[00:00] hi.. if i have some app installed from software center and i want to compile the same app.. because the app from software center is old.. do i have to remove the app first before compiling? [00:00] Fyffi: depends on the app and the changes between versions, but generally its better to uninstall the older version [00:01] Fyffi the easy thing will be to try to compile it directly [00:01] the thing is that if i remove it.. it will remove some other apps.. and i dont want to reinstall the other apps back manually after [00:01] Fyffi: notice doing that you'll sometimes loose the shortcut in the app menu, so you'll need to create it again [00:01] it will tell u when something is missing [00:01] In Ubuntu Lucid, opening the video editor PiTiVi and adding files gives me the error "This file cannot be used with PiTiVi", and the details include something about "no random access within the file" being available. Is PiTiVi usable in Ubuntu Lucid, and if so, how? What I've tried is installing all the gstreamer0.10* packages. [00:01] Fyffi just ./configure then make [00:02] without uninstalling the old app [00:02] Fyffi: install it without remove it [00:02] the new wont be installed untill u issue make install === ZachK- is now known as zkriesse [00:02] CynthiaG: what kind of video is in the file? [00:02] ok.. thanks.. i hope they will not interfere in any way [00:02] that way u can check if u will actually be able to compile the app, and if not - what it needs to be compiled [00:02] fluggo: DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, H.264, Flash video (On2 VP6) [00:03] Fyffi the compiler will tell u "XXX is missing" or something like that [00:03] [I've tried with different files to no avail for all] [00:04] i know.. i have already been compiling stuff for 10 hrs or more.. i just wanted to know if i should remove the old apps first.. i havent dont it.. but i just wanted to be sure what was the correct way :) [00:04] CynthiaG: well, that exhausts my knowledge of PiTiVi :P [00:04] fluggo: No worries :) [00:04] !u | Onepamopa [00:04] Onepamopa: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' nor 'Ur' are words in the English language. Neither are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' nor 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [00:05] thanks ;) [00:07] Appl6 Gee: either of you get sound working? [00:07] how do i ping a website in the terminal? [00:08] ping google.com [00:08] thank you :) [00:08] cntrl-c to stop [00:08] peque: looks like DejaDup does incremental backups. otherwise maybe look at rsync front ends 'apt-cache search rsync' shows a list of some packages that might be what you want. [00:09] thune3: thanks, I'll take a look at them :) [00:10] I ran the "check disk" option from the ubuntu cd and it told me there was 1 error, without elaborating. what do? [00:11] What is the proper way to get Adobe Flash running in 64 bit KUbuntu Linux with Firefox on a 64 bit AMD processor? [00:11] Adobe says they have discontinued work on their 64 bit version for now. [00:11] Adobe says they have discontinued work on their 64 bit version for now. [00:11] Is it ok to use the only version of AF 10.1 they make available for linux on a KUbuntu 10.4 AND 64 bit version, running FF? [00:12] is there a preference file for rythmnbox that can be edited by hand? [00:12] please my laptop wireless not working with the latest ubuntu 10.04 , amilo li 1718 [00:12] Octo_: 1) check if the iso was ok 2) if no redownload and check again 3) burn it again (maybe with a lower speed) [00:12] On #firefox, here is some info: [00:12] <@kbrosnan> nickee_: 32 bit won't work by default, your distro may have a way to run 32 bit firefox or a program called nspluginwrapper can allow you to run 32 bit flash in 64 bit firefox [00:13] Is there a simple way to record what is being played through the headphones? [00:13] please my wireless not working theros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [00:13] eledesmar: Did it work with previous versions? [00:13] eltawargy: ^ [00:13] sebsebseb, no his is the first version of ubuntu i use [00:14] oh [00:14] ok [00:14] sebsebseb, this is amilo li 1718 [00:14] @guntbert: I think my burning software may be the cuprit. I just received an error saying that one of the files on my burned disc differ from the original.... =x [00:14] liam: simple, not sure, but with jack and maybe ardour you might be able to figure something out [00:14] eltawargy: so you can try and get it working natively, or using Windows wireless driver in Ndiswrapper [00:14] sebsebseb, this is atheros [00:14] !md5sum | Octo_ please check! [00:14] Octo_ please 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 [00:14] !atheros | eltawargy [00:14] eltawargy: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:15] are tarbombs still in any way dangerous? [00:15] eltawargy: can probably configure it and get it working then [00:15] Hi, I need some help with installing my SSD firmware. I want to do it using a thumbdrive. Can anyone help? [00:16] I'm reading those guides now, I was burning a copy of the iso to transfer to the new computer and received that error message from the burning software [00:16] Octo_: So the burning software re-read your CD and saw that it was bad already. Check for scratches and dust on it. You may have to reburn the CD; check for scratches and dust on the new one. Burn slower if possible, too. [00:17] Octo_ (+) If it's a CD-Rewritable ignore what I just said [00:17] it's a standard cd-r. I'm using a different burner at the moment, maybe that's the problem... [00:18] Octo_: Are you using overburn on a 74-minute (640 MB) CD? What brand of burner is it? [00:19] Why does `cat /proc/asound/cards` = '--- no soundcards ---' - there is a soundcard in it [00:19] guntbert, hey stranger haven't seen you in a bit [00:19] :) [00:20] Theyre 80min(700mb) cds, and my dvd/cd burner is an old Emprex that I've used forever... [00:21] From what I'm experiencing it seems that Linux doesn't stop you from installing something a second time. What I'm asking is, will it tell me it's already installed or will Linux install the program a second time? [00:21] Octo_: That's weird. I'd suspect the disc then. But since you say you've used your burner forever, maybe its laser eye thing needs to be cleaned :) [00:22] mmfb: Yes it will stop you. [00:22] mmfb: apt will tell you that it is already installed [00:22] Could be. I'v burned cds and dvds recently without problems though.... [00:22] hi all [00:22] mmfb: apt-get at the command line reports "postgresql-8.4 is already the newest version" [00:22] nickee_: 64 bits native version (experimental): http://www.2shared.com/file/GPxb74Yo/libflashplayer.html (just copy it to "/home/yourusername/.mozilla/plugins/") [00:22] mmfb: already at it newest version or some such [00:22] I'm burning at 8x now, will see what resultare using nfraRcorder [00:23] rellis: What about .exe programs through Wine? [00:23] I have a small problem with the latest 10.04 distro. I removed the network icon from the top panel by accident and I have no idea how to get it back up there, is there anybody that can help me? much appriciated. thanks [00:23] nickee_: it is from adobe, I uploaded it as I haven't found where a downloaded it the first time xD [00:23] mmfb: oh, i have no idea at all [00:23] Octo_, it's not a cd prob its ubuntu i quit burning with ubuntu now and use another distro it does not work [00:23] !panels | TeMagic [00:23] TeMagic: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:23] peque: that has known and active security issues [00:23] TeMagic: I have the same problem, except mine wasn't removed by accident. It disappeared when I upgraded to Lucid. [00:23] sebsebseb: thanks [00:23] Why does `cat /proc/asound/cards` = '--- no soundcards ---' - there is a soundcard in it [00:23] TeMagic: np [00:23] mmfb: should be the same like in win, no? [00:23] !panels | anthony [00:23] anthony: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:24] kbrosnan: sorry? [00:24] peque: Adobe removed the 10.0x beta Flash Player for Linux 64-bit [00:24] mmfb: a command like ''apt-get install'' will update an already installed package, if there's an update available. [00:24] [+ from Adobe Labs, that is] [00:24] CynthiaG: didnt know about that, why did they? [00:24] peque: Released 10.1 [00:24] sebsebseb: Thanks a lot -- it's perfect. [00:24] !sound [00:24] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [00:24] sebsebseb: works like a charm. thank you! :) [00:24] peque: And they kind of stopped developing on 10.0x for 64-bit, for both Linux and Windows Vista+ [00:24] liam_wullfin: see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio instructions "ALSA Monitor Source" for capturing Pulse output [00:25] good nite all [00:25] TeMagic: anthony np [00:25] CynthiaG: thanks for the info [00:25] I know this is pretty simple, but what does sudo mean? Is it a command that you place before any command in the terminal to let the terminal know you have root admin access? [00:25] Octo_, but small iso's work hugh :) [00:25] peque: You're welcome [00:25] mmfb; exactly. [00:26] hiexpo, do you mean stop trying to get Ubuntu to install or just stop trying to burn in Ubuntu? [00:26] mmfb: sudo allows you to gain the run commands as another user. if you don't specify who, you run commands as administrator (superuser) [00:26] mmfb: err, 'gain the privileges of another user, or run commands as another user', i mean. [00:26] Octo_: I've found that I need to use 'cdrecord -sao FILE.iso' for an Ubuntu ISO to not error out with "I/O request failed". The default is Track-at-Once mode, you need Session-at-Once aka Disc-at-Once burning [00:26] its a built-in card [00:27] Octo_, stop trying to burn in ubuntu it don't work i wasted 50 cd's to figure itout [00:27] !sudo | mmfb [00:27] mmfb: 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 [00:27] kbrosnan: hi, didn't know you were in #ubuntu too, so I din't ask you my follow up question: do you know the proper way for adobe flash _in ubuntu_? - your other anwer was general, not specific to ubuntu. [00:27] !flash [00:27] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:27] Octo_: try k3b i find it does a bit better than brasero [00:27] I"m burning on an XP system at the moment. CynthisG: I'll double check the SAO.. [00:27] hiexpo [re Octo_]: maybe in Ubuntu Karmic with Brasero - this *indeed* doesn't work so well [00:28] How can I have terminal understand my login (mmfb) as the default "root"? [00:28] hiexpo: but with cdrecord it works well, at least on a CD-Rewritable [00:28] mmfb: easy: don't do that. [00:28] if my host is localhost how do i find out my exact host name? [00:28] its good [00:29] banker247, did you take a look in /etc/hosts? [00:29] banker247: looks like you found it :) [00:29] !hostname [00:29] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [00:29] CynthiaG, show me i can not make it work yet but i am an amateur to unix [00:29] eh? [00:29] localhost is it? [00:29] banker247: yes, see the bot's message for how to change it. [00:30] If it weren't for Richard Butler's singing to me, I'd be trashing my computer out of frustration... =/ [00:30] hiexpo: keep the path where you saved the Ubuntu ISO in mind; open a !terminal, type 'cd PATHHERE' , then 'cdrecord -sao ubuntu-VERSION-desktop-i386.iso' [00:31] no quotes, and type !terminal in here if you don't know how to access a terminal [00:31] CynthiaG, cd record is the prob [00:31] spinning live.. http://bildz.dyndns.org:8000/listen.m3u will take requests [00:31] hi, yesterday, after upgrading gloobus preview my volume slider has changed into something black and with extrange behaviour, does anyone something about it? [00:32] hiexpo: if the terminal outputs "cdrecord: command not found", it might have given you a package to install with a command like 'sudo apt-get ...'; type that first, then retry cdrecord [00:32] Can anyone help me make my usb thumb drive a bootable disk for my SSD firmware? [00:32] hi all [00:32] !hi | wells [00:32] wells: 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! [00:32] is the 64bit flashplugin vulnerable by the huge security hole recently discovered? [00:33] is sudo apt-get update to update the system? [00:33] MaT-dg: it's better to act as if it were. however, Adobe removed the 64-bit Linux player from the Adobe Labs site [00:33] or just installed packages [00:33] banker247: i have for example in my /etc/hosts: 127.0.1.1 styx , and /etc/hostname: styx [00:33] Kane_Hart: neither, just update repository database [00:33] ahh [00:33] CynthiaG, i am just ne a wise guy to amateur i am just an ole guy lol [00:33] is there a command to update everything on the system? [00:33] Kane_Hart, no... update just pulls changes from repos... upgrade is for that [00:34] Kane_Hart: apt-get upgrade [00:34] banker247: you need not delete the line that says 'localhost' [00:34] Kane_Hart: It's to update dpkg's list of packages according to changes in the mirror you chose. With updated lists you can run 'sudo apt-get upgrade' [00:34] whats the trigger for yes to all :)? [00:34] sudo apt-get update [00:34] something like -y [00:34] Kane_Hart, sudo apt-get upgrade [00:34] :D [00:34] Kane_Hart: yes, -y, or the long option --yes [00:34] -y [00:34] perfect ty all :) I love learning this stuff =) [00:34] or even --assume-yes [00:34] does anybody uses gnash or other alternative to adobe flash player? [00:35] I need to remember the console command to record live from mic to hdd? [00:35] !adobe [00:35] ok all i have my turntable plugged in through the "Line" input and it is registering on the meter in pulseaudio but im getting no sound from line in playing out any ideas? [00:35] how do I forcequit chrome? [00:35] :D haha... wells cat /dev/dsp >somefile.raw :P [00:35] tripelb, ps -A|grep chrome... then kill -9 procid [00:35] yuck [00:35] tripelb: in terminal 'killall -9 chrome' [00:35] tripelb, even faster killall -9 chrome [00:35] :D [00:35] sudo killall chrome [00:35] ouch [00:36] tkx MeanEYE [00:36] ah chrome itself gave me an option, but I'll save those. Thanks [00:36] Yay triple replies :) [00:36] wells: Isn't it 'arecord' ? [00:36] wells, np :D but... I don't think that works :D ... it was an old way :D... [00:36] so no ideas why my line input wont output to speakers? [00:37] CynthiaG: I know... bastards.. now I have to choose between a possible vulnerable, but good working plugin but without hardware acceleration and a safe plugin with hardware acceleration but prolly bugged because it's 32bit [00:37] Emanon, priv pls? [00:37] go ahead MeanEYE [00:37] CynthiaG: I will google on that [00:37] MaT-dg: hopefully someone's already working on a guide to replace 64-bit Flash with 32-bit + how to install all the necessary 32-bit compatibility programs [00:38] ubuntu cat command [00:39] CynthiaG: hopefully devs are working hard on HTML5 support so I can ditch all flash crap altogether ;) [00:39] oi [00:39] MaT-dg: heh, that would also be cool :) [00:40] how do i force `passwd` to stop being so strict about passwords? [00:40] you don't [00:40] well i want to [00:40] MaT-dg, google published VP8 codec, and you can access some of the youtube by joining html5 beta at youtube.com/html5 [00:40] mbana, you mean the quality of passwords? [00:40] naptastic: yes [00:41] NEVERM IND [00:41] Is there a GUI for grub or grub2? [00:41] sudo passwd worked [00:41] mbana, sudo passwd will change the root user's password... [00:42] no, sudo passwd mbana [00:42] What is a good virtual drive mounting program for ubuntu? [00:42] Akiraa, for configuration? [00:42] mbana, the solution to your question is in "man passwd" or "man login.conf" [00:42] manuel_, you can manually mount it from terminal... [00:42] manuel_: `mount` [00:42] :D haha [00:42] I've got CPU history at 100% (9.10) and little running. (this, 3x gedit, and movie player paused) [00:42] Akiraa: for grub2 GDM2Setup [00:42] mbana, although it's not smart to change root password [00:42] MeanEYE: yes, ubuntu installed on my system, but the boot menu does not contain the pre-existing OSs [00:42] MeanEYE: but webm is only enabled in FF's nightlies [00:43] Akiraa: for grub there was startupmanager, for grub2 I'm not sure, gdm2setup is for the login window [00:43] oh, you are ff user... [00:43] CynthiaG: arecord was the command needed tkx nice job [00:43] MaT-dg, sorry, chrome and opera have them... never thought about ff [00:43] wells: You're welcome === wash is now known as wash-away [00:43] MeanEYE: I have chrome to, but I still prefer FF as main browser (plugins) [00:44] MaT-dg, I understand... sorry :D but... soon ff 3.6 will be out... [00:44] (9,10) My computer is jammed. _what's up? What can I do?_ It's not chrome. Mem 75%, swap 33%. I've got CPU history at 100% (9.10) and little running. (this, 3x gedit, and movie player paused) [00:44] ok great. thanks [00:44] can anyone please help me [00:44] !ask | kelly [00:44] Akiraa: in synaptic you can find it: python-gdm2setup [00:45] kelly: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:45] me first kelly [00:45] free -m shows that just 100mb (out of 512mb) is free on my machine (not including buffers/cache), even when I have nothing running. The machine swaps like crazy when I try to load FF. Top shows that nothing is using more than 2% of my RAM. Can anyone help me see where my RAM is going? [00:45] No 'me first's in this channel; everyone's question has the same priority and will be answered if someone knows an answer :) [00:45] tripelb: what process does top point to as bad/ [00:45] i cant enable desktop effects and i have a 1 gb nvidia gforce gtx 280 [00:46] kelly, did you install nvidia drivers? [00:46] VCoolio, I dont understand top? I am quoting "system monitor" so nothing is labeled "bad" [00:46] !nvidia > CynthiaG [00:46] CynthiaG, please see my private message [00:46] !nvidia | kelly [00:46] kelly: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:46] yes i am pretty sure [00:46] Was checking if !nvidia was a trigger. [00:46] hi [00:46] tripelb: system monitor isn't really good; run 'top' in a terminal and see what process uses most cpu [00:47] !nvidia |tripelb [00:47] tripelb, please see my private message [00:47] tripelb: htop is even better, but isn't installed by default [00:47] the bot responds to /msg [00:47] is there a way to compare 2 directory structures, but not the files themselves? (for example what diff -ur dir1 dir2 would do, but only check filenames and sizes, not contents) [00:47] VCoolio, um chrome. which isnt running. [00:47] yes i am pretty sure [00:48] Hello all. Is there any way to tie 10.04's indicator applet to gmail w/out using evolution? [00:48] when the MD5SUMS guide say to download the md5sums file, is it the .txt file? that's the only fle I ca find on the site it points to... [00:48] hey, does anyone know how to make my jack control pick up the guitar I'm playing through the USB? It runs but whenever it opens it shows in sound preferences that it doesn't hear any sound [00:48] kelly, try running compiz --replace --debug from terminal and see what it says [00:48] tripelb: the process is running if top says so, only the window isn't there anymore; do 'pkill chrome' or 'kill pid' where pid is the first number on the line in top for chrome [00:48] Octo_: hiexpo CynthiaG K3B is good for burning ISO's and so on. I know I am replying to a little while ago here, but nevermind I guess. [00:48] ramiro : You can redirect ls out to text files, then diff the text files [00:48] Octo_: so trying to burn a Ubuntu CD yeah? [00:48] Octo_: if you open that .txt file and you see hashes of 32 characters and file names, then that's the md5sums file [00:48] VCoolio, I did killall -9 chrome [00:49] !hashes [00:49] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [00:49] JessD, did you check software center... there's plenty of gmail indicators there [00:49] Octo_: see above link :) [00:49] MeanEYE it says compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /home/kelly/.compiz/plugins/libcore.so : No such file or directory [00:49] compiz (core) - Debug: Could not stat() file /usr/lib/compiz/libcore.so : No such file or directory [00:49] apparently, ubuntu did not add entries into the boot menu for the existing OSs on my machine, nor does it mount the specific hard disk partitions, what tool can I use to see the names of the different partitions? [00:49] hey was wondering if someone could help me a problem.... i have this other computer and i installed mandariva on it but when i my computer boots up it goes directly back to windows vista??? [00:49] MeanEYE : Yes, but I don't want a second piece of software. Plenty of those [00:49] VCoolio, looks good. Thanks for the _top_ comment. (lol) [00:49] is there a log file that shows user actions in ubuntu(cli commands, file saved, chmod, such things) [00:49] kelly, private... don't want to polute :D the main chat here [00:50] seb_: yay another seb [00:50] seb_: right so you want Mandriva help? [00:50] Does anyone know how to update the Ubuntu menu cache for custom installed packages? [00:50] seb_: heh, where does ubuntu fit into this? [00:50] yes please [00:50] seb_: #mandriva [00:50] seb_: please either ask #mandriva or #grub or #lilo [00:50] freud: history command [00:50] right okay but its not a ubuntu problem its a getting linux going problem [00:50] I'm trying to update the menu cache myself, otherwise my menus disappear on the 64-bit box after I log off or reboot my Lucid box for VMware workstation and such. [00:50] grub and lilo are different bootloaders; use the right channel for the loader you have :) [00:50] bastid_raZor: cli? [00:50] ok, then I have the correct file, but when I give the command "md5sum -c MD5SUMS" it says "no such file or directory" [00:51] ok, how to install the 32bit 10.1 flashplugin on 64bit ubuntu? I got the deb from adobe.com. [00:51] seb_: ah ha a Grub problem?

It runs but whenever it opens it shows in sound preferences that it doesn't hear any sound [00:51] seb_: you will need the #mandriva channel since Mandriva also uses the old Grub still, and #grub will be like we don't support that only Grub 2 [00:51] freud : history is going to show _your_ stuff, not everybody's === wildbat_laptop is now known as wildbat [00:52] freud : If it's system auditing your looking for, that's not the solution [00:52] okay [00:52] so i have to go to the mandriva server [00:52] thanks [00:52] seb_: wait; that channel might be on freenode too [00:52] seb_, nope... just type /join #mandriva [00:52] seb_: the channel yes, since this one is for Ubuntu [00:53] CynthiaG: it is [00:53] seb_: /join #mandriva [00:53] type it in here?

I keep having to rerun the VMware installer. It manually creates the menu icons, but does not update the menu cache. I cannot find out how to update Ubuntu's menu cache so wondered if you folks knew. [00:54] bastid_raZor: can it be had with time stamps aswell? I recently accomplished something(a good thing)but i don't know what of the many things i did that accomplished it for me, so a time stamped history to see what i did just before would be awesome [00:55] Googling "how to update the Ubuntu menu cache isn't helping either. [00:55] MeanEYE : You talking something different from the new dual panel version of Nautilus? [00:55] yup [00:55] more like total commander :D for linux [00:56] freud: e.g.: HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F:%H:%M ' , in your .bashrc [00:56] hi, should the 11N channel be higher or lower, i'm the only person who connects to the router wirelessly [00:56] freud: or even in your current shell, then type 'history' [00:57] chalk, it's best for you to see which channel is least used... that way you'll get the best performance [00:57] Grub problem [00:57] MeanEYE, how can i tell? [00:57] chalk, which router? [00:57] prince_jammys: thx! [00:57] MeanEYE, it's a netgear router [00:57] I upgrade to 10.04 and lost XP [00:58] freud: you can read about the time format string in 'man date' [00:58] freud: and get the time however you like it displayed. [00:58] JessD, not even close to Nautilus... check it out http://freshmeat.net/projects/sunflower [00:58] forgot, whats the CLI command to reset my panels?

Which is the right command-line alternative to update-manager: apt-get upgrade, or dist-upgrade? Thanks. [00:59] prince_jammys, i started reading man history, but many lines down and still no easy "-x" modifier :) [00:59] avgbvg, dist-upgrade is used when you upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 :D... just upgrade [00:59] freud: 'history' is built in to the shell. details at 'man bash', not 'man history' [01:00] avgbvg, just sudo apt-get upgrade [01:00] what package i need to install for PEAR PHP Library [01:00] freud: or even 'help history' [01:00] thanks. [01:00] mazpe_, php-pear? [01:01] MeanEYE: thats what i though.. i'm trying to install Pandora and after i install php-pear.. it still doesnt find it. [01:01] still asking for PEAR PHP Library, PEAR:DB PHP Library and PEAR::XML_RPC PHP Library [01:02] heck [01:02] MeanEYE: dist-upgrade is not for updating to the next ubuntu-version [01:02] iceroot, it's not? [01:02] MeanEYE: no [01:03] iceroot, dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8) [01:03] MeanEYE: have a look at "man apt-get" to see the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade. what you mean is "do-release-update" [01:03] How do i update/upgrade my kernel? im on 2.6.32-22-generic.... i need to get 2.6.33.x [01:03] could be :D [01:03] thanx :D [01:03] mazpe_: you might have to install that stuff using pear. try #php, also. [01:03] I'm having a difficult time matching an exact phrase/string using grep. Example, I want to find "$var_name =" exactly, but my searches are searching for $var_name and for = independently. [01:03] how do I go about removing a previously installed version of Ubuntu? I have a windows ubuntu dual boot on my laptop but I want to uninstall Ubuntu...should I just delete the Ubuntu files in the harddrive on Windows? [01:03] amereservant: What is the full command? [01:04] MeanEYE: dist-upgrade is updating a package if a dependecies is also getting an update, the normal "upgrade" is not updating a packge if a dependency will also change [01:04] tacit: sudo grep -r -w "$__CMS_CONN__ =" . [01:04] SailorReality: Just remove the partitions or create new file sytems on them [01:04] iceroot, thanx... :D [01:04] amereservant: single quotes. [01:04] install apache-dev to see if it makes a difference [01:04] SailorReality: if it is a Wubi install of Ubuntu then you can just go to Add/Remove app in Windows and uninstall wubi [01:04] prince_jammys: Thank you! [01:04] amereservant: else you expand a (likely empty) bash variable $__Blah [01:04] go to APPLICATIONS>SOFTWARE CENTER> search for the software you want to uninstall and hit the "uninstall" button [01:04] tacit: How can I do that from Windows by just deleting the folders that say Ubuntu? Or is it moer complciated [01:04] hey guys [01:04] yea [01:05] ok sweet thanks [01:05] is anyone running ubuntu on a macbook pro? [01:05] oops nm [01:05] manuel_, :D it's "remove" now :P [01:06] SailorReality: Control Centre / Administative Tools / Disk Management. Find the ubuntu partitions (usually marked "unknown") and kill them. Note that GRUB won't work after that so you need to re-install the Windows MBR. [01:06] amereservant: the -w is suspicious. consider not using it. [01:06] amereservant: Are you grepping for the occurence of the variable name or for the contents of the variable? [01:06] anyone? [01:06] prince_jammys: Ok, it was what I had found in one example. The single quotes work though, thank you. [01:07] Rorschachdigital: Probably. [01:07] Rorschachdigital, what seems to be the problem? [01:07] tacit: I was trying to find where the variable is defined in a series of files. [01:08] amereservant: the definition of a variable is NAME=VALUE, not $NAME=VALUE [01:08] im trying to run ubuntu 9.10 on my macbook pro and i cannot find a way to get the sound to work [01:08] amereservant: (+) therefore grep for 'NAME=' [01:08] Hello all, my desktop that runs Kubuntu no longer boots, I get a flashing cursor in the top left hand corner. I got a live disc of Kubuntu, but there is no option to repair the OS, what can I do? [01:08] CynthiaG: PHP.

[01:09] ubuntu_, which os? [01:09] too broad. [01:10] MeanEYE: Kubuntu [01:10] ubuntu_, I mean, by repair, what do you mean [01:10] MeanEYE: When I boot the puter, all i get is a flashing cursor at the top left hand corner [01:11] MeanEYE: That's it [01:11] ubuntu_, and what OSes do you have installed? [01:11] MeanEYE: Kubuntu [01:11] ubuntu_, looks like you need to isntall grub.. [01:11] How does one do that with a live disk? [01:12] MeanEYE: You mean just do a clean install? [01:12] no [01:12] you can install grub separately [01:12] MeanEYE: The Kubuntu disc offers me no such option [01:12] MeanEYE: Perhaps it is the Ubuntu disc that does so? [01:12] I know... give me a moment to find you a tutorial [01:12] Hey, anyone got some experience with wine? im trying to launch a .bat from the cmd in wine but i get this weird error... it used to work >_> [01:13] i just got a new monitor and plugged it in, how can i get nvidia-settings to recognize it to install the new drivers, etc?

[01:50] http://www.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1216a6r&s=6 [01:50] Guest69552: tinypic resized your picture so much that the text in it is unreadable [01:50] ohh uhm okay [01:50] how do i fix that lol [01:50] MeanEye i've never done that before... don't know how [01:51] Guest69552: go with my initial suggestion of uploading to Imageshack :) and disable resizing to NxN pixels [01:51] hi guys. how do I find out at what frequency my processor is running? cat /proc/cpuinfo says "cpu MHz : 1600.000", dmesg says "Detected 2992.697 MHz processor." [01:52] it's actually a Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) [01:52] nsahoo, cpu freq stepping is used by default on ubuntu [01:52] Got a question, anyone know how to fix this? [01:52] http://pastebin.com/7nB9NvZ3 [01:52] wait so dont resize it at all? [01:52] nsahoo: sounds like your processor temporarily underclocked itself to 1600 MHz due to low load; it will go back to 3000 or so if you load it up [01:52] nsahoo: it probably is set up to run at a lower speed when it's not being fully used [01:52] nsahoo, linux is scaling your frequency... cpuinfo says the current frequency [01:52] since doing nothing three billion times a second is a waste of energy [01:52] i installed my video drivers and now my audio will not work can someone help me? [01:52] aha! so, if I put load, it should go back up, right? [01:52] yes [01:52] lemme try that and report back [01:52] kelly: video drivers and audio are not linked [01:53] nsahoo, yup! [01:53] well when i installed the video my audio stopped working [01:53] while true; do :; done is a quick way to run up your CPU usage [01:53] When I do a ls -al on a particular folder I'm getting lines like "-????????? ? ? ? ? ? autotalent.so" === beek is now known as kentb [01:53] Hey, I'm getting a problem when running a2ensite.. http://chiggins.pastebin.com/67i82vye .. here is my "test" file... http://chiggins.pastebin.com/rrbunkRW [01:53] Mortuis, maybe -A switch... if you want ALL [01:53] cynthiag http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/3610/patricklaptoplucid20100.png [01:53] MeanEYE: thanks [01:54] THE_GFR|WORK, you are welcome [01:54] MeanEYE: I guess I'm just wondering what's with all the question marks [01:54] that doesn't look right to me [01:54] Mortuis: what happens if you type 'stat autotalent.so' ? [01:54] kelly: clean install or upgrade or what? [01:54] clean install [01:54] Can someone refresh my memory? Years ago I had a linux pal that could encrypt a file with a single command and then decrypt it with just another command and a password... what can I do this with? [01:54] question marks means it can't read the file information - it's fairly rare for that to happen yet it's still able to get the name [01:54] Mortuis, not sure... should work though... [01:55] sebsebseb clean install [01:55] mawst: gpg? [01:55] mawst: gpg --out somefile inputfile --symmetric [01:55] kelly: lap top? [01:55] Anyone know of a good How-to for running Microsoft Office 2007 in wine? I have tried the #winehq room, but so far no love. [01:55] nope desktop [01:55] Garagegoblin: maybe you don't need to [01:55] Garagegoblin: depending on which country you are in I guess, theres a Microsoft Office web apps thing now [01:55] Random832: I get permission denied, when I do it with sudo I get: http://pastebin.com/9AsPsvgv [01:56] Guest69552: Aha, that's much better. I'll look at it. [01:56] Garagegoblin i've had no luck with 2007 in wine, i run virtual box now [01:56] alright :D thanks [01:56] Garagegoblin, you do know OpenOffice fupports MS Office files? [01:56] umm.. it's going up, but, not all the way up [01:56] sebsebseb clean install i think === Jay is now known as Guest19677 [01:56] Mortuis: what about ls -ld /usr/lib/ladspa [01:56] thanks guys [01:56] Random832: drw-r--r-- 2 root root 4096 2010-06-11 20:12 /usr/lib/ladspa [01:57] mawst: err, --output, not --out. [01:57] Garagegoblin: Open Office and Koffice and Abiword and Gnumeric do a good job at opening these files, but yes sometimes they will have issues. Anyway I have known about this for a while, but recently came to UK as well. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/microsoft-have-finally-launched-their.html [01:57] I mean I am putting load on it, all the 4 cores are running at near 100 % as shown by top, but, the cpuinfo shows "cpu MHz: 2400.000" [01:57] MeanEYE thanks, I do. Issues that happen between Powerpoint not fun. [01:57] Garagegoblin, ok, sorry:D I was just wondering :D [01:57] MeanEYE, scandisk ended instantly and seemingly did nothing. Now when i open the drive and let windows format it says "Unknown capacity" and still fails [01:57] sebsebseb its a desktop [01:58] mawst: namely: gpg --output somefile --symmetric inputfile [01:58] rikkimaru, do you know which filesystem is on sd card? === Guest19677 is now known as Jay__ [01:58] CynthiaG: Random832 : MeanEYE : I am wondering if cpuinfo detects overclocking correctly [01:58] kelly: ok odd [01:58] nsahoo: wait, you're overclocked? [01:58] MeanEYE, i partitioned it and put quite a few on it [01:58] kelly: Which graphics card? Which sound card? [01:58] prince, isn't a pgp key like huge though? [01:58] Random832: yes. [01:58] MeanEYE, and then ran mkntfs on one of them [01:58] Thanks everyone for the replies. Everyone in here is awesome! [01:58] I want something I can type out quickly [01:58] no, cpuinfo doesn't correctly detect an overclocked processor's speed, apparently [01:59] kelly: Desktop tend to work rather well indeed with Ubuntu, unlike lap tops, because of lack of manufacture support. [01:59] mawst: --symmetric just password-encrypts it. you can decrypt with gpg -d [01:59] Random832: I see [01:59] :O [01:59] sebsebseb nvidia geforce gtx 280 and my sounds card is on my mother board [01:59] Guest69552: it looks pretty standard, except for the high CPU usage at 23 to 35 seconds (gnome login) and the very low disk throughput at 7 to 11 seconds [01:59] rikkimaru, hm, and gparded sees all paritions? [01:59] Random832, cpuinfo should detect overclocking just fine. It detects my 2000mhz CPU I clocked at 2200mhz [01:59] so what do you think the problem ccould be? [01:59] hey guys, how can i check which version of python is installed on my ubuntu? [01:59] MeanEYE, it did until i mkntfs'd [01:59] rikkimaru, Are they primary, logical, or LVM partitions? [02:00] naptastic: hmm, i wonder if something is limiting the cpu to 2.4 [02:00] Guest69552: unfortunately I'm not familiar with the differences between Arch Linux and Ubuntu to tell you what's wrong. Someone else might be able to say that. [02:00] GHz [02:00] rikkimaru, I think that killed other partitions... not sure though [02:00] naptastic, it used 3 primary, and the last primary had 7 or so extended [02:00] g0tcha, python --version [02:00] alright ill go rebot now and see what the time iis.. [02:00] brb [02:00] nsahoo, what CPU is this? [02:00] [ Guest69552's problem is that of a slower boot in Ubuntu than in Arch Linux and other distributions. Bootchart provided: http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/3610/patricklaptoplucid20100.png ] [02:00] naptastic: it may depend on what cpu - i just know that other people have reported the same thing online [02:00] :o [02:00] kelly: ok I asked else where, and was told that if your using a DVI cable the graphics card can take over the audio to [02:00] MeanEYE, is there a way to tell if the card is broken or just formatted incorrectly? [02:01] naptastic: it's a q6600, I OCed it to 3GHz [02:01] rikkimaru, anything important on the card? [02:01] for future reference Guesty, you can just post that bootchart link and ask "why is ubuntu booting slower than arch linux: " :) [02:01] nsahoo, Intel? And how did you OC it? [02:01] MeanEYE, nope [02:01] sebsebseb, DVI can't cary audio signals [02:01] Ok I got it prince_jammys, thanks a lot. [02:01] okay lol [02:01] rikkimaru, then just erase everything and try making new paritions... [02:01] ill brb [02:01] naptastic: there is a tape trick for it, you put a tiny (1mm^2) tape on a pin on the chip [02:02] sebsebseb, HDMI on the other hand... can [02:02] i have a dual monitor setup and they were both 1680x1050 and but i just replaced a monitor with one that can do 1920x1080 but when i try to switch it to that res in 'twin-view' part of the right end of the windows spills over into the left monitor. any one know why? [02:02] thanks MeanEYE [02:02] MeanEYE, how do i "erase everything", when i open it in fdisk it shows 512Kb total with 0 partitions [02:02] nsahoo, O_O''' [02:02] MeanEYE: ok kelly has an odd issue, maybe you can help [02:02] naptastic: what? [02:02] rikki, have you tried looking at it with gparted [02:03] g0tcha, yw [02:03] nsahoo, wide eyes and sweating bullets :-) I just bumped the FSB of my chip to overclock it. None of this chip modding for me! [02:03] howie, yes, it shows - 512 B [02:03] sebsebseb, hm, pm me? [02:03] MeanEYE: some cards will detect DVI cables as audio connctions, according to that other guy [02:03] MeanEYE: uh why? [02:03] MeanEYE well not this card [02:04] sebsebseb, hm, newer cards may support audio... but not over DVI... [02:04] hey, does the broadcom drivers fix any mouse issues on the dell e6500 laptop? [02:04] riki, does it show any other partitions sdb, sda up in the top right hand corner? [02:04] naptastic: wish this dell machine would have a bios that would let me do that. Just followed some tutorial on the net, rather easy. The hard part was reseating the processor back so that it's uniform and heat dissipation is right [02:04] using ubuntu 10.04 [02:04] MeanEYE so how can i get my audio to work [02:04] one moment pls... :D [02:04] nsahoo, this is an intel chip, yeah? [02:04] I am heaving a hard time follwing:D [02:04] naptastic: yes. Intel Core 2 Quad [02:05] rikkimaru, there's a mkfs.vfat command... [02:05] naptastic: The Q6600, 2.4GHz per core [02:05] Garagegoblin: So going to try Microsofts Office web apps or whatever its called? [02:05] nsahoo, ok cool. The 2400.000 number is suspicious to me, because CPU clocks are rarely that precise [02:06] sebsebseb: I am going to first try another install, since wine states that it should work. I just am not really believing it just yet. [02:06] naptastic: you are right, seems like cpuinfo is just reading it off some place. the dmesg is detecting a 2992.697 MHz core [02:06] which download should I get for a Cortex-A8? There seems to be a few different arm(el) images to download? [02:06] I will keep ya informed [02:06] Garagegoblin: yeah you can do Office 2007 in Wine [02:07] Garagegoblin: just may have to set up a bit [02:07] nsahoo, well there you go :-) A nice fast chip. Quad core @ 3.00 ghz is pretty exciting. [02:07] anyone: dell e6500 touch pad issues with mouse will the broadcom drivers resolve this issue using ubuntu 10.04? [02:07] rikkimaru, sound like you have a dead card ~ you have another carder reader to test? [02:07] naptastic: it is, but, I am unsure if it is actually running that fast when I am , e.g., running my simulation, not really complaining, but, would be nice to save another 20% time [02:08] nsahoo, just out of interest, what happens to powermanagement and speed step or cool n quiet after that modification, can the cpu still throttle itself down or is it using more energy now, even when it's idling? [02:09] hey I'm installing ubuntu 10 on my desktop. im trying to connect to the internet through a CNet 8-port switch. when I plug the computer directly into the wall the setup works but when i plug into the switch it doesn't find the connection. the same connection works on my windows machine [02:09] nullbyte, tried multiple ports? [02:10] nullbyte, what is the wall? campus network? and is this a switch or a router? [02:10] hmm how can i see which open ports are open on my ubuntu? [02:10] nullbyte, what does ifconfig [02:10] ubutom_: umm.. I am no expert, but, these are my observations: the cpuinfo changes with load, before load it was 1600MHz, after 2400. The core temperature of course changes with load quite a bit [02:10] g0tcha, install nmap and then nmap localhost [02:10] nullbyte, what does if config state? does it show an odd ip address? [02:10] MeanEYE have you found a solution? [02:10] hi everyone! [02:11] I'd like to know how to upload directories with lftp [02:11] campus network. i bought a switch so i can plug multiple computers into the ethernet [02:11] kelly, I don't know what I should be looking for... can you explain it to me in details... [02:11] does anybody know how to upload directories with lftp? [02:11] mput won't do it [02:11] MeanEYE, at the top it says "Not shown: 1683 closed ports" how can i list those as well? [02:11] nullbyte, are there more than one computers on that switch... if so... might be DHCP gives you only one address [02:12] using nmap i mean [02:12] MeanEYE i have a dvi to hdmi my sound was working before we installed the nvidia video and now my audio stopped working [02:12] meaneye so how could i fix that [02:12] nullbyte, yea, campus probably only will give you one address [02:12] g0tcha, those are not active... all the ports are defines in services file [02:12] kelly, did you check gnome volume control for different output devices [02:12] ubutom_: before load the temperature was around 50, with load it's just over 60 [02:12] but i am able to connect multiple windows machines [02:12] nullbyte, if DHCP is the case you'll need a router... [02:12] MeanEYE, cool.. thanks alot [02:12] nullbyte you might need a router, not a switch.. to allow for a single outbound ip.. [02:13] g0tcha, yw [02:13] g0tcha, closed means they were tested and found to be closed [02:13] but why does it work with windows? === crazyspai is now known as CrazySpai [02:13] nullbyte, do you have a domain controler installed on that network? [02:13] dunno its a school network [02:13] nullbyte, could be that you started with windows and so they gave windows an address... and now they won't give out another [02:13] Help. I cannot get 'pppd' working under dial up. [02:13] hm, nsahoo on my desktop I have an e6750, it can be overclocked in bios, but most of the time it just refuses to start or freezes, it's also a question of the right parts, some memory modules can't cope with higher fsb, well, I'm fine as it is atm :) OCing is a science for itself, though it can be worth the work, except for that extreme overclocking with liquid nitrogen or what hey use ;) [02:14] nullbyte, unplug and power down the switch and try again [02:14] okay thank you ill try === Kioho is now known as kiohoZzZzZ [02:14] MeanEYE how do i check that? [02:14] psusi just jumping back in, it almost looked like you played a trick on nullbyte === jacksch is now known as drphresh [02:15] The modem service connects fine , but ppp0 is not on according to ifconfig [02:15] kelly, gnome-volume-control then look at Hardware tab...

