[00:00] KalEl: Here is a website with information on editing your fstab - http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [00:00] Sylbot, there is a chance if you had a third party driver installed, it will need recompiling after an update [00:00] ubutom: it has a 100% connection apparently, and when connected to an external network adapter the ping is much better [00:00] BrianE, what? [00:00] how do i tell [00:00] Jordan_U: I still cannot connect. I'm going to reboot into windows for now, and then I'll try to figure this out later. Thank you VERY much for all the help you've been giving me [00:00] soadkombucha: The dialog that comes up should have the correct encryption type for the network selected by default [00:00] Sylbot, do you have an Nvidia, intel or ATI card? [00:00] ubutom: it's probably a problem with the hardware then, right? [00:00] Flomaster: What do you mean? [00:01] KrisDouglas, yes [00:01] Jordan_U: It didn't pull any networks. [00:01] sylbot: You'd probably notice if it was; items on the screen would look unusually large [00:01] which one [00:01] KrisDouglas, Nvida GTX 260 [00:01] sylbot, did you install dkms or updated the kernel without it? [00:01] soadkombucha: You're welcome. [00:01] connermcd, thanks... strange - my fstab only has two entries although i have numerous partitions, all available on Places [00:01] Jordan_U: That's my problem. I'll just try again later. Thank you for all the help, hopefully when I go over to my friend's later he can help me with this. [00:01] bithunter, i don't know [00:01] deventio7, could be many things, have you tried what happens if the ipod touchs wireless is off? [00:01] BrianE, no nothing is large [00:01] ok, sylbot, most likely you need to go download the latest linux driver, and follow the instructions given to install it, it's quite simple [00:01] connermcd, ntfs partitions are not there in fstab [00:01] sylbot, http://download.nvidia.com [00:01] KrisDouglas, I have the latest driver [00:02] sylbot: There's not much I can do to help you, to be honest... If all else fails, I presume you also have an onboard graphics card? You could try checking your BIOS settings to make sure your GTX260 is set as the primary card... [00:02] ok === administrator is now known as Guest51711 [00:02] sylbot: Because that output suggests that the GTX260 isn't being used :-\ [00:02] BrianE, I don't have one [00:02] The system can "see" it [00:02] the GTX [00:02] but you are not getting acceleration? [00:03] KalEl: In synaptic, or by apt-get you can install a little tool written in python, called "Pysdm" [00:03] (Python Storage Device Manager). [00:03] connermcd: when downloading large files from megaupload they are often broken into several pieces say 40 200mb pieces I need to take all 40 URLs and drop them into a download manager so it downloads one after another [00:03] sylbot, please pastebin the output of lsmod also [00:03] Do you see 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' under System -> Administration, sylbot? [00:03] KalEl: Then "System->Administration->Storage Device Manager" [00:03] Guys, is it possible to turn off the "has joined" and "has quit" messages? [00:03] BrianE, no [00:03] connermcd, sounds good, will try out [00:04] Strange, it was installed when I activated my NVIDIA driver... Could be relevant [00:04] Sylbot - driver isn't installed [00:04] KrisDouglas, in xchat right click the channel tab and select hide join/part messages, in other clients there are commands for that [00:04] http://pastebin.com/86PUEUA3 [00:04] i'm using Smuxi [00:04] wheres a irc tutorial or guide [00:04] sylbot: The driver isn't installed [00:05] Flomaster, install Tucan [00:05] <_schism_> hey guys can you watch netflix on ubuntu? looking through google now and I am a bit confused [00:05] sylbot: Go back into Hardware Drivers, make sure it's activated, and that you have definitely restarted (the restart isn't optional, the driver -will not- be active without restarting) [00:05] Flomaster: Don't know anything off hand... will look around for you [00:05] KrisDouglas: read the help file? [00:05] sudo apt-get install tucan ????????? [00:05] One sec, uploading screenie [00:05] sylbot, no nvidia prop driver is running.. you run on nouveau drivers [00:05] I was curious what the Dmesg output in Ubuntu means when it mentions "booting paravirtualized kernel on bair hardware?" [00:05] I am doing :) [00:05] wheres a irc tutorial or guide please [00:05] Flomaster, yeah [00:05] http://yfrog.com/0pdriverip [00:06] can you change the style of the windows_key+tab feature in 10.04?

[00:07] kostkon: thanks man I tried KDE KGet I didn't care for it I wasn't able to copy and paste all 40 links at once [00:07] Flomaster: sounds good [00:07] KalEl: just re-login [00:07] gelacacine: thx [00:07] did you guys see the screenshot, it says that the drivers are installed and activated [00:07] what is neovue drivers [00:07] Flomaster, np [00:08] Guys / sylbot: This isn't to advertise it, but could you use something like http://www.burn-blue.com for images/pastes? Some of the services you're all using are dire, especially that yfrog sylbot just used =-\ [00:08] I understand that OpenVZ support has been long since removed from Ubuntu since after Ubuntu 8.04, but word around says it was being replaced with LXC. Does Ubuntu 10.04 have LXC support to run LXC containers? [00:08] !screenshot | BrianE [00:08] BrianE: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem?

[00:12] http://pastebin.com/usP96WWc [00:12] this is quite strange - fstab has no mention of the mount points offered at Places menu. is fstab obsolete now? how do i ensure other users do not read/write to these partitions? [00:12] Flannel: ok [00:12] uh oh, partitioning. [00:12] I'm curous if #Ubuntu frequently gets spammers? I once got a random DCC request when someone attempted to send something to port 0 when I logged in with mIRC on Windows once. [00:12] i have come to the conclusion that Smuxi irc client is not very good [00:12] * KrisDouglas is switching to Xchat [00:12] ChrisDouglas: Try the pidgon program. [00:13] It has a nice IRC interface. [00:13] KrisDouglas: ironically, I have just done the opposite [00:13] and multi protocol support [00:13] can someone tell me an easy user friendly firwall program for ubuntu 10.04 [00:13] Try Ufw [00:13] KrisDouglas: Use 'xchat', not 'xchat-gnome' - It's much cleaner IMO [00:13] yahshua: gufw is pretty good [00:13] xchat-gnome is contaminated i concur [00:13] yahshua: I liked Firestarter [00:13] how do i restart the x server [00:13] acperkins I find the lack of features, which I use regularly annoying [00:14] and thanks briane, i am installing the full xchat [00:14] jordan_u briane i am completly novice to this [00:14] which one [00:14] and can u step me through [00:14] yahshua, firestarter is pretty easy to use [00:14] true, don't see the point of xchat-gnome - even the documentation says that though all configs are present in the file, they have been removed from ui to create xchat-gnome! [00:14] Firestarter is nice, simple and clean :) [00:14] Keith-BlindUser: I get WARNING: /dev/sda1 is block device, but you are not root and ntfsmount is not set-uid-root, so using 'blkdev' option is not possible. This is not recommended. [00:14] Access is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. [00:14] The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which [00:14] could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. [00:14] You can use force option to avoid this check, but this is not recommended [00:14] gelacacine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:14] and may lead to data corruption. [00:14] I think that firewalls are a subjective disscussion. What works for one might not work for another, etc. [00:14] KrisDouglas: which features did you find were missing? today is my first using it so I would be interested in what you felt was lacking. [00:15] acperkins, hiding the join/quit messages, file xfer [00:15] bithunter how do i get and install firestarter [00:15] Keith-BlindUser: Are you really blind? And using IRC? Kudos if you are [00:15] Yep. [00:15] Blind as a bat. [00:15] No trouble using iRC> [00:15] Keith-BlindUser: Screenreader? [00:15] Brail translator USB connection [00:15] I'm a pretty good touch-typest, actually. It doesn't mean that I"m perfect, but I do know how ot type despite not having vision. I've ever got Ubuntu talking with Orca. [00:16] Woops.. :) I meant to. :D [00:16] Keith-BlindUser: Much respect, that's rather... admirable, in an odd way [00:16] On a windows machine presently, but yes I'm still able to use Linux. The only problem with Ubuntu apps and the Orca screen reader/magnifyer, is that the applications must be written in GTK. [00:16] yahshua, sudo apt-get install firestarter [00:17] Wohoo flash crashed X! [00:17] How do I restart the X server [00:17] weird ... I am running streamtuner and use shoutcast .... now it is not loading any streams.....what could have changed/can fix this .... hmm [00:17] Ctrl Alt Backspace sylbot [00:17] So if firestarter for isntance, or SKype, or other QT3 apps come into play with Orca, QT3 is badly inaccessible to the blind. [00:17] kostkon: I have it installed, but where I input my megaupload info i have my user name, my password, and an enable spot all need to be filled out i am not sure what to type in the enable spot [00:17] IamReck: That was disabled by default in Ubuntu 10.04 [00:17] Righto, transfer complete, back to familiar ground :) [00:17] IamReck / sylbot: Don't use CTRL+ALT+Backspace, use ALT+PrintScr+k [00:17] BrianE, really? Coincidently I'm upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 tonight. [00:17] KalEl: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205862 [00:17] BrianE- what's the difference? [00:17] BrianE, does that work on 9.10 also? [00:18] IamReck: Mm, there's some package that re-enables it, but it's disabled by default [00:18] There is no difference, IIRC, both restart X [00:18] oh [00:18] Anyone out there using a Dell XPS m1330 with 10.04 and Windows 7 Dual Booting? [00:18] Flomaster, view → prefs → service configuration, select the megaupload plugin and then press the info button [00:18] I'm curious how you sighted folks hear in #Ubuntu manage to keep up with the trafic on IRC? TO me it's loads of speech messages. Somebuddy has quit IRC, this person has joineed #Ubuntu, etc. [00:18] iamreck, I am single booting a 1530 [00:19] but at the moment using my work machine- Acer Ferrari One [00:19] kostkon: i got it working i am connected to my MU Premium account [00:19] Gnome must have a nice color theme, but being blind I cannot appreciate the visuals. :) [00:19] Hello whats a command to remove .example extention from all files in one folder? [00:19] KrisDouglas, more worried about Dual Booting it, heard murmurs of some issues. [00:19] Keith-BlindUser, which client? you can shut that off [00:19] Keith-BlindUser: You quickly adapt to filtering through the text for what's relevant / important, it's not as difficult as you'd imagine :) [00:19] rm *.example [00:19] IamReck, when i was dualbooting, it was flawless [00:19] Thanks, KrisDouglas [00:19] Keith-BlindUser: Have you always been blind? [00:19] Yep [00:19] man I searched all over google looking for suck a program and didn't see any links pointing to Tucan [00:20] Actually [00:20] That sucks :-\ [00:20] the only reason I am not dualing is because 10.04 is perfect for me, dont need windows now [00:20] bithunter can u tell me an anti-spyware [00:20] thanks connermcd. i remember it was not like that with the previous version of ubuntu. i will try to create the fstab on my own and see if it's working. i don't quite like the idea of mount points magically working for a normal user with no mention at fstab... [00:20] Suck a program, eh? ;) [00:20] Flomaster, :) [00:20] The most accesible client I have found for the Orca screen reading program under Ubuntu is the Pidgon client. I'm using a accessible modified Ubuntu Lucid project called VInux. Have you folks heard of that project? [00:20] KrisDouglas, I'm considering single booting, but occasionally i need Windows 7 for things I can't do in a VM. [00:20] yahshua: I don't really like to say this, but Ubuntu isn't like Windows -- You won't need an "anti-Spyware" application, nor an antivirus, nor a firewall for the usage you're thinking of [00:20] IamReck, yeah i was the same :) [00:20] * Flomaster gives kostkon a ice cold beer [00:20] KalEl: I agree, but I suppose it makes sense... If someone has physical access to your machine they can get to the partitions one way or anothers (live USB) [00:21] !language | Psi-Jack [00:21] Psi-Jack: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:21] IamReck - but all-in-all it does work perfectly with 9.10 and 10.04 :) [00:21] Flomaster, thanx! [00:21] hiexpo: Hey, he said it! :) [00:21] Vinux, google for it. You'll like it. It's intended to make Ubuntu a bit more accessible to people with visual impairments. :) [00:21] well why do some linux platforms come with anti spyware installed like pclinux os [00:21] And specific tweeks not available in Ubuntu by default such as Orca automatically coming up, where as the user must make it do so in Ubuntu, etc. [00:22] yahshua: as it stands, you really don't need an AV program, but if you want to protect your windows-using friends that are not necessarily as bright as they should be when it comes to opening files, you can...just to make sure you dont send them anything bad [00:22] KrisDouglas, Thanks! Just debating whether or not to do the upgrade tonight, and whether or not to reformat my /home directory and bring it up to shiny new ext4 in stead of ext2 [00:22] Wait.. [00:22] Err, well, Flomaster did anyway. heh [00:22] Your using ext2! Isn't that a slow file system? [00:22] IamReck: You're still using Ext2?! Format it with Ext4, it's shiny and has cookies :-P [00:22] ALl I have to say about that is Youch. [00:22] and if i accidentaly give permission to a prgram to run it could be spyware [00:22] In the early days I was having EXT4 issues, but now, it is working more than perfectly. All my NAS's at work work perfectly too [00:22] KalEl: NTFS partitions can have a password ON THE PARTITION, but externally there's not a lot of purpose in forbidding users access [00:22] highly, highly recommend ext4 [00:22] Psi-Jack: say what? [00:23] IamReck: definitely bring it up to Ext4, it might not really work with Ext2 and 10.04. at least not well [00:23] Nas, isn't that network staorage file system or something? [00:23] and i have one more question what is the checkdsk command [00:23] storage* [00:23] >:D [00:23] KalEl: My windows partition has a password on startup so when I mount it in Ubuntu it requires it [00:23] >:( [00:23] e.e [00:23] I believe check file system? [00:23] :'( [00:23] :) [00:23] Jamaun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:23] Flomaster: Nevermind. You had a pretty odd typo earlier. ;) [00:23] Network attached storage, yep [00:23] x_x [00:23] BrianE, Keith-BlindUser, was waiting for Ext4 to stabalize, but wanted to do a fresh format on the partition and not upgrade the filesystem, know what i mean? [00:23] yahshua - if you give it permission to run *as root* -- which you should never do unless you know for a FACT what the program is/does [00:23] all my NAS boxes run Ubuntu 10.04 server [00:23] um... [00:23] !enter | krisdouglas [00:23] krisdouglas: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:23] IamReck: Yes, but Ext3 has been stable for years, no? [00:23] I'm using ext4, not a bug. [00:23] I can't find any stability issues. [00:24] same with me, EXT4 PWNS [00:24] ROFL @ SUCK typo Psi-Jack [00:24] Sorry, I am actually knocking the enter button :) [00:24] It includes a defragmentation feature, I think.

