time :/ [13:46] anyway thanks kreppnar [13:46] Georgerer: not sure unfortunately then. All I know is that's the way it's supposed to be done [13:46] thrillErboy: Aye, np [13:46] !ubottu | struhevol [13:46] struhevol: Hi!

LjL, I am not sure checking... [13:46] Mh, somehow Ubuntu sucketh mightily ... The shipped Gwibber doesn't work and Evolution doesn't sync ... [13:47] o shit that bot is sick [13:47] factoids [13:47] sick? [13:47] Georgerer: gwibber works fine for me. [13:47] simmerz: It doesn't work with identi.ca [13:48] simmerz: not for me, huge memory leaks ;) [13:48] Great. Now Ubuntu has decided that it doesn't want Bluetooth to work anymore. [13:48] * simmerz steps aside for a someone with more knowledge to help [13:48] Georgerer: I'm sure you help him with that in some way ;) [13:49] this is the best user friendly distro of linux ever in my experiences with my hardware. only thing that needs to worked out are the boot and shut down image sizes. i already fixed that with a tweak though [13:49] ls [13:49] hello :) [13:49] Does ubuntu server 64bit have an dvd with all packages? I only see the cd on ubuntu.com. [13:49] the terminal is verry usefull [13:49] actually it probably is the video card companies fault [13:49] everything goes in there [13:49] Galerien: Help whom with what? [13:50] I'm trying to install dos2unix on 10.04. I installed tofrodos, but it doesn't seem to be in the package [13:50] Georgerer: help ubuntu taking the decision to drop blue-tooth, it's just a joke dude [13:50] Snadder: the dvd dosent come with 'all' packages anyway. it does include a few extra packages I think and more languages.. but im not sure there is a server dvd . [13:50] how do i use -purge with to completely remove a pkg i compiled from source and i used checkinstall [13:50] Snadder: have you looked at the torrent section? [13:51] tofrodos - Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos [13:51] !info tofrodos [13:51] tofrodos (source: tofrodos): Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7.8.debian.1-2 (lucid), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB [13:52] Galerien, where is the torrent section? [13:52] LjL I went to software sources but its hard to see the actual names of the repositories that way.. Is there a command line way to do this or a file to cat? [13:52] Soyo: cat /etc/apt/sources.list [13:52] how do i use -purge with to completely remove a pkg i compiled from source and i used checkinstall [13:52] Galerien: Its not that funny. === n is now known as Guest77732 [13:53] mcl0vin: if you made a deb from it.. same as you do any other package sudo apt-get remove --purge whatever [13:53] mcl0vin, usually there's areadme file with uninstall instructions === Guest77732 is now known as Lazydude [13:54] How do I know if the package I am installing is from a CD room? [13:54] Snadder: hu... don't know, let me check it out [13:54] hi, the recent update to 10.04 from 9.10 unscrewed my windows 7 installation on /dev/sda1, it now refuses to boot. On upgrade I rejected grub update and asked to leave it as it is, however W7 stopped booting, endless black screen with cursor. I checked that /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober founds windows partition on (hd1,0), and exactly the same record is used in grub.cfg. What might be the issue, could you please help to fix it? ;) [13:54] LjL http://pastebin.com/aVmKiYhc <-- seems like a have a few fails in there... [13:55] Cos ... I am install postfix. .... commented out all lines in sources.list ...and only the cdrom line is left [13:55] Soyo: remove the last uncommented line from there (the one with proposed), then "sudo apt-get update" and then try again upgrading [13:55] Snadder: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [13:55] the installaiton is going well ... but would like to make sure that I am installig it from the cd rom [13:55] LjL ok [13:56] hi all. I wonder if you can help. I have Ubuntu 10.4 on a laptop and a desktop. Cron jobs run as scheduled from the laptop. On the desktop they don't. Didn't work yesterday. On first boot up this morning they worked fine! Rebooted to experiment. Now don't work... [13:56] Now I have setup up multisync and set gnokii and evolution to synchronize the contacts. [13:56] Georgerer: sorry you took it this way, but with computers, 95% of the bugs/problems are between the chair and the keyboard [13:56] It claims to work but no new contacts appear in Evolution. [13:56] Not sure why the same script works on one ubuntu and not the other. Upstart? [13:56] Galerien: I do know that. [13:56] But this just sucks. [13:56] Galerien: Gwibber is definitely not working. [13:57] Galerien: And Multisync at least isn't doing what its claiming to do. [13:57] hello [13:57] mmarc you should probably install grub then [13:57] bagua, Is the issue that cron isn't running, or that it is running, but isn't running your script? [13:58] Georgerer: I give you gwibber, mine has memory leaks, but my install isn't good... [13:59] ugh, anyone?? What the hell 10.04 updater does with grub, and why can't it simply leave it alone? [13:59] Can anyone tell me where is loging program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10 [13:59] hi ks3. Ran fine after the first morning boot. Not the second boot... [13:59] Galerien: I have just a plain Ubuntu 10.04 install. [13:59] SO Let me see [13:59] to see if it is running I would look for the cron running in the backgorune [14:00] background. Right? That is to answer your question about it not running [14:00] I am trying to install postfix from CD room, and got the error " unable to fetch ssome archives ... postfix_2.7.0-1_amd.dev File not found [14:00] ? [14:00] Not sure of the command to do that looking... [14:01] Does anyone know if either firefox or chromium supports news:// urls, either natively or through plugins? [14:01] nobody has any answers for my mysql problem? [14:01] Can anyone tell me where is login screen program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10? [14:01] bagua, On 10.04, you can run 'service cron status' [14:01] Promythyus: ask it again [14:01] if my colleagues use x.bsg.local for microsoft exchange server, what should I write to OWA URL in the evolution ? [14:02] Problem with mysql-server-5.1: The recent update (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3) caused apt-get upgrade to hang (left it for at least 24hrs). This caused mysql-server-5.1 to be corrupted, thus I had to remove with apt-get remove --purge. I have now reinstalled with apt-get install mysql-server-5.1, which seems to have gone fine EXCEPT that I cannot actually start the server, sudo start mysql hangs, and running start with the verbose [14:02] wash: no, you would need SeaMonkey the community build of the Mozilla Suite [14:02] it requires me to write http somewhere, I am confused [14:02] tgywa, what line do you got in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [14:02] IRC firsttimer -- can anybody direct me at a resource for participating in #ubuntu IRC discussions. I have connected via webchat (from my Windows PC at work -- can't install anything here) and even that took some figuring out. Took a little while to figure out I was supposed to type "join #ubuntu" once it finished connecting and giving me all sorts of warnings about not liking proxy users. Now I'm trying to figure out how to turn off t [14:02] kbrosnan - really? seamonkey supports it? [14:02] ks3 will do that right now... [14:02] I can honestly say I didn't expect that :P [14:03] wash: seamonkey is a nntp clinet [14:03] Can anyone tell me where is login screen program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10 [14:03] Promythyus: running start with verbose does what? [14:04] wash: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/img-screen/mailnews_overview.png [14:04] ks3 It shows "cron stop/waiting" Interesting... Wonder why on the first boot up it loaded and started and the second it didn't or it stopped... [14:04] Snadder, in sources.list, I have deb:cdrom:[Ubuntu-server 10.04 LTS .... [14:05] simmerz: sudo start -v mysql just hangs, the same as sudo start mysql. No output at all [14:05] tgywa, and where is your mounting point? [14:05] Hello I would like to creat a new directory by sudo mkdir and to set the owner to " lefantomedlopera " instead of " root" [14:05] so what is the syntax? [14:05] kbrosnan: thanks. [14:05] Promythyus: have you tried to run mysqld directly? [14:05] sudo mkdir blah [14:05] Snadder, /media/CD [14:05] bagua, Cron should log information to /var/log/syslog. That would be a good place to start looking. [14:05] lefantomedlopera: create it, then "sudo chown lefantomedlopera dirname" [14:05] sheikh, its in system > admin > login window [14:06] LjL http://pastebin.com/aVmKiYhc I uncommented line 80 and still got the same result [14:06] sudo chown lefantmedlopera blah [14:06] because when I make sudo pcmanfm and rename the owner, the operation is forbiden [14:06] Promythyus: I have to head off now, but that's where I'd look, as well as in the mysql log [14:06] thanks LjL I will try [14:06] sudo chown lefantomedlopera directoryname [14:06] Snadder, should the mount point be mentioned in sources.list? [14:06] simmerz: Thanks, I'll check through the log. launching mysqld does nothing, it doesn't appear in ps aux [14:06] Soyo: ehm, i didn't want you to uncomment line 80, but to comment line 78 [14:06] ks3 thanks been in there. Didn't see anything first pass. Will look again (more closely) and get back to ya. Thank you! [14:07] Hello [14:07] ks3 Nice catch on the cron stop/waiting thing... Thanks...

[14:31] qgel did you try file properties? [14:32] hey everyone. i am trying to unmount a share, but klauncher keeps it busy. If i kill klauncher, it automatically relaunches itself and keeps the share busy again [14:32] kermit-the-frog_ ah thanks a lot, that works [14:32] how can I unmount the share? [14:32] it is a cifs share in my home directory [14:34] man umount ? [14:35] Hi.. I installed ubuntu 10.04 with grub2 (previously had debian lenny with grub1).. Now I booted to a grub 15 error.. Anyone know how to fix it? [14:35] kermit-the-frog_: yeah, I know unmount, but klauncher has it occupied [14:35] SmokeyD: if you want to be sure : sudo umount -a [14:35] kermit-the-frog_: what is it doing there in the first place? How can I stop klauncher from doing what it is doing on the share so i can unmount it normally [14:36] Snadder: do you have a live CD? [14:36] Galerien: umount -a unmounts all shares..... that is not what I want [14:36] If so could you post (not in the IRC channel) from boot/grub/grub.conf [14:37] Zenith77, DO I need that?.. I have a ubuntu 10.04 server cd. [14:37] I just have one cifs share mounted. I want to unmount it, but when I do it, umount complains it is busy. When I check why, it turns out klauncher is using it. [14:37] is it possible to disable the desktop for a user? we have a small bed and breakfast and i want to use a laptop with ubuntu 10.04 for the guests, but it should only show firefox and disable the rest, so they cant mess things up [14:38] After upgrading from jaunty -> karmic -> lucid, a bunch of my menu items lost their icons. is there an easy way to have those regenerated? [14:38] Snadder: most installation CD's will act like a live cd [14:38] Snadder: unless you customized it in some way, so just boot from that [14:39] Zenith77, okok.. How do I correct it after I boot from it? [14:39] Hi! Updated 10.04 LTS after not for couple weeks. Now network weirdness. Router had been config'd to serve specific IP based on MAC address. After update, eth0 (owner of MAC) not happening but eth1 with wacky MAC address connected. After trying several things, gave up and set eth1 to static IP and removed config from router. That was fine last night. This morning, eth1 is gone, eth0 is back (with random IP), and pulling up System | Preferen [14:39] In middle of upgrade to 0.04 my keyboard stopped keying. After a bunch of key banging the Ctrl-Alt-Del key starts to work suddenly. BAH now I've rebooted and it seems to be hung at ubuntu with the 5 dots. How to recover ? ---> I tried: trl-alt-F1 login and sudo do-release-upgrade...... I got: checking for new ubuntu release ..... no release found > What can I try next to get the upgrade back on track ? [14:40] Snadder: well, AFAIK, error 15 is a file not found error.

[15:21] No, there was definitely something wacky going on with the Ubuntu server, such that my former router config did not work last night. As part of my workaround, I killed the "static" DHCP serving from the router and set eth1 with the static IP address. This morning, eth1 is gone (again), and eth0 got a random IP. My System | Preferences | Network Connections this morning (still) did not show *any* network connections, so no way to tell eth0 t [15:21] static. Just now, I re-added the "static" DHCP config to my router, restarted the router, and rebooted Ubuntu. [15:22] Who can help with vpn-on-vpn connection on ubuntu 10.04?

You could craft a multi-part command or a bash script to run lp multiple times.

I believe there is a how to transfer to a true install but i've heard its painful. I suggest you make sure your backups ar sufficient and do a clean install [16:15] tinktank: ive seen guides on converting a wubi install to a 'normal' install - but no idea how well they work [16:15] tinktank: if you make sure your backup scope includes a lot of the files in $HOME then it will transfer the configs [16:15] hi there, i've installed ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, but has no internal sound, must conect to externals [16:15] tinktank: you could move the hd to some other box. or track down a cd drive.