I tried QPxTool (nice software) but it doesn't report this specific info. There is any alternative to get this info? [02:15] NZheretic, do you even have ppp0 in ifconfig? [02:15] THjs is under Ubuntu i386 10.4 [02:16] MeanEYE No. this is using wvdial ( via gnome-ppp ) and pppconfig ( pon poff ) [02:16] MeanEYE how do i get to gnome [02:17] I just installed xsensors and lm-sensors. What is a safe CPU temperature range? [02:17] kelly, which system do you have installed... ubuntu or kubuntu? [02:17] NZheretic, private?

[02:19] MeanEYE ubuntu [02:19] I run asterisk on my ubuntu machine, I would want to know how I can make asterisk run at start-up so if I am not present someone with a poor knowledge of linux can get the asterisk box started by starting the ubuntu machine [02:20] kelly, ALT+F2... then type gnome-volume-control [02:20] drphresh, neeh, forget it... I misread the question... I thought you wanted to know which is current temperature of your processor [02:20] "The display driver requires POSIX shared memory to be enabled on the system." <- What does this mean and how do I check if this is enabled on my system?

[02:38] well sorry that wasn't clear. mine is rather being a bit slow [02:39] hi, my win manager crashed and even though I can use mouse, I can't do keyboard input in xterm. if I click on desktop and click on 'run command' that also doesn't work because popup won't have keyboard focus. what can I do? [02:39] hphzrd: for 32bit systems - i think a new version of flash was just released to the partner repositories. [02:39] I received an Ubuntu upgrade but it says it's unable to upgrade because it cannot authenticate the following packages: gvfs-backends [02:39] gvfs-bin [02:39] gvfs-fuse [02:39] libgpod-common [02:39] libgpod4..

I need help with Klik [02:47] back on lucid :) [02:47] MapleAwesome12: /server [02:48] /server #klik [02:48] clearly i know nothing of Ubuntu or ICR [02:48] You mean IRC! [02:48] how do i know what processor i have in a computer running ubuntu [02:48] MapleAwesome12: no, #klik is a channel, not a server [02:49] well i need to join the #klik channel [02:49] piper69: cat /proc/cpuinfo [02:49] or the uber geeks here :) [02:49] MapleAwesome12: you're using gaim? you should load up xchat.. much easier [02:49] MeanEYE: yeah strange since its a desktop [02:49] foxmoulder881, I tried that ( sudo apt-get upgrade -f)and i got the following message: W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - N [02:49] o address associated with hostname) [02:49] well i cant even install anything cuz i can't use the terminal [02:49] Izinucs: both use standard irc commands, so both are equally easy [02:49] MeanEYE: sound used to work, but then kelly installed a graphics card driver for Nivida, and it stopped working, maybe you missed that [02:50] Learn the terminal. Try it out and you'll be pleasantly surprised. [02:50] i've BEEN trying [02:50] everything gives me a DRM error [02:50] Besides, you don't need to use terminal to install stuff.

[02:51] i just wanna install rpm2cpio so i can use klik and install newer firefox and skype [02:51] What is this GUI you speak of? [02:51] ActionParsnip: which is a great IM client but if he's using "gaim" then he's on an old release and needs a little coaxing.. I don't think gaim has the same irc plugins that Pidgin has currently [02:52] MapleAwesome12: you can install newer firefox using the firefox ppa [02:52] I know only zeh shell.

It's not that hard mate, [03:00] well io can't upgrade if i can't get help [03:00] . [03:00] MapleAwesome12: that is because you are running a version of Ubuntu that has not been supported in almost 3 years [03:00] agoole, give me a moment [03:00] and NOW i get told how to upgrade [03:00] MapleAwesome12; you never asked.

[03:02] heh [03:02] as i said: well he switches from XP Ultimate to Linux [03:02] agoole, private pls [03:02] _EagleScreen, because 8.04 is LTS and more stable than recent versions [03:02] so he is not on LINUX RIGHT NOW [03:02] there's no XP Ultimate [03:02] yews there is [03:02] it's a modified version of XP [03:02] !windows [03:02] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows.

[03:09] ye quit whining lol [03:09] julian_: then you need to get the gpgkey from the PPA .. [03:09] SSD is better than magnetic disk in some aspects, but Magnetic Disks are better in terms of gigs per dollar [03:09] Do you want to compare an SSD vs non-SSD disk? [03:09] tuxxy: please don't [03:09] Phong_: serial attatched scsi [03:09] ok sorry IdleOne [03:09] hey guys, i've noticed some odd audio problems with boxee and pulseaudio under karmic. i looked around the internet and didn't see much, are there any known tricks for making pulseaudio behave better? [03:09] :D [03:10] Hi bastid_raZor...I have no idea what a gpgkey from PPA is... [03:10] waveclaw i want to buy a high end disk [03:10] waveclaw and do not know which to choose from.

[03:11] i think there's also a performance difference between magnetic and ssd depending on whether you're doing streaming vs random access [03:12] rallias oh okay...it's because it is chips ???? no disk spinning right for SSD [03:12] foxmulder881: yes but unfortunately some of us have to keep an eye on this and other channels because some people insist on continuing offtopic convos [03:12] now now foxmulder881 watch it is all im saying [03:12] tuxxy: Enough. [03:12] foxmulder881: anything else I can help you with that is Ubuntu related? [03:12] rallias so a SSD HD is like a hug memory chip right? [03:13] What did I do wrong? [03:13] Phong_ What I would do is get a 10000 RPM hard drive for storing your data and a 32 GB hard drive for storing the OS. Ubuntu doesn't modify OS files very often, so it is safe to use SSD's. The issues in SSD's are in terms of the fact that you have a limited number of writes [03:13] foxmulder881: apart from the one curse. nothing. [03:13] whats the unicode command in linux [03:13] That's right. [03:13] foxmulder881: ok then lets drop it :) [03:14] so yeah, pulseaudio under karmic... does it have known issues?

[03:20] thune3: nah it wasn't - thx [03:20] rallias let say i boot to windows about 1 min......will it be faster like in 30 sec if i have sas [03:21] drizzt_: please join #ubuntu-ops, thanks [03:21] Phong_: vm.swappiness can help lots, using a lighter dE / WM can help lots [03:21] Phong_ No it would be the same timing [03:21] with plenty of ram though... :) [03:21] rallias oh crab...i dont need it [03:21] never mind [03:21] no need it then [03:21] Phong_: using lighter apps can also help, instead of openoffice use abiword etc [03:22] you never really NEED it for desktop use, but some people are fans of performance :) [03:22] 'm going to sell sas then [03:22] Openoffice is fun for its StarWars game [03:22] you know how you hold alt in windows for special chars, whats the linux equiv? [03:22] How can I find what partition GRUB2 is installed to?? [03:22] Phong_ Why? Its 15K. [03:22] it resides in the MBR, does it not? [03:22] rallias i'm going to seell it [03:22] Phong_ What are the specs [03:22] 15k 450GB [03:23] 15k what? [03:23] my boss bought it for 400usd [03:23] rallias: RPM [03:23] gave it to me [03:23] RPM [03:23] 15k? that's gonna spin off its wheels [03:23] * rallias whistles [03:23] 15k = unlreliable [03:23] get an SSD [03:23] sda1? [03:23] Phong_: cache makes more difference tan rpm [03:23] those drives are more meant for enterprise class data centre servers [03:23] i am no help then [03:23] you know how you hold alt in windows for special chars, whats the linux equiv? [03:23] con-man ctrl-shift [03:24] kathe really? [03:24] rallias, really what, what i told con-man [03:24] äໟ෯ [03:24] oh [03:24] yeah [03:24] kathe: do you have a guide? [03:24] rallias if i can't sell it..i'll throw it in trash [03:25] rallias, nope it's just the unicode the the ansi character set, so just google it [03:25] Phong_ 15k RPM someone is going to want it [03:25] remember 255 is null [03:25] Phong_: can you please take this hardware convo to #ubuntu-offtopic please [03:25] * psusi ran a first generation 15k rpm seagate cheetah for a number of years... and that was a good 5 years ago now [03:25] friend of mine uses a ramdisk on his netbook with Ubuntu Netbook Remix. An advanced topic to set those up, but still nice. [03:25] ok idleone [03:25] thank you [03:25] cache on a drive makes little to no difference... the OS has lots more ram to cache with and does a better job [03:25] rallias any way, i will go buy 1 tomorrow [03:25] SSD..thanks all [03:26] * psusi pets his ssd [03:26] Question: If I install multiple desktop environments, can i switch between them at logon time? [03:26] hlx: yes [03:26] IdleOne: Thank you. [03:26] psusi: hardware cache performs better than any software managed cache [03:26] hlx: you click on the Session button at the login screen [03:27] hlx: thats exactly the idea :) [03:27] ActionParsnip, prove it... if the os has it in the cache it doesn't even need to ask the disk for it... can't get much faster than not even doing the read in the first place. [03:27] Is there a way to change my username? [03:27] solid state drive here.. [03:27] hlx: click your username, then choose your desktop in the bottom of the screen [03:27] Thanks [03:27] ActionParnsip, true, but hard drive cache is not very valuable, its better to have higher memory so the os can load everything in memory and not hit the hard drive very much, the harddrive it is a memory page hit [03:27] Next brainwave, on Kubuntu, is there any way to segregate your open tabs into separate desktops? Right now the taskbar has apps appear in both desktops, or is this unavoidable [03:27] idleone, i have to ask this: is it better to install linux on real HD or have it install on vmware on windows OS ???? i'm trying to learn linux [03:28] psusi, is quite correct especially to any major system like a DB [03:28] Phong_: real install will give better performance [03:28] Use Wubi to try it out, easiest, safe, I've had ubuntu not work so well on VMware [03:28] idleone, what if i mess up something [03:28] IdleOne, what? [03:28] Phong_: a virtual machine will let you revert if you need to [03:28] idleone, i have to install all over. [03:28] Phong_, if you mean ubuntu I would offer wubi install: real files & hardware and no messing with HD [03:28] Yuard in system -> Administration -> users and groups [03:28] psusi: what what? [03:28] Phong_: I use virtualbox [03:28] mopi, that is what i am trying to say [03:29] IdleOne, you said something about real install giving better pformance... [03:29] Phong_: but if you are worried about messing something up you can VM or use Wubi [03:29] vubi? [03:29] psusi: you here just to argue or offer help? [03:29] !wubi [03:29] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [03:29] Phong_: "Wubi" will install ubuntu into your add/remove programs, and let you choose at boot time which environment to go into. You can simple uninstall it from windows when you are done. [03:29] ah [03:29] i see [03:29] kathe, a database goes out of its way to do its own extensive caching.... not much point having data also sit in the disk cache at the same time the db is keeping it around in its cache, and for a longer period of time [03:29] psusi: the cache on the IDE is significantly faster than seeking the data on the drive, even if the drive is insanely fast, if the data is already in the cache it will be faster than seeking each piece of data. If you have a tonne of cache the drive can fill the cache with good stuff and this will be used to transfer the data to the ram. If there is little cache the OS will have to wait while the drive works and gets the data [03:30] idleone, i probably try with vm first...how much is virtualbox? [03:30] free [03:30] i want to try it [03:30] psusi: its usually why as the RPM increases the cache increases as more data can be cached per time period as the seek time is lower due to ROM [03:30] RPM [03:30] rallias I don't see an area to change my username [03:30] Is virtualbox java's edition in the VM market? [03:30] Phong_:http://www.virtualbox.org. It's free for private use [03:30] oh ok [03:30] ActionParsnip, sure, the disk cache beats the hell out of actually having to read the data... but it doesn't beat not having to ask the disk in the first place because it's in main ram [03:30] hix: its owned by Oracle now [03:31] Phong_: and its very feature rich [03:31] mopi, will it install with .iso file? [03:31] Phong_: yes [03:31] ok brb [03:31] thanks all [03:31] brb, got to get it [03:31] hix: java is a language, java is not a company [03:31] Phong_: It will also open up vmware machines [03:31] ActionParsnip: I had meant Sun. [03:31] hix: jave != sun [03:32] mopi, x32 or x 64 ubuntu? [03:32] hmm === ian___ is now known as iflema [03:32] hix: OOo is now owned by oracle [03:32] dont knwo what to get [03:32] Phong_: either or [03:32] Phong_, 32x [03:32] yuard right click properties? [03:32] okie [03:32] psusi: true [03:32] since the OS is using main ram for its own cache, and has a lot more of it than the disk does, whatever is in the disk cache is almost certainly in the kernel cache, and then some... no point having it in the disk cache if it's in the kernel cache since the kernel won't even ask the disk for it again in the first place [03:32] Phong_: I would go with X32 though [03:32] mopi, mh HD is 32m cache is that good? [03:32] 32MB [03:33] Phong_: tats plenty :) [03:33] i got 1 TB 32M [03:33] ok [03:33] Phong_: how much ram do you have? [03:33] and the kernel has more information to go on than the disk... it can do things like delay background dirty buffer flushes to service page fault reads first [03:34] why gnome-panel has some crazy dependencies from libweather and libevolution-something? can it b e recompiled without them? [03:34] psusi: but if the disk can pre-emptively cache data which is required before the data is asked for it will be significantly faster than waiting for the request to come in :) [03:34] psusi and ActionParsnip let's simply agree on 1.) hard drive cache is better then not having any and 2.) that having enough ram to prevent having to go to the hard drive in the first place is better but that point 1.) is atleast invoked during a startup. [03:34] kathe: deal :) [03:34] you know how in install it asks if you want to require password to decrypt files? How do i set that setting on after install? [03:34] ActionParsnip, the kernel already does that, and the amount it reads ahead is configurable [03:34] kathe: and that readahead package is good :) [03:35] kathe, sure.. but my point is that more disk cache is not really any better [03:35] psusi: if th hardware can do this pre-emptively outside of the kernel it makes thigs easier on the cpu [03:35] It however is not any worse. [03:35] psusi, well that is depending on memory isn't it psusi [03:35] kathe, on what memory? [03:36] the disk cache or main ram? how much, or how fast? [03:36] ActionParsnip, no... the kernel has more information to go on so it can do a better job... for instance, the kernel knows that it has reached the end of that file, so there is no reason to continue reading ahead beyond it [03:36] psusi the amount, but the point is stupid, i would rather add more memory then purchase new drives for a higher hdd cache, but then i don't deal with drives like I used to, I mainly am dealing with Compellent SANS and NANS anymore [03:37] psusi: so why under linux do we just not get rid of cach ram on IDEs. would make the drives ugely cheaper [03:38] ActionParsnip, some is good... just adding more doesn't really do any good... but it SOUNDS good... often times manufacturers add things to make them sound good so they will sell, not because they actually are good [03:39] any news on samba4 anyone? [03:39] psusi: in a busy server, disk cache is ugely important to make things smooth. I'd shoot for maximum cache evertime [03:39] psusi is correct, unless you are going to add something crazy like a gig of cache on a drive, to cover most file sizes, the difference between 16 and 32 meg is not enough to matter that much. [03:40] !ot | mopi [03:40] mopi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:40] ActionParnship, and on most servers, people are dealing with SANS and NANS anymore, which is an entire different beast [03:41] ActionParsnip, do you have any evidence to back that up, or does it just sound better? assuming the kernel has much more ram to do its own caching with... and it does so... it will never ask the disk for data it already has in its cache, so it won't make a lick of difference... [03:41] Anyone here knows how to manage BCM4312 power? [03:42] ActionParsnip: how is that offtopic? [03:42] psusi: where I work the guys who manage the servers and NAS etc for our many customers shoot for cache, we have early customers who use less cache on there drives and the throughput and performance is slower, i call it as i see it [03:43] ActionParsnip, in other words... it /sounds/ good [03:43] mopi: its not an Ubuntu support question, your OS is not in issue. Its a generic question. they are for #ubuntu-offtopic [03:43] just like how people assume that more MHz = faster cpu.... which is why they started labeling them with model numbers instead of MHz [03:43] psusi: no, i've seen it perform better, weather its a config difference or the drives are doing better I call it as I see it [03:44] psusi: it is consistant though, the old guys using 8Mb drives on the same controllers arent nearly as slick as the customers on 32mb drives [03:44] ActionParsni: it is linux related. Processor cache is not at all [03:44] psusi: how else can I see it? [03:44] !ot > ActionParsnip [03:44] ActionParsnip, please see my private message [03:45] ActionParsnip, are the drives the same other than cache? I'll bet they also have quite different areal density and such [03:45] psusi: please pM [03:45] psusi: ops get narky otherwise [03:45] * psusi goes back to speeding up e2defrag [03:46] psusi: but yes they are identical [03:46] mopi, on your samba4 question, late 2010 early 2011 i hear [03:47] kathe: thank you [03:47] psusi and ActionParsnip I am going to step out from the debate, but here is my say, psusi is mostly correct, however if a lot of files of smaller size are called ActionParsnip can be correct, but it's a very limited use. [03:48] Question: Can Ubuntu Server utilize samba to act as a domain controller? If so, group policy aside, what features can it offer for a windows user? [03:48] hlx: yes it can [03:48] hlx: you can do roaming user profiles and home directories, login scripts, etc [03:48] so basically everything aside from group policy [03:48] hlx: fine grained control as to what is shared [03:48] hlx: basically [03:49] hlx Ubuntu can be a domain controller no problem, don't now about utilizing samba to act as the domain controller but it would work as a form of group policy and share points [03:49] hlx: samba4 will have that ability though [03:49] hlx: it will be a good opensource AD replacement [03:50] mopi / kathe: Thanks, I am a freelance IT doing a domain for a business on a budget, looking at my options here. [03:50] mopi, only 11 year late [03:50] aka does not have 20,000 to spend on microsoft licensing [03:50] drizzt_: exactly [03:50] hlx: how many users do they have? are they a nonprofit? [03:50] Anyone in here know much about repairing partitions? I've got a terabyte hd that is fdisk is saying does not have a partition, but yet, I can mount the drive, read the files and write to it. Any clues on how to fix this? [03:50] I want to know the exact date when a CD media was recorded. I tried QPxTool (nice software) but it doesn't report this specific info. There is any alternative to get this info? [03:51] mopi: nonprofit, 20 workstations, 3 MFD's [03:51] aka 20000 for just a few basic things, a million once you get the wsus servers going the anti virus, the additional firewalls, etc to protect the microsoft products, and lets not forget the additional licensing of products for that one function share point or office functionality that doesn't come with the base version... etc. etc. etc. [03:52] indeed. [03:52] windowshasyou: testdisk might be able to recover the partition data and restore the drive [03:52] windowshasyou, what is there to fix exactly? [03:52] hlx: ever heard of techsoup.org? [03:52] mopi: I have not [03:52] psusi: Let me paste bin it all [03:52] hlx: you can get use licenses for like $10, server licenses are really cheap too [03:52] Izinucs: I'm gonna try test disk in a minute [03:53] if you can access it fine, then it ain't broke... don't fix it [03:53] mlx, yeah, if your a nonprofit, you can get software cheap [03:53] er hlx i mean [03:54] hlx: ccbnonprofits is good too, that one is good if your organization is church-affiliated at all [03:54] This is quite useful. Thanks a lot. What should I be researching into from linux domains for profitable businesses? === zkriesse is now known as ZachKriesse [03:54] I would much rather work with a ubuntu server than server 2k8 [03:54] hlx: ok, I see. brb [03:55] psusi, Izinucs, http://pastebin.com/N2yn4v1M === ZachKriesse is now known as Zkriesse === 13WAAZ84K is now known as acerimmer [03:55] hlx: there is a #ubuntu-server channel. they may be of some help [03:55] windowshasyou, you ran fdisk on /dev/sdb1 === Zkriesse is now known as zkriesse [03:55] psusi: Yes. [03:55] windowshasyou, don't do that. [03:55] psusi: k. [03:56] windowshasyou, sdb1 IS the partition... you're trying to partition a partition [03:56] hlx: just google ubuntu as domain controller, ubuntu has it in there forums, samba as well. You can also use webmin along with that. [03:56] hlx, the cost of linux is only in finding linux people, ms only people are a dime a dozen, multi-platformers are harder to come by and often cost more money to bring in, that's about it... as far as doing business, there is an equiv or near equiv that will get your non-profit working for next to nothing. [03:57] psusi: ok, that doesn't explain gparted though [03:57] it says the whole disk is empty [03:57] hlx: check out these tools, webmin, ebox, and fogproject [03:57] Mopi / kathe : Thanks for all the help. appreciate it. [03:57] Now to set up a test network... wooo [03:57] windowshasyou, what does sudo parted /dev/sdb print say? [03:58] hlx: oh and look at untangle for your firewall. That is a very powerful tool. [03:58] mopi: Already use it, very useful tool [03:58] hlx: nice [03:58] psusi: No Implementation: Partition 1 isn't aligned to cylinder boundaries. [03:58] hello [03:58] Also helps keep the kids computers alive for a little while longer :P [03:59] mopi: don't mean to butt in on the convo, but i saw someone in here earlier today saying that they shouldn't recommend webmin because it can break your configuration or something of that sort. is that true? (sorry, don't know much about this) [03:59] what program do you reccomend for extracting a rar [03:59] !webmin [03:59] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [03:59] I'm trying to install a Lexmark prospect pro205 on ubuntu 10.04. the installer windows asks for my administrative password, but whenever i type in my password it says incorrect password given [03:59] windowshasyou, sigh... parted bug.... just to make sure pastebin sudo fdisk -lu /dev/sdb [03:59] Ebox looks like a pretty robust solution, I shall try that [04:00] bastid_raZor: thank you [04:00] greenjon: It all depends on what else you have installed on your server. I would install webmin first so that way the other apps have to work around it instead [04:00] greenjon: the bot knows all [04:01] !monkeysex [04:01] psusi: http://pastebin.com/M5kvP57j [04:01] [22:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about monkeysex [04:01] not all [04:01] what [04:01] hlx: do you have windows clients? [04:01] no === administrator is now known as Guest83834 [04:02] mopi: I do, but they have expressed interest in coming to the light side of the force, so to speak, so I'm exploring any options === phox is now known as Guest29203 [04:02] hello [04:02] bay [04:03] windowshasyou, yea... it's fine... do you have a special version of parted installed? what version does dpkg -s parted say? [04:03] Take a look at fogproject.org. FOG stands for Free Opensource Ghost. It runs on linux and will cover all of your deployment needs. Including imaging, app deployment, printers, wol, etc [04:03] !botabuse > kathe [04:03] kathe, please see my private message [04:03] I'm trying to install a Lexmark prospect pro205 on Ubuntu 10.04. the installer windows asks for my administrative password, but whenever i type in my password it says incorrect password given. can anyone help please? [04:03] psusi: looks like the relevant stuff is Architecture: amd64 Version: 2.2-5ubuntu5 [04:03] alright [04:04] windowshasyou, and you haven't compiled your own from source or anything right? [04:04] psusi: I wasn't worried about it. I was going to resize the partition until I saw gparted's glitch. And no, I haven't. I'm operating off of a mint live image right now. [04:05] Steve1804 [04:05] er Steve1804 run it from the command line using sudo [04:06] Steve1804 Lexmark has a bug with it's packages right now and doesn't pass it correct, i had to do sudo nameofshellscript.sh on the command to run the installer [04:06] is the path seperator a ; ? [04:06] windowshasyou, hrm.... odd... try Ubuntu instead of mint... that's a perfectly normal partition... I can't believe it's complaining about it... a lot more people should be complaining about that if it were a problem in Ubuntu [04:06] Kathe: ok thanks I'm going to try that [04:07] Hi all, what's new!? :^) [04:07] psusi: This is actually the 3rd image thats complaining. First was a sabayon live cd which I normally use for such operations, second image was a suse install disk, had intended to try their disk utilities, and this mint image is the last one. [04:07] !mintsupport | windowshasyou [04:07] windowshasyou: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [04:08] psusi, mint uses the same kernel and the same gparted that stock ubuntu [04:08] $PATH:/my/path. is the : the seperator if I want to add another path on top of that? [04:08] drizzt_, I thought so.. looks to be the same version, but man... that's as plain simple stupid bland of a partition layout as you can get... [04:08] Kathe: this what i got. sudo: lexmark-injet-09-driver-1.5-1.i386.deb.sh: command not found [04:08] if it doesn't like that, there should be a LOT of people with that problem [04:08] bastid_raZor: Thanks. I'm about done anyway. psusi: thanks anyway. [04:09] i see you envy and hate the company which makes mint, because it takes revenue from canonical, lol [04:09] sdwrage, yes [04:09] Steve1804 no colon [04:10] sdwrage, do you need to escape :? [04:10] drizzt_, so PATH = $PATH:/my/path:/my/Second/path ? [04:10] sdwrage, yes [04:10] ok good [04:10] Steve1804 and make sure you navigated to that path that has the .sh file [04:11] hi, how do i get the equinox gtk2 engine? [04:11] if in doubt drop the file in the home folder, which is the default directory when you start the terminal up [04:11] Kathe: do I have to type sudo apt-get install? [04:12] Steve1804 no [04:12] Kathe: how do i do it? [04:12] Steve1804 just make sure teh .sh file is in your home folder, then type sudo lexmark-inkjet-09=driver-1.5-1.i386.deb.sh [04:12] Steve1804, sh ./lexmark*.sh [04:12] in the terminal [04:13] Steve1804, you may want to check ~/Downloads folder for that file [04:13] I want to know the exact date when a CD media was recorded. I tried QPxTool (nice software) but it doesn't report this specific info. There is any alternative to get this info? [04:14] paulo, most cd's don't contain that data to begin with [04:14] kathe, :0) [04:15] how can i reload menu bar in xchat? [04:15] it's disappeared [04:15] kathe, if it's a data cd I'm pretty sure it does [04:16] yeah, it's a data CD :) [04:16] Question! Now that Sun has been bought by Oracle... What will this mean for us Ubuntu'ers, regarding OpenOffice & Java!? [04:16] joe_c8, nothing [04:17] psusi, it depends is this burned or original stamped, what is the burning software, did it record the meta data, and if so is that meta data correct, etc... most don't go around burning and timestamp the meta data too [04:17] alright I need help fixing my windows/dual boot problem [04:17] joe_c8, java SE & openoffice are dying now, and will die eventually [04:17] I can't seem to add windows to the bootable list of OS for grub2 [04:17] is anyone else dual booting ?