[00:29] connermcd, i have windows xp and windows 7 [00:29] ubutom: Well that's why I was asking for someone who thinks if it is a good deal or not. I read that the price was $599 lol [00:29] CaptainTrek, sum of all my programs reports as 400mib~ cache is reported to be 100mib big currently. gnome sysmonitor is reporting 1GB total in use? [00:29] KalEl: Under System -> Administration -> Users & Groups, select your user and then 'Advanced'... Under 'Permissions', is the 'Mount devices' option checked? [00:29] That way people aren't disconnected. [00:29] sylbot, just try to delete the xorg.conf [00:30] netsurf3: no ideas about as to why, srry [00:30] !captainobvious bastid_raZor [00:30] barqs500: please keep the conversation to Ubuntu Support...if you have another discussion, feel free to carry it on in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:30] KalEl: Hmmm my Windows 7 partition required a password... not sure why it doesn't for you... Here's a bit of third-party you might try: http://disk-password-protection.software.informer.com/4.9/ [00:30] barqs500, please try in ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [00:30] BrianE, i have to check that when i log in to windows, but since mine is admin account it is likely to be checked i suppose [00:30] No, under Ubuntu [00:30] SlidingHorn: Well I was asking if it was a good deal for using it as an ubuntu laptop, but okay, I'll try there, thank you :) [00:30] bazhang: Okay I will try there :) [00:31] That's the only way you -wouldn't- be prompted for a password when mounting a partition [00:31] connermcd, i use truecrypt for sensitive data :) [00:31] KalEl: Or BrianE's solution but then other users won't be able to mount other devices [00:31] barqs500: as far as that goes, it appears to be fine for that use [00:31] SlidingHorn: Okay tyvm! [00:31] who know waht to do [00:31] some problem with x server [00:32] sylbot: you'll need to be more specific...and try to keep it to one entry...dont use enter as punctuation [00:32] when i try to mount my windows partition from terminal, all i find is a folder called system volume information [00:32] connermcd, BrianE, i think based on the link that connermcd sent - probably if i create the fstab entries myself, and don't grant everyone permission, then nautilus will not auto mount them. i will have to experiment this once i wake up... it's 5am - i will hit the bed [00:32] thanks :) [00:33] KalEl: No prob - good night [00:33] i have a question about the following example command [00:33] growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/burner=kfc-gamex.iso [00:33] gabrielht44: Hola, hay que hablar ingles en este canal, pero... [00:33] !spanish | gabrielht44 [00:33] gabrielht44: 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. [00:33] the particular thing i'm interested in knowing is break:1913760 [00:33] using 1004, in opening my home drive, it seems to take longer and longer to list the files and directories, is this indicative of an unhealthy hdd? [00:33] is there a program that lets me specify that? or is that the default? or can i make a .dvd file with that value along with iso to have it taken care of? [00:33] !enter | kr3w [00:33] kr3w: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:34] SlidingHorn: that was 1 line [00:35] no answer ... okay [00:35] kr3w: but you posted 4 lines -- not trying to be an IRC nazi...just trying to make sure everyone's requests stay on screen long enough to be seen [00:36] the 4 lines consisted of statement, information, interest and finally question [00:36] SlidingHorn: the flood bots do a pretty good job of telling off people who are actually flooding. [00:36] gelacacine, that's fine, then it is probably an empty partition [00:36] yah [00:36] gelacacine, try creating a folder on it [00:37] When I joined, I asked about a bug I've been having with selecting files from a GTK file select dialog... [00:37] ubutom, it isn't an empty partition, because it was the partition i was using for two years [00:37] Found a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/558674 [00:37] rascal999, mounting a drive, or opening your home folder? [00:37] gelacacine, system volume information is usually found on blank partitions [00:38] gelacacine, are you sure you mounted the right one? === nuboon2age_ is now known as nUboon2Age [00:38] durt: opening home with nautilus [00:38] Anyone know why it's merely 'Low', and is still 'Unassigned' after more than 2 months? It's a moderate security issue, IMO, it's frequently caused me to upload the wrong file (including sensitive files, once or twice) [00:38] lucid bug hmmmmmmmmmm never ever heaed of that [00:38] ubutom: system volume information can also be found on win drives which don't have an OS install [00:38] but, we've determined it's a nautilus issue because ls is relatively instant [00:39] kr3w, that'S what I said, an empty partition or drive [00:39] ubutom, yes, rather, i only have 3 partitions, (that one was /dev/sda1 which was my large windows partition), /dev/sda2 is too small to be the partition, and sda3 is linux (according to f-disk) [00:39] rascal999, if there's a large number of small files in it then yes it will take a long time, are you running anything writing a large numer of files to that dir? [00:39] gelacacine, your windows partition should be /dev/sda1/ [00:39] ubutom: if there is data but no OS, you treat that as empty? [00:39] maybe i am safe on karmic :) [00:39] kr3w: in looking at the manpage for growisofs, there is a section that explains where to look for such answers. Have you looked at the source code? [00:40] durt: looks like it's the thumbs for the avi's in my home that's causing the slow down [00:40] Gnea: no because i wouldn't understand it [00:40] kr3w, if you consider system volume information as data... [00:40] kr3w: right, because comments written in english explain nothing... [00:40] rascal999, thats a rational reason then. [00:40] kr3w, does that mean my windows partition no longer has windows installed? [00:41] Hello. ubuntu Karmic here. I've read that I can use archive manager to open (not to install via wine) exe files to a directory but I can't do. Is there a way for it? [00:41] gelacacine: whaaa? no [00:41] rascal999, esp. if the files are not particaularly in good shape. (parts of video etc.) [00:41] Gnea: have a link for me/ [00:41] marenostrum, isn't that just .cab files? [00:41] !growisofs [00:41] marenostrum: the .exe file has to be an automatic zip [00:42] marenostrum, or winzip [00:42] kr3w: just install the source for growisofs [00:42] !source [00:42] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [00:42] Is there a good way to do a "diskless install" of ubuntu onto nfs, then boot from it? I'm currently booting gentoo in this manner for my media center, but would like to move to ubuntu, any suggestions? [00:42] kr3w: then what do you mean by no OS? [00:43] !diskless [00:43] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [00:43] Gnea: will it help me find a burning program that lets me specify break value explicitly? that's really what i'm after [00:43] marenostrum, what u mean? [00:43] kr3w: it might, it might not. it might explain what the break value is all about... [00:43] Gnea: i know what the break value is about, my original question is about software [00:44] kr3w: again, it might, it might not. [00:44] hi Gnea [00:44] hiexpo: hello [00:44] hiexpo: To uncompress an exe file (those windows things) to a directory to see what in it. [00:44] Gnea: ...k zero help, thanks though [00:44] marenostrum, u have wine? [00:44] marenostrum, you can only do that with self extracting archives [00:44] Gnea: Yeah, I can boot the installer media via pxe easily, but it's actually installing it to a nfs mount that's the issue [00:45] marenostrum, what KrisDouglas said [00:45] CIDR, LTSP can generate such files, can it not? [00:45] hiexpo: yes, but I don't like to use it. Someone says its possible to uncompress without wine. [00:45] such shares, rather* [00:46] kr3w: zero help? at least you know where the answer is NOT now. [00:46] hufx has arrived! [00:46] KrisDouglas: Thank you [00:46] marenostrum, what, specifically, are you trying to extract? [00:46] Gnea: lol ... :) [00:46] * Gnea thwacks kr3w upside the head with a technical support manual [00:46] connermcd: Thans a lot [00:46] greets all [00:46] marenostrum, remember an exe file is a windows file not linux [00:46] Gnea: what do i do with a support manual? i need a product catalogue! [00:46] i am a new guy - long time windows fan - interested in linux [00:46] does anyone knows what "{!var}" stands for? [00:46] hiexpo: Sure they are [00:46] marenostrum: I heard a lot of self-extracting EXE were made with winzip, and some linux zip program can recognize and extract them. [00:47] is it for reference to the name of the variable [00:47] any chance i can just quickly talk to someone about ubuntu server edition [00:47] instead of its contents? [00:47] CIDR: haven't done NFS in awhile, so not sure [00:47] sabqat9: Just ask the question here [00:47] how can i play crysis on ubuntu [00:47] sabqat9, sure, just ask [00:47] KrisDouglas: I'm looking into it [00:48] i haven't done anything yet - i am just considering installing ubuntu server - is it easy for someone new to ubuntu [00:48] genoskill, though, through wine this may be possible, it is unlikely it will work well. [00:48] yes u can extract an exe file with linux but does not mean it is compatiable with linux we can zip nything the way we want it [00:48] hi all. how do i enable American English? I'm sick of my spellchecker telling me to type "analyse" instead of "analyze!" [00:48] kr3w: the idea is that the amount of force generated by the book hitting your skull will cause just the right amount of shockwaves in your brain to kick that attitude of yours out ;) [00:48] anything [00:48] <_2> system > admin > disk* fails to do anything for me. and places > * doesn't list two of my drives. ??? [00:48] doleyb: Thank you [00:48] hdon: In your browser? or OpenOffice? Or what [00:49] genoskill, apparently, anything past the introduction sequence causes it to crash, when running crysis. [00:49] kr3w: however, have you checked out tkdvd or qisoburn? [00:49] hello gys, sorry for disturbing, i am trying to accomplish a project, a file storage system like rapidshare . what clustering open source software do you recommend me ? so i can setup my private cloud ? otherwise, i have to store files distributed to servers but those servers wont be able to handle huge traffic. so i need to make it clustered. [00:49] sabqat9: It's as easy as it gets... but one shall always run into trouble... :) [00:50] sabqat9: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx-ispconfig-2 [00:50] <_2> howto enable ctrl+alt+bkspace == killall Xorg ? [00:50] !dontzap | _2 [00:50] _2: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [00:50] KrisDouglas: is that a wine problem? [00:50] _2: That, or just use ALT+PrintScreen+k instead [00:50] kr3w: not sure if either of those will do it, but I have to run for now. good luck. [00:50] Hi, (vsftpd), where does anonymous user arrive if I didn't specify anything ? [00:50] sabqat9: it uses a text-based installer but the options are simple enough. as long as you are comfortable using the command line then you should have no issues. [00:50] howdy folks. I'm here -> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and see 64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage What's the deal there? [00:50] Gnea: yeah neither helps, thanks though [00:50] hello gys, sorry for disturbing, i am trying to accomplish a project, a file storage system like rapidshare . what clustering open source software do you recommend me ? so i can setup my private cloud ? otherwise, i have to store files distributed to servers but those servers wont be able to handle huge traffic. so i need to make it clustered. [00:51] I have a quad core 64bit with 16gb of ram. Why would I not want to run 64bit? [00:51] sdfoj8, why not use an ftp ? [00:51] genoskill, yes it is, sadly [00:51] ftp ? it wont work [00:51] Should I even care? I've used LInux for years..just not ubuntu [00:52] meroekush: It's just a weak recommendation. You can use 64bit. I have 64bit on my machine, my laptop, my htpc. [00:52] meroekush: you should use 64-bit. The language on the download page sucks and needs changing. [00:52] meroekush: i use 64bit and have for 6+months now.. not sure why they state that.. possibly since 64bit flash is sketchy for most [00:52] meroekush: it's just referring to the average know-nothing user [00:52] red2kic I thought so..never saw that type of message before for ubuntu [00:52] meroekush: Also, it's geared toward new ubuntu and from-windows-background users. [00:52] okay good deal...it did get my attention..I started with slack back in oh..96 or so [00:53] back when you would download it onto floppys [00:53] Jordan_U: I got it [00:54] Jordan_U: Now when this kernel update completes am I going to have to reconfigure my grub file? And reinstall the drivers? [00:54] hi [00:55] hi guys [00:55] does any one know anything about setting up/configuring wireless connections in Lucid? [00:55] i need some help on my ATI driver, i tried to install the proprietary and blown the hole thing up! [00:56] PhoenixSTF that sounds bad. i hope you get help [00:56] hello gys, sorry for disturbing, i am trying to accomplish a project, a file storage system like rapidshare . what clustering open source software do you recommend me ? so i can setup my private cloud ? otherwise, i have to store files distributed to servers but those servers wont be able to handle huge traffic. so i need to make it clustered. [00:56] soadkombucha: grub will add the new kernel automatically, and the drivers for you video card? [00:56] real bad i cant even reinstall the old one [00:56] bastid_raZor: I haven't installed video card drivers yet.. I manually installed WiFi drivers [00:56] bastid_raZor: Realtek's proprietary Wireless LAN Drivers [00:56] PhoenixSTF keep asking if no one helps right away [00:57] soadkombucha: yes, any driver you install manually will need to be reinstalled on kernel changes [00:57] ok guys the problem is this one: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.723.1-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:57] bastid_raZor: Oh joy. That means reinstalling wireless drivers. Thanfully I saved the drivers in /etc/src. And I still have the tutorial saved as HTML. === SuP|Lobby is now known as lousyplayer [00:58] bastid_raZor: At least now I know I can do it though. That's definitely a plus in my book. [00:58] Cheese doesn't work anymore, It worked in 9.03 but when I upgraded to 10.04 it stopped working, any ideas? [00:58] anyone know what gam_server is? [00:59] greetings [00:59] Moral_ third party camera drivers? [00:59] today i installed Lucid and everything went fine but when i started it up i could not connect to the internet....the wireless icon showed the local wireless networks , i clicked on mine and a WPA & WPA2 password window popped up...what password does it want? [00:59] soadkombucha: true, good luck :) [00:59] so then is it just not possible to run a windows xp instance in vmware with a cpu that does not support PAE? [00:59] siddhion: The wireless network key. The same as the one you enter on windows. [00:59] siddhion the password you configured in your router (hopefully you did) [00:59] bastid_raZor: I'm excited I got it running... Will I have to readd acpi=off to grub? [00:59] eross: it's used to tell applications if a file has been changed or not. [01:00] connermcd, I hadn't installed any in 9.04. lsusb see's the camera and I don't see anything in lsmod related to my camera. === DeliriumTennis is now known as DeliriumTremens [01:00] ah [01:00] soadkombucha: where did you add it? in /etc/default/grub ? [01:00] hello gys, sorry for disturbing, i am trying to accomplish a project, a file storage system like rapidshare . what clustering open source software do you recommend me ? so i can setup my private cloud ? otherwise, i have to store files distributed to servers but those servers wont be able to handle huge traffic. so i need to make it clustered. [01:00] bastid_raZor: Yeah [01:00] or can you refer me a channel ? [01:00] soadkombucha: that will be picked up automatically when grub updates. [01:00] bastid_raZor: OK. [01:01] bastid_raZor: that was the thing preventing me from booting into linux in the first place... For some reason today it decided it wanted to allow me to do it from the CD [01:01] mobius2, PAE is only needed if you use a 32Bit OS and have more than 4 GB RAM [01:01] Moral_ So the camera is external then? [01:01] Moral_ What kind of camera is it [01:01] soadkombucha & meroekush ... ok i never had to enter a Wireless Network Key in windows. and I never configured a passowrd in my router. I got my router from my local ISP but they never gave me a password associated with it [01:02] connermcd, internal, Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b027 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Gateway USB 2.0 Webcam [01:02] when running nvidia-settings i see a message tells me to run nvidia-xconfig. where do i find that?