Thanks tar- [16:20] halfling: i substituded openjdk for sun-version a couple of months ago, no problems yet [16:20] I guess by modern standards dividing 1.5Tb up about 6 ways doesn't qualify as "large" [16:20] bagua, Interesting. So upstart isn't consistently starting cron on boot? [16:21] 'twas large when I first did it ;-) [16:22] Apparently not.

[16:56] Aptana anybody? [16:56] ikhider: but normally a computer would tell you "no operating system found" if it didn't have one at all [16:56] chisel_: wowwiki says you should unmount the dvd. Not sure if that could be related... [16:56] geirha: i also noticed that all the copied files have now gotten rid of all the lock icons. [16:56] kreppnar: All I get is a winking cursor, nothing else [16:56] kreppnar: I went off for a while and came back, same winking cursor [16:57] chisel_: That's the chown's doing. You've become the owner of them now. [16:57] geirha: should i just pop the disc out? is that the same?

[16:58] i decided to go with it and now its stuck Initializing device with zeroes: 2% [16:59] kreppnar: No [16:59] kreppnar: had a look at quanta but from research Aptana comes highly recommended [16:59] has anyone created their own custom liveCD? [16:59] hey I just installed Kubuntu and now I have a really strange soundproblem. Loads of applications dont work with sound or cam and some do. For example the cam test in kopete works but I cant tlk with cam over a skype account with kopete and I cant do it with skype directly. Then I can play a movie with sound and everything with the standard player but not with mplayer. I cant hear anything when I listen to youtube videos. Can anybody help [16:59] me [16:59] kreppnar: So you think it is a grub issue? Because I never did get a grub menu [16:59] ikhider: possible [16:59] how do i run a python script as root at startup? [16:59] hello [16:59] ikhider: or has your harddrive failed you? [16:59] Kreppnar: used dreamweaver for php websites [17:00] New2Ubuntu: ah [17:00] valuedcustomer: run it from /etc/rc.local is one way [17:00] New2Ubuntu: is this Aptana only for Mac [17:00] geirha: umounted, popped out the disc, cd'd to wowlk, did wine Installer.exe and still same response from installer. "waiting for files to close [17:00] evening, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good program to check for (physical) hard drive errors? [17:00] Dr_Willis: where in rc.local? at the end or in do_start [17:00] kreppnar: all win mac os x [17:00] kreppnar: No, my hard drive did not fail me [17:00] !fsck | Gorlist [17:00] Gorlist: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [17:00] thanks [17:01] ikhider: maybe you can boot a live cd..and if you have a thumb drive, make a start up disk? [17:01] chisel_: Hm. Not sure what that could mean. You could try asking in #winehq, they might have more experience with that. [17:01] valuedcustomer: befor the exit command.. check the comments of the file [17:01] kreppnar: www.aptana.com [17:01] ikhider: to see if you can get it to boot your linux [17:01] ok. thanks [17:01] I'm looking for help with Qimo the kids software.

[17:03] Dr_Willis: the comments don't say much. just an INIT INFO block. [17:03] kreppnar: Okay, I will download a live disc, thanks! [17:03] ikhider: yeah they should have a boot disk creating option on the live cd [17:03] Hi i just installed Ubuntu on a mac mini. I see, that one core is completely blocked by a process called backend. (/usr/share/checkbox/backend). Any ideas what seems to be the problem? [17:03] kreppnar: all linux ide's diffcult for me dreamweaver made me lazy [17:04] well I didnt do anything on my own so far [17:04] ikhider: that should possibly kick start grub, and possibly detect your old linux install [17:04] Vigo: didnt change anything. what shall I try? [17:04] New2Ubuntu: lol cant be lazy with linux :p [17:04] Vigo: can I give you some helpful output or something?

[17:05] New2Ubuntu: aye..makes you actually learn something about computers :p [17:05] coffee_: That could be were the solution is, would take about 20 lines to explain it here, let me look on the forums for you. [17:05] what would cause nautilus to take 5 minutes to open a directory with 637 debs in it? [17:05] hiiiiiiiiiiiiii [17:06] LovehinaX: can you give the lsusb ID for the device [17:06] LovehinaX: is it detected in jcalibrate ? [17:06] bbl [17:06] Vigo: Well I tried some stuff but nothing special and I searched on the forums already but didn't find anything :( Its really strange cause some sound and videos stuff works and some doesnt [17:06] tom3p: previews maybe [17:07] i use list displays, and debs dont have previews that i know of [17:07] thx tho === calibre_ is now known as Zela [17:07] #ubuntu.pl [17:07] kreppnar: am from africa have IT company 10 years now not so big on Linux [17:07] Why does my mousepad freeze when I push a certain button on my Gateway computer?

[17:09] Why does my mousepad freeze when I push a certain button on my Gateway computer? I dual boot with win7 I cant get it to unfreeze without a restart anyone can help? [17:09] Zela: care to tell us what button? [17:10] have you checked the keybindings on ur computer? u cld have possibly bound said button to ur mouse pad off option [17:10] coffee_: I am still looking,,that is the common solution to those errors. pulse and or alsa , [17:10] Dr_Willis, Its a button on my Gateway computer it looks like a touchpar with a finger touching the pas and the finger has a + sign on it, it came on the Gateway computer next to the wifi insignia [17:10] zyco [17:11] hi [17:11] Zela: so you are refering to the 'laptops touchpad on/off' button.... [17:11] ...that is your mouse pad off option. if you push it a second time it should theoretically come back on [17:11] chatttttttttttttttttttttt [17:11] LovehinaX: sudo modprobe joydev; sudo modprobe analog; sudo modprobe ns558 may help [17:11] Dr_Willis, I guess, but it freezes the mouse so how do I unfreeze it when I hit the button on acccident? [17:11] Zela: fn+thatkey should turn it on/off [17:12] by hitting it again [17:12] ActionParsnip: thanks Il try that out [17:12] Is there a way to add support for swapping into a kernel that doesnt support it (via modules or similar) without compiling a new kernel? [17:12] i think he means an actual physical button near his mouse pad tho. not like a function key [17:12] Zela: how are you hitting that by accident? every laptop ive seen requires the FN+specialkey or a specific key thats not easially hit. to turn it on/off [17:12] no its a touch sensitive button [17:12] Dr_Willis, [17:12] coffee_: Here is a very attentive thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683&highlight=sound+video+KDE [17:12] dr_willis: no some of them have it on thier mouse pad [17:13] hey guys. i'm trying to launch KDE, but am stuck with a black screen.. i can see/move the mouse, but that's it. [17:13] using command line, isn't a ";" like a new line?? so command 1 ; command 2 the first would finish, then the second would start? [17:13] any ideas on how to solve that? [17:13] brotha: one of mine does.. but its very hard to accidently hit it. [17:13] Machtin: have you already installed kubuntu-desktop ¿ [17:13] shane2peru: try it.. ls ; cd / ; ls [17:13] Dr_Willis, Its a sensitive touch button [17:13] hello [17:13] everyone [17:13] uhm, should be xangua.. it's kubuntu actually and worked for several months [17:14] i just want to know that how can i connect my internet with data card [17:14] hello [17:14] Dr_Willis: i know what you mean, but some of them are touch sensitive and relatively easy to accidentaly hit. either way i see where you are coming from and am not entirely sure how this is a distinct problem lol. but ya [17:14] ActionParsnip: still same problem, when I try to set some buttons in ZSNES, it quickly just sets it as J19...I dont even have time to press any button [17:14] xangua: however, good hint! thank you! :) [17:14] Vigo: thanks maybe that will help :) [17:15] why on ubuntu after type "sudo" we still can use "tab" button for next command ? [17:15] brotha, Would you know how to make the pad come back on because my mouse pad does not work in Ubuntu when I hit it [17:15] Dr_Willis, yes, but those are so simple, I'm dealing with the second process cannot start until after the other finishes, I can't tell if those are run simultaneously, or one after the other. [17:15] mims: very well configured 'bash completion' [17:15] hello all, how can I write simple data a just deleted DVD-RW disc? I've deleted with brasero, but It isnt mounted, and GnomeBaker drops the formatted disk out-> "doesent seem as a writeable DVD"; but I can write it in windows with nero :S [17:15] jest ktoś z polski [17:15] coffee_: You are quite welcome, that one looks like it covers all Kubuntu multimedia stuff.... [17:15] i have data card but due to .exe format i am unable to install driver so how can i coonnect internet in ubuntu with data card [17:16] zela, the best advice i would have would be to hit the button again and beyond i have no idea. [17:16] shane2peru theres also the && method. Check the vaious bash guides and advanced bash scripting guide perhaps. [17:16] slawek > #ubuntu-pl [17:16] zela, or to use a mouse and jus tleave ur touchpad disabled [17:16] zela, i am sorry to not be of more help [17:16] shane2peru: if the first one spawns to the background the 2nd one will then run. [17:16] brotha, that does not work, and I have to restart my computer for it to work again, np [17:17] Dr_Willis, I tried another test, mkdir testing ; mkdir testing/new ; ls testing/ ; rmdir testing/new ; rmdir testing [17:17] man .. I think Ubuntu is going down the tubes.. or at least becoming more arrogant from the top up [17:17] really worked, there was some broken stuff. thanks xangua :) [17:17] Dr_Willis, bash completion ? how i use it on other distro ? [17:17] http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/39723-ubuntu-apes-novell-in-ip-scare-campaign [17:17] Dr_Willis, thanks for the info [17:17] ActionParsnip: on mupen64...it doesnt even regognize any buttons, even if it says that there is a USB joystick connected [17:17] zela, hvae you looked at your keybindings and mouse settings just in case something got mixed up in there? [17:17] brotha, nope [17:18] mims: most disrtos have it. its a bash feature - check the bash docs. [17:18] !offtopic | benkevan [17:18] benkevan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [17:18] ubuntu hardy nautilus took over 5 minutes to display directory with >600 .deb files in list mode. turned off assistive technologies, logged out & back in. fixed now ! :) [17:18] I use lxde as window manager, and sometimes when im using it, i just cant seem to start any programs from the window manager anymore, if i have a console window open i can use it to start things, but i cant start or open anything from desktop or menus. How would i go about debugging this situation? [17:18] zela, i would think about doing so, however idk if it will reveal your problem. if you have said button bound to just off then it will not turn back on for example. but i am not sure how one might accidentaly do such a thing [17:18] ActionParsnip: ops...I was wronge...I didnt select it...but when I do...same this happens as in ZSNES...it quickly just sets it to some button...I dont even have time to press anything [17:18] Milp_main: you mean a 'terminal window' ? launch commands from it with 'commandname &' normally [17:19] Hi, I'm looking for help with the Qimo kids software. I currently run xubuntu 10.04. [17:19] Milp_main: theres the #lubuntu channel also [17:19] Dr_Willis, I always get & and && confused, so that is why I want to implement ; should be easier for me to remember, seems as though it is like a new line, and doesn't run till after the first command completes. [17:19] Milp_main: maybe you can boot into runlvl 3, do start x and check the output your're getting from X [17:19] ActionParsnip: I think that this it due to that the gamepad isnt calibrated or whatever...but...I have no idea how to do that [17:19] LovehinaX: you could look at the manufacturers site to see if they support Linux. I'd get zsnes running first as muppen has extra complications with joypad plugins tc [17:19] shane2peru: its 'command continuation' not a newline. bash also has a \ type feature to have VERY VERY long command lines. [17:20] LovehinaX: check jscalibrate to calibrate it, may help [17:20] shane2peru: && may be what you want. [17:20] ActionParsnip: isnt jscalibrate outdated and not supported in Lucid? [17:20] Dr_Willis, right, I just continue to dabble with bash cli, no real formal training. :) Thanks for the info. [17:21] shane2peru: it pays to read thet advanced bash scripting guide,. and track down a copy of the Oreily's using Bash book. [17:21] !man [17:21] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [17:21] ActionParsnip: Im using jscal instead...but...I dont know what to type in the device thingy... [17:21] thx all [17:21] Hi all , i have been trying to upgrade from Karmic to Lucid from India , over the net for past 2 days, but I find the mirrors are too slow like a 5 to 6 kbps , any information i might be missing? [17:21] Dr_Willis, yes, I have scoured the web many a time for bash info, probably should get me a copy of Oreily's book, some day. :) [17:22] LovehinaX: muppen64 is also undeveloped these days ;) [17:22] hi guys! [17:22] Hey, just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook its awsome! [17:22] can anybody pls recommend me an app that can convert jpeg files into gif files? [17:22] ActionParsnip: I ment the plus version [17:22] shane2peru: found one in the bargin bins once. (an earlier edition) but the info is still good :) [17:22] LovehinaX: last update for "news" on the site was 2005 === calibre_ is now known as zela [17:23] remoteCTRL: youi want a command line? or gui tool? [17:23] ActionParsnip: I know that...Im not using that one [17:23] LovehinaX: yeah looks like its in google code [17:23] Dr_Willis, well, I will have to wait till I get back to the Good ole USA, there isn't any bargain bins here in Peru. [17:23] Dr_Willis: prefer commandline? [17:23] ActionParsnip: also...why isnt there a place in Ubuntu where I can se all my device...like a controll panel? [17:23] remoteCTRL: the imagemagick tools can do that [17:23] Dr_Willis: that is cli? [17:24] remoteCTRL: convert file.jpg file.gif [17:24] yes.. thats what you asked for... :) [17:24] !cli | remoteCTRL [17:24] remoteCTRL: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[17:28] it's an intel chipset, but as far as I understand ac97 is a standard ... communication? ... type for all ac97 based chipsets, so the same configuration would work for all of them. I may be wrong. [17:28] hey guys i need some interesting help [17:28] chanopt [17:28] so... more a standard. [17:29] LovehinaX: no idea man. i dont use joypads [17:30] But to troubleshoot the problem, I'm trying to understand, does application audio get sent to pulse then to alsa? Or the other way around?