[04:18] windowshasyou: whats the package name ? i thought I did though [04:18] joe_c8, uses, not develops [04:18] drizzt_: running xp, and it didn't add it, and I did a fresh install tonight [04:19] I see... [04:19] agoole: its os-prober [04:19] agoole, fresh install of what? [04:19] Steve1804: sudo ./lexmark-inkjet-09-driver-1.5-1.i386.deb.sh [04:19] drizzt_: of ubuntu, I just got the install cd tonight, fresh from the website [04:19] windowshasyou: yup, got it [04:19] At drizzt_: What will they replace those with now? [04:20] windowshasyou: I tried looking in the grub.cfg file for the os-prober section, and its there, but its blank [04:20] robotchickenparm, sounds like something is wrong with your harddrive, i'm not good with linux [04:20] robotchickenparm, can you press esc before it gets to far along on the cleaning [04:20] joe_c8, Java ME&EE and StarOffice, both commercial products [04:20] what do you mean the cleaning? [04:20] im sorry i have a lot to learn [04:21] i used karmic for a year and lucid for 2 weeks with no problems i couldnt handle, somtimes thanks to the help of a very helpful community... but this i dunno [04:21] joe_c8: Just ignore drizzt_, OOo won't go away, and certainly not overnight (and if it does, it will go away because there's something better replacing it) [04:21] aaro700930: thanks it worked [04:21] robotchickenparm, you know how windows does a hard drive check after improper shut down and it cleans up bad blocks and partitions, ubuntu has a similiar function, that's what those white lines are, it usually offers you the ability to press esc to get past the check [04:21] ok [04:22] lemme try that and see [04:22] agoole: Unfortunately, I'm not good at fixing grub issues. [04:22] Has anyone been able to run Runescape in OpenGL mode under Ubuntu? No matter what I tried, I could not get OpenGL mode to work under Ubuntu, but on Windows XP it worked fine. [04:22] when it was all done i pressed esc but it just made a symbol or somthing [04:22] Thanks Flannel!! Yeah that kinda make sense now! :^) [04:22] i think it was 3 characters [04:22] so before it stops hit it? [04:22] robotchickenparm: "grub" ? [04:22] robotchickenparm, that's why i asked to try it before the stop [04:23] sorry, I have some bugs in OOO starting from 2004, and they still there, I'd say it's pretty dead [04:23] k.. im gonna do that right now... [04:23] 1 sec. [04:23] thanks [04:23] robotchickenparm if it doesn't get past it, then something is really messed up not just kinda could be a problem [04:24] when it gets to "gnu grub", should i do recovery mode or regular? [04:24] robotchickenparm: recovery [04:24] try regular first [04:24] then trry recovery [04:25] joe_c8: re OO & Java, I don't think it will mean anything about any versions up till now, but it could effect the future direction. Let's hope only for the better. There's been concern for OpenSolaris's future. [04:27] drizzt_ unfortunately ooo has lots of bugs, it's pretty think, but it's not dead [04:27] nUboon2Age: Yeah, hence my concerns/questions about it! [04:27] nvm... this computer is tiotally screwed... this is about the 5th problem ive had since yesterday [04:27] its why i downgraded from lucid back to karmic [04:27] i apppreciate you trying to help guys [04:28] robotchickenparm... yeah wipe and reinstall karmic if that's the case... [04:28] kathe, oh like they added color sheet labels? that's development for sure [04:28] im thinkin it might be smthing inside thats causing all this... with the hardware === gooroo is now known as Yahma [04:28] theres anther rblem its having [04:28] drizzt_ i don't disagree with your pessimistic view, i am just saying === FunnyLookinHat_ is now known as FunnyLookinHat [04:29] drizzt_ it's still got a heart beat [04:29] where the screen ges black with a blue-ish blb in the middle f the screen and black virtical lines [04:29] drizzt_ and the much better support of various file formats went a long way for me. [04:29] and it i get the computer int the perfect positioon it will go away [04:29] what is the best package for getting flv videos from web sites? [04:29] lol i think im screwed [04:29] do u think dust could cause that? [04:29] robotchickenparm what do you mean the perfect position [04:30] mistergibson: you're running ffox? get teh ytube addon [04:30] lol kathe is it still breathing :) [04:30] does any one know why minimized windows do not appear as a preview (only an icon) when I alt tab with compiz enabled. Windows that are not minimized appear correctly in a coverflow manner. [04:30] acerimmer: ff almost hangs (a site w/ at least 15 flash objects) ... pegs cpu [04:30] How do you add a program to a panel? I'm trying to put Thunderbird next to Firefox on Panel 1. [04:30] the right side pred u n a folded pillow [04:30] I KDE they all have thumb nails. [04:30] Has anyone found a replacement that works in ubuntu for Picasa's "Hello" program? Google killed the app/service right after it took over. [04:30] !netsplit [04:30] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:30] But I want to use gnome. [04:30] \propped up on a folded pillow [04:30] hiezpo if you heard your hand up to it's mouth you can feel a little air [04:31] acerimmer: if I had to not use ff - any ideas? [04:31] mmfb: Create the appropriate shortcut on your desktop, then drag it to the panel [04:31] is there a way to get this to work correctly in gnome? [04:31] mistergibson: what browser? [04:31] Flannel: Haha, thanks. That was crazy easy. [04:31] lol its insaine [04:31] robotchickenparm: I have a semi-similar thing with a laptop I've received. It could be dust, it could be a loose cable, etc. [04:31] could it be dust or somthing? [04:31] acerimmer: hoping to not use a browser ... a scraper? [04:31] or maybe somthing simple like a lose connector? [04:32] robotchickenparm, yeah, i would blow it out and check the connections [04:32] joshua@SymphonyofTheDawn:~$ cd ~/Desktop/equinox-gtk-engine.tar.gz [04:32] bash: cd: /home/joshua/Desktop/equinox-gtk-engine.tar.gz: Not a directory [04:32] mmfb, - easiest way is to go into your apps where you launch it and right click on it and click add tp panel no need to add a shortcut to desktop [04:32] what ami doing wrong? [04:32] mistergibson: I can only speak to my experience with ffox and the add-ons. haven't had any need to try other solutions to your prob. [04:32] stephans: if you use compiz you can enable this in ccsm .. Window Previews [04:32] and when that happens the computer freezes... like nothing will happen... but if i fix it right with the pillow it works [04:32] somtimes [04:32] acerimmer: thanks anyhow [04:32] :) [04:32] Help. I cannot get Ubuntu 10.4 ppp to authenticate ( No response to PAP authenticate-requests ) when using dial up ( via wvdial/gnome-ppp or pppconfig/pon ). [04:32] robotchickenparm: If you're comfortable taking it apart and putting it back together, I'd try it, yeah. [04:32] robotchickenparm: perhaps just cleaning? [04:32] Well I am going to go off tonight [04:32] i think im gonna wait and try to get one of my morte hardware experienced friends on it [04:33] everyone take care [04:33] ciz ive never openned a laptop... i've read about openning this one [04:33] but i havent tried it [04:33] g'night Kathe! :^) [04:33] mistergibson: from youtube or somewhere else? you can install flashblock in ff and only activate it when you need it. [04:33] Question 2 - How do you create a shortcut? [04:33] im not too confident right now [04:33] lol [04:33] thune3: thanks, flash is such an ungodly cpu pig [04:34] hi everyone any pc/os chat room? [04:34] 15 ... the lights truly dim [04:34] Anyone around to help with a sound problem? I understand that sound problems and ATI 3D are Linux famous problems not yet solved [04:34] Flash isn't too bad, as long as you're not running the 32 bit player on x86_64. The wrapper is rather buggy [04:34] mmfb, i believe they're called launchers in gnome [04:34] its weird, i dont know if it's coincidence or anything, but these problems started up almost immediately after i tried out kde on it to see if maybe my mom or somthing might like it [04:34] and not too long after i started having all these bugs [04:35] so i did a fresh install of lucid [04:35] and thedn the blue blob happenned [04:35] robotchickenparm: my laptop definitely slows down running kde. all that eye candy takes up some serious cpu cycles. [04:35] leo: PC Linux OS you mean? [04:35] I find KDE to be particularly buggy too, robot [04:36] seb: yes.. [04:36] but that couldn have caused this blob problem could it? everyone ive talked to today has said dust or a cable [04:36] is ccsm an app?

[04:36] ok got it... [04:37] but yea i didnt like kde at all, i removed it right awway, but then my network manager started not showing up in the notificatio area [04:37] Ok, I will blacklist my machines with sound and ATI requirements [04:37] followed by a series of similar probs [04:37] Network-manager's a pain, just use interfaces.

[04:39] ill tell u in one sec [04:39] robotchickenparm: I'd advise you to not open up your laptop, even if you think it's hardware damage. Modern laptops tend to be very... "snug" internally. If it was a desktop, that's a different story, but a laptop should go to the store [04:40] first with apt-get or whatever... and then all of the kde programs [04:40] thune3: thanks a lot! works great ... no cpu issues :) Cheers!

[04:43] stephans: honestly, i don't use it.. i use cairo-dock in place of my bottom bar, and sadly it too does the same type of window preview, only if the application isn't minimized. possibly ask in #compiz to see if there is some way of tweaking that plugin. [04:44] Question! Is the latest Radeon HD5700 & HD5800 Series graphics card fully working under Ubuntu "Lucid"? [04:47] How do you create a shortcut on Xubuntu 9.10?

[04:52] Dmole: -h means human readable [04:52] df -h prints human readable [04:53] right but I would expect 5.8 not 5.4 [04:53] Dmole: Because 1TB = 2^40. [04:53] Hey, I recently edited my user's font.conf to force all fonts of my pixel/small font family to size 7, since the font was created for that specific size. However, my llittle configuration file doesn't work for the fonts in Ubuntu Software Center. [04:53] It's a bit contradictory. Usually, UNIX-like systems go out of their way to be not human friendly. [04:54] Appl6: ah yes it's counting them differently [04:54] Dmole: TB vs TiB still doesn't seem to have made it's mind up [04:56] would i use vgreduce -A datavg /dev/sdb6 to remove sdb6 from a lvm [04:56] "df -H" is the other counting option [04:56] (imho, mostly because people still make the mental association between TiB and disk manufacturers 'lying' about sold capacity) [04:56] or or the switches wrong [04:57] Guest15802: seems wrong from looking at man vgreduce === Sup|Lobby is now known as |iNFO| [04:58] M10CK === |iNFO| is now known as iNFO| [04:58] hey === _RaNdY is now known as RaNdY [04:58] Guest15802: "-A" is for autobackup and should have a "y" after it [04:58] hello all..

[05:14] it's good for posting logs and debugging info [05:14] starbuckt, ubuntu has pastebinit [05:14] oh yeah? [05:14] ever since the upgrade to karmic, dav-svn (as of subversion 1.6.5) has been serving all files (even with extensions matching those in /etc/mime.types) as binary files, whereas it would previously serve them as text. The subversion patches do not appear to be to blame. There appears to be no way to correct this errant behaviour. [05:15] Ah, the Ubuntu Software center uses hardcoded CSS.

[05:23] I can get skype to by doing this: bash -c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype' [05:23] corinth: make sure you pick the correct version of ubuntu [05:23] usacomputertec: Sorry, I don't know about Java and webcams. Flash, I might be able to help with. [05:24] prince_jammys, puregnime? [05:24] aschmitz maybe it's flash then [05:24] puregnome [05:24] usacomputertec: What program/website are you trying to use? [05:24] bastid_raZor: probably because it's easier to do now than when that doc was written [05:24] I'm using Lucid, bastid_raZor. Thanks though. [05:25] chat roulette [05:25] www.chatroulette.com [05:25] moody: Was the game microsia? [05:25] moody: http://www.microsia.de/ [05:25] nfearnley, thats it, thanks! [05:25] Hi [05:25] moody, n/p [05:25] Dmole i used lvextend -L +900G /dev/datavg/lv_video [05:25] !hi | astralpop [05:25] astralpop: 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! [05:26] Like I said in order to get my webcam working with skype I have to enter bash-c 'LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype' [05:26] It just crossed my mind I could ask my question here. [05:26] im trying to sync things using lftp via mirror, everything's fine but the permissions of the target file should be different from that of the source file. what option can i use so that the permissions of the uploaded files are then different? [05:26] I cant view embedded videos on web pages. [05:26] Can anyone help me with bluetooth reconnect issues for my bluetooth keyboard and mouse? [05:26] so maybe if I do the same and replace skype with googlechrome I'll get it to work? [05:26] usacomputertec: Try the same LD_PRELOAD with firefox (or chromium, or whatever you're using to browse with). [05:26] Dmole to expand but i nned to reduce lv-video to 700g to alow for my other lv's [05:27] astralpop, do u have java [05:27] Yes [05:27] Tried manually installing the latest as well. [05:27] astralpop, jdk6 [05:28] have that as well [05:28] it works [05:29] astralpop, shockwave flasdh [05:29] yep [05:29] flash [05:29] Both are confirming on their web sites as well. [05:30] !flash [05:30] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:30] astralpop, divx web player [05:30] Not wanting to flame, but why has Ubuntu 10.04 screwed up POT dial-up with the version of ppp it is using. I can get fedora 12 ppp (ver 2.4.5-8 ) to pap/chap authenticate a dial up session with no problems, but Ubuntu 10.04 ppp fails no matter what options I set in /etc/ppp/options etc. [05:30] Im pretty sure I have dixv web player [05:31] I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and my pc reboots when it tries to install to partition. i only have a sata hard drive plugged in, with all integrated periperhals turned off. i'm booting from a usb key. any ideas? [05:31] astralpop, open firefox click addons and see === tin is now known as Guest66209 [05:31] I'm confused on how to install the ppa for the gvfs package. Any help? [05:33] usacomputertec: Good to hear. I don't know if it'll work, but try creating /etc/ld.so.preload with the contents "/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" by itself. (You'll need to create the file as root, because it's in /etc.) [05:33] hi guys, what library/header needed for fixing Firefox tidy html addon? i'm using lucid ... [05:34] What's the proper way to unpack a tar.bz in terminal? [05:34] usacomputertec: (If that works, the webcam should work without any special launcher hijinks.) [05:34] corinth: tar xvjf [file.tar.bz] [05:34] corinth: tar xjf file [05:34] how odd [05:34] apparantly im in this channel twice [05:34] but i only have 1 copy of xchat going [05:35] corinth: (With or without the v is fine, the v just shows details.) [05:35] Thanks! === Sup|lobby is now known as SUPER === SUPER is now known as SuP|Lobby [05:35] rottenstock, u didnt properlly log out than don't worry [05:36] ok. [05:36] aschmitz: when you get a chance, could you help me with an installation issue? [05:37] Guys just in case you randomly needed a machine to duplicate tons of hard drives on: I just got everything working on this ASROCK 3-way crossfire board. Three Rocketraid 3420's and a whole lot of trayless hotswap bays on the front. It is amazing. [05:37] Apparently Bluray is possible on linux now: http://www.korben.info/lire-bluray-linux.html [05:37] Bash script to DD a bunch of /dev/sd devices. I'm set. [05:37] =D [05:37] Ellement: I can try, feel free to ask. [05:37] what library/header needed for fixing Firefox tidy html addon? i'm using lucid ... [05:38] Is there some way to adjust the mousewheel scroll speed in Ubuntu? [05:38] aschmitz: thanks, when i get to installtion ubuntu to my sata drive, its cut short within 1 min and reboots [05:39] Is there anyway to customize the CSS used in Ubuntu Software Center? [05:39] yes [05:39] I lost my panel when I login any help? [05:40] If I want to control one Ubuntu box from another, what server and client do I use? Remote Desktop is for Windows not Linux, right? [05:40] !panels | chuck_ [05:40] Ellement: That does seem rather odd. What's the last step it goes through before rebooting? [05:40] chuck_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:40] dj_segfault: You need a VNC client. [05:40] or ssh [05:40] nfearnley: And what do I run on the box to be controlled? [05:40] How to I install the ppa for gvfs and libgod4? [05:41] !vnc | dj_segfault [05:41] dj_segfault: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:41] iaschmitz: it starts installing to drive, its so quick to see but goe to about 15% then stops and moves on to something else at 0% then reboots shortly after. sorry for lack of info [05:41] dj_segfault: Ubuntu comes with a remote desktop server. It runs VNC server. [05:41] Ok, that worked. What horrible secuirty hole did I make? [05:41] aschmitz: i'm currently checking disc for defects [05:41] aschmitz: says no errors found [05:41] nfearnley: OK, but what app do I have to start to serve vnc? [05:41] bastid_raZor, boss will the panel be back next login? [05:41] Ellement: Huh. Well, there goes one possibility. Memory test? [05:42] Yea where is the control for mouse scrool speed ? [05:42] And is there a database format that allows you to stop media files within the database itself (audio, video, etc)? [05:42] aschmitz: ok ill try memory test. [05:42] Anyone know how to install babl? I'm having trouble using git. Don't know how to use git, really... [05:42] astralpop: There's no central one as far as I know. What kind of mouse are you using? [05:42] regular usb [05:42] chuck_: look in .xsession-errors .. see if there is a reason the gnome-panel died. [05:43] aschmitz: that looks at ram? [05:43] dj_segfault: System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [05:43] chuck_: and yes it should be there on a reboot [05:43] Ellement: Yep. [05:43] thank you again! [05:43] what library/header needed for fixing Firefox tidy html addon? i'm using lucid ... [05:43] aschmitz: ok test 3, at 21% and 4000 errors and counting [05:43] Ellement: Mm, that's a problem. [05:43] gedit /?/?/.xsessions-error? bastid_raZor [05:44] Ellement: Turn your computer off, try unplugging the RAM, and plug it back in, then try the memory test again. [05:44] aschmitz: ok good idea [05:44] chuck_: gedit ~/.xession-errors [05:44] Ellement: (Memory having errors means that unpredictable things will happen when running programs, including installation, so that's probably the source of your problem.) [05:45] o.O ty again! [05:45] nfearnley: Got it. Thanks. So do I use Remote Desktop Viewer on the controlling machine then? [05:45] julian_: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware [05:46] thanks thune3, i'm a little confused on how to actually get the ppa location. [05:46] Can anyone point me to where I can find a description of the network manager applet icons? [05:47] dj_segfault: Yes. That should work for Ubuntu <-> Ubuntu connections. If you need another OS support, there's plenty of free servers/clients. [05:47] nfearnley: OK, looks like a firewall issue is preventing it from working. I'll bang on that. Thanks [05:47] bastid_raZor, I see I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/shelby/.compiz/usr/bin/compiz (core) - warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth 32 [05:48] The problem is Im getting this blank icon with a red exclamation point when I connect to my N network [05:48] julian_: why are you using a ppa for gvfs? [05:48] darn compiz Q_Q [05:48] how can i format a drive in the native mac format so that it will be readable by osx? [05:48] hello bastid...actually, i don't know. It happens when I update. [05:48] Does anyone have Netflix streaming working in Ubuntu? (Outside of a VM) [05:48] julian_: ppa are for upgrading certian software to versions different/more recent than that available in the standard repos. Generally they are unnecessary. [05:48] julian_: remove the ppa, is my suggestion. [05:49] ok, I'll just leave it alone then. thanks for your help. How would i remove it? just uncheck "ppa" from software sources? [05:49] Ive looked all over and for the life of me I cant find a simple description of icons [05:49] julian_: yes [05:49] i am the worst on partitioning/// so i need help i need to partion my thumb drive 1 gb of fat 32 and the other side as ext2 [05:50] ok, thanks again bastid_raZor and thune3. I really appreciate it. [05:50] aschmitz: ok took all mem sticks except one, will try mem test again [05:50] hiexpo: You can use gparted. Why are you trying to do ext2 on most of it? [05:51] just cannot get this older ubuntu machine to shut down on command just restarts everytime [05:51] aschmitz, because i am going to update a live cd system [05:51] Right. these icons are beyond everyone [05:51] hi everyone, i accidentally have removed the package that taskbar needs and now i can only see the desktop and the icons on it! Can anybody help? Please... [05:52] hiexpo: Ah, fun. I'd use gparted, but you may have to install it. It'll show up under System->Administration->gparted. Otherwise, you may try System->Administration->Disk Utility. [05:52] hi everyone. how do i get higer than native resolution on my laptop with legacy radeon driver? my current "native" resolution is 1366x768 but i want to try 1440x900 "higher than native" resolution. I added a modeline for "1440x900@60" in the monitor section and added entry for it in the display section in my xorg.conf. I am on lucid btw. Any ideas? [05:52] GRIM-mobile, what kind of discription are you looking for?? [05:52] higher* [05:52] Which package do i need to re-install??? [05:52] chuck_: i normally see tons of compiz errors/warnings .. nearly all can be ignored [05:52] is anyone knows what library/header needed for fixing Firefox tidy html addon? i'm using lucid ... [05:52] Just a simple description of what the icons mean [05:52] naftilos76: reisntall it? what did u remove? [05:52] aschmitz, ya i knowall that other stuff lol thanx [05:52] !panel | naftilos76 [05:52] thanks!!! [05:53] !resetpanels | naftilos76 [05:53] naftilos76: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:53] naftilos76: try that first. see if the panels come back [05:53] How should I set up users for a server application (ie. what parameters to adduser)? [05:53] GRIM-mobile, on gnome? if so where exactly? === mickster14 is now known as mickster04 [05:54] I cannot get this my custom resolution to show up in System>Pref>Monitors. I added a modeline for "1440x900@60" in the monitor section and added entry for it in the display section in my xorg.conf. [05:54] Ellement: If it looks like it's working on the one stick, I'd try adding them back in until you have a problem, because more RAM is usually useful in a computer. [05:54] cozziemoto: If standard ubuntu that you get from the site is gnome then yes, And the icons for network manager applet [05:54] GRIM-mobile, ah I see hold on let me open that [05:54] hmm then I wonder what could have caused the crash... [05:55] How should I set up a dedicated user for a TF2 server (ie. what parameters to adduser)? [05:55] thanks for the help bastid_raZor! [05:55] stuart_: it isn't out for *nix yet is it? [05:55] aschmitz: ok dill do [05:55] chuck_: good luck :) [05:55] GRIM-mobile, ok are you opening system /preferences/ network connections or system/administration/network tools ?? [05:56] mickster04: source dedicated server has always been out for Linux [05:56] stuart_: oh yeah fair point [05:56] can someone help me with this http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#pki ? [05:56] cozziemoto: Im refering to the applet in the taskbar. I would like a page with a description of what the icons it displays mean [05:56] Ellement: (Er, by "until you have a problem," I mean "until the memory test shows a problem," because otherwise you'll have unpredictable errors. You don't really have to wait for the whole thing to finish, just let it go for a minute or so.) [05:56] I got VNC remote connection from one Ubuntu system (A) the other (B), and (A) can control (B), but once (A) displays (B)'s screen, it never changes on (A) even though it changes on (B). All I ever see is the initial image. Am I doing something wrong? [05:57] if i was trying to install the nvidia graphics driver (195...), is it a red light if it gives errors on the "pre-install" script? [05:57] anybody? [05:57] x_: saying anybody won't help you at all... [05:57] I've uploaded my xorg.conf to pastebin if anybody wants to have a look [05:57] hbsmiley7, install the nvidia_current driver [05:57] somebody? [05:58] aschmitz: ok [05:58] http://pastebin.com/bYzxBt5w [05:58] !return [05:58] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:58] x_ - if your xorg.conf is broken, usually the safest bet is to mv it to xorg.conf.bak and restart [05:58] niku, its not broken .. i am still at native res [05:58] Ok, well if there isnt a page that describes the network manager applet icons can anyone tell me what a greyed out icon with a red exclamtion point means? [05:58] The connection works fine [05:59] x_ then take look at jocky [05:59] i want to be able to switch to a custom resolution [05:59] cozziemoto: how would one do that? [05:59] x_ or xrandr [05:59] jocky? is it an application i install on my lucid? [05:59] hbsmiley7, go into system/administration/hardware drivers [05:59] hbsmiley7, choose the nvidia_current [05:59] GRIM-mobile, let me google [06:00] x_ if you drop down to a terminal, and type jocky and then hit the tab key it will show one thats like "jocky-gtk" or somthing similar [06:00] niku .. i am googling it. thanks [06:00] cozziemoto: Hehe good luck :) [06:00] How do I use git clone to install something? babl, specifically. I know the url is git://git.gnome.org/babl [06:00] x_, xrandr will allow you to change the resolution from the command line [06:00] ok. will get back [06:00] cozziemoto: thanks for the help [06:00] has anyone heard or tried using gmabooster? [06:01] hbsmiley7, did you get that installed? [06:01] hbsmiley7, if so reboot the computer [06:01] jockey-gtk says no proprietary drivers. ... btw i am on a radeon legacy driver ... old x1200 chipset on my laptop [06:01] dj_segfault: Did you make sure to select VNC as your protocol? [06:02] What's the command to search for "whatever" channels? [06:02] niku xrandr reports 1366 as the higest resolution [06:02] x_ then try the xrandr see if it supports higher resoltions w/ the native drivers [06:02] x_: an RS690M ? [06:02] i want 1440 [06:02] oh yeah [06:02] bastid_raZor: Back in order! Thanks guys [06:02] cozziemoto: i have a unique problem with my setup since I have dual video cards and it never wants to update xorg automatically to reflect that, so i'll figure that out first before reboot, haha [06:02] bastid_raZor, niku yes R690M [06:03] nfearnley: Yes. As I said, it now connects and I see the screen, but it never changes on the controlling computer, even though it's really controlling and changing things on the controlled computer. [06:03] i have added a modeline in my xorg.conf ... but i cannot select it [06:03] x_ just pop on the command line and run xrandr, if it supports that high with the current driver, it will show it as an option [06:03] dj_segfault: What are the server settings? [06:03] x_: i have the exact card in this laptop.. 1280x800@60 is the best i can do [06:03] x_, the driver may not support higher than that w/ the open source driver [06:04] yeah ... but i want a higher than native resolution ... which does not list in the xrandr list [06:04] you could check the "linux hardware database" to check for the correct driver [06:04] like, virtual resolution? [06:04] niku ... this driver came with the distro (10.04) [06:04] hbsmiley7, ah I see... I dont have any experience with more than one video card... sorry :) [06:04] hbsmiley7, although I have talked with people with 2 and 4 nvidia cards [06:05] x_: the radeon driver [06:05] i yes non-native scaled down resolution [06:05] yes [06:05] nfearnley: Allow others to view/control, I put in a password to require, configure network automatically to accept connections. [06:05] Ellement: Does it seem to be going okay? [06:05] Can I install Ubuntu 10 Lucid but omit a few applications that I never use and never have used? If so, is it a minimal install or is there a Net Install where I can pre-select what Applications/Software are loaded before commiting to install? [06:05] x_ - I dunno man, I don't specialize in x. you could try the x.org mailinglist [06:06] !minimal | Vigo [06:06] Vigo: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [06:06] cozziemoto: well wish me luck, I have tried this plenty of times and never been successful, and then I get fed up and go back to windows for a while... and then get fed up with windows and the process repeats, haha [06:06] aschmitz: i have 3/4 sticks in and doing test, so far so good [06:06] dj_segfault: I'm not sure how to help you then. You'll have to see if someone else knows more. [06:06] I'm trying to setup a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. They both pair correctly, connect and work. After they are disconnected, they won't reconnect unless I remove the pairing and re-pair them. What can I do to allow them to automatically reconnect? [06:06] i tried different options like setting UseEDID "false" but to no avail [06:06] Vigo: From there, you won't have any X, you'll have to install packages as you go to meet your desires. [06:06] nfearnley: ok, thanks. [06:06] red2kic: Thank you. [06:06] x_: try mv .bak and restarting, then readding the line if it doen't appear, you are probably using he vesa drivers though:/ [06:07] on my intel graphics on my desktop i could run at hierh than native resolutin easily [06:07] I love high resolutins [06:07] mickster04, http://pastebin.com/bYzxBt5w which line? [06:08] I have a question regarding user accounts [06:08] Lt_Wolf, i HATE low resolutions [06:08] Anyone know how I could prevent Pidgin from sporting annoying square-brackets around window titles? [06:08] bastid_raZor, u still around? I reboot and still not there. [06:08] i know quality is best at native ... but i have some applications which i am used to at higher resolutions [06:09] x_: have you actually tried backing up and restarting. I have a funny feeling it may well help. even if it just cleans up your xorg.conf [06:09] Oh wait, it's for all windows that have updated since last focus. [06:09] yes i tried rebooting. restarting x ... breaking x .. correcting syntax errors .. rebooting over and over [06:09] chuck_: which version of ubuntu are you using? [06:09] Any one good at knowing how to restrict accounts? [06:10] 10.04 [06:10] what package that contains libxpcom.so ? [06:10] ^ mickster04 [06:10] this is the current xorg.conf that is loaded right now ... with the modeline .... but i cannot choose it [06:10] What is the IRC commands that will allow me to search for particular channels? [06:10] qiut [06:10] quit [06:10] So is there any way to disable the square bracket encasing for minimized window titles? [06:11] x_: you still haven [06:11] x_: you still haven't removed the corg.conf:/ [06:11] aschmitz: ok i have isolated the bad ram. should i now try install? [06:11] red2kic: It's much easier to do it from the freenode website [06:11] red2kic: Wowies, that is a 20mb .ISO, do I need one of those tiny CD-Rs or can I use a CD-RW and re use it after install? [06:11] chuck_: do you get any results from this: ps aux | grep -i gnome-panel [06:11] mickster04, removed it? as in delete it? [06:12] x_: no as in sudo mv corg.vonf.bk [06:12] x_: no as in sudo mv corg.conf.bk [06:12] Vigo: Mmm. Do what you want. You even can burn 20BMB onto the dvd. [06:12] x_: its as good as removing it without deleting it [06:12] one sec bastid_raZor need to plug in this laptop and will try it asap [06:12] Vigo: It's just small, but the latest packages will be retrieved from the Internet. [06:12] Ellement: Yep, as long as the bad RAM is out. [06:13] aschmitz: great. will try now [06:13] Anyway to disable the square brackets in GNOME for minimized window titles? [06:13] Vigo: Just don't use any metapackages (ie ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop) but ubuntu-minimal should be enabled though. [06:13] yeah ... mickster04 i actually messed up my xorg.conf earlier .... which failed and i asked X to create a new one ... this is the fresh one ... with the added modeline. do you want me to recreate the xorg.conf afresh? btw 1440 is not what is going to be detected coz it is not in the EDID of my monitor ... i want to go higher than native here [06:14] red2kic: Okee dokee, Thank you, that is what I wanted, a Net Install doo-hicky, this way I can sorta custom spin it, I think? [06:14] bastid_raZor, yes I got something [06:14] aLemmer: might this help? https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/255316 === Zed` is now known as Zed [06:15] Aw, I was hoping there was a way around that after Google-searching. [06:15] chuck_: more than : grep -i gnome-panel [06:15] Vigo: Sure. You will want to install gnome-core (if you like Gnome) and gdm and few other packages. It should pull in dependencies and viola! [06:15] yes [06:15] x_: oh well no idea then: if you created a fresh one already this wouldn't help anymore...altho it may have just tried to fix the previous one rather than start from scratch, i dunno if that would make a difference [06:15] pattern [06:15] mickster04, i have 2-3 backups lol [06:15] red2kic: That is the "and type "sudo tasksel" part? [06:16] x_: heh, nm [06:16] righ im off [06:16] i should be asleep [06:16] Vigo: Yes, metapackages generally are listed in "sudo tasksel" [06:16] chuck_: type killall gnome-panel .. do the panels show up after about 5 seconds [06:16] it was so easy with the intel drivers ... no problemo .. add modeline .. select it ..voila ... but am sstuck on this on my laptop [06:16] red2kic: Thank you kindly. [06:16] red2kic, Vigo - if you install ubuntu-desktop, that's the gnome meta-package [06:16] w/ all the dependencies and goodies [06:16] no [06:17] gave me a bash error bastid_raZor [06:17] aschmitz: install going well so far [06:17] Help, I need to get my ATI M4 graphics working.. [06:17] chuck_: what was the error? [06:17] sorry fat fingered the command [06:17] Ellement: Cool. [06:17] yes panels back [06:17] I'm having a problem getting Tor to run on Firefox in Lucid Lynx [06:17] anybody with Xorg+radeon experience going higher than native resolution? [06:17] I have an onion address I want to open, so I installed Tor from torproject [06:17] I also installed the torbutton addon to firefox [06:18] can only run in low res failsafe [06:18] Every time I turn on torbutton I get "Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." [06:18] me too [06:18] Any solutions? [06:18] niku: Ut Oh. so if I chose Gnome I would get Bluez, Cloud and Aisleroot solitaire and stuff? [06:19] niku, Vigo: Ubuntu-desktop will pull in gnome-core -- but that's not same as gnome-core pulling in ubuntu-desktop since ubuntu-desktop have many packages tied up as dependencies (ie tomboy, lolgames, openoffices, etc). [06:19] it shows 4 different resolutions but all but one are 61MHz and those give me a diagonal pic [06:19] So there really isn't a configuration file for setting minimized window titles? [06:19] Vigo: gnome-core won't pull in bluetooth. You'll have to install them yourself. :) [06:20] red2kic: Okee dokee that is what I was sorta aiming for, I have a custom spin of 8.04.3, but it is getting tired now. [06:20] Vigo, yes, as opposed to gnome-core which will just be the desktop, gtk, and basics [06:20] yes panels back bastid_raZor [06:21] alguem poderia me ajudar === marcio is now known as Guest9851 [06:21] Vigo: Nice. :) [06:21] Vigo, red2koc had described it correctly, ubuntu-destkop includes gnome-core [06:21] chuck_: and you didn't see anything in .xsession-errors about gnome-panel ? [06:21] niku, any X related channel I can checkup on? [06:21] como eu poderia fazer o meu hotmail funcionar no ubuntu [06:21] no but i will look again bastid_raZor [06:21] x_ not sure, I'd think mailing lists are the way to go [06:21] Guest9851, #ubuntup-pt [06:21] Okay... annoying as hell: how do I adjust my mousewheel's scroll speed?? [06:21] ty [06:21] aschmitz: is it possible to login to ubuntu from mac or pc without having to be logged in already on the ubuntu machine? [06:21] Guest9851, #ubuntup-br , desculpe, este e o certo [06:21] x_ slower response time, but it will reach a large number of x specialists [06:21] Ellement, y [06:22] Ellement: ssh [06:22] haha [06:22] q [06:22] Ellement, ssshh! [06:22] i think somone may already have raised such a common issue ... tried google .. then came here [06:22] haha [06:22] Ellement: Using ssh will get you a command prompt. [06:22] Yes bastid_raZor [06:23] Is there a some sort of quick guide to netbooks, and which are compatible with ubuntu, what problems they have with ubuntu, etc? I'm SICK of googling! LOL [06:23] GLiB-Critcal error [06:23] Also, you can use NX, I think. (Haven't used it, personally, though.) [06:23] Ellement, also, if you want a desktop, you can use vnc, or the linux terminal services [06:23] chuck_: what is the error? [06:23] !nx | Ellement [06:23] Ellement: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [06:23] gnome auth agent-1:1516 [06:23] thanks [06:23] Ellement, if you ssh -X linux_machine [06:23] sorry cannot copy and past on netbook and pc with dead panel also has no network connection atm [06:23] red2kic, niku: So I select gnome-core then spin them in as needed or required? [06:24] Vigo, you can do it that way, although it's usually easier to remove stuff after [06:24] do i need to install anything on ubuntu. i want to to login to desktop [06:24] Ellement, you can launch a command and have it show up on max/win box [06:24] FreeNX looks like it will do what i wamt [06:24] Vigo: gnome-core gdm x11-xserver-utils [06:25] Ellement, I'd look @ vnc: you can install a vnc server through synaptic, or ubuntu software manager [06:25] chuck_: normally the gnome-panel fails to start when an applet that is added crashes.. the first command i gave you should have removed that thoug. [06:25] Vigo: Then you add what you want, themes and applications. [06:25] vnc ok will look into that also [06:25] chuck_: i have to sleep, work in 4 hours. [06:25] bastid_raZor, I can now give u exact error msg if that helps [06:25] ok sir I will do some googling [06:25] ok so i install vnc server on ubuntu and vnc viewer on client pc or mac? [06:26] chuck_: best of luck. [06:26] thank you sir! bastid_raZor [06:26] Ellement, yes. You'll need to start the vnc server, but that's fairly straight forward [06:26] *nix help please: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=H09UPmVa [06:27] Ellement, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 [06:27] niku, red2kic: Thank you kindly, this should be fun and I need the learning experience to show others it can be done on sight. [06:27] can i start vnc server and then logout? so i can then login remotely with different account tho? [06:27] ex-chat [06:28] Vigo: The same idea can be applied for just about anything. I wanted a media center and nothing else. So I start off with few essential packages then xbmc (popular media center). Eventually I add samba and cups (for printer sharing). Kinda making it my home server + media center. :) [06:28] Vigo, if you're in it for the learning, you should check out an ubuntu online class http://www.ubuntu.com/support/training [06:29] sorry got disconnected by last question was: can i start vnc server and then logout? so i can then login remotely with different account tho? [06:29] Is there a some sort of quick guide to netbooks, and which are compatible with ubuntu, what problems they have with ubuntu, etc? I'm SICK of googling! LOL [06:29] Ellement - you should be able to have multiple different accounts logged in @ the same time w/ different users [06:30] niku: ah ok [06:30] lifestream, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [06:30] lifestream, also, basically all dell machines [06:30] niku, you mean the ones sold with ubuntu [06:30] lifestream, since they offer to install ubuntu instead of windows [06:31] niku: but a user has to be logged in at any time for vnc server? [06:31] niku, thank you for the link [06:31] red2kic, niku: I did the same with Media Ubuntu before it was recognized, and niku, I like those classes, I passed them when they were free back in Dapper Daze. But I thank you kindly for the heads up on it. [06:31] Is there anyway to manipulate the window title behavior in Gnome? [06:31] umm, so i am getting failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module after running "sudo nvidia-xconfig -a" [06:31] Ellement, you can disconnect, and leave the session running and re-connect to it [06:31] hbsmiley7, try using jocky-gtk [06:31] and if i try to start gdm i get the same error, it's fatal [06:32] hbsmiley7, that may not be exactly the right command name, but it's close [06:32] should load the module if it's not installed correctly. Sometimes after you've upgraded the kernel, a module can get borked [06:32] niku: on windows server for instance u can logout, i cant emulate that on ubuntu? [06:33] Ellement, you can log out, and then log back in, or you can terminate the session [06:33] Hey. Does anyone know how to "burn" a bootable ISO to a USB drive? It's not a Linux ISO, so I can't use the startup disk creator. [06:33] it's basically a rdp altenrative [06:33] niku: i had to use jockey-text, i can't get X running, and anyways it just through warnings at me and stopped searching for drivers [06:33] monokrome, unetbootin or something [06:34] niku: threw* [06:34] hbsmiley7, yeesh. :) [06:34] niku: No other tools? [06:34] hbsmiley7, running it w/ sudo? [06:34] monokrome: dd? ;o [06:34] dd wouldn't work [06:34] the mv your xorg.conf to xorg.conf.back [06:34] monokrome: Why not? [06:34] niku: I thought unetbootin was only for Linux ISOs [06:35] niku: now i am, same result [06:35] red2kic: Try it [06:35] aLemmer: Yes, there are a few ways, Appearance and Settings or add a Compiz, AWN. gDesklets or some such thing, but those are not really needed, in Main Menu or Appearance or gconf it can be done easily. [06:35] niku: ok thanks [06:35] Am trying to "burn" a bootable iso to a usb flash drive(From winSP pro sp3) and am getting errors. What i've done: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=H09UPmVa [06:35] monokrome: Try http://pastebin.com/gm3zxNps [06:35] monokrome, ah, I assumed that's what you were doing - in that case, not sure [06:36] hbsmiley7, ok - this is an odd one on linux, but try rebooting === DeliriumTremens is now known as DeliriumBromens [06:36] hbsmiley7, w/o the xorg.conf x should startup and build a failsafe xorg.conf [06:37] !usb | SReject [06:37] SReject: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent === DeliriumBromens is now known as DeliriumTremens [06:37] red2kic: That looks like it worked [06:37] We'll see where a reboot goes. [06:37] Thanks. [06:37] monokrome: Excellent. *crackles* [06:37] niku: i doubt it will work, but i value your opinion over my own so here it goes, haha [06:38] aschmitz: installed successfully. thanks for all your help [06:39] hbsmiley7, its sort of a last-ditcher. If that doesn't work, you should find the nvidia packages and do an apt-get purge whatever_the_nvidia_package_is ; then an apt-get install to re-install it [06:39] Ellement: Sounds great. Glad I could help. Have a good time with your new installation! [06:39] niku: well i'll be damned [06:40] hbsmiley7, ;) [06:40] Ok, two .ISOs burned, Minimal and Alternate, before I delve into this, any errors or problems with two or three Grub Distros on one HDD? [06:40] niku: it worked, surprisingly, i'll be sure to check out what it did to the xorg. you have no idea how long i have been not using ubuntu because every time i tried i could never figure out the errors i had after install the nvidia drivers [06:41] Vigo: Expect problems is all I have to say. Nothing ever go the way you like it. [06:41] niku: you are a gentlemen and a scholar [06:41] hbsmiley7, haha. No worries. Rebooting does two things: it re-loads all the kernel modules (fixes one of the potential problems) and rebuilds the config file (other major potential problem) [06:41] aschmitz: thanks [06:42] hbsmiley7, glad to have helped. if you want a line by line comparison, do a diff xorg.conf xorg.conf.back [06:42] red2kic: That is why Backups are made on a rotating and incremental basis. [06:42] Nope, red2kic. Doesn't work. [06:43] monokrome: What ISO is it anyway? Bootable ISO? [06:43] iBoot [06:43] iBoot/nVidia for installing OS X on a PC [06:44] What command can you use to locate a file through terminal? [06:44] mmfb: locate zomg.txt [06:44] i need help with making my wireless work [06:44] no networks show up in the list [06:44] hbsmiley7: Please post any fixes or resolutions on the Ubuntu Forums so that others may use them, and thank you niku. [06:44] monokrome: Check this out. [06:44] niku: yeah, i'm looking at it now. it does what it should have done initially, i just have no idea how this time it worked rather than any other time, considering restarting was a common time when i thought i figured it out but only had my dreams torn apart when it errored again [06:44] !burning | monokrome [06:44] monokrome: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[06:45] How do you know what to call the file when you input the command "locate file.run" ? [06:46] mmfb, are you trying to find a specific file, or contents in a file?