I don't know then [01:05] !find nvidia-xconfig [01:05] ubutom i dont think so ... i cant even connect to it ... also it has a key icon next to it meaning it requires some kind of key (wireless network key?)

[01:22] #lopsa is the fullest sdfoj8 [01:22] I am having a graphics driver issue [01:23] hi guys [01:23] system won't start in anything but graphics safe mod [01:23] need some help with some windows media player 8 codecs if anyone could? [01:23] I installed 10.04 recently and rhythmbox keeps complaining it can't find these codecs :( [01:24] Fongy: medibuntu.org should have all the info you need [01:24] Fongy, win3codecs? from medibuntu.org ? [01:24] err Fongy win32codecs [01:24] just win3 or the win32 codecs? [01:24] i was going to say [01:24] i have installed those :( [01:24] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE] [01:24] Fongy and you're running a 32-bit version of Lucid? [01:25] Fongy, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [01:25] anyone have idea, how to fix the system alert sound with compiz ? it seem if i am using compiz i made some of the sound disappear, but metacity work prefect with the sound theme. [01:25] sure am :) [01:25] Kris: yea [01:25] Fongy, try ubutom's suggestion of ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:25] would 64 bit matter in this situation though? [01:25] Fongy: yes. [01:25] I constantly have to keep pluggng it in and unplugging it [01:25] yet it works perfectly on my PC [01:25] hoonteke - it was the first thing i installed. [01:26] Hey, I just did a clean install of v10.04 and am only able to get the installer and the live CD to run using the noapic and acpi=off options. However, GRUB 2 didn't save those options. I tried to manually edit /etc/default/grub and added those options but it didn't seem to affect anything. I'm not sure how to run the "update-grub" from the Live CD to affect my installed partition [01:26] i sometimes goto www.movie-links.tv and for some reason lately, well since ive gotten my internet back when i click on one of the links under a movie it seems 2 do nothing, if i middle click it opens the same page in a new browser, any ideas ? === taroven is now known as Taroven|Grr [01:26] hoonteke : i have installed restricted-extras etc === Taroven|Grr is now known as Taroven|Rawr [01:26] i have an old system 1.8ghz with 768 ram - should i use 32 bit or 64 for ubuntu server [01:26] Fongy: specifics are important [01:26] restricted-extras ... which [01:26] hoonteke - my apologies [01:26] Fongy: ubuntu-restricted-extras? [01:26] sabqat9: I would go with 32 bit [01:26] ^^ [01:26] that one mate === Taroven|Rawr is now known as taroven|Connecti [01:27] sabqat9, if that sys supports 64bit you may want to use it, but it prob dont === taroven|Connecti is now known as taroven [01:27] <_2> kmullins maybe a command like chroot /media/sda1 update-grub ? [01:27] Fongy: and I don't see why it'd matter, but have you restarted? [01:27] yep hoonteke - i reboot regularly [01:27] can anyone tell me how to unlock a vista partition to resize in g-parted [01:27] !grub2 | kmullins [01:27] kmullins: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:28] Fongy: well, you shouldn't have to. If you do *need* to reboot, that's not a credit to Ubuntu's stability. [01:28] sabqat9, you can'T use 64 bit if the processor doesn't support it [01:28] Fongy: next thing you might do is look through System->Administration->Synaptic. Look for gstreamer and mp3 [01:28] Hi all. I'm running ubuntu server 9.01 (x64), and for some reason, whenever I use apt-get or aptitude to install packages, I get numerous errors that look like this: http://pastie.org/1002182 How can I get rid of this? There must be a way. [01:28] hoonteke - the reason for my rebootings is nothing to do with ubuntu - i have a bad heat sync in my laptop :( [01:28] Fongy: I always forget, but it's gstreamer and ... ugly or bad plaugins. I'm not sure. [01:28] Dmstrdj: Is is been seen as read only? [01:28] b14ck: There is no 9.01 [01:28] i don't like to keep it on overnight [01:28] wildbat: I tried that out but didn't have any luck finding info on modifying and updating grub2 from the CD as opposed to from the loaded operating system itself [01:28] it is an old system - i bought in 2003 - processor is an amd xp2200 @ 1.8ghz [01:28] I meant, 9.10 [01:28] typo [01:28] Fongy: does your suspend not work? [01:29] _2: I'll give that a try [01:29] is that what the warning sign means [01:29] anyone have idea, how to fix the system alert sound with compiz ? it seem if i am using compiz i made some of the sound disappear(e.g. backspace while the inputbox is empty), but metacity work prefect with the sound theme. [01:29] Fongy: I know that suspend is sketchy across laptops, due to a number of factors === lousyplayer is now known as SuP|Lobby [01:29] <_2> kmullins https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:29] i want to install ubuntu beside windows but having issues [01:29] yeah - i havent had a chance to play with that yet hoonteke - i had to fresh install etc and with uni assignments/work etc [01:29] Dmstrdj, what r the issues? [01:29] not enough time to have a fiddle [01:30] what packages do i need to support GeForce 6200? [01:30] oren: Ubuntu should detect it automatically via System->Adminisration->Hardware Drivers [01:30] ei [01:30] hoonteke: correct but i use ubuntu without gnome. [01:30] Yeah I checked out that WIKI already. It says I Have to run update-grub but when I try to run it from the Live CD, I get an error saying grub can not be found [01:31] Zelozelos its just that i cant get gparted to unlock the windows part [01:31] hoonteke: so i can't access system -> bla bla [01:31] oren: what flavor are desktop then? [01:31] <_2> "disks failed to launch child process disks-admin (permission denied)" [01:31] <_2> anyone ? ^ [01:31] kmullins, you just need to mount the drive and edit the drive grub file not the LiveCD one ~ and do update as if it said in Installing grub2 from LiveCD [01:31] _2: try using sudo [01:31] hoonteke: lxde [01:31] <_2> CaptainTrek from the menu ? [01:31] Dmstrdj, is there enough space? and are you manually config the partitions or letting the installer do its thing? [01:31] oren: i'm running lxde but didnt catch your question...what's up? [01:31] hoonteke: it might be as simple as nvidia-170 or something similar. [01:31] <_2> CaptainTrek or do you know the command it called ? [01:31] ubuntu only allows me to erase or manually config [01:32] i tried that [01:32] oren: I think the command-line version is jockey- [01:32] wildbat: Ahh I think I see the section now ... "Recoverying grub 2 from CD"? [01:32] oren: jockey-text, maybe? [01:32] wildbat: Thanks [01:32] SlidingHorn: i have geforce 6200 and looking for the correct nvidia packages. [01:32] Zelozelos: sounds like it read only [01:32] kmullins, good luck [01:32] oren, try 'sudo jockey-gtk' or 'sudo jockey-text' [01:32] hoonteke: ubutom ok. let me trry [01:32] _2: you could always make a temporary launcher onto the desktop or somewhere and prepend "gksudo" in front of the command to run it. [01:32] oren: pretty sure that lxde uses the same hardware driver program -- only it's under preferences [01:32] oren: well, you *could* go download the drivers direct from nvidia, but I suggest sticking with the ubuntu scripts for installation [01:33] I just reinstalled Windows XP on my Windows partition and now GRUB bootloader is gone? How can I boot into Ubuntu again? [01:33] <_2> CaptainTrek heh. yeah i guess [01:33] Zelozelos i tried to install normally and the pc has starter 7 with separate vista part [01:33] I have a question everyone why does it take so long after entering your password until the icons appear on the screen in 10.04 and why is cups so broken? === kmullins is now known as kurtis [01:33] Mrcheesenips: Windows thinks it's the only OS that matters and overwrites what is known as "the boot partition" [01:33] Sirisian|Work: correct, but it tells me 'no propriatery drivers are in use' [01:33] SlidingHorn: ^^ [01:33] well there is the slight problem - its got windows written on it [01:34] Mrcheesenips: There's a page on how to fix that ... let me see if I can find that ... [01:34] !grub2 | Mrcheesenips [01:34] Mrcheesenips: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [01:34] ok thanks [01:34] I have a question everyone why does it take so long after entering your password until the icons appear on the screen in 10.04 and why is cups so broken? [01:34] Mrcheesenips: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [01:34] Jason @brainbrain : I think he has a few pages stuck together:P [01:34] Thank you hoonteke [01:35] trying to dual boot and the installer cant make it past the partion sizing [01:35] <_2> CaptainTrek still fails to launch, only no error message at all [01:35] Dmstrdj, you will need some advanced partition settings then, but im not knowledgeable enough to help w that, do you have plenty of free space within both partitions, if so try and srink one of thme, grow the other, then split the enlarged one for ubuntu...good luck w that all OH and dont forget to defrag n everything 1st [01:35] _2: then i dont know what's going on, sorry. [01:35] Dmstrdj: it's my guess that Vista didn't clean up after itself on a boot or to. You may be able to boot to Vista, schedule a disk check of some kind, reboot *again*, then shut down after it's done it's business [01:36] <_2> CaptainTrek i think i know. gksu/do uses user name "root" doesn't it ? [01:36] Dmstrdj: at that point, I have a hunch the Ubuntu installer will have better luck, [01:36] hoonteke: ubutom ok. jockey-gtk told me 'no proprietry drivers are in use' [01:36] does anyone know what I need to do with media tomb to get it to play tunes on my ps3? [01:36] _2: it SHOULD. [01:36] my ps3 finds my machine fine - it just has a star next to every tune i try to play [01:36] then when trying to play it just doesn't it all. [01:36] Dmstrdj, however i havent heard of anyone tripplebooting w vista, 7 and ubuntu....kinda cool if it works good luck [01:36] <_2> CaptainTrek that's the problem. it should use user id "0" not user name "root" [01:37] Zelozelos: I do. Works just find [01:37] <_2> CaptainTrek user name root is not uid 0 on any of my systems [01:37] i have plenty of space its locking the ubuntu installer up [01:37] hoonteke, maybe you can help him out then ;) [01:37] oren, hm, does it let you choose some? [01:37] ubutom: no [01:37] oren: and did it find any drivers to automatically install? If not, it's my guess that jockey-gtk doesn't know how to do it. If that's the case, you may have to go download the linux driver direct from nvidia's website [01:37] and trying gparted now but stil locked [01:38] Dmstrdj, so it freeze up? [01:38] oren: it's not a hard process, but you'll have to run the shell script from one of your TTY terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F1) should get you there [01:38] its not really triple [01:38] oren, hm, no man-page for jockey, weird [01:38] oren: to get back to the normal graphics screen, use Ctrl+Alt+F7 [01:38] <_2> CaptainTrek that's it. guest@dell:~$ sudo id [01:38] or F8 or F9 [01:38] <_2> uid=1003(root) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) [01:38] wildbat: That worked great. Thanks [01:38] Dmstrdj, try gparted and restart before actual install [01:38] its windows starter 7 and thats how it came from factory [01:38] anybody have any knowledge with mediatomb and ps3? [01:38] How do I use Firefox in safe mode or where is About:config so I can reset it? [01:38] kurtis, ^^ [01:38] Howdy ya'll [01:39] hoonteke: sure. don't u think i simply need nvidia-current or -170 or something like this? [01:39] sam_fisher: just type about:config into your address bar in FF [01:39] oren: I don't know. I haven't installed that way in Ubuntu before [01:39] trying gparted now and the partition is loced [01:39] oren: I've either done ubuntu's way, or the shell script way I'm suggesting now. [01:39] Sam_Fisher: ho sam sam the fisher man! [01:39] wildbat: Any suggestions on a Wiki or other document for setting up my Laptop's internal wifi or should I just google it? [01:39] sdfoj8, please never write "gys" again [01:39] kurtis: one sec [01:39] hufx, please stay on topic [01:39] !Wireless | kurtis [01:39] kurtis: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:40] hoonteke: ok. i'll do the shell script. what commands should i run in tty? [01:40] zkriesse: Thanks [01:40] Sam_Fisher: if you don't mind the command line you can open up a terminal and type this: at the prompt 'firefox -safe-mode' (withoug the quotes of course) [01:40] kurtis: :D [01:40] oren: no commands [01:40] oren: but first, go find the correct linux driver from nvidia's website [01:40] kurtis, what you problem you got from the wifi ? ~ [01:40] wildbat, i am trying gparted but the partition is locked [01:40] oren: it will come in the form of a shell script [01:40] bazhang: whats that about? [01:40] hoonteke: ok, thanks [01:40] oren: which , when you get to the terminal [01:40] hoonteke: and then do it from tty [01:40] oren: you will need to make executable: chmod +x the_shell_script.sh [01:41] oren: then run it with "./the_shell_script.sh" [01:41] wildbat: I'm assuming it didn't automagically set my adapter up correctly. No networks are showing up and it just endlessly tries to join when I do it manually [01:41] hoonteke: np [01:41] Dmstrdj, umount ALL the partition be4 install ? [01:41] oren: note: you'll need to be root [01:41] hufx, offtopic chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here [01:41] hoonteke: got it, thank you! [01:41] oren: and you'll need to shut gdm off first with: sudo service gdm stop [01:41] Thanks hoonteke! I live for the terminal! [01:41] oh ok [01:41] I'm a terminal man hahaha [01:41] hoonteke: ok [01:41] off-topic? where? [01:41] thanks wildbat [01:41] oren: to start it gdm again, after you've install the script [01:41] oren: sudo service gdm start [01:42] hoonteke: sweet [01:42] kurtis, so the wifi can't scan any network on the air? [01:42] wildbat: As far as I can tell, that's correct [01:42] http://bash.org/?454203 [01:42] Dmstrdj, youre weelcome [01:42] hoonteke: so first go to tty, than shut gdm [01:42] oren: correct [01:42] oren: note [01:43] wildbat, i cant unmount that part [01:43] oren: I'd suggest you stick with using sudo [01:43] hoonteke: and run as sudo [01:43] oren: when ever you do root commands, don't become root, only use sudo [01:43] bittin: stop that! [01:43] hey hoonteke - is there any other 64 bit codecs that i could instal? [01:43] hoonteke: how do u become root? su ? [01:43] oren: there are times to become root, but for most beginners at the command line, the right answer is usually *always* stick with sudo [01:43] kurtis, hmmm check if the power button of the wifi is on ~ other then that i have no idea [01:43] oren: may I be a jerk and tell you that I'll tell you when yo need to know? stick with sudo. [01:44] hoonteke: (-: sure [01:44] Fongy: if you're not running a 64-bit kernel, it won't help. [01:44] Fongy: to make sure what kernel you're running, you can run this from the command line: uname -a === no-name- is now known as no [01:44] ah ok [01:44] ill try that [01:44] if you see x86_64 in the output, then it's a 64-bit kernel [01:44] Dmstrdj, huh? ~ y can't you? gwhat you trying to umount ?go to terminal force umount ? [01:44] wildbat: It's okay. I had to go through this with an older Toshiba laptop I used to have on an older version of Ubuntu.