How do I get it to save the bridge and the settings for eth0 and eth2 to stay passive? Many thanks.

Use details: versions, what are you doing, what is (not) happening etc. And only repeat after 10 minutes or so [20:15] anyone here has ever done any video encoding in ubuntu lucid (10.04)? [20:16] Joker_-_: you should be fine with handbrake, it includes it's own versions of ffmpeg as far as I know, which is why it isn't in the repo [20:16] ActionParsnip does it switch off autodetection then? [20:16] Nakaori: yes if an xorg.conf file exists it will override udev [20:16] trism: yup, but it has no video editing function at all [20:16] trism: I don't wanna rip dvds, I just wanna endit/encode some video footage [20:16] Joker_-_: Pitivi, OpenShot, etc. Check out the Ubuntu Software Center [20:17] ah okay thanks ActionParsnip ill try [20:17] Joker_-_: can't help with that [20:17] trism: hence my primary point: it's easyer to hack the whole world's softwares, music and movies than to edit and encode you own legit video [20:17] Joker_-_: LiVE i believe its called [20:17] you could give it a shot.

However, if installing the "ubuntu-desktop" package would be the solution to amarok then that would mean amarok is missing a dependency somewhere along the way. using the server release isn't "the problem". [20:37] not realy [20:38] i'll part sr for the troubs [20:38] Aeon_Dragon_: Then it would be better to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere.

[20:51] taggie, maybe some boot option wil help, like noapic and that stuff, don'T know the exact commands, but i'm sure someone in this room does :) [20:51] Nakaori: read some samples online, you will need to specify resolution and refresh rates [20:52] nice way to say thank by the way [20:52] ubutom, tried two different machines, and all the bios options i could find. [20:52] taggie, didnt mean the bios, did mean giving the live-cd some parameters on the way [20:52] ActionParsnip okay thank you [20:53] ok php works in htdocs but not in userdir [20:53] Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer?

[20:54] but in order to configure the user dir i think you have to do that from apche [20:54] taggie, but how that works with the modern cds i don't know, with the old it gave a screen before booting and they could be appended to the boot line [20:54] taggie, same here :) [20:54] BinariDragon: just localserver [20:54] !webmin | BinariDragon, exs [20:54] BinariDragon, exs: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[20:55] guntbert, i have to disagree , just have webmin install all the files for you [20:55] luislobo: if you have less than 3gb ram the 32bit is fine, if you do lots of encoding then 64bit will help, it will also mean you can install more than 3Gb ram without issue [20:56] !ask| sechs [20:56] sechs: 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).

[21:05] ActionParsnip, been there :) [21:05] with other distros I compiled everything from scratch, now I see ubuntu upgrading the kernel automaticaly [21:06] woodworks: my experience is that it depends on how much you've "tweaked" your install. a default install upgrades just fine mostly [21:06] luislobo: http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html [21:06] I read that my problem would solve not using gnome, its that true?