I'm not sure what the folder would exactly be called. [06:46] red2kic: Specifically to CDs :( [06:47] monokrome: Oh you want USB or something?

[06:47] mmfb: "sudo updatedb && locate enemy" -- Try that [06:48] any one guys have experience over pptp issues [06:48] mmfb, Ok, I doubt that's the name of the actual file, but locate, or find, will match parts of a file name. I'd do something like "find / -name '*olfen*' 2>/dev/null" [06:48] red2kic: That script you showed me did put the files on the disc, but it's not bootable. [06:48] but locate may be nicer. [06:49] red2kic: That command worked for me, thanks. [06:49] niku: can you give an example for using locate? :D [06:49] mmfb: Np. [06:49] i have weird issue am unable to trace pptp client keep discounting within 120 sec of connection or less [06:49] monokrome: I wonder if gparted can make it bootable.

There are flags in gparted that you can toggle on to 'boot' [06:50] monokrome: Take it out and plug it in aain. [06:51] locate works red2kic mentioned. basically just "locate file_you_are_looking_for" [06:51] can you use an asterisk as a wildcard? [06:52] why does it say my account password is expired everytime i try to type in my password [06:52] (i had actually missed the example red2kic gave until after i asked for an example lol) [06:52] greenjon: Don't use asterisk.

[07:16] aLemmer: It is no different than SUPER + E to bring up Explorer.exe in Windows. :) [07:16] Well in Windows you can bring up the application menu with the super key.

Any ideas? [07:36] gotcha.. still dont get what the t menas [07:36] or even the d [07:37] banker247: usually, write privileges go to the owner, and maybe to the group. don't worry about 't' for now. [07:37] learn the other stuff first [07:37] banker247: learn 's', 't', once you grasped the basic stuff === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O [07:38] hmm i dunno why but.. i have a crash dir in my /var [07:38] that's fine [07:38] and its drwxrwxrwt [07:38] !fsh [07:39] thats not good i take it? [07:39] When I try to boot my windows partition from grub, it says it cannot find the device [07:39] its looking at hd1'1 and my windows partition is sda1. So that is fine right?

[07:40] banker247: hell no [07:40] prince_jammys why would you want "other" to have ability to do anything? [07:41] it seems to me that the "other" group isn't really necessary [07:41] banker247: take a file like /usr/bin/gnome-terminal. if 'other' can't read it, YOU can't read it [07:42] banker247: you wouldn't be able to run programs you don't own [07:42] prince_jammys unless I'm root right? [07:42] right [07:42] or.. [07:42] i assign the file to root:username? [07:42] no, you leave it alone :) [07:43] banker247, too many usernames to deal with that way. [07:43] seriously, you can cause *major* damage this way. apply permissions to select files you need to control. [07:44] still doesn't explain why my var/crash/ has drwxrwxrwt [07:44] is it because some "other" program can write a log to it if need be? [07:44] means that whoever owns the file is the only one who can delete it [07:44] banker247: yes [07:45] IdleOne, - i never hear u anymore ?

Thanks in advance === [SW]Dodge`oFF is now known as [SW]Dodge [08:00] ManDay: for symbolic stuff I use maple.. I haven't really found anything free that I like [08:00] Slart, proprietary software makes me vomit [08:00] Slart, scilab, maxima, scipy/sage they are all great [08:01] i dont have any expierence with symbolic things tho [08:01] ManDay: mm.. scilab has it's quirks.. scipy is on my list of stuff to try though [08:01] what problems do you have with scilab? [08:02] ManDay: I can't really remember at the moment.. I think I had some installation problems and then there was something else that bothered me.. might have been some extra packages that weren't available.. matlab, proprietary or not, comes with lots and lots of toys =) [08:02] prince_jammys i'm not using X.. using -R [08:03] Im trying to install gnome, ive tried both Synaptic and apt-get I keep getting "Depends swfdec-mozilla but is not going to be installed" when I install that package manually it tells me "Depends Epiphany-something but is not going to be installed" when I manually install that package, it removes swfdec-mozilla [08:03] its really ticking me off because im trying to compile screem but I don't have the gnome libraries needed for it. [08:03] is there a way I can force the install? [08:04] Slart, if I were you I'd franky give it another try. I've been using scilab like forever, it has gone through many major improvements and is very good to my opinion. the ponly problem that i might have with it is that it really has no symbolic powers whatsoever - but it offers interfaces to many other apps which can do that for you if you really need it [08:05] Slart, don't get me wrong but I think if you know your arsenal the open software realm offers you more tools in sum than matlab and maple do together. you will have to pick them manually but alltogether if you know the right packages open can do anything that propritary can (unless you have really VERY specific needs) [08:06] how come that the sage webpage has a dedicated 10.4 ubuntu package but sage is not packed in the repos? [08:06] Taev: The gnome-meta packages don't get much love in Ubuntu. That breakage was a known bug; I generally recommend installing gnome-desktop-environment instead and installing any extra packages you want on top of that manually. [08:06] prince_jammys so the key here is not to have "other" be able to write files [08:07] banker247: yes, that's important. [08:07] Taev: (generally, Ubuntu people go with ubuntu-desktop rather than the Gnome packages) [08:07] prince_jammys because then people can just run around deleting stuff right [08:07] Slart, besides if you are familar with matlab scilab is pretty close and, if im not wrong about matlab, is far ahead of the latter for the many interfaces it has [08:07] banker247: yes [08:07] banker247: even by accident [08:08] well i need the libraries to install screem [08:08] i can't believe they didn't include screem or quanta in ubuntu 10 [08:08] those were the only 2 good HTML editors available [08:08] ManDay: if the choice was between open source only or proprietary stuff only I would go open source all the way.. but if I have to chose from open source or (open source and proprietary) the later has more features etc etc.. [08:08] banker247: if a non-admin user tries to say, write to a file like /etc/passwd (by some accidental command), it fails. [08:08] Im really not happy that they are going to stop supporting 8.04 [08:08] !html is old. [08:08] Taev: the "gnome" package likely wouldn't install development headers anyway. If you tell me which library it's complaining about missing, I can point you to a specific package. [08:08] * bleah hy [08:09] my server runs on 8.04, and the upgrade option has broken numerous systems I've tried it on. [08:09] Wait? Did I just did a factoid request? o.O [08:09] red2kic: yes [08:09] ManDay: but this is getting offtopic.. and I feel the need for some breakfast.. I'll be back later [08:09] rww: Heh. That was unintentional. [08:09] slart: ManDay: Your best bet is Sage. [08:10] Taev: Ubuntu Server 8.04 is supported for five years, so until 2013... [08:11] (Desktop is until next April) [08:11] rather than post them all [08:11] i took a screenshot [08:11] http://djs.homelinux.com/images/misc/screenshot.png [08:11] enjoy it Slart [08:11] Taev: You tried Bluefish + KompoZer? [08:12] No. I like Screem [08:12] prince_jammys technically you can't take nay privlidges away from root os having rwxrwx for a file owned by root:root is reduntant? [08:12] Appl6, after taking a brief look at maxima and being a yet-to-learn-fan of python i agree that sage looks promising [08:12] its saying I don't have package Libgnome-menu2 [08:13] but when i search in synaptic [08:13] its installed [08:13] I just wonder why sage is not the repositiores [08:13] anybody want to help with wifi card issues [08:13] Taev: looks like quanta is in still available in universe repository, for 10.04 http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/quanta [08:13] my back is hurting from my short ethernet cable, [08:13] Anyone know of some flat monochrome icons for Gnome? I'm having troubles sifting through Gnome-Look. [08:14] ManDay: Sage includes maxima, and can call anything from maxima. It is a strict superset. You also mentioned scipy as a symbolic mathematics package, which is wrong. [08:14] banker247: root can be told that a file isn't executable, though of course can then change permissions. [08:14] Taev: is there a package ending in -dev with a similar name? That's probably what it actually wants. [08:15] i did not mention scipy as being symbolic Appl6 - this must be a misunderstanding [08:16] my ubuntu 10.04 64 bit doesn't star regularly some times a black screen to sing in opens... [08:16] can you help me? [08:16] well it says I need libgnome-2.0 [08:16] i have libgnome-2.0 installed === Fly is now known as Guest3211 [08:16] ManDay: sagemath was apparently removed from Ubuntu because it depends on python 2.5. [08:17] ManDay: per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pychecker/+bug/516932 [08:17] what is the xorg config command on ubuntu? [08:17] its telling me i don't have these packages installed [08:17] but synaptic says i do [08:17] rww, are you impyling that it cannot be run on 2.6? [08:18] rww, I thought SAGE included a bundled version of python [08:18] Taev: screem was dropped for lucid "(From Debian) RoQA; inactive maintainer, dead upstream, buggy, depends on deprecated libraries" in ref. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/screem/0.16.1-4.2ubuntu1 [08:18] ManDay: no, I'm implying that the package in Ubuntu and Debian at the time was set to use 2.5 [08:18] ManDay: if it did, that would have been patched out to make it use the system python. [08:19] well regardless [08:19] hey everyone, I'm having problems installing google gadgets on 9.10, I cant find any .debs for it, nothing conclusive is on google, and on the software center it's telling me that it's not available in current data. I checked the software sources, and I have multiverse and universe checked, but nothing... any ideas? [08:19] hi [08:19] when i try and compile its telling me I need those packages [08:19] but I have those packages installed === Guest3211 is now known as Flyzoola [08:19] Taev: as I've said, it probably needs a package with a similar name with -dev on the end, not the package it's listing === red2kic is now known as Flyswatter [08:20] i just installed all the -dev and dbg packages [08:20] nothing [08:20] rww, so there is actually no reason for it not being in the repos right *now*, do I get this right? [08:20] same thing [08:20] * Flyswatter smacks down Flyzoola === Flyswatter is now known as red2kic [08:20] Hi. When I extract a .rar file nothing inside gets extracted. What's a tool for extracting .rar that works? [08:20] an package is depending on another but the system apparently calls this needed package by another name, what do I do? [08:20] denis12345: Install rar unrar [08:20] ManDay: The version in Debian appears to /still/ require python2.5, which means either the Debian maintainer doesn't care enough to fix it or it needs 2.5. Ubuntu does not ship Python 2.5. [08:20] libgtkhtml-2.0 not found, but libgtkhtml, libgtkhtml-dev, and libgtkhtml-dbg are installed [08:20] force install the package?? [08:21] red2kick haha I know, I put a nickname when I added this account to my pidgin but it just didn't register [08:21] red2kic: ok found em. Will give it a shot thanks [08:21] rww, is Py 2.6 not backwards compatible to 2.5 o_O ? [08:21] ok fine can some one name a good HTML Editor [08:21] for Lucid [08:21] red2kic: worked. Thanks!! [08:22] denis12345: Great. :) [08:22] rww, I'm just judging from the sage website where they offer an ubuntu 10.4 LTS packed package [08:22] Taev: does source have ./configure script ? to tell you if it found what it needed [08:23] well i guess ill just use bluefish [08:23] Taev: Bluefish? Geany. [08:23] ManDay: as far as I can see, those are .tar.gz files, not actual packages. === KungFuBe1r|Work is now known as KungFuBear [08:23] to be honest I am really not feeling that great about Lucid, nor am I happy about being forced to upgrade my server from 8.04 or stop receiving updates. [08:23] <`boz> hi all i have just installed ubuntu 9.04 on an asus laptop, all seems well however unable to play a standard dvd [08:24] my ubuntu 10.04 64 bit doesn't star regularly some times a black screen to sing in opens,what should i do to fix it? [08:24] Taev: Server 8.04 is supported until 2013. If five years isn't a long enough support period for you, you're using the wrong distro. [08:24] I'm having problems installing google gadgets on 9.10, I cant find any .debs for it, nothing conclusive is on google, and on the software center it's telling me that it's not available in current data. I checked the software sources, and I have multiverse and universe checked, but nothing... any ideas? [08:24] Taev: I'm not sure how a server is relevent to a HTML editor anyway, since Ubuntu Server isn't GUI-based, but still. [08:24] yeah well that still doesn't solve my dilema. the "upgrade operating system" feature stinks [08:25] I've hosed about 5 installs trying it [08:25] rww, I've just downloaded the 10.4 one - I asumme it has an installer and will simply install like any other binary - its not far from that to become a package - what else makes up a real package? [08:25] as a test before I did it with my server [08:25] rww: The ideal is that the servers aren't GUI-based but I bet you some of the servers are GUI-based. :O [08:25] i really don't want to reconfigure apache, MySQL databases, and everything else on my server [08:25] ManDay: the ability to uninstall it, conformance to Ubuntu policy, updates, etc. [08:26] hi all!! [08:26] rww, ok, thanks [08:26] red2kic: Ubuntu Server (which s/he said s/he's using) + GUI = not Ubuntu Server. There's a list of packages covered by Server support lengths, they're not GUI. [08:26] I use plain old 8.04 as my web server and other stuff [08:26] ManDay: Sage provides precompiled binaries for certain distributions; I think that's what you downloaded. [08:26] just because Im serving stuff doesn't mean I don't want a GUI to do other stuff [08:26] I'm chatting on my server right now. [08:26] Taev: 8.04 server will be supported untill 2013. [08:27] Jordan_U: the GUI packages s/he's apparently installed on it aren't. [08:27] yeah but what Im saying is I'm still between a rock and a hard place because the 5 test systems I've tried the automated "upgrade" option has hosed them all [08:27] Hello. I use kubuntu, i have laptop on compal HEL80 and combination of Fn+F2 is not work, what can i do?. [08:27] Taev: As you keep saying. It might be a good idea to diagnose that problem at some point. [08:27] and I don't really want to reconfigure everything or encounter "this particular package isn't included in Lucid" so I have to find another package and configure everything else to work with it. [08:27] can a sh file script I guess just be as simple as adding command lines into it like cp file file2 next line cp back back2? [08:28] the problem is Ubuntu's upgrade option [08:28] Kane_Hart: Sure. $1 $2 $3 [08:28] Appl6, Yes, **** its just a binary, no installer [08:28] I've tried it on 2 virtual machines, and on 3 different boxes [08:28] adobe has present flash player 10.1 for linux. is it better to install the deb package from here : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ or to copy the file from tar package to /home/mozilla/plug-in folder ?

I'm having problems installing google gadgets on 9.10, I cant find any .debs for it, nothing conclusive is on google, and on the software center it's telling me that it's not available in current data. I checked the software sources, and I have multiverse and universe checked, but nothing... any ideas? [08:28] thats annoying [08:28] 8.04 upgrade to Lucid failed everytime [08:28] Kane_Hart: pretty much, yes. You'd want to put "#!/bin/bash" at the start and run "chmod +x scripthere.sh" if you want to run it directly. [08:28] ManDay: Hey, that's a good thing. It means you don't have to install it =).

We can't help you if you don't do either. [08:29] <`boz> i get the response command not found [08:29] Appl6, where do you suggest I should put all that stuff? [08:29] `boz: sudo /usr/...

[08:29] ManDay: I put mine in ~/sage and put a symlink in /usr/local/bin. [08:29] `boz: Use tabs to complete path + filename [08:29] !tab | `boz [08:29] `boz: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[08:30] btw whose bright idea was it to move the close, enlarge, and minimize icons to the left side of program windows === SirMoo_ is now known as SirMoo [08:30] instead of on the right where they've been on every O.S. for the last 20 years [08:30] Taev: Mark Shuttleworth's [08:30] !controls | Taev [08:30] Taev: 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 [08:30] <`boz> done the space ... no difference [08:30] w all [08:30] Appl6, because in my ~there are movies, music, documents and (self written) programs - no huge program packages!

[08:30] "well hell lets just move this for no reason, even though everyone in the world is used to finding them on the right" [08:30] something like that? [08:31] I'd rather rcp merge the stuff from the package in my /usr but then i wouldnt know how to get it out of there [08:31] If the ubunt cd isn't booting, and all I see as the laptop starts is an image of a computer chip being equated to a guy inscribed in a circle.... [08:31] Would that be a problem with a trusted computing module or something? [08:31] Flyzoola, google-gadgets-gtk? [08:31] ManDay: You could put it under Documents. Or you could put it under ~/Programs or ~/Math or whatever. I might try the ~/Math some time and move stuff under it. [08:31] so whats the difference between Ubuntu Software Center, and Synaptic Package Manager? [08:31] !info google-gadgets-gtk [08:31] google-gadgets-gtk (source: google-gadgets): GTK+ Version of Google Gadgets. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.11.2-1ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 150 kB, installed size 508 kB [08:31] Taev: I believe the rationale was "we want to put stuff on the right-hand side, so we needed to free up the space". [08:31] from what I gather they both seem to do the exact same thing [08:31] they just look different. [08:31] Anyone know? [08:31] Taev: Software Center is designed for non-technical users. Synaptic is not. [08:31] Taev: You should learn to recognize that linux are different and recognize that not everything are same with other OSes. Acknowledge that. :) [08:32] <`boz> the tab key will not auto complete the doc folder [08:32] ah [08:32] Flyzoola, same in Karmic [08:32] Taev: Synaptic lists more things, Software Center lists general applications so its easier for non technical users [08:32] Appl6, right, i dont like it but ill deal with it, thanks [08:32] but they don't have any plans of dumping Synaptic do they?

Regular packages have to install somewhere, and if you prefer that "somewhere", just put it there. [08:32] wow Tuxracer and Billiards actually works [08:33] <`boz> still same respobse "command not found" [08:33] Appl6, I prefer packages to install in /usr/bin [08:33] not in ~ [08:33] bazhang yes, google-gadgets-gtk. I already I have universe turned on and nothing. I also tried to install from terminal and it tells me the package can't be found [08:33] ManDay: OK, then move it to /usr/bin. [08:33] ManDay: consider /usr/local/bin [08:33] ManDay: files not managed by the package management system should be in /opt or /usr/local/bin [08:33] Hello people, I just installed 10.04 ubuntu on my old laptop, I'm getting: "Error: couldn't read file." and "Error: you ned to load the kernel first."

[08:35] ManDay: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALHIERARCHY [08:35] Would that be a problem with a trusted computing module or something? [08:35] ah, sorry missed rww's comment [08:35] Flyzoola, sudo apt-get update , followed by sudo apt-get upgrade [08:35] ManDay: second, reminds you of the progs you manually installed, as /usr/local/bin is otherwise empty. [08:35] /opt is probably a better choice, to be honest [08:35] ok good idea, ill create a sage directory there and put all the stuff in - thanks! [08:36] bazhang, thanks. when this is done I'll report back :D [08:36] why is opt better? [08:36] /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin /opt /bin/ /sbin i hate it [08:37] ManDay: /usr/local/bin is for binaries. If you have a whole lump of stuff, just throw it all in a directory in /opt [08:37] have a box that hangs after: check battery state OK [08:37] any idea how to fix this? [08:37] rww, point taken [08:37] Flyzoola, when that is finished, then sudo apt-get install google-gadgets-gtk (assuming you are on gnome) [08:37] Hi people, Im encountering a problem with the booting of ubuntu on my old laptop, getting "you need to load the kernel first." please i need help, thanks [08:37] Hey all. I'm having major problems after doing an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. I was getting all sorts of weird things happening and now I get a blank screen when I start my machine up. I really could do with some help. [08:37] vipwoody: what version of ubuntu? [08:38] Jordan_U: 10.04 [08:38] kazadagu, tried starting in recovery mode yet? [08:38] kazadagu: does you screen say anything? [08:38] bazhang: I don't get an option to go into recovery mode [08:39] kazadagu, this is 10.04? [08:39] gpled: black screen nothing shown [08:39] bazhang: yep [08:39] kazadagu: Hold shift [08:39] kazadagu, tried holding shift at boot to reach it? [08:39] kazadagu: if you hit ctrl + alt + f1 do you get anything? [08:39] bazhang: when you say "at boot" when do mean? [08:39] gpled: No, he won't with that error. [08:40] kazadagu, when you start up the computer [08:40] heloow every body ol [08:40] all about ask to ubuntu?? [08:40] makdin, yes [08:40] makdin, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [08:40] ohh yes [08:40] Jordan_U: can you help? what do you think is the problem? getting: "Error: You need to load the kernel first." [08:40] kazadagu: Start holding shift right after you power on, and untill you see the grub menu. [08:41] in here server [08:41] bazhang: nothing when I hold down shift and nothing with ctrl+alt+f1... I don't even see the grub menu [08:41] any ideas on getting passed: check battery state OK ? [08:41] hellow bazhang [08:42] kazadagu, have you ever successfully booted? [08:42] where u country ol [08:42] bazhang: more info: I have a macbookpro dual booting with refit. I choose ubuntu and then the screen goes blank [08:42] bazhang: yes [08:42] makdin, chat is NOT here [08:42] then [08:42] where chatting [08:42] makdin, /join #ubuntu-offtopic [08:42] does anyone know if the proprietary ati driver that Ubuntu has, if it's just the plain vanilla flgrx driver or if Ubuntu patches it? [08:43] Anyone familiar with the "Error: You need to load the kernel first." error when booting Ubuntu? [08:43] I mean fglrx.... [08:43] bazhang: I used it several times but it started strobing weird colors at me one time. Then it did this blank screen thing. Then I left it over night and it worked again in the morning. Now it's not even letting me boot into mac os. [08:45] I just installed 10.04.... [08:45] OH MY GOSH! [08:46] I am truely amazed... [08:46] lol [08:46] xD [08:46] um how do I fix a broken cashe? [08:46] Anyone know of a good mono/flat/no gloss/no gradient Gnome icon theme? [08:46] A vast improvement on 9.10 [08:46] anyone want to inststall my broadcom driver while I eat my fried chicken [08:47] lol :) jk jk [08:47] No but I will take some of d chicken though. [08:47] Pyrrha: nice, I just got 10.04 too [08:47] My first thought was... Sexy. [08:47] does anyone know if the proprietary ati driver that Ubuntu has, if it's just the plain vanilla fglrx driver or if Ubuntu patches it? [08:47] vipwoody: Can you pastebin your grub.cfg and the output of "ls /boot" ? [08:47] Pyrrha: would you prefer zip or tar.gz [08:47] Oooh that's a tough one.... [08:47] lol [08:48] Jordan_U: I am very sorry, but how can I do that? I'm new to all that Linux thing :) [08:48] Pyrrha, do you have a support question? [08:48] Xgates: if you install driconf you can use more options for your card [08:48] tar.gz is looking nicer and nicer these days. [08:48] No, I just wanted so show some appreciation for the masterful work of geniusness... That has been created. [08:49] Pyrrha, please chat in #ubuntu-offtopic === Kenzo is now known as Peppermint [08:49] I'm literally smiling whilst looking at the screen... [08:49] Oh my bad... [08:49] bazhang: Another time I was put into a low resolution mode. I've also been getting this error everytime I try to change the keyboard settings that has something to do with xkb. I can't find the bug now but it was in launchpad. I just ran an update and got some linux kernel header or something. After rebooting the blank screen appeared [08:49] Xgates: As far as I can see, Ubuntu's patches to it are limited to stuff that makes it work with Ubuntu. I don't see any additional features or whatnot. [08:49] New to IRC... So away I shall go. & thanks for not banishing me... [08:50] What is the default MTA for Ubuntu 10.04? exim4? [08:50] bricky: all I want to know is if Ubuntu does anything to the fglrx driver or to the kernel for ATI support when you use the ATI proprietary because if I use Lucid and run the ATI driver, watching movies in VLC is great, but if I use a distro like Slackware and install the ATI driver and watch a video, same driver now, I have screen tearing [08:50] so I'm trying to figure out what's going on here.. [08:50] Jordan_U: I am running MAC on my other laptop here, the laptop with the problem booting Ubuntu 10.04 is beside me, how can I pastebin then? [08:51] red2kic: There isn't one installed by default. If you install the Mailserver task in tasksel, you get postfix [08:51] Xgates: I find different installs sometime have different outcomes reguardless, I cant help you out if you find out let me know :D [08:51] k [08:51] bazhang: do have any suggestions? [08:51] kazadagu, just checking launchpad [08:52] Jordan_U: Can I chat with you in private or is that not permitted here? [08:52] rww: well I'm just trying to figure out why I have better video in Ubuntu over Slackware running the Ati drivers, I would think the quality is the same, using the same driver, UNLESS Ubuntu is patching something, or adding something in for video support that improves it [08:52] vipwoody: Can you boot an Ubuntu LiveCD / use super grub disk to boot your Ubuntu install and just pastebin from the machine in question? [08:52] where do you find the equivalent to .cfg files in ubuntu and what are they called? [08:52] rww: Do you happen to know how I can set up postfix to use Gmail (IMAP)? [08:52] vipwoody: You may. === Peppermint is now known as Peppermint_AWAY [08:52] * Peppermint_AWAY is away: Al momento nn ci sono [08:52] red2kic: postfix has nothing to do with IMAP [08:52] Xgates: see the changelog at packages.ubuntu.com [08:52] !away > Peppermint_AWAY [08:52] Peppermint_AWAY, please see my private message [08:53] Hmmm okay now I have a support Q... [08:53] Hi there..m having problem after upgrading to ubuntu 10, with my sound card. [08:53] rww: Well, at least I want my machine to be able to send out using my Gmail account. [08:53] from mic i am not getting any sound [08:53] Before updates the boot screen was small... Now it's not... How to revert back? [08:53] Jordan_U: What is the key that I should press for choosing to boot the liveCD on MAC? [08:53] prince_jammys: where would I find it for fglrx? This is all I've found so far, http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/fglrx [08:54] vipwoody: 'c' or option [08:54] Pyrrha, need to fix the resolution? try booting in recovery mode and fixing your drivers [08:54] red2kic: I haven't done this, but I assume you'd choose the Smarthost option in postfix's configuration (it prompts you for configuration during installation) [08:54] Jordan_U: alright thanks! I will boot now and get back to you === ninfomane is now known as darknaruto25 [08:54] Hi all ! [08:54] Bazhang That is a dpkg-reconfigure command? [08:54] rww: I'll try. [08:55] I encounter an issue with Evolution... My Google's contacts seem to not synchronized. [08:55] Pyrrha, hold shift at boot to get into grub menu, then choose recovery mode [08:55] I have a broken cache how do I fix that? [08:55] Ok. [08:55] why cos3x - cos5x = -2sin4x * sin(-x) <-- this equation is correct? [08:55] I set up 1 minute between synchronization into properties [08:55] where do you find the equivalent to .cfg files in ubuntu and what are they called? [08:55] Xgates: see the 'changelog' link. [08:55] hello..i am not getting any sound from my mic after upgrading to ubuntu 10 [08:55] but it still missing contacts === Ar9 is now known as razerblader [08:56] Bazhang Thank you. [08:56] Is there a way to manually refresh Google contacts ? [08:56] Xgates: i think the answer to your question is "yes" [08:56] hello, where can I know, that ubuntu or debian is better for server ?