My screen monitor goes black as if going to sleep. But this happens random. and it only started to happen after i installed Ubuntu lucid. fresh install. Sometimes this happens when im using it, so its not like it goes to sleep or idle. [01:47] hoonteke - the only other thing i can think of is a corrupt install of the restricted extras or stuff? [01:47] which i would highly doubt [01:47] Fongy: possible. run these to be sure: [01:47] sudo apt-get autoclean # removes the download install files [01:48] sudo apt-get install --reinstall ..."all the codec packages" [01:48] anyone have idea, how to fix the system alert sound with compiz ? it seem if i am using compiz i made some of the sound disappear(e.g. backspace while the inputbox is empty), but metacity work prefect with the sound theme.

No one has responded, so it's my guess that either no one knows what you're talking about, or no one knows at all. IRC ettiquette suggests you wait roughly 4+ hours (i.e. until new people might be in the room) then ask again. [01:49] Fongy: correct [01:49] How can I snap windows? [01:49] easy - get the disc and a big hammer [01:49] hah [01:49] lol [01:50] How can I snap windows on Ubuntu?

[01:54] I can enable 'snapping windows' but I heard I could a keyboard control [01:54] ty [01:54] dean_: Do you have another support question we can help you with?

Ctrl+W close the window, doesn't delete the previous word. Go me ... [01:58] ubutom hello, so when logged on i saw a gray translucent box saying "Wireless Networks Available - Click on this icon to connect to an available network" (the icon looks like a bunch of spreading radio waves. i assume that is the Network Icon) [01:58] <_2> fixed. [01:58] so yeah - if anyone out there has there 10.04 machine being used as a media server for their ps3 could comeone let me know? [01:58] usr13: do you mean /var/log/apt/* [01:58] usr13: /var/log/apt/history.log (term.log might also be useful, depending on what you need) [01:59] dean_: my node is superior :P [01:59] hufx: dean_ is no longer in the channel [01:59] siddhion, and have you entered that key you mentioned? [01:59] I'm having a problem with a zip file not unzipping, I know the archive is valid since it matches the md5sum value [02:00] goplexian, are you using the archive manager with gnome? [02:00] but when I do `unzip file.zip` I get End-of-central-directory signature not found. [02:00] goplexian, hmm, maybe you have a hosed-up zip file. [02:01] JackWaugh, I'm using unzip, when I use file-roller it hangs for like 3 minutes then comes back and tells me it cant extract. The file in question is about 9gb in size [02:01] does anyone know how to use chromium-browser with --user-data-dir (i.e. profiles), and register an instance with the desktop so that when I click a hyperlink in other appliciations (e.g. thunderbird, pidgin) it opens a new tab instead of trying to open the default chromium profile? [02:01] ubutom so I noticed that at the get go I am disconnected. so I click the Network Wireless Icon and a pop up window appears saying "Unlock Keyring" at first I thought I had to enter that 20 bit hex key... but eventually I realized that this window jsut wanted my Ubuntu password that I created during installation. After I entered that password I start up Firefox [02:01] JackWaugh, I've downloaded it twice, and both times it matches the md5sum so I do not think it is a problem with the file, as I said it is a 9 gig file [02:01] siddhion, and did it work? [02:02] siddhion, not sure about that keyring thing, I don't use it [02:02] Hello [02:02] goplexian: are you sure that the version of unzip you have can handle a file that size? [02:02] hi [02:02] Trying to find out how I can find out if someone has run a script with sudo [02:03] goplexian, maybe whoever published the file made a bad zip, then took the checksum, and published that as well. So that would mean you're getting a good download of a bad file that someone published that way. [02:03] From inside of the script [02:03] I need to to no how to make dosbox window larger [02:03] hoonteke, no I'm not sure about that [02:03] quick one: i deleted my swap partition and made a new one, now i need to know if i can just change one line in fstab or if i need to do more than that - anyone? [02:03] Or even full screen that would work [02:03] goplexian, does unzip give you an error? [02:03] hoonteke: rww Ok, thanks, guys... Well, Just as I suspected, I've done a kernel update but hastily opted for the default of keeping current menu.lst and so I'm not running the latest updated kernel. [02:03] so.... ? [02:04] UBUNTU DOESNT GET ERRORS BECAUSE IT CANT RUN .EXE'S !!! [02:04] usr13: sudo update-grub, I think [02:04] can anyone tell me how to create a launcher that will start up the xfce4-terminal and automatically change directories? [02:04] milesd: yes, a single line in fstab should do it [02:04] dean_: Please stop [02:04] Or virus's for that matte [02:04] milesd: though note that it wont' take effect until you reboot [02:04] ubutom I turned off offline mode thinking that it would work but nothing...then i clicked the "Problem Loading Page " button and a pop-up came up saying "Wireless Network Authentication Required". This is the window that shows my ""Wireless Security: WPA & WPA2 Personal"" and below that it shows ""Password: (here i enter that 20bit hex key)"" [02:04] Its a really good OS [02:04] unless you work some shell magic [02:04] milesd: which I could run you through, but I'd rather you just rebooted [02:04] moonlite: thanks, also wonder if i have to use the partition uid or if i can just use /sda2 [02:04] yep i made mine minic everything about windows [02:04] hey all, [02:04] a user's Effecctive ID comes back as the UID when run with sudo [02:04] yep i made mine minic everything about windows [02:04] yeah siddhion , aaand? did it connect? :) [02:05] Except .exe's [02:05] my machine sees 2 hdds, 1 called 6.2gig and the other called 154gig, i dont know wny they are named as that - since they are respectively 160gig and 200gig === chim is now known as Guest53419 [02:05] tim__, nothing in the manpage? [02:05] I hate getting viru's with a pashion [02:05] dean_: That is offtopic for this channel, please take it elsewhere and help keep this channel ontopic. Thanks. [02:05] if anyone knows how to get my system to see the drives for what they truelly are - bigger - that would be fan - freekin - tastic, i was hoping to turn one of them into a "windows visible" drive [02:05] ubutom After entering the key I see the Network Icon in the top panel menu bar Animating as if it is connecting...but it stays in this animation mode... [02:05] How do i change channels? [02:05] ubutom anyways, i can never get connected. [02:05] fdisk -l = > http://www.pastebin.org/326914 [02:05] dean_: /join #channel [02:05] siddhion, it takes a few seconds [02:05] any good gui application for testing regexp? [02:05] dean_ what do you mean viru's [02:05] milesd: did you mean me or moonlite? [02:05] hmm thank you [02:05] ubutom is it normal for it to keep pulsing like that? it never stops for me [02:05] unop, the only options are --help and --version! [02:05] unop, yes http://pastebin.com/4G0Ew0js [02:06] ubuntu does not get virus's [02:06] because it cant run exe's [02:06] hoonteke: yo [02:06] dean, to change chat channels, type "/join #channel_name" [02:06] Basically it says that unzip thinks it is part of a multi-disk archive, but that it can't find the rest of the disks, but its not, its just a single file. [02:06] dean_: only rook kilers [02:06] siddhion, it does it for some seconds and then connects [02:06] Flannel, im a bit slow on the uiptake there [02:06] dean_: That's not exactly the /REASON/ it can't. Linux has had viruses in the past, but none of them are effective anymore [02:06] evilsherpa: No worries [02:07] milesd: then just the /dev/sda2 is fine. the UUID is meant for administrators and power users who have to do this stuff via scripts. For one off jobs, /dev/sda2 (or whatever your partition is) is just fine. [02:07] So whats the topic ? [02:07] milesd: and, in fact, easier to maintain. [02:07] So whats the topic ? [02:07] So whats the topic ? [02:07] What does it mean to say "just update linux kernel from lucid-updates" when referring to my WIFI Adapter? [02:07] dean_: This channel is for Ubuntu technical support [02:07] Hey folks, I'm trying to set a cron that runs every 5 minutes, I add the following to /etc/crontab and restart cron service: */5 * * * * python /var/www/fnnation_server_monitor/manage.py checkserver however after 5 minutes+ the email that should be sent isn't. When I run the same command from the command line, no problems. [02:07] hoonteke: i know you can can run swapon or so, i'll just reboot. I'm just not sure if I need to put that long string of id number in the fstab swap line, or if i can just put sda2, which is my swap partition [02:07] any other steps I need? [02:07] ubutom ok because mine never stops that animation...makes sense since i can not connect...constantly it tries to connect [02:07] just pulled an awesome double of Kenyan "aa" i need to try to get this hdd cranking [02:07] hoonteke: oops, sry, missed your last [02:07] i appear to have an additional hdd that isnt showing up in system [02:08] siddhion, try restarting your wireless router, might work [02:08] evilsherpa: that may be if you have a hardware raid controller [02:08] thanks i get it now - sort of :) but i'll be OK [02:08] ubutom so when i run System Monitor ...Network History is a dead flat line...no activity there [02:08] I've downloaded this file in the past, and it has worked, and now I've downloaded it twice and it doesn't work, I'm getting frustrated with this. Anyone have some unzip magic for me? Or are there alternative unzip back-ends that I could try? [02:08] hoonteke: i see 6200 on this list - [02:08] siddhion I assumed you entered your wireless network password [02:08] tell me a good keyboard shortcut to open the terminal :) [02:08] hoonteke: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/nvidia-glx-185/185.18.36-0ubuntu9 [02:08] siddhion, if its not connected thats no wonder [02:08] hoonteke, i think i do, but i havent enabled it, this happened after i swapped out some hdds and did a clean install [02:08] hoonteke: do u think i can install this? [02:09] hoonteke - thank you for your help mate [02:09] oren: yes. [02:09] klandwehr you mean the 20 bit password? [02:09] i will keep doing some research [02:09] hoonteke: ok. [02:09] Fongy: np. sounds good [02:09] ubutom right [02:09] cya all! [02:09] you'll soon be the expert for others, Fongy [02:09] i hope so :P [02:09] siddhion, go to netwrok connections in system - settings and make the connection available for every user, so you won't need to enter a key for keyring anymore [02:09] evilsherpa: hmm, well, without being an expert in this area, I usually have to individually figure out what's going on [02:09] tim__, my guess is you could try adjusting $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/Terminal/terminalrc - the rc file for xfce4-terminal to get it to cd to the dir you want [02:09] Can someone take a look at this page (it's small) and tell me what it means by "update Linux kernel from lucid-updates" for 10.04? [02:09] (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Realtek%208172) [02:09] evilsherpa: so... roundabout way of saying "good luck!" [02:10] hoonteke, thanks [02:10] found the answer it's id -u [02:10] im givin it a whirl [02:10] goplexian, it's possible the unzip is unable to handle such a big file. have you tried using any other archive managers to unzip it? [02:10] can't print on new hp4500 [02:10] unop, Thank-you, I will try that [02:10] installed drivers an still nothing [02:10] unop, I don't know of any others, have any recomendations? [02:10] kurtis, in terminal : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:11] wildbat: Awesome, I'll give it a try. Thanks again [02:11] not sure of the bit but its in your router set up, or at least mine is [02:11] !zip | goplexian, [02:11] goplexian,: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME), Ark (KDE), or Xarchiver (XFCE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [02:11] guys any regexp tester? but gui not command line [02:11] siddhion, as I said, also try restarting the router, sometimes they just refuse to connect, had that with some usb-sticks, sometimes I had to wait like 10 - 15 minutes until they finally decided to speak with each other again ;) [02:11] ubottu, goplexian already said s/he tried fileroller and it gave a diagnostic.

The only thing I've tried is rebooting, any suggestions? [02:13] dean_, please stop this already. your questions here must be about ubuntu otherwise they are off topic. [02:13] ubutom so i should unplug the router when ubuntu loads up? [02:13] dean_: are you 15? 10? your behavior is getting just a bit obnoxious. [02:13] ri [02:14] unop, I dont think there are any alternative backends for unzip on Linux === scrapy is now known as smw === now is now known as Guest99600 [02:14] they are about ubuntu duh im ruinning it right noe duhhh geeze calm down sh(t brick [02:14] need help setting up new 4500hp printer,scan,fax and copy machine [02:14] 1 [02:14] !ops | dean_ being unproductive [02:14] dean_ being unproductive: Help!

I would suggest Google if you're looking for something specific or just a general list [02:15] i need some ubunt advice [02:15] goplexian, yea, i have a feeling, each of the graphical ones uses unzip behind the scenes [02:15] bazhang: I think 30 minutes of constant abuse is enough to know he won't. [02:15] i mean that's the purpose with having a gui app [02:15] ubutom i see. have you ever seen a problem like mine before where Ubuntu keeps trying to connect (constantly animated icon) ? [02:15] hi [02:16] siddhion, as a matter of fact, yeah, I have, just 2 days ago with my laptop which had this usb-stick to connect ;) [02:16] ubutom so would say that my wireless card is healthy? i figure it is since it is seeing my wireless network [02:16] pepePlu, have a search yourself with. apt-cache search "regular expression" or even apt-cache search regular | grep -i expression [02:16] ubutom you had a usb stick wireless connection? [02:16] i have a question:) [02:17] pepePlu, most editors nowadays will do this for you anyway. [02:17] siddhion, yep, 802.11g usb-stick [02:17] pepePlu, i mean, most good text editors. [02:17] hola ? [02:17] ola [02:17] siddhion, router was another brand, maybe devices from the same manufacturer work better together [02:17] ubutom i see. so would you say this issue is a router issue only?