[21:06] LinuxAdmin, my way of doing kernel in ubuntu is to create a kernel package bundle (headers+linux+source) [21:06] hdon: what ubuntu version are you running? [21:06] luislobo: found that in 55 seconds [21:06] ActionParsnip, skype ? [21:06] misse- ah, that makes sense, was wondering why there would be upgrade if its not recommended [21:06] woodworks: isn't an online upgrade over dial-up just as timeconsuming? I would prefer a one-time download that can be reused [21:06] Ubuntu: Lbreakout2 editor, goodies arent displayed, why? [21:06] hdon: sorry. see above ^ [21:06] freud - auto deploy?? how do you restart the service?? sudo service tomcat6 stop or the script directly [21:06] HsH, i don't understand, where was any hint of ubuntu version mentioned except where i said "karmic?" please explain :) [21:07] guntbert, i just upgraded to Lucid [21:07] is ekiga based on gstreamer? [21:07] I know how to compile a kernel in ubuntu, but I couldn't undestand yet if I can get automatic kernel upgrade if I make some changes [21:07] misse- don't know about timing yet, just getting prepared, upgrading to dedicated line next week (high speed not available in my area) [21:08] I try to explain what happened to me [21:08] Anybody try to install/run live on an HP 2740p tablet laptop? I get blank screen after usplash, no GDM/X. 386 or x64, same behavior [21:08] woodworks: for me; I usually save my settings for apps which I edit the config for a lot and then do a fresh install (leaving my data-partition intact of course) [21:08] phylock: there are scripts in a /bin folder that are supposed to shutdown/startup the tomcat server...i'll just google some more [21:08] woodworks: that's too bad with your connection and all, where're you from? [21:08] hi all. i'm trying to install skype to lucid. in Software Sources i have enabled two sources: [21:08] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner [21:08] http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (Source Code) [21:08] LinuxAdmin: you won't unless you name your own kernel exactly as the shipped one. and in that case, your changes were lost [21:08] I had OCFS2 on top of DRBD on my cluster node [21:08] misse- kentucky hills [21:08] hdon: did you add the partner repo? then "reload"? [21:08] HsH: beat me to it. thanks lol [21:09] HsH, yes, oh, you're right. hmm! i guess upgrading did not upgrade my sources.list?! HOW could it not upgrade my sources.list??? [21:09] freud - what if you start it as a service "sudo service tomcat6 stop" [21:09] * hdon upgraded via the Software Update GUI [21:09] last week I decided to restart my server and DRBD haven't started [21:09] can anyone help me with my LBreakout2 problem? [21:09] so, my cluster was down [21:09] woodworks: uhm, kentucky as in U.S.? [21:09] hdon: because partner repositories are disabled by default, and the upgrade tool sees disabled repositories as comments and ignores them [21:09] ahhh [21:09] I cant refresh youtube videos nor use the bottom bar inside the video screen. How can I fix that? [21:10] hdon: "other" repos normally get disabled during an upgrade and you should adapt them later [21:10] rww, thanks for the help [21:10] I realized that was a problem with DRBD module, it couldn't load [21:10] and to others :) [21:10] phylock:sure thing... [21:10] How do I launch firefox from a command?\ [21:10] I'm very fresh into Linux use and I'm looking for a Xubuntu help server here in IRC. Does anyone know if there is one, and how I can access it? [21:10] LinuxAdmin, so you want to disable automatic kernel upgrade ? [21:10] misse- yep, cell phone is still 2g, copper based tele lines, sat is only hi speed option [21:10] ok i fixed my sources.list thank you all :) [21:10] sorry, shall i repeat my question? if I install an older version of ubuntu, my problem will solve? or quiting gnome? [21:10] i see skype package now [21:10] mmfb: you can ask Xubuntu questions here or in #xubuntu [21:10] so, I configured GRUB to use older kernel version and everything is working again [21:10] which font is default in ubuntu? [21:10] I don't want to disable kernel upgrade, ofcourse not [21:11] woodworks: wow :/ I live in sweden. Grew up in a town of 10.000 people. got ADSL in like.. 99-00 [21:11] but I can't have DRBD working with the recent kernel [21:11] sans [21:11] HsH: ok [21:11] phylock:still wonder why the scrpt don't work, but that's another question...one more forya, i've entered new users in the users.xml, but they don't get recognized(manager role) [21:11] woodworks: and now they're installing a MAN in my mothers house [21:11] sechs: i'd say go ahead and repeat the question. maybe someone will see it and help you out that didn't see it before [21:12] no?... okay... how can it be that I can type åäö (swedish letters) here but not in browser-search-window [21:12] åäö [21:12] I think package managers would deal with this kind of dependencies, I can't undestand how I couldn't start a module just because a kernel upgrade [21:12] woodworks: i'm right there with you on the being stuff with sat for internet :/ [21:12] cyborgsmurf: för att svenska är lamt [21:12] I'm having trouble running Wine under Xubuntu 9.10. Everytime I try to run a game it is VERY slow, even with older games. Ex. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory [21:12] wouldn't apt-get be smart enough to deal with this? [21:13] misse- well, its wierd 1/2 mile away is fiber optic cable, but we are on a spur road and no plans by phone company to upgrade for at least 6 months, closest town is 12 miles away [21:13] gothenburg: tack, det hjälpte verkligen... inte [21:13] what's the best way to become linux sysadmin? [21:13] I have problems with flash player on firefox, I cannot adjust the timing in youtube videos and any icon inside the video screen cannot be selected [21:13] freud - there is some problems with CATALIN something path you have to fix, but thats a loong time ago and i don't remeber exactly how. [21:13] mmfb: are you sure you've installed the proper graphics driver? And are you starting wolfenstein with an -opengl switch (if supported)? [21:14] evening! :D [21:14] LinuxAdmin: it's not apt-get's job to deal with module upgrades, it's the kernel and module packages'. If your module doesn't use dkms, it isn't going to get autorebuilt by the kernel package scripts. [21:14] how can I know which video cards I have on my pc? [21:14] woodworks: half a mile? Sounds like someone might be able to solder on a cable of his own and draw the fibre along the powerlines :P [21:14] I solved my problem, I used older kernel and I'm praying that next upgrade to the kernel has got this dependencies solved [21:15] usr_, in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA [21:15] phylock: thanks for the help, i'll just study the docs some more :) BTW the stop service worked off course [21:15] BluesKaj, thanks [21:15] Purpley: type firefox [21:16] ok, thank you. I repeat all. I have ubuntu 10.04 lts, and i have problems, it gets freezed, and i have to reestart manually, I have a p4 3800 processor, and 1 gb ram, and a nvidia graphics, gforce 5500 fx, and all worked fine with windows, but i dont want to use it anymore. I read about my problem starts with some apps, like java or flash, with firefox, I read too that gnome has some problem too. I dont know. Maybe if I install an older [21:16] version of ubuntu may it works, but I like the use of this operating system. Some solutions? [21:16] A friend of mine set up Xubuntu for me and I'm not sure how to run Wolfenstein with an opengl [21:17] Is there a way to bind buttons that arent detected by keyboard shortcuts? [21:17] lol [21:17] sechs. sind sie deutsche? === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [21:17] gee, what? i dont understand... Im spanish [21:17] Purpley: yeah, xev is used for detecting the keycode.. guess you can google "bind keys xev" [21:17] ah lol, your name is german for 6 [21:18] gee i know hehehe, its from a comic. [21:18] sechs have you tried installing the nvidia driver? [21:18] yeah, I install it. but didnt work better [21:18] gee: the german word for 6 is pronounced almost exactly like the swedish word for 6, which is spelled "sex" [21:18] I added a GTX GeForce 260 videocard to my pc but the videocard on the motherboard is not being recognized. Can I use both video cards and have extended desktop for three monitors? This is what lspci showed me: http://pastebin.com/BJ7nsfLm [21:18] mmfb, Wolfenstein is a game written for Microsoft Windows. In that case you have to install a so called Compatibility Layer (not an emulator). WINE is the most popular one. Open a terminal and enter "sudo apt-get install wine". Then install Wolfenstein from CD. [21:18] misse-, because btnx detected my mouse but wont lower the volume when I set a button to execute amixer set Master 10%- > /dev/null [21:18] Anyone got a minute to help me debug my samba setup under 10.04 Ubuntu Desktop (x86)? [21:19] gee, ich spreche Deutsch. [21:19] Purpley: does btnx still work in ubuntu? I thought not [21:19] omg my ubuntu is useless [21:19] Seta2501: how come? [21:19] misse-, actually the englisch word is spoken just that way too [21:19] aquina tut mir leid aber ich bin schota lol [21:19] misse- i contacted them about running fibe, even volunteered to do the install, they were gonna go for it then said it would cost me $4,000 USD for materials [21:19] misse-, I thought it did [21:19] phylock: http://oreilly.com/java/archive/tomcat-tips.html seems to have the answers [21:19] !ot | gee [21:19] gee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:19] I've tried the guides, I've tried the obvious stuff, I really need someone familiar with it to help think of NON-OBVIOUS things to try in pursuit of making it work. [21:19] cuz i cant get it to keep a wifi connection and i cant get it to install apps [21:19] Boot stops before it gets to login asking... something, but I can skip mount or manual something - it's a couple lines of text overlapping. suggestions? [21:19] gee was ist ein "schota"? [21:20] woodworks: for materials? how can half a mile of fibre cable and 2 connectors cost that much? [21:20] Never had this trouble in 9.10 Server [21:20] Hey anyone know of a good channel for news/talk/science/tech/etc.? [21:20] Aquina: please keep to the topic [21:20] misse- i think i was being blown off actually [21:20] NerfHerder, Offtopic but G4TV [21:20] aquina scottish. anyway. sechs when does your pc normally crash? [21:20] emhs[work], priv? [21:20] ubutom: uhm, the english word for sex yes, the english word for 6 is pronounced six :P [21:21] I've installed Wine 1.2 rc2 and I have the Wolfenstein exe file already installed. But when running Wolfenstein it is painfully slow. Unplayable, actually. The game runs fine on my laptop which is running XP MC SP2 that has slightly lower specs. [21:21] Seta2501 try to use a wired connection to connect to your LANs router. CAT 5 patchcables work flawlesly with Ethernet adapters since the're supported out of the box in most cases. [21:21] gee: it get crashed when i use internet for a long. Thats why I associated it With java, flash and firefox [21:21] misse-, woodworks if there is fibre channel and they use the old copper lines for the last part of the road they have to install a think that's could an outdoor dslam, it's pricey and maybe that's the cause they are doing it slowly [21:21] i dont have internet. i baught this laptop so i could use free internet at hotspots [21:21] woodworks: yeah sounds like it.. my mom's paying about 3000$ for the install including materials and installation. She has to prepare a cable channel from the road to the house (5 meters) [21:21] grr.. also, laptop in question's wireless is shaky. [21:21] sechs guessing there are java and flash objects on the screen then? not something i have heard of [21:22] misse-, yeah, lol, mixed that up [21:22] gee: but i think too that it's when my pc gets so hot. I think that some application gets a lot of processor. or something [21:22] *thing that'S called.. geez, I'm tired :D [21:22] sechs could just be your pc cutting off when it gets too hot then? [21:22] *hasn't seen any reply if there was one* [21:22] ubutom: ^^, that's my point.. The swedish (and deutsch) word for 6 is sounds the same as the Eng word for sex. Swedish word for sex to. [21:22] gee: maybe. But i never had that problem before. [21:23] !ot | misse- [21:23] misse-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:23] gee: i used to use windows XP and usually I use photoshop, and other heavy apps, and never gets hot. [21:23] guntbert: sry. [21:23] misse-, maybe they use the i because of prudery? :D scnr [21:23] guntbert I think you're not an operator next time I'll complain about you. [21:23] sechs google your computer model (if its not a custom build) with the word ubuntu, see if anyone else is having similar problems [21:23] how can i close a remote session [21:24] hello all [21:24] ? [21:24] trexyz: what kind of remote session? [21:24] There used to be memtest on previous Ubuntu live CDs before loading up the system, is this possible anymore? [21:24] gee: i dont want to use windows nevermore, but im having a lot of problems, and i dont have any idea to solving them [21:24] my dvd burning is extremely slow, can anyone help me with this? [21:24] ssh [21:24] my top bar is missing, can anyone help me get it back? [21:24] gee: it a custom model === matheus is now known as MatheusXD [21:24] :D [21:24] gee: I have changed some things with the years [21:25] sechs i know your pain haha, i wish i could get rid of window$, getting close now with ubuntu 10.04. [21:25] trexyz: your ssh session or someone elses? [21:25] sechs maybe look up your motherboard model [21:25] is mine [21:25] My webcam is clearly indentified as: "Bus 003 Device 004: ID 055f:c520 Mustek Systems, Inc. gSmart mini 3 Camera", yet I cant use it in any program. Can anyone help? [21:25] but is from [21:25] Aquina: guntbert was correct in calling !ot [21:25] can anyone tell if the next ubuntu (meerkat) will reintroduce settings for Indicator Applet Session? (I'm mostly concerned about the "don't ask password" setting) [21:25] can someone help me with slow dvd burning [21:25] other ip address [21:25] badnaam, depends on the speed the disc supports and soemtimes it's better to burn on lowest possible speed anyway, because it produces less faulty discs [21:25] gee: now Im doing. thanks i tell you what saint google says [21:25] ultimaexodus: being identified on usb-bus doesn't mean anything if theres no driver to handle it [21:26] ubutom the same disc on teh same drive burn much faster on windows 7 [21:26] sechs ok, could just be an incompatibility [21:26] Reposting because it probably got lost in the crowd: I've installed Wine 1.2 rc2 and I have the Wolfenstein exe file already installed. But when running Wolfenstein it is painfully slow. Unplayable, actually. The game runs fine on my laptop which is running XP MC SP2 that has slightly lower specs. [21:26] mmfb, unfortunately games run slow sometimes when using WINE. The call translations consume more computing time. Have you checked the AppDB on winehq.org for Wolfenstein? [21:26] how do I redirect the output of grep to a file so that the search terms are also color encoded, with ANSI or whatever bash uses [21:26] somewhat slow might be fine but this is painstakingly slow [21:26] llutz: what do I need to do to make it work? [21:26] badnaam, maybe you got dma disabled in ubuntu [21:26] k ill try somewhere else this place is too busy [21:26] mmfb are you talking about return to castle wolfenstein? [21:26] ubutom how do I find out and enable it? [21:26] ubutom, less faulty or fewer faulty ? :) [21:26] misse- do you know a solution? [21:26] Yeah, but the multiplayer only version; Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory [21:26] dont boot with EVGA brand usb third monitor connection plugged into usb. It just corrupted my ubuntu 10.4..must reinstall...sigh [21:27] trexyz: you can do a number of things. from the session: typ "exit". from outside the session: ps auz|grep sshd to find the process associated with the session and then kill it with "kill " [21:27] BluesKaj, more unfaulty :P [21:27] aquina: No, I haven't. But I'll do that now. [21:27] misse- thx [21:27] mmfb there is a linux version. you wont need the .exe (thats a windows file). look up the linux one [21:27] badnaam, should be adjustable with hdparm [21:27] you claim a monitor corrupted your entire os? [21:27] that sounds pretty unlikely [21:27] !dma | badnaam [21:27] less faultry implies they're all faaulty some less faulty than others \ [21:27] badnaam: dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hardware transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA [21:27] well [21:28] datta you can run "gnome-panel &" fom a shell. To spawn one right click on your desktop - the menue will help. [21:28] ubutom hdparam? [21:28] BluesKaj, well, who knows? :D The discs are not always the same quality [21:28] oh ok I see, let me look through the docs, thanks! [21:28] I havnt had problems before ..with several diag boots non gui it freezes at usb audio [21:28] yw [21:28] h00k, what do you mean by "correct in calling"? [21:29] tried rebooting with an older grub alaso [21:29] Aquina: guntbert was correct for calling !ot, regardless if op status or not. [21:29] I went to LGD and it gave me the link to that .exe file. Not sure why. I just thought that some of the game on LGD just assumed you had Wine or a similar program. [21:29] ubutom, my wife is an english teacher , she corrects me for that mistake all the time :) [21:29] Is it possible to have my .profile folders somewhere other than ~/ [21:29] mmfb there is defanetly a linux version. i used it before [21:29] gee: maybe is a problem with drivers? but I dont know how to install them!! [21:29] BluesKaj, hehe, well, she has to know :D [21:29] urlwallace.. certainly sounds totally unrelated to monitor config [21:29] sechs yeah thats most likely your problem [21:30] Ah, I found it. [21:30] thanks rellis Ill troubled shoot in that direction [21:30] mmfb good :) [21:30] nm, guess I had to press ESC to access the old Ubuntu menu [21:30] gee: arghhhhhhh i hate that >__< i will try now [21:30] gee: thank you very much. [21:30] * BluesKaj stops trolling for grammaticals [21:30] mmfb no problem [21:30] gee: maybe at synaptic i could found them? [21:30] KenBW2: it's possible I guess, but what do you want to achieve? [21:30] Hey, sorry for asking this here, but was wondering if anyone could tell me any pros and cons over ubuntu/mint vs. pclinuxos? and of course, gnome vs kde in both cases. please message me. thank you. [21:30] sechs i had to make a driver from scratch for a wireless card before...that was fun [21:31] ubutom as per the docs I issue the command mount | egrep 'udf|iso9660' with a disc in my drive, it outputs nothing [21:31] mmfb, I' sorry to hear that. Maybe Valve will release it's GNU7Linux client soon. I think Wolfenstein will be playable then. :-) [21:31] they did make a linux version of RTCW [21:31] trying to migrate from w7 here =) [21:31] test1_, oh cool [21:31] misse-: (1) to be able to share my home folder across installs without sharing profiles, and (2) to not have to wade through a huge list in apps that show .folders [21:31] Aquina: I appreciate all you help, but my problem has been solved. gee told me of a Wolfenstein linux client and I've found it. [21:31] KenBW2: download ubuntu tweak and there is a section under "Petrsonalize" that will allow you to do just tha [21:31] test1_, how is it going so far? [21:32] !upstart [21:32] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [21:32] badnaam, try hdparm -d /yourdrive [21:32] h00k, he was not since I wanted to figure out wheter that guy was only able to speak german and whether he needed help. That was the whole intention. [21:32] coz_: that's what i just asked =) ubuntu/mint vs pclinuxos and kde vs gnome [21:32] gee: i dont understand a thing!! i will get crazy. I will search at asus web. [21:32] I have another question. How do you "uninstall" programs on Linux? Ones that aren't within the "Add/Remove Applications"? [21:32] ubutom I don't know what the yourdrive is [21:32] ubuntu tweak will allow you to change the default folder locations [21:32] badnaam, with a sudo and where /yourdrive is the device name [21:32] I've manually installed the synergy plus deb; I force installed qsynergy, not wanting to install the stock synergyc/s binaries, but now I'm getting a persistent warning about a broken package related to qsnyergy [21:32] guys, how do i install otf font in ubuntu ? [21:32] aquina i speek english. dont you worry [21:32] how can I suprress that warning? [21:33] it's weired that open system does not support open fonts better. [21:33] clarification: I mean the warning that's showing up in the overhead menubar on my desktop [21:33] test1_, well in all honesty I if going ubuntu I would stick with regular ubuntu and if you want that windows 7 look go with kde which had that look first or if you want sensible default theme go with gnome...i prefer gnome myself but i would not go linux mint only becasue it is ... i believe... always on version behind [21:33] ubutom how do I find out the device name? [21:33] badnaam, look in drive utitily under system [21:33] Haagimus: thanks, ill give it a try [21:33] Aquina: It's over, the conversation was not appropriate for this channel. Please move along :) [21:34] Hello. I just need someone's help deciphering the meaning of a message kicked back to me when I attempt to run "apt-file search [file path]" and then debsums -a [key word]|grep [package name]. I am just verifying that encrypted ZIP files kicked in the scan results for KlamAV - are the original installation files (i.e. not altered, and therefore not a virus). [21:34] test1_, rather always "one" version behind [21:34] mmfb, is that version free? Can you post a link then for mee too? :-) [21:34] badnaam, there your partitins are listed and also your drive, with iot's device name, mine is /dev/sr0 [21:34] Aquina: http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=852003&k=8cfa68611a15eb88047633f183bab26ea72c2ac876be407616174e226e9b1592 [21:34] ubutom sorry bit of a noob here, where can I get this partition list? [21:35] It's free! :) [21:35] coz_: i've only tested live cd-s with gnome so far and i did quite like it, was just wondering if there were any major pro's and con's. additionally, i'm a bit tired of the "windows look" =) how about pclos vs ubuntu then? i've tested both and liked pclos the best (by testing i mean check the live-cd for 20 minutes) [21:35] badnaam, sudo hdparm -d /dev/sr0 would enable or disable dma mode on my drive for example [21:35] <_marco_> hello! [21:35] KenBW2: NP hope its what you were triying to do [21:35] heeeey...guuuuuys === Orochi is now known as Orochium [21:35] coz_: of course, #ubuntu's ten zillion irc users beats pclos' 19, but aside from that =) [21:35] test1_ ubuntu is, in my opinion the most advanced and most widely supported. [21:35] h00k, I don't understand what you mean, but it was nice to have a conversation with you. :-) [21:36] can anyone help me with installation problem? [21:36] badnaam, I#m not using englisch in my menus, can only guess whats it called in your system it's the second dropdown menu in system on top of screen [21:36] So when I run "apt-file search /usr/xulrunner-1.9.1.9/libxul.so, and then debsums on the resulting package name - I get this message "debsums: package xulrunner is not installed". Is this anything to be concerned about? [21:36] <_marco_> I love Ubuntu [21:36] <_marco_> I have Ubuntu [21:36] i second that _marco_ [21:36] :-) [21:36] same lol [21:36] Orochium, ask away [21:36] <_marco_> I use Ubuntu [21:36] Haagimus: are you talking about the Change Default Folders section? [21:36] I basically just (literally) downloaded Ubuntu 10.04, when I try to get it to boot from CD, the screen turns blue, and there's some icon at the bottom of the page, thats like some icon = a little guy in a circle, but it just hangs there, blue screen, and that icon [21:37] how do I start a process as a user with upstart ? do I just do this? su user exec /bin/foo ? [21:37] never does anything after [21:37] KenBW2: yes [21:37] _marco_: do you have any specific questions for us? [21:37] this is on a Dell e310 [21:37] <_marco_> nope [21:37] hello [21:37] arent there normally problems with dell hardware? [21:37] hey guys, i got a beginner question.... how do i get root rights for my account? [21:37] Haagimus: that seems to only edit what would normally be in user-dirs.dirs [21:37] !sudo | felix__ [21:37] felix__: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [21:37] Anyone got the "411" on this - eyee, eyee !? [21:37] no, been running linux Mint 8 and 9 flawlessly, I only ever seem to have problems with ubuntu distros [21:37] felix_ in terminal use the su command [21:37] Haagimus: i'm after moving all the .profile folders away from my normal files [21:38] where i can get driwers for the web cam [21:38] or use the sudo command [21:38] Orochium, from where did you download ? [21:38] I remember trying to get 8.04, 8.10 etc working... [21:38] Blue: from ubuntu.com? [21:38] KenBW2: hmmm [21:38] orochium: Mint, huh? How is it for driver support? [21:38] !mint [21:38] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [21:38] So, anyone else have any views on PcLinuxOS vs ubuntu? [21:38] gee: su won't get him anywhere [21:38] gee: you know how I install the .awd file, for the bios? [21:38] KenBW2: can you specifically say what you are trying to do then i guess i mis-understood i apologize [21:38] anyhow I'm installing Ubuntu currently, not mint [21:38] sechs afraid not, not a file type ive seen before [21:38] Orochium, I suggest you to download form the official canonical website. [21:38] hi i really need help... using lucid on my laptop i was experiencing bugs so i did a fresh install of lucid and everything was working great and all of a sudden the screen got really weird and it went black with these weird colors and lines. all i could do was turn it off from the power button, and it keeps happenning. i have a karmic startup disk and i can get it to run frokm the disk... [21:38] ...for a little while but then it happens again and i have no idea what the probem is, or if i should do a fresh install with my 9.10 disk or what, can someone please help me? [21:38] Aquina: link? [21:38] gee: After downloading the Wolfenstein linux client it comes out as a .run file. How do I execute the file? It asks me to choose a program to run it under and I'm not sure what to do. [21:39] uh, did anyone see my post? [21:39] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [21:39] because for some reason I thought ubuntu.com was the sight for ubuntu lol [21:39] i think im gonna stop useing ubuntu. its just not working for me [21:39] mmfb in terminal cd to the location of the file and type sudo ./nameofrunfile.run [21:39] uo3273-fvarklb: we hear you [21:39] Aquina: thanks thats EXACTLY what I downloaded [21:39] ubutom I get this error when I type that command HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [21:39] gee: and a rom file?