[08:59] bazhang: hmm? it only shows what 's not in there i think [08:59] alabd: that would have to be set up by your provider [08:59] Xgates: They need to be ready to kick people from the channel for pasting too many lines of output, because it produces too much channel spam. [08:59] hehe [09:00] bazhang: it shows 1 item and its my sofware modem, is that weird or what [09:00] Appl6: I know what bots are, I'm not an IRC noob, LOL, just wondering why they are going so crazy... ;p [09:00] kazadagu, that looks to be the issue as you describe it then [09:00] Xgates: well, they're floodbots, so they're flooding. [09:00] yeah the bots are flooding the chan with more crap then anyone else [09:00] greezmunkey: hose 2 adsl account can be connected separately now , how to sum ? [09:00] bricky, what does lspci show as the video card, wifi etc (paste.ubuntu.com Please) [09:01] also my lpci does not show my broadcom adapter [09:01] bricky, is this a dual boot [09:01] bazhang: nothing [09:01] well I don't see any patching to the ATI drivers that does anything to improve video performance over the vanilla ati driver [09:01] is this the best compression method or is there better like I want to compress as good as possible tar cfzv mybins.tar.gz [09:01] bazhang: on my dual boot it showed up but not now its just linux [09:01] alabd: you can't...you can't "combine" them in any useful way without the cooperation of you provider. [09:02] my lspci detects everything but my wifi adapter ive tried 10 different ways to install it [09:02] Kane_Hart: bzip2 generally compresses better than gzip, but it takes longer. xz is usually better than both, but it takes even longer (and it's not as common as gzip or bzip2). [09:02] bazhang: can you tell me what it means? I don't understand the info on that page. Also the bug I looked at before was said to be resolved. I'm not sure if I gave you the same link I was looking at before but that one is not resolved. [09:02] thats why I would like to know how many drivers I have so I can uninstall them all 100% [09:03] (for my wireless only) [09:03] greezmunkey: what do you mean , is there any software way ? [09:03] I'm compressing big file usally about 1gig and send to my server so I don't really mind since my upload is slow :P [09:04] hi everyone [09:04] alabd: no [09:04] anyone there [09:05] Kane_Hart: Right, then "man xz" and look for the -0 ... -9 section. [09:05] yeah how can I sort my drivers by category ? [09:05] Kane_Hart: However, it can use pretty obscene amounts of memory, so you may not want maximum compression if the compression takes longer than the upload. [09:05] ShapeShifter499: when do you get that error? [09:05] guys, i have a quick question. Checking out Ubuntu - from a primary Mac usage. Is there a way to setup an expose kinda way to switch workspaces? [09:05] kazadagu, the link you gave me has the bug as new and unassigned [09:06] thune3: trying to install printer drivers [09:08] <`boz> hi all still getting a "command not found" msg when trying to install packages to enable dvd playing [09:08] ShapeShifter499: i can't speak to the saftey of the operation but this guy used a dpkg command to install the drivers: http://www.codigomanso.com/en/2009/06/instalar-impresora-canon-pixma-ip2600-en-ubuntu-904-64-bits/ [09:09] bazhang: yeah I think the one I looked at before was different. I mean it was the same bug but a different bug report and that one was resolved. [09:09] <`boz> cut and pasted from web pages [09:09] `boz, installed libdvdcss2 from medibuntu? [09:09] kazadagu, yeah, would seem that way, not found it yet [09:09] `boz: can you copy-paste the sudo ... install-css.sh command here, please?

[09:14] ShapeShifter499: you are trying to install the "common" driver first? [09:15] bazhang: well I had the problem and that's why I checked for software updates. The only one in the list was something to do with a linux kernel header or something. After installing that update I started getting the blank screen [09:15] thune3: yes [09:15] thune3: I tried without forcing and it said it needed libcupsys2 [09:15] * bleah afk [09:16] thune3: so when I ran "sudo apt-get install libcupsys2" it said "note selecting libcup2" [09:17] I just tried running a dist-upgrade on my laptop and it replied I was uptodate but I'm using 9.10, what gives?? [09:17] My java applet is just a black box in firefox! :( [09:17] thune3: but it after that it said libcup2 was up-to-date [09:17] Hello, I'm trying to set up postfix to use my Gmail account. Now, I'm attempting to test it. I'm stuck at Subject: Whatever You Desire. How do I go to body section or next part?

[09:27] So that program SAGE comes as a binary, explicitly said to be for Ubuntu 10.4 and it works. But I had to dump the whole piece with all its stuff in one directory in /opt - there was no installer whatsoever. Yet the directory structure of that thing "looks like" its meant to be somewhat incorporated in the system - there are manpages, everything - what's the idea behind that? [09:28] you could read the release notes, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , or ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots [09:28] red2kic: ? It sounded like you wanted to get past the Subject part of an email in a telnet session to an SMTP server. [09:28] Appl6: Pressing Enter does not do anything. It just scroll down.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? [09:37] thune3: I think the same problem that I had on my windows is now happening in ubuntu, just its not telling me that...... the prob I had when it was connected to windows is that it kept demanding that a color cartridge be connected(empty or not) but I don't have an color cartridge....I ONLY have a b/w cartridge D= [09:38] kazadagu: in k3b, are you using the "Burn Image" option? [09:39] hi, anybody know how I can reset the evolution indicator in the panel to show 'set up mail' again?

I just downloaded and installed the Flash 10.1 update. Does anyone know if this update fixes the issues for fullscreen video that are present in Ubuntu? [09:39] DefaultTo0, it was a security fix afaik [09:39] thune3: on windows it didn't help, and on ubuntu the "type" of printer is stuck on RBG [09:39] DefaultTo0: probably not [09:40] when I move a window, it looses focus sometimes - even when I get the left MouseKey pressed.

[09:40] bazhang: I know that there was an important security fix contained in it, but by increasing the version number to 10.1 I would have thought that they would try and introduce some new minor features. [09:40] bestbot was only helpful for apps in repository [09:40] just fyi [09:40] Any suggestions / thoughts? This system has no optical drive.

[11:23] ever mind about the question about grub - but for future reference the command is sudo grub-probe -t device /boot/grub [11:24] is there a ubuntu equivalent to chkdisk? [11:24] i'm on a completely blank laptop, booted from ubuntu live cd [11:24] can anyone guess why grub sees windows 7 but not windows xp? [11:25] grub is installed on extended partition [11:25] ok when trying to install java jdk the dependencies resolve down to unixodbc and when I try to install this I get "Package unixodbc has no installation candidate", any ideas? [11:26] hello [11:26] ubuntu_: fsck is the chkdsk equivalent. [11:26] hi all [11:26] is there someone who has experience connecting to samsung printer installed on windows os machine [11:26] ubuntu_: you can not chdisk or fsck (linux equivalen) a blank disk both commands work at the filesystem level so the diesk must be formated [11:28] !fsck [11:28] 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 [11:28] !format [11:28] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [11:28] i dont plan to be annoying but can someone guide me on how to connect to printers installed on windows machine [11:29] hi [11:29] I get ubuntu is running in low graphics mode on startup. I have 10.04 with nvidia geforce gt 220m on a laptop. [11:29] I'm an Ubuntu novice. I want to route ALL ubuntu traffic through the Tor proxy at the OS (not app/browser) level. The Incognito secure operating system project does this via. firewall - http://git.immerda.ch/?p=amnesia.git;a=blob;f=config/chroot_local-includes/etc/firewall.conf . Does Ubuntu have a "firewall.conf" file too, and if I copied the contents of that link into it, would it work the same? [11:29] the problem occurs on random [11:29] thanks ubottu, nUboon2Age [11:29] sometimes i get the problem on startup, sometimes i dont. [11:29] ubuntu_: yw [11:30] i need help with automounting an Iomega network harddrive, each time i start the computer i have to type mount -a to log in and then i get prompted to type my password for each partition. how can i avoid that? [11:31] i have a dev/sda and a /dev/sdb [11:31] seems to find them [11:32] but in gparted i can't treat them as a single hd [11:32] ubuntu_: becouse they are not [11:32] <_Narc_> Hello guys. I'm setting up a network between two Lucid boxes, and I'm wondering if a transfer speed of 9.9 Mb/s is normal or can be considered slow... Using smb. Thanks. [11:32] so i need to get raid set up properly? [11:33] no [11:33] hi all, i am looking for color picker for ubuntu. i want to pick color from webpage, but colorzilla does not work on my ubuntu 10.04, so i am looking for generic color picker. i tried gcolor2, but it shows the color after clicking - i need to see color instantly while moving a mouse. is there any nice tool? [11:33] _Narc_: 10 MiB for a 100 Mbit/s network seems ok [11:33] peterp: colorzilla should work [11:33] ubuntu_: what type of raid? [11:33] _Narc_: gigabit? too slow, fast-ethernet, ok. smb causes some overhead [11:34] serial ATA RAID? not sure erusul [11:34] <_Narc_> erUSUL: Ok then, it will take ages to backup my data :) Thanks. [11:35] ubuntu_: one you configure in your bios ? comes as a feature of the motheboard? or is a true (and expensive) hardware raid card [11:35] <_Narc_> llutz : I figured smb would be better than SSH because of the encryption.... [11:35] windows installed after ubuntu - how to restore grub? [11:35] <_Narc_> Or absence thereof [11:35] gothenburg: it should, but it does not. i followed http://www.colorzilla.com/firefox/, but no luck - package libstdc++5 and libxul-dev is not available [11:35] !grub2 | raven [11:36] raven: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [11:36] _Narc_: nfs, netcat, lots of possibilities. but none will make fast-ethernet a ferrari :) [11:36] binaryme, update-grub "cannot find a device for /" [11:37] erusul, how would i find out? [11:37] ubuntu_: if you configured the raid you should know where you did it? [11:37] raven: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [11:37] <_Narc_> llutz: I'm Gigabit.... [11:37] lol erusul, i think i havent configured the raid yet [11:37] _Narc_: then 10Mbit is far too slow [11:37] that's probably where i'm going wrong lol. [11:37] ubuntu_: and if your machine has an expensive raid add on card you should know too ? [11:38] i need help with automounting an Iomega network harddrive, each time i start the computer i have to type mount -a to log in and then i get prompted to type my password for each partition. how can i avoid that? [11:38] <_Narc_> llutz: That's what I thought. Any idea why ? Closed ports on firewall maybe ? Shitty router ? [11:38] hi quick samba question, i set security to share and just added couple of share folders. but from another ubuntu machine it prompts for a password. what have i done wrong? [11:38] i'm going to read up on that i think erusul. [11:38] thanks for yr help, you might have pointed me in the right direction :) [11:38] ubuntu_: if you have plain pc hardware then probably is fake raid. if the machine is going to run linux only it is better to use linux software raid instead of bios fakeraid [11:38] _Narc_: check nic-settings on both ends using ethtool. router might be a problem, hard to check [11:38] !raid | ubuntu_ [11:38] ubuntu_: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [11:39] thanks erusul, ubottu, i'll have a look.

[11:50] Say i wanted to connect to ESSID "test" how would i do that with the iwconfig command ? [11:50] is it possible i could open network-manager GUI as root? [11:50] talking to me ? [11:50] i think that might be the problem why i can't apply the VPN connection details [11:50] nvm. [11:50] :p [11:51] Any ideas on what driver I need to use? [11:51] 什么？ [11:52] kk need help with a DVD-rom porblem [11:52] <_Narc_> Hello everyone. Any idea why my local network speed over smb is stuck to 10 MB/s using Gigabit ethernet ?

[12:04] and was runnin xp before [12:04] if it says quick boot turn it off it is says full boot turn it on [12:04] baskak: most probably ur graphics dont support the special effects (compiz) [12:04] Botanic, ubuntu on 256 ram isnt a good idea [12:04] How do I configure gnome-terminal to use a specific geometry?

Any idea why my local network speed over smb is stuck to 10 MB/s using Gigabit ethernet ? I'm on two Lucid boxes. Thanks. [12:10] jpds, yup it is [12:10] Brazzer, GNOME is a Desktop Environment providing you with a Graphical User Interface (Window-Manager) and some standard applications. [12:10] Does anyone know where is configured what command is run for a menu entry which is "Run in Terminal" ? [12:11] thankyou jpds [12:11] Let's say I want a menu-item (gnome) which is "run in terminal" to be run in XTERM not GNOME-terminal [12:11] Could I do that? [12:11] ManDay, bash -c "command" [12:11] _Narc_: checked with "ethtool" the two interfaces as llutz suggested ? also as mentioned if the router/switch/hub is 100 MiB that's the higher speed you will get [12:12] yo yo yo [12:12] i may be new but ain't all termal's the same' [12:12] goshawk, what? [12:12] wajiema, no not really. [12:12] kk [12:12] so anyone have any ideas why adding openVPN connections is grayed out in ubuntu? [12:12] has anyone here managed to sort objective C to work on lucid? [12:12] so KDE and Gnome is not the same [12:12] goshawk, it runs gnome-termn by default! [12:12] where can i get god shell accounts from? [12:12] good* [12:12] as in termalin;s [12:12] ManDay, after you do "run in terminal", do you see a terminal window ? [12:12] wajiema, GNOME-Terminal for example has a nice settings dialogue etc. Take a look at urxvt for a difference [12:12] nice to know [12:13] sure goshawk ?! do you know what you/me are talking about? [12:13] like i said not new but not a pro [12:13] <_Narc_> erUSUL: Yes. I'm reading the man page for ethtool because I don't get it yet :) I don't know about the router, it's a modem-router from my ISP, hard to get any specs... [12:13] ManDay, man gnome-terminal -e, --command=STRING [12:13] wajiema: they can do the same thing but use a different base (KDE uses Qt, Terminal uses GTK+) [12:13] i csn do simple things but writing code or programing [12:13] wajiema: stop spamming the channel with random remarks [12:13] ManDay, look at the -e option [12:13] sry' [12:13] stupid question: is anyone here under the age of 15?

[12:23] okay, kewl [12:23] i know they are volenteer [12:23] please help me out anyone [12:23] wajiema: if you boot to the live environment you can install grub as you wish [12:24] kk re posten question [12:24] wajiema: can't help w/ the piracy, but maybe the tech problems can get sorted out. :) [12:24] wajiema, what is the issue [12:24] is this still valid for 10.04 - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [12:24] mt issue is [12:24] i installed ubuntu with netbootin [12:24] wajiema, all on ONE line [12:24] especially wondering if "sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic" should know be something else [12:24] like a fool i put grub on my windows hf [12:24] hd [12:25] I'm trying to set up surround sound. When I play music I only get sound from rear left, rear right, and subwoofer. [12:25] but my ubuntu do9es not reconize my DVD-burner [12:25] <_Narc_> erUSUL: My bad. ethtool says "Speed: 100Mb/s"... lspci says "Gigabit ethernet", that's what got me confused. So I'm stuck with 10 Mb/s max with any protocol ? [12:25] wajiema: I've made that grub goof before too. :-( [12:25] hello all. Is anyone else having trouble mounting CD/DVD's with 10.04??? [12:25] wajiema: so Ubuntu doesn't recognise DVD disks when you insert a disk? [12:25] wajiema, its very hard to follow your issue as you use the enter key every couple of words. [12:26] hi could it be that the ubuntu keyserver cant be reached? [12:26] wajiema: you installe with unetbootin? You mean You insatlled and made a bootabel usb flash drive you then installed from? or did you use Unetbootins 'install live system to a hard drive' feature ? [12:26] may i have permisson to use more than one line to discribe my problem [12:26] sheldon: run: sudo lshw -C disk; cat /etc/fstab make sure you have an entry in /etc/fstab for each physical drive you have (they will have multiple names but you usually use /dev/scd0) [12:26] so no one gonna listen to me [12:26] i try to add this key but it loads endlessly http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0xE4DFEC907DEDA4B8A670E8042836CB0A8AC93F7A&op=index [12:26] _Narc_: try "sudo ethtool -s ethX speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off" [12:26] Spyzer: i never even saw you ask an actual question [12:26] I can mount once after a reboot, but not after that. And once the disk is mounted, I sporadically lose the mount and dmesg shows tons of I/O errors [12:27] No listening to me? [12:27] how to restart avan twindows navigator ??? [12:27] wajiema: I can usually get away with 2 lines at a time. No more. [12:27] Spyzer: close the program and relaunch it perhaps? [12:27] but how it doesn't have a clos icon, and has many processes named awn-applets [12:27] should i kill them all one by one [12:27] ? [12:28] wajiema: you can type massively long lines in IRC dude see how this line goes on and on and on and its all good, if you quit hammering the enter key it makes your question easier to ask as we dont have to piece together lots and lots and lots of different lines [12:28] I have 2 identical drives and they both worked fine before the upgrade to 10.04 [12:28] Spyzer: if it wont 'quit' properly - try the 'kill' or 'killall' commands to kill runaway processes === DanI is now known as Guest12637 [12:28] sheldon: check the output of the command I gave [12:28] Spyzer: you right click on the awn dock and it has a close menu itme somewhere [12:28] Spyzer: right click dock -> quit not work? [12:29] kk here it goes, i tried to install ubuntu, said can not detect cd-rom, so i used Unetbootins, installed ubuntu fine, messed up and installed bootloader (grub) in the wrong place, now can't get ubuntu to reconize DVD-rom to burn CD to get my windows fixed [12:29] Someone that heard about Linux? [12:29] hello [12:29] i have a question [12:29] _Narc_: probably the router is the bottleneck [12:29] that is my predicoment [12:29] windows or linux is better for secured system ? [12:30] finally got it thanks everyone :) [12:30] loopidity: you mean "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"? isn't it too risky? i'm completely fed up with fresh reinstalls of ubuntu/linux - did a dozen of it, or so - and i know some operations can erode the system completely [12:30] Actoin i was told to keep my questions to 1 line sry [12:30] !ot | daniftodi [12:30] daniftodi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[12:31] baskak on startup, have u tried using KDE ? if not once try installing it see [12:31] sheldon: well you will see the device names for the optical devices, in the fstab you should have a line for each optical device relating to one of the device names for each optical device [12:31] gothenburg: The center and front channels do not produce noise. [12:31] and wajiema did the research and folks were focused on changing bios settings, but his bios only supports on or off. ActionParsnip [12:31] so any suggestions [12:32] MindVirus: and have you used the mixer?

[12:33] wajiema: if you run: sudo lshw -C disk do you see the optical drives? [12:33] I do have entries from 'list hardware' but no entries in fstab... Background.... both drives were working properly before the upgrade, i tweaked for a while trying to get it to work. Failed. Did a clean install of 10.04...

[12:36] MindVirus: ok [12:36] oh ok [12:36] its just that, sound was working and now it aint [12:36] Giblet: if there was a kernel update yesterday, try booting a older kernel from the menus.

[12:38] hd direct [12:38] loopidity: yes, i did, and frankly i'm not interested. i also *think*, that compiz did work with gnome on my machine previously [12:38] Dr_Willis: I think he did the later [12:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/448670/plain/ [12:38] how to switch off in irssi ....this messege when people are coming on and off this channel ( saying ip whois etc)??

[12:42] wajiema: if you go to that first link you can just paste all the lines from dmesg into it. [12:42] sheldon: run: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab add these 2 lines: [12:42] sheldon: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [12:42] I was wondering if anyone could help me bless a linux partition on a macbook 4.1? [12:42] sheldon: /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [12:42] i commented them out before the fresh install and the problem was the same. I can still mount a disk for a little while. [12:42] wajiema: that way you won't violate the multi-line 'flooding' thing. [12:43] sheldon: save the new file then run: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0; sudo mkdir /media/cdrom1 [12:43] kk did [12:43] I believe you usually do it with a mac install cd, but i don't have one anymore so I'm kinda stuck. [12:43] wajiema: and then give the URL to where you pasted it [12:43] is anyone good with sound issues in linux [12:43] !mac [12:43] see i'm bran new top thid IRC thing just starting out [12:43] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [12:43] wajiema: me too [12:44] hmm, not useful [12:44] i have no hardware, that might be the issue [12:44] I will add the lines and give it a whirl... maybe something changed since the new install... [12:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/448676/ [12:44] Nope :( [12:44] like so righrt [12:44] how do i get red text [12:44] calamity: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [12:44] how can i ssh from ubuntu to a windows machine? [12:44] or can i not do it? [12:44] Brazzer: there is an openssh server you can install on windows [12:44] wajiema: you get red text in irc when someone puts your name into their line, like I just did w/ you. [12:45] join #uva [12:45] wajiema: but no one else sees it as red. only the person(s) named. [12:45] ActionParsnip: [12:45] Brazzer: http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/ [12:45] anyone here uses Terminator? is it possible to set the starting size of the terminator window? [12:45] ActionParsnip: thanks, but that doesn't seem to cover bless. [12:46] ActionParsnip: thanks [12:46] ActionParsnip: wajiema 's dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/448676/ [12:46] muyox: you can use the --geometry option [12:46] nUboon2Age: it's not his/her dmesg, its just the url of the pastebin :) [12:46] Anyone can answer why ubuntu themes are usually "dark" (especially the default themes) and with high contrast? Isn't those kind of themes not accessible*. [12:47] ActionParsnip, thank you! [12:47] wajiema: run this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; dmesg | pastebinit [12:47] muyox: http://www.tenshu.net/wp-content/uploads/terminator.html [12:47] muyox: never used it, but if it reads Xdefaults you can add "(whatever the correct reference to terminator is)*geometry: XxY" [12:47] ActionParsnip: oops. :) [12:47] is it gonna kill my cpu LOL [12:47] it causes fires [12:47] wajiema: not at all [12:48] wajiema: its a much lighter process than the OS you are running [12:48] Windows<3 [12:48] ActionParsnip: or at least the OTHER OS he's running. :-) [12:48] nUboon2Age: possibly ;) [12:49] hey i just installed ubuntu on my notebook and for some reason the camera isn't working.

[12:50] smone gave me commnad but i forgot [12:50] wajiema: one trick in many irc clients is if you just type the first few letters of a name and then hit tab the client will fill in the rest of the name. [12:50] ActionParsnip, i got it installed [12:50] sheldon: try a reboot, you can see how the lines must relate to one of the device names in the lshw output though right? [12:51] what IRC u usein [12:51] Has anyone had any success with efibootmgr? [12:51] wajiema: that way you don't have to keep typing the names in. (in case you didn't know). [12:51] wajiema: ok then run: dmesg | pastebinnit [12:51] can smone give me the commnad to correct gpg key error [12:51] yes. I will give it a try... the drives will mount once after the reboot... I will check back in a couple of minutes.... thanks for the help. [12:51] dartt: try updating, if youu got the key from aptitude [12:51] wajiema: I'm using Konversation. I like it because I can understand it. I couldn't figure out the others. They were either too simple or too complex. [12:52] dartt: can you update?, is it just one package that uses the key? [12:52] dartt: can you update?, is it just one package that uses the key?

[13:04] sorry that was weird had to restart my pc to get firefox goin [13:05] peternickson1: as robin0800 asked, its possible its not 'seeing' an adapter in Ubuntu, but check out the lspci output first.

For some reason, using the same volume settings on the app, speaker voume, and physical speakers, the sound in Lucid is much lower. Anyone know why this might be?

[13:07] anyone know how to open pulse audio [13:07] I thought he said it was? my bad then :) [13:07] the system apparently detects the sound device etc, but there is no sound [13:08] trhere is a speaker icon which I can use to raise the volume etc but no use, no sound is coming out [13:08] mines not working i did everything humanly possible its stupid since it worked from wubi [13:08] I'm having the same problem with the sound [13:08] can anyone help me with this? [13:08] strange, are we all having the same problem here? [13:09] if so, then most probably there isn't a solution to it yet? [13:09] Just tried lspci -v | less, and I get an ethernet controller and a network controller [13:09] Should wireless controler be there too [13:09] i think so, my audio device is being detected. tryed everything on google, but that does not help [13:09] salem: Giblet: well two are anyway. Just because the folks right here right now don't know the answer right away doesn't say that it hasn't been solved yet.

[13:52] dartt: there are some tools that can measure network speed without the the extra layer of ftp, sambe, nfs or something like that.. try those first.. if they are still slow you need to look at the hardware and drivers.. if that is fast then you know you need to look at the next layer.. ie samba, nfs, ftp or whatever you're using [13:52] is there any lightweight email client ? [13:52] lukas_: the first thing to do is reconsider.

Now I am trying to boot with Grub on MBR, it is not able start x-server i.e. GDM [14:57] MrElendig, where can i download the patches? [14:58] any ideas? [14:59] buppa_: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36328 has links to the patches for xorg-server 1.8 [14:59] I would be supriced if you couldn't find a patched xorg in ppa too [14:59] so look there first [15:00] anybody know how to replace the entire set of bootscripts? [15:00] hi - what is the right channel to ask about the nvidia driver in ubuntu? [15:00] MrElendig, im not that good with ubuntu, i dont know what ppa is or how to install stuff from ppa.

[15:01] thanks, ActionParsnip - but what do i seatch for patched xorg-server 1.8? [15:02] Any ideas why when I join a vpn (ultravpn) my local computers can no longer see this computer? (or a way to fix it) [15:02] buppa_: you want the x swat ppa then most likely [15:02] buppa_: check if there already is a patched xorg in ppa before you run off looking for the patches [15:03] buppa_: in the search type xorg [15:03] buppa_: just search for xorg and see what it turns up [15:03] stumped the best of 'em I guess [15:03] buppa_: then flick through the results til you find the version you want [15:05] anybody knows if there's a way to "convince" wubi to accept a ubuntu minimal iso instead of the desktop version? using --skipmd5check isn't enough... [15:05] How to get eclipse without gcj, I've already installed the sun java package? [15:06] hi [15:08] josmala_: edit your eclipse.ini and add the 'vm' argument [15:09] any recommendations for a better irc client than empathy? pidgin used to be good [15:09] skinofstars: xchat, quassel for gui.. irssi for terminal.. [15:09] skinofstars: totally depends on your needs. I dont use the IM clients out there that also do IRC. i use dedicated IRC clients [15:09] josmala_: or you can just run eclipse by passing -vm argument [15:09] skinofstars: but there are lots out there [15:10] yeah, i need i nice simple gui :) just things like rooms lists would be good [15:10] shall i share xorg log file of my live session, so that i can get help on changing xorg.conf in installation [15:11] and perhaps an ability to silence notifications of room arrival/exits [15:12] skinofstars: most irc clients can do that. [15:12] skinofstars: try xchat [15:12] ok, ta [15:12] MrElendig, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=xorg - wich one do i need?

[15:16] @Bear10: if you can't drag it back perhaps just add a new menu item via right click > edit menus [15:16] is it possible to get yourself removed from the logs on http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/? [15:16] Bear10: theres a little menu item that lets you select places, or other items for the sidebar [15:16] Bear10: no but the folders in the left panel are used to make the places folder up, if you add folders there it will appear in the places menu [15:17] ActionParsnip, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=xorg - wich one do i need?

It should just make a copy of the menu item on the desktop [15:18] buppa_: is it an old version or a newer version than you have [15:18] Bear10: ahhh then that is controlled via alacarte [15:18] Dr_willis, well it actually took it out [15:18] ActionParsnip, i dont know, how do i check wich xorg version i have?

[15:57] tks [15:57] craigbass1976: Manually creating the playlist is being a difficult job, because the entire path of the file is like /media///.

[16:21] I ask because the How-To over here is outdated https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [16:21] are you not given the choice during setup to create your partitinos ? [16:22] ToeKutter, You are, you have to choose manual. Then you can do whatever you want to the HDD> [16:22] siddhion, 8Gb for SWAP? Why? [16:22] ToeKutter: I have chosen to manually set up my paritions at Step 4 of the Installation\ [16:22] hello, how do I convert LaTeX to PDF ? [16:23] 8Gb of swap is really too much. The "double your ram" rule of thumb is becoming out dated. It really worked better in the area of ram between 128MB and 1Gb. Anything more than 2GB of swap is too much IMHO. [16:23] rafaelsoaresbr : because I have 4gb RAM and its suggested to do 1.5x your current set. [16:23] edbian: oh hey there : ) [16:24] siddhion, Hi [16:24] I agree on the 2X ram thing. 8G oodles to much [16:24] i did 3 Mb of swap when I did it [16:24] edbian: ahh ok. so you would suggest going 1.5 times what I have? [16:24] I can see 3 [16:24] siddhion, How much do you have? [16:24] edbian: 4gb [16:25] No. I would suggest 2GB of ram. === rafaelsoaresbr_ is now known as rafaelsoaresbr [16:25] Hello [16:25] edbian: are you sure? i am going 64bit with Lucid [16:25] I said that the 2x (or 1.5x) rule is really only good up to 1GB of ram. If your swap is bigger than 2GB regardless of your ram, you're never going to fill it. [16:25] I'm sure [16:25] edbian: cool [16:26] unless you need it for hibernation/suspend-to-disk [16:26] In fact if you have 4GB of ram that makes it even harder to fill a lot of swap. [16:26] you muct be very confiednt to go ahead an dual boot the machine. maybe you should ry vmbox and play with it there first [16:27] My swap is 1.5 GB and I've never felt it. [16:27] edbian: ok good to know. so i am the prepare partition screen right now. i am selected on the free space partition which is 100g [16:27] In fact, my computers been on for 2 days and 48 minutes and my swap is empty (1Gb ram) [16:27] i was wondering if anyone could help me get started in installing some python scripts on ubuntu server. it is for this: http://getmediacore.com/ [16:27] siddhion, I would sugest 256Mb for swaping :) [16:27] hey guys [16:28] edbian: which partition should i create first? [16:28] having trouble with poulsbo drivers [16:28] rafaelsoaresbr: wow :) [16:28] siddhion, Doesn't really matter. When your hit the install button though you should have a root and a swap at least. /home isn't a bad idea. [16:28] hi [16:28] I'm on kernel 2.6.31 [16:28] i need help with my ubuntu i am a noob [16:28] I am about to debootstrap Debian Lenny on my Ubuntu Karmic system. In what I've read online, to debootstrap old Ubuntu releases, I would need to download *their* deboostrap deb. Do I need to download a specific debootstrap deb for Lenny? [16:28] just tried recompiling the poulsbo kernel sources [16:29] and now my sound doesn't work [16:29] chateante, You came to the right place but you have to tell us what is wrong! :) [16:29] i want that my ubuntu ask me for a password for into my windows`s partition [16:29] and is there a package that has apache with php and mysql (maybe some phpmyadmin) all wrapped in one? [16:29] edbian: i do not see an install button here. so i assume you are talking about after the paritioning phase [16:29] I got an error saying "hda_intel azx_get_response timeout switching to single_cmd mode" [16:29] anyone ever seen this before? [16:29] hi everybody [16:29] siddhion, Yeah. When you stop answering questions and the system actually starts installing. I don't think there is a literal "install" button. [16:30] i'll repeat my doub [16:30] exit [16:30] i need to reactivate my password to join to my windows partitions [16:30] thanks! :P [16:31] chateante, you can change folder's permission, or you can remove the option "auto" from /etc/fstab [16:31] edbian: ok. so right now i have the free space partition selected and I press "ADD" and I am faced with the choice of Logical or Primary. Which one should I choose? === luis is now known as GordoFeoViejo [16:31] thankyou rafaelsoaresbr [16:31] siddhion, How many partitions do you already have / plan on ever having? Is this a dual boot? [16:32] http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download << why does this say that the 64 bit version is not recommended for day to day usage? [16:32] llutz, do you know of a package that has apache with php support and mysql in one, or are they seperate downloads [16:32] I am about to debootstrap Debian Lenny on my Ubuntu Karmic system. In what I've read online, to debootstrap old Ubuntu releases, I would need to download *their* deboostrap deb. Do I need to download a specific debootstrap deb for Lenny?

[16:33] nice [16:33] stack [16:33] edbian: yes this is a dual-boot. currently I have 2 partitions (1 windows recovery NTFS = 1.5G & 1 Vista NTFS = 200G) with 100G of free space [16:36] siddhion, Because the partition table of any hdd is a fixed size you can only have 4 primary partitions on any given hdd. To get around this you can create an extended partitions that go inside a primary partition. You can have as many extended partitions as you want. [16:37] siddhion, The easiest way to get this done is to tell the ubuntu installer to "use the largest continuous free space" and it will do all that magic for you and even ask if you want a separate /home. [16:37] i am in fstab [16:37] i cant found partitions of windows [16:37] 64bit Lucid: I've got the 10.1 32bit flash installed using ndiswrapper from a tutorial found in the forums but full-screen video looks very choppy with it. Any suggestions? Trying to stream world cup games smoothly :) [16:37] any hints? [16:37] siddhion, You can alternatively, create the partitions manually. So create a primary and then start creating logical partitions inside it (extended) for /, swap, and /home (if you want). Do you want a separate /home ? [16:38] siddhion, Does that all make sense? Any questions? === mohammed is now known as Guest16049 [16:38] blacksunseven: is your internet fast enoough to streap high quality video in the first place? You might want to check that first [16:38] aj00200: Yes, in Windows it looks perfect on the same computer. [16:39] umm... does fullscreen refer to flash player here? [16:39] amee2k: Yes, full-screen video w/ flash player. [16:40] you can pretty much forget about that getting to work [16:40] chateante, where is your windows's partition mounted? [16:40] idk [16:40] edbian: sorry for the delay. yes i would like a /home partition. so ultimately it will look like (15 gb for Ubuntu 10.04, 80gb for /home, 1.5gb for Linux-Swap) [16:40] flash player seems to be about half as efficient at decoding video in software, and i haven't found a way to get it to use special purpose hardware [16:40] how do i make apache use the public_html directory in peoples /home? [16:40] Well that's not quite the news I was hoping for =\ [16:41] and decoding high quality video can be an ass job on the CPU [16:41] hi, is there the correct channel for ubuntu's bind9? I've got no response in #ubuntu-server [16:41] siddhion, 15Gb is a lot for root. 10 is probably better. I have 7Gb / and it has been about 50% full for over a year now. [16:41] how do i install icecast? [16:41] I knew it was horribly inefficient in linux but figured quad-core would make up for it [16:41] edbian: ok 10 it is then :) [16:41] UUID=55c192f9-bc25-4062-ba6a-e59e3844bfca none swap sw $ [16:41] /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:41] How do install an app for all users at the same time?

[16:42] blacksunseven: maybe giving it a higer priority would help. I cant remember how to do it though [16:42] chateante, there should be one line like: "UUID=e24d635e-6f0b-4bb8-8728-877cc0f28220 /windows ntfs auto 0 1" [16:42] blacksunseven, try turning off compiz [16:42] roughly the config files dates from an old FreeBSD installation,were migrated to gentoo(bind 9 something), and now when I want to migrate them on ubuntu a lot of thing aren't recognized like listen-on etc... [16:42] siddhion, Sounds good to me. Have you ever installed Ubuntu before? [16:42] Daekdroom: I believe its off already [16:42] edbian: so now I am wondering if I should just let the installer do it automatically. i just need to make sure that I get those3 partitions made.