[02:18] well I guess I have no alternative then to go out and give MS some money since Ubuntu just isn't doing what I want [02:18] unop thanx [02:18] How do I bring up that window where I can select ALSA, Pulse, etc for the sound? [02:18] i have a alsa question to:) [02:18] siddhion, could be, but there is also the chance it is because of the key, you might want to try to set up yourself another one [02:18] this one i don know [02:19] 't [02:19] ubutom interesting idea....how would i go about doing that? is there a guide online? [02:19] but i like to know to:) [02:19] siddhion, I also experienced some problems when I just used a really, really long key consisting of characters and numbers, it just didn't work with that, so I used a short sentence and didn'T have that much problems then [02:20] where are the alsa specialist? [02:20] LinuxWay, just ask your question, man. [02:20] ok [02:20] i have a 1212m [02:20] instalked alsa drivers [02:21] but now i don;t see my headset and mic anymore [02:21] siddhion, I'm sure there are several guides out there, however, maybe you can also ask the people who sold you the hardware, sicne they have set it up [02:21] when i instaled ubuntu it was the other way around [02:21] siddhion, I think there are also some password-generators in the web [02:22] so how do i make/get my headset back? [02:24] anyone?:P) [02:24] :) [02:24] Maaan.. I wanna watch a movie... >_< I can't believe I'm having a Windows-like problem on a Linux box :(* [02:24] siddhion, I'm not sure if the password was just wrong that I picked, or if it was too ling and the router couldn't handle it because of that :) [02:24] !medibuntu > Zoffix_ this fixes things for most [02:24] Zoffix_, please see my private message [02:24] *ling = long [02:25] bastid_raZor, I doubt that is it. I have all the packages installed and my system worked fine until an hour ago. Now all of a sudden the sound is gone :S [02:26] Zoffix: I just reboot when I lose my audio like that [02:26] norm_, I rebooted once already hoping it would fix it :) [02:26] ubutom so it could be the password i have is not being processed? that is so bizarre [02:27] Hmr..I think I'll try another reboot... [02:27] siddhion, well, some hardware isn't what it claims to be... [02:27] ubutom and you are talking about my router? [02:28] siddhion, no, in general, just because hardware has a feature on paper doesn't mean it always can really perform it. [02:29] how come ubuntu doesn't come with a root password by default? [02:29] anigma, sudo is used for that [02:29] anigma: the root pw is your user pw [02:29] anigma, and you can also always set one [02:29] ubutom so i basically the simplest way to resolve this would be to contact my ISP and have them come and change the HEX key? [02:30] anigma, it's a design decision. [02:30] !root | anigma [02:30] anigma: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:30] anigma, there isn't very often a need to actually log in as root. [02:30] hufx, that's not correct. [02:30] unop kiki is the best that i found so far [02:30] pepePlu, nice [02:30] i permaroot [02:30] unop: please explain! [02:30] ubutom i would really rather take this issue on by myself since i can not communicate with them since they speak different language than me. [02:30] ubottu, sounds like Zen. [02:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:31] hufx: ubuntu has the root account disabled so the root pw cant be your user password [02:31] siddhion, I don't know, could cost something, do you have a password for your routers web configuration? === SailorReality is now known as dfada [02:31] Didn't help.... Also, if I openup ``gstreamer-properties'' and select Alsa for output and hit "Test" the app freezes. What could it mean? [02:31] anyone have idea, how to fix the system alert sound with compiz ? it seem if i am using compiz, it made some of the sound disappear(e.g. backspace while the inputbox is empty), but metacity work prefect with the sound theme. [02:31] unop: well ok but from a user point of view its the same [02:31] hufx: its more like that in ubuntus default config users of the admn group can run stuff using sudo by providing their user passwords [02:31] hufx, the root account is locked by default, it can be unlocked and given a password - but that's not recommended. when you use sudo, it asks for _your_ password not root's password and elevates you up to superuser. [02:31] ubutom i do not know what you mean by "routers web configuration". [02:32] siddhion, can you maybe set another key with some windows-dial-in software or where that hex key is stored? [02:32] hufx, why should it be? and it isn't. [02:33] siddhion, most routers can be accessed through an ip in your lan, via browser, there you can change passwords, security settings, turn firewall on and off and so on [02:33] hello [02:33] can someone help me installing adobe on xubuntu ? === SuP|Lobby is now known as lime [02:33] I am new to linux [02:33] ubutom like i said before, the ISP service people came over a year ago and just set the router up and i never got to see what they were doing...i could not have them communicate to me what they were doing...highly frustrating situation... i feel kind of powerless because of the language barrier === lime is now known as SuP|Lobby [02:33] unop: well ok but from a user point of view its the same as the user is in the sudoers file [02:33] !flash|al7bar: [02:33] al7bar:: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [02:33] siddhion, what do they speak? Sure they have some english speaking guys? [02:34] or girls.lol [02:34] :) [02:34] ubutom i understand what you mean....polish. i am in poland. [02:34] hufx, I fail to see how that logically connects a user to root. Sudo doesn't query the root account or it's password. [02:35] siddhion, you're living in Poland and you don't speak Polsky? [02:35] ubutom so the only way to access my router's web configuration would be to have them come then. right? or is there a way out of this? [02:35] ubutom yeah, i never took to the language... though i should have forced myself to learn it.... [02:35] siddhion, no, you can access it yourself, if you have access to it that is [02:36] can someone help me? [02:36] ubutom what do you mean? [02:36] playing a rsps on linux? [02:36] unop: so how does it now how to grant root privilges then? [02:36] and installing vent? [02:36] siddhion, maybe you could look up the router using Google; find its user's manual online. [02:36] siddhion right click on your connection icon then click connection information and find the IP of default route [02:36] siddhion, you could need a password to enter the web-configuration [02:36] siddhion, did they not give you any manuals? [02:36] siddhion the put that IP into a browser, 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 depends what it is [02:37] ubutom cant i just call them up and they can give it to me? [02:37] siddhion default un/pw is usually admin/admin depending on router type... you can google the type of router to find the default pass for the model [02:37] al7bar what do you need? [02:37] connermcd it is 192.168.1.1 yes it gives me a pop up asking for username and passowrd [02:38] siddhion, sure, and what connermcd said [02:38] my computer wont play dvd's [02:38] someone help me [02:38] siddhion: try admin -- password [02:38] siddhion try admin admin; if that doesn't work look at the box and find the type of router it is [02:38] hufx, well, as you said, from the predicates in the sudoers file. [02:38] siddhion you can google the router type to find the default password [02:39] oi [02:39] unop: that no answer really [02:39] siddhion, also, there might be a procedure to reset the router to factory settings. [02:39] ubutom yeah i am going to have to get my lady to help me contact them to get my router username and passowrd [02:39] I always change mine :) whough it can be reset with a needle on most routers siddhion [02:39] ___|___ø¤°`°`°¤ø___|_____ [02:39] __*_/__ø¤°`°`°¤ø__\______ [02:39] ___|___ø¤°`°`°¤ø___|_____ [02:39] MindUser51674: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:41] depends [02:41] siddhion, and if you don't have those you will have to let them set it up again for you === SuP|Lobby is now known as MePHiSto1 [02:41] Can anyone help with configuring a Panasonic KX-P2123 24 pin dot matrix printer? I've done the obvious, it just prints junk. [02:41] hi [02:41] connermcd ubutom i know what you mean....so after pressing the button i google the model number....the default usrnm/pass would be in the manual? === Master_Roshi is now known as no-name- [02:41] yeah bastid_raZor [02:42] siddhion what type of router is it? I might be able to just tell you [02:42] ubutom super good point! [02:42] siddhion but yes you can also google for it [02:42] siddhion, didn't you get any paperwork from them? [02:42] my ubuntu wont play dvd's [02:42] It has worked before under Red Hat and Rock Linux. [02:42] connermcd this one by Techniclan http://www.techniclan.com/WAR-54G_WLAN_broadband_802.11g_AP_Router_QoS,p,88.html [02:42] linux_is_my_hero try VLC [02:42] ubutom i have a box...i will check it now [02:43] yeah, that doesnt work either. [02:43] I just updated to 10.04 and now when I boot the screen is dim. Maybe at around 50% or so brightness. Pressing the key combo to brighten it shows it is at 100%. Changing the screen resolution fixes it. Is this a known issue and is there a workaround? Google found other issues that seemed different from mine. [02:43] connermcd: yeah that doesnt work either. [02:43] siddhion, I have my ISP number and password for dsl connection and everything in one place, would recommend that [02:43] . [02:43] linux_is_my_hero: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [02:43] linux_is_my_hero are you playing off a disc or off your filesystem? [02:44] terrylm, ah, sweet memories [02:44] unop: just trying to understand the relationship [02:44] linux_is_my_hero what rww said [02:45] Got an unusual error. Was updating network configuration, and the power decided to go out..luckily I was able to reset it manually. Not a good thing to happen, unless you want to lose 2 hours of your life. [02:45] connermcd: off of a disc [02:46] siddhion did you try admin/admin? [02:46] siddhion seems like that's the default... otherwise they must have set it in which case you'd have to reset [02:46] siddhion do you have DSL or cable [02:46] wohooo finally finished my ubuntu cluster project :) [02:46] * uBloco is back (gone 00:01:04) [02:46] * uBloco is away: ja volto :) [02:46] linux_is_my_hero follow the link from rww [02:47] yup reading now :-) [02:47] hufx, if you're asking how it is sudo elevates a user to root (and other users). it's because /usr/bin/sudo is owned by root and is setuid root - meaning that this utility always runs a process under the root account and therefore is able to spawn other process under root (or other users). [02:47] !away > uBloco [02:47] uBloco, please see my private message === MePHiSto1 is now known as SuP|Lobby [02:48] unop: spawn other process kind of what I thought thanks! [02:48] connermcd: "an error occurred. cannot read from resource" [02:49] connermcd ubutom they never gave me a manual or CD for the router... [02:49] connermcd: thats what it says when i try to play my dvd [02:49] siddhion have you tried admin for the username and admin for the pass? [02:49] linux_is_my_hero did you download and install the libdvdcss2 package? [02:49] siddhion, and what about the details about your line? no number and password to use for ppp? [02:50] siddhion, and please don't write it in the channel ;D [02:51] connermcd admin/admin did not work....i honestly do not know what i have ....i know it is not DSL because its not coming in through a phone line...an ethernet cable plugs into the router....it travels up to the roof of our building and connects to a little white antenna [02:51] siddhion then it should be fine to reset the device [02:51] siddhion then you can use admin/admin and it should work [02:52] connermcd: it says its already installed [02:52] ubutom what line? my connection? i dont know what ppp is. [02:52] siddhion afterwhich you will be able to go through a setup wizard and make a new username and password [02:52] siddhion, so you have Wireless LAN Bridge maybe? [02:52] it can read things on the disc (the autorun, the folders, etc....) [02:52] unop: whats the diff between owned by root and setuid root (if its not too OT) [02:52] connermcd but when i reset the device how do i get back online? [02:53] siddhion, point to point protocol I think, it's how people connect with their Digital Subscriber Line, but sionce you have a roof-antenna... [02:53] siddhion you will go to that IP(192.168.1.1) then go through the setup wizard... it will automatically figure stuff out [02:53] siddhion be advised [02:53] connermcd i see. is there any risk that i will not get back online? [02:53] connermcd, siddhion but the configuration the isp did will vanish and if siddhion doesn't know it he can't set it back [02:53] siddhion you must be connected to the router with an ethernet cable [02:53] should be able to do a hardware reset if you f* things up [02:54] hufx, well, something is said to be "setuid root" if it is owned by root and has the setuid ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid ) bit set i.e. with say chmod u+s [02:54] hufx: setuid means that if you're a normal user and run it, it'll run with root privileges anyway [02:54] siddhion and ubutom is right... there is a risk that the ISP has specific settings... but generally not the case [02:54] hufx, setuid ensures that the process runs under the account that owns the file - so if you change the owner to say "nobody" - the executable runs under nobody [02:55] rww, errm, not really - but yea, practically that's almost always the case. [02:55] connermcd so the safer way would be to conntact the ISP and just get the username and password ...correct? [02:55] linux_is_my_hero a reboot may be necessary after installing the libdvdcss2 package [02:55] unop: yes, I missed the word "root" in there. [02:55] siddhion yes, that is the safest thing to do [02:55] connermcd, siddhion, well, if they don't use encryption nothing will happen, but if they do the configuration will be gone and so the onternet [02:55] connermcd we're just providing you with work-arounds [02:55] siddhion we're just providing you with work-arounds [02:56] lol @ me [02:56] ubutom yes i think it would be a Wireless LAN Bridge === gdb_ is now known as gdb [02:56] how do you proxy using ubuntu? [02:56] linux_is_my_hero if you're following the page rww sent you there is more to do than just an apt-get install [02:56] connermcd i see. it is good to know. i think i would just rather acquire the username and passwords from the ISP people [02:57] siddhion all good; just trying to help === debug_ is now known as debugnet [02:57] unop: so "setuid" translates to set user id that could seem dangerous in some insztances [02:58] siddhion, yeah, wanted to suggest that, maybe they can tell you how to setup the w-lan key in ubuntu , as it didn't work when you tried [02:58] connermcd ubutom so once i get the username and password i should use 192.168.1.1 to access the router and then what? [02:58] how do you proxy using ubuntu? [02:58] Zela http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-set-up-proxy-on-ubuntu-502540/ [02:58] siddhion well what are you trying to do? [02:58] unop: so thats what Bastille was on about! [02:59] connermcd: it still doesn't work. and its not the drive because i can read files on the disk. [02:59] connermcd well i am trying to get online with my Ubuntu 10.04 fresh install [02:59] unop: hence my questions [02:59] Any recent blogs about setting up a bootable/installable 10.04 on a usb stick? [02:59] hufx, indeed - it's a double-edged sword. it's dangerous and exploits can take advantage of it - but it's also necessary - like with allowing sudo to do it's job -- sudo actually complains if it is not setuid root. [02:59] siddhion, then you should be able to set your own WPA2 key and try if it works then, you also have to set the new key then in windows [02:59] connermcd the Network Icon is in constant animation mode...attempting to connect but it can never do it [02:59] siddhion oh... well I dunno who was pointing you to your router... I came into this conversation late... are you connecting wired or wirelessly? [02:59] connermcd wirelessly [03:00] siddhion, but maybe it will be easier to get some assistence on the wpa-key setting in ubuntu [03:00] linux_is_my_hero so you downloaded the package from that page, ran the script, and rebooted your machine? [03:00] ubutom ok [03:00] i didnt reboot, ill try that. [03:00] ubutom you mean by openning "Netwoirk Connections" [03:00] siddhion what ubutom said... now I see why he was pointing you to the router [03:00] connermcd, problem is the wpa2 key doesn't work when entered in ubuntu so we are not sure if it is the right one [03:01] siddhion, they have to have some kind of admin who can guide you trhough the setup [03:01] siddhion if you're using a computer that's working wirelessly and is running vista or 7 I believe there is a way to view the working passcode [03:01] ubutom well i jsut downlaoded a program called wirelesskeyview-x64 and reacquired the key and compared it to the one i had written a few months ago...it is the same one [03:02] siddhion, and usually they are linux-savvy :) [03:02] does anyone know about ircd-hybrid === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [03:02] unop: so no one from the outside should be setuid? [03:02] In Karmic is the cron errors in syslog too? I'm trying to have a script run every minute, and it's not working, it works fine from command line, however there is no errors or any hint that it tried to run w/ grep CRON /var/log/syslog [03:02] ubutom the ISP people ? [03:02] siddhion, yep [03:02] it's a python script, so it might be a path issue, but there's again no errors to work with. [03:02] siddhion, don't know that program and if that is correct what it says [03:02] ubutom ahh ok. perhaps. but the language difference it a bit tough [03:03] siddhion ok, gotta go now, see ya and good luck, bye [03:03] siddhion try System->Administration->Hardware Drivers and see if anything is listed [03:03] ubutom ok thanks a lot [03:03] siddhion, in doubt try babelfish, lol :D [03:04] hi all. i have upgraded to Lucid. now, GTK+ widgets with keyboard shortcuts do not reveal their shortcut keys until I hold ALT. this is annoying, how can i change it back? [03:04] ubutom ok i will consider [03:04] hufx, setuid is not a property given to a user. it's a property given to an executable file on the file system. Any user who invokes a "setuid root" executable actually invokes a process running as root (and therefore able to do anything on the system) -- which is why safeguards (like the sudoers file) are needed. === mac9416_ is now known as mac9416 [03:04] hi all =D [03:04] siddhion, or some polish friend who speaks english sluently [03:04] connermcd so go there in Ubuntu and what will i be looking for? [03:04] i have a question i hope somebody could help me.. how can i restore Compiz if i killed it from the terminal? cuz if i run it again from the terminal i cant close that terminal or compiz will shut down again. and i tried with ALT + F2 but for some reason it doesnt work when i kill compiz [03:04] *fluently [03:04] error: No devices found on bus: usb Which is wrong because it's listed on lsusb [03:04] ubutom right.. better that way [03:04] hp printer setup [03:05] connermcd my wireless card driver? [03:05] unop: ok thanks thats a lot clearer now [03:05] siddhion yeah [03:05] connermcd when i find it then what shall i do? [03:05] connermcd i know i have an intel 5100 [03:06] Joaquin: try adding a & to the end of the command to start it. This should put it in the background [03:06] q. how can I enable the grub menu ? i ran grub-mkconfig and found my lfs does it at that to the entry or is there more to it ??.. [03:06] Hi. I'm trying to build Crystal Space and I can't find headers for the fglrx drivers anywhere. Where is it that I'm not looking? [03:06] siddhion nevermind then - that should be fully functional with the generic driver [03:07] mrunknown: thanks it worked :) [03:07] connermcd i assume my wireless card is working becasue i can see all the available networks ... wouldnt you agree? [03:07] Joaquin: you're welcome. You can add & to any command to detach it from the terminal that launched it. [03:07] unop: ist just that Bastille wants to change some file permissions [03:08] siddhion I agree now [03:08] unop: and I wanted to understand them [03:08] hufx, sorry, Bastille? is that an application? [03:08] siddhion Only thing I can think is reboot and make sure you're typing the password correctly... wouldn't hurt to try that again [03:08] connermcd so since my wireless card is healthy then it must be my router that is ill , right? [03:09] siddhion not necessarily ill... it could have a MAC filter or some other settings that are preventing you from connecting [03:09] connermcd i see [03:09] mrunknown: thanks.. im new at ubuntu so i really appreciate ur help :) [03:09] howdy folks - I had a bad install of mysql-server as it won't take my password. How do I go about completely removing this on ubuntu? [03:09] whmeroe, do you want to change the mysql password? [03:09] my printer device is not showing up in my usb when trying to set up this printer [03:10] connermcd a MAC filter...but i can connect on Vista boot which i am using now [03:10] unop, I could try that but mysqladmin throws an invalid password [03:10] unop, is there a backdoor way to do it? [03:10] whmeroe, does the mysql command at the command line take your password? [03:10] siddhion oh I didn't know it was dual boot... I assumed you had two computers [03:10] unop, negative [03:10] can someone help me to find out why my gsm utils, especially gsmsendsms tells me [03:10] gsmsendsms[ERROR]: expected parameter (at position 1 of string ',1,1,1') [03:11] when I do; [03:11] gsmsendsms -d /dev/ttyUSB0 004917000000 test [03:11] whmeroe, well, then you can change the root password with this command. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-common [03:11] I get this error when I try to use gammo [03:11] connermcd yeah dual boot [03:11] unop, okay I was doing that with mysql-server let me try that line instead [03:11] Sending SMS 1/1....waiting for network answer..error 500, message reference=-1 [03:11] error: No devices found on bus: usb Which is wrong because it's listed on lsusb need help setting this up [03:11] siddhion I think on Vista if the password is saved you can disconnect, click connect, and put a check in show password to double check the correct password [03:11] siddhion I think* I'm not very up on being Windows savvy... especially Vista and 7 [03:12] Bus 001 Device 006: ID 03f0:2e12 Hewlett-Packard here it is but not showing up in set up [03:12] unop, returned me to command line after that [03:13] connermcd well i think i will contact my ISP and work with them on this... i know they are coo lwith linux... [03:13] connermcd thansk for the help though [03:13] hp printer setup [03:13] whmeroe, you sure you used the -plow argument there? [03:13] siddhion all right good luck; no problem... Ubuntu is worth it... annoying when it doesn't do what you want right out of the box though [03:14] error: No devices found on bus: usb Which is wrong because it's listed on lsusb need help setting this up [03:14] unop, yea i'm sure [03:15] unop, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-common [03:15] marine1 what setup? you installed cups and are adding a new printer? [03:15] unop, returns me to command line is all....can I just go deleting stuff to force a full reinstall? [03:15] connermcd yeah i know....soooo sick of vista here. ..... very unresponsive.... plus i am leanring Ruby and Linux is better supported. [03:15] take care [03:15] whmeroe, try this first. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow $(dpkg -l | awk '/mysql/{print $2}') [03:15] connermcd: just trying to add a printer but when I'm in the hp setup it can't find the device [03:16] 10.04, using broadcom STA driver from hardware restricted drivers, getting low speeds / connection strengths from close to the router, any ideas... tried b43 driver its a little better but not much... [03:16] unop, there we go..asking me for password [03:16] marine1 what OS and what printer [03:16] connermcd: ubuntu and hp4500 [03:16] unop, i'm in thanks [03:16] marine1 10.04 Lucid? [03:16] connermcd: 9.0 [03:16] connermcd: 9.04 [03:17] whmeroe, ahh, should have reconfigured mysql-server instead of mysql-common .. :) even i've learnt something now [03:17] whmeroe, the -plow is necessary [03:17] unop, i tried that actually :) it was a no go [03:17] unop, with your -plow mysql-common i changed it to mysql-server just to see [03:18] whmeroe, you might have multiple mysql-server packages is my guess then [03:18] whmeroe, dpkg -l *mysql-server* # would show you them [03:19] unop, ahh duh :) [03:19] i need some help with gnome+lucidlynx [03:19] unop, use to windows where zend server ce doesn't come with mysql by default [03:19] marine1 Have you tried installing the HPLIP driver [03:19] unop, on linux it does :) [03:19] connermcd: that was the 1st thing I did' [03:20] whmeroe, :) [03:20] i removed the mail and messenger icon from the top panel by mistake, how do I add it again? [03:20] 10.04, using broadcom STA driver from hardware restricted drivers, getting low speeds / connection strengths from close to the router, any ideas... tried b43 driver its a little better but not much... [03:20] unop, i blame it on lack of coffee or baby on lap [03:20] unop, or me not paying attention [03:21] piyushmishra: right click the panel > add to panel .. add back the Indicator Applet [03:21] marine1 what version of HPLIP is installed [03:21] bastid_raZor: thnx done:) [03:22] !broadcom [03:22] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:22] 661223 === administrator is now known as Guest24168 [03:23] anyone knows the default audio driver ubuntu? [03:24] yo yo o [03:24] LinuxWay, "driver" should depend on your hardware, do you mean pulse? [03:24] ok [03:25] now im get it:) [03:26] instaled alsa for my soundcard but now the onther hardware ist seen [03:26] before i instald alsa ubuntu see my mic and headset [03:27] now ist the onther way around [03:28] wondering if someone can help... [03:28] how do I load scsi_mod? [03:28] mcarse, sudo modprobe scsi_mod ? [03:28] modprobe? [03:29] "FATAL: Module scsi_mod not found." [03:29] i all, im making some changes to my fstab, whats worrying me is that the NTFS drive, is marked as boot in fdisk -l [03:29] apparently it is needed to make multiple LUNS show up when Drobos are connected to Linus. [03:29] **linux [03:30] how do you rebind the cut and paste in the terminal ? [03:30] from 2006 I used to upgrade my Ubuntu on this laptop, but quite a few things get broken every time, also my Gnome looks different from fresh install ;-) I was wondering, if there is a good official tutorial on clean reinstall with preserving users data (not settings, perhaps)? [03:30] i want to bind it to the windows-key-V [03:30] i want to bind it to the option-V [03:30] evilsherpa, that just means it has the ability to be booted I believe sir. [03:30] nm i found it [03:31] it's in gnome terminal itself [03:31] thanks [03:31] adhdkid, cool, hmm, i am confused as in cant tell if its mounted [03:31] but i hink it is [03:31] hi.. ubuntu 10.04 have wifi unstable problems? my wifi under ubuntu is very unstable [03:31] evilsherpa, cat /etc/mtab [03:32] if it is, then sudo umount /dir/of/mount [03:32] how do you rebind the OS ctrl-V to option-V ? [03:33] quizme, on gnome? [03:33] adhdkid yeah i think so [03:33] adhdkid: compiz fusion [03:33] adhdkid: gnome-terminal [03:33] morph3us: when it drops run: dmesg | tail [03:34] morph3us: you may also want to reboot and run: dmesg | less to see if a firmware file was expected [03:34] is there a package that I need installed before I can load scsi_mod with modprobe scsi_mod? [03:34] i will ActionParsnip, i didn't knew that command [03:34] adhdkid: i have add [03:34] morph3us: dmesg shows the kernel messages since boot [03:34] adhdkid: my mom has adhd [03:35] adhdkid, may i borrow your skills, im not sure what this means, but i think i have a bit more of a clue http://www.pastebin.org/327074 [03:35] Thanks ActionParsnip. I read about certain unstability problems in 10.04 [03:36] adhdkid, i do not see it there [03:36] morph3us: if you find something then i'd log a bug to make it known as well as the fix you get (if any) [03:37] Thanks ActionParsnip. I am gonna reboot now [03:38] quizme, sorry my wifi is very bad on 10.04. [03:39] adhdkid: no problem [03:39] hello i need help installing wireless drivers on ubuntu lucid [03:39] automated testing is awesome btw [03:39] Hello!