[21:40] sechs lol sorry nope [21:40] Haagimus: i want my normal files (the unhidden ones) in /home/kenneth/ but all the .mozilla, .purple, .config etc folders somewhere else - maybe even to ~/.profiles/.mozilla [21:40] make sense? [21:40] uo3273-fvarklb: sorry no [21:40] I looked in disk utility and though I can't say for sure it seems the dvd drive is /dev/sr0 [21:40] <_marco_> See ya, guys, I go out [21:40] gee: i hate asus. [21:40] Orochium, dod you verify the media with md5sum or by checking it form the LiveCD? [21:40] badnaam, yeah, tried it with mine, got the same error [21:40] yes [21:40] do you mean me orochium? [21:40] sechs yeah not the best make [21:40] checksums were fine [21:40] K - guntbert doesn't know. Anyone else wanna take a stab at my issue? [21:40] KenBW2: ahhh ok i see what your asking. I'm afraid I do not know the answer to that question, sorry [21:41] man I only seem to have problems with ubuntu, maybe I just stick with Mint Isadora then, this is like the fourth different Ubuntu distro I've tried thats never worked [21:41] Haagimus: ah well, thanks anyway [21:41] badnaam, I think it should have been unmounted first :( [21:41] 8.04, 8.10, now 10.04 [21:41] KenBW2: could be possibly a setting in the gnome-config [21:41] Orochium, awry colored screen can result from hardware problems like display adapters, touch screens and other hardware. I recommend you to perfomr a text driven isntall without booting into Live-CD mode. === KungFuBear|Bed is now known as KungFuBear [21:41] anyone here know how i install motherboard drivers, with .awd and .rom extensions? [21:41] either it was always missing some basic generic driver or something else, blah [21:41] ubutom oh, how do I do that? [21:41] I'm not even making it into live cd mode [21:41] aquina, so I'm not even sure what you're talking about [21:41] KenBW2: i would suspect that you would have to change system settings to do it since most everything you install defaults to your home folder for the setting files [21:41] Orochium: this is no place for ranting - we can try to help you though [21:41] therefore I will assume you are spouting random TS lines <3 [21:41] hi! what does means ? E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) [21:41] badnaam, I just opened it [21:42] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [21:42] orochium have you tried the alternate cd? [21:42] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [21:42] nah, pass, I'm already turned off. [21:42] later. [21:42] Has anyone used "apt-file search" and "debsums" in terminal to verify footprints of system files match those of the original installation files? [21:42] Orochium, try the alternate CD and install with a less graphical isntaller. Alternatively file a bug report on launchpad.net or check whether your hardware is supported on ubuntuhcl.org. [21:42] ubutom opened it? what? [21:43] badnaam, I opened the drive [21:43] badnaam, meaning ejected the lid and closed it again [21:43] ubutom ok, I see, and then run that command? [21:43] mmfb, if the file is in your home/user then in the terminal just do ./nameofile.run [21:43] badnaam, have you found the name of your drive? [21:43] I'm trying to get compiz working with KDE in 10.04 and I'm seeing this error: http://pastebin.com/iZrn1hfu [21:43] Aquina: i am having that problem with the colors too on my sdcreen...

[21:44] alket: why would you want to do that? [21:44] ubutom don't quote me though [21:44] i guess i will just follow everything said for orochium [21:44] lol i guess its my lucky day in a way [21:44] mmfb tried sudo ./runfile.run [21:44] someone else with the samne issue [21:44] badnaam, try sudo hdparm -i, it will give you a list [21:44] ubutom also I id the following command accoriding to the docs and saw a bunch of output dmesg | grep ata | more [21:44] guntbert, because of my graphic card Readon x700 [21:44] guntbert and h00k, why are you not opped or half-opped? [21:44] mmfb: What is the output of "ls -l runfile.run"? [21:44] Yeah. I get command not found === studyurnm3 is now known as misnix [21:45] badnaam, in that list you will see the active mode the drive is using, in my case the star is at udma5 [21:45] appl6: space after -l? [21:45] mmfb: Yes. [21:45] badnaam, which is good, something like pio would be very, very slow ;) [21:45] Aquina: Freenode discourages people from remaining opped in a channel, there is no need for it :) [21:46] alket: old radeon cards seem to well supported by the open source driver [21:46] ubutom you mean in the output of dmesg | grep ata | more [21:46] ?

[21:46] The file is save to my "Download" folder. [21:46] mmfb: So you're not actually trying to run "runfile.run", you're trying to run "et-linux-2.55.x.86.run"? [21:47] it will show the current mode the drive is working at and then we will know if it's wrong or not badnaam [21:47] appl6: I should type in runfile and not actually the name of the file? [21:47] ubutom, the star is on udma5 [21:47] mmfb no [21:47] badnaam, then it's good [21:47] mmfb: No, you should type the actual name of the file. Of course, it also helps if you tell _us_ the name of the file, so we know what the error messages mean. [21:47] badnaam, what speed do your discs support? [21:47] mmfb that was just me calling it that for example purposes [21:47] how do i upgrade from 9.04 jaunty to 10.04? [21:47] mmfb, where is the file located? [21:48] badnaam, most only support 8x speed [21:48] do I have to go to 9.19 KK first? [21:48] alket: hmm ... I don't expect lucid to work ok with an ancient kernel to be honest, but I do not *know* [21:48] GreenGuy: you'll have to upgrade through 9.10 first [21:48] !upgrade | GreenGuy [21:48] GreenGuy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:48] mmfb are you in the Downloads folder in terminal?

[21:51] mmfb: 'cd Downloads/' If you put a first shash (/Downloads) it will look to the root of the drive. If you don't, it will assume you want to go there from your current working directory (probably /home/username/Downloads) [21:52] badnaam, your welcome [21:52] does anyone know how to mount a partition with the linux-kernel ntfs driver ( non-fuse version) ?

[22:03] ultimaexodus: most hardware support by the way is built in to the Linux kernel, but not all manufactures support Linux propery or at all, so a lot of hardware support has been reverse enginered, which is a rather complex programming task [22:03] alecs: is there anyother program that could be locking up the package databases? eg: synaptic [22:03] ultimaexodus: may be able to configure your hardware, but it won't be that easy [22:04] sebsebseb: okej [22:04] can some one help me please [22:04] Haagimus: That was mentioned recently in a security alert. If you hook it up to ubuntu, appearantly you can access all the files without the pin number. [22:04] alecs: alternately, have you made any recent changes to the sources.list file? [22:04] ultimaexodus: how much RAM you got? [22:04] niku: no [22:04] alecs: what did you do before those errors started?