Linus him self uses distros like fedora and ubuntu because he thinks most others are "over technical" I think that if you understand the partitions completely it doesn't matter how you get it done. [16:44] i only have the lines of linux [16:44] linux partitions [16:44] ext4 y swap [16:44] 10Mbps 720p seems to work fine, mostly [16:45] what is my local ip ? [16:45] ext & ant [16:45] ext & swap [16:45] kapa_44, ip addr [16:45] kapa_44, It a term [16:45] edbian: I thought Linux uses openSUSE? [16:45] Linux [16:45] Linus [16:45] * [16:46] domedagen, ha ha. I do that too all the time. He might now. The point is moot. It's still a distro that aims at making things easier. My point was he doesn't use Slackware or Gentoo. [16:46] blacksunseven: quad core won't help much if the player doesn't use it. check your per-core load while playing back [16:47] chateante, so, your windows's partition isn't being mounted at system startup? [16:48] blacksunseven: haven't gotten that to use hardware acceleration either, but you could try getting vlc to work. not cinema quality, but that used to work fairly well. i know for a fact that mplayer with livdvpau does hardware accel [16:48] But seriously. [16:48] Yeah 1080p video isn't as smooth as it should be either, but that's not flash-related. [16:48] How do I install an ap pfor all users [16:49] I've been using mplayer for everything but how do I know if I'm using livdpau? [16:49] edbian: so ok. i will make a Primary partition. Then create 3 logical partitions with in that one. 1 10G ext4 partition, 1 95G ext4 partition & 1 1.5G Linux-Swap partition. Sound right? [16:50] siddhion, Yep [16:50] siddhion, That will work just fine. [16:50] blacksunseven: in gmplayer, check the settings window for "video output". it should offer it as an "vdpau" option there [16:50] gmplayer? guess I need to install that first [16:50] search the repo for that too... you need to install some additional packages for it to work [16:51] sorry, dunno how to check it in vanilla mplayer off the top of my head [16:51] ok I'll abandon [16:51] list [16:51] exit [16:52] and install proper video drives for your video card. works with the repo drivers and gforce 8 or later for me [16:52] edbian: great. i shall begin now :) [16:52] siddhion, Have fun! :) [16:52] i had smplayer installed so I went to Video>Output Driver> and found vdpau there [16:53] oh, i use that too on some systems [16:53] There an adv/disadv to either?

I installed alsa and alsa-utils, but no script ran following installation and i cannot configure anything [16:54] edbian: looks like i did not get far. should the location of the Primary partition be Begining or End? Also what format should I use? It says ext4 to begin with . And what will the Mount Point be? [16:54] so i'd say its a matter of personal preference [16:54] francaisssssssssss [16:54] svppppppppp [16:54] is it required to clean the metadata [16:54] jai une questionnnnnnn [16:54] :P [16:54] rush: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:55] simontol: I think it's gone [16:55] Slart: can you tell me why? [16:56] siddhion, I might have gotten it backwards. First off, the linux stuff should come after windows. Secondly, I just double checked and I appear to have an "extended" partition with logical ones inside it. Try that, my extended partition does not have a filesystem type. My logical ones inside it do. [16:56] Can someone help me with Alsa? [16:56] This is urgent.

[17:03] edbian: then I choose "Primary" as the partition type. [17:03] siddhion, What are the other choices? [17:03] edbian: 1st choice is for partition type. Primary and Logical only. [17:04] edbian: below that I have the choice of what size to make it. right now it is set at 100G [17:04] siddhion, You want logical. (extended) which will be the wrapper for your logical partitions so that you can have more than 4. [17:04] I need some help with a bash script, can anyone respond, please? [17:05] edbian: below that i have the choice for the location of the new partition: Beginning or End. It is set at Beginning right now. [17:05] siddhion, Don't mess with beginning / end. [17:06] edbian: ok. I choose Logical, leave 100G, leave Beginning as the choice. [17:06] exit [17:06] siddhion, Yep. Then you should be able to create primary partitions inside it.

I can actually see in the system logs that the mouse is detected. Any ideas? [17:07] edbian: so below those 3 sections I see "Use as:" and a drop down menu of format types. Now it is set to ext4 Journaling File System === Guest42059 is now known as sadidiot [17:07] droidmanic, That is exactly what is supposed to happen. [17:07] the mouse is not supposed to work? [17:07] droidmanic, Linux probes all the hardware and loads modules for the HW it finds. Everytime on boot. It's actually quite impressive. [17:08] droidmanic, How does a mouse "not work" if it isn't even plugged into the computer? [17:08] edbian: and the choice below that is"Mount Point:" with another drop down menu. [17:08] siddhion, If you switch it to primary does it still ask the fs type and mount point and such? [17:08] droidmanic: hmm.. I think I can plug an usb mouse in after booting and it will still work [17:08] I mean, after boot I plug it in and in the system logs I see mouse being detected, but does not work [17:08] siddhion, Hang on a second. I'm going to actually do this instead of trying to remember. [17:08] edbian: yes it does. [17:09] droidmanic, yes, it's supposed to work [17:09] edbian: you rock [17:09] droidmanic: although.. come to think of it.. I haven't tried in a while.. [17:09] I know, it was working in the old releases of ubuntu [17:09] are there any good themes with colored names in empathy? [17:09] siddhion, Than that's the answer. It was just terminology :) [17:09] it does not work with 10.04 [17:09] so then, primary = extended? [17:09] looking for someone to help with setting up apache on my comp? === william is now known as Guest37718 [17:09] !theme | markcl [17:09] please i need some help, i've removed in synaptic a lot of packages to free up space and now i've messed up my system, after the restart i can't use my keyboard or mouse properly, can't click the System menu, etc. but they work very good on the startup user login. is there any way i could restore the packages i've uninstalled or find out their names from the logs or anything ? now i'm in the xterm environment and everything works just fine (limited to one appl [17:09] ication at a time). please help me, i'm desperate :( [17:09] markcl: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [17:10] droidmanic: any errors in syslog or kern.log when you connect the mouse? [17:10] can anyone spare a couple of minutes on bash - have a problem with variables in the while..done loop [17:10] sadidiot: you could install ubuntu-desktop , that should get you back [17:10] nope, syslog says this "new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4" [17:10] Slart, but the desktop works [17:10] cloversg: #bash will be more helpful as its more specific to your issue [17:10] it wasn't removed [17:10] and then this "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" [17:11] thanks ActionParnsnip [17:11] sadidiot, (fun name btw) Do you know how to boot into ubuntu recovery mode and drop to a root shell? I suggest you do that and then attempt to install "ubuntu-desktop" which I think will fix everything. (Not 100% sure though) [17:11] sadidiot: ok, I might have misunderstood you then [17:11] yes, the desktop loads fine [17:11] edbian: what is the answer?\ [17:11] i've logged in in xterm because the mouse and keyboard work fine [17:11] but they don't work good in gnome [17:12] because of the uninstalled packages i guess [17:12] maybe the configuration is not right the system is selecting? [17:12] please tell me there are some logs for synaptic [17:12] please [17:12] siddhion, You said that if you switch the partition type to ________ (blank) then the options for filesystem type and such go grey. Fill in the blank please :) === jh is now known as Guest28706 [17:12] sadidiot, There are [17:12] where [17:13] sadidiot, file -> history [17:13] file ? [17:13] I read something about legacy usb support in bios, and I disabled that, but that doesn't help either [17:13] in synaptic ? [17:13] sadidiot: sounds like you've messed up your gnome settings.... try renaming the gnome folders in your home folder (they will be recreated with default settings [17:13] sadidiot, in synaptic. Yes [17:13] edbian: no matter which partition type i choose(Primary or Logical) the file system part remains active [17:13] thank you guys === jh_ is now known as Guest93913 [17:13] siddhion, Ahh, ok hang on. I'm waiting for my partitioner. [17:13] siddhion, I have to be sure. [17:13] i'll try everything, and will be back if i don't get this right [17:14] edbian: cool [17:14] !faq disappear [17:15] hello world [17:15] siddhion, Ahh!! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ExtendedPartition An extended partition is filled with Logical partitions. Do you have the option to create an extended partition? [17:15] gops, hi [17:15] gops, Maybe I shouldn't speak for the entire world. [17:15] hi edbian === markcl is now known as world [17:15] ok [17:15] hi gops! [17:15] edbian: I only have the option to create Primary and/or Logical partitions === world is now known as markcl [17:16] hello every one [17:16] I'm trying to connect my handheld emulator to my computer and I get this http://imgur.com/gdskP.png [17:16] gops hey there [17:16] siddhion, Back up through the installer until you're outside the partitioner. Then start up the partition editor proper. System -> admin -> partition editor (it might be called gparted) [17:16] It has worked before, now it doesn't [17:17] edbian: aye aye captain [17:17] edbian: do you want me to fully exit the installer? [17:18] siddhion, No, you don't have to. Just back up so you're not in the installer. [17:18] siddhion, typo [17:18] The blacklist.conf in in modprobe.d/ has a line for usbmouse? Could this be preventing my usb mouse to work? [17:18] siddhion, Just back up so you're not in the partitioner [17:18] Lucid didn't autodetect the correct screen resolution, and I can't find /etc/X11/xorg.conf. What should I do to correct it? [17:18] edbian: ok i will quit the installer then. [17:18] siddhion, You don't have to. [17:19] edbian: but you just said to back up so im not in the installer [17:19] hy all, I need help on a loop login in Lucid 10.04 original. Kindly someone can help me? [17:19] edbian: currently i am at Step 4 [17:19] Hello [17:19] aendruk: fresh installation? [17:20] yes [17:20] soadkombucha hi [17:20] siddhion, Read everything I wrote. That was a typo. All you have to do is back up so you're not in the partitioner. Partitioner != Installer. Partitioner is just part of the installer. [17:20] siddhion: How good are you with ubuntu? I'm having a really weird linux problem [17:20] droidmanic, im probably not the most qualified to answer you question but you could backup the file, remove the entry and see what happens. If not, restore it. [17:21] yeah that is what I am thinking [17:21] siddhion: And it's not just ubuntu... It's all Linux builds. The kernel fails to initialize on my processor... But I can't figure out why [17:21] aendruk: Do an update, make sure everything is the newest. install 'hardware drivers' if given the choice [17:21] soadkombucha: not good, edbian good though [17:21] aendruk: then reboot [17:21] droidmanic, its possible its related however it could just be using a different driver or whatever that conflicts with usbmouse so it has blacklisted it [17:21] Lo everyone. [17:21] hy all, I need help on a loop login in Lucid 10.04 original. Kindly someone can help me now? [17:21] siddhion, Thanks :P [17:21] I'm having a problem with accessing a VNC server on Kubuntu. [17:22] soadkombucha, What's your architecture? [17:22] Yeah, it says HID drivers are preferred,, but may be they do not work I am not sure [17:22] binaryme: ok, thanks. it's grabbing updates right now. [17:22] the_madman, whats the issue? Not connecting? [17:22] hy all, I need help on a loop login in Lucid 10.04 original. Kindly someone can help me? [17:22] mattgyver: In a nutshell. [17:23] mattgyver: The server is broadcasting itself on the network, and KRDC shows it in the list of broadcasting servers... [17:23] edbian: AMD Athlon II m320 with the Radeon 4100 x64 [17:23] edbian: cool :P so I just fired up Gparted [17:23] siddhion, So, how about that partitioner proper [17:23] does anyone know how to get rid off this: "GLIB WARNING ** GLib - getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id" ? [17:23] mattgyver: But double-clicking it results in, "Server not found" errors without fail. === nils_ is now known as NilsBo [17:23] at boot [17:23] siddhion, O good. Now create an extended partition with that. [17:23] the_madman, have you setup port forwarding in your router? [17:24] hy all, I need help on a loop login in Lucid 10.04 original. Kindly someone can help me? [17:24] mattgyver: I don't think so. I'll have a look. [17:24] siddhion, In fact, we can do all the partitioning right here and then just tell the installer what to use each partition for. [17:24] soadkombucha, Is it amd64 of i686 ? [17:24] edbian: AMD64 [17:24] the_madman, vnc is a pretty tricky thing sometimes when there are problems but it sounds like you need to setup the forwards, otherwise your machine has no idea where its actually connecting [17:24] edbian: I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise x64 [17:24] edbian: should I unclick "round to cylinders" ? oh ok! cool! [17:24] mattgyver: Aah. That would explain. [17:24] soadkombucha, Are you running a 64 bit kernel (although I admit this really should not matter. ix86 should run on 64bit hw) [17:25] <_pg_> can anyone advise how to burn MTS files to a DVD? [17:25] the_madman, in essence you have to connect to IP:PORT you cannot hit the ip directly as it wont know where the service is running [17:25] edbian: I tried 64bit and 32bit kernels [17:25] siddhion, Uh, no, leave the cylinders. [17:25] mattgyver: See, I've tried connecting with the I.P address and that works. [17:25] soadkombucha, Really. What in more detail, is happening? Can you boot a live CD? [17:25] mattgyver: Oh, no, that's a different problem then. [17:25] edbian: And I've tried Ubuntu 8.04,9.1, and 10.04. And Fedora 13. And Slax. [17:25] edbian: I can't even boot a live CD [17:25] mattgyver: See, if I type in the I.P on it's own it works. [17:25] soadkombucha, What errors do you get? [17:25] edbian: And I've tried kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu [17:25] hello [17:25] the_madman, the local ip or external ip? [17:25] siddhion, Having any problems. [17:25] It's an ACPI init error [17:26] mattgyver: the local IP. [17:26] edbian: ok. also, should I mess with the sizes? should I give it a label? [17:26] But I can't even get to the option to turn ACPI off [17:26] soadkombucha, Well you certainly are thorough now aren't you? [17:26] And you have problems connecting to the domain or external ip correct? [17:26] * cousin_mario just lost the bootmanager due to another distro having been installed: how do you restore it from the livecd? [17:26] edbian: I try to be. [17:26] siddhion, Label == optional. What do you mean sizes? Make the partitions the size and place you want them? [17:26] mattgyver: But double-clicking the list entry, as well as typing in the host name (e.g. "desktop.local") doesn't work. [17:26] edbian: I did as much research as I could, and tried another distro to see if it was just ubuntu. [17:26] <_pg_> can anyone advise how to burn MTS files to a DVD? [17:26] edbian: the reason I asked about unchecking the round to cylindars is because i thought it might mess things up [17:27] soadkombucha, I suspect you have bad hardware somewhere. Try switching out the ram or the HDD. [17:27] How do I remove a file, just 1 [17:27] edbian: The computer is brand new [17:27] edbian: I got it 2 weeks ago [17:27] edbian: I ran chkdsk [17:27] siddhion, I would just leave it at the default. To be perfectly honest I don't know exactly what that would do. [17:27] <_pg_> Zela: send it to trash? [17:27] edbian: None of the sectors on the hard drive are bad [17:27] edbian: And RAM Check didn't turn up any bad sectors [17:27] I dont really know outside of that then, but for kicks I would setup a forward in the router to at least rule that out completely. Then you at least know its something at the service level [17:27] soadkombucha, wow, windows runs fine? [17:27] _pg_, what if its in a shell? I did rm file [17:27] * cousin_mario just lost the bootmanager due to another distro having been installed: how do you restore it from the livecd? [17:27] edbian: Yeah, Windows runs perfectly [17:28] <_pg_> Zela: I am useless in the shell sorry [17:28] edbian: I also couldn't get Chromium OS to load. Nor could I get Hackintosh to load. [17:28] soadkombucha, This is extremely odd. I have to admit I don't know! Does the system give you any errors when booting a live CD? [17:28] edbian: The ACPI init error [17:28] edbian: It gives a kernel freakout [17:28] i want to copy my data in bin folder [17:28] edbian: And halts the boot [17:29] soadkombucha, Whoa. I don't know man. Maybe... bad hardware? [17:29] siddhion, How's it going? [17:29] Does anyone have any shell knowledge that can help me delete a file and not just remove it? [17:29] edbian: Again, I've run hardware checks [17:29] edbian: Nothing. Especially seeing as the laptop is 2 weeks old. [17:29] how can i get ownership for copy data bin folder [17:29] edbian: ok. that was quick. i just made it. so now i see that i have 100G of unallocated space under the newly created Extended partition :) now? [17:29] is there any software helps me to make auto run CD which works in both linux and windows? [17:29] edbian: create the 3 partitions? [17:29] siddhion, yep [17:29] edbian: I know this is weird... I've never before had a problem installing linux. And none of my friends can figure it out either. [17:29] edbian: It's the most confusing thing I've ever seen. [17:29] funkyHat: you around? [17:29] hi [17:30] edbian: And I even tried different forms of installer media [17:30] Zela: shred "file" if that is what you call "delete" [17:30] edbian: I tried USB install, CD install, installing from my friend's memory card [17:30] My Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD is extermely slow, I have checked the MD5 already, previous versions were fine, there seems to be many i/o errors in the logs, any help? [17:30] ok llutz [17:30] <_pg_> dekenx: bad cd drive? [17:30] soadkombucha, I have seen many windows systems totally ignore bad hardware and just run as if everything is great. Linux on the same machine would seize up. Maybe there is something majorly wrong with it? [17:30] edbian: I highly doubt it. I would hope not. [17:30] soadkombucha: I just came in on this. Are you trying to install ubuntu on a W7 machine? [17:31] binaryme: Yes. [17:31] _pg_: nope popped in a few distros and previous Ubuntu's work fine [17:31] edbian: ok i clicked on the unallocated space, clicked the Add+ button and should I make it Logical or Primary? was confused on that. [17:31] binaryme: Maybe if I installed XP and then tried to install ubuntu? [17:31] binaryme: And then reinstall Win7? [17:31] edbian: binaryme: Wubi won't even boot [17:31] hiya, i am having a prob where debootstrap is just sticking on locales for ever [17:31] anywhere i can check whats going on? [17:31] soadkombucha: you need to run chkdsk /f from windows, twice [17:32] binaryme: I did [17:32] binaryme: And I checked the RAM too [17:32] binaryme: No bad sectors turned up [17:32] soadkombucha: and it still won't let you re-partition the drive [17:32] edbian: coreection, it will only allow me to make a Logical partition. sorry. so i will choose 10G since this is for my Ubuntu Lucid install. [17:32] binaryme: Repartitioning the drive isn't the problem [17:32] siddhion, Logical partitions go inside an extended partition. [17:32] I am back [17:32] binaryme: I have the drive partitioned [17:33] binaryme: But. The discs won't even boot [17:33] siddhion, Good so far! [17:33] siddhion, Then the 95Gb for /home [17:33] binaryme: And I've tried MULTIPLE distros of linux, in both x86 and x64 architectures [17:33] siddhion, and swap at the end of the extended partition [17:33] soadkombucha: how many partions? [17:33] thanks for the help people, everything was restored in synaptic and the gnome works fine now :D [17:33] binaryme: Right now I have three partitions set up [17:33] binaryme: A windows partition, an NTFS data partition, and a partition that I want to use as extended for Ubuntu [17:34] edbian: :) and the File System for the Lucid install should be ext4, right? [17:34] siddhion, yes. [17:34] binaryme: It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. [17:34] edbian: cool, making it now [17:34] soadkombucha: have you created the extended partion? [17:35] binaryme: No, because I can't even boot into the ubuntu installer [17:35] binaryme: I can't even boot into live linux [17:35] binaryme: On any distro [17:35] binaryme: I get the same error on Fedora, Slax, Ubuntu 8 9 and 10, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Kubuntu [17:35] how does typing in another language work in ubuntu? I want to be able to type in simplified chinese. Is it anything like the windows IME thing? [17:35] soadkombucha, Have you tried the apci=no option or whatever it is? [17:35] binaryme: But the hardware is showing up as undamaged [17:35] edbian: I can't even get to that option [17:35] soadkombucha: you computer won't boot any linux live disk at all? [17:35] edbian: That's what I WANT to try [17:36] hello world [17:36] binaryme: Nope. Kernel freakout and ACPI error [17:36] binaryme: But I can't even get the option to disable ACPI === mike_ is now known as Guest76666 [17:36] soadkombucha, Whoa what? You don't even get to the ubuntu live CD menu? [17:36] edbian: Nope [17:36] anybody hell me [17:36] edbian: It's really screwed up isn't it? [17:36] help please i want to copy data file in bin folder [17:36] soadkombucha: some distros have a safe mode. have you tried that? [17:36] soadkombucha, YES [17:36] binaryme: I can't even get to live boot menus [17:36] I use a Huawei EC1261 USB modem. After installing usb-modeswitch it works fine from the stock Lucid kernel version. But on a fully updated system, it gets detected from sometime while at other times, it doesn't and checking dmesg, show that it is stuck at "waiting for device to settle before scanning". Any help? === nekomata is now known as Iorgrann [17:36] how can i get ownership of bin folder [17:37] binaryme: The only thing I could think was changing ACPI=OFF in the kernel [17:37] But I don't know how to do that through windows [17:37] soadkombucha: is it reading from the CD at all? [17:37] binaryme: It reads from the install media [17:37] soadkombucha: and how foar does it get? [17:37] #ubuntustudio [17:37] binaryme: Only to the kernel init step [17:37] Tina: I'm using a similar one with lucid and it works ok. If you right after you plug it in run "dmesg" in the terminal, are there any particular errors [17:38] binaryme: Then it freaksout when it tried to load ACPI [17:38] binaryme: But I have no way to DISABLE ACPI [17:38] Hy all! May I ask something about a loop login on Lucid Ubuntu original? [17:38] Anyone know why about:plugins (in Firefox) does not list the Java plugin? $java -version shows "java version '1.6.0_0' [17:38] soadkombucha: what kind pf computer is it?

May I ask something about a loop login on Lucid Ubuntu original? [17:39] help guys i want to ownership for bin folder [17:39] Hy all! May I ask something about a loop login on Lucid Ubuntu original? [17:39] siddhion: 2GB if you want to be safe, either should work [17:39] siddhion, The difference is trivial really [17:39] llutz, shred didnt get rid of it. [17:39] mattgyver: I've searched for open bugs on KRDC, but it doesn't look like my problem is listed. D'you reckon I should report it? [17:39] I want to delete Unreal3.2.1.8.tar.gz [17:39] binaryme: It's really weird. [17:39] soadkombucha: is there a "safe mode" or similar in the bios that you can set? [17:40] edbian soadkombucha ok cool [17:40] binaryme: Nope. [17:40] abhijain: sudo chown -R yourname:yourname /folder [17:40] binaryme: the Toshiba BIOS is very computer-retard-friendly [17:40] hola gente .... un concejo, compre una memoria USB de 16 Gb .. que sistema de archivos me recomiendan????? === bambam_ is now known as Guest74452 [17:41] I want to delete Unreal3.2.1.8.tar.gz can anyone tell me how to remove it? I used rm but I think it just removed it from the folder. [17:41] soadkombucha: well..... I've installed linux hundreds of times and never ound a machine that behave that bad. [17:41] Zela: rm -rf [17:41] binaryme: Yeah neither have I [17:41] hello all how to make my pppoe connection faster? [17:41] binaryme: It's really weird [17:41] binaryme: Even my manual iPod Linux installs never were this terrible [17:41] edbian: so all the partitions have successfully been made. now back to the installer [17:42] hi guys ... please what file system you recommended for an usb flash drive of 16 GB???? [17:42] How do you disable the Fn+Up and Fn+Down brightness adjustment on a Dell laptop? [17:42] edbian: unless there is something else i should do in Gparted?\ [17:42] centurion: FAT32 most likely [17:42] Rewt`: hi [17:42] soadkombucha: frustrating!!!! [17:42] siddhion, Nope. You're done there. Back to the installer. [17:42] err. tabfail. resno, hi! [17:42] binaryme: Yeah I know! [17:42] binaryme: It's absurd. [17:42] FAT32 or NTFS????? [17:42] binaryme: And the fact that it won't even boot WUBI [17:42] centurion: FAT32 it's less than 20GB [17:43] Iorgrann, rm -rf Unreal3.2.1.8.tar.gz? [17:43] hello world [17:43] Zela: the -rf is completely unnecessary there [17:43] Hi all [17:43] soadkombucha: yeah. Have you tried loading off a USB stick instead of a CD? [17:43] soadkombucha: ok .... thanks [17:43] binaryme: Yup [17:43] I've upgraded to Lucid Lynx 10.04 ltd and now the system doesn't recognise the external hard drive- Seagate Expansion USB 2.0 Hard Drive. Is there some command line functions I can cut and paste to get to the contents of the drive? [17:43] binaryme: And off a media card [17:43] soadkombucha: grrrrr. [17:43] hello all how to make my pppoe connection faster? [17:43] binaryme: And off multiple CDs [17:43] binaryme: And off of 3 different flash drives [17:44] edbian: so I should choose Specify Partitions Manually or Install SidebySide? [17:44] soadkombucha, It almost seems as if there is some low level hardware system in place that keeps other kernel's from booting. [17:44] siddhion, Specify manually [17:44] edbian: That's what I'm thinking. And if Toshiba did that I'll be pissed. [17:44] siddhion, Then you should be able to tell it what to use each one for. [17:44] Zela, Yep, as long as you're in the right folder, of course. Deletes the EXE file. Nothing else, though. [17:44] Zela: rm is delete. removing it from a folder is the same as deleting, it doesn't go somewhere else ⢁) [17:44] soadkombucha, Seems like that would break a EULA somewhere. [17:44] edbian: They have no right to tell me that I can't install linux [17:44] soadkombucha: Have you found any info (google?) re compatibility of linux with that motherboard? [17:45] edbian: I would assume so.. [17:45] Let's see if Toshiba live can offer any help [17:45] edbian: ok i did that and now i see all the partitions as expected. should i now click forward? [17:46] soadkombucha, ha ha. You should record the conversation some where. I'm sure hilarity will ensue... [17:46] edbian: I already called them once [17:46] Is any1 from Russia? [17:46] soadkombucha, "linux was created by russion hackers and it is illegal..." [17:46] so the scenario is use "twinkle" to make a voip connection and then quit . Then use skype to make a connection and then quit . So back at twinkle now "cannot access mic device is busy , cannot access speaker device is busy , . I need a way to see what resources twinke and skype are using like piping lsof to a file and generating diffs of something . so far I'm getting nowhere ... [17:46] edbian: They tried to get me to restore to factory settings [17:46] edbian: And I was like "Can't do that that partition doesn't exist" [17:46] soadkombucha, O god. What would that do? [17:46] hey everyone anyone know anything about how well the Ultimate Edition of Ubuntu works? [17:46] edbian: Because why use a backup partition when I know how to install windows by myself [17:46] I mean... it looks a lot different and not very useful like Ubuntu is... [17:46] soadkombucha, I don't see how that would fix anything anyway... [17:47] edbian: should I click forward? [17:47] siddhion, I can't see your screen bud. Where are you? [17:47] edbian: Neither do I [17:47] edbian: They assumed that WINDOWS wasn't working properly [17:47] edbian: step 5 of 8....the Prepare Partitions screen [17:47] Hi all. I am having a problem getting a game to run under wine. Half of the main menu won't appear. I have made the files executable etc and the menu appears [17:47] edbian: Unless...

[17:48] edbian: And that's halting everything [17:48] siddhion, Do you have the partitions choosen correctly? Don't worry, the last screen confirms everything before the isntalling starts [17:48] !ask | resno ;D [17:48] resno ;D: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [17:48] i need some help please someone come on private to ask him.. :( [17:48] funkyHat: thanks, let me get the laptop in question [17:48] Jun 12 09:44:08 greg-desktop kernel: [ 102.188475] scsi 4:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery.

[17:49] edbian: But it shouldn't be there I formatted the whole drive [17:49] edbian: all the partitions are showing up there correctly. the only thing I can do with each one is "Change" "Delete" and "revert" so I assume I should press Forward [17:49] Having this message when I try to mount my mp3 player [17:49] siddhion, Yep, you're done. You set them to be used as root and /home and /swap right? [17:49] edbian: I might just call it a lost cause [17:50] It worked fine in 9. whatever [17:50] i want to burn like 600 pictures to a cd , F-spot/export/cd , [17:50] says file to big 1.3 gb and it has an option to burn multi cd's but it only burns the first 300 or so and when i insert a new disk it dont burn the rest....

[17:50] edbian: no. how do i do that? [17:50] kop: wyfk? [17:51] So....anyone else having trouble with usb? [17:51] edbian: all i did was make them as you told me to in Gparted. I set root to be ext4, home to be ext4 and swap to be Linux-Swap [17:51] siddhion, You're gonna have to explore. All I remember is that it's a drop down menu that says "use as" and you have to click on the properties of the partition or something. [17:51] greg__: nope [17:51] /msg NickServ identify myrkmyrk [17:51] oops [17:51] AMD64 is the name of the generic x86-64 architecture, even on Intel (64bit) chips?

It appears if you did the second tweak from the first step (see above)). [17:51] ne7work: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:51] # altoptions=(recovery mode) single [17:51] Akiraa: correct [17:51] ss [17:52] i want to burn like 600 pictures to a cd , F-spot/export/cd , says file to big 1.3 gb and it has an option to burn multi cd's but it only burns the first 300 or so and when i insert a new disk it dont burn the rest.... [17:52] i've been trying to get samba working for two days. does anyone know how i can share a folder over my lan with read write access for all users? [17:52] kop: well I am not sure if it will help I am having issues 10.04, 10.10, every version except 9.04 [17:52] ikonia, there's not even a /dev file mentioned in /var/log/messages so I can mount it manually. [17:52] well 9.04 and earlier [17:52] shadows090: look at the guest user in damba [17:52] siddhion, I'm googling [17:52] I'm having an issue running a windows game on wine. The menu will appear but all the buttons are unavailable except for quit [17:52] greg__: what sort of device are you putting in [17:52] calum: then ask in ##winehq [17:52] hi there [17:53] ikonia:Thanks. I will go there. [17:53] i want to burn like 600 pictures to a cd , F-spot/export/cd , says file to big 1.3 gb and it has an option to burn multi cd's but it only burns the first 300 or so and when i insert a new disk it dont burn the rest.... [17:53] edbian: i know what you are talking about.... that option is available when you are creating a partition from with in the installer only [17:53] ikonia, a plain-jane usb mp3 player. It worked fine in 9.04 [17:53] edbian: Unless anyone can think of ANYTHING [17:53] shadows090: have you added a samba user and password? [17:53] greg__: have you tried a different usb device to see if it's the controller or device in specific [17:54] ikonia, a card reade3r worked if plugged directly into the computer, but not the hub. [17:54] edbian: when you create a partition from with in the installer the last two options are "USE AS" and "MOUNT POINT" ...these are the two options you are talking about right now. [17:54] soadkombucha: long shot. Can you remove that battery.. Internal 'clock battery' that is? [17:54] siddhion, No, you can def do this. I've done it before. If you click on the / partition (/dev/sda5 I'm guessing) what options do you have to do to it? You are at the manually partition screen right? [17:54] binaryme: yes. i can't get any folder to show up from another computer though. to tell the truth, i'm not sure where it's supposed to show up. i'm setting it up via terminal on a fresh install of server 10.04. so i don't know where it should show up on another computer [17:55] greg__: "the hub" ? [17:55] binaryme: i've never used it before, if you didn't catch that :p [17:55] has anyone experiences with lucid lynx and acpi? i have now the second pc where i need to set acpi=off and then ubuntu runs fast. otherwise i have to press a blank-key to get the pc doing anything at each single action during opening screen, booting, installation aso... [17:55] i would like to ask how could i get the boot menu [17:55] ikonia, yes a powered usb hub [17:55] siddhion, yeah, get to that screen and change the use as but don't change anything else. How do you get there? [17:55] i try to use esc but nothing happen [17:55] greg__: what file system is on the mp3 plater ? [17:55] im having problems configuring my touchscreen. found a similar problem on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow6xZqakN-M can anyone help? [17:55] player [17:55] siddhion, Sorry this is so difficult. I can't very well install ubuntu on something to follow along so I have to fly blind here. [17:55] shadows090: ok, have you shared any folders? [17:55] ikonia, vfat [17:56] hello guys... i wanna move to ubuntu but can't make my USB bootable,someone to help please? (at this time I'm on fedora 13 but on #fedora channel refuse to help me out) [17:56] greg__: does dmesg not show anything at all when it's plugged in, does "lsusb" show anything [17:56] is it possible to get the UDID of an iPod touch in Ubuntu? [17:56] ikonia:There is absolutely no-one in ##winehq [17:56] edbian: yes at the "manually specific" screen. so I click on /dev/sda5/ and its format type is ext4. its mount point is blank. its size is 10g [17:56] ikonia: oh, on multiple occasions I wound up with a IA64 iso because I thought it was the intel64 architecture, somehow the instal always failed :p [17:56] xnetmasterx: what tools are you using to make your usb work [17:56] calum: #winehq sorry [17:56] shadows090: by going into you home folder (or whatever) in and right clicking - then selecting share [17:56] siddhion, Mount point! Change it to / [17:56] ikonia:k Thanks. [17:57] hello all how to run something in background? [17:57] binaryme: i've created a couple dirs and tried sharing, yes, but i can't see them on another computer [17:57] ikonia, i'll try dmesg and lsusb. thanks [17:57] ne7work: cmd & [17:57] ctrl+c is for stop any process what i need to click for background? [17:57] llutz, what? [17:57] binaryme: oh, it's from a server without gdm or kde, just terminal [17:57] i do hold the shift key to see the boot menu but nothing happen [17:57] what is the problem [17:57] ? [17:57] Hi, can someone help? Got 'broken packages' have to repair with apt-get but I don't know how....help please... [17:58] transformer7: what package [17:58] ne7work: "your-cmd &" or "your-cmd" then press ctrl-z and type "bg" [17:58] shadows090: try going into a console: sudo smbpasswd -a user (where user is your login name === matt__ is now known as matt2000 [17:58] ikonia: don't know [17:58] hey, i keep having this problem were my installs run out of HD space after a few months. I have a lot of huge files, and a 1.5TB drive. if i look at the properties of my home folder it's only 1TB, but the drive is full. i assume the rest is hidden files. can I go thru with a terminal command and remove all the backup files? [17:58] ikonia i'm using "Unetbootin" to create the USB [17:58] image [17:58] ikonia, it shows the device in lsusb: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0781:74d0 SanDisk Corp., but it's not mounted [17:58] transformer7: what command are you doing that gives you the broken package warning [17:58] edbian: when I click it the EDIT PARTITION window comes up. I can only change .....oh wait. I have to define the USE AS section to ext4....now I can change the Mount Point. [17:58] xnetmasterx: from what OS are you using unetbootin? [17:58] binaryme: alright, done that with two users (one for the server, one for the host) [17:58] greg__: interesting, [17:58] siddhion, Just do use as / [17:59] siddhion, What options do you have for mount point? === Farkie is now known as Farkie[Away] [17:59] edbian: should I check off "format the partition" ? [17:59] shadows090: restart samba (or reboot) [17:59] greg__: do "sudo fdisk -l " do you see the disk ? [17:59] i'm using fedora 13 [17:59] siddhion, Def don't format the partition [17:59] /var/log/messages says :Device offlined - not ready after error recovery [17:59] binaryme: alright, done [17:59] ikonia, ok [17:59] xnetmasterx: ok - that's not supported here then [17:59] !beginners [17:59] siddhion, Uncheck it. What options do you have as mount point? [17:59] edbian: mount options = /, /boot, /home, /tmp....etc. [17:59] !irssi [17:59] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [17:59] siddhion, / [17:59] lol so tell me a tool that IT IS supported here [17:59] u.u [17:59] edbian: no worries, it is unchecked [18:00] there is 1 broken package according to systemupdater [18:00] siddhion, Pick the appropriate ones [18:00] shadows090: what machine are you trying to access it from? [18:00] but do not know which one [18:00] xnetmasterx: ubuntu is supported here, not fedora [18:00] siddhion: re-installing? [18:00] mneptok, Yeah and I've flying blind :) [18:00] edbian: ok i will choose / because this is the 10G partition [18:00] binaryme: an ubuntu laptop on the same lan [18:00] ikonia... i wanna leave fedora to join ubuntu... [18:00] transformer7: hit the "view detail" button on the updater [18:00] THE_GFR|WORK, pre apologies to ikonia but for just a second I'll editorialize at the risk of angering the natives . PulseAudio is a hopeless failure on ALL my hardware that affects all manner of processes other than audio . I have been able to hold it at bay up till 9.10 but since 9.04 is LTS that's where I'm at . Again PulseAudio is invasive garbage that needs a complete rethink or just let it die . You would think that the way devl hangs [18:00] on to PulseAudio that there was some VC special interest $$ in there or something . There just has to be a better way to implement and control audio other than low level access to every aspect of an OS ... [18:00] siddhion, right [18:00] hi. how can i make flash player .so available for other users in ubuntu 9.04 please? firefox is 3.5.5.. thanks [18:00] xnetmasterx: I understand that, however we don't support the other tools/platforms [18:00] how can I get temperature sensor working with intel i5 and gigabyte mobo? I have lm-sensors installed [18:00] binaryme: as i said though, i'm not sure where the directory is supposed to show up on the machine i'm accessing it from. i've never used samba before [18:00] ikonia, no it's not listed [18:00] xnetmasterx: missed your question...what is it? [18:00] oh...nvm [18:00] greg__: now that is odd [18:01] shadows090: can you see any machines on the network? [18:01] edbian: and I just chose /home for my data partition [18:01] siddhion, good good [18:01] is anyone know where i can find ebox-trafficshaping module for lucid server [18:01] siddhion, It's all making sense now :) [18:01] shadows090: places - Network? [18:01] edbian: :) now with the Linux Swap I can not choose a mount point. I assume that is correct. [18:01] ikonia, /var/log/messages says:Device offlined - not ready after error recovery [18:01] kop: yup, you angered a native. me. file bugs and feature requests on the appropriate bugtracker. this channel exists for people to get help. it does not serve as a place for your (or anyone else's) cathartic rants. [18:01] binaryme: yes, it shows a "Windows Network", and it says "failed to retrieve share list from server" [18:01] siddhion, But you can "use as swap" right? [18:01] greg__: try this reboot without the device in, sudo tail -f /var/log/messages, put the device in and then pastebin the lines that come up [18:02] binaryme: may be related, but my roommate has a windows network (that i'm not trying to access) so it may be his computer [18:02] binaryme: windows computer** [18:02] edbian: correct, "USE AS" is set to "swap area" [18:02] siddhion, It's right [18:02] ikonia, will do [18:02] edbian: so i click forward now? [18:02] greg__: it would be good to get a clean log (I know it's a drag) of what's happeneing [18:02] siddhion, Yep [18:02] shadows090: ok. on the laptop, share a folder by right click on one (or create one called shared) and shared it [18:03] hola [18:04] binaryme: alright, i'm installing samba on my laptop right now (just had it installed on server before) [18:04] hay alguuien [18:04] What is the name of the program that you can just type a command into and it does it with out opening a shell (ie to load a gui application) [18:04] hooooooooola [18:04] sereal: terminal [18:04] !es | willy_ [18:04] willy_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [18:04] willy_: you said that already [18:05] shadows090: samba emulates windows networking. It has to be on both for them to communitcate using the smb protocol [18:05] Slidinghorse, no, not make a terminal. it's just a small gui, that you can type one command into [18:05] sereal: or you can press Alt+F2 for a command launcher [18:05] sereal: try pressing Alt+F2, see if it pops up a small window [18:05] siddhion, How's it going? [18:05] dont know the name of it [18:05] binaryme: oh wow. i didn't know it had to be installed on both [18:05] whats the name of the command launcher?