[04:07] enav, Ensure all of the NFS homes are located on the server.... [04:07] enav, Ensure you have enough hardware to act as an NFS server for X number of clients.... [04:08] enav, Have X on a different server than the NFS server..... [04:08] HermanDE: can you give me a link ? [04:08] enav, Have X run remote for each client.... [04:08] enav, Uh..... My suggestion is to read up on NFS first.... [04:08] HermanDE:ubuntu nsf [04:08] enav, Then follow up with DHCP....DNS... [04:09] enav, This is standard stuff for most Unix systems..... [04:09] enav, That would be Network File Sharing... === SuP|Lobby is now known as MePHiSTo1 [04:09] ok [04:09] enav, It could be a project that runs across a week....

[04:10] enav, Yep... First really big question.... Do you want local systems or store everything on the server? [04:11] well i guess local and remote [04:11] enav, Local System.... Each client has all applications installed... And management means going to each system and updating/configuring.... [04:12] enav, Remote Client.... Everything is on the server.... Make a change on the server... And it immediately affects all users...... [04:12] Windows client can connect with LDAP? [04:13] enav, Uh.... Sure.... If you hook it with samba... And do a bit of magic depending on your clients..... [04:13] hum [04:14] enav, Are you looking for something that will just 'WORK" out of the box?

[04:16] enav, ActiveDirectory is a specialized LDAP server..... [04:16] HI [04:16] enav, They are not the same... But both can store and serve elements..... [04:17] ALL [04:17] HI [04:17] that means that LDAP can apply administrative templates and policies to user just like M$ ActiveDirectory does? [04:17] enav, One is directly hooked into the Windows system. The other does not know the proper API for Windows..... [04:18] hello, doesn't ubuntu have g77 anymore? to work with netbeans [04:18] enav, That is simply strange..... LDAP does not contain templates.... That is a Microsoft API thing..... [04:19] enav, Microsoft doesn't want *anybody* to have their precious API information..... === hlx_ is now known as hlx [04:19] enav, The new version of Samba should have the ActiveDirectory emulation......

It shows both of my cards, but it says wireless disabled. [04:19] enav, Yep..... [04:20] enav, As cool as Linux is.... It is not Windows..... [04:20] enav, And windows is not Linux....

[04:21] it doesn't give me the option [04:21] Like, I hae sound, but i think ubuntu used a generic driver, b/c when i play music/videos, the sound quality is very low [04:21] im happy for that because i love ubuntu and it comunity [04:21] !ot > HermanDE [04:21] HermanDE, please see my private message [04:21] dayrot: Please run the command lspci in your terminal [04:21] on sec [04:21] dayrot: And poste the results in pastebin [04:22] hi, I'm trying to reinstall Ubuntu on a fresh install, but I'm running into a big problem.