[22:05] ljsoftnet: I think it's something like "mplayer dvd://" [22:05] appl6: http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=852003&k=8cfa68611a15eb88047633f183bab26ea72c2ac876be407616174e226e9b1592 [22:05] sebsebseb: it just starts...and nothing happens [22:05] banker247: system>preferences>startup programs or somthing ilke that, and add evoution... i think [22:06] ljsoftnet: Check out the mplayer man page and you'll see exactly how to do it, "man mplayer". [22:06] ultimaexodus: you need to provide specific details, or people can't help you properly [22:06] So nobody has an MadCatz R.A.T. 9 gaming mouse and can tell me if it's compatible with Ubuntu? [22:06] ultimaexodus: what just starts, and with what nothing happens? [22:06] nikitis, never had a gaming mouse in my whole life :) [22:06] Ztyx: do u know, the drive location of an external optical drive, i've tried dvd:// with no luck [22:07] mmfb any closer? [22:07] ubutom: Sad... Go get one! [22:07] gee: I wish [22:07] ljsoftnet: Nope, sorry. :-/ I got to go, but good luck! [22:07] nikitis, nah, office mouse served me good :) [22:07] I have a wireless netgear card that isn't working [22:07] iwconfig and ifconfig both show it there, but networking icon says "network disabled" [22:08] i get an Invalid PBLK length message when ubuntu boots up. this is a fresh install, and it never did it before....pls advise [22:08] gee: keeps telling me libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. [22:08] how do i play DVD from mplayer with External Optical Drive?

[22:09] rcscomp: so yeah try and get it working natively :) if no luck, you can try Ndiswrapper and probably use a Windows driver for it [22:09] sebsebseb: thing is, its worked before [22:09] i deleted some .files under ~/.* and so my system cant recognize any available wireless networks like it used to, please help... [22:10] ljsoftnet: commercial DVD? [22:10] gee: Xubuntu 9.10 [22:10] but this time, the lights don't go back and forth, the one light just stays on [22:10] rcscomp: when did it stop working then? [22:10] sebsebseb: yes and original [22:10] alecs: I don't remember where apt stores its staus files - I try to find them right now [22:10] ljsoftnet: ok you will need to install DVD support, since legal reasons Ubuntu does not have that pre installed [22:10] sebsebseb: just now, turned on the laptop and plugged in the card and no go. iwconfig still shows the card, although its not in ifconfig any more [22:10] nikitis, doesn't look bad. Well, you could buy it, try it and if it doesn't work return it [22:11] mmfb ok, i'll let you know if i get it running [22:11] ljsoftnet: libdvdcss2/3 found in the medibuntu repo [22:11] !medibuntu | ljsoftnet [22:11] ljsoftnet: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [22:11] :p [22:11] Can anyone help me with getting sound to work on my laptop. It was working fine up until like yesterday [22:11] ubutom: I'm sure it works on a basic level. How does Ubuntu determine the DPI of a mouse? [22:11] guntbert: thanks [22:11] sebsebseb: i just need the drive location of the usb External Optical drive [22:11] ljsoftnet: uhmm /media /mnt ??? /etc/fstbab ? [22:11] ljsoftnet: probably /media/something [22:11] On my laptop I have ubuntu 10.04. When it is loading something the touchpad doesn't work [22:12] ubutom: is there a /etc/ file for mice which tells ubuntu to use a certain DPI? [22:12] I think it stopped working right after an update. [22:12] ljsoftnet: thats /etc/fstab [22:12] nikitis, I'm not sure about that, never had one that was able to switch, but maybe the mouse itself does that [22:12] could anyone not be an asshole and please redirect me to a channel where i could get help with proxy redirecting and vmware [22:12] mmfb: Did you get my last message? [22:12] I'm unable to connect to WEP wireless networks with a Netgear usb adapter, any ideas how to fix this? [22:12] appl6: No I haven't. [22:12] !language MrAlexandro [22:12] mmfb: My Internet connection is dying (thanks Comcast), so I can't search. All I can say is that you need to download a libgtk-1.2 package from an older version of Ubuntu (which you can find by searching for it at packages.ubuntu.com). Maybe someone else can pick up from here. Ubuntu uses libgtk-2.0 now, which is why you don't have the older version. [22:12] ultimaexodus: uhmm I don't know [22:13] An fstab entry for a USB external drive is processed at boot, right? [22:13] ubutom: sorry :/ [22:13] Appl6: Get a new ISP. Speak with your money [22:13] I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg [22:13] ultimaexodus: ask again in a bit with all the detaills, maybe even try ##linux and be sure to tell them your on Ubuntu [22:13] sebsebseb: /etc/fstab is not a drive location [22:13] By the way, folks, MeanEYE rocks. [22:13] ljsoftnet: indeed, but [22:13] Just thought y'all should know that. [22:13] !fstab | ljsoftnet [22:13] Appl6: Haha, that might be the issue. I'll look for it now and update you guys soon. [22:13] ljsoftnet: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [22:13] mmfb appl6 that is the exact thing i am looking for just now haha [22:14] sebsebseb: thanks maan...Il do that :) and...Il hang in there [22:14] haha :$ *shy* [22:14] sebsebseb: im not looking for drive partitions [22:14] guntbert: are we speaking of /var/cache/apt folder ? [22:15] ljsoftnet, try the drive management wizard from menu [22:15] ljsoftnet, also displays device names [22:15] ubutom: exactly where is that? where do i start? [22:16] mmfb: gee: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 [22:16] alecs: I'm not sure, but in the meantime you could try to use aptitude instead of apt-get [22:16] ljsoftnet, second location in system menu, the thing with a drive icon [22:16] Appl6 thanks so much [22:16] guntbert: my synaptic and update manager crashes as well [22:16] Appl6: How do I know which to download? [22:17] ljsoftnet, the same location the drive thingy is located and update management [22:17] mmfb: Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu? [22:17] *driver [22:17] will ubuntu work okay on windows 7 with 2gigs of ram in vmware? [22:17] Kane_Hart, depends [22:18] Appl6: Where can I find that out? [22:18] alecs: from wikipedia: /var/lib/apt/lists/ : storage area for state information for each package resource specified in sources.list - are there any files? [22:18] Appl6 having problems with the deb now lol [22:18] Kane_Hart, dependswin7 also need some of the RAM [22:18] I have done a little more work based on the troubleshooting guide and my card shows as "DISABLED" in lshw -C. How do I enable it? [22:18] hola [22:18] mmfb: Paste here the results of "uname -m". [22:18] gee: "Problems"? [22:18] I need to compile some code id give it 1gig ram and the cpu is like 2.5ghz duo and this would only be all via SSH no gui [22:18] appl6: i686 [22:18] i am running lucid, the application "System>Preference>Power Management", is it supposed to have an "On Battery Tab" [22:18] guntbert: yes .... here are a lot of files [22:18] Kane_Hart, so you can't really expect win7 to run great while the vm is running, if you give it more than 512MB it will be even slower [22:19] Appl6 yeah doesnt want to install because the one i have is >= the one i've downloaded [22:19] Having som audiotrouble in ubuntu 10.04, If i start firefox before spotify or antything else, the sound only works in firefox (yuotube etc), but if I start spotify first, the sound only works in spotify [22:19] Kane_Hart, should work [22:19] mmfb: At the bottom of the page you'll see "Download libgtk1.2", choose the i386 one. [22:19] okay better yet then. Macbook osx10 4gigs ram duo 2.4ghz [22:19] Can anyone help me with a [errno 5] i/o error in Ubuntu 10.04 install? No luck with the official fix... =[ [22:20] alecs: look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9436138 post #4 [22:20] Octo_: an input/output error could point to issues with your hard drive [22:20] appl6: That was strange. [22:20] i am missing "On Battery" tab in my System>Preference>Power Management, is this the default case in Lucid? [22:20] appl6: After downloading my browser shut down [22:21] It's a brand new WD 1Tb, I hope not... XP went on just fine, but can't get ubuntu to work... [22:21] :) [22:21] Octo_: ntfs?

[22:22] guntbert: same problem [22:23] nmvictor: here yes [22:23] gee: You're entering uncertain territory. You can pass --force-downgrade to dpkg, but this is risky business, and could seriously mess up your system. [22:23] how would i go about making a feature suggestion for a future version of ubuntu? [22:23] gee: If you really want to play this game, make sure you have a backup now. [22:23] custom bashprompts anyone? can you do line draws in gnome terminal? [22:23] guntbert: are you runnung Lucid, apparantely i dont have that in my Lucid powerpc [22:24] alecs: then I have to give up - I just don't know enough about apt -- sorry [22:24] nmvictor: yes, fresh installed [22:24] Vooloo, private? [22:24] Appl6 yeah not going to bother. I have my set up just the way i want it haha. [22:24] Appl6: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libglib1.2ldbl (>= 1.2.10-18) [22:24] can anyone else confirm what guntbert is saying... [22:24] Appl6 mmfb yeah thats what i got [22:25] Appl6: That's the Status I get when try to install the package. [22:25] gee: You told me something totally different. [22:25] Appl6 lol i just looked at the >= [22:26] gee: mmfb: That error is really easy to fix. Just go back to the page you downloaded the package from, and under "Other Packages Related to" you'll see "libglib1.2ldbl". Download that one, too, and install it first. [22:26] Appl6 thanks :) [22:26] I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg [22:27] Appl6 what is this package? i dont delve into this much [22:27] whodat: so the camera is usb and connected to the cable that eventually plugs into the network? [22:28] when i try to reload my synaptic package manager, i get an error message, and the same error message comes after i check for updates too [22:28] Apple: The i386 package, again?

[22:28] list cache : [22:28] izinucs usb dongle for cat5 cable [22:29] izinucs, usb-cat5-usb, cat5!=ethernet, just uses the same cable. [22:29] I have a windows recovery partition that I need to remove from a friend's computer so he doesn't accidentally use it. Would anyone know how to remove it and make it so that 'update grub' will not automatically re-add it? [22:29] alecs: and how did you solve it? [22:30] guntbert: " cd /var/lib/apt ; sudo rm -rf lists; mkdir -p lists/packages ; sudo chown -R root:root ./lists " [22:30] whodat: taggie ah.. then I have no answers.. to bad its usb at both ends otherwise you'd be dealing with ip issues as long as the cam works normally [22:30] *hyp* [22:31] SamuelPeterson, you wanna REMOVE it from disk or just from grub? [22:31] christ [22:31] Appl6: After installing the package I get the same error message: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk1.2-common (>= 1.2.10-18.1build2) [22:31] guntbert: after that ... "sudo apt-get update" [22:31] just restarted to update my ubuntu and my computer was beeping like crazy, what gives? [22:31] mmfb Appl6 yeah i'm getting the same lol [22:31] wildbat: just from grub.

This is just ridiculous, though. Although, I expect it right now because I have no clue what I'm doing with most Linux programs. [22:34] ubuntu server 10.04 is magical. evyerything just works. when i tried to get 9.04 working like 7 months ago, nothing worked right, and it took me several days to figure it out [22:35] Masshuu, you learned meanwhile ...

[22:37] gee: mmfb: You got the same error message as last time, with a new package; you know how to fix this. === dan_ is now known as BuckWild === BuckWild is now known as BuckWilder [22:38] i guess the fact that the ubuntu 10.04 package i selected for my vps didn't even have nano, wget, man, and ive forgotten everything else i needed to install [22:38] htop [22:38] Appl6: You're underestimating my newbie-ness. lol [22:38] I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg [22:38] kb-allstar: by the way: that is no valid ppa -- instead of ppa-name you must use the real name of that ppa === BuckWilder is now known as dampysmiff [22:39] ok, thanks :) [22:39] I have a laptop which is giving me trouble.