[18:05] I just need the name of the actual program that command launcher is [18:06] jamshid: you shouldn't need to compile it, it's in the repos sudo apt-get install xchat === Guest156756 is now known as n00p [18:06] shadows090: yep [18:06] edbian: I clicked forward and a pop up came up saying "The file system on /dev/sda5 assigned to / has not been marked for formatting. Directories containing system files (/etc,/lib,/usr, /var, ....) that already exist under any defined mountpoint will be deleted during the install. Please ensure you have backed up any critical data before installing. Should I press Continue or Go Back?

That partition is empty [18:06] i so want a FriendlyARM mini2440 [18:06] hart: is pulseaudio equaliser available in the repositories, or from a website? [18:07] siddhion, Do you understand what it is saying? It's afraid you had some old linux system installed with / there and it's telling you the folders will be erased if that's true.

[18:15] aziz_say, it's the default software install/remove program with ubuntu. should be in Menu > System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [18:16] binaryme: hey man i appreciate all of the help. i'm going to compare the smb.conf files on my two machines and try to get it working correctly [18:16] binaryme: i can see the one I shared from the laptop (not the server) [18:16] hart: I don't know exactly how the audio stack works in kde either, you might be better off asking in #kubuntu [18:16] funkyHat: i just got an error: serious kernel prolem [18:16] I just finished my new software which can read BluRay Disc on Linux. Is there someone who have a BluRay Disc Reader for testing it ? (sorry for my bad english, I'm french) [18:16] shadows090: try compying the smb.conf to the server [18:16] resno: ooH! [18:16] funkyHat: im waiting on the broswer to open to dpaste :) [18:16] jamshid, to be honest, I have never used software center. It's supposed to be an "easier" method to install software, but I've heard of issues, so I tend to recommend synaptic or apt-get [18:17] binaryme: yeah thanks i'll give that a shot now. is there a way to select all in either nano or vi? [18:17] shadows090: yes, but I can't remember how of the top of my had.... try man vi [18:18] binaryme: i know it's a PITA, i'm working over ssh in terminal only. it's a first, but it's on really old hardware and i couldn't get gnome or kde working. alright thanks [18:18] There is one particular application that looks bad under my current GNOME theme. I'd like to make that application, and no other, use a different theme. How? [18:18] shadows090: in vim if you have vim-gnome or vim-full installed you can do ggVG then "+y to copy everything to the X clipboard (assuming that's what you want to do) [18:18] LogicalDash, what program, and in what way do you want it to look different? [18:18] shadows090: you could try a live distro like puppylinux or dsl [18:19] edbian: so it seems to have loaded properly. Ubuntu Lucid recognizes my wireless connection but when Iclick it to connect to it a popup asks me for my WPA & WPA2 Personal password. How do I acquire this password? [18:19] shadows090: they are designed to work on old hardware with limitted resourses [18:19] shadows090: if you're trying to copy a file to another machine it'd be easier to just use scp or something [18:19] shadows090: you can also take a look at Lubuntu - I have xubuntu with LXDE running on the laptop i'm using right now...machine's a dog, but screams w/ lxde [18:19] SlidingHorn, it's a Java app called GURPS Character sheet. Normally I use a dark background and light text, but this app uses custom colors. Only it fails to override my colors in some instances. Lame, I know. [18:20] binaryme: yeah. i took the gui's not working as a way to force me to learn the terminal. and thanks i'll look into lubuntu. i have a feeling copying the config files will work [18:20] shadows090: ok, best of luck. [18:20] binaryme: thanks a lot man [18:20] funkyHat: http://dpaste.com/206475/ [18:20] I was trying to do it by making a new user account and re-themeing that, but this introduced a whole new can of worms... [18:20] funkyHat: its weird, the machine hasnt shutdown like normally [18:21] resno: computers are scared of me. it knows I'm helping so it's behaving [18:21] resno, I just club mine to death with a clue by four when the need arises [18:22] kop: so a baby seal walks into a club...... sorry, couldn't resist [18:22] LogicalDash: I'm not finding anything at this point...still looking [18:22] edbian: I assumed it was askingme for my Ubuntu passowrd so I typed it in and then it asked me to create some key ring password. I did that and entered it. Still I can not connect with Firefox\ [18:22] resno: arp. I needed lsusb -v not lspci [18:23] SlidingHorn, nothing like having to listien to my own material , fair punisment for my occasional rants [18:23] funkyHat: http://dpaste.com/206476/ [18:23] I've been able to change a few aspects of the appearance by specifying a different gtkrc file in the environment variable GTK2_RC_FILE. But the colors don't seem to change. Not all of them, anyway. [18:23] Possibly I just need the "correct" gtkrc file. [18:23] so the scenario is use "twinkle" to make a voip connection and then quit . Then use skype to make a connection and then quit . So back at twinkle now "cannot access mic device is busy , cannot access speaker device is busy , . I need a way to see what resources twinke and skype are using like piping lsof to a file and generating diffs of something . so far I'm getting nowhere ... [18:26] greg__: back now [18:26] how do I write an upstart script to call a custom stop script for my service? [18:27] thewoolleyman: upstart is just a shell script, it does need certain varibles, there is good documentation, or use an existing one as an example [18:27] resno: hm. can you try that again but with sudo? [18:27] resno: sudo lsusb -v that is === Luuk|headache is now known as Luuk|game [18:27] ikonia I have looked at docs and examples, still stumped [18:27] thewoolleyman: then you can't write one [18:27] ikonia: have looked at docs and examples...

[18:29] thewoolleyman: the examples show that [18:29] ikonia, i found a bug report with nos solution [18:30] not to go OT, but i love seeing all these threads in the forums "ubuntu killed my machine" -- no...*YOU* killed your machine...ubuntu just did what you told it to. [18:30] greg__: ok, subscribe to that bug, put your findings on it and help work it through [18:30] ikonia, ok will do.

And how can I tell it to invoke a different script/params during start vs stop?

[18:45] how can I tell upstart to call a stop script which is different than a start script? e.g. start is /bin/start-myservice and stop is /bin/stop-myservice?

[18:47] thewoolleyman: I do not believe this is necessarily the correct solution, but you could write a wrapper script that can both start and stop it [18:47] my gnome repeatedly says gnome-settings-daemon:1979: WARNING **:connection failed,reconnecting [18:47] after failing loading some modules [18:47] I tried gnome-session to load it anyway,normal way doesn't work either [18:47] resno: I removed the ServerFlags section, DontZap is default anyway [18:48] SlidingHorn: Yeah,thanks ^_^ [18:48] muep`: I don't think that is correct either, I'm trying to find the right solution. What does upstart do by default to stop a service? [18:48] KnightStalker: (try to keep as few lines as possible - i.e. no using Enter as punctuation) what modules were you loading? [18:49] thewoolleyman, should be calling script located in /etc/init.d with start|stop|status parameter [18:49] thewoolleyman, I think [18:49] SlidingHorn,I dont know,I just type gnome-session =( [18:49] MeanEYE: Unfortunately, the service doesn't have a script like that, and I'm trying to avoid writing one. That's the problem. [18:49] gnome-panel,gnome-screensaver,nautils,gnome-power-manager,gnome-user-share and ......... fail [18:50] thewoolleyman, that's the proper way to do it... why avoid it? [18:51] SlidingHorn: and the exact problem is Failed to fork (Resource temporarily unavailable) [18:51] MeanEYE: I thought upstart was supposed to replace /etc/init.d scripts [18:51] how i install metasploit [18:52] SlidingHord,you still there?

[19:14] no, like, create a group and add chats that you can double click to join [19:15] the cause of my problem is on our comp, there r 3 usb ports that work, i am copying files so 2 are in use, and the third can be keyboard or mouse, but not both [19:15] cipher421, looks like we have the same problem :) [19:15] can someone explain to me this.. i have a directory set at www-data:root and everything works fine my permisions are 777. even when i set the directory to root:root since I have 777 why does the program not function correctly and display chmod errors? [19:15] thats why i wanted to know how to use mousekeys [19:15] SlidingHorn: no [19:15] that ureadahead error is nothing to do with it [19:15] Weedy: no, it shouldn't be.

[19:16] hello guys [19:16] drew212, you mean groupchat? [19:16] MeanEYE vtigercrm [19:16] banker247: the httpd may complain that the permissions are *too* permissive. [19:16] banker247, it's a web based CRM? [19:16] yea [19:16] MeanEYE: no, add a chat to a contacts list in empathy... like you can in pidgin [19:16] Sytheon: what encryption? [19:16] meaneye i guess what i was asking if i understood the concept of file permisions accuratly [19:16] banker247: and is your httpd actually running as www-data? [19:16] meaneye because i have it set to 775 www-data:root and everything works fine [19:16] banker247: it may also be an ownership issue. chown to whatever user apache is using (sugarcrm? - i preferred vtiger personally) [19:17] banker247, try setting group permissions or setting group to that folder... [19:17] sorry, ubuntu may have Qt4 from 10.04 or earler? [19:17] meaneye i mean everything works fine when i have 775 www-data:root set [19:17] Weedy: WPA/WPA2 [19:17] what i was wondering for future isssues is why the root:root 777 didn't work.. since its 777 [19:17] banker247, if files of that CRM are set as root:root then webserver won't be able to access them... [19:17] meaneye even with 777? [19:18] meaneye is that because its root? if it was any other user it would work? [19:18] Sytheon: try installing wireless backports [19:18] the best practise is to chmod www-data:www-data [19:18] banker247: is the dir 777? or is everything inside it 777 also? [19:18] banker247, chmod them to www-data... you don't want anything as root [19:19] Weedy: Okay, I can find that in synaptic I guess? [19:19] yes [19:19] meaneye the whole thing? so www-data:www-data? [19:19] banker247, if you have apache2 installed [19:19] short question, how do I get the volume applet to be vertical again? [19:19] meaneye i have it set at 775 www-data:root right now and everythign works fine [19:20] hey [19:20] can someone help me with cgi? [19:20] banker247, there you have it... [19:20] i just didn't understand why it would matter who the owner/group is if i have 777 on the file [19:20] i cant exec a file .. 9.10 and apache 2.2 [19:20] banker247, apache is run as www-data user... and tries to access files as that user... [19:20] MeanEYE: ikonia: got my answers on #upstart - thanks for your help: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/593125 [19:20] meaneye right but with 777 the "other" group has access to which mean everyone right? [19:21] kickar: might be overly simplified, but I'm no expert --- try: chmod +x [19:21] ikonia, I got it working.....changed usb mode in the player from auto-detect to msc [19:21] banker247, you should avoid making o=rw directories... it's considered a security hole [19:21] lo room === ahmed is now known as Guest96439 === Guest96439 is now known as EE_ [19:22] meaneye i understand that. i was testing a concept.. and dont know why it didn't work i'm still learning users/groups/persmisinos concepts [19:22] cyber lyfe [19:22] lyfe on the internet [19:22] banker247, might be apache config is preventing usage from anything root... not sure though... [19:23] It`s better than having wet dreams about Sailors [19:23] Hello I have a question about saving :set ts=2 in gvim and :set number [19:23] if I want to multiboot a computer with ubuntu, win 7 and win 2008 server (just for playing around with) should i just start with win 2008 (oldest windows) or should i prepartition everything? [19:24] Do ubuntu first but make sure to save enough for the windows partitions [19:24] EE_, just make sure you install ubuntu last... windows will overwrite MBR [19:24] Serpentinex, Win will kill grub... [19:24] Idk worked for me :3 [19:24] EE_: consider prepartitioning. because Win7 likes to take up ALL space it can [19:24] xD [19:24] EE_, You may wish to consider virtualization [19:24] i agree with dsnyders on that as well [19:24] Ok, so, booted the rescue mode did nothing different. Just started to boot up and froze in the same spot [19:24] wow so many different answers [19:24] Serpentinex: I thought sure I had read somewhere that you should always install Windows first, as it takes everything it possibly can [19:24] Serpentinex, yeah... if you have 2 drives or more [19:25] Yeah I have 2 drives [19:25] meaneye is there a site i can go to to learn about users/groups because i'm not understanding things correctly [19:25] maybe that is why it worked for me [19:25] Weedy: it's taking a while.. [19:25] banker247, I can help you ... just come to private chate [19:25] I can install a second HDD but dont really need the extra space. Got almost 700 GB on the one installed currently [19:25] > Bad: new password is too simple : how can I remove the password rule ? [19:26] The reason I ask is because I looked at the partitions currently on that computer with only windows 7 and I dont understand why there are three [19:26] what is the keyboard shortcut to rename a file [19:26] matelot enter the same password again, it should accept it [19:26] in nautilus [19:26] i'm using dsl. why am i not able to connect my.opera.com with network-manager? i can connect my.opera.com with 'sudo pon dsl-provider' [19:26] guys, who not forget version ubuntu have start Qt4 support? [19:27] i deleted all /boot/ directory!!! need help!! how to reconfigure grub and the images from the directory???????? [19:27] LukeL: it doesn't work [19:27] Captain_Trek: if I prepartition would it simply be three partitions, one ext4, two NTFS? [19:27] how can i configure who-ever-does-it (i suspect the wm) that when i make a window active (for example "show rhythmbox") it moves the window to my current workspace? [19:27] ubuntu crashes on boot after "ureadahead exits with status 4" [19:27] from fresh 10.04 install [19:27] qurvel, you can't open that website? [19:27] LukeL: it keeps complaining password too simple [19:27] f2 [19:27] (instead of just highlighting it in my window list, and have me click on it and take me to the workspace.. i hate it) [19:28] matelot: so make your password more complex [19:28] CaptainTrek: don't want to type too much ;) [19:28] matelot: you are using the passwd command? or setting the password how? [19:28] how can install a nes kernel in my installed linux from live-cd??? i deleted /boot/ directory!! [19:28] matelot: complex doesnt mean long [19:28] Dr_Willis: yes, "passwd" [19:28] CaptainTrek: just want to KISS [19:29] crap my harddrive [19:29] matelot: try something: 8 - 10 chars, lowercase uppercase and numbers in the pass [19:29] nm it just unpluggesd [19:29] matelot: might fix it [19:29] captaintrek, no ideas? [19:29] CaptainTrek: if I go with your suggestion of prepartitioning would I just need three? (one ext4, two NTFS)? [19:29] evon: nope [19:29] Whats the most painless windows emulation program? [19:29] EE_ um... probly [19:29] Kioho: WINE [19:29] matelot: Hmm. root might be able to set a users password without the security warning [19:29] how can i download metasploit in unbunt !!? [19:29] anyone else having boot problems with 10.04? [19:29] #ubuntu-ni [19:29] hmm, i know of Wine, but it doesnt work to all that i wanna use it for :p [19:29] Kioho, VirtualBox :D [19:30] EE_: i havent worked with windows server though, so consider using a vitrual environment instead [19:30] EE_: if it already has three partitions, you need to know whats on them [19:30] Kathe told me about some kind of windows emulation thingy [19:30] Kioho: what are you wanting to do - that will dictate what to use. [19:30] ah Virtualbox [19:30] fitoria: "/join #ubuntu-ni" (sin comillas) [19:30] cipher421: you arent giving us details of what you need help with [19:30] that was what he told me, thanks Meaneye [19:30] kioho: you're going to have to work to set anything like that up...maybe virtualbox or vmware could work as well [19:30] There's got to be a way to remove this darn passwd rule [19:30] heck just desktop Ubuntu... [19:30] virtualbox were way more useful than wine according to the dude i talked to yesterday =] [19:31] Kioho, sorry, am not following :D [19:31] and some work is always needed so thats no worries [19:31] weedy: Okay, I installed it, what now? it doesn't display it yet [19:31] Kioho: they are 2 very different things. [19:31] oh MeanEYE i meant that Virtualbox was what i was looking for hehe, some dude in here told me about it yesterday [19:31] just forgot what it was named hehe [19:31] captaintrek, there are no ubuntu drivers or anythign like that? [19:31] Kioho: what is it you want to *do*? what is the goal? [19:31] play daoc ^^ [19:31] Kioho, VBox is virtual machine... in which you can install windows... don't count on playing games though :D [19:31] binaryme: one of them is a 'boot' partition i know that [19:32] Kioho: try WINE first. [19:32] yup i tried that mneptok [19:32] doesnt work correctly with daoc and daocportal unfortunatly [19:32] Can someone help me install Mac4Lin? It's not working, the install script just throws up a bunch of errors :/ [19:32] kioho: if you want to play windows games, WINE will be your best bet...you should check the WineAppDB for compatibility [19:32] CaptainTrek: Ive used virtualbox in ubuntu before but couldnt get it to connect to the internet [19:33] CaptainTrek: virtualization as good as real install? [19:33] yup i did that SlidingHorn but daocportal doesnt run properly with Wine :/ [19:33] EE_: if it is a standard Win7 install, then there nay be a small 'system' partion (100MB), a boot (as you said) and a recoviery? [19:33] gonna try vbox and see if that will wanna work [19:33] Anyone familiar with generating public RSA keys for ssh authorization? Ive created the key however after installing on the client machine the server still doesn't prompt for the darn passphrase [19:33] binaryme: ill check right now [19:33] Ive never had issues getting VBirtuablbox connecting to the internet :) i did actually read teh Vbox docs/manual at the vbox homepage... [19:34] found it: sudo passwd your_user_name [19:34] binaryme: whatever they are, do you think if i prepartition that I have to separate those too or will win take the one i give it of three and split it up? [19:34] matelot, you can just type passwd and it will change passwd for current user [19:34] kioho: check this out...someone got it working: http://www.dolserver.net/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=12136 [19:35] yeah i've been trying to get it to work by following all guides i found on dolserver >_> [19:35] EE_: are you going to completely reinstall eveything? [19:35] binaryme: yes. [19:35] thats actually the guide i followed the most [19:35] MeanEYE: I was trying to set a "simple" password [19:36] Mac4Lin gives me a lot of "Cannot open: No such file or directory", yet I'm looking at that file -_- [19:36] unfortunatly the Password window in Daocportal doesnt show when using wine or mono [19:36] hehe [19:36] EE_: ok, providing you have backups of everything you want to keep,... [19:36] MeanEYE: it complains "too simple" [19:36] riyonuk: is it confirmed to work on lucid? for example the gdm part could be outdated; just install the icon and gtk theme, and global menu if you wish; what errors does it produce? [19:36] MeanEYE: so need to "sudo" [19:36] Id take a screenshot...if I could. [19:36] how can install a new kernel in my installed linux from live-cd??? i deleted /boot/ directory!! [19:36] binaryme: I like ubuntu best, my gf is linux shy so she gets win7, and I wanna play with server 2008 because I need to know it someday for my career in IT (still learning). and yes I have backups [19:36] matelot, you should only get a warning but you shouldn't be prevented to set a simple password... also if you are changing password for root... that's a nono :D [19:36] kioho: you may want to try posting in the Ubuntu Gaming forum to see if anyone can help: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=93 [19:37] binaryme: nothing important anyway, new computer [19:37] MeanEYE: No, it wouldn't let me...it keeps complaining......so I finally did the sudo [19:37] Installing Mac4Lin UI... [19:37] tar: GTK/Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [19:37] Thats pretty much all the errors(: [19:37] matelot, ok :D ... glad it work:) [19:37] oh ty SlidingHorn :) [19:38] riyonuk: try using pastebin instead of pasting to the channel [19:38] EE_: I would partition it so you have an NTFS partion for Win7 and an EXT4 partiotion for ubuntu + a small (2GB) partion for Linux Swap [19:38] !pastebin | riyonuk [19:38] riyonuk: 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. [19:38] riyonuk: are in the same folder as where you downloaded that archive file? [19:38] binaryme: 1 recovery partition, 1 boot/pagefile/crash drump/primary, 1 system, active, primary [19:38] riyonuk maybe slash is your problem [19:38] riyonuk: that the thing to give you a mac theme on ubuntu? Id suggest not messing with it. it can be a pain to remove. Plus theres allready a great many mac type themes out there. [19:38] hello [19:38] binaryme: so you would prepartition? and you would give win 7 just the one NTFS? [19:38] ruggero: howdy, how can we help? [19:38] Dr_Willis, yeah, now I'm all worried about all the stuff that's installed. Linux gives me a headache :| [19:39] MeanEYE: ok, I can boot by taking out quiet splash in the grub menu - then install. However, after reboot - goes back to blank screen unless I go into boot grub and replace quiet splash with nomodeset. Anyway to make that permanent? [19:39] aaro700930, slash? [19:39] EE_: I would recommend using a virtual machine for Windows Server (virtualbox). [19:39] riyonuk: it just installed some themes, and can tweak some settings.. nothing major. but can be an annoyance [19:39] riyonuk: plus it really dosent act like a mac. just looks sort of like one. [19:39] riyonuk GTK/ that last character, is GTK a directory on your computer? [19:39] mj8741, in grub config file... do you get X running? when you remove splash? [19:39] The ONLY think stopping me from using Linux, is the looks. I cannot stand how...outdated it looks any any themes I actually like, are all custom : [19:40] EE_: You could install Win7 and either custom configure the partion(s) toi the size you want and then install ubuntu... or [19:40] MeanEYE: yes [19:40] aaro700930, yup, I'll do that [19:40] riyonuk: its trivial to get new themes.. or even totally change window manager/desktops. so tweak it how you like [19:40] mj8741, not sure why that is happening... but you can change grub config file... [19:40] How to run a prgram as root !!? [19:40] MeanEYE: I've never done that - know it's location? [19:40] sudo ./ !!? [19:41] looksharp: depends on the program [19:41] looksharp, sudo or gksu for gtk [19:41] EE_: you could just let win7 do its thing and then resize the partition to make room for ubuntu later. If it was me, i'd go with option 1 [19:41] sudo/gksudo [19:41] send me a link to down loard win 7 [19:41] ruggero: err.. No.. [19:41] ok ty [19:41] You can't, except from Microsoft. [19:41] mj8741, /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:41] Nope, nothing. /GTK/Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [19:41] binaryme: ok virtualisation isnt going to reduce the functions in win server? and as far as win 7 / ubuntu are concerned i dont mind partitioning myself but I just wanna know if I need to make three for win 7 or just one NTFS and then it will make the three within that itself? [19:42] riyonuk That was a question, anyway for tar you cant give it a filename with "/" in it unless GTK is a directory and the rest of the filename is Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0.tar.gz [19:42] I want to use in virtualbox [19:42] MeanEYE: thanks [19:42] I want use sudo [19:42] EE_: if you want server on there as well, then, you will have to create the partitions first... but running server in a virtual machine will work just fine for testing [19:42] to run .run files [19:42] EE_: it wont make partitions within it self. if you're prepartitioning, you'll need 3 partitions [19:42] aaro700930, it is a directory [19:42] mj8741, np :D [19:43] looksharp: sudo [19:43] ok [19:43] looksharp: assuming you are in the folder where the .run file is] [19:43] looksharp, sudo works for terminal... use gksu/gksudo to run files from run dialog (ALT+F2) [19:43] riyonuk strongly suggest you use graphical environment way more easy to deal with compressed files [19:43] looksharp, is it doesn't work try: sudo sh ./blabla.run [19:43] aaro700930, what do you mean? What do you want me to use? [19:44] ok ty [19:44] riyonuk right mouse click. Extract here [19:44] dr-willis please send me a link for win 7 [19:44] CaptainTrek and binaryme: seems complicated to prepartition (to make three for win 7 and two for ubuntu)... maybe i should just install win 7 first, then ubuntu then virtualise 2008? sound reasonable? [19:44] or view [19:44] ruggero: No. [19:44] aaro700930, I did that...thats how I'm running the script [19:44] ruggero: if you want it - you go buy it. [19:44] EE_: yes [19:44] or are you implying moving files manually [19:44] EE_: you might consider it, but win7 doesnt like its partition resized. i've had issues with using win7 after resizing its partition [19:44] o.O [19:45] EE_: you can only have a max of 4 primary partitions on a drive, so if you want/need more, you need to work with extended partions [19:46] On my netbook the microphone doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu 9.10. I'm trying to use it in Skype but it doesn't work in the sound recorder either... any ideas? [19:46] i just need to prove the virtualbos [19:46] Does anyone here have Sage installed and uses it? [19:46] chazco, which sound card do you have? [19:46] ruggero: dosent matter. we dont support warezing of windows here. Find it elsewhere or go buy it. [19:46] binaryme: oh yeah... i just did A+ two days ago, I should know that lol. ok well do I have to have three partitions for win 7? can I not just use one, or two? If it comes down to it I have another 120gig I can put in [19:47] riyonuk, this message: tar: GTK/Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory " was given on a window in graphical environment? [19:47] Lantizia - Not sure... it's a MSI Wind U100... i think it used to show up as HDA in an older version... [19:47] hello, applications on gnome often get killed suddenly,what is the solution for this? [19:47] is it hard to port Mac OS X apps to ubuntu? [19:47] chazco, hey man, try going into skype options, mess around with audio and check out your mic IN settings, just flip to the next on the list and hit test call until you find the one [19:47] EE_: I would install win7 first. Select the custom install and tell it to only use 50% of the drive... [19:47] aaro700930, yeah, in terminal [19:47] ok dr willis [19:47] Vooloo: depends on the app. I imagine it can be difficult. [19:47] Dr_Willis: os x really is that much different? [19:48] Vooloo: parts of it. Yes. [19:48] Then go back and run the ubuntu install and let it use the rest... [19:48] chazco, did you check volume settings? [19:48] riyonuk Ok, then type "pwd" without quotes and tell me what it prints [19:48] WikkidByDesign - The only option in skype is PulseAudio... it doesn't work in the Ubuntu sound recorder either... [19:48] anodesni - Everything looks okay... [19:48] chazco, probably not the issue I had then nevermind [19:48] chazco, eek, i dunno what tko tell ya then lol [19:48] binaryme: but is it still going to make 3 partitions just for itself? [19:48] chazco, you have to select the right "input device", or something like that [19:48] EE_: no, it shouldn't. I should only make two [19:48] When i attempt to download pdf file, i get the option to open using GIMP, how to change it so that it open it with evince? [19:49] it prints "/home/riyonuk" [19:49] chazco, it might be possible you have your mic muted in your Pulse Audio settings [19:49] anodesni - I've tried every option i can find in the Ubuntu Sound Preferences... nothing seems to work... you just get silence (with a bit of a hiss) [19:49] binaryme: ok so ubuntu uses two as well right? which then brings me to the max [19:49] chazco, maybe the channel is muted, you can check by running "alsamixer -c0" in a terminal, if a channel is muted it shows MM at the bottem, you can unmute it by pressing m [19:49] chazco, i would check that [19:49] EE_: the third one you can see is likely a recovery partion used to restore the pc to 'factory' defaults... [19:49] riyonuk where is the theme file you downloaded? Maybe Downloads or Desktop? [19:50] binaryme: yes it is, but that one isnt created by default during win 7 install? [19:50] aaro700930, yup [19:50] riyonuk wich one of the two [19:50] Ubuntu_Lover: right click on the pdf and select Open with Other Application..find evince and make sure the "Remember this application for "PDF document" files is checked [19:50] EE_: if you know how to install win7 from scratch, you don't need it. no, it will not be created by the install [19:50] aaro700930, downloads [19:50] hi [19:50] I opened a new terminal when I ran that command [19:50] riyonuk, then type cd Downloads [19:51] Ubuntu_Lover: also -- if evince is not listed, open a terminal (Menu>Accessories>Terminal) and type: sudo apt-get install evince [19:51] and pwd away please [19:51] again [19:51] chazco, I've had the problem before. I had to LOWER the volume of the input mic channel for it to work! [19:51] binaryme: I almost get the feeling that this plan of mine isnt supposed to be executed lol [19:51] chazco, in pulse audio settings [19:51] anyone else here with boot problems on 10.04? [19:52] "/home/riyonuk/Downloads" [19:52] okay... [19:52] cipher421: if we all say 'NO' will that help? [19:52] no [19:52] riyonuk try again tar command [19:52] cipher421: state the actual problem you are having to the channel and see who can help. [19:52] aaro700930, type "tar"? [19:52] Dr_Willis: hahahaa! [19:52] i've been trying.... [19:52] anodesni / WikkidByDesign - I've check in pauvcontrol, the ubuntu volume control and alsamixer... everything seems okay... [19:52] cipher421, My boot doesn't fit.... [19:52] MeanEYE: that worked - can boot - shows error message "error probing SMBI" but it does boot up ok... [19:52] EE_: it can be a little tricky/scarry.... but it's not that bad. like I said, if you have a backup (or new machine), you can always start over if you fail the first time [19:52] binaryme: wait.... one more thing. If I install win 7 (and it makes two partitions) and then I install ubuntu and it makes two partitions, can I virtualise anything?? does virtual box make a partition for each OS? [19:53] freeze on boot after "ureadahead exits with status 4" [19:53] from fresh install [19:53] hi from brazil [19:53] mj8741, I have the same message, didn't really notice any malfunction [19:53] EE_: i belive you can some how force windows7 to install to one partition. [19:53] cipher421, What is the condition of your hard drive? [19:53] having a firmware update problem [19:53] works like a champ [19:53] EE_: virtualbox uses virtual hard drive files.. not real physical drive partitions [19:53] it's an ssd [19:53] cipher421, Is this a new system or a well used system? [19:53] riyonuk What did you type when you got this? tar: GTK/Mac4Lin_GTK_Aqua_v1.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory [19:53] MeanEYE: yeah, seems to work ok anyway. thanks for the chat! [19:53] about a year old [19:53] EE_: virtual box puts everything in a file, inside the linux partition. it doesn't need a dedicated partition [19:54] aaro700930, I dragged the .sh install script to terminal and pressed enter [19:54] cipher421, Have you run a diagnostic on the hard drive? [19:54] Is there a way to equip the python interactive shell with tabcompletion? [19:54] mj8741, yw [19:54] cipher421: http://ubuntuguide.net/howto-fix-ureadahead-problem-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-10-04 [19:54] riyonuk: you might want to spend some time learning a bit more of shell fundamentals befor trying to mess with that Mac4Lin stuff :) [19:54] riyonuk type ls GTK* and tell me what you got on screen [19:54] Dr_Wilis and binaryme: that's interesting! now I do have a spare 120gig HDD and slot I can use... would you guys bother? Im not concerned about space [19:55] why cant you use wildcard in /etc/hosts? :( I need a smooth way of accessing my local apache, like *.localhost rather than having to add every single virtualhost in /etc/hosts ... do I need to run a local DNS server? [19:55] SlidingHorn, Hmm.... New things..... [19:55] SlidingHorn: I did the same as u said but it is not working. when i open pdf file on my PC it opens with evince but the problem is only wiht files that i open from websites.