[04:59] ....herman I said I don't care if it won't work, drivers won't work if I can't find it [04:59] I've tried that doesn't work anyway [04:59] That is the excitement of some of the stranger USB devices.....

You might look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341607 it has two solutions for modifiying the directory displayed in the desktop [04:59] Not exciting to be honest [05:00] edjfcefcjf, It may not report properly to the linux subsystem..... [05:00] unop: i managed to sove my problem [05:00] rt2570? what version of ubuntu you using? [05:00] Lucid lynx [05:00] edjfcefcjf, And the driver will properly detect it.... [05:00] thune3 thanks!

[05:00] Herman no I got a guy to help me awhile ago it was two commands and it fixed it [05:00] One was modprobe something [05:01] unop: the problem was related to the Ubuntu Netbook Edition PPA [05:01] Mdg2 that isn't related, anyway no because I cant [05:01] edjfcefcjf, The modprobe rt2570.... [05:01] edjfcefcjf, see if it works..... [05:01] Not found [05:02] rt2570 in lucid - should work....

[05:04] Mdg2 yes [05:04] basti_raZor: ok, what do you mean? like, type "xterm" at the command prompt? [05:04] ok must be my dmz then thanks [05:04] edjfcefcjf: look at this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377112 [05:05] mdg2, That would do it.... :) [05:05] toolbear: like in gnome-terminal i press ctrl T and have another terminal window.. also i have an alias al = source ~/.bashrc .. i don't think there is an automatic way [05:05] Herman nope and what? [05:05] edjfcefcjf, Plug your usb device in..... [05:05] Sigh [05:05] IT IS [05:05] HermanDE: you have same adapter as edjfcefcjf ? [05:05] edjfcefcjf, do an lsmod..... Look for "rt2500usb" [05:06] edjfcefcjf, lsmod | grep "rt2500usb" [05:06] Yes look up rutilt and maybe we could move on [05:06] If it can't detect a wireless adapter I doubt the same driver from another source would [05:06] bastid_raZor: well, no, that doesn't seem to source .bashrc. that's my problem [05:07] bastid_raZor: er, that's what i meant by "automatic" [05:07] edjfcefcjf: you are clearly frustrated - I feel your pain [05:07] edjfcefcjf, It looks like it *may* be selecting the wrong driver.... [05:07] edjfcefcjf: you need the rt2570sta driver - we were trying to verify that rt2500usb is loading or not [05:07] Herman nothing but ndiswrapper is somehow running [05:08] Mdg2 I can't download anything [05:08] so i looked it up my mobo has SIS 648fx chipset and i googled it but i am not getting anywhere cause nothing seems to be about sound [05:08] edjfcefcjf, It is looking for a windows driver..... Kill the ndiswrapper.... [05:08] edjfcefcjf: again, I feel you pain. But at this point you should have everything you need - just need to make sure which driver you setup is trying to use [05:09] edjfcefcjf, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377112 [05:09] edjfcefcjf, That is a possible solution.... care of mdg2 [05:09] Mdg2 I want ubuntus driver no ralink [05:09] Herman how does one kill it? [05:09] rt2570 is in ubuntu [05:10] rt2570/rt2570sta [05:10] Okay, I just want it to recognize my card then [05:10] edjfcefcjf, killall ndiswrapper (as root) [05:10] edjfcefcjf, I've never run ndiswrapper so the spelling might be off... [05:10] edjfcefcjf: when you say card - you mean usb wifi adapter or something else? [05:10] Herman no process [05:10] edjfcefcjf, ps aux | grep "ndis" [05:11] edjfcefcjf, /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper stop [05:11] toolbear: are you sure .bashrc isn't getting sourced. add like something like ' echo "BASHRC SOURCED" ' to your bashrc file [05:11] HermanDE: he should just uninstall ndiswrapper - ya think? [05:11] mdg2, Sure...... [05:12] mdg2, I'm all about command line.... So he might be trying to run in the GUI.... [05:12] toolbear: do you have a .bash_profile or .profile ?

[05:13] Herman I killed it [05:13] samantha-c, ... uh xen... ? [05:14] I had to kill it by a process number [05:14] HermanDE: i'm doing a contract install on this machine, and so apparently, yes, it's a Xen box. i didn't set it up, i'm just installing powerdns and geoip. [05:14] it's actually running on amazon [05:14] now how do I make ifconfig detect it? [05:14] edjfcefcjf: if you can use syantpic, uninstall ndiswrapper [05:14] Mdg2 its been completely removed before I even connected here [05:14] edjfcefcjf: ifconfig needs the correct driver installed first [05:15] edjfcefcjf: ndiswrapper? I thought you just killed it? [05:15] samantha-c, That looks cool.... Might be a specialized xen...... [05:15] I fixed all the files I changed aswell [05:15] Unblacklisted the free drivers [05:15] edjfcefcjf: did you blacklist rt2500usb? [05:15] No [05:16] then sudo modprobe rt2570sta? [05:16] I "un"blacklisted all of them [05:16] samantha-c, What are the dependencies for libc6-xen? [05:16] hi [05:16] edjfcefcjf: all rt2xxx drivers?

[05:20] On community docs [05:21] edjfcefcjf: where did you originally find it? [05:21] Mdg2 refer to what I said above [05:21] edjfcefcjf, That is only if the drivers for Linux don't exist or are in really bad shape..... [05:21] _Brun0_, you can reinstall them [05:21] edjfcefcjf: community docs... [05:21] edjfcefcjf, In your case, it is supported....

[05:22] _Brun0_, nope ~ but you can install them with just one apt-get [05:22] _Brun0_, sudo apt-get install wine* [05:22] edjfcefcjf, My suggestion is to unplug the USB..... Wait about 20 seconds..... [05:22] Seriously all it is, is modprobing the right thing [05:22] edjfcefcjf, Plug it back in.... [05:22] Tried it herman [05:23] <_Brun0_> wildbat, didn't worked.. 3 programs had depenndencies [05:23] adhdkid, waht is over kill [05:23] when i choose '2 separate X screens' on nvidia-settings, my main screen stops working. any ideas? [05:23] Did that for 10 minutes [05:23] drk [05:23] _Brun0_, apt-get will auoto select the dependencies i believes. [05:23] edjfcefcjf, Ok..... Did the RT2500 driver show up on an lsmod? [05:24] edjfcefcjf, lsmod | grep "rt2500" [05:24] <_Brun0_> wildbat, it didin't for 3 progrmas [05:24] edjfcefcjf, That would be rt2500usb. [05:24] HermanDE: are we positive he needs rt2570? [05:24] Herman nope [05:24] <_Brun0_> wildbat, i'll do some search/replace to get it all into one apt-get install [05:24] _Brun0_: try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install /f [05:25] But after I killed ndiswrapper its still here [05:25] _Brun0_, just manually install those three then ~ just 3 === heather is now known as Guest41848 [05:25] edjfcefcjf, What is still there? [05:25] edjfcefcjf: you need the windows .inf file for ndiswrapper to work [05:25] not the linux driver [05:25] mdg2, As well as the binaries.... [05:26] Ndiswrapper and I have the windows one [05:26] edjfcefcjf, I'll bet that ndis wrappers is still installed..... [05:26] edjfcefcjf, And took over the device.... [05:26] edjfcefcjf: you have the windows .inf file for your wifi adapter? [05:26] edjfcefcjf: then you need to blacklist all Rt2xxx drivers again [05:27] mdg2, Just the rt2500usb [05:27] WHAT? Why would I do that [05:27] edjfcefcjf, Just blacklist the rt2500usb [05:27] Apparently you guys didn't hear the part about me just wanting ifconfig to see wlan0 [05:27] edjfcefcjf: ndiswrapper used the windows driver = *.inf file - that's what ndiswrapper means [05:28] Yes I don't want ndiswrapper [05:28] rt2570sta is a linux driver [05:28] Seriously guys I didn't think it was this hard [05:28] edjfcefcjf: its actually not that hard ...:) [05:28] Apparently it is mdg2 [05:29] I mean why would you blacklist a driver that's not even installed [05:29] edjfcefcjf: so you either want to use the windows driver *inf file with ndiswrapper or you want the linux driver without ndiswrapper [05:29] edjfcefcjf, To keep it from attempting to install/prior to the proper driver..... [05:29] I don't have ndiswrapper I don't have ndiswrapper-utils and I don't have ndiswrapper-common [05:30] edjfcefcjf, Now try and modprobe rt2x00usb [05:30] And I don't want ndiswrapper [05:30] anyone out there have time to help a newbie setup ubuntu server [05:30] edjfcefcjf: you are confusing us by saying you killed ndiswrapper [05:30] Hm, I seem to have gotten lucid and Win7 dual-booting successfully, and my wireless drivers work in both. That is good. [05:30] Its still there [05:30] But isn't installed [05:30] But somehow I took whatever thing was on the panel that had the volume applet off, and can't figure out how to get it back. [05:30] Its been completely removed [05:30] edjfcefcjf, What is there? [05:30] edjfcefcjf: exactly what is still there? [05:30] Adding the notification area doesn't seem to cut it. [05:30] Ndiswrapper === FH is now known as Guest21567 [05:31] If you see ndis wrapper.... It is still installed..... [05:31] RandBrittain: that one is in the Indicator Applet [05:31] Process 879 [05:31] I added the indicator applet but nothing appeared within it. [05:31] I kill it, but its still there [05:31] edjfcefcjf: would you be opposed to just uninstalling ndiswrapper? [05:31] ...but now I add it again and it works. I don't know why. [05:32] edjfcefcjf: to rule out the possibility it would try to control your adapter [05:32] edjfcefcjf, sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 --purge [05:32] DUDE I SAID I DON'T WANT NDISWRAPPER [05:32] Oh, well. Second question. Windows 7 made some kind of 100MB partition that seems to be full of boot things. Now that I'm using Ubuntu's bootloader can I remove that partition for simplicity? [05:32] edjfcefcjf: that's unstalling ndiswrapper so it can't be used [05:33] edjfcefcjf: apt-get remove is different than apt-get install :) [05:33] hey i cannot make my panel transparent...nyone know wats goin on? [05:33] Herman says all 3 aren't installed [05:33] edjfcefcjf, Then it purged the configs.... [05:33] edjfcefcjf, How do you know that NDIS is running? [05:33] NO ITS BEEN PURGED [05:34] Herman lsmod [05:34] when i choose '2 separate X screens' on nvidia-settings, my main screen stops working. any ideas?/ [05:34] my panel distorts when i try to make it transparent....how can i solve this? [05:34] edjfcefcjf, lsmod is not ndis.... [05:34] edjfcefcjf, modprobe -r (module name) [05:35] Wow, i Meant you type lsmod and then hit enter [05:35] hello [05:35] edjfcefcjf, If you see ndis in the module listing.... The remove the module..... modprobe -r (module) [05:36] edjfcefcjf, Do not unplug the usb.... [05:36] how can u make your panel transparent? [05:37] has any1 got ubuntu 10? [05:38] Ok [05:39] Can the spare system partition Windows 7 creates be deleted once I get a dual-boot set up using the Ubuntu boot thingamabob. [05:39] ? [05:39] * mdg2 sits on edge of seat waiting for outcome of edjfcefcjf situation [05:39] edjfcefcjf, Now try modprobe rt2x00usb [05:39] does anyone know how i can change cursor themes while compiz is running? [05:39] HermanDE: rt2570sta? [05:39] hasek79: get right to your real question, don't be formal [05:39] *Q* Since I installed mysql from the repos, should I upgrade it from there as well? [05:39] ok [05:40] mdg2,.... Depends on his Linux version.... [05:40] HermanDE: I think he said lucid [05:40] Herman I enter it and it does nothing more [05:40] i have just put ubuntu 10 on my imac and i cant do any of the neat features. like it doesnt see my grfx card [05:41] Goes back to the terminal [05:41] I would like to know how you can add system icon to a program [05:41] edjfcefcjf, try dmsg.... [05:41] So I think that worked [05:41] edjfcefcjf, See what is at the bottom.... [05:41] is there a driver or something that can fix that? [05:41] hasek79: is it AMD? [05:41] Dmsg isn't a command [05:41] no [05:41] edjfcefcjf, You need to fix your USB detect to remove ndis.... [05:41] edjfcefcjf, dmesg..... [05:41] is there a specific code to help you with that so that you can add a system icon when it is minimized and could be opened back? [05:41] oh nvemnd [05:41] Ubuntu lucid lynx 64 bit [05:41] hmm [05:41] I'm 9 minutes from being late..... [05:41] intel core 2 duo 2.0ghz [05:41] idk [05:42] Herman now what === administrator is now known as Guest95257 [05:42] hasek79: does internet work?