[22:55] nobody? [22:55] that was hard [22:55] mmfb you got it yet? [22:55] hi 1 more time [22:56] Nah. I found a code I'm trying. It's downloading right now. [22:56] gee: If I have any luck I'll update you. [22:56] mmfb ok mate cheers [22:56] offensive security [22:56] mmfb i wasnt even looking to play this untill you started talking about it lol [22:57] it is hard to get a job in USA whit offensive security [22:57] !ot | Slither [22:57] Slither: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:57] ho do I reset my kb shortcuts back to defaults? [23:00] gee: Haha, sorry, man. [23:00] gee: Appl6: I think I got it! [23:00] mmfb oh what you do? [23:01] gee: wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run [23:01] gee: put that command in [23:01] mmfb newer version? lol i was just looking at that [23:02] is there a simple/safe way to backport php 5.3 to 5.2? [23:02] gee: After it's done do sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run [23:02] !prevu | banker247 [23:02] banker247: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [23:02] mmfb yup :) 3 mins to download [23:02] i have a big problem, the gnome-power-manager alwaysw show fully-charged battery [23:03] gee: During the install process I'm asked to enter an install path. It won't let me use the default path. [23:03] :S lol this isnt a good night is it [23:04] gee; Do all folder paths start with usr? or do I use my username? Ex. mmfb/local/Downloads [23:04] If your not a great programmer what is ubuntu good for? I mean linux in general has very few native games so its not a great game machine so what else is there if you to dumb to code? [23:05] mmfb i have never used xubuntu so i'm not sure if its different [23:05] Serraphyn, anything you need? [23:06] gee: mmfb: So what's the status? [23:06] MeanEYE, Well the only thing I did in windows 7 really was work on php, play Valve Games and dream of being a programmer. PHP I already work on but I don't see games that work without a ton of emulation and configuration that I think I'm to dumb for. [23:06] Appl6 mmfb seems mine has installed [23:07] gee: Does the game work? [23:07] ubuntu 9.04 Where is the default installation directory for Firefox? [23:08] Serraphyn, there are a lot of native games for linux... besides, you can always learn another programming language :D [23:08] Apple6 mmfb game works :) [23:08] anyone have experience with vtigercrm? [23:08] mmfb Apll6 no sound though. 2 secs [23:08] mmfb Appl6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory [23:08] gee: How do you gain root permissions? [23:08] mmfb: sudo [23:08] mmfb sudo [23:08] how do I know what firewall is on? ps aux does not display iptables [23:08] MeanEYE, I have tried, but the books and docks on stuff are hard for me to follow and game wise unless I want to play games from what look like mid 90s nintendo I have yet to find much for linux. [23:09] mmfb that what you mean? [23:09] mmfb: where is whatever command you want to run as root [23:09] Serraphyn, what type of games are you interested in ? [23:09] gee: CaptainTrek: Every time I try set up a directory I'm told "No write permissions " [23:10] mmfb what you typing to exicute the .run file? [23:10] mmfb: it means that whatever directory you're creating your directory in is protected so you can't create it there [23:10] MeanEYE, I used to play games like Team Fortress 2 and Force Unleashed. Also like playing MMORPGs but I don't see any that really work well in linux emulated or not [23:11] Lo everyone. [23:11] gee: sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run [23:11] Serraphyn, well, there are things like Quake Live, which is quite good. Then there's number of ported games... [23:11] mmfb, is that enemy territory? [23:11] mmfb try sudo sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run [23:11] Serraphyn: Yeah [23:11] mmfb, Where did you d/l that from I have yet to find a site it works from [23:12] isn't it time to sleep? [23:12] Serraphyn wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run [23:13] gee: Could you hook Serraphyn up? I'm busy messing with the install [23:13] mmfb already have [23:13] hello! [23:13] Vooloo: sudo iptables -L will give you a list of active rules [23:13] sechs hello again. any luck with your drivers? [23:13] i tried the memtest, and it didnt found any error, and no, im not lucky today [23:13] gee: will this work okay on amd64 system? [23:14] Hey everybody! =) [23:14] Hi Dr. Ohzie [23:14] gee: 404? [23:14] Serraphyn thats what i'm running. had to install gtklib1.2 [23:14] guntbert: right, but what process is the firewall in ps aux? or is it not there? [23:14] Vooloo ? [23:14] Is there a way to enable sata hotswap support? [23:14] Vooloo: no, it is the kernel itself [23:14] gee: 404 on et [23:14] gee, I see if I have them installed to be safe [23:14] gee: Worked. Installing now [23:14] How come "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not install the linux kernel update? [23:14] guntbert: ah [23:15] when i do a command.. sudo chmod -R a+rw /var/www [23:15] mmfb great! i'm trying to get my sound working now [23:15] I act as tech support for my family, and I've set up a remote desktop server on one of the computers with the standard Ubuntu tool. [23:15] does that enaable recursevly access to all files within folders and subfolders of this directory? [23:15] Vooloo ok sorry i must have got it wrong [23:15] it seems the new Ubuntu release has a lot of changes in the ways software are configured [23:15] banker247: yes and it is a *very bad idea* [23:15] gee, apt-get install gtklib1.2 package not found :( [23:15] now I can't even do /etc/init.d/gdm stop [23:15] From another Ubuntu machine, Applications --> Internet --> Remote Desktop Client connects and works well. [23:15] Serraphyn Vooloo wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run [23:16] guntbert why if i am the only user? [23:16] Serraphyn yeah you have to look up the packages two secs i'll get the page [23:16] o.O [23:16] okay thanks [23:16] But on my Kubuntu machine, even though the server appears in KRDC, double-clicking it results in, "Server not found" errors. [23:16] gee: found itin the dir list [23:16] hello, quakelive sometimes leaves my gamma setting changed like ingame after closing firefox, any smart command to set it back to default? [23:16] Serraphyn http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libgtk1.2 [23:16] Is there something else I need to install for KRDC to work properly with VNC? [23:17] i have more problems, seing that the one with freezes will not get solved soon. I have installed pydance, and it gets an error, and dont start running. the message that appears is "sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive." anyone know why? [23:17] matumba, you can always write your config [23:17] gee, so I install gimp I guess? [23:17] mmfb can you remember what Appl6 said that other thing we were to download was? before Libgtk1.2.deb would work? [23:17] banker247: because if anyone gets remote access to your machine he can write there too - giving rights to "all" is very rarely necessary [23:17] Serraphyn i already had it installed lol [23:18] I was gonna install it anyways as I use it alot [23:18] MeanEYE, QL works fine but after closing firefox the screen stays bright. restarting the X server works but that's a rather bad solution. [23:18] Serraphyn: You need http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 . [23:18] sechs, you got the disc of that game? [23:18] oh... [23:18] hm, matumba can we chat private... [23:18] ubutom, nop, it used to work fine, because i have it instaled on my computer. I installed it from the console.... [23:18] Serraphyn: If it complains about unsatisfiable dependencies, check that same page for the names of those packages, so you can download and install them first. [23:19] Appl6, okay thanks [23:19] dont know if im in the right place but can any one help me with installing ubuntu on a raid0 system ? [23:19] ubutom when i installed some songs it ask for the cdrom, but i not have any cd rom. I never have it [23:19] mmfb Appl6 Serraphyn i aint got no sound but i have the game working at least lol [23:20] I had a window manager before that would "minimize" the window to only a titlebar when you double clicked the tiblebar, can this be done? maybe with compiz? [23:20] sechs, homepage says : Reads DWI, SM, and KSF files, in addition to its own .dance format. [23:20] gee Appl6 http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 [23:20] er [23:20] sechs, so you have to have some sort of file for it to work, if it worked before [23:20] gee Appl6 ./setup.sh: 289: /root/.setup12491: not found [23:20] when I sudo sh et-linux* [23:20] anyone ? [23:21] sechs, nah, seems it has music included, then i don't know... have you tried reinstalling it? [23:21] Serraphyn: Why is it in /root? Where are you running setup.sh from? [23:22] Appl6, I sudo -i wget it to /root and was doing sh et-linux* [23:22] ubutom I tried, but if I install more songs in .dwi format, it dont work! if it runs I cant dance, but if I can dance it dont run! [23:22] guntbet is there a way to check which areas have fulll 777 permissions? [23:23] hhm, strange sechs [23:23] Serraphyn: Don't wget it to root. Move it to your home folder or to Downloads or something. [23:23] gee: OH THANK GOD! I finally got out of it. [23:23] gee: It's SUPER slow for some reason. [23:23] gee: It seems like every game I play runs stupid slow. [23:23] How come "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not install the linux kernel update? [23:24] my installation only finds 1 out of 2 raid0 arrays [23:24] JimmyNeutron: Does it give you any errors or warnings? [23:24] Appl6, same error just different dir. [23:24] JimmyNeutron, you answered your own ? [23:24] Appl6, It just tells me its held back [23:24] ubutom, Im getting familiar with strange things with ubuntu [23:25] Appl6, If I use the Update GUI app, than it installs [23:25] sechs, pydance has hardly much to do with ubuntu [23:25] JimmyNeutron: So is it installed or not? [23:25] I'm just trying to understand why the CLI commands don't work, but the GUI update works [23:25] mmfb i just get kicked out of the game when i try to connect to a server now lol [23:25] Gee, Appl6 : http://www.pastie.org/1001386 <-- what am I doing wrong? [23:26] Serraphyn: Make sure you chown those files, since you downloaded them as root. [23:26] is there a simple way to have a script confirm before removing a file? rm should ask for confirmation, but it doesn't ??? [23:26] Appl6, Using the CLI commands, it does not work....using the GUI update program, it works [23:26] Appl6 I did a chmod 777 on them [23:26] Serraphyn not seen that before :S [23:27] shane2peru, rm -i ... [23:27] its okay Gee, I think I'm cursed when it comes to computers [23:27] banker247: find / -perm 777 [23:27] Serraphyn: It's telling you that a file doesn't exist. Does it exist? [23:27] shane2peru, in terminal type alias, and check if there are no aliases defined for rm [23:27] ubutom i also tryed to use stepmania with wine, but my wine dont works, so my last hope was pydance. [23:27] JimmyNeutron: Once you upgrade the kernel, you can't upgrade it again to the same version. [23:27] Appl6 what file? I'm not controlling what it does after I do the .run file, did you look at the link I posted? [23:27] JimmyNeutron: So if you've already upgraded it with the GUI, then you're not going to be able to upgrade it again. [23:27] hi all [23:28] Onepamopa, hi! :D [23:28] I'm running 1Gb RAM and 2.2Ghz processor. Why are older games like Wolfenstein: EM running so slow even on the "fastest" settings? [23:28] sechs, you could always try to contact the makers of pydance [23:28] unop, thanks!!! [23:28] mmfb, compiz maybe? [23:28] mmfb, what video card? [23:28] So.. I'm looking for a way to scan all incomming connections to my linux server for proxy (3-4 defined ports) [23:28] Serraphyn: Don't get snarky. The pastebin says "./setup.sh: 273: /home/serraphyn/.setup12608: not found", where it's clearly telling you that it cannot find this particular file, "/home/serraphyn/.setup12608". I'm asking if it exists. [23:28] My XP SP2 with 1Gb RAM and 1.8Ghz processor runs it just fine. [23:28] any way of doing that ? [23:28] Appl6, it was the default kernel for 10.04, 2.6.32-21 and sudo apt-get upgrade tells me there is a 2.6.32-22 but the kernel update is being held back [23:28] I'm not sure. How can I tell? [23:28] Hey does anyone know how to use drivers built for, say, RHEL/FC or SUSE? [23:29] mmfb, videocard, driver version and compiz on or not will matter. [23:29] I got this computer with Linux preinstalled on it from a friend. [23:29] Appl6, sorry I wasn't trying to be snarky, just I didn't make that file so let me check [23:29] JimmyNeutron: Why do you say that the GUI succeeded in upgrading it? If there's still an upgrade then the GUI didn't do it either. [23:29] ubutom, i think i will install an older version of ubuntu. My pc dont like 10.04 [23:29] How can I check all that without taking a screwdriver to my tower? [23:29] Appl6 no it does not exist [23:29] Onepamopa, realtime? [23:29] mmfb, glxinfo | grep OpenGL [23:30] I'm looking for a way to scan all incomming connections to my linux server for proxy (3-4 defined ports) and then filtering them via apf [23:30] anyone? [23:30] maybe is the best way to solve my problems. I really dont want to get windows again... [23:30] Serraphyn: If you looked for it with ls, make sure you do "ls -A", otherwise it won't display hidden files. [23:30] mmfb, and go to System > Preferences > Appearances > Visual Effects, check if it's off. [23:30] Appl6, Before the update, I did a "uname -a" and it shows the kernel as 2.6.32-21. After the GUI update and a reboot, "uname -a" shows the kernel as 2.32-22. So the GUI update did update the kernel [23:30] JimmyNeutron: Try "aptitude why-not " where is the name of the package being held back. [23:31] JimmyNeutron: OK, so if you've updated the kernel, why are you trying to re-update it from the command line? It has already been upgraded. [23:31] Appl6, its not there and I did ls ~/set and ls -A [23:31] Appl6, Thanks! Re-install 10.04 from scratch again and will try that CLI command. [23:31] Daekdroom: How do I get there on Xubuntu? [23:31] sechs, well, could solve some problems [23:31] is this the right place for installation help? [23:31] mmfb, well, glxinfo | grep OpenGL has to be ran on a terminal, it's somewhere under the app menu. [23:32] anyone have a script that parses iptables log and rewrites into human readable form in another log file? [23:32] Appl6, I'm just trying to understand why the first time I ran "sudo apt-get upgrade", it didn't download and install the new kernel, 2.6.32-22 [23:32] Appl6, and only after I use the GUI update, did the kernel got upgraded [23:33] JimmyNeutron: From the error message, it means that someone or something told apt "don't upgrade the kernel!". You can do that manually, or another program can say "I don't work with newer versions of the kernel, so don't upgrade it." [23:33] JimmyNeutron, I think the kernel upgrades from commandline are require special setting to do. [23:33] Daekdroom: glxinfo | grep OpenGL brought up the info... Which do I need to find out what I'm running? [23:33] !pastebin | mmfb [23:33] mmfb: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:33] JimmyNeutron: I'm assuming the GUI just didn't tell you that the package was held, and it just upgraded it anyway. [23:33] Paste the info there. [23:33] and the link shoulds come here [23:33] *should [23:33] Appl6, That's correct. The GUI didnt care and went ahead w/ the upgrade. [23:33] JimmyNeutron: But since you've already upgraded it, the information that would tell you what was really going on isn't there any more. [23:34] JimmyNeutron: So there probably isn't a good way to figure out now what happened. [23:34] Daekdroom: What do I do with !pastebin | mmfb? [23:34] I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu 10.04 onto a Compaq Presario 6000. the cd keeps saying I/O error. When i install 8.10-9.10 it will install fine, but apt-get is always corrupted. Windows XP will install fine [23:34] Serraphyn, Do you know what paramters needs to be pass to force the kernel upgrade from CLI? I'm using "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" [23:34] Serraphyn: JimmyNeutron: You don't need to do anything special at all. [23:34] mmfb, you don't do nothing with that, it's just that I used it so the bot would show you http://paste.ubuntu.com , which is where you should paste the output of glxinfo | grep OpenGL [23:34] Serraphyn: Do you need to run the installer as root? [23:35] ubutom, and if I install kubuntu? it will be easy to use like 10.04? [23:35] Appl6, I'm wiping out my install and starting over w/ a clean fresh install of 10.04. [23:35] Appl6, I think I found the answer, ia32-libs are not installed [23:36] JimmyNeutron: OK. I'd recommend using "aptitude" instead of "apt-get" for command line package management. [23:36] !md5sum | WikkidByDesign did you check? [23:36] WikkidByDesign did you check?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [23:36] sechs, yep, though I don't know how different it is, haven't used kde in a while [23:36] Daekdroom: http://paste.ubuntu.com/448448/ [23:37] Appl6, that was the problem ia32-libs needed to be installed, works fine now [23:37] mmfb, uh oh. You're running on no hardware driver. [23:37] sechs, and maybe you'll run into the same freeze problem, worth a try I would say [23:37] mmfb, do a lspci and pastebin it [23:37] Appl6, Thanks! I'll look into it and see what are the diff between apt-get and apititude [23:37] mmfb, so we can find out which is your videocard [23:37] ubutom, im dammned with linux, then.... [23:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/448449/ [23:40] :D [23:40] Appl6, it works now just no sound and is there a way to run it in window mode? [23:40] Appl6 Thanks for all your help mate :) mmfb Thanks for reminding me that there is a great FPS for linux :D [23:40] ubutom, i will try to reinstall all, if that doesnt works, i will install kubuntu. but that will wait to tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for the help really. See you soon! [23:40] Serraphyn i aint got any sound either [23:40] mmfb, kk. Go to system > admin > Hardware drivers and check if it prompts you any driver is avaiable [23:40] gee: Haha, glad to have "helped" all though it cause you a big headache. [23:40] If you set /home to another partition can that partition be ntfs? [23:41] mmfb i remember buying the game from the shop when it came out lol...fond memories :P [23:41] mouse it cant [23:41] Daekdroom: Two, both inactive. [23:41] mmfb still have it somewhere actually lol [23:41] Onepamopa, It has to be ext2,3, or 4? [23:41] mouse exactly [23:41] btw, use 4 [23:41] it gives best results [23:41] ;) [23:41] Bye everyone! [23:41] mmfb, which are they? [23:41] mouse: not a good idea in any case [23:41] lol ntfs xD === jesset is now known as rikkimaru [23:42] is there a way I can run lucid on a vm on top of karmic? [23:42] ;) [23:42] Onepamopa, I was afraid of that. Why 4? [23:42] hello, i used /usr/sbin/useradd -m username to create 4 accounts, i have created a main user (which i am logged in with now and has Sudo access) and then i created 3 users by the name of the domain i am hosting under that acount (example.com) [23:42] mouse it's new, and it's fast [23:42] when i login to any of these "domain" user accts on my ssh [23:42] our servers used ext3 ... [23:42] untill 1 month ago [23:42] i get $ [23:42] now we use 4 [23:42] gothenburg, I only ask about ntfs cause windows can't read ext right? [23:42] it's WAY faster [23:42] Onepamopa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:42] no user@server folder: [23:42] just $ [23:42] rikkimaru, Yes... it's called VirtualBox [23:42] Onepamopa: where did you find that "it has to be ext.."? [23:42] Daekdroom: VNVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended] and NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) [23:43] i edited .bashrc and added the same line i have for my username acct that gets username@home dir: [23:43] guntbert well, do u use ntfs @ your linux box-es ? :) [23:43] is it because the usernames for the domains have . in them? [23:43] mmfb, try installing the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver, restart your system and check if the performance improves. [23:43] mmfb, one second [23:43] mmfb, I'll check which version is better for your card [23:43] rikkimaru, virtualbox [23:43] Daekdroom: Alright. [23:43] Meh.. any way to make it so the my Wi-Fi doesn't shut off everytime I shut my laptop on battery? [23:43] ubutom_, cool, i'll give it a shot [23:43] Onepamopa: no, I just said "not a good idea" - I only was curious because there is a difference between "not good" and "not possible" [23:44] mmfb, according to the nvidia website, 173 should work [23:44] mmfb, go for it, and good luck [23:44] guntbert well, in any case - it's better to use the provided file systems [23:44] than ntfs or something like that [23:44] Daekdroom: Thanks. I'll be back in a bit to update you. [23:44] my guess is that he wants a partition that he can access via windows too .. [23:45] rtronk1: ssh as one of those users, and 'echo $PS1' [23:45] Onepamopa: agreed :-) [23:45] so... my question again .. [23:45] Ive generated an RSA key on my ssh server and appended to available_keys on my local machine however it still only prompts for a password not my passphrase, any suggestions? [23:45] line 1$ echo $PS1 line 2 $ line [23:45] anyone knows a good proxy detection tool ? [23:46] bash, java... etc ? [23:46] rtronk1: type: PS1='\u@\h:\w:\$ ' [23:46] Onepamopa: what do you mean my "proxy detection tool" ? [23:46] what are the main practical differences between ext2 and ext4? [23:47] ext3 =P [23:47] :P [23:47] guntbert a tool that will help be ban all proxy ip's that are connected/connecting to my server [23:47] \u@\h:\w:$ [23:47] rtronk1: that's what you see? [23:47] ya [23:47] rtronk1: echo $SHELL [23:48] no-name, speed :D ... [23:48] /bin/sh [23:48] no-name, encryptions and lots of other things [23:48] rtronk1: make the user's shell /bin/bash [23:48] :D [23:48] how do i do that? [23:48] lemme google first [23:48] rtronk1: one way is to (carefully) edit it in /etc/passwd [23:48] MeanEYE: which is faster?