[22:38] greezmunkey, so basically CallingGroup exists in your homedir?

[22:39] unop: the issue is with mysql, I added my group to its perms, but the query that tries to read in the file fails, so I'm kind of stuch - having only a rudimentary knowledge of *nix permissions. [22:39] jalexbrown: then simply: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then run the command that that site says [22:39] unop: SlidingHorn: May I ask a seemingly stupid boot question?

But now I'm getting the same error [22:41] keith_: try gnome-look.org or kde-look.org depending on what flavor you have [22:41] The other question I have, I know the answer is probably not, but here goes. I have Windows 7 installed on this machine with Ubuntu. Is there any way that I can get a Virtual Machine that will let me run a physical install of Windows 7 within Ubuntu? [22:42] royceremer_: Where do I put the acpi=off line once I hit e to go into edit mode [22:42] Jordan_U, what do you recommend, and whay do you think it happened?

[22:42] Rafael_, loook for a ftp application then [22:42] Rafael_: just put them in the document root, which is normally /var/www/html [22:42] i have prftp installed [22:42] proftpd [22:43] royceremer_: That's the only thing I need to do. Then once I get that working I'll be back in here to figure out how to do it permanently (assuming I can get my keyboard working) [22:43] I hear VMWare will let you run Win7 in Ubuntu. [22:43] Rafael_: ikonia: actually apache by default uses /var/www/htdocs if I remember correctly -- simply use your ftp program of choice and upload to there [22:43] Virtual Box? [22:43] acer_ ikon ia: do i have to configure anythign on apache... [22:43] Is either Virtual Box or VMWare free? [22:43] SlidingHorn: Would you happen to know how to do that? I know WHAT I need to add, I just don't know WHERE to add it [22:43] Rafael_, but if you are about to use your own machine to host your files, you won't need a ftp. Just put the files you need to host on the directory ikonia told you.

[22:44] acer_: Which is why I asked about /dev/disk/by-id/ [22:44] royceremer_: Not yet... Temporary edit. [22:44] And will Virtual Box let me run a Windows install that is physically installed on my PC? [22:45] jalexbrown: Nothing will [22:45] I have Win7 and Ubuntu dual-booted though. [22:45] soadkombucha: I thought you wanted it to be permanent, and that would be the place to do it [22:45] jalexbrown: please ask question about virtual box in #vbox [22:45] royceremer_: I do want it to be permanent. But I want to get booted into the install first. [22:45] well i fisnich building my website with wepplusx2 on a 2windows machine..i nkon you have to uploaded it and that is were i was stuck...and were to uploaded [22:45] jalexbrown: no, you'll have to install a clean version...you can *access* your windows files by mounting the partition, but that's about it [22:45] Okay, thanks guntbert. [22:45] and after this do i need to do anything to the configuration of apache? [22:46] royceremer_: I tried appending acpi=off at the end, but it still kernel panicked. Is there a special format that I need? Like --acpi=off/--noacpi in a specific place? [22:46] Rafael_: it really depends on a million other factors...what technologies/languages are used on your site, etc. if it's just a basic site, apache should be configured as you need it from setup [22:46] Jordan_U, I will reboot from Ubuntu. Just give me a sec please. [22:46] soadkombucha: Put it at the end of the linux line, after "quiet splash" [22:46] logging in from kde, give me a ksmerver failed error, anybody knows what that means and how to fix it [22:46] Jordan_U: Thank you [22:47] Jordan_U: Do I need to append -- to it? [22:47] soadkombucha: No [22:47] Hey, I've got three problems: 1) Whenever I shutdown/reboot on Ubuntu, it gives a kind of glitchy/artefacted display before actually doing what it's supposed to. 2) The username/shutdown button in the top right has been cut in half, only showing half the username. And 3) I don't yet know how to access Ubuntu shares from Windows, what's the syntax for what to put in Windows' "Add network place" dialog? [22:47] Jordan_U: OK. Once I get booted into it, assuming I can get my keyboard working, I'll come ask how to edit grub.conf [22:48] SlidingHorn: i use webmin to configure ubuntu (i know people do not like it), do i need anything special to configure there..the website is in english [22:48] unop: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/448894/ [22:48] !webmin | Rafael_ [22:48] Rafael_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [22:49] Rafael_: by languages I meant PHP, ASP, etc. I'm assuming your site is most likely just HTML, in which case, no...you shouldn't have any problems with apache serving your site up [22:49] When soad comes back , tell him he shouldn't edit grub.conf directly as his changes will get overwritten, he needs to edit /etc/default/grub, and CHANGE GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT e.g. GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi=off" [22:49] unop: additionally, I tried the query with " and with ' surrounding the filename, same result [22:49] once he's done that he needs to run update-grub [22:49] is it possible to fold a window into a titlebar only? by like, double clicking the title bar? this works on fluxbox [22:49] unop: did you get my pastebin url? [22:49] greezmunkey, there seems to be no TechnocomLocal.txt file in /SteveHome/CallingArea/ [22:50] greezmunkey, ls -l /SteveHome/CallingArea/TechnocomLocal.txt [22:50] Hi all [22:51] figaroo: howdy, how can we help? [22:51] unop: I gave an example listing from /SteveHome/CallingArea - the file exists: -rw-r--r-- 1 stevec stevec 14045 2010-06-12 12:42 TechnocomLocal.txt [22:51] unop: there are hundreds of files there :) [22:51] I was wonder if there's a way to get ubuntu to run in the background on my windows machine, so that way I can connect to it through SSH? [22:51] Jordan_U, yes. I may have that dir. [22:51] In other words, get it set up like a server on my windows machine, while still being able to run windows [22:52] logging in from kde, give me a ksmerver failed error, anybody knows what that means and how to fix it [22:52] Jordan_U, at least I've typed it on my terminal and it listed something. [22:52] SlidingHorn: Thanks...i see on webmin that i have on apache a efault Server and a Virtual Server...do i need to create anything there or any new virtual server? [22:52] Jordan_U, want me to paste it somewhere? [22:52] I'm having troubles with flash on amd64 ubuntu 10.04. Out of nothing, randomly my flash videos or so turn gray and are inactive until refresh. Is there a way to fix this? [22:53] unop: someone in #mysql suggested making the directory world readable. My original question was if that was the proper way to achieve mysql being able to read the data, or if I should lock it down more than that. [22:53] larompa: sounds like the flash plugin is crashing.. and no.. I don't think there are any good solutions [22:53] I want to learn linux server administration, without having to pay for a provider. [22:53] greezmunkey, you mentioned something about a symlink earlier - i don't see any symlinks here [22:53] greezmunkey, I suspect if you had a permissions problem - the error would indicate that and say something like "permission denied" [22:54] Slart, Ohh...this looks bad then :) [22:54] greezmunkey: if someone tells you to "make it world readable" - don't trust them in that case until they explain [22:54] acer_: Yes, please pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" [22:54] Slart, Thanks anyway :P [22:54] Slart, don't know if I can use gnash for youtube? [22:54] larompa: well.. it's flash and adobe.. doesn't get uglier than that =) === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [22:55] Jordan_U: OK I did acpi=off and noapic [22:55] larompa: I haven't tried gnash for a while.. perhaps it has improved [22:55] unop: I'm severly lagged here, sorry [22:55] Jordan_U: Now I'm getting the same error that showed up when I used to attempt to do a live boot. I took a picture and uploaded it to tinypic: http://i47.tinypic.com/29c46eq.jpg [22:55] Slart, I know but web designers/web programmers use it sadly. [22:55] larompa: yup [22:55] Vooloo: go to system/preferences/window - change titlebar action [22:56] is there anything like apt-cache search that shows which of the packages i have installed (besides synaptic)? [22:56] nibblebot, dpkg -l [22:56] nibblebot: dpkg -l will list installed packages [22:56] nibblebot: dpkg -l|grep ^ii [22:56] guntbert: awesome, thanks [22:57] greezmunkey, in case you didn't already get this .. " you mentioned something about a symlink earlier - i don't see any symlinks here " [22:57] Vooloo: you're welcome :-) [22:57] Jordan_U, all right, it is at: http://pastebin.com/p1pV72Ea [22:57] Anyone who can help me resolve an error like this: http://i47.tinypic.com/29c46eq.jpg It used to show up during a live boot, now it's showing up on an actualy Ubuntu 10.04 install [22:58] unop: I figured that was an aside... I have a symlink in /home/stevec that merely points to /SteveHome - I's simply there to make it quicker to move data from my home directory to /SteveHome within Nautilus [22:58] nibblebot: or apt-cache pkgnames === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF [22:59] acer_: Interesting, that seems fine. Can you try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc"? It will ask you some questions, the one you care about is the one about install devices (if it's presented). For the other questions just leave them at their default. Some will be blank, that's normal. [22:59] hmm none of those do quite what i want [22:59] want to show both installed and available that match a search pattern ala synaptic [22:59] Hi. I'm new to ubuntu and I foolishly upgraded to version 10.04 without thinking and now my wireless won't work. I've googled until my eyes spin round and I gather this is a common problem but I am struggling to sort it out. Terminal is telling me there is no connection. My wired connection is working okay. [22:59] not just installed [23:00] logging in from kde, it gave me a 'ksmerver failed' error, anybody knows what that means and how to fix it????????????? [23:00] logging in using kde* [23:00] unop: I think I'll create a data directory that is read/write for the mysql group and put the data there and see what happens, [23:00] guys..i do not have any folder var/www/html or var/www/htdocs...should it be thre by default or i have to create it? [23:00] Jordan_U: Did you see what I said up there? [23:01] anyone use vtiger? [23:01] greezmunkey, well, i suspect you can get away with just adding execute on SteveHome and CallingArea ... [23:01] soadkombucha: Yes, I'm not sure what's happening. Did you press ctrl+x to execute the edited entry? (hitting escape loses the changes) [23:01] banker247: i have it locally set up on my laptop -- liking it a lot [23:01] greezmunkey, chmod +X /SteveHome /SteveHome/CallingArea [23:01] Is there a tool to install Ubutnu from a USB flesh drive? [23:01] Jordan_U: Alright. Lemme go try again [23:01] Out`Of`Control: Yes. [23:01] Jordan_U, man, I got stuck in the first question. It's about a linux command line. Empty. [23:01] unop: I didn't think of that... [23:02] SlidingHorn mind if i PM you? [23:02] unop: It's wrth a try [23:02] !install | Out`Of`Control [23:02] Out`Of`Control: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [23:02] banker247 not at all [23:02] Out`Of`Control: You can do it manually using syslinux from command line. I know there's an app out there... [23:02] greezmunkey, right now, the mysql process isn't able to access CallingArea because of the absence of this bit [23:02] But be right back [23:02] thanks [23:02] i guess synaptic is using both dpkg and apt-cache search to return a list of all packages matching search criteria and show which are installed and which are not? [23:02] greezmunkey, or atleast, that's what i think is happening -- the error message is a tad bit misleading [23:02] I have 6 GB ram what should i install 32 or 64 bit? [23:02] acer_: That's normal. [23:03] Out`Of`Control: 64 [23:03] ok thanks folks! [23:03] unop: That make sense now. I read all the docs I could find on that, but none of them mentioned that little tid-bit :) [23:03] acer_: Just leave it empty and continue. [23:03] Jordan_U, it says it came from /etc/default/grub as a 'kopt' paramether. I just press *enter* now? [23:03] nibblebot: to my knowledge it directly uses the apt database [23:03] After installing the nvidia drivers for my laptop, the animated ubuntu logo (that appears between selecting a kernel to boot, and x loading,) is all messed up. the resolution is off, the animation doesn't work, and it only shows for a couple seconds [23:03] is there anyway i can do the same kind of search from command line or aptitude [23:03] do I need to do anything to turn on hosts.deny filtering? [23:03] where can i go to ask questions about how to mount images to a usb flash drive while using linux? google is too confusing [23:04] i was wondering if perhaps i could fix this in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but apparently in 10.04 there is no more menu.lst [23:04] aptitude search is too clunky, and apt-cache search doesn't tell me what i have installed [23:04] ok, thank you. bbt! [23:04] blue_anna: yes, edit /etc/hosts.deny to your needs [23:04] nibblebot apt-file search [23:04] nibblebot: you will be probably quicker if you read the man pages yourself :-) (man aptitude,...) [23:04] So my question is two-fold, 1. how can I fix this ugly boot screen, and where is grubs config file? [23:04] ^2. [23:04] xorwhy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#/boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:05] Thank you thank you thank you [23:05] llutz like this? ALL: .doubleclick.net, .adbrite.com ? [23:05] unop: hmm, it seems that the x bit was already set on thoes directories, but obviously only for my user/group [23:05] xorwhy: There is grub.cfg which is not meant to be edited manually. Instead read about /etc/grub.d and update-grub [23:05] blue_anna: "man hosts.deny" [23:05] llutz, I'm still contecting to adbrite.com [23:05] aptitude forces me to descend the tree for which repo and then which category to see the search results. this is useless for me [23:05] greezmunkey, it wasn't set on CallingArea -- atleast not in your pastebin [23:05] when I do rsync it sends files to the server (/home/user/file1), then agiain (/home/user/user/file1) and so on [23:06] nibblebot, aptitude search "~ikeyword" # shows installed packages matching the "keyword" [23:06] unop: heh, I see that...moving forward :) [23:06] blue_anna, apt-file is for finding files within packages, right? i just want to search package names.. [23:06] unop: I'll run the query again, brb [23:06] schlaftier: Editing /etc/grub.d/ is only needed for non standard configurations, normal options should be changed in /etc/default/grub . [23:06] ah aptitude search seems to work ok [23:07] nibblebot, oo, well yea, then apt-cache or dpkg -L is the right tool [23:07] Jordan_U: yes, I'm sorry I confused that. But it's all in the Wiki anyway [23:08] blue_anna, no, none of those do what i want, aptitude search is the only one that shows both installed and not installed packages with indicators [23:08] thanks unop [23:08] nibblebot, apt-cache search packagename === JamesPhillips is now known as JP [23:08] JamesPhillips, doens't have indicators for isntalled status [23:09] everytime i try to burn an iso image to dvd it fails but to cd it works fine [23:09] blue_anna: hosts.deny/allow control incoming connections, not outbound === JP is now known as Guest15318 === Guest15318 is now known as JamesPhillips [23:09] logging using kde, it gave me a 'ksmerver failed' error, anybody knows what that means and how to fix it????????????? [23:09] Jordan_U: OK now I have Ubuntu booted, first how do I make acpi=off permanent, second I'm not able to connect to wireless how do I go about fixing that? [23:10] xorwhy, try the link i pmed you [23:10] PatrinStar: I don't understand: "mount an iso to an usb flash drive" - can you explain? [23:10] reading it [23:10] How do you clean installations cache from terminal? [23:10] llutz, are you sure? hosts files used to not be stateful [23:10] uLinux: sudo aptitude clean [23:11] ty llutz [23:11] llutz, meaning before, your computer would still send a packet to initiate a connection, but when it came back from that host it would be dropped, and no connection would be established [23:11] soadkombucha: Edit the kernel parameters in /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub" [23:12] soadkombucha: For wireless, what wireless card do you have? [23:12] guntbert, im using linux ubuntu 9.04 and i want to take a windows 7 iso image and mount it on a 4gb flash drive so i can install windows 7 on my netbook [23:12] Jordan_U: It's realtek [23:12] Jordan_U: Toshiba laptop default [23:12] Jordan_U: How do I edit the file? === root is now known as Guest20488 [23:13] what applications do u recommend for someone who wants to rip dvds to filesize not bigger then 400mb on ubuntu [23:13] darko3d: none [23:14] CaptainTrek: what do u mean [23:14] kurde [23:14] PatrinStar: I still don't understand - mount means to attach a file system to a directory -- if you want to create a usb boot media for windows then this is not the right channel [23:15] pytanie mam, jest jakiś tu polak? [23:15] darko3d: i mean that i don't recommend any applications, because there's almost none that can take an ENTIRE DVD and shrink it to under 400MB IMO === gosc is now known as oOo [23:15] guntbert, ok, sorry i have my terminalogy wrong. i know that, thats why im asking what channel should i go into cause i dont know where to ask without getting in trouble [23:15] darko3d: also, i don't even know if your intentions are legitimate, so that's another factor. [23:15] When I use a file input field in Firefox 3.6.3 (to select a file to upload on a webpage), I select a file and click 'Open'... However, the field shows the file that's above the one I selected [23:16] PatrinStar: windows support is in ##windows [23:16] Jordan_U: I'm being told I do not have permisions to edit the file [23:16] CaptainTrek: have u seen the 300mb movies on the web, i have a collection of 400+ dvds that i would like to get store on an external dvd [23:16] stored* [23:16] This is a recurring bug that can be combatted if I select a different location first, then go back to where I want to choose the file from; or if I type the exact location into the 'Location: ' bar in the dialog [23:16] Is this a known bug? Is there a fix/workaround? [23:16] i ve intalled adobe flash 64 bit.. oh my god.. this is so horrible. when will adobe create an flash version that will work good [23:17] soadkombucha: "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" [23:17] Hey I did something really stupid. I deleted that top menu panel on gnome [23:17] and i dont know how to get it back [23:17] if i try to watch anything in fullscreen flash it will lag so much [23:17] Eh: ask them - how should *we* know? [23:17] i meant to remove this malfunctioning weather applet [23:17] !resetpanel | Ta3v [23:17] Ta3v: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:17] danke [23:18] Jordan_U: OK that part is done. Now I just don't have wireless, or my touchpad [23:18] guntbert, thank you [23:18] patr [23:18] lol [23:18] Eh, have you tried nspluginwrapper? [23:18] soadkombucha: What wireless card and touchpad? Did either work from the LiveCD? [23:19] i dont want it.. ill watch youtube videos in vlc instead.. flash sucks so badly [23:19] !pl | oOo [23:19] oOo: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [23:19] Jordan_U: Touchpad worked, wireless didn't [23:19] Eh, yes, flash sucks. [23:19] Jordan_U: Keyboard didn't work in live CD, but now it does [23:19] Newb Query: I installed ubuntu twice, now I want to delete the second - can i just use gparted, or do I have to mess with grub2? [23:19] Eh if is just for youtube, you can use html5 [23:19] cdcdcdc: You can delete its partition(s), for sure, then edit your grub menu to remove its entry [23:20] BrianE: thx [23:20] yes i know.. but i am on firefox and i cant view h264 html5.. only webm.. so i better view in vlc.. so i dont have to switch to chrome [23:20] glines [23:21] cdcdcdc: Make sure that the Ubuntu partition you delete isn't the one that grub is currently using for its files. [23:21] Eh: That's not an Ubuntu problem, Firefox right now doesn't have h264 support; in fact only IE9 has it IIRC, because Microsoft paid for licenses [23:22] BrianE: that's the part i'm confused about - i don't see entries in /etc/default/grub that look like i want to edit them [23:22] bithunter: Dang thats really it, well here goes the reboot test. [23:22] i know its not an ubuntu problems.. thats why i said i dont want to swtich to chrome.. chrome has h264.. [23:22] unop: well now I'm really perplexed. I did what you mentioned earlier to no avail, so I created a new directory with user and group of mysql, copied that data files over and recursively changed their user/group to mysql - and the query still fails for the same reason!! Bizarre. I'm reading all about that at this point. I am obviously missing something simple. [23:22] cdcdcdc: "sudo update-grub" will rewrite your grub.cfg, without the old Ubuntu entry (once the partition is gone that is) [23:23] Jordan_U: oh, great, that's what I was wondering. so update-grub actually finds all bootable partitions [23:23] cdcdcdc: Yes. [23:23] rm -rfv /* [23:24] !danger [23:24] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!

[23:27] Jordan_U: Checking now but will it find anything without being able to connect to the internet? [23:27] bithunter: thanks that worked, and i never would have found that [23:27] :) [23:28] When i installed i choose to setup the network later because i was not plugged in to the network, now i dont know how to get connected to the internetor config my network connection due to the lack of a GUI [23:28] !serverguide | JP02 there is a chapter about networking too [23:28] JP02 there is a chapter about networking too: The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ [23:28] "internetor config"? [23:28] internet or configure* [23:28] soadkombucha: It should at least help you figure out what you need to install, which you can then copy over with a flash drive (or connect via ethernet temporarily) [23:29] Jordan_U: It didn't pull anythign up [23:29] Jordan_U: But I found some generic realtek wireless drivers that I can try [23:29] ok, so here's a question then.... [23:29] soadkombucha: Realtek, ugh... [23:29] cdcdcdc: Sorry, just realised my answer wasn't very helpful [23:30] is it possible to launch a guest VM such as Windows 7, running without any graphical display? [23:30] cdcdcdc: Run "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg", then scroll towards the bottom; you'll see the entries there [23:30] hi there, my compiz isn't working [23:30] any help? [23:30] Jordan_U: Yeah I know [23:30] Jordan_U: It came with my toshiba [23:30] such as - so that I can use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to it over the network, but that on the system itself there is no X running? (host OS is Ubuntu) [23:30] BrianE: cdcdcdc: No, /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not meant to be edited manually. [23:30] i have nvdia drivers enabled, and I also have the effects enabled [23:31] sylbot: That's rather generic, can you give any more information? Any errors? Specific problems? [23:31] sylbot, what means "isn't working"? [23:31] err, there aren't any errors, it just doesn't work [23:31] like the effects don't show up [23:31] Jordan_U: I may have to wait to get internet on here until I can hardwire it into my friend's computer [23:31] greezmunkey, are you sure you got the right filename? case and all? leading and trailing spaces? [23:31] the wobbly windows, the cube, the explosion [23:31] they don't happen [23:31] Jordan_U: If I ethernet it in is there a way to force it to download and install drivers? [23:32] willwork4foo: you can do that with the virtualbox from the virtualbox site (not the ose one in the repos) and VBoxHeadless using vrdp (so the windows remote desktop should work, although I've only used rdesktop) [23:32] BrianE: thx, i'm just going to update grub after deleting the partition - if i can figure that out [23:32] willwork4foo: what virtualization product? if virtual box ask in #vbox [23:32] trism: I'm using the full Oracle Virtualbox 3.2 [23:32] not using OSE [23:32] ah ok - thanks [23:33] Jordan_U / cdcdcdc: Sorry, Jordan_U is correct; I haven't edited GRUB configuration myself since about 9.04, so I was presuming it was the same idea as with the old menu.lst [23:33] Jordan_U: How is it edited now? [23:33] Jordan_U: However I do now have a properly booting ubuntu install... I'll wait for my friend to see what I can do. Thank you for all the help :) [23:33] I don't really know what else I can do. I mean, there are no specific errors or anything, the effects are just not happening [23:33] soadkombucha: In general, most of the time hardware isn't working it's because the code to use it isn't there or is broken. You can't "force" something to start working, and I wouldn't call installing drivers "forcing" :) [23:33] can I have zenity exit when progress=100? [23:33] !grub2 | BrianE [23:34] BrianE: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [23:34] Jordan_U: Well I mean will it locate drivers for all found hardware if it's connected to ethernet? [23:34] sylbot: Have you got them set to 'Extra' in System -> Preferences -> Appearances (Visual Effects) ? [23:34] soadkombucha: Since Hardware Drivers failed to find anything, the system doesn't currently know what needs to be installed to get things working. [23:35] Jordan_U: gparted shows sda1 as flagged boot i guess cause I'm booted to it. but all the other partitions including both swap are on sda2 - obviously i don't delete that [23:35] Jordan_U: The index failed to load due to lack of internet connection [23:35] Jordan_U: I'm on another computer [23:35] Hey guys why is revovo disabled in btnx from the latest build? [23:35] sylbot, the compiz fusion icon might be handy to switch compiz on or of [23:35] whoever asked if they were on extra, thanks, they were on none [23:36] but still [23:36] unop: yes, very sure. It's a file permission/directory access issue with mysql - I'll figure it out, thanks man! :) [23:36] i tried to enable it, and it said could not be enabled [23:36] aesgf [23:36] how can allow the terminal on linux to write arabic without revers its words? [23:36] sylbot: You said you enabled your restricted video card drivers - Have you rebooted since then?

[23:36] BrianE, yes. They are active [23:37] !offline | soadkombucha [23:37] soadkombucha: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.alturl.com/ - See also !APTonCD [23:37] Hey guys why is revovo disabled in btnx from the latest build? [23:37] sylbot: What video card do you have? [23:37] sylbot: Is it modern enough to support those effects? [23:37] hello [23:37] IdleOne please go there #ubuntu-arabic ? [23:37] Purpley: is that in anyway related to Ubuntu? [23:37] can I have zenity exit when progress=100? [23:37] I believe so, I have a GTX 260 [23:37] Is there a service I can enable so I can connect to a telnet server? [23:37] it packs plenty of power [23:37] visof: yes, ask in #ubuntu-arabic they should be able to help [23:37] IdleOne, btnx is a package in ubuntu and revoco is part of it so yes. Any idea where you would suggest me going? [23:38] does anybody know what software is to process ppa builds? [23:38] is used* [23:38] Jordan_U: Which one do I download? [23:38] IdleOne i ask you to go there [23:38] Purpley: sorry never heard of either that is why I was asking [23:38] visof: I don't speak arabix [23:38] visof: I don't speak arabic [23:38] sylbot, what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? [23:38] IdleOne please just go there , then quit [23:38] arabix, the arabic spin of Linux :) [23:38] bithunter, what? [23:38] IdleOne, Oh its ok, I thought it wasnt working until I ran sudo btnx and it said revoco wasnt in this build [23:39] visof: why? [23:39] Hi.. anone here who is using OpenBox? [23:39] How do I use that command in terminal, bithunter [23:39] soadkombucha: Check the package "linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic" in synaptic then select File > Generate Package Download Script [23:39] IdleOne you will know when you there [23:39] ug i'm confused by all the partitions. there is one "unallocated" next to sda1 then two "unallocated" on sda2. both swap are on sda2 and they are different sized - i don't konw which goes with which install. dual booting two versions of ubuntu seems to make a mess. [23:39] sylbot: Run "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils", then "glxinfo | grep direct" [23:39] sylbot, type glxinfo | grep direct [23:39] Jordan_U: I'm not on linux right now either. I can manually download all the packages and install them [23:39] !terminal | sylbot [23:39] visof: I'm not playing any games. If the channel is empty why not just say so [23:39] sylbot: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:40] err, yeah what do i type ubottu [23:40] IdleOne, it isn't now [23:40] visof: anyway I do not know the answer to your question [23:40] IdleOne, ok [23:40] soadkombucha: Can you boot into the Ubuntu install to create the download script? [23:40] How do I turn on telnet? [23:40] Jordan_U: No, the ubuntu install is on another PC entirely [23:41] question: how do i tell which swap partition goes with which of the two installations of ubuntu i made? [23:41] soadkombucha: I don't see why that is a problem. Do you have a flash drive you can transfer files with? [23:41] Jordan_U: Yes. [23:41] Jordan_U: I just have to download all the files [23:42] can I have zenity exit when progress=100? [23:42] sylbot: When the terminal window is open, just type "sudo apt-get -y install mesa-utils", then enter. When that completes, type "glxinfo | grep direct", and copy / paste what it says here (or pastebin it) [23:42] how can i remove some of the drives from the default places menu? [23:42] soadkombucha: Go to Ubuntu machine, create package download script, copy script over to to other machine with flash drive, download packages, copy packages back with flash drive [23:42] How do enable telnet? [23:42] it says that the newest mesa utilities is installed [23:43] Jordan_U: How do I create a package download script without any internet access? [23:43] sylbot: Then just run "glxinfo | grep direct", and paste the output [23:43] Can anybody help me? [23:43] drphresh, depends :) [23:43] drphresh, no [23:43] don't enable telnet [23:44] http://pastebin.com/SJFncd3q [23:44] glx missing on display [23:44] soadkombucha: Getting packages from another machine when the one you want to install them to has no internet connection is what the package download script feature is made for. [23:44] Yahweh: why? [23:44] drphresh: use ssh [23:44] drphresh: Incoming or outgoing? [23:44] telnet is insecure [23:44] BrianE: outgoing [23:44] Jordan_U: No I cannot connect ubuntu to the internet, and the package isn't showing up in synaptic [23:44] drphresh, it's like using gets(), there's never a good reason for it [23:45] drphresh: It should already be there, just type 'telnet' into a terminal prompt, or search the Ubuntu Software Center for a graphical client ;) [23:45] BrianE, Yahweh: ok [23:45] If, however, you just want to open a raw connection to a port, use "netcat" instead [23:45] can I have zenity exit when progress=100? [23:46] I just installed 10.04 and I'm getting an error trying to activate my ATI driver, anyone got a moment? [23:46] someone how can help me to install firefox? [23:46] pardon extreme newb q: if I delete my swap partition, can I just make a new one? how will my system know to use it [23:46] mehr: Firefox comes installed by default with Ubuntu, check in Applications -> Internet to see if it's already there [23:46] soadkombucha: It's in the main repository, so it really should show up in synaptic. I'm not sure why it isn't. [23:46] i know, buy i deleted ... now i can not find it [23:47] mehr: I recommend chrome [23:47] mehr: use Applications/Ubuntu software center --- search for chromium [23:47] mehr: Open the Ubuntu Software Center (Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center) and search for 'Firefox', then it's just a one-click install [23:47] ok [23:47] Urgh, don't impose your software preferences on people =-\ [23:47] i did that and is not there ... [23:48] It should be [23:48] bithunter, http://pastebin.com/SJFncd3q [23:48] Jordan_U: Neither am I [23:48] wierd [23:48] Jordan_U: If I download all the deb files and install them should I be OK? [23:48] Try running "sudo apt-get install firefox" in a terminal prompt [23:48] mehr: ^ [23:48] n8 [23:48] can I have zenity exit when progress=100? [23:48] soadkombucha: Any way, since that isn't working. Run "uname -r" to find out what kernel you currently have and download the corrosponding linux-backports-modules-wireless-version-generic package from packages.ubuntu.com [23:49] i do not know how to install it from mozilla web page ... [23:49] mehr, if software center does not list it (doesn't for me but I have it installed already) you can open up synaptic package manager to install it. [23:49] soadkombucha: Yes. [23:49] mehr: it's easier to do it without the mozilla web page... use command line or synaptic package manager [23:49] "sudo apt-get install firefox" from command line [23:49] I just installed 10.04 and Firefox was already on it. [23:49] Like two weeks ago actually. === tweak is now known as Guest37947 [23:49] or System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager and search for firefox [23:50] merh: If you install it via "sudo apt-get install firefox" or, as connermcd says, via the Synaptic Package Manager, you'll get updates for it via the 'Update Manager' [23:50] Jordan_U: Will the one from apt.apturl.com work? [23:50] Here is my full terminal [23:50] http://pastebin.com/NgrmbYqf [23:50] ok [23:50] i will try that [23:51] soadkombucha: Only if it's for the same kernel version as you're running on the machine in question. [23:51] how can i remove disks from places menu? [23:51] Jordan_U: But then I have to download all the .deb files and install them [23:51] who knows what to do [23:52] KalEl: open up nautilus and go to Bookmarks then Edit Bookmarks [23:52] sylbot: Sorry, didn't see a reply to asking it last time: Have you definitely performed a full restart since installing the driver? [23:52] sylbot, please type glxinfo in terminal and pastebin the full output [23:52] bithunter, http://pastebin.com/NgrmbYqf [23:52] soadkombucha: You should only need one .deb file, linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(uname -r)-generic you just need to find out the $(uname -r) part [23:52] Jordan_U: Yeah I got it [23:52] Im going through synaptics list of installed stuff, looking for things to remove (safely). Any suggestions? [23:53] connermcd, i cannot find the disks in bookmarks [23:53] hey guys my ping goes from 0.2ms to over 9000 ms (yes I know) to google, like fluctuating every other ping, why is that? [23:53] sylbot: He wants the output of 'glxinfo', not 'glxinfo | grep direct' [23:53] sylbot, without | grep direct [23:53] KalEl: oh, I see what you mean [23:53] Any ideas on saving some disk space would be appreciated here [23:53] deventio7, using wireless lan? [23:53] ubutom: yes [23:53] KalEl: I've heard of people making mounts hidden using a "." in front of the name [23:53] Jordan_U: Installing. Then I'll do a reboot and see. [23:53] deventio7, could be low signal [23:54] http://pastebin.com/4vq6EnNx [23:54] ubutom it's right beside the router and my ipod touch seems to work fine [23:54] bithunter, [23:54] connermcd, where can i find the files to put the '.'? [23:54] Jordan_U: Doing a reboot. I want to reboot to ensure that it loads. [23:54] bithunter, http://pastebin.com/4vq6EnNx, sorry pressed enter last time [23:54] ubutom, could it be a hardware fault === kris_832 is now known as KrisDouglas [23:54] deventio7, could be, or it doesn't play nice with the ipod [23:55] deventio7, could also be the router [23:55] Hi everyone === gary is now known as Gary [23:55] KalEl: Type 'gconf-editor' in the command line [23:55] Then Nautilus->Desktop [23:55] Jordan_U: Attempting to connect. what should I do if the connection still fails? [23:55] KalEl: Nautilus->Desktop->volumes_visible [23:56] Rather than typing 'gconf-editor' in the command line, you could type hit ALT+F2 then type it there, hit enter to avoid a terminal window being open [23:57] KalEl: or what BrianE says if you're afraid of the terminal [23:57] connermcd, sorry man... can't find nautilus in gconf-editor. is there any way to remove permission through fstab or mtab? [23:57] now what? [23:57] sylbot: You *have* restarted, yes? [23:57] yes [23:58] the drviers are active [23:58] connermcd, BrianE, thanks but not much afraid of the terminal [23:58] and i have [23:58] Also, when selecting the driver from 'Hardware Drivers', did you choose the latest one? The one with the highest version number appended? [23:58] KalEl: In any case, it saves an extra terminal window being open ;) [23:58] true... i have one open always :) [23:58] KalEl: nautilus is under Apps in gconf-editor or yes you can comment devices out in the fstab [23:59] when I install a new version of ubuntu 'around' an old version, does it put all the old partitions onto a new partition? [23:59] Actually, I was forced into safe graphics mode for some reason when I started. But then I typed in the x thing, and I got back to the normal mode or whatever [23:59] KalEl: you can edit the fstab to mount explicitly when you want [23:59] what is a solid easy to use download manager to download megaupload files ? [23:59] sylbot: Are you currently restricted to a lower resolution? [23:59] Jordan_U: I was doing it as a WEP key... It's probably a WPA key.