[05:42] and my card is ati i dont know the number but its 128megs [05:42] Audio stuff [05:43] edjfcefcjf, Wish I could stay and help...... I have a beer waiting for me.... [05:43] hasek79: thats the problem [05:43] Stuff like 300 mbi, 2000 mBm [05:43] yes everything runs perfect but i just cant get the features to work [05:43] ati = bad [05:43] edjfcefcjf, Sounds like you have most of it working.... [05:43] I do? === pepee_ is now known as pepee [05:43] hy guys [05:44] Herman ifconfig and nm-applet don't see it [05:44] They see lo and eth0 [05:44] edjfcefcjf: sudo iwlist scan [05:44] hasek79: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac (you followed instructions under ATI Graphics)? [05:44] im running ubuntu right nest to osx 10.6 right now [05:44] hasek79: lspci in termnial [05:44] Mdg2 lo and eth0 don't support scanning [05:44] hasek79: ubuntu/win7/osx [05:45] edjfcefcjf: because they are not wireless interfaces [05:45] Duh? [05:45] ubuntu is all very new to me i have been wanting to use it for awhile [05:45] edjfcefcjf: sudo iwlist scan [05:45] I told you I have no wlan0 [05:45] Mdg2 lo and eth0 don't support scanning [05:45] Same thing [05:45] hasek79: go into terminal and type lspci [05:46] edjfcefcjf: on your desktop panel, click the nework icon and make sure you enabled "wireless" [05:46] edjfcefcjf: that's a right click [05:46] ok [05:46] Your avoiding the situation [05:47] came up with a bunch of stuff [05:47] hasek79: do you see your card in that list of mumbo [05:47] edjfcefcjf: if you don't have wlan0 or wlan1 or wlan anything, then your driver is not installed or blacklisted [05:47] still looking [05:47] Mdg2 ifconfig and iwconfig aren't related to nm-applet [05:47] DUH! [05:47] hasek79: that is a list your pci buses [05:48] edjfcefcjf: prove it [05:49] edjfcefcjf: unplug your usb wifi adapter wait 20 seconds and plut it back in - does it light up? [05:49] hasek79: ? [05:50] Mdg2 sure, go on arch linux [05:50] hasek79: did you try to install the driver? [05:50] Ifconfig is there but is nm-applet? [05:50] Nm-applet is a gnome gui [05:51] ifconfig is command line inquiry of network interfaces [05:51] Yes it lights up [05:51] Indeed [05:51] edjfcefcjf: iwlist scan - scans wireless interface [05:52] edjfcefcjf: both from command line [05:52] Yes I know how to use iwlist [05:52] edjfcefcjf: sudo iwlist scan [05:52] Okay I give up maybe tommrow people will be more knowelage and stop trying to argue [05:52] edjfcefcjf: see anything now? [05:53] NO [05:53] edjfcefcjf: you sure you know how to use command line and terminal? [05:54] edjfcefcjf: if your adapter lit up - its working [05:54] Yes, remeber when I said this in the start [05:54] edjfcefcjf: on your desktop menu bar you would see a stairstep icon replace the two computer icons for networking [05:54] I tried completely removing ndiswrapper but ifconfig won't detect my wireless adapter and when I do lsusb it says its plugged in [05:55] Mdg2 I assure you I know how to use a terminal === MePHiSTo1 is now known as SuP|Lobby [05:55] edjfcefcjf: if lsusb shows its plugged in, that means the system sees it, does not mean interface is configred [05:56] edjfcefcjf: when you do lsub - there is a number:number that shows up - can you tell us what that is? [05:56] edjfcefcjf: i.e., 104c:8400 [05:57] I told you, I give up, your trying to follow the tut herman sent you most likely, I used thatguide [05:57] edjfcefcjf: no, I never went there :) [05:57] edjfcefcjf: your != you are [05:57] Ok well I have a feeling ill have better luck looking through my drivers [05:57] edjfcefcjf: thing is, the rt2xxx series wifi adapters have at least two different chips they use [05:58] Bastid I'm on a phone I know my grammar [05:58] edjfcefcjf: that's why its best to check the id # of the adapter,which you can get from lsusb [06:00] edjfcefcjf: from that number you determine the driver needed and then can modprobe or blacklist whatever is needed [06:01] When I look in my drivers I see kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt25007!+:*9 [06:01] 2500usb.ko sorry [06:01] Should I have that mdg2? [06:02] edjfcefcjf: rt2x00 is part of rt2500, plus there are other drivers in the rt2x00 series [06:03] Wait hold on I might have figured it out [06:03] edjfcefcjf: again, getting the actual identifying number and working from there is the best plan [06:03] edjfcefcjf: please don't tell me you have ethernet cable plugged in... [06:04] I dont [06:05] edjfcefcjf: well that's good news :) [06:06] Okay I give up, ill go reinstall ubuntu [06:06] * mdg2 sits on edge of seat waiting.... [06:06] It didn't work [06:07] edjfcefcjf: by chance did your wifi adapter work when running a live cd? [06:07] when i choose '2 separate X screens' on nvidia-settings, my main screen stops working. any ideas?/ [06:07] Yes it worked before I installed ndiswrapper aswell [06:07] edjfcefcjf: you can try rebooting into the live cd and then checking lsmod [06:08] edjfcefcjf: see what the live cd is using to run your wifi adapter [06:08] Is there an itunes application for ubuntu that will let me access the store? [06:08] Why? It was default [06:08] edjfcefcjf: its a handy trick :) [06:08] But alright [06:09] hey whats the best way to create a live usb??? is it the same as making a live cd?? [06:09] edjfcefcjf: you might not have to reinstall :) [06:09] darkangel: unetbootin rocks! [06:09] Darkangel lookup unetbootin [06:09] Hi, Not a big deal but.

[06:18] Mdg2 I booted it [06:18] edjfcefcjf: notice in the output of lsmod you see a colon and like a 0 or a 1, that tells you if the module is being used. [06:18] dartt: its in panel properties [06:18] dartt: its in the panel settings/properties menu i recall. [06:18] Nick_Meister: you might have to change the "profile" in the pulseaudio hardware options [06:18] i have e try [06:18] dartt: right click on the panel and go to panel proprties, its the second tab [06:18] thune3, can you help me with it please, because i do not know anything about this kind of stuff [06:18] i tried that but it does not make it fully transparent...rather it distorts it :( [06:18] dartt: right click > properties > Background > Solid color move the Style slider to transparent [06:19] edjfcefcjf: do "sudo iwlist scan" and see if it is setup as wlan0 or wlan1 [06:19] dartt: select background, and use teh slider to set it how you like it [06:19] Wlan0 [06:19] dartt: you might also have to enable advanced effects in appearance [06:19] i did that [06:19] dartt: select solid color [06:19] still [06:19] Nick_Meister: System Preference -> Sound | hardware tab [06:20] acerimmer: i enabled advanced effects still it distorts the panels [06:20] thune3, thats the problem there is nothing in that list :*( [06:20] edjfcefcjf: lshw -show [06:20] thune3, absolute zilch [06:21] dartt: don't know your computer's spec's but you just might not be able to pull it off. try kubuntu? [06:21] thune3, but the audio card shows up in lspci tho [06:21] edjfcefcjf: oops wrong command [06:21] acerimmer: ah no....i hv seen other ppl enabling it [06:21] Yea [06:22] dartt: clarify what you mean by distort. perhaps upload some screenshots/video clips [06:22] ok i upload...gimme a sec [06:23] acerimmer_: nice solution.. transparency issues in gnome-panel so he should dump gnome all together. [06:23] bastid_raZor: u/k/x/l it's all buntu? [06:24] acerimmer_: but a seriously poor solution for gnome-panel issues [06:24] Mdg2 what command [06:24] bastid_raZor: I suggested that his specs might not work but if you or anyone has a better solution....? [06:25] * Dr_Willis waits to see what 'distorted' means [06:25] edjfcefcjf: lsusb -v [06:26] Dr_Willis, check this out http://yfrog.com/0jdesk1015j [06:28] dartt: i had a similiar issue. i changed my theme and it was fixed [06:28] dartt: and whats distorted about it? [06:28] Dr_Willis, what?...not everything is trnasparent....it shpuld be completely transparent....only a section is transparent [06:29] dartt: the panel applets are not using the transparent background. is a bit more clear in your question. not the term 'distorted' For all i know that may be a limitatuion of the gnome panel. Im not on gnome to test it. [06:29] why fedora use beta software. fedora is a nice os but the software that fedora ship is not for new user. new in linux. [06:30] dartt: its also possible if you log out/back in those panel applets Might 'see the new setting' [06:30] dartt, try restarting gnome-panel using 'killall gnome-panel' [06:30] anthony: ask in #fedora [06:30] no, its his theme [06:30] Dr_Willis: oh ya true...ok i try n restart panel [06:30] they. S*&k [06:30] anthony, Fedora has a different target audience than Ubuntu I'd say [06:31] does anyone know where the image next to the main menu is stofred? [06:31] stroed i mean [06:31] dartt: i use the Dust theme. [06:31] Dr_Willis, i restarted the panel still got the same problem [06:31] anthony, Fedora is also used as a test bed for future RHEL releases, which aren't bleeding edge [06:31] !ot [06:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [06:31] anthony: you get your panel tray fixed? [06:31] this happens with all themes [06:32] hu [06:32] hi [06:32] mdg2: no its still the same. it pissed me of when i think of my icons... [06:32] Hello everybody, I have problems with xorg.conf, I can't find the file [06:32] please tell me a good twitter client for Ubuntu [06:32] lint: somewhere in /usr/share/icons perhaps...? [06:32] someone can help me plz? [06:32] elifed: sudo lshw [06:33] elifed: sorry! [06:33] please tell me a good twitter client for Ubuntu [06:33] anthony: what happens when you right click on the start button? [06:33] If I add an init script using update-rc.d, will it be run as root? [06:33] salil: Yes [06:34] Thanks [06:34] Loshki: no, not there [06:34] Mutant: I found the following on google. I don't use twitter myself: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/ [06:34] mdg2: its restart my panel but i don't see my icons. only the network icon that i can see. [06:34] lint: sorry, keep asking then... [06:34] salil: You're welcome. [06:35] anthony: !panel must have zapped them [06:35] panel applets are not getting transparent when i enable transparency...how can i overcome this...screenshot here....http://yfrog.com/0jdesk1015j [06:35] anthony: did you drag and drop them before? [06:35] g'day [06:35] I need some help! [06:35] I just installed 10.04 LTS from a CD [06:35] Jordan_U: Does that mean, I should put it in /etc also? [06:35] it's working fine but there is like 50 packages in the repos! none of the software I want is in there? [06:36] Help! [06:36] I can't even find irssi or xchat or flight gear or skype [06:36] Loshki: Thanks [06:36] dartt, that's a but in the theme [06:36] It's simply not in there [06:36] BUG* [06:36] John__: you using Synaptic? [06:36] yes [06:36] mdg2: i mean i don't see any icon on my "notification area". the only icon that i can see is my network system [06:36] but I tried with apt-get [06:36] still the same problem [06:36] HowDoI, no thats the problem wid every theme :( [06:36] mdg2: Any Ideas? [06:37] John__: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ? [06:37] bastid_raZor: sure [06:37] HowDoI, its default ambiance theme [06:37] John__: try clicking the search box to the right of the main box and typing in you item to be searched [06:37] dartt, try gnome-look.org and searc for another theme [06:37] mdg2: Yes, I did that -- same problem it doesn't find anything [06:37] HowDoI, how can there be a problem in defualt theme? [06:37] John__: the button says "search" === max is now known as Guest9621 [06:37] dartt: its yoru panel color, it had to match the system color [06:37] dartt, there are all kinds of bugs everywhere, it just happens [06:37] John. In synaptics did you do a refresh so it redownloads all the packages? [06:37] John__: did you let the updates run? Like 130 or so to download [06:37] its not a bug though [06:38] salil: Yes, it shouldn't be in a place like your home directory because even if the file itself is owned by root, since the directory it's in is not (and the sticky bit is not set), someone without root prieleges could gain them by rming it and writing their own in its place [06:38] mdg2: no [06:38] HowDoI, ah...but i hv seen ppl using complete transparent panels in screenshots.... [06:38] I'm having a weird problem with Firefox. When trying to choose a file for upload on any website, when I select a file and click OK, it sticks a completely different file (from the same directory) into the upload box [06:38] John__: you should let it update first before adding [06:38] Jordan_U: Thanks === Guest9621 is now known as stonehinge [06:38] salil: You're welcome. [06:38] dartt, also, it seems that by default, Ubuntu forces you to do things their way, and if you want to do things like making panels transparent, you have to edit things the hard way [06:39] hey guy's what is the content of the recovery disk of the ubuntu 10.04. [06:39] bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/sYWRCQUX [06:39] HowDoI, hmmm...so there is no apparent solution for this? [06:39] John__: then click the "search" icon on the right side of the synaptic window to search for things you want to add, not the Quick Search box [06:39] dartt: make sure your colo0rs match [06:39] mdg2: k [06:39] lint, colors match? [06:40] dartt, yes there is. The default Ubuntu theme apparently does not support transparent panels. File a bug report. In the mean time, find a new theme you like on say, www.gnome-look.org, or edit the theme yourself [06:40] why the hell does my usb hard drive unmount itself at times [06:40] your system color and your panel color [06:40] John__: good luck :) [06:40] make sure you download all the packages before you do a search or you'll find nothing [06:40] mdg2: thanks [06:41] Hammerton: ahh, k [06:41] John__: your welcome :) [06:41] night all O/ [06:42] !es [06:42] 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. [06:42] John__: all fixed? [06:43] How do you do that "personsName:" thing before every reply? [06:43] HowDoI, i cnahged to elementary theme....still got the same problem....http://yfrog.com/2tdesk1016j [06:43] I've been trying to find a solution for this for at least a year and my question is usually ignored. Nothing I've found on Google has worked: how do I adjust the speed of my mouse's scroll wheel?? In Firefox especially it is WAY too fast. One click of the wheel and a page and a half flies by! I've tried changing the settings in about:config to no avail. It's the same issue in every other Gnome program too. [06:43] Hammerton, some IRC clients have auto-complete, so you just type a few letters and hit tab, for instance [06:44] Anyone familiar with NAT and iptables that has a moment to answer a small question? [06:44] HowDoI, Ohhhh. I'm using xchat and it seems to be working [06:44] hello [06:44] HowDoI, Thank you. [06:44] how do i get flash for 64bit ubuntu? [06:44] I am on latest release Ubuntu and cannot view .asx streaming feeds, any ideas? [06:44] no-name-: ubuntu-restricted-extras package [06:45] ASX is just an XML file contaning a list of songs to play. [06:45] bastid_raZor: where do i get that? [06:46] i backed up my home folder on an external drive and i'm trying to copy over the relavent files i want, but --preserve=all still gives me the "are you sure you wish to do this, this file is an executable" prompt on every file even though my account is the same, what do i need to do to get it to work? [06:46] no-name-: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:46] Jastur, e.g. http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:45685.asx?bkup=49182 can you view that? [06:46] I just installed the game Pingus from the repos and beat the 8 levels in level set that has the halloween theme. Is that all the levels it has for right now? [06:46] doormat81, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=391860&highlight=wheel post #5 [06:46] cheers bastid_raZor [06:46] wasc [06:47] dartt, the problem is that different parts of the panel are themed individually. The theme-writers for those themes have made images for the background of the indicator applet, clock, etc. and themed them each. The panel background preferences where you set transparency only themes the very farthest back background. The icons, etc get color still === SuP|Lobby is now known as MePHiSto1 [06:47] Yes, but it's a metafile contaning a list of WMA files to play. === MePHiSto1 is now known as SuP|Lobby [06:47] no-name-: if that doesn't work, type !flash in this channel and follow the link.. [06:47] ok [06:47] HowDoI,oh i c.....but sm ppl are able to make the panel completely transparent...dunno how [06:47] no-name-: you have to restart your web browser after installing that package too [06:47] Prez00 : "mms://a1686.l9789245685.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1686/97892/v0001/reflector:45685" [06:48] codebrainz, I don't have a Synaptics device (assuming that's the manufacturer's name). [06:48] Jordan_U: How do you make that "[OK]" and "[fail]" show up when you do a /etc/init.d/