[23:49] prince_jammys: i am a complete newb to this, i was lucky enuff to get this going as it is now, (mysql/php/apache2/phpmyadmin and configured /working:() [23:50] any chance you could tell me a easy way to do it with no risk of fking somehting up [23:50] Onepamopa: I guess you mean "open proxies"; the usual way is to ask some sort of RBL [23:50] mouse: hold a gun to bill gates head and tell him to add ext support to windows [23:50] anyone have a script that parses iptables log and rewrites into human readable form in another log file? [23:50] Daekdroom: Runs perfectly! Thank you SO much. [23:50] rtronk1: you may configure the user's shell in /etc/default/useradd (and re-create the users), or edit the current ones by (carefully) editing the user's lines in /etc/passwd [23:50] mmfb, no problem [23:51] guntbert I want to be able to scan them via defined ports [23:51] but... hm [23:51] rtronk1: in the future, use the 'adduser' command, which is easier than 'useradd'. [23:51] no-name, If I was going to go that far I would tell him to make windows open source. [23:51] hehehe [23:51] gee: Got it to work with the help of Daekdroom, man. Wanna play a couple rounds? [23:52] Onepamopa: no way - they behave like normal browsers - but you could ask in ##networking (I never tried that) [23:52] guntbert I'm not talking about detecting proxy @ apache ... ;) [23:52] I already have a way of doing it [23:52] * Guest81780 hey mouse you watch out for big cats [23:52] but I cant do the same for the other stuff @ our server [23:52] ;) [23:53] * mouse is the mouse that ate the cat. [23:53] mouse it depends on the cat ;) [23:53] lol very true. [23:53] Onepamopa: then I must pass, you obvioulsy know more than I do - try ##networking [23:53] oh then you must the rat in mouse clothing [23:54] guntbert my question isnt related to networking in general .... === Guest81780 is now known as Talbots [23:54] How do you uninstall programs within Linux? I downloaded Wolfenstein: ET for Wine, and I click on "Uninstall W: ET" from my "Others" tab, but it doesn't erase it from Linux, just uninstalls it off Wine. [23:54] I want to record sound from my text reader program ... can someone point me in the right direction? [23:54] mouse, theres at least a tool for ext3 i used some time ago, forgot it's name though [23:54] Onepamopa: but even less to ubuntu support :-) [23:54] well, everyone has to start from somewhere [23:54] ;) [23:55] hello, i have some problems with gnome-art [23:55] ok i will come back in few weeks [23:55] this not open [23:55] mmfb, it is unninstalled from wine, but for some reason the menu shortcuts are still there [23:55] liam_wullfin, Do you mean it's still in the menu? [23:55] Daekdroom: What about programs for Linux that are on Add/Remove Applications? [23:56] mmfb, those should vanish normally. [23:56] Daekdroom: not* [23:56] mmfb, ah, no idea. [23:56] mmfb, not being there is too vague. [23:56] Daekdroom: Maybe just delete the containing folders? [23:56] Mouse I make the program recite text ... but I need an audio file of the sounds. [23:56] mmfb, it's not like windows :S [23:57] Daekdroom: Yeah. It's pretty complicated, but I'm lovin' it so far. [23:57] Hey folks - did something dumb and looking for help. I installed Flash 10.1 32 bit on my 64 bit system using "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture install_flash_player_10_linux.deb", and it didn't seem to work. When I go to remove it, it's not showing up in Synaptic, but I see it as "adobe-flashplugin" when I do a dpkg -l. Attempting to do a "sudo apt-get remove --purge adobe-flashplugin" comes up with "Package adobe-flash plugin is not i [23:58] use the 64bit version [23:58] hi there === may is now known as Guest69422 [23:58] how to mount usb! [23:58] Would love to, but I'm just trying to get rid of the 32 bit version which is currently installed. [23:58] liam_wullfin, Oh sorry read wrong name. However if you want to do what I think you want, what I did was connect an audio wire from speakers right back into mic port and used audocity to record. [23:59] One more question before I to play around on here... I'm using a headset, but for some reason I can't alter the sound by using the sound adjusting thingy on Linux. I have to use the wheel on the cord. How can I change that? [23:59] Exxon: normally an usb storage device is mounted automatically and you get an icon on your desktop [23:59] hi all, I would like to make backups of a whole directory. I've tried Déjà Dup, but it is not what im looking for. Is there a program which just clone the directory the first time (no compression) and then the next time just clone de differences? (I dont need it to keep the different changes in different days, just want the latest version of that directory cloned). Thanks in advance! :) [23:59] how to mount usb in ubuntu
